Indie Movies: Check Out the Trailer for 'Short Term 12'
by Joe Gillis, Jun 3 2013 // 1:00 PM
It can't be big movies and epic geekness all the time around here. Sometimes, we need to take a step back and appreciate the smaller, more intimate stories. In that spirit we present a new trailer for the indie film Short Term 12.
It features Brie Larson, John Gallagher Jr., Kaitlyn Dever, Rami Malek, and Keith Stanfield and is directed by Daniel Cretton. It "tells the story through the eyes of Grace (Larson), a twenty- something supervisor at a foster-care facility for at-risk teenagers. Passionate and tough, Grace is a formidable caretaker of the kids in her charge – and in love with her long-term boyfriend and co-worker, Mason (Gallagher Jr.)
But Grace's own difficult past – and the surprising future that suddenly presents itself – throw her into unforeseen confusion, made all the sharper with the arrival of a new intake at the facility – Jayden (Dever), a gifted but troubled teenage girl with whom Grace has a charged connection. Grace comes to find – in both her work and the new teenager in her care – surprising sources of redemption."
Check out the trailer after the break. Look for Short Term 12 to arrive in theaters for a limited release on August 23.

Revisit The World Of Scott Pilgrim In Full Color!
by Jonathan Weilbaecher, Jul 27 2012 // 2:00 PM
One of the interesting ironies in recent pop culture is that the visually stunning and vibrant Scott Pilgrim vs the World is based on a manga style comic that was actually released in black and white. Of course Bryan Lee O'Malley's fantastic series is full of many of the same stylistic tropes of Edgar Wright's film, but it does so with out the help of color.
That is all about to change as Oni Press, with O'Malley's support, is about to re-release the Scott Pilgrim books in premium, full color editions. These color editions are also going to be hardcover, so beyond the gimmick of full color, this will also represent the best versions of these books for long-term storage and multiple re-readings.
The idea is to release the first volume of the series, Scott Pilgrim's Precious Little Life, in August and volume two later in October. The rest of the series will then hit twice a year for the next couple of years.
To help assuage any worries you might be developing on how this will look, we have a few screen shots of full color pages for you after the jump.

The Flickcast Five: Best Movies Adapted from Comics
by Chris Ullrich, Dec 21 2011 // 10:30 AM
Lists are fun. Lists are, at least in some cases, easy to create. In this case, the list in question for today is The Five Best Movies Adapted From Comics.
I know what you're thinking. Why five? Well, it sorta works with the word "Flickcast" and we're fans of alliteration around here, so that's one reason. Of course, it also means I only need to come up with five items to fill the list, so that might have something to do with it too. I'll never tell.
I'm also in the process of preparing a list of the worst movies adapted from comics as well because what's a "best" list without a "worst" list, right? Right.
However, in this case, we're talking best. And do we have a lot of great "best" ones to choose from. That's not a question, we do.
The ones I've chosen are not only great examples of comic book adaptations done right, they're also great movies too. From a clever screenplay to expert direction, exciting visuals, to compelling characters and performances, these five films deliver on many levels and also manage to demonstrate a real love for their source material.
Okay, enough setup. On with the listing of the things.

Film Score Friday: Top 10 Comic Book Movie Scores of All Time
by Jonathan Weilbaecher, Jul 22 2011 // 12:00 PM
It's Comic-Con! Hurray!
In honor of this geek-stravaganza, today's Film Score Friday is taking a break from the standard review and instead going through the top ten comic book scores of all time. So without further adieu, I present to you the top ten comic book scores of all time:
10. Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World
Scott Pilgrim is a melting pot of geekdom. Mixing together video games, movies, TV, comics, music and many more into a singular generational experience. The movie has so much going on in it that the references and structure starts to bleed in on itself, making a seamless cinematic experience. A huge part of that is the music, which flows between songs and score better than almost any film before. The score bit in particular is what makes this list, making use of some great digital sounds that fit the movie like a glove.

SDCC11: Oni Press Signs with William Morris Agency
by Chris Ullrich, Jul 19 2011 // 1:00 PM
Portland, OR based Oni Press is probably most well know for it Scott Pilgrim Versus the World comic series and feature film. They also have many more projects in what Hollywood likes to call "various stages of development" so that means they need a bit of help getting those set up.
Enter the William Morris Agency which has just signed Oni Press for (here's another Hollywood term for you) "Representation in all areas." What does that mean? Well, it means the agency will work with Oni and its sister company Closed on Mondays Entertainment to develop more Oni properties into film and television shows.
At the moment, those projects include feature film adaptations The Last Call with producer Barry Josephson, The Leading Man with producer Marc Platt, Frenemy of the State with Imagine Entertainment, The Return of King Doug starring Ben Stiller and produced by Red Hour Films and Ciudad with Joe and Anthony Russo writing and directing.
Closed on Mondays also has what's called a "first-look deal" with CBS TV Studios to adapt Oni properties for the small screen. That means Oni takes its stuff to CBS first and if CBS decides to make it, great. If not, they can take it somewhere else. In exchange for that right, CBS pays Oni some sort of fee and more if the projhect actually goes into development, is made or ends up on the air.
As someone who's spent some time with the guys and gals at Oni, I'm always happy when I hear they are doing well. They have some great comics and it would be nice to see more of them brought to the small or big screen.

'Parks & Recreation' Star Aubrey Plaza Is Princess Leia in a New 'Star Wars' Spoof
by Sebastian Suchecki, Mar 7 2011 // 12:00 PM
NBC's Thursday night lineup may be some of the funniest comedies on TV today, and that is in no small part due to the outrageous ensemble cast on Parks & Recreation. Sure, people love Amy Poehler and Aziz Ansari, but another performance that stands out beyond many others is the dry one-liners of Aubrey Plaza.
She's done great things on Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World, Parks & Rec, and seems to have a continuing relationship with College Humor. A few years ago, she worked on a Twilight spoof for the online comedy site, titled Three Wolf Moon. Now she's back again, this time spoofing Star Wars.
Sure, they avoided a heavy budget and a letter from Lucas Ranch by using knockoff stormtrooper helmets, but that doesn't mean the skit didn't capture the true essence of the Imperial prison from A New Hope.
Sadly, you can't add Plaza to the list of actresses like Olivia Munn and Alessandra Torresani who have donned the epic Slave Leia outfit, but that doesn't mean she still doesn't have the hair buns. Check out the skit after the jump.

Aliens Hit The UK in a New Trailer For 'Attack The Block'
by Matt Raub, Mar 4 2011 // 3:00 PM
While here in the states, we'll be fighting off the alien threat out of Hollywood in Battle:LA, they've got a less conventional way of taking down evil extraterrestrials overseas. What happens when aliens are met with a bunch of street-savvy hoodrats from South London? Nothing good.
Here's the official synopsis.
From the producers of SHAUN OF THE DEAD and SCOTT PILGRIM VS. THE WORLD comes ATTACK THE BLOCK, a fast funny, frightening action adventure movie that pits a teen gang against an invasion of savage alien monsters. It turns a London tower block into a fortress under siege, and a weapon wielding teenage thugs into heroes. It's inner city versus outer space.
Because Paul just wasn't enough of an alien encounter, Nick Frost steps into this film as well, as the only well-known comedic figure in the film. Overall, an interesting take on a classic story, played to today's social culture.
Check out the full trailer for Attack the Block after the jump, and the film hits UK screens on May 13th, so you can expect it to hit the states sometime shortly after.

Morena Baccarin Tops List of Potential Actresses To Play Wasp in 'The Avengers'
by Matt Raub, Feb 4 2011 // 9:00 AM
Or at least, that's the role we think they are casting for. In a recent interview with Sam Jackson, who will play Nick Fury in just about every upcoming Marvel film from Captain America: The First Avenger to The Avengers, the actor spilled the beans on the shortlist of actresses the studio is looking at for a potential "sidekick" role for his character. From THR:
Marvel is conducting screen tests Friday for one of the final roles still looking to be cast in The Avengers, the all-star superhero ensemble being directed by Joss Whedon. Last night Samuel L. Jackson revealed on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon it is that of his "sidekick."
V star Morena Baccarin is on that list. Also said to be vying for the part are Jessica Lucas, Cobie Smulders and Mary Elizabeth Winstead, who are still negotiating their test deals for the part of a key member of the espionage agency run by Nick Fury, played in the Marvel movies by Jackson. Some earlier speculation pegged the role to be that of Avengers team member Janet van Dyne/the Wasp, but Marvel declined to comment.

Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg's Next To Be A Post-Apocalyptic Comedy
by Matt Raub, Nov 12 2010 // 12:00 PM
While Simon Pegg and Nick Frost are off discovering aliens named Paul in the desert, and Edgar Wright allegedly helps the Marvel Universe get an Ant Man, fans of Hot Fuzz and Shaun of the Dead everywhere are pacing back and forth for the next time the three will do another film together. Well, you may not have to wait forever, just until the end of the world.
In a recent chat with io9, Wright explained that he's taking some time off from the easy genre-spoofing and work on a really meaty project. One about the end of the world.
"You start to think that people assume you have a blindfold and a dart board, and oh, okay, kung fu, let's do that. I think what I would like to do now is to make stories that appeal to me."
"Maybe [the title is The World's End]. I don't know. I think so. We liked that idea. It had a sort of resonance in a different way. It might be that we continue with that idea, or it might be that we start all over again. […] We never said it was post-apocalyptic movie, though. To be honest, in a weird way, I regret saying anything at all because then people start speculating. It's more we probably shouldn't have said anything at all. I've found that I regret speaking too soon about stuff. Because you end up sounding like the boy who cried wolf."
Pegg and Frost's Paul can be seen in theaters on March 18th and Wright's Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World is currently available on Blu-Ray and DVD everywhere.

The U.S. unemployment rate slowed unexpectedly and job losses eased last month in another possible sign that the recession has ended. The U.S. Department of Labor reports that the national unemployment rate for July was 9.4 percent, down 0.1 percent from the previous month, and that the economy lost 247,000 jobs, the smallest drop since August 2008 and considerably below industry analysts' predictions, which ranged between 275,000 and 325,000. In individual sectors, manufacturing lost 52,000 jobs in July for a total of 2 million jobs lost since the recession began in December 2007; construction lost 76,000 jobs; professional and business services lost 38,000; transportation and warehousing lost 22,000; wholesale trade lost 19,000; and financial services lost 13,000. Economists warn that the improved numbers do not necessarily mean companies will begin hiring again anytime soon. "The basic message is that the rate of job cuts is diminishing, and that's good news," says Nariman Behravesh, chief economist at IHS Global Insight, quoted in The New York Times. "Still, you're seeing job cuts everywhere except education, healthcare, government. I don't think we're at bottom yet in unemployment."

Juul injunction denied
The Israeli Supreme Court has rejected a petition filed by Juul Labs seeking a temporary injunction against the Ministry of Health's decision to ban the sale and importation of Juul.
The ministry announced the ban amid concerns that the device contains high levels of nicotine and poses "a grave risk to public health." The measure, signed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, will take effect within 10 days.
Juul entered the Israeli market in May, selling its pods with a full nicotine content of 59 mg per pod, although in the U.K. the company sells pods with a reduced nicotine content to comply with European Union regulations.
The company maintains that, despite its higher nicotine content, Juul is safer than regular cigarettes. It said the ban "prevented many smokers from a much less damaging alternative which does not involve inhaling cancerous tobacco smoke, while at the same time cigarettes continue to be sold unhindered and different types of cigarettes continue to enter the Israeli market."

The overgrown landscape on these College Street islands makes it hard for pedestrians to see oncoming vehicles and for drivers to spot pedestrians trying to cross the street.
Crossing College Street from the county parking deck over to the Buncombe County Courthouse or Asheville City Hall can be kind of like playing Frogger. There are ample crosswalks and drivers mostly stop. But pedestrians and drivers alike are challenged by an overgrown landscape in the islands and medians.
A project by the City of Asheville Public Works Department aims to fix that. In October, Public Works will launch a median maintenance project in the Central Business District, starting with the College Street median between the traffic circle and Spruce Street. That will include thinning the plantings in the medians to enhance visibility.
"One of the big factors we've considered in this project is not only beautification but safety," said Chad Bandy, Asheville's Streets Division Manager.
Twelve areas in the Central Business District have been identified for this first year of the project. And planting will begin in October.
"The window of planting is October through December, with the exception of warm-weather grasses," said Bandy.
The traffic circle on College Street will be part of the median maintenance program as will median-island areas on Broadway, Woodfin and Hiawassee streets and North Lexington Avenue. Parts of South French Broad and Coxe avenues will be incorporated into the program as well. Be aware that a few trees will be removed and some will be planted.
Impacts to pedestrians, bicyclists and vehicles should be minimal. Lane closures are not expected, though be on the lookout for orange cones to indicate that landscapers are working in the area.
As for the cost: $157,000 in funding to pay for the median maintenance was set aside from the City's general fund. McGill Associates did the landscape design work on the project.
Following the median maintenance the first year in the Central Business Districts the plan is for the program to radiate out to other parts of the City, keeping equity in mind. Overall the City has just under 300 plantable medians.
This map shows areas in Asheville's Central Business District where medians will be replanted this fall.


If I was Jamey Johnson, I'd be a little nervous right now. Maybe very nervous. I mean how can you live up to all the hype over one song? There's been so much buzz about his new song, "Macon," that he'll be premiering live tonight (June 9) on the CMT Music Awards that I am crossing my fingers that I'll love it as much as the rest of the world does. People have been all over Facebook and Twitter bragging about how they've heard it and are freaking out about its potential and how incredible it is and how it's a must-see. Then the Los Angeles Times called it "an atmospheric tale of a Georgia trucker on his way home." I am a fan of Johnson's music, and I dig songs about truckers, so really what's not to love?

The suffering poet who sighed for lost Edens
Ian Thomson
Sylvia Plath: her married name was chiselled away from her gravestone
Slice 1
Charting the toxic and tragic marriage of Sylvia Plath and Ted Hughes
The Letters of Sylvia Plath: Volume II
Edited by Peter Steinberg and Karen Krull,
Faber and Faber, 1,025pp, £35/$35
Since her suicide in the winter of early 1963, Sylvia Plath has been squabbled over by feminists who claim her as a martyr to their cause, literary critics who see her as one of the most important poets of her time, and Plath's own family, who wish only to forget the awful circumstances of her death at the age of 30 in London.
In the struggle to take possession of Plath, the requirements of ideology, scholarship and privacy seem irreconcilable.
Plath's former husband, Ted Hughes, has frequently been pilloried for his perceived cruelties. Above the two lines of poetry "Even amidst fierce flames, the golden lotus can be planted", Plath's married name "Hughes" has been chiselled away from her Yorkshire gravestone. Such insensitivity can only be the work of those who have no (or very little) idea of how difficult a marriage can be.
Part of the problem is that Plath died intestate – no arrangements had been made for the disposition of her literary remains. Ted Hughes appointed his sister Olywn as her literary agent and executor, but her stewardship of the Plath estate was problematic as she never really cared for the Boston-born poet. ("You liked her," Olywn Hughes wrote to a friend in 1986. "I think she was pretty straight poison.")
Much of what Plath wrote was conveniently mislaid or destroyed by Olywn and her brother. In his introduction to Plath's short story collection Johnny Panic and the Bible of Dreams, Ted Hughes admitted that 130 pages of what was to be his wife's second novel, Double Exposure, "disappeared somewhere around 1970". It may be that the missing material was not worth preserving, but this seems unlikely. To her mother, Plath confided that she valued her "terrific second novel" so highly that she had no intention of publishing it under a pseudonym (as she had with The Bell Jar). Also missing are two of Plath's journals. One of these chronicles her life during the autumn of 1962, when she wrote the extraordinary poems that would appear posthumously in Ariel and Winter Trees, among them "Lady Lazarus" and "The Rabbit Catcher".
Olywn Hughes, who died in 2016, is certainly no saint in this second volume of Plath's letters. One Christmas at her parents' house in Yorkshire, she calls Plath "a nasty selfish bitch" to her face. Was she jealous of Plath's claim on Ted? Two years later, in 1962, Ted's beautiful German-Jewish mistress Assia Wevill (who herself committed suicide) is explicitly compared by Plath to the verbally abusive Olywn.
Unsurprisingly, Plath's thoughts on Olwyn and Assia did not find their way into Letters Home (1975), a heavily doctored selection of Plath's correspondence to her mother between 1940 and 1963.
Edited by the Plath archivists Steinberg and Krull, the present volume is quite some monument. Included are 14 positively radioactive letters which Olywn and Ted Hughes placed under embargo until 2016. These were written by Plath to her psychiatrist in America, Dr Ruth Beuscher, and describe in angry detail her husband's "elaborate" deceits involving a secret bank account set up for his extra-marital needs. Courageously, Plath clings to the idea of her marriage as sacrosanct: "I am one of those women whose marriage is the central experience of life." Her gradual disintegration is all the more painful to watch.
After six years of marriage, her dark and magnetic "Dearest Teddy" had become a "deserter" who caused Plath to miscarry after he "beat me up physically". Did the future poet laureate really push his pregnant wife around this way? We cannot be certain.
By the time Plath was legally separated from Hughes in July 1962, she was left to fend for her two small children (one of whom, Nicholas, would later take his life). Alone and miserable in a rented London flat, she was desperate for a live-in help. "I shall try for a good Catholic," she wrote to the Irish poet Richard Murphy, adding half-jokingly, "and maybe she can convert me".
A strong-willed woman, Plath primarily lived for her writing. A dinner at TS Eliot's house in Ted's company was "one of those holy evenings". Sharp portraits of Thom Gunn ("a very sweet British poet"), the Catholic poet Elizabeth Jennings and the London Magazine editor Alan Ross enliven the letters considerably. In her happier days of marriage, Plath is busy cooking, rug-braiding, trimming the Christmas tree and learning Italian. She makes clothes for her baby daughter Frieda, who would become her literary executor following Olwyn's death.
The letters are not as "complete" as the editors claim. Elizabeth Sigmund, to whom The Bell Jar is dedicated, received a long letter from the poet on the eve of her suicide. It contained the words: "I can't help sighing for lost Edens, but I think I've found my own strength now." The letter is absent. Is it under seal? If so, why? It prompts the question of what Plath herself would have cared to publish were she still alive.

Bank of America's $16.65 Billion Settlement
By Robert M. Siegel on August 28, 2014 Posted in Legislation/Regulation
In what is being reported as the largest settlement ever between the U.S. and a single business entity, Attorney General Eric Holder and Associate Attorney General Tony West announced Thursday that Bank of America Corp. ("BofA") has agreed to pay $16.65 billion to settle accusations by the Department of Justice that it, as well as Countrywide Financial Corp. ("Countrywide") and Merrill Lynch & Co. ("Merrill"), sold residential mortgage securities backed by "toxic" loans in the run up to the financial crisis in 2008. The payment includes almost $10 billion to be paid to settle federal and state civil claims and penalties, and $7 billion to be paid in the form of relief to aid hundreds of thousands of consumers harmed by the financial crisis precipitated by the unlawful conduct of lenders like BofA, Merrill Lynch and Countrywide. This settlement comes on the heels of deals reached by the government with JPMorgan Chase in the sum of $13 billion and Citigroup in the sum of $7 billion.
At a news conference, Attorney General Eric Holder said BofA, Countrywide, and Merrill Lynch had "engaged in pervasive schemes to defraud financial institutions and other investors" by misrepresenting the soundness of residential mortgage-backed securities ("RMBS"). He stated that "[t]hese [RMBS] loans contained material underwriting defects; they were secured by properties with inflated appraisals; they failed to comply with federal, state, and local laws; and they were insufficiently collateralized. Yet these financial institutions knowingly, routinely, falsely and fraudulently marked and sold these loans as sound and reliable investments."
In a statement of facts included in the settlement, BofA has acknowledged that it sold billions of dollars of RMBS without disclosing to investors key facts about the quality of the RMBS loans. It has also acknowledged that it originated risky mortgage loans and made certain misrepresentations about the quality of those loans to Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and the Federal Housing Administration.
The settlement doesn't release the bank from criminal charges and the Department of Justice has reserved the right to file both criminal and civil charges against individuals. However, the settlement fails to identify a single executive responsible for the fraud. This has ignited a call for more transparency in these deals:
"This settlement thickens the list of private deals between government litigators and the largest financial institutions. As Public Citizen's recent report demonstrates, the Department of Justice has largely shied away from aggressively prosecuting Wall Street banks and opted instead for fines and settlements. Fair justice calls for transparent use of the courts where the public can understand the evidence and the adequacy of remedies. Bank of America managers are at the center of the mortgage fraud, but the Justice Department penalty will essentially fall on shareholders who certainly were not conspirators. The corrupt culture of Wall Street won't be reformed until perpetrators are held accountable," said Bartlett Naylor, financial policy advocate, Public Citizen's Congress Watch division.
So what does this settlement mean for former correspondent lenders faced with mortgage loan repurchase and/or indemnification demands from BofA? For one, it should be a further reason to give pause for those facing buyback claims from the bank and focus on the banks' accountability for its share of the mistakes that contributed to the mortgage meltdown. We continue to wonder how BofA can claim with any credibility that it was duped by its correspondent lenders in purchasing "defective" loans. BofA's acknowledgement in the settlement that it understood the risks inherent in the loans that it was purchasing and then securitizing, contradicts BofA's claims asserted against its former correspondent lenders—that it would never have purchased a loan had it believed at the time that the loan was somehow defective.

The Hierophant: a 2021 Archetype
There's something magical about New Year's Eve: the final moments of the year ticking down before our eyes, the promise of a fresh start completely within reach, the opportunity to be someone new, someone different, someone better… The year ahead glitters like a charm, saying it aloud is an incantation of hope–but how long does this optimism stay? When does the present year become a curse? How does that shining promise become the symbol of everything we loathe, every obstacle that has stood in our way?
When 2019 drew to a close, I was in a fog: I had just gotten married, my head was in the clouds, and while my eyes are always on the stars I was wearing some very rosy glasses–I absolutely knew the Saturn conjunctions between Pluto and later Jupiter would bring widespread change, but I was hesitant to abandon my warm and fuzzy emotions for the potential hail of brimstone that could become. I knew Mars would pull ahead as a major planetary player, making 2020 a year of intense Malefic transits, but it was also a numerological 4, a Year of the Emperor. The Emperor is ruled by Aries, the sign Mars spent nearly 6 months of 2020 marching through, a sign of war and martial action–but the Emperor himself also speaks of rigid structure, of control, the proverbial Iron Fist of rulership. It's never been my favourite card in the deck, but again I was hesitant to toss aside my optimism. Instead, I told everyone who asked that they should focus on self empowerment, of creating structures to support their continued development, and to take control of their own problems in order to maintain personal sovereignty.
And then 2020 happened.
Rarely has a year been as literal as 2020. There was the Mars unrest and civil disorder, the Saturn plague and "bad air," the economic hardship of Jupiter in fall and Uranus in Taurus, and all the miscommunications and manipulations of a full set of planetary retrogrades. Sometime around April, I began to realize exactly how negligent I'd been in communicating the year's potential. I suddenly felt as if all my Sagittarian optimism had been grossly irresponsible. The non-committal "love and light" buzzwords I thought I needed in order to be received and appreciated had served no one's best interest, including my own–so I ditched the fluff and started to speak in the language I know best, however harsh I thought it might be. Despite so many obstacles to health and happiness, 2020 forced me to step into a role I might never have been prepared to play: myself. When the year began to draw to a close and people started to ask what the year ahead would bring, I could tell from the sparkle in their eyes and tug of a hopeful smile on their lips that they wanted the love and light brush-off. They wanted to be told that everything would go back to normal, that we were done with the isolation and despair, that their favourite bars would reopen and they'd get to watch their favourite sports team play amongst thousands of adoring fans and we'd never hear the words "infection rate" again.
But that's not really how things work.
Like attracts like, and whenever there is a period of change you'll often find continued rapid change in its wake. "Normal" is a distant fantasy in both directions. We may never return to the world we knew before, but there is a world after and it's time to start paying Very Close Attention to the changes that come.
2021 is the Year of the Hierophant.
When I ran the numbers and arrived at the Hierophant as our annual archetype, I can't say I was relieved. It may not be the rigid warmonger, but it's still a card of structure and discipline. It's still a card of power held by one to represent the many. But I already knew it was the truth thanks to a few curious transits and the general course of history. In the first tarot decks, the Hierophant was called the Pope, a reference still evident in the Smith-Waite decks by the papal trappings and vestments. As the Pope, he occupies two very different spaces and depending upon your own worldview, you may not see him as anything but one or the other. To the faithful, the Pope is the Mouthpiece of God, a Descendent of Saint Peter, here to lead by example and gently tend the flock. He is a teacher, imparting wisdom through inspirational sermons and long-forgotten quotes, taking a new generation of clergy under his wing and installing them as new cornerstones of faith. Or is he simply another bureaucrat posing as a savior? More of the same from the powers that be, dressed in the blood of martyrs?
Pamela Coleman Smith portrays him in the midst of a benediction given to two acolytes as he sits enthroned. On his head, the triple tiara could represent the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit or the more modern Subconscious, Conscious, and Superconscious depending on which Church you prefer to ascribe to, and echoes of this triplicity ring back at us everywhere we look. Is it synchronicity, an emphasis of the Holy Trinity, the number of creation? Or perhaps it's conscious design, a message constructed to instill the feeling of sacred serendipity? His white vestments are covered by flowing red robes meant to honor the innocent blood spilled in the name of God, a constant reminder of the unyielding faith–and lurid violence–that built this institution. His acolytes wear the red roses and white lilies of purity and natural wonder, but their shaved heads denote complete devotion to their earthly master as they wait for his order. To them, the Hierophant is a beloved teacher, a mentor, a bearer of Heavenly Truth. But does he know them by name? Does he lovingly usher them into a better life? Or are they simply part of a larger mass, anonymous faces indistinct from any before or after?
At its highest potential, the Hierophant is a respected teacher, a keeper of life-giving tradition, the one who gives order to the chaos that spiritual awakening can quickly become. But with the pressure of the material world crushing down at all times that potential is rarely allowed to express. We need to remain quantifiable, controllable, to live within the system set out for us no matter the name, and unfortunately the Hierophant at its worst is just another one of these systems.
2020 closed on a very particular energy–the Great Conjunction. In my forecast for Capricorn Season, I mentioned that this aspect is something of a Kingly Eclipse, an omen that foretells the rise and fall of dynasties and their rulers. According to legend, the Star of Bethlehem was a Great Conjunction under Pisces, heralding in a new age of compassion. While we've heard the Age of Aquarius thrown around for the better part of the last hundred years, there has not been an aspect of this magnitude under the sign until now. If the Age of Aquarius is to begin in this century, this seems to be the place. But expression is even more difficult when you're looking at something that contains multitudes: in order for the Age of Aquarius to be the "mystic crystal revelation and the mind's true liberation," we all need to reach for much greater heights. Especially when the lower expression of Aquarius includes Big Tech and the Church of Science. It's long been said that Aquarius is "for the people, not of the people," and it's this aspect of the Hierophant I believe we need to look at.
The Hierophant may be the head of the government's spiritual arm, but he is still an appointed official. Historically, the Pope was elected from the wealthiest families in Europe giving them a controlling stake in politics where they may have lost out through other means. Families with multiple sons often sent one into the clergy to rise through the ranks in case they could not secure a more prestigious marriage for another. It's worth noting here that the Hierophant is ruled by Taurus, a sign that governs conservatism and the acquisition of wealth: the Hierophant is an elite figure, untouchable, enthroned, surrounded by the comforts afforded to him not only through high birth but through the sacrifices of the faithful he represents. He is a symbol of wisdom and salvation for millions, yet we will never know whether he holds those same beliefs himself. It is ultimately in his best interest that things remain the same.
In 2021, Jupiter will move quickly through Aquarius, accelerating progress and working together with Saturn and co-ruling Uranus to expand wealth in areas like cryptocurrency and even more abstract forms of monetary energies. In mid-May, the Greater Benefic pulls ahead and rushes into Pisces, a sign he co-rules with Neptune who's been home since 2011. For all intuitives, mystics, and sages, this is the time: between May and July, Jupiter's transit through the Cosmic Ocean will light up the subconscious, but we'll still need to listen very carefully. Pisces is also the sign of Self Undoing, and with our egos in a fragile state, we're ripe for false messiahs to lead us astray. The Hierophant can easily become a zealot, manipulating the iron fist of the Emperor or worse, leading his own army of faithful into battle, and this is the energy we need to avoid during Jupiter's ingress and subsequent retrograde.
So how do we make this the year we've so optimistically waited for? How do we avoid cursing this year like all the others? After combing through charts, flipping cards, and reading countless papers, histories, and studies, I've come up with an incantation to summon strength and agency:
"Who benefits?"
These two words can chase away the spectres of ideology. It turns the icons of control on their head and forces us to examine them anew. It reveals the Hierophant for who he truly is and encourages us to place our faith where it truly matters. It may not reverse all the damage we've done along the way, it may not collapse the system or topple the plutocrats, but it destroys the illusion of peace and progress and encourages us to find new ways to take back control. As we move from the Second Fish of Pisces into the Age of Aquarius, we learn that charity is rarely altruistic and everyone has a motive. It's only by asking "who benefits" that we begin to see what those motives are.
It's natural that after so much change and upheaval, we want to look to others for guidance. The Hierophant represents this deep need for a teacher to steer us through the wreckage and show us how to pick up the pieces and start anew. But the Hierophant is a renewable figure, the latest in a long line of figureheads. Without a keen grasp of history, you may not even be able to tell one from the other. Instead of pinning all your hopes on this latest manifestation, take that power for yourself. Understand that you have access to the same lineage of wisdom because it exists within the collective of which you are apart. The Hierophant may be a highborn son of wealth and status, but his titular power comes from the faithful who put their trust in him. If this trust is revoked, the power comes home. Make 2021 the year you finally recall your power. Start the schism. Slowly but surely, you'll begin to see the benefits.

Players Demand Warzone Devs To Add Quitting Punishments
Players want quitters to be punished!
By Jon Nicholson
With the start of Warzone Season 6 right around the corner, the excitement surrounding the final season of the Black Ops Cold War era is beginning to build. As players continue to drop into Verdansk and Rebirth Island, some are growing tired of teammates leaving a match before it has come to an end.
Quitting a match when there's still a chance of scoring a win is far from ideal, especially when you're one of those still alive and need some assistance from a teammate. In a bid to prevent players from ditching their squad, players have requested a penalty to be added if a player does decide to leave a match early.
Read More: Warzone Season 6: Everything We Know
Warzone Leaving Penalty
The request comes from Reddit user 'Binarycold' who described their experience of playing Warzone with random players. They claim that "no one can ever stay in a full game," which is far from ideal in Duos, Trios, and Quads matches.
The user also states that every mode should be branded as "solos pending" due to a lack of patience amongst some players. To prevent players from abandoning matches, Binarycold claims that there needs to be "some penalty for quitting out."
Warzone wouldn't be the first battle royale title to implement a system to deter players from leaving a match. Apex Legends contains a similar system in Ranked and Arenas matches in a bid to prevent frustrated players from leaving their teammates at a huge disadvantage.
When Will Warzone Add A Quitting Penalty?
It's currently unclear as to whether a quitting penalty will be arriving into Warzone but if the demand from players is there, it will be hard for Raven Software to ignore. If the battle royale does implement a fully-fledged ranked mode, we could see one arrive then but until that day arrives, players will be able to quit as and when they please for the foreseeable future.
In the meantime, check out this bizarre Sai bug that is silencing footstep audio.

Q: C file pointer read write issues I was trying to make a simple bubblesort program.
Read in numbers from a text file and compare them with the next line, sort in ascending order.
Now, I've found my program is able to read from the file just fine, it's when I use any write commands (fprintf, or fputs) that everything goes wrong.
I've tried using ftell and fseek and I had the same issue.
Assuming the text file contains:

1804289383
846930886
1681692777
1714636915
1957747793
424238335
719885386
1649760492
596516649

It gets stuck in an infinite loop with

846930886

846930886
8804289383
8804289383 ...

as the output to the file and 8804289383 repeating over and over
int main(void) {

int swapped;
int run_once;

// pointers

FILE *filep;

// file positions

fpos_t currpos;
fpos_t prevpos;
fpos_t nextpos;

            /**
              * next pos helps represent where the file pointer was
              * before the switch was initiated
            */

// swap variables

unsigned long long int prev;
unsigned long long int curr;

// string inputs

char buffer[20];

// open file stream

filep = fopen("dataFile.txt","r+"); // looks for the file to open for r/w

if (filep == NULL) {                        // check for file
    fprintf(stderr, "dataFile.txt does not exist!!\n");
    return 1;
}

// bubble sort

do {
    rewind(filep); // starts the pointers at the start of the file

    fgetpos(filep,&currpos);
    prevpos = currpos;
    nextpos = currpos;

    swapped = 0; // swapped = false

    curr = 0;
    prev = 0;

    fgets(buffer, 20, filep); // need to read before loop or else it doesn't end properly

    while (!feof(filep)) {      // while it's not the end of the file

        fgetpos(filep,&nextpos);

        sscanf(buffer,"%lld",&curr); // convert to unsigned long long

        printf("Prev: %lld\n",prev);    // troubleshooting stuff
        printf("Curr: %lld\n",curr);

        if (prev > curr) {
            fsetpos(filep,&prevpos);    // move filep to previous
            fprintf(filep,"%lld\n",curr);   // print current to previous spot

            fsetpos(filep,&currpos);    // move filep to current
            fprintf(filep,"%lld\n",prev);   // print previous to current spot

            printf("Swapped!\n");   // more troubleshooting

            swapped = 1;        // swapped = true

            fsetpos(filep,&nextpos);    // reset filep by moving it to nextpos
        }

        if (prev < curr) {
            prev = curr;    // no need to swap since prev will continue to be the previous value
        }

        // increment the postions
        prevpos = currpos;
        currpos = nextpos;

        fgets(buffer, 20, filep);
     }

} while (swapped == 1);

// close file stream

fclose(filep);

return 0;

}
Thanks you very much for your help, because I've spent over 10 hours trying to figure out how to fix this with no luck.

A: Hmm, I might reconsider the approach.

*

*Is it really your intention to do an external sort? If not, it would be a lot cleaner to just read the file in, sort it in memory, and then write it out.

*Regardless of the previous answer, is it really necessary to sort in place? Even for an external sort, would it be within your problem parameters to write out a new file instead of trying to bash a single file into sorted order?

*I guess bubble sort is the one kind of sort that will actually work while editing a text file with variable-length-lines in place, because whenever you want to write a long number on to a short line you also have a short number and a long line right next to it. (Shudder)

If you really do want to do an external sort in place, then my suggestion is that you refactor the operations into small functions so you can decompose the necessary logic without getting confused.
Update: Forget the above advice, I've decided I like this problem just the way it is. Unfortunately I've already read Yuliy's answer.

A: Your code to swap two adjacent characters is flawed. Note that if you have two numbers 1 and 234, they appear inside the file initially as 1\n234\n, but if swapped, the 1 does not start at index 2 in the file (where the 234 initially started), but instead at index 4.
As a result, if you swap two numbers prev and curr, with prev being the earlier of the two numbers in the file initially, place curr at prev's position, and prev after the newline after you finished writing curr. Note that this is a local change (since the len(prev) + len(curr) == len(curr) + len(prev).

A: You're not going to be able do that in the general case since your numbers have differing numbers of characters. You should just read in all the numbers, sort in memory, and then overwrite the existing file with a new file containing the sorted numbers.

A: Add some stuff to your troubleshooting and you should see your probably come up pretty quickly:
printf("CurPost: %d\n",currpos);
printf("PrevPos: %d\n",prevpos);
printf("NextPos: %d\n",nextpos);
(hint: your numbers are different lengths so your currpos and nextpos numbers end up one place out, because some numbers are different lengths than other numbers).
Your program will only work if every number on each line of the file is the same size.
Even then you have some other problems, like the last number in the file will never move.

Family therapy is considered an integral part of treatment at ECS Psychological Services, P.C. This can often be used in conjunction with individual therapy or couples counseling. Utilizing the family system in treatment provides the therapist and the family the opportunity to view the whole system and to gain access into unhealthy familial patterns. It can also help families identify the various roles they play within the family structure, and can help them navigate through difficult life changes, such as the death of a loved one, the loss of a job, or dealing with a family member's mental or physical illness.
Therapy can help families develop better communication skills, thus improving the quality of family interactions as a whole. Additionally, it can teach families successful conflict resolution skills. Treating one individual alone may not always be beneficial, as the whole family needs to change and adjust as well. Thus treating one member of the family and not taking into consideration the effects on the whole family can, at times, sabotage treatment. There may be times when family therapy is not indicated and this would be determined on a case-by-case basis. There may also be times when the whole family is not in agreement to participate in treatment. This should not prevent those interested members of the family from seeking treatment and learning new skills to use within the family system.

A new study says that there's nothing wrong in pregnant women consuming coffee in moderation; according to the study's findings, this habit has no chance of affecting the IQ of their unborn babies.
The study revealed that expecting mothers who consumed caffeine didn't give birth to babies with more behavior problems or lower IQs compared to babies born to women who didn't have coffee during pregnancy.
In the study published in the American Journal of Epidemiology on November 19, the researchers have written that they couldn't gather any evidence that prove that caffeine consumption during pregnancy has a bad impact on children's behavior and cognition between the ages of 4 and 7 years.
Study coauthor Sarah Keim, Ohio State University College of Medicine's assistant professor of epidemiology and pediatrics, said that on the whole she and her colleagues believe that the results put forward by their study would be reassuring for expecting mothers who consume caffeine in moderation or just one or two cups of coffee a day.
During the study, researchers analyzed blood samples of 2,197 pregnant women for the level of a compound known as paraxanthine at two different points during their pregnancy. For those who don't know: when we consume caffeine, our system breaks it down into a number of compounds; paraxanthine is one of those compounds.
The blood samples were collected during the course of a 25-year long study called the Collaborative Perinatal Project. It was a study that explored connections between children's health, pregnancy, and different perinatal factors.
Keim and her co-researchers compared the levels of paraxanthine with the children's behavior and IQ when they were between 4 and 7 years of age. All samples investigated during this new study were collected between the years 1959 and 1974; it was a time when drinking coffee was very common among expecting moms. This allowed the researchers to get hold of a much wider range of caffeine intake levels compared to what they would have got if the study was conducted based on today's data.
This, however, is not the first research to suggest that caffeine consumption in moderation might not be harmful for pregnant women. A study in 2012 revealed that there's no connection between caffeine habits of moms and their babies' chances of waking up at night.

Biosocial factors, sexual orientation and neurocognitive functioning
Qazi Rahman, Glenn D Wilson, Sharon Abrahams

It has been proposed that sexual orientation related differences in cognitive performance are either due to the actions of prenatal factors early in development or the influence of gender role learning. This study examined the performance of 240 healthy, right-handed heterosexual and homosexual males and females (N = 60 per group) on a battery of cognitive tasks comprising mental rotation, judgement of line orientation (JLO), verbal fluency, perceptual speed and object location memory. Measures were also taken of the psychological gender, birth order, sibling sex composition and the 2nd to 4th finger length ratios of the right and left hands. A series of stepwise regression analyses revealed that sex and sexual orientation were the strongest predictors of cognitive performance, with IQ also contributing considerable variance. Psychological gender (M/F scores) added a small, but significant, amount of variance to mental rotation and perceptual speed scores in addition to these main factors, but prenatal hormone related indices, such as 2nd to 4th finger ratios, birth order and sibling sex composition added no independent predictive power. These findings are discussed in relation to biosocial influences on cognitive differences between heterosexuals and homosexuals.

Reader Jokes #2
by Conor Friedersdorf
Two old men, next door neighbors, meet every evening to walk their dogs.
"You know what?" Harry says one evening. "Twenty years walking through this park, and we've never once stopped in at that bar to have a drink."
"Sure, I'm thirsty," Dick says. "But we've got the dogs."
"Oh, I've already thought of that," Harry says. "Just follow my lead."
So they walk over to the bar, where sitting on a stool outside the door is a bouncer.
"Sorry gents, no pets in here," the bouncer says.
"Oh, you don't understand," Harry replies, "this is my seeing eye dog."
"Oh, I beg your pardon," the bouncer says. "Go right ahead."
So Harry leads his German Shepard into the bar, while Dick steps before the bouncer.
"Sorry sir, no pets," the bouncer says.
"Oh, you don't understand," says Dick. "This is my seeing eye dog too. We're all friends over at the old folks home for blind people."
The bouncer looks suspiciously at Dick.
"I don't know, buddy," he says, "they gave you a chihuahua for a seeing eye dog?"
Says Dick, "They gave me a chihuahua?!"

Will Power looking forward to having Josef Newgarden as teammate
(Photos: Getty Images)
Will Power is looking forward to establishing a close working relationship with new Team Penske teammate Josef Newgarden.
At a Team Penske event Friday in Charlotte, Power offered high praise for his new teammate.
"To me, it was an obvious signing," Power said. "If I put myself in the position of a team owner and you were going to sign someone, that would be the guy. If I were a team owner, I would sign that guy.
"He's experienced now, he's fast and he's young, so he's going to be around for quite a while. And he's good on all disciplines. I couldn't pick anyone else out in the field that you would put, he would be at the very top of the list and that's why he ended up there."
Josef Newgarden
Newgarden joins Power, 2016 Verizon IndyCar Series champion Simon Pagenaud and Helio Castroneves as the 2017 Team Penske IndyCar lineup.
"I've been spending a bit of time with him and they were asking him how many suits (fire suits) he wants for the weekend," Power said of Newgarden. "He was really blown away by the fact that he can have however many suits he wants to use over a race weekend and how many gloves and shoes."
Power already has some advice for his new teammate.
"Obviously, I want to say to him, if there's anything you want to develop or have an idea, push it with your engineer because these guys have the resources to do anything," he said. "I think that's what's going to be eye-opening for him, the attention to detail and what they can do."
Having signed with Team Penske earlier this week, Newgarden will be put to work right away. He tests Monday at Road America and then Thursday, Oct. 13, at Gateway Motorsports Park.
"I think (with Newgarden) joining the team, it's always great to get straight in the car," Power said. "He's getting in the car at Elkhart (Lake), he'll get accustomed to his guys, new crew chief and new engineer.
"It's actually very restrictive testing, so it'll be great for him to get to know these guys. It's important. And from a team perspective, it's really the only tests you get to go to until February or so, just before the first race. It's very important."
Power said one of the biggest plusses Newgarden brings to Team Penske is his technical knowledge and expertise.
"He's a fast driver, it just gives you immediate data to look at," Power said. "Like if he's quicker than you in a sector, he always has good ideas and different ideas because he came from another team, a single car team. He knows in his head what worked and what didn't work.
"And sometimes bringing fresh ideas into a team helps, too. I just think it'll be another guy in there that's very efficient with the way he does things, and he's very quick which always pushes everybody else and lifts the level of the game."
Power was also asked about Juan Pablo Montoya, whose role on Team Penske is being taken by Newgarden.
There have been several reports that Montoya may remain with Team Penske but shift to racing sports cars full-time on the IMSA circuit.
Other reports have Montoya wanting to stay in IndyCar, but likely moving to another team. One of the most mentioned rumors is a potential "trade": Montoya could potentially replace Newgarden at the latter's now former team, Ed Carpenter Racing.
"I don't know what Juan is doing, honestly I'm not sure," Power said. "Obviously, Juan had his strengths and what he brought to the team.
"I don't know how much it's going to change when your taking someone out and putting someone in.
"Juan was obviously a really good driver and I think if he ends up somewhere else, he'll wind up being strong competition for the team."

England 0-0 Scotland – Match analysis
With a Wembley fixture, an expectant crowd and weather the players are accustomed to, England contrived to squander the benefits of home advantage in a fixture that underlined the constraints preventing this talented group from achieving greatness on the international stage.
Southgate's men showed some early promise, particularly through the craft and guile of Foden, before fading into the predictable patterns of play and lack of courage in their own ability that continues to hold them back.
The industry, link up play and quality that won Kalvin Phillips plaudits in the first match was missing in this second tournament outing and without it the team looked bereft of ideas.
Southgate's continued faith in Harry Kane, anonymous against Croatia and invisible tonight, must lead the manager's staunchest fans to question his ability to adapt in-game in time to affect its outcome. It could be argued that his over-reliance on Kane in Moscow was one of the reasons for England's inability to overcome the Croatians in the semi-final defeat, as he continued to overlook the talents of the in-form Jamie Vardy, while a sluggish and obviously injured Kane stumbled through a game that he was unable to influence.
England's build-up tonight was slow and risk-averse, particularly on the right flank, where Reece James was one of two changes Southgate made for what should have been seen as a very winnable game. For Chelsea, James displays a great balance between attacking intent and competent defending, yet in a game that should be seen as an easier fixture than the opening game, James appeared to lack the confidence to pass the ball forward or attempt a telling cross.
Poor as England were, Scotland excelled. Their organisation in defence and energy in pressing England, cheered on by a buoyant support, saw them first to most of the second balls, and their midfield distribution was unquestionably superior. Time and again they were allowed too much space and time on the ball by an England team that seemed unwilling to engage them.
It will have been of no surprise to most England fans watching, that Scotland were allowed the opportunity to deliver a number of testing crosses into the England penalty area, that but for the excellence of Jordan Pickford in goal and the lack of quality finishing, England could well have found themselves on the wrong end of a humiliating defeat.
Southgate eventually brought Grealish on in the 63rd minute, but incredibly, the player he took off was England's most potent attacking force up to that point – Phil Foden. Kane was belatedly hooked for Rashford on 73 minutes but ultimately, all was in vain.
England face the Czech Republic in their final game and the surprise group leaders will not be overawed by anything they have seen from Southgate's men. With four points from two games, England will probably advance, limping over the line into the last sixteen where their tactical limitations will almost certainly be exposed and exploited by wilier and more dangerous teams.
If England are to progress in this competition Southgate must ditch his caution-first approach and unlock the abundance of creative talent at his disposal. He must think the unthinkable and drop Harry Kane.
There is an abundance of potential goal-scorers in this team and Southgate shouldn't be afraid to drop a player who isn't affecting the game, no matter who he is. With three points in the group already this was the perfect opportunity to take the handbrake off. Why not consider playing Foden in the false number nine position? He has already shown he can take this responsibility for Pep Guardiola at Manchester City this season. Give the England fans something to really get excited about and drop one of the defensive midfielders.
Imagine what this side might achieve with the following line-up:
Sterling Sancho
Grealish Mount
Shaw Mings Stones Trippier
Of course, the cautious England manager is unlikely to attempt such a bold statement of intent, and the team are ultimately made in his image. Southgate's reticence risks squandering one of the most potent attacking forces in this competition and is at odds with the maxim of 'playing to your strengths'. Surely now, the time has come to put trust in his players to play each game with determination to win, instead of with a fear of losing.
