The 7 biggest differences between Stephen King's IT and its movie remake
Screencap via ScreenJunkies News/YouTube
A roundup of some of the key differences between Stephen King's 'IT' and its new movie adaptation.
by Noma Nazish (article) and Parasshuram Shalgar (video)
17 September 2017 at 00:24 17 September 2017 at 00:24
Warning: Spoilers aplenty for both IT movie and Stephen King's novel.
After months of eager anticipation, the latest adaptation of Stephen King's IT finally hit screens on September 8 and it didn't disappoint. The movie manages to capture the tone and spirit of King's 1986 opus. However, condensing a novel sitting around 1,100 pages into a movie that clocks in at two hours and 15 minutes are always going to be a Herculean task. So it comes as no surprise that there are quite a few deviations and omissions in the Andy Muschietti movie.
Here are some of the major differences between IT (2017) movie and King's bestseller of the same name:
The Time Period
In the Stephen King classic, The Losers' Club encounter their fears for the first time between 1957 and 1958.
Whereas in IT movie, the story takes place in the late 1980s in order to make it more relatable to present day audience.
Moreover, this shift in The Time period means that the movie's sequel IT: Chapter 2 will take place in the modern day.
The story of Mike Hanlon has been tweaked the most when it comes to The Losers' Club members. The book notes that Mike's parents are actually alive. In fact, the book also mentions that Mike's dad has a rivalry with Butch, Henry Bowers' father, which is why Henry despises Mike so much.
On the other hand, the film adaptation shows that Mike's parents died in a fire mishap and now he works for his grandfather on the Hanlon family farm, reluctantly killing sheep with a bolt-gun.
The Infamous Orgy Scene
In the novel, after defeating IT, the kids get lost in the sewer tunnels on their way out. In order to find their way back, Beverly suggests that the each of the boys should have sex with her. What follows is a ten-page detailed account of each boy of the gang losing their virginity and entering manhood, through Beverly.
Once all of them had sex, one of the boys immediately remembers the way out and the kids finally escape.
However, in the movie, the gang manages to safely get outside the sewer system without getting lost; and it's not hard to figure out why the moviemakers decided to leave out the entire scene.
In 2013, Stephen King had released a statement through his fan site regarding the controversial scene. "I wasn't really thinking of the sexual aspect of it… The sexual act connected childhood and adulthood.
It's another version of the glass tunnel that connects the children's library and the adult library," he writes on stephenking.com.
"Times have changed since I wrote that scene and there is now more sensitivity to those issues," he adds.
Beverly Marsh
The book portrays Beverly as Bill, Eddie, Richie and Stan's close friend since childhood - so the boys don't go weak in the knees when she's around. The only guy who is head over heels in love with Bev in the story is Ben. On the other hand, the movie shows a love triangle between Bill, Beverley and Ben.
Also, the film adaptation shows that Pennywise abducts Beverley. However, in the novel, Bev remains with the group throughout the story, even after Henry chases them into the sewer.
The climax of the film is "prompted by IT capturing Beverly and taking her to its lair.
From there, it's a classic tale of a damsel in distress," states a Vulture.com report.
"The boys eventually get her down… And just as in Sleeping Beauty, Ben kisses her and she awakens. She exists first and foremost as an object of their desire," it adds.
Patrick Hockstetter
While the movie shows Patrick's character as a generic bully who is one of the earliest victims of IT, the boy's character is more fleshed out in King's novel. He is portrayed as a psychopath serial killer who kills animals by stuffing them in a discarded refrigerator at the dump. The book also mentions that he keeps a creepy collection of dead flies in his pencil case.
IT's Final Manifestation
IT or Pennywise the dancing clown is a shape-shifting entity that exists outside our universe.
The malevolent creature's actual form is nothing but a mass of evil lights — known as "the deadlights"
In the movie, the children meet Pennywise once they reach the lair in the sewer system. While in the novel, the children have an encounter with a grisly spider, upon reaching the lair. The arachnid is the closest manifestation of IT's real form possible in the human world.
"Chances are the script-writers are saving this reveal for the second film, which is why they stuck with the clown form for now," says Mashable.
Henry Bowers' Fate
Henry Bower appears to die in the film when Mike pushes him down a well after a fight. However, Bower's character doesn't die in King's novel. In fact, he reaches adulthood and is locked up in a mental asylum after he's blamed for all the child murders committed by IT.
Since Henry's character is pivotal to the second part of the story, it's possible that he survived the fall after all and might make a comeback in IT: Chapter Two.

Residual Lives
Hyde Park Art Center > Exhibitions > Residual Lives
Residual Lives features new and recent work by a selection of US-based artists Tyanna Buie, Tirtza Even, Carlos Javier Ortiz, Jenny Polak, Emmanuel Pratt, and the Portraits of Resolution Project by William Estrada, Erica Brooks, and Anthony Rea. The thought-provoking and personal work by these contemporary artists highlight topics of violence, immigration, human rights, and community responsibility in relation to America's growing detention system.
January 31, 2016 – April 24, 2016
Jenny Polak, (n)IMBY, 2012, Ink on paper 8 x 11 inches. Project commemorating the alliance of citizens and non-citizens who successfully fought to block the building of a new private detention center by Corrections Corporation of America in Crete IL.
Tyanna Buie, Tirtza Even, Carlos Javier Ortiz, Jenny Polak, The Portraits of Resolution Project (William Estrada, Erica Brooks, and Anthony Rea), and Emmanuel Pratt.
The US has the highest incarceration rate in the world. Currently, more than 2.2 million people are imprisoned, with an additional 400,000 in immigration custody and 55,000 juveniles growing up in detention facilities. Residual Lives presents a selection of photography, installation, video, and collage by artists who focus on the personal narratives developed and altered through the growing business of incarceration in America. What does detention look like from the outside – on neighborhood streets, in friends' homes, across a mother's face? By giving the topic a closer study through the works of these artists, we see the power of communities that struggle with, challenge, and amend the system.
Artists included in the exhibition have demonstrated a commitment in their practice to addressing the personal space of the free individual(s) located between incarceration and community. We inhabit that space too and the artwork on view points to what we might miss happening around us, while provoking us to reconsider our civic responsibility. The work selected for this show present the various viewpoints from mugshots of the artists' family members in Tyanna Buie's large works on paper, to the artist-as-collaborator and documentarian of addressing the struggles of family members neighbors and victims in the black and white photography by Carlos Javier Ortiz and the video installation and archive by Tirtza Even.
Optimism for resolving the great incarceration epidemic in America exists in the exhibition too through the artists making work to support and empower those individuals who change the system bit by bit everyday. Jenny Polak celebrates the victories of the many citizens in small Midwest towns fighting against for-profit detention centers moving into their town. Her 3D printed souvenirs and ink paintings memorialize the protests and the public hearings vital to their process. The Portraits of Resolution by William Estrada, Erica Brooks, and Anthony Rea highlight portraiture's ability to be a tool for reclaiming self-representation and agency to voice frustration and determination to break the cycle. The garden/game oasis created by Emmanuel Pratt and the Sweet Water Foundation Team display the products of the community-based training Apprenticeship and Outreach Program (AOP) that provides youth in at-risk areas a trade, purpose, and a network of mentors (sometimes ex-cons) to ensure these young people do not enter the incarceration system to start.
The polemical space detention centers create in the community are explored through the variety of work presented in Residual Lives. The exhibition complements the prints and paintings by incarcerated artists on view in The Weight of Rage, a concurrent exhibition presented in the Kanter McCormick Gallery. By combining work by artists who focus on immigration detention centers, juvenile detention centers and correctional facilities, the exhibition invites us to consider our culture of confinement as a whole and our residual role in it. Residual Lives is curated by Allison Peters Quinn, Director of Exhibitions & Residency Programs.

(NaturalNews) A new study has found that a special blend of sesame and rice bran oils have the potential to lower high blood pressure and cholesterol naturally, providing healthcare professionals and patients alike with a natural, non-medicinal option for treating conditions that could become life-threatening.
Recent reports said the study involved 300 people in New Delhi, India, who had high blood pressure, known as hypertension. During trials, one-third of the study's participants were given a common drug called nifedipine, another third took an ounce of a specially made blend of sesame and rice brand oils to use in cooking every day, and the last third took the drug and cooked with the blended oils. All three control groups were treated for 60 days.
In the end, researchers found that all three groups, including the one not taking the medication, had decreased their blood pressure levels.
Those who took the drug and used the oil blend had a greater decrease in their blood pressure levels, with the systolic (top number) pressure falling an average of 16 points among those who just took the drug, while decreasing an average of 14 points for those who just cooked with the oil.
For those who used both, the average decrease was 36 points.
At the same time, the diastolic (bottom number) pressure - which is often considered to be the more dangerous of the two because that number represents your heart at rest - fell by an average of 12 points among those who just took nifedipine, and 11 points, on average, for those who just cooked with the oils. For those who used both, the average decline was 24 points.
In addition, the oil blend appeared to make a positive difference in cholesterol levels.
Researchers discovered that participants who cooked with the blend of oils had, on average, 26 percent lower "bad" cholesterol levels, while "good" levels rose about 9.5 percent by the end of the two-month study period.
Meanwhile, those who cooked with the blend and took the blood pressure medication as well had an average of 27 percent lower levels of bad cholesterol and 10.9 percent higher levels of good cholesterol.
People who did not cook with the oils; however, experienced no cholesterol benefit.
"Rice bran oil, like sesame oil, is low in saturated fat and appears to improve a patient's cholesterol profile," study researcher Dr. Devarajan Sankar, M.D, Ph.D., a research scientist at Fukuoka University Chikushi Hospital in Japan, said in a statement. "Additionally, it may reduce heart disease risk in other ways, including being a substitute for less healthy oils and fats in the diet."
Healthier fatty acids and antioxidants, such as sesamin, sesamol, sesamolin and oryzanol, in the oil blends may be responsible for the results, Sankar said.
"These antioxidants, mono and poly unsaturated oils are compounds found in plants and have been linked with lower blood pressure and total cholesterol in earlier studies," said an American Heart Association statement. "Additional studies are needed to determine if the oil blend is as beneficial as it seems."
Sankar noted this particular blend of oils was tailor-made for those participating in the study, and that people should not think that making their own rice-bran and sesame-oil blend will produce similar effects. Nevertheless, the findings are important, researchers say, because they have the potential to influence future, non-drug options for treatment of hypertension and high cholesterol levels, both factors that increase risk of heart disease and other cardiovascular problems.
The results of the study were presented at the American Heart Association's "High Blood Pressure Research 2012 Scientific Sessions," and, so far, has yet to be published in any peer-reviewed journal. For that reason, researchers noted that their results should be considered preliminary.
The oils were donated by Adani Wilmar Limited in India, but no outside funding for the study was received by the research team.

Have you heard of TrueNorth? It's the recently unveiled smart chip from IBM that contains 5.4 billion transistors and uses only 70 milliwatts of power, according to a recent article from Inc. As a comparison, the modern Intel processor contains 1.4 billion transistors and draws more than 140 watts. But it's not just the power-saving features of the chip that make it poised for great things. It's what the chip can do.
The idea for TrueNorth was first pondered six years ago and IBM and university researchers intended for it to mimic human biology, the article stated. Like a brain, the chip works by way of interconnected transmitters. It's able to group data by patterns and identify when something is out of place.
Potential practical uses for the technology include alerting stores when something or someone is out of place, or in a hospital environment by sensing odors from certain bacteria. The chip may also be used in sensors on buoys, able to alert lifeguards when someone swims too far out to sea. The technology could scan credit applications, looking for red flags, and it could be used in self-driven cars to sense traffic.
The small amount of wattage used has the potential to create a more efficient cloud, the article notes, which would dramatically decrease the amount of power and cooling required at data centers.
It will be exciting to see what the world will do with this invention and how it will help us all. In the meantime, for solid infrastructure and dependable support at a highly advanced and secure data center, Global IP Networks is here. For more information, contact us.

Mike Pecina's Club Monte Cristo to Reemerge on Seventh Street
The longtime gothic nightclub shuttered its doors in 2017…but now it's back from the dead and ready to bring the darkness
Post By: Amanda Peukert
Photo: Official | Monte Cristo
Club Monte Cristo — which once resided at 659 S Westmoreland Ave in LA — will re-open at 2228 W 7th St Los Angeles, CA 90057, according to Founder Mike Pecina.
Before closing in 2017, Monte Cristo served as an immersive nightclub for nearly two decades. The gothic atmosphere was steeped in deep reds, candle wax, overstuffed chairs — perhaps occupied by the unseen — human skull replicas, and ornate mirrors.
Handfuls of events took place at the hotspot during its 19 years in operation, and Pecina's dark palace became known for its heavy pour, reasonable prices, and intriguingly unnerving environment.
Pecina told What Now LA he hopes to open his Addams Family-esque mansion as soon as possible.
What's more, the industry vet says the three-story building set to house the new Monte Cristo is, in fact, haunted as Pecina often hears footsteps overhead and claims a famous murder happened within its walls.

Participants underlined the importance and urgency of ratifying the Hong Kong International Convention for the Safe and Environmentally Sound Recycling of Ships adopted in 2009.
Shipbreaking sector unions reported that despite progress in forming unions, workers continue to face dangerous working conditions, low wages, precarious work and an unfavorable environment to exercise workers' rights. They urged government of Bangladesh to expedite the process to ratify the Hong Kong Convention.
Representatives of the Bangladesh Ship Breakers and Recyclers Association emphasized that gradual improvements are being made towards sustainable recycling of ships and improvements in working conditions.
The tripartite meeting committed to the campaign for the ratification of the Hong Kong Convention, as well as effective social dialogue for the betterment of workers and industry.
Participants agreed on the importance of improving government vigilance of yards to prevent workplace injury and death. Appropriate safety training should also be given to workers, as well as personal protective equipment, which they should be encouraged to use. All parties, which included the government, employers, and IndustriALL affiliated unions, committed to intensifying efforts towards a sustainable shipbreaking sector in Bangladesh.


From the ashes of First World War destruction rose many international bodies seeking to regulate future disputes in a civilized way.
Some have endured the test of time. One of these is the International Court of Arbitration whose president, Alexis Mourre, recently paid a visit to Tehran.
The last time ICC executives visited Iran was in 2007.
"This is the first time I visit Iran as the president of ICA and I hope these relations will continue," our sister publication Donya-e-Eqtesad quoted Mourre as saying.
The International Chamber of Commerce, which manages ICA, was created with the belief that strengthening commercial ties among nations is not only good for business, but also good for global living standards and peace.
With the advent of sanctions relief, Iran is renewing its cooperation with international bodies for a swift economic recovery. The ICC is one of these key organizations, which sets up rules, resolves disputes and advocates policy.
ICA is the world's leading body for the resolution of international commercial disputes by arbitration. The court comprises more than 100 members from about 90 countries. ICA has handled more than 500 cases a year since 1999.
"ICC did not sever contact with Iran during the sanctions era and relations with the body were stable. So we believe ICC and ICA should be more active in Iran," said Mourre.
The Paris-based organization wants Iran to accept ICA arbitration and implement it into contracts signed by Iranian businesses.
ICC Arbitration is a private procedure that leads to a binding and enforceable decision. So in the event that a deal goes sour, judgment and mediation will be left to ICA whose verdict is handed to local authorities of both countries for implementation.
"Iran has always wanted Iranian courts to process business disputes, but this is not acceptable to foreign counterparts," said secretary-general of ICC's Iran committee, Mohammad Mehdi Behkish.
However, ICA arbitrations cost more than taking recourse to Iranian courts, but are processed far quicker. Speed is an asset in the business world.
Behkish noted that the cost of arbitration depends greatly on the size of the contract.
ICC's Iranian committee has 200 members consisting of banks, petrochemical companies and steel producers.
Because its member companies and associations are engaged in international business, ICC has unrivalled authority in making rules that govern the conduct of business across borders.
Although these rules are voluntary, they are observed in countless transactions every day and have become part of international trade.
"Iran has to deregulate to open up its business environment. We can use ICC's expertise in deregulation," said Behkish.
In fact, the organization has commissions composed of business experts who examine major issues of interest to the business world. They prepare policy products, including statements to contribute to intergovernmental discussions, as well as rules and codes to facilitate international business transactions.
Eight of ICC's 12 committees are currently operating in Iran, according to Mohsen Mohebi, ICA Iran's secretary for legal affairs.
Clearly, Iran has a lot of catching up to do.
"We have not had a good situation regarding arbitration in the past decade," said Mohebi.
Implementing ICC rules and practices, along with using the organization's training courses, is a good start.

The French Revolutionary Wars
Alexander Mikaberidze
LAST REVIEWED: 19 April 2015
LAST MODIFIED: 22 April 2013
The Napoleonic Wars represent a turning point in European affairs and a major break with the past. The starting point for the Napoleonic Wars is usually considered the signing of the Peace of Amiens between France and Britain in 1802, while the end point is set in the wake of Napoleon's defeat at Waterloo and his exile from France in 1815. These wars constitute a continuation of the French Revolutionary Wars that broke out in 1792 and ranged France against shifting alliances of other European powers. The French Revolution unleashed a torrent of political, social, cultural, and military changes. Never before had European states resorted to a mobilization of civilian and military resources as total as during this period, which resulted in fundamental changes for the societies and armies in question. The French Revolutionary Wars were undertaken to defend, and then to spread, the effects of the French Revolution. Ideological aspects of the Napoleonic Wars are often emphasized as a main source of the conflict, but Europe was not divided along ideological lines. Although ideology did matter, the conflict was largely driven by geopolitical considerations that were similar to those existing during the wars waged by Louis XIV. As in the early 1700s, the rise of a powerful French state in the early 1800s threatened the balance of power in Europe and led to the creation of broad coalitions to prevent France from achieving complete dominance on the European continent. In addition, the Napoleonic Wars were influenced by a long-standing colonial and commercial rivalry between France and Britain. Under Napoleon's leadership, France emerged as the dominant continental power, extending its imperium from the Atlantic coastline of Spain to the plains of Poland. Along the way, the French armies spread revolutionary ideals to the occupied territories, prompting important changes in Europe. To defeat Napoleon, "the revolution incarnate," as the Austrian statesman Klemens Wenzel von Metternich described him, the European monarchies were compelled to adopt revolutionary reforms and utilize elements of revolutionary ideology for their own benefit. The French military strategy, army organization, and transformation of royal subjects into citizens and soldiers, the awakening of the people to a sense of their rights, and the channeling of their patriotic energies and passions against a foreign enemy—all these ideas had been formulated in France during the Revolution as it sought to survive attacks of European coalitions, but these same ideas were then borrowed by the European monarchies in their struggle against France.
The Revolutionary era is one of the most studied periods in European history, with tens of thousands of titles dealing with the French Revolution and its aftermath. Lentz 2002–2010 offers the most recent panoramic view of the rise and fall of the Napoleonic Empire. Ross 1986 is a good introduction to the diplomatic history of the era, while Schroeder 1994 is indispensable for in-depth discussion of the political transformation in Europe. Woolf 1991 offers a unique picture of how Napoleonic Europe both functioned and malfunctioned. Connelly 1966 is unique in its focus on the satellite kingdoms Napoleon created. Chickering and Förster 2010 is a collection of essays more focused on warfare in the Age of Revolutions (1775–1815), looking at both sides of the Atlantic and exploring military and social dimensions of warfare. Lynn 1984 is crucial to understanding the French Revolutionary army. Bell 2007 argues that the concept of total war did not start in the 20th century but rather in the Revolutionary era, when Europe plunged into an abyss of destruction.
Bell, David A. The First Total War: Napoleon's Europe and the Birth of Modern Warfare as We Know It. New York: Houghton Mifflin, 2007.
The book argues that the concept of total war did not start in the 20th century but rather in the Revolutionary era, when Europe plunged into an abyss of destruction. Bell suggests that our modern attitudes toward war were born during the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars, and he traces parallels between the Napoleonic Wars and the modern world.
Chickering, Roger, and Stig Förster, eds. War in an Age of Revolution, 1775–1815. New York: Cambridge University Press, 2010.
This volume is the sixth in a series of books that derive from conference proceedings dedicated to the rise and reign of total warfare from the 1860s to the 1940s. It offers a rich and stimulating collection of essays written by historians from five different countries. The essays look at both sides of the Atlantic and propose treating the Age of Revolution as one of acceleration and expansion rather than innovation in warfare.

Lentz, Thierry. Nouvelle histoire du Premier Empire. 4 vols. Paris: Fayard, 2002–2010.
A major contribution to Napoleonic scholarship, Lentz's work offers a panoramic view of the rise and fall of the Napoleonic Empire. Volume 1 traces Napoleon's conquest of Europe in 1804–1810, while Volume 2 explores its decline and downfall in 1810–1815. Volume 3 offers fascinating insights into France's relationship with European states between 1804 and 1814, while the final volume guides the reader through the Hundred Days (1815).
Lynn, John A. The Bayonets of the Republic: Motivation and Tactics in the Army of Revolutionary France, 1791–1794. Urbana: University of Illinois Press, 1984.
An important study of the Revolutionary army, Lynn's book challenges the view of the army as an unskilled but fiercely patriotic fighting force that won simply by overwhelming its enemies with its élan and its tactical charges. It examines every aspect of life in the French army, including leaders, recruitment, officer selection, discipline, political education, and tactics.
Ross, Steven T. European Diplomatic History, 1789–1815: France against Europe. Malabar, FL: Krieger, 1986.
Originally published in 1969. Despite its date, Ross's book remains one of the best studies on the diplomatic history of the Napoleonic period. Judicious and well written, it will be of good use to students.
Schroeder, Paul. The Transformation of European Politics, 1763–1848. New York: Oxford University Press, 1994.
Hailed as a landmark study upon its publication, this book delves deeply into European international politics and offers a comprehensive and authoritative history of Europe between 1763 and 1848. Considered sharply revisionist when it was published, the book offers a rather critical view of Napoleonic France and explores its impact on international relations and diplomacy. A wide-ranging and penetrating study, it will be of great utility to graduate students.
Woolf, S. Napoleon's Integration of Europe. New York: Routledge, 1991.
One of the best studies examining the relationship between France and the rest of Europe during the Napoleonic era. It is a well-written and wide-ranging work that will be of great value to students.

Mary Bayard Morgan Wootten (1875–1959) was an American photographer. She named Pepsi Cola and created its iconic logo for her neighbor Caleb Bradham, who invented the iconic drink.

Biography
Wootten was born in New Bern, North Carolina in 1875 to Mary and Rufus Morgan. Wootten attended New Bern public schools and then studied at the State Normal and Industrial College (now the University of North Carolina at Greensboro) from 1892 to 1894. After college, she briefly taught art at the Arkansas School for the Deaf and the Georgia School for the Deaf. When her husband Charles Wootten abandoned her, she returned home to New Bern to support her two sons by painting flowers on china and fine dresses. She even taxidermied animals including an American alligator which is in the Berlin Museum of natural history. She received basic instruction in photography from Edward Gerrock and Ignatius Wadsworth Brock, whom she called Nate. She opened her own photography studio in the shack next to her home on East Front Street in New Bern in 1903 borrowing several cameras and equipment from Gerrock.

BW opened a second studio in 1913 on Fort Bragg calling it The Photo Hut. Making exclusive images for the North Carolina National Guard. From this she became the first woman in the North Carolina National Guard. In 1920 she moved to Chapel Hill, where she specialized in portrait photography for the Yackety Yack, the yearbook for the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, as well as official photography for the Carolina Playmakers (now PlayMakers Repertory Company). She lived in Chapel Hill from 1928 to 1954. The theater work introduced her to the writer Thomas Wolfe, whom she photographed on many occasions.

Wootten once instructed her employee Rudy Faircloth to lower her over a cliff to make a photograph of Linville Falls, a famous natural landmark in North Carolina.

 Anthony Lilly is also a New Bern native who is Wootten's biographer and is writing a script for the motion picture about Wootten's life. Lilly is Wootten's leading expert on her life and has the largest collection of Wootten's personal belongings including letter's, thousands of her original prints, glass plates and her entire photographic studio.

Her photographs illustrated six books, including Backwoods America by Charles Morrow Wilson, 1934; Cabins in the Laurel by Muriel Sheppard, 1935; Old Homes and Gardens of North Carolina by Archibald Henderson, 1939; and From My Highest Hill by Olive Tilford Dargan, 1941. Wootten is buried in the family plot in historic Cedar Grove cemetery in New Bern NC.

Work
Wootten was the first woman to make a photograph from an airplane in 1914, in New Bern, North Carolina. Wootten was also the first woman in the National Guard, making the rank of Adjutant General and Chief of Publicity. Her uncle was North Carolina Congressman, Hap Barden. Wootten utilized Barden's power by providing images she made of a deteriorating Camp Bragg. Her images of soldiers forced to live in the poorest of conditions helped save it from closure. Today, we know it as Fort Bragg.

Wootten's photography illustrated five books during her lifetime, including Charleston: Azalias and Old Bricks,  North Carolina Homes and Gardens, and From My Highest Hill. Her images fill UNC at Chapel Hill year books and newspapers, while her larger than life pictorialist photographs line North Carolina State Government building walls and Court Houses. Anthony Lilly, a New Bern native, has written a script which is in pre-production about Wootten's incredible life. Lilly also possess the largest collection of Wootten's images, prints, Glass plates and personal belongings. He also has Wootten's entire 1904-1959 studio contents, including her first camera and all lighting. Lilly will fill the Wootten-Moulton Museum in New Bern North Carolina with these treasures. A book by Jerry Cotton titled Light and Air was a brief description in words and pictures about Wootten. Anthony Paul Lilly, a New Bern native as well, has written a feature script about Wootten's life and is also publishing a series of books with Fahey/ Klein Gallery in Beverly Hills about Wootten in conjunction with UNC at Chapel Hill.

His Wootten-Moulton Museum collection holds hundreds of family letters and business papers detailing the working relationship with Caleb Bradham. During his research he also uncovered Wootten's original concept drawings of the famous drink.

In addition to her work as a pioneering photographer and artist, Wootten was a staunch advocate for women's shelter who used her standing and reputation throughout the south to aid women's organizations including the Women's Missionary League. In 1915 she became the President of the League's publicity department, creating all official portraits.

In 1913 her portraiture became popular at Camp Bragg. Delivery of her portraits to Gregg Cherry, at the time an ordinary soldier at Camp Bragg, led to a rush of orders.

Wootten was granted permission to open a photographic studio on the base, (The Photo Hut ) and Wooten eventually received the first commission for a woman in the National Guard. Her early client, Lieutenant Cherry, became North Carolina's 61st Governor. Cherry Point air station and base was named after Cherry, as well as Cherry Hospital.

The Wootten-Moulton Studio received The Showmanship Award from The Walt Disney Company for outstanding achievements in professional photography.

Awards and exhibitions
Wootten received the North Carolina State Award for "Most Beautiful Photographs of Trees in America" from the American Forestry Association in 1934 for her photograph Live Oaks.

Her work has been exhibited at Harvard University, the Century of Progress Exposition, the Academy of Arts in Richmond, Virginia, and in numerous locations in North Carolina.

Craig Kelly: Liberated from being a Liberal, what will he do now?
Craig Kelly has been no stranger to headline writers over the past decade as he spoke out on issues ranging from Russia's involvement in the downing of flight MH17 to Donald Trump and the need for coal power. But it was his incessant Facebook posts about supposed COVID-19 treatments not backed by medical authorities and questioning of the vaccine program that brought him into conflict with the government's leadership, ultimately leading to his quitting the Liberal Party this week.
Crossbench MP Craig Kelly Credit:Alex Ellinghausen
Kelly was first elected to represent Hughes, an electorate covering suburbs and semi-rural areas on the southern and south-eastern outskirts of Sydney, in 2010. His seat neighbours Prime Minister Scott Morrison's electorate of Cook and encompasses much of the Sutherland Shire, Liverpool and the Royal National Park.
Kelly noted in his first speech to Parliament his seat was named for former prime minister Billy Hughes, who "changed parties no less than five times".

"[Labor MPs] are always welcome to come across and join us should they see the light," he said.
At the time, he'd been a member of the Liberals for less than a year. "I owe my presence here today to the democratic traditions of the Liberal Party," he said.
Since then, Kelly has been saved twice in preselection battles by prime ministerial intervention, first by Malcolm Turnbull in 2016 and again by Morrison ahead of the 2019 election. During the second preselection fight, Kelly invoked Robert Menzies as his reason for joining the Liberals and told reporters he'd assured Morrison he wouldn't defect from the party.
Despite the support from Turnbull, Kelly voted for Peter Dutton in the August 2018 leadership spill that ultimately led to Morrison becoming prime minister.
Kelly also used his first speech to raise the "unsung group of heroes" who were, like him, parents and carers of children with disabilities. His son Trent, now 24, was born with Down syndrome and autism and has no speech.
What does he do?
Kelly has risen to public prominence most notably for his opposition to climate action and support for coal-fired power. Although he declared in his first speech to Parliament "I consider myself an environmentalist", he may well be the only person who does.
In 2018 he chaired the Coalition's backbench policy committee that effectively killed off the national energy guarantee because of its aim in part to cut emissions. Around the same time, Kelly was part of the Monash Forum group of MPs actively pushing for new coal-fired power stations.
British television presenter Laura Tobin accused him on air of being a climate denier in January 2020, after he said people drawing a link between the summer's horrific bushfires and climate change were just playing politics.
He's also a prolific user of Facebook, frequently appearing in the top five in statistics of politicians with the most interactions on their posts. Or he was, until Facebook slapped him with a temporary ban last week for spreading misinformation about COVID-19. His outspokenness had caused growing agitation among Liberal colleagues, with one dubbing him the "Pete Evans in the party room" in reference to the anti-vaxxer celebrity chef. Days after this comment was reported, Kelly appeared on Evans' podcast.
Kelly has vowed to resume his social media campaign to promote unproven coronavirus treatments, despite warnings from medical experts and the Australian Medical Association.
This spruiking for alternative treatments led to Morrison reprimanding Kelly after a public clash with Labor's Tanya Plibersek in the first sitting week of the year.
But he insists he's on board with the government in urging Australians to have either the Pfizer or AstraZeneca coronavirus vaccine. "I want to make sure there's no doubt: I'm not an anti-vaxxer," he told this masthead.
What did he do this week?
On Tuesday, Kelly blindsided Morrison and his colleagues by standing up in the party room meeting of all Liberal and National MPs and announcing he was quitting to sit as an independent.
He recalled an analogy Morrison is fond of using about New Zealand's America's Cup defence where the only consideration for the team was what would make the boat go faster.
"I acknowledge that some of my conduct over recent months has not helped the boat go fast," Kelly said in his resignation statement. He had decided that in order to continue to "speak fearlessly" and act in line with his conscience and principles, he had to resign as a member of the Liberal Party.
Of course, it would have also been playing on his mind that his preselection was yet again under threat. A number of challengers had emerged, including Kent Johns, who had prepared to run against Kelly twice before.
Kelly has also been under pressure to sack his long-time adviser, Frank Zumbo, after reports about a restraining order made against him by a young woman. Morrison said Kelly had known "for many years" the Prime Minister didn't think he should be employing Zumbo.
But Kelly is standing by his man. "I would not be here without your friendship and advice," Kelly told Zumbo in Parliament back in 2010, and this week he again refused to sack him.
The government has effectively lost its majority in the lower house – although it now has 76 MPs out of 151, one of that number, Tony Smith, is the Speaker and doesn't vote except in instances of a tie. "There are actually 75 there and 75 here," Opposition Leader Anthony Albanese pointed out helpfully during question time on Wednesday.
Kelly has pledged to support the government on matters of supply and confidence and continue to back policies the Liberals took to the 2019 election.
Craig Kelly talks to Labor's Joel Fitzgibbon (left), a fellow spruiker of coal. Kelly's decision to sit as an independent allows him to form opportunistic alliances. Credit:Alex Ellinghausen
That leaves his position on any new or changed policies open, along with the potential for parliamentary mischief by Labor – or other freelancing Coalition backbenchers, such as Barnaby Joyce – to embarrass Morrison. Joyce signalled before Kelly's defection he wants to amend legislation on the government's green bank to allow it to fund coal power.
For now, Kelly has tamped down the likelihood of his backing Labor, saying: "There's probably as much chance of that as chewing my arm off."

Did we really not have a topic for "Doctor Who" yet? Strange.
Anyway, here's an explanation why the amazing revival of the "Doctor Who" franchise is not airing in the US:
From the blog of film critic James Berardinelli:
It almost happened, but, as things are wont to do, the deal fell apart at the last minute. The Sci-Fi Channel was on board until they read the small print in the contract. Not only would they be buying the rights to the new 13 episodes, they would be buying the rights to all of the previous 26 seasons. But Sci-Fi didn't want that - they only wanted the new stuff, and didn't want to pay for something they didn't intend to use. The BBC would not relent, so there was no deal. The best chance U.S. audiences have to see "Doctor Who" on television probably rests with BBC America - but they cannot currently afford the program. (Yes, BBC America has to pay the BBC for programming, although I presume it's at a discount rate.)

Hm. That is hard to believe.
It's a shame that the US won't get to see the new series. I watched a couple of the eps with Christopher Ecclestone as the Doctor, and I have to say, I liked them but they weren't overly fabulous. They were also in a stupid timeslot - Saturday 7pm. I'm hardly ever in, and I have trouble remembering to set the VCR. As far as Ecclestone goes, I thought he was OK. But the 10th doctor looks from that image as though they have had in mind a toned down Tom Baker. Now, while I agree with all those who feel Tom will never give up his crown as the best and most wonderful incarnation of the Doctor, I do believe a move back in that direction, stylistically, is a good thing. Ecclestone's doctor was just a bit too slick for my liking, and not nearly eccentric enough (well, there was some contrived eccentricity in there, but to my mind that defeats the purpose). I will most certainly be tuning in.
I know a girl who works for the BBC and does alot with their intellectual property rights, in terms of who gets rights to what, and why. Her area is children's programming, and I'm pretty sure that includes Doctor Who, technically. I certainly remember she knew alot about the inception of this last series. I will ask her what the deal is with BBC America not automatically getting rights - I bet she knows.

Post by special_k » Aug 2nd 2005, 4:10 am
BBC America is a poor outlet for the series...something to do with the charter, if I recall. In essence, Auntie would pay herself for her own programme. Another of the deal breaker's stateside was that it was felt the series was "too British." Excuse me? What did they think they were watching to begin with?
As to the anorak brigade, most of us grew up with an "eccentric" Doctor. However, that kind of silliness just doesn't translate well into the modern market that genius head writer/producer Russell T Davies was aiming for. The idea with Eccles' look was that he ought not stick out like a sore thumb everywhere he and Rose ventured. Don't know why some didn't find him unique enough. I thought he was nothing less than fantastic. Oh, and the outfit was chosen by David Tennant himself, perhaps with a slight nod to the past. Thank heavens that's far as it goes. One of the blessing's of the new series is the fact it's not weighed down by 30 some odd years of stale continuity. It can nod to the past, yet move boldly forward. Thus far, it's worked quite well.
The new series was commissioned by the Controller of BBC Wales, Jane Trantner, and rests quite comfortably within DRAMA. Don't think it's looked on as a children's programme any longer though, thankfully, families are watching together.
Filming for The Christmas Invasion took place in London over the last several days, with Peter Davison paying a visit to the dressed counsel estate to meet new 'Doctor' David Tennant.

This has always irked me as a reason for not broadcasting stuff that's British straight onto US television. I think it's actually quite patronising to the American public.

Yes, I can see the arguments behind this, and I agree that Russell T Davies is very very good. I just don't like to see heritage completely left behind, modern market or not. I'm not particularly old, but I do remember Tom Baker with the utmost fondness, and part of it was the fascination in him being so cut-against-the-gain, and outright bonkers. I didn't really care whether he stood out everywhere he went - in fact that was a positive bonus since it added comedy.

Good. I didn't know that.

I will ask my friend. I am pretty sure she dealt with (or at least helped with) the licensing of the last series, and she was certainly obliged to all sorts of confidentiality. She's in-house legal counsel for the BBC (one of many).
So, I asked my friend about it, and she said that the reason BBC America doesn't automatically get rights to the show is because it is a wholly-owned subsidiary of BBC Worldwide, and legally a separate company (we didn't cover why it's a separate company but I'm sure it has to do with compliance with US laws, and tax reasons, or something like that).
Because the BBC is funded by the British taxpayer, it has an obligation (like all public authorities really) to get the best return on that investment possible. Thus, there is a requirement for 'arms-length commercial exploitation' - the reason BBC America don't get any preferential rates is because they must be treated just like any other company. From what I understood her to be saying, BBC America have a first option on any show made by the BBC, but the BBC have to take a 'market' rate for their programming. They're not allowed to give it to BBC America at a cut-price rate, because that's depriving the UK taxpayer of a valuable return (in the sense of more money to the BBC to keep licence fees down, and make better programmes) which they could get from (say) HBO. So, if BBC America can't pay up, it goes out to a different company who can. Apparently this is what is currently happening with the TV series 'Extras'; after the success of The Office, Universal (I think she said) have steamed in and offered some ludicrously high figure that BBC America have no hope of being able to match (the figure of $900m sticks in my head but I could be wrong). It's possible the same thing happened with Dr. Who but she thinks not - it's more likely that BBC America just don't want it. If they have to pay for it, they have to ensure a decent return.
She is currently involved in the new Dr. Who series, and all the related merchandising/licensing within the UK etc but she couldn't say much because of confidentiality. I did get to hear some interesting anecdotes though. All she could say was that the cybermen are making a comeback, but that's already public domain apparently.
Also, just for interest's sake, there is a definition of 'children's programming' which is that:
at the time of production, it has to be intended to be predominantly of interest to children aged 13 or under.
It is quite complicated and vague, but at least there's a definition.
Now, how many of us wish we had her job? I do!!

Strange though--I'm nearly sure CBC in Canada didn'thave to buy all past years... They got to air it almost just a week behind the UK and had lotsa tie in things (ie special intros for Canada by the stars, etc)
Great series--I watched it solely because Russ T Davies is one of my fave tv writers ever--if only from his tv shows Bob and Rose, the original QUeer as Folk and his sci fi mini series Second Coming--but was very pleasantly surprised

What did everyone think of The Christmas Invasion, with David Tennant's debut as The Doctor?
Post by Sascha » Jan 26th 2006, 8:03 am
Well, it was an okay episode. David Tennant is in a difficult position following Christopher Ecclestone who was a brilliant fit for the "new" Doctor. But he did a good job and I liked it. But I admit I missed Ecclestone big time.
In some scenes I waited for Tennant to pull out a towel and "The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy", especially when he fought in his pyjamas against the evil aliens. The whole episode reminded me a lot of the "Hitchhiker".

Series two was recently launched in Cardiff, and judging the excitement of the attendant journalists, we're in for quite a ride this year. It seems the entire cast were present alongside Russell T. Davies, Julie Gardner, and director James Hawkes. It goes without saying that all were stunning.
BBC Three aired a stand-alone episode of Doctor Who Confidential Saturday last. The double length episode took a look back at series one with special emphasis on the production angle of the series. Will Cohen of effects house The Mill spoke at length about what it was like working on each episode, his excitement quite evident, as opposed to a near comatose colleague in the same piece.
It's evident that this year we'll see more backstage access, as two scenes from The Christmas Invasion were shown being filmed in some detail.
New Earth premieres Saturday at 19.15GMT on BBC-1 with a new episode of Doctor Who Confidential following at 20:00GMT on BBC-3. The trip of a lifetime continues.
By the way, you may wish to have a look at the offerings of http://www.whona.com as they are the North American carrier of the Doctor Who line of books, magazines, action figures, and other assorted collectables. Really great people.

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Southern Florida and the Everglades Water Management History | Historical Research Associates, Inc.
In 2004, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers selected HRA to research and write a history of water management in South Florida and the Everglades. HRA historians traveled to Everglades National Park, state and local archives, and the Corps' Jacksonville District offices to research the political, economic, and environmental dynamics of this unique story. HRA also conducted more than a dozen oral history interviews to gain an intimate and personal perspective on pertinent issues. The result was a 450-page manuscript detailing the Central and South Florida Flood Control Project and the environmental changes it wrought, as well as subsequent attempts to restore balance to the region's fragile ecosystem. In 2010, the Corps asked HRA to add an epilogue covering the recent implementation of the Central Everglades Restoration Plan. Publication of River of Interests: Water Management in South Florida and the Everglades, 1948–2010, occurred in 2011.


The Faculty of Theology and Philosophy is delighted to host leading local and international theologians and philosophers from all over the world who deliver a range of public events addressing a diversity of topics.
The Adelaide Annual Public Lecture is one such event, hosted by the ACU Adelaide Campus.
Throughout the year, we host internationally-acclaimed scholars and experts as part of the ACU Luminaries Series. Our public lectures, seminars, short courses, workshops and research colloquia explore how social, cultural, political and religious issues impact how we understand our world.
Professor Thomas Murray, President Emeritus, The Hastings Center, New York.
A core part of the ACU Luminaries series are two annual events, the Simone Weil Lecture on Human Value and the Plunkett Lecture. You can learn more about each of these events below.
The Simone Weil Lecture on Human Value is hosted by the School of Philosophy. It was first held in 2000, an initiative of Professor Raimond Gaita. It is a free public lecture held annually in Brisbane and Melbourne.
Each year, a distinguished international scholar is invited to give a public lecture and academic seminar at ACU. The lectures are inspired by Simone Weil's ethical vision that is rooted in attentive compassion and obligation to others, her unstinting desire for the Good, and her non-negotiable commitment to justice.
Associate Professor Jeffrey Bloechl, Associate Professor of Philosophy, Boston College.
The inaugural Plunkett Lecture was delivered in 1992, initiating a series of annual lectures which address the ethical issues which arise in the allocation and provision of healthcare in Australia.
The lectures are one way in which the Plunkett Centre for Ethics expresses its commitment to intellectual and professional excellence, to fairness and justice, and to the great values of compassion and fellowship in healthcare.
Professor Greg Craven, Vice-Chancellor and President, ACU.

The workshop was held in Gothenburg, Sweden, on November 19-20, 2013, and attracted 65 participants from 11 countries. The overall aim was to initiate a dialogue across the technology/system interface, as well as on methods and results for technical, economic and environmental evaluations of integrated biomass-based gasification systems. Besides presentations and group discussions, participants had the opportunity to go on a site visit to G teborg Energi GoBiGas, the first industrial scale plant (20 MW product) for SNG production using indirect gasification plant.

I have always believed assessing a significant decision that you are about to make or reviewing one that is already part of your history is best served by listing the pros and cons. If there are more positives than negatives then it is (was) likely a good decision. The greater the decision the more likely there will be a significant amount of positive and negative. One of those life-altering decisions revolves around your choice of career.
As I reflect back on my career as a chef, I pause to look at and weigh the decision that I made more than four decades ago. If you are a chef, I might encourage you to do the same and if you are contemplating jumping in the culinary career stream, this reflection might help you to put everything in perspective and make a decision that is best for you.
I could write a book about the people alone. Let me be clear – the best, most interesting, most transparent, compassionate, in your face, generous, hard working, dedicated, rough and smooth, introverted and extroverted (depending on the time of the day), dependably undependable, creative and fun people that I know – work in restaurants. This is true from the dishwasher up to the chef, from the server to the bartender, and includes many of the people who spend their time as guest – they are all the absolute best and the reason that I spent more than 40 years in the field.
When a chef or owner takes you under his or her wing, you will be connected for life. Mentorship is an age-old tradition in restaurants – chefs and owners enjoy sharing, supporting, and giving back. They are, for all intents and purposes, natural teachers and every aspiring cook – an eager student.
There is no question that chef's and cook's who are dedicated to their career must struggle with the insane number of hours that the job requires. For the chef, until the team is fully developed and on the same page, it may seem impossible to leave the operation. Even when the team has gelled, the desire to "be there" is always present. This is a sacrifice that chefs have dealt with for generations. Should it change? Probably. Will it change? Not likely. Does it push people away from the business? No question. Is there an answer? Probably, but it will take a culture change which is not easy.
In all honesty, I cannot remember a day spent in the kitchen when I failed to have an opportunity to learn something new. I didn't always take those opportunities to heart, but for the times that I did – I became the chef that I am today by looking for those chances to add something or to improve on something else. The information and skills are endless.
Some may wrestle with this and take on the attitude that they need to be compensated better for what they contribute. They are, no doubt, correct, but in the big scheme of things – those who give more than they receive are the ones who advance, are the ones who see those opportunities come there way. The opposite: "I receive more than I give" will eventually lead to the unemployment line.
The other side is to look at the big picture beyond just compensation (not to underestimate the importance of a solid paycheck) and note what the career has provided. I can easily reflect on a network of professional contacts, the opportunity to be entrepreneurial without the capital investment, the chance to work with highly creative and passionate people, the chance to represent a proud profession, the ability to travel in many cases, and the ability to do what you love. These are priceless benefits.
OK, there is another side- the customer who will never be happy, finds joy in complaining, feels obligated to ignore talking about their disappointment until they get on social media and attack a restaurant, the ones who insist on insulting a server, sending back food that was properly cooked, and only seems happy when he or she can make others miserable. It goes with the turf, but hurts all the same. Chefs just need to learn how to accept it and move on.
Everywhere that I travel, every restaurant that I visit, and every cook that I meet – even those who speak a different language, have a bond with me. Simply say that you are a cook, chef, server, restaurateur, or bartender and there is immediately acknowledgement of membership in the club. This connection is invigorating and rewarding. I can't count the number of extra courses, special preparations, complementary bottles of wine, and tours of kitchens that I have enjoyed simply because I said that I too do this for a living. Welcome to the club.
Maybe not true for everyone, but my experiences and connections with the restaurant industry have allowed me to visit more than half of the US States, and a dozen foreign countries. I have visited the kitchens of some of the finest restaurants in the world, dine at many, made a connection with renown chefs and wine makers, and am able to call on a network of hundreds of food professionals as a result of standing behind a range and taking my role seriously.
It is not ego, certainly not required, and definitely not meaningful to anyone but me, but I have always been called "chef" and even after I entered the world of "semi-retirement" find that people continue to make this reference. What I have found is that it goes beyond a sign of respect for the individual, but more importantly respect for the position. Sure is nice to be part of that club.
Yin and Yang points to many things, but in this case demonstrates that for every positive there is a negative and every negative a positive. They work together and balance each other out. If left alone there will at least be balance. If there are more positives than negatives then we relish a decision or a life, if there are more negatives than positives then we have a life or decision in disarray. To me, a life in the kitchen has been far more rewarding than I could have ever imagined.
