Detail from Abbas Kiarostami's cover for I've Got Something to Say That Only You Children Would Believe (1969)
The image at the top of the page is a detail from the cover of a book designed by Abbas Kiarostami, I've Got Something to Say That Only You Children Would Believe (1969), written by poet and author Ahmad Reza Ahmadi. Like Satyajit Ray, Kiarostami was a graphic designer before he became a filmmaker. Ehsan Khoshbakht, a filmmaker himself—his fascinating documentary Filmfarsi rescues the memory of an Iranian film industry that thrived before the 1979 Revolution—points us to a freely downloadable copy of I've Got Something to Say. "Combining photography, graphic arts, and painting," some of the illustrations here "prefigure Kiarostami's future films from Colors (1976) to 24 Frames (2017)," suggests Khoshbakht.
Jonathan Rosenbaum's 2017 review of Mathew Abbott's Abbas Kiarostami and Film-Philosophy for Sight & Sound, previously unavailable online, is essentially a recommendation, although he does warn that "for readers more accustomed to journalistic paraphrase than to the rigors of scholarly hair-splitting and jargony word-spinning, a bumpy ride is in store." Rosenbaum has more engaging in a piece at the Chiseler in which he writes about the role of cinema in the novels of Thomas Pynchon. The Crying of Lot 49 (1966) and Gravity's Rainbow (1973) in particular are works that define "cinema as the cultural air that everyone breathes." Rosenbaum adds that "cinema is invariably a form of lingua franca in Pynchon's fiction, an expedient form of shorthand, calling up common experiences that seem light years away from the sectarianism of the politique des auteurs."
Their Own Stories
Since last month's roundup of notes on new and noteworthy books, one of the biggest stories in publishing has been the rocky rollout of Woody Allen's autobiography, Apropos of Nothing. To recap briefly, when Hachette announced on March 2 that it would be publishing the book, the decision was immediately condemned by Mia Farrow's adopted daughter, Dylan, who claims to have been sexually assaulted by Allen when she was seven, and by Ronan Farrow, son of Mia and Woody and the author of Catch and Kill, a chronicle of his reporting on Harvey Weinstein that was published last fall—by Hachette. Ronan Farrow declared that he would never work with Hachette again and around seventy-five Hachette employees staged a walk-out protest. On March 5, Hachette announced that it would not publish Allen's book, and this decision was, in turn, severely criticized by many, including Stephen King and PEN America. Arcade Publishing stepped in and published Apropos of Nothing on March 23.
Reviewers are now approaching the book with varying degrees of trepidation. "Agreeing to write this review felt like signing up for a lifetime of social distancing," begins Peter Biskind in the Los Angeles Times. When Dwight Garner told his wife and daughter that he'd be taking the book on for the New York Times, "they stared at me as if I'd announced my intention to find the nearest functioning salad bar and lick the sneeze guard." Jonathan Kirshner, on the other hand, has greeted Apropos with "enormous, eager anticipation" and reports that it's "a book essentially of four parts, which are in turn good, great, requisite but grueling, and satisfactory." After describing his childhood in what Sam Wasson describes at Air Mail as "Dickensian detail," Allen turns to his career as a writer for television, a stand-up comic, and of course, as a filmmaker. "Those looking for insight into the mind of the artist or illuminating anecdotage from the sets of his best movies will be better served by Eric Lax's biography," suggests Wasson.
The third section addresses the scandal. "These episodes are of an extravagant awfulness, giving Apropos of Nothing a shocking, lurid power," writes Chuck Bowen at Slant. "Given this context, Allen's bitterness is more than understandable, but it has curdled his empathy." Allen then wraps by returning to his movies, and many reviewers find his own rankings puzzling. Kirshner notes that Allen is "not much impressed with Annie Hall, but loves Hollywood Ending." Few would disagree with Garner's overall assessment: "Like many of our fathers and grandfathers, Allen is a twentieth-century man in a twenty-first-century world."
On to lighter fare. Miranda July, a chronological retrospective celebrating the multidisciplinary artist, "offers up a kinetic survey of work, hop-scotching from age eighteen to the present with archival tidbits and commentary led by peers and collaborators from Lena Dunham and Carrie Brownstein to Spike Jonze and David Byrne," writes Anna Cofolla, introducing her interview with July for AnOther Magazine. The conversation touches on her debut feature, Me and You and Everyone We Know (2005), which we'll be releasing next week; her most recent feature, Kajillionaire; the Covid International Arts Festival that July has been running on Instagram; and her short stories, performances, and apps. "This book makes concrete my life and work that no other institution is going to do for me, because I haven't played by the rules that earn you that," says July.
John Boorman's Adventures of a Suburban Boy, published in 2003, is a "linear account of his directorial career that included not only his notable successes but the box-office catastrophe Exorcist II (1977)," writes Sukhdev Sandhu for the Guardian. Conclusions, the new memoir, "is more fragmented, a commonplace book that includes advice for budding screenwriters; tributes to the BBC where, as a young documentarian, he was given freedom to experiment and to 'paint with light'; and fond recollections of the characters he has encountered in his years living in Ireland . . . The chapters teem with gossipy though never mean anecdotes."
Literary Hub has posted an excerpt from Barry Sonnenfeld, Call Your Mother: Memoirs of a Neurotic Filmmaker, in which the cinematographer-turned-director recalls his first day at work: "Joel and Ethan Coen and I had never been on a film set before our first day on Blood Simple. I had never been a cameraman on a feature, nor worked in the camera department of a real movie in any capacity. Joel had never directed anything outside of student films and home movies, and Ethan had never produced. We simply declared ourselves filmmakers."
Anyone looking for more Hollywood autobiographies should turn to Peter Bradshaw's ranked and amusingly annotated list of the top twenty-five "most compelling" for the Guardian. And yes, Mia Farrow's What Falls Away (1997) is on it, coming in at #19. Topping the list is David Niven's "addictive and unmissable" The Moon's a Balloon (1971).
Career Assessments
For Hyperallergic, Ela Bittencourt reviews Michael Snow, a collection of essays edited by the late Annette Michelson, whose own contributions are "the most illuminating," and the poet Kenneth White. "The book situates Snow within the context of 1960s avant-garde sculpture and painting, whose primary practitioners were, like him, preoccupied with perception and framing," notes Bittencourt. Proceeding chronologically, contributors then "investigate Snow's break with notions of causality, his use of fragmentation in photography, and the role that new technologies, such as CGI, play in his later films."
Critic and programmer Chris Fujiwara recently delivered a master class on Jacques Tourneur at the film festival hosted by the National Autonomous University of Mexico, and Eric Ortiz Garcia took the opportunity to talk with him about his 1998 book Jacques Tourneur: The Cinema of Nightfall for ScreenAnarchy. The French director best known for his work with producer and screenwriter Val Lewton (Cat People, I Walked with a Zombie, The Leopard Man) but also for Out of the Past, the 1947 noir starring Robert Mitchum, "believed that there were parallel worlds," says Fujiwara. "Tourneur thought that the past still existed on a parallel plane and that the future also existed on another parallel plane, and that it was possible from time to time for us to have access to this other worlds. I think some his films, especially Night of the Demon, are realizations of this kind of conception."
Novelist and literary critic Adam Mars-Jones was the first movie reviewer for the Independent and has since written about cinema for the Guardian, the TLS, and the London Review of Books. Second Sight: The Selected Film Writing of Adam Mars-Jones is "a worthwhile selection of accomplished, if uneven, articles and reviews," finds Jeremy Carr in Film International.
Editor and animator Graham Daseler reviews three books for the TLS—Patrick Keating's The Dynamic Frame: Camera Movement in Classical Hollywood, Gilberto Perez's The Eloquent Screen: A Rhetoric of Film, and Robert B. Pippin's Filmed Thought: Cinema as Reflective Form—and he has a clear favorite. "Keating, unlike many movie theorists, is just as well versed in film technology as he is in film technique, and one of the strengths of his book is that it is able to zoom in on specific filmmaking tools—dollies, deep-focus photography, CinemaScope—to show how they shaped cinematic storytelling," he writes. "Cinema, more than any other art form—more even than modern music—is an art of technology, and since the technology is always changing, so too is the art."
Having completed his translation of Luc Moullet's 2009 collection Piges Choisies, Srikanth Srinivasan now turns to Politique des Acteurs, which was published in 1993 and gathered Moullet's essays on Gary Cooper, John Wayne, Cary Grant, and James Stewart. "In short," writes Moullet in the foreword, "what counts in the evaluation of a director is the artistic value of his films, and what essentially counts in the evaluation of an actor is the commercial value of products bearing his name." Which is why "great actors of international renown are more cursed than supporting actors. The attraction they exert is based, most of all, on wrong reasons."
Gregory Zinman's Making Images Move: Handmade Cinema and the Other Arts is "formidable historiography," writes Chuck Stephens in the latest issue of Cinema Scope. "Ten minutes after picking up the book I was noting the names of artists and filmmakers whose work I'd yet to explore, setting the book briefly aside to search for titles on Vimeo and discovering, for example, the 'handmade Rorschach test' abstractions of Josh Lewis's Doubt films, and feeling cinema expand once again, page by fascinating page."
Christina Newland, who has edited the just-published anthology She Found it at the Movies: Women Writers on Sex, Desire, and Cinema, has written an essay for Sight & Sound that could well serve as an opening argument for the book. "Confronted by an industry and an art form that has long excluded women's perspectives," she writes, "when we share our most deeply individual impressions, it puts us back where we belong: into the narrative of film culture."
Still on the Table
Some books warrant discussing for months on end. We've made several mentions in these roundups of Chantal Akerman's memoir, My Mother Laughs—translated in the UK by Daniella Shreir for the Silver Press and in the U.S. by Corina Copp for the Song Cave—and Daniel Fraser's piece for the Los Angeles Review of Books warrants another. He finds Shreir's translation "more effective, though, given the combination of syntactic eccentricity and lexical simplicity of Akerman's writing, it is more a question of tone, tense, and cumulative effect than individual word choice." Ultimately, "what makes the book one of the most interesting and vital works of literary nonfiction of recent years is a startling reciprocity of content and form that faces the paradox of illness and death presented by the loss of our most beloved, refusing both to simply take refuge in any restorative meaning or merely drowning in its void."
It's been nearly a year since NYRB Classics reissued Picture, Lillian Ross's account of the making of John Huston's The Red Badge of Courage (1951), and Max Nelson, writing for the Nation, is the latest to recommend it. What Huston's "wrecked production gave Ross was a tour through the film industry's levels of influence and power: directors, editors, composers, actors and extras, producers and studio executives, countless peripheral hangers-on," he writes. "She lingers over what they say and refuse to say. Unlike Come In, Lassie! (1948), Ross's earlier report from Hollywood, Picture never mentions [the House Un-American Activities Committee] by name, but its background presence fills the book. It was as if Ross wanted to trace the unarticulated, invisible ways in which the investigations shaped a generation's creative and professional compromises."
Huston played what essentially amounted to a stand-in for Orson Welles in the latter's The Other Side of the Wind, which finally premiered, reconstructed and restored, in 2018, nearly half a century after Welles began shooting it in 1970. Reviewing Marching Song, a play about abolitionist John Brown that seventeen-year-old Welles cowrote with his teacher and mentor Roger Hill, Matthew Asprey Gear, writing at Wellesnet, notes that Welles has been "dead for thirty-five years, but we're still catching up with his oceanically ambitious—albeit frequently frustrated—creative life." The rediscovered Marching Song was published last summer in what Glenn Kenny calls "a splendid, illuminating edition edited by Todd Tarbox," and it's a work that "that fully acknowledges Brown's fanaticism but also is pretty blunt in its position that extremism in defense of liberty is at most a minor vice."
Film Comment has posted an excerpt from the first volume of the late Jonas Mekas's I Seem to Live. The New York Diaries, 1950–2011, which gathers entries from Mekas's first two decades in the U.S. after arriving from war-torn Europe. As Nolan Kelly writes at Hyperallergic, the story that plays out is Mekas's "gradual emplacement, from the social margins of a Williamsburg enclave to the center of an American avant-garde he helped engender. But the tone of the entries, counterbalancing these triumphs, is doubt; for these decades Mekas was constantly questioning his devotion to his perennially endangered and bankrupt projects—the American Film House, which would become Anthology, and Film Culture, a magazine he started with Adolfas that revolutionized an understanding of experimental cinema in the United States."
The Earth Dies Streaming is a collection of writing on film, most of it for n+1, by A. S. Hamrah that came out at the end of 2018. The book serves as a jumping-off point for two recent interviews with the Baffler's new film critic. Riley Mang's conversation with Hamrah took place in early February, so their voices sound at times as if they're echoing from a distant and forgotten world, but Hamrah's account of growing up as a budding cinephile—he'd watch films by Stan Brakhage and Kenneth Anger on weekday mornings before running off to catch the school bus—would be engaging in any era. And scanning sets of data generated by 208,000 reviews by professional critics and 10.7 million user reviews pulled from Rotten Tomatoes, Andrew Thompson and Kyle Paoletta get Hamrah talking about what he sees as the strengths and weaknesses of such high-profile critics as Roger Ebert, Manohla Dargis, A. O. Scott, Richard Brody, and Anthony Lane.
For many, many more notes on new books, turn to the outstanding roundup that Ruben Demasure has put together for Sabzian. Here, we'll wrap with a tip. The catalogue for Defiant Muses: Delphine Seyrig and the Feminist Video Collectives in France in the 1970s and 1980s, a recent exhibition at the Museo Reina Sofía in Madrid, is now freely available to download.

Dave Chappelle regrets not responding to Bob Saget's last text
Dave Chappelle said he never responded to Bob Saget's final text to him during a stand-up set Thursday night.
Chappelle was performing at the Peppermint Club in West Hollywood when he brought up Saget's death.
"Tomorrow, I'm going to go and lay my comrade to rest. Listen, I'm getting old. At my age, a lot of people I know die because I started doing comedy young; all my peers are older than me. These n—-s are dying like hotcakes," he began.
"I didn't see Bob coming," Chappelle added. "Man, he just texted me, and I saw the text yesterday, and I never texted him back 'cause I was just busy."
Dave Chappelle revealed he never responded to Bob Saget's last text.
"It happens," Chappelle continued. "I'm just saying this to remind you: These moments are precious. When I come out at night, I'm not just hanging out. I'm making memories. S–t, when I go out at night, I'm making history."
The beloved actor-comedian, known for his longtime television role as Danny Tanner on "Full House" and as the former host of "America's Funniest Home Videos," was found dead on Sunday in his hotel room in Orlando, Florida. He was 65.
Deputies in Orange County were called that night about an "unresponsive man" in a hotel room at the Ritz-Carlton in Orlando and found Saget dead, according to a sheriff's statement on Twitter. Detectives found "no signs of foul play or drug use in this case."

Saget's wife, Kelly Rizzo, released her own statement regarding his death on Monday.
"My whole heart. Bob was my absolute everything," she said. "I am so completely shattered and in disbelief. I am so deeply touched by the outpouring of love and tribute from our friends, family, his fans and his peers.
"When the time is right and when this news is not as raw, I look forward to sharing more of Bob with the world. Sharing how much he meant to me, all of those around him, and how much all of his fans and friends meant to him as well," the statement continued. "Thank you for respecting my privacy at this time."
Saget is survived by his wife Kelly Rizzo and three adult daughters from his previous marriage. (Michael Tran/FilmMagic)
Saget is survived by his wife and three adult daughters with first wife Sherri Kramer — Aubrey, Lara and Jennifer. Saget and Kramer divorced in 1997.

USC Olympian & NCAA champion swimmer Rich McGeagh dies of COVID-19 complications
LOS ANGELES - Rich McGeagh, a 1964 Olympian and NCAA swim champion at USC, has died of COVID-19 complications, the university announced.
McGeagh, who was 77, died Thursday in Hermitage, Tennessee.
A longtime resident of La Crescenta who worked as a real estate appraiser, he relocated to Mt. Juliet, Tennessee, eight years ago.
McGeagh came to USC from Hoover High in Glendale. He was a three-time (1964-66) All-American at USC on teams that won the NCAA championship each year. As a sophomore in 1964, he won the NCAA 400-yard individual medley in 4:16.4. He also won four conference titles (two individual, two relay) in his Trojan career.
At the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, he swam the opening backstroke leg of the 400-meter medley relay for the U.S. in the preliminary heats, but did not swim in the final that the Americans won. Under Olympic swimming rules at the time, only those who competed in the final were eligible for medals.
In 1963, he helped the U.S. 400-meter medley relay team set a long course world record of 4:00.1 while swimming the opening backstroke leg in a meet in Osaka, Japan. He also won a gold medal at the 1963 Pan Am Games in Sao Paolo, Brazil.
McGeagh is survived by his wife of 55 years, Barbara, his son, Michael, daughter, Karin, and several grandchildren.


One of the foremost challenges holding back African development is a lack of access to electricity. While the African Union 2063 Agenda stresses that energy is the key to economic growth, only 30% of Africans are currently connected to the grid.
However, it is important that Kenya and other African countries not choose to expand access to electricity in an unsustainable way. Luckily, Kenya's natural abundance in solar, hydro, wind, biomass and geothermal resources, means the country boasts of many alternatives to fossil fuels. By tapping into these renewable energy sources, Kenya can simultaneously mitigate climate change, boost economic growth through "green" job creation, and reduce povertythrough all of the benefits that access to electricity brings.
The Kenyan government has taken note of this and begun to incorporate expansion of renewable energy into its policies. In addition to partaking in international agreements- such as committing to the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the 2015 Paris Agreement-, policies such as Energy Act 2006 stressed finding reliable, and cost-effective energy while also protecting the environment.
However, there are still gaps and loopholes that need to be closed. In particular, current legislation regarding biofuels and alternative heating sources has been found to be either unclear or nonexistent. This lack of detailed policy presents a great barrier to the expansion of the renewable energy sector.
To address these gaps, Kenya Climate Innovation Center (KCIC) along with German political foundation Friedrich Ebert Stiftunghave decided to organize a meeting called Renewable Energy Policy Dialogue: Shaping the Green Growth Agenda.It will be held at the Hilton Hotel in Nairobi on Thursday, 20 September.
Discuss the existing policy, institutional and legislative framework that affects the biofuels sector.
The day will consist of panel discussions in addition to a presentation of a research paper on Just Energy Transition in Kenya by Friedrich Ebert Stiftung. Panelists will include Edward Mungai, CEO of KCIC, representatives from HIVOSand the Ministry of Energy, and PACJA, amongst others.
Private sector innovation in climate change technologies is the first step in ensuring a more sustainable future. However, such innovations can only go so far if there is not an enabling political environment to back it.


punk night Vancouver's Sore Points are set to kick off Whistler's first Punk Night of the year.
Here's a disclaimer to the crowd at the first monthly Punk Night at Garfinkel's on Sunday, Jan. 6—you're not seeing double.
Shane Grass is set to kick off the evening with his band Sore Points before returning to the stage with the Ramores, a Ramones tribute band.
"Both bands share two members," he says. "We've never played on the same bill before. Both are pretty physically demanding, so it'll be interesting. Sore Points will start and we'll end with Ramores. For a party, a lot of people know the Ramones songs. A few drinks later into the night, it'll be fun."
Joey Blitzkrieg from the old-school Vancouver punk band The Jolts first started The Ramores back in 1999. Over the years, several musicians have cycled through the lineup with the band playing sporadically, largely for special occasions.
"The Ramores is a really fun band to be in," Grass says. "We try to do everything we can (as close to) how the Ramones played live. The stage banter is the same, or similar, and we dress the part. We play the same kind of gear. It's a lot of fun. It's a bit of a challenge; people don't realize how hard those songs are to play."
To that end, honing their chops playing those well-loved punk songs has helped the band members in their various musical pursuits. "You can hear it in Sore Points a lot too," Grass says. "We have spent a lot of time learning the ins and outs of so many Ramones' songs. I don't think any of us are getting tired of those songs. They're such good songs."
While The Ramores only play the occasional gig, Sore Points have been busy over the last three years writing, recording and touring. "We set out to do more of a traditional-sounding band," Grass says. "It's stripped down and a throwback. I feel like we're doing it in a modern kind of way."
Last year, they released their first full-length, self-titled album with plans for more gritty, raw recordings underway. The songs have been flowing thanks, in part, to their collaborative approach, Grass says.
They plan to put out a seven-inch in the summer and tour with The Spits, one of their favourite bands, in May.
"We like to keep writing new material all the time," he says. "We don't put out half of what we write. A lot we end up scrapping ... It's a very collaborative effort with this band. With other bands it's very common for there to be a sole songwriter. We're not afraid to be brutally honest with each other saying, 'That's not working, no offence taken.'"
While the trio—which, alongside Grass as the frontman and bassist, includes drummer Trevor Racz and guitarist Mitch Allen—might be comprised of seasoned Vancouver musicians, they don't have much experience with Whistler crowds—yet.
For his part, Grass says other musicians have told him whether or not the crowds show up, he's sure to have crazy time. "I don't really know what to expect," he says. "I've never played there. I've only been up there a couple times in the last few years. I'm guessing it'll be great."
The first in a series of monthly Punk Nights starts on Sunday, Jan. 6 at 9 p.m. It's hosted by Vinyl Ritchie and admission will be free.

Objectives. - The primary objective of the present study was to describe the characteristics of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) linked to self-medication that were notified to the French Pharmacovigilance Database (FPVD) during the COVID-19 outbreak in 2020 first wave. The secondary objective was to compare the characteristics of these ADRs in 2020 with those notified during the same calendar period a year previously. Material and methods. - We analyzed ADRs recorded in the FPVD between March 15th and May 31st, 2020 vs. the same dates in 2019. Only ADRs linked to self-medication were analyzed. Descriptive statistics were used to obtain an overview of the types and characteristics of these ADRs. Results. - Of 3114 ADRs notified to the FPVD during the COVID-19 period in 2020, 114 (3.7%) were linked to self-medication. The equivalent proportion in 2019 was 1.6% (113 out of 7097). Half of the ADRs notified in 2020 were ``serious''. The median age of affected patients was 30.5, and 22% of the ADRs concerned children. Of the 114 ADRs linked to self-medication, 107 (66%) were for prescription-only drugs. The three mostly frequently suspected ATC classes were analgesics, psycholeptics, and antibacterials for systemic use. The most frequent ADRs were general disorders, gastrointestinal disorders, and nervous system disorders. The main difference between the non-COVID-19 period and the COVID-19 period was the higher proportion of medication errors during the latter. Conclusion. - The present study is the first to have reported on ADRs linked to self-medication and notified during a COVID-19 outbreak. Further studies of self-medication patterns and their consequences in a pandemic context are mandatory and effective information on medication use (including self-medication and its dangers) during a pandemic is essential.

March 22, 2012 <March 22, 2012
New Delhi/Geneva : India Thursday voted for a US-backed resolution urging Sri Lanka to probe rights abuses in the war on the Tamil Tigers, but quickly emphasized that Colombo's sovereignty must be respected.
After joining 23 other countries to vote against Colombo at the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) in Geneva, India underlined its "strong ties" with Sri Lanka.
Sri Lanka expressed outrage after the resolution won majority support despite its war-footing diplomatic campaign but emphasized that its "friendly ties" with India and the US would not change.
The UNHRC adopted the resolution with 24 votes in favour, 15 against and eight abstentions.
The motion called on Colombo to address abuses of humanitarian law during the climactic phase of the war that crushed the Tamil Tigers in May 2009, ending 26 years of civil war.
China and Russia rallied behind Sri Lanka in Geneva.
Ahead of the voting, Sri Lanka pressed India to review its stand after Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, under pressure from the DMK, announced that his government was inclined to vote for the resolution.
"We have such a strong relationship that we can't regress from it. There will be no rollback of the relationship," an informed source said.
Soon after the voting, the Indian foreign ministry put out a detailed note which placed its contentious decision in perspective.
The ministry stressed that "resolutions of this nature should fully respect the sovereign rights of states and contribute to Sri Lanka's own efforts in this regard".
It pointed out that with thousands of years of cordial relations and deep rooted spiritual and cultural ties, India can't cannot remain untouched by developments in the neighbouring country.
"We will continue to remain engaged with Sri Lanka to take forward the process of reconciliation to secure for all its citizens a future marked by equality, dignity, justice and self-respect," the ministry said in New Delhi.
Reminding Colombo to implement the recommendations of Sri Lanka's Lessons Learnt and Reconciliation Commission (LLRC) report, India said "there is a window of opportunity to forge a consensual way forward towards reconciliation through a political settlement respecting all ethnic and religious groups inhabiting the nation".
India stressed that the LLRC report recognises that "a political solution is imperative and that the government of Sri Lanka should provide the leadership to this political process".
"We are confident that implementation of the report will foster genuine reconciliation," the ministry said.
"We voted for the resolution because we want Sri Lanka to implement the recommendations of the LLRC in a credible and time-bound manner," said the source.
India urged Sri Lanka to take forward the process of broader dialogue and show concrete movement towards a meaningful devolution of powers to the provinces.
Sri Lanka, it said, should go for the implementation of the 13th amendment of the constitution and beyond.
"We would urge that Sri Lanka takes forward measures for accountability and to promote human rights that it has committed to," added the ministry.
"It is these steps … which would bring about genuine reconciliation between all communities of Sri Lanka, including the Tamil community," said the ministry.
Sri Lanka was upset by India's vote but sought to play it down.
In Colombo, Acting Media Minister Laksman Yapa Abeywardena said India's internal political situation had pushed New Delhi to vote in favour of the US-sponsored resolution, Xinhua reported.
"Sri Lanka's ties with India will not be affected over the decision it has taken," Abeywardena said.
"India's ruling party has lost some of the big states in elections and all the parties in Tamil Nadu have gathered together to pressure the central government to support the resolution," Abeywardena added.

The key to a successful website is navigation. In order to achieve this success you must make sure that your website is very simple and easy to use. In fact the more 'idiot proof' it may be, the more likely the websites rankings and traffic will improve.
A logical mind is what will aid this navigation in order to earn success. Without clear and logical steps, the website won't be user friendly and will therefore become a waste of time. So, what do you need on the homepage?
Well, this is essential for first time or returning viewers to your website. Everything that the visitor needs to see or could possibly be looking for should be shown all above the fold. You must have clear icons explaining what the company does; this is always important as it has been shown that virtually every visitor will always look for this and read it. You must have contact details available, whether online chat, email address or telephone number; if all are clearly displayed you will have more chance in maintaining a successful site.
It all depends on what sort of website you have. For an ecommerce site, it is absolutely vital that it is easy to use. All instruction should be clearly stated right from the word go. You must make sure that buyers can clearly 'add to basket', press pay and have no worries in entering card details, by offering paypal services and other means of payment will also be beneficial.
Now navigation to all products or ideas on your website must be very easy to get too. You need a list of all key products that the visitor can see and select, there then must be a filtering list that is of course very easy to use.
It is useful to allow for previous visitors who may have made an account on your website, to access it straight away with just one click. It is also handy to promote any delivery services or special offers.
Now for non-ecommerce sites, it is still all very similar. Everything must be easily navigated with relevant links and relation to each page. All basic areas such as 'about', 'contact', 'account' etc. must be written clearly on the top underneath the H1 tag so that it is clear and concise.


Since about ten years I made several visits to Thailand (Bkk, Ptya and CM), commonly in combination with visits to Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Malaysia, Myanmar or Indonesia. Several years I got the necessary information from sites like Dreadednet and Nicky. Now I'm reading this forum about two years and it gives me a lot of useful information, mainly because members report from their own experience. Next November I will come to Thailand again for three weeks, then I hope to meet some members. And at least I will use what I have read here. I'm from the Netherlands. I like to read this forum almost every day.
Last time I was in Pattaya, I used a taxi from the Copa hotel where I stayed. We left in time, five o'clock. The driver drove in a safe way. The only problem we had was a flat tyre in the middle of the highway and the car didn't have the good equipment to repair, but nevertheless the driver managed to repair it. We were in time at the airport !
Wish you and other members a most happy new year !

What to Know About Video Production in a Post-Covid World?
Home Digital Talk Video Production What to Know About Video Production in a Post-Covid World?
It's hard to imagine that there have been many industries that have remained unaffected by the Covid-19 virus. Video production is no exception to the rule. When the world flipped on its head in 2020, everyone began to look to the future to attain a sense of normalcy.
Even in this article, we will try to use our crystal ball and peer into the near future. A post-covid world will soon be upon us as soon as the vaccines take control. Once that happens, the world of video production will be back in full swing again. Will things stay the same, though? We answer this question and a lot more as we dig into the world of video production and what we can expect in a post-covid world.
Crafted can help with all your video production requirements.
Being able to tell your own brand story to help gain new customers or continue inspiring existing customers, content production and brand storytelling has become a critical component during these harsh times and remains one of our differentiating core services at Crafted. Give us a call today to discuss how and why we feel Video Production is key in this post Covid market.
The reliance on footage
Unfortunately for the video production industry, the biggest resource in use to being video production in the first place is live footage. There was, of course, no live footage available because there was not much movement on the streets and in studios during 2020. A vast majority of production houses have had to remain at a standstill because of the fear of the covid. Putting together a large cast and crew was no longer possible in the past year, and this put a severe and debilitating hold on the video production process.
While a small number of production houses have begun shooting again, and the film-making process has slowly moved its way back to normalcy, things are still nowhere near square one. To respond to this, video production houses have had to get creative in their endeavors to secure raw footage.
Using talking heads
Documenting the events of the virus and all the madness that unfolded across the past year was one of the major themes of video production around the world. While it wasn't always possible to interview people in person, the "talking head" interview began a new phenomenon that was utilized heavily this past year.
Individuals, businesses, politicians, and corporate representatives from around the world were seen in this "talking head" form. They managed to deliver important news and start a dialogue regarding the virus using this medium.
Editing video calls
The smartphone became the top medium of communication in 2020 as many zoom calls and video calls were utilized heavily to stitch together a narrative for productions.
Even smartphone cameras were seen as the new video camera, with amateur footage forming the crux of numerous important narratives during 2020.
Zoom conference calls were conducted by almost every company from around the world. The events of these conferences were later edited into presentations so that many employees could catch up with the important details.
Using stock footage
The world of advertising can never come to a stand-still, especially when you consider the number of companies that continue to spend heavily on their marketing budget. To match the need of the hour, marketing firms and advertising agencies had to rely on the stock footage available on various sites to stitch together a new concept.
The shooting schedules were kept to a minimum, and a vast majority of advertising executives had to get creative with their concepts to engage with their viewers. We can expect the stock footage industry to continue booming right until the end of the covid situation.
Green screens and digital worlds
As the idea of outdoor shoots had to come crashing down in the post-covid world, the use of green screens became more important than ever. The technology associated with green screens became invaluable during this period.
It isn't easy to create a visual narrative when you're limited to shooting within a studio. Green screens, however, help to radically expand the scope of the narrative by offering immense space for creativity. We see a vast majority of DC and Marvel films being produced in the green screen studios. When such large budget endeavors that span several worlds and dimensions can rely on this technology to create compelling narratives, we can certainly use this tech for anything else.
The concept of creating digital sets has also been on the rise in the recent past. We see these sets in use in various popular shows such as Disney's "The Mandalorian." They allow production houses to create realistic sets within a studio and utilize technology to create elaborate worlds behind these sets.
Thanks to this technology, the realism that's seen on large budget productions have been boosted substantially as well. We can tell just by watching a show such as "The Mandalorian" that the realism in such productions is far better than green screens.
This is indeed a fascinating turn of events as it greatly improves the scope and scale of productions going forward. Regardless of how long the Covid situation will take to sort itself out, video production does not necessarily have to come to a standstill now. We can continue to rely on technology to make things a lot more accessible in the future.
We may have to take some time before we get back to the world of large-budget productions filled with hundreds of actors on set. This, however, does not mean that we have to give up on creativity and video production altogether. We still have had plenty of content being released across the year.
The number of amateur productions has certainly been on the rise, but even big names haven't stepped out of the ring. Instead, they have looked to innovate and create new methods of producing stories and content for the audience.

Mexican American War Essay
Mexico in nineteenth-century faced many internal struggles that formed chaos in the new nation this greatly influenced the outcome of the Mexican-American War. After the colonization law of 1824, Mexico City had paid little attention to its northern provinces, finding plenty of issues much closer to central Mexico to stir their political passions and command their full attention. A series of events in Texas, however, soon converted the state into nothing less than a national obsession, and that obsession goes far toward explaining the course and failure of the Mexican-American War.
Mexico from the outset of settling Texas had fears regarding the intentions of the Anglo-Americans toward Texas. Their fears were confirmed at the of 1826 when a empresario named Haden Edwards had launched a rebellion aimed at detaching Texas from the Mexican Republic. Edwards, in alliance with Cherokee Indians who at least momentarily shared Edwards resentment of Mexican authorities, planned to call the new nation the Republic of the Red and White People or, alternatively, the Republic of Fredonia. The rebellion was soon put down when a detachment of Mexican soldiers arrived from San Antonio, supported by another contingent from Stephen F. Austin's colony. Short-lived though it was, the Fredonian Revolt marked the beginnings of the problems with Texas.
This revolt led to the appropriation of funds in 1827 for a Boundary Commission to be sent to assess the problems in Texas. Chosen to lead this expedition was General Manuel de Mier y Teran. The Boundary Commission left Mexico City on November 10, 1827. They were to evaluate the number and kinds of troops needed to defend the region, and recommend measures that ensured Mexico's continued possession of Texas. During the Boundary Commission's brief existence, Mexico had three distinct governments. The commission was established by the republican government of Guadalupe Victoria; it was carried out by the liberal regime of Vicente Guerrero; and it submitted its findings to a third government, the highly conservative and centralist regime of Anastasio Bustamante. Vicente Guerrero, who assumed office in early 1829, was a man of mixed race and a hero to the poor. He was regarded by many Mexicans as illegitimate due to his ethnicity and because he had seized power after losing the presidential election. Guerrero's administration had very radical implications: his government promulgated a law expelling Spaniards from the country; he also reformed the tax system, shifting heaviest burden on foreigners, and the rich. This infuriated conservatives and instigated staunch protest. His regime also experienced the Spanish government attempt to reconquest Mexico. The Spanish forces came ashore on a beach near the port of Tampico in late July 1829. The Mexicans prevailed thanks to the leadership of Generals Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna and Manuel de Mier y Teran. President Guerrero who's political career was under much scrutiny...

The U.S. Constitution's protections for free exercise of religion and freedoms of speech and assembly, and its prohibition on religious establishment, must be enforced by religious institutions and other persons interested in religious rights if they are to continue to have vigor. The same goes for civil rights of both constitutional and statutory origin. Yet houses of worship and persons of faith may also find themselves defending claims that their religiously-motivated practices offend the civil rights of others. Even with the additional protections established in federal and state legislation, such as RFRA and RLUIPA, awareness and vigilance are important for religious institutions and practitioners.

Cherry Creek School District > District News > SHHS Buffaloes make Bronco dreams come true
SHHS Buffaloes make Bronco dreams come true
11-year-old Eric was a little shy when he stood in front of some 2,000 students and staff members packed into the Smoky Hill High School gym on Jan. 27. But he had an important message to deliver.
"Thank you," he said simply.
Eric wanted to express his gratitude to the Smoky Hill High School community for raising $36,000 for Make-A-Wish of Colorado during the school's 2017 Wish Week. The money has granted or will grant wishes for several children who are fighting life-threatening illnesses. That includes Eric, who is battling brain cancer for the third time.
Eric's wish came true in a big way last fall, when he got to meet his hero, Von Miller, Denver Broncos linebacker and Super Bowl 50 MVP. He also got to have dinner with Miller at Elway's. When the students asked him what he had for dinner, Eric kept his answer short and sweet. "Steak," he said with a smile.
Thanks to the SHHS community, Make-A-Wish of Colorado and the Denver Broncos, Eric also got to tour the Bronco's practice facility where he met several other players as well as general manager, John Elway, and former coach, Gary Kubiak. Eric and his family were special guests at Invesco Field at Mile High, during the Broncos game against the Atlanta Falcons. They got to be on the field for pregame and enjoyed the action from box seats.
Granting wishes for children like Eric has become a tradition at Smoky Hill. In the past seven years, the school has raised more than $160,000 for Make-A-Wish of Colorado.

Tata Motors Rolls Out its First Batch of EVs for EESL
Saumy Prateek
Electric Vehicles, Energy Storage
Mr. Ratan N Tata, Chairman Emeritus, Tata Group and Mr. N Chandrasekaran, Chairman, Tata Sons and Tata Motors flagging off the first batch of TIGOR EVs from the Sanand plant.
Automobile manufacturer Tata Motors announced that it has rolled out its first batch of electric vehicles (EVs) for the public sector joint venture Energy Efficiency Services Limited (EESL). The Tigor EV vehicle was produced at the Tata Motors production line in Sanand, Gujarat.
"This occasion is a significant milestone for Tata Motors and a proud moment for the entire team. As we work together to build the future of e-mobility in India, I am confident that our customers will respond very favorably to this electric model," Tata Group Chairman N. Chandrasekaran said in commemoration of the occasion.
Mercom reported in October that Tata Motors had won a bid to supply 10,000 EVs to EESL in two phases, with the first 500 e-cars set to be delivered in November 2017 and the remaining 9,500 EVs to be delivered in the second phase of the project. A company press release did not specify just how many vehicles were delivered in this first batch.
Phase 1 of the agreement calls for Tata Motors to deliver 250 Tigor EVs, for which it has received a letter of award (LoA). EESL is expected to issue a second LoA shortly for an additional 100 cars. The electric drive systems for the Tigor EV vehicles were developed and supplied by Electra EV – a company that develops and supplies electric drive systems for the automotive sector.
Guenter Butschek, chief executive officer of Tata Motors, said "It is indeed a momentous occasion for us as we have shown an exemplary teamwork spirit to overcome all challenges in delivering this project. I also recognize the invaluable contribution made by Electra EV as part of this team. With Tigor EV, we have begun our journey in boosting e-mobility and offering a full range of electric vehicles to the Indian customers. This tender has effectively paved the way for connecting our aspirations in the e-mobility space with the vision of the government."
Mercom previously reported that competition is heating up in India's EV sector as the Indian government is currently targeting the sale of 6-7 million new hybrid and electric vehicles by 2020 under the National Electric Mobility Mission Plan (NEMMP), making EVs the next big cleantech opportunity in India.
A recent study by Niti Aayog and the Rocky Mountain Institute highlights the staggering potential of India's EV market. Researchers found that India could account for more than one-third of the global market for EV batteries by 2030 if it becomes a 100 percent EV nation. The study also estimated that India's market for EV batteries could be worth as much as $300 billion (~₹19.38 trillion) from 2017 to 2030.

I've been thinking along those lines myself. As long as the windings are good it should be a matter of replacing brushes and bearings, maybe cleaning up the commutator. I'd think a good auto electrics shop should be able to handle it IF the parts are available.

EVGA RTX 3090 FTW3 Cards Will Get New BIOS After Amazon 'New World' Debacle
RJ Pierce, Tech Times 07 August 2021, 04:08 pm
EVGA is doing everything it can for their NVIDIA RTX 3090 FTW3 cards, especially after the debacle with Amazon's "New World" MMO, killing a few.
VideoCardz reports that the company will be offering a much-needed firmware update for their RTX 3090s, which is rumored to fix the problem with the graphics cards' fan RPM sensors.
It's these RPM fan sensors that had led to many EVGA RTX 3090 FTW3 cards dying when they played the "New World" MMO's beta because apparently, the game's unlocked frame rate tricked the cards into making the fans spin way faster than they're supposed to. As a result, the cards' cooling mechanisms broke, overheated, and eventually died.
Furthermore, it's not even just EVGA's RTX 3090s that were being affected, it seems. Other NVIDIA GPUs like the RTX 3080 Ti and RX 6800 XT/6900 XTs from AMD have also had problems with the new MMO game from Amazon.
This comes after EVGA vowed they will replace all NVIDIA RTX 3090s that died while playing "New World" over two weeks ago, reports Tom's Hardware.

EVGA RTX 3090 Problems With 'New World': What Happened?
As previously stated, the EVGA RTX 3090s that died playing the Amazon MMO appeared to have been bricked due to the game's very high frame rates. However, many other video games also have sky-high frame rates, and they haven't had the same issue.
To find out what really happened, popular tech YouTuber JayzTwoCents put "New World" and its NVIDIA RTX 3090-killing capabilities to the test recently. Initially, the theory involved the game's so-called "runaway" frame rates in the main menu. But runaway frame rates (those reaching up to thousands of FPS in menus, for instance) are not uncommon in video games at all.
At the end of the test with the same problematic EVGA graphics card, most parameters like VRM temperatures stayed normal. But the problematic one was the card's peak power draw while playing the game. The EVGA RTX 3090 drew an average of 10% more power than its max power limit, which made the card run way hotter than it's supposed to.
This could be among the reasons why many GPUs of this model got bricked, but it's not really tied to the fans spinning too fast at all.
There are more details about the tests in the video:
An Isolated Incident, More Or Less
The developers of "New World" have since patched the game. According to Tom's Hardware, the fix capped the runaway frame rate in the menu screen to prevent the game from "over utilizing" the graphics card. However, the devs didn't even know what caused the deaths of those 3090s. These problems, they say, weren't even present during their earliest playtests, when the game is supposed to be more unstable and incomplete.

'Beat' Reporter
Pat Collins riffs on local news in the nation's capital.
Author: Tom Condon '68
Pat Collins with Washington Nationals first baseman Ryan Zimmerman during the World Series
You might not know it from watching the cable news channels, but there is more to Washington, D.C. than politics.
Beyond the well-known public buildings and monuments lies a real city, a big city of more than 600,000 souls, with 10 times that many in the metro area. There are saints and sinners, strivers and slackers, everyday people.
Pat Collins '68 tells their stories.
Collins is a local news reporter for NBC4 Washington and one of the most original storytellers ever to work in television news. His reports fit no formula; they are some mix of street savvy, imagination and solid journalistic chops.
"No one does local news beat poetry quite like NBC4 Washington's Pat Collins," opined late-night HBO comedian John Oliver in 2018 as he introduced a medley of Pat's reports.
Collins's unique style has made him one of the most recognized and respected reporters in Washington, winner of 10 Emmys and many other awards. He was even Grand Marshal of the District's 2017 St Patrick's Day Parade. But before all of that, in what is still among his proudest accomplishments, he was the co-founder of The Observer, Notre Dame's student newspaper.
Collins grew up in Washington and while in high school landed a job covering scholastic sports for The Washington Daily News, a scrappy tabloid. Newsrooms then were bathed in cigarette smoke, noisy with the clack and bang of typewriters and teletypes and full of smart and often colorful characters beating deadlines to report the day's news. Young Pat was hooked.
"You never wanted to leave," he says. "You might miss something."
He didn't have the same feeling for The Voice, the student newspaper when he arrived at Notre Dame in the fall of 1964, which he viewed as akin to a church bulletin. "It just wasn't very good," he says. As a freshman Pat put out a parody of the The Voice called The Whisper.
Then he got serious. The next year he met the precocious Robert Sam Anson '67, who would soon become a Time magazine foreign correspondent. Anson agreed with Collins that the campus should have a better newspaper.
They joined The Voice, managed to shut it down, and then restarted it as The Observer, basing the original nameplate on The National Observer. They began publishing twice a week. As editor in 1967-68, Collins moved it to thrice a week, on its way to becoming a daily.
He recruited students (this writer included) who wrote stories and columns, sold ads, did "pre-press" work — layout and paste-up — and drove it to the Niles, Michigan plant where it was printed. Though on a shoestring budget, Collins paid (tiny) salaries and managed to staff some major national stories, including the 1967 march on the Pentagon.
"I wanted students to experience every aspect of putting a newspaper together," he says, "as I had at the Daily News."
The Observer was read, discussed, debated. The word "screw" once appeared, bringing a scathing letter from an alumnus decrying "smut on Our Lady's face." Collins pushed it too far, however, when he compromised Our Lady's pocketbook. He published a "football special," which contained names and numbers of the players, with some staff-written feature stories. He sold it for less than the official game program, which caused the administration to "move us off campus — way off campus," he recalls.
The Vietnam War was still raging when Pat graduated in 1968, and he was in the Army ROTC. He served in Vietnam for a year with the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment. Among his duties: running an aid station during the controversial 1970 incursion into Cambodia, where the unit suffered many casualties.
When he was discharged in 1971, Pat told friends he no intention of marrying right away. He stuck steadfastly to this pledge for about a month, reassessing it after a blind date with a lovely young woman from Philadelphia named Emily Bender. They married that September and now have three children and five grandchildren.
His other big decision that year was to return to The Washington Daily News. Big-city tabloids are made for the subway rider. Unfortunately for the Daily News, in the early '70s the Washington Metro hadn't opened yet. In June of 1972 the Daily News folded and sold some of its assets to The Washington Star, the District's afternoon paper.
Pat went to work for the Star, for a time called the Star-News, and was assigned to the biggest story in a generation, Watergate. He and his partner Joe Volz broke some major stories in the scandal that brought down President Richard Nixon. But they'd gotten a late start and didn't have the sources that Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein of The Washington Post did. Volz later wrote a magazine piece about their work titled "None of The President's Men."
Collins had seen one newspaper collapse and was unnerved by some of the management decisions at The Star (it would fold in 1981). Meanwhile, something was happening in television: stations were beginning to realize they could make piles of money on local news, and were looking for competent reporters. A friend got Pat an audition at WTOP Channel 9, and he was hired.
He'd learned how to write bright and tight, as some editors say, at the Daily News, but doing a story on camera was a challenge. He said for the first six months he was "terrible." But under the tutelage of legendary news director Jim Snyder, who brought Andrea Mitchell, Warner Wolf and other luminaries into television, Collins got better. He began to see the potential of a visual medium. He could tell a story by using props, moving around or even wearing costumes, if the subject matter so lent itself.
After stints at WTOP, WLS in Chicago and WJLA Channel 7 in Washington, he moved to WNBC4 in 1986 has been there since. His station focuses on local news — but in Washington, local news often is national news. Collins worked on government shutdowns, the 9/11 attack on the Pentagon, the D.C. sniper, Navy Yard shootings and countless other stories, some less morbid.
A Collins classic that went viral on YouTube involved a 14-year-old high schooler who was suspended from school in Virginia for running around a football field at halftime of a game in a banana costume. Collins wore a full-body grape costume as he conducted a serious, low-key interview with the banana. The lad was quickly reinstated.
Weather can be big news. Snow does what no enemy has done since the War of 1812: it brings Washington to a halt. When a storm hits, countless viewers turn to NBC4 to watch Collins, armed with his signature Pat Collins Snow Stick, a thick blue yardstick, out measuring the snowfall.
At 73, Collins has cut back to three days a week. He is writing a memoir. But he still loves putting a story together, and the station loves the way he attracts viewers with a depth of information and compelling storytelling that stands out from the competition.
As longtime colleague Sharon Donnel puts it, "Pat is a national treasure."

Here you will learn how to remove a paper jam error in HP printers, follow the steps below.
Carriage jams in HP printers can occur after removing jammed paper from your printer.
This is because when the carriage that carries the ink cartridges may have a paper jam or it is not traveling as it should; normally this often happens with the HP all-in-one printers it may even happen with any other printer.
When HP printers say they have jammed carriage they may have it, it may also be the case that this is a printer error, then we will present some possible solutions to this case, because of this error the printer does not print and printing stops unexpectedly.
First of all check if the printer has a paper jam see how to remove jammed paper because this they may affect the carriage, follow the prompts a paper jam can be a little harder to remove than the apparent.
If you are using our printer and suddenly it begins to show carriage jam error or blocked carriage as fast as you can we recommended as first option to power the printer off and on again.
We use the buttons on the front side of the printer menu; we will press the power button usually located on the top panel and with the next symbol.
The next thing is turning our printer again before lighting it is recommended to wait about 3 minutes turn on the printer off and on by the same button.
As mentioned before there is the possibility that the carriage jam error on HP printers is due to an existing paper jam, see how to remove a paper jam that may be causing the carriage jam in the printer.
We turn off the printer again, and disconnect the power cord electricity, now off the printer and subsequent disconnect the power cord electricity is because we need the printer does not have any electrical connection that might damage as downloads electric.
Open the back side of the printer, almost all printers on the back have a small door that gives access to remove paper jam, from here we have access to the paper rolling, if there is any chance to have some paper is located there.
In case it has stayed a bit of paper inside rear rolling bearings we recommend eliminating all you should also look stealthily to check that there are no pieces of paper which causes the printer to continue giving errors after cleaning.
When we verify closes the back door again, do this firmly and put the two tabs on each side.
Reconnect the power cord and turn the printer power again, verify that the printer is working properly.
The first step to verify that the cartridge carriage is moving correctly is the following: With the printer turned on we have to open the front door giving access to the ink cartridges, we wait that these will be put in position to replace ink cartridges (ie in the middle), if the cartridge carriage moves smoothly and wait that this ends the process completely.
If the ink cartridges are not freely moving as you do manually, we have to turn the printer off and then disconnect the electrical power cord, always remember that we have to place hands inside the printer disconnect electricity feeder cables, with this we avoid damaging the printer and damage to us by electric shocks. When we have the printer off we try to move the car from side to side with our hands, do it gently to avoid damaging the cartridge carriage and printer gear. Check if there is need to grease lightly by the tube where the cartridge carriage moves, they can also need to use grease if so, heat-resistant grease, you can buy it at any auto parts.
The resetting of multifunction printers is usually easy to do you just need to turn off the printer power button and unplug the power cord, now again pressed the power button and leave it pressed until you connect the electricity power cord.
When you connect the electricity power cord there is the possibility that the printer starts a small process like printing, after this turn off and turn on the printer and everything is completed.
If the problem continued contact us, we will gladly help you.
