Eric Roberts Has More Hustle Than Any Actor in Hollywood
"*sigh* Yeah he'll take it."
~Eric Roberts' Agent
So here's a story. The other day we were thinking about Eric Roberts. You know, the actor. Don't ask us why. You're gonna ask us why? We were drunk, okay? What that's not enough explanation for you? Have you ever read our site? We once got drunk and decided it was a good idea to rate every fictional president in film history, and then this shit happened. We are not responsible adults here, okay?
Anyway, we went to Eric Robert's IMDB page, because we may or may not be watching Sons of Anarchy and may or may not have wanted to write a joke about how shit Eric Robert's haircut is before realizing that he's not in that show at all, he just looks kiiiind of like Jeff Kober. Tell us we're wrong.
Do you know what we found? Well, as you can tell by the title of this article, this dude hustles. Like, holy shit. Look at how many pending project he has on his IMDB page. We can't even fit all of them in a screenshot, and that's after we've zoomed our browser down enough that it's blurred beyond recognition.
How do so many of these not have release dates?
So yeah. Apparently Eric Roberts, according to the internet (WHICH IS INFALLIBLE! ALL PENGUINS ARE GIRLS, THAT'S A FACT NOW) has FIVE HUNDRED AND SEVENTEEN CREDITS to his name. That's insane. You know how insane that is? When we started writing this article, that number was on 504. Then when we finished writing this article it was 514. And between writing this and posting it, it jumped up three more. We wish that was a joke.
Now if you want to feel kind of disillusioned, here's a fun fact. Again, if we go by what the internet says (APPARENTLY ALSO SPIDERS ARE AFRAID OF BULLSEYES, THAT'S A FACT NOW, SO SAYETH THE NET) that Eric Roberts is worth about $8 million, after a highly successful acting career and literally half a thousand roles.
That means each appearance he's had behind the camera has been worth about $14,000. Which honestly? Is not bad money, but it's not "award-nominated actor" money either. Not even close.
His sister, Julia Roberts (MAYBE YOU HAVE HEARD OF HER HMM) is worth about $140 million. Over 61 credits.
His daughter, Emma (who we confuse with Emily Rossum for some reason?) is worth $15 million. Which, lol. Do you think he's a bit jealous of his daughter being worth twice as much as him, or is he mostly proud? Probably mostly proud, with a twinge of jealousy, right? That seems right?
Anyway, we're going to talk about Eric Robert's Hustle.
Eric Roberts was born on April 18th, 1956, in Biloxi, Mississippi and at the age of 21 appeared in the soap opera Another World for his first official gig. By his own account he was "the world's worst soap actor" and he was fired halfway through the season. But he apparently learned how to improve his acting pretty quick, since he was nominated for a Golden Globe the next year for King of the Gypsies, and he would eventually receive an Oscar nomination in 1985 for Runaway Train.
It being the 80s and all, he got really into cocaine, and eventually had to go to rehab. He met his wife, Eliza Roberts, who appeared as Brunella in the film Animal House, in 1986 and married her in 1992. Now, up until the 90s, his creative output was both prestigious and regularly paced. He was nominated for three Golden Globes, and from 1978 to 1990 he was in eleven films, three TV movies, and was in a single episode of the show American Playhouse.
He started to do more and more roles in the 90s, going from four credits in 1993 to six credits in 1994 to thirteen credits in 1996, but it wasn't until the 2000s that he really started to delve into the "prolific" territory. Part of that came from a general willingness to take any role, part of that came from a bit of "don't want to be a has-been" desperation, but a lot also came from his appearance on Celebrity Rehab, where he tried to give up his addiction to weed (he long kicked the white stuff). Before that, he was getting work—in 2010 he had about thirteen credits. But in 2012, after his well-received Celebrity Rehab appearance, he was in twenty seven goddamn movies. And he had just kept hustling since then.
To get an idea of how much hustle Eric Roberts has, he's on Twitter, where he has tweeted (as of the drafting of this article) 38,500 times. He has 44,600 followers He has tweeted about once per follower. Meanwhile, his sister (we're going to compare him to Julia Roberts a lot here, but not to rub it in, mostly to point out that he seems to put a LOT more work into this Hollywood thing than she does) isn't on twitter. But someone registered the @JuliaRoberts account and hasn't tweeted even once (we're guessing they're trying to sell the domain?). It has 517,000 followers.
Anyway. Here's a fun thing. Eric Roberts' Rotten Tomatoes biography literally reads like Eric Roberts writing himself as the complicated but difficult protagonist of a novel where he's Marie Sue-ing himself.
"Eric Roberts is an acquired taste: those watching his movies fall into two distinct camps — they either love him and consider him one of Hollywood's most intense and underrated actors, or they loathe him and consider him a pretentious, shameless ham."
That is one helluva bio right there. IMDB adds, "A risky, no-holds-barred actor, he was often guilty of overacting if given half the chance." Which, yeah, makes sense.
The best part about Eric Roberts is that he's famous enough that you recognize his name and his appearance (though normally he's known as "oh right, Julia Roberts brother") but he'll also do roles that you'd see on the IMDB page of, like, Martin Sheen's desperate brother Joe Estevez.
Let's pick a random year, shall we? In 2016, he played Uncle Nicky in the $500,000 budget "comedy" EuroClub as well as playing Uncle Nicky in the maybe-a-sequel-or-maybe-this-movie-is-listed-twice-on-IMDB-with-two-different-names film Euro Kings. He played "Mall Santa" in Santa's Boot Camp (wut), and "Dr. Beck" in the Lifetime movie Stalked by My Doctor: the Return. He also managed to snag a guest spot on an episode of Brooklyn Nine-Nine, so he was doing some actual gigs in between playing the a Dean who commits suicide and then haunts a doll(!?) in Sorority Slaughterhouse.
This. This is voiced by Eric Roberts. Seriously.
He also somehow manages to get typecast, while not being typecast, because what does typecasting a guy with 517 credits even look like? Let's take a look at some of the types of roles he has taken over the years.
1- He has appeared as a Doctor in twenty six movies, short films, and tv shows. And that's just assuming that he hasn't played a character who was a doctor that just didn't have "Dr." in his name in the credits.
2- Fittingly, he has also played a Senator four times. And oh God, he played a President in First Dog. Which we didn't include in our Fictional President rankings! This article just gave us so much work to do!
3- He has played a Governor twice, but one of those was in the third and final (right? Please don't tell us there's another) The Human Centipede movie, so that almost negates his other Governor credit right there.
4- He's been a Detective six times, a Sergeant once, a General and a Major General once, a Captain 5 times, a Lieutenant twice and a Colonel once.
5- He has taken the role of "dad" or "[character]'s dad" three times, and an "Uncle" three other times. Oh, and he's played himself three times too. Sure.
6- He also played the integral role of "Taxi Driver" in the classic film…Assumed Killer. Starring Casper Van Dien. In 2013. Lol.
7- He played "The Bartender" in Enrique Iglesias's "El Baño" video. Wait, what?
All this might seem like we are making fun of an actor who clearly has had to take some, oh, let's say mildly demeaning roles in search for his craft. Sure we're punching upwards, but still dishing a lot of cheap shots (like, you try not laughing when you hear that Eric Roberts played the role of "Mr. Wagner" in the 2014 classic comedy[?] Chicks Dig Gay Guys).
But we're not here to do that. Okay okay, well, first, one more, in 2013 he played "Duffy (voice)" which of course was the lead in a movie called, and we would never lie to you, a film called A Talking Cat!?! Punctuation very much not ours. Hahahaha oh God, we're starting to think that Eric Robert's agent is just an answering machine message that says, "Hi, you've reached Eric Roberts. I'm in. Please send the script over and I can be on set tomorrow."
We would never lie to you
But that's the beauty of Eric Roberts is that he's a grinder. And he's a perfectly capable actor. The man could get statues, but he's out there chasing paper, and what's more, he's not above any project or any actor or any director.
If you cut him a check, he will give you the time of day, and honestly he's likely going to chew scenery in a way that will remain the best thing to come out of your $300,000 budget movie financed by a writer/director/star who spends his days as the premier real estate broker in western Orange County.
Eric Roberts probably doesn't need the work at this point, but he loves the work, and there's something good and pure about being a millionaire who's filming between twenty and fifty movies a year and still going, "You want me to play 'Ben' in Monster Lake? Eh, sure thing man."
Eric Roberts is a man who battled addiction, decided to salvage his career by exaggerating his current vices on a D-List Celebrity Rehab realty program, and it worked, so he vowed to take each and every opportunity that came his way going forward. All while defying every Hollywood stereotype by keeping his marriage going for 26 years and counting.
So while we can, and will, point out all the hilarious D- and E-list roles he's taken over the years, we can also salute him. After all, no one's asking anyone in our staff to play Nathan Sands in Sharktopus. And now that we know Eric Roberts stole that role from us, we're a little jealous of him now, truth be told. But still in awe.
Keep it up, Eric. You're a true American inspiration.

Bethenny Frankel and the cast of 'Real Housewives of New York City.'

Shield's body was found Friday at Trump Tower in New York City.

A New York Police Department spokesperson told People that "a 51-year-old man was pronounced dead on the scene at Shields' Trump Tower address." While authorities could not share the individual's name, "Preliminarily, we are investigating it as a possible overdose," the spokesperson told the publication.
According to sources speaking to the New York Post, Shields requested his assistant to administer Narcan, used to reverse opioid overdoses, at around 9.00 am local time, believing he was overdosing on prescription pills.
However, Shields lost consciousness before the medication took effect. He was pronounced dead a shortly after.
Sheilds' wife Jill issued a statement to People, in which she said: "We are all heartbroken. Dennis was, and will always be, the love of my life. His spirit lives on in our children. Please respect our family's privacy at this time."
Frankel's on-off romance with Shields was a mainstay on Real Housewives of New York. The former couple started dating in 2016, after he had separated from wife Jill. Frankel and Shields met some 28 years ago, when he started dating Jill, a high school mate of Frankel's.

I had the privilege of being tasked to organize this ball for Portia's 81st anniversary (there's a long story behind it, but I'll save it for next time) and for most of the school year, I've been preoccupied with putting this entire plan into place - from scouting for venues to deciding which colors should go with the chairs. It's crazy - I didn't realize how much work goes into putting together an entire event, especially for an occasion so important. I've never had any experience about planning these kinds of things before, but I'd like to believe I handled it all pretty well. Couldn't have done it without the help of my sorority sisters (and my mom!) of course. If anything, knowing that I'd be able to make my sisses really happy is the one thing that kept me going during the most stressful moments.
Last night was a night of celebration. The theme was La Vie En Rose, which meant life through rose-colored glasses. I wanted us to acknowledge that despite whatever troubles and hostility life in law school may bring us, we will always be able to see the silver lining. Life is tough, and it's bound to hit us in the jugular every once in a while - but the important thing is to still see it as a mere challenge, as a blessing in disguise. There is always room for optimism, idealism, and growth. It is always in the most difficult of times that the truly excellent stand above the rest - because we see the beauty in despair, and we find the nobility of purpose in the muddle of chaos.
I'm so glad everyone seemed to have a lovely time last night. Everything paid off, I must say. It was such a great honor preparing this Ball to cap off this year's Portia Week. ♥ What a way to hit restart and look forward to the remainder of the semester with so much hope.
Of course, the highlight of my night was having this incredibly dashing man as my date. It was Ludwin's birthday weekend, but he agreed to spend it with me. I actually asked him out to this ball last July, back when we only started going out -- breaking Barney Stinson's rule about not asking a person out for an event in the future that's longer than the time you've been dating. But I don't know, I guess when it's your crush of five years, you both throw all caution in the wind and just go for it? :)) No more mindgames.
I didn't have the traditional dances for my 18th birthday, and I've never gone to an actual prom with a date, so I have to admit that the deprived-giddy-high-school-girl in me was kilig beyond comprehension. Never in my twenty-two years did I imagine that I'd actually be looking forward to dancing with anyone for a formal occasion - let alone a cotillion.
But what do you know. For the last two weeks, I secretly couldn't wait to waltz along to the swelling of the violin strings. Guess it just takes one person to change everything.
P.S. 2008 Karla, you're very, very welcome.

}

A: У вас немного неправильное понимание порядка исполнения кода. Сейчас это выглядит так:
@Override
public void onBindViewHolder(ItemViewHolder holder, int position) {
    Album album = getItem(position);

    //показываем прогрессбар
    holder.progressBarCardAlbum.setVisibility(ProgressBar.VISIBLE);

    //скрываем прогрессбар вместе с выделенным на него пространством
    holder.progressBarCardAlbum.setVisibility(ProgressBar.GONE);

    //устанавливаем текст
    holder.albumName.setText(album.getTitle());
    if (album.getDescription() != null) {
        holder.albumDescription.setText(album.getDescription());
    }

    //отправляем АСИНХРОННЫЙ запрос
    Picasso.with(context).load(album.getSizes().get(0).getSrc()).into(holder.albumImage);

    //скрываем прогрессбар, но место выделенное под него все ещё видно
    holder.progressBarCardAlbum.setVisibility(ProgressBar.INVISIBLE);
}

Следуя вашей логике можно переписать метод таким образом:
@Override
public void onBindViewHolder(ItemViewHolder holder, int position) {
    Album album = getItem(position);

    //показываем прогрессбар
    holder.progressBarCardAlbum.setVisibility(ProgressBar.VISIBLE);

    //устанавливаем текст
    holder.albumName.setText(album.getTitle());
    if (album.getDescription() != null) {
        holder.albumDescription.setText(album.getDescription());
    }

    //отправляем асинхронный запрос и отслеживаем момент окончания загрузки
    Picasso.with(context)
            .load(album.getSizes().get(0).getSrc())
            .into(holder.albumImage, new Callback(){

                    @Override
                    public void onSuccess() {
                        //скрываем прогрессбар
                        holder.progressBarCardAlbum.setVisibility(ProgressBar.GONE);
                    }

                    @Override
                    public void onError() {
                        //скрываем прогрессбар
                        holder.progressBarCardAlbum.setVisibility(ProgressBar.GONE);
                    }
            });
}

В первом случае вы прятали прогрессбар, не дождавшись окончания загрузки, так как загрузка в Picasso выполняется в другом потоке (при данной конструкции) - это обусловлено тем, что работа с сетью запрещена из UI-потока. Во втором же прогрессбар будет скрываться в момент окончания загрузки, или возникновения ошибки.

First I want to thank all of you for coming to the Beach Weekend. It was a lot of fun and I loved seeing you all and teaching again. Thanks attempting some of those crazy new partner poses and sharing your weekend with me.
This summers been good hot weather with occasional thunderstorms, really big hair, which translates to very high humidity, hot sand, and over 80 degree ocean temperature, all of which I love.
Why is it that no matter where or how long your vacation is, it's not until the end that everything really clicks? I've been here for two and a half months, and just now I've been meeting friends and going out, having a lot of fun. I got back into golfing and met a great bunch of women who golf together on Tuesdays, then go out for dinner and drinks. Plus I've gotten to know a few cute potential Cabana boys*.
I'm so excited about the fall and my new schedule. Most of the classes are the same; I'm just adding a couple and taking one away and changing a few of the levels. Not that any of you ever look at the levels, so it's really for all the new students that will be flocking to the classes.
I want to thank all of you for being really kind to new students. It says a lot for you to open up to them and make them feel welcome. It's challenging just to get people to come in the door, so the more we can make them feel welcome the better.
Also if you know of anyone who is ready to start Yoga I'm teaching a 4-week Intro to Yoga series on Saturday at 4pm in the afternoons. There's break in the middle of the series, so hopefully it won't take much time out of their weekend. It's a great way to help someone get into yoga without you having to drag their butts with you to your class.
Yin is back twice a month on Wednesday evening, wearing your Pajama's would be fine. I am really trying to build a mediation practice and I need your help. I think together we can make this class work to open our hips and clear our heads to sit. Let's face it, there is an awful lot of Yang out there, so I think a bit of Yin would be grand.
Tuesday evenings I'm starting a late class at the Yoga and Movement Center in Walnut Creek. I love Diane's studio and wanted a later class, so any of you please come and help me build this class, as it's always challenging to begin at a new place. Familiar faces are helpful.
One way to really bump up your practice is to do these 3- hour intensives that I set up once a month. It's different from the regular classes, as we take our time and really work on some things, which leaves loads of time for very long Savasana's. So this means that if you have been in the beginning classes for years, it's time to try something new.
If enough of you show up, I promise to wear PINK**!
Sorry I couldn't find a slot for a class at Downtown Yoga in Pleasanton, but hopefully you guys can come down to Danville once in awhile. I'll try again in January.
Don't forget that Tony Briggs is coming to Diablo Yoga Center October 6th. He is my main teacher full of spice and loads of information.
So now that the Hurricanes are churning and heading this way, so it's time for me to hit the road. As much as I love my Mother, it sometimes gets to be a bit trying since they have that ability to be able to revert you back into 15 years old? She is doing much better with cardiac rehab and getting stronger each week. It's amazing how much I've learned about heart conditions. Do you realize that the signs for a heart attack for women can be anything from an upper backache, which Mom had to just a pain in the jaw. So pay attention to what you are feeling and get it checked out.
So once again we are heading north this time to Boston then Chicago before heading west. Can't wait to get be home and see everyone and start my new schedule.
*Cabana boys are lovely gentlemen that I want to take home and train them to become the perfect yoga assistants. This of course they know nothing about.
**Pink is not my favorite color.

Bitcoin's future could be rooted in Plato's philosophies
Coin Rivet columnist Joseph DeBono examines how a world shaped by Bitcoin could follow the very path set out 2,350 years ago in Athens
Joseph Debono
Monty Python's "Life of Brian" is a work of comedic genius of the highest order. Among the best scenes in that film is Romanes Eunt Domus.
Brian, an aspiring member of a Judaean resistance group, attempts to vandalise Pontius Pilate's palace with anti-Roman graffiti. As Brian covers the walls with Romanes eunt domus – a phrase of such mangled grammar that it makes me wince every time. John Cleese's centurion surprises him, and starts correcting that atrocious Latin with a mixture of such utter physical brutality and ruthless didacticism that it evokes in me Latin classes with a professor whose methods were by and large identical to those of Cleese's centurion.
Brian works on his grammar
But, the last time I watched, there arose also a thought leading from those ancient days to the age of Bitcoin.
I learnt Latin by methods very similar to those by which the centurion schooled Brian – intimidating, traumatic… and terrifyingly effective. Which is why the idiomatic and semantic cacophonies of Vires in Numeris, the Latin tagline of Bitcoin, wreak havoc with my linguistic sensibilities.
Vires in Numeris purportedly means "strength in numbers", supposedly, because it is no form that Biggus Dickus would have understood.
"Strength", in its Latin form vis, as well as in English, is a collective noun, therefore singular. The plural vires means a collection of physical forces, such as strong enemy armies, not the vague abstraction here. The preposition "in" is so very English in idiom that it conveys the very opposite of the intended meaning, which is "power arising out of numbers".
The first law of Latin composition is to understand concretely the meaning of the English original and then to render that meaning into Latin, not to bung your English phrases into various search engines and translate the words.
The preposition "in" as in in numeris simply means "inside/upon numbers", hardly, I imagine, what the phrase should mean.
The Romans would have used the preposition ex, "(arising) out of", hence vis ex numeris. Even better, drop the preposition, use the instrumental ablative, and render it into vis numeris, "strength by the agency of numbers". Hail Caesar, and all that sort of the thing. But even in its bastardized form, Vires in Numeris harks back a very long time ago, to a virtually identical idea, but one that that has soaked history in tyranny and blood.
This idea was born in a city that has probably had a more disproportionate effect on civilization than even Rome and its language. It was said of Athens, even 2500 years ago, that it was the school of Greece itself, and in that city at that time, there walked a man who has about as good a claim to be called the Father of Civilization as any other man. That man was Plato, an aristocrat and wrestler whose mastery of his language was so great that his writing makes Shakespeare's English sound clumsy and uncouth in comparison.
Now, Plato did not just wrestle in athletic contests, he also wrestled with some very big problems, namely the problems of justice, ethics, truth, and distinguishing truth from the illusions that we receive through our senses.
Throughout his life, Plato suffered from the instability and insecurity of the Greek world. The Athens he lived in alternated between radical democracy and tyranny, it burnt with war, and with the fever of plague. It rang with all the chaos of its radical democracy, and was infested with philosophers for hire, irreverent poets, and rhetors using their art to tilt the scales of justice in favour of the highest bidder. Politicians, poets, artists, sophists and others of their ilk appeared to Plato to distort truth, and foment trouble and division for their own enrichment or political benefit. Much like today then, except that Plato was a troubled genius and overcome by the pity of it all.
Cwypto?
When Plato thought that he had found his solution, he put it down in his famous Republic and, in that work, he built the foundations of his political philosophy – a political philosophy that has been called "autocratic", "paternalistic", and "totalitarian", a blueprint of political thought that significant thinkers have held responsible for the emergence of every sanguinary numbskull to put his ideology, philosophy, or personal creed above the well-being of citizens or any other consideration.
Plato's solution to the chaos and anarchy of his time was to propose a state rigidly divided into classes, to add very strong doses of collectivization, and then to unite philosophy and politics, and hand absolute political leadership over to philosophers, or to politicians who had become philosophers.
These were to run the state in whichever way they deemed best in accordance with the "truth" as philosophy had revealed it to them. If the Republic is not at the top of Kim Jong-un's bog-reading list, it's not for lack of affinity.
Horrific model
Why did Plato, who was not only a brilliant man, but a fundamentally good one, come up with such a horrific model of the state? The answer lies with his disgust at the chaos, turbulence, and rhetorical contortions of Greece at his time, and his conviction that only truth could lead men out of chaos into the light of truth.
For the people, thought Plato, in the Greek world of his age, were imprisoned in a dark cave, unable to look anywhere except at the Tartarean back of that cave. Behind them stood their current rulers and thinkers, all of them corrupt liars, using fire to cast shadows and illusions on the back of the cave.
Through this, they fed their people a distorted reality only of benefit to these rulers. Philosophy alone, supposed Plato, could give a slave, who might escape the cave, the understanding of true objective reality, and shatter the bonds of that physical and intellectual slavery. And this truth that philosophy reveals? According to Plato it is the forms, essentially non-sensible paradigms that are in a state of transcendent and unchanging perfection.
Everything material is merely a shadow of these transcendent forms, and, for so being, is only corruption and illusion. So, forget artists and poets (liars, all of them), the only way to attain to an understanding of the ultimate truth of the forms is through a rigorously logical and objective philosophical process that is essentially mathematical.
It is then Truth arising out of numbers, rather close to the nebulously expressed idea of Vires in Numeris, i.e. that it is out of numbers that truth, therefore salvation, or health, or strength arises. Who would've thunk it?
It is amazingly evocative for a Classicist to see in Bitcoin a lineage that runs back to the Golden Age of Civilization. But it is equally moving, and profoundly so, that while this key premise of Bitcoin is the same as the Platonic one, that soundness arises out of numbers, there is also implicit in it a direction of thought that is truly novel, and an estrangement from the Platonic philosophies that have held us fast in their grip for 2500 years.
For Plato took his premise that truth – or soundness – comes from numbers, and made it the foundation of a political philosophy of totalitarianism centralised around its ruler, and the complete subordination of everyone else to whatever this philosopher-king holds to be the highest truth. For it is in the model of such a rigidly organised state, that we can eliminate the inefficiencies of anarchy, chaos and illusion (for example: self-determination, spontaneity, inspiration, art and poetry). And that is how Plato took the leap from truth arising out of numbers to hegemonic centralisation that has soaked the world in blood and tears.
Plato demanded rulers be the high priests of transcendent truth and in consequence the world has suffered the outrages of Caesars, High Priests, Philosopher Princes, Kaisers, Fuhrers, and Comrades ever since.
But with Bitcoin there may be new hope. For across the abyss of time, the same old Platonic idea of soundness in numbers has sprung up anew in Bitcoin, but with a direction and momentum in total opposition, that is towards decentralisation and peer-to-peer interaction beyond the power of the state and the king.
Plato gave us the abominations of ideology and ideological politicians. We know the horrors that came of this. As we are aware of a growing sense of unease about our time – a time when states and corporations seem to be growing bigger and bigger, and extending their control further and further.
Distributed network
Plato has shown us that no man is fit to hold power. Can Bitcoin slay this hydra at last? Can it restore some measure of real parity between organisation and individual? Can it spike the guns of that he who governs by whatever creed he espouses, irrespective of the blood he sheds? Can a model of governance arise out of a distributed network that will achieve the right balance between organised efficiency and human spontaneity and self-determination? Or will it bring with it some hitherto unknown ogre of its own?
It is impossible to predict, but it will be interesting to watch at the very least, if only to see a 2500-year-old monolith of thought turned to dust and sand.
And vires, eh? Such an insufficient word for a concept that really expresses "truth" and "trust", rather than the abstract notion of "strength" that it does in this context! So… hmmm… fides. Yes, fides, trust, honesty, loyalty, good faith, truth even by extension. So, there you have it. Fides ex numeris – trust and truth arising out of numbers. What better consonance of Plato's premise and Bitcoin's?
Fides ex numeris. Write it out a hundred times!
Disclaimer: It has been said that the European philosophical tradition consists of a series of footnotes to Plato… That's how foundational Platonic philosophy is. My treatment of this subject in this column is, inevitably, tremendously superficial, trivial… and eccentric, but that is unavoidable given the limitations of space, and the challenging of conveying clearly specialised ideas of tremendous scope to a general readership. Anyone wanting far more substantial treatment of Plato's political philosophy may want to start off with Karl Popper's The Open Society and its Enemies, and work his way from there. This column is a mere taste or impression, oh how Plato would have hated that!

The subject of numerous glowing reviews from Great Food Club members, The Cholmeley Arms is clearly hitting the spot for lots of food and pub lovers.
A classic country inn with rooms, it is part of the Easton Estate, situated near beautiful Easton Walled Gardens. Run by John and Lesley Berry since 2009, when it was extensively refurbished, it has an attractive village shop – Berry's – on site, housed in an old barn. Berry's Farm Shop as it is called, has a particularly good butchery section.
Cholmeley Arms licensee and head chef John Berry is a trained butcher, so he really knows his ingredients, and this is a big reason why his pub has gained such a fine reputation for food. Especially worth seeking out are the pub's game dishes, which are often made with produce from Easton Estate.
The Cholmeley Arms is a past Countryside Alliance Awards Regional Champion and was highly commended in the final Awards.

Blockchain Bigfoot
ST. POMME DE TERRE – Things are once again getting interesting in the isolated hamlet of St. Pomme de Terre, courtesy of the town's most famous resident.
That's right – Bigfoot is back in the news.
The hirsute entrepreneur is shifting the focus of his business empire. While the gains made in the outerwear space remain robust – YetiFoot-Grayman's footwear sales continue to dominate the marketplace – Bigfoot has found himself stagnating. Success is wonderful and all, but giant man-apes aren't usually inclined to rest on their laurels.
Bigfoot sought to extend himself into a nontraditional space, to tackle an industry ripe for the kind of disruption that only a mythical seven-foot-tall beast can bring to the table.
Cryptocurrency.
Through his intermediaries, Bigfoot recently announced his entry into the cryptocurrency space with his proprietary CryptidCoin. He is leading the effort, though he has taken on a number of partners as well. His longtime associate Yeti is onboard (though his primary focus remains YetiFoot-Grayman – he assumed the mantle of CEO when Bigfoot set off in shambling pursuit of this new venture). Other notables involved in the project include the Jersey Devil and Mothman (there are rumors that Nessie is also involved, but no one has been able to get her on the record).
"CryptidCoin is the way of the future by way of the mysteries of the past," said Bigfoot's translator amidst the hoots and howls of his boss's communication from the lectern. "By bringing together a collection of mythical beasts rooted in our world's history, we have assembled an ideal team to build a pathway toward what is to come."
While it might seem that the current crypto space is a bit too crowded for a newcomer to make any significant impact, Bigfoot is counting on both his keen financial acumen and his giant hairy privilege to help him crash his way to the front of the line.
Earlier reports on this endeavor seemed to indicate that Bigfoot would be exploring the NFT space, but those indications appear to have been nothing more than rumors. Bigfoot himself scoffed at the notion, grunting and growling in a manner that we're pretty sure was meant to be laughter.
"NFTs are playthings," said the translator above the rising din. "They are electronic baubles that serve as status symbols and little more. They carry no intrinsic value beyond the aesthetic – and the aesthetic is not why they are being purchased. Perhaps their so-called collectability will help them maintain or even gain value, but to my mind, they are little more than a distraction from the true values that can derived from the virtual financial sphere."
It should be noted that while Bigfoot has stepped away from his day-to-day duties at YetiFoot, he is still very much a part of that team. And the financing for this new endeavor is completely separate from that business – the bulk of the initial investment came from the massive defamation settlement Bigfoot received from his lawsuit against the Duplass Brothers for their docuseries "Sasquatch," while all additional funds were raised via private capital.
Whether or not this endeavor ultimately proves successful, one thing is for certain: Bigfoot is taking it just as seriously as his many other business holdings. This is not a joke. Nor is it an effort to cash in on a trend. Bigfoot sees the potential of CryptidCoin as the next logical step in the continued growth of his empire – an empire, I might add, that he insists on continuing to headquarter right here in St. Pomme de Terre.
As always, the locals are effusive in their praise of their town's most famous resident.
"Bigfoot's always doin' somethin' impressive," said Mark Pelletier, local lumberman and town selectman. "He's turned our little town into a bustling cradle of industry, one of the most economically vital spots in the whole dang country. If he thinks somethin' is worth an investment, well by God, someone is gonna make them some money."
"I don't really understand all this crypto nonsense," said waitress Wanda Arsenault. "I mean, is it money? Where is it? I can't see it. It's all a bit strange, y'know? But hey – if Bigfoot says it's for real, then it's for real. That is one missing link from beyond the mists of time that has a good head for business."
Expect the official launch date for CryptidCoin to be announced in the coming weeks.

Read a brief summary of this topic
Bruce Lee, Chinese name Li Jun Fan, (born November 27, 1940, San Francisco, California, U.S.—died July 20, 1973, Hong Kong), American-born film actor who was renowned for his martial arts prowess and who helped popularize martial arts movies in the 1970s.
Lee was born in San Francisco, but he grew up in Hong Kong. He was introduced to the entertainment industry at an early age, as his father was an opera singer and part-time actor. The younger Lee began appearing in films as a child and was frequently cast as a juvenile delinquent or street urchin. As a teenager, he took up with local gangs and began learning kung fu to better defend himself. At that time he also started dance lessons, which further refined his footwork and balance; in 1958 Lee won the Hong Kong cha-cha championship.

Van Williams and Bruce Lee in The Green Hornet
Lee's parents were increasingly disturbed by his street fighting and run-ins with the police, and they sent him to live in the United States shortly after he turned 18. He lived with family friends in Seattle, where he finished high school and studied philosophy and drama at the University of Washington. While in Seattle he opened his first martial arts school, and in 1964 he relocated to Oakland, California, to found a second school. It was about that time that he developed his own technique—jeet kune do, a blend of ancient kung fu, fencing, boxing, and philosophy—which he began teaching instead of traditional martial arts. He drew the attention of a television producer after giving a kung fu demonstration at a Los Angeles-area karate tournament, and he was cast as the sidekick Kato in the television series The Green Hornet (1966–67).
Lee had difficulty finding acting jobs after the cancellation of The Green Hornet, and he began supplementing his income by giving private jeet kune do lessons to Hollywood stars, including Steve McQueen. In the 1969 film Marlowe, Lee received notice for a scene in which he destroyed an entire office through kickboxing and karate moves. Troubled by his inability to find other suitable roles, however, he moved back to Hong Kong in 1971. There Lee starred in two films that broke box-office records throughout Asia, and he later found success in the United States with Tang shan da xiong (1971; Fists of Fury [U.S.], or The Big Boss [Hong Kong English title]) and Jing wu men (1972; The Chinese Connection [U.S.], or Fist of Fury [Hong Kong English title]).
Lee used his sudden box-office clout to form his own production company, and he coproduced, directed, wrote, and starred in his next film, Meng long guo jiang (1972; Return of the Dragon [U.S.], or The Way of the Dragon [Hong Kong English title]). Lee's following film, Enter the Dragon (1973), was the first joint venture between Hong Kong- and U.S.-based production companies, and it became a worldwide hit, thrusting Lee into international movie stardom. Tragically, he died six days before the film's Hong Kong release. The mysterious circumstances of his death were a source of speculation for fans and historians, but the cause of death was officially listed as swelling of the brain caused by an allergic reaction to a headache medication. At the time, Lee had been working on a film called Game of Death, which was pieced together with stand-ins and cardboard cutouts of Lee's face and was released in 1978.
After Lee's death, his films gained a large cult following. Lee himself became one of the biggest pop culture icons of the 20th century, and he is often credited with changing the way Asians were presented in American films. A slightly fictionalized biopic, Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story, appeared in 1993. His son, Brandon, followed Lee into acting, and he died after being shot with a misloaded prop gun while filming The Crow (1994).


Here is a very unique late 1880s cabinet card photograph of two young children, presumably of asian descent. My first guess is Japanese, but it could be Chinese or even something else.
The photographer is identified as J.R. Pearson at 96th Fifth Ave and 43 and 45 Federal St. The back of the photo gives the cities as Pittsburgh and Allegheny City, Pennsylvania.
The names written on the back are "Berth and Lillie James" with the date of 1888. It is hard to know when these names were written and how accurate they are. I obtained the photo from eBay.
I did a quick search on ancestry.com and newspapers.com for various combinations and permutations of Bertha and Lillie James of nearby cities in Pennsylvania. There were dozens to hundreds of results, given the relatively common first and surnames involved.
Plus, I sincerely doubt the birth names of these young girls were "Bertha" and "Lillie". That is a complicating variable in this mystery.
I would love if you could help me tell their story! Let me know what you find.
Were Bertha and Lillie sisters?
Are these their birth names?
What presumably traditional garb are they wearing?
What was the Asian immigrant experience in 1880s Pennsylvania?
What do you think, feel, and wonder about as you look at this photo.


Continuing with Benno Thoma's photosets from Colombia we now have Sven Basquiat to show us what he's got. Though you've seen Sven in action many times, this is his first photoset. We hope you enjoy his Art Collection Image debut.

Garringo – der Henker (Originaltitel: Garringo) ist ein spanisch-italienischer Spaghettiwestern, den Rafael Romero Marchent 1968, auf dem Höhepunkt des Genres, inszenierte. Der mit Anthony Steffen und Peter Lee Lawrence in den Hauptrollen besetzte Film kam am 15. Mai 1970 auch in deutschsprachiger Version, allerdings gekürzt, in die Kinos. In Spanien selbst wurde er erst 1972 erstaufgeführt.

Handlung
Als Kind muss Johnny hilflos bei der Ermordung seines Vaters zusehen, dem von seinen Kameraden Verrat vorgeworfen wurde. Er wächst bei einem Sheriff und dessen Tochter Julie zu einem ernsthaften jungen Mann heran, der das erlebte Trauma mit einem Doppelleben zu verarbeiten sucht. Der sanftmütige Junge wird dann zu einem kaltblütigen Verbrecher, der Soldaten gefangen nimmt und tötet.
Die Militärführung beauftragt zur Aufklärung der Verbrechen den klugen und entschlossenen Leutnant Garringo, der nach einigen Kämpfen gegen Banditen ein Freund des Sheriffs und Verehrer von Julie wird. Als er die wahre Geschichte enthüllen kann, wendet sich Garringo an den Sheriff, der zwischen Gefühl und Pflichterfüllung schwankt. Bei einem weiteren Überfall auf einen Konvoi wird Johnny von einem Komplizen wegen der Verteilung der Beute getötet.

Kritik
Einer jener zahlreichen Western, dem es an Kohärenz mangelt, schrieb B. Duffort in "Saison '71":" Die psychologische Entwicklung des Jungen, die seine Gefühle fast automatisch hin zum Verbrechen verwandelt, wird nicht hinreichend ausgeführt, und so bleibt die Action als einziger Motor des Films." Noch deutlicher urteilt das Lexikon des internationalen Films: "Ein schlampig gefertigter Italowestern mit gewaltverherrlichenden Tendenzen."

Politisch interpretiert auch G.P. im Film-Dienst: "Offener haben bis jetzt nur wenige Italo-Western faschistische Gesinnung verkündet. Da versucht ein Regisseur 80 Minuten lang zu zeigen, wie nichtswürdig ein Leben sei. (…) Was ist dann die ganze Geschichte noch anders als der Aufruf zur Euthanasie?"

Zwiespältig urteilt der Evangelische Film-Beobachter: "Ein formal beachtlicher Italo-Western, der seine barbarische Geschichte mit kompromißloser Härte präsentiert. Ab 18 möglich, aber ohne Empfehlung."

Bemerkungen
Die Außenaufnahmen des Filmes entstanden in Spanien (nämlich in Alcalá de Henares, Seseña, Ciempozuelos und Soria); die Innenaufnahmen in der römischen Elios-Studios.

At Norkol, there's no ceiling on continuous improvement. Just in time for 2019, Norkol has implemented Hawkpoint and is in the process of implementing cieTrade systems to revamp operational tracking and inventory management. We can't wait to tell you all about the ways we're making service faster, production smoother, and efficiency higher.
After first rolling out the cieTrade operating system in June of this year, Norkol has leveraged this technology to wholistically streamline our existing inventory and data tracking systems like never before. CieTrade's data cataloguing and retrieval capabilities allows Norkol to more easily monitor Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), making our existing processes digitally synergistic and real-time sensitive. With the new sophisticated tracking available, Norkol can do more of what we do best.
What does that mean for the customer? CieTrade gives us access to easy reporting, real-time inventory and work-in-progress tracking, as well as Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) for shipping documents and invoices. Both EDI and real-time methods for tracking inventory and orders allow us to provide even faster, more seamless service to our customers. Not only can we electronically send and retain invoices and documentation, we can retrieve those records for customers with ease when needed. We've always believed that better systems at Norkol means better service for the customer, and upgrading our operating system is our latest opportunity to raise our standards even higher.
Hawkpoint is a production management system designed specifically for the converting industry, and Norkol is leveraging it to streamline workflow, manage inventory, and reduce waste at our converting operation. By integrating Norkol's shop floor, materials requirements planning (MRP), and dashboard reporting software systems, Hawkpoint seamlessly tracks our entire production.
How does that help converting services customers? In an industry where our paper and packaging converting operation can heavily impact your supply chain, Hawkpoint's inventory management capabilities helps us do all we can to keep our customers competitive. Improved coordination between each of our tracking and reporting systems allows Norkol to increase the timeliness of our operation through more accurate documentation. With a better understanding of the equipment, processes, and product available, we have greater opportunities to offer transformational service to the customer. In terms of efficiency, this production and inventory management upgrade also supports Norkol's waste reduction initiatives designed to make the most of our resources.
Implementing and integrating both cieTrade and Hawkpoint was a major team effort for the Norkol family, and we're proud to lead a team of people dedicated to continuously improving processes and services for our customers. For more information on the ways Norkol continually works to make our products and services better for the customer, connect with an industry expert via the Contact page.


Considering updating your air conditioning in Ann Arbor? Want to be prepared when you get an estimate for a new air conditioner? Not sure what questions you should ask the professional providing an estimate?
Starting the search for new air conditioning in Ann Arbor can be intimidating. The units are typically fairly pricey and most of us aren't exactly experts in heating and cooling. What can you do to make sure you're getting a good deal and top-quality service? Our best advice is to be prepared from the beginning, while you're getting estimates. Put together a list of questions to ask during your estimate and you'll feel more informed about the products and services you will pay for and get a good sense of the professionalism of the company providing an estimate.
Not sure where to begin? We thought that might be an issue, so we built a list of helpful questions you can ask during any estimate for air conditioning.
Questions to ask during your estimate for air conditioning in Ann Arbor.
Make sure the estimate is factoring in the size of your home, the shade it gets during the day, and other factors when determining the size you need. Rather than just assuming you need the same size as what you already have, you want the estimate to start from scratch.
Follow-up this question with a probe into why the company offers those brands. You'll probably learn a lot about AC and the company you'll potentially be working with. You can dig into some brand research on your own time after you get the estimate.
3. Do I need ductwork?
You don't want to pay for half a job and end up with a new AC and leaky ducts that are costing big bucks. Ask the estimator about your ducts to make sure they've been examined and you know what you're in for.
4. What new technologies should I consider?
Depending on your current situation, different options like ductless systems or upgraded accessories could be the best choice for you. Get some options rather than just going with the standard.
5. What can I expect for efficiency?
Whether you're keen on being green or not, efficient machines will save you money. Ask about Energy Star appliances and the SEER rating… higher ratings mean more savings!
6. When can you start work?
Ideally, you're shopping for new air conditioning in Ann Arbor before peak season hits, but that's not always how things work out. You want to know upfront if you'll be waiting a few days or several weeks to get started.
7. Can you provide proof of insurance?
In most cases, if you're contracting a company to do work on your home, you want to be sure they carry insurance. Asking for proof upfront is a good practice to assure you don't forget to look into it later on.
8. What guarantees or warranties are provided?
Find out if the company has any guarantees on the work provided or has service included for a period following installation. Learn what you can about warranties for the new system as well.
9. How are permits handled?
You'll probably need a permit for the installation of new air conditioning in Ann Arbor, and you don't want to be the one stuck handling the paperwork. The installing company should offer this service as a standard.
10. Can you tell me about rebates or tax credits?
Depending on the type of unit you go for, you may be eligible for rebates and tax credits. This is something you want to know early on because it will affect your bottom line and which AC unit you ultimately decide to install.
11. What is the final cost?
If you're like most buyers, you want to know what you'll be paying out the door, no surprises. Because you're getting an estimate, the price isn't necessarily guaranteed, but make sure you're looking at a number that includes everything down to the sales tax!
Selecting a top-of-the-line system and quality installation definitely isn't free, so if you want to talk about financing or a payment term, ask during the estimate.
Call CMR Mechanical today for an air conditioning estimate!
Even if you don't know that much about heating and cooling, these questions will help you sound like a pro. Unless the estimating company is trustworthy and offering quality products and service, it's not likely they'll make it through this list of questions unscathed.
For an estimate on new air conditioning in Ann Arbor, give CMR Mechanical a call today.


is like any profession: it utilizes a lot of specialized words (indemnification, liability, and so on) So if you don't comprehend something about a policy you're about to buy, STOP. Ask the insurance coverage professional you're talking with to support and discuss in terms that you can understand. If you still don't get it, make them explain it once again. Absolutely nothing is even worse than finalizing on for a policy that either costs excessive or doesn't cover enough, since you didn't feel comfy asking concerns about it beforehand.Rental insurance can assist you to recover your losses in case of damage done to your landlord's home that results in loss of your own. Items you desire covered will be listed with your insurance coverage company and you can choose the total up to be covered. This can really assist to change your possessions if they are all lost due to an event.By taking the time to look into the different pet health insurance coverage policies that are offered, you are sure to discover the perfect match for your family pet's needs and your pocketbook. Having a great animal health insurance coverage policy can offer you much-required support in the occasion your family pet becomes ill or hurt, as well as supplying comfort every day.

BOLD IDEAS
That Kind of Girl
July 12, 2014 by Megan Downey
Yes, yes, yes! From the opening scene to the the final blackout, Pussy R.E.P.'s production of That Kind of Girl delights, titillates, enlightens, and sears in pure peppy, poignant perfection. This stirring ensemble piece explores what it means to be female in the 21st century, and its spirit and message are infectious and cathartic.
Click for tickets
Originally conceived by Emma Lou Hébert (who turns in a compelling performance), the piece is a collection of young women's stories, with snippets from childhood through early adulthood. A mix of drama, stylized movement, sketch comedy and satire, it explores the patriarchy's responsibility for society's subconscious thinking, the absurdity of the post-rape blame game, the way in which women edit themselves to soften the opinions of others and what is taught to young girls about the necessity to be the object of desire.
Game show gags and maxi pad commercial satires are peppered between beautifully gut-wrenching stories of depression, eating disorders, street harassment, and more. Many scenes involve two, three, or more monologues woven together, much in the style of A Chorus Line, with each woman's individual experience relating to that of the others. One particularly poignant scene has Hébert, Anna Lynch, and Natalie Piegari spinning in and out of center stage, as memories of sexual assault spin through their minds and their dialogue.
Visually stunning, Jocelyn Knazik's wonderful direction is displayed in the dynamic movements. From summitting mountains made from lined up ottomans, tables, and chairs, to human chains curling smoothly around one another, the actors move through the space fluidly and powerfully, creating fantastic frames. Knazik has somehow made having three women climb onto a kitchen table and shout to the rafters look perfectly right. I dare not say perfectly normal, because this piece is anything but; it is extraordinary. The funky movement is compounded by a soundtrack that ranges from hauntingly beautiful to cozily upbeat. The music works. The movement works. This production just works.

Details and tickets
The show is well built, well directed by Knazik, and well embodied by the ensemble cast. Hébert, Lynch, Piegari, Riley Bartlebaugh, Nadia Mohebban, and Korinn Walfall all display great charm and depth, and I believed every word they said. Each wears her heart on her sleeve while telling her coming of age story, offering the audience the privilege of seeing her discover the glory and grotesqueness of existing while female today.
A few times, as a scene comes to a head, the full cast takes a deep breath together and exhales in unison. You can feel the support, the release, and the trust. It is powerful.
That Kind of Girl is a mighty piece of theatre. It asks us to examine how we raise girls and boys, how we treat women and men, and where feminism stands in society today. The script is strong, with words strung together deliciously, flowing forth with ease and conviction from the stellar cast. The energy in the room is palpable. There is a sense that all the women on stage are pouring their hearts into their performances and doing so with immense conviction and joy.
I want to be that kind of girl. Go see this show and I'll bet you'll want to be too.

I'm finally getting photos of a sweater I finished more than a month ago. I had been calling this my SPX sweater, although I didn't really think I'd need a sweater in Maryland in September. Now it turns out Steven and I won't be able to attend this year and instead I'll be staying with my grandmother while she goes through a surgery, which means the sweater may get to make its debut after all.
It's the Funky sweater from Rowan #34, last year's winter issue. I used the now-discontinued yarn called for in the pattern for the jacket version, Rowanspun Chunky in color Fern. I used between 7 and 8 skeins to make the Medium size. The pattern calls for 9, but I did not use the yarn to sew my seams, which might have made some of the difference. I generally knit loosely and I think used US 10.5 (but maybe 10) needles instead of the 11 called for in the pattern.
I think I followed the pattern as is except to add 2 inches to the sleeves to accommodate my gorilla-like arms. The hook-and-eye closures are also my innovation (I don't really want a big, cozy sweater that is open and drafty at the front) although I am in the process of removing the ones I've put in and moving them so it will close more tightly. As shown in the back view, there's plenty of room for layering under this (and the lumpiness is due to my not standing straight).
With big yarn and needles, this was a very quick knit. I think I spent 3-4 weeks working on it only intermittently. This photo shows the side shaping, which is pretty much all that goes on here. The stitch pattern is so simple that it's a great mindless project, but the shaping keeps it from being too bulky. I loved the rough, tweedy yarn, and it has softened considerably after one wash. There was quite a bit of vegetable matter in the yarn and I expect to be picking burrs out of it for some time to come, but I'm a sucker for its rustic charm.
And this, I think, is the best part, what drew me to the sweater. I've never seen a crazy bobbled collar like this and it fascinated me. I didn't do the world's best job attaching the collar, but I still like the way it looks and it, too, gives the sweater more shape and character than many bulky knits have. All in all, while it was a straightforward and relatively quick project, I do think it's a fun and comfortable sweater I'll wear a lot (as weather permits; tonight was not ideal for heavy wool sweaters!) and have around for years to come.

Pallor mortis (Do latim pallor, significando palidez, e mortis, morte) é o empalidecimento da pele que ocorre logo após a morte. Ocorre entre 15 a 25 minutos depois do óbito, sendo que nas pessoas de pele mais clara ocorre imediatamente. A palidez desenvolve-se tão rapidamente que tem pouco ou nenhum uso na determinação da hora da morte, sendo usada apenas para diagnóstico no caso do cadáver ser encontrado antes de decorridos 30-45 minutos após a morte.

Causa
O pallor mortis é resultado do colapso sistêmico da circulação capilar. A gravidade faz com que o sangue afunde para as partes inferiores do corpo, criando o livor mortis.

We're in Glacier now and with one bar of cell service. A bit sketchy, but working. This is the view nearby. Our campsite is surrounded by cedars, hemlock and spruce. Because we are camping 3K feet lower than Yellowstone, it is warmer.

ST. JOSEPH -- The Athletic Director at the College of Saint Benedict is stepping down.
Glen Werner's last day at CSB is September 11th. School officials say she is leaving both Saint Benedict's and the St. Joseph area to pursue other career opportunities.
Werner spent five years as athletic director where she led the way on the new $12-million Outdoor Athletic Complex, helped Claire Lynch Hall receive several upgrades and transitioned the CSB brand and logo from the Blazers to the Bennies.
CSB Vice President Mary Geller says they have been fortunate to have Werner's excellent leadership the past five years.
Glen brought energy and passion to her work for which I remain deeply grateful. She exemplified the value of sport for young women.
Werner is a 1993 graduate from the College of Saint Benedict. A national search for her replacement will begin immediately.
