Kurt Vogel Russell (* 17. März 1951 in Springfield, Massachusetts) ist ein US-amerikanischer Schauspieler.

Russell trat bereits als Kind und als Jugendlicher in Fernsehserien auf und war ab den 1960er Jahren in zahlreichen Filmen der Walt Disney Company zu sehen. Bekannt wurde er 1981 als wortkarger Einzelkämpfer im futuristischen Actionfilm Die Klapperschlange. Er arbeitete später wiederholt mit den Regisseuren John Carpenter und Quentin Tarantino zusammen.

Leben und Karriere
Kurt Russell ist der Sohn des Schauspielers Bing Russell. Bereits 1957 war er in der Fernsehserie Sugarfoot zu sehen. Seine Kino-Karriere begann 1963 mit einer Rolle in dem Elvis-Presley-Film Ob blond – ob braun, wo er allerdings im Abspann nicht erwähnt wurde.

Mit zwölf Jahren hatte er seinen ersten großen Auftritt in der Rolle des Jaimie McPheeters in der US-Fernseh-Westernserie The Travels of Jaimie McPheeters (1963–1964). In der Serie, die auf einem Buch von Robert Lewis Taylor basierte, waren auch Dan O'Herlihy, Charles Bronson und die damals sehr jungen Osmonds zu sehen.

Bald erhielt der junge Russell einen Vertrag über zehn Jahre mit der Walt Disney Company. Daraufhin spielte er Rollen in vielen Disneyfilmen wie Vierzig Draufgänger (1966), Superhirn in Tennisschuhen (1969) und Der Retorten-Goliath (1975). Die meisten dieser Filme inszenierte Robert Butler. 1970 nahm er außerdem ein erfolgloses, schlicht Kurt Russell betiteltes Pop-Album für Capitol auf.

Kurt Russell hatte außerdem, wie bereits sein Vater vor ihm, eine kurze Karriere als Baseballspieler. In den frühen 1970er-Jahren spielte er an der zweiten Base innerhalb einer Minor-League-Mannschaft der California Angels (mittlerweile Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim). Nachdem er sich eine Verletzung an der Rotatorenmanschette einer Schulter zugezogen hatte, war er gezwungen, sich 1973 aus dem Sport zurückzuziehen. Daraufhin wandte er sich wieder voll der Schauspielerei zu. Als George Lucas 1975 begann, für seinen Film Star Wars zu casten, war Kurt Russell einer der Vorsprecher für die Rolle des Han Solo, die letztlich jedoch mit Harrison Ford besetzt wurde.

In den frühen 1980er Jahren wurde er dank John Carpenter vom Kinderstar zu einem bekannten Action-Darsteller in Filmen wie Die Klapperschlange (1981) und dem Horror-Klassiker Das Ding aus einer anderen Welt (1982). Einen weiteren Erfolg landete er 1986 mit Big Trouble in Little China. Kurt Russell versuchte sich nach den großen Erfolgen an humorvollen Einlagen wie Overboard – Ein Goldfisch fällt ins Wasser (1987) mit Goldie Hawn und Tango und Cash (1989) mit Sylvester Stallone. Er konnte jedoch nicht mehr an die früheren Erfolge anknüpfen und hielt sich mit weniger anspruchsvollen Filmen über Wasser. Russell startete in den 1990ern ein Comeback mit Filmen wie Backdraft – Männer, die durchs Feuer gehen (1991) und Fatale Begierde (1992), wofür er viel positive Kritik bekam. Außerdem spielte er 1994 in dem Science-Fiction-Film Stargate die Hauptrolle des Jack O'Neil. Als ab 1997 von Brad Wright, Jonathan Glassner und Robert C. Cooper dazu eine Serie produziert wurde, besetzte man diese Rolle allerdings mit Richard Dean Anderson.

2006 war Russell in dem Katastrophenfilm-Remake Poseidon von Wolfgang Petersen zu sehen, der trotz überwiegend positiver Kritiken kaum kommerziellen Erfolg hatte. Noch im selben Jahr wurde er von Quentin Tarantino für die Rolle des Stuntman Mike in dessen Film Death Proof – Todsicher engagiert, die Tarantino ursprünglich Mickey Rourke angeboten hatte. 2015 spielte er in Tarantinos Film The Hateful Eight eine Hauptrolle als Kopfgeldjäger John Ruth. Im selben Jahr übernahm er in Fast & Furious 7 die Rolle des Mr. Nobody, die er auch im Nachfolgefilm Fast & Furious 8 spielte. 2017 war er in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 in der Rolle des Ego zu sehen. Im Folgejahr verkörperte er Santa Claus im Weihnachtsfilm The Christmas Chronicles.

Kurt Russells deutsche Stimme ist in fast allen seinen Filmen die von Manfred Lehmann.

Familie
Kurt Russell war mit der Schauspielerin Season Hubley verheiratet, die er 1979 auf dem Set zu Elvis – The King kennengelernt hatte. Mit ihr zusammen hat er den Sohn Boston. Während seines Scheidungsverfahrens mit Hubley im Jahr 1983 traf Russell Goldie Hawn, mit der er seither liiert ist. Die beiden sind nicht verheiratet, haben aber einen Sohn, Wyatt Russell. Kurt übernahm des Weiteren die Vaterpflichten für Hawns Kinder aus der Ehe mit Bill Hudson, Oliver und Kate Hudson, die mittlerweile beide selbst Schauspieler sind.

Russell ist ein prominentes Mitglied der Libertarian Party, was ihm nach eigenen Aussagen das Leben in Hollywood recht schwer machte. Deshalb zog er bald in die Gegend um Aspen in Colorado, wo er sich als Autor versuchte und unter anderem am Drehbuch zu Flucht aus L.A. mitschrieb. Im Februar 2003 zogen Russell und Hawn nach British Columbia in Kanada, da ihr Sohn dort besser Eishockey spielen konnte.

Russell ist Hobby-Winzer und verkauft unter dem Label "GoGi" vor allem Pinot noir und Chardonnay. Sein Interesse am Weinanbau wurde während der Dreharbeiten zu Death Proof geweckt, als er über Wochen hinweg das Santa Barbara County in den Weinbergen von Santa Rita Hills erkundete.

Auszeichnungen
Kurt Russell wurde 1979 für den Fernsehfilm Elvis – The King für einen Emmy in der Kategorie Outstanding Lead Actor in a Limited Series or a Special nominiert. Für Silkwood erhielt er außerdem 1984 eine Nominierung zum Golden Globe Award als Bester Nebendarsteller. Die Disney-Studios ernannten ihn 1998 zur "Disney-Legende".

In common with most brands, Granose approached television as a crucial mechanism for communicating with the marketplace. The plan is for us to compile a comprehensive collection of each Granose advertisement transmitted in the United Kingdom. Far be it for us to sit as judge and jury about good and not-so good advertising. That's your call. We want instead to make it a piece of cake for you to enjoy Granose commercials whenever you want to. In our experience, often the commercials are the most entertaining part of watching TV. And no proper ad collection could be called complete in the absence of a sprinkling of Granose ads. So be fully reassured that whenever we find another Granose commercial, you're sure to be able to watch it on tellyAds.

Welcome to our collection of original humorous and serious T-shirts and sweatshirts on various holotechnology topics -- including holographic data storage and holography. The images are all original and, to the best of our knowledge, so are the sayings. Great gifts for the holotechnologist or holographer whom you know is going through a phase. Great way to make their world a little more coherent! Each available in two design styles -- (1) dark image on white shirt; or (2) light image on a black square on white shirt. I think that the light images on dark generally look cooler -- but different folks have different tastes so we have both styles. Please click on the image to see a larger picture and get more info. If you would like multiple copies of some custom combination of wording and one of the images, then please drop us a line at the address below and we will do our best to make it for you.

But first, let's introduce her and her amazing art.
At 38 years old, Chiara Bautista is one of the most fascinating artist that has ever been revealed by the Internet. What fascinates is of course her work first, from sketches to digital art and painting, with recognizable gracious lines and elements that connect her to pop surrealism and graphic novels. Indeed every piece of Chiara's work is inhabited by mysterious and poetic creatures borrowed from fairy tales and released into the modern world. But it's her story that makes Chiara's work unique and spellbinding. Not especially her life's bio, a bachelor's degree in Graphic design and a long career as an illustrator for the Arizona Daily Star, in her home of Tucson, USA. No, it's her out-of-this-world, romantic relationship with her muse, nicknamed Ilka, met online and never in real life (as far as we know). The art of Chiara is a real conversation with her muse that we are able to witness, without having the keys of understanding, we are still caught up in all its magic and romance. No need to add more. The artwork and Chiara's answers will give you a special insight into this enigmatic and fascinating artist.
Where do you find the inspiration for all the lovely creatures that inhabit your drawings (the wolf, mermaids, teddy bears, skeleton birds, etc) ?
The characters and their ongoing stories are made as gifts for people I love. They are usually born from conversations, most of them from a single sentence said at the right time.
There are some references to religion and martyrs in your art : is it an inspiration, and what meaning do you see behind it ?
I'm Mexican, born and raised in México, and religion is a big part of my culture. Religious icons are found and seen everywhere, not only in churches, so I grew up with that imagery as part of the background. The meaning I see in it, varies, and the only thing that never changes is that I've always thought they are very beautiful.
You often depict love stories with a sweet melancholy and irony : do you believe in love ?
Of course I believe in love. I'm in love. And even when I'm not in love, I still believe in it.
Do you think that pain is more beautiful to draw than happiness ?
I think everything can be beautiful if presented the right way. It's all about perspective. You know what they say… for every downside, there's an upside.
Music is really present in your artworks : how much is it important when you are working ?
I love all kinds of music, I listen to music all the time. Not as much lately due to headphones being banned at work, but hey, I can always sing while I draw. I don't need music to work, but working is definitely a lot more enjoyable with music.
Have you ever considered doing comics or books ? What are your projects ?
I have a lot of projects and never enough time to work on all of them. On top of my list, comics and graphic novels are something I'd like to try but I'd have to learn and practice a lot first. Telling a story frame by frame requires a lot more than just being able to draw. My admiration goes to all comic artists out there.
Your drawings are often used for tattoos : what do you think of it ? Are you connected with tattoo art?
I find very flattering that people like my work that much and I think it's really sweet that they find a personal connection to the characters and their stories. As for myself, my only connection to tattoo art are the pictures people share with me when they get my illustrations tattooed on them, and the huge respect I have for tattoo artists.
I've been following Chiara on Facebook for a quite long period of time and she never cease to amaze me with her art. I sincerely hope she will sell an artbook sooner or later. I would definitely get it.
I am right there behind you she has alot of beautiful work.
Does she have one yet?
shes one of my favorite artist EVER!!
I've been following Chiara since her MySpace days. I wish there was a way to buy her works. So talented. Seems like the demand for her pieces is pretty high and she'd be able to quit her job and create her art full time. I hope she does some day.
One of my new favorites now!
So hard to understand why she is still working for a newspaper and not doing her art full-time. With as many new pieces as she posts to Facebook, you'd think it's time to pull the trigger.
Would love to buy her amazing creations!


Dude - I think you need to revisit the meaning of kindness. Just sayin' Your still very cute.
Hey, that's probably kinder than Binga would give!
"Don't forget to take your pink toy with you when you leave." MOL!!!!!!!!!!
Well, let's say you TRIED to impart a random act of kindness on Allie today by sharing your lounger....but your desire to maintain residence on said lounger YOURSELF, may have interfered with things just a tad? So did she take her pink toy with her when she departed????????
MOL! It was nice of you to let Allie "sleep" in your lounger. Mes used to let Jewel sleep in my cubes all the time.
Well, no one said random acts of kindness had to be a certain length. Maybe we should change the name to brief acts of kindness.
I see that your random acts of kindness come with stipulations. Great Idea, Maxwell!
LOL! You guys always crack me up!
That was a sweet gesture.
Maybe the randomness has to do with the length of your kind acts, Maxie?
Maxwell, it was very kind of you to let Allie have a turn in your lounger.
You are evfur so kind...MOL!!


You're thinking about taking financial advice but you're not sure what your next steps should be. Where do you start in your search for a good financial planner?
Money can be difficult and time consuming to look after. People want to gain control and peace of mind over their finances, so they often draft in professional financial planners to help. Financial planners have the skills and qualifications necessary to help you make effective financial decisions, bringing you closer to achieving your aspirations in life.
It's important that you have a sense of what your goals are before seeking advice. It could be as simple as wanting to ensure you have enough money to live the life you want to in the future, or you might have a more specific goal such as how to invest a lump sum tax-efficiently, in an ISA or a pension for example.
Always keep in mind that poor financial advice makes choosing the right financial planner important. They need to put you and your long-term future at the centre of what they do. When you find a good one, you can be sure that they will want to build a trusted relationship with you. You can also be sure that they will agree on fees with you upfront, putting them in the best position to provide good financial planning rather than focus on selling products.
And we believe that it does pay to pay for financial advice – unless someone is a qualified and professional financial planner, you can't be certain that you're getting the best advice.
How can I find a financial planner?
You may want a financial planner who is local to you and you could seek personal recommendations from friends and family members. Financial planners can set up shop on their own and you can find them working within the big high-street banks. They also operate alongside accountants, as well as in specialist financial planning and investment companies such as Tilney.
The way that financial planners work differs from institution to institution. If you meet a financial planner at your bank, they can usually only recommend the bank's products and services whereas other financial planners have access to a much wider choice of products and services. What the bank offers might not always be suitable for you – it's always best to ask whether a financial planner is limited to certain products and services.
You might hear a financial planner also referred to as a financial adviser, IFA (Independent Financial Adviser) and wealth manager.
As you find with builders, dentists and doctors, some financial planners are much better than others. In the same way you carefully choose the right people to carry out any sort of service, it's very important to identify the best.
When choosing a financial planner, you should keep in mind that they need to be a qualified expert who understands all the technical details involved with giving advice. Anyone giving such advice must be registered with the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), which regulates financial services companies, and hold an FCA-recognised qualification.
What are the fees for financial planning?
What will any future advice look like?
When it comes to qualifications, chartered financial planners will have FPFS or APFS after their name. Being Chartered means that they are qualified to an industry-recognised high standard.
In a series of recent videos, our clients talk about the Tilney experience and about how we help them achieve what they want from life.
Through Tilney, we have a UK-wide team of financial planners meaning that you should find one local to you. All of our financial planners hold or are working towards either Certified or Chartered status, so they have the qualifications necessary to provide advice.
We centre our service on you and your goals and aspirations. This is the same whether you want one-off advice on a specific goal or you want to create a plan for your overall finances, with regular reviews of your situation and ongoing support on your investments.
There is no charge for your first conversation with a financial planner and we will always agree all fees in writing before starting work together. You can use this form to book an initial consultation – a member of our team will be in touch. Alternatively call us on 020 7189 2400 or email contact@tilney.co.uk for more information.

Monitoring Australian Bushfires from Space
As communities are experiencing the effects of climate change in Australia and around the world, people are looking for solutions that can help us better predict, prepare for and address the impacts of severe weather events. Australia is currently experiencing the worst fires on record and effective monitoring solutions are critical. One way for individuals and community leaders to understand the scale and impact of these fires is to utilise available satellite imagery.
New satellite images of locations from around the world are constantly being collected by hundreds of different public and private satellite operators. These images have the potential to help inform decision making processes, highlight damage caused by fires and alert people to potential hazards that could hamper rescue efforts and clean up efforts. By combining satellite imagery with other useful data sources it enables people to create a variety of useful applications that can provide value in many different ways.
At Arlula, we've found some amazing applications that utilise satellite imagery and are capable of providing information on the current bush fires in Australia. It goes without saying though, that if you're under threat from bushfires you should always follow the advice and direction provided by local emergency services. These application suggestions are a starting point for those looking to derive non time critical insights from free data sources.
Blue Mountains, NSW Dec 2019 — Landsat 8, Arlula API
NASA FIRMS:
NASA FIRMS is an app developed by NASA that provides access to near real time information on emerging fire threats from around the world. This application is simple to use and is incredibly useful in extracting detailed information on where fires may be. NASA FIRMS provides useful features such as information alerts and fire markers to indicate where fires are currently burning.
Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) Satellite Viewer:
The BOM satellite viewer provides you with access to real time satellite imagery over Australia through a handy portal. The satellite that the BOM uses is constantly orbiting over Australia which means that it can provide new images at high frequency. The downside is that the images are lower resolution and do not provide you the ability to zoom into an image very much. This tool could be useful for monitoring fire movement over time.
Sentinel Hub — Playground:
The Sentinel Hub playground is a European app that allows you to explore the latest satellite imagery captured from ESA satellites. The images are of a high resolution and allow you to zoom into cities. This can provide you with a good idea of what the environment on the ground may have recently looked like during an emergency. Sentinel Hub provides new imagery updates at a rate of roughly once per week.
Commercial Options:
All of the apps we've discussed allow you to explore satellite imagery online and are free to access. Newer commercial satellite operators provide ultra high resolution satellite imagery that allows users to make out fine details in an image and can be useful when a high degree of accuracy is needed. There are many satellite operators that provide this level of imagery such as Maxar and SI Imaging.
At Arlula, our mission is to provide people with fast, online access to the best satellite imagery. By helping organisations create new applications using data coming from space, we believe that it could greatly benefit people and potentially even save lives in emergencies.

A few days ago, I posted about the Donmar Warehouse's PR campaign for The Weir, which describes Conor McPherson as one of "our" greatest living playwrights.
I was suggesting in that post that the "our" might just have been a mistake but observed that Irish writers, especially the successful ones, are often referred to as British, and that this can often feel like appropriation.
A few people contacted me either directly or via Twitter, mostly expressing frustration and citing examples of similar errors. But a few others suggested that perhaps the "our" meant "belonging to world drama": that McPherson is "ours" in the way that Sophocles and Ibsen belong to the world… That is entirely possible, though I would note that no British theatre would ever refer to David Mamet or Bruce Norris as one of "our" (i.e. "their") greatest living playwrights.
But really we're just talking here about how plays are marketed, so to a certain extent it's not worth getting too upset about a bit of inaccurate hyperbole.
Roddy Doyle is one of Britain's greatest writers. He is also my favourite teacher. His books arrived when I needed them most and, like the best of educations, changed my perceptions and the course of my life.
The rest of the article goes on to pay tribute to Doyle at length, referring in some detail to many of his novels and also displaying awareness of his former career as a teacher.
The full article can be read here, and its author is Kerry Hudson. And I should thank Emily Mark Fitzgerald for pointing it out to me via Twitter.
Needless to say, the comments soon started flooding in to the Guardian website, mostly from people pointing out the error. As one user stated it is very difficult to take an article seriously when it has so egregious an error in its opening line.
I completely understand why people are unhappy and I can only apologise. I did initially draft the copy to (incorrectly) read 'greatest British writer' but then realised my error requested this to be changed in advance of the piece being filed with the Guardian. For whatever reason that didn't happen.
She goes on to say that she hopes people will ignore the error and try to follow the spirit of the article in its entirety: "I was just trying to acknowledge and say thank you to someone who had a massive impact on my writing and life," she said.
Most of the people commenting accepted that explanation/apology – and I have to say it's refreshing to find someone who is willing to admit a mistake in the way that Hudson does. For anyone who writes anything, this kind of howler is both a perpetual fear and a perpetual risk: there are things that you know, have always known, and will always know – but for some reason will forget for the entire period that you spend writing something. So I think anyone is capable of making this kind of mistake. That is what editors are for, or used to be for.
And for some reason those kinds of massive blunders almost always appear in an opening paragraph.
I mean, what is the context in which an obviously intelligent, obviously educated, presumably thirty-something journalist describes an obviously Irish author who writes specifically about the working class experience within the Irish Republic's capital city come to actually make a statement like "Doyle is one of Britain's greatest writers"?
In response to the question of why I ever wrote that line in the first place I think (I wrote the article a wee while ago…) I was thinking about the reach of his books – I found mine in a tiny council estate library in Great Yarmouth – but as I've said this was never the wording that was meant to be published. By no means was I ever trying to 'claim' him.
This explanation trails off slightly, but is still interesting: it's likely that what she means is that Doyle's work feels like an important part of the fabric of her cultural life, not as something exotic or foreign but rather as something that is recognizable and immediate.
This is probably how many Irish people would feel about Coronation Street or Manchester United, or perhaps the novels of Ian McEwan or the music of Radiohead and so on. They wouldn't describe those things as "Irish" but they would probably use the word "our" about them in some contexts (and I'm not just referring to the way in which Irish people will say "we" when talking about their favourite English or Scottish football team) – or they would in any case feel a sense of ownership, possession, fidelity, and so on. When you really love something, it can feel like it belongs to you, and I think that's what she was trying to express.
It's also possible that some of this may be caused by the status of some Irish novelists within the London literary scene. It's been observed before that sometimes Irish fiction is presented by UK-based publishers not as a national literature but as a genre. "Irish" novels may be very different from each other on the surface: Banville is very different from Enright, who is different from Toibin, who is different from Sebastian Barry, who is different from Joseph O'Connor. But novels marketed as "Irish" do seem to have similar traits: lyricism, mordant (if not morbid) humour, a focus on the past that fuses nostalgia with acts of historical retrieval. And quite recently we've seen a few that are set in the past and which deal with the liberation of some unusually self-possessed young woman (Ghost Light, Brooklyn, On Canaan's Side).
And it's also notable that the novelists I mention above play a significant role in the discussion of fiction and ideas in Britain: Enright and Toibin's essays for publications like The London Review of Books are widely read, as are John Banville's reviews in London and New York.
And it's also often been observed before that these writers constantly write blurbs for each other's novels, thus heightening the sense that they are all inter-related by more than just their place of birth.
Again I think much of this is caused not just by marketing but by the ways in which marketing in turn influences the placement and commissioning of reviews – which in turn has an impact on other reputation-building exercises such as public readings, invitations to festivals, appearances on TV, and so on.
So I can understand what Hudson felt when she led off an article about one of her favourite writers by saying that there is no-one quite like him in all the land. I feel something similar about Zadie Smith and David Greig and many other writers and musicians. I know they're not Irish, but the worlds they create feel like they belong to me.
Commentators over on The Guardian website are characterising Hudson's error as arising from ignorance. But perhaps rather than seeing these mistakes as evidence of the divisions between our countries (so many of the Irish complaints are tinged with annoyance at not being noticed by a bigger neighbour), we could instead see them as an example of the ways in which the two countries are intertwined in important ways, especially when it comes to our literature(s). This intertwining is not necessarily an entirely bad thing – or an entirely good thing – but it certainly needs to be better understood.
Likewise I think there needs to be an acceptance that when Irish writers have been so warmly and so thoroughly welcomed into British theatre and fiction (albeit when they write in ways that conform to some extent with expectations of what an Irish writer ought to do), this will inevitably blur some boundaries too. We in Ireland celebrate the Booker victories and Tony Awards of people whose careers are to a great extent driven by forces in London: there is a risk in doing so that we are trying to have it both ways.
And at least Hudson has admitted the mistake and tried to correct it.
I recently finished reading Claire Kilroy's very enjoyable novel The Devil I Know. It's a satire about the collapse of the Celtic Tiger, narrated by a man called Tristram and written as a testimony to a tribunal taking place shortly before Easter 2016.
One of the things that makes the book so enjoyable is that there's a strong Faustian element to the story. Tristram finds himself back in Ireland after many years away, and reluctantly joins forces with a cute hoor property developer, in order to construct luxury apartments and a hotel in Howth – sometime shortly before the bust in 2008. He does so under the instructions of his AA sponsor and boss, the mysterious Monsieur Deauville, who only ever contacts him by phone. Tristram soon realises that his boss may not have entirely benign motivations (and realises also that he may be mispronouncing the first syllable in his boss's surname – "deh, not doh"). The crash comes, and – of course – everything goes to hell.
The inclusion of a satanic character – who is mostly off-stage during the novel but who exerts plenty of influence anyway – owes something to Flann O'Brien, I think. But for some time I've been very interested in answering a question that this book gives rise to: why is it that so many Irish writers who set out to tackle the Celtic Tiger do so by writing about people who sell their souls to the devil? Two of the best examples of this trend are Mark O'Rowe's Terminus and Conor McPherson's The Seafarer, two plays that were actually written before the boom came to an end (I've written an academic journal article about both and it is online here). And internationally I've read countless articles that describe the credit-fuelled bubble that burst in 2008 as having occurred because people "sold their souls to the devil" – metaphorically, of course.
It's interesting that the metaphor has such currency these days. I'm writing a book about this at the moment, so don't want to go into too much detail (if I start I won't stop) – but the Faust story has two elements that seem relevant nowadays. The first is that the Faust story conveys the idea of how wrong it is to apply a material value to something that should never be sold: this can be our 'soul' or it can also be things that we should value for their intrinsic worth such as love, national character, loyalty to a cause, family relationships, or something similarly abstract but essential. For example, in Ireland, many people say that we 'sold our soul' by losing touch with many of the things that made us distinctively Irish, such as hospitality, humility, and generosity to others (I'm not saying that I agree with this – just noting that this point has often been made).
And the second is the idea that when you strike a deal with the devil, you will always regret it once the reckoning falls due. Much of the writing about the banking crisis focusses on this aspect of the Faust story.
I see a lot of different explorations of both of those ideas in popular culture at the moment – from things like Public Enemy's brilliant album title How Do you Sell Soul to A Soulless People Who Sold Their Soul to the growing number of TV characters who have (in some way) sold their soul, of whom the best example is, I think, Walter White from Breaking Bad.
Anyway, I'll have more to say about that in about two years when I get this book I'm writing finished….
But Kilroy's novel is very good. When I started reading it, it reminded me a lot of John Banville, since it's a first person narrative, delivered by an erudite and slightly snobbish Irishman who has fallen on hard times. So it seemed slightly influenced by The Book of Evidence (still his best novel, I think), and I wasn't surprised to realise that Banville has written a blurb for the front cover of the book.
However Kilroy's novel soon takes up territory that is distinctive and fresh. The characterisation of property developers and politicians is well handled: the already overused phrases about the Celtic Tiger ("we all partied", "the fundamentals are sound going forward") do appear, but they're placed in such a grotesque framework that the shots don't feel cheap. Kilroy's greatest achievement here is to write a book that features ghosts, the devil, resurrections from death, and similarly fantastical events – yet it is the real occurrences from the last days of the Celtic Tiger that seem unbelievable. So the most exciting thing about this novel is that the moments that place most strain on your suspension of disbelief are the ones that Kilroy isn't actually making up. I can't think of a better way of satirising the Celtic Tiger period than by showing how it reads like a rather predictable horror story.
I do have to confess to having a slightly negative predisposition towards the many books, tv programmes, comedy routines, newspaper columns, and plays that are now satirising the Celtic Tiger. Many of them are in their own way very good – but I think the effect of such work can often be to confirm what we already know while creating the impression that the author is bravely attacking the status quo.
In fact though, in Ireland, the new status quo is that the old status quo was very bad. It's not true that "we all partied", but from watching or reading a lot of that work, I think that we in Ireland are now in danger of perpetuating the myth that the entire Celtic Tiger bubble was caused by Someone Else: property developers, bankers, politicians, public servants, Angela Merkel – take your pick: but It Wasn't Me.
That's not to say that the post-Celtic Tiger material that's being written is bad – far from it. Some of it's very good: I really loved Anne Enright's The Forgotten Waltz, for example (and don't consider it guilty of any of the criticism I mention above). And even during the boom, there were excellent novels that sought to come to terms with the consequences of the Celtic Tiger: Keith Ridgeway's The Parts and Paul Murray's Skippy Dies stand out, but there were others – and there were also films like The Tiger's Tail and plays like Declan Hughes's Shiver. All of those works set out to the challenge the orthodoxies of the boom when it was underway, and thus attempted the difficult job of confronting audiences, demanding that we ask questions about our lives and our society… But I think there's a risk that some of the work now being produced to attack the Celtic Tiger is just confirming the dominant narrative that's been built since 2008 – and the lack of dissent from dominant narratives was one of the problems that caused the excesses of the Celtic Tiger in the first place.
All of this is just to say that there may be people who will dismiss The Devil I Know because they may worry that it is another one of those 'closing the stable door after the horse has bolted' critiques of the Celtic Tiger. I have to admit, I wavered before buying it myself for that reason. But it's not that kind of work at all. Its central character is a recovering alcoholic – and if the addiction to alcohol is used as a metaphor for the Celtic Tiger's addiction to the accumulation of wealth and status symbols, the reverse is also true. I mean, that is, that this is a novel about addiction first and foremost. The Celtic Tiger is the setting and context for the story, but the novel transcends the local or, more specifically, the parochial setting to create a story that could travel widely and survive into the future.
I think this is important. One of the best books I've ever read about what debt does to people is Charles Dickens's Little Dorrit – while Sean O'Casey's Juno and the Paycock can be seen as having in some ways predicted what would happen to Ireland if the country ever became rich. In other words, the most relevant works of literature are those that tell us something about human nature – rather than recreating the events of one particular epoch in one particular country.
This is not to say that The Devil I Know is in every respect perfect. There is a very under-developed female character, whose purpose in the novel seems uncertain (another link with some of Banville's work, perhaps). But what I most admired were the varieties of style and sensations employed. The book is very funny, for example – but it's also quite creepy. There's one scene in which Tristram and the property developer drive in the middle of the night to an isolated rural farm – and the novel at that point is actually quite scary: not the kind of thing you'd want to read in a dark house alone on a windy night… So it is (to use one of its own repeated words) often uncanny and unsettling.
One last thing to say about it… It runs to about 360 pages, but because the novel is written in the form of a cross-examination by a barrister, there are quite a lot of 'chapters' that are no longer than a single sentence. In other words, it's much shorter than it looks – it could easily be read in a single sitting (I read it over three days) and actually merits re-reading too.
So – worth a look.

2020 Resolution: Become a water company
Tuesday, January 14, 2020 by Robinhood Snacks | Disclosures
New water company corporate mascot
28,907 (+0.29%)
3,288 (+0.70%)
$8,400 (+3.39%)
10-Yr US Treasury
Hey Snackers,
This playboy tortoise with an unstoppable libido may have single-handedly saved his species from extinction. Now Diego is heading home.
Markets edged up to start the the week before Wednesday's signing of the US/China "Phase 1" trade deal. Here's what's believed to be in it (picture soybeans and grains).
1. Cott acquires Primo Water to become Big H2O
Water is the essence of wetness... for Cott Corp. Canada's drinks/filtration company treated itself to acquire Primo Water for $775M. Cott's so enamored with water that it sold off its soft-drink biz and quit coffee/tea. Now it's even adopting Primo's entire brand — Cott is marrying Primo, taking its name, and paying it $775M.
Primo follows the ol' razor/razor blade biz model... You're lured in with cheap razors, but then have to refill with pricier blades (#hygiene). With water, Primo can barely make any money (but hook you) with its water dispensers, then make bank when you come back to exchange/refill your huge water jugs:
Low Margin: The claaaassic boulder-sized hot/cool water dispensers dominating your office kitchen — they're barely profitable for Primo (8% profit margin).
Higher Margin: Pre-filled plastic water jugs delivered to offices and homes nationwide — pretty profitable (30% margin).
Highest Margin: FYOB (fill your own bottles) using Primo's filling machines at over 23K locations like Safeway, Walmart, and Costco — the most profitable (31% margin).
Do less, more... Companies like Coca-Cola try to do more, more. Coca-Cola is a soda company, but it owns hundreds of non-soda brands from Dasani to Vitaminwater. Cott's doing the opposite: selling off its non-agua brands to focus solely on water (btw — it owns green glass bottle legend Mountain Valley).
Upside: Cott can do more with one product — Hydrating health is trendy along with sustainable bottles. Plus, everyone literally needs it to survive.
Downside: But Cott could get cott if the trends disappear — Water surpassed soda as America's favorite bottled beverage in 2017, but it could just be a fad.
2. 23andMe is using your saliva to cure diseases (and make money)
Selling search data is so 2019... That's why 23andMe is capitalizing on your DNA instead. The genetic testing unicorn first helped you find your long-lost cousin from Angola. Now it's sold the rights to a psoriasis drug it developed using its very own genetic database.
Old News: 23andMe sold access to its users' DNA to GlaxoSmithKlein in 2018 — GSK uses it to research and develop their own medicines.
New News: For the first time, 23andMe developed and licensed a drug itself, thanks to research made possible by its giant set of saliva samples — the buyer is Spanish pharma company, Almirall.
Key News: 10M customers have sent 23andMe their saliva in a tube to get their DNA analyzed — and 80% of them opted-in to participate in research (without gaining any financial benefit).
You are the product... literally. 23andMe makes money selling DNA kits ($99-$199), selling its DNA data to a pharma company, and now also by developing (and selling) its own drugs. All these money moves involve your DNA, which you're paying them to give them.
23andFree?... What if 23andMe made its core product (DNA ancestry kits) free instead? That would probably add millions of new customers, leading to more genetic info... which could lead to more drugs developed from all that extra research. That would make 23andMe look more like Facebook — it's free, but Facebook (and Insta) use your data to deliver you targeted ads. That's how FB makes $$$.
What else we're Snackin'
Returned: Away co-founder Steph Korey (not to be confused with Steph Curry) is back as co-CEO after stepping down in response to viral articles about the startup's work culture
Double Dogg: Dunkin' releases a Snoop Dogg-inspo'd plant-based breakfast sandwich, the "Beyond D-O-Double G" (it's a Beyond Meat patty, egg, and cheese inside... a glazed donut)
Precious: Rhodium (the precious metal used to cut down on emissions in car exhaust systems) is trading at its highest price since 2008
Spend: Visa drops $5.3B on fintech unicorn Plaid — the behind-the-scenes software that helps your Venmo account speak to your bank account
Refresh: TGI Fridays is refreshing its bar architecture (bar-chitecture?) before it goes public (again) this year

Cryptocurrency is a digital representation of value that functions as a medium of exchange, a unit of account, or a store of value, but it does not have legal tender status. Cryptocurrencies are sometimes exchanged for U.S. dollars or other currencies around the world, but they are not currently backed nor supported by any government or central bank. Their value is completely derived by market forces of supply and demand, and they are more volatile than traditional currencies. Trading in cryptocurrencies comes with significant risks, including volatile market price swings or flash crashes, market manipulation, and cybersecurity risks. In addition, cryptocurrency markets and exchanges are not regulated with the same controls or customer protections available in equity, option, futures, or foreign exchange investing. Cryptocurrency trading requires knowledge of cryptocurrency markets. In attempting to profit through cryptocurrency trading, you must compete with traders worldwide. You should have appropriate knowledge and experience before engaging in substantial cryptocurrency trading. Cryptocurrency trading may not generally be appropriate, particularly with funds drawn from retirement savings, student loans, mortgages, emergency funds, or funds set aside for other purposes. Cryptocurrency trading can lead to large and immediate financial losses. Under certain market conditions, you may find it difficult or impossible to liquidate a position quickly at a reasonable price. This can occur, for example, when the market for a particular cryptocurrency suddenly drops, or if trading is halted due to recent news events, unusual trading activity, or changes in the underlying cryptocurrency system. Several federal agencies have also published advisory documents surrounding the risks of virtual currency. For more information see, the CFPB's Consumer Advisory, the CFTC's Customer Advisory, the SEC's Investor Alert, and FINRA's Investor Alert.

The Island's relationship with the EU is limited to Article 355 (5) (c) and Protocol 3 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union ("Protocol 3") which enables the Island to be part of the EU customs territory. There are some differences but it is the IoM entitlement to recover not the UK/IoM obligation to account for VAT. You must be a taxable person registered for VAT in the UK or in the Isle of Man.
