Pedro Almodovar to Direct First Full-Length English-Language Feature "A Manual for Cleaning Women"
Pedro Almodovar is switching tongues, and he's recruiting an Oscar-winning actress to help…
The 72-year-old Spanish Oscar-winning film director, screenwriter and producer is preparing to direct his first full-length English-language feature A Manual for Cleaning Women, with Cate Blanchett set to produce and star in the film.
Still in the early stages of development, the film is based on Lucia Berlin's 43-part collection of short stories, examining the lives of women working a wide variety of demanding jobs.
Blanchett, Andrew Upton and Coco Francini will produce for Dirty Films, with Almodóvar for El Deseo, and Brian Oliver and Bradley Fischer for New Republic Pictures.
The film is Almodóvar's follow-up to Parallel Mothers, the Sony Pictures Classic drama starring Penélope Cruz about two mothers who give birth the same day, and the English-language short The Human Voice starring Tilda Swinton, which was shortlisted by the Film Academy last year.
Almodovar has won two Academy Awards: He picked up the Best Foreign Language Film award for All About My Mother and the Best Original Screenplay award for Talk To Her.

Gilbert Way Albone
8622, Sergeant, 6th Battalion. Bedfordshire Regiment. (112th Brigade. 37th Division)
Killed In Action on the 15th July 1916 aged 28.
Sergeant Gilbert Way Albone
Gilbert was born in Maulden, Bedfordshire, on the 14th October 1887, the son of George & Elizabeth Albone. His father, who was originally from Stevenage, was a Carpenter by trade and the family lived in the St. Andrew's Church in Biggleswade. George Albone later took up work as an Insurance Agent and the family moved to the High Street, Walkern. Gilbert became a professional solider serving with the 2nd Bedfordshire Regiment in Bermuda and had been an Army instructor at both Bedford and Aldershot. After leaving the Army he lived in Southgate, London where he worked as a Bus Conductor and where he met Harriett Edwards. The couple were married on the 11th April 1914 in the St.Michael at Bowes Church in Southgate and a few months later Gilbert was called back to Army service.
He left England on the 30th July 1915 and served continually on the Western Front. He was killed when his battalion attacked the village of Pozieres during the Somme offensive. The attack was headed by the 8th East Lancashire Regiment and supported by the both the 6th Bedfordshire Regiment and the 11th Warwickshire Regiment. Initially, the advance went unopposed but as the two forward battalions went over the crest of the Chalk Pitt they were held up by heavy and accurate machine gun fire. The Bedford's were forced to dig in about 100 yards from Liniere.
Later, it was found that their attack had failed and they had suffered some 244 casualties with 3 Officers and 32 Other Ranks being killed and a further 25 Other Ranks Missing.His younger brother, Cuthbert, was also killed in the Somme sector a few months later.
Gilbert was amongst those killed and is buried in the Pozieres British Cemetery, Ovillers-la-Boisselle, France. (3.G.21.)
Gilbert's name appears on both the Stevenage and Walkern war memorials.
Medal Entitlement: 1914/15 Star, British War Medal & Victory Medal

Why is my computer unresponsive and running slow?
My computer will run fine for a few days to a week and then will start messing up. Slow starts or shut downs. Slow upload on pictures. Non-responsive. Will just freeze.
I will often get the Active Desktop message. Script errors. Chkdsk will sometimes take an hour. Not often, not all at the same time. No money to buy anything. Please and THANK YOU!
did you figure out what caused your computer to be unresponsive? Please let us know in case you found solution or in case you need more ideas. Thank you!
It sounds like a hard disk failure is imminent. The slow photo upload on photos has to do with networking (router, ISP, etc.).
You should first clean out junk files from your hard drive. Download CCleaner and Auslogics Disk Defrag. Once CCleaner is installed, open it and press "analyze" and then after it scans select "Run Cleaner". After that, run Auslogics Disk Defrag and select which hard drives you'd like to defragment and press the arrow next to "Defrag" (which points down) and select "Defrag & Optimize", give it a few hours to finish.
Then go to start -> run or start -> search box and type "msconfig" and press enter. Once the configuration utility opens, go to the "startup" tab and deselect all items you don't need to start up with Windows. After that go to start -> control panel -> Programs and Features (or Add/Remove on XP) and remove programs you no longer need.
It's advised that you restart often and turn your computer off when you won't be using it for an extended period of time (to allow for cooling).
It's not abnormal for chkdsk to take upwards of a few hours (depends on hard drive size and what arguments you've passed to the application). This isn't a utility that you should have to run very often. A common mistake is that simply running "chkdsk" will repair the hard drive, which it won't. You must pass the "/f" parameter in order for it to "fix", so the full command would be "chkdsk /f" which will require a restart.
Index your computer with Windows Experience utility and see where you rank, post the results here. You should also take an Internet Speed Test to see what your ping, download and upload speeds are (again, post the results here).

Energy Stock Diamondback Energy Tops Earnings Views, Returns Millions To Shareholders
Energy stock Diamondback Energy (FANG) topped earnings estimates and matched sales views Monday, as the oil producer returned nearly $900 million to its shareholders while production remained mostly flat in Q3. Warren Buffett stock Occidental Petroleum (OXY) will report third-quarter earnings Tuesday. Diamondback Energy stock edged lower overnight after FANG and OXY stock advanced slightly in Monday's session.
Energy Stocks: Diamondback Energy Earnings
Estimates: The Street forecast Diamondback Energy earnings rocketing 119% to $6.45 per share. Analysts expected revenue to gain 26% to $2.4 billion in Q3. Capital spending was predicted to be $492 million, up 5% from last quarter and a 26% increase vs. last year.
Results: Diamondback Energy reported EPS increasing 120% to $6.48. Third-quarter revenue came in at $2.4 billion, up 26% compared to last year. The company had $491 million in capital expenditures, coming in just below views.
Diamondback Energy also reported that it returned $874 million to its shareholders through repurchasing stock and dividends. This represents around 75% of the company's $1.16 billion third-quarter free cash flow.
Diamondback Energy produced 390,630 barrels of oil equivalent per day in Q3, a 2% increase compared to Q2 and a 3% decrease compared to a year ago.
"We focused on cost control, working to mitigate inflationary pressures associated with the variable components of our cost structure through improved operational techniques," CEO Travis Stice said in a statement Monday.
FANG Stock
Diamondback Energy stock edged lower late Monday, after rising 1.3% to 163.49 during the day's market trading. FANG stock broke out past an official 162.34 buy point from a cup-base pattern, according to MarketSmith analysis. But that's 18% above the 50-day moving average. Shares have shot up 47% since they hit recent lows of 110.97 on Sept. 26.
The Midland, Texas-based energy company primarily produces oil but has significant natural gas operations as well. In Q2, earnings per share increased 194% to $7.07. Revenue climbed 59% to $2.7 billion. Capital spending on operating and non-operating drilling in Q2 was $468 million.
Well completion services, materials and labor are increasingly expensive and difficult to procure, and much of the drilling has gone to simply holding output levels steady. Spiking oil prices have made holding production steady a winning strategy. Analysts project Diamondback earnings for all of 2022 will rise 126% to $25.50 a share on a 41% sales increase to $9.6 billion.
Shale energy stock Diamondback Energy ranks ninth in the Oil & Gas-U.S. Exploration and Production industry group. FANG shares have a perfect Composite Rating of 99. The stock has a 96 Relative Strength Rating, an exclusive IBD Stock Checkup gauge for share-price movement. The EPS rating is 95.
Energy Stocks And The Oil And Gas Market
The financial report comes as President Joe Biden has ramped up criticism of oil producers, but also as oil prices move higher again.
Biden has called on companies to pay higher taxes to lower fuel costs for consumers. The president also said Friday he plans to talk directly with oil companies soon.
U.S. crude oil futures dropped 0.7% Monday to $91.93 per barrel, hovering around prices not seen since late August. Prices rose nearly 9% in October, the first monthly advance since May. Entering November, the production cut of 2 million barrels per day from the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and its key allies including Russia, known as OPEC+, is officially in effect.
Meanwhile, U.S. natural gas prices surged 4.6% Monday to $7.06 per million British thermal units. U.S. natural gas futures are up about 53% since the start of the year. However, they are around 40% off 14-year highs hit in August.
Oil Companies Prioritize Buybacks Over Production Gains
Financial views from Diamondback Energy and Occidental Petroleum come after a number of energy stocks announced earnings last week.
Devon Energy (DVN) reported third-quarter EPS jumping 96% to $2.18 and sales rising 20% to $4.15 billion. Energy stock Marathon Oil (MRO) topped earnings and sales views, and Marathon Petroleum (MPC) reported earnings exploding 969% to $7.81 per share. The week prior, Pioneer Natural Resources (PXD) beat earnings estimates but missed on revenue.
Occidental Petroleum Earnings
Estimates: Wall Street predicts Occidental Petroleum earnings per share of $2.48, a 185% gain, and $9.1 billion in revenue, a 34% increase, according to FactSet. Analysts expect capital expenditures of $1.2 billion, up 100% vs. a year ago.
Results: Check Tuesday after the market closes.
Occidental Petroleum stock advanced 3.7% to 75.95 Monday. OXY shares recently cleared a cup-with-handle buy point of 72.14. The buy range extends to 75.75, according to MarketSmith analysis. OXY stock is currently outperforming the S&P 500, with its RS line at a three-year high.
But OXY stock is more than 10% above its 50-day line.
Houston-based Occidental Petroleum's business exposure is primarily in oil, natural gas liquids and natural gas. It also has a petrochemicals segment that has performed well in recent quarters.
OXY beat estimates with record profits in the second quarter on Aug. 2. Occidental earnings shot up 888% to $3.16 per share. Revenue increased 81% to $10.7 billion. That was driven primarily by increased oil prices, as oil production volumes remained in line with guidance.
Is OXY Stock A Buy Or A Sell Right Now?
Billionaire investor Warren Buffett has been on an OXY stock buying spree this year, with his Berkshire Hathaway (BRKA) adding more than 20 million shares to its portfolio since July. Berkshire Hathaway has increased its OXY stake to around 21%, according to SEC filings, with warrants to push his holdings above 25%.
Occidental Petroleum ranks fifth in the Oil & Gas-International Exploration and Production industry group. OXY shares have a perfect Composite Rating of 99. OXY has a stellar 98 Relative Strength Rating. The energy stock has an EPS Rating of 80.

The one query Dhanush asked each member of the team of The Gray Man is revealed.
At the Wednesday screening of The Gray Man in Mumbai, Dhanush discussed how he always posed one question to every member of the crew while producing the movie, which also stars Ryan Gosling and Chris Evans. On July 22, it will be available on Netflix.
Through Abhimanyu Mathur
On Wednesday, Dhanush attended the Mumbai premiere of the Russo Brothers' next movie, The Gray Man. The actor related multiple stories about how he approached every crew member he spoke with with the same inquiry when filming his Hollywood debut.
After greeting the media with "vanakkam," Dhanush spoke at the ceremony. He remarked, "To be honest, I was extremely astonished they knew about me. There were numerous Covid-19 protocols in place, so whenever I spoke with any member of the team, they would get on a zoom call and inform me that I had to take a test on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, among other things. I would then wonder, "Haan haan… how do the Russos know about me?" They would say, "We don't know." After that, the stunt team will arrive and train me to perform these and these. I'll say, "Haan haan… how did the Russos find out about me?" It continued
I asked everyone else that question but them, as Dhanush said. "Well, now you know," Joe said in response. The Russo Brothers' "extremely straightforward, straight to the point" style, according to Dhanush, made working with them "quite easy."
During the event, Joe Russo discussed how they discovered Dhanush. He remarked, "We got a couple action sequences with Dhanush in the lead, and I remember looking at him after the third one and asking, "Why don't we simply ask Dhanush to do this?" Together, Joe and Anthony Russo uttered the phrase "let's do that" in response to Dhanush's clips.

Casey announces run for Collins' congressional seat
WBFO News
Election Day 2017 has just finished, but Election Day 2018 is already heating up. Another candidate has announced for the Democratic nomination to run against Congressman Chris Collins.
Collins' 27th Congressional District is thought safe for the incumbent, based upon party affiliation and his original victory over Democrat and now Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul. With next year an off-year congressional election, that is often seen as a referendum on a President - and few members of Congress are as close to President Donald Trump as Collins.
With that challenge ahead, Tom Casey has joined the candidate list. With his announcement Tuesday, the retired engineer joins lawyer Sean Bunny and businessman Nicholas Stankevich for the Democratic nod.
At a news conference on the steps of Lancaster Town Hall, the East Aurora resident says he has worked on projects across the district and says he is running against both Collins and his close partner, President Trump.
"I'm running for the people, who I really think are getting the short end of the stick," Casey says. "The positions that our present congressman and our present president are taking, I think are just the opposite of what's for the everyday people. So I am running in clear distinction to them."
Casey says the present administration is eroding the moral center of the country, going back to George Washington and Thomas Jefferson. In particular is his opposition to the tax bill currently being prepared in Congress.
"The tax bill to me is very disappointing, in that it's going to continue an escalation of the concentration of wealth" Casey says. "That's what's underneath it all and, if you read our founders - George Washington, Jefferson - inequality in wealth and concentrations of wealth, that undermines and destroys democracy and that's what this tax bill will do."
He believes there are Republicans with his same points of view.
"While I'm a Democrat, there are Republicans who have strongly, strongly supported me on the issues," he says. "Because if there's a moral center out there, there's a lot of people, obviously not everyone, who will vote for a person who they think is committed to them, is willing to tell them the truth and do what's best for the people."
Casey admits it will be tough to raise money against an incumbent, but says he wants to make maximum use of volunteers, seeking 500 by February 1.

OK I have a few Lemmy stories but my fave is yet another night when I was working in Dingwalls back in early eighties London and Lemmy was (as per) there and playing the machines and come closing time, (technically 2 but 3AM by the time all was finished) his trick usually was to borrow one of the BIG bottles of vodka that went up on the optic and the next day about 5PM - just as I was bottling from the night before - a replacement would arrive by taxi but this night he asked me what I was doing and I said I was just going back to my girlfriend's place up in Tufnell Park. now at this point I should say that Deb E who he knew was a young blonde rock chick who prob fitted in with his preferred demographic of women but whatever...anyway we had to walk I don't know half hour or 40 mins up the road and he suddenly stopped half way and offered me a couple of these black six sided large pills which I had never seen before. Fuck me! It was how I imagine adrenalin would feel injected straight into your heart with the added 'bonus' of immediate lockjaw! I couldn't speak my teeth were that clenched. But I prob walked a bit faster up the road *ahem.
Anyway getting up to Deb's place I'd forgotten that Roddy from the Specials was crashing up at our place that night. Now I'd always loved Roddy's company especially when I found out he was called Roddy Radiation because his face turned red when he drank beer!!! I also really liked his post Specials band The Tearjerkers and I still have my old denim jacket with that logo on the back, prob doesn't fit me anymore but hey ho...
Anyway on the walk we'd chatted at my instigation about hippies (as one thing I cannot stand...) and it was interesting as Hawkwind were never hippies in my book (and the amount of times I fell asleep to Space Ritual with those big mid 70's 'cans' stuck to my head. Boy did my head hurt the next day...) and there was some other stuff after asking about his dad etc...anyway get to Deb's place oh and fuck me Roddy is in tears...he'll never get back to the USA again to get great clothes again etc etc. A bit of speed in Roddy's blood and a wee bit of the vodka that suddenly appeared and oh man...one of the best nights ever. Rock'n'roll tales, talking about this and that with all of us with the biggest smiles. I at that time had a particularly good relationship with a (some would say well dodgy but I wouldn't)) kebab place around the corner and they are STILL there come 8AM or so...and so it went on until about midday. One of my fave nights for sure...as he left Lemmy gave me the address of his flat in Notting Hill/Ladbroke Grove (wherever) and said come round anytime but it was not my stomping ground at all and besides he was nearly always round at my workplace.
He was a fugn gentleman.

What happened when slaves and free men were shipwrecked together
It is time for Australia to set the refugees free
Not since the Second World War has there been displacement of people on the scale that occurred in 2015; nor it seems, since that dark nadir of the 20th century, has there been such ugly division over how millions of people fleeing war and persecution might be helped.
They sailed in tiny rubber boats or wooden fishing vessels. They tramped through fields and along railway tracks, with children slung over their shoulders and old people leaning on canes. Some nations built wire fences and walls to keep them out. Some deployed armed forces, water cannon and dogs to deter them at border crossings.
Terrorism and civil wars have destabilised the governments of their nations, and always the wickedness of persecution rolls on. But instead of demonstrating compassion and care for the disadvantaged and dispossessed, political opportunists and fear-mongers have fomented wicked cynicism, racism and malice.
In Australia, our government continues to use the most despicable tactics to deter asylum seekers. For the past two years, this nation has turned back boats at sea, directing them to other countries. It has detained asylum seekers on naval vessels and handed them back to nations that persecute them for fleeing. Have we shown these people that this is a nation governed by wise and kindly people, or by political grandstanders pursuing their own interests?
The Age believes strongly, and we will say this until the policy ends, that the strategy of turning back boats carrying asylum seekers is ignoble. It demonstrates a paucity of imagination. It has been ruthlessly executed, without proper regard for the asylum claims of those people intercepted. And it has brought this nation into disrepute around the world.
The asylum seekers who arrive here have not broken the law. We will say it again: they are not "illegals". They have used the avenues allowed to anyone under international law – under the United Nations covenants to which Australia subscribes – to seek refuge from all forms of persecution.
It is time to call an amnesty, to end the imprisonment of people who came here seeking help and a better life. It is time to recognise that jailing people in detention facilities for years on end, denying them hope or any alternative, and treating them without compassion, is the most inhumane thing that we could do – short of shipping them back to the situation that they fear in their own countries.
No good can possibly be served by detaining people a day longer in camps in Third World nations. No good is served by denying refugees who are living in Australia the right to work. No good comes from demonising refugees, by ostracising them from the mainstream community.
Good will come by dissolving the oppressive, offshore prisons, by allowing the 827 people who have been detained for more than a year (436 for more than two years) to be let free and to be given a chance to make their way in this country.
The policy of locking up those who did arrive on Australian shores before late 2013, and detaining them on Nauru or Manus Island – where their options, if resettled, are extremely limited – defies common sense. It is costly, and it is a corruption of our vows to pursue humanitarian principles.
We call on the Turnbull government to allow all asylum seekers who are found to be refugees to join our community, on Australian soil. Give them the freedom to be productive members of our democracy, and show the world that we are made stronger by doing so, that we are a compassionate and free people, a resolute and confident nation that properly respects the full range of human rights.

Islamic State is a bit player in a much bigger fight. Is there a method in ISIL's madness? The unbearable lightness of America's war against ISIL. How does ISIL run cities? What happens if ISIL is defeated? This was unfortunate. A dream of utopia in hell. Drones. Growing stupid together. Gareth Evans on combating terror. The rise of the American-Muslim totalitarian state. Putin's popularity. You really can't make this up. Let's stop blaming 'the internet' for terrorism.
A history of heroin in New York. Psychedelics can't be tested using conventional clinical trials. If only they had guns eh? Fugn anti-vaxxers! A capital climate concensus. I feel this is a porky pie. What's a 'safe space'? No Palestinian flags here. It is not the police's role to do social work. How students are changing America. Has politically correct culture gone too far?
An exclusive interview with Lee 'Scratch' Perry after his studio fire. A history of Ork Records. The entire run of Slash magazine for free. Rock Scene here too. The jazz genesis and genius of Marvin Gaye. A good primer of Norman Whitfield's productions here. A history of porno soundtracks. Why Swans are more vital than ever. Documentaries about records and collecting them. 50 years of Rubber Soul. Interview with Abiodun Oyewole of the Last Poets
Death by coconut. Bill Leak has been drawing racist cartoons long before he fell on his head.
This made me laugh. This is simply incredible. I also like this. I fugn loathe Terry Richardson but (ooer missus) it's Miley. (NB the other photos in the set are (very) NSFW) Genesis however? Not so much. Sad topographies. Bonsai. Bidoun
Trolling Trump. The time Trump tried to buy justice for Mike Tyson and the rich. Trump may not be a fascist but...he has a history of racism. Although unfit for Vietnam this is frankly insane. Meanwhile in Pensacola. After Cheney it's Mormons VS Trump. Only you can prevent Islamophobia. LOL. Trump doesn't want you to know this. Why he wins...and it's getting ugly but he will not become President. Hail to the hair.
The last Trump.

Live recording of improvisation between Jochen Arbeit of Einstürzende Neubauten and Robin Rimbaud - Scanner as part of the 30th year anniversary celebrations of the band, recorded at The Forum in London, 16th October 2010.
This live set was completely improvised with no rehearsal and what you hear is exactly what the audience heard that night. No adjustments, no cleaning up, just the truly raw, edgy and thrilling exposure to the moment.
Luke Turner of The Quietus captured the concert perfectly in describing it as "Jochen Arbeit's live collaboration with Robin 'Scanner' Rimbaud was an unqualified sex, retaining a propulsive groove and stern energy despite the improvised nature of the piece."

NB: Fundraiser for Petr Pavlensky
Petr Pavlensky is one of the main artists of the Nordwind Festival 2015. After his final action "Threat", he was arrested and is currently in pre-trial detention in Moscow. In the early morning hours of November 9, 2015, the activist artist set fire to the front door of the Russian Federal Court FSB, residence from which in the 30s the Stalin purges were organized. Pawlenski was accompanied by two Russian journalists who documented the action.
The pictures went around the world and in Russia sparked a discussion on how citizens can claim their rights against an increasingly encroaching State. Pawlenski's prison sentence is expected to be 2 years. In Russian prisons an entirely inadequate basic care is provided, so that all prisoners are dependent on external resources. On online stores, food for the prisoner can be ordered at inflated prices for the prisoners, which makes the stay extremely expensive.In cooperation with the partners: Kampnagel Hamburg, Sophiensaele Berlin and Dresden Hellerau, the Northwind Festival is calling out a fundraiser in favor of Pjotr Pawlenski, in order to assist him in prison. The complete amount will be given to Oksana Shalygina, Pjotr Pawlenski's partner.

RIDM '14: The Use and Abuse of Poetry in Documentary Film
November 21, 2014 | By Patrick Pearce
Staff writer Patrick Pearce questions filmmakers about the "poetics" of film at Recontres Internationales de Documentaire de Montréal.
Gusts of bitingly cold wind eat away at the inch of precocious snow on the ground, offering a fittingly bracing backdrop to the Rencontre Internationales de Documentaire de Montréal (RIDM). Now in it's 17th year, the festival offers a late-in-the-season "best-of" selection of international and Canadian films that favors essays, cross-genre films and other non-traditional documentary forms. With 71 occurrences of the word 'poetic' throughout the festival literature, staff writer Patrick Pearce invited three filmmakers from the festival to get together around a glass of wine to discuss their work and the idea of poetry in film.
To better follow the procedings, a few summaries and trailers are in order:
Nights, by Québec filmmaker and documentary history professor Diane Poitras, roams the streets and buildings of Montreal after dark, collecting snapshots, accounts and confessions of the city's inhabitants and night shift workers. Watch the trailer here
N – The Madness of Reason by Belgian filmmaker Peter Krüger might be described as an experimental biopic essay about 20th century French encyclopaedist, film exhibitor, musician and African adventurerer Raymond Borremans. With this character out to complete his encyclopeadic mission from beyond his tomb, this film draws a shrewd portrait of current day West Africa, it's culture and spirituality. See the trailer here.
Dream Homes Property Consultants by Amsterdam-based filmmaker Alexandra Handal, is presented as a website for a high-end real-estate agency selling premium Arab properties to the Isreali market. Upon further perusal, viewers discover the homes are in fact Palestinian houses in West Jerusalem that were expropriated in 1948. Through the stories of displaced Palestians, this web documentary-in-disguise shares moving stories of uprooting and loss. Short films can be viewed on the site, and a trailer can also be found here.
Patrick Pearce: "Poetic abuse." By this, I mean words like 'poetic', "poetry', "lyrical', 'dreamlike', etc. used abusedly in the context of documentary films.
Diane Poitras: I never use the word 'poetic' for my film, because often when people say, "I want to make poetry," it's a way of saying that if you don't like it, it's because you don't understand my poetry. Sometimes it's an excuse for not being rigorous, and my answer to that is poetry should be very rigorous.
Peter Krüger: I completely agree about the problem with the word 'poetic'. It's the same problem with the term 'beautiful'. So we wouldn't read any more that a film is 'beautiful', but it's the same issue actually. If somebody says, "Your film is very beautifully shot," then I think, "Oh, I have a problem," because I have never wanted to make beautiful shots. The shots have a meaning and it's not about beauty. It's the same thing with poetic. In this words, there is no structure, no tension. If it's abusive, that I don't know but it's maybe it comes out of an inability to defining the film in another way. You have to label it somehow.
PP: It's kind of a short cut.
Alexandra Handal: Well I find it very unfortunate that words like poetry, at least the context of documentary, are used so loosely, because they lose their meaning. When you think of documentary, words such as truth and facts and history come to mind. And when you think of poetry, it's the things we can't explain, the things that we cannot put our hands on, and that's very exciting to speak about that with documentary, because documentary wants to be something that's certain but it's not.
PP: "Gathering and classifying"
Diane Poitras
Poitras: I had a few pillars on which I could stand on but between that, I was just gathering. For instance, there is a street in Montreal that I know very well because I lived there for 10 years and I knew there were a lot of things happening in that street at night. It's a little street, not commercial. And every night, at different times of the night, I would say, "Let's go back to that street," and people would say, "Oh no, not again." The director of photography would be against it "because there's nothing". I would say, "Wait, there's actually a lot of things going on." This is where we got these women who are smoking, the man who's doing his laundry, and the dog. And these were the type of things that I wanted to catch in the film. Actually, when I talk about my film, I say it's a journey, exploring different landscapes and states, nocturnal states. This is what I was trying to do; gather the material what would help me to create that afterwards.
PP: And in your case, Alexandra, you were gathering, I felt, a kind of evidence, perhaps archival evidence.
Handal: Yes. It's a bit like picking up remnants and it's like an archaeological site. I was piecing together, so that's why the narration took on many different forms. For example, when I say the directions of how to get to a home, I use landmarks. Palestinians, when they're describing how to get from one place to another, often describe the place by describing who the neighbour is or what shop is next.
PP: The street where a girl often rides her bicycle, for example…
Handal: Yes. So you read the directions of how to get to a home in the present, it's only later when you view the films that you actually realize that everything you've read – all the people, places – basically none of that exists anymore. These people are now refugees and are unable to get to their home. So 'archive' is not about that place far away in history; it's the present. Memory is always about being in many states at the same time. It's how you understand your present.
PP: By taking elements of the past and recontextualizing them in the present, you're giving them, of course, irony…
Handal: Yes, exactly. That's what I wanted.
PP: Peter, your film is all about classification, but I'm particularly interested in the classification of what is currently going on in West Africa and the conflicts, because your film, despite its fictional qualities, does have a traditional documentary grounding.
Krüger: Yeah, absolutely. One of the reasons why I wanted to make the film has to do with the fact that classification is innocent when it's just for an encyclopedia. But when you start defining people, i.e.: this person comes from Mali and that person comes from Burkina Faso, it's the same process of classification. We give them a name; we give them a location; we give them identity cards. It's also an act of violence in a certain way. In the Ivory Coast, this process of identification led to civil war. Similar to what happened with Jews in the Second World War; it's something which comes back once in a while in history.
At one point our main character doesn't know if he really exists or not, is he dreaming or not dreaming. Then in the middle of the film, he realizes that he's dead. There's no question about it. He has seen his grave. He died and now he's a spirit in the world of the living… he doesn't know why yet and at a certain moment, he has to find a new destiny.
In his perspective he thinks, "Well, I have to continue my work because it's not finished. So I have to continue to define the world." And the world he sees today, it's another world. It's a world with UN, with rebels and so forth. So I decided, if this spirit has a life beyond that, then it has to continue to define things he has never seen before. So he defines he sees rebels and he says, "R, Rebel" He discovers the UN and he says, "Ah, U-N". But, of course, these are elements which are not in his encyclopedia, because he never experienced them in his lifetime, but which will be contained in future versions because an encyclopedia goes on and on forever. So this spirit will never have any rest because it has to continue to define.
PP: "Puzzle-solving"
Peter Kruger
Krüger: We had a very clear structure in terms of story. However, I also shot a lot in a very intuitive way. For instance, going to a cut and then other scenes starting, coming from black, going somewhere else. Panning up to the sky, and the next scene starting from the sky panning down, which means in the editing I had a lot of possibilities in going from one scene to another scene but in a very associative way. Of course, it gives an enormous liberty in the editing. It also means that you can create meanings you didn't expect in the beginning.
Poitras: Well, in my case, actually when I started the editing, I didn't know exactly what would be the structure. I had this idea of many experiences of the night. There is not just one night; there's yours and mine, and each of them are different. We saw associations of feelings, association of situations that would help the editing. But i didn't want the film to rely on characters, so there would be huge spaces for the audience to to project their own experience in the film. So that's why you go into a room, you see something, you go out. You don't stay with these people. You see some people sleeping with a baby, but these are just little experience that may trigger memories of people in the audience, that's what I wanted to do. I need some place to be obscure, not understandable to everybody, not open to everybody. And, for me, night is another form of that.
PP: Which ties into the quote at the end about dark energy…
Poitras: Yes. That makes the three-quarters of the universe…
Handal:Yes. You said four percent of the…
Poitras: Of the universe is made of dark energy and from which we don't know anything…about which we don't know anything. I thought that it's important to bring back these ideas, that we don't have to control everything, to know everything.
Alexandra Handal
Krüger: As long as the viewers is taken somewhere to a certain place and he wants to watch further, that's enough basically. It's very refreshing to know that there is a meaning which we didn't know of before, and that neither the editor nor me, we exactly know what we are doing. We know that there is a meaning, because we feel it works, the material say it works. If we don't, we cannot actually express it or define it in words why or what is. That's very good because that means that we have created something; it was not predicted or foresee before or something. And that, for me, is the essence of creativity.
Handal I'm quite interested in the idea of a moment containing the traces of other moments so that way you can create the threads. In the beginning when you're perhaps watching something you're not aware of but at a later moment, it starts to have new meaning. So, for me, it just stayed really when you mentioned 'train' earlier. I said to myself, "Wow." It's amazing, the image of a train because train has this idea of freedom and the ability to go places and this was actually…the sound was actually of a place that walking into a barrier [a border fence]. And so, you actually can't move. How do you bring it back to the human stories – the stories of loss or pain – things that everyone can relate to in a way. For me, looking for that language, the visual language, the tensions, those small moments, this was, for me, the whole work.

Women in EA: Interview with Natacha Bouaziz
Europ Assistance IPSOS 2021 Holiday Barometer: a majority (57%) of Europeans expect to travel this summer
Our Women in EA series features interviews with women in management positions in Europ Assistance, discussing their career and developments regarding gender equality. Today we speak to Natacha Bouaziz, Group Head of Auto.
WHY DO YOU FEEL DIVERSITY IS IMPORTANT?
I believe diversity is not just about gender but it's also about coming from different cultures, backgrounds, or countries. It clearly helps us look at things from different perspectives. I often compare diversity to a home alarm. If you set an alarm system to moni- tor movement at your front door, you only see people coming in and out the front. But if you set the sensors to 360 degrees, you'll be aware of what's hap- pening everywhere in your home. Diversity provides a broad range of per- spectives –much closer to 360 degrees to look around and search for these views. I believe it prompts important questions (that sometimes you would like to avoid seeing!) but it also forces you to give appropriate answers. In addition, diversity adds a great deal of dynamism when people composing the team are open-minded. And it is now well known that for example, a mix of gender is more efficient than men only.
WHAT ABOUT BALANCING CAREER AMBITIONS AGAINST THE DESIRE TO CREATE A FAMILY?
Maternity leave can often become a blocking point in a career or in somebody's head. Personally, I never felt that being a working woman was a problem during motherhood. I developed a career in the automotive industry – male-driven environment – but always brought my own woman's touch into the equation such as pragmatism, multi-tasking or simply, getting things done. The biggest challenge generally comes with income. I was in my late twenties when I had children, and most of my salary went to childcare. But whilst other women decided to stay home for 3 or 5 years to look after children, I kept working hard, my salary kept increasing and my career continued to grow. So, after 3 or 5 years, I had no regret to continue working over that period and it had a strong positive impact on my career.
WHAT ARE THE MAIN CHALLENGES FOR WOMAN?
I can see 3 types of challenges:
Lack of self-confidence – Very often, women can struggle to position themsel- ves as leader. They will feel uncomfortable in certain situations and will not always have the right level of self-confidence when surrounded by men. They also struggle to display/talk about their own ambitions and spell out where they want to go, what they want to achieve, and acknowledge they are simply ambitious and can lead their career to success!
The need of partner support – let's be clear, a 'mum' can succeed in a much easier way if she has the support on a daily basis from her partner / other family members. The support can and hopefullyshould also come from the children themselves when they are getting to an age where they are old enough to look after themselves. The earlier they can be independent, the easier it is going to be for them!
Mastering men's language – men have their own way of working and interacting together, managing conflicts or being boosted by competition. Learning to speak men's language doesn't mean you forget your own, it means you add a new skill to your portfolio and you improve your ability to communicate to everyone.
WHAT CAREER ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE YOUNG WOMEN TODAY?
Believe in yourself. Ignore anyone who says you can't do what you want because you're a woman or worse, because you are a mum. Understand what's important to you and fight to achieve it!
Natacha has an extensive automotive background since she worked 18 years in Renault. She had positions in various domains such as Purchasing, Fleet Business and After-Sales with a wide exposure to international living abroad (8 years in UK, 3 years in Hongkong) and covering Europe, Africa/Middle East, Asia and America managing international activities. She then endorsed an After-Sales Program Director role to design a 360° strategy and to implement it in regions and countries.
At Europ Assistance, as Global Head of Automotive in Europ Assistance, she leads the overall auto business product line and is responsible to develop innovative products and value proposition for key clients taking into account new industry trends such as digitalisation, connected services, EV and mobility ecosystem.

6 DC Characters Vin Diesel Would Be Perfect To Play
Jason Wiese
Published: Jun. 10. 2020 5:00 AM
Since voicing the title role of The Iron Giant, Vin Diesel has played many heroes (or anti-heroes, even), and one of his most beloved character is arguably the living tree Groot in Guardians of the Galaxy. His commitment to the MCU may be why he has yet to join the DCEU. However, there are a few exceptions to that idea.
For one, the actor snagged his second superhero movie role in 2020 with Bloodshot, inspired by the comic book from lesser known publisher Valiant. Not to mention, Vin Diesel is primarily the voice of Groot (who, famously, speaks the same line of dialogue in any conversation), so, unless the next Riddick movie or James Cameron's Avatar sequel prove particularly time consuming, fitting a live action DC character into his schedule sounds more likely than some of the things Dom Toretto has pulled off in the Fast and Furious franchise.
In case Vin Diesel does see himself joining a third comic book universe in the near future, there are a solid handful of DC superheroes (and some anti-heroes, or even villains) that he'd be a good choice to play. Six characters come to mind, in particular.
The most fascinating thing about putting Martian Manhunter in a movie is that you can essentially cast anyone as the shapeshifting alien lawman, which was the basis of Zack Snyder's original plan to include the character in the DCEU. Of course, you would still need one actor to portray the Justice League member in his most recognizable, hairless, and fully green form, and the fact that Vin Diesel undeniably has the physicality to match is just one reason why he would fit the role perfectly. In addition to outnumbering Superman in powers, Martian Manhunter (whose real name is J'onn J'onzz) is also defined for possessing an unearthly stoicism, which is also a characteristic that frequently represented in many of Diesel's performances, such as Riddick.
Speaking of unearthly stoicism, there may not be a character in DC Comics history who is better known for his cold, unfeeling and practically, inhumane personality than Jonathan Osterman, a nuclear physicist who suffered a horrifying accident in 1959 that turned him into something not short of a god known as Dr. Manhattan. For all of his characteristics, both physical (a shining, blue body of peak condition, which Vin Diesel would only require a little body paint to achieve) and physiological (name any superpower, he has it), the Watchmen character's most crucial metamorphosis was that of his mind, imbued with an infinite knowledge that has rendered him devoid of human compassion, or any emotion really. This is not to say that Diesel has an emotionless onscreen persona, but that he would be good at playing a character who is.
However, if there is one comic book character that Vin Diesel could play to help him shed off that reputation for stoicism, Boston Brand is a DC hero often lauded by fans for having a lively personality, despite not actually being alive himself. The former trapeze artist adopted the apt crimefighter alias Deadman after he his murdered spirit was given the ability to possess the living, which has come in handy while fighting things that go bump in the night as a founding member of Justice League Dark. Deadman's nobility, friendliness and heroic sense of responsibility are all traits that would be refreshing to see Diesel play in live action. Not to mention, he kind of looks like Bloodshot if the comic had originally depicted him without hair.
Speaking of hair, this intergalactic bounty hunter and mercenary almost looks like Bloodshot if he a lot more of it. But no, the chance to see Vin Diesel in a wig is far from why he would be a good candidate. Lobo is one of DC's anti-heroic alien badasses, and he was officially introduced to live action on Syfy's pre-Superman show Krypton, with plans to lead a spin-off series that were eventually scrapped. Still, a solo movie (or even a cameo) is not out of the question, and if Diesel's performance as space outlaw Riddick is not enough evidence he would be perfect to lead said picture, what is? And yet, he might have to fight for the Lobo role, as it has piqued the interest of both Danny Trejo and Jeffrey Dean Morgan, in case the Flashpoint Batman thing for the latter ends up not working out.
It is no secret that Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson have a history of not getting along with each other very well, but they might have to cross paths if Diesel were to join to DCEU considering Johnson has been preparing to play Shazam villain Black Adam for years now. Despite more recent reports of the Fast and Furious co-stars having supposedly, and thankfully, ended their feud, there may still be a chance that DC can benefit from this behind-the-scenes quarrel by letting the actors channel into onscreen performances with casting Diesel as one of Black Adam's worst enemies. Otherwise known as the Metamorpho of ancient times, Ahk-Ton was Egyptian royalty who used his shapeshifting abilities to [ravage Black Adam's kingdom](https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Ahk-Ton(NewEarth), killing his family and inciting their sworn opposition to each other.
However, of all DC villains whose return would be most welcomed, you could make a really good case for Bane, whose most definitive image to the mainstream these days is Tom Hardy's portrayal in The Dark Knight Rises. While most people would agree that Christopher Nolan's final Batman film saw an improvement on how the character was handled in 1997's Batman & Robin, it was still a bit of a stretch from its comic book depiction. It may be time for the highly intelligent, Venom-doping criminal mastermind to be reinvented once again for cinema, but in a way that also honors his roots. It is no question that Vin Diesel is the kind of actor and comic book fan who lives for accurate character portrayals and few actors look as accurate for the part as he does.
What do you think? Should Vin Diesel think fast about bringing these characters to the DCEU or do these choices make you furious? Let us know in the comments and be sure to check back for more updates on the MCU's voice of Groot, as well as even more hypothetical comic book movie casting calls, here on CinemaBlend.

Mik Lezan (Compton, 17 juni 1965), beter bekend als Arabian Prince, is een Amerikaans rapper en hiphopproducer, het best bekend als lid van de rapgroep N.W.A.

Biografie
Hij was een van de oprichters van N.W.A, maar toen medelid Ice Cube terugkwam van de Phoenix Institute of Technology in 1988, vertrok hij nadat hij overtollig bleek in de band - Eazy-E, Ice Cube en MC Ren waren de belangrijkste uitvoerders, DJ Yella was de turntablist en Dr. Dre was de belangrijkste producent.

Na het verlaten van N.W.A begon Arabian Prince zijn solocarrière. Zijn eerste soloalbum Brother Arab werd uitgebracht in 1989. Het werd slecht verkocht.

Arabian Prince ging verder met zijn solocarrière en bracht zijn tweede album Where's My Bytches uit in 1993, en dat was zijn laatste album van de jaren 1990.

In 2007 begon hij weer met het uitbrengen van muziek met zijn Professor X project op het Nederlandse label Clone records. In 2007 trad hij op als dj op de 2K Sports Holiday Bounce Tour met artiesten uit het label Stones Throw. In 2008 bracht Stones Throw een compilatie van zijn electro-rapmateriaal uit de jaren 1980. Een van zijn nummers werd opgenomen in het videospel College Hoops 2K8.
