Bruce Obomeyoma Onobrakpeya (nascido em 30 de agosto de 1932) é um dos artistas com maior notoriedade na Nigéria, tendo como técnicas a escultura, pintura, gravura, dentre outras. Aos 89 anos e residindo em Mushin, Lagos, onde tem o estúdio e galeria Ovuomaroro, Bruce é um artista modernista e contemporâneo, possuindo vários prêmios e uma fundação com seu nome. Nela, possibilita que várias pessoas desenvolvam técnicas e habilidades artísticas através de cursos, workshops, exposições e atividades, com uma ênfase no fomento à comunidade local. Algumas exposições renomadas do artista já estiveram na galeria de arte Tate Modern, em Londres e no Museu Nacional de Arte Africana, parte da Instituição Smithsonian em Washington, D.C. Na Galeria Nacional de Arte Moderna de Lagos, Bruce possui uma exibição de telas coloridas e abstratas, e seus trabalhos podem ser encontrados no Museu Virtual de de Arte Moderna Nigeriana, havendo inclusive uma visitação disponível pelo Google Arts & Culture.

Primeiros Anos

Bruce nasceu em Agbarha-Otor, Delta, Nigéria. Ele é filho de um gravurista Urrobo, que rompendo com as tradições de seu tempo foi compreensivo quanto à escolha de carreira do filho. Criado como cristão, também aprendeu sobre as crenças tradicionais de seu povo. Sua família se mudou para Benin, no estado de Edo, quando ele era criança.

Ele recebeu sua educação primária na Escola Batista em Okeruvbi (o vale de um rio na área rural da cidade), na Native Authority School (em Ughelli) e na Eweka Memorial High School, perto de Iyaro, Benin (de 1941 a 1942). Nesta época ele já começa suas experimentações com gravuras a partir de materiais que encontrava livremente. Entre 43 e 46 ele vai para a Ziks Academy School, em Sapele, e em 47 para a Saint Luke's CMS School. Sua educação secundária se dá na Western Boys High School (de volta em Benin), onde ele é introduzido à arte como conteúdo escolar, ensinado por Edward Ivehivboje.

Enquanto aluno, ele atende a aulas de desenho na British Council Art Club (Benin). Também é inspirado pelas aquarelas de Emmanuel Erabor e uma palestra dada em 1950 por Ben Enwonwu (à época consultor de arte do governo nigeriano). Completando seu ensino secundário com resultados excelentes e altamente incomuns nos exames finais, que impressionaram o fundador da escolar, Mr. Airewele, Onobrakpeya é contratado entre 53 e 56 como professor de arte na própria Western Boys High School.

Em 1956 ele se muda para Ondô, onde leciona na Ondo Boys High School. Em outubro de 1957 ele é admitido na Nigerian College of Arts, Science and Technology, atual Universidade Ahmadu Bello, Zaria, estudando Belas Artes através de uma bolsa de estudos do governo federal (concedida após uma entrevista recomendada pelo diretor da Ondo Boys High School).

Consolidação artística

Na universidade, Bruce foi treinado na tradição de arte representacional ocidental, produzindo desenhos de modelo vivo, naturezas mortas, paisagens, etc. Ao mesmo tempo, ele começou a experimentar sobre o folclore nigeriano, seus mitos e lendas. Como resultado, em muitos trabalhos são abordados elementos e composições derivadas de artes e esculturas tradicionais africanas.

A Zaria Arts Society, eventualmente chamada de Zaria Rebels (ainda que haja discussão sobre o caráter revolucionário do movimento), foi formada em 9 de outubro de 1958 por um grupo de estudantes de arte da faculdade, liderados por Uche Okeke. Um objetivo da sociedade era decolonizar as artes visuais difundidas por europeus, através do princípio da natural synthesis (ainda que houvesse divergência entre seus membros sobre sua interpretação: "Embora essa visão fosse subscrita por um interesse compartilhado na teoria da natural synthesis, eu disputo que não havia um único entendimento em como a teoria deveria se relacionar com ou determinar o estilo e assunto do trabalho pós-Zaria. De fato, conforme seus estilos individuais surgiram no começo dos anos 60, a ideia de natural synthesis rendeu um amplo alcance de procedimentos formais, dadas as múltiplas possibilidades do que tradições artísticas "nativas" constituem e o igualmente amplo arquivo da herança modernista da qual seus novos trabalhos derivaram alguns de seus protocolos técnicos e formais." Um preceito dos jovens de Zaria era ir além do currículo Oyimbo adaptado (o currículo essencialmente britânico vigente na escola, monitorado pelo Goldsmith College de Londres). Cabe mencionar o contexto da independência da Nigéria, que se deu formalmente em 1960.

Recém-saído da escola de arte, em 1962, Onobrakpeya vai trabalhar até o ano seguinte sob a mentoria de Ben Enwonwu, ao qual atribui influência na sua decisão futura de expandir seu trabalho do estúdio para oficinas. Também em 1962, Bruce entra para o Mbari Club, um centro de atividade cultural fundado por Ulli Beier no ano anterior. Beier hoje é visto por sua associação com a CIA no contexto cultural da Guerra Fria.

O mesmo Beier é tido por Bruce como uma presença decisiva em sua formação:" Eu devo também mencionar a pessoa do professor Ulli Beier, que me introduziu à gravura. Ele é muito importante na minha vida".

No clube Mbari, Onobrakpeya assume uma mudança principal em sua produção, da pintura para a gravura, na oficina conduzida pelo mestre holandês Ru Van Rossen. Tanto os Mbari quanto Zaria podem ter estabelecido as expectativas quanto à arte nigeriana em termos de modernidade híbrida.

Tendo saído de Zaria como professor certificado, Bruce é entrevistado para assumir um posto em Nsukka, mas o cargo de seu interesse já estava ocupado. Timothy Fasuyi e Simon Okeke levam Bruce ao St. Gregory College. Lá se estabelecem grandes experiências (que incluem uma boa aceitação de Bruce pelos alunos, graças ao uso de técnicas de contação de histórias), e uma atividade regular de ensino se estende de 1963 até 1980. Em 1970 (ano do fim da Guerra Civil da Nigéria) ele vai com um time de professores africanos aos Estados Unidos, patrocinado pelo Departamento de Estado dos Estados Unidos, e recebe uma carta da Howard University (universidade considerada historicamente negra), fazendo um convite para lecionar, ao qual declina. Porém ele faz uma breve residência na Haystack Mountain School of Art, Maine, em 1975, já demonstrando sua afinidade com workshops. Também foi professor associado na Elizabeth City State University, Carolina do Norte (1979), e artista residente na Tacoma Public School, Washington State (1989).

Posicionamentos e contextos

Bruce divide sua obra por períodos que juntos se estendem por mais de 60 anos, identificando neles temas associados à realidade da Nigéria. Um exame criterioso de sua lista de exposições selecionadas e prêmios recebidos, porém, revela associações com instituições implicadas nos problemas apontados em sua obra. Em 1972 ele exibiu seu trabalho na sociedade de arte do FMI, instituição que financiou, junto ao Banco Mundial, as próprias ditaduras militares que afligiam seu país. Em 1979 ele volta a se reunir com Ru Van Rossen na Holanda com o patrocínio da DHV, que futuramente planejaria o polêmico Eko Atlantic em Lagos. Em 80 ele recebe o Ciba-Geigy Travel and Exhibition Award, de uma expoente da indústria farmacêutica, que está envolvida em controvérsias que afetam países em desenvolvimento (em particular a Nigéria). O mesmo Bruce afirma, anos depois: "Nós devemos também reconhecer a senhora Akiuruli [sic] por sua liderança da NAFDAC (a agência reguladora de medicamentos e alimentos na Nigéria). Esta é uma posição muito sensível, que é uma constante luta contra aqueles que falsificam ou importam medicamentos perigosos às nossas vidas. De qualquer forma, há ainda uma grande e crescente lacuna a ser coberta pelo setor da saúde. O que nós estamos fazendo sobre o alto custo dos medicamentos, que agora tem ido além do alcance da pessoa comum, ou dos leprosos [sic] que povoam nossas rodovias? Isto é um chamado para mais pessoas direcionarem seus recursos e energias para salvar nosso povo de problemas de saúde e reabilitar os desabrigados em nossa sociedade.". A Guinness (Nigéria), que já pagou multas por subornar a NAFDAC para usar matéria-prima vencida, também já patrocinou a exposição Unidade Através das Artes, de Onobrakpeya, no Museu Nacional da Nigéria, em 1990.

Em 1990, também, a ABB (Asea Brown Boveri) faz uma apresentação dos trabalhos recentes de Bruce na Riegelsberger Gallery Mannheim, Alemanha. A ABB subornou o governo da Nigéria para obter contratos na área de petróleo e informação privilegiada, tendo sido condenada por uma lei de 1998.

Em 1993 Bruce lança um livro, conferência e simpósio patrocinados pela The Shell Petroleum Development Company of Nigeria Limited, sendo a exploração de petróleo a grande responsável pelos ostensivos danos ambientais em sua região, o Delta do Níger. Por seu forte ativismo contra a Shell, Ken Saro-Wiwa é executado em 1995, o que causa comoção internacional e leva Bruce a fazer uma série de poemas e ilustrações homenageando a vítima. Em 97 um de seus filhos faz uma exposição financiada pela Chevron (Nig.) Ltd. Em 1998, a Texaco Overseas (Nig.) Petroleum Unlimited patrocina "New Trends in Nigerian Art", 1999 Promoter of Nigerian Art: Bruce Onobrakpeya, Goethe-Institut Lagos, Nigeria.

Em 2006, Onobrakpeya, num mesmo discurso de homenagem a entidades diversas, faz elogios à Nigerian Liquefied Natural Gas, NLNG (25.6% Shell Gas B.V.) e a Saro-Wiwa, sendo que a própria Shell admitiu sua implicação na morte do ativista no ano anterior. O tema do dano ambiental continua a aparecer em obras posteriores do artista. Em 2015 a Shell financia o workshop de duas semanas Art of the Delta, sob a mentoria direta de Bruce.

Bruce Onobrakpeya conta frequentemente com o apoio do influente clã Ibru, constituído por urrobos de Agbarha-Otor, com investimentos nos mais diversos setores (e interesses comerciais inclusive no Brasil), e envolvido em imensos escândalos de fraude financeira.

É notável a ausência de qualquer confronto da figura de Onobrakpeya com estas aparentes contradições, pelo menos dentro da comunidade anglófona na internet. O artista tem um volume expressivo de textos autorais no blog de sua fundação, inclusive sobre posições políticas e sociais, mas o tom adotado costuma ser vago ou conciliatório. Ao comentar sobre um prêmio que recebeu de Saddam Hussein, também menciona um quadro dado como presente a Barack Obama. Ele considera memoráveis seus encontros com Indira Gandhi, e com o cônsul da rainha da Inglaterra, príncipe Philips. Também considera que seu primeiro reconhecimento internacional veio com uma impressão adquirida pelo duque de Edimburgo, numa exibição de arte da Commonwealth, em Cardiff, Wales, 1966.

As entrevistas com Bruce são feitas pela imprensa local e parecem seguir sempre um mesmo roteiro, onde ele é convidado a falar sobre suas visões gerais sobre arte e sobre aspectos pessoais de sua vida (como conheceu sua esposa, quantos filhos tem, o contato deles com a arte, o que faz para relaxar, gosto musical e alimentar são todos temas abordados repetidas vezes). Um dos poucos aspectos em que a interpretação conciliatória de Bruce parece não ser compartilhada pela sociedade nigeriana é a religião. Bruce diz: "Não; Eu não tenho (nenhum arrependimento) porque eu não decidi viver uma vida cheia de controvérsias. Mas pelo outro lado, eu tenho arrependimento. Eu pintei os apóstolos em cores pretas. Eu não usei figuras brancas. Eu usei imagens pretas ao invés de oyibo (brancas). Então a comunidade Cristã, especialmente os Católicos, não gostaram e quiseram que eu alterasse. A pintura causou muita comoção na época.". Houve muita repercussão em torno da obra The Last Supper, ainda que esta utilizasse grande originalidade técnica, e tenha rendido a Bruce um prêmio em Nova Delhi (oportunidade em que conheceu Indira Gandhi) Há casos de destruição de obras de Onobrakpeya por suas temáticas religiosas. Ao mesmo tempo, Bruce recebeu a medalha de ouro do papa Paulo VI, e está exposto no Museu do Vaticano.

Um exemplo de comentário sobre posicionamentos de patrocinadores na arte africana ocorre quando Okwui Enwesor, em 1996, aponta como o financiamento do festival Africa95 pela mineradora sul-africana De Beers (envolvida com expropriação no Botsuana e conflitos em Serra Leoa) o compromete. Bruce participou de Sete Histórias Sobre Arte Moderna na África, na Whitechapel Art Gallery, Londres (um evento do festival). Outra crítica ainda dentro do viés ideológico, pode ser feita às exibições de Bruce e do Harmattan na School of African and Oriental Studies, em 1997 e 2014, respectivamente (a SOAS foi estabelecida em Londres em 1906, originalmente para treinar os administradores coloniais do Império; alguns críticos destacam a dimensão neocolonial da instituição e, por extensão, de festivais nela concebidos).

É importante ter em mente o processo colonial específico atravessado pela Nigéria e como instituições com histórico opressor ainda são centrais e figuras que se articulam com essas instituições são relevantes. O país é uma das maiores economias no continente africano, hoje, justamente graças ao petróleo do Delta do Níger, região marcada por conflitos intensos. Esforço conciliatório é transversal em toda a obra de Bruce, estando presente nas diversas manifestações do paradigma de síntese (da cultura dos diferentes povos da Nigéria, das diferentes religiões, das estéticas exógenas e nativas, de diferentes materiais e técnicas, diferentes tempos, etc), como também na evocação da metamorfose e da morte como outra forma de vida.

São ubíquas as críticas à dificuldade de se financiar arte na Nigéria. Se historicamente a manipulação do capital estrangeiro é flagrante, a expectativa não é de que as coisas melhorem, a menos que o governo nigeriano estabeleça uma política cultural clara: "Adeyemi acredita que "o governo deve se erguer como uma vanguarda na criação de instrumentos possibilitadores e ambientes para prevenir a exploração de nossa cultura por 'piratas agitando iscas' que podem e vão mudar a cultura para satisfazer seus interesses comerciais. Quem paga o flautista, afinal, diz o tom, e como o tom é tocado, comercializado e recebido por outros," ele diz.".

Na primeira exposição individual de Bruce, em 1959, Ughelli, Delta, um dos preços mais altos pagos por uma obra sua foi um guinéu. Em 2008, sua obra Greater Nigeria foi leiloada por históricos 9,2 milhões de nairas. A princípio isso pode parecer absolutamente positivo, mas já se discute que a supervalorização internacional da arte africana pode levar à sua gentrificação, de forma que ela passe a ser novamente concentrada apenas nos países mais ricos. Uma crítica levantada por nigerianos mais velhos é que a "geração Indomie" (aqueles nascidos a partir de 1995) tem pouco ou nenhum conhecimento sobre seus artistas conterrâneos.

Fundação Bruce Onobrakpeya
Bruce possui uma fundação não-governamental homônima onde ele é o presidente, formada em 1999. Seu objetivo é motivar e encorajar o crescimento de arte e cultura através de oportunidades para artistas desenvolverem habilidades, ao mesmo tempo que aumenta a consciência pública sobre arte africana e seus benefícios para a sociedade.

Como professor de arte, Bruce possuía um estúdio onde praticava após os horários de aula. Nesse meio tempo, ele chegou a contratar algumas pessoas, dentre estudantes e colecionadores, como assistentes e estagiários. Após se tornar artista integral em 1980, Onobrakpeya e sua equipe necessitavam de um espaço maior e assim se decidiu construir oficinas (espaços de trabalho) fora da cidade de Lagos.

Após algumas vivências, já em 2018, o fundador Bruce Onobrakpeya presenteou a fundação com um terreno, para que a instituição fosse construída.

Workshop Harmattan
Dentre as atividades da Fundação Bruce Onobrakpeya, uma de grande destaque é o Harmattan Workshop. A atividade anual é uma reunião de artistas, alunos e estudantes de diferentes partes do mundo, com a intenção de não só proporcionar treinamento e oportunidades criativas para participantes, como também agitar a economia da comunidade local e apresentar plataformas e networking para os mesmos.

O Workshop é dividido em duas sessões: a primeira, instrutiva e interativa, consiste em matérias de disponibilidade dos facilitadores que podem supervisionar e ensinar os participantes.

A segunda sessão é direcionada por artistas que utilizam o período para desenvolver suas próprias ideias. Temas abordados até então na primeira sessão incluem: Pintura, Design têxtil, Cerâmica, Escultura em madeiras, Esculturas em metal, Escultura em pedra, Design de jóias e Artesanato, Fotografia, entre outros.

É interessante que, mesmo num país turbulento e cheio de desafios, e, ao mesmo tempo recebendo sempre convites internacionais, Bruce Onobrakpaya fez questão de continuar na Nigéria. Bruce mantém uma equipe de cerca de 40 pessoas. Desde sua primeira edição em 1998, o Harmattan viu suas turmas crescerem de 15 pessoas para até 70.

Algumas preocupações da instituição são manter as taxas baixas, para serem acessíveis à população local (havendo inclusive bolsas de estudos para pessoas sem condições financeiras), oferecer acomodações, refeições e materiais artísticos, e se manter como uma oportunidade de aprendizado sem as barreiras de acesso da educação formal, das quais o próprio Bruce quase foi vítima ("O desafio que eu enfrentei foi me matricular na universidade."), mesmo que isso signifique não desfrutar dos benefícios que a Bruce Onobrakpeya Foundation poderia ter se fosse registrada como uma instituição de ensino. Isso reflete uma preocupação com grupos vulneráveis ("O workshop Harmattan ajuda no treinamento de pessoas que nunca iriam ser capazes de adquirir habilidades, exceto no confinamento de uma escola de arte. Educação artística é feita disponível para eles em suas próprias localidades. Entre os beneficiados estão estudantes, mães solteiras, mães adolescentes, vítimas da evasão escolar, estudantes universitários, etc, dos entornos de Agbarha-Otor. Meus dois irmãos, que nunca foram a escolas de arte, se tornaram mestres escultores em pedra. (...) O workshop Harmattan é não apenas sensível ao gênero, mas também tem um ambiente um ambiente acolhedor para bebês.").

The 52-week range on FSLY shows that it touched its highest point at $29.99 and its lowest point at $7.15 during that stretch. It currently has a 1-year price target of $10.45. Beta for the stock currently stands at 1.31.
Stock performance is one of the indicators that investors use to determine whether they will profit from a stock. The price performance of FSLY was up-trending over the past week, with a rise of 0.89%, but this was up by 20.87% over a month. Three-month performance surged to 22.46% while six-month performance fell -10.32%. The stock lost -63.52% in the past year, while it has gained 25.15% so far this year. A look at the trailing 12-month EPS for FSLY yields -1.68 with Next year EPS estimates of -0.46. For the next quarter, that number is -0.13. This implies an EPS growth rate of -107.10% for this year and 30.80% for next year.
At present, 122.34 million FSLY shares are outstanding with a float of 111.62 million shares on hand for trading. On Oct 13, 2022, short shares totaled 11.77 million, which was 9.65% higher than short shares on Sep 14, 2022. In addition to Mr. Artur Bergman as the firm's Co-Founder, Exec. Chairman & Chief Architect, Mr. Ronald W. Kisling serves as its Chief Financial Officer.

There are 2 analysts who recommend BUY ratings, while 3 suggest SELL ratings. Of the remaining analysts, 8 believe that the stock is worth HOLDING, 0 give it an OVERWEIGHT rating, and 1 thinks that it's UNDERWEIGHT. In the same way, a target price assigned to a stock can also reveal much about its potential. With FSLY analysts setting a high price target of $25.00 and a low target of $6.00, the average target price over the next 12 months is $10.45. Based on these targets, FSLY could surge 143.9% to reach the target high and fall by -41.46% to reach the target low. Reaching the average price target will result in a growth of 1.95% from current levels.
It is also common to use earnings estimates to evaluate a firm's growth potential and to determine trading strategy. FSLY will report FY 2022 earnings on 02/14/2024. Analysts have provided yearly estimates in a range of -$0.63 being high and -$0.67 being low. For FSLY, this leads to a yearly average estimate of -$0.65. The earnings surprise of a firm occurs when the actual results change from the consensus earnings estimate. Fastly Inc. surprised analysts by $0.03 when it reported -$0.14 EPS against a consensus estimate of -$0.17. The surprise factor in the prior quarter was -$0.06. Based on analyst estimates, the high estimate for the next quarter is -$0.12 and the low estimate is -$0.15. The average estimate for the next quarter is thus -$0.13.

Insiders traded FSLY stock several times over the past three months with 1 Buys and 9 Sells. In these transactions, 1 shares were bought while 529,826 shares were sold. The number of buy transactions has increased to 20 while that of sell transactions has risen to 40 over the past year.

Our innovative laser: Intracel helps reducing the problem of stretch marks depending on three Techniques of microneedling, faraction, and radiofrequency in stimulating collagen and elastin in the matrix of the dermis make the stretch marks less deep, less red, and less prominence.
· INTRACEL is an innovative, skin resurfacing technology that delivers heat energy below the surface of the skin. Traditional resurfacing lasers work by burning the surface of the skin, which means downtime and discomfort. Intracel Fractional Radio Frequency (RF) microneedles directs the RF energy just below the skin providing a comfortable, efficient treatment with minimal downtime, without causing any harm to the epidermis… and based on our quest for the best we brought our patient Intracel.
Stretch marks are an unfortunate fact of life for many people. Anytime the skin has been stretched too far or too fast – such as during puberty, pregnancy, or weight change – these unsightly lines may appear. Just because they are normal doesn't mean you have to live with them.

Home » TV & Movies » AMC Boss Adam Aron Slams Warner Bros HBO Max 2021 Theatrical Window Concept: Studio Sacrificing "Considerable" Profit
AMC Boss Adam Aron Slams Warner Bros HBO Max 2021 Theatrical Window Concept: Studio Sacrificing "Considerable" Profit
AMC Boss Adam Aron has weighed on WarnerMedia's news about debuting its entire 2021 theatrical release slate simultaneously on HBO Max and he isn't a happy camper. Wonder Woman 1984 as one-off was fine. However, the chain expects to fight hard when it comes to terms. Here's what Aron had to say:
"These coronavirus-impacted times are uncharted waters for all of us, which is why AMC signed on to an HBO Max exception to customary practices for one film only, Wonder Woman 1984, being released by Warner Brothers at Christmas when the pandemic appears that it will be at its height. However, Warner now hopes to do this for all their 2021 theatrical movies, despite the likelihood that with vaccines right around the corner the theatre business is expected to recover."
"Clearly, Warner Media intends to sacrifice a considerable portion of the profitability of its movie studio division, and that of its production partners and filmmakers, to subsidize its HBO Max start up. As for AMC, we will do all in our power to ensure that Warner does not do so at our expense. We will aggressively pursue economic terms that preserve our business."
"We have already commenced an immediate and urgent dialogue with the leadership of Warner on this subject."
"As this issue gets sorted out, we are nonetheless encouraged that vaccines protecting society at large against the coronavirus are very much at hand. So, it is our expectation that moviegoers soon will be able once again to delight in coming to our theatres without any worry — viewing the world's best movies safely in our big seats, with our big sound and on our big screens."
We heard that the major exhibitors today received an hour's heads up from Warners before the news broke. Some smaller exhibitors learned only seven minutes prior to the big HBO Max-theatrical 2021 windows news. By and large, many exhibitors are not happy and see this move by Warner Bros as doomsday. "Obviously they don't care about theatrical anymore," said one rival exhibition boss today about Warner Bros.
Warners is apparently being comfortable on terms with exhibition for Wonder Woman 1984, but theaters will fight hard on everything thereafter. If it's on a streaming service, why charge $14 a ticket to see it when you're competing against it? $1 or $5 sounds right to them.
Here's the thing: There might be hope for exhibition. As crazy and rosy colored eye-glassed as that sounds, if the pandemic quells by summer, there could conceivably be competition for screens by studios, and exhibition could entirely block simultaneous theatrical-and-streaming titles. Only time will tell. There's another mindset that believes exhibition is certain to come out of this pandemic much smaller than anticipated with even more local cinemas closing down.
Practically speaking, we should know via the first three or four titles whether the theatrical-HBO Max model works or not. If a considerable amount of money is lost, and subscribers not gained, AT&T won't be jolly. Also at risk for Warners going forward per various industry sources: Loss of filmmakers. Filmmakers want to make their movies for the big screen, not the streaming service. It's nice to cash a check from Netflix, but at the end of the day, it's also great to relish and reap a big screen wide release.
WarnerMedia CEO Jason Kilar told us today, the ambitious distribution move was in response to the pandemic in an effort to monetize the slate, respond to fans, and at the end of the day, he believes theatrical will come back.
In the meantime, we wait with bated breath as to what Disney will unload on Thursday, Dec. 10, their investor day which will serve up a ton of Disney+ news. Already we told you that big screen intended releases Cruella, Pinocchio, and Peter Pan and Wendy are headed to Disney+.
AMC's news follows Cinemark's response earlier today on the theatrical-HBO Max bombshell; the No. 3 exhibitor saying, "In light of the current operating environment, we are making near-term booking decisions on a film-by-film basis. At this time, Warner Bros. has not provided any details for the hybrid distribution model of their 2021 films."

Swimming at Pont Creek with my sister during summer last year. Beautiful, peaceful spot. The tide was in so the water went right up to the edges of the surrounding oak woodland. I hadn't swam in a river in a long time so was slightly nervous about what might be lurking beneath my feet – but once I was braver we swam along the channel and it was beautiful! A very memorable experience!


Using the best practices strategies for your blog can occur doing several distinct things. It is in your best interest to find new practices to try, and then implement them to see what happens. Anyone that is new to blogging will be at a disadvantage when they try this. If you simply take one step at a time, the learning curve will not be so difficult.
Have you ever sat down and given serious thought about what your blogging priorities are, or even your marketing and business priorities? Even though IMers understand the benefit of looking at their priorities, they choose not to do this, which is a huge mistake. If you really don't know what you're blogging priorities really are, you could be doing the wrong thing every single day. If you have a lot of comments, then you know replying to them can take a lot of time. It is considered a high-value activity and is very important to do. Publishing posts is also important as is writing content. Time management must then be implemented in order to decide which priorities need to come first. Our style is very important when we write our blog, and is part of the strategy that we will have when we post. It is important to understand this, especially if you are a newbie, and want to avoid difficulties later. If your material is controversial, some people will hate it, but others will be anxious to read what you have to say next. What will happen is you'll develop a readership that loves controversial material. Maybe you do too and that's why you do it, but the thing about this is to know what you're doing and why. Maybe a couple times a month is the best schedule for you to be on. In the end, the strategy follows should be something that is appealing to both you and your audience.
Our worst moments often inspire us to do our best, just like artists and writers who get inspiration at such times. They carry a notepad with them, and when they do so, they write things down a pop into their minds. Writing this information down can also be done on your computer as well. Then you just add topic ideas for your blog as they come to you. A notepad will work just fine if your PC is not anywhere near you. It just depends where you are. Anyone that does this is obviously serious about their business and blogging. All of us have had ideas that come into our minds that we think we will remember at a later point in time, but then it just fades. Because we have so many thoughts during the day, we rarely can remember one out of 1000. These thoughts are forgotten quickly, deep within our minds, and will probably never be recalled at a later point in time.
After you understand the best blogging practices to implement, things can get unpredictable, and it won't bother you at all. Measuring your results is one way to predict what will happen, which means you need to be tracking everything you do. That's really the only way you can determine if you're on the right track.

Europe's mobile industry would face higher costs and delays to faster networks if authorities imposed a blanket ban on Huawei equipment, particularly the radio technology deployed on mobile towers, Vodafone's Read said. This runs contrary to the approach taken by the U.S., Australia and New Zealand, who have banned even those uses for Huawei equipment.
Chinese telecommunications hardware giant Huawei said it could become the world's largest seller of smartphones in 2019, without the help of the USA market and despite growing security concerns.
Vodafone has "paused" the deployment of Huawei equipment in its core networks in Europe until Western governments resolve security concerns about the Chinese telecoms giant.
Mr Yu said the allegations against the company have had little influence on its business because Huawei's products and reputation speak for themselves.
"Our customers have trust and confidence in us", Richard Yu, Huawei's consumer division chief, said at a new-product news conference in Beijing.
Canadian envoy to China John McCallum also stated that the Huawei CFO had "quite good arguments on her side", namely the "political involvement by comments from Donald Trump in her case". Huawei is also a major supplier of equipment for less-sensitive radio-access network components on mobile masts. "We were the first to make breakthroughs in key technologies for large-scale 5G commercial use". Those efforts are now under threat in Europe, where the U.K., France, Germany, Norway and other countries have been reviewing their policies.
Carriers are reluctant to pivot away from Huawei unless they are forced to.
Executives from Nokia and Ericsson have been careful not to be seen to benefit from Huawei's pain.
Vodafone shares were trading down 5 percent at 3:50 p.m.in London, their lowest in more than a decade, after the company narrowly missed estimates for third-quarter revenue.
The shutdown centers on Democrats refusal to approve Trump's requested $5.7 billion for border security, including barriers. Jim Justice (R-W.Va.) can't believe the drama that has unfolded around the State of the Union address.
Rousey had previously stated that she wanted to begin a family soon and put it off to work in WWE. As always , the card is subject to change.
Facebook , a leading social media platform is looking to break down the barriers between its social media platforms. So far, there have been no statements from Instagram or WhatsApp surrounding the rumors.
The U.S. software giant confirmed Bing could no longer be accessed in China and that it was engaged to determine next steps. The Government also has tightened controls on use of virtual private network technology that can evade its filters.
Shortages of air traffic controllers on Friday prompted the FAA to delay flights at New York's LaGuardia and other airports. On Thursday evening, the Senate plans to vote on the three-week CR, Democratic Senator Chris Van Hollen (MD) said Thursday.

Lewis Lewyn, Harry Rapf, Walt Disney (animated sequence) for MGM
directed by Richard Boleslawski, Allan Dwan, Edmund Goulding, Russell Mack, Charles Reisner, Roy Rowland, George Stevens, Sam Wood
starring Jimmy Durante, Jack Pearl, Lupe Velez, George Givot, Eddie Quillan, June Clyde, Stan Laurel, Oliver Hardy, Polly Moran, Charles Butterworth, Richard Carle, Robert Young, Edwin Maxwell, Leonid Kinskey, Tom London, Jeanne Olsen, the Three Stooges (= Larry Fine, Moe Howard, Curly Howard), Walt Disney (voice)
story by Edgar Allan Woolf, screenplay by Howard Dietz, Arthur Kober, music by William Axt
Laurel and Hardy, Münchhausen, Mickey Mouse, Three Stooges
German and English language
Schnarzan (Jimmy Durante) is the king of the jungle - but only in the movies, in real life he's a filmstar in decline because the lions in his jungle flicks just don't look real enough. Fortunately though, lionhunter baron M�nchhausen presently pays Hollywood a visit, and he's got plenty of lions with him, so Schnarzan throws him a big party which is attended by all of Hollywood, even Mickey Mouse (who introduces a Technicolor sequence in this otherwise black and white flick) - and also by Schnarzan's fiercest rival on the jungle flick market, Liondora (George Givot).
Both Schnarzan and Liondora try to catch the attention of oilking Clemp (Charles Butterworth), the only one in Hollywood rich enough to buy the lions, and his wife (Polly Moran) - but then out of the blue Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy show up and turn out to be the actual owners of the lions, and eventually, the two of them release the animals on the party guests, and even Schnarzan has to wrestle a lion for real, when ...
Jimmy Durante wakes up, and it was all just a dream.
Lupe Velez plays a partycrasher, who eventually gets into a hilariously slowed-down food fight with Laurel and Hardy, and the Three Stooges play autograph hunters, but don't get all that much to do. Eddie Quillan and June Clyde play the obligatory romantic couple, but their story leads nowhere.
Part comedy, part revue movie, this film is mostly a mess: Despite some imaginative song-and-dance numbers (including one featuring scantily clad female telephone operators) and a (actually rather brutal) Disney-cartoon, this is without real highlights on the revue side, while on the comedy side, this has little to offer besides above-mentioned intentionally weirdly paced food fight between Lupe Velez and Laurel and Hardy. And the film's lead Jimmy Durante seems to have been caught on one of his worse days. As for a script, there is a story involved, but it leads nowhere.
Allegedly, this was intended to become something much bigger, but a constant change of directors and other studio problems seriously sabotaged the project almost from square one.
All that said, if you're into major studio pictures from the 1930's, you will doubtlessly want to see this regardless from what I may say, and since this film does have at least a few highlights, you will not be totally disappointed.

Y:ART Gallery is pleased to announce the opening of its first exhibition of 2019, featuring the work of Ken Karlic, Edmond Praybe, and Christopher Stephen Koch. The Opening Reception will be held on Saturday, February 2, 2019 from 6-9pm. This exhibit brings together three artists, each distinct in the materials used, yet linked by the somewhat loose, organic style they each utilize. These artists approach their work with the same suggestion of technique, but with completely different results. Runs Jan. 30-March 9.
