35 Actors Who Died Before Their Last Movie Was Released
by Linnea Crowther January 8, 2018
When Carrie Fisher died in December 2016, her career wasn't done yet — but we had to wait a whole year to see "Star Wars: The Last Jedi," filmed before her death and released in December 2017. She appeared posthumously again in "The Rise of Skywalker" in 2019, filmed after her death and repurposing unused footage from "The Force Awakens." Fisher is in good company with some of the greatest gone-too-soon stars in Hollywood history. Join us to take a look at some of the most notable actors who had films released posthumously.
Luke Perry (1966 – 2019)
Luke Perry gained fame playing teen heartthrob Dylan McKay in "Beverly Hills, 90210," and near the end of his life, a new generation of TV watchers got to known him as Archie's dad in "Riverdale." But Perry also had a noteworthy film career, with roles in movies including "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," "8 Seconds," and "The Fifth Element." His final appearance, released a few months after his death, was as actor Wayne Maunder in Quentin Tarantino's "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood."

Cameron Boyce (1999 – 2019)
Cameron Boyce was a rising star of Disney, beloved by young viewers for his roles in the Disney Channel's "Jessie" and "Descendants." He also appeared in feature films including "Eagle Eye" and Grown Ups" and its sequel. Boyce was just 20 when he died, and he was actively working. Three of his films were released posthumously – "Runt," released theatrically; "Mrs. Fletcher," an HBO miniseries; and the third installment in the "Descendants" series for the Disney Channel, in which Boyce reprised his role as Carlos de Vil, son of the great Disney villain Cruella de Vil.

Stan Lee (1922 – 2018)
Stan Lee wasn't known best as an actor – he was the legendary Marvel Comics leader who created and co-created some of the greatest superheroes ever, including Spider-Man, the X-Men, and Iron Man. But fans of Marvel's movies know that Lee often stepped onscreen for cameos, and viewers loved looking for his brief appearances. After Lee's death in 2018, two Marvel movies were released with his cameos – "Captain Marvel," in which the Marvel intro was replaced by a look through his cameos of the past, and "Avengers: Endgame," in which we saw the very last Stan Lee cameo ever.

Adam West (1928 – 2017)
Adam West will forever be remembered as Batman, having played the caped crusader in the delightfully campy "Batman" TV series and movie in the 1960s. Though West took other roles over the years, he kept returning to Batman, both onscreen and in personal appearances. In fact, his very last role, released after his 2017 death, was as Batman – he provided his famous character's voice in the animated "Batman vs. Two-Face."

John Hurt (1940 – 2017)
John Hurt was Oscar nominated for his roles in "Midnight Express" and "The Elephant Man," and his performance as Kane in "Aliens" offered one of cinema's most unforgettable moments. Director David Lynch called Hurt "simply the greatest actor in the world." Since Hurt's 2017 death, we've been able to see his fine acting in three posthumously released films: "Damascus Cover," "My Name Is Lenny," and "That Good Night," in which he played a terminally ill filmmaker.

Carrie Fisher (1956–2016)
Fisher was just 19 when she took on the role of Princess Leia Organa in the first film of the decades-spanning "Star Wars" saga. It was only her second acting role, and it profoundly shaped her career. When a new "Star Wars" trilogy dawned with 2015's "The Force Awakens," Fisher was back as Leia, now a general and a mentor to the film's young resistance fighters. A year later, she died at 60, but fans had one more star turn as Leia to look forward to: 2017's "The Last Jedi," which expanded the general's role and served as an unexpected but poignant farewell.
Read more about Carrie Fisher
Anton Yelchin (1989–2016)
Yelchin had a short but busy career before his untimely accidental death at 27. In just a little over 15 years, he appeared in more than 60 films and television shows. Most prominent was the 21st-century "Star Trek" reboot series of movies, in which he portrayed Starship Enterprise navigator Pavel Chekov as a wide-eyed, teenaged mathematical prodigy. Yelchin died a month before the scheduled release of the third film in the series, "Star Trek Beyond."

Alan Rickman (1946–2016)
Rickman played great villains, notably the morally iffy Professor Snape in the "Harry Potter" films and the terrorist Hans Gruber in "Die Hard." But his career was widely varied, and he also played romantic leads, notable politicians, and even non-human characters — as in his final film, "Alice Through the Looking Glass," for which he provided the voice of Absolem the Caterpillar. It was one of two posthumous releases for Rickman, who also starred in the 2015 thriller "Eye in the Sky" before his death at 69.

Robin Williams (1951–2014)
Williams built his reputation on frenetic standup comedy and wacky film and television roles. As he matured as an actor, he branched out into more serious roles, but it was with comedy that he took his final bows. Three films featuring Williams were released posthumously, and each went for the giggles in its own way: "A Merry Friggin' Christmas" was a dark comedy, "Absolutely Anything" was a sci-fi romp, and "Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb," the third in a series, was a family-friendly adventure that cast Williams as a wax statue of Theodore Roosevelt that comes to life at night.

Philip Seymour Hoffman (1967–2014)
Hoffman was an extraordinary actor whose career was still at its height when he died unexpectedly at 46. His career highlights included "Capote" — for which he won the Academy Award for Best Actor — as well as "Doubt," "The Master," and "Charlie Wilson's War." He joined "The Hunger Games" series in its second movie, playing gamemaker and rebel leader Plutarch Heavensbee. The series' last two installments were both released after Hoffman died, with the final film needing to be retooled slightly to account for his death before filming was completed.
Read more about Philip Seymour Hoffman
Paul Walker (1973–2013)
Walker built his career on fast cars, rising to popularity with his starring role in 2001's "The Fast and the Furious." Walker would go on to star in five of the film's seven sequels. "Furious 7" was his final film: He died halfway through filming, and his brothers served as his stand-ins in order to the movie to be completed. The Wiz Khalifa song "See You Again," from the film's soundtrack, was commissioned in memory of Walker.
View Paul Walker's obituary
James Gandolfini (1961–2013)
Gandolfini utterly inhabited the role of Tony Soprano in HBO's crime drama "The Sopranos." The iconic and long-running show could easily have resulted in typecasting for Gandolfini as a crime boss, but he branched out, playing the Mayor of New York City in "The Taking of Pelham 123" and one of the enormous, childish monsters in the live-action "Where the Wild Things Are." Gandolfini's final role was in the romantic comedy "Enough Said," and his fine performance earned him posthumous Best Actor awards from the Boston Society of Film Critics and the Chicago Film Critics Association.

Whitney Houston (1963–2012)
Houston was one of the greatest singing stars of her time, and she successfully expanded her career to include acting when she starred in the hugely popular 1992 romantic thriller "The Bodyguard." "Waiting to Exhale" and "The Preacher's Wife" were also successful, but Houston's acting career was largely on hold for the last 15 years of her life. That was poised to change with "Sparkle," a comeback for Houston, but she died at 48 six months before the film's release.
Read more about Whitney Houston
Brittany Murphy (1977–2009)
Murphy was one of the bright young stars of the 1990s, charming audiences in "Clueless" before broadening her horizons and showing off her acting chops in "Eight Mile" and "Girl, Interrupted." Her last movie was the thriller "Abandoned," released eight months after her death at 32.
Read more about Brittany Murphy
Bernie Mac (1957–2008)
Bernie Mac made us laugh over and over, from his standup routines to his television shows to his movies. He stood out in "Ocean's Eleven" ("Twelve" and "Thirteen," too) as con man Frank Catton and turned more heads in movies including "Friday," "Charlie's Angels" Full Throttle," and "Bad Santa." Three of Mac's films were released after his death at 50: "Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa," for which he provided the voice of Zuba the lion; "Old Dogs," which included a cameo from Mac; and starring vehicle "Soul Men." Isaac Hayes, who appeared in a small role in "Soul Men," died the day after Mac.
Read more about Bernie Mac
Heath Ledger (1979–2008)
Ledger rose from a teen movie breakout role in "10 Things I Hate About You" to serious critical acclaim over the course of his too-short career. "Brokeback Mountain" was the movie that, for many, proved that Ledger was the real deal — one critic called his performance "an acting miracle." As he continued to build his reputation as one of the finest actors of his generation, he took on the role that would define his career — and bring it to a close. His Joker in "The Dark Knight" went far beyond goofy to become something more like unhinged and terrifying. Ledger won an Oscar after his death for the posthumously released film (one of two films that came out after he died; he had completed some scenes in "The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus" before his death).
Read more about Heath Ledger
Richard Harris (1930–2002)
Harris had an impressive film career that spanned the decades from his 1959 debut until his very last film, released just after his 2002 death. Along the way, highlights included playing King Arthur in "Camelot," for which he received an Academy Award nomination; gunfighter English Bob in "Unforgiven;" and Marcus Aurelius in "Gladiator." A new, younger generation discovered Harris when he took on the role of beloved Hogwarts headmaster Albus Dumbledore as the film adaptations of the "Harry Potter" series began, but he was only to appear in the first two installments. Harris died just before the release of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets," and Michael Gambon took over the role for the remaining films.
Read more about Richard Harris
Aaliyah (1979–2001)
Aaliyah was just 12 when she signed with Jive Records and 14 when she recorded the first album of an acclaimed musical career. She added acting to her resume a few years later when she starred in "Romeo Must Die," and though the film was a miss with critics, many praised Aaliyah's performance, and she made preparations to give audiences more. She made a second film, "Queen of the Damned," and signed on with the Wachowskis to appear in their two sequels to "The Matrix." But filming on "The Matrix Reloaded" had barely begun when Aaliyah was killed in a plane crash at 22. The only films that survive her are "Romeo Must Die" and "Queen of the Damned," released six months after her death.
Read more about Aaliyah
Oliver Reed (1938–1999)
Reed was one of England's favorite actors in the 1960s and '70s, thanks to roles in iconic films including "Oliver!" "The Three Musketeers," and "Tommy." His career had begun to wind down by the 1990s, but he was poised for a positive return with "Gladiator," in which he played slave dealer Proximo. Reed died at 61 before the film could be completed, and digital magic was woven to complete his performance. The movie was released almost exactly a year after his death.
Chris Farley (1964–1997)
Farley pursued comedic fame with the frenetic energy that became his trademark. One of the best loved "Saturday Night Live" alums, he was known for characters including motivational speaker Matt Foley, who lived in a van down by the river; a Chippendale's dancer; and a Chicago Bears Superfan. Farley began starring in movies while he was still an SNL cast member, debuting in "Wayne's World." Post-SNL, he made audiences laugh with "Tommy Boy, "Black Sheep," and two films released after his death at 33 (the same age at which his idol, John Belushi, died): "Dirty Work," in which he had an uncredited cameo, and "Almost Heroes."
Read more about Chris Farley
Tupac Shakur (1971–1996)
Tupac was one of the most influential rappers of all time, and though music was his primary career, he was also an acclaimed actor. Rolling Stone's review of his first starring role in "Juice" called him "the film's most magnetic figure," and he carried this quality to roles in "Poetic Justice" and "Above the Rim." At the time of his death at 25, three more films were in production, including his very last, "Gang Related," released more than a year after his death.
Raul Julia (1940–1994)
Julia found great acclaim for his acting, turning out fine performances in movies including "Tempest," "The Burning Season," and "Kiss of the Spider Woman." He was honored with a Golden Globe, a Screen Actors Guild Award, and many other accolades. But not every actor gets to wrap up their career with their greatest role — sometimes a flop is what survives the actor, and unfortunately, that was the case for Julia. Video game movie "Street Fighter" was widely panned by critics, but it's part of the legacy Julia left, released two months after his death at 54.

John Candy (1950–1994)
Candy starred in comedy after comedy in the 1980s: "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles;" "Uncle Buck;" "The Great Outdoors" and many more. Before his movie career, the Canadian-born funnyman got his start on "Second City Television," where he was an original cast member of the sketch comedy show that gave SNL a run for its money. Candy was just 43 when he died of a heart attack, leaving two films to be released after his death — the Western sendup "Wagons East" and "Canadian Bacon," in which Candy's character leads a bumbling attack on Canada.

River Phoenix (1970–1993)
Phoenix emerged from an unconventional upbringing to become both a teen idol of the '80s and an acclaimed actor, delighting critics and audiences in films including "Stand By Me," "Running on Empty," and "My Own Private Idaho." "He was obviously going to be a movie star," said Peter Weir, his director in "The Mosquito Coast," filmed when Phoenix was just 15. When he died at 23, he was in the middle of filming "Dark Blood." The movie was left uncompleted and only finished and released almost 10 years later, in 2012.
Read more about River Phoenix
Brandon Lee (1965–1993)
Lee seemed destined for the same kind of action-movie greatness achieved by his father Bruce Lee, especially when he landed his breakthrough role in comic book adaptation "The Crow." But tragedy struck during filming, and Lee was shot with a prop gun that was loaded incorrectly. The injury killed him, and "The Crow" was released more than a year after his death at 28. It earned him a posthumous MTV Movie Award and cult status as an action star whose career was cut far too short.
Read more about Brandon Lee
Orson Welles (1915–1985)
The actor first found fame with his voice, as the narrator of the legendary radio broadcast of H.G. Wells' "War of the Worlds." So authentically did Welles narrate the fictional story of a Martian attack on Earth that panic ensued as many believed they were hearing a real broadcast. Welles went on to become one of the great auteurs of cinematic history, writing, directing, and starring in "Citizen Kane" as well as many others. His last effort didn't have quite the gravitas he had become known for, but when "Transformers: The Movie" needed a deep and resonant voice for the planet-sized villain Unicron, the filmmakers turned to the man who convinced us that a Martian attack was real.
Read more about Orson Welles
Richard Burton (1925–1984)
The Welsh actor may be remembered more for his turbulent relationship with Elizabeth Taylor than for his acting, but there was a time when he was poised to become the greatest talent of his time. He turned in memorable performances in films including "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" and "The Taming of the Shrew." His final role was in the film adaptation of the classic dystopian novel "1984," in which he played party member O'Brien. He died at 58 just two months before the film's release.
Natalie Wood (1938–1981)
Wood gracefully transitioned from child star to teenage ingénue to adult actress in a way that few others have done. When she was just seven years old, her costar, Orson Welles, called her "so good, she was terrifying," and that talent carried her through roles from "A Miracle on 34th Street" to "Rebel Without a Cause" to "West Side Story" and beyond. Wood was filming the sci-fi flick "Brainstorm" when she died mysteriously at 43 while boating with her husband and friends. Her death has never been solved.

Bruce Lee (1940–1973)
Bruce Lee brought martial arts to the U.S., popularizing what had only been a niche interest before his electrifying kung fu films hit American theaters. He starred in just five movies, but between their exciting portrayal of his art and the studio he opened to teach it, he created a generation of martial arts fans and practitioners. Lee was 32 when he died, just six days before the release of "Enter the Dragon."
Read more about Bruce Lee
Spencer Tracy (1900–1967)
Tracy holds the record (along with Laurence Olivier) for most Academy Award nominations for best actor — he earned nine, and won two of them. His magnificent career in the Golden Age of Hollywood had many highlights, from "Captains Courageous" (his first Oscar win) to "Adam's Rib" to "Inherit the Wind" to his final film, the classic "Guess Who's Coming for Dinner." Tracy was very sick as he filmed it, only able to work a few hours a day, but he completed it, died 17 days later, and earned one of those nine nominations for his memorable performance.
Clark Gable (1901–1960)
Gable was the King of Hollywood, a debonair leading man for the ages. From his earliest days in silent films through his very last movie, Gable appeared in almost 100 movies. "Gone With the Wind" was probably his most famous, while "It Happened One Night" won him an Academy Award for Best Actor and "Mutiny on the Bounty" was one of his hugest hits. In 1961, Gable starred opposite Marilyn Monroe in the film that would become a swan song for both actors. Monroe died the year after its release, and Gable died at 59 three months before audiences could see his final performance.
Read more about Clark Gable
Bela Lugosi (1882–1956)
Lugosi chilled and thrilled early moviegoers as he played Count Dracula in the first film to legally adapt Bram Stoker's classic tale of horror. The movie became a classic in its own right, forever informing our idea of how movie vampires should look and behave. And Lugosi found himself typecast as a monster, his career centering on horror films. His last movie was sci-fi, not horror, but Lugosi may have been horrified by it — he never agreed to appear in "Plan 9 From Outer Space," and all his scenes were cobbled together after Lugosi's death from footage shot by director Ed Wood for another film that was never completed.
Read more about Bela Lugosi
James Dean (1931–1955)
James Dean endures as one of the favorites of 1950s cinema, still a major star more than 60 years after his death. Amazingly, that star status is based on just three feature film roles, two of which were released after his death in a car crash at 24. That early death was part of what created Dean's legend, but his acting abilities cemented it. "East of Eden" and the posthumously released "Giant" both earned Dean posthumous Academy Award nominations, but it's "Rebel Without a Cause," also released after his death, that's most indelibly associated with the young star. It set the stage for generations of movies about teen angst, a condition practically invented by Dean's character.
Read more about James Dean
Carole Lombard (1908–1942)
Lombard was Hollywood's highest-paid star in the 1930s, beloved for her screwball comedies and her tabloid-ready romance with Clark Gable. Lombard strove to become a more serious actor in her later career, but realizing that her fans loved her best for her funny roles, she returned to comedy for her last roles — including her very last film, "To Be or Not to Be." The film was released just a month after Lombard's tragic death at 33 — she was killed in a plane crash on her way home from appearing in a rally to sell war bonds.
Read more about Carole Lombard
Rudolph Valentino (1895–1926)
Valentino was one of Hollywood's first superstars, a sex symbol for the ages though his entire career took place in the age of the silent film. His hugely successful movies included "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse," "Blood and Sand," and "The Sheik," which capitalized on his smoldering good looks and talent for portraying both action and romance. When he died of peritonitis at 31, his legions of female admirers erupted in mass hysteria, and tens of thousands of fans showed up at his funeral, where riots broke out. Several films were released after his death, most notably "The Son of the Sheik."

Die Fudan-Universität () ist eine Universität in Shanghai, China. Sie ist auf vier Standorte in der Stadt verteilt. Fudan ist eine der renommiertesten und führenden Universitäten der Volksrepublik China und nimmt in einigen Fachbereichen auch weltweit Spitzenplätze ein. Zudem ist sie Mitglied der C9 League, dem chinesischen Pendant zur amerikanischen Ivy League. Ihr institutioneller Vorgänger wurde im Jahr 1905 kurz vor dem Ende der Qing-Dynastie gegründet.

Geschichte

Die Fudan-Universität wurde als Fudan Public School im Jahr 1905 gegründet. Die beiden Schriftzeichen Fudan () wurden vom Jesuitenpater Ma Xiangbo () aus den konfuzianischen Klassikern entnommen (《尚書大傳•虞夏傳》 Shàngshū Dàzhuàn Yú-Xiàzhuàn – 日月光華,旦復旦兮。 Rìyuè guānghuá, dàn fù dàn xī.).

Im Jahr 1917 wurde die Fudan Public School zur Privaten Universität Fudan () mit angeschlossener Mittelschule. Gleich zu Beginn des Sino-japanischen Kriegs im Jahr 1937 zog die Universität in die innerchinesische Stadt Chongqing um, wo sie 1941 in eine öffentliche Universität National Fudan University () umgewandelt wurde. Nach Ende des Weltkriegs kehrte die Fudan-Universität wieder nach Shanghai zurück.

Im Jahr 2019 protestierten Studierende, als bekannt wurde, dass die Universitätsleitung »Gedankenfreiheit« und ähnliche Begriffe aus ihrer Satzung gestrichen hatte.

Schulen und Studium
Bachelor-Studiengänge werden für 70 Fächer angeboten, Master-Studiengänge bestehen für 229 Spezialisierungen, zudem hat die Universität das Recht, in 29 Disziplinen mit 154 Spezialisierungen Doktorgrade zu verleihen. Philosophie, Nationalökonomie, Chinesische Sprache und Literatur, Journalismus, Mathematik, Physik und Chemie gelten als Spitzenfächer der Universität. Im Jahr 2000 wurde ihr die seit 1927 bestehende Shanghai Medical University als Shanghai Medical College angegliedert. Die Universität verfügt über einen Inkubator für technologieorientierte Gründungen.

In Deutschland kooperiert die Fudan-Universität u. a. mit der Goethe-Universität Frankfurt am Main und dem Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung Mannheim.

In Österreich besteht seit 2004 eine enge Kooperation mit gemeinsamen Studienprogrammen zwischen der Fudan University Journalism School und dem Fachbereich Kommunikationswissenschaft der Universität Salzburg, die das Media & Communication Management (MCM) Programm für Masterstudierende und Austauschprogramme für Doktoratsstudierende realisieren.

Bis 2024 will die Fudan-Universität einen Campus in Budapest errichten. Die Einrichtung wäre der erste Standort einer chinesischen Hochschule innerhalb der Europäischen Union. Der Vereinbarung ging eine Spende der Regierung Viktor Orbáns in Höhe von 2,2 Millionen Euro voraus.

You have heard me moan about by back pain.
Well here's the story of what set it off this time. The recipe of a sauce and noble intentions to please the little woman.
Deepti, who is the only person I know who puts more Facebook updates on food than me, recently made a meat sauce. I asked her what the recipe was. It seemed (and is) so simple that I decided to go home and make it for Kainaz after work. I felt that the dish would be right up my Continental loving Bawi's (Parsi woman) street. To complete the evening I picked up a very girly movie, He's Just Not That Into You.
I went to Pali Market next door, picked up the ingredients, and provisions like juices and Chicken Maggi (which I am suddenly addicted to) and the DVD from Movie Empire. Drove back, took the four bags out of the car, my laptop bag and brolly in one hand, opened the lift door with another... and ping!
Well I strapped up the belt around my waist and hit the pans. That's how easy the recipe was.
When it's done (5 minutes later) add the chocolate and see the dish magically transfer from a pale face to rich ebony. The aroma is sensuous and the taste is magical. A whole new world.
Deepti suggests eating this with herb rice (rice tossed in a bit of olive oil, oregano and chilly flakes). We had it with a baguette from Candies. You could toss it over some boiled spaghetti too.
Kainaz love the film. And the sauce.
So love's labour wasn't lost.
Chocolate ? Wow in a sauce ?

Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Let Boxing Down
by bryan-brennan on Fri, Jan 15, 2010 at 10:09AM
A little over a month ago, I firmly believed the state of boxing was changing for the better. Thanks to the pressure of mixed martial arts (MMA), the demand from fans and the overall talent in boxing, great fights were being forced to happen, pay-per-views were diminishing and boxing fans were turning their frowns upside down.
The two best pound-for-pound fighters were planning to square off in March, and some fantastic fights were just over the horizon. I don't know about you, but my glass was full of optimism for the future of the sport.
Then, they did it to us again. Shame on us for falling for it.
The megafight between Manny Pacquiao (50-3, 38 KO) and Floyd Mayweather Jr. (40-0, 25 KO) was announced on Dec. 8, and negotiations seemed to be moving along quite smoothly. The only wrinkle was the venue. I don't think anybody really cared where it ended up, just as long as it ended up, period. Unfortunately for the fans, it just plain ended.
Rumors started to surface around the holidays that Pacquiao and Mayweather were having issues over the blood testing. Then, just in time for the new year, we were all informed that the situation was bad enough that the fight may not happen. Around the time we were all tired of hearing about it, the nail in the coffin came from Bob Arum, who declared, "The fight is off."
What was such a nice outlook for 2010 has now turned bleak.
Pacquiao will take on a tough contender in Joshua Clottey (35-3, 20 KO) at Cowboys Stadium on March 13. This is a solid fight and a very intriguing matchup for Pacman. Clottey is no pushover and drove both Miguel Cotto (34-2, 27 KO) and Antonio Margarito (37-6, 27 KO) to the brink. Clottey is an extremely dangerous, sturdy and capable fighter.
The fight, however, will most likely land on PPV, and to me, that is no way to apologize to the fans for blowing what could have been the biggest fight in the recent history of the game.
To make things worse, Golden Boy Promotions announced that Floyd Mayweather is making plans to fight an undetermined opponent March 13 at the MGM Grand — most likely PPV, of course. So instead of the greatest fighters in the world punishing each other in the ring, they will be inflicting damage on our wallets.
This is an outcome that doesn't just disappoint fans, but fellow boxers and the sport itself. The ramifications can be felt all the way down to the local level. Chris Traitti (8-1, 5 KO), a native of Quincy, Mass., who is fighting Jan. 22 at The Roxy in Boston, summed up how many fight fans feel: "The worst thing that could've happened to boxing was losing that fight, especially right now with boxing being in the state that it's in."
Simeon Dunwell (10-1, 3 KO), from Peabody, Mass., is fighting on the same card and also had nothing but negative feelings about the collapse.
"You ask me, I think they're both scared of each other," Dunwell said. "It should happen. They could make so much money, and it's good for boxing. … That's why boxing is going down. … MMA is coming up."
Halfway through January, my glass of optimism is already springing a leak from my aggravation with Golden Boy, Arum and the three-ring circus that is the Mayweathers.
To add to the insult of dueling PPVs, Golden Boy has announced that even though Roy Jones was stopped in the first round by Danny Green back in December, they will be going forward with a Jones-Bernard Hopkins rematch. The fight is tentatively slated for April 17 at the Mandalay Bay Casino, and of course, it will be shown on PPV.
In the end, boxing has been through tough times before and will go through tough times again, but Traitti puts it plain and simple: "It's too bad that fight didn't happen, because boxing needed it — bad."
Hopefully, by the end of the year, Pacquiao and Mayweather will put aside their petty differences and realize they aren't just fighting each other. They are fighting to keep a drowning sport relevant.

Ticket Proceeds Donated to Heal the Bay
Video Coverage of Brew Talks LA Now Available
Nov. 10, 2015 at 4:26 PM
We're pleased to announce that video playback from last week's Brew Talks meetup, held at Golden Road Brewing in Los Angeles, Calif., is now available for video playback.
More than 75 brewers, distributors and other industry professionals joined the event, which featured two unique discussions on the business of craft beer.
During the evening's first conversation, Brian Mulvaney, the senior vice president of Bank of America's beverage finance division, discussed investment strategies for craft brewers. In a second discussion, Golden Road co-founder, Meg Gill, and Paul Burgis, the brewery's COO/CFO, explained the circumstances that led them to explore a sale to Anheuser-Busch InBev.
And thanks to the generosity of Brew Talks attendees as well as Beer Business Daily publisher, Harry Schumacher, who made a surprise donation of $1,000, Brew Talks LA raised $1,500 for Heal the Bay, a nonprofit organization dedicated to making Santa Monica Bay, Southern California watersheds and coastal waters safe and healthy for people and marine life.
Included below — and also available on the Brewbound YouTube Channel — are videos of both talks.
Since hosting our first event in the basement of a craft beer bar in Boston in 2013, the meetup series has developed into a multi-city tour where beer industry professionals can come together inside of some of the country's most recognizable craft breweries and share business insights with one another.
The Brew Talks program is designed to provide members of the beer community with an opportunity to come together and have in-depth discussions on the business of craft beer. The events are also broadcast globally via a free live stream.
Through its nine meetups in 2015, Brewbound connected with more than 1,000 beer industry professionals and raised $10,000 for local non-profit organizations.

Do I sound old? Maybe I sound like a business owner. Mostly, I think, I sound like a CSA farmer. The weed, plant, harvest, and deliver routine becomes such a tight circle that getting the necessary tasks done on the farm that are needed to keep all systems running smoothly, leave a very small window of time for leisure activities for the farmers who drive the boat. We're not exactly proud of the all-work, little-play routine that governs our summer months, but we revel in the loosely structured off season that enables us to not only renovate, renew and remodel the farm but also provides us with time to re-claim centered lives and nurture the relationships that mean the most to us.
My immediate family of my sister, brother, mother, husband and my brother's wife, children, and my sister's partner escaped to Devil's Lake for two days of hiking trails, sharing food and playing games and just knowing each other in our mature adult lives. Ironically enough, the farm was still here when we returned. Even though we left the farm in the trusted and able hands of Joe and Adrianne who live in the alternate housing on the farm and work with us, I half expected the farm to have crumbled in our absence. I'm not sure if I thought chickens would be everywhere, pigs would be loose and the vegetables would have simply uprooted themselves and walked away because our eyes left them for 48 hours, but to our relief, everything was perfectly fine and just as we left it when we returned.
It's important for us…ahem, mostly me to remember the importance of distancing myself from the farm. A step back from that which envelopes, drives and becomes me is ultimately essential for not only my personal health, but for the health of the farm. A little extra planning may be required, but everyone involved benefits from a distancing from home and work. Now the batteries feel a bit more re-charged to carry us through the next several weeks of harvesting and getting the gardens ready for winter.
Napa (Chinese) Cabbage- Arguably one of the best kinds of cabbage ever grown. Napa Cabbage is tender and is great shredded or chopped finely into raw asian salads, coleslaws or even making home-made Kim Chi with. Store in a plastic bag in the fridge to preserve moisture.
Bulk Beets- A few beets for everyone this week. There may be a few Chioggia Beets mixed in the bunch which are a pink beet with white rings on the inside of the beet like a target. The Chioggio beets are an heirloom beet that is a bit more difficult to grow. Store in a plastic bag in the fridge to preserve moisture.
White Onion- Another small onion offering for your regular cooking uses.
Sweet Bell Peppers- A nice mix of red, yellow and some purple and orange peppers. We're so happy to be able to give everyone at least 3 nice peppers!
Asian Tempest Garlic- Another garlic for keeping your immunity up as the seasons begin to change.
Yellow and Green Beans- Large bags of beans weighing almost a pound per member. We were busy picking lots of beans this week!
Spinach- The first picking off of our fall spinach successions. The leaves are so tender and succulent, they're a true delight!
Tomato Mix- More beautiful tomatoes to color your windowsil. Allow the tomatoes to sit at room temperature to ripen and remember that tomatoes do not love refrigeration as it can affect their flavor. Put the tomatoes in the fridge only if you need to buy yourself more time before you use them up. This will be our last large tomato giving. After this week, the tomatoes will begin to wane significantly.
Sweet Basil- The basil does not look lovely this week as it was nearly nipped by the frost last Wednesday night. Basil loves warm weather and the cool nights and wind are apparant on the color of their leaves. This will likely be our final basil giving for this summer! Enjoy it while it's still here! Pluck the leaves from the stems and dehydrate the leaves to have a dried basil to use in your winter cooking.
Curly Green Kale- More cooking greens to keep everything running smoothly!
Red or Green Leaf Lettuce- Another small head of lettuce to go around! I must say that I love having lettuce back!
A very interesting thing is a woman farmer. A female farmer with a husband and aspirations to have children is suddenly an astounding endeavor. Who will farm when the woman becomes a mother? Who will do a full day of tractor work while the mother is tending to a new life? Who will lead a harvest crew for 8 hours in the wind, rain and heat while the mother is mothering? How does a farmer-mother allocate her tasks? What tasks can she afford to re-assign? How much of a farmer will she still be when she becomes a mother?
I find myself with a new found respect for the domestic farm wife. For the life of me, I never understood why any woman would want to 'enslave' herself to the home and child rearing. I believed that women were powerful, intelligent and capable creatures who couldn't be contained to traditional roles or occupations. So, finding myself to be one of those strong and "capable" women, I went right on ahead and turned myself into a farmer, of all things. I imagi Adrianne and Adam playing in the Brussel Sproutsned a farm with chickens and pigs and eggs and a big garden and a loving husband, and oh, yes, children! But I never really had much more than the vision figured out, while I assumed that the details would be sorted out later.
I suspect that I'm not the first woman in the world to start wondering how she's going to keep her job and raise her children at the same time. After all, I must not forget that I'm an American woman and I should be able to do both of those things at the same time. And because I am an American woman, I want to do both of these things at the same time. Perhaps this is my dilemma. Possibly traditional roles for men and women are much more practical and functional than we are willing to admit to in our twenty-first century lives.
Female farmers are popping up all over this country. The desire to reclaim land, nurture it to health and "heal" all that has been broken in the world of farming is drawing woman in from the depths of even the largest cities. Farming has become and is still becoming so barbaric, so invasive, and so hostile that the land itself has given up. Tender-hearted, idealistic, and passionately driven women are taking out loans, confusing their families and themselves and buying up old run-down farms with depleted soils and a few saved seeds in their coverall pockets.
I promise you that these women have no idea what they're getting themselves into. I know this because I am one of those women. Many, if not most of them, also have loving husbands, boyfriends and partners. No one can do this kind of work alone, as it would eventually defeat you. Ultimately, though, these women wish to build families and the path before them is no longer straight, but split. These women must learn how to unearth a new kind of strength, direction and motive within themselves. One can only hope that the children these woman and their husbands are raising will carry with them a new kind of wisdom and respect for land that is foreign to even the most progressive of our minds.
Russet Potatoes- Our Russets this year are on the medium size. Definately some smaller ones mixed in the bunch, but russets are a nice mix to have thrown in. They're skin is a bit more rough, but they have a firm, white flesh that holds up well when boiled and baked.
Spaghetti Winter Squash or Buttercup Winter Squash- The Spaghetti Squash are the yellow, football shaped squash. Their flesh is stringy, yet soft like spaghetti. Buttercup Squash has a blue-green outer skin with a nice orange flesh. Buttercups are very creamy and soft when cooked. They can be dry, so cooking with plenty of extra cream, butter, or your favorite forms of moisture-adding ingredients really makes the buttercups shine! To cook winter squash, slice lengthwise, scoop seeds out and bake face down on a pan with a little water at the bottom for 1 hour until flesh is soft. Jillian and Adam poking around the brussels a little more.
Bulk Scarlet Nantes Carrots- More orange carrots!
Brussel Sprouts- Did you know that brussels grow on a stalk? You do now! This is our first time ever being able to give CSA members brussel sprouts in the history of our little CSA farm (6 years). Every year we plant them, but are always disappointed in them somehow too much to give them. There is a lot to learn in growing brussel sprouts! They're still not perfect looking, but we'll keep working on that for future years. You'll need to do a little clean-up work by peeling away one or two of the outer layers on the brussels before you cook them up. Just snap them off the stalks and clean them up before cooking!
Sweet Bell Peppers, Poblano Peppers- We were able to give everyone around 4 peppers agian this week! The dark green, pointed peppers are called Poblanos or Anchos. Sometimes their seeds and the membrane between the pepper wall and the seeds can be hot on occasion, so be careful! Technically Anchos are considered a hot pepper, but their flesh is rarely hot.
Hungarian Hot Wax Pepper or Cayenne Chile Pepper- Hungarian hot wax peppers are yellow to orange to red and have a thicker wall, the cayenne peppers are long and skinny and have a very thin wall. The cayennes are great for drying, just set it somewhere in the kitchen until you're ready to plop the whole thing into a pot of chile.
Yellow Onion- Another onion! Oh boy!
Tomatoes- The tomatoes are on the green side this week. They've been ripening in the field and in our cellar much more slowly these days. This will surely be the final week of large bags of tomatoes! A few more next week but much, much less. Allow them to sit on your counter at room temperature to ripen. Do not place them in your refrigerator until they are ripe and only if you need to buy yourself more time before you use them up.
Yellow and Purple Beans- The final week of beans.
Mustard Greens- Yes, mustard greens. Mustard greens work great anytime you want to add cooked greens to any of your favorite dishes. They are also great in Indian/Nepali cooking when making Saag. Mustard greens are also great mixed in with your lettuce salad greens to be eaten raw.
French Breakfast Radish or Cherry Bell Radish- Yum! The radishes are great this time of year! Not too spicy, very crunchy and far from woody! Don't forget to use their greens in cooking as well! Radish greens would be a nice addition to your Saag.
Red or Green Leaf Lettuce- Another head of lettuce this week. They've really bulked out in size!
The garden is in pick-up, shut-down, and clean-out mode. After two more consecutive frosts on Friday and Saturday night green tomatoes are left dangling on dried out, dead and brown plants. The frosts put an end to any of the warm weather crops that have been hanging on and eeking out any last efforts at ripening or maturing. What we're left with now are only the cold-hardy and frost tolerant of the fall crops.
Nature is shifting her energy downward. We will no longer see flowering plants reaching their beautiful heads proudly up towards the sun or light green shoots expanding their reach and breadth. The sun is going down and stays down longer with each passing day. The leaves are falling down from the trees, the seeds are falling down from the plants and the insects and rodents are burrowing down and creating winter nests. The farm is getting sleepy.
In the morning when we wake in the darkness and dress ourselves to leave the house for chores, we put on layers to protect ourselves from the cold like beanie hats, scarves and I suspect that before long it will feel so cold we will want to wear gloves for carrying buckets to the animals fear our fingers will freeze off. For some people this time of year is sad and calls for a reminiscing of the summer days that were. But for your farmers on Salem Ridge Rd., we're looking forward to a fire-lit winter that is warmed with apple cider, hot cocoa and mint tea.
We're looking forward to offering over the next few weeks some of the warming foods that nature provides in the fall to keep our cheeks rosy and our fingers nimble. This week we have celeriac root for you (the big brother of celery) and beets. In the coming weeks we will have leeks, parsnips, rutabaga and kohlrabi. We'll weight the boxes down with sweet squash like butternuts, pie pumpkins, delicatas and acorns. We will long for the loss of our beloved tomatoes and crispy peppers and learn to appreciate the dense foods that will store for us in our garages, root cellars and refrigerators to sustain us through the long winter up ahead.
Sooo.... What's in the Box????
Butternut Squash- Beautiful, orange Butternuts! They'll keep for a good month or so on your countertop, but they perfer dry, cold storage over time. Slice them lengthwise, scoop the seeds out and bake them face down in a baking dish with a half inch of water for one hour. Butternuts are one of the more popular of the winter squash and deserving of their good reputation!
Napa Cabbage (Chinese Cabbage)- More of this tender fall cabbage. Napas are great for making homemade fermented kim chi or to use fresh in oriental salads.
Bulk Beets- More bulk beets. Beets will store best in a plastic bag in the fridge to preserve moisture.
Red Onion- A sweet red onion for all!
German White Garlic- Garlic will keep on your countertop until you're ready to use it, or it will also keep well in a refrigerator.
Hot Pepper- A small hot pepper for everyone!
Sweet Bell Peppers- We were able to give three or four sweet peppers for everyone again this week!
Cherry Bell Radish or French Breakfast Radish- The higher water content this fall made the radishes crispy and succulent. They're not very spicy, which is making them very enjoyable!
Celeriac Root- Yes, this the funky, brainy looking thing in your box! The celeriac is in the same family as celery. Celeriac has a flavor like celery, but is dense and hard like a potato. It is very nice peeled, boiled and mashed with potatoes. The result is a celery-flavored mashed potatoe. You can also use your celeriac greens for flavoring in a soup or stock like celery.
Tomatoes- Definately the final week of a bag of tomatoes. It's been remarkable that we've been able to give as many tomatoes this year as we have been. It's truly been a remarkable tomato year for the Small Family Farm. You've been able to reap many of the rewards of being a CSA member this season alone through the tomato harvest!
Red Curly Kale or Lacinato Kale- More sweet kale for your sauteeing needs.
Spinach- A large bag of spinch for everyone this week! So many uses for spinach.
Flat Leaf Italian Parsley- Remember that you can dry parsley if you don't think you'll be able to use it all fresh! Pluck the leaves from the stems and lay them out on your dehydrator trays. In hours you'll have bright green dried parsley for your winter cooking!
Spinach Ricotta Stuffed Shells- You could also put your kale in this recipe to make up for what you lack in spinach!
We're so thankful to everyone who came out the farm on Sunday to show their support, walk around with us, and share food with us! We're thankful for the beautiful weather that made Sunday a success and for a bountiful fall harvest that has allowed us to be able to fill your CSA boxes this season with higher value items than we have ever been able to fill CSA boxes before. Thanks, Drew, for giving tractor rides around the farm!
This season has been incredible. Our best growing season ever, in fact!
Doesn't it always feel like when you talk to farmers they have a very woeful story to tell about how the weather was too hot or too cold or too wet or too dry this year? Some farmers I know are never quite happy with the hand that they're dealt. The prices of the crops are always too low and the cost of seeds, maintenance and repairs are always climbing higher. Fertility is never quite right, disease pressure is persistent and the insect populations seem to get heavier. We farmers have so many things to complain about! Granted, they're valid arguments! But maybe we wouldn't be so sorrowful to listen to if once in a while we simply proclaimed "it's been a good year".
Once in a while nature shows mercy on us. She showed us a mild, dry season with no terrible national disasters, no devastating blights that whipped out entire sections of our fields and no major expensive tractor or farm repairs that could cripple our finances. We've made it out the other end whole and nourished. We feel a bit used, worn and tired, but that is to be expected after a demanding and productive season. Increased harvest yields added more to our workload this summer than we projected, but it was a blessing that benefited us all!
We're thankful. So very thankful for very few rainy harvest days that make harvesting miserable. We're thankful for increased soil fertility. We're thankful for really good neighbors. We're thankful for meeting our CSA membership and financial goals. We're thankful for a super rockin' worker-share crew. We're thankful for the upcoming growth of our personal 'small family' and for all of the livestock and creatures that live on this farm and contribute to it's ecosystem. We're thankful for all of the people out there in the world who are sharing information about food and food culture and showing that they care about where their food comes from, what's in it and how it's grown. We're thankful for the community of people who infuse this farm with life and for a damn good year!
Russet Potatoes- More dense potatoes for storage!
Scarlet Nantes Carrots- Store carrots in the pastic bag in the fridge to preserve moisture.
Acorn Winter Squash- Yeah, this is the squash that looks like a large acorn with the blue skin. Slice the acorn squash lengthwise, scoop out the seeds and place face down in a pan with a half inch of water. Bake for 1 hour and serve with butter and maple syrup and you'll be in acorn squash heaven!
Parsnip Root- These are the white roots that are loose in the box. You're used to seeing them a bit larger in the stores coated in wax, but these are the real deal. Parsnips will keep for monthes in a plastic bag in the fridge. They're a delicious, sweet root that is best when cooked. Can you tell that parsnips are in the same family as carrots? Walkin' on a country road!
Sweet Peppers- The pepper plants were nailed by the frost twice last week exposing the fruits to an intense week of full sun. Some fruits were even frosted on a bit. The fruits don't seem quite as crisp and fresh as they did a month ago, but we figured that we still had a very nice pepper giving left to share with you. Use these guys up sooner rather than later!
Hot Pepper- Either a small hungarian hot wax pepper or a long and skinny chili pepper.
Kohlrabi- You may have received a white or purple kohlrabi. Peel kohlrabi and eat raw or use in a stir fry. Remember that you can use the kohlrabi leaves like kale in cooking!
Zefa Fino Fennel- Beautiful fennel bulbs! You may remember the fennel from this spring. It's the funky vegetable that's in the same family as celery and you can cook with it interchangable. It has a licorice flavor that is made mild when cooked. You can also use the greens for garnishing or flavoring in cooking.
Packman Broccoli- Large broccoli heads for all! Some of our broccoli became a bit overmature this week in the heat and with our busy schedules we didn't get it harvested on time. But it still looked pretty good, we thought!
Tomato Mix- 3.3lbs of tomatoes. Tomatoes are looking a bit cracked, blemished and scuffed this week in our final week of tomatoes. We figured that an ugly tomato is better than no tomato at all. Some people like to cook with green tomatoes! They should still ripen nicely on your countertop.
Cut Spinach- A huge bag of spinach this week for everyone! .83 lbs of spinach! Whoa!
Leeks- Leeks are in the same family as onions. Cook with your leeks like you would with onions. Use the entire stalk with greens. You can even eat leek roots!
Creamy Coconut Carrot Ginger Soup- (Thank you Adrianne for sharing this one at the potluck;) Walking the farm tour out to the pigs in the pasture under the hallmark maple tree on our farm.
In my opinion, the smallest changes and expansions in your diet that may seem inconsequential to you are what is propelling this local food movement forward. If the only thing that's different about your diet now than what it was in May is that now you know that you like to eat kohlrabi and dip or that now you put spinach in your lasagna, then I am satisfied. These small changes that you're making in your life are impacting the people that you feed, the people you share recipe ideas with and let's not forget, your own personal health.
Local and fresh food (forget organic) is literally and metaphorically "gaining ground". New Farmer's Markets, CSA Farms, community gardens and even small family farms are popping up all over the country. The availability of local foods from meat to vegetable is becoming more important to all of us. While not entirely ready to forfeit our cup of coffee or our bags of oranges, we are at least becoming more aware of their foreign nature and what is involved in bringing these foods to our tables.
In the center of my heart lies the true sustainability of the idea. It's not just about the "20% growth of the organic industry", or even whether or not "organic food can feed the world". Long before the economy of local foods lies the community of it. Without the community surrounding food, there would be no economy to support it. It's really about a super tasty cup of locally roasted fresh coffee and knowing the names of the kind folks who roasted it. It's about knowing the names of the folks who raised your half cow this summer and that the cows were on fresh grass all season and remembering this while you're grilling with your neighbors. It's also about eating some really, really good soft cheese and pears that you picked up at the farmer's market on Saturday and knowing the name and face of the family that made and grew them.
I care even less about what we eat than why we eat. When we learn to eat with the knowledge that three times a day we can vote for something that we believe in. We can eat because we love to share our home-made recipes with friends. We eat because we want to preserve farmland, save the endangered family farm, prevent monocropping, and nurture the preservation of heirloom seed varieties. At the Small Family Farm we are eternally thankful for your support of our small family farm. We're thankful for your e-mails, cards, showing up for our potlucks, your worker-share hours or simply your modest increase in vegetable consumption. Thank you for a wonderful 2011 growing season. We look forward to growing with you next year!
Pie Pumpkins!- Gorgeous little pie pumpkins for making home-made pumpkin pie with! Cut a lid out of the top, scoop the seeds out, put a little water or milk inside and bake with the lid on the pumpkin for 45min-1 hour at 350.
Green Cabbage- Cute, small little green cabbages. They barely matured in time for our final CSA delivery, but perfect little cabbages for all!
Brussel Sprouts- The stalks of brussels were so long, we had to crack most of them in half to fit them in the box. Snap them off the stalk, peel back a couple of the outer layers and steam or pan fry until cooked through.
Rutabega- Yep, a rutabaga! These are great boiled and mashed with potatoes, cubed in a stew or soup or roasted with other roots in a roasted root veggie dish. The greens on the rutabaga are also edible like turnip greens.
Sweet Bell Peppers- A few sweet peppers for everyone again this week. Only once before have we had sweet peppers all the way into our Week 20 boxes. What a fabulous pepper year!
Chile Pepper- A small, cute little red chile for cooking with your fall soups.
Bulk Beets- These beets will keep in the fridge in a plastic bag to preserve moisture for over a month or so.
Leeks- Beautiful white leeks. Leeks are in the same family as onions. You can eat the entire leek from the roots to the greens and cook it like you would cook onions.
Broccoli- At least two heads of broccoli for everyone. That warm week in the 80's set all the broccolis to go off at once! We had a major bumper crop of broccoli this week!
Cilantro- Yum. Wish we had this four weeks ago during the heavy tomato season. Better late than never, eh?
Fresh Cut Leaf Lettuce- A few of the leaves are a bit frosted on, but a small giving of cut lettuce leaves for a fall salad.
Spinach- Yum, a half pound of spinach goes a long way! It should keep in the fridge for at least a week or so.

Film Review - Searching for Sugarman
By Alison Lee | Jul 31 2012
Title: Searching For Sugarman Director: Malik Bendjelloul Release Date: Out Now"Singer-songwriters" and "politicians" are nowadays thought of as two entirely separate professions, but there was a time when guitar-strumming, philosophizing poets had the power to direct the course of history. The likes of Simon and Garfunkel, Bob Dylan, and John Lennon have become household names but ask even the keenest of music buffs to tell you about "Sixto Rodriguez" and chances are you'll receive a blank look.But this may change thanks to Searching for Sugar Man, a recently-released documentary by Swedish filmmaker Malik Bendjelloul. This heart-warming and inspirational story has already scooped a few prizes at the Sundance Film Festival including World Cinema Special Jury Prize and the Audience Award, World Cinema Documentary, and may finally bring Rodriguez' music the recognition it deserves.The film charts Rodriguez' brief musical career- a short stint in the seventies where he released two folk-rock albums Cold Fact and Coming From Reality. Rodriguez was discovered playing small-time gigs in Detroit and was all set to be the "next big thing", but somehow his records went almost entirely unnoticed and the musician sank into obscurity.However, in 1991, Rodriguez' albums appeared in record shops in South Africa of all places, where the "failed" musician became bigger than Elvis and the Rolling Stones. In fact his ballads became the anthems of the anti-apartheid, disenfranchised white Afrikaner generation and helped fuel the movement that brought down the National Party in 1994. Bendelloul's documentary also tells the tale of two of Rodriguez' South African fans who took upon themselves the mission of finding out who the real Rodriguez was and what happened to him. Most importantly, they wanted to find out the truth behind the gruesome rumours of his dramatic on-stage suicide.The appeal of this documentary lies not only in its old-school anti-establishment message but in the genuinely stunning location shots. The poverty of the grimy, neon-lit streets of Detroit is juxtaposed against glittering cityscapes of Cape Town and the overwhelming beauty of Table Mountain and the South African coast. The film also takes a detour to the glamorous world of LA as the director interviews various producers involved in making Rodriguez' albums. The documentary is interspersed with footage of the anti-apartheid protests that Rodriguez' work helped incite, and South African fans whose lives were changed by these melodies also have their say. His music provides a backdrop to much of the movie and the quality of his songs will leave you wondering why these albums went unnoticed in his native land.This saga of a humble folk singer bringing about real social and political change seems more like a fairytale than a real-life documentary. Unfortunately not all the questions the documentary raises are answered which leaves the audience with a certain amount of dissatisfaction. But Searching For Sugar Man is nonetheless one of those rare entities: a feel-good film based on real life events, and anyone who claims to love music should ensure they don't miss out.By Alison Lee


Regardless of your health or age, everyone over 18 needs to complete certain legal documents to protect themselves and their family. So what documents do you need in place?
Contemplating losing capacity on a permanent or temporary basis is rarely top of mind but the possibility of an unexpected accident or diagnosis. The Certified Elder Law attorneys at Hurley Elder Care Law can prepare these critical documents and execute them in our offices, your home and if necessary a hospital or nursing home setting.
A General Durable Power of Attorney for Financial Matters is important if you earn any income or own any property. Completing this document will allow someone you trust to step in and act on your behalf should you become unable. Having a GDPOA in place will allow the practical task of day-to-day life to be managed like; paying your bills, communicating with the insurance company and even fixing the roof!
Completing a Georgia Advance Directive for Healthcare is critical for anyone over age 18. This document allows you to appoint the person you trust to make healthcare decisions for you should you become unable. It also provides options for more detailed advanced care planning such as resuscitation, feeding tubes and antibiotics.
A will is a legal document that gives instructions on how to handle your property when you die. It acts as a guide so your estate (real property, bank accounts, investments and your "stuff") can be distributed according to your wishes. The Certified Elder Law Attorney's (CELA) at Hurley Elder Care Law will work with you to draft a will specific to your needs that appoints an executor who will carry out the instructions specified in your will.
Trusts are not just estate planning tools for the wealthy! In fact over the last few decades, people across all income brackets have used trust to plan their estates and to avoid the costs and delays of probate. A trust is a separate legal entity that controls the assets you place into it. Determining if a trust is the right tool for you is an important part of designing an overall estate plan. The Certified Elder Law Attorney's at Hurley Elder Care Law can review your family's situation and recommend a plan that will minimize many of the bureaucratic headaches for your survivors, ease the potential conflict among family members and maximize the assets that can be distributed to your heirs.
When you hear the phrase "estate planning," the first thought that comes to mind may be taxes. But estate planning is about more than just reducing taxes. It's about ensuring your assets are distributed according to your wishes. That's why, even with the estate tax reduction (and eventual repeal in 2010) under the 2001 tax act, estate planning is still critical. In addition, estate taxes still pose a threat with respect to wealth available to transfer to the next generation. Remember, the "sunset" provision means that in 2011 the estate tax will return to where it stood before the 2001 tax act, unless Congress takes further action to change the law.
Because estate planning is not just about reducing taxes but also about making sure your assets are distributed as you wish both now and after you're gone, you need to consider three questions before you begin your estate planning.
1| Who should inherit your assets?
If you are married, before you can decide who should inherit your assets, you must consider marital rights. States have different laws designed to protect surviving spouses. If you die without a will or living trust, state law will dictate how much passes to your spouse. Even with a will or living trust, if you provide less for your spouse than state law deems appropriate, the law will allow the survivor to elect to receive the greater amount.
Should your children share equally in your estate?
Do you wish to include grandchildren or others as beneficiaries?
Would you like to leave any assets to charity?
2| Which assets should they inherit?
You may want to consider special questions when transferring certain types of assets.
If you own a business, should the stock pass only to your children who are active in the business? Should you compensate the others with assets of comparable value?
If you own rental properties, should all beneficiaries inherit them? Do they all have the ability to manage property? What are the cash needs of each beneficiary?
3| When and how should they inherit the assets?
Outright bequests offer simplicity, flexibility and some tax advantages, but you have no control over what the recipient does with the assets once they are transferred. Trusts can be useful when the beneficiaries are young or immature, when your estate is large, and for tax planning reasons. They also can provide the professional asset management capabilities an individual beneficiary lacks.
The primary difference between a will and a living trust is that assets placed in your living trust avoid probate at your death.
Neither the will nor the living trust document, in and of itself, reduces estate taxes — though both can be drafted to do this. Whether a will or a living trust is better for you depends on many personal factors. Let's take a closer look at each vehicle.
1. Notification of interested parties. Most states require disclosure of the estate's approximate value as well as the names and addresses of interested parties. These include all beneficiaries named in the will, natural heirs and creditors.
2. Appointment of an executor. If you haven't named an executor, the court will appoint one to oversee the estate's liquidation and distribution. To read more about selecting an executor and the role of personal representatives, click here.
3. Accumulation of assets. Essentially, all assets you owned or controlled at the time of your death need to be accounted for.
4. Payment of claims. The type and length of notice required to establish a deadline for creditors to file their claims vary by state. If a creditor does not file its claim on time, the claim generally is barred.
5. Filing of tax returns. This includes final income and estate taxes.
6. Distribution of residuary estate. After the estate has paid debts and taxes, the executor can distribute the remaining assets to the beneficiaries and close the estate.
Because probate is time-consuming, potentially expensive and public, avoiding probate is a common estate planning goal. A living trust (also referred to as a revocable trust, declaration of trust or inter vivos trust) acts as a will substitute, providing instructions for the management of your assets on your death and, if funded, during your life. You will still also need to have a short will, often referred to as a "pour over" will.
How does a living trust work? You transfer assets into a trust for your own benefit during your lifetime. You can serve as trustee or select a professional trustee. To read more about selecting a trustee and the role of personal representatives, click here. You completely avoid probate only if all of your assets are in the living trust when you die, or your assets are held in a manner that allows them to pass automatically by operation of law (for example, a joint bank account). The pour over will can specify how assets you didn't transfer to your living trust during your life will be transferred at death.
Some of the strategies in this booklet depend on the ownership of assets. Alaska, Arizona, California, Idaho, Louisiana, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, Washington and Wisconsin have community property systems. (Alaska's is elective.) Under such a system, each spouse usually has a one-half interest in property acquired during marriage. If you live in a community property state, keep this in mind as you relate our ideas to your situation.
Only assets titled in your living trust's name avoid probate. When you create the trust, make sure you direct your legal advisor to change the title of all assets you want managed by your trust's provisions.
The advantages of a professional executor or trustee include being a specialist in handling estates or trusts, no emotional bias, impartiality, independence (sensitive to but not hindered by emotional considerations), and financial expertise.

Support structures to prevent vibrations in post-processing of 3D-printed thin-walled parts
(Nanowerk News) One of the main features of additive manufacturing processes such as 3D-printing is that the complexity of the component shapes is virtually unlimited. High surface quality in metallic components can frequently be achieved only via milling or grinding operations. But milling of thin-walled parts in particular often cause vibrations which impact negatively on part accuracy and on machining time.
The Fraunhofer Institute for Production Technology IPT and the Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology ILT in Aachen will be presenting special-purpose support structures which can eliminate these vibrations in post-processing operations at Farnborough International Airshow from 16 – 22 July 2018.
Additive support structure increases stiffness of a thin-walled blade. (Image: Fraunhofer IPT)
As a rule, metallic components manufactured additively in a Selective Laser Melting (SLM) process, are designed to have larger-than-usual oversize to allow for the functional surfaces to be finished in milling operations since this is the only way of ensuring that all of the surface tolerances and quality requirements can be met. Thin-walled parts are particularly prone to vibration in the course of the machining and material removal operations resulting either in poor surface quality or even rendering the components unusable.
The Fraunhofer IPT and ILT therefore expand the design of components manufactured in additive processes, to include support structures which increase the stiffness of the susceptible areas and reduce vibrations. These supporting elements can be removed with relatively little effort in the course of the surface finishing operation. Parts stabilized in this way can thus be manufactured in higher quality in less time and with lower level of tool wear.
The two Fraunhofer-Institutes, who will be presenting the new concept for manufacturing using additive and cutting for the first time at the Farnborough International Airshow, offer companies interested in becoming our project partners, the opportunity to collaborate in exploring new support structure geometries and in further developing them.

Most early-stage businesses and many other growth-focussed businesses fail, and if you invest in a business displayed on the platform, it is significantly more likely that you will lose all of your invested capital than you will see any return of capital or a profit. You should not invest more money in the types of businesses displayed on the platform than you can afford to lose without altering your standard of living.
Almost all investments you make in businesses displayed on the platform will be highly illiquid. It is very unlikely that there will be a liquid secondary market for the shares of the business. This means you should assume that you will be unlikely to be able to sell your shares until and unless the business floats on a stock exchange or is bought by another company; and, even if the business is bought by another company or floats, your investment may continue to be illiquid. Even for a successful business, a flotation or purchase is unlikely to occur for a number of years from the time you make your investment. For businesses for which secondary market opportunities are available (including any available on the platform), it can be difficult to find a buyer or seller, and investors should not assume that an early exit will be available just because a secondary market exists.
Businesses of the type displayed on the platform rarely pay dividends. This means that if you invest in a business through the platform, even if it is successful you are unlikely to see any return of capital or profit until you are able to sell your shares. Even for a successful business, this is unlikely to occur for a number of years from the time you make your investment.
Any investment you make in a business displayed on the platform is likely to be subject to dilution. This means that if the business raises additional capital at a later date, it will issue new shares to the new investors, and the percentage of the business that you own will decline. These new shares may also have certain preferential rights to dividends, sale proceeds and other matters, and the exercise of these rights may work to your disadvantage. Your investment may also be subject to dilution as a result of the grant of options (or similar rights to acquire shares) to employees of, service providers to or certain other contacts of, the business.
If you choose to invest in businesses of the type displayed on the platform, such investments should only be made as part of a well-diversified portfolio. This means that you should invest only a relatively small portion of your investable capital in such businesses, and the majority of your investable capital should be invested in safer, more liquid assets. It also means that you should spread your investment between multiple businesses rather than investing a larger amount in just a few.
The platform provides opportunities to invest in startup and growth-focussed businesses by way of three types of campaigns: equity, fund and convertible. Information about these campaigns is available here. All the risk warnings above apply to each of the three types of campaigns but you should also be aware of the following in respect of funds and convertibles. As each fund and convertible campaign is different, please ensure you read the campaign text and accompanying documentation carefully.
Fund campaigns allow you to invest in multiple companies that are selected by predetermined criteria, and are often set up by a fund organiser (who may run an accelerator or venture capital fund, for example). Whilst each investment in a company will be structurally the same as a regular equity campaign, your money will be invested company-by-company over a longer period, meaning that your shares in each company will be issued at different times.
Convertible campaigns allow you to invest in a company in return for a contractual right for shares to be issued on the occurrence of a trigger event (generally another round of funding or a longstop date). In return for investing early, you will receive a discount on the price of the shares issued, and sometimes the benefit of a valuation cap. Whilst the investment in the company will be structurally the same as a regular equity campaign, your shares will be issued later than your money is invested.
AutoInvest enables you to automatically invest in regular equity campaigns that meet certain criteria selected by you. Once you opt in to autoinvest, investments will be made into campaigns that meet the criteria without you needing to select individual campaigns, but each investment will be structurally the same as if you had invested into the campaigns individually. You are able to activate and pause AutoInvest at any time, and you will have a period of seven days to cancel an investment made by AutoInvest.
