The Cult are an English rock band which gained a dedicated following in their native Britain with mid-`80s singles like She Sells Sanctuary before breaking into the American metal market in the late `80s with Love Removal Machine. The band fuses a "heavy metal revivalist" sound with the "pseudo-mysticism…of The Doors, the guitar-orchestrations of Led Zeppelin, and the three-chord crunch of AC/DC, while adding touches of post-punk goth rock".

Jack Perry: No Empire Lasts Forever
By Anthony Wile - January 10, 2016
Introduction: Jack Perry lives with his wife in Tucson, Arizona. He is a writer, traditional archer, amateur bread baker, and a Christian Buddhist. He was born in Southern California and travelled quite a bit after a stint in the U.S. Army.
Anthony Wile: Hi, Jack. We noticed your articles on LewRockwell.com and wanted to chat with you about them. You seem focused on an anti-war message. Were you ever in action?
Jack Perry: No. I was in the Army during the Cold War.
Anthony Wile: Tell us about you experience with the Army.
Jack Perry: My experience was that they work hard to get you in there, but once there, you're worth less than the equipment issued to you. I was in a serious training accident there, trapped in a burning vehicle. Know what the sergeants were saying? "The weapons! Don't forget the weapons!" Right. Don't worry about getting your seriously injured buddies out; make sure you get the weapons out. Probably so they don't have paperwork to do about weapons accountability.
That one incident colored my entire perception about the military and the U.S. government as a whole. That one incident is where I stopped being a True Believer. And that wasn't the last time I saw a serious accident where the military demonstrated how much they "cared," either.
Anthony Wile: How have your perceptions changed since you enlisted and then left?
Jack Perry: I'd say I've become even more suspicious about the military as a whole since then. I noticed that the military was literally throwing lives away in Iraq and look how the wounded were being treated at Walter Reed, for example. Did you know that around 20 veterans a day commit suicide?
Look, this was going on in the 1970s with Vietnam War vets – I saw that growing up – and now the VA comes out and acts like they've discovered America. Give me a break over here. The worst thing you can do in this country right now is enlist. You might as well put yourself on the suicide watch list and put the suicide prevention hotline number on your speed dial if you enlist. Yeah, "Support The Troops" – until you get out. Then they don't know you anymore. That goes for all vets, by the way. I've never been to one job interview where they asked if I was a vet.
Anthony Wile: What was a turning point for you?
Jack Perry: Like I said, a training accident where some crappy M-16A1 rifles were worth more than the soldiers carrying them. "The weapons! The weapons!" You'd have thought those weapons were made of solid gold. It didn't help that we were also training Guatemalan soldiers and I wondered what that was about. Yeah, well, I found out what they'd gone home and done. And so I played a small part in that. We are all responsible for these crimes as long as we support this, even if we do so by silence.
Anthony Wile: How did you live your life after the military? Did you go back to school?
Jack Perry: I've actually never been to college. When I got out of the Army, I was pretty much a nomad. I went where I wanted and had nothing but what I could carry in a pickup. I've been a truck driver, tow truck operator, electrical equipment repairman, and I've even worked in a fruit-packing shed. You can learn more about life by getting out there and living it than in college. Colleges teach you curriculum. Life teaches you life. It wasn't easy. But I've seen things and done things most people only read about in books.
Anthony Wile: Why did you start writing? You're very witty.
Jack Perry: Thanks! I started writing while living in Los Angeles; Hollywood, actually. Mostly poetry and short snippets about stuff I saw there. I used to post this on this bulletin board in the apartment building I lived in. They got up a betting pool to try and figure out who it was. But the political writing started about a year ago when I finally said, "I need to say something here. I just can't keep silent anymore." And I wrote an article, sent it off, and got it published. Since then, that's what I do.
Anthony Wile: How would you characterize your politics?
Jack Perry: Actually, I consider myself apolitical. I'm not attached to any political party. I need the flexibility to say, "No, this is wrong," or, "Excuse me, but this is what's right." The major problem we have in America right now is that people are so attached to their political parties they'll do what they know to be wrong. My own political beliefs are, basically, do what's right. And what's right? If your own heart cannot tell you what the difference is between right and wrong, well, you need to spend more time in prayer and meditation and less in the voting or public office.
Anthony Wile: How did you end up writing for Lew Rockwell?
Jack Perry: Lew was the first place I sent my very first article.
Anthony Wile: What do you think of the great war novels of World War II like Norman Mailer's Naked and the Dead?
Jack Perry: I think novels can be great, but we now have a fundamentally ignorant population in America that no longer reads anything beyond text messages. Look, we've got Christians out there that haven't even read the Bible, Buddhists who haven't even read so much as the Diamond Sutra. Therefore, how can you espouse that which you don't truly understand? Easy. The TV tells them. Movies tell them. "Life Coaches" tell them. So, war novels can tell people that war is horrible, but it cannot compete with certain movies that glorify it and wave the flag. The visual impact is just too much to overcome.
Anthony Wile: Do you think US intelligence in some sense sponsored or eased the way for the war genre after World War II?
Jack Perry: I know they did. The Department of Defense will only cooperate with movies that are pro-war. If you want to film on the deck of an aircraft carrier, you need their cooperation. Every movie made that has footage filmed on-location on military bases with military weapons has been approved by the Pentagon. Now, when other countries did that, we called that "propaganda." "Triumph of the Will," and all that. But when we do it, it's called Hollywood, see?
Anthony Wile: We noticed Norman Mailer wrote a huge book about the CIA. He always needed money and presumably there might have been some sort of relationship
Jack Perry: You might be surprised at who gets money from the CIA. Look up "In-Q-Tel," for example. Look up "Skybuilt Power." Yeah, here were these granolas saying, "Oh, look at us! We're building green energy wind turbines! We're so cosmic!" Right, and the CIA was buying those wind turbines through Skybuilt Power to outfit black sites in Afghanistan.
Anthony Wile: Tell us about the military-industrial complex.
Jack Perry: It's deeper than anyone knows or admits. It's all built upon the "These are good jobs!" shibboleth. Listen, I live in Tucson now. This city is predominantly liberal to the core. But on any given day, it sounds like we're in a war zone. Davis-Monthan AFB is running A-10s, F-16s and C-130s low-level over this city constantly. And the city basically kisses Davis-Monthan's bootie to make sure the base stays here. Why? Because those are GOOD JOBS! So, even the liberals dig the military. They need to change the bumper stickers they've all got on their Prius cars to say: "End War – Unless Doing So Costs Me My Job."
We have Raytheon here and they make missiles. And I happen to know that liberals work there, too. Now, they'll whine about this-or-that humanitarian disaster and won't ever admit that they play a part in that. Excuse me, but those missiles are used in wars. They kill people. So how can you occupy some moral high ground and pontificate to the rest of us about what's moral when you yourself don't even do what's moral? The military-industrial complex is now "Green," did you know that? Yes, and I worked in a place once that was staffed by liberals almost as a majority. But the CIA's money is spent there. They had private military contractors come in as prospective clients. Everyone thinks the military-industrial complex is a Republican, conservative thing. Excuse me, but it was a Republican that coined the phrase to begin with. But the liberals and Democrats are in just as deep as neocons.
Anthony Wile: Who runs America?
Jack Perry: Wall Street and the Pentagon. Listen, is it any wonder that the SAME people go from Wall Street, to government office, to Pentagon positions, and then back to Wall Street? We are all serfs in this equation, but we live under the illusion we're free. Free? How so? Can you declare that you take nothing from the government and, therefore, owe no taxes? Can you build your own home without a permit? Wall Street is collectively pauperizing the entire country and people think that's freedom.
The Pentagon starts wars with nations about 80% of Americans can't find on the map and people think that's freedom. And when you have a population as collectively ignorant as this one, this control is remarkably easy to maintain.
Anthony Wile: What is the ultimate aim of the Pentagon?
Jack Perry: The same as everyone else that was cut from the same cloth as them – like the Romans, for instance. It's about control and power and wealth. And all three of those are actually the same thing. Every major power in history has done this, without exception. No country has become immune to tyranny once it has amassed power of the status we call "superpower."
The Romans were a superpower. Look what they did, killing and enslaving entire nations. No nation has ever overcome the desire to wield such power in a way that enriched it while enslaving others. Find me one honest and decent nation in history that had the power of the United States. And, no, it isn't the United States, either.
The Book of Ecclesiastes tells us there is no new thing under the sun. You can find the truth of the human condition in the Bible. Every major power in history seeks to enrich itself and enslave others. Or kill them if they resist. It's because of greed. Every religion – Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, all of them – warn us repeatedly about greed. Because from greed proceeds all the murders, wars, crimes, and so forth. Is it as simple as that? Yes, it is. Overcoming greed takes tremendous self-discipline and religious devotion. Many people can't do it. How less so an entire government composed of people dedicated to the principles of greed?
Anthony Wile: Does the US seek to win wars?
Jack Perry: No. We don't need to win wars to profit from them. See, towards the end of World War II is when the defense contractors saw the money to be made off of wars. That's when the expensive weapons like B-29s began to be realized as huge money makers. But if a war ends, then how will you sell more of those weapons? The value is in the destruction of the weapon, because then it has to be replaced. Do you follow what I'm saying here? That's why the Cold War was an "arms race." It was the constant replacement of weapons because the military told us they were "obsolete" just a few years after they were manufactured. And we needed to keep up with the Soviets.
Davis-Monthan AFB here is also known as "The Boneyard" because it's where the Air Force has junked the decades worth of crap they badgered us into buying. There it sits out there, a tremendous monument to waste and the stupidity of mankind. But something funny happened at the end of the Cold War. How could money be made with the Soviets gone? Easy. Begin having little wars all over the planet and then you create cash flow potential for the manufacturers of the cruise missiles and bombs. Has anyone noticed that since the end of the Cold War, we have been involved in one war or another ever since? Right. We have been at war for 25 years now. We are not seeking to win these wars. We only need to keep them going to sell weapons and occupy certain territory long enough to extract natural resources or just maintain a foothold.
Anthony Wile: How can the military-industrial complex be reduced or removed?
Jack Perry: People need to overcome pride and greed. This mindless patriotism must first be shed for the sin that it is. These wars happen because people support them. They think it's "unpatriotic" if they don't. Excuse me, but what's "patriotism"? And why was it wrong for the Germans in 1939, but it's ok for us to do the SAME right now? What was the difference between Germany invading Poland in 1939 and us invading Iraq in 2003? Many people forget the Germans invented a false-flag pretext to invade Poland, just like we did in Iraq. Since we refuse to repent from that, this just keeps going on and on. We'll probably end up committing ground troops en masse to Syria within the next few months. And for what? Because Assad ran Syria?
You see, patriotism is based on pride. It's also a form of idolatry that is no different than the Romans that made gods out of their emperors and demanded people sacrifice to them. That's what the Roman persecution of the early Christians was over, you know. They refused to offer sacrifice to the Roman emperor and, thus, were unpatriotic. Yet, many conservative Christian churches today have forgotten that and support every war this country gets into. They revere the flag as if it is some kind of holy relic. And what is that but idolatry? People need to first shed patriotism. That's number two.
Number One is shedding greed. I'm not saying everyone has to renounce all possessions and live like ascetics. But I'm saying this way of life we've got here has a price. Ok, those are good jobs over there at the Acme Missile Factory. But those missiles can only be manufactured and purchased if they are used. Listen, at some point, we need to become self-reliant as a nation. This thinking that we're all owed this "American way of life" is built on borrowed time, credit, and falsehoods. If you look into history, we had a pretty good life before we got into worldwide wars. That period of time is what produced the best American literature. And literature, by the way, that became classics in world literature. Is it any wonder we haven't produced another Walt Whitman in this age? Is it any wonder we haven't seen another Thoreau? I'm not saying it was perfect. But since World War One, our culture has begun to decline as our power as an empire has increased.
When I say we need to shed greed, I mean we need to start understanding the difference between what is ours and what belongs to someone else. Respecting private property rights should extend worldwide. Meaning, you don't get to tell other countries how to run their affairs or just fly over and drop bombs on them.
Anthony Wile: Can it happen in your lifetime?
Jack Perry: I don't know. I think some people are beginning to wake up. It takes a paradigm shift in what we truly value. Do we value human life, or do we value killing other people and watching it on TV, chanting, "USA! USA! USA!"? Do we value the rights of others to have their own property even if we do not agree with them? Or do we take it away from them and justify it as "national security"? But I'll tell you this. Nothing lasts forever. The Romans didn't. And neither will the United States.
Anthony Wile: How can the US population become less militaristic and more educated about its manipulation?
Jack Perry: They need to turn off the TV and READ!!! I can't say that strongly enough. People! Every time you turn on the TV to the major networks, you are being lied to. Even the commercials are lying to you.
"Buy this!" "Vote For Dorky McDoofus!" "Here, take this medicine. It might make you wet your pants and jump off a bridge, but take this medicine anyway because it'll make you happy." "Depressed? Ask your doctor if Plutoniumzor is right for you!" "Hey, kids! Eat this cereal!"
See, you have to pull the plug on all of that. Education is a personal responsibility and effort. I've read thousands of books and still read about two to three books a week. No one makes me. I've never been to college.
So I don't buy anyone's excuse that they don't have time, or no money, or no way to educate themselves. I did it and I haven't got any money. There are public libraries, people. Get off your butts, turn off the TV, and wake up. Because by the time you figure out what's going on may be too late. Maybe it already is.
Anthony Wile: Are wars ever worth fighting?
Jack Perry: Not any we've been in for well over a couple hundred years now.
Anthony Wile: Is war a means of domestic social control?
Jack Perry: Sure. It kills off the segment of the population most likely to rebel. Those that survive usually support militarism and the government afterwards.
Anthony Wile: Is the US an empire?
Jack Perry: Of course it is. Two hundred years into the future, schools will teach about "The American Empire" just like schools now teach about "The British Empire."
Anthony Wile: What's the best way to deal with militarism – to leave the US, to try to live free in an unfree world?
Jack Perry: Here's my advice. Turn off the TV, read, meditate, pray and realize that the United States is impermanent. It will not last forever. Don't buy anything just to buy it. Live simply. Live a life that affirms life, not one that justifies the taking of it. Walk with God. Find His paths. Speak up against wars when you hear the media beating the war drum. But don't become attached to any outcome. Things will come to be and then pass away. But if you center yourself in your spiritual practice, you will be unmoved by this. You will see this for what it is and refuse to be a pawn of militarism.
Anthony Wile: Any other comments you want to make, thoughts you want to share?
Jack Perry: We're living in an era of uncertainty. But when that is the case, you need to center yourself in a practice. Be that a spiritual practice or whatever, you need to center yourself. This government will not save you or provide for you that which only you yourself can provide. What, the government will enlighten you or bring you peace? Good luck with that, say I. Self-reliance means not relying upon the government, among other things. We've been at war for 25 years now. Had enough yet?
Anthony Wile: Other writing you'd like to mention?
Jack Perry: Well, I'm always looking for writing gigs. I have a book I'm looking to publish. But as for the writings of others, here's my list of what I call "The Backpack Books" – books I'd have if I could only take what fit into a backpack: The Holy Bible, The Buddhist Bible, Leaves of Grass by Walt Whitman, and a blank journal with plenty of pencils. See, it's important to write for yourself. You need to center yourself in your practice. Whether you alone read it, or you share it, write. Meditate, pray, read and write. You will wake up.
Anthony Wile: Thanks for sitting down with us.
Jack Perry: It has been a pleasure. God bless and keep you.
After Thoughts
Jack Perry makes a number of good points in this interview but two stand out. The first is his observation that the most important centers of power are Wall Street and the Pentagon – and that powerful people travel socially and professionally between these destinations.
He further states that "we live under the illusion we're free" and it is a testimony to how malleable people are that so many have believed this for so long. The Internet has made it a good deal easier to see through all kinds of sociopolitical and economic memes but understanding one's own manipulation and doing something about it are two different things.
Jack's solution is similar to ours: human action. Education is key and Jack's advice simple and cogent: "Turn off the TV and READ! … Every time you turn on the TV to the major networks, you are being lied to. Even the commercials are lying to you."
A wide frame of reference is the best protection against insularity, ignorance and fear. Knowledge creates more and better lifestyle choices. In these challenging times, comprehending one's options from a sociopolitical and economic standpoint is most necessary. Here at The Daily Bell we strive to promote a wider frame of reference. Our thanks to Jack for expanding what we understand.

Leading US-based Israeli group forced to close as public support for Israel declines
TEHRAN(Basirat): US-based pro-Israel advocacy organization, the Israel Project (TIP), has reportedly been forced to close its Israel office in anticipation of a complete shutdown due to a sharp decline in support.
Pro-Palestinian and pro-Israeli protesters argue during a rally outside the White House in Washington, August 9, 2014. (Photo by Reuters)
According to TIP managers, the group "simply ran out of money" after losing a large proportion of its annual funds and donations due to the increased "polarized political climate in the United States", Haaretz reported.
The pro-Israel group was a proponent of "hasbara", an Israeli concept seeking to legitimize Israel in the eyes of the world public opinion through disseminating propaganda.
The TIP formed in 2002 at the height of the second Palestinian Intifada, and sought to influence journalists and their coverage of Israel.
TIP activities gradually grew to cover multiple languages and countries, as well as conduct influence operations on the social media.
The group has been known for its hard-hitting stance against Iran and even Islam, going as far as promoting Islamophobia and conducting marketing research on how to "sell military action against Iran to the American public".
'We attacked the Iran deal'
The group prides itself on having lobbied extensively against the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, a key polarizing factor which also led to the group's sharp decline.
TIP's vice president and head of its Israel office Lior Weintraub, a former Israeli diplomat in Washington, described why the group gradually lost support among its donors.
"We attacked the Iran deal; because Israel became part of the internal American political debate;...because support for Israel became too complicated for some of them in these times," he said.
Critics believe the pro-Israel advocacy group became too closely aligned with the regime of Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, specifically in its bid to torpedo the Iran nuclear deal, alienating many American supporters across the political spectrum.
Consequently starting from 2015, the TIP lost a large number of its donations, and is currently on the verge of shutting down all together.
Last month, TIP CEO Josh Block, a former spokesman for the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, resigned from the organization, citing "the polarized political climate in the US, both in the wider body politic and inside the Jewish community".
Despite Trump's strongly pro-Israel foreign policy, the fall of the leading propaganda firm marks one of the latest signals of increasing negative public opinion regarding Israel in the US.
Trump's strong stance on Israel has pushed Tel Aviv into the center of the American political discussion, resulting in increased debate about Washington's support.
A recent Gallup poll found that American support for Israel has fallen to its lowest level in the past decade.
The decline was seen among both Democrats and Republicans. Followers of Trump's own party posted the sharpest decrease, however.

Employer branding has never been more important. Finding and keeping the best talent is one of the greatest competitive advantages a company can have. But, if a brand strategy focuses on the connection you have with your customers, then what does it have to do with your employer branding efforts? Everything.
Think of your employees more as tour guides than performers on a stage. They are there to show customers around, not act one way in front of the curtain and another way behind it. When employees live your brand, there are no lines to remember, no props to hide behind, and no perception of make-believe.
Plus, there's no such thing as "internal use only." Whether it is words, body language, decision-making processes, or even look and feel, the way your employees interact with you and each other is exactly the way they will interact with your customers.
Ready to let us show you how and why? We are.

Fundación Club Baloncesto Granada, also known as Covirán Granada by sponsorship reasons, is a basketball team based in Granada, Andalusia, Spain that currently plays in Liga ACB.

History

The Fundación CBG was founded in 2006 as an entity associated to basketball club CB Granada, with the aim to promote basketball and other nonprofit activities in the province of Granada.

In 2012, after the dissolution of CB Granada, the entity decided to create a senior basketball team that could replace the defunct club in the city. In its first season, the club promoted to Liga EBA after finishing as runner-up of the Andalusian group of Primera División de Baloncesto.

Two years later, in 2015, Covirán Granada qualifies to the final stage of Liga EBA and finishes winning its group in Albacete, achieving the promotion to LEB Plata, the third tier in Spanish basketball.

On 21 January 2017, Covirán Granada won its first title after defeating HLA Lucentum by 80–74 in the Copa LEB Plata, but failed in the attempt to promote to LEB Oro after being defeated in the semifinals by Sammic ISB.

Granada retained the Copa LEB Plata on 28 January 2018 by winning Fundación Globalcaja La Roda 71–63 after an overtime and promoted to LEB Oro on 14 April 2018 in Pamplona after conquering the title of the 2017–18 LEB Plata.

KSM Honored as a Top 50 Accounting Firm for 19th Year
INDIANAPOLIS – Katz, Sapper & Miller has been named one of the "Best of the Best" accounting firms in the country by INSIDE Public Accounting (IPA) for a 19th time.
IPA's Best of the Best is an annual list of the top accounting firms that have delivered superior financial results in the most recent fiscal year while planning for long-term, sustainable growth. Selections for the list are based on more than 50 metrics related to firm growth, income, productivity, staff development, governance, and more.
Just 50 firms are selected annually for this prestigious recognition. KSM is one of only two Indiana-based public accounting firms to earn the honor this year.
"Using their creativity and ingenuity, our people help our clients solve their most difficult challenges day in and day out," said David Resnick, KSM managing partner. "2020 has shown us that a true partnership between client and firm is more important than ever and being named to IPA's Best of the Best list for a 19th time helps underscore that deep commitment we at KSM hold for our clients, our culture, and our work."
"Best of the Best firms represent the top performers of their peer group, which is an exceptional accomplishment in the competitive world of public accounting. They excel by leaning in to help clients, being proactive, and seeking solutions – not just selling services," says Michael Platt, principal of the Platt Group and publisher of the accounting trade publication, INSIDE Public Accounting. "And while most firms can boast 'having good people,' one hallmark that is common across Best of the Best firms is their ability to leverage their team and create employee opportunities by building a work environment that team members are excited about and proud to work for."
IPA has named the top 50 Best of the Best firms in the U.S. since 1994. A complete list of IPA's 2020 Best of the Best can be found on its website.

Don't take us something that we're not.
rather have none and do we think what's right.
What are your plans, for the future now?
And can you say who does the writing?
How did you get -- who gave the name of the band?
and your life seems worth while to you.
was no use, had no reason.
and you can't come home not today.
not for those men, they can't hear.
hoping that change is going to be mine.
spreading it out over the bad years.
what have I been in life?
Had no end to aspire to.
how could he know how time goes.
made my way only as I was able.
lost all count of days.
Where's the float for the gas?
How much left does he have?
but won't dream till she's old.
how could she have been so wrong.
they move, the game hasn't an end.
my say is real, they say only pretend.
Wait for that day, for my good.
When I sell myself again.
Wait for that day for my good.
that I lost my head.
but today I can see.

← Why I won't vote for PTI
Italian NeoRealism →
by Zia Ahmad | May 13, 2013 · 6:27 pm
•Italian Neo-Realism (Italian: Neorealismo) is a style of film characterized by stories set amongst the poor and working class, filmed on location and frequently using nonprofessional actors. Italian neorealist films mostly contend with the difficult economical and moral conditions of post-World War II Italy, reflecting the changes in the Italian psyche and the conditions of everyday life: poverty and desperation. Notable directors of this movement include Vittorio De Sica,Roberto Rossellini, Luchino Visconti , Cesare Zavattini.
•With the fall of Mussolini's Fascist regime in 1943 and the end of World War II, international audiences were suddenly introduced to Italian films through a few note-worthy works by Roberto Rossellini (1906–1977), Vittorio De Sica (1902–1974), and Luchino Visconti (1906–1976). Italian directors, newly freed from Fascist censorship, were able to merge a desire for cinematic realism (a tendency already present during the Fascist period) with social, political, and economic themes that would never have been tolerated by the regime. Neorealist films often took a highly critical view of Italian society and focused attention upon glaring social problems, such as the effects of the Resistance and the war, postwar poverty, and chronic unemployment.
•The neorealist style was developed by a circle of film critics that revolved around the magazine Cinema, including Michelangelo Antonioni, Luchino Visconti, Gianni Puccini, Cesare Zavattini, Giuseppe De Santis and Pietro Ingrao. Largely prevented from writing about politics (the editor-in-chief of the magazine was none other than Vittorio Mussolini, son of Benito Mussolini), the critics attacked the telefono bianco (White Telephone) films that dominated the industry at the time.
• These films tended to be socially conservative, promoting family values, respect for authority, a rigid class hierarchy, and country life. The Neorealist filmmakers saw their gritty films as a reaction to the idealized Telefono Bianco style. They compared and contrasted the high-almighty gimmicks of set and studio production, with the devastated beauty of everyday, rigorous human life and suffering, and chose to work on location and with non-professional actors instead.
There are a number of traits that make Neo-Realism distinct.
•Neorealist films are generally filmed with nonprofessional actors (though, in a number of cases, well known actors were cast in leading roles, playing strongly against their normal character types in front of a background populated by local people rather than extras brought in for the film).
• They are shot almost exclusively on location, mostly in poor neighborhoods and in the countryside.
• The subject matter involves life among the impoverished and the working class. Realism is always emphasized, and performances are mostly constructed from scenes of people performing fairly mundane and quotidian activities, completely devoid of the self-consciousness that amateur acting usually entails.
•Neo-Realism preferred location shooting rather than studio work, as well as the grainy kind of photography associated with documentary newsreels. While it is true that, for a while, the film studios were unavailable after the war, neorealist directors shunned them primarily because they wanted to show what was going on in the streets and piazzas of Italy immediately after the war. Contrary to the belief that explains on-location shooting by its supposed lower cost, such filming often cost much more than work in the more easily controlled studios; in the streets, it was never possible to predict lighting, weather, and the unforeseen occurrence of money-wasting disturbances.
•Perhaps the most original characteristic of the new Italian realism in film was the brilliant use of nonprofessional actors by Rossellini, De Sica, and Visconti, though many of the films accepted as neorealist depended upon excellent performances by seasoned professional actors.
•The period between 1945 and 1950 in the history of Italian cinema is dominated by the impact of Neo-Realism, which is properly defined as a moment or a trend in Italian film, rather than an actual school or group of theoretically motivated and like-minded directors and scriptwriters. Its impact nevertheless has been enormous, not only on Italian film but also on French New Wave cinema as well as the New Iranian cinema and ultimately on films all over the world, namely Satyajit Ray's Pathar Panchali to Rahim Bahrini's Man Push Cart.
Summary of Italian NeoRealism
•Characteristics of Italian NeoRealism?
Has a sharp contrast with montage, shows people and things as they commonly are, non-trained actors, shooting on location. More about 'why' a film should be made rather than 'how'.
•What challenges were faced by Italian-Neorealist filmmakers?
scarcity of film, weak infrastructure for film production, general existential struggles in an atmosphere of destruction and war.
•What was Italian NeoRealism about?
NeoRealism, what kinds of films would reflect the world they knew at the time, explored why a film should be made, made films to depict truth of situations/people.
•Why did white telephone films and romantic comedies give way to Italian-Neo Realism?
Italy, after WWII, had a 22% unemployment rate, Significant portion of the population had no work, no money, and were barely surviving, Zavattini – said ' we can't make romantic comedies and white telephone films anymore, we have to make films that deal with the reality of Italy post-WWII, a 22% unemployment rate, and a destroyed rome.'
•What changes did Italian Neo-Realists make with conventional italian filmmaking?
No professional actors, they thought it was offensive to ask someone to pretend to be somewhere else shoot on location, real locations, get rid of elaborate scripts, loose idea for a story, and allowed people to play themselves in that situation.
•How did Italian neo-realism relate to documentary filmmaking?
Italian Neo Realism is a lot like documentary, and was made possible by the same technology (lightweight cameras) that were used to document WWII.

Clark reflects on an historic season, career
Nov 3, 2021 | Sports | 0 comments
BY YANEEK SMITH, BEACON CONTRIBUTOR
Grayson Clark had already secured his place as being one of, if not the greatest golfers in Danbury history. His recent performance at the Division III state tournament only added to his list of accolades.
The senior is the only golfer in school history to qualify for the state tournament, and recently tied for 19th out of 72 golfers. He shot a +21 on 36 holes, carding a 75 followed by an 88 for a total of 163 strokes at The Ohio State University Scarlet Course.
"Clark always had the physical skills," said Danbury coach Dan Humphrey. "He's long off the tee — probably the longest kid there — but what he was missing was that mental edge. He had to not get ahead of himself when having a good hole, and not get down on yourself when you're having a bad hole.
"We had a team shirt and it had the state of Ohio on the back nine, so it was definitely a goal of ours. We had several goals in mind, but the ultimate goal was to get to Columbus."
At districts, Clark finished third with a 70 to finish third at Stone Ridge Golf Club in Bowling Green.
"At times you lose your swing. You're never going to have it all, and it's rare when you do," said Humphrey. "You have to rely on his really great short game, and he's got a short putter. That was as close to a perfect round as he's had at districts."
Clark talked about his performance at districts.
"It was unreal. When I first entered the clubhouse after the round at districts, just to see my name near the top of the leaderboard was an overall shock, but pure joy," Clark said. "A relief in a way, it was a goal I had all throughout high school."
Clark credits his parents with exposing him to golf at a young age.
"My parents both enjoy the sport, so they would take me and my brother out to play. Once we first went out, we never looked back. We didn't stop playing. I think it started when I was four or five," Clark says. "It's been an amazing experience. I've always loved the sport. I didn't get serious until seventh or eighth grade when I started competing in tournaments.
"My brother, Gavin, he's a sophomore, and he made it to districts as well. He's always pushed me, he's a fierce competitor. It's always been fun to have someone to play with. If I'm going to play golf and I ask him if he wants to come along, he'll say, sure.
He loves it just as much as I do. I look forward to what he can do in the next few years."
Clark also credits Humphrey for his leadership.
"He's been such a big reason for my success," Clark said. "He's helped me when I've been down. I'm so thankful for all he's done for me with my high school experience."
At this point, Clark is considering playing golf in college.
Clark carries a 3.9 GPA, and is a member of the National Honor Society.
"He's a wonderful kid to be around," said Humphrey. "He's a gentleman and has good manners. That's kind of rare."

The media sound bite goes like this: "Ellen MacArthur, 34, champion sailor famed for her record-breaking solo round-the-world journeys, gives up competitive sailing to save the planet." And this book recounts that transformation with the detail, depth, passion and clarity it deserves. For those who only know of Ellen through her sailing exploits, this long, reflective book rounds out the picture of an extraordinary personality with a significant message: that the most important challenge a person can take on is that of changing her mind.
I'm not a sailor; I can't even swim, and I stand in awe of Ellen's voyages and her phenomenal success. There is plenty in the book about her early love of boats, her supportive family, her steely determination to learn to sail, her focus and drive to win races in the face of tremendous odds. There's a glossary of sailing terms and photographs of her various boats to help the non-expert understand the vividly written sailing sections and you sense she is reliving the journeys as she writes.
It is, however, Ellen's personal trans-formation that is the most compelling narrative thread. As an educator who has spent many years thinking about and attempting to convey the idea of 'sustainability', I identified with Ellen's frustration as she too became aware of the concept but struggled to express it. In public, she was lamely advising audiences to 'use less', which she knew was coming across as a real turn-off. She realised then that she was conveying fear, not hope.
As I was reading her book, Stephan Harding's Animate Earth was also at my side and I realised Ellen had actually gone through the three stages outlined by Arne Naess in Deep Ecology and described by Harding: deep experience, leading to deep questioning, leading to deep commitment. How did she come to that deep experience? By stopping!
On a camping trip to the remote islands of South Georgia in the Antarctic, she had time to sit and think. She saw old whaling stations reduced to a collection of rusting boats and abandoned buildings, and realised that what humans do is find a resource, take it, make things with it, create waste and move on. Fossil oil came on stream just as the great whales, once so plentiful, were close to extinction; and even with their hunting now so drastically reduced, Ellen had seen no whales at all in the Southern Ocean.
What also moved her were the albatrosses who kept her company as she absorbed the peace and tranquillity of these wild and beautiful islands. Her interactions with one young male – the haunting photograph shows the bird's unbearably intelligent and poignant gaze – and her awareness of the precariousness of his existence are the 'deep experience' that precedes the deep questioning Ellen goes through on her return home. She muses on "how spectacularly we can miss the point. How we as a species can not only watch a resource deplete before our eyes, but then quite simply walk away, and move on to the next one." A sailor has to manage a small number of finite resources until her voyage ends and she is able to refuel and restock: but there is no such refuelling station for the Earth.
Exploring the idea of living within planetary limits, she began to wonder: "Why had I, together with every other child of my generation, not been taught this at school?" How could she use her proven leadership qualities to frame these new insights in a way that would be inspiring and positive?
A timely meeting with Ken Webster, co-author of Sense and Sustainability: Educating for a Low Carbon World, supplied the focus she required. First, she needed to rediscover her optimism; and second, she needed to understand the basic rules of life: the world is "an intricate web of systems", where resources are actually abundant when used according to the rule that waste from one process is food for another.
This 'closed-loop' system has been truly sustainable for millions of years. So don't tinker with the broken old linear 'take-make-dispose' system, but "adopt the rules which have been proven to work for millennia". No longer a 'no more' solution, but a 'do more' solution: with the closed-loop model, things are "made to be made again".
Ellen's deep commitment to this energising vision is embodied in her new Foundation, set up to "ensure that the next generation has the necessary skills to rethink, redesign and ultimately rebuild our sustainable future". She now has a new vessel, and a brilliant star to steer her by.
It will be the greatest voyage of her life.

Since most beauty bloggers have been raving about sea salt spray and how it was really in trend, I thought it was time to join them to see if they are really all that. I decided to go with the L'Oreal Studio Matt & Messy spray which retails at about £3.56 in Superdrug and Boots as the advert looked promising and I've used other L'Oreal hair products in the past.
On the label it says to "Spray on dry or damp hair and ruffle for an instant texturising effect. For tousled waves define sections and twist with your fingers." which is exactly what I did on the pictures below.
This is my hair after I've got out the shower, no products and just blow dried.
After, just sprayed and ruffled my hair.
As you can see my hair is textured after spraying but sadly, this is as good as it gets. Within 10-20 minutes my hair was straight and very sticky to touch. I found the smell of the spray to linger all day and actually make me a little sick by the night.
I did try and give it a second chance on another day when I had curled my hair using my tongs and instead of using hairspray, I opted for the sea salt and once again wished I hadn't bothered!
I want to say it was just my hair type and that the spray was really good but it's not a favourite of mine and I wouldn't be buying again!

Jarków (, ) ist ein Dorf im Powiat Kłodzki in der Woiwodschaft Niederschlesien in Polen. Es gehört zur Landgemeinde Lewin Kłodzki (Lewin) und liegt neun Kilometer westlich von Duszniki-Zdrój (Bad Reinerz) entfernt.

Geographie
Jarków liegt westlich des Glatzer Kessels. Nachbarorte sind Lewin Kłodzki im Nordosten, Krzyżanów (Krzyschney) im Osten, Taszów (Tassau) im Südosten, Brzozowie (Birkhagen) im Nordwesten und Jeleniów (Gellenau) im Nordwesten. Jenseits der Grenze zu Tschechien, die einen Kilometer in Süd und West entfernt verläuft, liegt im Südwesten Borová.

Geschichte
"Jarkow" gehörte ursprünglich zur böhmischen Herrschaft Nachod und wurde erstmals 1477 erwähnt. Damals gliederte Herzog Heinrich d. Ä., dem seit 1472 die Herrschaften Nachod und Hummel sowie die Grafschaft Glatz gehörten, das gesamte Kirchspiel der Lewiner Pfarrkirche St. Michael, zu dem Järker gehörte, in die Herrschaft Hummel und diese im selben Jahr in seine Grafschaft Glatz ein. 1561 erwarb der böhmische Landesherr die Herrschaft Hummel. Auch nach deren Auflösung 1595 blieben die zugehörigen Ortschaften im Besitz der königlichen Kammer. Sie verkaufte 1684 Järker und die benachbarten Dörfer Gellenau, Sackisch, Tanz, Tassau, Kleingeorgsdorf und Großgeorgsdorf zur Finanzierung der Türkenkriege dem Kaspar Josef von Alten, dem schon das Freirichtergut in Gellenau gehörte. Dadurch wurde Järker zum Gutsbezirk Gellenau untertänig.

Nach dem Ersten Schlesischen Krieg 1742 und endgültig nach dem Hubertusburger Frieden 1763 kam Järker zusammen mit der Grafschaft Glatz an Preußen. 1793 bestand es aus 20 Häusern in denen 155 Einwohner lebten. Nach der Neugliederung Preußens gehörte es ab 1815 zur Provinz Schlesien und war 1816–1945 dem Landkreis Glatz eingegliedert. Es bildete eine eigene Landgemeinde und gehörte zum Amtsbezirkl Gellenau. 1939 wurden 117 Einwohner gezählt.

Als Folge des Zweiten Weltkriegs fiel Järker 1945 wie fast ganz Schlesien an Polen und wurde in Jarków umbenannt. Die deutsche Bevölkerung wurde weitgehend vertrieben. Die neu angesiedelten Bewohner waren zum Teil Heimatvertriebene aus Ostpolen, das an die Sowjetunion gefallen war. Die Zahl der Einwohner ging deutlich zurück, wodurch zahlreiche Häuser dem Verfall preisgegeben wurden. 1975–1998 gehörte Jarków zur Woiwodschaft Wałbrzych (Waldenburg).

If you or a loved one has been accused of super-aggravated sexual assault of a child, you need a lawyer who will fight for you and defend your good name. Sexual crimes against children are serious offenses that the State of Texas aggressively pursues. You can't fight these charges alone, nor should you have to.
When you contact the Law Office of Paul Schiffer, you don't just get an experienced attorney who has tried cases like this before, you get a compassionate and understanding team that will stand by you from beginning to end. When you work with us, we will never judge you because of the charges against you. Instead, we will treat you with the dignity and respect you deserve.
What is Super-Aggravated Sexual Assault of a Child?
According to the Texas Penal Code, super-aggravated sexual assault of a child is an extension of aggravated sexual assault of a child that has been enhanced because of certain additional factors. An aggravated sexual assault of a child becomes super-aggravated when the alleged victim is under the age of six, or if the accused is convicted of a violent sexual assault against someone under the age of 14. This enhanced crime carries enhanced penalties and has far reaching consequences.
Super aggravated sexual assault of a child is relatively new to the Texas Penal Code. It was designed to deter offenders from repeating the same crime after they have been released. It is one of the most serious felonies in the state.
The Definition of the Crime
Super-aggravated sexual assault of a child involves sexual contact between the alleged victim and the accused's sex organs, anus, or mouth. In order for the crime to be established, aggravated sexual assault of a child must have also occurred.
Under Section 22.021, aggravated sexual assault of a child includes two basic elements. The first is an intentional sexual assault (penetration) without consent. The second element is one or more of the following:
serious bodily injury to the alleged victim;
attempt to kill the alleged victim;
that the alleged victim feared they or someone else would die;
that the alleged victim feared they or someone else would be harmed;
that the alleged victim feared they or someone else would be kidnapped;
the use of a deadly weapon or the showing a deadly weapon;
that the accused acted in concert with another in the initial act;
that the accused used a drug like Rohypnol, gamma hydroxybutyrate or ketamine to facilitate the sexual assault; or
that the victim is under the age of 14, or is disabled or elderly.
Aggravated sexual assault of a child is committed when the two above elements are present against any victim under the age of 17. If the alleged victim is under the age of 14, there doesn't need to be another factor like violent force, or the use of threats, weapons, or drugs. While those elements need not be present, the charge can be more serious if they are.
Again, the crime becomes super-aggravated when the alleged victim is under the age of six, or if the sexual assault is of a child younger than 14 and caused serious bodily injury or attempted to cause death.
Note that, even if the alleged victim gave his or her consent to the sexual contact, a crime would still have been committed, because a child can't legally give consent to a sexual act because of their age. Since consent isn't a defense, having an experienced and knowledgeable defense attorney on your side is incredibly important. Similarly, ignorance of the child's age in any of these cases can't be used as a defense.
Proving Super-Aggravated Sexual Assault of a Child
Because of the serious nature of these cases, prosecutors aggressively pursue them. However, the necessary elements of these cases are not always easy to prove. During the trial, the prosecution must prove that each element of the crime has occurred, and that the accused is the person who actually committed it.
Besides that, the prosecution has to prove the age of the alleged victim at the time of the offense. In super-aggravated sexual assault of a child, this means proving that they were under the age of six at that time, or that the child was younger than 14 and was the victim of serious bodily injury or there was an attempt to kill the child. "Serious" is a legal term that requires both a factual and legal analysis by an experienced lawyer like Paul Schiffer.
The prosecution will also have to prove that the other factors outlined in the definition of the crime were present. Everything that the prosecution presents needs to be proven beyond a reasonable doubt in order to obtain a verdict of guilty.
That can leave some room for a good defense attorney to attack the prosecution's case. Having a quality defense attorney can be the difference between your freedom and a lengthy prison sentence.
Possible Penalties
Super-aggravated sexual assault of a child is a first-degree felony in Texas. It carries a prison sentence ranging from 25 years to life, fines up to $10,000, and the defendant's ineligibility for parole. Since it's an enhanced extension of an already serious crime, the punishment is enhanced under the Texas Penal Code, in an effort to deter convicted offenders from repeating the same crime.
Here is a breakdown of related sexual assault crimes and their penalties so you can see the difference:
Crime Classification Punishment
Super aggravated sexual assault of a child First-degree felony 25 years to life in state prison, maximum fines of $10,000, lifetime sex offender registration, ineligible for parole
Aggravated sexual assault of an adult or child First-degree felony 5-99 years in state prison, maximum fines of $10,000, lifetime sex offender registration
Sexual assault of an adult or child Second-degree felony 2-20 years in state prison, maximum fines of $10,000, lifetime sex offender registration
Further Ramifications
If you're found guilty of this crime, your punishment doesn't necessarily end when you complete your sentence. There are consequences that can affect your life from the moment you are released from prison. Some of these consequences are:
restrictions on where you can live and work;
difficulty finding or keeping a job;
the inability to volunteer with certain organizations;
the inability to obtain or the revocation of certain professional licenses;
difficulties running for public office;
loss of custody or visitation rights of biological children;
difficulty fostering or adopting a child;
the inability to possess firearms;
negative impact to immigration status, and denial of citizenship;
public stigma in your community;
strained personal relationships;
difficulty gaining admission to college or similar schools;
the denial of financial aid for school; and
the denial of government aid or difficulty applying for government aid.
Since super-aggravated sexual assault of a child is a reportable offense in Texas, you'll be required to register as a sex offender. Due to the nature of this crime, this is a lifetime registration once you're released from prison. Registration will affect where you live and where you're able to work, and may damage your personal relationships.
As a registered sex offender, your name and address will appear in a public database that can be accessed by anyone. This national registry can also disclose things like your employer's name and address, the name and address of the school you're attending, and your vehicle's description and license plate number. You will also need special permission to travel in some cases, and you might have your passport revoked.
As a sex offender, you may be required to enroll in a local treatment or management program like the Sex Offender Treatment Program or the Sex Offender Management Program, both run by the Federal Bureau of Prisons.
Note that failure to complete this registration, failing to update your status, or entering wrong information is considered a felony under federal law that can result an additional prison sentence for up to 10 years, as well as additional fines. The State of Texas will also prosecute you for failing to register.
Possible Defenses Against a Charge of Super-Aggravated Sexual Assault of a Child
Super-aggravated sexual assault of a child is a tough case for both sides of the courtroom. The prosecution has a lot to prove, but the defense doesn't have some of the reliable defenses that it can employ for other, similar, crimes. For example, the alleged victim's consent is not a defense in this case, because of the youth of the alleged victim.
That being said, however, a good, high-quality defense attorney like Paul Schiffer and his team knows what to look for to craft your best possible defense against these charges. An experienced defense attorney knows that proving the elements of this crime isn't always as easy as it sounds.
Why You Need a Defense Attorney
The prosecution faces a high hurdle to prove the elements of this crime beyond a reasonable doubt. That leaves room for a qualified defense attorney like Paul Schiffer and his team to come in and fight for you.
Sex crimes like super-aggravated sexual assault of a child are highly technical. It's important that your defense attorney has experience with this specific type of cases. Only then can you be sure that your defense attorney knows how to properly defend you in a trial, if a trial becomes necessary. Your defense attorney must have experience in building your defense from the start, cross-examining witnesses, consulting and using expert witnesses to rebut the charges, and presenting the facts to a jury in a way that will convince the fact finders that you are not guilty of the charges against you.
At the Law Office of Paul Schiffer, we understand how serious the charges against you are. We'll explain everything to you completely so you understand what you're dealing with. We'll listen to your case, analyze it, and tell you what you can expect based on the facts presented. There will be no surprises and we'll keep you informed of everything every step of the way.

What tomorrow's monitoring of coating processes might look like will be presented by the Laser Zentrum Hannover e.V. (LZH) at the Optatec 2018 in Frankfurt/Main from May 15th to 17th, 2018, in hall 3 at booth A 58. This year's three focuses of the LZH are: in-situ particle detection, spectrally high-resolution online monitoring and flexible measurement technology.
Especially for longer coating processes it is important to check the optics for defect growth and inclusions during the process.
Inspection of an optical component.
The LZH develops systems for in-situ particle detection, which can be used to control complex coatings.
These make it possible to identify sources of contamination in the process and to minimize or even eliminate them.
Complex multi-layer systems with the highest spectral requirements call for a high-resolution layer thickness monitoring in order to be able to meet the specifications.
The LZH is working on online monitoring systems that also meet future resolution requirements. Likewise, the LZH is researching a flexible measurement technology for quality control even for small optics and fibers.
At the trade fair, the LZH will continue to offer its expertise and advice in the area of coating and process development.
These include optics for space applications, astronomy, laser applications and lighting technology.

'The Power of the Dog' Doesn't Idealize Queerness and Is Better for It
The new Benedict Cumberbatch film is no 'Brokeback Mountain' repeat
By George Elkind|2021-11-19T16:14:02-05:00November 19th, 2021|Entertainment, Features|
Growing acceptance has created a new suite of possibilities for queer storytelling in mainstream films. The sly, charged and freely oppositional work of the New Queer Cinema that dominated Hollywood in the late '80s and early '90s (itself influenced by gay creators like the multi-disciplinary David Wojnarowicz and Bavarian auteur Rainer Werner Fassbender) can often feel distant today.
Reflecting a conservative shift in Hollywood, works about queer people — and particularly cisgender gay males — have trended lately towards uplift. There's a desire, even a longing, for the gauzy, romantic, and most positive forms of depiction, and it's not so hard to imagine why. These versions of queer life were long thought unimaginable. But that doesn't make them particularly real, either.
Forget queer identity posing any enduring problems or even concerns for movies' characters; regardless, often, of questions of genre, period or milieu, such matters have become politically and socially incidental. Whether through the long summer vacation in "Call Me By Your Name," ferris wheel kisses in "Love, Simon," or the picket-fenced form of gay family life presented in "Eternals," these stories serve as a for-some-welcome escape hatch from everyday life. Portraying queer folk as role models (or literal superheroes) by celebrating monogamous, nurturing relationships with appeal across a range of audiences and tastes, these works suggest that actualizing acceptance should be easy — and why not? The queer people in them are so like everyone else that they might as well be straight.
But what about when everyone else isn't happy, and the world isn't so kind? This true-to-life, less utopic version of existence should sound more familiar. In writer-director Jane Campion's new adaptation of Thomas Savage's 1967 novel "The Power of the Dog," fantasy becomes reality for no one and honeymoons exist as brief stops at scenic overlooks, or within the space of idling memories and daydreams.

The film follows a whole cast of characters, headlined by two unlike brothers, the Montana ranchers Phil and George Burbank (played by Benedict Cumberbatch and Jesse Plemons, respectively) who are unable to live in a state of ease. After George, the gentler of them, quietly marries Rose, a local innkeeper (sweetly played by Plemons' real-life wife Kirsten Dunst), he tries to integrate her with her gangly, effete and quite enigmatic son Peter (Kodi Smit-McPhee) into their shared home. After marrying into the family, Rose — and later Peter, who's off to study medicine for much of the year — move out to the Burbanks' ranch, where they attempt to make a life together along with Phil and George.
Cumberbatch's Phil isn't the one married to Rose, but the two make a bitter match. Spitting vitriol at her and Peter, who he teases over his delicate craft projects, he labors to project a macho demeanor at every moment he can. Wearing spurs indoors, spurning baths and torching stacks of perfectly usable — and salable — cowhides, Phil's a man whose every breath taken in must be followed by an exhalation of spite.
But as the 1925-set film makes quite plain, there's an urgency — arguably a necessity — to at least a portion of Phil's viciously gendered performance. When Peter, as much a driving mystery as a viewer surrogate in the movie, finds some clues to Phil's secret queer identity, the pair form an improbable bond.
But "Brokeback Mountain" this is not. More a frontier psychodrama than an action-driven western with the kinds of shootouts or even fisticuffs one might expect, "Power of the Dog" makes its rugged environs an extension of the domestic, rendering it a story less about people adventuring out than working to live with themselves and each other at home. This struggle's not exclusive to its queer characters — everyone in it is connected by interlinked burdens. Refusing a fantasy space or the kind of martyr-victim roles that might prove gratifying — and familiar — to viewers from works like "Brokeback," Campion's visions of conflict here don't require or even allow for the sanctification of anyone.

At the same time, "Power" treats queer identity and desire as an identity and set of impulses that are irrepressible, offering a vision and sense of self that doesn't always sit easily with one's immediate company or society at large. While "Brokeback Mountain" treated queer life as a kind of personal and social problem for those who lived it in its particular time and place, it also used "cowboy" as an identitarian counterweight, a way of assuring viewers that its men were "still men," presenting them as traditionally masculine so as to dramatize the absurdity of the world around them refusing to accept them.
Campion calls this sort of bluff, however; no matter what way Phil performs or strives, he's still caught in some way at the margins — if not by others than by a deep knowledge he holds about himself. Campion's idea of existential discomfort — or simply knowledge — of who you are isn't something to just honeymoon or fishing-trip away from (even when it could be attempted as in "Brokeback"), but it's not some cross born nobly either. Phil and Peter occupy the vast Burbank estate and could go off to anywhere on the Burbank tract, but what would it really matter? Culture and its scripts are things we carry with us.
Campion's dramatization of culture, identity and desire proves complicated. In "Power," as in life, queer personhood, like gendered roles and performance, are wrapped up in complex matrices of denial, egotism and self-mythologizing. Separation from the mainstream isn't easy or clean here, nor is tidy assimilation possible in any honest sense. What Campion's made here is a deeply critical work that, by disallowing saints and martyrs, manages to treat these conflicts — and identities — as messy in the ways they still so often are.
"The Power of the Dog" is in select theaters now, including the Michigan Theater in Ann Arbor, and is available to stream Dec. 1 on Netflix.

Last month, the Annals of Emergency Medicine reported on the toxic effects to a six-year-old child who accidentally swallowed liquid nicotine. The child ingested the product intended for her parents' electronic cigarettes and required immediate emergency medical treatment that included intubation and an overnight stay in a pediatric intensive care unit. The unique case was reported just a couple of weeks after the U.S. Surgeon General's report calling the dangers of e-cigarettes a "major public health concern."
"Liquid nicotine is highly concentrated, which makes it especially dangerous in households with children," said lead study author Matthew Noble, MD, of the Department of Emergency Medicine at Oregon Health and Science University, Portland. "In this instance, the girl lost consciousness nearly immediately after drinking the liquid nicotine and despite prompt action by her parents and emergency medical services, she still required mechanical ventilation and admission to the intensive care unit. Fortunately, she was ultimately discharged from the hospital in stable condition, but under slightly different circumstances could have suffered a tragic outcome."
The patient's mother had filled an empty ibuprofen bottle with liquid nicotine she mixed herself, using a combination of unflavored nicotine she purchased online and vegetable glycerin. The child's father, not realizing the ibuprofen bottle contained his wife's nicotine, administered a dose to his daughter for pain associated with a sprained ankle. The effects were immediate and the father contacted poison control and 9-1-1 within 5 minutes. Even after she regained consciousness, she had altered mental status, her heart rate dropped, and she developed vomiting, profuse sweating, muscle twitching, and inability to control her copious secretions.
The authors said maximum commercial liquid nicotine concentrations are currently neither well established nor well regulated, and some consumers have advocated increasing nicotine concentrations in electronic cigarettes to more closely approximate nicotine delivery from conventional tobacco cigarettes.
"As electronic cigarette use proliferates, children are now increasingly at risk of toxicity from ingestions of much larger quantities of nicotine from highly concentrated refill liquid, as in our case study," said Noble. "We expect that emergency physicians and poison centers will continue to encounter clinical significant cases of nicotine toxicity, especially in pediatric patients."

When the Detroit Lions score four touchdowns and Matthew Stafford and Calvin Johnson account for zero of them, you know something isn't right in the fantasy realm.
Week nine didn't deviate from the trend set from the previous eight weeks: that nothing should surprise us anymore. With that said, more injuries have piled up on our fantasy rosters, and it's now more important than ever to find some gems on the waiver wire.
Palmer went off in week eight for four touchdowns and 414 yards. He also threw three picks, but it was easily his best statisticaly game of the year, and further proved he's a fantasy asset. Instead of rolling with youth in Russell Wilson and Christian Ponder, start trusting the vet with solid weapons around him.
Hold your excitement, as the Packers have their bye week in week 10, but also don't forget about what is happening with the Green Bay rush offense. Starks led the team in carries in week nine, and didn't look terrible doing so. There seems to be a bit of a changing of the guard, or at the very worst Starks is splitting reps with Alex Green. Start souring on Green and consider stashing Starks for the long haul.
With Darren McFadden and Mike Goodson both shelved with ankle injuries, Reese ripped off eight catches for 90+ yards and a touchdown in week nine. If he has a prominent role going forward, you better believe he'll have fantasy value. The same goes for the explosive Taiwan Jones, although we'll want to check reports and better gauge his value.
Hilton erupted with his second big game of the year, catching six passes for 102 yards and a touchdown in week eight. He'll have off weeks due to playing behind Reggie Wayne and Donnie Avery, but considering how much the Colts throw it, Hilton needs to be owned in the majority of leagues.
I've been talking about Myers all year, and while his value was hinged to PPR leagues, now we have to look at him from a global perspective. He still brought the drama as a PPR guy in week eight (eight catches), but also scored his first two touchdowns of the year. If he can start developing into a consistent red-zone threat, he'll quickly be among the top tight ends in the league. He's worth a pickup in standard leagues and should be owned everywhere that allows PPR numbers.

Elle est toujours installée principalement dans le quartier St James de Northampton et produit jusqu'à  paires par semaine dont 70 % sont exportés un peu partout dans le monde. L'entreprise possède également quelques magasins en son nom propre dans lesquels elle écoule sa production.

En 1999, elle a été achetée par le groupe Prada. Celui-ci a vendu 45 % du capital à Equinox, un fonds de placement privé.
