Alen Ilijic (Serbian Cyrillic: Ален Илијић), (born 30 January 1975 in Gevgelija, SFR Yugoslavia), is a Serbian new media avant-garde composer and polymedia artist. He studied film music with Professor Amit Sen at City of Westminster College in London, and composition, orchestration, electronic music and sound engineering at the Faculty of Music in Belgrade, with one of the most well-known composers, music theorists and modern music scholars in Eastern Europe, Srđan Hofman.

Career

During his studies in London as a singer-songwriter and guitarist, Alen Ilijic formed the band Zealot, in 1993. At the time, his musical expression was in the form of experimental rock, noise and Byzantine music. Zealot performed at Rock Garden, Hope and Anchor, Islington, Red Eye, Mean Fiddler, etc. With its innovative sound, Zealot had a big impact on the British underground scene during the nineties. The band stopped performing in 1999, due to Alen's return to Yugoslavia, Serbia. From this point onward, Alen Ilijic's interest was in the avant-garde movement, under the influence of Béla Bartók, John Cage, Marcel Duchamp and Serbian polymedia artist and composer Vladan Radovanović.

His album I have no coordiNATION was released in May 2014, for the New York-based label 'Ninety and Nine Records'. The album contains eight compositions that were created between 1999 and 2013 in London and Belgrade. Besides three compositions that were performed live (Improvisation for piano, violin and amplifier, at Student Cultural Center Belgrade, 2010, My suspicious look at the Yugoslav Drama Theatre, Belgrade, 2008, and I have no coordiNATION, at Belgrade Philharmonic Orchestra Hall, 2007), others were recorded and realized in Ilijic's home studio. My suspicious look is an aleatoric composition performed by Ilijic and Jean Geoffroy, produced by the Italian composer Michelangelo Lupone. I have no coordiNATION was performed by pianist Neda Hofman and recorded by Srđan Hofman. As a retrospective, the album displays the diversity of Ilijic's creative work.

The Composition for piano, voice and body movement called Red Faces was premiered at the international music festival 'Stone upon Stone' which was held in the Symphony Orchestra Hall, April 17, 2015, Niš, Serbia. The Red Faces is a homage to Gertrude Stein as a reminder of the terrible past, wars and Holocaust in order to emphasize the similarity to current wars crimes and sufferings. During the same year, Ilijic has performed this composition at the 'Noise Mobility Festival', Munich, Germany, on 23 May. Another part of the performance included the use of guitar, voice and electronics. Furthermore, in 2016, Ilijic has performed Red Faces in Tel Aviv, Israel at Hateiva, as part of the festival The Unbearable Lightness of Coherency, on January 30. On that occasion Ilijic collaborated with Dganit Elyakim, playing together with her composition for piano and voice, 'Failing Better'. During his visit to Israel, he also performed with one of the greatest Israeli vocal artists, Anat Pick, and with Nadav Masel bassist and improviser, at Zimmer, in Tel Aviv. His performance of the Red Faces was held at 'Interpenetration', Club Wakuum, Graz, Austria, on March 17, 2016.

In October 2016, Alen Ilijic went to the United States. He performed in the Bratton Recital Hall, at The University of New Hampshire, Paul Creative Arts College (PCAC), on October 20, and at Portsmouth Music and Arts Center (PMAC), New Hampshire, on October 21. On both occasions, he performed the composition Red Faces but also a part with the use of guitar, voice and electronics, called Zealot's time. Before these performances, Ilijic held a lecture to students about his way of composing at The University of New Hampshire, Department of Music, on October 18. This is the second time Ilijic held this kind of lecture, the first time was in Vienna, at Universität für Musik und darstellende Kunst Wien, on April 13, 2016. The interview about Ilijic's visit to USA was published for The New Hampshire's 18th issue of the 2016–17 academic year. Also, Russ Grazier, Jr. (co-founder of PMAC, Portsmouth, executive director, saxophone, composition, music theory and ensembles) has interviewed Alen Ilijić, and it's available at the PMAC's podcast.

In 2017 Ilijic's composition for piano and voice Ongevarfen/Disordered was premiered at Mandagsclubben, in Copenhagen, Denmark, on March, 27. Ongevarfen/Disordered is a composition dedicated to all the victims of NATO bombing of Yugoslavia. Ilijic's intention of playing it was marking a commemoration of the bombing that began 18 years ago, on 24 March 1999.
On May 18, 2017, Ilijic has performed at Echoraum, 1+1=15,3 Ι Piano Soli festival in Vienna, Austria. During this occasion, he has performed the composition Red Faces by request of an Austrian composer-performer and festival director, Katharina Klement.  The festival is supported by International Society for Contemporary Music, ISCM. On 5 August, Ilijic has performed at NO NOISE festival, Sonoscopia, in Porto, Portugal.<ref>[https://www.dn.pt/lusa/festival-de-musica-experimental-no-noise-acontece-hoje-no-porto-8686468.html?fbclid=IwAR1Kct9f7bB4mZNuTjiqEn7CPqY4jYY5mSFYci_7WIpO9cBPQubSDvV-LyA Festival de música experimental No Noise acontece hoje no Porto, dn.pt]</ref>

In 2018, on February 25 and 26, Ilijic has performed at Zimmer, in Jaffa, Tel Aviv, Israel. On both occasions, he performed compositions for piano and voice called A Broken piano and for guitar, voice and electronics. These compositions are dedicated to all the victims of a Nazi concentration and extermination camp called Semlin during World War II, located in Belgrade, at the time in the Independent State of Croatia (NDH). Also at Zimmer Ilijic held a lecture about his way of composing. On July 1, Ilijic has performed at Kunsthaltestelle Streckhammerhaus, Frohnleiten, Austria. In the same gallery his painting The Eternal Chess was exhibited from 1 July until 31 July 2018. On 28 September, Alen Ilijic has performed at Mazkeka, in Jerusalem, Israel.

In 2019 Ilijic performed in Athens, Greece, at Chimeres on April 6. The composition for piano and voice called Overtake  was premiered at KSET, ZEZ festival in Zagreb, Croatia, on April 10.  During this occasion, Ilijic also had an exhibition conceived with the paintings on paper which are, in the form of visual scores, deeply connected with music and his compositions. On May 4, Ilijic performed at aNOther festival, Vienna, Austria and had a solo exhibition. Also, Alen Ilijic performed his compositions for piano and guitar named R V Human Trash? at Apo-33 in Nantes, France, on November 15.

In 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Ilijic's entire musical and artistic engagement was online. His four paintings and composition Let's Rave in a F grave were part of the digital visual art exhibition Breathing While Black as a response to the ongoing slaughter of Black Americans: the police murders of George Floyd and Ahmaud Arbery, and the killing of Breonna Taylor in her own home. The exhibition was organized by Augusta Savage Gallery, at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, United States, and it was held from September 1 until November 20, 2020.
Another Ilijic's four paintings as well as the composition Disturbing a Cycle were presented online at the festival Cross Cities 2020, located in Sant'Agata de' Goti, Italy, from September 9.  In Taiwan, his video performance named Improvisation for piano - Zone 2 was played at One More Festival - Border Lines on December 12. Ilijic's new EP Classified was premiered at TEIA - programa de rádio, in Portugal, on December 12. Ilijic's self-released EP Classified was published online, on December 18. Dave Foxall, (former writer for Jazz Journal UK, and editor of a Jazz Noise, wrote about the Classified in his review: 'The brevity works. Short, intense, not a moment wasted – carving your attention into new shapes. Each momentary fraction leaves you grasping for more... even if 'more' could easily be surfeit.'
Two compositions Classified  and Disturbing a Circle from the EP were played on radio station CandoFM, UK, at Space is the Place Radio Show, in Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria, North-West England.
Since May 27, Alen Ilijic started with his own digital exhibitions on his website.  These exhibitions are curated by art historian and his wife Milica Ilijic.

Rob Haskins, (D.M.A., PhD Professor and Chair, Department of Music, College of Liberal Arts University of New Hampshire) has analyzed his music: 'lijic's music is guided by an unerring intuition, revealing unexpected connections among the wide variety of utterances that mark the extraordinary richness of the total musical world available today. But, like Arnold Schoenberg, Ilijic has forged from the materials around him a new and consistent world entirely his own.'

 Exhibitions
As a polymedia artist Alen Ilijic has had three solo exhibitions in Belgrade: Stellar Refugee (2011), NOISYGENES (2014), and Zone 2 (2017).
The Stellar Refugee contains prints of manual drawings, sound installation and a documentary film, dedicated to Gustav Mahler. NOISYGENES is a project conceived with neo-expressionist paintings, symbolic prints and performance, as a way to examine the concept of noise. Neo-expressionist paintings carry an echo of Jean-Michel Basquiat's voice, which is present in Alen's gesture and use of words. An inseparable part of the exhibition was homonymous performance – improvisation for electric guitar and electronics.
The projects Stellar Refugee and NOISYGENES were supported by the Serbian Ministry of Culture and Information.

His triptych Cyclic was exhibited at the group exhibition called I Breathe With You at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, United States, Augusta Savage Gallery, from February 1 until March 11, 2016. The exclamation 'I can't breathe' was made by Eric Garner, an African American man, 11 times while lying face down on the sidewalk after being placed in a police chokehold.  He died one hour later from a heart attack due to injuries to his neck and chest. A grand jury decided not to indict the offending police officer. 'I can't breathe' has become one of the most recognizable utterances of recent protests against oppression. I Breathe With You establishes the artist as an ally to people and communities that suffer social injustices and other atrocities.

A third solo exhibition  I am movable Jasenovac was curated by art historian Milica Ilijic, and held at 'KC Ribnica' Kraljevo, Serbia, in September 2015. The exhibition is based on the theme of the largest concentration camp in the Independent State of Croatia where Serbs, Jews and Roma were killed during World War II (1941–1945). It is focused on personal research, genetic affiliation (and thus racism), anti-Semitism and discrimination, current and past. The commemoration of the Jasenovac's victims and emphasizing discrimination, specifically Serbs, is in connection with the recent political turmoil in the European Parliament and adoption of the Resolution of Srebrenica. The project I am movable Jasenovac reveals the absurdity of negative stereotypes about the Roma, Serbs and Jews, which persist in contemporary society. Going back to the past, to illuminate his own origin, Alen Ilijic has also made a step towards the future: towards equality, justice and dignity.

The project New Media Opera ONGEVARFEN (DISORDERED) started in Graz, Austria, on February 2016, and it is dedicated to the one of the most influential Austrian composers and painters of the 20th century, Arnold Schoenberg.  The new media opera consists of three main parts: artworks; a composition for piano, voice and electronics; and a video installation. These three approaches to expression coexist as interactive parts among each other, especially with the live performance of the artist. As inseparable and equal parts with respect to importance, they form a unit showing Ilijic's great polymedia talent.Zone 2 is the fourth solo, polymedia exhibition by Alen Ilijic, conceived with paintings, prints, ready-mades, video projection and spectral composition which is created for the gallery space. During the closing of the exhibition Alen Ilijic has performed three works: two compositions for piano, voice and electronics named Red Faces and Ongevarfen (Disordered)', as well as a piece for guitar, voice and electronics named Zealot's time. The exhibition was curated by art historian Milica Ilijic, and held at the Gallery ŠTAB, Belgrade, Serbia, on 14 January 2017. The project Zone 2 has multiple meanings: it refers to the smaller part of the city where the artist lives, experiencing it in a function of narrow, isolated space, or a detention facility. Such alienation is caused by the ingrained societal rejection of liberal visions and innovative ideas expressed in music and art. Thus, Zone 2 indicates parts of any country in which, de facto through the centuries, geniuses have carried the burden of radical movements. The focus is on the mental process of creating, a constant need for documenting new ideas, emphasizing the importance of the phenomenon of creativity. The project is also in the context of marking a 'liberated' space for understanding the opposed ideas and places for the realization of innovative approaches. Zone 2 shows the attitude of the artist in relation to the wrong perception of the viewer, as a result of the increasing commercialization of art with surface qualities of form. The project brings an atypical model of the artist's behavior: negative reactions are not in the service of questioning the ideas' initiatives; on the contrary, they are in a function of additional incentives, as well as an 'evidence' of shifting borders of contemporary standards.

It is a part of the project Ongevarfen (Disordered), a new media opera, dedicated to Arnold Schoenberg. The painting brings the invention of totally new game – chess, now without any standard rules, but with an emphasis on equality and an infinite possibilities, as never ending composition. The chess board makes central composition, with drawing which contains musical parameters such as: melody, intervals, pulse, timbre, noise, microtones etc.; as visual example of the new game. While this chess reveal great coherence between art and music, it also remind us that every invention is based on the new parameters, as every revolutionary music is.

 Online releases
Ilijic's self-released EP 'Classified' was published at Bandcamp platform on December 18, 2020.
Album 'I have No CoordiNATION', Ninety and Nine Records, 2014. Composition '23 Sec. Violin Duo' was published in the compilation called '23 Seconds of Time: Volume 11'. For an album An Appreciation, The Music of Ancient Greece'', Ilijic has released the composition 'Τράβα ρε αλάνη '.The 'Buddhist On Fire' label compilation, 'Cantabile', has released his composition 'U Can't Control Me (For Violin And A Computer Generated Voice, 2015)'. The cover art for the compilation uses Ilijic's artwork. Black Planet Records has published the composition 'My Suspicious Look' on 'Balkan Under The Radar Vol. 2: The Black Wave'

It seems that necessity to work hard to rebuild the country became a custom and obsession in South Kora. The nation underwent the deadly and destructive three-year-war until 1953. People had no choice but to work whatever it took to put food on the table. And men seem to have been expected to do the job for their families and by the employers ever since. Workplaces are understaffed, workers are overburdened, and organizations are mismanaged. Korean workers worked much longer hours than other OECD member states. As a result, the numbers of deaths by overwork went so high that a word dedicated to such death was created, gwarosa.
Good news is that a new regulation will be put into effect next year to limit weekly working hours to 40 from 68. That'll make significant changes to workplaces, workers and their families if it is enforced. The problem is that the law applies only to large companies that employ 300 or more workers, at least for a while.


I was asked to give a talk at a Jewish women's group in Augusta, Georgia. The topic chosen was "The Power of Women." I felt confident that I easily could address the theme, so I agreed to attend the engagement. After all, I am a woman and am not exactly a shrinking violet. And, as many family and friends can attest, I can talk incessantly about anything. I put it out of my mind, figuring I had plenty of time to prepare my thoughts and remarks.
The event is on Sunday and panic crept into my consciousness this week. Suddenly I was not feeling clear or sure about the subject. What does "the power of women" even mean?
I pulled up my web browser and typed in the words "powerful women." As soon as I hit the enter key, up popped the "25 Most Powerful Women – Forbes." Okay, I thought, a list of twenty-five is easy to comb through. Let's see what makes women powerful. I clicked on the link and went to the page.
Disappointment immediately set in. The women featured certainly can be described as powerful; they are wealthy, run major companies or countries, and have penetrated a variety of fields from business to finance, and politics to entertainment. Now, not to take anything away from their legitimate successes, the reality is that Jewish women typically aren't CEOs…not even in the Jewish non-profit world. (Read a recent article, Now is Not the Time for Respect, written by a colleague, Rabbi Lou Feldstein.) So why did I feel let down? Because the list – at least on the surface – does not come close to capturing what I believe and have learned about the power of the women I know.
First, let's acknowledge up front the fact that many women I know do not leverage or exploit their power. The majority are not rich. Many cannot speak up to ask for (or demand) what they deserve. Many do not position themselves for higher levels of leadership or advancement. Many stay in situations that pigeonhole or hold them back. Many do things for others at the expense of themselves. And, even if they hold higher management positions, many still cannot find their own voices.
The women I know – the ones who have confidence, smarts, compassion, and a bit of chutzpah – get stuff done. They take chances. They don't wait to be asked and don't seek approval. They make and raise money. They solve problems. They motivate and rally teams. They are resilient and creative. They don't take no for an answer. They learn from adversity. They take on challenges. They strive to make a difference. They do things that achieve real impact. They accomplish things on a shoestring budget. They negotiate, adapt rules, and push the envelope. And, they do all this – and more – while juggling morning carpool, navigating afternoon pickups from soccer practice, and buying birthday presents. They do all this with charm, grace, and a sense of humor…with little thanks and hardly any recognition.
But there's so much more. When they come together, especially for the common good, women make extraordinary things happen. (Even if the beneficiaries of their efforts are unaware of their actions.) And they do so with no thought or fear of failure. These are the times during which they excel and shine. This is when they are beautiful, inside and out. This is when you can see, hear, and feel the true power of women. This is when you know you are in the presence of greatness.
To all the powerful – and empowered – women in my life (and you know who you are), may you continue to go from strength to strength as you do what you do to make our world a better place.

Love You, Truly by Susan L. Tuttle {A Book Review}
**I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher for consideration. All thoughts are 100% my own.
Blake Carlton, the camera-shy son of Hollywood's Darling, dodges the invasive limelight and scripted relationships that so often accompany fame. But when his mother's popularity declines and she falls into a depression, he offers himself up as the next bachelor on a reality show, hoping to reignite interest in her career while creating a way for them to finally connect.
After her fiancé dumps her for her best friend, aspiring photographer Harlow Tucker is done with romance—until her beloved, disabled sister requests her aid to start a nonprofit. Harlow agrees to do whatever is needed to raise funds, even reluctantly costarring on a dating show with a notorious womanizer who distrusts anyone behind a lens.
As Blake and Harlow navigate the superficiality of a reality show, their preconceived notions of love are challenged. Deciding to trust each other feels like the ultimate risk, but taking that chance could lead to a love truly picture-perfect, worth both of their hearts.
Susan Tuttle lives in the Mitten State where she's a homeschooling mom of three and happily married to her best friend. Between raising her teens and leading the women's ministry at church, she finds time to write. She's firmly convinced that letters were meant for words, not math, and loves stringing them together into stories that inspire and encourage. Romance, laughter, and cookies are three of her favorite things, though not always in that order. Connect with Susan at www.susanltuttle.com.
Oh, what a fun and unique read this was! At first I must admit I wasn't sure what to expect from it. I'm not a big reality TV fan, so I wasn't sure if that would affect my opinion of the story. And honestly, it didn't at all. It might poke fun at the actual reality of reality television, but it does so in a way that I honestly think that those who watch it and those who don't will enjoy it just the same. It had all the makings of a good romantic comedy and I couldn't help but smile as I read it!
In this story we meet two rather imperfect characters: Harlow and Blake.Harlow has dedicated her life to taking care of her disabled sister, putting her own interests to the side. Blake grew up in the spotlight with his actress mom, but as such had learned to keep his distance from those around him who always seemed to want another piece of him. From the moment they meet for his new reality dating show, sparks fly... though not always in a positive way! Their back and forth throughout the story kept me wanting to read on. It was humorous, it was fun...and it was truly a fantastic chemistry.
Speaking of chemistry, for a Christian romance, it did seem like there was more attention than usual paid to the physical for this particular genre. Don't get me wrong, this is still very much a clean romance but there were many instances where bodies were admired, there was some pretty steamy kisses and even implications of going further than that. Again, it wasn't graphic, it wasn't talked about in any real detail, just more so than what you typically find in Christian fiction. As such, more conservative (or younger) readers may not enjoy that aspect of the story. Personally, I feel like in this story it made it more genuine. It also really allowed us to see the growth that Blake makes throughout the story, and to see God working on him through it too and that even more than the romance was absolutely fantastic to see.
Overall, I really enjoyed this story. I look forward to checking out more from this author in the future!

Where social justice + environmentalism meet

Where social justice + environmentalism meet r1 Jess Housty shares how RAVEN's amazing community provided strength and support to carry her Heiltsuk community to victory. ... View this email in your browser.
Hi PAOV,
As winter descends with its crisp air and frosty stillness, at RAVEN the season is a time to celebrate community and a reverence for the natural world.
Heiltsuk councillor Jess Housty sat down to reflect upon what your support means to her Nation. Housty, who is raising her two children in Bella Bella on the central coast of B.C., reflects on past victories, with an eye to the future.
"Our culture and our identity as a community is so rooted in respect and reciprocity, stewardship and taking care of each other and the lands and waters. And one of the really beautiful things that's starting to coalesce now is relationships pulling together in a way that really gives traction to the goals and ideas that are rooted in those strong Heiltsuk values."
Back in 2014, thousands of supporters just like you joined forces with Heiltsuk Nation (and six other Nations) to achieve what then seemed impossible: stopping the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline and tankers project.
Reflecting on that incredible win, Jess shared that, "in the moments when things were really challenging, being able to remind ourselves how many people were standing with us always gave me so much strength."
Click to view Jess Housty's interview on RAVEN's website.
One of the most significant things you do as a RAVEN donor is steward a vibrant natural world by supporting Indigenous Peoples when they take to the courts to defend their territories. Monthly donations are a vital pillar in the stability of the organization, and ensure the important work of raising legal defence funds for Nations across Canada can continue. Now, we're asking you to step up. Please join our Circle of Allies to provide tangible, sustainable support for RAVEN's campaigns.
Requests by Indigenous Nations to support their legal actions are increasing. Yet: the ability to take on more campaigns largely depends on organizational capacity. Though we watch costs, and have a small (but mighty!) team, in the end it takes people to build the successful campaigns that have become RAVEN's trademark. We share your goal to support as many Nations as possible to access justice and defend their rights, territory and our shared environments. Will you become a monthly donor in order to extend the circle of support, and stand with Nations that are defending our common future?
This year's goal is to sign up 50 new monthly donors by the end of 2019 and we're almost half-way there! Will you help to move the needle, and commit to reconciliation and climate justice? (Fun bonus! A limited edition RAVEN toque will arrive in your mailbox if you sign up at $20 a month or more.)
Be part of putting the 'solid' in solidarity.
With warm gratitude,
Kathryn + the RAVEN team.
P.S. First Nations' led legal challenges are edging us all closer to true reconciliation, and conserving places we love and call home. Join RAVEN's Circle of Allies and know you are lending strength to Nations all across the country.

Best Supporting Performer in a Movie in 2019
From Joe Pesci in The Irishman to Willem Dafoe in The Lighthouse to Brad Pitt in Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood, who won Best Supporting Performer in a Movie in 2019?
By IGN Entertainment Staff
Updated: 31 Dec 2019 12:32 am
Posted: 20 Dec 2019 8:10 am
IGN's Best Supporting Performer in a Movie category recognizes the actors and actresses who were not quite the stars of their films, but who made a big impression nonetheless. 2019's nominees run the gamut from players in comedies to thrillers to horror to straight-up dramas, but they all left their mark on the year in film.
This is our winner for the Best Supporting Performer in a Movie of 2019.
Best Supporting Performer in a Movie in 2019: Brad Pitt (Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood)
An almost transcendently cool Brad Pitt delivers his best performance in years as war vet-turned-stuntman Cliff Booth, whose sun-kissed appearance belies the inner darkness that's cost him everything but the affection of his dog and his pal Rick Dalton (Leo DiCaprio). Cliff may project a Zen-like chill but there's a coiled intensity lurking under the surface that speaks to the violence he's capable of committing. Cliff is in many ways a more interesting and complex character than the narcissistic and fragile Rick, but DiCaprio and Pitt share a breezy, boozy chemistry that makes them great foils for one another.

IGN People's Choice Winner: Brad Pitt (Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood)
Brad Pitt was also our People's Choice winner for Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood, nabbing 25.4% of the vote. Joe Pesci followed him for The Irishman with 16.5%, and Willem Dafoe's The Lighthouse performance got him third place and 14.2% of ballots.

Nominees: Best Supporting Performer in a Movie in 2019
Scarlett Johansson (Jojo Rabbit)
As Jojo's mom Rosie, a member of the Resistance, Scarlett Johansson gives arguably the best performance of her career. It's equal doses heartwarming, funny, sad, and courageous. Rosie's relationship with Jojo feels real, with Rosie using humor, love, and even guile to get through to her zealot son. Johansson's best scene is where Rosie portrays Jojo's dad, who has been away at war for years; it's an absolute heartbreaker as she navigates what had started as a contentious exchange with her son to its truly tender and moving conclusion.
For more, check out our Jojo Rabbit review.
See Jojo Rabbit on Amazon
Joe Pesci (The Irishman)
As Pennsylvania mob boss Russell Bufalino, Joe Pesci delivers his first performance in years -- and one of his finest. His tightly coiled, simmering portrayal of the quiet crime boss speaks volumes about how dangerous Russell is; he doesn't need to raise his voice or swear a blue streak to threaten you, making him the polar opposite of Pesci's other, more hot-headed Scorsese mob movie characters. But it's in Russell's more human moments where Pesci truly shines, finding the human being inside the mafioso.

Willem Dafoe (The Lighthouse)
As lighthouse keeper Thomas Wake, Willem Dafoe has never been better, which is really saying something. You can't take your eyes off him, cracking jokes one minute, threatening violence the next, and breaking wind in the moments between. (Seriously.) Dafoe's Wake is a salty old sea dog -– one part Captain Ahab, two parts Long John Silver -– and he enjoys playing the part, bullying his new subordinate played by Robert Pattinson, and never letting him forget who is boss.

Brad Pitt (Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood)
Tom Hanks (A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood)
You can't have a successful Mister Rogers film without a successful Mister Rogers, and Tom Hanks more than rises to the occasion. While not a spot-on impression, Hanks nails the cadence and compassion of Rogers. But what propels his performance further is the natural tete-a-tete between Hanks and co-star Matthew Rhys, with Hanks' unwavering conviction bringing about plenty laughable moments opposite his pessimistic foil.

Jennifer Lopez (Hustlers)
It's Jennifer Lopez's driven performance as Ramona that steers the ship in the fact-based caper Hustlers. Deploying some of the best acting in her expansive career, Lopez is particularly inspiring as the gang's ring leader -– able to flip from considerate to cold on a dime. Lopez's chemistry with lead Constance Wu is electric with a friendship that feels so genuine, you're almost disappointed this bubble they've crafted isn't real.

Da'Vine Joy Randolph (Dolemite Is My Name)
The biographical movie's MVP is Da'Vine Joy Randolph. Introduced mid-way through the proceedings, she shares an electric scene with Eddie Murphy where he identifies her comedy potential, and soon enough she's starring on stage and screen as ball-breaker extraordinaire Lady Reed. Her journey is every bit as engaging as Rudy Ray Moore's, and Randolph gives the character genuine warmth and pathos.

Rebecca Ferguson (Doctor Sleep)
The standout of the horror film's stellar cast is Rebecca Ferguson's villain, Rose the Hat. As the leader of the True Knot, Ferguson imbues Rose with a malice and ferocity that make her a terrifying foe. In her best moments, Ferguson rivals the unhinged madness Jack Nicholson brought to Jack Torrance in the film's predecessor, The Shining.

Kang-Ho Song (Parasite)
While every actor is note-perfect in the darkly funny and often unsettling Parasite, special mention should go to longtime Bong Joon-ho collaborator Kang-Ho Song, who here plays the dirtiest of rotten scoundrels, Kim family patriarch Ki-taek, while at the same time being both the heart and soul of the film. It might also be his best performance too.

Bill Hader (It: Chapter Two)
As an ensemble, the adult Losers Club all have an easy chemistry and humor together that sells their affection for one another. But it's Bill Hader who proves to be the show-stealer as comedian Richie Tozier, whose ball-busting banter with nebbish Eddie provides some of the film's biggest laughs, and ultimately the most heart.

GEODIS in the UK

Brexit: supporting you whatever the scenario
Even if the future relation between The European Union and the United Kingdom remains to be written, the UK exit from the EU will bring changes for businesses of every size and sector and especially in trade compliance (customs).
To support you to get ready in terms of customs and logistics operations with the UK whatever the Brexit scenario, GEODIS provides you with background information, action list and official links.
Questions you should ask yourself
Do you know your business flows between the UK and the EU (e.g.: supplier and customer locations)?
Do you know which port/airport you use for your flows between EU/UK?
As UK will become a 'third country', the flows between the UK and the EU will require customs declarations to be made: What customs procedures do you have for trade with non-EU markets? Are you ready, if the need arises, to apply these to imports from or exports to the EU?
Do you have an EORI number (Economic Operator Registration and Identification number) in the UK and /or in the EU?
Do you know the HS codes (international customs classification system) for your products?
Do you know the origin of the goods that you buy and sell? Are you able to provide the proof of the origin?
Do you know the customs value of the goods that you buy and sell?
Which "incoterms" do you use?
Are your goods subject to prohibition or restriction? Do they need additional documentation (import/export license…)?
Do you import or export using lower duty rates ('preferences') provided by the EU's existing trade agreements?
Do you have EU customs authorizations (e.g.: EU IPR procedure) or a trusted trader scheme such as Authorized Economic Operator (AEO)? As they will no longer be valid in the UK, what will be the impact on your business?
Do you have a customs representative to carry out your customs formalities? Do you have the appropriate power of attorney in place with your customs representative?...
The effects of Brexit on customs clearance
In case the UK leaves the EU, it will be classed as 'a third country', outside the single market. Full customs declarations will be required for all goods imports and exports in and outside the UK.
Your international business needs support for customs procedures and obligations? GEODIS can serve as your certified partner, through its Authorised Economic Operator (AEO) status in 62 entities in Europe, APAC, UAE… and Customs Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT) status.

New tariff regime
The UK has published its new tariff regime the UK Global Tariff (UKGT) which will apply as of 1st January 2021.
From that date, goods imported into the UK, from European Union or other countries, will be taxable with customs duties unless exceptions such as:
Goods from country that has a trade agreement with the UK
Goods have a relief or tariff suspension that is operated by the UK
Goods from countries belonging to the Generalised Scheme of Preferences.
It does not cover other import duties, such as VAT, the precise details of trade remedies measures, other restrictions on imports, such as anti-dumping, countervailing or safeguards. This will replace the EU's Common External Tariff (CET). The new English customs duties rates can be consulted on the website "gov.uk ".

In the latest issue of Journal of Business Anthropology, Volume 2, Issue 2 (2013), I've written a short piece about being a "business anthropologist".
Grant McCracken suggests that every company in the future will need a chief culture officer, someone who carries the anthropological way of thinking into the heart of the company and makes it part of its strategic thinking. Maybe this is not imminent, but hopefully anthropological knowledge and theories will in the future be regarded as of strategic importance for business rather than merely another tool for market research.
Anthropology matters as it can make a difference when judging how matters matter to man. Download the article here.


On the middle of this brief advent to type conception is the assumption of a common estate, very important all through arithmetic. After an introductory bankruptcy giving the elemental definitions, separate chapters clarify 3 ways of expressing common homes: through adjoint functors, representable functors, and bounds. a last bankruptcy ties all 3 jointly. The publication is appropriate to be used in classes or for self reliant examine. Assuming quite little mathematical heritage, it truly is excellent for starting graduate scholars or complex undergraduates studying class conception for the 1st time. for every new specific proposal, a beneficiant provide of examples is supplied, taken from varied elements of arithmetic. At issues the place the bounce in abstraction is very nice (such because the Yoneda lemma), the reader will locate cautious and wide motives. Copious routines are incorporated.
This quantity comprises the court cases of the 7th Workshop in Lie concept and Its purposes, which used to be held November 27-December 1, 2009 on the Universidad Nacional de Cordoba, in Cordoba, Argentina. The workshop used to be preceded via a different occasion, oEncuentro de teoria de Lieo, held November 23-26, 2009, in honour of the 60th birthday of Jorge A.
In algebraic geometry, a scheme is a functor CRing → Set with certain properties. ) The functor F above is a simple example. 7 Let G and H be monoids (or groups, if you prefer), regarded as one-object categories G and H . A functor F : G → H must send the unique object of G to the unique object of H , so it is determined by its effect 22 Categories, functors and natural transformations on maps. Hence, the functor F : G → H amounts to a function F : G → H such that F(g g) = F(g )F(g) for all g , g ∈ G, and F(1) = 1.
For example, every element of a group has a specified inverse, and every element x satisfies the equation x · x−1 = 1. This is why the theories of groups, rings, and so on, are algebraic theories, but the theory of fields is not. 5 There are adjunctions y D Top U  Set y I where U sends a space to its set of points, D equips a set with the discrete topology, and I equips a set with the indiscrete topology. 6 Given sets A and B, we can form their (cartesian) product A × B. We can also form the set BA of functions from A to B.
The theory of fields is unlike the theories of groups, rings, and so on, because the operation x → x−1 is not defined for all x (only for x 0). 4 At several points in this book, we make contact with the idea of an algebraic theory. You already know several examples: the theory of groups is an algebraic theory, as are the theory of rings, the theory of vector spaces over R, the theory of vector spaces over C, the theory of monoids, and (rather trivially) the theory of sets. After reading the description below, you might conclude that the word 'theory' is overly grand, and that 'definition' would be more appropriate.

Israel Folau urges Christians to 'preach repentance' after being sacked for anti-gay social media posts

Former Wallabies star Israel Folau has condemned homosexuality in a church reading broadcast on social media on Sunday.

On Sunday, Folau condemned Christians for allowing marriage equality to pass as law
He has launched legal action against Rugby Australia for his sacking
The footballer was sacked from the Australian rugby team after he posted on Instagram in April that homosexual people were destined for hell.
Speaking to the congregation of a church in the Sydney suburb of Kenthurst, Folau read from scripture and took aim at Christians who did not oppose marriage equality.
"They say that a man and a man should be able to be married and that's (sic) nothing wrong with it," he said in a video on the Truth of Jesus Christ Church Sydney Facebook page.
"This ties into the thing of pleasing man rather than pleasing God and standing up for the truth.
"If there's ever a time to stand up for the word of God, now is the time … otherwise, the truth of God will be slowly taken out."
'These kids in the suburbs are killing themselves'
Rugby league great and groundbreaking gay sportsman Ian Roberts has spoken out over the Israel Folau controversy.
Folau encouraged worshippers to "preach repentance unto people" at the end of the sermon, which lasted for more than 20 minutes.
"This is no game … life here as a Christian is not a playground, there's no mucking around, we are called as soldiers of Christ to go out there and to fight the good fight," he said.
"But at the same time, we show love and grace to people."
Folau had been criticised for his stance on homosexuality in the past, having said gay people were going to hell "unless they repent their sins" in an Instagram comment in 2018.

In 2017, he said he would not support marriage equality in the national postal survey after the Wallabies backed the Yes campaign on social media.
Last month, an independent panel tore up his Rugby Australia contract for a high-level breach of the Professional Players' Code of Conduct.
Israel Folau's sacking isn't the end of this tricky story
Sport is to be commended for striving to uphold the best values of a modern society, but what happens when those values clash — the human right of sexual orientation versus the human right to freedom of religion?
"The expectation is that everybody is entitled to their own differing beliefs and views on all manner of subjects," Rugby Australia chief executive Raelene Castle said.
"But if you are going to express them as an employee of an organisation, when you have signed a contract that clearly sets out the expectations of the values of that code, you must abide by that contract and if you don't, it is a breach of contract and your contract could be terminated."
Earlier this month Folau launched legal action with the Fair Work Commission against Rugby Australia.
A statement from his lawyers said Folau was seeking "substantial remedies from his former employers should they be found to have breached the Fair Work Act in terminating his employment".
