'Marriage Story' and the Evolution of the Divorce Film – Hollywood Reporter
Posted: November 16, 2019 at 3:43 pm
In a world of conscious uncoupling and trendy divorce rituals that border on bad satire, Noah Baumbachs Marriage Story is a lacerating exploration of a dying marital relationship.
The film opens with Charlie and Nicole (brilliantly played by Adam Driver and Scarlett Johansson) listing each others virtues at the request of their mediator, hoping positive recollections will soften the blow of divorce (Nicole is a good listener, while Charlie is a terrific Dad, etc.). But thats no longer enough for the rising New York theater director and especially his creative partner/muse, a former Hollywood actress who briefly made a name for herself with a few TV appearances. Charlie is indifferent to Nicoles achievement (he never watches television anyway, he says matter-of-factly) and she, in turn, feels invisible. For years, Nicole has wanted to return to Los Angeles, her home base, a desire made all the more pressing when shes offered the chance to do a pilot. Charlie has never had any interest in moving to L.A.
Nicole relocates there with their 8-year-old son, Henry (Azhy Robertson), and the ugly tug-of-war between husband and wife over custody mushrooms, thanks in large part to the legal system and its practitioners (played to scene-stealing perfection by Laura Dern as Nicoles commanding attorney in stilettos, who earnestly espouses, What youre doing is an act of hope, and Ray Liotta as the $900-an-hour barracuda representing Charlie).
Charlie has the worst of it, attempting to keep his work in New York afloat while regularly flying across the country to see his son. Marriage Story provides a detailed look not simply at the dynamics of a couple spiraling downward, but also at the comic and horrible legal wrangling that takes place which, most tragically, distorts Nicole and Charlies relationship even in retrospect.
The granularity of the legal procedural elements alone makes Marriage Story a cutting-edge entry in the divorce movie subgenre. Add to the brew the complicated, contradictory emotions experienced by the warring parties vis a vis each other and, more important, within themselves. Each has valid points; neither is a villain. In true contemporary style, everyone is doing the right thing, and its almost impossible to cast blame, unlike in so many films that cover the same territory.
If Marriage Storyis an artistic leap for Baumbach, its seeds were evident in his 2005 The Squid and the Whale, a divorce narrative told from the perspective of a 16-year-old (Jesse Eisenberg) observing his artsy Park Slope family imploding. His mother, Joan (Laura Linney), is having an affair, but of greater relevance to their marital issues, she and husband Bernard (Jeff Daniels) are two writers whose fortunes are moving in opposite directions: Her career is soaring while his is dead in the water.
Like Marriage Storys Charlie, Bernard is intellectually pretentious, valuing creativity above all else and eschewing commercial success. Its a familiar Baumbach type, reaching full fruition in the filmmakers wonderful 2017 The Meyerowitz Stories (New and Selected) with Dustin Hoffman as the aging patriarch, an artist grappling with mortality and legacy.
The anguish of divorce is natural film fodder, and its been amply covered over the decades in a variety of films, each informed by its genre and era. The slick sitcom Divorce American Style (1967) is galaxies away from Danny DeVitos dark (ultimately violent) 1989 farce The War of the Roses or Husbands and Wives, a 1992 Woody Allen flick that is at once a comic tribute to Ingmar Bergmans Scenes From a Marriage and a self-referential autobiographical pic detailing Allen and Mia Farrows disintegrating relationship. His is a rarefied New York City world where everyone lives in tastefully appointed and/or book-lined homes, makes good money and takes for granted satisfying careers in such settings as Columbia University and high-end editorial offices.
Indeed, all these films zero in on well-heeled, homogeneously white communities where men are usually the primary breadwinners while wives may or may not work. That said, womens employment or lack thereof was leading to donnybrooks in films about divorce way before Marriage Story or even The Squid and the Whale hit the screen. In Kramer vs. Kramer (1979) and War of the Roses, the wives, Joanna and Barbara (Meryl Streep and Kathleen Turner, respectively), are unfulfilled precisely because they have no identity outside the home. Barbara launches a catering business, but her husband Oliver (Michael Douglas) looks down his nose at her. Hes Harvard Law, shes a State University gymnast; hes articulate, she gropes for the right word. Her career blossoms and she grows to detest him, literally wishing him dead.
In Kramer, Streeps Joanna and Hoffmans Ted hail from the same class, but her yearnings have been ignored so she jumps ship to find herself, abandoning her son to Ted, who must now juggle two jobs: high-powered advertising writer and Mr. Mom, a gig he is ill-prepared to tackle. Nonetheless, he grows increasingly attached to his young son. When Joanna returns (as meteorically as she disappeared) with her newly spawned career in tow, she demands custody of their child. Joanna is not a simpatico character, though many would still come to her defense and there was no shortage of ink shed on the topic at the time, the height of the womens movement.
Like Charlie in Marriage Story, the husbands in Kramer and War are baffled and enraged by their wives discontent. Each has worked hard to provide his family with a high standard of living. But unlike Charlie and, for that matter, Squids Bernard, the men in Kramerand War celebrate materialism, while their partners put a premium on communication. It was a long-standing trope that men dont listen on the one hand and refuse to confide their own feelings on the other. That truism persisted, perhaps, until Allen came along and created male figures who discussed their emotional experiences ad nauseam. Arguably, their relentless airing leads to the breakups in his films; openness has its consequences, too.
Extramarital affairs also have played a role in onscreen divorce whether as the cause or symptom of deeper issues.Squids Joan is a cheater and so is George (Albert Finney), Faiths (Diane Keaton) husband in Alan Parkers Shoot the Moon (1982). But nowhere is the extramarital affair a more defining event than in Paul Mazurskys An Unmarried Woman (1978), in which Erica (Jill Clayburgh) is unceremoniously dumped by her husband, Martin (Michael Murphy), for a younger woman. His infidelity leads to divorce and simultaneously becomes a vehicle for Ericas transformation from devastation to a freshly acquired sense of self-worth. Shes no longer interested in Martin and even refuses to tie the knot with her new boyfriend Saul (Alan Bates), an embodiment of sensitivity, warmth, charm and physical appeal. Her independence takes precedence over marriage or even committing herself to spending the summer with a lover whos beyond reproach.
Often the new love interest in divorce films stands in stark contrast to the spouse, thus functioning as further provocation. In Squid, Joans new beau (played by William Baldwin) is a youthful, intellectually limited tennis pro whom Bernard views as the consummate philistine. Similarly, in Shoot the Moon, Faiths post-breakup lover (Peter Weller) is a young construction worker shes hired to build a tennis court in her backyard, which George will have to bankroll. Squids Bernard and Husbands and Wives Gabe (Allen), both creative writing teachers, court their nubile, much younger students (played by Anna Paquin and Juliette Lewis, respectively).
At the same time, in these films, it often seems to be the husbands who suffer most intensely through the divorce, usually because theyre clueless. They also shoulder the exorbitant cost of child support and alimony, causing their own lifestyles to plummet. In Squid, Bernards new abode is in serious disrepair and sparsely furnished a far distance, literally and metaphorically, from his previous (and now his wifes) comfy Park Slope brownstone. In Divorce American Style, the lowered economic status of the hubby played by Dick Van Dyke is played for laughs. The films comic heavy, a sleazy ex-husband (delightfully brought to life by Jason Robards), spends his time concocting ways, one scheme more Machiavellian than the next, to get his ex-wife wealthily remarried so that he can regain his economic equilibrium.
Even in The War of the Roses, in which Oliver is staggeringly rich and doesnt need the family home, he feels entitled to it because he paid for it and moves back in to establish ownership resulting in a mounting melee of blood-curdling assaults. Hes also acting on the advice of counsel (a hilarious Danny DeVito), a figure of unabashed corruption as seen through a Borscht Belt lens who is the predecessor of the more finely realized legal avatars of divorce in Marriage Story.
The potential loss of ones child (or children) is the crucible for the divorced dad, as first (and most poignantly) dramatized in the groundbreakingKramer vs. Kramer, a film that depicts a father who, since his wife walks out on the family, is forced to become the superior parent and deserves custody. Who can forget its three-hanky ending, when Joanna relinquishes her court-awarded rights in favor of a higher moral ground? That was, of course, a feel-good Hollywood denouement, with its obligatory nod to feminism and its credibility up for debate.
More realistic was Shoot the Moon, which memorably illustrates the impact a breakup has on the whole family (including four daughters), as well as on new partners who are not bad people but, like everyone else involved, are trapped in a no-exit morass. Finneys George, a successful writer (again), is having an affair and the tensions between him and Keatons homemaker Faith are mounting, finally erupting in an overplayed dish-breaking scene. Moving in with his mistress (Karen Allen) and her son, George is suddenly part of a new family and losing contact with his own children especially his eldest, Sherry (Dana Hill), who, identifying with her mother, rejects him. In a drunken rampage, George spanks her mercilessly.
But the films final moments say it all. After George crashes through Faiths newly built tennis court, destroying it with his car, he is beaten to a pulp by Faiths construction worker lover (Weller). He lies battered on the ground, his children clustered around him, perhaps with forgiveness. He imploringly extends his hand to Faith, who, peering down at him, remains silent, immobile, refusing to take it. The love is gone, at least from her end.
The feelings are more oblique and messier in Marriage Story, something else that makes the film feel different from the similarly themed works that preceded it. Even as Charlie and Nicole hopelessly watch the demise of their relationship, theyre still connected, however tenuously. At the divorce arbitration, an unpleasant and contentious encounter, Nicole orders Charlies lunch, knowing what he wants when he cant make up his own mind. Its a telling and touching detail.
A year later, after the divorce proceedings have come and gone, a residual love remains between them, coupled with a renewed appreciation and even a redefined affection that in no way negates the inevitability or finality of the breakup. Its both unremittingly sad and also, in its exceptional nuance, unprecedented in films about divorce.

San Antonio–Samantha Weber had 20 kills, while Kori McCarver added 14, helping St. Mary's University to a convincing 30-21, 30-22, 30-27, win over Texas A&M University-Kingsville in volleyball action Wednesday night at Bill Greehey Arena.
Weber (Sr., Fort Lupton, Colo.) reached 20 kills in a single match for the second time this season. She had just four attack errors for a .432 attack percentage. She also added two blocks and five digs. She had nine kills in the final game alone.
McCarver (Fr., San Antonio) continued her strong play at the start of her Rattler career. She had 14 kills against just one error for a .542 attack percentage. She had a team-high three service aces. Courtney Matula (Sr., San Antonio) had 49 assists, while Valerie Teter (Jr., San Antonio) had 14 digs.
As a team the Rattlers hit a season-best .315 in the match, including 56 kills against just 17 attack errors. They had 53 assists, six service aces and 50 digs. TAMUK hit .186 with 39 kills in the match. Sha Tramble led the Javelinas with nine kills.
The Rattlers did not trail in the match until an 8-2 run by the Javelinas in game three gave them a 23-22 lead. The Javelinas held on to the lead at 26-25, but a disputed kill by McCarver tied things at 26-26 and the Rattlers finished the game by outscoring the Javelinas 5-1 to win 30-26.
With the win the Rattlers broke a three-match losing streak and improved to 3-5 on the season. TAMUK fell to 4-4. St. Mary's will return to action on Friday when they travel to Lawton, Okla., to play in the first round of the Cameron University/Best Western Invitational. The Rattlers will take on the University of Central Oklahoma at 1 p.m.


The recurrent themes of my research regard the position of contemporary identities in an unstable reality with its continuous collapse of points of reference. Oscillating between an intimate and collective dimension my works take shape through a process of synthesis of material and corporeal elements, questioning the unequivocal stability of their usual representation. The intention is to leave an image that in its essence becomes capable of ramifying autonomously, extricating itself from its origin and triggering a direct and emotional dialogue with the viewer and his own iconographic and cultural sources.


You're already working with a version prior to Mapping System MSv7 and ask yourself "why a new version and what did the creative folks at DiVisual® change?". Well, those of you familiar with older versions may know, that everything before MSv7 was based on a simple Photoshop TM basic architecture, called "actions". These "actions" are static commands performing a task. Actions can not interact with the user nor can they perform logic decisions based upon the file they are working with. In comparison MSv7 is using all kinds of programming and scripting languages supported by Adobe. This way, MSv7 can fulfill tasks based on user inputs and on the things you have already registered in your map-file.
But this are just things and techniques behind the curtain. For you as a user, the main thing you might notice is the new "DiVisual® Tool Window". In this window or palette we have nested a bunch of simple buttons, buttons that are giving you all the tools and much more right at hand.
Most of all, the biggest news is this: all entries (what you are registering in your map-file) are now logged and linked to an event. This way, you can start extensive monitoring on works of art since all you are registering is and will stay related to a certain event or date. And... you can now map treatments as well.

Rick and Amber are together in the hospital room. He holds her hand, but she says she can barely feel him because her body is so numb. She apologies for scaring him, but he says it wasn't her fault. Amber tells him not to worry because she can rest now and focus on the baby. Rick breaks down in tears.
Rick comforts Amber who still doesn't know what happened. Amber wants everyone to know that she has something to offer and that she isn't a gold digger. Amber says this is just the beginning; the next thing she has to offer is a baby. She can't wait to meet her. Amber notices that Rick is really crying a lot now and wants to know what is wrong.
Amber tries to remember everything that happened before she got sick. She tells him pretty much everything that Rick already knew before he got the bad news. She tells him her dream about having the baby already. Rick is trying to keep it all together while she recants it. The music is rather creepy throughout all this. Amber finally notices Rick's profuse amount of crying after she goes on and on about having tons of kids. Oh yeah did I mention the doctor alluded to Amber never being able to have kids again? I'm not quite sure what the story is on that. Amber quickly takes her hand and feels her abdomen, or lack there of compared to what it was earlier. She freaks and wants to know where the baby is.
Amber says it's way too soon and becomes hysterical. Rick explains she was bleeding to death and the baby wasn't getting enough of oxygen. He explains what was really wrong with her. Amber calms down because she thinks the baby is okay, though born early. Rick says the baby was a girl. Amber says she must be so tiny and asks how serious it is. Then by his look she realizes the baby is really sick. She starts wailing. Amber says she wants to see the baby right now, but Rick says he can't. Then, as Amber keeps screaming for her baby, Rick screams back that the kid didn't make it. That shuts Amber up big time. In fact I think it takes the wind out of her.
Amber is in a bit of shock now. Rick makes sure that Amber knows it isn't her fault and that working too hard didn't cause this. All Amber can do is sob and say why. Then she says she is such an idiot. How many times does she have to lose a baby before she realizes it isn't going to happen for her? First the boy and now this baby. Amber says she gets the reality: other people are allowed to be happy and want things, but when it comes to her, she's outta luck. She sounds like me when I used to get upset as a child and say totally rash things like that. The rash talk and crying continues and all I can do is be sad for them.
Bridget is in tears out in the waiting room. She says she feels like she wants to be in there for them, but then again is afraid as well. Stephanie tells her that is understandable. It's going to be very difficult and painful to tell Amber what happened. Stephanie asks Eric how Rick took the news. He says it was hard for him to hear the news. Bridget laments at how sudden and unexpected this was for them. To add to that, now the two of them have lost two babies. Gee, sounds awfully like Morgan. In fact, Bridget sounds about the same as Morgan did when Stephanie took her back to the beach house after she lost her second baby. Stephanie feels someone should be in there. The two of them have lost a child and they are children themselves. Eric says they won't be kids after this.
Bridget and Eric are hugging as she wishes Brooke were here. Stephanie recalls what it was like to be pregnant. She says she felt like it was such a privilege and almost as if the unborn child chose her to carry him or her into the world. Then when something crappy like this happens, who do you blame? She says there is no one to blame. Because of that, the mother often blames herself (perhaps in Angela's case) that she wasn't good enough for the baby. Amber will probably blame herself no matter what they say. Bridget adds the doctor did mention something about Amber not having kids anymore. Stephanie is taken aback. She wonders how this could happen to such a caring and loving person. Then she becomes worried that Amber will give up on life all together.
Eric says that Amber will get over this in time and Stephanie points out that at least the marriage is strong. Bridget adds she has Little Eric and her career. Stephanie gets up in a little bit of a huff after the mentioning of Amber's career. Eric says that she has come a long way and Stephanie would be impressed. Eric adds that Amber is a fighter and will come back strong. Stephanie wonders how many times you can knock someone down before they lose all hope.

What's wrong with the children of today? Raised by Hypocrites!
I have seen many facebook posts about how different the childhood lives were of us older folks. We are so proud of our crazy escapades. We used to run wild with parental consent. Playing outside was the norm. At times, we were literally miles away, and far outside the reach of any authority. We were physically fit, we were using our imaginations, and we got dirty. We had a great time.
I grew up in a neighborhood full of mostly boys. There was motorcycle riding, bicycle riding, skateboarding all sans helmet, pick-up games of football and kick ball, horseback riding and other such activities. There was a creek nearby for swimming, fishing, and crawdad catching.
So, what stands out? Well, let's see. There was the time when I was riding on the back of an ATV, a stick somehow got stuck up my pant leg and so I shook my leg to get rid of it. My leg was caught under the back tire, which sucked me right off the seat and I was slammed to the ground as the tire rolled over my limb. My driver friend took a serious hit to her ribs against the handlebars.
One day, my neighbor decided he would like to be strung up a tree. Seriously, it was his idea. Does anyone remember how much fun you can have with the old rope over the branch trick? Well, said neighbor boy created a loop and put it around his neck and asked my brother to start pulling on the rope. He made it a few feet off the ground before he started making very strange noises and the writhing of his body was evidence enough for my brother to let him down. Brilliant thinking on behalf of both of them.
At one point in time, boyhood frustrations were running high. There were altercations occurring. One day, we kids happened across previously mentioned hang him up boy and his military father. The father thought it would be a great idea to duke it out and settle the tension. So he asked "Who wants to fight?" Boys agreed to fighting, and fighting occurred. As the only girl, I was an observer. As I recall, the fights ended on their own with mutual consent. Can you imagine the headlines today?
These are but a few of my many, many stories I could tell you about the youth of past days.
So, parents, if life was so great, why won't you let your children experience the same?
Let your children run wild with no knowledge of their whereabouts for hours on end. Let them trick-or-treat unsupervised. Let them sell cookies door-to-door to complete strangers with no parents watching over them. Forget the helmets, forget the seatbelts. Remember how much fun it was without them? Swimming alone, why not? There is nothing like living a little dangerously. It will build character. As a small test, tell your children to leave their cell phones at home to simulate the lack of contact. Are you game? Probably not.
Did we have great fun as youths? Yes we did. We didn't know how stupid we were being, and yet we look back at it with fondness. Did we let our children do the same? Heck no! Are you a hypocrite? I can't answer for all of you, but for me, yes, guilty as charged!

Oberweis bill goes after Sunday closings, again
Hours after the state's 101st General Assembly was seated on Jan. 9, Illinois Sen. Jim Oberweis, took a step he has repeated annually since 2014 and introduced legislation to open the state's car dealerships to sales on Sundays.
Senate Bill 22, which Oberweis, R-Sugar Grove, refers to as the Religious Equity Act, would allow for the sale of motor vehicles on any six days of the week chosen by the business owner, instead of on any day but Sunday, as the Illinois Vehicle Code currently allows.
The legislation is a repeat of last year's Freedom to Choose Act, which also would have allowed dealerships the opportunity to be open on any six days of the week of their choice, including Sunday. This is another Oberweis attempt to allow vehicle sales on Sundays. His focus is that if one dealership opens on Sundays, many others will follow.
Sunday car sales have been banned in Illinois since 1984. Automobile dealers largely supported the ban when it was enacted because it gives them a chance to close one day a week, giving workers a day off and saving the business the cost of opening. The Chicago Automobile Trade Association still supports the Sunday ban.
Oberweis apparently remains surprised by that stance shared by the CATA and the Illinois Automobile Dealers Association.
"I thought I would be the hero of the automobile industry by getting (government) off their backs," he said, "only to find out instead that this is promoted by many of the car dealers. That makes it even worse in my opinion. Then what you are doing is using the power of government to thwart competition and control the marketplace."
The bill wouldn't force dealerships to be open on Sunday, but competition might essentially force them to be.
"If one dealer is going to be open, they're all going to be open," CATA Chairman Tony Guido said. "It can be a hardship on the smaller people. Who wants to work seven days a week?"
All of Illinois' neighboring states have the ban, but 32 states do allow Sunday sales. Guido said he isn't sure being open an extra day is necessary for consumers to shop for cars.
None of Oberweis's previous bills earned a vote in the Senate, but were given hearings instead.


Let's be honest… picking out floral centerpieces can be both stressful and costly. We have put together 5 simple and easy centerpiece ideas that are super cute, and won't break the bank.
We love this really cute arrangement of centerpieces. The wood blocks dipped in paint is genius and affordable. Have a cute table in minutes!
Recycle your old cans and refresh them with a few coats of spray paint. The ribbed sides of the cans add texture and the possibilities are endless and affordable!
Add a variety of colored rubber bands to clear glass vases for a quick, easy and mess free centerpiece. Add in a few floral stems, and you've got yourself a cute centerpiece!
Wine bottles are a great way to add height to your table. Spray paint the bottles all one color or mix and match to add more depth and character. Either way, you've got a beautiful centerpiece and some awesome height.
We love the different elements used in this centerpiece collection. Dip mason jars, vases, old glasses ect. in your paint of choice for a creative and simple centerpiece.


Welcome to the Burnham on Crouch RNLI website. We cover the River Crouch between Battlesbridge, to the west, and eastward through Brandy Hole, Fambridge and Althorne, to the River Roach and areas extending beyond the river entrance and into the maze of sandbanks and mudflats that lie offshore. Our mission is to save lives at sea.
We have 2 inshore lifeboats at the station, manned by a total of 20 volunteers from all walks of life. Please take a moment to explore what we do and how you might be able to support our life-saving work.
Burnham on Crouch RNLI's history dates back to 1966, when the station with a D Class lifeboat was opened. Initially only operational during the sailing season, it became an all year station in 1987.
From 1989 the 16-foot D class was tasked to assist boats in trouble in the approaches to the river (beyond Shore Ends) more frequently and also that some 55 – 60% of 'shouts' were taking place after dark. As a result, it was decided that, subject to finding a suitable site, an Atlantic 75 lifeboat should be stationed in Burnham from 1996.
Having outgrown the station at the eastern end of the town and needing space for the new Atlantic 75, the present station was built at the western end of the town in the new marina. At the same time, the first our our two floating boathouses was built and installed at our current home in Burnham yacht Harbour. A second floating boathouse was built and installed in 2002, to house our D Class ILB. These floating boathouses became operational in late 1996, along with a shoreside admin, workshop and training centre, which was funded entirely by local donations.
This arrangement of 2 boats, 2 floating boathouses and the shoreside admin, workshop and training centre is what we have today. When we first became operational in 1966, we had just 4 volunteers. That number has now grown to 20, with a regular training programme, both offsite and at RNLI HQ in Poole, supported by regular input from the RNLI's regional staff.
Our lifesaving work is funded entirely by donations, both centrally, through the RNLI's national fundraising work, and through local donations which enable us to save lives and to go to the assistance of vessels and people in distress. Everything from our boats, to safety clothing for crew and crew training is paid for by these donations; everything that is, except for the time of our volunteers, which they give for nothing.
We are indebted to the benefactors who have funded the lifeboats, past and present, that have been based at the station. In particular, we would like to acknowledge the remarkable generosity of David and Barbara Chapman who have funded 3 successive D Class inshore lifeboats, the most recent of these is the 'David & Barbara Chapman ', which arrived on station in May and was named on June 3rd, 2017. We would also like to acknowledge the generous bequest of Mr Geoffrey Brian Britt which together with a generous gift from Patricia Britt funded our Atlantic 85 B849, the 'Tony & Robert Britt', which arrived on station in August 2011.
The work of the Burnham RNLI Guild in fundraising is invaluable to us. Their members tirelessly run fundraising events for the station, ranging from our traditional RNLI carol service at St Mary's each year to jazz concerts and garden parties.
Burnham on Crouch RNLI currently operates 2 lifeboats, one being an Atlantic 85, the 'Tony & Robert Britt' which arrived on station in August 2011 and the other a D Class IB1, the 'David & Barbara Chapman' which arrived on station in June 2017.
The Atlantic 85 is powered by twin 115HP outboard engines, giving it a top speed of 35 knots and an endurance of over 4 hours. It carries a crew of 4. The deep V hull combined with the inflatable tubes around the hull and a water ballast system make the Atlantic 85 a highly capable sea keeping craft able to withstand much worse weather and sea conditions than the D Class inshore lifeboat. In addition, it has a full self righting capability. The Atlantic 85 has a sophisticated navigation and communications system, including DSC VHF, radar, GPS, chart plotter and RDF. These are invaluable in helping to locate and assist casualties, even in poor visibility.
The D Class ILB is 5 meters in length and is powered by a single 50HP petrol outboard giving it a top speed of 30 knots in flat water. It carries a crew of 3. The fully inflatable hull, with minimal draft, makes it ideal for reaching casualties in shallower and more remote parts of both rivers.
Our 2 floating boathouses based at Burnham Yacht Harbour are among only 3 such RNLI installations in the UK, so we are particularly proud of them. They enable us to keep our boats clear of the water, but ready for immediate service at all states of tide.
Our first floating boathouse was commissioned in 1996. A second floating boathouse for our D Class ILB was completed in July 2002.
When the station first became operational in 1966, we had just 4 volunteers. That number has now grown to 20.
Our volunteers range in age from 17 to 70, and come from all walks of life. We number amongst our volunteers policemen, local shopkeepers and teachers, many of whom didn't have a connection with the sea before they started. However they all have a common purpose in volunteering their time to help save lives, and a shared level of training and professionalism, to ensure that they are properly equipped to do so.

We never stop fundraising, so we're always grateful to accept donations. However much you are able to give would be received with thanks and appreciation.
If you would like to make a donation, please email our Treasurer using treasurer@burnham-rnli.org or contact us using the details on the Contact Page. We would be pleased to discuss with you the different ways in which you can donate, and how to do so tax effectively.
We are always happy to hear from prospective volunteers, whether as fundraisers, shore crew or seagoing crew members.
For shore crew or seagoing crew members, you need to be located within 5 minutes of the lifeboat station and able to give a few days and evenings a month to training. You'll also need to be able to commit to being available on call. For seagoing crew members, you need to be between the age of 18 and 49 on application, and be able to pass the RNLI's medical.
If you you'd like to volunteer and meet these criteria, please get in touch with us by using any of the options on the Contact Page. We look forward to hearing from you.
Burnham on Crouch RNLI's history dates back to 1966, when a station with a D Class lifeboat was opened. The boathouse was in what is now the dinghy park of the Royal Corinthian Yacht Club.
Initially only operational during the sailing season, it became an all year station in 1987.
A review of the type and frequency of services of lifeboats on the East Coast showed that since 1989 the 16-foot D class was being tasked to assist boats in trouble in the approaches to the river (beyond Shore Ends) more and more frequently and also that some 55 – 60% of 'shouts' were taking place after dark. As a result, it was decided that, subject to finding a suitable site, an Atlantic 75 lifeboat should be stationed in Burnham from 1996.
This arrangement of 2 boats, 2 floating boathouses and the shoreside admin, workshop and training centre is what we have today.
When we first became operational in 1966, we had just 4 volunteers. That number has now grown to 20, with a regular training programme, both offsite and at RNLI HQ in Poole, supported by regular input from the RNLI's regional staff.
Since becoming operational in 1966, Burnham on Crouch RNLI has saved 43 lives and rescued 931 casualties.
Our livesaving work is funded entirely by donations, both centrally, through the RNLI's national fundraising work, and through local donations which enable us to save lives and to go to the assistance of vessels and people in distress. Everything from our boats, to safety clothing for crew and crew training is paid for by these donations; everything that is, except for the time of our volunteers, which they give for nothing.
We are indebted to the benefactors who have funded the lifeboats, past and present, that have been based at the station. In particular, we would like to acknowledge the remarkable generosity of David and Barbara Chapman who have funded 3 successive D Class inshore lifeboats, the most recent of these is the 'Ernest & Rose Chapman II', which arrived on station in February 2007. We would also like to acknowledge the generous bequest of Mr Geoffrey Brian Britt which together with a generous gift from Patricia Britt funded our Atlantic 85 B849, the 'Tony & Robert Britt', which arrived on station in August 2011.
The work of the Burnham RNLI Guild in fundraising is invaluable to us. Their members tirelessly run fundraising events for the station, ranging from our traditional RNLI carol service at St Mary's each year to jazz concerts and garden parties. In total, the Guild raised over £30,733 for the station and for the RNLI in general in 2014, for which we are very grateful.
Burnham on Crouch RNLI currently operates 2 lifeboats, one being an Atlantic 85, the 'Tony & Robert Britt' which arrived on station in August 2011 and the other a D Class IB1, the 'Ernest & Rose Chapman II' which arrived on station in February 2007.
Our first floating boathouse, to house what was then our Atlantic 21 was commissioned in 1996. A second floating boathouse for our D Class ILB was completed in July 2002.
When the station first became operational in 1966, we had just 4 volunteers. That number has now grown to 27.
Our volunteers range in age from 17 to 67, and come from all walks of life. We number amongst our volunteers policemen, local shopkeepers and teachers, many of whom didn't have a connection with the sea before they started. However they all have a common purpose in volunteering their time to help save lives, and a shared level of training and professionalism, to ensure that they are properly equipped to do so.
Having outgrown the station at the eastern end of the town and needing space for the new Atlantic 75, the present station was built at the western end of the town in the new marina. At the same time, the first our our two floating boathouses was built and installed at our current home in Burnham yacht Harbour to house what was at that time an Atlantic 21. A second floating boathouse was built and installed in 2002, to house our D Class ILB. These floating boathouses became operational in late 1996, along with a shoreside admin, workshop and training centre, which was funded entirely by local donations.
When the station first became operational in 1966, we had just 4 volunteers. That number has now grown to 27. Our volunteers range in age from 17 to 67, and come from all walks of life.

CEO 76-214 -- December 16, 1976
MEMBER OF CITY PLANNING COMMISSION TESTIFYING IN CONDEMNATION PROCEEDING
To: (Name withheld at the person's request.)
Prepared by: Roger Merriam
No prohibited conflict of interest exists where a member of a municipal planning commission testifies as an expert witness in his private capacity as a real estate appraiser on behalf of a landowner in an eminent domain proceeding to which the municipality is a party. A public officer is prohibited from having a contractual relationship with any business entity which is regulated by or does business with his public agency and from having such relationship which would either create a continuing or frequently recurring conflict between his public and private interests or impede the discharge of his public duties. Section 112.313(7), F. S. 1975. As the commissioner's public agency is the planning commission, rather than the city, his agency is not the landowner's adversary in the condemnation proceeding. Accordingly, it cannot be said that he has a contractual relationship with one doing business with his agency. Nor does the planning commission regulate the average landowner within the contemplation of s. 112.313(7). See CEO 76-143. As the planning commission has no responsibilities with regard to eminent domain proceedings, neither is there a recurring conflict nor one which would interfere with the discharge of the officer's public duties.
Would a prohibited conflict of interest be created were I, a member of the city planning commission, to testify as an expert witness in my private capacity as a real estate appraiser on behalf of a landowner in an eminent domain proceeding to which my city is a party?
Your question is answered in the negative.
You state in your letter of inquiry that you are a professional real estate appraiser and a member of your city's planning commission. The city attorney has advised our staff that the planning commission has no responsibilities with regard to eminent domain matters.
The Code of Ethics for Public Officers and Employees provides in relevant part as follows:
CONFLICTING EMPLOYMENT OR CONTRACTUAL RELATIONSHIP. -- No public officer or employee of an agency shall have or hold any employment or contractual relationship with any business entity or any agency which is subject to the regulation of, or is doing business with, an agency of which he is an officer or employee . . . ; nor shall an officer or employee of an agency have or hold any employment or contractual relationship that will create a continuing or frequently recurring conflict between his private interests and the performance of his public duties or that would impede the full and faithful discharge of his public duties. [Section 112.313(7)(a), F. S. 1975.]
The first clause of the above-quoted statute prohibits a public officer from having a contractual relationship with any business entity which is regulated by or does business with his public agency, while the second clause prohibits him from having such relationship which would either create a continuing or frequently recurring conflict between his public and private interests or impede the discharge of his public duties.
As the term "agency" is defined by s. 112.312(2) to include any commission of a municipality, your agency is the city planning commission. It is the city rather than the planning commission, however, which is the landowner's adversary in the condemnation proceeding. Accordingly, it cannot be said that you have a contractual relationship with one doing business with your agency. Nor do we believe that the planning commission regulates the average landowner within the contemplation of subsection (7). See CEO 76-143. As the planning commission has no responsibilities with regard to eminent domain proceedings, we perceive neither a recurring conflict nor one which would interfere with the discharge of your public duties.
In summary, no prohibited conflict of interest is created where you, a member of the city planning commission, privately testify on behalf of a landowner in an eminent domain proceeding brought by the city.

Q: Tkinter Function I am new to programming and just started learning python and Tkinter.
Since I am more of a visual and try and error learner I made a personal project which is a Scoreboard.
I created the interface and know that i need to change the label textvariables.
The problem where I am stuck is that I just cant get to understand how to get numbers that appear above the ok btn to display final score and clear once the ok btn is pressed. Another problem thatI have is that when the - btn is choosen how do I put the - before the int even though it is pressed after a number has been inserted and then subtracted from final score. I know code is a bit rough and could def be done better, but i repeat it is a 1st personal project.
Thank You

Monday 2nd May 2005
Bishopbriggs
Reid was strolling along the sixth fairway of the golf course which was situated nearest to his operational HQ—The Saracen's Head bar. His opponent was 'Lethal' Bob Lalonde, one of the best hitmen in the UK. It was frustrating for the crime boss that the hitman was as accurate with a golf club as he was with a rifle. The pair stopped when they reached Reid's ball on the fairway.
"Bob, I heard you don't have any qualms about topping a woman."
"I plugged a female police inspector three days ago down in London. I don't give a fuck. As long as the money is good, the job will be done."
"I haven't set eyes on this vigilante. Apparently, she's nice-looking, but fucking deadly."
"George, I didn't come up here to take her out for a drink—I came up to take her out; permanently."
Both men turned when a man ran down the fairway towards them.
"Who the fuck is that?" Lalonde reached down into his golf trolley and started to bring out a gun.
"He's one of mine," Reid said and nodded for the hitman and the two caddies to relax. "Hey, Ned," he called to the running man. "Calm down, mate. What's the panic?"
Ned was in his mid-thirties, but he was overweight and unfit. "A motorbike—" He leant forward with his hands on his knees, breathing as if he'd just completed a marathon instead of running a few hundred yards. "A motorbike pulled up … into the car park … about … half an hour ago."
Lalonde looked from the messenger to his opponent in the game. "I know I'm not in Glasgow much these days, George, but is a fucking motorbike in a carpark so unusual?" He laughed.
The out of shape messenger glared at the visitor and turned to Reid, opening his right hand to give his boss something. "One of the guys in the clubhouse came out a short while ago and handed me that fucking card. The biker left it for you."
Reid looked at the purple flowers and the name on the card before he turned it over. "I think the fucking bitch is here, Bob." He lowered the card and looked around. Like any golf course, there were trees, bushes, and a variety of contours. Reid licked his lips as he looked at the distant boundaries and the high hedgerows surrounding the course.
"Give me a look at that fucking thing." The hitman took the card and read the front. "Atropa Belladonna—very fucking poetic." He turned the card over to read the message. "This is a warning." Lalonde turned to his temporary employer and shook his head. "Are you telling me that you guys are afraid of this bullshit—she's a fucking dead woman walking."
"Bob, trust me … she is sending a serious message."
"I'll be sending her a fucking serious message—from a rifle barrel." Lalonde made a show of looking around the vast expanse of the golf course as he held up the calling card and tore it in half. "Come on out, you little slut." He held the two torn halves together and started to tear them in half, but following a sharp crack in the air, a hole appeared in Lalonde's forehead, and his body crumpled to land on the fairway. The pieces of the torn card floated down and fell on the dead hitman.
Reid, Ned, and the two caddies all hit the deck in a race to get below the grass. They lay flat and for a few minutes; silent.
"Boss … what do we fucking do … now?" Ned was still catching his breath.
"Shut up, Ned, for fuck's sake. Give me time to think."
Three hundred yards away, two women were lying under a bush on the southern boundary of the golf course.
Rachel resisted the temptation to say, 'Hole in One'. She lowered her binoculars. "You've successfully initiated our new campaign, Dominique."
The auburn-haired woman applied the safety on her rifle. "Thank you." She shed no tears—no regrets about ending the life of the man on the fairway. He was no longer a concern, or a killer.
The two operatives slid backwards out of position, packed away their equipment and then uncovered their machines. They continued to chat as they changed into leathers and packed away their camouflage outfits, ready to ride back to Pitlochry.
"Tomorrow," Rachel said. "We'll look at the house in Perth that you'd like to buy and convert, and next week we go to Stirling."
"Have we got the building we wanted?"
"Yes, it's a self-contained unit and sits in a small trading estate just north of Stirling Castle. The motorway system is two minutes away, and all that remains is for us to meet the contractors and confirm the requirements for our new organisation—ATTACS."
Dominique laughed. "Go on—I have to hear what it stands for."
"Alternative Training, Tasking And Consultation Services." Rachel pulled on her helmet.
"When will I get to meet the rest of our team?" Dominique adjusted her helmet and lifted her gloves.
"In early August, if all goes well during their initial training." Rachel pulled on her gloves and mounted her bike.
"Do you think I'll be deep enough into my new role by then?" Dominique raised her shapely eyebrows hopefully.
"Yes, you will—today was a big step in the right direction." Rachel dropped her visor, revved her bike and pulled away. As the pair cruised along a narrow path to the nearest main road, Rachel recalled a piece of advice given by Annabel in 1996:
'However, you feel inside; you must deceive others—be in character.'
Rachel had worked hard to apply this theory, but no longer had to deceive anybody—she was the best. Rachel was Nightshade. Dominique would be Foxglove.

Syrian Rebels Advance Against Daesh Near Turkish Border
AMMAN, April 5 – Syrian rebels were closing in on a town near the Turkish border held by Daesh on Tuesday after seizing numerous villages from the group in the area, rebels and the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
The rebels involved in the offensive include factions fighting under the banner of the Free Syrian Army that have been supplied with weapons via Turkey. They are advancing towards the IS-held town of Al Rai.
A sustained rebel advance near the Turkish border would erode Daesh's last foothold in an area identified by the United States as a priority in the fight against the group.
Rebels who have previously struggled to make sustained gains against IS in the area have mobilized several thousand fighters for the attack, rebel sources said. An alliance of rebel groups formed for the offensive includes the Turkish-backed Sultan Murad and Failaq Al Sham groups.
"The battles are continuing … we have been able to liberate several villages very quickly from the Daesh gangs and God willing will cleanse northern Aleppo," said Abu Yasser, a commander with Failaq Al Sham group, speaking to Reuters.
The Observatory said the rebel groups had seized at least 16 villages in an area held by Daesh for nearly two years.
Daesh's foothold at the Turkish border was significantly reduced last year by U.S.-allied Kurdish fighters of the YPG, which gained territory from the group further east.
The YPG and rebels are however locked in their own conflict, notably near the city of Aleppo. Turkey, a major sponsor of groups fighting to topple President Bashar Al Assad, has been alarmed by YPG gains near the frontier with Syria.

The 2011 South Korean football betting scandal involved South Korea's top professional football leagues, K-League. In mid-2011, South Korean association football, especially K-League, was overshadowed by the discovery of match fixing scandal among the players, brokers such as gangsters and coaches in K-League.

Background
After an arrest warrant was issued for two football players on 25 May 2011 by the Supreme Prosecutors' Office, the K-League's match-fixing case began to surface. The prosecutors arrested two brokers and are investigating 10 players, including Sangju Sangmu Phoenix's striker and former national team member Kim Dong-hyun.

STROMDAO developed an electricity tariff with a loyalty program allowing every electricity customer to do micro investments into renewable energy generation facilities (REGF). Primary purpose of Corrently Invest Token (CORI) is a profit distribution coming out of those micro investments. CORI shareholders get their energy bills deducted by the shared profit automatically. Shareholders without an electricity tariff could request a fiat currency payout monthly by filing an invoice to STROMDAO not later than 60 days after end of month (disagio, tax and handling apply).
Each Corrently represents one kilowatt-hour of consumed electricity. As consumption behaviors differ the amount of Corrently´s collected during a month is different as well. A single-family household with 3 persons for example might consume around 200 kWh of electricity and therefore collect 200 corrently´s per month. These Corrently´s can then be spent to purchase CORI Invest Tokens which in turn grants a shared profit of the REGF´s profit. The micro investment mechanism works directly off the customers electricity bill. The CORI Tokens are native assets backed tokens which are based on the ERC 20 Token Standard. That means that they are compatible with the Ethereum Blockchain. However, as the public Ethereum Blockchain is not yet suited to handle small scale and high-volume energy transactions STROMDAO developed the Fury Network – an open-source, Ethereum based blockchain specially designed for energy market needs.
In contrast to platform approaches (e.g. putting a wind-mill on a platform and granting the members of the platform a share of the wind-mills profits) STROMDAO does not act as a man in the middle. Yes, the REGF´s are selected by us and yes we decide the amount of CORI tokens which are equivalent to the REGF´s value. But once you buy CORI´s you are the owner. So, we cannot revoke your access, your ownership and therefore your profit claim. We are no middle man because blockchain technology enables you to create your own energy generation portfolio.
And that is the reason why we established Corrently. We believe in the potential of micro-investments for renewable energy, and that through its application, customers may find an easy and efficient way of to contribute into a sustainable power supply.
Our vision at STROMDAO is to allow asset owners to fund their activities as simply and securely as possible by utilizing digital currencies for project development. While at the same time enable electricity customers to gradually become energy prosumers simply by paying their bill and returning their Corrently´s into CORI Tokens.
Corrently Invest Token (CORI) has no bounties.
