story by Chris Reeder Young | photos by Marcus Menefee
Memphis is blessed with two business creatives who form one of my most favorite and inspiring couples. They make big differences in very important spaces. Angela Russell, who owns Underground Art, Inc, and Cristofir Bradley, a custom cabinet maker, exude power couple vibes. Their generosity, skillfulness, inclusivity, and their authentic commitments and innovations are assets to our collective creative communities.
They have navigated very different types of industries which are both, however, fairly saturated with toxic masculinity and close-mindedness (tattoo shops and construction). Their journey, individually and together as native Memphians, has formed an authentic and joyful path that elevates their sectors and better serves Memphis through inclusive and compassionate leadership.
TATTOO SHOPS AND EXPECTATIONS: ANGELA
As a southern teen who was interested in piercings and tattoos, my only option in central Alabama was a skeezy tattoo shop run by a guy named Insanity who had never heard of a public health rating. Going in to a place like that was intimidating, thick with discrimination, and thin on body art options that fit what I wanted. It wasn't until I went to Underground Art and met Angela that I realized that I didn't have to sacrifice my comfort as a woman if I wanted body modifications. I had never heard of shops being led by women, and I didn't realize that shops could be so inclusive of people who were like me or like people I loved in the LGBTQA+ community. Getting to know Angela and the shop are some of my most favorite memories as a newcomer to Memphis in 2005.
What are Underground Art's origins and evolutions?
When I discovered tattooing, it was just hitting its renaissance. So, when I had the opportunity to open the shop, it was great timing. I opened up in 1993, and we were the first custom shop in the city. UGA being a custom shop meant that we didn't have pre-made flash on the walls, rather tattoo artists created art and designs specific and unique to the client. We were always slammed with clients, and we trained many artists who ended up branching out on their own. We survived the 2007 recession while staying relevant through custom work that kept the art and artists as the most important things to keep us going. Keeping our finger on that particular pulse is what the community wanted and responded to the best so we could stay open.
Why is it important for UGA to be inclusive?
When we opened, the only shops in Memphis were biker shops. Nothing against bikers, but that culture isn't known for its inclusivity. It was very important to me that we make sure that every person felt at ease and that meant that I needed to hire people who are very good at creating a comfortable and welcoming environment. For me, at that time, that inclusion was more centered around Black and Brown people, as we grew and evolved we wanted to cast that net wider, to create an inclusive space for all underserved and marginalized people. At the time, there were very few women tattoo artists. A friend of mine, Jennifer Billig, and I would go to tattoo conventions and that really showed me what it could be like for there to be more women. Weren't a bunch of us back then! People come in, and they are already nervous because body modification can hurt. We create this space inside the UGA shop that raises the bars for what to expect and how best to meet people where they are. This draws people from the outside who come to this safe space for art. A gesture like asking a person their pronouns or their preferred name helps them feel seen and calm. They never have to worry about being stared at, or made fun of or getting the nudges or winks that some non-binary or LGBTQA+ folx can get out in public. We treat people with respect wherever they are.
How does being inclusive help wellbeing for queer tattoo artists?
I think that it helps to give them a place to be themselves; it's important to feel safe and at ease when you're doing tattoo work or getting tattoo work. For queer tattoo artists, people do their best work when they feel at ease and feel like they are in their safest environments. We didn't set out to find artists who identified Trans or non-binary specifically. The focus is on the art, not the identity; but, we just happen to know great artists who were a good fit for the shop and our affirming environment drew them here. We have a huge clientele that is non-binary and/or neurodivergent and our artists are very welcoming and good at meeting them where they are. We lucked into so many people who work here and are so great.
What are some of your dreams and hopes for UGA?
I would like to see the shop move into a larger space where we can offer all kinds of art, maybe drawing workshops too. I hope to be able to move the shop into
more healing spaces as well. It's important to me that we give back as much as possible in this community and raise awareness around social justice issues. We
have hosted events to raise awareness for mental health issues, Trans issues, literacy, Black Lives Matter, and we hope to do a lot more of that going forward.
What's your favorite thing about your spouse?
I really thought about this question, it's so hard to parse out one thing. Cristofir is my home, he is where I go when I feel scared or anxious, and he is where I go to celebrate victories. He is where I go to laugh and cry and say crass things. He is my touchstone and my ballast and my lighthouse and every other metaphor that means safety and stability. He's all of that wrapped in a smokin' hot package.
CONSTRUCTION SPACES: CRISTOFIR
I met Cristofir through Angela about 15 years ago and was consistently impressed by how someone can take a piece of tree and turn it into a beautifully crafted functional item that people can use and enjoy daily. As a southerner, I had only seen woodworking transformations like that at a distance where women and non-binary people haven't always be present, engaged, or celebrated. It was like the outdated school tradition of girls being sent to home economics to sew things and boys being sent to shop class to build things still resonated loudly in contemporary construction industries. Cristofir's personal journey, how he has navigated such a culturally-exclusive industry, is important for others to hear about and reveals what makes tree-to-cabinet making so special (especially in southern spaces).
What led you to woodworking?
My dad was a cabinet maker and I saw him work, but the knowledge and interest I gained was through observation. I always like making things and building stuff. I went into construction when I was 19 before I transitioned, and it felt pretty badass. I'm a perfectionist, and I went from rough construction work, to being a framer, to doing trim carpentry, and then to cabinetry. I was getting more and more refined in the work, and I'm best suited for that.
How do you get to manifest your creative side as a woodworker?
I don't necessarily consider myself an art maker, but I do the type of woodworking where I get to engage with people and make their dreams come true by turning creative ideas into a physical reality. I've always felt compelled to make something. When I'm not woodworking, I like to cook elaborate things. I love to be faced with creating something that has a lot of restrictions and see what I can do, like renovating UGA with my wife. We were all on lockdown so we didn't have the ability to shop, so we used found items and things I already had at my own shop. I don't think of myself as an artist, I just like to make things.
Do non-binary/LGBTQ+ folk have challenges accessing carpentry training? What's a solution?
This work is blue collar work in the south, so there are assumptions when it comes down to gender and identity that are different for cis-hetero men. Before, I put up with so much stuff because I just wanted to make things. Some guys were comfortable in their own masculinity and taught me solid and important worksite things back then, but they were few and far between. This is an all-boys network. There are some honest good guys who may not know how to act, just may not have had an opportunity to exchange with queers. I transitioned on a construction site while I was renovating houses in New Orleans. It was dramatic; I worked for one crew, started T, and then went to another crew as my new self. I immediately got a 30% pay increase. I was considered more competent as soon as I started to be perceived as male like it was day and night after my transition. Since transitioning, it's been something to see how lucky white men have it. It is also so freeing to just work and be yourself and not have to defend your gender or identity so you can just focus on the work and helping clients. For newcomers, there are women woodworkers out there, find them and connect to them if you're a non-binary person or LGBTQA+ interested in getting into the field.
What are some of your dreams and hopes for your career?
My hope for my business is that I get to continue to live my dream. I just want to keep making beautiful things for people, and continue making intentional decisions to keep earning a living and never make a dollar at the expense of some other's well being or only for the sake of capitalism. I like perfecting my craft and hope to get into more hand tool work for fun.
She's so quietly radical and does so much to help others and the community, and local organizations. She never turns down donating to others. She is so humble and has done so much good in the world to raise awareness about things too. She also won't take any BS!
Advice from A and C: Try to cast the network wide on anything that you're trying to get into. Be inclusive and welcoming and focus on the creative works.

Stefan Ruzowitzky/Austria-Germany 2007
The Counterfeiters is about those concentration camp victims who were the most privileged within the entire Nazi system. Privileged is not the same as lucky. Approximately 150 Jews – printers, bankers and artists – were pulled into isolation in Sachsenhausen camp to forge, amongst other documents, British and American money for the Nazi war effort. It was the biggest, most successful counterfeiting operation in history.
These men, who are introduced around by their Jewish overseer with "they'll kill us after the war," can only listen to the horrors inflicted on the prisoners around them. They have enough food, their own hair, mattresses with sheets; in one grotesque sequence they're even given a ping-pong table. But this never suffices to blind them to their reality.
Based on a memoir by Adolf Burger (August Diehl), a Communist printer, the film centers on Solomon Sorowitsch, known to all as Sally (Karl Markovics). He's the best forger in 1936 Berlin and a huge prize for Herzog (Devid Striesow), the young SS officer/policeman who arrests him. Sally disappears into the Nazi prison system, which of course disappears into the concentration camps. He makes sure he gets noticed – an unusual survival tactic – and soon his artistic talents are in demand for propaganda. He's still alive in 1944 when he comes back under Herzog's control and is brought with Burger and three others to the "golden cage."
The film is very well cast and Benedict Neuenfels' cinematography also finds the delicate balance between faux-realism and fetishizing the Holocaust. But Herzog is another cliché of a good Nazi, who uses middle-management techniques to motivate the men. And Torsten Heinemann's sound ruins the otherwise carefully established tone; with one exception, the soundtrack is relentlessly overbearing commentary on the action.
By emphasizing what we see with such banal aural cues, Stefan Ruzowitsky, who has directed two successful German-language horror films and one unsuccessful English-language war movie, makes it clear he doesn't feel the story is strong enough by itself. The crux of the film – the men's attempts to sabotage production of the dollar, enough to prevent Nazi success but without getting them all shot – becomes a moral question as to whether they were right, as Jews, in doing the Nazis' work. Should they have refused it knowing this meant death, and knowing their deaths would have only brought a fresh crew of slaves into the cage?
To ask this question is to imply these men had a choice. This is a false premise. All these men could try to do was survive. To judge their survival, as this film does, is to try to blame them for Nazi crimes. Is this how we confront evil in 2007, not by documenting it faithfully or fighting it openly, but instead by blaming its victims for their victimhood?

3 laps around Woodford park. Half tarmac, half grass. Pretty fast and flat (slight hill run 3 times). Can get congested, but I force. Keep,left rule. Gets muddy during the winter, then trail shoes are advised.
Three laps on mainly tarmac paths but with a good portion on grass each lap, fairly flat. Prone to puddles in wet weather. Can be crowded.
Woodley is a 3 lap course. Some sections can be tight, but if you are a slower runner you donget extra encouragement when the 'fast' runner pass you.
Great venue, amazing team and lush after-run coffee.
70 % Tarmac 25 % grass. One very small incline. Goes round the park 3 times. Park divided by a small lake in a central position that you run by 2 times on each lap. A nice war memorial that becomes a mini roundabout.
Round and round quite a small park on narrow paths and the football field. Quick course in the summer. Not one for those looking for aesthetics though!
3 laps around playing fields and tarmac paths, a little slippy under foot if wet. A no headphones rule due to some narrow paths. Lots of facilities nearby.

GW parents fret as Montessori program faces cuts
by Crispin Kott
While the district celebrates the approval of its $143 million school budget and other proposals at the polls this week, supporters of the district's Montessori center at George Washington Elementary are hoping changes in the program — and pink slips for some of the staff at the school — don't point to a quick end for the relatively new program.
George Washington is in its second full year of operation as a Montessori school, as the program was phased in over three years. It opened with 3-to-5-year-olds in the "children's house" in the 2008-09 school year, adding 6-to-9-year-olds the following year and completing its transformation in the 2010-11 school year with 10-to-12-year-olds.
The program first came under scrutiny when state standardized tests administered during the 2010-11 school year to students in ages that would put them in grades 3-5 in a standard curriculum saw the average score — 657.83 — of George Washington's students come in lower than the average score across the rest of the district (672.33).
But supporters of the program, including school board President James Shaughnessy, have pointed out that the value of the Montessori program may not be truly clear until students who've gone through the program from a younger age are eligible for the state assessments. Donna Flayhan, a parent of a George Washington student, agreed.
Flayhan, a SUNY New Paltz professor, moved her family within the George Washington attendance zone fromWoodstockprimarily because of the Montessori program at the school. Flayhan's youngest daughter, who turns 10 in August, is a current student at George Washington. Her eldest daughter is in the seventh grade at Miller Middle School, but she attended a private Montessori school in Maryland, where they lived before moving to Woodstock.
"My older daughter went to $14,000-a-year private Montessori schools inBaltimore, and this is the same curriculum," Flayhan said. "These are the same materials."
Flayhan said that she knew of other families who moved into the area because of the Montessori program at George Washington, partly because of the educational offerings, but also because of the diversity in the surrounding community.
"It's really a great thing for the neighborhood and the school through the community it's building," Flayhan said. "It is really weaving a nice fabric into the neighborhood."
Flayhan said that the standardized tests are making some critics of the Montessori program judge it based on criteria that isn't a relevant measure of its success. Furthermore, she added, the standardized test scores will rise when kids who've been in Montessori from earlier in their education reach the third-grade level, which for some kids at George Washington will happen in the next couple of years.

It's generally a bad idea to do logical dump/restores of slony nodes, and for this reason slony provides the CLONE PREPARE/CLONE FINISH action commands to clone subscriber nodes.
In this instance though, I've a test environment where I'd stopped the slons, dumped out and dropped a subscriber database and then gone on to do some other testing with that postgres cluster. Sometime later I want to do some more testing with the slony cluster; I never dropped this node from the slony config, but in the meantime I've changed the postgres version from 9.0 to 9.4 and recreated the postgres cluster with initdb. Schema wise nothing has changed with the old nodes.
What follows is some fudge to make the node resume with replication, it's neither recommended nor guaranteed to work. Copy this process at your peril.
After recompiling the same version of slony I had before (2.2.4) and installing the binaries, I've just restored the old subscriber database dump into the new postgres 9.4 cluster and updated my extensions.
For clarity, my resurrected node is ID 1, and was a subscriber at the time it was destroyed.
I can now restart my slons and replication should continue, and so far all appears well.

I realized that if I don't like something, I can change it. If I don't feel comfortable with something, then I have a voice to say it's not cool.
I would like to promote internal change in Iran - which is more likely if we don't fuse Iranian nationalism with Iranian fundamentalism.
It's pretty strange because you have images of people in your head when you left, then you just think they're going to be the same when you come back, like time freezes. I have sisters and from the ages of 11 to 13 - it's a big change for girls.
— Zayn Malik
I don't think we set out to make 'The East' in order to necessarily change people's hearts; I don't know how much movies actually change people's hearts. We wanted to make something that was thrilling and got you to thinking.

We go out there every night, and we fight the battle. We don't care about people who don't think we're true metal. We hope to change their minds. I have total faith.
I'm running because we need change.

I'm not going to change my game because I got hurt.
My wife Julie and I are driven to make positive and enduring change in our beloved city of Philadelphia, in California, in Haiti, and around the world.

Climate change - for so long an abstract concern for an academic few - is no longer so abstract. Even the Bush administration's Climate Change Science Programme reports 'clear evidence of human influences on the climate system.'
I would love to explore film seeing as I have prominently been on television. It would be nice to change it up and focus on film a little bit.
For each project I do, I try to surprise myself, do the unexpected, and change my own status quo. From the One Laptop Per Child, the Herman Miller Sayl, or the latest Movado watch collection, there is always an insecurity about being able to do something important. I think each of those projects makes me feel like we have progressed.


LSU outside linebacker Ray Thornton is "out for a while" after suffering a sprained ankle, Tigers coach Ed Orgeron said Tuesday evening.
The 6-foot-4, 226-pound Texas native played in 12 games last season, starting in two, while recording 2½ tackles for loss and one sack.
Thornton is the most recent injury among a battered roster this spring for LSU, which includes two possible starters on offense and three possible starters on defense.
On offense, projected starting offensive guard Chasen Hines underwent offseason knee surgery, and starting slot receiver Derrick Dillon underwent an operation, Orgeron said, that will keep him out all spring.

Starting defensive end Rashard Lawrence will miss the spring after undergoing offseason knee surgery, while starting inside linebacker Jacob Phillips will be withheld from contact until preseason camp. Starting cornerback Kristian Fulton remains out due to his season-ending ankle surgery following the Arkansas game.
The depth hits have led to roster shifts across the board. Junior offensive lineman Jakori Savage has flipped to defensive line to help with depth, Orgeron said, and during Tuesday's practice, starting outside linebacker Michael Divinity practiced with the inside linebackers.
Orgeron said Divinity played some middle linebacker at John Ehret High, where Divinity was ranked the nation's No. 6 outside linebacker, per 247Sports.

'X-Men: Apocalypse' Movie News: Jennifer Lawrence & Nicholas Hoult Join Love Triangle With Michael Fassbender, Who Will End Up Together? [VIDEO]
By Zach Dennis
It seems like there will be a little more romance than the previous movies in the upcoming X-Men movie, but with a triangle being formed, who will get together and who will ultimately be left on the side?
Bryan Singer Heading To London For 'X-Men' Casting, Which Stars Could Be Joining The Franchise?
With the recent news that X-Men: Apocalypse would focus on the relationship between Jennifer Lawrence's Mystique and Michael Fassbender's Magneto, it begged the question, what would happen to the established relationship between Mystique and Nicholas Hoult's Beast that was started during First Class?
It is interesting that they decided to scrap the whole romance as there weren't many, if any, signs of it in this year's Days of Future Past. But during the previous movie, it was one of the focal points of the entire film, which seems to be the direction they are going but with different characters.
New Report Links These Two 'X-Men' Characters Together Romantically
Does that mean a love triangle is on the way though? It seems that way. While the recent report said that the romance would be between Mystique and Magneto, writer Simon Kinberg has previously said that they were going to focus more on the Mystique and Beast love story in the next movie.
While plans may have changed, they also may have changed to help enforce the switch from good to evil that Mystique is going through. While there was the choice at the end of First Class to join Magneto, it didn't necessarily carry the evil weight that carried over to the next movie.
With a love triangle in place, it forces her to choose between joining Beast, who is with Professor Xavier and the rest of the X-Men, or following the timeline that was established in the original trilogy and joining up with Magneto.
While Days of Future Past wiped that timeline, it will be interesting what path they decide to take her since it is wide open again.

Q: GWT Cell tree, how to use? Can somebody explains how to use the GWT cell tree. I am trying to google it but not finding any valuable tutorial??
Thanks

A: Try;
Google Example 1
includes onModuleLoad method. :)

A: For those who don't like the google showcase example like me can use this example;
http://google-web-toolkit.googlecode.com/svn/javadoc/2.1/com/google/gwt/user/cellview/client/CellTree.html
you can just copy paste it and it works.
"

Trivial example

public class CellTreeExample implements EntryPoint {

Journalists at BBC Parliament to strike for 24 hours in dispute over pay 'fairness'
BBC Parliament journalists are set to take 24-hours of strike in protest at unequal pay grading from 6am tomorrow.
The majority of staff who produce content for the 24-hour TV channel, which includes live coverage of Prime Minister's Questions and parliamentary committee hearings, hold the title of Broadcast Assistants and sit in pay grade five.

However, comparable work by colleagues at the BBC News Channel and BBC World is done by Broadcast Journalists who sit two tiers above at pay grade seven, according to the NUJ whch says it has received a mandate for industrial action after all members concerned voted in favour of a strike.
According to the BBC less than 20 staff are involved in the strike action.
The union claims viewing figures for the dedicated politics channel have doubled in recent years as a result of the "hard work" of its members.
Aiden James, father of chapel at BBC Westminster, part of the BBC News division, said: "This is not about pay, it's about fairness and being valued for what we do.
"We want [the channel] to improve further and grow to serve its audience. Managers can be helped to achieve this by investing in their staff, rather than exploiting the commitment of grade five Broadcast Assistants.
"The NUJ wants the journalism of members at BBC Parliament to be recognised and valued by management. The NUJ wants to see staff at BBC Parliament treated equally to their grade seven colleagues."
While the live broadcast of the House of Commons including Prime Minister's Questions and the Business Committee session with Sir Philip Green will be handled by the channel controller and two deputies, the union has claimed coverage of the Westminster Hall debates, business in the Lords, committee hearings, the Scottish Parliament and Welsh Assembly will be "severely affected".
However a BBC spokeswoman said there were "plans in place to maintain the schedules programming" adding: "We expect to offer a normal service including broadcasting PMQs on BBC Parliament as well as BBC News Channel and BBC Two as usual."
The BBC also said its coverage of the Scottish Parliament, National Assemblies and business in the Lords would not be affected.

Donna Winningham has lived in Putnam County for a quarter century, but she'd never entered anything in the fair until this year.
Analysis of the predator's footprints and photos from a game camera showed the murderer to be a "fisher cat." Members of the weasel family, fishers were once endemic to this area but were eventually hunted out for their pelts. The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency reintroduced them in Catoosa in the early part of this century. They appear to be thriving.
Earlier this month and with no small effort, she managed to capture one rooster and two hens as they dashed squawking through her yard. "It wasn't easy," Donna said, showing me her cuts and bruises, "but I caught them, cleaned them up and entered them in the 'trio' poultry category." Her efforts paid off. Swede, Helga and Olga received the "President's Award," the top prize in poultry.

Full Metal Jacket: Breaking Down Stanley Kubrick's Masterpiece

What is that elevates a filmmaker to a film master like Stanley Kubrick, or that elegant French word, auteur? In the vast majority of films that make it onto the big screen these days, it is the actors' names which draw curious audiences above the director's.
In many cases, at least in a film's public profile, the director works behind the scenes, barely participating in the promotion circuit, and in the most disheartening cases, can even earn the label of a "Hollywood Hack".
There may be hundreds of such ill-fated directors circulating, however, the last 120 years of filmmaking have given us a precious selection of truly masterful auteurs. From Alfred Hitchcock to Jean Renoir, from Claire Denis to Quentin Tarantino, the film masters' canon is a rich one.
Such filmmakers leave an indelible mark on their films; they exert unmistakable control over their project; they allow their creative idiosyncrasies to seep into every aspect of their process. In other words, cinematic masters have the freedom to make their films truly their own, and the vision to create something unique in doing so.
Inarguably one of the most creative, idiosyncratic, visionary directors of our time, Stanley Kubrick falls easily into this categorisation of auteur. His films, which frequently mix incisive political messages with disturbing character relationships and iconic horror imagery, are simultaneously artful and raw.
In perhaps his best-known film, The Shining, his uncanny, labyrinthine and geometric framing of the film's hotel setting transform inanimate objects like tricycles and corridors into pseudo-characters in themselves, capable of conveying horror and unease even without explicit violence.
In his Vietnam War indictment Full Metal Jacket, Kubrick blurs the line between military brutality and full-blown abuse, masculinity and femininity, violence and sexuality, in ways no other filmmaker could. Indeed, his characteristic blending of beauty and ugliness, politics and psychology, composure and unease, have marked Kubrick's cinema even since his earliest projects, such as
Killer's Kiss (1955)

Stanley Kubrick's First Indie Film "Fear and Desire"
We all start somewhere and the 1953 feature film Fear and Desire is where the legendary Stanley Kubrick got his. Fear and Desire is a 60 minute independent film, written, financed, shot and directed by a 25-year-old Stanley Kubrick, who had just quit his job full-time job as a photographer at LOOK Magazine.
The film's budget was estimated to be $10,000, a hell of a lot in the 1950s. The production was made up of 15 people: Kubrick, five actors (Paul Mazursky, Frank Silvera, Kenneth Harp, Steve Coit, and Virginia Leith), five crew people (including Stanley's first wife, Toba Metz) and four Mexican laborers who lugged the heavy film equipment around San Gabriel Mountains, where the film was shot. Kubrick said in an interview with Paul Mazursky interview with Paul Mazursky
"There was no dolly track, just a baby carriage to move the camera."
Kubrick hated this film with a passion and unsuccessfully attempted to destroy every copy of the film in existence. Before a restored version of the film was played at the 1993 Telluride Film Festival Kubrick publicly said that is was:
"a bumbling amateur film exercise."
After watching it I understand why he didn't want anyone to see it. It's a bit amateur and the acting and story are not what you would expect from a Kubrick film but it's a fascinating look at his first attempt at filmmaking. Enjoy.
Includes a five-minute interview with the director about the film.
The Barry Lyndon Projectionist's Letter
Stanley Kubrick was legendary for making sure his films were projects perfectly in every theater around the US. Below you'll find an amazing letter that was sent out to all projectionists screening Barry Lyndon.
It was reproduced by screenwriter and film critic Jay Cocks, who explained:
"I knew Stanley pretty well for a while, but at the time of the Time Barry Lyndon cover I was in LA beginning preliminary work on Gangs of New York. So I had no hand in the Time cover, but still managed to let Stanley know how great I thought the movie was. He replied with his usual gracious, funny note and enclosed this letter, because he thought I'd be interested. Bet you will be too."
Thank you Mr. Cocks. Check out the letter below:
A rep from Warner Brothers responded to the letter,
"We stand firmly that we are 100% in compliance with Mr. Kubrick's wishes and edict" and that "the letter from Kubrick to projectionists was the reference for our 1.78 aspect ratio call."
God I miss you Stanley.

KUBRICK / TARKOVSKY

This short comparison highlights their own unique cinematic style, in which to some extent, they share the same philosophical and thematic undertones in their filmography.
The films included are:
Stanley Kubrick- Path of Glory (1957)
– Spartacus (1960)
– Lolita (1962)
– Dr. Strangelove (1964)

Including interviews with many members of the cast and crew of this story about the scramble by the heads of state to head off a rogue general's attempt to launch a nuclear war, this film gives fans a wealth of new information on the work and effort that went into bringing the film to fruition.

The Shining — Quietly Going Insane Together
The Shining, more than any other horror film, frightens me on a deep, psychological level. This video explores what exactly makes it so creepy.
Excerpts from the BBC Arena program, "The Peter Sellers Story", a documentary directed by Peter Lydon featuring Seller's home movies shot with his portable cameras. These excerpts covers the year when Sellers became famous in the US and the time he spent with Stanley Kubrick, making "Lolita" and "Dr Strangelove" in England.
Producer James B Harris recollects how Sellers was hired for playing the ambiguous character of Quilty and why the production was moved in England. Kubrick is portrayed with his wife Christiane while playing tennis and chatting in Seller's home garden.
Scenes from both "Lolita" and "Dr Strangelove" are included and quotes from Kubrick statements about Sellers are read by the narrator.
The documentary features interviews with several Sellers' friends and cooperators and a clip from 1964 TV program The Steve Allen Show where Sellers was interviewed about how he created the character and the voice of the mad Dr Strangelove by taking inspiration from photographer Arthur Fellig, aka Weegee: a tape with Weegee's voice studied by Sellers is included, where the photographer talks about his nickname and his work.

The Last Planner System (LPS) is a collaborative planning process that involves trade foremen or design team leaders (the last planners) in planning in greater and greater detail as the time for the work to be done gets closer. In the UK it is sometimes known as Collaborative Planning and, in the USA, sometimes called Pull Planning.
LPS brings together those who will execute the work (the team) to plan when and how work will be done through a series of conversational processes. It requires the team to collaboratively remove constraints as a team and to promise delivery of each task. These systematic processes increase the chances that work flows reliably, and recognises that personal relationships and peer pressure are critical to that process.
LPS is a planning, monitoring and control system that follows lean construction principles. It was developed by Glenn Ballard and Greg Howell who later founded the Lean Construction Institute at the behest of a number of constructors who had benefited from their use of LPS.
Collaborative Programming  - Creating and agreeing the production sequence (and compressing it if required) and agreeing the key hand-overs from one trade or design team to the next.
Make Ready  - Making tasks in the Look Ahead period ready (i.e. constraint free) so that they can be done when the team want to do them.
Production Planning - Collaboratively agreeing production tasks for the next period (e.g. shift, day or week) – this is often referred to as Weekly Work Planning (WWP).
Production Management - Collaboratively monitoring production to keep activities on track, generally on a daily basis.
Measurement, learning and continual improvement - Learning and improving project, planning and production processes so as to improve the flow and the rate of flow of the work.
Percent Plan (or Promises) Complete (often referred to as PPC, a measure of plan reliability).
Tasks made ready (a measure of the effectiveness of the Make Ready Process).
Tasks anticipated (a measure of the ability of the team to anticipate the work they need to plan).
The metrics are calculated for the project as a whole. The reason for using these metrics is to learn. If the metrics are used for any other purpose than as an aid to learning and improvement their value as a learning aid diminishes as those involved start to 'game the system'.
When tasks are not completed as promised the 5Why process can be used to find the root cause of the late or early delivery and then countermeasures developed to reduce the chances that the problem will happen again. In this way learning this week is built into operations next week.
All plans are forecasts; all forecasts are wrong.
The longer the forecast, the more wrong it gets.
The more detailed the forecast, the wronger it is (first formulated by Ballard ca. 1991).
Plan in greater detail as you get closer to doing the work.
Produce plans collaboratively with those who will do the work.
Reveal and remove constraints on planned tasks as a team.
Make and secure reliable promises.
Measure promises kept (see above) and improve by learning from early, late or incomplete deliveries and workflow disruptions.
Improve workflow as a team based on what has been learned.
Andrew Baldwin David Bordoli 2014 Handbook for Construction Planning and Scheduling App2 362-366 The Shepherd Way and Collaborative Planning [Note that this version of LPS, like many that use the terms Collaborative Planning or Pull Planning, is only a partial implementation of Last Planner. The make ready process (called 'forward planning') did not bring the whole team together and there was no explicit learning process built in. Despite this the benefits for Shepherd were significant.

Web of Science Group for Publishers, an interview with Keith Collier
For more than 50 years, the Web of Science has been the only publisher-independent citation index serving the research ecosystem, and relied upon by publishers. But following revamped products and focused investment in our team, the Web of Science Group can offer so much more, tailored specifically for the publishing community. Keith Collier, Vice President Product Management explains.
Keith, what's your background, and how did you come to the Web of Science Group?
I spent the first nine years of my career at a professional services company, before joining what was then Thomson Reuters to work on the ScholarOne platform. I left to join Research Square where I was Chief Growth Officer, then 'returned' to the Web of Science Group in May 2018. Apparently we're called boomerang employees! With the resurgence of our business over the last few years since the creation of Clarivate Analytics, there are quite a few of us who have returned.
I quickly saw that with some targeted investment, a dedicated publisher engagement team, and intense focus on product development, we could really improve our offering, and that there was huge potential in the power of the Group. For example the Web of Science Group brings together the data from Web of Science and Publons to improve and speed up peer review for publishers, to make better connections for authors and provide insights into the researcher audience.
Can you explain the concept of Web of Science Group for Publishers?
Web of Science Group for Publishers is a suite of products and services that make publishers lives easier, by providing new and enhanced insights and data. Insights are provided through Publisher Analytics Reports and InCites provides better data, meaning publishers can make better decisions with better outcomes. Our workflow solutions help publishers to improve efficiency, gain greater visibility worldwide for their publications, implement a smooth submission to publication process and integrate with trusted third parties. We help publishers establish and maintain strong relationships with their research communities, for example through increasing the visibility of journals via the Master Journal List (which has been relaunched).
All of this is underpinned by our data, which is unique – it is carefully selected, structured, and objective. When it comes to what is included in the Web of Science collections, our editorial decisions are conducted by in-house editors, who have no affiliations to publishers or research institutes, removing any potential bias or conflict of interest.
Tell me more about Publisher Analytics reports.
Publisher Analytics reports are our first entirely new offering for publishers in a long time. These ready-to-use reports provide a snapshot of journals' performance and inform competitor analysis. They help publishers to easily plan robust, evidence-based strategies based on the publisher-independent, editorially curated data in the Web of Science, combined with data from InCites analytics and where appropriate, ScholarOne. We've seen a lot of early interest in the reports and we're excited about their potential.
You mentioned investing in the team. What does this mean?
We have a new Publisher Engagement team who proactively provide publishers with a single point of contact if any assistance is needed. This ranges from billing questions, to product updates and development, to content issues.
What's next for the Web of Science Group?
In addition to all the things mentioned above, as part of our continuing efforts to make our journal evaluation process more streamlined and transparent, we have launched the Web of Science Publisher Portal – a new, online, self-service system where journal publishers can submit a journal for evaluation for the Web of Science Core Collection and view the status of journal submissions at any time. With a new interactive submission form and an evaluation status tracker, the Web of Science Publisher Portal provides journal publishers with real-time tracking. We have removed the need to contact us to check on a journal's evaluation status and wait for a response, giving publishers greater insight and control throughout the process. The Portal is currently in beta but we're looking forward to opening it up to the whole community early next year.
In addition, this week we've announced a relaunch of the Master Journal List and new AI article scanning capability built into ScholarOne. Watch this space for more news from Web of Science Group for Publishers!
Join Keith and the Web of Science team at our Frankfurt Book Fair reception to learn more: Wednesday, October 16, 6pm – 7:30pm, Web of Science Group booth (Hall 4.2/K47).
If you're not attending Frankfurt, you can sign up to our webinar to find out what's new from publisher services.

Annual Message
Florida Coastal federal financial aid to be released, following letter of credit submission
Florida Coastal federal financial aid to…
By Stephanie Francis Ward
September 13, 2019, 11:07 am CDT
Updated: The U.S. Department of Education approved Thursday the release of federal student aid to Florida Coastal School of Law, a for-profit InfiLaw school, after the school submitted a letter of credit to the agency.
Florida Coastal students were expecting the student loan money by or before Sept. 9, Above the Law reported.
The letter of credit requirement followed Florida Coastal not meeting fiscal responsibility standards required by the department for the fiscal year ending in 2018.
"The school did post a letter of credit. The school responded to the regulatory requirements of the Department of Education. Florida Coastal has recently been found in compliance with the ABA Standards. It continues to have stronger bar pass rates and significantly increased academic credentials for each entering class," Peter Goplerud, who was recently appointed as the law school's president, told the ABA Journal in an email.
He is also the interim president of another InfiLaw campus, Arizona Summit Law School, which is currently operating under a teachout plan.
The council of the ABA's Section of Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar in August denied Florida Coastal's application to convert to a nonprofit, and its dean, Scott DeVito, recently left the school. Jennifer Reiber is now Florida Coastal's interim dean, according to its website.
In regards to the council finding, Goplerud said it needed additional items, and the law school will have the information to the council before it's next meeting, in November.
The InfiLaw Corp., an entity of the private equity company Sterling Capital Partners, had three law schools until recently. But Florida Coastal is the only one that remains open and not operating under a teach-out plan. The law schools, in separate lawsuits, sued the ABA in May 2018 regarding accreditation findings. By April, all the law schools agreed to dismiss the actions.
Florida Coastal is the only InfiLaw campus that has not been placed on probation by the ABA legal ed section's council. In 2017, the council found that the law school was "significantly out of compliance" with various standards regarding admissions and legal education programs. But by May, the council found that the school had demonstrated compliance with the standards in question.
According to Florida Coastal's Standard 509 Information Report for 2018, its median LSAT score is 150; the median undergraduate GPA is 3.14. The document showed a total of 207 students. For the class of 2016, the ultimate bar passage rate was 64.54%, according to ABA data. In 2018, the law school had 185 first-time test takers, and the pass rate was 56.76%.
Also in August, the ABA legal ed section's council accepted Michigan State University College of Law's application to fully integrate with Michigan State University. Despite its name, the law school is a private, stand-alone school. It's been affiliated with MSU since 1995, but it is a separate legal entity and is fiscally independent, Dean Lawrence Ponoroff previously told the ABA Journal.
