That looks like a trailer for both parts of the movie - unless some of it is going to be in flashback format?
Agreed. Looks like it will be good. Though I've never seen a trailer that attempts to show you the dissapointing bits of a film .
I'm looking forward to it though. Doubt I'll be seeing it in 3D, not a fan.
So why didn't the trailer show the 700 pages of camping around doing nothing?
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was expected to be the seventh and final book in the Harry Potter series, but in the past week author JK Rowling has revealed she might write more books about the boy wizard.
Rowling told US chat show host Oprah Winfrey that the characters were still in her head and she "could definitely" write several new books about them.
"I'm not going to say I won't," she said.
I'll w00t for the ditching of 3-D! Cursed thing that ever crossed the mind of James Cameron.....turning the world of cinema upside down and backwards (despite the fact that it existed before in a less sophisticated form).
Can't recall if it was that trailer that I saw, but the first teaser I watched I actually thought a bit disappointing. I shall likely be trekking out for the midnight showing anyway, especially after the beautiful news on the 3-D aspect!
Without doubt, this is the scariest Potter film so far. There are moments when even adult film-goers will be watching through their fingers.
I'm booked to take a bunch of 11-year-olds (and my 2 older sons) on Nov 21st for a birthday treat!!
Don't forget to post your review!
I will be going at midnight, as I have to I think the past four Harry Potter movie premiers. Definitely excited! My friends and I are making butterbeer for the occasion.
Kidding, kidding! Jude, the simplest way to make butterbeer is to add butterscotch schnapps to cream soda. We were also going to add some amaretto for a good nutty flavor. You could substitute butterscotch syrup and a bit of almond extract to make a non-alcoholic version. There are more complicated versions out there that include heating the butterscotch syrup/schnapps with a tablespoon or so of butter and a bit of heavy cream, then slowly pouring in the cream soda. I think the butterscotch is really the key flavoring, so as long as you have that ingredient I imagine it would be easy to experiment with different versions to find one to your liking. I bet it would be really good if you made your own butterscotch syrup!
What do you do with it? Spread it on toast? ??????
You drink it. Am I missing a joke?
Loved it. Absolutely loved it! If you have read the book, what I wrote below will not be a spoiler, but I'm putting it in white just in case. It also gives away the scene at which the movie ended, so if you don't want to know that then please don't read!
The movie was much darker than any previous one, but the actors did a fantastic job. It's clear that the three major characters (Harry, Hermione, and Ron) have significantly matured as actors since even the last one or two movies. I was also very impressed with the editing. Luckily, the fact that the movie was split into two parts allowed the screenwriters to include more detail, but they still couldn't keep everything. I thought the parts that they did keep were very judiciously chosen and I felt that nothing was missing from the book. There were some VERY scary parts, I thought, mainly during the scene at Godric's Hollow where Nagini surprises Ron and Hermione. The whole movie kept me on edge the entire time, just as it should have. My only disappointment was actually the very last scene, which was Dobby's death. When I read the book, I felt that this was a very powerful event, but I didn't think the movie showed it justice. It seemed rushed, and the emotions felt a bit contrived. Of course, there was also someone in the row behind me that was sobbing quite loudly throughout the entire scene, so perhaps I was too distracted to properly enjoy it. I will probably see the movie again at least once, so maybe my opinion about that scene will change upon review. Overall, however, I give this movie an A+!! By far my favorite of the HP films, and I enjoyed HP6 enormously so this one had a lot to live up to. It certainly delivered!
I saw it yesterday and I agree with Elsha.
The three main actors have improved tremendously since they were kids. There's a very poignant scene near the beginning, just before they rendez-vous in Little Whingeing to help with Harry's escape: Hermione's parents are watching the telly, and Hermione is behind them, gazing at them with both love and sadness. Then she raises her wand, and whispers "obliviate". As the camera pans across the room, we see her image fading out of family photographs, photographs of her in all stages of her life. The next scene we see the two parents getting into a cab to continue their dentistry career in Australia.
The movie continues to capture exactly the right emotional tone almost everywhere. In my opinion this is the most successful so far as an adaptation - I believe it would be completely coherent to anyone who had not read the book (but not to everyone who hadn't seen the previous movie: you have to know why they need to find the horcruxes and it would help if you knew what happened to Dumbledore).
I should add that the scenery when they're camping is magnificent. Try to see it in IMAX if you can!

WAP Wins Every Time
Cardi B hasn't released a record since 2018's smash Invasion of Privacy. Rumor has it she was tied up in a renegotiation of her contract with Atlantic Records. Her bag has clearly arrived, and with it comes "WAP"- a hilarious, sex-positive, freaky collab with Hot Girl Megan Thee Stallion that is actually breaking the internet…
Aesop Rock- The Impossible Kid
The Impossible Kid- Aesop Rock's 7th album and second for indie giant Rhymesayers- is a masterclass in American etymology. As with any standard Aesop release, the words pile up and demand an ear- but this time they're illustrating an obvious distance and loneliness. Aesop carves out space for plenty of math raps, loading each verse…
I'm finding it harder and harder to write about music. But for good measure, lets talk about Action Bronson- a man who weighed nearly 400 pounds a few months ago. During a recent interview with Hot 97 Bronson revealed that he was working on a self-help book and took a good look in the mirror….
Childish Gambino: 3.15.20
I supposed it's too early to call Donald Glover's 3.15.20 the album of the year- so let's instead call it the best and most complete record of his career. He's a mysterious dude, so if this is his last "Childish Gambino" record- so be it. It's a beaut. There's a gorgeous balance of world reflection…
There's a few things to keep your eyes on as January rolls by. First. I'll be publishing a 'best 50 films of 2000-2019' with my pal Josh very soon. We have no business creating this list.

They're Just Stories
This short piece became part of the framework for the book I'm currently working on. There's no title yet, but I can confidently say there's six chapters of solid storytelling completed.

Q: Unable to use SSH/Microsoft Remote Desktop after Yosemite update So I have been trying to log onto a virtual machine (a linux server for my school).  I have Remote Login enabled, and it worked perfectly prior to the update.  Now when I try to use ssh, it just does nothing until I get the error: sh: connect to host **...* port 22: Operation timed out.  If I try to use Remote Desktop, it says I have to either activate remote desktop or it is a problem on the other side, which I know it isn't because I am able to log onto the server on other computers/Macs.  Anything I have to do?  Thanks

A: I ran into a similar problem after updating to Yosemite 10.10.1
Could you please check the output of tcpdump in another Terminal window, while you are connecting to your remote ssh server?
I have the suspicion you're hitting the same redirect-error I am seeing on my box recently :-/
How to get the information:

*

*Open Terminal

*type "sudo tcpdump -vv" --> hit return

*Open another Terminal

*Try to connect to your server via ssh

*Look at the output of tcpdump and find the remote address of your server

If you do NOT see your server address, but rather some strange redirect (mine goes to gl02.opentracker.net):
Welcome to an unsolved, nasty problem-bug.

A buyer's market gives the buyer the advantage in the real estate process. What gives the buyer advantage is home inventory surplus. A buyer can select any home they wish. It's the seller's job to convince a buyer to choose this home. Additionally, a seller must compete with nearby sellers for attention. How can a seller win?
To sell this home, a seller must learn about the competitors' home. Use the answers to figure out the home's unique features and make sure it stands out in the listing. In the same vein, a seller can use comps to study what homes hit the market, pending for closing, and the sold price. Take this information to price the home accurately. The asking price should aim for profit, leave room to reduce asking price if needed, and compete with neighboring sellers.
According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR), 51% found their home online. To attract those tech-savvy buyers, a seller must be tech-savvy too. Use social media to promote the home. Sellers without tech knowledge must rely on an agent who understands the online world, including mobile websites/apps. While a seller can add offline methods to their strategy, it is difficult for a seller to rely only on offline promotion to lure buyers.
Photos give buyers a reason to stick around and learn more about the listing. Buyers want a personal connection to the home, and photos provide that. Homes without photos are suspicious and alarming to buyers, so include photos. Now, buyers gravitate to photos that look like photos on Houzz. Therefore, blurry, out-of-focus, pet-loving, clutter-ridden, and Instagram-looking photos get the boot. Photos must be viewable on mobile devices too.
Stand apart from competitors by offering incentives. Free kitchen appliances, a free washer/dryer, home improvement gift cards, covering closing costs, or paying moving costs will get buyers' attention. The seller must trade finances or items for buyers' attention, but the results are worth the sacrifice.
In a buyer's market, the buyer is very selective about the dream home. These suggestions will steer buyers to a seller's direction, but it's up to the seller to maintain their interest and secure a winning bid. Fierce competition is motivation to get it right until the home sells.

text:
Sata Ineko (, auch: Kubokawa Ineko () und Tajima Ine (), eigentlich: Sata Ine (); * 1. Juni 1904 in Nagasaki; † 12. Oktober 1998) war eine japanische Schriftstellerin.

Leben
Zum Zeitpunkt ihrer Geburt waren beide Eltern Schüler, wodurch die Eintragung ins Koseki einen komplizierten Verlauf nahm. Bereits 1911 verlor sie ihre Mutter. Vor dem Abschluss der Grundschule ging sie mit ihrem Vater und der Großmutter nach Tokio, wo sie in einer Bonbonfabrik arbeitete. Die Erfahrungen dieser Zeit verarbeitete sie später im Werk Kyarameru-kōba kara (Aus der Bonbonfabrik), mit dem sie den Durchbruch schaffte. Danach übernahm sie verschiedene Anstellungen (Kellnerin, Verkäuferin).

Nachdem ihre erste Ehe fehlgeschlagen war, arbeitete sie in einem Café in Hongō (Tokio), machte die Bekanntschaft mit Nakano Shigeharu und Hori Tatsuo, die an der Zeitschrift Roba (Esel) mitwirkten, und begann zu schreiben. Sie heiratete 1926 Kubokawa Tsurujirō, der ebenfalls Mitwirkender bei Roba war. Daher veröffentlichte sie ihre Werke zuerst unter dem Namen Kubokawa Ineko. 1928 veröffentlichte sie Aus der Bonbonfabrik und wurde als neue Autorin proletarischer Literatur anerkannt. Sie beteiligte sich auch an der Herausgabe der Zeitschrift Hataraku Fujin (Arbeitende Frau).

Als die proletarische Literaturbewegung wegen der Unterdrückung stagnierte und sie sich ihrem Ehemann entfremdete, verfasste sie Kurenai (Scharlachrot, 1936), in dem sie auch eigene Probleme als Frau in einer von Männern bestimmten Welt nachzeichnete. Aber mit der Verschärfung des Krieges wurde es zu einem Problem, dass sie auf ihrer Haltung des Widerstands gegen Autorität bestand, und es kam dazu, dass sie vom Zeitgeist beeinflusst wurde. Das beinhaltete auch Besuche an der Front, und sie verfasste Werke, die mit dem Zeitgeist übereinstimmten. Einige dieser Texte wurden später nicht in die Gesamtausgabe aufgenommen.

Nach dem Krieg trennte sie sich von Kubokawa und machte Sata Ineko zu ihrem Schriftstellernamen. Da ihre Tätigkeit während der Kriegszeit in Frage gestellt wurde, war sie bei der Gründung der Literaturgesellschaft Neues Japan keine Stifterin, übernahm aber von Beginn an eine aktive Rolle.

Außerdem bemühte sie sich gemeinsam mit Leuten wie Miyamoto Yuriko bei der Gründung der Demokratischen Frauenvereinigung und leistete einen Beitrag zur Demokratisierung nach dem Krieg. Aber sie litt unter der Beziehung zur Kommunistischen Partei Japans, beispielsweise durch das 1950-Problem und durch die Verschlechterung der Beziehungen zwischen der sowjetischen und japanischen Partei, was schließlich zu ihrem Ausschluss führte. In ihrem Œuvre gibt es Werke wie Watashi no Tōkyō Chizu (Meine Karte von Tokio, 1946) und Haguruma (Zahnräder, 1958), die ihre Erfahrungen und Tätigkeiten vor dem Krieg beschreiben, aber auch zahlreiche Werke wie Yoru no Kioku (Erinnerung der Nacht, 1955), Keiryū (Gebirgsbach, 1963) oder Sozō (Die Plastik, 1966), die entsprechend ihrer Erlebnisse die näheren Umstände der Kommunistischen Partei nach dem Krieg beschreiben.

Außer den Werken, die ihre eigenen Erfahrungen als Material haben, schilderte sie häufig die unterschiedlichen Probleme der Frauen nach dem Krieg, was in Frauenzeitschriften oder Wochenzeitungen fortlaufend veröffentlicht wurde und auch als Film oder Fernsehserie erschien.

Sie nahm auch aktiv an sozialen Tätigkeiten teil und spielte eine wichtige Rolle bei der Hilfe für die Angeklagten des Matsukawa-Zwischenfalls. Bis ins hohe Alter nahm dieses Engagement nicht ab, und sie setzte auch ihre sozialen Äußerungen fort.

Zitate
 Die Mädchen standen bei ihrer Arbeit den geschlagenen Tag lang auf dem gedielten Boden. Bis sie sich eingewöhnt hatten, schleppten sie die Beine nach wie steife Stöcke; sie litten unter Atembeklemmung, bekamen Schwindelanfälle. Manche auch waren, wenn es Abend wurde, so durchgefroren, dass sie sich vor Bauschmerzen krümmten. Alle hatten sie sich Leibbinden umgeschlungen und trugen, fest zusammengeschnürt, Vaters alte Unterhosen. (Aus der Bonbonfabrik, in: Das große Japan-Lesebuch, Goldmann Verlag, München 1990, S. 73)

Steven's friend Mathew Masters cleared up a burning question for us: What is the history of "la caja China" ("Chinese box")? More specifically, how did it get it's name?
To paraphrase the blog Mat recently posted on his website, shoplatintouch.com, this ingenious grilling device–sometimes called "la caja asadoro"–was thought to have emigrated to Cuba with 150,000 Chinese laborers in the mid-1800s. According to legend, it was these workers who brought this style of cooking to the island. Using makeshift wooden boxes, they built wood fires on top, a method that roasted the pig very efficiently. Today, "la caja China" is familiar to grillmasters all over the world and has a cult-like following.
But evidence does not support this theory as history does not show a culinary cultural exchange between the Chinese and native Cubans. Food anthropologist Stanley Mintz theorizes the term "China" doesn't refer to the Asian country at all. Instead, he says, "China" (or "chino") was used, slang-like, to describe something clever, mysterious, or exotic. Thus, "la caja China" actually translates to something like "the magic box".
Whatever it's called, la caja China, Mat believes, is the best-kept secret in the American barbecue community today. He appreciates it for its ability to roast large quantities of food in a short amount of time. He claims a whole pig, for example (see below), can cook in half the time of conventional barbecue methods. Thanks for the history/etymology lesson, Mat!

Utilities of all sizes are in the business of selling water. That is their product, which they must extract, treat, and deliver to their customers. From withdrawal to distribution to delivery, even the most advanced Utilities can lose a lot of already treated water during these processes; costing them valuable financial and environmental resources. The highest expense in every Utility is energy costs from pumping and treating. Reducing unaccounted for water, reduces the amount needed to be pumped.
In fact, this remains a common problem for Utilities across the country, with national averages of unaccounted-for-water (UFW) being very high. This non-revenue water can be detrimental to the financial viability of Utilities, as well as to the interests of clients.
That is why the Avanti Company, a leading specialist on Flow Meter Products and metering solutions, encourages Utilities to implement the latest Water Audit Method in the industry. Devised by a joint task force of the International Water Association (IAW) and the American Water Works Association (AWWA), this cutting-edge approach has been rigorously tested to provide proven results.
The IAW/AWWA Water Audit Method comprehensively details the wide variety of consumption and losses that exist in any given community water system. It is the culmination of an extensive five-country study formed by the two groups to develop a best practice water audit structure for all water utilities.
It traces the flow of water across all processes: from the site of withdrawal or treatment, through the distribution system, and into the properties of customers. In this way, the method summarizes components, provides accountability, and ensures that all water that goes into the system equals what goes out.
The method's effectiveness stems from its sound and consistent definitions of the major forms of water consumption and water loss that are commonly faced in drinking water utilities. For example, System Input Volume is corrected for known errors and broken down into two categories: Authorized Consumption and Water Losses. These in turn yield to other respective categories and so on, giving a simple but holistic view of the water balance.
These components and definitions are neatly and consistently defined, accounting for system-specific attributes (average pressure, total length of water mains, etc.) that make evaluation more reliable. From there, performance indicators and a simple Water Audit Tool allows water Utilities to make a meaningful assessment of their water loss standing, as well as consult helpful comments and suggestions.
With this method, Utilities can also establish a point of reference with other counterparts, and set performance targets that will ensure long-term viability. By quantifying all the water in a system as either beneficial or wasteful, it helps place a cost on each volume component and thus allows Utilities to better assess how much of each loss is occurring and what the financial impact is.
This streamlined and field-tested approach is accessible enough to be utilized from a worksheet or spreadsheet. It is an invaluable resource at a time when cost-effectiveness is as vital as ever. The Avanti Company is well equipped to provide information in this area. To learn more, contact 800-284-5231 or info@avanticompany.com.

NEW YORK (AP) -- Crude oil futures moved sharply higher Thursday on the New York Mercantile Exchange amid market talk refiners planned to shut down larger facilities as profit margins continue to dwindle in the face of a worldwide oil glut and weak demand.
Crude and its products bounced in a market swept by unsubstantiated talk that Tosco planned to shut its huge Marcus Hook, Pa., refinery in conjunction with a maintenance shutdown of its giant Bayway, Texas, 145,000-barrel-a-day gas-making unit.

Isabelle Vauglin is the chair of the EWASS hosting committee that is responsible for the local organisation of the EWASS meeting at the Manufacture des Tabacs in Lyon, from 24 to 28 June, 2019. The site, nicely located in the student area of Universite Lyon 3, has a maximum capacity of about 1200 participants.
In 2019 we want to make a switch to electronic posters. We have experimented with this way of presenting scientific work at EWASS 2018 in Liverpool, and we want to further explore the possibilities of electronic posters in Lyon. One can download the poster on smartphone, tablet or laptop, or project the poster on a large screen in a dedicated room. A practical motivation is that the display of paper posters requires a lot of space. The concept of electronic posters has been a great success, for example, at medical conferences.
EWASS 2020 will be organised in Leiden, the Netherlands, the site of the oldest university observatory in operation today. We are currently in the process of selecting the venue and preparing the memorandum of understanding. The location of EWASS 2021 is still open. Parties interested in organising the EWASS meeting in 2021 (or beyond) are invited to submit a letter of intent to the chair of the EWASS Board, Lex Kaper (L.Kaper@uva.nl), before the end of this year.
The departing members of the Council were thanked and the newly elected ones were welcomed by the EAS Secretary. The EAS Executive Secretary subsequently presented the imminent elections for the Treasurer and President positions. A Nomination Committee has been set up and more details of this will be circulated soon. The General Assembly concluded with a report on EAS prizes and the forthcoming EWASS 2019 meeting in Lyon.
Unfortunately, the required quorum for a valid General Assembly was not met. The Council has decided to undertake an email ballot instead of either calling for an extraordinary EAS General Assembly or waiting until the June 2019 EWASS in Lyon. The only items for which approval by EAS members is required are the minutes from the 25th GA in Prague in 2017, and the EAS accounts for 2017. The invitation to participate in this ballot was sent to all EAS members on 16 October 2018, with a deadline of 18 December 2018. All EAS members are kindly requested to participate in this ballot as soon as possible.
As explained in the previous issue of the e-Newsletter, the Affiliated Societies will collect information on proposed EAS members and pass that on to the EAS office. By now, some Societies have finished this task and most Societies are well underway, and we indeed foresee the significant increase in the EAS membership which was one of the drivers of this proposal.
Most EAS members will already have been contacted by their National Society, but where this has not yet happened you may wish to contact your Society to find out how their activities in this regard are progressing. The list of all EAS Affiliated Societies can be found here.
Current EAS members who cannot or do not wish to join this new membership scheme through their National Society still can stay as EAS members in 2019; however, a uniform 40€ membership fee will apply, independent of country or status (Junior/Senior/Ordinary). Note that EAS Life members will be contacted soon.
Sara Lucatello works at the INAF Osservatorio Astronomico di Padova. She obtained her undergraduate degree and PhD from University of Padova, Italy. After postdoctoral work at University of Texas Austin, she was INAF fellow in Padova and later Excellence Cluster Universe fellow in Munich.

She has served as a member and co-chair of the organs for diversity and equal opportunities in the SDSS collaboration. Her scientific interests focus on spectroscopic studies of stellar populations, the formation and chemo-dynamical evolution of the Milky Way and its subcomponents, large Galactic stellar surveys and Big Data in Astronomy. She is currently one of the two EAS Vice-Presidents, and is responsible for social media presence, ethics, and the recruitment of organisational members.
The three new Council members: Sara Lucatello, Andreas Burkert, and Nick Kylafis.
Andreas Burkert holds the chair for computational astrophysics at the Ludwig-Maximilians Universität München since 2003. He got his doctoral degree from the University of Munich and then went on a Feodor Lynen Fellowship to the University of Illinois, Urbana and to the University of California, Santa Cruz. In 1991 he joined the Max-Planck-Institute for Astrophysics in Garching as a staff member and in 1995 accepted an offer from the Max-Planck-Institute for Astronomy in Heidelberg to build a new theory group. In 1995 he also received the Habilitation. In EAS Council, he is responsible for the European Regional Office of Astronomy for Development, overseeing issues on education.
Nick Kylafis was a postdoctoral fellow at Caltech and at the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton. He was an Assistant Professor at Columbia University before accepting an Assistant Professor position at the University of Crete in 1985. He was promoted to Associate Professor in 1989 and Professor in 1997. He served as Chairman of the Department of Physics from 1999 to 2003, as well as Dean of the School of Sciences from 2008 to 2013. During the period 2012-2016 he was a member of the Council of the University of Crete. He retired and was elected Emeritus Professor in 2016. As EAS Councillor, his responsibilities include the Membership Committee and he acts as the liaison between EAS Council and the Affiliated Societies.
In 2007, the EAS has created the Tycho Brahe Prize; from 2019 onwards, a silver medal and a certificate will be awarded. The award ceremony will take place during the EWASS 2019 meeting in Lyon. The winner of the medal is invited to present a talk at one of the plenary sessions.
Short biographies of previous years' awardees and full details regarding the Tycho Brahe Medal are to be found on the EAS website. There are no restrictions to the nationality of the candidates nor to the country of origin or residence. Nominations are only accepted through a web form accessible for EAS members. The deadline for nominations is Wednesday, 31 October 2018.

The art of being difficult towards oneself
Asger Jorn and his constant search for the next search
Asger Jorn, baptised Asger Oluf Jørgensen, and brother to artist John Nash, was a European Avant-garde artist born in Denmark in 1914. As Jørgensen doesn't really roll-off the tongue in most languages, he wisely chose Jorn after the World War II. The artist was at an all-time creative high and at his most productive between 1940-60s. Today his work is the pride of many international collectors and museums, and on rare occasions when the art is on sale, it fetches high prices.
While Jorn's art is spread over continents, one of the largest collection of Jorn art is still to be found close to where he was born. With some 140 paintings, Museum Jorn is situated in Silkeborg and was founded on works of art donated by the artist himself followed by further purchases and donations from other sources. The museum features two of his most famous pieces of art. The 14-meter-long epic tapestry called 'The Long Journey' and the painting with the somewhat ambiguous title 'Stalingrad, the place that isn't and the mad laughter of courage.'
if you don't go to the extreme sometimes, there isn't much point in going anywhere
Asger Jorn
Jorn's legacy
By many he is considered one of the most important Scandinavian artists since Edvard Munch. In retrospect, he is best known for being one of the driving forces behind the CoBrA art movement. But if you had asked Jorn himself, he would most certainly have regarded CoBrA as a blip in the story of his life. He went on to adopt and expand his creative vocabulary with e.g. the 'Situationist'. At one point his experimentation involved buying insignificant and kitsch pieces of Parisian oil paintings in gold frames. He then went on to partly cover these painting with his own abstract expressions.
Being a prolific artists, Jorn created well over 2500 paintings, collages, ceramics, and an unknown number of books, notes and essays. Son of a staunch, almost fanatic, Christian father, and a somewhat more liberal mother, Jorn ended up leading a turbulent life. E.g. he recovered twice from tuberculosis, first in his younger years and later in the fifties whilst returning from Italy. Jorn's gratitude to Silkeborg, which hospital helped save his life from serious tuberculosis and starvation is speculated to be the main reason for the artist's later attachment to the city and his donation to Museum Jorn.
Throughout life Jorn had a tremendous energy and drive, and was extremely charismatic. He was first and foremost a survivor. He recovered from serious bouts of poverty, depressions, alcoholism and divorces always to return to a state of beng flush and happy. He was even affluent in his later years, so much so, that he could part sponsor collaborations with Guy Debord.
At his death in 1973, he was represented by 31 internationally acclaimed exhibitions and collections, but was barely known by the general public in his home country. This has something to do with the fact that international breakthrough really happened while he lived and worked abroad. His work has thus been created in Paris, Munich, Albisola, Havana and London.
The restless mind
Jorn was incredibly tough on himself and demanded absolute uncompromising commitment to art from himself. His expansive knowledge of literature and heritage of nordic art, together with his passion for contemporary art, made him formulate his artistic direction in writing. The direction continuously changed and was more a journey or exploration. So paradoxically as began to make sense of things, and put those 'things' into some sort of logical framework, he also began to abandon them. Throughout life he rebelled against any form of system or dogma, which goes some way to explain this continuous search.
Being a socialist he stayed away from the USA, and that even when Lefebre Gallery mounted a solo exhibition of his art in 1962. In fact he only visited the US for a gallery opening in 1970 three years before his death. He really disliked the whole notion of every visa application and entry to US demanding one to state that one is not a communist. The US was profoundly intrigued by the artist and admired his art in the sixties, but Jorn is alleged to have declined the Guggenheim award in 1964 in no uncertain terms:
GO TO HELL BASTARD—STOP—REFUSE PRIZE—STOP—NEVER ASKED FOR IT—STOP—AGAINST ALL DECENCY MIX ARTIST AGAINST HIS WILL IN YOUR PUBLICITY—STOP—I WANT PUBLIC CONFIRMATION NOT TO HAVE PARTICIPATED IN YOUR RIDICULOUS GAME.
By the sheer virtue of all the great art he produced, he is eternally forgiven for not being a great diplomat.
In 1936 Asger Jorn scraped all his pennies together and went to Paris on a second-hand motor-bike. His mission was to study under Kadinsky. But after having achieved this, he soon switched to study at Fernand Léger's Académie Contemporaine. Between 1937- 1942 he attended Royal Academy of Art in Copenhagen

Tributes to Che promoted in Argentina
Cuba, Mar 7th – Remembering the 50th anniversary of the assassination in Bolivia of the heroic guerrilla leader Comandante Ernesto Che Guevara, is a priority for many Argentines this year, as Lisandro Federico López, from the city of Rosario, told Granma International.
The young journalist belongs to the Multisectoral Solidarity with Cuba Movement and explained that the organization is promoting several initiatives, mainly to be held in the first half of October, although it is also organizing mobilizations throughout the year, in order to pay tribute to Che and his ideas.
He added, "As our generation refuses to let our joy be snatched away from us, and focusing on Che's example and struggle, we have proposed to hold a grand festival to honor him. This event will encourage the promotion of popular resistance, for peace with social justice, against imperialism and for the happiness of our youth in the Greater Homeland."
The organization also plans to hold an event in June, in the framework of the 89th anniversary of Che's birth, with a plenary dialogue by the National Alternative Media Network, which will bring together journalists from across the country to reflect on Che's legacy. In August, the annual national meeting of all social organizations, movements, and political parties supporting solidarity with Cuba will be convened.
Popular and alternative media will help publicize these events, in particular the popular "Radio Che Guevara" station, based in Rosario, founded seven years ago and providing coverage through its blog, radio station, and social networks.
This informative forum is run by several people working voluntarily to cover social and public agenda issues, and explain the true essence and the history of national and international events, with the help of the Internet. They publish multimedia reports on the blog: http://radiocheguevara.blogspot.com.
The site also offers articles on the Cuban reality, which challenge the misinformation published by hegemonic media outlets, radio and television broadcasters. Likewise, the blog defends the Bolivarian Revolution of Venezuela and the emancipatory processes of Ecuador, Nicaragua, and Bolivia.
For such efforts, the volunteers follow current affairs, read informative articles on the changes taking place in these countries on the radio, and interact with the audience on these issues.
Lisandro Federico López stated, "As I am part of the Argentine Club of Journalist Friends of Cuba, I receive information about the island daily and immediately disseminate it through the alternative media available to us and through different channels. We call for actions against the criminal economic, financial, and commercial blockade, which aims to starve the Cuban people. At the time, we joined the campaign for the release of the Five Cuban heroes who served long and unjust years of imprisonment in the United States for fighting against terrorism."
As a member of solidarity and friendship groups with Cuba, Lisandro receives Cuban personalities and delegations visiting the city of Rosario, and also participates in political and cultural events to celebrate the Revolution's historical dates, which comment on the history and reality of the country.
He is passionate when talking about Cuba, explaining that his love for the island stems from his family, as his father was active in the Argentine Communist Party until his death. Lisandro's father first visited the island in 1985, to undertake a course for a year. Upon returning to Argentina, he instilled the human values of the Cuban social model in his compañeros.
In the family environment, talks about the building of socialism and Fidel Castro Ruz's speeches were recurrent. This background led Lisandro to participate in social struggles from the age of 14.
Together with other compañeros, he founded the organization "Daughters and Sons for Identity and Justice against Forgetting and Silence" in 1995, to denounce the cases of those people disappeared and tortured during Argentina's military dictatorship, and continued to fight for social rights.
Lisandro visited Havana for the first time in 1997 as a delegate of the 14th World Festival of Youth and Students, which was dedicated to commemorating the 30th anniversary of the assassination in Bolivia of Ernesto Che Guevara. He traveled to the island again in January 2000, as a member of the South American Solidarity with Cuba Brigade, staying at the Julio Antonio Mella International Camp located in the municipality of Caimito, Artemisa province.
Since then, he has drawn up several initiatives to gain support for the Cuban Revolution, such as a motorcycle tour across different parts of the continent.
He also coordinated a rock music festival dedicated to the island in 2008, in the Humberto Benito de Rosario municipal amphitheater. "We held it in a gigantic space and thousands of people attended," Lisandro noted.
In 2009, he was invited by the Communist Party of Cuba Central Committee to the political-cultural event to mark the 50th anniversary of the triumph of the Cuban Revolution in Santiago de Cuba's Manuel de Cespedes Park.
For this solidarity activist, the example of heroism that characterizes the Cuban people serves to show the path forward for the political processes of Latin American societies. As such, he categorically concluded: "Cuba is the beacon of light for our peoples, because it is an example of dignity, coherence, heroism, patriotism, and solidarity."(Granma)

Tamasha Music Review
Music Reviews, News | November 5, 2015 | | by Stacey Yount
Directed by Imtiaz Ali, Tamasha stars two of the best Deepika Padukone and Ranbir Kapoor and we hear, from the director himself, they are fabulous in the romantic drama. The highly anticipated film tells the story of Tara (Deepika Padukone) who finds herself stranded on the French island of Corsica. Her adventure then begins when she meets Ved (Ranbir Kapoor). Ved has grown up among stories – Ramayana, Helen of Troy, Laila Majnu, Heer Ranjha, Aladdin, Romeo and Juliet and has become an exuberant storyteller. Drawn to theatrics, Ved sets a unique condition for their trip – they will to not tell each other who they are and after returning from the island to never meet each other again. But they do meet again. The question is whether they will be able to shape their story in the way they want. Will the muse be able to make an artist of a common man, will Ved be able to break the shackles of ordinary existence, escape the corporate rat-race and become the way Tara sees him – the exuberant story-teller? Corsica, Simla, Delhi, Calcutta, Japan – all the world is a stage – as the drama of Ved and Tara unfolds. Frolic, rage, quirk, laughter. Defeat, victory. Tamasha.
To create the music for the world of Tamasha and add an extra element of tamasha in Tamasha, Imtiaz Ali brought in composer A. R. Rahman. What is so interesting about the music and score of Tamasha is that this is not your traditional OST. In fact, the music for the film is something more. When I talked with Imtiaz Ali (which you will be able to read later) he told me that many of the pieces are the music for the dramatic plays in the film. They are not songs in the film; they are the music of the film.
I have to say I loved reviewing the soundtrack of Tamasha because it did have those dramatic pieces but also the other tracks that tell the story of Ved and Tara. Read on to see what I thought.
Since the very first listen of 'Matargashti,' the peppy song has captured the attention of fans. With a very cool groove the song has nice mix of a Western and Indian vibe. Mohit Chauhan is in good voice and he sings with a lot of energy and enthusiasm. However, sometimes it feels as if he is straining and fighting to stay in the pocket. I did like when he used his vocal as music. Also he shined on the more melodious sections. However, there are a lot of tempos and differing sections in the song and it just got a bit confusing. There was too much going on – there was no need for the chorus or the added effect layers. I did like the beginning of the song and wish it had stayed that way. As evidenced by the video, this one plays even better within the film so I would say give it a look and a listen.
One of my favorites from the very first note is 'Tu Koi Aur Hai.' I have a feeling this is one of the songs that Imtiaz Ali mentioned that will be played as one of the stage plays is being performed. With whispery new age-y music and A. R. Rahman's incredible smooth tone you get lost in the feeling and the beauty of this piece. The mastery of this composition is brilliant. Alma Ferovic's dulcet tones and lovely voice enhance the beauty that is 'Tu Koi Aur Hai.' Arjun Chandy's epic voice also must be mentioned. The track also has some sharper more staccato stanzas that are also a great addition. Plus, the orchestral section and the choir really added to the grand feel of the song. There were some odd additions with effects and notes, which I think were not needed, but that is a minor note. The song is over 7 minutes but it does not feel like that at all. I wanted more and to know what this story will be. I can't wait to see it play out on screen!
Next up we have 'Heer Toh Badi Sad Hai' sung by Mika Singh and Nakash Aziz. The foundation of the song is full on Indian and it is so good! It actually had me swaying at my computer. Mika Singh sings with a suave coolness that I really enjoyed listening too. I really love this avatar of his voice. The problem with 'Heer Toh Badi Sad Hai' is three-fold. There are some very odd musical line additions that actually made me say 'what is that?', literally out loud. Second, though I loved it in the beginning I got a bit bored with the same syncopations in music and vocals and faded out in the middle of the song, which is something you don't want to do. Finally, it gets to the end, and Yay there is a change up, but it kicks up to a speed that is so fast that it is hard to listen too. It does not help that in that fast section the music sounds very manufactured and light, it needed more depth. For me, it started off great but it lost its way. I would have liked more and I think I will feel that seeing it onscreen as well.
'Parade De La Bastille (Instrumental Version)' starts off with a haunting male vocal line that is enhanced by the superb musical arrangement. You really feel what Rahman was trying to say and convey as the section culminates in the high wail of the violin. The piece then transposes to more of a happy song, which makes you feel the joy and the fun. This section also shows off Rahman's masterful layering of different instruments and styles of music to make something special. You can hear a lot of European flavors within the musical line and it being set in Corsica you can see and imagine you will hear how that fits into the world of Tamasha. The percussion and the acoustic rhythmic guitar were some of my favorite parts. This one again, I feel is something we will have to wait to see what is happening on screen to really feel the music. I look forward to it.
A lovely mellifluous piano line starts off 'Agar Tum Saath Ho' and I am in music love within the first 20 seconds. This is just the type of song that I will play over and over and over again. Add in the classic tones of Alka Yagnik and you are transported to 90s filmi music and it is so good! She sings with such feeling and a perfect quality. This song is Alka Yagnik's all the way. Arijit Singh joins in and his deep full tones are wonderful, but I do feel he was fighting the music and I think his own voice as the back up vocal. This really took away from the feeling he was trying to convey. There were some more modern mixes added in but I preferred the more classic feel to the music. It was sometimes simple and sometimes full bodied and that made the song magic. From the video we know that this is a turning point and a sad arc of the film where maybe love does not win. Definitely give this one a listen; it is my favorite on the album. I have feeling once we see it fully within the context I will be moved and love it even more.
Rahman changes it up with 'Wat Wat Wat.' A very quirky groove, the music is not something you can really classify. It does have Indian influences in the baseline and has some fabulous strong percussion with a hint of Bhangra. However, I think I also heard some 50s guitar, some modern hits plus a host of other interesting (not in a good way) sounds. The zippy music may be a bit off, but Shashwat Sing sings with great spicy inflection and he makes the song. Arijit Singh joins in on the more melodious section and he too is wonderful. I will be honest I am not sure what to make of this song, I actually enjoyed some of it, in fact the Wat Wat Wat refrain and the baseline keeps going through my head but overall I think it missed the mark. It maybe to your taste so give it a try.
There is also the 'Wat Wat (Vengeance Mix),' which is a totally different song. Completely electronica, I wanted to turn it off when the song first played. However, I did enjoy hearing Shashwat's sharp cadence in this version but that is all. Once he stopped singing I wanted to turn it off again. The music just was too much and to mixed. Stick with the original.
'Chali Kahani,' which begins with a beautiful flute line, transforms into something much bigger and dramatic and we can guess this is also a piece that is the soundtrack for one of the drama stories in the film. In fact, this, I would say, is what Ali meant when he gave the composer the brief that he wanted the music to be tamasha. Rahman really is a maestro at creating opulent compositions. Of course, we have to mention the outstanding vocals by Sukhwinder Singh. What is so incredible is that we can feel the mythical tone and drama and we have not even seen the play. I can't wait to experience this as I watch Tamasha.
I just love 'Safarnama.' The beginning is heavily flavored with a French vibe and I saw myself in a cafe enjoying a croissant. Okay, sorry I am back now from Corsica. The song gets even better when the harmony of the guitars comes in and the song begins to take a new shape. Lucky Ali's velvety, full of feeling tone joins in the flow. I do love to hear him sing and in this song especially. The music Rahman has created for this song is splendid. I wanted to start the song again before it was even over, which is pretty amazing. Just go listen!
Without seeing the film, as yet, and not knowing how those tracks fit into the plays within the film, it is hard to put a star rating on this unique soundtrack. However, just the fact that it is the music for these stories makes it amazing. Add in the more traditional songs and you have an album like no other. There were a few odd notes but overall it is extraordinary. I can't wait to see this music come alive onscreen when the film releases on November 27th.

When Wolverton Sports Club approached Milton Keynes Development Corporation for help for a new sports pavilion to replace their rotting wooden one, they were offered the services of Swiss architect Pierre Botschi, who was experimenting with fibre glass structures.
His design for a pavilion to house members of the cricket, tennis and bowls clubs was brilliant yellow in colour and its shape was summed up in its nickname – The Pineapple. Although the large window at one end overlooked the Bowls Club, their members decided to stay put in their converted railway carriage. Unlike normal cricket pavilions, with a balcony overlooking the pitch, this pavilion had no entance pitch side. Its high internal roof meant large heating bills, which the club tried to pay for with discos, but the noise annoyed local neighbours.
The club returned, dissatisfied, to the Development Corporation, and they agreed to replace the Pineapple with a more conventional brick structure. The old yellow pavilion was sold to a chicken farm in Somerset.

Notice in this prayer its declaring "You have ransomed me" , this is actually prophesying the crucifixion. Jesus became the ransom for our sins (1 Timothy 2:6) It's important that we remember this reason why Jesus went to the cross, was for the wages of our sins.
Jesus displayed full obedience to God the Father, "Into your Hands" meaning I put my life in your hands. Do we commit our life into the hands of God? Often we try to control our lives by "taking this in our own hands". However, remember its "Your will be done" (Matthew 6:10) not Our will be done.

The Truth About Santa Claus Revealed!
"Don't tell the kids, but we've got Santa Claus all wrong. Countless Christmas songs tell us that Santa is basically the Judge Judy of juveniles. He decides who's been naughty or nice, and doles out presents or punishments accordingly. But historians say Kris Kringle was originally created to keep 'adults', not children, off the naughty list. Being crafty codgers, we ducked Santa's surveillance, turning the spotlight on kids and dramatically changing Christmas celebrations." D. Burke, CNN
Santa in the famous Macy's Day Parade in New York City, U.S.A. dailymail
Excerpt: The real story behind Santa Claus, By Daniel Burke, CNN
"How did we achieve this very important historical victory? Picture this: It's the early 1800s, and America's Christian leaders — most of whom were Protestant Reformation-types — had banned religious celebrations of Christmas as unscriptural and paganish.
In Tokyo Japan Santas from the Harley Santa Club deliver toys in a campaign against child abuse. CNN
But people still wanted to party. Because, why not? It was midwinter, the crops were harvested and sailors were waiting for better weather to disembark. So, on December 25, working-class stiffs got fall-down drunk and stumbled around cities looking for stuff to loot. Imagine Black Friday, spring break and New Year's Eve — then smash them together like sumo wrestlers full of saki. That was Christmas in the early 1800s.
Colorful Santa in Italy. CNN
A bunch of blue-blood New Yorkers decided all this fun must stop. They wanted to domesticate Christmas, bring it indoors, and focus it on children, says Gerry Bowler, author of Santa Claus: A History and professor of history at the University of Manitoba in Canada. These grinches, who formed the Saint Nicholas Society of New York, would change the world with two little poems. Yep. Poems.

But let's back up for a minute. When the Dutch came to the New World in the 1600s, they brought a fellow from folklore named Sinterklaas with them, Bowler says. Sinterklaas, who wore a red bishop's miter and a snowy white beard…Despite being a bishop, this Nick was a bit of a bad boy. An archaeologist who dug up his bones in 2005 found that Nicholas had a broken nose, perhaps a result of the persistent persecution of Christians around that time… Or could it have been Christian-on-Christian violence?
Volunteer Santas in Seoul, Korea. CNN
Early icons of Nicholas depict him without bishop's garb, a subtle suggestion that he had been demoted, possibly for fisticuffs…Thankfully, St. Nicholas, was known for more than brawling. He also had a reputation for giving gifts and protecting children…While staying at an inn, Nicholas discovered three dismembered children in pickle barrels. He reassembled and resurrected the briny kids and punished the guilty innkeeper. These deeds, along with his everyman persona, (he wasn't a martyr or hermit like so many other model Christians of the time), made Nicholas the greatest male saint of the Middle Ages.

Bowler says that St. Nick's feast day, December 6, (the day he supposedly died) was celebrated across Europe for hundreds of years, often by giving gifts to children…About a decade later, in 1821, an anonymous poem called The Children's Friend, featured a magical figure called 'Santeclaus,' who drove a reindeer-led sleigh full of "rewards" and filled obedient children's stockings with little presents. Building on that, an Episcopalian scholar named Clement Clarke Moore wrote a poem for his big brood called A Visit From St. Nicholas. It's now better known as The Night Before Christmas."

"These deeds, along with his everyman persona, (he wasn't a martyr or hermit like so many other model Christians of the time), made Nicholas the greatest male saint of the Middle Ages…One measure of his popularity is the long list of people, places, churches and Christian groups that list St. Nick as their patron….St. Nick's feast day, December 6, (the day he supposedly died) was celebrated across Europe for hundreds of years, often by giving gifts to children."
"Some countries… such as the Netherlands, kept alive traditions associated with Sinterklaas. And it was these customs that 19th century New Yorkers wanted to revive. As they sought to make Christmas more family friendly, the Saint Nicholas Society found the perfect front man in their namesake, who, after all, was known for being nice to children."
"The real goal was getting drunks off the street, remember? Now they could do that by turning Christmas into a family event when children — who had it pretty rough back then — would receive gifts for good behavior. Drawing on the Dutch legends about Sinterklaas, the American author Washington Irving wrote a series of sketches featuring St. Nicholas soaring high above New York houses, smoking a pipe and delivering presents to well-behaved children."
Directions: Allow students 5 minutes to write down three new ideas they've learned about the origins of Santa Claus from the reading, two things they did not understand in the reading, and one thing they would like to know that the article did not mention. Review the responses as a class.

2015: Having A Ball!
"In cities around the world, the first seconds of the new year are marked by fireworks. But dropping a ball on New Year's Eve is a wholly American tradition to count down the last fleeting moments. The first ball dropped at midnight on New Year's Eve remains the most famous: the one on top of One Times Square in New York City." E. Rolfes, PBS
Times Square balls from 1907, 2007, 2009, and 2012.
Excerpt: Having a ball: The history behind American New Year's Eve celebrations By Ellen Rolfes, PBS
"With the creation of standard time, time balls were invented so that sailors could adjust their chronometers, or timepieces, while at sea. With a telescope, they would scope the harbor and watch for a time ball to drop at a specific time, usually noon or 1 p.m. The first time ball was installed in 1829 in Portsmouth, England. The U.S. Naval Observatory followed suit and began dropping a time ball in 1845 in Washington's Foggy Bottom neighborhood.
Times Square New Year's Eve ball preparations for 2015.
Soon many port towns and cities adopted the practice. It was one of these time balls that became the inspiration for Walter Palmer, The New York Times' chief electrician, who reimagined the maritime timekeeping ritual as a unique finale to the city's end-of-the-year party. In 1904, New York City's New Year's Eve celebrations moved up to the New York Times building at 46th St and Broadway. Crowds had previously gathered at Trinity Church in downtown Manhattan, near Wall Street, to hear the bells ring at midnight. In lieu of chimes, The New York Times company produced a midnight fireworks spectacle to lure more New Yorkers north. That proved effective but also disastrous when hot ashes, the remnants of the fireworks, rained down onto the streets.
The ball was redesigned as new technology and materials became available, Jeffrey Straus noted. As president of Countdown Entertainment and executive producer for New Year's Eve celebrations in Times Square, Straus organizes television and Web broadcasts of the Times Square. Over the decades, aluminum has replaced iron and halogen lamps and then light-emitting diodes, or LEDs, replaced incandescent bulbs. Some balls have had rhinestones, strobe lights or rotating pyramid mirrors. Computer controls were added in 1995.
What distinguishes the current ball from earlier predecessors is the multitude of lights and crystals. At 11,875 pounds and 12 feet in diameter, the Big Ball has 2,688 Waterford Crystals that refracts the light of 32,256 Philips LEDs."
