La mât de télévision de Vinnytsia est un haut mât haubané de 354 mètres en tube d'acier, utilisé comme émetteur pour la bande FM et pour la télévision, situé en Podolie (Ukraine). Une particularité de sa structure est qu'elle est constituée de trois traverses disposées en angles de 120 degrés en deux niveaux, allant de sa structure aux filins. Il a été construit en 1961.

Du fait de la réduction de la hauteur de l'émetteur de Belmont, elle pourrait être le deuxième plus grand mât haubané en tubes d'acier dans le monde après la Torreta de Guardamar située à Guardamar del Segura.

On Wednesday, March 13th, 2019, a pharmaceutical brand and CUMULUS MEDIA partnered on a nationwide "takeover" of a four hour time period on 173 stations across 77 markets. The only advertising sponsor for this takeover, which aired 10AM to 2PM, was the pharmaceutical brand, running their ad 2 times per hour.
This ad had also been running on network radio since January 2017. The ad explains a specific disease state and drives listeners to an educational website.
To quantify the effect of the March 13th campaign, CUMULUS MEDIA retained MARU/Matchbox to survey consumers on awareness and recall for the AM/FM radio advertising. 698 consumers were surveyed from March 18th through March 25th, 2019 in markets where the campaign aired.
Here's what we found:
Older demographics and women were most likely to recall the website mentioned in the ad. 32% of Boomers 55+ could recall the URL promoted in the pharmaceutical ad, higher than the 28% average. 30% of women could recall the website.
The website address was only mentioned in the creative once. The best practice for brands? Mention website addresses or important information early and often for better response.
17% of heavy AM/FM radio listeners recalled the pharmaceutical brand's campaign, 2X greater than the average. Heavy AM/FM radio listeners were twice as likely to recall the campaign compared to the 8% average. Heavy AM/FM radio listeners were also more likely to recall the ad than heavy TV viewers (9%).
When played the commercial, nearly one-third of heavy AM/FM radio listeners could recall the ad, +72% greater than the average. After being played the commercial, a higher percentage of heavy AM/FM radio listeners could recall that they had heard the ad compared to the average (18%) and heavy TV viewers (18%).
Heavy AM/FM radio listeners were more likely to take action after hearing the ad. Compared to the average and heavy TV viewers, heavy AM/FM radio listeners who were exposed to the ad were more likely to take action. 23% of heavy AM/FM radio listeners were somewhat likely or very likely to visit the pharmaceutical brand's website. 27% would recommend the product and 23% would talk to someone about it.
Radio makes your pharmaceutical TV campaign better: Moving 20% of a massive TV budget to AM/FM radio causes a +22% lift in campaign reach. In another pharmaceutical brand case study, a brand spent $24 million dollars in August 2018 on network television. Pharmaceutical brands are heavy users of TV as television does a fantastic job of delivering lots of older Americans.
The TV investment yielded a strong 77% reach of the adult 35+ demographic. With such a big TV budget and such impressive reach is it even possible that the addition of AM/FM radio could generate any incremental reach? The answer is yes.
Using Nielsen's recently enhanced Nielsen Media Impact, the industry-leading cross-platform media planning solution, the reach lift of adding AM/FM radio to the TV plan could be quantified.
A reallocation of 20% of the TV budget into AM/FM radio causes reach to jump from 77% of adults 35+ to 94%! That's a +22% increase in reach for the same budget!
American AM/FM radio is being rediscovered by big brands. After decades of inactivity, Procter & Gamble is now the fastest growing advertiser on U.S. AM/FM radio as a result of digital fraud and eroding TV audiences.
Pharmaceutical brands can generate significant reach, brand equity growth, and sales lift by adding AM/FM radio to the media plan.

Summer Edward - The Wonder of the World Leaf
Interview with author Summer Edward
by Lisa Stringfellow
KidLit in Color welcomes author Summer Edward to our blog to discuss her picture storybook, The Wonder of the World Leaf, a heartfelt story that also reflects the rich, vibrant culture of the Caribbean.
Would you please give our readers a brief summary of your picture storybook?
Eight years ago, when I was battling an illness, this young girl appeared in my mind. Her name was Wygenia and she kept hanging around, so I paid attention to her and it turned out that she was sad because someone she loved was ill. I felt that Wygenia needed something in order to help the person she loved, but I didn't know what.
At the time, I took an extended trip back to Trinidad where I grew up, and my mother took me to this wonderful wellness center on the island where I saw a naturopathic doctor and master herbalist. My visits to the wellness center inspired me to start learning more about the island's medicinal plants, and when I read about the medicinal uses of Wonder of the World leaves, I suddenly knew what Wygenia needed—a leaf. Not a fig leaf of shame, or a four-leaf clover of luck, but a wondrous leaf of possibility.
I started to write and as I followed Wygenia through the story, I discovered that she also needed the presence and help of people who cared for her. That's my long-winded way of telling you how The Wonder of the World Leaf ended up being the story of a young Trinidadian girl who, with the loving support of her community, grows a Wonder of the World plant, and uses the leaves to help her beloved grandmother recover from illness.
Is your picture storybook based on any real experiences?
My own experiences using traditional healing practices showed me the importance of tending to the human being in the same fashion that a gardener tends to her plants. Any gardener will tell you that there are many variables involved in plant care. Likewise, at the wellness center I visited, they give weight to the idea that the social, cultural, emotional and moral roots of illness must be treated, along with the physical symptoms. It's the responsibility of the community to address all of these variables so that the sick person can flourish again. I wrote what I learned about, and experienced with, traditional healing practices into The Wonder of the World Leaf, which is on a surface level, a story about plants and gardening.
In her determination to help her Grannie, Wygenia turns to the traditional healing practices of Trinidadian people, and she, her friends and family tend to the things that truly matter. In doing so, lots of good things sprout in their collective lives.
In the book, Wygenia is part of a vibrant island community. Can you share more about the relationships she has?
Wygenia, like many Caribbean children, has a strong bond with her grandparents. One of her grandfathers has recently died at the beginning of the story, and although it's left unsaid, one can imagine that his death is partly what fuels Wygenia's resolve to help her grandmother heal. Wygenia's classmate, Sanjay, who also happens to be her next-door neighbor, and Sanjay's aja ('aja' is a Trinidadian Hindustani word that means 'grandfather') are also significant people in Wygenia's life. They share in Wygenia's concern for her grandmother and play important roles in the old woman's convalescence. There are other community members in the story whose succor and goodwill provide a buffer for Wygenia and her family during their time of difficulty.
Wygenia's faith is also a kind of relationship. She's in a relationship of trust with something bigger than herself. Whatever that 'something' is, it keeps her hoping and believing that her grandmother can get better.
Your book includes many Trinidadian words and phrases. Talk to us about the importance of language and dialect in your story.
Writing in a blend of Trinidadian English and British English is natural for me; I don't really see it as a choice. I grew up speaking Trinidadian English at home and with my friends, but I was educated largely in British English. I've taken ownership of both varieties of English and see them both as equally belonging to me. I still speak both, which is something that's rooted in the Trinbagonian experience. The language in The Wonder of the World Leaf is a reflection of that, which is what makes the story authentic.
There are some things that can't be sufficiently expressed in British English, and so for the characters in the story, Trinidadian English is the language of emotions, humor, intimacy, national identity, and cultural solidarity.
By the way, because I moved to the U.S. as a teen, I also speak American English, so constantly negotiating three languages is my jam.
You're also an editor. How has that influenced your work?
Editing children's books and short stories for children is something I've been doing since 2011. I currently work as a children's fiction editor at Heinemann. A literary agent once advised that I should either give up writing or editing because I couldn't do both simultaneously. I've learned to distrust that idea.
Before I started editing, I read voraciously but more narrowly. As an editor, one is forced to read very broadly, to engage deeply and seriously with all kinds of stories that lie beyond one's usual tastes and predilections. Also, when you're an editor, reading stories is your job; there are no lulls in your reading life; an on-again, off-again relationship with literature isn't an option. There's also no respite from the difficult work of wrangling with words, or to be frank, from wrangling with one's ego. As an editor, one's ego is constantly being tamped down and held in check by the nature of the job. Also, an editor doesn't have the writer's luxury of procrastination and creative resistance. All of this has made me a better writer. The best way to explain it is that working as an editor is like taking a never-ending intensive in writerly discipline.
What do you hope readers learn or take away from The Wonder of the World Leaf?
The reason I write anything is so that readers feel heard and seen.
In the Western world, there's social stigma derived from both popular and medical views of illness. Illness is something to be feared, something to be dealt with privately and individualistically, something fraught with shame, something that people feel uncomfortable talking about. That's why in Western societies, so many ill people tell stories of friends and even family abandoning them at precisely the time when they need community the most. I hope that the way Wygenia deals with her grandmother's illness helps readers realize that there is another, much better way.
When it comes to living a healthy life, often the old ways are the best ways. Gathering with friends and family, telling stories, laughing together, sharing a meal, simply listening to another human being, sitting in silence, planting a garden, connecting with nature…all of that simple stuff really works. They're the remedy for all the loneliness, pain and sadness out there. Simple human interactions, in which you merely give another person the gift of your presence, are what keep people healthy, and what sick people in particular are desperately in need of. A seven-year-old who reads the book already knows this, but capturing it in a story is my way of making sure they never forget.
Sayada Ramdial created the illustrations for The Wonder of the World Leaf and she did a wonderful job. Sayada is a fellow Trinidadian-American, and I think our collaboration has enabled the telling of a truly Trinidadian story that's also universal, one that I hope readers everywhere enjoy reading.
Summer Edward is a Ginkgo Prize longlisted author who writes for all ages. Her children's book debut, The Wonder of the World Leaf, was recently published by HarperCollins UK. She has six more children's books forthcoming, to be published by Heinemann (USA) in summer 2021 and spring 2022. She created Anansesem, an online magazine covering Caribbean literature for young readers, which was published for a decade. When she is not writing, she works as a children's fiction editor at Heinemann and reviews children's and young adult books for The Horn Book Magazine. Born in the Caribbean island of Trinidad, she grew up in Trinidad and Philadelphia, and currently divides her time between the U.S. and Trinidad. Learn more at her website: www.summeredward.com
Great interview! I look forward to reading this book.

Notorious B.I.G. Wrongful Death Lawsuit Dismissed
by AFRO Staff April 24, 2010 January 25, 2022
A wrongful death lawsuit against the city of Los Angeles over the fatal shooting of Notorious B.I.G. has been dismissed, although it is likely to not be the last legal word in the rapper's death, the Associated Press reported. The suit alleges the Los Angeles Police Department was involved in the killing of the rapper.
According to Bradley C. Gage, an attorney for the rapper's estate, the dismissal of the suit could allow investigators to make arrests in B.I.G.'s 1997 death. The case was dismissed April 5 after the city and attorneys for the estate agreed it could be refiled at a later date.
B.I.G., whose real name was Christopher Wallace, was at a high point in his career when he was gunned down in March 1997 following a party at a Los Angeles museum.
According to City attorney spokesman Frank Mateljan, a police investigation into Wallace's murder is ongoing.
The suit was first filed in 2002. In 2005, a federal judge declared a mistrial after Wallace's attorneys discovered the City concealed a trove of LAPD documents. A judge ordered the City to pay over $1 million in sanctions.
Gage says he still doesn't have access to some records due to ongoing investigations.
The case's dismissal gives authorities time to investigate the killing without having to worry whether their agency will be found liable at a trial, Gage said. While he declined to tell the AP who he believed was involved in Wallace's death, he said he had some pretty strong suspicions. "I believe our civil lawsuit was going on the right path," Gage told the AP.
The suit alleged that former LAPD officers and Death Row Records founder Marion "Suge" Knight were involved in Wallace's death. The former officers were also involved in Los Angeles' Rampart division scandal, which exposed police corruption.
Wallace's mother, Voletta, and widow, R&B singer Faith Evans, originally brought the lawsuit. Gage said for the family, the case isn't about winning money, but finding the truth. "I think that the family is interested in justice," Gage told the AP. "They want to find the killer or killers and have those people put behind bars. That can help them put this tragic situation behind them."
At the time of Wallace's death he was immensely popular. Gage said he was likely to earn hundreds of millions of dollars over his lifetime, money that could be recouped in a wrongful death suit.
"I think that this in an important case," Gage told the AP. "It's important because it can help protect society. It's important to show areas where the police department would seem to have failed some of its obligations to its citizens."

It is a turbulent time for baseball and all sports fans alike. This week, we wanted to provide an update on one of our alums that earned an invite to big league camp in our Express Alumni Update presented by Lakeland University.
A few weeks ago we profiled and provided updates for our alumni that were a part of MLB Spring Training. Guys like Jordan Zimmermann, Kole Calhoun, Nate Orf, and the most recent Alum to make his MLB debut, Sam Haggerty. We also looked at guys there that are non-roster invitees. Players like Daulton Varsho, Austin Listi and Brian Mundell. Among those players was 2015 Express Alum Griffin Jax.
Jax, a right-handed pitcher in the Minnesota Twins organization played his college ball for Air Force where he earned numerous Mountain West conference awards including 2016 Co-pitcher of the year, 2016 All-MW First Team, and was named to the Academic All-Mountain West team. In his career at Air Force, Jax started 44 of his 46 appearances, won 15 games, including a 9-win season in 2016, and held a career ERA of 4.28, with a 2016 ERA of 2.05. Last summer Jax was named Air Force Male Athlete of the Year.
Jax played sparingly with the Express in 2015, making three starts to begin the season. In his three appearances, the Express won all of their games, and Jax pitched six innings or more. The Colorado native earned his only win of the season in a six-inning, five strikeout outing against Thunder Bay in which Eau Claire won 10-5.
Jax was drafted by the Twins in the third round of the 2016 MLB draft. Working his way through the minors, Jax was elevated to AAA Rochester in 2019 and had a breakout season. With the Pensacola Blue Wahoos Jax was named Pitcher of the Week twice and was also named a 2019 Mid-Season All-Star. Jax's performances and his five-win season in the minors in 2019 warranted an invitation to Twins Spring Training as a non-roster invitee.
With the beginning of the 2020 MLB season delayed and the remainder of Spring Training games canceled, we now have to wait to see what the future has in store for this talented Express alum.
Keep a lookout all off-season for more alumni updates presented by Lakeland University. At Lakeland University you'll find unique 14-week BlendEd courses that allow you to complete coursework either online or in class from week to week depending on your location, schedule, and other life commitments allowing you to choose the format that works best for you.
The Eau Claire Express are a member of the finest developmental league for elite college baseball players, the Northwoods League. The Northwoods League is the proven leader in the development of elite college baseball players. Having completed its' 26th season, the Northwoods League is the largest organized baseball league in the world with 22 teams, drawing significantly more fans, in a friendly ballpark experience, than any league of its kind.

New Photos of Shackleton's Antarctic Expedition Are Hauntingly Beautiful
The Royal Geographical Society has restored early 20th century photographs from Shackleton's ruined expedition to Antarctica, and they are absolutely stunning.
By Jay Bennett
Royal Geographical Society/Institute of British Geographers
Starting in 1914, Sir Ernest Henry Shackleton led his third expedition to Antarctica with hopes of making the first land crossing of the continent. However, Shackleton's ship Endurance was trapped in the ice of the Antarctic seas before he could begin his crossing. Though the ship was lost, photographer Frank Hurley managed to save his camera equipment and documented the crew's 17-month struggle to survive.
Shackleton and his crew got trapped in the ice floes of the Weddell Sea before they could reach Vahsel bay, where they intended to disembark and continue over land. Endurance drifted north, stuck in the pack ice, until the hull eventually breached and the ship sank, leaving 28 men stranded on the ice. In an infamous demonstration of fortitude and resilience—one that proves men were much more thick-skinned just a century ago—Shackleton and his crew made a mad dash to uninhabited Elephant Island at the edge of Antarctica. The captain and five others then sailed 800 miles in one of the small lifeboats to the South Georgia Island, where they secured a rescue ship to return to Elephant Island. No member of Shackleton's crew perished.
All the while, Hurley lugged his heavy photography equipment along, including barrels of developing fluid and glass plate negatives. At one point, the devoted photographer even dumped food out of his lifeboat to decrease weight rather than abandon his equipment. With an early 20th century camera, Hurley used the light of flares to capture the ship and crew in the dark of night.
Now, for the first time, Hurley's enthralling photos have been digitally restored by the British Geographical Society. The restored photographs show the crew's epic struggle to survive more clearly than ever.
The Royal Geographic Society is currently displaying the photos in a free exhibition in London that will continue until February 28.

Hualien City is a county-controlled unit and a seat of the Hualien County in Taiwan. It has its location on the eastern coast of the country right there on the Pacific Ocean. A beautiful city with modern infrastructure and development, there are plenty of opportunities of expatriates and returning citizens apart from good academic facilities for students. That is one of the reasons that it is a hot spot for professionals and students.
Learn more about shipping to Taiwan.
Additionally, if your vehicle is above US$20,000 then you will need a special permit from Bureau of Foreign Trade, before you can ship your vehicle out of USA.
As you can see, there are quite a few taxes that you have to account for which is definitely something to be taken into proper consideration. If you work with a reliable shipping service, this could guarantee that you don't pay additional and extra costs. A-1 Auto Transport can make this happen without any significant hassle. To get the latest updates on the current import laws, you can contact the Embassy of Taiwan.
Of course, you also have to account for the methods of transportation as they are going to determine the overall value of the service. With this in mind, the first one that you can rely on is RORO.
This stands for Roll on/Roll off and it's something particularly convenient if you are looking for a cost-effective shipping method. It's going to leave your car wide open to the elements but it's cheap in return. You won't be able to bring any kind of personal belongings as well. The other option in front of you is Container shipping which is more expensive but more reliable, you get a private container for your vehicle and you can ship as many personal belongings with it as you want.


"My mom would make this when I was young, and it was always a favorite. Serve with a crisp green salad and garlic bread."
Brush about 2 tablespoons olive oil onto eggplant slices; arrange in a single layer in a shallow baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven until eggplant is tender and browned, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove eggplant from oven and reduce temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat; cook and stir onion, mushrooms, and garlic until onion is softened, 5 to 10 minutes. Add tomato sauce, basil, and oregano; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until sauce is slightly reduced, about 10 minutes; season with salt and pepper.
Arrange about 1/2 the eggplant slices in a 2-quart casserole dish; top with 1/2 the sauce, 1/2 the mozzarella cheese, and 1/2 the Parmesan cheese. Repeat layering with the remaining ingredients.
A delicious eggplant casserole with way fewer calories than most.
It was okay. Too bland for my liking I would suggest adding more of your favorite Italian spices.
Like it alot but if you do the salting to draw out moisture, make sure you rinse VERY WELL. Tad salty because I didn't rinse well enough. Next time I'll get it right.
Excellent. Best way iv ever ate eggplant...making this one again!!
This was excellent! A great main dish that fills you up and has minimal calories and carbs--perfect for my weight reduction goal. I made it just as described, no deviations. Thanks!
Excellent! Will definitely make this again! It was effortless, tasted great - compliments all around!

RS Charts: DaBaby's 'Intro' Climbs to Number One
Kevin Gates also launches multiple songs on to the latest RS 100
DaBaby's "Intro" earned more than 20 million streams.
Aaron J. Thornton/WireImage
Songs from DaBaby's Kirk flooded the RS 100 this week. "Intro" took the top spot with 20.4 million streams, beating Post Malone's multi-week Number One "Circles" by a narrow margin. In total, DaBaby placed four Kirk songs in the Top 10 and 13 tracks in the Top 40, an impressive showing for an artist who didn't have a national hit a year ago.
The other major winner on this week's RS 100 was the rapper Kevin Gates, who returned with I'm Him, his first official album since January of 2016. Gates lobbed six new songs on to the RS 100. The leader was "By My Lonely," which earned 7.6 million streams, good for a Number 40 debut.
The Rolling Stone Top 100 chart tracks the most popular songs of the week in the United States. Songs are ranked by song units, a number that combines audio streams and song sales using a custom weighting system. The chart does not include passive listening like terrestrial radio or digital radio. The Rolling Stone Top 100 chart is updated daily, and each week Rolling Stone finalizes and publishes an official version of the chart, covering the seven-day period ending with the previous Thursday.
While no one came close to DaBaby's chart dominance this week, a few other artists did manage to crack the RS 100. Rvssian, an ace producer with a long history in dancehall and Latin music, entered the chart at Number 45 thanks to "Writing on the Wall," a collaboration with French Montana. Diplo and the Jonas Brothers also clocked in at Number 89 with their song "Lonely."

This is a question that we very often ask.
The Apostle Paul taught us that as individuals who are rich, we ought to be able to give. In fact, we do not just give, but give generously.
Giving may be easy for some of us. We have the means and so when the opportunity arise, we give.
It is always easy to do it when one has the means. But what about those who do not have the means? They are already finding it hard to have enough for themselves, let alone with others.
While that may be true for some, let it be known that even some who are rich also sometimes find it difficult to give, let alone do it generously.
The fundamental thing in common for those who give generously whether when they have the means or not is their mind-set.
If one has an abundant mind-set, it is always easy to give. If one has a scarcity mind-set, it's always difficult to give, no matter what the circumstances are.
But some of you might be asking, but I do not have much of anything, what can I give? Or some might even say, I haven't received anything, so why should I give?
I once had an associate who balk at the idea that we did some form of pro-bono work for schools. His idea was, wouldn't people take advantage of it? When we finally evaluated the number of people who took advantage of it; it totalled 2. But when we counted the number of schools who not only signed us up, but even referred us, it was in the hundreds.
Of course what you offer should be of value. It must be good.
Application: what do you have that is of value to others? How can you offer it to help others ease their pains? Can you give it away generously? How would you do it?
Father, thank You for Your generous love and gift. May we learn Your generous ways to give and to give cheerfully. In Jesus name, Amen.
Are You ABC (aimless, bored, and comfortable)?

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton says the repressive actions by the Iranian regime "obviously contradict recent claims made at the United Nations that Iranians enjoy the right of free expression and no one is imprisoned for political reasons:"
"The mounting evidence of repression against anyone who questions Iranian government decisions or advocates for transparency, or even attempt to defend political prisoners, is very troubling."
Among the Iranians who have lately received exorbitant prison terms for their peaceful dissent is student leader Majid Tavakoli, whose eight and a half year sentence was confirmed in September and prominent journalist and free press advocate Isa Saharkhiz, sentenced 3 years on charges of insulting the Supreme Leader and spreading propaganda against the regime. Emadeddin Baghi, a writer and human rights activist, was given a 6 year prison term in September. Canadian-Iranian blogger Hossein Derakhshan was sentenced to 19 years in prison after having already spent 2 years in detention. These are but a few examples of the steady deterioration of human rights in Iran.
Secretary Clinton, citing the arbitrary arrests, beatings, torture, rape and murder of Iranian citizens since the disputed presidential election in June 2009, announced that President Barack Obama has signed an executive order imposing financial sanctions on 8 Iranian officials complicit in these abuses:
"In doing so today, we declare our solidarity with their victims and with all Iranians who wish for a government that respects their human rights and their dignity and their freedom. By doing so we convey our strong support for the rule of law, and we speak out for those unable to speak for themselves because they are jailed or frightened or fear retribution against themselves or their families."
Secretary of State Clinton echoed President Obama's clear message, stating that the U.S. "will call out those who suppress ideas ... and ... will hold abusive governments and individuals accountable for their actions."

What Gets Me Going: Tammy Swift
Published by Kimberly Pigeon at May 16, 2013

what gets me going
For the latest in our community profile series, What Gets Me Going, we turned to the irresistible Tammy Swift. You probably know Tammy from her 20 years as a reporter for the Forum, where her warmly quirky sense of humor shone through in her frequent columns and commentary. A year ago, Tammy made "a pretty dramatic career change," heading over to Kilbourne Group ("it's never called THE Kilbourne Group. That's one of the first lessons I learned!") where she became the social media marketing manager and, in addition to learning the ins and outs of marketing and real estate, continues to sparkle through Kilbourne's blog posts and Facebook.
Recently, Tammy tied for first in the feature-writing category in a North Dakota Newspaper Association contest for a piece she wrote at the Forum last spring about a local family whose grandfather perished on the Titanic. "I was thrilled that the win was for a long, meaty, historical story instead of some BuzzFeed-type blurb on a baby squirrel who has learned to ride a cat. It gave me hope that research and reporting still matter," she said. With an attitude like that, we're more than thrilled to get to know Tammy through the books, movies, and music she loves best.
What book, music, movie, or artwork really gets you going? Why?
Truman Capote's In Cold Blood always impressed me. It was my first exposure to creative non-fiction and I loved how he made an all-too-true story come alive. Each page is packed with observational detail, background and amazing characterization. That was the first time it occurred to me that I could break away from the dry, rigid "quote/transition" approach of traditional journalism.
My favorite movies are classics. I love The Graduate not only because it still seems smart and funny, but also because it is like a perfect time capsule of an upper-middle-class family in 1967.
And I would put an appendectomy on hold if they were showing Sunset Boulevard in my hospital room. It's so sly and cynical and deftly written. And Gloria Swanson is unbelievable. I love any movie that showcases an over-the-top, all-uppercase STAR like Bette Davis. I recently watched Three Comrades, starring Margaret Sullavan. She wore full glamour makeup the entire time that she was supposedly dying of tuberculosis. It was awesome. Even Lifetime movies are more realistic than that.
What artist, musician, etc., inspires you the most? Why?
I love Nina Simone. Something in her voice just transports me. Back in the '90s, my former Forum co-worker, Ross Raihala, made me a mix tape – that's right, a cassette tape – of torch songs, which prominently featured Nina. I listened to that tape until it disintegrated.
As a former humor columnist, I am inspired by all sorts of funny writers, including David Sedaris, Erma Bombeck and Tina Fey.
What's something you saw or heard recently that you would recommend to others?
Crazy Love. It's a documentary about a deranged young lawyer who became obsessed with a beautiful young woman in the 1950s and eventually decided to do something horrific to her. Believe it or not, that's not the crazy part. The REALLY insane part happens years later.
I just finished reading Let Your Life Speak by Parker J. Palmer. It's about truly listening to your inner self when choosing a vocation. Too often, we become what we THINK we should be, or what our parents or peers want us to be.
What local artist, musician, writer, etc., do you admire, and why?
I like Post Traumatic Funk Syndrome a lot, partly because they have a clever name but also because they are awesome musicians. I've always felt like John Lamb at The Forum is a really underrated writer. Yes, I'm biased because we are old friends, but I also like how he tries to look at things in the freshest, most creative, least-hackneyed way. He covers a beat where you essentially have to write the same story over and over – now we'll write about the Spring Gala, now we'll write about Concordia's Christmas concert – yet he somehow finds a way to tell it with a fresh angle.
Oh, and that Kris Kerzman? Brilliant! (Damn right. -ed.)
Any guilty pleasures you'd like to share?
My whole life is a guilty pleasure. I always want to act like I'm reading Tolstoy and will only watch Downton Abbey, when in fact I spend a lot of time watching Project Runway and reading biographies on people like David Lee Roth.

Nekromantik (Jörg Buttgereit, 1987)
Unclean, unclean! My skin is itchy, but I'm afraid to scratch it. Don't look now, but a colony of flaky, dead skin has set up camp behind my right ear and there's nothing I can do about it. Someone help me! Okay, now that I got that out of the way, let's begin to explore the decayed world of Nekromantik in a calm and rational manner, shall we? Is it romantic? Yep. Is it disgusting? You better believe it is; a man ejaculates blood from his penis while stabbing himself in the stomach. Is it beautiful? Oddly, yes. Even though there are times when it mirrors several chapters in my inexplicably unpublished guide on how to be a Skinny Puppy fan in the late 1980s, it does feature moments of that were surprisingly beautiful. Take, for instance, the opening scene where a woman (Simone Spörl) pulls down her floral panties by the side of the road and begins to urinate. At first I thought: nice way to kick off a movie; as in, this is gross. But the longer I stared at her piss as it slowly began to form small pools in the uncut grass around her ankles, the more the image started to appeal to me. I don't know, there was something strangely alluring about the way the moonlight caused her steaming droplets of pee to sparkle like diamonds as it slowly evaporated in the dark. Now that I think about it, you could approach each scene using that mindset. At the beginning, you're horrified by what's transpiring in front of you. But as the horrifying scene in question continues, you gradually become desensitized by its awfulness. Sure, you might not be tempted to plunge your hand down your trousers while watching what the sick twists get up to in this film, but you'll find yourself empathizing with them more than you expected. Which is the point writer-director Jörg Buttgereit was probably trying to make with this ghastly tale of unorthodox love. It doesn't matter what kind of objectionable material we're exposed to, we all end up developing an immunity to it the longer we stare at it.
In order to make my next point, I'd like to quote the principal from Heathers, as I think it sums up how I feel about the film's taboo subject matter perfectly: "I've seen a lot of bullshit... angel dust, switchblades, sexually perverse photography involving tennis rackets..." But as for necrophilia? I'm afraid I'm gonna have to plead ignorance on this one. Don't get me wrong, I find sex with corpses to be abhorrent, but I can sort of see the appeal. Excuse me, but my lawyer has just informed me not to finish that thought, as it might jeopardize my standing within the non-corpse fucking community. And while I dig the whole iconoclast thing I got going on, the non-corpse fucking community is a community I can't afford to alienate, especially if I expect to be the next President of the United States, or hell, even elected to Guelph City Council.
Instead of dancing around the subject of necrophilia, why don't you type some words pertaining to the film's plot? Excellent idea, as it will give the time I need to rehearse my fake outrage.
After the woman is finished peeing by the side of the road, she gets back in the car she was riding in with her male companion. Suddenly, the driver looses control of the vehicle and a loud crashing sound is heard. As night gives way to day, the next image we see is smouldering wreckage strewn across a clearing in the woods. And judging by the way the bloodstained rear view mirror dangled helplessly from the shattered windshield, the chances that anyone survived the accident are pretty slim. As the camera slowly inches its way through the scene, the damage is revealed; the peeing woman is missing her low half (there will be no more urinating in public for this gal), and her male companion is pined to the back seat.
I know what you're thinking: That sounds like one hell of a mess. Well, never fear, Joe's Streetcleaning Agency is here to save the day. A van full of highly trained men in hazmat suits are on their way to collect and bag any body parts you don't want littering the area. Oh, you don't want *any* body parts littering the area. Got it. Anyway, even though I was disturbed by the fact that none of them wore gloves while handling the body parts, the scene is clear of human remains in no time.
You would think that after spending all day knee deep in other people's intestines, the last thing anyone who works for J.S.A. would want to do is to go home and play with their body part collection. But that's exactly what Robert Schmadtke (Bernd Daktari Lorenz) likes to do in his spare time. Nowadays, someone like this would have his own reality show. However, back in the late 1980s, people who licked eyeballs for kicks were shunned by society.
Luckily, this oddball-shunning society is nowhere to be found in Nekromantik, as the world is pretty much reduced to his dilapidated apartment and the various crime and accident scenes where the bodies lie. Behind every deranged eccentric lies a beautiful woman, and in Robert's case, he has the gorgeous Betty (Beatrice Manowski) to share in his morbid lifestyle. I was gonna call it his "morbid hobby," but I think it's safe to say that Robert and Betty have gone way beyond the hobby realm.
Immersing themselves in the viscera of others is the only thing they care about it. Don't believe me? Just ask Betty. Oh, I'm sorry. You can't right now. You wanna know why? She's bathing in blood. Lifting her left leg every so often in order to admire its shape and to watch the bloody water drip off her calves, Betty bathes like she's in a soap commercial (the world's darkest, most upsetting soap commercial). As while Betty is killing the Calgon mystique (no one is taking Betty anywhere), Robert is watching television on the bed described in the lyrics of Fad Gadeget's "Collapsing New People." Okay, maybe it's not a bed made out of nails, but it's got a headboard made of chainlink fencing.
Which reminds me: Does your belligerent fifteen year-old son like industrial music? Well then, why not show him that you really love him and buy him a bed made entirely out of chainlink fencing.
It would seem that he isn't really watching television (a stuffy panel show about phobias), as we soon enter his mind and witness a bunny being skinned (don't worry, its throat was cut first), while Robert performs an autopsy in a different location all together. After the bunny's innards have been removed, the action moves to a sunny suburban backyard where we find a man playing with an air rifle. I don't think we are inside Robert's head anymore. Either way, the man with the air rifle accidentally shoots a man picking apples next-door in the neck. Falling awkwardly on a garden tool, the apple picker dies.
The air rifle guy's decision to dump the apple picker's body in a ravine turns out to be the defining event of Robert's life. Well, actually, Robert's decision to take the apple picker's body home with him was the decision that did most of the life defining. But let's not quibble over minor details. At any rate, instead of hauling the apple picker's rotting corpse to the morgue, Robert takes it home with him, much to Betty's delight. Opening him like a present (he's wrapped in plastic), Robert and Betty molest the apple picker's putrid flesh set to creepy music.
You can tell Betty's hardcore just by looking at the runs in his stockings. I mean, she hasn't even attached the apple picker's makeshift penis (a modest chunk of metal) to his cesspool of a crotch and her stockings already showing signs of wear and tear.
As their unorthodox threeway moves to the bed, it comes to my attention that the music in this film is utterly amazing. Composed by Hermann Kopp, Bernd Daktari Lorenz, and John Boy Walton, the Nekromantik score is tuneful, and, dare I say, surprisingly beautiful at times. The so-called "Theme from Nekromantik" in particular, as it confuses the hell out of the viewer. What I mean is, the serene-sounding music doesn't quite match the repugnancy of the visuals. While your ears are being bathed in a soft piano melody, your eyes are watching two living Germans have sex with a dead German; and not a recently deceased one, either.
The domestic bliss the wacky trio (the dead apple picker is hanging on the wall next to a vulva-exposing centrefold) are currently experiencing is soon turned on its head after Robert gets fired from J.S.A. (that Bruno has had in for him since day one). Realizing that he won't be able to bring any more corpses home now he's not working for J.S.A., Betty decides to leave Robert, and, to add insult to injury, takes the dead apple picker's body with her. One minute their happily eating dinner together (the apple picker's corpse is leaking fluids in the other room), and the next, it's all over. It just goes to show that even the most stable relationships can fall apart at any given moment.
Leaving him corpseless in Seattle (and by "Seattle," I mean, Berlin), Robert tries to fill the emptiness by bringing home a cat. But that doesn't quite work out, as he ultimately ends up bathing in its entrails (don't worry, unlike the bunny, the real cat wasn't harmed, at least I hope it wasn't). In desperate need of satisfaction, Robert attempts to fill the void left by Betty and the apple picker's departure by going to see "Vera," a horror movie playing at the local multiplex (cool, man, they serve beer). Even though the movie, a low budget slasher flick starring Suza Kohlstedt as "Vera," failed to engage the wily necrophiliac, I liked how the film within the film was actually pretty entertaining (a blonde in white fishnet stockings runs from a killer wearing pantyhose on his head), and judging by the grin on his face, the film critic taking notes in the back seemed to think so as well.
Since the depths of his despair can't be lulled by pills and booze, Robert dreams of being a corpse. Stuffed in a plastic bag, Robert breaks out it and finds himself sitting in a field. Suddenly, a woman appears (Christiane Baumgarten) carrying a box. Now, I don't want to say what's in the box. But let's just say, the scene ends with Robert swinging entrails over his head like a giddy lunatic.
If the dream was any indication, you would think that Robert would have figured out what he needs to do next. But he gives normalcy one last shot when he visits hooker row. Choosing a prostitute in all white (Heike Surban), Robert takes her to the local cemetery. As the tantalizing largeness of glorious behind grips the cold concrete of the tombstone he has selected, it's obvious that Robert won't be able to perform in the manner in which he is accustomed.
Ghastly in all the right places, Nekromantik is the type of movie that revolts as it illuminates. Or, I should say, that it illuminates as it revolts. Unconventional, in that it fails to kowtow to the conventions put in place by the horror genre, it's obvious that Jörg Buttgereit is an artist. Sure, he's wallowing in a subject matter that is considered vile to most people, but he doesn't let that distract him from making an unflinching masterwork. And that's exactly what this film is once you put aside your hang-ups and prejudices.

This is a film I've read about a lot over the years. Reviews are drastically split between "masterpieces" and "overrated garbage." With reactions like "my eyes will never be clean again" and "some wounds will never heal" describing the viewing experience on both sides. Your review convinces me that it is worth a look.
On a side note, I totally read your SKINNY PUPPY book. Along with SWANS, nothing is a more important source of focus in my life than SKINNY PUPPY.
I wouldn't call it either of those things, but I would definitely label it as "romantic."
Skinny Puppy is an important source of awesomeness. :)
I don't know if I mentioned this before, but I purchased the SWANS' COP when I was fifteen. And I remember it fucking me up real good (the liner notes alone are worthy of seven or eight poorly written sonnets).
Well, despite all the decaying ickiness, I can see how the whole concept of "romance" is dissected. (http://instantrimshot.com/)
SKINNY PUPPY is absolutely essential.
I was in to SWANS first, though. Living far away from a city in pre-internet days, it was hard to get hold of non-big label bands. Sonic-Youth's EARLY work and Ms. Lunch were my main highschool obsessions. I found FILTH when I was about 17, but the absolute skull and soul crushing of COP wasn't until I was 19.
That album, more than any other, completely altered my mental landscape. Irreversibly. I don't listen to it as often as I used to. Its just so emotionally crushing. Its like the music rips open my chest and face, and chews and exposed nerve endings with its splintered teeth.
Nine-Fingered Menace June 17, 2012 at 11:08 AM
Sounds perfectly dreadful. But then, I've lately been in a "screw romance" kind of mood.
@ido: Sadly, COP is the only SWANS album I own (I have the "Time is Money (Bastard)" 12" single). Records were very expensive back when I was flipping through the wracks (import prices).
That's an apt way of describing the COP experience. It's a scary album.
@Nine-Fingered Menace: It's the ideal anti-romantic movie. Plus, it's German.
Darius Whiteplume June 28, 2012 at 6:55 PM
I have only heard awful things about this one from reliable sources, and now you go and make it sound wonderful. If you have not seen "Die, You Zombie Bastards" it is a bit of a rip off, save that it's "Robert" saves the world from a zombie menace dressed in a costume made of human flesh.
I'm sorry, I hope I didn't make it sound too wonderful. ;)

Center for Business & Economic Competitiveness
What's Hidden In Expanded Gambling Legislation
John J. Walters Oct 17, 2012
When Maryland voters visit the polls this November, they will vote on much more than our nation's next president. This year's ballot contains an unprecedented seven ballot questions – allowing residents the most direct influence over state-level decisions in 30 years. One of the largest and most controversial issues is gambling expansion, only four years after Maryland first legalized gambling to raise money for public education and other under-funded capital projects.
Initially, Maryland legalized the construction of five casinos that would contain a total of no more than 15,000 slot machines; table games such as black-jack, craps, and roulette would remain illegal. And although only three casino facilities are currently operational at this writing, the Maryland legislature is already considering whether to add a sixth facility in Prince George's County, increase the maximum number of allowable slot machines to 16,500, and legalize table games at all six facilities.
This represents a major departure from the state's initial strategy. Whereas before it was clear we legalized slots gambling expressly to raise money for a few specific causes, now Maryland residents must wonder if we are trying to keep up with our neighbor-states – Delaware, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia. Near our borders, they all have casinos that extract revenue from Maryland taxpayers. Could the expansion of gambling in Maryland simply be another part of this competition?
At any rate, Maryland voters are going to be asked to make the final decision on the proposed expansion of gambling.

Die Cays bestehen aus vier Inseln, Northeast Cay, Middle Cay, Southwest Cay und South Cay mit einer Fläche zwischen 15,2 und 0,2 Hektar. Sie sind mit Büschen und einigen Bäumen bewachsen. Schildkröten und Vögel nutzen sie zur Eiablage. Im Norden der Hauptinsel Northeast Cay steht der Leuchtturm Pedro Cays Lighthouse.
Northeast Cay (Top Cay) 7,5 Hektar
Middle Cay 4,0 Hektar
Southwest Cay 15,2 Hektar
South Cay 0,2 Hektar

Drei kleinere Felsen (Korallenoolithe) ragen 50 bis 60 cm aus dem Wasser:
Portland Rock (auch Eastern Pedro Cay)
Blower Rock
Shannon Rock

Daneben gibt es eine Anzahl kleiner untermeerische Felsen auf der Pedro Bank, wie Banner Reef, Southwest Rock, Willsteed Rock, Doyle Shoal und Powell Knoll.

Der The Morant and Pedro Cays Act von 1975, der auch die Morant Cays betrifft, war eines der ersten Umweltschutzgesetze Jamaikas. Zur Einhaltung der Bestimmungen wurde auf Middle Cay eine Station der Jamaica Defence Force Coast Guard eingerichtet. Ansonsten sind die Inseln unbewohnt. Zugang für Touristen ist eingeschränkt möglich, ebenso wie Fischerei.

Die Hauptinseln sind umgeben von Korallenriffen und ausgedehnten Seegrasfeldern.

A Woman Who Likes to Wonder...: Catch Up Take 2!
This was a wonderful stop. We rode the ferry (or Fairy as the kids are convinced it is) over. Orlando was in heaven! Yet another form of transport to add to the repertoire! Or camp site was on one end of "The Neck" which is the famous isthmus the joins north and south islands together. Our campsite was merely meters from the BEAUTIFUL beach and we very much enjoyed sleeping to the beating of the waves (have actually had this for 3 weeks now and will miss it as we move inland).
We could have stayed here for weeks! The island has a small population but it has a beautiful relaxed atmosphere. There are little factories and farms like the cheese factory, the smoke house, the berry farm and fudge shop. We did the tour and went back to our beach with a hamper full of goodies to enrich our camping pantry. We had sunshine and no wind YAY!!
Our dear friend Kathryn and her daughter Jasmine live in the little fishing village of Dover. It is always good to spend some time with old friends. Particularly ones you were very close to and then don't see for ages. It was nice being in a house for a few nights but a bit of a culture shock also. The kids were in heaven! Another kid to play with! And TOYS!!!!!!!! After an awkward start, Orlando and Jasmine hit it off and quickly made friends. Orlando found it rather tricky to say good bye to Jasmine, she made quite an impression on him. He sobbed for a good half an hour when we left, upset he wasn't going to see her again for a long time. This was also a clear indication for us that he is REALLY missing all of his friends and the social community he has around him at home.
Well Hobart nearly blew us away!! LITERALLY! This was when the gale force winds hit Tasmania and Victoria and Oh MY!! We were in a horrible little Caravan Park on the outskirts of Hobart and were in a wind tunnel next to a bay so we had 3 sleepless nights just trying to hold the van down so that it didn't take off! Nathan's wonderful rope skills meant that he was able to tie the roof of the van to the ground to hold it down. This wind scared me a bit and I didn't feel settled or safe.
We also spent a very windy day in Hobart at the Salamanca markets which is always a nice day out. Got some delicious produce to nibble and found a FANTASTIC little book shop in Salamanca square. Could of spent days in there. It was my idea of a beautiful little tucked away treasure. Even the kids were happy for a full hour looking at all the kids books.
We had our Belated Fathers Day. We went to see MONA (Museum of Old and New Art) This is a great gallery and a real asset to the Art world. We really enjoyed our visit here, the museum has been well done. We also agreed that much of it, is not the sort of art we really like to look at! A bit too much exhibitionism for my liking. We then went over to the Royal Tasmanian Botanic Gardens. These are beautiful but it was really interesting to been in a 'constructed' natural space after spending so much time in wild natural spaces.
We were pleased and relieved to be going bush again and this is a beautiful part of Tasmania. We camped at Fortescue Bay which is a stunning beach with white sands and picture perfect blue water. We had quite an adventure getting in to our campsite as it was raining, just a little, but enough! The road was dirt and the hill was long and VERY steep and started to go straight up, straight after a sharp corner, so you didn't even know it was coming to get a good run up.... well with this and a whole lot of loose, wet slippery gravel on the road.... we couldn't get up the hill... Bugger... we had 3 attempts, each time Nath had to reverse the car and van down the ridiculous hill that was so slippery we were sliding even when stopped and trying to be still. Just when we were discussing other camping options in the area an 'old cobber' came out of no where in his little suzuki and said "Common cobber, hook this to your bus, we need to get those kiddies to the beach!" and he hooked a tow rope to the front of the car and his little box of a 4WD pulled us, the car and the van up the hill. Thank goodness! And bless the little bush yokel fairy that saved our asses!
Once here we really enjoyed a day at Port Arthur. Ollie really loved the stories about how people used to live and we only included a few of the horrible bits :) Tilly didn't understand much of it but loved the old houses. We also went on an epic bush walk that was meant to be "flat 3 hr coastal walk". Well it took us at least 4 1/2 hrs and was VERY hilly. Like we walked over the top of 3 mountainous headlands. By the end we all felt exhausted but satisfied. Ollie walked the whole lot of it and Tilly helped me build back and shoulder strength with her luxury back pack ride.
Being the "Gold Coast of Tasmania" and Tasmanian school holidays, it was a lot busier here than we have had anywhere (saying that we have come accustomed to having campgrounds to our selves :)) So we felt a little crowded. We are also starting to get a bit tired and need to remember to schedule in some slow days, other wise we are going to need a holiday from our holiday!
We had a meander along some little pebble beaches, one with some amazing granite boulders and caves. The bouldering/rock climbing bug has bitten Ollie and Nath and Ollie are having some FANTASTIC boy time going off and rock scrambling. Matilda on the other hand sits in the sand or pebbles and has a little sensory massage, rubbing and rolling her whole body in the sand. She gets in quite a zone!
For our last stop in Tasmania we have decided to stop at the sleepy little town of Mole Creek. Today we went and explored the caves which was one of the most beautiful and well preserved limestone tour caves I've seen. It also houses one of the largest populations of Glow Worms. The kids have become quite the glow worm fans! Ollie expressed today that they were like beautiful stars and he and Nath are hatching a plan to construct a glow worm haven on his roof at home. Tomorrow we bush walk some more and go and visit the honey shop and other gourmet delights.
On Wednesday evening we embark on our return voyage on the Spirit (as you could of guessed Ollie has been talking about for a week already!) and then we have just over 2 weeks of this journey left! Time is flying for us!
5 Weeks in we have settled into a nice hum together as a family. The kids have made great friends and are really enjoying each others company. We are thankful for the bonding we have the opportunity to be doing and I think it will stay with us for a long time following this journey. All of our internal communication has improved out of sight and we are appreciating each other everyday. Parts of us are longing for home, we miss our friends, family and lives. We miss our chickens and garden, which should be blossoming just beautifully about now. But that will all be there waiting for us on our return.

19 September 2018 Movies To Get Excited About, From Netflix Rom-Coms To Period Piece Thrillers
By Danielle Burgos
Savor those Summer Fridays folks, because there's not that many left in the season. As fall winds its way down the river of time, it may feel sad to pack away our unicorn inner-tubes and pineapple bikinis, but with every close comes new opportunity, and this is no exception. Here are 19 September 2018 movies to get excited about, films that'll help put the sweltering days of summer out of mind and properly behind you.
Leading into Halloween, there's some pretty great horror on the horizon, including Predator's latest reboot and the "don't sleep or you'll die" thriller Mara, about an ancient demon who kills people in their sleep. Assassination Nation, meanwhile, looks like a cross between The Purge and Unfriended, but with a lot more head-shots and texting. And bonkers black metal paean Mandy is in a category all its own, a gore-soaked revenge tale helmed by no less than Nicholas Cage.
For those who want something a little less terrifying, there's the romantic drama Life Itself, which comes from the director of This Is Us and promises to bring the same level of tears and joy. Colette offers a look at a woman struggling with what many of us still do today — being taken seriously for the work she does. There's a vast array of other films on the list below, so you're sure to find something to love this September.
1. 'I Am Not A Witch'
Madman Films on YouTube
Originally released on the festival circuit in 2017, this story of a girl sent to "witch camp" by her community gets a wider release this year. Tethered to a cord so she can't fly away and told she'll turn into a goat if she cuts it, Shula quietly puts up with being gawked at by tourists and having her "powers" rented out for use by the entrepreneurial camp leader. The movie judges both the culture that put her in this position and those who look down on it condescendingly.
In theaters September 7.
2. 'Mara'
Film Trailer Zone on YouTube
What could be more frightening than experiencing the terrors of sleep paralysis? Oh yeah, finding out they're real and trying to kill you. When a criminal psychologist looks into the death of several people who seem to have been strangled in their sleep, she discovers an ancient demon named Mara, and must figure out how to stop her before falling asleep again.
3. 'Sierra Burgess Is A Loser'
Netflix on YouTube
In a modern retelling of Cyrano de Bergerac, Sierra (Riverdale's Shannon Purser) teams up with the school's most popular and conventionally pretty girl to win over her crush, who she fears won't like her as she is.
Available September 7 on Netflix.
4. 'Peppermint'
Jennifer Garner makes a big-screen comeback in this throwback to '80s fear-based revenge films. After her family's killed by gang members and the men are set free, Garner's character has to seek her own justice.
5. 'The Predator'
20th Century Fox on YouTube
After a kid accidentally trips a signal, small-town suburbia faces the arrival of the universe's ultimate hunters, and it's up to a disgruntled science teacher and mix of ex-soldiers to try and stop them.
In theaters September 14.
6. 'A Simple Favor'
Lionsgate Movies on YouTube
After her wealthy friend (Blake Lively) goes missing, mommy vlogger Anna Kendrick starts investigating why. She uncovers a lot more than she bargains for in this deadpan black mystery.
7. 'The Children Act'
A24 on YouTube
Emma Thompson plays a judge who must decide whether to overrule a young man's religiously-based decision to not get a blood transfusion that could save his life.
8. 'I Think We're Alone Now'
Momentum Pictures on YouTube
A post-apocalyptic film named after the overly-earnest '80s cover of a pop hit gives an idea of how Peter Dinklage likely feels in this lightly sci-fi film. Dinklage plays a guy who assumes he's the last man on earth, until Elle Fanning shows up.
9. 'Lizzie'
RoadsideFlix on YouTube
A reimagining of the infamous double-murder, starring Chloe Sevigney as a very lonely and repressed Lizzie. When a new house maid played by Kristin Stewart shows up, sparks fly and plans are made.
10. 'Mandy'
RLJE Films on YouTube
A black metal fever dream from the director of Beyond The Black Rainbow, Mandy stars Nicholas Cage as a man hell-bent on getting revenge on the satanic cult who tore his life apart.
11. 'Life Itself'
Amazon Studios on YouTube
This anthology from the director of This Is Us stars Olivia Wilde and Oscar Issac as a couple madly in love, and spans decades and continents tracing the "random moments" that lead to romance.
12. 'Colette'
Movieclips Trailers on YouTube
Ghostwriting a bestselling novel for her husband, writer Colette (Keira Knightley) struggles to make a name for herself in a world that refuses to take women seriously.
13. 'Assassination Nation'
NEON on YouTube
After a hacker releases the entire town of Salem's internet history, everyone absolutely loses it and goes on a murderous rampage of revenge. A group of besties tries to keep it together and stay alive while caught in the middle both on- and offline.
14. 'The Sisters Brothers'
ONE Media on YouTube
Joaquin Phoenix and John C. Reilly are the titular brothers, hired to kill a prospector who stole gold from their boss in this anachronistic western.
15. 'Bad Reputation'
Magnolia Pictures & Magnet Releasing on YouTube
This documentary about the life and music of Joan Jett features the woman herself, along with a slew of interviews with fans and friends, as they talk about living through the '70s and '80s through today.
16. 'Nappily Ever After"
Violet Jones' (Sanaa Lathan) identity is tied to her hair, perfect and absolutely under her control. But when an expected proposal from her boyfriend turns out to be a puppy surprise, she realizes she's been living the life she thought she should, not the one she wants.
Available September 21 on Netflix.
17. 'Love, Gilda'
This loving tribute to the life, spirit and influence of comedian and Saturday Night Live cast member Gilda Radner is filled with testaments from those influenced by her work, including Amy Poehler, Melissa McCarthy, and Maya Rudolph.
18. 'Night School'
Universal Pictures on YouTube
Trying to get his life back on track after a gas explosion, Kevin Hart hits night school in hopes of getting his GED. Tiffany Haddish plays the teacher, and the two of them don't exactly see eye to eye. Hijinks ensue, especially with a class full of outsiders joining the fray.
19. 'Matangi/Maya/M.I.A.'
M.I.A. on YouTube
An intimate look at the artist, this film follows M.I.A.'s evolution from flaky film student to woke media darling, to the backlash of fame and speaking up.
These are just what's available for September, so there are plenty of other great movies bound to come throughout the rest of fall.

Q: How to take min and max of a matrix in matlab? I have something full of numbers like this vee(:,:). It has 30 rows and 2 columns.
When I try to get the min and max of the second column, I use;
ymax = max(vee(:,2));
ymin = min(vee(:,2));

it works
when I want the min and max of the first column, I use
xmax = max(vee(1,:));
xmin = min(vee(1,:));

I don't know about matrix dimensions I might be wrong. Why doesn't the xmin and xmax work? It only gives me the values of the first row. What is wrong here?

A: in matlab
vee(:,i) % gives you the ith column
vee(i,:) % gives you the ith row

you were doing
vee(:,2) % Right way to access second column
vee(1,:) % Wrong way to access first column, right way to access first row

You need to do
vee(:,1) % Right way to access first column

A: You should use
xmax = max(vee(:,1));
xmin = min(vee(:,1));

To get the first column.

This review is about a new binary options scam called "Chess Masters Code".
Chess Masters Code has an anonymous presentation in which you can hear that they need beta testers for testing a trading software based on chess masters methods.
The guy talking in the video says that this software is about to make him a millionaire.
We've reviewed hundreds of scams and we've heard a lot of stupid stories such as predicting binary options trades with weather forecasts. The Chess Masters Code falls into the same group. Using chess strategies for trading financial markets? Really? It is a total nonsense.
The reality is that the Chess Masters Code is just another scam. People who created it are affiliated with a certain broker and will get paid for sending new depositors to this broker. This is the only purpose of their project, to make you deposit money with their broker, because it will earn them a commission.
Don't trust anybody that is promising you free money with binary options but asks you for a deposit first!
When you sign up for the Chess Masters Code, you'll see some testimonials. These should be real trading results of people using this software, but they are fake.
Look at the examples on the right, these photos were stolen from different sources and belong to somebody else.
When you read the Disclaimer of Chess Masters Code, you'll of course find out that you should be prepared for losses ant that the program does not guarantee anything.
But the most interesting thing in this document is that you can find the address of Risk Free Profits, which is another binary options scam. So now you know what is Chess Masters Code based on.
Chess Master Methods are just an empty bubble, the software is worth nothing, it cannot trade binary options profitably.
If you trade your account with Chess Masters Code, you will lose money.
If you want see how money is really being made in binary options trading, try a free demo. It takes patience and learning before you can trade profitably.

Imagine family and friends in a flowered field, on a hillside, in a rustic remodeled barn, or beneath a white wedding tent on a grand lawn, gathered in celebration of one of life's most precious moments. A red-tailed hawk soars high overhead, as the gentle waters of the Esopus Creek spill over moss-covered rocks in the distance. The mountains of the Catskill Park rise up all around. The ceremony, a vision of love and harmony, is entirely the couple's creation -as has been every facet of this joyous event. Full Moon prides itself on developing a close working relationship with wedding clients. The opportunity is always there for couples to take an active role, not only in the planning, but in the actual production of their event. There is no such thing as a "typical" wedding at Full Moon; however, the common thread is attention to the client's unique needs. From the initial planning to the farewell brunch, Full Moon's staff works closely with each couple to help bring their personal vision to life. Whether for an intimate party of twenty, or a very large gathering, Full Moon is truly a full service facility for one-of-a-kind Catskill mountain weddings. Weekend-long events are a specialty; but single-day weddings may be arranged as well. An entire spectrum of services is offered, including planning, tent and equipment services, formal dinner catering, bar service, and hotel accommodations with breakfast, lunch, barbeques and other dining packages. At the couple's request, Full Moon can contract flower-designers, photographers, inspirational wedding officials and and other vendors. As a performance venue, the resort has access to a treasure-chest of entertainment options. And, attention is always given to the myriad details that ultimately help the occasion shine even more brightly.
