Aircel & RCOM steering towards liquidation, resulting in Rs 60,000 crore NPA for Indian and Foreign Banks
According to experts, based on the NCLAT Judgement, the Resolution Plan of UV Asset Reconstruction Company Ltd. (UVARCL) for Aircel, which was approved in June 2020, will be unworkable and the company will be heading for liquidation, resulting in zero recovery for Rs 18,000 crore owed to the lenders.
April 19, 2021, 10:18 IST
The National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) ruling of last week in the Aircel vs Department of Telecommunications (DOT) case has cast a shadow on the resolution plans of Aircel and Reliance Communication Ltd. (RCOM).
The biggest loss will be State Bank of India of Rs 5,000 crore followed by Bank of Baroda, Canara Bank, Punjab National Bank and China Development Bank.
UVARCL is also the successful bidder for the assets of RCOM and RTL, which primarily include spectrum and real estate.
NCLAT in its last week's judgment has stated that spectrum can be sold under the insolvency process only after the government dues are cleared. It has also held that Spectrum cannot be treated as a 'security interest' by the lenders. However, the Tribunal held that the Government is an operational creditor.
In the matter of Ghanashyam Mishra and Sons Private Ltd. Vs. Edelweiss Asset Reconstruction Company Ltd, the Supreme Court has held that operational creditors can not claim any amount over and above the Resolution Plan as approved by Committee of Creditors (COC).
It is clear that DoT as an operational creditor can not recover any AGR dues ahead of financial creditors. Aircel and RCOM owe Rs 12,389 crore and Rs 26,000 crore respectively to the DOT as AGR dues.
The NCLAT judgement will also have an impact on the debt resolution of Reliance Communication Ltd (RCOM) and Reliance Telecom Ltd (RTL) as well. The Resolution Plan of RCOM and RTL was duly approved by 100 per cent of lenders and is awaiting approval of NCLT, Mumbai since March 2020.
Liquidation of RCOM and RTL will result in loss of Rs 40,000 crore to 38 Lenders, Chinese Banks led by China Development Bank will lose Rs 9,000 crore, SBI - Rs 3,000 crore, and LIC - Rs 3,700 crore.
According to sources, the Committee of Creditors for Aircel and RCOM is going to appeal before the Apex court and vigorously fight for favourable judgement of the apex court.

MIL-OSI Global: Could a few state legislatures choose the next president?
Source: The Conversation – USA – By Austin Sarat, Associate Provost and Associate Dean of the Faculty and Cromwell Professor of Jurisprudence and Political Science, Amherst College
State legislatures could face legal and perhaps even state constitutional crises after Election Day, if they're pressured to change how they traditionally allocate electoral votes.
Recent media reports indicate that Trump's campaign is considering asking some of the 29 state legislatures with Republican majorities, in charge of a total of 300 electoral votes, to depart from current practice in choosing their Electoral College delegates. The request would be for those bodies to select Trump electors and order them to cast their ballots for the president, regardless of the candidate the states' voters actually preferred. A similar possibility arose in 2000, when the Republican majority in the state's legislature claimed to possess "broad authority to allocate Florida's electoral votes," and came close to doing so.
As a student of American democratic politics, I believe that while there are some legal barriers that could limit the ability of legislative bodies to disregard popular vote totals in the allocation of their electoral votes, the most important constraints would be political.
A president picked this way by state legislatures would likely have his legitimacy questioned – and the legislatures would also likely face the public's ire.
A base in the Constitution
In the 1860 presidential election, Massachusetts voters were told the names of the electors they were choosing to represent them.

Article II of the U.S. Constitution leaves decisions about how electors will be chosen to state legislatures: "Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress."
In the country's early years, some legislatures did not trouble themselves to involve their citizens in choosing the president. When George Washington was first elected in 1788, the legislatures of Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, New Jersey and South Carolina appointed electors directly without a popular vote. The New York state legislature did not even choose electors because lawmakers couldn't resolve the split between its two chambers, which were controlled by different parties.
The first several presidential elections followed a mixed pattern, with some states using popular elections to direct the choice of electors, while others left that choice solely to their legislatures. As political parties jockeyed for advantage, states changed their systems often.
No state legislature has ever appointed a slate of electors supporting a candidate who lost the state's popular vote. As the Supreme Court noted in the recent "faithless electors" case, by 1832, every state except South Carolina had passed legislation saying that the popular vote would determine the choice of its electors.
In 1876, newly admitted Colorado became the last state whose legislature chose electors on its own. Today the laws of every state give voters the final say about which party the electors should represent.
The Supreme Court's view
State legislatures have given up the power to choose electors, but the Supreme Court has on several occasions recognized their right to take it back.
The first decision was in 1892, when the court declared that "the legislature possesses plenary authority to direct the manner of appointment, and might itself exercise the appointing power by joint ballot or concurrence of the two houses, or according to such mode as it designated."
More than 100 years later, the court revisited the question in Bush v. Gore. In a little noticed but highly consequential passage, the majority wrote that a state legislature "may, if it so chooses, select the electors itself," and it retains authority to "take back the power to appoint electors," even if it formerly let the popular vote make the decision.
In a July 2020 decision, the Supreme Court again declared that Article II gives state legislatures "the broadest power of determination" over who becomes an elector. However, the majority opinion did suggest that power might be subject to "some other constitutional constraint."
Under the Electoral Count Act, Congress supervises the counting of the Electoral College ballots in early January after the presidential election happens.

What are the limits?
The court has declared that states have the right to take back the choice of electors from the people – but has cautioned that they may not do so easily.
When states give the voters control over electoral picks, they confer on them a "fundamental" right, which is protected by other constitutional guarantees, including the due process and equal protection clauses.
But it's not clear how strong that protection might actually be. State legislatures would almost certainly have to pass a new law or resolution to make any change. In each state, a majority of legislators would have to agree. And, depending on the form of the enactment, it might or might not be subject to a governor's approval – or a veto override.
Historically, courts have respected legislative decisions to change how a state appoints electors so long as the changes happen before the election happens, not after the ballots are cast.
[Insight, in your inbox each day. You can get it with The Conversation's email newsletter.]
A matter of timing
Post-election changes of the kind the Trump campaign is reportedly contemplating would cause confusion around two federal laws that directly contradict each other.
One law requires electors to be appointed on Election Day itself. But all states abide by another law, the Electoral Count Act, passed in 1887, which gives states up to 41 days after Election Day to designate their slate of electors. The conflict between these laws provides fertile ground for litigation.
In the end, however, the most effective forces blocking state legislatures from disregarding the popular vote may be political, rather than legal. It is, after all, up to the people to hold their officials accountable for their actions.
Yet in the country's current toxic political environment, it's not clear whether even an obvious effort to ignore the popular vote might nonetheless find support among some of the public, and some of their elected representatives too.

Since Herb Clark published his famous "Language as a fixed effect fallacy" in 1973, there has been a slow realization that standard techniques, such as ANOVA, are the wrong tools for the jobs that most psychologists tackle. The basic problem is that most psychological questions involve generalization beyond a sample of people and beyond a sample of stimuli.
Psychologists often average over the effects of their various stimuli, not realizing that they should be including variability due to stimuli in their analyses. In short, researchers are asking a question about a population of stimuli ("Do these types of stimuli have different effects?" — maybe, maybe not); but they are answering a question about a sample of stimuli ("do these 10 stimuli have different effects from these other 10?" — almost surely). This problem contributes to both false positives and low replicability in many areas of research, including linguistics, memory and neuroimaging.
To combat this common problem, many psychologists now use linear mixed models as part of their statistical toolkit. Mixed models allow accounting for of multiple sources of variability simultaneously (see Dirk Janssen's 2012 tutorial in the Psychonomic Society's journal Behavior Research Methods). Mixed models also handle unbalanced designs with ease, and are flexible enough to include continuous predictors and correlations between effects beyond what a typical repeated measures ANOVA can handle.
One of the most common software packages used for mixed modelling is Douglas Bates' lme4 package for R, which provides an easy-to-use interface for estimation and inference. Readers unfamiliar with lme4 may wish to consult the highly accessible tutorial paper in the Journal of Memory and Language by Baayen, Davidson, and Bates.
Of course, there's no particular reason why a researcher needs an exact p value; many scientists are happy interpreting the size of effect relative to its standard error (in this case, the t statistic). Physicists, for instance, speak of "five sigma" effects, which means that the observed effect was five times the standard error. The question is: can you predictably and repeatedly find an effect that is many standard errors away from a hypothesized value, in a particular direction?
The figure below shows the default output from lme4, which includes estimates, standard errors, and t values, but no p values.
But current reporting standards are what they are in psychology, and people want p values. In a recent article in the Psychonomic Society's journal Behavior Research Methods, Steven Luke reviews the ways of obtaining p values with an lme4 analysis. As Bates points out, there are multiple ways of doing this, but this is beyond the concern of most users of linear mixed models. What users want to know is: if they use a particular method, will the p values lead to wrong inferences? Luke evaluates a number of methods and finds that 1) they all perform reasonably similarly, 2) almost all yield slightly, but not substantially, inflated Type I error error rates (up to 8% when using p<.05 as a criterion).
Luke's work is useful for a number of reasons: first, it provides a summary of the methods in one location. References to these methods can be found scattered across various articles, software packages or blog posts, so having them in one place is handy. Second, Luke provides simulations under a number of simple designs that are typical of those used by researchers, in terms of the number of participants and items. Third, Luke provides example R code in the appendix showing how to obtain the p values, and the simulation code is available on the Open Science Framework.
Finally, Luke arrives at some general guidelines based on the simulations. Treating the t statistic as a z value — and hence using a criterion of about t>2 as the criterion for significance — was associated with a somewhat inflated Type I error rate, and hence Luke suggests this method should be avoided. The Kenward-Roger and Satterthwaite approximations, both implemented in the easy-to-use lmerTest and afex R packages, fared best. One of the advantages of lmerTest and afex is that all one has to do is load the package in R, and the output of lmer is automatically updated to include the p values. For the user of linear mixed effect models, such transparency is a boon.
To illustrate, the figure below shows the output after loading the lmerTest package. A linear mixed model analyses using lmer will automatically include p values computed via the Satterthwaite approximation.
R code for the article discussed in this post can be downloaded from the Open Science Framework.

QOBUZ SPONSOR MERCURY KX ARTIST SHOWCASE AT SXSW ONLINE 2021
Qobuz, the hi-res streaming platform of SXSW, is sponsoring the Mercury KX artist showcase at SXSW Online 2021.
MERCURY KX ARTIST SHOWCASE
Mercury KX is a London-based record label that features a diverse selection of genre-defying artists, such as Ólafur Arnalds, Anoushka Shankar, and Keaton Henson, who are crafting distinctive new music at the fringes of classical, alternative, and electronic music.
SXSW ONLINE 2021
The showcase will feature a series of performances by Mercury KX artists Sebastian Plano, Lambert, Luke Howard, and Sophie Hutchings. The artist's performance will kick off the music programme each day at SXSW Online 2021 starting from 17th – 20th March at 12.30 pm CDT/5.30 pm GMT. Watch on the Mercury KX YouTube channel.
SXSW ONLINE SET TIMES:
Sebastian Plano – Wednesday 17th March 12.30pm CDT/5.30pm GMT
Sebastian Plano is an Argentinian composer, producer and musician. His Grammy nominated album Verve, released in 2019, was highly acclaimed internationally. Plano began playing the cello at age 7 and his approach to electronic music is intrinsically linked to his years of playing chamber and orchestral music. Plano mixes electronics and acoustic instruments into large ensemble pieces to create his unique sound. Uncut noted, "Plano plucks heartstrings as effectively as his cello strings."
Sophie Hutchings – Thursday 18th March 12.30pm CDT/5.30pm GMT
Composer and pianist Sophie Hutchings spent a lot of her childhood outdoors by the ocean. Sophie's music, influenced by the almost otherworldly effect of that natural landscape on her psyche, is ruminative and dreamy, and has been described by The Guardian as exuding, "an intimate, contemplative quality; sometimes melancholic, often with an exhilarating beauty." Scattered On The Wind, her first album for Mercury KX, released in April 2020, is an elegant and transcendent meditation on "surrendering to the unknown, trusting that things will align."
Lambert – Friday 19th March 12.30pm CDT/5.30pm GMT
Enigmatic composer and pianist Lambert always performs wearing a Sardinian bull mask. Lambert's own sonic language is influenced as much by pop music and wider culture as it is by elements of contemporary classical music. His latest album False, released in November 2020, features 14 different collaborations and is his most diverse album yet. Clash noted, "False is one of those albums that manages to distil pop culture whilst taking elements from the classical world to create something mesmeric and enticing."
Luke Howard – Saturday 20th March 12.30pm CDT/5.30pm GMT
Australian Music Prize long-listed composer Luke Howard has scored films and performed with artists as diverse as Lior and Jeff Mills. He released his third solo album, Open Heart Story, in 2018, which explores fragmented relationships, childhood memories and the passage of time. Howard composed music for the short film The Sand That Ate The Sea (winner of the 2020 APRA/AGSC Award for Best Music for a Short Film), the theatre work The Shadow Whose Prey the Hunter Becomes (Back To Back Theatre), and has also written pieces for The Royal Ballet at Covent Garden and Atlanta Ballet. His music has been described as "absolutely heavenly" by Mary Anne Hobbs, BBC Radio 6.
Spotify HiFi Announced
Streaming service Spotify has said that both artists and fans have told them that sound quality is important to them. For that reason, they have announced Spotify HiFi. Beginning later this year, Premium subscribers in 'select markets', we don't know where yet, will be able to upgrade their sound quality to Spotify HiFi Spotify HiFi Spotify says that high-quality music…

When moving from one platform to another, many concerns come to bear for the company with the burden of migrating. This is something we have over two decades of experience with and have seen every possible problem occur and have learned the hard lessons experience teaches. It is important to consider 4 points when migrating and each takes a particular skill and plan for managing as seamlessly as possible.
In some way this is the most straightforward, but in others it is the easiest to fall short on. In almost every case, the data in the retiring system is it's greatest asset, and getting all the data into the new system is the most important step. We have migrated from virtually every sort of system and have see it all. We have gone from VAX mainframe systems, Excel spreadsheets, web based applications with and without API's and even migrated a client from typewriters and three part carbon forms.
Each legacy system has it's own hurdles and it's own techniques for overcoming them.
These rules need to be discovered, documented and mirrored in a way that preserves the workflow that has helped your business succeed and flourish. Business look for a new solution because they've run into the limits of an old system. That doesn't mean there isn't wisdom in it, and we need to capture that wisdom.
A system is only as useful as the information it gives you. While this isn't a hard and fast rule, it certainly reflects a kernel of truth. Management needs updated, customers need informed, staff needs information to do their work and it all has to be communicated to the teams doing each part of the work. All this happens because the data going into the system comes out again somewhere else. We understand this, and while paperless is a great goal, it isn;t the same as not having any output at all. Emailed updates, screen reports, text alerts and even printed reports all speak to the end goal of every system. While reports often get built last, they need discovered first. The old rule of Garbage in, garbage out is meant as a warning, well the inverse is a better guide for system design, If you want elegant insight out, you'll only get it by planning for a mirrored elegant plan for the data to match.
If the best system in the world isn;t embraced and welcomed by the users, it'll languish and rot.
All too often the IT world can be fairly accused of thinking of the users last. That is a image we strive every day to turn around. We consider the users from day one. We gather user stories to tell us what the end user needs to and wants to accomplish. We ask why the old system didn't work, and even more importantly, why it did. And we build tools that users h find intuitive through years of working not only with IT and management, but end users.

Pop Smoke's Family Releases Statement About His Death
February 28, 2020	by Kellie Williams	in Music	with 0 Comments
Pop Smoke (real name Bashar Barakah Jackson) releases a statement about his tragic death. Today (Feb. 28th) Pop Smoke's family shared a short statement, thanking fans for their support, noting that there are no public details that they can share about his death. They also asked for respectful reporting. The statement reads,
The family of Bashar 'Pop Smoke' Jackson would like to express our sincere gratitude to everyone for your support. Every prayer, call, and act of kindness is deeply appreciated as we mourn the loss of our son, brother and friend. Brooklyn knew him as Bashar. He was educated and nurtured in Brooklyn and his rise to fame all developed from the place he proudly represented. Within the last year, his extraordinary giftedness was revealed to the world, introducing Pop Smoke. Unfortunately, there are no public details available regarding the murder of our loved one. We ask for respect and responsible reporting during this critical time. Inaccurate reports only add unnecessary pain to a grieving family.
Pop Smoke died on February 19, 2020, after being shot twice during a home invasion in Hollywood Hills, California. The home was reportedly owned by Real Housewives of Atlanta cast member Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave.
According to authorities, four hooded men entered the home at about 4:30 AM on Wednesday, February 19, 2020, one of them wearing a ski mask and carrying a handgun. Police received news of the home invasion from someone calling from the East Coast. Police arrived at the home six minutes later and found Pop Smoke with multiple gunshot wounds. He was taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead. On February 21, 2020, The Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner-Coroner revealed that the cause of Pop Smoke's death was a gunshot wound to the chest. Four suspects fled the scene but have not been apprehended.
No additional details about the investigation have been released.

A personal laser printer is now a pretty straightforward thing. All the technology was worked out years ago and although there are refinements, the only way you can continue to attract new buyers is to reduce the price. Canon's Laser Shot LBP-1120 is a personal laser with a very reasonable asking price of around £100. At this price level it's aiming at the one-per-desk business market, but also at the home, where people may consider a laser printer for regular correspondence and a colour ink-jet for the fancy stuff.
The LBP-1120 has a conventional 'bread bin' design, with a curved front and top surface and paper feeding from a near-vertical slot at the back of the machine's top cover. It feeds through and around the drum and exits from a second slot, at the front of the top cover. There's a switch on the front panel, which diverts pages to an alternative paper-up output, though this is directly onto the desktop. A multi-purpose feed, for envelopes and special media, sits directly in front of the main feed slot.
Canon quotes the feed tray as holding 125 sheets of paper, which is modest even for a personal laser, but when you take into account that this is for 65gsm paper, which is very thin, you realise it's likely to take less than 100 sheets of normal 80gsm copier paper. If you print with it regularly, you're likely to have to keep on restocking the bin.
This kind of hidden specification pops up again in the quoted resolution of the LBP-1120. It's said to be 2,400 x 600dpi, but when you look at the spec sheet more closely, you see the 2,400dpi is the result of print enhancement software and that the optical resolution is a straight 600dpi.
There are no controls on the printer at all and just a single blue indicator to show when it's powered up and receiving data. It's entirely controlled through software and even dispenses with most of its internal memory by using innovative file compression techniques as its driver sends page data through to the printer engine.
Installing the integrated drum and toner unit is very straightforward. The curved top cover of the printer hinges forwards and you slide the unit directly into the heart of the machine.
That's the only physical setup you need, other than to connect a power cable and a USB 2.0 lead which, unusually, you do before installing the Canon software driver. Installation of the driver from the supplied CD is again very easy and requires little technical knowledge.

Congratulations goes to the new 400m IM world record holder Katie Hoff. Without a doubt, some credit goes to the low-drag Speedo LZR Racer Swimsuit she was wearing. Nevertheless, she is a powerful swimmer.
The important questions to ask are this fair and is she any faster than a swimmer 20 years ago not using this swimsuit?
Since technology continues improve, I doubt that her record will stand very long. You can only push the human body to certain limits. All other records in the past 20 years were the result of some advancement in science whether that's in a form of Speedo LZR swimsuit or some other enhancement.
But what other alternatives do athletes have? We can't have them racing around naked can we? This of course would yield the true measure of the human body and we would have records that only the brave and modest would attain.
But I doubt that we would see Katie Hoff or any other swimmer in this form outside of Naked Olympics. While her record stands for the moment, it will not last long and will be broken again this summer in China.

The NaC- L-ST superfamily contains a large number of scorpion-derived peptide toxins. These are tabulated below with descriptions. They include the well-characterized scorpion α- and β-toxins that act on tetrodotoxin-inhibitable, voltage-gated Na+ channels (TC #1.A.1.10). While the α-toxins (e.g., from Buthinea venom) prolong the Na+-inactivation phase of the activated action potential-causing channels, thereby blocking neuronal transmission, the β-toxins (e.g., from Centrurinae sculpturatus venom) affect the Na+-activation phase. These toxins are derived from a variety of scorpions. They can affect both insect and mammalian Na+ channel activities (Tian et al., 2007).
In many cases the details of their toxic actions are known. β-scorpion toxin, for example, targets neurotoxin receptor site 4 in Na+ channels and induces a negative shift in the voltage dependence of activation through a voltage sensor-trapping mechanism (Cestèle et al., 2006). A single organism may produce many of these toxins, some closely related, others more distantly related. This superfamily includes hundreds of sequenced members as revealed by PSI-BLAST searches with six iterations, some of which are reported to be non-toxic. They are usually characterized by four disulfide bridges, but some have three or five.
Among scorpion species, the Buthidae produce the most deadly and painful venoms. A pain-inducing α-toxin (CvIV4) was isolated from the venom of Centruroides vittatus and tested on five Na+ channel isoforms (Rowe et al. 2011). CvIV4 slowed the fast inactivation of Na(v)1.7 (TC# 1.A.1.10.5), a Na+ channel expressed in peripheral pain-pathway neurons (nociceptors), but did not affect the Na(v)1.8-based sodium currents of these neurons (TC# 1.A.1.10.6). CvIV4 also slowed the fast inactivation of Na(v)1.2, Na(v)1.3 and Na(v)1.4. The effects of CvIV4 are similar to Old World α-toxins that target Na(v)1.7 (AahII, BmK MI, LqhIII, OD1), but the primary sequence of CvIV4 is not similar to these toxins. Mutant Na(v)1.7 channels (D1586A and E1589Q, DIV S3-S4 linker) reduced but did not abolish the effects of CvIV4.

Video: Kevin Love scores first basket in almost two months
Rexwell Villas
The Cleveland Cavaliers receive a shot in the arm Monday night against the Milwaukee Bucks with Kevin Love returning to the defending Eastern Conference champions' fold.
Love has missed a total of 21 games since suffering a hand injury during a Jan. 30 game against the Detroit Pistons on the road, but did not seem to lose his feathery touch from long range despite the long absence. In fact, the first basket he drilled in almost two months came via a three-point shot off a sweet find from LeBron James.
Kevin Love was inserted right away into the starting lineup by the Cavaliers, who have become paper thin in the frontcourt with Tristan Thompson and Larry Nance Jr. out with respective lower-body injuries. Apart from Thompson and Nance, the Cavs are also without Cedi Osman (hip) and Rodney Hood (back).
With a number of shelved players for the Cavs, Love's return surely will help mitigate the impact of the shorter rotation the team is operating with for the meantime. Love also played earlier than his target date of Mar. 23, and the decision for him to come back sooner than that probably had something to do with all the hurting bodies on the Cavs' roster.
Before going down with a broken hand, Love was averaging 17.9 points and 9.4 rebounds, while also shooting 46.3 percent from the field and 40.4 percent from behind the arc.
Love and the Cavs are currently sitting on the third spot in the Eastern Conference standings with a 40-29 record, and they could create some breathing space between them and the Washington Wizards (40-29) and the Indiana Pacers (40-30) with a win tonight against the Bucks.
JUST IN: Is Jordan Clarkson the Cavaliers' future starting point guard?

Steven Pressley believed this afternoon's stalemate against Shrewsbury Town at Highbury was a lesson for his younger players.
The Cod Army made six changes to the side that lost on penalties to Barnsley on Thursday night, with new signings Alex Kiwomya and Devante Cole handed their full home debuts.
Stephen Jordan, Tyler Forbes, David Ball and Ash Hunter were also drafted in, as Town had to deal with a number of injuries.
After the game, Pressley said: "I'm disappointed because I spoke beforehand about the need to win the game. It was there for all to see just how depleted the squad is right now.
"We're missing a lot of players and had to accommodate that by playing the likes of Conor McLaughlin in the middle of the pitch.
"We had to make a number of changes and Stephen Jordan made his first appearance in a number of games.
"We missed four regular players today, and when you're running with a paper thin squad it's a big ask.
"I asked a lot from our younger players today but in reflection the one thing I must say is that they need to grow up quickly.
"They need to understand the importance of these games and the importance of small details of responsibility.
"Shrewsbury had two or three big moments that they should have capitalised on, but in terms of territorial advantage we had that but didn't create enough moments.

Recorded Matter: Ceramics in Motion
Past Exhibitions / By Beth Ann Gerstein

Exhibition Dates: October 8, 2016–February 26, 2017.
Opening Reception: Saturday, October 8, 2016. 5-8 PM.
Curator's Talk: Saturday, October 8, 2016. With Garth Johnson, Curator.
Opening Reception and Lecture are free and open to the public.
Recorded Matter: Ceramics in Motion, features twelve, internationally-based ceramic artists integrating video into their studio practice. Organized and curated by Garth Johnson, Arizona State University Art Museum Ceramics Research Center Curator.
With the dawn of social media comes a new generation of artists who grasp the power of video not just as a tool to document process, but as an inextricable element of their work. Recorded Matter is an exploration of the range of expression that video offers – from viral videos showing artworks being used (or more often, abused) to mysterious inquiries into material and philosophical properties of clay.
Asked to reflect on the genesis of the exhibition, Johnson remarked, "I honestly don't think that this exhibition would have happened if it weren't for social media. A new generation of artists has emerged that innately know how to use video to tell their story."
Physical objects accompany several of the videos showcased in the exhibition. One of the most powerful examples is Recycled China by Thomas Schmidt and Jeffrey Miller, who are both Americans who taught and made work in China. During their time together in China, Schmidt and Miller started crushing cast-off plates (taken from the virtually limitless supply in the porcelain capitol of Jingdezhen) with a steamroller. The crushed porcelain shards were then taken to an industrial foundry and smothered in molten aluminum. The resulting tiles are both mysterious and ethereal – delicate porcelain shards are suspended like sedimentary rocks in a primal, metallic ooze. The 5-channel video of their process recently helped win a Bronze Prize in the Korean Gyeonggi Ceramic Biennial, perhaps the most prestigious exhibition of its kind. Schmidt is a North Carolina-based artist currently teaching at University of North Carolina, Charlotte. Click here to read a recent article in Ceramics Monthly.
There are other videos that are self-contained. This Amorphous Moment, by Philadelphia-based artist Jason Lee Starin is an extreme close up of pair of hands squeezing and kneading clay, illuminated only by flickering firelight. Without using any narrative structure, Starin's video conveys the primal qualities that have attracted humans to clay over the millennia.
On the other end of the spectrum is Cheyenne Chapman Rudolph, a Florida-based artist who has connected the rich history of single-function ceramic objects (such as pickle stands and salt cellars) and their modern-day equivalent, the As Seen on TV gadget. For her graduate thesis at University of Florida, Miller created a device to help people in white pantsuits from staining them while eating green peas. The resulting contraption, Center-Peas is accompanied by an infomercial featuring the artist as pitchwoman, out to convince late-night viewers that thanks to Center-Peas, their "pea mess" problems are a thing of the past.
Featured artists include: Jonah Amadeus, Sam Brennan, Forrest Sincoff Gard, Ben Harle, Jo Kamm, Roberto Lugo, Jeffrey Miller and Thomas Schmidt, Cheyenne Chapman Rudolph, Jason Lee Starin, Eva Vogelsang and Man Yau.
This exhibition is supported by the Urban Foundation #4, in memory of Danny Greenlaw and Brooks Collins.
We're live now!

Republicans fight VS with abuse abuse
World November 13, 2017 19:33
washington - The Republicans in the US struggle with a fellow around the controversial Senate candidate Roy Moore. The Republican Senate leader, Mitch McConnell, called on Moore to withdraw on Monday. The candidate pointed out that McConnell could get better on his own.
The extremely conservative Moore is under fire because of allegations of cross-border behavior. He would have assaulted a fourteen-year-old girl for decades ago. 'I believe the women,' said McConnell Monday. 'I think he should take a step aside. '
That fell bad at Moore, who went back on Twitter. 'The person who has to step aside is Mitch McConnell. He has abandoned the conservatives and has to be replaced, 'wrote the politician, who hopes to arrive on behalf of the state of Alabama in the Senate.
Moore also does not seem to want to know any neighborhoods. He said earlier that his opponents were 'desperate' and said that the inhabitants of his state 'will see this charade'.

Hopkinsville Museums receives grant for New Era-Wood Family Archive Project
By Avery Seeger New Era staff writer
aseeger
Museums of Historic Hopkinsville-Christian County announced that it was recently awarded a $2,500 grant from the Kentucky Historical Society to help the museums with its new Kentucky New Era-Wood Family Archive Project.
Hopkinsville Museums was one of four recipients of the Kentucky Local History Trust Fund grant through the Kentucky Historical Society.
The grant is intended to support the efforts of local history organizations to preserve and share Kentucky stories, according to the Kentucky Historical Society.
Historical organizations in four Kentucky counties received grants through the program, rewarding a total of $5,875 between the four counties. Each county could apply and receive between $335 to $2,500, for projects related to technology updates and programming.
Christian County and the Hopkinsville Museums was one of those four counties and received the max amount of $2,500.
Museums Executive Director Alissa Keller shared that the grant funds will be used to help the museums with its Kentucky New Era-Wood Family Archive Project.
"We are so grateful for this opportunity in general, for the Kentucky Local History Trust Fund to be established," Keller said of receiving the grant.
"We are just tickled to death that we are able to receive some of this funding, receive that support, not just locally, but statewide on this project and gives us the opportunity to house and preserve local history and regional history — state history even, through these newspapers."
The project will establish a climate-controlled repository in the basement of the Pennyroyal Area Museum to house the extensive collection of the Kentucky New Era newspaper and some of its contemporaries, such as the Kentuckian, which was produced in the late 1800s and early 1900s.
"We'll have all those here, so that gives us a chance to put all the newspapers in one spot and make an archive that honors our legacy of local newspapers and local journalists as well as the Wood family," Keller said.
"Because, the Wood family bought into the Kentucky New Era I think in the early 1870s and was then involved up to 2018. So, it's a way to honor their legacy and news here in the community. And, ideally, it'll also be a research resource for the community."

The project funds will be used to unify a scattered collection and preserve the bound volumes of the New Era newspapers.
The funding will more specifically be used to purchase shelving to hold the collection as well as archival boxes.
Keller shared that while the newspapers would be held in the basement of the Pennyroyal Area Museum, the area was not originally climate controlled.
So, the Museums purchased and installed a dehumidifier in the room to help mitigate moisture in the room that could potentially damage the archival collection.
Keller added that the room is however able to be closed and sealed, which will help further protect the newspapers.
Keller also shared that the Museums will also be purchasing a space heater to regulate the temperature in the room to allow it to be more climate-controlled.
"The paper itself is fairly unstable and it's hard to preserve, so they deteriorate quickly, and we have some that date back to the 1880s," Keller said. "So, we're going to do our best to take care of them. If the newspapers are available in a way that is not handling the originals, we're going to try to utilize that and luckily, a lot have been digitized."
Keller explained that while the archive will mainly be used to house and preserve the New Era newspapers, the public will be able to go into the archive to either observe some of the displays the Museum will have or to allow people to do research.
"We will have a display case in the room so we can put out and rotate some things in there to show off," Keller said. "We'll put some art on the walls, front pages and that kind of stuff and get copies of fun front-page stories."
However, the public will only be able to visit the archive by appointment.
"Because of where it is in the building, we can't just leave it open and that's to protect the things that are there and because, like I said, it's physical location within our structure," Keller said. "So, by appointment, we would be happy to take folks down and again, the things down there are all archival, so we don't want to just let people in there to bump through everything all the time."

Amr Waked to Make an Appearance in Wonder Woman Sequel
Amr Waked told fans on Twitter that he will be making an appearance in the much-anticipated sequel to 2017's smash-hit, Wonder Woman.
"Wait for my appearance in the superhero film 1984 (Part II), directed by Patty Jenkins, I hope you enjoy the movie" Waked announced.
انتظروا ظهوري في فيلم المرأة الخارقة ١٩٨٤ (الجزء الثاني) إخراج باتي جينكينز والمتوقع نزوله في يونيو ٢٠٢٠. يا رب يعجبكم الفيلم.
— Amr Waked (@amrwaked) November 16, 2019
This has of course opened a lot of discussions regarding the nature of his role, especially that the star hasn't yet specified the role he would be playing and so far he hasn't been credited among the cast on the IMDb page of the Wonder Woman's cast.
So will he be playing a secondary role? A main one? Or maybe in the role of a villain?? Who knows! Maybe even he'll get to kiss yet another Hollywood star!

Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly, have always astonished the world with their ways to expression of love to each other. Either in grunge appearances, or public appearances, or paying duos to each other. The ring is one of the symbols of love to each other as it knots their birthstone to each other, forming a heart. By machine gun Kelly popping the question in a striped t-shirt similarly to Travis, do you think Pete will do the same. Striking the world with rock n'roll and grunge, this couple had ravished the worried with the stunning appearances they hold on social media, or the public.
Maya Anglou an icon, Civil Rights activists, American Poet, and Memoirist. She is highly established for her autobiography "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings", in addition to her efforts with Malcom X, Martin Luther King JR, and African American Rights. She devoted herself to African Americans civil rights, moreover she is known for her quote "You may write me down in history with your bitter, twisted lies. You may trod me in the very dirt, but still, like dust, I'll rise. Does my sassiness upset you?" She is now honored for her iconic and pragmatism in the US Mint American Woman's Quarters Programme. The American public will submit names of figures they admire to be on the coin. One of the highly anticipated figures is Maya Anglou. Maya Angelou will be honored on the quarter with a bird, commemorating her achievements, and poem of "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings" the image on the coin is inspired by her poetry that she wrote will she had experienced racism. The images compel the symbolism of the way she had lived and the pain she had endured. The coin is a representation to the power of American Women and their role in society.
Harry Potter, a novel, film series and most importantly our passion for years. The series of 8 movies, written by JK Rowling, and narrating the adventure of Harry Potter and philosophers stone, to the deathly hallows. As the movie series was produced during 2001, until 2011, for ten years we grew up with the actors and saw them as our friends on the screen. We embarked on the journey of imagination, and went on swirly paths with Hogwarts, defeated Voldemort, and immersed ourselves in the whimsical world of magic. The era of Harry Potter, had left an introspective, and imaginary part in us. Either the cast, or the writer herself, this fantasy still survives within us. Harry Potter, played by Daniel Radcliffe, will be striking back in the screen in the most astonishing comeback. The cast of Harry Potter, Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint, will be debuting back at TV, in celebration of the iconic Film Series that was released back in 2001. The 20th anniversary, will get the movie back to live with the characters and cast, in an HBO Max documentary. There is a shot of cast members as they stumble in astonishment amongst the invitations to the reunion. In addition, another scene of the star walking down the Diagon alley to meet the director Chris Columbus for a moment, that routes a feeling of time passing by. In another scene, we could observe Emma Watson having a heart-to-heart conversation with Rupert Grint, at the Gryffindor fire place. The scenes imply a that a long time had passed and that the characters had matured over the ages. All in all, the time had passed and the generation had matured but Harry Potter is a series that is engraved in our hearts and memory, and JK Rowling never fails to amuse our imaginative senses.

Described as "four short plays about paranoia", The Millhous Collective's 'What, Me Worry?' at the King's Arms Salford was on the surface a great piece of fringe theatre. You cannot ignore the delightfully talented cast and a collection of writers who know how to write with their performers in mind. However, the show itself was a mish-mash of ideas and artistic license. For me, the stories had no real ties to each other, and didn't quite fit the show's thematic motif of worry and paranoia.
That said, each of the stories individually certainly had their own merits and standout points, even if the performance in my opinion lacked a creative hook to bring these narrative strands together.
Story one, "A Censorship Play", was an interesting interpretation of the wanton censorship of British cinema. This was playfully told through the story of a disenfranchised director in a war with words with a morally righteous film censor seeking to strip back a film that - by the sounds of it - was something akin to The Passion of The Christ meets The Excorsist, with a little 50 Shades of Grey in there for good measure. Despite veteran theatre performer Stewart Mathers as the visionary director stumbling his lines in part (and some overacting from his colleagues Lauryn Elise, Mia Pencavel and in some places Andrew Marsden) this was a funny, lighthearted way to welcome the audience into the show. That said, at this point I couldn't quite see the link between this sub-story and the premise of the show, which supposedly was worry and anxiety.
Story two, "No Place Like Home", was a bit more hard-hitting. Here we met a nervous recluse played fabulously by Sarah Maher. Coerced into opening the door to a runaway convict wanted by the police, you could see her growing as a character before our very eyes. Worth a mention is Keith Pennington and Helen Lewis, who played a dynamic duo of police officers as different as chalk and cheese, but who gave the audience some much needed - if ostensible - comic relief.
After a short interval - somewhat punctuated by the Act 2 cast warming up onstage - we were instantly thrown back into the tumultuous world created by the The Milhous Collective theatre group with the penultimate story of the night, "It's Good to Talk".
This third story saw the inside of a group therapy session as they anxiously awaited their missing therapy leader. While most of the characters were almost archetypal of the kind of person you'd expect to attend therapy - a cantankerous old man, a habitual obsessive compulsive cleaner and a shy, socially anxious over-thinker, anyone? - the one character played superbly by Chantelle Pierre, was a breath of fresh air amongst the almost suffocating stereotypes. All in all a good story, which saw Joshua Young take the lead as a socially awkward man who overcomes his fears by making small talk with the hostile group - although in my opinion this story is perhaps the weakest narratively of them all.
The fourth and final story, "The Twenty-Third Floor", where the magic truly happened. At first glance, this looked to be a story about two university students in London - again, as different as chalk and cheese - but the story quickly became much more than the tale of burnt Super Noodles and stories of the morning-after-the-night-before.
Emotionally and theatrically the best of the bunch, this tale was as tragic as it was unexpected, depicting the story of the Grenfell Tower disaster, as told from the point of view of a neighbouring high-rise. In parts permeated with bouts of British humour pre-tragedy, this story had it all - superb acting by Rory Cohen and Duncan McCombe, who as the story's protagonists played off each other perfectly, as well as a storyline that left a tear in my eye.
By far the most powerful and emotive section of the whole play was when the duo were facing the audience, reciting a righteously angry duologue to the sombre and reflective audience about politicians in their mansions, passing blame on a needless disaster that cost hundreds of innocent lives - whilst in the background stood the rest of the cast, silently holding up placards in silent protest for all that was lost that fateful night.
A powerful moment in a powerful story in what was for the most part a powerful performance, masterfully delivered by a theatre company with countless rising stars in its midst.
A delightful - if sometimes slightly misguided - show, which has its heart firmly in the right place.

Ever since Modi government launched one of its flagship schemes known as the Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana, a number of changes have been implemented in phases. Despite all those changes, everyone has been eyeing on one factor – what are the tax benefits that can enjoy? Well, this is a critical side of any investment and every investor thinks of this. Nonetheless, not many have actually considered the fact that even if the tax benefits are taken out of equation, the Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana still remains attractive. Exactly how does that happen? We will find out shortly but before that let's take a look at the most recent changes that have been implemented in the Yojana.
If a couple has an adopted daughter, an account can still be opened.
A girl can be a beneficiary only and only if the child is an Indian citizen.
The aforementioned changes only made the Sukanya Scheme very user-friendly. However, they aren't the most important changes. The most important change is the introduction of market-linked rates of interest. The Finance Ministry of the current government decided to allow market-linked rates of interest for all small savings schemes operational in India.
As far as the historical performance of the interest rates is considered, the Sukanya Scheme enjoyed 9.1% interest in previous financial year. As of this financial year, the April-June quarter is giving 8.6% interest. Why quarter? That's because the government has decided to change the rates based on market rates of interest every quarter.
These changes, according to Deloitte Haskins & Sells partner Divya Baweja, improve and maintain procedural efficiency of the scheme while at the same time ensuring that a girl child enjoys her financial security.
What about the taxation part we spoke in opening paragraph?
Okay, here is that part that you have been waiting for. How come taking tax benefits out of the equation still keeps Sukanya Samriddhi Scheme still attractive? For this, we need to look up at the high tax bracket people. The maximum investment for which tax exemption is allowed by 80C of IT law is INR 1.5 lakhs. Most people actually end up spending/investing that money in PPF. Some even enjoy deductions on tuition fees and home loans. So, investments in SSY may not be tax-free. But no one should forget that SSY falls in EEE category of investments. EEE means Exempt-Exempt-Exempt. This means that when withdrawals are made, no tax deductions are made. There are no taxes on interest earning during the term of the Sukanya account. So, even if someone fails to enjoy tax exemption during investment in Sukanya Scheme, he or she will still enjoy tax benefits on interest earnings as well as during withdrawal, says, certified financial planner, Mr. Suresh Sadagopan.
Considering the returns that Sukanya Scheme enjoys, the investors will always be on the winning side. As of now the returns on SSY are better that PPF by 50 basis points. This means that Sukanya Scheme is same as Senior Citizens Savings Scheme when it comes to returns. So, higher returns mean higher interest earnings during the tenure of the scheme. These earnings are tax-free by EEE rule. Eventually, when withdrawals are made, the total amount goes to the girl child instead of the withdrawal amount being clubbed to the total income of the investor (parent or legal guardian). This means that the investor actually never sees a growth in his gross income when Sukanya account reaches maturity and withdrawals are made and hence, he or she is not required to pay additional income tax.
In the beginning of this section we said that we will look up at a person who is in higher tax bracket. Let us assume that the person invests 1.5 lakhs in PPF and then another 1.5 lakhs in SSY in current April-June quarter and locks in 8.6% interest. Since he already has 1.5 lakhs in PPF investment, he will not enjoy tax benefits in SSY. However, he will continue to enjoy 8.6% returns that are absolutely tax-free.
Now, what if he did not invest in SSY and instead invested in a fixed deposit. To get the net return of 8.6%, the fixed deposit scheme he chooses should offer at least 11.6% return because fixed deposits withdrawals are taxed. Unfortunately fixed deposits do not offer 11.6% returns. They usually stay within the range of 8.0% to 9.0% and on top of that withdrawals will be taxed! So, SSY investment is better even if investment in SSY is not enjoying tax exemption.
Since SSY interest changes quarterly, is investment a wise option?
That's one hell of a brilliant question you asked! This question is answered by certified financial planner, Mr. Malhar Majumder. According Mr. Majumder, investment decision is SSY is usually based on the returns offered. Unfortunately, SSY revises interest rates every quarter and hence, returns may not remain the same over the entire year. According to Mr. Majumder, compared to Sukanya scheme there are better alternatives. For example, Mutual Funds. He says that Mutual funds have a history of good performance and they offer better returns compared to SSY. On top of that Mutual funds allow investments for both a female child and a male child while the SSY is designed only and only for a girl child. He says that SSY should not be the only investment for securing the financial future of a girl. In fact, it should be considered as a debt instrument part for designing a foolproof plan for the financial security of a girl child. Finally, Mr. Majumder says that Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana is good if a person is conservative by nature when it comes to investing money and also if he or she prefers funds' segregation.


Cheltenham and Tewkesbury Borough Councils have appointed technical sports consultancy Knight, Kavanagh and Page (KKP) to carry out the review which will address how the needs of communities may evolve in the future.
The study will look at community facilities managed across public, private, voluntary or education sectors and will help produce a strategy which, when adopted, will help shape planning provision for the next ten years.
It will take into account all indoor and outdoor sports facilities, playing pitches and open green spaces throughout Cheltenham and Tewkesbury boroughs, including those for football, rugby, cricket, hockey, tennis badminton, squash and swimming.
The project will involve and be managed by representatives from Sport England, key governing bodies for sport, Cheltenham Borough Council and Tewkesbury Borough Council.
Tracey Crews, lead officer for the social, sport and open spaces study, said, "This study, subsidised by the Large Scale Infrastructure Fund will provide an important part of the evidence to draft policies of the local plans for Cheltenham and Tewkesbury. When completed, the study will be a key tool in negotiations on development sites with regards to community, sport and open space provision. It will also support any future funding bids for the provision of new facilities."
Over the coming months, representatives from KKP will get in touch with sports and community groups, town and parish councils and other partners to discuss how existing facilities are being used and to carry out site surveys.
Anyone interested in the study should contact (KKP) Natalie Atkinson on 0161 7647040, natalie.atkinson@kkp.co.uk.

Brett Kavanaugh Speech Protested With Rape Whistles, Handmaid Costumes, Christine Blasey Ford Video
Several tactics were employed during protests at his first public speech since his confirmation hearings.

Brett Kavanaugh, the controversial Supreme Court associate justice whose vehemently protested Senate confirmation process awakened a national trauma for many, gave his first public speech since those contentious hearings. Speaking on Thursday, November 14, at an Antonin Scalia Memorial Dinner hosted by the Federalist Society, a conservative legal organization, Kavanaugh reportedly expressed gratitude and lamented the consequences his friends have faced for publicly supporting him in a nearly 30-minute speech.
The event (which listed Facebook as a "Gold Circle" sponsor, according to The Verge) in Washington, D.C.'s Union Station garnered attention from more than just the 2,000 members of the society in attendance, though. Both outside and inside the event, protesters continued a public pressure campaign against Kavanaugh reminiscent of the mass protests last year during his confirmation hearings.
HuffPost senior politics reporter Jennifer Bendery documented several of the protest actions on Twitter. Outside the event, protesters from the group We Demand Justice set up a giant screen looping a video of the emotional testimony of Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, the woman whose allegations of sexual misconduct against Kavanaugh touched off a series of accusations against him.
https://twitter.com/jbendery/status/1195120618091491329
Ford's testimony on repeat was just one part of the protest. There was a giant banner reading "KAVANAUGH LIED" at the VIP entrance, several people dressed as handmaids from The Handmaid's Tale (a common tactic), and chants of "shame" yelled at gala attendees who were waiting in line outside the event for over an hour.
Protesters posing as event staff also handed out fake programs documenting their criticisms of Kavanaugh. Activist Kristin Mink posted video on Twitter of one such program, which enumerated allegations of various times Kavanaugh lied under oath.
But the protests didn't stop outside. Mink also documented protesters who infiltrated the event blowing rape whistles and shouting "We believe Chrstine Ford!" and "We believe survivors!" as Kavanaugh was on stage. More people blew whistles nearby.

"The Federalist Society is trying to rehabilitate a credibly accused sexual predator, and we will not allow them to forget Dr. Christine Blasey Ford and Kavanaugh's other accusers," Katie O'Connor of Demand Justice told HuffPost. "Kavanaugh is not the hero of this story. We still believe Christine Blasey Ford, and we won't let him forget that. Putting on a new robe can't be allowed to erase credible accusations of sexual assault."

This Education Week article discusses new kindergarten-readiness assessments, including advances and concerns. See comments by Kyle Snow and Libby Doggett in the excerpts below.
All 3,500 kindergarten teachers in Maryland are using a new readiness assessment this year that rests on teachers' observations of children's work and play to build a detailed picture of what they need as they begin the school year.
What's happening here reflects a national surge of interest in better sizing up and serving children as they enter the K-12 school system. Parr's Ridge teacher Amy Knight is one of tens of thousands of teachers who are learning new ways of merging assessment with observation and instruction.
Experts say that Maryland's new kindergarten assessment showcases key features of age-appropriateness for young children. "It's right in the middle of the plate when it comes to good practice" in early-childhood assessment, said Kyle L. Snow, who has studied the issue as a senior scholar at the National Association for the Education of Young Children.
Libby Doggett, who oversees the Early Learning Challenge Grant program as the deputy assistant secretary for policy and early learning at the U.S. Department of Education, said the department's guidance incorporates the early-childhood field's cautionary notes about age-appropriate testing.
For those of you who were perhaps enjoying the last weeks of summer and may have missed it in August, here are links to a three-part series I wrote on the experiences of two community-based preschool teachers implementing a new curriculum.
How does classroom practice change as a result of Birth-Third work? How do children, teachers, and leaders experience these changes? This week I begin a series of posts that examine the experience of implementing a new preschool curriculum from the vantage point of two teachers and the program director at the East Boston YMCA.
This week I discuss the impact of longer, more structured units that emphasize multiple and multi-purpose read-alouds of stories and a robust math curriculum aligned to the developmental learning trajectories of 4-year olds.
I conclude the series by describing the use of small-group activities and independent centers as well as changes in classroom management, teacher confidence, and the development of oral language and thinking skills.
Two-generation programs are ambitious, but these articles prompt the question of whether there is a role for them in comprehensive Birth-Third efforts.

1. "Disenchanted"
One of her most iconic, star-making performances, Amy Adams starts this list out strong with her confirmed return to the long-awaited sequel of "Enchanted." Titled "Disenchanted," this animated, live-action hybrid sequel will have most of the same glowing stars as its predecessor, with Patrick Dempsey, James Marsden and Idina Menzel returning to reprise their characters. Music and mayhem is guaranteed as Gisele (Adams) of Andalasia and her once-grumpy divorce attorney husband Robert (Dempsey) are joined by their friends to sing through the streets of New York City and face a new villain played by Maya Rudolph. To make the news of this sequel even greater, Dempsey confirmed that he'll be singing in this film—and asks fans to bear with him. Though the release date is unclear at the moment, there won't be any wait for the theaters because "Disenchanted" will be sent straight to Disney+!
2. "Peter Pan and Wendy"
This Disney+ live-action remake of the 1953 animated classic "Peter Pan," is delivering an impressive lineup with newcomers Alexander Moloney and Ever Anderson ("Black Widow") to take on the titular characters. Jude Law will fulfill the role of Captain Hook with Jim Gaffagin at his side to play Hook's sidekick Smee. This pair is sure to clumsily wreak havoc across Neverland causing trouble for Peter and his crew. Speaking of Peter's crew, his sidekick is confirmed to be brought to life through "Grown-ish" star Yara Shahidi as she perfectly fills the sparkling shoes of Tinker Bell. Director David Lowry relayed that he's just as excited as fans are to see how his love of the movie plays out through his own new twist to the story. Whatever's in store is sure to excite, as this information about the live-action remake is so far worthy of faith, trust, and pixie-dust.
3. "The Little Mermaid"
This live-action princess remake may be the most informed at the moment, with its star-studded leading cast in full swing and gifted musicians working on the film ready to strut their musical prowess. The young and dazzling singer Halle Bailey will play the mer-princess, supported by an impressive ensemble consisting of Awkwafina, Daveed Diggs, Jacob Tremblay, Javier Bardem and Melissa McCarthy. These outrageously talented veteran performers are sure to punch out all of the same classic music and humor of the animated film, along with new material provided by the masterful compositions of Lin-Manuel Miranda and Alan Menkin. The release date of this remake has yet to be announced.
4. "Chip N' Dale: Rescue Rangers"
The combined comedic stylings of these two gut-busting icons is sure to bring the duo of Chip n' Dale to life in this hybrid CGI-live action. John Mulaney and Andy Samberg, each wildly successful and hilarious rascals on screen, will lend their talents to the chipmunks, with a special cameo from Seth Rogen that is sure to entertain. This film will base its plot on the animated series "Rescue Rangers" and is set to release in Spring 2022.
5. "Snow White"
A star on the rise, Rachel Zegler is set to become the first animated Disney princess in the live- action remake of "Snow White and the Seven Dwarves." Before she can step into the role that set feature-length animated films into motion—and recreate what is often regarded as the best Disney princess film—she will star as Maria in Steven Spielberg's remaking of "West Side Story." Her singing chops will also be on full display in this "Snow White" adaptation, as new music by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul of "The Greatest Showman" and "La La Land" will be created for the film. Director Marc Webb has no doubt that Zegler will fill Snow White's shoes with ease, as he has said the young actress's "strength, intelligence and optimism will become an integral part of rediscovering the joy in this classic Disney fairytale."
6. "Pinocchio"
This 1940's animated classic is sure to spring to life on the screen with the magic of CGI and terrific talents of the production team. "Back to the Future" and "Forrest Gump" director Robert Zemeckis welcomes back his leading man Tom Hanks to become Pinocchio's maker and father, Geppetto, while the young actor Benjamin Evan Ainsworth will offer his voice acting to the beloved puppet. The familiar stars Cynthia Erivo, Luke Evans, Keegan-Michael Key and Joseph Gordan-Levitt will additionally liven this tale as the Blue Fairy, the Coachman, Honest John and Jiminy Cricket, respectively. Another CGI live-action hybrid, this "Pinocchio" remake will surely bring these iconic characters and classic fantasy tale to new heights, with a likely release date falling in the year 2022.
A magical lineup with much to look forward to, Disney Studios is flexing its live-action chops and working hard to produce for fans a new look into these stories fit for a new age of Disney lovers and filmmaking. With an ambitious collection of directors and talent at the helm of revamping these animated classics there is undoubtedly new cinematic gold in store for the equally eager fans, whether it be from their homes on Disney+ or in the recently reopened movie theaters. No matter how you watch, Disney is sure to continue its growth into a live-action titan in the next few years, taking sparkling strides with the stories of our childhood.

Just about everything in his life has been influenced by cars in some way. From growing up in the garage while his father worked on cars and trucks, to playing every racing video game he could and getting his license. Since then there is no doubt that cars have been this thing. Actually anything with wheels have been his thing as he also rides motorcycles. When modifying cars and having fun led him to a group called Madison Street Cars many years ago some members of the group stumbled onto this thing called autocross and after a while he thought he would give it a try. Well that was 2010 and since then he hasn't looked back. In 2011 he moved from WI to Kansas City for work and found his racing home with the Kansas City Region SCCA. The racing is what brought him out to the events, but the people and good times are what keep him coming back. Over the past few years he has been lucky enough to drive some amazingly fun cars with some talented people. Ranging from Mini Coopers to a Nissan GTR. Boy was that fun on the big pad at Lincoln! His cars over the past 3 years have been an STX BMW E30, a DS/RTF Mini Cooper and currently an STF prepped Mini Cooper. Many people ask about the team name, but not all know the meaning behind it. Dare 2 Dream Motorsports was given that name after a conversation Jeremy had with his little brother, Cody, about a year and a half after Cody was in a snowmobile accident that left him paralyzed from the chest down. It was just a tag line that Cody said about his life and recovery, but something stuck. The team was formed shortly after that in hopes to be able to eventually be able to give back through racing. 2015 seems to be the year where everything is going to finally come together and that looks to be possible. While there is still much for him to learn about the sport of racing he always jumps in 100%. There are a couple of interesting venues that Jeremy is trying to reach out into and will hopefully be able to compete in them in the near future. Adding people to the team has been great and the 3 added people will be great representatives of what the team is all about. Look for a full website to be up in the near future with full details on the team and ideas on how they plan to give back to the community.
