New Releases for Tuesday, October 2, 2018
Directed by: Mark Young
The Lowdown: So, here's something that doesn't happen all too often, but you can probably relate.
Have you ever watched the trailer for a new movie and immediately felt kind of meh, as in, 'I've seen that done a few dozen times before.'
Undaunted, you still take a chance and actually watch the movie, and suddenly, you're like, 'Whoa! This is a hell of a lot better than I expected.'
That's Feral in a nutshell.
Proving that it's never wise to discount a horror movie until you've actually watched it, writer-director Mark Young's tale – a group of young 20-something campers venture out in the woods only to encounter a savage creature that's part-human and all rage – surprises at every turn with unexpected twists and a depth of character development rarely found within the genre.
In fact, once you get past the early set-up and introduction of the main players, the majority of whom are strong female archetypes, Feral rockets along with purpose, above-average practical effects and a keen eye for subtle details that consistently elevate a story you've seen countless times before.
Scout Taylor-Compton, the millennial-age scream queen of Rob Zombie's Halloween and Halloween II, surpasses expectations. And genre veteran Lew Temple provides steady support as a reclusive mountain man mourning the loss of his family who likely knows a lot more than he's letting on.
It's not often that BVB completely makes a boneheaded assumption and misjudges a fright flick, in this case what should have been a garden-variety rage-virus thriller, but boy howdy, it is refreshing to be proven wrong and wind up so thoroughly delighted and surprised.
The Stuff You Care About: Hot chicks – Yes.
Nudity – No. Gore – Considerable.
Bad Guys/Killers – Them wild 'n crazy feral kids.
Saved by the Bell: The Complete Collection (Shout! Factory, 2,790 minutes, Unrated, DVD): Bayside High fans, rejoice! The complete adventures of Zack, Slater, Kelly, Jessie, Lisa and Screech are finally available in one boxed set.
Chances are, if you grew up in the 1990's, Saved by the Bell was appointment viewing every Saturday morning. And, now, you can revisit every misunderstanding, every wacky adventure, every heartbreak and make-out sesh that defined your early teen years.
The special-edition set from Shout! Factory includes all 118 episodes from Saved by the Bell, Saved by the Bell: The College Years and Good Morning, Miss Bliss, along with two feature-length films and a bonus disc of additional materials.
Blood Fest (Cinedigm, 90 minutes, Unrated, Blu-Ray): Color me old, but I had no idea what or who Rooster Teeth Productions was prior to pressing play on Blood Fest, but now I'm game to see what else the Austin-based production company has created.
Blood Fest is the latest horror film to try and capitalize on the Extreme Haunts trend, but unlike other, similar efforts, it actually succeeds in delivering an equal measure of gore and laughs (right up until a third-act twist I predicted early on).
Dax (Robbie Kay) is just like every horror-loving high school student, except he has a dark secret: He watched his mom get slaughtered by a masked madman who broke into his home on Halloween night when he was a young boy.
Years later, Dax is all about hardcore scares, and he can barely resist the pull of Blood Fest, an annual festival celebrating blood and guts that is located deep in a forest.
Dax's dad (Tate Donovan), who killed the intruder who butchered his wife, is an expert on the traumatizing nature of horror imagery and its negative impact on young, pliable minds. He strictly forbids Dax from attending with his friends.
Guess who doesn't listen?
Dax calls a gal pal, Ashley (Barbara Dunkelman), who just landed her most high-profile acting gig to date as Topless Girl No. 4, to see about securing tickets for him and his two best friends, which includes Krill (Jacob Batalon, Spider-Man: Homecoming), the chubby, virginal comic relief.
The humor flies fast and furious early on. Ashley refuses to watch Se7en because she's never seen the first six. Dax meets his horror idol, Roger Hinckley (Chris Doubek), aka The Arborist (the deranged killer in a fictional slasher franchise that's actually quite clever), and Hinckley is a total dick (I'm looking at you Doug Bradley!).
As they begin to explore Blood Fest, which is divided into various genre-specific zones – summer camp, zombie town, Hodderton High, vampire lair, etc., the festival organizer holds center stage, preaching to the masses.
Horror, he says, has become too commonplace in a world where kids go to school with a lunchbox featuring Freddy Krueger or color in a book dedicated to Cthulhu. It's time for something dangerous. It's time for horror and reality to collide.
It's here that Blood Fest really takes off. The festival is actually the organizer's personal snuff camp. Surveillance cameras capture every inch of the festival grounds. And all of the scary paid actors are actually real, whether serial psychopaths, zombies or vampires, hired to hunt and kill and eat all of the attendees.
The only way for Dax and his friends to survive is for him to use his knowledge of how horror movies operate to outwit all of the different zones, until they find an exit.
Zombietown is pretty cool. One of the best bits is when Ashley's director becomes the first to get taken down by a horde of undead. "He's gone! He's gone!" she cries. "He was going to direct a rom-com and I was going to be the rom!"
Krill gets separated and ends up at a campfire populated by hot vampire succubi. Dax reunites with Hinckley and together they square off against a real-life version of The Arborist, which gives Hinckley a chance to say his catch-phrase from the franchise: You're about to get pruned, punk!
Blood Fest is a surprising blast, right up until its climax. Like I said, there's a twist, which anybody who has ever seen a horror movie will immediately deduce, and the film wobbles instead of sticking its landing, but it's not enough to ruin your overall enjoyment.
Tales from the Hood 2 (Universal, 111 minutes, R, Blu-Ray): Who knew that an unexpected sequel to a 23-year-old horror anthology would feel like a welcome blast of fetid air.
Tales from the Hood 2, the sequel to 1995's original, of the same name, once again introduces viewers to a trio of terrible tales, each designed to showcase and spotlight issues within the African-American community (and often, issues with white people who denounce, denigrate or otherwise discredit black culture).
The tales are presented by Portifoy Simms (Keith David, replacing Clarence Williams III in the role), who is called in by a wealthy white entrepreneur who wants his new sentient android to learn cultural appropriations from a trusted source.
If there's a reason to immediately go out and find Tales from the Hood 2, it's the first short story, which is both shocking and hilarious.
As Simms says, the first tale is about black lives matter, which is also known as, making sure the right person gets punished.
In the tale, a white cheerleader and her young black female friend visit the Museum of Negrosity, which curates and archives pieces of black Americana folk art that the museum's curator tells the girls represent a symbol of how white society has continued to enslave black residents after the Emancipation Proclamation.
Included in the collection are a sea of Golliwog dolls. For the uninitiated, the golliwog was a black character created by a white writer in the late 19th century to appear in children's books. The character later became popular as a toy rag doll, and also appeared in various marketing and advertising promotions.
True story: For years, my mother collected folk art and she herself owned a number of golliwog dolls, so I literally grew up in a house where I saw them every day.
Immediately, the white girl cheerleader wants to buy a golliwog. The curator tells her no. The girl pouts: "All the rappers say (the 'N' word) and I can't even own a cute little black doll."
The museum curator goes one step further, telling the white girl that such dolls hold the pain of 100 years of torment, and that they shouldn't be coveted.
The cheerleader and her friend leave, disappointed, but then they return later that same night with the black girl's white boyfriend, and promptly break into the museum.
And here's where shit just gets crazy.
Upon entering the museum and turning on lights, the young black woman sees an old whipping post, which was an object used by plantation owners to tie slaves to in order to be whipped and punished. The black girl and her white boyfriend start roleplaying with the whipping post, at which point it topples over, smashing the glass case holding dozens of golliwog dolls.
Guess which one is missing? Ding, ding, ding. The doll that the cheerleader wanted to buy.
At this point, Tales from the Hood 2 simply goes Ozzy Osbourne, as in the crazy train leaves the station and promptly flies off the rails. I don't want to spoil the ending as it simply needs to be experienced first-hand without any knowledge of what's to come.
It's an amazing, brazen display of both ambition and audacity, but it's also a powerful statement and indictment of current race relations in the U.S.
And, for that alone, Tales from the Hood 2 is not to be missed.
Death Race: Beyond Anarchy – Unrated & Unhinged (Universal, 111 minutes, Unrated, Blu-Ray): How many times can one studio make the same movie?
If you're Universal Pictures, and you own the rights to Roger Corman's original 1975 exploitation classic, Death Race 2000, the answer is over and over and over.
Ten years after the remake starring Jason Statham, this endurable franchise has now birthed its fourth follow-up, Death Race: Beyond Anarchy, which follows on the heels of Death Race 2 (2010), Death Race: Inferno (2013) and Death Race 2050 (2017).
Why do I care? Here's the problem: It's the same fucking movie. They just keep recycling the same damn plot, and they will continue to do so, as long as people keep paying to buy each new disc.
The only consistent change has been the lead actor. Way back 43 years ago, it was David Carradine, the epitome of cool; then Statham, the king of kick-ass; then Luke Goss, a second-tier action hero at best; then Manu Bennett, who at least looks the part; and now, in 2018, we get Zach McGowan (Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.).
BVB says enough!
Molly (Artsploitation Films, 91 minutes, PG-13, Blu-Ray): Molly, the new post-apocalyptic mash-up, looks and acts like it wants to be Turbo Kid, which is not a bad thing at all. BVB loves Turbo Kid.
The problem is with Molly's execution, which suffers throughout from slow pacing and a dearth of exposition to properly educate viewers as to what came before it to explain how the world suddenly got so fucked up. That said, Molly is a film with its heart firmly in the right place. It's creative enough to make the most of its DIY-cum-Mad Max-era set designs into something believable. And there's a nice little twist at the very end.
Fans of this genre may be enthralled; me, I wanted something a little meatier and nastier.
Afraid (Well Go USA, 125 minutes, Unrated, DVD): Alanna Masterson (The Walking Dead) headlines the new found-footage thriller, Afraid, and for many folks, that's likely enough to get them to watch.
The problem with Jason Goldberg's film, though, is that it relies on a twist that's so poorly disguised and so clearly telegraphed that it makes the effort of watching the overly-long thriller almost interminable.
In short, Afraid presents itself as an expose of cyber-stalking where an online troll creates a listing for a vacation cabin, which he then tricks out with hidden cameras everywhere, before soliciting renters, one of whom turns out to be Masterson's boyfriend, George (George Byrne).
As soon as they arrive for a weekend getaway, problems become apparent. Masterson's character is preparing to leave for a school far away from her boyfriend lives. He isn't happy. They argue, make up, have sex. All of which is captured by the hidden cameras and shown to the viewer.
Then, the troll starts hacking her phone, which viewers also get to see. It turns out Masterson's character has some side dick that George doesn't know about, which the troll immediately starts using to create issues for the squabbling lovebirds.
Here's the thing: Most found-footage movies, at least, take the opportunity to explain to the viewer how and why they are suddenly seeing images that otherwise had been lost, ie this footage was recovered by police following a grisly home invasion, etc.
There's no such disclaimer in Afraid, nor is there any attempt by Goldberg or writer Nick Kreiss to explain how the viewer is watching the events unfold. Not to mention, things happen at the speed it takes glaciers to melt, as in super slooooooooowly.
I wish there was more to recommend here that just Masterson's name value, but honestly, that's about it, and even then I don't know that it's enough to justify losing two hours of your life watching fictional humans make poor decisions again and again.

Brother Cobweb Novel
EDGAR G. ULMER'S DETOUR (1945)
Posted on August 30, 2014 by Alfred Eaker
Reviewing Edgar G Ulmer's Detour (1945), critic Dennis Schwartz wrote: "For some, being outside the system is as natural as walking in the fog." That about sums up Ulmer. It also sums his Detour star, Tom Neal. Ulmer was an aesthetic outsider who made poor choices in his personal life but tried, sometimes in vain, to bring an artistic sensibility to everything he worked on. Neal was an outsider of a different sort. Despite having received a law degree from Havard, Neal turned to amateur boxing, which only partly satisfied his extremely violent temper. In 1951, that temper and jealousy got the better of him with in a tussle with actor Franchot Tone over the affections of actress Barbara Payton. Tone received a brain concussion, and Neal was permanently blacklisted by Hollywood. The actor was reduced to restaurant work and eventual bankruptcy. In 1965, Neal took a gun to the back of his wife's head and shot her to death. Incredibly, he received a mere six-year sentence, but he died within a few months of his release from prison in 1971. His son, Tom Neal, Jr. attempted to follow in his father's thespian footsteps, appearing in a remake of Detour (1991) that no one seems to have seen.
Shot on the quick and cheaply, Detour defies the rules of Poverty Row aesthetics. In his review of Ulmer's Detour, critic Roger Ebert acknowledges the film's flaws: "Detour is a film so filled with imperfections that it would not earn the director a passing grade in film school." And yet it is greater than the sum of it's parts, defying the "aesthetics only" art school rule. Ebert adds, " Yet, Detour lives on, haunting and creepy, an embodiment of the guilty soul of film noir."
The pessimism of Detour drips into the nitrate of Ulmer's bubblegum Shakespearean saga. Al (Neal) is a pianist who prostitutes his art in dives. Ulmer symbolizes this in idiosyncratic fashion by Al's transformation of a Brahms piano piece into a grotesque, possessed, populist parody. Picasso once said that all art, regardless of subject, is self-portrait. Al eerily mirrors Ulmer in the portrait of a highly cultured artist who is reduced to a career gutter through his own missteps. It is little wonder that Detour was Ulmer's favorite of his own films.
Fate is an ambivalent, malevolent force relentlessly and unjustly dogging Al. He responds with self-pity tightly wrapped in ten cent philosophy. Al, like Bluebeard, is waxing bitter over a woman. His curse is to be in love with the ambitious Sue (Claudia Drake). Sue's dreams of a successful Hollywood career provoke jealousy within Al and serves as a biting reminder of his own failed career. She departs and settles, albeit uncomfortably, in the land of opportunity. Although destitute, Al vows reconciliation and embarks upon a thumbed journey to his Sue. Through flashbacks and crackerjack narration, we learn of Fate's plans for Al. Al, already convinced of his own failure, goes out of the way to accommodate his self-willed, doomed destiny.
A guardian angel named Haskell (Edmund McDonald) drops down like heavenly manna. Alas, the devil triumphs through deception. Haskell, desiring company, offers to take Al all the way to Santa Anita. However, Haskell unexpectedly dies of a heart attack. In a memorably surreal scene, Haskell's death sends Al into a state of panic and leads to a bizarre, poor choice. Rather than call the police, Al hides Haskell's body and steals his car, money, and identity.
Al picks up Fate herself in the guise of a ferociously crass femme fatale with the perfectly trashy name of Vera (Ann Savage). Vera unleashes a noir apocalypse upon Al's fragile world. Savage's performance is unprecedented in the annuls of film noir. Comparatively, Angelina Jolie is a spayed kitten. It is relatively easy to sympathize with Al's masochistic impotence.
Yet, the tragic twist of fate and desolate finale are projected fantasies. Detour received little notice upon its release, but within five years, it started to attain cult status. The old maxim of life imitating art holds true to much regarding Detour. Like Al, Neal became stained with the mark of Cain. Savage died in obscurity. And despite the relatively quick cult status awarded Detour, it did nothing to help Ulmer's career. It simply wasn't in the deck of cards Fate dealt this Poverty Row director.

Shi'i Ithnasheri Community of Middlesex (SICM)
The organisation is known as Shi'i Ithnasheri Community of Middlesex (SICM) and its centre in North Harrow is known as Mehfil-e-Ali. SICM also has a registered charity operating under the name of Battlers Well Foundation (BWF).
The origins of SICM can be traced to the arrival in the UK of a number of students from East Africa in the mid sixties. Soon, These students got aquainted with other Shi'i students from Pakistan, India, Iran, Iraq and Gulf countries.
There was already a resident Pakistani community and the students participated enthusiastically in organisations like the Idara-e-Ja'aferiyya. In the universities and colleges the Shi'i students formed an organisation called the Muslim Youth Association (MYA).
These activities resulted in the formation of close bonds between Shi'i students and communities from all over the world. The small community of Khoja Shi'is from East Africa had an organisation called the East African Union, but for religious functions particiapted with the Muslim Youth Association or theIdara-e-Ja'aferiyya.
With the events in East Africa forcing many families to leave their countries and settle in the UK, the early seventies saw a large influx of people into the UK. Many of the East African Muslim students also stayed on in the UK on a more or less permanent basis.
As the needs for holding religious and other community functions became more regular and the community became larger, the requirement for "permanent" places became urgent. SICM was one of the many organisations which was established to meet this growing need.
The Founding of SICM
With a sizeable settled community in Middlesex, there emerged the practice of having regular Iftar in Ramadhan, initially in individual houses and later in hired halls in the vicinity of Harrow. There were already over 100 Shi'i Muslim families living within 2/3 miles of the centre of Harrow and the gatherings were well attended.
Gradually, the activities evolved and an organisation called the Shi'i Ithnasheri Community of Middlesex (SICM) was formed to provide an institutional framework for arranging the meetings and gatnerings. In addition to Ramadhan, gatherings began to be held on every Friday evening and on the occasion of the birth or death anniversry of the a'aimmas. Local community/assembly halls were hired for this purpose.
For the last twenty years on every Friday evening SICM has had a meeting in which a wide variety of issues relating to Islam and the Muslim World have been discussed. Learned and competent people from all walks of life have contributed to the discussions on many occassions.
SICM, after a long process of lobbying of the local authority was able to secure the rental of the West Harrow school premises on a 12 monthly basis. With the rental of premises, the activities increased manifold. In addition to regular Friday functions, SICM started daily Qur'an classes for young children, daily evening congregational prayer (salaat), morning salaat on weekends, regular sports sessions and many other specialised meetings and seminars. There was a major seminar on the Nahj al Balagah and one on the Concept of Vilayat-e-Faqih. Mohurrum majalis were also held for the first time.
As the rental of the West Harrow school came up for renewal SICM was fortunate enough to persuade the Harrow borough to let the North Harrow Assembly Hall (NHAH) to the organisation. The NHAH was by then under the threat of closure because of cuts in local authority budgets. As expected within a year the Hall came up for sale. SICM, with the help of its Councillors, well wishers, and supporting bankers was able to acquire the Hall as its permanent worship, meeting and gathering place.
Inside North Harrow Assembly Hall
With the purchase of the premises, the activities of SICM have become much more consistent. Presently the following are regularly held:
• Friday programme, many times with prominent guests
• Occasional seminars and other programmes
• Iftar, Childrens' programme and Qur'an reading daily in Ramadhan
• Dua-e-Qumayl on Thursday evenings
• Majalis in English in Mohurrum and on birth and death anniversaries of Ma'asumin
• Weekly sports club at a local leisure centre
• Sports session for children on weekends
• Eid Prayers
• Gatherings by other Muslim organisations
In addition, SICM through the Battlers Well Foundation (BWF) has also secured a vital facility. A dedicated graveyard with over three hundred burial spaces has been secured at the Woodcock Hill Cemetry in Harefield. Already the cemetry houses about a 100 graves and efforts are in process to increase the land bank.
The BWF had also made plans to establish a Muslim school in Harefield and a 34 acre plot of land was secured at the Battlers Well Farm in Northwood. However, the more accomodating environment for Muslims in schools in the UK has led to the abandonment of the project for the foreseeable future.
The SICM centre is now well established. The main hall has recently been extensively refurbished and plans are in process to complete the refurbishment of the whole site during the course of 1998, inshallah. It is intended to incorporate the following activities:
• Library and information centre for Muslims and those seeking sources on Islam
• Internet access provision for the community
• Gusalkhana for the community
• Educational coaching classes
• Develop linkages with other Muslim communities and organisations
• Quaterly seminars on issues of relevance to the Muslim World
Throughout its 25 years of activity SICM has remained true to its objectives of bringing a diverse group of Shi'is together and also develop mutually re-inforcing and respectful relations with the Muslim community at large. This will continue to be its mission as it develops its activities further and becomes a focal point for Muslims in the North West of London.

The Real Estate sector continued to dominate the list of companies within 5% of new highs, accounting for 20 out of the total 65, representing 43% of the sector.
This week cyclical stocks including Industrials, Consumer Discretionary and Financials lead the performance table, while Consumer Services, Materials and Information Technology were more muted.
The bounce in cyclical stocks, lead by the big banks but followed closely by the large Industrials including Building Products and Construction and Engineering industries as well as a host of bellwether consumer companies provided an exciting backdrop for the week.
We know that the stock market can represent a reliable leading indicator of the strength of the economy, in which case strong performance by crucial cyclical companies could herald a turning point, or it could just be a bounce within a continuing downtrend.
The big banks rose sharply following the release of the Royal Commission final report and resulted in the Financials sector as a whole logging its most active week since June 2018. The sector has been in what can only be described as a long term trading range with the high established in March 2015 and lows in February 2016, which were tested in December 2018.
The monthly chart shows the long-term trading range most clearly. Within this larger trading range, there have been numerous smaller ranges as the sector has struggled to establish a trend one way or the other.
The banks all but dominate the sector and the sector itself has significant influence over the direction of the overall index and the Australian economy in general.
CBA has threatened on numerous occasions in the last few weeks and months to break and hold below the February 2016 lows, which would potentially portend the beginning of a downtrend in the Australian economy. So far, each dip below support has been met with buying strong enough to push it back into the trading range, however with continually lower lows and lower highs since the last short term peak in April 2017, it would appear as if the CBA is still in the throws of a downtrend.
A move above $76 and back into the long-term trading range would be positive. However, this chart is far from looking healthy and still looks very much like a distribution with last week providing a last point of supply following the weakness of November and December 2018.
The chart of NAB looks very similar to that of CBA. The stock has been in a downtrend since the last short term peak in April 2017. Long term support was established in February 2016 which was broken in November and December 2018.
The release of the Royal Commission final report which resulted in the resignation of the CEO and Chairman accompanied a move by the stock back into the long-term trading range. However, this might again be short-lived. A move back to the top of the downtrending channel would not be unexpected before sellers again begin to provide supply and demand weakens.
WBCs chart looks worse than the other banks, with the stock trading well below February 2016 support in October 2018 and failing to make its way back into the trading range on the release of the RC final report. WBC has been in a clear downtrend since October 2017 and has yet to show any signs of strength. The massive volume during the week of December 17, 2018, could have provided a stopping action; however, this remains to be seen.
ANZ has not moved below the support level established in February 2016. While this is a more positive picture than those provided by the charts of the other large banks, no clear direction has been established, and a test of December 2018 lows are likely.
The All Ordinaries index is now back above its 200 DMA, which is a positive sign. However, the move last week was triggered mainly by the release of the Royal Commission final report, and it will be interesting to see whether the gains can be held and consolidated.
The fact that cyclical stocks lead the charge was constructive, however taking a closer look at these stocks reveals many in long-term trading ranges and therefore no real clues as to timing or direction of likely medium/ long-term trends. CBA also released H1 earnings during the week which showed an economy still doing well, however with risk to the downside.

Thread: OC: WCC Baseball Coaches Break With Tradition!
The WCC baseball coaches have voted GU's Mark Machtolf coach of the year. This breaks an impressive string of the WCC rewarding mediocrity (or engaging in nostalgia, see Jim Sollars) in handing out coach of the year awards.
SAN BRUNO, Calif. (May 20, 2009 – www.gozags.com) – The West Coast Conference announced Wednesday that Gonzaga University head coach Mark Machtolf has been named the WCC Coach of the Year and Matt Fields has been named the WCC Pitcher of the Year. Along with Fields, Anthony Synegal, Ryan Wiegand and Tyson Van Winkle were each placed on the All-WCC team while Steven Ames received All-WCC honorable mention.
Machtolf, in his sixth season as head coach and 19th season overall at GU, receives his first career Coach of the Year honor after leading the Bulldogs to their inaugural WCC regular season title. This year's squad posted wins against No. 10 University of Missouri twice, No. 26 Pepperdine University twice and against No. 21 University of San Diego twice while posting series wins in all but one WCC series. The Bulldogs also reached the 30-win plateau for the third consecutive season, marking the first time that has happened at Gonzaga in over 25 years. Machtolf also had the Zags earn their first national ranking since 2006, earning a No. 22 ranking by Baseball America in mid-April. He enters this weekend's WCC Championship Series with second highest winning percentage (.557) and third highest win total in school history (177).
Fields becomes the second Bulldog ever to earn WCC Pitcher of the Year after Clayton Mortensen took home the award in 2007. Fields compiled a 7-1 overall record in the regular season and a 5-0 mark in WCC play. He also finished the regular season second in both overall ERA (2.85) and in conference games only ERA (2.81). The Zags Friday night starter also led the team with 66 strikeouts and recorded two WCC/Rawlings Pitcher of the Week awards during the season. Fields was also placed on the All-WCC team to notch his second career All-WCC honor after earning All-WCC honorable mention last season.
Wiegand picks up his second career All-WCC honor after earning first team honors his sophomore season. The San Diego, Calif. led the team with 53 RBI, marking the second straight season he has driven in 50 or more runs. In his final season as a Zag, he became the school's all-time leader in hits, doubles and RBI, recorded back-to-back WCC/Rawlings Player of the Week awards and ended the regular season with a .320 batting average, 21 doubles and three home runs.
Synegal and Van Winkle both enjoyed breakout years to each record their first career All-WCC honor. Synegal slugged all six of his home runs during WCC play, the second most in the WCC, and finished the regular season with a .323 average and 31 RBI. Van Winkle led the Bulldog offense throughout the season, posting a WCC-high 23 doubles, a team-high .361 average and team second-best 51 RBI. He was a two-time WCC/Rawlings Player of the Week award winner and finished among the leaders in the WCC in average, slugging, on-base percentage, hits, doubles, and RBI all while starting every game behind the plate for the Zags.
Ames earned All-WCC honorable mention honors after matching Fields with a 7-1 record and leading the team with two complete games. His best performance came in the Zags series clinching win over No. 21 USD, striking out 10 in a complete-game victory and again going the distance to close out a sweep of Santa Clara University Apr. 26. Ames posted a team-high 80.2 innings with a 3.79 ERA in his first season for the Zags.

Congrats to Mark! He is a great guy who truly deserves this recognition. I am very happy for his success.


Featured: Chrome Mobile to Leave Beta in Matter of Weeks; Bring Improvements and Polish?
There's a many a browser available for Android, the ability to swap and change whenever you like is one of its main strengths. For many of us - increasingly so, with tablets on the rise - the web browser is where we spend most of our time on our mobile devices. Sure, there's lots of apps for varied web services, Google+ has an app, Dropbox has an app, lots of websites have apps in the Play Store, too. However, the web browser is still king and still works a lot better than many of them and is a lot more predictable - the settings for your browser apply for every site etc.
Back in Febuary Google released the first beta of its Chrome browser for mobile into the Play Store and it was well received for the most part. To be able to sync tabs across all devices running Chrome is a really nice feature. One that I use often - I'll start reading a lengthy article at my desk and I'll finish it on my tablet on the sofa or in bed. The same goes for my phone, I can pick up an article or forum thread that's open on my desktop anywhere I have data.
However good an app is there's always foibles here and there, you still can't download files as I'm aware and at first you were stuck with only being able to view mobile sites a little pointless with a desktop-class browser, no? Issues are continuing to be fixed in updates to the browser over the course of the year and it's only gotten better if you ask me.
"Is that Chrome, on your phone?"
That sends the message 'I love Chrome, if I get an Android phone I can run it on that, brilliant'. Not only that, but one more killer app in Android's arsenal certainly can't be a bad thing now can it?

'normal' individuals, but that is not the case.'(Sharp, 18:3) It is believed that the computer criminal 'often marches to the same drum as the potential victim but follows and unanticipated path.'(Blumenthal, 1:2) There is no actual profile of a computer criminal because they range from young teens to elders, from black to white, from short to tall.

This assignment was worth its mark, it had a clear structure with all the information present.
Nice informative essay on computer crime. Some errors in grammar and spelling. One thing I didn't really like was the extensive use of quotes. I would say about 50% of the essay came from quotes. As far as I know, that is not acceptable. Overall, nice informative essay.

Turkey ramps up US spat with huge tariffs on cars and other goods
Posted: 4:03 AM, Aug 15, 2018

<p>People walk on the street outside a phone store on August 14, 2018 in Istanbul, Turkey. </p>
Turkey on Wednesday intensified its clash with the United States, announcing heavy new tariffs on some American products including cars, alcohol and tobacco.
Turkish Vice President Fuat Oktay said on Twitter that the measures were in response to "the deliberate attack of the US administration on our economy."
The Turkish government has doubled its retaliatory tariffs on American cars to 120 percent and on alcoholic drinks to 140 percent, according to a notice published Wednesday. Other affected products include fruit, coal, makeup and rice.
Relations between Washington and Ankara have rapidly soured in recent weeks over Turkey's detention of the American pastor Andrew Brunson.
The Trump administration announced plans last week to double US tariffs imports of steel and aluminum from Turkey. On Wednesday, a Turkish court rejected a second appeal to release Brunson.
The political spat with Washington has added to pressure on Turkey's currency, the lira, which has plunged against the dollar.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has accused the United States of stabbing Turkey in the back and on Tuesday called for a boycott of US electronics products.
In June, Turkey imposed a first wave of tariffs on US exports, worth a total of $1.8 billion, in retaliation for President Donald Trump's initial tariffs on steel aluminum. The products targeted Wednesday are the same as in June.
"Turkey is not in favor of an economic war, but we cannot remain with no reaction if there is an attack on us," Ibrahim Kalin, a Turkish presidential spokesman, said Wednesday.
The amount of products affected by the tariffs the two countries have imposed on one another are a relatively small part of the $19 billion of goods they traded last year, according to US data.
The lira strengthened for a second consecutive trading session on Wednesday, with gains for the day reaching 6% in morning trade in Europe. The currency is still down more than 35% against the dollar in 2018.
The diplomatic dispute with the United States is just one of the factors that has hammered the Turkish currency.
Investors have also been unnerved in recent weeks by a lack of action by the Turkish central bank, which shocked markets last month when it declined to hike interest rates in the face of rampant inflation.
Critics said the decision smacked of interference by Erdogan, who indicated during the recent presidential campaign that he wanted more control over central bank policy and described interest rates as "the mother and father of all evil."
Although Erdogan says he opposed interest rate hikes, he has not made a clear argument for why Turkey's central bank should keep rates low.
The central bank announced a handful of marginal measures designed to reassure investors on Monday. But analysts are calling on the central bank to deploy much more of its firepower.
One dollar bought just seven lira at one point this week, compared with fewer than four at the start of the year.
"No matter how much money we make it finishes because the prices are going up. Fruit and vegetable prices are going up," said Sevim Pektas, a housewife, told CNN this week. "I do not understand how retired people or people earning minimum wage can afford their rent."

Has the Syrian opposition lost the war?
Journalist Patrick Cockburn and Syrian American Council adviser Mohammed Ghanem offer differing views on the Syrian war.
23 Sep 2017 11:00 GMT Syria's Civil War, Bashar al-Assad, Middle East
After repeated attempts to topple Syrian President Bashar al-Assad over the last six years and the latest setbacks, the opposition may not only be losing the war but also losing support on the international stage.
The US appears to no longer be focused on removing Assad from power, and the UN's special envoy to Syria said that if the opposition was planning to win the war, "facts are proving that is not the case."
So, after many initial successes, how did it all go wrong? And was it a mistake for outside powers to back the various groups in the Syrian opposition to Assad?
In this week's Arena, veteran Middle East correspondent for The Independent, Patrick Cockburn, and Mohammed Alaa Ghanem, a policy adviser to the Syrian American Council, debate whether the Syrian opposition has lost the fight against Assad or whether they are still a force in play. Patrick Cockburn's latest book is The Age of Jihad.

This very colorful root beer label features the famous tower from Somerville, Massachusetts. The label measures 4.3" Wide x 3.4" High, is in mint condition, and dates to probably 1970.
There is an interesting story about the company name. Domenick, Giuseppe and Felice Cusolito founded Prospect Hill Bottling and Soda Water Co. in 1914. When Domenick went to register his new company, which would be producing Prospect Hill Ginger Ale, the Clerk at the Secretary of State's office suggested that they use a shorter name and asked, "Isn't that where the Tower is?" Tower Ginger Ale was born. With prohibition of the 1920s, Root Beer was a cool, thirst quenching drink on a hot day and quickly became a substitute for beer that was no longer available.
During the early stages of the company, Domenick realized the success of other "tonic" companies was attained by specializing in one product. He decided to organize his company in the same way, specializing in root beer. At the time, drinks like root beer and ginger beer were usually home made. With the assistance of a local pharmacist, Domenick tinkered with his root beer recipe to come up with a distinctive product. In the beginning all of the drinks were bottled in clear glass bottles, but because of Prohibition beer breweries closed there doors. One local brewery had a warehouse full of 7 ounce beer bottles and Domenick volunteered to remove them. Tower Root Beer's brown bottles were born.
After World War II, Domenick's three sons (Richard, Jack and Paul) took over the management of the company. However, in 1969 the company was sold to a conglomerate of soft drink companies and the family business was dissolved. For the past thirty years, Tower Root Beer's recipe has stayed under lock and key, until Dominick's grandson, Larry Cusolito, decided to re-introduce Tower Root Beer to the New England region. He couldn't start, however, until he located his grandfather's original hand written recipe which was stored with his grandmother's birth certificate.
This Rondo Brand American Sardines label is from the 1920s. It is the first version featuring a concert pianist that the company produced; we also have the second one produced. This beautiful label features the piano player hard at work playing a dramatic piece and measures 2.75" Wide x 4" High. The sardines were packed in pure cottonseed oil. This sardine label comes from the Sunset Packing Company of West Pembroke, Maine. The Sunset Packing Company started operations in 1900 and was the largest sardine factory in West Pembroke. It also manufactured oils and mustards used to flavor the sardines. The Sunset Packing Co. had to close its doors in 1962 due to competition from Norway. The two versions of this label would look great framed together. WE GUARANTEE OUR LABELS TO BE AUTHENTIC AND AS DESCRIBED!

Q: How to save data received from the Python console on a remote server in Clickhouse? How to save data from https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/ using gspread (for example, if you have a better method, please tell us) in order to transfer it to the clickhouse database (I use dag from airflow to control etl ) ?
Answers in the documentation are not very clear for newbies, are there step-by-step guides?
Just get data in the console Python - I can, but here's how to save them, given that you will need to pull the data periodically once a day (intermittency is just the work of airflow - I know how )
I have an assumption that you need to connect to clickhouse, this will be a data stream from a file that generates a Python script on the airflow side-once a day, and in the future, sent to Clickhouse over https. Do you have an step-by-step tutorial for that ?
Or what is the best technology to use for this purpose?
Actualy my code looks like this (I think first learn how to get it on the locale, and then wrap it in dag airflow to automate the script launch)

    import gspread
    from oauth2client.service_account import ServiceAccountCredentials
    import pprint

    scope = ['https://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds']
    creds = ServiceAccountCredentials.from_json_keyfile_name('client_secret.json',scope)
    client = gspread.authorize(creds)

    sheet = client.open('Data base').sheet4

    result = sheet.get_all_records()
    print(result)

#in advance I apologize to the elders for the question from a novice

Ian Siegel
Ladies and Gentlemen: Ian Siegal has entered the building. If you know the name, but not the game, it's high time you made his acquaintance. He's the multiple British Blues Awards winner, BMA nominee and hot tip of everyone from Mojo to Classic Rock. He's the songwriter whose recent CD releases sound like career peaks, but are only the start. From one night to the next, he might be a solo acoustic performer or a blood-and-thunder bandleader. Siegal is known as a bluesman, but it's just one shade in the palette of an artist who slips between continents, eras and expectations. They say you can't sing the blues until you've lived the life, and when Ian Siegal steps up to the mic, you can hear the slings and arrows. Recent years have seen the songwriter catch fire, with British Blues Awards raining down and consecutive nominations in 2012 & 2013 for Contemporary Album of The Year in the Blues Music Awards - in effect, the Grammys of the Blues.
It has been said that had Siegal been around in the sixties he would today be accorded the same reverence as artists such as Van Morrison and Joe Cocker. Instead, he is a child of the seventies who dropped out of art college in the late eighties to go busking in Germany. From the streets of Berlin Siegal progressed to clubs around Nottingham in the UK, then to London and ultimately to major stages around Europe. Siegal's forte is playing to an audience. He takes command of the stage in a way very few artists alive today can match. Sweat, passion, humour, balls-tothe- wind slide guitar and a soul-infused voice big enough to fell trees! It has won him an ever-growing following of fans and a horde of female admirers. His career got under way in 2003/04 with two successive European tours as the opening act for ex-Rolling Stone Bill Wyman's Rhythm Kings (Wyman also invited Ian to record with the Rhythm Kings). This was followed by UK tours as a duo with Big Bill Morganfield (son of Muddy Waters). During this time Siegal was also capturing the hearts of audiences in Holland, Belgium, Austria and Hungary. In 2005 he topped the soul/Blues/Jazz charts in Holland.
His 2005 album Meat &Potatoes has been universally praised and gained a maximum four star excellent) rating in the Penguin Book of Blues Recordings – Ian is one of only two living British Blues artists to gain this distinction. Meat & Potatoes was later re-released as a limited edition together with a DVD of his stunning performance on the main stage at the North Sea Jazz Festival.
That was followed by Swagger his 2007 release, which again received universal praise, "No less of a testament to the talents of one of the most innovative, gifted and engaging blues performers on the planet today." MOJO magazine ranked Swagger as their no.2 Blues album of 2007. Siegal is equally accomplished solo as he is fronting his band. In response to fans requests for an acoustic album The Dust was released at the end of 2008. A collection of new songs and some old favourites (with noted pedal steel guitarist B.J.Cole appearing on a few tracks), the CD quickly entered HMV's roots chart, and again made No.2 in MOJO magazine's Blues album chart – this time for 2008.
His Oct 09 release Broadside finally gave Ian the top spot in MOJO's annual Blues album chart.
Siegal's May '11 release The Skinny is an album recorded in north Mississippi with Grammy nominee Cody Dickinson of the North Mississippi Allstars as producer. A band was assembled from musicians in the area including Gary Burnside, Robert Kimbrough and Rodd Bland, all offspring of notable bluesmen.
Ian returned to north Mississippi in May 2012 to collaborate with another dream-team of local legends that he collectively coined The Mississippi Mudbloods. Joining Ian and Cody Dickinson were Cody's bother Luther Dickinson, and Alvin Youngblood Hart. Ian first met Alvin during The Skinny sessions, when the Grammy-winning guitarist swung by the studio and ended up tracking some guitar and backing vocals. The end result of this second visit to the Zebra Ranch Studio is Candy Store Kid (Oct. 2012), which quickly reached no.1 in the iTunes UK blues chart and garnered a swathe of awards in the UK and nominations in the USA. That was followed by Man & Guitar (May.14), showcasing Siegal's supreme ability as a solo performer and his force-ten charisma. Recorded by the BBC at the Royal Albert Hall London Bluesfest, it is Siegal at his belt & braces best – a world-class performer bleeding into his favourite songs. This album scored Siegal another top spot in MOJO's blues roundup on 2014. 2015 has seen two releases in close succession: an unplugged album The Picnic Sessions and alive recording with his European band, One Night in Amsterdam. The Picnic Sessions (Feb.15) is the product of yet another visit to North Mississippi, when he played at the 2013 Hill Country Picnic and an opportunity arose to record. It has Siegal collaborating with the Dickinson brothers, Alvin Youngblood Hart, and Jimbo Mathus (with whom Siegal toured in Europe as a duo in the fall of 2014).
The intention was to create a "back porch" session and wonderfully demonstrates what happens when live talented musicians with a love of Blues & roots Americana get together and play and sing, with no pre-‐determined idea of the outcome.
One Night in Amsterdam (Mch.15) has Siegal in full electric mode charging through a collection of new and old songs in front of an audience at The North Sea Jazz Club in Amsterdam. His band of young Dutch and German musicians back him up superbly and the recording captures the power and
charisma of an artist at the peak of his game. Ian has become established in Europe as one of the most natural, exciting and vibrant talents on the scene today. Each year the stages get bigger, but what sticks most in Ian's mind is his guest appearance with then 92-year old Pinetop Perkins and some of the other remaining members of Muddy Waters' band. This was at London's Jazz Café in 2005 to a packed house. Then later at a festival in Norway, in a role reversal, these legends of post-war Blues spontaneously joined Ian on stage for what turned into a memorable hour long set.
In a twist to his career, Ian performed for several years (2009-12) with France's Orchestre National de Jazz in a program of Billie Holiday songs entitled "Broadway in Satin." Backed by a 12-piece orchestra of young handpicked musicians and accompanied by the French singer, Karen Lanaud, Broadway in Satin has performed at major festivals across France and as far afield as South America and east Africa.

A renowned poet has started an online petition demanding Lilongwe Mayor Desmond to dissolve an advisory committee that has been dominated by foreigners.
The poet, Nyamalikiti Nthiwatiwa, has started the petition at Gopetition.com to force Bikoko to rescind the appointment of his advisory committee.
Nyamalikiti Nthiwatiwa: Has started the petition at Gopetition.com.
Bikoko recently appointed a seven member advisory committee comprising a Malawian, an Indian, a Nigerian, a Chinese, two Rwandese, and a Burundian.
The composition of the board has caused a stir with some Malawians criticising the number of foreigners.
Nthiwatiwa says in his petition that the Mayor frowned upon the Councillors of Lilongwe by instituting a parallel structure and has also not been transparent with the credentials and roles of the people appointed in his committee.
According to Nthiwatiwa, the justification of having seven advisors has also not been provided.
"In addition, the scope of work and mandate for these individuals remains hazy, undisclosed and even non-existent," he says.
The poet has also noted that residents of Lilongwe have not been told how the advisory committee will work with the mayor, the council and the city executive.
"As citizens of Lilongwe, we refuse anything to be done in our name without our knowledge and full disclosure from the leaders we elected.
"Until such a time when our grievances are addressed, we petition the Mayor of the City of Lilongwe to immediately and unconditionally rescind the appointment of this committee," says Nthiwatiwa in the petition.
As of Friday morning, the petition had 112 signatures.
Simply put it,this Mayor is stupid and useless.
