Says Volker Mornhinweg, Head of Mercedes-Benz Vans, "We are focusing our attention beyond the vehicle to the entire value chain and business environment of our customers. We provide transport solutions for the digital age and evolve the van into an intelligent, interconnected data centre on wheels.
Given the burgeoning business in food and everyday necessities ordered online, demand for same-day delivery or delivery within an hour is increasing rapidly.
Mercedes-Benz Vans all-electric vehicle combines various innovative solutions for last-mile delivery in urban and suburban environments. It is the first van worldwide to fully digitally connect all people and processes involved, from the distribution centre to the consignee.
Furthermore, it is the first van ever to feature a fully automated cargo space and integrated delivery drones. For example, if a parcel service provider stops his vehicle in a residential area, it will be possible to deliver multiple packages to nearby consignees autonomously by air – even if they are not at home – in addition to manual delivery.
This makes the deliverer's job easier, reduces the delivery time and offers end customers new opportunities such as same-day delivery at an agreed time. Mercedes-Benz Vans envisages deployment of the Vision Van boosting efficiency by up to 50 percent on the last mile. The vehicle is equipped with a 75kW electric drive and, depending on the intended application, has a range of 80km to approximately 270km. With the Vision Van, deliveries are emission-free.
As part of the strategic future initiative, Mercedes-Benz Vans will be focusing on three fields of innovation: the first involves incorporating the van into the Internet of Things.
One example is developing a telematics unit for vans which collects and processes data concerning the status of the delivery tour, the present location and the load, and sends this information to the distribution manager. In this way it is possible to monitor and manage last-minute changes within the fleet efficiently from a central point.
Another application concentrates on the efficient part and tool management for service vehicles, for example tradespersons' mobile workshops. In future new holistic system solutions will enable parts to be ordered in a fully automated way by means of an intelligent inventory management within the vehicle, as well as for the relevant parts to be placed overnight directly into the van.
Intermediate steps such as inventory evaluation, ordering parts manually and the tradesperson having to equip the vehicle, are no longer necessary.
The second focal point is on innovative hardware-based solutions for the transportation industry (solutions@vans). Here Mercedes-Benz Vans is working on automated cargo space systems for delivery vehicles for parcel services, for example. Until now, deliverers need to rearrange their packages (on average around 180 per load) ten times while making deliveries within a residential area and schedule approximately three to four minutes per stop.
New, interconnected cargo space systems make loading and unloading much faster, thereby increasing process efficiency. One-shot loading (loading the vehicle with all pre-picked parcels in one go) cuts loading times considerably and reduces the amount of vehicle downtime at distribution centres.
When the deliverer is unloading, the system will show him or her the exact load configuration and make the right package available at the right time for delivery depending on the delivery destination. The team also has the integration of autonomous delivery systems such as drones or self-driving robots in mind.
The third field in conjunction with various cooperation partners is new mobility concepts for the on-demand transportation of goods and people (mobility@vans). In future these intelligent mobility concepts could supplement public transit by making fast, efficient and individual transport of passengers possible during peak and off-peak hours via ridesharing concepts.
In the future, the intelligent networking of technologies can also make the transportation of goods more efficient and considerably improve transport on the last mile. In this pioneering field Mercedes-Benz Vans is also working on innovative leasing, rental and sharing models, which are completely tailored to the needs of van customers.
In order to make new approaches market-ready, the company is investing in several innovative start-ups in the areas of automation, robotics and mobility services as a first step.
One of these companies is Matternet, a US-based developer of autonomous drone logistics systems. Together with Matternet, Mercedes-Benz Vans worked on the Vision Van show car, the first integrated delivery system that automates last-mile delivery. The new system, which combines van and drone logistics, is a more efficient, faster and a more economical way for people to receive goods on-demand.

Tampines Expressway (TPE) runs from the junction of Seletar Expressway (SLE) and Central Expressway (CTE) at Yio Chu Kang in the north to the Pan-Island Expressway (PIE) at Changi in the east. Built at a cost of S$120 million, construction of the 14.4 km expressway was completed in 1996.1 It is an important link between the new towns of Pasir Ris, Tampines, Punggol and Seletar.2
The project to link the north and east of Singapore with an expressway came about with the construction of the first HDB housing project in Tampines in 1979. Until then Tampines had been a predominantly barren, sparsely-populated rural wasteland, with an occasional fruit plantation and a squatter settlement. The establishment of the Tampines New Town changed the landscape there.3 Concurrent to the development of housing and industrial estates, the government embarked on a 20-year expressway masterplan in the 1980s. The construction of the Tampines Expressway (TPE), which took place in three phases, commenced in the 1980s.4
In the first phase, a 4 km road between PIE to Elias Road was laid. The dual three-lane expressway was opened for use in 1987.5 In the second phase the road between Elias Road and Lorong Halus, in the north of Paya Lebar, was laid and opened in June 1989.6 This stretch of the expressway, from PIE to Lorong Halus, gave easy access to Changi Airport for motorists from Hougang, Serangoon and Tampines.7 The third and final phase in the construction of the TPE involved the laying of a 9 km road to connect the expressway from Lorong Halus to the Seletar Expressway (SLE) at its junction with Central Expressway (CTE). This entailed the construction of four major road links, two vehicular bridges over Sungei Serangoon and Sungei Punggol. Torie Construction, a local company, bagged the contract for the construction of the road link between TPE and SLE in 1993 for $25.45 million.8 In addition, the Punggol Flyover, which links the TPE to Punggol Road, was also constructed at a cost of S$13.2 million.9 Work in 1992 and six contracts were awarded for this phase. Most of the construction of the third phase was completed by 1995 but it was not opened to motorists until August 1996 when a S$39 million interchange was completed at Lorong Halus. This interchange was built over the site of a dumping ground, the Lorong Halus landfill.10
In 1998, two new viaducts and a loop connecting TPE and PIE were constructed at a cost of S$29.23 million to shorten the distance for motorists travelling from Pasir Ris and Tampines to Changi Airport. This new connection was inaugurated on 21 August 1998 by Parliament Secretary (Communications) Yaacob Ibrahim.11 Towards the end of 1998, construction of a S$800,000 overhead bridge across TPE began. This bridge was to link the residents of Pasir Ris South with the rest of Pasir Ris, which were on opposite sides of the expressway. Construction of the overhead bridge, which extends from Pasir Ris Loyang Neighbourhood 1 to the Pasir Ris Neighbourhood 4 was completed in 1999.12 In 2002, construction of the new Kallang-Paya Lebar Expressway, which links the ECP to TPE, commenced. Costing S$1.8 billion and opened in 2008, the 12 km expressway is the longest underground expressway in Southeast Asia.13
The TPE begins at the junction of the CTE at Yio Chu Kang. It joins Jalan Kayu at Jalan Kayu Flyover (Exit 12), Seletar Link at Seletar Link interchange (Exit 11), Punggol Way at Punggol West flyover (Exit 10), Punggol Road at Punggol flyover (Exit 9), Lorong Halus (Exit 7), Pasir Ris Drive 12 at Api Api flyover (Exit 5), Elias Road (Exit 4), Pasir Ris Drive 8 at Pasir Ris flyover (Exit 3C), Loyang Ave at Loyang flyover (Exit 2), Upper Changi Road and the PIE at Upper Changi Flyover (Exit 1).14
The stretch of the expressway between SLE and Lorong Halus is a scenic drive with lush trees, picturesque views of mangrove swamps and beautiful farmland on its either side.15

The fpkmheatmap() function provides users with a robust method to generate a FPKM heatmap plot of the highly variable features in RNA-Seq dataset. It takes an FPKM numeric matrix which can be obtained using fpkm() function as input. By default using Pearson correlation - 1 to measure the distance between features, and Spearman correlation -1 for clustering of samples. By default log10 transformation of (FPKM+1) is applied to make variation similar across orders of magnitude. It uses the var() function to identify the highly variable features. It then uses Heatmap() function from the 'ComplexHeatmap' package to generate a heatmap plot.

The life stories of
HERBERT & LOU HOOVER RICHARD & PAT NIXON
William and Sue Wills are a rare couple - they have made a living at theater for 4 decades while raising a family. Their greatest joy were the years when all three of their children - Dan, Jennifer and Rebecca - worked beside them on stage. They have really had two careers. The first was operating a theater company in Ocean City , Md for 20 years producing their own written musicals for children and their families and also the typical summer theater Broadway fare. Then for what has been 24 years, they created and performed
" Presidents and Their First Ladies, dramatically speaking" showcasing the life stories of 35 American Presidents and their wives who were First Ladies. Together they have appeared together on stage over 9,000 times.
They know how blessed they were that their son came home from war in one piece and their prayers go out every day for those soldiers and families whose lives have been changed forever.
Now once a year they produce a special presentation featuring various Presidents and their Wives to raise money for other 501 c 3 organizations that specifically help wound soldiers and the their families. To date, they have raised over $18,000.

Both have problematic Presidential legacies: Hoover, the Depression and Nixon, resignation from office. Yet each won electoral college landslides 83% and 96% respectively. Their life stories with their wives are ones of great interest and include many facts that will surprise you. Regarding Lou and Pat when you hear of their courage you will wonder why they are not more praised.

The Memphis Brooks Museum of Art in Tennessee has tapped the Pritzker Prize–winning firm Herzog & de Meuron to design its new $105 million building overlooking the Mississippi River in downtown Memphis. The institution will be a short walk from the National Civil Rights Museum and the Cotton Museum, among other cultural institutions.
"We have selected Herzog & de Meuron to partner with us because we respect their design philosophy: each project design evolves from a different and fitting formal response to the site and is then realized with unrivaled sensitivity to materials and craftsmanship," said executive director Emily Ballew Neff. "We're embarking on a journey to create a landmark that will have enormous impact."
The new 112,000-square-foot institution will be 25 percent larger than the existing museum and will feature classrooms, a theater, a dining facility, and a museum store, as well as a sculpture garden. The collections storage and art handling areas will also be doubled, and the facility will have a large subterranean parking garage. The museum plans to unveil the design in early 2020 and expects the building to open to the public sometime in 2024.
The project is part of a larger redevelopment initiative to connect six miles of parks, civic structures, and recreational areas along the Memphis riverfront. Memphis Mayor Jim Strickland said: "The Brooks's new location is an economic stimulus for the city and region that will boost private development and job creation—we've seen it happen in other cities. For the first time in decades Memphis is restoring its connection to the Mississippi River waterfront and the public promenade our founders envisioned there. In our bicentennial year, we are again embracing the Mississippi River as our greatest asset."

The Centre for Research in Astrophysics of Quebec (CRAQ) welcomes three new professors. Hsin Cynthia Chang, Adrian Liu and Jonathan Sievers joined the astrophysics group at McGill University, in August 2018.
Hsin Cynthia Chiang is an Associate Professor. She holds a bachelor's degree in physics from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (2002) and a doctorate from Caltech (2009). She was a Dicke Postdoctoral Fellow at Princeton University. She also spent a year working at Amundsen-Scott South Pole station as a winter scientist. From 2013 to 2018, she was a senior lecturer at the University of KwaZulu-Natal in Durban, South Africa.
Her research focuses on observational cosmology, more specifically high-precision measurements of the redshifted 21-cm emission from neutral hydrogen and the temperature and polarization anisotropies of the cosmic microwave background radiation. She is also interested in the development of instruments and data analysis spanning ground-, balloon- and satellite-based platforms.
Adrian Liu is an Assistant Professor. He obtained a bachelor's degree in physics from Princeton University in 2006 and completed a doctorate at MIT in 2012. From 2012 to 2018, he completed a first postdoctoral fellowship as a BCCP Fellow at UC Berkeley and a second as a Hubble Fellow at the same institution.
Adrian Liu's research is focused on making the largest-ever three-dimensional map of our Universe. He concentrates on the period when the first stars and galaxies formed, the Cosmic Dawn, when matter condensed into first-generation stars and galaxies. This is done by mapping the distribution of neutral hydrogen atoms, since it is ubiquitous in space and conveniently emits faint radio waves. Therefore, observations with large radio telescopes enable the construction of such a map.
Jonathan Sievers is an Assistant Professor. He graduated from MIT in 1997 with bachelor's degrees in Physics and Math and a minor in Music. He then went on to earn a PhD in Astronomy from Caltech. After a postdoctoral fellowship at the Canadian Institute of Theoretical Astrophysics, he spent two years as an associate research scholar at Princeton University. Between 2013 and 2018, Sievers has been a Research Professor at the University of KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa, where he led the creation of a massive telescope array, known as HIRAX. The aim of this 25-institution, international collaboration is to map the sky of the Southern Hemisphere in much the same way that CHIME is mapping the northern sky.
The arrival of Jonathan Sievers at McGill, as Canada-150 Chair in Theoretical and Observational Cosmology, will cement existing collaborations between CHIME and HIRAX scientists. Professor Sievers is considered a leader in the study of galaxy clusters – vast clumps of galaxies bound together by gravity. He was also one of the lead authors on a landmark 2015 Nature paper on the recently discovered and mysterious cosmic phenomenon known as fast radio bursts (FRBs).

Home » Politics » Democrats Draw Closer to a Dicey Question: Whether to Impeach Trump
WASHINGTON — House Democrats, facing some of the most striking evidence yet from Robert S. Mueller III that President Trump attempted to thwart his investigation, edged closer on Thursday to confronting a question they have long tried to avoid: whether the president's behavior warrants impeachment.
Although the more than 400-page report made public on Thursday found "insufficient evidence" to conclude that Mr. Trump conspired in Russia's interference in the 2016 election and cited legal and factual constraints preventing Mr. Mueller from charging Mr. Trump with obstruction of justice, the special counsel presented months of damning presidential behavior that Democrats said left it up to Congress to review.
"The conclusion that Congress may apply the obstruction laws to the president's corrupt exercise of the powers of office accords with our constitutional system of checks and balances and the principle that no person is above the law," Mr. Mueller wrote in the report.
House Democrats, in particular, took that legal analysis as a clear nod that Congress should take the next step to make its own judgment, although Republicans disagreed with that view.
The question is how Democrats will proceed.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her lieutenants are keenly aware of the risks of initiating an impeachment inquiry. They are intent on not repeating what they view as the mistakes made by Republicans who undertook a partisan impeachment of President Bill Clinton in the late 1990s and failed to get him removed from office by the Senate. Both parties at the time believed the effort bolstered Mr. Clinton's national standing and hurt Republicans at the polls.
In this case, even if the House did muster the votes to impeach Mr. Trump, 20 Republicans in the Senate would have to join all Democrats to actually remove Mr. Trump from office.
Read the Mueller Report: Searchable Document
The findings from the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, are now available to the public. The redacted report details his two-year investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.
Looking at those numbers, the president's looming re-election campaign and his firm support within his party, Ms. Pelosi has repeatedly tried to throw cold water on the idea of impeachment. Better to beat Mr. Trump on the merits in 2020, she has argued, than risk a failed impeachment that energizes his core supporters.
Representative Adam B. Schiff of California, the chairman of the Intelligence Committee and a close ally of Ms. Pelosi, echoed some of those points on Thursday. "Many of us do think the president is unfit for office, but unless that's a bipartisan conclusion, an impeachment would be doomed to failure," he said on CNN. "I continue to think that a failed impeachment is not in the national interest, and so we'll see what's been redacted from this report. We'll continue to do our own work."
In that case, Democrats would be able to draw questions about the president's behavior out for months, if not longer, keeping a cloud over Mr. Trump as he runs for re-election. Several House committees have already opened broad investigations into Russian election interference, obstruction of justice and abuse of power. Those inquiries can easily funnel in Mr. Mueller's findings, and serve as a release valve on calls for Mr. Trump's removal.
Still, Ms. Pelosi and her allies also run risks in not moving toward impeachment. Voices on the Democrats' left flank appear to have been emboldened by Mr. Mueller's report, and will remind party leaders that letting Mr. Trump entirely off the hook for behavior they believe threatens the separation of powers sets a dangerous precedent for the country.
Representative Maxine Waters, Democrat of California and the leader of the Financial Services Committee, broke with party leaders on Thursday, saying Congress would be abdicating its responsibility if it does not attempt to remove Mr. Trump.
"At this point, Congress's failure to impeach is complacency in the face of the erosion of our democracy and constitutional norms," Ms. Waters said. "Congress's failure to impeach would set a dangerous precedent and imperil the nation as it would vest too much power in the executive branch and embolden future officeholders to further debase the U.S. presidency, if that's even possible."
Other Democrats did their best to avoid any judgments on impeachment on Thursday and instead focused their attention on the actions of Attorney General William P. Barr and an immediate fight over access to Mr. Mueller's full findings. At least one chairman, whose committee would lead any impeachment proceedings, pointedly refused to say whether he viewed the actions laid out by Mr. Mueller as worthy of opening such an inquiry, though he did not foreclose the possibility.
"It is too early to talk about that," Representative Jerrold Nadler, Democrat of New York and the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, told reporters. "We will have to go follow the evidence where it leads. And I don't know exactly where it will lead."
Mr. Nadler said he would issue a subpoena as soon as possible to try to compel Mr. Barr to hand over an unredacted version of the special counsel's report and underlying evidence, which he asserted was "written with the intent of providing Congress a road map" for further scrutiny. Mr. Nadler and another Democratic chairman also extended formal invitations to Mr. Mueller to testify before Congress in the coming weeks after they grill Mr. Barr himself.
"The special counsel made clear that he did not exonerate the president, and the responsibility now falls to Congress to hold the president accountable for his actions," he said.
Far from signaling an interest in assisting them, Republicans quickly sought to paint Democrats as in denial about the investigation's true conclusions. Scattered across the country for Congress's spring recess, Republican lawmakers sidestepped the specific behavior — including Mr. Trump's repeated efforts in 2017 to fire Mr. Mueller — documented by the special counsel. They instead embraced statements by Mr. Barr that Mr. Trump's actions did not amount to obstruction of justice in a legal sense and that his campaign had been cleared of suspicions that they colluded with Russia to subvert the 2016 election.
"It is time to move on," said Representative Kevin McCarthy of California, the Republican leader in the House. "Americans deserve better than this partisan quest to vilify a political opponent, and I urge our Democratic colleagues in the House to put their emotions and opinions aside, and instead use that passion to come to the table and work on real solutions for all Americans."
The Republican National Committee circulated talking points to party associates calling the report "a total vindication" of Mr. Trump and his campaign, brushing past page after page of untoward behavior while declaring that "it's time for the investigators to be investigated."
The disparate conclusions on Capitol Hill were fueled by the gap between public statements by Mr. Barr that cleared the president and the findings in Mr. Mueller's report.
Democrats seized on that gap, pummeling Mr. Barr, who they said "deliberately distorted significant portions" of the report, which they believe has warped public understanding of what occurred.
"Special Counsel Mueller's report paints a disturbing picture of a president who has been weaving a web of deceit, lies and improper behavior and acting as if the law doesn't apply to him," said Ms. Pelosi and Senator Chuck Schumer of New York, the Democratic Senate leader. "But if you hadn't read the report and listened only to Mr. Barr, you wouldn't have known any of that because Mr. Barr has been so misleading."

Devotion: the true story behind a film about the navy's first Black aviator
Andrew Lawrence
# Action and adventure films
# Drama films
The action drama tells the story of Jesse Brown, a groundbreaking fighter pilot who chose to fight in the Korean war
Jesse Brown was the original top gun – a navy fighter pilot whose heroism in the Korean war earned him the Distinguished Flying Cross, the loftiest award the US military pins on high fliers. That he was also the first Black pilot to pass navy flight training puts him in rarified air.

Brown, 24, never made it home. While supporting UN ground forces engaged in the Battle of the Chosin Reservoir in December 1950, Brown suffered artillery damage to his F4U Corsair aircraft and crash-landed in a remote mountain valley. When his wingman, Tom Hudner, saw Brown struggling to come unpinned from his cockpit afterward, he defied orders and intentionally crash-landed his plane nearby to help Brown. But in the end Hudner, after calming a fire on Brown's plane and hacking away at his cockpit with an ax for 45 minutes in the subzero weather, couldn't free Brown from his aircraft, was ordered into a rescue helicopter before night fell (and visibility with it). Brown lost consciousness shortly thereafter; two days later, a squadron returned to pepper the crash site with napalm to keep Brown's body and aircraft from falling into enemy hands. Hudner was left physically and emotionally bruised.
For his valor Hudner received the Medal of Honor, the US military's most exalted decoration, from President Truman on the White House lawn in April 1951 – with Brown's widow, Daisy, just behind them. "Had I been on the ground, I think I would've had enough faith in my shipmates for somebody to do something," Hudner said before his death in 2017. "I felt, yes, there was a chance that I wouldn't. But to save Jesse's life was worth it."
The story of that doomed deployment and the unlikely friendship it sparked is at the center of Devotion – a new theatrical release starring Jonathan Majors and Glen Powell. The film is based on a 2015 biography by Adam Makos, who eventually became close friends with Hudner. "He really had intentions of going back that night even, or the next day," Makos says. "He wasn't ready to face the reality that Jesse was really gone."
Even though it's full of grand action sequences and wrestles with heavy ideas like duty and race at a time in American history when the parameters for both couldn't have been more distinct, Devotion wasn't necessarily a lock to make it to the big screen. For as much as Hollywood loves a meaty combat flick, it treats the Korean war like a middle child relative to the second world war and Vietnam. Which is to say it's often referenced, but largely ignored. "The last great Korean war movie, by my count, was Pork Chop Hill starring Gregory Peck – and that was in 1959," Makos notes.
It's called The Forgotten War even though it was the first UN war and so many American icons took part – from baseball hit king Ted Williams to Neil Armstrong to Marilyn Monroe. "The Korean war just faded, I think, because back then America didn't want another war," Makos says. "It was a cold, mysterious and faraway place. We were tired. It was time to move on." When John Wayne tried to produce a movie about the Battle of Outpost Vegas, a late-stage counter-attack in which nearly every participating marine was captured or killed, the US Marine Corps – skeptical of the defeatist slant, with the working title: Giveaway Hill – nixed the project, fearing it might give a PR win to the communists. It took Powell expressing an interest in playing Hudner and producing the film as well for Devotion to really take flight. He too became close with Hudner; he and Rachel Smith, Brown's granddaughter, were present for the navy pilot's burial at Arlington National Cemetery.
The first frames of Devotion unfold less like Sands of Iwo Jima than Top Gun as navy warbirds take flight over the Atlantic, the present-day South Carolina-Georgia coast standing in for 1950s Rhode Island. Where Top Gun makes aircraft carrier landings look routine, Devotion tarries in the too-real tension when it's not underscoring the balletic majesty of formation flight.

Even Majors (as Brown) wrestling with the blindspots on his Corsair fighter plane called to mind the recent air show in Dallas where six people died after a P-63 Kingcobra prop fighter collided with a B-17 bomber in midair. "The P-63 pilot might've lost that B-17 in his view for half a minute, and that was enough," says Makos, who was friendly with some of the Texas Raiders who operated the B-17 and had been in discussions with them about using the plane for another film adaptation. "When I see planes flying in tight formation in the movie, I just take it for granted. Even flying through the open air without an enemy in sight requires incredible trust to let another man be on your wing 10 feet away with the ability to, in one wrong move, cut your plane in half and drop you out of the sky. That's why the trust between these pilots is such a powerful statement."
Makos, 41, has always been a military buff. Growing up in eastern Pennsylvania, he was captive audience for two grandfathers who served – one in the marines, the other in the army air forces on a B-17 in the Pacific that touched down in Japan after the bomb dropped. He started publishing articles on military history at 15. Just before his high school French club planned a trip to Paris, Makos bailed at the last minute to go to Disney World with his family instead. That plane to Paris, TWA flight 800, wound up crashing off Long Island in the third deadliest aviation accident in US history.
Survivor's guilt has made him an even more sympathetic ear. "Having that near-miss with death at the end of my freshman year of high school really revealed to me the depth of the sacrifice that military members are willing to make," he says. "Jesse Brown never had to go to the Korean war. He was already the first Black navy carrier pilot. He could've been the first Black airline pilot. But instead, he went. My own experience showed just how precious life is and how heavy that choice must've been for Jesse."

Even as Hudner neared the end of his own life, he still thought he could bring Brown back home. In 2013, when Hudner was 88, Makos organized a trip to North Korea – Hudner's only time back since the war. They spent 10 days with the North Korean military and even plotted a mission to return to the Chosin Reservoir to search for Brown's remains. "We didn't know if we would find the wreckage of an airplane," says Makos. "We didn't know if we'd find a gravesite. We didn't know if we'd find villagers living nearby. But somebody had to go there and just start asking those questions."
But then just as they were about to set off, the search mission was scuttled by monsoon rains that hung up the North Korean military's advance team. But it wasn't all for naught. "Thank you for coming so far after so long to keep a promise to a friend," Kim Jong-un said in a proclamation to Hudner. "I pledge that the military of the Korean People's army will pick up the search from here and try to find your friend."
After Devotion, the Korean war can no longer be called forgotten. If anything, the past is prologue. "It's actually the most relevant war to our modern times," Makos says. "You've got North Korea saber-rattling all the time with the South. You've got Russia trying to rebuild their cold war empire. You've got China threatening Taiwan on a weekly basis. We're living the Korean war all over again. We're in the preamble to it."
Devotion is out in US cinemas now and in the UK in 2023 with an Australia release date to be confirmed
