Jennifer Lawrence should focus on "fixing" Hollywood
Rebel Staff
On last night's show, our own Ben Davies joined me to talk about actress Jennifer Lawrence's vow to quit acting for a year to "fix democracy."
Lawrence has no experience in politics, she played no role in the election, doesn't understand the Constitution, and she doesn't have a degree in political science or even a high school diploma.
Hollywood has come under intense scrutiny for rampant sexual misconduct by powerful figures like Harvey Weinstein, maybe Lawrence's should use her influence to focus on cleaning up her own backyard.
Robert Greeley commented 2018-02-24 23:11:31 -0500
Jennifer…do some history lesson's first……..
Drew Wakariuk commented 2018-02-23 23:33:26 -0500
If she did that then she would have to earn her spot on the top with good acting.
She's 27 years old and didn't graduate high school, or get her GED….not interested in what she has to say!
Nice to see smart people criticize low IQ actresses or actors.

EGS Mini Mentorship
Edinburgh Game Symposium: PRESS PLAY (2016)
AWEdio Jam (2016)
Edinburgh Game Symposium: ProtoPlay Edition (2015)
Edinburgh Game Symposium 2.0 (2014)
Edinburgh Game Symposium (2013)
The Edinburgh Game Symposium was started in 2013 by composers Jacob Pernell, Luci Holland, and Yati Durant. With a passion for video games and game music, the core team sought to bring more awareness about games (both industry and independent) and game music to the local community. The inaugural EGS was held at Inspace as part of the Edinburgh International Film Festival in June of 2013 in Edinburgh, Scotland.
The Edinburgh Game Symposium strives to bring professional game developers and game composers from around the world to share with us their thoughts about these fields as both forms of entertainment and art. Those in attendance glean valuable insight into the current state and future directions of both the development and audio sides of games.

Q: Getting Error Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '$_GET' (T_VARIABLE) I am making a page where on page 1 i am fetching data from mysql & on click of the name i am redirecting to another page i.e page 2 where complete details is shown.

                echo "
";
            }
            echo "
";
            mysqli_close($conn);
        ?>

A: There is no such need to typecast $name=(varchar) $_GET['name'];
Simply use : $name= $_GET['name'];
You also need to add the same param in query string
echo "" . $row['name'] . "	";

A: change this following line in page1
 echo "" . $row['name'] . "	";

to
 echo "" . $row['name'] . "	";

and in page 2
(varchar) $_GET['name']

to
$_GET['name']

A: You need to remove the (varchar) typecast. No need to do that, also varchar is a data type in MySQL not PHP.
I'd add some validation to ensure that your $_GET is set to prevent undefined index errors which would have been thrown if the typecast wasn't there as your URL was wrong in the first page.

A: you just need to check if GET is set. you can do like this
$name=isset($_GET['name'])? $_GET['name'] : '' ;

and check if you are passing name in the url by get method .

if you are using this link to come on page 2 .
echo "" . $row['name'] . "	";

then change this to.  pass name as get method
echo "" . $row['name'] . "	";

so your code on page 2 will
<?php

            $host="localhost"; // Host name
            $username="root"; // Mysql username
            $password=""; // Mysql password
            $db_name="testmra"; // Database name
            // Connect to server and select databse.
            $conn=mysqli_connect($host,$username,$password) or die("cannot connect");
            mysqli_select_db($conn,$db_name);
            $name=isset($_GET['name'])? $_GET['name'] : '' ;
            $result = mysqli_query($conn,"SELECT * from bookingdetails WHERE  YEAR(date) = YEAR(CURDATE()) AND MONTH(date) = MONTH(CURDATE()) AND status_id='2' AND name='$name'");
            echo "

                    Room
                    Name
                    Purpose
                    Attendee
                    Date
                    Start Time
                    End Time

";
            while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result))
            {
                echo "
";

                        echo "" . $row['room'] . "	";
                        echo "" . $row['name'] . "	";
                        echo "" . $row['purpose'] . "	";
                        echo "" . $row['attendee'] . "	";
                        echo "" . $row['date'] . "	";

            }
            echo "
";
            mysqli_close($conn);
        ?>

or you should put whole code in a condition like
if(isset($_GET['name']))
{
  // your code here
}

Postgame Quotes
Recap | Final Stats | Notes |
Kansas Postgame Quotes
Head Coach Bill Self
On creating steals and other aspects of the game:
"This game was without Russell (Robinson), too, and he's obviously one of our best steal guys. Everybody played well, and I thought we played great defense in the first half. Offensively I thought we were good, we just missed a few layups, I think we missed three layups in the first four minutes of the game. I was pleased with our effort though, we rebounded well again, we forced them into making some bad plays. We got a little sloppy late but that's to be expected. Everybody played really well, but I thought the job that Mario did gaurding Taylor, especially early on was great."
On the play KU's guards:
"I thought they played well, and Rodrick was a very good gaurd for us today. I thought Brandon (Rush) played fine he just didn't score tonight, he needs to be more aggresive and look to score. I guess we need to do more to get him some looks. We got a lot of layups as well as some other in-tight shots, which is indicated by our points in the paint. We did a lot of good things, including our bench playing well. It doesn't hurt when Julian (Wright) makes six shots in a row and Darrell (Arthur) gets 15 (points) and 11 (rebounds). Everyone we put out there produced pretty well."
On the state of the team:
"I would say since the Texas Tech game there's been a noticable change. For the last ten games we have really hunkered down and played well. Except for that last four minutes of the Texas A&M game we played great. We didn't play well against Texas Tech by any means, we deserved to win that game. Since then we've played pretty well, we've been more aggresive on the boards. We went through a bit of a soft phase where we didn't rebound the ball effectively. But our big guys are playing better, and I really believe that the emmergence of Sherron has allowed some other guys to get some easy baskets. Our guys are confident right now and we've got a long way to go from where we need to be. We're playing the best we have all year, and we have to keep it up for one last huge week and then the real fun begins, but this next week is big."
Freshman Forward Darrell Arthur
On having relatively easy wins recently:
"I think we've been playing good defense recently and our offense has been real good. Everybody is sharing the ball and everybody is happy out there. Brandon (Rush) hasn't been scoring well lately, but he is picking it up in practice, to get everybody going. I think everybody is playing really well right now."
On Sherron Collins starting the game:
"He was really nervous before the game. He was sharing the ball a lot and got everybody flowing. I think he played a great game tonight."
On his game:
"I think I've been playing pretty good offensively. Defensively, I've been crashing the boards pretty hard. We work on that a lot in practice so we just try to get physical out there and try to beat every team in rebounds. Coach (Self) is saying that if we win the boards; we win the game. So I just put that in my head and run with it."
Sophomore Forward Julian Wright
On Arthur's play the last few games:
"I think he is more patient offensively. He has that athleticism to get lift on his shot. He just takes his time and when he is playing like this he can take our team to another level. Especially with rebounding the ball and running the floor."
On facing Iowa State after the overtime game in Ames:
"I think every game has given us different looks at different things in terms of what to learn from. Just a combination of games since then, it has helped us out and shows how much we have improved. We just want to keep playing and get better. Now we are going to Oklahoma to play a really tough team. Whenever we get a win it's cool, but after that we have to get back to business."
On Oklahoma:
"We have to be focused going down there. We have to control the game as far as tempo and make easy baskets and get to the free throw line."
Freshman Guard Sherron Collins
On what to takes to win easily:
"A killer instinct. That is what coach tells us all the time. Like at half time, the game isn't over, we have to come out and play the same way we did in the first half. We have to keep our engine level up. He (Self) still lets us know that it's still important."
On the team's defense:
"We are trying to bring toughness and have a presence out there. Rebound and make them shoot bad shots. When we get the rebound we are off to the races."
Iowa State Postgame Quotes
Head Coach Greg McDermott
On the game:
"We were defeated in every aspect of the game, both physically and mentally. The credit goes to Kansas. We started the game like we wanted to; the tempo was in our favor and we were getting some stops and limiting their transition baskets. They only scored on three of their first nine possessions. Then, foolish turnovers on our part and losing them in transition, once they got up it was hard us to come back."
On Kansas:
"They have virtually every piece of the puzzle, and their starting point guard (Russell Robinson) did not play today. In some ways I felt that he was the glue that held them together because he did so many things that did not show up on the stat sheet. They were very effective and unselfish without him today. Their big guys were able to score when they dropped it down into the post, which was something they did not do as good of job as when them played in Ames. When you have shooters like they have and the ability to score and transition, and now you add to it with guys that can score over the top in the post, it is a very difficult team to stop. They scored 89 points in a game where we really controlled the tempo with the zone we have. That is pretty good efficiency. I think offense is what gets you attention, but I think people lose sight of how good they are on defense."
On his first experience in Allen Fieldhouse:
"I have had better experiences than the one I had today. It has a lot of tradition and they have tremendous success here and for good reason. They have an outstanding fan base that is very understanding of the game. I'm sure as our young guys look back on this some day it will be an experience they really enjoy. I just hope that in the future we can come in here and be a little bit more competitive."
Junior Guard Mike Taylor
"They are good, but it is just like playing any other Big 12 team if you come out lackadaisical. I don't necessarily think that was the case with us, but they just played harder than we did. They got to all of the loose balls and they were ready to go from the start of the game. They were more aggressive than us and that is something we have been lacking as a team all year. We just have to compete. We allowed them to get second chances off of offensive rebounds and that really hurt us."
On what Kansas did different from the first meeting:
"They just outplayed us. They did force the tempo in transition which gave us problems. They just attacked the glass. They were just tougher than us. Kansas played the same defense as they did in the first game, but they were just more aggressive than us."
Freshman Guard Dodie Dunson
"We were playing their style of basketball. They were pushing the ball in transition and they just came out more aggressive. Kansas played solid defense and they were pushing each other to get stops. We didn't get back in transition."
On the positives ISU can take away from the game:
"All the Big 12 teams are very competitive and we just have to learn. We now are starting to get some games under our belt. We go to Nebraska next week and hopefully we can pull off a win."


Predictions of an "imminent fiscal meltdown" among U.S. states and municipalities are exaggerated and create "unnecessary alarm" for policy makers, the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities said in a report.
The operating deficits most states are forecasting for fiscal 2012 are the result of the post-recessionary weak economy and have been erroneously conflated with longer-term issues such as debt, pension obligations and retiree health costs, Iris J. Lav, senior adviser at the Washington research group, and Elizabeth McNichol, a senior fellow, said in the report today.
"Overheated claims about state and local budget problems not only are inaccurate, but also could lead policy makers to take unwise steps such as allowing states to declare bankruptcy or forcing them to change the way they report their pension liabilities as a condition for issuing tax-exempt bonds," Lav said in a press release accompanying the report's release.
U.S. states confront deficits totaling $140 billion in the next fiscal year, according to a Dec. 16 report from the center.
Meredith Whitney, the banking analyst who correctly predicted Citigroup Inc.'s dividend cut in 2008, has predicted as many as 100 "significant" municipal defaults reaching "hundreds of billions" of dollars this year. That forecast has been met with skepticism by bond analysts and investors including Lyle Fitterer of Wells Capital Management in Menomonee, Wisconsin, the top manager of U.S. municipal-bond funds in the past decade.
Municipal-bond defaults are "extremely rare" at less than one-third of 1 percent, the center said in the report, citing calculations by the three major rating firms. Most defaults are on bonds to finance housing or hospital construction and reflect problems with those projects, not the fiscal health of the local government.
While unfunded pension liabilities of states and localities have been estimated at as much as $3 trillion, the figure is a "more manageable (although still troubling)" $700 billion, according to the report.
The suggestion that federal legislation should permit states to declare bankruptcy — potentially allowing them to default on their bonds or reimburse vendors less than they're due — "could do considerable damage, and the necessity for it has not been proven," the report said.
The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities is a nonpartisan, nonprofit research group funded primarily by foundations and philanthropies. It receives no funding from government or unions.

Q: Centering a slideshow with HTML and CSS I am attempting to develop a website to better my web development understanding and have run into an issue implementing a website. I am struggling figuring out how to neatly center my slideshow I have implemented for the home screen so i can develop my header, footer and nav bar around it. Any help on this end would be greatly appreciated. the HTML code used looks like this.

html,
body {
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
  padding: 0;
  margin: 0px;
}

slider {
  display: block;
  width: 1280px;
  height: 50%;
  background-color: #1f1f1f;
  overflow: hidden;
  position: absolute;
  margin: 0px auto;
}

slider>* {
  position: absolute;
  display: block;
  width: 50%;
  height: 50%;
  background: #1f1f1f;
  animation: slide 12s infinite;
  overflow: hidden;
  margin: 0px auto;
}

slide:nth-child(1) {
  left: 0%;
  animation-delay: -1s;
  background-image: url(1.jpg);
  background-size: cover;
  background-position: center;
}

slide:nth-child(2) {
  animation-delay: 2s;
  background-image: url(2.jpg);
  background-size: cover;
  background-position: center;
}

slide:nth-child(3) {
  animation-delay: 5s;
  background-image: url(3.jpg);
  background-size: cover;
  background-position: center;
}

slide:nth-child(4) {
  left: 0%;
  animation-delay: 8s;
  background-image: url(4.jpg);
  background-size: cover;
  background-position: center;
}

slide p {
  font-family: Comfortaa;
  font-size: 70px;
  text-align: center;
  display: inline-block;
  width: 100%;
  margin-top: 340px;

<slider>

  </slide>
  <slide>

Slide 2

  </slide>
  <slide>

Slide 3

  </slide>
  <slide>

Slide 4

  </slide>
</slider>

A: As far as I understand, you want to center the slider in the body. If so, you need to change absolute by relative of position of slider.
slider {
    display: block;
    width: 1280px;
    height: 50%;
    background-color: #1f1f1f;
    overflow: hidden;
    position: relative;
    margin: 0px auto;
}

A: You can center-align the slider by many ways. Like using the center tag although it is not recommended.

Obsolete

  This feature is obsolete. Although it may still work in some browsers, its use is discouraged since it could be removed at any time. Try to avoid using it.

See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/center

You can change your css code to this:
slider {
    display: block;
    margin-left: auto;
    margin-right: auto;
    // margin: 0 auto;
}

Or you can enclose slider in a div and add text-align: center to the div (aka wrapper or container) and add display: inline-block to slider

If you want to keep your position: absolute, then you can write your css like this.
slider {
    position: absolute;
    left: 50%;
    margin-left: 640px; //half of the width
    // you can also use:
    // transform: translate(-50%, 0px);
    // instead of margin-left
}

Also see these two for more ways and explanation:

The Syrian civil war and the conflict that preceded it have led to a complete collapse of the Syrian economy, severe unrest in neighboring countries and the wider Middle East as a whole, hundreds of thousands of lost lives, and nearly twelve million displaced persons or refugees.
The conflict began in March of 2011 after a peaceful protest led by Syrian citizens who wanted reform in their government. They were specifically protesting their lack of freedom and the corrupt leadership of Bashar al-Assad, the President of Syria, whose resignation soon became a condition of their protests. Assad responded as his father did before him and crushed the protests with lethal military force.
In 2012, The International Committee of the Red Cross officially declared the unrest in Syria a civil war.
Assad inherited the presidency in 2000, when his father Hafez al-Assad passed away. He initially gave the Syrian people a great amount of hope; the young, Western-educated, successful doctor, with the charming Syrian-British wife who could change the corrupt way that his father had once led the country, was a symbol of a new era. His first years were marked with an increase in international trade and a strengthening of the Syrian economy.
By 2011 Assad's momentum had waned, and his government had fallen back into corruption and gridlock.
On April 25th, 2011, several thousand Syrians gathered in Deraa, a city that had hosted protests since March, to protest against the Assad regime. This was just one of many peaceful protests that had been hosted in Deraa over the past few weeks. They had been calling for a major upheaval of their corrupt government and for its leader, Bashar al-Assad, to step down from office. What made this date notable was that instead of ignoring the protestors as the government and its army had previously been doing, they responded with violence. They shot automatic weapons into the crowd and brought in military personnel whose job it was to silence the protestors. Al Jazeera reported that at least fifty protestors were shot down and killed. This was unfortunately only the beginning. In response, the protests expanded across the entire country. In Deraa and other cities, over 25,000 protestors peacefully expressed their disapproval of their government, Damascus, the capital city, included. Protestors began calling "With our soul and with our blood we will sacrifice ourselves for Deraa," "Down with the regime," and "We stand with Deraa."
Since that day in 2011, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) has declared that over 6.5 million Syrians are considered to be refugees, that over 10.8 million people in the region will be hurt by the conflict, and that only about 26,000 of these people have been "targeted for assistance." These numbers grow daily. Citizens that are targeted for assistance are the people that the UNHCR has committed to financially supporting through various means as they try to find a new place to live. That is only about 0.2% of the predicted number of people who will be hurt by the conflict.
Besides the tragic loss of life and the equally as devastating mass displacement of Syrian citizens, the economic burden of these past four years will be felt by generations of Syrians and middle easterners more broadly for years to come.
It is not just Syrians who are facing the onus. The UNHCR has had to more than triple its financial support to Syria, increasing from $116.8 million USD in 2011 to an estimated $362.5 million USD by the end of 2015. While UNHCR Internally Displaced Peoples (IDPs) projects are gaining funding, the refugee programs are quickly losing it. In 2010, the refugee program budget in Syria was well over $150 million USD. It is now barely over $50 million USD. As an increasing number of people become refugees, an even larger group of people are becoming IDPs. What this means for refugees is that unless they choose to stay in Syria (which they most likely will not), the chances of them getting aid or assistance from the UNHCR is significantly lower now than it previously was.
While the UNHCR is spending a great deal of money, the Syrian economy is certainly bearing the biggest portion of the cost of this war. A Harvard Center for International Development study estimated that "large government-involved civil wars typically reduce the gross domestic product (GDP) by 1.25 percent each year." In 2013, Syria's economy did not just drop the estimated 1.25 percent. Instead it dropped 20.6 percent. In 2014, the Syrian government was so broken that no data was available for an updated figure. The same was true for 2015.
The World Bank published a report saying that a primary cause of this striking decline in funds is a sharp decline in oil production, down from 368,000 barrels per day in 2010 to about 40,000 in 2015.
This decrease in production certainly had an effect on the rest of the world and their demand for oil. According to a graphic put together by information organization Info Mine, crude oil prices rose to over $100 starting right at the time that the crisis did, and has stayed that high or higher until August of last year when it slowly began to lower.
Aside from collapsing infrastructure and economy, the Syrian Civil War has given birth to one of the most dramatic human refugee crises since the Second World War. Many people have argued against their own governments allowing these refugees into their nations for a variety of reasons, the most popular being that they will take natives' jobs, that it is too expensive, and that terrorists will sneak in with the refugees.
The most popular complaint against accepting more refugees, that it is just too expensive, has recently been proven incorrect by a World Bank study. After evaluating the GDPs of the nations bordering Syria, (Lebanon, Turkey, and Jordan) the report stated that all three countries have experienced about three percent growth since they began accepting refugees.
While these nations have accepted more refugees, they have also received an increasing amount of financial aid from other nations. The cost of dealing with refugees is quite high, but a "recent study carried out under the auspices of the UN concluded that the refugee-aid packages alone actually boosted Lebanon's GDP by more than one percent." This said, the same report has claimed that on the other side of the coin, the crisis in Syria and the spillover of the economic down turn there has lowered Lebanon's GDP by about .3 percent. So while refugee aid can be a boon to national economies, the countries that are located in the immediate area of conflict still suffer detrimental results.
The second most common reason why nations do not want to accept more Syrian refugees is because they supposedly take all the open jobs away from natives. This should sound all too familiar, as the same rhetoric is used in the United States when talking about immigrants from Mexico. The Center for Middle Eastern Strategic Studies conducted a study on this and found that Syrian refugees actually were benefitting the economies of neighboring nations in this way as well, as they were taking the jobs that natives were actively choosing not to apply for, creating a more productive and powerful work force.
The third reason is that of the two major jihadist attacks against Western targets tied to Syrians (Paris and San Bernardino, CA). Only in one of the cases (Paris) did one single assailant have a falsified refugee passport. No attack inside America has been conducted by a Syrian refugee.
"Since 2012 the European Union has received about 1.9 million requests for asylum, and even that number is dwarfed by the number of people who have sought refuge in countries adjacent to Syria. According to the United Nations, Turkey has taken in an estimated 2.2 million, Lebanon 1.1 million, and Jordan six hundred and thirty thousand." According to the UNHCR, over 50 percent of the Syrian population is currently internally displaced. Creating support systems for those people to find their way back to their homes once it is safe to do so will be a tedious and expensive task. But as much press as the refugee crisis has received, it remains true that for every Syrian refugee abroad, approximately three Syrians remain displaced inside of Syria, and their plights are often the worst of all. They continue to struggle with war, homelessness, personal loss, and famine, and addressing their needs in the long term will be as important as handling the refugee crisis.
The United Nations expects that it will take at least thirty years for the Syrian economy to return to its prewar prosperity. "The scale of the economic destruction in Syria is reminiscent of some nations after WWII," suggested Jihad Yazigi, editor of The Syria Report. "It could take 40 to 50 years to recover." For too many victims and refugees, that means recovery will not happen in their lifetimes- unless other countries commit to helping.

CD30-regulated apoptosis in murine CD8 T cells after cessation of TCR signals
William G. Telford, Sang Yun Nam, Eckhard R. Podack, Richard A. Miller
A variety of culture systems have been developed to study mechanisms of activation-induced cell death in peripheral T lymphocytes either during the initial period after exposure to an activating stimulus or following repeated stimulation of activated T cells. In this study we describe a new culture model for the analysis of apoptosis after withdrawal of TCR signals from activated T cells. T cells activated by anti-CD3 antibodies for 48 h and then further cultured in the presence of IL-2 but absence of continued CD3/TCR stimulation underwent dramatic cell death approximately 4 days following removal of the TCR stimulus. Apoptotic cells generated in this protocol, unlike those produced by hyperstimulation, retained substantial levels of degraded DNA following fixation, consistent with death in the G0/G1 phase of the cell cycle. This 'agonist withdrawal' cell death occurred largely within the CD8 T cell subset, with CD4 cells showing lower levels of apoptosis. This form of cell death did not appear to be the result of IL-2 exhaustion, since repeated addition of IL-2 during the culture period did not significantly alter the number of apoptotic cells. Apoptosis induced by agonist withdrawal was not blocked by Fas antigen fusion protein or by anti- TNFα-neutralizing antibodies, suggesting a mechanism independent of Fas/FasL and TNFα/TNF-R interactions. Cell death was, however, significantly inhibited by treatment with a CD30 fusion protein. CD30 was found to be transiently expressed on CD8 T cells immediately prior to death, with lower expression on CD4 cells, while CD30 ligand was found to be expressed most strongly by CD4 T cells. These results suggest a role for CD30 in regulating the onset of apoptosis in CD8 T cells after interruption of CD3/TCR.

Andy: I'm just a sweet wrapper
March 29, 2010 | Posted in Interviews, Movies, Website | Comments Off on Andy: I'm just a sweet wrapper
Earlier during the premiere of Future X-cops, Barbie Hsu expressed: "If Andy Lau is still single, I will woo him." With regards to this, when Andy was interviewed by ent.163.com, he said: "I'm willing to accept, that is if I'm still single." However, being an idol, he exclaimed: "I'm a sweet wrapper, what she see is just the outlook, maybe the real me and my lifestyle is different, we could start but I may not be suitable."
ent.163.com (163): Can you introduce your character in Future X-cops?
Andy (A): I'm a cop from the future. He have huge direction, because the environment facing danger, he need to return to the past to protect a scientist.
163: You have been a policeman in several films, what is the breakthrough this time?
A: The special this time round is the special effects, the story focus on love relationship, and the relationship between father and daughter.
163: you are a father in this film, does it urge you to become a father?
A: I already acted as a father several times. With regards to when will I become a father, this I will have to think slowly.
163: Barbie said that if you're single, she will woo you, if you're single, will you accept?
A: I willing, if I'm single. However, we can start off, but unsure will we be suitable for each other. Maybe she could only see my outlook, I'm a sweet wrapper, maybe the real me and my lifestyle is different. I just watched a movie, gave me a huge feeling, the society will feel that he's a responsible person, everyone would feel that he's a real man, in actual fact, he did not care about his wife at home.
163: Wong Jing said that collaborating with you again, he felt that you had entered "another level"?
A: It's not another level, because the things we met everyday kept changing, and we still need to face it. On the first day when everyone ask me, why I accepted this film, till now people still asked this question, actually sometimes there is no reason for what you do. When you love one person, hate one person, there is no reason. When you do one thing, there could be no reason behind it, very simple, take for an example a friend approach you to shoot a film, you agree, that's how the decision is made.
163: Made a decision out of rush?
A: Nope, this is human reaction.
163: You said that you're afraid of the beauty of Fan Bingbing, do you afraid of beauty?
A: Nope, when I said that I'm afraid of her beauty, it's saying more things with her, when people ask me, I said: "I'm scared that she's too pretty, people would mistaken that I'm wooing her", this is the reason.
163: Another Wong Jing's film Beauty on Duty would also open in the cinema on 30 March, will you accept to be in such comedy?
A: I will, in Savior of the Soul and another film Dance With Dragon in the same year. If you let me choose, I will always choose Savior of the Soul, but we lose out in the box office takings as the box office takings of Dance with Dragon came out better. When you asked if I regret accepting that film, I will not regret, I will still go that direction, take this new attempt, if not I will still stuck at the same place.
163: It's said that Tsai Song-ling initially wanted a bigger director, did you recommend Wong Jing?
A: If you ask me this way, I'm embarrasses. My way of looking is there is a friend, he lose money in the movie industry, he choose a director, this director made him lose money, of course I could not reveal who he is. I feel that, Wong Jing would not hurt him, this is my feeling towards him. I'm not saying that the other director is not good enough, if we have a lot of money, we would go for that director, he would come out with a very good product. But, Tsai may also lose out.
163: How you rate Future X-cops?
A: I don't dare to say, really don't dare to say. Because we had spent the money to ensure all the computer graphic enhanced scenes are done to the best. of course when everybody had watched too much American productions, maybe we had not reached their standard, but we had did our best. We should express our thanks to the special effects friends, we had done our best under limited funds and time.
163: When comparing with American production, any areas that you are not satisfied?
A: Yes, it's a pity that we do not have enough money and time. If we were to compare with them, these 2 elements are very important, but the current market is unable it to happen. We are going the direction what the Americans were going in the past, we must follow this direction, maybe 10 years ago the Americans are doing what we are doing, we must go through this, we can't just take one big step to the American standard. I think when creating Transformers, nobody thought of Avatar, thus creating a huge differencde between them. It's different from Transformer and Avatar, we are close to American films 3-5 years ago. We're slowly improving, we cannot force the audience to accept.
163: Had you watched Avatar?
A: I watched it, I feel that the director is great, if it was still robots, or having the look of Transformers, they would failed to excel. He's drawing an animal, it's something human like. Actually it's imitating human, it's make it believing. You won't believe when 2 robots fall in love, he got hold of the market very well, very convincing. Of course I also like Hurt Locker, it's quite disappointing that Avatar failed to win the Best Picture, for example E.T losing out to Gandhi. I feel that, it's imaginary space is too wide, splendid.
163: You feel that Hurt Locker cannot be compared with Avatar?
A: I'm not saying it's not good, but for certain matters people would like to shoot, take for example if I wanted to shoot Confucius, Guan Gong and Zhao Zilong, I will go and shoot, nobody thought of shooting Avatar nor E.T, do you know how alien looked like, but in the end you would believe that alien looked like that, this is the area that they are good at. They took step by step, I'm proud of Wong Jing, if it's another director, if they know they would be scolded, they would choose not to do it. I'm proud of Wong Jing whom choose to do it.

Inspired by the delicious slow cooked pork belly dish at The Test Kitchen in Cape Town I decided to cook some pork belly myself. But instead of the parsley infused apple that was served with the pork belly at The Test Kitchen, I serve mine with poched guavas. Guavas are a winter fruit and in season at moment, so it makes sense and also roots the dish more firmly in African soil.
Guavas are not indigenous to Africa, but South American, and you are in fact not even allowed to plant any new guava trees in South Africa as is the case with many exotic trees. It is however a popular African taste today, with guava juice a very common drink for example. I prefer them poached, as the cooking process and the sugar brings out the strong flavour of the fruit in the best way.
This roasted pork belly recipe is inspired by a Jamie Oliver recipe, and the blue cheese sauce is inspired by the dish at the Test Kitchen. There was no gorgonzola for sale in my local supermarket, but a local South African variant named Simonzola after the producer Simonsberg. There are a number of good cheese producers in the Cape Winelands, and several of the vineyards produce cheese too, so it's easy to go local.
I was running a little late when making the sauce, so I had no time to try any of the advanced recipes I found on the internet. Instead I simply added the blue cheese to some heated creme fraiche, and I have to say I am really quite pleased with the result. Personally I prefer simple cooking, so this recipe is one for keeps. There will be left over guavas, but you can store them in a jar in the fridge for a week to enjoy again.
Turn your oven on as hot as possible. Cut the skin of the pork belly in a checkered pattern down to the meat, but be careful not to cut through to the meat. Grind the sea salt and fennel seeds in a mortar until the fennel seeds are smashed and mixed with the salt. Brush the pork belly with the olive oil, and then rub the salt and fennel mixture into the cut skin as well as possible and sprinkle the rest on top. Roast for 5-10 minutes, or until the skin starts going golden and bubbly, and then turn the heat down to 180 C and cook for another 60-70 minutes (generally for 30 minutes per 500 grams, and then another 15 minutes). When done, let it rest for 10 minutes before you cut it.
Combine water, sugar, vinegar and coriander seeds in a pot and bring to a boil. Then turn down and let it simmer while you add the guavas. Poach the guavas until they are soft and have taken on a more intense pink colour. Serve hot with the pork belly.
Carefully heat the creme fraiche in a pot. When it's dissolved, stir in the milk and keep at medium heat. Add the gorgonzola cheese in crumbles, and stir until the cheese has dissolved. Voila – as simple as that!
Serve pork belly, guavas and sauce with roast potatoes or perhaps some oven baked fennel, and a crisp white wine.
Guava tree at the lovely Babylonstoren garden, near Cape Town.
Left over guavas – lovely with yoghurt.
So looking forward to trying this with guavas, once they're back in season – it looks, sounds and I'm sure tastes wonderful!

Bronchoscopes Market in 2018 Projected to Exceed US$ 441 Mn Revenue, Globally
Market-Research
The global demand for bronchoscopes is projected to grow at a moderate annual rate till 2019, showcasing a 1.5x surge during 2018-2028. With a year-on-year growth rate of 4.3 percent in 2o19, the global bronchoscopes market is estimated to reach a valuation of US$ 441.4 Mn during the same period, as indicated in a recent report by Future Market Insights (FMI) on global bronchoscopes market. Increasing prevalence of chronic respiratory diseases including multiple respiratory and airway diseases, growing number of endoscopic surgeries, and early detection and diagnoses of critical conditions such as bronchopulmonary hemorrhage and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD) are some key factors projected to further impact the sales of bronchoscopes in the coming years.
"Apart from the factors mentioned, technological advancements in the bronchoscopes landscape—witnessing a transformation shift from conventional invasive procedures to minimally invasive and advanced devices—is a critical factor determining the global demand for bronchoscopes, further amplifying its potential applications. White-light bronchoscopy, Navigational bronchoscopy, and Autofluorescence (blue-light) bronchoscopy among others are some notable advancements and development, driving the global demand for bronchoscopes. Moreover, thin bronchoscopes with minimally invasive features are also gaining prominence. Manufacturers of bronchoscopes have built upon original bronchoscopes by making advancements, in terms of applicability and product versatility", explains a senior analyst of the company.
Top Four Manufacturers Contribute the Largest Global Revenue
Considering the growing rate of technological advancements key manufacturers of broncoscopes, are making significant investments in the research and development initiatives to further increase the product efficiency. The global broncoscopes market showcases a highly competitive landscape characterized by relatively high barriers to entry, differentiated and well established products, and notable high profit margins. Tier-1 manufacturers of bronchoscopes, including Olympus Corporation, FUJIFILM Holdings Corporation, Teleflex Incorporated, and HOYA Corporation, collectively hold a market share of approximately 62.5 percent—with Olympus Corporation contributing the largest revenue slice. Tier-2 players such as KARL STORZ GmbH & Co KG, Ambu A/S, and Richard Wolf GmbH and tier-3 players including Rochling Group and Shanghai AoHua Photoelectricity Endoscope Co., Ltd, collectively contribute approximately 37.5 percent revenue share to the global bronchoscopes market. Key forward market strategies include:
With continued improvements in the global healthcare setting, key players seek acquisition opportunities as a key growth strategy. Olympus Corporation, Fujifilm Holdings Corporation, Teleflex Incorporated, and HOYA Corporation are likely to focus on mergers, acquisitions, and collaborations strategies, in the coming years. HOYA Corporation, for instance, acquired C2 Therapeutics, to expand its interventional endoscopy offerings in the U.S. and also provide aftersales and repair services.
Besides strategic tie-ups, new product launches will continue to be the key differentiation strategy, helping manufacturers to further solidify their market position. For instance, Olympus Corporation launched Truresolution objectives for multiphoton laser scanning microscopes. Teleflex Incorporated launched LMA® Gastro™ Airway, facilitating airway control during endoscopic procedures.
Leading manufacturers of bronchoscopes are also focusing on geographical expansions, specifically in emerging nations, by acquiring local players in the endoscopy market.
Key Insights Drawn from Segmentation Analysis of the Bronchoscopes Market
On the basis of product type, video bronchoscopes are estimated to witness maximum traction. Holding an unrivaled market share of approximately 86.6 percent, video bronchoscopes sales is projected to generate nearly US$ 381.7 Mn in 2019. Utilizing the charge-coupled device (CCD) technology, video bronchoscopes can reach the
In terms of modality, flexible fiber bronchoscopes are indicated to hold a market share of nearly 93.7 percent. Single use flexible bronchoscopes will gain maximum traction, as per the report. Stringency in regulations coupled with elimination of cross-contamination risk are some key dynamics driving the demand for single use flexible bronchoscopes.
Asia Pacific is estimated to remain a high-revenue churning pocket, in the global bronchoscopes market. Improved access to healthcare services and rise in demand for quality healthcare, in addition to parallel need for improved user friendly products is expected to drive the sales of bronchoscopes in APAC. Moreover, focused regional expansion strategies implemented by key manufacturers of bronchoscopes, would bring further opportunities.

I was recently asked a question regarding chores and a 4 year old child. This mom wanted to know what she should expect of a 4 year in regard to helping around the house and even assigning her chores. I know this goes against the current culture, but we really believe that doing chores and helping around the house is good for children. I think it's so neat how my 19 month old even wants to sweep : ) Actually, I think he just wants to feel big and loves to whack the cat with the broom, but that's a different story.
-Hand dishes to you as you are unloading the dishwasher.
-Bring me the dirty clothes that an older sibling has thrown down the stairs and even help shove them in the washer.
-bring down small waste baskets on garbage night to be emptied.
-unload and load complete dishwasher with help.
-make bed neatly and completely.
-clean toilets with toilet brush and wipe off counters in bathrooms.
By 7 years of age, most of my children have been able to do pretty much everything even though they will need training, supervising and it still may not be done as well as the mother or father would of done.
It's nice to have the whole family working together on Saturdays to get the house clean (many hands make the work light, and fast!) and we all feel a since of accomplishment. We have had cleaning ladies or companies in the past, but the kids don't take quite the ownership of the house when they aren't the ones cleaning and keeping it straight. Now they are more careful about making messes and keeping it clean. They are also learning life skills (IE, "reality" when they are living on their own one day) and getting exercise in the process!
This is so good. Children that don't learn to work can actually grow up being afraid of work. Little children love water, so they like to clean spots on the floor with a wet rag. Also they can wipe door knobs and the front of the refridge doors with cleaning wipes.
Yes, we do pay for chores.....when I remember :) usually the kids remind me though. I pay them weekly, a quarter per age if they have done all their chores with a good attitude. I too wanted the kids to learn how to handle money and some pay for their work. We also pay for extra jobs they do that are over and above regular chores.
We all also do chores at our home. I totally agree with your list!! And little ones love to help. My little ones, usually around age three, get SO excited about being able to clean toilets. We make it fun, and they get to pick out their own toilet bowl brush. We began this with my oldest daughter, and she still loves to clean toilets. It is all about attitude and perspective. Great post!
It's so nice to see parents teaching their kids to do chores. I know to many families were the kids do nothing and the parents are totally beside themselves doing everything. My kids range from ages 11-1 and I know that if I'm sick or end up down for a day or two that my kids can hold down the house. I can get the rest that I'm needing while the house stays clean and everyone fed. Teaching them at a young age is so important and they grow up taking pride in what they can do and look forward to adding to that list as they know its because they are getting bigger and can handle more work,not that it's a punishment or something to dread.
A child should be trained and groomed to do chores so that when they grow up they know how to. I agree with your list. It's appropriate ans suitable for the given ages. Thanks for the list. It would be useful for me.

Євге́н Васи́льович Мишко́вський (інколи Мєшковський; 13 лютого 1882, м. Київ, — 6 липня 1920, м. Тернопіль) — український військовий, керівник генерального штабу Армії УНР.

Життєпис
Народився 13 лютого 1882 року в м. Київ. Існують дані, що він народився в селі Богдани Золотоніського повіту (нині Золотоніського району). Походив з козацько-старшинського роду на Полтавщині.

1897 року з відзнакою закінчує Переяславське духовне училище. Полтавську семінарію по двох роках залишив добровільно і у січні 1901 пішов на службу до 174-го Роменського піхотного полку. У Полтавській духовній семінарії вчився майже водночас із Симоном Петлюрою. 1902 року поступив до Чугуївського піхотного юнкерського училища. У квітні 1905 підпоручик Мишковський направлений до 198-го піхотного резервного Олександро-Невського полку, керує навчальною командою. Закінчив з відзнакою офіцерську школу в Петербурзі — у червні 1912. Восени 1908 року одружився з Лізою (Єлизаветою) Веселовською, дочкою відомого українського філолога, академіка Петербурзької АН, дійсного статського радника Олександра Веселовського, також родом із Полтавщини (його діди козакували на Запорозькій Січі).

Перша Світова війна
Мишковський здобуває освіту в Миколаївської академії Генерального штабу, отримує звання штабс-капітана і першу офіцерську нагороду — орден св. Станіслава III ступеня. Коли в серпні 1914 р. вибухнула Перша світова війна, Мишковський подав рапорт, щоб його взяли на фронт в Україну. В листопаді 1914 р. його відрядили в піхотну дивізію армії генерала О.Брусилова. Його дружина Ліза, закінчивши курси медсестер, виїхала в Україну разом зі своїм чоловіком і влаштувалася в дивізійний польовий госпіталь. В листопаді 1914 за виняткову мужність нагороджений орденом Святого Георгія, у лютому 1915 — орденом Святого Володимира 4-го ступеня з мечами і бантом. В листопаді 1915 р. старший ад'ютант штабу 1-ї Фінляндської стрілецької дивізії Мишковський нагороджений Георгіївською зброєю.

Улітку 1915 року дивізія Мишковського стояла над річкою Стрипою на Поділлі. Їй протистояв полк Українських січових стрільців, з якими згодом Мишковському довелося захищати Україну від більшовицької навали. З червня до вересня 1916 р. Мишковський — штаб-старшина для доручень штабу 32-го армійського корпусу. 15 серпня підвищений до звання підполковника, недовго по тому призначений начальником штабу зв'язку 11-ї армії. Наприкінці 1916 року Мишковського відкликали в Петроград, тут він зустрів Лютневий переворот. За свідченнями Єлизавети, натовп п'яних матросів оточив готель «Асторія» і витяг подружжя на вулицю. З Євгена зірвали погони, відібрали револьвер, намагалися забрати також Георгіївську шаблю — нагороду за хоробрість, але він її не віддав. П'яні анархісти хотіли їх розстріляти з іншими генералами, яких заарештували в тому ж готелі, однак доля уберегла їх: усіх відвели до Таврійського палацу, де розміщувався штаб О.Керенського. При Тимчасовому уряді з березня по вересень 1917 р. очолював штаб 105-ї піхотної дивізії. У вересні 1917 р. Мишковський уже в ранзі полковника повернувся на Волинь, на посаді начальника штабу 1-ї Туркестанської стрілецької дивізії. Ліза знову працює у військовому шпиталі. У лютому працює помічником Волинського губернського комісара.

Російська армія розвалювалася. Під впливом більшовицької пропаганди солдати бунтували. Згадуючи ці часи, відомий письменник Євген Маланюк, який служив разом із Мишковським, писав: «Євген Мишковський, його дружина та кілька старшин були як самотній острів серед бурхливого моря туляків, москвинів, киргизів, туркменів, сартів, татар та інших. І тільки Мишковський зумів приборкати роз'юшені солдатські маси й організовано привести дивізію до Києва, де її остаточно розформували».

Перші Визвольні Змагання
Під час перебування подружжя Мишковських у Києві Центральна Рада своїм Четвертим Універсалом від 22 січня 1918 року проголосила незалежність України і розгорнула розбудову української армії. Полковник Мишковський з 10 березня 1918 року працює в українському Генеральному штабі в Києві; читає лекції з політичної географії в Інституті Близького Сходу. Разом з начальником Генерального штабу полковником О. Сливинським та мічманом М. Білинським у складі очолюваної С. Шелухиним української делегації на перемовинах з Раднаркомом. Різко негативно ставився до приватних охоронних загонів та каральних експедицій, про що 9 вересня написав доповідну Генштабу. Залишився він в штабі і після гетьманського перевороту. Дружина працювала у військовій лікарні. Після початку протигетьманського повстання вирушив до Одеси, у Фастові заарештований. Під час антигетьманського повстання полковника Мишковського та генерала Омеляновича-Павленка арештували повстанці. На прохання військового міністра Західно-Української Республіки полковника Дмитра Вітовського, головний отаман Симон Петлюра відряджає 40-річного генерала Омеляновича-Павленка в Галичину, де його призначають командувачем армії ЗУНР. Євгена Мишковського 10 грудня — на посаду начальника штабу цієї ж армії. Через декілька днів командарм Омелянович-Павленко захворів, УГА фактично керує Мишковський. Під безпосереднім керівництвом нового командування у грудні-січні проведено корінну реорганізацію війська, створено, по суті, нову Українську галицьку армію з чіткою структурою; в її основу покладено три корпуси, до складу яких входили чотири піхотні бригади.

26 лютого 1919 р. Мишковського призначили начальником штабу східного фронту. Разом із ним у штабних вагонах або санітарних поїздах переїздила його вірна дружина Єлисавета. Після поразки під Вінницею і Жмеринкою Південний фронт перестав існувати як фактична бойова одиниця. В тій отаманській сутолоці Волох 21 березня під дулами гвинтівок гайдамаків пропонує старшинам підписати відозву про визнання радянської влади. Не підписали Мишковський і М. Воскобійник. Сили, що їм підпорядковувалися, обстріляли 29 березня позиції волохівців, щоб зірвати перемовини з червоноармійцями. В терміновому порядку відбуває в Румунію для переговорів щодо проходу частин УНР її територією. 14 квітня отримано дозвіл на евакуацію до Бессарабії. Проте за кордоном очікувала неприємна несподіванка — румуни, посилаючись на польську ноту, роззброюють українські частини. Недовго по тому українці без зброї повернулися на батьківщину, Мишковський лишився на перемовинах щодо повернення озброєння; призначений військовим представником УНР в Румунії. В кінці липня 1919 Дієвою Армією УНР керує Василь Тютюнник; Волинською групою керує Віктор Осмоловський, Мишковський прийняв командування штабом групи. 22 вересня підпорядковані йому частини вибили білогвардійців з Саврані та Кам"януватої. 20 листопада стає начальником штабу Дієвої Армії УНР. На початку грудня 1919 р. Мишковський захворів на тиф, і його з іншими тяжкохворими вивезли в Рівне, зайняте поляками, з якими Петлюра уклав військовий союз. Разом з ним у цій лікарні лікувалися від тифу і Василь Тютюнник та полковник Андрій Мельник.

Після одужання повернувся до української армії на посаду начальника мобілізаційної управи Генерального штабу УНР. У лютому 1920 р. Петлюра викликав Мишковського до Варшави і, після відповідного інструктажу, відрядив його до Кременця, щоб він сформував генеральний штаб нової Української армії УНР, яка спільно з польськими військами мала виступити проти більшовиків. Мишковський отримав ранг першого генерал-квартирмейстера генштабу.

Загибель
На початку липня 1920 р. головний отаман Симон Петлюра та Генеральний штаб армії УНР розташувались у Проскурові. 5 липня кіннота Будьонного прорвала фронт, і виникла загроза оточення Проскурова. Полковник Мишковський наказав евакуювати штаб армії. Як згадував генерал Микола Капустянський, в першу чергу — потяг головного отамана, якому пощастило проскочити через найбільш загрозливий Чорний Острів. Сам полковник залишив місто в останньому ешелоні. Уранці 6 липня зав'язався запеклий бій. Пізніше у своїх спогадах пані Єлисавета писала: «Залишивши при потязі підполковника Чаганівського, полковник Мишковський із гвинтівкою в руках на чолі своєї лави став наступати на головні ворожі сили. Сильним вогнем із гвинтівок примусив більшовицьку кінноту відступити, переслідував їх, аж поки не впав, поранений у стегно і руку». З поля бою його виніс сотник Андрій Чистосердов.

Першу медичну допомогу надала йому Єлисавета. У місті Волочиськ, до якого було близько одного кілометра, чекав на них потяг, присланий генералом Роммером, командиром 6-ї польської армії. Як згадував генерал Капустянський, «пораненого полковника поклали на залізничну дрезину, і пані Мишковська за допомогою двох козаків потягла його по рейках. Залізничну колію видно як на долоні — обстріл триває далі. Козаки лишають дрезину та ховаються від куль за залізничним насипом. Бідолашна пані Мишковська перевтомлена, в тяжкій розпуці тягне далі дрезину. Не раз і не двічі зупинялась, її серце ось-ось розірветься від напруження, але треба рятувати коханого чоловіка, бо буде запізно…» Полковника доставили до лікарні в Тернополі аж через три дні. Консиліум хірургів вирішує негайно ампутувати ногу, однак це не врятувало полковника від смерті.

Поховали Мишковського на Микулинецькому цвинтарі Тернополя. Симон Петлюра присвоїв йому посмертно звання генерал-хорунжого.

Вшанування пам'яті
 28 травня 2011 року в мікрорайоні Оболонь відкрито пам'ятник «Старшинам Армії УНР — уродженцям Києва». Пам'ятник являє собою збільшену копію ордена «Хрест Симона Петлюри». Більш ніж двометровий «Хрест Симона Петлюри» встановлений на постаменті, на якому з чотирьох сторін світу закріплені меморіальні дошки з іменами 34 старшин Армії УНР та Української Держави, які були уродженцями Києва (імена яких вдалося встановити історикам). Серед імен згаданий і Євген Мишковський.

America's friskiest government agency offered an apology to 3-year-old Lucy Forck on Wednesday, which, like so much of the TSA's second guessing in the last decade — at least when it comes to disabled child passengers — arrived only after an airport screening went viral.
Yes, the TSA figured out a way to get a little girl to say that she doesn't want to go to Disney World. Several copies of the video are now on the Internet, and the original has over 130,000 views — and the TSA saw it coming. Multiple times in the video, the agent tells Lucy's mom that she can't record her own child getting the full terror-suspect treatment... most likely because she didn't want to get caught. (It's not illegal to record cellphone video at an airport.) So while menacing little Lucy was probably spared a full pat-down because her mom still recorded the whole thing, the TSA is prepared for this sort of viral accounting. Not that it's stopping them.
TSA regrets inaccurate guidance was provided to this family during screening and offers its apology...We are committed to maintaining the security of the traveling public and strive to treat all passengers with dignity and respect. While no pat-down was performed, we will address specific concerns with our workforce.
A frightening trend, as you can see from Rocco's video above, is that parents can't help when the TSA goes after their children. When a kid is detained, they're detained alone for the entire screening — and that can be extremely stressful when you're a special-needs child. Stressful enough that parents would want to take to the Internet and the media to spread their cause, and stressful enough for a 4-year-old to, you know, want to give her grandma a hug.
So, yes, Lucy joins Rocco and Shelbi on the list of kids in wheelchairs who the TSA has successfully combatted in America's ongoing efforts to strengthen airport security at all costs. And they now belong to a longer list of the victims of strange pat-downs, detainments, and invasive screenings, including, but not limited to security threats like Michelle Dunaj, who is dying of leukemia; Henry Kissinger; an 18-month-old named Riyanna; 7-year-old Dina Frank, who has cerebral palsy; and Jeffrey Goldberg's mother-in-law, who apparently has an "anomaly in her crotch."
As they noted in Lucy's apology, the TSA is looking into the most recent matter in some way or another. Of course, the TSA has been looking into its screening of children for a year and a half. In September of 2011, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, "There'd be additional training for a different pat-down procedure for them and also, again, allowing them to leave their shoes on."

Work Overview
At the end of World War Two, the United States dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki on 6 and 9 August, 1945. To this day, they are the only nuclear weapons used in armed conflict. The extent of casualties is not exactly known but well over 100,000 died, mostly civilians. The war in Europe had finished some three months earlier and this would be the final event that ended the Pacific War. While there are many nuances to the moral interpretation of those events, the impact on civilians was harrowing and remains so.
The one thousand origami cranes were popularized through the story of Sadako Sasaki, a Japanese girl who was two years old when she was exposed to radiation from the atomic bombing of Hiroshima during World War II. She began making origami cranes with the goal of making one thousand, inspired by the ancient Japanese senbazuru legend that promises that anyone who folds a thousand origami cranes will be granted a wish by the gods. In Japan, the crane is one of the mystical or holy creatures and symbolizes good fortune and longevity because of its fabled life span of a thousand years.
This Sonata for Horn and Piano is the 18th in a series of sonatas written in the new millennium. It was composed in October 2019 upon return from a month in Japan where I was in residence at the Akiyoshidai International Art Village, also having visited the Peace Memorial Park in Hiroshima. The sonata is written for Carla Blackwood, my colleague at the Melbourne Conservatorium of Music. The premiere performance was given by Carla Blackwood and Stefan Cassomenos at Melba Hall, streamed digitally from 6 August 2020 - the 75th anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima.
Instrumentation: French horn, piano.
