Discover an exhibition of prints in the Upper Gallery at Croft. The prints were engraved by Joseph Constantine Stadler; the original watercolours from which he engraved the images were the work of the artist John 'Warwick' Smith and depict the 'Picturesque' landscape at Hafod, near Aberystwyth. Hafod was designed by Thomas Johnes II, who was brought up at Croft Castle.
Who was Thomas Johnes II?
Thomas (1748-1816), was born at Dinham House in Ludlow but brought up at Croft Castle. His parents Elizabeth and Thomas moved to Croft after being given it as a wedding present from Elizabeth's father, Richard Knight.
Thomas's father introduced him to their Welsh estates, and at Hafod, near Aberystwyth, the younger Thomas professed that he had found 'Paradise'. It was said that Thomas was overwhelmed by the rugged beauty of the area and, despite it being in a poor condition, he was inspired and moved to the estate in 1783.
During this time, Thomas was married and widowed within a year. He married again to his first cousin, Jane Johnes of Dolaucothi. The hasty marriage, coupled with their move to Hafod, caused a severe rift in the family. However, the couple shared a love of the place and devoted their time and Thomas's inheritance to improving farming and local amenities as well as reshaping the landscape, urged on by the two most influential proponents of the Picturesque, his cousin Richard Payne Knight and friend Sir Uvedale Price.
" in search of beauty, I never feel, saw anything so fine, never so many pictures concentrated in one spot...the sweetest interchange of hill and valley, rivers, woods and plains, and falls with forest, crown'd, rocks, dens and caves."
At the heart of the estate was a Gothic house designed by Thomas Baldwin of Bath which was completed in 1788 and substantially altered from 1793 by John Nash, who built an octagonal library.
Thomas had over three million trees planted during 1782 - 1813 and laid out walks and drives so that guests could enjoy the landscape as an ever-changing sequence of views. He received the Royal Society of Arts medal for tree planting on five occasions.
Eventually, Hafod became more of a nightmare. Thomas had overspent and incurred such debts that he had to sell the Croft estate in the 1780s.
In 1807, Hafod House burned to the ground and in 1811, the Johnes's only child Marianne died. Thomas Johnes had lost all his money, he was bankrupt and heartbroken; after an illness he and his wife moved to Devon, where he died in 1816. He is buried at the church at Hafod.
Thomas Johnes left Hafod in despair; thinking that his dream of creating paradise had been lost, but his piece of paradise would survive and eventually thrive. Today, the estate of Hafod is recognised as one of the finest examples in Europe of a Picturesque landscape and is being restored by Natural Resources Wales, in partnership with the Hafod Trust. Hafod has become a lasting legacy to Thomas Johnes and his hard work to create a Picturesque landscape.
The series of prints in our exhibition were engraved by Joseph Constantine Stadler and were based on a series of watercolours painted by John 'Warwick' Smith in 1792. The prints by Stadler were used as illustrations to Sir James Edward Smith's book 'A Tour of Hafod' which was published in 1810. The book and the prints take the reader on a journey through Hafod and allow walkers to view the landscape in a 'series of pictures'. The prints depict these views in artistic form.
When viewing the prints of Hafod there is an order in which you view them, starting with 'Hafod House' and ending with 'The Parson's Bridge'. You will take a journey through Hafod, exploring the beautiful naturalistic landscape which Thomas Johnes created. When you visit Hafod, it's like walking through a series of landscape paintings and that was exactly what Thomas Johnes wanted to create.
These prints, along with Smith's book, allowed readers to be inspired by Hafod, to feel like they were there walking through this landscape and catching glimpses of Johnes's version of 'paradise'.
Around this time, Fishpool Valley was also created in the heart of the Croft estate. Like Hafod, this valley was originally landscaped in the 'Picturesque' style, but has sadly degenerated over the years and the sweeping vistas have been obscured.
We're embarking on an ambitious project to restore this almost forgotten valley; find out more by following the link below.

Why Bill Clinton's Miffed At Obama
In politics, Hillary Clinton speaks for the Clinton family now, and aside from her campaign debt, she has no real difficulty supporting Barack Obama privately and publicly.
But Bill Clinton has a beef. A Democrat who has spoken directly to Clinton about his feelings said that the former president remains "miffed" for two reasons. One is that he feels that Obama's candidacy was essentially an anti-Clinton candidacy; that Obama ran against Clinton's presidential record at times, implying that it was timeworn, divisive, and damaging to the party while adopting policy positions that seemed to flow directly from the Clinton oeuvre. Why should Clinton embrace a guy who spent the past twelve months bashing him and his accomplishments?
Two: Clinton is convinced that the Obama campaign went out of its way to portray the former president as a racist. Clinton wants a private meeting with Obama to sort these things out; he has reconciled himself to the reality of Obama's nomination and does not want to sit on the sidelines.
"President Clinton is obviously committed to doing whatever he can and is asked to do to ensure Senator Obama is the next President of the United States," said Matt McKenna, Clinton's spokesperson, in a statement provided to news organizations today.
How does this play out? I don't sense much of a desire from the Obama campaign to completely placate the former president, but his absence from the campaign trail will be noticed, and I do get the sense that they're willing to meet him halfway. So – don't expect a public apology from Obama. Perhaps, at some point, he will murmur some private words of regret, and that'll be the end of it. After all, as famous as Bill Clinton is for holding grudges, he's also a guy who forgives.

Although early October storms in California have diminished the wildfire threat in the San Francisco Bay Area, CAL FIRE is warning residents that a few days of dry, windy air can completely change the equation (1); those same rains allowing Mendocino National Forest officials to lift fire restrictions (2). Firefighters quickly knocked down a wind-driven wildfire near Oklahoma City's Will Rogers World Airport (3). Texas Gov. Rick Perry has invoked some tax exemptions for residents of that state impacted by wildfires (4); and other benefits are available to livestock operations to help with the feeding of their charges (5); but in addition to the damage done to real estate in Bastrop County by wildfires, 1.5 million trees were also destroyed (6); while firefighters continue to monitor a five-acre wildfire which flared up in a Houston suburb (7); residents of Magnolia beginning the arduous process of cleaning up after wildfires that destroyed dozens of homes (8); however, residents of Northeast Texas have received $873,201 in grants from FEMA to cover wildfire damage done to their property (9). A summary of wildfire activity in Wyoming is up next (10); but wildfires are still causing problems for people in North and South Dakota (11). Another pair of wind-driven wildfires erupted in Nebraska, where a 20,000+ acre wildfire did considerable damage earlier in the week (12). Although the 93,000-acre wildfire burning in Minnesota's Superior National Forest is considered 71% contained, a portion of that fire breached containment lines yesterday (13); while a 30,000-acre wildfire is burning in Northwest Minnesota (14). A 12-acre wildfire was reported in Michigan's Marquette County (15); and a Department of Natural Resources and Environment fire prevention specialist identified the three main causes of wildfires: men, women, and children! (16) Fire officials from Missouri's Ozark Fire Protection District provided some tips to homeowners to help them avoid wildfires during the fall (17); with burn bans being imposed in other parts of that state as well (18). Kentucky Division of Forestry reminded homeowners that the next few weeks constitute the fall portion of the Kentucky Forest Fire Hazard Season (19); while a small wildfire was reported behind an elementary school in Shreveport, Louisiana, yesterday (20). Despite tropical storms and the best efforts of firefighters, Virginia's 6,300-acre Great Dismal Swamp wildfire continues to burn two months later (21); but as North Carolina observes Fire Prevention Week next week, fire officials will remind people that humans cause nine out of ten wildfires (22). An 1,100-acre wildfire that burned on the grounds of the Army's Pohakuloa Training Area in Hawaii has been contained (23); while Canadian firefighters grappled with a wildfire burning in Manitoba's Riding Mountain National Park (24). In Southern Europe, wildfires were reported in Portugal and Macedonia (25); the next item providing some photos from the wildfires in Portugal (26); but firefighters in Russia's Far East have managed to whittle down the wildfires so that only two remain (27). A college student was killed when he was overrun by a wildfire burning in India's Sungankadai forest (28). Heading to Australia, a Black Saturday class-action suit filed by farmers in Victoria is wrapping up after five weeks of testimony (29); while Victoria's Deputy Premier continues to race against the clock to get bushfire refuges in place in some of the more dangerous parts of that state (30). Residents of Central Queensland were reminded of the current bushfire threat by Queensland Fire and Rescue Service (31); the next article taking a look at the impact carbon dioxide given off by bushfires in the Northern Territory is estimated to have on that country's carbon count (32). A man who falsely claimed $5,500 for supposedly suffering losses from Victoria's Black Saturday bushfires is in custody in South Australia (33). And finally, two CL-415 pilots from Ontario, Canada, are keeping firefighting in the family!

Beat the egg yolks with 3/4 cup sugar until light and sugar is dissolved. Stir in the melted butter, nuts, Grand Marnier and candied orange. In a separate bowl beat the egg whites until they just begin to form peeks and gradually beat in remaining 3/4 cup sugar until whites form stiff peaks.
Sift flour and baking powder together and alternately fold 1/3 of flour and egg white mixtures into yolks until well combined. Dough will be firm and slightly sticky. If dough is too soft, add more flour. With floured hands, divide dough into two logs approximately 1-1/2 inches in diameter. Arrange logs on a buttered or parchment lined baking sheet and bake in a preheated 325 degree oven for 20-25 minutes or until logs are lightly brown and firm to the touch. Remove from oven and let logs cool on baking pan on a rack for 10 minutes. On a cutting board, cut logs crosswise on the diagonal into 1/2 inch widths. Arrange biscotti cut side down on baking pan and bake for 5-7 minutes on each side or until biscotti are very lightly browned and crisp. Cool on racks and store air-tight.

New York becomes next major epicenter for coronavirus outbreak, now locked down.
Playdates, picnics in the park, basketball games, etc. are no longer a part of lives for the people of New York. The public transport has been shut down entirely unless essential. The dramatic restrictions came in effect on Sunday to slow down the spread of COVID19. There were possibilities that the state can become one of the world's biggest coronavirus hot spots. Infections have soared across New York state, which now accounts for roughly 5 percent of the world's confirmed cases. Authorities are warning of a critical shortage of medical supplies, the same problem that has seen Spain erecting a field hospital in a convention center. Worldwide, more than 335,000 people have been infected, and more than 14,600 have died, according to Johns Hopkins University.

Congress blasted by Cuomo as Anxious NY, looking to reopen.
To date, 28,000 tri-state lives have been lost to COVID-19. The number of daily hospitalizations has now dropped below 1,000 for the first time. The number of confirmed cases crossed 1 million in the United States. New York alone accounts for close to nearly a third of those. Governor Andrew Cuomo said in a statement that some parts of NY might open when his PAUSE order expires on 15ht May.
New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy said that his shutdown order would remain in effect indefinitely. Agitated Cuomo said Wednesday that more has to be done. He again called out Congress, particularly Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Sen. Rick Scott of Florida, for not helping the states.
Controversies piling up around De Blasio.
The way Mayor of New York City Bill de Blasio handling the COVID-19 pandemic has been attracting controversies. He has received adulation and even calls for a presidential run. However, he is creating a lot of blunders. He has gone explicitly after religious communities for violating social distancing policies. Just before Passover and Easter holidays in late March, he threatened to have churches and synagogues closed down if they held services that did not follow social distancing.
Nearly a month later, the mayor singled out New York Jews after police broke up a funeral in Brooklyn for being too crowded. In the middle of that month, de Blasio specifically encouraged people to go out in public, saying, "If you love your neighborhood bar, go there now." That same day, the mayor announced that schools in the city would be closing.
Rare inflammatory syndrome found in three New York children with COVID-19.
Three children in New York who are being treated for COVID-19 infection are also getting treatment for a rare inflammatory condition. It is similar to the one that has sparked concerns in the UK and Italy. These kids are between 6 months to 8 years of age. The all had fever and inflammation of the heart and the gut. Dr. Mark Gorelik said in his statement that currently, they are at the very beginning of trying to understand the meaning of this combination of diseases.
Of the three New York patients, one is critically ill, one is in intensive care, and the third has been discharged. Italian and British medical experts are investigating a possible link between the coronavirus outbreak and clusters of severe inflammatory disease among infants, who have arrived at the countries' hospitals with high fevers and inflamed arteries.

Joseph Balesteri Profiled in Lawdragon Magazine
Power Rogers Jul 14, 2020
Power Rogers, LLP Partner Joseph Balesteri has been featured in Lawdragon Magazine's Lawyer Limelight, a special feature section that profiles some of the most accomplished and respected trial attorneys in the nation.
The article includes an interview about Joe's successful career, his focus on medical malpractice, and some of his most memorable cases.
Read Lawdragon's full feature on Joseph Balesteri here.
In the interview, Lawdragon focuses on Joe's successful career fighting for victims and families who have suffered as a result of medical negligence, and how, as the son of a cardiologist, he has always had an interest in the medical field.
Although he first began his practice defending healthcare providers, Joe quickly moved to the plaintiffs' side. As Joe tells Lawdragon, representing injured patients and families in complex claims provides a challenge he cherishes, and an opportunity to help real people overcome incredible obstacles in their fight for justice:
"Our system isn't eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth. A patient client can't possibly understand, advocate, argue, and discuss medicine in a recorded session with doctors in their arena, their medical specialty. In a room of lawyers, it's me versus the entire defense team. Unlike other injury cases, in medical malpractice it's one against many.
I treat the occurrence like it happened to my family. I love the challenge of proving the merit of the case to the room. It's an exhilarating adrenaline rush similar to success in sport. The David versus Goliath fight makes the work even more rewarding."
Joe goes on to discuss some of his most memorable cases, clients, and colleagues, as well as his time working as a law clerk for Power Rogers while attending law school. Joe also shares his honest and straightforward approach when it comes to speaking with the firm's potential clients:
"The best advertisement are case results. I keep a list on the firm website of every successful case with a description of facts and court details from my first year at Power Rogers in 2000 until today. I don't talk bad about our competitors, as there are many great lawyers. I just want the client to pick a lawyer they are conformable with, as this is the biggest decision of their lives. Being aggressive and over-selling are not honest and credible. If I don't get the case, while disappointed, it's not about me. The client is all that matters."

Packed in a clear bag with a coordinating grey envelope.
'Terracotta Terrazzo & Stairs' is illustrated by Charlotte Taylor. A long-standing obsession with architecture, interiors and design objects manifests in a collection of papers and cards inspired by postmodernism, brutalism, and ancient architecture. Charlotte's playful illustrations of minimal structures – stairways, arches and the occasional terrazzo floor – combine real and imagined spaces.
Charlotte is interested in non-functional structures; her drawings take existing architectural forms with the addition of fictional and playful elements. Collecting visual material from interior and design magazines combined with her own personal photography; the spaces imagined become an amalgamation of different architectural styles.
Wrap cards are printed on 300gsm uncoated stock using vegetable based inks. The cards are sold individually and are sent packaged in a jiffy bag with a card sheet to prevent bending in transit. Each card measures 13 cm x 19 cm and is paired with a corresponding grey print envelope.

Government wants kindergartens to assess all children's Norwegian language skills before they start school
TOPICS:Guri MelbyNorwegian languageNorwegian language assessmentNorwegian language skills
Photo: Vidar Ruud / NTB
The government wants kindergartens and municipalities to have a duty to assess all children's Norwegian skills before they start school.
Every year, children start school with a lack of Norwegian language skills.
The government has now sent a proposal for consultation according to which all kindergartens and municipalities should have a duty to assess the children's skills in Norwegian.
Today, the children's level in Norwegian is not assessed before school starts.
"Every year, a number of children start school without knowing Norwegian well enough.
"They often struggle to follow the teaching program, and they risk being left behind both academically and socially.
"We must identify these children earlier so that they have the opportunity to develop the language well before school starts," Minister of Education and Integration Guri Melby (V) noted.
Norwegian language assessment
The proposal states that kindergartens should be given responsibility for assessing Norwegian skills and that the assessment should then be passed on to the municipality.
A total of 92% of children between the ages of one and five go to kindergarten in Norway.
According to the proposal, children who do not go to kindergarten will also be assessed, but this responsibility will then be given to the municipality.
Leader Anne Lindbo of the National Association of Private Kindergartens is happy with the proposal.
"In order to take the children seriously and ensure that they reach their full potential, we must ensure that they are best prepared before school starts," she said.

Boeing's Formula to Compete With Airbus After 737 Max Disaster
Julie Johnsson and Benjamin Katz, Bloomberg
- Jun 14, 2019 12:30 pm
Developing an all-new jet takes a decade and costs a fortune. And no one knows what the market will be for planes in the future. Understandably, Boeing is moving slowly. But if the company wants to keep its standing relative to Airbus, it should probably make some new technology airplanes.
— Brian Sumers
Boeing Co. is coming to this year's Paris Air show with some hard choices that will go far in determining who comes out on top in the jetliner duopoly it shares with Airbus SE.
Reeling from the grounding of its most important aircraft in the wake of two deadly crashes, Boeing needs to reconsider its timeline and strategy for new models. Piling on pressure is Airbus's likely unveiling of a long-range variant of its A321 model, potentially siphoning off more business from its U.S. rival in the increasingly important market for midrange planes.
The cat-and-mouse game over jets to be rolled out during the next decade is one of the top issues for Boeing Chief Executive Officer Dennis Muilenburg as he meets customers and faces the public at the industry's biggest gathering, which kicks off June 17 on an airfield north of Paris.
His choices: spend big on a so-called mid-market airplane, or NMA, to stanch customer defections to the A321. Or plow that $15 billion or so into the 737's successor — a scenario that has gained considerable urgency now that the Max grounding is in its fourth month and some customers are considering dropping their orders outright.
If Boeing doesn't strike just the right balance, "Airbus has a clear path to 60% market share for the next 10 to 15 years," said Henri Courpron, chairman and founder of Plane View Partners and a former executive in the aircraft-leasing business. "Airbus is sitting pretty and waiting to see Boeing show its hand."
The dynamic is reminiscent of a showdown in 2011, when Airbus upset the balance of power by pulling in a massive order from American Airlines, a longtime Boeing customer, thanks to a new-engine option on its single-aisle planes. That shocked Boeing into responding with the 737 Max, the model that is now at the heart of the deep crisis buffeting the company.
The European planemaker last year gained control of the A220, the most technologically advanced aircraft in the segment, from struggling Bombardier Inc. Boeing recently countered by forming an commercial-aircraft joint venture with Embraer SA.
Boeing wouldn't discuss its plans for the NMA or an eventual 737 replacement.
"I feel very confident in the Max family of aircraft," Muilenburg said May 29, when asked about a future single-aisle plane. "So we have not changed our expectations on the longevity of that line. But we'll continue to keep an eye on those more distance future product opportunities, as well."
Airbus declined to comment on its plans for any product announcements at the show, the first time that new CEO Guillaume Faury will oversee the action.
XLR Potential
American, India's IndiGo, JetBlue Airways and aviation entrepreneur David Neeleman have all expressed interest in the proposed A321XLR, the new model Airbus is studying to clip sales from Boeing's proposed mid-range jet. The latest A321 would be available by 2023 or 2024, a year ahead of the NMA, with the range to cruise between, say, central Europe and the middle of the U.S.
Airbus already leads in the lucrative sales of the narrow-body planes that form the backbone of most fleets and are favored by budget carriers. Falling further behind would threaten Boeing's ability to command price discounts from suppliers in an industry driven by volume. And its dominance of wide-body jet orders would be eroded if Airbus's sales team took full advantage of their growing customer base, said aerospace consultant Richard Aboulafia.
He even sees a scenario in which the historic relationship between the two duopolists is reversed, "where air transport is identified with Airbus, and Boeing is seen as this second player," said Aboulafia, a vice president at the Teal Group in Fairfax, Virginia.
'Big Mistake'
None of Boeing's options is easy. The planemaker has spent years searching for digital production advances that could bring its planned twin-aisle design closer to a single-aisle jet's costs. While abandoning that effort for a 737 replacement might seem like the right thing to do given the Max backlash, moving too soon could be financially ruinous, turning a trickle of canceled Max orders into a flood.
"I think that would be a big mistake," said Adam Pilarski, senior vice president with Avitas, and a former chief economist and director of strategic planning with Douglas Aircraft Co. "I'm not saying you don't need it — the answer is you do. But do the NMA first, learn from it."
The Boeing NMA would slot into the space left open by its aging 757 and 767 jetliners. Dubbed the 797 by analysts, the plane would also be the only all-new aircraft in an industry that has relied in recent years on upgrading existing air frames, like the A320 family or the 777X, a bigger, more powerful version of Boeing's popular long-range jet.
Max Future
But could Boeing afford two all-new jets? Such decisions are on hold for now, as the company focuses on convincing regulators and the flying public that the Max is safe.
The mounting Max-related bills are staggering: from storing 500-plus planes to the 73 lawsuits, and counting, filed against Boeing so far for the Lion Air crash in October and a fatal Ethiopian Airlines accident in March.
Almost every aspect of the Max crisis is complicated by the jet's significance to Boeing. Prior to the crashes, the 737 was on track to generate about one-third of Boeing's 2019 operating profit, according to George Ferguson, analyst with Bloomberg Intelligence. The company's 4,550 unfilled Max orders would keep its factory busy years into the future.
Boeing still stands by both the Max and its previous goal of rolling out the NMA family by 2025 to span the gap between single-and twin-aisle aircraft. The Chicago-based planemaker is thought to have about 1,000 engineers already working on the NMA, with another experienced corps at the ready through its deal with Embraer. Boeing has yet to finalize a decision on whether to build the NMA, and no announcement is expected until after the Max is flying again.
Aircraft 'Leapfrog'
Potential buyers of the NMA, from Qatar Airways to Delta Air Lines Inc., remain interested in an all-new design specifically tailored to 5,000 nautical mile flying. Even Neeleman, a potential XLR launch customer, said last month the Boeing plane "would fit very well with what we're doing."
Given that the two aircraft manufacturers are bound together in a global duopoly, Boeing may be able to change the dynamics to its advantage. Should it decide to go with the NMA but design it in a way that it can also replace the Max, that may turn the tables and put pressure on Airbus to respond.
"These guys leapfrog each other," Neeleman said. "They take what the other guy had and try to better it."

California To Ban Gas Cars
Click Here To See The Comments
California To Ban Gasoline and Diesel Cars by 2035
California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) signed an order that California bans gas cars by 2035. The ban only covers sales of vehicles, but it remains one of the boldest US measures made to fight climate.
RELATED: Tesla To Sell New Stock To Raise $5 Billion Capital
The executive order requires all new vehicles sold in the state to be zero-emission by 2035. This includes battery-powered, hydrogen fuel cell-running, or plug-in hybrids. California ban gas cars and trucks can reduce these emissions by 35%. Recent movements in Europe pushed for strict clean-air and greenhouse-gas requirements for vehicles. Around 15 countries committed to cleaning up, including Germany, France, and Norway. Even China got into the act a few years ago and pushed for zero-emission cars. As such, California already enforces emission rules stricter than federal standards. This new law now raises the stakes further in favor of electric vehicles.
Ban on Selling, Not Owning
Vehicles are responsible for over 40% of the greenhouse emissions in the state. The California ban gas cars cover the selling of combustible engine vehicles. It ends the sale of new gasoline-powered cars. State residents can still own gas or diesel cars or sell them in the secondhand market. According to IHS Markit, California owns more than 11% of all registered light vehicles in the U.S. last year. As of July, 6.2% of light vehicles in California were electric-powered, or 1.6% in the nation.
The order directs the California Air Resources Board (CARB) to craft the guidelines. It added that trucks and construction vehicles should also be zero-emission by 2045. During the signing, Newsom said that "Of all the simultaneous crises that we face as a state…none is more forceful than the issue of the climate crisis. What we're advancing here today is a strategy to address that crisis head-on, to be as bold as the problem is big."
The automotive trade group Alliance for Automotive Innovation is hesitant. Chief executive
John Bozzella said his members are committed to expanding EV models, but mandates like this one aren't the best way to do so. He said: "What builds successful markets is widespread stakeholder engagement."
A Ford Motor Co. spokesman said: "We agree with Gov. Newsom that it is time to take urgent action to address climate change…Progress requires public-private partnerships, smart infrastructure, and key resources that encourage consumers to invest in electrified products."

To make this work, California will need new statewide charging infrastructure. It would also need to upgrade its aging power infrastructure to support that. At the same time, the state's thousands of gasoline stations will need help in their phaseout.
Running Afoul of The White House
The Trump White House didn't make the announcement kindly. White House spokesman Judd Deere noted the lengths Democrats will go. He said: "This is yet another example of how extreme the left has become. They want the government to dictate every aspect of every American's life, and the lengths to which they will go to destroy jobs and raise costs on the consumer is alarming. President Trump won't stand for it."
A legal fight may be in the works from the Oval Office. The federal government is fighting California over its auto emission rules. In 2018, Trump followed through on a campaign promise to cut regulatory red tape. The EPA announced it will scrap Obama-era vehicle emissions and fuel economy standards. Trump remarked he is taking away California's power to set its own emissions standards. As a result, states led by California sued the agency in 2019, and the case is currently before the appeals court in D.C.
Elections, SCOTUS Can Make or Break This Case
Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg's replacement might play a big role. If the GOP pushes through with a nominee and installs a justice, this could work in their favor. A conservative majority on the Supreme Court could strike down the California program. But this hinges on Trump winning the election in November. On the other hand, if Democrat Joe Biden wins, federal opposition would most likely stop.
Watch this as Bloomberg reports that the California ban gas cars sales in 2035:
Do you plan to switch to an electric vehicle before 2035?
Please Select One:
Yes. Our next vehicle should be environmentally friendly to keep up with the times.
Not in a rush. It's 15 years for California, and more everywhere else.
Nah. Good ol' American muscle beats any new model.
I'm not even done on the lease for the current ride I have.
California started the EV ball rolling, and other states might follow suit. Do you have plans to shift to an electric vehicle soon? Or, do you plan to hold on the old gas guzzler until the wheels fall off? Let us know what you think of California's initiative by commenting below.
Ernest Lane says:
How can any Governor say what's supposed to happen 15 years in the future, when he's long gone?
Masterrredfox says:
Without making it easier to use a non-gas vehicle in all geographic areas, this strikes me as a very impossible venture for everyone. Yeah, the ultra-rich will have their private hookups but I don't see this option available for public parking. Even now, in most urban settings, there are few if any places to park and charge up and I don't see landlords making that investment to their parking facilities without passing the cost on to the users. Even now all public parking has a parking fee to cover a certain amount of hours which has to be paid. It is nice to have a goal but make it applicable to the entire population. California is notorious for making obscure regulations without formulating a plan of action that will work for everyone. Just look at their housing problem which is based on variances of an outdated use of the land based on a lower population than the present.

The Wretched of "the East"
In this digital exhibition we explore episodes of what we call "the East". The stories you will see here are fragmented and unfinished, somehow connected with each other because they all talk about experiences of migration, racism, gender and exploitation, yet they remain chaotic and disorganised.
This virtual mess may be frustrating at first sight, but it was the closest thing we could possibly get to representing this mosaic of diversity and experiences that we call "the East": trying to put some order into it will inevitably fail, yet the viewers are invited to explore the connections we are drawing and create new ones for themselves.
What we call "the East" is not a single geographical or geopolitical reality. Rather, it is a historically and politically constructed space defined by antagonisms: pre-1989 and post-1989, capital exploitation and labor struggles, migrating in the search for better opportunities and being pushed back outside of the borders of "Fortress Europe", feminist emancipation and right wing counterrevolution. The East has, on the one hand, been forced to "catch up" with the West, yet it also penetrates the West – most significantly through the bodies of people crossing borders in the search for a better life – and thus confronts the West's own impotence.
Yet, the East is not just an innocent spectator of its "doomed destiny", but also a perpetrator of acts of brutality and violence. Nothing has shown this clearer than the silent pack between the East Nothing has demonstrated this clearer than the silent pact between the East and West on how to handle migrants entering from the outside, the consequences of which we have most recently seen on the Polish-Belarusian border. Their situation puts the division between East and West directly into question. After all, the East is a matter of perspective: from the perspective of Germany, Poland is in the East, but what is Poland from the perspective of the refugees dying on its borders?
Still, we refuse to give up hope. The challenge for us is to be fully aware that we are in a crack, but to also show that even so, we continue to fight back and struggle.
The episodes in this digital exhibition feature moments of despair, but also moments of solidarity, struggle and hope. The mindmap in the centre is an initial attempt to understand our own context, connect it to bigger topics and visualize it. It is unfinished and big pieces are still missing – its potential to become more elaborate and interconnected in the future is unlimited. The boxes forming a circle around the mindmap show some concrete and a few more meta examples of previous and ongoing struggles in our region and beyond. We hope this is the beginning of a political reflection, not its end.
Explore the whole exhibition in the interactive Miro platform
Explore single elements of the exhibition
The starting point for us was a political brainstorming about the East represented in this mindmap…
A central point of departure for us was the unfolding situation on the Polish-Belarusian border where refugees from Afghanistan and Iraq are being pushed back by Polish authorities. As of today, at least five people have lost their lives due to hunger and hypothermia. The exhibition provides quotes from chats and conversations with the refugees and videos of the situation...
"We are sitting between the wires of Poland and Belarus. What are we supposed to do? You know in whose hands Afghanistan is. Our country was taken by the Taliban and what are we supposed to do? We are surrounded by barbed wire. We ask you very much, let Poland have mercy on us. If you won't give us protection, at least save us from death. You know that we cannot return to our country. If we could, I wouldn't stay here for a second."
"Give us shelter at least for a while so that we don't die. We ask the Polish people to ask their government to help us. You will take us away from here, then you will decide what to do with us. If we stay here 2 or 3 more days, I am sure we will die. Then you will decide if we go back to Afghanistan. Neither side wants to take us out of here. If we stay here and die, will you take care of our dead bodies?"
The discussion on the situation on the Polish-Belarusian border inspired further reflections in the group on related topics…
"there is work everyone has to do
if the east is wretched what about the west, the souths, the norths
what about places lost, erased by history or wars.
Appropriated
we all live beyond the borders of the describers
states are communities with more paper work
Refugees are the people,
labors
I come from a country whose guard and save
I leave in a country which is guarded and imagined"
We also reflected on the so-called migration crisis in 2013-2015 and the way it was played out in our context…
Balkan Refugee Trail – A pathwaY for European Solidarity
"The Schengen area has never been an area of human rights, open borders inside the EU are connected to closed external borders. But Croatia disregards even the minimum standards of European law, which are laid down in the Schengen Borders Code. And for this they receive political support from Germany and the EU," comments Karl Kopp, head of the European Department of PRO ASYL."
And we explored how the situation 2013-2015 was framed in the public imagination…
"Diary notes about my discussion with a neighbour – a single mother in her mid-to late 40s – in Budapest in Autumn 2015, when thousands of refugees stranded in front of the Keleti station.
…At one point I suggested that she can visit Keleti train station herself (15 minutes walk from where we live. She said she has no courage to go to Keleti and she is very scared because there might be diseases spreading already, such as Ebola.
I myself think that being a caring person as she is, it would be extremely hard for her to go to Keleti train station and face the suffering and abandonment of thousands of people. It would be hard to reconcile what she would see at Keleti – families, children, elderly, disabled, spending days and nights on cement pavements, with toddlers crawling out of yoga mattresses – with what she heard and saw on media – angry young man creating immanent threat to wellbeing of Hungarian society. "
Drawings of 12-18 years' old unaccompanied minors from Syria and Iraq, after a talk on the theme: "When I for the first time realized that violence is existing?"
The reflection on the migrant situation also led to the migration of workers from Eastern Europe to the West (and back)…
"Nina works in Austria as a care taker for elderly people. She is from the village of Armeniș, Romania.
She goes away for contract of a few months and she comes home for some weeks to take care of the household, involve in agricultural chores and to be to the husband.
She is the major bread winner of the family. She goes to Austria to make euro, to improve the situation at home.
She sometimes buys second hand house hold goods from Austria and she finds ways to bring them at home. Here we can see as examples a pot and a washing machine.
She is not afraid to take on the adventure of leaving home. She knows already the contractors. The transportation is made with certain companies that only transport caretakers of other workers."
The migranting workers from our contexts are also often those who fought for better working conditions and decent lives…
"Bulgarian nurse on the reasons for protesting for better working conditions (2019):
"I work in a government hospital in the capital. In what conditions? Similar to the conditions of 80% of our profession, I guess. 10 doctors and two nurses on day shift or a nurse alone on night duty. The patients have one of the most severe diagnoses. Accordingly, this has had a rather detrimental effect on their psyche, sometimes leading to more peculiar behaviour. But it doesn't matter, because since we're "willing" nurses, we're mostly compassionate and understanding, right? But some people's treatment of us as servants is quite insulting. Some doctors are also treated like that. Over time, it crushed my self-esteem.""
A nurse who barricaded herselve in the Bulgarian parlament is forced by a security guard to stay for more than 40 minutes on the balcony of the building (March 2020).
When their working conditions are not changing, workers are migrating towards Western Europe. What working conditions await them there…
"I work in Germany as a carer. On a civil contract signed in Bulgaria insurance of 2h. on 60 euro to Promedica 24 do not pay and earned bonuses. The pay is determined by the knowledge of German and not appreciated work which we do around the clock. I want an employment contract signed in Germany health and pension insurance in Germany 20 days paid annual leave hourly pay fixed working hours 1 day off per week. Because the companies and families, it suits them, we are the slaves of Eastern Europe, we only have obligations and no rights."
"For more than a year now, migrant workers from countries outside the European Union who are present in France can hardly renew their residence permits with the authorities, as the French administration requires them to make an appointment only online, as the offices have been inaccessible since the Covid 19 pandemic. As a result, many residence permits are not renewed on time and many migrant workers in the catering and cleaning industries lose their jobs because the work permit no longer exists. Faced with this, migrants, collectives, associations and NGOs decided to lead a counter-offensive, the courts were seized, and the State was condemned to reopen its services, and a huge mobilisation at national level took place last year, bringing together many collectives across the country…"
Yet, the challenge of our work and position is to make hope possible…

I DIY'd My Beauty Routine
I Switched To A Homemade Beauty Routine — & Here's What Happened
Taylor Bryant
Photographed by Tory Rust.
There are two types of beauty people in the world: those who swear by the all-natural, no preservatives, no chemicals, no bad-stuff-whatsoever life — and those who don't even bother to glance at the ingredient list. Until a couple of months ago, I fell into the latter camp. If it worked, I didn't care what the hell was in it. Then, I started doing research for a story about the best and worst ingredients for your hair type and quickly changed my tune. There's some scary (and hard-to-pronounce) stuff out there, folks.
Now, I've obviously never been one to shame the chemical users (probably because I used to be one of them). But I did start to wonder what would happen if I tried my hand at making my very own skin and hair care (it's all the rage, after all) — with ingredients I can actually spell.
I'll be honest: From researching which ingredients worked for what, to sourcing them (why does Whole Foods need to carry 500 different coconut oils?), to scouring the internet for recipes, it was overwhelming AF. Luckily, I had DIY guru Adina George of S.W. Basics, who recently launched a line of single-ingredient products, and natural-hair blogger Whitney White (a.k.a. Naptural85) to hold my hand.
The first bit of advice George gave me was: Don't complicate things. "I think the biggest reason people decide to not do something like this is because they think it's going to be such a huge endeavour — almost akin to making your own food for a month instead of going out or ordering in. But it doesn't have to be like that, especially if you don't get caught up in making super-sophisticated recipes every day."
Another thing I learned quickly was to lower my aesthetic expectations for my homemade beauty creations. "It's not always beautiful, it doesn't always even smell magical, but you can throw some pretty ugly shit in a bathtub and it'll feel amazing," George says. "So be patient, and don't think that you're going to come out with something that looks like your typical L'Oréal cream."
With these tidbits in mind, I ventured boldly into DIY territory. One disclaimer: I didn't overhaul my entire beauty routine, nor did I test out all of the recipes at once (I wanted to be able to clearly pinpoint what worked and didn't). Ahead, my favourite (and least favourite) recipes from my homegrown beauty experiment.

One of the biggest literary agencies in the world won the right to represent the most successful book in the past 20 year, in Romania (over 65.000 copies sold so far), as shown by Rao publishing. The novel of the Romanian writer will be represented in the whole world by Trident Media Group (TMG) which holds the first place in selling rights to big American publishing houses, in the last 10 years. Furthermore, Igor Bergler will be represented by the agency vice-president, Scott Miller.
"Over few months in which I presented the book to different literary agencies worldwide, I received more than 100 enthusiastic answers and 26 agencies – from Germany, Italy, Spain, Latin America, Turkey and Brazil, Great Britain and Portugal and so on, as well as from China, Taiwan or India – read the book and wanted very much to have it in their portfolio", declared Igor Bergler.
"When I received the offer from Trident Media Group I knew I could not choose anybody else. Being represented by one of the vice-presidents of this agency, which is a global leader in the area of selling author rights, is something which cannot be refused. I wanted it very much and I never imagined that this can happen for real. Anyway, this type of international validation says a lot. Firstly, Romanian readers who bought in such a big number the book "The Lost Bible" are synchronized with what is written at the moment in the world and that their taste are not local or particular, but universal", completed the author.
The book "The Lost Bible" was publish at the end of 2015 and its subject moves around a plot woven on a thriller canvas, filled with murders, mysteries, not missing keywords as Dracula, Gutenberg's Bible and Transylvania.


The JSPS Washington Office is pleased to announce a new short-term Fellowship through the US JSPS Alumni Association (AA). It aims to extend and expand the researchers network developed between AA members and the researchers in Japan, increase the benefit of membership, and encourage more former fellows to join the Alumni Association.

Using Algae to Manufacture a Malaria Vaccine
August 18, 20174 Min Read
A parasite called Plasmodium falciparum, transmitted by mosquitoes, causes malaria in humans
Nearly half of the world's population lives in areas where malaria threatens human health
Researchers are using algae to genetically clone a possible malaria vaccine for mosquitoes
Malaria is a deadly, blood-borne disease transmitted by mosquitoes carrying the Plasmodium parasite. An infected mosquito or a "malaria vector" can be considered a liaison of sorts, traveling from an infected person to its next victim. Dr. Joseph Vinetz, a professor at the University of California- San Diego, and his team are collaborating on a promising new vaccine candidate to combat malaria using algae. To learn more, cSw spoke to Dr. Joseph Vinetz about his work.
QUESTION: What about infectious diseases appealed to you?
ANSWER: I think I liked them because they were unusual. They were gross and kind of disgusting because of the pus and worms. I was also always interested in evolution, which has to do with how things interact in the environment. Infectious disease, I think, turned out to be a very good model for that.
Q: Have there been any significant advancements in malaria research and treatment?
A: In my personal opinion, and this is shared by a small number of people in the field, we think that preventing populations of people from infecting mosquitoes would be the most effective way to eradicate malaria. This is quite controversial, and very few resources are put into it, but the science is very logical. It is the opposite of the usual approach of a vaccine that prevents mosquitoes from infecting people. What we're discussing today is how to make a malaria vaccine to inject into people so that family and friends and neighbors don't get infected. That's called a transmission blocking vaccine. If you prevent people from infecting the mosquitoes, we reason and argue with data, then we can interfere with the malaria life cycle.
Q: How did you know that algae would be effective in your study?
A: Dr. Stephen Mayfield, another professor at UC San Diego, focuses on algae and understanding the biology of algae. He came to me and said "Joe, are you interested in collaborating with me on making a malaria vaccine in algae?" And I was. He's an algae expert and I'm a malaria expert, so it's a great collaboration.
Q: Could you describe what the protein Pfs25 is and how it relates to your vaccine?
A: The parasite that causes malaria has a protein called Pfs25 on its surface and that parasite lives in the gut of a mosquito. The idea for this vaccine is that after being vaccinated, people's immune system will make antibodies that will work against Pfs25. When a mosquito sucks blood out of somebody with malaria who has been vaccinated with this protein, both the antibodies and the parasite would go into the mosquito's gut. This combination would block the parasite's ability to infect the mosquito. The trick is that the Pfs25 protein isn't made by the parasite in a human, only by the parasite in the gut of the mosquito. So to use it in a vaccine, you have to make the Pfs25 protein in a laboratory. To do that, we made the protein recombinantly in algae. In other words, we genetically modified algae to make this protein, like a little Pfs25-manufacturing factory. Then we purified that protein and made it into a vaccine. So far, we have tested it in mice. We're still very excited about trying to push the science ahead so that we can test the vaccine in people someday.
While there is no current vaccine for malaria, countless infectious disease researchers like Dr. Vinetz and his team are working to give us hope for the future. With their help, people all over the world may someday view a mosquito as a nuisance rather than a killer.
SCIENCE STAR
Dr. Joseph Vinetz is an infectious disease specialist based La Jolla, California. He graduated from Yale University in 1991 and completed his training in internal medicine at Johns Hopkins University. He has been studying the malaria parasite for over 28 years and has been working on a candidate vaccine for malaria for over twenty years. His accomplishments aren't limited to advancements in understanding in malaria as he has also been researching other tropical diseases like leptospirosis and brucellosis. In addition, Dr. Vinetz is a talented clarinetist.

I just finished another adventure/thriller from an author I used to like. I say, used to like, because though he may have done some head-hopping in his past books, in this one, he throws away any pretense of structure and went for total chaos.
Though there's supposed to be a main hero in the story, it's told through the eyes of whoever happens to be performing any action. That means as things progress from paragraph to paragraph, regardless of scenes, chapters or sometimes within a paragraph, the POV shifts to the inner thoughts of the character performing the action. That would include even minor characters including, as the author likes to call them, the "Goons," nameless bad guys. What???
This seems to be a growing trend, even from my very myopic view of reading material. I read horror, adventure/thrillers and mysteries for the most part, and never first person, so my choices are limited.
Head-hopping would not be a problem in first person, of course. Yet in third person it can be a huge problem. I have no idea how bad it could be in other genres. To the non-writer/editor/knowledgeable person, they may never notice the difference. What they may figure out is that they can make no emotional connection or investment with any one character. The story is a jumble of characters doing something. That's exactly the feeling I got from this story.
The main character and his buddy were merely the glue holding the rest of the story together. As soon as the main characters ran into someone else, the author jumped right out of their heads and left them in the dust until they did something else which might not have been for several pages or even a chapter.
Am I looking too deep into this? Am I too hung up on rules to truly enjoy a book that doesn't follow them?
I think back on the books where I liked the stories but there was just something about the writing that bugged me. I mentioned this before in the past few articles on POV. These rules came about for a purpose. To make for better reading. When there's no character to concentrate on, who do you root for? When there are several good guys, even though you may know the number one good guy, why should you care so much about him when there are plenty of other good guys with their own stories to care for? Good guy #1 may be driving things, sort of, but when the author keeps leaving him in the dust to dive into the heads of good guy #2, #3 and #4 all the time, why should you care about #1?
The same could be said for the bad guys in this story. Bad guy #1 didn't even know what was going on until the last quarter of the book. His henchmen came along by accident, were dispatched by the heroes before it even came to bad guy #1's attention. He never even met or confronted any of the good guys face-to-face at the end. Huh?
Despite all, I enjoyed the story, just wasn't thrilled with it. Will I buy the next one? I don't know. Does this book sound like something you'd want to read? I've come across two adventure thrillers now with this head-hopping style. I hope it isn't the trend of the future. If these guys think they have to know the rules before they can break them, they certainly didn't do their homework.

21 Popular Films That Should Be Adapted Into Horror Movies (Hollywood, Please Give Me A Call)
After hitting the public domain, the storybook character Winnie the Pooh will get a new horror retelling in the film Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey.
12:01 AM – 26 May 2022
Twitter: @IGN
If Pooh can be spooky, then everything is fair game! Here are 21 films I would like to (eventually) see adapted into horror movies:
Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures
Beloved Disney songs aside, there's a lot of potential in Arabian jinns for horror. There have been a couple of horror movies dealing with jinns, but a horror film based on the story of "Aladdin and the Magic Lamp" could really creep out viewers.
Be careful what you wish for.
My horror movie description: A destitute young man finds a magic lamp only to discover his wishes shape his life into a living nightmare.
The closest movie comparison: The Djinn
The formula worked for Freddy Krueger, so why not take the stunning visuals from Inception and switch the film's genre into a terrifying psychological horror? Possibilities are endless, especially keeping a focus on free will and toxic/intrusive tactics people use to manipulate others.
My horror movie description: A woman discovers a group of men is trying to plant an idea inside her mind by entering her dreams, and they won't leave until they get what they want.
The closest film comparison: A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors
RKO Radio Pictures
The original is a Christmas classic, but this horror adaptation would focus on the elements at the movie's end when George Bailey wishes he was never born. There's an opportunity for a thought-provoking thriller with dark and supernatural elements. Imagine Clarence as a dark angel instead of George's guardian angel.
My horror movie description: A man's life falls into chaos after an angel makes it so he was never born.
The closest film comparison: The Forgotten
Obviously, the story would revolve around Sid's hybrid toys. The ones in Toy Story are friendly and helpful, but an adaption would offer a less friendly bunch of mutated toys.
My horror movie description: A troubled boy is convinced his much-abused toys are alive and trying to harm him.
The closest film comparison: Child's Play or Puppet Master.
The feeling of being watched is one of the most used tropes in horror, so to make that the focus for an entire horror flick would make for an intense and gripping ride. My only major change: We never see the people behind the camera. Everything being implied, shown but never told, would be chilling.
My horror movie description: A man slowly starts to realize his life in a perfect town plays out like a television show, and no one will let him leave.
The closest film comparison: The Cabin in the Woods
Great Scott!
There are only a few horror movies that deal with time travel, but it would be cool to see the greatest time travel film get a horror makeover. It'd be interesting to place Marty's parents in danger by his presence interrupting the space-time continuum. Whatever horror trope is added to endanger Marty's family would really up the stakes of finding a way home.
My horror movie description: A teen boy accidentally travels to the past and disrupts events that puts his parents lives in jeopardy…and his own.
The closest film comparison: The Last Night in Soho
There were rumors back in 2017 about a horror adaptation by New Line Cinema. No new updates recently, but I would love to see a thematically dark retelling, while still using colorful sets that pop on the screen. Instead of a beat-for-beat remake, get weird with it!
My horror movie description: A girl and her dog find themselves in a distant world full of terrifying monsters controlled by a wicked witch.
The closest film comparison: Return to Oz
Waterworld
As someone that thinks living on open water sounds like a nightmare, the premise of Waterworld has MASSIVE horror potential. A lawless world where anything goes, and there is nowhere to run or hide.
My horror movie description: In a dystopian water-covered world, a mother must protect her daughter from a sadistic gang.
The closest film comparison: The Purge
I feel like a majority of movies dealing with detective work can be spun into a psychological horror film. A horror adaptation of Miss Congeniality can keep or scrap the "bomb" element of the original, but the important pivot is to keep it as a grounded slasher flick.
My horror movie description: A member of the Miss United States beauty pageant is taking out the competition…literally.
The closest film comparison: I Know What You Did Last Summer
There are many layers to the creepiness of the Roald Dahl classic, but I think making Wonka a more sinister character would be a must for a horror adaptation. Think of him as a more sadistic Walt Disney. A chocolatier turned chocolate-killer!
"There is no earthly way of knowing which direction we are going."
My horror movie description: Children win a tour of a chocolate factory only to learn that their golden ticket is more than they bargained for because the factory owner isn't who they had expected.
The closest film comparison: No comparison.
File this under the horror sub-genre: "dudes being creeps." There are plenty of ways they can go with a horror version of this film. Full balls-to-the-wall serial killer or more subtle red flags that the leading businessman is a stalker.
My horror movie description: A sex worker develops a relationship with a businessman only to learn about his terrifying hidden life.
The closest film comparison: American Psycho
A hard horror remake (not an action blockbuster) of Van Helsing could be like the Avengers of creature features.
Universal refuses to give audiences straight-up horror remakes of their classic monster movies. The only example I can think of is Invisible Man, and they hit a grand slam.
My horror movie description: A college student accompanies an older man tracking something sinister in the night.
The closest comparison: Van Helsing (TV series) or Troll Hunter
Buena Vista Pictures Distribution
There is a very cool and original hybrid story of "undead pirates" and a "werewolf-like curse" present in the original that goes together like peanut butter and fluff. The element of being trapped on a ship with these undead souls only ups the stakes.
My horror movie description: A woman lost at sea finds herself onboard a ship crewed by pirates that carry a dark secret once they step underneath the moonlight.
The closest film comparison: Zombie Pirates
The jolly green prowler is back at it again, and he wants blood! Okay, maybe that's a little too far, but I could easily see the Grinch headlining as a creature feature star. I'm worried that, despite all the garlic in his soul, we're stepping too close to Krampus terror-tory.
My horror movie description: An outsider that lives on a mountaintop terrorizes a small town on Christmas Eve.
The closest film comparison: Krampus
This horror adaptation can go two ways: the father being the antagonist or the person meeting the family. I feel like this movie would have more creepy vibes than slasher. Possibilities are endless with the simple trope of meeting a loved one's parents.
My horror movie description: A man meets his partner's parents only to discover the father has a lot of skeletons in his closet.
The closest film comparison: Get Out
When I heard DC was working on a standalone Joker film, I seriously had my fingers crossed for a horror film. People are obsessed with the Joker being presented as "cool/likable" for some reason, but I'd like to see an adaption of the Clown Prince that would give Batman nightmares. This would have to be very grounded to avoid Pennywise comparisons.
My horror movie description: A mother protects her daughter from a neighbor on their apartment floor who dresses like a clown.
The closest film comparison: Rear Window
Now, hear me out: Chicken Run, but with humans. I imagine A24 would cook up something wild. Picture yourself locked in a den, waiting to become someone's supper.
My horror movie description: People find themselves trapped on a farm that processes humans like chickens.
The closest film comparison: Saw
I think Bring it On would make for a terrific teen scream. It doesn't have to be a slasher, but def a horror thriller. I imagine vibes like Jennifer's Body (without the supernatural elements) where the movie does not take itself too seriously. The poster could just be blood dripping off of spirit fingers.
My horror movie description: A cheer team catches an obsessed rival squad stealing their routine, which leads to the rivals terrorizing them.
The closest film comparison: All Cheerleaders Die
Being alone anywhere at night is creepy. Now, imagine being a watchman inside of a museum full of creepy wax figures. When you take the jokes out of the original family flick, the concept is actually pretty scary.
My horror movie description: A night watchman is convinced the wax figures inside a museum are trying to kill him.
The closest film comparison: House of Wax
Buena Vista Distribution Company, Inc.
I think any movie with supernatural elements can be flipped into a horror film. Mary Poppins as a horror is an idea people on the internet have teased before, and I'm people on the internet.
My horror movie description: Two children are convinced their nanny has supernatural powers and the desire to punish them if they step out of line.
The closest film comparison: The Turning
I want a disturbing, horrifying, and gruesome A Christmas Carol retelling. I want to retain the redemption story but do it in a way that isn't necessarily a happy ending for Scrooge. I would love for Blumhouse to take a stab at this. And if they need help, my DMs are always open.
My horror movie description: Spirits haunt a greedy businessman and show him the horrors of his past, present, and future.
The closest film comparison: A Christmas Carol (2018 miniseries)
