The Pirelli Calendar, known and trade-marked as "The Cal", is an annual trade calendar which has been published by the UK subsidiary of the Italian tyre manufacturing company Pirelli since 1964. The calendar has a reputation for its choice of photographers and models and featured glamour photography from the 1980s until the 2010s.

The calendar is produced with limited availability ( are printed annually). Copies do not go on sale, but are instead given as corporate gifts to celebrities and select Pirelli customers. The annual production cost was about US$2 million in 2017. Marco Tronchetti Provera, Pirelli's CEO since 1992, commented that the purpose of the Cal is "to mark the passing of time" by recording the zeitgeist.

History
The Cal was originally created by the British art director Derek Forsyth. After an unpublished mockup in 1962, it became an annual publication from 1964. In some of the earlier calendars Pirelli tyres featured prominently, though this marketing aspect was later dropped. The first woman photographer to shoot the calendar was Sarah Moon in 1972. Publication was discontinued after the 1974 issue as an economizing cutback in response to the world recession resulting from the 1973 oil crisis. It was resurrected 10 years later and has been published regularly since then except for 2021.

For the first ten years of the calendar's existence it included photographs of fully clothed women, but an emphasis on nudity developed during the 1980s. The 1987 calendar, photographed by Terrence Donovan, was the first to feature only black models, included a bare-bottomed 16-year-old Naomi Campbell. The models were photographed topless in Savannah-like settings and styled in tribal fashion. The calendar continued to use mainly eroticised images until the mid-2010s, although in some instances the pictures taken by the photographers were considered by the editors to be too risqué to use.

From the mid-2010s the calendar moved away from eroticism, and around this time diversity began to be addressed. The 2008 calendar was photographed by Patrick Demarchelier in Shanghai and included a number of Asian models. At the same time a book, The Complete Works: The Pirelli Calendar 1964–2007, was published by Mondadori. The 2010 calendar, photographed by Terry Richardson, used similar imagery to that which was used in the calendar in the 1960s. In 2014 Pirelli released an unpublished calendar from 1986 shot by photographer Helmut Newton. A 50th anniversary book, Pirelli - The Calendar: 50 Years and More, was published by Taschen in 2015.

The 2016 calendar, photographed by Annie Leibovitz, aimed to celebrate women for their accomplishments rather than their physical attributes. It included Fran Lebowitz, Mellody Hobson, Serena Williams, Yoko Ono and Patti Smith to represent inspiring women of diverse ages in almost entirely clothed portraits. The 2017 calendar was photographed by Peter Lindbergh and the women in the photographs were fully dressed and wore no makeup. It was the first calendar in which the photographs had not been retouched. The women photographed included Helen Mirren, Nicole Kidman and Julianne Moore. For the 2018 calendar, photographer Tim Walker chose to feature only black models, including Duckie Thot, Adwoa Aboah, RuPaul, Whoopi Goldberg, and Thando Hopa.

The 2021 calendar was cancelled because of the global coronavirus pandemic but is returning for 2022, featuring musicians and titled On The Road.

Models
Appearance in the calendar has become a mark of distinction for those photographic models who are chosen, as well as for the photographers commissioned to produce the images used. Between 1997 and 2015 casting director Jennifer Starr also influenced the look and direction of each calendar.  Over the years, the models and celebrities who have appeared in it include Alessandra Ambrosio, Bianca Balti, Ana Beatriz Barros, Malgosia Bela, Elsa Benítez, Mariacarla Boscono (3), Lauren Bush, Gisele Bündchen, Naomi Campbell (4), Gracie Carvalho, Helena Christensen, Cindy Crawford, Emanuela de Paula, Waris Dirie, Yamila Díaz, Lily Donaldson, Isabeli Fontana (8), Magdalena Frackowiak, Saskia de Brauw, Sonny Freeman Drane, Gigi Hadid, Duckie Thot, Bridget Hall, Filippa Hamilton, Miranda Kerr, Karlie Kloss, Heidi Klum, Karolína Kurková (3), Noémie Lenoir, Adriana Lima (3), Daisy Lowe, Angela Lindvall, Lakshmi Menon, Kate Moss (3), Petra Nemcová, Sasha Pivovarova, Natasha Poly, Frankie Rayder, Coco Rocha, RuPaul, Anja Rubik, Joan Smalls, Lara Stone (3), Fernanda Tavares, Caroline Trentini, Christy Turlington, Guinevere Van Seenus, Edita Vilkeviciute, Natalia Vodianova (5), Alek Wek (3), Daria Werbowy and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley.

Justia Dockets & Filings Sixth Circuit Michigan Eastern District Grier v. Hester et al Filing 7
Grier v. Hester et al
ORDER DISMISSING CASE Signed by District Judge Avern Cohn. (MVer)
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN SOUTHERN DIVISION RANDIE K. GRIER, Plaintiff, vs. Case No. 17-13409 ALAN HESTER and US BANK TRUST, N.A., HON. AVERN COHN Defendants. ________________________________/ ORDER OF DISMISSAL I. Plaintiff, Randie K. Grier, proceeding pro se, filed a "complaint for unjust enrichment, anticipatory breach and specific performance" naming Alan Hester and US Bank Trust as defendants. Plaintiff also filed a motion for a preliminary injunction (Doc. 3) and motion for a temporary restraining order (TRO). (Doc. 4). For the reasons that follow, the complaint will be dismissed. II. "[A] district court may, at any time, sua sponte dismiss a complaint for lack of subject matter jurisdiction pursuant to Rule 12 (b)(1) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure when the allegations of a complaint are totally implausible, attenuated, unsubstantial, frivolous, devoid of merit, or no longer open to discussion." Apple v. Glenn, et al. 183 F.3d 477, 479 (6th Cir. 1999). When reviewing pro se papers, the court must employ standards less stringent than if the complaint had been drafted by counsel. Haines v. Kerner, 404 U.S. 519 (1972). III. The Court has reviewed the complaint, plaintiff's motions, and attached exhibits. From what can be gleaned, in March of 2017, plaintiff, as tenant, and Hester, as landlord, entered into a lease agreement regarding residential property in Bloomfield Hills. The lease agreement provides for a three year term with a monthly rent of $4,000.00. At the same time, plaintiff and Hester entered into an "Addendum for Option to Purchase," giving plaintiff the option to purchase the property by December 31, 2017. Hester apparently purchased the property in 2016 on a land contract and financed the purchase through US Bank Trust. It appears that the property went into foreclosure at some point prior to entering the lease agreement. Also prior to entering the lease agreement, Hester sued US Bank Trust in Oakland County Circuit Court, presumably challenging the foreclosure. The state court entered summary disposition in favor of US Bank Trust. Hester appealed. The appeal is pending in the Michigan Court of Appeals. Hester v. US Bank Trust, No. 337751. Meanwhile, in September of 2017, US Bank Trust filed an eviction action in the 48th District Court in Bloomfield, naming the "occupants" of the property as defendants. US Bank Trust v. Occupants, No. 17-32965. Plaintiff appeared in the eviction action. On October 10, 2017, the district court entered an order directing plaintiff to deposit $4,000.00 with the court in escrow for prorated rent and $400.00 per month thereafter. On October 19, 2017, plaintiff filed the instant complaint and motions. The complaint asserts claims against defendants for (1) anticipatory breach, (2) unjust enrichment, and (3) specific performance. He claims to have a right to stay in the 2 property pending resolution of the dispute in the Michigan Court of Appeals IV. The complaint is subject to dismissal for two reasons. First, plaintiff has alleged that jurisdiction is based on diversity. However, the complaint fails to property allege diversity of citizenship. Plaintiff simply alleges that defendants are not citizens of Michigan; it does not state the citizenship of either defendant. Moreover, it is likely that Hester, like plaintiff, is a Michigan citizen. Thus, the complaint is subject to dismissal for lack of subject matter jurisdiction for failure to establish diversity of citizenship. See 28 U.S.C. § 1332. Second, it appears that plaintiff is challenging actions which took place in state court. Indeed, in his motions for TRO and preliminary injunction, plaintiff asks the Court to "stay" the eviction proceedings in the district court until the proceedings between Hester and US Bank Trust are concluded in the Michigan courts. Plaintiff's challenge to state court actions are barred by the Rooker-Feldman doctrine. Under this doctrine, federal courts lack jurisdiction to review a case litigated and decided in state court. District of Columbia Court of Appeals v. Feldman, 460 U.S. 462, 482 & n. 16 (1983); Rooker v. Fidelity Trust Co., 263 U.S. 413, 415-16 (1923). Instead, review of final determinations in state judicial proceedings can be obtained only in the United States Supreme Court. 28 U.S.C. § 1257; Feldman, 460 U.S. at 476. To the extent plaintiff is seeking federal court review of what occurred in the state courts, his claims are barred by Rooker-Feldman. Finally, as to plaintiff's motion for a TRO and preliminary injunction, the Court lacks the authority, subject to limited exceptions not present here, to enjoin a state court 3 proceeding. See 28 U.S.C. § 2283 (prohibiting a federal court from "grant[ing] an injunction to stay proceedings in a State court"). Overall, plaintiff must pursue whatever relief he seeks regarding the eviction action in state court. V. Even under a liberal pleading standard, the complaint fails establish a basis for federal jurisdiction. Plaintiff's request for injunctive relief present a viable claim. Accordingly, the complaint is DISMISSED. Plaintiff's motions for TRO and preliminary injunction are DENIED AS MOOT. SO ORDERED. S/Avern Cohn AVERN COHN UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE Dated: October 23, 2017 Detroit, Michigan 4

A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel handled GS segment register base switching when recovering from an #SS (stack segment) fault on an erroneous return to user space. A local, unprivileged Container user could use this flaw to crash the Hardware Node or escalate their privileges on the system. Hence we recommend that all nodes running OpenVZ should update immediately.
A system reboot will be required for the changes to take place. Before rebooting please make sure the kernel entry in your grub is the latest OpenVZ kernel.
If you need any assistance you can contact the Virtualizor team.

Bank of Canada Lowers Interest Rate by 25bp
The Bank of Canada today announced that it is lowering its target for the overnight rate by one-quarter of a percentage point to 2 1/4 per cent. The operating band for the overnight rate is correspondingly lowered, and the Bank Rate is now 2 1/2 per cent.
Bank of Canada Statement
Three major interrelated developments are having a profound impact on the Canadian economy. First, the intensification of the global financial crisis has led to severe strains in financial markets. The associated need for the global banking sector to continue to reduce leverage will restrain growth for some time. Second, the global economy appears to be heading into a mild recession, led by a U.S. economy already in recession. Third, there have been sharp declines in many commodity prices. The outlook for growth and inflation in Canada is now more uncertain than usual.
Consistent with the G7 Plan of Action, major economies have announced extraordinary measures to stabilize their financial systems. These initiatives will be pivotal to resuming the flow of credit to support global economic growth. Canada's economy and strong financial system will benefit directly from these actions.
The weaker outlook for global demand will increase the drag on the Canadian economy coming from exports. Lower commodity prices will also dampen the outlook, working through a deterioration in Canada's terms of trade to moderate domestic demand growth. The marked tightening in Canadian credit conditions in recent weeks will restrain business and housing investment. The Bank expects growth to be sluggish through the first quarter of next year, then to pick up over the rest of 2009 and to accelerate to above-potential growth in 2010 supported by improving credit conditions, the lagged effects of monetary policy actions and stronger global growth. The recent sizeable depreciation of the Canadian dollar will also provide an important offset to the effects of weaker global demand and lower commodity prices. Overall, the Bank projects average annual growth in real GDP of 0.6 per cent in both 2008 and 2009, and 3.4 per cent in 2010.
With excess supply projected to build throughout 2009 and lower assumed energy prices, inflationary pressures will ease significantly relative to the projection in the July Monetary Policy Report Update. Core inflation is now projected to remain below 2 per cent until the end of 2010. Total CPI inflation should peak during the third quarter of 2008, fall below 1 per cent in the middle of 2009, and then return to the 2 per cent target by the end of 2010.
In the face of diminished inflationary pressures, the Bank of Canada lowered its policy interest rate by 50 basis points on 8 October, acting in concert with other major central banks. This extraordinary move, combined with today's announcement, brings the cumulative reduction in our target for the overnight rate to 75 basis points since the Bank's last fixed announcement date. These actions provide timely and significant support to the Canadian economy. The cumulative reduction in the Bank's policy rate since last December is now 225 basis points.
In line with the new outlook, some further monetary stimulus will likely be required to achieve the 2 per cent inflation target over the medium term. The evolution of the financial crisis, its impact on the global economy and the timing of the effects of the various extraordinary measures being taken to address it pose significant risks to the projection on both the upside and the downside.

The Bank of Canada kept its benchmark interest rate steady at 1.75 percent on January 9th 2019, as widely expected. It remained the highest rate since December 2008.

Canada Lifts Key Rate to 1.75%
The Bank of Canada raised its benchmark interest rate by 25bps to 1.75 percent on October 24th 2018 from 1.5 percent, as widely expected. It marks the third increase this year and the highest rate since December 2008. Policymakers said that more hikes will be needed to keep inflation close to the target of 2 percent, as economy stays strong and the new US-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) would reduce economic uncertainty. The bank also mentioned evidence that Canadian households are adjusting well to higher borrowing costs. The Bank Rate is correspondingly 2.0 percent and the deposit rate is 1.50 percent.
The Bank of Canada left its benchmark interest rate steady at 1.5 percent on September 5th 2018, in line with market expectations, following a 25bps hike in the previous meeting.

Canada Raises Interest Rate to 1.5%

The Bank of Canada left its key overnight rate at 1.25 percent on May 30th 2018, in line with market expectations. Policymakers said core measures of inflation remain near 2 percent and recent data support the Bank's outlook for growth at around 2 percent in the first half of 2018. The Bank Rate is correspondingly 1.5 percent and the deposit rate is 1 percent.
Canada Leaves Key Rate Steady at 1.25%
The Bank of Canada held its overnight rate at 1.25 percent on April 18th 2018, in line with market expectations. Policymakers said the transitory impact of higher gasoline prices and recent minimum wage increases will likely cause inflation in 2018 to be modestly higher than expected and the economy is projected to operate slightly above its potential over the next three years. As a result, the central bank sees higher interest rates over time, although some monetary policy accommodation will still be needed to keep inflation on target. The Bank Rate is correspondingly 1.5 percent and the deposit rate is 1 percent.
BoC Holds Key Interest Rate at 1.25%
The Bank of Canada held its overnight rate at 1.25 percent on March 7th 2018, following a 25bps hike in the previous meeting, saying that while the economic outlook is expected to warrant higher interest rates over time, some continued monetary policy accommodation will likely be needed to support growth and inflation.
Canada Raises Key Rate to 1.25%
The Bank of Canada hiked its overnight rate by 25bps to 1.25 percent on January 17th 2018, in line with market expectations. Policymakers said that recent data have been strong, inflation is close to target, and the economy is operating roughly at capacity but noticed that uncertainty surrounding the future of NAFTA is clouding the economic outlook. The Bank Rate is correspondingly 1.5 percent and the deposit rate is 1 percent.
Canada Leaves Monetary Policy Steady
The Bank of Canada held its benchmark overnight rate at 1 percent on December 6th, 2017, in line with market expectations. Policymakers said the current policy stance remains appropriate although higher interest rates will likely be required over time. The Bank Rate is correspondingly 1 1/4 percent and the deposit rate is 3/4 percent.
Canada Holds Overnight Rate at 1%
The Bank of Canada held its benchmark overnight rate at 1 percent on October 25th, 2017, after a surprise hike at the previous meeting, saying that the current stance of monetary policy is appropriate. Policymakers also said that inflation is set to hit the central bank's midpoint target of 2 percent in the second half of 2018 and that growth is projected to remain close to potential over the next two years.
Canada Unexpectedly Hikes the Key Rate to 1.0%
The Bank of Canada unexpectedly raised its benchmark overnight rate by 25 bps to 1 percent at its September 6th 2017 meeting, surprising markets who expected no changes. It is the second consecutive rise in borrowing cost as recent economic data have been stronger than expected, supporting the Bank's view that growth in Canada is becoming more broadly-based and self-sustaining.

Zams
© Archiv TirolWest/Daniel Zangerl
Zams is a village near Landeck in the Upper Inntal Valley located between the mountains of the Venet massif and the imposing 2,811 m high Rauher Kopf peak.
Among its most eye-catching buildings is the Kronburg, a fortress perched high on a rocky outcrop overlooking this settlement of 3,350 residents. Its free-standing tower survived a major fire in 1911 which destroyed the rest of the complex; the church was re-built just 50 metres away. In the heart of the village there are still many traditional farmhouses. Outdoor enthusiasts will find plenty to see and do in the surrounding area. For example, the Zammer Lochputz, one of the most interesting wildwater gorges in the Alps, is accessible via a series of paths, bridges, walkways and tunnels leading past waterfalls and a special power station created for demonstration purposes. Zams is also connected to the E5 European hiking trail and the Way of Saint James, an international pilgrimage trail ending in Santiago de Compostela. Watersports enthusiasts can try their hand at rafting and canyoning. In winter there is a cable car leaving from the village taking skiers and snowboarders up to the local Venet ski resort.

Jennifer Nettles is breaking up with heartbreak in her new video for "Hey Heartbreak."
The nearly four-minute clip, directed by Shane Drake, sees the singer frolicking on the beach in Santa Barbara and enjoying some much-deserved vacation time, sipping wine at dinner and exploring life alone. Instead of crying over a broken heart, Nettles embraces it.
"Who can't relate to a good breakup song?" Nettles says in a press release. "The fun part is that there are all kinds of breakup songs. You could be Adele and you could be heartbroken and down. Or you could be 'Hey Heartbreak' that is super fun and triumphant and almost like an anthem for freedom. You're really moving past the sadness and healing."
Nettles takes a twist from the typical heartbreak song, and throughout each scene in the video, she's all smiles as she takes herself out on a date and finds joy talking to new people.
"The whole idea here is that she is letting go of a heartbreak," Drake says. "She's letting go of all the things that make you feel down -- make you feel constricted. We decided to take a positive approach towards ourselves where Jennifer can have Santa Barbara to recharge and re-energize."
"Hey Heartbreak" is one of the songs off Nettles' sophomore solo album Playing With Fire, released earlier this year. The singer has been keeping busy, as she recently dropped her first holiday album, To Celebrate Christmas, which features duets with Idina Menzel and Andra Day. She also stars as Dolly Parton's mother, Avie Lee Parton, in Christmas of Many Colors: Circle of Love, which will re-air on Dec. 23 on NBC.

Angela (of The Doubleclicks) just wrote a post about how flabbergasted she was that Josh, Joseph, and I wrote and produced a whole musical from scratch.
But we did. We recorded it, and it's up for pre-order, and that's all I'll say about that.
It does seem weirdly impossible, as I look back on it. I couldn't really sit down to write the songs until after my con season wrapped in mid-September, and by than tickets were already on sale. In the six weeks that followed, I wrote ten entirely new songs, most of which were in someone else's voice and musical style. Most members of the cast had less than a month to learn their song. We did exactly two and a half read-throughs the night before, and then a single tech run in the venue just hours before doors would open to the public. On the night of the show, we were still fine-tuning the script.
When you look at all those things together, it sounds astoundingly hard. But, I've always worked best under deadlines, and I'm used to writing songs in Hard Mode, so at the time it seemed unusually hard, but it didn't seem impossible. It was just a big thing, directly in front of me, that needed to get addressed.
The actual show came together in baby steps, so I didn't really notice what a gigantic undertaking it was until it came time to stop taking baby steps and break into a sprint, and by then it was too late to freak out about it.
I decided to write a holiday show. Then I wrote a couple of songs. Then I asked Josh Cagan if he would help me write the words between the songs. Then I picked a date at the Triple Door. Then K Wiley and I made a budget. Then I invited some friends to be in the cast. Then I commissioned a poster from Len Peralta. Then Joseph and Sara Scrimshaw got on board.
Like I said: baby steps.
There were a couple of moments in the months leading up to the show when I went "holy crap, this is a real show now."
When a page went up on the Triple Door website to announce the show and sell tickets, I went "holy crap."
When we finished arranging travel for the Scrimshaws and Kevin Murphy, I went "holy crap."
When I left the first band rehearsal at Betsy's house, I went "holy crap."
When I walked out of OfficeMax with a box full of show posters, I went "holy crap."
When people started coming into town the day before the show, I went "holy crap! holy Jesus, it's a real thing."
I still find myself going "holy crap, we made a show. it's a real show."
I've always struggled with asking for help before it's too late, but for this show, I came to understand how great it is to have a team of talented people you know you can rely on. Your combined skills and talents magnify each other somehow, and you can create things bigger than the sum of their parts. I've gotten so used to struggling in silence, to not reaching out for help until it's too late to alter course; now I see what a dunderhead I was.
Josh was the perfect collaborator for this thing because, while he doesn't sing or play an instrument, he has a musician's ear for music. He was especially good at kicking my song engine in a specific direction because he could say, "This song should be Poor Unfortunate Souls, but a little more Brecht" or "this one should be like Modern Major General, but deranged," and I knew exactly what he meant. Neither of us has a lot of actual music training, so we speak the same pidgin language about it.
Joseph and Sara Scrimshaw should just be in charge of everything from now on, as far as I'm concerned. Joseph both directed the show and played the Narrator, so he kept the show moving forward in more ways than one. Sara was our stage manager and made sure all the weird and disparate moving parts in this show all moved fluidly and in sync.
Ben and David whipped up some incredible costumes for the "Santa" and "Kiri" characters. Rachael kept track of what retakes we needed for the live album recording. Derek and Pat were on standby to lend some muscle, which we ended up not needing so much of. Brandi kept the green room stocked with food and booze. (I won't call hers the most important job because everyone played a key part, but I also won't downplay the importance booze played in this production. Heck, the central motivation for one of the characters was getting a martini at the end of the night.)
There were times on the night of the show where I'd go "oh nuts, someone needs to go tell the merch volunteers to run cash transactions through Square Register," and Brandi or Sara would see me walking in a hurry and intercept me. "What do you need?"
"I need the merch people to know about running cash through the Square–"
"Okay, I'll go tell them."
Oh. Awesome.
It takes a village to put on a musical. Turns out.
Writing songs for everyone in the show was uniquely delightful and challenging. The object of the game was to write songs that my friends would improve upon, just by being themselves. I learned a lot about my friends' songwriting styles in the process, and actually quite a bit about my own style.
I wrote a Doctor Who parody for Vixy & Tony, and I wish I could bottle the glee I felt when I first heard Vixy sing the Actual Freakin' Doctor Who lead line with the fake lyrics I wrote. How many people do you know who could hit those notes with her finesse and bell-like clarity? I know I can't. You try it now, I dare you.
I wanted Seth Boyer's song to sound like something being cracked open, and a bunch of bright colors and tenderness spilling the hell out, because that's how I picture Seth every time he sings about his feelings. He's a big bearded piñata full of emotions. Today, unprompted, he tweeted about the very thing I wrote his song about, and I darned near peed myself.
The Doubleclicks' songs are deceptively simple, and put out these emotionally rich and nuanced stories with efficient, elegant prose and catchy melodies. They're songs that get stuck in your head, but you're glad when they do, because it gives you more time to chew on them.
A Marian Call song draws you close and greets you like an old friend. A Marian Call song feels like the musical extension of a really good, thoughtful conversation, one of those deep-dive discussions that goes on into the wee hours of the night.
The Mongrel Jews' songs make you want to move, but not in a 'hit the dancefloor' sort of way; more of a 'sway in your seat and swing a mug of beer back and forth while singing along' kind of way. Theirs is the siren song that convinces you to ditch everything and run away with the circus.
Nicole (Hello! The Future) Dieker's song was the last one out of the gate, because (knowing she's as big of a nerd for rhyme and lyric as I am,) I set out to write her a Stephen Sondheim-style song. This immediately became as hard as it sounds: each paragraph in each verse rhymed A-A-A-B-B-A, which is FOUR A-rhymes per paragraph, which is STUPID HARD and also WHY MOLLY DID YOU DO THIS TO YOURSELF. I wrote her song around a cartoon version of Nicole in my head, inspired by the articles she's written for The Billfold and so on. Within a few days of receiving her demo & lyrics, she had already made the sock-bear and the can-robot I had mentioned in the song. I never thought that she might make her own props, and it delighted and terrified me. I still don't know how close my cartoon head-canon Nicole is to the real Nicole Dieker, and that equally delights and terrifies me.
I already knew Kiri Callaghan was a badass, and I knew she had pipes, but as soon as I saw her cover of Let It Go, I knew I had to work with her somehow. She was assigned a weirdly paced Game Of Thrones-style song, and she rose spactacularly to the challenge. Face paint was worn, capes were sashayed, and I've never seen anyone balance "adorable" and "scary as all hell" with such deftness as Kiri of the house Callaghan.
I owe more to Kevin Murphy than he could ever know.
I've been watching MST3K since I was 4. I would retreat to my parents' bed if I couldn't sleep, and they'd put on SNL re-runs, Dr. Katz, The Critic, and (most of the time) MST3K. I was too green to catch most of the references, but I wanted to so badly. I could tell that I liked these people, and all I wanted was to understand what they were talking about, to "get" as many the jokes as possible. When they talk about your "formative" years, this is what that word means: MST3K formed my cultural and comic sensibilities almost completely. I have so much to thank them for, including (but not limited to) my vocation.
I wrote a song for Kevin Murphy, and he brought down the house with it. I wrote a lyric about the Macy's parade, and he hit it out of the park. And buckle up, because I will never stop talking about it.
When I started writing all the songs, I dreaded the idea of having an obvious runt in the litter. I figured the odds were high that I would have to send one band a hangdog email saying "Here's the song I wrote for you; sorry; I'm sure to do better next time." You can be the judge of this when the album comes out, but I feel like all the songs are gems – and that continues to weird me out.
So this Thanksgiving, I'm keenly aware of the things I have to be thankful for.
I'm thankful for all the gifted and patient performers on this cast, who took the raw materials we had and made them their own. I'm thankful for the trust my friends put in me when I said "hey I'm writing a musical and I'm going to write a song just for you, is that cool?"
I'm thankful for the powerhouse "four-person duo" that is Vixy & Tony (with Betsy Tinney & Sunnie Larsen). I keep throwing curveballs at them ("hey, here are the chords to a thing I just finished, see you at rehearsal tonight!" kind of curveballs), and time and again they knock them out of the park. (I'm extra thankful for Sunnie Larsen's sturdy tailbone, which got dropped onto the stage by a rickety stool during the first show. Sunnie took it like a champ, AND she looked great doing it.)
I'm thankful to have a venue like The Triple Door in my backyard, whose patient and exceedingly capable staff made us sound great, and feel like rockstars. Thanks, Scott. Thanks, Craig. Thanks, Schraepfer.
I'm thankful so many of my friends were able to come out (on a Wednesday night, no less) to see the show. This show has eaten up the majority of my year, and their support has meant the world to me.
I'm thankful for Ben, who was very patient and understanding when I was in my writing cloister, and who (for about 2 months solid) had to remind me on a near-daily basis to eat food.
I'm deeply gratified to know that I have a network of friends and colleagues, more vast and dense than I ever could have dreamt, to catch me if I fall. (I'm even more gratified to know that, in spite of my worst fears about this project and about myself, I didn't fall.)
I'm so proud of the show, in a way that caught me kind of off guard. Josh and I have since talked about the urge to jump on tables in restaurants and go "HEY LISTEN UP LOSERS, MY FRIENDS AND I MADE A MIRACLE HAPPEN, SO, A LITTLE RESPECT PLEASE." I also didn't realize until we'd already fleshed out a full ensemble, but we had a clean 2:1 lady:dude ratio in the cast, which is fairly uncommon. I am pleased by this factoid, but I am even more pleased that nobody seemed to notice.
In the month or so leading up to this, I was visited by this very familiar feeling that I got a lot when I was in college, the feeling of "I can't wait for this to be over so I don't have to work on it anymore."
But at the same time, there was also the feeling of "I can't wait for this to be done so I can tell people all about it." I was anticipating being proud of something, which is a very, very new feeling for me.
I'm glad to be talking about it now.

UN Climate Change Conference: What's on the Table?
This entry was posted in Classifieds on October 31, 2021 by LuxRed
The latest round of climate talks are getting under way Sunday in Glasgow, Scotland. They are billed as the most important since the Paris conference six years ago. Here are some of the main goals of the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference, also known as COP26.
Keep 1.5 alive
Negotiators pledged in Paris that they would aim to keep the planet from warming more than 1.5 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels.
Scientists have warned that the goal is slipping out of reach without drastic cuts in emissions of carbon dioxide and other planet-warming greenhouse gases.
The planet is already more than 1 degree warmer than it was in the late 1800s, producing more intense heat waves, stronger storms, deeper droughts, bigger wildfires, rising sea levels and more. The higher global temperatures go, the worse things will get, scientists say.
The plans that countries have submitted will not keep the world below the 1.5-degree goal. According to the latest United Nations Emissions Gap Report, current pledges put the world on a path to a disastrous 2.7-degree temperature increase.
Some experts are cautiously optimistic, however.
While 2.7 degrees of warming is dangerous, the world was headed for 3.7 degrees or more before the Paris conference, they note.
Plus, dozens of countries have pledged that by 2050 they will produce "net-zero" emissions. That means slashing carbon-generating sources and balancing the remaining emissions with carbon-absorbing measures such as planting trees.
Following through on these pledges would limit warming to about 2.2 degrees, according to the U.N. report — still too much, but getting closer.
"The Paris agreement is working, but it was never meant to work in one step," Kaveh Guilanpour, vice president for international strategies at C2ES, a climate policy analysis nonprofit, said in a call with reporters.
Under the agreement, countries update their plans every five years, with the expectation that they will make deeper cuts. After a COVID-19-induced delay, COP26 will be the first chance since Paris to formally revisit those plans.
Most countries have increased their ambitions, with some important exceptions. China has not submitted a new plan. Nor has India, the world's third-biggest greenhouse gas emitter. Russia's new plan is no more ambitious than its old one. And Mexico and Brazil backslid.
Guilanpour does not expect negotiators to get to 1.5 degrees by the end of Glasgow. But all is not lost. "COP26 will be an important step, but not the last one," he said.
Developing countries are angry that industrialized nations have fallen short on a 12-year-old pledge to help them fight climate change.
They say they have little to do with warming the planet but are suffering the effects. Since industrialized nations caused the problem by burning fossil fuels as they developed, they say, these nations should take responsibility by helping developing nations pursue a low-carbon development path and adapt to a warmer planet.
Back in 2009, developed countries agreed. They pledged to commit $100 billion per year to developing countries.
They have not. Funding reached $79.6 billion in 2019, according to the latest available data from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.
"These failures to deliver on the commitments agreed to by developed countries undermines trust and confidence in the multilateral system," said a sharply worded statement from a group of 24 developing countries including China, India, Indonesia and Saudi Arabia.
[[??This week,]] developed nations announced a plan to reach $100 billion by 2023, which did not satisfy critics.
Developing countries are also calling for additional financing to cover loss and damage from extreme weather disasters and other climate impacts.
The United States has vigorously opposed any language that suggests liability.
Other developed countries oppose separate funding, too. The European Union prefers to include it under adaptation. It's not clear that there will be any movement on this front in Glasgow.
Can the US deliver?
U.S. President Joe Biden will be attending the World Leaders Summit at the start of COP26. Biden aims to present a much different approach than his predecessor, Donald Trump, who withdrew the United States from the Paris Agreement.
Biden rejoined the agreement on his first day in office. He has quadrupled the U.S. commitment to climate finance. And he has pledged that the United States will be at net-zero emissions by 2050.
Political realities are complicating his goals, however.
[[CHECK IF STILL OK WHEN USED]] Congress has stripped key provisions from a major bill addressing climate change. The bill is still under negotiation. It is not clear whether Biden will arrive in Glasgow with legislation to back up his ambitions.
The mood going into Glasgow is fairly downbeat.
"Progress on these issues will not be easy," Lorena Gonzalez of the World Resources Institute Finance Center told reporters. Many of the agenda items "have been put off in years past because they're among the most complex issues that negotiators are trying to tackle."

Pete Tong and Skream join forces on 'All Gone Pete Tong & Skream Miami 2013', which includes tracks and remixes from Hot Natured, Maya Jane Coles, Dusky, Jamie Jones, Midland, Maceo Plex and many more, with 11 of the tracks exclusive to the compilation. Tong – along with studio partner Paul Rogers - provides a new original production in 'Dance With The Devil' and a brand new reworking of Hot Natured's 'Assimilation', both of which are exclusives.
Also from the duo is their edit of the Pachanga Boys' 'Time', a version that was created especially for this compilation.
As one third of Magnetic Man, Croydon-born producer, Skream, has been expanding his aural field to include house and garage-tinged beats and melodies. "I've come so far from where I was before but then I've never really been in one place," says Skream of the shift. "House, techno, disco... this is the music that I'm pushing and loving now. Things needed to evolve and I couldn't be happier."

Sneak Peek: General Purpose Lab at LBNL
Dean Samuels | construction process, design process
As the first new building to be constructed in 50 years in Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory's "Old Town," the 43,000-square-foot General Purpose Laboratory sets the stage for future redevelopment on this part of campus. When RMW took a hard-hat tour of the GPL (a.k.a. Building 33), we got a peek into how our design team, led by Glenn Bauer and Stan Lew, created the facility to support flexible, collaborative laboratories on a highly constrained site.
Building 33 houses laboratories and offices for approximately 120 researchers. Scientists will be collocated from the Life Sciences, Physical Biosciences, Chemical Sciences and Materials Sciences Divisions. Research areas will include cancer and the impact of radiation on cells, fundamental biology, neuroscience, and environmental cleanup. This work is supported by wet lab research space, tissue culture, microscopy and lab support rooms.
The idea in housing these different research groups under one roof is to create a collaborative "mixing bowl" that encourages group interaction, resulting in the cross-pollination of ideas. Groups will change as science and mission requirements evolve, and so the labs and offices are designed to accommodate a range of equipment while supporting changing workflow.
The first thing you see as you approach the GPL is the curtainwall that wraps the building's main communicating stair. Spanning three stories, with a multi-tiered lighting element, the stair is both an architectural feature and a place for people to meet serendipitously. The stair also symbolizes one of the GPL's themes: transparency. Transparency, both in work processes and in the physical environment, encourages the free flow of ideas, and is essential to the collaborative process.
The GPL's two-story lobby atrium is punctuated by a red-tiled wall that is visible from the outside. This same red provides an accent color throughout the building, in both lab and office spaces.
Approximately 40% of the three-story building is allotted to offices and 60% to laboratories and laboratory support space. The GPL's open office environment allows for expansive light-filled space with incredible views. Private offices and meeting rooms have large glass windows, workstations are open plan, and exterior glass window walls bring in natural light and vistas. The light is filtered through exterior louvers and bounces off interior light shelves.
Collaborative areas within the workspace are enclosed with glass and feature walls finished with whiteboard paint.
Lab areas take advantage of views, too, with floor-to-ceiling windows. Counter-height opaque panels diffuse direct light.
Lab benches are flexible: shelves can be moved or removed, and mechanical hook-ups can be switched up and routed through the overhead service carriers. Laboratories are planned on a regular module to allow for multiple programs to share work equipment.
The building will soon be occupied by dynamic scientific research groups that will realize the spirit of collaborative science.

13 pilot whales returning to sea, off Western Australia
Pilot whale. Western Australian State Government Department of Conservation and Land Management (CALM) officers fear that the whales could becomes stranded again.
Rescuers were today sending a pod of 13 pilot whales back into the ocean at Geographe Bay, near to Busselton, south of Perth, in Western Australia. Six additional members of the pod had died during the stranding, including at least one calf. More than 300 people were watching as the whales set out to sea following a 30 hour rescue effort.
The whales had become stranded early yesterday. Several power boats and a spotter plane were escorting the surviving whales towards Cape Naturalist, in an operation expected to take several hours.
Western Australian State Government Department of Conservation and Land Management (CALM) officers feared that the whales could become stranded again.
One CALM officer, Neil Taylor, told ABC News dozens of his colleagues and community volunteers had helped the whales survive throughout the night.
"The vet has checked them all and given them some antibiotics yesterday, last thing before dark," he had told the Australian national broadcaster.
"I think the plan is that the vet will be there again [today] and will give them some vitamins to kick them along before they actually take their swim out to sea."
