Holmfirth Arts Festival worked with Edgelands Arts to create the parade with people from the Holme Valley community. The Parade had 10 sections covering the hill farmers, medieval hunting grounds, the flood of 1844, the industrial revolution, Luddites and weavers, the English Civil War, WW1, Bamforth's Moving Pictures, Last of the Summer Wine and Holmfirth's green future. The parade culminated in an historical promenade performance at Sands Recreation Ground, directed by Bev Adams, and including the premiere of a new song for Holmfirth, written by Charlie Wells, performed by the Holme Valley Singers.
250 people participated in parade making activities in schools and community groups prior to the parade and 250 people in families and of all ages and abilities took part in the parade which was seen by an audience of 2000 people. Children and young people took part in school groups and in their community groups, and families from lower socio-economic backgrounds participated in free drop in activities in the Market Hall. Participating groups under-represented in heritage included young people from the Scouts and Reach Performing Arts - young people of African and African Caribbean heritage. Adults from minority ethnic communities through Callaloo Carnival Arts and disability groups Callaloo Carnival Arts and Square Peg Activities also took part.
"Absolute heart warming joy to be part of Holmfirth parade on Sunday. People, smiles, laughter, creativity, generosity, kindness, pulling together, giving it a go Thank you @EdgelandsArts @HolmfirthARTS and everyone who made, paraded, watched, cheered & supported"

Holmfirth Folk Festival
It is recorded that there have been processions, parades and festivals in Holmfirth and the Holme valley for several centuries. These have included feasts, rush-bearings, ganging days, Whitsuntide walks and Sings. Some of these events have been religious in nature and promoted sobriety and moral uprightness but others were secular affairs, often quite bawdy. However, the origins of even secular festivals often had some earlier religious connection.
Several sources refer to a love of singing and music by local people which is reflected in the nature of events such as the various Sings, involving mass outdoor singing. Numerous local brass bands, whose origins were about the time of the end of the Napoleonic wars, also played their part in many of the outdoor festivities. An additional impetus behind events such as the Sings and Hospital Day processions was to raise money, particularly for local health provision and hospital building.
During the 20th century many of these organised festivals ceased: the reasons for this include that there was greater mobility of the local population who started to travel further afield during their free time; many chapel choirs no longer existed; Spring Bank Holiday replaced the previous Whitsuntide Bank Holiday; with the foundation of the NHS in 1948 there was no longer the same need to raise funds locally for health care. However, some celebrations, such as Hepworth Feast, still continue today and other festivals have arisen and given the people of the Holme Valley the opportunity to gather together. These more recent events include the Festival of Folk, Holmfirth Arts Festival and the Tour de France in 2014, which was an occasion of enjoyment and celebration for the hundreds of people that lined the route. According to The Huddersfield Examiner (9.6.19) in the 1970s and 1980s there was an annual torchlight procession of many local groups, hundreds of people lined the route and money collected went to local charities.
Rush-bearing and Ganging days: rush bearing was a predecessor of harvest festivals and continued until the 19th century. A decorated procession, often accompanied by musicians, travelled to church at harvest time to lay rushes in the pews to cover the mud floor. Ganging days occurred in the 17th Century whereby people went 'ganging' for the blessing of the crops. (1)
Feasts: According to Dr H.J. Moorhouse (2), writing in 1861, the earliest fair in Holmfirth was in October 1725 and the first Holmfirth Feast was held on Sunday May 22nd in the following year. A Mr Hobson recorded in his diary that he travelled to the Holmfirth Feast from Dodworth Green. The Holmfirth Feasts are described as lively affairs with performances by travelling players, cockfighting and bull-baiting. Eileen Williams (3), writing in 1975, suggests that such Feast days were connected to old church ceremonies which may in turn have been connected to the custom of Beating the Bounds, whereby a walk took place around the boundaries or parish limits of a town or village. Oral tradition has it that Hepworth Feast, which still takes place annually, has origins in the end of the Great Plague of 1655 - 1666. This continues to be held on the last Monday in June, local children are given the day off school and take part in a procession headed by a brass band to neighbouring villages and back to Hepworth. The children and band members are then given a tea and later there is a village Sing, running races and evening entertainment. Many local people still remember Honley Feast, which appears to have been a particular bawdy affair with origins dating back several centuries. This was traditionally held on the first Sunday following the 19th of September (a date said to be linked to the Festival of the Virgin Mary in the Roman Calendar). Although it had religious origins it developed into an occasion of popular merrymaking. According to The Huddersfield Examiner (3.1.16) the Honley Feast dated back to the 1800s and was a week long holiday with a fun fair and circus attracting thousands of people from all over. The Huddersfield Daily Chronicle (27.09.1881) records that during the Honley Feast that year there was a special event, the formal turning on of the Huddersfield Corporation water supply to Honley. Netherthong also has a strong tradition of festivals which had both religious and secular aspects. In the 1800s Sunday Schools of the Wesleyan Church, the Zion Methodist Church and the All Saints Parish Church would gather together in Towngate and led by a brass or silver band they would form a processions round the village prior to going back to their respective churches for a meal, meeting up later to play games and sports and listen to music. The first joint feast was in 1921 and with the closure of the Wesleyan Chapel and the Zion Church, All Saint's Church kept the tradition going and it became known as the Village Feast, also referred to as the School Feast, the Sing and School Feast and the Netherthong Feast and Walk. This in turn was replaced by the Netherthong Carnival. (4) Sings: the first Sing took place in Holmfirth in 1882. According to Angela Griffiths (5) the tradition of Sings is peculiar to Yorkshire and the area between Huddersfield, Wakefield and Barnsley specifically. The first Sing was held in Lockwood in 1873 and it is thought that this and other Sings arose out of a love of singing that was innate in the local people. Unlike Whitsuntide Walks, where everyone sang hymns in their church or chapel groups, the Sings had a lack of banners and all denominations stood and sang together. Sing Sunday was often held at the same time as the village feast and it was a time of great rejoicing, open-house and meeting with friends. One of the purposes of local Sings was to raise money, particularly for local hospitals and health provision. There were exceptions, between 1899 and1903 money was raised to help fund a new platform at Holmfirth station. With the inauguration of the NHS the Holmfirth Committee thought that one of the main functions of the Sing would be at an end so decided to put all their energies into a competitive music festival for children, held from 1946. The Holmfirth Sing ceased in 1992 due to lack of support from the public. The tradition was briefly revived in 2018 as part of the Holmfirth Arts Festival.
Whitsuntide Walks: these were also known as Whit Walks and they most often occurred on Whit Monday and in the north of England, with different Whit traditions such as Morris dancing in the south of England. Whit Sunday was the seventh Sunday after Easter, the time of Pentecost, when Christians celebrate the sending of the Holy Spirit to Christ's apostles, his first followers. Girls often had new white dresses for the Whit walk parades, linked to the Christian origins of the tradition. Brass bands, church and chapel choirs and banners were a feature of Whit walks. Most local villages and individual churches and chapels had Whit walks until the 1960s and1970s. Whit Monday (the day after Whit Sunday) was officially recognised as a bank holiday in the UK in 1871 and it remained so until 1978 when the moveable Whit Bank Holiday was replaced by the fixed Spring Bank Holiday in late May, losing the connection to Whitsuntide. This was one of the reasons for the demise of Whit Walks. On one notable Whit Monday in 1944, 29th May, after a hot and sunny afternoon, flash flooding following a severe thunderstorm caused the death of three people in the Holme Valley.
Special Occasion processions: Eileen Williams (6) states that upon the abolition of the Corn Laws in 1846 there were wild celebrations with the people of Jackson Bridge making an enormous pudding for the public, very similar to the first Denby Dale pie. Photographic evidence shows processions were held in the Holmfirth area at the end of the Boer war in 1902, to mark the Coronation of King George V and his wife Mary in 1911, to celebrate Peace in 1919 and for other events of national significance. In August 1927 there was a large gathering for the visit of HRH Princess Margaret and Viscount Lascelles to Holmfirth. The couple laid a foundation stone of the Children's Ward of Holmfirth Hospital and a wreath at the war memorial.
This brief description is not an exhaustive study of past celebrations in the Holme valley. However, from the information above it can be seen that the Holmfirth Arts Festival is a continuation of a tradition of people gathering together and celebrating which dates back centuries.

Located adjacent to the Grand Mosque in Makkah, the most important Islamic religious site, this 5,500 key, five-star hotel is planned as an expansion to an existing 1,800 key hotel. The hotel is designed to comfortably accommodate nearly 30,000 guests – the highest occupancy of any hotel in the world – during annual Hajj and Ramadan pilgrimages.
The five new towers feature striking massing, shaping outdoor public areas while splaying outward in a dramatic east-west orientation. They are joined by contiguous lower podium levels featuring grand lobbies, a wide variety of restaurants and prayer halls all planned around picturesque and beautifully landscaped terraces. The contemporary design is inspired by Islamic and Moorish traditions as found throughout the region and particularly as reflected in Andalusian and local Hijazi architecture. This influence is carried across the project informing the landscape design, architectural elements and interior design with traditional forms, patterns and materials.

Miss America Organization CEO Sam Haskell resigns amid email scandal
Sam Haskell resigned after leaked emails showed him demeaning former winners.

Miss America CEO resigns over email scandalMore than 50 former Miss America winners called for Sam Haskell to step down.Mel Evans/AP, FILE
— -- Miss America Organization CEO Sam Haskell resigned Saturday, two days after leaked internal emails surfaced showing him and others demeaning the appearance, intellect and personal lives of former pageant winners.
Dan Meyers, interim chairman of the Miss America Organization's board of directors, confirmed in a statement via Twitter that the board on Saturday afternoon accepted Haskell's resignation, "effective immediately." The board also accepted the resignation of chairman Lynn Weidner, who Meyers said will remain on the board for up to 90 days "to facilitate a smooth transition."
"The board thanks Lynn and Sam for many years of tireless work for, and significant financial support to, both the Miss America Organization and thousands of young women who received millions of dollars of educational scholarships from the organization as a direct result of their efforts," Meyers said in the statement.
A Miss America Organization spokesman confirmed to ABC News that the board also received and accepted the resignation of the president, Josh Randle, earlier Saturday. Randle will remain in his current capacity for several weeks at the board's request to facilitate a smooth transition, the spokesman said.
Haskell's resignation came one day after the Miss American Organization suspended him indefinitely while the board conducted "an in-depth investigation into alleged inappropriate communications and the nature in which they were obtained."
Haskell said in a statement Friday that he would abide by the suspension, but denounced the Huffington Post article that revealed the internal emails as "unkind and untrue."
"My mistake is a mistake of words," Haskell wrote in a statement issued Friday night, obtained by The Associated Press. "Much of what was reported is dishonest, deceptive, and despicable.
"The story is so unkind and untrue, and hurts me, my family, and the stewardship of this nonprofit," he wrote. "Those who know my heart know that this is not indicative of my character, nor is it indicative of my business acumen."
On Saturday, Randle said in a statement obtained by ABC News that his inappropriate response to an email about the appearance of 2013 Miss America Mallory Hagan came several months before he worked at the Atlantic City-based organization. The outgoing president apologized to Hagan nonetheless, saying in the statement that the comment does not reflect his values or those of the Miss America Organization.
He said, however, the Huffington Post article "implies alleged complicit participation on my part in a years-long array of inappropriate email communication, which is grossly misleading. Furthermore, the most egregious emails were exchanged in 2013 and 2014 and pre-date my employment altogether."
ABC News' Matthew Stone and Jason Volack contributed to this report.

New Test Begins To Help Scientists Respond To Coronavirus
By Richard Harris
DAVID GREENE, HOST:
We're covering the election as well as another big story - the coronavirus. As it spreads more widely around the globe, scientists are starting to use this powerful new tool. Researchers in Asia are using a blood test that identifies people who've previously been exposed to the virus. As NPR's Richard Harris reports, this is helping them figure out how to respond to COVID-19, the disease caused by coronavirus.
RICHARD HARRIS, BYLINE: The current lab test for the coronavirus used in the United States identifies people who are currently spreading the virus. And that's crucial information, but that test doesn't reveal who had previously been infected. That's important, too, for understanding the unfolding epidemic. Lauren Ancel Meyers at the University of Texas at Austin says these tests look for antibodies, which the body produces a week or two after someone has been infected.
LAUREN ANCEL MEYERS: They can identify people who have been infected but never identified as infected, either because they never developed symptoms or they had symptoms that were never correctly diagnosed.
HARRIS: That means the test can identify silent infections in addition to people who have recovered. If it turns out a ton of people got infected but didn't get sick, that means the virus is less fatal than it now appears. And Meyers says that's just one insight the test will bring.
MEYERS: One of the key questions that we're grappling with is, what's happening with children in this outbreak?
HARRIS: Very few have ended up in the hospital. Is that because they're not getting infected or they're getting infected but not getting sick? An answer to that question will help public health officials figure out whether it makes sense to close schools if there's a big outbreak.
MEYERS: Without knowing whether children are getting infected or the rate at which they're getting infected or how severe the disease is in children, it's really hard for us to project what the impacts of school closures might be.
HARRIS: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is currently developing an antibody test, but they're now playing catch-up with scientists in both Singapore and China. Dr. Stanley Perlman is a coronavirus researcher at the University of Iowa.
STANLEY PERLMAN: I think that the Chinese laboratories have been amazingly fast. I think they already have some tests that they're using. I haven't seen any publications to show that they're validated - and of course, that's what you want to know. But I think they're really capable of doing this pretty quickly.
HARRIS: Validating the test is critical. Otherwise, you have no idea how many false findings you're getting. You don't want to flag people who have been infected with one of the harmless coronaviruses that are already in wide circulation. Assuming the Chinese test is reliable, scientists there can figure out if these antibodies provide good protection against the disease and how long they persist. People who have been exposed to the virus might only be immune for a matter of months, Perlman says.
PERLMAN: So you could imagine - if the virus is around in a year and the antibodies wane, that maybe someone could be reinfected. Again, this is speculative. We don't know.
HARRIS: That could mean repeated waves of the disease rather than doing most of its damage in one particularly bad year. Because it takes the body some time to produce these antibodies, this test is not useful for tracking the illness in real time, so it won't replace the diagnostic test the CDC is currently running. But to understand where the epidemic is going, we need to know where it's been, says Andrew Pekosz at Johns Hopkins University.
ANDREW PEKOSZ: Has this virus ever entered the population undetected and been spreading? Again, if it's a mild disease that's induced by this, it may not have registered a large enough number of cases to get on the public health radar screen.
HARRIS: That was the case for Ebola and HIV. Those viruses circulated in humans for many years before scientists recognized the diseases they cause. Scientists discovered this by running an antibody test on blood that had been stored long ago. Pekosz says via Skype that this test can answer so many questions, demand for it will be fierce.
PEKOSZ: So you have to also think about scale of production and making sure that the test that you're doing can be scaled up for widespread use.
HARRIS: Since the federal government has declared a health emergency, approval will speed through the Food and Drug Administration. But first, they need a product they can evaluate.

← Should you Register for VAT and if so What Scheme?
If you have a business idea or you're in the early days of starting your business now is the time to start thinking about your business structure. The legal structure that you set your business up in can be changed, but getting it right from the start can save you a lot of time and money further down the line. In addition to this if you use the right structure from the start it can save you thousands from your tax bill and may protect your own personal assets should the worse happen with the business.
Individuals are subject to PAYE (which is Income Tax) and National Insurance (NI). If you are currently employed you will notice these deductions coming off your payslip. It's no different for Sole Traders and those in a Partnership – these groups of people are also subject to PAYE and NI but they don't receive payslips, therefore they have to complete an annual Tax Return and pay to the Government based on that.
Every individual is given a Personal Allowance on which they are not taxed – the current rate is £10,000 (but it can differ based on personal circumstances) any income above this level is taxed. The rate of tax is currently 20% for Basic Rate Taxpayers, 40% for Higher Rate Taxpayers and if your earnings are really high you could be paying 45%. Those falling into one of the higher bands only pay that percentage on the earnings that fall into that band, they would also pay at the lower earnings rate for the earnings applicable to those bands.
In addition to PAYE, NI must be calculated and paid to the Government for Sole Traders and Partnerships. There are 2 classes of NI applicable to Sole Traders and Partnerships – Class 2 & Class 4. Class 2 is a fixed weekly amount, it can be avoided if you earn less than £5,885 however not paying will mean you will lose NI credits which can affect your State Benefit and Pensions entitlement so it is wise to take further advice. The fixed amount is £2.75 per week. In addition if you earn over £7,956 you will accrue Class 4 NI at a rate of 9% up to £41,865 earnings, then the percentage drops to 2% for your earnings in excess of £41,865.
In summary you could be paying Tax and NI of up to 49% of your profits (40% PAYE & 9% NI) depending on your earnings level. This is regardless of whether or not the profits are reinvested back into the business.
If you set up your business in the form of a Company you could take profits partly by Salary and party by Dividend withdrawal. Your salary would be subject to the above levels of PAYE and NI however a good Accountant could advise you on the best level to withdraw a salary to minimise your tax liability. The balance of your required income could then be withdrawn from the Company as a dividend.
After expenses (including your salary payments) the Company profits are subject to Corporation Tax – the current rate for profits under £300,000 is 20% and 21% above £300,000. Once this tax has been deducted you are able to take a dividend from the remaining profits.
Dividends are taxed at 10% for Basic Rate Tax payers, 32.5% for Higher Rate Tax payers and 37.5% for the highest earners. However as the Company has already paid Corporation Tax on these profits all Dividends come with a 10% tax credit that can be offset against your personal tax liability. In short if you are only a Basic Rate tax payer the 10% tax credit offsets the tax due so you have no tax liability on the Dividend.
To summarise the total tax liability through a limited company could reach 45.17% for the highest earners (21% Corporation Tax & an effective 24.17% Dividend Tax after the 10% credit and Corporation Tax deduction). However if you are using the profits to reinvest into your business and grow for the future then the maximum tax would be 21%. This is less than half the tax you could be paying as a Sole Trader or Partnership!
A large advantage of setting up your business as a Private Company (Ltd) is if the worst happen and the company goes into financial distress you are only liable for the company debts up to the value of your investment in the company. Therefore if you hold £2,000 worth of company shares you may not receive this back if the company is liquidated or made insolvent – all of the company debts will be repaid prior to you receiving any of your investment. Your own private assets will however remain safe.
Trading as a Sole Trader or Partnership does not offer this same protection. If the business goes into financial distress then the creditors can 'chase' the owners private assets in settlement of any debts. If you are in a partnership and only receive a share of the profits you can still be held 100% responsible for the companies debts – this is known as Joint and Several Liability.
There is a special Partnership (a Limited Liability Partnership) that can however be used to limit the liability of some of the Partners within the agreement. There must, however still be at least one regular partner with no limit of liability.
Incorporating your business as a Limited Company involves registering with Companies House and providing Annual Returns and Submissions. There are fees involved with doing this not to mention the time taken for the paperwork and possible Accountants assistance. In addition if you are taking a salary from the company then you will have to run a payroll which also results in a number of HMRC reporting requirements.
When it comes to Sole Traders and Partnerships you only need to prepare and submit an Annual Self Assessment tax return. You may still have to run a payroll system if you employ staff but there is no requirement to run one for yourself or your partners.
Running a business as a Sole Trader you only have yourself to rely on for experience and knowledge, unless of course you pay a third party for the benefit of their knowledge. In addition you only have access to finance that you raise or borrow. If you want to add another person to the business (other than as an employee) you would need to look at either changing to a Partnership or a Limited Company.
Within a Partnership you have the experience and knowledge of all the partners. It is easy to add more partners or remove partners from the Partnership so the knowledge and experience resource can be changed. This also applies to access to finance – as more partners come into the Partnership they can inject more funds to the business and provide a broader guarantee which may mean access to loan funds is easier to obtain.
A Limited Company could give the greatest access to finance albeit some lenders may still require personal guarantees for loans despite the Limited Liability benefit. Additional funding can quickly be raised by offering shares in your company to friends and family. In return for an investment they would in effect own a percentage of your company and be entitled to a share of the dividends.
There are benefits and disadvantages to each possible business configuration and you must weigh up the impact on your own personal circumstances. Talking to an Accountant in the early days of planning your new business could provide you with valuable advice regards the best structure for your situation.
The rates and thresholds quoted in this article are correct at the time of writing.  Note rates and thresholds are changed on a regular basis.

Q: Android Image and Toolbar(EditText) inside CollapsingToolbarLayout Scrolling I want to implement the function shown below.

Before scrolling, there is an EditText at the bottom, a logo ImageView in the center, and a right Menu at the top.
During scrolling, the ImageView and the EditText disappear and the Menu remains.
After scrolling, the EditText is reduced to the appropriate size and the Menu is on the right.
However, in my current code, scrollFlag to scroll in CollapsingToolbarLayout does not clicked, nor does it shrink to the proper size.
Here is my Code.

        </android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>

    </android.support.design.widget.CollapsingToolbarLayout>

</android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>

<include layout="@layout/content_main"/>

How do I make it work as an attached image?

A: Old post. But still if people looking for answers, just add app:layout_collapseMode="parallax" in imageview.
<ImageView
                android:id="@+id/logoImage"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:scaleType="center"
                android:src="@drawable/app_logo_150x30"
                app:layout_collapseMode="parallax"
                android:layout_centerInParent="true"/>

Import the required settings. Hope it helps.

The final conference of the Creative Skills Europe project took place on 5 February 2019 in Göteborg (Sweden). It has opened the way to enhanced technical cooperation between the various national skills councils in the performing arts and audiovisual sectors, but also at the level of European social dialogue.
– creating mechanisms for better recognition of qualifications and skills at the European level.
On Wednesday 12 September 2018, the European Parliament adopted the proposed directive on copyright in the digital single market. It also gave mandate to the Committee on Legal Affairs (JURI) to enter into inter-institutional negotiations with the Commission and the Council (trialogue).
This result is a genuine success for performers, achieved after considerable efforts and against a globally hostile backdrop. In reality, the European Commission's initial proposal fell way short of our expectations, entirely leaving to one side, for example, the central issue of artists' remuneration where streaming was concerned.
On 8 and 9 September 2016, the final conference took place in Brussels of the joint FIM, FIA, UNI-MEI and EFJ project focusing on the future of work and atypical working in the arts, entertainment and media sector. It was held in the European Parliament and the premises of the European Economic and Social Committee.
Besides representatives from the four organising federations, the conference welcomed European and national parliamentarians, representatives of the European Commission, the International Labour Office (ILO) and the European Trade Unions Confederation (ETUC) as well as jurists specialized in social law.
Following on four thematic workshops, the conference was an opportunity for presentations and opinions of both legal and political nature from numerous speakers. The whole of the work carried out constitutes a solid documentary basis for future initiatives from FIM and its partners with regard to ETUC and ILO on the issue of non-standard forms of employment, a major concern for the trade union movement at global level.
Synthesis report in English (report presenting works of reflection and analysis carried out during the 18 months of the project. Translation is currently underway into French, Spanish and Italian).
Workplaces in the live performance sector are challenged by very diverse health and safety risks. These stem from a broad range of activities such as stage performances, chemical substances used in special effects, the presence of an audience and environmental aspects such as lighting and temperature.
Specific risk assessment strategies are vital to prevent accidents and ill-health in the sector. The OiRA tools are developed to support small enterprises in better dealing with these challenges.
The EU social partners from the Live Performance sector : the European Arts and Entertainment Alliance (EAEA, composed of FIM, FIA and UNI MEI) and Pearle* have released a video on their Online interactive Risk Assessment (OiRA) tools. The tools are made for assessing health and safety risks in venues and production companies, especially in small ones.

I had the privilege to preach this last Sunday on chapter five from the book of Revelation. In it Jesus Christ, the lamb of God, steps up as the only one worthy to open the scroll of God. I thought I'd share the cliff notes version of the sermon, as I didn't write too much on the book for last week.
One concern of mine in regards to this book is that we see it as just an extended forecast–something that shows us the future, but has no real bearing for how we live today. Revelation does show us what is to come, but I believe it also reveals a vision that breaks into our life in the here and now. Here is a summary of three takeaways for how we should live today.
Revelation pulls back the curtain to give us a glimpse of one so worthy, so glorious that he deserves our praise now and through eternity.
Revelation pulls back the curtain and shows us the truth that although this world appears to be in chaos, God has a plan, a plan that Christ accomplishes, and it is a plan for his victory, so let us persevere with hope.
Revelation pulls back the curtain and reminds us that the God who reigns has called us into that family business. We reign with Christ and live as a part of his kingdom, serving right now, as a royal priesthood in this world.

I came to the Breaking Bad party pretty late but after multiple seasons of people raving about it, I ended up binging through it all just before the last season premiered.
I also almost quit the show, as the beginning of the first season drags. But once I got to the end of Season One, everything just sort of clicked and I was hooked. But even then, I thought that it would be good but that it would slowly lose steam, as all shows do and eventually, I wouldn't care about it.
Breaking Bad did something that almost no other show has been capable of doing, though. It continued to improve and get better as it rolled on.
Just when you thought the show reached its peak, it'd throw a curveball or shock you in a way that television shows before this were never able to do. And most importantly, it either gave you satisfying resolutions to plot threads or it subverted expectations and actually gave you something better and surprising.
Frankly, I hate the "subvert their expectations" bullshit that creatives in Hollywood seem to be clinging onto because 99 percent of the time, it's just an indicator that they're out of ideas and their only solution is to take a big shit and go, "Ha! You fans didn't see that coming! I'm a genius! Adore me!"
No. Breaking Bad subverts expectations and gives the viewer something better. And it didn't just do this once or twice, it did it quite often and it was consistently really fucking good at it. More than anything, that's what made this show so great.
Additionally, very extreme things happen on the show but it never jumps the shark or takes you out of reality. Everything feels real and plausible and it does a superb job in staying grounded and not taking a turn for the ridiculous, as many shows have done that started out really strong.
I'd have to say that the best thing about this, though, is the cast. Everyone, top to bottom, is perfection.
Almost every character in the show starts at one end of the spectrum and finds a way to make it to the opposite side. All of this happens slowly and naturally. Characters you like become ones you despise and ones you might not have liked become lovable. There are secondary characters that stay the same throughout but many of them are there to be measuring sticks, to show you how every main character evolves in their own way over five seasons.
I know that there has been a ton of hype about this show for years but it is one of the few that lived up to it and actually, in my opinion, exceeded it. Breaking Bad is as close to a perfect show that you can get for a crime drama with neo-western and neo-noir flavors.
Rating: 10/10
Pairs well with: other modern crime dramas but this is the best of the lot.

"Now, you pick out what you want on that menu there. Then you yell it out into that box. Then in 2 minutes, you're scoffing it down, without even getting out of the car." – Mick Dundee, "So, you can eat like a pig… and nobody can see you. [winks] Clever buggers, these yanks." – Jacko
If I'm being honest, I wasn't looking forward to revisiting this film, even though I just revisited the two chapters before it and still found them to be entertaining and a great way to waste a few hours.
This one was bad when it came out and time hasn't done it any favors. In fact, it's made it worse.
The main issue with this picture is that it wasn't even written by Paul Hogan. Some other blokes took over that part of the creative process for some reason.
The second issue is that this waited way too long to come out. There is a thirteen year gap between its most recent predecessor and it hurts this movie a lot, as it feels like it's written like an early '90s comedy and not something that was made at the turn of the millennium. Honestly, it kind of shows that the style of film that the first two Crocodile Dundees were, were products of their time that worked well back then but not in 2001.
The story is a mess and it takes the weakest part of the first film, which was just being a series of "fish out of water" segments and embraces them more than any of the other installments. It just doesn't work and most of the bits and gags fall flat in spite of Paul Hogan still having a hell of a lot of charm. But that charm just can't save a poorly written, unfunny turd.
In fact, the only comedic bits I found amusing were the ones with his buddy, Jacko. They had good chemistry and they were funny together but these scenes were kind of scant and didn't do anything to propel the story forward.
The criminal plot in this movie is also pretty dumb. It has to do with a Hollywood producer that shoots movies in Europe and Hollywood, using the travel between the two locations as a way to smuggle valuable paintings out of Europe. It's damn asinine.
Anyway, you can watch the first two movies and still get a lot of enjoyment out of them. This one, not so much.
Well, except for that bonkers Mike Tyson cameo; I can watch that anytime.
Pairs well with: the other Crocodile Dundee films but they're both a lot better than this one.

Justified was one of those shows that everyone told me to watch. I really loved Deadwood and was pissed that it ended when it did, only after three seasons and on a cliffhanger. Timothy Olyphant was fantastic in that show. When Justified came around, it seemed like the modern spiritual successor to the near perfect Deadwood. And many people went on to confirm that to me, before I even saw it.
Then I saw it.
I don't know what it is about majority opinion and my own opinion but when it comes to television shows, they don't seem to match up. The thing is, I hate this show. "Awful" isn't a strong enough word to describe it.
Maybe there is just something about FX that is horrible because every single FX show I have ever watched, except for Always Sunny, has completely underwhelmed me and left me befuddled as to how so many people are in love with FX's product. The network is perceived by many to be on par with the greats like HBO, Showtime and AMC. Justified is just one of a string of many shows that feels just as safe and generic as the episodic crime drama bullshit found on the big networks: CBS, ABC, NBC and Fox.
I also don't know who the music director is at FX but Justified easily has the worst theme song in television history. It is eye rolling, stomach churning and just a horrendous attempt at trying to force together hip-hop and bluegrass. But FX shows have a history of having really shitty theme songs, except for Always Sunny. The Justified theme, actually makes the terrible Sons of Anarchy theme, sound like a masterpiece.
The worst part, is that I like Olyphant and even more than him, I love Walton Goggins. This show has great talent on the screen but the final product is still crap. Sure, the acting is better than average but the plot, the characters and everything else is so drab and cookie cutter.
I only made it about halfway through the third season before giving up. I rarely give up on a show. But nothing really grabbed me by that point and the consensus from the fans of the show is that the first three seasons are the best and then it falls off after that. Well, it was never really on for me to begin with so I certainly don't want to invest another twenty-plus hours in it "falling off".
I wish there were more westerns and even neo-westerns on TV. I just wish more were like Deadwood, Hell On Wheels and Longmire (once it went to Netflix) and less like this basic bag of bullshit.
And ultimately, it's just made me go back and start re-watching the far superior Deadwood once again.
Pairs well with: Sons of Anarchy, Breaking Bad, Fear the Walking Dead and Deadwood.

Michael Phelps and fiancée welcome first child
May 7, 2016 | 9:15pm
Michael Phelps holds his son Boomer Robert Phelps as fiancée Nicole Johnson looks on.BooneStudios.com
Michael Phelps is a first-time father.
The 18-time Olympic gold medalist and fiancée Nicole Johnson welcomed Boomer Robert Phelps on Thursday night in Arizona, where Phelps has been training in preparation for the Rio Olympics.
"Healthy and happy!!! Best feeling I have ever felt in my life!!!" Phelps posted on Instagram on Saturday in announcing his son's name and arrival date and time. A black-and-white photo showed a shirtless Phelps cradling his son and planting a kiss on his head while Johnson looked on from her hospital bed.
Phelps' longtime coach, Bob Bowman, confirmed that the baby's middle name is in his honor, calling it "a big surprise" in a text to The Associated Press.
Phelps had been training at high altitude in Colorado and left the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs to return to Johnson's side.
Last month at a meet in Mesa, Arizona, Phelps said the couple had already selected the baby's name, although he didn't reveal it then.
"It's something we both agreed on, thought it was different," he said.
Asked what type of parent he would be, Phelps said, "I'll probably be very protective. That's how I am."
Phelps credited Johnson for being "nothing but one of the best supporters I could ask for."
At the Mesa meet, Phelps talked with Dana Vollmer, who is attempting to make another Olympic team after giving birth to her son 13 months ago.
"It will be good for him, like it is for me," she said. "Michael and Nicole will be good parents."
