Rapid Run Park is another one of those locations that somehow got a reputation for being haunted, without anyone knowing why. Originally called Lick Run Park, it was built in the 20's and renamed Rapid Run Park in the early 40's. It's best known for its pavilion and reflecting pond, but the supposed ghosts are said to hang out elsewhere.
All the spectral sightings take place at night (as one would expect), and always in one of 3 areas. There's said to be a little boy who hangs out and plays on the swing set at the top of the hill. Even when he's not actually seen, some report the swings will start moving by themselves. Others claim to see figures near the shelter by the baseball field, that will disappear before their eyes. And lastly, somehow the Native Americans have been brought into it, as some say they see the spirits of them roaming the woods at the back of the park.
The only reason I can think of that the park got its reputation as being haunted is due to the fact that there are cemetery's all around it. Next to it, across the street from it, and the Price Hill Potter's Field behind it. In fact, I thought I read somewhere once that part of the original Potter's Field was actually on park property. I may be wrong on that, as I couldn't find anything about it when I looked this time. But it's entirely possible, as the two are right next to each other.
The park closes at 10:00 pm, so get your ghost hunting in before then. It's located at 4450 Rapid Run Parkway.
Can you visit this location?
This is a public park, open to visitors during hours specified by them. After hours, it's trespassing.

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton leads by 13 percentage points in the race for the Democratic nomination in Michigan, according to a Monmouth poll released Monday.
The poll showed support for Clinton at 55 percent, while Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) stood at 42 percent. This is consistent with most polling of the state, which has shown Michigan voters heavily favor Clinton, usually by a margin of more than 10 percentage points.
TPM's PollTracker Average shows Clinton at 60.1 percent in the state, followed by Sanders at 37.1 percent.
The Monmouth poll was carried out by live telephone interview from March 3-6. Pollsters surveyed 302 people likely to vote in the Democratic primary, with a margin of error of 5.6 percentage points.

Gerard ter Borch is the first exhibition dedicated to this important seventeenth-century Dutch genre painter and portraitist in thirty years, and its accompanying catalogue simultaneously serves as the only comprehensive study on the artist to appear in English to date. The catalogue is smaller than that of the exhibition that took place in The Hague and Münster in 1974, and smaller still than Sturla J. Gudlaugsson's truly monumental study of Terborch that appeared in 1959–60. Nevertheless, the present exhibition and catalogue open up some new avenues of inquiry, which is only natural given scholarly trajectories in the field over the past four decades. The pictures were displayed sensibly, revealing a surprisingly protean artist in terms of subject matter, particularly during his early career. The arrangement also allowed viewers the opportunity to explore the question of potential pendants in Terborch's work or, perhaps more significantly, to consider the problem of this celebrated master's atelier. That Terborch oversaw a workshop certainly seems plausible, even if Gudlaugsson scarcely broached the topic in his otherwise exemplary monograph. We do know that Caspar Netscher was Terborch's pupil, and his most talented one at that. But in the absence of any additional archival data, evidence of potential workshop participation in Terborch's production presently lies solely in the paintings themselves. The nearly identical replication of costumes, figures, and occasionally entire pictures suggests a pressing demand for Terborch's work among his clientele; thus, the question of whether the sometimes-repetitive nature of his imagery was the result of studio intervention certainly merits further exploration. The exhibition and catalogue are to be commended for raising these important issues.
The catalogue contains three essays by Arthur K. Wheelock, Jr., Alison McNeil Kettering, and Arie Wallert, followed by fifty-two entries on the exhibited paintings (by Wheelock, Kettering, and Marjorie E. Wieseman). An appendix contains a valuable transcription and English translation of a letter that Terborch's father and mentor, Gerard ter Borch the Elder, wrote to his son in 1635 during the latter's sojourn in London. Wheelock's essay, an overview of Terborch's life and work, essentially constitutes a synthesis of earlier scholarship on the artist but still contains many valuable observations. To this reviewer, however, perhaps too much influence is imputed to Terborch's immediate family circle as a catalyst for his truly stupendous genre paintings and their progressive effect upon the development of Dutch genre painting. Formative were works executed between the very late 1640s and 1654, the year in which the young painter relocated to provincial Deventer in Overijssel, the hometown of his bride. Wheelock intimates that having spent this period in the rather isolated settings of Zwolle and Deventer, Terborch was out-of-touch with mainstream artistic developments. Yet this period in his career was actually marked by a great deal of travel within the heavily urbanized province of Holland, much of it apparently sparked by commissions, business with art dealers, and contacts with other artists, including Johannes Vermeer, a fledgling painter when he and Terborch jointly signed a document in Delft in 1653. The connections Terborch cultivated at that time would serve him well in the subsequent decades. Admittedly, various members of the artist's family (and his aforementioned pupil, Netscher) served as models for his genre paintings—though labels in the exhibition tended overzealously to identify too many figures in these pictures as the artist's kin—but surely Terborch's numerous thematic and stylistic innovations owe much more to the initial stimulus of genre painters of the preceding generation and those of his own, among them, Willem Duyster, Gerrit Dou, Jacob van Loo, Gerbrand van den Eeckhout, and even David Teniers the Younger in distant Antwerp, to whom Wheelock astutely refers in other parts of the catalogue.
Kettering's contribution addresses the tantalizing issue of Terborch's art as a representative of the so-called modern mode. Throughout the seventeenth-century, one finds references in inventories, art-theoretical writings, and diaries to pictures containing "modern figures," or to those having been painted in the "modern manner." Generally, these disparate sources invoke this rather nebulous term as a descriptor for paintings with contemporary subjects whose figures don modish dress. Kettering asserts that in addition to subject matter, the modern manner also implied "a formal approach that emphasized the skillful imitation of natural appearances" (21). Terborch's own father encouraged him to paint modern compositions, and the result was genre paintings of fashionable figures that were uncanny for their anecdotal subtlety, their psychological innuendo and tension created by scenes and situations left deliberately ambiguous for the delectation of beholders already captivated by dazzling pictorial effects.
Foremost among these stupendous effects was the eye-catching appearance of various stuffs and textures, especially satin. Terborch's unrivaled ability to render satin, a skill for which he was celebrated in his lifetime as well as by later generations of art lovers. In his adroit hands, shimmering satin, epitomized by the apparel of standing women, became an agent of empathic projection for viewers, allowing them to weave narratives of vicarious participation from the luminous imagery before them. In a memorable article published some years ago, Ernst van de Wetering argued that the complexities of rendering satin draped over the human form made it incumbent upon seventeenth-century Dutch painters to study real samples to ensure their proper replication, a practice endorsed by art theorists of the time. The reproduction of satin in a genre painting was a labor-intensive endeavor; in this respect, Terborch's garments betokened value in both a figurative and a commercial sense for the prospective buyer. Arie Wallert's essay on the artist's working methods challenges van de Wetering's hypothesis, proposing that the spectacularly rendered satin dresses in Terborch's paintings, which so often closely resemble one another, were the result of the repeated transfer to various canvases of detailed drawings of the actual fabric that had been executed much earlier. This obviously has ramifications for the problem of studio participation in Terborch's work that was noted above. The question, of course, is whether contemporary buyers recognized the ersatz quality of these fabrics or were even concerned by it. After all, somewhere in the initial stages of this process, genuine satin had indeed been methodically studied by the master himself.
The catalogue entries that follow are generally illuminating, though now and then, to my mind, questionable statements are made. For example, otherwise perceptive and beautifully written entries on portraits suggest repeatedly that the black attire donned by Terborch's sitters connotes modesty and soberness. To the contrary, the research of Irene Groeneweg has unequivocally demonstrated that these garments were linked to international court protocol and thus betokened luxury and status, not unlike tuxedos and other formal wear in our own culture. (Interestingly enough, one of the labels in the exhibition correctly understood the significance of black attire for contemporary audiences.) Likewise, the entries on genre paintings occasionally contain debatable observations. Hence the statement that the attentive female's gesture in The Suitor (cat. no. 30) "could be construed as an invitation for intercourse…" (124). This hypothesis is wholly inconsistent with the dignified, genteel tone of the painting, one inherent to nearly all of Terborch's representations of this type. Moreover, gestures were rigidly codified in early modern Europe; if the woman is indeed making an obscene one, she does so incorrectly. The position of her hands superficially resembles the fig gesture in which the thumb is placed between the forefingers in mock imitation of coitus. But the fig gesture in art (and life) is always made with one hand, not two, and, equally important, is invariably shown in lascivious contexts as opposed to what is depicted here.
These negative, niggling comments aside, it can be said that the catalogue entries are generally informative and serve to bring the reader up-to-date with current scholarship on Terborch. In sum, both the exhibition and catalogue provide major contributions to the ongoing study of this fascinating master.

HomeDeconstructing Woody
Woody and Moses, yesterday.
From inventing a racism epidemic by pretending hate crime reports are the same as convictions to demanding heads roll because a researcher claims an MP once leered at her while she ate a Pepperami, modern progressives love nothing more than taking a huge shit on due process. Luckily, while our legal system stubbornly refuses to imprison people just because Twitter tells them to, the rest of us have marched on towards a bright future in which the power to determine guilt rests with hysterical leftists rather than coffin-dodging judges.
But there's still work to be done. Because while reports of hate crime have risen, prosecutions have dropped. Nightmare. Predictably, Tory trolls argued this proved the spike was due to lily-livered liberals contacting the police because they overheard a schoolboy call his mate queer, when any idiot knows it's clearly because racist cops refuse to take hatred seriously. Despite the fact that they've gone out of their way to re-define everything from Nigel Farage tweets to knock-knock jokes as violent assaults on par with a knife in the cheek.
So it's left to us to act as judge and jury. (And executioner if needed. Just sayin'.) Sadly, some still don't get it. So for every brave Labour MP who reacts to being accused of an unspecified crime by doing the decent thing and hanging himself, there are millions of privileged white males rubbing their victims' noses in it, whining about their 'right' to a fair trial. And few are as privileged as four-eyed kiddy-fiddler Woody Allen.
For 25 years sick Allen has avoided prison just because there is virtually no evidence to back up the claim that he molested his 7-year-old daughter. Indeed, anyone with an hour to spare can easily find a wealth of information supporting the misogynist theory that Mia Farrow made the whole thing up. Needless to say, these heinous sources should be avoided like a plague of Blairites.
As those familiar with the narrative know, the only articles you need to read are those written by Ronan Farrow, the only legal mind whose opinion is worth a dime is Frank S. Maco, and the only victim you should ever believe is Dylan Farrow. Exposing yourself to anything that contradicts the 'Woody Is A Paedo' meme is highly dangerous. Luckily, few of us do. Indeed, most of social media is convinced that in 1992, while visiting the home of the woman he had just acrimoniously split up with, Allen suddenly decided to throw caution to the wind and drag his daughter upstairs to sexually assault her. In full view of several children, nannies and people who hated him.
But it's not just the Mary Whitehouse mob who are determined to see a man they know nothing about spend his remaining years presumed guilty of one of the worst crimes imaginable. Brilliantly, a raft of movie stars and Moira Sorvino have put their careers on the line and vowed never to work with Allen. Even the ones who already have.
Several steely journalists joined in too, gleefully sticking two fingers up at the same libel law they lauded when it cost Katie Hopkirk 25 grand for getting one non-binary gobshite mixed up with another. And while searching for Woody-related articles telling me what I wanted to hear I stumbled upon an extraordinary piece in the most unlikely place: evil Murdoch rag The Sun. Yes, really.
I was initially devastated to see something this full of love in a paper literally bursting with hate. But last month's column by Lorraine Kelly was so downright virtuous it could've been from The New European. 'If Woody Allen Wasn't Film Royalty Sex Abuse Claims From His Daughter Would Have Ruined His Career', screamed the subheading, slyly ignoring the fact that if Mia Farrow wasn't film royalty no-one would have given her story the time of day.
But the article's refusal to engage with the considerable evidence casting doubt on its entire premise earmarked Lorraine as one to watch. If she keeps it up she may even earn herself a job at The Canary come the Jezolution, just as soon as she's finished five years of hard labour plus weekly lashes for sucking Murdoch's cock. (Though more columns like this and her sentence may be reduced to 18 months and the odd gang-rape.)
Diving straight in, she did what most people convinced of Allen's depravity do and presented the fact that he was never charged as proof that he should have been: 'Allen was investigated back then but although the prosecutor declared there was "probable cause" he was never charged with anything' she wrote, sidestepping the awkward question of why someone strongly suspected of child abuse wouldn't be tried for it.
Thankfully the prosecutor (Frank S.Maco), covered this in 1993 when he stated he didn't want to put Dylan through a trial. A compassionate and highly illogical claim but one that ends all discussion instantly. Because when it comes to Maco, that 'probable cause' line is all you need. In fact, other than doing what Lorraine did and casually quoting him without a shred of context you should avoid reading about or mentioning him at all.
Because some light research could reveal he earned a 'stern rebuke' from an ethics panel for making the 'probable cause' statement. Or that years later he modified it to 'arguable probable cause'. Or that his reluctance to put Dylan through questioning only arose after she'd already endured months of interviews and evaluations approved by him and Mia. The same Mia who had already filmed the child for several days explaining exactly how her father had assaulted her. Is it any wonder Maco deduced the last thing she should do is give another interview to put away the monster responsible?
It's called 'putting the needs of the victim first', people. But to listen to Allen's lackies you'd think Maco realised if he went to trial his case would be exposed as having more holes than an M. Night Shalamar script. They laughably claim he only delivered his 'probable cause' parting shot to titilate the 'no smoke without fire' mob after bottling a trial he was nailed on to lose. Paranoid much?
Thankfully that same mob are all over social media, confidently asserting Allen's guilt despite knowing as much about the case as I do about animal husbandry. And Lorraine has bought into this subculture with gusto, even citing a second legal expert as proof that the abuse took place:
'A judge also declared Allen's behaviour towards Dylan "grossly inappropriate" and that "measures must be taken" to protect her'. He certainly did. Not the judge at the child abuse trial, mind. That would be impossible as there was no child abuse trial. But as demonstrated by the way The Guardian shoehorn phrases like 'alt-right' into every single piece about professor of misogyny Jordan B. Henderson, if you mention two unrelated things in the same breath often enough they stick like glue. Likewise every social media thread about Allen is ram-packed with people who think the judge at his trial believed the director's relationship with Dylan was 'grossly inappropriate' but decided to let him off anyway.
And with that it becomes part of the narrative, much like Professor Jordan's alt-rightism, despite the fact that he couldn't be less alt-right if he had Obama's face tattooed on his chest. That the judge quoted by Lorraine only presided over the couple's custody hearing is irrelevant, as is the fact that he never read the notes from the two child services investigations which concluded no abuse took place. His description of Allen's 'inappropriate behaviour' meanwhile, referred to the director's shortcomings as a parent rather than a penchant for child abuse. And his judgement that 'steps must be taken to protect Dylan' was seemingly informed not by concrete evidence against Allen but Mia's unverified version of events.
All of which Lorraine expertly ignored: 'I'm amazed anyone could hear themselves over the sound of those alarm bells ringing' she raged, alarm bells which she neglects to mention were rung after police, doctors and social workers agreed there was no evidence any abuse had happened.
Which only emphasises how loud those bells were. Because two individuals – one who decided not to prosecute Allen and one with little knowledge of the case – are clearly more reliable than the various professionals who carried out extensive investigations. Or the other children, nannies and friends of Mia's who were present that day and provided zero evidence that when no-one was looking Allen dragged Dylan upstairs and molested her.
Though the biggest alarm of all was Allen's 'sordid' relationship with his wife. As Loraine put it: 'Let's not forget, Woody's relationship with Farrow ended when she discovered explicit photos of 21-year-old Soon Yi, another of their adopted daughters, and realised Allen was having an affair with her'. Game, set and match as they say at Lord's.
The fact that Soon Yi was actually Andre Previn's daughter, was never adopted by Allen nor lived under the same roof, and according to Mia herself was ignored by Woody while growing up was wisely omitted. As was the fact that the affair didn't begin until Soon Yi was 20. Because as we know, cheating on someone and being attracted to younger women is stone cold proof of rampant noncery.
Loraine also swerved the fact that Woody and Soon Yi have been married for 21 years and have two children, no doubt terrified of the backlash she'd receive from the Zionist lobby if she'd dared ask why New York child services allowed a paedophile to adopt a pair of vulnerable babies. It couldn't possibly be because Soon Yi and her kids' entire existence contradicts the popular belief that she is merely another of Allen's victims.
Indeed the image of Soon Yi chained up in Allen's basement and beaten regularly by her depraved stepfather is one that endures no matter how often she smiles in public: the brainwashed girl and her retarded kids, wheeled out to make their captor look respectable. He even forced her to go to university and learn several languages to maintain the illusion that she's a perfectly normal, intelligent woman. Sick.
As is the fact that no-one other than Dylan has ever accused Allen of abuse. You think that sinister lobby I mentioned earlier would allow news of multiple allegations to get out? Dream on. Next you'll be telling me it's highly unlikely that a child-molester would choose that particular day to pop his paedo-cherry. As if it isn't blatantly obvious that all the other memories of abuse were erased by one of those flashy torch things Tommy Lee Smith uses in Independence Day.
No, Allen's unchecked power is what enabled his evil life of Riley. 'I can't think of anyone whose career wouldn't have been destroyed by revelations that he'd cheated on his partner with her adopted daughter'. Me neither. And I'm also struggling to think of anyone other than a Hollywood actress whose wafer-thin story would have been easily believed by so many people.
But Lorraine had even more evidence for those too privileged to accept the truth: 'It's very telling that Allen's biological son Ronan cut ties with his father'. Almost as telling as Mia's adopted son Moses cutting ties with his mother and claiming she physically and mentally abused him. But Lorraine would rather not think about him. Because as the saying goes, believe victims. Just, y'know, believe some more than others.
So while Dylan's tale of one implausible incident corroborated by no-one is treated as incontestable truth, Moses's allegations – supported by witnesses – are dismissed out of hand. In fact, he's been so thoroughly airbrushed from the story that most people don't even know he exists. (That flashy torch thing hasn't half been getting a hammering.)
He truly is The Boy Who Must Not Be Mentioned. And despite being the oldest child present that fateful day and repeatedly stating that no assault could have taken place he is Not To Be Believed either. No, the only siblings worth listening too are Dylan and Ronan.
Ronan, of course, is the handsome, blue-eyed reporter who was coincidentally conceived during a period when Mia admits she was still sleeping with Frank Sinatra, whom she claims she 'never really split up' with. Commendably, while Lorraine refers to Allen's two-year affair as 'selfish' and 'reprehensible' she has nothing to say about Mia's, which spanned a couple of decades. Which makes sense: if you're going to assign diabolical motives to a man in his fifties dating a 20-year-old it's best not to remind yourself that the woman you're championing married a man in his fifties when she was a 20-year-old.
But Mia's greatest gift is her cognitive dissonance, a badge of honour on the modern left. Indeed, Lorraine even praised Mia's wonky, contradictory behaviour when paying tribute to those brave stars who vowed never to appear in Allen's films again. (Despite the fact that there is as much – or rather, as little – evidence against the director now than there was when they all worked with him.)
'I sincerely hope they will also stop lionising child rapist Roman Polanski, who shamefully fled the US and cowered in Europe instead of going to jail' she wrote, cleverly forgetting that the person who has lionised Polanski most is Mia Farrow, who remained friends with the pervy Pole long after he pleaded guilty to drugging and raping a 13-year-old, even appearing as a character witness for him during a 2005 libel trial.
Of course, the fact that Polanski confessed to drugging and raping a 13-year-old is what sets him apart from liars like Allen, who shamefully protested his innocence rather than admit he'd made a daft mistake. Indeed, if Allen had only spilt the beans then gone on the run he could have spent the rest of his career receiving standing ovations from leading tinseltown feminists like Whoopie Goldblum and Dame Meryl Streep.
Mia, of course, cleverly capitalised on her friendship with Polanski recently by contacting his now middle-aged victim Samantha Geimer and apologising via social media. Clearly this selfless public gesture was all about solidarity and not at all a transparently cynical attempt to silence the critics pondering how someone whose child was sexually assaulted by a film director could spend decades supporting a film director who sexually assaulted a child.
A question which should be avoided at all costs. And it's a measure of the internet left's integrity that I've not came across one social media liberal outraged that The Sun would publish such speculative, misleading and downright false information in an attempt to smear an innocent man.
No, progressives are too busy raging against the Murdoch press for printing demonstrably true stories about 38-year-olds impersonating children or pointing out that the ubiquity of Muslim grooming gangs might just indicate the Muslim community has a problem with grooming gangs. Because any fool can see these are far worse than suggesting someone is a child abuser simply because three people say so.
And any gutless sycophant who dares suggest Allen's guilt may not be as clear-cut as we thought is to be derided and disbelieved at all costs. Indeed, TV producer Bob Weide has written numerous pieces brimming with basic but largely unknown facts about the case, and as a result is commonly regarded as a dangerous loon.
Unsurprisingly, Weide worked on Curb My Enthusiasm starring unfunny Islamophobe Jerry David. Y'know, the other neurotic, four-eyed Zio with a penchant for younger women. Hmm, just how did a race notorious for drinking the blood of babies produce so many men who prey on vulnerable children? I wonder. Anyone unsure why Allen got away with his crimes for so long need only read up on the relentless smear campaign against Jeremy Corbyn.
What you should categorically NOT read up on is anything even remotely doubting that Woody Allen is a paedophile. In fact, once you've read this you should borrow that flashy memory torch and erase it immediately. Then set your laptop on fire. Anything to avoid learning that everything you believe about a man whose only crime was to have an affair is about as convincing as Ewen Farrell's mockney accent in Allen's creepy incest drama Cassandra & Rodney.
Because that really would be a crime.

Older than America (alternatively titled American Evil) is 2008 American suspense drama film directed by Georgina Lightning and starring Adam Beach, Wes Studi, Tantoo Cardinal, Georgina Lightning and Bradley Cooper.  The film explores the devastating personal and cultural effects of the  American Indian boarding schools on the members of a Native American family in Minnesota.

Plot
Three intersecting stories are told centered on the Fond du Lac Indian Reservation and the adjacent town of Cloquet in the Arrowhead Region of northeastern Minnesota. The answers to the outstanding questions in these stories are all hidden in the secrets from a generation ago at the now abandoned Catholic boarding school on the reservation.

In Story One, Ojibwe Native Americans Rain Many Lightnings O'Rourke (Georgina Lightning) and Johnny Goodfeather (Adam Beach), a teacher and a police officer have been living together for ten years, off the reservation despite Johnny's job solely out of circumstance. They have not felt ready to get married until now, Johnny asking her which coincides with his announcement that he has been accepted into the FBI training program in Washington, DC. Rain isn't sure if she is prepared to move, since her mother, Irene, has long been institutionalized in a local psychiatric institution diagnosed as schizophrenic, she inching closer to being in a vegetative state. Under this circumstance, Rain was raised by her Aunt Barbara ("Auntie Apple"), a devout Catholic who has long assimilated into western society and who turns to local priest Father Bartoli for any guidance. One day, after Rain swerves to avoid some children in the road and winds up in a car accident, Johnny swears there were none. What Rain eventually confides to Johnny is that she of late has been seeing visions of things she doesn't understand, she fearing that she may be going the way of her mother. She is later transferred to a psychiatric institution; when Johnny challenges Auntie Apple and tries to force his way to her, his hotheadedness gets him arrested. Rain eventually finds out the children she's been seeing running around the community are not living children, but the spirits of dead children. Through visions and investigations she discovers these unquiet dead are the little girls and boys who were murdered at the Indian boarding school that used to kidnap, institutionalize, and abuse children in the community. She realizes that the spirits of the children are speaking to her so the truth can come to light and that, maybe, the community can finally find healing.

In Story Two, Luke Patterson (Bradley Cooper), a government geologist, has come to the area to investigate a reported earthquake - if it be the case, a rare earthquake - on the reservation. Beyond Johnny helping him get a city hall permit to investigate on the reservation, Luke befriends Johnny and his family during his extended stay in the area and begins to learn more about the history behind the reservation and the local boarding school from Johnny's father Pete.

In Story Three, Steve Klamath is running for mayor against the long time incumbent, Paul Gunderson, who has always been pro-development on the reservation. As the campaign progresses, Steve, who wants to fight for indigenous rights from the inside of the establishment, seems to be waging a losing battle both within the Native population as they historically stay home on voting day, and with the non-Native population who largely viewing him with contempt for his policies. Local radio talk show host Richard Two Rivers (Wes Studi), who is seen as the voice of the reservation, outwardly gives Steve's campaign airtime if only because it is Steve's side who contacts the radio station about the campaign, although his background shows Richard may not be who he is as perceived by the public.

Production
The film was inspired by events from Lightning's life, and the lives of her family members and community. Her father, who occasionally had violent outbursts, had been silent about his childhood. When Lightning was 18, her father committed suicide. This shocking event launched her on a quest, as she attempted to find out about her father's mysterious childhood. In the course of her research, she found herself visiting the Indian boarding school where her father, along with many First Nations children, had been institutionalized as a boy. She saw the large cemetery behind the school, with the names of so many young students on the headstones. From this disturbing experience, the concept for the film emerged.

While the filmmaker is from Canada, the film is set in America, and was shot primarily at the Fond du Lac Indian Reservation in Minnesota. Filming took place in late 2006 on or around the Fond du Lac Reservation and Cloquet, Minnesota.

Music
The film's music was compiled and produced by George S. Clinton.

Release
The official world premiere for Older than America took place at the 2008 SXSW Festival in the narrative feature competition. The film screened at other festivals including the Women with Vision Festival in March 2008, Talking Stick Film Festival in June 2008  and Lake Arrowhead Film Festival in April 2009.

The film had a VOD release through IFC Films on March 17, 2010. The film was released in DVD format on October 12, 2010. The film was released on DVD and Blu-ray Disc by Metrodome in the United Kingdom under the title American Evil on March 5, 2012, for which the cover art and starring credit highlights Bradley Cooper's role in the film. The film received mostly negative reviews in the UK after its DVD and Blu-ray Disc release, with most critics calling it cheaply made, and was only released in the UK due to the mass popularity of actor Bradley Cooper and his involvement in the film to boost sales.

Accolades
The film won Best Director and Best Supporting Actor (for Wes Studi) awards at the American Indian Film Festival. It was named Best Dramatic Feature at the 2008 Flyway Film Festival.  The film received the Aloha Accolade Award from the Honolulu International Film Festival on March 8, 2009.

Wu, W, Greenland, P, Fisher, A, Le, Huy Nguyen, Chick, Steven and Murdin, Benedict (2018) Excited states of defect linear arrays in silicon: A first-principles study based on hydrogen cluster analogues Physical Review B, 97 (3), 035205.
Excited states of a single donor in bulk silicon have previously been studied extensively based on effective mass theory. However, proper theoretical descriptions of the excited states of a donor cluster are still scarce. Here we study the excitations of lines of defects within a single-valley spherical band approximation, thus mapping the problem to a scaled hydrogen atom array. A series of detailed full configuration-interaction, time-dependent Hartree-Fock and time-dependent hybrid density-functional theory calculations have been performed to understand linear clusters of up to 10 donors. Our studies illustrate the generic features of their excited states, addressing the competition between formation of inter-donor ionic states and intra-donor atomic excited states. At short interdonor distances, excited states of donor molecules are dominant, at intermediate distances ionic states play an important role, and at long distances the intra-donor excitations are predominant as expected. The calculations presented here emphasise the importance of correlations between donor electrons, and are thus complementary to other recent approaches that include effective mass anisotropy and multi-valley effects. The exchange splittings between relevant excited states have also been estimated for a donor pair and for three-donor arrays; the splittings are much larger than those in the ground state in the range of donor separations between 10 and 20 nm. This establishes a solid theoretical basis for the use of excited-state exchange interactions for controllable quantum gate operations in silicon.

Suretyship-Subrogation-Rights of Surety to Funds Withheld Under A Government Contract
William T. Holcomb Jr. December, 1962
Petitioner surety, under the terms of its payment bond, paid laborers and materialmen of a government contractor, who was later adjudicated bankrupt. The Government paid to the trustee in bankruptcy funds it had retained but which had been earned prior to termination of the contract. The district court1 reversed the referee's ruling denying the surety's petition for an order directing the trustee to transfer the retained funds to the surety. On appeal, held, affirmed. The surety was entitled to the funds, in preference to the trustee in bankruptcy, by subrogation to the laborers' and materialmen's equitable priority in the retained payments. In the Matter of Dutcher Constr. Corp., 298 F.2d 655 (2d Cir.), cert. granted sub nom. Pearlman v. Reliance Ins. Co., 82 Sup. Ct. 936 (1962).

Ive had a nice westisde brass C-19 for a few years. An exceptional detailed loco but the motor was no good when i got it and ive never been able to revive its running ability.
So ive recently been selling so on30 stuff and i caved in this afternoon and bought myself a new Blackstone C-19 un lettered. I figure with all the frustration ive been going through to get the other one in operation i should save myself the stress and ejoy the hobby and just buy one.
I am jealous - just plain jealous!
The C-19 is high up on my wish list!
Pretty much true of old brass locomotives, but todays engines of Blackstone quality has given us all a good reason to model again, and in HOn3. I modeled in HOn3 back in the day when Westside engines were the best, but by today standards they are hard to upgrade to make them anywhere close to a Blackstone engine. Plus the cost of upgrading just doesn't work out, money not well spent. I would personally take my Westside engine and use it as a static display on your layout, would look great and still have the value of a brass engine.
The Blackstone C-19 is so quaint! Just got a Blackstone K-27 and it's about a third larger in every respect. Almost looks like another gauge. Quite a surprise.

CIO Boot Camp to show way to executive suite for experts in IT
News | August 13, 2012
John Seelmeyer
Folks who are really good at communicating with computers aren't always so good at communicating with people, observes Fred Kesinger.
And the communication gap, he says, often is a major headache for technically savvy executives who want to make the next step into positions such as chief information officer.
Kesinger, who works as a senior consultant with Sparks-based Averill Consulting Group, looks to begin bridging the communication gap with a one-day CIO Boot Camp next month.
If the initial workshop is successful, Kesinger and Tim Averill, the chief executive and chief technology officer of Averill Consulting Group, say they plan to expand the workshop into other mid-sized cities and develop further education for technically savvy people who want to move into the executive suite.
"We believe there is a substantial need for this, not only here but elsewhere," says Kesinger.
They have modest goals for the inaugural session on Sept. 19 maybe 10 participants, a number that reflects the space that's available in the Averill Consulting Group conference room.
In the day-long session, Kesinger will cover subjects such as the role of corporate chief information officers, the skills they need, and the path that executives follow from positions such as director of information technology into CIO roles.
Along the way, they'll be videotaped as they learn to pitch products to senior executives.
Kesinger, who has worked the better part of four decades in information technology, made the transition to the executive suite himself.
After working as information technology director for Freeport McMoran, a mining and energy company, he became vice president of business support services for UtiliCorp United, a Kansas City gas and electric utility, and chief information officer and vice president for information technology at DCP Midstream, a Denver-based energy company.
Averill says his company hopes that the workshop initially will serve to strengthen its relationships with its customers, who are predominately mid-sized companies that use the firm for jobs ranging from big implementation projects with enterprise resource-planning software to day-in, day-out support of IT needs.
The one-day workshop is priced at $500 for customers of Averill Consulting Group and $1,000 for non-customers.

Blog RAM To Become First oneworld Full Member From Africa
RAM To Become First oneworld Full Member From Africa
Kayode Oyero December 6, 2018 African Airline News, News, News Updates Leave a Comment
Royal Air Maroc, one of Africa's leading and fastest growing airlines will join oneworld®, adding that Royal Air Maroc will thus be first African airline and the third Arab airline member besides Royal Jordanian and Qatar Airways to join the alliance.
Royal Air Maroc is expected to be implemented into oneworld in mid-2020, when it will start flying alongside some of the biggest and best brands in the airline business. Its regional subsidiary Royal Air Maroc Express will join as a oneworld affiliate member at the same time.
Its election as a oneworld member designate was announced as the Chief Executives of the alliance's 13 current member airlines gathered in New York for their year-end Governing Board meeting, just weeks before the alliance celebrates the 20thanniversary of its launch.
oneworld Governing Board Chairman Alan Joyce, Group CEO of Qantas, says: "We're pleased to welcome Royal Air Maroc to oneworld. Africa is the last major region where oneworld does not have a full member airline – and has one of the fastest predicted air travel growth rates over the next few decades. Royal Air Maroc will deliver greater value for more customers worldwide as we expand our alliance network to a new region."
oneworld CEO Rob Gurney notes: "When we unveiled our new membership platform oneworld connect in June, we said that in the future oneworld would target as full members large airlines that have a significant presence in the alliance's prime target market, providing connections between the world's leading business centres. Royal Air Maroc is growing into a truly global airline, with its home base Casablanca to be developed into Africa's leading aviation gateway while also consolidating its place as Africa's number one financial centre."
Royal Air Maroc CEO Abdelhamid Addou says: "Royal Air Maroc is excited and honored to have been invited to become oneworld's wings of Africa. We look forward to completing our flight on board speedily and smoothly so that we can offer the services and benefits of the world's best airline alliance to our customers and across our own network as soon as possible. We will be flying alongside the finest collection of air carriers in the skies, while at the same time making it easier for people all over the world to reach our historic and beautiful part of the world. This undoubtedly represents one of the most significant landmarks in our airline's 60-year history and on our journey to establish Royal Air Maroc as the leading airline of Africa."
Royal Air Maroc is today the largest unaligned carrier in Africa – with a transformational strategy well underway to develop it quickly into a truly global airline and the continent's leader in terms of both size and quality.
Under its ambitious five-year plan, it plans to expand its fleet significantly, carrying 13 million passengers a year across a global network serving 121 destinations in 68 countries. This will add another 15 destinations and nine countries to the alliance network–giving the alliance a total of 1,084 destinations in 187 countries and territories.
Three established oneworld member airlines – British Airways, Iberia and Qatar Airways – currently serve three destinations in Morocco between them: Casablanca, Marrakech and Tangier.

Revenue and Taxation Code section 170(a)(1) allows homeowners to apply for reassessment of their property if it has been the damaged or destroyed by Governor-declared disaster. The county assessor will immediately reappraise the property to reflect its damaged condition. In addition, when it is rebuilt in a like or similar manner, the property will retain its prior value (Proposition 13) for tax purposes. If a manufactured home is totally destroyed in a Governor-declared disaster, it may be replaced by a comparable unit without an increase in either the property taxes or the vehicle license and registration fees.
Section 194.1 of the Revenue and Taxation Code allows any owner of eligible property who files a claim for calamity reassessment pursuant to Section 170 on or before the next property tax installment delinquency date (December 10, 2017) to ask the county assessor to defer payment of that installment of property taxes on the regular secured roll for the current fiscal year (deferral does not apply to impound accounts handled by your lender). The new due date for the deferred taxes will be 30 days after you receive the corrected property tax bill. If delinquency date falls on a weekend or holiday, as it does in this case, the delinquency date is the next business date.
As wind-fueled wildfires swept through numerous counties in California, neighborhoods and communities were affected in a multitude of ways. With schools resuming and the recovery process in motion, businesses also are in need of assistance.
If business owners have any questions or require assistance with their business, please contact GO-Biz.

Agrishelter prototype 4 was built in July 2018 in a refugee centre in Besate. A kit of prefabricated wooden components was produced in a wood factory in Italy and straw bales were collected from a local farmer in the region.
4 refugees, who were participating voluntarily in the project, assembled the prototype. Eventually they lived in it for one month in order to test the quality of the living space.
Moreover, this project included a collaboration with university of Bath for the project called "healthy housing for the displaced". Data loggers that were sent by Bath team were installed inside and outside the shelter in order to monitor thermal performance and interior comfort of the prototype. The analysis of the collected data is still in progress and the collaboration will be continued by building the next prototype in Bath research park in the UK.

[ARCHIVED] Firefighters honor Mike Kruse with laying of the wreath ceremony
MUSCATINE, Iowa – Michael Kruse was remembered with the laying of a wreath at the Firefighters Memorial Saturday (Sept. 14) during a special service commemorating the 17th anniversary of his death.
Kruse was 53-years-old and a 27-year veteran of the Muscatine Fire Department when he lost his life while fighting a house fire on the night of September 14, 2002. He was the first and only Muscatine firefighter to die in the line of duty, the only Iowa fire fighter to lose their life while on duty in 2002 and the 131st in the state of Iowa since records began in 1890. A total of 147 fire fighters have fallen in the line of duty since 1890.
Muscatine Fire Chief Jerry Ewers was just named a fire lieutenant when he first met Kruse as part of his team at Station 2.
"I remember that night very well," Ewers said.
Muscatine Fire Department's Green Shift responded to a structure fire at 10:30 p.m. on that Saturday night (Sept. 14, 2002) finding a wooden three-story multi-family home at the intersection of Orange and East 6th streets engulfed in flames. Kruse was one of two firefighters who were working on the structure's roof when Kruse fell through and into the structure below.
When Ewers arrived at the scene he issued an all-call to bring in other shifts and relieve Green Shift in containing the fire.
"The tragedy suffered by Green Shift was felt by all those who came to the scene," Ewers said. "But it was best to relieve that shift and allow them to grieve. We still had a job to do but it was a very emotional night."
Kruse's dedication to job safety and protecting Muscatine residents is a lesson that can be taught to firefighters of today and those of the future. His sacrifice and loss of life while on active duty, the emotional toll it took on his family, co-workers, and Muscatine residents, and the hope that Muscatine will never experience a tragedy such as this ever again are all part of the message presented during each memorial service.
"Mike was one of the most safety conscious firefighter's on the department," Ewers said during a speech in 2012 commemorating the 10th anniversary of Kruse's death. "Mike always looked out for other firefighters to make sure they were doing the job safely and that they had their full protective equipment on at all times."
Ewers first met Kruse in the 1990's as a newly appointed Fire Lieutenant assigned to Station 2. Kruse and firefighter June Anne Gaeta were his crew.
Ewers admits that as a very young, very green fire lieutenant he was book smart but lacked the fire ground command and exposure to structure fires.
"Mike was a true teacher and mentor to me," Ewers said. "His experience in fighting real fires, his expertise with the equipment, and his knowledge of the city helped this young lieutenant grow."
Kruse joined the department in 1975 and was one of the first members to obtain his fire science degree at MCC.
"He was a true firefighter dedicated to protecting property and saving lives," Ewers said. "He was very detail oriented, liked everything clean and in its place, and took his job very seriously."
Ewers spoke of the difference between commemoration and celebration during his 2012 speech. Commemorating an event, he said, is done to honor the memory of that event. Celebration is a time or rejoicing, a time to feel good about something that has happened.
"Commemorations often remind us of what we have lost," Ewers said. "Commemorations are important, not because of the words spoken, but because of honor, courage, and sacrifice that were displayed during the time of the event itself.
"We all know in our hearts that firefighting is a dangerous profession," Ewers said. "Mike knew this when he was hired in 1975. Not every firefighter who responds to the sound of an alarm is guaranteed a safe return to quarters. Some will be mentally scarred for life with what we see and encounter at emergency scenes, some will be seriously injured, and some will pay the ultimate price.
"So it was with Mike Kruse on September 14, 2002 while battling a house fire at 6th and Orange just a few blocks from here," Ewers said. "We have gathered here to commemorate that tragic event that took one of our own and left behind a painful gap in our ranks. We will continue to do this as long as the Muscatine Fire Department is in existence."
Muscatine's Firefighters Memorial is located at the intersection of Cedar and 5th Streets.
NATIONAL FALLEN FIREFIGHTERS MEMORIAL - Kruse is among the fallen firefighters to be honored with inclusion on the National Fallen Firefighters Memorial. In his memorial, his children wrote:
"Mike was a 'True American Hero.' He never wanted to be recognized for all the wonderful things he did. Mike always stood up for what he believed in. He was always honest' even though the other person did not want to hear what he had to say. Mike always followed the rules' unless someone gave him a direct order to do otherwise.
Mike always put others before himself. He always talked about his family which he was so proud of. Mike stood by them through thick and thin. He gave his children unconditional love. He taught them to respect other people for who they are. Mike explained to them to love life because life is short. He became their best friend. He loved them for who they are. He was so excited about his little grandson' who bore his name. He took time out of his busy life to spend lots of loving moments with him.
Mike always went the extra mile at home and at work. He kept track of every run he had ever been on. He stopped by some of the houses while he was out for his morning jog and checked on patients to make sure they were doing all right. He never passed up the opportunity to play in the yearly basketball game with the Special Olympics. Mike always enjoyed carrying the boot and receiving donations for MDA.
Mike was a veteran at the fire department for twenty-seven years. He was still able to keep up with some of the younger guys. He was able to give the younger firemen the knowledge he had learned over the years. He was very respected for that.
Mike was taken from us at a moment in time when his family and friends were so proud of who he was. He will always remain alive in our hearts as a 'True American Hero.'"

Holy Motors – Film Review
December 14, 2016 July 20, 2020 yggdrasille
The whole time I watched this bonkers surrealist fever dream of a film, my feeling was, I've no idea what on earth this movie is about, but I want to keep watching just to see what happens next. It's a one-of-a-kind movie alright.
The story, if you can call it so, involves a man called Monsieur Oscar (Denis Lavant), who is ferried around Paris in the back of a limo by his taciturn but caring driver, Céline. He is employed by a mysterious organisation and has a number of appointments to attend to every day, and for each one, he adopts a different guise. The first appointment sees him transform into an old beggar woman, who loiters around with her begging bowl for a while before scooting off in the limo for the next appointment, which is… as far as I could say, a motion-capture acrobat who ends up romping around the studio in a highly erotic manner with a woman in a red skin-tight suit. And that's not even the weirdest appointment by far; the honour goes to the one where Monsieur Oscar turns into a horrible red-haired satyr-like madman who runs around the cemetery munching on flowers, kidnaps a model (Eva Mendes) from a photo shoot, then takes her to the sewers and dresses her up as a Muslim woman. Even typing this up is extremely bizarre.
To make the whole thing even more jarring, the WTF episodes are interspersed with appointments that have clear conventional narratives and could have come from your average drama – a dad picks up his teenage daughter from a party, a young woman farewells her dying uncle. These feel so real it's a jolt when they're over and it's time for Monsieur Oscar to take his wig and make-up off and move on. In another scene, Monsieur Oscar runs into an old flame (Kylie Minogue, lovely and elfin) who is also a colleague with her own limo and schedule to follow. They walk around an old abandoned department store and she sings a melancholic song about lost love.
The film is quite mad, anarchic and preposterous, but tremendously entertaining and funny in places (while totally not funny in others) and the movie never lets you relax by throwing more and more unexpected weirdness onscreen until the very end. As an experience, it's both engrossing and alienating, like looking in a distorted mirror.

Neil Diamond + George Clooney Painfully Duet on 'Sweet Caroline' [VIDEO]
Cassandra Rose Published: October 22, 2012
Let no one say that George Clooney can do no wrong, as evidenced by this slightly off-tune cover of Neil Diamond's 'Sweet Caroline,' performed by the duo with help from a (possibly inebriated) audience at the Carousel of Hope Ball this weekend.
The event, which raised $2.5 million for the Barbara Davis Center for Childhood Diabetes, had Clooney as its Brass Ring Award winner for humanitarian efforts -- but Diamond didn't pass up the opportunity to embarrass him anyway. Or rather, let him royally embarrass himself with his monotone "bah bah bah" and "so good, so good" during the chorus.
Thankfully -- or maybe not so thankfully -- he got an assist from the crowd, which seemed to enjoy the spectacle. Because there's nothing like a room full of rich people yelling along to one of the whitest songs in history to lend a little perspective to your life.
Given how perfect he otherwise seems to be, Clooney's painful rendition of the classic wedding and sports-event sing-along (which Diamond says he wrote about Caroline Kennedy) may at least give Americans a good dose of schadenfreude.
George Clooney: He's human, too. Albeit slightly tone deaf.
