Vancouver – March 22, 2018 – Crystal Exploration Inc. (the "Company" or "Crystal") (TSX-V: CEI) (OTCQB: CYRTF) (FWB: A2ATHU) – announces that it has entered into a binding letter of intent (the "LOI") signed on March 21, 2018 with PPM Phoenix Precious Metals Corp. ("PPM") wherein the Company was granted a series of options to acquire up to an undivided 75% interest in the Lawyers Property, BC (the "Property"). In order to exercise all of the options, the Company must pay $200,000 (the "Initial Payment") to PPM, issue up to 4,000,000 Consolidated Shares to PPM in three instalments over the next three years, and incur a minimum of $9,000,000 in expenditures on the Property over the next three years, with at least $2,000,000 in expenditures in the first year.
The LOI is subject to certain conditions, including the appointment of Mr. John Williamson as Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Company, the completion of the Company's due diligence compilation of all existing data and technical information on the Property (the "Data Compilation"), the shareholders' approval of a three to one share consolidation of the Company's common shares (the "Consolidation", the Company's consolidated common shares being "Consolidated Shares"), and the acceptance of the LOI by the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange").
The Lawyers Property is situated 45 km northwest of the former Kemess South open pit copper-gold mine, in the Toodoggone region of the Omineca Mining Division of British Columbia, and consists of 37 contiguous mineral claims. The claims cover 9,860 hectares of land that encompass the Lawyers group of prospects, including the former Lawyers underground gold-silver mine and the Silver Pond group of prospects that cover six gold-silver mineral occurrences with an exploration history that parallels that of the Lawyers group. Exploration in the area began in the late 1960s and peaked in the 1980s, identifying numerous showings, prospects and deposits culminating in the development of the Lawyers gold-silver mine that operated from 1989-1992 and produced 171,200 oz gold and 3.6 million oz silver over the 4 year period.Five underground developments remain in-place, in addition to historical resources and new targets. Selected high-grade historical results include: 8.63m @ 9.64g/t gold and 307g/t silver (DDH CC15-06); 2.4m @ 87g/t gold & 2,407g/t silver (P2 vein); and 4.86m @ 9.75g/t gold & 447g/t silver (DDH CC15-12).
(c)An additional 15% (for a total 75% interest) in the Property by issuing the final 1,000,000 Consolidated Shares, and incurring a further $1,500,000 in expenditures on the Property, within the next three years.
Upon the Company earning its largest interest in the Property, the parties will either enter into a joint venture agreement for the further exploration and development of the Property, or, if the Company has acquired a 75% interest, then PPM may elect to sell its 25% interest in the Property to the Company, based on either an independent valuation, or a formula set out in the Agreement based on the Company's market capitalization.The Company will be the operator of the Property.
The terms of the joint venture agreement will include provisions for the dilution of a party's interest, in the event the party does not contribute its proportionate cost share to the further exploration and development of the Property.The interest of any party diluted to 5% or less will be automatically converted into a 2.5% net smelter returns royalty (the "NSR"), with the other party having the right to buy-down one-half of the NSR for $1 million.
In connection with the required financing for the LOI, the Company proposes to complete a non-brokered private placement of up to 50 million units (the "Units") at an offering price of $0.06 per Unit, to raise gross proceeds of up to $3.0 million (the "Offering").Each Unit will consist of one (1) common share of the Company as the share capital is presently constituted, and one (1) share purchase warrant (the "Warrants") to acquire one additional common share at an exercise price of $0.12 per share for a period of two (2) years from the date of closing of the Offering.In the event that the common shares of the Company trade at a closing price greater than $0.14 per share for a period of 10 consecutive days, then the Company may deliver a notice to the Warrant holders that they must exercise their Warrants within the next 30 days, or the Warrants will expire.The net proceeds from the Offering will be used to finance the minimum expenditures on the Property over the next 12 months, as well as to provide the Company with working capital for general and administrative expenses.The terms of the Offering are subject to the acceptance of the Exchange.
The Company has scheduled a special meeting of its shareholders on May 22, 2018 to consider, and if thought fit, to approve the required Consolidation by ordinary resolution. Assuming the proposed Offering is completed and the Consolidation is approved by the shareholders, the effective consolidation-adjusted terms of the Offering will be 16,666,666 Units issued, each Unit consisting of one common share at a price of $0.18 and one Warrant with an exercise price of $0.36 per share, with closing prices greater than $0.42 per share for 10 consecutive days triggering the Company's right to require Warrant holders to exercise within 30 days. Upon completion of the Offering and the Consolidation, but excluding the exercise of any of Crystal's outstanding share purchase warrants, the Company will have 32,139,871 shares outstanding, more or less.
It is anticipated that Mr. Williamson will be appointed immediately as Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Company, and Mr. Jim Greig will continue as President and a director of the Company. Further changes include the immediate appointment of incumbent Company director, Sean Mager, as Chief Financial Officer and retention of Financial Consultant, Jeremy Yaseniuk, as an advisor.

We are ready to go to bed, but our Hu-Dad was busy in his study all day and is just now wrapping things up. Pity us as we are waiting on our slow Hu-Dad.
When can we go to bed?
The good news is our Hu-Dad works from home, so he is almost always here with us in case we need the door opened or snacks served or bellies rubbed. Not that we are spoiled or anything like that.
A Little Prince waiting on the signal to go to the bedroom.
The problem is that he may always be home, but that also means the work is always right there. Some days, he works into the evenings while we are left waiting for the "commute" from the study to the bedroom.
Waiting on the slow Hu-Dad—patiently, more or less.
I am telling you-The Thundering Herd has a VERY RUFF life!! I know it hard when Hu-Dad works later than usual but I'm sure soon after these pictures were taken-all sibes were all cozy in the bedroom!
The best part is – because Hu-Dad works so hard The Herd gets lots of special treats and vacations.
…no signs of "road rage" on that commute!!!
Poor babies! While you're bemoaning your "commute", my Herd thinks you have it easy. After all, my Sibes, and their Shepherd bro, have to walk up stairs to get to bed! The horror! 12 steps. TWELVE! So, while you certainly have fallen upon ruff times, remember those less fortunate! May your commute be quick and peaceful. Ignore those who walk recklessly, or cut you off….
I'm late to read this, hopefully you get notifications when someone comments on these 😛 Leena is the exact same way with my "commute" home from downstairs to upstairs after work!

LEAP Africa 2022 Counter Trafficking in Person (CTIP) Short Film Competition (N1,000,000 prize)
Entries are invited for the LEAP Africa Counter Trafficking in Person (CTIP) Short Film Competition 2022. The CTIP themed short film competition is established to leverage the power of media to inspire and motivate people, move past walls of deep-seated values and beliefs, tap into human emotions- hearts and minds, open pathways for deep and authentic conversations and impact cultural roots.
Human trafficking continues to be a persistent problem in Nigeria in spite of efforts by national, international, and multinational organizations. Although the dangers and the legal consequences of human trafficking are publicized, the problem lingers. According to the 2012 TIP Report, Nigeria serves as a major source, transit, and destination country for women, men, and children subjected to forced labour and sex trafficking. It is noteworthy that during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown from March to April 2020, unsafe migration continued from Nigeria.
Historically, the majority of Nigeria's trafficking victims come from its South-South regions – Delta, Akwa-Ibom, Cross Rivers with the highest numbers from Edo State. Also, an increasing number of victims are recently reported to originate from Northern states especially in the North-Eastern parts of Adamawa, Borno & Yobe.
The power and relevancy of film documentaries for advocacy purposes in the modern world cannot be overemphasized. A film documentary can be used to change or improve society in some way by bringing to light certain causes or injustices – violent practices and abuses – with the hope to help galvanize the communities to change certain attitudes and perceptions. It can also be used to encourage dialogue across different groups of people.

UbuntuOne isn't that interesting of an offer anyway. I don't suspect it to ever be a succes unless the storage / price ratio and the platform support can compete with dropbox. The technology is also not that very hard. The sort of people that would want to run it on their own servers, are already using rsync right now. And since the client side is open sourced, it would not require a lot of effort to compete with them using the same client-side integration.
I'm sorry if this is way out of the scope of the bug report, but I tend to see these type of bug reports as 'canonical needs to make money and we don't like their current choices'.
What I would love to see, is, at the VPS hosting from Canonical.
Preferably with small-scale cloud options. I think there is a large market of websites and intranet-style server, that want to be able to scale when needed, that would like to run Ubuntu servers, and would love the tight integration of hosting support and upstream support. The support could be a censored or private section of launchpad. If it is a software problem, selective developpers could get direct access to the machiene and debug it straight from there.
It would be a very healthy setup, because every improvement to the server-side, would reduce support costs and you get first class information on how your product is actually used and where the issues lie. It would make money on the short term, but it would make the ubuntu server-side the fastest growing and best established server platform.
These advantages would, for my company, but also for me, mean that the price wouldn't have to be that competitive in regard to the budget hosters.
In general, I feel it is a pity Canonical seems to focus their strategy on a few large clients rather than having thousands of smaller ones and for that I was happy to see UbuntuOne. It's just that as a product, it isn't very compelling.


"I had first talked with Cheri a few years ago but I didn't delve to much into what a broker did - because I was nervous. Biggest mistake ever was not getting in touch with her and saving ourselves 2 years of overly high interest rates. Cheri is absolutely incredible at getting you the best possible deal. Within a day of contacting her and submitting our information she presented us with 6 different mortgage scenarios with explicit details. She kept working her magic behind the scenes and ended up getting us an even lower rate than what she had originally quote, far better than any the banks or credit unions were offering us. We get a payment schedule that works for us, we were able to consolidate our credit card debts at a ridiculously low rate. The entire process has been smooth and painless and I am looking forward to recommending her to family and friends who will see the benefits that we do already. Do not make the same mistake that I did by choosing to wait. Call her and wait to be astounded at what she can do for you. Signed - Very happy client!"
"When we were referred to Cheri by our realtor she was our 3rd attempt at getting a mortgage. The first 2 attempts failing was due to the banks not knowing how to mortgage an acreage or appraise one. Cheri new exactly how to help us and we are now moved into our new home. I would definitely use her again and recommend her to my friends and family"
"Cheri has been an amazing broker to us twice now. Always responds quickly and manages to work out any issues in a timely and efficient manner. I recommend her to my family and friends all the time!"
"Cheri is an absolutely fantastic mortgage broker. We have used her multiple times. We have recommended her to friends and they have also been very pleased with the rates that she has secured."
"Thank you, Cheri! I really appreciate your patience with me throughout the whole process.You were so supportive! -Bonnie"
"I am so happy we decided to use a mortgage broker and not our bank. Cheri was so wonderful to work and responded to us quickly anytime we had a questions. Her support was truly amazing!"


National Assembly workers shut down the premises of the federal legislature on Tuesday over unpaid wages and lack of due promotion.
Some of the workers claimed they were owed wages from as far back as 2010.
They also alleged that funds meant for training had been diverted.
The protest lasted between 8.am to about 2:30.pm.
The workers, under the Parliamentary Staff Association of Nigeria (PASAN), National Assembly chapter, carried placards with various inscriptions, such as 'Pay us our ten years entitlements,' 'We demand for our rights,' 'Give us our promotions,' 'Enough is Enough, 'Executive, avoid selective implementation of 2018 budget," among others.
When the Deputy Senate President, Senator Ike Ekweremadu, arrived at the Assembly, he was prevented from going into the Senate chamber with the workers chanting "no sitting".
The angry workers also prevented him from addressing them.
Soon after Saraki began his address through a public address system, the workers started booing him and other members of his entourage.
But despite the booing and interruptions, Saraki managed to make a commitment to the workers that they were on the same page on the issues raised and that a lasting solution would be arrived at soon.
Following their congress last Thursday, the parliamentary workers came up with a communiqué, in which they enumerated their grievances and stated their conditions.
They said in line with the National Assembly Service Commission (NASC) Act, the commission had in 2010 instituted the Consolidated Legislative Salary Structure (CONLESS) for its staff, which provided for 100 percent increment on the then existing salary. They said only 22 percent was approved in the first instance with a proviso that the balance increment would be effected after every two years but in vain.
They also said both Senate President Bukola Saraki and Speaker Yakubu Dogara, in line with their statutory mandate, should take urgent steps to nominate members of the National Assembly Service Commission (NASC).
They said all pending staff promotions and conversion letters should be released with arrears due fully paid, while the 2018 promotion eligibility list should be released and promotion exams conducted on or before December 31 this year.
In its reaction, the management through Sani-Omolori said the poor releases of the 2018 budget made it impossible for them to meet up with the payment of the agreed 28 percent increment.
He said it was unrealistic and not feasible to pay without funding from the federation account.
On the issue of promotion, he said out of the 589 letters he received from the commission for promotion, upgrading and conversion, a total of 562 were released to the beneficiaries between August 28 and November 27, while the remaining 27 had pending issues.
Senate Leader Ahmad Lawan (APC, Yobe), in a joint press conference with his House counterpart, Femi Gbajabiamila (APC, Lagos), said the National Assembly has resolved to implement the 28 per cent salary hike being demanded by protesting parliamentary workers.


NEW DELHI: A Delhi court on Saturday extended till February 6 the interim protection from arrest granted to Manoj Arora, a close aide of UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi's son-in-law Robert Vadra, in a money laundering case.
Rana said it remained to be seen if Arora would cooperate further.
In the last hearing, Arora had alleged before the court that the case was foisted on him by the NDA government out of "political vendetta".
However, the ED refuted the allegations, asking that "should no authority investigate any political bigwig because that will be called a political vendetta?"
The agency had told the court that it lodged the money laundering case against Arora after his role came up during the probe of another case by the Income Tax Department under the newly-enacted Black Money Act and tax law against absconding arms dealer Sanjay Bhandari.
"This gives credence to the fact that Bhandari was not the actual owner of the property but it was beneficially owned by Vadra who was incurring expenditure on the renovation of this property," the ED had told court.
Arora, an employee of Vadra's Skylight Hospitality LLP, was a key person in the case and he was aware of the latter's overseas undeclared assets and was instrumental in arranging funds, it had said.

Hello and welcome; this is the official equestrian division of Reptile Toons! In here, I will be posting pony related fan-projects and anouncements.
I wouldn't consider myself "insane" but I do like mlp, computer engineering, quantum physics, writing and art. So I try to do things which combine ALL those things. That's sane... right?
You've entered some sort of defined area in which one would be wise to exercise caution.
I love to be surprised by stories. Especially my own.
With enough momentum, pigs fly just fine.

TerpSys understands that for many of our customers, a web site is just one part of your technology ecosystem. It ties into single sign-on databases for authentication and data repositories for reporting. It provides personalized content delivery based on the type of user and their needs. Our deep integration skills will allow us to leverage your existing systems to create compelling user experiences.


I'm the founder and CEO of Homebuzz, which provides software-based property management services.
What challenge were you trying to address with Gecko Dynamics?
We engaged them to serve as our IT team.
Their services largely focus on web-user frontend experience and software improvements. They've worked on IVR [interactive voice response] systems using phone and text messaging. We employ the IVR system for security, authentication, and informational purposes.
We've also collaborated on UI development and design. Often, they'll design interfaces based on my sketches. They will then code the backend to make the site responsive on multiple devices.
We work with 3-4 people, which includes the project manager and 2 developers.
How did you come to work with Gecko Dynamics?
I found them through an online search. They were a good fit because the owner's ideas and creativity aligned with our challenges. We started by engaging with smaller projects and gradually giving the team larger assignments over time.
We've spent $750,000 - $1 million.
Our work started in 2010 and is ongoing.
To give an example, we're currently working on an after-hours calling service that our clients pay for per building. We're now able to increase items 25% for monthly recurring revenue because they keep adding service features that grow our revenue and marketability. For example, we may start with texting, then offer call tracking, and finally syndication. We're targeting our existing customer base while widening our reach through highly clickable features for property managers.
How did Gecko Dynamics perform from a project management standpoint?
We have several points of interaction on a weekly basis: Skype, JIRA, and phone calls. JIRA works well as a tool to log and troubleshoot customer issues. We integrated Zendesk with our JIRA account, but haven't added new technologies because they necessitate more training.
We collaborate very closely on technology and development issues. And yes over a 7-year period there were unexpected problems that we had to overcome, such as outages, design not being robust enough but our communication and feedback works well with the team to overcome these issues.
They get deeply embedded in an organization and create value. Their team is very intertwined with our company.
Due to our close partnership and growing operations, documentation isn't always processed perfectly. Project handoffs tend to be more informal but it's also a question of speed to market, so I can accept this.
Make the scope crisp and clean. The project also needs to be well-documented and UI designs require excellent mockups. Investment in making deliverables solid will make quotes and schedules more accurate.
The relationship they've built sets them apart.


Aucklanders will soon be paying more at the pump, with a regional fuel tax on the way.
Auckland Council and Mayor Phil Goff have long argued for a 10c/litre charge, but the previous National-led Government said it couldn't be done.
Phil Twyford, who'll be sworn in as Transport Minister on Thursday morning, told The AM Show not only can it be done, it'll be done sometime in the next four or five months.
"Auckland Council have said they want it. It's going to contribute about 10 percent of the $15 billion, 10-year programme we've committed to, to get Auckland moving again."
The council needs central Government to change the law in order implement a regional tax.
The money will be spent on rail to the airport and a new tram system from the CBD to west Auckland and Mr Goff's old electorate of Mt Roskill.
In August, Mr Goff said whether it was a regional fuel tax or the National Party's plan of congestion charging, Aucklanders would "have to pay" regardless.
"It might be a fuel tax, it might be... a congestion tax, but either way it's naive to think that we, as Aucklanders, won't have to make a contribution. We will."
NZME reports the planned route for the trams will be up Queen St and along Dominion Rd heading south, and along Great North Rd to Pt Chevalier, heading west.
Mr Twyford says the new Government will get started on the airport rail link immediately.
He's also keen on regular passenger rail between Auckland and Hamilton.
"We made a commitment during the campaign for regional rail in the golden triangle. It's crazy we're not opening up development opportunities in the Waikato and Bay of Plenty."
Mr Twyford says a plan for that should be underway in the next few weeks.
Auckland has battled worsening gridlock for years, with GPS company TomTom earlier this year saying the morning commute is was the third-worst in the world.
The recently opened Waterview Connection tunnel has eased it somewhat, with commuters reporting quicker travelling times from the south of the city into the CBD.


Hi everyone! I know that on my blog I've talked a little bit about essential oils and I know that they are very popular all over social media right now. People have been using essential oils as an all natural alternative to several conventional and toxic products we are used to using on a day to day basis. So today I wanted to write a blog post about what essential oils are and I wanted to share a few of the many essential oil uses and benefits! Let's get straight into it!
An essential oil is the oil that is extracted from a plant, the oil can be extracted several different ways some of which include steam distillation and cold pressing. Extracting oil from a plant gives all of the benefits of that plant at a very concentrated dosage, for example it takes 75 lemons to make one 15ml bottle of lemon essential oil ( Reference 1- see below). So all of the benefits normally associated with lemon (aka great for detox, helps with weight loss, and can improve mood) are also associated with lemon essential oil; making it easier to use and more effective than just using the plant itself. This is especially true for essential oils like lavender or eucalyptus, you can reap of the benefits from these plants just by using the essential oils (no need for a full grown garden here).
There is literally hundreds of uses for essential oils but today I am going to touch on the three main ways I use essential oils.
Diffusing Essential oils is probably the easiest way to use essential oils and one of the most effective. An essential oil diffuser is similar to a humidifier but it uses cold water and depending on the essential oils you put it your diffuser you can not only scent your home but also purify and deodorize the air. Some of my favorite essential oil blends to diffuse are lemon & lavender, orange & tea tree, and stress away & lavender. Diffusers are a great non toxic replacement for candles and air fresheners. I've link'd below a budget friendly diffuser and a diffuser that will go along great with any home decor you already have!
Fill a roll-on bottle almost completely full with the carrier oil of your choice and then add the appropriate drops of each oil for the following recipes.
For headaches relief: 10 drops peppermint, 10 drops lavender, and 5 drops frankincense shake together in the roller ball and apply a little bit directly your forehead when needed.
For allergy relief: 20 drops lemon, 20 drops lavender, 20 drops peppermint and 5 drops Copaiba shake together in the roll-on bottle and apply a little bit directly to your chest when needed.
For back pain relief: 10 drops peppermint, 10 drops panaway and 5 drops Copaiba shake together in the roll-on bottle and apply a little bit directly to your back when needed.

I have three essential oils that are my go to's and they are some great ones to get started with!
Now personally I recently switched over to using Young Living Essential Oils and have even recently become a distributor for them because I believe in their product that much! I love using Young Living Essential Oils because they are in control over the whole process from growing the plants and herbs themselves, creating the oils and even packaging. They are also known for having 3rd parties test their essential oils to prove their purity (meaning they are just the oil from the plant no additives or synthetics). But I encourage you to do your own research and pick the best essential oil company for you. Just make sure the essential oils that you are buying are 100% pure essential oils, you definitely don't want to be using something that claims to be an essential oil but is actually filled with chemicals.
If you're interested in starting your essential oil journey Young Living has a great essential oil starter kit that comes with a set of 10 great essential oils, a diffuser, samples and other resources. It's pretty cool too not only is this kit cheaper than buying all these essential oils individually but when you buy a startkit it's almost like you're buying a Sam's Club or Costco membership but for life! After the kit any oil you buy from them will be automatically 24% off retail price! Score!

Q: Ansible URI module not returning value I am not sure what I'm doing wrong here. This is the uri task i have:
  - name: Waiting for Entity Submission to complete
  uri:
   url: https://{{ endpoint_ip }}:9440/{{ endpoint_api_task }}/{{ intent_status.json.metadata.uuid }}
   url_username: "{{ endpoint_api_username }}"

   validate_certs: false
   force_basic_auth: true
   return_content: true
   follow_redirects: all
   method: 'GET'
  register: v3_progress
  debugger: always

I m not able to read the return value v3_progress
In debugger - I see below key error:
[PE] TASK: nat : Waiting for Entity Submission to complete (debug)> p task_vars['v3_progress']
***KeyError:KeyError('v3_progress',)

If I debug the task args - all arguments seem accurate enough and the task itself gets a 200:
E] TASK: nat : Waiting for Entity Submission to complete (debug)> p task.args

A: register variable will not be available in the debugger. The value for the register variable v3_progress gets populated only when the task returns and will be available for usage only in the subsequent tasks.
To view the result in the debugger, use p result._result.
You will be able to read the value in v3_progress in a subsequent task like,
- name: print uri result
  debug: msg="{{ v3_progress }}"

Labeling me aka "Not everyone..."
Someone once told me "Not everyone is as callous as you". This was a small guilt trip about how I had distanced myself from my mother.
For me it doesn't work to give me orders when I am having trouble speaking. I have some examples above but here is one basic one I left off the list. This is something which happened to me this week here in Bulgaria. I called someone but was unable to speak. It might have partly been the way she answered the phone. She said "Hello Steven" in a tone of voice that sounded disapproving. I don't know if I would have been able to speak if I had heard a different tone of voice when she answered. If I would have heard a soft, loving"hey" as if she was happy to hear from me, it might have opened the gates to my feelings. Or if she would have said "Are you okay?" as soon as she realized I was having trouble speaking. But anyhow this is what happened.
First she said "Talk to me."
Then she waited a few seconds.
Then she said "Ok...." But it wasn't an accepting ok. I could here the disapproving, impatient tone of voice again.
As soon as she said it I was afraid she was going to hang up on me.
Then just a few seconds later she said"If you don't want to, then call me when you want to talk. Bye." Then she hung up. I am guessing It wasn't even twenty or thirty seconds. It hurts now to realize how unimportant I seemed to be to her. And how easily she could hang up. When I was younger, I might have done the same thing. I might have felt self-righteous about it. I might not have felt guilty or any empathy for the person I had just abandoned when they needed me. I might never have called them to see how they were feeling. I might never have apologized. I might never have realized what I had just done.
And even as recently as about two years ago I remember a time when I walked away from someone. But then I realized what I was doing and I felt bad. I went back and said "I don't feel good about walking away."
I care about the person who hung up on me. I care about her so much it brings tears to my eyes to think of how uneducated she is in terms of emotions. And how misguided she is and what bad examples she has seen in her life. It hurts me to think that she doesn't want to learn from me anymore. As I write this I don't know what is going to happen between us. It hurts me to think about the possibility that I have lost her. And that she has lost me. Or that we have stopped caring about each other and are only protecting ourselves now from more pain. She told me she felt alone before she met me. I also felt alone before I met her. How sad it would be if we went back to feeling alone because of her lack of skills and my traumatic past.

Barty defeats Vondrousova to win French Open title
Ashleigh Barty prevailed 6-1, 6-3 in an hour and 10 minutes over the 19-year-old Russian in a one-sided match in the French Open women's singles final.

Ashleigh Barty during French Open. - AFP
Ashleigh Barty on Saturday hammered fellow first-time Grand Slam finalist Marketa Vondrousova in the 2019 French Open final to become the first Australian woman to win a Major women's singles title since the great Margaret Court at the US Open in 1973.
The 23-year-old Australian prevailed 6-1, 6-3 in an hour and 10 minutes over the 19-year-old Russian in a one-sided match. Barty won the first set in just 28 minutes, before Vondrousova showed some fight in the second.
Ashleigh Barty vs Marketa Vondrousova - As it happened
When the new rankings come out on Monday, Barty will jump from No. 8 in the world to No. 2, within striking range of No. 1 Naomi Osaka. Vondrousova, a left-hander in the mould of two-time Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova, is currently ranked 38th and will move up to 16.
The final on Saturday was in stark contrast to Barty's semifinal against another teenager, Amanda Anisimova. On Friday, the 17-year-old-American Anisimova rallied back from 0-5 to win the first set in a tiebreak before Barty won the next two with identical 6-3 scorelines.
Barty broke out as a doubles star in 2013, reaching three Grand Slam finals at age 16 and 17. But she took a sabbatical from tennis in 2015 in order to not burn out. The Australian returned to the courts after a season of playing cricket in Australia's Women's Big Bash League and the Women's National Cricket League. She won her first Grand Slam doubles title in her fifth final at the 2018 US Open, and then she reached her first Major quarterfinals in singles at the Australian Open earlier this year.
In her own semifinal, Vondrousova, the 2015 Australian Open and French Open junior doubles champion, showed pluck when she came down from 3-5 in each set with Joanna Konta serving to win it. The Russian prevailed 7-5, 7-6 (2).
The French Open women's singles title was up for grabs as all the Grand Slams have been in the last few years. The WTA tour saw five first-time winners in 2018-19, when eight different women won one Slam each.
Osaka broke the trend by following up her US Open title with the 2019 Australian Open, in the process becoming the first woman other than Serena Williams to win back-to-back Majors since Jennifer Capriati in 2001.
But Roland-Garros 2019 may have upped the ante. The semifinals featured three women who had never reached this stage of a Grand Slam before – Barty, Vondrousova and Anisimova – and one who had not won a match at the French Open in four previous attempts.
Reigning champion and former world No. 1 Simona Halep was beaten comprehensively by Anisimova in the quarters, while Osaka was beaten in the third round by Katerina Siniakova, the doubles world No. 1.

Q: Javascript array to string returning in a function I'm extremely new to coding (only my 2nd day with it) and I've been starting with JavaScript because a website I'm using is helping me and I have learning difficulties I won't go into here but I want to at least try to learn as much as I can :). However, I'm on a challenge on this website and I've been hitting a road block for the past few hours on something I'm sure is obvious but I'm at a frustrated point and hoping some of you kind folks can help. The website is using tests to see if the challenges are passed as per the brief.
I've been able to figure out that I need to use Array.join() on the array parts to satisfy the test individually but I'm blanking on how to do them all/call them as per the challenge instructions.
Challenge info :
Create String
The function createString takes an array of strings and should return a string consisting of all the strings in the array with a space in between each one. If the array is empty, it should return an empty string.
createString([]);
// should return ''
createString(['hello', 'world']);
// should return 'hello world'
createString(['my', 'name', 'is', 'frank']);
// should return 'my name is frank'

This is the starting code
function createString (array) {
  // code here
}

This is where I got to before my brain melted from frustration:
function createString (array) {
  let arr1 = [].join(' ');
  let arr2 = ['hello', 'world'].join(' ');
  let arr3 = ['my', 'name', 'is', 'frank'].join(' ');
  return array;
}

createString();

I fully intend to brush up more of the basics but seeing where I'm going wrong with this would help a lot. I think I have to call the function in a way that gives it the right part of the array ?
Please help

A: Few observations as per your current implementation :
function createString (array) {
  let arr1 = [].join(' ');
  let arr2 = ['hello', 'world'].join(' '); --> Using hard coded data. It should be dynamic as per the passed parameter.
  let arr3 = ['my', 'name', 'is', 'frank'].join(' ');
  return array; --> Returning the same parameter value without making any changes in it.
}

createString(); --> Calling a function without passing a parameter to it.

Here you go with the correct implementation :

function createString (arr) {
    return arr.join(' ');
}

const arr1Str = createString([]);
const arr2Str = createString(['hello', 'world']);
const arr3Str = createString(['my', 'name', 'is', 'frank']);

console.log(arr1Str);
console.log(arr2Str);
console.log(arr3Str);

This exhibition concentrates on the final phase of Monet's career, from 1913 to his death in 1926. Inspired by the diverse and changeable environment of his garden at Giverny, France, Monet made increasingly bold studies of natural phenomena that led him, in his late canvases, to cross a stylistic threshold into abstraction.
In the first exhibition at the Fine Arts Museums dedicated to the work of Paul Gauguin (1848–1903), an exceptional display of more than fifty Gauguin paintings, wood carvings, and ceramics from the renowned collections of the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek, Copenhagen, will be on view for the first time in San Francisco.
This exhibition explores the cultural and material exchanges between India and Europe through jewelry and precious objects ranging from the seventeenth century to the present. It features more than 150 pieces made in India or Europe associated with Mughal emperors, maharajas, and their courts.

This explores the eighteenth century across Europe through the eyes of one of its most colorful characters, Giacomo Casanova (1725–1798). Gathering together paintings, sculpture, works on paper, furnishings, porcelain, silver, and period costume, The Seduction of Europe will bring the visual wealth of Casanova's world to life. Assembled here is information about the exhibition that you can use to plan your students' experiences.

Ancient sculpture and architecture is revealed as intended – garishly colorful, richly ornamented, and full of life. Assembled here is information about the exhibition that you can use to plan your students' experiences.
Marking the centenary of Auguste Rodin's death in 1917 and that of Gustav Klimt in 1918, this exhibition examines the diverse connections between these artists and their impact upon the art world.

One of the earliest, largest, and most important cities in the ancient Americas, Teotihuacan is now the most visited archaeological site in Mexico. This exhibition features never-before-seen archaeological discoveries and explores how artifacts from the ancient city shape our understanding of Teotihuacan as an urban environment. The information assembled here will help you prepare for an impactful museum visit. Classroom encounters with these images and topics will ready your students to look closely and create dialogues in the galleries.
Degas, Impressionism, and the Paris Millinery Trade features approximately 40 Impressionist paintings and pastels as well as 40 examples of period hats.

This exhibition is the first major display in 20 years dedicated to Davis, a key figure in American modernism. Blurring distinctions between "high" and "low" art, between abstraction and figuration, and between text and imagery, these paintings reflect both the excitement and turbulence of the artist's times. The resources assembled here will provide you and your 4-5, 6-8, 9-12 grade students with activities that encourage close looking and tools for interpreting abstraction.

Q: Linux - Does it have an hta equivalent? Windows has hta files. They are a bit like html files. They include html5 and javascript but they launch as desktop applications which are fully-trusted. (They use a file called mshta.exe found in the IE installed components in order to run.)
The great thing is you can port many web pages to desktop applications with just a few extra lines of code.
Info can be found here:

Do the latest releases of Linux (and possibly apple mac desktops) have an equivalent of hta files?

A: If you are aiming to deliver HTML content you can take a much more flexible road: use a GUI framework with HTML capabilities like QT.
here there is a simple example about how to use webkit ( a rendering engine for the web ) to embed a fully working web browser in your GUI, and QT works under many desktop and mobile platforms.

A: You can try to use node webkit for this purpose.

What Akeredolu promise Ondo people on Workers' Day will shock you
Governor Oluwarotimi Odunayo Akeredolu of Ondo State
The Ondo State Governor, Mr. Rotimi Akeredolu, has vowed not to revive any dead industry in the state, rather, his administration would begin new industries.
Specifically, he said a new glass industry will be established in the state to replace the dead Oluwa Glass Industry.
Akeredolu stated this while addressing the workers in the state during the celebration of 2017 May Day in Akure, the state capital on Monday.
He stated that the equipments at the Oluwa Glass were obsolete but the new glass industry to be established would make use of modern equipment and would be able to employ about 10,000 people.
He said, "We want to begin reforestation in the state and another glass industry would be established that will employ not less than 10,000 people.
"There is a dire need for us all, particularly workers in this state, to start thinking out of the box on how to diversify our economy from the oil dependence into agriculture, entrepreneurship and industrialisation in order to boost our Internally Generated Revenue."
While assuring the workers of regular salaries, the governor said he would not fight the workers in the state and workers too should be diligent at work.
In his speech, the state chairman of the Trade Union Congress, Mr. Soladoye Ekundayo urged the governor to find solution to the crisis rocking the Ondo State House of Assembly to enable the Assembly pass the 2017 budget.
He noted that the crisis was affecting the passage of the budget.
He also charged the state government to embark on aggressive IGR drive.
"In doing this, we are not saying the people should be over-taxed but the government should look inward and expand its revenue base." Ekundayo charged.

Zion Ponderosa Ranch Resort Area Attractions | Zion Ponderosa
Zion Ponderosa Area Attractions
If you're staying at Zion Ponderosa, it's a great opportunity to visit Zion National Park plus many other southern Utah area attractions. Zion Ponderosa Ranch Resort is located in the midst of the highest concentration of scenic wonders in the U.S. and strategically positioned to make it easy for our guests to visit area attractions such as two of Utah's five national parks and a variety of natural and historical landmarks. Unpack once, and stay for a while!
The east entrance to Utah's oldest and most popular national park is just minutes from Zion Ponderosa. Carved by water and time, Zion National Park features canyons, cliffs, world-class hiking and rock climbing, and the world-famous slot canyon known as The Narrows.
Located just a 75-minute drive from Zion Ponderosa, Bryce Canyon National Park is one of the great scenic wonders of the world. Carved along the eastern edge of Paunsaugunt plateau, Bryce Canyon's mystical red rock hoodoos are carved by wind and water to create a sight like no other.
The crown of the Grand Staircase, Cedar Breaks is another natural amphitheater filled with colorful formations and cliffs. Located north of Zion Ponderosa, area attractions include: high alpine Navajo Lake, Duck Creek Village, Scenic Byqay 143, Cascade Falls, Panguitch Lake, and historical Panguitch town.
Grafton Ghost Town
In the early 1860's Mormon settlers established themselves along the banks of the Virgin River, but floods and trouble with local Native American tribes soon led to the town's demise. By 1890, just four families remained, and Grafton was completely abandoned by 1921. Visitors will see the old graveyard markers, an old schoolhouse, and a few other preserved buildings.
Known as Little Hollywood, over 100 movies were filmed around Grafton Ghost Town in the 1940s and '50s. Look for familiar landscape next time you watch Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid! Frontier Movie Town and Denny's Wigwam showcase fun Western movie memorabilia. Kanab is located just 35 miles from Zion Ponderosa and is a fun half-day trip or stop on the way to your next destination.
Little Hollywood Photo by Kane County Office of Tourism
Seated more than 8,000 feet above sea level, the North Rim of the Grand Canyon offers the spectacular scenic views you'd expect with fewer tourists. It's the perfect way to experience the Grand Canyon in summer. The North Rim is just a two-hour drive from Zion Ponderosa, and is generally open from May 15 to October 15, depending on weather conditions.
The Grand Staircase
The Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument encompasses nearly two million acres of rugged landscape with great hiking and incredible scenery. The Grand Staircase boundary begins about 30 minutes from Zion Ponderosa. Highlights within reasonable driving distance of Zion Ponderosa include Johnson Canyon, Kodachrome Basin State Park and Grosvenor Arch. Check weather conditions before venturing into Grand Staircase territory, and be sure to bring a detailed map, sunscreen, and plenty water.
Stretching across the Utah-Colorado border, Lake Powell is a blue jewel in the high desert with over 2,000 miles of coast. The massive man-made lake was created in the 1960's when a dam was placed on the Colorado River in a narrow canyon. Today, the lake is a mecca for water sports, boating, and swimming. Wahweap Marina on the Utah side of Lake Powell is 105 miles from Zion Ponderosa, for an exceptional day trip.
Southern Utah is home to so much captivating scenery, you'll be amazed. Make Zion Ponderosa your base camp to experience the majesty of southern Utah.

Q: Strange errors on Windows with Asio I have a cross-platform project that uses the boostless version of Asio. On OSX I use autotools to build the library then include it on my project:
exec_program(COMMAND "./autogen.sh" WORKING_DIRECTORY ${asio_SOURCE_DIR}/asio)
exec_program(COMMAND "./configure --without-boost" WORKING_DIRECTORY ${asio_SOURCE_DIR}/asio)

I could not find instructions for Windows and upon running CMake notices that Asio would generate a Visual Studio file so I fenced the instructions above on to be run on Unix platforms only.
But now I'm getting strange errors on Windows:
asio\include\generic\basic_endpoint.hpp(71): error c2039: 'protocol' is not a member of 'std::basic_string<chr, std::char_traits<<char>, std::allocation<char>>'

I also had an instance of asio::local::stream_protocol::endpoint that I had to change to asio::generic::stream_protocol::endpoint.
All of this code compiled and ran perfectly well on OSX.
Any idea what's going on?

A: Right, this was a dumb one. I'm compiling on Windows where Unix sockets don't exist.
Ah-to-the-duh.

BANGSAMORO BASIC LAW DRAFT PDF
17.01.2019 17.12.2020 admin Relationship
The Moros, faced with land grabbing of their ancestral lands, have been fighting for what their say is rightfully theirs. Past administrations tried to attain peace in the south through negotiations, but none have succeeded. October After issuing a temporary restraining order on the signing of the MOA-AD, the Supreme Court declared the agreement unconstitutional and illegal. The two panels signed annexes on transitional arrangements, wealth, power-sharing, and water territories. The House of Representatives created a "supercommittee" to tackle the bill, while the Senate conducted its first briefing on the proposal. The BBL provided a basic structure of government focusing on the rights of the Bangsamoro people, described as "natives or original inhabitants of Mindanao and the Sulu archipelago and its adjacent islands including Palawan.

He added that there is no denying that Misuari has a big influence on the Moro people and on the peace process. The local chief executive, however, said that the victims in the Zamboanga Siege must be accorded the justice they deserve. Some said Misuari is not fit for the job based on his participation in the siege. Duterte explained that his appointment of Nur Misuari will facilitate the speedy implementation of peace agreements between the government and the Moro fronts and eventually obtain the support from Islamic countries given that most of the leaders of the OIC are friends with Misuari.
Misuari is expected to attend the annual meeting of the parliamentary union of the OIC-member states happening in Burkina Faso in Western Africa from January 21 to 23, That is why the senator believes that it is high time for the country to have a designated survivor, and filed his version of the Designated Survivor Bill.
A designated survivor is chosen and will be tasked to be the leader of the country when government officials included in the line of succession are incapacitated or have died at the same time. An official who will be chosen to be the designated survivor will be brought to a safe house whenever the President holds a state of the nation address.

She stressed the need for a designated survivor, saying it will prevent the country from going into chaos in case the leaders perish.

In , the Sultanate of Sulu was founded, and not long after that, the sultanates of Maguindanao and Buayan were also established. At the time when most of the Philippines was under Spanish rule , these sultanates maintained their independence and regularly challenged Spanish domination of the Philippines by conducting raids on Spanish coastal towns in the north and repulsing repeated Spanish incursions in their territory. It was not until the last quarter of the 19th century that the Sultanate of Sulu formally recognized Spanish suzerainty , but these areas remained loosely controlled by the Spanish as their sovereignty was limited to military stations and garrisons and pockets of civilian settlements in Zamboanga and Cotabato , [12] until they had to abandon the region as a consequence of their defeat in the Spanish—American War.

As It Happens5:43Kansas Free Library
They were looking for a fun way to share his love of reading, not to break the law. Back in May, nine-year-old Spencer Collins and his family built a Little Free Library on their front lawn in Leawood, Kansas. The small box of books was open to all to borrow -- with no late fees -- and operated on the "take a book, return a book" principle. Unfortunately, the city dubbed it an "illegal detached structure" and demanded it be taken down.
"He doesn't quite understand why it's illegal. It just doesn't make sense to him." Brian Collins, Spencer's father, tells Carol. "He wants to talk to city council himself... he's gonna tell them that the law needs to change because reading is a good thing."
The Collins family's Little Free Library is now housed in the garage, but when it was on the front lawn, it was a popular neighbourhood attraction, with dozens of borrowers and book donations.

"[Spencer] would run out every day and check it to see what was gone. He'd get all excited if someone picked up a book or dropped off a book," Mr. Collins tells Carol.
"Little free libraries do nothing but enhance community and literacy and if we don't encourage those two things, it really is a black mark against the city of Leawood."
UPDATE: At a meeting on Monday, July 7th, the Leawood City Council approved a temporary moratorium that exempts Little Free Libraries from a city ordinance that prohibits structures in front yards. And by Tuesday morning, the Collins family had happily returned their library to their front lawn.

Dolní Cetno je malá vesnice, část obce Niměřice v okrese Mladá Boleslav. Nachází se asi 1,5 kilometru severně od Niměřic. Vesnicí protéká Strenický potok a vede jí silnice II/272. Dolní Cetno leží v katastrálním území Niměřice o výměře 4,25 km².

Historie
První písemná zmínka o vesnici pochází z roku 1348.

Pamětihodnosti
Na severovýchodním okraji obce se u silnice na Katusice nachází židovský hřbitov, v centru pak bývalá synagoga z let 1872–1873. Židé se v Dolním Cetně usazovali od konce 18. století a v okolí byli zváni "pocetňáci". Z jejich komunity pocházel mimo jiné David Langer, dědeček plzeňské školačky Věry Kohnové, která se před deportací do koncentračního tábora Terezín psala deníček.

Bird's Power Display Nets Fall Stars MVP
Jed Weisberger
Yankees first base prospect Greg Bird was not on the original roster for the Arizona Fall League Fall Stars Game.
Yet, he not only was in the game, but carried off MVP honors after blasting a home run that observers noted was the longest ever hit in the contest, helping the East Division to a 6-2 win Saturday evening.
Bird finished the night 1-for-4 with a walk. He has a shot at an AFL Triple Crown as he's hitting .342 with a league-leading six homers and 19 RBIs for the Scottsdale Scorpions.
Likely set to start to 2015 at Double-A Trenton with fellow slugging prospect outfielder Aaron Judge, Bird has a simple goal for every game.
"I just want to play better today than I did yesterday," he said. "Every chance I have to improve I go after. I have a lot of fun playing this game."
He displays an advanced approach at the plate, and his power, after missing the early part of the 2014 season with a back injury, is developing. The at-bats in the AFL are needed to make up for the early time he missed in 2014
"The more at-bats I can get in Arizona, the better," Bird said.
With Mark Teixeira's contract expiring in 2016, it would not surprise if Bird starts 2016 with the Yankees and eventually succeeds him at first base.
"That's the goal," said Bird. "I hope I can achieve it.
With his solid defense at the position, that is indeed a possibility.

The David Lynch MasterClass Provides Unique Insight Into the Enigmatic Filmmaker
Posted on Tuesday, May 7th, 2019 by Chris Evangelista
The online education platform MasterClass has been giving subscribers a chance to learn from filmmakers, writers, cooks, and other creatives since 2014. Martin Scorsese, Spike Lee, Werner Herzog and more have all sat down to offer up their sage advice. This year, MasterClass scored an unlikely teacher: David Lynch, the unparalleled filmmaker responsible for Twin Peaks, Mulholland Drive and more.
Lynch is an enigma – it's hard to imagine him willingly imparting the secrets of his work, even for a paying audience. And yet, the David Lynch MasterClass offers access to the filmmaker. For 13 lessons – some about three minutes, others about 25 – Lynch is front and center, regaling the audience with his folksy wisdom. Will you learn how to make movies like David Lynch? No. But you will learn how David Lynch makes movies.
You've likely heard of MasterClass, probably via ads on social media. The platform allows subscribers to take online classes from famous people from all walks of life. Is it on the level? That depends. If you're hoping for some sort of college-level coursework here, you're going to be disappointed. But if you'd like to listen to some of your favorite creatives spill some of their secrets, MasterClass is a must-see. You can either subscribe to individual classes, or get a site-wide All-Access Pass* (I recommend this – it's worth the extra money to have access to multiple classes at once).
As a huge fan of Martin Scorsese, it was impossible for me to resist his MasterClass from last year. Scorsese is a walking font of cinematic information – he loves to talk, especially about cinema. So it makes perfect sense that he would have his own online course. But David Lynch, one of MasterClass's newest instructors, is a whole other ball of wax.
Lynch is notoriously stand-offish when it comes to meaning. "As soon as you put things in words, no one ever sees the film the same way," he said once.
Some other previous Lynchisms about keeping things as vague and mysterious as possible:
"It makes me uncomfortable to talk about meanings and things. It's better not to know so much about what things mean. Because the meaning, it's a very personal thing, and the meaning for me is different than the meaning for somebody else."
"I don't think that people accept the fact that life doesn't make sense. I think it makes people terribly uncomfortable. It seems like religion and myth were invented against that, trying to make sense out of it."
"Being in darkness and confusion is interesting to me."
Just what, if anything, does the man who subscribe to this sort of philosophy have to say to us? It turns out the answer is a lot – although it might not be what you're expecting.
The production here goes to great lengths to recreate some of Lynch's trademarks – weird light leaks; haunting, droning sound effects; the scribbly, almost childish way he sometimes writes words. And Lynch himself is in top form, to the point where it almost feels like he's playing a part: sipping coffee, dressed in a black suit, his silvery hair perfectly styled, an American Spirit cigarette constantly smoldering between his fingers. It would almost border on parody, were it not for the fact that Lynch is so earnest in the way he addresses us. He's warm, funny, and inviting. It's altogether pleasant to spend time with this man. You almost forget he's responsible for some of the most dark and disturbing movies you'll ever see.
But what can he teach us? If you watch all 13 of Lynch's lessons, will you be a better filmmaker? I really don't know. I'm going to go out on a limb and say…probably not. Because David Lynch isn't teaching you how to make films. He's teaching you how he makes films. As a result, this is a wonderful insight into Lynch's creative process, although even he himself seems to have trouble articulating some of his own approach sometimes.
Through it all, though, you get the sense of someone who genuinely loves what he does. And someone who loves the creative process. "In cinema, there's many filmmakers that make films primarily to make money, and it's called entertainment," he tells us. "I love money like everybody else, but probably I'd do the things that I like to do for free."
That's not to say Lynch doesn't offer some advice to burgeoning creatives. "The most valuable thing I can impart to new filmmakers is find your own voice, be true to that voice, never give up final cut and total creative freedom," he says at one point. "Never take a bad idea, but never turn down a bad idea."
Writing those ideas is key: "Super important to write down your ideas so you don't forget them. I think I've forgotten three incredible ideas in my life – so, write down your ideas."
And where do these ideas come from? In Lynch's view, they're out there, floating through the air like atoms, or germs. You just need to catch them. "The chef doesn't make the fish…the chef just cooks the fish…just like a person with ideas," he says at one point, struggling to find the words. "The person doesn't create the idea."
That's all well and good. But does Lynch even attempt to tell his class how to make movies? He does! In his dry, endlessly charming manner, the Lost Highway filmmaker offers quaint statements on filmmaking that makes the practice sound almost comically easy. "If you want to make a feature length film, all you need to do is get 70 scenes, and you write these 70 scenes on 3×5 cards, and when you have 70 of them, you've got a feature film," he bluntly says. His own writing process, at least when it came to writing the new Twin Peaks, involved sitting outside in a lawn chair late at night, smoking cigarettes, drinking wine, and scribbling on a yellow legal pad.
As for the nitty gritty – the technical elements, Lynch says you should have some technical knowledge, but also to learn by doing. But the most important bit of advice the filmmaker offers is to learn film history – by watching other films. There are several moments during the course of the class where a projector will roll, and Lynch will watch a clip from a movie, and then talk about the clip in question. Sometimes they're clips from his own films. But there are also moments from other people's movies as well.
One of the most remarkable examples of this involves Lynch watching the final scene of It's a Wonderful Life, where Jimmy Stewart – having gone through his long, strange trip through a world where he was never born – comes home, elated to see his wife and kids again. As Lynch watches this unfold, a cigarette in hand, he begins to tear up, and by the time the clip has ended, he's full on weeping. "It doesn't get any better than that," he says, choked up. It's so nakedly sincere and open that it's flooring to witness.
The Eraserhead auteur provides some trivia for his own career. He talks of the actors he frequently works with – Laura Dern, in Lynch's estimation, "understands the human condition" and is "pretty much 100% fearless." He also touches on the use of violence in his work, and how sometimes the violence can tip over into comical absurdity: "When someone is so driven into the stratosphere, there's some chance for humor there."
Lynch may dabble in violent work, but he loves to keep his sets lighthearted. "People who run a set on fear, or a business on fear, are really stupid," he says, adding that he prefers his sets to be like a family gathering at Thanksgiving.
All of this is wonderful insight into Lynch's often impenetrable mindset. And really, that's what the David Lynch MasterClass does best. By taking the class, you'll come closer to Lynch than ever before. If you happen to go off and make a good movie as a result, it'll probably be incidental. This isn't a lesson in filmmaking. It's a lesson in Lynch. And I'm not complaining.
*Students can enroll in the class with unlimited access for a one-time purchase of $90, or subscribe for unlimited access to this class and all new and existing classes through the All-Access Pass for $180 per year.
