Vassily Primakov
Chopin: 21 Mazurkas
Bridge Records
Bridge's most recent offering of Chopin from their young Moscow-born virtuoso Vassily Primakov was a disc of the concertos so firmly swathed in Rachmaninovian intensity that, while the results were not without interest, the delicate character of the pieces ultimately crumbled under pressure. Rachmaninov's presence is felt no less in this new recording of 21 of the Mazurkas. But in contrast to the concertos, Primakov's big-boned pianism really brings something valuable to Chopin's bucolic oeuvre.
If this strikes you as odd, given what one naturally imagines would be lost in sacrificing some of the lightness and flexibility of touch required to bring the often fleeting melodies of these works fully to life, you'll understand what led me to play the disc repeatedly until I convinced myself that my first impressions weren't simply mistaken. Even now, some weeks after first playing the recording, it still takes me by surprise. Primakov seems to lean so heavily into the instrument – a tendency reinforced by the dark acoustic of the Odense concert hall – that the resulting brooding sensitivity accumulates and shapes the listening experience in an entirely new way.
The success of Primakov's approach is all the more striking in the more fragile works. The robust, barn-dance style pieces, such as first of the Opus 17 set, in B-flat, simply won't allow for too much dark humour, and Primakov bashes through them nimbly. In the more fragile numbers, however, such as the fleeting F minor mazurka from Opus 63, or the fourth from Opus 17, in A minor, with its delicately de-centred arabesque, Primakov seems to squeeze out a new set of colours and associations from this well-worked terrain. Nor is the inner balance of each piece troubled, the young pianist's sense of timing proving near infallible, even when appearing to push the rubato to its limit, as in the A minor, Op. 67 No. 4. Primakov has also threaded his own intelligent path through his selection of pieces, making this album thought-provoking in the compositional as well as interpretative sense of this term.

Newark School Leader Honored With National Urban Education Award
By KEI-SYGH THOMAS
Maria Pilar Paradiso, school leader of Link Community Charter School, was honored with the Robert F. Kennedy Urban Education award. Maria Pilar Paradiso, school leader of Link Community Charter School, was honored with the Robert ... Credits: Schools That Can
NEWARK, NJ - Newark school leader Maria Pilar Paradiso was honored with a Robert F. Kennedy Urban Education Award for her courage and improving the culture at Link Community Charter School as its school leader.
She received the award at the Schools That Can 14th Annual Forum luncheon last month. The award, from the Schools That Can (STC) in partnership with Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights, was presented by Kennedy's granddaughter, Cara Kennedy Cuomo.
The 2019 awards honored a school leader, teacher, and student who have demonstrated moral courage and commitment to bettering their communities.
In addition to the RFK Awards, Schools That Can presented the Leaders That Can Awards, to honor community and service-oriented local businesses and leaders. Chancellor Nancy Cantor of Rutgers University-Newark was honored for her leadership in education. Prudential Financial was honored for their investment in community initiatives to help shrink the opportunity and skills gap.
Prior to working in education, Paradiso worked with former New Jersey Senator Bill Bradley and practiced law. Though there were different social inequities she was operating within, she didn't feel like she was making a long-term impact toward systemic change that she desired.
"I was always pulled to the social justice arena, so I was really lucky that I joined Link Community School in August of 2012," Paradiso said. "I felt like when I arrived I had an opportunity to take all that experience and skill set that I had developed and put it to work in a way that [had] a tangible impact."
She was nominated for the award by Link staff for her commitment to equity, justice and instilling those values in others and her role converting Link from an independent private school to a public charter school.
Paradiso arrived at Link 2002 and was appointed head of school in 2010. She expanded the school to reach more students at an earlier age and help ensure that students continued to be admitted to local competitive magnet, private, and boarding schools.
The school offers a four-week summer academy for incoming students and students who desire additional academic programs to keep developing their skills. Project-based learning focused on real world issues is maximized to help students develop skills and confidence they can tap into in the future, said Paradiso.
What's unique about the award distinction, Schools That Can Executive Director Erin Sweeney explained, is that the awards are not narrowly focused on academic merit or standardized state test metrics.
"It's about what teacher or school leader or student teacher is going above and beyond and demonstrating what it means to be socially active and involved, community-centered person," said Sweeney.
Paradiso said she is grateful for the honor.
"I get so much more out of it than I feel I give," she explains. "Education and school leadership is so challenging day to day, but when you step back you realize it's an extraordinary role to serve."

'They were prepared to hide.' New details about prison escapee captured in Georgia
He escaped from a Wyoming halfway house, allegedly with the help of a female staffer, in December. The two were finally found in Georgia.

MONROE COUNTY, Ga. — A man who escaped a halfway house in Wyoming in December was captured Friday after making his way to Georgia.
Authorities said 29-year-old Richard Fountaine escaped Casper Re-Entry Center in Wyoming on December 28.. Fountaine was serving a 3- to 5-year sentence for burglary. The Casper Center allows certain inmates to go our for parts of the day for work. However, Fountaine didn't return, but instead climbed a wall and chain-link fence. Investigators say he then climbed into an SUV and left the area.
The SUV was registered to 25-year-old Kimberly Belcher, a staffer at Casper Re-Entry. At some point, the two made their way to Monroe County, Ga.

According to Lt. Chad Beck with the Monroe County Sheriff's Office, they received a criminal trespass call on January 9.
"Deputies responded and found the vehicle stuck on a power line. The tags were run it showed the female associated with the vehicle was a suspect with the escapee," Beck said Friday afternoon.
After a two-day search, and a eyewitness account of the two walking around a garage and talking to the property owner, investigators tracked the pair to Highway 42 North, to a wooded area. U.S. Marshals, DOC K9 and a GSP helicopter assisted with the search.

The two were found just before 1 p.m. on Friday, dressed in full camouflage, by a pond, face down on the bank of a dam. The two were hiding their hands underneath them, in hopes they wouldn't be seen.
"They were prepared to hide?" a reporter asked Beck during a news conference.
"Yes," Beck responded.
The two were taken in without a struggle. The two appeared to have been on foot since losing their car two days earlier.
It's unclear where they were headed, what charges they will face in Georgia or when they'll be taken back to Wyoming.
Their first appearance will take place in Monroe County.
According to the Casper Star Tribune, other workers at the facility have made news after prosecutors accused them of having sexual encounters with inmates.


Glasgow and Edinburgh will be two of nearly 70 cities around the world taking part in a Global Day of Action to show support for democracy activists in Burma.
The demonstrations in Glasgow and Edinburgh are supported by a wide range of groups and representatives of Scotland's Buddhist community. They will take place in solidarity with the monks and peaceful demonstrators in Burma, with participants dressed in red peacefully calling for democracy and human rights for all.
In the last few weeks, tens of thousands of Burmese people have taken to the streets to protest against their country's unelected government. The peaceful protests have been met by a harsh military crackdown, mass arrests and the shooting of unarmed civilians.
Amnesty International is urging the United Nations Security Council to immediately impose a comprehensive and mandatory arms embargo on Burma and to urge the immediate release of peaceful protestors.

So You Want to Work in Publishing?
Beginning a career in publishing can be an extremely daunting. Despite warnings that "publishing is dying," it seems like more and more students are setting their sights on a career in magazine journalism, book publishing, and the like. But entering the industry is easier said than done, especially considering that many positions are often in New York City and filled based on "who you know." But never fear, there are many creative ways of entering the publishing industry that are entirely realistic for college students. Read on for five opportunities that college students interested in publishing should look out for to begin an exciting book, magazine, or media career.
-Explore your university: Many schools have academic publishing houses that offer internships or fellowships for students attending the university. If you're interested in book or journal publishing, this can be a great way to get your feet wet. I currently work as a Marketing Assistant at the Johns Hopkins University Press, and I've learned so much about about the publishing industry! The University of Texas also has a great program available only to alumni that allows graduates to work for a year at the Press with a concentration in either Editorial or Marketing. You school may have a similar internship or fellowship available to you!
-Freelance, freelance, freelance: Reach out to the HR departments small newspapers or magazines and see if they offer freelance opportunities. Come prepared with writing samples from school newspaper to show just how talented you are. There are many ways of translating a free-lance gig into a career. Showing a magazine your writing skills is the first step to getting hired. Plus, according to Matt Keener, a contributor at Entrepreneur, "One billion dollars — that's how much had been paid to freelancers via the oDesk platform in 2013. And the company forecast that its online work market will be worth $5 billion by 2018.-local magazines." In other words, oftentimes, it pays to freelance.
-Look Outside the Big Apple: You always hear how New York City is the center of publishing, and in many ways that is true. But don't forget there are equally exciting opportunities elsewhere. For example, take Rodale, home of Men's Health, Women's Health, Runner's World, Bicycling, etc. I've interned at their headquarters in small town Emmaus, PA, which has a much lower cost of living than New York. Another example is the Southern Progress Corporation, located in Birmingham, AL, which publishes top magazines like Southern Living and Coastal Living. If relocating to New York is just not realistic for you, search for other, more financially accessible options.
-Look Local: Piggybacking off the suggestion, look for a local metropolitan magazine to intern with, if your dream is breaking into the magazine industry. For instance, Philadelphia has two fantastic local magazines, Philadelphia and Main Line Today. If you're going to school in Philly, look into possible internships at these magazines. I can speak from personal experience- I learned so much about magazine editorial while working for Baltimore magazine!
-Or look online: Sometimes, it's just not possible to commute to a city for work or even find a local publication to intern with. But in the last few years, online internships have been becoming more and more popular. You can begin to learn the publishing business all from the comfort of your dorm with online editorial internships where you can still be responsible for writing and fact-checking articles. For example, the Matador Network offers internships for those interested in travel writing that are entirely virtual! If you seek out opportunities like this, breaking into the publishing industry becomes a whole lot easier.


Fraser the barber – Haircuts, beard trims and shaves as well as vinyl in a space for guys to relax and take time.
I am a barber trained at Gents of London Academy in North London and now plying my trade to the gentlemen of Copenhagen. I specialize in mens hair, beards and shaving.
I love the tradition of barbering its etiquette but without being overly formal and believe that visiting a barber is important today as a time that men can take for themselves, to relax, talk, joke, not talk, be around other men and most importantly get themselves fixed up looking and feeling fresh and ready. There is nothing shameful in taking pride in one's appearance, in fact it is of the utmost importance.

Don't Try A Coup
By our reporter.
The chairperson of the committee on foreign affairs and Rose Mutonyi has advised Zimbabweans to discourage a coup in their country to avert the consequences of military takeover.
Ms. Mutonyi was reacting to the news about the military takeover, following the sacking of the country's vice President Emerson Mnangawa, by his boss Robert Mugabe, who has ruled the country for 37 years.
"As somebody who went through a military regime in Uganda, a where there wasn't constitution, I would not advise the Zimbabweans to tamper by urging the military to take over.
Mutonyi said the people agitating for a military take over should calm down because, President Mugabe is now old, who will not rule the country forever military take over is therefore uncalled for.
Mr. Mugabe, 93, has dominated the country's political scene since it gained independence from the UK in 1980.
The Zimbabwean military however denies staging a coup, saying that President Mugabe is safe and that it was acting against "criminals" surrounding him.

UnitedHealthcare, Broward Health terminate contract, affecting thousands
Friday, April 1st, 2022
Thousands of UnitedHealthcare beneficiaries are now out of network at Fort Lauderdale, Fla.-based Broward Health after the two parties failed to reach a new contract by the April 1 deadline.
Broward Health patients with UnitedHealthcare plans or plans from UnitedHealthcare subsidiaries such as Neighborhood Health Plan, Preferred Care Network and WellMed are affected.
The health system released a statement March 31 saying it was "greatly disappointed" that UnitedHealthcare was unwilling to negotiate a reasonable agreement.
Broward said it had asked UnitedHealthcare to reimburse providers at levels comparable to what it pays other facilities in South Florida or at levels comparable to what other health plans pay it.
"We have made every effort to reach a new agreement, even going so far as offering to reconcile with UnitedHealthcare based on the final determination of an independent third party that could fairly evaluate our requests. UnitedHealthcare declined," Broward Health said.
UnitedHealthcare said that Broward Health demanded an 88 percent reimbursement increase for its providers over the next four years, which the insurance company called "unreasonable" and "not affordable" for the community, employer group or employees.
"While this is not the outcome we hoped for, we feel it's necessary if we are to achieve the goal of ensuring the employer group customers and members we serve throughout Broward County have access to affordable healthcare," UnitedHealthcare said.
Both parties said they will continue to negotiate to restore in-network access.

This chapter is the account of "The rebellion of Korah", and how the earth opened and swallowed them up. By this time in the wilderness, Moses must have thought things were finally going to settle down. The tabernacle had been built, Levi trained, manna falling from heaven, and Aaron for the most part, behaving. I don't know, but I guess that this was a bright sunny Monday morning when Moses's world changed in a moment. Korah and 3 buddies took 250 men and revolted against Moses. What we want to look at is the man named "On". He was involved enough to be mentioned in verse one, but never shows up again. At some point during this event he was moved to QUIT, STOP, and TURN AROUND. He didn't suffer the consequences of the others. Something changed his direction. What moved On?
[verse 11] Moses assured them that they were gathered together against the Lord!
It's one thing to rebel against your parents, teachers, or boss; but when you rebel, you are rebelling against God.
[Psalm 51:3-4] "For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.
[1 Sam.15:23] rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft- You probably would never ever attempt witchcraft, yet any rebellion of authority is as the same.
This is why we are so concerned at any form of rebellion in our youth, we know how serious it is.
Maybe On realized this and it moved him to stop, what about you?
I can imagine that they were discouraged, and just like us had a distorted view of their circumstances. In reality, he had food and raiment, "let us therewith be content". Sometimes we need to step back and see where God has taken us.
[verses 23-27] they had been doing wrong for a while -, built a tabernacle He had been testing God's longsuffering.
How long is God's longsuffering? How long should he put up with you?
Maybe he thought that God approved of this second tabernacle, really?
[2Cor.10:12] God wants you to be you, that's a full-time job.
Through Bible reading and preaching you have a multitude of examples to help you not make fatal mistakes.
We really can't say what is was exactly that moved On to not continue in this rebellion. Maybe one day in Glory we can ask him. Maybe God is using this account to admonish you to stop your rebellion.

James Hunt and Murray Walker sit down with Chris Serle for a great interview about life, Formula 1 and their commentating partnership in this 1988 episode of Windmill.
Windmill was a BBC series which ran for a few years in the mid-1980s and made use of archival footage plucked from the BBC's Windmill Road archives.
This episode, one from the closing weeks of the show, aired on the 10th of January 1988. Its theme was 'Cars' and it brought Formula 1 commentating duo James Hunt and Murray Walker in for an interview with host Chris Serle. They chat about the pair's careers, significant moments in Formula 1 and its coverage, Walker and Hunt's commentating partnership and more alongside some classic clips.
It's always good to see Hunt and Walker together, and this is an enjoyable watch. Just don't look too hard at Serle's sweater!

Wędrowiec, też Pielgrzym lub Syn marnotrawny () – obraz olejny autorstwa Hieronima Boscha, reprezentanta późniejszej generacji prymitywistów niderlandzkich.

Dzieło powstało po 1498 i stanowi przykład późnogotyckiego malarstwa tablicowego, zawierającego elementy związane z nowożytnym humanizmem. Treść Wędrowca została oparta nie tylko na wątku biblijnym, lecz także na fantastycznej wyobraźni artysty, wątkach satyrycznych i niderlandzkiej tradycji ludowej (m.in. przysłowiach). Temat Wędrowca Bosch podejmował kilkakrotnie, m.in. ukazany został na rewersach tryptyku Wóz z sianem (Madryt, Prado). Wędrowiec prezentowany jest w Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen w holenderskim Rotterdamie.

Wygląd
Na tondzie został ukazany wędrujący mężczyzna, w starszym wieku. Starość poświadczają liczne zmarszczki na twarzy i widoczne zza chusty siwe włosy. Mężczyzna wykonuje gest pozdrowienia, zwracając się lekko za siebie, w stronę miejsca niewidocznego na obrazie. Spośród ukazanych ludzi zgromadzonych na terenie starej gospody, wieśniacza para wyłaniająca się zza okna obserwuje wędrowca, zaś stojąca przy drzwiach kolejna para spogląda na prawo, w stronę niewidocznego na obrazie punktu. Jednocześnie mężczyzna w sposób lubieżny przekonuje kobietę. Pod domem, przy pobliskim drewnianym płocie, widoczny jest także ubogi włóczęga załatwiający swoje potrzeby fizjologiczne. Główny bohater obrazu jest ubogim i wynędzniałym wędrowcem. Ubrany jest w podniszczone odzienie; widoczną fragmentarycznie białą koszulę i szary strój pielgrzymi; chustę, długi płaszcz i potargane, obcisłe spodnie. Na nogach ma czarne buty, ale każdy z nich ma inny fason. Na lewej nodze, poniżej kolana, wędrowiec ma opatrzoną ranę. W lewej ręce trzyma kapelusz, do którego jest wbite szydło, w prawej drewnianą laskę. Na plecach nosi wiklinowy kosz z żywnością, zaś do pasa ma przywiązaną sakiewkę i sztylet w skórzanej pochwie. Scenerię obrazu tworzy fragment wsi z rozległym krajobrazem. Zabudowę tworzy wspomniana podniszczona gospoda (uszkodzone okiennice oraz fragmenty dachu) o konstrukcji szkieletowej, nakryta słomianym dwuspadowym dachem, którego połacie mają odmienne rozmiary. Do szczytu elewacji przywiązana jest miotła, na okapie dachu wisi klatka z ptakiem, zaś przy bocznej ścianie zwisa mała flaga z łabędziem. Ponadto widoczne jest pudło i drewniana beczka oparta o ścianę budynku. Mieszkańcy gospody noszą charakterystyczne dla późnego średniowieczna stroje domowe. Po prawej stronie domu widoczna jest fragmentarycznie zagroda. Przed domem rozległe podwórze z wysokim drzewem, krzewami i płotem okalającym małe pastwisko z wołem. Przed gospodą maciora i sześć prosiąt spożywające jadło w korycie, obok dwa ptaki i pies w kolczastej obroży warczący na wędrowca. Faunę dopełniają dzięcioł i puszczyk siedzące na gałęziach korony drzewa. Dopełnieniem kompozycji jest rozległy krajobraz, który tworzą pola uprawne, piaszczyste wydmy i pojedyncze drzewa. Obraz charakteryzuje się głębią przestrzeni, wieloplanowością oraz monochromatycznym kolorytem oscylującym wokół szarości i stonowanych żółci, ugrów, umbr i barw piasku.

Analiza
Rotterdamskie tondo w wielu miejscach przypomina przedstawienie wędrowca tworzące rewersy skrzydeł tryptyku Wóz z sianem, namalowanego w latach 1500–1502. Wspólną cechą obu dzieł jest główny bohater o zbliżonym ujęciu i upozowaniu, oraz bogate treści oscylujące wokół tematu zagrożenia ludzkiej duszy. Do tej treści nawiązuje groźnie spoglądający i warczący na pielgrzyma pies; szczekanie psa symbolizowało złośliwą obmowę, która rysuje się w rozmowie pary stojącej za oknem gospody. Sama gospoda w oczach Boscha nie tylko jest zobrazowaniem grzechu, lecz także symbolizuje życie doczesne, jego kres poświadczają liczne zniszczenia budynku. Odczucie, iż gospoda ma charakter dość podejrzany podkreśla fakt zachowania jej gospodarzy, prócz obmawiających, w zachowaniu stojącej przy drzwiach pary emanuje bezwstyd, która w sposób ostentacyjny okazuje wzajemne, cielesne pożądanie. Seksualne znaczenie posiadają również niektóre przedmioty, według części badaczy takie treści zawierają kij, drewniana chochla, sztylet, szydło, natomiast gołębnik na strychu i klatka z ptakiem interpretowane były jako znaki nieładu moralnego.

Tytułowy wędrowiec ulega rozterkom wywołanym przez konfrontację z doczesnymi pokusami utrudniającymi misję, którą sobie powierzył główny bohater. Jednocześnie wyraża swoją uprzejmość wobec mieszkańców wsi i zmierza w dalszą wędrówkę, co pogłębia dylemat (którego symbolem jest ukazanie obok ptaków o przeciwstawnych treściach symbolicznych; puszczyka i dzięcioła będących symbolami herezji i zbawienia) w uczuciach bohatera czy pójść w stronę pobliskiego szynku, czy w stronę symbolicznej bramy prowadzącej w daleką przestrzeń. Rozległy krajobraz oznaczać może raj, zaś bramka jest aluzją do słów Jezusa wspomnianych w Ewangelii według świętego Jana "Ja jestem bramą, jeżeli ktoś wejdzie przeze mnie będzie zbawiony – wejdzie, wyjdzie i znajdzie paszę". Co za tym część badaczy interpretuje tytułowego bohatera jako syna marnotrawnego, który po swoim rozpustnym trybie życia odzyskuje duchową świadomość i pragnienie powrotu do swojego ojca.

Obraz interpretowany jest także w kontekście literackim. Wędrowiec symbolizuje Niemanda, czyli Nikogo, będącym tytułowym bohaterem poematu pióra Jörga Schana ze Strasburga. "Nikt – oto moje imię, dźwigam przekleństwo występków Każdego". Temat Niemanda przyjął się w kulturze zachodnich Niemiec i Niderlandów, m.in. w niektórych epizodach Statku głupców Sebastiana Branta czy Pochwały głupoty Erazma z Rotterdamu. Ubogi wędrujący człowiek był parabolą zmienności i niestałego charakteru człowieka.

Nawiązania
Treść obrazu jest kanwą fabuły piosenki Jacka Kleyffa "Bosch", a także (wraz z obrazem Rembrandta) inspiracją dla piosenki Jacka Kaczmarskiego (wykonywanej głównie przez Przemysława Gintrowskiego) "Syn Marnotrawny".

Instagram adds Live Photo-to-Boomerang, wider colors for iPhone 7/7+
Now you can post GIFs to Instagram Stories even if you didn't shoot them in its standalone app Boomerang. Apple Live Photos can now be converted into Boomerangs.
Meanwhile, new iPhone owners can share even more vividly, as Instagram on iPhone 7 and 7 Plus now supports wide color capture and display. Today Instagram co-founder Mike Krieger announced the new features have been almost full rolled out, and don't require an app update.
Instagram first announced a series of iPhone 7-specific features back in September at the device's unveiling, including the wider colors and Live Photo conversion to Boomerang, as well as a special color filter, one-finger zoom on the 7 Plus, and instant access to the Instagram Stories camera with 3D touch.
The new colors may be tough to see, but they're there. This GIF shows how Instagram's iPhone 7 color filter can bring out the extra hues it now captures.
[Update 1/8/2016: Krieger has now published an Instagram engineering blog post explaining how the app makes wide color display and capture work. He also included a link to a "canary" image that signals whether you're looking at a screen with wide color support. If you aren't, you'll just see a red square in the image below, but if you do have a wide color screen like the iPhone 7 or 7 Plus, you'll see the Instagram logo in darker red in the square. Interestingly, it appears Twitter converts wide color images to standard sRGB but preserves some 'relative' color of how it's supposed to appear, so if you upload this flat red image to Twitter, you'll see the IG logo even on non-wide color screens.]
To turn a Live Photo into a Boomerang, first open the Instagram Stories camera, swipe up to upload something from your camera roll, and select one of your Live Photos shot in the last 24 hours. Then while previewing it before you post, give a forceful 3D Touch to the screen, you'll see a little loading wheel, and then the Live Photo will appear as a back-and-forth Boomerang you can share in your Story.
To turn a Live Photo into a Boomerang, open Instagram Stories, swipe up, select a Live Photo, 3D touch on the full-screen preview, and it will be converted into a Boomerang
With Instagram competing directly with Snapchat via Stories, Facebook's photo app is trying to get every edge it can. While Snapchat specializes in goofy selfie lenses and illustrated geofilters for special places, Instagram has opted for a more artful and international approach, with different drawing brushes and location stickers that work for anywhere around the world.

AFC South Preview Series: 2016 Jacksonville Jaguars
August 4, 2016 1 CommentJacksonville Jaguars, NFL PreviewsBy Matt Danely
The AFC South is shaping up to be one of the more intriguing divisions in the NFL. Matt Danely begins a four-part series breaking down each team to explain how that team has been developing and their expected impact on the division. Next up is the 2016 Jacksonville Jaguars; read his previous articles on the Indianapolis Colts here and the Houston Texas here.
The current state of the AFC South is the topic of much conversation, and for good reason: All four teams in the division have their quarterback; the roster-wide talent gap is shrinking; and none of the coaching staffs should reasonably feel as if their jobs are safe. Each team has built their rosters differently over the past five years, each paving a different road to their present-day status in the division.
The AFC South is considered by some to be developing into one of the more competitive divisions in the league, though others take a more measured approach to the recent influx of talent, seeing the teams as still a year or two away heading into the 2016 season. Compared to where the division was just a handful of years ago, however, there's reason to believe that a massive improvement across the board is a very real possibility.
With that in mind, let's dig in to how this team, the Jacksonville Jaguars, have built their roster and how that has, in turn, affected the coaching staff. Together – through this series – we'll see if we can find which team used the best approach, which of them have set themselves up for failure, and who is still missing some key pieces in their quest to build a perennial division champion. We've covered the Houston Texans and Indianapolis Colts; now we dive into the Jaguars.
How the Jaguars Got Here
As the Jaguars prepare for training camp, they head into the 2016 season as the only team of the four yet to wear the AFC South crown. While their success has been limited to wild card berths (2005, 2007) in the first 14 seasons in the division, their history has been marred by really bad teams with very poor results for the overwhelming majority of their existence. Many forget, however, that prior to the divisional realignments which sent the organization to the AFC South from the AFC Central, the team was uncommonly successful for an expansion team in its infancy.
Under first-time head coach, Tom Coughlin, the Jaguars improved from a 4-12 inaugural season to squeezing out a wild card berth with a 9-7 record in their second season as a franchise. Not only did they wriggle into the postseason, the Jaguars took out the Buffalo Bills (30-27) and Denver Broncos (30-27) as major underdogs and earned a trip to the AFC Championship Game. Quarterback Mark Brunell threw for over 4,000 yards in that 1996 season, a great passing season even by today's NFL standards, with the help of his duo of 1,000-yard receivers – Jimmy Smith and Keenan McCardell.
Over the next three seasons, the Jaguars put up fantastic records, combining for a 36-12 regular season output, three more trips to the playoffs, two division titles, another trip to the AFC title game which included one of the largest margins of victory in the playoffs over the 1999 Miami Dolphins.
It's the following 16 seasons that most of us associate with the franchise though. Including the final two seasons with Coughlin at the helm. SInce then Jack Del Rio, Mike Mularkey, and now Gus Bradley have combined for a 101-155 (.394) record and only two playoff appearances.
Since the 2012 season that saw a change in ownership from Wayne Weaver to Shahid Khan and Mularkey's lame-duck season, the organization has featured a massive influx of talent attempting to alter the direction of the team for the foreseeable future under Bradley. A dynamic offense now exists in Duval County with Blake Bortles, Allen Robinson, Allen Hurns and Julius Thomas along with a more complete backfield – one that has been no better than 21st in the league DVOA since 2011 – with T.J. Yeldon and Chris Ivory.
Defensively the Jaguars have only managed to field one top-10 defense in DVOA since the 2007 season, with six of those seasons landing at 24th in the league or worse. Theoretically, the landscape has changed drastically as they look ahead to the future. Bradley is a defensive coach who has yet to hit his stride in game planning or success. The linebacking corps has veteran leadership with Paul Posluszny in the back end of his career, and also has one of the most exciting young stars with Telvin Smith appearing to hit his stride as he moves into his third season.
Recent draft selections such as Dante Fowler, Michael Bennett, James Sample, Jalen Ramsey, Myles Jack, Yannick Ngakoue, and Sheldon Day will be expected to complete this defense in the vision of Bradley, as well as to the expectations of Khan and the Jaguars' fan base. Additionally, the offseason's free agent spending spree and maneuvers with the coaching staff further enhance the expectations for this unit after adding Malik Jackson (DT), Tashaun Gipson (S), and Prince Amukamara (CB) while making Todd Wash defensive coordinator and adding Monte Kiffin as an assistant to the staff as well.
Across the board, the Jaguars may just have the most talented defensive unit, as well as an ascending offense in the division. Pulling it all together is obviously the name of the game but, if they can get all of their talent on the same page as their coaching staff, a great season reminiscent to those of the late '90s teams may be on the horizon.
Where Are They Struggling?
I don't think that it's any secret that the Jaguars have had issues with both running the ball and scoring on the ground, as well as stopping the opposition from running all over them and scoring heavily in kind. Under Bradley, the Jaguars have been ranked no higher than 21st in rush yards throughout a season and have topped out at 15th in the league in rush yards allowed. Not exactly locking it down.
Throughout Bradley's first three seasons at the helm, they're also allowing 16.7 rushing touchdowns per season (never climbing above 16th in the league), and are only running it in the end zone seven times a season on their own behalf, which at their best under Bradley was 24th against the NFL in 2014.
Recent additions of Jack (Round 2, pick 5, 36th overall), Ngakoue (Round 3, pick 6, 69th overall), Day (Round 4, pick 5, 103rd overall), and Malik Jackson (FA) will be expected to assist in clogging the middle to keep opposing rushing attacks under wraps moving forward.
On the other hand, Ivory (FA) was brought in to assist Yeldon in getting the team's proverbial legs going in those short-yardage and red zone opportunities – so as not to have to rely on Bortles, who connected on just 10 of 26 throws for touchdowns inside the red zone in the fourth quarter or OT. So if the Jaguars can get consistent scoring from their running backs, that could help Bortles's growth as a quarterback by reducing pressure.
It'll be no small task to rejuvenate the trenches on both sides of the ball, but it is as pertinent an area in their game for some major improvements.
Can the Coaching Staff Find Their Legs?
Not only is this the most important conclusion left to be determined, it's the most widely disputed amongst fans. Bradley was brought in with the hopes of turning the Jaguars defense into the Seahawks of the southeast. Despite the assumption that the Seahawks' defense made an overnight meteoric rise to the top of the NFL, the truth is somewhat to the contrary.
Bradley was a holdover in the transition from Jim Mora to Pete Carroll from 2009 to 2010, and the defense actually took a step backward, allowing more yards and points per game despite drafting Kam Chancellor, Walter Thurmond, and Earl Thomas. However, in Carroll's second season at the helm, things came together nicely.
The three aforementioned DBs turned out to be as good as advertised, and they turned out a couple of very solid linebackers in K.J. Wright and Malcolm Smith as well as one of the best cornerbacks in the game (Richard Sherman); they found some immediate depth at the position as well with Byron Maxwell. The 2012 draft was similar in that it produced quality starters, with depth defenders getting mixed in with highly productive free agent additions.
A large measure of luck has been attached to the perception of success of that 2010 season, and taking the next step in 2011 came primarily through hitting on more than five draft picks in the fourth-round or later in back-to-back drafts – something of a rarity. The scheme which the Seahawks, and now the Jaguars, use is highly dependent upon having the right talent in the right positions with a large serving of chemistry and intelligence.
This is where the differences come in between the two processes and how the rosters matured.
Bradley did attempt drafting similarly to the template used in Seattle. He went heavy on defensive backs and linebackers in his first two drafts while trying to complement those selections with free agents along the line and attempting to find stop-gap edge players or LEOs in his system. The problem is that very few were the right scheme fits and most failed to live up to their projections, while still others simply weren't talented enough. The roster needed so much help offensively that it could not go ignored.
Bradley did nail a fifth-round pick in Telvin Smith and found some solid contributors with Ryan Davis and Aaron Colvin in that heavy offensive draft of 2014. In 2015 Bradley had the opportunity to get back to the defense, taking Dante Fowler in the first round, who was lost early in minicamp to injury, but pulled in James Sample and Michael Bennett who look to be better fits than their predecessors. While the 2016 class has yet to show what it can contribute, Bradley did manage to get two first-round talents in the haul of a virtual all defensive draft.
As of now the Jaguars ultimately have three first-round talents starting out their careers together on a defense that has been taking baby steps early in Bradley's tenure; it now has a far better supporting free agent cast to assist in taking the next step. For such a young, talented group, pure chemistry and coaching will be absolutely paramount to the growth of the unit. The addition of Kiffin to the defensive staff could expedite the learning curve for the young defenders.
When all is said and done, the offense needs to continue to improve in all aspects of the game and the defense will have to show real steps toward being a top-10 defense in order to be taken seriously. The talent is there, that part isn't debatable. Now, can the coaching mold that talent into what is needed to compile the top-to-bottom roster, similar to that of which Bradley left to take on for his own team in Jacksonville?
For Bradley's sake, he better hope it can, because if this roster doesn't at least find itself at .500 or above by Week 12, Bradley will spend the remainder of the season coaching for his job regardless of his offseason extension.

Wow! LOL! She needs to get it together.


The customer approached Macawber for developing a solid solution for the unique challenge of both an abrasive and corrosive environmental conditions in their copper ore processing plant outside the large copper mine located near Liaocheng in Shangdong Province, China. Due to other systems in the processing plant, including chemical processing systems and open mechanical conveying systems of questionable quality, the customer decided to take the first step in developing a cleaner plant and selected several Macawber pneumatic conveying systems for processing the various materials used in copper processing. Copper concentrate is a minimally processed ore product and one of the materials the customer chose to handle using Macawber systems.
Macawber solution selected for superior performance in very poor environments.
Resistance to abrasion is superior to competitive offerings.
Selection of wear and corrosion resistant ancillary equipment for use directly with the pneumatic conveying system was provided by Macawber.

A Brief History of Island Heights
Once a major waterway, the creek on the north side of Island Heights is what first made the island noteworthy to ships navigating into Toms River. In 1762 the Dillon family took ownership of the whole island, and the remains of their first house can be found within a much altered structure on the northeast section of the island. In later years it was divided into the Brinley, Hurry, and Westray farms.
In 1878 the Island Heights Association was formed by the Rev. Jacob Graw and 12 other ministers and 17 businessmen to purchase land from the Brinley farm to develop into one of the nine Methodist Camp Meeting communities in New Jersey. The Association quickly cleared a site at the peak of the 60 foot bluff overlooking the Toms River and constructed cottages and a tabernacle so that thousands of people would converge on Island Heights late in the summer of 1878 for the first religious camp meetings.
In addition to promoting the religious aspects of this new community, the incorporators were quite keen on real estate development potential for such a location. The land was carefully blocked into salable lots and promotions were run in Philadelphia and the surrounding areas. Before long the community became known for its yachting activities and seashore pleasures, and many grand "cottages" were being built. However, because of its Methodist origins no liquor was (nor still is) allowed to be sold within the boundaries of the town.
As the development succeeded, the Westray and Hurry farms were annexed to Island Heights, which eventually became a borough in 1887. Because of the quality of the original architecture and the preservation of the remnants of that era, Island Heights is now on the State and National Registers of Historic Sites and the Victorian ambience of a bygone time flavors our lives.

The study explored the impact of aspects of physical health, such as body weight, heart health and blood pressure, to see whether people with poorer physical health went on to be less happy and less satisfied with their lives.
It has been proven in previous studies that individuals who are happier and more satisfied with their lives tend to have better physical health and also live longer than those who have lower mental well-being. But one cannot tell whether it is the steady physical health that leads to a sense of happiness and fulfillment or is it the other way round.
For the study, the scientists used a technique called Mendelian randomization. The team asked whether poorer physical health causes lower mental well-being, or whether individuals with lower mental well-being are more likely to go on to have later problems with their physical health.
This technique helped them understand the sequence by using genetic variants that have been associated with physical health and mental well-being. Unlike previous methods, this technique helps to rule out the influence of other factors that might be causing both physical health and mental well-being.
Team tested 11 measures of physical health including coronary artery disease, heart attack, cholesterol, blood pressure, body fat and Body Mass Index (BMI).
Higher BMI on lower mental well-being were found to have a consistent causal effect. There was little evidence that other physical health traits were leading to less happiness and life satisfaction.
The same pattern of results was seen in a follow-up analysis using the UK Biobank cohort of over 300,000 individuals aged 40 to 70 years old. Here the authors were able to look at different aspects of life satisfaction and found that the key impact of higher BMI was on lower satisfaction with health. They were also able to show that the effect is present from age 40 through to age 70, and in both men and women.
Dr Claire Haworth, the senior author of the study, added, "Results so far highlight the pressing need to tackle the obesity crisis because higher BMI is causing the population to be less happy and less satisfied with their lives. This information could be immediately useful to clinicians encouraging patients to maintain a healthy weight."
Here are some dietary tips recommended by our consultant nutritionist Rupali Datta, to manage obesity better.
1. Swap refined carb sources for whole grains. A whole grain is a grain of any cereal that contains the endosperm, germ, and bran, in contrast to refined grains, which retain only the endosperm. A whole grain manages to retain all the nutrients that are processed in the refining. Stock up on whole grains like bajra, ragi, maize and jowar and use them often. Try red, black and brown rice instead of white rice .You can use these whole grains for breakfast porridges.
2. Just like grains, whole dals are also a better bet than the washed dals. Rajma, and chana dals are some of the healthiest dals you can fill up your shelves with. You can cook them, have them in sprouts or in soups.
3. Avoid red meat and opt for lean meat like chicken and salmon. Adding protein with every meal could prove to be a game changer for anyone trying to lose weight.
4. Load up on seasonal vegetables. They provide both soluble and insoluble fibres in addition to vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.
5. Stay away from trans fats as they are one of the biggest culprits of growing instances of obesity globally. Fast food, instant food, fried junk, cookies, pasta, burger and noodles- these trans-fats are spread all across us.


Blue Crab Forum > General Crabbing > General Discussion > Topic: Hard To Believe!
So last Thursday Amy and I go crabbing and do real well but thats not what this is really about.
So this morning I'm outside doing some things and I go in the grass along side the driveway. All of a sudden I look down and see this crab in the grass. Well I think to myself, poor guy must have gotten out and I didn't notice you, well I go to touch him and all of a sudden he tries to pinch me !!! He is still alive !!! Now remember I said last Thursday, so that is 6 full days out of the water. Now I know its been cool and damp but thats seems really hard to believe.
Don't tell God how big your mountain is. Tell your mountain how big your God is !
I believe it. Wasn't six days but I had a similar experience.
I had one in the boat for a week. We had a stowaway from the week earlier still in the boat. I returned him back to the water. I figured he deserved it.
Very cool. Dew on the grass probably kept him alive.
I'm sure you meant well, but once they've been out of the water for a couple of days you may as well add him to the pot and eat him. When you put them back in the water they die in a about 10 minutes.
Never cooked just one crab before but he's in a pot on the stove right now. Hated to see him go to waste.
I believe it too... Years ago I was out to the edge of the marsh doing some work with my loader. When I rinsed the bucket it must have picked up a small crab. The loader was parked out in the summer Sun for over a week with only the morning dew as water. I don't know if the crab lived or died but it sure looked happy when I put him in the creek.
I think it has something to do with their lungs drying out.
I have had a similiar experience as well,found a crab near our shed a week after crabbing.

The Best Movies of 2022 (So Far)
Well, folks, the year is already half over, so we here at JoBlo figured now would be a good time to look back at some of the year's movies and figure out what ones are sitting at the top of the heap as far as the first half of 2022 is concerned. One thing to note is that films are back in business, with Top Gun: Maverick, Jurassic World: Dominion, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and more opening to the boffo box office. Indeed, the theatrical experience isn't as dead as people thought, and hopefully, this trend continues as the year goes on.
But, without any further ado, here are the movies we think are the best of the year (so far):
Joseph Kosinski's long-delayed Top Gun sequel was everything fans have been hoping for – and then some. Unabashedly old-fashioned, in that it focuses on telling a story by adopting a classic three-act structure instead of checking the boxes Twitter tells us need to be checked, the film has turned out to be a game-changing success. It's the biggest moneymaker of Tom Cruise's career, reinvigorated the legacy sequel genre, and proven that if you want to make a billion bucks at the box office, superheroes aren't your only option.
As much as the success of Top Gun: Maverick has us optimistic about the state of non-superhero movies in theaters, the underperformance of Robert Eggers' The Northman has us worried. We pushed this movie hard on JoBlo, and I stand by the fact that it's the greatest Viking movie ever made and perhaps the best historical action movie since Ridley Scott's Kingdom of Heaven (director's cut, of course). This should have been Alexander Skarsgard's Gladiator, but it's kicking ass on VOD. Still, it's best appreciated in a theater, so if you can see it that way, please don't miss out. It's a masterpiece.
All due respect to our other resident film critic, JimmyO, who gave Elvis a mixed 6/10, but Baz Luhrmann's Elvis Presley biopic is a stunner. While I have a few caveats, namely that Tom Hanks plays Colonel Parker like Gollum in Lord of the Rings, Austin Butler's performance as The King is the acting job of the year so far. He nails the voice and does all of his own singing in the part of the movie that takes place in the fifties. I was especially moved by the third act, depicting his downfall and addictions, but I also loved that Luhrmann draws allusions between superheroes and Elvis, plus the soundtrack is incredible. I wish it were a bit longer as they gloss over his acting career (which was substantial), but then again, we may get a director's cut one day.
This A24 charmer came out of nowhere to become the year's biggest sleeper hit. Michelle Yeoh stars as a woman forced to navigate the multiverse (and do her taxes), and the movie-making duo The Daniels have made something that will probably be called a classic in the years to come. Yeoh is outstanding in a role that takes advantage of her martial arts prowess, but for me, the show was stolen by former Indiana Jones sidekick Ke Huy Quan as her harried and good-hearted husband.
While I still think it's a half-hour too long, Matt Reeves' noirish take on The Batman was one of the movies to pump air back into the box office, and as expected, Robert Pattinson made for the perfect detective-style Batman. The score by Michael Giacchino is the best of the year (so far), and I loved the world Reeves' built with this one. While I maintain this is far from the best Batman movie, I still think that Reeves and Pattinson, with the sequels, have the potential to make the movie that finally unseats The Dark Knight…but it hasn't happened yet.
This one wasn't quite the bonkers phenomenon everyone expected, with this meta-comedy starring Nicolas Cage as Nic Cage more…normal…than anyone expected. Still, it's Nic Cage at his most knowingly weird, but Pedro Pascal comes perilously close to stealing the movie as the world's biggest Nicolas Cage fan (after me, of course).
The Contractor
The Chris Pine action movie came and went with nary a peep, getting a tiny theatrical release alongside an on-demand VOD release. That's too bad because this character-driven action thriller offers us Pine's best role since Hell or High Water and effectively re-teams him with his co-star from that movie, Ben Foster. For a double dose of Pine, also check out his Prime Video movie, All the Old Knives, although, for my money, this one is the better of the two.
I'm hit and miss on horror movies, but Scott Derrickson's The Black Phone, based on the story by Joe Hill, blew me away. Ethan Hawke is terrifying as "The Grabber," a serial killer preying on children, but alas, he chooses the wrong one when his latest victim can communicate with the spirits of the other kids he killed – all of whom want payback. It's simultaneously nostalgic (it's set in the seventies), scary and even touching. It's a gem and one of the best movies Blumhouse has ever made, which is good because their recent Firestarter remake was BAD.
The box office failure of Michael Bay's Ambulance scared me, as this is precisely the kind of turn-your-brain-off popcorn movie I like. It tanked utterly, but I maintain that if you're looking for a dose of adrenaline, you can't go wrong with this awesome action flick, which features a scenery-chewing Jake Gyllenhaal in a rare action role.
While I'm hit and miss on Marvel movies, it can't be denied that Sam Raimi re-established himself as an A-lister by bringing some horror-tinged anarchy to the MCU. We also got a few tantalizing glimpses of the multiverse, promising big things to come. I didn't love it – but I liked it.
Anyway – that's our top 10. Let us know in the comments what you think the best movies of 2022 are so far!
Thor: Love & Thunder Opening Night Box Office Is 2nd Highest Of 2022
'Tron': THR's 1982 Review
Hitting the three-quarter-century mark usually means a retirement home, a nursing facility, or if you're lucky to be blessed with relatively good health and savings to match, living in a gated community in Arizona or Florida.
For Sylvester Stallone, however, it means something else entirely: starring in the first superhero-centered film of his decades-long career in the much-delayed Samaritan. Unfortunately for Stallone and the audience on the other side of the screen, the derivative, turgid, forgettable results won't get mentioned in a career retrospective, let alone among the ever-expanding list of must-see entries in a genre already well past its peak.
For Stallone, however, it's better late than never when it involves the superhero genre. Maybe in getting a taste of the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe) with his walk-on role in the Guardians of the Galaxy sequel several years ago, Stallone thought anything Marvel can do, I can do even better (or just as good in the nebulous definition of the word).
The property Stallone and his team found for him, Samaritan, a little-known graphic novel released by a small, almost negligible, publisher, certainly takes advantage of Stallone's brute-force physicality and his often underrated talent for near-monosyllabic brooding (e.g., the Rambo series), but too often gives him to little do or say as the lone super-powered survivor, the so-called "Samaritan" of the title, of a lifelong rivalry with his brother, "Nemesis." Two brothers entered a fire-ravaged building and while both were presumed dead, one brother did survive (Stallone's Joe Smith, a garbageman by day, an appliance repairman by night).
In the Granite City of screenwriter Bragi F. Schut (Escape Room, Season of the Witch), the United States, and presumably the rest of the world, teeters on economic and political collapse, with a recession spiraling into a depression, steady gigs difficult, if not impossible, to obtain, and the city's neighborhoods rocked by crime and violence. No one's safe, not even 13-year-old Sam (Javon Walker), Joe's neighbor.
When he's not dodging bullies connected to a gang, he's falling under the undue influence of Cyrus (Pilou Asbæk), a low-rent gang leader with an outsized ego and the conviction that he and only he can take on Nemesis's mantle and along with that mantle, a hammer "forged in hate," to orchestrate a Bane-like plan to plunge the city into chaos and become a wealthy power-broker in the process.
Schut's woefully underwritten script takes a clumsy, haphazard approach to world-building, relying on a two-minute animated sequence to open Samaritan while a naive, worshipful Sam narrates Samaritan and Nemesis's supposedly tragic, Cain and Abel-inspired backstory. Schut and director Julius Avery (Overlord) clumsily attempt to contrast Sam's childish belief in messiah-like, superheroic saviors stepping in to save humanity from itself and its own worst excesses, but following that path leads to authoritarianism and fascism (ideas better, more thoroughly explored in Watchmen and The Boys).
While Sam continues to think otherwise, Stallone's superhero, 25 years past his last, fatal encounter with his presumably deceased brother, obviously believes superheroes are the problem and not the solution (a somewhat reasonable position), but as Samaritan tracks Joe and Sam's friendship, Sam giving Joe the son he never had, Joe giving Sam the father he lost to street violence well before the film's opening scene, it gets closer and closer to embracing, if not outright endorsing Sam's power fantasies, right through a literally and figuratively explosive ending. Might, as always, wins regardless of how righteous or justified the underlying action.
It's what superhero audiences want, apparently, and what Samaritan uncritically delivers via a woefully under-rendered finale involving not just unconvincing CGI fire effects, but a videogame cut-scene quality Stallone in a late-film flashback sequence that's meant to be subversively revelatory, but will instead lead to unintentional laughter for anyone who's managed to sit the entirety of Samaritan's one-hour and 40-minute running time.
Samaritan is now streaming worldwide on Prime Video.

According to a new report, Wandavision's Matt Shakman is in talks to direct the upcoming MCU project, Fantastic Four. Marvel Studios has been very hush-hush regarding Fantastic Four to the point where no official announcements have been made other than the film's release date. No casting news or literally anything other than rumors has been released regarding the project. We know that Fantastic Four is slated for release on November 8th, 2024, and will be a part of Marvel's Phase 6. There are also rumors that the cast of the new Fantastic Four will be announced at the D23 Expo on September 9th.
Just announced in Hall H:
Marvel Studios' Fantastic Four, in theaters November 8, 2024. #SDCC2022 pic.twitter.com/z4j7tsfKl9
— Marvel Entertainment (@Marvel) July 24, 2022
Fantastic Four is still over two years from release, and we assume we will hear more news about the project in the coming months. However, the idea of the Fantastic Four has already been introduced into the MCU. John Krasinski played Reed Richards aka Mr. Fantastic in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. The cameo was a huge deal for fans who have been waiting a long time for the Fantastic Four to enter the MCU. When Disney acquired Twenty Century Fox in 2019 we assumed that the Fox Marvel characters would eventually make their way into the MCU. It's been 3 years and we already have had an X-Men and Fantastic Four cameo – even if they were from another universe.
Deadline is reporting that Wandavision's Matt Shakman is in talks to direct Fantastic Four. Shakman served as the director for Wandavision and has had an extensive career. He directed two episodes of Game of Thrones and an episode of The Boys, and he had a long stint on It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. There is nothing official yet, but Deadline's sources say that Shakman is currently in talks for the job and things are headed in the right direction.
To be honest, I was a bit more excited when Jon Watts was set to direct. I'm sure Shakman is a good director, but Watts proved he could handle a tentpole superhero film with Spider-Man: Homecoming. Wandavision was good, but Watts' style would have been perfect for Fantastic Four. The film is probably one of the most anticipated films in Marvel's upcoming slate films and they need to find the best person they can to direct. Is that Matt Shakman? It could be, but whoever takes the job must realize that Marvel has a lot riding on this movie. The other Fantastic Four films were awful and fans deserve better. Hopefully, Marvel knocks it out of the park as they usually do. You can see for yourself when Fantastic Four hits theaters on November 8th, 2024.
Film Synopsis: One of Marvel's most iconic families makes it to the big screen: the Fantastic Four.
Dan Aykroyd and Chevy Chase have entered Zombie Town, a mystery teen romancer based on author R.L. Stine's book of the same name.
The indie, now shooting in Ontario, also stars Henry Czerny and co-teen leads Marlon Kazadi and Madi Monroe. The ensemble cast includes Scott Thompson and Bruce McCulloch of the Canadian comedy show Kids in the Hall.
Canadian animator Peter Lepeniotis will direct Zombie Town. Stine's kid's book sees a quiet town upended when 12-year-old Mike and his friend, Karen, see a horror movie called Zombie Town and unexpectedly see the title characters leap off the screen and chase them through the theater.
Zombie Town will premiere in U.S. theaters before streaming on Hulu and then ABC Australia in 2023.
"We are delighted to bring the pages of R.L. Stine's Zombie Town to the screen and equally thrilled to be working with such an exceptional cast and crew on this production. A three-time Nickelodeon Kids Choice Award winner with book sales of over $500 million, R.L. Stine has a phenomenal track record of crafting stories that engage and entertain audiences," John Gillespie, Trimuse Entertainment founder and executive producer, said in a statement.
Executive producers are Trimuse Entertainment, Toonz Media Group, Lookout Entertainment, Viva Pictures and Sons of Anarchy actor Kim Coates.
Paco Alvarez and Mark Holdom of Trimuse negotiated the deal to acquire the rights to Stine's Zombie Town book.


What type of agreements are available?
Generally speaking warehouse and light industrial premises are available on full repair and insure leases. This provides that once you take possession of a unit, you are responsible for all the running costs, maintenance, repair and redecoration of the unit for the duration of the lease, according to the terms of that lease. A licence agreement is an agreement that usually applies to flexible space such as a serviced office or storage space.
How long does an agreement last?
A typical lease would be for 5 or 10 years (or longer if required) although in some circumstances a 3 year option may be available. A licence to occupy is generally for a specified term of up to 1 year.
In a lease arrangement, the leaseholder (occupier) is responsible for all utilities and therefore should check the meter readings upon taking over the property and verify these with the relevant supplier. In a licence agreement the cost of utilities is usually included within the rent (although not exclusively). Please check with the landlord of the facility that you propose to occupy space in.
Who is responsible for business rates on the property?
In the case of a leasehold property, the leaseholder (occupier) is always responsible for the business rates. Where the agreement is a licence, this can either be the landlord or the leaseholder and you should check in each case. Typically, in serviced office space, the occupier is responsible for the business rates on the space they occupy.
What is the difference between rateable value and rates payable and how is this calculated?
Most business parks and industrial estates make a service charge which is your annual contribution to the general upkeep of the common parts of the estate that you have taken space on (for example, roads, drains, street lighting).It is additional to the rent. Business centres providing serviced office space typically include this in the rental payment that you make, rather than charge it separately. To be certain it is best to clarify this in advance.
