The teaming of the award-winning director Alexander Payne (The Descendants, Nebraska) with Matt Damon seems to be an ideal scenario. An innovative director with an understated, but seasoned actor who is not afraid of taking on key topics in society. Especially with the unique concept of human population management in Downsizing, this potential satire has all of the earmarks of an enjoyable distraction from the traditional holiday fare.
Matt Damon manages to capture the personality and winsome spirit of the Omaha native, Paul Safranek, who has become disenchanted with life in the Midwest of the US. He and his wife Audrey (Kristen Wiig) decide that the means of escape from their monotonous lives is the new process called downsizing. Created by Norwegian scientists as an answer to the world's population problem, they offer people to be shrunk down to 13 centimetres (five inches) in height, and as their body shrinks, all of their assets increase in value, and they have the potential to 'live large' in the new miniaturised world. After undergoing the procedure, Paul wakes to discover that Audrey backed out at the last minute and he is now living on his own in this new lifestyle. This new chapter in his life affords him with new friends, opportunities and view of life.
Changing characters to different sizes in cinema is not new, but Alexander Payne's screenplay for Downsizing offers a unique spin on the impact this process would have on the world if it were instituted on a mass scale. As a statement against over-population and immigration, Payne strives to show the comical side to this science-based solution to the world's problems. The problem is that while he focuses on the miniaturisation process, the social issues addressed by the director leads him to become unclear on his ultimate purpose for the film that slowly evolves into a bloated mess.
Conceptually this has all of the earmarks for brilliance, but something must have gone wrong in the editing process. Each act becomes a separate vignette on the timeline of the impact of downsizing the world population. It is a vibrant atmosphere of well thought out parts, but the amount of time allowed to invest in the central characters is too abbreviated to care about them. If they do manage to survive the various stages of the film, their characters change so dramatically they lack any appeal that was developed in the earlier segments.
Besides Matt Damon's questionable career choices over the past year (The Great Wall, Suburbicon), the primary missed opportunity within the screenplay is the Vietnamese dissident, Ngoc Lan Tran (Hong Chau). Introduced in the second act, she has the potential to become one of the most appealing Christian characters in cinema in 2017. Initially, she is sacrificial, faithful and willing to fight for the needs of others and becomes a light in this very dark concept. She manages to represent an example for all who are put into trials and difficulties despite the world around them by living out the words of Jesus and James. Then in the final act, she spirals into a hypocritical, foul-mouthed and selfish representation of humanity. Despite her return to her good Samaritan ways in the conclusion, the damage caused to her reputation was difficult to forget and devalued her overall appeal.
Downsizing is an example of overreaching as an attempt to make a statement or multiple statements on the world system. Is Payne trying to comment on overpopulation, immigration or the mistreatment of the poor in our society? Even though he does not shrink back from using his bully pulpit to make comments about each topic, it is not clear what he is railing against in the end.


The Fortress of Oradea, considered as one of the most interesting and valuable Italian type fortifications in Romania, has been built in the 16th-17th centuries by Italian architects . This fortress and the cathedral were destroyed in 1660. The actual fortress is of the Vauban type – with bastions, moat and escarpment. In the middle precincts there is a pentagonal castle with a second precinct. The fortress is important due to its architectural and historic value, being one of the most remarkable of the Vauban type in Central and Eastern Europe.

Tom Sawyer's best friends include Joe Harper and Huckleberry Finn. In The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Tom's infatuation with classmate Rebecca "Becky" Thatcher is apparent. He lives with his half brother Sid, his cousin Mary, and his stern Aunt Polly in the (fictional) town of St. Petersburg, Missouri. There is no mention of Tom's father. In addition, Tom has another aunt, Sally Phelps, who lives considerably farther down the Mississippi River, in the town of Pikesville. Tom is the son of Aunt Polly's dead sister. In Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Tom is only a minor character and is used as a foil for Huck, particularly in the later chapters of the novel after Huck makes his way to the Uncle Phelps plantation. Tom's immaturity, imagination, and obsession with stories put Huck's planned rescue of the runaway slave Jim in great jeopardy - and ultimately make it totally unnecessary, since he knows that Jim's owner has died and freed him in her will. Throughout the novel, Huck's intellectual and emotional development is a central theme, and by re-introducing a character from the beginning (Tom), Mark Twain is able to highlight this evolution in Huck's character.

Do you ever keep items in your wardrobe because you just love them so much? This is one of these items for me - ooooh it's something about the print, the fit, it's just such a lovely dress and I'm praying it won't shrink in the wash one of these days... But I have a back up plan just in case - I've toyed with the idea of making this into a top that could be worn with a skirt or skinny jeans. . . maybe one day!
What do you think of this dress? Let me know in the comments below!
you look lovely! I just love how you've combined this dress with the bag and the jacket. And you're absolutely right, we all have those things that we appreciate too much to throw them away.
Love this floral dress and this black and white combo!
Love this kind of dress, the kind that you always love and know you can throw on at any time I feel nice in! It's lovely - but you're right it would look great as a top too!
this dress is so pretty! love this outfit! have a lovely day!

The theme of the design was a marina for private yachts on the Caspian Sea. It lies to the southwest of the capital, on a lovely stretch of coast dotted with numerous villas. Out in the sea there is a natural rocky reef.
The main problem to be contended with on the coast of the Caspian Sea is the oil drilling rigs. Even though public environmental awareness is growing in Azerbaijan, these platforms remain sources of environmental pollution.
When the wind comes from the sea it washes oil and all kind of flotsam onto the coast. Therefore it was important to develop a harbour concept that would eliminate this problem. The response was to build a quay wall that defines the marina proper with an 800-metre-long curve. It is built of steel and is protected by piles of large rocks. Every boat that enters the harbour has to go through a lock in which it is cleaned. The water in this artificial harbour complex is regularly changed by means of a pipe laid at a considerable depth that extends far out to sea, so as to ensure clean water and to counteract silting up in the marina. The buildings on the shore contain all the infrastructure facilities required for a marina complex – administration offices for the harbour master, a restaurant, everything needed for tanking and supplying the yachts.

The proposed building is assessed for thermal comfort (as noted within Hea04 Thermal comfort).
The building uses passive design measures to reduce the overall building energy demand, primary energy consumption or CO₂ emissions by at least 5%, in line with the findings of the passive design analysis.
A feasibility study has been carried out by the completion of the Concept Design stage by an energy specialist to establish the most appropriate recognised local (on site or near site) low or zero carbon energy sources for the building or development.
A local LZC technology has been specified for the building or development in line with the recommendations of this feasibility study.


I started losing my hair very gradually at age 21. For those who have experienced the agony of experiencing your hairline slowly recede further and further back I'm sure you can relate...so I FINALLY decided to do something about it after extensive research.
PROPECIA...I began Propecia in early May and I feel it's already starting to work its magic!
ABSOLUTELY...I am so happy I decided to go forward with my hair transplant and even happier I chose Dr. Cooley. I simply cannot say enough good things about him and his entire staff. They made the whole experience so easy and I would recommend him to anyone considering a hair transplant. Anyone considering a hair transplant must do their research and consider Dr. Cooley.
When it's all said and done, I'll have some of what I've lost over the years.

The Scania Hack is a creative hub and an energy boost
The Scania Hack is important to encourage broad collaboration between all employees with ideas and the will to make progress, both for the company and themselves. The Scania Hack lets colleagues from various departments team-up to find new solutions and test applications based on their various needs and ideas. What started as a weekend hack in Scania's gym-hall in 2012 by a bunch of enthusiasts from Scania IT, has become an institution that is relevant to the whole company.
An embracing culture is key
"The culture at Scania is about embracing employee engagement. This is probably extra important now, with the tough challenges Scania is facing with disturbances in the end to end flow. Not to mention our ambitious transformation that comes with driving the shift towards a sustainable transport system," says Executive Vice President, Jeanna Tällberg, Head of People and Culture. "Driving the shift also implies moving into unknown territory or handling uncertain conditions, which makes it even more important to encourage innovation and cross functional teamwork. We know that activities like the Scania Hack has been beneficial, both for the development of employees and for our business."
Jeanna Tällberg, Head of People and Culture
A hybrid event – the best combination
After two years on the web only, the Scania Hack was back to celebrate ten years of innovation and team work. The 2022 edition was a hybrid event combining the best of two worlds: the easy-to-access online participation through MS Teams and the event platform Hopin, and with the long-missed buzz of the physical encounter. This year it was a 32-hour event located at the big hockey arena Scaniarinken in Södertälje.
Enjoying the energy flow
Göran Henrixon is Manager at Common Services, a group within the department of Intelligent Transport Systems, and has been one of the Hack generals for some years. He really enjoys the experience of energy flow at the Hack: "I have seen so many good things come out at these gatherings, not only great ideas but also the positive spirit in the participating teams."
Changing the role of IT
"We can also see a change, or a broadening, of the purpose of the IT department during the past decade, from the more traditional back-seat tech-service to a more consultant role within software development and business support. It fits well with Scania's digitalisation journey and the Hack is really supporting this in a fun and inclusive way," says Göran.
All hands and minds are welcome
When invitations go out to the annual Scania Hack, all employees are encouraged to choose from a list of topics and ideas. Either to receive problem solving support or to offer help to others, in a creative and positive surrounding.
If you like competition there is much to gain
During the Hack you have also the possibility to re-pitch your idea or to join a problem-solving team. And some groups enter the event to win the hack of the year, which has resulted in many important development and business projects. The winning project will automatically qualify for Scania Innovation Factory, another important green-house initiative to strengthen the intrapreneurial muscle of Scania.
Teambuilding just as important
So, the Scania Hack is the perfect place to plant innovative ideas and try them out with expert help. "But it is never mandatory to compete during the Hack. We have a broader approach with an open, creative atmosphere for teambuilding around all sorts of ideas," says Jimmy Löfstedt, Project Leader of the Scania Hack 2022. "And we see a wider representation of departments participating, wanting to make their work easier with digital solutions."
Scania – an attractive IT beehive
The Scania Hack is one of several modules of IT-based initiatives within Scania. Another example is the Scania I-Talent Program, which is a cross-functional programme in collaboration between IT, Sales & Marketing and Research & Development. It is designed to attract young IT professionals, such as Jennifer Huang. She is now an employee at Scania IT, and she saw her first Scania Hack as an introduction to a great company culture: "I had just joined Scania's I-Talent Program directly after my graduation when I came to the Scania Hack, and I realised that I could continue to be innovative and brainstorm ideas even at my workplace! I believe that mankind is built to creatively work together, and Scania Hack is the way to do it."
