The Fine Art of the Red Border
At many points in its almost 91-year history, TIME has offered up its iconic red border as a canvas, and asked renowned artists to illustrate the top stories of the day. From the striking Roy Lichtenstein pop art that accompanied a June 21, 1968 cover story on "The Gun in America" (see below) to Marc Chagall's self-portrait that began our July 30, 1965 issue, readers have become accustomed to seeing cover images that have been painted, sculpted, collaged and transformed by some of the world's most visionary talents.

Mr. Time
Portrait of Feodor Chaliapin with his son Boris, 1912
Boris Chaliapin (1904–1979) was the son of Russian opera singer Feodor Chaliapin and brother of The Name of the Rose (Jean-Jacques Annaud, 1986) actor Feodor Chaliapin, Jr.
Chaliapan trained as an artist there before journeying to Paris, France to continue his education. Eventually making his way to the United States, he found work with TIME magazine and in 1942 produced his first cover for them of a WWII general. Chaliapan often worked from photographs to create his covers, made with watercolors, tempera, pencil and other materials. Other than his speed and technical skill, Chaliapan was known for his portraits of beguiling starlets like Marilyn Monroe and Grace Kelly.
He was the portrait artist TIME magazine's editors turned to first when they needed a cover in a hurry. As TIME's most prolific artist, he created 413 covers for the publication during his 28-year career, between 1942 and 1970. He could execute excellent likenesses in as little as 12 hours. Week after week, millions of faithful readers recognized Chaliapin's familiar signature on the cover, and his co-workers nicknamed him "Mr. Time."
"Chaliapan," explains National Portrait Gallery curator Jim Barber, "tried to capture the essence of a person and their personality." Though the magazine had contracts with a dozen or so other cover artists, Chaliapan was part of the prominent threesome dubbed the "ABC's" with artists Boris Artzybasheff and Ernest Hamlin Baker. Known for his spot-on likenesses, Chaliapan could also be counted on for a quick turnaround. "Unlike the other cover artists that needed a week or two, Chaliapan… if pressed, he could crank out covers in two or three days," says Barber.
By the end of that career, painted portraits were on their way out for magazine covers. Photographs and more thematic illustrations were being used more frequently. Chaliapan's covers capture a snapshot of the news from days gone by, but also of the news industry itself. His final cover was of President Richard Nixon in 1970.
On May 17, 1963, TIME magazine put James Baldwin on the cover with the story "Birmingham and Beyond: The Negro's Push for Equality." And to create his portrait, the weekly called on artist Boris Chaliapan. Baldwin's intense eyes and pensive expression stared out from newsstands across the country.

THQ Nordic AB proposes to rebrand as Embracer Group
Vikki Blake 15th August 2019	Business
THQ Nordic AB – the holding company that owns publishers such as Koch Media, Deep Silver, Coffee Stain Holding, and THQ Nordic GmbH – is considering changing its name.
A suggestion to rebrand as Embracer Group AB has been proposed on the agenda of an upcoming shareholders meeting, which GI.biz reports is likely to go ahead, with 70 per cent of the company reportedly already in favour of making the amendment.
While the company has not explicitly detailed why it's making the change, it's thought the rebrand may be to distinguish it from its subsidiary publisher, THQ Nordic GmbH, perhaps following its subsidiary's decision to host an "Ask Me Anything" (AMA) session on the 8chan website – a site banned from Google for grossly offensive material, including child pornography and hate speech – was almost universally condemned by the industry. THQ Nordic CEO and co-founder, Lars Wingefors, was forced to give his "sincerest apologies and regret for THQ Nordic's interaction with the controversial website 8chan".
A subsequent statement prepared by PR and marketing director, Philipp Brock – who said he "personally agreed" to work with 8chan – acknowledged he had not done "due diligence to understand the history and the controversy of the site", but prior references to the site's "nasty stuff" contradicted these claims.
THQ Nordic also announced earlier this week it has acquired Darksiders developer Gunfire Games for an undisclosed sum. The deal sees THQ Nordic acquire the rights to all IPs, including the studio's upcoming game, Remnant: From the Ashes, which is expected to release as planned next week. Gunfire, which is currently based in Austin, Texas, will retain its 63 staff and continue to operate with David Adams as CEO.
Its indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary Koch Media also this week announced it is acquiring racing specialist studio, Milestone, for €44.9 million in cash. The agreement will see Koch acquire the development studio and all intellectual property rights.

Q: Monitoring AWS account spends I am planning to build a dashboard to monitor the AWS expenditure, after googling I realized AWS has no API so that developers can hook and build an app to get the real time data. Is there any way to achieve it. Kindly help me out

A: I believe, you are looking to monitor current AWS usage.
AWS provides optoins for same through "AWS programmatic billing access".
Once you enable it, AWS will upload csv file of your current usage every few hours to specified S3 bucket.
You need to write a program using your favourite programming language AWS S3 SDK to download and parse csv file and get real time data.
Newvem has a very good set of How to Guides available to work with AWS.
One of the guide
http://www.newvem.com/how-to-set-up-programmatic-billing-access-for-your-aws-account/
talks about enabling programmatic billing access.
Also refer, http://www.newvem.com/how-to-track-costs-of-amazon-s3-cloud-objects/ , this talks about how to track cost of Amazon S3.
2) As mentioned by Mike, AWS also provides a way where you can get billing alert using Cloudwatch.
I hope above helps.
I recommend to refer Newvem how to guides to get more insight into AWS and its offerings.
Thanks,
Taral Shah

A: If you're looking to monitor actual spending data, @Taral is correct. AWS Programmatic Billing Access is the best tool for recording the data. However you don't actually have to write a dashboard tool to view it, there are a lot of them out there already.
The company I work for, Cloudability, automatically imports all of your AWS Detailed Billing data and let's you build out all of the AWS spending and usage reports you need without ever having to write any code or mess with any spreadsheets.
If you want to learn more, there's a good blog post at http://blog.cloudability.com/introducing-cloudabilitys-aws-cost-analytics-powered-by-aws-detailed-billing-files/

A: For more information about Cloudwatch enabled monitroing refer
http://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2012/05/10/announcing-aws-billing-alerts/ for more
To learn AWS faster way, refer how to guides of Newvem at
http://www.newvem.com/amazon-cloud-knowledge-center/how-to-guides/
Regards
Taral

A: First thing is to enable detailed billing export to a S3 bucket (see here)
Then I wrote a simplistic server in Python (BSD licenced) that retrieves your detailed bill and breaks it down per service-type and usage type (see it on this GitHib repo).
Thus you can check anytime what your costs are and which services cost you the most etc.
If you tag your EC2 instances, S3 buckets etc, they will also show up on a dedicated line.

A: CloudWatch has an "estimated billing" API, which will get you most of the way there. See this ServerFault question for more detail: https://serverfault.com/questions/350971/how-can-i-monitor-daily-spending-on-aws
If you are looking for more detail you will need to download your CSV-formatted bill and parse it. But your question is too generic to provide any specifically useful answer. Even this will not be real time though.

Malaysia health experts warn of possible fourth Covid-19 wave after Melaka elections
Malaysia's government is prepared to face the eventuality of a fourth wave of Covid-19 infections, said the country's deputy health minister. PHOTO: REUTERS
https://str.sg/3Nhf
PETALING JAYA (THE STAR/ASIA NEWS NETWORK) - In most countries that have reached a 90 per cent vaccination rate, like Malaysia has for its adult population aged above 18, the number of Covid-19 cases will see a downward trend.
However, there is a return of cases in most instances in a U-shaped curve, said Dr Chow Ting Soo, an infectious disease consultant at Penang Hospital.
"This is because of the emergence of stronger variants and variants that are more highly transmissible.
"Besides, immunity conferred by the vaccine will wane after three to six months, which means that even post-vaccination, breakthrough infections are anticipated and expected.
"This is what we are preparing to face as the re-emergence of cases is expected or the so-called fourth wave," he said.
Dr Chow added that if this were to happen, there is a worry that the healthcare system could collapse and possibly impact the economy, which is why booster shots are necessary.
"For those who are more than 40 years old and those above 18 with comorbidities, there is a need for them to go for booster shots," he said.
Dr Chow, who is also Penang state's infection control coordinator, said these jabs were essential to flatten the curve, slow the infection rate and keep the healthcare system from collapsing.
On Tuesday (Nov 23), Malaysian Deputy Health Minister Aaron Ago Dagang said the government was prepared to face the eventuality of a fourth wave of Covid-19 infections in the country following the Melaka state election last Saturday.
He said the effects could be detected only after 10 to 14 days.
"We are monitoring the situation. The government is aware and is ready to face the possibility of the fourth wave happening in the country," he said in response to a question in the Dewan Rakyat, or Lower House, yesterday.
Virologist Kumitaa Theva Das said that if the country's fourth wave were to kick in, there would be another surge in death and hospitalisation rates.
"In Europe, the spike in cases has primarily occurred among the elderly (who received their vaccine shots much earlier in the year) and among kids who are not eligible for inoculation," she said, adding that the government did not want this to occur in Malaysia.
"The immediate concern is how much longer can the healthcare system cope if there is an increase in Covid-19 cases. When we saw record-high cases in the middle of the year, many hospitals were pushed to the brink, and we don't want to see that happening again.

"According to data on CovidNow, there has been an increase in deaths in Kedah, Melaka, Penang, Negri Sembilan and Terengganu in the past two weeks.
"There has also been an increase in hospitalisation in Johor, Kelantan, Pahang and Penang, and an increase in cases in Kedah, Kelantan and Melaka.
"With cases rising in many states, it is important to remember to practise the SOP (standard operating procedure)," said Dr Kumitaa.
Dr Venugopal Balakrishnan, a lecturer in molecular medicine at Universiti Sains Malaysia's Institute for Research, said that if another Covid-19 wave were to occur, more infections from variants of concern such as the Delta strain and others might occur.
"We will see a rise in the number of cases. This situation may end up in another movement control order (MCO) or targeted MCO.
"When there is an increase in cases, there will be consequences such as hospital beds being fully utilised and an increase in ICU (intensive care unit) usage. The economy will also be affected," he said.

Dr Venugopal added that Malaysia has experienced three Covid-19 waves.
The first wave started when the first case was reported on Jan 25 last year, but the number of cases subsequently went down.
The second wave started with the Sri Petaling cluster, which saw the first MCO being implemented on March 18, 2020.
The MCO brought the number of Covid-19 cases down gradually and on June 10, the recovery MCO was implemented.
The third wave kicked in on Sept 8, 2020, mainly due to the Sabah election and Tembok cluster.

This 10-chapter volume encompasses contributions from a wide spectrum of Earth science disciplines, including geophysics, geodynamics, geochemistry, and petrology, to provide an overview of the nature and evolution of the crust-mantle and lithosphere-asthenosphere boundaries in different tectonic settings, combining studies that exploit different types of data and interpretative approaches. The integration of geochemical, geophysical, and geodynamic data sets and their interpretation provides a state-of-the-art summary of current understanding, and will serve as a blueprint for future research activities.
International Kimberlite Conferences (IKCs) are special events that are held across the world once in four to five years. IKC is the confluence platform for academicians, scientists and industrial personnel concerned with diamond exploration and exploitation, petrology, geochemistry, geochronology, geophysics and origin of the primary diamond host rocks and their entrained xenoliths and xenocrysts (including diamond) to get together and deliberate on new advances in research made in the intervening years. Ever since the organization of first IKC in 1973 and its tremendous success, the entire geological world eagerly look forward to subsequent such conferences with great enthusiasm and excitement. The scientific emanations from IKCs continue to make significant impact on our understanding of the composition, nature and evolution of the planet we live on. The previous conferences were held at Cape Town (1973), Santa Fe, New Mexico (1977), Clermont-Ferrand, France, (1982), Perth, Western Australia (1987), Araxa, Brazil (1991), Novosibirsk, Russia (1995), Cape Town (1998), Victoria, Canada (2003) and Frankfurt, Germany (2008). The 10th IKC was held at Bangalore, India between 5th and 11th February 2012. The conference was organized by the Geological Society of India in association with the government organizations, academic institutions and Indian diamond mining companies. About 300 delegates from 36 countries attended the conference and 224 papers were presented. The papers include 78 oral presentations and 146 poster presentations on following topics: Kimberlite geology, origin, evolution and emplacement of kimberlites and related rocks, petrology and geochemistry of metasomatised lithospheric mantle magmas, diamond exploration, cratonic roots, diamonds, diamond mining and sustainable developments and policies and governance of diamond exploration. Pre- and post-conference field trips were organized to (i) the diamond bearing kimberlites of Dharwar Craton in South India, (ii) lamproites of Bundelkhand Craton in northern India and (iii) diamond cutting and polishing industry of Surat, Gujarat in western India. A series of social and cultural programmes depicting cultural diversity of India were organized during the conference. The Kimberlite fraternity enjoyed yet another socially and scientifically successful conference.


Nevermind, found it. If anyone else needs it let me know.
I can't wait to put my new seat skins on! Gotta get her leak proof first and get the interior in and ain't no silicone gonna cure in this weather.
That article is different from the one I remember, which was black & white IIRC.
It has the zip tie tricks, which work great. One coveat: if your rubber seat bottom has started to tear, you won't be able to use fender washers. Ran into that on #5939 and had to make a larger metal plate from a piece of sheet metal the shop happened to have on hand (I recovered my seats at a DMA Spring Social). When we recovered Louie Jugeau's seats last fall I made metal plates for all of them just in case (his rubbers were all fine).
I also recommend putting a plastic shopping bag over the headrest foam. Seat cover slips right over. Fit is *SO* tight you'll never know the plastic bag is in there. Tom Neiland introduced me to that trick.
And use zip ties as handles to pull the back bolster ribs through the foam -- makes it much easier. You'll still fasten them with hog rings -- zip ties are only for pulling the ribs through the foam.
Also using a zip tie gun makes the necks easier.

Q: What is the difference between "destruction" and "deconstruction"? I am Hungarian, and I can completely understand the words destruction, construction, and deconstruction, although the corresponding Hungarian words are rarely used. I don't know if the con- possesses any meaning there, please explain the situation to me.

A: Destruction is the act of destroying something; rendering it unusable, unrepairable, broken into unusable fragments.
Deconstruction is the act of taking something apart, down to its most basic pieces.  (A more common word would be disassembly.)
"Deconstruction" can also be used to refer to the theory or process behind "deconstructionism", which is "a philosophical theory of criticism (usually of literature or film) that seeks to expose deep-seated contradictions in a work by delving below its surface meaning".

GI looking to reclaim Kangaroos spot
Margie McDonald NRL.com Senior Reporter
Sun 24 Feb 2019, 04:01 PM
If Greg Inglis gets his wish he will end his stellar representative career with his 40th appearance in a Kangaroos jersey.
Inglis announced in the off-season that 2019 would be his last playing for Queensland and Australia. He will then play his final NRL season in 2020 with the South Sydney Rabbitohs.
He has already missed out on a sixth Indigenous All Stars jumper due to a late start to his preparations because of off-season surgeries.
However, the 32-year-old is on course to play his last three Origin games in June and July, taking him to a tally of 35.
Then he is aiming to regain his spot in the Australian team for the October end-of-season internationals. He currently sits on 39 caps with Reg Gasnier and Johnny Raper.
But first Inglis knows he has work to do in restoring his standing in the game.
Being charged with drink-driving and speeding last October led to Inglis losing the Test captaincy and missing the New Zealand and Tonga games last year.
His final court appearance was in January where Inglis was handed an 18-month good behaviour bond.

"I need to get the respect of my peers and the younger generation coming through," Inglis said.
"[Test coach] Mal [Meninga] always said he would pick the people in the best form and in their best position.
"I've obviously got to earn that respect back from Mal, the NRL and from the selectors as well."
Inglis will have competition. Premiership-winning fullback James Tedesco is the incumbent No.1 while Latrell Mitchell, Will Chambers and perhaps James Roberts might have something to say about the centre positions.
"Look in the end it's what Mal wants, and the selectors want, and I'll just go with that," said Inglis, who nonetheless is lethal in any Australian line-up. He has 31 tries in his 39 games so far.
But his brush with the law recently has given him insight to what the public and the game's hierarchy expect from players.
The spate of bad behaviour makes Inglis determined to do what he can as a statesman of the game.
"As senior players in the game I think we need to educate the generations coming through," he said.
"The RLPA is doing what they can to help players out. They are going around the clubs and talking about player behaviour.
"We shouldn't be talking about this. We should be talking about games coming up, guys playing important trials. But before we know it we will be talking about round one and not the off-field dramas.

"I've been through it … that kind of ordeal. I've had my punishment handed to me and I've accepted it.
"As I've said before I have to earn respect back from the members, the fans of the game, form the game itself, my teammates and peers.
"I'm really working on myself and making the right choices.
"So whatever the NRL and ARL Commission comes up with next week [meeting on February 28], they're the ones which set the rules, who run the game so that's what we'll be doing."

This rendition is based on the original modifications built by Hyno Designs.
After years of laying in waste, it was decided to go back and complete this truly remarkable design concept by Bullaguard. Matching up the overall Bullaguard terrain work with core fundamentals and design style of Hyno Designs.


This PhD thesis investigates lexicosyntactic features in writings in Norwegian L1 by 60 16- year-old pupils written using two different writing tools: hand-writing and typing. Its methodological approach is corpus-based and statistical, and its theoretical foundations are mainly those of theories of complexity and register variation.
The main focus of the thesis is on the analysis of 5 lexical and 8 syntactic variables. The lexical variables are average word-length, average word-length in lexical words, lexical density, global TTR and local TTR, both adjusted or neutralised for text-length. The syntactic variables are t-unit length, clause length, frequency of short subclauses, number of prepositional phrases per clause, number of adverbial subclauses per clause, number of subclauses per t-unit, ratio of t-units with a short frontal constituent and frequency of attributive adjectives. All these are analysed using anova on four pupil features, which are gender, general writing skills, total text length of the two texts and ratio of text lengths in the two texts. Ten of the variables are included in an overall principal component analysis.
Some variables seem unaffected by the writing tool. This applies to average clause length and frequency of attributive adjectives.
Some variables display a shift in the direction of more spontaneous, "oral" features in the typed texts. This applies to subclause frequency and perhaps average t-unit length.
Some variables have different properties in boys' and girls' writings; they display more spontaneous features in the typed texts written by girls and more planned or edited features in the typed texts written by boys. This applies to average word-length, average word-length in lexical words, global TTR and ratio of short frontal constituents.
Some variables have different properties in the writings of pupils who write considerably longer texts when typing compared to the writings of pupils who write texts of approximately equal lengths with both writing tools. The former pupils have more planned or edited features in their typed texts, whereas the latter pupils have more spontaneous features in their typed texts. This applies to local TTR, global TTR and ratio of adverbial clauses.
The principal component analysis confirms the two effects splitting the sample of pupils in terms of gender and production length.
In addition, some variables display types of patterns which do not fit neatly into any of the four categories above, namely average t-unit length (longer in typed texts), ratio of short subclauses (complex interactions of several pupil-related factors), lexical density (interactions of two pupil-related factors), frequency of prepositional phrases (higher in typed texts by productive writers, lower in typed texts by terse writers), and ratio of short frontal constituents (interactions between difference in text length and gender).
An important goal of the project was the further development of methods for this kind of study based on statistical stylistics. As part of the study, several lexical variables are constructed, compared and evaluated with respect to reliability and validity, among these entropy-based lexical distribution measures and frequency-based measures termed logarithmic frequency index. Also, emphasis has been put on investigating what relevant and valid textual or linguistic features are possible to extract from a corpus using a combination of automatic procedures and a limited extent of manual procedures, namely the manual segmentation of the texts into t-units and clauses, and correction of orthography and punctuation.

If you have delicate, expensive or highly calibrated items that need protecting during storage, transit or handling, or experiencing damages to equipment, Peli cases with custom foam inserts provide a high performance solution.
Peli cases offer exceptional water resistance, strength and durability. Also known as Pelican cases, when combined with custom foam inserts they protect your tools and equipment from anything you can throw at them!
01: Key Benefits of Peli Cases.
Why should you use Pelican Cases?
Put simply, Pelican or Peli cases are the original (and many would argue best) waterproof cases. This not only means they have built up an extensive loyal army of users, but have been tested, customised and trusted for over 50 years. Constant development also means they offer a wide range of features and benefits.
02: Why use Peli Cases?
Peli Cases, established since 1967, are both the original and best selling waterproof cases. In fact, Pelican recorded global sales of more than $400 million across their product range in 2015 – so why not join thousands of people already benefiting from the highest levels of protection?
Working alongside GWP Protective, you can customise a wide range of protective cases with engineered foam inserts, including the extensively used and market leading Peli Cases.
GWP Protective are one of the selected official UK distributors for the Peli Case range, offering you a market leading, IP rated waterproof case solution.
Peli has become renowned in the protective case industry for manufacturing the toughest products available – a reputation earned and enhanced over more than 3 decades.
The level of protection and quality offered by the Peli range of protective cases has made Peli the leading protective case for a broad selection of industries and professions.
In fact, the range has become so successful that it has led to the creation of other protective case brands (a number manufactured by Pelican themselves).
This includes the Peli Hardigg manufactured Storm Cases, Explorer cases and various products from SKB and Nanuk.
Pelican Cases are remarkably tough and hard wearing; constructed from a specialist, structural copolymer resin which is incorporated into the cases' shell.
They also boast a wealth of features that makes them easy to use, reliable and ideal for a huge range of applications.
Every Peli Case features a pressure purge valve to allow equalisation (ideal if submerged or transported by aeroplane), has a neoprene "O" ring in the lid to ensure that the tongue and groove seal remains airtight and waterproof.
Peli cases also benefit from integrated hinges and handles that interlock to form part of the moulding. This makes them almost impossible to break.
These features are complemented by an integral padlock facility, allowing contents to be kept completely secure when in transit.
Besides this they are IP rated, making them a truly dust-proof and waterproof case. This obviously lends them to a wide range of applications, and is also the reason their use is prevalent throughout the military and emergency services.
In fact, Peli Cases are so well known and regarded, that the name is often mistakenly given to other brands!
04: Custom Peli Case Options.
The main benefit to your business of working alongside GWP Protective – when compared to other Peli case stockists and suppliers – is the level of customisation you can specify.
As well as providing the full range of colours and sizes, you can also select Peli bezel kits for mounting electronics in the lid and / or base, plus the entire range of accessories such as straps, organisers and divisions.
However, gaining the highest level of protection will involve the creation of completely bespoke foam inserts, tailored to fit the both the selected Peli case and products to be stored or transported inside perfectly.
This can include creating exact levels of cushioning to eradicate damage and breakages to sensitive or fragile contents in transit, whilst simultaneously offering enhanced presentation, aesthetic appeal and providing ease of use for multi part tooling sets or equipment.
GWP are proud official UK distributors for the Peli Case range, please see below for typical examples and applications of the Peli Case range. Click on the thumbnails for a larger image.
06: Peli Case Size Chart.
GWP Protective are proud to be official distributors of the full range of Peli cases, and would recommend them for almost any application.
However, there may be occasion where factors such as application, market, product size, order volume or even budget means that they may not be the best choice for your business.
If this is the case, GWP can supply you with the widest range of waterproof, aluminium and lightweight plastic cases available from a single source.

Q: How to divide tuples with tuples tup1 = (100,200,300)
tup2 = (2,4,6)

tup = (x/y for x in tup1, y in tup2)

or
so i expected
tup = (50,50,50)

but there comes

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

for that comma

A: Try this :
tup = tuple(int(i/j) for i,j in zip(tup1, tup2))

Output :
(50,50,50)

NOTE :

*

*When you do (x/y for x in tup1, y in tup2) you are trying to create a generator.

*Again (x/y for x in tup1, y in tup2) is not valid double loop operation. You may have tried (x/y for x in tup1 for y in tup2) but again it would create a generator object and even if you mapped it to tuple format it would provide (50.0, 25.0, 16.666666666666668, 100.0, 50.0, 33.333333333333336, 150.0, 75.0, 50.0) - wrong because the way the double loop is operating.

*You need int(x/y) in stead of only i/j because even though i and j are integers, the division operation would turn the result into a floating point.

A: if You are going to work with big numbers, then a more effective way is to use Pandas or NumPy. It is easier and takes less time and resources.
#pandas
import pandas as pd

tup1 = (100,200,300)
tup2 = (2,4,6)

df = pd.DataFrame({'tup1': tup1, 'tup2': tup2} )
df
    tup1    tup2
0   100     2
1   200     4
2   300     6

df['tup1'] / df['tup2']
0    50.0
1    50.0
2    50.0
dtype: float64

#numpy
import numpy as np

tup1 = (100,200,300)
tup2 = (2,4,6)

arr = np.array([tup1, tup2])
arr[0] / arr[1]

array([50., 50., 50.])

The Box (2009) Review
Brendan Frye | Nov 6, 2009
It's about time Richard Kelly got some respect with a big studio release; we all know Donnie Darko got toyed with enough and Southland Tales got shafted (which deserved depending on how you see the matter). The Box stays close to the Kelly formula of equal parts confusion, oddness, atmosphere and puzzlement. Instead of Frank the Bunny, we get a burn-faced Frank Langella making promises of impending doom and incomprehensible pseudo-science, this time taking place in the snowy suburbia of Christmas time 1976 in Virginia. Based on an old episode of The Twilight Zone (80s version, not the classic 60s), The Box, is bound to divide along lines of interest and annoyance in what the viewer sees on screen.
The tile of the film comes from a perfectly innocuous package that arrives on the doorstep of Arthur and Norma Lewis (James Marsden and Cameron Diaz). Inside the box is a wood mounted button covered by a locked glass dome and a note that says Mr. Steward will be by at 5 pm to explain what the deal is. The deal is you press the button and collect a cool million, tax free. Of course, pushing the button will kill some random person on the Earth somewhere, but you don't know them. Or you can always not push the button, not get a million dollars and forget the whole thing as the deal goes to someone else to ponder. Either way, you've got the day to decide.
Like a lot of Twilight Zone segments, the central question is framed like university ethics class: A million dollars is a lot of money you can do a lot with, but can you live with the moral and ethical consequences of someone being killed, no matter how much you don't know them? Someone once asked what harm can come from pushing a button, and this one looks like you push it and all it says is "That was easy," as you order some fine products from Staples. The Box, naturally, takes things a little more seriously. The Lewis' decision to press the button is only the beginning of the story, leading through themes of 70s paranoia, alien possession, the Butterfly Effect, the nature of humanity and thoughts of higher plains of existence. If you know what's going on in the end you're either smarter, or crazier, than I.
But then again, try and explain to me what's going on in Donnie Darko after only one viewing. Shoot, I'm actually not sure if I can after the numerous times I've seen it. The film is intriguing though, and I did find myself enjoying the Rubik's Cube of trying to line up the colours in my head. Whatever his real motivations or purposes are, Langella's Arlington Steward is an interesting character and is played with actor's well pronounced poise and dedication. Similarly, I though Marsden and Diaz played things believably, even if Diaz's put-upon Southern accent occasionally grated on the nerves. It wasn't quite nails on a chalkboard bad, but what the point of that was in the first place, I don't know. Despite that though, there are some fine performances, and you almost believe that they might know what's actually going on.
Frankly, I can understand the reasons why The Box doesn't seem to have many fans, for it can be infuriating for what it doesn't reveal, for what it infers, or what it simply ignores and leaves for you to try and figure out. Then again, a lot of excitable debates take place to this day about the merits of Donnie Darko, and if you ever need to ask yourself "Am I too dumb to get this" just go to IMDB to see the FAQ created for the movie. But back to The Box, which I did find rather interesting and diverting in its own way although I don't think it stays with you the way Darko does. But it's not as disposable as I found Southland Tales to be, and it is, by far, the filmmaker's most refined and stylish effort yet. You may love it, you may not. Either way, it'll be your call.
I can understand the reasons why The Box doesn't seem to have many fans, for it can be infuriating for what it doesn't reveal, for what it infers, or what it simply ignores and leaves for you to try and figure out.

Just as there are many paths to recovery, there are many paths to loving someone who is in active addiction. I am aware of the tactics often used in this situation: codependence, enabling, tough love, rock bottom. I am not offering an opinion on which path to take. Instead I am just sharing the story of my own family.
These are my three favorite words of encouragement. These words have seen me out of dark places and moments of uncertainty. These words bring me back to my center.
The speakers and panelists of the She Recovers LA event were amazing. But it was the attendees – the women who had come to do what Tara Mohr described as "the 'women's work' of our particular moment in history" – that kept the woo woo buzzing around me and through me and left me a little strung out in the best way possible.

Botox was like a shot of tequila for my face – it artificially and temporarily smoothed out my external edges. But now my outsides most definitely do not match my insides. My face displays a false calm while my mind continues to buzz. Serenity eludes me.
Asking for help is the hardest rule to break. What I know now is that asking for help is not an act of weakness and selfishness; instead it is the ultimate act of selflessness and self-care. It is only by recognizing our own needs that we can truly see the needs of others.
For years I saw parenting as a care taking business – a transaction. I was supposed to keep the children safe. They were supposed to provide me with my life's purpose. And this was all part of a rinse and repeat cycle, going back generations.
If your mama has passed away in the more recent past, I want you to know that I am very, very sorry. I remember some of what you are feeling, and most of what you are trying not to feel.

Lk 20:1And on one of the days, as He was teaching the people in the temple and announcing the good news, the chief priests and the scribes with the elders came upon Him,
Lk 20:2And spoke, saying to Him, Tell us by what authority You do these things, or who is the one who gave You this authority?
Lk 20:3And He answered and said to them, I also will ask you one thing, and you tell Me:
Lk 20:4The baptism of John, was it from heaven or from men?
Lk 20:5And they reasoned together among themselves, saying, If we say, From heaven, He will say, Why did you not believe him?
Lk 20:6But if we say, From men, all the people will stone us to death, for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.
Lk 20:7And they answered that they did not know where it was from.
Lk 20:8And Jesus said to them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
Lk 20:9And He began to speak to the people this parable: A certain man planted a vineyard and leased it out to vinedressers and went abroad for a considerable time.
Lk 20:10And at the proper time he sent a slave to the vinedressers so that they might give him some of the fruit of the vineyard; but the vinedressers beat him and sent him away empty-handed.
Lk 20:11And he went on to send another slave, but they beat that one also, and dishonored him, and sent him away empty-handed.
Lk 20:12And he went on to send a third, but that one also they wounded and threw out.
Lk 20:13And the master of the vineyard said, What shall I do? I will send my son, the beloved; they will probably respect this one.
Lk 20:14But when the vinedressers saw him, they reasoned with one another, saying, This is the heir; let us kill him that the inheritance may become ours.
Lk 20:15And they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What then will the master of the vineyard do to them?
Lk 20:16He will come and destroy these vinedressers and will give the vineyard to others. And when they heard this, they said, May it never happen!
Lk 20:17But He looked at them, and said, What then is this that is written, "The stone which the builders rejected, this has become the head of the corner"?
Lk 20:18Everyone who falls on that stone shall be broken to pieces; but on whomever it falls, it shall crush him to powder and scatter him like chaff.
Lk 20:19And the scribes and the chief priests sought to lay hands on Him in that hour; yet they feared the people, for they perceived that it was with them in view that He spoke this parable.
Lk 20:20And they watched Him closely and sent spies who feigned themselves to be righteous, in order that they might lay hold on some word of His, so as to deliver Him up to the rule and authority of the governor.
Lk 20:21And they questioned Him, saying, Teacher, we know that You speak and teach correctly, and do not accept man's person, but teach the way of God in truth.
Lk 20:22Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?
Lk 20:23But He perceived their craftiness and said to them,
Lk 20:24Show Me a denarius. Whose image and inscription does it have? And they said, Caesar's.
Lk 20:25And He said to them, Therefore render the things that are Caesar's to Caesar, and the things that are God's to God.
Lk 20:26And they were not able to lay hold of a saying of His in the presence of the people; and marveling at His answer, they kept silent.
Lk 20:27And some of the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Him and questioned Him,
Lk 20:28Saying, Teacher, Moses wrote for us, If anyone's brother has a wife and dies, and this one is childless, his brother should take the wife and raise up seed to his brother.
Lk 20:29There were then seven brothers. And the first took a wife and died childless;
Lk 20:30And the second;
Lk 20:31And the third took her; and similarly the seven also did not leave children and died.
Lk 20:32Finally the woman also died.
Lk 20:33In the resurrection, therefore, which one's wife does the woman become? For the seven had her as wife.
Lk 20:34And Jesus said to them, The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage,
Lk 20:35But those who are counted worthy to obtain that age and the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage;
Lk 20:36For neither can they die anymore, for they are equal to angels, and they are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.
Lk 20:37But that the dead are raised, even Moses disclosed in the section concerning the thornbush, when he calls the Lord the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.
Lk 20:38Now He is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for to Him all men are living.
Lk 20:39And some of the scribes answered and said, Teacher, You have spoken well.
Lk 20:40For they no longer dared to question Him about anything.
Lk 20:41And He said to them, How is it that they say that the Christ is David's son?
Lk 20:42For David himself says in the book of Psalms, "The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at My right hand,
Lk 20:43Until I set Your enemies as a footstool for Your feet."
Lk 20:44David therefore calls Him Lord, and how is He his son?
Lk 20:45And as all the people were listening, He said to His disciples,
Lk 20:46Beware of the scribes, who like to walk around in long robes, and love greetings in the marketplaces and chief seats in the synagogues and places of honor at the dinners,
Lk 20:47Who devour widows' houses, and for a pretense make long prayers. These shall receive greater judgment.

is that the presentation of sadness in art, the drama, poetry, could please people, and this meant that grief was closer to happiness than people surmised. There are quite a few people listening with satisfaction to music that is sad, and also, tragedy has been enjoyed. The meaning of this is the most hopeful thing in the world.
Aesthetic Realism shows that art has the resolution to the questions of our lives, because in it, the opposites which can confuse us are made one. "Poetry," Mr. Siegel said, "is a great gathering of illustrations that grief with form can please, and music is, too." Explaining that the musical form expressing mourning—the requiem—was never more popular, he spoke of Verdi, Mozart, and Berlioz as composers whose requiems are loved, and also of how something like a requiem can be part of a longer musical composition, as in works of Bach and Chopin.
Ye mountains of Gilboa, let there be no dew, neither lelt there be rain, upon you, nor fields of offerings: . . .
Saul and Jonathan were lovely and pleasant in their lives, and in their death they were not divided: they were swifter than eagles, they were stronger than lions. . . .
Die sheinheit oi Isroyel, iz oif deine hoiche erter der schluhgen gevohren: oi, vi zenen die giboirim gefallen!
I was thrilled by this and wanted to understand it better. In the discussion following the lecture, Chairman of Education Ellen Reiss asked me if I thought grief and anger are different. She explained that anger is thrusting, while grief seems to sink. "For grief and anger to be reconciled," she asked, "would there be a certain oneness of thrust and retreat, force and sinking?" "Yes," I said. Thinking about this has me understand better what I felt when each of my parents died. I am boundlessly grateful to Aesthetic Realism for teaching me, at those important times and now, how to see the opposites in my mother and father, in myself, and in the world in a way that makes me proud—and a large way is through the study of poetry. Aesthetic Realism teaches that the oneness of opposites we are looking for is in every beautiful poetic line; seeing it makes for deep composure and hope.
I am already on the way. . .
To the noise of the mourning of a mighty nation. . .
I'm not sure how much Tennyson really cared for the Duke. He's doing a very good job—but it is a job. The Queen expected something. This is not reprehensible, [but] it is an example of some of the difficulties of official mourning, and requiem by request.
The claim he makes for Keats' immortality could have been laughed at . . . but [he] was right. Keats is immortal. [This] summer, there will be talk of [him] in all the central universities of these states. Shelley took a long chance, but he was right.
is to associate music with sadness in such a way that the world looks somewhat better—this is the meaning of tragedy as beauty. . . .It goes on, because the requiem was never more popular. . . .There is a reason for it, because people are still trying to be faithful to the world which, as world, loves and retains its mystery.
Hearing this lecture was a high point in my life. Mr. Siegel showed, with utter, beautiful conviction, that the world can be liked with all the facts present. This is the greatest cause for joy and hope there is, and every person in the world should know it, now!

Hi. Is there any timescale yet for when the jagged brush stroke issue will be fixed for Wacom cintiq companion users? I first reported this when the beta build was out and I just tried the latest wacom drivers with latest Affinity photo to find the problem still persists. This is not slight wobble from an unsteady hand it is the jagged pixelated jumpy brush stroke that only occurs in affinity photo and photoshop elements for me. All other software works fine with the cintiq companion. Without some kind of brush stabilisation the software is unusable to me as a photoshop replacement for painting and inking. Thanks. previous posts - https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/27924-disappointing-experiences-with-brush-tool/ https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/27428-jagged-brush/ top affinity, bottom photoshop cc. I reduced spacing as much as possible and reduced hardness. Also when my cursor hovers over an area the strokes appear to vibrate almost like marching ants, hard on the eyes.


Self-care is doing activities that reduce stress. It's important for living a healthy, as-calm-as-possible life.
Self-care isn't selfish, it's a way to stay strong.
What makes you feel cared for can be different depending on your mood.
Notice if what you're doing to feel good turns into something negative, like overeating.
Self-care is often needed most when it feels like there's no time for it.
Life is busy and free time is hard to come by. When you're rushing from one place to another, supporting your friends and family, and trying to get everything done, it can be easy to let yourself fall by the wayside. The very idea of self-care can sound silly. After all, how can you take time to paint your nails or read a book when you get off your shift at 11, your best friend just called crying because they broke up with their boyfriend, AND you have a history test tomorrow you haven't studied for?
For many people, the phrase "self-care" can bring up images of bubble baths and pedicures. Treating yourself at the spa can be a great form of self-care, but there's so much more to it. Self-care is doing activities that reduce stress. Practicing self-care is important for living a healthy, as-calm-as-possible life.
Audre Lorde, an activist and self-described 'black, lesbian, mother, warrior, poet', wrote powerful words about self-care: "Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare." This means she said that self-care isn't selfish. It's a way to stay strong and fight outside pressure. Doing so is a conscious decision.
What kind of self-care is right for me?
To decide how to practice self-care, think about what makes you feel good and then try to make time for one self-care activity per day. Maybe it's taking a long shower with good-smelling soaps. Or it's going for a run or having a solo dance party. Maybe it's calling up a good friend. What makes you feel cared for can be different depending on your mood or the day. Cuddling your pet might help you unwind at night, while listening to music might help get you excited for the day. Pay attention to how you feel.
What's the difference between self-care and self-indulgence?
Sometimes, eating a whole box of cookies or spending two hours scrolling through Instagram feels great. And, in moderation, enjoying sweet treats and social media can be a healthy part of a nourishing self-care ritual. It's totally okay to feel pleasure from these activities. But notice if what you're doing to feel good (which is positive) turns into something negative. Are you avoiding important tasks, spending a lot of money, or doing anything that seems fun in the moment but is far from fun later (like missing a deadline over time wasted or feeling sick from overeating)?
Self-care isn't always exciting. Self-care includes tasks like cleaning your room, doing your English assignment or even taking a shower. Taking care of basic needs can feel boring in comparison to watching a funny YouTube video or texting a meme to your friend. When you're stressed (like a big test coming up) it can be tempting to put off these tasks in favor of a more relaxing activity. Doesn't scrolling Facebook on the couch and calling it self-care sound good? Not so fast. Self-care doesn't always have to be productive, but it should help you stay on track with what you have to do so your time is later freed up for what you want to do.
How can I practice self-care? I'm too busy!
Self-care is often needed most when it feels like there is no time for it. With tough stuff like break-ups, troubles at home and school pressure, it feels impossible to schedule in time to take care of yourself. Remember that healthy habits like eating well, getting enough sleep, moving your body, and taking a few moments to calm and center yourself will make a huge difference in how you manage the hard stuff in life.
Plan for moments in your day when you will engage in a self-care activity, just like you would for completing homework, studying, or going to work! You don't need to spend a lot of time or money. It can be discouraging to feel like you need to fit in an hour-long meditation or pay for a fancy yoga class to properly care for yourself. But self-care can be simple. Take a short walk outside. Write down a few things you love about yourself, or look at pictures of cute animals on Instagram. Think of these as necessary measures you must take to restore and strengthen yourself, so that you can face the stress you're experiencing head-on.
It can take some time to figure out what kinds of self-care work best for you. Check out some of these resources for ideas to get started. Here is an awesome text-game for when you're feeling really, really bad and want to feel better. Here is an article on self-care, especially for people of color and other marginalized communities.

You don't need to spend a lot of time or money to practice self-care.
