Let's not overreact after today we have been on a 17 game win streak.
• Mendy was at fault for the penalty but he has not put a foot wrong since joining.
• I have no doubt Havertz will become world class but right now he doesn't belong in this team as he's not performing on merit.
• Ziyech is our most important player because he's the only one who can unlock them types of defence. He showed for the 1st goal against Leeds he span two defenders before putting a sublime little ball in for James to put in for Giroud.
• Hudson-Odoi deserves to start from the LW when he's back fit because he deserves more chances in Pulisic's absence as he's also a very good passer of the ball.
• The winger situation needs to be assessed with Pulisic also. He is fantastic but his injuries are worse than what Robben was. Why are Liverpool so good? Because Salah and Mane are dependable and are rarely injured. It's not good having a high paid player who's only available 50% of the season.
Anyway onwards and upwards we have a massive game Tuesday that we need to win to get back on track. Let's not overreact after one game. COYB.

Unbeaten streak sorry *.
I like your post Graham.
I agree 100%.
Up the Chels.
Bring on the next game.
Ashk121
I agree on most of what you say, apart from the Havertz argument.
He played a bad yesterday. No doubt. He's been worse than his usual since his return from C.V.. No doubt. But let's not forget that he's shown against Sevilla that when he's played in what I believe is his best position, he has a great drive and a capability of splitting a defence apart with a great run.
Apart from the fact that he's coming back from C.V. there's also the question - what was the alternative to him playing yesterday? Anjorin on the wing? That wouldn't be a better solution I think!
EmilSC
I think the alternative yesterday was to play a back three. I've put it in a bit more detail in another post, but I don't think Havertz should be played out wide anymore.
Great Post Graham 👏.

The Bahamas has seen a steady increase in its crime and violence rates, with a homicide rate of 31.5 per 100,000 inhabitants in 2013. Many victims are young and male, and killed with firearms. Violence is especially acute in the island of New Providence, where the capital, Nassau, is located, with high rates of murders, armed robberies and rapes.
Recent statistics points to a prevalence of violence to solve inter-personal and community disputes, especially among youth. This is occurring in a context of high unemployment rates (30.8 percent in 2014 among 15-24 year olds), slow court systems and high rates of recidivism.
The project is made up of four components.
The first component seeks to improve behaviors for non-violent conflict resolution in New Providence by including differentiated evidence-based interventions to address social norms that promote the acceptance of violence.
The second component aims to help at-risk youth find jobs through training and employability programs.
The third component seeks to strengthen the justice administration system to better prosecute and sentence crimes by including, among other, an integrated electronic system for case management and the introduction of innovative dispute resolutions mechanisms.
The fourth component seeks to better help reintegrate offenders to society through activities such as the design and implementation of a comprehensive rehabilitation model and a curriculum built on evidence-based practices.
The IDB loan has a 25-year amortization period and is based on the LIBOR rate.

James Bond: The Ultimate Film Guide Content from the guide to life, the universe and everything
James Bond: The Ultimate Film Guide
Created Nov 10, 2013 | Updated Oct 8, 2017
For over 50 years and in 26 films loosely based on Ian Fleming's novels, James Bond, the best-known secret agent in the world, has attracted a huge, and constantly growing, audience to the cinema. Yet with 26 films to choose from, it is exceptionally easy to get confused between them. If only there was simple way to remember which Bond film had the theme tune sung by Shirley Bassey, starred Sean Connery as Bond and had Felix Leiter in? Well, now there is. Here's the ultimate James Bond film guide.
This is an easy-to-access list of all the James Bond films in order of their release. Also listed are the villains, henchmen, and Bond girls of each film, as well as the actor who plays them. Recurring characters, actors and directors have their names in bold. Each film's title track has the same name as the film, unless otherwise stated.
Sean Connery Era: 1962-1967
During the five films made in this era, Bernard Lee played M and Lois Maxwell played Miss Moneypenny in all the films. Desmond Llewelyn played Q in all except the first film, Dr. No, where his role is played by Peter Burton. Many of the films involved Bond battling SPECTRE, the SPecial Executive for Counter-intelligence, Terror, Revenge and Extortion. SPECTRE agents are frequently known by their number, for instance Blofeld is known as Number 1.
1. Dr. No (Sean Connery) - 1962
SPECTRE operative Dr. No plots to disrupt an American missile programme.
London, Jamaica and fictional Caribbean island Crab Key
Dr Julius No (Joseph Wiseman)
Bond Girls
Honey Ryder (Ursula Andress), Sylvia Trench (Eunice Gayson) Voices of both: Monica van der Syl1
Henchmen
Professor Dent (Anthony Dawson), Miss Taro (Zena Marshall)
Felix Leiter (Jack Lord), Quarrel (John Kitzmiller), Major Boothroyd (Peter Burton)
The film closely follows Ian Fleming's 6th Bond novel of the same name.
James Bond Theme
Monty Norman, arranged by John Barry.
Dr. No was released at the height of the Cuban Missile Crisis on 5 October, 1962. This was the very same day that 'Love Me Do', the first single by The Beatles, was released.
Lois Maxwell was originally offered the role of Sylvia Trench, but chose the part of Moneypenny so she would not have to show her legs. Sylvia Trench returned in From Russia With Love but was written out of Goldfinger when Guy Hamilton replaced Young as the director of that film. Maxwell's Moneypenny appeared in Bond films for the following 23 years.
2. From Russia with Love (Sean Connery) - 1963
SPECTRE want a Russian Lektor decoding device. They plot to trap James Bond with a beautiful Russian cypher clerk and then steal the Lektor from them both.
London, Istanbul, the Orient Express, Venice
Rosa Klebb '#3' (Lotte Lenya), Ernst Stavro Blofeld '#1' (Body: Anthony Dawson, Voice: Eric Pohlmann)
Tatiana Romanova (Body: Daniela Bianchi, Voice: Barbara Jeffoed), Sylvia Trench, (Body: Eunice Gayson, Voice: Monica van der Syl)
Donald 'Red' Grant (Robert Shaw), Kronsteen '#5' (Vladek Sheybal),
Kerim Bey (Pedro Armendariz)
Song/Singer
Matt Monro, but only over the end credits.
The film fairly closely follows Ian Fleming's 5th Bond novel, substituting SPECTRE for SMERSH.
In the novel the decoder was called the Spektor, but this is renamed Lektor to avoid confusion with SPECTRE. This is Desmond Llewelyn's first appearance as Major Boothroyd aka Q.
3. Goldfinger (Sean Connery) - 1964
Bond investigates Auric Goldfinger, who is a suspected gold smuggler. Yet Goldfinger has greater plans, involving atomic devices and Fort Knox...
Miami, England, Switzerland, Kentucky and Fort Knox.
Auric Goldfinger (Body: Gert Frobe, Voice: Michael Collins)
Pussy Galore (Honor Blackman), Jill Masterson (Body: Shirley Eaton, Voice: Monica van der Syl), Tilly Masterson (Tania Mallet)
Oddjob (Harold Sakata)
Felix Leiter (Cec Linder)
The film fairly closely follows Ian Fleming's 7th Bond novel, although Goldfinger now plans to irradiate the gold in Fort Knox rather than steal it.
This film introduces the phenomenon of the James Bond car with the heavily-armed Aston Martin DB5. The revolving numberplate was inspired by director Guy Hamilton's continual stream of parking tickets.
Honor Blackman, the first Bond girl to use her own voice onscreen, had previously appeared in British television series The Avengers, playing Cathy Gale. In the following series of The Avengers, in the episode 'Too Many Christmas Trees', Steed receives a Christmas card from Cathy posted from Fort Knox, in a nod to this film's climax.
4. Thunderball (Sean Connery) - 1965
A bomber carrying two atomic bombs has been stolen by SPECTRE. Unless a ransom is paid, a major city will be destroyed...
France, London and the Bahamas.
Emilio Largo '#2' (Adolfo Celi) Ernst Stavro Blofeld '#1' (Body: Anthony Dawson Voice: Eric Pohlmann)
Dominique 'Domino' Derval (Body: Claudine Auger, Voice: Monica van der Syl)
Fiona Volpe (Luciana Paluzzi), Vargas (Philip Locke)
Felix Leiter (Rik Van Nutter), Paula Caplan (Martine Beswick)
Sir Tom Jones. Two versions of an alternative song, 'Mr Kiss Kiss Bang Bang', were sung by Shirley Bassey and Dionne Warwick.
The film fairly closely follows the 8th Bond novel, based on an original story by Ian Fleming, Kevin McClory and Jack Whittingham.
This is the first film in which Sean Connery plays James Bond in the opening sequence, in which he walks across the screen from the right, turns and shoots at an assailant who had him in his sights.
Raquel Welch was originally chosen for the role of Domino, but she was unable to accept as she was filming Fantastic Voyage. Faye Dunaway was considered, but former Miss France Claudine Auger was cast.
John Stears won the Best Visual Effects Oscar for his work on this film. Martine Beswick had previously appeared in From Russia with Love as Zora, one of the fighting gypsy girls.
5. You Only Live Twice (Sean Connery) - 1967
SPECTRE, hiding in Japan, wish to start a war between the USA and USSR, and only the UK's best agent can stop it.
Ernst Stavro Blofeld (Donald Pleasence)
Aki (Akiko Wakabayashi), Kissy Suzuki (Body: Mie Hama, Voice: Monica van der Syl)
Mr Osato (Teru Shimada), Helga Brandt (Karin Dor)
Tiger Tanaka (Tetsuro Tamba), Henderson (Charles Gray)
The screenplay was by Roald Dahl, taking only the title, some characters and the Japanese setting from the 11th Bond novel.
This film is memorable for the first full appearance of Blofeld. The character of Dr Evil in the James Bond spoof Austin Powers trilogy is clearly modelled on Pleasence's definitive Blofeld. This is also the only film to date in which Bond does not drive a car. The car that appears, the Toyota 2000 GT convertible, was made as a convertible because Sean Connery was unable to fit into the hard-top model.
All Change: A Spoof, A New Bond and Sean Connery's Last Stand
These three films mark the first period of transition from the Bond films that came before to what came later. The first, a rival production of Casino Royale and not part of the official James Bond series, was intended as a spoof, but ended up a glorious mess.
On Her Majesty's Secret Service is the first official film without Connery that shows Bond in a more mature relationship than seen before or after. Diamonds Are Forever moves Bond in an Avengers-inspired comedy direction, complete with bizarre sequences involving slow-moving astronauts, moon buggies and a climax consisting of Blofeld being waved around an oil rig while being used as a demolition ball.
In both the official films Lois Maxwell continued to play Miss Moneypenny, Bernard Lee played M and Desmond Llewelyn played Q.
A. Casino Royale (David Niven) - 1967
Ken Hughes, John Huston, Joseph McGrath, Robert Parrish, Val Guest.
Largely missing. Sir James Bond is called out of retirement as the world's agents are being killed. He goes to Scotland for a bit and orders that all secret agents, male or female, should be renamed 'James Bond 007' to confuse the enemy. The enemy, SMERSH, plan to release a poison that will make all women beautiful and kill off all tall men. Characters turn up and go away, and everyone dies at the end.
England, Scotland, France, East Berlin, the Afterlife
Le Chiffre (Orson Welles), Jimmy 'Dr Noah' Bond (Woody Allen)
Vesper Lynd 'James Bond 007' (Ursula Andress), Mata Bond (Joanna Pettet), The Detainer (Daliah Lavi)
Polo (Ronnie Corbett), Agent Mimi (Deborah Kerr), Giovanna Goodthighs (Jacqueline Bisset),
Evelyn Tremble 'James Bond 007' (Peter Sellers), Cooper 'James Bond 007' (Terence Cooper), Carlton Towers (Bernard Cribbins)
'The Look of Love' by Dusty Springfield
Moments of the film are loosely inspired by Ian Fleming's first novel, the rest appears to be a mixture of numerous hallucinations.
After writing Casino Royale, Fleming sold the screen rights and in 1954 the story was used as the basis for a one-hour television drama. Some 13 years later it became a big-screen spoof. The actors, writers and directors involved in the film came and went, leaving no-one in a position to guide the film from start to finish.
6. On Her Majesty's Secret Service (George Lazenby) - 1969
Bond, obsessed with finding Blofeld, rescues a mysterious girl whose father is the head of a crime syndicate. Is there a connection between Blofeld and a medical institute investigating allergy cures?
South of France, London, Geneva, the Alps.
Ernst Stavro Blofeld (Telly Savalas)
Contessa Teresa 'Tracy' Di Vicenzo Bond (Dame Diana Rigg)
Irma Bunt (Ilse Steppat)
Marc Ange Draco (Body: Gabriele Ferzetti, Voice: David de Keyser), Sir Hilary Bray (George Baker)
'We Have All The Time in the World', Louis Armstrong
Closely based on Fleming's 10th novel.
This is only film in which George Lazenby plays Bond. George Baker, the actor who played Sir Hilary Bray, dubs the scenes in which Bond impersonates him. George Baker had been considered a potential actor to play Bond in Dr. No. Dame Diana Rigg had, of course, shot to fame playing Emma Peel in The Avengers.
7. Diamonds Are Forever (Sean Connery) - 1971
Smuggling diamonds is the first step in SPECTRE's creation of a superweapon.
South Africa, Amsterdam, London and Las Vegas
Ernst Stavro Blofeld (Charles Gray)
Tiffany Case (Jill St. John), Plenty O'Toole (Lana Wood)
Mr Kidd (Putter Smith), Mr Wint (Bruce Glover)
Felix Leiter (Norman Burton), Willard Whyte (Jimmy Dean)
A very loose adaptation of Fleming's 4th novel, using some character names.
Reclusive millionaire Howard Hughes inspired the character of Willard Whyte.
Back for Moore
The Roger Moore era has more recurring characters than before. M (Bernard Lee until Moonraker, Robert Brown after Octopussy), Q and Moneypenny are joined by a recurring Minister of Defence, Frederick Gray. They also have a regular competitor, occasional enemy and ally General Gogol, played by Walter Gotell, who had been Morzeny in From Russia with Love. Sadly, Q, though mentioned, does not appear in Live and Let Die.
The Roger Moore era would fluctuate between the camp and silly to a more 'back to basics' Bond. This era was punctuated by Sean Connery's brief return to playing James Bond in rival film Never Say Never Again.
8. Live and Let Die (Roger Moore) - 1973
British agents investigating Kananga, Prime Minister of San Monique, have been killed. Will Bond learn that Kananga is secretly a drug smuggler known as 'Mr Big'?
New York, New Orleans, London and the fictional Caribbean island San Monique
Kananga 'Mr Big' (Yaphet Kotto)
Solitaire (Jane Seymour)
Tee Hee (Julius Harris), Baron Samedi (Geoffrey Holder)
Felix Leiter (David Hedison), Sheriff JW Pepper (Clifton James), Quarrel Junior (Roy Stewart)
Only the characters and the title survive from Ian Fleming's second novel.
The character of Quarrel Junior is the son of Quarrel, who appears in Dr. No. The original novel was set before Dr. No. The excellent theme tune was nominated for an Oscar. This was the first film in which Q does not appear.
9. The Man with the Golden Gun (Roger Moore) - 1974
At the height of the fuel crisis, Bond receives a bullet from Scaramanga, an assassin known as 'The Man with the Golden Gun'. Will Bond be the mysterious murderer's next target?
London, Beirut, Macao, Hong Kong, Bangkok and Scaramanga's island near China
Francisco Scaramanga (Christopher Lee)
Mary Goodnight (Britt Ekland), Andrea Anders (Maud Adams)
Nick Nack (Herve Villechaize), Hai Fat (Richard Loo)
Sheriff JW Pepper (Clifton James), Lieutenant Hip (Soon-Taik Oh)
Only the title and character names survive from Ian Fleming's 12th novel
Christopher Lee, who plays Scaramanga, was Ian Fleming's cousin.
Bond Girl Britt Ekland was married to Peter Sellers, who played Evelyn Tremble 'James Bond 007' in Casino Royale (1967).
10. The Spy Who Loved Me (Roger Moore) - 1977
Someone is able to track and capture nuclear submarines! Can Bond learn who, before nuclear Armageddon is unleashed in order to create a new world order beneath the sea?
Austria, Egypt, Sardinia
Karl Stromberg (Curd Jürgens)
Major Anya Amasova/Agent XXX (Barbara Bach)
Jaws (Richard Kiel), Naomi (Caroline Munro)
General Anatol Gogol (Walter Gotell), Sir Frederick Gray (Geoffrey Keen), Admiral Hargreaves (Robert Brown)
'Nobody Does it Better' by Carly Simon
Only the title is used from Ian Fleming's 9th Bond novel.
The second most famous car in the James Bond series, the Lotus Esprit submarine car, appears in this film. The plot is very similar to Gilbert's previous Bond film You Only Live Twice, and it had originally been intended to include SPECTRE, however a lawsuit prevented them so the villain became Stromberg instead.
Barbara Bach, who plays Major Anya Amasova, is the wife of Beatle Ringo Starr.
11. Moonraker (Roger Moore) - 1979
A space shuttle is stolen! Yet the owner of the shuttle, Hugo Drax, is more interested in secretly making glass canisters...
London, California, Venice, Rio de Janeiro, a satellite orbiting Earth
Hugo Drax (Michael Lonsdale)
Dr Holly Goodhead (Lois Chiles), Corinne Dufour (Body: Corinne Cléry, Voice: Monica van der Syl), Manuela (Emily Bolton)
Jaws (Richard Kiel), Chang (Toshiro Suga)
Sir Frederick Gray (Geoffrey Keen), General Anatol Gogol (Walter Gotell)
Only the title and Drax's name survive from the 3rd Bond novel.
This is the last film in which Bernard Lee appears as M, and was made as a co-production with French company Les Productions Artistes Associés. There are some outstanding moments in the film, however there are also several silly ones and the film was made as an attempt to jump on the Star Wars bandwagon.
12. For Your Eyes Only (Roger Moore) - 1981
A British spy ship carrying a top-secret device is sunk in the Ionian Sea! Bond must recover the device after the Havelocks, the people leading the previous recovery operation, are murdered. But Melina Havelock wants revenge and what else is happening in the Ionian Sea?
The Ionian Sea, Madrid, Cortina and Corfu
Aris Kristatos (Julian Glover), 'Wheelchair Villain' (John Hollis, obviously Blofeld)
Melina Havelock (Carole Bouquet), Countess Lisl (Cassandra Harris)
Emile Leopold Locque (Michael Gothard), Erich Kriegler (John Wyman)
Milos Columbo (Topol), Bibi Dahl (Lynn-Holly Johnson), Bill Tanner (James Villiers), Sir Frederick Gray (Geoffrey Keen), General Anatol Gogol (Walter Gotell), Margaret Thatcher (Janet Brown)
Melina Havelock comes from the short story 'For Your Eyes Only', the Colombo v Kristatos theme comes from short story 'Risico' and the section where Bond and Melina are dragged behind a boat was from the novel Live and Let Die.
Sadly, Bernard Lee passed away shortly before this film was made. In respect, he was not immediately recast and instead his role was split between Bill Tanner (M's chief of staff), Q and Sir Frederick Gray.
The Wheelchair Villain was intended to be Blofeld, but due to legal action was not able to be named as such. Cassandra Harris, who plays Countess Lisl, was the wife of future James Bond Pierce Brosnan.
13. Octopussy (Roger Moore) - 1983
What do fake Fabergé eggs have to do with the plot to destroy an American airbase in West Germany? Only Bond can find out.
Cuba, London, East and West Germany, India
General Orlov (Steven Berkoff), Kamal Khan (Louis Jourdan)
Octopussy (Maud Adams) Magda (Kristina Wayborn)
Gobinda (Kabir Bedi), Mischka & Grischka (David & Tony Meyer)
Vijay (Vijay Amritraj), General Anatol Gogol (Walter Gotell), Sir Frederick Gray (Geoffrey Keen), Penelope Smallbone (Michaela Clavell)
'All Time High' by Rita Coolidge
The events in short story 'Octopussy' relate to Octopussy's father, the auction comes from short story 'The Property of a Lady'
In Octopussy M is played by Robert Brown. He had previously played Admiral Hargreaves in The Spy who Loved Me, and it is unclear whether the character of Hargreaves has been promoted to be the new M, or whether Brown is playing the same character Bernard Lee had. Most assume that Hargreaves has been promoted to M. Maud Adams had previously appeared as Andrea Anders in The Man with the Golden Gun. The character of Penelope Smallbone was introduced as a potential replacement for Moneypenny, but never appeared again.
B. Never Say Never Again (Sean Connery) - 1983
An unofficial, rival Bond film starring Sean Connery in his last outing in the role that made him famous.
A remake of Thunderball but with nuclear missiles rather than atomic bombs
England, France and The Bahamas
Ernst Stavro Blofeld (Max Von Sydow), Maximilian Largo (Klaus Maria Brandauer)
Domino Petachi (Kim Basinger), Unnamed (Valerie Leon)
Fatima Blush (Barbara Carrera), Jack Petachi (Gavan O'Herlihy)
Felix Leiter (Bernie Casey) M (Edward Fox) Moneypenny (Pamela Salem), Q 'Algy' (Alec McCowen), Nigel Small-Fawcett (Rowan Atkinson)
Lani Hall
A remake of Thunderball
In 1959 Ian Fleming, Ernest Curero, Ivar Bryce, Kevin McClory and Jack Whittingham developed a screenplay that was used as the basis of Ian Fleming's novel Thunderball. When Fleming published his novel, McClory sued and was awarded the rights to make a film of Thunderball. McClory co-operated with Eon, the company behind the official Bond films in the 1960s on condition that he not make another film based on the story for 10 years. A decade later McClory began plans to remake Thunderball, and after some legal delays, here it was.
Rowan Atkinson would later star in the Johnny English Bond-spoof films.
14. A View to a Kill (Roger Moore) - 1985
What does an ex-KGB agent who drugs his racing horses have to do with Silicon Valley? Only Bond can find the truth.
Siberia, England, France and San Francisco
Max Zorin (Christopher Walken)
May Day (Grace Jones), Stacey Sutton (Tanya Roberts), Pola Ivanova (Fiona Fullerton)
Dr Carl Mortner (Willoughby Gray), Jenny Flex (Alison Doody)
Sir Godfrey Tibbett (Patrick Macnee), Sir Frederick Gray (Geoffrey Keen), General Anatol Gogol (Walter Gotell)
The title is inspired by Fleming's short story 'From a View to a Kill', but no plot points from the story survive into the film.
This was both Roger Moore and Lois Maxwell's last Bond film. Patrick Macnee's most famous role was playing John Steed in The Avengers.
Dawn of Dalton's Days
In the Timothy Dalton era, Caroline Bliss takes over as Moneypenny, but is not given much to do in either film in which she appears, while Robert Brown continues as M and Desmond Llewelyn remains as Q. Dalton is driven, seeking violence, vengeance and vendetta, with a rage barely contained behind his smiles. Dalton portrays Bond as someone who will not compromise on seeing what he considers justice done, even if his superiors disagree. His films are more complex and grown-up than any Bonds since On Her Majesty's Secret Service, adult in theme. Gone are one-liners and pick-up lines, leaving raw, focused brutality barely hidden behind tuxedos and charm.
15. The Living Daylights - (Timothy Dalton) 1987
A defecting Russian general states that General Pushkin wishes to implement Smiert Spionem, a programme of killing all spies in the USSR that could lead to war. Yet what is the connection with an American arms dealer?
Gibraltar, Bratislava, London, Vienna, Tangiers, Afghanistan
General Georgi Koskov (Jeroen Krabbé), Brad Whitaker (Joe Don Baker)
Kara Milovy (Maryam d'Abo)
Necros (Andreas Wisniewski)
General Leonid Pushkin (John Rhys-Davies), Felix Leiter (John Terry), Kamran Shah (Art Malik), Saunders (Thomas Wheatley), Sir Frederick Gray (Geoffrey Keen), General Anatol Gogol (Walter Gotell)
The opening sequence is based on Ian Fleming's short story of the same name.
A strong start to Dalton's Bond, complete with a new gadget-laden Aston Martin. Originally the story would have revolved around General Gogol's intention to kill British spies, but as Walter Gotell was ill he only appears briefly, and John Rhys-Davies plays a replacement character. Felix Leiter finally returns to a Bond film for the first official time since 1973, but sadly in only a blink-and-you'll-miss-him role.
16. Licence to Kill - (Timothy Dalton) 1989
Bond helps Felix Leiter arrest a drug lord, who escapes and feeds Leiter to a shark and kills Leiter's wife. Bond resigns from the Secret Service to seek revenge.
Florida Keys and Isthmus, a fictional Central American country.
Franz Sanchez (Robert Davi)
Pam Bouvier (Carey Lowell), Lupe Lamora (Talisa Soto)
Milton Krest (Anthony Zerbe), Dario (Benicio Del Toro), Professor Joe Butcher (Wayne Newton), Ed Killifer (Everett McGill)
Felix Leiter (David Hedison), Della Leiter (Priscilla Barnes), Sharkey (Frank McRae)
Milton Krest appeared in Fleming's short story 'The Hildebrand Rarity' and Felix being eaten by a shark came from the novel Live and Let Die.
The last Bond film for six years, and the last for Dalton, Robert Brown and Caroline Bliss. This film remains the most adult in the series, and also has the best scenes featuring Q, who is finally allowed out and about on a mission. The climactic oil tanker chase is a highlight of the series.
Piercing: The Pierce Brosnan Era
A new Bond Era also marks a new M, Dame Judi Dench, and a new Moneypenny, played by the appropriately-named Samantha Bond. Finally Bond is seen working for an organisation that consists of more than an office, hat stand and a lab in which Q tinkers with watches. M, Q and Moneypenny are joined by recurring characters Bill Tanner and Robinson, while Q gains an assistant and later replacement, played by John Cleese.
17. GoldenEye (Pierce Brosnan) - 1995
GoldenEye is a Cold War-era electromagnetic pulse weapon mounted in two satellites. With the Cold War over, a criminal with a connection to Bond's past plans to use this against London.
Russia, French Riviera, London and Cuba
Alec Trevelyan 006 (Sean Bean)
Natalya Fyodorovna Simonova (Izabella Scorupco), Xenia Onatopp (Famke Janssen)
General Ourumov (Gottfried John), Boris Grishenko (Alan Cumming)
Jack Wade (Joe Don Baker), Valentin Dmitrovich Zukovsky (Robbie Coltrane), Bill Tanner (Michael Kitchen)
Not directly based on any work by Ian Fleming, although the idea of a villain attacking London with a nuclear device in revenge for the Second World War comes from Moonraker. The title was the name of Fleming's house.
The reason behind the gap between making Licence to Kill and GoldenEye was caused by legal wranglings over television distribution rights. MGM/UA were merging with Pathé and Danjaq, the company that actually made the Bond films, felt the television distribution deal was unfair.
Minnie Driver plays Irina, Zukovsky's tone-deaf Russian mistress and nightclub singer. This film also inspired the phenomenally successful GoldenEye 007 - video game.
18. Tomorrow Never Dies (Pierce Brosnan) - 1997
Roger Spottiswoode
A media mogul manipulates Britain and China into declaring war in order to get good ratings.
The Khyber Pass, South China Sea, London, Oxford, Hamburg and Saigon
Elliot Carver (Jonathan Pryce)
Wai Lin (Michelle Yeoh), Paris Carver (Teri Hatcher)
Stamper (Götz Otto), Henry Gupta (Ricky Jay), Dr Kaufman (Vincent Schiavelli)
Admiral Roebuck (Geoffrey Palmer), Charles Robinson (Colin Salmon), Jack Wade (Joe Don Baker)
Not based on any Ian Fleming story.
19. The World is Not Enough (Pierce Brosnan) - 1999
Terrorist Renard threatens a billionaire oil baron's daughter.
London (including outside MI6 Headquarters and the Millennium Dome), Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Turkey
Elektra King (Sophie Marceau), Viktor 'Renard' Zokas (Robert Carlyle)
Dr Christmas Jones (Denise Richards), Dr Molly Warmflash (Serena Scott Thomas)
Bullion 'The Bull' (Goldie)
Valentin Zukovsky (Robbie Coltrane), Charles Robinson (Colin Salmon), Bill Tanner (Michael Kitchen)
The title comes from the Bond family motto.
This is the first appearance of John Cleese as Q's assistant, whom Bond nicknames 'R'. It is also the last film in which Desmond Llewelyn appears.
20. Die Another Day (Pierce Brosnan) - 2002
Lee Tamahori
Bond was betrayed in Korea! Freed, Bond investigates the connection between dodgy diamonds and tycoon Gustav Graves.
North Korea, Hong Kong, England, Cuba, Iceland
Colonel Moon (Will Yun Lee), Gustav Graves (Toby Stephens)
Jacintha 'Jinx' Johnson (Halle Berry), Miranda Frost (Rosamund Pike)
Zao (Rick Yune), Mr Kil (Lawrence Makoare)
General Moon (Kenneth Tsang), Charles Robinson (Colin Salmon), Damian Falco (Michael Madsen)
A new story for the film.
John Cleese is now Q, full time; Desmond Llewelyn sadly passed away before this film, made to celebrate the Bond films' 40th anniversary.
Blond Bond? The Daniel Craig Era
In the early 21st Century, Bond was played by an actor who, apparently controversially for some reason, didn't have naturally dark hair. His era loses the team ethos, returning to the angry, driven, solitary wolf approach of the Dalton days. The Craig era does at least finally feature Felix Leiter again, even if initially missing Moneypenny and Q.
21. Casino Royale (Daniel Craig) - 2006
A secret, powerful criminal organisation uses Le Chiffre as their banker, but Bond foils their attempts to destroy an aeroplane and Le Chiffre desperately needs money. If Bond can beat him at poker in the Casino Royale, Le Chiffre will have no choice but to ask for protection from his former terrorist allies in exchange for information. Or will he?
Prague, Madagascar, The Bahamas, Miami, Montenegro, Venice
Le Chiffre (Mads Mikkelsen)
Vesper Lynd (Eva Green), Solange (Caterina Murino)
Mr White (Jesper Christensen), Alex Dimitrios (Simon Abkarian)
Felix Leiter (Jeffrey Wright), René Mathis (Giancarlo Giannini)
'You Know My Name', Chris Cornell
Parts of the film are surprisingly faithful to the first Bond novel.
A strong start and finally an official version of Ian Fleming's first novel.
22. Quantum of Solace (Daniel Craig) - 2008
Bond seeks revenge against the secret criminal organisation, which he learns is called 'Quantum', stumbling on a plan to own all the water in a desert.
Italy, Austria, Haiti, Bolivia, Russia
Dominic Greene (Mathieu Amalric)
Camille (Olga Kurylenko), Strawberry Fields (Gemma Arterton)
Mr White (Jesper Christensen), General Medrano (Joaquín Cosio)
Felix Leiter (Jeffrey Wright), René Mathis (Giancarlo Giannini), Bill Tanner (Rory Kinnear), Foreign Secretary (Tim Pigott-Smith)
'Another Way to Die', Jack White and Alicia Keys
The title comes from the Ian Fleming short story
This film begins where the previous film ended, forming the second part of the same story, with Bond battling Quantum.
C. Happy and Glorious (Daniel Craig) - 2012
James Bond must escort the Queen to the opening of the 2012 London Olympic Games
Buckingham Palace, Olympic Stadium
Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II (Herself)
A short film that formed part of the Opening Ceremony of the London Olympic Games. The Queen won an honorary BAFTA award for her role in playing herself. A stunt double, rather than the Queen herself, is believed to have done the actual parachute2 jump from a helicopter.
23. Skyfall (Daniel Craig) - 2012
A former agent seeks revenge against M. Only Bond can stop him.
Istanbul, England, Shanghai, Macau, Scotland
Raoul Silva (Javier Bardem)
Eve Moneypenny (Naomie Harris), Séverine (Bérénice Marlohe)
Patrice (Ola Rapace)
Gareth Mallory (Ralph Fiennes), Kincade (Albert Finney), Bill Tanner (Rory Kinnear)
Not based on any work by Ian Fleming
Finally for the Craig era we get a Moneypenny (Naomie Harris) and a new Q, played by Ben Whishaw rather than a return to John Cleese. We also get a new M (Ralph Fiennes). All three would appear in the following film too.
24. Spectre (Daniel Craig) - 2015
Bond discovers that every villain he has encountered to date worked for a mysterious organisation called Spectre, led by a man with whom he has a past.
Mexico, England, Italy, Austria and Morocco
Ernst Stavro Blofeld aka Franz Oberhauser (Christoph Waltz), Max Denbigh aka 'C' (Andrew Scott)
Dr Madeleine Swann (Léa Seydoux), Lucia Sciarra (Monica Bellucci)
Mr Hinx (Dave Bautista), Marco Sciarra (Alessandro Cremona)
Mr White (Jesper Christensen) , Bill Tanner (Rory Kinnear)
'Writing's on the Wall' by Sam Spade3
Not based on any work by Ian Fleming but made to celebrate MGM gaining full rights to use Blofeld and organisation Spectre in 2013.
This film also features a cameo from former M actress Dame Judi Dench, who in the story leaves a video message for Bond.
One extra piece of trivia is that Desmond Llewelyn has appeared in more James Bond films than any other actor, playing the role of Q.

Re: Need two Eagle library components.
Interesting. I didn't know you could do this. Nice!
I may just use two regular pots and space them for a dual gang.
The switch is the real pain.
Dual 16mm pots are in the pot lbr, I believe that's a standard library.
There's also a switch library, but there are several footprints, so you might want to dig a bit.

José María Caffarel Fábregas (Barcelona, 10 de noviembre de 1919-Madrid, 6 de noviembre de 1999) fue un actor español.

Biografía

Inició estudios de ingeniería que se vio obligado a interrumpir con el estallido de la Guerra Civil. Tras la finalización de la contienda se dedicó al comercio de tela, labor que compaginó con teatro aficionado.

Adolfo Marsillach lo descubre y decide incorporarlo a su compañía, ofreciéndole así la posibilidad de profesionalizarse en la interpretación. Debutó en el cine en 1957 con la película El último cuplé, de Juan de Orduña. Sería el primer título de una dilatada trayectoria cinematográfica que le llevó a intervenir como actor de reparto en más de 160 películas. Entre ellas y gracias a su dominio de los idiomas francés, inglés e italiano, algunas producciones internacionales, como El fabuloso mundo del circo (1964), de Henry Hathaway o Doctor Zhivago (1965), de David Lean.

Presente también en televisión, debuta en el medio también junto a Marsillach en la serie Silencio vivimos (1962-1963). Más tarde vendrían Firmado Pérez, Primera fila, Confidencias, Sospecha, Estudio 1, Ficciones, Historias para no dormir, ¿Es usted el asesino? (1968), Novela, Silencio, estrenamos (1974), La saga de los Rius (1976), Los gozos y las sombras (1982), Goya (1985), El Profesor Poopsnagle (1986), Clase media (1987), La Regenta (1995), Farmacia de guardia (1991-1995) o Hermanas (1998).

Durante toda su carrera, trabajó igualmente como actor de doblaje en cientos de ocasiones.

Padre de tres hijos, entre ellos, la que fuera Directora de RTVE, Carmen Caffarel.

Muerte
Falleció la noche del 6 de noviembre de 1999 en su domicilio de Madrid, a los 79 años, a causa de un paro cardiaco tras haber padecido una larga enfermedad.
Está enterrado en el cementerio de la Almudena.

On the remote island of Príncipe, Bom Bom is one of the most beautifully situated hotels I've ever visited. There's a deep resonance to this place. If you haven't seen my other posts on São Tomé and Príncipe suffice it to say we were wowed by the stunning wild places and syncretic culture of this extraordinary, diverse island nation. The resort is perched between two crescent beaches that meet in a small rocky promontory and just to make it all the more fabulous they've built a wooden walk way out to the eponymous Bom Bom Island, see the small island above with the crescent beaches below.
It really is an idyllic situation and while it isn't the "best" hotel on Príncipe (that accolade has to go to the newly built luxurious sister property Sundy Praia) Bom Bom has the most beautiful placement one could wish for. Sun, sea, surf, turtles and sunsets were more than enough to keep me amused for a couple of days.
When you want more, there's the glory of the island beyond the resort and what an astonishing place Príncipe it is. The entire island is designated a UN Biosphere and if that sound pretty special it gives you an idea of the ecological significance of this landscape. The biodiversity in the marine and land ecosystems here is staggering with many unique species. We loved our trip out by boat to explore the island coastline while others went diving or hiking.
The views from the water in the Bay of Needles was breathtaking and you do feel you've stumbled upon a lost world bypassed by time and modernity. Surreal peaks known as phonolite towers puncture the lush rainforest canopy and visitors who describes Príncipe all remark on the 'Jurassic Park' landscape.
The resort is in a stunning location but it isn't glitzy, you're not going to find infinity pools, a kids club or an enormous spa complex here, but honestly for me the simplicity was part of the charm. This is a low key destination for people who appreciate a remote, pristine natural landscape. The limited size and scale of the place is a big part of how it fits into the island ecosystem. The quiet crowds is predominantly European, with everyone from Portuguese honeymooners to an elderly couple of British birders. You may see more families around the holiday season.
There are quite a number of repeat visitors too and you can see why this is a place that would draw people back over and over. One couple told us it was their eighth visit to Príncipe. Expect tasteful comfort and stunning views - which you're not sharing with too many others. The beauty of the place shines through and there's a relaxed, easeful shipwrecked in paradise vibe. Well, I guess ship wrecks may not be quite so easeful if you don't find yourself on the steps on a resort but you get the meaning!
Which Room?
There are several categories of rooms all decorated in a similar style; pool view, garden view and beachfront. The differences are less their size and more where they are located. The beachfront chalets are indeed right on the beach and you'll hear the surf crashing at night. You can see the chalets discreetly tucked under the palms on the left above and the view from our room below.
We loved waking up to both the sound and the sight of the ocean. I really can't emphasis enough how pristine this island is and how few tourists there are. We felt so lucky to be there.
It's worth noting that some of the the sea view chalets are quite high up and have a beach view too, in terms of the interior they're the same layout and more affordable. I'd recommend the beachfront but I think I'd be happy with the sea view or garden cottages too. I wouldn't recommend the pool view rooms, because while they are spacious they are set further back from the water. There's no privacy on the front decks and the bathrooms need updating. However if the bathrooms are redone these rooms could be a good option for families - as they have connecting doors and can accommodate a larger group.
This is a hotel where they are extremely concerned about environmental impact, indeed the HBD hotel group is integrally involved in conservation plans for the island, including the Príncipe Trust. At the resort they may be moving some cottages back from the beach in order to make additional space for nesting turtles. Having come upon a turtle laying it's eggs right in front of our cabin when we came back from dinner (so exciting!) I can understand their concerns.
The restaurant and bar are on Bom Bom island so you'll do a good deal of walking back and forth on the wooden walkway.
We liked the walking back and forwards, and the views were stunning, but as you can see it isn't a good option for anyone with mobility issues.
I really loved Príncipe and Bom Bom but our stay was not without problems. We arrived during a management transition at the hotel and the absence of senior staff was evident. However, they worked hard to make things right, so my advice is (as always) to speak up if anything isn't up to par. Hopefully they've worked out the issues but an honest assessment of the property would note that given the price point the pool and the cottage interiors are relatively modest. I believe that the hotel would benefit from a "refresh" and having seen the incredible nearby Sundy Praia I look forward to seeing the changes they make at Bom Bom. It's a resort I'd love to revisit and Principe remains one of the most extraordinary locations I've seen.
Stay tuned for my rave review of the luxurious resort at Sundy Praia. I've also written about the plantation hotel options on Príncipe and an introduction to São Tomé and Príncipe, including a discussion on the main island and itineraries. I think you can tell that staying on Príncipe we felt we had stumbled upon an earthly paradise.
Partial Gift: We paid for our accommodation, food and excursions but received a modest discount and an upgrade. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) states that bloggers should disclose anything that "materially affects" their experience including gifts. I paid for my stay and I hope you know I'll always give you my unvarnished opinion. But transparency matters and it's fair to say that a discount, or upgrade could favorably impact our impressions. I only wish some of my fellow bloggers who are receiving fully comped trips would begin to disclose them.

Seven tests of growth-hormone release were evaluated in 31 hospitalized nonobese persons without evidence of endocrine disease. Plasma growth-hormone levels were measured before and after administration of insulin, 0.1 unit/kg body weight intravenously; glucagon, 1 mg intramuscularly; levodopa, 500 mg by mouth; metyrapone, 750 mg by mouth; α 1-24-ACTH (cosyntropin), 0.25 mg intravenously; and 1 to 2 hours after the onset of nocturnal sleep, and after 15 minutes of vigorous stair climbing. Insulin uniformly stimulated growth-hormone release in all 19 persons tested, whereas 21 of 24 (87%) responded to levodopa and 17 of 21 (81%) to glucagon. ACTH stimulated growth-hormone release in only 7 of 12 persons, whereas metyrapone had no effect. A growth-hormone response to sleep was found in only 2 of 11, whereas exercise stimulated growth-hormone release in 4 of 10. Although the highest growth-hormone levels were associated with insulin hypoglycemia, these were not significantly different from levels after administration of levodopa or glucagon (P > 0.05). These data suggest that levodopa is a reasonably effective alternative to insulin hypoglycemia as a test of growth-hormone release. Its advantages are that it is given orally, and there are minor side effects. The efficacy of glucagon approaches that of levodopa.

Proteins are the workhorses of cells and organisms. At present, no technologies are available for the routine proteome-scale sequencing and quantification of this physiologically important class of molecules. In this project, we propose to develop a nanopore technology for direct de novo single-molecule protein sequencing. Analogous to nanopore DNA sequencing, the sequences of protein molecules are determined by electronically measuring the alteration of the ionic current flow by the residues along the linear polypeptides while the fully denatured molecules are electrophoretically translocated one at a time through the nanopores. To realize the technology, we need to overcome three major challenges: (1) engineering of nanopores with dimensions (~1 nm diameter and ~0.5 nm thickness) required to distinguish 20 amino acid residues (~0.38 spacing) along the linear polypeptide chain; (2) a method for controlled unidirectional translocation of unfolded polypeptides through the nanopores; (3) algorithms for decoding sequences from current blockage profiles. Through several years of conceptual, theoretical and experimental work, we have found potential solutions to these challenges. First, we have invented a new hybrid solid-state/protein/cyclopeptide nanopore architecture that will enable the engineering of nanopores capable of distinguishing the 20 different amino acid residues for de novo protein sequencing. Second, we have also demonstrated a strategy to impart uniform charge density along the polypeptide chain to enable unidirectional translocation of protein through nanopores. Third, we have developed a strategy that has enabled us to model and compute the current blockages of all 207 (=1.28x109) heptamer combinations of 20 amino acids, and thus the current blockage profiles of any proteins. We have also developed the algorithms to decode amino acid sequences from the computed current blockage profiles. Excitingly, with these recent breakthroughs, we have been able to demonstrate the theoretical feasibility of de novo nanopore protein sequencing. We have shown that 12 amino acid residues can be sequenced with >90% consensus accuracy, 2 residues with >85% accuracy, and the other 6 residue decoded as 3 pairs with >90% accuracy. In this project, we propose to implement these innovative approaches aiming to lay the foundation for the experimental realization of nanopore protein sequencing. The ability to sequence and enumerate proteins will enable routine proteome-scale identification and digital quantification of proteins with the ultimate single-molecule and single-cell sensitivity. The ability to sequence proteins at the single-molecule level will enable routine proteome-scale identification and digital quantification of proteins with the ultimate single- molecule sensitivity. If successful, such a disruptive technology will find broad general applications from basic research, drug target identification and precision clinical diagnosis of human diseases, will have potential to transform many aspects of biomedical research, personalized healthcare and medical practice.

It's a bit hard to not have heard of this giant red ape-like creature. His presence alone invades the atmosphere and his charisma steals the show. And to turn him into the world's greatest paranormal investigator too? He's easily a character that has left a huge mark in our pop culture and is here to stay. Although a bit underrated, Hellboy has his fair share of lore to share with us and it is one that will please a lot of horror and mystic fans. His now completed comic book has given birth to a couple of spin-offs and is now being released in this perfectly-ideal omnibus editions to collect Mike Mignola's award-winning stories in a chronological order perfect for readers. This first volume collects Seed of Destruction (Volume 1), Wake the Devil (Volume 2), and the stories "Wolves of St. August", "The Chained Coffin" and "Almost Colossus" from The Chained Coffin (Volume 3).
How exactly does Hellboy's saga begin? In this first omnibus the story begins by throwing readers back during the World War II era where a special Nazi team led by Rasputin conduct a strange summoning that ultimately leads to the birth of a baby Hellboy in a church in Britain. While the Nazis believe their plans have failed, Rasputin claims that he has initiated the end of the world. For almost half a century, this demon-child who was taken in by Professor Bruttenholm, grows to be an agent of the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense (B.P.R.D.) in New York. Tagged along with Liz Sherman (a woman with pyrokinetic abilities) and Abe Sapien (an amphibious man), this team investigate strange happenings and uncover the truth behind them while discovering themselves and their place in the world.
The lore and the characters are where all the praise should be redirected to. With an underlying touch of Lovecraftian mythology, this story draws upon the mystical world to recreate its own air of horror and mystery. With various references to iconic mythologies and characters, Mike Mignola sets up his world in a basin of strange and ugly creatures that constantly harass Hellboy in his unrestrained and untroubled behaviour. Its especially the style and manner that each threat is approached that poignantly mesmerizes you. While it isn't exactly an easy-to-dive-in series, it does rapidly capture your heart with all the charming and short dialogues, as well as the brutal and fun action sequences by Hellboy. As fascinating as it is to learn about the Ogdru Jahad, frog-monsters and vampires, it is how Hellboy will deal with them that makes this so fun.
It is worth mentioning that the artwork is not something that will please everyone. The style is perfect for Hellboy and grows on you, to the point where it quickly becomes easy for reader to associate it to this series. It is really heavy on shadows and on rough character designs, and rarely focuses on emotions and details. The creepy and edgy designs help in fact to convey the eerie and creepy mood that emanates from many of the settings featured in this story. The transitions aren't smooth either, and is axed more of frames of key moments in order to let readers imagine the sequence and fill the gap with their own touch of creativity. But with dialogues that are so poetic and that often sound like satanic incantations, as well as snappy one-liners, readers aren't ever really left to their own.
If there's one thing that I'm happy about, it is the fact that the main series is complete and that they are now being recollected into these omnibuses. If I had read the first volume alone (Seed of Destruction), I would have heavily questioned its reputation since it is far from enough to understand why Hellboy is such an iconic character. In this omnibus, it is much easier for fans to appreciate every characters development and the overall world-building that is set up.
Hellboy (2004) was directed by Guillermo del Terro and loosely adapted Hellboy: Seed of Destruction with Ron Perlman as Hellboy! A reboot is on the way (2019) with David Harbour taking on the role of Hellboy, and Neil Marshall directing the movie!
I agree! He was phenomenal in Stranger Things. I believe he has what it takes to nail it as Hellboy.
I liked both Hellboy movies. They were unabashed horror comic adaptations and I thought they did what they set out to do. I'm definitely interested in a reboot movie too.
Yep. I still remember how creepy the movie was when I saw it as a kid. I plan on re-watching them once I finish up with the original comic book run (not all the spin-offs). Also curious to see how they'll do the reboot. Without Del Torro.
And now you know about the comic book series and about the upcoming movie reboot! Hope the former or the latter will interest you enough to check them out some day (the latter when it comes out). 😀 Thanks for reading, Norrie!
I know it is no shocker being that del Toro directed them, but I really enjoyed the films. This is a story I feel like I can get behind and you have me wanting to pick this up now that there is an omnibus! Wonderful review Lashaan and I see what you mean about artwork. But I can dig it!
Thanks for the suggestion. I could see if it is available on comixology also 😊 not sure though as I do not recall seeing it on there.
I've had my eye on these for years now and never taken the jump. They sound great. I really need to get on that.
If you already had an interest in the series, then its totally worth exploring for yourself. Hopefully you'll enjoy it! 😀 Thanks for reading, sir!
That origin story alone is gripping!
I haven't read any Lovecraft myself yet. Perhaps I'll start there and see if his works appeal to me? In that case, I can just keep following the bunny trail, as it were. Who knows, perhaps Hellboy is in my future?!
Yea, the artwork isn't one I will go for but man, I'm intrigued by the story. It's often recommended to me, and I think I have the first volume. I'll have to read it soon. It sounds like something I'd like.
Well, I'll see when I get to it. Most likely will read the omnibus too.
I like hellboy from the movies that is. We need another movie . . .
Once again I missed that video! But caught it just in time.
Hahaha! The reboot will have a different actor for Hellboy and a different director, but there's still hope that it'll be done right!

2014 Rule Changes [pdf / 238KB]


In this primer, D&S researcher Claire Fontaine examines the construct of accountability as it functions in discussions around education reform in the American public education system. The paper considers the historic precursors to accountability, as well as the set of political, economic, cultural, and social conditions that led to test scores becoming the main measure of a school's success.
In addition to the historical context around accountability, the paper considers important questions about who accountability serves, what the incentive structures are, and how accountability is gamed and resisted. In short, accountability of what, to whom, for what ends, at what cost?
There is an ongoing tension in the American public education system between the values of excellence, equity, and a sustained commitment to efficiency. Accountability has emerged as a framework in education reform that promises to promote and balance all three values. Yet, this frame is often contested due to disagreements over the role of incentives and penalties in achieving desirable change, and concerns that the proposed mechanisms will have significant unintended consequences that outweigh potential benefits. More fundamentally, there is widespread disagreement over how to quantify excellence and equity, if it is even possible to do so. Accountability rhetoric echoes a broader turn toward data-driven decision-making and resource allocation across sectors. As a tool of power, accountability processes shift authority and control away from professional educators and toward policymakers, bureaucrats, and test makers.
The construct of accountability is predicated on several assumptions. First, it privileges quantification and statistical analysis as ways of knowing and is built on a long history of standardized testing and data collection. Second, it takes learning to be both measurable and the product of instruction, an empiricist perspective descended from John Locke and the doctrine that knowledge is derived primarily from experience. Third, it holds that schools, rather than families, neighborhoods, communities, or society at large, are fundamentally responsible for student performance. This premise lacks a solid evidentiary basis and is closely related to the ideology of meritocracy. Finally, efforts to achieve accountability presume that market-based solutions can effectively protect the interests of society's most vulnerable, another controversial assumption.
The accountability movement reflects the application of free market economics to public education, a legacy of the Chicago School of Economics in the post-World War II era. As a set of policies it was instantiated in the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) of 1965, reauthorized as the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) of 2002, and reinforced by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) of 2015. Teaching and learning are increasingly measured and quantified to enable analysis of the relationship between inputs (e.g., funding) and outputs (e.g., student performance).
As has been true in other sectors when data-driven surveillance and assessment practices are introduced, outcomes are not always as expected. It is unclear whether this data push will promote equality of opportunity, merely document inequality, or perhaps even increase racial and socioeconomic segregation. Furthermore, little is understood about the costs of increased assessment on the health and success of students and teachers, externalities that are rarely measured or considered in the march to accountability. States will need to generate stakeholder buy-in and think carefully about the metrics they include in their accountability formulas in order to balance mandates for accountability, the benefits that accrue to students from preserving teacher autonomy and professionalism, the social good of equal opportunity, and public calls for transparency and innovation.

A music video or song video is a short film integrating a song and imagery, produced for promotional or artistic purposes. Modern music videos are primarily made and used as a marketing device intended to promote the sale of music recordings. There are also cases where songs are used in tie in marketing campaigns that allow them to become more than just a song. Tie ins and merchandising could be used in toys are marketing campaigns for food and other products. Although the origins of music videos date back to musical short films that first appeared in the 1920s, they came into prominence in the 1980s when MTV based their format around the medium. Prior to the 1980s, these works were described by various terms including "illustrated song", "filmed insert", "promotional (promo) film", "promotional clip", "promotional video", "song video", "song clip" or "film clip". Since the creation and increased popularity of YouTube, mainstream artists now promote new music videos by releasing trailers of short promos on the site for their upcoming song and music video. Consequentially, YouTube has been converted into a social media platform for celebrities and artists to market themselves to their fans and audiences.

I was sent home with one of my costumes last night so I could practice taking my clothes off on stage.
Before you hyperventilate, I'm fully clothed underneath and am putting other clothes on while taking some off. I just get a little giggle out of it. I fully change my clothes on stage. Twice.
We open tomorrow. Just sayin. More than a little excited.
Don't forget to zip up your fly. Between you and Albert it was quite the trend last night.


All the top guns got into action on Wednesday evening during the first round of Digicel's Senior Squash Championships, currently ongoing at the Georgetown Club Courts.
World-rated female star Nicolette Fernandes, who is also playing in the male category of the tournament, opened her quest to win the championship with a victory over Nicholas Norain.
Arjoon spoke to News Room Sport on his game as well as the competition he expects to face as the championships goes deeper.
"I have been preparing much more for this tournament, but it's nice to get the first match out of the way…but definitely it is going to be tougher to win because the competition is much better this time, especially from the second round onwards," Arjoon noted.
Arjoon added that while the competition will be tough his focus is on playing one match at a time.
"At the end of the day everybody is pretty even; the guys are seeded so the thing is on any day anybody could come and win and that's how it's been going leading up to this tournament, but once the ref says love all then we'll know who is who," Arjoon mentioned.
Meanwhile, Caribbean Motor Racing Champion Kristian Jeffrey showed his versatility with an easy win over Javid Rahaman 11-2, 11-1 and 11-3, while former Caribbean junior champ Jason Ray Khalil won in straight sets against Alex Cheeks 11-4, 11-4 and 11-4.
Nyron Joseph was also in the winner's row, despite dropping a set to Peter Michael DeGroot with the match going 11-0, 4-11, 11-4 and 11-4. Also winning games in the Men's category were Jean Claude Jeffrey over Ben Mekdeci and Shomari Wiltshire over Regan Pollard.
Meanwhile, in the Women's category, Makeda Harding had to call on all her experience to defeat Abosaide Cadogan 11-4, 13-11, 7-11, 11-3, while Victoria Arjoon defeated Kirsten Gomes 11-5, 11-2, 11-5. In the other Women's match, Sarah Lewis beat Madison Fernandes 13-11, 11-9, 11-9.
In Veteran's action (35-49), Allan Downes topped Medhi Ramdhani, while Joe Mekdeci defeated Robin Low before returning to defeat Steven Persaud in the Veterans Over-50 category.
Action in the tournament will continue tonight at the same venue with the finals set for Saturday.
