Shudder Takes 'When Evil Lurks,' From 'Terrified' Director Demian Rugna (EXCLUSIVE)
By Emilio Mayorga
Shudder , AMC Networks' premium streaming service for horror, thriller and the supernatural, has taken international distribution rights to Demian Rugna 's "When Evil Lurks," the fifth feature of from the Argentine genre director behind 2018 Austin Fantastic Fest winning "Terrified."
Fernando Díaz's Machaco Films and Roxana Ramos's Aramos Cine in Argentina and Agustina Chiarino and Fernando Epstein at Uruguay's Mutante will co-produce the film. It will be the first production by new label La Puerta Roja , a joint venture partnership between Machaco and Aramos.
"We are delighted to continue our relationship with the team that brought 'Terrified' to Shudder audiences," said Emily Gotto, VP of acquisitions & co-productions at Shudder.
She added: "'When Evil Lurks' has an incredible script and one we are excited to be partners on from this early stage as a Shudder Original Production."
Revolving on timeless horror concepts and adding contemporary twists, "When Evil Lurks" unspools in a remote village where two brothers find a demon-infected man just about to give birth to evil itself. In a time when exorcism look to be of little use to ward off evil, after warning the neighbors in town, they decide to get rid of the man but merely succeed in helping him to deliver the inferno.
"'When Evil Lurks' will be a double challenge for me and the viewer –complex to stage and also very stark for anyone who watches it," Rugna told Variety. He continued: "I needed to leave the scheme of a contained production to break with everything. This movie will be my relief, a release of disturbing images that have been accumulating in my head over the years like a pressure cooker."
"When Evil Lurks" won the Runner Up Prize at the Sitges Pitchbox.
"We're trying to tell a macabre story with an extremely oppressive and realistic atmosphere, but with a frantic rhythm, without abandoning a strong narrative. A genuine universe that re-signifies the tales of evil and curses; a rural environment on a monotonous plain, interrupted by a series of images and extremely lurid sequences," Fernando Díaz at Machaco told Variety .
Shooting is scheduled to begin in March next year; the feature would be ready for delivery by November.
An English-language remake of Rugna's "Terrified" was announced in pre-pandemic times when it was set to be produced by Guillermo del Toro for Fox Searchlight Studios, with Sacha Gervasi announced as writing the script.
Rugna is repped by Robert Newman at WMA.

This is because of a lotto ticket (last chance), which presented him with $2.8 million. This man was at a strain station waiting when he made a decision to use his last remaining coins to buy a lotto ticket. This gamble altered his life for good when he matched each of the 7 numbers.
The fortune signified that he was in a position to purchase houses for his three kids as well as a vehicle for his family. However, this careful man will not spend all his money on shipping. According to him, he may have become rich, but remains the same person.
Lotteries are the new source of millionaires. This is because a large number of millionaires in the word owe their riches to a lottery win. Everyone who plays a lottery wants to win a prize but ultimately, each lottery winner wishes he or she could win the jackpot – a lottery's largest cash prize. Jackpots of different lotteries around the world have changed people's lives overnight. An example of such a lottery is the Mega Millions in the United States. The Mega Millions jackpot started off in 1996 as "The Big Game". Six years after the creation of the Big Game, the name was changed to "The Big Game Mega Millions" before it was changed to Mega Millions in 2002. When the Mega Millions lottery started in 1996 as "the Big Game", it was first drawn on September 6 of that same year with only six participating states – Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, Maryland, Virginia and Georgia. Eventually, the lottery became much popular and went on to become a multi-jurisdictional American lottery currently being played in 44 states, the U.S. Virigin Islands and the District of Columbia.
The standard Mega Millions jackpot which is advertised each draw stands at 15 million. This amount can increase exponentially depending on the pool of funds available for prices and the number of times the jackpot is rolled over. During a draw, when a jackpot is not won, it is rolled over to the next draw and continues until it is rolled over. The jackpot amount can either be paid in annuitized amounts over 30 years or as a cash lump sum which is subject to taxes. Most jackpot winners always opt for a cash payout. Below are the top seven largest Mega Millions jackpots ever.
On March 30th 2012, the Mega Millions lottery recorded its largest ever jackpot win. The amount which could be either a $640 million annuitized payment or a $462 million cash prize was initially and annuitized payment of $363 million after the draw on March 27 of that same year. It was later increased to $500 million and later to $540 million before the sale of tickets pushed the price to a whopping $656 million annuitized value or a cash option of $474 million. Before this drawing, the amount spent on Mega Millions previous jackpot win won on the 24th of January 2012 was about $1.5 billion. The $656 million jackpot had three confirmed tickets belonging to an anonymous winner in Ottawa, Kansas, the Three Amigos who hailed from Milford Mill, Maryland and Merle and Patricia Butler of Red bull, Illinois. Each of these three winners won the sum of $218.6 million.
Mega Millions' #3 largest jackpot was drawn on the 8th of July 2016 by a single ticket. This whopping sum of $536 million was won by a ticket from Indiana belonging to Warren D, LLC. The winner of this huge amount like all the others before him opted for the cash option.
On the 18th of March 2014, two tickets won the fourth largest Mega Millions jackpot, an amount of $414 million which was divided equally between the two winners - $207 million. One of the tickets belonged to Colbie and Seamus Trust of Merritt Island, Florida and was dated April 21, 2014. The other ticket was purchased in La Plata, Maryland by an Anonymous player.
Just of recent, the fifth largest jackpot recorded by Mega Millions was won. Belonging to a player who purchased his ticket in Palos Heights, Illinois, the jackpot amount stood at $393 million.
Before this win, the fifth largest Mega Millions jackpot was $390 million won on the 6th of March 2007 by two tickets purchased in Georgia and New Jersey. These tickets which were purchased by Elaine and Harold Messner of Woodbine, New Jersey and Eddie Nabors of Dalton, Georgia each had a prize of $195 million.
What a way to start a new year! On the 4th of January 2011, barely 4 days into the year, two Mega Million tickets won the 7th largest Mega Millions jackpot. The tickets which belonged to Holly Lahti who hailed from Rathdrum, Idaho and Jim and Carolyn McCullar of Ephrata, Washington were individually worth $190 million francs. This is what can be termed a "Year of Breakthrough".
These past lottery results are the winners of the seven largest Mega Millions lottery jackpots of all time. Jackpots provide a very fast way of turning into a millionaire and while there are some who regard lotteries as scams, the stories of these seven and many other millionaires around the world who benefited from the Mega Millions jackpot are quite true. So, purchase your Mega Millions ticket today, pick your six numbers and stand a chance to have your name written in the "Book of Millionaires". It doesn't cost much to play a standard Mega Millions game. The price per line is $1 and with the internet, tickets can be purchased within the comfort of your room via any trusted and authorized lottery website.
You are just a click away from becoming a millionaire. Join and participate in the Mega Millions lottery.
Jackpots are the pride of any lottery. This is because it is the largest cash price in any lottery game which could increase to ridiculous sums at times. An example of this is the jackpot of $1.6 Billion which was won by three Powerball players – $1.6 Billion. Imagine if the amount was won by a single person. The person could have conveniently left from someone no one knew about to a Billionaire. Well, instead, because the huge cash price was won by three different tickets, the mammoth sum was divided into three equal parts and the winners settled for becoming millionaires instead of billionaires. Even so, who wouldn't want to be a Millionaire overnight. I know I would. For those who dream high like I do, there is a chance about to present itself. It is the US Powerball jackpot. The US Powerball is a multi-state lottery which is offered in 44 American states including Puerto Rico, the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The Powerball is very popular especially as it sells across 47 territories and states in the US and has a minimum jackpot of 40 million which can increase depending on the sale of tickets and number of jackpot amounts rolled over.
It is no news that when the jackpot for a particular draw is not won, the amount of the jackpot is rolled over. The last Powerball jackpot was rolled over 19 times before it was won. This amount of $447.8 million which rose as a result of a late surge in ticket sales as people rushed to buy tickets in order to contest for the huge jackpot was won on the 10th of June 2017 by a single winner who hailed from California which is amongst the 47 states participating in the lottery. The lucky winner of this lottery was Jeff Lindsay.
This amount beat the $435.3 million won in February 22nd 2017 by a ticket bought in Indiana. The anonymous winner was described as a graduate from Purdue University who worked at a manufacturing plant. He chose the lump-sum cash option of $263.5 million as opposed to the $435.3 million annuitized payment plan when he finally came forth.
Now, there is an even greater jackpot on the line. Once again, no ticket matched the winning numbers which were drawn on Saturday. This means that the jackpot will once more be rolled over to the next draw which will take place on the 23rd of August 2017. At present, the amount stands at $700 million and if it is won in the next draw, it could eventually beat the second largest US lotto jackpot of all time which currently stands at $648 million and was won by two tickets bought from California and Georgia on the 17th of December 2013. The Powerball uses a 5/69 + 1/26 matrix to choose its winners. The winner of the jackpot is the player whose selected numbers match the numbers drawn by the lottery committee.
On Saturday, August 19th 2017, there was no winner for the jackpot as no player's selected number matched the drawn numbers. As a result, the jackpot was rolled over to the next date which is the 23rd of August 2017. With the number of people rushing to buy tickets, it is no surprise that the amount has risen to $700 million.
Now, if the jackpot is not won again, the amount could rise to $1 billion which will make it the second largest jackpot in US history. Of course, once that happens, people will start rushing to purchase tickets which could make the amount to rise even further. Now, it is true that the Powerball has always been a very difficult jackpot to win, but because of a rule change in October 2015 that tweaked the odds increasing the chances of winning the jackpot to stand at around 1 in 292,000,000. Really tough, rite? This means that the it is more likely for you to be struck down by lightening while drowning (1 in 183,000,000) or hit by an asteroid (1 in 700,000) than for you to actually win the jackpot. But when has an odd of 1 in 292 million ever stopped any one from trying to win $650 million.
Queues that stretch across the streets in front of lottery kiosks are all over the US as players struggle to get a chance at the mammoth $700 million which will be drawn during the Powerball draw this Thursday. If the price is not won in the next two draws, the amount could reach a $1 billion which will be drawn on August 27th, 2017. Now that will be the second largest draw of all time, after the record $2.3 billion Powerball draw in January 2016. Even though the Powerball lottery isn't open to citizens of Australia, those citizens who feel lucky enough can play through Lottosend where they can also buy lottery tickets for many other really big jackpot lottery games and not only the US Powerball, such as Euromillions or the popular Californian Superlotto Plus lottery that had a $65 million jackpot winner just this week.
Users of Lottoland do not actually enter the lottery but the online service allows them to pick the numbers they think will be drawn and bet on the outcome of the lottery in order to win thesaem amount won by the lottery winners of the US Powerball. That money is to be paid by Lottoland. Lottoland has reportedly already noticed a massive rush in traffic as players rush to purchase tickets to stand a chance to win the large jackpot amount since the weekend when the amount stood at $600 million.
Players who feel lucky can purchase their tickets from any authorized lottery in the 47 states including Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands and the District of Columbia. Tickets cost $2 but can increase depending on the number of add-on features played on a ticket. Tickets are usually sold up to 10:00 PM Eastern time on game night even though some territories cut off their lotteries earlier. The drawings for the upcoming draw is slated for the 23rd of August 2017. If a player succeeds in matching the five balls drawn together with the one Powerball won, he/she could be the winner more than $700 million. But if no one is able to match that amount, then we might be looking at a jackpot amount of over$1 billion on Saturday, the 26th of August 2017 which could keep increasing until someone wins the amount.


"In Mobile Age, Sound Quality Steps Back" (Business Day, May 10), about the degradation of sound quality in the MP3 era, touches on a central concern for musicians like me, who feel that a song's chief virtue should not be its ease of portability. There is an art to listening to music, and the move to jukebox-style delivery of songs in MP3 form has largely compromised that art for a generation of fans.
I remember listening to music on vinyl, poring over the sleeve, looking at the lyric sheet, even following the needle across the record.
There was something in that magical, romantic, tactile relationship with the album that has been lost by the reduction of music to content.
Music is not software; music is art. But I've been encouraged by the growing revolt against that iPod culture and playlist mentality.
Kids at shows come up to me to have me sign their vinyl.
They want to feel as if they're buying into something they can cherish and feel a part of. And you simply can't do that downloading a few files.

Q: How come there are muslims who wear tudung, and some don't?
A: Firstly, please forgive us. We are all not perfect. The muslims who wear tudung up to their knees and even cover their faces are not perfect. But the women who covers, they do so because they want to, because they believe in the Hereafter and Allah's Promise.
It's the effort. Some people don't want to use too much effort to please; please God.
Sunblock is good for our skin, yet many won't even bother using them. It prevents skin cancer, it's anti-ageing! Still.
For some who doesn't see the effect of it immediately, they wouldn't care.
Sunblock is like tudung la.
The SPFs is like the level of coverage. The higher the SPF means high level of coverage.
Other than sunblock, vegetables is also an example. So many people don't eat veges even though they're good for the health.
So, it's due to the effort. Some don't see the effect or the goodness of it immediately, so they procrastinate the effort. They don't see how tudung, or being covered, can benefit them in this lifetime and the next.
Q: Why does the Prophet (SAW) marry so many times?
A: Because he had to. Consider this: we women are married to one guy, and we have so many things about our husband that irks us. If we can list down the things about our husband that we're annoyed with, even hate, our list can reach up to 10 points, or maybe more!
Who is more closer to a man than his wife? Living under the same roof and all.
But the wives of the Prophet (SAW), can't even have a list. They could have shared his imperfections, flaws, complains about him, expose his weaknesses, but they just couldn't. They don't have anything to share! Besides his good character.
He is the perfect example for us ordinary people to look up to.
These aren't the 'answer scheme' for these type of questions. It's just something i thought can be used in case you're in this situation.
The people who asks this kind of questions probably won't understand islamic terms, like "Because Allah SWT orders us to", "to go to heaven", "it's in the Quran", etc.
They need something relatable so that it's easy to understand and imagine.
So yeah. Hope you'll find this useful!
Assalamualaikum.. thank u for a simple yet brilliant answer regarding wearing hijab. Masa saya pergi korea hari tu saya dapat soalan yg sama dari seorang peniaga kt korea. knapa ada wanita islam yg pakai tudung n knapa ada yg x pakai. sy jwb kat dia sama macam dalm family ada anak2 yg ikut ckp parents tp ada yg membantah.. masa tu really no idea nk bg perumpamaan mcm mana yg bagus ttg pakai hijab. now that u wrote about this so it really give me a great idea...thank u so much..
terima kasih Kak Mar di atas perkongsian.
Just want to share answer yang saya dapat masa attend konvensyen bidadari berkenaan kenapa Rasulullah (saw) kahwin ramai.
-isteri2 baginda (saw) ialah saksi bahawa baginda (saw) adalah yang sebaik-baik manusia terhadap keluarga dia.
dari sudut perundangan islam, kalau saksi lelaki, kena ada dua baru kita boleh accept apa dia cakap atau tuduhan etc.
satu lelaki = dua perempuan.
suka dengan analogi akak...typical rare but deep ..
Well said maria.. such a good explaination about islam..
Thank you akak. Sebelum2 ni, ad je nomMuslim tanya Aqis, "kenapa kena pakai tudung dan kenapa ada yang tak pakai?"
Honestly, Aqis taktau nak kasi jwpan yg benr2 telus kat dorg. Now, here some good point yang akk terangkan secara ringkas tapi Aqis faham.

Scientists gain insights into traffic cop function of gene expression protein
Image source: https://www.cell.com/cell-reports/fulltext/S2211-1247(18)31880-1?_returnURL=https%3A%2F%2Flinkinghub.elsevier.com%2Fretrieve%2Fpii%2FS2211124718318801%3Fshowall%3Dtrue
Scientists at the UNC School of Medicine have discovered a crucial quality-control mechanism inside cells that, when it fails, might contribute to major diseases including cancers.
The discovery, published in Cell Reports, concerns the process of gene transcription or gene expression - the copying of a gene's DNA into RNA - the essential first step in turning genetic information into functional molecules such as proteins. The UNC-Chapel Hill scientists found that an enzyme called casein kinase II adds small chemical modifications or "molecular tags" onto Spt6, a key protein in the transcription process that enables Spt6 to wind back up the DNA after transcription. This rewinding prevents inappropriate transcription from occurring in the wrong direction along the gene. Such a "wrong way" situation can lead to serious health conditions.
"We made this finding in yeast cells, but all the players are found in human cells, too, and many of them are linked to human disease," said senior author Brian Strahl, PhD, professor, vice chair, and Oliver Smithies Investigator in the department of biochemistry and biophysics and member of the UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center.
How gene transcription works so efficiently and accurately most of the time is one of the great mysteries of biology, in large part because of DNA's almost unbelievably tight packaging. The DNA in a single human cell would be about six feet long if unraveled, but somehow it manages to fit within the cell nucleus.
"One of the big questions in our field," Strahl said, "is how cells manage to wind up so much DNA but keep it carefully organized and indexed so DNA can be accessed at the right place and time?"
Scientists know part of the answer already. The DNA in our cells is wound onto millions of spool-like structures made of proteins called histones. Each histone spool and its wrapped DNA is referred to as a nucleosome. When a cell needs to transcribe a stretch of DNA, the histones and their helper proteins called "histone chaperones" loosen up the nucleosome so that the molecular machinery of transcription can access the hidden DNA. When the process of transcription is complete, the histone chaperones then usually put nucleosomes back together and keep DNA firmly wrapped. How this crucial and complex job is performed so well across the genome is not fully known.
In their new study, Strahl and his team found an important piece of this puzzle: a new function of an enzyme that makes a histone chaperone function properly, which in turn helps prevent the serious errors in DNA-wrapping that lead to disrupted gene transcription. Both the enzyme casein kinase II and the histone chaperone Spt6 were already known to be involved in gene transcription, though their precise roles were unclear.
The UNC scientists found that casein kinase II activates Spt6 in a way that allows the chaperone protein to work with histones to properly batten down DNA. The enzyme performs this activation by chemically attaching phosphorylation groups (i.e., molecular tags) onto Spt6. "Phosphorylation" is a common method by which cells switch a protein's function from "on" to "off" or the other way around.
To study the importance of the phosphorylation on Spt6, the UNC scientists reengineered Spt6 slightly so that it could no longer be modified by the kinase, and found that Spt6 wasn't performing its job well in putting nucleosomes back together. Curiously, this effect was more pronounced on the nucleosomes at the starting point of gene transcription, which led to a peculiar form of abnormal transcription.
"We observed an increase in transcripts that run from the start of the gene backwards through the gene's regulatory or so called "promoter" region - where transcription begins - not downstream as normal," said study first author Raghuvar Dronamraju, PhD, a research assistant professor in the Strahl laboratory.
The scientists concluded that casein kinase II's crucial phosphorylation of Spt6 allows it to place histones back at the beginning of genes in order to help it enforce normal gene transcription in the right direction.
"It's like a traffic cop at an intersection, allowing cars to travel in one direction but not another," Strahl said.
This basic science discovery could lead to medically important insights because loss of the ability to control transcription can be harmful to cells, for example by allowing stretches of DNA that don't code for genes to be expressed. This can interfere with normal transcription. It can also lead to neighboring genes being improperly activated if nucleosomes are not re-inserted at their promoters to block new transcription after a gene is supposed to be shut down.
Such transcriptional mis-regulation can result in serious diseases such as cancer (for example, if a tumor suppressor gene is affected). In fact, any derangement of the normal dynamics of DNA packaging is potentially a cause of major illness. Strahl said many of the proteins involved in packaging and unpackaging our DNA have been found at abnormal levels or are mutated in many cancers, and some of these proteins are being eyed as potential cancer drug targets.
In follow-up experiments, Strahl, Dronamraju, and colleagues hope to determine how exactly Spt6 exerts its DNA-organizing effect particularly at the upstream ends of genes and how it interacts with other histone chaperone proteins.

'LOST ALL RESPECT'
Kate Middleton's uncle tells Meghan Markle and Prince Harry to 'shut the F up' & brands them 'muppets craving attention'
Brittany Vonow
Updated: 10:12, 3 Oct 2020
KATE Middleton's uncle has blasted Prince Harry and Meghan Markle as "muppets" - telling them to "shut the F up".
Gary Goldsmith unleashed a scathing online message to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex - criticising them for "craving attention".

Speculation of a rift between the couples has continued to growCredit: PA:Press Association
In the now-deleted LinkedIn post, the brother of Carole Middleton blasted: "With so much stuff going on in the world, still these two muppets are craving attention.
"Please shut the F up and bring up their child and stop talking, let alone demanding.
"Harry you have lost our love and respect.
"Meghan you are a wrong'n.
"Now hush please we are kinda busy saving lives and an economy."
The 55-year-old spoke out after Harry and Meghan called for an end to structural racism in the UK in a Zoom interview from their new £11million home in Santa Barbara, California.
Harry, who is sixth-in-line to the throne, said he had an "awakening", adding: "I wasn't aware of so many of the issues and so many of the problems within the UK and also globally as well. I thought I did but I didn't."
Meghan, 39, and Harry, 36, have had a tumultuous few years - getting married in Windsor before welcoming baby Archie last year.
The couple then quit the Royal Family with a dramatic statement and moved to the US with Meghan now locked in a privacy battle with the publishers of the Mail on Sunday over the publication of a letter she sent to her estranged father Thomas Markle.
The former actress was this week accused of cooperating with the authors of Finding Freedom, a bombshell biography that followed so-called Megxit.
'THEY DON'T GIVE A DAMN'
And Mr Goldsmith, who is currently self-isolating after a Ibiza holiday, later told the Daily Mail that he stood by everything he wrote.
He added: "I used to have a lot of respect for Harry and his army career but this new Harry is someone I don't recognise.
"I find it totally frustrating when we are trying to save lives and look after UK PLC, to be lectured daily on any topic they deem to be important."
He claimed they had "abdicated" the UK for the US - adding they didn't "give a damn" about the Royal Family.
Mr Goldsmith, who attended Prince William and Kate Middleton's wedding, added: "We've all had enough of them lecturing us. You can't sell your soul to Netflix for a reported £150 million and then dictate to Mother England."

It comes after a new book, Battle of Brothers, has claimed the relationship between Prince Harry and Prince William was "utterly broken".
Author Robert Lacey believes their unique bond has been shattered by how the Sussexes went about Megxit.
The author, who wrote a biography of the Queen in the 1970s titled Majesty, believes there is time to heal the rift but that the Palace "is not working in that direction".

President Trump has a long and complicated history with the press. From calling mainstream media outlets "fake news" to encouraging attacks on journalists, it is no surprise the White House press briefings have gotten so messy. Critics argue the briefings, now led by Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, are nothing more than propaganda and have become completely pointless. But others believe press briefings are crucial to holding public officials accountable. What do you think?
The very first White House press briefing with Sean Spicer began with a lie: "This was the largest audience to ever witness an inauguration, period." And it would set the tone for what would develop into an increasingly turbulent relationship between the Trump administration and the press, riddled with half-truths and outright falsehoods.
When it was first announced that Sarah Huckabee Sanders would be taking over for the often-ruffled Spicer, many in the press welcomed Sanders as a refreshing and articulate alternative. But like Spicer, Sanders lies with impunity--she's just proven to be better at hiding it.
David Horsey argues in The Los Angeles Times that Sanders is perfectly suited for the role, a dishonest press secretary to a dishonest president.
While it is the job of White House press secretaries to represent the interests of the administration they serve, Horsey claims Sanders has taken "spin" to another level.
Earlier this year, many called on the press to boycott the briefing altogether when then-press secretary Spicer refused to hold on-camera briefings, even hiding from reporters in the bushes at one point. Journalists demanded briefings to be held on camera for the sake of "transparency" and "commitment to democratic ideals."
For decades, Republican and Democratic White Houses have customarily held on-camera briefings in the afternoon, except when the president is traveling or due to special circumstances.
CNN chief White House correspondent Jim Acosta blasted Monday's no-camera restrictions, suggesting journalists "should walk out" in protest.
Despite the outrage, there never was a formal boycott of the press briefing. Many felt it was more important to get questions answered on the record, even if they had to be asked off-camera.
Journalists are unlikely to leave a daily briefing if a White House official is still answering questions on the record, regardless of whether they can be recorded for broadcast. And reporters are reluctant to make themselves the story, especially at a moment when the Trump White House -- and Republicans across the country -- seems determined to frame the news media as "the opposition."
White House briefings and press conferences provide substantive and symbolic opportunities for journalists to pose questions to officials at the highest levels of the U.S. government. That exercise, conducted in full view of our republic's citizens, is clearly in line with the spirit of the First Amendment. Doing away with briefings would reduce accountability, transparency, and the opportunity for Americans to see that, in the U.S. system, no political figure is above being questioned. The White House Correspondents' Association would object to any move that would threaten those constitutionally-protected principles.
But it isn't just Trump's defenders who find the daily press briefings pointless. In the New Republic, former Obama aide Reid Cherlin argues what was once an informal conversation between White House officials and members of the press, has now devolved into a shouting match between a gaggle of reporters and some poor spokesperson.
Once upon a time, the daily briefing was just the press secretary walking out into what was then called the Press Lobby [...] making a few announcements about what the president was up to and taking a handful of questions. The idea, veterans say, was to provide a regular forum for the White House and the press to talk to each other, not to provide actual news content.
While Trump's attacks on the press possess a particularly authoritarian flare, many still believe the political theatre of press briefings remain the same.
The daily briefing is seen as one of the last toeholds from which the press corps can try to keep the White House accountable, so eliminating it would be seen as Nixonian, even Stalinist, depending on one's bogeyman of choice. But reporters who've actually endured the sessions day in and day out, if not quite ready to endorse abolition, concede that the institution has wildly outlived its utility.
Many still feel the White House press briefings are a cornerstone of our democracy, and despite their sometimes combative nature, any erosion of the daily briefing is a mistake.
The White House's gradual elimination of the on-camera briefings is unprecedented and alarming. Under less incendiary presidents, these briefings were often dull affairs for people with lives outside the Beltway bubble. But they were largely seen as an unbreakable component of the press's ability to hold White House officials accountable, even when press secretaries, of both parties, ducked tough questions and offered pabulum talking points. There was a record of the questions asked -- and the refusal to answer them.
These briefings are more essential than ever because of President Trump's hostility to the press and basic transparency.
Sarah Posner argues in The Washington Post that to eliminate the White House press briefing would be to give the Trump administration exactly what they want: "neutralize the news media" or as Steve Bannon has said "the opposition party," and further characterize the mainstream media as "fake news."


So far temperatures are averaging above normal for the month of May. Over the first ten days average daily temperature is 1 to 3 degrees F above normal in the north, and 5 to 8 degrees F above normal in southern counties. On May 7th it was as warm as 89 degrees F at Crookston, Wheaton, and Granite Falls. Except for the far north, few places have reported a frost in May. For the Twin Cities it is the warmest first ten days of May (ave temp about 64°F) since the year 2000. As a result of the warmth, more lakes are expected to lose ice before the Fishing Opener on Saturday, but some in the far north will obviously still have ice.
Thunderstorms have brought heavy rains to southern parts of the state. Already places like Caledonia, Houston, Harmony, and Lanesboro have seen over 4 inches for the month. At least 16 daily rainfall records have been tied or broken within the Minnesota climate network, including 2.23" at Harmony on the 2nd, 1.94" at Caledonia on the 4th, and 1.43" at Grand Meadow on the 4th.
Because of wet soils, only recently have farmers been making progress on planting corn around the state, mostly in western and central counties. Many southern counties remain too wet. For the week ending on May 6th only 9 percent of the corn was planted. Hopefully a mostly dry next week will allow for a great deal of corn planting.
NOAA features an article by Rebecca Lindsey this week about the signature warmth of the year 2016 in the Arctic region, where some daily temperature departures were 30 to 40 degrees F warmer than normal. She documents how this unprecedented warmth is definitely a signature of climate change, and describes the evidence.
Earlier this week the BBC reported the warmest early May Bank Holiday in the modern record for the United Kingdom, with temperatures soaring into the 80s F, and many citizens flocking to the beaches. Temperatures were averaging a good 15-20 degrees F warmer than normal over the first weekend of the month.
The Yale Climate Connections this week features an interview by Amy Brady with Richard Powers, author of "The Overstory." He talks about the legacy of the battle to preserve the majestic northwest woods and forests and how people from different walks of life commonly value such features.
My goodness ( I usually use stronger language, but in case this gets on the radio) here near Caledonia we have already received nearly 5 inches of rain this month, keeping me out of my fields. I just hope to get planted by Memorial Day. Can you tell me the record amount of rainfall for the month of May here?
The record May rainfall at Caledonia (Houston County) is 11.63 inches in 2004. It rained on 21 days that month. That broke an old record of 11.13 inches of rain during May of 1902. BTW in 2013 the month of May brought 14.64 inches of rain to Grand Meadow (Mower County) just a little west of you. This is a state record.
The average MSP high temperature for this date is 68 degrees F (plus or minus 11 degrees F standard deviation), while the average low is 47 degrees F (plus or minus 8 degrees F standard deviation).
MSP Local Records for May 11th: MSP weather records for this date include: highest daily maximum temperature of 88 degrees F in 1900; lowest daily maximum temperature of 40 degrees F in 1914 and 1966; lowest daily minimum temperature of 27 F in 1946; highest daily minimum temperature of 64 F in 1881, 1915 and 1922; record precipitation of 1.55 inches in 1935 (2.10 inches in the Pioneer records of 1882); and 2.8 inches of snowfall was recorded on this date in 1946.
Average dew point for May 11th is 40 degrees F, with a maximum of 66 degrees F in 1922 and a minimum of 14 degrees F in 1946.
The state record high temperature for this date is 104 degrees F at Blue Earth (Faribault County) in 2011. The state record low temperature for this date is 11 degrees F at Fosston (Polk County) in 1946; state record precipitation for this date is 4.60 inches at Crookston (Polk County) in 1922; and state record snowfall for this date is 3.0 inches at Isle (Mille Lacs County County) in 1966 and at Tower (St Louis County) in 2008.
The coldest May 11th in state history was in 1946 when 30 climate stations reported a morning low temperature in the teens. The high temperature at Warroad never rose above 32 degrees F that day.
A rare May snow storm slowed the pace of corn planting on May 11, 1966. Many parts of southern and central Minnesota reported 1 to 3 inches of snow. Fortunately it was very short-lived, and corn planting resumed in two days.
On a statewide basis, May 11, 1987 was the warmest in state history with over 30 climate stations reporting afternoon highs of 90 degrees F or higher. Afternoon relative humidity values ranged from the teens into the 20s F making for a high risk fire danger as well.
Generally cloudy and cooler than normal with a chance for showers in the south on Saturday. Partly cloudy and warmer on Sunday, with a return of above normal temperatures. Sunny and warmer yet on Monday, then a chance for showers later on Tuesday. Then generally dry much of the rest of next week.

2 Malaysian siblings mysteriously go missing from kindergarten
By Bhaswati Guha Majumder
March 10, 2018 16:25 +08
Malaysian missing children (Representational picture) Reuter
Two Malaysian siblings were believed to be kidnapped by three individuals on Thursday, March 8 from a kindergarten, located in Section 16, Petaling Jaya.
Free Malaysia Today, a local media outlet quoted one of the relatives of the children as saying that when their aunt went to pick up six-year-old Raheel Khan and his younger sister Aleya Reyhana, 4, from kindergarten, she found that both of them are missing.
Reports said that those children were abducted by a woman, who claimed that she was going to take them for a medical check-up at 9 am.
Mohd Zani Che Din, Petaling Jaya district police chief said that police have already started their investigation, following the missing report of the minors. The police have also urged the local residents to provide information about the missing children if they have any.
Earlier in February, four Malaysian children, aged between 10 and 14, were reported missing after they headed towards a forest in Simunjan District.
Sarawak Fire and Rescue Department assistant director Tiong Ling Hii said that those missing children, including two boys and two girls, ran into the forest area after being scolded by the family for taking bath in a river.
Royal Malaysian Police (RMP) reports on missing children in the country have shown that more than half of the missing complaints involved teenagers, who wanted to test the freedom outside their houses.
Malaysia's Women, Family and Community Ministry figures show that between January 2017 and June 2017, a total of 723 cases of missing children, aged 13 to 15, were reported in 181 days. The cases involved 447 female and 276 male victims. The report also showed that an average of four children go missing every day in the south-east Asian country, reported by Star Online.

Q: how to find all the elements with any of these attributes? have a look at these tags and their attributes:
link

I want to find all the elements with the tag "tr" and attributes like any of the following using Beautifulsoup in python.
here is what I am doing
soup.findAll("tr",attrs={re.compile("(data\-is\-centralized|data\-has\-trading-incentive)"):re.compile("(true|false)")})

but this doesn't return any value. What am I doing wrong? Is there a better way to do this?

A: You can use css OR syntax to match on either attribute
soup.select('[data-has-trading-incentive], [data-is-centralized]')

A: find_all accepts functions as well wherein the function takes each element as its attribute by default.
Try this:
def findFilter(element):
    if element.name == "tr":
        if any(attr in list(element.attrs.values()) for attr in ['data-has-trading-incentive','data-is-centralized']):
            return True
    return False

filteredElements = soup.find_all(findFilter)

Whether it's to make the surroundings more welcoming or to extend them, good lighting of the apartment is essential to enhance the decor and leave the residence with an elegant look. The correct distribution of light, as well as the different lamp positions, is an essential element to highlight specific places of the property and to create various décor styles.
In this way, lighting fulfills not only its basic function, but also to value objects, colors, architectural details and transform chandeliers and lamps into items of greater decorative relevance.
Using spots on the ceiling, next to bed headboards and even on shelves is a great option to highlight certain elements. For example, if you want to highlight the beauty of a stamped or colored wall, apply points of light directed at it. The same goes for tables, steps and curtains.
This type of recessed lighting is recommended for living and dining rooms and bedrooms . In addition, it is interesting to use yellowish colored lamps to create the effect of light and shade. Thus, you give a cozy and elegant air to the environment.
The LED bulbs are more economical, durable and light up well, giving the spaces look sophisticated. You can choose from white, yellow and ribbon templates to compose different arrangements in the apartment.
These lamps are widely used in bathrooms, kitchens and around mirrors because they allow a clean look and better visibility. However, their application applies to all rooms.
Each space in the residence has a function. The room, for example, is a place to rest, and the home office is for concentration and accomplishment of tasks. Therefore, the lighting temperatures of the apartment can alternate, taking into account the varied attributions of each environment.
So, choose 6000K cold white lamps for rooms in the house that need to look clean (bathrooms, home office, kitchen), and white hot 3000K for relaxation places (rooms and bedrooms). You can also mix these two color temperatures to create different arrangements.
Regardless of the choice of lighting style (clean, light and shade, direct, etc.), it is very important that the distribution is done correctly. If you look at this detail, you avoid compositional mistakes and guarantee an elegant look to the living environment.
To do this, invest in built-in points of light, quality bulbs, suitable colors and LED tapes, which will help you achieve this effect.
Now that you have decided on the lamp temperatures, the models and the positioning, it is necessary to acquire functional and corresponding luminaires. Then, analyze which style fits most with the rest of the decorative items and invest in a variety of designs (pendants, chandeliers, ceiling lamps and washers, for example).
Combining the beauty of the lamps with the well-planned light arrangement, the decoration is highlighted.In this way, it is possible to combine the lighting of the apartment with the various elements of each room and apply stylish effects.

Parm-Style Chicken Burger – Turn the classic Chicken Parmesan into a delicious chicken burger!
I am excited to be celebrating #BurgerMonth, hosted by Girl Carnivore, with lots of amazing bloggers again this year. I shared 2 burgers last year as part of burger month; the Chicken Taco Burger and the Jalapeno Turkey Burger. I am trying to share lots of the burgers on my Facebook page, so make sure you are following along and checking them out! Plus there is kind of an awesome giveaway in store for you at the bottom of this post.
Recently my 10 year old was going through my Cooking Light magazine and picking out recipes he wanted to try. We already made the Shrimp Summer Rolls, and this was one of the others he picked out. I was happy to see he picked these parm style chicken burgers, because I had already earmarked them as well. Chicken Parmesan is one of my favorite Italian dishes. So if I could enjoy something that tastes like it at home, that isn't crazy high in calories, I am all over it! We make a lot of chicken burgers around here, but I have to say these were some of the best ever!
Chicken burgers can be a little on the dry side sometimes. There just isn't a lot of fat in ground chicken. So I grated in the onion for moisture, plus you put actual marinara sauce in the burger! Super easy to throw together last minute, and they cook in under 15 minutes. Then you just have to pop them under the broiler to get the cheese all bubbly and melty! It wouldn't be chicken Parmesan if you didn't have golden, melted cheese on top! Parm style chicken burgers have all the flavor you love from Chicken Parmesan, but in the form of a burger!
Parm-Style Chicken Burger - Turn the classic Chicken Parmesan into a delicious chicken burger!
In a bowl mix together grated onion, oregano, garlic, chicken, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheeese, 1/2 cup marinara sauce, salt and pepper. Mix well. The mixture will be fairly loose and wet. Form into 4 patties.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan to medium high heat. Spray with non-stock spray. Add chicken burgers to the pan. Cook for 6-7 minutes per side, until cooked through.
Arrange the bottom halves of the buns on a baking sheet. Place 1 chicken burger onto each patty. Top with 1 Tbls of the remaining marinara sauce, and sprinkle evenly with cheese. Place under broiler for 2 minutes, or until cheese is melted.
Top with fresh basil and top bun to serve.
OOOO yay!!! I am so excited to see this! Mine is coming at the end of the week!
I made these last night. Very, very good. The only thing I changed was leaving out the crushed red pepper. Both my husband and I loved them!


Marc Evan Aupiais: How should attorneys dress for their Magistrate's Court appearances?
How should attorneys dress for their Magistrate's Court appearances?
How should attorneys dress for appearances in the Magistrate's Court?
Attorneys must wear their robe when appearing to represent others in Magistrate's court. I always wear a black or navy suit below it (with two black or navy buttons capable of closing the suit jacket, and lapels, and no waistcoat), mostly a light coloured long sleeved shirt, often white, and no crazy ties or crazy socks. I wear a formal tie, often blue or black. Some courts even take offence to a red tie. Formal and respectful tends to be the idea.
As it is not their court, which High Court is, advocates will often not robe in Magistrate's Court. Attorneys, however, should. The only reason not to robe in Magistrate's Court is if counsel or another attorney is appearing for your client on your instructions, or if you are not appearing on behalf of anyone.
For what to wear below their robe, attorneys can gain a lot from staying close to the rules governing counsel and attorneys with right of appearance in the High Court, as such will dress in their High Court appearances.
An example of this can be found in the prescriptions for dress by counsel in the Gauteng Local Division of the High Court. The dress code for junior counsel is in particular a good guide.
However, for Magistrate's Court, attorneys should rather wear a tie, and not a jabot or bib.
Below, a quote of the said rules, from the said Gauteng Local Division of the High Court's Practice Manual.
Counsel is required to be properly dressed. If not properly dressed they run the risk of not being "seen" by the presiding judge.
2.1 A black stuff gown.
2.2 A plain black long sleeved jacket (and not a waistcoat) which has both a collar and lapels. The jacket must have, for closing, one or two buttons at the waist. The buttons must be black.
2.3 A white shirt or blouse closed at the neck.
2.4 A white lace jabot or white bands.
2.5 Dark pants or skirt.
2.6 Black or dark closed shoes.
3.1 A Senior Counsel's (silk) gown.
3.2 A Senior Counsel's (silk) waistcoat.
3.3 A white shirt or blouse closed at the neck.
3.4 A white lace jabot or white bands.
3.5 Dark pants or skirt.
3.6 Black or dark closed shoes.
that counsel should not robe in court.
Conspicuous ornaments or jewellery should not be worn.
7.4 Black or dark closed shoes.

How much raw material should you purchase given the uncertainty in demand and procurement cost? Researchers from Singapore Management University are able to distil your business environment into an analytical model to answer these questions.
If you are a farmer contemplating how much land to allocate between two crops — say, soybean and corn — what factors will you consider?
An important point to think about will be the revenue each type of grain can earn. You will plant more soybean if it earns you more money than corn. However, by the time the two crops are ready for harvest, their revenues may have swapped positions – a phenomenon that is commonly observed in practice owing to the commodity nature of these crops.
And what if you grew soybean in your land the last season? There are well-known benefits of growing a different crop in the same land, such as crop rotations, which improve the soil structure and break the pests' reproductive cycles. This will make it less appealing to allocate more land for growing soybean this season.
But, being in Singapore, why did Professor Boyabatli choose to study the agri-business, when this country is highly urbanised? "Singapore is a very big agriculture trading hub," he discloses. "There is not much agriculture going on in Singapore, but there is a lot of agricultural trading, plus a lot of agriculture in Southeast Asia." Agricultural activities, such as the palm industry within and around Singapore, have an influence on Professor Boyabatli's research. The earlier case on crop allocation was an illustration from his paper "Crop Planning in Sustainable Agriculture: Dynamic Farmland Allocation Corn or Soybean? Dynamic Farmland Allocation in the Presence of Crop Rotation Benefits". Professor Boyabatli has also applied his analytical models to optimise the procurement process for processors (i.e., meatpackers) in the beef industry, as in the case of Integrating Long-Term and Short-Term Contracting in Beef Supply Chains.
Professor Boyabatli's main task starts with understanding the business processes, deciding on the important variables, and then developing a quantitative model that considers all these facets to answer particular questions. "By using applied mathematics and probabilistic analysis, my goal is to come up with some managerial insights," he explains.
So what factors need to be considered when setting up an analytical model?
Once Professor Boyabatli comes up with an analytical model, he calibrates it using real-world data to represent a typical decision-maker in practice. Quoting the example on crop allocation, he says, "By keying in crop prices, crop yields, rotation benefits for a typical farmer in, say, Iowa, my model gives a recipe. That recipe, however, may not be suitable for a farmer in Minnesota because the environment is different." To make sure that his findings are robust, Professor Boyabatli solves his models without making any assumptions on parameters. Calibrating these models using real-world data enables him to generate additional managerial insights.
Model calibration is not as easy as it sounds. "It is made difficult because you need to find the data," says Professor Boyabatli. He considers himself fortunate that such data for agricultural commodities are easily available in Singapore. However, such data are regarded as trade secrets in numerous other sectors, thus making calibration difficult, if not impossible.
Another difficulty is the extra analyses required for generating insights after calibration. "In many fields, this is called numerical analyses," he discloses. "So when you build the analytical model, you need to conduct simulations to explain them." These analyses require complex tools to fit the model components to data and to simulate the calibrated model.
Professor Boyabatli, who hails from Turkey, started his academic career studying Industrial Engineering. "I did my undergraduate and Masters in Industrial Engineering in Bilkent University," he reveals. "Bilkent is one of the best universities in Turkey, with a very strong engineering school. The education is very academic, and a lot of graduates directly go to the top PhD programmes in the US and Europe." He then enrolled in INSEAD, in France, one of the top business schools in the world, to take a PhD degree in Technology & Operations Management. His research interests are in the area of integrated risk management in supply chains. Besides agri-business, he also studies technology and capacity management under financing frictions in capital-intensive industries (such as automotive); and operational and financial hedging in global supply chains.
Professor Boyabatli is also the co-editor of "Handbook of Integrated Risk Management in Global Supply Chains".

Girls' School Stories, 1749-1929
By Kristine Moruzi (Contributor), Michelle J. Smith (Contributor)

As part of the ongoing project of retrieving women writers from the margins of literary and cultural history, scholars of literature, history, and gender studies are increasingly exploring and interrogating girls' print culture. School stories, in particular, are generating substantial scholarly interest because of their centrality to the history of girls' reading, their engagement with cultural ideas about the education and socialization of girls, and their enduring popularity with book collectors. However, while serious scholars have begun to document the vast corpus of English-language girls' school stories, few scholarly editions or facsimile editions of these novels and short stories are readily available. Girls' School Stories in English, 1749-1929, a new title from Routledge and Edition Synapse's History of Feminism series, provides a vital resource to cater to this growing critical interest. This unique collection answers the important need to balance the historical record of canonical literature for young people in the nineteenth century and early twentieth century with popular fictions that had wide, devoted, and-following the emergence of school-series fiction-ongoing readerships. Moreover, existing scholarship has not yet explicated the connections between the British genre and its adaptation to colonial and American readerships, and one of the functions of this collection is to document the evolution of the girls' school-story genre in Britain to pinpoint the development and contestation of its signature tropes, and to trace the refinement and reproduction of these elements in Canadian, Australian, and American print cultures. The six volumes in the collection cover the years 1749 to 1929, a temporal span designed to demonstrate the origins of the genre and its development throughout the Victorian and Edwardian eras. It concludes with works from the 1920s that coincide with a peak in the genre's popularity. And the thematic, rather than chronological, organization of the set allows users easily to compare and contrast (across time and place) school-story conventions and attitudes with issues such as women's higher education. Volume I (`Moral Education') of the set draws attention to some of the earliest school stories published for girls in the eighteenth century, many of which situated moral improvement and rationality as the primary purpose of girls' education. Early stories, such as Dorothy Kilner's Anecdotes of a Boarding School; or, An Antidote to the Vices of those Establishments (1790), which is reproduced in full, were especially influenced by religious imperatives. While the overtly religious nature of these texts declined throughout the nineteenth century, the girls' school story continued to present a strong moral code based on honour and selflessness, which is shown in an excerpt from Canadian Ethel Hume Bennett's novel, Judy of York Hill (1922). The girls' school story is typically one of transformation, in which the protagonist learns to conform to the rules and codes of school life. Volume II (`The New Girl'), therefore, focuses on the generic conventions associated with a new student arriving at school, in which the girl does not initially understand or comply with the expectations of teachers and peers. While it presents examples that adhere to the model of successful transformation, this volume also reproduces some striking instances where this trope is subverted. It includes the full text of noted school-story author L. T. Meade's Wild Kitty (1897), which depicts a `wild Irish girl' protagonist who is unable to be tamed by the English school environment, as well as a story from the Australasian Girls' Annual, `Vic and the Refugee' (1916), in which the new girl is revealed to be a spy. Volume III (`Unruly Femininity') concentrates on girls who are disobedient, impulsive, or who are fun-loving `madcaps'. It contains the full texts of Mary Hughes' The Rebellious Schoolgirl (1821), which is distinctive as one of the first sympathetic portrayals of a girl who has yet to understand and abide by the rules of the school, and Evelyn Sharp's The Making of a Schoolgirl (1897), which complicates some of the school-story tropes. Nonetheless, many of these school stories are heavily invested in defining a feminine ideal, as we see in a later short story, `Teddy Versus Theodora' (1910). In addition to defining a feminine ideal, many schoolgirl heroines take their family and school responsibilities seriously, as markers of their desire to be good and to succeed academically. Volume IV (`Duty and Responsibility') demonstrates the ways in which girl heroines can have different expectations and attitudes towards their families, their studies, and their friends. The novel that is reproduced in full in this volume, Elsie Jeanette Oxenham's The Abbey Girls (1920), is the foundational text produced by one of the most popular writers of girls' school stories and was the basis for dozens of further books. It emphasizes the rewards that issue from sacrifice, with the heroine passing up a scholarship to allow her cousin to attend school, only to receive an inheritance at the novel's closure that allows her also to enrol at the school. A girl's responsibility to her country is particularly evident in an excerpt from Angela Brazil's The Patriotic Schoolgirl (1918), in which the students are encouraged to consider how they can help national war efforts. The formation of friendships and the pleasures of school life, such as sports and games, become hallmarks of the genre from the late nineteenth century. Volume V (`Friendships and Fun') exemplifies the enjoyable aspects of schoolgirl life that some protagonists metafictively describe reading about in school stories, but also provides examples of the way that relationships among girls can be infused with jealousy or hostility, such as in the excerpt from the 1874 Little Pansy: A Story of the School Life of a Minister's Orphan Daughter. Louise Mack's Teens: A Story of Australian Schoolgirls (1897), which is reproduced in full, is regarded as the first Australian school novel and focuses on the development, and testing, of a strong friendship between high-school girls Lennie and Mabel. The collection's final volume ( `Higher Education and Women's Rights') demonstrates how the genre presented debates about women's suffrage and higher education to a girl readership. The college story replicated many school-story conventions, but also grappled with questions of family and public opposition to university education for women. This volume includes the complete novel, An American Girl, and Her Four Years in a Boys' College (1878) by Olive San Louie Anderson, a member of the first class of female students at the University of Michigan. As the genre was more prominent in the United States, two American college short stories are also reproduced, as well as extracts from a British example, L. T. Meade's A Sweet Girl Graduate (1891). School stories by their nature were largely supportive of girls' education but, nevertheless, in some of the extracts selected for this volume, they show ambivalence about issues such as women's suffrage. By making readily available materials which are currently very difficult for scholars, researchers, and students across the globe to locate and use, Girls' School Stories in English, 1749-1929 is a veritable treasure-trove. The gathered works are reproduced in facsimile, giving users a strong sense of immediacy to the texts and permitting citation to the original pagination. Each volume is also supplemented by substantial introductions, newly written by the editors, which contextualize the material. And with a detailed appendix providing data on the provenance of the gathered works, the collection is destined to be welcomed as a vital reference and research resource. Contains 6 Hardbacks

Una llave maestra a Finnegans Wake (en inglés A Skeleton Key to Finnegans Wake) es una obra de crítica literaria de 1944 escrita por el mitólogo, escritor y profesor estadounidense Joseph Campbell y el novelista americano Henry Morton Robinson. Forma parte de su Obra completa.

Contenido

Primer texto importante para proporcionar un análisis en profundidad de Finnegans Wake (novela final de James Joyce), Una llave maestra a Finnegans Wake es considerada por muchos estudiosos como un trabajo fundamental en dicha obra. El término monomito, que Campbell usó para describir su viaje del héroe en su libro El héroe de las mil caras, proviene de Finnegans Wake.

Campbell y Robinson comenzaron su análisis del trabajo de Joyce por dos razones: porque Finnegans Wake, aunque ampliamente reconocida como una obra maestra, también fue ampliamente rechazada como ininteligible ("el libro más grande que nadie haya leído jamás"); y porque habían reconocido en The Skin of Our Teeth (1942), la popular obra de Thornton Wilder, una apropiación de la novela de Joyce no sólo de temas, sino también de trama y lenguaje.

Historia editorial
Una llave maestra a Finnegans Wake fue publicada por primera vez por Harcourt Brace en 1944. Una segunda edición fue publicada por Viking Press en 1968. Una edición no autorizada publicada por Buccaneer Books en 1993 fue retirada cuando la Joseph Campbell Foundation reclamó la infracción de derechos de autor. Una tercera edición fue publicada en 2005 por la New World Library como parte de las Obras completas de Joseph Campbell; esta última edición fue editada y prologada por el erudito joyceano Edmund Epstein.

Last weekend I decided to spontaneously head to Oktoberfest in Munich, Germany with Stoke Travel. I boarded the train from London with 40 other eager party strangers. 10 hours later, two bottles of rosé, countless beers and tequila shots later, we were greeted with a sea of tents and a party pumping in a campground. Definitely not the worst job I've been asked to do.
I'm a serial solo traveller, so group travel is an entirely new experience. Solo travel comes with many perks (I get to do what I want, when I want, and how I want) but, as I learned this past weekend, group travel can open the doors to new experiences that you wouldn't normally consider when you're hacking it by yourself. So here are 3 things I learned on my first group travel experience… thanks to Stoke Travel! Ps: Wanna get in on the Stoketober fest fun in 2019? You can sign up here!
Travel can be stressful at the best of times, and sometimes you just NEED to switch off and let someone else take the organisational reigns of your trip. Plus, if you throw a little bit of some good old fashioned binge drinking into the mix, you're looking down the long barrel of potentially lost passports, forgotten bags and misplaced iPhones.
This is where group travel can be great. You have a whole support team looking after you to make sure you have the best time ever, and let me tell you, the Stoke team really have the whole supportive family vibe down pat. I literally left my backpack on a platform in Mannheim, Germany. It had my entire life in it (think laptop, camera, hard drives etc) and I didn't even realise it was gone! Luckily enough, our guides picked it up for me. Talk about crisis averted.
Sail Croatia, kayak through Norway, hike Kilimanjaro, party in Ibiza, drink at Oktoberfest - all things I probably wouldn't do if I was travelling by myself. Sure you might make friends (especially if you're a serial hostel traveller like me) but sometimes turning up by yourself to a local drinking festival when you know no one can be daunting.
On the other hand, if you rock up solo on a group travel trip by yourself, you'll soon be calling 40 people amongst your nearest and dearest. Travelling to Oktoberfest with Stoke provided me with the opportunity to do something I honestly didn't even have on my radar for this year, and I had one heck of a time!
I've talked about this before when I hiked Stairway to Heaven in Hawaii. Sometimes when you share a significant achievement or life event with other people - even people you don't know - it bonds you together in this weird, we all survived this CRAZY WEEKEND together, kind of way. Even if you never hangout in person again, you'll always have a special unspoken bond. And who knows, sometimes you might meet someone who will change your life. Anything is possible. That's the great thing about travel!
The fact that I visited New Zealand ten months ago is shocking. The fact that only now am I sharing my photos from my time there is alarming. Sometimes I do this thing where I work so hard on my client work that I forget that I have other images I need and want to edit. Finally however, I've managed to power through my files and release these into the wild (yay!).
