San Diego County fires: 1st death reported in Carlsbad
By ABC7.com staff
VIDEO: 2 arson suspects arrested in Escondido
SAN DIEGO, Calif. (KABC) -- The first death has been reported in connection to the fires burning in San Diego County. Firefighters on Thursday said they found a badly burned body at a transient encampment during a hot spot check in Carlsbad.
The body was discovered in the area of Ambrosia Lane and Calliandra Road. Fire officials say the investigation is ongoing.
Eight of the nine fires in San Diego County have a suspicious ignition point. The fires were not started normally, sources told ABC affiliate KGTV.
On Thursday night, Escondido police arrested two arson suspects, but they do not appear to be related to the large wildfires. Isaiah Silva, 19, and an unidentified 17-year-old were arrested on suspicion of setting two small unrelated fires in the Escondido area, according to KGTV. One of the fires was set in Kit Carson Park and another small fire was set nearby that was quickly put out. Police say they are "not prepared to connect" the two suspects to any of the larger fires across the county.
In total, the brush fires have burned more than 9,000 acres in hot and dry conditions, causing more evacuations and power outages.
The San Diego County Sheriff's Department expanded mandatory evacuations for residents near the "Cocos Fire," which broke out in the city of San Marcos.
Residents from the areas of Questhaven, Harmony Grove and parts of Elfin Forest in San Marcos and neighboring unincorporated areas were asked to evacuate.
On Wednesday, all neighborhoods south of San Marcos Boulevard, including Discovery Hills, Discovery Meadows, Coronado Hills and San Elijo Hills, were asked to evacuate, officials said.
An evacuation shelter was set up at Mission Hills High School. San Marcos Middle School and Escondido High School also reopened as temporary evacuation sites. Small animals are welcome at Mission Hills and Escondido High Schools. Large animals can be taken to Cloverdale Ranch at 2460 Cloverdale Road in Escondido.
The fire has grown to about 1,200 acres and was 10 percent contained as of 6:30 p.m. Thursday. Three homes were destroyed, CAL FIRE officials said.
San Diego County declared a local emergency on Wednesday for the nine fires throughout the area.
SoCal wildfires wreak $20 million in damage
Ten Southern California fires charred more than 15 square miles and caused more than $20 million in damage by Friday.
Fire in Carlsbad destroys homes
Several buildings and homes were destroyed as a 400-acre fire devoured parts of the city of Carlsbad.
The "Poinsettia Fire" erupted in the area of Poinsettia Lane and Alicante Road at about 10:30 a.m. Wednesday. It was 60 percent contained on Thursday morning.
Evacuation orders were lifted Thursday evening for all areas associated with the Poinsettia Fire. More than 15,000 homes and business were ordered to evacuate on Wednesday.
According to an assessment by the city, eight single-family houses, an 18-unit apartment complex, two commercial buildings and a modular building were destroyed by the fire. Three single-family homes sustained minor damage, and an 18-unit apartment building incurred considerable damage.
Commercial vehicles, an outbuilding and two vehicles were also damaged in the fire. Large power outages were also reported.
Anyone with information about the origin of the fire or suspicious activity or persons who may be involved with starting the fires should call (760) 602-7599 or email PoinsettiaFire@carlsbadca.gov.
Camp Pendleton base closes from brush fire
Just north of Carlsbad, the "Tomahawk Fire" that broke out on Naval Weapons Station Fallbrook and spread to Camp Pendleton has burned about 6,300 acres and was at 15 percent containment.
Officials said Thursday afternoon that the Tomahawk Fire has grown past the containment line and was approaching the city of Fallbrook. An evacuation order was issued for Olive Hill Road in Fallbrook between Ladera Vista Road and South Mission Road.
Meantime, another fire broke out at 3:15 p.m. Thursday in the Las Pulgas area. The blaze has grown to 4,000 acres and is moving southwest.
Camp Las Pulgas and Camp Margarita have been ordered to evacuate. Las Pulgas personnel should move north to the School of Infantry parade deck behind the mess hall, building 520430. Margarita personnel should move south to the I MEF parade deck behind Devil Doc Hall, building 210825. Military personnel in the Las Flores Area were also ordered to evacuate.
Officials said one Camp Pendleton Fire Department firefighter suffered heat exhaustion. Forty power lines were damaged and caused power outages to the area.
The naval station's gates were expected to be closed and traffic into Camp Pendleton stopped on Thursday.
A De Luz housing evacuation order was lifted Thursday afternoon.

Spartan Newsroom (https://news.jrn.msu.edu/tag/fisheries/)
Role of inland fisheries often underreported, undervalued, study says
By Capital News Service | April 22, 2016
LANSING — Inland fisheries and aquaculture account for more than 40 percent of the world's reported fish production but their harvest is frequently under-reported and ignored in the Great Lakes region and elsewhere, a new study says. "The central role of inland fish in aquatic ecosystems makes them good indicators of ecosystem change," said the study by scientists at Michigan State University, the U.S. Geological Survey, Carleton University in Canada and the University of Hull in the United Kingdom. Ecosystem change includes threats from agriculture, hydropower projects and deforestation, as well as overfishing and invasive species. Although the study focused primarily on inland fisheries in the developing world, it also addressed the situation in the Great Lakes and the region's inland waters. "Fish respond directly to some environmental stressors such as toxic and thermal pollution, flow change and climate change," according to the first global review of the value of inland fisheries and fish.
One invasive species may have found a niche
By Capital News Service | January 30, 2015
LANSING – Can invasive species be good news – rather than bad – for native fish in the Great Lakes? That sounds counterintuitive, but a new study shows that the invasive round goby has become an important food source for several native species, especially smallmouth bass, but with benefits also for yellow perch and walleye. Even so, there are still unknowns, including whether the round goby transports contaminants up through the food chain, said Derek Crane, the lead author and a research associate at Lake Superior State University. The study calls the round goby "one of the most successful aquatic invaders" in the Great Lakes. It's a bottom-dweller originating in Eurasia.
Spring brings fish stocking, regulation changes
By EDITH ZHOU
LANSING – This year's fishing season is starting on the wheels of stocking trucks, new regulations and programs to attract more participants. The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) said its $9 million program is stocking 19 million fish – 370 tons – including eight trout and salmon species and four cool-water species, including walleye and muskellunge. This year, DNR's fish-stocking vehicles will travel nearly 138,000 miles to more than 700 spots around the state. Christian LeSage, a biologist at DNR's Fisheries Division, said that overall, locations and species don't change much from year to year. However, some locations are not always stocked, and new places are added.


For the first time in years, I bought - and wore - a pair of SHORTS.
The thought was tempting, yet paralyzing at the same time. I hadn't worn shorts in public in, oh, about two or three years now. I generally avoid baring my legs for fear of inviting unwanted stares or comments, innocent or otherwise. It's just too embarrassing, too vulnerable. My swollen leg has been a source of insecurity and shame for as long as I can remember, and to hide it has been the easiest way to avoid those feelings. But no more!
I went to Target with a couple of my girlfriends and grabbed a bunch of shorts off the racks, determined to at least try them on. If I didn't end up buying them, there was some solace in the fact that I had put them on, even for a few minutes. I sifted through my loot in the dressing room: two pairs of denim shorts, and a pair of gray athletic ones. Took a deep breath. Slid on the first pair.
The denim shorts were a no-go, just based on the fact that there were hardly any shorts to speak of. They were tiny! Swollen leg or not, there was no way I was going out in public with half my buttocks exposed. Nope – next!
The athletic shorts were a better option, by far. Comfortable and simple, they seemed the most suited to my needs that weekend of hiking and climbing rocks. But – oh! – my leg. There it was, totally exposed, totally swollen. I had second thoughts about buying the shorts, silently cursing my leg and lymphedema in general. Perhaps I'll suffer through the heat in a pair of yoga pants after all, I thought to myself as I turned in the mirror, eyeing my leg from different angles.
But then I realized that there is no reason to be ashamed of my body, that there is nothing embarrassing or ugly about my leg. Sure, it's a little swollen. So what? It doesn't define me, and it sure as hell shouldn't dictate whether or not I wear shorts or dresses when I want to. Just because I don't have shapely gams does not mean I am less of a person. Who I am is much deeper than my physical appearance, and my worth and value are not contingent on whether or not my foot will fit into the latest footwear trends. I think this is something that every lymphie must acknowledge about themselves, because it is so easy to slip into self-doubt and shame over our condition. Yes, it's okay to have bad days where we wallow a little bit – but the key phrase there is "a little bit." If we get sucked into the cycle of feeling bad about ourselves, we'll never get out. It's best to embrace ourselves every day, with love and gentleness and care. And we can't be afraid to be ourselves, either – swollen bits and all!
So, I bought the shorts, and I wore them not only on the hikes but during our forays into downtown Sedona, too. It was liberating and I felt empowered to finally take the plunge and wear them again. I noticed a couple people looking at my leg, but I ignored it. I'm not going to apologize for or explain my leg; it is what it is, and it's not going anywhere anytime soon! Best to embrace it, and keep moving forward.
What are your latest lymphedema milestones? Or do you have any that you are hoping to accomplish?
Climbing around Cathedral Rock in Sedona.
Your story is so amazing!! That is such an incredible milestone.
My milestone is finally being able to fit into ankle high boots and now having the option of wearing heels at work.
I still need to work up the courage to wear shorts but your story has inspired me and gives me hope of a somewhat 'normal' life in the summer!
Congratulations again and btw I would never have known which leg had the lymphoedema if you hadn't pointed it out!
That's a huge milestone! Congrats to you, Dee, and here's to many more milestones to come!
Thank you for the reblog, Helen!
Hello, Sherry. I wasn't wearing a stocking because the one I currently have is old and doesn't have much compression anymore – I need a new one desperately. I probably should be wearing one, though, because it would have helped move the fluid a lot better during the hike!
ALso, how di the heat affect the swelling? Weren't you afraid of getting cellulitis from a cut or scratch hiking?
The heat wasn't too bad, actually. I think because I kept moving that it helped keep the fluid from "settling"; if I were sitting in the heat and not moving around, then the swelling probably would have been worse. And I was mindful of scratches and cuts while hiking, avoiding the cacti and thorny bushes during the hike. That's a good point, though – I was being a little reckless by not wearing a garment.
When I first contracted lymphedema after surgery in which lymph nodes were removed and radiation followed (now 8 years) I was told to wear bandages at night ( I now wear a compression garment) to reduce the swelling and a compresion stocking during the day to keep the leg from swelling. Consequently you can not see much difference in the two legs. Please get new stockings with 30-40 compression Alexa. I wear boots and high heels (with slacks)but always the stocking. Also. because lymph is mostly protein and so close to the surface, any scratch or cut can get infected quickly and develop celulitis. This can be deadly. I was hospitalized for four days with intraveneous antibiotics due to celulitis so that's why I caution about bare legs!
Outstanding, Alexa. Absolutely a "watershed" moment when we decide we are not defined by our lymphedema; we are who we are in so many complex and delightful ways. So wear those shorts. I love it that you've made this plunge. Now, my young friend, about those garments? Are you doing okay without the daytime compression? And if you do wear garments outside, be careful on hikes that you don't rub against some rocks. I've "dinged" a few garments over the years but that's a small price to pay for the freedom of being you.
And you do rock (yeah, I know there's a rocky reference or "pun" in there somewhere).
Wearing shorts is so liberating! My next step is getting fitted for a new garment and wearing shorts and (gasp!) maybe some short dresses with the garment exposed. It's a huge fear of mine but I am looking forward to overcoming it once I get fitted for a new garment. Props to you for wearing shorts! That's awesome!
Awesome i have to wear 30-40mmhg waist highs also.
Thank you for sharing your experience. I go through the same thing whenever there is a river trip in canyon country. You look radiant in those red rocks. Thanks for the help.
Fabulous! You look great! The other night going out to dinner I took my armsleeve off in public for the first time in over a year. It was very freeing. Little moments!!
Sometimes it's those little moments that help us get through the bigger ones!
Thank you Manuela! Hope you're doing well!
What a fantastic post! Alexa, you show courage in so many ways: Courage to live your life the way you choose without fear, courage to be you, courage to share your thoughts with everyone. You speak the words we've often felt but stuffed down trying to put on a brave face.
I am acutely aware of the size difference in my legs, though people might say they don't see a difference to look at me. I used to cringe at the thought of getting into a bathing suit, but once in the water, feel an indescribable freedom.
First off, you have lovely legs!
Thank you for sharing some of that wonderful Sedona sunshine, and the beauty of Arizona coupled with your courageous and very encouraging words.
What a beautiful, touching response, Jen, thank you! It really is an awesome feeling once you say "eff it" and go forward with your life without worrying about what other people may think about your lymphedema. Some days it's easier than others, but whenever I do it, I feel great. I feel like me.
Proud just doesn't cover it…INSPIRED is more like it!!!!
My happiness for you came out in the form of tears when Daddy read your post to me. There is nothing you can't accomplish in this life, Alexa.
Thanks, Mom!! I love you and Dad so much – thank you for all your encouragement over the years to help me be me. I get my strength from your love.
Thanks for your story. It's nice to know I'm not the only one who tried hiding my legs from the world. I have it in both legs and I live in Texas. I never wore shorts due to being embarrassed. I had a terrible accident last July where my leg was ripped open and due to the wound I was forced to wear shorts. I still am healing and I am still wearing shorts. It's so nice to have them on but I still get embarrassed and self conscious. There have been times I was like this is me and I don't care what others say but I found myself yesterday uncomfortable about my shorts weAring after I left my dr apt and then errand running. My husband and I were going to have lunch somewhere but I didn't want to go because I had shorts on. Thank you for reminding me I'm not alone in lymphedema.
Wow, thank you for sharing your story! It's great to hear that you're wearing shorts and fighting through the embarrassment. I totally understand where you're coming from – some days are easier than others – but every day you overcome that and wear the shorts, you're giving yourself the freedom to be yourself. You're never alone in this! Be well.
Your legs look beautiful. What a wonderful milestone wearing shorts!
Your legs look great and wonderful that you are hiking! It is inspiring… My leg does not look so bad eather but even when i get in the shower it gets swollen very fast. During summee the garment is so hot but i dont dare to take them of cus it would blow up immediately…You dont have problems with tgis? Thanks for your post!
Mine gets swollen in the shower, too – I love hot showers, but my leg definitely does not! Thank you for the comment, although I'm not sure what you mean by "tgis." Sorry!
Hi Alexa, have you ever tried any of the sport compression socks? http://www.compressionguru.com/sport/womens/running-fitness-socks Tons out there now, some are ok for lymphedema some aren't great. They've become popular so no one knows if you're wearing them for lymphedema or just because you like them. Get in touch with me with your measurements and I'll send you a pair.
Your legs look tiny!! :) I have lymphadema in my left leg. I haven't had the courage to wear shorts let alone mini skirts for years and I'm only 19! It's really annoying as i have quite a bit of swelling on my knee and upper thigh. Do you exercise lots?

Marine 'Urban Warriors' Meet Bay Area Protests
By WILLIAM WOLFE
OAKLAND, Calif.-Under the guise of providing "humanitarian aid and disaster relief" to the beleaguered masses, the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps "Urban Warriors" sailed, hovercrafted, and humveed themselves into the San Francisco Bay Area March 15-21.
They planned to "penetrate, thrust, and swarm" into the "urban littorals" of Oakland's Oak Knoll Hospital and the former Alameda Naval Air Station in war games designed to train U.S. soldiers in the art of eliminating local hostile elements in the event of possible future social unrest.
According to Urban Warrior strategists, over 70 percent of the world's population will be congregated in cities close to large bodies of water by the year 2025-cities containing "all the ingredients for conflict."
"Many areas will have scarce resources, including the most basic ones like food and shelter. As populations grow and resources shrink even further, the chances for conflict will naturally grow with it."
The war exercise was originally slated to take place on the shores of San Francisco's historic Presidio Army Base, but it was cancelled after objections by environmental groups and the National Park Service.
Later, Oakland Mayor Jerry Brown took the Marine Corps' bait when the promise of an infusion of approximately $4.5 million into the local economy was dangled in front of his eyes.
In spite of weeks of organized protests by local activists, a few city council members, and the birth of the Coalition Against Urban Warrior-as well as a takeover of the Oakland mayor's City Hall office by a group of local high school students, which resulted in about 20 arrests-the exercises commenced as scheduled.
The Marines held a week-long military warfest in the Oakland area, which included some 14 waves of hovercraft landings, 40 aircraft overflights, and the detonation of 60 "flashbang" grenades and 24,000 rounds of extremely loud machine gun fire.
The public was invited to observe the daily events, which finally culminated in a gala event at Jack London Square on the Oakland waterfront, complete with Marine Marching Band, Precision Military Drill Team, U.S. Armed Forces recruitment booths, and a multi-billion-dollar, protester-dubbed "Weapons Petting Zoo"!
But no word yet has come of the military's making good on its promise of a $4.5 million boost to downtown Oakland's economy.

A Sneaker's Carbon Footprint: The Anatomy Of A Sneaker
Charushi
They're called Runners in Australia, Trainers in Britain, Tennis Shoes, or more common term sneakers, in the U.S.A. These rubber souled casual looking shoes are worn by billions of people all around the world. Sneakers were originally invented in the late 19th century. These simple canvas and rubber shoes have changed a lot since then.
Currently, sneaker consumption is at an all time high, especially in the united states where a person purchases an average of three pairs of sneakers per year. To meet this demand, approximately 23 billion shoes are manufactured per year, most of these are produces in China and parts of South-East Asia. But, making shoes has become more complicated, more labor-intensive, and in some ways, more dangerous for the workers involved and for our planet.
Shoe manufacturing accounts for roughly 1/5th of our fashion industry's carbon emissions. Sneakers alone generate 313 million metric tons of carbon dioxide every year and this is equal to the annual emission of 66 million cars.
The heel, insole, midsole, and upper layer of a sneaker are made of synthetic textiles like polyester, nylon, latex, or polyurethane. Mining the fossil fuels that make up these materials emits tons of various greenhouse gases and processing those raw ingredients into synthetic material also uses a lot of energy.
Some of the sneaker tops are made from natural textiles, such as leather, but tanning of these relies on chromium, a carcinogenic chemical that can damage freshwater ecosystems. The outsoles of a sneaker are made from rubber that has gone through a process called vulcanization. In this process, sulfur is added to the superheated raw rubber to create a material that's both elastic and sturdy.
Until recently, sneakers used natural rubber for this process but now most outer soles are made from the synthetic blend of natural rubber and byproducts from coal and oil. Producing these materials accounts for 20% of a sneaker's carbon footprint. But more than 60% of its carbon impact comes from its manufacturing process.
A typical sneaker is comprised of 65 discrete parts, each of which is produced by specialized machinery. This means that it is cheaper for factories to mass-produce each piece separately rather than manufacturing every part under one roof. But the transportation required to ship these pieces to one assembly plant emits even more carbon dioxide.
Once the components arrive at the assembly line, they undergo cutting, pouring, melting, baking, cooling, and gluing before the final products can be stitched together. The assembly of a typical sneaker requires more than 360 steps and this accounts for the remaining 20% of a sneaker's environmental impact.
The dispersion of factories fuels one more problem as well: Labor Abuse. Most brands do not own or operate their factories. So, the plants they work with are in countries with little to no worker protection laws. As a result, many workers earn below the living wage.
They are also exposed to harmful chemicals like toxic glue fumes. When manufacturing is complete, the shoes are packed and distributed in stores around the world. For many, these shoes could last years, but for someone running 20 miles a week, a pair of these running shoes would start wearing out after roughly 6 months.
Since the shoes are made from so many different materials, they are almost impossible to break down into recyclable components. Around 20% of these shoes are incinerated while the rest are tossed into landfills where they can take up to a thousand years to degrade.
So how can we balance our love for Sneakers with the need for sustainability?
There are a few ways we could reduce the number of carbon emissions emitted by the sneakers industry. First, the designers should streamline the design elements and focus on eco-friendly materials. Factories need to develop energy-efficient manufacturing processes that consolidate steps and sneaker parts.
Adidas Parley eco-friendly sneakers
We, as consumers, need to support companies that use clean energy and ethical manufacturing processes. We can also buy fewer shoes, wear them for longer, and donate those we no longer need. So no matter what our style is, we can all take steps towards a sustainable future.

The Pandemic May Be Affecting Your Memory
Research demonstrates our memories are not as accurate as we believe.
While most people think their memories represent the truth, the evidence demonstrates that our memories depend very much on the circumstances we are experiencing at the time and that they shift over time. A large body of research shows that emotions, especially those provoked by negative events, can lead to inaccurate or even completely false memories.
Depression, anxiety, and stress—three mental health problems linked to the COVID-19 pandemic—consistently lead to false memories, said Charles Brainerd, a Cornell University psychologist and one of the world's leading experts in false memories. "Continuously being in a dark mood makes it difficult to remember the details of your life," he said. "Things that substantially elevate people's stress levels lead to poor encoding of events as we experience them, which in turn elevates false memories."
Brainerd and his research partner, Cornell psychologist Valerie Reyna, have developed the fuzzy-trace theory of false memory, which says that there are two types of memory: verbatim and gist.
Verbatim memory is a vivid, literal record of specific details. Gist memories are fuzzy recollections of past events, which capture their meaning and have a much more powerful influence over longer periods of time. In other words, if you are remembering an event from a year ago, you are more likely to rely on the gist of what happened than remember specific details. False memories occur when your brain attempts to fill in the blanks of a gist memory.
"Fuzzy-trace theory predicts people who experience persistent negative moods are at elevated risk of forming false memories because the memories are distorted to fit a negative take on life," Brainerd said. "Prolonged levels of high stress from continuing financial, educational, and social uncertainty are a major cause of persistent negative moods. Thanks to the uncertainties of the COVID-19 pandemic, the entire country has been experiencing such prolonged levels of high stress for many months. Worse, those uncertainties have been heightened by the lack of clear federal policies to contain the pandemic."
There is another dynamic taking place this year that may also lead to false memories—the increasing incidence of misleading or false news stories.
A recent study by Irish researchers, which included more than 3,700 participants, examined how fabricated news stories about COVID-19 affected the accuracy of participants' memories about the virus itself. People who were able to objectively assess knowledge about COVID-19 were less likely to create false memories and more likely to tell the difference between true and false stories.
On the other hand, participants who believed themselves to be very knowledgeable about COVID-19 were more likely to report a memory for any story, true or false. Those who reported high levels of "media engagement" or anxiety about COVID-19 were more likely to recall both true and false stories, but also demonstrated heightened sensitivity to the difference between true and false stories. Surprisingly, participants who felt more anxious about the pandemic were less likely to report false memories.
The researchers concluded that a person's knowledge about COVID-19 and his or her tendency to think critically are important indicators as to whether or not they create false memories related to the pandemic.
The take-home message: Our memories are malleable and our circumstances have a surprisingly important effect on them. The experiences of the COVID-19 pandemic—including social distancing, isolation, and anxiety about the virus—are all elements affecting our memories during this time.

NATIONWIDE EDUCATION AND SCHOLARSHIP TEST (N.E.S.T.) is a co-operative and collaborative effort to help out students who have commitment and determination and who display signs of excellence in their studies. With NEST initiative, it is tried to allow the exceptionally gifted and promising students to pursue their studies tension-free and without the worries of financial constraints. However, to achieve their goal, they need to undergo the standard test of NEST every year. Thus, if they perform to a certain level of excellence in the NEST, they are not only accorded with accolades and recognition by awarding them Appreciation Certificates by the hands of a renowned person of knowledge, art or enterprise, but they are also given Cash Awards of substantial amount. The main purpose of NEST is to inspire, encourage, help and guide students to perform better in their academics.
NEST has evolved and improvised in the last few years. We are putting our best efforts to achieve increased awareness of this scheme of scholarships among all students throughout the country. Though, due to currently limited resources, SEMCI can take NEST to only a few major cities this year, viz. Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai, Chennai and other State Capitals of the country as mentioned in our advertisements. But, it has ambitious plans to reach out to all big and small cities and towns of India to benefit the entire community of students at all levels of education and in all disciplines of all colleges, institutes and universities of the country very soon in the near future.
SPONSORSHIPS are sought from business firms, NGOs, trusts and other organisations and individuals to promote this noble mission by advertising their brands and products through our publicity tools like, posters, banners, website, e-mails and all other print material passing to students all over India. Sponsors get their names, logos and URLs appear in all our publicity materials as well as on our website. The bookings for NEST start from as early as in June every year, wherein the early birds get some extra benefits.

Ford motion dismissal shameful – Sydney Casely-Hayford
The Speaker of Parliament's action of not allowing Parliament to debate a motion to probe President John Mahama for accepting a Ford gift from a Burkinabe contractor before rejecting it was a disservice to the people of Ghana, Sydney Casely-Hayford, a member of pressure group OccupyGhana has stated.
Mr Edward Doe Adjaho threw out the motion of inquiry filed by Minority legislators on Thursday, 1 September, explaining that the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ), a constitutional body, is already investigating the case.
In dismissing the motion, Mr Adjaho told the house "after a careful study of the correspondence from CHRAJ, I have come to the conclusion that the matter is not different in material, in particular from the matter under investigation by CHRAJ."
But Mr Casely-Hayford argues that the presidency has already acknowledged receipt of the Ford Expedition SUV car which a statement from Communication Minister Edward Boamah indicated was accepted and added to the pool of vehicles at the presidency.
He explained on Citi FM's news analysis programme 'The Big Issue' on Saturday September 3 that the issue at hand is to determine whether the gift "influenced the presidency" to offer Mr Djibril Kanazoe contracts to execute.
He believes the issue of "accountability is important for citizens which is the main issue at hand and was pitiful and shameful for the Speaker not to allow a discussion" on the merits and details of the motion.
According to him, Ghanaians have a right to know if there was any linkage between the car gift and the contract and so just dismissing the case does not serve the interest of well-meaning Ghanaians.
Even though he holds the opinion that an impeachment would not have been possible because of the political polarity in parliament, he feels the issue was an important one and the minority should have been given an opportunity to present their case through a debate.

The sensor detects hand movements and turns the tap on or off.To operate simply put your hands in front of the sensor. Remove your hands and the tap will automatically turn itself off again after a few seconds.
Click here to see our sensor taps FAQ & Video!
Q. What are sensor taps?
A. Sensor taps are taps that do not require you to touch them in order to activate them, you meerly need to pass you hands in front of the sensor to start the tap.
Q. Why should I choose a sensor tap?
A. Sensor taps are incredibly hygienic as well as being ultra modern. They alleviate the need to have to touch a germy tap surface or grasp slippery handles with wet hands, as they are activated by motion or by something (ie your hand!) interrupting the infrared light. The downside is that these taps are usually significantly more exensive than a standard tap.
A. There is not a huge range of different styles with these taps as they have to incorporate the sensor, however most of the styles of these taps are contemporary.
Q. Will I need anything else to go with my sensor tap?
A. Some of the taps you may need to purchase power supplies for, however if you are unsure as to what you are purchasing check the advert carefully as these should advise of additional items that need to be purchased.
Q. Are sensor taps sutable for use in a cloakroom bathroom?
A. There is no reason why one of these taps wouldn't be suitable for use in a cloakroom or smaller bathroom, however you just need to make sure that the tap will not be too big for your basin.

Q: How do I build a Fully Convolutional Neural Network in Keras? I am working with Keras and when attempting to implement a FCNN with a similar architecture to VGG, I get the error:

TypeError: img must be 4D tensor

Here is my code for the FCNN:
def buildmodel():

opt = RMSprop(lr=0.001, rho=0.9, epsilon=1e-6)
model = Model(input=inputs, output=outputs)
model.compile(loss='hinge', optimizer=opt)
model.fit(x)

x has a shape (nsamples,3,64,64). When using the VGG model verbatim in Keras with fully connected layers, there seemed to be no problem, so I'm confused as to how the new architecture is causing problems with the image shape.

Pope Francis Should Lift Abortion Bans to Fight Zika
Pope Francis waves to the faithful as he arrives at St. Peter's Square for a meeting with members of 'Padre Pio' Prayer Groups in Vatican City on Feb. 6, 2016.
Franco Origlia—Getty Images
By Jon O'Brien
Jon O'Brien is the head of Catholics for Choice, a pro-choice Catholic nonprofit.
Much has been made of Pope Francis and his emphasis on mercy and compassion in interpreting church teaching as a breath of fresh air for the Catholic church. The escalating international public health crisis over the Zika virus gives Pope Francis an unprecedented opportunity to put his words into action to help some of the world's poorest women.
The Zika epidemic has now spread to more than 25 countries in Pope Francis' home region of Latin America and the Caribbean. This has prompted the World Health Organization to declare it a "public health emergency of international concern"—only the fourth time it has used this designation. WHO predicts up to 4 million cases of the mosquito-borne illness this year. While it is not yet been proven, Zika is thought to cause a birth defect known as microcephaly, which causes babies to be born with abnormally small heads. Brazil alone has seen a surge of 4,000 reported cases of the devastating disability, which can cause severe cognitive and developmental impairment.
With no known treatment for the disorder, health officials in El Salvador have cautioned women in that country to avoid getting pregnant for the next two years. But due to the Catholic hierarchy's prohibition on modern methods of contraception and its continued political influence, birth control remains difficult to access in El Salvador and many neighboring countries, especially for poor women. The Guttmacher Institute estimates that more than 50% of pregnancies in the region are unintended, which means that many women don't have the ability to postpone pregnancies even if they wanted to.
Recognizing the futility of recommending women who have no access to reproductive health services not get pregnant, on Feb. 5, the U.N. recommended that Latin American countries "ensure women, men and adolescents have access to comprehensive and affordable quality sexual and reproductive health services and information, without discrimination," including safe abortion, to fight the epidemic.
Since the church's prohibition on contraception is wholly political, Pope Francis could lift it if he wanted to. Back in 1963, Pope John XXIII created a papal birth control commission to advise him on lifting the ban on modern forms of contraception. By the time the commission finished its multi-year deliberations, Pope John was dead and Pope Paul VI had succeeded him. The birth control commission told Pope Paul its conclusions: that there was no theological reason the birth control ban couldn't be lifted, and doing away with the prohibition was more in keeping with the modern realities of marriage. But influenced by hardliners in the Vatican, who feared an erosion of their moral authority, Pope Paul kept the ban in place by issuing the encyclical Humanae Vitae.
Of course, most Catholics around the world use and approve of modern methods of contraception. A global poll of Catholics conducted by Univision in 2014 found that 78% of all Catholics support modern birth control, as did 91% of Catholics in Latin America. In reaction, the leaders of the Catholic church have used their political influence in developing countries and at the U.N. to block access to contraception for the only population they can control—poor women who are largely dependent on publicly funded family-planning programs.
Pope Francis has an opportunity to reverse this injustice when he visits Mexico next week. If Francis wants a church that is truly pastoral rather than political, one that lifts up the poor, he can start by lifting the ban on birth control that falls so harshly on the women of Mexico and Central and South America.
But even lifting the hierarchy's ban on birth control, while long overdue, won't be sufficient to meet the needs of women in regions suffering from the Zika epidemic. Public health authorities have recommended additional ultrasound screening for pregnant women, but that can only tell them if their fetus is potentially suffering from microcephaly. What options are available for women infected with the virus who are already pregnant—or will inevitably become pregnant—where abortion is largely criminalized?
Nine of the affected countries in the region have restrictive or highly restrictive abortion laws, according to Guttmacher. The Dominican Republic, El Salvador and Nicaragua provide no legal access to abortion under any circumstances, and an additional six countries in the region only allow abortion to save a woman's life.
In Brazil, the country most affected by the outbreak, abortion is legal only in cases of rape, when a woman's life is endangered, and in cases of a severe fetal brain malformation known as anencephaly. As a result, there are an estimated 850,000 illegal abortions in the country each year, and some 200,000 women seek treatment for botched abortions. Again, it is poor women who suffer the most at the hands of unscrupulous illegal abortion providers.
While policymakers in Brazil have started to reexamine the strict abortion laws because of the virus, the Catholic hierarchy remains intransigent on the issue of abortion in Brazil, no matter what the circumstance. In 2009, the Brazilian bishops attempted to prevent an abortion for a 9-year-old girl pregnant with twins after being raped by her stepfather. The hierarchy has similarly vowed to oppose any legalization of abortion prompted by the Zika virus, with one local bishop telling the New York Times: "Nothing justifies an abortion."
But many Catholic theologians, as well as Catholic moral history, would disagree. Progressive Catholic theologians argue that abortion can be justified under a range of situations, such as severe fetal deformity, and that traditional Catholic teaching about conscience gives women the final moral authority over the abortion decision. Catholics themselves widely recognize this moral authority. The Univision poll found that almost two-thirds of Catholics worldwide say abortion should be allowed in some or all circumstances, as did nearly three-quarters of Catholics in Latin America.
What the Catholic faithful recognize is that abortion, like contraception, is part of the continuum of women's healthcare. As such, the Zika virus is merely highlighting an issue that was critical for Latin American women even before the emergence of the virus. Access to appropriate reproductive health care will remain essential, even if a vaccine or other prevention measures eventually prove successful against the Zika crisis.
Pope Francis has talked about the Catholic church being a field hospital for the wounded. But hospitals provide the care their patients need; they don't withhold it in an ill-conceived attempt to bend morality to the bishops' dictates. Now is the time for Francis to show the compassion he preaches and use his trip to Mexico to be a pastoral, not political, pope.

Summer of Darkness: Investigating Film Noir
Daily Dose of Darkness #4: Over a Barrel (The Opening Scene of Dark Passage)
By kevroy7,
June 4, 2015 in Summer of Darkness: Investigating Film Noir
RayH
First of all to capture the POV shots on what appears to be a hand held camera, at a time where there was no STEADICAM, is an astonishing achievement. There had to be a massive undertaking packed with planning every moment of the process.
The viewer is right in the thick of things, like it or not. We are all an accomplice to the scape convict. We get to feel his fears, and excitements for better or worst.
One of the most thrilling openning sequences of all noirs, and a very unique film.
I have seen this film many times and it gets better with each viewing.

I love all the films starring Lauren Bacall and Humphrey Bogart. Their chemistry on screen is delicious. Bacall is exquisitely beautiful and she commands attention whenever she is on screen. I did enjoy the 1st person POV in the opening car scene, because all you heard was Bogart's voice, & that was identity enough. My husband loved the POV when he hit the driver, it did feel like we were there. Anything that can get my husband to enjoy more film noir is cool with me. I enjoyed the "reveal" more, when you matched the distinctive voice with the face. I really love this summer course for film noir fans. Because if any of them are like me, we like to discuss movies. I have a "pause for commentary" moment, at least once during a movie when I view it at home. #NoirSummer

Dark Passage--I agree with a lot of what people have said about POV. It's effective for a while and then can get in the way. "Lady in the Lake" gives you a breather for a second when you see them in a mirror, it's almost jolting because to my recollection it happens only once in that film. In the opening of "Dark Passage," the jumping back and forth between POV and 3rd-person camera at first confused but then enlightened. He's all alone, but is he? When it switches to 3rd-person I got the feeling that someone else is watching. We, the audience. We're in on it, too. Cool. Beautiful print. I see that the director, Delmer Daves, also wrote the screenplay. An auteur, unusual in those days, and his enthusiasm for his project shows in every frame. There's something very exciting about the energy surrounding these setups. They must have been challenging at the time and they come off as if they are fashioned out of love for one's art. This is another one I haven't seen. I look forward to it.

I kept thinking about the POV in relation to Bogey's character. He is a man on the run. His face is recognizable. We get that sense of being on the lamb because we, as audience, have his face. The POV adds the tension of being someone recognized who is on the run. It is almost a commentary on ownership of image and self, in some way. Something happens when the bandages come off. Bogey's character no longer has any connection to his face and, therefore, we are cut from that relationship, as well. I apologize that I may not be explaining this as well as I'd like. I was up late last night watching film noir on TCM.

The use of POV always seems to divide viewers. Some find in distracting others dislike it. It reminded me of Lady in the Lake.

I did like the opening, but felt that it could have been edited down some after Parry emerges from the tunnel. The dialogue with the driver was a little unrealistic for me in that nobody peppers someone with that many questions after just meeting them. Dark Passage is based on a novel by David Goodis, who used 3rd POV for narrative strategy in the novel. The film was also considered the precursor to The Fugitive, which led to a lawsuit between the Goodis Estate and the studio. While I like the Bogie and Bacall chemistry, the real star for me in this movie is Agnes Moorehead.

If it were any other actor portraying an escaped prisoner, I doubt I would feel so eager for him to succeed. Knowing it's Bogie, even before the transition from first person back to third person point of view, makes me root for him even as he's punching the innocent driver of the car he's trying to hitch a ride in. That guy was pretty annoying, but it's not like he deserved to be attacked. And yet, because I'm on Bogie's side, I condone that violence and actually derive some joy out of it. Some of which may be a direct result of how fake the hitting is. That's good for a laugh.
I also like how we are able to see parts of the car that aren't often shown - the floorboards, the radio. It really helps to give a deeper sense of how people lived in that time. People with the luxury of automobiles of course.

The opening is interesting but grows weary after a few minutes. I like the rolling barrel shot and the brief scene where he is walking through the brush. But shortly thereafter it grows weaker by the minute until Bacall shows up. At least then there is something to view. (very poor plot construction here--she just shows up as he is about to whack the guy--which would be out of character since he is not a murderer).
After viewing Lady in the Lake which had been released the previous year, this technique could not have seemed unique. Bogart's voice is very distinctive so the viewer can picture his face despite the POV used. Of course, the narration is distinctly noir as the movie develops. I love the connection between Bogart and Bacall. This surely creates the dynamic which allows the film to resonate among its viewers. Honestly though, I do not sense a huge noir feel to this film. Narration, men with hats, flimsy shallow criminal characters, and the great Agnes Moorehead, but otherwise what? Ok, a wronged man and some creepy characters, but we have two characters who end up together in that Hollywood way that is anti-noir to say the least.
Things to love about the film--Bogey/Bacall, San Francisco views, the death scenes where characters fall from heights
Don't get me wrong. This is a film worthy of watching, but it seems to lack the same angst and near total depression of so many of the classic noir films.
I thought the film that followed, Woman on the Run, had many more noir characteristics than this one.

It's so amaizing to discover that a tecnique like POV was used so long ago, while i was thinking that it was contemporary... So so wrong! This is why i love film history.
As a fan of the subjective camera approach to Robert Montgomery's LADY IN THE LAKE (1946), the opening of DARK PASSAGE, and indeed the first section of the film until Parry gets a new face, fascinates me more than the remainder of the story. The opening creates a tension that draws the viewer into the film as we await the complications that will arise for Parry in his desperate prison break. POV of this kind was not popular with studio executives who felt LADY IN THE LAKE, mostly, and to my mind, effectively shot in this manner, was a stunt that didn't work. It wasn't greeted with much enthusiasm at Warner Brothers for this reason, but Delmer Daves got away with it because it only constituted a portion of the plot, leaving us with a lot of Bogart and Bacall, one of DARK PASSAGE's main selling points. It would be used, however sparingly, in other noirs as a means of bringing us into the mind of the protagonist, along with the requisite voiceover narration to establish the scene and mood. That's where the opening of DARK PASSAGE serves in introducing us to a noir situation and prolonging the unusual set-up. Even after Parry, whose face is never seen except in newspaper photos, emerges with a new map (Bogart's) and name (Allan Linnell), Daves preserves the mood with well-lit and moody scenes that contrast with brilliant location shooting (the final battle with the slimy would-be blackmailer, well-played by Clifton Young). Subjective camera use can be traced back as far as 1934, when Edgar G. Ulmer used it (and Boris Karloff's voice) for an effective scene in the Universal horror thriller THE BLACK CAT.

Using first person in the scene makes us more invested in the character, takes away our judgment, and puts us in the position of being "on his side" from the outset. If it had been a simple camera shot showing him, we would be disconnected from him personally and forced to make judgments about his escaping San Quentin. Instead it puts us right in the middle of the action, concerned about what will happen next.
At first it is uncomfortable because we are not used to it, but when we start to hear his thoughts out loud, it really pulls together and creates the drama that would fall flat if we were watching objectively.
Nicely done.
I especially love the sign over the driver's head showing the directions to San Francisco and San Quentin as he hears the radio broadcast and he realizes who he has picked up. He stares at Bogey's character, but in reality he is staring right at us.
jlboldrick
What has always struck me about DARK PASSAGE is the tension between the noir mood and its sunny opposite. The denizens of the noir world are often existentially alone, but here they can't seem to escape each other's friendly embrace.
Vincent is a lone, hunted animal as the story begins, but is almost immediately helped by Irene. His old friend George also assists him almost without hesitation. They both feel a strong connection to him, but Vincent is even helped out at first sight by Sam the cabby, and the shady Dr. Coley. Irene, George and Sam all proclaim how lonely and friendless they are, but in fact everyone seems to make human connections, even risky ones, at the drop of a hat. Even the hood Baker's malevolence keeps veering off into toothy, chatty camaraderie.
When Vincent hides in Irene's bedroom, he eavesdrops as Irene, Madge and Bob squabble over a tangled web of personal connections and obligations. At the bus station in the final scenes, he overhears a chance conversation between a hard-luck single mother and a down & out loner; by the time the driver calls "All aboard," they are practically married. Only the detective in the diner seems to offer Vincent no solace, but even he is at least polite. Only Madge (a wonderful performance by Agnes Moorehead), frisky but bitter and impulsive, seems truly an island.

Okay, before I say anything I just need to state that the sound was not fully functioning on my computer so I couldn't hear the dialogue very well. I felt this was a truly successful use of 1st person POV, though I would have preferred entire first person. They left us in the barrel for a little bit while he took his shirt off and I would have liked the entire thing in this filming style. I also liked voice over in the head, which obviously needed to be done with the POV. I really liked the sounds of the police before seeing them. We're not sure what was going on but we know that we don't want the police involved.
The hardest job of any film is to immediately tease the audience with what is to come in its opening and to inform us about the setting and characters. As we've seen this week, each of these films has definitely gone about doing just that in interesting and innovative ways. Part of the allure of film noir is seemingly ordinary people and places overcome by darkness and menace. In order to thoroughly invest in that story, we need to be able to relate and empathize with the protagonist. In La Bete Humaine, we see the professionalism and short-hand of the engineers, becoming entranced by their world as the locomotive passes across the countrywide. In The Dark Passage, how does one relate to an escaped prisoner on the run after having been found guilty of killing his wife? We may get the story later of what happened but we don't want to bog the opening down in exposition. Simplest answer: we go on the run with him.
This is where the point-of-view shots become a golden opportunity. As we are in Bogart's shoes as he ducks and covers in his desperate escape, the tension and emotions are increased immensely. We feel the unease of being question by a passing motorist who gives us a ride. We are unable to break his quizzical gaze as he slowly figures out we are not what we seem. By the time we hear that this man was found guilty of murder, is it too late. We are one. We cheer as we beat down this interloper who is a threat to our freedom, immune to his cries of mercy.
This was a risky venture. Having Bogart alone as the escaped prisoner might have been enough to win enough audience sympathy to give this man the benefit of the doubt, but the choice to develop this relationship via POV makes for a more thrilling and intense experience. I own this film as a part of the Bogey and Bacall Collection, and to be honest I thought it could not get any better than To Have and Have Not and The Big Sleep but this turned out to be my favorite of the bunch. I know I'm a little late but I hope everyone had a chance to see it yesterday or will grab the chance when it re-airs at a later date. It's well worth a viewing.

The thing I like about the opening scene of Dark Passage is the conflict between hiding and running as strategies to avoid detection. In order to get out of San Quentin, Humphrey Bogart's character has to hide in a barrel. in the barrel, Bogart is hidden from view, but he is vulnerable. He cannot escape if he is detected. Out of the barrel, Bogart is free to get as far away from his pursuers as possible, but he is out in the open where he can be detected. We see in a lot of film noir this push-pull between hiding and running. The person trying to avoid detection (a fugitive, an escapee, the wrongly-accused) looks for a safe haven to hide out - but he cannot hide out forever, or he has merely traded one prison for another. I find this tension - whether to run or hide - in a lot of Bogart films. Which Bogie film pops into mind for you?

Hm m m m . . . I'm not sure I liked the shifts in point of view, but once Daves established the first person point of view when the voice-over kicked in and the camera work moved along with it, it was fine—what would have happened had the director added a few seconds and had the main character peeking up over the barrel, the barrel tipping and rolling, and then our seeing the lettering when Bogart is out of it?
The interrogations by the driver were very effective in building suspense. We don't really want to identify with the escaped, possibly wife-murderer, but we do and hope he survives that questioning (which he does, violently). The voice-over is a good way to get the viewer into the story while maintaining the questions we have about who did what—he is not a fully reliable narrator because he has no distance or objectivity. Some first person narrators do better than others (Fred MacMurry, for example, in Double Indemnity, even though we watch him bumble around, unaware of what any film-goer or fully mature human being) would know); but we don't know the situation, yet.
The beginning of the film requires some extra-filmic information for us to make sense of it (how much an audience is supposed to know is always an interesting question)—even though we don't stop to think about it: 1. We all know what San Quentin is (although we need a sign and some dialogue to tell us where, exactly, it is, which matters, here; 2. We recognize Humphrey Bogart's voice, and no filmmaker could pretend, otherwise—always a complication in movie-making. We can see the remoteness of the setting, which is typical of film noir, but this is (at this point) a brightly-llt film; some of this is compensated for by the key-hole shots and framing when the main character is running away (who is seeing this?). So we have typical noir elements, as well as the voice-over/first person point of view: remoteness, alienation, and here, the "key-hole" shot from inside the barrel. Underlying these first-person noir films is the question of why the narrator is telling us all this—are we supposed to walk away from them knowing more, or knowing other, or eventually sympathizing with the narrator, or simply being reminded that nothing is what it seems to be, especially when we think we do.
Hm m m m . . . I'm not sure I liked the shifts in point of view, but once the first person voice-over kicked in, and the camera work moved along with it, it was fine—what would have happened had the director added a few seconds and had the main character peeking up over the barrel, the barrel tipping and rolling, and then our seeing the lettering when Bogart is out of it. In fact, the questioning by the driver was very effective in building suspense. We don't really want to identify with the escaped, possibly wife-murderer, but we do and hope he survives that questioning (which he does, violently).

Some have said the use of the subjective camera would have been better if the lead actor wasn't someone with a voice, like Bogart, that was so familiar to the audience. We know right from the start that the escaped convict is Bogart and therefore he wasn't guilty of his crimes. But hey this film was designed as a Bogie & Bacall picture therefore making certain things, like the happy ending, clear from the start. I'm still somewhat surprised that the censors allowed that ending (did the B&B romance factor throw them off their game?). Yea, Bogart didn't murder anyone but as Marge said, no one else would believe he didn't.

Do you feel this film's use of first person POV in this scene was successful or not successful?
I did appreciate the first person POV technique for the scene.
-- How do you think the use of a first person POV added to the tension of this scene?
Film noir always has a tension between known and unknown, so I felt the opportunity to be inside his head was an effective way to accomplish this.
-- In what ways can the opening of Dark Passage be considered an important contribution to the film noir style?
Automatically the main character is in complete control of the screen. We only know what he sees and hears, we are not offered other clues in the surrounding environment. We are able to see the reaction of the man which is effective to increase tension in the scene.
marshu
From the moment Bogart's voice is heard, we are a party to his assessment of the situation and plans to escape the police. This is no beginner. When he enters the car, his lies set him apart from the driver. Bogart is quick of mind, while the driver is not. Even when he knows what has happened, he waits until he is being beaten to engage his mind--or is mouth to plead. The one shot show the sign pointing behind the car as the way to San Quentin. The driver has heard the sirens and knows where he is on the road. Bogart enters in a t-shirt—that is extremely unusual in this time period. All the hints of problems, and he misses them. in this first scene, you can see that everyman stands no chance against a seasoned Bogart.
Alice Scheer
First, I felt like a spectator of the prison escape, then the change in film perspective made me feel like it was happening to me. Very gripping introduction to this film.
impatientzero
I actually thought the 1st person perspective was quite successful... and for the same reasons it's successful in video games. It connects the viewer to the action of the story, but keeps you from being too knowing at the same time. Sure you could say that vicariously escaping prison makes the opening exciting, but it's also not being able to see this man that gives us a thrill. Does he look like a criminal? Who is he? We learn his identity and his crime, but DID he (did WE) kill the wife? The POV camera work keeps us moving around and is disorienting. What the heck is going on? Well... we have to watch more to find out. Excellent opening.
owene73
The use of first person POV was very successful, partially because it did cut away at times to avoid total disorientation in the viewer and set up things like the barrel roll. The first few changes of POV, you seeing there was something in the barrel and getting curious about it really established the scene well in a way that films that stick more firmly to first person like say 'Lady in the Lake' have a hard time doing. The experimentation also allows things like the shot from inside the barrel of the fleeing convict that aren't first person but add to the impact and unusualness of the scene and make you sit up and take notice of what could be a stock situation.
There was a lot in here that was very familar from the establishing scenes of a lot of first person video games where you are literally finding yourself in a new person and controlling their decisions and immersion in the character, and the voice over when it comes were very successful.
The POV adds a lot to the tension of the encounter in the car, while the voice over shows bogart's growing impatience with the scene and lets us know that something is going to happen we are left wondering when and what would be the trigger in a way we wouldn't if both characters were visible. We can tell the outline of what will happen but are waiting nervously for the actual events despite again the situation being a stock one that we have seen countless times. Daves makes it novel again by his direction choices.
scapogrossi
POV, although very unique, places the viewer in a position as helpless Bogart inside the barrel. We all as viewers are at a distinct disadvantage, hiding, only to unveil ourselves, now at the mercy of circumstance. An interesting point of view. The driver asking questions as though he knows something is amiss, yet does not have life experience in these dirty road side ditch exchanges. Bogart on the other hand is quite comfortable in this realm, in this particular live or let die scenario.
micelwulf
Sucessful? to evaluate requires criteria.... I think the POV is engaging by virtue of being novel.
Intellectually it's interesting from a behind the scenes 'how did they acheive this on location' curiosity.
It's effective in creating an uncomfortable tension through being put in the escapee's position, but also it somehow created much more tension than other possible treatments of the scene when the driver of the vehicle keeps asking questions before the radio announcement and the escapee is revealed to be a murderer! Once the physical description of the escapee is given I'm unsettled by the decision to sustain the POV during the violence that follows.
The single viewpoint enforced upon the viewer once the POV becomes the sole shot used becomes confining in some ways and also very focussing - an interesting effect!
I agree with others that the recognisable voice.... complicates the sucess of the POV.

I never was a big fan of the first-person POV in cinema. I prefer to be a spectator when watching a movie, not a participant. However, it served as good vehicle for not immediately revealing the identity of the protagonist to the audience.
The convention of "The Jailbreak" in film noir: The distant wailing sirens; The desperate escapee fording rivers or streams; The shedding of the prison uniform... This has been done to death where it is almost a joke. The "barrel roll" was a nice variation though!
No matter how many times I see it, I am still amazed that people in movies actually stop to pick up hitchhikers along the highway who turn out to be escaped convicts!

One Injured in Crash with Parked 18-Wheeler on I-45 in Houston, TX
Houston, TX — December 25, 2022, a pickup truck driver was seriously injured after crashing with a parked 18-wheeler on Interstate 45 in Houston.
Authorities say the incident happened around 12:20 a.m. along inbound I-45 near Gulf Bank. The cause and circumstances of the crash aren't clear yet, but preliminary reports say a pickup lost control on the road and veered into a semi-truck parked on the shoulder. After the impact the pickup caught fire.
Responders put out the fire and extricated the pinned pickup driver, after which they airlifted him to an area hospital. No other injuries were reported.
The investigation continues. No further information is currently available.
Over the years I've learned people tend not to be very charitable toward drivers who hit parked vehicles. The general idea is that only one of them was in motion, so if he lost control he must have been reckless or distracted. However, things aren't always that straightforward and fault is never automatic. There's often more to the story than it first seems.
For example, not a lot of people consider that 18-wheelers parked along the interstate aren't always doing so legally. Truck drivers sometimes stop for illegitimate reasons or fail to follow the rules after parking on the shoulder.
While it's still extremely important to find out why the injured man left his travel lane, it's not the only detail to clarify. I'd say his serious injuries are more than enough reason to learn the whole truth.

More than 1,200 police and authorities in France have started an operation to clear the "Jungle" migrant camp in Calais.
Migrants have the choice of either leaving for one of France's camps or coming back to their local nation. Nonetheless, there are worries that few may decline to leave planning to achieve the United Kingdom. Substantial apparatus will be conveyed Tuesday to start disassembling the camp.
The primary transports withdrew not exactly a hour after movement specialists began the operation and authorities anticipated approximately 2,500 would leave on the first day.
Migrants queued gently to be processed, and the first of around 60 buses that will carry them to refugee centers across France have now left.
Armed police fanned out around the distribution center and over the dirty shanty-town following a night amid which little gatherings of migrants blazed can pieces and heaved stones at security drives in dissent at the arrangements to destroy the camp.
"I hope this works out. I'm alone and I just have to study," Amadou Diallo of the West African nation of Guinea, said. "It doesn't matter where I end up, I don't really care."
The UK has started to acknowledge a portion of the evaluated 1,300 unaccompanied kids from the camp.
The primary gathering without family binds to the UK has touched base in Britain under the "Dubs amendment" rules, which concede shelter to the most defenseless.
The Home Office said on Monday the exchange procedure had been stopped amid the destruction of the Jungle, at the demand of the French.
French Interior Ministry representative Pierre-Henry Brandet said that powers had not expected to utilize constrain and that the vast police nearness at the camp on Monday was only for security.
A considerable lot of the migrants and displaced people hail from nations like Afghanistan, Syria and Eritrea and had needed had achieve Britain, which bars a large portion of them on the premise of EU standards obliging them to look for shelter in the main European nation they set foot in.
The transients will be isolated into families, grown-ups, unaccompanied minors and defenseless people, including elderly individuals and single ladies.
They will then be transported to the gathering focuses where they will get medicinal checks and, on the off chance that they have not officially done as such, choose whether to apply for refuge.
