Fantastic Fest 2015 Review and Interview: CAMINO
By Mark Saldana
Rating: 3 (Out of 4 Stars)
At last year's Fantastic Fest I watched and enjoyed an intense, edgy and visceral film titled Camino. Because the film stars stunt person-turned-actress Zoe Bell and director/actor Nacho Vigalondo, I went in pretty certain I was in for an exciting treat. Though I was mostly familiar with Zoe's previous stunt work and her acting/appearances in some of Quentin Tarantino's films, I had never seen Zoe take on such an emotionally charged role as an actress. As for Vigalondo, I have seen and been impressed with some of his feature films as a director, but had never actually seen him act. Both stars of Camino do not disappoint in their respective roles and director Josh C. Waller makes a film that mostly delivers what it promises–adrenaline-fueled entertainment.
Bell stars as Avery Taggart, a talented photojournalist whose work tends to embrace visceral and powerful imagery. Taggart gets assigned to Colombia, to follow and document the work of a revolutionary/missionary known as "El Guero" (Nacho Vigalondo). It seems as if Guero' s intentions are honorable and he does appear to do some admirable work. However, Avery accidentally discovers committing some not-so-honorable crimes and captures these acts with her camera. Pretty-much instantly discovered, the courageous photographer must flee from the missionaries whom she discovers are really guerrillas who will stop at nothing to kill Avery and retrieve her photos.
Though the character types and scenarios are not all that original, the movie still delivers solid thrills and entertainment. With a screenplay written by Daniel Noah, director Josh C. Waller offers his audience a dark and violent journey that would make anyone fear the jungles of Colombia. Both Bell and Vigalondo offer stellar work and prove themselves as talented actors. Director Waller does well in creating and capturing some fierce and emotional, nail-biting scenes with his outstanding leads.
I had the wonderful opportunity to sit with Zoe, Nacho and Josh C. Waller during Fantastic Fest last year. This delightfully charming and funny trio was having a great time during the festival and during their promotional work for the film. The New Zealand-born Zoe really is such a sweetheart, but I still couldn't help being in awe of her, as I am familiar with some her truly awesome stunt work. Spanish director and now actor, Nacho Vigalondo may have developed quite the wild reputation at previous Fantastic Fests, but was actually quite charming during the interview, but with a wicked and sly sense of humor. As for Josh C. Waller, he comes across as an intelligent man who is obviously enamored with the art of filmmaking.
Mark: (To Waller) How difficult was your shoot and what kinds of obstacles did you have to overcome making this movie?
Josh C. Waller: It's a tiny, tiny film. Well, it's a big film that we were trying to make for a tiny amount, so you don't have a lot of the luxuries you'd have when you typically shoot. We didn't have any trailers. We were all kind of underneath a big tent. The last part of the shoot, everyone was hanging out in the back of an old Hertz van. We were generally shooting in a rain forest (in Hawaii).
Mark: (To Waller again) Talk about the photos featured in the film. (In the film, actual photos are shown and are supposed to be the work of protagonist Avery Taggart.)
Waller: All the initial photographs were photographs of real children that were killed in genocides. The pictures were donated by our technical adviser Zoriah Miller, who is a war photographer. That is also the reason the film is dedicated to the victims in the photographs. It's a really touchy position because you're looking at images with such a crazy, emotional impact, and there's the moral part of you that's going, " How do I feel about this?" because this is a movie we made for entertainment sake and these are pictures of real victims.
Mark: (To Zoe) Do you consider yourself only an actress now, or do you still do stunt work for movies?
Zoe Bell: It has been about five years now that I have been hired as a stunt double or worked in the stunt department. The only stunt stuff I have done has been for my own characters. I'm greedy because I want to do my own work, and unless someone tells me me I can't do it for my own character, I want to do it. I did, at one point, make this choice (to focus on acting) because I wanted everyone else to see me as an actress and not just a stunt girl.
Mark: (To Nacho) Last night at the premiere, you compared directing and acting to BDSM. Talk about this co-relation you discovered directing and acting.
Nacho Vigalondo: I didn't mean so much that directing is being dominant and acting is being submissive, but I was talking about the different pleasures of both. As an actor, I enjoyed the pleasures of receiving instructions and being useful to another guy (director). As a director, I also enjoy the pleasures of being in charge. Both pleasures are possible.
Mark: (To Waller) What was it like to work with Zoe Bell, a badass woman known for her amazing stunt work and Nacho Vigalondo, a fascinating filmmaker who has made some great films?
Waller: I had two of my closest friends that were leads in the film, but have previously dominated in their areas of expertise. So, if I had any questions in regard to stunts or action, Zoe and I could talk about that stuff. And to have Nacho working with me, I was able to talk to him about shots. It was great to have a good friend giving me suggestions and ideas about certain scenes.
Vigalondo: (Very modestly added) I haven't made that many films. I have only made four. My experience is really limited, and I am still learning.
Mark: (To Zoe) Besides action films, what other kinds of movie would you like to make?
Bell: (Excitedly) I want to do comedy! I love the idea of spending my day making people laugh. That would make me very happy.
Mark: (To Nacho) Now that you have acted in one film, and performed well, would you consider acting in other films, or would you rather just focus on being a director?
Vigalondo: I don't know if I could have made this movie five years ago. Being an adult really helps, and understanding yourself. I don't like the idea of just being a filmmaker or everyday of your life, being a filmmaker because if you invest all of your life in being a filmmaker, what is your life about? If I have the choice to make something else, equally as awesome, I wouldn't hesitate.
Camino will open in some select theaters on March 4, 2016 and will be available for viewing on VOD and iTunes on March 8, 2016.

Booth, Paul and Simmonds, Andrew and Boyle, Angela and Clough, Sharon and Cool, H E M and Poore, Daniel (2010) The late Roman cemetery at Lankhills, Winchester: Excavations 2000-2005. Project Report. Oxford Archaeology.
Excavations were carried out from 2000-2005 on part of the major late Roman cemetery at Lankhills, Winchester, a site already well-known from excavation carried out in 1967-1972 by Giles Clarke, which had examined a total of 444 inhumation and seven cremation graves. The new excavations, undertaken by Oxford Archaeology (OA) on behalf of Hampshire County Council, revealed a further 307 inhumation graves (plus six more partly-excavated previously) and 25 more cremation burials. The latter included seven burials of bustum-type, unusual in a late Roman context. The northern boundary of the cemetery was identified. Most burials were aligned roughly west-east in relation to this boundary or perpendicular to a north-south boundary at the eastern margin of the excavation. Further west an approximate WSW-ENE alignment was more common, relating to the line of the Winchester-Cirencester road lying beyond the western margin of the site. Localised areas of intercutting pits associated with cremation burials formed early 4th-century foci for continued intensive activity within the northern part of the site. Burials, as in the earlier excavation, were mostly in wooden coffins and were much more commonly provided with nailed footwear and other grave goods than is usual in late Romano-British urban cemeteries. Pottery vessels were found in 39 inhumation graves and coins in 28 graves. Other finds included combs, spindle whorls, bracelets, rings, beads, and a pair of shears. A number of age/gender associations were apparent; jewellery was often associated with adolescents and young women and spindle whorls with older women, for example. Afurther six crossbow brooches, one from a cremation burial, were found, to add to the eight from earlier work. These were almost invariably associated with elements of belt equipment (and the latter often with knives) and indicate an unparalleled official/military element within the cemetery population, particularly from the middle of the 4th century. The most spectacular individual burial contained a gilded and inscribed crossbow brooch, a silver gilt belt fitting and decorated spurs, a unique assemblage for Roman Britain. The human remains indicate a generally quite healthy population with reasonable life expectancy, a number of individuals being assigned to a '60+ years' age bracket. Neonates and infants were present but, as usual, only in small numbers. Analysis of carbon and nitrogen isotopes suggests that many individuals enjoyed a relatively mixed diet. Strontium and oxygen isotope analysis was carried out on 40 individuals to provide a wideranging assessment of geographical origin, particularly important in the light of controversial claims by Clarke to have identified intrusive groups on the basis of aspects of their grave assemblages. The analysis revealed diverse origins for the sampled individuals, with as many as 11 perhaps having been born outside Britain. Only one of these correlated fairly closely with the suggested area of origin of Clarke's principal intrusive group in Pannonia. Most of the 'foreigners' were of unspecific but broadly western European origin, but three may have come from the Mediterranean area, possibly even from North Africa. There was an almost complete lack of correlation between non-British isotopic origin and 'intrusive' suites of grave goods. Use of the cemetery probably commenced early in the 4th century and continued at least to the end of the century, but an attempt to use radiocarbon to clarify the date of very late burials (including some with associated coins dated after AD 388) produced problematic results and the degree of use of the cemetery after AD 400 remains uncertain. Some chronological trends are apparent, however. Burials of the official/military group were dated after c AD 350, and the majority of the incomers identified by isotope analysis (including those identified in an earlier study) were also of this date. While burials with pottery were more common in the first half of the 4th century the range of grave goods deposited seems to have expanded later. Very late 4th-century burials in the north-west corner of the site included a few richly furnished north-south aligned graves. Isotope evidence suggests some spatial separation of two non-local groups (broadly western- and central-European), respectively in the northern and southern parts of the cemetery area, but such hints of differentiation within the burial population are rare and their significance is debatable. The implications for the cemetery population of the possible identification of Winchester as the location of an Imperial weaving shop (gynaeceum) are explored. Such a presence might account for the appearance of the official/military community, but this can be no more than a tentative suggestion.


« London Mela – experience Self Realisation – it's free!
It's always amazing to see how relaxed and peaceful people can feel during the Sahaja Yoga sessions in the sometimes noisy, crowded and hectic atmosphere of the London Yoga shows. Quite often we have other stall holders coming to us to learn how to meditate and gain some relief. Come and see us on stand number FO.
In the past – all the volunteers have been favourably impressed by the interest of show visitors, who enjoy so much those few, precious moments of 'thoughtless awareness' achieved through Sahaja Yoga meditation. Often those who try-out Sahaja Yoga kept sitting – beyond time – absorbed in their deep state of meditation. Sahaja Yoga is a practical experience that immediately and easily allows people to realise a state of inner peace and relaxation and also, in many cases, a state of bliss.
Nowadays everyone seems to know a bit about Yoga …but exactly What is Yoga?
Please come along and give yourself a present…your own Self Realisation.
Occasionally we hold Special one day retreats to help those interested, deepen their individual experience and hear advice and tips from those who have been practicing for some time. It's ultimately all about getting into 'thoughtless awareness', sometimes referred to as 'mental silence'.

Ken Dill and David Mobley from UCSF have a really nice review in Structure on computational modeling of protein-drug interactions and the problems inherent in the process. I would strongly recommend anyone interested in the challenges of calculating protein-drug binding to read the review, if not for anything else for the copious references provided. The holy grail of most such modeling is to accurately calculate the free energy of binding. For doing this we frequently start with a known structure of a protein-ligand complex. The main point that the authors emphasize is that when we are looking at a single protein-ligand complex, deduced either through crystallography or NMR, we are missing a lot of important things.
Perhaps the most important factor is entropy which is not at all obvious in a single structure. Typically both the protein and the ligand will populate several different conformations in solution. Both will have to pay complex entropic penalties to bind one another. The ligand strain energy (usually estimated at 2-3 kcal/mol for most ligands) also plays an important role. The desolvation cost for the ligand also can prominently figure. In addition both protein and ligand will have some residual entropy even in the bound state. As if this were not enough of a problem, much of the binding energy can come from the entropic gain that the release of water molecules from active sites engenders. Calculating all these entropies for protein, ligand and solvent is important for accurately calculating the free energy of protein-ligand binding. But there are few methods that can accomplish this complex task.
Among the methods reviewed in the article are most of the important methods used currently. Usually the tradeoff for each method is between cost and accuracy. Methods like docking are fast but inaccurate although they can work well on relatively rigid and well-parameterized systems. Docking also typically does not take protein motion and induced-fit effects into account. Slightly better methods are MM-PBSA or MM-GBSA which as the names indicate, combine docking poses with an implicit solvent model (PBSA or GBSA). Entropy and especially protein entropy is largely ignored, but since we are usually comparing similar ligands, such errors are expected to cancel. Going to more advanced techniques, relative free-energy calculations use molecular dynamics (MD) to try to map the detailed potential energy surfaces for both protein and ligand. Absolute free-energy perturbation calculations are perhaps the gold standard in calculating free energies but are hideously expensive. They work best for ligands that are simple.
There is clearly a long way to go before calculation of ∆Gs becomes a practical endeavor in the pharmaceutical industry. There are essentially two factors that contribute to the recalcitrance of the problem. The first factor as indicated is the sheer complexity of the problem; assessing the thermodynamic features of protein, ligand and solvent in multiple configurational and conformational states. The second problem is a problem inherent in nature; the sensitivity of the binding constant to the free energy. As iterated before, the all-holy relation ∆G = -RT ln K ensures that an error of even 1 kcal/mol in calculation will translate to a large error in the binding constant. The myriad complex factors noted above ensure that errors of 2-3 kcal/mol already constitute the limit of what the best methods can give us. Recall that an error of 3 kcal/mol means that you are dead and buried.
But we push on. One equal temper of heroic hearts. Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will. To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield. At some point we will reach 1 kcal/mol. And then we will sail.

SAP doubts Android is ready for closer enterprise software ties
By Ry Crozier on Mar 16, 2017 10:23AM
SAP's Rick Knowles.
Vendor readies iOS SDK for public use.
Google has existing reason to improve Android's security image and raise consumer confidence, but the same actions may be crucial if the mobile operating system is to also gain the trust of the enterprise.
Android security boss Adrian Ludwig acknowledged last month that Android's take-up was hampered by its insecure image and the difficulties experienced by users updating or patching their devices.
These are some of the same reasons that Android is being overlooked for mobile extensions of enterprise software applications like SAP.
At the end of this month, SAP will publicly release a software development kit (SDK) it has spent the past ten months jointly building with Apple's engineers.
The SDK is intended to make it easier for customers and partners to create iOS apps that hook into SAP's platform-as-a-service.
By contrast, SAP offers a "generic" SDK for Windows 10 - "not deeply integrated or built with Microsoft". Android users, meanwhile, can access SAP functionality through a Fiori client; Fiori allows SAP functionality to be ported particularly to mobile devices.
SAP SE's Apple partnership senior vice president and general manager Rick Knowles told iTnews on the sidelines of Mobile World Congress earlier this month that SAP questioned whether Android could support the type of tie-in it has built with Apple.
Knowles said SAP liked that the iOS ecosystem was quick to move to new versions of the operating system, and that the code changes typically did not break apps.
"One of the beautiful elements that we've experienced with iOS is that when you have an app running on an iOS device and they push out a new OS or security patch, the apps don't break," Knowles said.
"On Android, depending on which version [users are on], when they push something out, apps will break.
"Maybe in the consumer world that's OK but for us when we're worried about creating a logistics app for transportation or warehouse management, or maybe financial data, if an update crashes the app we've just messed up the enterprise. That's not SAP.
"So you can still deploy [SAP] on Android using Fiori but if you're going to build native [integration] we have to make sure it's rock solid."
Knowles said end-to-end encryption in iOS was also a big drawcard for closer integration with SAP.
"I am very worried about [Android's] security protocol," he said.
"It's not that Android is bad, it's just not as secure."
SAP has spent time shopping early versions of the Apple SDK with select customers and iOS developers in the lead-up to its imminent launch.
The latter group is particularly important considering SAP's plans to build a community of developers around the SDK.
"Are we going to be pulling from Apple's 13 million developer community or SAP's 2.5-3 million developer community, to create [this] new enterprise iOS community? How fast that grows is really a question but we know we're going to be pulling from both," Knowles said.
"We don't know the uptake will be. This is virgin territory [for us]."
SAP is hoping to encourage the community's development by launching a 'SAP academy for iOS', comprising both free training in Apple's Swift programming language and classroom training on the specific SDK.
What SAP won't be doing is encroaching too far into the iOS app creation space.
Knowles said SAP had "agreed that we would create just a few apps and release them". This will include a companion app for the S/4HANA professional services cloud, but in total SAP plans to limit its app contribution to "about two handfuls of apps – maybe 10 apps over the next couple of years".
"A lot of customers have said 'why aren't you putting out more apps? I was expecting a portfolio of apps'," Knowles said.
"But Apple and SAP came to a realisation that if we're really going to invest in the developer tools, then we really believe that most of the innovation is going to come from the customers or ecosystem, not from SAP."
That relatively hands-off approach is a departure from SAP's standard mode of operation.
"We're flipping our background," Knowles said.
"We've always controlled everything – we create the app, charge you a user fee, and control the delivery. Now we're basically saying we'll give you the SDK, if you have the [SAP] platform, build deploy as many apps as you want."

People who don't believe in evolution often argue that something as complicated as the human eye could not have arisen by an undirected process. Just as the existence of a watch implies the existence of a watchmaker, they argue, so the eye demands what they call an intelligent designer.
If that is so, why did the intelligent designer give vertebrates an eye whose design is markedly inferior to the design of the eye of a squid or octopus? In those animals, focusing is accomplished by muscles that move the lens backward or forward, just as a telescope is focused. But in the eyes of vertebrates, muscles are used not to move the lens, but to alter its shape.
And that is a problem. As we age, the lenses in our eyes become less elastic. In other words, they cease focusing well, and we become unable to clearly see things that are close, a condition known as presbyopia—"old eyes" in Greek.
The solution to that problem profoundly changed the world.
GLASS IS MADE from silicon dioxide, a very common mineral in the Earth's crust, known as quartz. It is often found in the form of sand, and it has one very curious chemical attribute. When it's melted, instead of recrystallizing as most crystalline substances do on cooling, it instead forms the amorphous, translucent substance we call glass.
Glass occurs naturally wherever silicon dioxide encounters an intense heat source, such as lightning, a volcano, or a meteor strike. Obsidian, glass formed by volcanos, was used to make cutting tools until it was replaced by metal. Two millennia after humans learned to smelt metal (about 5500 B.C.), they learned how to make glass instead of just finding it.
When glass blowing was invented, during the first century B.C., glass vessels became commonplace. But in the ancient world, glass was used only for jewelry, containers, and window glass, which in the Roman Empire was a great status symbol because of its cost.
Early in the 13th century, glassmakers from Constantinople settled in Venice. After a series of fires in the city, all of the glassmakers were forced to move with their furnaces to the nearby island of Murano, where they could burn only themselves down.
Murano soon became the center of European glassmaking. Because of the concentration of glassmakers, it also became an informal research center, as the glassmakers, who were often closely related, bounced ideas off one another.
Monks had known for some time that a piece of glass that was curved on one side magnified the text of a book. And late in the 13th century, some unknown genius took two discs of glass that bulged in the center and fitted them into a frame that rested on the nose. Reading glasses, the solution to presbyopia, were born.
But spectacles did much more than just make it easier for people over 40 to read. They effectively doubled the productive years of anyone who worked close up, from monks who copied manuscripts to surgeons to tailors to artists to lawyers and accountants.
In the 14th century, literacy was not widespread, so the demand for spectacles was relatively small. The invention of printing lowered the cost of books and pamphlets by at least an order of magnitude, hugely increasing the demand. In 1450, there were only about 50,000 books in all of Europe. By 1500 there were roughly 10 million books.
AS LITERACY SPREAD, so did the demand for reading glasses, and the industry grew. The increased number of producers drove experimentation. At the end of the 16th century, the microscope was invented in the Netherlands. Galileo quickly improved the first, simple microscopes, which were essentially magnifying glasses, by developing the compound microscope, with two or more lenses that allowed much higher magnification. For the first time, humans could explore a world that no one even knew existed. The exploration of that world would revolutionize medicine and biology.
A few years after the first microscope was made, the Dutch invented the telescope. Again, Galileo quickly improved it and, crucially, turned it to the heavens. When he used it to observe Jupiter, he noticed that there were four dots of light on either side of the planet's equator, dots that moved night by night. He immediately understood what he was seeing—bodies in orbit around another heavenly body. That contradicted both Aristotle and Catholic Church doctrine, which held that all heavenly bodies orbited the Earth.
He also noticed that Venus, like our moon, showed phases, including a full phase when it had the smallest apparent diameter, and that it was brightest when at its much larger, crescent phrase. That was impossible if it were orbiting the Earth. It had to be orbiting the sun.
These quickly proved a deathblow to the geocentric model of the universe that had dominated astronomy since the time of Aristotle. Freed of this ancient paradigm, astronomy developed quickly into a real science, producing such giants as Isaac Newton.
Thus, the telescope and the microscope were fundamental in starting the scientific revolution of the 17th century. The cascade of discoveries in chemistry, physics, botany, biology, medicine, and metallurgy in turn drove the Industrial Revolution and gave us the modern world.
One can only wonder. Had evolution given us a better eye design to start with, would we have discovered these fundamental tools of science as soon as we did? Believers in intelligent design could argue that the designer did it on purpose to drive us to invent them.

ALBANY, N.Y. — Meeting for the fourth straight year in the Hudson Valley Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Women's Soccer Championship title game, No. 2 seed SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry upended No. 1 seed Albany College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences, 3-0, on Sunday afternoon at ACPHS Soccer Field to claim their third straight league title.
Similar to their 2-1 double-overtime loss in the regular season, ESF scored early with a Lindsay Eberhart goal just 4:20 into the contest. A close opening 45 saw limited opportunities for both squads and the Oaks carried a 1-0 lead at the intermission. The second stanza saw play open up, with shots 10-3 in favor of the Mighty Oaks, and insurance goals in the 52nd and 65th minutes by Alyssa Hughes and Rachael Truska helped seal their third-straight title.
For her efforts in the midfield leading to no goals surrendered in the tournament, ESF senior Sarah Wohlfahrt was named Tournament MVP.
The Mighty Oaks will await their seeding for the six-team tournament and the Panthers will await a possible at-large berth when the field is announced on Tuesday, October 30 at 4:30 p.m. on theuscaa.com.

Q: Connected component and Tutte polynomial I am trying to find a Tutte polynomial for a graph. And i am confused with the definition of that as well as the definition of connected component.

From the definition above, does the notation $k(E)$ means the number of connected components of G?
and about the definition of the connected component, i have got the following definition from wiki that a connected component is a subgraph in which any two vertices are connected to each other by paths, and which is connected to no additional vertices in the supergraph. So according to this definition, is it make sense to say the complete graph $K_3$ has 2 connected component since $K_3$ itself have any two vertices connected; as well as another subgraph which by deleting one edge from $K_3$.

A: According to the final line in the definition, $k(E)$ is the number of connected components of the graph $(V,E)$.  Since $G=(V,E)$, then $k(E)$ is the number of connected components of $G$.
The definition of a connected component in the first sentence of the Wikipedia article is somewhat confusing.  The "As an equivalence relation" section has perhaps a better definition: say a vertex is reachable from another if there is a path from that vertex to the other.  Reachability is an equivalence relation, and each equivalence class is called a connected component.
For example, since $K_n$ has a path from every vertex to every other, it has exactly one connected component.  A visual way to think about connected components is that when you draw it on paper you can separate each connected component from each other, like in the illustration on the Wikipedia article.
Something to watch out for in the definition of $k$ is that $k(A)$ is the number of connected components of $(V,A)$, and not the number of connected components of the graph induced by the edges $A$ (this caught me when I first learned about the Tutte polynomial).  For example, $k(\emptyset)=\lvert V\rvert$ since there are no paths from any vertex to any other, so each vertex is in its own connected component.

Seven Movies Like There Will Be Blood You Must Watch
By Riyas Ali 8 months ago June 3, 2021
A loose adaptation of the novel Oil by Upton Sinclair, There Will Be Blood is an epic drama that follows the life of Daniel Plainview (Daniel Day-Lewis), a silver miner who becomes a self-made oil tycoon. After learning about a small town blessed with a gushing oil well, Daniel and his son head to the nondescript place to the West in the hope that they can strike gold. The masterpiece work from Paul Thomas Anderson is considered the greatest movie ever made in the 21st century. The epic film shows how corruption, conflicts and deception imperil the life of the villainous protagonist even as a well of oil resources increases their fortunes. The father-son bond also becomes an unlikely casualty as greed and deception take the better of them. Here we have put together a list of the must-see drama films, some of which you can stream on Netflix or Amazon Prime.
7. Road To Perdition (2002)
A beautifully constructed mobster movie, Sam Mendes' Road to Perdition explores the deep bond between a father and his son who are out to punish the tormentors of their family. Hitman Micheal O'Sullivan (Tom Hanks) and son are on the run after Connor (Daniel Craig), son of John Rooney (Paul Newman) kills his wife and youngest son who happened to witness a hit. Tom produces a stately performance as he sets out for retribution for Connor's brutal murders.
6. The Other Boleyn Girl (2008)
It is a fictionalized tale of the Boleyn family of 16th century England, that goes by theme of romance, betrayal and intrigue. Though not historically accurate, The Other Boleyn Girl is a sumptuous historic treat to eyes, depicting the rise and fall of the family caused by ever ambitious, power hungry men and women. It is set against the backdrop of 16th century Europe and is driven by the greedy family of the two beautiful sisters – Anne (Natalie Portman) and Mary Boleyn (Scarlett Johansson) who are out to win the love of King Henry VIII (Eric Bana).
5. Taxi Driver (1976)
An American psychological drama, Taxi Driver is a must on the watchlist of any movie buff. Taxi Driver has a hard-hitting story with Robert De Niro in the lead role as Travis Bickle, an insomniac and lonewolf cabbie in New York City. The masterpiece from Martin Scorsese is a tad slow but blessed with a brilliant narrative style. Haunted and disturbed night roamer Bickle remains completely detached from the world of reality and becomes obsessed with saving the world.
4. Schindler's List (1993)
Sombre and horrific, this epic historical drama directed by Steven Speilberg is adapted from Schindler's Ark, a novel by Thomas Keneally based on a true story. Schindler's List exposes the sheer horror of the brutal Holocaust and gas chamber nightmare during German-occupied Poland during World War II, with elements of typical humanisam from Steven Spielberg. Just as World War II starts, businessman Oskar Schindler (Liam Neeson) reaches Krakow to make a big fortune using the Jewish war prisoners. The horror of the Jewsish workers form the rest of the story.
3. Joker (2019)
Joker is an american psychological drama from Todd Philips, that follows Arthur Fleks (Joaquin Phoenix, a lonely failed comedian suffering from a special condition that causes him to laugh uncontrollably. The movie is known for Phoenix's feral performance as a failed joker who has to live with constant insults and bullying from others. Phoenix wins Oscar for the brilliant showing in this disturbing drama.
2. 12 Angry Men (1957)
Based on a teleplay of the same name, this American courtroom drama is a examination of the jury system that prevents a miscarriage of justice. It is a well-written one-room movie by Sidney Lumet that tells the story of a jury of 12 men who deliberate the trial of an 18-year-old on the basis of valid doubts. The movie exposes the power one holds to influence and change the outcome of justice. 12 Angry Men stars Henry Fonda, Lee J. Cobb and Martin Balsam.
1. The Shawshank Redemption (1994)
Written and directed by Frank Darabont, The Shawshank Redemption is a well-constructed jail break film, adapted from 1982 Stephen King novella Rita and Shawshank Redemption. The movie is marked by performances from Morgan Freeman (Red) and Tim Robbins (Andu Dufresne), and is the most uplifting prison drama. Handed two life terms for murdering his wife and her lover, banker Andy was sent to the most hostile and toughest prison where he carried out a jailbreak alone.

Orange County is our home town and we feel fortunate to live in such a beautiful part of the world.
Orange County CA Flag
Orange County is in Southern California. Its county seat is Santa Ana. As of the 2000 census, its population was 2,846,293, while a July 2008 estimate placed the population at 3,010,759, making it the second most populous county in California, behind Los Angeles County and ahead of San Diego County.
The county is famous for its tourism, as the home of such attractions as Disneyland and Knott's Berry Farm, as well as several beaches along more than 40 miles (64 km) of coastline. It is also recognized for its nationally known centers of religious worship, such as Crystal Cathedral, Saddleback Church, Calvary Chapel. It is known for its affluence and political conservatism. In fact, in 2005 a major academic study listed three Orange County cities as being among America's 25 "most conservative," making it the only county in the country with more than one such city
Whereas most population centers in the United States tend to be identified by a major city, there is no defined urban center in Orange County. It is mostly suburban, except for some traditional downtown areas such as those of Anaheim, Santa Ana, Orange, Huntington Beach, and Fullerton. There are also several edge city-style developments such as the South Coast Metro and Newport Center.
While Santa Ana serves as the governmental center of the county, Anaheim is the main tourist destination and Irvine is the major business and financial hub. Four Orange County cities have populations exceeding 200,000: Santa Ana, Anaheim, Irvine, and Huntington Beach.
Thirty-four incorporated cities are located in Orange County; the newest is Aliso Viejo, which was incorporated in 2001. Anaheim was the first city incorporated in Orange County. It was incorporated in 1870 when the region was still part of neighboring Los Angeles County.
Members of the Tongva, Juaneño, and Luiseño Native American groups long inhabited the area. After the 1769 expedition of Gaspar de Portolà, a Spanish expedition led by Junipero Serra named the area Valle de Santa Ana (Valley of Saint Anne). On November 1, 1776, Mission San Juan Capistrano became the area's first permanent European settlement. Among those who came with Portolá were José Manuel Nieto and José Antonio Yorba.Both these men were given land grants – Rancho Los Nietos and Rancho Santiago de Santa Ana, respectively. The Nieto heirs were granted land in 1834. The Nieto ranches were known as Rancho Los Alamitos, Rancho Las Bolsas, and Rancho Los Coyotes. Yorba heirs Bernardo Yorba and Teodosio Yorba were also granted Rancho Cañón de Santa Ana (Santa Ana Canyon Ranch) and Rancho Lomas de Santiago, respectively. Other ranchos in Orange County were granted by the Mexican government during the Mexican period in Alta California.
A severe drought in the 1860s devastated the prevailing industry, cattle ranching, and much land came into the possession of Richard O'Neill, Sr., James Irvine and other land barons. In 1887, silver was discovered in the Santa Ana Mountains, attracting settlers via the Santa Fe and Southern Pacific Railroads.
Other citrus crops, avocados, and oil extraction were also important to the early economy. Orange County benefited from the July 4, 1904 completion of the Pacific Electric Railway, a trolley connecting Los Angeles with Santa Ana and Newport Beach . The link made Orange County an accessible weekend retreat for celebrities of early Hollywood. It was deemed so significant that the city of Pacific City changed its name to Huntington Beach in honor of Henry Huntington, president of the Pacific Electric and nephew of Collis Huntington. Transportation further improved with the completion of the State Route and U.S. Route 101 (now mostly Interstate 5) in the 1920s.
South Coast Metro area in central Orange County
Agriculture, such as the boysenberry which was made famous by Buena Park native Walter Knott, began to decline after World War II but the county's prosperity soared. The completion of Interstate 5 in 1954 helped make Orange County a bedroom community for many who moved to Southern California to work in aerospace and manufacturing. Orange County received a further boost in 1955 with the opening of Disneyland.
An investment fund melt-down in 1994 led to the criminal prosecution of County of Orange treasurer Robert Citron. The county lost at least $1.5 billion through high-risk investments in derivatives. On December 6, 1994, the County of Orange declared Chapter 9 bankruptcy,from which it emerged in June 1995. The Orange County bankruptcy was the largest municipal bankruptcy in U.S. history.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the county has a total area of 2,455 km2 (948 sq mi), making it the smallest county in Southern California. Surface water accounts for 411 km2 (159 sq mi) of the area, 16.73% of the total; 2,044 km2 (789 sq mi) of it is land. The average annual temperature is about 68 °F (20 °C). Despite its small size as a county, Orange County's total area in square miles is actually just smaller than the State of Rhode Island's land area.
Orange County is bordered on the southwest by the Pacific Ocean, on the north by Los Angeles County, on the northeast by San Bernardino County and Riverside County, and on the southeast by San Diego County.
The northwestern part of the county lies on the coastal plain of the Los Angeles Basin, while the southeastern end rises into the foothills of the Santa Ana Mountains. Most of Orange County's population reside in one of two shallow coastal valleys that lie in the basin, the Santa Ana Valley and the Saddleback Valley. The Santa Ana Mountains lie within the eastern boundaries of the county and of the Cleveland National Forest. The high point is Santiago Peak (5,689 feet (1,734 m)), about 20 mi (32 km) east of Santa Ana. Santiago Peak and nearby Modjeska Peak, just 200 feet (60 m) shorter, form a ridge known as Saddleback, visible from almost everywhere in the county. The Peralta Hills extend westward from the Santa Ana Mountains through the communities of Anaheim Hills, Orange, and ending in Olive. The Loma Ridge is another prominent feature, running parallel to the Santa Ana Mountains through the central part of the county, separated from the taller mountains to the east by Santiago Canyon.
The Santa Ana River is the county's principal watercourse, flowing through the middle of the county from northeast to southwest. Its major tributary to the south and east is Santiago Creek. Other watercourses within the county include Aliso Creek, San Juan Creek, and Horsethief Creek. In the North, the San Gabriel River also briefly crosses into Orange County and exits into the Pacific on the Los Angeles-Orange County line between the cities of Long Beach and Seal Beach. Laguna Beach is home to the county's only natural lakes, Laguna Lakes, which are formed by water rising up against an underground fault.
Residents sometimes figuratively divide the county into "North Orange County" and "South County" (meaning Northwest and Southeast–following the county's natural diagonal orientation along the local coastline). This is more of a cultural and demographic distinction perpetuated by the popular television shows "The OC" and "Laguna Beach," between the older areas closer to Los Angeles, and the more affluent and recently developed areas to the South and East. A transition between older and newer development may be considered to exist roughly parallel to State Route 55 (aka the Costa Mesa Freeway). This transition is accentuated by large flanking tracts of sparsely developed area occupied until recent years by agriculture and military airfields.
While there is a natural topographical Northeast-to-Southwest transition from inland elevations to the lower coastal band, there is no formal geographical division between North and South County. Perpendicular to that gradient, the Santa Ana River roughly divides the county between northwestern and southeastern sectors (about 40% to 60% respectively, by area), but does not represent any apparent economic, political or cultural differences, nor does it significantly affect distribution of travel, housing, commerce, industry or agriculture from one side to the other.

Presque Isle Army Airfield
Hangar 1 @ Presque Isle Army Airfield 1943
In 1941, the federal government appropriated the local airport, establishing Presque Isle Army Airfield for planes bound to and from Great Britain. Activated as an Army Air Corps military airfield on 15 September, Presque Isle became a vital air transport installation and the City found itself a busy war center.
North Atlantic Transport Route 1945
Together with Dow AAF in Bangor, the mission of Presque Isle was the delivery of Lend-Lease aircraft to the United Kingdom and as an Embarkation point for overseas movement of Army Air Forces personnel and equipment.
The first troops arrived in Presque Isle to start establishing the base on 15 September 1941. At that time, no military facilities existed and the men lived in tents and trailers.
The main Army Air Force unit at Presque Isle was the 23d AAF Ferrying Wing, assigned to the Air Transport Command. The unit was activated on 12 June 1942 and conducted aircraft ferrying to Europe and other transport operations. At the height of base activity during World War II, more aircraft flights flew from Presque Isle (via Greenland, Iceland or directly from Newfoundland) to Europe than from any other American base.
In July 1944, the mission of Presque Isle AAF was changed to that of a port of debarkation and caring for casualties from the front in France.
With the end of combat in Europe, beginning in June 1945, troops scheduled for redeployment from Europe to the South Pacific began arriving for training bases in the United States. With the end of the war in August 1945, this mission was terminated.
The aerial port at Presque Isle AAF was officially closed on 18 September and the airfield was de-activated on 20 September 1945 with the end of the war. The 716th Army Air Force Base Unit was assigned to the airfield with a mission of winterizing the buildings and storing equipment with the facility placed in reserve status, and was used as a communications facility.

BCPS addresses bus overcrowding and COVID safety concerns
Adjustments continue as students begin returning to school
BALTIMORE COUNTY, Md. — Just two days into the school year and Baltimore County Public Schools is addressing issues of bus overcrowding, lack of bus drivers and COVID cases.
WMAR-2 News obtained a letter sent out to Tuesday to members of the Dulaney High School community. The letter, dated August 31, states someone tested positive for COVID-19. The principal was made aware of the case on August 29th and that those who were in close contact with the individual are now in quarantine.
BCPS couldn't tell WMAR if the individual who tested positive was a student or staff member.
Over at Woodlawn High School, officials are dealing with positive COVID-19 cases among its student-athletes. Currently health officials are still in the process of finding out where the COVID-19 cases turned up, how many students tested positive and if there are more cases.
"Athletics, of course, is a concern. We have groups of students coming together and right now it's going through our typical protocol just to see where we can do the contact tracing in notifying, we always work with our health officials," Baltimore County Public Schools Superintendent Darryl Williams said Tuesday during a round table meeting with members of the media.
During Tuesday's media conversation, Williams also addressed the issue of a lack of bus drivers.
"We're still hiring and we're still adjusting," said Williams. "Yesterday bus drivers had to pick up additional routes."
Meanwhile, Michael Zarchin, the head of School Climate and Safety, said the district does have a plan to handle individual positive COVID-19 cases.
"They will look at every individual case, they will identify students who have tested positive, and they would go into isolation. Our nurses have been very good at identifying students who came into contact. A letter will go out that either says your child came into contact with someone who is tested positive or, we're sharing this information to let you know your child did not come into contact with someone who tested positive," Zarchin said.
And while students are away from campus, the school system said it has ways of making sure they don't miss out on instruction.
"For individual students, we work with individual schools to provide that continuity of learning. It will be a lot of work there on Schoology, a lot of the work will be through a virtual platform of some sort," Williams said.
If parents or guardians have a concern about safety issues, they are encouraged to call BCPS Administrative Offices.

Bronny James, LeBron's Son, Reportedly Enrolling In Private LA School
Josh Sanchez | Jun 12, 2018 7:00 am | Jan 9, 2019 5:56 am
YouTube/Overtime
Bronny James may just have tipped off his father's free agency decision. According to NBA legend Gary Payton, LeBron James' son has "committed" to enroll at Sierra Canyon (CA) School in Los Angeles next year. With the Los Angeles Lakers viewed as the favorite to land James during NBA free agency, this is something that certainly raises some eyebrows.
Payton made his comments in an interview with Sheena Marie of Black Sports Online.
"Anything could happen. People don't look at everything. [LeBron James'] son just committed to Sierra Canyon which is in the valley of LA," said Payton, as transcribed by ZagsBlog.com. "That's a move that they're going to make.
"If everybody looks at it with a son at that age, you don't want to be away from him during that period of time. During the time that we're having, basketball is school time. I think that [Bronny] needs a father during that time and that's it. I don't think LeBron is that type of parent, I think he wants to be around his son a lot and see his son play a lot."
If the news turns out to be true, Bronny would be joining a star-studded cast of young players at Sierra Canyon.
Currently enrolled at Sierra Canyon is five-star guard Cassius Stanley, son of longtime NBA and NFL sports agent Jerome Stanley. There are also two players who carry the names of their well-known fathers — Scottie Pippen Jr. and Kenyon Martin Jr.
It looks like little LeBron already has an eye for the superteam.
Of course, nothing is official at this point, and LeBron will likely keep any announcement under wraps as long as he can, but with the Vegas odds shifting towards the Lakers as the favorite to land his services, a nice mansion in Los Angeles, and reports that his son will be attending high school there, everything seems to be falling into place.

Sir Peter Davis launched social responsibility reporting UK website
Source: Business in the Comunity, 5 February 2002
Sir Peter Davis, the chairman of Business in the Community, launched of a new source of company information for City analysts, investors, consumers and other stakeholders.
The Impact on Society Reporting Website is a new online research tool for those interested in how businesses impact the communities in which they operate. For the first time, people are able to see a consistent framework for measuring, reporting and communicating business impacts.
Sir Peter launched the website at Business in the Communitys AGM, where he spoke alongside Director General of the CBI, Digby Jones and the Minister responsible for Corporate Social Responsibility, Douglas Alexander MP, to an audience of over 200 chairpersons, CEOs and senior business people.
The Minister responsible for Corporate Social Responsibility, Douglas Alexander MP, supported the initiative: "The Government believes that business has much to gain from communicating and benchmarking their social and environmental performance. This initiative marks an important first step for businesses to begin to measure how they contribute to local communities and social initiatives. It will allow them to improve their competitiveness and strengthen their reputation. It will provide a clear source of comparison of a company's
corporate social responsibility performance.
I welcome this move which will help to raise the awareness of the value that corporate social responsibility can deliver both to business and society alike."
The information available at www.bitc.org.uk/iosreporting represents a new way for businesses to report on their social and environmental performance. It is the first time a common set of indicators against which companies can be measured has been provided, offering insight into areas such as the environment, the workplace, the community in which the company operates, the marketplace and human rights. The information ranges from relatively easy-to-measure numeric data, such as water usage, through to more complex, often perception-based information, for example from employee surveys. The information is then summarised into clear company profiles and can be compared and contrasted according to a range of parameters, such as specific indicators or industry sectors.
The criteria against which companies measure and report the overall impact they have on society have been formulated following a report launched at the CBI conference in November 2000. As a result of the report, twenty companies formed the Business Impact Review Group, showing their commitment to begin the journey of measuring performance against these indicators over two years and agreeing to report the results through the website.
Ten of these twenty companies have data in place so far (although not all of the companies are reporting against all of the criteria yet) with the others due to upload information shortly. As these companies gather the full raft of information and other new companies begin to get involved over the next six months, the site will grow into an invaluable resource for anyone interested in researching this area.
At the AGM, Sir Peter Davis said: I congratulate all of the companies taking part and hope that by this time next year we may have seen the number of companies reporting their impact on the website more than doubled.

Red Sox Season Preview: Rotation
Ryan Hathaway
Boston Red Sox, Features, Headlines, Opinions & Predictions
For the first time since 2010, Jon Lester will not be the Opening Day starter for the Red Sox.
After trading him last July and failing to sign him in free agency, the team will need to look elsewhere to fill the void left by the two-time World Series champ.
But Lester is not the only pitcher the Red Sox have replaced. Four out of the five members of last year's rotation out of Spring Training are gone, with Clay Buchholz being the only holdover after John Lackey, Jake Peavy, and Felix Doubront were traded last season. Even the starters first chosen to replace these players are gone as Allen Webster, Rubby De La Rosa and Anthony Ranaudo were all shipped off this winter.
Joe Kelly joins Buchholz as the only 2014 starter who will be used in the 2015 rotation and joining these two are Rick Porcello, Wade Miley, and Justin Masterson. There is no clear cut "ace" among the bunch, but this year's Opening Day starter will likely come down to Buchholz or Porcello, who is coming off a career year with numbers that far outpace the rest of the Red Sox starters.
There is upside in the rest though as Kelly wowed in limited time in 2013, Masterson was the ace of the Indians for years, and Miley was the Rookie of the Year runner up in 2012. But there are also a lot of questions among this group and it remains to be seen if they can capitalize on their potential and succeed.
Continuing with our 2015 season preview for the Red Sox here is a look at what the rotation might look like and what we can expect from it.

Sivrihisar Grand Mosque () is a historical mosque in Sivrihisar, Turkey.

The mosque is located in Sivrihisar ilçe (district) of Eskişehir Province. It was built by Leşker Emir Celaleddin Ali in 1231–1232 during the reign of Anatolian Seljuk Sultan Kayqubad I (r. 1220–1237). It saw later two restorations, in 1275 by Eminüddin Mikail bin Abdullah, the regent of Kaykhusraw III (r. 1265–1284), and in 1440 by Hızır Bey, a judge in Sivrihisar and later the first judge in Istanbul. The mosque is a rare example of wooden-columned architectural technique in Anatolia together with four others.

The ground area of the mosque is . It has a rectangular plan. The outer walls are of ashlar. It has four entrances. Marble inscriptions showing the historical restoration dates are found on the northern and eastern gates. The roof is covered by tiles, which were replaced by lead sheet not long ago. The roof is carried by 67 wooden columns in the inside, of which upper parts are decorated by painted mostly in green, red and black colors engravings of traditional figures. Some columns stand on stone base having ancient column head. It is likely that the stone columns heads originate from Pessinus, an ancient city known as Ballıhisar today close to Sivrihisar. There are six naves in east-west direction. The middle naves are higher than the others resembling the historic Turkic tents used in the nomadic era the Central Asia. The mosque's minbar, the pulpit, is a masterwork made by Horasanlı İbni Mehmet in 1245, and is famous for its ornaments in geometrical and floral design engraved in walnut wood. It is believed that the minbar was brought here from the Sivrihisar Kılıç Masjid, which was demolished in 1924. The minaret was added by Osman oğlu Hacı Habib in 1409–1410 according to its inscription.

This site was added to the UNESCO World Heritage Tentative List on April 13, 2016 in the Cultural category.

Recent technical advances in the transportation sector, such as anti-lock braking systems, lane divergence sensors, and especially the evolution in dash camera technology, have focused not only on enhancing the overall driving experience but also on making our roads safer than ever before.
LAS VEGAS — What happens in Las Vegas is supposed to stay in Las Vegas, but that certainly not the case with Daimler Trucks' recently introduced Inspiration Truck. It's the autonomous commercial vehicle that has taken the world by storm. Literally. Daimler Trucks invited more than 200 journalists from four continents to cover the event, and stories have appeared in over 500 newspapers and on TV news shows all over the globe. Today's Trucking was there too, of course. And we had our chance to ride in the truck. We were not allowed to drive it at this event because it requires some driver certification, which there wasn't time to procure. We did come back from the launch event with this video of our test drive, with Equipment Editor Jim Park in the right-hand seat.
Detroit Assurance is the name of a new safety system from Daimler Trucks North America. It's designed to minimize the potential damage in a rear-end collision by slowing the truck before the crash occurs.
DALLAS, TX — Peterbilt showed off its take on autonomous vehicle technologies to reporters Friday during a Technology Showcase at the Texas Motor Speedway.
Bill Kahn, manager of advanced concepts at Peterbilt, doesn't really like to call the two demonstration vehicles "autonomous," although they would qualify as a Level 3 autonomous vehicle under U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration classifications. He characterizes the technology more as the "cruise control of the future" and a "stepping stone to autonomous vehicles." Peterbilt engineers have dubbed it "advanced driver assist systems." A bumper-mounted radar system, on one of the trucks, and a lidar camera on the other, are used to determine the distance from the truck to the vehicle or obstacle ahead of it. The lidar has the added advantage of not only being able to determine an obstacle ahead, but also a wider field of "view" and the ability to provide some data on the size and shape of whatever's there.
MIAMI, FL — It may sound like science fiction, but there is something you can't see that can help truck drivers avoid crashes and save fuel.
MIAMI – Detroit Assurance, Daimler Trucks North America's new active vehicle safety suite, made its real-world debut on Friday. The company hosted a ride-and-drive event in Miami after first announcing the system last month during the American Trucking Association's October Management Conference in San Diego.

Юрій Юрійович Сливка (26 березня 1930, Нове Давидково — 9 січня 2017) — український історик, доктор історичних наук, професор.

Біографія
Народився 26 березня 1930 року в селі Новому Давидковому (нині Мукачівського району Закарпатської області) у селянській родині. Його батько Юрій воював у складі Автро-Угорської армії на І Світовій війні, пройшов усю війну від Балкан до Галичини і аж до полонення під Вінницею. Звідти приніс розповіді про таких самих українців по той бік Карпат, які воювали як у складі цісарського, так і царського війська.

У 1938 році, коли відбувались події на Карпатській Україні, Юрій вже був у 2 класі народної школи. Село Нове Давидково розташоване на кордоні, яким після Віденського арбітражу була поділена територія Закарпаття. Згадував, що у селі в той час було велике скупчення прикордонників. Два старших брата Юрія на той час також служили в чехословацькій армії.

Проте найбільший вплив на малого Юрія справили карпатські січовики. У селі майже щодня відбувались концерти, вистави, вишколи відділу Карпатської Січі. Кожен день, за спогадами пана Юрія, був ніби святом для сільської дітвори. Проте за короткий проміжок часу все змінилось, прийшли мадярські жандарми, розпочались гоніння і репресії проти активних українців. У сусідній хаті жандарми облаштували тюремну камеру, де допитували полонених. Як пригадував Юрій Сливка, вже через півроку у їхньому селі перепочивав кавалерійський відділ війська польського, яке після нападу СССР і Німеччини на Польщу групами відступало до Румунії. В час ІІ Світової війни через їхнє село переходили частини вермахту, угорські відділи, які рухались на фронт, на схід. Вже через три роки ті ж частини відступали на захід. Наприкінці 1944 року прийшла радянська влада.

Після німецько-радянської війни навчався в Мукачівському кооперативному технікумі. У 1948–1953 роках навчався на історичному факультеті Ужгородського університету. Після завершення працював директором сільської школи. Невдовзі поступив до Львівського інституту суспільних наук, де працював аспірантом під керівництвом академіка Івана Крип'якевича, згодом завідував відділом.

Був професором Львівської державної фінансової академії, завідувачем кафедри соціальних і гуманітарних дисциплін. Помер на 87-му році життя під час поїздки до Києва 9 січня 2017 року.

Як історик досліджував визвольний рух на Закарпатті й на східній Галичині у 20-30 рр. ХХ ст.
