DENVER – Select grade beef has an important past in the cattle and beef business. However, its tonnage is shrinking and will continue to trend lower in the coming decade, based on collaborative research conducted across all beef industry segments.
FORT COLLINS, Colo. – November 26, 2018 – The number of people living in areas at risk to the effects of wildland fire increased by nearly 50 percent from 2012 to 2017, based on new Colorado Wildfire Risk Assessment data released this week by the Colorado State Forest Service.
The Chinese agriculture ministry is taking steps to counter concerns that the number of African Swine Fever cases in the country is being underreported. The ministry made it illegal to delay or obstruct reports of new ASF outbreaks, to issue false test reports, to distribute falsified health certificates, or to illegally dispose of infected animals. Reuters says Chinese officials are also offering rewards to people who file reports on new cases. Experts suspect that the 60 outbreaks reported in 18 Chinese provinces may not be an accurate number. China has already imposed transportation limits and other biosecurity measures designed to get control of the infectious disease. To date, the infection has caused China to cull hundreds of thousands of pigs from herds across the country. Officials in Beijing also announced a new case of ASF that killed 55 of 73 pigs on a single farm. China is home to 500 million pigs, more than the combined number of animals found in the rest of the world.
USDA recently reduced its forecast for beef production in 2018 by 30 million pounds. The new forecast is 26.9 billion pounds. The slight revision is based on numbers at the end of the third quarter, and from fourth-quarter expectations of slightly fewer steers and heifers to be slaughtered and fewer bulls in the slaughter mix. The industry website Meating Place Dot Com says those slaughter numbers are all found in USDA's monthly Livestock, Dairy, and Poultry Outlook report. Despite the lower slaughter prediction in the fourth quarter of this year, the steer and heifer slaughter rate per weekday in the fourth quarter is expected to remain above the rate for the same period in 2017. The 2019 beef production forecast was lowered by 100 million pounds to 27.8 billion. The adjustment comes from fewer-than-expected cattle placed in feedlots in the third-quarter of 2018, which would reduce the expected number of fed cattle marketed and slaughtered in early 2019. The September Cattle on Feed Report says there were 4.7 percent fewer cattle placed in feedlots, but 3.6 percent fewer cattle marketed than last year. That means there are 5.4 percent more cattle on feed than a year ago, which supports expectations of strong marketings in the first half of 2019.
Farmers and ranchers took home only 11.3 cents of every dollar that Americans spent on their Thanksgiving Day feast. That's according to the Thanksgiving edition of the National Farmers Union's Farmer's Share publication. The Farmer's Share compares the retail prices of food in a traditional Thanksgiving holiday dinner to the amount farmers receive from each item they grow. "We should take the time to recognize the farmers and ranchers that provided our Thanksgiving meals," says NFU President Roger Johnson. "While consumer holiday prices continue to decline, farm income is dropping at a much faster rate. We're in the midst of the worst farm economic downturn in generations, and we hope Farmer's Share illustrates that to the general public." On average, farmers get 14.8 cents of every food dollar consumers spend throughout the year. More than 85 percent of food costs cover marketing, processing, wholesaling, distribution, and retailing. Johnson says farmers and ranchers play the most valuable role in actually producing the food we eat throughout the year, yet they make just pennies on the dollar for their products. Johnson adds, "The major integrators who control the poultry markets have used their extreme bargaining power to suppress the earnings of the men and women who produce our turkeys while, at the same time, they take in record profits for themselves." He says those same growers that raise our poultry get about five to six cents per pound of turkey they produce.
Landowners appear to be getting more interested in selling agricultural land. The total amount of land that Farmers National Company has listed for sale is up 21 percent compared to last year. Randy Dickhut is the senior vice president of real estate operations at Farmers National Company. He says most of the sales are coming from individuals or ownership groups who've decided that now is the time to sell. "They may have inherited the land or even owned it for years, but sellers have watched the land market, and some are deciding to take advantage of the still historically good land prices," Dickhut says. "Some sellers are thinking that there is more downside risk in land prices than upside potential, so now is the time for them to sell." At the other end of the spectrum, Famers National says buyers are generally more cautious right now, which causes some land brokerage companies to experience more no-sale auctions that don't achieve the reserve price during the public auction sessions.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture is taking steps to address veterinary shortages in rural America. The agency says 74 food animal and public health veterinarians will get educational loan assistance in exchange for a three-year commitment to practice in a USDA-designated veterinary shortage area. The awards were handed out as part of the Veterinary Medicine Loan Repayment Program. It's designed to help protect animal welfare and public health in rural communities by make sure there's adequate access to veterinary services. John de Jong (de-YOUNG), president of the American Veterinary Medical Association, says farmers and ranchers depend on veterinarians to keep their animals healthy. "Access to veterinary care in rural areas is critical because animal diseases have a direct impact on local economies and public health," de Jong says. "This program is one of the best tools available to help address veterinary shortages. We're grateful Congress recognized its importance by providing a $1.5 million increase in program funding." Since its inception, the program has placed veterinarians in federally-designated shortage areas across 45 states. However, 113 shortage areas remain unfilled this year.

Beech on First-Team role
Jordan Beech talks about his appointment as First-Team Physio
Shrewsbury Town's new Physio Jordan Beech is excited about filling the shoes of the departing Chris Skitt.
Skitt will join an unnamed Championship club and will be replaced by Beech who has spent the last 18-months as the Academy's Head of Medicine.
Jordan believes the opportunity has come at a good time for him and can't wait to get going.
"I think it's a really good opportunity for me and I'm delighted to be able to make that step-up into the first team", said Jordan.
"I've been here 18-months now and worked very closely with Skitty. It's very good progression and a natural progression in my eyes to make that step-up.
"I know the players, I know the staff, I know the processes. I worked very closely with Skitty, so I know what he's done and I try to replicate that in the Academy, so it's just a case of making that step-up and carrying on the good work that's already been done."
Chris Skitt had been with the club for the last 10 years and Jordan wants to continue many of things he put into place.
"It's very big shoes to fill, but it fills me with confidence that he recommended me for the role", admitted Beech.
"It's a very good department and that's one of the reasons why I did want to make that step-up when I found out. Everyone knows their roles and we're all pulling in the same direction to have another successful season.
"I think I just want to keep pushing the department on. It is really well established now with what Skitty's done and especially with Marc (Lindsey) and Aaron (Lambley) moving that forward. I just want to keep that progression, keep the same high standards and help push the team on."

Reham Khan book: When Reham reminded Imran Khan of PM Narendra Modi's 'good governance track record'
Updated Jul 13, 2018 | 00:15 IST | Times Now Digital
Reham Khan book: In her autobiographical book, Reham Khan has claimed that she would invoke Prime Minister Narendra Modi's example whenever her former husband and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf chief Imran Khan was under stress and felt weary. She has also claimed that Imran had five illegitimate children, some of whom were Indian.

New Delhi: Imran Khan's former wife Reham Khan's autobiographical book has finally released on Amazon Kindle, bringing to fore more sensational revelations made by her regarding the former Pakistani cricketer and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf chief. In the book, Reham has reportedly claimed that she had advised Imran to emulate the example of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who had become India's Prime Minister due to his "track record of good governance."
The book, titled 'Reham Khan', has already generated much controversy prior to its release, owing to the leaked excerpts that revealed shocking claims made by Reham about Imran Khan, including that he was a homosexual and had five illegitimate children. Reham has claimed in the book that she would invoke PM Modi's example whenever Imran was under stress and felt weary.
As per the book, every time her own husband felt low about his political career, Reham would remind him of Narendra Modi's rise to power and his work as the Chief Minister of Gujarat and later as Prime Minister of India.
The excerpt, published by News18.com, quotes Reham as saying, "When I would plead with him to attend to an issue by visiting the location, he would literally wail, "Do you have any idea how long I have been doing this for? I am so fed up of this crap. It's been 20 f****** years! I can't do this anymore!" It was clear that Imran felt it was high time he was 'given the prize'. I would reason with him by saying, "But Imran, Nelson Mandela spent 27 years in a cell with no end in sight. Narendra Modi was a Chief Minister for 10 years before he became PM. He was voted despite his radical views because of a good governance track record. Prove yourself in KP then look to the centre."
On a different note, Reham has also claimed in her book that Imran had five illegitimate children and that some of them were Indian. As per reports, Reham said that Imran confided in her about her illegitimate children while discussing Tyrian White, the daughter he had with now deceased American heiress Sita White. "You know she isn't the only one I have… There are 5 in total, that I know of," Reham quoted Imran as saying.
In the controversial book, Imran Khan's ex-wife also made a startling claim that former Pakistani cricketer Wasim Akram had used his late wife to fulfill his "sexual fantasies". Akram had sent a legal notice to Reham for the "defamatory comments" after excerpts from her book leaked online a few weeks ago.

Julio Cruz (28/2/1953 - 12/5/2005) foi um médico brasileiro de projeção internacional. Nascido no Rio de Janeiro, mudou-se ainda jovem com a família para São Paulo. Formou-se pela Faculdade de Medicina do ABC, em Santo André (SP), e fez doutorado pela Escola Paulista de Medicina. Fez boa parte de sua carreira de neurocirurgião e pesquisador nos Estados Unidos, onde criou a Isoneurem (International Society for Neuroemergencies), organizou e participou de congressos em outros países, e ficou conhecido por seus estudos sobre tratamento de traumatismo craniano, que salvaram muitas vidas.

Cruz recebeu, no início de 2005, a Ordem de Excelência do Século XXI, do Centro Biográfico Internacional de Cambridge, Inglaterra, que o considerou um dos 200 maiores intelectuais do mundo, de todas as áreas. Cruz descobriu que a aplicação otimizada e rápida— do medicamento manitol em pacientes em estado de coma pode aumentar de 20% para 76% o índice de sobrevivência. Ele publicou 55 artigos científicos em revistas indexadas, o que, segundo a Medline (base de dados da Biblioteca Nacional de Medicina dos EUA), representava o maior número de publicações na área de neurociência pelo menos até seu falecimento, ocorrido em São Paulo, em 12 de maio de 2005.

Estes feitos foram destacados na época em diversas reportagens, publicadas no Jornal da Tarde ("Com simplicidade, uma revolução médica"), jornal O Estado de S.Paulo ("Médico brasileiro ganha prêmio internacional") e na revista Ciência e Cultura ("Superdose reduz morte cerebral em pacientes em coma").

Como é comum na comunidade científica, sua obra é questionada na literatura. Foram levantadas dúvidas sobre a veracidade dos dados apresentados em seus artigos científicos, quando ele já havia falecido. Questionados a respeito, os co-autores (Giulio Minoja, Enrico Facco e Kazuo Okuchi), que aplicaram as técnicas desenvolvidas por Cruz em seus países, Itália e Japão, afirmaram o seguinte: "O Dr. Cruz foi uma liderança no campo das lesões cerebrais nos anos 80 e 90. Foi o clínico mais brilhante e o pesquisador mais honesto e rigoroso que conhecemos. Qualquer acusação de falsidade é incompatível com sua personalidade, profissionalismo e biografia".

Stunning Dubrovnik is aptly surnamed the `Pearl of the Adriatic;` it is one of the most beautiful cities on the Croatian coast. Many buildings in the old city center testify of its glorious past and its Venetian influence. The ancient walls of Dubrovnik girdle a perfectly preserved complex of public and private, sacred and secular buildings representing all periods of the city`s rich history, beginning with its founding in the 7th century.

Diocletian`s Palace is the gem of the Old Town, a pedestrianized zone which includes the beautiful riverwalk called Riva.

Imagine beautiful fields of Croatian lavender and rolling green hills and you would be imagining the Stari Grad Plain, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The plain sits between two sizable towns, Stari Grad and Jelsa, which are full of history and charm. The largest town, named after the island, sits on the southwest coast.

The city is over 2,000 years old, and many remnants of the Roman castrum of Parentium are still available for tourists to see today, including two fully-preserved Roman streets, Decumanus Street and Cardo Maximus Street. Venetian influence is noteworthy, particularly in the Old Town, as a result of the Republic of Venice`s five-century rule of the city then called Parenzo. Porec`s most noteworthy sight is the Euphrasian Basilica, built in the Byzantine architectural style in the sixth century, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The touristy, beachside areas of town are located in distinct zones away from the Old Town, with the most popular of those zones being Plava Laguna, Zelena Laguna, Bijela Uvala, and Brulo.

Other noteworthy sights include the Temple of Augustus, the Gate of Hercules, and the Arch of the Sergii.

WHY ZADAR?
The Croatian influence on Zadar has been evident for a millennium, but many other groups made their homes here as well: the Ancient Romans, the Byzantines, the Austrians, the Venetians, the Hungarians, and the Italians. Long an important city in what is now the Dalmatia region of Croatia, Zadar reached its zenith during the time of the Venetians, in particular during the Renaissance. The Venetians heavily fortified the city, and the city fortifications are listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Away from the walled Old Town, the siren songs of beaches and marinas beckon the moneyed and fashionable traveler.

Over Here! és un musical amb una partitura de Richard M. Sherman i Robert B. Sherman i llibre de Will Holt. La producció original de Broadway va ser dirigida per Tom Moore i coreografiada per Patricia Birch, amb escenografia de Douglas W. Schmidt i vestuari de Carrie F. Robbins.

Over Here! va ser un seguiment del musical dels germans Sherman de la Segona Guerra Mundial Victory Canteen, una producció de l'Off-Broadway que va comptar amb la icona dels anys quaranta Patty Andrews. L'escenari és un viatge en tren a través dels Estats Units durant la Segona Guerra Mundial (d'aquí el nom de l'obra, en contraposició a l'himne de guerra patriòtica popular titulat Over There). L'espectacle comença amb una mirada nostàlgica a Amèrica dels anys quaranta (on domina la moda, la música, les grans bandes i el swing dance), però evoluciona ràpidament en un comentari social sobre la por de morir en la batalla, els prejudicis i la discriminació.

Produccions
Després de tretze prèvies, l'espectacle es va estrenar el 6 de març de 1974 al Shubert Theatre, on va representar-se 341 vegades i es va convertir en la producció més important de la temporada de Broadway de 1974. És reconegut en gran manera com el musical de Broadway que va llançar moltes carreres. El repartiment de la nit d'obertura va incloure Patty i Maxene Andrews (de les Andrews Sisters) i els novells John Travolta, Treat Williams, Marilu Henner, Samuel E. Wright, i Ann Reinking, tots ells van seguir aconseguint carreres d'èxit. Tot i seguir captant l'atenció del públic, l'espectacle es va tancar el 4 de gener de 1975 en condicions polèmiques. "Els productors van culpar a Patty i Maxine, al·legant que volien més diners i van fer demandes raonables i van cancel·lar la gira nacional. Les germanes Andrews van culpar els productors, afirmant que havien gestionat malament el programa des del principi i que ara les utilitzaven com a boc expiatori". Segons un article del The New York Times , la gira es va cancel·lar a causa d'una "disputa salarial" entre les germanes Andrews i els productors.

Radar online i el lloc oficial informaren que Cody Linley protagonitzaria una nova producció de Over Here! prevista per a principis del 2010 al Saban Theatre, Beverly Hills i una pàgina web oficial amb audicions obertes. En una entrevista, Linley va confirmar que interpretaria el paper de Bill. La producció es va ajornar indefinidament.

La producció ajornada del 2010 havia de ser una producció "totalment nova" amb un llibre modificat pel dramaturg original Will Holt, coreografiat per Tony Stevens, dissenyat pel dissenyador de la Royal Court Mark Walters amb el dissenyador associat Christopher Hone i el dissenyador de vestuari David Toser, amb la supervisió musical de David Barber. Dick Van Dyke havia acceptat encapçalar un repartiment de múltiples estrelles; tanmateix, es va veure obligat a retirar-se dies abans de la data d'inici quan la malaltia de la seva parella Michelle es va convertir en terminal. En no poder trobar un reemplaçament immediat per a Van Dyke en un termini tan breu, els productors van reprogramar la producció per estrenar-se a Califòrnia el 2016, després de la qual es preveia fer una gira als Estats Units.

Hi va haver una revival al Off-Broadway del 2019 al Triad Theatre de la ciutat de Nova York protagonitzada per Debbie Gravitte, Haley Swindal com Pauline, Jessica Hendy com Paulette, Nikka Graff Lanzarone com Mitzi, Mark William, Dani Apple i Kristina Nicole Miller. La producció va ser adaptada en un únic acte de 85 minuts pel director Will Nunziata, el director musical Blake Allen i el coreògraf Andrew Black.

Sinopsi
Norwin Spokesman, MC per a la vetllada i factotum general, configura l'estat d'ànim del període amb una cançó que podria haver estat escrita per a la Glenn Miller Band.

Alguna vegada a principis dels anys quaranta. Un tren surt de Los Angeles per fer una travessa d'una setmana per tot el país. A bord hi ha reclutes, com Bill, Lucky i Utah, de camí a Nova York on s'embarcaran cap a Europa on la guerra està en curs. Amb ells hi ha diverses amistats i viatgers civils, com la mare i el pare, que volen ajudar els joves soldats fins que arribi el moment de veure'ls marxar, i Rankin, un executiu de l'automòbil, que guanya molts diners per la guerra i està en camí cap a Washington per a consultes d'alt nivell amb els seus amics polítics.

A bord també hi ha Pauline i Paulette DePaul, dues germanes cantants, a la recerca del seu gran esclat al món de l'espectacle, però que té com a principal responsabilitat han mantenir la moral de les tropes i fer funcionar la cantina. L'Oficina d'Informació de la Guerra proposa fer una emissió des del tren mentre es desplaça per tot el país, l'oportunitat mateixa per la qual les DePauls han estat esperant ... si només poden trobar una tercera veu. Com observa Pauline, "cap duo mai va arribar al Big Time". Però amb tanta gent al voltant, no hauria de ser difícil trobar una altra cantant que sigui capaç de proporcionar la veu de gamma mitjana necessària per transformar el seu número en un trio.

Aquesta concentració de tropes està destinada a atreure l'interès de l'enemic i l'espiona nazi, Mitzi, un antiga cantant de cabaret alemany, també puja al tren per tal d'aplegar la màxima informació possible. Està en constant contacte amb la seva xarxa a través del pintallavis amb el qual repara freqüentment el seu maquillatge, però que en realitat és un transmissor de ràdio.

Quan el tren surt de LA, l'estat d'ànim a bord està en un animat, estimulat pel fet que els viatgers senten que estan en camí cap a un enfrontament victoriós amb l'enemic. Només June, la xicota de Bill, té dolents i, en una decisió d'última hora, salta a bord sense bitllet, sense diners, sense res, excepte el simple vestit de festa que porta. Si això no fos prou dolent, June també s'enfronta a un altre problema: a Bill li agradaria que "anés fins a la carretera", cosa que ella nega amb rotunditat.

Les germanes DePaul, conscients de la difícil situació de June, l'apuntar a treballar amb elles a la cantina. Mentre proporcionen als soldats tot el que necessiten, cigarrets, begudes i ànims, les germanes cantants s'il·luminen quan senten que Lucky diu que és de Jersey City. Segons recorden, van aparèixer allà una vegada, a Charlie's Place, una immersió de dissabte a la nit.

Mentrestant, Pare i Rankin han tret Bill per a una conversa greu entre homes; però llavors comencen a recordar-se sobre les seves pròpies aventures de la Primera Guerra Mundial i els records que han deixat enrere.

En una altra part del tren, les DePauls han estat va enrolades per part del portaveu, que ara actua com a Sarge, per donar conferència als reclutes sobre higiene bàsica i els perills del que anomenen "la polka VD". Un cop finalitzada la conferència, Paulette suggereix que Mitzi ajudi a la cantina. Per animar a Bill, que està cada cop més deprimit pels constants rebutjos de June, Mitzi parla sobre el "qui esperava" mentre el seu amant estava fora combatent i no va tornar mai més. Arribats a aquest moment, June anuncia que, per a l'esforç bèl·lic, està recollint ferralla, inclosos pintallavis, i ràpidament recull Mitzi que havia quedat en un taulell de sobre. L'espant horrorós de Mitzi crida l'atenció que Pauline i Paulette reconeixen de seguida com el so que buscaven. Així,Mitzi esdevé la tercera veu al númro de les DePauls.

At. nit, el juny finalment accepta sacrificar els seus ideals en la causa de la guerra i comparteix un dormidor amb Bill. De sobte declara que no dormirà amb June a menys que estiguin casats, una causa immediata de celebració.

A mesura que el viatge continua, el tren queda de sobte deixat de costat per permetre que un altre tren, que portava a FDR, avancés. Tothom està entusiasmat davant la vista del President, que somriu i fa agitar la seva mà, tret de Sam, el porter negre, que és plenament conscient que no està convidat a la "Big Party" i que explica en la seva pròpia broma al Sarge que no és un ionqui.

Després de set dies, els esperits dels passatgers comencen a desgastar-se i l'humor s'enfosqueix. Fins i tot Paulette, l'optimisme de la qual sovint ha estat font d'alegria, sembla sentir-se trista. Amb l'objectiu de restablir la moral, l'Oficina d'Informació de Guerra, en la persona del Portaveu, avança la retransmissió prevista i ofereix als passatgers la possibilitat de revelar els seus somnis de cara al futur. Utah, un jove recluta increïblement idealista, i Donna, una cambrera que va deixar la seva feina per treballar a una planta de defensa, es veuen obligats. Fins i tot les DePauls aconsegueixen la seva oportunitat d'arribar al Big Time, amb una mica d'ajuda de Mitzi. Les germanes no saben que Mitzi va inserir un missatge en codi Morse a la seva cançó, però Lucky és capaç de desxifrar-lo. Mitji sospita sobre Mitzi i, quan en un "patriòtic" esforç per demostrar que és estatunidenca canta la segona estrofa del himne nacional, és descoberta: "no hi ha cap americà que se sàpiga la segona estrofa de l'himne". Afortunadament, no s'ha pogut emetre: d'alguna manera Utah havia connectat malament el sistema de so.

I això forma part dels records de la Segona Guerra Mundial al front local nord-americà: un temps amb un propòsit unit i temors comuns, un esforç comunitari, retransmissions de notícies de ràdio, grans bandes, instantànies, poblacions petites, abraçades ràpides i sense adéus.

ILS and Atlas Successfully Launch Another Payload for NRO
CAPE CANAVERAL AIR FORCE STATION, Fla., Oct. 11, 2001 – An Atlas IIAS rocket lifted off late last night, successfully carrying a national security payload into orbit.
The mission was provided for the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) by International Launch Services (ILS), using a Lockheed Martin-built launch vehicle. Liftoff was at 10:32 p.m. EDT (2:32 GMT) from Cape Canaveral's Pad 36B, with payload separation into transfer orbit 29 minutes later.
"ILS is honored to have a role in enhancing our nation's security by launching this NRO payload," said ILS President Mark Albrecht. "Every one of these missions is vitally important for national defense."
Albrecht noted that this is the second national security payload for Atlas in a month's time, and the third in less than a year. ILS successfully launched an NRO payload Sept. 8 from Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif., and last Dec. 5 from Cape Canaveral. "The Altas family has a proud heritage in launching government payloads for more than 40 years. We're continuing that partnership into the 21st century with our Atlas II, III and V vehicles," he said.
Last night's launch vehicle, the Atlas IIAS, can lift 8,200 pounds to geosynchronous transfer orbit. The upgraded Atlas III can lift up to 9,920 pounds, and the next-generation Atlas V is available in a range of configurations to lift payloads up to 19,000 pounds.
ILS is a joint venture of Lockheed Martin, which builds the Atlas vehicles, and Russian companies Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center and RSC Energia, which build the Proton vehicles. ILS provides launch services to customers worldwide, including technical, management and marketing expertise. The company is headquartered in McLean, Va., a suburb of Washington, D.C.
The Atlas V family is designed both for ILS commercial missions and to meet the U.S. Air Force requirements for the Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle (EELV). The first vehicle in the Atlas V series, built by Lockheed Martin Space Systems in Denver, is being prepared at Cape Canaveral, Fla., for its inaugural flight next May.
The Atlas V vehicle incorporates state-of-the-art designs, materials and processes, including the throttleable, Russian-built RD-180 engine, the first variable-thrust main engine to power a U.S. expendable launch vehicle.
The RD-180, and most of the other technologies for Atlas V, were flight-proven last year, during ILS' successful initial launch of the Atlas III rocket.
The Atlas rockets and their Centaur upper stages are built by Lockheed Martin Space Systems Company-Astronautics Operations at facilities in Denver, Colo.; Harlingen, Texas; and San Diego, Calif. ILS' three-stage Proton and the available Breeze M upper stage are produced by Khrunichev at its factory near Moscow. The available Block DM fourth stage is built by Energia, also near Moscow.

Edinburgh team leading the way in personalised cancer vaccines
The Almac Group provides a range of development and manufacturing services to the global pharmaceutical and biotechnology markets, including supply and distribution of materials for clinical trials.
Being in Edinburgh is great for us because, on top of good local recruitment, the site is surrounded by academic institutions and other science parks.
Alastair Hay, Almac Group
The Almac Group is headquartered in Northern Ireland, and has over 5,000 employees worldwide across 17 facilities in the US, Europe and Asia. The company has an unusual ownership, with no shareholders or investors. Instead, it is owned by a charitable institution – the McClay Foundation – set up by Almac founder Sir Allen McClay, and all the profits are reinvested into the company. In 2004, Almac established a presence in Edinburgh through the acquisition of Albachem, a company with expertise in the manufacture of small proteins for pharmaceutical research.
Today, Almac offers a range of protein manufacturing services in Edinburgh, generating custom products for universities, biotechs and large pharma companies, as well as providing tech transfer from lab-scale processes to large-scale manufacturing. More recently, the company has become the first GMPaccredited lab to produce personalised cancer vaccines for clinical trials. Alastair Hay, Account Manager – Peptides, explained: "This is an exciting new era for oncology. Typically, it takes around 14 weeks to manufacture one peptide for clinical use, but these peptides are needed much faster. To achieve this, we brought together a team – recruited from within the company and the local talent pool – who could make peptides really quickly, and had the mindset to do it. We can now produce about 20 peptides within three weeks. Despite this, the core methodologies for peptide manufacturing can still be traced back to the company's academic roots in Edinburgh, and the first employee of the original company is still with us!"
Investment in its protein manufacturing services led to Almac outgrowing its previous facility, and so it relocated to the Edinburgh Technopole site in 2015. The site not only allows the company to meet its current workload demands, but also provides space for future growth. Alastair added: "When we moved to the Technopole, many of the services were in place, but we had a lot of bespoke requirements, and needed to reconfigure the space to suited our business. The Technopole team were able to quickly resolve any challenges and we have a very good relationship with them. Being in Edinburgh is great for us because, on top of good local recruitment, the site is surrounded by academic institutions and other science parks. This means there's a good core of companies in the area that use our services, because we're only a stone's throw away. Above all, it's great to be in a biotech hub recognised for hosting high tech companies."

Got exactly the same problem when I play that started came left a display of values the submarine.
And has wondered why the energy at once was 53% and when I tag the previously saved she was almost full!
Also can't find space in the console in the machines upgrade!
Hope this is fixed soon, would also be nice who you the upgrade after you had it can recreate if it wants to build another submarine.
Same. After saving, quitting and re-loading, the three hull reinforcement upgrade modules which I placed in the upgrade console before saving had disappeared. The effects were gone with them, so there aren't any invisible objects in the upgrade console slots.
Just to verify that I am talking about the upgrade modules which increase the safe and crush depths of the Cyclops.
Yes. We all have the same issue with this. To duplicate, create any cyclops upgrade and equip it to the sub. Save, exit, and reload. The upgrades will now be gone. It's not the upgrades themselves though. I've tested this one too. They're not disappearing if they're stored in a locker or inventory.
Work around to keeping them is to stash them in inventory or locker before saving and only equip them when in use.
Well it is necessary to wait for a new game start and always remember Yes?
The issue with that is the power module can't be recreated as it's a one off in the Aurora.
I probably won't play the game till this is fixed since it has a direct effect on the durability on the Cyclops and thus exploration.
There have been half a dozen threads on this already; they are working on it.
Have inserted since the problem a break, good to know but that they're working on it.
I have the same problems with my 2 Cyplops, one had the power upgrade and two Hull modules, the other one had three Hull upgrades, all gone since the update. And I have a big Bug with my seamoth, after every reloading, my seamoth are not docking in my Cyclops, they spawned everytime half way to the Aurora.
I know this threat is dead as all heck but 2017 and I still get this bug, completely trashed my save and ruined it for me. Two days of playing down the drain.
2019 and still the same problem. WTF is going on?
Does anyone not have this problem?
Same. I've been doing the locker work around but saved when I was away from my base. Loaded the game and they were gone again. It's every time now.

How to make Panospheres – on a budget!


Light gold in color with very little head but leaving some good laving in the first half of the glass. On draft at Mirage in Las Vegas so trying something local.
Slight carbonation with a slight bite on the tongue and light viscosity. A bit of dankness on the nose.
Grassy, pine notes hit you first with some citrus bitterness followed by just a slight bit of bread on the finish. No real maltiness.
Pretty easy drinker when in the area.
Grabbed this one while in Utah. Perhaps the first Vegas (maybe even Nevada) brew I've ever tried.
Has a foamy, dirty white froth. Color is pale orange. Aroma consists of equal parts resin and orange. Tastes of grapefruit juice and orange zest with a bit of piney bitterness in the finish. Medium in body and fairly smooth.
Just another IPA in the forest.
This beer pours amber in color with a slight haze. It is topped with two inches of off white head that leaves nice lacing.
The aroma is pine and resinous.
It starts out with caramel malt. Then there is a slap to the face of pine and bitterness.
It is a good example of a west coast style IPA. I prefer my Midwest, juicy IPA's, but it is good for bitter beer lovers.
Pours a hazy golden color. Aroma citrus and pine with hints of malts. Flavor is a little citrusy a little light and refreshing. Has good balance and overall very good.

Q: When and how should DAPI and SAPI be used? I`m totally new to Bloomberg and using Bloomberg api in python/flask
I tried to read all the documentation provided by the windows SDK
I understand that DAPI is only for local applications using localhost and default port
but actually I am confused about the usage of SAPI Installation and usage...

First:
after installing sapi on machine with bloomberg terminal and letting the sapi process up , I will write an application by python code that import blbapi and use the sapi
should this application be on the same machine , or it can be on another machine and give it the ip and port of the sapi process and should the other machine have bloomberg terminal too?

second:
what about the client side, any browser which open this application should the clients have bloomberg terminal too??
Excuse my naive question ..
Thanx in advance

A: Python application machine doesn't have to have a Bloomberg terminal installed. You will only need Bloomberg libraries installed (but not terminal) software.
You need to provide "ip of terminal pc" + "uuid" when making a connection to SAPI.
Also, the user/terminal must be logged in.
Check and be very careful with licensing. You can try asking your account manager.
Don't take this as licensing advice, but different exchanges and data sources can have different rules around the data so it depends what data you pulling. As I understand the data pulled by a user/script is for that specific terminal owner only.
Different terminal "owners" with the same access might not be allowed to see the data pulled by other scripts/users.

A: SAPI allows you to use BBG data off the machine where the user is logged in HOWEVER this data can not be viewed by anyone but the logged in user - for legal reasons rather than technical ones.
The typical use case for SAPI is there complicated calculatios (be it exotic pricing or realtime portfolio risk) is being performed that aren't practical on the desktop.
Be aware that all BBG data and calculations are tied to the user, the data can't be given to anyone else...

All Asian Primates
Authors Sylvain Beauséjour, Anthony B. Rylands & Russell A. Mittermeier
Publisher Lynx Ediciones
Size 28 × 22 cm
Images Colour images and distribution maps
Year publsihed 2021
All Asian Primates features the most beautiful images of the Asian apes, monkeys and prosimians, including the rarest, photographed by more than 200 naturalists, professional and amateur photographers, primatologists and wildlife organizations.
This collection portrays 131 species and, including the currently recognized subspecies of 26 of them, 193 Asian primates overall. Just for the sake of completeness, also included is the Barbary macaque of northern Africa, the only living member of the genus from outside of Asia. Other than the Barbary macaque and the Hamadryas baboon, all are endemic to South, Southeast and East Asia. Coverage is also provided for some 19 described subspecies that today are not considered valid (the scientific names attributed to them are given in parentheses), along with the different pelage colour forms of nine of the species and subspecies.
A distribution map, a short introductory text, and a listing of the species and subspecies introduce each chapter devoted to the five Asian primate families, their subfamilies and genera. A photo montage shows a close-up of the face and, behind it, when possible, males, females and young in the habitat, for each species and subspecies. On the opposite page, each taxon is accompanied by its scientific name, a common name in English and French, and its Red List status. There is a map and a description of their geographic range, along with brief but fully referenced notes on their taxonomy (nomenclatural history), and a summary of the threats each face and their conservation measures, including notable protected areas where they mainly occur. There is even a QR code that users can access for details of the taxon on the IUCN Red List website.
A final section lists the Asian primate species and subspecies in each of the 22 countries where they occur.
This book will engage its readers towards the goal of protecting and restoring a remarkable and vital element of Asia's rich biodiversity. It presents us with the full range of Asian primates, so many of which are today threatened with extinction. It is built on the work of countless scientists, conservationists, and wildlife photographers, providing us with information to learn and understand more about each of the 193 primate species and subspecies in Asia that have been named and described, and their biogeography, which has been uncovered through centuries of research and exploration. The astonishing photos bring to life every species and subspecies, generating hope and inspiration to save our closest cousins.

Pinguy OS - Probably the Best Ubuntu Derivative I have Ever Used!
Pinguy OS - not many must have heard about it. Pinguy OS is basically a heavily modified Ubuntu with an emphasis on the out-of-the-box functionality of the OS and more importantly on the look-good factor. And I got to tell you folks, on every count, my experience with Pinguy OS was well above average.
Pinguy OS is basically a remastered Ubuntu which just works out of the box without a hitch and also, it looks and feels so damn pretty. Here, I will try my best to point out things that I loved about Pinguy OS and also some other things that bothered me.
As I said before, experience I had with Pinguy OS was delightful. And the interesting part is, I didn't even install Pinguy OS in my laptop. Instead, I tried out the live DVD version of Pinguy OS from my USB drive. Actually, I am writing this blog post right from live Pinguy OS.
One of the first things you notice while using Pinguy OS is the overall robustness and responsiveness of the OS. Normally, when you try to open say, Nautilus file browser for example, there will be a slight delay. But somehow, that delay is completely absent in Pinguy OS. I figured out that, Pinguy OS comes with Preload installed. But even with Preload, my Ubuntu machine didn't felt as robust. And I was not even using the properly installed version of Pinguy OS!
Default Pinguy OS looks beautiful too. It comes preinstalled with useful Conky menu, Docky, Nautilus Elementary, Gloobus Preview and also has Elementary as the default GTK theme. Many of the above features are among the first things every savvy Ubuntu user would do after installing Ubuntu. For reference, you should check out this collection of things I did after installing Ubuntu Maverick.
After installing Pinguy OS, I had to do nothing, except for removing unnecessary applications, about which we will discuss in more detail below. Pinguy OS does the branding part also quite nicely. I liked the Pinguy OS logo and the way it is displayed in the boot screen.
Nothing really, except the sheer amount of applications that comes default with Pinguy OS. I consider myself as a pretty heavy user of applications and even I find this list of applications completely overblown. Some of the applications that comes installed with Pinguy OS and that I most probably won't use include DeVeDe, GNOME MPlayer(prefer SMPlayer), pms-linux, Torrent Episode Downloader, gpicview, Pinta, Ailurus, mvPod to name a few.
Both 32 bit and 64 bit version of Pinguy OS is available for download. Visit Pinguy OS download page for more information.
Pinguy OS is undoubtedly the best Ubuntu derivative I have used and I won't mind rating it even above Linux Mint. I would prefer a much lighter version of Pinguy OS though. So, next time when a wannabe Linux user comes to me asking for a good Linux desktop that just works, Pinguy OS will be my first choice.

Q: Prove that $\lim_{n \to \infty}{\sqrt{n+\sqrt{n}}} = \lim_{n \to \infty}{\sqrt{n}}$ This question is spurred by my discussion here: Find the value of : $\lim_{x\to\infty}\sqrt{x+\sqrt{x+\sqrt{x+\sqrt{x}}}}-\sqrt{x}$
My question is how do you prove what @Ant is claiming? It looks like a very useful simplification  when the number of nested radical signs grow big. So I'm looking for a proof of:
$$\lim_{n \to \infty}{\sqrt{n+\sqrt{n}}} = \lim_{n \to \infty}{\sqrt{n}}$$
or at least a proof that one of the expressions can be substituted for the other in limit calculations.

A: Are you happy that
$$\lim_{n \to \infty} \sqrt n = \infty?$$
If so you just need to note that
$$\sqrt n \le \sqrt{n + \sqrt n}$$
and then take the limit as $n \to \infty$.

A: Assuming you want to prove that $$\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{\sqrt{n+\sqrt{n}}}{\sqrt{n}}=1$$ This follows by putting everything into one square root. $$\lim_{n\to\infty}\sqrt{\frac{n+\sqrt{n}}{n}}=\lim_{n\to\infty}\sqrt{1+\frac{1}{\sqrt{n}}}=1$$
Another way to show that is to show $$\sqrt{n}\leq\sqrt{n+\sqrt{n}}\leq\sqrt{n}+\frac12$$

A: Note however that: $$\lim_{n\to\infty} \left(\sqrt{n+\sqrt{n}}- \sqrt{n}\right)\ne 0$$
Multiply and divide by the rational conjugate:
$$
\require{cancel}
\begin{align}
\lim_{n\to\infty} \left(\sqrt{n+\sqrt{n}}- \sqrt{n}\right) & = \lim_{n\to\infty} \frac{\left(\sqrt{n+\sqrt{n}}- \sqrt{n}\right)\left(\sqrt{n+\sqrt{n}}+ \sqrt{n}\right)}{\sqrt{n+\sqrt{n}}+ \sqrt{n}} \\
 & = \lim_{n\to\infty} \frac{\cancel{n}+\sqrt{n} - \cancel{n}}{\sqrt{n+\sqrt{n}}+ \sqrt{n}} \\
 & = \lim_{n\to\infty} \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 + \cfrac{1}{\sqrt{n}}}+ 1} \\
 & = \frac{1}{2}
\end{align}
$$

ARIZONA April 2015: A pretty good mimic of the common pipevine swallowtail, this butterfly gives away the game by its aristocratic gliding style, quite unlike the swallowtail it mimics.
There is another form found along the Canadian border, the White Admiral, beyond the range of the pipevine swallowtail. That form loses the blue sheen and has a strong white band across the upperside, looking rather like the European Emperors.

Q: Is "regular" a technical term for a grammar? Reading the Go language specs, I read in the intro:
"The grammar is compact and regular, allowing for easy analysis by automatic tools such as integrated development environments."
Is the word "regular" here a technical term, or should it be interpreted just as a vague English word?

A: It's a technical term, but not the technical term you are thinking of.
In this case, "regular" means composed of few rules with with few corner cases.
The term for a grammar that describes a regular language is usually left-linear or right-linear, "regular grammar" in this sense is rather uncommon. A compact notation for describing regular languages are regular expressions.
Go's grammar is not in CH-3, i.e. not regular in that sense of the word, but it has a lot less corner cases than, say, Java, C#, C++ or C, so it is a lot more regular (in the other sense) than those.

A: "Regular" is a technical term for grammars, but I strongly doubt it is used with that meaning here as a regular grammar can describe only regular languages, which may also be described by regular expressions.


If you asked me at the beginning of last year what I would be doing this year, I might not have believed that in a little over a year I would not only start a successful home business with Young Living, but would make as much as my husband does at his fancy advertising job, with my income rising each month. It still seems so surreal that I can set my own hours, spend my time with my kids and educate people on how to live healthy lives, while making an excellent living. I not only feel blessed that I found the best job in the world, but I am so excited to be able to share this opportunity with others.
This job truly allows me to get out what I put into it. I want to be completely transparent. Every year, Young Living releases an income disclosure statement so people can see what actual Young Living distributors are making and I have friends at EVERY level listed on this sheet (I am currently a GOLD) and I can tell you that the numbers truly represent the average incomes. This does not mean that the people who reach high levels do not work very hard to get there. It simply means that hard work is rewarded.
To see the full income disclosure statement from Young Living, click here.
I don't want to take you away from a job you love. But everyone deserves to spend their time getting compensated for how hard they work and to have the flexibility to design their lives. That's what I get to do every single day. I set my work hours around my kids schedules and then when I AM working, it's incredibly satisfying, wonderful work. I want that for everyone. So, if you already have that somewhere else, GREAT. But if not, let's chat. You might just want to work with me.
It all starts with the essential oils. To learn more about getting started with a Young Living membership, click here. Or if you have a question, chat with me on Facebook.

Cody Wilson Resigns From 3D-Printed Gun Company After Arrest
By Michael Kan
25 Sep 2018, 10:56 p.m.
Cody Wilson resigned from Defense Distributed amid charges that he sexually assaulted a 16-year-old girl. Paloma Heindorff, previously VP of operations, is the company's new director.
Defense Distributed will continue to promote 3D-printed gun blueprints without its founder, Cody Wilson, who resigned from the company on Friday amid charges that he sexually assaulted a 16-year-old girl.
"We're still shipping and we have no intention of stopping," Defense Distributed's new director, Paloma Heindorff, said in a Tuesday press conference.
Going forward, Wilson will have no role with Defense Distributed, which is currently fighting off a legal attempt to prevent the firm from sharing 3D-printed gun files over the internet. Over a dozen states have banded together to temporarily stop Defense Distributed's DEFCAD site from hosting the files as free downloads. But in the meantime, a judge ruled the site can distribute blueprints to interested gun owners over email or snail mail.
SEE ALSO: 3D-Printed Gun Files Now Online, But There's a Catch
Starting late last month, Defense Distributed began taking advantage of this with plans to send interested customers the plans via USB file drives. "We had about 3,000 orders," Heindorff said on Tuesday. "I'm really pleased to say our team has been shipping them out like crazy. We've put about 1,500 out for the moment."
Defense Distributed's lawyers offered no major update on its court battle to share the gun blueprints as free downloadable files. But Heindorff said the company has raised about $400,000 from the public to help pay for legal costs.
"We believe that people have the right to have these files," she said. "We believe in our right to publish them. I believe very strongly in the First and Second Amendment."
Prior to becoming the director, Heindorff was working as Defense Distributed's vice president of operations and helped with sales, marketing, and hiring. It currently employs 20 full-time workers and contractors.
Heindorff said she joined Defense Distributed three years ago after moving from New York, where she worked in the creative arts, and did spoken word poetry. "In my view, I found [Defense Distributed] to be the most elegant and effective activism performed, and I wanted to be a part of that," Heindorff said in explaining why she joined the group. "I just found it incredible that this company persisted."
In addition to leading Defense Distributed, Heindorff said she's also taking over as CEO of Ghost Gunner, another Wilson-created project that has been selling a 3D printer capable of producing aluminum-made gun parts. "We've got a couple things we plan on launching," she said.
Heindorff declined to comment on Wilson and the charges against him, which were filed last week in his home state of Texas. He's accused of having sex with a 16-year-old girl and paying her $500 in cash. Wilson was filmed leaving a Texas county jail on Sunday after posting his $150,000 bond.
Meanwhile, the news comes as a puppet technician for Broadway's The Lion King was arrested for using a 3D printer at the theater to print a gun, NPR reports. The man, Ilya Vett, said he got the gun plans from the internet; he was charged with attempted criminal possession of a firearm.

Cameron Hardy's " I Thought You Were Lonely" Is Only the Beginning
After spending his teen years as an actor, Cameron Hardy debuts his first single as a promising up-and-coming pop artist. And his debut comes in a big way. Posted up across America, we've seen billboards on billboards about this kid. From Sunset Boulevard to Times Square, Hardy is a name we haven't been able to miss. "I Thought You Were Lonely" seems to be only the beginning.
Working in the studio for nearly two years, Hardy has been building up quite the catalog of music. Working with notable producers, Hardy has been building up his independent career like no other. "I Thought You Were Lonely" was one of the first songs Hardy had ever written as an artist. It was also one of the first times he had ever left a session feeling confident in what he was writing.
Hardy is a storyteller at heart. Whether it's fiction or a situation he's personally lived through, he paints a vivid picture through heartfelt lyrics and emphatic production. And with his debut single, he felt it was important to really show the industry what he's about.
"I knew going into this, I didn't want to half ass anything. So, from the very beginning, I was very particular on how I wanted my music to sound. How I want to come across, the things I wanted to say within my music, this has to be me. I want people to get a really good look at me and who I am as an artist."
The single arrives hand in hand with an eye-catching music video. After a year of creating the video itself in increments due to the ongoing pandemic, the process was long but inevitably worth it. Something so indescribable, you just need to see it with your own eyes. But, that may be the best part of Hardy. We don't know where he came from, or who exactly he is, but we're here for it and excited to see where this year takes him.

Movie Night: "Bridge of Spies"
I loved this movie. Loved. It. I couldn't stand the last Spielberg film I saw, which was "Lincoln" (aside from Daniel Day-Lewis' performance I was bored stiff) and before that "War Horse" (overly sentimental), nor do I have much interest in spy stories (I fell asleep during the most recent film based on a John Le Carre novel). But "Bridge of Spies" got such great reviews today and Michael loves anything having to do with the CIA, so off we went. And I was riveted from the opening credits.
Based on a true story that I didn't remember from my history books, Tom Hanks plays James Donovan, an insurance lawyer who is tapped to defend Soviet spy Rudolf Abel (played by the great Mark Rylance in a best supporting actor-caliber performance) in order to arrange an exchange for American spy-plane pilot Francis Powers, who's being held in a Russian prison. Donovan rises to the occasion and mounts a spirited defense of Abel, risking the wrath of his fellow Americans, including his family, and soon becomes embroiled in espionage involving the intelligence communities of the USA, Russia and East Germany.
The story moves at a brisk pace, despite the movie's nearly two-and-a-half-hour running time, and the plot hurdles toward an extremely tense and touching finale that left me both breathless and weeping. Yes, I actually shed tears at the end of a spy movie! The ending is uplifting and full of patriotism without being in-your-face-rah-rah. And the cinematography is outstanding. It not only captures 1950s era New York but also the bleakness of East Germany. And the script is great, thanks to a rewrite by the inimitable Coen brothers, who inserted humor in what might have been an otherwise grim film.
I can't recommend "Bridge of Spies" highly enough. I expected it to be prestige-type Best Picture Oscar bait, but I didn't expect it to move me the way it did. I was on such a high leaving the theater that I forgot my Yankees cap and had to go back and fish it out from between the seats. If the rest of the fall/winter movies are this good, it will be a stellar Oscar season for sure.

Movie Day: "Saving Mr. Banks"
Today's Cinema Society screening was one of the few this season I wasn't looking forward to. Judging by the trailer to the film and the subject matter (I've never been a "Mary Poppins" fan), I figured it would be hokey, corny, saccharine, just not my thing.
Surprise. I liked it. It charmed me in spite of my initial cynicism, in part because of the performance of the great Emma Thompson, who stars as P.L. Travers, the Poppins author who famously resisted Walt Disney's entreaties to make a movie – a musical, no less – of her beloved character. Tom Hanks is a wonderful Disney – a crafty businessman who loves to make everybody happy. He promised his daughters he would bring their favorite nanny to the big screen and spent 20 years trying to get Travers to let him option the rights. But when he brings her to L.A. for two weeks hoping to court her and convince her to go along with the deal, he discovers just how difficult she is. And during her stay, we come to understand why she's so angry through flashbacks to her childhood in Australia with her dreamer, alcoholic father (a very good Colin Farrell).
The film's director, John Lee Hancock, who directed Sandra Bullock to Oscar gold in "The Blind Side," knows how to showcase strong, difficult women with a soft center, and he does it again here. Yes, it's schmaltzy and yes, the script takes liberties with the real story of Travers and Disney, but it all works somehow and turns out to be holiday fare for the whole family.

Movie Day: "Captain Phillips"
Wow. What a movie. I'm still breathless after the Cinema Society screening this morning. When people talk about a movie being an "edge-of-your-seat thriller," they're talking about "Captain Phillips." It's rare when I don't have at least one nitpicky thing to say about a movie, but not this time. And most amazing of all is that it's based on a true story as told in the book A Captain's Duty: Somali Pirates, Navy SEALs, and Dangerous Days at Sea by Richard Phillips with Stephan Talty.
Just as British director Paul Greengrass did with "The Bourne Ultimatum" and "United 93," he uses almost a documentary style to tell the story of the 2009 hijacking of the U.S. container ship Maersk Alabama by a crew of Somali pirates. Captain Phillips, played by Tom Hanks, is a devoted family man from Vermont who captains a container ship bound for treacherous waters near Somalia. En route to his destination, an armed band of young Somali men, working for their "elders" and hungry for what they believe will be millions in ransom, charge onto the ship, ultimately take Phillips hostage in a tiny lifeboat and attempt to stave off the American navy dispatched to rescue the captain. The rescue operation is heart-stopping, but so is the relationship/test of wills between Phillips and Muse, his Somali counterpart, a wild-eyed, emaciated man-boy.
The movie has so many layers, both human and geo-political, and Hanks is absolutely superb. At first I thought he'd be playing yet another Everyman, but his stoicism gives way to such a visceral fear that I couldn't help reaching for the tissues. There will be a lot of competition in his category this year, but he gets an Oscar nomination for sure.
There was a Q&A with Greengrass after the screening, followed by a reception for him. I spent time with him and he couldn't have been more accessible. When I asked, for example, if a director who specializes in global thrillers ever watches comedies, he said, "Oh yeah! I love the ones with Will Ferrill. He's hilarious."

"Larry Crowne" – Euwww
No, I didn't go see it. Why would I? The trailer says it all: bomb.
http://youtu.be/uS155D2HlwY
Apparently, it actually is a bomb, doing extremely weak business this holiday weekend. Should we be surprised, given that the movie pairs two mega-stars? And it's being billed as a rom com that even grownups can enjoy.
No surprise. Here's a bulletin for Universal: I'm a grownup but I happen to enjoy rom coms that have the following:
Actual chemistry between the two leads (I can't even stand the thought of these two kissing).
A story that doesn't defy credibility (two extremely rich movie stars playing down-and-out characters can be tricky, especially if one of them has already done the dumb thing in "Forrest Gump").
Snappy dialogue ("Brain freeze" is a line the studio picked for Julia Roberts to say in the trailer? Really?).
At least one or two fresh twists on the standard formula (not just she hates him in the beginning).
My fear is that Hollywood will go, "Look how that movie bombed. Let's forget rom coms and grownups altogether and just make 'Transformers' and 'Hangovers.'" Please no.

So Much For The Oscars
What a coma-inducing show that was.
(Courtesy: tsgquickdishing.com)
I was briefly hopeful at the very beginning when Hathaway and Franco were digitally inserted into the Best Picture nominated films, but I knew soon enough that I and the rest of the viewing audience were in for a looooong night. Were the dresses pretty? They were gorgeous. Were there any surprises in terms of the awards themselves? Not a one. Did everybody behave? Sure, except for Melissa Leo's F-bomb. This is what you get when you don't hire comedians to host the Oscars: a boring, boring broadcast. You want funny? Get funny people as your MC's.
Herewith some other suggestions:
Don't bother telling the winners not to thank everyone. They will anyway. They can't help themselves.
Don't try to make the show shorter by cutting the stuff we actually enjoyed – like the clips of previous winners.
When you do the "dead people montage," let the audience clap if they want to.
If you're going to bring back Billy Crystal, have him hang around for more than 10 seconds.
Persuade Sandra Bullock to present more than one award; she's entertaining.
Ditto: Tom Hanks.
Where were Meryl Streep and Diane Keaton, not to mention the others on my "women of a certain age" list?
Find a new writer for the show – someone who can actually write jokes.
Michael said after the final award was given out, "That's it. I'm never watching the Oscars again. It was such a waste of four hours."
He says that every year, but this time I can hardly blame him.
