Burn your Retinas, Soothe Your Ears: Terrible Movies with Great Music
Apr 5th, 2010 | By Defenestration | Category: Eileen: This is Your Brain On...
Have you ever met someone super hot, or something super hot (what up, objectum-sexuals!), and thought to yourself "I know as soon as you speak you're going to ruin this beautiful picture you've presented, because you're probably super into politics, or clog dancing and Warren Beatty, or misogynistic film plots with needless explosions and women who don't wear bras."
The above (terrible) example is how I feel about a lot of films that have bad ass soundtracks/scores, but tend to be just terrible in general (re: misogynistic film plots with needless explosions and women who don't wear bras). Therefore, I've compiled a list of the greatest music (EVER), which unluckily found himself (music is a man and he is attractive), married to something not so great.
So lets break into this shit like a diabetic robbing a candy store! (in alphabetic order because I hate numbers):
Rubber nipples never sounded so good!
Batman Forever (Various Artists)
When this film came out, I developed a huge crush for Val Kilmer. That was wrong. What isn't wrong: INXS's dearly departed Michael Hutchence's cover of Iggy Pop's "The Passenger." People often reference the big hits from this soundtrack, like U2's "Hold Me Thrill Me Kiss Me Kill Me," (this song is quite prophetic to me, as it was the last time U2 thrilled me), or Seal's "Kiss from a Rose" (yes, I listened to this song on repeat. I still don't know how a rose can kiss from the grave, but I'm not that into perennials). With music by artists such as PJ Harvey, Nick Cave and Everything But the Girl's Tracey Thorn, the Batman Forever soundtrack was more varied than Jim Carrey's facial expressions. While it is definitely a late 90s soundtrack, the songs remain as timeless as Nicole Kidman's forehead.
Flowers in the Attic (Composer, Christopher Young)
No one saw this movie but me. Twice. But I believe I made Genevieve see it just as further proof that it's very hard to adapt a novel to film: especially a novel about incest and child abuse with tasty arsenic cookies. Anyways, my thoughts on V.C. Andrews have already been made clear. But what isn't clear is how great this score is, which features lovely string arrangements, a boy's choir and SADNESS. I basically had to sell a kidney to get my hands on this score (fuck you, regulation of electrolytes!). But it was worth it. Let us hope Christopher Young will continue to work on good projects (Drag Me to Hell) and not "good projects" (Tales from the Hood).
The Fountain (Composers, Clint Mansell, Kronos Quartet, and Mogwai)
I refuse to see this movie because the score is so amazing and the reviews for this film were so terrible. Genevieve summed it up quite nicely by defining the film as "a glorious mistake." She also added, "it was pretty much: awful, awful, AMAZING awful, awful AMAZING awful, awful, huge tree."
Got it. Failed film conceptualization, excellent meeting of great musical minds. Seriously: Clint Mansell, Kronos Quartet AND Mogwai?! Did my inner choir girl just get laid?! Answer: Yes.
There is some masterful piano soloing going on in this bitch, as well as some super duper fantastic percussion.
Great Expectations (Various Artists)
Well at least Ethan Hawke isn't wearing eyeliner in this one (re: Hamlet), but he's all frowny face and Paltrow is in this one as well, sucking up everyone's life force. But that's okay because Tori Amos has two songs on this soundtrack to make it all better! Man, remember when Tori Amos wasn't so content with her life and that led to great music! Stupid happiness ruins everything.
Lost Highway (Various Artists)
For years I've refused to see this film because of how much I love the soundtrack. David Bowie! Angelo Badalamenti! Trent Reznor! Barry Adamson! Marilyn Mans–forget that last one!
Recently, I broke down and decided to see this one. How bad could it be? It's David Lynch! It's gained cult status! The music is so great it couldn't be that bad!
Not even the Bowie could save this one. I don't care if this is supposed to be some sort of dream within a dream within a nightmare something something. There is no way that a saxophone player receives a standing ovation unless he's in the Dave Matthews Band (RIP LeRoi Moore). That alone makes this film awful (except for Robert Blake's character, he was pretty neat-o), and it makes my goth side somewhat sad when I watch NIN's awesome video "The Perfect Drug," because I realize that the pimp at my laundromat was right: there is no such thing as a perfect drug, and the washing machine will never accept your leftover Euros.
Ugh, talk about a wrong turn. ZING!
Mary Reilly (Composer, George Fenton)
Genevieve has already brilliantly dissected this film. All I can say is the score, and George Fenton, deserved so much better. So so so much better. There is nothing sadder than a waste of an orchestra. And this wasn't just wasting an orchestra like a Mafia hit, this was wasting it like flushing the whole ensemble down the toilet. No one wants that. Not George Fenton and certainly not the janitor.
Plunkett and Macleane (Composer, Craig Armstrong)
Horrible! And that's just for Liv Tyler! But the score was (and is) so so great, as it is a fantastic blending of classical music and modern percussion. If you have to watch this movie, just skip to when Captain James Macleane (Johhny Lee Miller) is walking to the site of his execution. Bask in the lovely choir music of "Escape," and cry when JLM escapes death yet again. Your time is soon, hacker!
Romeo + Juliet (Various Artists)
I think this soundtrack was the pinnacle of "big film + big soundtrack with big artists." But while the movie suffocates under its own weight (or Claire Danes's death stare), the soundtrack is both somber (Radiohead's "Talk Show Host"), sexy (Garbage's "#1 Crush) and fun (Gavin Friday's "Angel").
The Saint (Various Artists)
Hahaha! It's my girlhood crush Val Kilmer again! This album made me feel so edgy when I bought it and it still holds up with tracks from Daft Punk, Sneaker Pimps and Chemical Brothers. What hasn't held up: Val Kilmer's face and sanity (also Elizabeth Shue's career).
Swordfish (Composer, Paul Oakenfold)
The "Halle Berry Shows her Berries" film was a disaster, but it was also Paul Oakenfold's opportunity to showcase his DJ-ing talents before he faded from relevancy. Before you beat me to death with your glowsticks, take a listen to his latest ventures. You're welcome.
The Village (Composer, James Newton Howard)
Oh, M. Night Shamalamamamamamamamaama. I, like so many others, hate your smugness and your lame plot twists. But what I really hate is how you got THE HOWARD (James Newton Howard), to waste his beautiful climactic score to this preposterous piece of clap-trap.
Wicker Park (Various Artists)
Uhhhhh. Let me see here. The soundtrack has: Postal Service, múm, +/-, The Shins, The Stills, Death Cab for Cutie, Broken Social Scene and Stereophonics. The film has: squinty-eyed Josh Hartnett and mood lighting. Tough call.
There you have it! My list of great soundtracks/scores that have been paired with some awful train wrecks of cinema. Oh, you haven't had enough (I get that all the time)? Well here are some "films that didn't make the cut because they are so unintentionally hilarious they side on camp."
Abandon (Composer, Clint Mansell)
Katie Holmes trying to act! Benjamin Bratt pretending to believe Katie Holmes can act! Clint Mansell, again proving to be too good for a film. Don't take these films's phone calls if they can't treat you right, Mansell!
Cruel Intentions (Various Artists)
A bastardization of the magnificent film Dangerous Liaisons, but it's still funny to watch Ryan Phillipe try to be magnetic. The soundtrack introduced suburbia to modern post-punk (Placebo) and British electronica (Faithless), and featured some great love songs ("This Love" by Craig Armstrong and "Colorblind" by Counting Crows).
Hackers (Various Artists)
This movie deserves an Oscar. An Oscar made of cheese. The soundtrack was so great they made a sequel to the soundtrack. Carl Cox, Leftfield and Kruder & Dorfmeister? Hell yes! They should make a sequel to the sequel. Oh wait, they did.
I hope they make a Hackers 15.
Underworld (Various Artists)
Say what you will about Kate Beckinsale's cat suit movie, but do not damn the soundtrack! Featuring Lisa Germano, A Perfect Circle, Skinny Puppy and Concrete Blonde's Johnette Napolitano, this one will warm your black black heart.
Happy listening! But always remember to cover your eyes (it always sounds better that way).

Japan and Katrina Call for Better Search-Survival Systems
Ideas and Issues March 15, 2011 by wade
New Orleans It is heartbreaking to read everywhere about families looking for relatives and friends in northern Japan. An organizer in our office tells about her mother, a native of an area south of Tokyo, who is distraught trying to locate sisters and cousins who might have been working or travelling in the area. It is still impossible to communicate to Japan where cell phones are ubiquitous, but service is still out throughout the north and many other parts of the country. Written reports from the area indicate only the few pay phones that still remain as part of the land line system are operating with correspondingly long lines. All of this is only too reminiscent of Katrina, but perhaps to an even more severe degree.
The effort and resources really need to be invested in protection and prevention, and that's the first priority, but I can't help thinking that in our high tech world we could do better on the rescue and recovery as well.
One post-Katrina project we never could get funded and done in New Orleans was digitalizing everyone's critical records: birth certifications, social security numbers, home ownership records, insurance policies, graduation certificates, drivers' licenses, passports, and the like. When you read that houses were swept away and flooded, losing everything, it is impossible to fully understand how comprehensive "everything" really is. Not only individual homes but public facilities are equally damaged, and survivors are literally forced to "start over" in every imaginable way. I still dream of getting Google or someone to help get that job done for everyone in New Orleans, but now it seems that the same project should exist in Japan and so many other places as well to smooth the transition from crises to normalcy and stability.
Scientists track fish, wolves, bears, birds, and all manner of other species with electronic tags all over the world in phenomenally difficult environments. They can follow them. They can find them. They can identify them.
Privacy concerns are crucial. So perhaps a system would have to have an "opt out" provision for those who don't want anyone anywhere to know where and what we might be up to, though cell phones (when the cell towers are up) and credit cards as all of us know from any crime show on TV are virtual dog collars already. What do I know about the technology, so I may be talking trash here, but for those who want and are willing to have an emergency backup, search and survival system, why couldn't we have (wear or whatever) something that would emit a signal when it counted.
Nothing could or should stop someone who was committed to being off the grid, but watching the footage of 100,000 Japanese soldiers searching for survivors in rubble and lines of weeping families pouring through pages of paper to see if relatives are alive or dead, makes me believe that someone, somewhere, somehow has to have a better system for those of us who want to save lives or be saved in the future.

Working mums earn up to 33% less an hour than men
Mothers who return to work part-time earn significantly less than men, according to research from the Institute for Fiscal Studies.
The gender wage gap is smaller when comparing young women – before they become mothers – with their male peers.
But the gap widens consistently for 12 years after the first child is born, by which point women receive 33% less pay per hour than men.
The widening of the hourly wage gap after childbirth is down to reduced hours of work, not because women see an immediate cut in hourly pay when they reduce their hours, according to the report.
"Rather, women who work half-time lose out on subsequent wage progression, meaning that the hourly wages of men, and of women in full-time work, pull further and further ahead. In addition, women who take time out of paid work altogether and then return to the labour market miss out on wage growth," it said.
The research also found the gap in average hourly wages between male and female employees has been falling over the past two decades.
The gap is now 18% compared with 28% in 1993 and 23% in 2003.
However, for graduates or people with A-levels, the gender wage gap is essentially the same as it was 20 years ago.
Robert Joyce, associate director at IFS and an author of the report, said: "Women in jobs involving fewer hours of work have particularly low hourly wages, and this is because of poor pay progression, not because they take an immediate pay cut when switching away from full-time work. Understanding that lack of progression is going to be crucial to making progress in reducing the gender wage gap."

Taliban's reclusive supreme leader appears, belying rumours of his death
Taliban leader Mullah Haibatullah Akhundzada is seen in an undated photograph, posted on a Taliban twitter feed on May 25, 2016, and identified separately by several Taliban officials, who declined be named. Social Media
KABUL, Oct 31 (Reuters) - Taliban's reclusive supreme leader, Haibatullah Akhundzada, made a rare public appearance in the southern city of Kandahar, Taliban sources said on Sunday, belying widespread rumours of his death.
Akhundzada, known as the leader of the faithful or Amir ul Momineen, had not been seen in public even after the Taliban's August takeover of the country, giving rise to the speculation.
A senior Taliban leader who was present with Akhundzada during the appearance told Reuters the supreme leader had visited Jamia Darul Aloom Hakimia, a religious school in Kandahar on Saturday.
As the Islamist movement unveiled its interim government in September after U.S.-led forces withdrew, the mysterious Akhundzada retained the role he has held since 2016 of supreme leader, the ultimate authority over the group's political, religious and military affairs.
Though some officials say that Akhundzada has made unpublicised public appearances before, this was the first confirmed appearance of a man who has long kept a low public profile.
The only photo Reuters has been able to verify of him was an undated image posted on a Taliban Twitter feed in May 2016.
This shadowy existence has led to constant speculation about his whereabouts and health.
Previously, the Taliban had not confirmed the death of their founder, and original supreme leader, Mullah Omar, for years.

GreekReporter.comHollywoodRising Pop Singer Dolleesi Releases Greek-Inspired Single 'Escape'
Rising Pop Singer Dolleesi Releases Greek-Inspired Single 'Escape'
By Joanna Kalafatis
Dolleesi releases her new single "Escape"/Courtesy of Dolleesi
Up and coming LA-based Greek pop artist Dolleesi released the electro-pop single "Escape", inspired by the atmosphere and beauty of the Greek islands.
The single, which was released in late June, features warm vocals and a summer-inspired atmosphere.
Dolleesi's Inspiration for "Escape"
Greek Reporter interviewed Dolleesi on the story behind this new song. She got the inspiration for "Escape" in lockdown. According to her, "the first lockdown found me in LA, far from my friends and family, I felt the need to express my nostalgia for the good times".
To cope with the difficult lockdown conditions, she started creating music to help her feel creative and positive about the world again. "Escape" came about while she was "dreaming of summers on the island that [she] grew up on."
Dolleesi grew up on the beautiful Greek island of Rhodes, though she has traveled all over Greece in pursuit of her music career, including Athens, Thessaloniki, and Santorini.
The motivation behind "Escape" was not only to help the listener lose themselves in a faraway Greek summer for a moment, but also to inspire a sense of optimism and dreamlike wonder.
Dolleesi in the Music World
This is hardly Dolleesi's first step into the music industry. She has been passionate about music since she was a teenager, and that drive took her from Athens, to the UK, and eventually to Boston, Massachusetts were she obtained a degree in both Songwriting and Performance from the Berklee College of Music.
Art for Dolleesi's new single "Escape"/Courtesy of Dolleesi
Using social media to express her creative and raise her profile, Dolleesi started sharing covers of popular songs as well as her unique takes on them, while performing live on stages around the US.
Not only a talented singer, Dolleesi is also exceptionally gifted on both the piano and guitar, two instruments which frequently show up in her songs. Though she grew up learning mostly classical and jazz, playing more acoustic music, she experimented with sounds and beats until she ended up in the world of R&B and electro pop.
Even though Dolleesi now lives in LA, her Greek roots are never far from her mind and heart. She told Greek Reporter, "Greece and Mediterranean culture are in my veins and are always an inspiration for my music."
She returns to Greece almost every year to stay in touch with family, friends, as well as great musical collaborators she has met over the years there. Meanwhile, she continues to pursue her dream of music in Los Angeles, experimenting with new styles and creating new songs.
You can watch the video for her Greek-inspired single, "Escape", below. Its island sound is sure to transport you to a different place.

As publishing lore tells it, the "book tour" used to be a common tool for authors to sell and promote their books, but in recent decades publishing companies have become less eager to commit resources to a marketing strategy that has gotten increasingly less effective.
So I was a bit surprised — and honored — when my publisher asked if I'd be interested in going on my own fifteen-city book tour for Trespassing across America.
The tour — organized and funded by my publisher — began in late April in Washington D.C., the day after my book published. It ended last week in New York City.
On my first morning, I began with a radio "satellite tour" from my hotel landline on which I'd talk to seventeen different radio stations, one after the other, in a six-hour timespan. I was a little nervous for my first radio interview, which would air in Dallas. I was anxious to pitch my book in a compelling way. I wanted to give crisp and articulate answers while also coming across as carefree and charismatic. But by 1 p.m., with sixteen rapid-fire interviews under my belt, I was leaning back in my fake leather chair and giving answers in my final interview as comfortably as I possibly could. So, that night, when I got up in front of my first audience at the Politics and Prose book shop in Washington D.C., I felt oddly confident, even serene, like I'd already given this talk seventeen times before.
A book reading can be extremely "hit or miss." It's hard to predict where you'll have a good turnout, and where no one will show up. I had about twenty people show up for my Washington D.C. event, close to fifty for my Greensboro event, and less than ten for my events in Lincoln and Omaha. What gives?
I was puzzled. I figured that all three of my events in North Carolina were hits because I had book reviews in two of those cities and a local NPR interview that aired statewide. Yet I also had good interviews published in newspapers in Lincoln and Missoula, but those events were lightly attended. I had no exposure at all in the Wichita and Tulsa press, yet they were among my best events. It was unpredictable.
My talk, itself, hardly varied from one reading to the next. By the end of the tour, I'd subtracted about a minute's worth of ineffective content, but the talk was more or less the same from the start of the tour to the end.
My talk is about my Great Plains journey, broken apart into sections that are designed to evoke different emotions. The beginning, when I explain how I planned my journey, is supposed to generate excitement. When I discuss my environmental-minded motivations and describe the tar sands of Northern Alberta, I hope to bring out a feeling of sorrow and outrage. When I discuss my hike and my mistakes, I try to make the audience laugh. Lastly, I end on a note of suspense to goad the listener to buy my book.
One of the interesting things I observed is that audiences almost always respond in the exact same way. I always knew when I was going to get laughter. I knew when I was going to get nervous titters. I knew when I was going to see a little emotion in my listeners' eyes. When I was asked if I ever felt lonely on my hiking journey, I told the story of when a coyote ran away from me and how I wanted to yell, "Come back!" This story wasn't meant to elicit laughter, but it got laughs at every reading, and I made sure to retell it along with other material that had gone over unexpectedly well.
The worst and most boring part of a book reading is the actual book reading. So don't read! I'd read only two short passages that took up less than two minutes of speaking time.
Keep the talk short (20-25 minutes) and rely more on the Q&A.
Meanwhile, the book reviews began to trickle in. I googled my name every day and found neutral-to-negative reviews from Kirkus and the LA Times, and good ones from a number of mid-sized papers, like The Buffalo News, Asheville Citizen-Times, and Greensboro News and Record. Everything about this is mostly unpleasant and emotionally exhausting. Bad reviews stick with you and hurt for a good 48 hours. The good reviews only make you hungry for more, and you end up feeling nasty pangs when they don't come. You reach a point where you say you're never going to read a review again, good or bad. You're terrified of the absolute lack of control you have over the whole "promoting" process and simply want to move onto your next project, where it's just you, an adventure, and the open canvas of a fresh Word doc.
As for my book tour talk, it never varied. The reception of it, however, did, and this reception depended on a few uncontrollable factors—namely the quality of the venue and the size of the audience. For audience size, bigger is always better. When an audience is small (like six people), it makes audience members self conscious. And because there is no one laughing around them, they don't want to be the lone, crazy laugher, so they're less willing to give in and immerse themselves in a collective emotional experience. So there I am, in front of six people, giving a talk with the same passion that I gave to a laughing and responsive audience the night before, but now all I can hear, in the spot where I normally pause for laughter, is the cappuccino machine gurgling in the background.
These weakly-attended events can feel humiliating. I'd think about how I'd traveled hundreds of miles to go to this bookstore in order to talk about a book that I'd worked on for over two years and walked 1,700 miles for, and yet only six people show up! In Lincoln, I had three people in the audience (one of them a friend) at the 7 p.m. start time. I postponed the reading for ten minutes and about five more folks (who should be knighted and get go to heaven) trickled in.
It's moments like these — when your pride is wounded — that you feel gratitude for the friends who made an effort to show up (and resent those who didn't). It's then when you think, "I'm never doing this again!" You can't help but wonder if it's worth the trouble for your publishing company to spend the hundreds of dollars — on airfare, hotel, rental car, and food — to get you to one of these ill-attended stores where only half the listeners buy books anyway.
There are other times, though, when you feel honored to be talking to a receptive audience that is interested to hear your story, thoughts, and opinions. When a talk is going well, and you know you have an audience that's absorbed, you feel loved and appreciated. It's then when you think that maybe suffering through the humiliation of a poorly-attended reading is worth experiencing the joys of a good one.
My Tulsa, Oklahoma event was by far my best. It was in a proper theater in the brand new Woody Guthrie Center. I had a proper stage with a big screen for my slideshow. I had a packed audience that I could only vaguely see in the dark. I had a warm light shining down on me. When I read from the script that I had just about memorized, I found myself talking more articulately. My pace was more comfortable. More natural. I took my time. I didn't speed the talk up, as I sometimes do before non-responsive audiences. I got such good, hearty laughs that I'd often have to wait five to ten seconds to let the laughter die down. It wasn't that I had suddenly become a better speaker. It was that the venue made the audience better, which made me better.

In Buffalo, I had to give a talk in a bookstore where there was a rhythmic and very distracting thumping noise coming from the floor above. One audience member said he thought it might be a jazzercise class. At one point, plaster fell down from the ceiling. Between the poor venue and the small audience size, my talk suffered.
I've found that the quality of a talk depends largely on the "crowdly atmosphere." A loving crowd will no doubt bring the best out of a speaker. Some speakers, I'm sure, can capture an audience of any size or temperament, but, for now, the success of my events are largely determined by these uncontrollable forces.
I also learned that the turnout for a bookstore reading has little to do with NPR interviews and getting reviews in local newspapers. Rather, it depends largely on the bookstore's culture and their tradition of bringing in speakers. If it's something they commonly do, aggressively advertise, and have a routine group of people who show up, the better your turnout will likely be, regardless of how much exposure you'd gotten in the local media.
I could complain about the long hours of travel, the radio interviews that cut into much needed nap time, or my reliance on bad airport food, but mostly I felt grateful for this rare (most likely once-in-a-lifetime) opportunity. And I felt grateful to have a publishing company (that I very much wish to please) that believes in my book.
The success of a book tour is almost impossible to determine. I didn't come close to selling enough books to pay back the expense of the tour, which probably cost several thousand dollars. (I'm guessing book tours rarely "pay off" in this way.) But the point of a tour isn't necessarily to instantaneously sell a whole bunch of books. It's to get the word out. It's to get local reviews and exposure in local radio stations. It's to get the book in the hands of folks who will write Amazon reviews, propose it to their book club, or buy another copy for a family member at Christmas.
There are some things an author can do to to make his or her book successful. But, like a turnout for a book reading, most of a book's success is outside of your control. After the initial publicity push, it largely depends on luck, on what's going on in the world at the time of the book's release, or on how passionate the publisher is about your book. So part of dealing with the turbulent emotions that come from a book's release is just reminding yourself that you've written the best book you could and that the rest of it is up to something as abstract and uncontrollable as "fate." More important than the book's initial "splash," anyway — you remind yourself — is how it's appreciated over time.
My rental car got broken into in Houston, near the Museum of Fine Arts. My lap top bag was stolen.
A couple of notes: (1) It wasn't a great payday for the burglars. I'd left my laptop at the hotel and I had my iPad in hand for navigational purposes. All they got was a copy of Trespassing across America, my book tour speech, and a few cords for my electrical devices. (2) When I tell this story, at least I get to say that I was out doing something cultural, and not "ordering a 5-for-5 at Arby's."
We loved hearing you in Tulsa, but to be honest, I came prepared not to like you. After all, you had trespassed across our farm land in Kansas! But you won me over a wonderful informative & humorous presentation, and when I read your book, I was happy to see that my little Kansas hometown even rated a couple of positive paragraphs about your arriving in town on Christmas Eve.
As one of the 50 in Greensboro, I thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to hear you speak and to get to meet you. Reading a book like this one is even more interesting when you've a voice and face for your mental narrator. Thanks for taking the time to come out and meet us all, and I'm looking forward to hearing about your next adventure!
If you and your publisher decide on another tour, come out West. Specifically, come to Portland, a city of readers who would welcome you and your fine book, and home of many independent booksellers, including Powell's.
Anon--Thanks for liking me. Tulsa was a lot of fun.
Chris--Good to know. Will definitely do a reading there for my next one, if I'm lucky enough to have a next one.
Leslie--I've gotten a few requests for Portland, which probably means I should come out there. Thanks for the encouragement.
I wish I had know you were in Lincoln, NE for a book tour! I would have been there. I just finished reading "Trespassing Across America" from the library and will order my own book today.
Book tours sound a hell of a lot like running for local office. I'm looking forward to reading your book.
Hey Ken, I read your book Walden on Wheels (which is in my top 10) and just picked up a copy of your new book. I looked at your blog a bit but won't come back till I'm finished with the book, don't want any spoilers. Keep up the great work, maybe look into a festival trip for your next book. Follow a band or travel to different music festivals???

Uttoxeter, Heath Mission Church
Holly Road, Uttoxeter Uttoxeter
Church of England Diocese of Lichfield Uttoxeter
A letter from our Team Vicar, Rev Joe.
Today I am writing this Stuff as a genuine 4D, present time, multisensory experience. I have a cup of honey and ginger tea in my 'Tea's a Saviour' mug, which also has a 3D image of Jesus on it. Jesus actually looks as if he might have been from Palestine rather than the blue-eyed, Aryan versions popular in 20th century Hollywood films. He is a touch orange, however, but as far as I know hasn't been asked to go on Strictly Come Dancing.
I am also listening to the first of 3 Bob Dylan CDs that my oldest brother kindly sent me a few months ago. I was asking him about Bob's 'Christian Phase' and if there was anything appropriate for me to play in church services. I have been trying to introduce some different styles of music to broaden what we listen to in church and discourage people from singing. Those who were at Christchurch, Tean on 27th December for the annual Uttoxeter Area tradition of a finding an excuse to miss church, were treated to Bob's version of 'O Little Town of Bethlehem', which is the only listenable track on his otherwise appalling 2009 'Christmas in the Heart' album.
The first song on Bob's 'Shot of Love' 1981 album is ..... 'Shot of Love', and starts with the lines,
Don't need a shot of heroin
To kill my disease
Don't need a shot of turpentine
Only bring me to my knees
Don't need a shot of codeine
To help me to repent
Don't need a shot of whiskey
Help me be president
How I integrate that with 'Shine Jesus Shine' might be a bit of a problem for me. However, as my oldest brother also told me once (with tone and style at its wryest), "there is no such thing as a problem, only a solution opportunity".
As I write I'm really rather enjoying Bob's album. It's a mix of folk, gospel and bluegrass, and I can actually hear his lyrics, which is a plus, as on the two occasions that I have seen Bob live it has just been an electric mash of incoherent noise. Another couple of lines I have heard are,
'Never robbed any churches nor cut off any babies' heads,
He just took the folks in high places and he shined a light in their face.'
which I'm guessing partly refers to Herod's slaughter of the under two's in Bethlehem after Joseph and his family and fled to Egypt.
I've enjoyed listening to other types of Christian music over the last few months. It's been one of the pluses of COVID restrictions. I have a bluegrass gospel collection to catch up with, which I was hoping to use at church this week but that will now have to wait. I think that the problem with some church music is that a) it's a bit cheesy, and b) it's a bit formulaic. There are many exceptions of course and much great church music. There is also background to some of the hymns we play that we are unaware of, such 'It is well with my soul', where both the writer of the music and the words met with great tragedy, and Horatio's Spafford's experiences are reflected in the lyrics.
That is why I am keen to listen to music by Christians which is not necessarily standard church music. Bob Dylan's songs no doubt reflect his experiences of fame, fortune, sadness and social dissent, as well as his faith experience. Some of the images used might challenge our starched expectations from the hymnal, but they also reflect what seemed to be deeply felt experiences,
'you were closer to me than my next of kin
When they didn't want to know or see'
and dramatic changes in approach. Compare Bob's 1960s protest songs to this lyric from 'Trouble',
'Revolution even ain't no solution for trouble.'
Strangely enough, the song from 'Shot of Love' that immediately struck me as the most likely one to acceptably play in church is probably the cheesiest, but most beautiful. 'Every Grain of Sand' is a gentle song that talks of Bob at his lowest but also where God was close to him. Here is the final verse,
I hear the ancient footsteps like the motion of the sea
Sometimes I turn, there's someone there, other times it's only me.
I am hanging in the balance of the reality of man
Like every sparrow falling, like every grain of sand.
Pure gospel. Faith, doubt, hope.
Peace and prayers, Joe

Sólveig Anspach (ur. 8 grudnia 1960 w Vestmannaeyjar, zm. 7 sierpnia 2015 w Drôme) – islandzka reżyserka i scenarzystka filmowa, tworząca filmy we Francji i Islandii.

Życie i twórczość
Córka rumuńskiego Niemca Gerharda Anspacha oraz islandzkiej architekt Högny Sigurðardóttir. Większość życia spędziła mieszkając i pracując we Francji. Studiowała w Paryżu filozofię i psychologię kliniczną, po czym w 1989 ukończyła studia reżyserskie na prestiżowej uczelni La Fémis.

Charakterystyczne w filmach reżyserowanych przez Anspach jest eksponowanie wątków feministycznych oraz ukazywanie Islandii jako miejsca odrębnego kulturowo dla bohaterów przybywających tam z innych części świata. W Nawałnicy (2003), pierwszym filmie nakręconym w Islandii, przedstawia ten kraj jako charakteryzujący się zarówno surowymi warunkami atmosferycznymi, jak i tradycjonalistycznie podchodzącymi do budowania relacji mężczyznami. Ukazany jest on jako miejsce niesprzyjające ubezwłasnowolnionym kobietom. Film miał swoją światową premierę w sekcji "Un Certain Regard" na 56. MFF w Cannes. Wcześniej Anspach zasiadała w jury Złotej Kamery na 53. MFF w Cannes (2000).

Bardziej optymistyczne podejście widoczne jest w jej filmie Zaraz wracam (2008), w którym Anspach portretuje życie bohemy zamieszkującej dom handlującej marihuaną poetki. Jego mieszkańcami są m.in. charyzmatyczne kobiety, co burzy stereotypowe podejście do portretowania Islandek w filmie. Także sam kraj jest inaczej zobrazowany poprzez koncentrację na ekscentryczności wprowadzanej na wyspę przez cudzoziemców. Przedstawiona perspektywa wiecznej zabawy jest jednak wyidealizowana, przez co widzowie mogą odbierać treść filmu jako niemożliwą do zrealizowania (zarówno dla turystów, jak i autochtonów) utopię.

W kolejnym filmie Królowa Montreuil (2012) powracają postacie z dwóch poprzednich produkcji kinowych Anspach. Również w nim reżyserka koncentruje się na bohaterkach kobiecych i osobach "wrzuconych" do obcej im kulturowo rzeczywistości.

Ostatni jej film Efekt wody (2016), który otrzymał Cezara za najlepszy scenariusz oryginalny, zmontowany został już po śmierci Anspach, zgodnie z przekazanymi przez nią wskazówkami. Zmarła na raka piersi w wieku 54 lat.

National SMART Grant
The Institute for Women's Policy Research estimates more than two million undergraduate students in the United States are raising children without a partner. Most of these single parents in school are women, and women of color are even more likely than their white peers to be single mothers while in school. While 40% of women in the United States had college degrees in 2015, 54% of married women and only 31% of single mothers older than 25 had earned the credential. These figures underscore just how difficult it can be for single mothers to finish college programs. Moreover, the single mothers who do graduate usually do so with more debt than their married and nonparent counterparts. However, grants for single moms can help.
"While 40% of women in the United States had college degrees in 2015, 54% of married women and only 31% of single mothers older than 25 had earned the credential."
Several organizations and government programs sponsor grants for single mothers to change these statistics. Many private companies and nonprofit organizations have scholarships for single moms who want to earn a college degree. The federal government also issues grants for single moms. Grants are like scholarships in that students never have to repay what they receive, and most college grants for single mothers come from the Child Care and Development Block Grant. The block grant distributes grant money to all the states, each of which then sets unique requirements for grant applicants.
To qualify for school grants for single moms, applicants must verify that they are single parents. To do so, they must demonstrate head-of-household status on their most recent federal tax return, with at least one dependent under the age of 18. They must also document their income and financial need by filing a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), particularly if you they are applying for a government-funded scholarship or grant.
Specific requirements may vary based on the program, but you can use your federal tax-filing status as a general guide for this process: If you are divorced (or not married, but living in a state that recognizes common-law partnerships), a good rule of thumb is to submit the same filing status and income information on both your tax return and grant application.
Private grants for single mothers typically prioritize applicants who demonstrate financial need. Some grants may have additional applicant requirements on top of being a single mother — some may require applicants to be over a certain age, be a returning student, or plan to pursue a degree in an in-demand field. Many of the following scholarships essentially function as need-based college grants for single moms.

The High Cost of Childcare
When considering the cost of education, single-parent students should take into account the cost of childcare. According to Inside Higher Ed, 3.2 million college students were parents in 1995, and by 2016, that number rose to 4.8 million. The number of parents enrolling in higher education programs is on the rise, but childcare programs at these institutions have significantly decreased. Between 2003 and 2016, the percentage of public universities offering childcare services dropped by 6%, to 49%. In that same time, childcare provision at two-year colleges went from 53% to 44%. Even so, single parents can take heart in knowing that nearly half of higher learning institutions offer on-campus childcare. These students can prioritize applying to schools with this feature.
Off-campus childcare, on the other hand, can be prohibitively expensive. Child Care Aware found that single parents spend an average of 27% of their income on this expense. Even in areas with relatively low childcare costs like Mississippi, single parents may spend up to 17% of their income on childcare for just one infant. In Massachusetts, the cost of center-based infant care costs 99% of the average single parent's income.
"Child Care Aware found that single parents spend an average of 27% of their income on this expense."
Depending on the school and state, childcare could cost even more than college tuition. In fact, a recent study showed that full-time infant care is more costly than full-time public university tuition in 28 states and the District of Columbia. Parents who go to school have to pay for both of these significant expenses, so earning a degree may feel overwhelming. However, scholarships and grants for single mothers can cover both. Furthermore, learners should consider college degrees as investments. While it may be difficult and expensive now, a college degree can pay off for the graduate and family.
The Reward for Investing in Education
Earning a college degree can be costly, but the reward can be well worth the investment. Whether the degree is in the student's current field or something entirely new, it can pay off in dividends over a career. In fact, Michael Greenstone and Adam Looney of the Brookings Institution's Hamilton Project found that college graduates earn approximately $570,000 more over their careers than peers with only a high school diploma. On average, that spells out a 15% return on their education investment.
Moreover, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics shows that working adults with at least a bachelor's degree have significantly lower unemployment rates than those with a less formal education. Even in financially tumultuous years, college graduates' unemployment rates were about half that of high school graduates.
Learners' children also receive financial benefits and stability from their parents' education. Moreover, having parents with degrees can significantly increase children's chances of success. The Atlantic reports that kids who have at least one parent with a college education are more likely to enroll in college after high school, and more likely to succeed in those programs.
Additional Ways for Single Parents to Save in College
Single mothers attending college can also apply for grants for women, African-Americans, and online students. Single parents may also be able to take advantage of tuition assistance from their employers. Learners can try online classes, as well, which offer savings on tuition, commuting, childcare, and books. Some students may even qualify for tax breaks.
Employer Tuition Assistance
Many employers assist their employees in paying for college, viewing it as an investment. Time reports that one major company that offered tuition assistance recouped every dollar it spent, plus an additional $1.29 for every dollar it spent on employee tuition. This system worked well for the company because tuition assistance programs lead to better retention rates and significant savings on turnover. Today, 60% of employers offer some way for employees to pay for higher education. Single parents who are struggling to pay for school should check with their employers.
The majority of businesses offer tuition assistance, but tuition assistance programs can work in a variety of ways. Many tuition reimbursement programs require students to pay for their classes up-front, and they receive payment from their employers after they pass. Other businesses may fund their employees' education using scholarships.
Finally, students who work for colleges and universities may receive tuition waivers or reductions from their employers. No matter which type of assistance an employer offers, it can only remain tax-free if the total is less than $5,250 per year. The business may provide more assistance than that, but the learner has to pay taxes on every dollar over the minimum. Many companies may also require that the class go toward a degree-seeking program, and they may even stipulate what GPA the student needs to maintain.
Try Online Learning
Childcare is one of the most significant expenses for students who are single parents face. However, online classes can help ease that burden. Learners who study online in asynchronous courses can watch lectures, take tests, and complete homework whenever their schedules allow. However, students should note that online learning takes dedication and discipline, especially for parents. Online education may come with a learning curve for some degree candidates, but many find that the flexibility makes it worth the effort.
Distance education can often save students money in other surprising ways. For example, many online programs have lower tuition rates than their on-campus counterparts. Furthermore, books are usually in electronic format, making them cheaper than printed versions. Online students don't need to worry about fitting commute times into their schedules or gas money into their budgets.
Take Advantage of Tax Breaks
In addition to online learning, employer assistance, grants, and scholarships for single moms, unmarried parents can use several tax breaks to help make ends meet while they are in college. Starting in 2018, parents can earn a tax credit of $2,000 per child each year. Whereas tax deductions reduce the amount of income that is taxable, tax credits like this are dollar-for-dollar deductions on a person's tax bill. For example, if a single mother of two was set to receive a $500 tax refund, she could use the Child Tax Credit to increase her rebate to $4,500.
To be eligible for the tax credit, the child must live with the parent and be under 17. They must also be a dependent on the tax form, legally the adult's child, and a citizen of the United States. However, some learners whose children meet these qualifications may only receive part of the tax credit. The government uses the adult's income to determine what percentage of the credit the parent can receive.
States may also offer deductions and credits for parents, though this varies widely between jurisdictions. Also, students who pay for child care may qualify for the Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit. This credit covers a percentage of what the parent pays for daycare, but not all caregivers qualify. The IRS provides an interactive tool to help parents decide if they can receive this credit.

Q: Setting data to nodes in XML using python I'm trying to read in the data structures from an XML file using Python by cloning various nodes (and groups of nodes), then changing some of the data within the nodes and pasting it out to a new .xml file.
I currently have this code - it is enclosed in a for loop as I am trying to create multiple nodes from one cloned node. Each new node has slightly different data from the clone:
i = 1

for alias in newchannels[:]:

    #split'alias' at commas and assign to content - this bit is just to retrieve the    correct data to be pasted into the nodes later
    content = alias.split(',')
    #extract data from array
    channelname = content[0]
    #ditto
    ip = content[2]
    port = content[3]

    #get channel info
    root_sChannel = root_sChannelList.getElementsByTagName("servermain:Channel")[0]
    #blank channel node
    root_sChannelClone = root_sChannel.cloneNode(False)

    #root_sChannelClone.firstChild.data = "SimulationChannel " + str(i)

    #clone servermain:Name attribute from previous xml file

    servermainName = root_sChannel.getElementsByTagName("servermain:Name")[0]

    #clone it
    servermainNameClone = servermainName.cloneNode(True)

    servermainNameClone.data = "SimulationChannel" + str(i)
    #this bit prints the data fine
    print servermainNameClone.data
    #servermainNameClone.setAttributeNode("Simulation Channel" + str(i))

    #append to channel clone
    root_sChannelClone.appendChild(servermainNameClone)
    #this bit still prints the data fine
    print servermainNameClone.data

    #append other data here

    root_sChannelListClone.appendChild(root_sChannelClone)

    i+=1

The problem that I am having is that although the data seems to be setting fine before appending the nodes at the end (as checked by the print statements), when I actually check the outputted file, it has actually just taken the 'deeper' data of the '.cloneNode(True)' node and copied it straight over with no change, which makes absolutely no sense to me. Am I using the wrong data changing function or something?
