Brecht set his play in nineteenth-century Victorian England, a distancing effect that gave him license to criticise his own society of the 1920s without attacking his audience directly. Today its themes feel just as timely. Highly visual, and reimagined for a new generation, this brand new co-production is set in a futuristic dystopian underworld of organised crime. Our version suggests that the world of the future parallels Brecht's society and may indeed, reflect our own.

I was diagnosed last October with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Since then I have been on the usual medicine prednisone, folic acid and anti-inflammatory medicines. I am taking Remicade in 4 sessions. My doctor put be on Celebrex which did nothing for pain. Pain is on the right side from the hip to groin to thigh, leg and foot. He finally gave me a prescription for oxycodone and I take that with ibuprofen. I swim twice a week and take short walks. Not much of an appetite but will eat and I weigh 122 lb. I have researched RA for hours but I don't think there is much more one can do.
For my rheumatoid arthritis I take sulfasalazine 500 mg 2 tablet twice a day, glucosamine and chondroitin 2 tablet a day, omeprazole 20 mg 1 capsule a day, omega 3 fish oil capsule twice a day, Celebrex 200 mg one a day, Plaquenil 200 one a day, methotrexate 7.5 mg 1 tablet on Saturday, methotrexate 7.5 mg 1 tablet on Sunday, Folvite 1 tablet on Thursday, and I am drinking green tea once a day.
Prednisone seems to work well for me but an ER doctor said weight gain is a factor.
Prednisone has worked for my husband. He only takes 2 tablets a day. His side effects are dimmed eye sight and stomach upsets.

Historical Region
Unrecognized country somaliland
The region probably formed part of the "Land of Punt" known to the ancient Egyptians. Between the 7th and the 12th century CE, cities such as Seylac and Berbera on the Gulf of Aden and Marka, Baraawe, and Mogadishu along the Indian Oceanserved as trading ports in a region that the Arab Islamic world called bilad al-Barbar ("country of the Barbar"), Barbar (also Berber, Barbaroi) being a name for the Somali people of the region based on the descriptions of the inhabitants of the area found in the Greek document Periplus Maris Erythraei(1st century CE; "Navigation of the Erythrean [i.e., Red] Sea"). Those medieval cities exported gums and resins, ostrich feathers, and slaves and waged war against the Christian Ethiopians of the interior. The Somali, who occupied those areas alongside other groups, had begun adopting Islam in the 7th century, and the religion became firmly entrenched in the centuries that followed. The occupants of the cities organized themselves into sultanates such as Adal, centred at Seylac, and Ajuran, centred at Mogadishu.
When the European nations began to partition Africa among themselves in the late 19th century, Francealready possessed (from 1862) a coaling station at Obock near the mouth of the Red Sea, other areas of the north coast were occupied by Egypt, and southern Somaliland recognized the overlordship of the sultan of Zanzibar. By the end of the 1880s, France had expanded its holdings to the area of present Djibouti, Britain had established a protectorate over the north coast opposite its base at Aden, and Italycontrolled the remainder of the country. In the north the Muslim leader Sayyid Maxamed Cabdulle Xasan began a war against the British in 1899 and maintained his hold over the interior until his death in 1920. The Italians acquired Jubaland in the extreme south after World War I, and in 1936 they united their Somali possessions with Ethiopia to form Italian East Africa. The British won control of the Italian zone during World War II. In 1960 British and Italian Somaliland were united to form the independent Republic of Somalia. French Somaliland (renamed the French Territory of the Afars and Issas in 1967) became independent as the Republic of Djibouti in 1977.
Republic Of Somaliland
Following the civil war that began in Somalia in the 1980s and the subsequent overthrow of that country's government in 1991, a government opposition group, the Somali National Movement, secured the region comprising the former British Somaliland. In May 1991 they announced that the 1960 federation was no longer valid and declared their region to be an independent state, henceforth to be known as the Republic of Somaliland. Though not internationally recognized, Somaliland experienced relative stability—a sharp contrast to the civil war that continued to engulf Somalia. Taking advantage of that stability, the Somaliland government was able to rebuild much of the region's infrastructure, which had been damaged by years of warfare.

Since the late 1990s there has been tension between Somaliland and Puntland (an area in the northeastern part of Somalia, which declared itself an autonomous region in 1998). Each disputed the other's claim to the Sanaag and Sool regions, and armed confrontations have periodically ensued.
In 2001, 10 years after breaking away from Somalia, Somaliland still was not internationally recognized as an independent country. Undeterred, the government held a referendum that year, the results of which clearly showed that Somaliland's inhabitants supported the region's claim of independence. As it had in the past, in 2003 the Somaliland government rejected invitations to participate in peace talks aimed at reunifying Somalia, maintaining that its independent status precluded it from being a party to such discussions.

Discussion in 'Basses [BG]' started by Malcom, Nov 29, 2002.
I've been told that Peter Hook Played a Yamaha 4 string and and a Shergold six string bass in Joy Division. Does anybody know if said six string was a "true" six string (tuned in fourths) or a "baritone guitar" six string (i.e. Dano Tic-Tac bass)?
It was (and still is) a Shergold Marathon tuned E A D G B E. It was a black one which I believe he still has. He also currently uses a white one live and his son Jack (who is the main bass player in his band The Light) uses a wine red one.

Q: Getting numpy vector from a trained Doc2Vec model for each document This is my first time using Doc2Vec
I'm trying to classify works of an author. I have trained a model with Labeled Sentences (paragraphs, or strings of specified length), with words = the list of words in the paragraph, and tags = author's name. In my case I only have two authors.
I tried accessing the docvecs attribute from the trained model but it only contains two elements, corresponding to the two tags I have when I trained the model. I'm trying to get the doc2vec numpy representations of each paragraph I fed in to the training so I can use that as training data later on. How can I do this?
Thanks.

A: Bulk training only creates vectors for tags you supplied. If you want to read out a bulk-trained vector per paragraph (as if by model.docvecs['paragraph000']), you have to give each paragraph a unique tag during training (like 'paragraph000'). You can give docs other tags as well - but bulk training only creates remembers doc-vectors for supplied tags.
After training, you can infer vectors for any other texts you supply to infer_vector() - and of course you could supply the same paragraphs that were used during training.

Entire Portland metro area placed on 'pause' as coronavirus spreads
Nov. 9, 2020 at 9:01 pm Updated Nov. 10, 2020 at 11:33 am
Brad Schmidt
The Oregonian / oregonlive.com
Oregon Gov. Kate Brown extended a two-week "pause" on social activities to the entire Portland metro area, announcing Monday that coronavirus infections in the suburbs have spiraled too quickly.
Brown's directive, which takes effect Wednesday, reduces restaurant capacity and indoor sporting activities to 50 people and blocks indoor visitations at long-term care facilities. The governor also encouraged working from home and asked Oregonians to limit social gatherings to six people.
Brown on Monday added four counties — Clackamas, Baker, Union and Washington — to the list of jurisdictions entering the pause period. Brown named Multnomah, Marion, Jackson, Umatilla and Malheur to the list last week.
"As we continue to see alarmingly high case rates reflective of sporadic community spread, now is the time to implement measures to further reduce gatherings and curb human contact," Brown said in a statement.
Oregon set a slew of coronavirus records Monday, reaching new highs in average daily cases, active hospitalizations and test positivity rates. Those figures have nearly doubled in the past two weeks as Oregon, like the rest of the country, experiences a record-setting wave of infection.
Brown and public health officials said more social and business restrictions may be necessary without improvement by Nov. 25, the day before Thanksgiving, when the pause period is tentatively set to end.
Given the current trajectory, it's unclear whether that will happen. Oregon's rate of transmission is estimated as the sixth- or ninth-highest in the country, according to coronavirus tracking websites previously cited by the Oregon Health Authority.
The new restaurant guidelines set a capacity of 50 people, including customers and staff. That capacity also applies to gyms, bowling alleys, swimming pools, yoga studios and museums. Officials are also asking people to limit the frequency of gatherings and keep social circles to six people.
Oregon is applying a pause period to populous counties that recorded at least 200 cases per 100,000 people during the past two weeks, or more than 60 cases over the same span for counties with fewer than 30,000 residents.
Both Washington and Clackamas counties were just under the threshold. But Brown placed them on pause anyway, citing the high daily case counts from the past week.
"We realize that the news of a two-week pause is something Clackamas County residents did not want to hear," Clackamas County Chairman Jim Bernard said in a statement. "We understand this is disappointing. But it's necessary."
Brown has asked Oregonians to pause social activities in nine counties totaling more than 2.5 million residents, or nearly 60% of the state's population, including five of the six most populous counties.
The new pause criteria replace "watch list" metrics that Brown and public health officials set in July, which tracked the rate of infections that could not be traced to a known source. Officials from at least one county, Multnomah, strongly pushed back against that system.
As of the last calculation, Oregon's statewide average was failing to meet the "watch list" benchmarks Brown set for counties.

USES: This medication is used to treat certain mental/mood disorders (such as schizophrenia, psychotic disorders). Trifluoperazine helps you to think more clearly, feel less nervous, and take part in everyday life. It can reduce aggressive behavior and the desire to hurt yourself/others. It may also help to decrease hallucinations (hearing/seeing things that are not there). Trifluoperazine is a psychiatric medication that belongs to the class of drugs called phenothiazine antipsychotics. It works by helping to restore the balance of certain natural substances in the brain. This medication has also been used for the short-term treatment of anxiety. However, there are safer drugs to treat anxiety that should be used first before trifluoperazine.
HOW TO USE: Take this medication by mouth with or without food, usually once or twice daily or as directed by your doctor. Dosage is based on your medical condition, age, and response to treatment. In children, the dosage is also based on weight. To reduce your risk of side effects, your doctor may direct you to start this medication at a low dose and gradually increase your dose. Follow your doctor's instructions carefully. Take this medication regularly to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, take it at the same time(s) each day. Although you may notice some medication effects soon after starting, it may take 2 to 3 weeks before you get the full benefit of this drug. Do not stop taking this medication without consulting your doctor. Some conditions may become worse when this drug is suddenly stopped. Also, you may experience symptoms such as upset stomach, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and shakiness. To prevent these symptoms while you are stopping treatment with this drug, your doctor may reduce your dose gradually. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for more details. Report any new or worsening symptoms immediately. Tell your doctor if your condition does not improve or if it worsens.
SIDE EFFECTS: Drowsiness, dizziness, dry mouth, blurred vision, tiredness, constipation, weight gain, and trouble sleeping may occur. If any of these effects persist or worsen, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly. To reduce the risk of dizziness and lightheadedness, get up slowly when rising from a sitting or lying position. This drug may cause muscle/nervous system problems (extrapyramidal symptoms-EPS). Your doctor may prescribe another medication to decrease these side effects. Tell your doctor immediately if you notice any of the following side effects: feelings of anxiety/agitation/jitteriness, drooling/trouble swallowing, restlessness/constant need to move, shaking (tremor), shuffling walk, stiff muscles, severe muscle spasms/cramping (such as twisting neck, arching back, eyes rolling up), mask-like expression of the face. Remember that your doctor has prescribed this medication because he or she has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects. Tell your doctor immediately if any of these unlikely but serious side effects occur: difficulty urinating, sunburn-like rash (sun sensitivity), decreased cough reflex, swelling of the feet/ankles, butterfly-shaped rash on nose and cheeks, joint/muscle pain, skin discoloration, eye/vision changes, feeling unusually cold or hot, muscle weakness. Infrequently, this medication may cause face/muscle twitching and uncontrollable movements (tardive dyskinesia). In some cases, this condition may be permanent. Tell your doctor immediately if you develop any uncontrollable movements such as lip smacking, mouth puckering, tongue thrusting, chewing, or unusual arm/leg movements. In rare cases, trifluoperazine may increase your level of a certain chemical made by the body (prolactin). For females, this increase in prolactin may result in unwanted breast milk, missed/stopped periods, or difficulty becoming pregnant. For males, it may result in decreased sexual ability, inability to produce sperm, or enlarged breasts. If you develop any of these symptoms, tell your doctor immediately. Rarely, males may have a painful or prolonged erection lasting 4 or more hours. If this occurs, stop using this drug and seek immediate medical attention, or permanent problems could occur. Tell your doctor immediately if any of these rare but serious side effects occur: signs of liver problems (such as yellowing eyes/skin, dark urine, persistent nausea, vomiting, stomach/abdominal pain), signs of infection (such as fever, persistent sore throat), easy bruising/bleeding, signs of anemia (such as severe tiredness, fast breathing, pale skin, fast heartbeat), mental/mood changes (such as worsening psychosis, unresponsive/catatonic state). Seek immediate medical attention if any of these rare but serious side effects occur: slowed breathing, chest pain, seizures. This drug may rarely cause a serious (sometimes fatal) nervous system problem (neuroleptic malignant syndrome-NMS). Seek immediate medical attention if you notice any of the following side effects: fever, stiff muscles, increased sweating, fast/irregular heartbeat, sudden mental/mood changes (such as confusion, loss of consciousness), change in the amount of urine. A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is rare. However, seek immediate medical attention if you notice any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, including: rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, trouble breathing. This is not a complete list of possible side effects. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist. In the US - Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088. In Canada - Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to Health Canada at 1-866-234-2345.

Any lovely ladies out there Air Force fiancées? I'm trying to add little details to reflect my fiancé's involvement in the military. Our venue is a rustic bed and breakfast located in Gettysburg, Pa. Any suggestions on small things we can add without making that the main focus?
Army fiancee here - have you looked into the themed cake toppers at all? They have some cute (and creative!) military ones on Etsy.
I have a USAF garter belt. He will also be in Dress Blues. Navy blue to match him is our wedding color along with white… Other than that I havnt been able to find anything that is not tacky.
I have been looking for a vintage USAF Brooch or something fun to put on my bouquet but so far no luck.
I have the same question - he doesn't want to wear his Dress Blues, and as of right now there's no plans for incorporating his service. I keep trying to think of little things we can add in. but haven't found the perfect thing just yet. For a while we were going to get custom made coins to hand out as our favor, but they're too expensive for our budget.
@bremnerschmitz , does your FI want touches of his service included in the wedding. MH and I were both serving when we were married. Neither of us wanted the Army included in our ceremony AT ALL. Talk to him before you add anything. 1. A lot of us don't want our everyday job included in our wedding. You probably wouldn't add it in if he was a construction worker or a teacher. 2. It can get very cheesy very fast.
We've already chatted about it, he wants a small nod, but we don't want it to become the theme in any way. We're actually trying to add a nod to both of our careers, just haven't figured out what that nod is going to be.
But I agree it can get cheesy very fast, and I definitely don't want that.
Until we recently moved, I was working with a wedding planner. When we had brides from my husband's unit, I would get a charm from the S5 shop that had the unit crest on it. We would pin it to the ribbon on the bouquet. It was just a tiny touch, but it meant so much to the bride and groom to have that little surprise.
Are you doing a groom's cake? We had a cop/nurse wedding once. She did a simple groom's cake but on top, there was a replica of his badge right next to the nurse symbol, I forget what it's called.
A few small touches that would not conflict much with any other theme you may have would be having your officiant say "You may salute your bride," which is another way of saying "kiss your bride," and having you announced as "Captain and Mrs. Smith" or whatever rank he is.
More in your face would be including, if he's a pilot, planes as a cake topper as others suggested or (I've seen this on Pinterest), have guests throw mini paper planes as you exit rather than confetti or bubbles, etc.
Please don't salute civilians. The tradition of saluting is important and shouldn't be a cutesy thing. It's one thing to salute a widow/er or something but at a wedding I'm not down.
H and I were intro'd as his rank his name and my name (since I hadn't joined yet).
Yeah, I'm not down with the salute thing. That's why so many of these chicks think they need to be saluted at the gate or need awards for doing what a wife or spouse should do.
Also not liking the salute thing. Just not appropriate.
That's fine if it's part of a culture but, in the company of military personnel, whether they actually salute or kiss, it can be taken differently...as you can see from this thread.
ETA: I would like the name of a specific culture that does this because I googled and found zilch.
The phrase has African cultural ties, for one. For example, my cousin used the tradition in her wedding, which was between a couple of Kenyan descent.
I don't believe there is much need to get into here in this vein as it's not terribly helpful to OP.
The suggestion is one of many here - I am sure OP will have some good ideas to work with from the boards!
Air Force fiancee here as well. So far this is the only "military-esque" idea I can think of right HERE.

Spain threatens Catalan separatists as deadline looms
Spain threatens Catalan separatists as deadline looms /node/1179596/world
Lawmakers hold up posters reading: "Free Jordi Sanchez and Jordi Cuixart," leaders of the Catalan grassroots organizations Catalan National Assembly and Omnium Cultural, during a parliamentary session at the Spanish parliament in Madrid, on Wednesday, October 18, 2017. (AP)
MADRID: Spain said Wednesday it would take the unprecedented step of seeking to suspend Catalonia's autonomy if the region's leader does not abandon his independence bid, on the eve of his deadline to give a final answer.
Separatist leader Carles Puigdemont — whose banned independence referendum on October 1 has sparked Spain's worst political crisis in decades — has until 10:00 am (0800 GMT) on Thursday to tell the central government in Madrid whether or not he is declaring a split from the rest of the country.
Unless he backs down, Deputy Prime Minister Soraya Saenz de Santamaria said Madrid would trigger article 155 of Spain's constitution, a never before used measure that could allow it to take direct control over semi-autonomous Catalonia.
It could allow Madrid to suspend Puigdemont's regional government and eventually trigger new elections in Catalonia, but the move would risk further escalating a crisis that has sparked huge street rallies, rattled stock markets and deeply worried Spain's EU partners.
"All I ask of Mr.Puigdemont is that he acts with good sense," Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy told parliament on Wednesday.
Puigdemont issued a cryptic "suspended" declaration of independence following the referendum, saying he wanted time for talks with the government — a prospect Madrid has rejected.
Rajoy would need Senate approval to trigger article 155, but his conservative Popular Party has a majority there.
Jordi Xucla, a lawmaker from Catalonia's ruling coalition, told Rajoy in parliament that such a move would be "a serious mistake... its application would be difficult and questionable."
The latest escalation came after tens of thousands of people took to the streets of Barcelona on Tuesday night after a court jailed two influential Catalan separatist leaders, Jordi Cuixart and Jordi Sanchez, pending investigation into sedition charges.
Barcelona police said around 200,000 people massed in the city center calling for the release of the pair known as the "two Jordis," who spent a second night behind bars Tuesday.
Shouting "freedom" and "independence," the crowds lit candles, turning the boulevard into a sea of flickering lights.
"They want us to be afraid so we stop thinking of independence, but the opposite will happen. There are more of us every day," Elias Houariz, a 22-year-old baker, told AFP at the rally.
Cuixart and Sanchez are the leaders of pro-independence citizens' groups Omnium Cultural and the Catalan National Assembly (ANC) respectively, which count tens of thousands of members each and have emerged as influential players in the crisis.
They are accused of whipping up major demonstrations last month in the run-up to the referendum, when protesters blocked Spanish police for hours inside the Catalan administration's offices as they were raiding the building.
Manchester City's Catalan manager Pep Guardiola dedicated his team's 2-1 win over Napoli in the Champions League on Tuesday to the detained pair.
"We have shown in Catalonia that citizenship is bigger than any ideas. We hope they will be released soon," he said.
Thousands of workers in Barcelona and other cities had also staged a brief walkout earlier Tuesday in protest at the detentions.
Catalan police chief Josep Lluis Trapero has also been charged with sedition — a crime that carries up to 15 years' jail time — accused of failing to stop the referendum going ahead.
With its own language and culture, Catalonia is proud of its autonomy but its 7.5 million people are deeply divided over independence.
Puigdemont claims the referendum resulted in a 90 percent "Yes" vote, but the turnout was only 43 percent as many supporters of Spanish unity stayed away.
Separatists argue that wealthy Catalonia, which represents about a fifth of Spain's economic output, does too much to prop up the rest of the country and would be better off going it alone.
But opponents say the region has more clout as part of a bigger Spain and that the instability could be disastrous for its economy.
Madrid announced Monday that it was cutting its economic growth forecast for next year from 2.6 to 2.3 percent, pointing blame at the Catalan crisis.
The standoff has sparked a business exodus, with nearly 700 companies moving their legal headquarters out of Catalonia in a bid to minimize the instability.

Following several intensive campaigns, Hanoi, central Da Nang city and Ho Chi Minh City recently recorded higher helmet-wearing rates among children, reaching 68 percent in average from 38 percent in March, according to surveys from the Asia Injury Prevention (AIP) Foundations.
The positive rate was revealed during a conference reviewing the outcomes of the National Child Helmet Action Plan on May 8. The initiative is part of Vietnam's response to the 3rd Global Road Safety Week initiated by the United Nations.
Khuat Viet Hung, Deputy Chairman of the National Traffic Safety Committee, said the results are attributable to sound collaboration between promotion activities and law enforcement nationwide.
CEO of AIP Foundation Mirjam Sidik said the encouraging rate is a meaningful and practical response from Vietnam to the UN's international week.
At the function, participants discussed barriers to adequate safety precautions among young citizens – most of which result from low parental awareness on the matter.

Catalytic converter thieves strike at local businesses | Police reports Oct. 18-24
by BOB UPHUES October 26, 2021 October 28, 2021
A spate of catalytic converter thefts in Brookfield continued last week with offenders targeting local businesses where multiple vehicles are parked overnight.
Police on the morning of Oct. 18 responded to Galloping Ghost Garage, 9521 Ogden Ave., after the manager called to report that sometime after Oct. 15 the catalytic converters had been removed from six vehicles parked in spaces along the alley outside the business.
Brookfield police also responded to Gear and Repair, 9100 Plainfield Road, on the morning of Oct. 22 after someone called to report that someone had stolen the catalytic converter from a camper that was parked in the lot sometime after Oct. 18.
While investigating that theft, another person at the business notified police that a portion of an exhaust system had been removed from another RV on the lot. That vehicle had been last seen intact about a week earlier.
North Riverside police responded to the parking lot of Petco, 2204 Harlem Ave., on Oct. 19 at about 2:20 p.m. after someone called to report that while he was in the store for just five minutes, someone had sawed off the catalytic converter from his 2021 Ford, which was parked in the lot.
DUI crash
Brookfield police charged a 44-year-old Chicago man with driving under the influence of alcohol after he allegedly crashed his black 2008 Lexus into three vehicles in the 9000 block of Burlington Avenue on Oct. 19 at 2:10 a.m.
According to police, the Lexus was eastbound on Burlington Avenue when he struck a gray Honda CR-V and a silver Subaru Forester that had been parked on the north side of Burlington Avenue and then crashed into a Nissan Altima head on, pushing that vehicle up onto the railroad embankment.
Police reported that the driver of the Lexus was not injured but appeared heavily intoxicated and did not know what town he was in, telling officers he had been at a bar "on 17th" where he had gotten into a verbal altercation with someone he knew.
Paramedics transported the driver to the hospital for evaluation, where a blood test reportedly revealed the man's blood-alcohol content to be .207, which is more than two times the legal limit of .08.
A 24-year-old Brookfield woman whose 2021 Jeep rolled over onto its side after striking a Ford SUV parked in the 3300 block of Park Avenue on Oct. 22 about 2:05 a.m. was not injured in the crash.
Police, however, charged the woman with DUI after firefighters extricated her from the vehicle. They also reported finding an open can of hard cider inside the vehicle.
Church vandalized
An employee of the International Fellowship Church, 9146 Lincoln Ave., Brookfield, called police on the morning of Oct. 20 to report that, sometime after 9 p.m. on Oct. 18, an unknown person or people vandalized the church building.
A dark-colored liquid had been sprayed on windows on the north, south and west sides of the church, and police reported observing "various acts of criminal damage and mischievous conduct" all around the church building.
Police reported finding "candy canes and condoms" by two of the doors and a toy goat skeleton placed on the front door handles.
A witness told police her husband had observed juveniles hanging out on the east side of the church on multiple occasions, but that he'd never observed them doing any mischief.
Garage burglary
A resident of the 4200 block of Elm Avenue, Brookfield, called police to report that during the overnight hours someone had entered his garage and stole two Black and Decker drills, a tool and socket set and two bicycles. The bikes were described as an old green mountain bike and a black Vilano Diverse 1.0 Performance Hybrid 21-speed road bike valued at $350.
The victim said it was possible the overhead garage door had been left open by mistake. There were no signs of forced entry.
Auto theft
A resident of the 8400 block of Cermak Road, North Riverside, called police on Oct. 23 to report that between 7 and 8:45 p.m. someone had stolen his red 2014 Jeep Cherokee, which was parked in its normal spot at the building.
The victim stated he had both sets of keys in his possession. Police reported seeing no signs of forced entry at the site where the vehicle had been parked.
Vehicle break-in
North Riverside police responded to the building site of a new grocery store at 7201 24th Street on Oct. 20 after a worker called to report that, sometime between 6 and 7:05 a.m., someone had broken out the rear passenger side window of his vehicle, which was parked in the lot, and removed two wallets containing IDs, credit cards and debit cards.
These items were obtained from police reports filed by the Riverside, North Riverside and Brookfield police departments, Oct. 18-24, and represent a portion of the incidents to which police responded. Unless otherwise indicated, anybody named in these reports has only been charged with a crime. These cases have not been adjudicated.

Major operation in the Tenderloin begins to move homeless off the streets and into hotels (updated 4:45 p.m.)
by Natalia Gurevich, Joe Eskenazi and Lydia Chávez June 11, 2020 September 29, 2020

Chelsea Crumpler with the Coalition on Homelessness said the efforts for today and the coming days are being coordinated by the Healthy Streets Operation Center (HSOC). The Homeless Outreach Team (HOT) is helping with transport and outreach.
The bottlenecks around the intake process – such as the time it can take to persuade someone, and the inability to transport more than two individuals at a time – means that only about 20 people are going to be moved every day. And adding to those difficulties is the last-minute scramble because, Crumpler said, it's the day of that the HOT team finds out the number of rooms to fill, tracks down the people who qualify, and pinpoints a streetcorner for the pickup.
It appears that only about six more people will be transported today. Mark, a supervisor of the HOT team, said the operation will unfold over the next two weeks. He declined to say where they would be focusing next because they don't want homeless residents from other parts of the city to move into the Tenderloin. There are plans in motion for other parts of the city that need attention. The operation is being done without the help of the police. Sources said earlier in the day that the plan is to move 300 homeless residents into hotel rooms.
As the HOT team works to move people from the streets into the hotels, the residents have to reduce their belongings to two bags. Another difficulty is the limited number of ADA-accessible rooms — apparently there have only been four available in the last month that can accommodate a disabled person. The Homeless Outreach Team (HOT) is a group of outreach workers who are employed by the Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing.
Nevertheless, the HOT Team is now picking up another six homeless residents at Turk and Hyde Streets.
Jason, a resident, approached the HOT team on the corner and advocated for someone over the age of 65, who he knows. They explained they are only aiding residents of the Tenderloin today, and a HOT supervisor advised Jason to reach back out about the 65-year-old later by text.
Crumpler said that she has been told that eight people have been picked up so far today in the city's efforts to move as many as 300 homeless residents off the streets in the Tenderloin and into hotel rooms. The city is only sending one van every half hour and only putting one or two people on at a time because of COVID-19 concerns. "And it's hard because some people wander off," away from the waiting van, said one DPH worker. A member of the HOT team said that, most likely tomorrow, they will be working at McAllister and Hyde Streets.
A deployment is under way this morning to move perhaps 300 homeless residents off the streets of the Tenderloin and into unused hotel rooms, according to multiple city sources. Just how difficult that would be became clear early on as HOT Team workers tried to convince a couple at Turk and Hyde to step into a van to be transported to the Cova Hotel. According to Chelsea Crumpler, an outreach coordinator for the Coalition on Homelessness, there are 141 rooms available at the Cova Hotel.
At present, the HOT Team knows of 15 rooms they are trying to fill with individuals or couples. At this time, one individual has boarded the transport bus. His girlfriend, concerned that they may be separated, resisted.
Her partner asked the woman's mother to call to convince her, but his girlfriend refused to pick up her phone, saying, "That's not my mother." The bus left without her and with only the one homeless resident. The HOT Team will most likely follow up with her tomorrow, said one of the HOT workers.

DPH workers on the scene told Mission Local they did not know how many hotel rooms would be used, and that they were surveying the situation on the streets. They will get started, they said, once they know how many hotel rooms are available. As of June 10, the city reported that 308 hotel rooms set aside for homeless and vulnerable populations were unused.
In early May, the city came up with a new plan to deal with the sharp increase in the number of tents in the Tenderloin. That plan was criticized as too little too late —and today's action comes on the very day Supervisor Matt Haney is holding a hearing on its progress.
Haney said nobody informed him of today's activities.
The "Tenderloin Plan" was to first focus on 13 blocks with 159 tents, 32 encampments, and 153 individuals, according to an April 22 count that measured the increase since January. Six of those 13 blocks had no homeless services. The April count showed a 71 percent increase in tents citywide and a 285 percent jump in the Tenderloin to 268 tents "including 18 sites with 6 or more tents and structures."
So far, the city has opened three new safe sleeping sites including a new one on Monday at Everett Middle School.

Founder/Executive Editor. I've been a Mission resident since 1998 and a professor emeritus at Berkeley's J-school since 2019 when I retired. I got my start in newspapers at the Albuquerque Tribune in the city where I was born and raised. Like many local news outlets, The Tribune no longer exists. I left daily newspapers after working at The New York Times for the business, foreign and city desks. Lucky for all of us, it is still there.
As an old friend once pointed out, local has long been in my bones. My Master's Project at Columbia, later published in New York Magazine, was on New York City's experiment in community boards.
Right now I'm trying to figure out how you make that long-held interest in local news sustainable. The answer continues to elude me.

Andrea Draper says:
I'm homeless outside the DMV on Oak. The encampment at Haight & Stanyan filled up in 48 hrs. There's a 50+ waiting list. We are All on it. We don't want to get covid-19 or give it to anyone else. Come talk to us if you want to know. Please don't let the Mayor, the press or anyone else talk for Us. Please get Us a portable sink & port a John. They have one in this lot for the Farmer's Market for less than 24 hrs/wk. Why not leave it here 7 days a week? The DMV has to powerwash it's back exterior wall 5 days a week cuz we r forced to use it as a port a John. Please look into India's recent "End Open Defecation" Initiative. Which is wildly successful btw. Talk about gone far enough…..HELP US B4 WE GET ALL OF U SICK!!!!!!
What about the Mission? There are several long time encampments, including bicycle chop shops that never go away.
Jake T says:
In unrelated news, Ronen is running for election unopposed.
Scott Bravmann says:
While many people don't see them or even know they exist, there are approximately 2,500 children who live in the Tenderloin. Except for Boeddeker Park, which is open for limited hours, there is nowhere for kids to spend time outside. About 200 of the neighborhood kids attend Tenderloin Community School – nearly two thirds of the student body. I know the school well: my daughter attended TCS from pre-K through fifth grade before moving on to middle school last fall, and I have remained actively involved with the school.
Since March, teachers and other TCS staff have conducted regular wellness checks with school families. Most report that they have not gone outside since the shelter in place began. That has been my impression as well: every day I bike and walk around the neighborhood, but I almost never see anyone from the school that I know.
Throughout the shelter in place, exercise and other outdoor activities have been encouraged because they are crucial to physical and mental health. But TL residents have nowhere nearby they can go to for recreation, and even navigating the sidewalks for a neighborhood walk is a challenge. Significantly reduced Muni service makes it hard to get to other less-crowded and greener parts of the city. My young friends in the TL have been stuck inside for nearly three months and, without action, that will continue through the summer. The lack of safe outdoor activity space for kids is a public health issue in its own right.
There are many ways to create some spaces for kids to use that will still allow for social distancing and not be punitive to the people, also neglected by the city but at least recognized, who are living on the sidewalks. The city needs to close streets to create long-term and "pop up" safe spaces for kids to bike, skate and ride scooters; to run around; to make chalk drawings; to see their friends even if from a safe distance. It took no time for the city to close off vehicular access to the greater Union Square area to defend high-end retail from imagined future looters (as if they would actually drive their cars right up to the stores they were going to target).
Kids in the Tenderloin are infinitely more important than luxury goods and a few windows. It'd be nice if the city could offer them the respect, support and opportunities they deserve – to act as quickly for them as they did for Macy's, Louis Vuitton, Crate & Barrel, Swatch and Victoria's Secret, at a fraction of the cost. But if the city can do almost nothing for the people living in dire circumstances on the street, maybe it's too much to ask that they do something for kids they can't even see.
Karl says:
Conservatorship laws need to be reformed in order to compel treatment for the underlying debilitating drug addiction and mental health issues.
Additionally, despite what a (single) oft-cited "study" proclaims, there is no way that 70% of those languishing on the streets of the Tenderloin are formerly-housed San Franciscans.
Karl you speak the truth
JANEBADALL says:
A person can catch a ride to SF, spend a few days on a friend or family members couch, thus, they were formerly housed… Or, yeah, they were formerly housed, then they were evicted for non payment of rent, must have had something to do with that meth addiction, who knows? (shrugs)
David A says:
I am surprised that DPH workers are doing this without SFPD help. It makes sense – just surprising.
K D says:
When will this happen in the Mission/Castro? I know they've opened the site at Everett MS but that could probably be filled up just with the tents within a 1-block radius. The situation on 16th street has been deteriorating for quite some time.
When the Mission and Castro look more like the Tenderloin than they do today, unfortunately. The Everest MS site is half full at best.
Sup. Mandelman hosts 2pm Zoom calls with his constituents every Friday where you can ask him to take more direct action in relocating people to safer places.
How can U tell? Cuz there's a vision blocking fence around it. The site at Haight & Stanyan is full w a 50 Person waiting list. I know cuz I'm homeless at the DMV on Oak. Please know for sure B4 saying your's is half empty on June 12….is it full now on June 20?? Cuz We over here at the DMV are chaffing at the bit to go ANYWHERE better than this!!!
They've opened a site at Everette Middle School? You mean on the sidewalks and beneath the palms? Cause that's where they are pitching their tents.
David Elliott Lewis says:
Finally. I hope this actually happens. As a long time Tenderloin resident, I suffer the consequences of city inaction. Housing is the solution to homelessness. This is a start.
David Elliott Lewis
Unfortunately, as the paranoid girlfriend in this article indicates, housing is not the solution to mental illness and drug abuse.
Do you know the woman or her boyfriend or what either one of them is like? Maybe she has good reason not to want to shelter in place with the guy? If you don't want to share a hotel room with him then why should she be willing to?
Johnp says:
We could house every individual in the PIT count twice over – at market rates – given the existing budget for homelessness. The problem is that it is not only about housing, but severe addiction and mental illness. Not sure we will ever solve a problem we continue failing to honestly and accurately define.

Tenant's pre-emptive right
The right of first refusal (or pre-emptive right) has been established to protect the tenant if the apartment is sold.
If the owner intends to sell his property unoccupied at the end of the lease period, he must grant a leave of sale 6 months before the tenant's deadline.
Then, It gives the priority for the tenant to enter a business transaction with the owner before the owner is entitled to enter into that transaction with a third party.
The tenant may use this right concerning the first sale after a first condominium as when a single owner decides to split his property and sell the parcels of it.
The pre-emptive right is not applicable when the landlord wishes to sell his property to one of his parents. This derogation is available to parents or to the fourth-degree relatives, as nephews and nieces, aunts and uncles...
In this case, the landlord is not obliged to propose the accommodation to the tenant.
To enjoy this right, the tenant must hold a standard three-years lease, drafted under the 6 of July 1989 Act. Are excluded tenants with a lease for a furnished rental or corresponding to a seasonal rental.
Pre-emptive right shall not apply to sales concerning insalubrious buildings or subject to a prohibition to live or an order of risk.
When an owner decides to sell his property, he has to warn the tenant by registered mail or by a bailiff at least six months before the term of the lease.
This letter has to be sent to each tenant, common-law, married or PACS living in the accommodation. In fact, each person mentioned on the contract could benefit of the pre-emption right.
If one of the occupants refuses to use this right, it does not exclude another occupant to acquire the property even if they are married.
The mail has to mention the leave for sale, the price of the property and the terms of sale. It must also reproduce the first five paragraphs of the 15.II Article of the 6 of July 1989 Act.
The offer must indicate the proportion of co-ownership affected to the parcel and all annexes as cellar, parking...
If all its rules are not observed, the leave of sale may be cancelled.
Tenant's respond
The tenant has a statutory period of two months upon receipt of the mail to accept the offer.
After this period, a non-response from the tenant means that he has rejected the offer and he will lose his tenancy rights at the end of the lease.
This statutory period could be shorter if the tenant decides to purchase or not the property. In these two cases, he just has to send a registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt to the owner.
If the tenant needs a loan to buy this property, he just has to mention it in the mail. The sale will be under the suspensive condition of obtaining a loan.
When the offer is accepted, it will extend the lease until the expiration of the sale.
The statutory period for the completion of the sale depends on the loan application.
If the tenant doesn't need a loan, the deadline is two months after the receipt of the letter of acceptance.
If he requests a bank loan, he has four months from the receipt of the mail.
NB : If the sale is not done during this period, the offer is cancelled and the tenant will lose all his tenancy rights unless the failure is due to the owner.
If the property has to be sold to a third party at a lower price, the owner should make a new offer to the tenant.
The sale contract to this third party must be notified by the notary or by the owner even though the tenant left the accommodation. If his new address is unknown, it will be notify to his former home issued by a bailiff.
This second pre-emptive right (stipulated in the 21 of July 1994 Act) stands as a new sale offer. The tenant has a month to respond after the mail reception.
For a rented apartment sale
If the owner decides to sell his occupied apartment, he has no obligation to propose it to the tenant. But, in this case, the lease will not be changed and it will run until its end.
We recommend you to always warn the tenant about your wish to sell the property he occupies and if he holds an obvious interest to acquire it.
In addition, if he does not want to purchase it, ask him about his availability in order to perform the necessary diagnostics for sale and to schedule the visits.

I Know Why The Caged Bird Wrote
The written word is so powerful, and somehow it expresses the inner feelings of individuals in the most descriptive way. This is true in song lyrics, novels, love letters, and especially poems. And what better poet than Maya Angelou, to express the joys and sorrows of the life lessons she learned throughout her time on earth. At age 86, that time ended today far too soon for the generations who could have immensely grown from the morals she had to teach, but her words will live on forever. She was not immortal, but her writing is.
Angelou breathe's the breathe of every scared young girl in the world who thinks positively about getting out of a situation that is suppressing her dreams and clipping her wings. Angelou walks the steps of every woman fighting to keep her family afloat, and her faith strong, even when she feels as though she can't go on. Angelou is a powerful figure for women all around the globe, and her words paint her into a powerful statue of hope and strength every time they are read.
Not only did Maya Angelou inspire the world through her poetry, but through her books of essays and autobiographies where she feared nothing, and left no detail astray, when bravely sharing her life with the always-judging world around her.
I have a saying that I actually put into one of my songs for my new album coming out this year…
"People are just jealous fools until the going gets bad."
This may seem so cynical, and I promise you I am far from that, but when you think about the things you go through in life, more people come out of the woodwork in hardship than they do during celebratory times, and the cold hard truth is that people feed in drama. It took me a really long time to learn this lesson, but once I did, so many situations that I faced in my young adult life made so much sense.
Angelou didn't care about this. She knew that by sharing her story with the world, the negative attributes of her life would forever be associated with her, but she turned the tables and stood as a positive figure for those currently going through the situations she so eloquently rose above.
But I know why the "Caged Bird" wrote. I know why Angelou shared her stories, emotions, and feelings with the world, or at least I think I do.
As someone who loves to write, even if it's just about a song or an album, I get such a natural high after I post something that flows from my heart through my fingertips. It's almost like any pang of sadness or hardship just dissipates because my mind is now on paper (or on a computer screen). The bottom line is that everything is out of my body, off my chest, and on the page. What better way for someone like Angelou who had such an amazing life story, but so many problems in her early life, to get her sorrow off of her chest and her story to the world?
Maya Angelou spoke at Syracuse University in 2004 with these words of wisdom,
"You can see in others what they don't see in themselves and what the world doesn't see in them," she told Syracuse a decade ago. "We all have that possibility, that potential and that promise of seeing beyond the seeming."
This one quote shows her strength, forgiveness, truth, and belief in human beings, that proves her faith and forgiveness was stronger than any trial or tribulation in her life.
This is a quote that, although the lyric I wrote and posted above seems to contradict, I truly live by. I see the best in people, sometimes to a fault, and I think it's because I realize that every single person, even someone who is means and cruel on the outside, was a child at one time. A child belongs to someone; a child is innocent, humble, and free. If everyone was once that carefree child, then something happened to make them the bitter person they are today. Some people can't deal with pain and hardship the way Angelou did. Some people have a hard time of taking that negative and making it a positive, and that shouldn't be held against them. Maya Angelou however, should be praised for her poise, powerful messages, and personal goals that she fulfilled around every bend on her road of life. No one was as giving with their words as she, and she will forever be remembered in that light. As she once said,
Angelou wasn't giving to the point of no end however, and her one very famous quote that I'm sure we've all seen at one time or another, as it seems to be the go-to Facebook status for a broken-hearted high school girl…
"Never make someone a priority when all you are to them is an option."
And because Maya Angelou's love for music was just as strong as her charisma to rise to the success her grandmother knew she capable of in her life, her I must end my tribute to her with this…
"A bird doesn't sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song."
I won't say that if you aren't a fan of Maya Angelou you should be, because really, who isn't a fan of this beautiful woman and her powerful use of the English language to change lives with her melodic thoughts? I will say that if you don't know much of her work, you should take the time to read more and become inspired by her words. It is a sad thing in life that people tend to be heard more when they have passed away then when they are on earth. It's like their words ring more true from another world than they do when they are walking ours. I don't think it has to do with respect or acknowledgement, but more so the fact that people feel as though when someone has lived an entire life to the very end, their words are somehow more true? I don't think that was ever the case with Maya Angelou, as readers of every age, race, and gender, were relating to her work from the moment it was published and she was recognized countless times for her powerful gift and craft.
I know why the "Caged Bird" wrote, so that instead of being a spectator in the game of life, she could be a guide. A light in the vast sea of people for that one lost soul to follow until they find their home. Her words are as strong as her character, her thoughts as graceful as her demeanor, and her memory will be as present as her role in the lives of those who she's inspired.

If you're like me, you prefer translating straightforward Word documents. When a PDF lands in your inbox you know it'll take longer and sometimes the end result will still need fixing. Here are some tips, from one translator to another, for processing PDF files in SDL Trados Studio and making the job a bit easier.
What's a PDF and what's the difference between scanned and editable files?
PDF stands for Portable Document Format, which means that the file will display exactly the same content and layout wherever it's opened, regardless of the device and program used. That's great for the document author, but not such good news for translators.
PDF documents can be editable or scanned. Editable PDFs have text layers and can be processed in Studio 2011 onwards. Scanned PDFs are simply whole-page images without electronic text characters. They can be processed in Studio 2015 onwards because Studio incorporates an engine that carries out optical character recognition (OCR) to extract the text.
It's easy to tell the difference between the two types of PDF. Open a file in a PDF reader. You'll only be able to select, copy and paste a word or a paragraph if it's an editable PDF.
The OCR engine used for the PDF file type in SDL Trados Studio is powered by Solid Documents Technology. Since the OCR technology is dictionary based, it's available in certain languages only: Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Swedish and Turkish.
If you're faced with a PDF that looks like one of the above (both real-life examples) then I recommend dictating the source with speech recognition software in Word and then translating the Word file in Studio.
The next step is to test it in Studio. In Studio 2017, simply drop the PDF into the Welcome view.
In the next window, click Advanced.
On the left, select File Types>PDF>Converter and then click Browse to preview the file.
This gives you a quick preview of what the file will look like in the Editor window and at the same time it'll save the file in docx format in the folder where the PDF is.
Now you can decide whether to go ahead and translate it as is, or whether you want to work on the formatting and layout in the source Word file and then translate the improved Word file instead of the original PDF in Studio.
Bear in mind that the file type preview uses standard segmentation rules, not the TM segmentation settings in a project. Also, the file type preview isn't available when you add a file to a project, only when you open a file from the Welcome view, in project settings and in general options.
If you're still working with Studio 2015, you won't have the file preview feature at all. One workaround is to open the PDF in the Editor and then click Ctrl+shift+P to see and save the source file in Word.
The beauty of the Studio 2017 preview is that you can experiment with the PDF file type settings (see screenshot above) to see how the file will be processed with those settings. I usually set the Layout to Flowing. This is the most basic output you can get, but still gives correctly formatted bullet points, bold, etc.
I remove images, but you may need to keep them and convert them if possible. Headers and footers are best processed as such, although sometimes it's easier to remove them here and add them by hand in the target Word file.
The last set of options define how Studio will recognise text.
Every character is for combined PDFs (containing both editable and scanned text).
Problem characters only is for scanned PDFs (although you can also use Every character).
None is for editable PDFs.
Now go back to the list on the left. Common (below Converter) gives you all the options for settings in Word documents, including options for adding comments in the target document.
When you've finished setting up your project and are at the translation stage, watch out for typical OCR errors in the source text. "1" and "I" and "0" and "o" look very similar in some fonts (e.g., 2O December 20I6). Certain letter combinations can also be misinterpreted, especially in the case of proper names that aren't in the OCR dictionary (e.g., "Dr Tumer" instead of "Dr Turner").
Don't forget that you can edit source segments to correct errors. Not only does this improve the source text, but it will also give you better leverage from your TMs now and in the future. In the active segment, click Alt+F2 and modify the source.
Finally, when you save your target document with Shift+F12, don't worry that you can't save it as a PDF. The target file will be a Word docx format.
Translating editable PDFs is plain sailing. As mentioned earlier, you can import editable PDFs in most versions of Studio, and you'll find that Studio often does a better job of converting them to Word than if you open them in MS Word itself (this feature is available in Word 2013 onwards). Studio will insert headers and footers more reliably, preserve bold formatting better, and it doesn't add an extra space before a paragraph mark at the beginning of a line.
Despite all the advances with PDF file types, translating PDFs is still more time consuming than working with native file formats. Getting an accurate source word count is also harder. I recommend charging by the hour if possible, and if not, by the final target word count at a higher rate.
A final word of advice if you're faced with a particularly tricky PDF: ask your client for the original file. Studio handles a huge number of different file formats, so even if you don't have the native program on your computer, you'll still be able to process it in Studio.

Air conditioning is a wonderful thing, especially in summer when the weather is sweltering. What is not wonderful, is the bill. If you are not careful, air conditioning bills can really add up, a high price to pay for the luxury of a comfortable, temperate home. That is just the way things are, right? Wrong. There are ways to lower your air conditioning cost. Keep reading, and you will learn all about them.
Trees are more than just a pretty addition to the outside of your home. A fifteen-foot tree shading your air conditioner can increase the efficiency of the unit by 10%. The money you save by planting trees around your home will be made up for by the savings on your utility bill.
Metal mesh window screens are an efficient and inexpensive way to reduce the cost of air conditioning bills. They reflect a good portion of the heat before it ever gets inside your house. As a bonus, they also keep out insects who might otherwise fly right in. There are also window films which are metalized sheets that stick to your window glass. However for these to work, the windows must remain closed. A mesh window screen gives you the flexibility to leave your windows open.
Air conditioning systems need annual tune up and repair, like those offered by Gold Coast air conditioning company Deepchill. These tune-ups make sure your unit is in peak running condition and that it is clean and free of dirt or anything else that could compromise its ability to cool effectively. Technicians can clean and replace filters as well as adding more coolant if your system is low and replace any parts which might be old or broken. These repairs and checks can literally save you hundreds of dollars in the long run as well as saving you from the risk of possible damage due to malfunctioning units.
These days, air conditioning is a necessity. We need it to keep our homes and workplaces cool, but the toll air conditioning takes on your utility bill can really make you hot under the collar. But never fear. Now you have some ideas on how to keep your air conditioner on, but still manage to keep it from chomping a giant bite out of your utility budget.

A Willy Wonka prequel movie is in the works
Please leave Johnny Depp out of this one
By Jamie Carson
With the sad passing of Gene Wilder the other month, the world's imagination got a little less colourful, forcing everyone to dust off their old, dusty VHS (or most probably streaming it illegally, naughty naughty) of Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory.
And it looks like Hollywood has done the same, as it's just been announced that his most iconic role, Willy Wonka, is to get a prequel movie focusing on his early adventures.
Warner Bros. has recently acquired the rights to the story from the Roald Dahl estate, and is expected to focus on original material by Dahl. According to Variety, "the film will not be an origin tale, but a standalone movie focused on Wonka and his early adventures. It's unknown who from the original book series, other than Wonka, will be involved in the project."
The big project looks to be in safe hands too, as it's being cared for by producer David Heyman, who has worked on the Harry Potter franchise and the upcoming Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.
And novelist Simon Rich, who wrote for Saturday Night Live and worked on scripts for Inside Out and The Secret Life of Pets, is going to be taking charge of bringing the story to life.
So if it's successful, expect to see a franchise in the works, and most probably re-rebooting Charlie & the Chocolate Factory.
Which'd be great, because that Johnny Depp version was like a fiery hot poker to the eyeballs.
