James Bond filmmakers Barbara Broccoli, Michael G. Wilson and Cary Joji Fukunaga talk No Time To Die with Cineworld
Sean Wilson
Posted on Sep 27, 2021 12:20:15 PM
In the 2012 James Bond movie Skyfall, 007 (Daniel Craig) is quizzed by the villain Silva (Javier Bardem) as to his "hobby". Bond's reply is terse and economical: "Resurrection."
It's a mantra for the James Bond franchise as a whole, one that has endured and survived for nearly six decades since its inception with 1962's Dr. No. Sean Connery was the first actor to put his stamp on the character originally created by Ian Fleming, and many would contend that his suave urbanity remains the definitive take. However, one of the key tenets of the Bond franchise has been its adaptability, which is borne out through all the other actors that have played 007.
George Lazenby gave it a single shot with 1969's On Her Majesty's Secret Service, before the lighthearted Roger Moore took over with 1973's Live and Let Die, a position he held until 1985's A View To a Kill. Timothy Dalton, ruthless and single-minded as 007, made just two movies, 1987's The Living Daylights and 1989's Licence to Kill, before Pierce Brosnan, slickly efficient if somewhat lacking in substance, took over with 1995's GoldenEye.
Following the critical (although not commercial) disaster of 2002's Die Another Day, Brosnan's final movie, it was clearly time for a rethink. Bond was then reborn via the power of Daniel Craig's performance in 2006's Casino Royale, an entry that was critically praised for restoring grace notes of empathy and vulnerability to 007. Craig's portrayal is another microcosm of the mutability of the Bond franchise, its ability to respond to current trends and absorb new aesthetics in the process.
The 25th Bond movie, No Time To Die, is set to be Craig's last and has to shoulder the considerable weight of expectation. Both Casino Royale and Skyfall were praised as stylishly resonant and engrossingly human Bond blockbusters, even if the even-numbered movies, Quantum of Solace (2008) and Spectre (2015), fell somewhat short of the mark.
No Time To Die producer Michael G. Wilson has been with the Bond series since the 1970s, becoming prominent for the first time as a screenwriter on 1979's Moonraker. Along with Barbara Broccoli, daughter of the legendary Bond franchise creator Albert R. 'Cubby' Broccoli, Wilson is one of the two main gatekeepers of the series, a pivotal figure in determining the stylistic approach of each given Bond era. Speaking with Cineworld, he says that the mutability of 007 has been key to the character's ongoing relevance.
"He's always been a contemporary character," Wilson explains. "That's one of the elements that has accounted for the longevity. The opportunity to recast has been a boon for both the public and the series because every actor who has come into it has brought something new to the character. It's kept the character fresh. New directors come in and work with the team that we have established. Of course, Ian Fleming wrote a very complex and interesting character, and all of the actors and directors have gone back to the Fleming books whenever they get stuck for an idea. All of those elements."
"The films reflect the times they're in," adds Barbara Broccoli. "They're so interesting. You go back and you look at some of the older films and it gives you a sense of what the culture was like at the time."
"Every Bond actor has brought something new to the character" – Michael G. Wilson
At the outset of No Time To Die, and in the wake of the events of Spectre, Bond has retired from active duty in MI6 and is enjoying a quiet life with Madeleine Swann (Lea Seydoux). However, a deadly secret from her past manifests in the form of the evil Safin (Rami Malek), a maniac possessing all the world-threatening plans we expect from a Bond baddie.
007 must strap on his holster again and engage with this new threat, all the while coming to terms with a world that has changed around him. Upon returning to MI6, he discovers that new '00' agent Nomi (Lashana Lynch) is more than ready to challenge his supremacy while out in the field, operative Paloma (Ana De Armas) continues to even out the score.
Once again, it speaks of a franchise responding to ripples in the water. The presence of Fleabag creator Phoebe Waller-Bridge as co-writer is, perhaps, an indicator of greater agency within the female characters, something the Bond films have historically struggled with. Behind the camera is Cary Joji Fukunaga, a filmmaker who has generated acclaim for sensitive, character-driven dramas such as Jane Eyre (2011) and Beasts of No Nation (2015).
"From early meetings with Daniel, Barbara, Michael and the stunt teams, we were trying to figure out how a sense of character would always be driving the action forward," explains Fukunaga. "From the very first action sequence, it's not just a case of getting from point A to point B to escape the baddies. There are other layers that are playing out at the same time. I think that principle applies to all the action sequences in the film. There are emotional, as well as physical, stakes for the character.
"I don't know necessarily if it's the Bond character that requires such a specific dogma within the action sequences. But it definitely helped to have Daniel portraying Bond because, from his very first outing in Casino Royale, he brought a rawness and vulnerability to the character. That allowed for the emotional layers to be put in."
For all of No Time To Die's innovations, it's duty-bound to honour James Bond conventions. The locations are exotic, the sense of scale is expansive and the action sequences are logistically massive, showcasing all the car chases, gunfights and gadgets that we've come to expect from 50 years of Bond history. The technicians involved include La La Land cinematographer Linus Sandgren, composer Hans Zimmer (The Dark Knight), who collaborates with singer Billie Eilish on the title track, and production designer Mark Tildesley (Phantom Thread).
It's a highly accomplished team, the sort that only a mega-budget Bond movie could command. (Priced between $250 and $300 million, it's one of the most expensive films in the series.) No Time To Die is also the first Bond movie to shoot on film (as opposed to digital) with IMAX 70mm cameras, which promises to lend further expanse and tactile immersion to 007's latest adventure.
"I've always wanted to shoot on IMAX," says Fukunaga. "At first, it started off as a bluff. Linus Sandgren and I really wanted to shoot on film. Skyfall was shot digitally by Roger Deakins. Hoyte van Hoytema shot on film on Spectre. And we wanted to get back to film again on No Time To Die.
"Sometimes, one is like, 'Well, ideally, we'd love to shoot in IMAX, so 35mm sounds like a reasonable ask.' And then they said yes to IMAX. Once we started talking to them, we started getting excited about the potential of shooting on the film cameras, because some IMAX movies are shot digitally. Seeing that 70mm negative, or just the prints, being projected onto a big screen, makes one aware of the difference between a 35mm print and 70mm print. Visually speaking, it was one of those moments where you had to be there at the time.
"In terms of practical application, they're massive cameras. By the end of the shoot, we were hand-holding the cameras and moving them around with these massive mags. It's like any other format: once you start shooting with it, it looks a lot cooler."
After 18 months of pandemic-related woes, there's clearly a pent-up desire to celebrate this enduring British institution. It's sobering to think that the Bond franchise is the last bastion of UK film franchises (one might be able to argue the case for the Harry Potter spin-off series Fantastic Beasts). For that reason, the series is freighted with all manner of nostalgic memories and cultural significance, something that becomes poignant when one considers that this is Craig's last shot at the character.
A controversial choice when appointed to the role in 2005, Craig had to weather an onslaught of press attention. The focus on his blonde hair was a nitpick elevated to a national grievance (Bond is traditionally saturnine and dark, as per Fleming's description) while disgruntled fans hosted their ire on the website danielcraigisnotbond.com (which, amazingly, is still running). However, Craig survived the storm to fashion a bold new iteration of 007, and Barbara Broccoli says this has endured for a very simple reason.
"When we went to cast him, we were looking for a 21st-century Bond," says Barbara Broccoli. "He's more than delivered on that basis. He's brought a lot of humanity to the role. He's allowed the character to bleed and allowed us to see the emotional pain he's in, to explore the conflicts and complexities. He's been an incredible Bond for our time."
Broccoli says there was moving poetry to Craig's final day on the set, and, by extension, to his final day as James Bond. She describes the moment as "truly devastating", adding: "It turned out, although not by design, that the final scene he shot was Bond running away into the darkness. It just seemed so appropriate, and eerie, actually."
"Daniel Craig has allowed James Bond to bleed" – Barbara Broccoli
"It was very difficult and very sad because he's been such a tremendous Bond," Broccoli continues. "He's given it his all. We were night-shooting on the backlot at Pinewood, so we had our crew, but also a lot of the people who would ordinarily be working the daytime shifts stayed around. We wrapped around one or two in the morning and lots of people stayed around to acknowledge and celebrate Daniel. He's been a fantastic team member but also the leader of the company. People really wanted to show their appreciation for him, not just as an actor but as a crewmember, as someone they've been standing alongside for 15 years."
Whatever one's thoughts are in relation to Daniel Craig's portrayal of 007, there's no denying he triumphed in the manner of his predecessors. He took an archetypal character and re-authored it, largely stripping 007 of his more troubling qualities and substituting them with profound, relatable nuances of human weakness. His Bond is a killer and a professional, and perhaps more in line with Fleming's original creation.
"I've always wanted to shoot in IMAX" – Cary Fukunaga
Like Timothy Dalton before him, Craig's Bond bears the scars of his various conflicts, both inside and outside, but the performance remains knowingly self-aware. Craig is acutely conscious that he operates within an outsized franchise where no suit is too stylish, no martini too dry. His Bond is tough yet likeable, driven yet dryly humorous, by turns dapper and down and dirty, vulnerable and invulnerable. Craig invests us in a fantasy that has been running for nearly six decades, and he throws down the gauntlet to the next incumbent of James Bond's tux.
"Bond is one of the most enduring cinematic figures," Fukunaga muses. "Doctor No came out almost exactly 60 years ago. There's a tradition of Bond being a cinema experience, whether it's fathers and sons, entire families going out together and so forth. That tradition continues to this day. The marquee moments, the suaveness, where Bond will, for instance, walk away from a fight or an explosion while fixing his cuffs, are so recognisable to an audience. It's always fun to see on that big screen. Anything can be watched on your iPhone these days but it's the magic of going to the movie theatre and seeing that larger-than-life character, which results in a larger-than-life experience."

Covid-19: Telling The Truth Saves Lives

"One thing I promise you about my leadership during this crisis: I'm going to tell it to you straight. I'm going to tell you the truth. And here's the simple truth: Our darkest days in the battle against Covid are ahead of us, not behind us."
So said President-elect Joe Biden recently. As foreboding as these words are, they come as a breath of fresh air. We have a leader who respects our native intelligence and ability to deal with uncompromising news.
And Biden is wise to play it straight. Todd Purdum, the veteran journalist, and author penned a piece for STAT quoting a healthcare provider warning us to avoid "vaccine euphoria."
Peter Sands, executive director of a global fund to fight infectious diseases, tells Purdum, "We get so kind of blinded by vaccine euphoria — the light at the end of the tunnel — that we underestimate how long that tunnel is, and how dangerous that tunnel is."
It's not "what you think the risk is," says William Hallman, a psychologist at Rutgers University. "From a risk perception standpoint, there is a potential danger that people will now get vaccinated and think they are super-human and nothing can touch them, which is certainly not true."

Samantha Penta, an assistant professor of emergency preparedness at SUNY Albany, told Purdum, "it's really important for people to keep in mind that while the vaccine is a great step and great progress toward a future in which we don't have to worry about Covid-19, it's really hundreds or thousands of little steps that are going to take a long time. Much of the next few months, for a lot of people, are going to look and feel very similar to the last few months."
No matter how upbeat we want to feel, we must not drop the vigilance we have developed over the past year. Covid-19 is virulent, and it can be lethal. The challenge for leaders is to remind us of our vulnerability and keep us focused on the proverbial light at the end of the tunnel.
Biden noted the sense of loss, so many Americans feel. "Our hearts go out to all of you who have fallen on hard times — through no fault of your own, I might add — unable to sleep at night, way down with the worry of what tomorrow will bring to you and for your family."
Be straight
That predicate reminds us of the stakes we are facing. And while few leaders want to speak negatively, it falls to those in charge to level with people. Sheltering people from the truth can have negative consequences, especially with a contagion such as Covid-19. Furthermore, when an executive avoids honesty, he shows a lack of respect, even contempt, for those he is to lead.
Leaders, therefore, need to do the following.
State the truth. Be square with people let them know the consequences of failing to take precautions.
Address the consequences. If we ignore the problem, it will worsen. If we address it and act responsibly, we can have a voice in our destiny.
Express hope. Mourn for what we have lost but point us in the direction toward a better tomorrow. In other words, lament the loss and plan for the future.
Finally, it is essential to create a sense of shared experience. Some of us are suffering from the loss of employment or loss of a loved one. All of us are suffering from the loss of our previous lives. While the world as we knew it will not return, the "new normal" will be forged with the resilience we have developed and the courage we have exerted to move forward.

Sam Mauger, U3A CEO writes letter to the national newspapers.
Following the government announcement today that GPs in England are being given permission to prescribe patients "social" activities, such as dance classes, to tackle loneliness, our CEO Sam Mauger has written a letter to all the national media:
The national charity, U3A (University of the Third Age) welcomes the government announcement of a strategy to help in alleviating loneliness in older people. However the strategy does not acknowledge that U3A, since the early 1980s, has played a key role in doing just that.
U3A brings together retired (third age) people to pursue educational, social and creative interests on a self-help basis. The U3A model is low-cost, defined by participants, and learner-led. It is not dependent on state funding; it has a life and existence of its own. The emphasis is on inclusion, enjoyment and the stimulation of pursuing interests together.
In the UK there are now over 424,000 U3A members, taking part in around 10,000 different interest groups every week.
We have examples of U3As across the UK who are already working with their doctor surgeries where the GPs will be "socially prescribing" U3A to encourage their patients to re-engage with the community. No one with a local U3A needs to be lonely.
There are real dangers of loneliness and isolation in this age-group, particularly after bereavement. Research showed U3A members reported major benefits to being part of our learning model in terms of confidence, feeling supported in new communities, learning new skills, combatting loneliness and most of all, of feeling valued and enjoying life.
The U3A movement shows the value of communities of interest which are not defined by age, or by past experience, but by the experiences still to be explored.
Visiting www.u3a.org.uk will give an idea of the range of member-led activities that U3As around the country pursue and the enjoyment their members derive from them.

For many and various reasons, it's getting very hard to make these posts.
How can I write "today was a good day", when only a few kilometers away 10 children drowned?
I think I should go back to stick to facts.
Today I spent the day sorting out different things: I went to distribute some bread to the people waiting at the queue for registration. While there I realised that 99% of the people didn't know how the new system works.
There's tickets issued with numbers and you need to wait until your number shows up on the white board before you can join the queue. For example, if the board says "numbers 1 to 1000" and you have number 300: you can join the queue.
If you have number 1200, you can't.
It's a hard system to understand if you have no sign explaining it and the police only speaks Greek and a bit of English.
I made a sign in English, got someone to translate it to Farsi and the police photocopied them a few times. I went around showing them to people and a few refugees helped me stick them around the camp so others could read and understand. It was such a simple but glorious moment. It was so funny to see people reading the sign and laughing out laud. I guess because after hours or days of not understanding, it took a simple A4 paper and a few seconds to get it.
My mind is a mess. We have only 6 days left here. What will happen afterwards? We don't know. How do you simply leave this place? But how can you stay?
There's so much more to say. But it's too painful to talk about the bad stuff. Not again. It makes me sick to my stomach to repeat the horrible things that have been happening here.

Q: Regular Expression for getting everything after last slash I was browsing stackoverflow and have noticed a regular expression for matching everything after last slash is
([^/]+$)

So for example if you have http://www.blah.com/blah/test
The reg expression will extract 'test' without single quotes.
My question is why does it do it? Doesn't ^/ mean beginning of a slash?
EDIT:
I guess I do not understand how +$ grabs "test". + repeats the previous item once or more so it ignores all data between all the / slashes. how does then $ extract the test

A: Just fyi, for a non-regex version of this, depending on the language you're in, you could use a combination of the substring and lastIndexOf methods. Just find the last index of the "/" character, and get the substring just after it.
i.e., in Java
String targetString = "a/string/with/slashes/in/it";
int lastSlashIndex = targetString.lastIndexOf('/');
String everythingAfterTheFinalSlash = targetString.substring(lastSlashIndex + 1);

A: In original question, just a backslash is needed before slash, in this case regex will get everything after last slash in the string
([^\/]+$)

A: No, an ^ inside [] means negation.
[/] stands for 'any character in set [/]'.
[^/] stands for 'any character not in set [/]'.

A: Within brackets, ^/ means NOT A /.  So this is matching a sequence of non-/'s up to the end of the line.

A: ^ at the start of [] is character class negation. [...] specifies a set of characters to match. [^...] means match every character except that set of characters.
So [^/] means match every possible character except /.

A: if you put the ^ in a group it says all charters not in this group.  So match all charter that are not slashes until the end of line $ anchor.

A: No, the ^ means different things depending on context. When inside a character class (the [] ), the ^ negates the expression, meaning "match anything except /.
Outside of [], the ^ means what you just said.

A Vault Full of Gold: Bernard Baruch and FDR's Gold Confiscation
By Carl Watner (July-August 2020)
I have had a long-standing interest in the national bank holiday of 1933, and the Presidential Executive Orders and Proclamations which mandated the surrender of gold and gold coinage held by American citizens. Over the years I have read of numerous court cases challenging the Treasury's abrogations of the government's contractual promise to pay ounce for ounce in the event of a government devaluation of its currency. But never before do I recall reading about Bernard Baruch's speculative effort to profit from these government antics.
Bernard Baruch (1870-1965) was a highly successful American businessman, financier, stock investor, statesman, philanthropist, and political adviser to Presidents Woodrow Wilson, and Franklin D. Roosevelt. He lived at least partly during an era that had no federal income tax or capital gains tax, in which travel to foreign countries required no American passport, in which people regularly used gold coinage, and during which large commercial transactions were measured by an unchanging gold standard. What we refer to as "the gold standard" was actually a provision in government legislation that limited the issuance of government paper money. For every $ 20 ($20.67 to be exact) of paper money the US Federal Treasury issued it would have to warehouse (subject to fractional reserve provisions) one ounce of gold. Its importance was that it placed a real, actual limit to the issuance of paper money by the government. It insured that the paper money of the United States would never again be decried as "not worth a continental."
In BERNARD BARUCH, THE ADVENTURES OF A WALL STREET LEGEND (1983), a biography written by James Grant, there are several examples of Baruch's fascination with gold. Grant refers to him as "a lifelong gold partisan." (57) By the time he turned twenty-seven, Baruch had parlayed a $300 cash investment in the American Sugar Refining trust into nearly $60,000. During the fall of 1897, Baruch married his wife, Annie (October 20), and shortly thereafter bought his brother, Harty, a seat on the New York stock exchange for $20,000. He also wanted to celebrate his parents' thirtieth wedding anniversary by giving them $30,000, "one thousand gold dollars for each of his father's married years, … ." (44) "Thus in the course of a few months, Baruch had earned $60,000, distributed two thirds to the men he idolized and married the woman he loved." (44) Still attracted to gold, three years later, Baruch presented his father "with a $75,000 retirement trust fund and thereby [hoped to] ease his financial worries." (72)
Baruch also took an interest in mining concerns, such as the Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Company. Grant describes this as "perhaps the longest-running disappointment of Baruch's venture-capital experience." (100) The company was founded during the late 1890s, and was based on a claim outside the city limits of Juneau. Baruch agreed to underwrite the company's attempt to expand in 1915, but his efforts were futile. The stock price slid from an opening of $ 15 a share to $ 2 in 1917. "Not until 1931 did the mine yield its first dividend. In 1934, when the dollar was devalued against gold, the mine and its shareholders enjoyed a windfall. Baruch reaped an especially large profit, for he had been buying stock and gold bullion in expectation of some such fiddling with the currency." (102)
By late 1931, Baruch had already "decided that a man might prudently lay in some gold for himself." (250) In early April 1932, Baruch's vault in New York began receiving large shipments of gold bullion. Frances Perkins, Roosevelt's Secretary of Labor, related a Cabinet meeting in which someone accused Baruch of having "a whole vault full of gold bricks." (260) "By February 1933, the Alaska Juneau Company had sent sixty-six gold bricks (of which Baruch had three melted down to test the company's assay) while an unknown quantity was received from London." (252) Although the exact dollar amount of gold purchased from Alaska Juneau is unknown, it is estimated that Baruch purchased close to $1,500,000, or 72,000 ounces of gold. When the president of Alaska Juneau was asked why Baruch had bought, "he replied simply, 'In anticipation of a higher price for gold'." (252) The April 1933 Treasury order requiring surrender of gold owned by US citizens applied to Baruch, so he missed out bagging over $1,000,000 in profit.
Other citizens with claims to gold were also thwarted by the government. Many contracts, including long-term bonds, were written with gold clauses requiring payment in gold coin or its equivalent in dollars. Thus a $1000 fifty year bond written in 1883 would call for payment of $1000 in gold coin (the equivalent of 50 ounces of gold at $ 20 per ounce) or its equivalent in paper money. The problem was that after the Presidential Executive Order was issued it would have taken $1750 to buy 50 ounces of gold (50 ounces at the newly declared priced of $ 35 per ounce). Who was to profit by the government's devaluation – the bondholder or the government? Finally in 1935,a majority of the justices on the Supreme Court decided that since US citizens could not "legally" own gold, they could not claim reimbursement in gold coin or its new value in paper money.
In an article Baruch wrote for FORTUNE in 1933, " he bemoaned the injustice of going off gold. By going off the gold standard we have become a nation of dishonest people in our relations with the bondholders, … ." (268) He would have agreed with dissenting Chief Justice McReynolds that the Constitution was gone. "The guarantees heretofore supposed to protect against arbitrary action have been swept away." Nevertheless, he saw a way out for the government to save face. "Baruch suggested that the Treasury should levy a tax on the devaluation premium. For a rate of tax he proposed 100 percent, …" (270) What a cruel kind of tax law: what the government giveth, it soon taketh away. Even Baruch's "bankful of gold bricks" could not protect him against such a strange kind of justice.

You know, a narrator - whether of history or fiction - needs a reason to tell his story. So if the gospel authors do not intend history, but rather are fabricating either to entertain or to deceive, the skeptics need to answer the same question twice: 1. If "Matthew and Mark portray a despairing Jesus and a prima facie meaningless crucifixion," what is their motive for doing so? To make sure we all understand that Jesus' life had no meaning? 2. If John and Luke are trying to develop Jesus' character, to transform his meaningless life and death into the foundation of a new religion, what is their motive? Lying is fun? Or maybe they really believed that Jesus was their redeemer, and wanted everyone else to believe it too, but were kind of bummed by the way things played out. So they made up the Resurrection, which was easy to do with the body missing. Then they made up some stories about seeing him and having physical contact with him post-crucifixion because they knew (all the apostles were in on it, and a number of disciples) that if they just lied hard and long enough they could make meaningful this meaningless event and spread it throughout the world to make Jesus the most famous man in history and the religion based on his name the most widely embraced ever and, gosh, what a neat trick to have pulled on the whole world for generation after generation, even though it's all based on a lie, BUT it's a good lie in a good cause cuz it'll make people behave better and feel better about themselves. If only they could have lived long enough to see it play out.
Why can't the skeptics just say, "I don't believe a word of it"? It would save them a lot of time and mental energy wasted on concocting theories when they could be solving real problems, like finding a way to falsify Christ's claim that the poor we will have always with us.
Bill, I've often wondered something like that. If Jesus just died and that was it, is it plausible that people would write all these semi-fictional books trying to "ennoble" him?
I think the skeptics who think that way are portraying Jesus in their own minds as a sort of modern, California-style guru about whom his followers write implausible hagiographies.
One immediate problem with that is that 1st and 2nd century Palestine wasn't California. Nobody wrote noble-sounding books (even getting gradually more so) about Simon bar Kochba, who really was just a failed Messiah who died.
Just really good material here! Excellent work, thanks for sharing it!
Really really helpful. I'm a high school student currently studying these issues, and I found this uber insightful. Thanks!
Thanks Lydia, I will distribute this very timely affirmation of the reliability of the gospel record.
Don Brooks, good to hear from you!
Readers of this post who enjoyed it might want to browse older articles under the "evidentialism" tag on this blog. It has more posts than the "apologetics" tag for some reason. Also, here is the "evidentialism" tag at What's Wrong With the World.
Btw, your point 8, that Jesus' words "should by no means be taken to be simply an expression of despair on Jesus' part"...Our priest last Sunday said that they were words of triumph and praise, though, alas, I forget what his reasons were.
That sounds a bit like a deliberate exaggeration in the other direction. It's mostly a pretty grim Psalm, however one looks at it. But presumably what he was getting at was that the Psalm ends with the speaker praising God for his deliverance.
Thank you Lydia for this amazing post. It sure put to rest the "development" theory for the death of Christ used by Muslim and atheist apologists. Did you write something similar about the resurrection accounts in the 4 Gospels. This is also a common argument by the same apologists especially Shabir Ali and Richard Carrier. If not, I would love to see you use your skills ad expertise in comparing the 4 Gospels to write something about that. I am also looking forward to read your book about the Gospels, "In plain Sight". When is that expected to be released?
Thank you! I haven't done a similar post on claims of "development" in the resurrection narratives partly because those tend to vary. One has to decide which development claim to answer. But once one realizes just how flimsy and cherry-picked such "arguments" are, it becomes pretty easy to debunk them oneself. Here are a couple of examples.
Suppose that the claim is that the resurrection stories become "more miraculous" and "more dramatic." This might be "supported" by pointing out that Matthew has the angel with the countenance like lightning, not found in Mark, and that there are two angels in later gospels and only one in Mark.
But this is also easily debunked. Notice that Luke and John do _not_ have the angel with the countenance like lightning who comes down and moves the stone, striking the guards into a dead faint at the sight of him. If this is supposed to support a claim of "development" because it isn't in Mark, why doesn't it support a claim of "becoming less dramatic" when it isn't in Luke and John, which are later than Matthew (John unquestionably so)?
Or consider the fact that Luke narrates (though briefly) the ascension, not found in John. Doesn't this mean that Luke has a miracle (the ascension) that isn't in a later gospel?
Suppose that the claim is that the later gospels add "more appearance stories." Again, look at Luke and John. Luke has the appearance on the road to Emmaus, not found in John.
Suppose that the claim is that the stories become "more physical" as they go on. Luke has Jesus' *explicit* insistence that he isn't a ghost because ghosts do not have flesh and bones as he does, but these words of Jesus are not found in John, which is later. To be sure, there is plenty of physical stuff in John, but the point is that there is not some *general* development going on from earlier to later gospels with regard to the physicality of Jesus.
So what one generally has to do is to isolate a specific "development" claim and then go and show that one could cherry-pick in the *opposite* direction if one wanted to. This illustrates the fact that the original argument itself was cherry-picked and hence unconvincing. This is usually extremely easy to do just by opening one's Bible.
Thank you Lydia. That is very helpful. God bless you.

The company Worldwide Asset eXchange (WAX) is an organization that protects virtual gamers when they trade gear online.

They can now produce in total 45,000 tons of pork, beef, and chicken products with over half of that being chicken.
OSI Food Solutions has been expanding through acquisitions as well in recent years. In August 2016 their President and Chief Operating Officer David McDonald announced that his company had acquired a Dutch food manufacturer, Baho Foods. He said this acquisition gives his company a broader European presence and added more to what they can offer their customers. Baho Food has five subsidiaries which include Q Smart Life, Gelderland Frischwaren, Henri van de Bilt, Vital Convenience, and Bakx Foods.
Later that year, in December, OSI Food Solutions made another acquisition. This was Flagship Europe based in the United Kingdom. They acquired this company from Denver, Colorado-based Flagship Europe Group. The chief executive of Flagship Europe, Russell Maddock, said that being purchased by OSI Food Solutions was an exciting development in his company and he looked forward to working with them. He said that by being acquired his company could serve customers better, gain access to a bigger market, and open up new opportunities.

How Does Twitter Go About Deciding What's Trending?
Dec, 22, 2018
A Twitter trending hashtag. Whether it's an earthquake in South America, the death of a rock star, or a model wearing a particularly revealing swimsuit, this little Twitter function tells you in an instant what's got the world talking.
But how does Twitter decide what's trend-worthy? What social media magic do they inject to ensure that the most interesting and relevant pieces of info get to see the light of day?
Let's have a look at what makes a topic trend on Twitter.
As with almost every aspect of social media functionality, Twitter relies on an algorithm to shape its trending topics. In its simplest form, this algorithm identifies spikes in the popularity of a certain topic, relative to its normal level. This takes in factors of both volume (the amount of tweets on the topic) and time (the amount of time it takes to generate that volume of tweets).
Time is a very important factor, because a topic that slowly builds over the course of a month may be getting an astounding amount of tweets after 30 days, but because of the slow growth, no spike ever existed to get it trending. This explains why such movements as #OccupyWallStreet had such trouble trending – their growth was (relatively) slow and steady, and despite the sheer amount of tweets on the issue, the fact that there was never a spike meant that it never appeared on Twitter's trending board.
Factoring in time means that Twitter's trending topics are constantly being updated. A spike can only ever last for so long, so the board is kept fresh and interesting.
The Complexities
As with anything in tech, the algorithm isn't as simple as it might seem on the packet. Twitter's trending topics are also tailored to the specific user, factoring in things like location and accounts followed. This makes sense, because while the bulk of Twitter users reside in the US, users in Mauritius or Bangladesh may not be so passionate about what Kim Kardashian did or didn't wear. This setting can be changed, however, by accessing your trending section settings and choosing a different city, or an entire country.
The issue of trending topics can be further confused by user error. In the wake of the San Bernardino shootings in the US, the topic failed to trend in many locations because the volume was split between the correct spelling – #SanBernardino – and the incorrect spelling – #SanBernadino.
So How Do I Get a Topic to Trend?
Being a trending topic can be a boon for anyone who holds a stake in said topic. Whether it be a consumer product (#iPhone7), a creative piece (#TheAvengers) or just shameless self-promotion (#Kardashian), finding your way onto the trending board is the sort of free publicity that dreams are made of.
In order to get your topic trending, try the following tips:
Use an entirely unique hashtag. New hashtags are quicker to trend than old ones, as there's no built up history that will make it harder to achieve a relative spike.
Be strategic about when you try to trend. Check that there are no major landmark occasions happening (e.g. an election or a big television event) before you attempt to trend.
Try to utilise a captive audience. Conduct a conference, webinar or some other gathering, and then provide a clear and concise call to action to get the group tweeting.
It must be said that while trending topics are currently able to be manufactured, Twitter is well aware of this practice, and is looking at measures to counteract the artificial Twitterstorms.
So that's it. By looking at spikes, and analysing the relative popularity of a subject at any moment in time, Twitter offers up its users a hashtag-heavy, 140 character slice of the world.

Roxe Chain Foundation Announces DO, First Algorithmic Central Bank Stablecoin Native to a Decentralized Economy
October 9, 2020 [email protected]_84 central business
SINGAPORE–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Roxe Chain Foundation Limited ("RCF"), a Singapore non-profit that owns and operates the Roxe Chain blockchain, today announced its plans to debut DO (pronounced "dough"), the world's first algorithmic central bank stablecoin native to a fully decentralized economy, and the Roxe Payments Protocol. DO is an algo stablecoin with no fiat attribute that is designed to solve the intermediate currency problem in cross-border payments and operates on the new Roxe Payments Protocol ("RPP"). Enabled by the Daollar protocol, the DO family of stablecoins is designed to provide better price stability than existing fiat and digital asset-backed stablecoins.
While many fiat and digital asset-backed stablecoins on the market today use blockchain technology, none are a completely decentralized, algorithmic stablecoin based on a central bank model. For example, USDC is a stablecoin backed by the U.S. dollar, a centralized asset, and DAI is a stablecoin collateralized by assets from

"Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change"." ~STEPHEN HAWKING
Darwin's theory of evolution implies that a new change arises by evolution in the existing species over a period. This used to be associated with biological species, however the same can be linked to the changes the Retail sector is experiencing post the pandemic.
A viral infection that started spreading in late 2019 went across the globe and this generation experienced its first-ever Global pandemic post Spanish flu outbreak in 1918. Countries shutting off their borders, large scale curfews, global markets getting closed, businesses shutting down and people being confined to their homes to prevent the spread of SARS-CoV-2 more commonly known as COVID-19. The human population is now trying to live with this pandemic and many businesses have started operating though at less workforce than pre-COVID times.

Missouri Cannabis Supply Chain Ready For Business
October 1, 2020 [email protected]_84 business weekly
With the green light given for a cannabis testing laboratory to begin operations, Missouri's medical marijuana program supply chain is now complete and will soon be serving patients. Last week's approval of EKG Labs in St. Louis comes nearly two years after voters legalized the medicinal use of cannabis with the passage of a constitutional amendment in November 2018.
On Saturday, officials with the Section for Medical Marijuana Regulation at the Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS) announced that a testing laboratory had passed its commencement inspection, later clarifying in a tweet that the business was EKG Labs. With medical marijuana cultivators and dispensaries already licensed to operate, the approval of the analytic laboratory marks the final link in the creation of Missouri's nascent cannabis industry.
"We appreciate how hard these businesses have worked to become operational," said Lyndall Fraker, director of the Section for Medical Marijuana Regulation. "These

The agreement created one of the supply chain management department's most compelling industry client projects. "I think it's great for the students," Davis said. "It's real life. It's taking their theoretical education and bringing it to life."
Professor Joseph Agresta, who works with companies to generate suitable ideas for the three-credit industry client project class, said he knew the project with the state would require more senior-level students.
To recruit them, he targeted students in the Master of Science in Healthcare Analytics and Intelligence Program and the Master of Science in Supply Chain Analytics Program. There was a catch: The work would begin Aug. 1, more than a month before regular classes resumed for the fall. Still, Agresta said the response from students was "overwhelming."
Cheryll Jarvis, a nurse in the Master of Healthcare Analytics and Intelligence Program, was among the students who jumped at the chance to work on
A national movie theater chain is rolling out a wild plan to let you rent your own private cinema, starting at $300 plus the cost of tickets

Alamo Drafthouse theaters, a national movie chain based in Texas, now offers customers the opportunity to rent out an entire theater.
Having an auditorium to yourself costs $150, plus a ticket for each guest and at least $150 in concessions.
The COVID-19 pandemic has roiled the movie theater industry, with a recent poll showing that only 22% of US adults feel comfortable going to a theater.
In a bid to bring viewers back to cinemas, a chain of US movie theaters is now allowing customers to rent out entire theaters starting at $150. Family members and podmates can view releases like Christopher Nolan's "Tenet" and classics like "Jaws" at Alamo Drafthouse theaters, without worrying about contracting COVID-19 from a stranger two seats over.
The private theater program has shown early promise. After being piloted in Texas, the company


Rules of Engagement: Amateur uses pro's long game and scores in for pro inside of 50 yards. Amateur using pro's short game and Pro scores in for amateur inside 50 yards.
Of 83 strokes w/ pro finishing amateur ball 48 were amateur strokes outside of 50 yards and 35 were pro strokes inside of 50 yards.
Of 58 strokes w/ am finishing pro ball 24 were pro strokes outside of 50 yards and 34 were am strokes inside of 50 yards.
Conclusion: Amateur benefits significantly more using pro's long game than using pro's short game in this initial case study.
Variables: This conclusion would certainly vary depending on the handicap of the amateur, the am's strengths and weaknesses, difficulty of the course, familiarity of the course and many other factors.
Pro Comments- In this case study the golf course was difficult (142 slope rating) and had multiple water hazards which the amateur donated a half dozen golf balls. Throw out the three water holes and the score would have been 53 to 45, still in favor of using the pro's long game but much closer. I personally felt my short game could have been sharper and that would have reduced the score from 83 down to 80 or 79 but it is also of interest how the amateur missed in many locations where I had to hit lob shots out of poor sidehill lies. It is significantly easier to chip and pitch off the long game miss of the pro player vs. chipping and pitching off the long game miss of the amateur player.
Of 95 strokes w/ pro finishing amateur ball, 49 were amateur strokes outside of 50 yards and 46 were pro strokes inside of 50 yards. Pro was 37.5% on up and down conversions inside of 50 yards playing off of Amateur's ball.
Of 80 strokes w/ am finishing pro ball 35 were pro strokes outside of 50 yards and 45 were am strokes inside of 50 yards. Am was 33% on up and down conversions inside of 50 yards playing off of Pro's ball.
Conclusion: Amateur benefits significantly more using pro's long game than using pro's short game in this case study.
Pro Comments- In this case study the golf course was of average difficulty with much out of bounds left. The Amateur self admitted his tee shot game was below average and suffering more left hooks than usual. This resulted in 5 stroke and distance penalties for lost balls and out of bounds, two lateral hazard penalties and 2 punch out sideways penalties. That is 14 penalty strokes. The pro also had a case of the duck hooks but medicated more properly and only suffered 2 stroke and distance penalties, 1 water ball and 1 punch out. However, even throwing out all penalty shots and punch outs for both the amateur and pro, the score would still have been in favor of using the pro's the long game 74 to 81. I personally felt my short game could have been sharper and that would have reduced the score from 95 down to 92 or 91 but it is also of interest how the amateur missed in many locations where I had to hit difficult pitches and lob shots to short side hole locations. It is significantly easier to chip and pitch off the long game miss of the pro player vs. chipping and pitching off the long game miss of the amateur player.
You are a long time golfer, looking forward to another year of hopes and dreams but you are frustrated with your high scores. You are told the definition of insanity is making the same swing over and over again and expecting different results. But you don't know what can be done.
The advice from your buddies doesn't work. The magazines and YouTube videos make no sense and the $59.95 swing trainer you bought collects dust in the basement.
Look, it's not your fault. Those results are in the past. It is time to move on and remain positive and focused.
Take Big Joe for example. Joe is not really a big guy, but the members of his foursome gave him that name because of his big drives. You see, it wasn't all that long ago that Big Joe was also a 20 handicap. He had been reading all the magazines and getting advice from his buddies.
Finally he decide d to meet with PGA Golf Guru Scott Seifferlein. It was his one last attempt at sanity on the golf course. He vowed to quit the game forever if he could not find the answer from Scott.
He was asking, how do I hit the ball farther?
How do I hit more fairways? Scott took one look and immediately discovered Joe had been following the lousy advice from the magazines and from his friends.
Scott explained to Joe that "It doesn't have to be this way".
Within a few swings the results immediately changed. And they changed dramatically.
Joe stopped seeing his ball slice weakly off to the right and he began to see drives that are more powerful down the middle.
Joe feels much better about himself.
You want these same results.

Q: Don't want netbeans debugger to go to disassembly window I am using NetBeans IDE 7.4 (Build 201310111528) for C programming. Everytime I debug the program, for every printf and scanf (or probably every system calls) it opens up the disassembly window and goes through every assembly code. I simply want to watch variables and have nothing to do with the assembly code of such functions.
I think before netbeans 6.9 or so, it never happened and the debugging was smooth so as to simply print or scan on the standard input or output without going into the annoying assembly code.
How do I simply disable it from going to the assembly code and debug as per lines of source code?


Saturday - July 29th. I have finished Mrs. Alexander's book. I think that it would be just, yes, perfectly just to say that it is a useless book, with a little sprinkling of French & a great deal of nonsense, that it will never do you any good & (if you are like me) you will finish it with a sort of hateful, disgusted feeling towards everybody & everything. When I was reading it if asked the name of my book I would get 3 or 4 shades beyond my natural beet color & act as if I was guilty of something dreadful. I don't mean to tell you that is was not interesting for it was. Do you like to read a story when you are ashamed of being fascinated with it? I don't & so I dont intend to read another of hers ever.

You may have heard a lot of things about teen birth among Latina teens in Georgia. For example, that Latinas have the highest teen birth rate of all racial or ethnic groups in the state. But these facts are only a small part of a much bigger story.
In 1995, when GCAPP was founded, the birth rate among Latina teens was 99.6. That means that for every 1,000 Latina girls age 15-19 in our state, 99 of them gave birth. Between 1995 and 2002, the birth rate continued to increase, finally reaching its peak of 138 per 1,000. But since then, the birth rate among Latinas has steadily declined, to reach its lowest point in Georgia's recent history at 42.4 in 2014, which is the most recent data we can get. This is a 70% decrease overall and something to be celebrated! Although the Latina birth rate is at an all-time low, it's still 50% higher than the overall Georgia teen birth rate of 28.3 and Latina teens still have the highest birth rates compared to other racial and ethnic groups.
So, how this story continues is up to you. There are lots of things you can do to continue to reduce teen birth among Latinas.
First, get connected! Download GCAPP's gPower app to quickly find clinics in your area that provide teen-friendly reproductive health services and to talk directly with a health educator to get real-time answers about your sexual health (plus a lot of other cool features!). You can search for the app on Google and Apple platforms by searching "gPower." Share it with friends or other young people in your life, too!
Second, start talking! The research is clear that one of the most effective ways to reduce teen birth rates is for teens and families to talk together about sex, love, and relationships. Share your values, ask and answer questions, and listen to each other. Although this may seem scary at first, GCAPP has created a Let's Talk Guide to help families introduce this topic with each other and keep talking throughout adolescence.
Third, get involved! Ask what kinds of effective and medically accurate sexual health education programs are available to teens in your community that address not just the birds and the bees, but also healthy relationships, self-esteem, decision-making, puberty, and other important topics. Programs like these are often provided through school districts, through community programs like the Boys and Girls club, or through local churches. If they aren't being provided, start talking about their benefits and talk with GCAPP about how to introduce and integrate programs into your community.
With the support of communities and families and the involvement of Latino teens in their own reproductive health knowledge and care, we can continue to see the rates of teen birth drop among Latinos. Got questions or looking for resources? Visit www.gcapp.org for more information!

There are some authors who just pull me in with their colorful words and interesting storylines. It is normally hard for me to get into mystery books but when I read the first Tyora Moody book, I was hooked. Her book, Oven Baked Secrets is about Eugeena Patterson, a retired school teacher who with her friend Louise Hopkins were like the neighborhood watch team. Whatever happened in their little corner called Sugar Creek did not easily get past them. Unfortunately, Louise son decided to put her in a nursing home, and that doesn't sit well with Eugeena.
There is a lot of drama in Sugar Creek, people disappearing, a blossoming romance, an unknown visitor, and a murder. In addition, Eugeena haven't been allowed to visit her dear friend. There is no way Eugeena is going to ignore what's happening, plus she misses her friend. When your friend is down, who's the best person to find out what is going on? In this case, it's the nosey neighborhood watch keeper Eugeena Patterson.
I enjoyed this story and found the book hard to put down. Tyora Moody has written a witty and interesting read. You'll be intrigued with Eugeena and the host of characters who are working to solve this mystery. I enjoyed reading Oven Baked Secrets, the second book in the Eugeena Patterson Mysteries. I look forward to reading more from this author.

Such a good night! Nishiazabu B612 was such a cool venue with awesome art decor all of the walls. It really looked like it belonged on a New York street!
The night kicked off well and when the food was served, it truly was like a little piece of America! There was quite a range throughout the night and the bar staff were excellent.
Everyone was enjoying talks over good food and many friendships were made. It was the perfect mid-weekend hangout for everyone due to the laid back and welcoming atmosphere.
Thanks to all who attended and we hope to see you again soon!

Great Britain's Hannah Mills and Saskia Clark are mathematically assured of a medal in the women's 470 sailing class at London 2012.
The pair have amassed a large enough points margin after the end of the opening 10-race series to be sure that they will leave with at least a bronze.
Silver is also theirs as long as they are not disqualified or black flagged in Friday's medal race.
Mills and Clark now face a straight fight with New Zealand's Jo Aleh and Olivia Powrie for gold, with the pair level on 33 points.
On Tuesday, Britain's 470 men, Luke Patience and Stuart Bithell, secured at least a silver ahead of their medal race on Thursday.
Earlier, Great Britain's Stevie Morrison and Ben Rhodes saw their hopes of a bronze medal in sailing's 49er class end.
The Exmouth sailors came into the medal race six points off the bronze medal - the only podium position yet to be decided.
