Let's pair the Doctor's regeneration stories as one long story rather a pre- and post- regeneration story. Sometimes you have two strong stories together, sometimes a good one paired with a mediocre or poor one. Do two mediocre stories possibly blend together faultlessly making one long, strong story which may be better than one stronger story supporting a weaker one which may seem patchy overall? You decide!
For the purposes of this thread, Twice Upon A Time is currently incomplete until the 13th Doctor makes her appearance on tv and so isn't included here. And I've taken a bit of a liberty with the War Doctor because there really isn't any immediate post regeneration story for him so I've just opted for the only screen appearances we have.
It's been a while since we did this so just a reminder that the usual rules apply...one vote per person per day, vote a story up or down for two weeks then negative voting only will begin on Sunday 20th May.

The Foo Fighters brought out Axl Rose, Slash and Duff McKagan for a monumental performance during their recent set in Florence, Italy. The musicians performed Guns N' Roses' "It's So Easy" to an incredibly energetic crowd. As you can see in the fan-filmed video below, those in attendance erupted in screams as soon as the GNR members took the stage. The surprise makes sense schedule-wise due to both bands being in Italy for this week's Firenze Rocks music festival. Check out the clips below and be sure to leave us a comment with your thoughts.
"It's So Easy" is taken from Guns N' Roses' debut album, Appetite for Destruction, which came out in 1987. The band recently released a music video for the track featuring footage from a 1989 at the Cathouse in Hollywood. They also covered Velvet Revolver's "Slither" for the first time during a recent live performance. Their highly anticipated re-issuing of Appetite for Destruction is set to arrive June 29. The band have a boxset for sale, which costs $999 and features 49 previously unreleased tracks, a 96-page book and much more. Pre-orders for the re-release are on sale now, with fans being able to choose from a variety of different options.


Lecrae and Tori Kelly's smash hit "I'll Find You" was the only Christian hip-hop song to receive Billboard Music Award nomination in any category, so we decided to honor it with the Cover of the Week here on NGEN.
This week's cover is a different take on the hit - in fact, JF actually raps a different second verse than the one Lecrae does in the original.
Here's hoping you love this cover as much as we do.

This was a glorious evening, spent in a little-visited part of Zion National Park, Kolob Canyons. I was up at about 7,000 feet, with snow on the ground, a brisk wind in the air and a temperature of 39°F. That said, I was prepared for both the elements and a gorgeous sunset. I wasn't disappointed.


A new dating app known as 'the dating game' has appointed Danielle Poleski as their Head of Digital.
JigTalk, which was founded in early 2016 in Leeds, received investment from Apadmi Ventures and completed an acceleration programme with NASDAQ in San Francisco last year.
The company has recently soft launched in Manchester as it prepares for a national launch.
Danielle, who joined the team as a Digital Marketing Executive after relocating to Manchester from Ottawa in Canada, will be coordinating JigTalk's national launch.
"It took a number of emails, an enthusiastic application, tweets and a final slide into JigTalk's LinkedIn DM's to get these guys to meet me for a coffee six months ago," said Poleski.
Whilst in Ottawa, Danielle worked in Digital Marketing with Klipfolio, one of Canada's fastest growing startups.
The company says that it has adopted a data-heavy approach to marketing which Poleski will be driving forwards.
JigTalk will also be growing the marketing team after linking up with the Juice Academy in Manchester to hire a social media apprentice.
Alex Durrant, CEO of JigTalk, added: "Danielle is a perfect fit for the team in mind, body and soul.

Ryszard Bugajski's Clearcut, All the Haunts Be Ours, and the story of an unlikely commentary/ interview
A note about screengrabs from Clearcut - these are not taken from the Severin box set, but from a DVDr of the Vision Maker Media screening transfer that I mention below. They are sourced from the same print as the Severin - director Ryszard Bugajski's own - but they are lower-res, and no doubt only a glimmer of how good the film looks from the brand-new Severin 4K scan.
So the Severin Folk Horror box set , All the Haunts Be Ours, is now purchasable online. I have only seen a few of the films on it, including Kier-la Janisse's essential documentary history of folk horror, Woodlands Dark and Days Bewitched, which I interviewed the filmmaker about here, but her documentary has me excited to see many of the other films on the set, which casts a broad net in defining films as "folk horror," not just focusing on the obvious British manifestations (The Wicker Man and The Blood on Satan's Claw and the like - those films are not part of the box, though they do loom large in the doc) but taking an international sweep - including, most importantly to me, the Canadian-made film Clearcut, in which Graham Greene gives a chilling, career-best performance as either a pissed-off, violent fella named Arthur, or else a trickster manifestation, who abducts a mill owner (Michael Horgan as Bud Rickets) and a liberal lawyer (Ron Lea) who is involved in their losing land claims case.
Arthur takes his two hostages into the forests of Ontario for a Canadian "outdoor ordeal" par excellence. As a thriller, with ruggedly physical performances, considerable suspense, and amazing locations, Clearcut would play (in some respects) just fine on a double bill with other Canuxploitation classics like Rituals - my other favourite Canadian film, incidentally. As the ordeal progresses - and they arrive at a sacred site decorated with ancient rock art - the film takes on the flavour of an "involuntary vision quest," by which Arthur's trickster is striving to teach the unteachable Rickets about the value of nature, and maybe actually reaching through to the lawyer when it comes to the need to take ACTION, even direct action, rather than just submitting briefs and playing by the rules and making ineffectual oaths about injustice when the system predictably fails to correct itself. The lesson is proven to have worked when the lawyer actually attacks Arthur, his tutor - though the ending is still not entirely what you might expect...
Now, the filmmaker at hand, Ryszard Bugajski, was a serious man, a serious filmmaker - a man who, before leaving his home country to come to Canada, had made a very challenging film about the injustices and tortures perpetrated by the Communists in Poland, The Interrogation, which got suppressed for years, and won him the honour of being told he would never work in Polish film again (unless maybe he informed on his colleagues). You can hear Bugajski tell all of these stories on the Clearcut commentary, which is edited together out of an interview I did with him maybe five years before he died, which really took in his whole career - even though it was Clearcut I was most interested in; still, you have to tell a story like this; how does a Polish political filmmaker end up making one of the most challenging and confrontational political thrillers ever made in Canada? How is it that my favourite film about Canada's relations with its First Peoples is made by someone from Europe? (Granted, there's a fine book that the film is based on, MT Kelly's A Dream Like Mine, which I've read and recommend - but there's a lot that the film changes from the book, which is also something Bugajski and I talk about on the commentary)...
The Interrogation can be found for free online; it's a key film to watch if you have illusions about life under Soviet-style Communism - or just if you want a sense of the film practice Bugajski was coming from, before he made Clearcut. The Interrogation is typical of the serious, compelling political dramas Bugajski made, even has direct similarities between three of his later films (General Nil, The Closed Circuit, and Blindness, all also telling true stories from Polish history about characters who are unjustly tortured by the state). And it has its own interesting and unusual release history, too (as we discuss on the commentary, the director himself helped make bootlegs of The Interrogation available underground, so that people could see the film after the authorities gave it a big thumbs-down!).
But all told, Ryszard Bugajski's background was very different from yours or mine. What your average English-speaking/ North American movie fan might see in a film like Clearcut - what parallels we might notice between the story arc and that of horror movies or thrillers we have seen - well, those resonances might be there for us, and they might even help us view the film in different or interesting ways (some rich, some perhaps perversely irrelevant), but to the extent that they are there, they're functioning on an archetypal level, as a feature of some sort of universal subconscious, as a universal feature of storytelling, maybe. They sure aren't there because Ryszard Bugajski SAW the films you might be reminded of; I know, because I asked him.
For instance, it is difficult for a film viewer who grew up watching horror in the 1980s to not read aspects of Clearcut in light of films like the old Eric Red classic The Hitcher, where it turns out the point of the ordeal imposed by the abductor is to strengthen the victim to take up arms against him; the killer is training a non-killer to kill, enacting a kind of death wish against himself, creating his own chosen assassin. That's exactly what happens at the end of The Hitcher, and not that far off what happens at the climax of Clearcut; after his being a punching bag through most of the film, the lawyer character (Ron Lea) finally has enough and tries to kill Arthur, which Arthur seems to genuinely respect - all quite like how Rutger Hauer approves at the end of The Hitcher of C. Thomas Howell's attempts to kill him. It turns out that the director had not seen The Hitcher, at all, however. Even though Bugajski, as a filmmaker under Communist authorities, had access to films that the average Polish movie-viewer would not be able to see, something like The Hitcher was not the sort of film that the authorities in Poland would have deemed important enough to allow them to screen. (Re: The Interrogation, I also asked Bugajski if he was aware of, had been able to see any of, the Corman-produced Women in Prison-type films that someone steeped in sleazier fare might see resonances with, but ditto, there - though I have seen The Interrogation pop up on lists with films like The Big Bird Cage or such, located within the WIP subgenre, But Bugajski didn't know the subgenre, had no intention of participating in it, and never even saw films like that prior to leaving Poland. He'd heard Corman's name, he explains - that was about all. Raises interesting questions, really: should a film be located within a subgenre by fan categorizations when the filmmaker was completely unaware of those films? ...or should we try to look at the film as outside that category, & consider it a mistake to class it with films the filmmaker had never seen...?
I'm not going to give anything more away about the contents of the commentary - there ARE American films and filmmakers that made a mark on Bugajski, but I'll leave that for people to hear about in the commentary itself; they came as very pleasant discoveries to me and there's no reason to deprive you of that pleasure. Let me instead give you a tiny bit of a history of my involvement with the filmmaker, and how the commentary came to be.
I first saw Clearcut in 1991, when it came out on VHS during my tenure as a video store geek at Rogers Video in Maple Ridge. In fact, I still have the VHS tape I bought at the store where I worked. It seemed something special to me even in 1991, though (as I say in the commentary) I knew people who felt very much otherwise about it. There's a kind of remarkable figure in my past, who came into my life in the 1990's and made me question a lot of my values, a kind of "spiritual teacher" if you will, himself of a First Nations background, who was of the opinion that the film was "irresponsible," because it wasn't the kind of film that would win friends for First Nations activists, since it made them seem dangerous and scary and so forth, rather than spiritual and sympathetic and easy to embrace.
I mean, sure, Arthur is not a great PR spokesperson - not one who is likely to win friends and influence people on the campaign trail, as he goes around biting the head off a snake, "debarking" the film's mill owner with his giant knife, and just being pretty sharp-edged and nasty in some of what he says (including the infamous "I'm going to cut my finger off and make a necklace for your fat fuckin' wife" chant he goes into during the climactic, "wrong" sweatlodge at the end of the film). He does have a fair bit in common - relentless, unstoppable, possibly omniscient - with the monster in monster movies, the slasher in slasher movies, and however naive Ryszard may have been about those kinds of films, you do have to sort of note that the film resonates on some level with them.
But the objection still misunderstands that throughout Clearcut, mean as he might be, Arthur is the one who holds the moral high ground, and the viewer realizes that. We the viewers may be more similar to the liberal lawyer - I certainly am - but that doesn't mean we think he's in the right or don't want him to learn from his ordeal. He's a man of talk - "the man who talks for us," as a young girl named Polly calls him in the film; but who, it is implied, does precious little else. We may not sign up to man the barricades at a future mining site because of the positive impression Arthur makes, but we won't go off patting ourselves on the back about how our right white liberal sympathies actually make a bit of difference. Something more than hand-wringing and cursing the injustices is required...
That objection, then - that the film is irresponsible, will lose sympathy for the cause, etc - also misunderstands that the film isn't really saying anything about Native activism at all. It's discussing the failures of Canadian liberals (you can capitalize that if you like) to actually make way for any meaningful progress for First Nations people, even though we've known about the problems in Canada for years (and yes, there is discussion of residential schools and missing children between myself and Mr. Bugajski, late in the commentary; it chilled me to revisit it on the tape, since the topic was nowhere as timely when the conversation took place). We have been the perpetrators of genocide. We have not come to terms with it as a nation. And we are more than happy, usually, to say right-sounding things, in the absence of taking adequate action to ensure that these injustices do not keep continuing - to do what Peter Maguire does: to talk. (Consider the case of our prime minister...).
Anyhow, loving this film, loving how righteously pissed off it is, loving (maybe) the punishment it doles out to, uh, well-meaning liberal do-nothings like myself, I have done, over the years, everything I knew how to do to keep the film from disappearing from public view. Adrian Mack interviewed me about a screening I hosted at the Vancity Theatre back in 2015, when the film was only available as a German DVD with forced subtitles, too much contrast, and darks that were too dark. I think only a couple dozen people made that screening - but it didn't matter; arranging it was less about who came to see it that night and more about just asserting into the world that the film still existed. At the time, I blogged about it, posted an interview snippet, and even - as a direct result of the Mack story, I think - helped connect a company called Vision Maker Media in the US with Ryszard Bugajski, the filmmaker, to get a better scan made, for a screening they were hosting. The scan was based on his own personal 35mm print (which would also be the source of the Severin scan), and used for at least one screening in the States, and was a vast improvement on the German DVD (I am presuming the Severin 4K blu-ray scan is even better yet, but haven't seen it; like I say, my screengrabs are from the Vision Maker version). The film had long been unavailable in anything like a decent format on DVD or such in North America, and when you could find it on the grey-to-black market (or on torrent sites), it was presented in terrible-looking pan-and-scan based on the old VHS tape. Over the years, I bought three different "bootleg" releases to see if they looked any good or had anything special going for them. They didn't. There was (and still is, as I write) a shitty-looking VHS transfer on Youtube, but it really does not do justice to how GOOD this film can look, how spectacular its compositions can be; it's a lousy way to watch the film. The film needed to come back to the world, so people could see it, in a proper restoration; for my money, it's one of the most confrontational, biting, politically fearless films about First Nations in Canada, and it hasn't gotten less relevant since it was made circa 1991... but it's also a real source of visual pleasure, a really fine film to settle in and WATCH...
So how did I end up interviewing Ryszard Bugajski? It happened in 2013, when I was covering VIFF for local papers (and this blog), and I noticed that Ryszard Bugajski had a film in it (The Closed Circuit). All this was a couple years before that public screening that I hosted, note. Given the opportunity to speak to him, I seized the opportunity, even though it wasn't exactly clear who it would be for or when it would come out into the world; lucky for me, he was just fine talking to someone with a passionate interest in his films, took it on trust that I would do SOMETHING with the material. We spoke over a few occasions in 2013-14, some of which saw him talking to me from a car phone between public appearances in the US, and some of which took place with Bugajski at home in Poland - he had eventually repatriated and resumed movie-making there - with me on my Mom's landline in Maple Ridge, feeding the call into a cassette recorder. The idea initially was to do a career retrospective for a film magazine, and to time it with the release of Clearcut then being discussed by a UK label (at that time, Second Run DVD, who had put it out The Interrogation, had expressed interest).
It was challenging from the start, trying to figure out where the article should be published. The one film magazine I *had* written for at some length, CineAction, would have been a perfect home for the piece - an academic film journal dealing with the politics of film, published out of Canada, and having a historical association with my favourite-ever film critic, Robin Wood. Alas, they had folded (they're back online now, I gather, but all of this took place while they were calling it quits). The other magazine I found who was interested in the article had no desire/ budget to pay me a red cent for it, to my dismay. It was going to be a lot of work to transcribe, and it just annoyed me that a glossy American film mag you could buy at Chapters would pull the "sorry, we don't pay" thing on a prospective contributor - one who was offering (what seemed to me, anyhow) a major piece of writing, certainly a labour-intensive one. Another complication: Second Run never did put out Clearcut, for reasons I remain unclear on; it's possible they just weren't happy with the quality of the German transfer previously mentioned, and didn't have the wherewithal to create a new scan. I wrote them a couple of times to try to figure out what was happening, but it was always... just... stalled. Which meant that even if I found a magazine that WOULD pay for the work of transcribing and shaping the piece - even a pittance, just to make a gesture at being fair - there would be no way for people who read the article to see the film in a decent quality North American release; nor were General Nil and The Closed Circuit available here, either, for that matter. I did write a few DVD labels, including very high profile ones like Criterion, to let them know about the film, to request its release - but no one seemed to care much. Without a way for people to follow up reading about the film by actually seeing it, the timing all just felt wrong... so I stalled, hosted that 2015 screening, and waited for a moment that seemed right to put the interview into the world, with the tapes of my talks with Ryszard always close at hand...
...And then he died. I had no idea he'd even been sick. With his untimely passing, it seemed further away than ever that his film would be restored and made widely available... I pestered the VIFF, the TIFF, pestered Jesse Wente (who had a hand in making the film the centerpiece of a tribute to Graham Greene that had taken place in Toronto)... I begged friends who I thought might know more than I do: if we're going to keep this film from being forgotten, WHAT DO WE DO?
Finally I decided two things: to involve the Cinematheque in hosting a public screening - which we set up as a free event for Canadian film day, April 22nd, 2020 - and to just skip the movie mags and put the interview online here, on my own damn blog, so anyone empowered with Google could find it. I dug out my tapes and started transcribing again... as news of a strange new virus began to spread. The Cinematheque screening was all planned out; we acquired a copy of the Vision Maker scan as the basis for projection, had a page all printed in their program, and then it all got unceremoniously cancelled, as the Cinematheque went dark that spring due to COVID. By the time it was shut down, it came as no surprise whatsoever... we've been in discussions to make it happen again, using Severin's even higher-quality scan, but with omicron causing havoc, who knows when exactly that will take place!
I was feeling pretty bummed after that cancellation, when a few months later, to my total surprise, I got an email out of the blue from Severin's Kier-la Janisse, telling me that Clearcut was being included on their folk horror box set, and asking her to help track down a 2015 video introduction that Ryszard had done for his film, I believe for that Vision Maker screening (she thought it had been done for my screening, the one Mack had written about in 2015 at the VIFF Centre - but it hadn't). She knew me from a few things in Vancouver - I had attended a few festivals she'd curated, and had hooked her up to host the Border Radio Q&A with Chris Desjardins a few years ago in Vancouver, when the Flesh Eaters were in town. She also knows Mack, and had presumably read my 2015 interview with him. But we are in no way close, and she didn't know the half of what I had on Clearcut, and I didn't know that that introductory clip (since found) existed. Instead, what I told Kier-la at the time was that "what I do have is a 90% unpublished interview with Ryszard Bugajski, which I would be very happy to edit into a commentary track for the blu-ray."
She was game. Despite it all being last minute, slightly panicked on my part, and requiring way more back-and-forth between us than she'd envisioned, I delivered before my due date. It took about three or four days of committed work, at this very computer, for the most part, to get it done, with the help of my vastly more computer-savvy friend Dan Kibke, who helped me transfer the 4 hour interview from cassette into a digital file with a (roughly) hour and a half-long commentary. There was lots we had to cut, of course, but most of that dealt with General Nil and The Closed Circuit. It was actually super fun to do, watching Dan manipulate software that stupified me, and getting to hang out with him; we haven't spent a lot of quality time together in the last few years, and having a project to work on together was really good for our friendship. Plus the end result was a really cool, lucid commentary about Ryszard's history up to and including his coming to Canada, with a fairly in-depth interview about the making of the film ("How did you do the dying moose?" "Did Graham really bite the head off a snake?" "Was there any direct or indirect influence on the shoot from the Oka crisis?"), with some brief discussion of his return to filmmaking in Poland, ending, in fact, on his final film, Blindness, which he had yet to begin making when we talked about it (but which played Vancouver at the Polish Film Festival, about a year or so before Ryszard died; that's how I met Shane Harvey, in fact). And through it all, as Dan and I shaped the piece into its final form, I had fireworks going off in my head: I MADE THE RIGHT CALL! PEOPLE CAN NOW HEAR RYSZARD TALK ABOUT THE FILM HIMSELF! I HAVE MADE GOOD USE OF MY INTERVIEW AND DONE RIGHT BY THIS FILM! ("...and I didn't have to transcribe four hours of tape!"). You don't have to buy some stuffy film mag - you don't even have to be able to read; you can just switch on the commentary track on the Severin disc (one of two commentaries on the disc, note; there are LOTS of cool extras, as fits Severin's MO) and listen to a more-or-less seamless conversation between Ryszard and myself.
Now, at present, as I write this, Severin's website - recently rebuilt - does NOT mention this extra, but a friend who bought the set confirms that my commentary with Ryszard IS on there; I'm told the omission is just an error from the rebuild of their website after Black Friday. Also unmentioned is an audio interview with Graham Greene that I helped set up - a thing which briefly saw me standing in a Tim Horton's parking lot in Duncan, texting some suggested questions for Kier-la to ask Graham, because once we got his contact info, we were told to act fast. I haven't experienced THAT extra myself, and am very keen to hear it - some of those, presumably, are my questions Graham is answering ("Ryszard was unsure about why whether people were more respectful to the production when Floyd Red Crow Westerman showed up - was it because he was an elder, or because he was a celebrity, or...?"). There's also something that I did with soundtrack composer Shane Harvey, who was instrumental in setting up the interview with Graham and who had some really interesting stories about Clearcut and working with Ryszard -
- one snippet of which I held back for just this sort of blogpiece. Shane and I had wrapped the Zoom interview, and then he thought of another story; it was easiest for me to just record the audio, quickly, than to figure out how to re-start a Zoom recording. "Did he tell you about going to a Native reserve to get gas at one point in his career?" Shane asked. Lord no, I laughed, and settled in for a story.
"It was like, Idaho or something; I can't specifically name the places he went," Shane began. "I guess he felt a bit guilty at the time that he was a Polish director, even with his great success with The Interrogation, that he was able to direct a film about Canadian Natives; like, how can a Polish guy know what's going on with Canadian Natives? And he went to a gas station in mid-west America, that was on a reserve, and he was paying for his gas. He got talking to the people in the little store, and this was back in the day when people had a few movies stacked up in the back corner of the store. And there was a Clearcut there! He said. 'I directed that film; see that film that is on your shelf?' And apparently the Native gas station attendant said it was the most used, rented-out video of all time in the store. 'It's never available - it's always rented!'"
Shane and also talked about Polly, the young girl in the film, who smokes the film's first cigarette (befitting its sacred use as visible breath) and who pops up throughout the film, toting the lawyer's briefcase. "She's in some way a continuation of him [Arthur, I think Shane means], and that's why when Peter Maguire says, when he's been arrested, and they're like, 'What happened to that Indian guy?' 'He's dead, but he can come back.' And I think it's coming back every day in our lives."
All of this equals real cause for 2022 to be the best year of my film geek life. Clearcut is finally back among us, looking better than it has looked since the 1991 film release. By dint of having stalled on publishing a print version of my interview, anyone who wants to learn about Ryszard's career or his ideas in making Clearcut will be able to ACTUALLY HEAR him talk about the movie himself - a man who is no longer around to be interviewed, speaking anew in nicely cleaned-up audio (thanks, Dan!). My conscience is now clear, my strategy, such as I had one, is vindicated - I don't feel guilty about the four straggling tapes anymore. About the only thing that I feel could have been better is that I had no great quotes in the formal interview section of the tapes to elaborate that Graham Greene, who had initially not been very friendly to the film, had actually come round to pick it as THE film for a retrospective of his work (involving Jesse Wente; see the Kier-la interview linked above for more on that). That is in there, but not as clearly explained as it might have been.
Mr. Greene, if you read this article and/or listen to the commentary, you might be distressed to learn that for some time there, Ryszard thought you kind of hated Clearcut. Rest assured, as a result of the conversation between us, he was very happy to discover you'd changed your tune and came to really appreciate the film. He did learn of the Toronto screening where you picked it as the representative film of your many works. (It's certainly my favourite of your films, I must add, though I enjoyed you plenty in Thunderheart and Dances with Wolves and pretty much anywhere else I've seen you...).There just wasn't a way to shape what we had into the commentary, given the time limits Dan and I faced, the fact that Ryszard was no longer around to provide new quotes, and that some of our discussion about these aspects was part of sort of chit-chat outside the interview per se. (Did Kier-la ask you about that whole "I see a naked man" thing, I wonder? I'd love to know what was goin' on there...).
Of course, as I say at the outset of the commentary, there are some less than circumspect phrases that turn up, with Ryszard frequently defaulting, for example, to the term "Indian." He knew just as well as I that that term is passe and not really part of accepted discourse when it comes to Indigenous people; we even talk in the commentary about how he discovered this. But habits are hard to break, and AT NO POINT had we envisioned the conversation appearing as a commentary, when we initially did it; when you're writing for a magazine, you have a bit more freedom to tidy up things like that.
It's a pretty interesting commentary no less, if I do say so myself. Very proud of it. Also, fans of Willie Dunn, Kevin James Howes and the Native North America series should note that Dunn's film "The Ballad of Crowfoot" is also an extra on the Clearcut disc (disc #9 of the set), with an interview/ commentary with Kevin himself... I mean, Severin are some kind of amazing when it comes to their extras, eh? There's lots more I'm not mentioning, because I've yet to experience it myself...
The All the Haunts Be Ours folk horror box is now available through Severin Films. No stand-alone disc version of Clearcut has yet to be announced, so just go ahead and buy the whole damn box; if the other films are anywhere near as good, it's going to be the purchase of the decade. Also note that Severin is now the copyright holder on the film Clearcut, by arrangement with Mr. Bugajski's estate, so contact them if you are looking to set up public screenings. Note that there may be one this spring/ summer at the Cinematheque, but COVID is a factor again, so... who knows what will happen!
Thanks again to Kier-la, Dan, Shane, and to the estate of Ryszard Bugajski.

Despre crimă, criminali și pedeapsa lor (un gând de-al meu)
Așa e: in legatură cu alahistul uzbek care a condus camionul in oamenii nevinovați din banda de bicicletă în New York City:
Ca și cu puștile : nu omul omoară cu pușca, ci pușca omoară omul fără pușcă…ori cu pușcă!
Soluție: hai să interzicem mașinile, că sânt ucigașe! De aceea ar trebui sa ne întoarcem la…pesteră, unde se trăiește bine, ca acum câteva zeci de mii de ani. Atunci ne putem lasă barba să crească în mod natural, functionând precum cămară pentru resturile de mâncare, incluzând paduchii care servesc ca un delicios supliment de proteine! Nu, nu s-a inventat incă focul ca nu erau bombe şi nici bombardatori sinucigași! 🙂

Trump's Twitter account 'inadvertently disactivated'
President Donald Trump's @realdonaldtrump Twitter account was "inadvertently deactivated" due to human error by a Twitter Inc employee on Thursday and was down for 11 minutes before it was restored, the social media company said.
http://www.france24.com/en/20171103-trump-twitter-account-inadvertently-disactivated
"Earlier today @realdonaldtrump's account was inadvertently deactivated due to human error by a Twitter employee," the company said in a tweet.
"We are continuing to investigate and are taking steps to prevent this from happening again," it added.
A Twitter representative declined to comment furthe
Trump has made extensive use of messages on Twitter to attack his opponents and promote his policies both during the 2016 presidential campaign and since taking office in January.
He has 41.7 million followers on Twitter.
"Great Tax Cut rollout today. The lobbyists are storming Capital Hill, but the Republicans will hold strong and do what is right for America!" he wrote in his first tweet after Thursday's outage.
In a similar incident last November, Twitter Chief Executive Officer Jack Dorsey's account was briefly suspended as a result of what he said was an internal mistake.
(REUTERS) House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

France 24 : EU arrest warrant sought for sacked Catalan leader Puigdemont as ministers jailed
EU arrest warrant sought for sacked Catalan leader Puigdemont as ministers jailed
Spain's state prosecutor sought a European arrest warrant for former Catalan president Carles Puigdemont, now in Belgium, after he failed to appear at a High Court hearing on Thursday. A Spanish judge jailed eight former Catalan cabinet ministers.
http://www.france24.com/en/20171102-spain-prosecutor-seeks-eu-arrest-warrant-sacked-catalonia-leader-puigdemont
Other leaders of the independence drive, that has brought thousands onto the streets of Barcelona demonstrating both for and against a break with Madrid, did appear before a Spanish court and faced prosecution demands they be held in custody.
A Spanish judge ordered eight members of the deposed Catalan government detained pending further probes into their role in the region's tumultuous quest for independence, a Madrid court said. Another former regional minister, who resigned just before the Catalan parliament declared independence on Friday, was also remanded in custody but will be set free if he pays a bond of 50,000 euros.
Puigdemont's lawyer in Belgium, where he has travelled with four members of his sacked cabinet, said his client would stay away from Spain while the political climate was "not good"; but he would cooperate with the courts.
"If they ask, he will cooperate with Spanish and Belgian justice," lawyer Paul Bekaert told Reuters.
Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy sacked Puigdemont and his government on Friday, hours after the Catalan parliament made a unilateral declaration of independence – a vote boycotted by the opposition and declared illegal by Spanish courts.
Puigdemont ignored an order to appear before the High Court on Thursday to answer charges of rebellion, sedition and misuse of public funds relating to the region's secessionist push.
The state prosecutor responded by asking the court to issue a European arrest warrant. The judge is due to rule on this request later on Thursday though she is widely expected to follow the prosecutor's recommendations.
"When someone doesn't appear after being cited by a judge to testify, in Spain or any other EU country, normally an arrest warrant is issued," said Supreme Court President Carlos Lesmes who is also the head of the General Council of the Judiciary, Spain's top judicial body.
An arrest warrant would make it virtually impossible for Puigdemont to stand in a snap election in the wealthy region called by the Spanish government for December 21.
Puigdemont said on Tuesday he would go back to Spain only if given unspecified guarantees by the Spanish government, puzzling many Catalans who now think he has acted precipitously.
"President, enough is enough," said the influential Catalan newspaper el Peridico on its front page on Wednesday.
Ebelio Ramos, a pensioner from the pro-independence town of Berga, said he was bemused by Puigdemont's flight.
"I don't know what they're thinking about but when someone does what he did and declares independence and then flees… A president has to fulfil the law and if he doesn't, it is better that he stays calm, because if he starts doing something outside the law, he is going to lose everything," Ramos said.
Following a tumultuous month, attention is gradually turning to the December vote. Protests taking place in central Barcelona on Thursday to support secessionist leaders as they testified in Madrid failed to attract a big crowd.
Cracks have appeared within the pro-independence coalition of centre-right and far-left parties as well as inside Puigdemont's own PdeCat (Democratic Catalan Party) where some of his allies are now pushing for a negotiated solution with the central government.
The struggle has also divided Catalonia itself and caused deep resentment across the rest of Spain, although separatist sentiment persists in the Basque Country and some other areas.
In Madrid, 20 secessionist leaders had been summoned by two separate courts to testify over their role in holding an illegal vote on referendum on October 1 and later proclaiming independence from Spain, but only 15 turned up. Puigdemont and four members of his sacked cabinet failed to appear.
All the remaining members of the dismissed Catalan cabinet but one declined to answer questions from the state prosecutor and the High Court judge who will likely open an investigation that could take several years and potentially lead to a trial.
Five senior regional lawmakers and the speaker of the Catalan parliament, Carme Forcadell, were also summoned by the Supreme Court, which handles the cases of people who enjoy parliamentary immunity.
The Supreme Court agreed on Thursday to give one more week to Forcadell and the Catalan lawmakers to prepare their defence and a new hearing will take place on November 9.
The courts have already told the Catalan secessionist leaders to deposit 6.2 million euros ($7.2 million) by Friday to cover potential liabilities.
Two recent opinion polls showed support for independence may have started to wane.
But an official regional survey published on Tuesday showed some 48.7 percent of Catalans believe the region should be independent, up from 41.1 pct in June and the highest since December 2014.

France 24 : CIA releases 470,000 more files from Bin Laden raid
CIA releases 470,000 more files from Bin Laden raid
Never-before-seen video of Osama bin Laden's son and potential successor was released Wednesday by the CIA in a trove of material recovered during the May 2011 raid that killed the al-Qaida leader at his compound in Pakistan.
http://www.france24.com/en/20171102-cia-releases-470000-more-files-bin-laden-raid
The video offers the first public look at Hamza bin Laden as an adult. Until now, the public has only seen childhood pictures of him.
In recent years, al-Qaida has released audio messages from Hamza bin Laden. And to mark a recent anniversary of 9/11, al-Qaida superimposed a childhood photo of him over a photo of the World Trade Center. He is expected to rise to prominence in the jihadist movement and is being closely watched as the rivalIslamic State organisation suffers setbacks in the Middle East.
One hourlong video shows Hamza bin Laden, sporting a trimmed mustache but no beard, at his wedding. He is sitting on a carpet with other men. A man chanting Quranic verses can be heard in the background. Sporting a traditional white headdress, he verbally accepts his marriage to his bride "on the book of God and the example of the prophet. Peace be upon him."
"Takbeer!" the others shout, marking his marriage with a kind of religious hooray.
It was the fourth trove of documents, images and computer files recovered during the raid of bin Laden's compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan. Earlier materials were released in May 2015, March 2016 and in January of this year.
The CIA said the nearly 470,000 additional files offer insights into the inner workings of the terrorist organization responsible for 9/11 and detail its clashes with the Islamic State group, a spin-off of al-Qaida's operation in Iraq. They also shed light on hardships that al-Qaida faced at the time of bin Laden's death.
Included is a 228-page, handwritten personal journal of bin Laden and about 79,000 images and audio files, including practice reels of public speeches. Also released were home videos and more than 10,000 video files, including the one of Hamza bin Laden's wedding.
'Father of the groom, prince of the mujahedeen'
After shouts of congratulations, the video moves to another location where the groom and others are sitting on a red carpet dotted with bowls of bananas and apples, bottles of cola, sweets and tea. The groom smiles nervously, revealing his dimples. Osama bin Laden is not seen, but a man notes that the "father of the groom, the prince of the mujahedeen" is overjoyed about his son's marriage and his happiness will "spread to all the mujahedeen."
At one point, a man stands up and offers a lengthy quiz on the history of Koranic verse, largely for the benefit of young boys in the group who compete to answer the questions. Red heart-shaped balloons decorate the room and in a second video of the wedding, the boys play a rough game of indoor soccer while the adults cheer.
Also included in the material is information about how al-Qaida planned to mark the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks and the network's work to spread its message through Western media; the group's effort to exploit the Arab uprisings in 2011; bin Laden's quest to keep his organization together amid disagreements over beliefs and operational tactics; and the organization's work to burnish its image with fellow Muslims amid negative media.
There are still materials that have not yet been released. The CIA said this includes materials that are sensitive to national security; those protected by copyright; pornography; malware; and blank, corrupted and duplicate files.
Not all the material, however, was of a serious nature. There was a video known as "Charlie bit my finger!" depicting a boy and his baby brother who bit his finger. There also were YouTube videos about crochet, including "How to Crochet a Flower."
And bin Laden's video collection included "Antz," a 1990s animated adventure comedy about an ant colony, "Chicken Little" and "The Three Musketeers." Also in the collection were "Where in the World is Osama bin Laden" and several National Geographic programs: "Kung Fu Killers," "Inside the Green Berets" and "World's Worst Venom."
Madonna — Fra Filippo Lippi (1406 – 1469)
From Wikipedia: hanged, drawn and quartered: Is what allahists should face for their crimes (all in public executions!)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanged%2C_drawn_and_quartered?wprov=sfla1
Illustration of the execution of Hugh the Younger Despenser, from a manuscript of Froissart (Bibliotheque Nationale MS Fr. 2643, folio 11r) To be hanged, drawn and quartered was from 1351 a statutory penalty in England for men convicted of high treason, although the ritual was first recorded during the reign of King Henry III (1216–1272). Convicts were fastened to a hurdle, or wooden panel, and drawn by horse to the place of execution, where they were hanged (almost to the point of death), emasculated, disembowelled, beheaded, and quartered (chopped into four pieces). Their remains were often displayed in prominent places across the country, such as London Bridge. For reasons of public decency, women convicted of high treason were instead burned at the stake.
The execution of Hugh Despenser the Younger, as depicted in the Froissart of Louis of Gruuthuse
The severity of the sentence was measured against the seriousness of the crime. As an attack on the monarch's authority, high treason was considered a deplorable act demanding the most extreme form of punishment. Although some convicts had their sentences modified and suffered a less ignominious end, over a period of several hundred years many men found guilty of high treason were subjected to the law's ultimate sanction. They included many English Catholic priests executed during the Elizabethan era, and several of the regicides involved in the 1649 execution of Charles I.
Although the Act of Parliament defining high treason remains on the United Kingdom's statute books, during a long period of 19th-century legal reform the sentence of hanging, drawing, and quartering was changed to drawing, hanging until dead, and posthumous beheading and quartering, before being abolished in England in 1870. The death penalty for treason was abolished in 1998.

Q: EF Code First Configuration of shared Base Class --> Single Configuration File I am using EF 5.0 Code First in a C# project.  I have a base clase which the majority of my domain models derive from.
public abstract class AuditableModelBase
{
    public Int32 CreatedByUserId { get; set; }

    public DateTime CreatedDate { get; set; }

    public virtual UserProfile CreatedByUserProfile { get; set; }

    public Int32 UpdatedByUserId { get; set; }

    public DateTime UpdatedDate { get; set; }

    public virtual UserProfile UpdatedByUserProfile { get; set; }

    public AuditableModelBase()
    {
        CreatedByUserId = 1;
        CreatedDate = DateTime.UtcNow;
        UpdatedByUserId = 1;
        UpdatedDate = DateTime.UtcNow;
    }
}

However, for every single entity I have to define the specific configurations to wire these relationships together.
// Relationships
        this.HasRequired(amb => amb.CreatedByUserProfile).WithMany().HasForeignKey(amb => amb.CreatedByUserId).WillCascadeOnDelete(false);
        this.HasRequired(amb => amb.UpdatedByUserProfile).WithMany().HasForeignKey(amb => amb.UpdatedByUserId).WillCascadeOnDelete(false);

I'm looking for a way to just declare one Configuration similar to the one directly above for the abstract base class instead of having to create an individual configuration file for each of my entities.  I'd love to just have one file named "AuditableModelBaseMap.cs" which will have my configuration instead of "Entity1Map.cs", "Entity2Map.cs", "Entity3Map.cs", etc. especially since all of those files have the exact same code inside.
Any advice?
Thanks.

A: Try it like below but I didnt test it  .However if I were you, I wouldnt design Audit tables this way
class AuditableModelBaseMap : EntityTypeConfiguration<AuditableModelBase>
    {
        public AuditableModelBaseMap ()
        {
            this.HasRequired(amb => amb.CreatedByUserProfile).WithMany().HasForeignKey(amb => amb.CreatedByUserId).WillCascadeOnDelete(false);
            this.HasRequired(amb => amb.UpdatedByUserProfile).WithMany().HasForeignKey(amb => amb.UpdatedByUserId).WillCascadeOnDelete(false);
        }
    }

THIS IS MY WAY OF Doing AUDITING
        public interface IEntity
            {
                int Id { get; set; }
            }

         public interface IAuditable : IEntity
            {
                string UpdatedBy { get; set; }
                string CreatedBy { get; set; }
                DateTime CreatedDate { get; set; }
                DateTime UpdateDate { get; set; }
            }

    Now any entity which is auditable will implement this class your context will look the following

            public class MYContext : DbContext, ILicensingContext
            {
                private readonly IAuditLogBuilder _auditLogBuilder;

                public LicensingContext()
                    : this(new AuditLogBuilder())
                {
                }
                private IDbSet<Device> Devices { get; set; }

                private IDbSet<AuditLog> AuditLogs { get; set; }

                public MyContext(IAuditLogBuilder auditLogBuilder)
                {
                    _auditLogBuilder = auditLogBuilder;
                }

                /// <summary>
                ///     1. Constructs the AuditLog objects from the context
                ///     2. Calls SaveChanges to save the actual object modified
                ///     3. It updates the Log objects constructed in step 1 to populate the IDs returned from the Db
                ///     4. Saves the AuditLogs
                /// </summary>
                /// <returns></returns>

                {
                    var entries = ChangeTracker.Entries<IAuditable>().ToList();

                    _auditLogBuilder.UpdateAuditables(entries);
                    IEnumerable<AuditLog> auditLogEntities = _auditLogBuilder.ConstructAuditLogs(entries).ToList();

                    int countOfAffectedRecords = base.SaveChanges();

                    _auditLogBuilder.UpdateAuditLogs(auditLogEntities);
                    foreach (AuditLog auditLogEntity in auditLogEntities)
                    {
                        GetDbSet<AuditLog>().Add(auditLogEntity);
                    }
                    base.SaveChanges();
                    return countOfAffectedRecords;
                }

                public IDbSet<TEntity> GetDbSet<TEntity>() where TEntity : class
                {
                    return Set<TEntity>();

Leeds United could be set to welcome James Milner back to Elland Road if they achieve promotion to the Premier League this season.
The Peacocks currently sit first place in the Championship standings but have work to do after suffering three consecutive defeats in all competitions, with another tough test on the horizon against Derby County this weekend.
However, the form under Marcelo Bielsa has been solid and Leeds are in the hunt for a return to the top-flight for the first time since their relegation in 2004 – and The Daily Star, via The Birmingham Mail, states Milner is keen on returning to his boyhood club if they achieve that feat.
Milner, now 33, rose through the youth ranks at Leeds but left after the club's relegation to join Newcastle United – with a £3.6m transfer fee helping to boost the finances of a club that had encountered a number of problems behind the scenes.
Capped 61 times by England, the versatile midfielder then moved to Aston Villa before joining Manchester City, where he won two Premier League titles, then joining current club Liverpool in 2014 on a free transfer.

Look to Women to End Conflict in Kyrgyzstan
Betsy Hoody July 12, 2010 Betsy Hoody Women

"Even now, I can't find the words to explain the kinds of horrors that are happening," wrote Nurjan Tulegabylova with El Agartuu, a women's organization based in Kyrgyzstan. "There are burned houses, but the worst is that corpses of people are lying on the street."
In June, in the span of 2-3 days, over 2,000 people were killed and hundreds of thousands of people displaced in southern Kyrgyzstan. Violence erupted in Osh and Jalal-Abad in the Ferghana Valley, where Uzbeks make up 15 percent of the population. Kyrgyzs gangs set on fire homes and businesses in Uzbek neighborhoods, forcing over 100,000 ethnic Uzbeks to seek refuge by crossing the border to Uzbekistan. The Uzbek government accepted 75,000 refugees, but quickly sealed off the border leaving thousands of ethnic Uzbeks homeless and living in fear.
Invisible Victims
The most vulnerable during this conflict, however, are women who have experienced harassment, rape, and murder. According to the head of the Forum of Women's NGOs of Kyrgyzstan, Nurgul Djanaeva, "Women and girls of both ethnic groups were raped and killed during unrest in the south of Kyrgyzstan." Because of the deep patriarchal culture that permeates the region, gender-based violence has not received widespread attention. "This issue is not addressed, not documented, and no one is brought to answer for these crimes," says Djanaeva. "Women become weapons of war in the hands of those who want to destabilize the country."
According to several women's groups the Global Fund for Women supports, many women have lost their family and friends and have nowhere to go. According to an article by Rochelle Jones, one woman "witnessed her pregnant Uzbek neighbor dragged into the street and murdered by a gang of Kyrgyz who cut her unborn child out of her body amid laughing and roaring crowds." "These women need urgent psychological rehabilitation," writes Tulegabylova, "because many of them are on the verge of a breakdown and are at risk of suicide."
Most observers of the June ethnic conflict point to the April 2010 elections in Kyrgyzstan where a change in political power sparked unrest. Yet the ethnic tensions have been fueled by neglect: years of unaddressed mistrust and separation among ethnic groups, as well as crumbling social infrastructurenews reports show Uzbek returnees (and their Kyrgyz neighbors) purchasing guns to secure themselves and their families. and welfare systems. When the Soviet Union disintegrated, two significant trends emerged across the region. One was the rise in nationalism fueled by the need to create a national identity, which was suppressed under Communism. The other was the gradual erosion of the social welfare state as each country adopted free-market capitalism as their economic system. The rise in nationalism and decline in the social welfare state have together created a volatile climate where blaming the "other" has been easier than addressing these systemic causes. Worse,
Organizing for Peace
Yet there are some hopeful signs. When violence broke out in Southern Kyrgyzstan this June, women's human rights defenders were among the first to respond to the crisis. As targeted attacks against Uzbeks increased, women's rights groups in Osh and Jalal-Abad helped their Uzbek colleagues and clients find safe places to stay. When women of both Kyrgyz and Uzbek ethnicities were raped, women's crisis centers responded with emergency medical and psychological support. National women's networks reached out to women leaders in the South to learn about women's most urgent needs and coordinate relief plans. Djanaeva traveled from Bishkek to Osh, where she visited hospitals, crisis centers, police stations, and morgues – and found that women's experiences of gender-based violence were not being documented or responded to by general humanitarian efforts.
The Forum of Women's NGOs of Kyrgyzstan called an emergency meeting in Bishkek, where women's leaders from around the country developed a strategy for their response over the next five months, including immediate support for women who have experienced violence, documentation of sexual violence, and peacebuilding efforts among ethnic Uzbek and Kyrgyz women in rural communities throughout Kyrgyzstan.
Such an immediate and well-coordinated response to the crisis does not come as a surprise. Since the 1990s, Kyrgyzstan has grown one of the most vibrant women's movements in all of Central Asia. Rural women's initiatives groups have sprung up throughout the country, promoting women's needs in local budgeting processes, responding to gender-based violence, and advancing women in politics at every level. The movement's grassroots networking connects rural women activists around the country, enabling quick and strategic responses to the shifting political and social environment. This strength was demonstrated in 2005, when 100 women activists convened within weeks of the Tulip Revolution, the uprising that removed President Askar Akayev from power after accusations of fraudulent parliamentary elections in February 2005. Over the course of two days, the women produced a United Plan of Action, which outlined a common strategy for lobbying for gender equality with the new government.
Five years later, women are again coming together for common action in Kyrgyzstan. In doing so, they are reaching out to the most marginalized women, such as sex workers, women living with HIV, and LBT women. This outreach ensures that these populations, which are often overlooked by general humanitarian efforts, receive aid, support, and safety from additional violence. By bringing together local women of different ethnicities to collaborate on rebuilding their communities, women are addressing the root causes of the violence: years of unaddressed mistrust and separation among ethnic groups, as well as crumbling social infrastructure and welfare systems.
Investing in Women
In the coming weeks, as the provisional government struggles to determine the future of the Kyrgyzstan government and attain stability in the South, it will be these same women that are implementing local peace-building programs and bringing women's solutions to national discussions.
To prevent further repetition of the recent violence, investment in the long-term stability of the region is desperately needed. The Global Fund for Women knows from 23 years of supporting grassroots women's initiatives that women on the ground best understand the problems in their communities – and are uniquely positioned to implement realistic, effective solutions.
Women's human rights defenders in Kyrgyzstan have demonstrated that they have the skills and capacity to begin building stability and trust across ethnic groups in the region. What is wanting is financial support and recognition of these initiatives as legitimate strategies for promoting human security. As we approach the ten year anniversary of UN Security Council Resolution 1325, which calls for the inclusion of women in conflict prevention, resolution, and peace building], the situation in Kyrgyzstan presents the international community with an opportunity not only to promote women's inclusion in the peace-building process, but to recognize and support their role as innovative leaders at the local and national level.

"OnSite" opening July 10th and running through October 2016 at the Katonah Museum of Art.
I'm happy to be doing a large scale drawing and sculptural installation as well as a new series of cement on paper works as part of show. This new installation piece will encompass the entrance and main hall and then "move through" the building into another gallery's large window corner, diagonally. Giving the viewer a feeling that the building is attempting to reconstruct itself from the inside. As well as the perception of transforming out through a set of large windows. The imagery is based on the Katonah's museum building itself, Architect Edward Larrabee Barnes in combination with Gropius and Breuer to examine the end of modernist visual vocabulary and pushes through a lense of Metabolist theory and towards a visual response to the actual site of the museum and landscape.

Late night TV hosts won't have Paul Ryan to kick around much longer, though with his biceps they always had to do it at a safe distance anyway. Ryan's gym habit was a frequent target of last night's monologues – that, and, as more than one comic said, his dream of robbing poor kids of health care.
Noah got a bit more serious showing a montage of old clips of Ryan lambasting national debt, with the future Speaker asking at one point what could be worth "selling out" our children and grandchildren?
"Uh, tax cuts?" answered Noah.
Check out the segment above. The Ryan jokes come around the 4:08 mark.

Q: Getting the centroid coordinates with moments I have a question about how to determinate the centroid coordinates of an object. I read that for a given shape xc = m10/m00, yc = m01/m00 are the coordinates of the object centroid.
Is it possible to find the same coordinates whatever the selected ROI of an image ?
Here is my code for getting centroid cordinates for 300 images selecting the same ROI for all images:
for i in range(N_files):
    images  = ROI[i, :, :]
    ret, thresh = cv2.threshold(images, 105, 255, cv2.THRESH_BINARY)
    contours, hierarchy = cv2.findContours(thresh, cv2.RETR_TREE, cv2.CHAIN_APPROX_SIMPLE)
    moments = cv2.moments(thresh)
    cx_centroid.append(int(moments["m10"] / (moments["m00"]+10**-15)))
    cy_centroid.append(int(moments["m01"] / (moments["m00"]+10**-15)))

Professor Peeter Tulviste passed away on Saturday, 11 March.
It is with deep sadness that I have to inform you that Professor Peeter Tulviste, Rector Emeritus of the University of Tartu, passed away on Saturday, 11 March. We mourn the loss of a great scholar and a great man who served as the Rector of the University of Tartu from 1993 to 1998.
Peeter Tulviste was born on 28 October 1945. He graduated from the Tallinn Secondary School No. 10 in 1964 and earned his first degree in Psychology in 1969 from the Moscow State University. He continued his studies at the same university under world-renowned Professor Alexander Luria and went on to obtain his Candidate of Science degree (PhD) in Psychology in 1975 and Sc. D. in Psychology in 1987.
His entire academic career was devoted to the scientific research in psychology and training of psychologists. His contacts with the University of Tartu started already while studying and doing his research in Moscow. He began his academic career at Tartu in 1969 as a lecturer at the Chair of Psychology and Logic of the University of Tartu Faculty of History and Languages. He became associate professor in 1978 and full professor in 1988.
Tulviste's main scientific interest was cultural psychology. As one of the world's leading scientists in this field of research he helped to bring about a "cultural turn" in psychology. He supervised several doctoral dissertations and his research results have found their way into a wide range of international scientific publications.
Peeter Tulviste was elected as an academician of the Estonian Academy of Science in 1994 and served as its Vice-President from 1994 to 2004. Besides his academic work, he was always prepared to take on administrative roles at the university. From 1992 to 1993 he served as Vice-Rector for Research and from 1993 to 1998 as Rector of the University of Tartu. Since 2015 he was Professor Emeritus and Advisor to the Rector.
Peeter Tulviste's contribution to the development of Estonia's alma mater cannot be overestimated. As Rector he was an inspiring and demanding leader, a wise and principled reformer of the university. His time of office as Rector saw important structural reorganisations and dramatic expansion of the University's international contacts and activities.
As a member of Pro Patria and Res Publica Union (Estonian: Isamaa ja Res Publica Liit) he served as the Chairman of the Tartu City Council (from 1999–2001) and was twice elected to the Estonian Parliament (from 2003–2011).
Peeter Tulviste was a member of numerous committees, foundations and associations. He was vice-president of the Estonian Research and Development Council from 1994–1998, and president and board member of the European Movement Estonia from 2000–2002. He was also a recipient of numerous awards and acknowledgements, including Sweden's Royal Order of the Polar Star, 1st class (1995), Order of the National Coat of Arms, 3rd class (2006). Tulviste was Honorary Doctor of Voronezh State University and Medical Academy of Poland.
In his social responsibilities he was driven by a strong sense of mission and statesmanlike attitude. He will be fondly remembered for his innate friendliness and kindness in his public roles and interpersonal relationships.
The funeral service will be held on Saturday, 18 March at noon in the University Assembly Hall. A book of condolences will be available for signing until Friday, 17 March from 9 am to 4:30 pm at the Rector's Office, and on Saturday in the foyer of the University Main Building before the funeral service.
Professor Volli Kalm
Rector of the University of Tartu

Finding Your Unique (Unicorn) Voice
There are close to 8 billion people in the world.
There are millions of blogs, songs, and books.
Social media has billions of users with billions more posts.
Everyone, in one way or another, has something to say.
Sometimes, the voices are attention-seeking. Other times, they just bicker. The sound can be deafening.
In that cacophony, we may feel silenced. Maybe we think nothing's been left unsaid. Or we refuse to add chaos to the scene.
Possibly, we're unsure what to think or feel anymore at all. We wonder if anyone even cares.
In that instant, we've forgotten that we're unicorns.
Your Story Matters
Unicorns care about others, without caring about what they think.
They live life, love it, and flaunt it.
They shine, know who they are, and say what they need to say.
It may be cliche, but there really is only one of you in the world. Your story is unique. And as much as humans have essential commonalities, they have equally beautiful differences.
Those disparities have a right to be identified, voiced, and embraced.
You are that distinction.
A world without your voice is at a disservice. Your perspective is not only useful, it's imperative.
But how can you stand out amongst the ear-splitting noise?
Be a Voice For Change
So many topics are covered ad nauseum. Politics, beauty, pop culture—it can be hard to feel original. It can be hard to feel heard.
But you already are. In a background of static, you are your own clear image. In a discordant symphony, you are a soloist.
Your voice is your outfit of the day. It's the way you play an instrument, write a poem, or just choose to spend your time.
It's how you interact with people. It's a smile, or a "no, thank you."
Your voice is what you intentionally do. It's the way of life you model for others.
Don't worry if you don't know how to tell the story. Just be the story.
It doesn't have to be epic or a showstopper. Like the butterfly effect, life-changing performances often start small.
You just have to believe in your own unicorn magic.

#BackToBasics – What is Capacity Threshold Monitoring?
28.8.2012 by Alice Cullen
Capacity Threshold Monitoring is the best way to ensure that you're getting the most from your servers. So what is it and how do you use it? Capacity Threshold Monitoring (CTM) allows you to track every aspect of your dedicated server, from bandwidth consumption to disk utilisation. By setting a threshold for each area of your dedicated solution's performance, you are notified as soon as this level is reached. This enables you to respond – by increasing bandwidth, disk space etc – before service-affecting levels are reached. You are able to customise SMS and email alerts to notify you and…
