We have a screening for the whole family! A selection of both animated and live action films are in our KIDS SHORTS program - we spoke with directors Pulkit Datta (WISHFUL WHISKERS), Liam Harris (PERCHED), and Peter Stanley-Ward (LITTERBUGS) about their films. Read more below, and join us at the Dreamland 9:45am on Saturday, 6/24!
NFF (To all): Your film is in the "Kids Shorts" block - did you set out to make a kid-friendly film?
Pulkit: I didn't really plan on making a children's film. It organically turned out that way. When the idea for the story first came to me, I just wrote the script out of a burst of inspiration. But I think because the story was always from the perspective of a little girl, and there's so much innocence and wonder in her world, it became labeled as a children's film by people who were reading the script to give me feedback, and how it was evolving. It's always surprising and exciting when a script starts taking its own path, so then I just embraced it as a kid-friendly film. And I'm so glad I did, because so far it's been a hit with all the kids we've shown it to.
Liam: We didn't specifically go out with the idea to make the film for a specific aged range, we intended right from the start that this would be a film for all ages. Having grown up with animated family adventures, I wanted to follow suit and give the audience the opportunity of experiencing the film with each another, no matter where you are from or how old you are.
Peter: We did and we also wanted the whole family to enjoy it. We wanted to make a live-action film with an all kid cast. This is something that was common when we were growing up but isn't so much these days. There are lots of animations for kids now, which we love as well, but wanted to make a film with real kids in for this generation.
NFF (To Pulkit): Can you talk a little about your inspiration?
Pulkit: WISHFUL WHISKERS is a story that's close to my heart. It was inspired by the time I've spent playing with my nephew and niece. I loved experiencing their limitless imagination - they can conjure up entire worlds around them, using the most mundane objects and furniture. That, to me, was incredibly fascinating and fun. So a big part of the inspiration to write the script was from playing games and make-believe with them.
The whole mustache angle came in because it's such a strong and identifiable symbol, and has been over time, around the world. Mustaches signify so many things in different places. It's a universal thing. And it's so intertwined with gender identity. Everyone likes to have fun by pretending to have a mustache, even women. So I thought, what if in the world of the film, the little girl actually wants a mustache? It's a way to play with gender boundaries within the context of a children's film. And it's fun!
NFF (To Liam): Which shows or animators influenced you most?
Liam: I would say one of my most influential animators would be Richard Williams (Who Framed Roger Rabbit). He is one of the original pioneers of 2D animation and at the ripe old age of 84 he still animates on paper today, which is extraordinary! Not only that he has since taken on the role of tutor to thousands of up and coming animators, which is truly inspiring. His recent film 'Prologue' was nominated for a BAFTA and an Oscar which like I said at his age is really unbelievable, I can't say enough how much belief that gives a young animation filmmaker like myself. I hope to still be as enthusiastic and devoted about animating when I reach his age!
NFF (To Peter): The production design is so wonderfully specific. Did you have the world in mind when you were originally conceiving the shoot?
Peter: Thank you and yes, we did have a very clear idea of what we wanted this world to look and feel like. This began with lots of preparation and included mood boards that evoked the tone and palette we wanted, and a location scout to make sure we found the right place. Marie Lana was our production designer on Litterbugs and she understood this world totally. The sets she built for us were amazing and it took our breath away every time we walked onset. We also wanted a rusty metal vibe throughout the whole movie, so very deliberately, virtually every frame has some sort of rusty metal in it.
NFF (To all): Why are you excited to show the film in Nantucket, and/or what do you hope Nantucket families will take away?
Pulkit: I've heard great things about Nantucket Film Festival, so I was excited when WISHFUL WHISKERS was selected for the festival. I'm always fascinated by how kids react to this film because they're always very honest. And so far, kids (and adults) have been picking up on different themes and moments of the film. So I'm looking forward to screening the film for Nantucket families to see what jumps out at them. It's a film that I hope encourages and inspires people to think beyond traditional boundaries of social norms and re-embrace their inner child. And above all that, it's a joyful film, and for me, a successful screening is simply when the film makes the audience smile.
Peter: It's amazing to have our little film go to places like Nantucket. We wanted kids from around the globe to see this, but we never dreamed it would reach so many families all over the world. We are very proud of the whole film and the message against bullying and in support of friendship is universal, and it seems to mean a lot to many people. Nantucket is a great festival and it's a real honour to be a part of this year's line-up. We're especially excited to be in the kid's short section. I think if the audience can have just a taste of the wonder that the films I grew up with gave me, then everybody who made Litterbugs would be very happy with that.

Silence | Amplification
A focused and intensive process to engage in research, generate artistic material, develop and hone pedagogical strategies, and examine my responsibility and accountability as a dance artist.
Silence | Amplification is also an access point to engaging with
individual and collective lived experiences, personal narratives, and sociocultural contexts.
Read below to learn more...
I begin with the following core questions:
In What Ways Do I Feel Silenced?
In What Ways Do I Feel Amplified?
How Do My [daily/creative/professional] Practices Silence Or Amplify Others?
Silence | Amplification at its surface is an auditory metaphor,
yet I am drawing on it to engage in a multi-sensory endeavor:
what we see, hear, taste, touch, smell, and how we move.
I have become more acutely aware of impulses that are quieter or louder than others,
and so amplification/silence goes beyond the auditory in that sense... its about consciousness....
I want to make space for all the possibilities these two terms hold -
the multiplicity and complexity of meanings, values, and connotations.
Silence | Amplification process with Spelman Dance Theatre, creating the work "Shine Theory." September - November, 2016.
Presentation of "Shine Theory, Pt. 1" at Studio Sessions #3 presented by the Spelman College Department of Dance. November 18 &19, 2016.
The cast and I began our process with conversations about 'silence' and 'amplification' as terms that serve as dual metaphor for oppression and empowerment. We asked, "How are we silenced? How are we amplified? How in our daily practices do we silence or amplify others?" We engaged in multimodal research through discussion, journaling, poetry, and improvisation. Our movement research led us to the concept of 'shine theory,' described as a mode of support amongst women — particularly women of color — who seek to counter marginalization by asking, "How can we identify, reflect, and amplify each other's contributions, work, innovations? How can we shine light on each other's ideas, stories, and experiences?"
We used silence/amplification and shine theory in our creative process to generate this collaborative work that relies heavily on spontaneous encounters and reciprocal relationships. The dancer's created gestures and phrases from conversational prompts, resulting in a collective movement aesthetic that is unique to this cast. Call and response, mirroring, making space and near misses (or full on collisions) are consistent themes amidst an ever-changing piece. Interwoven into this material is phrase work that I shared with the dancers generated through my ongoing embodied investigation of the ways in which Africanist aesthetics are inscribed, silenced, and/or amplified in my movement.

The National Football League Players Association filed a complaint against the Patriots for not allowing cornerback Malcolm Butler to participate in on-field activities because him missed a voluntary session last month.
The National Football League Players Association filed a complaint against the New England Patriots for not allowing cornerback Malcolm Butler to participate in on-field activities because he missed a voluntary session last month, reports ESPN.com.
According to the report, the NFLPA filed the complaint on Wednesday without Butler's approval.
Butler reportedly showed up late for the first day of offseason team activities on May 26 after his attempt to arrive in Boston the day before was delayed because of inclement weather.
Butler did participate in team meetings and strength workouts, but was not allowed on the field for practice, according to the union complaint.
Butler, 25, is best known for intercepting Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson in the final minute at the goal line to seal the Patriots' 28-24 win in Super Bowl XLIX.
He played in 11 regular season games for New England last season, recording 19 tackles and seven passes defended.
Butler went undrafted out of West Alabama in 2014 and is entering his second NFL season.

Intelligent Systems and Robotics
Adaptive vision for self-driving cars
by Gang Liu | Aug 14, 2020
A new machine vision system can adapt to its surroundings and paves the way for in-situ neuromorphic recognition tasks.
Image credit: Mohamed Sharuwaan on Unsplash
Machine vision is an important part of developing artificial intelligence capabilities and this area of research has attracted a huge amount of attention from the global scientific and industrial communities.
Current state-of-the-art artificial visual systems usually rely on separated high-resolution cameras and software-based neural networks to sense and process images, which can lead to significant latency and energy consumption from these bulky, complex systems. In addition, the fixed photosensitivity of silicon-based image sensors makes them unable to adapt and respond to extremely bright or dim conditions. The resultant, visual disability caused by instant blindness when a camera goes from a dim to a bright situation could be mortally dangerous in instances such as self-driving vehicles. In these types of applications, fast response and accurate reaction to the system's surroundings is a critical necessity.
Recently, scientists from the Shanghai Jiaotong University, Shijiazhuang Tiedao University, and the University of Washington have reported a proof-of-concept full-function machine vision system that can execute true-color, self-adaptive image sensing and in-situ neuromorphic recognition tasks.
By employing an organometal halide perovskite as the active material, they found that the sensor device showed photovoltaic responses within the entire visible spectrum. The photoresponsivity can be further adjusted by optical illumination in a spontaneous manner or modulated with electric field over a wide range. With individually reconfigurable photoresponsivity of each device, the sensor array is capable of achieving adaptive tuning of the image quality in flash blinding or dim environments.
More importantly, the tunable photoresponsivity of the perovskite sensor can also act as tunable synaptic weights and turns the sensory array itself into neural network, which can improve the precision of the system's object recognition capabilities.
This is the world's first demonstration of all-in-one machine vision hardware system. It is a fascinating attempt within the context of the next generation of fundamental circuit elements and new computing paradigm. It will no doubt accelerate the integration of pilotless vehicles and serving robots into our daily lives.
Interestingly, the present perovskite based sensory neural network runs on intrinsic ion migration mechanism, which is usually thought to be detrimental to photo detecting and solar energy harvesting applications. "It like turning trash into treasure' action", said Jinjin Zhao, one of our study's collaborators. "And more diverse applications are being developed for the organic-inorganic hybrid materials by materials scientists and electrical engineers."

Pioneer Jobs
If you were a pioneer, what would your job be? Would you go to college? How would you earn money? Would you retire at age 65? Let's find out.
Most pioneer communities were based on an agricultural economy. That means that the communities revolved around farms. Farmers were usually the first ones to start a community.
Other businesses came to support the farmers. These included a general store where people could buy supplies like sugar, flour, nails, fabric, or medicine. Towns usually had at least one inn and one saloon. There might be a town doctor, a priest, and a teacher.
Blacksmiths made horseshoes, gates, and metal tools. A farrier took care of horses and replaced their shoes. Men might also be hunters, trappers, silversmiths, or carpenters.
Few people went to college, but were apprenticed to learn a trade from a blacksmith, carpenter, or other tradesman. Doctors, teachers, and lawyers usually went to college.
Some forward thinking communities supported the arts, including music, literature, and the visual arts. They built libraries and concert halls. Artists painted murals and portraits.
Women had few career options. Most worked at home, but some became teachers, domestic helpers, or artists.
The four most common occupations included farmworker, carpenter, domestic helper (housekeeper), and a day laborer (miscellaneous work). People working at these jobs earned between .78 and $2.00 per day in 1860, depending on where they lived. Some jobs included room and board (free housing and meals). This means they would have earned less than $500 per year.
Eggs cost around .33 a dozen, while pioneers could buy a barrel of flour for $8. Fabric to make clothing cost .19 a yard, and you could rent a four-room house for $10 a month.
People did not retire at age 65. They kept working until they died or couldn't work anymore.
Retire: Leave the work force
Forward thinking: to thoughtfully consider the future, as well as multiple priorities
Occupation: job
Question: What parts of the country were the wealthiest?
Answer: In New England lived many prosperous families whose ancestors had lived there for generations. These people were usually well educated and had more resources than most.
California became a wealthy state in the mid-to-late 1800s with the discovery of gold and rich farm land. Wealthy plantation owners lived in the South, although much of that wealth was destroyed during the Civil War.

Atlantic City Casinos On Road To Recovery, Covid Uncertainty Lingers
Written By David Danzis on August 31, 2021 - Last Updated on November 26, 2021
Atlantic City casinos are still creating profits even as the entire industry continues to recover from economic losses suffered during the height of the coronavirus pandemic.
Atlantic City casinos reported $169.42 million of gross operating profit in the second quarter of 2021, according to the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement. Three stand-alone iGaming licensees reported a combined $15.76 million in GOP over the same period.
That is a clear improvement compared to the $112.5 million in operating losses in the second quarter of 2020. Remember, Atlantic City casinos were closed for all of April, May, and June last year, and only iGaming was permitted.
However, most of the industry generated higher profits in 2021 compared to pre-pandemic levels in 2019. Other market indicators, such as net revenue, non-gaming revenue, and industry employment, are lagging.
Here is a look at some key takeaways from recent Atlantic City casino data.
Atlantic City casinos report strong 2Q profits
Gross operating profit "is a widely-accepted measure of profitability in the Atlantic City gaming industry," notes the NJDGE.
The combined GOP of the nine brick-and-mortar casinos was 11.2% higher than 2019's $152.35 million.
Eight casinos were profitable last quarter and seven reported profit gains in 2021 compared to 2019.
Borgata's $40.4 million this year was a 27% drop from two years ago but still led the AC market by more than $12 million.
Tropicana ($28 million, +24%), Hard Rock ($26.1, +131%), Harrah's Resort ($24.9 million, +8%), Caesars ($18.5 million, +13.5%), Ocean ($17 million, +1,516%), Resorts ($7.3 million, +37%), and Golden Nugget ($10.7 million, +6%) all outperformed 2019.
Bally's reported a quarterly operating loss of $3.5 million. But, the casino has new owners who are currently spending four times the property's $25 million purchase price on capital improvements.
Have you heard about how much online gaming is growing?
In 2021, NJ gaming regulators collect financial reports from three iGaming licensees. There were only two in 2019.
The GOP of the three iGaming entities in 2Q '21 was $8.8 million more than the two in 2Q '19.
The newest entity, Golden Nugget Online Gaming, reported $7.8 million. Meanwhile, Caesars Interactive Entertainment NJ reported $4.4 million and Resorts Digital posted $3.6 million.
Tale of two revenue streams for Atlantic City casinos
Net revenue includes casino win (minus promotional spending) and non-gaming amenities, such as restaurants, hotel rooms, entertainment, and conventions
Combined net revenue for the 12 reporting entities was $726.57 million, according to the NJDGE.
The 10% difference from 2019's $806.8 million is largely due to declines in non-gambling revenue which fell by nearly 23% in 2Q '21 compared to the same period in 2019.
For much of the second quarter of 2021, indoor services were restricted because social distancing and masks were still required inside.
The decline would have been worse if not for online gaming and sports betting. The growing gaming segments continue to offset dips in land-based gambling revenue for Atlantic City casinos.
Net gaming revenue in the second quarter of 2021 exceeded 2019 by 3%.
The industry term is 'operational efficiencies'
Increased profitability with declining revenues usually signifies cost-cutting measures are taking place.
Indeed, Atlantic City casinos have slimmed down their operations. Compared to 2019, general operating expenses were down more than $30 million, or nearly 10%, in 2021.
Most notable of all is the industrywide reduction in labor costs, which is down nearly 5%. Atlantic City casinos are employing almost 6,000 fewer people today than two years ago. And that figure does not actually include employees still on mandatory furlough or leave of absence.
Casino operators say they are having trouble finding people to work. This problem was exemplified at Borgata, which did not open The Water Club hotel until well into the summer because of labor shortages.
Atlantic City casinos primed for strong 3Q in 2021, too
Most indications are that Atlantic City casinos are enjoying a lucrative summer. June and July set all-time monthly records for total gambling revenue.
Of course, the uncertainty surrounding the Delta variant of COVID-19 lingers over the future.
"Relaxation of restrictions on non-gaming amenities, mass vaccination, and the return of warm weather should help non-gaming revenues grow in the third quarter," said Jane Bokunewicz, coordinator of the Lloyd D. Levenson Institute of Gaming, Hospitality and Tourism (LIGHT) at Stockton University. "If, despite the impacts of a surge in the Delta variant, the city's casino operators continue on the path set this spring, we should expect to see even stronger returns in third quarter 2021 and, in time, a recovery in non-gaming revenues as consumers return to pre-pandemic activities."

"Mino has at all times requested me to…
Soccer / Asked, Mino, to
It's issued immediately, within the hours 3:30 p.m and the 7:45 p.m "The market girl", the unique interview performed by Gianluca Di Marzio with the lawyer Rafaela Pimenta they're Sky Sports activities 24, channel 200 from the Sky decoder. The particular can even be out there on Sky On Demand.
For the primary time, Rafaela Pimenta talks about herself in a TV interview: from her relationship with Raiola to her shopper background: then her phrases on the Sky Sport microphones.
"La dama del mercat": the interview with Rafaela Pimenta broadcast on Sky Sport
Rafaela pepper he started by speaking in regards to the relationship along with his clients: "The participant offers you energy. I hope different ladies can even discover inspiration in me for no matter they need to do."
About his previous: "I used to be a legislation professor, however there I began speaking about soccer and sports activities legislation. I've by no means actually recognized one other world from an expert viewpoint."
About how he met Mino Raiola: "I met Mino in Brazil, he labored in an organization owned by Rivaldo and César Sampaio, they'd an organization. It was known as RSC. I used to be doing the authorized half, establishing this membership. One superb day I'm going to their RSC workplace and there was somebody sitting there, smoking like loopy and asking 1000 questions. However actually 1000 questions, I wished to know the legislation, what the nation was like. I wished to know every thing so we began chatting. On the second day he confirmed up there with a man and mentioned to me: 'This can be a participant from San Paolo and he has to go to Italy: what ought to I do? Discover me a manner" and he mentioned critically, as a result of he was very new in Brazil at the moment. From that second we actually began to work critically, to do extra structured, extra organized issues. And at a sure second Mino says to me: "However then to do issues critically, why do not you come to Europe?". And he discovered me a foothold in Padua and I assumed I might take it simple for a yr, do every thing and be taught. Two months later there was already a lot noise that I used to be strolling with Mino all over the place."
Concerning the relationship with Raiola: "It was very intense. He may explode thirty occasions a day, I by no means did. When he was nervous, he was at all times calm. If he acquired mad at you immediately, he would not have the ability to bear in mind the following day. He was a really tolerant individual."
Rafaela pepper He additionally spoke in regards to the function of a prosecutor: "Our work is just like that of a lawyer, however the lawyer can't give an opinion. The lawyer is the one who sits down with you and evaluates with you. If the participant does not really feel like selecting, we take it. We're like a type of household."
Rafaela pepper then he continued: "The final phrases that Mino mentioned to me are what he at all times mentioned to me: 'You must be blissful. You do not have to cease your life, you must do one thing that makes you are feeling good.'".
"Mino had no battles, he wished to do issues with out prejudice. He wished to suggest one thing to enter the system and do issues collectively in soccer. as a result of what we do is a mirrored image of what the gamers and the golf equipment do."
They're Haaland: "I feel Haaland he has a secret weapon: his father. He does not get excited, he does not lose and I do not assume he ever will. I've by no means seen a participant go for cash. These come alone." About Italian soccer: "I do not forget that once I began this job, I requested the Brazilian gamers: 'Do you need to come to Europe?', they: 'Sure, the place?'. Me: 'Do you need to go to England?' and so they answered: "However what have I completed to you?". That is as a result of they wished to go to Italy… Everybody wished to go to Italy. Why cannot we revolutionize once more and do extra?".
On the best way again from Pogba at Juventus: "Juventus didn't come right here to speak about Paul. Then they'd come to look at the tennis match they went to the workplace to ask how Mino was doing. We mentioned goodbye and after we had been there this concept was born to name Paul and speak to him a bit and see how he noticed the thought of returning to Juve. Generally they requested about Erling, sure: what was he like, what was his story, how was he doing." On the clause within the Norwegian's contract: "After which by clause, right here the lawyer speaks. I can not speak."
They're Balotelli: "Mario is a man who does his factor, he does what he desires. It has at all times been this manner and it does it with pleasure. So so long as he's satisfied of what he's doing, he's blissful and so are we. Who're we to offer him an thought?"
They're Donnarumma and the choice to go away Milan: "Trying again, it was the proper selection. He performs, he is superb and he does not complain."
They're From Ligt and goodbye to Juventus: "he mentioned: 'It is my time. From the start I had a plan to take sure steps and my time has come', though at all times grateful. I do not agree once they say he criticizes Juve, as a result of that is not what he does."
Rafaela Pimenta instructed us in regards to the skills to be careful for: "I feel that our younger man who has to go up subsequent yr is Xavi Simons".
Rafaela Pimenta lastly concluded: "My first contract mentioned my brother could be my slave for a day. In order a child I at all times wished to be a lawyer and the spirit of being a lawyer, at the very least for me, is to symbolize and defend."

"Players aren't coming through Academies at all anymore, from the age of five they're doing the same training and the search is to identify one for the first team. It's like a factory and box-ticking exercise. Everton have, their kids training four days per week and playing a match on a Saturday. Those include one-on-one sessions, yoga, strength and conditioning and then hand coordination. And these were U9's! That's mad stuff. I've been around to a few Academies and there's no desire to build a team and let the kids enjoy themselves. England's senior team is like a factory-produced side; they're all pretty similar in terms of how they play. There are, no standout players or character about the side. And it doesn't look like it's changing. They keep going with the same system… Tayo is eight now and plays for Monaco" he reveals. "They just train on a Wednesday and play their match on a Saturday.

First I start this with some important information. Despite what it looks like at the beginning, this is NOT a piece about Brexit. Inspired by something Brexit related, yes. But about Brexit? No.
There is one thing I don't understand. If a general election is deemed to be the solution (and gawd help us if that is the deemed the best answer…), what Brexit policy will they stand on?
I repeat, this is not about Brexit. It's about one word in the above.
It's not a phrase I have come across very much in my life. At least, not spelt out like that. According to Google's Ngram viewer, usage peaked in the 1920s. Perhaps everyone exclaimed it whilst doing the Charleston or something.
I came across it many years later, in a series of Grange Hill novels stocked in my high school library. Books with stories of Ziggy and Whammo and loads of other characters who had long gone from the TV screen. But which I read anyway. And on every page there seemed to be someone whining "Oh Gawd", "Good Gawd", or perhaps just "Gawd!
As a teenager who dilligently went to church every week, I was probably quite anti this taking the Lord's name in vain thing, even if it was mis-spelt. I was quite anti Orbital's song Satan for similar reasons when that came out a few years later. These days I am an athiest. But I still don't use the "Lord's name" in exclamation. Given I don't believe in the existance of any god, it feels like using the word kind of gives the entire principle of them some legitimacy. Besides, why bother when there are much better words beginning with F, T, S and C to use instead?
But they're not words I tend to use in writing. Or very much at all since I had children. So today I dug out gawd from my memory banks. It's a kind of fake swear. An exclamation of disbelief. One that really doesn't mean anything at all.


All of sudden people are shouting at me when I'm out on my bike. Jealousy or booze?
That was the second time I'd heard this bike heckle in a week. The first time it wasn't directed at me, but during The Plough, an episode of the brilliant – well I think it's brilliant – 15 Storeys High. Vince has nicked a plough from a pub and as he drags it through the estate to return it the pub from where he nicked it everyone he meets shouts cycling heckles. Look, you'll just have to watch it. It's funny. No really it is.
Anyway, I said to my wife at the time "You don't get many of those shouted at you anymore." A couple of days later myself and dep. ed Neil are out testing a couple of bikes and we get the milk it shout. That in itself is odd, but as we'd started the ride a college student somehow reduced his mates to tears of laughter with "Bloody hell, the Tour de France…" Must be the spring air. Or the scrumpy.
Of course, not drunk was the young lady who, as myself and Neil passed her this afternoon on another test run, shouted "Nice arse!" Mr Pedoe thinks that the comment was directed at him, but as I was following at the time and had a view of said derriere, I think he'll find she was referring to his boss!

Crimean blockade organizer launches guerrilla 'Tatar battalion' with 'Turkish help'
© Crimea Realities / YouTube
RT,
A self-proclaimed Crimean Tatar leaders and the coordinator of the peninsula's land blockade and power blackout, has claimed that the Turkish defense ministry is helping with the formation of a Tatar battalion tasked with sabotage.
In a set of interviews to Ukrainian media, Lenur Islyamov who represents the unregistered organization "Majlis of Crimean Tatars", announced that the Turkey is taking an active role in the formation of the "Tatar battalion" tasked with "protecting the Crimean frontier" and carrying out attacks inside the peninsula.
"While the Ukrainian Defense Ministry still only scratches its head, the Turkish Defense Ministry has already begun supporting us," said Islyamov, adding that Ankara has so far provided the newly-assembled radical force with boots and uniforms.
The volunteer battalion is allegedly relying on "public donations" so far, but soon, Islyamov hopes, the paramilitary structure will be incorporated into Ukraine's defense forces.
"We now have more than a hundred people who have already entered the battalion as volunteers, but we hope that after all the Ministry of Defense and the Armed Forces of Ukraine, will create and allow the Crimean Tatars to have their own national battalion within the armed forces," Islyamov said in an to 112 Ukraine TV channel.
Islyamov hopes that the new force of around 560 fighters will serve as a "Tatar navy seals" battalion. The main task of the paramilitary unit will be guerrilla warfare and acts of sabotage inside the Crimea.
"The main objective is the protection of the borders of Crimea in Crimea," Islyamov said in the TV interview. "The objectives of this battalion is to strike everywhere we can. In Crimea we know all the trails."
Islyamov called for the further isolation of Crimea and promised to "liberate Tatars" from Russia and return the peninsula to Kiev "within a year." Islyamov, who is a Russian citizen, is already being investigated by the Russian Security Service (FSB) for organizing a ground blockade of Crimea.
The blockade "using all the strength and resources" could begin "at the end of 2015 or the beginning of 2016," Islyamov was quoted saying earlier this month, threatening to disrupt ferry connections across the Kerch Straight, which separates the peninsula and mainland Russia.
The 49-year-old self-proclaimed fighter for the Tatar people's rights said there are many "interesting methods" to organize a naval blockade of the peninsula, where as an extreme measure, "small boats could attack ships that carry goods in Crimea."
In late November, so-called "Tatar volunteers" destroyed several electricity pylons in the Kherson region of southern Ukraine and prevented repair crews from restoring energy supplies via two important power lines leading to Crimea. The power line sabotage operation left more than 1.8 million people in the Black Sea peninsula in a blackout.
Mainland Russia has begun supplying electricity to Crimea earlier this month after the first stage of the energy bridge was commissioned weeks ahead of schedule.
The majority of those living in Crimea today are ethnic Russians – almost
1,200,000 or around 58.3 percent of the population, according to the last national census conducted back in 2001. Some 24 percent are Ukrainians (around 500,000) and 12 percent are Crimean Tatars. However, in Crimea's largest city of Sevastopol, which is considered a separate region, there are very few Crimean Tatars. Around 22 percent are Ukrainians, and over 70 percent of the population are Russians.
While the Majlis is still posing as an official body representing Crimean Tatars, the interregional public movement Qirim held a conference in December, renouncing the self-proclaimed leaders. The previous Qirim congress in summer exposed and rejected an attempt by Majlis to stage an "international Crimean Tatar conference" in Turkey
"The drift of Dzhemilev, Chubarov and Islyamov towards cooperation with extremist groups condemned by the whole progressive world has deprived them of their right to represent Crimean Tatars. From now on, all their statements at any forums should be qualified as personal opinions," said a resolution adopted by the congress.

California Congressional Delegation Stands Up for Our Environment and for Families' Health on a Majority of Votes
Dan Jacobson
Senior Advisor, Environment California
Environment California
Sacramento, CA. (Dec. 6, 2017) — Today, Environment California released its federal scorecard evaluating how the California congressional delegation has voted when it comes to supporting clean air, clean water and other environmental protections. Absences count against a member's score. State Director Dan Jacobson released the following statement:
"The country is terribly polarized these days on all sorts of issues, including the need to protect our environment. It shouldn't be this way and it didn't used to be. Unfortunately the California delegation is no exception.
"Overall, the U.S. Senate scored only 48% and the U.S. House of Representatives scored 45%, which does not bode well for our air or water. The two senators from CA scored 100% and our house members averaged 71 percent. So California is well above the national average.
"We in California can be proud that 27 members from both branches voted with us 100% of the time, which means our planet and our families are represented by a lot of real environmental champs. Real standouts from our delegation were Senator Feinstein, Senator Harris, Congressmembers Matsui, Bera, McNernrey, DeSaulnier, Lee, Speier, Khanna, Eshoo, Lofgren, Panetta, Carbajal, Brownley, Chu, Schiff, Cardenas, Sherman, Aguilar, Torres, Ruiz, Sanchez, Lowenthal, Vargas, Peters, and Davis.
But, unfortunately California also had 14 members, including Congressmenmbers LaMalfa, McClintock, Cook, Denham, Valadao, Nunez, McCarthy, Knight, Royce, Calvert, Walters, Rohrabacher, Issa, and Hunter, who voted with the environment less than 25% of the time.
"The California delegation is a mixed bag when it comes to the environment. Here's hoping our Congresspeople uniformly start to show the kind of strong and effective leadership we need to reflect the core environmental values so many of us share."
Obviously the scores of Mr. Becerra and Mr. Gomez don't reflect an accurate score since they both missed a number of votes with changes in their jobs.

How to understand your cat's body language
Money Talk: Expert advice on how to make it through January without taking on debt
Social Media: Enhancer or Disaster?
Updated Oct. 22, 2020, 8:23 a.m. | By Dorianne Weil & Di Macpherson
The explosive Netflix documentary The Social Dilemma has got the world talking about how social media has been designed to be extremely manipulative of its users. Young people are often most affected. Digital parenting expert, Josh Ramsey, co-founder of Be In Touch - joins 'DrD' today to unpack some potential, and very practical, solutions for parents.
Social media is here to stay. As parents we try and find some balance for our kids in this digital age of devices and screens.
But in a world where we are now beginning to understand how manipulative social media can be, what advice can we offer parents to help avoid and deal with the potentially harmful effects of social media on our children?
Can social media benefit rather than cost us? Digital parenting expert, Josh Ramsey joins 'DrD' to discuss The Social Dilemma, which looks at the reality of mass systematic manipulation of human vulnerability by the biggest tech companies in the world.
"The real goal of social media platforms is not only to get you to become addicted to attention, but it's being addicted to the getting of attention from others. So not only are you addicted to your own interaction with your profile and how many likes that it has, but you're also addicted to the ways in which others are interacting with that platform. So there's more than one layer in which they're getting to compulsively interact with the platform," he tells Dorianne Weil.
It's a must-listen podcast, especially for parents. Click on the play button to listen now, or download it to your computer for later.
In other Thrive with 'DrD' podcasts, the day Daryl Brown decided to take his own life, while living in London some years back, was the day he felt a sense of relief. Relief that his depression and suffering would soon be over. Two months later, he found himself in a London Underground station, waiting for the platform to clear.
Daryl planned to end his life that day in September 2013 by jumping off that platform, as an Underground train was approaching. He had told his friends in London that he was returning to South Africa, and had held a 'farewell' party so he could say goodbye to them. By that time, Daryl had been suffering from depression for over a decade.
In our Thrive with 'DrD' podcast on JacPod, he shares his very personal story of deep depression and failed suicide in the London Underground; of losing both legs - and his subsequent journey from survival to thrival.

F.O.R.G.E. student group to host Abortion Positivity Tour
Kylie Brown|October 16, 2018

A student organization will host Mercer University's first Abortion Positivity Tour Oct. 16. The event will educate audiences on reproductive rights and provide the community with resources, information and activities throughout the day leading up to a rally in support of the new women's health center coming to Macon.
F.O.R.G.E, or Fighting for Our Rights and Gender Equality, is a club on campus that focuses on many issues regarding women's rights. Former president and co-founder Emily Cuarenta said F.O.R.G.E is an "an intersectional feminist organization," meaning that they are "looking at the different ways all types of women's identities are discriminated against."
Cuarenta and current president Emile Harris said they want to use F.O.R.G.E to educate people on the different aspects of every type of women's rights.
The Abortion Positivity Tour is one way they aim to do this. This event will be taking place over the course of the day, starting first at a table in the Connell Student Center. The group will be giving away free shirts, raffles and other gear, as well as information about what Cuarenta, Harris and the rest of F.O.R.G.E believe means to be "abortion positive, as well as body positive."
After the tabling event, they will be hosting a rally in support of the new women's health center that is coming to downtown Macon.
"It should be really fun to celebrate (the center)," Harris said, "because trying to get the abortion center in Macon is a really big deal, considering that it is a low socioeconomic area."
The leading reason women seek abortions is because they cannot afford the child, which is often not their first, according to The LA Times. Studies also suggest that women who cannot access abortions spend more years in poverty than other women.
At the rally, there will be speakers from several organizations and speakers from Atlanta and Macon discussing what it means to be abortion positive. Throughout the day, Harris said the group will be collecting signatures for the "Each Woman Act," which hopes to ensure health coverage for every woman seeking safe, legal abortions and overall make it safer and more accessible.
F.O.R.G.E. is not only a club about women's rights. They have recently become a part of the U.R.G.E, or Unite for Reproductive and Gender Equity. U.R.G.E, Cuarenta said, is an "organization that educates people about their reproductive rights and reproductive opportunities in typically conservative states where they might not be otherwise given the information necessary to make safe educated decisions."
One of F.O.R.G.E.'s main goals is to help inform individuals in the Macon area about these reproductive rights that they have and where services like abortions can be found, Harris said. She believes that "education equals advection" and that through F.O.R.G.E's initiative both here and in Washington, they really have the power to make a difference.
Correction: A previous version of this article stated that the members of FORGE rallied in support of a new crisis pregnancy center in Macon. The article has since been updated to reflect that the group actually supported a women's health center set to open this spring. The center will provide abortion services, according to The Telegraph. Crisis pregnancy centers are generally anti-abortion and do not offer the procedure.

Ray Beltran broke down Hiroki Okada in an action-filled bout Sunday night, stopping him in round nine of their junior welterweight bout at the Save Mart Center in Fresno, California.
It was Beltran's first fight since losing by decision to Jose Pedraza on Aug. 25. Pedraza would claim the WBO lightweight title with the win.
Beltran moved up in weight to face Okada, who won a close decision over Christian Soria in his last bout on Sept. 14.
Both fighters went on the attack from the opening bell, but it was the second round that produced the best action during the fight.
Beltran (36-8-1 1 NC, 22 knockouts) dropped Okada midway through the second round, connecting with a left hook to the head. Okada recovered to almost drop Beltran with a right cross later in the round.
Both fighters continued to score in ebb-and-flow exchanges during the middle rounds. Okada landed straight rights hands to the head, resulting in bruising around both eyes of Beltran.
The pace of the fight slowed during the second half of the fight. Okada pressed the action as Beltran's punch output dropped.
Beltran roared back during round nine, dropping Okada with a left-right combination to the head. Okada beat the count, but was dropped again near his corner, where his trainers threw in the towel. Referee Jack Weiss immediately stopped the fight at 2:09.
At the time of the stoppage, Beltran was up 78-74 on card, while the other two judges had the fight even, 76-76.
Beltran admitted he was stunned by the punch from Okada in round two.
Beltran would like to remain at 140 pounds, but is open to moving down to the lightweight division.
Okada, who resides in Tokyo, drops to 19-1 (13 KOs).


The Vancouver Giants are the top playoff seed out of the Western Conference, but their success is coming at a price according to the Delta lacrosse community.
In a lease agreement with the City of Delta, the Western Hockey League (WHL) team has access to the Ladner Leisure Centre until the end of the playoff season.
To accommodate senior and junior lacrosse teams, the Giants will be gearing up at the Ladner facility, and then practicing at the South Delta Recreation Centre where the minor lacrosse teams play.
But the move still affects all lacrosse levels because they trade off on floor time.
"Now minor lacrosse has nowhere to play their home games," Darcy Phillips, president of Delta Islanders Junior Lacrosse said.
Delta and the Vancouver Giants point to a Letter of Understanding that was signed by six lacrosse associations in 2005. Phillips was one of the signatories.
"We worked out an agreement that when we worked on playoff runs they would understand that. As long as they had a place to play, everything was fine and vice versa — and if they were going longer, we would move our hockey school and training camp," Giants owner Ron Toigo said.
Delta first struck up the lease agreement in 2005 when it wanted to build a weight room facility at the Leisure Centre.
"It required a capital of about $2 million, and rather than borrow money we put up $2 million and built the facility and part of it is our training centre," Toigo said.
But Phillips says the deal isn't working.
"Having private companies in a public facility, it's not working. These buildings are taxpayers'. We pay for the buildings and it's for the kids," Phillips said.
Delta has come up with other locations in neighbouring communities, but says it hasn't heard back from the lacrosse associations, adding this may not even be an issue depending on how the Giants do in the playoffs.


Joe Carroll, Hannibal Lecter and Norman Bates are about to get a new rival: The third season of AMC's The Killing is set to introduce a serial killer villain. Below is the show's official new marketing art that depicts one victim and 17 (and counting!) tally marks. But unlike some other more outlandish serial killer dramas, you can expect The Killing to have a more grounded and realistic take on the genre.
Though this is The Killing's third season, the new case provides a creative reset that will make it easier for new viewers to tune in. The first two heavily serialized seasons were focused on solving one murder (the killing of Rosie Larsen). At the start of season three, Sarah Linden (Mireille Enos) has quit Seattle homicide, but a case where somebody is preying on street kids will bring her back into the game. The case will be concluded at the end of this season (really … no really! They swear.).
Here's the new art for The Killing, which returns to AMC on June 2. (Or perhaps this season the show should be called The Killings?).

While most people think of accidents or office jobs that require sitting for long periods of time as the main reasons for back pain, it turns out obesity is also an important factor.
This may not be immediately obvious since so much of anti-obesity campaigning has focused on risks such as heart disease or diabetes. However, extra pounds put a significant stress on the skeleton - including the spinal column - and the muscles that support it. Therefore, it is not surprising that a new study found an association between obesity and impaired mobility.
Researchers from Penn State observed muscle development and function in three groups of rats: one obese, one normal-weight and a group that had a healthy weight but was given a vest to simulate obesity. Their results suggested that the animals who wore the vests adjusted to the additional weight by increasing the expression of a gene called troponin T, whose function is to promote proper muscle work. However, the rats that were raised to be obese did not have that genetic characteristic, making their muscles incapable of adjusting to extra weight. As a result, they showed reduced mobility and impaired muscle function.
"Our study is likely to stimulate a quest to determine the pathways and mechanisms that sense body weight and control muscle molecular composition, as this could provide new therapeutic approaches to alleviate obesity-associated problems," said Rudolf J. Schilder, postdoctoral fellow in physiological genomics at Penn State College of Medicine.
These complications may include back pain stemming from degenerative disc disease. Moreover, studies conducted over the last few years have shown that obesity may increase the risk of arthritis in both non weight-bearing joints and weight-bearing joints (such as those of the spine). In fact, according to the American Association of Neurological Surgeons, obese people are 4 to 5 times more likely to be diagnosed with this condition than their healthy-weight counterparts.

Q: ServiceStack AutoQuery MVC controller I'm experimenting with ServiceStack in MVC, using standard server side controllers creating view models. There are no jquery calls (or any direct calls) to any of the services registered at /api. Since SS lets us resolve services directly using:
using (var dr = HostContext.ResolveService<DataReportService>(base.HttpContext))

I haven't been calling the services using JsonServiceClient. Instead I've been resolving the services and calling their methods directly.
var dataReport = new DataReport
{
   IsArchived = false,
   ReportDate = DateTime.Now,
   ReportType = Model.ReportType
};
var drId = dr.Post(dataReport);

However, I have not been able to find a way to do this with the new AutoQuery feature. I know it creates a service automatically for any class that descends from QueryBase but I have had no luck resolving it. If I try to resolve the name used at run time then I won't compile (obviously). If I try something like this
using (var dr = HostContext.ResolveService<AutoQueryServiceBase>(base.HttpContext))

then it won't work either, because that is just a base class and not the actual registered instance. I know I could do this from JsonServiceClient but I'd really like to experiment with the direct call approach. Creating my own service that wraps any AutoQuery would work but seems like it defeats the purpose of the automatic creation. Still, I don't see any other way to proceed. Would love to hear any ideas.

A: Rather than using the ResolveService<T> method to get the service and call the executing method yourself, you can use HostContext.ServiceController.Execute method which allows you pass in the request DTO which will execute on the action method.
var dataReport = new DataReport
{
   IsArchived = false,
   ReportDate = DateTime.Now,
   ReportType = Model.ReportType
};
var drId = HostContext.ServiceController.Execute(dataReport);

I hope this helps.

Alyam Alyam (Oh the Days!). 1978. Written and directed by Ahmed El Maanouni

Alyam Alyam (Oh the Days!). 1978. Morocco. Written and directed by Ahmed El Maanouni. In Arabic, French; English subtitles. 90 min.
With the inhabitants of Toualàa (Oulad Ziane) in the region of Casablanca. Academy Award–nominated filmmaker Abderrahmane Sissako (Timbuktu, Bamako, Waiting for Happiness) introduces Alyam Alyam on November 11. Much honored but long impossible to see, this classic of Arab cinema has been restored under the supervision of its director, Ahmed El Maanouni, who observes, "I did not look for spectacular beauty, but made an effort to let the imagery of the rural world speak through abstraction and silence…. Almost 40 years later, when I watch Alyam Alyam again, I am still comfortable with my aesthetic choices and my intuitions, but I cannot avoid noticing how, from beginning to end—from the opening shots with the blood shed by the camels to the crowd of peasants appearing from behind the hills—it all seemed to presage the current tragedy experienced by the thousands whose broken dreams lie at the bottom of the Mediterranean…." We dedicate this screening of Alyam Alyam to our late colleague Jytte Jensen, who from 2010 to 2012 co-organized MoMA's revelatory survey of Arab experimental cinema and ardently championed the restoration of this film. Restored in 2015 by The Film Foundation's World Cinema Project in collaboration with Ahmed El Maanouni. Restoration carried out at Cineteca di Bologna/L'Immagine Ritrovata laboratory.

Dota Underlords leaves Early Access
By Chris Drougoutis
Editor's PicksMobileNews
Valve's auto-battler game will soon leave Steam's Early Access and bring an end to its Beta Season.
It was about time that Valve's take on an auto-battler game, Dota Underlords, to leave the Early Access program and have it officially released as a complete and out-of-beta testing game. In addition to the game's exit from Early Access, Valve is ending the Beta Season and will kick off Season 1 on Dota Underlords' launch date, February 25, 2020. Valve has also released an announcement that states which things will stay the same and which will change upon Season 1's arrival.
Existing players will have to undergo a soft rank reset, which means that players will be keeping their Major Ranks but their Minor Rank will be reset to 1. This change will be applied to all ranks except for Lords of White Spire, which entitled players will have to be reset to Big Boss III. Aside from ranks, when the game gets launched, players will obtain a new default board plus five more which are locked. Those who have reached Level 5 in Protopass and are a Beta Season player Level 5 or above, will retain access to two Beta boards, which are The Path to Sunbreeze and Streets of White Spire, and will also receive a Beta Season wanted poster.
Valve will be also implementing the ability to customize boards and wanted posters and a couple of ways for players to get more Board Props and custom poster artworks, by leveling up their Battlepass and unlocking achievements, respectively.
For more information regarding the game's launch and its update, you can read more about it by clicking here.

Girls soccer: Jonathan Law plays Thunderbirds to draw
Peter Vander Veer
Published 11:08 pm EDT, Thursday, September 20, 2018
Limited to just one shot over the final 40 minutes after getting seven in the first half, the Jonathan Law girls soccer team battled to a 0-0 tie with North Branford on Thursday night in Milford.
The Lady Lawmen finished with eight shots while giving up four, three in the second half, in bringing their record to 1-0-2.
It marked the third straight year that Law, of the Southern Connecticut Conference, had taken on the Thunderbirds who play in the Shoreline Conference.
North Branford's record stands at 2-0-2.
Jillian Hall made four saves for Law while her counterpart, Allie Augur also turned aside four.
"We worked on a lot of different things for this game," said Law coach J.D. Rhode. "Not too many of them came to fruition. Now we need to get ready to play a very good Mercy team on Monday (game time is set for 4:30 p.m. at Law)."
