Sinbad Is Hilarious At The Rose in Pasadena
photo by Cynthia Perello
It was standing room only Friday night, at The Rose in Pasadena, as veteran funnyman Sinbad took the stage to deliver his classic brand of comedy.
Before an appreciative and diverse, sold out crowd that included fans young and old, Sinbad, 59, who has been in the comedy game since he was 26, made it look easy.
From the time he took the stage, until he left nearly two hours later, he held the audience in the palm of his hands. A socially conscious comic, who knows how to add a comedic twist to real issues – Sinbad, who is applauded for not having to use expletives to make his shows funny, spoke about everything from raising children, marriage, health care, his health, his battle with ADHD, parenting, getting old and yes, even Donald Trump.
Donned in white tennis shoes, blue jeans, black and blue peace sign on his t-shirt, a gold cross around his neck, earrings in his ears and sporty, dark glasses and a black t-shirt, Sinbad, a Michigan native who hilariously thinks of himself as not being black or light skinned but 'dark white,' readies himself for a night of fun.
So do his long time fans, Cynthia and Ibarionex Perello, who were in the audience and excited about the prospect of seeing one of their favorite comics perform.
"Sinbad is the cleanest and funniest comedian out there, hands down," said Cynthia Perello. "His show was so much fun. Sinbad didn't skip a beat after all these years. We've been fans for as long as we can remember. He resonated with his audience well without using any references of filth, vile references or cursing. He was just pure comedy. His material was sincere, natural and timely."
Before his show, I sat down with Sinbad in the green room to talk about his career. In the midst of a nationwide tour, traveling about seven or eight months off and on, Sinbad, whose favorite comic vets include Bill Cosby, Richard Pryor, Jonathan Winters, Redd foxx and Robins Willias, was in rare form.
DD: You've been in the game for a while, how has comedy changed and how has your show changed?
S: My approach hasn't changed. You adapt. The deal is to stay relevant. When my world changed, I didn't go off and be a hermit. I changed just like technology changed. I changed like everybody else changed. If you didn't, you got left behind. It's hardest for younger comics to get into the game today. No big comedy clubs and they don't pay them. They can't make money. Now you've go to go viral and trend. Now you're competing with people who aren't even comedians. I saw where Nene Leakes working in a comedy club. NeNe Leakes is a comic now. She is headlining. NeNe Leakes. You know why? Because reality shows got so big. She's loud. People think when you're loud, you're funny. Although that's how comics become comics. There has to be some likability. I'm not saying she's not likeable. She became likeable by the way she talks to people. But, I'm not saying she's not funny. That's just me talking. More power to you.
DD: Describe what happens the day you're scheduled to perform. Walk me through it. How do you prepare.
S: Each day is different. I just flew in from Phoenix. Before that I was on the road. My son got married. I had five shows in Florida. Came here. Did a benefit in Phoenix. I landed here today in Burbank. Today I started taking bass lessons. Trying to learn a song. Did that for a while. I leave tomorrow. Going to Seattle, then I go to Nashville. I'm 60. I'm going to have heart attacks with all these 7a.m. flights. I'm doing more comedy clubs than I've ever done. I'm trying not to have back to back a.m. flights, though. I'm tired now. It's combining family and job and everything.
DD: What is your life like during the year? How many shows a year?
S: I do about 150-200 shows a year. That's what I do. When movies aren't happening and TV is not happening, there is always comedy. Comedy is always number one. I have a job. Bill Cosby used to say, ' I'm a comedian – slash – everything else.' That's what sets us apart from other people.
DD: Do you write ALL of your own jokes? Describe that process.
S: No, I don't write my jokes, it just comes. It's like jazz. I know the keys, I know the notes. I just hear what I want to do. Every night I do something new. If I do two shows a night, I do two different shows. But, that's not new. That's what I've always done.
DD: You must have gotten some great material from this election year?
S: They just made it to easy. The hits just keep on coming. Everybody is jumping on stage. You can be president, especially if you talk dumb enough. Americans love dumb talk. We love dumbness. We love loudness. We love rudeness. We love hoes. Now we love everything we used to say no to.
DD: How do you know when something is funny?
S: It's like music. You know what works. You trust it. You get older and you just trust it.
DD: Are you encouraged or discouraged by your industry, and why?
S: It has never embraced me. Me and my brother, Mark, we busted our butts. We did our own shows. We did our own stuff. We did it ourselves. They thought because I was clean, I wasn't funny. It was almost like I was non-black. I'm the most militant brother I know. To them - cursing is blackness. When we're not cursing we're not being funny. When we're cussing, we're black. So I guess Robin Williams is black. Lenny Bruce is black. Everybody is black now. They put you in a box in Hollywood. There was a time at first when you think you're killin it. You think they are about to grab me up. Then, it doesn't happen. They pass you up for someone else. You get a chip on your shoulder. When you think you've earned something – that's when you've taken your eyes off the prize. You can suck and work. It gives me hope. You can suck….and work. Well, just wait until you see me.
DD: Who is killin it in the comedy game right now, – besides you, of course? Who makes you laugh and why?
S: Most of the same cats who have been killin it forever, are the ones that make me laugh. Kevin Hart is killin it career wise. Trevor Noah is very funny. Y'all need to pay attention to him. People keep asking for Jon Stewart to come back. But, Trevor is killing it. He's funny and intelligent.
DD: Lets talk about the personal side of Sinbad. Describe yourself.
S: I love music. I'm a nerd, particularly a tech nerd. It changes. I have ADHD. I'm not going to stay in it– I'm going to change the game. When I get tired, I move on. When the game changes it does bother me, but we have to change with the game. Our success from the 70s used to be called creativity.
DD: What issues are dear to you?
S: Education, equality. Health care. Racism. This country is still dealing with racism. Donald Trump has showed us he can act a straight up fool and people will still believe in him. He said once that he could shoot someone they would still follow him. He was right, people would still follow him. It got to the point that David Dukes , an open Klan member can run for president. He says, 'looks like people are ok with it.' It's now safe for Klan members. A lot of people are thinking, 'I can put my robe back on, yep, I can put my robe back on.'
DD: What really angers you?
S: Ignorance. People who believe in that entitlement. Believing you're entitled to something. Believing this is your country. Believing the military belongs to you, God belongs to you. They believe they are the only ones who care about America.
DD: You have a serious side. Do people always expect you to be on?
S: Some people do. People who know you adjust to you. Young comics are always on. After you've been out there a while you understand that you don't have to prove it.
DD: Tell me something that your fans don't know – and might surprise them.
S: I tell everything. When I'm on stage, I tell everything. If you haven't see me you might be shocked to know that I cuss. They don't think I cuss. I mean I really cuss.
DD: Do you remember your first professional laugh. If so, tell me about it.
S: I don't know. I guess it was when I was in the Air Force talent show. It was a joke a dude gave me. I didn't know how to tell jokes. I said something about a base commander. First time I knew I could get a laugh I was in the eighth grade. I tried to make people laugh. Some of it backfired. I got punched in the face.
DD: What is there left to do? Maybe to do the White House correspondent's dinner.
S: I did that. I did it for the first President Bush.
I was the comedian for the correspondent's dinner. They begged me to do it. The year I did it Mayor Pratt was in trouble in D.C. because she said she spaned her kids. When I was on stage I turned around and asked Mrs. Bush is she spanks her kids. She said, 'yes.' I said, 'uh-huh.' That was it. The trouble was over for Mayor Pratt. Someone said I ended the controversy right then. It wasn't televised. She was in trouble. I'm that dude. I'm the bull in the china shop.
DD: I get the feeling people think you're just nice all the time.
S: Oh, yeah. Sometimes white executives will say something disrespectful. I just look at them and say, 'You must can fight.' I'm respecting you. You respect me. Sometimes you have to ask for respect . And when you do that, now I'm the one who is hard to work with. Now I'm hard to deal with. I'm still a nerd. I'm that guy that teaches his children that if it's in a book, it can be learned.
Casting Announced For 'The Fantasticks'
PASADENA, CA (July 29, 2016) – The Pasadena Playhouse (Artistic Director Sheldon Epps) announced today full casting for THE FANTASTICKS by Harvey Schmidt and Tom Jones. The production will be directed by Seema Sueko, who directed The Pasadena Playhouse's critically acclaimed production of Real Women Have Curves last season.
The cast of eight features Philip Anthony-Rodriguez as El Gallo (Broadway's Buddy – The Buddy Holly Story, NBC's Grimm); Regi Davis as Bellomy (Nickelodeon's Game Shakers); Conor Guzmán as Matt (The Cabrillo Music Theatre's The Little Mermaid); Ashley Park as Luisa (Broadway's The King and I); contemporary dance artist Alyse Rockett as The Mute, Amir Talai as Mortimer (Nickelodeon's Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awsomeness); Gedde Watanabe as Hucklebee (Broadway's Pacific Overtures, John Hughes' Sixteen Candles); and Hal Linden as Henry, whose extensive credits include ABC's Barney Miller, and a Best Actor Tony Award for his portrayal of Mayer Rothschild in the Broadway musical The Rothschilds.
Director Seema Sueko says, "I can't wait to dive into rehearsals with this incredibly talented group of artists. Beyond their beautiful voices and great acting, these eight individuals bring a unique artistry and life experience to what we hope will be a timely and resonant production."
Sheldon Epps, Artistic Director of The Pasadena Playhouse says, "Seema and her creative team have brought together a wonderfully diverse, talented, charming, and persuasive cast for our production of this much loved musical. I have no doubt that the entire company will bring both freshness and immediacy to this great classic that will have audiences not just rediscovering the show, but in fact seeing it as if for the first time. I very much look forward to their contributions to this true gem of a musical."
Tom Jones, lyricist and book writer of THE FANTASTICKS, says, "I have been a fan of The Pasadena Playhouse for a long time. I have been a fan of Seema Sueko for a much shorter time, as we met online just a few months ago when she wrote me describing her ideas for a new way to approach THE FANTASTICKS. I was so impressed by what she wrote that we began a series of emails, tossing ideas and possibilities back and forth like two jugglers in a vaudeville show. When she was finally able to come visit me at my home we began to pin down our ideas to specifics, and I began, after nearly sixty years, to rewrite a few sections of THE FANTASTICKS."
The creative team for THE FANTASTICKS includes Music Director David O, choreographer Kitty McNamee, scenic designer David F. Weiner; costume designer Shirley Pierson; lighting designer Josh Epstein; sound designer Joe Huppert; and fight choreographer Tim Weske.

Matt Damon Returns To Play 'Jason Bourne'
Matt Damon is back! Jason Bourne is back! Matt Damon is back as Jason Bourne! Life is good!
Hip Hip Hooray!
The last Bourne film was four years ago and starred Jeremy Renner in The Bourne Legacy. There's nothing wrong with Renner. It's just that Damon owns the Jason Bourne character.
It's that stoic, stern look, that I-gotta-get-there stride, that deadly fighting style and that undeniable likeability and charisma. And, more importantly, there's Bourne – the man of very few words! Very few words!
On July 29, the iconic Jason Bourne, the CIA's most lethal former operative, returns with lots of action and intrigue.
First there was 2002's The Bourne Identity, then came 2004's The Bourne Supremacy and then 2007's The Bourne Ultimatum. There was also 2012's The Bourne Legacy (which did NOT star Damon). Now we have Jason Bourne.
With any Bourne film you know exactly what you're going to get. They are going to come close to cornering him – but to no avail. There are enormous and exciting fight scenes and heart-pounding car chases.
This movie doesn't disappoint! It's the perfect summer flick – full of fireworks.
This time around Bourne finds out who killed his father and why! It's an eye-opening scenario that puts Bourne on his heels.
Who can he trust? Should he go back in?
If you know Jason Bourne, you know he trust no one – and for good reason.
Although it's been 14 years since the character first became a fan favorite, Jason Bourne hasn't missed a stride – and neither has Matt Damon.
It's been 10 years since Jason Bourne (Matt Damon) walked away from the agency that trained him to become a deadly weapon. And he is still as badass as ever.
In an effort to draw Bourne into the open, CIA director Robert Dewey (Tommy Lee Jones) assigns hacker and counterinsurgency expert Heather Lee (Alicia Vikander) to find him. Lee suspects that former operative Nicky Parsons (Julia Stiles) is also looking for him. Lee uses the scariest cyber tactics in which to find Bourne. It proves that Big Brother is watching and knows a bit too much about your daily moves. And, she's right. Nicky has some important information for Bourne that will give him the answers he's been looking for. Bourne and Nicky learn that Dewey is secretly developing his own shadow government with the help of tech guru. The results, of which, could be catastrophic. As Lee begins tracking the duo, Bourne finds himself back in action battling some of the very people that made him who he is today.
In his attempt to save the world, Bourne, once again, makes his way around the world as he systematically tries to figure out what is going on. There's Athens, Berlin, London and, of course, ending up in the states, notably Vegas where he has a spectacular car chase on the strip. While Bourne is in the midst of doing his part for humanity, he is being targeted by an assassin known only as the Asset, played aptly by Vincent Cassel.
To be honest, there isn't anything new in the film. There isn't anything we haven't seen in the previous efforts. This is classic Bourne. He's back and ready to safeguard the brand.
Jason Bourne stars Matt Damon, Alicia Vikander, Julia Stiles, Vincent Cassel and Tommy Lee Jones. It is directed by Paul Greengrass (The Bourne Series, Captain Philips) and produced by Matt Damon, Gregory Goodman (X-Men: First Class, Captain Phillips, 8 Mile), Paul Greengrass, Frank Marshall (Back to the Future, The Sixth Sense, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade). It's written by Matt Damon, Paul Greengrass, Robert Ludlum (The Bourne Identity), Christopher Rouse (The Bourne Series, The Italian Job).
JASON BOURNE: RATED PG-13 for intense sequences of violence and action, and brief strong language
On the DONLOE SCALE: D (don't bother), O (oh, no), N (need work), L (likeable), O (oh, yeah), E (excellent), JASON BOURNE gets an O (oh, yeah)

Disney's 'Moana' Set To Open November 23
BURBANK, Calif. (July 27, 2016) – Walt Disney Animation Studios' "Moana," which opens in theaters nationwide on Nov. 23, 2016, features a dynamic roster of characters brought to life by a talented group of actors. Directed by Ron Clements and John Musker, who were behind "The Little Mermaid" and "Aladdin," "Moana" showcases the life-changing journey of a tenacious 16-year-old who teams up with the mighty demigod Maui to fulfill an ancient quest.
The newly revealed characters and voice talent join the already announced duo that includes newcomer Auli'i Cravalho, who lends her voice to the title character, Moana, a teenager who dreams of becoming a master wayfinder, and Dwayne Johnson (HBO's "Ballers," "Central Intelligence"), who voices Maui—half god, half mortal, all awesome.
"Our assembled voice cast for this film is beyond our wildest dreams," said Musker. "We are so fortunate to have this group of talented actors, many from Oceania, breathing life into their characters."
Added Clements, "We are so thankful to have found such extraordinary people who not only capture the voices of these characters, they elevate them in every way."
Joining Cravalho and Johnson are the following performers.
· JEMAINE CLEMENT ("The BFG," "Despicable Me," "Rio," "Rio 2," "What We Do in the Shadows," Flight of the Conchords) provides the voice of TAMATOA, a self-absorbed, 50-foot crab who lives in Lalotai, the realm of monsters. The conceited crustacean wants to be more than a "bottom feeder" and overcompensates for this perceived shortcoming by covering himself in all things shiny.
· RACHEL HOUSE ("Whale Rider," "Hunt for the Wilderpeople") lends her voice to GRAMMA TALA, Moana's confidante and best friend, who shares her granddaughter's special connection to the ocean. Although her son Tui, the chief of Motunui, is a no-nonsense leader, Gramma Tala most definitely dances to the beat of her own drum.
· TEMUERA MORRISON ("Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones," "Once Were Warriors," "Six Days, Seven Nights") voices Moana's father, CHIEF TUI, the gregarious and well-respected leader of the people of Motunui Island. Chief Tui wants Moana to follow in his footsteps as leader of their people, but fears his daughter's draw to the ocean and the world that lies beyond their reef.
· NICOLE SCHERZINGER (Grammy®-nominated singer, West End's "Cats") voices Moana's mother, SINA, who always has her daughter's back. Playful, sharp and strong-willed, Sina appreciates Moana's longing to be on the water, but also wants to protect her daughter from the fabled dangers beyond the reef.
· ALAN TUDYK, Walt Disney Animation Studios' lucky charm ("Zootopia," "Wreck-It Ralph," "Big Hero 6"), is behind the voice of HEIHEI. Heihei is one dumb rooster—the village idiot, in fact. When the clueless chicken accidently stows away on Moana's canoe, he lands a front-row seat for her epic journey.
The roster of characters also includes the KAKAMORA, an intense team of crazy, coconut-armored pirates who will stop at nothing to get what they want, and PUA, Moana's loyal pet pig with puppy energy and an innocent puppy brain.
TRAILER: https://www.relayit.net/pickup.php?c=mSPpRqmhr4mdDMg7zxqxzcK3x5Rgndxfw8q4
Three thousand years ago, the greatest sailors in the world voyaged across the vast Pacific, discovering the many islands of Oceania. But then, for a millennium, their voyages stopped – and no one knows why. From Walt Disney Animation Studios comes "Moana," a sweeping, CG-animated feature film about an adventurous teenager who sails out on a daring mission to save her people. During her journey, Moana (voice of Auliʻi Cravalho) meets the mighty demigod Maui (voice of Dwayne Johnson), who guides her in her quest to become a master wayfinder. Together, they sail across the open ocean on an action-packed voyage, encountering enormous monsters and impossible odds, and along the way, Moana fulfills the ancient quest of her ancestors and discovers the one thing she's always sought: her own identity. Directed by the renowned filmmaking team of Ron Clements and John Musker ("The Little Mermaid," "Aladdin," "The Princess & the Frog") and produced by Osnat Shurer ("Lifted," "One Man Band"), "Moana" sails into U.S. theaters on Nov. 23, 2016.

Robin Barnes Is The Songbird of New Orleans
Robin Barnes
Having conquered hearts locally and captured media acclaim as "The Songbird of New Orleans," award-winning jazz singer Robin Barnes is preparing to spread her soulful song beyond The Big Easy. On August 26, the powerfully-voiced siren who was named the Favorite New Orleans Musician earlier this year by New Orleans Magazine will issue her second EP, "Songbird Sessions," on the Rhythm Elevation Records label. Barnes and bassist Pat Casey produced the intimate five-song acoustic jazz date of standards and gems made famous by her seminal influences such as New Orleans icons Allen Toussaint and Irma Thomas. The first track being serviced to radio is Barnes's smoldering and sultry rendition of Thomas's "Ruler of My Heart."
Backed by Casey, drummers and percussionists Herlin Riley and Shannon Powell, and guitarists Steve Masakowski and Danny Abel, Barnes soars mightily on "Songbird Sessions." Confident and assured, the twenty-something chanteuse unveils unadulterated passion with poise and in complete command on the rousing spiritual "Great Day" and the gentle jazz lullaby "Little Jazz Bird." Barnes's arresting take of Van Morrison's "The Way Young Lovers Do" haunts. On the classic "My Funny Valentine," her aching, delicate croon depicts an intrepid artist confronting her fragility head on.
"'Songbird Sessions' is about spreading my wings and singing with my soul. This little jazz bird is taking a leap and following a dream. The EP is made up of songs that I've been passionate about while growing up in New Orleans. This music helped me express my heart though song. I wanted to do something more intimate for this record with just vocals, bass, guitar and drums. Sometimes it was scary because it's just me and my vocals. There's no big band or sounds to help cover my vulnerability or distract the listener. The tracks are open and powerful, but it's just me. As a young artist, I'm finding my voice and my self. Jazz has impact and power. I want to remind the world how amazing jazz music is," said Barnes, who begins a six-week residency at the House of Blues in New Orleans on July 28 and will celebrate the EP at a hometown record release concert at Peaches Records on August 27.
Barnes has come a long way since she started singing in church as a six-year-old and going on to performing in her family's jazz band. Two years ago, she won Offbeat magazine's Outstanding Millennial in Music Award. Her weekly gigs in New Orleans have not only endeared her to the city, but have brought national fanfare including a performance on "NCIS: New Orleans" as well as an abundance of press coverage in the pages of ESPN, Forbes, Ebony, Southern Living , Travel + Leisure and Southwest Magazine. Having become synonymous with the distinctive sounds of New Orleans by being featured in various media and marketing campaigns promoting the Crescent City, Barnes has adorned the cover of area newspapers and magazines and maintains a regular presence on local television. Her leadership role includes her running club, "Move Ya Brass," which counts over 200 runners in the fitness program she created to help motivate her to get fit after recovering from a near fatal kidney ailment four years ago. Barnes's first EP, "Me," was a soul-pop effort released in 2013. For more information, please visit www.RobinBarnesMusic.com.
"Songbird Sessions" contains the following songs:
"Great Day"
"Little Jazz Bird"
"Ruler of My Heart"
"The Way Young Lovers Do"
'Olympic Pride, American Prejudice' Documentary Set For Theatrical Release, Opens August 5
July, 1936 on the SS Manhattan. L-R: James LuValle, 400m Bronze Medalist; Archie Williams, 400m Gold Medalist; John Woodruff, 800m Gold Medalist; Cornelius Johnson, High Jump Gold Medalist; Mack Robinson, 200m Silver Medalist. The photo was taken on July, 1936 on the SS Manhattan. Photo credit: Olympic Pride, American Prejudice LLC.
LOS ANGELES & NEW YORK (July 25, 2016) – Coffee Bluff Pictures announces the theatrical release of Olympic Pride, American Prejudice, a film directed by Deborah Riley Draper (Versailles "73: American Runway Revolution) and narrated by Blair Underwood on August 5 at Cinema Village in New York and in Los Angeles at the Laemmle Monica Film Center. The director will be in attendance for Q&As at select shows. The film enjoyed a sold-out world premiere as an official selection in the documentary category at the Los Angeles Film Festival and is also an official selection at the 2016 Traverse City Film Festival. The film will open in 10 additional cities in September.
Olympic Pride, American Prejudice follows 18 African Americans, 16 men and 2 women, who defied Jim Crow and Adolf Hitler to win hearts and medals at the 1936 Summer Olympic Games. While the world is familiar with Jesse Owens' story, this film tells the largely unknown story of the 17 other black Olympians. Though their untold stories faded into obscurity, their presence on the world stage in 1936 remains a seminal precursor to the modern American Civil Rights Movement and the struggle for equality in sports.
"Olympic Pride, American Prejudice is a deeply inspiring and emotional film that examines race, sports and implicit bias during the 1930s through the eyes and voices of 18 young Black Olympians, who laid the groundwork for so many movements," said Deborah Riley Draper, Writer/Director. "Their experiences are as relevant today as they were 80 years ago."
The film weaves rarely seen archival footage and photos with interviews of Carl Lewis, Isiah Thomas, Anita DeFrantz, Ambassador Andrew Young and Lonnie Bunch, III among others, including the families of the 1936 Black Olympians, German 1936 Olympics spectators and sports historians.
"Olympic Pride, American Prejudice is a film for all ages and for the ages," says Blair Underwood, the film's Narrator and Executive Producer. "Generations to come will be inspired by the perseverance, courage and patriotism of these 18 African American Athletes that faced Jim Crow America AND Nazi Germany during Berlin's 1936 Olympics. I am honored and proud to play but a small role in singing their praises!"

In celebration of the highly anticipated release of SUICIDE SQUAD, stars of the film hosted a Miami block party at the infamous Wynwood Art District in Miami. The urban influencers in attendance included: Bryant McKinnie, University of Miami & Super Bowl Champion; Ace Hood, South Florida's very own acclaimed Hip Hop artist; Richard Way, founder of The Urban Miami and Alexis Brown, founder of Social Xchange, among other AA influencers such as Watch Jazzy and Shelah Marie. As a special surprise actor Will Smith was introduced to the crowd and started rapping the fan-favorite song, "Summer Time", in which rapper Ace Hood didn't hesitate to join him by singing along.
ABOUT SUICIDE SQUAD
From director David Ayer ("Fury," "End of Watch") comes "Suicide Squad," starring Oscar nominee Will Smith ("Ali," "The Pursuit of Happyness"), Oscar winner Jared Leto ("Dallas Buyers Club"), Margot Robbie ("The Wolf of Wall Street," "Focus"), Joel Kinnaman (Netflix's "House of Cards") and Oscar nominee Viola Davis ("The Help," "Doubt").
It feels good to be bad… Assemble a team of the world's most dangerous, incarcerated Super Villains, provide them with the most powerful arsenal at the government's disposal, and send them off on a mission to defeat an enigmatic, insuperable entity. U.S. intelligence officer Amanda Waller has determined only a secretly convened group of disparate, despicable individuals with next to nothing to lose will do. However, once they realize they weren't picked to succeed but chosen for their patent culpability when they inevitably fail, will the Suicide Squad resolve to die trying, or decide it's every man for himself?
Written and directed by Ayer based on the characters from DC Comics, the film also stars Jai Courtney ("Insurgent"), Jay Hernandez ("Takers"), Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje ("Thor: The Dark World"), Ike Barinholtz ("Neighbors"), Scott Eastwood ("Fury"), Cara Delevingne ("Paper Towns"), Adam Beach ("Cowboys & Aliens"), and Karen Fukuhara in her feature film debut. It is produced by Charles Roven and Richard Suckle, with Zack Snyder, Deborah Snyder, Colin Wilson and Geoff Johns serving as executive producers.

Thousands Flock To First L.A. Soul Music Festival
The sun beamed a blazing 102 degrees at the Autry Museum, last Friday night, but it was nothing compared to the heat emanating from the talent on stage at the first L.A. Soul Music Festival, presented by Airborne Tickets.
The brainchild of Mark Douglas, this inaugural event, the first music festival to be held on the grounds of the Autry, was a hit as thousands of R&B enthusiasts came to hear some of the hottest acts in music.
The three day event (July 22-24) highlights national and internationally known artists and new artists who are making an impact in soul music.
Friday night, the festival featured Rahsaan Patterson, Eric Roberson, Melanie Fiona, Lalah Hathaway and Eric Benet.
Saturday's lineup included Goapele, Loose Ends, Vivian Green, Angie Stone and Joe. Sunday, the closing night of the festival, features Conya Doss, Avery Sunshine, Lyfe Jennings, Marsha Ambrosius and Jazmine Sullivan.
That's 15 artists, over three days on one stage!
Rahsaan Patterson kicked off the festival singing his hit, Crazy Baby, followed by Pop Life, Spend The Night Stop Breaking My Heart, Don't You Know That and Where You Are.
Backstage he expressed how happy he was to open the festival.
"First let me say that anytime there is an opportunity to perform in front of people who are familiar with your work, it's an honor, said Patterson.
A seasoned artist, Patterson, who said all of his CDs begin where his previous one left off, expressed his concern about the state of music.
"I try to stay focused on what inspires me," said Patterson. "I have respect for all sounds, but I'm indifferent mainly because I'm from a different era. I began my career at a different time when music was different than it is today. I will say, though, that some of what is popular today does influence me."
Eric Roberson
Eric Roberson, dapper in a brown hat, turquoise blazer, brown pants and brown and turquoise shoes, kicked off his set with Picture Perfect. He also sang his hits Mark on Me and Just Walk Away.
Melanie Fiona, who recently gave birth, looked fantastic in a flowing, black dress. Her set included Give It To Me Right, Fool For You, Wrong Side of A Love Song and It Kills Me.
Fiona got the crowd on its feet as she called the evening a "night of love."
She injected a bit of activism into the evening when she asked the crowd if they believe that Black Lives Matter.
"If you do, then put your fist in the air," said Fiona as she sang Break Down These Walls.
The crowd, fists high in the air, enthusiastically obliged.
Lalah Hathaway, who jokingly kept telling the crowd about her new CD called, Lalah Hathaway Live, kept the crowd swinging and swaying with her songs as well as covers. Her set included Baby, Baby Don't Cry, Angel, Would You Mind, Yearning For Your Love, Somethin' and Forever, For Always, For Love.
As she sang her late father, Donny Hathaway's Little Ghetto Boy, photos of blacks who've been killed by the police were projected on the screen. A handful of the photos flashed included Trayvon Martin, Freddie Gray, Amadou Diallo, Eric Garner, Sandra Bland, Alton Sterling and more.
At the end of her performance, Los Angeles Board of Public Works Commissioner Mike Davis, on behalf of Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, presented Hathaway with an award for outstanding career and community achievements.
Eric Benet
Eric Benet closed out the night singing Chocolate Legs and his megahit Spend My Life With You.
Comedian Ron G kept the night flowing in between acts, with hilarious sets that kept the sweaty, but appreciative, crowd in stitches.
The L.A. Soul Music Festival continues through Sunday.
L.A. Soul Music Festival, The Autry Museum, 4700 Western Heritage Way, Los Angeles. For tickets and information: www.lasoulmusic.com; gates open at 4:30
p.m., show is at 6:30 p.m. #lasoulfest

New Documentary Makes the Case for Kenya's Embattled Standard Gauge Railway Cargo Lines
Supporters of Kenya's ailing Standard Gauge Railway produced a 20 minute-documentary that was broadcast on national TV this week in an attempt to persuade an increasingly skeptical public of the SGR's merits.
The program was produced by ChamsMedia, a local production company, and broadcast on Citizen TV, but it's not clear who underwrote the production and distribution costs. Given the kind of access the production crew had to the railway and to ministerial level officials who were interviewed for the documentary, it's likely that this was funded either by Kenya Railways (KR) or the Kenyan government.
In a Dramatic Move, Kenya's Solicitor General Wants to Terminate the SGR's Contract With Its Chinese Operator

Spokesman: Sullivan voted, but not in Senate race
By Associated Press - Monday, August 11, 2014
JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) - A spokesman for Republican U.S. Senate contender Dan Sullivan says Sullivan voted in the 2010 election, just not that year's contested Senate race.
During a yes-or-no lightning round in a debate Sunday night, Sullivan said no when asked if he'd written in Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski's name in the 2010 race. Murkowski mounted a general-election write-in campaign to keep her job after losing to tea party favorite Joe Miller in the primary.
Miller is seeking the GOP nomination again this year. Lt. Gov. Mead Treadwell is also running. Treadwell said he wrote-in Murkowski.
Sullivan spokesman Mike Anderson said Sullivan abstained from voting in the Senate race out of concern his vote would be a conflict of interest with his duties as attorney general, a post Sullivan held during the election.

Q: gatsby-background-image crop left side of background image on browser resize I can create the result that I want using regular css on a div using the code below. The image is stuck to the right side of the screen and the left side of the image crops so that when you shrink the size of the screen you still see the castle in the image.

#bgImg{
  background-image: url("https://i.stack.imgur.com/pfepb.jpg");
  height: 225px;
  width: 100%;
  background-position: right center;
  object-fit: fill;
}

I'm unable to create the same result using gatsby-background-image. The image always crops the right side of the image.
I tried creating a code sandbox, but unfortunately the image isn't appearing and I can't find out why

This is the code that I have which crops the right side of the image instead of the left

const bgImgProps: FluidObject = data.bessImg.childImageSharp.fluid
const otherImgProps: FluidObject = data.logoImg.childImageSharp.fluid

<BackgroundImage
        Tag="section"
        role="img"
        className='w-100 h-100'
        style={{
          backgroundPosition: "right center",
          objectFit: "fill"
        }}
        fluid={bessImgProps}
        backgroundColor={`#040e18`}
      >

      </BackgroundImage>
.header-outer-container{
    height: 225px;
}

header{
    min-height: 225px;
    background-position: right center;
}

This is what it looks like, but I want the image to crop from the other side, so that the castle remains visible, like in the plain css example above.

A: I had to give the class .headerBG to my background image and create css that looks like
.headerBG::before{
    background-position: right center;
}

I then didn't need any of the other lines which stated background-position: right center; resulting in JS and CSS which looked like

const bgImgProps: FluidObject = data.bessImg.childImageSharp.fluid
const otherImgProps: FluidObject = data.logoImg.childImageSharp.fluid

<BackgroundImage
        Tag="section"
        role="img"
        className='w-100 h-100'
        style={{
          objectFit: "fill"
        }}
        fluid={bessImgProps}
        backgroundColor={`#040e18`}
      >

      </BackgroundImage>
.header-outer-container{
    height: 225px;
}

header{
    min-height: 225px;
}

.headerBG::before{
    background-position: right center;
}

Ex-priest Jim Smith, opponent of Minnesota's ballot to ban same-sex marriages, says these are difficult days to be Catholic.
Comments (2,849 comments)
Can 'true Catholics' support same-sex marriage?
By Chris Welch, CNN
Minneapolis (CNN) - Jim Smith is a former Roman Catholic priest who left his post with the church 10 years ago. He's an ex-priest for several reasons, he says, but one of his main concerns was the church's stance against same-sex marriage and other LGBT issues.
But Smith remains a Catholic - though he says being a Catholic who actively campaigns for legalized same-sex marriages can be difficult these days.
"I'd much rather this wasn't happening," Smith says of the division that the issue has created among Minnesota Catholics. "But it does provide some real opportunities because it challenges us to talk to each other, Catholics talking to other Catholics."
Minnesota has become the newest epicenter in the same-sex marriage fight. This November, voters will decide whether they want an amendment added to the state's constitution that would ban marriage between members of the same sex.
Smith will be voting "no." And he has helped spearhead efforts in the state to persuade other Catholics to do the same.

Pastor risks church for his principles
By David Mattingly, CNN
St. Paul, Minnesota (CNN)–Before Sunday morning services, the Rev. Oliver White looked at the rows of empty pews in his tiny St. Paul, Minnesota, church without regret.
"If this was a mistake," White said, "then I will make the mistake all over again."
In 2005, White made a costly decision.

Nick Pleased With Performance
@pnefc
Academy manager Nick Harrison was pleased with the result and performance from his boys tonight following a thumping success in the FA Youth Cup.
The young Lilywhites bossed the game from start to finish against Mansfield Town, running out comfortable 6-1 winners to earn a place in the second round against either Macclesfield Town or York City in front of more than 500 fans at Deepdale.
And Harrison was quick to praise his players for the way they went about the win.
Speaking exclusively to PNE.Com, Harrison said: "We are most pleased with the performance tonight; we are pleased we won the game obviously, that's important for the lads, but we wanted a performance as well.
"We wanted to get through, so the result was important, but we did really want to see a good performance and we got that today.
"From Thursday we talked about really getting at them for the first five or ten minutes and to test them and I thought we did that well and it allowed us to play and I think that then allowed us to pick them off and find the spaces and we got our nose in front.
"Once we got the second we were comfortable and I thought we deserved to go on and win the game.
"Because we played with such a high tempo for the first five or ten minutes, it allowed us to play and the lads took their chances with that.
"They were brave to get on the ball and they had the courage to get on the half turn and try and drive and commit a few defenders and I think they did that really well.
"We don't mind Ross Dalton being a spectator for most of the night in goal, long may that continue, but he has got to concentrate and he was called into action a couple of times.
"We try and play and he is involved in our play from the back so we are delighted for everyone, right from Ross, up to the centre forwards.
"We try and give the front players a bit of a licence and we set them up with positions, but we allow them to get into spaces and all four of them, if you include Tyler Forbes, did that and I think all four of them deserved to get on the scoresheet.
"There was great movement and great enthusiasm to score goals so we are pleased with that."
In preparation for the game, Harrison had his players training at Deepdale earlier today in a bid to get a feel for the place and that tactic paid off handsomely, with the reward being a chance to do it all over again in the second round.
He continued: "They are playing under the lights, in front of their family and it can faze a few, but we tried to integrate them into playing at Deepdale.
"We did a little bit of a session here this morning and I think that helped, but I think they were just so focused in terms of our game plan and got the successes from that really .
"We are looking forward to doing it all again but more importantly the lads are.
"We said they need to bottle this feeling up and whatever they did before the match in preparation, they need to do again.
"We are looking for them not just to do that in the cup game but in every game they go into and I think if they play like that, we can certainly go on a good unbeaten run which will hopefully stand them in good stead as they try and get their professional contracts.
"So we are looking forward to the next game, we will do our homework and I'm sure the boys will definitely be up for it."
North End return to league action now and Harrison is keen to see similar performances from his players in league duty as they try to climb the Football League Youth Alliance North West Conference in the
coming weeks.
"They have set a standard now," stated Harrison.
"We have been waiting for the penny to drop with a few of them and I think that has happened today, but they have set the standard and unfortunately for them we now know how good they can play as a team and they have got to do that as often as they can.
"There will be a couple of dips I'm sure, but they have got to reach that standard as often as they can."

IcedOver wrote: In the new series, Part 5, the credits misspell Amy Shiels name as "Amie".
They also misspelled Wendy Robie's name as "Wendie Robie" in Part 12, and Tammie Baird was spelled "Tammy Baird" in Part 6.
And it looks like either Cooper's room or the corridor is moving around. In some parts of the corridor the walls have complete wood paneling, other parts of the corridor have half wood paneling and half blue wallpaper. When Cooper was shot in episode 7, there is complete wood paneling on the wall opposite of Cooper's room, but at the beginning of episode 8, when he is lying on the floor, it is half wood paneling and half blue wallpaper. Another goof in this scene: the fish on Cooper's wall is missing in episode 7.
I think at the beginning of episode 8 when Cooper is signing the waiter's bill with a retractable pen, the tip is retracted. At first there is a shot in which you can see the pen's tip (picture 1), but after the cut you can't see the tip (picture 2) and the pen in picture 3 is too close to the paper, so I don't think the tip is extended. Moreover, after he signed the paper, it looks like there isn't even a signature in the place where he "signed" (picture 4).
It looks like they corrected that one, at least in the version of Part 5 on Sky Germany her name is spelled Amy.
In Part 13, when Anthony watches Dougie walk into the glass door, there is an editing and continuity mistake when the shot changes from Dougie to Anthony and then back to Dougie. In the left corner of the screen you can see the same guy walk to the door twice and two women in the background are standing closer to the left than before.
But you know that's a deliberate signal that there's some kind of temporal loop happening, right? Future, past, yadda.
In episode 3 of season 1 there is a reversed close shot of Audrey at the funeral. It might have been deliberately reversed because it is followed by a close shot of Cooper looking to the other side and this way it looks like they are smiling at each other, but I always find it distracting that Sherilyn's mole and (parting of the hair) are on the wrong side.

"Love at First Height" is the second segment of the 59th episode of The Fairly OddParents.
The Turner family is going to Adrenaland, and they left early to get a good parking space. Chester and A.J. are also along for the ride. Everyone is fast asleep, even Mr. Turner who is driving while asleep at the wheel and mumbling about Dinkleberg. Mr. Turner presses down onto the gas and the car speeds through a construction site, a guillotine factory, narrowly avoiding aliens and a purple Incredible Hulk look-a-like at Area 51, and then over a cliff and directly into the middle of the Adrenaland amusement park, the car landing right on top of the Dinklebergs. Everyone cheers and exits the car, Mr. Turner tells Timmy and his friends to meet them back at the car at five o'clock, and all three are gone as soon as he finishes his sentence. Mrs. Turner remarks Timmy never moves that fast when he needs to do his chores.
Sixteen year old body.. ten year old brain.. Timmy is a super model!
A nearby attendant gets Mr. and Mrs. Turner's attention by bringing them over to a Missing Child Booth. Mrs. Turner remarks that their child isn't missing, and the attendants yell "And that's the password!" and pull a lever, plunging Timmy's parents through a hole in the ground and onto a sofa that moves along a rail, bringing them into Adult Land, which Mr. Turner greets as a "kid-less adult paradise", to which the attendants tell them that should be their slogan. Mr. and Mrs. Turner say cheers and toast their drinks. Back inside the amusement park, a park attendant is letting elderly/high-blood pressure people onto the biggest roller coaster in the park with no problem, but when Timmy and his friends try to get on, they are quickly stopped and turned away when they fail to meet the height requirement. The park attendant tells them they should try the Snail-Go-Round or It's a Dull World, boring rides for little kids.
Timmy yells "This reeks!" while inside Adult Land, his father yells "This so does not reek!" which an attendant tells him makes another great slogan. Mr. and Mrs. Turner are getting facials and manicures, and have forgotten all about Timmy. At the roller coaster, Timmy tries to meet the height requirement with plastic cups on his feet, but he still is nowhere close to being tall enough and falls flat on his face. A.J. makes a calculation and says that none of them will be tall enough to ride the Heartstopper until they are sixteen years old. Chester brought an emergency tall kid kit, a trench coat and mustache which he uses to make him and A.J. tall and adult-like with A.J. standing on his shoulders. The park attendant that took Timmy's parents away earlier comes to Chester/A.J. and thinks he is a real adult and "lost his kid", and hen A.J. says not, he and Chester get sent down in the hole into Adult Land, leaving Timmy alone with no one to be miserable with.
Cosmo and Wanda appear disguised as park attendants wearing organ suits, Cosmo is a kidney, and Wanda is a pancreas. Timmy says he does not want to wait until puberty to ride the Heartstopper, so he wishes he had the body of a sixteen year old. The wish makes Timmy older and into a buff supermodel (because he still has the brain of a ten year old), and he runs off to ride the Heartstopper. Some kids come over and cheer at Cosmo's costume, while scoffing Wanda because the pancreas is not even a vital organ. Chester and A.J. land in Adult Land next to Timmy's parents at a buffet, and A.J. reminds them that they need to meet with Timmy at five o'clock before dropping his mustache and nearly giving himself away when Chester reaches out and grabs it. At the Heartstopper rollercoaster, Timmy makes his way through the line and gets a seat easily because the attendant needs a single rider.
Timmy takes a seat in the roller coaster cart and the female rider next to him starts flirting with him, he yells "GAH!!" when he realizes it's Vickyasking for his name. Vicky asks "What kind of name is Gah?" and Timmy thinks fast and replies its Norwegian. Vicky finds him hunky and thinks he is a Norwegian super model, the top two requirements for her dream man. The ride starts and Vicky tells Gah to hang onto her tight, which he replies in disgust "Why would I hang onto you?", so Vicky takes out scissors and cuts his safety restraints as the cart reaches the top of the roller coaster, and he has to grab a hold of Vicky to survive as the roller coaster plunges back into the Earth's atmosphere. The cart reaches an abrupt stop at the end, and two shock paddles appear and shock Timmy/Gah and Vicky. Gah runs off while Vicky pledges to follow him until she founds someone richer and better looking.
"Gah" clinging for dear life to Vicky, who cut his restraints.
Timmy/Gah runs into the hall of mirrors while Vicky laughs hysterically and chases him. She watches Gah change shape on the mirrors to resemble Timmy and says "Buck tooth and pink hat on a kid? Eww. Buck teeth and pink hat on a Norwegian male supermodel? "Yay!". Timmy runs up to a kidney and pancreas and yells that he doesn't want to be sixteen anymore, but it isn't Cosmo and Wanda in the suits, it is another park attendant whole remarks that at least Timmy is a super model and not a guy in a costume. Vicky catches up with him, and pulls Gah off to the bumper cars. Another girl comes up to Timmy/Gah to get an autograph for her Gah calender, and Timmy remarks "I have a calender?". Vicky smashes the girl away, yelling "He's MINE!". Timmy crashes the bumper car through the wall and drives off, returning a second to sign the girl's calender. Back inside Adult Land, Mr. and Mrs. Turner are enjoying a mud bath, while Chester/A.J. are lying on a bed getting a massage. The attendant is beating on Chester's head and says that he has quite a lump and should take off his coat. A.J. stutters and then his mustache falls off again, the park attendants suspect him and pull the coat off, revealing Chester and A.J. The adults scream in surprise while the kids run off. Two security guards appear and tell the adults to go back into the park and find their kids. The adults groan at first, until the guards tell them that Gah is inside the park which causes much excitement.
Vicky is still searching for Gah, who is hiding inside a trash can. Timmy realizes he has to find Cosmo and Wanda quickly since it is almost five o'clock and he must meet up with his parents soon. Timmy finds Cosmo and Wanda, but they cannot change him back in public and with Vicky chasing him, so Timmy has an idea. He and Vicky go into the tunnel of love, and Timmy must brave a smooch from Vicky who screams in disgust when Timmy is changed back to normal while inside the tunnel, and she realizes she was kissing Timmy. Vicky demands to know where Gah is, and Timmy says that he went back to "Norwegia" (Norway). Vicky gets a snow sled with dogs and arctic gears and sets out to "Norwegia" in search of Gah. Chester and A.J. are cornered by security in Adult Land, and told that they can never speak of this place, because if they do: They won't get to keep spring-pulled talking Gah dolls. The guard pulls the string and the Gah doll says "I have a calender?". Chester and A.J. eagerly accept the deal and the dolls. They are sent back into the amusement park. Timmy, his friends, and parents meet up back at their car, Chester and A.J. are swooning over their Gah dolls, Mr. and Mrs. Turner are upset they missed meeting Gah. Wanda and Cosmo appear as floating organ balloons, Wanda is about to tell Timmy that she hoped he learned his lesson and Timmy interrupts her saying that he actually had a good day, he got to experience puberty, ride on the best roller coaster, and he got rid of Vicky. Timmy then wonders where Vicky is.
Vicky is on her sled in an arctic region, crying that she lost her super model, when a polar bear appears and tells her "And that's the password!" before sending her down into a hole in the ground via a lever.

«Варшавская мелодия» — фильм-спектакль, снятый Центральным телевидением в 1969 году.

В основе фильма — одноимённый спектакль по пьесе Леонида Зорина, поставленный режиссёром Рубеном Симоновым в Государственном академическом театре имени Вахтангова. В спектакле участвовали только два актёра — Юлия Борисова и Михаил Ульянов.

Содержание

Декабрь 1946 — февраль 1947 года
Москва. Декабрь 1946-го. Виктор впервые в жизни попадает в консерваторию на концерт Шопена. В зале его соседкой оказывается девушка, которая настаивает, чтобы он освободил место: сюда должна прийти её подруга. Виктор поясняет, что подруга не придёт — она продала ему билет на улице.

Молодые люди знакомятся. Виктор рассказывает, что его будущая специальность — винодел. Гелена сообщает, что приехала из Польши учиться музыке — она станет «камеральной певицей».

Первое свидание Виктор назначает Гелене на углу Герцена и Огарёва. Денег на то, чтобы пригласить девушку в ресторан, у студента нет, и он предлагает ей пойти в кино. Геля вздыхает: «Меня отец предупреждал: с кино всё начинается».

Перед новым годом Виктор приходит к Гелене в общежитие. Прежде чем отправиться в гости, молодые люди обмениваются подарками: Геля преподносит своему другу галстук, он ей — новые туфли. Пока девушка переодевается в праздничное платье, Виктор, накануне разгружавший вагоны, засыпает. Геля, увидев это, снимает новые туфли и цветок с платья и бесшумно ждёт, когда он проснётся.

Виктор просыпается уже после боя курантов. Новогоднюю ночь влюблённые проводят вдвоём. Гелена исполняет старую польскую песню «Страшне чен кохам», что означает «Страшно люблю». Виктор предлагает девушке выйти за него замуж.

Свадебные планы разрушает указ от 15 февраля 1947 года, запрещающий советским гражданам браки с иностранцами. Гелена просит Виктора что-нибудь придумать, он обещает, но выхода не находит.

Осень 1957 года
Виктор приезжает в Варшаву. Из гостиницы он звонит Гелене и назначает ей встречу на углу Свентокшиской и Нового Свята.

За 10 лет в жизни героев многое изменилось. Виктор уехал жить в Краснодар, женился, защитил диссертацию. У Гелены тоже есть спутник жизни — музыкальный критик. Сама она стала певицей, но ни разу не приехала на гастроли в Советский Союз, потому что боялась встречи с Виктором. Все эти годы, бывая в Кракове, она оставляла записки королеве Ядвиге с просьбой: «Святая Ядвига, верни мне его».

Расставание мучительно для обоих. Виктор признаётся: «Так сложилась жизнь. А жизни надо смотреть в лицо. И если я стараюсь сейчас не заорать, это не значит, что мне это просто».

Май 1967 года
Прибыв в Москву в очередную командировку, Виктор отправляется в консерваторию на концерт Гелены. Встреча героев происходит в гримёрке во время антракта. Виктор теперь доктор наук, у него своя лаборатория. Он дарит Гелене бутылку созданного им вина со множеством медалей. С женой они расстались, детей нет.

Гелена тоже успешна, она много гастролирует, в ближайшие дни её ждут в Ленинграде, Киеве, Баку. Пан музыкальный критик исчез, как и прочие её мужья, не выдержавшие «атмосферных колебаний».

Гелена говорит, что время идёт, и молодые люди уже женятся на иностранках. Потом спохватывается — ей пора на сцену.

Вечером Виктор стоит на углу Герцена и Огарёва и размышляет о том, что завтра — отчаянно трудный день, в Москве ему вечно не хватает времени. И это хорошо, что его не хватает.

История создания
Пьеса Леонида Зорина, изначально называвшаяся «Варшавянка», была написана в 1967 году. Рубен Симонов, начав репетиции на сцене театра имени Вахтанова, столкнулся с противодействием цензоров, которые отказывались ставить гриф «разрешено» до тех пор, пока из спектакля не уберут информацию об указе от 15 февраля 1947 года. Режиссёру всё же удалось сохранить ключевые фрагменты пьесы, но её название пришлось поменять — спектакль назвали «Варшавской мелодией».

В своей книге «Работаю актёром» Михаил Ульянов вспоминал, что «он (Симонов) смотрел влюблёнными глазами на Юлию Борисову. Одну репетицию, которая вдруг пошла импровизационно-раскованно, сцену в музее, когда Виктор, влюбленный в прелестную Гелю, думает не о музейных редкостях, а о том, как бы поцеловать её, он буквально прохохотал. Счастье творчества его пьянило».

Эта постановка стала последней в творческой биографии Рубена Симонова. Фильм-спектакль «Варшавская мелодия», снятый Центральным телевидением в 1969 году, режиссёр уже не увидел.

Отзывы
По мнению критиков, в этом спектакле «Рубен Симонов не изменил поэтическому настрою своего дарования, но мучительные размышления о моральной деградации общества не могли не привести его к горькому осознанию неправедности происходящего».

Отдельно рецензентами отмечалась актёрская работа Юлии Борисовой.

Здесь не только идеальное проникновение в стихию чужого языка. Изысканность и музыкальность, артистизм польского акцента (и польской пластики, жизненной грации) переданы актрисой упоённо, вдохновенно. Здесь — проникновение в иную природу души, с иной мерой свободолюбия. У Гелены — неискоренимой, на грани смертельного риска и безумия многолетней молитвой перед Святой Ядвигой — вернуть возлюбленного, если люди помочь не могут. Тогда как русский её избранник, смело воевавший на войне, «победитель» Виктор (его характерно точно играл Михаил Ульянов) смирился с грозными обстоятельствами разорванного новой враждой послевоенного мира.

Have you ever considered why exercise is easier in certain times of the year? Or how our exercise habits vary across the seasons? Today's blog will explore our motivation to exercise and identifying barriers that may be affecting our exercise regime.
What things do you associate with winter; hot chocolates, curled up by the fire, comfort food and watching movies? Well this is not uncommon. Perhaps the real question lies in, what are some strategies to overcome these habits and barriers?
Indoor exercise – consider indoor heated swimming pool, home exercise program using a resistance band or your own body weight, a gym or gym classes.
A common myth is "I have a cold, so I shouldn't exercise." In some cases, exercise is contraindicated but often, gentle exercise can be healthy when we are fighting a cold.
Am I on anti-biotics or prescribed medication?
'I don't want to exercise while I'm on holidays', or 'I won't have access to any exercise equipment' are common statements I hear from clients. If exercise is a meaningful part of your life, you will always find a way to incorporate it into your lifestyle. But for others, their motivation for exercise is not intrinsic. In these instances, simply walking can be the most convenient option. For example, if you are travelling, walking is a great way to sightsee or a means of transport. Remember, exercise doesn't always have to be planned or structured.
Increase your incidental activity – have you done 10,000 steps today?

Step away from the vending machine! We have 4 tips to help you stay healthy during office hours.
As you peer down at your computer screen, you can't help but notice that the office is relatively empty. You then hear that famous song, and realize that the entire office celebrating someone's birthday… yet again.
With these break room festivities come delicious frosted cupcakes, creamy ice cream cake, and other unhealthy choices. Doughnuts and coffee, pizza for the entire department…those treats add up quickly.
While celebrating birthdays, company anniversaries, new babies and promotions is a great way to break up the monotony of your work day, it can come at a price to your diet. Luckily, there are some ways to partake in the fun, without breaking your calorie bank.
While this tip may sound boring, water is a craving cure. Oftentimes, people who think they're hungry are actually just thirsty, so making a trip to the water fountain and refilling your water bottle may actually help you curb your munchies. If you think water is boring, you can steep some herbal tea or throw in lemons, limes or cucumbers to make hydrating more interesting.
You most likely have multiple desk drawers, right? Well, designate one of them for snacks. There is nothing worse than trying to get work done with all you can think about are the candies in a bowl on a co-workers' desk. If you bring your own good-for-you-treats such as almonds, Gobi berries, apples or even a few dark chocolate Hershey's kisses, you most likely won't hear those mini Reese's Peanut Butter Cups calling your name.
What would you rather have? Scrambled eggs, whole-wheat toast and fresh berries, or a stale granola bar from the vending machine? Of course, you'd rather have the complete meal. And it's best choice because it is a balanced meal of carbohydrates, protein and a little fat. This macronutrient combination is known to suppress your hunger for far longer than a sugar-filled goodie from your office snack machine. So take a little time each morning to prepare your own special breakfast, and you'll stay full until lunchtime.
When the phrase, "so little time, so much to do" becomes your norm, you typically forgo your midday meal. This is a recipe for disaster because you'll most likely break into the stash of snacks in the break room or pull out money for the vending machine. Instead, try planning out mini meals at home that you can take to work with you and eat while getting the job done. After all, going to the vending machine takes up more time than pulling a go-to snack out from your bag or desk drawer. Try stashing half an avocado, a little hummus and carrots and bell pepper sticks in little plastic bags. Or, try some cut-up fruit or high-protein Greek yogurt. All of these foods are easily transportable and are delicious plain or sprinkled with a little salt, cinnamon or a teaspoon of peanut butter.
So the next time a co-worker brings in a cake for a birthday celebration, or some warm poppy-seed muffins for breakfast, you'll be fully prepared to take them on with a full and happy belly that doesn't need any unhealthy food.

1 Job continued to speak.
'People know how to dig under the ground to find silver.
And they know how to heat gold to remove all the dirt from it.
2 They understand how to get iron from under the ground.
And they know how to choose the stones that they can get copper from.
3 They look for these metals in places that are deep under the ground.
They take lights with them that help them to see in the dark.
4 They dig a very deep hole that is far from towns or cities.
They work alone. And they hang on strong lines to help them climb down into the hole.
5 We grow our food in the fields.
But deep under the ground there is fire.
6 Sapphires come from the rocks deep under the ground.
And among the stones there, people can find pieces of gold.
7 People go to places where birds have never been.
And they find things that birds have never seen.
8 Wild animals do not walk there.
And lions do not go there.
9 Men break into the hard rock.
And they look beneath the mountains.
10 They dig through the rock.
And they discover stones that are very valuable.
11 They look in the places where rivers start.
And they bring into the light the things that they find there.
12 But people do not know where they can find wisdom.
Nor do they know where they can learn to be wise.
13 People do not understand that it is good to be wise.
And in none of the places where people live can anyone find wisdom.
14 No one will find wisdom in the sea.
Even in the deepest sea, no one will find it.
15 You cannot buy wisdom, even if you are very rich.
You may have lots of gold and silver, but you cannot buy wisdom.
16 Wisdom is worth more than all the gold that comes from Ophir.
It is worth more than onyx or sapphires.
17 Neither a gold cup nor a beautiful glass is as valuable as wisdom.
If you sold all your gold, you still could not buy wisdom.
18 Coral and jasper are not as valuable as wisdom.
The price of it is more than the price of rubies.
19 Topaz from Cush is not as valuable as wisdom.
28:19In verse 6, the writer speaks about 'sapphires.' And in verses 16 to 19, he speaks about 'onyx,' 'sapphires,' 'coral,' 'jasper,' 'rubies' and 'topaz.' These are all things like stones. But these things are valuable. They are like stones that shine. And they have many different colours. People use them, for example, to make rings.
20 'So people know how to do many things.
But they do not know where to find wisdom.
21 Many people live on the earth, but none of them has found wisdom.
Even the birds that fly above the earth cannot see it.
22 People who have died may have heard about wisdom.
But they cannot tell us where we can find it.
23 Only God understands how we can be wise.
And only he knows where we can find wisdom.
24 He knows this because he knows everything.
And he sees everything that happens on the earth.
25 He decided the power of the wind.
And he decided the size of the seas.
26 He tells the rain where it should fall.
And he decides where storms should go.
27 When he had done these things, he thought about wisdom.
He knew that it was valuable. And he said that it was good.
"If you want to live the right way, you must not do wrong things.
If you want to be wise, you should be afraid not to obey me.
