What do the Blackberry, snow blowers, Trivial Pursuit, pet insurance, insulin, instant replay, online auctions and five-pin bowling all have in common? They are all examples of Canadians taking advantage of entrepreneurial opportunities with innovation.
As the management scholar Peter Drucker said, "Innovation is the specific instrument of entrepreneurship. It is the act that endows resources with a new capacity to create wealth." Or in other words, the essence of entrepreneurship is the act of creating something new – innovating.
As we know, entrepreneurial activity is not just good for entrepreneurs themselves – it benefits all Canadians. It is a powerful force that not only drives innovation, but productivity, job creation and economic growth. And as a result, countries with a high level of entrepreneurial activity tend to be better off economically.
So what does the Canadian entrepreneurial landscape look like today?
To begin with, one in 15 working Canadians owns an incorporated business. That is twice as many as in the United States.
Over one third of Canadian small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are owned entirely by women and that increases to 47% when partial ownership is included.
In Canada, when a woman decides to start a business, she tends to stay in business longer – survival rates are higher.
The proportion of women-owned businesses that plan to expand their business is generally higher than men.
Approximately 51% of Aboriginal-owned SMEs belong partly or wholly to women.
Among established businesses, the percentage of female entrepreneurs rose from 27% in the early '90s to 33% in 2012.
In terms of employee growth rates, majority female-owned firms with growth intentions are significantly more active in hiring new employees than majority male-owned firms.
Majority women-owned SMEs represent over $117 billion per annum of economic activity in Canada.
Canadian SME owners are becoming older and need to start planning for succession. We will soon see an increased number of transfers of businesses to next-generation family members, existing management or to outside buyers.
There has been an increase in the age and the experience of Canadian SME owners, which is reflective of the aging Canadian population as a whole. While succession planning is an issue for many business owners, studies and our experience indicate that the majority do not have a plan in place. Only 10 percent of SME owners have a formal, written succession plan; 38 percent have an informal, unwritten plan and the remaining 52 percent do not have any succession plan at all.
Canadian SME owners have become more diverse, reflecting the greater diversity in the Canadian population. Aboriginal persons, people from visible minorities and recent immigrants have become the majority owners of a larger proportion (17%) of Canadian SMEs and this trend is also reflected in the increase in the percentage of business owners whose first language is not English or French (15%).
Most SME owners started their business from scratch. Three-quarters of Canadian SME owners started their own business, rather than acquiring it from a family member or from someone outside their family. However, having parents who are self-employed can help provide the financial capital to start a business and a family with an entrepreneurial background also helps provide the business skills that are applicable across any industry.
Pool of entrepreneurial ventures. The birth rate of new firms with paid employees is higher than the death rate, which means that the pool of businesses with entrepreneurial potential is being replenished regularly.
Sustainability of entrepreneurial ventures. New firms in Canada have high survival rates at both the one-year and the five-year point. This implies that the businesses created by Canadians have desirable characteristics that enable them to attain and maintain a competitive advantage in their markets. What characteristics help businesses in Canada to survive the early years? Market orientation, innovativeness, productivity, operational capability and advantageous cost structures.
High-growth rates for manufacturers. The growth rates achieved by Canadian manufacturers rank among the best. These indicators of growth suggest that Canadian manufacturers are developing innovative products, processes and/or markets.
Growth of service firms. Canada generates a lower proportion of high-growth businesses in the service sectors than do most comparable countries.
Exporting. The percentage of exports accounted for by Canadian SMEs is lower than most European nations and the U.S. Given the small Canadian domestic market size and the general increasing globalization of business, this should be a priority.

Cybersecurity learning
Cybersecurity will become an integral part of computing science education in the UK thanks to a coordinated approach from the BCS, the Council for Professors and Heads of Computing, (ISC)2 and the Office of Cyber Security and Information Assurance in the Cabinet Office.
The need to develop protection skills against cyber threats
It is recognised that there is a lack of cybersecurity skills in computing science degrees, yet cybersecurity must be addressed in the design, development and operation of any IT system.
This need is acknowledged by objective 4 of the UK's Cyber Security Strategy set out in 2011: 'to have the cross-cutting knowledge, skills and capability (needed to) underpin all our cybersecurity objectives'.
Fulfilling objective 4 addresses a severe skills shortage by widening the opportunity of a cybersecurity career to more people and ensuring that everyone involved in creating the digital economy - especially the technology underpinning it - understand the threats, vulnerabilities and mitigations that need to be managed.
Embedding cybersecurity skills into our computing science degrees presents a real opportunity to ensure that the UK leads the world in this key area. According to a recent CloudPassage report, just one of the 36 top ranked US college and university computing science programmes require students to take cybersecurity classes and three of the top ten do not even offer classes on cybersecurity.
A recent SANS survey found that heads of computer science departments were typically disdainful of the need to ensure that students are aware of cybersecurity issues, saying employers should do that kind of 'training'.
Mary Davison, Oracle's CSO, found that universities were generally unresponsive to requests that students studying programming learned how to secure their code. Matthew Hancock, Minister for the Cabinet Office said, 'The UK has a world-class cybersecurity sector, but we can only continue in this vein if we have the highly skilled workforce we need to thrive.'
News coverage has the potential to embarrass the IT and academic professions, as many of the stories highlight errors in design, development and management of IT that have led to vulnerabilities that can be exploited. It's worth remembering that many of the exploits were well known, with well-known mitigation.
This could be considered as a professional failing, as we are not adhering to a core principle of the BCS code of conduct to ensure that the public is protected when we take actions and make decisions in designing, deploying and managing systems.
Universities in the UK are graduating students on courses with a significant amount of ethical hacking, generating many graduates who are able to target and abuse systems, yet many computing science graduates do not understand how and why cybersecurity and resilience are just as, if not more, important.
The Council of Professors and Heads of Computing (CPHC) and (ISC)2 suggest that exposure to more cyber and information security concepts at the undergraduate level could help stem the flow of vulnerabilities we see in IT. However, it must be recognised that to have any profound impact the effort must be collaborative between industry, professional bodies and academia.
Big tent approach
In 2013, an initiative was set up by (ISC)2, CPHC and the Cabinet Office to examine embedding cybersecurity into undergraduate degrees. Three workshops in 2013 and 2014 defined the principles of cybersecurity education and developed a framework for embedding these principles in UK computing science curricula. Attendees included industry, professional bodies, UK government departments and more than 30 universities that offer undergraduate computing science degrees from the newest post-92 universities to the Russell Group.
Significantly, BCS agreed to adopt the outputs into their accreditation criteria during the workshops, the first time that cybersecurity has been explicitly referenced within accreditation criteria for computing and IT-related degrees.
Bill Mitchell, Director of Education at BCS, explained the reason for their involvement: 'As an Institute we are already heavily involved in tackling the skills gap in this field; from developing the profession through to ensuring that standards are met. This latest initiative means that all computing-related degrees accredited by BCS will now include information security learning elements.'
The final workshop resulted in the production of reference guidelines ('Cybersecurity Principles and Learning Outcomes') that established a baseline of common knowledge, example learning outcome domains for cybersecurity within the computing science courses and guidance on embedding the concepts. This ground-breaking effort means that, for the first time, UK universities will benefit from specific guidance for embedding and enhancing relevant cybersecurity principles, concepts and learning outcomes within their undergraduate curricula.
'This marks a significant shift in the teaching of security in higher education; cybersecurity is now recognised as integral to every relevant computing discipline from computer game development to network engineering,' said Carsten Maple, Professor of Cyber Systems Engineering at Warwick University and Vice Chair of the Council of Professors and Heads of Computing.
Cybersecurity in computing science guidelines
The reference guidelines detail five essential areas of cybersecurity:
Information and risk: models including confidentiality, integrity and availability; concepts such as probability, consequence, harm, risk identification, assessment and mitigation; and the relationship between information and system risk.
Threats and attacks: threats, how they materialise, typical attacks and how those attacks exploit vulnerabilities.
Cybersecurity architecture and operations: physical and process controls that can be implemented across an organisation to reduce information and systems risk, identify and mitigate vulnerability, and ensure organisational compliance.
Secure systems and products: the concepts of design, defensive programming and testing and their application to build robust, resilient systems that are fit-for-purpose.
Cybersecurity management: understanding the personal, organisational and legal/regulatory context in which information systems could be used, the risks of such use and the constraints (such as time, finance and people) that may affect how cybersecurity is implemented.
By implementing the guidelines, over 20,000 computer science graduates a year across 100 UK universities will be taught these five areas, significantly enhancing the UK's capacity for filling the aforementioned skills shortage.
Adrian Davis, Managing Director of (ISC)2 EMEA explains that 'including cybersecurity in undergraduate education positions the UK as a world leader, provides a significant number of cyber-competent, well-educated people entering the jobs market generally, and highlights cybersecurity career opportunities.'
Taking it to the masses
After the guidelines were published, a workshop roadshow was hosted by the Universities of Edinburgh Napier, Portsmouth, Lancaster, Hertfordshire, Cardiff, Royal Holloway, Newcastle and Warwick. These workshops, which presented the guidelines and the reasons for embedding cybersecurity in the curriculum of computing science degrees, had 102 attendees from the academic computing science community representing 60 UK universities.
The impact on accreditation and associated processes was considered and case studies from the Universities of Sunderland and Portsmouth, highlighting two different approaches to implementing the guidelines, were presented.
'The discussions were positive and constructive, providing an excellent forum to consider the opportunities and challenges, while identifying a range of good practices to inform next steps,' said Alastair Irons, Professor of Computer Science, University of Sunderland and Chair of the BCS Accreditation Committee.
'Cybersecurity is now a key component of the BCS accreditation criteria, reflecting the importance placed on cybersecurity and the expectation that all computing graduates should have knowledge and skills in cybersecurity as they move towards chartered status.'
A majority of representatives at the workshop roadshow were supporters of the need to embed cybersecurity in the curriculum.
The next step is to widen and deepen support for this embedding process, by creating a community to share best practice, overcome implementation barriers and provide materials and guidance for those who need it, such as a resource library that is full of example pedagogic interventions that can be adapted for different scenarios within each institution.
'There are many universities that are producing innovative examples that engage students and demonstrate the need for cybersecurity. I am excited by what could be achieved when this community is enabled to share and develop ideas,' said Dr. Nick Savage, Head of the School of Computing at the University of Portsmouth.
Cybersecurity is not the preserve of IT: it affects us all. Our next objective is to explore the integration of cybersecurity into the teaching offered by business and management schools. Working with these schools and using the approach outlined here, we could create a second corpus of cyber-competent, well-educated people entering the workforce who understand cybersecurity and its effects on organisations.
Cabinet Office cybersecurity strategy

Mark Mikhail: The unsung hero of the Paralympic games
As the dust settles and we look back on an incredible Olympics followed by an even more successful Paralympics it is impossible to not be filled with admiration. We in the UK have shown that with investment, time, and masses of effort comes ascendancy and victory. 147 medals won at the 2016 Paralympic Games, 64 of which were gold. This is more than 30% more golds than the USA, a country with five times the population of the UK.
The athletes deserve the most credit. They have toiled for their entire lives to have the opportunity to compete at an elite level, often without any sponsorship, and certainly without the guarantee of Olympic success. National Lottery funding has undoubtedly played a part in the rise of Sport England, and the British Paralympic Association relies on this as well as private and corporate charitable donations and partnerships, all of whom should be credited.
With every medal won, and every athlete competing there are, of course, hoards of support staff that are fundamental to the medal haul. These include, among others, coaches, physiotherapists, sports medics, analysts, nutritionists, friends and family. There is another very important and often forgotten reason why the UK's Paralympic athletes seem to be more likely, per capita, than any other country to get into a position where they can train and compete at the top.
The unsung hero of the Paralympics is the NHS. The NHS is a uniquely powerful engine for social justice. Tens of our "superhumans" will have had years of rehabilitation from a multi-disciplinary team, many starting from infancy. This has allowed them to harness all of their power and ability. Credit must go to the physiotherapists, occupational therapists, dietitians, speech and language therapists, doctors, nurses, healthcare assistants, and the never ending list of NHS staff that have the honour to be able to offer a free-at-the-point-of-care holistic service.
Anyone who has worked with disability, for example in rehabilitation medicine, will know of the trials and tribulations and the emotional attachment that inherently comes with this vocation. Healthcare must remain free to protect our poorest and most vulnerable.
Four in ten children with disabilities are living in poverty. A disabled child is much more likely to be from a less privileged background with this fact being reflected globally. It is estimated to cost three times as much to raise a child with disabilities than one without. Seventeen per cent of people with disabilities (of working age) are in work in the US, compared with 50% in the UK.
Of course this number can be improved, but it once again must be due, at least in part, to the national ability to access healthcare. When the National Health Service Act was created in 1946 before rollout in 1948 it was stated that the NHS "would relieve your money worries in times of illness." We have a duty to nurture and protect one of the world's greatest institutions and an object of national pride that should be lauded along with our Olympians and Paralympians.

How Foghat Hit the Big Time With 'Fool for the City'
Jeff Giles Published: September 15, 2015
The members of Foghat were clearly born to boogie. Unfortunately, for the first few years of their existence, they seemed destined to do so for a cult-sized audience.
Things started picking up for the group with its third album, 1974's Energized, but with a catch: While audiences in their native U.K. remained somewhat indifferent to Foghat, American record buyers cottoned to the brand's band of slide-assisted electric blues rock more quickly, meaning many more miles traveled for the hard-touring lineup.
"The last gig we did in England was over two years ago," bassist Tony Stevens pointed out in a 1974 interview. "It's just not worth it, going up and down the country working your bollocks off. Unless you're the front page of Melody Maker, you can only make enough money to pay your scotch bills, because there are only the very big concerts and the small clubs that hold under a thousand people. When we're in England we stay at home and take it easy, although we'd love to play there."
The group's grueling tour itinerary contributed to Stevens' departure the following year, leaving drummer Roger Earl, singer "Lonesome" Dave Peverett and guitarist Rod Price to quickly fill in the gap by enlisting Nick Jameson, who'd produced their most recent album, 1974's Rock and Roll Outlaws. As Earl later recalled, Jameson would exert an immediate impact — including urging him to pose for the photo that would later become the cover for their next album, Fool for the City.
Released in September 1975, Fool continued the growing tradition of tongue-in-cheek Foghat album titles and/or covers with a shot of Earl seated next to a manhole, into which he's dropped a fishing line. It was the perfect distillation of the gritty, good-humored groove the group had settled into, and like a number of the record's key ingredients, it probably wouldn't have happened without Foghat's newest member.
"It was a Sunday morning and I hadn't slept. Back in the '70s, we didn't sleep that much," explained Earl in a 2014 interview with the Aquarian. "It was Nick Jameson's idea. He had just joined us playing bass. He'd been our longtime producer before that. It was his idea since I have this penchant for fishing."
Listen to Foghat's 'Slow Ride'
That spur-of-the-moment joke, Earl added, could have backfired in a big way. "Anyway, we lift up the manhole cover and I'm sitting on a box. Almost immediately a couple of New York's finest come by in their patrol car. They're looking at us and they wind the window down. We're like, 'Oh shit.' They yell out, 'Hey! You got a fishing license?' and then start laughing. So they come over and say, 'What the fuck are you doing?' They took some pictures with them handcuffing me. I love New York's finest."
Jameson contributed much more than the idea for the Fool for the City album cover. As Earl told Vintage Rock, the record's biggest hit and the band's signature number, "Slow Ride," came out of Foghat's first jam session with their new bassist.
"The first song to come out of there was 'Slow Ride.' We were just jamming," he recalled. "Nick had a cassette player and he would record whatever we played there. As I recall it, the whole song was written — the middle part and the bass part and the ending were all Nick's ideas. Basically, Nick wrote the song, but we just jammed on it, and Nick cut the stuff up so it made sense as far as the song goes. And then Dave said, 'I've got some words.'"
Looking back, Earl noted that while "Slow Ride" ended up resonating on a larger level than many Foghat tracks, it was really cut from pretty much the same cloth as the rest of the band's catalog — right down to its blues roots.
"A lot of Foghat songs came about with just us sitting around jamming and recording it, and we would take parts we liked and glue them together," he said. "A song would be formed. Actually, a song like 'Slow Ride' is a John Lee Hooker riff, just played in a 4/4, as opposed to a shuffle. Thank you, John Lee. There'd be no boogie without John Lee Hooker."
Listen to Foghat's 'Fool for the City'
Having already managed to tap into Hooker's blues from half a world away, Foghat remained far from their hero's Mississippi homeland when it came time to record Fool for the City. With Earl and Jameson living in upstate New York, they opted to stay fairly local, renting out Suntreader Studios in nearby Sharon, Vt. — a small town whose bucolic vibe added to the album in some very different, and decidedly unplanned, ways.
"About halfway through it the power went out," laughed Earl. "We only had half a song. We came back to it a week or month later or something and had to pick it up where we were. So we're listening to it, trying to get the drum sounds similar, doing the last three minutes of the song. That happened a few times: The power would go out – somebody would hit a [power] pole. We were out in the middle of nowhere – it was like a small mountain or a large hill, but it was in the middle of nowhere. Deer would run into the car; bears would be in the garbage can. It was a lot of fun. We got a lot done. That was really enjoyable doing that record. I learned a lot from that."
The band's enjoyment paid off in a big way when the album arrived in stores: Fool for the City became Foghat's first platinum album, selling more than a million copies and notching a personal-best chart peak of No. 23. "Slow Ride" established itself as the group's biggest hit single, rising all the way to No. 20, while the title track landed just outside the Top 40. After lodging thousands of miles and churning out a handful of albums, they seemed to be well on their way to lasting success.
As it turned out, the good times kept rolling for a few years, but by the end of the decade — and following the first of many subsequent lineup changes, with Jameson exiting in 1976 to be replaced by Craig MacGregor — Foghat were pretty well spent on the charts, and after opening the '80s with a string of mostly ignored LPs that found the band briefly taking a poppier detour, they disbanded in 1984.
You can't keep a good boogie band down, however, and before the '80s were out, Foghat were back — and they've stayed active ever since, even following the departures of Price, who retired in 1999, and Peverett, who passed away the following year. The band released its most recent studio recording, Last Train Home, in 2010, and continues to tour — much to Earl's delight.
"Everyone is ready to go out and party. The band is doing great, the band plays really well. I've been practicing for 50 years — it's about time I got it right," Earl joked to the Aquarian during the 2014 interview. "We get on real well and hang out together. We're a bunch of happy drunks."

Q: How to Use F# ODATA TypeProvider with OAuth authorization I have a OData svc that needs Oauth token for authorization. The metadata url is available here.
However,
let MySvc = ODataService<"https://wamsstageclus001rest-hs.cloudapp-int.net/API/$metadata?api-version=1.0">

returns error reading schema, 404.
What am I missing? How can I use the API ?

A: There's a bug in the FSharp.Data.TypeProviders.dll that ships with VS2012 regarding how to append $metadata to the URL.
Fortunately, type providers are 'just another library' needed at design-time, so to address this bug (and some other type provider issues), our current plans are to release an updated type provider library out-of-band.  Historically with VS2010 the F# team has done open-source release updates of the F# compiler/library sources and powerpack a month or two after VS ships, and so if one assumes the same for VS2012, this would likely be a possible time for us to publish some updates to type providers.  (I can't give any more release schedule information at this time.)

A: Are you sure that is the correct URL to use. Typically you provide the URL for the service, and the service provider looks up the metadata on its own. However your code is providing the URL for the metadata.
Because of this, the type provider is probably adding additional information to the URL in order to utilize it, and the service does not know what to do with these compound URLs.
EDIT: Apparently someone felt I was not clear.
https://wamsstageclus001rest-hs.cloudapp-int.net/API/$metadata?api-version=1.0

Will become, when the ODataAdapter attempts to obtain metadata information
https://wamsstageclus001rest-hs.cloudapp-int.net/API/$metadata?api-version=1.0$metadata

Or something similar. If you browse to that particular site, you will see a 404 error.
However if you give the ODataAdapter
https://wamsstageclus001rest-hs.cloudapp-int.net/API/

Then adding the metadata won't cause a 404 error. You should be able to leave the version information, since it is using a URL class instead of string manipulation (or so I would hope) which would look like the following
    https://wamsstageclus001rest-hs.cloudapp-int.net/API/?api-version=1.0

'Synchronic' Is One Mesmerizing Drug Trip of a Movie
by Nick Schager|Published October 23, 2020
Aaron Moorhead and Justin Benson are obsessed with time. In each of the writing/directing duo's features—2012's Resolution, 2015's Spring, and 2018's The Endless—the ability to travel backwards or forwards in history, or to exist eternally, affords insights into the nature of self, and the knotty emotional and psychological dynamics that govern our lives. Cleverly idiosyncratic, they're genre filmmakers who use their twisty temporal sci-fi conceits for incisive and moving explorations of the human condition.
That remains true with Synchronic (in theaters and drive-ins Oct. 23), Moorhead and Benson's most high-profile and mainstream-accessible release to date. Having worked wonders on relatively low budgets and with largely unknown casts—The Endless, for example, starred the directors themselves as siblings—the partners' latest ups the marquee-name quotient via headliners Anthony Mackie and Jamie Dornan, here playing New Orleans paramedics grappling with dilemmas of both a familiar and head-spinning variety. No matter that their leads are well-known Hollywood players, however, Moorhead and Benson haven't lost their touch for imbuing out-there fantasy with melodramatic poignancy, the result being a confident, crazy and surprisingly affecting saga about grief, loss, longing, the dangerous allure of escape, and the interconnectedness of everything.
Per the pair's tradition, Synchronic ultimately hinges on an everlasting time loop. Rather than getting bogged down in paradoxes, though, it maintains strict focus on the here-and-now predicament of ambulance medics Steve (Mackie) and Dennis (Dornan), the former a single ladies' man with a fondness for getting drunk and hopping into bed with women, and the latter a husband to Tara (Katie Aselton) and father to both a newborn and 18-year-old Brianna (Ally Ioannides). Best friends since high school, Steve and Dennis are stuck in a rut, discontent with their respective stations in life and unsure of how to appreciably improve their circumstances. They're middle-aged guys who don't understand what they have (and need), and their personal plights are soon complicated by a series of work calls where Steve finds first an ancient French coin and, shortly thereafter, a packet labeled "Synchronic."
When synchronic is subsequently spotted at a second call—where a woman has suffered a bizarre snake bite in her hotel room, and her boyfriend has plummeted to his death in an elevator shaft—Steve's suspicions are raised. Synchronic begins with this traumatized couple's wild hallucinatory trip on the narcotic, although it's the opening shot of their hands clasped together, and then separating, that truly speaks to the film's underlying thematic concerns. The process of holding tight and letting go, not to mention the way in which we're all intertwined, is central to Moorhead and Benson's story, which soon additionally burdens Steve with a bombshell: he has a fatal brain tumor.
As it turns out, that's a case of good news/bad news, given that Steve's affliction affects his pineal gland in a manner that makes him ideally susceptible to the effects of synchronic. Of course, Steve doesn't have an immediate desire to ingest a potentially lethal synthetic pill. Yet thanks to an awkward run-in with its creator, he discovers its true magic: it transports users to a random point in the past. When Brianna takes synchronic on a friend's balcony and promptly vanishes without a trace, Steve—figuring that, since he's dying, he has nothing left to lose—begins experimenting with the substance, thus initiating journeys back to the Ice Age, a conquistador-populated bayou, and other distant Gulf Coast periods.
From aerial shots of crisscrossing nighttime streets, to sights of latticed bridges and a mesh mask and red X-pattern light on Steve's face during his MRIs, Synchronic is awash in interlocking and diagonal line imagery. Entrancing snapshots of the Milky Way amplify the overarching impression of a universe whose countless separate entities are threaded together in a fashion at once invisible and undeniable. A rock inscribed with the misspelled word "Allways" suggests two separate notions about the infinite, even as it also plays a functional narrative role in Steve and Dennis' odyssey, which picks up after Steve begins popping Synchronic in his free time, recording his experiences with a video camera, and figuring out the strange rules that govern his unique trips.
"Entrancing snapshots of the Milky Way amplify the overarching impression of a universe whose countless separate entities are threaded together in a fashion at once invisible and undeniable."
Synchronic develops its characters' individual issues and interpersonal relations with care and compassion, all while simultaneously lacing scenes with clues to its mysteries. It's a delicate balancing act that further lends the proceedings a knitted cohesiveness, such that Steve's fear of death and Dennis' lament about his unhappy marriage (rooted in the notion that once you meet the love of your life, it won't ever happen again) are both associated with the larger quest to use synchronic to travel back in time to find Brianna. At every turn, Moorhead and Benson imbue their material with pressing notions about mortality, dreams, unease about the future, and yearning for the past, be it via the recurring alarm of Steve's wristwatch or the directors' circular camerawork, which rotates on its axis, glides through spaces, and pans between characters—conveying a powerful sense of the space between them—with exhilarating fluidity.
Augmented by an audioscape of disharmonious electronic noises, Synchronic's low-key virtuosity is married to understated performances from Mackie and Dornan that locate a genuine strain of mid-life malaise, where the grass perpetually looks greener on the other side, and day-to-day drudgery turns every waking hour tedious. Blind to what's important, Dennis and Steve are lost souls navigating a slightly unreal urban landscape, and the actors' easygoing and empathetic rapport grounds the fanciful action. Utilizing canny jump-cuts, and cross-cutting between various time frames within a given sequence, Moorhead and Benson formally express not only Dennis and Steve's wayward states of mind, but how what's come before, and what's yet to occur, are all fundamentally related to what's happening at this very moment.
"The present is a miracle," muses Steve at film's conclusion, thus articulating the everyday carpe-diem spirit that guides Synchronic. Ending not with a bang but with a touching act of sacrifice and a handshake, it's a moving portrait of embracing what's good and important while you can. It's also reconfirmation that Moorhead and Benson are genre auteurs with few equals.

Using a new net, marine biologists from Germany's Alfred Wegener Institute have, for the first time, been able to catch polar cod directly beneath the Arctic sea ice with a trawl, allowing them to determine their large-scale distribution and origin. This information is of fundamental importance, as polar cod are a major source of food for seals, whales and seabirds in the Arctic.

"Kill referees - not animals!"
As Nanaa said, they can stop votes with a single key (unless they're too lazy to be lazy).
If your "clan" is serious and causes trouble for refs, I wouldn't be surprised if they take counter-anti measures by kicking and banning. Good luck with that.
Next thing you know, some suicide bomber gamer blows himself up right at an unfair ref's door steps.
Cool. Post pictures of the event and make sure no animal is harmed in the process.

Former GOP Rep. Sessions Subpoenaed In Giuliani Criminal Investigation
By Ahmed Jawadi
According to the Wall Street Journal, the subpoena concerns documents related to Rudy Giuliani's dealings with Ukraine.
Former U.S. Rep. Pete Sessions has been subpoenaed in relation to his interactions with President Donald Trump's personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani.
According to the Wall Street Journal, the subpoena concerns documents related to Giuliani's business dealings with Ukraine and his efforts to oust the former American ambassador to Ukraine. It also seeks information about any interactions between Sessions, Giuliani and the businessmen who were indicted last week for allegedly funneling foreign money into U.S. elections.
According to the indictment, those businessmen had "committed to raise $20,000 or more for a then-sitting congressman ... during the 2018 election cycle." Around the same time, prosecutors say the businessmen met with the congressman seeking "assistance in causing the Government to remove or recall the then-U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine." Although it does not name the congressman, records of donations to Sessions' campaign matched with the ones specified in the indictment. Sessions also had written to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo in 2018 asking for the then-U.S. ambassador to Ukraine's removal.
Sessions has denied any wrongdoing, saying he didn't have "any knowledge of the scheme described in the indictment or have involvement or coordination of it." He also said his request to Pompeo had nothing to do with the businessmen, and that he made it "after several congressional colleagues [told him] that the current U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine was disparaging President Trump to others as part of those official duties."
A spokesperson for Sessions said the former lawmaker "is cooperating with the U.S. Attorney from the Southern District of New York" and will turn over requested documents within a few weeks.
