Nicolas Winding Refn is a Pirate-Loving Narcissist
The "Neon Demon" director gazes deep into the future
By Jordan Zakarin
Filed Under Movies & Amazon
Being in a room with Nicolas Winding Refn is like being circled by a peckish shark. The Danish filmmaker – in Manhattan to promote his icy showbiz nightmare – The Neon Demon, does not so much invite you in as accept your presence. After instructing you to take a seat on the sectional sofa, he paces around the room, answering your questions, but never once sinks to your level. He remains seemingly deep in thought, but it's not clear he's thinking about the conversation you're having.
In short, he acts like a character in one of his films, which have of late been dominated by quiet remove, deliberate (read: slow) pacing and the sudden shocks of piercing dialogue and hyper-violence. After breaking out in America with 2011's now-cult classic Drive, which featured Ryan Gosling as a near-mythical getaway driver without a name or a history, he moved on to Only God Forgives, which pushed Gosling deeper into a criminal underworld but eschewed all the quasi-superhero, forbidden-love-story elements that helped make Drive such a fan-favorite.
The Neon Demon, baked in light and cold to the touch, stars Elle Fanning as a young, outwardly naive model who blossoms into a monster of the fashion industry's creation. It's quiet, understatedly funny, and fills viewers with dread and guilt about their part in the beauty-industrial complex. But Refn's film, as he told Inverse, isn't so much a condemnation as it is an examination — or even a celebration — of our vapid culture. Refn spoke with Inverse about The Neon Demon, his vision for the future of film, and embracing the dark side.
Before we talk about Neon Demon, I have a burning question: Was it wrong to see Only God Forgives as a comedy?
There was a lot of humor in it, of course. You were right on, you were futuristic.
There were so few lines, and they were so specific. Did you feel like people missed that part?
I don't have an agenda in how people should or should not react, I'm more interested in how they do react.
But you were worried, as your wife's documentary about the film's production reveals, that it wouldn't live up financially to Drive, that people always wanted the same thing. So you were worried to some degree about the reception to it.
I wasn't worried so much about the reception personally, I was worried about the economics, because what really drives this business is money. So I just had to make sure it made money, which it did, thank god. When you knowingly go into destroy something that had been universally loved, by doing something completely different, it's always scary. But it's the only way to continue.
So by doing Only God Forgives, it was destroying Drive in a way.
It wasnt destroying Drive, I was just doing something very, very different.
American audiences like the same thing over and over again.
I think it's the general idea, that people want the same thing over and over again, because they know what they're getting. Or we as creators have a formula that we can just repeat. But that's the danger of creativity, the danger of an experience. You may want the same, the same, but maybe that's not the healthiest thing.
The Neon Demon felt just as much about show business and Hollywood. Not just fashion, but the film industry.
Oh yeah, the mythology of Hollywood. It's the sponge of everything we have around the world. Metropolitan cities lead back to Hollywood.
Do you live there now?
No, I live in Copenhagen. But I spend a lot of time there, shooting a lot of commercials. I love LA, absolutely love love love the city. But that's because I'm like Alice in Alice in Wonderland. It's so strange and beautiful. It's a bizarre place to visit, especially when you come from Copenhagen, which is the exact opposite. You really are like a stranger in a strange land there.
So is the movie a reflection of things you've seen, or a fairytale you thought up? Or is it a cautionary tale?
I think that's part of fairytales. They're very cautionary. Its always about a beautiful young girl who has to go on some kind of journey. All you have to do is read the Grimm's Fairytales and its all in text.
Were you working off that idea?
No, but I've read a lot of them, especially when I did Drive, which was very much like a fairytale in its DNA. This was the same thing.
And as a father to two young daughters, as you are, there's a personal element to this story, no?
Of course. It was kind of like, this is the future they're walking into. In order for us to deal with it, we have to accept it.
Its interesting that you say "accept it." Because you can watch it and easily say it's a rejection of that culture.
On the contrary. It's as much an intoxication of it is as it is a criticism. But I don't really critique something that I love, so it's kind of a constant struggle, the yin and the yang.
So how do you show something that is outrageous the fashion industry and LA without criticizing it?
You don't judge it, you just show it.
But doesn't sometimes showing something inherently create a criticism?
No, because I'm not criticizing it for all the things it's celebrated for, because I celebrate it myself.
So you're just as guilty.
Oh, absolutely. Everyone is. It's like the boyfriend in the movie, who sits there with all his good opinions about how beauty isn't everything. And then the fashion designer says to him, "Well if she wasn't beautiful, you wouldn't have stopped to look at her." We're all hypocritical.
*You said in that documentary that you weren't sure what Only God Forgives* was about, even as you were beginning production. Was that the same case here?
I knew it'd be about beauty, but I didn't have it really clear in my mind until I hired Elle Fanning. It was because of her that the film became clear. When I met her, I asked her, "Do you think you're beautiful?" And she said yes. And then I knew this film was a celebration of narcissism that it was always meant to be. I just didn't know it yet.
**I guess you're established enough that you can get a film going before really establishing the premise.
I have to deliver a script and everything. Everyone knows it changes.
Do you find compromises you have to make — are those positive in the end?
You don't look at it as a compromise, you look at it as an asset. Creativity is about turning your weaknesses, like a compromise, into a strength. So you say, "I don't have time to do all of this, so I'm going to do that. And that is the way we are going to solve it." That's not a compromise, that's a decision.
You made three Pusher movies. Would you want to make a second Drive movie?
No, there will never be a second Drive movie.
Because it ends too perfectly?
No, it ends too imperfectly. And that's why it works.
Have people — studios, financiers — wanted you to make another one?
There's been a lot of talk. But in the end studios didn't want to do it, originally.
Does it make it easier to have a backer like Amazon now?
Amazon has a whole set of opportunities that are very new to me, because of how big they are, how much potential they have.
What is the future of film?
Bright. Beautiful. And different. Because there will always be cinemas. But the digital revolution is forever. That concept is so new to us.
Do you like that people can stream this at home?
Of course. Why not?
Some filmmakers don't like that people can watch their movies on their iPhones.
I watch films on iPhones to understand the new canvas. Technology only allows you to adapt. It doesnt change the fact that this is a creative medium. Now you make movies for cinema and the iPhone. Thats a big scope.
So when you were making The Neon Demon, were you thinking that some people would watch it on their laptop, some on their iPhone? Did you plan for that?
I thought of it as people seeing it on YouTube, chopped up. Because every ten minutes, it reinvents itself. The same thing with Only God Forgives.
So they were segmented.
They were like installations as much as they are movies.
And you weren't worried that people would chop it up on YouTube.
On the contrary, I would invite them. I think technology is a beautiful possibility to create and consume. The rules of the future is not about what you make, it's about what you stand for.
So what do you stand for?
Singularity, unapologetic, no compromise. Three things that can never be taken away from you.

Hurricane Harvey slammed into the Texas and Louisiana coasts and caused widespread death, destruction, and damage. Although Houston didn't get the direct hit from the hurricane, we were on the dirty side of the storm. With two high-pressure systems keeping the storm in place, Houston and the surrounding areas received three-fourths of a normal year's worth of rain in two days!
This article is to share my personal preparedness experience and observations during the storm. Being from the area, this is not my first hurricane. But I've never seen this much destruction and devastation before. I've also never been in a situation where my house almost flooded. Again, this is my experience and I hope to help someone in the future who might be preparing for a storm.
Planning – You can't discount this piece of preparedness! Since this wasn't our first hurricane, we knew what to expect with the stores running out of supplies, the wind, rain and potential loss of power.
Because my family prepares, we had everything we would need. As the storm looked like it would hit the coast, we did go to the store and picked up a few cases of water for convenience, bread, milk, fruit and other items we would want if we were to be locked down in the house for a few days. This was early on in the track of the storm. Like usual, stores started running out of supplies the closer the hurricane was to landfall.
During the last big rainfall, my son's vehicle did get some water in it. This time around, we pulled up our vehicles as close to the house as possible. We squeezed three vehicles on a two car driveway with my son's vehicle a little on the yard. I was worried that the ground would get so soaked and his tires would sink into the grass, but it didn't happen. Luckily, my neighbor allowed us to park our fourth vehicle in her driveway. If we wouldn't have done that, we would have had a flooded out vehicle!
A Cool Head – Before I get into some of the items that worked for us, I need to talk about the importance of having a cool head and not panicking.
The stress of seeing the water get higher and higher is not something I can put into words. We used the fire hydrant across the street as a gauge to tell if the water was getting higher or receding. It was slow and steady, but the water kept rising.
One thing to remember is that although Houston has experience with hurricanes, we have never experienced this level of flooding. Our neighborhood had never experienced this level of flooding either. Seeing pictures on the news and then on social media let us all know how wide spread this was. In the past, one part of the city was usually inundated with water, but this event was city-wide!
The need for a cool head really came into focus when I received a call from my elderly neighbor. I could hear the panic in her voice. She called to tell me that a boat was on the way to pick her up and that I should be ready to evacuate. My neighbor didn't know where they were taking her. She didn't know when exactly they were coming, but she was leaving!
I shared the information with my wife but told her that I wouldn't be leaving. I wanted to stay behind and mitigate any water getting in the house as much as I could. My wife agreed and we stayed.
I wish I would have taken a picture. We were in our garage watching the water when the boat pulled up on her yard, all the way to her front door. It was a crazy scene. We later found out that the boat took her to a local grocery store parking lot and the National Guard took her to a local church. There, evacuees spent the night on a pew. I'm glad I didn't leave!
Outlite A100 Flashlight – I can't say enough about this flashlight. It runs on a 18650 Lithium-ion Battery or 3 AAA batteries. I use the 18650 battery and I'm very pleased with this little torch. After our lights went out, we used this flashlight to shine on the hydrant across the street to check the level of the water. When we needed to go into a room, it would easily stand up on its end and light up the entire room.
The batteries are purchased separately from the flashlight above. I purchased this setup that comes with the battery and a fast charger. Outlite 2PCS 18650 3600mAh 3.7V Protected Rechargeable Lithium Battery with Fast Li-ion Battery Charger.
Farberware Classic Stainless Steel Yosemite 8-Cup Coffee Percolator – After we lost power, I took out the old style percolator to make our morning coffee. I fired up the burner on my outdoor grill (to not warm up the house) and set the percolator on it. The percolator worked perfectly and made an excellent cup of coffee. The only downside to the coffee maker is how black the bottom side was charred. I should have known better and used the little trick I learned in Boy Scouts, put a thin layer of dish soap on the bottom side.
The percolator is stainless steel and did clean up alright. Next time, I'll use some soap though.
750w Inverter – After the rain slowed, I busted out a no name inverter that I purchased pre-Prepper Website. I connected the inverter to my truck battery, started the truck, ran an extension chord and plugged up my refrigerator. Although the inverter is a cheap, no name brand, it worked well and we were able to keep the refrigerator and freezer cold and didn't lose anything.
When you consider an inverter to run something like your refrigerator, you need a powerful enough inverter to start the compressor in your refrigerator. After the initial surge, the wattage levels off and you can plug more items into an electrical strip.
I suggest that every Prepper have an inverter to run electrical items when the power is out, or even when you're camping. Vehicles hold many gallons of gas. I ran my truck for 1 1/2 hours and didn't really see my gas gauge go down. If you don't have an inverter, you might consider this one that is rated well on Amazon – Cobra CPI 880 800 Watt 12 Volt DC to 120 Volt AC Power Inverter with 5 Volt USB output.
Ambient Weather WR-111B Radio – Until we lost power, we watched the local news and kept up with what was going on through social media. Even after we lost power, I would use the hotspot on my phone to get online and see what was going on around Houston. But after that first evening, there was some talk that we could be without power for an extended period of time. And not knowing how long we would be surrounded by water, I decided to save my various battery banks and solar chargers in case I needed them down the road.
But I still wanted to know what was going on. So I pulled out the Ambient Weather radio and tuned it into the local news. It is true that communication is a big deal in an emergency. You want all the information you can get to make informed decisions.
This little radio does a lot for such a small package. I was glad I had it.
Kogalla Solar Storage Bank – I did a review on the Kogalla back in March. It just works as a solar battery bank. You can check out my review for more information about this solar bank charger.
When we lost power, we used what little day light we had left to cook dinner and eat a good meal before we settled in for the evening. I used the burner on the grill to heat up pulled pork and we all ate sandwiches.
When it started getting dark, I let everyone know that I would be stationing the flashlights on the fireplace mantle. I wanted there to be a central location to keep all of our lights so they wouldn't get misplaced in the dark.
I also left a candle going in the living room (where we slept) so that we would have light in case anyone needed to get up in the middle of the night. The candle was the type in a big glass jar, so it had little chance of tipping over, plus I have older kids. You still need to proceed with caution when using candles, regardless of their type. We really didn't get any sleep though. We were up every hour checking the level of the water!
Rain Boots – I've been wanting to purchase rain boots for every member of the family. I just haven't done it yet! My son does have a pair that my father-in-law purchased for him when they go hunting, so I used those to walk out in the water to check the water level around the house. This is a purchase that I would like to make for everyone soon.
You DON'T want to be walking around in flood waters! More on that below.
Sandbags – At one point, I thought I would want some sandbags for the garage door and front door. Of course, this would have only helped to a certain point. Since I've never had to fill sandbags or used them before, I have no clue on what I would do afterward. Do you just store them in your backyard or do you go get rid of the sand somewhere?
We experienced gas shortages for a few days, but this was mostly hype. It settled down after a few days. And at this point, there are already refineries coming back online.
Grocery stores opened up with shortened hours. Some grocery stores around town had long lines and only allowed a few shoppers in at a time since they had limited staff. I didn't encounter this around my area, although we were hit hard. I was able to always walk right into the grocery store.
The only items that I wasn't able to find easily were eggs. Friends at church said this wasn't an issue for them, but for some reason, the grocery stores around us couldn't get enough. I also noticed that the chip aisle was always empty. More than likely, people wanted things they could easily snack on.
I didn't do too much driving around, but when I did, I noticed that fast food restaurants had long lines at all hours of the day. This might be due to people not wanting to cook and wanting something different from what they had stored for the storm.
I don't understand why people don't realize that flood waters can hold some nasty things! Many times, you will have raw sewage mixed with who knows what in the water! But even with the warnings that newscasters were giving, I still witnessed kids AND adults walking in waist deep water when they didn't need to. Many of these people were wearing shorts and flip flops. One young teenager passed my house, walking in waist deep water, without a shirt, without shoes and only wearing blue jeans. This wasn't safe!
It's one thing when you have to wade through water to evacuate, it is another thing when you willingly go into the water. If you have cuts or worse, you puncture your foot with debris in the water, you can get really sick! It's just not smart! Prepare to have the proper clothing and shoes!
Lastly, just because the water has receded in some parts, doesn't mean the city is in the clear. Things are starting to get back to some sort of normal, but the ramifications of this hurricane will be felt for a long time. It is estimated that only 20% of those who flooded have flood insurance. Some of these people are living paycheck to paycheck. They lost time at work and maybe even their vehicles. They can barely afford to make a living much less pay to repair their homes and buy new or used vehicles.
I also worry for those who don't remediate their homes correctly and wind up living with mold. And although I haven't personally heard of any looting (there are a ton of stories on social media, I don't know how true though), I believe that as people start feeling the financial crunch, that we will see crime increase.
All that saying that there might be more to add to my experiences and observations with the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey in a future article. For those interested, I have been discussing some of my observations on the podcast.
This event was a natural disaster. We have seen a lot of good and some bad. Luckily, the city and surrounding areas have had a ton of love and support from all over the United States. It was individuals that got busy and helped. Many people would still be left stranded and even died if we would have had to only rely on the government. It gets you thinking though, what would it look like if an event effected the whole nation at one time? Take responsibility for yourself and your family. Stay prepped and aware!

Thanks, Todd, I'm glad you and your family are safe for now. Thanks for the ideas and tips we can all use. We must be self-reliant.
When I moved from Washington, I gave away my small inverter from Harbor Freight. How stupid was that? Thanks for reminding us that we should never give away our preps unless it is to help someone in need.
Great article, Todd. Thanks for sharing it with the world.
Thanks Gaye! That inverter worked perfectly!
I lost my home and two cars to Harvey. In addition I lost all my preps that I had been working on for 5 years. So, preps are only good for an economic disaster, not for fire or flood in which case you lose everything. Having been through a SHTF flood I now find myself soured on the idea of prepping. I mean, what is the use of all that work just to have it wiped out?
I'm so sorry that you lost everything. I can't even imagine what you're going through. I know you are soured on prepping. Many of us reading your comment wouldn't blame you. This was a 1000 year event. It was so insane. Place flooded here in Houston that have never seen flooding.
I hope that you can eventually see the benefit to prepping again. This world is crazy and it can throw all kinds of things at you.
I've been looking for a high output LED flashlight that can remain in one mode (or only has one mode). The one you referenced, can it be turned off and on and remain in high output, or do you have to cycle through the modes to get back to what you want??
Good article. Glad you and yours are OK.
This Outlite will stay in one mode when you click it once. If you tap on the on and off button or click the on and off button multiple times to turn it on, it will cycle through the modes.
Thankful you were prepared for the event. Appreciate you sharing the firsthand account and what you learned. Very helpful.
And you're on point concerning flood waters. Nasty stuff!
I noticed you were offline for a day. I'm sure you lost your local internet. Did you lose cell service and cellular internet as well?
We lost the internet when we lost power. However, we never lost cell service, including the internet on our phones. I have a ton of battery chargers, but I wasn't sure how long the power was going to be out. We were told it could be days. It turned out to only be 24 hours.


The new website is launched! It finally became to redesign the look and feel, and completely consolidate the old website. Now instead of four or five pages to get where you need to go, you'll find just one. Play some songs (buy some songs), catch some tweets, and hit the links to other Hypersoul locations. It's hoped that you'll experience a much simpler and better looking site. Enjoy!


A new report from Fantha Tracks by way of Making Star Wars states that a "well placed" source within Lucasfilm confirms that an Obi-Wan Kenobi Star Wars Story is in the works. There were rumors that Stephen Daldry who directed The Hours was in talks to direct the film, but the source neither confirms nor denies it. The source has reportedly looked at Lucasfilm's plans for the film, however, and confirmed that activity to prepare for the making of the film has slowly started to happen at Disney's Pinewood Studios, where most of the Star Wars films have been shot. The report further went on to day that they are preparing to start shooting in April 2019 with a release date of December 2020. No word yet on exactly when in the Star Wars timeline that the film will be set.
John Rocha and Kristian Harloff sit down to give you their thoughts on this piece of news and if they think this report is the most solid indication that this film is happening. They also explore when we can expect this film to take place and if Ewan McGregor will be reprising the role for the movie.

Former Conservative Leader visits Rob Morrison on the campaign
Josiah Spyker, staff September 10, 2021

The former Conservative Party leader visited Rob Morrison and endorsed the Party's housing plan.
Deb Grey is a former MP and was the first female leader of the Opposition in Canadian history and she said housing is an important issue and the Conservative plan will help Canadians.
"Housing is a huge issue for everybody, I live on Vancouver Island, it's a big issue there and here it's a big issue," said Grey.
"The Conservative Party said they'll build one million new houses over three years and a part I really like is they'll sell 15 per cent of federal government housing units and office units."
Grey added that the government needs to look at more practical solutions that won't cost taxpayers as much money.
"The government has an incredible amount of real estate, let's ditch some of that and make sure we have affordable housing for people," added Grey.
"Why not do something practical like that rather than the federal government clinging on like grim death to a lot of these places, make it housing, make it work."
Grey also said the government needs to move away from CERB and encourage people to get back in the workforce.
"So many of these workers are on CERB, government subsidies and they need to be back working again because people need to work, people want to work and people pay taxes when they're working."
Grey added that the Conservatives if elected, are focusing on people's right to choose the services they want.
"I think one of the most important things we're offering is that you have the freedom to choose. I should have the freedom to choose where my kids go to school, I should have the freedom to determine who's going to give daycare to my kids."
Voters head to the polls on September 20th.

Q: Android Window title showing after requested not to show public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        Intent i = new Intent(this, BaseActivity.class);
        startActivity(i);
    }

and my next activity:
public class BaseActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_base);
    }

I still see blue bar with application name at top.
I tried changing my application manifest to use a no-title theme and the program crashed because the activities inherit from AppCompatActivity.
How do I inherit from AppCompatActivity and get rid of the application title name up top?

A: It's the actionbar, you can use the theme Theme.AppCompat.NoActionBar or Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar or a theme which descents from them.
To make disappear is the action bar also this should work:
getSupportActionBar().hide();

A: Try this...
If you don't want the action bar in your activity then,
Create a style
<style name="AppTheme.NoActionBar">
        <item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
        <item name="windowNoTitle">true</item>
</style>

and apply this style for the activity in Manifest for which you don't need action bar,
<activity android:name=".BaseActivity"
          android:theme="@style/AppTheme.NoActionBar"></activity>

A: Do this in your onCreate() method.
//Remove title bar
this.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);

//Remove notification bar
this.getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN, WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);

//set content view AFTER ABOVE sequence (to avoid crash)
this.setContentView(R.layout.your_layout_name_here);

this refers to the Activity
OR
You can modify your AndroidManifest.xml:
<activity android:name=".MainActivity"
          android:label="@string/app_name"
          android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Black.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen">

You can use this for each activity in your project.
OR
also change from style.xml
<style name="generalnotitle" parent="general">
    <item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>
</style>

Hope this helps you.

Hopefully the UN will ban Trident by the end of this year
By Readers of The National
Letter-writer Brian Quail, Angie Zelter and Sam Donaldson protest against the UK's nuclear weapons
THE triumph of xenophobic right-wing English nationalism in the recent election is undoubtedly a blow to all who seek peace. However, the success of the SNP in Scotland must give hope to CND supporters throughout the UK.
This sharp difference between the two nations illustrates vividly the existential and inseparable symbiosis between independence and opposition to Trident. Certain global events in 2020 highlight this connection.
1) In November, COP26, the UN climate change conference will see delegates from all over the world congregating in a city some 30 miles from the biggest arsenal of hydrogen bombs in Europe. People must see the connection. We live in a world where extinction can come quickly through climate change in 12 years, or instantly in 12 hours through nuclear annihilation. These issues are indivisible.

2) Hopefully, having reached the required 50 ratifications, the Treaty Prohibiting Nuclear Weapons (TPNW) agreed by 122 states in 2017 at the UN will become international law. In the same way as female genital mutilation, slavery or forced marriage – albeit traditional in certain states – are prohibited by the peremptory norms of international law, Trident will be banned. This must have repercussions on Scots law, which always prides itself on its independence. Perhaps ratification will galvanise our law lords to address the blatant illegality of Trident.
3) The fact that Pope Francis has condemned the possession of nuclear weapons as well as their use is a seismic shift in official Catholic teaching. No longer can nuclear apologists hide behind the shameful words of Cardinal Basil Hume, voiced in September 1983: "The deterrent may be tolerated, but for a time only". Morally, deterrence can no longer be tolerated.
4) This year will be the 700th anniversary of the Declaration of Arbroath. This seminal document established the priority of the people's will in Scotland. This is not a matter of ancient history, but is highly relevant today on the independence/Trident nexus. The will of the people, as expressed in the Scottish Parliament, is superior to diktat of the Queen's Cabinet in Westminster.
Since Trident cannot operate from anywhere else in the UK other than the Faslane/Culport complex, an independent, nuclear-free Scotland means an end for Trident in the UK. This alone would justify independence.

IT'S all very well for B McKenna (Letters, January 6) to point out how much the top earners in the executive paid salary brackets get either annually (£3.9 million), or hourly (£1,020), or even £29,574 for just 29 hours' work annually, and to say it is unfair is understandable in this divided world of economics and salaried earnings.
At least such executive types have a job to do and, in its own competitive world, are paid to succeed in whatever product is made and sold, while providing employment for hundreds or even thousands of personnel within that product-making company.
However, there is one collection of highly paid people who do not produce anything, (except maybe opinions), are not responsible for maintaining employment within a company, and never have to compete for their role and positions. They are, of course, those ladies and gentlemen in the House of Lords.
Every day they sign the attendance register entitles then to an immediate £300, regardless of whether they continue to attend the day. Most are of a retirement age being past 65 years, 75% in total, and the total annual bill for Scotland's own members is just short of £3 million. This was for the tax year of 2017/18.
The highest earner of that year collected £58,492 or £591 for each day. He is our very own peer David Steele. I can only presume this is a tax-free income, but will be happy to stand corrected.

I DO realise at this time of year depression can set in. The demise of opposition to Boris south of the Border, the world in crisis (both politically and climate-wise), the greed and selfishness of right-wing governments and big business all take their toll. The emotions that run high at Hogmanay all contribute. The lyrics of certain songs fuelled by alcohol also take effect, eg those of Caledonia (slightly adjusted) could read: "I don't know if you can see/The changes that have come over me/In the past few days I've been afraid/Independence might fade away !"
Daily I meet many nice, fair-minded people from all walks of life and cultures. But unfortunately they are not deciding the bigger picture. It's so frustrating. Scotland is most certainly a different country. We most certainly need to take charge. Social disorder should not be ruled out. So please take heed, Nicola. The longer we deliberate, the more it increases the likelihood of independence drifting away.

Q: Lua not fitting the hash causes compiling errors? I'm using a Lua developer environment called Lua on the iPad.
This hash works and compiles:
imgs = {readImage (spriteexample1, pos.x, pos.y), readImage(spriteexample2, pos.x,
pos.y), readImage(spriteexample3, pos.x, pos.y), readImage(spriteexample4, pos.x,
pos.y), readImage(spriteexample5, pos.x, pos.y), readImage(spriteexample6, pos.x, pos.y)}

(It cuts off on the second line after spriteexample4 on my screen.) The problem is, when I go on to the third line to add two more sprites as values, it tells me I must close the brackets on the first line. Any help?

A: If I copy the code you have and run it (after defining a bogus readImage() function and pos={x=0,y=0}), no problem, so there must be a weird character like perhaps a UTF-8 character that shows up normal in your editor but interpreter doesnt' like. Try opening the file in a tool like notepad++ with View | Show SYmbol | Show all characters.

Unfortunately, Nintendo decided not to include a video player with the Switch so if you want to watch any video on it, you'd better hope it's available on YouTube (or the few other services like Hulu/Nico Nico that have an app for the Switch). However, that problem is being fixed by work from the homebrew scene so that you could watch anything on your Switch.
First, we got PlayerNX (without audio) and now, a video player has been integrated into NX-Shell's code by its developer, Joel16.

The Vero platform's upstream and downstream processing stages are designed for maximum efficiency and safety, as well as purity of the final vaccine product.
Despite many recent advances in vaccine development technology, the actual process of bringing new vaccines to the clinical trial stage often remains cumbersome and slow. Even the most elaborate recombinant technologies and vector systems may not integrate smoothly into an existing manufacturing pipeline, and inefficiencies and safety issues may emerge at any step of the process.
The Vero cell platform vaccine production technology is able to address many of these issues, providing a streamlined system for the rapid development of novel vaccines for emerging viruses. Vero has already proven effective in quickly developing vaccines to combat avian influenza, SARS, alphavirus, flavavirus, and other evolving viral threats.
The platform's key advantages lie in its rigorously validated pipelines for quickly generating, inactivating and purifying large batches of viruses, in order to rapidly produce safe, tested formulations ready for regulatory approval. This streamlined series of pipelines proceeds in five major stages: propagation of cells and viruses, replication, harvesting and inactivation, purification, and finally formulation and filling.
The following is a more detailed breakdown and analysis of each of those five stages.
The Vero platform's upstream processing moves cells rapidly from propagation to inactivation.
Following an initial period of cell culturing in roller bottles, the cells are passaged and expanded on microcarriers. This propagation and expansion takes place at three increasing scales of fermenter culture systems, leading to the generation of a final batch at the 6000-liter scale required for actual production of the host cells.
Meanwhile, the target virus has been separately propagated to the necessary scale in a tiered virus bank system. This simultaneous propagation of viruses and host cells enables the 6000-liter cell culture to be infected as soon as its final generation is generated. This infected cell culture is then incubated for the required timeframe, allowing the viruses within the cells to replicate on the necessary scale.
Once the culture has generated the required amount of virus, the microcarriers in the culture supernatant are separated from the cell debris in a sieve tank and separator, yielding the harvest of infectious virus. Immediately after filtration, this harvested virus is treated with benzonase, a recombinant endonuclease produced in E. coli bacteria, in order to digest any remaining DNA from the host cells.
The final upstream stage is inactivation of the virus. Sequential formaldehyde is used to break down protein, after which ultraviolet irradiation (UV) eliminates residual nucleic acid. These two-step inactivation conditions are designed to provide an inactivation time at least twice the required minimum, ensuring that no infectious virus remains after the formaldehyde step alone.
Following formaldehyde and UV inactivation, the virus harvest is transferred from the inactivation tank, over a UV thin layer chamber, and directly into bags. These bags are then irradiated with an additional UV dose, to widen the safety margin even further. Although the precise inactivation time must be optimized for each type of virus treated, the Vero platform's pipeline is designed to provide safety margins that well exceed required minimums.
Downstream processing includes two rapid purification steps, leading smoothly to formulation and filling.
Following the inactivation of the virus yield, the Vero pipeline then moves the harvest into the downstream processing stages. These stages consist of two distinct purification steps, which concentrate the virus as densely as possible without damaging its structure, and remove any residual matter from the host cells, resulting in a highly pure, extremely concentrated product, ready to be introduced into formulations and filled into its delivery system.
In the first of these downstream purification stages, ultracentrifugation is used to concentrate the product. This is done with a sucrose gradient, in order to separate the virus material from other matter based on its relative density. After this initial purification, the resulting virus product is homogenized, via a second benzonase treatment that digests any minuscule remnants of DNA from the host cells. Ultra- and/or diafiltration is then used to remove any remaining impurities.
Once the pure, concentrated product has been obtained, it is ready to be added to its pharmaceutical formulation. Finally, the formulation is filled into its delivery system. One common addition during the filling stage is an alum adjuvant, which may increase the response of the subject's immune system to the inactivated virus.
This entire process might take months on a conventional egg-based pipeline; but the high efficiency of the Vero platform's highly standardized manufacturing process delivers a much shorter and more flexible production cycle. Meanwhile, Vero's intensive safety and purity protocols yield highly safe formulations that fall well within regulatory guidelines.
In fact, the success of Vero cells over the past decade has given the Vero platform worldwide recognition among virologists and epidemiologists. Vero cells are already accepted by regulatory authorities in more than 60 countries; a fact that significantly streamlines the process of licensure and regulatory approval.
All these benefits combine into an extremely agile platform that can deliver entirely novel vaccines in time to combat emerging viral threats, at prices that are reasonable to the World Health Organization (WHO) and other emergency responders.

In 1978, Dallas, one of the longest-running American primetime drams, premiered on CBS. The show became a hallmark of 1980s television, one of the most iconic of the era's many primetime soaps. For 14 seasons, Dallas charted the exploits and entanglements—business, familial, romantic, and otherwise—of the Ewings, a wealthy Texas oil family.
American viewers weren't the only ones to follow the Ewings closely through all their dirty deeds, dream seasons, and cliffhanger episodes. In 1979, Dallas premiered in Romania, a country then struggling to stake out its own identity between the twin poles of Western and Eastern influence. Despite the strict limits set on the influx of Western cultural products by Romanian Communist Party leader Nicolae Ceaușescu, communist Romania enjoyed the importation of American TV programs until the early 1980s. Dallas played on Romanian television for four seasons, until living conditions in the country plummeted and funding for rights to the series dried up.
After Romania opened back up to the West in the 1990s, Dallas aired in full and uncensored, once again becoming a massive hit with Romanian audiences. In particular, the scheming and dirty dealing of J.R. Ewing resonated with Romanian businessmen, many of whom modeled themselves after their favorite American robber baron.
The new documentary Hotel Dallas, from filmmaking couple Livia Ungur and Sherng-Lee Huang, focuses on Dallas' impact and influence on Romania. The titular "Hotel Dallas" is the Hermes Ranch, a luxury resort designed by corrupt vegetable-oil tycoon Ilie Alexandru, the so-called "J.R. of Romania," who was imprisoned for fraud and tax evasion in 2000. In addition to a replica of the Southfork homestead from Dallas, his ranch also includes a scale model of the Eiffel Tower.
The story of the Hermes Ranch and its owner are only a departure point into deeper subjects for Ungur and Huang. The couple runs a little loose with the facts, reinterpreting key scenes from Romanian history in the style of Dallas and casting Ungur's father in the role of Ilie Alexandru. Though the film includes interview segments with Romanian citizens about their memories of both Dallas and life under communism, Hotel Dallas is less concerned with a strict recreation of the past than it is with how we remember and commemorate it. Hotel Dallas might be better described not as a documentary, but as a dream journal, a record of half-remembered recollections of a country and time that no longer exist.
Hotel Dallas feels specifically cathartic for Ungur, who was born in Romania the same year that Dallas premiered there. In 2004, after winning the United States' annual green-card lottery, she moved to New York City; eventually she married Knoxville native Sherng-Lee Huang, her creative partner. To have grown up in a country that, for all intents and purposes, no longer exists, to have a feeling of a place but not a clear view of it, is an experience that's hard to comprehend. The intimate nature of Hotel Dallas allows for a greater understanding of that emotional and mental state.
Dreams are essential not only to Hotel Dallas but to Dallas itself; Bobby Ewing, the noble and beloved younger brother of J.R., was brought back from the dead after season nine of the series was revealed to have been a dream. In order to retell her own journey, Ungur and Huang cast Patrick Duffy, who played Bobby, as a version of himself. As Ungur guides Duffy across Romania, the two move backward in time, Duffy attempting to find his way home to Dallas. We weave in and out of different eras, formats, languages, and film genres on the journey. Duffy's appearance might be odd and unexpected, but the familiarity of his voice lends the film an added poignancy, while also underscoring its more surreal qualities.
Hotel Dallas is a number of things, but a strict or standard work of documentary film is not one of them. It is simultaneously an ode to a gilded TV drama from a now bygone age, a conversation about life under communism, a behind-the-scenes featurette, and a musical about vegetable oil. In the film's most successful sequence, Ungur and Huang even remix and recontextualize footage from the 1947 John Wayne Western Angel and the Badman.
But more than all this, Hotel Dallas is a film about the slippery nature of our own memories. Ungur and Huang attempt to look at not only the larger world, but the private sector of their own experiences, through more than the stained-glass television set we often recall our lives through. Memories are like the food in your mouth; the taste only lasts while you're chewing. Hotel Dallas tries to hold on to the flavor a little longer.
The Public Cinema presents Hotel Dallas at the Knoxville Museum of Art (1050 World's Fair Park) on Sunday, Nov. 13, at 2 p.m. Admission is free.
CORRECTION: An earlier version of this story misspelled the name of one of the codirectors of Hotel Dallas. It is Livia Ungur, not Ungar.

M93 - The bee stung the horse and the rider is thrown.
MINOAN / (Text translated by Google) / Horse center of our table could very well be other than Minoan, so it looks like the usual interpretation of the horses on Celtic coins. By cons, these similarities are particularly common with the usual iconography of Central Asia. What is not so surprising, given that the Minoans might be from!
Returning to our table, which does not leave much of interpretations other than your scribe: A bee, not a scorpion as often suggested, just have one of his legs torn off by our equine hoof. Immediate response to our wasp, a jet of venom targeted to our horse, who has already sensed the attack, without our rider has taken the precautions provided. And this, perhaps the greatest evil of our dog, the wrong place at the wrong time! Top left, a hieroglyphic sign, perhaps a plant of the island early Minoan writing, well before the birth of Linear A or B. Writing contemporary Egyptian hieroglyphs as some Minoan Crete as well as people have been found in pyramids on the walls of tombs. The Minoans were called "red men" by the Egyptians and they were easily recognizable on these frescoes millennia thanks to their three ridges on the tops of their heads.


We Are All The Same But Different reveals the systematic suffering of industrially farmed animals. Presenting viewers with the realities of animal agriculture, it asks them to challenge their current attitudes and reach new conclusions about how human society treats animals it deems consumable property.
The work includes stop-motion animation, footage of animals growing up inside the factory farm system, and an experiential, interactive installation component. The artist's own story about the inner workings of factory farming offers viewers a personal narrative and relationship to her subject. Based on a foundation of activism, the work encourages a different approach by viewers who leave the installation with a change of heart and a desire to create positive transformation in the world.
Lindsay Moffat is and artist/activist investigating the connections between human and non-human animals. Focusing particularly on how humans view animals that are farmed for consumption. Through video and animation Lindsay explores the complicated layers of this controversial topic; while confronting the parallels between the treatment of marginalized people and living beings born into the factory farming system.


Another in a series of state Fish and Wildlife salmon season setting meetings wrapped up today (Wednesday, March 27) at Lynnwood Embassy Suites.
Nothing definitive on specific fishing seasons was released as state and tribal fishery managers are still nailing down issues. Details should start to come to light at the final Pacific Fishery Management Council meetings April 6-11 at the Sheraton Portland Airport Hotel in Portland, Oregon.
One of the major topics discussed by sport anglers at the Lynnwood meeting was reducing the chinook minimum size limit from 22-inches to 20-inches during the winter marked-selective hatchery chinook fisheries.
Marked-selective hatchery chinook fisheries are those where anglers can only keep hatchery fish that are identified by a missing adipose fin meaning.
Many sport fishing constituents at the meeting supported reducing the minimum size limit, and say a lot of the fish encountered during the winter are 20- to 21-plus inches.
While the support is there for lowering the size limit, one of the main concerns is what effect this will have on fisheries like early inseason closures and impacts on wild fish encounters.
"Anytime you increase the harvest, you increase the scrutiny of the fisheries," said Steve Thiesfeld, a state Fish and Wildlife Puget Sound salmon manager.
State Fish and Wildlife intends to send a proposal on reducing the minimum size to their tribal co-managers by Friday, March 29.

Shannon Herklotz, assistant chief of detentions at the Harris County Jail, is leaving the county sheriff's office, amid overcrowding and a rise in deaths.

The head of the embattled Harris County Jail has resigned from his post, as the lockup continues to struggle with inmate deaths, staffing woes and overcrowding.
In a letter submitted Monday to Sheriff Ed Gonzalez, Shannon Herklotz, assistant chief for detentions, expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to lead the jail, but said the confluence of issues at the lockup, combined with a new direction in sheriff's office leadership, compelled him to give up the job. He cited the COVID-19 pandemic, staffing deficiencies, court backlogs, overcrowding and the transition of jail medical services from the sheriff's office to Harris Health among the many challenges he faced at the helm.
"While I pushed myself to new limits, the results were not always what I/we expected. I have no regrets and there is very little that I would change," Herklotz told Gonzalez in his letter. "However, I feel that you and (Chief Deputy Mike Lee) want to move in a new direction and I do not feel as I have a place in that vision. I respect your decision(s)."
Herklotz, who arrived to lead the jail two years ago, had recently been demoted and forced to take a salary cut, according to information provided by the sheriff's office. He is one of four high-ranking employees who have been reassigned, departed or given notice since the department underwent a structural overhaul in the wake of Chief Deputy Edison Toquica's retirement in October, said Jason Spencer, the sheriff's chief of staff. Eight other employees have been promoted to command positions in the same timeframe.
More from Sam González Kelly: Some of 'prison TikTok's' biggest stars converged in Houston's EaDo. Here's how it went.
Spencer said the department's restructuring involved a change in title for Herklotz from chief of detentions to assistant chief for detentions command, and a corresponding reduction in pay. It also meant that Herklotz no longer answered directly to Sheriff Gonzalez, but instead reported to Chief Deputy Mike Lee.
Herklotz did not respond to multiple requests for comment on Wednesday.
Herklotz joined the department in 2021 after more than 20 years with the Texas Commission on Jail Standards, where he most recently served as deputy director. He was immediately confronted with the herculean task of reversing the jail's downward trend, as the lockup struggled with low staffing, inmate suicides and overcrowding due to Hurricane Harvey and COVID-19, along with allegations of abuse and unsafe conditions.
Conditions at the jail only worsened, however, with inmate deaths climbing to 20 in 2021, according to the Texas Justice Initiative, and 27 in 2022, the most since at least 2005. Two people have died in the jail's custody in the new year, one of whom was being held on a $100 misdemeanor bond and had reportedly been involved in a physical altercation with guards.
In December 2021, a 60-year-old guard was raped by a 27-year-old inmate, according to a news release from the sheriff's office. The sheriff was later reprimanded by the state's jail oversight agency last fall for keeping 64 defendants in the booking area beyond the 48-hour mandated limit following their arrest.
Herklotz highlighted some of the daily challenges guards face, while offering a glimpse of his perspective on the thousands of inmates in the county facility, the majority of whom are awaiting trial.
"While working in the jail is not a glamorous or flashy job, it is a noble profession and one that needs to be recognized as such. These people walk amongst some of the most violent and evil people on this earth. Yet, they continue to toe the line under less than ideal circumstances on a daily basis," Herklotz wrote in his resignation letter.
Another concern for Herklotz was that overcrowding has grown so bad that the jail has been forced to outsource inmates to facilities in West Texas and Louisiana. Herklotz sounded exasperated last summer when the sheriff proposed sending inmates to West Texas.
INVESTIGATIONS: After fire deaths grow, Texas prisons ask for safety funding
"I just don't have any available beds to put inmates that are coming in. So, the rate they're coming in is exceeding the rate they're going out. I'm just out of room," he told the Houston Chronicle in July.
Spencer said many issues facing the jail were beyond Herklotz's control, and noted that detention centers around the country are struggling with similar problems.
"It would be an oversimplification to say it's one person or one agency's job to fix," Spencer said. "All these different entities — various law enforcement agencies and prosecutors, healthcare providers, judges, the sheriff's office — are all cogs in the criminal justice system, and when that system creates a backlog where we have more people coming in than leaving, you have a crowding situation like we have."
The jail's population had surpassed its 10,000 person limit on Wednesday, according to county data.
"We know it's a priority for all those people and there's progress being made, but it doesn't change the fact that it's a serious situation," Spencer said.
Spencer said that a replacement for Herklotz had not immediately been identified but that the department has engaged in "preliminary conversations" about a search and the qualifications the sheriff will look for in the next detentions chief. Herklotz's last day with the department is Jan. 20.

Sec. 1 Authority of the Board. The Legislature, which is given the duty and authority to provide for the maintenance, support, and direction of The University of Texas by Article VII, Section 10 of the Texas Constitution, has delegated the power and authority to govern, operate, support, and maintain The University of Texas System to the Board of Regents. (See Texas Education Code Section 65.11 et seq. and Section 51.352.) Texas court cases construing these statutes have held that the Board has wide discretion in exercising its power and authority and that the rules adopted by the Board have the same force as statutes. The System's lands and buildings are State of Texas property subject to the control of the Board as the State's agent.
Sec. 2 Amendment or Suspension of Rules. The Regents' Rules and Regulations may be added to, amended, waived, or suspended by a majority of all of the members of the Board of Regents present at any regular meeting or at any special meeting called for that purpose.
Sec. 3 Duties and Responsibilities of Each Regent.
3.1 In carrying out the duties and responsibilities referenced in Section 1 above, it is the responsibility of each Regent to be knowledgeable in some detail regarding the operations, management, finances, and effectiveness of the academic, research, and public service programs of the U. T. System, and each member of the Board of Regents has the right and authority to inform himself/herself as to the duties, responsibilities, and obligations of the member. Members of the Board of Regents are to be provided access to such information as will enable them to fulfill their duties and responsibilities as Regents of the U. T. System.
3.2 Information requests for data or for the compilation of information by an individual member of the Board will be processed in compliance with Regents' Rule 10801 concerning Transparency, Accountability, and Access to Information.
3.3 A Regent may not publicly disclose information that is confidential, by law, unless disclosure is required by law or made pursuant to a vote of the Board to waive an applicable privilege.
In addition, the use or disclosure of information that has not been made public may implicate the provisions of Texas Penal Code Section 39.06 (Misuse of Official Information).
3.4 Members of the Board shall bring concerns about operations, accountability, compliance, or the need for an investigation to the Chancellor, Chairman, Board, or an appropriate Committee of the Board.
3.5 Members of the Board will at all times respect the role of the Chancellor as the chief executive officer of the U. T. System and will at all times respect management and reporting lines for U. T. System and institutional employees.
3.6 Each member of the Board must attend an intensive short orientation course as required by Texas Education Code Section 61.0841 developed by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, and training sponsored or coordinated by the Office of the Governor on the first opportunity after taking the oath of office. No member of the Board may vote on a budgetary or personnel matter until the intensive short course is completed.
4.1 The Board will conduct a self-evaluation of its responsibilities and expectations at least every two years. The Board may also choose to engage in an additional self-evaluation upon the election of a new Chairman.
(f) Board's method for identifying and addressing potential Regental conflicts of interest.
Sec. 5 Communication with Faculty, Staff, and Administration. Members of the Board of Regents are to be provided access to such personnel as in their individual judgments will enable them to fulfill their duties and responsibilities as Regents of the U. T. System.
5.1 The regular channel of communication from members of the Board to the faculty, staff, and administration is through the Chancellor, the appropriate Executive Vice Chancellor, and the president of the institution involved, and a copy of any communication sent by a Regent directly to any member of the faculty, staff, or administration should be furnished to the Chancellor, the appropriate Executive Vice Chancellor, and the president of the institution involved; however, individual Board members are not precluded from direct participation and communication with the presidents, faculty, staff, and students of the U. T. System.
5.2 Official materials for members of the Board of Regents shall be sent to the Office of the Board of Regents for distribution to the Board.
Sec. 6 Public Statements on Controversial Matters. The Board of Regents acts to determine the official position of the U. T. System or the Board of Regents on matters of an obviously controversial nature.
6.1 Statements on such matters on behalf of the Board or the U. T. System shall be made by the Chairman of the Board or the Chancellor.
6.2 Except as allowed in this Rule, no Regent, officer, or employee shall make or issue any public statement on an obviously controversial subject which might reasonably be construed as a statement of the official position of the U. T. System or the Board of Regents without the advance approval of the Board. Each institution's Handbook of Operating Procedures may specify the institutional officers authorized to speak on behalf of the institution.
6.3 It is not the intent of this policy statement to stifle the right of freedom of speech of anyone speaking in a personal capacity where that person makes it clear by an express statement that he or she is not speaking for the U. T. System or the Board of Regents.
6.4 Except in unusual circumstances, Regents are expected to coordinate media contacts with and to provide advance notice to the U. T. System Office of External Relations regarding any media contacts and press statements.

Members of the Board are expected to use U. T. System email addresses for all communications related to public business or public policy over which the Board of Regents has supervision or control.
