The HTML/XML Parser Node allows you to parse an HTML or XML document string, as well as optionally run selectors against that document.
The HTML/XML Parser Node has 2 distinct configuration sections - the first defining what to parse, and the second defining what to do with the result.
For determining what to parse, the node needs a JSON payload path, which is expected to point at a XML or HTML document string. The node will take that document and parse it as best as possible - obviously a well formed document is preferred, but the node does attempt to deal with documents that have structural or syntax errors. By default, the node will use the entire document for the result, but a selector can be defined to reduce what is actually returned from the parsed document. The selector uses standard CSS Selector syntax. Invalid selectors will be treated as if they match nothing in the document. Selectors that match more than one section in the document are also valid.
In the above example, the node is pulling the HTML document string from the data.httpResult.body path (which in this case is storing the body of a webpage retrieved by the previous HTTP Node), and applying the selector #myDataSource against the document (which will pull out the node that has the ID myDataSource).
Once the node has the parsed document and has applied the selector, it needs to know where to place the result on the workflow payload, and what form that result should take. Where to place the result is just a simple JSON payload path. In the example above, the result will be placed at data.extractedData and will be in Text format.
"
Item number Three
"
The JSON output can be also be passed back to the toHtml handlebars helper to produce an HTML/XML document string again - which lets you parse a document to JSON, manipulate its contents, and then create a new document string with your modifications.
Losant uses this library because, while there is no official JSON<->XML specification, this library (when using non-compact form) is the closest to allowing lossless bidirectional conversion. The toHtml handlebars helper also uses these same options above for conversion back from JSON to XML with xml-js. They have a number of examples showing what the conversion looks like for various samples.


I do not have any insider knowledge, so this is pure speculation, but I have worked in a lot of organizations that did insane things to try to reach milestones or goals, and so I think it is educated speculation.
A lot of Tesla's market valuation comes from the prospects of getting a lot of volume with their mid-priced (sort of) Model 3. They need to get production rates up both to reduce costs and to try to get ahead of a huge oncoming rush of competitors entering the BEV space. Last year, they promised to have Model 3 production at 5000 a week by the first of this year, a goal they missed by a mile. So now they have set the expectation that they will be at 5,000 a week production by the end of the second quarter, which is basically this week.
One of the weird things about Tesla is the difficulty in getting good information about its operations, particularly since it is a public company. So many investors, for example, were trying to figure out Model 3 production numbers that an entire cottage industry of VIN analytics and delivery reporting has arisen. But the basic story is that they are not there yet and that's not going to change by the end of the week.
But that does not mean they won't be trying to achieve something that looks like 5,000. In the past Tesla has resorted to the "run-rate" claim, that their run rate for a day or an hour was at such and such much higher number. So that is, I think, what is going to happen this week. Parts and subassemblies are likely being stored up so that in a great burst 714 can be completed in one day or if not that, 30 or so can be completed in an hour so that the company can claim a 5,000 unit weekly run rate was achieved. This is obviously BS -- any bottlenecked process can usually be juiced for a short period of time (examples: Transcontinental Railroad track laying record, Liberty ship build time record) -- but I predict we will see it. I also wouldn't be surprised if you found the numbers for last week were actually below trend due to Tesla hoarding sub-assemblies and parts for huge one-off production push this week.
In my previous post I wrote about Tesla's attempt to prolong the $7,500 U.S. incentive for electric cars by pushing sales into the next quarter. A reader on Twitter who goes by the handle @Smack_Check did the math on how much such an effort would be worth to Tesla's customers: $366 million.
Tesla will produce an average of 5,000 cars a week in the third quarter, all models combined (that means about 3,000 Model 3s/week, on average).
Each quarter after that, total weekly production will rise by 1,000.
U.S. sales will account for half of all Tesla sales worldwide during the subsidy period.
Disclosure: I am short Tesla via the ownership of one (1) put option which in my mind constitutes more of a bar bet than an investment. Shorting fan-boy stocks is risky, as is shorting companies the CA legislature is probably scheming right now to bail out somehow with their taxpayer money. If it were not for these two problems I would be all-in on the short like James Bond at the end of Casino Royale holding a straight flush. The odds that Tesla will really be worth $60 billion * (1+i)^10 in ten years is pretty much zero. Also, it's amazing how many of Elizabeth Holme's behaviors at Theranos as documented in Bad Blood one can observe in Musk.
Update: Fixed Tesla current market value, which is closer to $60 billion today.
My kids and I drive my wife crazy when we are watching a movie at home. We have all kinds of conversations going, conversations we would never even consider in a theater (another reason, beyond screen size and sound systems, why I consider the home movie watching experience distinct and not entirely competitive with the theater experience). No movie can be watched without a dozen IMDB lookups of what else so and so actor was in.
One game we play is spot the rifle. This probably does not mean what you think it means. It refers to Checkov's rule (the writer, not the astrogator) never to put a rifle on stage in Act 1 if someone is not going to use it in Act 3. Our game assumes that movies are following this rule, so we look for elements sometimes awkwardly thrown into Act 1 so they can be used later. Note this is distinct from a macguffin, and is really not the same as foreshadowing either. The "save the clock tower" fund raiser early in Back to the Future is an example. Calling your shot in this game, like on Jeopardy, requires the answer to be in a specific form, ie "Never put a lightening strike on a clock tower on stage in Act 1 if you are not going to use it in Act 3". It goes without saying that winning answers must be shouted out in Act 1, not Act 3.
My daughter, who is quite an aficionado of romantic comedies, texted me an updated corollary: Don't put a pregnant woman on stage in act 1 of a comedy unless she is going to go into labor at the most inconvenient moment in act 3.
Postscript: The "Q" armorer dynamic in James Bond is a version of this on steroids. The rules of Q were: 1. Every tool he gives Bond gets used and 2. No matter how odd or arcane the tool (e.g. high powered electromagnet built into a condom) it turns out to be exactly the niche tool Bond needs to escape at some point. For example, one and only one time is Bond issued with a CPR device but that one time he needs it to save his life (Daniel Craig version of Casino Royale).

Metal/Prog Metal CD Reviews
Pain of Salvation - One Hour By The Concrete Lake
Although this band seems to walk very closely between the line of prog and prog metal, this reviewer feels that the foot lands on the side of progressive rock.
Paradise Lost - Medusa
England's Paradise Lost have come full circle and more with Medusa.
Ian Parry - Ian Parry's Consortium Project
Review by Brian Angotti
Ian Parry's Consortium Project is a new breed of rock for the new year. This album is a blend of powerful high-energy vocals and heavy guitar riffs.
The PB Army - Spine for the Snapback
When I heard the debut album "Inebriates, Equivocators and Mockers of the Devil Himself" from Toledo, Ohio's PB Army, I knew I had just encountered a band with a future in the heavy rock business. With their sophomore release, PB Army shows that they haven't lost any momentum.
Peter Pan Speedrock - Buckle Up & Shove It
I really like this quite a bit. It's raw and furious.
Pharaoh - After the Fire
This is a beautiful piece of work. I daresay that if Pharaoh had existed in the 1980's, they would now be releasing box sets in elaborate packaging much like Iron Maiden . They are that good.
Phenomena - Phenomena II - Dream Runner
Given the scope of musicians on this set, I'm shocked I've never heard of these guys before. This is a reissue of an album released in 1987.
Pineal - Smiling Cult
I've included this in the metal section of Music Street Journal, but it's not old school metal by any means.
Poison - Power To The People
Nearly ten years later. The original line up of Poison returns with "Power To The People". Power To The People features five new tracks and classic Poison tunes recorded live on their 2000 reunion tour.
Poison - Crack a Smile and More
Are the eighties back for more? Well, with the recent success Poison has had it is very likely.
Pretty Boy Floyd - Kiss of Death: A Tribute to Kiss
I've always heard of this band, but I don't think I've ever actually heard them before. To me, they look and sound quite a bit like vintage Motley Crue.
Primal Fear - Nuclear Fire
Primal Fear is a band that would dearly love to be Judas Priest. From the Hellion-style robotic birds on their album covers to the leather garb of the members and the shrieking vocals of Ralf Scheepers, everything about these Germans screams of their desire to follow in the footsteps of the immortal British metal band.
Probot - Probot
It seems a sad fact that many artists forget the music of their younger days when they "mature". It's not unusual to find a successful musician trying to deny or belittle his time in punk, heavy metal or hard rock bands.
Prong - Zero Days
Review by Kat Heitzman
This three man band is still carrying the metal pitchfork as their sound has officially merged the old with the new. This album has the distinct sound of Prong with all the bells and whistles of newer sounding metal.
Puya - Fundamental
This one is included as progressive metal, because although it really doesn`t fit the traditional definition of that genre, it includes very unique musical influences and quirky arrangements.

Iron & Glass: Episode 8 – Escape
April 29, 2020 December 13, 2020 Samuel Langland Featured, Sci-Fi Iron & Glass, Iron & Glass Year 2

Our hero and his beloved search for escape as he learns about his unusual gifts.
At my words, Aeliana blinked and focused her eyes, which went wide as she looked down at herself, clad in a spacesuit. "How did I—" She sputtered. "Where…"
She squeezed her eyes shut, and with a twitch of her fingers, collected herself and gave me a level gaze.
The intensity of it sent chills down my spine.
In microgravity, she brought herself upright, relative to me, and adopted her voice of command. "What has happened to us?" It was an imperial 'we,' referring only to herself.
I could've sworn ice formed over my heart. "A station worker kidnapped, drugged, and stuffed you into some emergency pressure suit in an airlock. I, uh…went after you."
She gave a slight nod. "Anything else?"
I gestured around at the vessel. "This weird ship showed up and secured itself to the station with pitons fired from side-mounted canons. A pilot came out with a gun and helped your kidnapper to take us hostage."
"I see…" She shuddered as she drew in a deep breath. "Thank you," was barely audible as she squeezed my hand. My ice melted.
She looked around the compartment and pulled off her gloves. "How long was I unconscious?" Half of her night-dark hair was stilled plastered to her head, while half of it swayed in tangled locks with the movement of her head. Her amber eyes were bright.
"Only for a couple of minutes after they locked us in here." I held up the orb. "This woke you up."
As Aeliana's head swiveled, her eyes widened. At first, I thought it was her surprise to see the orb, but she looked directly at me.
"You used the orb?" Her words were ghostly, and I heard shock in her voice.
I drew my brows down, confused. "Sure. It brought me here and then it led me to you. Why wouldn't it work?"
"Michael…" Aeliana grasped my hand with both of hers as she shook her head.
My heart did a pirouette.
She continued. "When it transported you here and led you to me, those were instructions that anyone with the Inheritance could give to the orb, which it could carry out automatically."
And merely touching it had transported me here.
"But did you tell it to wake me?"
I nodded in answer, thinking of how I tried to will the orb.
Aeliana mirrored my gesture. "Then you have the Inheritance, the ability to use the gifts of the Fathers."
My mouth opened as I searched for a question. What finally came out was a long "Umm…"
She cocked an eyebrow with a playful smile. "How? That's what I'd like to know." She waved her hand as she turned serious again. "Whatever the case, we need to get out of here."
It was time for me to shake the fog from my brain. "Right." I looked about. "How do we plan to do that?" I thumbed at the door. "That's locked."
"With this." She lifted the orb from my hand, and I could see the faint trace of sparks in its core. "If it has enough of a charge."
I lifted a finger, a habit left from raising my hand in a classroom. "I get that the orb can do some crazy things, but—"
Aeliana drifted to the back bulkhead of the compartment, holding the orb near its surface. She didn't turn back.
"How is it supposed to open a locked door? A mechanical door."
"Do you remember how you found me?" She waved the orb over the surface of the bulkhead as if searching for something.
"The orb acted like a compass needle, and I found this vault door—"
"That opened on its own?"
Then it clicked into place. "You integrated your technology with whatever the orb is?"
The insights kept coming. "This is one of your ships."
"An assault shuttle, yes." She nodded, still facing the bulkhead. "There will be an override somewhere around here…"
As soon as she said that, a panel popped open to expose what looked like an oversized circuit board with a ring at its center, the same diameter as the orb.
I looked back at the hatch. "If we open this up, we're going to need weapons. And there's definitely a shortage in here."
She turned back. "What would you suggest?"
I stroked my chin and thought of space capsules falling into the ocean. "Is there any kind of emergency escape for, let's say, water landings?"
Her eyebrows went up. "Maybe…"
"We're not in atmosphere, we're in vacuum." I tapped the helmet floating near me. "And we still have these."
She smiled for a second, but it faltered. She had the same thought I was having, that decompression was a horrible way to die.
All emotion fled from her face as she adopted a queenly hauteur. "Let me check."
She touched the orb to the center of the panel and her eyes went unfocused for a moment. Then they refocused and she nodded. "Yes."
I said nothing more, but nudged her helmet toward her as I put mine on.
With our helmets secured, she pressed the orb to the center of the panel. Everything jinked sideways and my shoulder was struck on one side, then my feet were clipped in a different direction, and my helmet collided from another angle.
It took me a moment to realize that the ship was spinning around us. I grabbed a seat armature, which almost yanked my arm out of my socket, and then got hold of Aeliana as she sailed by, arresting her movement. By some miracle, the orb was still in her hand.
Now in sync with the vessel's relative motion—and fighting a bout of dizziness—I gently pushed her toward the panel and gestured to it and the compartment hatch when my hand was free.
The hatch popped open and I sailed into the cockpit, rapidly falling in and out of light and shadow as the vessel spun. Something was plastered across the cockpit window. Parachutes. So maybe those retro thrusters fired and some charges popped the shoots and that's what set it spinning.
To one side, the cockpit hatch was opened to the black. And there was Eude the traitor, floating on the other side, his helmet on, having somehow escaped being ejected into the void.

Brothers in BLOOD by Kent Hill
December 1, 2019 Kent Hill	Leave a comment
DRY BLOOD . . . WOW! What a movie – minimal in construction, but ocean-deep in subtext . . . with a type of gleeful depravity.
The dynamic filmmaker duo of Clint Carney (writer/producer/actor/artist/musician) and Kelton Jones (the man who induced GOD to Mel Gibson/director/actor) have conjured with the combination of immense talents – and with the aid of a rich assortment of family and friends – a film that stays with you as the credits roll.
The film is a tense, slow-boil of a horror picture that, when it explodes, you're never quite ready. It is a journey into the tormented mind of character gripped by fear and self-loathing which overflows into a gruesome cesspool of vicious insanity, coupled with exciting, delicious, mischievous and frightening portrayals for Messrs Carney and Jones.
DRY BLOOD has recently completed a very successful festival run, having received an astounding thirty award wins (including many for "Best Picture," "Best Actor," "Best Director," and "Best Writer"), with another twenty-three nominations as well. Highlights from this festival run include "Best Feature Film" and "Best Actor" wins from the Bram Stoker International Film Festival in the UK, as well as the top spot at the Indie Film Playoffs, where DRY BLOOD swept the board (Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Actress, and Best Writer) in a competition against numerous films from multiple festivals.
Clint Carney, who wrote, starred, and composed the score, says, "It's been a long and exciting journey to go from writing the script almost four years ago, to now releasing DRY BLOOD to the world. We are beyond excited to work with Dread Presents. They already have number of great films in their catalog and we couldn't be happier to be a part of their roster, and to be welcomed into the Dread family."
DRY BLOOD is directed by Kelton Jones, written by Clint Carney and starring Clint Carney, Jaymie Valentine, Kelton Jones, Robert V. Galluzzo, Graham Sheldon, Rin Ehlers, and Macy Johnson.
"Clint and I set out to make our favorite horror movie," remarks Kelton Jones, the film's director. "We wanted to make a film that was true to the genre and lived up to the potential of what a great horror film could be. We knew this would be an ambitious task. We hold such a great love for the genre and the masters of cinema who had shaped our childhoods. We felt the best way to honor them was to pour our hearts and souls into making DRY BLOOD. We knew our toughest audience would be ourselves and we endeavored to make a film that we were truly proud of. I feel very grateful to have been able to be a part of such an amazing project, made with love, by people I love. I am beyond thrilled to be releasing this film with Dread Presents.We set out to make our favorite film; my hope is that it becomes your favorite film as well."
It's a great little gem of a horror movie that shows us a glimpse of the evil that lurks within us all, but as a production, it showcases what a group of like-minded, talented, and hungry filmmakers can do when they pool their resources. And it is my pleasure to present them to you now…
KELTON JONES
https://podcastingthemsoftly.files.wordpress.com/2019/12/dry-blood-2.mp3
Director Kelton Jones's love of cinema began as a child in the seventies. His mother owned a quaint flower shop that shared a wall with the singular movie theater on the rural main street of Buffalo, Texas. Kelton would spend his afternoons watching and rewatching the afternoon showings as he waited for his mother to finish the day's work. When the rare feature film would be shot on location in a nearby town, Kelton would find a way to the set so that he could watch from the sidelines, as the filmmakers would spin their magic. Finally, at age 16, Kelton's first feature in front of the camera gave him the chance to ask the crew if he could join them after he finished his work as an actor. From that very first film, Kelton has permeated the boundaries between actor and filmmaker craftsman. DRY BLOOD is the culmination of a lifetime spent studying film, working on sets, writing scripts, and acting. While on set, it was not unusual to see him in full character wardrobe setting a light, operating a camera or pushing a dolly as he directed the scene. Though this marks his first feature film as director, he has worked every other crew position on set of previous films, ranging from small independent pictures, to huge Hollywood productions. Ultimately, his choice of projects has always been driven by a deep love of the medium, a passion for a great story, and the opportunity to learn and push his own boundaries.

All That We See or Seem: Nate's Top Ten Films on Dreams and the Subconscious
August 21, 2019 natewatchescoolmovies	Leave a comment
What happens to us when we sleep? How does our collective and individual subconscious influence the way we exist both awake and dreaming? It's roughly half our lives, so time spent in the subconscious realms, land of the dead and places beyond mean a lot to our existence as a complete life cycle. There are many films out there that explore these concepts. Some visually, some emotionally but always with a good deal of creativity and imagination. From virtual prisms to nocturnal demons to tangible alternate realities and the deities that dwell therein, it's a complex, mysterious sub-genre! Here are my personal top ten..
10. Neil Jordan's In Dreams
A psychic link is established early on between a small town housewife (Anette Bening) and a bizarre, elusive serial killer (Robert Downey Jr). But why are they connected? What do the visions she has even mean, manifesting to her in vague images and abstract impressions that only suggest the evil lurking out there? Jordan is a filmmaker obsessed with mood and style but also dutiful in making sure that such things serve that story and have weight. This is a gorgeous looking psychological fairytale with an avant-garde performance from Downey, breathtaking visuals and excellent supporting work from Aiden Quinn, Stephen Rea and Paul Guilfoyle.
9. Calvin Reeder's The Rambler
This abnormally surreal piece of midnite movie madness sees a stoic Dermot Mulroney as the titular Rambler on a post-prison meander through a version of America's southwest that's been poisoned by abstract qualities and turned on its head. It isn't explicitly about the subconscious other than a subplot in which a bemused scientist (James Cady) records people's dreams onto a VHS doohickey, an endeavour that goes wrong in the most hilarious of ways (think Scanners except bloodier). However, I've rarely seen a film that captures nightmare logic like this gnarly little piece does. It isn't ever said whether the Rambler's journey is all a dream or not, but the feeling one gets as he ambles dazedly from one bizarre encounter to the next, the nonsensical fashion of language used and the overall feeling that one has been lost in some threatening netherworld where sensory input has been scrambled and people are indistinct grotesqueries is overpowering. Be warned with this one, there's nothing pleasant about it, it exists purely to shock, disgust and disorient, areas in which it thoroughly earns its keep.
8. Joseph Ruben's Dreamscape
The most playful film on this list sees Dennis Quaid as a young psychic recruited by government scientist Max Von Sydow to enter the dreams of the US president (Eddie Albert), who has been having some disturbing nightmares. There's a conspiracy afoot involving a shady government big-shot (Christopher Plummer) and time is running out to decipher the mystery. This is a colourful kaleidoscope of a flick with dazzling special effects, especially in the impressive dream sequences. A giant cobra rears it's head, mutants leer out from a nuclear wasteland, an eerie, endless staircase descends into darkness and the visual aspect overall is exceptional.
7. Wes Craven's A Nightmare On Elm Street
Dreams get the slasher treatment with lucrative and legendary results in this lean, mean horror flick that would go on to span a mammoth franchise. Using clever practical effects, an ambient score and Robert Englund's now iconic performance as dream demon Fred Krueger, Craven sculpts an atmospheric aesthetic for the ages. Johnny Depp's first role in cinema as well, and he gets eaten by a bed no less. I dare you to google the true story that inspired Craven to write this film, you might just have some nightmares of your own.
6. Satoshi Kon's Paprika
Dreams as a collective and quite literal parade come tumbling into our world when a therapist's machine to enter them is stolen by a terrorist. This film truly breaks some boundaries in what storytelling can do and show with animation, and requires several viewings to appreciate the full scope of vision. Kon and his animators thoroughly paint in all the corners and write a dense, chaotic script full of moving parts and wild ideas in telling the story of dreams run amok, with a deft subplot about cinema itself thrown in seemingly just for fun.
5. Jamin Winans's Ink
This is one I've been championing for years, a low budget indie that defies description in ways that you won't see coming. The multifaceted story is free from the bonds of time and space and sees a mysterious supernatural demon named Ink kidnap a young girl (Quinn Hunchar) and drag her off into the dream realms for some vaguely nefarious purpose which soon becomes appallingly clear. Meanwhile, the forces of light and darkness that rule over our unconscious bodies while we sleep both race to track Ink down and engage in a furious war for the girl's soul. That seems like a chunk of exposition, doesn't it? Well it doesn't even hint at the wonders, revelations, trips to alternate dimensions, flashbacks to several different pasts and narrative twists to come. This is a gorgeously moving fantasy film that works wonders with a scant budget but also gets surprisingly deep and psychological in exploring its human characters, a mini masterpiece that I will recommend until the end of time.
4. David Lynch's Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me
This is technically my favourite film of all time but I'm trying to gauge this list on which films provide a provocative and comprehensive view of dreams and the subconscious, so here we are at #4. Lynch's challenging masterpiece involves many aspects and moving parts, but a big influence on narrative is the creeping presence of mysterious spiritual beings that reside in the mythical plane of The Black Lodge and manifest in dreams. Protagonist Laura Palmer has harrowing nightmares that present an illogical, fractured view of the dark forces amassing against her and others who live in the Pacific Northwest town that is filled with secrets. David Bowie also shows up, literally escaping a tangible nightmare very briefly to incoherently warn his FBI buddies about something before being dragged off back to the netherworld.
3. Cameron Crowe's Vanilla Sky
Yes this is a remake of a Spanish film that also starred Penelope Cruz in the same role she plays here, and I've had the discussion many times on which film is better. This one speaks to me far more than the original though, Crowe's hazy hued, autumn in New York aesthetic is gorgeous and don't get me started on the amazing soundtrack. Tom Cruise is a bratty publishing heir who discovers the danger of his ways in encounters with two very different women, angelic Cruz and unstable Cameron Diaz. The story is about much more of course but to say too much here would be to ruin it. It's a fantastic piece of heartbreaking filmmaking with a haunting conclusion and solid supporting turns from Jason Lee, Tilda Swindon, Michael Shannon, Timothy Spall, Jason Lee, Noah Taylor, Alicia Witt and Kurt Russell.
2. Christopher Nolan's Inception
An obvious choice no doubt, but this is every bit the magnificent game changer its reputed to be, and a blockbuster with a brain in its head. Combining elements of corporate espionage with dreaming, Nolan tells a magisterial, hugely ambitious tale of Leonardo DiCaprio's thief of the subconscious and his crew in pulling off a dangerous, near impossible task. What really makes the film work for me though is the relationship with his deceased wife (Marion Cotillard) and how it highlights the toll that entering dreams would take on your psyche as the forces that sculpt reality begin to crack and there's danger of getting lost in these realms. It's so much more than just a pseudo heist flick that happens to take place inside a dream world, there's psychological depth, a rubik's cube of a narrative to feast on and some truly heartrending moments when we discover just how much power the unconscious mind has over our souls.
1. Tarsem Singh's The Cell
The hunt for a heinous serial killer ends with his dramatic capture in a spectacular FBI raid. End of story? Not so much, as he's in a permanent coma and his last victim is still out there somewhere in captivity, with time running out. Jennifer Lopez is a compassionate child psychologist who uses futuristic technology to enter the man's terrifying subconscious and look for clues, as well as appeal to the side of him that still retains innocence. Singh is a master stylistic storyteller and the images, sound, costumes and visual dreamscapes on display are like eye candy for the spirit and tell this story in an otherworldly fashion that I can't even describe here. Vincent D'Onofrio is hauntingly complex as the killer, Vince Vaughn grounded and intense as the agent spearheading the search and the eclectic cast includes Patrick Bauchau, Dean Norris, Tara Subkoff, Peter Sarsgaard, Jack Conley, Dylan Baker, Marieanne Jean-Baptiste, Jake Weber, Pruitt Taylor Vince, scream queen Musetta Vander and the late great character actor James Gammon. This is top of my list and one of my favourite films of all time, partly for the gentle yet arresting way it dives into the psyches of several characters, also the pure artistic innovation present in the visuals that are constantly changing, shaping and mapping out the subconscious using picturesque poetry, startlingly graphic horror and an ever present, bewitchingly ethereal score from Howard Shore.
Thanks for reading! Please feel free to share some of your favourites of this genre in the comments!! More to come as well!

Cameron Crowe's Jerry Maguire
November 2, 2018 natewatchescoolmovies	Leave a comment
Cameron Crowe's Jerry Maguire is probably one of the most engagingly likeable films I've ever seen, on both a star-power and script level it positively glides. I've heard it described as the ultimate feel good movie, and while I would be quick to agree, I think there's more to it. There's countless films out there about unscrupulous maverick in the professional world who have a crisis of conscience, an ethic conundrum or call it what you will, but Tom Cruise's freewheeling, silver tongued sports agent may be the only case I've seen where said crisis happens literally at the beginning of the film as opposed to a midsection turnaround or climactic final resolution. Because of this, the rest of the film is completely affected each step of the way by his awakening in the first scene, which I find so interesting.
The hero has his realization early, and it seems like the kind of weighty lesson that sums up the bulk of the film, but it only leads to more complicated questions, tricky interpersonal communication based on previous impulsive behaviour and a trickle effect down into even more life lessons, always given the unexpected flourishes and cathartic pathos of Crowe's script, which has to be among the best ever written.
Cruise is aggressive, tender, charismatic and compelling as Jerry, the archetypal American business shark who flounders in the deep end of a narrative seemingly built as an obstacle course for character renewal and self discovery. Renee Zellweger is an actual angel as Dorothy, the single mother who realizes that idolizing and loving someone can be different things, one and the same or a confusing mixture of both. Cuba Gooding Jr. is a stirring bundle of joy and frustrations as Rod, Jerry's last remaining athletic client, a fiercely loving family man with a self referential chip on his shoulder and enough energy to fill a stadium on his own, it's the best work I've ever seen him do. The supporting cast is unbelievable and includes Jerry O'Connell, Jay Mohr, Beau Bridges, Eric Stoltz, Donal Logue, adorable Jonathan Lipnicki, Kelly Preston, Mark Pellington, Jared Jussim, Toby Huss, Drake Bell, Ivana Milicivic, Lucy Liu, the always lovely Bonnie Hunt and an absolute knockout Regina King as Rod's fiercely passionate wife, it takes a lot of effort to steal every scene in a film that's already packed to burst with scene stealers but she is really something else here.
I've read reviews saying that this is too much of a good thing and that there's too many strong elements to absorb or focus on all at once and I disagree. I think that whoever wrote that has underestimated the cinematic appetite of people who crave well written, emotionally ambitious films that don't just break the mould but drop kick it full field goal. Jerry Maguire is at once a brilliant character study, a rocking ensemble piece, a genuinely thought out and heartfelt romance, a morality play and what's more, Crowe handles all of the above in a fresh, unique way. Having finally seen this I still can't say that it dethrones Vanilla Sky as my favourite Crowe film (a tall order indeed), but I loved Jerry Maguire to bits, I was locked to the screen for the entire two plus hours, it's a wonderfully told story and is now inducted into my list of favourites.

Cosmo Alexandre explains how re-signing with ONE Championship was financially a safer choice
By Farah Hannoun, MMA Junkie Radio August 11, 2020 5:10 pm
By Farah Hannoun and MMA Junkie Radio | August 11, 2020 5:10 pm
At this point in his career, Cosmo Alexandre is looking for security.
Alexandre (8-1), who recently had a contract dispute with ONE Championship, has re-signed with the promotion with the help of his new manager, Ali Abdelaziz.
The 38-year-old hasn't competed since his 29-second knockout over Sage Northcutt in May 2019, putting a momentary halt to his momentum. He reportedly was unhappy with his contract and asked ONE Championship to either increase his pay or release him.
But after coming to terms with ONE Championship and signing a new six-fight deal, Alexandre plans on getting back to action soon.
"After my fight against Sage, we started talking about my contract – so it was a long talk," Alexandre told MMA Junkie. "(It was) kind of like a long fight. But in the end now, I talked straight with (ONE chairman) Chatri (Sityotong), and I think it was better for me. A lot of people talk about UFC and other shows here in the U.S., but for me I see ONE Championship is safe for me.
"It's safer for my family. I'm 38. I don't want to fight until like 43, 44. I just want to fight a few more years and looking at it this way, it's safer for me to stay in ONE Championship."
Alexandre doesn't plan on competing for too much longer, which is why he views ONE Championship as a more stable home for him. He said regardless if he wins or loses, he will get to fight out his six-fight deal without the risk of potentially getting released.
"Financial, because I made a deal – six fights – so I know I'm going to fight the six fights. So it doesn't matter what happens in my last five fights," Alexandre said. "If I fight five and for some reason I lose the five, I will still fight in my sixth fight.
"Any other show in the U.S., probably you can't do it. Like UFC, if you sign a four-fight deal, if you lose the first two, maybe you fight a third, but probably they will cut you, so you won't fight your fourth. So for me, that's what I was thinking. So for me it's safer to stay in ONE Championship."

There is some evidence to suggest that this drug ranibizumab/Lucentis increases the patient's chance of suffering a stroke. I have not seen science that talks about the drug causing blindness.

If the 4th Edition of Legend of the Five Rings was known for the "Rokugan, Your Way" approach, then this edition of the game from Fantasy Flight Games has taken the same impulse and baked it into the setting itself.
The reboot was something of a big deal, having ditched all the sacred cows from the old setting and keeping only the most essential elements of what make the Legend of the Five Rings what it was. It was a strong move, and one that I still heartily support as it frees people from the shackles of the metaplot, and explicitly tells the GMs of the game (old and new) to run the game as they want.
Part of the challenge here for old GMs of the setting like me, is to learn to undo the habits and expectations of the former game. It's not always easy, of course. 15 years of playing the same game the same way tends to calcify certain behaviors and the narrative nature of this edition still throws me off now and then.
So rather than judge, I took it upon myself to learn. And in the end, I've found that there are things about this style of play that I can find amusing. As a GM, however, I also found that I needed to help guide and lead my players towards this change of playstyle. It's a bit of a give-and-take as we all work our way through each session and review what worked and what didn't and why.
In a way this is why I'm glad the players I've found have been considerate and willing to learn and try something new. If I'd run into 4e grognards who rejected the new in favor of old things I'm sure I'd be stuck with a very different opinion of this edition.
This brings me to the next point. As a GM, I'm used to being the story lead in most games. I figure out plots, throw out complications, and let players sort them out. This still exists in the new Legend of the Five Rings, but it becomes richer the moment players learn to trust me enough to express where they want to take their characters.
There's a benefit to having an open conversation where players can outright tell the GM, "I think my character has an opportunity to go down X route." It's the kind of feedback that this edition excels at handling. I've gone on and on about my preference for the genuine joy of emergent gameplay, but I've learned that there's a fallacy to equating "I want my character to do X" with the death of surprises.
I've hit the point in my Lion campaign where I'm ready to let my players take the wheel. I'll still be doing the heavy lifting for the setting, but in letting the players have at it, I'm also telling them that I'm ready to be surprised.
In the same way that I'm letting go of being Supreme Overlord, it's also a challenge to my players: surprise me. Take the game down paths of your own choosing and let's all have fun along the way.
One of the things I've learned this year ever since I've started going to the gym is that you need to work on form before you can even think about working on increasing weights. Form seems boring, but in the end it is what will save you from injury.
The same applies for me and this edition of L5R. I'm only about 4 sessions into my Lion Clan campaign and I'm still making the same mistakes (forgetting to declare TNs in particular) and I'm still getting used to the mechanics. But the more hours I clock in means that I'll have the necessary equivalent of GMing muscle memory to run it better next time.
It's easy for me to fall into the confidence trap of judging my games too harshly because they don't run as smooth as they used to, but I need to remember that this is a game that I've only collectively clocked in only about 48 hours into, as opposed to the cumulative years of running the prior system.
Mastery will come in time. For now, work on understanding the game, taking it for what it is, then eventually learn to make it sing.

RIYADH — Oman's Ministry of Transport has announced that the first road link serving the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Sultanate of Oman will be opened for the public soon. Salem Muhammad Al-Nuaimi, the Omani undersecretary at the Ministry of Transport, Communications, and Information Technology, announced the road is almost complete and to open soon.
Al-Nuaimi, in his interview with Oman TV, said that work was now in full swing to establish the facilities required to provide utility services for the travelers on this road.
The road project that remained delayed for years will cut the distance between the two countries by about 800 kilometers and decrease travel time and distance significantly, he added.
Calling the road linking the two countries as vital, Al-Nuaimi added, "The larger portion of the road passes within Saudi Arabia, extending into some of the most difficult terrains in the world, through the Empty Quarter."
The road crosses through the Empty Quarter and Al-Ahsa governorate in Saudi Arabia, covering 580 km in the Kingdom, and its length in Oman stretches to about 160 km.

Grace Masuku (1932 - )
The Order of the Baobab in
Grace Masuku (1932 - ) Awarded for:
Her outstanding contribution in the field of environmental conservation.
Profile of Grace Masuku
Grace Masuku is a former school principal from Moruleng in the North West. She is from the Bakgatla ba Kgafela people, who in the apartheid era were forcibly removed from their ancestral land to make way for the Pilanesberg Game Reserve. Today, Masuku spends her retirement dedicated to restoring the Bakgatla's traditional respect for the environment as well as improving the living conditions of inhabitants in the approximately 30 surrounding villages. She aims to engender a spirit of self-sufficiency in the area, which in recent times has been hard hit by the closure of platinum mines.
Masuku has a profound understanding of indigenous knowledge systems and the environment. She is the brain behind several successful environmental and conservation initiatives. Apart from being a 'traditional conservationist', as she calls herself, she is widely regarded as a powerhouse of knowledge on indigenous plants and a giant in sustainable rural development.
A septuagenarian with endless energy, she continues to share knowledge with those around her. Her undoubted vocation is organising women and the youth around her and showing them how to use the environment in a sustainable way. Her efforts to alleviate poverty, using her own brand of wisdom, have not gone unnoticed. She has won many awards, including the coveted Ma-Afrika Award.
She uses her pension to visit the numerous villages to provide training and ideas for businesses based on traditional values and knowledge. Her first project, Letswanana, began 21 years ago, and today continues to yield herbs that are used to treat diseases. Her most public project, Podi-Boswa (meaning 'goat, our inheritance'), has provided more than 1 000 people with sustainable livelihoods through producing leather products from goat-hides that had been discarded prior to the Podi-Boswa venture. It all started when the Department of Trade and Industry's Community Public-Private Partnerships Programme was looking for a project leader to co-ordinate a leather-producing initiative. Someone suggested Masuku, and she quickly surveyed the area to see whether the project was feasible. She discovered that every household in the area owned one or more goats. A programme was implemented to train people in the production of leather skins and products. It was not long before they started seeing profits. The project has since won the support of the World Conservation Union and the Agricultural Research Council. Moreover, Podi-Boswa was one of the eight projects showcased by South Africa at the World Summit on Sustainable Development in 2002.
A similar project involves the production of medicinal herbs using indigenous plants. Masuku was awarded R1,5 million by a German non-governmental organisation to assist in the building of a pharmacy to house these traditional herbal remedies. Masuku's mission is all-encompassing. She is also a sought-after speaker on topics as diverse as safe-sex practices and Setswana culture and she is known to occasionally head ecotours in the Pilanesberg area. Masuku was named by the National Heritage Council as a National Living Treasure in 2005.
In February 2006, the documentary From Nkoko… With Love, was aired on SABC2, detailing Masuku's life and philosophy. Grace Masuku is exemplary in her commitment to the environment and to the innovative use of local knowledge and wisdom. She combines her intimate awareness of her traditional environment and the imperative to create sustainable economic projects that remain ecologically sensitive. She is a model of perseverance and productive inventiveness.
She has five children.

Rideau was the junction point of the Canadian Northern Railway's transcontinental and Toronto-Montreal mainlines, about 6 miles southwest of downtown Ottawa. Opened in 1912 with the completion of the Ottawa-Toronto segment, it was a major terminal with a yard, roundhouse, coal and water towers, covering a significant amount of ground. The railway's owners also acquired virtually all the land in a box formed by what is now Prince of Wales Drive, Colonnade Road, Merivale Road and McFarlane Road. Most of this land was slated for a huge townsite project. In 1916 the Ottawa-Sudbury section opened completing the entire Montreal-Vancouver mainline.
Only a year later, the railway was crushed by the financial strain of it's exorbitant construction costs, over zealous expansion into already saturated markets, and an ailing WWI economy. The Government of Canada took over the operation of the railway under the Canadian National banner. In 1919 the competing Grand Trunk Railway also went bankrupt soon after the completion of it's transcontinental line. Also taken over by the government, it's operations were formally merged into CN's by 1923.
Before this time rationalization had already begun with the removal of duplicate routes and services. An early victim was the complex at Rideau which except for the yard, was demolished. It was much more cost effective to use the GTR roundhouse on Mann Avenue in Ottawa East rather than the one in what was then a rural area. In 1924 sections of the Ottawa-Toronto line were abandoned until 1937 when only the Napanee-Ottawa stretch remained. 1938 saw the yards removed at what was now known as Federal, the name the junction carries to this day.
Today VIA uses the last remaining section of the Toronto line, taking a shortcut on CP at Smiths Falls to the double track mainline of the former GTR in Brockville. The Ottawa Central Railway operates a daily train to Pembroke on the former transcontinental line. The demolished ruins have been overgrown for 85 years, with much of the land being developed, except for, that is, the area of the roundhouse and turntable.
The circular pit of the turntable may look like a pond at first, but upon closer inspection you will see the walls and stand in the centre for the turntable. Northeast of the turntable the rounhouse stall pits radiate outward towards Hunt Club Road. Across Hunt Club you might see the filled-in foundations of a concrete hopper. Coal cars were placed on a small bridge here and dumped into a conveyor. The coal was stored in a huge overhead structure above 2 tracks to the south of the hopper where it would be dropped into the tender of steam locomotives.
Big box stores and car dealerships are the order of he day close by. Expect to see it go within 10 years.

Bubbles is a fictional character in the television series Trailer Park Boys. The character is portrayed by Mike Smith. Bubbles is one of the three main protagonists on the show along with Ricky and Julian. He was created by series creator Mike Clattenburg. Bubbles also appears in three feature-length films: Trailer Park Boys: The Movie (2006), Countdown to Liquor Day (2009), and Don't Legalize It (2014). Bubbles also appears in numerous spin-offs, including Out of the Park: Europe, Out of the Park: USA, and The Animated Series, voiced by Mike Smith.

Character biography

Bubbles is the youngest primary character, Julian and Ricky's closest friend, and the series' breakout character. In the first season, like most of the characters in the show, Bubbles maintains a somewhat-reserved demeanour to look good on camera. As the series progresses, he reveals many sides to his personality.

Bubbles' full name is never revealed, and he is simply referred to by hospitals, courts, and other officials as "Bubbles." A Haligonian, he is known for his hoarse Maritimer English, sensitive nature, pearl snap shirts, and thick glasses that magnify his eyes to a considerable degree. These glasses are likely due to aphakia, a condition where the lens in one's eye is missing and that is known for requiring glasses of that strength. Bubbles has never been seen without his glasses, even while sleeping, and in photographs of him as a child.

The episode "Propane, Propane" reveals that Bubbles may be legally blind, as he cannot see how many fingers are held up directly before his face by a truck-driving instructor who admonishes him for not being able to see "jack shit".

Bubbles often acts as the Boys' conscience and tries to be the voice of reason during their misadventures. He is intelligent and has a larger general knowledge than most of the other residents, displaying knowledge of Greek philosophy, classical literature, as well as a strong interest in spaceflight and rocket science, which results in one special episode in which he and the Boys meet Canadian astronaut Commander Chris Hadfield and participate in a spaceflight training simulation. Bubbles regularly chastises Julian and Ricky for being "drunk and on drugs," although he also occasionally consumes marijuana and alcohol (the latter usually when he is depressed). Bubbles gets upset whenever Ricky and Julian fight and he is often forced to act as a peacemaker between the two in such scenarios. He also believes in (and harbors a fear of) Sasquatches (which he calls "samsquanches").

When he was age 6, Bubbles' parents fled the trailer park to escape debt collectors, and he was placed with Julian's grandmother. Bubbles lives in a tool shed with his numerous cats, who are his only family. In Don't Legalize It he acquires a school bus that he inherited from his parents, although it isn't shown or mentioned again by Season 8. Bubbles has taken it upon himself to care for every stray cat in Sunnyvale, including a mountain lion he named Steve French ("If You Love Something, Set It Free").

At the beginning of the series, he makes his living by salvaging shopping carts, repairing them, and selling them back to stores. In later seasons, he attempts to start various legitimate enterprises, which are always promptly usurped by the Boys as fronts for illegal operations and ultimately destroyed. Despite this, he is usually willing to partake in the Boys' various get-rich-quick schemes with only mild objections, because he considers Ricky and Julian to be his only family other than his "kitties." While Bubbles isn't always spared the consequences for their activities (especially in later seasons), he usually is able to escape jail time because Ricky and Julian often cover up his involvement in their schemes when facing arrest. However, Bubbles gets arrested at the end of Season 4 after he was caught driving with a fake license as part of a scheme. He also brings heat upon himself and Julian and Ricky in Season 7, after stealing Patrick Swayze's personal model train while in Maine to arrange a drug deal with singer Sebastian Bach. The theft leads to a $50,000 reward for Bubbles, causing Jim Lahey (at that point reinstated as police officer) to violate their peace treaty to make an attempt to arrest the Boys in the hopes of getting the reward.

Although his life is not always easy, Bubbles takes great pride in being a self-made man and prefers his simple life of independence to any offer of free lodging from his friends. Bubbles has a sentimental, kind nature and often cries when threatened, upset, or moved by kind gestures. The episode "Dear Santa Claus, Go Fuck Yourself" reveals that Julian's grandmother promised Bubbles' parents that Julian would always look after him.

Bubbles dislikes violence and firearms and is often appalled at the dangerous situations that Ricky and Julian get themselves into, but when he is forced into a shootout his firearms of choice are Ak-47 variants, such as the Galil MAR and Type 56 assault rifle. Bubbles' wrestling alter-ego is the "Green Bastard". His favorite band is Rush, and was Alex Lifeson's guitar tech at a concert.

Conky

Conky is a  ventriloquist puppet that Bubbles allegedly received from a family member who used him in vaudeville times. Conky wears a sweater over a flannel shirt and large glasses similar to Bubbles. Bubbles treats Conky as a trusted friend, but bestows him with a caustic, annoying, and domineering personality. Conky tends to insult people, especially Ricky; his utterances even shock Bubbles himself. Not long after Bubbles created Conky, Ricky and Julian stole Conky and threw him into the local swamp because they were tired of "his" insults and worried about Bubbles' sanity.

In Season 4 Episode 5, they must recover Conky to convince Bubbles to go to the hospital to have an infected tooth treated. Conky immediately resumes insulting Ricky and bullying Bubbles. After convincing Ricky not to shoot Conky, Julian shoots Conky "dead," demolishing the puppet's face. Julian and Ricky dispose of the remains in the swamp as a distraught Bubbles looks on.

At the end of Season 7, a stressed-out Bubbles retrieves and restores Conky. During this time, it is implied that Conky might have his own sentient consciousness, as he calls the police on the boys while everyone, including Bubbles, is seemingly asleep. Eventually, Bubbles realizes that he needs to lose Conky for good and "drowns" him. Conky reappears briefly in Season 8, but is not seen nor heard from again afterwards.

In Season 7 Episode 9, Bubbles tells how his grandfather, a vaudeville ventriloquist, left Conky to him. This could be a retcon for Conky's origin or an indication of Conky's warping influence on Bubbles' sense of reality.

Looper described Conky as the most divisive character in the series.

Reception and legacy

American musician Axl Rose has been described as a big fan of the series and of Bubbles. Axl brought the character's actor, Mike Smith, on tour with him.

In 2005, Mike Smith in character as Bubbles, along with Robb Wells and John Paul Tremblay as Ricky and Julian, threw out the first pitch at the home opener of the 2005 Toronto Blue Jays season at the Rogers Centre. A Trailer Park Boys-themed restaurant was opened in Halifax, Nova Scotia called Bubbles Mansion. It was partly owned by Mike Smith and closed in 2010.

UAE climate minister outlines top threats as Abu Dhabi hosts the Middle East's first Ocean Summit
Published Wed, Mar 6 2019 7:22 AM EST Updated Wed, Mar 6 2019 7:28 AM EST
Natasha Turak@NatashaTurak
Abu Dhabi is hosting the sixth annual World Ocean Summit this week, drawing attention to the efforts the small Gulf emirate is making to combat climate change and the growing threat it poses to the region.
It's the first time the event, part of the Economist Group's World Ocean Initiative, is being hosted in the Middle East.
The UAE is classified as among the countries with the highest vulnerabilities to climate change in the world.
UAE has done a lot in sustainability development, environment minister says
It's the first time the event, part of the Economist Group's World Ocean Initiative, is being hosted in the Middle East, a region known more for its fossil fuel industry than its environmental advocacy.
Thani Al Zeyoudi, the United Arab Emirates' minister of climate change and environment, wants to change that image. He's lauded the event as proof that his country, and the wider Gulf region, can play a leading role in combating threats to the world's seas.
"We're sending a message to the region and the world that the ocean has been and will continue always to be an integral part of our economy and our society," he told CNBC's Dan Murphy Tuesday, emphasizing the event's theme of "building bridges."
"Governments cannot do it alone, NGOs (non-governmental organization) cannot do it alone. We have to work together and we have to bring the private sector on board with us."
Rising sea levels threaten UAE population
Now a global maritime transport and trade hub, the UAE has come a long way from its humble beginnings as a small scattering of fishing villages in just the last 50 years. The blue economy, which encompasses fisheries, maritime transport, renewable energy and tourism, now comprises 68 percent of the UAE's gross domestic product, Al Zeyoudi said.
In addition to presenting myriad investment opportunities, the health of the ocean is of existential importance to the low-lying country of nearly 10 million. The UAE is classified as among the countries with the highest vulnerabilities to climate change in the world, along with numerous others along the Indian Ocean rim and small island nations in the Indian and Pacific Oceans.
"Any sea level rise is going affect a huge part of our coastal areas. Almost 80 percent of our population is living in coastal areas, so their communities are going to be destroyed," the minister said.

A 2010 report by the Stockholm Environment Institute found that the UAE "could lose up to 6 percent of its populated and developed coastline by the end of the century " due to rising sea levels, as reported on the UAE's official government portal. Ninety percent of the country's infrastructure sits along its coastal areas.
Al Zeyoudi also pointed to water scarcity and biodiversity degradation.
"Water scarcity here in the region and the droughts is affecting most of the sectors, especially agriculture, so that is why most of our food is imported from abroad," he said. The UAE imports an estimated 87 percent of its food, which presents massive issues for food security.
"Climate change is affecting our biodiversity, and with such harsh weather conditions and lack of water, this means that the biodiversity destruction is happening much faster than any other countries around the world."
The UAE is a signatory to the Paris Climate Accords, and in 2017 ratified its commitment to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, pledging to reduce fossil fuel-based power production and increasing renewable energy use to 27 percent of its total energy mix by 2021. Its state investment vehicle Mubadala, tasked with aiding the country's mission toward economic diversification, has already embarked on landmark renewable energy investments in recent years.
And the UAE won praise as home to the Middle East's most sustainable cities in a 2016 Sustainable Cities Index by consultancy firm Arcadis, with Dubai and Abu Dhabi coming in first and second place for the region, respectively, and Dubai coming in at 52nd place globally.
