'Just leave our country': MSNBC host unleashes explosive rant against 'unworthy' Trump supporters
'Just leave our country': MSNBC host unleashes explosive rant against 'unworthy' Trump supporters
May 22, 2021 | Jon Dougherty | Print Article
MSNBC "Morning Joe" co-host Joe Scarborough went on a tirade Friday against supporters of former President Donald Trump in regards to an ongoing audit of ballots in Arizona initiated by state Senate Republicans, telling them to "get the hell out" so they can be replaced by more patriotic migrants.
"If you believe" that the election results in Arizona may have been fraudulent or otherwise tainted, Scarborough began, his voice raised, "I will say to you what many of you said in the 1960s — America, love it or leave it.
"If you don't have respect in American democracy anymore, if you don't respect Madisonian checks and balances, if your guy doesn't win — if that's the new rules of engagement for this great republic," Scarborough shouted at the camera, "then just leave our country. Because you're unworthy of it."

With voice still raised, the MSNBC host and former GOP lawmaker from Florida claimed "there are millions of immigrants who will come here and raise their right hand and buy into the creed and believe that we are exceptional, that believe that American democracy is the greatest government on the face of the earth."
He went on to say immigrants would do so "proudly" and "salute the flag proudly" as well.
"Most importantly, they will fight for what that flag represents while you shame yourself," Scarborough continued, still shouting. "While you disgrace yourself. While you disgrace our country in the eyes of the world. Yes, this is all on you.
"Get the facts!" he added angrily. "Live in the light. Follow the truth. And love this country. And stop this. Or leave."
"Or leave," he repeated, his voice lowering. "If you're going to believe a reality TV host's lies about the American republic…its desecration of American exceptionalism…then just get the hell out. We don't want ya here."
Scarborough's tirade comes as Arizona Senate Republicans continue to lead an audit into 2.1 million ballots cast in Maricopa County, the state's largest that encompasses Phoenix, amid allegations of potential vote fraud. Democrats have thrown up every obstacle possible including lawsuits in order to stop the process. The county Board of Supervisors has also blocked or slowed efforts, according to investigative journalist Sharyl Attkisson.
As for Scarborough, he was reminded by a number of social media users of his previous endorsement of false or misleading information regarding Trump, including the widely discredited claim that the former president 'colluded' with Russian President Vladimir Putin to influence the outcome of the 2016 election.
"Two things, Joe: 1) You're the same people who claimed for 3 years that Trump colluded with Russia to steal the 2016 election. 2) Why are you so afraid of audits if this was supposedly the most secure election in history?" one user wrote.

Other Twitter users agreed:
F*** off, Joe. Why do these people care so damn much about voting machines, vaccines and voter IDs? If the left were fairly relaxed about it, it wouldn't be so suspect. But their rage and fanaticism screams 'where there's smoke, there's fire'…

I'm still confused why making sure votes were counted correctly is undemocratic. Isn't the functional part of a democracy the voting part?

Dude needs some introspection… he could be talking about his and his party's conduct over past 4 years.

Scarborough also falsely accused Trump of withholding arms from Ukraine as a sort of 'quid pro quo' until the country's leaders agreed to investigate corruption allegations involving Joe and Hunter Biden, while at the same time implicating then-U.S. Attorney General William Barr.
The Office of Management and Budget determined that Trump had done nothing wrong and that the money was dispersed to Ukraine in a timely manner.

Winnie-the-Pooh is not only a children's book, not exactly, though it should be read to and by every child. It wasn't read to or by me as a child, but I found it later anyway, and have never let go of it since.
Pooh, as you know or might have heard, is a bear formally known as Edward Bear, but nicknamed by his friend Christopher Robin. He lives with his other friends Rabbit, Piglet, Eeyore, Kanga and her baby Roo in the Hundred Acre Wood.
"You'll love it," said Piglet.
"You must listen very carefully," said Rabbit.
"So as not to miss any of it," said Piglet.
"Oh, yes," said Kanga, but she still looked at Baby Roo.
"How did it go, Pooh?" said Rabbit.
Pooh gave a little cough and began.
That these are whose–but whose are these?
Note to English and philosophy professors: Shakespeare is great, but if you are not including A.A. Milne and his Pooh books in your syllabus, you are shortchanging your students. As for philosophy, "what is which and which is what?" and "who is what and what is who?" are questions that could take up a full semester, if not a lifetime.
Note to parents and children of all ages: If you are not reading Pooh to your kids or you haven't read the book yourself, just do it.
Note to lovers: This may not seem like very romantic literature. But it contains the sort of sweet nonsensical silliness that love, stripped down to its unserious basics, is all about.
WARNING TO ALL: The Disney version of Pooh is known and beloved by many, maybe including you. Sweet Christopher Robin and Pooh would never say unkind or harsh things, such as saying that the Disney version completely misses everything wonderful about the Pooh books and characters, and that it might be deemed a creative desecration. They would never say anything like that.
George Zimmerman: Not Guilty. Responsible? Sorry?
It's easy to see how we've come to confuse the legal and the moral. Here and everywhere, laws are put in place that offend a general or specific sense of what is right, so we tend to connect the two. We're also so used to seeing the legal system in media that it occupies a lot of our thinking. Even though those movies and shows try to include moral dilemmas for lawyers and clients, it's the law that intrigues and entertains us. We have not yet had a hit television show featuring a team of super-attractive philosophers hammering out the fine points of moral right and wrong.
George Zimmerman is not guilty, at least of the crimes charged in Florida. We are awaiting possible federal civil rights charges or a wrongful death civil lawsuit. But we have no official moral court, and so we can consider where he might stand before that bench.
Every minute, people around the world, people you know, maybe even you, cross some pretty bright moral lines, and we don't put them in jail. Not that they don't deserve to somehow be punished, but the legal system doesn't fit the deed, and anyway, our prison overcrowding would be exponentially more critical.
George Zimmerman killed Trayvon Martin. It is an unrefuted, admitted fact. The legal system, in its first but maybe not last swipe at the situation, has found him not guilty of a particular crime. For the record, for those who think the justice system failed, be aware that it was never enough for the jury to believe that Zimmerman was a liar and that his version of the scenario made no sense at all. The jury could only convict on the basis of another, more damning scenario—a scenario many of us could easily imagine, but a scenario the prosecution could never paint from the evidence they had to work with. The jury is allowed to draw inferences but can't just use their imagination the way we can.
George Zimmerman killed Trayvon Martin, and many of us have come to the reasonable, non-legal conclusion about how it happened. People who reach that conclusion want him to be punished, not just for retribution, but to prevent something like this every happening again. Even if further legal proceedings don't end up punishing him, many have the clear sense that he crossed a moral line and he was very wrong. That's something that gets lost in all the fascinating legal discussion. You don't have to be guilty to be wrong. And ever if there isn't some sort of moral jail, that is still a big deal.
George Zimmerman should apologize to Trayvon Martin's family. Fully and sincerely. In legal terms, he can't, of course, since there are still proceedings possible or likely. In moral terms, though, experts say that the need to confess is the best friend of police and prosecutors, because truth is a heavy weight that needs lifting. He is actually half-way to a confession anyway, since we know he shot Trayvon Martin. He doesn't even have to detail the circumstances in any way different than he has, even if it's not true.
All he has to say is this: I shot him I killed him. Whatever the law says, I was wrong. I'm sorry.
Adam Levine is a popular musical artist with Maroon 5 and a coach on NBC's singing competition The Voice.
Last night was an elimination round for two of the remaining eight contestants. Each of the four coaches (including Shakira, Usher and Blake Shelton) has members of their respective teams in the competition.
After the typical tense triage, three contestants remained. Only one would survive. Of those, two were from Team Adam, and one was a talented singer named Judith Hill. She may not have been destined to win, but she was a solid performer who had already had a career as a backup singer for Michael Jackson, and might yet get a chance on her own. The two other singers remaining were not in her league.
Meaning, one presumes: I hate these stupid popularity contests, even one that I am a part of, where merit matters less than the judgment of numbers and the crowd. I don't hate America, but I hate it when America speaks like this.
And then, Judith Hill was gone.
Every one of the artist-coaches has built a successful career, and knows that entertainment, like every other field, is not entirely a meritocracy. Still, even accounting for differences in taste, a few minutes of singing can reveal those with consistent control, those who can find and hit all the notes, those who can put power and style in what they sing—and those who can't.
So Adam, and everybody else who gets frustrated by singing competitions that don't always give us the best, or political systems that don't either, embrace your frustration. At least it means that you haven't given up, that you still have standards, that you still have hope and expectations that the competitions and elections will give us winners who really can sing—even if we lose some worthy ones along the way.
The New Year finally begins. It is Opening Day for Major League Baseball.
If baseball has somehow been eclipsed, it may be symptomatic. Whatever it is that has made football more popular than baseball might not be such a good thing. There are tomes by eminent scholars written about this. The time element alone is telling. Those leaning towards short attention spans and busy lives like football because something is always happening and it is time-constrained by a clock. For non-baseball fans, there are long stretches where nothing seems to be going on in a baseball game, except most of the players just standing around. Games can theoretically go on forever, and sometimes they seem to, exceeding five hours. Once again the chorus asks: Who are you kidding?
Baseball and football are the two most popular spectator sports in this country. And as such, it seems they ought to be able to tell us something about ourselves and our values.
Football is a twentieth-century technological struggle….
In baseball you wear a cap….
In baseball the object is to go home! And to be safe! I hope I'll be safe at home!
There are dozens of books containing art, poetry and writing about baseball. The other sports may have some, but not of the quantity or the caliber of these. As pointed out before, and it will be pointed out again, for a brief moment in the late 1980s, cut tragically short by illness, A. Bartlett Giamatti was the Commissioner of Major League Baseball. Bart Giamatti was the President of Yale University, a professor of literature, and a writer of note. When and only when the NFL, NBA, NHL, or any other sports league decides to appoint a person of equal credentials as their commissioner, then and only then will it be worth having a conversation about the big picture relative merits.
Bart Giamatti also wrote the quintessential essay about baseball. The Green Fields of the Mind is written not about Opening Day, but about the last day of the season for his beloved Boston Red Sox in 1977. He didn't live to see that one of baseball's most hapless teams would go on to become a championship powerhouse years later.
That's another reason we love baseball and are happy it is Opening Day again.

Mizzou in the Pros
Drew Lock's NFL career will tell us a lot about Barry Odom's tenure
The Tiger gunslinger looked solid in his NFL debut, leading fans to wonder how his college years could've been different.

One game into his career as an NFL quarterback, Drew Lock experienced something he only saw twice in three years at the University of Missouri: a game-winning drive.
The Golden Boy looked solid in his debut for the Broncos, displaying the athletic prowess and arm strength that Missouri fans got used to from 2016 to 2018. A questionably conservative playbook held back his overall numbers, but something tells me Lock will take the win — the Broncos kicked a last-second field goal after a deep shot to Courtland Sutton drew a DPI call.
Lock's triumph in Denver was slightly poetic considering the events of the previous day. With the news of Barry Odom's sacking still freshly in the air, the most notable player from his tenure as Missouri's head coach went out and secured a hard-fought win.
No one but Odom can know how the game made him feel, if he watched at all. Something tells me, though, that it brought a smile to his face.
As time passes and the Barry Odom era at Mizzou becomes a distant memory, Tiger fans will take stock of the last four years and likely remember bigger storylines rather than individual performances. They'll remember the winning streaks of 2017 and 2018 and the losing streak that doomed Odom in 2019. They'll remember the in-game mistakes that marked a handful of almost-wins. They'll remember the slow starts, the bye week woes and maybe, if they're feeling generous, 2018's upset win over Florida that put an end (for a short time at least) to the "Fire Odom" brigade.
They'll also undoubtedly remember Drew Lock, the quarterback who will continually define the Barry Odom era in news as his NFL career progresses.
While at Missouri, it felt that Lock was almost synonymous with Odom. Both were Missouri legacies meant to usher in the next great era of Tiger football. Both had their successes and their failures. For every moment of progress, there was a quick regression. Even in their best times (think 2018), there was a feeling of emptiness, the bittersweet pang of "yeah, but..." infecting everything that came directly before.
The 2019 season, though, offered an interesting retrospective on the Lock-Odom partnership. Brandon Kiley nailed it back in November: "Lock was always going to be compared to Chase Daniel, no matter how unfair the comparison was... So of course Lock fell short of those expectations. But, what's that saying, if you shoot for the moon, you just might hit the stars? Lock's legacy should certainly be that of stardom in Columbia."
While Lock certainly didn't touch the sky in Columbia, it's still up for debate as to why. Did three offensive coordinators in three years stunt his growth? That was sort of an unavoidable happenstance. Pinkel's resignation led to Heupel's hiring, and Heupel's success led to the need for Dooley.
Maybe there's truth to the criticism, then, that Odom didn't coordinate his style of play all that well. Heupel's high-flying offense was one of the nation's best in 2016 and 2017, but the unit's inability to manage the clock often hung the defense out to dry and left Lock as little more than a one-dimensional threat. What point is there in developing the QB when you can always just throw the ball 70 yards to Emanuel Hall?
Or maybe, and this is the most simple way of looking at it, Lock fell victim to the general lack of player development that has plagued the Tigers under Barry Odom. It's not a perfect argument — Lock certainly got better as his college career progressed. But Lock was a gunslinging NFL prospect out of high school. Sure he got bigger and stronger in the ensuing four years, but can we really say Odom and his staff added another dimension to his game?
Lock's NFL career will hopefully give us some answers. While no one is arguing that the Broncos are a haven for QB development, it will be fascinating to see how Lee's Summit's pride grows under professional tutelage. What if the high-powered arm and marksman's vision could be combined with pinpoint accuracy and machine-like efficiency? The combination is enough to make you drool and, if you're a Tiger fan, maybe even cry. Maybe.
At the moment no one feels like looking back, and that's understandable. Why would you when there's so much to look forward to? In the next few weeks we'll be talking about Missouri's next head coach and the promise of a fresh start. Drew Lock will be preparing for the home stretch of his rookie season. Hell, even Barry Odom will likely be lining up interviews for his next gig.
But if we want to have an evolving perspective on the Barry Odom years, we should look no further than the continued development of Drew Lock in the National Football League. Lock may always be a high-ceiling-low-floor type of QB, and maybe that'll tell us that Odom did his best with a pro prospect behind center.
Or maybe Lock will turn into a multi-dimensional threat for the Denver Broncos. I suspect that would tell us all we need to know about Odom's time in Columbia.

The benefits for math/science achievement for those in an all-girls' high school such as the Academy is confirmed in studies and in the high percentage of Academy graduates who pursue STEM (science, technology, engineering, or math) related college majors. Nearly 50% of Academy graduates over the past five years have entered college in STEM majors, in contrast to the 15% national average for girls. At the Academy, girls develop a can-do, no-limits approach to math education.
While the state standards require three years of math the Academy requires students to complete four years of math, since many colleges encourage students to complete four years. Some students choose to take five or more courses of high school math over their four years at the Academy.
Our energetic and empowering approach to mathematics and science, with real-world applications, makes all the difference for girls. The Academy provides many options for accelerating mathematics studies, while ensuring students are challenged and supported at their level of individual readiness.
We want our students to see that mathematics can help them better understand and describe the world around them. There are real-life applications in every level of math. We encourage our students to discover them.
See Course Description Booklet and Virtual High School for more information about course options.
Every day we are driven to ignite the spark for learning. It is amazing to watch our students eyes light up with confidence as they make the connections to the real world through math. Our love for math is contagious! Many of our students continue on and choose careers in math and science.

The Texas-based supply chain distributor McLane Foodservice Inc. plans to bring about 240 jobs to an industrial site being developed near Denver International Airport.
McLane is building a 250,000-square-foot operation in the Nexus at DIA site under development in Commerce City, developers announced Wednesday.
Another undisclosed company plans to build an even larger, 800,000-square-foot multi-tenant building on the site near Peña Boulevard and Tower Road, The Schuck Corp. chairman Steve Schuck said.
Schuck Communities, an affiliate of the Colorado Springs-based Schuck Corp., and Littleton-based C H Thompson Co. have invested more than $300 million in the 250-acre Nexus site during the last two years.
The developers are adding streets and infrastructure to the site to get the area shovel ready for companies or developers looking to build.
"There's an enormous amount of infrastructure work to be done still, but the demand for property is so great McLane decided to purchase its property and build simultaneously with our building infrastructure," Schuck said.
The undisclosed real estate company has a similar agreement with the developers.
The Denver metro's booming economy and proximity to DIA are helping drive industrial development and sales near the airport, Schuck said. "We're a less expensive, low-cost alternative to other sites in the area."
So far, about 120 acres have been purchased within the site, Schuck said. Mclane purchased 20 acres. The undisclosed company purchased about 40 acres.

Comic-Con: Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Emily Blunt, and Director Rian Johnson Talk LOOPER and Turning Gordon-Levitt Into Bruce Willis with Prosthetics
by Christina Radish July 14, 2012
While at Comic-Con for a big presentation in Hall H, writer/director Rian Johnson (Brick), along with co-stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Emily Blunt, spoke to the press at a conference for their highly anticipated sci-fi film Looper. In 2072, when the mob wants to get rid of someone, the target is sent 30 years into the past, where a hired gun, such as Joe (Gordon-Levitt), waits to take them out. But, when Joe's future self (Bruce Willis) is sent back in time as an assignment, he decides to let him go.
During this interview, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Emily Blunt and Rian Johnson talked about layering the performance between Gordon-Levitt and Bruce Willis, the complex themes of the film, finding great female characters, and what's so appealing about the action genre. Gordon-Levitt also talked about his new-found appreciation for how difficult it is to direct a film (he just finished his first feature as a director, called Don Jon's Addiction), how grateful he is that filmmakers gave him a chance when Third Rock From the Sun ended its TV run, and how everyone reacted when they saw him with the prosthetics he wore to transform into Bruce Willis. Check out what they had to say after the jump. Also, check out our recap of the Looper Comic-Con panel.
Question: Rian, did you always have Joe in mind, when you were developing this movie?
RIAN JOHNSON: Yeah, I wrote the part for Joe. I wrote the script with Joe in mind. We had stayed friends, since we made Brick together, and we had just both been dying to work with each other again. Thank god, he said yes.
JOSEPH GORDON-LEVITT: It's worth adding that that's a real honor. That's never happened for me before – that a writer wrote something for me. It is really exciting, especially coming from [Rian].
Joe, what did you study or do, to play a younger Bruce Willis?
GORDON-LEVITT: I think the thing I focused on most was his voice. I find the voice is what I look for, first and foremost, with just about every character that I play. I don't have an answer, as to why. And Bruce was really accommodating and open and collaborative, in helping me do that. He actually recorded himself reading some of my voice-over lines, so that I could hear how he would sound saying them, which I thought was really cool. But mostly, it was just about hanging out with him, getting to know him, having dinner with him, and talking about music or anything else. That was probably what was the most useful, in trying to get a sense of what I was then going to portray.
Emily, are you a science nerd, at all?
EMILY BLUNT: I'm definitely not a science nerd. That was not my forte at school. It's funny, I read about 30 pages of the script, and I was already on the phone to my agent. I hadn't even gotten to my character and I was like, "Get me this movie!," because I loved it so much. And then, I read it a few times before I met Rian, so I could have some kind of fairly intelligent pitch for why I wanted to do the movie because it's so rich in complexity, and conceptually it's so exciting. I needed a few reads of it, for sure.
Why did you love the character so much?
BLUNT: Well, to be honest, I think it's the same for a lot of actresses. You look for female roles that aren't objectified, that aren't simplified, and that aren't simply the reactionary role to a fantastic male role. I think that it's harder to find that, in these more sci-fi movies, but this had such a singular voice. This character had a really rich past, for me to delve into. She's a really tough cookie, and a tough nut to crack. I enjoyed the nuances and the complexity of the part. It was a challenge to me because I do look for that now. I try and mix it up, as much as possible. I really asked myself, "Oh, my god, how am I going to do this?" That's what I aspire to, every time I take on a new role.
Joe and Emily, if you could go back in the past, like in the movie, is there an event in your life that you would like to erase?
GORDON-LEVITT: The answer is no, I would not want to erase anything.
BLUNT: I'm going to agree with [Joe]. It's very hard to pinpoint something because then that would have a ripple effect to everything else. Things happen in the way they usually should. I'm a pretty fatalistic person.
Joe, it seems like you're in an action movie phase of your career. Is that a genre that appeals to you, and was it overwhelming to do so many action films in a row?
GORDON-LEVITT: Well, there was 50/50, which has some pretty thrilling action sequences as well. No. I have a pretty eclectic taste in the movies that I like to watch, and also in the movies that I'm inspired to work on. I don't think action for action's sake is so fun, but when it helps tell the story, I love doing a good fight scene. Some of my favorite fight scenes that I've ever done are actually in Brick, which had no money, but was just really cleverly thought through and executed by Rian. I also had a great time doing the action on Looper. I think the action sequences are really fun to watch.
Rian, the theme of this film, about getting rid of the deviants and bad people in the world, is really interesting. What about that interests you so much?
JOHNSON: Part of the pleasure of science fiction, in general, and time travel movies, specifically, always seems to come back to the big moral questions of, "Would you kill Hitler?" They're very good at making you confront questions like that. So, I guess my answer to that would be the movie itself. I can't articulate my answer better, about some of those moral questions, then I did in the movie.
GORDON-LEVITT: I think violence begets violence. I don't think a way to solve any sort of conflict is with violence because nothing ever ends up solved, that way.
JOHNSON: A big part of the movie is the notion that, in many ways, the movie is about this thing you see in action movies, that you can solve a problem by finding the right person and killing them. The very title of the movie – Looper – is the notion that that thinking creates a self-perpetuating loop, and what can we do as human beings to break that. This sounds very highfalutin, but these are some of the things that we wrestle with a little bit, in the movie.
Emily, did you draw on anything from The Adjustment Bureau for this performance?
BLUNT: I feel like The Adjustment Bureau is a very different movie and was a different experience, so I wouldn't necessarily say that I drew anything from that to work on this. The characters were vastly different. I usually start from the person I'm playing, and not the concept. But, I do feel that, even though I didn't grow up being a big sci-fi, comic book or superhero fan, I definitely gravitated towards these movies that have a high concept, and yet they're giving you a moral dilemma within that. I think it's interesting to see real people contend with a very high concept. That's what I'm drawn to.
Emily and Joe, what was the one question each of you had, after reading the screenplay?
BLUNT: When I first met Rian, one of the first things that we talked about, because my character has a certain amount of mystique and ambiguity to her, was the backstory and where she came from and why she behaves in the way that she does. That stuff is the first interest to me, when I take on a part.
GORDON-LEVITT: I think this might sound really typical and actor-y, but the first thing I remember asking about was, "How did he grow up?" Because his situation in his present life is very well-illustrated in the screenplay itself, and he does talk a bit about his past, I remember wanting to get a better sense of who he is and where he comes from and what his life was like before we meet him.
Joe, what were the differences in working with Rian Johnson with Brick and with Looper? How has he changed, as a filmmaker?
GORDON-LEVITT: Good question. I think everything was just easier. He had quite a confident hand, directing Brick. I've seen a lot of the shorts that he made proceeding Brick, that allowed him to do that. After Brick, and after The Brothers Bloom, and now doing Looper, I was working with a seasoned filmmaker. I'm an enormous fan of his. I think that this movie is the one on which he had the lightest touch, which isn't to say that he was, in any way, uninvolved or aloof. It's like judo. If you know which way the current is going, you can use it to your advantage. This might be a weird comparison, but Jackie Brown, to me, is the Quentin Tarantino movie in which he has the lightest touch. I love Jackie Brown. I also love Kill Bill, where it's saturated with Tarantino, but there's a difference there. And I think you can definitely very much tell that Looper is a Rian Johnson movie, just like you can tell Jackie Brown is a Quentin Tarantino movie. But, it feels like he knew how to really let it all blossom as it does.
Joe, has your appreciation for how difficult it is to be a director changed recently?
GORDON-LEVITT: Oh, yeah! I just directed a movie that I wrote, called Don Jon's Addiction. We just finished shooting about two weeks ago, and we're starting to cut it. I do think that having a 2011 where I worked with Rian, and then Chris Nolan, and then Steven Spielberg, I couldn't have asked for a better year, leading up to directing a movie, for the first time. Those three directors actually do have a lot in common. Rian is obviously less known than Chris and Steven, at this point, but I think, when all is said and done, they'll actually be three directors that are regarded in a very similar fashion.
It's been great watching your career unfold, from Third Rock From the Sun to Mysterious Skin to now. How do you see your path, as an actor?
GORDON-LEVITT: Well, when I first finished doing Third Rock From the Sun and wanted to do movies, no one wanted to put me in their movies, which is understandable enough. I can understand how that might be distracting, to have the kid from Third Rock From the Sun in your movie. So, there are three movies, and therefore three directors, that I really think I owe a lot for taking a chance on me, when I was trying to make that transition – one is Jordan Melamed, who made Manic, one is Gregg Araki, who made Mysterious Skin, and the third is Rian, who made Brick. Those are the three movies that, when other filmmakers saw them, they started thinking, "Okay, maybe he's not only the kid from Third Rock From the Sun."
What was it like when you first saw yourself with Bruce Willis' face, and how did everyone else react?
GORDON-LEVITT: One of the highlights of the whole thing was Bruce seeing me, for the first time, and tripping out a little bit. He's a sweetheart. It's hard to rattle him because he's seen a lot. He's an understated man, so to get any reaction out of him is pretty exciting. I remember him doing a double take, and I was so thrilled about it. There was also one point where we were shooting one of our scenes together and, in between takes, he got really quiet and was like, "You sound like me." I was like, "You're fucking right, I do!" I didn't let him see me do that.
BLUNT: When I first met Joe, I arrived on set and no one told me he was wearing prosthetics, or maybe I'd been told and I hadn't remembered. It was my first day and they said, "Would you like to meet Joe?," and I was like, "Yeah, sure." So, we went to his trailer and I was staring at him, probably oddly, because I couldn't figure out why he looked nothing like how I imagined. I was like, "I know what Joe Levitt looks like, and that is not it." And then, I started to have a brain melting experience, thinking, "Oh, my god, I am not speaking to Joe Gordon-Levitt. I'm speaking to his stunt man. Someone put me in the wrong trailer. I'm telling this guy all about my character." It was very strange. And I came out and was like, "He looks really different," and they were like, "He's wearing prosthetics." I think it's a great credit to the prosthetics guys for coming up with something so realistic. He looked disarmingly different, and not fake. It was amazing, really.
JOHNSON: My favorite was when Joe's parents were on set, and they were even freaked out by it.
GORDON-LEVITT: It was interesting. My mom said, "When you stand next to me and I don't look at you, you're like yourself. You're who I know. But then, as soon as I look at you, you're not my son anymore." She was a little disconcerted.

NEVERMORE: A Book of Hours
A distillation of thirty years of research and meditation by author and poet David Day, an acknowledged authority on the extinction of species. In its conception and approach, NEVERMORE is unlike any other natural history. It is shot through with a combined sense of wonder and savagery in vivid first encounters and last glimpses of each of these now vanished species. Its commentaries are a treasure trove of historic events and insights to be found nowhere else. In NEVERMORE: A Book of Hours, we see how the fates of animals are linked to human history: Julius Caesar with the Aurochs, Marco Polo with the Elephant Bird, Christopher Columbus with the Eskimo Curlew, John Cabot with the Great Auk, Jacques Cartier with the Passenger Pigeon, Vitus Bering with the Steller Sea Cow, Charles Darwin with the Antarctic Wolf. NEVERMORE: A Book of Hours is a modern bestiary and a book of remembrance. It is illustrated by four distinguished artists; and is a tribute and requiem to vanished species.
"Fascinating… part elegy, part call to arms, Nevermore is one of the most original and striking books of the year." - Steven Woods, Quill and Quire
"Nevermore is a gem of a book. It will give hours of pleasure and is the kind that one can re-read over and over and even quote from." - Robert Bateman
"Read David Day's fascinating, deep-diving Nevermore: A Book of Hours." - Margaret Atwood
"Nevermore is a terrific idea and the stories are wonderful." - David Suzuki

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland DECODED
This gorgeous 150th anniversary edition of Alice's Adventure in Wonderland is also a revelatory work of scholarship. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is a book many of us love and feel we know well. But it turns out we have only scratched the surface. Scholar David Day has spent many years down the rabbit hole and has emerged with a revelatory new view of its contents. What we have here, he brilliantly and persuasively argues, is a complete classical education in coded form - Carroll's gift to his "wonder child" Alice Liddell. Day reveals the many layers of teaching, concealed by manipulation of language, that are carried so lightly in the beguiling form of a fairy tale. His novel is a memory palace, given to Alice as the great gift of an education delivered in coded form because in that age, it was a gift no girl would receive in any other way. Day also shows how the characters in the book are based on real Victorians. Wonderland, he shows, is a veritable Who's Who of Oxford.
"I've been reading the Alice adventures since my childhood, and David Day's book is the one that I would have wanted to write, had I his talent, wit and wisdom. It is the perfect vade mecum for all travelers, new and seasoned, who venture into Alice's realms. In the words of the poet, "O frabjous Day!" - Alberto Manguel.
"We all think we know Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, but David Day's seductively scholarly new look at the background to the tale reveals the rich and labyrinthine workings of its creator and the Victorian mindset that inspired it."- Michael Palin
THE FULL TEXT OF CARROLL'S NOVEL WITH ITS MANY HIDDEN MEANINGS REVEALED BY DAVID DAY - HARDCOVER – SEP 29 2015.
A Dictionary of Tolkien
J.R.R. Tolkien is the father of modern fantasy. He created characters and a world so rich with details—and so unique—that it warranted a whole new vocabulary along with it. His creation of language is not surprising, considering his first civilian job following his service during World War I was working on the Oxford English Dictionary. Inside, you'll find a chronology of Tolkien's life, along with a short biography and an explanation of his writings. Then flip through the dictionary to discover names and terms from Aglarond, the great caverns beneath Helm's Deep to Zirak-zikal, the peak where Gandalf battled the Balrog of Moria. And between this A and this Z, you will discover over 500 entries under the names of persons, places and things in Tolkien's world. Beautifully illustrated by award-winning illustrators, like Victor Ambrus, Ian Miller, Lidia Postma and Allan Curless, this companion with its beautiful heat-burnished cover serves as a terrific resource for all those in love with Middle Earth and its inhabitants.
"A comprehensive guide to every important aspect of Middle-earth and the Undying Lands… A stunning tour de force." - Detroit Free Press.
"Tolkien: A Dictionary is a neat little book whose title says exactly what it is: Middle-earth from Aglarond to Zirakzigil. The soft leather-like flexible cover makes it the perfect companion. The numerous black and white illustrations are superb." – Noble Smith, Top Tolkien Books of the Year, Huffington Post.

An Atlas of Tolkien
J. R. R. Tolkien's fictional universe is as vast as the human imagination, so an atlas is a helpful tool to get around. Consider this book your navigational guide to Middle-earth and the Undying Lands. Maps, images, and vivid descriptions in full color create an enchanting reference to all the fantastical places and creatures that sprung from Tolkien's mind.
The Atlas contains 46 pages of maps, chronologies and genealogical charts, along with over 100 pages of full-colour illustrations by 30 distinguished fantasy artists of landscapes, cities, events, battles and incidents in the evolution of Tolkien's world from its creation until the aftermath of the War of the Rings. The deluxe, heat-burnished cover makes this a charming addition to your Tolkien library.
"A remarkable achievement… A real beauty." Los Angeles Times on David Day's Tolkien: the Illustrated Encyclopedia.
"Day's enthusiasm is infectious, and he concisely retells the myths he examines with some verve." Sunday Telegraph on David Day Tolkien's Ring.

THE HOBBIT COMPANION
Dissecting the brilliant web of verbal hocus-pocus that J.R.R. Tolkien delightedly spun in The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, master hobbit investigator David Day reveals the myriad crafty puns and riddles, hidden meanings, and mythical associations beneath the saga's thrilling surface. Starting with the word "hobbit" itself, the book moves on to examine Bilbo Baggins, hobbit heritage and history, Gandalf, Shire Society, and much more. Intriguing to the uninitiated and enchanting to the Tolkien enthusiast, this companion can only enhance one's enjoyment of his mysterious world. Tolkien's masterpiece is explained in this exploration of the inspirational power of language for all Tolkien enthusiasts, complete with original and beautifully atmospheric drawings and paintings by Lidia Postma, one of Holland's finest and most celebrated contemporary illustrators.
"Regardless of whether or not you have any interest in language or linguistics, this is definitely a book worth reading. It is a remarkable attempt to see into the mind of the man who "discovered" Middle-earth and its inhabitants…. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. …. The Hobbit Companion will provide you with a greater appreciation for the time and care Tolkien put into his stories. I look forward to reading whatever Day comes out with next." - Britta Seamen, Tolkien-Britta Reviews

HISTORIC & MYTHOLOGICAL
Fantasy and Myth
THE EMPEROR'S PANDA
This original fairy tale is set in the time of China's ancient celestial empire when the world was filled with a multitude of wonderful and mythical creatures. It is the story of the first panda the world has ever seen, Lord Beishung, "the rarest, most magical and wisest of all creatures in creation." He helps a poor young shepherd boy, Kung the fluteplayer, whose life has been changed by the appearance of three strangers. Kung must embark on a great journey, a journey made perilous by evil wizards, phantoms and magical beasts. The Emperor's Panda first appeared in the wake of the very first Panda visitors to Canada. Nearly 30 years ago, Qing Qing and Quan Quan were guests of the Toronto Zoo for three months and were the author's inspiration for this charming story. The release of this new edition is to mark the arrival of Da Mao and Er Shun: Canada's latest Panda visitors. It is also an opportunity for a new generation of children to be enthralled by this magical tale.
"One of the most lyrical enchanting children's books ever published." - Maclean's Magazine.
"A charming tale filled with myth and adventure… pure magic." - Toronto Star.

The Battles of Tolkien

The Battles of Tolkien recounts many of the greatest conflicts over thousands of years, from the earliest skirmishes of the Valarian Ages to the defining battles in the War of the Ring. Insightful commentary by Tolkien scholar David Day discusses how the people, tactics, and weapons influenced the outcome of each battle, and also how the legends of Middle-earth relate to the real-world mythology on which Tolkien based his famous literary creation.

Leading experts in the fields of plastic recovery and utilization will present extensive and detailed industry assessments, including analyses of trends in the U.S. and Canada, plastics collection issues, recycling market factors, and legislative and policy considerations.
The race is on for companies to green their supply chains and improve the sustainability of product lines. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the plastics packaging sector, where manufacturers, shippers and retailers are discovering that sustainable packaging policies are good for both the environment, as well as the bottom line. The 2014 Plastics Recycling Conference opens with a top-level assessment of plastics recycling and packaging sustainability initiatives at some of the largest retailers and packaging manufacturers in the world.
Walmart is one of the few companies in the world large enough to single-handedly change an entire industry, and the company's sustainable packaging initiative has already had a profound effect on plastics recycling. How have Walmart's packaging initiatives, sustainability goals, and recycled content use changed recycling and what can we expect next?
Procter & Gamble has embarked on an ambitious, multi-year effort to reduce manufacturing waste and improve the recyclability of their plastic packaging. What progress have their made and what's to come for the packaging giant?
How do packaging manufacturers gauge the sustainability of their products? Global packaging manufacturer Amcor utilizes comprehensive lifecycle assessments to measure its plastic products and their recyclability.
Understanding complex resin markets is a must for any serious plastic recycling firm. Fortunately, three experts in the field are here to help and will walk Plastics Recycling Conference attendees through the dynamics of the resin market -- past, present and future.
What is the long term trend in polyethylene pricing and what do processors need to know for the coming year? This presentation will take an in depth look at polyethylene markets and pricing.
How is the PP market impacting your bottom line?
PP markets have been subjected to disruptive trade forces over the past year. To make sense of how these events affect your business, this presentation will take a look at their impact on pricing, as well as what polypropylene reclaimers can expect in the coming year.
PET is one of the most recycled plastic resins, but successfully processing PET means doing your homework. This session offers a detailed assessment of PET resin market price trends and what processors can expect.
Significant progress has been made in recycling many types of plastic products. Beverage bottles, for example, are a very prominent example. But what about the plastic products which still lag behind in recycling? What are the collection, transport, processing and end-market challenges that exist and how do we overcome them?
Expanded polystyrene foam is one of the most difficult materials to collect for recycling. Ontario's Continuous Improvement Fund thinks it is up to the challenge and shares their progress in this presentation.
Collecting and recycling agricultural plastics presents unique challenges, ranging from remote locations and logistics problems, to chemical contamination. Fortunately, there are some common best practices that are yielding successes around the country.
What are the options for dealing with plastics that are either too technically difficult to recycle, or too economically unfeasible? One new option looks to help processors reclaim value from waste plastic, and offers productive alternatives to sending materials to landfill.
Coordination between product designers and plastic recycling companies is rare, but that may be changing. As bottle manufacturers and beverage companies push a new type of label, industry groups are stepping in to make sure recycling options exist for bottles with these new labels.
What are the technical challenges in recycling bottles with full wrap labels? The Association of Postconsumer Plastic Recyclers has developed guidelines and shares recent success stories on label design.
A multi-stakeholder group of resin producers, consumer goods companies and manufacturers of full wrap labels are developing their own best-practices to promote recyclability. How were these standards developed and how have they changed product designs?
How are manufacturers of labels and packaging materials responding to these recyclability concerns? Avery Dennison outlines its sustainability initiatives and how recycling affects product design.
Balancing collection volume with quality is tough, and with single stream curbside programs on the rise throughout the country, many MRFs and downstream processors are facing new challenges. How do collectors, recycling facilities and plastic processors at all stages of the value chain source, sort, process and sell plastics from single-stream?
North Carolina, like many other states, counties and local governments, has transitioned to single stream collection of recycling. But how is the need to collect more material balanced against sorting challenges and quality concerns?
What are the technologies and techniques used to separate plastics from single stream sources at a MRF? There's no easy answer, but progress is being made and the facilities that successfully divert plastics gain a tremendous competitive advantage.
Can processors overcome reduced quality of plastics collected through single stream? How is the quality of the final product affected? What are the end-market applications?
Between commingled collection, new packaging innovations and growing levels of additives and composite materials, plastic recycling is becoming more and more complicated. This packed session features the latest processing solutions from a half dozen of the recycling industry's top equipment manufacturers.
Plastic recycling faces some important challenges on the horizon to improve diversion, develop markets, and increase the efficiency of processes. Fortunately, the plastics recycling industry is already hard at work developing solutions to tomorrow's recycling challenges.
A robust multi-stakeholder coalition of plastics recycling professionals across the southeast U.S. has launched the SERDC 120 project, which aims to improve municipal solid waste diversion in a way that benefits plastics recycling and recovery. The results are in and they offer a fascinating look at what the future of collection will look like.
New research sponsored by the American Chemistry Council aims to make sense of the changing composition of the curbside recycling stream. Utilizing data from MRFs, plastic processors, brand owners, local governments, and other stakeholders, this exciting presentation sheds light on what plastics are in your rollcart, where they go, how they are processed, and how all this will change in the future.
Despite the scant attention paid to bags and wrap — except for bans, or instructions like "do not include" —more than 1 billion pounds of this valuable material are recycled annually. But bags and other plastic film packaging has tremendous unrealized potential: it's nowhere near its recycling plateau, and even super-motivated recyclers are still in the dark about the range of household packaging that are recyclable. The Wrap Recycling Action Project's goal is to raise public awareness and make film a commonly recycled commodity. Industry leaders are building a cohesive educational campaign involving the How2Recycle Label on major brands, grassroots efforts with local governments, retailers, and recyclers.
As consumers increasingly replace and recycle their unwanted consumer electronics of every size and shape, there are new opportunities and challenges facing those trying to make our gadgets more sustainable. This panel discussion will highlight the opportunities and challenges that each player in the effort to expand recycled plastics in electronics has faced, how all have worked together on critical pieces of these efforts – spurring the cycle for supply and demand for recycled plastics in new industry segments. This session at the Plastic Recycling Conference will be a fascinating "lessons learned" conversation, which will be of great interest to many plastics processors and reclaimers from outside the growing electronics recycling field.
Recycling works best when everyone is on the same page, although unfortunately this is easier said than done. Fortunately, there are several organizations working diligently to create and refine best practices and recycling standards.
It's important that buyers of plastic material know what they're getting.  Fortunately, there are common standards for plastic bales.  In this session, APR outlines the group's latest revisions on its model bale specifications.
How do we define terms and concepts in plastics recycling? In an effort to improve consumer recycling education, as well as how the plastics recycling industry communicates, the American Chemistry Council, Re-TRAC Connect, Moore Recycling Associates and other groups have teamed up to launch the Plastics Terminology Project.
There are countless sustainability claims made by product marketers, and many manufacturers have begun to make recycling or degradability claims about their plastic products. The Federal Trade Commission Green Guides offer common best practices and traps to avoid for product marketers – as well as ways for consumers to spot disingenuous claims.
No single recycling market story dominated the past year the same way as China's crackdown on the import of scrap materials. Operation Green Fence upended the traditional flow of scrap materials, highlighted significant quality control abuses among some scrap exporters, and provided a window of opportunity for domestic plastic reclaimers. Brokers, processors and recycling professionals share their experience in adjusting to these challenges, as well as how their business has changed since the official end of the Chinese enforcement action last fall.

Q: JS code with promise not working on AWS lambda but works when changed to async/await style I am trying to create a function on AWS Lambda to send SMS to a mobile phone using Twilio API. I am using Node.JS and mostly followed the instructions in this post here: https://www.twilio.com/blog/aws-lambda-layers-node-js-twilio-sms
The code for sending the SMS which I got from that post is this:
exports.handler = (event, context, callback) => {

    // Your Account SID from www.twilio.com/console
    // See http://twil.io/secure for important security information
    const accountSid = process.env.ACCOUNT_SID;

    // Your Auth Token from www.twilio.com/console
    // See http://twil.io/secure for important security information
    const authToken = process.env.AUTH_TOKEN;

    // Import Twilio's Node Helper library
    // Create an authenticated Twilio Client instance
    const client = require('twilio')(accountSid, authToken);

    // Send a text message
    client.messages.create({
        body: 'Hello from Lambda!',
        to: '+12345678901',  // your phone number
        from: '+12345678901' // a valid Twilio number
    })
        .then((message) => {
            // Success, return message SID
            callback(null, message.sid);
        })
        .catch((e) => {
                // Error, return error object
            callback(Error(e));
        });

};

When I was creating the lambda on AWS I chose a Hello-World template and it had marked the exports.handler callback as async, like this exports.handler = async (event, context, callback) => {. I failed to notice this async keyword and copy pasted the method body from that post, ultimately mixing async/await code with promise style .then code. I first tested this code locally from my computer and it worked because I just used the method body without any top level function or anything. But when I ran this from AWS Lambda, the environment variables were getting logged correctly, but after that I wasnt getting any other O/P or error. After wasting a lot of time, I decided to change the chained promise style code to async/await style code and it worked. My modified code is this:
exports.handler = async (event, context, callback) => {
    // Your Account SID from www.twilio.com/console
    // See http://twil.io/secure for important security information
    const accountSid = process.env.ACCOUNT_SID;

    // Your Auth Token from www.twilio.com/console
    // See http://twil.io/secure for important security information
    const authToken = process.env.AUTH_TOKEN;

    // Import Twilio's Node Helper library
    // Create an authenticated Twilio Client instance
    const client = require('twilio')(accountSid, authToken);

    try {
        const messageSid = await client.messages.create({
                body: 'Hello from Lambda!',
                to: '+12345678901',  // your phone number
            from: '+12345678901' // a valid Twilio number
        });
    }
    catch(err) {
        callback(Error(err));
    }
};

My question is, is it wrong to mix async/await with promise type code (.then construct)? If I add async keyword in the 1st line of 1st code it doesnt work. Why does this happen?

A: You should not combine the two. Details can be found here:
AWS Lambda function handler in Node.js.
One key is this:

For non-async handlers, function execution continues until the event loop is empty or the function times out. The response isn't sent to the invoker until all event loop tasks are finished. If the function times out, an error is returned instead. You can configure the runtime to send the response immediately by setting context.callbackWaitsForEmptyEventLoop to false.

When you are NOT using async it will wait for the event loop to finish. It does not do this when you are using async, as it expects you to use async all the way through.

The infamous Nexus 7 dock station have been known to exist since the launch of the popular 7-inch tablet, but where on the world is it? We had already had some reports in the past of the dock being shipped, but in the end, they all turned out false positives. Today, however, we got a real offering of a Nexus 7 dock, and it's coming from an Amazon merchant.
EXCaliberPC, a top-ranked Amazon merchant, is offering the dock for $50 with free shipping. If you paid attention to older rumors, you may know that the accessory was priced at $40, but that didn't include the shipping, which means you would paid just about the same money, depending on where you live. It's worth mentioning that the product has received all-positive ratings, proving it's not a scam.
By far this is the best option if you are about to get a dock for your Nexus 7. The dock itself features a microUSB charging port and a 3,5mm headphone jack. It's a beautifully crafted little accessory, all made of plastic, with Nexus branding on the front. Visit the source link to proceed to Amazon's website where you can find the dock.
