Ark: Survival of the Fittest brings dinosaur-based esports to PlayStation 4
Jeff Grubb@jeffgrubb
Ark: Survival of the Fittest expands to PS4.
Image Credit: Studio Wildcard
In a perfect world, we would turn on the television on Sundays to watch teams of humans and dinosaurs competing alongside one another. But while reality has denied us this, gaming is picking up the slack.
Studio Wildcard is bringing the esports spinoff of its Ark: Survival Evolved game to PlayStation 4 this summer. Ark: Survival of the Fittest debuts July 19 on Sony's system, and it will bring its massively multiplayer competitive action along with it. In this version of Ark (the standard survival sim is out now for Xbox One and PC), up to 72 people battle over resources and strategic positioning in an ever-shrinking circular arena until only one team remains. As players get their hands on more upgrades, they can build tools and weapons that make it easier to take on their opponents or to tame wild dinosaurs like a T-rex. It is an absurd and amazing spin on games like the multiplayer arena battler League of Legends. Ark: Survival of the Fittest will remain in development as part of Sony's beta program, which means it joins Dungeon Defenders 2 and H1Z1 as unfinished games — often referred to as "early access" — on the PS4.
Wildcard will use this as a way to introduce a whole new audience to Ark while simultaneously growing its competitive community. The studio wants to get people playing casually and professionally, and it is planning to hold monthly cash tournaments for the top players.
The company is also trying to offer a path to PS4 players who are not as familiar with Ark as people who play primarily on PC.
"PlayStation gamers will now get the raw emotional sense of competitive satisfaction that PC gamers have been experiencing, as they wage war to survive and thrive," Studio Wildcard co-creative director Jesse Rapczak said in a statement. "The simple addition of the practice mode means a lot, as PS4 gamers can hone their skills before jumping into the competitive wilds to form tribes, tame T-rexes, and use everything in the Ark sandbox to fight it out."

On Tuesday, September 25th, Jacqueline E. Lawton will join playwrights Bari Biern and Stephen Spotswood in a panel discussion about the Life of a Playwright as part of Round House Theatre's Heyday Players fall master class series.
The Heyday Players is a senior theatre program dedicated to enriching the lives of senior citizens by channeling their tremendous spirit, talent, and life experience into theatrical performance and master classes. Composed entirely of older adults, participates are involved in the selection, direction, rehearsal, and staged-reading performance of theatrical work at a variety of seniors groups and community centers in Montgomery County and the metro DC area.
Heyday Players troupe takes part in master classes in the fall that continue to develop their performance skills. In January, they begin rehearsals and they will perform primarily in May of 2013. This year's performance will be themed on Campfire Stories.

Bury me deep in love is een lied dat werd geschreven door David McComb, de voorman van de Australische band The Triffids. De band bracht het in 1986 uit op een single met Baby can I walk you home op de B-kant.

De single kende in het Australische Kent Music Report nummer 48 als hoogste positie en nummer 34 in de Nieuw-Zeelandse Recorded Music NZ. Verder werd het ook in een groot aantal Europese landen uitgebracht. In 1987 belandde het in De eindafrekening, een jaarlijkse lijst van Studio Brussel van nummers die het in een jaar het beste hebben gedaan.

In 2001 brachten de twee Australische artiesten Kylie Minogue en Jimmy Little als gelegenheidsduo hun versie van het lied uit op het album A journey through the musical landscape Of 21st century Australia.

Faculty drive TRU's first academic freedom statement
Permitting scholars, and hence universities, to pursue and advance knowledge
News Oct. 20, 2021 Kyra Grubb
From their classrooms to research labs, universities are known as places where students and faculty engage in the pursuit of knowledge. Through this pursuit, students and faculty often have healthy debates based on the best knowledge and information available to them. And they do this without fear of censure or reprisal. This, at its most basic level, is what is referred to as academic freedom.
Academic freedom is fundamental to teaching, learning and inquiry at a university. It permits scholars, and hence universities, to pursue and advance knowledge, which serves society.
Such freedom is protected at universities, through policies and labour agreements, but TRU has taken this one step further by developing its own specific statement on academic freedom.
"It was an honour to do this because academic freedom is the heart and soul of our university," said Lauchlan Fraser, a professor with the Faculty of Science, who chaired a working committee of faculty that was charged by TRU President Brett Fairbairn to develop the statement.
Fairbairn specifically left out administrative representation on the committee because he wanted the process to be faculty-led and faculty-driven.
"Academic freedom is of the highest interest and impact to faculty, and I trust through the committee that you will propose a statement that best reflects TRU," Fairbairn said in spring 2019 in addressing faculty when the committee was struck.
While the committee's work was delayed due to the pandemic, its work is now complete with the submission of a final statement. The statement runs four pages, with an additional page for citation.
Fairbairn stated, "[the committee's] work involved consultation with faculty at various stages and has resulted in a distinctive TRU statement, I believe we can all be proud of. It reflects our university's vision and values and acknowledges Indigenous perspectives on academic freedom. With its focus on both curiosity and respectful relations, this statement fits who we are as a university community."
"We took an academic approach to this," said Fraser, referring both to the thoroughness of the research, discussion with faculty, and the statement's length.
Unique to TRU's statement is the prominence and recognition of Indigenous perspectives on academic freedom. This came through the involvement of indigenous scholars at TRU.
"When they shared their thoughts on academic freedom, we recognized how powerful those ideas were and how they reflected what we wanted to develop which is about respect and compassion," said Fraser. "An understanding that there is conflict, differences of opinion, and that we can explore those with respect and humility."
For his part, President Fairbairn said the statement on academic freedom far exceeded his expectations.
"I am deeply impressed with the faculty input and thought that went into the statement. It reflects TRU's values which are built on respectful relations, including respect towards one another and respect for knowledge." The committee has framed the statement as a 'living document' reflecting on the crux of academic freedom. Fraser noted: "As we (as faculty) pursue new and novel thoughts through research and teaching, through that whole process this statement can change over time."

If you've ever wished you could cram your face full of Chunky Monkey or Cake Batter ice cream without ingesting dairy, your wish is about to come true!
Well, maybe. There's no word yet on exactly what the flavors will be, but Ben & Jerry's recently announced that the company plans to debut new non-dairy ice cream flavors in the U.S. starting next year.
This announcement was spurred by a Change.org petition asking Ben & Jerry's and eight other companies to make a dairy-free ice cream in order to support action against climate change.
The people behind the petition write that Ben & Jerry's sets the "ice cream agenda" as a leader in the industry and is in a great position to lead the way in making non-dairy ice cream more mainstream, pointing out that animal agriculture is currently the single largest contributor to global warming.
Ben & Jerry's has demonstrated a major commitment to combat climate change in recent months. The ice cream behemoth supports carbon regulations and eliminating fossil fuels as an energy source, and in March, they posted an "Endangered Pints List" of Ben & Jerry's flavors that may be lost to climate change creating inhospitable growing environments for certain crops.
The company apparently agreed with this sentiment, and recently told Metro that it would be using either coconut milk or almond milk as a base for its new ice cream.
According to a press release, the company has been working on its non-dairy line for quite a while, and wants to make sure that the flavors live up to the Ben & Jerry's standards. The new ice cream will be available in the U.S. in spring 2016 and in the U.K. at a slightly later date.
ing a whole pint of Ben & Jerry's in one sitting. What kind of flavors are you hoping to see?

Changes Over Time in the Use of Do Not Resuscitate Orders and the Outcomes of Patients Receiving Them
Published in: Medical Care, v. 35, no. 4, Apr. 1997, p. 311-319

This article was published outside of RAND. The full text of the article can be found at the link above.
OBJECTIVES: Do not resuscitate (DNR) orders are increasingly common, though there has been little evaluation of their changing use. The authors contrasted the use and outcomes of DNR orders for nationally representative samples of Medicare patients hospitalized with specific diagnoses in 1981 to 1982 and 1985 to 1986. METHODS: Using ordinary least squares regression to adjust for patient and hospital characteristics, the authors compared use, timing and predictors of DNR orders, and survival to hospital discharge of patients with DNR orders between the two time periods. RESULTS: After adjustment for sickness at admission and for patient and hospital factors, more patients received DNR orders in 1985 to 1986 than in 1981 to 1982 (13% versus 10%, P < 0.001), with most of the increase among patients with the greatest sickness at admission. Disparity in DNR order use by age, diagnosis, functional status, preadmission residence, and gender found in 1981 to 1982 was still present in 1985 to 1986. DNR orders were written earlier in hospitalization during the latter time period. Patients with DNR orders were more likely to survive to hospital discharge in 1985 to 1986 than in 1981 to 1982 (44% versus 36%, P = 0.001), but their 30-day survival did not differ. CONCLUSIONS: Although use increased, disparities in DNR order assignment persisted in these 1980s data. Examination is needed into whether these differences persist and whether they reflect patient preferences. Systems should be developed to preserve and review the preferences of the increasing number of patients discharged after in-hospital DNR orders.

Unique school opens new centre and garden
A UNIQUE Surrey school set up in 1999 by parents with autistic children celebrated a dream start to its 10th year in January.
Simon Sheehan, Cllr Pauline Searle the Mayor of Guildford and Kate Grant, head of Jigsaw School, opening the new life skills centre in Guildford
The Jigsaw Trust's specialist day school for children with autistic spectrum disorders was thrilled to receive a grant of £57,539 from Hilton in the Community Foundation, the charitable arm of the hotel chain. Hilton Cobham, which has strong local links with the school, raised the money through a raffle, summer fete and staff payroll giving.
The grant has enabled the Jigsaw School, which is based at Dunsfold Park, to develop and equip a new Life Skills Centre for its pupils in the heart of Guildford.
The Mayor of Guildford Cllr Pauline Searle officially opened the new facility in Sydney Road on July 29 on a site originally donated by St Faith's. The centre will provide a comfortable environment where pupils can learn essential skills such as cleaning, cooking and personal hygiene.
It has a range of rooms that simulate a home environment and is equipped with hairdressing and dental facilities to give pupils the opportunity to practice daily living skills.
The goal is to increase the students' levels of competence so they can lead more independent lives.
Welcoming the new centre, parents Lynn and Gary Grant said: "We see the Life Skills Centre as a wonderful opportunity to broaden our daughter Lisa's horizons. She can become more proficient at the things she loves, for example, cooking and baking, and learn new skills.
"We are also very hopeful that the on-site medical suite will help reduce the fear factor and make her feel more comfortable with some of the things that are an inevitable part of her life."
Dame Maureen Thomas, vice president of Hilton in the Community Foundation's trustees, said: "Hilton Cobham is delighted to support Jigsaw School and it is fantastic to see this project come to life.
"The life skills centre will make a really positive difference to the children's lives."
Welcoming the new facility, Jigsaw's executive head teacher Kate Grant said: "I am so delighted to have reached the point when I can say the centre is officially open.
"I would like to thank Hilton in the Community Foundation most sincerely for their phenomenal generosity as well as their support and encouragement along the way as we've watched this building being transformed into the fantastic life skills centre it is today.
"There have been many, many people involved in this project and thank you to each and every one of them.
"This dream has become a reality and we can ensure that our students continue to get the best opportunities for fulfilling their potential not just at school but in their own homes as they grow towards young adulthood."
The grant has also enabled a garden to be planted, especially designed to encourage social interaction among children with autism.
The new play area took just four weeks to complete and has a number of special features, including seats facing each other, polytunnels for growing seedlings, and a whole variety of plants aimed at engaging the school's pupils.
The garden itself was designed by Caspian Robertson, who worked with project leader Cornelius Keily. They also had the help of volunteers to complete the garden in such a short time.
Caspian, owner of Surrey Gardens said: "Basically we all came together and thought 'wouldn't it be great to have an outside area for the children?'
"It is one of the first gardens for autistic children in the country. The theme for the garden is interaction. Autistic children tend to walk to different corners on their own, they won't interact, they won't communicate. This garden directs them together, it is designed so that each aspect of it encourages interaction with the pupil's carer and other children for example, the polytunnel allows children to grow young plants, which they can plant out into an enclosed area of raised beds."
Caspian explained that the garden aims to stimulate all the senses. "As an illustration, fragrant plants are scattered throughout the garden, so that there is a distinct scent for each area," he said.
"We've tried to get in as many groups of different plants as possible, and not just soft plants, there are some that will give you a nip if you touch them, because that's the real world."
There were a number of things that Caspian and his team had to take into account when designing the garden for children with an autistic spectrum disorder.
He said: "One of the significant challenges was to incorporate some of the more practical requirements of a special needs garden, while not drawing attention to its identity.
"For instance, all exits are kept clearly visible to the pupils through the design layout and are distinguished by soft orange paint, while the main entrance is kept white, and again, visible from each point in the garden.
"I think it's fantastic, I'm a bit of a perfectionist and always think it could have gone better, more here there, but just looking this final Wednesday I think it's fantastic," added Caspian.
"The entire garden was constructed from scratch in just one month. We relied almost entirely on a volunteer workforce, for which we owe many thanks. I would particularly praise Timothy Hall, whose generous gift of time and effort was invaluable."
The Jigsaw Trust is a registered Charity set up in 1999. The school first opened in September 1999 with six pupils. In the future the school also intends to provide services for young adults through specialist college provision.

In Tolstoy's footsteps: Modern photos of the writer's favorite places
Phoebe Taplin
special to RBTH
Tolstoy's townhouse in the Khamovniki, or Weavers' district of Moscow, is a popular visitor attraction.
See the modern look of places where Tolstoy used to pass the time.
Tolstoy found it difficult to reconcile the urban poverty he witnessed with his family's own luxurious lives. As a result, a lot of the writing he produced in the gloomy upstairs study was political or philosophical.
A giant statue of the writer sits at the end of the road in Maiden's Field (Devichye Polye) in Moscow. This is where Pierre sees his French captors executing prisoners in "War and Peace."
There are lots of other Moscow corners with Tolstoy connections, including this carriage house. This building used to be the school where his children studied.
Borodino, where you can still wander across the deserted battlefield, just as Tolstoy did…
Just down the road is Tolstoy's local church, the beautiful St. Nicholas of the Weavers, a mid-17th century parish church, painted red, white and green.
Tolstoy's house in Yasnaya Polyana (125 miles south of Moscow), where the writer was born, lived most of his 82 years, and was buried.
One of the frequently encountered rural scenes at Yasnaya Polyana. The estate-museum is still home to horses and other animals, just like in Tolstoy's times.
Prince Sergei Volkonsky, Tolstoy's maternal grandfather, bought the land in 1763 and built this elegant manor at the top of the hill, the oldest building on the estate.
On one side of the estate, by a pine forest, with views across rolling countryside, there is a replica of Tolstoy's favorite bench made of slender silver birch branches.
Tolstoy was later buried in a ravine on the estate.

Across 11 spaces, 500 objects including 200 rare dresses are being exhibited alongside accessories, fashion photography, film, perfume, make-up, illustrations, magazines, and Christian Dior's personal possessions – Christian Dior: Designer of Dreams traces the history and impact of one of the 20th century's most influential couturiers, and the six artistic directors who succeeded him. Beyond getting to know Monsieur Dior better, visitors are able to explore the house's thematic changes right through to the first woman to take creative control, Maria Grazia Chiuri.
How much do you know about the 72-year-old luxury house that Christian Dior built? Do you know how Dior launched the label in post-WWII Paris and became one of the 20th century's most influential couturiers? Do you know what New Look is beyond the high street chain? What do you know about the designers who carried on Dior's legacy after his death? Have you seen the dress that Princess Margaret wore for her 21st birthday celebrations? Designer of Dreams teaches you all this and so much more.
The exhibition is a romantic reimagination of the Dior Disneyland that was last year's Musée des Arts Décoratifs exhibition in Paris. "The curator makes the difference," Maria Grazia Chiuri explains as we sit in the English Garden room, surrounded by dresses made by Monsieur Dior himself, Yves Saint Laurent, Marc Bohan, Gianfranco Ferré, John Galliano, Raf Simons and her own. "You see similar things through different eyes. The curator sees Dior with a different point of view. In Paris, you saw a more French vision, this one is very British. I reflect on cultural differences because this is the first time that I've worked at a house that wasn't Italian, working with people from all over the world, but the DNA is French," Maria explains.
Chiuri compares her role to that of a curator and believes it is her duty to connect with people and have a voice. "I strive to be attentive and open to the world, to create fashion that resembles the world of today," she says. As the first female Design Director in Dior's 71-year-history, Maria Grazia Chiuri has, since her appointment in 2016, carefully crafted a new chapter for the French luxury house and brought the debate around female empowerment to Paris Fashion Week. Chiuri's collections have often looked back to move forward, and have continually connected fashion to feminism. The use of Linda Nochlin's battle-cry essay Why Have There Been No Great Women Artists? in her spring/summer 18 collection and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's We Should All Be Feminists in her powerful debut have reverberated around the world, and placed fashion directly within the wider discussions around women's equality, inspiring many other designers to follow her lead.
Immersed in a history that has been largely shaped by men, the significance of Maria Grazia Chiuri being the first female to helm Dior is obvious. "Of course, as a woman, I have another point of view," Chiuri adds succinctly. "For me, I don't want to impose on other women, I want to start a conversation and I want the house to be a place that takes care of women. Fashion can impose certain rules but when I was young and interested in fashion, it was about being free, expressing our own identity."
As we admire the dramatic silhouettes of Gianfranco Ferré and reminisce about John Galliano's fantastical story-telling, I ask if she has a particular favourite moment of Dior history? "Everytime I spend time in the archive, I discover something different that sparks inspiration but it's always reliant on my own moment," she notes. "I personally love Marc Bohan because he was working in the 60s and 70s, a time that reflects my own coming-of-age moment, a time of huge sociopolitical revolution, of gender... of sex." Although often overlooked today, Bohan is the house of Dior's longest-serving creative director and steered it through the cultural shifts of the 60s, 70s and 80s. "His pieces are the ones I want to wear now. There's something so timeless about them. When he became creative director he said, 'N'oubliez pas la femme', we must not forget the women, and that's my own point of view too."
"Ultimately, people see Dior, not all the designers that made up Dior," Chiuri explains modestly as we explore the Designers room. "All of the designers, from Yves to Raf, have in their own way used the reference of the founder and the codes of the house, in their own personal style and reflected their own moment but if you aren't a fashion historian or a fashion obsessive, it is difficult to see." The exhibition itself makes these links most obvious in a number of its rooms, the Ballroom, Travels, Historicism and Garden. As we sit back down in the latter, we can see just how successive designers have celebrated the green fingered Monsieur Dior. Yves Saint Laurent frequently inserted the rose motif into his designs, while Marc Bohan, Gianfranco Ferré and John Galliano, were all keen gardeners and often adorned their collections with floral embroideries. Then of course, we should all recall how Raf Simons's debut Dior collection was presented against a backdrop of a million fresh flowers, while for her first couture collection for Dior, Maria Grazia Chiuri created dresses with hand-dyed silk petals which resembled delicately pressed flowers trapped between layers of silk tulle. Dreamy. But despite this, we see her point. If you don't look at the plaques, it's all Dior and that's the power of this great house. "I want them to see that Dior is a house that has been able to maintain its values over a long time, while being a model of the time," Maria says.
Also, as someone who remembers how she felt when she visited the McQueen, Bowie and Frida Kahlo exhibitions at the V&A, she longs to stir emotions, create memories and educate. "Today, when everything moves so fast, it's so important to promote this type of exhibition where you can talk about fashion in a different way," she explains. "A picture seen through a small window on a screen, you can only see so much. We have a responsibility to show more and to educate. Beyond image, it has to be about experience."
Now, this desire to create experiences has been reflected in Chiuri's recent Dior shows. From the the resort 2019 show, in which she brought Mexican 'Escaramuza' equestriennes to Chantilly, to the spring/summer 19 ready-to-wear show set against a backdrop of the Tel Aviv–based choreographer Sharon Eyal's dance troupe and the showcase of female strength by the London-based acrobatic troupe for her latest couture show, Chiuri isn't interested in blink-and-you'll-miss-it catwalk shows.
With Designer of Dreams, Dior are able to create a different experience. "For me, this exhibition is even more important than a show because you can share this experience with far more people," she explains excitedly. "For a show, you can only invite one thousand guests, it's exclusive but here, everyone can come. It's a way to communicate the value of couture to a new generation. We have to educate. It's more important to promote the beauty behind the fashion, the craftsmanship, the brand. Here, more people can see so much more." We have no doubt that Designer of Dreams will surpass the record-breaking Savage Beauty exhibition, so book your tickets now.

On this page are some interesting facts about Asia rainforests.
* While the interior of Asia is mostly dry, rainforests are mostly found along the coasts.
* the densest of Asian rainforests are found on Borneo Island, south-western coast of Sumatra, in Myanmar and northern and central coast of Vietnam and southern China.
* Most rainforest destruction is currently (2010) going on in Thailand and Malaysia, Laos, Indonesian Sumatran Island and southern China.
* Three species of leopards are only found in Asian rainforests (Snow leopard, clouded leopard and Bornean clouded leopard).
* But despite their size, tigers are not always as brave as you'd think. Smaller animals such as hyenas and even jackals can sometimes drive a tiger away from its kill.

An Examination Into Environmental Storytelling
by Josh Bycer on 03/01/18 09:23:00 am
The following blog post, unless otherwise noted, was written by a member of Gamasutra's community.
The thoughts and opinions expressed are those of the writer and not Gamasutra or its parent company.
Environmental Storytelling is one of those aspects of game development that you know it when you see it, but it's hard to talk about what it actually is. When it works, environmental storytelling can elevate a game, and it is an effective skill for game designers to master if they want to improve their game designs and storytelling.
A World vs. a Gamespace:
Environmental Storytelling combines various disciplines for one goal: To create a gamespace that is as lived-in as you can make it.
One of the biggest distinctions between old school and modern games has been a focus on creating believable worlds as opposed to just a gamespace. You can see this in the crazy rooms featured in platformers, action games, and FPS of the '90s and early '00s. FPS in particular created insane looking areas and tried to pass them off as "schools" and "hospitals."
While there was certainly nothing wrong with designing games this way, environmental storytelling does add to a game. A major point has to do with architecture and creating a sense of place. Recent hits like Resident Evil 7, Prey 2017, and the Soulsborne franchise, each created very deep environments. It wasn't just making a place for the player to run through, but having a world that is detailed enough to warrant a closer look, while still being unique enough to differentiate each area.
In a lot of older games, developers tended to recycle wall textures and room layouts, as the focus was on the gameplay and not the environment. This is where the maze-like quality of older games comes from, and why it was difficult to get your bearings.
With that said, let's talk more about how to think along these lines and how it helps with design.
Sculpting the World:
Thinking about environmental storytelling is more of an on/off thing as opposed to different degrees. Once you start doing it, it will become harder for you to stop. Being able to think about your gamespace as a world has some subtle advantages.
From a narrative point of view, environmental storytelling helps you build "the bible" of how your world works. Having that framework established allows you to think about your story organically as opposed to just making things happen. We've talked about some of the problems of video game storytelling before and how it can feel artificial. Environmental Storytelling done right can lead to stronger stories and a sense of place.
From a gameplay point of view, environmental storytelling has the side-effect of producing "deeper" levels. When we use the term deep in this context, we're referring to level designs that warrant exploration by the player. In both Resident Evil 7 and Prey 2017, the areas are full of detail for the player to discover.
Instead of sprawling maps as we've seen in classic FPS like Doom, these titles go for smaller individualized areas that have more to explore. Each room is distinctive, which makes it easier for the player to build a mental map of the level.
When it comes to actually doing it, creating environmental storytelling comes down to answering one question: "How does all of this actually work?"
There is a greater topic here relating to realistic fiction, but we can talk about it briefly. Environmental Storytelling in video games is not about being as realistic as possible with your game, but grounding it within its own fiction.
Obviously, no one has firsthand experience living in a city like Rapture or being cannibalistic serial killers, but it's about creating a setting that make sense for those respective situations. Instead of just putting characters and details haphazardly, you can start to think about how things work within the world.
By creating a believable architecture for your game, it makes it easier for the player to find their way around. From the video, a major part of level design is akin to building the world first and having the gameplay fit inside of it instead of vice versa.
As you start to define the rules and foundation of your world, it will become easier to start thinking about the gameplay and design within that space. In Prey 2017, the station of Talos 1 is not a military base, but a research station. Because of that, there aren't a lot of actual weapon types, and instead, the player makes use of improvised research items as makeshift weapons.
Being an Architect:
Environmental Storytelling works best for 3D titles, but it's still a useful skill to start developing regardless of your game's design. Just being able to think about how things connect within the world will help you with fleshing out your design.
By itself, environmental storytelling is not going to save a doomed game, but it's typically a component of the most popular games released each year. Being able to combine your design with storytelling is a skill that not everyone can do.
Besides the games listed here, can you think of other examples of excellence in environmental storytelling?

Marvel's Eternals
NexivRed replied to JohnC's topic in Film, TV & Radio
You're joking? But they speak just like the old puppets; barely constructing an expression. Rigid lips. They need to have rigid lips!!!
Absolutely. I thought her performance as an android in Humans was quite clever. Little did I know that's the only way she can act and it's fucking devoid of anything. The deviants looked like SHIT. One of those extravagant, gaudy, circle jerks of "look what we can do with CGI!" It would have worked a thousand times better if they had been plain, dark, brutal, primal looking beasts. It reminds me why I breathe a sigh of relief when there's a giant, rubber, animatronic blob of a hut in Boba Fett. Not some streamlined CGI interpretation. It loses all soul. Bring back more stop start plasticine bad guys ffs. Nothing will be scarier than those were. No one got enough screen time. Because there were eighty thousand Eternals. Angelina Jolie got to act for about seven seconds, and the rest of her screen time was made up of the stereotypical, squirrel landing bone structure shots, designed to make us go "ooohhh, she's so pretty/strong/brave". Fuck off. She can act. Anyone who's seen Changeling or Malevolent (and maybe I'm biased as a mother), knows she can bring the believable emotion. But she wasn't allowed to. I'm annoyed they dared deliver us this cos they know we'll watch it anyone. The trailer was the best part.
Would have worked better as a series. Then we'd have had the time to care about people like Sprite. Instead of having it artificially jammed down our throats via all the fucking kid jokes. Stupid.
Rate the last film you watched out of 5
NexivRed replied to Raoull duke's topic in Film, TV & Radio
Blood Red Sky - Netflix This was a great little thing. Really solid of the genre. Interesting. Worked well in German with subtitles. Would probably be naff in English. 4/5
Mercy on Netflix Fucking shit. 0/5
Can't remember where.
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings I had low expectations after seeing what some people were saying, but I was pleasantly surprised. Enjoyed it. Very happy with the inclusion of so many Asian elements. The music. The subtitled sections. Helps balance out the variety of Asian ethnicities all cast as a single race sigh. Pretty. Nice music. Decent story. Love Ben Kingsley. Definitely don't cut it out of your Marvel timeline. It's really not that bad. 3.5
Uncharted: The Movie
NexivRed replied to Gambit's topic in Film, TV & Radio
Has anyone said yet how Ramin Djawadi has completely ripped off of Klaus Badelt's Pirates of the Caribbean score??! I'm really annoyed and disappointed in him.
The Book of Boba Fett - December 2021, Disney +
NexivRed replied to Doctor Shark's topic in Film, TV & Radio
Really enjoying this. Like @TehStusays, I love the lore being included/written, making you care about these "extras" from the movie. Listening to the end credit music today; I half wondered if both this and The Mandalorian were composed so they could be mixed together. Mandalorian is Wild West and Boba Fett is more piratey, but there's something about how much more simple the Boba Fett tune is, that makes me wonder. edit: okay, tried it. Boba Fett is a waltz lol.
Ghostbusters -Afterlife
NexivRed replied to papalazarou's topic in Film, TV & Radio
What, by saying nuts if it's hated? Come on.
For me, as autistic, watching that kid finally feel like she fits in because she sees her Grandfather accept her weirdness cos he's weird too; I 100% think he'd be up for anyone who got some comfort out of that like I did. I wish to hell I had someone in my family that was like me but older. To make me feel better. Because she shacks up with Moranis, not Ramis. See my comments above at being accepted for being odd. I'd give anything to have had some of that at 12 years old instead of thirty fucking five. That's what got me. Anyone who hates it is nuts. This was perfectly enjoyable. I personally laughed at a few points. I was happy with the story and it made sense which was important.
It was good, wasn't it. I really enjoyed it. I thought it was clever. The Judge 2014 Roberts Duvall and Downey Jr. I thought it would be good cos the premise was interesting. Netflix synopsis could have gone many ways. Did not expect it to be so good. It's intense. It's difficult. Have something light hearted to watch/do after. But watch it. 4.5/5
NexivRed replied to Marlowe's topic in Film, TV & Radio
Watched Unforgivable afterwards. I really really like Viola David. She is so strong. And Bullock is great as usual. I love that these two strong women have this movie pivoting around them. Her husband, the lawyer, just fades right back. They are the two leads and despite the sad story, it's really enjoyable to experience. Just realised Hans Zimmer did the soundtrack. Quite distinct from him. Similar strings to Dark Phoenix. But I love the Radiohead song coming in at the end. Love that song from Vanilla Sky.
Maggie Gyllenhaal's first movie as director, The Lost Daughter with Olivia Colman. I could talk about this movie for hours, but I won't because it will drive everybody insane. Mostly myself. I think she did really, really, really well. And I don't know how this could have worked with anyone but Colman. If you let yourself get sucked in then it's really uneasy. Especially watching as a parent and being able to identify with some of the specific shit children can create for you. It's left me with the opinion that it's inhumane for just one or two adults to bring up a child. To be left alone to do it all. It just shouldn't happen to our species.
The Suicide Squad - James Gunn now confirmed to write and Direct - Summer 2021
NexivRed replied to Goose's topic in Film, TV & Radio
This is hilarious. So many movies try to pull off funny scenes like this had and just fail. Gunn's a genius.
Don't Look Up Proud to be woke, and to feel affected by this. 4/5
Came here to talk about Don't Look Up. Funny, but fucking hell it's depressing. Right on the money. It's scary sometimes, how someone else is also absolutely aware of all the subtle aspects of shit like this. You either need ignorance, or a strong sense of positivity surrounding your own little world to be able to get through this.
Marvel's Hawkeye
That was great. I'd watch that again over Wandavision and Loki any day. Been really happily surprised by both the Black Widow movie and this. So far from the boring plug at being cool I thought they'd try to be. They ended up being effortless enjoyment, and once again proves to me I should always be willing to give things a try.
Holy shit. When he's telling her the story of the shot he never took. Episode 4. That's the music when she fell. I don't think that's the first time they've played that post Infinity War/End Game either. I'm sure I heard it in another show. Fucking goosebumps. Such a great piece of music how it ends on those major chords.
This is brilliant. 3 episodes in and they've taken such a great direction with it. Two people shooting bows and arrows could have been SO bad. But staging it at Christmas, and with the many classical and Christmas music giving some light comedy; I think it's totally elevated. And it's funny! I'm laughing out loud. The connection with his family members (that hard of hearing phone call with his son was so moving, especially with her reactions). Plus the villain is a very interesting design. No run of the mill. Probably enjoying it more than Loki at this point.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
NexivRed replied to Mr Do 71's topic in Discussion
Curse Nintendo for not letting us plant trees on edges, and curse them for not allowing palm trees to be exploited to be on cliff edges.
Comes in many colours as well. @StumpyJohn do you have the recipe for the vine stool? Placing one near the vine makes it look like roots are extending out.
Oh, I have some trolleys thank you. My shopping district is coming along quite well
@StumpyJohn I think if I quote you it won't hide your spoiler tag, but when I left the island I was given an option and ended up with this I love finding them in the floaties. These two seem to have been adrift for a few days..

DHAKA, May 8, 2018 (BSS) – LGRD and Cooperatives Minister Engineer Khandker Mosharraf Hossain today hoped that the country would be a developing one by 2024 under the dynamic leadership of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
"Bangladesh has already attained the eligibility of graduation to a developing nation. By 2024, the country will attain the status of developing one," he told a discussion at the Holy Family Red Crescent Medical College auditorium, marking the World Red Crescent and Red Cross Day-2018.
Chaired by Bangladesh Red Crescent Society chairman Hafij Ahmed Majumder, the discussion was addressed, among others, by its vice-chairman Prof Habibe Millat, MP, and treasurer Advocate Touhidur Rahman.
Mosharraf said although different natural disasters hinder the pace of the country's development, Bangladesh will be able to become a middle income country by 2021 and developed one by 2041.
He highlighted the different steps of the government taken to meet the challenge of various natural disasters Bangladesh faces every year.

Reasons to Go to Rwanda Now | TravelResearchOnline
Reasons to Go to Rwanda Now
Posted on September 3rd, 2020 by David Cogswell in The Incessant Traveler
Rwanda recently became one of the few countries in the world that has opened its doors to the abandoned American traveler.
As of Aug. 1, Rwanda is accepting visitors on commercial flights – as long as they have a certificate showing they tested negative for COVID-19 in a SARS-CoV 2 Real Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) test that has been administered within the previous five days.
In addition to that, Rwanda recently received the global safety and hygiene stamp from the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC), certifying that it has successfully adopted the global standardized health and hygiene protocols of the WTTC for dealing with COVID19. The protocols have been formulated based on the experience of WTTC members as well as on guidelines established by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
So the door is open in Rwanda and, according to the WTTC, it is possible to explore safely. Those are two reasons to consider going to Rwanda right now.
Fellow Primates
The main reason most people travel to Rwanda is to track the rare mountain gorillas. There are only about a thousand of them left in the world; and they are all in one place, the Virunga Massif.
"Massif" is a geological term for a part of the earth's crust that has many faults and is subject to tectonic movements. The Virunga Massif is a 3,000-square mile area surrounding a chain of eight volcanoes.
Even without considering the gorillas, the Virunga Massif is one of the most enchanting places you could ever hope to see, with towering mountains that poke through low-hanging clouds, and crystal-clear lakes at their feet.
The fertile volcanic soil produces a rich growth of blindingly colorful vegetation throughout the region.
The Virunga Massif is divided by the national boundaries of Rwanda, Uganda, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Rwanda and Uganda have both developed excellent operations for visiting the gorillas. The Congo is under a U.S. Travel Advisory and is a less attractive option for tourism at the present time.
Encountering the mountain gorillas, those great beings who are among our closest biological relatives, and who are hovering on the razor's edge of extinction, is an experience that will have a powerful impact on every person who has the experience.
The mountain gorillas share 98% of our DNA, which makes them one of our closest biological relatives, along with chimps and bonobos, which share 99%, and orangutans, which share 97%.
Gorilla trekking seems even more compelling in the time of COVID-19, after nature has given humanity a slug of tough love that has humbled us and caused many people to reassess their relationship with nature.
Also making a gorilla trek more compelling is the fact that the shutdown of global travel during the COVID pandemic has dealt a blow to conservation in Africa, which is funded to a large extent by tourism. Participating in tourism helps fund the protection of the gorillas from poachers.
Rwanda's Moral Lesson
I went gorilla trekking in Rwanda under the guidance of Karin Jones, of the Africa specialist tour operator Anastasia's Africa. Not surprisingly, it was one of the most extraordinary trips of my life.
I could rave on and on about the experience, but there's another experience in Rwanda that I would like to draw attention to. It's one I rarely hear mentioned that had a tremendous impact on me. I wish every person could experience it. It has a special significance today at a time of so much social turmoil around the world.
I'm talking about the Genocide Memorial Museum in Rwanda's capital city of Kigali. It rivaled the gorilla encounter as one of the most high-impact travel experiences I've ever had.
Before I heard of gorilla trekking, my knowledge of Rwanda was limited to what I had heard of a horrendous massacre that took place there in 1994, in which more than a million Rwandans were barbarously slaughtered.
The phrase "a million violent deaths" is hard to imagine or even make sense of. The Genocide Memorial Museum makes it all too clear.
The museum's exhibit walks you through the whole sequence of events. I can't say it was pleasant. But it taught some grave lessons that would be good for everyone in the turbulent 21st Century.
It began with a native population that had been ruled by a colonial government that fomented racial divisions between the two main tribal groups, the Tutsi and the Hutu, as part of how they maintained control of the population.
Historically, the Hutu were farmers, the Tutsi were herders. The Tutsi were generally taller. Hutu were said to have broader noses. But over time the two groups had blended, intermarried, often traded roles. There was no clear way to identify an individual on the street as belonging to one group or another. The categories remained as socioeconomic groups and the government mandated that everyone carry national identity cards to tell what group they belonged to.
As Bill Nye, The Science Guy, has said. There are no racial boundary lines in nature. Race is a human construct.
The racial hierarchy created resentment from the Hutu majority, which built over time, and was seized upon for political leverage by the demagogues that jockeyed for power after Rwanda gained independence in 1962.
Hutu leaders relentlessly pushed hate propaganda against the Tutsi people on a propaganda radio station, calling them "cockroaches."
The right wing government created a youth militia and channeled the frustrations of unemployed youth into training and preparation for killing Tutsi.
On April 6, 1994, the president's plane was shot down and he and the president of Burundi were killed. That set off the bomb of the militia groups. The government cracked down savagely, set up road blocks to identify Tutsi and kill them.
Driven mostly by the youth militia, some of the Hutu went on a rampage with machetes, spears, nail-studded clubs, grenades and rifles that raged on until a million Rwandans were killed, mostly Tutsi, as well as Hutu who may have been in the wrong place or too friendly with the enemy.
One million dead. A society ripped apart at the heart.
The walkway through the Kigali Genocide Memorial with concrete covered mass graves on the right
A Warning
The brutality unleashed, as portrayed so vividly in the museum, was shocking. I was practically numb after passing through the exhibit. When I reached the end, I moved discreetly into a quiet, darkened corner and let out an explosion of tears.
My small group of travel companions and I left the museum and walked silently to our van. It was the last event on our itinerary. As we drove toward the airport, barely a word was spoken for an hour.
The museum made very vivid to me an atrocity that I had heard of but had no understanding of. It was a cautionary experience for me. It helped me to have a lot more respect for how violence can get out of control.
These days when we are seeing so much division within our own country, I wish more Americans had had the experience of the Genocide Memorial Museum that I had.
It's a reason for traveling to Rwanda that I don't hear mentioned much. But I recommend it to everyone. I find it hard to imagine anyone seeing it and not being profoundly affected.
That alone would be reason enough to go.

Do you need immediate pest control or termite control in Glendale AZ?
Underground termites will be the majority of prevalent termite that we find in homes and businesses that require termite treatment in Glendale AZ. They're also the most damaging termite among all the termite types we've got within Glendale and much of Arizona. They can be quite active, crafting small, light tan mud tubes to move through from the earth into structural wood material.
Subterranean termites construct those types of mud tube tunnels to make their way from the dirt through to nutrients resources. After progressing to these supplies, they employ their extremely powerful scissor-like mandibles they utilize in order to chew through wood Twenty-four hours every single day – seven days a week.
Did you know that termites don't go to sleep? That's exactly why they're always busy, especially throughout their busy periods. How come they eat wood? Merely because the wood's cellulose is their food. Subterranean termites swarm during springtime as well as monsoon season, as reproductive termites kick off new colonies.
Desert subterranean termites' colonies can be up to two million strong and exist deep in the earth. Termites can easily tunnel 100's of feet to locate food supplies, and they merely need a 1/32″ crack in order to gain entry through concrete straight to people's homes. Now and again you can see termite tubes on foundation cement, dangling from ceilings, on wall surfaces, or perhaps "swarming" around your property. In case you've seen any one of these conditions, it's the best time to contact us. Call us at 623-587-0125. Get your termite truth right away, coming from the professionals that know.
Termites usually are most lively in the spring as well as after monsoon season. Our termite examination and treatment schedule books up quickly during these times. If you suspect a termite issue or wish to be secure and protected and get checked out, please call as soon as possible.
Termites are quiet dwelling wreckers that quite literally eat away at wood houses. They can lead to more emotional and monetary destruction than any other unwanted pests. Usually the harm is carried out silently and quickly. Since wood is their nutrition, they can easily ruin your property as they eat through woodworking and hardwood floors. They can also demolish wall paper and other physical objects produced from paper or real wood. Termites cause greater than five BILLION dollars in devastation inside the United States on a yearly basis.
Rid a Bird Pest Control Termite Control in Glendale AZ can help protect your house as a result of termite damage. By administering termite home inspections for all of our termite clients we can prevent subterranean termites from ruining your house. Our termite treatments are custom-made for your home.
