Lost in Translation?
Posted on April 13, 2014 by Theatre Room Asia
I'm guessing that the name Anders Behring Breivik will strike a chord with anyone over the age of 16. If doesn't, Breivik was the man who, almost 3 years ago, bombed government buildings in Oslo, Norway, killing eight people, before going on to kill 69 other people, mostly teenagers, in a mass shooting at a summer camp on the nearby island of Utøya.
Now this might sound like an odd introduction for a theatre blog, but bear with me. I was reminded of the atrocity this week on two fronts. Firstly, an attempt by the national government in Norway to create a memorial to the victims of Utøya shootings has been challenged by families of the victims and the locals who live near the proposed site.The memorial would see a channel cut across the tip of a peninsula which points out towards Utøya. one of the locals, Ole Morten Jensen said:
We will see this every day, a constant reminder of what we saw that day. All the blood, the noises, the shooting, the screaming. No, I don't want to remember that. I think it is cruel for a government to expect us to be reminded of that.
I then read an article by Dominic Cavendish, for The Telegraph about David Grieg's play, The Events, which was a response to the violence unleashed by Breivik back in July 2011, and asking how far human forgiveness will stretch in the face of atrocity. The Events doesn't set itself in Norway, nor is there any direct reference to the Utøya massacre, but the parallels are obvious. The play originally opened in the UK in summer 2013 and was a critical success, even winning best play of the year in one set of awards. It is still touring.
Now, it has just had its Norwegian premiere and I wondered, given the opposition to the national memorial as one reminder too far, how The Events would be accepted by an audience who might want to put the horrors of Utøya behind them. Having said this, the play isn't about that fateful day and its doesn't recreate any particular event, but rather, as Lyn Gardner says, it is about grief, anger and revenge, but also about the things that bind us together as a community, the things that drive us apart, and what it is that makes us human.
Now translated into Norwegian and titled Hendelsen the play opened in the town of Drammen, which is less than a 50 minute drive away from Utøya. Cavendish's article below, deals in depth with the sensitivities surrounding the re-staging and whether it is something that Norwegian audiences will welcome:
David Greig: 'I always knew I'd put The Events in front of a Norwegian audience'
The Events, David Greig's acclaimed play about the aftermath of a massacre, has returned to its Norwegian source. But what did its first-night audience make of it?
David Greig in rehearsals for the Norwegian production of The Events
A man stands on stage and points his fingers at a woman as though he were aiming a gun at her. "I have one bullet left," he says. "Who is it for? Which one of you is it for?"
That's what you'd hear if you translated his words into English. On this evening in late March, at Drammens Teater, a plush playhouse in a suburban town 30 minutes from Oslo, the man is speaking Norwegian. "Jeg har bare en kule," he says. "Hvem er den til?" Even if you didn't understand the words, you'd instantly grasp the seriousness of the threat.
I first saw Scottish playwright David Greig's The Events at its opening performance in the Traverse theatre in Edinburgh, last August. At the time, I was gripped by this pivotal moment, in which the unnamed perpetrator of a mass shooting revels in his power of life or death over a young choir leader called Claire. This was only one of many elliptical and absorbing dramatic encounters.
Like Greig's heroine Claire, a priest who almost loses her sanity in her quest to understand the loner who joins and then destroys her multicultural choir, the playwright had become obsessed with trying to fathom what made the Right-wing extremist tick – and flip. The resulting drama was as economical as it was experimental. Just two actors were needed, the male taking on multiple roles, not only of the killer but also those with insights into his actions and even Claire's female partner. The added ingredient was a supporting choir of local singers drafted in from wherever the production might be playing. The show ingeniously explored the urge to understand mass murder and the limits of that understanding. While its conclusions seemed bleak, the choir's vitality and solidarity felt wonderfully life-affirming.
But for all that potency and poignancy, the show in the UK allowed audiences to feel removed from its dark Scandinavian origins. Occasional references located the piece in Greig's native Scotland. You might recall the Dunblane massacre of 1996, perhaps. You didn't have to think of Utøya.
On its opening night in Norway, however, Hendelsen, as the play is titled here (and which translates as "event"), will strike home hard. Drammen is the capital town of Buskerud, the county that contains Utøya, which is a 50-minute drive away. A stone's throw from the theatre, facing the river, stands a memorial to three local teenagers who died in the tragedy, the youngest aged 14.
I learn that during the afternoon's dress rehearsal, members of the Drammen International Gospel Choir – an inclusive, multicultural project of precisely the kind Greig envisages – were left in tears after watching some of the scenes for the first time. "It took us back to the day it happened," one of their number later confides. "We remembered the helicopters flying over this town that night, bringing people to the hospital."
Apprehension and anticipation builds before the performers wander on to the stage to begin their choir practice, as though everyone was invited into their warm rehearsal space.

"I don't think people will stand up and scream, 'This is wrong, stop this!' " reflects Elsa Aanensen, the artistic director of Brageteatret, the company presenting this touring premiere in a co-production with ATC. But she can't be certain. Last month, controversy engulfed plans for one of the permanent memorials chosen to honour the dead – Memory Wound by the Swedish artist Jonas Dahlberg – when the mother of the youngest victim complained about its location and a lack of consultation with the bereaved. Last year there was much heated discussion when a Danish theatre company called CaféTeatret brought over Manifesto 2083, based on the document Breivik distributed shortly before the attacks. And when Greig and Gray visited Norway in 2011 to talk to people and do research, the scepticism captured on the streets by a TV news crew almost set off a backlash against The Events before it had even been written.
"We still have a big wound in this country," Aanensen explains. "I certainly think about those events and that day whenever I pass Utøya. I think that's true for many people. It felt like our 9/11." She consulted a number of survivors before proceeding, all of whom approved the idea, but admits she heard nothing after sending a letter outlining the project to the Workers Youth League. The choirs involved have needed reassurance too: "The worry was that there might be shooting and on-stage deaths." She wants to set off a debate, not cause a disturbance.
"When I wrote The Events, I was always thinking about tonight," Greig, 44, confesses over a cup of coffee after he arrives in Norway on a flying visit. "I knew there would come a point when I would have to place this play in front of a Norwegian audience. I had to feel I could hold my head up and say, 'There's nothing in this that is easy, sentimental or tawdry.' " Although as outwardly calm and articulate as ever, he has, he says, a gnawing feeling in the pit of his stomach.
When the hour finally arrives, two things are immediately obvious. First, that the theatre is not full, a possible indication that the company has been soft-peddling on marketing to avoid any sensationalising effect, or that the public is still wary. More importantly, it is suddenly clear how close to the bone the play is – and the performances take the work to a new pitch of intensity.
Local resonances are pronounced from the start. In the opening scene, the choir joins in rousing folksy rounds of Norwegian Coffee Song as Heidi Gjermundsen Broch's radiant Claire vainly tries to welcome in Rolf Kristian Larsen's silent, sinisterly impassive, "Boy" – here white and bearded, rather than an ethnic "outsider", as he is in the UK production.
Larsen has drawn on mannerisms observed during Breivik's trial – "I wanted the body language to be more relaxed than his to bring out the creepiness of that fixed smile," he tells me. Partly as a result, Breivik-like assertions about "foreigners" and the urge to be famous, as well as allusions to the FAQ sections of his manifesto stand out more than ever. As do the risks inherent in Greig's even-handedness; confronted in prison and asked to explain himself, the Boy is normal, pathetically inadequate. "I just got a bit obsessed with Aborigines," he mutters.
There is no discernible weeping, wailing or complaining from the audience, yet the rapt attention is unmistakable and at the closing song – a haunting, specially composed ballad called We're All Here (Vi Er Her Alle Sammen) – you can feel the room unifying in sorrow and defiance. Greig and Gray join the curtain call to loud applause, clutching roses – the flower adopted as the emblem of grief in 2011 – with the rest of the company.

It will take a while longer to get the measure of Norwegians' reactions to the work – the tour eventually winds up in Oslo, with a choir drawn from the commune near Utøya. But the response so far has left Greig feeling quietly vindicated. He says: "I had a particularly touching moment where a lady came up to me who had a daughter on the island of Utøya and a son who was a security guard at a building that was bombed. Both survived but she had a very close relationship to what happened. She said that up until now she thought she was weird because she had all these arguments going on in her head – and Claire had articulated all those things."
Gray, too, exudes relief afterwards: "This could have gone horribly wrong in so many ways – it was a real act of faith. I sat there thinking 'Phew, this is OK and I'm proud of it.'" Ine Therese Berg, a young critic from the weekly newspaper Morgenbladet, strikes a more emphatically approving note. "I think Norwegians would find it interesting. It's not just a gimmick, it has integrity, it's touching. At the same time, I wonder if people want to deal with it. We all related to it at the time and we talk about it as a national trauma but I wonder who will come to see it."
One voice urging her fellow countrymen to take a look –"It's great, very serious. They are doing this in a good way" – is that of 26-year-old Tonje Kristensen, who survived Breivik's killing spree by continually moving around Utøya, even though she badly damaged her back jumping from a second-floor window. It's not a chapter she wishes to relive in detail again – she wells up when I ask her what it's like to confront such painful memories – but the feeling of unreality described in the play as the shooting unfolds struck a powerful chord.
"I felt I was closer to death than I have ever been before," she explains. "That's a very special sensation that you don't often get – it's different from being scared. I think they really nailed that feeling – you're not just scared, you're terrified."
Having made a concerted effort to move on, and not to dwell obsessively, as Claire does, on the whys and wherefores of the atrocity, she still understands why there would be such a compulsion to puzzle over it all. "I think everyone felt affected by it, not just the people who were at some of the places that he attacked. Maybe for some people it's stronger even though they weren't at Utøya."
Can a play like this usefully add anything? She nods but it is perhaps Larsen – the man who plays, almost, not quite, the man who tried to kill her – who puts it best: "We don't set out to answer all the questions. It's as if we are in a massively large dark room and have lit a tiny match – and we have shed a little light in there, knowing that we are only going to find out so much before it burns out."
I have to say I am left feeling slightly uncomfortable by this. I can't help thinking that by taking the play to Norway it the becomes voyeuristic, particularly because it is written by an 'outsider'. Perhaps, however, it could only be written by someone not connected with the events of July 2011. I don't know.

Lohja's hosting born from a perfect curling cooperation

Home / News / Lohja's hosting born from a perfect curling cooperation
Even the biggest curling fans may be stumped if they were asked which city has hosted the most World Curling Federation events this decade.
Some would jump straight to Canada, who traditionally host the Women's and Men's World Curling Championships in alternative years, as well as a number of wheelchair and mixed events. Yet, to guess any of the major powerhouses in curling would all be incorrect.
The correct answer is an hour outside Helsinki in the modestly-sized city of Lohja.

Finland has quietly built a reputation for hosting competitions despite being a small curling nation, even within Europe. While a few of their events have been held in different cities, the main activity has been in Lohja, a city of under 40,000 people.
Since 2015 alone, Lohja has hosted the World Wheelchair Curling Championships in 2015 and the B-Division of those championships four out of the last five years, including the 2019 edition, which begins on Wednesday (27 November) – follow live here.
Lohja has also hosted the World Junior-B Curling Championships in 2016, 2018 and twice in 2019. Finland will round this current stint off when they host the all-important World Qualification Event 2020 from 13 to 18 January.
A quick answer as to why they've hosted so many events is, they have a perfect set up with purpose-built ice. But, that wouldn't do the tale justice. The Finnish Curling Association manages this flurry of events through a partnership with a local university, the Kisakallio Sports Institute.
Olli Rissanen, President of the Finnish Curling Association, recalls how this partnership came to fruition. He said, "The Sports Institute contacted us as they were looking for new sports and they said they were interested in curling. Kisakallio Sports Institute is now the most important and main partner of the Finnish Curling Association."
A special place

With the World Wheelchair-B now underway and the World Junior-B championships approaching in December – 11 to 18. Rissanen explained why the facilities are made for smaller events.
He continued, "It's a special place because Kisakallio is made for wheelchair athletes and junior athletes.
"You don't need any transportation during the championships because everything is there that you need. You can just concentrate on the curling.
"That includes food, gym and anything you can imagine those players would be doing during the competition."
This has also proven beneficial out with these major events. The Finnish Curling Association has tactically hosted their national championships in between these events to cut down on running costs – a major factor for a small organisation.
"It means we can use the same championship level ice for our national championships," said Rissannen, "We don't have to make the ice specific like we would if we hosted it elsewhere.
"It's ready made. We also get the ice much cheaper than we would, so it's really important economically for the Association."
Everything in one place
But, business is business. It's not just an economic success for the Finnish Curling Association, there's clearly financial gain for Kisakallio too. Lauri Ikaavalko has worked at the institute for 14 years. He now works as the Sales Director, as well as the head organiser for the Lohja events. He sees the partnership between the two parties as mutually beneficial.
"We've hosted so many competitions here because this area is quite unique," he said. "The facilities are all here and everything is so close.
"That's very convenient for the players, but also for the World Curling Federation because everything happens in the same field.
"This sports university is quite unique. In Finland, we have ten of these kind of institutes. In other countries they don't have these kind of places, where the facilities and accommodation is so close to each other – 600 people can stay on campus.
"It's not easy to find host cities for this level of competition. It benefits the institution as its all from our own hand. We don't need to rent ice and find hotels. All the business is our own and belongs to us.
"The Minister of Education supports the institute because they know it's difficult for a small country like Finland to host international events and they see the benefits to our students getting experience at international events."

Students at the Kisakallio Sports Institute don't just have their heads in the books. Finnish education is well-known for their practical approach to learning and Ikaavalko has found a great balance between learning and keeping organising costs down.
"We have about 200 students so these competitions contribute to their studies. It's a win-win situation for the students. They can get the real experience to organise this kind of event and the World Curling Federation and organisers benefit from their volunteering.
"Their curriculum here is to be sports instructors. One part of that is the event organisation. In Finland we trust that you can learn by doing. You can read ten books, but you might not have experience. Our practical way is to do the competition. We're giving them real experience."
These competitions, give the students volunteering a legitimate amount of experience at a high level, but for Rissanen, there's a legacy for volunteering of a different kind.
"Especially in wheelchair curling, we have got more players because of hosting the championships," he said. "The other benefit is having the volunteers there involved in ice making and umpiring.
"Those people have been educated for those jobs and they'll then help take a role in our national championships."

Ikaavalko has experience himself in curling, being the head coach of the Finnish wheelchair team for six years. He states his pride for bringing the World Wheelchair Curling Championships to Lohja in 2015, but admits his greatest achievement is the organisation of the junior events.
He said, "The most important event for us has been all the junior events. It's been a great experience for our students who have volunteered at those tournaments because they are the same age. I know some friendships were formed and have continued after many years.
Biggest event to date
"These players come for the competition, but they also visit Lohja. We organise sightseeing trips for the juniors so they go to the local places and the local markets and they give money to workers and shops."
The World Qualification Event 2020 will be the biggest event to date hosted in the city. Despite this, Ikaavalko isn't fazed.
"We have so many years' experience already so I don't see a big challenge.
"The World Qualification Event in January is the first adult, non-wheelchair, competition that we've had. The playing level is higher than the juniors and their expectations will be higher as they are used to high-level facilities.
"That's one part where we don't have much experience. But, I have full confidence in our organisation and our volunteers so I think it'll be a successful event."
Growing the sport
But, this partnership is not only about hosting international events. It's about promoting and growing curling in Finland too.
"For a small association, as we are, having a partner like Kisakallio Sports Institute is really important for our development," said Rissanen, "We're looking to make the partnership stronger which could mean that Kisakallio would invest money in building a curling rink for Finnish curlers.
"We're looking forward to making that happen. The reason we have so few curlers is because we have such poor curling conditions in our country. We absolute need better foundations and just get one or two dedicated curling rinks in the right places would help that very much."
The journey that Ikaavalko has been on with Kisakallio from its roots in curling to now shows how far this partnership has come. With Lohja becoming a staple of hosting in recent years he sees cooperation being the future for smaller curling nations.
"Curling is still a small sport in the world and a very small sport in Finland, but if we have enough partnerships like the Finnish Curling Association and Kisakallio and all the partners trust each other, together we can find benefits for each other."

The goal of this project is to conduct a comprehensive, definitive mixed-methods evaluation of the Laws of Life Essay contest. Using research on "turning points" and expressive writing as a basis for the evaluation, we will interview participants from across the 25-year history of the Laws of Life contest in Franklin County, Tennessee, and compare them to a group of similar nonparticipants from the surrounding area. We will use structured surveys, in-depth interviews, and content analysis of available essays. We will determine whether there is an overall positive benefit to program participation in terms of (a) character development, (b) spiritual and emotional well-being and (c) ability to cope with adversities when they arise. We will also examine the developmental trajectory of these outcomes, including whether short-term outcomes differ from long-term outcomes and whether those participants who are now in middle adulthood reflect on the experience differently from more recent participants.

WELCOME TO MY JAMES BOND 007 Soundtrack Review site. I have been a knocked-out Bond fan since I first saw Diamonds Are Forever in early 1972, and Goldfinger and Dr. No a few months later. Like most of my generation, I have a slight preference for Sean Connery as 007. (Note: Read the preceding sentence bearing in mind my penchant for understatement.) I have never particularly cared for Roger Moore in the role; I did like Timothy Dalton, and I was rather sad to see him not continue the part after Licence to Kill. But despite some severe deficiencies in the scripts of the films from the late 90s and early 2000s, Pierce Brosnan sewed up the part of 007 with admirable style. And now, with Casino Royale having hit the screens, Daniel Craig has proven to be not only capable of filling some very big shoes, he brings to the cinematic Bond a solid portrayal that may be the closest to Fleming's character yet. I went into Casino Royale wanting to like it, and I was anything but disappointed.
All that said, however, my favorite Bond film remains On Her Majesty's Secret Service. While George Lazenby may not have been world's most convincing 007, he did a respectable enough job in a film that is truer to Fleming's original, both literally and in spirit, than any other (at least until Casino Royale). John Barry's score to OHMSS ranks as his all-time best and adds significantly to the quality of the film as a whole. I've always thought it a pity that most casual Bond viewers are quick to dismiss both Lazenby and the movie as "deadly dull," when in reality it's a suspenseful, beautifully directed gem with all the elements that made the early Bond films successful. Expectations of Sean Connery as Bond no doubt played a part in its lackluster reception from the public, but among most of the die-hard Bond fans that I know, OHMSS rates deservedly high.
New, re-mastered editions of several of the original soundtracks, some including extra music cuts, were released a few years back; those that I own have been reviewed on the relevant pages. Also: since there are quite a few Bond music compilations on CD, those reviewed on this site are limited to the ones I actually own. And for those who have asked, I haven't included the scores to 1967's Casino Royale and 1983's Never Say Never Again because I don't own them. At some point, they may yet be included.
If you discover any errors or omissions in the text, feel free to email me and set me straight. In my research, I occasionally found inconsistent or conflicting film info; I have attempted to cross-reference as much material as possible to ensure something resembling accuracy.

UAE, Malaysia show willingness to issue green sukuk
Kuala Lumpur: Countries such as the UAE and Malaysia have shown the willingness to issue green sukuks, and advisers such as Climate Bonds Initiative hope to have at least one [issued] in 2016, the chief executive officer of the advisory firm told Gulf News.
"Dewa (Dubai Electricity and Water Authority) has said that they are considering issuing a green sukuk for clean energy," said Sean Kidney, chief executive officer of Climate Bonds Initiative. The firm has a sukuk advisory group in the UAE, trying to promote issuance.
The world is heading for up to seven degrees of global warming, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA), which may make many of the parts of the earth uninhabitable, impacting the rich and the poor alike, and Kidney feels the solutions are investible without impacting the government budgets.
"The world is full of money and there's no shortage of capital, we just have to get our government settings in place," Kidney said, adding "green bonds are a way to make it simple for people to invest in them."
"One of the reasons that I like this idea of green sukuk is that it marries the idea of protecting the environment, and it makes sure that our financial system is designed around a social cause and not around making money for billionaires in New York," he said.
Currently, there is a $65.9 billion (Dh242 billion) of outstanding in labelled green bonds, with transport and energy remaining the dominant themes. The development banks and corporations contribute to the 80 per cent of the issuers. Kidney expects an issuance of another $50 billion bonds next year.
"We need to have the right kind of industrial planning and economic planning that provides transition to the green economy," he added.
Dubai as an example
Saudi Arabia's oil minister, Ali Al Nuaimi, had recently said that the largest exporter of crude oil wants to be a solar energy exporter, indicating the extent of the solar ambitions.
"The truth is that oil remains a finite resource," Kidney said.
Climate Bonds Initiative considers Dubai as an example which has made considerable efforts in developing solar energy.
"The Gulf needs to follow Dubai's economic model, rather than depend on fossil fuel, as quickly as possible," Kidney said, adding, "use the wealth now to diversify your economy and diversify the risk".
"We need to be aware that oil is a sunset industry and we need to quickly move [on with] the transition," he added.

AVMU takes license away from Boki 13's 1TV
The Agency for Audio and Audio-Visual Media Services (AVMU) has taken away 1TV's license to operate.
The Agency's council closed the procedure against the TV station late in the afternoon, after its representative didn't appear earlier.
The basis for taking away the license is failure to meet the minimum staffing requirements prescribed, Factor reported. According to the TV station's license, it was obliged to have 30 employees, including 10 journalists.
Following the arrest of Bojan Jovanovski, Boki 13, who presented himself as the owner of the TV station, most of the journalists left 1TV.
In the last two months, with minor interruptions, the TV station didn't air any program at all.
Boki 13 is the first suspect in the Racket case, and is in detention at the Sutka prison.

Microsoft signed an agreement with UNHCR to provide learning centres for refugees
Microsoft signed an agreement on 12 December 2003 with the UN refugee agency to establish two facilities, in Kenya and Russia, where refugees will be able to learn valuable computing and software skills.
UN High Commissioner for Refugees Ruud Lubbers and Microsoft's Chief Executive Officer for Europe, Middle East and Africa, Jean-Philippe Courtois, met in Geneva and signed a letter of understanding on Community Technology Learning Centres that Microsoft will fund to provide training and computer education for refugees.
The two centres planned under the pilot phase of the joint agreement will be fully funded by Microsoft. They will be located at Dadaab refugee camp in eastern Kenya, and in St. Petersburg, Russia.
Courtois said the projects are aimed at disadvantaged communities. "It's about digital inclusion, social inclusion and economic inclusion," he added.
In response to the enormous need for identification documents, Microsoft provided software and hardware and helped UNHCR to assemble kits to register and photograph refugees and produce simple ID cards.
Other IT firms also provided valuable assistance and components, and more than 100 registration kits were eventually deployed also to Africa and parts of Asia to help UNHCR improve its global refugee registration policies. Microsoft has also donated consulting services in support of a new global registration system UNHCR expects to launch in mid-2004.
"Our partnership began from the bottom up. It started with our people on the ground who wanted to become part of the solution, to make a difference," Courtois said. "We wanted to help people in Kosovo recover their identity."
From that early beginning in the midst of a refugee exodus, the two global players in software and humanitarian assistance have expanded their contacts to provide new, innovative services to refugees. This is expected to expand as the Community Technology Learning Centres move beyond the pilot phase.

A: It looks like the namespace in the mapping "WindowsFormsApplication1.Domain" differs from the actual domain namespace "APIDB.Domain". The assembly name could also be wrong but I don't know what the generated assembly name is for your project.

Q: How come non-globals from included files are usable in relative urls and unusable in full urls of included php files? when I include vars.php:
$var='hello';

in index.php:
require 'vars.php';
echo $var;

it works great, even though $var is not global. but when index.php looks like this:
require 'http://site.com/vars.php';

echo $var won't work. How can I make it work anyway?

A: You can't.  require 'http://site.com/vars.php'; tries to get the output of the PHP script as rendered by the web server at site.com - it is no longer PHP code.  You cannot get a web server to return PHP source code in this way, and you shouldn't try.
Why do you want to do this?  It is better to use relative paths in includes when possible.  That way you can move your application code, or deploy it on a different server, without having to edit hard-coded path names.
Anyway, I think this is probably what you want to do instead (using an absolute filesystem path rather than a relative path):
require '/path/to/site.com/files/vars.php';

On Linux, this directory name is often /var/www.  On Windows, the path will start with a drive letter and a colon.
It's important to understand that your statement require 'vars.php'; is not a relative URL - it is a relative filesystem path.

The Joe Franklin Show Archives on YouTube
Joe Franklin was an American radio and television host personality from New York City. His show began in 1950 on WJZ-TV (later WABC-TV) and moved to WOR-TV (later WWOR-TV) from 1962 to 1993. Those are the stats. In reality, he was the living embodiment of the golden era of showbiz and, in fact, the inventor of the contemporary television talk show.
Thankfully, some of those shows have now begun to surface in an official YouTube archive. On tap are interviews with Fay Wray, Tiny Tim, Andy Devine, Irish McCalla (from She Demons!), Joan Fontaine, Donald O'Connor and Jay Leno. The J. Geils Band also makes an appearance, lip-syncing "Freeze Frame."
One can only hope this archive will continue to grow.

Chris Spedding's 10 lessons learned from a life in guitar
Chris Spedding.
Image: © Will Ireland/Future
"When I've been asked by players how they should go about improvising a solo on a particular chord sequence, I will say, 'Get into the habit of singing a note in your head and then see if you can find that note on the guitar. That's your first lesson. Then sing a very simple melody in your head and see if you can play that on the guitar…
That's the technique that I advise people to try and follow, and I think that's what I learned from the jazz thing. And never forget that it might start in your head or in your ears and it might end up through your fingers – but try and make sure it always goes through your heart!"

Five Observations: Teaching Race
Common Good, Justice and Peace Studies, Leadership, Policy and Administration, News, Our Community, Psychology, Sociology and Criminal Justice, Top News
This story was updated June 3, 2019. A previous version of this story incorrectly referred to the title of the John Ireland Chair as the John Ireland Endowed Chair.
Last spring John Ireland Chair Stephen D. Brookfield worked with several colleagues to write a book on how university faculty members can better teach and discuss racial issues in their classrooms. Brookfield and six of the book's contributors – Consuelo E. Cavalieri, Bryana H. French, Mike Klein, Lucia Pawlowski, Salina M. Renninger and Buffy Smith – held a panel in the Al and Brenda Iversen Hearth Room on Nov. 28 to discuss how to implement the techniques included in the just-released book, Teaching Race: How to Help Students Unmask and Challenge Racism.
Buffy Smith, Stephen D. Brookfield, Consuelo E. Cavalieri, Bryana H. French and Salina M. Renninger (l-r) discuss teaching race.
Here are five observations from the panel.
1. We need to transform how race is discussed in all courses.
"Teaching race is something that happens in every pocket of this place (St. Thomas)," Brookfield stated. The idea that discussions about identity should be taking place in all classrooms, regardless of subject matter, was a recurring theme emphasized by several of the panelists.
"Some of the work that we do as an institution when it comes to racial issues tends to be reactive," said Klein, associate professor in the Department of Justice and Peace Studies. Klein shared how assignments related to identity can be woven into coursework. "Then when something like this happens, we're already on the path."
2. Mistakes will be made along the way.
The opening chapter of Teaching Race includes a quote from panelist Pawlowski, founder and director of People's Writing Center. It reads, "There are two ways to teach about race – badly, or not at all." When working toward changing the way faculty discuss race in classrooms, mistakes are inevitable. "You [faculty] are going to make a mistake," stated Smith, associate dean of academics in the Sociology and Criminal Justice Department. "The hope is that when I make a mistake, [students] correct me – please do, that's the only way I will learn – but that we still have a relationship."
"No one's expecting perfection," Klein added. "It's such a liberation to say, 'I'm going to make mistakes.'"
3. Silence in the classroom can have more than one meaning.
Too frequently when race is brought up in classroom discussions the topic is greeted with silence from students. However, understanding why students are silent can help faculty determine how to work through this silence. Smith reflected on her own experiences of examining why her students weren't speaking up.
"I had to think about my interpretation of that silence. So, was it because they're not engaged? Or was it because of their own kind of fear, or the tension that could be the reason for this silence? And how I answer that question will impact how I perceive them and how I respond." Smith went on to say that when the cause of silence is fear and tension, "That's something we can work with as a community, because their perceived lack of engagement is that they don't want to say something that will be offensive."
4. It's OK to be vulnerable.
Cavalieri, associate professor in the Graduate School of Professional Psychology, said that in teaching and discussing racial issues in the classroom "there's a lot of embodied emotion that happens really under the skin." To have honest discussions, both students and faculty need to examine their own identities, which can lead to feeling vulnerable in these situations. However, this is all part of the process. "As educators that's our job, to say we're going to struggle together," Smith said.
"It requires a fair amount of risk on my part," said Renninger, director of training doctoral students in Graduate School of Professional Psychology. She went on to say she works to address topics "in a way that supports everyone in the room but also takes a stand, and that's really delicate."
French, associate professor in the Graduate School of Professional Psychology, added that, "Even though I feel prepared, I still make mistakes, and I think the other piece of it is recognizing who's in the room, so as a professor trying to teach to multiple levels is always a challenge."
5. Building a community is important.
Through classroom discussions about racial issues, students and faculty should be learning more about themselves and those around them. This in turn contributes to creating a community, allowing individuals to better understand one another. While disagreements will occur and mistakes will be made, these efforts work toward establishing a stronger community.
"We have a foundation. Can we build upon that foundation? Of course," Smith said. "There has to be a level of trust that we're going to engage in difficult conversations. We might not always understand where everyone's coming from, but we give each other enough patience, grace, mercy and forgiveness in the process to say, 'Let's continue to have this conversation.'"

"Reality can be a bit boring": Nico Kartel's photography is a form of escapism
Contributor on April 16, 2021
This outlook on life is evident throughout Nico's work. He photographs a plethora of unconventional models, shot with a serene colour palette of muted pastels and pinks. Light and framing plays an imperative part to his practice, and this only heightens the sense of metamorphism that protrudes in the work. A recent piece, titled 10039, is part of a project shot in 2019 and its name references an area code in Harlem. He documented a model named Rahm in the "safe spaces that Harlem offers", in turn shooting amongst places such as soul food restaurants on the 135th strip, hair salons on the West 145th strip, as well as murals and monuments of Harriet Tubman, Martin Luther King, Rosa Parks and Jackie Robinson on the 125th strip. "Harlem, to me, is still a place where young Black creatives can find endless inspiration and peace that sparks new and innovative ideas."
Paving his own path, Nico now has a deep-rooted foot in the ground of the world of image-making. It's something he's always had a knack for, and an interest that dates right back to his younger years watching horror films and observing the dark and eery scenery. This is his main inspiration and he's often asked himself how he can incorporate this aesthetic into his practice: "What would it be like to take the methods that are used in horror films – such as lighting, the colourful, but sometimes muted tones, and the beauty of the intensity they use in the plots – and apply it to Blackness and the Black identity?" This inquisition led Nico to apply a more cinematic style to his work, where shadows and tones take centre stage in the artful compositions.
As for his other works, expect to find a collection of honest and telling pieces lensing themes of Black identity in a celebratory, joyful manner. Everything he creates, in this sense, comes from his own personal experiences – and this certainly shows. "I want to depict Black people in fantasy-like ways," he concludes. "I want them to see my work as an escape from reality. Because, as we all know, reality can be a bit boring or a bit too harsh sometimes. Bring back escapism."
Besides the theatrics of horror films, Nico also cites American filmmaker Kahlil Joseph as a source of influence – the brother of painter Noah Davis. "It brings me back to that thing I was talking about earlier where the worlds of moody imagery and dramatics, and Blackness merge and melt together perfectly. He does that with incredible ease." It was after Kendrick Lamar went on tour with Kanye West in 2014 that Nico first became aware of his work, as he shot the LED visuals for his shows, including a 14-minute short film for the Good Kid M.A.A.D City album. What caught his eye was its lack of dialogue, instead opting for a more nuanced narrative in the way it depicted Blackness and Black Trauma. "The thing I love about his work is that when he addresses these things, he doesn't do it in a cringe-worthy way. When you look at the state of the art and film world right now, and the way it address Black identity, everything can come off as egregious, try-hard and corny. His work is not like that at all. His vision and way of telling stories, their stories and our stories, is so beautiful."

The PFA process is intended to provide relief for a victim from his or her abuser. Many individuals relate Protection from Abuse Orders ("PFA") to Restraining Orders. In fact, those terms are often used interchangeably. However, the PFA process is not considered part of the criminal system, and a restraining order is. While criminal charges can come from actions leading to a PFA, the PFA process itself is civil. Attorney Damon C. Hopkins has dedicated over two decades of his life to serving those involved with PFA's, needing to get a PFA, or defending people who have been wrongfully accused and been served a temporary PFA in Erie, Harborcreek, Cory, Girard, and surrounding areas in PA. As a PFA attorney, Damon C. Hopkins has experience working with the PFA laws in Pennsylvania and devotes his time and effort to find the best solution for every case.
What are the Requirements to Obtain a PFA in Pennsylvania?
Thus, the "Domestic Relations" section does not allow a PFA to be ordered against a stranger, co-worker, etc.
The infliction of false imprisonment pursuant to 18 Pa.C.S. Section 2903 (relating to false imprisonment).
Pennsylvania broadened its PFA law on July 15, 2015, through statute at 42 Pa.C.S. section 62A01. Section 62A01 protects victims of "sexual violence" or "intimidation." "Sexual violence" is defined as "conduct constituting a crime under any of the following provisions between persons who are not family or household members." Meanwhile, "intimidation" is defined as "conduct constituting a crime under either of the following provisions between persons who are not family or household members"(Pennsylvania General Assembly.) "Sexual violence" and "intimidation" relates to various sexual crimes and covers sexual crimes that occur outside of family or household members, which the domestic relations section does not address. In short, unlike domestic relations situations, sexual violence by a stranger situations protects non-family or household members.
The process for obtaining a PFA in Pennsylvania is relatively quick. Nevertheless, each county follows a different process to receive a PFA order. For example, Erie County in a non-emergency situation will have a victim go to the PFA office and request a Protection from Abuse Order. A judge will determine to grant or deny a temporary Protection from Abuse Order. Whether denied or granted, the victim and the alleged perpetrator will have a right to a hearing for a final determination to be made. Assuming a temporary order is issued, the temporary PFA will last up to 10 days, within which time a Judge schedules a final hearing where both sides will present their positions and evidence. To obtain a PFA in Erie County, PA, go to Erie County's Office of Protection from Abuse.
It is important to note that the two parties, typically through their attorneys, can avoid a PFA hearing and agree to the terms and length of the PFA, the maximum still being three years. Reaching an agreement without a trial can benefit both the victim and the perpetrator. The victim does not risk the Judge dismissing the PFA, obtains a court order making the PFA final for his or her protection, and avoids having to testify. The alleged perpetrator does not admit to any of the underlying PFA facts and is merely agreeing to stay away from the victim. Overall, PFA's can have significant effects on both the victim and the alleged perpetrator's life. Contact Attorney Damon C. Hopkins for an experienced PFA Lawyer to represent you in Pennsylvania.
Attorney Hopkins understands that each PFA case is unique and he takes the time to understand your particular situation and will develop solutions that meet your needs. As both a fighter and fixer, Damon C. Hopkins possesses a sophisticated legal knowledge that allows him to handle a wide range of legal matters. If you find yourself in need of an attorney to help obtain a PFA or defend against one, and are located anywhere in Erie County, Pennsylvania, including the City of Erie, Corry, Fairview, Girard, Harborcreek, Millcreek, North East, or any other surrounding areas, it is important to remember that you are not alone.

London Health Sciences Centre and St. Joseph's Health Care London
An effort to ease the burden on pharmacists resulted in reducing the number of unnecessary drug alerts by 41.5% while reducing the number of overridden alerts by 42%.
Canadian health system streamlines provider workflow in effort to reduce alert fatigue
Alert fatigue can negatively impact clinician wellness, as clinicians find themselves faced with unneeded alerts they are forced to ignore. In response, staff at London Health Sciences Centre and St. Joseph's Health Care London in Ontario, began reducing unnecessary drug alerts for pharmacists across London and regional partner hospitals. The total number of drug alerts fell by 41.5%.1
To help determine which drug alerts didn't need to fire, staff turned to Lights On Network®, which provides health organizations data to discover how clinicians utilize Cerner solutions.
"We used the data in Lights On to determine which alerts were firing for whom and how often," said Carrie Milligan, performance measurement consultant. "We used it to optimize our alerts so our pharmacists and physicians using the system see more value-added alerts, in order to reduce alert fatigue."
Staff responded by adding several filters to suppress unnecessary drug alerts that hampered workflows. Some of the suppressed alerts included ones that would fire multiple times when a physician would place multiple orders for the same drug at the same time. For example, when a physician ordered a medication with decreasing doses, the pharmacist previously would receive multiple alerts, not just one.
Staff also suppressed alerts for drugs ordered on a regular schedule as maintenance medications. Other changes included suppressing alerts when physicians would sign multiple orders at the same time.
"We had alerts firing that were nearly always overridden," said Milligan. "They took that alert, brought it to our pharmacy team, and used that information to make decisions as to whether or not that alert should still be firing."
With the number of drug alerts pharmacists saw dropping by 398,0001, pharmacists don't need to override alerts as often, and the number of drug alerts they did override dropped 42%.2
Milligan and her team intend to continue looking at data from Lights On Network not only related to alerts, but electronic health record usage as well, to improve efficiency and the clinician experience.
"Our team is always looking for new ways to engage with clinicians and end-users to improve the system," said Milligan. "I'm always surprised that every time I go into Lights On, there's always something new. It's not a stagnant solution; it's always changing and improving."

Part of proposed county sales tax will go to schools if OK'd
If voters ratify the quarter-cent county sales tax this November, a portion of the revenues it generates will go to the school system.
The county originally placed the quarter-cent tax, which would not apply to gas and groceries, on the ballot as a way to cover the debt from building a new courthouse. It's estimated that it'll bring in several million in excess revenue after it covers that debt. During their Oct. 4 meeting, county commissioners voted to apply the school funding formula to that excess revenue so 40 percent of it will go to the school system.
This new allocation was done at the request of the county school board. The board had been criticized by teachers, after a viral video showed county commissioners telling Superintendent Beverly Emory that the school board could "just ask" for more money for supplements from the county's budget. Emory and the school board told teachers last month they'd been discussing other ways to increase supplements and using part of the proposed sales tax was one of them.
"Some said, and it was written in the paper numerous times, that nobody asked, 'Just ask.'" School Board Member Lida Calvert Hayes told commissioners. "So I'm here to ask."
Most of the school board was in attendance and sitting beside them was Parkland Teacher Tripp Jeffers, who had to take time off to be at the commissioners' meeting, which takes place at 2 p.m. Jeffers was one of numerous teachers that criticized the board last month, but applauded the action last week.
"This is a very good first step," he said.
The sales tax could bring in $1.2 million to $1.4 million for the schools. This would easily cover the school system's first year of its six-year plan to increase supplements, which would cost $1 million. The second year would cost nearly $1.9 and continue increasing until it costs $5.2 million by the sixth year.
As School Board Chairwoman Dana Caudill Jones thanked commissioners for their support, she told them the board is working on how to pay for the rest.
"We also want to let you know we have been working on a plan, so when your budget cycle comes around in January or February, hopefully we will have something in front of you," she said.
Commissioner Everette Witherspoon, who had told Emory to ask for supplement money, was pleased to see the school board speaking up.
"The Good Book says you have not because you ask not," he said. "I want to thank you for coming up and asking because at the end of the day, the teaching profession is the best profession that we have."
Commissioner Richard Linville introduced an addition to the resolution that allocates the rest of the excess revenues, beyond the school system's 40 percent, to capital expenditures or reducing property taxes. This is what commissioners approved by a 7-1 vote.
Witherspoon was the one "no" vote because he wanted to vote on a clean version of the resolution without Linville's addition. He didn't think that the commissioners should be allocating the rest of the money now, when it might be needed for other things in the future.
Commissioners can still alter or eliminate any of the allocations for the potential tax's revenue in the future.
Forsyth County Association of Educators President Ronda Mays said that her organization will now urge people to vote for the tax to support teachers. The county, which by law cannot advocate for it, will be updating its printed informational materials for the tax to include where the excess revenue will go.
If the sales tax fails and the county has to instead raise property taxes next year for debt service, the school system would receive no revenue from that.

Some time ago Ford asked kids for help to design a dream car for their mothers. Their innovative responses included an underwater car; a race car with a smoothie dispenser and a private pool; a robot chauffeured limousine so that moms could indulge in pamper sessions while being driven around, and a car equipped with a washing machine and kitchen that runs on love instead of fuel.
The EcoSport is built and designed to make life a bit easier – whether it's negotiating the school run, fetching bags of shopping or heading off for a pamper session or coffee date with friends.
EcoSport has the affordability of a compact car, with the versatility and spaciousness of an SUV.The 1.5l engine delivers excellent fuel consumption and the Powershift automatic gearbox increases fuel efficiency even further. That said, EcoSport is no slouch and has more than enough power on tap when you need it.
There is enough space to comfortably seat five adults. The cabin has a generous amount of practical storage compartments, including a glove box that can keep up to six beverage cans cooled. The rear seats have three reclining settings and folds down easily when additional cargo space is needed.
safety is a special concern when the passengers are little people. The EcoSport boasts an array of airbags, including airbags for the driver and front passenger as standard, offering extra peace of mind. The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) is available on all models ensuring that the wheels never lock-up, and coming to a halt can happen quickly on slippery road surfaces.
The EcoSport has high ground clearance of 200 millimetres, and has exceptional ability to wade through 550 millimetres of water. The hill launch assist feature, available on the PowerShift derivative, makes pulling off on a slope an absolute doddle, offering the driver time to smoothly accelerate, either up- or downhill, without rolling or losing control.
It is fun to drive!
This car makes driving fun and intuitive with an array of smart features. It offers Ford SYNC®, the voice-activated in-car connectivity system powered by Microsoft. This means the driver can keep their eyes on the road and hands on the wheel while choosing their favourite music and making phone calls using voice commands.

The Jason Taylor effect - does this hurt the Patriots?
By David Heafey May 13, 2009, 6:40pm EDT
Share All sharing options for: The Jason Taylor effect - does this hurt the Patriots?
via www.boston.com
After months of speculation, the great JT guessing game came to an end, reports the Sun Sentinel:
Jason Taylor, a six-time Pro Bowler, rejoined the Miami Dolphins today.
Taylor's agent, Gary Wichard, said the defensive end/linebacker signed a $1.5 million, one-year contract, which includes $400,000 of easily earned incentives.
For months, many of us Patriots fans have had "Hmm..." moments when thinking about the possibility of Taylor joining the Patriots. A constant thorn in our side, Taylor had wrought havoc in the NE backfield prompting Matt Light and Tom Brady to practially do an Irish Jig when he departed for Washington. Belichick, who has a history of picking up players who have given him fits, proclaimed his respect for Taylor and Taylor reciprocated. That set the stage for a courting that has finally ended. Why it ended is anyone's guess, but Taylor's statement smacks of a classy guy telling the truth:
"My heart has always been in Miami and so I'm truly excited to call myself a Dolphin once again,'' Taylor said in a statement. "I was presented with a number of different opportunities, but in the end the combination of this being the best situation for my family, my love for this community and my tremendous loyalty to a great organization made this an easy decision."
Yep, seems like the truth to me. If he's contemplating retirement, wouldn't this be the place to do it? I would think so. And, as he says, he's closer to his family and the community that embraced him from the start.
In Patriots changes by position: Outside Linebacker, we combed through the position and current roster and speculated, but I'm curious: could Jason Taylor have been the pass rusher we so sorely needed? Where do we go from here?
Now, there's a dark side to all of this: JT's back in the AFC East. That's not good. Realistically, Matt Light just had an "Oh crap" moment; Taylor is a handful and then some. How does this affect the Patriots? Maybe he got old. Maybe he did too many Salsas on Dancing with the Stars and he's gone soft. Yeah, maybe...

Companies, Arrested Development
Bluth Company
Appearances: Season One, Season Two, Season Three
The Bluth Company is a real estate development firm founded by George Bluth. Sometime during the late '80s or early '90s, the company was involved with Saddam Hussein in creating homes in Iraq; these homes went undiscovered by American authorities until about a decade later. In the series' first episode, George's wife Lucille Bluth was named CEO of the company shortly before he was arrested for fraud. The company is based in the Bluth Company offices.
The company was eventually purchased by Lucille Austero who renamed the company the Austero Bluth Company.
George Bluth founded the company in 1953.
George was the Chief Executive Officer, but announced at his retirement party that his wife, Lucille Bluth, would be the new CEO of the company, surprising his son Michael Bluth, who had expected to take his father's place as head of the company. Just after the announcement, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission boarded the boat upon which the party was being held and arrested George for defrauding customers and spending the company's money on "personal expenses." (His family, with the exception of Michael, was also using the company's money for personal expenses).

Lucille placed her favored son Byron "Buster" Bluth in charge of managing the company, but he soon showed himself to be completely incompetent and the family asked the departing Michael to return and act as President. Most of the action in the series comes from Michael's futile attempts to try to get the company back on track, while the family continues to take money from it, and hide their activities.
After George escaped from prison, Michael was being investigated for aiding and abetting. The board felt it was best if Michael stepped down and G.O.B. ran the company as President. G.O.B. failed to make any good decisions and Michael continued to do the day-to-day work while working out of a supply closet. G.O.B. eventually stepped down and Michael resumed the post.
G.O.B. as President in "¡Amigos!"
At the end of the first season, it is revealed that the company is suspected of illegally building homes in Iraq for Saddam Hussein. A mysterious box of evidence emerges, labelled "H. Maddas" ("Saddam H." backwards). George is to be charged with "light treason". As the Bluth family attempts to get (and later keep) their father out of prison, it eventually comes to light that George was used by the CIA to infiltrate Hussein's network and spy on the country's leader. This revelation saved George.
Moments before her arrest, Lucille sells the company to Stan Sitwell. After years of investigation, the SEC finally deduced that it was Lucille who was the brains of the money laundering. ("Development Arrested") Stan immediately sold the shares to Lucille Austero for a loss. Months later, Michael sold his shares to Lucille Austero, giving her a majority ownership of the company. She renamed the company into the Austero Bluth Company. ("Flight of the Phoenix")
Bluth's Original Frozen Banana Stand
The banana stand in 1953, as seen in "Pilot"
Main article: Bluth's Original Frozen Banana Stand
The Bluth family has also owned and run a frozen banana stand started by George in 1953 on the Newport Beach boardwalk on Balboa Island. The stand was a popular meeting place for the buying and selling of marijuana in the 1970s. As the stand itself was built to resemble a large yellow banana, it was commonly known as "the big yellow joint", and became the topic of a hit song by the same name.
George had initially lined the walls of the banana stand with money. As the Bluth Company was struggling, George repeatedly assured to Michael, "there's always money in the banana stand." Weary of his father's constant involvement in the business, Michael burned the stand down in a moment of protest, not realizing that the statement was meant to be taken literally; there were $250,000 contained in the walls of the banana stand. ("Top Banana") Throughout the series, the banana stand gets destroyed and rebuilt several times.
Mad Money reviews
During the series, Jim Cramer of the hit CNBC show Mad Money appeared to discuss the recovery of the Bluth Company's stock. He appeared to first announce that he had upgraded Bluth Company stock to a "Don't Buy" from a "Triple Sell", and then to say that the stock was not a "Don't Buy" anymore, but a "Risky". Each upgrade signified a step in the right direction for Michael as he rebuilt the company's image, but also led to his family trying to sell their shares for immediate monetary gain. The upgrades were also shown to be brief moments of celebration for Michael and George Michael, as well as the firm's employees. ("The Cabin Show")
During the final episode, when Cramer upgraded the stock to "Risky", the employees of the Bluth Company put up signs that read "Risky Business" in the office. ("Development Arrested")
