DCCI fears soaring NPLs to increase cost of doing business
Niaz Mahmud
Delegates present at a press conference at the DCCI conference hall in Dhaka on Monday, January 20, 2020 Collected
The DCCI new President Shams Mahmud made the remark at a press conference at the chambers conference hall on the current economic situation in the country
The Dhaka Chamber of Commerce and Industry (DCCI) on Monday expressed its fear that the cost of doing business would increase because of the soaring nonperforming loans (NPLs) in the banking sector.
The DCCI new President Shams Mahmud made the remark at a press conference at the chambers conference hall on the current economic situation in the country.
"The NPLs has increased the cost of borrowing and that in turn pushed the cost of doing business up," he pointed out.
Mahmud suggested identifying the willful defaulters to control NPLs.
"But if someone fails to repay his loan due to delayed power or energy connections, he or she should not be considered willful defaulter," he said.
The business leader hoped that the government commitment of cutting down lending rate to single digit would come into effect in April this year.
Mahmud also demanded single digit loan facility for the SMEs as well and said that micro credit and banking loan to SMEs were different things.
On government's bank borrowing, he said the government borrowing from the banking sector was for the development of the country's and the private sector would not be affected by it.
"Some private sector companies are now availing foreign funds as their credit source," he added.
Asked about the overall economic status of the country, the DCCI president said that considering the global political and economic situation, Bangladesh was passing challenging time.
The chamber stressed vibrant secondary bond market and green field projects or companies on the capital market for the development of public infrastructure.
The DCCI president welcomed the prime minister's intervention and her six concrete directions to revive the stock market. He also called for allowing company buy back system and good governance in the country's capital market.
Mahmud said RMG was the largest export earning sector, but other sectors should also be developed to back RMG.
To promote other sectors, he urged for bonded warehouse facility, back to back LC to leather made products, tax rebate and new technology adoption.
He demanded steps to ensure that no one was subjected to double taxation.
Forward linkage of RMG was good but the backward linkage industry of RMG and textile sectors needed a push, he said.
The DCCI policy was for strengthening Public-Private Partnership (PPP) and amendment of Companies Act and the chamber was working for implementation of one stop service at DCCI in collaboration with Bangladesh Investment Development Authority (BIDA).
DCCI Senior Vice President NKA Mobin, Vice President Mohammad Bashiruddin, Director SM Zillur Rahman, Waqar Ahmad Choudhury and Rashedul Karim Munna were present at the press conference.

If you have been following this blog you will know that one of my schools is going to have to move one of its buildings a couple of miles away from its current location. Those few of us that have been involved so far have been up and down the change curve, in depression and delight, in fear and fancifulness - all natural, and almost inevitable, responses to imposed change. Now I know that it is important to 'take control' as much as possible and avoid a feeling of 'being done to'. We had managed to get to this point.
Now the game changes - the proposal is in the public arena for examination by parents, other staff, other governors, etc - each of which is startinjg where we did 3 months ago; each of which has to go through their own process of denial, despair, resistance, depression before starting to see a way forward. Each individual moves at their own pace and our role as leaders is to help the progress along its' way, to be supportive, to acknowledge the pain that people will be going through and to help them move forward constructively.


The Flatiron Spinning Wheel rises from a flat-packed box much like Boulder's iconic Flatirons tilted up from a once-horizontal position. The elegant design of the formed maple ply body calls upon the same drama that makes the Flatirons so striking. This unique Saxony style wheel is anything but traditional, much like the company's hometown of Boulder, Colorado.
The superb Flatiron Spinning Wheel is customizable; you can build it with either the flyer on the left or the right. With self-aligning bearings in the maidens, and a fully adjustable drive wheel, the whole system is sure to spin true. The clever quick-release lever makes changing out bobbins trouble-free.
The Flatiron Spinning Wheel can be set up in all three tension systems (Scotch tension, double drive, and bobbin lead). The Flatiron comes with medium and fast whorls; the extra slow, slow, high, and super high speed whorls can also be used for a wide range of rations.
Included acccessories: poly drive band, threading hook, 3 travel bobbins, medium and fast whorls, and a double drive band.

Many of you may die horribly, but it is a sacrifice I am willing to make.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi urged her colleagues to back a major overhaul of U.S. health care even if it threatens their political careers, a call to arms that underscores the issue's massive role in this election year.
What she should do is to promise to step down if even one demo loses his or her seat. That'd show me her resolve. Anything else is pure bitchery.
Just like another freak unpredicted snowstorm, along comes the high prophet Gore to whip the disillusioned back into fighting shape. Thanks to the NYT for providing the stage.
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/28/opinion/28gore.html
I, for one, genuinely wish that the climate crisis were an illusion. But unfortunately, the reality of the danger we are courting has not been changed by the discovery of at least two mistakes in the thousands of pages of careful scientific work over the last 22 years by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. In fact, the crisis is still growing because we are continuing to dump 90 million tons of global-warming pollution every 24 hours into the atmosphere — as if it were an open sewer.
Look up "egregious".
But the scientific enterprise will never be completely free of mistakes. What is important is that the overwhelming consensus on global warming remains unchanged. It is also worth noting that the panel's scientists — acting in good faith on the best information then available to them — probably underestimated the range of sea-level rise in this century, the speed with which the Arctic ice cap is disappearing and the speed with which some of the large glacial flows in Antarctica and Greenland are melting and racing to the sea.
This is exactly the opposite of what we have observed. Does he expect that all he has to do is open his mouth and people believe?
Something is really truly and scarily wrong.
A majority of Americans think the federal government poses a threat to rights of Americans, according to a new national poll.
Fifty-six percent of people questioned in a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey released Friday say they think the federal government's become so large and powerful that it poses an immediate threat to the rights and freedoms of ordinary citizens. Forty-four percent of those polled disagree.
You IDIOTS. You are supposed to think this! You were never supposed to stop thinking it. That's why the Founders wrote the Constitution and Bill of Rights as they did.
Government has ALWAY represented a threat to your rights and freedoms. That was recognized two hundred plus years ago.
God, when did IQ's drop precipitously?
Speaking of unsafe governments…
Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Friday that President Barack Obama's historic health care drive was closer to passage after a high-stakes summit with Republicans opposed to the overhaul.
As Democrats wrestled with how best to push the ambitious legislation forward, Pelosi said the unusual seven-hour talks on Thursday "made a difference, and it moved us closer to passing a bill."
"We are determined that we are going to pass health-care reform," said the speaker.
C.L. Gray, M.D. had a fantastic observation…
Given that President Obama's plan has held on to the support of only one in four Americans, why did he begin the summit by refusing to honor Senator Alexander's request to take reconciliation off the table? In effect, within the first few minutes, the president essentially told Republicans they must either agree with his plan, or he would ram current legislation through the Senate with 51 votes. The chance to start over with a clean sheet of paper and build on areas of agreement—the entire concept of a summit—was never a real possibility.
There is a hugely clear link between sunscreen and cancer – 90-something percent of people who have cancer have used sunscreen at one point or another in their lives. With that kind of correlation, what's to debat? So if you do a bit of thinking, it's obvious that man's pollution leads to global warming which leads to more sunscreen use which will then kill us. Sunscreen is bad.
You're probably thinking – "Oh LK's on drugs again." And you'd be right, but I didn't make this up. These people really are full members of the culture that pisses themselves at the sight of their own shadow.
I am not making this up.
CLIMATE scientists yesterday stunned Britons suffering the coldest winter for 30 years by claiming last month was the hottest January the world has ever seen.
The remarkable claim, based on global satellite data, follows Arctic temperatures that brought snow, ice and travel chaos to millions in the UK.
As usual, if there is error, it will be biased towards whichever side will result in the most research dollars flowing back to the scientists holding their hands out.
At the height of the big freeze, the entire country was blanketed in snow. But Australian weather expert Professor Neville Nicholls, of Monash University in Melbourne, said yesterday: "January, according to satellite data, was the hottest January we've ever seen.
"Last November was the hottest November we've ever seen. November-January as a whole is the hottest November-January the world has seen." Veteran climatologist Professor Nicholls was speaking at an online climate change briefing, added: "It's not warming the same everywhere but it is really quite challenging to find places that haven't warmed in the past 50 years."
Not so challenging when the data is weighted and homogenized, you twit.
Taliban killing themselves as they plant IED's. Aw, too bad.
Up to 20 are thought to have died planting Improvised Explosive Devices.
They were racing to plant the IEDs before the Allied offensive Operation Moshtarak. The triggers on the IEDs have become so sensitive the terrorists are accidentally detonating them as they hide them.
Doesn't that just break your heart?


Back pain is an inevitable in life for most people, but what you do fortunately have control over is the amount of pain you sustain from an injury, and whether you develop an injury at all. These are common ways in which people injure their backs, and how to avoid doing so.
It might seem odd, but people often times throw their backs out of whack doing things that they'd never expect would be rough on their back. For example, it's easy for a person to injure their backs by simply bending down to pick a piece of paper up off the floor or standing idle in front of the sink and doing the dishes for several minutes at a time. The best way to prevent injury while completing mindless tasks it to always keep your core engaged. An easy way to do this is to keep your navel pulled back toward your spine.
It's easy to fall into the back injury trap when it comes time to move or to help someone else move. You think you can lift that desk all by yourself, but when it comes time to lean down and lift, you find that a very uncomfortable and sharp pain strikes your back. Lifting and moving is a great way to spur a back injury. There are moving companies in the Denver area or where ever you happen to live, that for a fee, will move everything for you! It's better to pay for a moving company than it is to pay for countless hospital bills, fees, and medications.
Sitting around and doing computer work or watching TV is one surefire way to come upon back trouble. The reason backs have trouble keeping up with ongoing sitting routines is because it is constantly unaligned, creating painful pressure. To avoid this, try to work in as much exercise and movement as possible into your daily routine.
Another common way in which people often injure their backs is by participating in sports or activities that they usually participate in. The culprit is using muscles strenuously that aren't typically used, and the result is usually injury. The best way to avoid this type of back injury is to exercise as much as possible to prepare for this type of recreation. Even after the back has been hurt during strenuous activity, it's a good idea to exercise it as as much as possible. Strengthening and flexing core muscles is always a great fix.

In Beyond Gotham, Brainiac intends to shrink the Earth and it's up to the Justice League and others in the DC Comics wheelhouse to gather Lantern Rings from various Lantern Worlds to prevent his dastardly plan. That's more than reason enough to get Batman in space.
As someone who is only now playing through LEGO Marvel Super Heroes, I feel so behind. Gotta catch up -- for Bat-Cow! Beyond Gotham will be out this fall.

Q: iPhone home screen icon for Super User is hard to see I've recently started saving homescreen links to various Stack Exchange sites on my iPhone.
All of them look great, but the Super User icon, having dark gray on dark gray, looks like it's only half of the logo when viewed from a regular distance on the small phone screen.
Here is a screenshot of various logos, blown up to show the SU logo with more contrast.
(Just like cereal boxes!)
It's certainly not an urgent issue and it isn't anything that impedes the site's use, but I believe that if the Super User iPhone Home Screen Icon had a white background it would be more iconic and certainly more pleasing to the eye.

Note that nearly a year later, after Arqade (Gaming) and Role-Playing got new icons, the Super User icon is still the same.

A: The issue here is not with Super User putting a black background behind the icon.  The icon itself has a transparent background.  By default, Apple places a black background behind icons that are transparent.  On the Android, the icon itself floats on the home screen, without the background (and both devices use the same file for the icon).
Now, I wouldn't have an issue with using the icon with a lighter gray color, but the black background you see isn't anything that Stack Exchange did, it's a ('nuther) peculiarity of Apple.

A: I also started bookmarking SE sites on my home screen and noticed the Super User logo looked out of place. However, I don't think a white background should be added, as that would remove the consistency with all the other icons. I like M. Tibbit's suggestion (in fact, I thought the same thing) of making the left half of the face white instead. Here is a quick mockup I made (doesn't it look fantastic):

How is pressure mapping on a saddle performed?
A pressure mapping foil with sensors is placed on the saddle. As soon as the rider gets on the saddle, the pressure is mapped with approx. 100 pressure mapping sensors and the result sent to a computer. Thanks to the remote transmitter, the pressure mapping can be performed statically in the lab on a trainer or dynamically in real life on the trail.
The pressure distribution is displayed by colour: blue represents low pressure, then the pressure rises from turquoise through green, yellow, orange to red.
The two-stage wave form fits perfectly to the mostly bulbous ischial branches and offers at the same time an optimal relief of the sensitive structures of the perineal area. The SQlab Ergowave ® is the result of a three-year research cooperation with the Frankfurt University of Applied Sciences..
The pressure mapping diagram shows an optimal pressure distribution from a medical stand point on the sitbones (red) and pubic bones (orange/yellow) and almost no pressure in the perineal area.
Shows increased pressure (yellow to red) in the perineal area and in the area of the pubic bone arch.
Shows concerningly high pressure peaks on the sides of the perineal area, where important arteries and nerves are located. In the centre the blood is able to flow well, but numbness will still be an issue.
Pressure ulcers in the perineal region!
We have only been able to find reports of this problem in connection with the hole saddle design.
Our measurements, investigations and experiences confirm that this problem has not yet occurred with our stepped saddle design with the saddle width system. The lower-lying saddle nose normally reduces even the lateral pressure on the perineal region more than sufficiently.
As early as 2015 (Mountainbike Magazine 6/2015), a sports ergonomist reported the risk of pressure ulcers caused by the edges of large-hole saddles.
Issue 4/2019 once more reports that scientific studies have found high pressures at the edge zones of the saddles with holes.
Pressure sores reportedly rarely occur when the forward-leaning riding position is adopted.
How can this be explained from a medical point of view?
Pressure sores are familiar to people who experience severe pain or have restricted movement, or both, to such an extent that they develop "bed sores", also known as decubitus.
We assume that pressure ulcers are actually a rare occurrence during cycling.
Before tissue and nerve cells die off, the pain would most likely prevent the cyclist from continuing. According to the study, significant danger arises when numbness occurs in combination with the ambition to finish the race.
Problems occurring far ahead of the development of pressure ulcers are apparently more frequent. Before the tissue and the nerve cells die off irreparably, it can be assumed with a high degree of certainty that strains will have already occurred, i.e. the combination of pressure and shear forces on the perineal area and the nerves and blood vessels present there can lead to a reduction in sexual performance.
"Even for bikers who wish to ride in the forward-leaning race position for performance reasons, this pressure shift to the edges of a recessed saddle is advisable. Only rarely can pressure ulcers arise here. "
Since, as described above, many complaints can occur before a pressure sore irreparably damages the structures of the perineal area, this recommendation is incomprehensible from a medical point of view.
"Gliding along as if in a sedan chair with SQlab active ....... and hardly any pressure on the perineal region."
SQlab became the first saddle manufacturer to introduce a system to measure the distance between the sit bones and to calculate the optimal saddle width.

Stanly County Family YMCA in Albemarle.
YMCA announces closure time
By BJ Drye
Published 10:00 pm Tuesday, March 17, 2020
The Stanly County Family YMCA will close beginning at 7 p.m. Wednesday due to the coronavirus.
An email credited to the YMCA board and staff Tuesday night was sent to YMCA members. The message said the decision was made "in an effort to prevent continued spread of COVID-19."
The Y plans to re-evaluate its position April 6.
"Throughout the Y's history, we have been called upon to provide critical services during challenging or uncertain times," the email stated. "During our temporary closure, we are working closely with local officials, emergency agencies, school systems and health care organizations to support our community and will share those details and how you can help neighbors in need as soon as possible."
The YMCA will continue to provide School's Out care to current Y after school participants from 6:45 a.m. until 6 p.m. Gov. Roy Cooper suspended school for children across the state until at least March 30.
Full-time member children can attend with no additional cost while part-time member children can attend for $15 per day. Parents are encouraged to send children with packed lunches.
The program will be evaluated daily.
"As a nonprofit, we're working hard to serve during this time," the email continued. "Your generous support provides a foundation for our work."
During this closure, the Y is offering Y360 virtual classes so members and the general public can stay healthy at home.
"It is our strong intention to resume all normal operations as soon as possible. As things change, we will continue to keep you informed," the email concluded. "We are grateful for your understanding, flexibility and support."
The YMCA is not the only place closed for fitness.
Planet Fitness issued a message Tuesday that it would temporarily close. "We will continue to monitor the situation closely and will reopen as soon as permitted," it said.
Gold's Gym in Albemarle is open with normal business hours.
"We are monitoring everything on a day to day basis and factoring in every decision with the best interests of our members, their families and our staff," Ben Newport, owner and operator, said in an email Wednesday afternoon. "But as for now, we are staying clean and going forward."

Singapore-based startup Grab is in talks to buy out Uber's business in Southeast Asia, CNBC reported Friday, citing people familiar with the negotiations. The U.S. ride-hailing service provider would be compensated in the form of an equity payment granting it a "sizable" stake in Grab. As such, the move is reminiscent of Uber's 2016 sale of its China business to local rival Didi Chuxing which left it with approximately a fifth of the Far Eastern company. Last summer, the San Francisco-based firm opted for a similar transaction in Russia where it consolidated its operations with Yandex in exchange for over a third of the merged business.
As was the case with the previous two sales, Uber's primary motivation for offloading its Southeast Asia unit would be cutting costs. The company burned through $4.5 billion in cash in 2017 alone and while its growth is still on track to eventually outpace its losses if it continues, it's a major obstacle to its ambitions to go public next year. A potential agreement with Grab is all the more likely by virtue of the fact the duo shares a common investor in SoftBank. Whereas the Japanese tech giant became Uber's largest investor earlier this year by taking an approximately 15-percent stake in the company for $9.3 billion, not counting an additional $1.1 billion financial injection, it pumped $2 billion in Grab last summer in partnership with Didi Chuxing at an undisclosed valuation, though one that likely leaves it with close to a controlling stake in the startup. While the Uber investment is believed to have been made through SoftBank's Vision Fund and the money put into Grab came directly from the conglomerate, the end result of these commitments is the same - SoftBank has a vested interest in putting an end to Uber and Grab's price wars in Southeast Asia as it's seeking to lead both companies to long-term profitability.
The sources cited by CNBC weren't able to provide an approximate timeframe on the conclusion of the reported talks between Uber and Grab, suggesting the negotiations themselves are still in a relatively early phase. The ride-hailing startup recently put an end to the largest threat to its public image in the form of the trade secret theft lawsuit filed by Alphabet's Waymo and may become profitable by 2021, according to a previous statement from its CEO Dara Khosrowshahi. Mr. Khosrowshahi recently indirectly dismissed the possibility of Uber exiting more developing countries by saying that continuing its investments in such markets is "the right thing to do."

Dějiny
Jméno města pochází od sosnových lesů, které se zde rozkládaly před rokem 1830. Původní název zněl Sosnowice. Nejstarší známá zmínka o osadě na území dnešního Sosnovce pochází zřejmě z roku 1123. Městská práva obdržela na krátkou dobu dnešní čtvrť Modrzejów a v roce 1902 Sosnowiec, což byl první případ přiznání městských práv v tzv. Polském království za vlády carského Ruska po lednovém povstání (1863-1864). V době získání městský práv měla "vesnice" Sosnovec 61 tisíc obyvatel.

Přelomem v rozvoji města se stala výstavba železniční stanice na trase Varšava-Vídeň (nádraží z roku 1859) a rozvoj těžkého průmyslu (doly, hutě).

Out in Theaters: 'AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR'
April 24, 2018 by Matt Oakes Posted in Out in Theaters	Tagged Avengers: Infinity War, Benedict Cumberbatch, Chadwick Boseman, Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Chris Pratt, Kevin Feige, Mark Ruffalo, Marvel, Scarlett Johansson	1 Comment
Over the course of 18 films and 10 years, Kevin Feige and his army of Marvel men and women have laid a pretty nifty foundation upon which the Marvel Cinematic Universe rests. What started with humble beginnings with 2008's Iron Man has since blown up into a cultural and financial supernova with no less than 30 recognizable characters and all that comes to a head with the Russo Brother's astonishingly ambitious though perfunctorily flawed Avengers: Infinity War.

Heavy hangs the crown in Black Panther, a Marvel movie whose real-life cultural and societal implications overshadow its storytelling prowess. The import and impact of Black Panther as a chapter in film history cannot be overstated. Although this isn't Hollywood's first attempt to turn a historically black superhero into the main event, headlining their own tentpole film – consider Wesley Snipes run as the vampire-hunter Blade, Halle Berry's turn as Catwoman, Will Smith's alcoholic anti-hero Hancock or even Shaquille O'Neal's turn as Steel – this feels like a first in part because of how much effort has been poured into its making and, more importantly, how readily it embraces its fundamental blackness, from its colorful African settings to its tribally-influenced makeup, hairstyle, and costumes to its predominately black cast and crew, a verifiable assemblage of talent that'll turn even the most skeptical of heads.

Synopsis: "Political pressure mounts to install a system of accountability when the actions of the Avengers lead to collateral damage. The new status quo deeply divides members of the team. Captain America (Chris Evans) believes superheroes should remain free to defend humanity without government interference. Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) sharply disagrees and supports oversight. As the debate escalates into an all-out feud, Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner), Vision (Paul Bettany), War Machine (Don Cheadle), Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen), Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman), Winter Solider (Sebastian Stan), Falcon (Anthony Mackie), Ant-Man (Paul Rudd) and Spider-Man (Tom Holland) all must pick a side."

Ever since Samuel L. Jackson cropped up in an eye patch in Iron Man's post-credits, Marvel films have had their eye firmly planted on the future. Setting up incoming installments has been a precarious process, resulting in such face-palmingly clunky sequences as the infamous "Thor in a Bath Tub" scene and the entirety of Iron Man 2. When not preoccupied with teasing the oncoming comic strata or hogtying in easter eggs for uber-nerds to dissect and debate, Marvel has admittedly done fine work developing their roster of heroes, taking careful stock in ensuring that its non-comic reading audience has at the bare minimum a working sense of what drives these supers to strap into spandex and save the world. With Captain America: Civil War, a direct sequel to the events of Captain America: Winter Solider that employs nearly the entirety of The Avengers, those characters turn to the rear view to take stock of what has been lost along the way.

Out in Theaters: GET ON UP
July 30, 2014 by Matt Oakes Posted in Out in Theaters	Tagged Biopic, Chadwick Boseman, Dan Aykroyd, Get On Up, James Brown, Nelsan Ellis, Octavia Spencer, Out in Theaters, Reviews, Tate Taylor	1 Comment
Get On Up doesn't know how good Chadwick Boseman is. Bursting with energy, filled with soul and one-hundred-and-sixty-nine percent committed, Boseman is a firecracker. Hell, he's straight dynamite. How appropriate that he plays the man they once called Mr. Dynamite. It's a certifiable shame then that the movie that surrounds Boseman's accomplished concerto of a performance is overstuffed, poorly edited and, like the king of soul himself, doesn't know when to quit.
Tate Taylor's (The Help) second feature starts, as all musical biopics apparently must, with the long, lonely saunter up to a final show of sorts. Old and beleaguered with regret, the icon is but a silhouette dwarfed by the enormity of a vacant hallway. Cut to Old Man Brown quite apparently hopped up on something of the Schedule 1 variety ranting at a room full of bootstraps-business folks and waving a shotgun over his head. This made-up Boseman's all gums and shades but the scene only manages to paint the man as a Looney Tune.
Cut to bedazzled, toe-tapping Brown all get-up and no humility barking at a press conference. Cut to 6-year old Brown and his backwoods family eking by in some pinewood shanty. His momma turns to prostitution and his daddy beats him raw. All he wants is a lullaby. Cut to a teenage Brown stealing a three-piece suit and getting five to 13 years for it. Cut some more.
Cut, rinse, repeat. Cut, rinse, repeat. It allows for some mighty good scenes but makes for some mighty long-winded ones too. And while there's lots rave-worthy stuck in there like gummies in a Cadbury Black Forest bar, the convoluted mess that is traveling from one scene to the next is an exercise in reckless abandon.
If only the editors had the good sense to slash 30 minutes of the film, we could have been dealing with something great. Had he tightened it up like Brown did his facial skin around the 90s, Taylor might have been working towards a gold statue nomination. Trim the fat, Tate. Trim the fat.
As is, Get On Up is a mostly pleasing patchwork of scenes that each contribute to a time, a place, and a feeling that then gets all that jumbled up and mismatched. Elephant heads end up on rhino bodies. A scene where friends feud with no sign of respite fades into them being immeasurably close confidantes. It's not that we're not smart enough to connect the dots, it's that we shouldn't be forced to do that work for Taylor and co. It's like watching someone try to piece a puzzle together with one bright, shining star at its center; a star so massive and so bright, it apparently blinds, distorts and sucks in everything around it.
And boy oh boy is Boseman a star. As the one, the only James Brown, he's surpassed impersonation, he's transcended imitation. He lives and breathes James Brown. Every rubbery dance move, every superhuman split is Brown's. That sagging eye and sneering falsetto; bonafide Brown. His salt-and-pepper speech crackles like a record player. I can't tell if he's actually singing or just doing the world's best lip-synching. In all aspects, he's Brown reborn.
Usually cloaked in beads of sweat, the character even gestures towards the camera every once in a while, occasionally monologuing in head-shaking fourth-wall breakage, but Boseman's so catastrophically good that you actually welcome it. And props to the makeup team who for once hit the nail on the head when they age the 32-year old talent well past his prime. He doesn't look the flour-face abomination that is Leonardo DiCaprio's J. Edgar. But then again, Brown 55-year old visage looked like a drooping eggplant anyways. He's a supernova but he's paying the hefty price of admission for it. You can't be a sun and not get burned.
But again and again, we must reckon with the fact that Boseman is merely the Shamu to Get On Up's Sea World. He's a mighty presence but you'll soon discover there's not much else to the park. His role in Get On Up is the equivalent of using morels to make a cream of mushroom soup. You've got the finest ingredient in the world and you're watering it down with a pool of a blasé, sometimes even flavorless, base.
It's as if the editors found his each and every scene too indispensable to hack so they just shrugged and left it all in there. But you've got to trim even the prized rose if you want to win the trophy. Taylor seems too scared to bust out even the measliest of trimmers and ends up stabbing himself in the foot for it. His repetition of form is so ad nauseum that you'd think the prankster was trying to rickroll us. But goddammit if Boseman is not his savior; his knight is shining purple sequin. He's so good, I can't help but hyperbolize some more.
As Brown, Boseman's got the magnetism of Tom Cruise, the jitters of Jagger, the paranoia of Scarface, the drive of Jordan Belfort and the moves that only Brown can call his own. He's plays the Godfather of Soul like a black Marlon Brando. Commitment is his cup of tea. You believe it when he tells you he feels good. He even manages to dance circles around Academy Award-nominated co-stars Octavia Spencer and Viola Davis. And how perfectly suiting for a story about a man who the world could never keep up with.
And as much as it's the story of Brown's triumph, it's also the story of his defeat. About his pride getting in the way of friends and family. About his shark and minnow relationship with Bobby Byrd (Nelsan Ellis) and how that would become the defining relationship in a string of failed ones. After all, you can move a million miles a minute but what's all that fancy footwork worth if you don't have anyone to share it with at the end of the day?
Out in Theaters: DRAFT DAY
April 11, 2014 by Chris Bunker Posted in Out in Theaters	Tagged Chadwick Boseman, Draft Day, Frank Langella, Jennifer Garner, Kevin Costner, Out in Theaters, Reviews, Sean Combs
Directed by Ivan Reitman
Starring Kevin Costner, Jennifer Garner, Chadwick Boseman, Frank Langella, Sean Combs
Sports, Drama
Every year, one sports movie comes out of nowhere to become a classic. Last year, that honor belonged to Ron Howard's Rush. This year, that honor might belong to Draft Day.
Rarely do I find myself enjoying Chris Berman's blowhard baritone. Yet, something about hearing his voice as shots of the NFL Draft at Radio City in New York fly by made my heart beat. Draft Day, a propaganda film of the most subtle kind, calls upon an inner craving for America's greatest sport in a time of absence: football.
Kevin Costner is back to star in another sports movie, this time as Sonny Weaver Jr., the Cleveland Browns' general manager and chief decision-maker. Cleveland hasn't been good at football, well, seemingly ever. With a top-10 draft pick and a chance to change the franchise forever, pressure mounts for Costner and his girlfriend Jennifer Garner, the team's Salary Cap Manager who's pregnant with his baby and salary cap knowledge.
Shit's hitting the fan for Costner, who must decide between three players: the 'local legacy,' the 'star QB' and the 'hardworking heart kid.' Things start off pretty rough: he trades away three 1st round draft picks to get the 1st overall pick. Players rage over the decision, coaches applaud, Twitter explodes and the team's owner (Frank Langella) tells Costner his job's on the line.
Of course, there are other problems going on here too. Costner's not ready to be a dad as his father just passed away, his secretary's on vacation, and he just can't figure out what to do with that top button on his dress shirt. To non-football fans, there's enough fluff (a ticking clock, beautiful people and a decent romance) to make it worthwhile. Don't get me wrong though: this movie is 100% football.
Aerials of football stadiums across the nation (notably CenturyLink Field in Seattle) fly you right into the action—there's no better way to set the stage than a team's home stadium and screaming fans. Coaches and General Managers cuss each other out over salary cap numbers, draft picks, and young football players with two first names.
Whether it's incredibly real football highlights of young players concussing each other at game-speed or real-life talking heads going at it (the aforementioned Chris Berman, Mel Kiper, Jon Gruden and Deion Sanders to name a few), everything looks, smells, feels, tastes and sounds real. Filmed at the actual 2013 NFL Draft and on location at the Browns' headquarters, NFL's got its 'authentic' stamp all over it. Even NFL star running back Arian Foster shows up to act. Draft Day gets adrenaline flowing like Opening Day.
Only, watching Draft Day is like working your ass off all preseason only to tear your ACL stretching before the first game of the year—well, except for the excruciating pain part. There's so much football that you're left with a massive pair of blue balls once you realize that there's no actual football in it. It's more offseason than regular season: it's a two-hour foreplay session with Kate Upton. Hey, at the end of the day you're still hooking up with Kate Upton.
Draft Day wants you to lust after it—the fame, the flair, the football. Stadiums and team buildings are gorgeous, the actors are all handsome, New York's lights shine off of players' bleach-white teeth. It's The Blind Side from the hind side, Jerry Maguire if Tom Cruise could sext.
Seriously, everyone's in this movie. Kevin Costner, Jennifer Garner, Chadwick Boseman (Jackie Robinson in last year's decent 42), Frank Langella, Denis Leary and P.Diddy/Sean Combs/Diddy Combs even pulls a Jay-Z to act as the potential number one draft pick's slimy agent.
Costner looks like Brett Favre and plays like Andrew Luck. He wields a football like a NYPD Chief brandishes a .45 caliber pistol. His grizzled look that didn't work in 3 Days To Kill works well in the confines of a football compound, his cool demeanor amplifying as time begins to run out while rumors and numbers fly all around him. Costner's calm in the huddle, a flawed but passionate quarterback leading his team through the tunnel. He makes random decisions on the fly, tosses draft picks around like hot cakes and lays his balls on the table at every moment. He's so jittery and reckless you figure he might be high on painkillers: he's Whim Irsay.
On the other side of the spectrum acting spectrum we find Garner, who seems completely out of place and out-matched by her peers. Garner's repeated attempts at realistic football-speak end up sounding more like she's reading factoids off the back of a Wheaties box. She brings the movie down.
Chadwick Boseman's role is notable here. As Ohio State Linebacker Vontae Mack (the aforementioned 'hardworking heart kid'), he's thrilling. His manner is completely changed from 42, he's much more light-hearted and clever. His relationship with Costner is almost father-son, calling on him for help when he needs it and throwing a tantrum when he doesn't get what he wants. Boseman might be the best in this movie.
As the clock hits zero, Draft Day will likely go down as the year's best sports movie. Though non-football fans might find it a hard pill to swallow, the elements of a great story are there in spades. For football fans, this film will be like watching the Food Channel on a diet. Draft Day always plays more like fantasy football than real football. It might be more addicting.
Another Sunday's come and gone without pigskin. How many weeks till football?


The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development places special emphasis on supporting investments, which improve energy efficiency or promote renewable energy. In this context, EBRD established a dedicated credit line for energy efficiency and renewable energy projects in Ukraine aimed at end-users in the industrial sector.
The Ukraine Energy Efficiency Programme provides loans to the Ukrainian Participating Banks "PBs", which will on-lend the funds to end-users for industrial energy efficiency and renewable energy projects. Approximately 100 million € of sub-loans will be extended by PBs under the Facility.
In order to overcome the various barriers to such investment the EBRD mobilised technical assistance funds to support the Programme. The Energy Efficiency Experts – EEE – focus on evaluation of projects from a technical perspective and help end-users design projects through energy audits, environmental, health and safety audits and business plan preparation. The objective of the Energy Efficiency Experts is to assist individual prospective sub-borrowers identify sustainable energy opportunities, conduct energy and environmental audits and assess technical and economical feasibility of the identified projects. To achieve the set goal two audits have been carried out.
BLUEWATERS carried out several audits in the Ukraine together with the Energy Efficiency Experts from ALLPLAN. The samples have been analysed in laboratories and the results compared with the Ukrainian environmental guidelines which are in some respects harmonised with the EU-regulations and environmental legislative.
Based on the gathered results, potentials for improvement have been elaborated and measures to be set in place defined. The gathered information will serve for future planning of investments and project implementation.

Susanne Sundfør brings magic in form of music to Budapest
Budapest Life /
Susanne Sundfør brings magic in form of music to Budapest College Budapest
Budapest Life Social, Arts, and Culture
By Sofie H. Thomassen
With one of the most powerful records of 2017, the Norwegian singer-songwriter Susanne Sundfør is touring Europe these days. On Friday March 2, the tunes from Music for People in Trouble filled every corner at Mûpa Bèla Bartòk National Concert Hall – and again, Sundfør showed that she is, without a doubt, one of the best contemporary folk and art pop singer-songwriters.
Sundfør opens the concert with ten
der acoustic guitar, and the bare instrumentation exposes the loneliness in her voice – the audience are up for a real treat tonight. After a few minutes, her two band members enter the stage, followed by applause. "Kôszônôm", Sundfør replies with a warm smile, and tell us that this is her first time playing in Budapest and she hopes the audience will enjoy the rest of her concert.
The weight must be extremely heavy following a perfect record. This is the position Sundfør finds herself in after the breathtaking masterpiece, Ten Love Songs, released in 2015. After a melodramatic record full of orchestral ballads and synth pop, Sundfør stripped things down – her follow-up, Music for People in Trouble, is her most intimate release yet.
"I´m as empty as the earth, an insignificant birth, stardust in a universe, that's all that I am worth", Sundfør sings, and you can almost picture a quiet, winter evening with a moonlit sky. Sundfør and the two other band members swap between piano, guitar, flute and eventide space. But the true instrument is the gorgeous, haunting, angelic and melancholic voice of Susanne Sundfør.
In an interview with The Independent, Sundfør explained her newest album as a political statement. With songs as "Reincarnation" discussing the end of the world, "No One Believes in Love Anymore", a pessimistic loss of faith in romance, and "Bedtime Story", concerning environmental destruction, Sundfør makes her audience reflect. Lyrics as; "And when the night are cold and strange, and all the birds are gone, and all the oil´s been spilt, and left us on this earth alone", are expressed with cold blue and green light surrounding the concert hall, and a single stream of spotlight, with traces of smoke, shines down on Sundfør.
Sundfør has delivered a brilliant album, following the perfection she produced in 2015. The sparse instrumentation and melancholic voice captivates the audience and bring them on a captivating journey. Music for People in Trouble left the audience at Mûpa with tears in their eyes; Sundfør, again, showed that her music is exceptionally good.

Canadian Association of Black Journalists Launches Program To Inspire Teens

Just about every journalist of colour can likely relate to being one of the 'few of their hue' in their post-secondary program. I know I was. I made mental notes but didn't dwell. After all, it's not like this was my first such experience. Journalists of colour across the country report this situation remains unchanged: in journalism programs across the country, we make up only a fraction of the class. Smaller still are the number of graduates who are able to continue on as professionals and follow through with their dreams.

"African diasporic people have been exploring the oceans long before Europeans and as such, Indigenous and Black people interacted long before European contact. Indigenous and African diasporic peoples exchanged in trade. They exchanged goods, cultures, and customs. We know this from the archeological record that can connect Egypt and other parts of the African continent to South America, and North America.

Manchester United stunned Juventus with a dramatic late comeback to seal an unlikely win in Turin.
"Cristiano Ronaldo's career in 60 seconds"
Former Manchester United man Cristiano Ronaldo scored his first Champions League goal for Juventus with a quite stunning second-half volley, to give his side the lead.
But with only five minutes left on the clock, substitute Juan Mata fired home to ensure United remain second in their group.
Paul Pogba then bundled a winner over the line to complete a famous away victory for United. Here are five things we learned.
What a goal. What a player. The Xaviesque pass over the top from Leonardo Bonucci was superb. The Cristiano Ronaldo volley to beat David de Gea at his near post was sublime. Running of the shoulder of Victor Lindelöf, Ronaldo flicked out his right boot at the exact right moment, thundering a first-time shot high into the corner of the net.
De Gea didn't even have time to dive.
It was Ronaldo's first goal for Juventus in the Champions League. It won't be his last – but it is highly unlikely he will score one better. He did not deserve to be on the losing team.
Juan Mata dropped to the bench after starting United's last match against Bournemouth, but he showed Jose Mourinho why he should be starting with an important late equaliser. Another late goal then won United the game, to leave Champions League Group H in the balance.
Catching Juventus will still be difficult – but United's win leaves them two points above Valencia, who beat Young Boys 3-1 earlier in the evening.
United could therefore seal progression to the knockout stages if they beat Young Boys and Juventus do them a favour against Valencia next time out.
In the wake of the defeat at Old Trafford two weeks ago, Chris Smalling readily admitted that United had treated their opponents with too much respect. "We started the game a bit in awe," he said. "We were off the pace, and they were on the front foot." As such, it was no surprise to see United fall behind courtesy of a Paulo Dybala in the 17th minute. It was a blow Mourinho's side never recovered from.
This time round, there was no hesitancy and no respect. United meant business and for much of the match attempted to take the game to Juventus. Whether this meant surging counter-attacks through the likes of Anthony Martial or crunching tackles from Nemanja Matic, United showed they weren't willing to rollover and expose their soft underside to the reigning Italian champions, particularly at the end of that dramatic second-half.
Manchester United won this match in spite on Paul Pogba. Not because of him.
This was meant to be the return of Turin's favourite son but there was nothing favourable about Pogba's display tonight. By the 45-minute mark, the Frenchman had not recorded a touch in the opposition box yet, had made less passes (23) than Ander Herrera (28) and Nemanja Matic (24) and had given the ball away more times than any other United player.
In the build-up to this match, the World Cup winner insisted no less than nine times that he remains 'happy' at Old Trafford - but this performance did little to suggest that this is the case. The lethargy and apathy which underpinned tonight's performances stand in stark contrast to his displays for France over the summer. Despite his well-publicised overtures, it's his feet that do the talking - and it doesn't take a genius to see what they're saying.
28-year-old Miralem Pjanić – who cost Juventus €32m when he signed from Roma in 2016 – actually finished the 2015/16 Serie A season level on assists with Pogba. The Bosnia and Herzegovina international's neat, tidy passing game is never likely to generate as many headlines as the Frenchman, but he's more significant to Juventus' style of play than Pogba ever was.
No player touched the ball more than Pjanić. Nobody made as many passes. And nobody created as many significant chances. While Pogba glides around in the spotlight attempting the incredible, Pjanić darts around off set, mastering the basics and maintaining his team's rhythm. He is the Italian champion's secret weapon.


There was a fireworks festival at the Esplanade yesterday. All through the area was a sea of people along the Marina Square shopping center all the way to the Esplanade by the bay.
Normally I would enjoy watching fireworks. But instead of staying for the fireworks display, me and my brother rushed and snaked through the throngs of people. We knew that there was going to be a huge jam once the display was over.
There we were, squeezing though people and rushing to find the carpark while the sky lighted up with red, green, blue and yellow flames. People screaming in delight and children jumping up and down and everyone pointing to the sky.
At last we found the carpark and in the maze of cars we finally found the scooter. we hopped on and went off.
Unfortunately for us, just when we left the carpark and on the road, that was when the fireworks display ended.
just abiding to his rules. hehehe..
it's a good thing though coz i get to know another blogger.
we also have an ongoing fireworks competition held in downtown vancouver. but with 400,000 and more spectators and road closures, i'd rather stay home.
Bet our bro was uber heavy.
I love watching fireworks display and also it's nice to hear that you really had a nice time!
Diana : Not really, actually Vai was heavier.
Raimie : Very packed! It was a nightmare! Serves me right for being so blur and not remembering that there was a fireworks display at the esplanade!
Uh huh. Me and Din were there too. If you have stayed a while longer, you would have seen the terrible litters on the floor decorating the concrete grounds and grasses like a sprinkle of white chocolate rice on a muffin. Gah! And it's a nightmare trying to get to the esplanade carpark and also to get OUT of the carpark!
And the cars and taxi! Omg, I was so annoyed too. They cut other vehicles at the nick of the moment without any care in the world. Don't even get me started on the crazy taxi drivers. They think they're in a circus act! And those hooligans on bikes! OMG! And then Din suddenly turned into rebel and sped after a car annoyed him by cutting him suddenly, almost hitting us. Urgh!
I'm going to post the pictures of that night soon. Probly tomorrow though.
And OMG, Diana has a BLOG! This blog thing is an EVOLUTION!
And of course there was a lot of litter, I mean, who would actually wait a long time just to throw one itty bitty bit of thrash? I know some would, but the mass population wouldnt.
I know I'm being an idiot in saying this but, Singaporeans aren't so considerate in this kind of things. Nope, not even me.
Don't know your own cousin's name? =P Darn I feel so old now..
Wished there wasn't any Madrasah on that day, turns out that more than HALF the class wasn't there!
Eek! I avoid downtown when big crowds expected. They freak me out. I love fireworks though. From a distance.
thank you for stopping at my blog and leaving a comment!
Fire works look really beautiful! I wanted to see them!
but is it just me or fireworks is darn toooooo expensive?
Fireworks are great. Checked out some of your art, very nice stuff. Have you tried Cafe Press. Go to my site and click the link under visit my store. You download photos to the site and the show you what they look like on coffe mugs, tee-shirts etc.
Myztika : I didnt go there intentionally, I was there just to go to the esplanade library to borrow some dvd's me and my brother went to Marina Square to have dinner at about 6.30(?) and the entire concrete staircase open area was filled with people.
When we were done eating, it was completely full of bodies that we had to literally push to advance forward. Some people can be so dense actually. Blur-blur stand there and block people who wants to move.
Blage : Awwwww thanks! *hugs* I've tried cafe press before but I found it too limiting – I can only make one customised item. But of course that was years ago, they've probably changed now right?
When I read your name, I was thinking of people being squished together and then the juices extracted to be put in bread and eaten.
hahaha Marina! now that you've mentioned, the groom looks more like Rudie!
thanks for the kinds words, the kids are really deliciously adorable!
Diana : Who? My name?

At this time, I don't know. HarperCollins contracted the first two books in the series, but when it came time to contract the end of the series, we were unable to agree on the terms. As a career author I have to weigh business concerns as well as creative ones. That said, I will finish the Dream Guardians® trilogy! The characters are near and dear to my heart. But when and where, I can't say at this time. Please sign up for my newsletter and I promise to let you know more as soon as I do. Thank you for your support and patience. I'm grateful for every one of the hundreds of letters I've received asking for Book #3.

Snow Bells is a delightful documentary short film by Frank Glencairn, which was filmed at the 2012 Augsburg Christkindl Markt. The Augsburg Christmas Market or Christ Child Market is inspired by a 700-year-old German tradition, with its market streets and churches lined with outdoor festival huts featuring unique handmade crafts and traditional Christkindl treats.
Chump And Clump is an acclaimed, hilariously hallucinogenic animated short film created by Stephan Sacher and Michael Herm at Germany's Talking Animals Animation Studio. Chump and Clump meet at a bus station. Unfortunately, they have just missed their bus, which arrives only once a week. While waiting for the next bus, a bizarre and wonderfully raucous friendship develops, which still manages to prevail when all odds turn against our little heroes. Most of the great fun in this film lies in what Chump and Clump do with their eyes: the expressions in their eyes, the red capillaries when they're hung over, smiling eyes, desperate eyes, sad eyes, crying eyes. Funny, very funny.
