Deepest look yet into the heart of a quasar
International team observes innermost structure of quasar 3C 273
Astronomy Astrophysics Black Holes Galaxies
At the core of almost every galaxy is a supermassive black hole. But there are many different types. Quasars, for example, are one of the brightest and most active types of galaxy centres. An international group, including researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy in Bonn, presents new observations of the first quasar ever identified. This "quasi-stellar object", named 3C 273, is located at a distance of about 1.9 billion light years in the direction of the constellation Virgo. The new radio images trace the jet down to its origin and show how its width varies with increasing distance from the central black hole.
Zoom into the centre: The image on the left shows the deepest view yet into the plasma jet of quasar 3C 273, allowing us to study in more detail how the jet is focused. The jet extends for hundreds of thousands of light years beyond the galaxy, as can be seen in the optical image on the right, taken by the Hubble Space Telescope. The researchers used radio images at different wavelengths and angular resolutions to measure the expansion of the entire jet. The radio interferometers used here are the Global Millimetre VLBI Array (GMVA), the Atacama Large Millimetre/submillimetre Array (ALMA) and the High Sensitivity Array (HSA).

Active supermassive black holes emit narrow, incredibly powerful jets of plasma that escape at nearly the speed of light. Thomas Krichbaum, astronomer at the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy (MPIfR) in Bonn, Germany, one of the leading authors of the work, says: "These jets have been studied over many decades, yet the details of jet formation are not well understood and a topic of ongoing research. An unresolved issue has been how and where the jets are collimated into a narrow beam, which allows them to propagate to extreme distances beyond their host galaxy. Astronomers now realize that these far outreaching jets may even affect galactic evolution. These new radio observations are probing as deep as 0.5 light years into the heart of the black hole in 3C273 into the region, where the jet plasma flow is collimated into a narrow beam."
This new study, published today in The Astrophysical Journal, includes observations of the 3C 273 jet at the highest angular resolution to date. The ground-breaking work was made possible by using a closely coordinated set of radio antennas around the globe, a combination of the Global Millimeter VLBI Array (GMVA) and the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) in Chile. In addition, coordinated observations were also made with the High Sensitivity Array (HSA) to extend the study of 3C 273 to larger scales, in order to also measure the global shape of the jet. The data in this research were collected in 2017, around the same time that the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) observations revealed the first images of a black hole in M87, which is a radio galaxy about 20 times closer than 3C273.
The MPIfR is the leading institution of the GMVA. Data are processed at the correlator center in the institute, and the observations are coordinated from the institute.
"3C 273 has been studied for decades as the ideal closest laboratory for quasar jets," says Hiroki Okino, lead author of this paper and a PhD student at the University of Tokyo and National Astronomical Observatory of Japan. "However, even though the quasar is a close neighbor, until recently, we didn't have an eye sharp enough to see where this narrow powerful flow of plasma is shaped."
The image of the 3C 273 jet gives scientists the very first view of the innermost part of the jet in a quasar, where the collimation or narrowing of the beam occurs. The team further found that the angle of the plasma stream flowing away from the black hole is tightened up over a very long distance. This narrowing part of the jet continues incredibly far, well beyond the area where the black hole's gravity rules.
"It is striking to see that the shape of the powerful stream is slowly formed over a long distance in an extremely active quasar. This has also been discovered nearby in much fainter and less active supermassive black holes," says Kazunori Akiyama, research scientist at MIT Haystack Observatory and project lead. "The results pose a new question: how does the jet collimation happen so consistently across such varied black hole systems?"
The new, extremely sharp images of the 3C 273 jet were made possible by the inclusion of the ALMA interferometer, which was phased-up to act as a single big radio-telescope. The GMVA and ALMA were connected across continents using a technique called very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) to obtain highly detailed information about distant astronomical sources. The remarkable VLBI capability of ALMA was enabled by the ALMA Phasing Project (APP) team. The international APP team, led by MIT Haystack Observatory and the MPIfR, developed the hardware and software to turn ALMA, an array of sixty-six telescopes, into the world's most sensitive astronomical interferometry station. Collecting data at these wavelengths greatly increases the resolution and sensitivity of the VLBI array. This capability was fundamental not only to the GMVA but also to the EHT's black hole imaging work.
Anton Zensus, director at the MPIfR and coauthor of the present work, concludes: "ALMA joining the global VLBI networks is a complete game-changer for black hole science. With this breakthrough, we obtained the first-ever images of supermassive black holes, and now in cases like 3C 273 it is helping us to see for the first time incredible new details about how black holes power their jets also in such more distant objects."

Apple's sales record is broken but fewer people buy, and sales data will stop being announced.
At 5 am Beijing time, Apple just released the second autumn conference and announced the third natural season of the 2018 fiscal year (the first Fourth quarter) earnings report.
The financial report shows that in the past quarter, Apple's revenue was US$62.9 billion, up 20% year-on-year, and net profit was US$14.125 billion, up 32%. International sales accounted for 61% of total revenue, with Greater China revenue of $11.11 billion.
This is a record-breaking profit, with a quarterly profit more than Alibaba and Tencent's most recent fiscal year.
But Apple's most critical three major hardware sales have not met expectations, with iPhone sales of 46.9 million units, lower than analysts' expectations of 48.4 million units; fourth quarter iPad sales of 9.7 million units and Mac sales of 5.3 million units. Sales of both iPad and Mac are now negative, with iPhone growth of zero, compared with 46.677 million iPhone sales in the same period last year.
This shows that Apple's revenue increase is not because more people buy new equipment, but because products sell more expensive. With the iPhone X, the average selling price (ASP) of the iPhone rose from $618 a year ago to $793.
What worries the market is the fourth quarter of the shopping season, such as Black Friday and Christmas. Apple's revenue guidance is lower than market expectations: Apple expects the company's revenue in the last three months of this year to be $89 billion to $93 billion, far below analysts' previous estimate of Apple's reach of $84.01 billion to $98.54 billion.
In a conference call, Apple CEO Cook attributed some of the impact to weaker emerging markets, and Apple gave cautious sales forecasts.
At the same time, Apple said that from the next fiscal year, sales data for iPhone, iPad and Mac will not be released in detail, and only sales will be announced. This shows that Apple wants the outside world to pay more attention to how much it earns, rather than how many people change new products.
Dan Morgan, senior portfolio manager at Synovus Trust, said that this reflects that Apple's unit sales may remain flat or even decline in some periods, and its revenue growth is mainly due to equipment The price rose and rose.
At the end of the conference call, Finance Director Luca Maestri responded to the reasons for not releasing sales. "Our financial performance in recent years has proven that the number of units sold during any 90-day period does not necessarily represent a potential advantage for our business. Now, the impact of sales data on Apple is no longer as great as it used to be."
< p> Apple's previous conference, the first thing to start is to tell the iPhone sales growth.
Cook said, "It's like you go to the supermarket to buy things. You push the full shopping cart to the checkout counter. The cashier asks you how many things are in the car, but it doesn't matter. As far as the total value of the items in the shopping cart is concerned, how many items there are not important."
The price of new iPhone products continues to increase this year, and the cheapest XR is sold to the iPhone 8 Plus last year. Level. However, due to the release date in October, this financial report does not include its performance.
When Wall Street had been worried that the iPhone XR would affect the higher-priced XS sales, on the conference call, Cook said that so far, there is no indication that customers are no longer buying iPhone XS and XS Max. Instead, just consider buying an iPhone XR.
The iPad and Mac don't perform as well as the iPhone. The newly released iPad Pro and MacBook Air are clearly not in this earnings report. Last quarter, Apple sold 9.7 million iPads, down 6.1% from last year. Tablet PC revenues fell 15% to $4.09 billion.
Mac sales have also fallen, and despite the mid-year upgrade of the MacBook Pro, sales were only 5.3 million units, down 1.6% from the previous year. However, as the average selling price of computers also increased, Mac revenues increased by 3.4% to reach $7.4 billion.
Apple's "other products" (including AirPods and Apple Watch) increased revenue by 31% to $4.2 billion.
Apple's service revenue continues to grow. The financial report shows that Apple's services, including App Store, Apple Music and iCloud, recorded a record high of $9.98 billion in the past quarter. According to FactSet and StreetAccount, this is a 17% increase over the same period last year, but slightly lower than Wall Street's estimated $10.2 billion.
After the earnings report, Apple's share price fell to 7% after the close, closing at -6.48%, during which the market value was once less than $1 trillion.
At this point, the US tech giants FAANG (Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix, Google) were all frustrated.

Pineapple juice, when made without added sugars, has valuable nutrients. If you are trying to lose weight, you can include pineapple juice in your diet, provided you account for the calories and do not rely on the juice as your primary nutrition source.
An 8-oz. cup of unsweetened pineapple juice has 132 calories and a trace of fat. One serving has 25 g of juicing for weight loss sugar, less than 2 g of protein and fiber, 32 g of carbohydrates and 32 mg of calcium. The juice has 25 mg of vitamin C, 45 mcg of folate and some B vitamins. The average man needs 90 mg of vitamin C each day, and a woman needs 75 mg, according to the National Institutes of Health.?Drinking pineapple juice can help you meet your nutritional requirements for the day.
The weight-loss benefits of pineapple juice come in its ability to satisfy your sweet tooth, while at the same time giving you one of your fruit servings. If you eat 1,400 calories a day, you need 1 1/2 cups of fruit. The U.S. Department of Agriculture's 2010 Dietary Guidelines indicate that 1 cup of pineapple juice equals one fruit serving for the day. When you couple eating a lower-calorie diet with consuming the right number of servings from each of the food groups, you may feel more satisfied and able to manage your calories.
You can use pineapple juice while dieting in ways other than as a plain beverage. Combine pineapple juice, ice and fat-free vanilla yogurt in your blender for a refreshing, fat-free smoothie.

Finding his home in Locus Esti; a Leather Lifestyle organization and chosen Family that has fostered his personal growth and development as a Leatherman and leader in our community. He has held several key positions within the Leather Communities in Salt Lake City UT, many of which involve him leading monthly events, 101, 201 and 301 educational classes, fundraisers and rituals.

Upon the graduation of the 2013 Leather Quest Cadets, he was asked to advance to the Headmaster position of The Journey a 6 month series of advanced BDSM and Leather educational studies geared in preparation for admittance into Leather Quest and currently serves his community as the Headmaster of Leather Quest. He also plays a very large role in the safety and security of the Salt Lake City and San Francisco Clubhouse's. Spending most of his time in volunteer, co-production and production positions you're likely to see him rushing by to provide his community with unobtrusive service and opportunities to indulge in their hearts desires. When not found happily filling any of the roles listed above, chances are you will find him getting his hands dirty improving the Salt Lake City Clubhouse or spending time working and playing with his two bratty girls.


In the holy city of Pushkar, the Hotel Premvillas is located in a quiet and peaceful area, just right to relax from a day of sightseeing. The hotel has a vegetarian restaurant offering mostly organic vegetables grown in their own garden. Premvillas has 16 rooms, all spacious and comfortable, all equiped with private bathroom with hot water, TV and fridge.
The city center is just 15 walking minutes away. You can also visit the surrounding nature and meet wild monkeys.


[Apocalypse] really follows the 'First Class' cast. Meaning it is a sequel that will feature McAvoy, Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, Nic Hoult and that cast. It is not a sequel that would necessarily feature Ian, Patrick, Halle and the original cast. It would take place roughly between the past of 'Days of Future Past' and when 'X-Men' first started.
Well that's kind of a bummer but maybe it would be alright.

1Mby1M Virtual Accelerator Investor Forum: With Krishna Srinivasan of LiveOak Venture Partners (Part 1)
Posted on Wednesday, Jan 2nd 2019
Responding to a popular request, we are now sharing transcripts of our investor podcast interviews in this new series. The following interview with Krishna Srinivasan was recorded in November 2018.
Krishna Srinivasan is Founding General Partner at LiveOak Venture Partners, a firm focused on investing in Texas. Great conversation!
Sramana Mitra: Let's first get our audience acquainted with yourself as well as with LiveOak. Tell us about the fund. Tell us a bit about your background. What do you like to invest in? How do you think about your portfolio?
Krishna Srinivasan: I grew up in India. I graduated from one of the IITs. I came to the United States to get a Masters from the
University of Texas. I worked at Motorola in the mid-90's. Following that, I went to business school at Wharton and started in the venture industry in 2000. I joined a firm called Austin Ventures, which was one of the well-respected firms. I joined Austin Ventures and spent a decade there and made partner in 2005. In the early part of this decade, I came out of Austin Ventures with two of my colleagues and started LiveOak Venture Partners.
Sramana Mitra: How big is LiveOak? What's the size of the fund?
Krishna Srinivasan: The first fund was $105 million. We're still yet to disclose the exact size of the second fund but it would be comparable to the first fund.
Sramana Mitra: Talk a little about what you like to invest in.
Krishna Srinivasan: Early-stage investing ends up being much more of a local neighborhood sport. With that as context, we can talk about our investing strategy in terms of four buckets. Number one, our companies are predominantly headquartered in Texas.
Number, two, they're all in technology and technology-enabled services. We are the first institutional money in these companies. They might have raised some seed rounds before. We might be the seed investor too. First check could be as little as half a million dollars to as much as $4 million. Typically it's between $1.5 million and $3 million for the first check and then we invest the whole lifecycle of the company up to $10 million. The fourth element is that in all these investments, we take board seats and we play the role of a local lead investor.
Sramana Mitra: Can you double-click down on stage? Early stage has gone through an evolution since you got into the business in 2000. I raised money for my startup all through the 90's till 2000. That was a different game. It was seed and Series A. Nowadays, we are looking at pre-seed, seed, post-seed, pre-Series A, and small Series A. There's a whole segmentation that has gone on in just seed. How do you fit in that spectrum?
Krishna Srinivasan: Not only has that evolved from a time dimension, it has also evolved geographically. For the rest of the normal world outside of Silicon Valley, it's hard to put companies in a firm bucket. Let's say for a completely unproven, first-time entrepreneur, the typical stage we get in is where they've got some level of early traction. They might have $30,000 to $40,000 of monthly revenues and some evidence of product/market fit. We might call it a seed investment. It might be $1.5 million to $2 million investment.
Let's say for a successful repeat entrepreneur who's coming up with the simplest idea where we might even be part of company formation with them, we might take earlier-stage risks. That might be a $2 million to $3 million investment into that company. It's more about how we feel about the company's ability to absorb that capital and do something meaningful with it.
Are we still at the stage of trying to figure out what product or market it needs to be? You are more forgiving and you somehow believe that somebody who has been there and done that can absorb the capital and do something expected of it. I would say comparable to Silicon Valley, we are a seed investor. Some of our companies could be called Series A.

I've been working in some depth around Windows security topics since 1997, when I began teaching Windows hardening classes at Interop with my colleague and co-author James Michael Stewart. In 2003, I started researching malware topics and tools, a quest that eventually led to my 2005 book "
Explorer Crashes? ShellExView to the Rescue!


They have called themselves "Reformers," "Restorationalists," Disciples of Christ," "Christians," "Christian Church," "Church of Christ," and even a few other titles. Barton W. Stone contended for the name "Christian," while Alexander Campbell thought "Disciples" was better.
Apparently there was quite a bit of "heat" between Campbell and Stone on this point.
The matter of having the correct name is still an important issue in the Churches of Christ and many do not believe that one can be saved unless he wears the right name. Some will even go so far as to say that "The" must not even be attached to "Church of Christ" while others will not even allow any additional items to be added which would identify its locality.
For example, "Main Street Church of Christ" would be considered wrong.
Of course, not all Campbellites believe alike on these foregoing restrictions, but all of them are concerned about the name they wear. And often they will cite some verses in the Bible which they believe teach the wearing of a "correct" name.
Here, we will take a look at of some of those passages that are often used.
Campbellites reason from this verse that since Christ said "My church," it must have been named after Jesus Christ.
However, you will notice that there is no name given in the verse and there is no command to wear a name in the verse. When we read "My church" it simply tells us whose church it is.
One may say "I will build by fence," but does these mean he will place a name on the fence which reads, "The Fence of Mr. Jones"?
Someone may build and own a fence, but it does not mean that the person will provide a name for his fence.
Question: Does this verse command us to hang out a name over the church building?
If so, what is that name?
Isn't it amazing how the Campbellites grab on to this verse to justify their "name," yet miss the great doctrine of salvation by Jesus Christ alone which is the emphasis of the apostle?
There is not one word about wearing a name in the verse, yet the great doctrine of salvation through the person of Jesus Christ is lost.
Even if this verse were giving a name to wear, the Campbellite name would be wrong, for the word "church" is not a proper translation, much like the word "baptize" is not a proper translation.
Of the word "church," Campbell said: "Church, or kirk, is an abbreviation of the words kuriou oikos, 'the house of the Lord' and does not translate the term ekklesia." (Living Oracles, page 55).
All Greek authorities tell us that it is the word "ekkesia" means assembly or congregation. The word "church" like the word "baptize" is in the King James translation because King James' rules to the translators demanded that it be used.
In view of these facts, the title "Church of Christ" is incorrect, unless Campbellites can prove that "the tradition of men" is acceptable, and then they would still have to produce a command that this particular title should be worn.
Campbellites teach that this verse means the church is to wear a name. Yet no such thing is taught here. The Greek of this verse is "each" or "every" family, not the whole family. So it is not referring to the idea of a universal church, but to every family of creation.
Furthermore, it is not Christ of whom each family is "named," but God the Father (vrs. 14). The word "is named" simply refers to the fact hat God is the source of all existing families; He is their creator and sustainer.
There is no title for the church, nor a command to wear a title, stated in the verse.
This happened about eleven years or so after the day of Pentecost, the day on which Campbellites contend the church was born, and one was called "Christian," nor were churches named "Church of Christ," during those eleven years.
This ought to be enough to prove that one can be saved without wearing a certain brand name.
Over and over again you hear this one. "Investigate and be a member of no church but the one you can read about in the Bible," they say. Well, that's good advice, but the Campbellite church is not mentioned in the Bible!
Someone might say, "Haven't you read about the churches of Christ in the Bible?" Yes we have. But tacking that expression on a sign or building does not make a group of heretics who follow the interpretations and doctrines of Alexander Campbell & Company a church of Christ.
Their claim is foolish and ridiculous and an insult to human intelligence.
Well, even if they were the church of Christ, they would be a denomination.
Webster gives these definitions: 1. Act of denominating or naming. 2. A name, designation, or title. 3. A class or society of individuals, called by the same name; a sect.
On every one of these points the Campbellites are a denomination. They are denominated by a name: "Church of Christ," "Disciples of Christ," Christian Church." They are also distinguished as a denomination by their doctrines.
It is just another appeal to ignorance for Campbellites to try and pan off the notion they are not a distinct religious denomination. Actually, they are one of the most rigidly sectarian denomination in existence, often teaching that outside their religious movement, there is no salvation!
To illustrate their sectarian character, if you believe exactly as they believe, but used a piano instead of a tuning fork, it is often taught that you would go to hell, or if you wore "Christian" on the church building instead of "Church of Christ," you would likewise perish!

Q: Assign count variable over calling .count on Array in Swift I occasionally come to a place where I will not be changing the contents of an array, but I need to know its count several times over a function. Is it more efficient to assign the .count of the array to a variable and use it multiple times, or does the compiler make the efficiency equivalent?

A: Let's investigate! Is myArray.count equivalent to accessing a stored property or is it a computed property performing some "unnecessary" calculations if called repeatedly for a non-mutated array? (Disregarding compiler cleverness)

*

*swift/stdlib/public/core/Arrays.swift.gyb

/// The number of elements in the array.
public var count: Int {
  return _getCount()
}

// ... what is function _getCount()?

internal func _getCount() -> Int {
  return _buffer.count
}

// ... what is property _buffer?
internal var _buffer: _Buffer

// ... what is type _Buffer? (Swift)
internal typealias _Buffer = _ContiguousArrayBuffer<Element>

// ... what is type _ContiguousArrayBuffer?
// --> switch source file

*

*swift/stdlib/public/core/ContiguousArrayBuffer.swift

import SwiftShims

/// Class used whose sole instance is used as storage for empty
/// arrays.  The instance is defined in the runtime and statically
/// initialized.  See stdlib/runtime/GlobalObjects.cpp for details.
internal struct _ContiguousArrayBuffer<Element> : _ArrayBufferProtocol {

  // ... conformance to _ArrayBufferProtocol

  /// The number of elements the buffer stores.
  internal var count: Int {
    get {
      return __bufferPointer.header.count
    }
    // ...
  }
  // ...
}

// ... what is property __bufferPointer?
var __bufferPointer: ManagedBufferPointer<_ArrayBody, Element>

// what is type _ArrayBody?
// we notice for now that it is used in the following class:
internal final class _EmptyArrayStorage
  : _ContiguousArrayStorageBase {
  // ...

  var countAndCapacity: _ArrayBody // telling name for a tuple? :)
}

// --> proceed to core/ArrayBody.swift

*

*swift/stdlib/public/core/ArrayBody.swift

import SwiftShims

// ...

internal struct _ArrayBody {
  var _storage: _SwiftArrayBodyStorage

  // ...

  /// The number of elements stored in this Array.
  var count: Int {
    get {
      return _assumeNonNegative(_storage.count)
    }
    set(newCount) {
      _storage.count = newCount
    }
  }
}

// we are near our price! we need to look closer at  _SwiftArrayBodyStorage,
// the type of _storage, so lets look at SwiftShims, GlobalObjects.cpp
// (as mentioned in source comments above), specifically
// --> switch source file

*

*swift/stdlib/public/SwiftShims/GlobalObjects.h

struct _SwiftArrayBodyStorage {
  __swift_intptr_t count;
  __swift_uintptr_t _capacityAndFlags;
};

// Yay, we found a stored property!

So in the end count is a stored property and is not computed per call, so it should be no reason to explicitly store the arr.count property by yourself.

A: struct _SwiftArrayBodyStorage {
    __swift_intptr_t count;
    __swift_uintptr_t _capacityAndFlags;
};

this is the struct that Swift implements. According to this count is there all the time knowing how many elements are in buffer. You probably can use that
info form: https://ankit.im/swift/2016/01/08/exploring-swift-array-implementation/
edit for more info
public var count: Int {
  get {
    return __bufferPointer.value.count
  }
  nonmutating set {
     _sanityCheck(newValue >= 0)

     _sanityCheck(
        newValue <= capacity,
        "Can't grow an array buffer past its capacity")

        __bufferPointer._valuePointer.memory.count = newValue
    }
}

A: It doesn't matter; I'd suggest just doing whatever makes your code simpler and easier to understand. In release builds, the optimizer should inline and notice that the value will be the same across calls. Regardless, Array.count is basically equivalent in performance/codegen to accessing a local variable.

A: Array.count is a precomputed value. Since it doesn't compute it on the fly, it is far less work to use it than to use memory to store it a second time. Even so, neither method should matter unless being done in the millions+.

States of Danger and Deceit: European Political Thrillers in the 1970s
Investigation of a Citizen Above Suspicion (1970), dir Elio Petri, starring Gian Maria Volontè as a fascistic police chief
'States of Danger and Deceit: European Political Thrillers in the 1970s' is the major season at HOME in Manchester starting on Saturday November 4th and running through to Tuesday 12th December. The season has been planned to coincide with the national British Film Institute THRILLER tour organised with the ICO (Independent Cinema Office. The HOME season comprises eighteen selected titles, eleven of which are also available to screen at other venues. (See the information on the HOME website.)
The HOME Season is curated by Andy Willis, Reader in Film at Salford University, with Rachel Hayward (Programme Manager, Film) and Jessie Gibbs (Film Festivals co-ordinator). An enormous amount of effort has gone into finding the best possible viewing prints for films of this vintage and also acquiring screening rights. Given all the difficulties of finding prints, there is an amazing array of film titles in the season. One or two titles are showing twice and many of the screenings are supported by introductions, post-screening discussions and other events.
Angela Winkler in The Lost Honour of Katherina Blum (West Germany 1975) dirs Margarethe von Trotta and Volker Schlöndorff
So, why this season at this point? I guess we'll all have to wait for Andy's 'One-hour Intro' on 8th November for a full explanation, but I suspect that he's going to focus on two points. The first recognises the political turmoil that existed across Europe in the 1970s. Radical groups prepared to literally fight the authorities on the street emerged in Italy (The Red Brigade) and West Germany (The Baader-Meinhof Gang). These were taken to be 'leftist' groups and their violence was matched by attacks from the right in Spain and elsewhere. (The two Spanish films in the season were screened earlier this year as part of HOME's Viva! Festival.) Though Italy and Germany provide many of the narratives, others are set in France, Spain, UK, Greece, Sweden and East Germany. The second point is that popular genres can often be the vehicle for quite complex investigations into politics and public policy.
I'm offering two 'events' in the programme. One is a 'One Hour Intro' before the screening of Bo Widerberg's Man on the Roof (Sweden 1976). For this I'm attempting to read all ten of the original Martin Beck novels by Maj Sjöwall and Per Wahlöö. The ten novels comprise a single extended essay on the failures of Swedish democracy entitled 'The Story of a Crime'. Committed Marxists, the authors set out to expose the contradictions of the welfare state and Swedish public policy. That's one kind of 'political thriller' and another is the classic Day of the Jackal (France-UK 1973) about the attempted assassination of Charles de Gaulle in 1963. I watched this again recently and it's another riveting procedural drama that I'm looking forward to discussing in the context of the season after the screening.
I'm hoping to get to several more of the films on offer and reports will feature on this blog. Several titles are also screening during the Leeds International Film Festival which opens on November 1st and at other venues over the next couple of months. The season offers a great chance to discover some of the best films of the 1970s and amidst all the nonsense of Brexit it's great to be focusing on European cinema.

It is an interesting programme. However I checked quite a lot of the titles at HOME and the only one that came up on 35mm was 'Illustrious Corpses' / 'Cadaveri eccellenti', 1976. One title not on film but which should be available in a 35mm print is 'Investigation of a Citizen Above Suspicion'/'Indagine su un cittadino al di sopra di ogni sospetto' (1970).Some of the titles are indeed at the Leeds Festival, but most of the ones there are on digital.
I have seen about a 100 titles this year that originated on photo-chemical film, and nearly half were transfers to digital. What was apparent was the variation in quality. Friends and colleagues at festivals have made similar comments. 35mm prints vary but I think not to this degree.
Before I go and see a film transferred to digital I want to get a quality control check – very difficult. It would help if critics essayed this. I know Roy usually does, but we need more providing such information.
November 1, 2017 - 5:10 Roy Stafford
I hope we all want to see the best possible prints of any film, whether digital or 35mm. I do want to point out though that because a film exists in a (possibly new) 35mm print, doesn't mean it is straightforward to programme it for a festival or a season at a cinema like HOME. Physical prints have to be shipped and many of them for a season like the above may be held overseas. European companies holding prints have been known to ask up to €1,000 for a single showing. That's one of the reasons why sometimes there appear to be missing film titles in a programme or projection from a less than perfect print. It's fine if the screening is subsidised or sponsored with a guaranteed audience – but otherwise it may simply be too expensive.

I an aware of the constraints on Exhibitors because I have spoken to a few regarding this issue. However, to be honest my sympathy has rather run out. In the case of the Thriller programme I was referring to 35mm prints held at the BFI National Archive. And there are other examples where there are prints in Britain but the screening is from digital.
Moreover, the digital usage is a lottery. Hardly any screenings relying on DCP offer 4K versions. But I know from experience that there is a closer [though not complete] equivalence between digital and photo-chemical film at this quality.
In addition we are not just discussing 35mm film versus theatrical standard digital. There seems to be an increasing reliance on screening from video, either DVD or Blu-Ray or the rather sneaky practice of uploading video onto a DCP.
One title I referred to, 'Investigation of a Citizen Above Suspicion'/'Indagine su un cittadino al di sopra di ogni sospetto' (1970), is screening from a Blu-Ray in Leeds. So what are HOME screening from.
I should add that HOME do at least specify which titles are on 35mm film whilst some other exhibitors do not; hence having to telephone to find out. But HOME do not specify what type of digital, theatrical standard or video, and the only examples I know of in Britain that do are Festivals; one star to |Leeds who do.

Madras high court orders Kiran Bedi not to interfere with Puducherry govt
Thiruvananthapuram, First Published May 1, 2019, 6:32 PM IST
The Madras high court ordered Kiran Bedi not to interfere in the elected government of the Union territory's day-to-day affairs. The petitioner Lakshminarayanan submitted that there were political differences between the elected Government of Puducherry and the Centre.
Chennai: The Madras high court ordered Lt Governor Kiran Bedi on Tuesday that she "cannot interfere" in the day-to-day affairs of the elected government of the Union territory. Chief minister V Narayanasamy termed the high court's decision as victory of democracy.
Allowing a petition by K Laksminarayanan, a Congress MLA, Justice R Mahadevan set aside the two communications issued in January and June 2017 by the Union ministry of home affairs "elevating" the power of the administrator.
Referring to the Supreme Court judgement on the tussle between Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal and Lt Governor Anil Baijal, the judge said restrictions imposed on the government of Delhi are not applicable to the government of Puducherry.
"The apex court has clearly held that there is a distinction between the national capital territory of Delhi and Puducherry," the judge said.
"Though Puducherry was not a state, the Legislative Assembly would have the same powers as that of a state," he said.
Hailing the judgement, Congress leader and chief minister Narayanasamy, who has been at loggerheads with Bedi over various issues, said the court order was "historic and demonstrates the victory of democracy."
In her reaction, Bedi said, "We are examining the judgement."
The judge, in his order, said, "The Administrator cannot interfere in the day-to -ay affairs of the government. The decision taken by the Council of Ministers and the Chief Minister is binding on the Secretaries and other officials."
The petitioner Lakshminarayanan is an elected member of the Puducherry Assembly from the Raj Bhavan constituency. He submitted that there were political differences between the elected Government of Puducherry and the Centre.
"She (Bedi) conducts review meetings with the officials directly, by-passing the elected government, carries out inspections and issues on-the-spot orders and thereby runs a parallel and diametrically opposite government within the government," he claimed.
The petitioner also alleged that the administrator was interfering in the day-to-day administration of the territorial government, its policies and programmes.
The judge observed that the court had already discussed the role of secretaries.
They normally act only as a medium of communication, utmost to render their opinion at circumstances and have no power or authority to override the decisions of the Council.
The court said elected representatives of the government play a major role in decision making, or else, there would be no purpose in having an elected government, who are the true representatives of the people.
