Red Dwarf is a British comedy franchise which primarily comprises twelve series and a feature-length special of a television science fiction sitcom that aired on BBC Two between 1988 and 1993 and from 1997 to 1999, and on Dave in 2009 and 2012 and from 2016 to the present, gaining a cult following. The series was created by Rob Grant and Doug Naylor.

The first six series were written by Grant and Naylor, while Series VII and VIII were written by Naylor with collaborations from other writers, and Series IX to XII and the 2020 special The Promised Land were written by Naylor alone. Series I and II were produced by Paul Jackson Productions (with Grant Naylor Productions taking over from Series III) for BBC North, and broadcast on BBC2. Red Dwarf first aired on 15 February 1988 and ended its original run on BBC2, by then rebranded BBC Two, on 5 April 1999 after eight series, with some PBS stations in the United States airing the entire eighth series earlier on 7 March. From 2009, Grant Naylor Productions produced new episodes for UKTV, which were broadcast on the TV channel Dave.

The series follows the fortunes of Dave Lister who is stranded three million years in the future, together with the hologrammatic representation of his former bunkmate and immediate superior Arnold Rimmer; a creature known only as Cat; and the ship's computer Holly. During Series II, the crew encounter a mechanoid called Kryten, who joins them from Series III onwards. In Series VI the Red Dwarf ship has been stolen from the crew, forcing them to travel in the smaller Starbug craft for two series. In Series VII Kristine Kochanski, Lister's former love interest, joins the crew, following the departure of Rimmer. In series VIII the entire crew of the Red Dwarf ship—including a pre-accident Rimmer—are resurrected, but the Starbug crew, along with Rimmer, find themselves sentenced to two years in the ship's brig for "abusing classified information". Series IX (Red Dwarf: Back to Earth) involves Lister, Rimmer (back as a hologram), Cat, and Kryten hallucinating that they've arrived on Earth in another dimension in the early 21st century, and Series X to XII sees the same four crew members continue their adventures back on Red Dwarf, Kochanski having departed due to Lister's descent into depression and Holly offline due to water damage. A back-up of Holly is installed in The Promised Land.

Series overview

Episodes

Red Dwarf I (1988)
The pilot script was written in 1983; the writing duo team of Grant and Naylor handed the finished script to their agent Paul Jackson who had trouble convincing the BBC to take on the series. Three years after the initial rejections, the script was accepted by BBC North West. The series almost did not happen due to an electricians' strike at the BBC in 1987 which prevented filming and thus the project was shelved. Filming eventually went ahead after the industrial action was resolved. A remastered version of this series was produced and broadcast in some countries.

Red Dwarf II (1988)
Realising that they were limited with stories based on the huge, but empty, mining ship of Red Dwarf, writers Grant and Naylor decided to go in a different direction for Series II. A small shuttle ship, Blue Midget, was designed to ferry the crew to and from different locations. The mechanoid, Kryten, appeared in the first episode as a one off. The writers had resisted using robot characters as they had considered the practice a sci-fi cliché. A remastered version of this series was produced and broadcast in some countries.

Red Dwarf III (1989)
With Grant and Naylor directly involved with the series' production (under Grant Naylor Productions) and a larger budget, they radically changed the look of the show. The opening credits sequence was changed. A new upbeat version of the theme tune played over clips from the series. A new official Red Dwarf logo also appeared at the end of the credit sequence. Starbug was introduced as the new spaceship in place of Blue Midget. The look of the series had been overhauled with the incoming Mel Bibby who had re-designed the old grey sets. Costumes were overhauled too, as designer Howard Burden brought in a new stylish look to the crew. A remastered version of this series was produced and broadcast in some countries.

There were a number of loose ends from the first two series, and changes in the third series, that were explained off by a text intro to the first show of Series III. This was done in the form of scrolling text across outer space, in a parody of the introductions to the Star Wars movies. The loose ends included the return of Kryten, Lister being pregnant, delivering twins Jim and Bexley, who grow up in a matter of days, then wind up in the parallel universe with the female version of Lister.

The regular cast changed for Series III: Robert Llewellyn came in as Kryten, and Hattie Hayridge replaced the departing Lovett as Holly. Craig Charles, Chris Barrie and Danny John-Jules remained as Lister, Rimmer and Cat, respectively.

The character of Kryten was originally intended as a one-off appearance in the series two episode "Kryten", but had returned mainly to broaden the story potential. The series was becoming difficult to write for. At the insistence of Naylor, Kryten returned to complete the team. They had approached David Ross with the intention of bringing him back to play the regular role of Kryten; but Ross was committed to the stage play A Flea in Her Ear and thus not available. Eventually, Grant and Naylor went to see Robert Llewellyn in the stage production Mammon: Robot Born of Woman, playing a robot; they saw his performance and were impressed.

Red Dwarf IV (1991)
Due to the old studio in Manchester undergoing refurbishment, the recording of Series IV moved to Shepperton Studios. The broadcast was not as originally intended; the BBC had decided to start off with the romantic story of "Camille" for Valentine's Day, while the outbreak of the Gulf War affected the series' running order, thus both the anti-war "Meltdown" and heroic Ace Rimmer's "Dimension Jump" were almost postponed.

Red Dwarf V (1992)
The series returned without regular director Ed Bye, who had agreed to direct The Full Wax, fronted by his wife Ruby Wax. New director Juliet May found it hard to work with the science fiction elements, which were much more involved and complex than in previous series and left before the series had completed. The remaining episodes were directed by Grant and Naylor.

Red Dwarf VI (1993)
The writing of Series VI was rushed, due to the fact that the BBC wanted the episodes completed as soon as possible. Grant and Naylor had originally hoped to both write and direct Series VI, but the rapid production schedule meant this was unfeasible, and Andy de Emmony was brought in to direct the series. The writers decided to make changes for the new series—Red Dwarf itself was written out, thus removing Hattie Hayridge as Holly—and the series was set entirely aboard Starbug. During the series, Rimmer would also obtain "hardlight", which would effectively give him a physical presence. For the first time in the series' history, a story arc was introduced and followed throughout the episodes, leading up to the series' cliffhanger.

Red Dwarf VII (1997)
After Series VI, co-creator and writer Rob Grant had decided to leave the series to pursue other non-Red Dwarf projects. Naylor continued with the series to build towards the often discussed movie, and expanded to eight episodes to meet US syndication requirements. To help with the expanding episode number, Naylor brought in the help of other writers such as Paul Alexander. Chris Barrie, disappointed with the hectic workload of Series VI, had decided to only take part in four of the episodes. Kochanski (now played by Chloë Annett) was brought back as a regular character.

Changes to the series itself were evident with the mix of science fiction and sit-com episodes throughout. This was an attempt by Naylor to move away from the "monster of the week" format that he felt Series VI suffered from. Ed Bye also returned to direct the series, after leaving due to scheduling clashes during Series V and VI. The studio audience was now removed from the series and, much like feature-length films, the episodes were mostly shot using one camera. Episodes were still videotaped, but were digitally processed to look like film, and although there was no live audience, a laughter track was later recorded at a screening of the episodes before an audience. The laughter track is only present on some episodes shown on the streaming service Netflix as of 2020.

Red Dwarf VIII (1999)
Having changed the look and format for Series VII, Naylor returned to the series' original roots for Series VIII. Writing the scripts himself, Naylor resurrected the original crew of Red Dwarf, along with Holly, this time played by Norman Lovett, and Chris Barrie as Rimmer. With the old cast and Red Dwarf itself now, the series returned to being videotaped in front of a studio audience, and ended on a cliffhanger that remained unresolved until 2009's Red Dwarf: Back to Earth. With 52 episodes, the series was now in a good position for international syndication and the prospect of a feature-length film increased.

KTEH, a Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) station in San Jose, California, broadcast the entire series on 7 March 1999. As a result, they broadcast the last five episodes of Series VIII before they were aired in the UK. "Cassandra" was also broadcast on other PBS stations on that date, as well.

Red Dwarf: Back to Earth (2009)

In 2009, UKTV channel Dave screened three new 25-minute specials to celebrate the 21st anniversary of the show. The new episodes form part of an effort by Dave to screen more original programming, instead of just repeats. The specials were made up of a three-part story, "Back to Earth", as well as a "Making-of" special. Originally, there were to be two episodes, a "Making-of" and a live show titled Red Dwarf: Unplugged. However, according to Robert Llewellyn on Twitter, the Live Show had been cancelled due to time and money, and that there would be three episodes instead. As with series 7, these episodes were not filmed in front of a live studio audience; however, unlike the seventh series, it was not shown to an audience at a later date to record the audience laughter.

Red Dwarf X (2012)

Red Dwarf returned for its first full series since 1999 in October 2012 for six new episodes written by Doug Naylor filmed before a live audience. It was released on DVD and Blu-ray on 19 November 2012. All four original cast members from Back to Earth reprised their roles.

Red Dwarf XI (2016)
It was confirmed on 2 May 2015 that an eleventh and twelfth series of Red Dwarf (consisting of six episodes each) would be filmed in late 2015 and early 2016 for Dave. After the announcement, Craig Charles resigned his role on Coronation Street to focus on filming for both new series. Red Dwarf XI began broadcast in September 2016.

Red Dwarf XII (2017)
Filming on Red Dwarf XII began in early 2016.

Red Dwarf: The Promised Land (2020)

UKTV announced in October 2019 that a feature-length special would see production, to air in 2020.

Unproduced scripts

"Bodysnatcher"

Originally to be the second episode of Series I, and would have involved Rimmer going insane trying to deal with his intangibility and attempting to build himself a new body by stealing parts of Lister's, and Lister trying to live with a hologram of himself. The former idea was, in a way, used in the episode "Bodyswap" in Series III, and the latter became the basis for "Me2" (with the plotline transferred from Lister to Rimmer), which filled the sixth spot in the first series after "Bodysnatcher" was dropped.

"Dad"
"Dad" was planned as the first episode of the show's third series, intended to be a direct continuation of the preceding episode, "Parallel Universe", the final episode of the second series. It was never filmed or even fully scripted; writers Rob Grant and Doug Naylor abandoned it halfway through writing it. Instead, a comically fast Star Wars opening crawl provided exposition for the episode "Backwards", which became the new Series III premiere.

An extract of the unfinished script of "Dad" was included on the DVD release Red Dwarf: The Bodysnatcher Collection alongside several other such extracts. In the same style as the eponymous "lost episode" "Bodysnatcher", the extract of "Dad" was animated in a storyboard style as the script itself was read by lead actor Chris Barrie (who, being a skilled impressionist, supplied the voices of all the characters).

In "Parallel Universe", Lister had slept with a female version of himself while in a parallel dimension and learned that he was pregnant, since in that particular dimension it is the men who bear children. "Dad" was to primarily deal with Lister's pregnancy, why former guest character Kryten had reappeared and become a regular member of the cast and what had happened to him, and why Holly's image had changed from a male to a female. The released script extract shows that "Dad" would not have followed the pre-credits sequence of "Backwards" to the letter. For example, Lister would not have been pregnant with twins: instead he would give birth to a single son. Also, apparently Lister would have rebuilt Kryten while "heavily pregnant", and not "shortly afterwards" as the pre-title "Backwards" scroll suggests. Additionally, unless male Holly actor Norman Lovett was to make a guest appearance in the episode it is likely that Holly would have first appeared as a female at the very beginning of the episode.

The script was ultimately rejected by the show's writers and producers, Rob Grant and Doug Naylor, who felt that the script was not as funny as previous episodes. In The Red Dwarf Programme Guide, Chris Howarth and Steve Lyons write that another reason "Dad" was rejected was because it was possibly sexist.

Jokes from the script were worked into other episodes. For example, Lister's revealing that he was abandoned at birth and Rimmer's subsequent speculation that Lister was the product of brother-sister incest was written into the episode "The Last Day".

"Identity Within"

This episode was going to be in Series VII but was replaced by "Duct Soup" for budgetary reasons. A reconstructed version of the episode (read by Chris Barrie) appears on the Series VII DVD release.
The Cat is fatally ill, with only one cure: he has to have sex. They travel to a GELF village, where a female cat called Aura is being held prisoner for auction. Lister, Rimmer and Kryten have to save Aura and get her to fall in love with the Cat before he dies from being a virgin. These events are loosely revisited in the Series XI finale "Can of Worms" where it's revealed that the Cat is a virgin and ends up losing his virginity to a Polymorph disguised as a fellow cat.

Feature film
Once Series VIII ended in 1999, Doug Naylor attempted to make a feature-length version of the show. A script was written, by Naylor, and flyers began circulating around certain websites. The flyer outlined the movie's plot, set in the distant future where Homo Sapienoids—a fearsome flesh-machine hybrid race—had taken over the solar system and were wiping out the human race. Spaceships that tried to escape Earth were hunted down until only one remained... Red Dwarf. Pre-production began in 2004 and filming was planned for 2005. However, sufficient funding was not forthcoming and production was put on hold.

American pilots
 See Red Dwarf#U.S. version
Two versions of a pilot episode for a proposed NBC version of Red Dwarf were produced in 1992—a complete episode and a partial episode with different cast members. Neither version aired, though excerpts from the first pilot appeared on the Red Dwarf V DVD set.

The Middle Kingdom began ~2050 BC when a family of Theban princes garnered hegemony over the entire nation by defeating a dynastic line from Heracleopolis. This victory was not complete until the reign of Mentuhotpe II, though his predecessors were later regarded as legitimate rulers of Egypt. The Middle Kingdom was an era of renaissance, trade, quarrying, mining and military campaigns.
May have been vizier to Mentuhotep IV.
The capital was moved to Itj-tawy near Faiyum, where brick pyramid tombs of the kings still stand. A system of co-regencies was established between the king and his succession, ensuring a peaceful transfer of power that gave the Twelfth Dynasty great stability. Also strengthening the Twelfth Dynasty was Egyptian king Sesostris III's reduction of wealthy local governors' power. Egypt's foreign contact increased, as shown by Egyptian objects found in Syria and Palestine. Egypt extended its southern frontier into Nubia and established fortresses in the Second Cataract region.
Amenemhat moved the royal residence north back to the Memphite area, founding a new capital called Itj-Tawy ('Seizer of the two Lands') near modern اللشط Lisht.
Recarving happened so frequently that if you looked like him with deepset eyes and whatnot means that it was much much much harder to recarve and reuse his statue, with all his centralized control and his personality.
Amenemhat III's earlier works are much like Senwosret III. As his reign progressed, however, the face changed while the body remained identical. The face developed flatter eyes and lesser lids, and lost the creased brow and downturn of the mouth. He depicted himself as very young - he kept a highly idealized look. The body stayed the same, including the line under the pectorals.
Originally Amenemhat III built a burial complex at دهشور Dahshur but when it collapsed he left it unfinished. His burial chamber was carved out of a single block of limestone, with traps on the sides that were emptied to allow sand to come in and fill it to prevent grave robbery. The burial chamber weighed four tons, that one piece of sandstone. This corresponded to his south temple. It featured the famous Labyrinth (attested by numerous ancient authors but now totally destroyed) and alsoa n aditional pyramid.
After the collapse at دهشور، Dahshur, Amenemhat III built his famous cult complex at Hawara in the Faiyum. It included a Labyrinth, pyramid, temple analogous to a south temple and a layout with a shrine for each of the 21 nomes of Egypt and a temple for each of the gods of Egypt.. This strongly recalled the Djoser Complex.
Amenemhat IV rode on his father's coattails without contributing much new. Sphinx of Amenemhat IV was recarved during the Ptolemaic period. Findspot was … Beirut? Could have been a later Islamic move.
Power began to decline after the reign of Ammenemes III.
The Middle Kingdom neared collapse.
End of the Middle Kingdom.
The deceased was a high official of the ancient administrative area, the Oryx. His titles include Overseer of the Eastern Desert (he held this position from Year 19 of Amenemhet II until at least Year 6 of Senwosret II), Hereditary Prince, Count of Menat Khufu, Overseer of priests.
The White Chapel is a small limestone chapel of King Senwosret I along the Nile.
Is this the Osiride statue from the Egyptian Museum? There is another at the Met from his pyramid at Lisht. Or Hrous and Seth motif from his pyramid acomplex at Lisht?
In the course of time many elite individuals added small chapels to the shrine to share in the offerings after their death.
Egyptian Museum. A lustrous statue.
Pieces that protrude are to support case of the pyramid.
From the funerary comple x of Senwosret III was found a necklace belonging to his daughter Mereret in stone and gold. Stunningly beautiful. Egyptian Museum.
A temple of the cobra-goddess Renenutet (a harvest deity) was founded during the reigns of Amenemhat III and IV (1855-1799 BC). It has a relief of Amenemhat III. It was later expanded and embellished during the Greco-Roman period.
At Hawara and دهشور Dahshur.
Known for its depictions of wrestling and sieges. There is also a scene where the folks are in the water, which is remarkable as a landmark event in perspective.. From the reign of Senwosret I. Like other tombs at بني حسن Beni Hassan, lots of images of wrestlers. Not to be confused with the king Amenemhat, this was a non-royal's tomb.
Painted limestone relief British Museum.
A painted wooden coffin. Inside the coffin was an extensive coffin text. Museum of Fine Arts in Boston.

Ida Baehr Lang
Ruchheim, Germany
Ida was born to Jewish parents who owned a dry goods store in a small town in the Rhine River valley. As a teenager, Ida loved to bicycle with her cousin, Luise, in the scenic valley. After graduating from school, Ida helped her parents run the store. When she was in her early twenties, she married Fritz Lang, who owned a dry goods store in nearby Lambsheim, where they lived.
1933-39: Ida and Fritz have hired a housekeeper to help take care of their new baby girl, Freya, while Ida works in the store. More and more Jews are leaving Germany now that the Nazi party is in power. Her mother-in-law has sailed for New York with Fritz's brother, and her dear cousin, Luise, just called to wish Ida goodbye. Fritz is hesitant to give up his business, and Ida doesn't know how she could ever leave her parents.
1940-42: Ida, Fritz and 6-year-old Freya have already been deported to two detention camps in France. When they arrived at the camp at Gurs, it was winter--cold and rainy--and they had only straw to sleep on. Freya came down with a high fever and severe earache and almost died. Now, at Rivesaltes, where they've been moved, they have a chance to get Freya out of the camp to safety through an aid society that is arranging to hide children with French families in the countryside. Ida says goodbye to Freya through the barbed-wire fence.
In September 1942, a few days after Freya left the camp, Ida was deported to Auschwitz, where she perished. Freya survived the war and was reunited with her father in 1946.

VICE Has Not Renewed Dark Side Of The Ring For Fourth Season
Thomas Lowson
VICE TV is yet to renew its series 'Dark Side of the Ring' for a fourth season.
Dark Side of the Ring has covered several of wrestling's most infamous moments, including the Owen Hart tragedy, the Chris Benoit double-murder suicide and the Plane Ride from Hell.
The show has come under scrutiny for its editing choices and AEW commentator Jim Ross has said he will no longer appear on any future episodes.
On the latest Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer noted that VICE currently has nothing on the table:
"I've not heard of them doing another season. The ratings were down for this season. But… the idea of not doing a season wouldn't be over Jim Ross and they will always be able to get guests. There might be some people who will say no. There were people who said no before to them. You don't get everyone.
"It's just a question if they can come up with viable topics, and they're renewed. It's still… Even though this prior season was like the big, really successful season, this one… But, you know, you still had some very good episodes in the last season and there's an endless supply of ideas that you can do. So, it's just up to VICE essentially greenlighting another season. But, I have not heard anything about another season."

Alex Pritz / Denmark, United States, Brazil / 2022 / 85 min / International Premiere
A network of government-backed farmers is eating into indigenous territory in the Brazilian rainforest, but a local activist and his team are fighting back with a video camera as a weapon.
Here is a film that can really get your blood boiling. In the Brazilian rainforest, a battle is being waged between the last of the indigenous Uru-eu-wau-wau tribe and the farmers who – with President Bolsonaro at their backs – are slowly eating into their otherwise protected territory. But young activist and leader Bitate has no intention of giving up without a fight. Together with his mentor, Neidinha, he is mobilising an army of self-taught journalists to patrol the jungle and catch the land grabbers in action. With a video camera as their only weapon against the chainsaws, Bitate and his men risk their lives to stop the clearing of the forest before it's too late. 'The Territory' is a highly dramatic documentary in which the battle between right and wrong runs the gamut of emotions, but above all it is a furious and phenomenally compelling tale of courage and resistance.
F:act Award
March 27: At the premiere in Grand Teatret you can meet the film's director Alex Pritz, Uru-eu-wau-wau activist Bitate and environmental and Luiza Rabelo, International Forrest Adviser, World Wildlife Fund when we discuss the impact of deforestation in the Amazon on both the climate and the indigenous population.

Deadlines Looming For Vaccination Mandate Compliances At Work And Schools – Deadline
In the next few weeks, government mandated vaccination requirements will hit their deadlines, requiring a "choose it or lose it" job decision for many workers, school kids, and municipal employees.
The decision on whether to take an injection of the Moderna, Pfizer, or Johnson & Johnson vaccines has already led many film and television teams, health care workers, retail and wholesale employees and media to leave their jobs.
But things are about to reach a head, as police, firefighters and other critical positions are facing deadlines to comply in the coming weeks. A mass refusal by public safety workers could spark a crisis in many cities.
Federal contractors are required to have workers fully vaccinated by Dec. 8, 2021. However, the mandate means workers need to be fully vaccinated, which is two weeks after the vaccine dose is administered, putting the actual time line at complying on Nov. 24, 2021. Those who get a Pfizer or Moderna vaccine need to build in time for two doses, as well as the recommended waiting period between doses.
That 21 days for Pfizer, 28 days for Moderna.
Legal challenges to the mandates have largely failed to halt their progress. NPR reports that across the country, employers are firing workers for refusing to comply with vaccine mandates, while some are opting to quit their jobs rather than take the shot.
While the totals are still a tiny fraction of overall employees, it can add up to thousands of people in many states, NPR noted.
For Hollywood, companies ranging from WarnerMedia to CNN to Facebook and Google have mandated that employees who work from their offices be vaccinated. However, many are still offering a work-from-home option, lessening the impact.
Film and TV productions are generally leaving it up to producers. Under an agreement reached this summer, producers have "the option to implement mandatory vaccination policies for casts and crew" on a production-by-production basis."
Potential disruptions to school operations in the Los Angeles Unifired School District has already caused its staff deadline to be pushed back. The new deadline for all workers to be fully immunized for COVID-19 is now Nov. 15. Students will be allowed a grace period this semester, but must be fully vaccinated to return to in-person schooling for the January start of the second half of the school year.

4-year-old boy, grandparents survive Illinois plane crash
Workers prepare the wrecked plane for transport Wednesday, March 13, 2019, in Waterloo, Ill. The family who survived the Tuesday plane crash near Waterloo are from Alabama and were taken to area hospitals with minimal injuries. (Derik Holtmann/Belleville News-Democrat via AP)
WATERLOO, Ill. (AP) — Authorities say a 4-year-old boy and his grandparents were rescued after their small plane crashed in southern Illinois.
The fixed-wing, single-engine Piper PA-32 was traveling from Mobile, Alabama, when it went down Tuesday in rural Monroe County on its way to St. Louis Downtown Airport in Cahokia, Illinois.
The plane, piloted by 62-year-old Michael Stodard of Fairhope, Alabama, crashed into the yard of Waterloo police officer Trin Daws. The officer says he and another man broke the plane's windows with a fire extinguisher and pulled the boy out.
Sheriff's Maj. Jim Lansing says the boy, his grandmother and his grandfather were talking when they were taken to hospitals. He says they suffered injuries that weren't life-threatening.
Lansing says the grandmother, 61-year-old Angel Stodard, told authorities a warning light went on, oil was spewing onto the windshield and they couldn't see.

He composed five symphonies, the ballets Metamorphoses (after Ovid, 1913) and Tyl Ulenspiegel (after C. de Coster, 1936), symphonic works, and works for voice and orchestra. In several works he drew on the musical folklore of peoples of the USSR, notably in the Symphony No. 4 (Turksib Symphony, 1933), based on Kazakh and Kirghiz folk themes, and the Symphony No. 5 (1942), a rhapsody on Uzbek themes. Shteinberg was also known as a conductor.
In 1908, Shteinberg began teaching at the St. Petersburg (later Leningrad) Conservatory, where he became a professor in 1915. He served as dean of the faculty of composition from 1917 to 1931 and head of the division of conducting from 1931 to 1934; in 1939 he was named head of the subdepartment of composition.

Holy sh*t, Beyoncé and Jay Z just dropped a surprise album
By Adam Rosenberg 2018-06-16 22:13:54 UTC
Sad about missing Beyoncé and Jay Z's "On the Run II" tour? Well, now you don't have to be.
Not exactly, anyway. The wife-and-husband power duo surprise released a new album — exclusively for Tidal, of course — on Saturday afternoon. The long-rumored joint album bears the title "Everything Is Love."
SEE ALSO: Tiffany Haddish all-but-confirms who bit Beyoncé, providing the answers we've been waiting for
To whet the appetites of all those non-Tidal subscribers out there, Bey shared a video snippet from one of the album's nine tracks on Instagram. In the video, which is for a track called "APES**T," she and Jay wander around the Louvre in a variety of different outfits while dancers do their thing.
At least, I think it's the Louvre. At one point, the couple appears standing in front of the Mona Lisa. Leonardo da Vinci's best-known work lives in the famed French art museum.
A post shared by Beyoncé (@beyonce) on Jun 16, 2018 at 2:29pm PDT
Bey also posted a pair of images, one of which appears to be the new album's cover (as evidenced by the parental advisory warning label).
Tidal subscribers, you can find the new album right here.

Home Diazepam Nasal Spray Gets FDA Nod for Seizure Clusters
Valtoco (diazepam nasal spray) is a new medicine for the acute treatment of epilepsy cluster seizures.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has announced the approval of Valtoco (diazepam nasal spray) for the treatment of seizure clusters in patients with a history of epilepsy aged 6 years and above.
Developed by Neurelis, Valtoco may be administered nasally by a caregiver outside of a medical setting for the acute treatment of seizure clusters.
Seizure clusters are a form of seizures that start and stop. They occur in clusters or groups with one episode right after another.
The FDA approved the formulation of this nasal spray as a rescue treatment for patients with epilepsy aged 6 years and above, according to Neurelis, a neuroscience-based pharmaceutical company.
In May 2019, the FDA approved Nayzilam (midazolam nasal spray) for patients with a history of epilepsy aged 12 years and above.
The drug regulatory body approved Valtoco after evaluating the safety and efficacy of the nasal spray based on the results of a clinical trial. The trial was conducted on 130 patients aged 6 and above who successfully underwent treatment for more than 2,000 seizure clusters with diazepam nasal spray.
Generally, the drug was found to be safe and well-tolerated. Some of the most common side effects of Valtoco were headaches, nasal discomfort, and sleepiness.
In the United States, more than 170,000 patients with epilepsy are at risk of seizure clusters, according to Neurelis.
Before the approval of Nayzilam and Valtoco, the FDA-approved rescue medications for seizure clusters were administered through the rectum.
If needed, patients can have a second dose of Valtoco four hours after the initial dose. However, it should not be used more than twice for a single episode of seizure. The FDA recommends that diazepam nasal spray should not be used for more than one seizure episode every 5 days and more than five episodes per month.

Dedicated to collectors looking for unique pieces, the furnishings selected by Gallery All – with locations in Los Angeles and Beijing – express a perfect fusion of art and design, etched in artifacts with primordial charm. They are original, unexpected, and sublime.
These objects lie halfway between art and design, in an expressive and formal synthesis. Here lamps, seats, and tables become creative iconic expressions. It is with this vision that Gallery All brings together designers that are passionate about experimental research, such as American Aranda/Lasch based in New York and Tucson, and their Railing Series line of seating, or Zhipeng Tan and his style rooted in organicism.
Biomorphic shapes intersect in a union of material and memory, in which a body's skeletal structure becomes a polished, golden seat. This evocative object seems to waver, with its almost imperceptible support and a particular structure that challenges the laws of statics and equilibrium.
In a game of material subtraction, the four traditional supports are unveiled in three subtle organic legs that reinvent the human skeleton.
Having always been interested in heritage casting techniques, artist Zhipeng Tan's inspirations and his "rational design" are revealed in various motives borrowed from nature: from botany to everything that revolves around the human figure.
a fascinating combination of elements that tell a new story, in a string of signs and features. Details recreate an artistic dimension, like with 33 step chair, one of Tan's most visceral works. It is made with a precise rendering of the number of vertebrae in the human spinal column, but inverted in respect to anatomy.
In the artistic designer's mind, the cervical vertebrae are on the floor, while the pelvis becomes the actual seat. In a game of symbolic references, the body itself becomes an object that welcomes the body, among sinuous twists and poetic narratives.


Real Madrid Superstar Cristiano Ronaldo has been suspended for five games after he was sent off in Spanish Super Cup first leg for pushing the referee. He has also been fined €3,000 (£2,700) for the incident and will miss Real's next five games.
In Article 96 of the Spanish federation's rule book, it is stated that a "grab, push or shake" on a referee in a manner that is "slightly violent" sees a player banned for four to 12 matches.
Ronaldo will now miss Wednesday's second leg against Barcelona. Real Madrid is crushing at the moment with the advantage of (3-1) at the first leg and most important 3 away goals.


For years, I have been utilizing information to drive my instruction. Checks (summative assessments) had been entered right into a program (Eduphoria) that aggregated the info for me and I used it religiously to make changes in my teaching and lesson planning. This is how I discovered the ideas that my college students had been understanding, not understanding, and what instructing methods and methods have been simplest. If a selected lab or activity really seemed to drive the point throughout and the test information supported it, then I definitely made word of that and was positive to continue it in the following years (with minor tweaks, in fact!). However more often than not, I was prepared to maneuver onto the following unit and the data I collected was only used for creating my classes for the following yr. I used to be lacking out on the information that was probably most vital in the moment – the quizzes.
However let's overlook about the proportion of gospelness that this church offers – full, partial, or in any other case. What intrigues me so much about UTBAPH churches (aside from the fact that folks really go to them in any respect) is the inside configuration. I really want to hop on a random white van sometime (assuming that almost all of them take you straight to UTBAPH church buildings) and test one out. Because the one doors on an UTBAPH (as everyone knows) are symmetrically positioned on the perimeters, between the dining space and the kitchen. Where, then, would an altar be in such a configuration? Presumably it might be somewhere close to the doorways. I really feel like, were you so inclined, you may simply to jump right to the entrance of a communion line, assuming that you just timed your arrival properly to a church of said format.

Apostille Requirements
U.S. Department of State Issued Apostille Requirements
Federally issued documents destined for use in participating Hague Apostille countries may need to be authenticated with an Apostille issued by the U.S. Department of State. Documents requiring an Apostille issued by the U.S. Department of State are those which have been signed by one of the following:
U.S. Federal Official
an American Consular Officer
a Military Notary, Judge Advocate (10 USC 1044a), or a foreign Consul diplomatic official registered with the State Department Office of Protocol.
State Issued Apostille Requirements
State issued documents destined for use in Hague Apostille countries may be authenticated by the Competent Authority in the state where the document was executed. A list of these authorities can be found on the Hague website. The local state requirements are as follows:
Officials (usually in the office of the state's Secretary of State) must have been designated as a competent authority to issue Apostilles under the Convention.
A document with an Apostille does not require additional certification by the U.S. Department of State or legalization by a U.S. embassy or consulate overseas to be recognized in a participating country.

Apostille Or Authentication Certificates?
Apostilles and authentication certificates validate the seal and signature of a Notary on a public document so that it can be recognized in a foreign country. Both verify that you held a Notary commission at the time you notarized the document.
Apostilles are used when public documents are being transferred between countries that are party to the Hague Apostille Convention of 1961. This international treaty streamlined the cumbersome, traditional procedure for authenticating documents.
An apostille is issued by your Secretary of State's office or Notary commissioning agency. The single apostille is the only certification needed. Once prepared and verified, the apostille is attached to and sent along with the notarized documents. This all happens after the notarization, and requires no action on your part.
Authentication certificates are used for destination nations that are not party to the Hague Convention. Instead of a single apostille, the document needs several authentication certificates, including those from your commissioning agency, the U.S. Department of State, the consul of the destination country and potentially another government official in the country.
The requirements and processing time for authentication certificates will vary from country to country.
Getting A Notarization Authenticated
According to the U.S. Department of State, documents that may require authentication for use abroad include: affidavits, agreements, articles of incorporation, company bylaws, deeds of assignment, diplomas, home study, income verification, powers of attorney, single status, transcripts, trademarks, warrants, extraditions, certificates of good standing, and other general business documents. Also, parents wanting to adopt a child living in another country must have their adoption dossiers properly authenticated.
But your client is responsible for requesting the authentication — not you.
Requests for an apostille or authentication certificate are generally submitted in writing to your state's Notary commissioning authority (usually the Secretary of State's office), and should contain:
An explanation of why the apostille or authentication is needed
The original document, including the Notary's completed notarial certificate
The final destination of the document
A postage-paid return envelope addressed to either the document custodian or the document's final destination.
The required fee (varies by state)
The commissioning office determines whether the document requires an apostille or authentication certificate, based on the document's final destination.
What's The Notary's Role?
Your only responsibility is to notarize the document itself. Because the document is destined for another country, the notarization must be performed accurately to ensure that there aren't any problems on the receiving end. For example, some judges presiding over adoption cases in other countries may reject documents not properly notarized.
Keep in mind, also, that as with any notarized documents passing through a Notary regulator's office, the paperwork will command particularly close scrutiny. Any notarial errors discovered may result in an enforcement action against you.

Q: How to properly write a custom Layer when NextDecoder depends on the previous layer, not the current one? I am writing custom layer decoders with gopacket.
LayerA contains a field Type that can be one of the following values:

*

*B-only, the next layer is LayerB, followed by a raw payload

*C-only, the next layer is LayerC, followed by a raw payload

*B-C, the next layer is LayerB, followed by LayerC then a raw payload

There is no field in LayerB that can be used to know if LayerC is the next or not. LayerB and LayerC decoding does not depend on whenever the other layer is present or not.
What would be the proper way to write the decode function of LayerA, since it's the one that knows what are the next layers?
There is not a lot of tutorials about custom layers with gopacket, and this case is not like the basic ones covered there.
It seems the logic should be put in LayerA decoding function, just before calling p.NextDecoder.
I thought of two ways to achieve this:
1. Use a closure
Add a field nextDecoder Decoder to the struct LayerB.
In the decoder of LayerA, when Type is C-only, simply use the decoder of LayerC. Otherwise, create a struct LayerB and  fill the field nextDecoder accordingly. Then use this struct in a closure, that will be used as the next decoder.
Issues
The decoding logic of LayerB would be in the LayerA decoding function (see code in Palyground below).
Moreover, which decoding function to use when registering the LayerB with gopacket.RegisterLayer?
2. Have two separate layers LayerB-C and LayerB-only
LayerB-C next decoder would be LayerC's, LayerB-only's would be just the payload layer.
Issues
The decoding function of LayerB-only and LayerB-C is the same, expect the call the p.NextDecoder.
Since there is no notion of 'inheritance' in go, I am not sure how to design this to avoid duplication. Maybe create a LayerB-base interface with a function nextDecoder() LayerType, and make LayerB-C and LayerB-only implement it? Or embed a type LayerB-base that has a function Decode? But neither of them doesn't feel right.
Code
Here is some code for each described way: https://play.golang.org/p/N9ZpYqFb16Q. The actual content of the layers are not relevant, except LayerA.Type.
The result of this code is as expected but I would like to know if there is a better or more idiomatic to do it.

A: You can do this by declaring the next layer to be an interface, which could support either B or C.  As long as whatever you declare fits as a LayerType, this should work fine.

Q: Hash declaration syntax error in irb 1. { :a => 10 } #=> no error
2. { a: 10 }    #=> no error

3. { :"str" => 10 } #=> no error
4. { "str": 10 }    #=> syntax error, unexpected ':', expecting =>

Isn't 4. same as 2? Why 2 is working and 4 throws syntax error?

A: My understanding is that {"key": value} is not a valid syntax as it is not clear whether it means {:"key" => value} or {"key" => value}
There is a discussion on this here. Quote from Matz in the discussion

| Iff  {'key': 'value'} means {:key => 'value'} I have no objection.
| Won't that be misleading? I think the OP wants {'key': 'value'} to mean {'key' => 'value}
But considering the fact that {key: "value"}
  is a shorthand for {:key => "value"}, {"key": "value"} should be a
  shorthand for {:"key" => "value"}.  Besides that, since it reminds me
  JSON so much, making a: and "a": different could cause more confusion
  than the above misleading.
          matz.

A: Hash: Hashes allow an alternate syntax form when your keys are always symbols.
options = { :font_size => 10, :font_family => "Arial" }

You could write it as:
options = { font_size: 10, font_family: "Arial" }

In your first 3 cases all are symbols in key position,but the fourth is a string instance,not the symbol instance as key.That's the reason 4th case is invalid Ruby syntax.
{ :a => 10 }.keys[0].class # => Symbol
{ a: 10 }.keys[0].class    # => Symbol
{ :"str" => 10 }.keys[0].class # => Symbol

A: No. (1) is standard symbol, (2) is shorthand 1.9 syntax for symbol-key hashes, (3) is shorthand for "str".to_sym, (4) does not exist and you should use the hashrocket.


Maybe you noticed these pictures on your Instagram feed yesterday?
And then you thought, "Wait. Where did he go?!"
Well, I can't tell you his destination but I can tell you that my husband has been in another country for THREE AND A HALF WEEKS!! If you were to compile every single day that we had been apart since dating, prior to this trip... it would still not add up to three and a half weeks - 25 days - that we were away from each other at this one time.
JD travels for business pretty frequently.
Thanks to his gracious company, I am allowed to travel with him unless security/safety issues arise.
We choose not to post any real-time information when traveling.
I picked him up from the airport with this tears, bright green sign, tears, a box of Cheddar Jack Cheez-Its, tears, and Mama E's pecan mini muffins. Did I mention a terribly dreadful amount of happy tears!?
So we packed up the car, headed home and unpacked the bags. A few minutes after JD said, "I'm going to try to stay up late so I can get re-adjusted to central time," I found him sweetly sleeping with his new business class eye mask covering his eyes on the couch. Hey, he made it to 5 p.m. That's better than I would do.
How cool is this engraved scroll-holder? JD got our last name engraved in English and Arabic. He suggested we write our vows in calligraphy, age the paper and store them in here. ;) He's awesome.
JD received these tiny houses on his KLM flight. All business class passengers get to choose one on each flight. I'm thinking: Christmas Village material.
Normally they store potpourri in the houses, we think, but they didn't for these because of Customs regulations.
We love collecting things from other countries, especially when they have English on one side and the country's language on the other. Thus, we have a wonderful collection of Coca-Cola products. JD also brought back some Tabasco, Colman's Mustard, Ketchup and Jelly jars. Yum!
And then he pulled out a grocery bag of... chocolate bars. Snickers, Mars, Kit Kat, and Twix bars all with Arabic writing on the sides. Room service would leave them on his bedside table. It will take us at least a couple of months to finish these off, but I was so glad he saved them and brought them back to share with me!!
What did we do to celebrate his return??
we counted / rolled the coins from our finally-filled-up coin jar. And we had so. much. fun! Honestly. We sat there, laughing and talking with music playing in the background, simply counting coins. No TV. No distractions. Just spending the day together. Pure bliss. JD decided we should try to find all 50 states for the quarters and a penny for every important date in our lives year. The only state we couldn't find was Colorado. We're hoping we'll find it eventually though!
Oh - and we found four "Jesus Christ" coins. "Good For One Dollar In Trade" Haha! We were pumped each time we found one in the jar. Praise the Lord that we do not get into Heaven based on how many Jesus coins we have stashed away in an old coin jar!
Come back Thursday to see how we remained intentional in our marital encouragement during each other's absence.
In "Christ", "JD Todd", "Whitney Todd", "airport", "candy", "culture", "foreign", "husband", "jesus", "jitneysjourneys", "love", "marriage", "salvation", "travel", "wife"

Editors' Picks, Roundups
The Best Streaming Service 2021 (Guide)
Fazeel Ashraf Updated: August 30, 2020
Illustration by Muntaha Hussain l TechEngage
Streaming services are like a fine wine; they get better with age. Streaming services have been around the corner for decades, it seems, but they are still developing and continuously improving. The rage for streaming services began with the advent of Netflix.
Ever since Netflix became a thing, every other broadcasting company or media company has been trying to mimic the platform, unsuccessfully, I might add. The key to surviving in this cutthroat market is to offer something that no one else has. Standing out from the crowd is not only essential, but it is also extremely crucial.
Many platforms are still in their infancy and looking to grow with time. Their user-base is small so that they can take risks. There are still many who refuse to become a part of the streaming revolution. They refuse to cut cords and are comfortable watching their shows the old school way, the way of the TV.
But for those looking to freshen things up and want a change in their lives, this list will help you decide what streaming service is the best for you.
Best Streaming Services Ranked
I have ranked the following streaming services based on my own experience. Here are my picks:
1 Netflix $7.99 Yes
2 Amazon Prime $8.99 Yes
3 Hulu $7.99 Yes
4 Youtube Premium $11.99 Yes
5 Google Play Movies & Tv Per Video No
The king of kings, Netflix, has been the trendsetter that started it all. There's absolutely no second opinion as to why Netflix tops our best streaming service list. Hard to believe Netflix started its early career as a DVD rental service where it would send DVDs to users' homes. Very little has changed in the Netflix business model apart from the medium it uses.
Netflix is now an empire, having an astonishing 117.6 million digital subscribers worldwide. It also plans to spend around $7.5 billion to $8 billion on content this year.
Its red and black interface gives an almost futuristic look, perfect for late-night viewing as it is easy on the eyes. Netflix, in my opinion, produces the best original shows out of all the streaming platforms on this list.
Some of which include House of Cards, Daredevil, and Narcos. These shows don't need any introduction, as you will most likely be already familiar with these.
It also offers three monthly plans: basic, standard, and premium, giving users extreme flexibility. The $7.99 Basic plan allows streaming on only one screen, the $10.99 Standard allows two, and the $13.99 Premium enables users to stream on four different screens simultaneously.
The basic plan offers a standard resolution; Standard offers HD resolution while Premium offers Ultra HD resolution.
2. Amazon Prime (Try Prime at discounted monthly offer)
Amazon Prime Video offers so many flexible options to its users. When it comes to the best streaming service, Amazon Prime is only second to Netflix and Hulu (it's my opinion, of course). The best part about it is if you own an Amazon Prime subscription, you will get Amazon Prime for free. If you want Amazon Prime subscription, just the subscription for Amazon's video service, it will cost you $8.99.
Amazon Prime doesn't offer much customization, even though it has a surprisingly massive collection of movies and TV shows. Unfortunately, users can only stream on two devices simultaneously.
There is little choice when it comes to customization. Users can only create one account at a time.
There are, however, some excellent shows on Amazon Prime, such as The Man in the High Castle and The Grand Tour.
3. Hulu
Hulu provides a variety of shows that the whole family can enjoy. It has a diverse range of movies and tv shows that will cater to every family member's needs and tastes. Hulu has the strong backing of major tv studios. Having a broader outreach, Hulu is one of our picks for the best streaming services.
This allows the streaming service to release shows rapidly, almost immediately after they air on TV. Hulu's ad-supported viewing option has been removed. To view current TV shows and original series, Hulu requires a $7.99 subscription, but it does still show ads.
For an ad-free viewing experience, the subscription will cost $11.99. if you want even more options, you can add subscriptions to HBO or Showtime for $14.99 or $8.99, respectively.
Hulu's biggest flaw, in my opinion, is that even the premium subscription can sometimes show ads for 15 to 30 seconds.
Hulu's green and white color scheme gives a calm reassurance to the users, making navigating menus a breeze. Its most popular original shows are Castle Rock, HandMaid's Tale, and 11.22.63.
4. YouTube Premium
YouTube Premium, formerly known as Youtube Red, is a paid subscription service from YouTube. It is available in many countries, but it doesn't even come close to Netflix's coverage map. YouTube Premium covers countries like Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Denmark, Finland, among many others. So, it makes it to our best streaming service list.
YouTube Premium offers exclusive original content produced by famous YouTubers such as Logan Paul, Rhett and Link, Lilly Singh, and Rooster Teeth. Users will be able to save their favorite videos offline, listen to audio even when the smartphone screen is turned off, or you go into another app.
Not to mention your favorite YouTube creators will get a fixed portion of revenue from all Youtube Premium subscribers without having to worry about ads.
But the biggest and the standout feature of YouTube Premium is that subscribers will get YouTube Music Premium and Google Play Music all for free. YouTube Premium costs $11.99, which is quite expensive.
It is more expensive than a Standard subscription of Netflix. But this suits everyone who spends more time on YouTube than they do watching movies or TV shows.
5. Google Play Movies and TV
Google Play Movies and TV is a Video on Demand (VOD) service created and managed by Google. This streaming service offers an extensive library of movies and TV shows that can be streamed or downloaded for offline viewing. Google Play comes last in our best streaming service list.
Google claims that most of the movies and TV shows are available in high definition, which is 720p or 1080p, and more will be added in Ultra HD 4K. Movies can be rented or purchased directly from the app.
Once purchased, smartphone users will be able to watch them from the Google Play Movies and TV app.
There are other ways to view the content as well. Users can view content on their laptops from a dedicated Movies & TV section of the Google Play website or via the Google Play Movies & TV Google Chrome web browser extension. Google Play Movie and TV is a hub to buy and stream.
In my opinion, Netflix still rules the land of internet streaming services. The reason is unparalleled original shows, a massive library of movies and TV shows that keep getting refreshed each month. Unbeatable value for money, and who can forget the worldwide availability of Netflix. This is why Netflix comes on top of so many lists of best streaming services on the Internet.

I know that automation can be a very intimidating aspect of mixing music, especially when you are new to it. But in this video, I show you one simple technique that you can use and apply immediately to your mixes.
Have you ever had a mix where the focal point (vocals) drops out for a second and there is nothing but the instrumental? Well why not use automation to focus another instrument into the spotlight, even if it's just for a second?
The point of this technique is that it's not meant to be over used but rather used when the right situation calls for it.
Check out the video to find out how I used it on this record.
