France holds memorial for Paris attacks victims
(AP Photo/Francois Mori)
France on Friday mourned the 130 people killed in the November 13 Paris attacks, with President Francois Hollande leading a solemn ceremony in honour of the victims.
Families of the dead from the country\'s worst ever terror attack joined some of the hundreds of injured at the Invalides, the gilded 17th-century complex in Paris that houses a military hospital and Napoleon\'s tomb.
Hollande has called on the French to display the red, white and blue French flag in their homes and they were selling fast in Paris.
But some of the victims\' families are boycotting the ceremony, saying the government failed to take sufficient measures to protect the nation in the wake of the jihadist shootings in January.
"Thanks Mr President, politicians, but we don\'t want your handshake or your tribute, and we hold you partly responsible for what has happened!" Emmanuelle Prevost, whose brother was one of the 90 killed at the Bataclan concert hall on November 13, wrote on Facebook.
The attacks two weeks ago on bars, restaurants, a concert hall and the national stadium were claimed by the Islamic State (IS) group.
Hollande is expected to make a 20-minute address at the one-hour ceremony, which will be televised live.
Reflecting the solemnity of the occasion, Liberation and Le Parisien dailies listed all the victims on their front pages Friday.
Hollande has spent the week in a whirlwind diplomatic bid to build a broad military coalition to defeat IS, although his efforts have met with limited success.
The marathon has taken him from Paris to Washington to Moscow in just a few days.
Hollande said Thursday that he and President Vladimir Putin had agreed to coordinate air strikes against IS.
"The strikes against Daesh (IS) will be intensified and be the object of coordination," Hollande said, adding that the military action would focus on the transportation of oil.
The future role of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, however, remained a deeply divisive issue following the talks in the Kremlin, as Putin said the Syrian army was a "natural partner in the fight against terrorism".
Hollande however argued that Assad "has no place in the future of Syria."
On Friday, French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said he could envisage Syrian regime troops taking part in the anti-IS fight.
In order to fight IS, "there must be two measures: bombings… and ground troops who cannot be ours, but who should be of the (opposition) Free Syrian Army, Sunni Arab forces, and why not regime forces too," Fabius told RTL radio.
Fabius later clarified his position, telling AFP he meant that Syrian government troops could take part in the fight against IS only if the regime changed.
It could happen "within the context of a political transition — and only in this context," he said.
Hollande\'s diplomatic drive has secured some offers of support from France\'s allies but also run into coolness and complications, made tougher by a row over Turkey\'s downing of a Russian warplane on the Syrian-Turkish border.
The French leader has the support of Britain, whose Prime Minister David Cameron set out his case on Thursday for air strikes against IS in Syria, telling British lawmakers that the country could not "sub-contract" its security to allies.
He has also been backed by Germany, which has offered Tornado reconnaissance jets, a naval frigate, satellite images and aerial refuelling to help in the fight against IS.
Germany is also promising to send 650 soldiers to Mali to provide some relief to French forces fighting jihadists there.
But Hollande received a vague response from Italy, and got few concrete promises from President Barack Obama in Washington on Tuesday.
The United States is reluctant to intensify military action in Syria without a clear strategy in place, and will not work with Russia while it is bombing other rebel groups in what Washington sees as an attempt to bolster Assad.
As France mourns its dead, an international manhunt is still on for two key suspects in the attacks — Salah Abdeslam, who played a key logistical role in the wave of terror, and Mohamed Abrini, seen with Abdeslam two days before the November 13 atrocities.

Welcome to the critically-acclaimed sci-fi comic Runners! Here you'll find the first two graphic novels in their entirety, along with bonus behind-the-scenes commentary for most pages. The graphic novels (and other goodies) can also be purchased from the Runners Store. Enjoy the read!
It's just another day in the life of reluctant smuggler Roka Nostaco and his ragtag alien crew as they struggle to complete a particularly dangerous run for the mob. Their adventure takes them from shootouts with pirates to ship-to-ship dogfights with ruthless bounty hunters, culminating in an all-out, three-way ship, cycle and foot chase through the streets of an alien space station. All the while, they also have to contend with a vengeful mercenary, a ghost from the past and a mysterious alien girl lying unconscious on their cargo bay floor!
Hard times have fallen on Roka Nostaco and the smuggling crew of the Khoruysa Brimia. Tired of scraping by on small-time runs for petty criminals, they take on a big job to get back into the top tier of mob-level work. But high pay comes with high risk, and if the freezing climate of Planet Ciceron doesn't kill them, the hostile native population might. Assuming they don't all kill each other first! Success could put them back on track, but are they in the driver's seat or just pawns in a much bigger double-cross?
RUNNERS Now Available On ComiXology!
I am SUPER excited to announce that RUNNERS is finally available on the digital comic site ComiXology!! The Volume 1 graphic novel is available for purchase, and even better, I also have a FREE preview issue available, which includes the first 2 chapters of the series! Please help me spread the word: now anyone on ComiXology can try the first 2 issues of RUNNERS for free! And Vol 2 will be coming to the site shortly as well!
For anyone unfamiliar with ComiXology, you have to BUY the books through their website. Once you buy them, you can read them via the app. I just don't think you can buy through the app. And through the ComiXology app, you can read the book with their cool Guided View feature, which advances the story panel-by-panel on your device. It makes for a fun new way to read the series other than page-by-page (although that is also an option).
You can get the FREE Preview issue HERE.
And you can get the full Volume 1 graphic novel HERE.
RUNNERS Now Live on Patreon!
It's official: I have launched my ongoing RUNNERS comic project on Patreon!
For those unfamiliar, Patreon is kinda like Kickstarter, but instead of making a one-time pledge for a physical product, you back a project's ongoing creation and are charged a regular monthly amount (although you can cancel, upgrade, or downgrade at any time). Like Kickstarter, there are different tiers, and I will (eventually) be offering different ongoing rewards, including access to the comic at the script, pencil, and ink stages, as well as fully-layered color files. Also, sketchbook pages with commentary and even some polling input on designs.
Right now, it is a "soft launch" since Patreon is changing its structure a bit in May. In order to get grandfathered into the current rates, I needed to launch now, before the changes take effect. So I currently won't be offering the actual rewards. Those will start later this year, once I get through the pre-production phase of Vol 3 and start producing actual pages.
In the meantime, the current tiers are just set up as donations. If you are a fan of the series or just feel like supporting me in this endeavor, you can join Patreon (it's super easy to create an account) and back and any of the tier levels. You'll be charged that amount at the beginning of every month, but you'll be helping me finance the long-term production of the series. And later this year, depending on the tier, you'll be getting access to a number of behind-the-scenes content that will be exclusive to Patreon backers.
Thanks everyone! It's a very exciting time to be a comic creator but still an incredibly uphill battle, as an indie creator, to get the series into financially solvent territory. But I'm excited to get the series going again and keep it going until the full story is told!
Check out the RUNNERS Patreon project HERE.
Just an update on the printing of my colored RUNNERS Volume 1 book: there's good news, bad news, and good news again.
The Good News: about a week ago, the printed books were delivered!
The Bad News: Upon reviewing the books, I was super disappointed to see that a lot of pages were oversaturated, throwing the look of the characters off and making those pages too dark overall. I'm not crazy-nitpicky, but it was certainly something that made the art less than it should be, especially as the volume that's supposed to launch the entire series. And for a year of coloring work and as the book that I'll be selling for years to come, I just wasn't happy with the results. For the past week, I've been waiting as the printer reviewed their files to see if it was a problem on their end or mine (although I already knew it was not mine).
The Good News: I talked to the printer today and they did acknowledge that it was a saturation setting on their end. We discussed options, but ultimately I want to have the run reprinted with the correct color settings. Unfortunately, since they're schedule is pretty packed, the new run won't be until June. They suggested that I could fulfill current orders with the books in hand and they'd reprint the remaining, but this didn't seem fair. I didn't want the earliest supporters (Kickstarter backers and pre-sale buyers) to get the "inferior" version now, just to have a better version later. So I guess we all wait.
I feel terrible about this on many fronts. I really hate the idea of pulping an entire run of books, but they really fall short of my expectations for the art. I really hate the idea of making people wait even longer to get the books. But I hope everyone will be understanding and find the wait worth it. I want to get people the best possible version of the book, and I hope this next print run will make that possible.
On the plus side, the printer has been nice to work with. They also printed my Vol 2 color book a number of years ago, and that was spot-on perfect. I don't know what happened with this one, but they have been willing to make it right, which is great.
Khoruysa Brimia 3-D Printed Ship Now Available!!
I've been waiting a long time to see my RUNNERS ships in 3-D (as have some other people), and now, it is done! Working from my various drawings, my good friend and amazing 3-D artist David White has sculpted the Khoruysa Brimia, Roka's smuggling ship from my series!
The ship is available in 2 different sizes and multiple material options. The smaller one is 4.75″ long and starts at $35. The larger one is 7″ long and starts at $99. I think the details really shine at the 7″ size, but it looks nice at the 4.5″ size too.
The basic material is Versatile Plastic, and the white color comes in Natural, Processed, or Premium finishing. The Natural is a bit rough and grainy, like a fine sandpaper texture, which I'm not crazy about. The Processed is the next level up and is a smoother texture. The difference between Natural and Processed is negligible, so it's pretty much a no-brainer to go for Processed. Premium is smoother still, but honestly, I don't necessarily think it's worth double the price of Processed.
The colored plastic is available in Processed finish only, but as I mentioned above, that's probably my top pick anyway for look and price. There are even fancy Steel options but those are currently outside my budget! Ha ha! I opted for the 4.75″ in white (to review all 3 finishes) and the 7″ in blue. I think the color versions really shows off the detail more than the white. White might be better for painting, but I have not played around with that so I have no idea how the material accepts paint.
For each size, the stand is sold separately and plugs into a rectangular hole in the bottom of the ship. For the stand, I think the Natural finish is fine. If you do place an order, it will give you a long delivery time of maybe a month, but in actuality, the turnaround time is much shorter.
It's super cool to be able to finally see my ship in 3-D and hopefully it won't be the last. David really knocked it out of the park with this sculpt! And if you want to see more of his work, which consists mostly of intricately articulated 3-D printed robots, check out his site at www.mechanauts.net!

Preparing to Welcome the Rohingya to Canada - the Perspective of a Canadian University Student
In October of this year, the government of Canada introduced a revised immigration plan for the coming years. The Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship announced that between 2021 and 2023, Canada plans to welcome approximately 400,000 immigrants per year. In light of this news, professionals working with newcomers in the health, legal and settlement and other sectors must be able to prepare themselves to welcome refugees and immigrants from different cultures and backgrounds.
In the coming years, it is possible that we may see e a few Rohingya immigrating to Canada as a result of the persecution and genocide that they are subjected to in their home country of Myanmar. As with any group, adapting to Canada will be difficult for the Rohingya. To help ease this transition, it is important for professionals to understand more about them and to continue learning in order to better support them through these life altering changes.
The Rohingya come from the poorest state in all of Myanmar. Nearly one million of them have left their home country since the late 1970s and 55% of all refugees are and have been children. It is important to keep in mind that these children would have difficulties adapting to their school communities and would need a significant amount of help addressing their traumas. The Rohingya speak Rohingya or Ruaingga, a dialect that is specific to them and is not spoken anywhere else in Myanmar. Collaboration with experts in Rohingya dialect will facilitate the work of professionals and organizations helping the group through their transition. The experiences of the Rohingya, over decades, have been nothing short of traumatic. It will take time and a substantial amount of care to make them feel truly safe in Canada. In particular, many of the children will grapple, for years, with the death and destruction that they have seen in their villages. It is crucial to establish a sense of trust and support for Rohingya refugees and migrants. The experiences that they have endured in Myanmar, where the military continues committing heinous crimes against them, have made them weary of trusting government officials.

Being that the Rohingya are a majority Muslim group, they do not consume pork or any animal that was not ritually slaughtered according to their Halal tradition. In addition, they observe prayer 5 times a day, facing Mekkah, and must have the facilities to adequately bathe and clean themselves before prayer. The Rohingya have demonstrated immense commitment to their religion. They have been fasting during the holy month of Ramadan, even in refugee camps in Bangladesh during the Coronavirus pandemic. For the Rohingya, who were denied many of their religious rights while living in Myanmar, having the ability to freely observe their religion is incredibly important. A devout group, many of them will find solace and peace in being able to pray and engage with their beliefs openly. Rohingya that will be working in Canada would need to be aided in finding work that will allow them the opportunity, including quiet designated facilities, for prayer.
A majority of Myanmar's population is incredibly superstitious and believe in things like fortune tellers and astrology. It is important to note that, unlike in Buddhism which is the primary religion practiced in Myanmar, in Islamic religion, fortune telling and psychics are regarded as black magic. These things are said to go against the teachings of the Quran and are prohibited. While there are many superstitious beliefs in Myanmar, being that the Rohingya are quite religious, it is safe to assume that they would not believe in these same things.
There is so much more to be learned about the Rohingya. At this time, there is a limited amount of information about the group and much more knowledge will come through real interaction with them. Immigrants, and what they offer our society, is crucial to Canada. Some may view migrants and refugees in a negative light; as if they are 'freeloading' off of the Canadian government, or 'stealing Canadian jobs'. But it's important to ask ourselves: Do we, as Canadians, really want to work at the jobs that migrants are supposedly 'taking' from us? I have never seen a fifth generation Canadian be excited to work as a school janitor, but I have seen an immigrant from a struggling country jump at the same opportunity. It's important to remember that immigrants and refugees can be well educated or have lived a fairly good life in their home countries; however, for many, their education is not recognized when they come to Canada and they encounter monumental changes to their way of life. Putting their pride aside, they take low-paying jobs in order to be able to support themselves and their families. There are many preconceived notions that shape our views of who refugees and migrants are. It is important to always put this aside and recognize that before all else, they are people who need help and compassion to be able to adapt to life here. Canadian culture does not exist without migrants; rather it has been created and shaped by migrants.

I blogged previously about how to build _bsddb for Python 2.6 by hacking the Python source code to accommodate changes in berkeley-db.
Here's an easier way that doesn't require hacking source code.
It's well-known that the Python that comes with OS X machines typically doesn't have _bsddb.
I downloaded Python 2.6.8 and attempted to build it and it wouldn't build the _bsddb module.
Here's what I did to fix this.
I used Homebrew to install berkeley-db4. For me, this grabbed version 4.8.30.
Edited Modules/_bsddb.c and replaced all instances of DB_XIDDATASIZE with DB_GID_SIZE. I removed lines that had DB_XA_CREATE.
This created the file Modules/_bsddb.so.

Rooney leading
How is it that Grover Norquist, the prominent anti-tax proponent quoted in "Rooney still supports carbon tax", The News-Press, Dec. 10, sees that such a tax (actually, a fee) would be "toxic to the economy," but not that the amount of carbon we spew into the air by burning fossil fuels is toxic to the planet?
How is it that he champions a free market handling of fossil fuels but fails to note the billions the industry receives every year, $20.5 billion in 2018, from the government? (A free market would remove these subsidies and allow green energies to compete on a level economic playing field with fossil fuels.)
How is it that he says the price of virtually everything would rise, but fails to say that the current price of fossil fuel products do not reflect their true and exorbitant costs? Exxon and Shell aren't paying the huge price tags for the historic hurricanes, wildfires, and droughts we are experiencing. They externalize those costs onto us, as they do the crippling health and health care costs, and if things don't change, the mind-boggling costs of sea level rise.
Mr. Norquist says Rep. Rooney is risking his career. I say he is leading.

Left in limbo
By sheer coincidence, I have been made aware that the Department of Environmental Protection otherwise known as DEP is a bit of a joke. That is thanks to your article, "Turning the Toxic Tide: Florida needs new approach to environmental regulation", The News-Press, Dec. 9, which singles the agency out for its slowness to act on environmental issues.
Case in point would be the recent experiment at the entrance of at least one Cape Coral canal where a local firm installed bubblers as a means to keep contaminants out in the Caloosahatchee River. The project seems like an excellent idea because as most of us know the river is a sad excuse for purity. You cannot see even a foot below the surface in most places. Now it appears that the city of Cape Coral has ordered the removal of the bubblers pending some kind of approval from DEP.
Sad to say, a positive project aimed at improving the health of our canal system has been left in limbo.

With the end of the year lurking around the corner, I am going to make my New Year resolution. I will not be sending letters to the editor any longer. I started with the opinion I could make my voice heard and possibly a difference. I suspect many have participated with the same intentions.
I do thank the many readers and responders to all of the letters and hope we can continue to share our thoughts. But the reason for my departure is clear to me. I have decided change must start with me. So today I must declare changes at home and family must take center stage. The art of democracy may be rooted in the general population but for me it must start now and how I live my life.
I acknowledge three things most important in my life: family, God, country. I cannot affect change in two of the three but I can in one of them, family. I will cherish my times with family and friends, seek solutions that are meaningful to them, act and behave responsibly, and learn to open my thinking for the betterment of family. Good luck to all in 2019. If we keep family first, the rest will come easily.

Sugar fix
A big thank you to U.S. Rep. Brian Mast for shining light on water management last-minute vote to extend lease to Florida Crystals use of taxpayer land to continue farming, instead of fast-tracking the building our much-needed reservoir for storing water from Lake Okeechobee.
Florida is a tourist state and should not be ruled by the very powerful sugar industry. Gov.-elect DeSantis should remove the unethical members of the South Florida Water Management Board with individuals devoted to the preservation and restoration of clean water, pronto.
It's time, we the citizens of Southwest Florida, become the No. 1 priority for our government officials, and not the sugar industry.

Darksiders III is the next installment in the Darksiders franchise, which consists of hack and slash action-adventure games. Story-wise, humanity has been rendered extinct in a post-apocalyptic world, while angels and demons continue to fight it out for the control of the cosmos. Players take the role of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, who are nephilim charged with restoring balance.
So far, each of the Darksiders games has focused on a different member of the Horsemen. For example, the first Darksiders game was centered on War, while the second Darksiders game was centered on Death. Likewise, the third Darksiders game will be centered on Fury, who stands out in that she is the one female member of the Horsemen.
Regardless, what is interesting about this setup is that each member of the Horsemen has a very different fighting style, meaning that interested individuals should be able to count on Darksiders III to be both very similar and very different from its predecessors in what could be a very good way.
What Did We See in the Latest Darksiders III Trailer?
The latest trailer that has been released for Darksiders III is called the Force Fury trailer. There were no major revelations. Instead, interested individuals got a good look at some of the abilities that Fury can use as well as some of the enemies that players can expect to encounter. For example, the trailer showed Fury making good use of her whip, but there was a neat sequence in which she used a huge hammer as well.
Likewise, other capabilities were shown off, with examples ranging from targeting enemies to traveling along light-up walls. On the whole, the Force Fury trailer won't convince people who aren't already interested in what the Darksiders series has to offer, but for those who are counting the days until the November release, it should serve as a neat appetizer.

In another convincing victory the St George Illawarra Dragons have displayed that they will yet again be the team to beat in the coming 2011 NRL competition. While the team has lost some high profile players such as Jeremy Smith and Neville Costigan, there were encouraging signs with a number of younger players performing well in yesterdays win. Although the Rabbits were not overly impressive, they were missing some key players, which would have influenced the result. In reality the Charity Shield is a trial and Souths should make the finals with the roster they have, anything else will be a failure.
No doubt the Dragons will be the benchmark in this years premiership, however it will be interesting to see if they can repeat their outstanding performance of 2010. Coach Wayne Bennett's history at the Brisbane Broncos proves that he can get the best out of his players year after year. The defence of the 2010 NRL premiership will be a difficult task with the salary cap bringing teams closer together than ever before.
Good luck to the mighty Dragons in this year's competition. Hopefully they can win the minor premiership for the third straight year and follow it up will a win in the decider.

How Ryan Reynolds Built a Business Empire
With a range of film and TV projects on the way, as well as initiatives through his company Maximum Effort, the actor and entrepreneur has turned his on-camera charisma into major marketing savvy.

Don't put that on. That Deadpool mask will offer you zero protection," Ryan Reynolds says, seeing me eye the burgundy-and-black superhero face covering displayed on a credenza behind him. "Actually, that mask will probably give you an STD." His broad smile falls away, replaced with a grave countenance. "No, really," he says, sotto voce. "You will catch something. I did."
"For the longest time, I was a passenger in the work I did," says Ryan Reynolds. "Then one day you say, 'What if I was maybe more than that?'" Hermès polo, $970, hermes.com.

Unmasked (though vaxxed and tested), Reynolds and I are in the barn on the property Reynolds shares with his wife, Blake Lively, and their three daughters in a wooded area north of New York City so rural he refers to it as "Paul Bunyan's asshole." We're upstairs in a former hayloft littered with reminders of the 45-year-old Canadian actor's success since wearing the Deadpool mask on-screen: Draped on a motorcycle, a scarf bears the crest of Wrexham AFC, the fifth-tier Welsh soccer club Reynolds purchased this past February with Rob McElhenney and about which the pair are making an FX docuseries. A bar cart is lined with bottles of Aviation Gin, the brand he bought that was acquired by Diageo as part of a deal reported to be worth up to $610 million in 2020 (with the agreement that Reynolds would maintain "an ongoing ownership interest"). And there's a massive velvet sofa in a shade that Reynolds calls "Mint Mobile green," referring to the cellular phone company in which he purchased a majority stake in 2019 because he was a fan of the service. It was on that couch, Reynolds explains, that he pitched his vision for Free Guy, an empowering feel-good comedy in the guise of a videogame action flick that became a surprise blockbuster this summer.
What Reynolds caught with Deadpool was a taste of creative independence. Boxed in by Hollywood norms, Reynolds started by carving out his own lane: action-comedy, with off-color—and often simply blue—humor. Since then, he's blazed a path that allows him to be an actor, writer, producer, entrepreneur, viral marketer and cultural maven, often all at once. Recently, there's been a subtle yet discernible shift in the Tao of Reynolds, away from his signature self-deprecating snark toward self-deprecating sincerity.
Receiving his WSJ. Magazine 2021 Innovators Award, actor and entrepreneur Ryan Reynolds on mastering marketing through movies: "I worked on movies that were enormous failures. That's where I learned—I should take some authorship here."
"Full disclosure: I shot till about 3:30 this morning; drove till 5:30 or 6; slept for an hour and a half until two of my kids punched me in the face," says Reynolds, clad in a floral western shirt, gray pants and tan leather boots. "So…finding my words may take a second. Good thing. There'll be less for you to bleep out."
Reynolds has managed to be prolific since the pandemic hit. He filmed the action-heist comedy Red Notice (streaming on Netflix on November 12) alongside Dwayne Johnson and Gal Gadot; he recently completed his most emotionally resonant role, as a man who travels back in time to confront his father, in The Adam Project, due out next spring; and he's currently filming Spirited, a modern musical reimagining of Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol in which he stars opposite Will Ferrell and Octavia Spencer as a singing, dancing version of Scrooge. After Reynolds snuck away from the set in Boston, driving through the night, he was confronted with a typical battery of commitments on this late September Friday: a video and photo shoot, this interview and, as usual, countless emails, texts, phone calls and Zooms for his film and TV projects, marketing clients, brands and social-impact initiatives. Reynolds chose the name Maximum Effort for his production company and marketing agency because it was Deadpool's catchphrase. It could also be his own.

Reynolds's closest collaborators marvel at his willingness to work. Paul Wernick, his co-writer and co–executive producer on the Deadpool franchise, says: "He lives in a world where his days are 50 hours long. He commits full force to a project and wills it to succeed." Gadot, his Red Notice co-star: "He gives 200 percent to everything in the most nonchalant way." Shawn Levy, his director on Free Guy and The Adam Project, says Reynolds refuses to rest on his superstar status: "His work ethic is so disproportionate to what he could get away with. The guy hustles nonstop."
"I tend to bite off way more than I could or should chew," Reynolds says. "I think maybe it's just that Canadian sensibility: 'Well, I said I was going to, so I have to deliver this.' I will do that at the cost of my own well-being sometimes." In late May, near the end of Mental Health Awareness Month, Reynolds took to social media to share with his tens of millions of followers that he suffers from anxiety. His "longtime pal," as he called it, has traveled with him since childhood, though pressures of his professional life amplified it. "I fixate on things," he says. "That's sort of the engine of anxiety. I lay awake at night, wrapping and unwrapping every possible scenario. I slept at a perfect right angle for so many years."

However, he's actively trying to manage the issue through meditation and a conscious effort to be mindful. "I tend to pave over anxiety with work and, to a lesser extent, achievement," he says. "You want to tick boxes sometimes. So these days, my goal is to be as present as I can and not just tick a box just to do it. I'm fully embracing and living that right now. It's been amazing." He makes a check mark in the air. "OK," he says, "heartfelt personal-growth quote: check."
Reynolds grew up in Vancouver, British Columbia. His mother was a retail saleswoman, and his father, a retired Canadian Mountie, worked as a food wholesaler. Early on, Reynolds learned to use humor to defuse his dad—a "skin-covered land mine" with whom "you never knew when you were going to take a wrong step, and he was just going to explode"—and to push back against his older brothers. As the youngest of four boys, he packed more impact with his punch lines than his punches. "You're not going to get by on your biceps. You're going to get by on your wit," he says. At 12, Reynolds was cast in the Canadian teen drama Hillside and then landed spot parts in a handful of TV shows and movies shot in British Columbia. Nevertheless, after high school, his primary role was that of an overnight stock boy at the local Safeway. He enrolled at a college in Vancouver but, 45 minutes into his very first class, left for good. The next day he departed for Los Angeles, sure he would joke his way into The Groundlings, unaware that the storied comedy troupe required a long course of study. Reynolds had neither the money, time nor visa status to take improv classes, so he improvised. To get a work permit, he would have to land not just a guest spot but a starring role. After a series of fruitless meetings, Reynolds took a different tack at one talent agency: "I bullshitted them and said, 'If you send me on five auditions, I swear to God, I'll get one.' "
"His brain's always working on how to make it better, more delightful, funnier," says Gal Gadot, Reynolds's longtime friend and co-star in "Red Notice." Hermès polo, $970, hermes.com.
Much to Reynolds's surprise, one audition led to him being cast in a pilot and then a lead in the ABC comedy Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place (later shortened to Two Guys and a Girl). Reynolds had already surpassed his loftiest aspirations. "The empyrean heights I was reaching for," he says, "were just to be a wacky neighbor in a sitcom." After the series' four-season run, Reynolds embarked on a meandering movie career, bouncing between various avatars: comedy Reynolds (Van Wilder, Just Friends, The Change-Up); action-movie Reynolds (Blade: Trinity, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Safe House); rom-com Reynolds (Definitely, Maybe; The Proposal); dramatic Reynolds (Buried, Woman in Gold, Mississippi Grind); and quirky independent film Reynolds (Waiting…, Adventureland). There was an earlier abortive effort to launch big-budget blockbuster Reynolds with Green Lantern, the 2011 bomb that remains the target of his ridicule. "While I was obscenely privileged to star in movies, a lot of times they weren't working," he says. "That's when I said, 'I need to have some authorship here. Because I have a sense of how to do this in a way that will work.' "
Reynolds had been developing a film based on the Marvel Comics character Deadpool since 2004, and he ended up co-writing the film. "We probably pulled that thing apart and rewrote it 600 times," he says, referring to his co-writers Wernick and Rhett Reese. "Make it PG-13, back to R, back to PG-13. Add this, take away that…. It was just maddening."
As time passed, Reynolds's sense of urgency mounted. "There was no option for failure," Wernick recalls. "He was at a point in his career with Deadpool that he absolutely needed it to work. He knew this was his quote-unquote last chance."
Eventually, Reynolds convinced studio executives to allow him to shoot a few minutes of test footage. That brief glimpse of Reynolds's ribald, snarky and sly send-up of superhero tropes was leaked and became a viral sensation. Reese, who witnessed Reynolds unchained, improvising one alternate line after another, wasn't surprised. "He has the ability to take a performance and stretch it in different directions like it was made of Silly Putty," he says. "I remember getting goose bumps and thinking, Wow, we have a secret weapon of mass destruction in our hands here." Encouraged by fans, the studio greenlit Deadpool, though with a budget a fraction of the size of most superhero films. Released in 2016, the film was an instant hit and became the highest-grossing R-rated movie of all time, a record it later ceded to 2018's Deadpool 2.

"Deadpool was a dispensary of so many invaluable life lessons. The first and foremost being: Necessity is the mother of invention," Reynolds says. "We had so little to make that movie and even less to market the movie. And the character was so unconventional, so marketing it had to step outside any semblance of normalcy."
That it did, eschewing clips in favor of culturally knowing, stand-alone bits of content (e.g., a parody PSA about testicular cancer self-exams; Betty White delivering a bleeped-out review of the film). Reynolds kept a costume and did appearances in character, including one in which he gave a towel-clad Conan O'Brien a massage. He posed as Deadpool in front of a fire on a bearskin rug, aping Burt Reynolds's nude centerfold in Cosmopolitan. At Super Bowl 50 weekend in 2016, Reynolds dished out chimichangas, Deadpool's favorite food, from a taco truck.
""Everything we do is scrappy. It's fast, it's inexpensive, character over spectacle. I think that you're capable of much greater things when you're using fewer resources, you just are.""
— Ryan Reynolds
When Reynolds launched his production company, Maximum Effort, in 2018, he took the unusual step of hiring a marketing exec to run it—George Dewey, with whom he collaborated on the Deadpool campaign. It soon expanded into marketing after Reynolds became an owner of Aviation Gin and Mint Mobile. "If Ryan had a master plan all along, he did a great job of hiding it," Dewey says. "All he's trying to do is to make things that bring a little joy, fun or unexpectedness into people's lives."
While many turn their nose up at it, he sees art in commerce. "It's not a one-size-fits-all kind of thing," Reynolds says. "We love storytelling. Marketing, to a certain extent, is diet storytelling." As opposed to pitching ideas to a client, Reynolds has Maximum Effort (whose marketing side merged with the advertising software company MNTN in June) come up with an idea it loves and then look for an ideal client for it, much as a production company does. For example, Reynolds wrote a spot in which Satan falls in love with the year 2020, which he brought to Match.com. It's a model that prioritizes creativity over profit. "Everything we do is scrappy," Reynolds says. "It's fast, it's inexpensive, character over spectacle. I think that you're capable of much greater things when you're using fewer resources, you just are."

Speed and cultural savvy outweigh production value in Maximum Effort's "fastvertising," where the idea is, as Reynolds says, "move at the speed of what people are talking about." When Peloton's 2019 holiday commercial, in which a woman unexpectedly receives an exercise bike from her husband, blew up on Twitter—where it was branded sexist and out of touch—Reynolds and Maximum Effort took less than 48 hours to write, cast, shoot and upload an Aviation Gin spot starring the same woman, who toasts "new beginnings" with her girlfriends.
As integral as Reynolds's marketing efforts were to the success of Deadpool and its sequel, they may have been more so to Free Guy. The film was scheduled to come out in July 2020, then, in the face of the pandemic, was postponed multiple times. Reynolds produced some 75 pieces of original promotional content (10–15 is typical for a lead actor), whose tone evolved from escapism—the campaign launched when Donald Trump was president—to the feel-good sentiments underpinning the story of Guy, a non-player character (NPC) within a videogame who levels up to save his world. It's a heartfelt hero's journey—albeit one awash in violence, pop-cultural references and cameos. Shawn Levy had read the script in 2016 and passed, seeing it as a movie about gaming. Reynolds saw something more profound. "Ryan said, 'I'm interested in the videogame premise only as a hook. The movie I care about is an allegory for personal empowerment in a cynical world—about the yearning to step out of the background and to have agency in their own life and world,' " recalls Levy. "That's what moved me from a no to a yes almost instantly."
Reynolds's connection to Guy's story ran deep as it mirrored his own: A man aspires for more and challenges the status quo to take control of his future. The comparison isn't too ham-handed, Reynolds says, smiling: "No, it's very much the right amount of jambon. For the longest time, I was a passenger in the work I did. Then one day you say, 'What if I was maybe more than that? Is that OK?' "
Free Guy, released exclusively in theaters, has grossed more than $300 million—the only English-language original, non-franchise film to do so in 2021. The day after it opened, Reynolds tweeted that Disney had already greenlit a sequel.
After wearing so many hats on recent projects, Reynolds was excited and relieved to wear just one on Red Notice: actor. "A movie like Red Notice was a lot of fun for me," Reynolds says, "because I don't have to worry about structure or any of that other stuff. I just get to write 10 alts for every joke and have a blast." Reynolds portrays Nolan Booth, the second most wanted art thief pursued by an FBI profiler, played by Dwayne Johnson, with whom he joins forces to chase down the elusive top thief, Gal Gadot. Reynolds has been friends with Johnson for 20 years, Gadot for nearly a decade (they filmed the movie Criminal together in 2014) and the director, Rawson Marshall Thurber, for 15 years. "In a way, it was kind of like an Old Home Week, the whole movie," Reynolds says.

As the Reynolds and Gadot families formed a Covid pod on location, he would pitch jokes for her character, a more accomplished rival art thief, and rework dialogue and text with the Wonder Woman star. "He keeps everything alive and electric," she says. "His brain's always working on how to make it better, more delightful, funnier."
On the other end of the spectrum, Reynolds took on producing, writing (uncredited) and starring in The Adam Project. Although the movie takes audiences on a laugh-filled adventure, it took Reynolds "to a place that I was never expecting I would ever go in a movie." The high-concept time-travel film forced him to reflect on his father and his own mythmaking. "He was a very tough guy," Reynolds says of his late father, who died of Parkinson's disease in 2015. "He had kind of an Archie Bunker kind of mentality about him, which for me, as an incredibly sensitive kid, was tough. But at the end of the day, I think I put the monster makeup on him, and I don't know that that was fair. These stories that we tell ourselves—we can fictionalize memories to fit our own narrative. Like, 'I'm a funny guy because my dad was an a—hole.' But that's not true. I'm not funny."
""While I was obscenely privileged to star in movies, a lot of times they weren't working. That's when I said, 'I need to have some authorship here. Because I have a sense of how to do this in a way that will work.'""
While Reynolds says he'd be thrilled to "pull a Betty White" and tell naughty jokes into his 90s, he's not counting on it. "I will not be a movie star at some point," he says. That thinking informs his planning for the Group Effort Initiative, a diversity and inclusion program funded out of Reynolds's salary that gives BIPOC and other marginalized people, who have been historically underrepresented in the entertainment industry, tangible work experience on his upcoming productions. "Right now, I'm in a position of unspeakable privilege, where I can enact something like this. At some point, I will not be," Reynolds says. "So the hope is that you're creating a template so that it becomes sustainable." After he introduced the initiative on The Adam Project, several studios and networks adopted the model.
Reynolds is also determined to push himself in unexpected directions. He's spent eight months in song-and-dance camp for Spirited, whose choreographed musical numbers require more rehearsal and precision than any action sequence he's shot. He's already cooking up concepts for a sequel to Free Guy and puzzling out how to make his star-making superhero mask fresh again in Deadpool 3. Then there's the FX docuseries Welcome to Wrexham, which is currently shooting.
"All he's trying to do is to make things that bring a little joy, fun or unexpectedness into people's lives," says George Dewey, who works with Reynolds (pictured with his dog, Boots) as president of Maximum Effort and chief brand officer at MNTN.

Beyond what's imminent, Reynolds is hesitant to speculate. "The future is going to be…. Look at this!" Reynolds says, as his youngest daughter pushes through the door, saying "Hi, Dada."
Following the toddler into the room is Lively, dressed in designer sweats and a chambray shirt. "She was begging to see you," she says to Reynolds, "and she's about to go to bed."
Indeed, the light is fading, but Reynolds seems energized, picking up his daughter and nuzzling her as she pushes on his nose. "The future?" Reynolds continues after a moment. "I'm going to put this one to bed. Then when I put myself to bed, I'll lie awake."

Performer Cyon Flare is on fire
by Tony Peregrin
This article shared 4832 times since Mon Mar 1, 2010
Robert Cyon Flare is famous for setting the hearts of Boystown bar patrons aflame ( pun intended ) with an infectious, positive energy and vibrant, Technicolor costumes.
In fact, the appeal of Flare ( whose entertainment persona shuns the first name ) actually shines far beyond Lakeview, fueled mainly by two Billboard-charting dance hits: In 2008, "Everybody, Everybody," hit number 31 and, just a year later, "Rise" rose to number 36 on the charts.
In his first interview with Windy City Times, Flare, 39, a resident of Lakeview, revealed what it's like to walk into Sidetrack "out of paint," how Cyon Flare has become something of a nightclub therapist and why he's not a fan of RuPaul's Drag Race.
Windy City Times: Do you identify yourself as a drag queen or a performance artist?
Robert Cyon Flare: I live and breathe my feathers every day. It's not as if there is one box for "Robert" and one for "Cyon!" Just look at how I sign my e-mails: Robert Cyon Flare. To put it simply, Robert/Cyon is not a separate being, but wholly one soul, one mind. We, being gay, for whatever reason, have clung to the word "drag," but it is all art. At its essence, what I do is so artistic, but everyone does it to a certain extent. When you get up in the morning and get ready for work, you ask yourself, 'what am I going to wear to work today, am I feeling this blue shirt or this white one?' And that's what I do, but I just take it a few steps further. [ Laughs ]
WCT: You are known for your vibrant, outrageous costumes. How do you select what you are going to wear each night?
Robert Cyon Flare: Every time I go to bed and every afternoon when I wake up—and this is the truth, Tony—the first thing I think about is, how am I feeling, and how am I going to pull something together?' Over the years, I've become very aware that when you dress yourself, based on how you are feeling—other people will feel it, and that sort of guides my process. But my favorite color is blue.
WCT: It's no surprise, then, that the color blue was the inspiration for your stage name!
Robert Cyon Flare: I researched the color blue and found "cyan," which is a bluish- green. However, I wanted it to be spelled with an "O" and pronounced like "scion," as in "an heir or a descendant." "Flare" comes from solar flare, which is associated with the sun. This flare is what helps to nourish all life on our planet, and it is where we get our energy to light up our nights. I wanted a name that didn't mean "male" or "female," but something that represented the soul energy that is within us all.
WCT: What was the inspiration behind your famed Mickey Glitter balls headpiece—perhaps your most recognized costume?
Robert Cyon Flare: People respond to the Mickey glitter balls with such affection, I can't even begin to describe to you the kind of reaction I continue to get when I wear them! Actually, Tony, I made the headpiece for selfish reasons. Let me backtrack for a second: One thing you should know about me is that I believe in getting what you truly want—and I have always wanted to work at Gay Disney. I don't necessarily love the character of Mickey Mouse per se, as much as I love Disney World and the whole concept of family and joy and wonderment. So, I made the headpiece for myself, because I knew that some day I would be a part of Gay Disney, somehow, someway. In 2008, I flew to Orlando and I was staying at the Parliament House, and I went, out of paint, to the Gay Days management office with my press kit in hand, and I knocked on the door. I spoke to someone in the office, gave them the materials, and don't you know two days later I got the call to be a part of Gay Days at Disney!
WCT: Who have been your biggest influences?
Robert Cyon Flare: Sylvester, Boy George and RuPaul have been big influences on me, in that order.
WCT: It sounds like you might be a big fan of RuPaul's Drag Race?
Robert Cyon Flare: You know, Tony, I watched RuPaul's Drag Race for Jade and for Nina Flowers. I actually knew Jade before the show; he's an amazing dancer and has a gorgeous and sweet spirit, and I was rooting for both of them. But I have to tell you that I am not what you would call a fan of the show. I have an issue when someone is over you and telling you that you are not good enough. As a young performer or drag queen, someone could walk away from the show thinking that they have to look a certain way or act a certain way in order to be fierce or in order to be successful—and that's simply not true.
WCT: Tell me something about Robert Cyon Flare that might surprise people?
Robert Cyon Flare: I do a lot of listening, Tony, when I am out. It's interesting because people feel a certain level of comfort with you and they will share with you their day or their week, or they will tell you someone in their family has died or that they have just discovered their boyfriend or their girlfriend is cheating on them.
Now, my purpose, my goal, is to be a host and an entertainer, of course, I'm not a counselor, but I can be because I am open to people. Every night someone comes up to me and tells me about a broken heart, or that they are having relationship problems—every night! I remember there was a bachelorette group in the bar, and one of the girls came up to me and said the bride was crying and that she could not stop. I didn't know what I could possibly say to this person, but I went over to her, gave her a hug, took off my wig and put it on her head. People started taking pictures of her and, before you know it, she was fine!
WCT: Are some people seemingly freaked out by your appearance?
Robert Cyon Flare: You know, Tony, I don't approach everybody, because different people are in the club for different reasons. Some people are freaked out by the way I look! Some drag queens are known for embarrassing people, but I don't do that. I will never say anything embarrassing to people in the club that I do not know.
WCT: Do people recognize you when, as you say, you are not "in paint?"
Robert Cyon Flare: I go out when I'm not in paint, sure. I love going to Showtunes at Sidetrack on Sunday. It's funny because some guys who are really nice to me when I see them on Friday night are bitches when I approach them on Sunday! I usually just smile, and tell them I am Cyon Flare, and that I was the one that they were huggin' and kissin' and taking pictures with earlier in the weekend and they usually go "Ooooh, Okay!"
WCT: Are you dating anyone?
Robert Cyon Flare: I haven't dated anyone in six years. I haven't met what I would consider "the one" for me. I'm not gonna give you a list of what I am looking for in a guy; I won't go there [ laughs ] , but I will tell you that I believe it is all about timing. You know, I tell guys in the bar all the time that they hot and, because of that, I think the biggest misconception about me is that I am some love-hungry, love-starved individual. But, you see, when I tell guys that I find them attractive, it doesn't mean that I want to date them! Look, I am fine with myself, from the time I get up to the time I go to bed. I am fine with who I am, so I have no problem telling others how I feel about them—but I am not some love-starved drag queen!
WCT: You are obviously very comfortable in your own skin, Cyon. Did your upbringing have any influence on who you are today?
Robert Cyon Flare: Well, my mom, Ida, is gay. She came out when I was around four years old. I think she had just grown tired of living a lie. I have multiple siblings, some with different fathers … and then one day I noticed that there were no men coming over anymore and, the next day, I noticed that women were coming over. For me, I didn't really notice anything different. I believe I had a normal life growing up, I had the same growing pains that everybody else had. For me, the shock wasn't my family's reaction to my mom, because they were very accepting of her. What was shocking to me was the outside world, and how they reacted to her. You have to remember this was in the '70s in Detroit, so that was a very different time. I came out to her when I was 13. She said she knew, probably because I was walking around in cha-cha heels by the time I was 5 years old!
WCT: You've had two songs on Billboard's dance charts: "Everybody, Everybody" and "Rise." Talk about your newest release, "Fire."
Robert Cyon Flare: I worked with a new producer on this track, DJ Dealer, who is a Chicago house DJ. The song is about what music does to you. It's about the beat, which is like fire shut up in your bones. I took that concept from church, when the preacher always used to say, "The spirit of the Lord is shut up in your bones," and I translated it to music. It's a basic house beat, and not as techno as the other two tracks. I love it! We're working on the video for it now.
WCT: You've conquered the dance charts and the local nightlife scene, Cyon. What's next for you?
Robert Cyon Flare: You know, Tony, I really wish that all those who bring light to our community nightlife would work together more often— since we all have a common goal to entertain the community and make them feel happy. Separately, Circuit Mom, Ms. Foozie, Frida Olay, Ms. Kitty, Veronica, Sal-E, Jo Jo Baby [ and ] Bobby Pins are amazing at what they do! But I want to see all of us come together for an event where we all use our energy and charisma to raise money and consciousness, for HIV/AIDS; or for the homelessness; or for youth and equality issues. Can you imagine how powerful that would be? I'm calling out to you ladies. Let's come together and make some big magic for our community as a fierce Chicago force!

Come behind the scenes and into the jobs, the challenges, the highlights, and the personalities of the people who work at the Department of Conservation (DOC). Today we profile Jamin Barkley, Orange Fronted Parakeet Ranger, Operations (Temp) in Rangiora.
On Wednesday 19th December 12 orange-fronted parakeets/kākāriki karaka (9 males and 3 females) were released on Tuhua/Mayor Island. The orange-fronted parakeets were bred at the Captive Unit at Peacock Springs, by the Isaacs Wildlife Trust in Christchurch.
Air New Zealand came on board to help fly the parakeets from Christchurch to Rotorua where a helicopter piloted by Glenn Olliff from Oceana Helicopters Ltd, Tauranga then took the orange-fronted parakeets directly to Tuhua where they were released by Tauranga sponsor Fauna Recovery New Zealand.
The birds were all caught by 11am at Peacock Springs and all safely placed into their travelling boxes. Their flight left Christchurch Airport at 12.30pm, and on arrival at Rotorua VIP treatment from Air New Zealand whisked them direct to the waiting helicopter; a big thanks to Air New Zealand for the great treatment afforded to these critically endangered parakeets.
The helicopter left Rotorua and the parakeets were released onto the island by 3.30pm, in very sunny and hot conditions. They were released near the Green Lake in the caldera (Tuhua is a volcano) and all flew off fine. They were released in the same area as all other previous releases.
A grateful thanks must go to all those who helped with another successful transfer of orange-fronted parakeet completed. 83 orange-fronted parakeets have now been released onto Tuhua, over 8 releases since December 2009.

The Fault and Our Stars
by Amy Nicholson
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Carla Gugino. Photo by Jasin Boland.
The San Andreas fault stretches 810 miles up the Pacific coast, roughly the length of a dozen Dwayne "The Rock" Johnsons lying end to end. When it rumbles, we'll need all twelve of him to spring into action — although, as Brad Peyton's San Andreas warns, that still won't be enough to save the day.
Disaster films offer the thrill of an impossible enemy. There's no hope of a hero who can stop the shaking, soothe the tsunamis, and snuff the fires, not even the 260-pound Johnson, who here rips off a car door with his bare hands. No, these events could happen, and these flicks let us grapple with chaos for 90 minutes and emerged unscathed, like submissives gleefully cowering under a black leather boot.
Johnson plays a first responder named Ray, a divorcing father of two who lost one of his daughters to a rafting accident, and his wife Emma (Carla Gugino) to his inability to open up about that pain. His surviving child, Blake (Alexandra Daddario), is leaving Los Angeles for college, and Ray is unmanned to hand her over to British architect Daniel (Ioan Gruffudd), Blake's stepdad-to-be, whose private plane will fly her to her school in Seattle, with just a brief stop to visit Blake's new skyscraper in San Francisco. What could go wrong?
Everything, of course. You would know even if you ignored the title and trailer, as the film is thick with doom. In the opening shot, Peyton pans over Los Angeles like he can't wait for the apocalypse — even the font identifying it as the San Fernando Valley is a war-blasted, gun-metal gray. Minutes later, a Caltech geology teacher (Paul Giamatti) assures himself a failing score on RateMyProfessor when he scares his classroom that the likelihood of a 9.4+ earthquake hitting the city isn't "a matter of if, but when." For a kicker, he adds that it's a century overdue.
San Andreas can't wait for the carnage. The problem is, it's too chicken to ask us to comprehend it. It's all big, distant, unfathomable wreckage — all shattering skyscrapers and rippling cityscapes — with no sense of the human cost. Even Gareth Edwards's Godzilla knew to zoom in on a desperate dog once in a while. And Roland Emmerich's unfairly maligned 2012 understood that its story was a tragedy. Emmerich gave us truly awesome images — a battleship smashing into the White House — and added gravitas and grief. He was willing to let characters die, so that we knew that all his staggering visuals came at a price. But San Andreas wants the applause without the tears, offering no emotional impact, just cool shots of streets splintering apart.
Our CG blockbusters have sanitized death as something sad and vague that happens to people without faces. In San Andreas, victims don't die, they simply trudge by like doomed zombies and disappear into the margins as the camera charges after Johnson and Gugino, racing toward San Francisco to save their daughter. The film never doubts that Ray and Emma (or, really, just Ray) can find Blake in a city without cell service and swoop her up out of the flood. But Johnson is the wrong type of hero for a film like this. In the face of consuming disaster, we don't need a superhuman jock. We need an average man or woman, someone who looks like us, just doing what he or she can.
Peyton keeps the film so focused on Ray's family that San Andreas begins to feel callous. Unlike Steven Spielberg's War of the Worlds, a movie with the courage to ask if selfishness in a disaster could ever be morally excused, Peyton's film isn't trying to make us think. Instead, it takes for granted that Ray's concerns are our concerns. But when 8 million people could be dead, who cares about this guy's divorce? Though he's a rescue expert, Ray rarely bothers to help strangers. In one scene, he deliberately ignores two stranded grandparents on the side of a freeway until he realizes that the road ahead is blocked. Forced to turn around, he apologizes. In return, they offer him a plane. In another, Ray and Emma blast through the streets of San Francisco on a speedboat screaming out for Blake, past another boat whose passengers are trying to pull people aboard. We're meant to cheer, but what about the civilians chopped up underneath them? Who are the real heroes?

Skillern, Stephen
Submitted by edpope on Fri, 05/03/2019 - 16:53
see Autobiography of Francis Place ed. Mary Thale p.87. There spelt Skillem but this may have been a transcription error. Perhaps a fairly common error which led to Place thinking the name was spelt and pronounced with an 'm'. Of the various friends of his father's whose lives Place believed ended in poverty (he mentioned a list of 27) eight are named on pages 87 and 88 but four of those, including Skillern, seem to have owned property at their deaths (the others were Bury, Robinson and Woollams).
Stephen Skillern tailor of Arundel Street was buried at Petersham Surrey 27.3.1797 age 51. He made his will on 4.3.1797 leaving two leasehold houses in Arundel Street and a house in Howard Street as well as legacies. One of the witnesses was William Woollams (qv). As Place noted he seems to have had no family of his own and no wife or children were mentioned in his will. He was the third son of Isaac Skillern of Winchcombe, Glos (died 1766) and his wife Ann (née Tanner) also of Winchcombe, who were married at Chipping Campden, Glos on 8.10.1733, His eldest brother William born in 1737 married in 1775 at Mathon, Worcs, Jane Solloway of that place. Their daughter Mary Ann was buried at Petersham, Surrey in 1780 and William died in 1781, a cook of Grays Inn, London. A Joseph Skillern who was probably his cousin had married in 1772 at Mathon, Worcs, Melina Solloway, probably the sister of Jane Solloway, and was thus referred to in William's will as his brother. This Joseph was the son of Joseph Skillern, salesman of Gloucester, who had gone bankrupt in 1750.. He had another son Thomas, music engraver of St Martins Lane, who married in 1773 at Petersham, Surrey an Esther Skillern, and died in 1800 mentioning no wife or children in his will. The eldest son of Joseph & Melina, Richard Solloway Skillern (1773-1836), went to Oxford and became a priest; their second son Thomas Skillern (1776-1849) was apprenticed to his uncle Thomas the music engraver and continued in that line of business as well as playing violin at concerts. The second son of Isaac Skillern of Winchcombe was isaac (1742-1805) land surveyor of Winchcombe.
In his lifetime Stephen Skillern tailor of Arundel Street voted in 1780, 1784, 1788 and 1790, insured with SunFire in 1791 and 1794, took an apprentice in 1788 and stood bail for a defendant at Middlesex Sessions in 1794. He also had a cousin Mary Skillern of White Horse Yard, Drury Lane who died in 1809 aged 60, and her will made in 1807 mentioned her brother Stephen Skillern who had a daughter, Mary Ann. I could find no other reference to this other Stephen Skillern.


Belize has a tropical climate with pronounced wet and dry seasons, although there are significant variations in weather patterns by region. Temperatures vary according to elevation, proximity to the coast, and the moderating effects of the northeast trade winds off the Caribbean. Average temperatures in the coastal regions range from 24° C in January to 27° C in July. Temperatures are slightly higher inland, except for the southern highland plateaus, such as the Mountain Pine Ridge, where it is noticeably cooler year round. Overall, the seasons are marked more by differences in humidity and rainfall than in temperature.
Hurricanes have played key--and devastating--roles in Belizean history. In 1931 an unnamed hurricane destroyed over two-thirds of the buildings in Belize City and killed more than 1,000 people. In 1955 Hurricane Janet leveled the northern town of Corozal. Only six years later, Hurricane Hattie struck the central coastal area of the country, with winds in excess of 300 kilometers per hour and four-meter storm tides. The devastation of Belize City for the second time in thirty years prompted the relocation of the capital some eighty kilometers inland to the planned city of Belmopan. The most recent hurricane to devastate Belize was Hurricane Greta, which caused more than US$25 million in damages along the southern coast in 1978.


RID is a member-driven organization. The legislation of RID comes from our founding documents, the governance of our volunteer leaders, and membership motions made at our biennial business meetings.
The organization bylaws contain the most fundamental principles and rules regarding the nature of RID, such as how directors are elected, how meetings of directors are conducted, and so on. These bylaws are amended according to member motions and referred to in every act of legislation for RID. RID also seeks partnerships with organizations that share common goals through memorandums of understanding. RID is committed to compliance with the antitrust laws of this country, which laws prohibit anti-competitive behavior, regulate unfair business practices, and encourage competition in the marketplace.The Board of Directors is currently reviewing and updating the Policies and Procedures Manual for RID.
RID's Board of Directors includes four members of the Executive Board and one representative from each of the five national Regions, totaling nine members. Within each Region, Affiliate Chapters are governed by similar structures to address local needs of the membership. Meetings for the Board of Directors are conducted in both open and closed sessions. The agendas for the open sessions can be found here. The official business of the RID Board of Directors is documented in the minutes. Board meeting minutes are important legal documents of the association and represent the actions of the board.
RID is committed to diverse and inclusive representation, to hearing and responding to the needs our our members, and to being transparent in our activities. Member motions play a large role in shifting the direction of RID's practices, as in the case of the NOLA 2015 motion that all RID publications be produced bilingually. RID is committed to following up on these resolutions and encourages member dialogue at the local and national levels. In the spirit of transparency and accountability, RID publishes an Annual Report for its members, outlining our achievements for the year, as well as an annual financial report.


It is known that prions can be transmitted through contaminated surgical instruments and, more rarely, through blood transfusions. The consumption of food products made from BSE-infected cows can also induce the disease that is responsible for the death of almost 300 people. However, prions are not generally considered to be airborne - in contrast to many viruses including influenza and chicken pox.
Prof. Adriano Aguzzi's team of scientists at the universities of Zurich and Tübingen and the University Hospital Zurich have now challenged the notion that airborne prions are innocuous. In a study, mice were housed in special inhalation chambers and exposed to aerosols containing prions. Unexpectedly, it was found that inhalation of prion-tainted aerosols induced disease with frightening efficiency. Just a single minute of exposure to the aerosols was sufficient to infect 100% of the mice, according to Prof. Aguzzi who published the findings in the Open-Access-Journal "PLoS Pathogens." The longer expo-sure lasted, the shorter the time of incubation in the recipient mice and the sooner clinical signs of a prion disease occurred. Prof. Aguzzi says the findings are entirely unexpected and appear to contra-dict the widely held view that prions are not airborne.
The prions appear to transfer from the airways and colonize the brain directly because immune system defects - known to prevent the passage of prions from the digestive tract to the brain - did not prevent infection.

Znas releases a brand new Psy-Trance/Progressive track called 'Crush!'
Znas is a chameleon when it comes to creating exceptional tracks in a variety of genres. His latest release 'Crush!' is a Psy-Trance and Progressive tune that features uplifting synths and a bright melody that instantly provides those good vibes. The driving bassline keep the party moving before a build in the track generates excitement for a drop but Znas has other ideas as the music completely cuts out into an entirely new and enticing section of music.
'Crush!' finally reaches its peak before a synthy, atmospheric drop kicks in. Znas has incorporated opposite elements that are entirely unique and yet, work in perfect harmony to make this a Trance track that truly stands out from the crowd. As 'Crush!' reverts back to its original uplifting intro the music only scratches the surface of Znas's creativity and unparalleled vision.
Znas set his sights on a career as an independent artist having worked behind the scenes as a publisher since then he has exploded on to the scene gaining quite a reputation for his outstanding musical skills and has quickly become one of his home country's most treasured talents. Other tracks in his discography include 'OO', 'Alpha Centuri Remix', and 'Ethereal' which went on to gain the support of prestigious Swedish DJ and producer StoneBridge
'Crush!' is out now on Znas' very own imprint Znas Music.
