Future Worlds and the Internet of Energy: ENA unveils visions of the UK's future power landscape

The Energy Networks Association's (ENA) Open Networks project has published its blueprint for a future Internet of Energy in the UK, seeking out the most desirable 'Future World' of electricity distribution and transmission.
It comes as part of an independent impact assessment, compiled by consultancy firm Baringa, which has looked into five particular models for how the country's electricity networks could underpin a future smart grid.
That assessment proposes a framework under which the country's transmission and distribution network operators could essentially redesign how they operate in order to deliver that change, dubbed a 'Future World'.
That 'Future World' would see network operators collaborating more closely to bring forward flexibility service markets, utilising the energy flexibility of new technologies installed in the country's homes, public buildings and businesses.
It's the ENA's intent that the publication of the assessment and 'Future World' model builds on the progress made by the association's Open Networks project, in particular those relating to the adoption of flexibility services.
Late last year the ENA orchestrated the networks' first 'Flexibility Commitment', which saw the country's network operators commit to embracing flexibility providers when seeking solutions for grid issues.
The 'Future World' models
Baringa's assessment focuses around five Future World models summarised by the ENA, identified as World A, B, C, D and E.
World A, or DSO Coordinates, includes the DSO taking a central role for all distribution connected parties, acting as a neutral market facilitator.
World B, dubbed Coordinated DSO-ESO Procurement and Dispatch, sees DSOs and the ESO work together to manage networks through a co-ordinated flexibility procurement process.
World C, titled Price-Driver Flexibility, includes made via Ofgem's electricity network access reforms and forward-looking charges improve access arrangements.
World D, or ESO Coordinates, sees the ESO take a central role in flexibility procurement, rather than the DSO.
and World E, or Flexibility Co-ordinators, identifies a world where national, or regional, third parties act as the market facilitator for DER and provide efficient services to the ESO and DSOs as required.
After assessing those worlds against more than 30 criteria identified by the ENA and its stakeholders, as well as a quantitative cost and benefit analysis, Baringa concluded that there was no set 'World' that excelled across all criteria and that each possessed relative strengths and weaknesses.
Baringa has established a series of trade-offs associated with each World which will need to be weighed up against each other in order to determine the most practical or ideal solution.

The quantitative assessment also concluded that there was not much between the Worlds by 2050 in terms of their potential costs and benefits, however Worlds A and B have appeared capable of delivering those benefits faster - outperforming the other three scenarios by 2030.
In response to the assessment's conclusions, Baringa has identified four areas of further work which would help inform which path is the most likely, based around the answers to four specific questions, namely;
How far can reformed access and charging arrangements go in delivering flexibility to the system?
What is the value of flexibility to network operators at low voltages?
What are the potential conflicts of interest and how can they be mitigated?
How can industry arrangements facilitate a different pace of change across regions?
The 144-page assessment can be read in full here.
David Smith, chief executive at the ENA, said that the assessment provided a clear vision for Britain's networks to "pave the way" for a smarter, more flexible energy system.
"This vision is clear in its direction, but pragmatic in its nature. It will allow network operators to build on the progress they've made so far through the Open Networks Project to ensure the people can access the benefits of a smart grid as quickly as possible, whilst leaving the door open to more radical changes in the future," he said.
A public consultation on the impact assessment report has been opened and will collect responses until 1 May 2019. Consultation events will be held in London and Glasgow on 8 and 10 April respectively.
Responses to the consultation will be summarised in a standalone report to be used alongside the impact assessment when presented to policy makers, while feedback will also be used to shape ongoing work within the ENA's Open Networks Project.

What is out there to see in Nuremberg?
On approaching the city, one can feel the atmosphere of Bavaria. Each land has its own peculiarities, and Nuremberg proudly shows its own. Even the bratwurst or original Bavarian sausages here are called Nurnberg's bratwurst, which seems to be a bit different.
is probably the most important landmark in the city which dates back to 11 century. The castle was serving as the unofficial venue for the assembly of a Holy Roman Empire. Nuremberg Castle was also badly damaged during the wall and a lot was restored after its end to the original condition, for instance, the Luginsland Tower was completely rebuilt.
The castle's balcony offers a great panorama of the city – probably the best view in a city.
Frauenkirche is located at Nuremberg's Haupmarkt and was erected circa 1352. The Gothic church is a must-see touristic attraction in the city. The edifice also has an old clock with moving figures, representing seven Electors pacing round Emperor Charles IV. Previously we wrote about that type of clocks' performance in post about Munich and also a bit about astronomical clock in Prague.
The interior of the church is not much different from a variety of catholic churches, but the light that is passing through stained glass is somewhat special.
The Nuremberg city walls that surround it are well preserved till today. The majority of fortifications were erected circa 14 century and extended in 16-17. Something that amazed us is the residential buildings within the wall. They have an address and a mailbox, and we would be extremely interested taking a glimpse how does it look inside.
Like the one on the photo, but it's not that same building where a prominent renaissance artist lived and created his masterpieces in 16th century. Albrecht was a painter, printmaker and theorist of the German Renaissance who established his influence in Europe in his mid-twenties. A pretty major figure in German renaissance and art in general.
For that task we assume you would need to spend a full day. Nuremberg has a National German Museum which attracts with a range of items that tell more about the history of the region while the Neues Museum Nürnberg nearby houses modern art exhibitions. The Industrial museum (Gewerbemuseum) is also located in the same building. If traveling with kids, one can take them to the Toy Museum. The city was famous for toy production, and museum also hosts toys exhibition from medieval times. The admirers of the railway might be interested in Nuremberg Transport Museum (Verkehrsmuseum Nürnberg), which depicts the history of railroad development. Notable, that Nuremberg is the first city to adopt automatic trains circulation together with old-fashioned driver-operated trains in the city. Hence, some of the U-bahn trains are operated remotely.
The city is also known worldwide for the Nuremberg process, a trial which condemned Nazi after the war. One can book an excursion at Documentation Center Nazi Party Rally Grounds, where the party held it rallies.
Used to be one of the largest hospitals that remained from medieval times and traces back to 1332. Now the edifice hosts a restaurant and a retirement house.
Cannot be compared to that amount of bridges in Budapest, or Venice, but still impressive how many bridges were built over Pegnitz river.
The renovated district of medieval workshops, that are located in traditional edifices of that time. Now some of that buildings are hosting small restaurants with local dishes that could indulge any pampered tourist.
If we might have missed something in this city we truly apologize. Please comment below what other interesting things are out there to see in Nuremberg.


Have you ever been told that you're too sensitive? Or have you noticed your own sensitivities to things like loud noises, caffeine, strong smells and emotions? You might be part of the 15 to 20 percent of the population that is considered highly sensitive.
About 70% of highly sensitive people (HSPs) are introverts. This is not to say that all introverts are HSPs, but there is a lot of overlap between the two personality traits.
According to psychologist Elaine Aron, author of The Highly Sensitive Person , being highly sensitive is an innate trait, which is present from infancy. Just like introversion, it cannot be changed or outgrown.
Despite this, many people try to disguise their sensitivity. They do this because the characteristics of an HSP are rejected by some cultures. HSPs can be left feeling abnormal and defective because of qualities that go to the core of who they are. Sound familiar?
They are easily overwhelmed. Because HSPs notice more subtleties in their environment, they can quickly become overwhelmed by too much intensity, chaos and noise. If you are an HSP, you might often feel the need to withdraw into a darkened room or some other quiet sanctuary where you can find relief from overstimulation.
They are aware of subtleties that others miss. HSPs process more in a given situation. They also reflect more deeply on what they observe.
They have a rich and complex inner life. Most HSPs have a deep appreciation for contemplation and introspection. They tend to enjoy creative, philosophical and spiritual endeavors.
They notice and appreciate delicate scents, tastes, sounds and artwork. While strong stimuli can be draining for an HSP, subtle and delicate stimuli offer pleasure.
To learn more about HSP and to take the test, visit Elaine Aron's website.
Who Else Wants To Hide Out Under A Blanket All Day?
Is there a difference between Highly Sensitive People and Hyper Sensitive People? I was told that I was the latter.
I have a 15 year old daughter that is highly sensitive & is having a very difficult time adjusting to her new high school.
is being a highly sensitive person excusable given the circumstances?
if so, then everyone has been a highly sensitive person at one point or another…unless you're a sociopath or something.

House Speaker Robert A. DeLeo today kicked off this year's legislative session promising to block any tax increases, to lobby for construction of new "destination" gambling facilities and to search the state for ways to create new jobs.
Mr. DeLeo, marking the start of his second year as speaker, said he will seek to restore work force training funds cut from the budget earlier this year and will push for a solution to a large increase in unemployment insurance premiums facing employers.
In his most forceful comments to date on building slot parlors and gambling casinos, Mr. DeLeo, D-Winthrop, said he viewed the expanded gaming issue as a way to create "permanent jobs" and indicated he is seeking quick action to legalize expanded gaming.
While the House blocked a proposal for three resort casinos proposed by Gov. Deval L. Patrick two years ago, Mr. DeLeo said he sees approval of expanded gaming as urgent business before the House. He has said he supports creation of slot machine parlors and casinos, but Mr. Patrick has favored resort casinos and opposed slot parlors.
"The debate over the destination gaming issue is not a philosophical one. It is about a fight for job creation," Mr. DeLeo told House members during a formal address.
"It is a fight to expand our tourist attractions, which in turn help drive our economy. It is a fight to get shovels planted in the ground," Mr. DeLeo said.
In a rebuff to Mr. Patrick, Mr. DeLeo indicated he would block expansion of sales taxes to cover candy, soda, coffee drinks, sports drinks, cigars and chewing tobacco that were proposed yesterday by the governor.
Mr. DeLeo said unemployment insurance taxes on businesses are expected to skyrocket this year.
"This is unacceptable," Mr. DeLeo said.
He also committed to an effort to better link the state's technical high schools, community colleges and universities to specific growth industries, including biotechnology, health care, and clean energy technology.
The speaker made a specific appeal to businesses across the state to employ local youths in summer jobs this year and asked consumers to support local businesses as a way of promoting job growth in their communities.
Also on Beacon Hill today, bills to prohibit texting while driving and to ban high-calorie, high-sodium and high-fat foods, including soda, from school cafeterias were advancing. The House was set to vote on a school nutrition bill today, and the Transportation Committee advanced a bill that would ban texting while driving and prohibit junior drivers from talking on cell phones while driving, setting it up for formal action by the Legislature.


Ruby-red colour with some depth, a little lighter on the edge. The nose is softly full with a well-concentrated core of dark-red berry fruit and raspberry liqueur, entwined with dark herbs, savoury red florals and suggestions of whole bunch stalk-like perfumes.
Medium-full bodied, the palate has softly packed flavours of dark-red berry fruits with raspberry notes and dark herbs at the heart. Dark-red florals, savoury stalk perfumes, liquorice and spice notes emerge in the glass.
The palate has good depth and the fruit is supported by fine-grained tannin extraction lending texture and structure, with integrated acidity. The wine carries to a soft, lingering finish of dark-red fruits, herbs and a little spice. This is a softly concentrated Pinot Noir with dark-red berry fruit and dark herbs, floral and spice notes on a fine-structured palate.
Match with poultry, pork and lamb dishes.
The Scarborough Pinot, is a complete contrast to the Vavasour Pinot. It's seen little oak, but the purity of fruit really shines. Smells like an Otago Pinot, was the mouth feel of a $500+ Burgundy.

Frost/Nixon is a 2008 British-American historical drama film based on the 2006 play of the same name by Peter Morgan, who also adapted the screenplay. The film tells the story behind the Frost/Nixon interviews of 1977. The film was directed by Ron Howard. It was produced for Universal Pictures by Howard, Brian Grazer of Imagine Entertainment, and Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner of Working Title Films, and received five Oscar nominations, including Best Picture, Best Actor, and Best Director.
The film reunites its original two stars from the West End and Broadway productions of the play: Michael Sheen as British television broadcaster David Frost and Frank Langella as former United States President Richard Nixon. It was released in the United States on December 5, 2008, and in the United Kingdom on January 23, 2009.

After the Watergate scandal of 1972 and his subsequent resignation in 1974, 400 million people worldwide watched Nixon leave the White House. Among them is British journalist David Frost, currently recording a talk show in Australia, who decides to interview Nixon.
Nixon's literary agent, Irving Lazar, believes the interview would be an opportunity for Nixon to salvage his reputation, and to make some money. Lazar demands $500,000, and ultimately gets $600,000 and Frost accepts.
After persuading his friend and producer John Birt that the interviews would be a success, Frost and Birt travel to California to meet with Nixon. On the plane to California, Frost flirts with a young woman called Caroline Cushing, and they begin a relationship.
Frost struggles to sell the interviews to American networks, and decides to finance the project with private money and syndicate the broadcast of the interviews. He hires two investigators — Bob Zelnick and James Reston Jr. — to help him prepare, along with Birt. Frost is not clear on what he wants from the interview, and Reston encourages him to aim for a confession from Nixon.
Under scrutiny by Nixon's post-presidential chief of staff, Jack Brennan, Frost and Nixon embark on the first three recording sessions. Frost is restricted by an agreed-upon timeframe and, under pressure from his own team, attempts to ask tough questions, but Nixon dominates the sessions regarding the Vietnam War and his achievements in foreign policy. Behind the scenes, Frost's editorial team is nervous about the interviewer's technique and angry that Nixon appears to be exonerating himself.
Four days before the final interview, which will focus on Watergate, Frost receives a phonecall from an inebriated Nixon. In a drunken rant, Nixon declares that they both know the final interview will make or break their careers, and compares himself to Frost, insisting that they both came from humble backgrounds and had to struggle to make it to the top of their fields, only to be knocked back down again. Frost gains new insight into his subject, while Nixon assures Frost that he will do everything in his power to emerge the victor from the final interview.
The conversation spurs Frost into action. He works relentlessly for three days to prepare, while Reston pursues a lead at the Federal Courthouse in Washington.
As the final interview begins, Frost ambushes Nixon with damning transcripts of a conversation between Nixon and Charles Colson that Reston dug up in Washington. As his own team watches in horror from an adjoining room, Nixon admits that he did unethical things, adding, "When the President does it, that means it's not illegal." A stunned Frost is on the verge of inducing a confession when Brennan bursts in and stops the recording. After Nixon and Brennan confer, the interview resumes, Frost aggressively pursues his original line of questioning, and Nixon admits that he participated in a cover-up and that he "let the American people down."
After the interview, Frost and Caroline pay a farewell visit to Nixon at his villa. Frost thanks Nixon for the interviews and Nixon, graciously admitting defeat, thanks Frost in return and wishes him well, privately adding that he has no recollection of calling Frost while drunk. He also for the first time addresses Frost by his first name. Nixon watches Frost and Caroline Cushing leave and then leans over a railing of his villa, looking out at the sunset.
An epilogue states that the interviews were wildly successful and that Nixon never escaped controversy until his death in 1994.

Other figures and personalities depicted in the film include Tricia Nixon Cox, Michael York, Hugh Hefner, helicopter pilot Gene Boyer (as himself), Raymond Price, Ken Khachigian, Sue Mengers and Jay White as Neil Diamond. To prepare for his role as Richard Nixon, Frank Langella visited the Richard Nixon Presidential Library in Yorba Linda, California, and interviewed many people who had known the former president.[2] On the set, the cast and crew addressed Langella as "Mr. President."
Frost/Nixon had its world premiere on October 15, 2008 as the opening film of the 52nd annual London Film Festival.[3] It was released in three theaters in the United States on December 5 before expanding several times over the following weeks.[4] It was released in the United Kingdom and expanded into wide status in the United States on January 23, 2009.[3]
The film was released on DVD and Blu-ray on April 21, 2009.[5] Special features include deleted scenes, the making of the film, the real interviews between Frost and Nixon, the Nixon Presidential Library and a feature commentary with Ron Howard.[5]
Frost/Nixon had a limited release at three theaters on December 5, 2008 and grossed $180,708 in its opening weekend, ranking number 22.[6] Opening wide at 1,099 theaters on January 23, 2009, the film grossed $3,022,250 at the box office in the United States and Canada, ranking number 16.[6] The film's gross for Friday, January 30 was estimated the next day at $420,000.[7] Frost/Nixon grossed an estimated $18,622,031 in the United States and Canada and $8,804,304 in other territories for a total of $27,426,335 worldwide, recouping its $25 million budget by a thin margin.[8]
On review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 93% based on 254 reviews, with a weighted average score of 8/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "Frost/Nixon is weighty and eloquent; a cross between a boxing match and a ballet with Oscar worthy performances."[9] Metacritic gives the film an average score of 80 out of 100, based on 38 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[10]
Critic Roger Ebert gave the film four stars, commenting that Langella and Sheen "do not attempt to mimic their characters, but to embody them."[11] Peter Travers of Rolling Stone gave the film 3½ stars, saying that Ron Howard "turned Peter Morgan's stage success into a grabber of a movie laced with tension, stinging wit and potent human drama."[12] Writing for Variety, Todd McCarthy praised Langella's performance in particular, stating, "[B]y the final scenes, Langella has all but disappeared so as to deliver Nixon himself."[13] René Rodríguez of The Miami Herald gave the film two stars and commented that the picture "pales in comparison to Oliver Stone's Nixon when it comes to humanizing the infamous leader" despite writing that the film "faithfully reenacts the events leading up to the historic 1977 interviews."[14] Manohla Dargis of The New York Times said, "[S]tories of lost crowns lend themselves to drama, but not necessarily audience-pleasing entertainments, which may explain why Frost/Nixon registers as such a soothing, agreeably amusing experience, more palliative than purgative."[15]
Dramatic license and factual inaccuracies
Both the film and the play take dramatic license with the on-air and behind-the-scene details of the Nixon interviews.[16][17] Jonathan Aitken, one of Nixon's official biographers who spent much time with the former president at La Casa Pacifica, rebukes the film for its portrayal of a drunken Nixon making a late-night phone call as never having happened and says it is "from start to finish, an artistic invention by the scriptwriter Peter Morgan."[18] Director Ron Howard discussed the scene in detail on his feature commentary for the DVD release, pointing out it was a deliberate act of dramatic license, and while Frost never received such a phone call, "it was known that Richard Nixon, during ...the Watergate scandal, had occasionally made midnight phone calls that he couldn't very well recall the following day."[17] Aitken recalls that "Frost did not ambush Nixon during the final interview into a damaging admission of guilt. What the former president 'confessed' about Watergate was carefully pre-planned. It was only with considerable help and advice from his adversary's team that Frost managed to get much more out of Nixon, in the closing sequences, by reining in his fierce attitude and adopting a gentler approach."[18] Elizabeth Drew of the Huffington Post and author of Richard M. Nixon (2007) noted some inaccuracies, including a misrepresentation of the end of the interviews, the failure to mention the fact that Nixon received 20% of the profits from the interviews, and what she says are inaccurate representations of some of the characters. Drew points out a critical line in the movie that is particularly deceptive: Nixon admitted he "'...was involved in a 'cover-up,' as you call it.' The ellipsis is of course unknown to the audience, and is crucial: What Nixon actually said was, 'You're wanting me to say that I participated in an illegal cover-up. No!'"[19]
David Edelstein of New York wrote that the film overstates the importance of its basis, the Frost interviews, stating it "elevates the 1977 interviews Nixon gave (or, rather, sold, for an unheard-of $600,000) to British TV personality David Frost into a momentous event in the history of politics and media."[20] Edelstein also noted that "with selective editing, Morgan makes it seem as if Frost got Nixon to admit more than he actually did."[20] Edelstein wrote that the film "is brisk, well crafted, and enjoyable enough, but the characters seem thinner (Sheen is all frozen smiles and squirms) and the outcome less consequential."[20]
Fred Schwarz, writing for the conservative National Review online, said that, "Frost/Nixon is an attempt to use history, assisted by plenty of dramatic license, to retrospectively turn a loss into a win. By all accounts, Frost/Nixon does a fine job of dramatizing the negotiations and preparation that led up to the interviews. And it's hard to imagine Frank Langella, who plays a Brezhnev-looking Nixon, giving a bad performance. Still, the movie's fundamental premise is just plain wrong."[21] Though generally approving, critic Daniel Eagan notes that partisans on both sides have questioned the accuracy of the film's script.[22]
Caroline Cushing Graham, in a December 2008 interview, noted that her first trip with Frost was to the Muhammad Ali fight in Zaire, and that the two had been together for more than five years prior to when the film shows the two meeting. She remembered Frost as feeling that he did a pretty good job on every interview, whereas the film depicts him feeling he did a poor job with the first two interviews. She added that while the movie shows Frost driving, in fact they were always chauffeured because he was always making notes for the work he was doing.[23]
The film implies that Nixon and Frost were meeting for the first time in 1977 for these interviews, but in fact Frost had interviewed Nixon for U.S. network television in 1968 as part of a series of interviews of leading candidates in the Presidential election of that year.
Diane Sawyer, portrayed in the film in her role as one of Nixon's researchers, said in December 2008 that, "Jack Brennan is portrayed as a stern military guy," citing both the play and what she'd heard about the film version. "And he's the funniest guy you ever met in your life, an irreverent, wonderful guy. So there you go. It's the movies."[24]
An early scene in the film set on the southern shore of Sydney Harbour in 1974, with the Sydney Opera House as a backdrop, shows buildings adjacent to the iconic structure which did not exist until 1998.

The trans-European transport network has different effects at interregional macro-regional and mezzo-regional level, and its effectiveness rises at the lower regional levels. Possible approaches to the trans-European transport network impact and effect survey and policy options have been pointed out. In that respect the brief review of survies, strategic framework and policies in European Union has been given. The importance of increased accessibility and mobility for regional expansion and for more balanced and polycentric system of city networks has been underlined. The question is how the new major transport infrastructure affects the development of functional complementarity between cities and regions. The new trans-European or major transport infrastructure does not per se create regional and urban system network development, although it can affect the conditions for the processes that create growth and development. The effects can be increased by co-ordination of measures of regional and urban policy, land use, transport and other policies. The necessary measure is the introduction of spatial impact assessment as sectorial policy instrument for the large transport infrastructure projects.

When we think of Alberta's natural resources, most of us tend to default to oil, oilsands, or maybe natural gas. Some may think of our timber resources, or maybe agriculture. But rare metals? If a Canadian company is successful with some new discoveries its making, Alberta could be set to unleash a whole new kind of natural resource in the coming years—and with it, perhaps, a more diversified economic base.
Toronto-based DNI Metals Inc. has been poking around in some of the shale deposits in northern Alberta, looking for a series of rare metals that are often difficult to find or extract. Elements such as molybdenum (Mo), nickel (Ni), uranium (U), vanadium (V), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), cobalt (Co) and lithium (Li) sound more like things you'd study on the periodic table of elements in high school chemistry than up-and-coming resources in Alberta. Who's ever heard of vanadium?
But at DNI's polymetallic black shale projects in the Athabasca region of northern Alberta (at a project DNI calls its Buckton inferred resource), such rare metals are being discovered. Now DNI is looking for a way to extract them and make the project commercially successful.
Curiously, the press release did not garner much attention in Alberta, and it was not until I was attending a conference in Toronto this week that I even heard about it. Apparently it's on at least some radar screens out east!
Still, the news is encouraging—and it's hard not to get ahead of ourselves in thinking about what such a resource could do to expand and diversify Alberta's natural resources. Every type of natural resource discovery would have started out with approximately the same cautiously written press release… we're not sure if this can be economically feasible, but we're encouraged enough by what we found to issue a press release, and we're going to explore this some more.
Here's wishing success to DNI Metals Inc.

Lake Osoyoos Cup on tap this weekend
Statesman-Examiner
sports@statesmanexaminer.com
Northwest Jet Sports watercross racing into Rounds 3 and 4 this coming weekend as Lake Osoyoos Cup action hits Deep Bay Park.
Competing under the American Water Sports Association this year, the northwest tour includes the Lake Osoyoos Cup and the Apple Pie Jamboree, which took place July 20-21 in Pateros.
"We're expecting one of our best turnouts ever at Lake Osoyoos," promoter and race director Roger Harnack said. "We're hoping the turnout exceeds our opening rounds on the Columbia River in Pateros.
Appearing on OpenLine last Friday, Okanogan County residents tuned in to hear about the upcoming race.
"We have classes for everyone," Harnack said. "If you've never raced before, this is a great place to get into the sport."
Indeed, Northwest Jet Sports had a solid beginner turnout at Apple Pie Jamboree, with three racing beginner ski, two first-time racers in the X2 class and four youngsters in the Junior 10-12 ranks. Another first-time racer was entered the women's class.
With seven racers on the line, Apple Pie Jamboree also boasted the largest women's ski class in the region – which includes Oregon, Washington and Idaho – in at least a decade.
The Apple Pie Jamboree kicked off with a parade Friday night; racers were allowed to enter their watercraft, but none did this year.
The community-wide event resumed Saturday with a bass fishing tournament launching at 4 a.m., followed by a 5K color run at 8 a.m.
The watercross action kicked off about 11 a.m. after the presentation of the National Anthem. Okanogan County Sheriff's Deputy Dave Yarnell piloted a law enforcement ski while Apple Pie Jamboree Committee President Tracy Wilson carried the flag, presenting the flag as the National Anthem played.
Other Apple Pie Jamboree activities, including a large 3-on-3 basketball tournament paused as the anthem played.
Doug Wolff manned the tower, and certified rescue diver Archie Dennis anchored nearby.
Angela Clements and Jen Effrig handled registration, scoring and announcing as they have done in the region for years. Wayne Hilsinger manned one of the course marshal skis while his wife, Katie, served as a spotter for Dennis.
Harnack manned the other rescue ski as Yarnell and Okanogan County Sheriff's Office Deputy Josh Brown patrolled the Columbia River keeping other boats at bay.
Racing continued throughout the day, with only a 20-minute lunch break to allow bass boats into the docks to weigh in fish.
After 26 motos, racers pulled their skis and pit area, making way for pyrotechnicians to set up the evening's half-hour-long fireworks display.
The action continued Sunday, with only one on-water incident as a minor collision sent the hood of 550 rider Seth McNeil's boat flying.
Sunday's course marshal's, Harnack and Mike Reynolds, quickly got to the area, with Reynolds tending to McNeil and Harnack towing the ski back to the docks.
McNeil was uninjured; he pumped the water out of his boat and fired it up, returning to the line later in a later moto.
After an additional 26 motos, the racing concluded without any injuries.
"It was a great weekend of racing," Harnack said. "We're ready to go again."
And go again they will.
The Lake Osoyoos Cup gets underway Friday, Aug. 31, with course set up and camping opening in Deep Bay Park.
Racing is set for 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday on Lake Osoyoos, which lies have in the U.S. And half in Canada.
Several Western Canadian Watercross Association members are expected to join in the action.
"It's going to be 90 degrees and the water is great," Harnack said. "See you in Oroville."

The Lord hath laid on Him the iniquity of us all. – Isaiah 53:6.
Thus did Isaiah prophesy concerning Christ, the promised Messiah. He spoke as if these things were then already accomplished. Of course, today they stand as having been fully accomplished. The Lord did lay "on Him the iniquity of us all", and we are free and saved eternally.
These are the glad tidings brought to us now. But how few there are that believe these glad tidings! Many are offended at Christ Crucified. Flesh and blood, in looking at Him, behold no form nor comeliness, no beauty such as they would rather see. He is despised and rejected of men, a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. Man, as it were, hides his face from Him; natural man esteems Him not. Yet the Lord laid on Him the iniquity of us all. Surely He has borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows. He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities. The chastisement of our peace was upon Him, and with His stripes we are healed. We are all as sheep gone astray; but the Lord has laid on Him the iniquities of us all. He was the blameless and patient Lamb of God that bore the sins of the world. It pleased God so to bruise Him. He has made His soul an offering for sin.
They who are born of God know this, and behold this, and delight in it. And even He, our Savior, delights in the congregation of believers which has sprung from His sowing of blood and from the travail of His soul. By His knowledge He – the righteous Servant of God – justifies many; for He bore their iniquities. Despite the unbelief of many, the portion of His spoil is large, His victory is great, because He has poured out His soul unto death, and was numbered with the transgressors, and bore the sin of the world, and made intercession for the transgressors. – And you, too, O Christian, share in the victory of His vicarious work of redemption. Your sin, also, did the Lord lay upon Him.
PRAYER. – I give thanks to Thee, crucified Redeemer, because Thou didst bear my sin, and didst make me righteous in the sight of God. I thank Thee for the blood Thou didst shed and for Thy death on the cross. When I contemplate this, my soul is delighted in Thee. For this is my salvation. I thank Thee that – through Thy most precious Gospel – Thou didst pluck me, a poor sinner, from out of the unbelieving world, and through faith in Thee, didst make me a portion of Thy spoil, having made satisfaction for all my sins. I trust and rejoice in Thee, dear Jesus! Amen.
He becomes the Lamb that taketh sin away, and for aye full atonement maketh.
For our life His own He tenders, and our race, by His grace, meet for glory renders.
Let me in my arms receive Thee; on Thy breast let me rest, Savior, ne'er to leave Thee.
Since Thou hast Thyself presented now to me, I shall be evermore contented.


LUCAS LEIVA watched and admired as Luis Suarez made a huge impact at Anfield this season.
The Brazilian knows from experience how difficult it can be to adapt to the demands of the English top flight.
However, Suarez slotted in seamlessly following his £22.8million switch from Ajax at the end of the January transfer window. His tireless work rate, breathtaking skills and clinical finishing swiftly earned him cult status among Reds supporters.
And Liverpool's player of the year has warned Premier League defenders that the Uruguayan, who scored four goals in 13 appearances, will be even sharper next season.
"Luis has only been at Liverpool four months but what's he done already is amazing," Lucas said.
"We all knew when he signed that we had got a really good striker. He had proved that at the World Cup and at Ajax where he scored a lot of goals.
"But he has settled so quickly and you can see he really feels at home.
"It's great because you can play the ball to him and he creates things for us. Luis has been really important for us and the fans already love him.
"Opponents will know him better next season and that will make it harder for him. But I'm sure he will be able to cope with that.
"Luis is only 24 and still improving. I'm sure next season he will be able to play at a really high level.
Lucas may find himself lining up against Suarez before they return to Melwood later this summer.
The Reds duo could meet in the knockout stages of the Copa America which takes place in Argentina from July 1 to 24. Brazil are in the same group as Paraguay, Ecuador and Venezuela, while Suarez's Uruguay face Chile, Mexico and Peru.
Lucas has been enjoying a well earned break on his farm in his homeland this week before linking up with the Brazil squad next Wednesday.
They face friendlies against Dirk Kuyt's Holland in Goiania on June 4 and Romania three days later in Sao Paulo. Coach Mano Menezes will then whittle his squad down from 28 to 22 for the Copa America but Lucas is expected to make the cut.
"When I'm on holiday I really like going to my farm," he said.
"I love spending time there and breathing the fresh air. There are no mobile phones and no internet. It's good to switch off and try to rest.
Lucas deservedly landed the Reds' player of the season award in recognition of his efforts throughout a turbulent campaign.
The midfielder has come a long way since the tough start to his Anfield career following his arrival from Gremio for £5million in 2007. And the 24-year-old says he owes a debt of gratitude to former boss Rafa Benitez.
"I'm a lucky man because a lot of people have always tried to help me," he said. "My family are the most important thing, especially for the help they give me in difficult moments.
"My manager at Gremio who is now in charge of the national team has also been really important for me.
"Then there's Rafa. He brought me to Liverpool and helped me to develop as a player. When I first came to the club the expectation was really high. I'm Brazilian but not everyone is a really skilful player like Romario or Ronaldinho. At that time I wasn't ready to play in the Premier League. My body wasn't ready – I was still growing and developing.
Since Kenny Dalglish took over at Anfield in January Lucas has gone from strength to strength and he's full of praise for the way the Scot has transformed the Reds following the shortlived reign of Roy Hodgson.
"Kenny has changed the whole atmosphere in the club," he said.
"The spirit in the team is better. Kenny knows how important it is to give players confidence to perform.
"He's really relaxed and tells us not to be scared to make mistakes.
"I've really enjoyed it. I know how hard I worked to be at this stage and I have to make sure I keep improving.

The recent news that the majority of the top ten lenders have declared they will use 'all monies charges' to repossess homes if borrowers struggle with non-mortgage debts should be cause for concern to conveyancing practitioners.
More repossessions equals increased file reviews and inevitably the spotlight being placed on the lender handbook compliance.
A review of Marsh statistics on lender claims in England and Wales from 2011 to 2014 showed that around 40 per cent of the cost of conveyancing claims arises from breaching various disclosure obligations set out in the CML Handbook requirements. And this was a period when repossessions were low. Undoubtedly lenders choose the breaches that are easiest to prove, and support the lenders' position that they would not have proceeded with the loan had they known the information that was not provided by the law firm.
A further consequence of a lender repossessing a home for a non-mortgage debt is the inevitable questioning as to whether a firm's Report on Title adequately explained the implications of an all monies charge. Although we are approaching Halloween I do not wish to take on the role of the Profit of Doom. Yet I can foresee the potential nightmare of a client looking to blame a lawyer if they have nothing in writing adequately explaining the meaning of such a charge.
Lexsure are running a specific webinar next month on the the topic of what to include in your Report on Title with an emphasis on the mortgage section of the Report. Bookings can be made here.

A Pastoral Ballad IV: Disappointment Sonnet XVI: In Nature Apt If?


Is reciprocal linking bad? This is the practice where you place a link on your site, in exchange for someone else doing the same back to you from theirs. I think the answer to this question depends on your site, how well known it is already. Because if you have a new website with few or no backlinks coming to it, then getting reciprocal links can help you to get started, to help you create your 'web presence'.
On the other hand if you have an older established website that is already decently ranked by the search engines, then reciprocal linking can be bad. By linking to other sites, you lend your good credibility to them and can thus dilute what you have. So as your site moves up the ranking ladder, you don't want to be linking to sites of lesser or questionable value.
Give it a good name like "Partners" or "Sites We Recommend". Don't call it your backlink page.
Place links on the page that really will be helpful to your website visitors.
Include not only sites that are linking to you – also link to sites that don't. Magazine sites about your industry, trade groups, and any other sites people might consider 'helpful' to them.
Do you really need backlinks?
I've worked SEO for some years now, and remember fondly (not) how I would put my websites into various directories, lists, blogs and phone books. Spent quite a bit of time doing it, and today find that it means next to nothing.
So I saw the image below recently on Wikipedia, under Page Rank, which clearly shows that 1 good backlink will trump a hundred lesser backlinks every time, (the orange website C). Even though website B (red) has lots more backlinks, website C is almost as high with just the single link coming into its site from a highly ranked site.
So the point I would make here is this: stop wasting your time on getting lots of poor back links. Instead concentrate on getting authority backlinks – backlinks that are from "quality" websites relevant to your own. I'll write a another post on this, because it is important enough to deserve its own space.
And to be clear on one point. For a new website just starting out, the lesser known backlinks can and do help to get your site discovered around the web.

Gary Neville: Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool in danger of becoming static, safe and predictable
Jurgen Klopp said Liverpool's draw with Southampton was "not the end of the world"
Emre Can's acrobatic finish saw Liverpool earn a 1-0 win against Watford
By Jack Austin
Liverpool are in danger of becoming a "static, safe and predictable" club unless they improve upon their Plan A, according to former Manchester United defender Gary Neville.
Jurgen Klopp's side limped to a goalless draw against Southampton on Sunday but still managed to keep hold of third place in the Premier League and hold the advantage over the likes of Manchester City, Arsenal and Manchester United in the race for the top four.
The Reds have played a game more than United and City, and two more than Arsenal, but would still remain in the Champions League places if their rivals win their games in hand.
And while Liverpool have been outstanding against fellow top-six sides this season, it is the mid-to-lower table teams whom they have struggled against most. In the 21 matches against teams in the bottom half of the table this season, Liverpool have only won 10, while losing six and drawing five – taking just 35 points from a possible 63.
Neville believes the reason for this is that they have lacked the attacking football they showed at the start of the season which is needed when teams set up for the draw against them.
"I think that over the last two or three months, or maybe longer than that, teams that sit back against Liverpool and make it very difficult for them are their Achilles heel," Neville said on Sky Sports' Monday Night Football.
"They can't beat lesser teams at home. Teams that come out against them and are expansive [Liverpool] are OK, they can play the combinations and be quick on the break.
"People talk about 'do they need a Plan B?' Maybe actually improving on Plan A is something they've stopped doing.
"Me and Jamie [Carragher] could have played as centre backs in that game for Southampton because they weren't shifted anywhere near enough.
"Liverpool, the nature of the club, they will always come up against inferior teams who will come and defend deep. They have got to do Plan A better.

"They have stopped making those little corner runs, those positions where they show and pinging people in on the edge of the box. If they play the likes of Firmino, Origi, Sturridge, whoever it might be, they've got to get them making those runs again.
"Because when they don't they become static, safe and predictable and for me that's the problem at the moment."

The Moral of the Story….
Garish makeup, loud costumes (which you wouldn't even wear for the friendly neighborhood fancy dress competition), cheesy dialogues, even sleazier dance moves and plot lines which were busy waging a war against logic. If you are a 90s kid you would know what I am talking about; yes I am talking about the, they-are-so-bad-that-they-are-good, Hindi movies from the 90s.
But yes, coming back, I (and I am sure a lot of you) grew up on these films. And ofcourse there were the serious films…the arty types…though I wonder why they were called arty, because besides great plots and wonderful performances, they weren't very artistic or pleasing to the eye. So you were left with either movies wherein the film makers proudly asked you to leave your brains behind or movies which were so depressing to watch that you'd rather not.
The 'main dil main aata hoon dimaag mein nahin' brand of movies had infact made me quite not the movie buff. I remember not going to the cinema hall for a Hindi movie for about 4-5 years (the only exception being Jungle Book)…and guess what I did not think I missed anything.
It was last year that I went for a Hindi movie in years…the movie in question – Lipstick Under my Burqa. My reasons for going were defiance more than anything. I expected it to be the arty types, dull, boring, slogging on for ages…so much so that you are no longer interested in the message. But to my surprise, here was an extremely well written, rightly paced, well-made movie. No NanaPatekarisue lengthy monologues and no melodrama. In fact despite a complicated and often misunderstood subject on women emancipation, the movie was vibrant, witty and funny, while very aptly conveying the message. It left one with a thought, a sense of power, a sense of hope. I was impressed, this was a new Bollywood.
Close on the heels came Bariely ki Barfi – An out and out commercial film, the masala types, but once again well written, humorous, witty, very intelligently and subtly challenging stereotypes.
Subh mangal Savdhan (minus the whats-going-on climax) came right after, a film on erectile dysfunction without a grim, gloomy storyline a-la arty films of the 90s.
And now as I end up watching Stree twice within a span of a week and with Race 3 memes still fresh in my memory, I wonder what has changed?
I would say the hero! Looks like we are finally waking up to the fact that it's the story telling and the writing which are the real heroes. It's heartening when the writers are generously mentioned in movie reviews and conversations. Because what are films if not another far reaching medium to tell stories.
Tell me which are your favourite well written Bollywood movies in recent times? To more great stories!!
Now a days it is rare to find a film which makes sense after watching. Because, most of the films are filled with very obvious scenes and overly done actions scenes and not to forget the fact that almost every more ends with a climax where hero comes to rescue the heroine. Among such audacities, lipstick under burkha, raazi, pink, and few more films that were creatively halts my thoughts of quitting to watch bollywood movies.
Raid is a wonderful movie, recent animated Hollywood one which is my favorite was "Ferdinand" must watch 🙂 of you love cartoon movies.
Raazi is a must watch !! Others I haven't watched !!
Oh yes Raazi was great….
Why would you see Race 3? Why? I've seen the others though. Have to see Stree though.
I loved Raazi recently. I've watched it twice already.
I've been recommended kuch bheege alfaz and qarib qarib single by my friend.. hopefully, I'll watch them soon.
Hey thanks for adding.. I am yet to watch it.. Will do this weekend..

Weekly Round-Up: Daniel Radcliffe on 'The Philosopher's Stone' 20th Anniversary, 'Beauty and the Beast' Prequel Confirmed & More!
Posted by: Kim McChesney

March is off to a flying start with news of a Harry Potter Funko Pop! Pin collection, Warner Bros. new Imagine Creative Careers initiative, and Evanna Lynch joining the Leakycon Denver lineup. Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone won the 2020 "Winner of Winners" Blue Peter Book Award, Zynga announced the launch of the new Wizarding World mobile game Harry Potter: Puzzles and Spells and we interviewed writer and director Francis Annan ahead of the release of Daniel Radcliffe's latest film Escape to Pretoria.
This week in our Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts Round-Up a Beauty and the Beast prequel series is announced with speculation of a guest appearance for Emma Watson, Daniel Radcliffe talks the Philosopher's Stone 20th Anniversary in a new Escape from Pretoria interview, Batman director Matt Reeves reveals Robert Pattinson's Batmobile, Jason Isaacs is cast in an upcoming CBS series, Evanna Lynch leads a new EU short film, No Time To Die starring Ralph Fiennes postpones its release due to coronavirus worries and more.
Rumor: Could Emma Watson Reprise Her Role in the Beauty and the Beast Prequel Series?
Late this week THR broke the news that Beauty and the Beast characters Gaston and LeFou are getting a small screen origin story. According to the entertainment outlet the actors that played the roles in the 2017 live action remake, Luke Evans and Josh Gad will star in the six-episode musical series for Disney Plus. Award-winning composer Alan Menken has signed on for the project, as have showrunners Eddy Kitsis and Adam Horowitz of Once Upon a Time fame. Why is this big news for Harry Potter fans? The article goes on to tease a possible reprisal of her role in the Disney mega hit by Hermione Granger herself, Emma Watson,
No other stars from the film — like Emma Watson and Dan Stevens — are currently attached, though sources say there is a possibility that they could pop in for a guest spot.
No other word on the yet unnamed Beauty and the Beast TV debut, but we will definitely keep our Extendable Ears at the ready.
Daniel Radcliffe on a Philosopher's Stone 20th Anniversary
With two films out in the span of a week, Daniel Radcliffe has definitely made the media rounds lately, all while starring in Endgame at the Old Vic Theatre. Last week we covered two interviews he gave for his most recent release, Escape from Pretoria, the true story of anti-apartheid activist Tim Jenkin's 1979 attempt to break out of a maximum security prison in South Africa. In addition to numerous reviews for the film, a plethora of additional interviews with the former Boy Wizard appeared online this week. In them, he discusses everything from his early poetry to his diagnosis with dyspraxia, his picture in the National Portrait Gallery to working with former teenage crushes, in addition to details about his work in the new prison break drama.
The interview that really cast a spell on us this week was a chat Radcliffe had with PopBuzz. In it his host broached the subject of the Philosopher's Stone film's 20th Anniversary next year, November 14, 2021. We've been speculating about the event for awhile, but this is the first time we've seen it mentioned in an interview. Radcliffe replied that he "wouldn't rule it out." That sounds like mediaspeak to us for "My agent's already got it on the calendar, but we don't have any details yet." Interestingly the next Fantastic Beasts film is due out just two days before on November 12, 2021. The possibility of whatever is being brewed up by the Wizarding World for that weekend is mind blowing. Think Seamus and pyrotechics.
Take a look at the PopBuzz interview first, then a few other recent Radcliffe interviews, including this one from Esquire LatinoAmerica Escape from Pretoria opened in theaters Friday, March 6. ICYMI- check out our EXCLUSIVE interview with the film's writer and director Francis Annan.
Robert Pattinson's Batmobile Revealed
Accio Batman! Little by little fans are being treated to reveals of Robert Pattinson's transformation to the next Caped Crusader. Last month Director Matt Reeves posted a first look at Pattinson in his Batsuit ahead of a whole slew of leaked production images of the Batcycle and a scene in a cemetery. Reeves went back to Twitter again this week to unveil Pattinson's Batmobile. According to THR
"The Batmobile's appearance in Reeves film is the first time since Batman (1966) and its TV series of the same name, which featured a Lincoln-Futura, that the vehicle actually retains the shape and body of a car, one you could picture driving down the highways without overturning everything in its path."
How excited are you to see our Cedric Diggory as the next Defender of Gotham? Might the next reveal include an image of Pattinson with Fantastic Beasts Zoe Kravitz as Catwoman or Colin Farrell as the Penguin? We can't wait and we'll deliver the news to you via Owl Post as soon as we hear!
Jason Isaacs Returns to Television
As Harry Potter fans know, Jason Isaacs, the brilliant actor who played Death Eater Lucius Malfoy, is no stranger to the role of baddie. Aside from his Death Eater roots, his resume boasts a daunting list of villains including Peter Pan's Captain Hook, Colonel William Tavington in The Patriot, Dr. Hunter Hap in Netflix's since cancelled sci-fi fantasy The OA and Captain Lorca in season one of Star Trek Discovery just to name a few. It's no surprise then that the creative team behind the upcoming family medical drama Good Sam tapped Isaacs to play the series antagonist opposite co-star Sophia Bush. According to Deadline, here's the synopsis and description of Isaacs' character Dr. Paul Griffith,
"Good Sam centers on Sam (Bush), a talented yet stifled heart surgeon who embraces her leadership role after her renowned and pompous boss, Griff (Isaacs), falls into a coma. When he awakens and wants to resume surgery, however, it falls to her to supervise this overbearing blowhard who never acknowledged her talents — and also happens to be her father.
Isaacs' Dr. Paul 'Griff' Griffith is the brilliant, arrogant, unrivaled Chief of Cardiothoracic surgery, a wizard with a scalpel. He's notoriously hard on his residents – none more than his equally gifted daughter, Sam (Bush). But when he suddenly awakens from a months-long coma, he learns that Sam has become the new Chief of Surgery. The only way to resume his job is as her subordinate, an arrangement which, for him, proves harder than heart surgery."
After the abrupt cancellation of The OA two seasons in we couldn't be happier to hear that Isaacs is headed back to the small screen. We'll keep you posted on a premiere date for Good Sam on CBS.
Another villain on deck for Isaacs is in the upcoming animated Scooby Doo movie Scoob. The big screen reboot from Warner Bros and Harry Potter director Chris Columbus features Isaacs voicing one of the iconic antagonists from the original Hanna Barbera cartoons, Dick Dastardly, who brought catch phrases like "Drat, drat and double drat!" and "Curses, foiled again!" into pop culture vernacular. Isaacs' character, a pilot and race car driver whose vehicles carry bombs and traps, will be the main villain in the upcoming film that chronicles how the Scooby Doo gang all met. Scoob opens in theaters May 15, 2020. Take a look at the final trailer where we finally get a sneak peek of Isaacs' Dick Dastardly:
Evanna Lynch Leads EU Short Film Series
Prominent British news outlet The Guardian has teamed up with U.K. production company Headlong to present a series of short films highlighting various individuals across Europe. The series, Europeans is part of the "This is Europe Project" commissioned by The Guardian along with the 2017 drama series Brexit Shorts.
One of the films in the new collection titled Fake Tan features a solo performance by Irish actress Evanna Lynch, best known to Potter fans as quirky Ravenclaw pal Luna Lovegood. In the short she plays the role of an Irish woman whose English boyfriend is returning home to the U.K., perhaps asking how the end of their romantic union mirrors the collective effects of Brexit? Take a look at Fake Tan and see for yourself:
Coronavirus Concerns Postpone Bond 25 Premiere
Ralph Fiennes, Harry Potter's Dark Lord, is set to reprise his role as MI-6 Head Gareth Mallory or M in the upcoming James Bond film No Time to Die. Due to news this week of the rapidly spreading coronavirus, producers and MGM Studios have opted to delay the premiere of the 25th installment of the Bond franchise from April to November.
Screen International deputy editor Louise Tutt told BBC News this about the decision,
"about mitigating the financial risk"[…] "I think they're doing it in anticipation of cinemas closing around the world. Most of them have already closed in China, so even if not another single cinema closed in the world they'd lose the world's second-biggest box office [market] for what's anticipated to be the biggest US release of the year."
To date, we haven't reported any other epidemic-related delays or closings relative to the Wizarding World except Universal Japan's closure until Mid-March. No Time To Die is now set to open November 12, 2020 in the U.K. and November 25, 2020 in the U.S.
Eddie Redmayne Named the Face of Mobile Coms Company OPPO
We don't report on every endorsement for Wizarding World actors, but this campaign for Chinese electronics and communications company OPPO struck us as pretty magical. Thanks to a heads up from one of his fan accounts, Bespoke Redmayne, we were made aware of this new promotion starring Eddie Redmayne which shows him in the process of preparing for a stage role. We couldn't help but hope that he puts as much care into recreating Newt Scamander for each scene of Fantastic Beasts. You'll see what we mean below at approximately minute 38:40.
In other Redmayne news, according to Showbiz411, the Academy Award winning actor will be stepping into the role of the title character in the upcoming Disney remake of the Scrooge story, Jacob Marley. Bill Condon, director of the 2017 Beauty and the Beast is said to be at the helm of this retelling seen through the eyes of Scrooge's business partner. No other news on this project yet. We hope it's a musical! We'll keep you posted.
A Preview for Kenneth Branagh's Artemis Fowl
The official trailer for the long-awaited film adaptation of Artemis Fowl arrived earlier this week. The Disney fantasy flick is directed by acclaimed stage and screen actor Kenneth Branagh, who played Professor Gilderoy Lockhart in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, and stars Fantastic Beasts Percival Graves, Colin Farrell. If you're not familiar with the popular YA novel by Eoin Colfer, here's the story,
The eponymous Artemis Fowl is essentially a pre-teen Lex Luthor, utilizing his family's vast fortune to wage war on magical creatures he hates/fears. The premise of the first book is that Artemis and his bodyguard kidnap a fairy cop so they can get some of her fairy gold as a ransom, which ends up getting them involved in the drama of the fairy world and gradually softening Artemis up until he becomes more of a good guy (or at least less of a bad guy).
Take a look at first full trailer for Artemis Fowl below. The film, which is being touted as perhaps the next Harry Potter, opens worldwide May 29, 2020.
A New Trailer for Julie Walters in The Secret Garden
Recently Julie Walters, the beloved British actress who played Mrs. Molly Weasley in the Harry Potter films, revealed that she's been successfully treated for stage 3 bowel cancer. During her BBC interview to share the news, she said that as a result of the experience The Secret Garden may be her last film, which makes this first full trailer a pretty special one. For fans that are unfamiliar with the premise of the classic based on the 1911 novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett, here's the official synopsis:
"THE SECRET GARDEN starring Colin Firth, Julie Walters and Dixie Egerickx is a new take on the beloved classic novel of the same name written by Frances Hodgson Burnett. Set in England during a new time period in 1947, the film follows a young orphan girl who, after being sent to live with her uncle, discovers a magical garden on the grounds of his estate."
This latest revival of The Secret Garden comes from Wizarding World producer David Heyman and was written by Cursed Child playwright Jack Thorne. Another bit of trivia for Harry Potter fans: Walters' character Mrs. Medlock was played by another well-loved witch from Hogwarts in the 1993 version of the movie; Dame Maggie Smith, Professor Minerva McGonagall.
Take a look at the new U.S. preview for The Secret Garden which should open in theaters later this year (U.S. date to be confirmed), with the U.K. release due April 10th 2020.
A Look at Kevin Guthrie in The English Game
Fans may not know the name Kevin Guthrie but they will definitely remember his Fantastic Beasts character Abernathy, the American wizard who left MACUSA for a place on the dark side as one of Grindelwald's acolytes. Before we might see his return to the Wizarding World, he'll be seen starring on the small screen in the upcoming series from Downton Abbey creator Julian Fellows, The English Game. Here's how the series is described by Mashable,
"Set in the 19th century, the series follows two footballers on different sides of a class divide. Judging by the trailer, you can expect some North and South-style industrial mill scenes, along with what looks like a very generous helping of the upper echelons — a Fellowes classic."
Get a sneak peek of the six-part drama The English Game below before it premieres on Netflix March 20.
That ends our round-up for the first week of March! Join us back here again next time and stay tuned for a House Pride themed GIVEAWAY we'll be announcing on Monday!
