How many film and music references can you spot?
With most bikes and bike parts, the boxes they arrive in are nondescript and bound straight for the recycling pile once their more exciting contents have been extracted.
Tired of this approach, Copenhagen-based bicycle brand Larry vs Harry, makers of the Bullitt cargobike, decided to make their boxes more interesting by commissioning an illustrator to create a fantasy world which was then printed on the outsides.
Illustrator Kristian Eskild Jensen dreamt up the designs for the series, incorporating well-known Danish sights and and fables. Added to the scenes are Larry vs Harry's musical heroes of yesteryear and characters from cult films.
The idea was that these boxes could then be used as artwork in children's bedrooms and to build playhouses.
"We often receive pictures from customers who have used their Bullitt boxes to build playhouses and dens for their children. If they are saving the boxes and getting inventive with them anyway, we thought it would be nice to do something unique and original with the boxes," says Larry vs Harry's owner Hans Fogh.
The result is a set of seriously beautiful designs which would look as good in a home office as they would in a kid's bedroom, although if you're anything like us, you'd end up spending more time colouring in the designs than doing any work.

Home/Blog/IT WAS A FOUL
Willy Boly's goal should never have stood
Facebook Twitter WhatsApp Share via Email
Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
Newcastle's Martin Dubravka won't be feeling particularly peachy today. He might contemplate the fact he could have done better to prevent Willy Boly's controversial equaliser for Wolves in Monday night's Premier League encounter. But, more importantly, he'll be disturbed by the one absolute truth of the matter:
IT WAS A FOUL.
Everyday goalkeeping analysis has been the bugbear of many a man between the sticks for as long as I can remember. Yet even when you think you've heard it all – even when two defenders and a striker analyse an incident involving a goalkeeper in minute detail after the game – you still find yourself shouting at the TV in disbelief.
On Sky Sports, Andy Hinchcliffe, Patrick Kluivert and Jamie Carragher all suggested Boly did no wrong in manhandling Dubravka to head home in injury time.
In co-comms, Hinchcliffe was unflinching. "The goalkeeper wasn't fouled here," he barked. "He's trying to catch it, misjudges it completely and that enables Boly to just head it home. He's under no real pressure… Why he's trying to catch it beneath his own crossbar is beyond me."
Kluivert claimed Dubravka needed to "defend himself as well". Upon looking at a replay of the incident, he added, "Here, if he jumps up, get a punch at it and jump earlier because you can jump with your hands straight and punch it out. Why do you want to catch the ball there? It's the last minute, last seconds."
For a moment it appeared Carragher, who suggested slowing the replay down made the incident look a lot worse than it actually was, might argue those respective points. "His hands are resting on top of the goalkeepers shoulders," said the ex-Liverpool man. "If we stop it there, that looks like assault. He's got his hands around his neck…"
Brilliant. Please do go on, Jamie.
"… No, it's not a foul. I think the goalkeeper has to do more."
Ah. Damned.
Unsurprisingly, a number of football fans agreed on social media. Somewhat surprisingly, however, many of them were goalkeepers. The main arguments being that Dubravka should have been stronger, that Dubravka should have opted to punch and that Dubravka should have been more assertive in commanding his area.
Should he have done better? Yes. Definitely. He could have been stronger and he could have jumped slightly earlier. Should he have punched? No. Contrary to opinion, he wasn't directly under the bar. He was a yard or so out which, under pressure, could have made tipping back over the bar a more dangerous option. Not only that, he'd have then conceded a corner in the dying moments which, had Wolves scored from, he'd have been lambasted for not catching instead.
Dubravka's confidence was such that he could claim it – and he was reliant on the fact he wouldn't be fouled.
BUT HE WAS FOULED.
Foul. #GKUnion https://t.co/EVZwXme0Zp
— Jeff Attinella (@Jeff_Attinella1) February 11, 2019
Boly also had momentum with a running jump, while Dubravka was jumping from a standing position. In that instance, it's difficult to completely protect yourself.
Carragher continued to state football is a contact sport and "you can't not touch the goalkeeper". Fair enough. But when that contact results in the ball going through a goalkeeper's hands onto the head of an opposing player, it has to be a free-kick. The reason the ball has slipped through Dubravka's palms is because he's been impeded by Boly and that has affected his vision.
Consider a similar scenario elsewhere on the pitch. A goal kick to a striker, if you will. The defender climbs over the striker to head the ball and, nine times out of ten, the referee awards a foul. Could the striker do more? Yes. He could back in, he could be stronger, he could jump higher.
BUT IT DOESN'T STOP IT FROM BEING A FOUL.
At Nottingham Forest last weekend, Brentford's Dan Bentley misjudged a punch from a corner and allowed Molla Wague to head in. The day before, Tyrone Mings outjumped Dean Henderson to spark Aston Villa's comeback against Sheffield United. Neither were fouls on the goalkeeper, because neither player impeded the goalkeeper.
Regardless of what Dubravka could have done. Regardless of whether Rafa Benitez changed his mind between talking to Sky Sports and then the press. Regardless of whether Newcastle captain Jamaal Lascelles thought his No1 made an error…
WILLY BOLY FOULED MARTIN DUBRAVKA.
The evidence, you might say, is damning.

Richard Cory
By Frank Maguire
"And Richard Cory, one calm summer night
Went home and put a bullet through his head."
Richard Cory, Edward Arlington Robinson (1919)
Back in the late '60s I was playing piano at a jazz club in Massachusetts. It was a nice spot, with a regular clientele. There was a guy who came in occasionally, always sitting at the bar by himself. He was well dressed and pleasant...a business type. He didn't drink to excess.
One night, when the club was ready to close, the fellow said to me "Frankie, I've got a great record collection of jazz standards. If you got the time, come on over to the house for coffee. I'd like you to hear some."
I didn't know the guy well and didn't think that we would have a whole lot in common, so I made up an excuse as to why I couldn't accept his offer. He just responded, quietly, "That's o.k. Maybe some other time." And he walked away.
The following night when I arrived at work, Jerry the bartender said "Hey Frankie! Remember that guy who sits at the bar by himself all the time. He was here last night...you were talking to him?" I said, "Yeh! He asked me to go over to his house and listen to some old jazz records."
"It's a shame," Jerry said. "The guy shot himself in the head last night. He's dead."
Years later, I read Edward Arlington Robinson's plaintive poem, "Richard Cory." And I remembered the guy at the club. And there came memories of other times I failed to respond with caritas to persons whose mien clearly indicated hopelessness, fear and loneliness — recurring thoughts that I would likely never again have the opportunity to exhibit the love of the Lord to that person.
A few more years passed. One day my daughter Mary Jo told me that she had gone with a friend to a meeting of recovering drug addicts. She told me that to her surprise the young woman who was the moderator was a former high school classmate. I recognized the name and envisioned her face.
Mary Jo said that this woman didn't see her in the audience. She addressed those in attendance. "Dad," Mary Jo said, "she talked about the terrible times she had as a young person, throughout high school and later. How she became involved with the drug culture. And how she had escaped."
Then, said Mary Jo, "She said that if it hadn't been for one man who treated her decently and befriended her, she might not have made it."
My daughter paused, momentarily. "Dad...that man was you." Both my daughter and I cried. And I said "Thank you my loving Lord and Savior for the gift of pain ...for giving me a heart that suffers with those who are in need."
Rachel Khoury
Frank Maguire (c) 2-09-96
When Rachel Khoury walked the mall,
No look nor single eye appraised her.
She'd learned, between attention and invisibility
Invisible was safer.
No longer was the hurt acute.
She'd knit her secret, silent world around her;
Enwrapped within her lonely heart,
No one had found her.
If one had glanced, each would have found
A heart far softer than the World's within her:
A heart that would enliven clouded eyes,
"If only she were...thinner."
Wherever Rachel Khoury turned,
N'er did an eye confirm her.
"You are not this...you are not that...you can not, will not, never.
"You've value, were you...firmer."
She seldom laughed, and never cried,
But dreamed some dream would claim her;
The World cared not her heart had fled,
Nor cared enough to blame her.
God knows, Rachel Khoury tried:
With packaged heart "For Giving."
But package failed, and lonely heart
Abandoned living.
Why do we starve the hungry hearts —
Sweet hearts, in silence pleading.
Are we but fruitless shells? Too dead to feed
That heart who's needing?

None of 20 Facebook's Libra Partners Yet Committed Any Money: BBC
None of the 21 founding members of the Libra Association, except Facebook, have yet committed any money to support Libra, according to the BBC.
$10 million investment initially required
Since the announcement of the Libra Association Council in June 2019, no financial agreement for the founding partners has been made to date, BBC reports Oct. 23, citing several unspecified sources.
Alongside the release of the Libra whitepaper in June, Facebook announced that each of the founding members was required to make a minimum investment of $10 million in order to seal the position and secure a vote on the council.
According to the BBC's sources, the members have not discussed the fee at the Libra Association's first general assembly last week. While the Libra association declined to comment on the issue, the report alleges that the project has not received any financial support from any other source than Facebook itself.
Seven partners recently left the association
The Libra Association, a non-profit consortium for governing the stablecoin project, held its inaugural meeting in Geneva on Oct. 14. Originally backed by 28 founding members, Libra has recently lost seven partners, namely PayPal, Visa, Mastercard, Stripe, eBay, Mercado Pago and Booking who decided to leave the consortium.
Subsequently, David Marcus, the head of Facebook's crypto wallet Calibra, commented that the withdrawal of the seven firms has no impact on the project.
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg will soon testify before the House of Representatives Financial Services Committee as the hearing is scheduled for today at 10:00 AM EDT.

Caller Opens Up About How Manchester United Have "Helped Me Turn My Life Around" After Mental Health Struggles
Borussia Dortmund Will No Longer Sell Players To Rivals Bayern Munich
Ryan Sidle in Football
Last updated 4:24 PM, Friday December 27 2019 GMT
In the past few years or so, Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich have been known to poach fresh, young talent from a number of their Bundesliga rivals.
From the likes of Leon Goretzka, Manuel Neuer and Niklas Sule to the more recent signing of Benjamin Pavard, the club have somewhat eliminated the competition.
But one team in particular have felt the full force of Bayern's dominance in the transfer market in recent years, title rivals Borussia Dortmund.
Image: PA
Robert Lewandowski, Mario Gotze and Mats Hummels all left the Westfalenstadion for the Allianz Arena in recent years, though the latter two both returned.
However in January BILD reported that Dortmund would no longer be authorising any moves for their players to Bayern.
It was reported that bosses at the club have 'passed an internal resolution' - there will be no more player transfers to FC Bayern in the future.

Erling Haaland's Brilliant Goal For Borussia Dortmund Against Bayern Munich Gets Slow-Mo Treatment
The move didn't help last season as Dortmund managed to throw away a points lead over their rivals in the title race and see the Munich side end up winning a seventh title in a row.
Christian Pulisic was thought to be liked by Bayern last season, when they were being linked with a host of right wingers, but the American moved to Chelsea.
That could have been a sign of things to come and with players like Jadon Sancho, Julian Brandt and Thorgan Hazard in Dortmund squad right the champions might be annoyed that they won't be able to sign any of them in the future.
However clubs obviously can't stop Germany's biggest team from signing players when their contracts run out and Schalke look likely to lose another player to their rivals.
Goalkeeper Alexander Nubel looks set to follow Manuel Neuer this summer. The 23-year-olds deal with Schalke runs out at the end of the season and he won't be signing a new contract, with Bayern becoming favourites to sign the goalie.
Bayern and Dortmund are separated by just three points again this season but they've got more competition for the league title and are currently sat in third and fourth, respectively, with RB Leipzig leading the way.

Tristan da Cunha is a 13-km-wide island volcano lying about 500 km E of the crest of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge just south of the latitudes of Buenos Aires and Cape Town. The shield volcano is bounded on most sides by high cliffs. Lava flows dominate both the low-angle base and the steep upper flanks, although pyroclastic cones ringing the central cone are scattered around the lower flanks. Eruptions have occurred from the 300-m-wide summit crater, Queen Mary's Peak, which contains a small lake, and from numerous flank vents, some of which occurred from radial fissures. Radial dike swarms are prominently exposed on all sides of the island. Numerous Strombolian cinder cones occur on the flanks along both concentric ring structures and NNW- and ENE-trending radial fissures. The only historical eruption occurred during 1961 from a north shore vent and forced the evacuation of the island's only settlement.

A lava flow extends to the sea from a small lava dome formed during the first historical eruption of Tristan da Cunha in 1961-1962. The flow is seen here from the SW with the island's only habited area, the village of Settlement (Edinburgh of the Seven Seas), in the foreground. The eruption began on October 10, 1961 and prompted the evacuation of the island's entire population to England. The eruption ended on March 15, 1962, and resettlement began in September of that year.
This pumice block, with a one-pound coin for scale, was collected from the sea surface near Tristan da Cunha on August 3, 2004. An earthquake swarm lasting 6 hours beginning on July 29, 2004 was followed by the observation of large blocks of floating pumice. The event was considered to have originated from rising magma 25 km SE of Tristan.

Кэ́трин Мати́льда (Ти́льда) Суи́нтон (, род. 5 ноября 1960, Лондон, Англия, Великобритания) — британская актриса. Призёр двух крупнейших кинофестивалей мира — Берлинского (1988, 2008) и Венецианского (1991). Лауреат премий «Оскар» и BAFTA в категории «Лучшая женская роль второго плана» в фильме «Майкл Клейтон» (2007). Известна по ролям как в независимом кино, так и в блокбастерах.

Биография

Происхождение

Тильда Суинтон происходит из древнего шотландского рода Суинтон. История её семьи насчитывает более тысячи лет. Первые упоминания о Суинтонах относятся к 886 году, когда их родоначальник Эдульф, лэрд Бамборо, присягнул на верность королю Альфреду Великому, правителю англосаксонского королевства Уэссекс. Владения Суинтонов находились в Нортумбрии и в южной Шотландии. Родовое поместье клана Киммергем —   .

Юность
Актриса родилась 5 ноября 1960 года в Лондоне в семье сэра Джона Суинтона, 7-го лэрда Киммергема, и леди Джудит Бэлфур Киллен, родом из Австралии. Детство Тильды прошло в Германии, где в чине генерал-майора британских вооружённых сил служил её отец. В возрасте 10 лет девочку отправили в закрытую школу-интернат в Кенте. Одноклассницами Тильды были дочери британской аристократии, и в том числе — леди Диана Спенсер, будущая принцесса Уэльская.

Тильда отлично училась, получая высокие оценки по основным предметам и регулярно становясь победительницей в школьных состязаниях по бегу. Однако, когда её собирались отправить на чемпионат графства, она притворилась, что растянула связки, и таким образом избежала поездки, так как предпочитала, чтобы её стимулом было ощущение победы, а не приза. Ещё будучи в школе, Тильда начала проявлять интерес к театру, принимая участие в ученических постановках. Кроме того, она пела в школьном Мадригальном хоре.

Далее Суинтон продолжила образование в другом престижном учебном заведении страны —  в столице Шотландии Эдинбурге, среди выпускников которого значатся в числе прочих премьер-министр Великобритании Тони Блэр, теоретик рекламы Дэвид Огилви и предок актрисы , чьи исследования легли в основу изобретения телевидения. После колледжа Суинтон добровольцем отправилась в Африку и пробыла там два года, работая в школах Кении и ЮАР. В тот же период, с юных лет сочувствуя левым идеям, она вступила в Коммунистическую партию Великобритании.

Роли в театре
В 1980 году Суинтон поступила в колледж Мюррей-Эдвардс — женский колледж при Кембриджском университете, — где её дисциплинами стали политология, социология и английская литература. Там она играла на сцене знаменитого студенческого театра «Кембриджские лицедеи» в постановках «Герцогиня Мальфи» по пьесе Джона Уэбстера, «Комедия ошибок» и «Сон в летнюю ночь» по пьесам Шекспира.

Проучившись в Нью-Холле до 1983 года, Суинтон присоединилась к труппе знаменитого Королевского Шекспировского театра в Стратфорде, членами которой были будущие знаменитости Гэри Олдмен, Кеннет Брана, Дэниел Дэй-Льюис, Джульет Стивенсон, Гарриет Уолтер и Фиона Шоу. Однако там Суинтон не удалось в полной мере проявить свои способности. В 1984 году она была задействована в четырёх спектаклях, но на незначительных ролях — появилась в роли Джульетты в «Мере за меру» и плебейки в «Юлии Цезаре» (оба спектакля были поставлены по пьесам Шекспира), монахини в «Дьяволах» и матери солдата в спектакле «Мамаша Кураж и её дети» по одноимённой пьесе Бертольта Брехта с Джуди Денч и Зои Уонамейкер в главных ролях.

Разочарованная Суинтон отправилась на поиски более провокационных театральных форм в Эдинбург. Там в 1985 году состоялся её дебют на сцене театра «Траверс» в постановке «Белая роза», в котором кроме неё участвовали всего два актёра. В этом спектакле о вкладе женщин в противостояние фашистам в Сталинграде Суинтон исполнила роль инженера Ирины Паспортниковой. Тогда же Суинтон познакомилась с Джоном Бирном, сорокапятилетним шотландским художником и драматургом — он оформлял декорации к постановке — за которого вышла замуж четыре года спустя.

Первые роли в кино и телевидении
Карьера Суинтон продолжала развиваться. В 1986 году она дебютировала на телевидении в фильме «Застроцци», современной интерпретации готического романа Шелли и одном из самых дорогих проектов британского телеканала Channel 4. В том же году состоялся дебют актрисы в кино — в паре с Удо Киром она снялась в картине «Эгомания: остров без надежды» режиссёра Кристофа Шлингензифа, известного своим радикальным подходом к искусству.

Далее последовала картина «Караваджо» — биографическая фантазия британского режиссёра-авангардиста Дерека Джармена на тему жизни и творчества великого итальянского живописца Микеланджело да Караваджо. В этом фильме, в котором режиссёр придаёт отношениям художника и его модели Рануччо (в его роли снялся Шон Бин) гомосексуальный оттенок, Суинтон исполнила роль Лены — любовницы Рануччо и натурщицы Караваджо. Знакомство с Джарменом стало важным этапом в формировании творческого пути актрисы. Его идеи, его отличающиеся от общепринятых взгляды на жизнь и искусство совпадали с её собственными, и потому режиссёр и актриса с лёгкостью находили общий язык. Всего Суинтон появилась в девяти проектах Джармена.

В том же 1986 году актриса приступила к съёмкам в немецком фильме «Открытая вселенная» — истории о молодом датчанине Роберте, который убивает отца и затем совокупляется с собственной матерью, роль которой и исполнила Суинтон. Режиссёром этого экспериментального триллера, представленного зрителям только в 1993 году, стал Клаус Выборны, один из операторов картины Вернера Херцога «Каждый за себя, а Бог против всех» (в прокате в США — «Загадка Каспара Хаузера»).

В 1987 году Суинтон появилась в картине «Ария» — фильме-компиляции из нескольких десятиминутных эпизодов, снятых разными авторами на тему оперы. Над фильмом работали Роберт Олтмен, Жан-Люк Годар, Кен Расселл и другие режиссёры — в том числе Джармен, в новелле которого под названием  и участвовала актриса. В том же году она снялась в фантастическом фильме «Смерть Дружбы». Действие фильма разворачивается на Ближнем Востоке во время конфликта Палестины и Иордании в 1970 году. Журналист Салливан спасает героиню Суинтон от преследования боевиков ООП, а затем узнаёт, что она — андроид по имени Дружба, много лет назад отправленная инопланетянами с миссией мира на Землю.

Не сделав пока окончательного выбора между кино и театром, в 1987 году Суинтон приняла участие в трёх театральных постановках — «Путеводитель», «Мероприятие» по пьесе Бертольта Брехта и «Человек человеку». В последнем спектакле, основанном на реальной истории, она предстала в роли женщины, которая, чтобы выжить в нацистской Германии, вынуждена скрываться под именем своего погибшего мужа.

Муза Дерека Джармена
В 1988 году, после короткометражного фильма «Степени слепоты», созданного ассистентом Джармена под впечатлением поэмы Уильяма Блейка, Суинтон снялась у самого Джармена в двухминутном видео «Вдохновение» по авангардной гомоэротичной опере современного итальянского композитора Сильвано Буссотти.

Далее последовала ещё одна работа у Джармена в фильме «На Англию прощальный взгляд». Эта апокалиптическая драма, отснятая на киноплёнку формата «8 Супер», представляла собой довольно хаотичное смешение самых разнообразных сюжетов — от королевского бракосочетания до Фолклендского конфликта, — объединённых общим мотивом размышления о судьбе нации при Маргарет Тэтчер. Суинтон появилась в сверхъестественной сцене-пародии на свадьбу принца Чарльза и леди Дианы Спенсер, где, поддавшись порыву импровизации, разорвала на себе свадебное платье.

На Берлинском кинофестивале 1988 года Суинтон получила свою первую кинонаграду — специальный приз «Тедди», вручаемый за фильмы о гомосексуальных людях.

Вскоре последовала очередная работа у Джармена. Это была отснятая в рекордно короткие сроки (три месяца) антивоенная драма «Реквием войны» (1989), визуальный ряд к оратории британского композитора Бенджамина Бриттена и поэмам Уилфреда Оуэна — британского поэта, погибшего всего за неделю до окончания Первой мировой войны. В этом проекте Суинтон исполнила роль медсестры. Образ её героини символизировал сострадание и беспомощность перед ликом войны. Помимо неё в фильме участвовали Натаниель Паркер, Шон Бин и Лоренс Оливье, для которого роль Старого солдата, перебирающего медали в инвалидном кресле, стала последним появлением на экране (в июле 1989 года он умер в возрасте восьмидесяти двух лет). Критики высоко оценили игру актёрского ансамбля в этом пронзительном и способном шокировать фильме, явившем собой яркое антивоенное высказывание.

В том же году актриса приняла участие в телефильме «Исполни мне что-нибудь» по рассказу лауреата премии Букера Джона Бёрджера. Писатель сам исполнил главную роль, сыграв таинственного незнакомца, развлекающего беседой группу пассажиров (среди которых была героиня Суинтон) в аэропорту Барры, острова в архипелаге Внешних Гебридских островов.

В 1989 году актриса завершила свою театральную карьеру, приняв напоследок участие в театральных постановках «Долгое путешествие вокруг света» и «Моцарт и Сальери» по трагедии Пушкина. В последнем спектакле она впервые предстала в образе мужчины — самого великого Моцарта. Далее, в 1990 году она появилась в роли официантки Кисси Крауч в телесериале «Твоё неверное сердце» по сценарию Джона Бирна. В том же году Тильда и Джон поженились.

Суинтон вновь появилась у Джармена в 1990 году в дерзкой провокационной драме «Сад». Режиссёр умирал от СПИДа, которым был болен уже четыре года, и это смертельное заболевание наложило тяжёлый отпечаток на его творчество и на эту картину в особенности. Съёмки проходили в импровизированном саду, засыпанном гравием, около дома Джармена в окрестностях атомной электростанции в Дандженессе, куда режиссёр переехал вскоре после того, как у него была диагностирована болезнь. Там, в этом необычном пространстве на фоне смутных очертаний электростанции, разворачивалось действие практически лишённой диалогов картины. Оно являло собой чередование сцен на тему Нового Завета и было плотно завязано на отношении церкви и общества к гомосексуальности. Искажение религиозных сюжетов в фильме граничило с богохульством — олицетворением Христа стала гомосексуальная пара, а Суинтон предстала в образе Девы Марии, которая скрывается от преследования репортёров, изображая тем самым бегство в Египет.

Появившись в 1991 году в немецком фильме «Вечеринка: Натюрморт», режиссёром которого была её подруга Синтия Беатт, Суинтон приступила к съёмкам в новом проекте Джармена — драме «ЭдуардII» по пьесе драматурга елизаветинской эпохи Кристофера Марло. Сюжет фильма был построен на истории любовных отношений короля Англии ЭдуардаII и его фаворита Пьера Гавестона. Суинтон сыграла надменную королеву Изабеллу, которая, будучи отвергнутой мужем, при поддержке суда и церкви заставила короля подписать указ об изгнании фаворита. За блестящее воплощение образа Изабеллы Суинтон получила премию Венецианского кинофестиваля как лучшая актриса 1991 года.

Следующей её работой стала роль жертвы концентрационного лагеря Эллы Герик в драме «Человек человеку» (1992), экранизации одноимённого спектакля, в котором Суинтон играла пять лет назад. Обстоятельства заставили её героиню вести жизнь под именем своего погибшего мужа Макса — она носила мужскую одежду, чернила зубы и подкладывала в штаны кроличью ногу, чтобы сделать этот трагический маскарад правдоподобным. Режиссёром ленты выступил Джон Мэйбери, художник по костюмам джарменовского «Юбилея».

«Орландо»
1992 год стал поворотным в карьере актрисы — она исполнила главную роль в фильме Салли Поттер «Орландо» по знаменитому роману-биографии Вирджинии Вулф, и эта картина стала, пожалуй, самым известным фильмом с её участием. Фильм разделён на семь смысловых частей — «Смерть», «Любовь», «Поэзия», «Политика», «Общество», «Секс» и «Рождение» — и охватывает период в . Первую половину этого срока Орландо проживает мужчиной, а вторую — женщиной.

Первая часть и история Орландо начинаются в эпоху королевы ЕлизаветыI, которая благоволит миловидному шестнадцатилетнему юноше и делает его своим фаворитом. На смертном одре она жалует ему значительное состояние, а взамен просит не увядать и оставаться вечно молодым. Вторая часть описывает историю первого сильного чувства Орландо — любви к дочери русского посла Саше, с которой он познакомился, катаясь на коньках по скованной льдом Темзе во время Великих морозов 1607 года. Но Саша предаёт чувства Орландо, и, разочаровавшись в женщинах, он удаляется в своё поместье, где засыпает беспробудным сном на целую неделю. Проснувшись, Орландо находит новое увлечение — поэзию, — и выписывает из Лондона известного поэта, чтобы побеседовать с ним об искусстве, однако тот тоже не оправдывает его ожиданий.

Расставшись с очередными иллюзиями, Орландо отправляется с посольством в Константинополь — так начинается четвёртая часть фильма. Он делает политическую карьеру, но, однажды заснув, просыпается существом иного пола. Теперь женщина, Орландо возвращается в Англию, где за время её отсутствия наступила эпоха Просвещения. Она входит в высшее общество, посещает салоны, но пресыщается и этим занятием. Покончив с обществом, Орландо знакомится с Мармадьюком Шелмердином (его роль исполнил Билли Зейн), влюбляется в него и открывает для себя секс. Уже в начале XX века Орландо становится матерью — и это становится финалом картины.

Игра актрисы — «ошеломляющая», одинаково убедительная как в облике женщины, так и мужчины — получила восторженные отзывы критиков. На Международном кинофестивале в Сиэтле Суинтон получила премию лучшей актрисы года, а сама картина была признана лучшим фильмом на Венецианском кинофестивале и получила ряд других престижных кинонаград.

Продолжение карьеры
Озвучив Офелию в мультфильме «Гамлет», Суинтон вернулась к Джармену и в 1993 году приняла участие в двух его фильмах. Первым стал «Витгенштейн», ещё одна биографическая фантазия Джармена, на сей раз — о жизни известного философа XX века Людвига Витгенштейна. Суинтон появилась там в роли леди Оттолин Моррелл, любовницы Бертрана Рассела, друга и наставника Витгенштейна во время его учёбы в Кембридже, где начали формироваться идеи будущего философа и где он впервые осознал свою гомосексуальность. Вторым фильмом стала начисто лишённая визуального ряда предсмертная лента Джармена «Blue» — за кадром на фоне синего плана звучали лишь голоса Суинтон, двух других актёров и самого режиссёра, рассказывающего о своих последних днях.

19 февраля 1994 года Джармен умер. Глубоко переживая потерю друга, Суинтон перестала сниматься (в 1994 году она появилась на съёмочной площадке лишь однажды — в экспериментальном фильме «Воспоминание о мимолётном: правдивые истории, визуальная ложь»). Она увлеклась бегами и проводила много времени, делая ставки на ипподроме.

В 1995 году Суинтон приняла участие в выставке художницы-авангардистки Корнелии Паркер, на неделю превратившись в живого экспоната — она проводила по восемь часов в день, лёжа, словно Спящая Красавица, с закрытыми глазами в стеклянном боксе. После того как актриса побывала с выставкой в Риме и снялась в видеоклипе техно-группы Orbital, состоялось её возвращение в кино — в драме 1996 года «Женская извращённость» по одноимённому феминистскому трактату Луизы Каплан. Как и прежде, Суинтон прекрасно передала характер своей героини — преуспевающего адвоката Ив Стефенс, скрывающей под маской внешнего благополучия тёмный мир своей сексуальности, насыщенный запретными эротическими фантазиями. «Женская извращённость» вошла в конкурсную программу фестиваля независимого кино Сандэнс.

В 1997 году Суинтон снялась в фантастическом фильме Линн Хершман-Лисон «Задумывая Аду» — истории о женщине, которая, используя киберпространство как машину времени, находит способ связаться с давно покойной дочерью лорда Байрона — героиней Суинтон Адой, известным математиком XIX века. В том же году актриса стала матерью, родив близнецов Ксавье и Онор, а затем, желая больше времени уделять семье, вновь сократила участие в кинопроектах до минимума и переехала с мужем и детьми из Челси на северо-восток Шотландии.

Следующее её появление на экранах произошло в 1998 году в биографическом фильме её давнего знакомого Джона Мэйбери «Любовь — это дьявол: штрихи к портрету Фрэнсиса Бэкона», в основу которого легла история взаимоотношений знаменитого художника-экспрессиониста Фрэнсиса Бэкона и его любовника Джорджа Дайера. В этом фильме Суинтон была практически неузнаваема в роли Мюриэль Белчер, владелицы лондонского паба Colony Club, завсегдатаем которого был Бэкон.

Совсем иным было появление актрисы в режиссёрском дебюте Тима Рота — психологическом триллере 1999 года «Зона военных действий» по одноимённому произведению Александра Стюарта, фильме о чудовищных взаимоотношениях между членами одной английской семьи. Суинтон исполнила роль матери, узнавшей от сына, что её муж вступил в кровосмесительную связь с их собственной дочерью.

В 2000 году Суинтон появилась в приключенческом триллере Дэнни Бойла «Пляж» с Леонардо Ди Каприо в главной роли. В этом фильме о молодом американце Ричарде, попадающем на уединённый остров, актриса исполнила роль Сэл — женщины, которая возглавляет коммуну добровольно удалившихся от цивилизации островитян.

Далее в том же году последовала работа в мистической ленте известного канадского режиссёра Робера Лепажа «Возможные миры». Фильм начинается с загадочного преступления — полиция обнаруживает труп некоего Джорджа Барбера, из черепа которого извлечены мозги. Однако Джордж вовсе не мёртв, он продолжает жить в нескольких параллельных мирах, в каждом из которых встречает в различных воплощениях героиню Суинтон, женщину по имени Джойс. По сути актриса сыграла четыре самостоятельные роли, и каждую из них исполнила с блеском.

Голливуд
После «Пляжа», снятого на деньги кинокомпании 20th Century Fox, Суинтон стали приглашать в голливудские проекты, и, если сценарии производили на неё впечатление, актриса принимала эти предложения. Первой голливудской картиной Суинтон стал фильм «На самом дне» (2001) — мистический триллер по роману Элизабет Холдинг.

Фильм повествует о женщине Маргарет Холл, которая вместе с тремя сыновьями живёт на берегу озера Тахо. Маргарет обеспокоена гомосексуальными наклонностями старшего сына, но настоящие неприятности начинаются, когда она обнаруживает около дома труп его любовника. Подозревая, что преступление мог совершить сын, Маргарет прячет тело убитого в озере, но некто узнаёт об этом поступке и начинает её шантажировать.

За роль Маргарет Суинтон была номинирована на получение ряда престижных кинонаград (в том числе на «Золотой глобус») и в итоге была награждена премиями Общества кинокритиков Бостона и Общества кинокритиков Лас-Вегаса как лучшая актриса. В том же году она сыграла эпизодическую роль в триллере Кэмерона Кроу «Ванильное небо», а через год ещё одну второстепенную роль — в фильме «Адаптация».

В 2002 году Суинтон вновь поработала с Линн Хершман-Лисон. На этот раз она приняла участие в фантастическом фильме «Техносекс», истории о биогенетике Розетте Стоун, создателе трёх своих клонов — киборгов Руби, Олив и Маринн, у которых есть одна интересная особенность: для поддержания существования им необходимо подпитываться Y-хромосомами, которые содержатся в мужской сперме. Чтобы добыть необходимую субстанцию, Руби регулярно выходит на городские улицы и соблазняет мужчин, но после секса с киборгом те просыпаются импотентами и с небольшим штрих-кодом на лбу. В этом фильме Суинтон принадлежали все четыре главные роли — и биогенетика Стоун, и трёх её клонов.

Далее актриса снялась у себя на родине в драме Дэвида Маккензи «Молодой Адам» по мотивам одноимённого романа Александра Трокки. Действие фильма разворачивается в 1950-х годах в Шотландии. Героиня Суинтон — хозяйка угольной баржи Элла Голт — живёт в унылом супружестве, пока на баржу не нанимается бродяга Джо, в прошлом писатель-неудачник. Между ним и Эллой вспыхивает страсть, но затем муж и любовник вылавливают из реки труп молодой женщины — бывшей подруги Джо, которая не покончила с собой, как казалось на первый взгляд, а была убита. Эта работа принесла Суинтон премию BAFTA за лучшую женскую роль в шотландском фильме.

В 2003 году актриса вместе с такими звёздами как Майкл Кейн и Шарлотта Рэмплинг появилась в драме «Приговор», в котором её героиня, судья Аннемари Ливи, поднимает давнее дело Пьера Броссара, пособника нацистов во Франции времён режима Виши, с намерением добиться, чтобы он ответил за совершённые 60 лет назад преступления против человечества.

После небольшого перерыва Суинтон появилась в необычном проекте — видеоинсталляции турецкого модельера Хусейна Чалаяна «Отсутствие присутствия», которая была представлена в павильоне Турции на 61-м Венецианском кинофестивале. По мнению модельера, андрогинный облик актрисы идеально подходил для его режиссёрского дебюта. 2005 год стал довольно плодотворным для Суинтон в творческом плане — она была задействована сразу в четырёх картинах. Сначала она снялась в остроумной мелодраме «Дурная привычка», сыграв роль матери семнадцатилетнего подростка Джастина, который никак не может избавиться от привычки сосать палец. Далее впервые за свою карьеру актриса появилась в крупнобюджетном голливудском проекте — в мистическом триллере «Константин: Повелитель тьмы», где её партнёром стал Киану Ривз, а Суинтон сыграла ангела Габриэль.

В 2005 году Суинтон по приглашению Джима Джармуша снялась в его фильме «Сломанные цветы» с Биллом Мюрреем в главной роли. Эта неторопливая картина начинается с момента, когда герой Мюррея, постаревший дамский угодник Дон Джонстон, получает письмо с сообщением о том, что у него есть девятнадцатилетний сын. Так как письмо было не подписано, он отправляется на поиски матери своего гипотетического сына и посещает своих былых подруг, с которыми был близок двадцать лет назад. Одну из этих женщин — Пенни — и сыграла Суинтон. Появление её героини на экране было совсем коротким — едва увидев бывшего любовника на пороге, она захлопывает перед его носом дверь.

В драме 2006 года «Стефани Дэйли» Суинтон исполнила роль судебного психолога Лидии Крейн. Лидии предстоит непростая задача — определить, была ли вменяема шестнадцатилетняя Стефани в момент убийства своего новорождённого ребёнка, преждевременно появившегося на свет, и действительно ли она до самых родов не подозревала о том, что беременна. Положение усугубляется тем, что у Лидии недавно был выкидыш, а во время расследования она сама находится на 8 месяце беременности. В январе 2006 года фильм был представлен на Sundance Film Festival и получил награду за лучший сценарий.

В 2007 году Суинтон приняла участие в съёмках первого полнометражного фильма одиозного музыканта Мэрилина Мэнсона «Фантасмагория: Видения Льюиса Кэрролла», где сам Мэнсон предстал в роли Льюиса Кэрролла. Выход этой картины был намечен на 2011 год, однако в 2010 году съёмки были остановлены. Также Суинтон появилась в драме венгерского режиссёра-авангардиста Белы Тарра «Человек из Лондона» по роману Жоржа Сименона.

В 2008 году актриса получила своего первого «Оскара» за лучшую роль второго плана в фильме «Майкл Клейтон», съёмки которого завершились ещё в 2006 году. В фильме актриса играет бизнесвумен Карен Краудер, которой приходится идти на серьёзное преступление, чтобы исправить возникшие рабочие неприятности. Краудер делает свой свободный выбор, а затем несёт за него ответственность.

В том же году Суинтон сыграла в ещё одном крупном голливудском проекте «Хроники Нарнии: Лев, колдунья и волшебный шкаф» производства студии The Walt Disney Company. В этой картине по одноимённому произведению Клайва Льюиса актриса появилась в облике злой колдуньи, погрузившей волшебную страну Нарнию в вечную зиму. Изначально предполагалось, что в этой роли будет задействована Мишель Пфайффер, но по семейным обстоятельствам актриса не смогла принять участие в фильме, и на её место пригласили Суинтон. Это был безупречный выбор — по мнению критиков, актриса была рождена для этой роли, а её внешность идеально совпадала с описанием колдуньи в первоисточнике: «Лицо у неё тоже было белое — не просто бледное, а белое, как снег, как бумага, как сахарная глазурь на пироге, а рот — ярко-красный. Красивое лицо, но надменное, холодное и суровое».

2011 год принёс Суинтон роль несчастной матери подростка-убийцы в британской драме «Что-то не так с Кевином». Её актёрская работа была в очередной раз высоко оценена кинокритиками, а за её исполнение Суинтон выдвигалась на премии «Золотой глобус» и BAFTA. Из шорт-листа «Оскара» актрису вытеснила более молодая Руни Мара. В 2012 году Тильду можно было увидеть в фильме Уэса Андерсона «Королевство полной луны».

В 2013 году Суинтон сыграла главную роль в фэнтезийной драме Джима Джармуша «Выживут только любовники». Её партнёром по картине стал Том Хиддлстон. В том же году вышли ещё два фильма при участии Суинтон: «Сквозь снег» с Крисом Эвансом и «Теорема Зеро» с Кристофом Вальцем. В 2014 году вышел кинофильм «Отель «Гранд Будапешт»» Уэса Андерсона, в котором наряду со Суинтон сыграли такие актёры, как Рэйф Файнс, Сирша Ронан, Эдриен Броуди, Джуд Лоу, Леа Сейду, Оуэн Уилсон и Билл Мюррей. Фильм был награждён несколькими кинопремиями и признан одним из 10 лучших фильмов года.

В 2015 году Тильда Суинтон сыграла в фильмах «Девушка без комплексов» и «Большой всплеск», а в 2016 году — в картинах «Да здравствует Цезарь!» Братьев Коэн и «Доктор Стрэндж». В последнем — Суинтон исполнила роль Древней, духовного наставника персонажа Бенедикта Камбербэтча.

В 2018 году вышел фильм «Суспирия», ремейк одноимённого фильма 1977 года Дарио Ардженто. Тильда Суинтон исполнила в картине сразу три роли.

В 2020 году Тильда снялась в главной роли в фильме «Человеческий голос» режиссёра Педро Альмодовара, поставленому по пьесе Жана Кокто. В 2021 году на широкие экраны вышли сразу два фильма, снятые при участии актрисы: «Французский вестник» Уэса Андерсона и «Память».

В начале сентября 2022 года в российский прокат выйдет фэнтези Джорджа Миллера «Три тысячи лет желаний» с Тильдой в главной роли. Роль джинна в картине исполнил Идрис Эльба.

USRowing is pleased to announce the final three crews that will represent the United States at the 2012 Olympic Games in London, pending final approval by the United States Olympic Committee.
PRINCETON, N.J. – USRowing is pleased to announce the final three crews that will represent the United States at the 2012 Olympic Games in London, pending final approval by the United States Olympic Committee.
The women's eight will consist of coxswain Mary Whipple (Orangevale, Calif.), Caryn Davies (Ithaca, N.Y.), Caroline Lind (Greensboro, N.C.), Eleanor Logan (Boothbay Harbor, Maine), Meghan Musnicki (Naples, N.Y.), Taylor Ritzel (Larkspur, Colo.), Erin Cafaro (Modesto, Calif.), Esther Lofgren (Newport Beach, Calif.) and Susan Francia (Abington, Pa.).
Six athletes – Whipple, Davies, Lind, Logan, Francia and Cafaro – return from the crew that won gold at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing. The U.S. women's eight is the six-time defending world champions in the event. Last month at the second 2012 World Rowing Cup in Lucerne, Switzerland, the U.S. won gold and set a new world best time (5:54.17), besting the previous world best time of 5:55.50, set by the U.S. in 2006, by more than a second.
In the women's quadruple sculls, Adrienne Martelli (University Place, Wash.), Kara Kohler (Clayton, Calif.), Megan Kalmoe (St. Croix Falls, Wis.) and Natalie Dell (Clearville, Pa.) will represent the U.S.
Kalmoe, who finished fifth in the double sculls in Beijing, won silver in the quad with Martelli and Dell at the 2011 World Rowing Championships in Bled, Slovenia. Kohler was a member of the women's four that won gold in Bled.
The men's quadruple sculls lineup consists of Alex Osborne (Sherman Oaks, Calif.), Peter Graves (Cincinnati, Ohio), Elliot Hovey (Manchester-By-The-Sea, Mass.) and Wes Piermarini (West Brookfield, Mass.).
Hovey and Piermarini return from the Beijing double sculls that finished 13th at the 2008 Olympic Games. Graves competed in the men's double sculls at last year's world championships, while Osborne was in the men's eight that finished eighth.
Selection for the women's eight and men's and women's quads was determined based on lineup evaluations, national selection regatta results and training camp performance in Princeton, N.J., and Chula Vista, Calif., under U.S. head coaches Tom Terhaar and Tim McLaren.
In total, 12 crews will represent the United States July 28-August 5 at the 2012 Olympic Games in London. For more information about important USRowing dates, the 2012 Olympic Games selection process and Olympic athlete bios, visit www.usrowing.org.


Reporters Without Borders (RSF) calls for an end to the harassment of media and journalists in Kazakhstan, where – in the past few days – the authorities have searched two independent media outlets, blocked a news website, briefly detained four journalists and confined a woman blogger to a psychiatric clinic.
This latest crackdown has come amid growing tension among the Kazakh elite about who will succeed the country's president for the past three decades, 77-year-old "Leader of the Nation" Nursultan Nazarbayev. The rivalry between various elite factions and the government's paranoia keep on having repercussions for the Kazakh media, from which the opposition media have long been purged.
Much of the equipment at the headquarters of the magazine Forbes Kazakhstan and the news website Ratel.kz was seized during raids in Almaty, the business capital, on 2 April. Access to the Ratel.kz site has been blocked and four journalists who were briefly arrested are now facing the possibility of up to five years in prison in connection with their coverage of alleged corruption involving a former minister.
The blogger, Ardak Ashim, was forcibly confined to a psychiatric clinic in the southern city of Shymkent on 31 March in connection with her popular blog posts criticizing the authorities.
Many computers, phones and files were seized in the raids on Forbes Kazakhstan and Ratel.kz. Forbes Kazakhstan deputy editor Alexander Vorotilov was arrested as were Ratel.kz editor Marat Asipov, his deputy, Sapa Mekebayev, and one of his reporters, Anna Kalashnikova.
All were released that evening after questioning. The homes of these journalists were also raided and searched, as was the apartment of Ratel.kz founder Gennady Benditsky, who died in December.
The authorities confirmed yesterday that the two media outlets were the subject of a complaint accusing them of "disseminating false news," a charge that carries a possible five-year jail sentence. It was filed by Zeinulla Kakimzhanov, a former finance minister who has been the subject of a series of articles about his alleged role in various corruption cases.
Kakimzhanov has repeatedly sued media outlets in recent years. Forbes Kazakhstan and Ratel.kz were already ordered to pay record damages of 50 million tenge (128,000 euros) in April 2017 and to delete their articles about him. The case was held behind close doors and the defendants were banned from covering it or even commenting on it on social networks. Although the journalists insisted that their stories were based on official, public records, the damages were confirmed on appeal.
As a business magazine, Forbes Kazakhstan is not regarded as particularly critical of the authorities. Ratel.kz has already been repeatedly blocked in Kazakhstan and is one of the country's most popular sites.
The latest blocking began on 30 March in response to a complaint against the editor by a local prosecutor. No one from Ratel.kz was summoned to attend the hearing at which the blocking was ordered. Ratel.kz continued to post stories on its Facebook page until that was blocked today.
The treatment of Ashim, a blogger and economist, recalls the Soviet era's worst repressive methods. She responded to a summons to report to a police station in Shymkent on 31 March and, after arriving, a police inspector notified her of a court order confining her to a psychiatric clinic, to which she was taken directly from the police station.
The authorities briefly detained Ashim and searched her home in mid-March as part of an investigation into alleged "incitement of hatred." A local judge told she was being investigated for "negative articles about the authorities" that she had reportedly posted on Facebook.
Ashim's blogging about violations of human rights and the rule of law has long been popular in the south of the country. She attracted attention at the national level in February by protesting against a proposed government tax on self-employed workers.
The leading national opposition media were all closed in Kazakhstan in 2012. It is ranked 157th out of 180 countries in RSF's 2017 World Press Freedom Index.


It is a curious fact that no edge-to-edge regular polygon tiling of the plane can include a pentagon.
Islamic ceiling tiling, Kuwait City. Retrieved under a Creative Commons license from this Flickr page.
For thousands of years architects and artists have covered floors, walls and ceilings with tilings created by gluing together many copies of a small set of regular shapes. The simplest tilings are composed of only one shape such as rectangles or diamonds. Artists have explored more complex possibilities. Muslim palaces such as the Alhambra are decorated with intricate geometric patterns formed from stars, diamonds and other complex shapes. The Dutch artist Maurits Escher formed tilings from shapes representing birds, frogs, and even angels and devils.
This website explains the basic mathematics of a particular class of tilings of the plane, those involving regular polygons such as triangles or hexagons. As will be shown, certain combinations of regular polygons cannot be extended to a full tiling of the plane without involving additional shapes, such as rhombs. The site contains some commentary on Renaissance research on this subject carried out by two renowned figures, the mathematician-astronomer Johannes Kepler and the artist Albrecht Dürer.
Imperfect Congruence requires nothing beyond high school level mathematics and gives examples of many beautiful tilings, including some that do not appear to have been published before.


It was Friday night, which means a low-stakes, live Texas Holdem cash game. After a frustrating first hour, my stack sits at about 65 big blinds.
Now the player under the gun raises to 11 BBs. For purposes of this blog, I'll call him "Derrell." Derrell is a very loose and aggressive player; I don't have a lot of history with him. This is still an unusually large opening raise for him or anyone else at this table, where initial raises have mostly been 3-6 BBs. A few hands earlier, he lost a very large chunk of his stack in a 3-way all-in, where his 2-pair was way behind a nut flush and 2nd nut flush.
I'm next, and look down at pocket aces. What should I do here?
Some players open with unusually large UTG raises with big pocket pairs like KK, QQ or JJ that become very difficult to play post-flop from out-of-position against multiple callers. They would rather just win the blinds than have to play out the hand. It's a massive bet-sizing tell, but I cannot say from experience that this tell applies to Derrell. He has shown down a couple of hands where there was no correlation between his pre-flop betting and hand strength (i.e., raising with junk!).
A re-raise, especially with the rest of the table still to act, screams massive strength. Would that make it easy for Derrell to fold? What is the weakest hand he might call with here?
My stack size is awkward. If I raise to 3x Derrell's bet, or 33 BBs, everyone else folds but Derrell calls, the pot will have 68 BBs. My 30-35 BBs remaining leaves only a half-pot sized shove for the flop.
On the other hand, if I just shove now, it's 6x Derrell's bet. Does that make me even more likely to lose my customer? If I was in a later position, especially after at least one caller, this would be more appealing.
The non-standard line here is to just call, to set a trap. Doesn't that look more like I have AK? If the flop is all low cards, he would bet again with KK, QQ, JJ or TT, or maybe total junk and shoving over his continuation bet would no longer be an overbet. If we are heads-up, calling again on any flop would also be an option.
If my call sets in motion a cascade of other calls, I'm increasing the risk of getting out-flopped by 2-pair or better. Is it worth that risk to try to position myself to win a larger pot? Each additional call increases the temptation of calling for the next player.
What would you do to maximize the value of AA here? Why?
Help me "raise" the number of followers: please like / post / share /retweet my poker blog on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram, or post a comment, and clicking the Follow button at the bottom of this page to be notified of all new posts.
Raise for value. Fancy Play Syndrome (FPS) has personally cost me far more money in these kinds of spots than I've made. Give both his position and bet size, I think he's got something like 99-QQ and doesn't really want action. Or he could have the AKo-AJo type hands, too (though you block quite a few of those combo). Regardless, I recommending raising for value.
I'd be tempted to shove here. It makes it look like you have a hand like AK, AQ and are trying to force him off something like 88-QQ. Or trying a steal. If you make a 3-4x raise you are really giving yourself pot sizing troubles and a 2x raise just screams AA to me. Ideally you want him guessing at your hand strength. Part of your problem is you have a lot of people to act after you. Of course I'm no expert and doing the opposite of me is often the better choice.
My wife the poker queen on the other hand says she would just call here. Her view is the original raise probably won't be called by many people because of its size. Also if a few people call there is always the chance a big stack tries to squeeze everyone and you can go all in then. She thinks I'm wrong and the best way to maximize your return is to play it coy. She's probably right.

100 GREAT SONGS FROM THE BRITISH INVASION: 'HERE COMES THE NIGHT'- THEM
Sunday, 5 September 2021 · by hanspostcard	· in American Top 40, Entertainment, Music, Music Videos, Pop Music, Radio, Rock Music.	·
100 Great Songs From The British Invasion 1963-66- 'Here Comes The Night'- Them. The first sighting of the great Van 'The Man' Morrison in the US- came with this single by Them- which featured Van as the front man. The single reached #24 in the Billboard Hot 100 and #2 in the UK and in Ireland. The band was formed in Belfast, Northern Ireland in the spring of 1964. They would release two albums by the time Van left to a solo career. 'Here Comes The Night' was written by Bert Berns- Them's producer. It was first released as a single by Lulu- but it flopped- #50 in the UK and it failed to chart in the US. Jimmy Page played guitar and Andy White was on the drums- Beatlemaniacs will know the name of Andy White- he played drums on The Beatles recording of 'Love Me Do'- sitting in for Ringo [which probably pisses Ringo off to this day.] 'Here Comes The Night' remains the highest charting song in the UK and in Ireland for Van Morrison -he's never had a #1 in either country. Van's biggest hit in the US- #9 'Domino' 1970.
Single: 'Here Comes The Night'- Them/ Written by Bert Berns/ Recorded October 1964/ Time: 2:44/ Produced by Bert Berns/ Released on March 5, 1965/ Peaked at #24 in US Billboard Hot 100, #2 in UK Singles Chart.

This song drew me to Them more than any other.
Phil Strawn Sunday, 5 September 2021 at 11:36 pm · ·
A great song to be sure. Gloria would be their second great hit. Try finding genius like this in the bands of today. It's not there.

The original THEM album that had the sticker on the cover of Here Comes The Night is an indelible and serious top 10 favorite of all time. Every track was solid and somehow represented all of the British Invasion bands energy and thrilling sound. Love this album dearly and it still registers as a viable contender to anything released by anyone, ever – really. A stone groove. Amd Van's the Man.

If Van hadn't done a thing after THEM- he would still have a big place in the history of rock music.

I still listen to old Them. A lot.

Q: How to verify that method was NOT called in Moq? How do I verify that method was NOT called in Moq?
Does it have something like AssertWasNotCalled?
UPDATE: Starting from Version 3.0, a new syntax can be used:
mock.Verify(foo => foo.Execute("ping"), Times.Never());

A: Run a verify after the test with the Times.Never() option.
_mock.Object.DoSomething()
_mock.Verify(service => service.ShouldntBeCalled(), Times.Never());

A: Stolen from: John Foster's answer to the question, "Need help to understand Moq better"

One of the things that you might want to test is that the pay method
does not get called when a person aged over 65 is passed into the
method
[Test]
public void Someone_over_65_does_not_pay_a_pension_contribution() {

    var mockPensionService = new Mock<IPensionService>();

    var person = new Person("test", 66);

    var calc = new PensionCalculator(mockPensionService.Object);

    calc.PayPensionContribution(person);

    mockPensionService.Verify(ps => ps.Pay(It.IsAny<decimal>()), Times.Never);
}

A: Using VerifyNoOtherCalls (requires Moq 4.8 or later)
This answer is an indirect approach.  Instead of checking that a particular method wasn't called, you check that no unexpected calls were made in general.
Consider that a thorough test of a mock does 2 things:

*

*Verify that all expected calls were made

*Verify that no unexpected calls were made

If you're already doing step 1, adding step 2 is trivial:
// Step 1 (if relevant - see note below)
mock.Verify(..., Times.Exactly(2));
mock.Verify(..., Times.Once());
// ...

// Step 2
mock.VerifyNoOtherCalls();

Notes

*

*If you omit step 1, step 2 will simply ensure no calls were made to the mock at all.

*This does not require a strict mock.

*Source: Moq Quickstart

A: UPDATE: Since version 3, check the update to the question above or Dann's answer below.
Either, make your mock strict so it will fail if you call a method for which you don't have an expect
new Mock<IMoq>(MockBehavior.Strict)

Or, if you want your mock to be loose, use the .Throws( Exception )
var m = new Mock<IMoq>(MockBehavior.Loose);
m.Expect(a => a.moo()).Throws(new Exception("Shouldn't be called."));

A:
This does not work in recent versions of Moq (since at least 3.1), it should be specified in the Verify method as mentioned in the
  answer.

Actually, it's better to specify .AtMost(0) after the Returns statement.
var m = new Mock<ISomething>();
m.Expect(x => x.Forbidden()).Returns("foo").AtMost(0);

Although the "throws" also works, AtMost(0) is more expressive IMHO.

A: I realise this is a very old question, but it just appeared in my sidebar, and I'd like to add my solution.
Many unit tests appear to mock several functions, as part of the setup, but then aren't used during the test.
Surely it's better to enable strict mocking (which means anything not explicitly setup will throw an exception), and then don't set up any functions you don't expect to be called.  Or to put it another way, only set up the functions that one test expects to be called, and anything else will thrown an exception.
var thingBeingTested = new Mock<IThink>(MockBehaviour.Strict);

thingBeingTested.ThisWillThrowAnExceptionBecauseItHasNotBeenMocked();

A: Suppose you have this method and you want to test that it's not being called
//Setup
var databaseSessionMock = new Mock<IDatabaseSession>();
databaseSessionMock.Setup(m => m.Commit()).Returns(true).Verifiable();
RepositoryFactory.Configure<IDatabaseSession>(databaseSessionMock.Object);

you can test like this
databaseSessionMock.Verify(m => m.Commit(It.IsAny()), Times.Never(), "Database Session mock object was not used");

A: Use .AtMostOnce();
After the real test, call the method again. If it throws an exception, it was called.

Former Georgia Cop Who Lied About Black Man Shooting Her Sentenced to 15 Years in Prison
By Jeremy Jones @GAFollowers · On October 9, 2018
A police officer in Georgia has been sentenced to 15 years in prison for falsely claiming in 2016 she had been shot at by a black man, officials said.
On Sept. 13, 2016, Sherry Hall, then a cop with the Jackson Police Department, said she had been shot by a 6-foot, 230-pound African American man wearing a green shirt and black jogging pants, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.
Hall said the shooting was unprovoked and that when she realized she was shot, she took cover behind her patrol car and fired two rounds in response.
A bullet was found lodged in her protective vest, authorities said.
Officers responded to Hall's radio calls for help in droves, swarming the wooded cul-de-sac and then Butts County at large in search of the suspect.
For days, police searched for the man who shot Hall, and at one point, investigators even questioned a man resembling the suspect's description.
But eventually, officials said they noticed holes in Hall's account of what happened. Hall's squad car's video system was recording during the incident and only picked up two shots being fired, not three, Assistant District Attorney James Moss told the Journal-Constitution.
Though three shell casings were found at the scene, the two found near Hall's car matched her gun and the one found in the woods where she said the shooter was actually matched a department-issued backup firearm, Moss said.
Hall also inconsistently described the alleged shooter.
No one has been able to confirm what happened that night, or how a bullet became lodged in Hall's vest.
Some believe Hall, who at the time had been working for the Jackson Police Department for three months, may have fabricated the incident to improve her standing within the department, or to establish an incident to get disability payments for post-traumatic stress disorder, according to the Journal-Constitution.
"I couldn't prove what the motive was," Moss told the paper. "But I could prove that what she said was a big bucket full of malarkey."
Hall's account of what happened also stoked fears in the community, coming after a number of shootings of law enforcement thought to have occurred in retaliation of police shootings of black individuals.
"We didn't need an uprising," Jackson Police Chief James Morgan told the Journal-Constitution, calling Hall's claims a "conscious decision and a choreographed act."
"We didn't want any racial tensions. This put a dim view on our department. But we rebounded. It defused pretty quickly."
Hall, 43, was convicted of 11 criminal charges, including making false statements, violating her oath and tampering with evidence.
She was sentenced to 15 years in prison and 23 years on probation. Hall will serve her time at Arrendale State Prison in Alto. Her conviction and sentencing comes after she rejected a plea deal that included five years in prison and five years' probation.
"She's scared to death of prison," Hall's brother, Steve Weaver, told the paper. "She wanted to take a plea, but not one that included prison time. She thought spending 90 days in jail before posting bond was enough."
Kimberly Berry, who represented Hall at trial, told the Journal-Constitution her client was suffering from severe emotional distress at the time of the incident and that she checked into a mental health facility the day after.
"She was basically having a nervous breakdown," Berry said. "I think Sherry, to this day, doesn't know exactly what happened."

We are motorcycle enthusiasts! We want to share our passion with everyone – give them the ride we love. We looked high and low to find something that would make the ride comfortable for both you and your passenger.
But, we couldn't find anything comfortable for both. Most products in the market rely on the support of the driver or modifications to the motorcycle.
We wanted to make something that is safe and comfortable for both you and your passenger, that doesn't rely on your body as support, and that you could use when you need and remove when you don't. So, our team invented Cycle Handles and transformed the motorcycle ride for two.
I hope that Cycle Handles help you safely share your love of the ride with your friends and family!
