The Interview: Only a Bad Movie Could Start This Culture War
Filed to:rant
The Interview begins with a thought experiment. What if, tomorrow, North Korea demonstrated that it had nuclear missiles that could destroy the US from across the Pacific? The resulting movie is a mess, but as a political satire it obviously hit its mark. Here's why such a terrible flick started a culture war.
Yes, there will be major spoilers ahead. This is an analysis, not a review.
Yes, It Really Is a Pro-Assassination Movie
Let's set aside the obvious failings of this movie, which critics have gleefully elaborated already. What's more relevant is that The Interview inspired a pretty successful digital attack on Sony's computer systems, allowing a group of (possibly North Korean) hackers called Guardians of the Peace (#GOP) to release several upcoming Sony films on BitTorrent — as well as reams of private email from Sony employees.
The Interview Meta-Review: Not Really Worth The Drama
After weeks of prevaricating, terrorist threats, conspiracy theories and presidential…
That said, it's interesting to compare critical reception of The Interview to that of Salman Rushdie's arguably overrated book The Satanic Verses. After Rushdie's novel came out in 1988, the author had to rely on police protection for years because Iran's Ayatollah Khomeini issued a fatwā calling for Rushdie's death. At that time, critics fell over themselves to say how amazing a literary achievement The Satanic Verses was. Consensus seemed to be that Rushdie was suffering political persecution for his art.
Seth Rogen and James Franco, however, are suffering for a shart. Nobody wants to stick up for a butt-obsessed bromance like The Interview, which is all about how the host of a dumb celeb interview show named Dave Skylark (James Franco) and his geeky producer Aaron Rapoport (Seth Rogen) are tasked with assassinating Kim Jong Un. It turns out that the pop culture-obsessed Kim is a major fan of the Skylark show, and invites the two to North Korea for an exclusive interview. When the CIA gets wind of their project, Dave and Aaron are given a Get Smart-style assignment to take out the dictator during the interview.
Hijinks ensue. It turns out that Kim really is kind of a cool guy, and that his PR chief kind of has the hots for Aaron. Kim and Dave spend the day together bonding over their mean dads, their secret love of Katy Perry, and partying their faces off with booze, pot and naked ladies.
Unfortunately, Kim is also a brutal dictator who puts his people in death camps and promises to crush his enemies with nukes. But Dave has seen the real Kim, the vulnerable guy who can't live up to his dad's expectations. During their live interview, Dave is able to make Kim cry so hard over Katy Perry lyrics that he sharts his pants.
It seems like the movie is going to go in a predictably light satire direction at that point. Kim has been revealed as a human being, and nobody in North Korea will ever take a sharting Katy Perry fan seriously as Dear Leader. Dave and Aaron have bungled their assassination attempts, but Aaron's roll in the sheets with Kim's PR manager has helped start a coup, led by the now-machine-gun-toting PR manager herself. You can imagine the movie ending with Kim in prison, being tried by the new, democratic government — all thanks to those goofy guys whose love of pop culture and butt jokes somehow prepared them to save the world.
But that's not where the movie winds up. Instead, due to more hijinks, Dave and Aaron have to kill Kim in a grisly, genuinely disturbing scene, where we watch in slo-mo as Kim's face is distorted by an exploding tank shell, melting into fire and eventually ripping apart. It's a bizarrely serious moment and — as one character says later, about something related — "kind of fucked up, no?"
You can see why Sony hackers Guardians of the Peace considered the movie a cultural attack. No, it wasn't the "honey dicking" jokes, the dramatic anal penetration scenes, nor even the "me so solly" racist bits. It's because, as I said earlier, the movie is a serious argument for the assassination of Kim Jong Un. There is a deranged and violent political message in this film, and it apparently translated pretty damn well.
And so the Guardians of the Peace countered with a cultural attack of their own.
It's About Us, Stupid
Here's the thing that everyone seems to have missed about The Interview, though. It's mostly a satire of U.S. media, not North Korean dictators. All of the best jokes are about how the media covers politics, with Dave standing in for "news is entertainment" tabloid types and Aaron standing in for the reporter with a conscience. I loved this bit (I'm paraphrasing):
DAVE: That's the first rule of journalism! Give the people what they want!
AARON: That's not the first rule of journalism! That's like the first rule of circuses or something!
Later, when Dave tries to tell Aaron that Kim is really a great guy who is just misunderstood, Aaron reminds him: "This guy is a master of manipulating the media — and you are the media!"
The Interview is full of funny asides like that, reminding us that what we're really watching is a story about how political debates have been reduced to entertainment debates in the U.S. media. Even Kim's greatest political vulnerability is actually tied to entertainment. He sings Katy Perry when he thinks that nobody can hear him!
Indeed, media conflicts are what inaugurate most of the action in The Interview. We first meet Aaron when Dave is conducting an interview with Eminem (playing himself in total deadpan mode), where the notoriously homophobic rapper comes out very casually as gay. It's the biggest interview scoop of their lives, and the two are utterly beside themselves — they've hit the journalism jackpot! But then, at the celebratory party thrown by the network, Aaron runs into an old buddy from college who is working as a producer at 60 Minutes. The guy obviously thinks his job is far more important than Aaron's.
"But we have the same job! We are both TV producers!" Aaron says, flabbergasted.
"We do real news — and you do silly fun stuff," the guy sneers. "Nice job with whatever it was that you just did."
It's only after this moment of professional media snarkery that Aaron decides it's time to do something "important." So he puts in a call to the North Korean embassy, because he's heard that the dictator loves the Skylark show. Once they've secured the interview, Dave tries to get the CIA to let them broadcast the assassination live on TV. Which the CIA refuses. But of course, due to shenanigans, the whole thing does wind up on TV, making the whole deal more like the first rule of circuses rather than the first rule of journalism.
Still, no matter whether it's a sharp media satire or one long, awful ass joke, the movie is finally about solving political problems with murder. And it's still a failure as a story, because it's so uneven and badly plotted.
Culture Wars Are Never Where You Expect Them
So the question is, why did this mediocre satire of American media become the flashpoint in a culture war? Many of us found ourselves asking a similar question many months ago during the height of Gamergate, when videogame fans unexpectedly became central to a national debate over gender roles and feminism. Why does one piece of pop culture arouse our rage while another doesn't?
In the case of The Interview, I think the simple part of the answer is that it explicitly endorses killing a political figure, with no irony whatsoever. So it's easy to see why the Sony hackers might claim it as a trigger. But the complex part of the answer is that this is a movie about how the U.S. media manipulates people. It's about American corruption. Kim even gets a few lines about how the U.S. embargo has dramatically worsened the situation in North Korea.
This is a movie about the ugliness of media hypocrisy, and on a meta level it actually exemplifies that very hypocrisy. It's a terrible flick, released entirely to make money for a company, Sony, that has routinely victimized consumers with vendor lock-in bullshit and awful DRM that makes many of its products unwatchable unless you use "authorized" devices. There's a reason for all the half-hidden glee people have felt watching the Sony leaks. It's not because we're evil bastards who want to hurt people by reading their private email. It's because we all — Americans and North Koreans alike — hate the way corporations manipulate us into buying their shit because we just want to have a little fun with our stories and games before we fucking die.
Somehow, it its lameass way, The Interview managed to capture everything that is wrong with the way American corporate media and politics affect the world. It's ground zero for our current culture wars — not because it's a good movie, but because it is bad in an unexpectedly revealing way.

South Routt Schools Get Bailout As Coal Company Struggles
Colorado's state board of education has emptied its emergency fund to help a 300-student district caught up in a giant coal company's financial woes.
Previously: Peabody Coal Financial Woes Bode Ill For School District
The board voted 7-0 Thursday to put all its $1 million in reserves at the disposal of the South Routt district, which learned last month that Peabody Energy failed to make a property tax payment. Peabody filed for bankruptcy protection in April.
A department of education official said shortly before the board voted that the plight of the northwestern Colorado district is the kind of situation for which reserves are designed. The department will now ask the state legislature to replenish the fund. South Routt will be expected to repay the money if Peabody pays its taxes, but that could take years.
In related news, Peabody Energy is asking a bankruptcy court to allow it to pay property taxes across the country, saying its failure to do so has been a burden on jurisdictions where the mining giant was the key taxpayer.
In a motion filed earlier this week in federal court in St. Louis, Peabody says it had incurred nearly $30 million in property taxes. In a statement emailed to The Associated Press Friday, the company says it expects its request to be heard later this month.

I was very lucky to be there in the in the OKFestival 2014 at Berlin Germany. Thank you very much to the Financial aide that was granted by the organizers of the festival and for bringing me here.This was a great opportunity for me to know the people working with Open Knowledge Foundation. The same interest of knowing as well the OKF ambassadors, chapter leaders, open knowledge activists, advocates, and all others who have the passion to change the world. Changing the world by embracing openness. Making the government transparent and accountable. Using the data to share stories of our government, community and the society. By using and harnessing the technology to provide information and better services to the people. Connecting us all into a better society, where government, education, health, resources, wealth, and among others are ultimately equally important to everybody.
I'm here in this Festival because of the same motivation we share – to change the world for the better by embracing openness. As a data activist and advocating open government data in the Philippines, this festival is the best place to learn from the rest of the world.
The "Open government data updates from around the world" presented the highlights and activities of open data movement on each country. The open government data can be the initiative of the national government, civil society, local interest groups, universities, and technology enthusiasts. The initiatives can be in a national scale. While others are research platform using the technology. There are also open data movement working with other groups making government transparent and accountable for budget and expenditures. Others are exposing stories through the use of blogs, websites, and social media by presenting data visualization and a lot more. Further extent was a research action and movement of open data activists for their country to open government data specially national budget and expenditure, legislation, procurement, national resources, government services in education, health and welfare, and others.
There were other things happening in the festival. The keynote of Patrick Alley of Global Witness is a scale of how we can expose the wrong doings of individuals with high profile and power by following the money they spent and the trail of papers from different people involved in the pipeline. The fire side chat with Ork Okolloh is an inspiration for women with all the credentials on her wing she managed to help the society in so many ways. Also the presentation of Eric Hysen of Google "building the network of civic technology" was very creative in a way of connecting the roads leading to an ecosystem of data and technology where everything is "structured, updated and licensed." The event was also showcased with arts and culture. There were artist and performers all over the place. The food and beer were readily available in the courtyard. People are moving in and out of the Palais building, Maschinenehaus, Soda Club and Restaurant in the Kulturbrauerei complex. Everybody was celebrating because of their new found friends, new colleagues, partners, and the bonding as well as opportunities that can be across the globe.
This was a wonderful experience to share. I was able to meet in person the people behind OKF, like Rufus Pollock, Christian Villum. Daniella Mattern and the rest of the cohorts of volunteers and participants. It was also a great opportunity to meet an discuss with the global ambassadors and chapter leaders of OKF network which we can only relate on our mailing list of okfn-local-coordinators. Having brainstorming with other participants on each session as well as sitting in the courtyard with a glass of beer and a sausage as lunch or dinner. It was also a great time in Berlin, where they were also celebrating their German national team winning the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
I have some sort of photographs to share. The memories captured during and after the event. I'm looking forward to the next OKFestival 2015. Hopefully I can make it again this time to share our local accomplishments and work with the cohort of data activists with other local groups and chapter for an innovative project of OKF.
with Anders Pedersen OKF and Happy Feraren of BantayPH of the School of Data Fellowship. Anders was one of trainers in the Data Skills Training in Manila last May 2014 sponsored by World Bank and Open Data Philippines.
with some friends enjoying a glass of German beer and again full of thoughts on brainstorming and exchange of ideas on the festival and among others such as culture, places and heritage – with the Italian team and two Pinoys for the win!

Eulogy to a grandfather
It's been a year now, Says-U! We miss you as much as before! ***** Not having Granddad physically present amongst us will be hard for us to adjust to. No doubt he lives, but in a better place--a place where a few more jokes are cracked, and eyebrow's raised, now that he's there! Although we'll all be reunited with him at the Appointed Day, in the meantime, we can thank God for the blessing of knowing Jorge--a great man not particularly for having done great things (which he did), but for having lived a great, humor-filled life worthy of emulation and remembrance. I'm told he died with dignity and with his great sense of humor. During his death watch, his family surrounding him, although in pain, he would joke with everyone. He'd see his eldest grandson who, twenty years before, gave him an unripe persimmon to taste (an unripe persimmon, to those who know, will give you an incredible pucker you'll not soon forget). He accepted that offer of twenty years before and, of course, never forgot! During the hours just before his death, each time he'd see this prankster grandson, he would say, "You know what this guy did to me? You know? ...He gave me unripe persimmons!" and then he'd make a sour face. A simple memorial service will be held at St. Joseph's Catholic Church in Richardson, Texas on December 5, 2008. Eulogy to Jorge Eugene Wilcox, 1911-2008 We gather at Jorge Eugene Wilcox's memorial mass, yet we are not without hope. In the book of Titus (1:2), the Apostle Paul states that we have "hope of eternal life because God, who cannot lie, promised this before the world began". In the Book of Hebrews (12:1), Paul stated that as we live our life on Earth, a great cloud of witnesses of those who have gone before us watches us from heaven. In the Gospel of Luke (20: 28), Jesus says that "God is not the God of the dead, but of the living; for to God, all men (even the dead) are alive." In the Second book of Peter (3:8), Peter says that "with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day" Everyone here is blessed, blessed to have known Grandfather, a great man who lived an exemplary life. A man who cared for his family above all else. A man who loved his wife of 73 years more than anything and showed it not by merely saying "I love you", but by his everyday actions and deeds. By providing for his family. By helping at home, washing dishes and tending the garden. By doing the driving. By always being the one to answer the door. By regularly attending church. By being there for all those who cared to ask for advice, which he never offered unless asked (I for one, wish that I would have asked more often). By loving us all, even through our difficult times. By accepting us all for who we were. And not the least, by telling his jokes and bringing laughter in our lives. He was a great man because he lived a life, like a great film, that we would like to watch and remember again and again. We're sad now because the story has ended, and we have only our feeble memories as an aid to playing that story over again in our mind's eye. But we are not without hope. Because according to Jesus's own words: to God, Granddad still lives. Because, according to the Apostle Paul, we can hope in eternal life and it may be that Granddad is watching us right now. Because according to Peter, Granddad doesn't have long to wait for our heavenly reunion. Let us live on with this hope, knowing that every day on Earth is a precious gift, yet rejoicing in the hope of a reunion with Grandfather and all those who have gone before.
I am so sorry to hear about the loss of Jorge. In the near future God's kingdom that we pray for at Matthew 6:9, 10 will take full control of the earth and death will be done away with brought to nothing, in harmony with 1 Corinthians 15:26. Then we can look forward to seeing Jorge along with our other loved ones we have lost in the resurrection promised at Acts 15:28,29. May the God of all comfort be with your family at this time of need.
William Phares
To the family of Jorge Wilcox I'm very sorry about your loss. I would like to share some comfort from the scriptures. When somebody we love dies we wonder why but it is often nobodies fault.(Ecclesiastes 9:11) The good thing is we can look forward to seeing them again because of the hope of resurrection.(John 5:28,29)(Matthew 22:31,32) We also find joy in the hope of death being done away with for good.(Isaiah 25:8)(Revelation 21:4)(1st Corinthians 15:26) For now we just need to trust in our God Jehovah because he is our salvation.(Isaiah 12:2)
Michele and Michelle

Q: How can I bootstrap a software development community at my school? I'm a student at the University of South Florida who's frustrated with the educational environment in the Computer Science program. Right now, I'm taking "Program Design." I should be learning how to organize my source code into functions and modules in order to make my programs readable and maintainable; instead, I'm learning about arrays and recursion in C. Next semester, I have to take "Object-Oriented Design," which is taught through C++ (shudder.)
Two years ago, I fell in love with programming, and I've been learning as much as I could since then. The prospect of taking another C++ class bores me almost to tears. For that reason, I thought I would start a programming club in order to meet similarly ambitious students, learn new languages, discuss software development topics, and work with other students developers.
However, I'm beginning to realize that there may not be any other students who share my software development experience. It's not because of a lack of motivation but a lack of opportunity: I know of only one other programming class ("Programming Languages") and no classes on real-world software development. Everybody else only has experience writing trivial scripts in C and C++.
I've realized that if I want to work with other student software developers, I'm going to have to train them myself. Now, I'm planning to make the club a software development bootcamp, teaching members how to develop software with modern tools and languages. Obviously, starting an unofficial software development course is a monumental task with many possible approaches. My question to you, dear reader, is
What's my plan of attack?
Should I

*

*lecture the club myself, trying to balance club work with homework?

*ask the CS faculty to teach on topics within their expertise which may be less than relevant to members?

*try to find a sympathetic, experienced developer inside or outside the school who can share my workload?

*show video lectures (from MIT OpenCourseWare, Google Tech Talks, etc)?

*hold hands-on programming workshops?

*assign homework?

*do something else?

A: Since everyone in your club is coming voluntarily, you need to make it interesting and motivating. And homework isn't exactly motivating.
Teaching anybody is hard, but why not try teaching in a hands off kind of way with a goal at the end? Essentially at first you get everbody together and come up with a group project and a language. The project needs to be interesting and be able to show visible progress but not too hard. Once you've got the language nailed down, you teach them the basics (syntax, packages/namespaces, classes, static/dynamic typing, etc). You then give them resources (books, online tutorials, online documentation), an easy way to get a hold of you, and a specific part of the project to work on. Each person then works on the project in their spare time, consulting the documentation and you as needed.
What's the advantage of this process?

*

*People don't get bored listening to you or somebody else drone on about something every single meeting

*People learn how to self teach, a very important real world skill

*You aren't overcommitting yourself since you aren't the sole resource of knowledge

*You don't have to know the whole language before you can teach it since you only need to introduce them to the language. And when they need to ask you about something, you can quickly research it. You do however need to be a little ahead of everybody else, since some things require knowing what's 5 steps ahead

*You're creating something, which tends to motivate people

The only way to see if it works is to try it out.

A: Looking at the course flowchart for your major, you really are misunderstanding what to expect in different classes of a Computer Science major.
The classes that you're talking about are introductory classes that introduced students to various basic concepts in coding. It looks like "Programming Concepts"  an intro to the profession with 1-week overviews of all of the basic areas of computer science, with no actual coding. From there, it's NORMAL to have an introductory course in C, and another introductory course in C++ is NORMAL for a Computer Science major. You may be coming into the program with some coding experience, but most people are not. The program has to teach concepts like recursion, and how to write classes, and operator overloading, and templates and all that stuff (not to mention teaching about variables, for-loops, if-statements, etc...), so there are two classes basically designed to teach you how to code in some programming language. And they usually have the kinds of misleading names that your university's classes do. Classes that teach the level of organization you want are usually named "Software Engineering" or "Design Patterns". The former is typically a requirement, and the latter is typically an elective (maybe at the graduate level), but both may be electives.
There's an academic and industry debate about whether the Computer Science curriculum focuses on software organization as much as it should, whether the major should be reorganized, and whether Computer Science and Software Engineering are different majors, but for now, your Computer Science program is NORMAL.
(And hang in there -- in another semester or two, you will get to more challenging classes that teach you things you haven't already taught yourself.)

A: Frankly your whole attitude concerns me. You haven't even gotten the group together and already you assume you will be only one who has any knowledge to impart and the one who should decide what the group will do.
The best bet is to get the intial group together and, as a group, brainstorm what they want to do. What you personally want to do is irrelevant in terms of what the group wants to do. Deciding what to do without the input of the other group members before the first meeting,  you will come across as an arrogant idiot that I wouldn't want to work with voluntarily. Thus you would kill the group before it got started.

A: What about programming competitions?  Even something like Perl Golf (or PHP Golf), where you have people (or teams) work to solve a problem using the least amount of code possible?  Its a great way to learn more about languages and competitions always make things interesting.
Of course you should offer more than just competitions, but they are pretty easy to set up and I've always enjoyed them.

A: You're right that you need some structure; you want to force yourself and the others to learn, and not just sit around gabbing about software/bitching about the lousy course selection.  But I'm not sure treating this as a class with you as its teacher is the way to go; you're not an expert yet, and you're in this to learn something, too.
How about organizing the club around software projects?  Not some toy homework programs, but something you think you might actually find useful.  (Note that "marginally useful" still qualifies as "useful"; you're trying to learn-by-doing, not found a startup.  :-)  )  If the club has enough people for multiple teams, form multiple teams.  The team decides what language it wants to use, what the specs are, how labor is to be divided, etc., etc., and works on it individually in their own time.  Then at your weekly club meeting, you discuss how it's going face to face, where the roadblocks are, neat stuff you've learned, etc.
I also really like the idea of bringing in guest lecturers, be they faculty, professionals, or videos that you or somebody else thinks are worth sharing.  So, you could organize a nightly meeting like this:

*

*Guest lecture on some software topic from somebody who knows it well.

*Q&A/gab session on the lecture (hopefully with the lecturer participating, but just amongst yourselves for videos).

*Divide into project teams, do project stuff.

That'll take up an evening and stuff it full of knowledge-enhancing goodness.  Hopefully.
Regardless, I wish you luck with this project.  When you get it off the ground, I hope you'll come back here and tell us how it's working out.

A: The group project is a great idea. Especially if the project is something that can help out the university, or your fellow classmates.
I joined a group while in college that was working on projects for students.
The most popular project was a 360 degree virtual tour of the campus.
We purchased the equipment needed and started taking photos around campus.  Then we built a website to house the tour, figured out the hosting, and got it featured on the university's web site for prospective students. This project spanned more than just programming tasks, and got non-programmers interested as well.
Try identifying a new website or application that not only you would use, but everyone on campus would like to use.  I think it's easier and more fun to learn if you have a goal in mind.

A: If this is going to be an extra-curricular activity, don't do the homework thing. That's just lame.
You could probably get something cool going by just starting up a github group and postering/emailing in your school (I guess kids these days use Facebook and Twitter too? Might be a good idea to hit those points as well). When you get a group of 5-6 people who are really interested together, decide on a project and just work at it.
If there's no interest, it's pretty ridiculously easy to join an open source project if you're reasonably skilled. Simple as forking something you're interested in at github, and starting to talk to the developers.
The advantage you have that the previous generation didn't is that it's not difficult at all to connect to programmers at your level, and in your language, while being very geographically disparate. And I don't mean just send an email. Skype/iChat/Ventrilo make voice conferences easy, tools like git/mercurial (and the associated project pages online) make it easy to code as a group even if you're on opposite sides of the atlantic. There's really no reason not to code socially these days, if that's what you want to do.
Finally, don't make a habit of judging people by the languages they know/want to know. It's an easy trap to fall into when you're the only Smalltalker in a herd of people who think C++ represents the limit of programming, but it won't get you many friends, and it'll give you a bias against certain tools. I've met hackers who are miles ahead of me in skill and experience, who have used LISP, Perl and C on the same project. The people at the top of the professional developer heap tend to not care much what level their tools are as long as they do the job.

A: This sounds like a networking opportunity, I'm sure there are a number of students interested in programming with a similar level of experience/training... you're just not finding them...
Have you attended one of the Code Camps (free developer related training) in the Tampa Bay area, or joined one of the local programming user groups?
Both of these resources will provide you with networking opportunities. And instead of feeling like you have to train your fellow students, you'll be able to invite your friends along with you and then discuss what was covered.
You'll also gain access to people who are programming as a career and can get an idea of what kinds of situations you're likely to come up with in "the real world".
Once you've explored these local resources you may still find that you opportunities to share your knowledge by doing your own presentations, which is great. Sharing what you've learned with a user group or as a speaker of a code camp presentation is a good way to get feedback on what you've learned and opens you up to learning more as well.
I grew up in the Tampa Bay area and attended a lot of free Microsoft sponsored events, your local user group should have information on how to get involved in those events as well.
Well, this was a long winded reply...
The next Code Camp in Tampa is on Nov. 13th 2010 according to the tampacodecamp website.
Here's a link to your local INETA/programming user group:
http://www.tampadev.org/
(I'm new to this group and was only able to include one link.)

A: How about finding an open-source project (or more than one) that your group is interested in contributing to?
I think the biggest challenge you're likely to face is that while writing code is fun, it's all the surrounding admin etc. that can rapidly turn it into a painful experience. If you can find an existing open-source project you should at least have some of the support framework in place.
Open source will get you into some good habits, and although you'll be a bit wet behind the ears compared to some of the contributors you will have one major advantage over other people- you'll all be in the same location and able to hold conversations with your team members which is normally one of the biggest pains with open source community work...

Making a New Day Box is the best way to show a woman going through something really tough that even though you don't know them, you admire their courage and wish them happiness. Here's how to do it.
Fill your box with skincare, cosmetics and treats.
Your box is done! Drop it off or post it in.
New and unused cosmetics, beauty products, and non-meltable treats like lollies create beautiful gifts. We find it usually costs around $40 to fill a box. Spend what you are comfortable with and we'll supplement boxes with samples and extras where necessary.
Organising a drive for more than 50 boxes?
You can also include a card if you wish. It is optional, but if you choose to this is an opportunity to write directly to the woman receiving the box. We often hear from the recipients the fact that someone cared enough to make their box was even more special that the gift itself!
Let us know when you are planning to drop off your box so we can plan to see you!
Which location would you like to drop off?
Which date would you like to deliver your boxes to New Day Box?
Can I give you money instead and get a tax receipt?
The New Day Box initiative isn't a legal organisation or a registered charity so you can't get a tax deduction from your contribution. We cannot take any money or funds and we cannot handle cash. We're simply a group of friends preparing gifts for other women and creating a giving circle by asking others if they'd also like to give a present to another woman facing a stressful time. If you'd like to make a financial donation to help the amazing work that's being done to support women through challenging times, please go to the donations page on the Safe Steps website.
Can I drop my box off to crisis accommodation directly?
Most crisis accommodations need to keep their location confidential for the safety of the women and children staying there. We are in partnership with the Safe Steps, who will be distributing boxes out to crisis accommodation.


Musician and broadcaster Hans Keller and artist Milein Cosman met in 1947, when they were assigned to cover the first Edinburgh Festival: Keller reviewed the concerts while Cosman drew the performers. It was the start of a lifelong partnership, and the two settled in Hampstead in the 1960s. Philippe Sands will be hosting a chat with Cosman biographer Ines Schlenker and Keller biographer Alison Garnham.


A job is what runs your build process on CircleCI 2.0. Jobs are defined in your CircleCI 2.0 config.yml. A simple config.yml [needs at least one job](https://circleci.com/docs/2.0/jobs-steps/) in order to run a build. Using workflows, you can define multiple jobs that run in a specific sequence, in parallel, and various other nifty configurations.
At the very minimum, your job needs to have an executor defined, and at least one step. Typically your job will first check out your repository using the special checkout step. Then, using run steps, you can execute bash commands to perform your building, testing, and deployments.
There are a whole bunch of special steps you can use to speed up your jobs or add other functionality to your build process. You can try using cached dependencies, saving artifacts you've created in your jobs, or even saving your test reports to see how your tests performed right on the job page UI. While you're waiting for your jobs to complete take a scroll through all of the step options here on the docs page.

Snapchat wants to break the news of who is elected President in 2016
By Oscar Raymundo
Staff Writer, Macworld |
Where will you be when we elect the next President of the United States? Some are hoping the answer could be "on Snapchat."
With a massive built-in mobile audience and quick-fire messaging capabilities, Snapchat has the potential to be a major player in breaking news and getting stories to circle the globe in seconds. The app is starting to expand and lay the groundwork to become a formidable news source by the time the 2016 presidential campaign trail rolls around.
This week, the popular photo-sharing and messaging app introduced a sharing tool, giving users the option to send stories from its Discover page. Users can share stories with their friends and personalize them with comments and emoji. First launched in January, Discover is Snapchat's in-app content platform that hosts exclusive videos, photos, and stories from media partners including National Geographic, Yahoo, People magazine, CNN, Comedy Central and ESPN. With the new sharing feature, Snapchat is hoping for Discover stories to go viral, bring in more and more eyeballs and expand its reach.
Media companies, be they The New York Times or BuzzFeed, place a similar emphasis on getting stories shared on social media and hopefully going viral. So this latest feature is another sign that Snapchat plans to go from a mobile social network to a more traditional news outlet.
A few weeks ago, Politico revealed that Snapchat was launching a news division and had hired one of CNN's most-respected political reporters, Peter Hamby, to lead the effort. Hamby spent the last two presidential elections in 2008 and 2012 as an embedded reporter on the campaign trail, so it wouldn't be a surprise if now Snapchat nabs behind-the-scenes live coverage of the 2016 presidential election.
"[Snapchat's] live stories around big events, around places both here and abroad, the potential to take users to new places—we can see some application of that with news," Hamby told Politico in an interview about his new role.
More recent live video-streaming apps, Meerkat and Periscope, could also play a role in the next presidential election, although no concrete plans by either service have been made public yet.
Why this matters: As the mobile audience continues to grow, it's becoming more likely that major news events—from protests to presidential elections—will not be first published or televised, but rather "Snapped." Snapchat is already prepping to become a power player in breaking news and live video feeds by the time the 2016 election gets underway.

#wearehere
by Alex Garrick-Wright
Alex Garrick-Wright reports on Project Octagon. You can read Alex's personal reflections on the experience in August's Shetland Life, and see more of Calum Toogood's stunning photographs too.
In May 2016, myself and dozens of other men were brought into Project Octagon; a dynamic arts/ theatre project that commemorated the beginning of the Battle of the Somme, designed by conceptual artist Jeremy Deller.
1500 men were involved as soldiers across the UK. Each was assigned a soldier who died on the first day of the Battle of the Somme, and given a replica of his uniform that was as historically accurate as possible (the uniforms were specially made in Poland and are to be kept as a set, and rented out for film use).
The vision was for these men to appear in locations around the UK and simply… be there, in that moment. Not to speak or really interact, only to hand out a card with their soldier's name, details, death and a social media hashtag on it.
Above all was the need for secrecy- the project relied upon people not knowing what was going on, and talking about it on social media using the hashtag #wearehere, which was printed on each of the soldiers' card. By lunchtime, it had reached the top trending on Twitter and been shared over 100,000 times.
The details of the project- who these men were and what was going on- was only revealed at 7pm, in a BBC interview with Jeremy Deller. By that time, millions of people across the UK had heard of, seen, or had a personal experience of these soldiers.
In addition to involving 1500 uniformed men, a whole network of organisers across the UK would need to be involved.
The Scottish side of Project Octagon was being managed by the National Theatre for Scotland- covering Glasgow and Shetland. The Shetland side was managed by Associate Director Chris Grant, who had the unenviable job of not only finding dozens of able-bodied, military age men willing to take part, but also keeping it secret in Shetland.
Preparation for the 1st July took weeks. Workshop Facilitator Chris Wright trained participants in the formations and movements they would be performing. Costume Supervisor Cara McDiarmid measured and organised the uniforms and props. Stage Manager Lisa Ward liaised and organised with Octagon down south.
Research Facilitator Lauren Doughton looked into our soldiers' stories, and researched any WWI family connections we may have. In the course of doing so, she discovered two of the Shetland group- myself included- may be related to two of the assigned soldiers.
In addition to this were a whole cast of Costume Assistants, Stage Managers, caterers PR people, and the staff of the National Theatre of Scotland.
The public only saw the soldiers, and that is how it was intended.

Regarding the "Political strategies" letter (PDN, June, 15-16): To compare American children removed from their convicted parents for a number of reasons (e.g., drugs, violence, DUI, and other arrests) to children removed from their parents seeking asylum at the Mexican border constitutes a false, contentious comparison.
The asylum seekers are attempting to escape persecution and danger; they are not facing punishment for crimes committed in their countries of origin.
The writer's ill-founded comparison helps dim America's fountain of light that the world is questioning.


The Columbia Center on Sustainable Investment, the Danish Institute for Human Rights and the Sciences Po Law School Clinic are pleased to share their new discussion paper, entitled 'A Collaborative Approach to Human Rights Impact Assessments'.
The paper is the result of a 2-year long research project and is based on extensive desktop research; interviews with 49 people with relevant experience including representatives of companies, civil society organizations, communities, and academia; as well as a roundtable bringing together over a dozen stakeholders and HRIA experts to receive feedback on the research findings. Many of you have contributed to this paper directly or through broader research on HRIA, for which we are very thankful.
The paper proposes a new approach to conducting human rights impact assessments (HRIAs) of business operations or projects, which brings together project-affected people, such as communities and workers, the company, and other stakeholders to jointly design and implement an assessment. The aim of this new approach is to address one of the key challenges of current HRIA practices: the limited engagement and participation of relevant stakeholders, which can undermine effectiveness and trust.
With this collaborative approach, we hope to improve communication between relevant stakeholders, increase access to relevant information for rights holders, encourage greater engagement with the findings and recommendations of the assessment, and most importantly, ensure increased prevention or mitigation of negative human rights impacts.
As part of the project we have also interviewed stakeholders working on HRIAs regarding the challenges of current HRIA practices and the potential benefits of such a collaborative approach to HRIAs.


"I honestly didn't know who to vote for," said Ivana Lee, a 32-year-old teacher in Jakarta who didn't cast a ballot. "One candidate is supported by Islamists. The other pushes the poor out. So I stayed home."
Lee has worked for years with Ciliwung Merdeka (Free Ciliwung), a community organisation in the slums along Jakarta's Ciliwung River. The organisation and 440 families were forced to relocate due to a water control project implemented under Governor Basuki Tjahaja Purnama, known as Ahok. This did nothing to improve his standing with the lower classes. "Many of us here are still waiting for the promised relocation housing," Lee said. "So they voted for Ahok's opponent."
That opponent is Anies Baswedan, the country's former education minister. With private polls handing him a resounding victory in the election, he has been declared Jakarta's next governor. Official results are expected in May.
The relocation played a minor role in the campaign, as did Ahok's anticorruption efforts and successes on infrastructure, education and health.
Ahok's religion was a more dominant factor: as a Christian belonging to a Chinese minority, many Islamic organisations viewed him unfit to govern the capital of the largest Muslim country in the world.
"This election is a test of Indonesian pluralism's ability to stand up to the pressure from religious groups and populists," said Wimar Witoelar, a political analyst and campaign advisor to former President Abdurrahman Wahid, ahead of the election. Not only Jakarta, but all of "Indonesia is at a turning point."
The multiethnic state has in some ways been a model of religious tolerance. Yet since the beginning of democratisation in 1998, radical Islamic groups have asserted increasing political influence. Provinces have enacted Sharia, or Islamic law, to the detriment of religious minorities.
The Islamic Defenders Front (FPI), a radical Islamic group, carried out massive demonstrations in 2012 against Ahok for becoming the running mate to Joko Widodo in the Jakarta gubernatorial election. Widodo, known as Jokowi, went on to win. Ahok took over as governor when Jokowi was elected the country's president in 2014.
Ahok is currently on trial for blasphemy. At an event in September, he cautioned voters not to be swayed by claims that the Koran prohibits voting for non-Muslims. The statement was twisted in social media, with FPI taking to the streets of Jakarta claiming Ahok had insulted the Islamic holy book.
Opponents seized on the opportunity to bring down a then-popular governor. Anies Baswedan, a former university rector and moderate intellectual, donned more traditional Muslim clothing and courted FPI's Habib Rizieq, who has been repeatedly cited for incitement and other offences.
Baswedan had supported Jokowi's bid for president and was awarded the education ministry in return. He lost his job in 2016 amid accusations of corruption.
Jakarta's governor's race can be viewed as a bellwether of sorts for the country's next presidential election in 2019. "Baswedan's victory is a risk for the state government," said Tobias Basuki of the Centre for Strategic and International Studies in Jakarta. "He represents Gerindra, the party of Prabowo Subianto, Jokowi's rival, who presumably wants to run in 2019. Controlling Jakarta means the party can block Jokowi every step of the way."

74. Międzynarodowy Festiwal Filmowy w Cannes odbył się w dniach 6-17 lipca 2021 roku. Pierwotnym terminem imprezy był 11-22 maja 2021, ale ze względu na pandemię koronawirusa organizatorzy przenieśli ją z tradycyjnego okresu wiosennego na letni. Festiwal odbył się po dwuletniej przerwie - w 2020 roku impreza się nie odbyła, a organizatorzy podali jedynie tytuły filmów zakwalifikowanych do oficjalnej selekcji.

Imprezę otworzył pokaz francuskiego musicalu Annette w reżyserii Leosa Caraxa. W konkursie głównym zaprezentowane zostały 24 filmy pochodzące z 15 różnych krajów.

Na czele jury konkursu głównego po raz drugi z rzędu stanął amerykański reżyser Spike Lee, którego wizerunek umieszczono na oficjalnym plakacie promocyjnym imprezy. Jury przyznało nagrodę główną festiwalu, Złotą Palmę, francuskiemu filmowi Titane w reżyserii Julii Ducournau. Była to druga w historii imprezy (po Fortepianie Jane Campion) Złota Palma przyznana dla filmu wyreżyserowanego przez kobietę. Drugą nagrodę w konkursie głównym, Grand Prix, przyznano ex aequo irańskiemu filmowi Bohater w reżyserii Asghara Farhadiego oraz fińskiemu obrazowi Przedział nr 6 w reżyserii Juho Kuosmanena.

Galę otwarcia i zamknięcia festiwalu prowadziła francuska aktorka Doria Tillier. Honorową Złotą Palmę za całokształt twórczości otrzymali włoski reżyser Marco Bellocchio i amerykańska aktorka Jodie Foster.

Prince Harry And Meghan Warned Not To Invite Meghan's Half-Sister
February 26, 2018 February 26, 2018 TGorgiev 0 Comments Meghan, Meghan's Half-Sister, Prince Harry
Prince Harry and Meghan have been warned not to let the bride-to-be's 'fame hungry' half-sister anywhere near their wedding.
This is the first time, Scott Rasmussen, Samantha Markle's ex-husband talks about his former wife. He reveals that he wished for divorce only a week after their wedding.
Scott reveals that his 'pushy' ex-wife Samantha Markle was never as close to Meghan as she claims she was.
"Samantha's the pushy one. She made our marriage a living hell," Rasmussen revealed.
"I believe she resented Meghan because she had the life Samantha always wanted and she was jealous.
"Harry and Meghan need to know the truth about her. She's the last person who should be at Windsor Castle."
'We have to let bygones be bygones': Meghan's 'estranged' older half-sister insists there… https://t.co/KCz4mPerUE pic.twitter.com/orgbgy7R3q
— Luong Tan Loc (@Beckham_David01) November 28, 2017
Rumors are spreading that Meghan's half-sister doesn't get an invite she will comment on the wedding for an American TV network.
Scott says: "In my opinion, if she sets foot in the UK they should send her straight to the Tower of London."
Laos, he talked about how sick he I s with all his ex-wife's interviews telling how she helped give Meghan a "magical" and "fun" childhood.
"Samantha making out they were close is bulls***."
Scott and Samantha met in 1997 in New Mexico while both of them were trying to become actors. They got married a year after but split in 2003. The couple has a daughter Noel, who is now 19.
Scott shared: "A week after we married, my best friend invited us for dinner.
"When it was time to go, she was in the bath fully dressed. She had the oddest look, and said, 'Tell them you're sick.
"I want nothing to do with your goddamn friends'. I was blown away. From that day I wanted a divorce. I even saw an attorney."
He also revealed that he didn't divorce her then because she was pregnant with daughter Noel.
Talking about Meghan as a teenager, he said: 'She was all class and so polite, everything Samantha wanted to be."
Meghan's career blossomed. But, Samantha's didn't.
"She only got bit parts. She tried being a model but it didn't work out," said Scott.
"She got bitter."
Apparently, Samantha is now writing a book on Meghan. The working title of the book is The Diary of Princess Pushy's Sister.
"She should act with some dignity, keep her mouth shut, and leave everybody else alone."
Samantha also said: "He wants to take advantage of my sister's high profile.
"When it came out that I am writing a book and that my sister is marrying royalty, he thought, 'A-ha, I'm going to get her.'"

Samantha has also talked about her relationship with her sister. She slammed her r for the £56,000 ($75,000) couture gown she wore for her engagement photos.
'If you can spend $75,000 on a dress, you can spend $75,000 on your dad,' Samantha says.
She also hit back to Harry when he talked about his family as the '"the 'family she never had' when discussing Meghan's first Christmas at Sandringham.
She wrote on Twitter: 'Actually she [Meghan] has a large family who was always there with her and for her.
'Our household was very normal and when dad and Doria divorced, we all made it so it was like she had two houses.
'No one was estranged, she was just too busy. Meg's family (our family) is complete with sister, brother, aunts, uncles, cousins, and the glue of our family, our amazing completely self-sacrificing father.'
However, Meghan's half-sister asked her to 'forgive her' for the negative comments she said in the press.

Unpublished Disposition, 921 F.2d 281 (9th Cir. 1990)
US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit - 921 F.2d 281 (9th Cir. 1990)
UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee,v.Joseph Michael CURTIS, Defendant-Appellant.
No. 90-50150.
United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.
Submitted Dec. 4, 1990* .Decided Dec. 12, 1990.
Before WALLACE, O'SCANNLAIN and RYMER, Circuit Judges.
MEMORANDUM**
We must determine whether the district court erred by prescribing a sentence to run consecutive to, rather than concurrent with, any pre-existing state or federal sentences.
* Curtis contends that the district court abused its discretion in prescribing that his sentence for assaulting a federal officer run consecutive to pre-existing sentences, asserting that the reasons expressed for consecutive sentencing had already been captured in Curtis' Bureau of Prisons' administrative penalties and in the sheer length of the sentence, even without its consecutive character.
We disagree. Although the determination of whether to impose a consecutive or a concurrent sentence is within the discretion of the district court, see United States v. Wills, 881 F.2d 823, 826 (1989), there is a presumption favoring consecutive sentencing. See 18 U.S.C. § 3584(a) ("Multiple terms of imprisonment imposed at different times run consecutively unless the court orders that the terms are to run concurrently."). We are not unaware of the circumstances purportedly mitigating against a harsh sentence in this case. Nonetheless, given the prolonged duration of Curtis' holding Mr. Ramos hostage, the acute need of prison authorities to maintain order within prison walls, and Curtis' demonstrated proclivity towards violence, there can be no doubt that the district court did not abuse its discretion in imposing a consecutive sentence.
Curtis also maintains that the cumulative effect of his state sentence for sexual assault and the consecutive sentence for assaulting a federal officer violates the eighth amendment's prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment.
The eighth amendment "prohibits not only barbaric punishments, but also sentences that are disproportionate to the crime committed." Solem v. Helm, 463 U.S. 277, 284 (1983). Ordinarily, a disproportionality claim requires the weighing of three factors: (1) the gravity of the offense and the harshness of the penalty; (2) the sentences imposed on other criminals in the same jurisdiction; and (3) the sentences imposed for the same crime in other jurisdictions. See United States v. Yarbrough, 852 F.2d 1522, 1546 (9th Cir.), cert. denied, 488 U.S. 866 (1988). However, in appropriate cases, we need not consider more than the first factor. See id. ("Application of the first factor alone in the present case demonstrates the error of the appellants' [disproportionality] claim."). Here, both offenses are marked by excessive and prolonged terror and violence. "There is a difference in kind and not just degree between this kind of crime and the crime of the defendant in Solem." Id. Accordingly, we reject Curtis' eighth amendment claim.
The panel unanimously finds this case suitable for submission on the record and briefs and without oral argument. Fed. R. App. P. 34(a), Ninth Circuit R. 34-4
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and may not be cited to or by the courts of this circuit except as provided by Ninth Circuit R. 36-3

Employ a Best Practice
Beverage deals are commonplace among premier properties in other industries and are an emerging best practice in airports. With over a dozen airports either having a beverage deal or preparing to have one, the time to act is now.

DFW has earned more than $50 million during its 20+ years of beverage deals. Detroit has earned more than $12 million during the past decade. Why aren't you? We can show you how.
Aviation Practice Leader
How do these deals work with our concessionaires?
In every other sector of the economy (higher education, sports & entertainment venues, theme parks, etc.), concessionaires routinely honor their host property's own direct agreement with Coca-Cola or PepsiCo. We aim to work with the airport and its concessions partners to ensure the concessionaires' pricing is protected (or, in some cases, lowered) and their beverage sales increase as a result of the agreement.
Which other airports have a beverage deal?
Nearly 20% of the top 40 busiest airports in North America have pouring rights. For example, DFW has earned more than $50 million during its 20+ years of beverage deals. Detroit has earned more than $12 million during the past decade.
Isn't it wrong to remove choice?
Beverage deals actually expand choice. Both Coke & Pepsi have expansive product portfolios -- including teas, juices, waters, coffees, etc. Partnering with one brand prevents duplicative products from crowding the shelves and creates more space for the new and innovative products your guests and employees want.
How do I obtain a beverage opportunity analysis?
Complete the contact form or schedule an appointment. After providing a few necessary pieces of information, we'll provide you with actionable intelligence you won't be able to obtain from any other source.
Can't I negotiate a beverage deal on my own?
You can, but it's not a good idea. Beverage negotiations are unlike any other negotiation, and the industry is changing more rapidly now than it has in the last 50 years. Shifting consumer tastes, increased product selection and new equipment technology are all critically important factors to consider in your next deal. While your team excels at negotiating deals that are core to your business, you should get expert help when it comes to your beverage deal. If the biggest restaurant chains in the world seek the guidance of consultants, should you be doing it on your own? Don't leave money on the table.
A Seasoned Guide
Martin Strobel, our Aviation Practice Leader, is has over 25 years of experience as an accomplished marketing and strategy consultant to airports, airlines and key aviation contractors. At Enliven, he's led beverage negotiations for airports worldwide - representing over 150 million annual passengers.
