Union College Posse Scholars in 2017.
Posse Boston Celebrates 20th Anniversary
Fall 2019 | Boston
Posse Boston is proud to celebrate its 20th anniversary by looking back on Posse's impact in the greater Boston area. Over the past 20 years, the Boston community, including public high schools, nonprofit organizations, corporations and government leaders, have embraced Posse's mission by supporting Scholars and alumni.
Since launching as Posse's second site, Boston has selected 992 Scholars, including 70 STEM Scholars, from more than 21,000 nominees. Boston Scholars have been awarded $140 million in merit scholarships from Posse's partner colleges and universities.
Posse Boston has established beneficial partnerships with 40 industry-leading companies across the city. These Career Program partners provide mentorship, resume coaching, internship and full-time opportunities annually, allowing Scholars and alumni to develop as leaders in their career fields.
"We here in Boston and in Massachusetts are huge Posse fans," says Governor Baker.
Posse Boston's alumni community has grown to over 600 strong with exceptional individuals revolutionizing leadership in Boston. Dr. Adnan Prsic, Bowdoin '05, is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Surgery at Yale Medical School. After attending Harvard Medical School, Adnan received Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Training at New England's oldest residency at Brown University. He has been recognized with the Alpha Omega Alpha and The Gold Foundation Humanism in Medicine Award for his accomplishments in the medical field.
Denise Ghartney, Hamilton '12, recently graduated from Harvard Law School. During her time at Harvard, Denise was elected President of the Harvard Legal Aid Bureau where she concentrated on increasing engagement between Harvard, Cambridge and the greater Boston area through community partnerships and political lawyering. Following her graduation, Denise was awarded a national fellowship with the Community Justice Project allowing her to work as a lawyer in a firm focused on housing immigration, systemic justice and undocumented worker rights in Miami, Florida. Posse Boston will continue to have a presence at Harvard Law School in the fall as Zoe Russell, Bucknell '17, begins her first year.
Many of Boston's local officials, such as Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker, have backed and recognized the power of Posse and the leadership Posse Scholars and alumni bring to the city and state.
"The capacity that you bring to find the truly best among us and give them a chance to form their own posse and succeed when they go to college is really a brilliant idea, brilliantly executed over a long period of time," says Governor Baker. "We here in Boston and in Massachusetts are huge Posse fans."
To commemorate this milestone anniversary, Posse Boston hosted a special Power of 10 celebration earlier this month. This year's event was hosted by a Boston CEO committee led by Ron O'Hanley from State Street, Bob Reynolds from Putnam Investment Group and Guang Yang from BrightSphere Investment Group. We are proud to see Boston's current leaders so eager to recognize the contributions of Posse Scholars and their potential as the future leaders of the city.

The Gordon Murray T.50 Is Deemed An Analogue Supercar
By Mohlale Raphadu August 8, 2020
Cars are getting bigger, more technical, overly complicated and that's the same case with supercars that are coming out nowadays, they are brilliant but one cannot fathom how close they provide the same driving experience. Gordon Murray has found that to be a problem and decided to make what is known as an "analogue supercar" by means of following the simplicity path of designing a driver-focused supercar. It is called the T.50 and it is light, powerful and aero purposeful.
If you don't know Gordon Murray, he is responsible for the development of the McLaren F1 and he has 50 years of experience in automotive design, including in Formula One Racing. The McLaren F1 is famous for holding the record of the fastest production car for a near 13 years before being dethroned but it still remains the fastest naturally aspirated production car in the world to this day. By just looking at the T.50, you can tell that the design is heavily inspired by the McLaren F1 as it is deemed the "spiritual successor". The Gordon Murray Design company was founded in 2017 and the development of the T.50 began in 2019 and it's only recently on the 4th of August 2020 whereby the car was unveiled to the public. The highlights of this car are the engine and the aerodynamics which take it to a whole new level of engineering possibilities.
Gordon Murray turned to Cosworth and asked them to make a powerful engine for the T.50. They did just that but with specs that you would expect him to prefer and because he is the Father of the McLaren F1, he wanted it to be a high-revving naturally aspirated V12 engine with the displacement set at 3.9-litre and in addition, it has an integrated 48-Volt starter generator to fill in power gaps. The total power output is 650 hp (484 kW) and 450 Nm of torque. The enticing part about this engine is that it can rev up to 12 100 rpm and the manner in how fast it can reach that rev limit which is 0.3 seconds from idle, that's incredibly insane.
The power will be shifted on a 6-speed manual transmission, that's right, a manual gearbox still exists in 2020 and this is one of the few modern supercars with manual transmission and you'll be happy to shift the H-pattern gear knob while sitting on the central interior seat just like in the McLaren F1. The transmission was designed in conjunction with Xtrac and is said to have ditched a flywheel which sounds a bit uncanny but there is a good reason for that because this means that less fuel will be required to spin the flywheel and this cancellation contributes to weight reduction which is basically the whole idea of this supercar.
The major component that contributes to the aerodynamics of the T.50 is the 400 mm fan that acts as a vacuum to suck the car onto the ground, improving underbody airflow which in simple terms improves downforce. The idea is taken from Gordon Murray's oldest creation in Formula One, the Brabham BT46B F1 car which had a fan on the back and skirts on the side to seal the underbody but the T.50 doesn't need side skirts as technological advancements allow it to achieve the same principle of downforce while maintaining a clean look. There are two flaps that act as active wings to generate downforce and are also used as air brakes.
The body is made mostly out of carbon fibre with elements of aluminium used here and there to keep the weight of the car as low as possible and that meant also using a carbon monocoque. That is an absolute advantage because the power-to-weight ratio sits at 663 hp per ton and to put that into perspective, that is more than a Bugatti Veyron Super Sport or a Ferrari LaFerrari. The weight of the car is crucial and making that a priority reaps excellent performance. They installed carbon-ceramic brakes and something the McLaren F1 did not have, ABS (anti-lock braking system).
Gordon Murray has stated that the T.50 is meant to be the best engineered car on the planet and it's expected to offer the best possible driving experience. He also added that he doesn't care about the 0-100 figures because he knows that it will be blindly fast, however, he was keen to share the theoretical top speed of 365 km/h which is what you need these days to call that car a supercar or even a hypercar.
Looking at the specs and the hype it has received on the internet, there is no doubt that this will be the best car humanity has received in a very long time. Only 100 units are expected to be built and deliveries will proceed from early 2022 with a price tag of £2 million (R46 Million). Question is, will any of the units come to SA? Since Gordon Murray was born in South Africa, it could be a possibility of such a thing happening but I cannot predict that guess on such a basis. The car's engine is currently undergoing final testing and will be ready in time for the test mule runs that will happen in September 2020 all the way till March 2021.

Mass extinctions of animals that live on Earth occur in a cycle of 27 million years
Posted By: Marsh Tyler
A new study reveals that mass extinctions of animals that live on Earth, including amphibians, reptiles, mammals and birds, occur once every 27 million years.
US researchers conducted statistical analysis of the dates of 10 known mass extinction events that wiped out any tetrapods – animals with four limbs.
They discovered a basic "statistically significant" mass extinction frequency somewhere in the region of 27.5 million years.
These mass extinctions are consistent with large asteroid impacts and a destructive eruption of lava, known as a basalt flood eruption.
The researchers suggest that the Earth's orbit in the Milky Way may be dictated by them, leading to showers of comets that have the potential to wipe out all life on our planet.
The last mass extinction reported by researchers occurred 7.25 million years ago, suggesting that we did not wait for another event about 20 million years ago.
About 66 million years ago, a giant asteroid hit what is now the Mexican Yucatan Peninsula, causing the sudden extinction of more than 75 percent of the plant and animal species on Earth.
10 EXTINCTION episodes of a non-marine quartet
Torton Meissen (7.25 million years ago)
Eocin-oligocin (33.9 million years ago)
The end of the Cretaceous period (K / T Extinction event, 66 million years ago)
The end of the Jurassic period (145.7 million years ago)
The end of the Rhaetian (201.3 million years ago)
Mid Norian (215 million years ago)
The end of the Carnian (228.5 million years ago)
The end of the Permian (The Great Death, 251.9 million years ago)
The end of Guadalupian (259.8 million years ago)
The end of the scamarian (290.1 million years ago)
" It appears that the effects of the large body and the pulses of internal activity of the Earth that create volcanic activity in the basalt flood may proceed to the same beating of the drums of 27 million years as the extinctions, and may be driven by our orbit in the galaxy, " the study author said. Professor Michael Rampino at New York University.
These new findings regarding a simultaneous sudden mass extinction on land and oceans, and a combined cycle spanning from 26 to 27 million years, lend credence to the notion of periodic global catastrophic events as catalysts for the extinctions.
READ The Earth's rotation is getting faster - should we be worried?
In fact, three genocides of species on land and at sea are already known to have occurred at the same times as the three largest impacts during the last 250 million years, each of which is capable of causing a global catastrophe and resulting in mass extinctions.
Professor Rampino said the last vertebrate extinction event, albeit "relatively young", was 7.25 million years ago, so the next event "could be about 20 million years in the future."
250 million years ago, the Permian-Triassic extinction event, also known as the "Great Death", wiped out 95 percent of marine species and 70 percent of land species at that time.
British researchers recently concluded that the Great Death was caused by a massive volcanic eruption in Siberia, which released massive amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
When carbon dioxide dissolves in the oceans, it becomes very acidic and the level of oxygen in the water drops, which kills marine life.
Perhaps the most famous mass extinction occurred 66 million years ago, when 70% of all species became extinct on land and in the seas, including dinosaurs.
Pictured is an artist drawing to fight Tyrannosaurus Rex and the terrible Triceratops. The dinosaurs were wiped out due to the mass extinction around 66 million years ago
This event, now known as the K / T extinction event, was caused by the collision of a large asteroid or comet with Earth.
A scientist talked to him Smithsonian Magazine Debris from the asteroid said, "turned the air into an oven and caused wildfires around the world," devastating the environment.
Paleontologists have already known mass extinctions of marine life, in which up to 90 percent of species have disappeared – not random events, but appear to come in a cycle of 26 million years.
Their attention turned to Earth, and New York University researchers examined the record of mass extinctions of fauna living on Earth.
They also conducted new statistical analyzes of wild species extinctions and showed that those events followed a similar cycle of about 27.5 million years, which indicates that they are in line with marine extinctions.

Periodic comet showers could occur in the solar system every 26 to 30 million years, resulting in cyclical effects and resulting in periodic mass extinctions.
The eras of craters resulting from colliding asteroids and comets with the Earth's surface follow a cycle.
Astrophysicists assume that periodic comet showers occur in the solar system every 26 to 30 million years, resulting in cyclical effects and resulting in periodic mass extinctions.
The Sun and the planets rotate through the mid-plane of the Milky Way approximately every 30 million years.
"There are two potential effects," Professor Rampino told MailOnline.
Natural matter and dark matter concentrated in the plane has the effect of gravity on the loose comets in the Oort Cloud that surround the solar system, causing comet showers and potential impacts on Earth.
Another effect is that some of the dark matter can be picked up by the Earth, where it becomes concentrated enough to annihilate itself, causing a heat pulse inside the Earth's core, leading to volcanic activity.
Comet showers can have major impacts on Earth, creating conditions that wipe out and possibly kill wild and marine life, including darkness and hail, forest fires, acid rain and depletion of the ozone layer.
Meanwhile, volcanic eruptions will blanket vast areas with lava and create harsh conditions for life, including short periods of extreme cold, destruction of the ozone layer and increased exposure to radiation, as well as acid rain.
Researchers report that eight of ten Earth extinction events coincide with known marine extinction events.
All eight simultaneous mass deaths on land and in the oceans matched the times of basaltic volcanic eruptions.
Professor Rampino said: "It appears that the global mass extinctions were caused by the most catastrophic impacts and supervolcanoes, and may at times be operating collectively."
In the long term, volcanic eruptions could lead to a deadly greenhouse temperature, more acids and less oxygen in the ocean, according to the authors who published their study in the journal. Historical biology.
Another expert has already warned that humanity today is a mass extinction event as early as 2100 due to global warming.
READ This galaxy hosted a large supernova, and it guaranteed appears odd – BGR
Professor Daniel Rothman of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has devised a simple mathematical equation to predict when the next mass extinction will occur.
The formula found that by the end of the century the oceans will contain enough carbon to trigger a future genocide of species.
By 2100, about 310 gigatons of carbon will be added to the oceans – a potential "tipping point" for an environmental disaster, according to a 2017 study in Science advances.
Sir David Attenborough has already warned that people born today may see the end of the polar bear by 2030, another major pandemic in the 1980s and a "global human crisis" at the start of the twenty-second century.
Five large firefighting events
Five times, the majority of the world's life has been wiped out in so-called mass extinctions, often associated with giant meteorite strikes.
Mass Extinction End of the Ordovician
The first of the classic five major extinctions, about 440 million years ago, was perhaps the second most dangerous of the extinction events. Almost all life was in the sea at that time, and about 85% of these species have disappeared.
The late Devonian mass extinction
About 375-359 million years ago, major environmental changes caused prolonged extinctions that wiped out major fish populations and halted new coral formation for 100 million years.
Mass extinction at the end of the Permian period (the Great Death)
The largest extinction event that greatly affected the Earth's environment occurred 252 million years ago. As many as 97% of species that left a fossil record are gone forever.
Mass extinction at the end of the Triassic period
Dinosaurs first appeared in the early Triassic period, but large amphibians and mammal-like reptiles were the dominant land animals. The rapid mass extinction 201 million years ago is otherwise.
Mass extinction end of the Cretaceous period
An asteroid fell to Earth 65 million years ago, and it is often blamed for ending the reign of the dinosaurs.

West Texas Groundwater Districts Scramble To Keep Up With Industry
By Carlos Morales
Published August 21, 2017 at 4:04 PM CDT
At a meeting in Van Horn, the Culberson County Groundwater Conservation District grapples with unexpectedly thorny water allocation issues.
When rules for managing water were created in the '90s, no one expected brackish water to be a hot commodity.
In a nondescript building on Van Horn's sleepy main drag, the main event is a meeting of the Culberson County Groundwater Conservation District, the local water regulatory board. Full disclosure, it's not usually this packed. But this gathering, held earlier this month, brought out ranchers, farmers and environmentalists.
On the agenda is water export. oil man and ranch owner Dan Allen Hughes, Jr. He wants permission from the board to pump5.4 million gallons of brackish water a dayout from under his property. For perspective, that much water could fill more than eight Olympic-sized swimming pools.
Dozens of area residents explain why they're against issuing Hughes an export permit.
"Nobody in this room can live without water," says water activist, Neta Rhyne. "We all have to have water. So does our cattle, our trees, our crops."
Hughes' dream is to pipe this water 60 miles northeast of where Rhyne is standing, to oil fields in the Permian Basin, where brackish water is in high demand for fracking. And here's where it gets tricky. Public opinion aside, when the Culberson County Groundwater Conservation District was set up in the '90s, it didn't see any reason to regulate the salty aquifer under Hughes' land.
"Hindsight being 20-20, right or wrong, [the Culberson County Groundwater Conservation District] was formed mostly for the protection of the aquifers that were being used," says Summer Webb, the general manager of the district.
"Nobody really thought about brackish water being important back in the day. I mean, who would have thought that a pipeline would go 60 miles for brackish water."
She says the first brackish water export application it ever received came just six months ago, and she's expecting more.
Demand for brackish water is growing across west Texas. Water use in fracking operations has reportedlyrisen six-fold in the Permian Basin since 2011. And energy research firm IHS Markit predicts that demand will double again by the end of this year.
Webb says that the bottom-up approach of local groundwater districts is meant to give communities the power to regulate their own local aquifers. But the way that autonomy's set up has its own challenges.
Amy Hardberger is an associate dean at St. Mary's University School of Law, and most of her work centers around Texas water.
"The legislature wanted to make sure that the regulations matched the particular science and needs of the area," she says. The problem with that is it means everybody's – in some ways – reinventing the wheel. Or at least inventing it for their own particular car."
Hardberger says many groundwater districts, like Culberson County, are learning as they go. Especially when faced with oil and gas industry interest for the first time. It's a big job.
"Most of them have very, very small budgets," says Hardberger. "They often have elected boards that may or may not know that much about the science of the stuff that's going on, or the law – both of which is quite complicated."
Back at the meeting in Van Horn, the lawyer for the district, Renea Hicks, can't find any legal reason to deny Dan Allen Hughes, Jr.'s water export permit. He tells the board that while they've expressed many of the same concerns voiced by the public, "unfortunately, the legislature has tied your hands in some significant ways."
Hughes plans to start selling water to Permian Basin energy companies by the second quarter of next year. Approximately 20 oil and gas companies have already expressed interest in buying it.
But exporting from Culberson County may not hold for long. Webb, the conservation district's general manager, says she's looking at updating its rules to catch up with demand for brackish water.
"I think a lot of groundwater districts are going to have to really consider their rules — or lack of rules — for brackish water," she says.
Webb says she expects a lot of groundwater districts will be very busy over the next year.

Pittsburgh's 25th Anniversary of First VAD Patient to Be Discharged from a Hospital
Twenty-five years ago a historic medical event occurred in Pittsburgh. In 1990, Brian Williams, a teenager from Georgia, was the first ventricular assist device (VAD) patient to be discharged from the hospital with formal approval from the Food and Drug Administration. Mr. Williams was discharged from the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center's Presbyterian Hospital to a local Family House, where he lived with his parents while waiting for a heart transplant. As amplified below, substantial progress has been made in the size and reliability of VAD systems since 1990 through collaborative efforts between McGowan faculty and device manufacturers. Over the years, Mr. Williams has told his incredible story to audiences of bioengineers, including students and faculty nationwide. He also has experienced much happiness in his life. He has completed his undergraduate and graduate education, is married to Jenny, and has a son, Jacob.

New Machine-Perfusion Organ Preservation System Keeps Livers Healthier for Transplant
A new preservation system has been developed that pumps cooled, oxygen-rich fluid into donor livers not only keeps the organs in excellent condition for as long as 9 hours before transplantation, but also leads to dramatically better liver function. This system offers the potential to increase the survival of liver transplant recipients, according to a series of preclinical studies by researchers at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, UPMC, and the McGowan Institute for Regenerative Medicine. The system could be tested with transplant patients at UPMC later this year.

Even though it's technically spring, winter is far from over up on the slopes here in Niseko!
Even though it's technically spring, winter is far from over up on the slopes here in Niseko! Take a look at some of the awesome turns shot by local photographer Glen Claydon from his run on March 31, 2017; a short, wicked video showing off some of the snowfall that we got at the end of the month to give you a smile.
While the weather is starting to warm up down in the towns and valleys, the slopes across Niseko United are still in great shape and skiers and boarders will be able to take advantage of the spring conditions until May 7, 2017. Warmer weather, great visibility, and plenty of good times to be had? Sounds like spring skiing in Niseko to us!

Q: when i'm going to start my AVD i get the following Screen from Android studio, To overcome this issue what i gonna do? Cannot Launch AVD in emulator.
Output:
Emulater: Error:x86 emulation currently requires hardware acceleration!
Please ensure Intel HAXM is properly installed and usable.
CPU acceleration Status: HAX kernel module is not installed!

A: *I will answer step by step:
Firstly, Can not launch AVD in emulator
There are three ways in which Emulator can be launched
 1) by using ARM armeabi-v7 (An ARM processor having version 7 based on RISC (reduced instruction set computer) used for smartphones)
 2) by using Intel Atom x86 and x86_64(An Intel CPU which is use hardware acceleration of android emulation)
 3) by using MIPS(another form of embedded processor not so popular)
Though it is recommended to use ARM armeabi_v7 as it is easy and maintainable with faster response

Now, in your case you are trying to use hardware acceleration for emulator(system image) so you can follow these steps:*

Downloading Intel® HAXM

Overview
Intel HAXM can be installed either through the Android* SDK Manager (recommended), or manually, by downloading the installer from Intel's website.
Note: Intel HAXM does not currently check for updates automatically. To get the latest version, download the Intel HAXM package using the Android* SDK Manager (recommended) or from the Intel® Developer Zone Android* developer site.
Downloading Manually
Go to http://software.intel.com/en-us/android.
Choose the Intel HAXM installer package for your platform.
Extract the installer and follow installation instructions for your platform.
Downloading through Android* SDK Manager
Start the Android* SDK Manager.
Under Extras, check the box next to Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator (HAXM).
Click the "Install package…" button.
Review the Intel Corporation license agreement. If you accept the terms, select Accept and click Install.
The SDK Manager will download the installer to the "extras" directory, under the main SDK directory. Even though the SDK manager says "Installed" it actually means that the Intel HAXM executable was downloaded. You will still need to run the installer from the "extras" directory to finish installation.
Run the installer inside the /sdk/extras/intel/Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager/ directory and follow the installation instructions for your platform.
Installing Intel® HAXM on Mac OS X*
Warning: Intel® Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager (Intel® HAXM) installation will fail if your system does not meet the system requirements, including support for Intel® processor features, such as Intel® Virtualization Technology (Intel® VT).
Download the installer package from http://software.intel.com/en-us/android or using the SDK Manager.
Open the DMG file, then run the installer contained inside.
If an older version Intel HAXM is already installed, you will see a notification dialog:
Click "OK" to dismiss the dialog. Then you can either exit the installer, to keep your current version of Intel HAXM, or continue with installation and upgrade Intel HAXM.
You will see a welcome screen:
Click "Continue"
You will be prompted to adjust the amount of RAM that will be allocated to Intel HAXM.
Note: The installer also functions as a configuration tool for Intel HAXM. To change memory settings, run the installer again.
The next screen confirms your Intel HAXM memory allocation settings:
Select the drive where Intel HAXM will be installed, then click Continue.
Once Intel HAXM is installed, click Close to exit the installer.

A: You can use armebai instead of x86.
It is recommended especially for such case.

A: First check your System Have Intel Virtualization is enable. If not use BootMenu and changed it.
Second Open your Android Studio and check for path of currently ussing SDK.
Goto the that path..
in location
/sdk/tools run 'android' batch file. Its simply start your sdk and install HAXM that is Intel Hardware Accelaration Manager.
If its done or alredy install then
Goto..
/sdk/extras/intel/HAXM
and install HAXM installer file.
After successfully running restart your ADB again !

Where have the non-franchise blockbusters gone? To Netflix and Amazon, of course
Recently it has become fashionable for acclaimed A-list directors to express their dislike for superhero movies. The highest profile was Ridley Scott, who said, among other things, "his scripts aren't any f*****g good". Others who have targeted the most lucrative genre of cinema include The Piano's Jane Campion ("I really hate them") and Martin Scorsese ("It's about trying to convey an emotional, psychological experience to another human being). Humans don't have cinema")
All three filmmakers have catalogs and reputations strong enough to make people sit up and take notice, but criticizing an entire genre feels a little underwhelming. Sure, there are some downright terrifying superhero movies out there, but plenty of Marvel and DC movies have also received widespread acclaim — Black Panther even took home a Best Picture nomination at the Oscars.
So the problem with superhero movies isn't their quality, as much as they — as with other major franchises like Star Wars and Fast & Furious — tend to starve box office oxygen of everything.
Or, as Dunne and MCU star Stellan Skarsgard put it bluntly in an interview with the Guardian: "There's no distribution channel for all mid-budget movies that have the best actors, the best writing because they don't throw away $3 million." Maybe a marketing campaign. When theaters let them in, they do it for a week and if it doesn't pay off in a week, they leave."
Skarsgard was referring to the kind of quality dramas that are traditionally referred to in conversations about awards, but the rise of superheroes has resulted in another casualty, which can be seen by those discussing cinema as an art form. You don't actually see many non-franchise action movies on the big screen anymore.
These are the best HBO Max movies to watch right now
How to Watch Marvel Movies in Order
Charlize Theron leads The Old Guard, a film that might have been titled by Bruce Willis or Arnold Schwarzenegger in the '90s.
Back in the '90s and early '00s, when theater lobbies were littered with posters and standees of movies about people – and then it was always people – with a propensity for firing lots of weapons and/or Perform impossible stunts. And a lot of times, these characters were doing the impossible. Without A superpower in his locker.
In that era of star power and extraordinarily high concepts, a lack of brand recognition was rarely a problem. Want to see Sylvester as a rock climber in the Rocky Mountains? Here is the cliffhanger. Like him as a crazy modern cop who's cryogenically frozen and resurfaced in a utopian future that needs his unique skills to take down Wesley Snipes' violent criminal? Then Demolition Man has you covered. Harrison Ford plays a remarkable all-action U.S. president in Air Force One, Keanu Reeves finds a bomb on a bus in Speed, and even the surprisingly silly Nicolas Cage becomes an actual action hero. Got a chance In fact, there are few stars who have had The Rock (disgruntled soldiers take over Alcatraz), Con Air (disgruntled prisoners capture a plane) and Face/Off (disgruntled criminal swaps face with his FBI agent Nemesis). ) were influential. ,
While these movies were undeniably blockbusters, they couldn't compete with effects-driven tentpoles like Jurassic Park, Independence Day or Pirates of the Caribbean. They were rarely adaptations or continuations of existing franchises, and were based on teenagers and adults rather than family audiences. Of course, they were more likely to upset the Golden Raspberry than the Oscars, but they were also incredibly popular and successful. Looking back, it's odd that they're now an endangered species at the box office, to be filed with a rom-com.
Streaming saves the day
Chris Hemsworth swaps his magic hammer for a machine gun in Extraction on Netflix.
But it turns out that the mid-level action never really went away – it just got migrated somewhere new. Take a tour through the menu screens of Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, and you'll see streaming services taking a punt on original films that, at the turn of the 21st century, would have been top of the bill at multiplexes. And they're not skimping on A-list talent, either, most of them headlined by Hollywood stars and directors—when Michael Bay, a director who's spent his entire career in widescreen slow motion conditions, can make Go streaming (ie the Ryan Reynolds-starring 6 Underground), it's clear that the rules of engagement have changed drastically.
These days we see Charlize Theron as a cynical immortal warrior in The Old Guard—a role that, 20 years ago, would certainly have been played on the big screen by Bruce Willis or Arnold Schwarzenegger—or Will Smith in his suicide The squad reunites with director, David Ayer, for human/orc cop drama Bright. Ironically, the stars of superhero movies are also in high-demand with streamers, taking non-franchise muscles away from the big screen — Netflix's Red Notice, the streamer's most popular original film of all time, follows Wonder Woman. Beach managed to instigate a team-up. (Gal Gadot), Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds) and Dwayne Johnson (soon to be Black Adam). Meanwhile, MCU vets Anthony Mackie, Michael B. Jordan and Chris Hemsworth headlined Outside the Wire, Tom Clancy's Without Remorse and Extraction, respectively.
While Chris 'Star-Lord' Pratt's alien-invasion vehicle The Tomorrow War was originally scheduled for a theatrical release, it was eventually sealed in a big money deal by Amazon Prime Video. In these circumstances, it is logical to ask whether streamers are hogging films that might otherwise thrive on the big screen. But, even outside of a pandemic, it's hard to see how even a film of the epic scale of The Tomorrow War can compete in a market dominated by familiar blockbuster brands. Indeed, unless it's directed by Christopher Nolan—which is essentially a franchise in its own right—the chances of an original blockbuster troubling the upper reaches of the box office are slim.
So it becomes a question, had Netflix and Amazon not entered the market, would movies be made in the first place? Chances are they will be, but nowhere near the level of star power or production budget that we see now.
This is a gap in the market that streamers make sense to fill. He has done prestige, award-friendly work: with the likes of Netflix's Roma, Mank, Marriage Story, Ma Rainey's Black Bottom and Scorsese's own The Irishman; Amazon with One Night in Miami, Sound of Metal and Manchester by the Sea. But a large number of viewers are looking for something that goes a little better with popcorn, not necessarily involving superheroes or lightsabers.
This new generation of direct-to-streaming blockbusters probably won't challenge your brain or exaggerate the human condition—let's face it, there's a high chance that many are going to go bad, which is always part of the equation when You gamble on humans doing unimaginable things while fending off a succession of one-liners.
But if you've been searching Netflix or Amazon late on a Friday night, it's comforting to know they're out there, waiting to be found. If there's any chance you might stumble upon another movie as thoroughly entertaining as The Rock, we're all going to be better.

One of the youngest mayors in the history of the entire Southwest was the mayor of Caddo, Indian Territory, in 1889- Charles Elmo McPherren who the year previous to his election as mayor, had been a sergeant in the First United States Volunteer Cavalry, which was appropriately called the "Roosevelt Rough Riders". When the United States entered the World War, Charles Elmo McPherren joined the Second Regiment of the Oklahoma National Guard, attaining the rank of major in 1918, lieutenant-colonel in 1919, and colonel in 1920. From 1921 to the present time he has been brigadier-general in the Reserve Forces of the United States, and is a graduate of the Army War College.
General McPherren was born in Pleasant Grove, Mississippi, in 1875, and is the son of Andrew M. and Fannie E. McPherren. His father, a farmer, served in the War of the Rebellion from 1862 to 1865 in the Ninth Iowa Cavalry.
Following his attendance at Franklin College, Pilot Point, Texas, and the University of Mississippi at Oxford, Mississippi, General McPherren entered the legal profession in 1896, practicing in Caddo, Indian Territory until 1907; from 1907 to 1924 in Durant, Oklahoma, and since 1924 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma where he maintains offices at No. 1018 Braniff Building. He has been active in Democratic party politics and from 1921 to 1925 represented the Twentieth District in the Oklahoma State Senate. He is a member of Alpha Sigma Phi, the Oklahoma Club of Oklahoma City, and the Protestant Episcopal church.
April 3, 1923 General McPherren and Margaret Johnson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Johnson, were married in Oklahoma City. Mrs. McPherren is a member of the Methodist Episcopal church, and the Alpha Phi Sorority. Their children are: 1. Charles Johnson, born February 17, 1924, 2. Margaret Jane, born July 21, 1925, and 3. John Martin, born December 23, 1926. The family residence is at No. 1220 West Twentieth Street, Oklahoma City.


South Carolina Trusts are one of the most useful and integral estate planning vehicles employed by our Charleston estate planning attorneys. A trust is a recognized legal fiduciary relationship in which one person holds the legal title to ownership on the behalf of another. The person who creates the trust is known as the settlor, trustor, or grantor whereas the person who holds legal title to the property or asset is known as the trustee. The person who holds the equitable or beneficial title to property is known as the beneficiary. The trust property is known as the res, corpus, or principal.
Understanding which assets to incorporate into a trust agreement requires an understanding of which assets can and cannot form the trust corpus as well as an evaluation of the direct effects to estate property and taxes.
Our Charleston estate planning attorneys frequently utilize a variety of trusts for individuals, professionals and families in their estate planning. Generally, a trust is created to transfer or protect property and assets during a person's lifetime through a declaration of trust, through a testamentary transfer in trust, or through a promise in trust by the exercise of a power appointment.
A living trust instrument, such as a revocable trust, will contain specific terms and agreements of the trust for estate planning purposes. A living trust, unlike a testamentary trust, may be altered and amended during the lifetime of the grantor and remains a fluid, living legal document. A testamentary trust on the other hand is typically created as part of a grantor's Last Will & Testament. The execution of the will or simple will that embodies the trust must meet all South Carolina statutory requirements for a legally valid execution of a will.
It is also important to note that a trust does not have to be established through physical transfer of assets. Instead, a trust may be created by a written declaration of the owner of nonphysical property or assets, such as an insurance trust or spousal agreement trust. Trusts still require a specific identification of the beneficiary, assets, and conditions of execution in any case. In many instances, the terms of the trust are not contained in the will itself. In a "pour over" arrangement, a testamentary disposition of property is given to a living trust.
There are three important requirements to create a valid trust: (1) an expression of intent that the property be held, at least in part, for the benefit of someone other than the grantor; (2) at least one beneficiary for whom the property is to be administered by the trustee; and (3) an interest in property that is ascertainable and is to be held for the benefit of the beneficiary.
In sum, a South Carolina trust is often used to reduce estate taxes and to shield the transfer of property and assets from being part of a public record as an estate goes through the probate process. Each trust is created to address certain circumstances and our estate planning attorneys will advise clients to determine the most appropriate trust to be created for their individual or family estate planning objectives. Please contact our law firm for more information regarding trusts, wills and estates.
Our Charleston corporate lawyers provide legal counsel to businesses, professionals and entrepreneurs throughout South Carolina in the areas of business transactions, business acquisitions, commercial litigation, trademarks, estate planning and real estate. We invite you to contact one of our corporate lawyers and schedule an appointment to discuss your legal matter. Our law firm attorneys will meet with you over a conference call or in-person at our law offices located in Mt. Pleasant.

BARCLAYS has completed its move to a new Midlands headquarters in the landmark Snow Hill development in central Birmingham.
The move follows the announcement last year that Barclays had acquired over 98,000 sq ft of new office space from Ballymore, the international property development company, who were then the site's owners.
The switch has brought together 1,000 sales and operations colleagues from Barclays Corporate Midlands division, which had previously been located across the greater Birmingham area.
A 15-year lease has been agreed on the office space, which forms part of the one million sq ft mixed-use scheme, which is set to become one of the largest redevelopment schemes in Birmingham.


Friendships are like wildflowers, which I much prefer to the hothouse floral arrangements you can get from any store. Obliging fields surrender the most sincere offerings, complete with flaws and unique in beauty.
This last month I have asked friends to give me 5 words. Any 5 words to challenge my imagination and discipline me to write in the time that beta readers are reviewing my book. I have a writing schedule, and I write at least three hours a day. With this challenge, the writing became public - in my blog.
I loved this challenge! Not only did it let me create and play with words, it reminded me what incredible and unique friends I have.
As you can tell, if you've read any stories, the friend who has given me the words is a huge part of the influence. My friends are beautiful, deep, have weathered many storms and are (for the most part) happy… despite the trials that life gives them.
If you've missed any of the stories, I have linked them here to the friend who gave me the 5 words for inspiration. My next seven blogs are from my grandchildren (including my unborn granddaughter) and my daughter-in-law.
After those, I pack up for South Africa to cheer Hennie Keyter on in Johannesburg as he launches his memoir "His Call, MyAll" (I helped him compile this and I am excited to be part of the launch) on the 23rd of February at Cornerstone Church.
Thank you to all of my beautiful friends who are named here. Please shout if I have missed you and I'll get your story done before I wave goodbye mid-February.
· Elmay Oberholzer, a beautiful friend from Johannesburg was the first. She is a girl who has a spirit that desires to see the whole world – and she is lovely! Her words: "...as I stepped onboard I..." inspired "ghosts" – a story of a girl who is haunted by loss and abandonment.
· Frank Stephens is a super-literate friend of mine who is politically astute and a world-class apologist. I look up to him spiritually. His amusing words: "bald, glasses, turbulent, muffins, dog" inspired the work "turbulent" – a story of a man who has a fear of flying.
· Michael Roome, a boy I once knew is now a man who will one day be a United Nations delegate. He is sharp and wonderfully humble…. His words: "She glanced in horror as..." inspired "horror" – a tale of two vegan individualists having a fight about a conventional sweater that makes its way into their world.
· Kelly Simon Cooper is a new friend from Sacramento. A fellow writer and teacher, she is nearly finished with a masters program (yea!) and still finds time to read my stories!! "Verdant, Astronomy, gargling, wicked, infrastructure, and her super-challenge " cornobbled" inspired "fisherman" – a tale of a learned man who takes a job on an ocean trawler to prove he can be a man among men.
· Lisa Haynes, a beautiful mother of two, is a South African rose transplanted into the harsh wildlands of Redding, California. Her words: "this time, it was different" inspired "topoisomerase" – a story of a young couple whose lives change once they discover their daughter has autism.
· Marc Peffer is one of our longest-heart-held friendships. His brotherhood has been a gift from God and we are joined closely with his family forever. His words were " By grace we are healed" and inspired "unjani" – a story set in a South African township. A man, who loses his eight year old son, struggles with his faith and marriage in the aftermath.
· Sue Conner, a fellow teacher who worked alongside of me in the Christian school I once worked, gave me the words "She dared to open the ...." which inspired "letter" – a tale of how the seed of gossip is sown in a small town, only to destroy the peace of a family unnecessarily.
· Connie Eaton Rogers, a spiritual mentor of mine, lives in Tempe Arizona now. She is a delight to me and loves justice! She gave me " fractured, sanctified, Valedictorian, frenetic, sovereign" which inspired a story so complicated that I could not dilute its title down to one word: "Jin Campaigns Against the SongDynasty" – a teenage girl's account of the ongoing war between her parents and the way it's affected her life.
· Vince Rodriguez, my beloved son, gave me the words "Vikings, samurai, space travel, bacon" I cried while writing this story: "vikings" – a mother's perspective on her adult son and how he has become a man every bit as wild as she saw him being as a boy.
· Debra Ann Young, a delightful friend and animal activist from New York City gave me the words "children, restaurant, beach, love, bankrupt" and it fell on Martin Luther King Jr's birthday! Such perfect words to punctuate "martin", a tribute to this great man.
· Susan Purdy, a beautiful friend who is also a new mother gave me "garden, community, secret, violence, healing" – perfect words for her, a true community activist who champions gardens that are shared in neighborhoods! The story "garden" is one of hope: Vietnamese immigrants change a patch of derelict land into a true blessing for their community that brings the whole neighborhood together.
· Christine Crom McGuire, one of the prettiest girls I have ever seen up-close, gave me the words: "Blessing, love, extraordinary, grateful, heartbroken" and inspired the story "agnes" an historical account of a Catholic girl who lived her faith out loud.
· Lynette Devenish, one of my beautiful, faith-filled friends, gave me the words: "pumpkin, unchanging, waves, clouds, storms" to inspire the story "restoration" – a tale of an art restorer that needs restoration herself - from God! The story meant a lot to me, as it came during a time we were in heavy prayer for Garth, Lynette's husband, who has cancer.
· RobandBridget Forbes, a couple of immense value in our hearts gave me the words: "Cheese, vw beetle, favourite, wine, ger" to inspire heroes. This story is a reflection of who the Forbes are to us – having lived in Mongolia for fifteen years – and also championing the beauty and wildness of the ger (the Mongoliam round house) and Genghis – a hero to all Mongolians.
· Mike Rivera, a genius and brother in the faith, gave me "Searches, Finds, Loves, Loses, Reunited" the day that my beloved Uncle Walt died. In his honor I wrote "Uncle Walt" and cried as I did.
· Lara Ashley Fowler, a beautiful girl and former student gave me: " Ballroom, pink, sock, princess, and SHANK!!" Honestly, Lara!! I wrote a story about the random pop-ups in family: wife. This takes place at a funeral when the unwelcome wife of an estranged brother shows up.
· Bridget Shank, another one of my mentors and a very special woman gave me: "Change, contemplation, choice, intimidating, spring" inspired "change" – a story of a young lady and her niece at the park who have a chance encounter with an old lady that influences their lives.
· Danny Lake, a former football coach and all-around man of God gave me the words: "Danny, manly, awesome,wonderful, available" then quickly added hahaha. I actually warned him: "Obviously, you have never read my short stories, Danny Lake! You may regret you gave me those 5 words. ..." He didn't. It gave me "manly" a story of a rough and ready biker who meets a man who lives by his word, on generosity and for his family.
· Francois Marais, our beloved personal trainer and incredible seeker of truth, gave me "Calamity, reprobate, Tukuman, Iscariot and schitzo" to inspire the frenetic "horror" – a story of schizophrenia from the perspective of a schizophrenic. I found this to inspire a great deal of prayer for friends with this disease.
· Rick Martinez, our most beloved pastor and Spiritual leader also likes the way I write. For this reason, I wrote and re-wrote and re-wrote "zeke" – the most popular story of this series (according to hits). Rick's words were: " I don't believe in God anymore," inspiring this story of a homeless skateboarder who has been let down by his family and the church.
· Caroline Passier, a true friend who loves Israel and will take us all one day (!) gave me the words "love, in love, and romance" – inspiring the very Jewish "shiva" a story of the traditional grieving period after a loved one dies in the Jewish community. I absolutely loved this story. It told itself, unfolding with a story of a young couple whose happiness is cut short by an unexpected death.
· Amanda Lai, a very cool girl who has become a woman right before my eyes, invited me to craft a story for her daughter, who LOVES princesses. "Princess, Love, Beauty, Giving, and Heart" inspired "emeralds" – a tale of a magic kingdom of acceptance told for all ages.
· Tim Silva, one of the very first boys I ever had a crush on, gave me "Excitement, Paranormal, Scary, Beautiful, and Spiritual" – for me to tell first person narrative "paraexistence" from the perspective of a young girl trapped in a small town with a ghost story.
· Alicia Robynn Vosburg, my beloved beautiful daughter gave me the words: "Mother, daughter, flute, eggroll, fight" and I surrendered "tigerdragon" – a tale told from a mother's perspective about her relationship with her adult daughter. I wept as I wrote, and reminded myself it was all pretend.. all fiction. How much she means to me!
· Debbie Haines, a doctor who accompanied us on our trip to the Sudan, became one of my very best friends who understood the deep, deep parts of my heart. Her words: " father, necklace, solace, refugee, Narus (the town in Sudan)" inspired "protoplasm" – a story of the great dysentery plague during the Sudanese civil wars of the 1990's. The terrible nature of war gives the most hideous images, but also yields the most hope for survival and humanity.
· Jan Ahlfs is a friend I haven't seen in awhile, but can connect with like no time has past when I do! Her words: "Sky, tunnel, blue, grace, friend" All wove a story of a friend's desire for vengeance and the true power of redemptive "grace".
· Callie Tayler, my dear Snow White friend, is one of the best people I have ever travelled with in my whole life. Her testimony of God in her life is amazing (corner her and get it!) Her words: "On a dark, stormy night…" created a story within a story: absence. When parents have adult children, you are not supposed to interfere with their lives, but you can't help overprotecting them...even when you're not invited!
· Tiff Debrichy gave me a very pensive "love and intimacy" to inspire the story "shopping" – a complicated story of prejudice, racism, ageism and the changing landscape of culture. Like Tiff, it is a story with many nooks and crannies... not easily told.
I have a friend name Judith Stone Moos, a wild-card that gave me these words: "floral, wave, create, imagination, play" – which helped me compile this blog – five.
Give me five words and I will be so so so so happy to weave it into a story – inspired by you! Please stay tuned for my family stories. They will be consecutive for the next week.

New Star Statements / Arthur H
Arthur H, Credits : emmapicq
Biography - Arthur H
Pianist, singer, and songwriter Arthur H has been hailed as the quintessential French chanteur, a musical heir to Serge Gainsbourg with echoes of Tom Waits and Boris Vian. Arthur H is known for his melodic, cracked voice, electrifying live performances, and lyrics that fuse poetry with sensuality and humor.
His singing is marked by a seductive musicality, delivered with passion and a charming nonchalance that, while distinctly French in style, transcends language. With musical influences that include Thelonious Monk, the Sex Pistols, jazz, blues, rock, electro, Middle Eastern, and gypsy music, Arthur H's singular sound world has been compared to the striking paintings of Hieronymus Bosch—each album is a brand new trip, a new imaginative and sonic exploration.
Son of pop singer Jacques Higelin and Nicole Courtois, Arthur Higelin was born in Paris in 1966. Following a three-month sailing expedition in the West Indies, Arthur H studied music at Berklee College in Boston. Upon his return to Paris, he started several bands with whom he played his first songs. Working his way through successive musical influences—Thelonious Monk, Tom Waits, the Sex Pistols, jazz, blues, and the tango—Arthur H began to piece together a highly personal style.
In December 1988, Arthur H and English bassist Brad Scott put together a show for a three-night booking at a small 60-seat venue in Paris, La Vieille Grille. The show was such a success that they stayed on for three months. Audiences took an instant liking to the young artist's blend of humor, music, and poetry. The three musicians collaborated on Arthur H's first album Arthur H, released in September 1989. Critics also took notice, and a few years later, Arthur H received the Victoire de la Musique award, the French equivalent of the Grammys, for most talented new artist of the year. His popularity grew steadily, and from 1989 to 1994 Arthur H performed over 700 concerts and sold approximately 150,000 albums.
In September 2005, Arthur H released the album Adieu Tristesse. His duo with French rocker Matthieu Chedid Est-ce que tu aimes? won him another Victoires de la Musique award for Best Video Clip of the Year. Renowned Canadian singer Feist collaborated with Arthur H on La Chanson de Satie, inspired by the great French composer Erik Satie's famous Gymnopédies. And together with his father Jacques Higelin, Arthur H recorded the duo Le Destin du Voyageur.
In 2009, Arthur H received the Victoire Award for Best Pop/Rock Album of the Year for his album L'Homme du monde. Arthur H's tenth album, Baba Love, was released in France in October 2011 to overwhelming critical acclaim.
About the last album"Baba Love"
Baba Love, Arthur H's tenth studio album, includes songs in French and English and features duets with guest performers such as American MC Saul Williams, legendary French actor Jean-Louis Trintignant, and Arthur H's own sister, the singer Izia, among others.
To produce Baba Love, Arthur H founded his own production and publishing company, and recorded on diverse instruments including an organ used by The Doors, a Vox Electra, a 1974 Rhodes piano, and an old mellotron from the 1960s to create a pure and organic sound

On campus mountain biking
In 2018, the University of Arkansas began collaborating with Progressive Trail Design and the Walton Family Foundation to establish a new natural-surface trail system on campus. The first of these trails is the Oak Ridge is a wooded hillside between the Walton College of Business and Clinton Street.
Informal paths were reclaimed and replaced with a sustainable trail system that enhances the safety and aesthetics of the Oak Ridge. The updated system of paths includes decomposed granite trails, cedar steps, flagstone trailheads, and gateway mountain bike trails such as the freshman experience pictured below. The finished product is durable, low-impact, scenic, and fun for users.
The work is supported with a grant from the Walton Family Foundation along with U of A matching resources for site work and land allocation. A public ribbon cutting was hosted on of the Oak Ridge Hillside in May of 2018.

Vogue Williams explains why she's putting a hold on trying for baby #2 | SHEmazing!
Vogue Williams is a mum to little Theodore and he is by far one of the cutest babies we've ever seen so we weren't one bit surprised to hear the mum had been eager to expand her brood.
With a baby as cute as Theodore, how could you not want to have another?
However, Vogue has revealed that they're putting a hold on their plans to try for baby two.
The DJ opened up about the decision in an interview with The Mirror.
"I think I just want to enjoy a bit more of Theodore. And being pregnant, I didn't find it the easiest thing in the world so I need to give my body a little bit more of a break," the doting mum added.
Vogue said she would love Theodore to have a sibling close in age, just like her and her own sister.
"There's just two and a half years between my sister and I and she's my best pal so I'd love that for Theodore," she gushed.
They may be waiting another little while for baby number two, but Vogue is already excited about their future family plans.
"At some point, we will start trying again in the not too distant future," she shared.
