Revisiting BLOOD SIMPLE. Reminds Us Where That Coen Brothers Genius Came from
Posted by M. Arbeiter on July 4, 2016
Returning to Blood Simple. after three subsequent decades of Coen Brothers movies is an interesting undertaking. On the one hand, Blood Simple. predicts the expert temperament for which the directing duo have been addressed as living legends. Long, dry conversations between Dan Hedaya and M. Emmet Walsh unearth the roots of the kind of drawling double talk that'd approach perfection in Barton Fink and O Brother Where Art Thou. Dreadful traipses through thick sheaths of tension, notably throughout the backrooms of the Hedaya's character's deliciously creepy bar, plant the seeds for what would sprout into masterpiece in Fargo and No Country for Old Men.
On the other hand, the Coens' 1984 debut doesn't speak in quite the same rhythms as the rest of their filmography, as should be expected from the earliest turnout of any artist with as vivid a penmanship as the pair. The ambiance of Blood Simple. are considerably more fluid than the thick, stale air of just about each one of the Coen dramas from Miller's Crossing onward. Speech patterns don't reach the level of verse that we see in everything from The Hudsucker Proxy straight through Hail, Caesar!.
Though it's unfair to hold Blood Simple. up against any of the Coen projects it preceded, it's almost impossible to consider the film in vacuum. Approaching Blood Simple. here and now in 2016, by way of its 4K restoration, anyone who's spent even nominal time with the directors in the interim years would be hard-pressed to not compare the "philosophizing" of M. Emmet Walsh's two-bit gun-for-hire up to the solemn ruminations of Tommy Lee Jones at the end of No Country, the skulking cat-and-mouse game in Frances McDormand's unlit studio apartment up to the doom-filled climax of Fink—or McDormand's performance itself up to every other she has given in a Coen-helmed feature.
This is such a difficult task because of the very fact that you can evoke such a specific picture simply by mentioning the Coen name. In the 32 years to pass since Blood Simple. hit theaters, the Minnesota-born brothers have become an entity that transcends any and all of their films; their voice and aesthetic seems to exist between features, stringing the lot together in some kind of unspoken cinematic universe.
As such, deviation from this system will undoubtedly be met with a reaction all its own. It doesn't matter if the deviation is negative, such as in the uniquely attitude-deficient True Grit, or positive, as you might say of Inside Llewyn Davis (which I'd call the most naturalistic of the duo's recent films, and the very best thing they've directed to date). This "break from routine"—even in the case of revisiting Blood Simple., which predated the routine—is something you're bound to shoulder even in your most dutiful efforts to consider the film on its own terms.
As such, it's tough for me to say if Blood Simple. thrives solely on its contemporaneous accomplishments—reinventing the Hitchcockian thriller through the lens of Peckinpah—or on the trust in its directors that we carry into a viewing. I'm not entirely sure if the chills I get watching actors like Hedaya and McDormand navigate this damp, dimly lit story about deceit and betrayal because I can see the film breaking through the genre output of its day, or because I'm able to spot the earliest, rawest signifiers of the Coens' genius. Either way, the highs are there.
They permeate Hedaya's magnetic corrosion, that which renders him ever the more monstrous as the movie creeps onward. Just as we occasionally sympathize with this emotionally crippled creature, we see glimmers of demonism in our ostensible hero, McDormand. Her strength and survivalism make her our natural buoy, though we're only inclined to trust her for so long.
This wickedness is a staple of the Coen brand; it drips from every corner of Blood Simple., whose main driving force is to reveal the pinnacle of darkness in every character and setting it introduces. Slowly and surely, we reach peak menace in all elements presented, and that patient amble is where the film mines its gold.
No, Blood Simple. is not the most charming or the most exciting Coen film, and will perhaps never hold up to the legion of crime capers, dry comedies, and existential spirals down the drain of the New York folk music scene that the directing brothers have delivered ever since. Its relative independence from the Coen tongue is likely what will keep it in the shadow of the Barton Finks, Fargos, No Countrys, and Llewyn Daviss for the rest of time. But it's not on name alone that Blood Simple. founded that lineage—in the lyricism, the patience, and the doom, we see hints of the legacy yet to come.

Ecuador: The 'drone revolution' against Moreno's IMF package
On October 7, 2019 May 13, 2020 By emmaclancy
By Denis Rogatyuk.
"Se acabó la zanganería".
With this phrase, President of Ecuador Lenin Moreno announced the end of the 40-year long policy of fuel and petrol subsidies that traditionally benefited the working class population. "Zánganos" (or drones) is a slang term traditionally used by the richer parts of society to refer to the workers and the poor as 'mindless' or 'uneducated', once again reflecting the neoliberal president's classist attitudes of disgust towards Ecuador's working class.
Overnight, the slang turned into a buzzword used by Moreno's opponents to refer to themselves and the new movement as "la revolución de los zánganos" (the drone revolution).
Following this shock economic measure, the past week has seen a series of large demonstrations across the country, as a new package of neoliberal reforms was presented by the Moreno government in a bid to satisfy the demands of the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
The latest explosion of mass protests was caused by the government's announcement on October 1 of a series of new economic measures designed to reduce "wasteful" public spending and further balance the budget. The most controversial measure of all has been the complete elimination of the fuel and petrol subsidies, in place since the 1970s, thus directly contributing to a 123 per cent rise in the price of diesel and similar increases for other fuels. Furthermore, the package introduces a 20 per cent cut to the salary of public employees, and the initiation of plans to privatise pensions and to remove safeguards to workers' conditions and job security.
'State of emergency' declared
Foreseeing the likelihood and the magnitude of protests against his government, Moreno declared a "national state of emergency" and proceeded to deploy both the police and the military against protests in the capital Quito and other areas around the country.
Among the most visible political forces leading the protests have been the Citizens' Revolution Movement (MRC) of former left-wing President Rafael Correa, as well as a number of social and trade union organisations, such as the United Workers' Front (FUT), the CONAIE indigenous organisation and the Popular Front (FP) political party. Furthermore, both transport workers' unions and the taxi drivers' associations announced strike action on October 3, bringing several cities around the country to halt, among them Quito and Cuenca.
The province of Pichincha converted into the epicentre of popular struggle, with more than 10,000 taking in part in the strike and the protests. Although the transport workers suspended the strike action on October 5, the protests by other organisations, particularly the indigenous, have shown no signs of stopping.

The state of emergency itself has been severely criticised by Correa's MRC as being unconstitutional, as it lacks any specific parameters regarding proportionality, legality, temporality, territoriality and rationality (as mandated in the constitution) and is widely considered as a measure of preventing mass-scale uprisings in major cities that overthrew the neoliberal governments of Jamil Mahuad in 2000 and Lucio Gutiérez in 2005.
A total of 350 arrests have been made since the protests began on October 2, including of several activists from the transport unions, while more than 20 people have been injured around the country. In the city of Caymabe, Pichincha, the police are reported to have used live ammunition against the protestors. During the transport workers' strike of October 3-5, several delegates and local leaders were detained by the police in the city of Cuenca, and a further four members of the taxi drivers' associations were arrested on October 4 in relation to the strikes.
Moreno's right turn
The cuts to the fuel subsidies have only served to fan the flames of popular discontent that has been spreading across the country since Moreno's neoliberal economic turn and the embrace of authoritarianism.
On the economic front, Moreno has attempted to consistently discredit Correa's (highly successful and popular) economic strategy of combining increased social spending with public investment in major infrastructure and energy projects, and the diversification of the economy away from oil through the building of a new productive matrix.
Instead, his government has pursued an IMF-mandated package of reforms that included dismissal of thousands of public sector employees, reducing the size of the public sector, initiating privatisation of parts of the public sector (particularly the public banking services), and introducing cuts to education and healthcare sectors.
Consequently, the levels of poverty and inequality have seen significant increases over the past several years of Moreno's government. According to the official numbers, the level of structural poverty has increased from 23.1 per cent in June 2017 to 25.5 per cent in June 2019, with some economists projecting that structural poverty will reach 30 per cent by the end of the year if the new economic measures are enacted.
Extreme poverty has risen from 8.4 per cent to 9.5 per cent during the same period. Furthermore, the Gini coefficient of economic inequality has increased from 0.462 in June 2017 to 0.478 in June 2019, reflecting Moreno's policies of reducing social spending, principally benefiting the rich.
On the legal side, the country has witnessed a continuous breakdown of constitutional law, with the persecution of the former vice-president Jorge Glas on dubious charges, the censorship of various critical media channels, and the scandal of the INA Papers and discovery of secret offshore bank accounts linked to the Moreno family.
It has also witnessed the dismissal of the newly elected Council of Citizens' Participation and Social Control (CPCCS), the withdrawal from UNASUR and OPEC and the continuous political witch-hunt against Correa and other leaders of the Citizens's Revolution, such as the former Foreign Minister Ricardo Patiño and former deputy Sofia Espin.
Esther Cuesta, a member of the National Assembly of the Citizens' Revolution Movement, explained her party's position regarding both the new rebellion and the growing authoritarianism and repression by the Moreno government: "Millions of Ecuadorians, whom we join as the Citizen's Revolution Movement, reject the neoliberal economic measures, dictated by the IMF and imposed to the Ecuadorian people by Moreno's government, mainly because they will impoverish the vast majority of the population: the middle class, the working class and the poor, as well as small and medium-sized businesses, to the detriment of the future of children and younger generations."
She further explained the significance of the Zánganos movement in the historical context of the Ecuadorian people's struggle against neoliberalism: "Since the paquetazo [IMF package] announcement, what started as a transportation strike emerged as a growing social protest all over the country and from different sectors of the population.
"Ecuadorian people have memory. The adjustment policies applied in the country the 1980s and 1990s provoked massive unemployment, impoverishing of the population, and about 12 percent of the population emigrated."

Hold-time fatigue crack growth of Allvac 718Plus
Hörnqvist, Magnus
Viskari, Leif
Stiller, Krystyna
Sjöberg, Göran
The hold-time fatigue behaviour of Allvac 718Plus was investigated both in the as-heat treated condition and after long-time exposure at temperature close to the maximum operating limit. At temperatures above 450°C the introduction of 90 s hold-time at maximum load significantly increased the fatigue crack growth rate. Both conditions showed purely cycle dependent behavior at 450°C and close to purely time dependent behavior at 700°C. At 600°C intermediate behavior was observed. The long-time exposure had little effect on the cyclic (0.5 Hz) crack growth rates, but the resistance to crack growth with 90 s hold-time decreased. No microstructural effects of long-time exposure (700°C/140 h + 675°C/460 h) could be observed by SEM, but there were indications that the hardness of the material increases somewhat after exposure.

Hemp oil cosmetics - a forgotten nature treasure for your skin!
Cannabis plant has been known and used by humans for hundreds of years. Its unique properties were first discovered by the people of Asia more than 4,000 years ago! They noticed that hemp oil had beneficial therapeutic and cosmetic properties for the skin.
Today we know that it is thanks to the rich content of essential fatty acids, Omega 3 and Omega 6, vitamins A, C, E and B, and the presence of a large amount of minerals such as zinc, magnesium or calcium.
Particular attention should be paid to the content of essential fatty acids Omega 3 and Omega 6 in hemp oil, which amounts up to 80%. It is also worth pointing out that they are in the ideal 3: 1 ratio.
Omega 3 and Omega 6 have a direct impact on good skin condition and prevent premature aging. Thanks to Omega 3 and 6, the epidermis's protective function improves, making it more flexible. Thanks to the ability of acids to penetrate deeply into the intercellular structures of the skin, a noticeable improvement in elasticity of the skin can be felt. TEWL also reduces the natural skin resistance to the detriment of external factors.
In cosmetics hemp oil is commonly described as "Dry oil". It is due to the fact that it is one of the best moisturizing oils - very quickly and deeply absorbed, leaving the skin hydrated and nourished, leaving no greasy film.
Hemp oil is suitable for all skin types: dry skin (to moisturize), sensitive skin (to strengthen skin protective functions), mature skin (to slowdown aging), damaged skin (for regeneration), oily skin with tendency to change Acne (to regulate sebum secretion).
Cosmetics There are 35 products.
The use of hemp plants and its derivatives have been proven to be beneficial to the human body, and the good thing is, the hair and scalp are not left out!
The oil extracted from the seeds of hemp plant contain a variety of essential amino acids, omega 3 and 6, and other vitamins and minerals all of which are highly beneficial to the body system.
Hemp hair care products can be effectively used to combat a wide range of hair problems such as dry and itchy scalps, hair loss, and weak and lackluster hair. Most people find it surprising to discover that their hair problems might be as a result of the hair product they are currently using or have previously used on their hair. A lot of products contain ingredients that hinder the natural growth of hair; a good example is the sulfate in shampoos that has been shown to remove the natural oils produced by the scalp, resulting in dry, weak and brittle hair.
Products like Cannaderm Capillus Anti Hair Loss Serum, Anti Hair Loss Shampoo with Caffeine, India Hair Mask with Hemp Oil and Hair Shampoo with Hemp Oil for Dry and Damaged hair; all featured in our store harness the fatty acids and essential vitamins in hemp oil in order to provide your hair with the nourishment, moisture and boost it requires.
To put an end to a series of complaints about bad hair days, ineffective hair products and encourage the growth of healthy hair, try the hemp hair care products featured on our website; begin your journey to healthy hair today!

Vibrant Bar Welcomes Canal Quarter Proposal
By Holyroodpr in · September 30, 2010 · No comments
Delighted bosses of Edinburgh's newest style bar have welcomed a blueprint to create an ambitious watersports destination on their doorstep.
Hyde Out is a stylish, £1million venue due to open in November at Edinburgh Quay, an area which has already enjoyed a dramatic turnaround in fortunes in the past five years.
Now the thriving quarter has been given another boost, with the unveiling of a blueprint to turn a stretch of the Union Canal into a haven for watersports and houseboats.
Rory McWhirter director of L.A.White Leisure, the company behind Hyde Out said: "We are delighted at the council's proposed plans to create a 'canal quarter' and hope that as a new business opening in the area we can benefit from the interest and footfall the scheme looks set to create.
"Picking the right area to open a new bar is one of the most important things you can do and we definitely think we have got it right with this site.
"The Edinburgh Quay area attracted us because of its potential for regeneration. These new plans can only be beneficial to us as and this fantastic but much underused area of Edinburgh.
"The scheme has our full support and it would be great to see the canal opened to its full potential and have it bustling with canal boats and even canoes or kayaks."
Economic development bosses hope the 'canal quarter' will boost existing businesses, while attracting other new businesses like Hyde Out.
The new proposal was unveiled this week (Sep 27) and will focus on the 16 kilometre stretch of the Union Canal between Harrison Park and Fountainbridge.
It aims to turn the area into a major base for recreational water activities such as canoeing and kayaking as well as providing a potential development of floating homes.
The canal strategy, which will go out to public consultation later this year, also proposes new boat moorings and explores the possibility of creating a marina – which will create a Riviera style atmosphere.
Councillor Jim Lowrie convener of planning at Edinburgh council said: "The development and the regeneration of the Edinburgh Quay area is set to take off over the next few years and a bar venue such as Hyde Out will be an added bonus, providing extra footfall and much needed vitality to the area."
Work is currently under way at the site and completion with a view to open looks set for the beginning of November.
Hyde Out promises to be a striking addition to Edinburgh's bar scene, featuring a host of exclusive design features that will inject quirky style into a sector which has been hit by the smoking ban and the recession.
Press release issued on behalf of Hyde Out by public relations agency the Holyrood Partnership.

Easy run with a little bit of beginner white water. Crux of the run for beginners are the two play park holes near Centennial Park. Both can be walked around.
The two play park holes can be taken with speed head on are are easy to paddle through if you keep your paddle moving. The only other white water of note is below 9th st. bridge where there is a 40 yard incline and after that a river wide water pipe that is under water that creates a river wide play wave.
Put in is at Centenniel Park off of 2nd St. and Hwy 50. Take out can be at Ash St. near the river trail for a nice float. If you are a first time boater it is a great run to sharpen you combat roll. Of course at high flows this run can be hard for beginners as with all high flow runs.

John George Pearson - 2003
At Ronnie Kray's funeral, London crime expert John Pearson saw a man he didn't recognise - but who all the notorious criminals present deferred to.This is the remarkable true story of that man: 'the Englishman'.Investigations revealed that the Englishman was never mentioned in any of the previous books on organised crime, not because he wasn't involved, but because everyone was too scared to speak his name.
Moreover, he was as legendary a figure on the streets of New York as on the streets of London.Pearson persuaded the mysterious criminal leader to talk to him - and the result was a story even more extraordinary than that of the Kray twins. Here Pearson reveals the true story of the Englishman who became the adopted son of Joey Pagano, the head of one of the major New York crime families. Here the Englishman tells the story that no-one else dared to tell.
Mafia Boss Sam Giancana: The Rise and Fall of a Chicago Mobster
Susan McNicoll - 2015
Sent to Reformatory at the age of 10, Sicilian-American Sam Giancana lived a gilded life as mobster and mob boss at a pivotal point in history when the mafia decided who ruled America, who lived and who died.
Born in 1908, in The Patch, Chicago, Giancana joined the Forty-Two gang of lawless juvenile punks in 1921 and quickly proved himself as a skilled 'wheel man' (or getaway driver), extortionist and vicious killer. Called up to the ranks of the Outfit, he reputedly held talks with the CIA about assassinating Fidel Castro, shared a girlfriend with John F. Kennedy and had friends in high places, including Sammy Davis Jr., Frank Sinatra, Shirley MacLaine, Marilyn Monroe and, some say, the Kennedys, although he fell out with them.The story of Sam Giancana will overturn many of your beliefs about America during the Kennedy era. If you want to know Giancana's role in the brother's deaths, and more of the intrigue surrounding that of Marilyn Monroe, this book will fill you in on the murky lives of many shady characters who really ruled the day, both in Chicago and elsewhere.

Famously arrested on the day England won the World Cup in 1966, his trial heard he allegedly used iron bars, bolt cutters and electric shocks on his enemies.The Last Gangster is Richardson's frank account of his largely untold life story, finished just before his death in September 2012. He shares the truth behind the rumours and tells of his feuds with the Krays for supremacy, undercover missions involving politicians, many lost years banged up in prison and reveals shocking secrets about royalty, phone hacking, bent coppers and the infamous black box.Straight up, shocking and downright gripping, this is the ultimate exposé on this legendary gangster and his extraordinary life.
Mad Frank and Sons
David Fraser - 2016
Drawing on exclusive final interviews with Frank, and with unprecedented access to his closest relatives, Mad Frank and Sons follows his rise from a small kid stealing to put food on the table to a feared and respected West End crime lord and head of a legendary gangland family.
It includes the story of Frank's beloved sister, Eva, who was a top-class West End shoplifter, and his sons David and Patrick, who reveal in shocking detail the full extent of the family's network and the influences that shaped them.With sawn-off shotguns as toys, the Kray twins as family friends and a mother who urged them as teenagers to 'get out of bed and rob a bleedin' bank', it is little wonder that the Fraser boys were heavily involved in organized crime by the time they were in their twenties. Packed with new information, and featuring some of the most famous names in the London underworld, this is a fascinating slice of gangland history seen through the eyes of Frank Fraser and his two renegade sons.
Doing the Business - The Final Confession of the Senior Kray Brother
bookmans-az
Charlie Kray - 2011
The final confessions of the senior Kray brother.
Only one man knew everything about Ronnie and Reggie Kray and that was their brother Charlie. Until now nobody has ever revealed the truth about the Firm.- Gossip and rumor have been rife, fact has blended into fiction and the unwritten law of the street meant that the real story was buried. But before his death, the eldest Kray brother, Charlie, decided to set the record straight once and for all. Revealing everything to Colin Fry, his co-author, he finally told his incredible story. By the man who knew them best, this is the ultimate history of the twins who ruled the East End with their peculiar blend of seductive glamour and terrifying violence.
The Dark Side of Lyndon Baines Johnson
lyndon-b-johnson
us-history
Joachim Joesten - 1968
First published in 1968 in the UK (the subject matter was too controversial for US publishers to touch) this is Joachim Joesten's treatise on the 36th president of the United States, Lyndon Baines Johnson, and his lifelong addiction for power at any cost.Joesten pulls back the layers of lies and deception to reveal LBJ as one of America's most corrupt and duplicitous politicians ever.
Joesten carefully documents the little-known facts behind Johnson's involvement in scandals stretching back to his first stolen election in 1948, thru the Bobby Baker, Billy Sol Estes and Walter Jenkins affairs, and culminates with the assassination of John F. Kennedy. Included are LBJ's connection to mobsters, big Texas oil, political graft and corruption, blackmailing of FBI chief J. Edgar Hoover, and a disturbing number of murders committed by his henchmen for LBJ's personal gain.FROM THE BOOK:The true nature of Lyndon B. Johnson has long been hidden from the public through the frenzied efforts of highly paid P.R. wizards and artificial image-builders. William Manchester came closer than most other people to seeing through the benign public relations mask of Lyndon Johnson, but one wouldn't know it from scanning the pages of 'The Death of a President'.If there are two persons in the world who have really come to know Johnson at close quarters, outside of his own family, they are Robert and Jacqueline Kennedy. Manchester interviewed both of them at length and they told him, without mincing their words, what they thought of That Man in the White House. But when Manchester, having faithfully recorded everything the Kennedys had told him, rushed into print with his story, years ahead of schedule, they both got panicky and practically forced him to 'revise' his story out of recognition.Edward J. Epstein, the author of Inquest, somehow managed to get hold of a copy of the original, unedited manuscript of the Manchester book, then entitled 'Death of a Lancer', and revealed in the July issue 1967 of Commentary, some of its contents.In his original draft, Manchester, it seems, made some very pungent remarks about Lyndon Johnson whom he described, among other things, as a 'chameleon who constantly changes loyalties'; 'a capon' and 'a crafty schemer who has a gaunt, hunted look about him'.He also pictured Johnson as 'a full-fledged hypomaniac' and 'the crafty seducer with six nimble hands who can persuade a woman to surrender her favors in the course of a long conversation confined to obscure words. No woman, even a lady, can discern his intentions until the critical moment'.By far the most interesting aspect of this matter, however, is Epstein's contention that Manchester's original theme, which gave unity to his book, was 'the notion that Johnson, the successor, was somehow responsible for the death-of his predecessor'.Several quotations from the original draft bear out this contention. At one point, the Lancer version states, 'The shattering fact of the assassination is that a Texas murder has made a Texan President'.At another, Kenneth O'Donnell, Kennedy's appointments secretary, is quoted as exclaiming 'They did it. I always knew they'd do it. You couldn't expect anything else from them. They finally made it'.Then Manchester comments: 'He didn't specify who "they" were. It was unnecessary. They were Texans, Johnsonians'.But what is one to think of an author who allows his most important work not only to be castrated, but to be turned completely upside down by a publisher more committed to the dictates of expediency than to the search for historical truth?

Killer Children: Horrifying True Stories of Kids Who Kill (Killer Kids Book 1)
serial-killers-and-true-crime
Danielle Tyning - 2020
When you think about the evil in the world, you conjure up images of those who prey on children, serial murderers, and criminals who carry out sickening and violent acts towards the weak, vulnerable, and undeserving.
Names like Bundy, Gacy, and Gein come to mind, alongside the many other murderous people out there who've gained notoriety because of their evil. When you're envisioning the unthinkable and heinous acts that are carried out in this world, it's unlikely you imagine a youngster as being a perpetrator of evil.Killer children, although rare, do exist. The thought alone is terrifying; we see children as being vulnerable and pure, which makes it harder to comprehend them wanting to inflict pain and suffering on another being. The correlation of a child and unthinkable acts of murder is undeniably tricky to compute.The children in this book carried out acts of savage murder - even just typing that sentence feels wrong. Some of these murders are sexually motivated; some are carried out for revenge; others are part of an occult ritual. Regardless of the motivation for these children to commit unspeakable acts of cruelty, they are all disturbing.This book was written to give you some food for thought, to allow you to digest some of the heinous crimes committed by youngsters and consider why they'd carry out such horrific acts. This book will open up a world of questions, many of which I've likely pondered upon myself. While I do offer up my own opinion throughout this book, I do need to (as much as possible) stick to the facts to let you make your own mind up.With that in mind, let's delve into some of the despicably horrific murders that were carried out by children.

Family Secrets: The scandalous history of an extraordinary family
Derek Malcolm - 2017
'Some people's secrets should never be told.
The secret, though, that surrounded my parents' unhappy life together, was divulged to me by accident . . .' Hidden under some papers in his father's bureau, the sixteen-year-old Derek Malcolm finds a book by the famous criminologist Edgar Lustgarten called The Judges and the Damned. Browsing through the Contents pages Derek reads, 'Mr Justice McCardie tries Lieutenant Malcolm – page 33.' But there is no page 33. The whole chapter has been ripped out of the book. Slowly but surely, the shocking truth emerges: that Derek's father, shot his wife's lover and was acquitted at a famous trial at the Old Bailey. The trial was unique in British legal history as the first case of a crime passionel, where a guilty man is set free, on the grounds of self-defence. Husband and wife lived together unhappily ever after, raising Derek in their wake. Then, in a dramatic twist, following his father's death, Derek receives an open postcard from his Aunt Phyllis, informing him that his real father is the Italian Ambassador to London . . . By turns laconic and affectionate, Derek Malcolm has written a richly evocative memoir of a family sinking into hopeless disrepair. Derek Malcolm was chief film critic of the Guardian for thirty years and still writes for the paper. Educated at Eton and Merton College, Oxford, he became first a steeplechase rider and then an actor after leaving university. He worked as a journalist in the sixties, first in Cheltenham and then with the Guardian where he was a features sub-editor and writer, racing correspondent and finally film critic. He directed the London Film Festival for a spell in the 80s and is now President of both the International Film Critics Association and the British Federation of Film Societies. He lives with his wife Sarah Gristwood in London and Kent and has published two books – one on Robert Mitchum and another on his favourite 100 films. He is a frequent broadcaster on radio and television and a veteran of film festival juries all over the world.
The Curse of Brink's-Mat: Twenty-Five Years of Murder and Mayhem - The Inside Story of the 20th Century's Most Lucrative Armed Robbery
Wensley Clarkson - 2012
On 26 November 1983 six armed robbers escaped with £28 million worth of gold bullion from a Brink's-Mat warehouse at London's Heathrow Airport.
The Curse of Brink's-Mat reveals the pulse-racing full story of the crime itself before moving to its chilling aftermath, which still reverberates to this day. The heist made the careers of many of the underworld's biggest names, and changed the face of British crime forever but in the years that followed the robbery, many of those involved, innocent and guilty alike have been sent to an early grave. Two decades on, the death toll is still rising. Nobody knows more about that extraordinary morning's events than Wensley Clarkson. Nobody is better placed to track the vicious, violent and unexpected waves that followed in its wake or bring to life its cast of larger-than-life characters. From small-time crime in south-east London, to 'the heist of the century' and its bloody consequences, Wensley Clarkson's The Curse of Brink's-Mat is an epic tale of villainy, gold and revenge.

We recently bought an Apple Time Capsule for backing up or main machines at home. The first thing we did was disable the wireless portion of it since we already have a wireless base station that's performing quite well (we've also been burned by bad Apple wireless products in the past, read: original Graphite Base Station had bad capacitors, an Airport Express that randomly drops the wireless signal, and two Airport Expresses that have faulty power supplies).
I needed to perform a restore from the time capsule to my PowerMac G5 via 100mbit/s ethernet. The total size for the restore was just over 90GB– it took just over 40 hours to restore completely. That's nearly two days! That's just wrong– there has to be a problem somewhere.
To it's credit, it performed as advertised allowing me to restore my computer completely from a backup. It just took longer than I believe it should have.
Needless to say, I'm now backing up my machine on an internal drive and leaving the Time Capsule for future generations until there's a fix.
Oh, and don't believe the estimate. It never went over 20 hours at any point.


I had the pleasure of interviewing "Selling It: In The ATL" star Chrishena Stanley who not only appears on our televisions each week, but also happens to be an empire builder and one of Atlanta's hottest real estate agents. During our interview Chrishena shared some interesting information with us and even drops a little tea on what we can expect for Season 2 of the show.
How did you become a part of "Selling It: In The ATL"? What inspired you to join?
I got a call from Sara Lowe, another agent. We actually tried out for another show, but that didn't work out. I met with Carlos King who is so good at what he does and it went from there.
You've been introduced to us as the "empire builder", which is a very powerful name. What's the significance behind it?
Well, I'm a natural born leader and overachiever so I believe that's the significance behind the name.
How was it filming the first season of "Selling It: In The ATL"?
Very time consuming (laughs), but a lot of fun. It's a great way to showcase deals and working with my clients on a daily basis. It's so amazing how production works. Carlos King and World Wonder are the best in the business.
We were introduced to your lovely mother who actually works for you. How is your relationship now that she's an employee of yours?
It's a constant challenge. She sold real estate for fifteen years in Manhattan for a well-known agency. She's my role model and I love having her on my team, but I do tell her when she's getting on my nerves.
What makes "Selling It: In The ATL" different from any other reality show? When can we expect season 2?
I think what makes "Selling It: In The ATL" different is we are hunters who have to create opportunity. We are all extremely different, but the one common denominator is we all want to grow successfully and be the best at what we do. It only gets more competitive and you'll see how quickly a friend can turn into an enemy.
What upcoming projects do you have in the future and will you be doing any real estate expos or anything like that?
Yes! I'm happy to be a part of this year's Real Estate Expo in Atlanta May 7th along with some really great people. I'm also going to be doing plenty of speaking engagements for upcoming homebuyers.
How can we keep up with you and all of these awesome engagements?
You guys can follow me on social media!
Chrishena also shared that season 2 of "Selling It: In The ATL" will be returning to our screens soon and should have a premiere date by the end of the month.

Q: error in compiling code that call to rest service I trying to use this example and learn how to call to rest service,
when I put this code I getting error since the eclipse doesn't know
the   org.example.Customer; .the error in definition Customer customer.
how can I import it to my project ?
I have tried to use the eclipse suggestion  without success. (fix project setup etc)
import java.util.List;
import javax.ws.rs.core.MediaType;
import org.example.Customer;
import com.sun.jersey.api.client.*;

public class JerseyClient {

   public static void main(String[] args) {
      Client client = Client.create();
      WebResource resource =
        client.resource("http://localhost:8080/CustomerService/rest/customers");

      // Get response as String
      String string = resource.path("1")
        .accept(MediaType.APPLICATION_XML)
            .get(String.class);
      System.out.println(string);

      // Get response as Customer
      Customer customer = resource.path("1") ------"*Here is the error in customer*-------
        .accept(MediaType.APPLICATION_XML)
            .get(Customer.class);
      System.out.println(customer.getLastName() + ", "+ customer.getFirstName());

      // Get response as List<Customer>
      List<Customer> customers = resource.path("findCustomersByCity/Any%20Town")
        .accept(MediaType.APPLICATION_XML)
            .get(new GenericType<List<Customer>>(){});
      System.out.println(customers.size());
   }
}

I have used the code from this blog
http://blog.bdoughan.com/2010/08/creating-restful-web-service-part-55.html

A: If your org.example.Customer class in not in the same project in which you are creating this service the you can include it to classpath of your current project.
Just make sure that you have your directory structure like the one shown below (Used it from the link given by you in the question) .If its not like it then  that may be the cause of error.

A: Could be
1: is the import statement import org.example.Customer; underlined in red?
2: the class Customer is that inside a jar? or another project in your workspace? or where is it located?
3: Are there any chances that there could be two jars on your classpath that contains the class Customer?
4: if its in a project, did you first build that project?
update , see in the link here

they have shown the packaging and deployment organization, see the Customer class is inside CustomerService.jar which is inside CustomerService.war. do you have these items?
Dude did you follow the tutorial well?

A: The blog you give the link says:

In our CustomerService session bean we created in part 4 we specified
  that our RESTful service would use the path "/customers" using the
  @Path annotation.

At which step are you?
Have you followed all steps?

New Haven Names Duane Bailey Associate Vice President, Director of Athletics and Recreation
WEST HAVEN, Conn. - New Haven has announced the appointment of Duane Bailey as Associate Vice President, Director of Athletics and Recreation. Bailey, who will assume his role at the university on June 19, is currently Director of Athletics and Recreational Services at New York Institute of Technology.
"Duane has distinguished himself throughout his career as a strategic leader with an uncompromising commitment to student development," said Walter Caffey, vice president for enrollment management at the University of New Haven. "He not only has extensive experience as the head athletics administrator on numerous capital projects, but also has a proven track record of establishing critical relationships and partnerships both within and outside of the organizations he's worked with."
In two years at NYIT, Bailey, who becomes the fifth Director of Athletics at New Haven, rebuilt a leadership structure that focused on the enhancement of the student-athlete experience with the overall goal of developing student athletes both academically and athletically while preparing them to be successful beyond their collegiate athletic careers.
During his tenure with the Bears, five NYIT Athletics teams have advanced to NCAA postseason tournaments with three of those teams advancing to the round of eight and two more to the round of 16. As a department, the Bears experienced one of the highest jumps in Learfield Directors Cup history moving up 75 spots from 135th to a current standing of 60th.
The overall athletic success under Bailey's leadership includes five coaches winning Coach of the Year honors, two teams winning conference championships, 37 athletes earning conference accolades including eight Player of the Year honors in their respective sports and eight athletes earning All-America distinction.
Additionally, Bailey instituted a number of new events to honor both current and former student-athletes. In addition to the annual SAAC Student-Athlete Awards Banquet, NYIT held its first Men's and Women's Basketball Tip-Off Dinner and its first Lacrosse Face-Off Luncheon as a way to celebrate the considerable achievements of the respective teams. In addition, NYIT reinstituted its Athletics Hall of Fame induction ceremony in conjunction with its annual golf tournament at the historic Muttontown Country Club.
Much of the success under Bailey's leadership can be attributed to the transformational work that began immediately upon his arrival at NYIT. Over his tenure, critical partnerships were formed with Under Armour, Powerade and the New York Sports Club. He also created the Bears Sports Network and Bears Athletic Fund which serves as the primary fundraising arm for the department of athletics.
Prior to NYIT, Bailey spent seven years at Seton Hall as Deputy Director of Athletics where he oversaw all internal operations of the athletic department and had oversight of several sports. Prior to that, he served as associate commissioner and chief financial officer of the Atlantic-10 Conference. He began his professional career in the National Football League, spending 10 years working first for the league's management council and later for the Kansas City Chiefs, managing the team's salary cap, contract negotiations, and football administration.
Additionally, he has served as an adjunct professor of sports management at Adelphi University and held leadership positions in finance, public relations, and marketing with the United States Tennis Association, the New York Mets, Cablevision Systems Corporation, and CA Technologies.
Bailey is active both nationally and internationally serving on various governing bodies of sports including the board of directors for the United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association (USILA), US Lacrosse, and the USA Bobsled and Skeleton Federation. He is also a past member of the US Tennis Associations' Collegiate Varsity Committee and a two-time participant of the Division IA Athletics Directors' Association Athletic Directors Institute.
A graduate of St. John's University with a degree in finance, Bailey also received a master's degree in athletic administration from Adelphi University, and a M.B.A. in management and administration from LIU Post.

Douglas Rayner Hartree, FRS (27 March 1897 – 12 February 1958) was an English mathematician and physicist most famous for the development of numerical analysis and its application to the Hartree–Fock equations of atomic physics and the construction of a differential analyser using Meccano.
Douglas Hartree was born in Cambridge, England. His father, William, was a lecturer in engineering at Cambridge University and his mother, Eva Rayner, was president of the National Council of Women and mayor of the city of Cambridge. One of his great-grandfathers was Samuel Smiles; another was the marine engineer William Hartree, partner of John Penn. He was the oldest of three sons, although his two younger brothers did not survive to adulthood. He attended St John's College, Cambridge but the first World War interrupted his studies. He joined a group working on anti-aircraft ballistics under A. V. Hill, where he gained considerable skill and an abiding interest in practical calculation and numerical methods for differential equations, executing most of his own work with pencil and paper.
After the end of World War I, Hartree returned to Cambridge graduating in 1922 with a Second Class degree in natural sciences.
Hartree's last Ph.D. student at Cambridge, Charlotte Froese Fischer, would become world-famous for the development and implementation of the multi-configuration Hartree–Fock (MCHF) approach to atomic structure calculations and for her theoretical prediction concerning the existence of the negative calcium ion.
He died of heart failure in Addenbrooke's Hospital, Cambridge, on 12 February 1958.

George Eid () () (born June 25, 1985) is a multilingual Lebanese senior journalist, anchor, war correspondent, documentary producer and university lecturer, columnist known for his liberal reports and articles. He is among the young journalists who appeared in Lebanon after 2007.

At a young age he made his debut on radio and television, and in e-media and written media in a period of seven years. He was a founding member of Murr Television, Lebanon and Sky News Arabia. He was one of the first international correspondents to enter Aleppo to cover the Syrian conflict in 2012. He is also the producer of the first documentary about the Greeks of Lebanon Kalimera Men Beirut, which was first shown in March 2017.

Early life and education
Eid was born in Beirut, Lebanon, the son of Elias Eid and Caroline Mazidji. During his early childhood he was raised by his maternal grandparents both refugees from Asia Minor. He spent most of his childhood with them in the Gemmayzeh and Mar Mikhaël neighbourhoods during a time when Lebanon was divided by civil war. They had a great influence on him and both were later featured in a documentary he made about the Greeks of Lebanon. Eid developed a great passion for languages at an early age.

He was educated at the German school of Jounieh and learned to speak five languages: Arabic, German, French, English and Greek. After graduating he attended the Lebanese American University in 2004 and enrolled for a bachelor's degree in journalism. He later transferred to Notre Dame University in 2005 where he completed a BA in journalism and public relations.

In 2012 he was accepted into the master's program at Sorbonne IV - CELSA Paris, graduating two years later with a master's degree in marketing, management, communication and media. From an early age he had a passion for news and wanted to work in the media industry.

Career

Eid received the Said Akl Award in 2007 for best poetic performance. He was also awarded the first prize from an international library of poets for his poem "Life". His reports and columns appeared in many Lebanese newspapers, particularly in An-Nahar and Al Aamal between 2007–2009. In 2007 after the July war, Eid participated in the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) conference in Malta and helped to issue the overall report on oil spill pollution in Lebanon affecting the shoreline from Jieh to Byblos. He also served as a youth shadow Minister of Tourism and Industry between in 2007–2008.

The second Youth Shadow government was established after a bill was passed on December 12, 2005, by the Lebanese cabinet to establish and support such a structure. This was developed by MP and Editor in Chief of An-Nahar daily, Gebran Tueni who was assassinated during the Cedar Revolution.

Eid was also the editor-in-chief of the weekly magazine Al Raii el Aam (public opinion). He also occupied the seat of political editor at the web news agency iloubnan.info in 2008. He was also a freelance writer with articles published in publications such as Timeout-Beirut, Naharashabab, Elite, El taswik el Arabi-Dubai, and Haya-Dubai.

At the end of 2008, Lebanese Radio CEO Fouad Hamdan asked Eid to present a talk show on Radio Lebanon tackling the Lebanese elections in June 2009. Eid proposed the program name Saadat Al Nakheb, which was approved and began airing on January 9, 2009. The show voiced the opinions of young people and independent politicians. In a review in Annahar saadat al Nakheb the program was described as an "innovative new show that is timely and needed". The show aired until the end of June 2009. He then started the program Lana wa Lakum which tackled the daily issues of Lebanese society; it ended by September 2009. On April 7, 2009, Eid began his television career with the newly reborn Murr television. He became a reporter known for his innovative style of reporting on a wide range of issues from social to political.

On October 7, 2010, an MTV correspondent received threats related to his reporting on the mysterious purchase of lands by Hezbollah in the eastern part of the Lebanese capital Beirut. A step which has been considered to have caused a demographic imbalance in the region. However, despite these threats, Eid prepared and aired a follow -up report on the same issue on October 23, 2010, and another on November 26, 2010.

Eid joined Voice of Lebanon (VDL 100.5FM) radio station as a news anchor and show host on January 15, 2011. On February 7 he aired the political show Al-mahkama which tackled all issues related to the Special Tribunal of Lebanon. February 17, Eid took a phone call on air from a witness to P.M. Hariri's assassination, Zuhair el Sedik, who launched a series of accusations during the show. Following this Eid received a court summons issued by ex-minister Karim Pacradoni who was accused by el Sedik. However the case was dropped on 25 February 25, 2011. On April 22, 2011, Eid was shot at while reporting on outlaws in the western part of Beirut where Hezbollah militants dominate. However, Eid was not hurt or injured due to the protection of the Lebanese security forces, and he was able to produce and publish the report on the same day.
On 30 November 2011, Eid resigned from MTV after signing with SKY NEWS Arabia, based in Abu Dhabi. He assumed the position of deputy news Editor and Roving reporter.

In 2014 Eid returned to MTV as a deputy editor-in-chief and senior reporter.

Eid was appointed as Head of News Operations for MTV Lebanon News in July 2019. He led a newsroom of 90 journalists through the October 2019 uprising in Lebanon, Corona pandemic and a dire economic situation.

He kept his role as a Senior correspondent for the channel whereas he was the first to arrive on the field on the afternoon of the Beirut port blast on 4 August 2020.

In parallel, he started to report for Voice of America Radio in Washington DC in English after the Beirut Blast. In addition to reporting for ANT1 Greece in Greek.

On August 30, 2020 he joined the 75-year-old Cyprus Mail newspaper as tits Middle east correspondent, based in Beirut.

Affiliation with Greece
Having Greek roots from his maternal side. Eid has always supported the Greek Community of Beirut. In 2016, He produced the documentary Kalimera men Beirut, the first of its kind to tell the story of the Greeks who came to Lebanon as Refugees in 1922. In February 2019 he founded the organization Stin Viryto with the main purpose of promoting and preserving the Greek culture in Lebanon. In June that same year, he launched the first Greek Festival of Lebanon an event that was attended by more than 12000 people over three days and acclaimed by both the Lebanese and Greek Media.

On August 15, 2020 George Eid Started shooting his new documentary "Zeibekiko of Beirut" that tells the story of the Greek community in Beirut after the Beirut Port blast.

First Runner-Up: (tie) Old Pequliar, Kate's Pub

First Runner-Up: The Raygun Lounge Second Runner-Up: Meeples GamesCafe
Best Place to Shoot Pool
The Garage If you'd never stepped inside the Garage, you'd be forgiven for thinking it's primarily a bowling place—the thunderous smack of balls hitting pins in its 20 lanes dominates outside the enormous Broadway establishment. Walk through the doors, though, and the crack of freshly racked billiard balls being broken on its 25 tables echoes throughout the building, serviced by six bountiful bars that keep pool sharks nice and loose. 1120 Broadway, 322-2296.

Missed our big news? Catch up over here and then come back to this post.
I'm so sorry. I think this 2-3 week blogging hiatus has been the longest ever in 3 + years here at Our Home Made Easy. I promise, I didn't fall off the face of the Earth, but I felt a little overwhelmed with daily life and unfortunately, the words weren't falling out on the page like usual.
What's happened since we last talked?
we enjoyed our favorite ice cream place before we left Ann Arbor!
I started a new job and we moved across the country!
I started my new role as a Product Owner for a healthcare tech start-up in Phoenix remotely for 2 weeks in Michigan. The same day, we listed our home in Ann Arbor and spent the next several days out of the house all evening due to showings.
Thankfully we accepted an amazing offer (love that Ann Arbor seller's market) just a few days later. One less thing to stress about.
We even snuck in a Mumford & Sons concert for one last date night in downtown Detroit!
Then, Jordan flew to Arizona to start his new role at a new company. That left the kids & I to wrap things back up in Ann Arbor… and still learning my new role at work. In the meantime, I was packing everything the 4 of us needed for 60 days in luggage! Our entire home was due to be packed up and placed in storage until we bought a home and moved into it.
Our relocation package provides us 60 days of housing & temporary storage to give us time to move into our new home after moving out of Ann Arbor. We are thankful that we even have that much time. In those 60 days, our things are packed away safely and we are scheduled to live in a swanky furnished 3 bedroom apartment. It's not a bad deal at all.
So that meant anything the 4 of us needed in the next 2 months, needed to go on the airplane with us. Clothes, lunch boxes, toys, work supplies, blogging stuff, charging cables, and all the extras you don't think about needing. Jordan took 2 checked bags and a packed carry on ahead of time. The rest was up to me.
Before you say– there's always a Target nearby… I completely understand. However, there are still things I didn't want to buy duplicates of for such a short time.
On Monday, 2 weeks ago, the movers showed up to pack up our entire home. And they did it in just one day! By the end of the day, we only had my makeshift desk and beds put together.
Then on Tuesday, they loaded up everything and cleared out the house. I finished a conference call, packed up the wi-fi router in my carry on (yes, seriously), and we left Ann Arbor.
The kids & I spent Tuesday night at a hotel near the Detroit Airport. Our flight wasn't until Wednesday at noon so thankfully, we didn't have to rush through the morning.
Then… the luggage debacle of one mom, 2 kids, carry-ons, 4 checked bags, and 2 car seats. I planned on being dropped off at curbside departures. Which didn't seem like a big deal with all the luggage since I planned on checking curbside.
Big mistake on my part!
Unfortunately, since we were coming from a hotel, they can only drop-off at shuttle arrival stations. Nowhere near departures in the airport terminals. Thankfully, Detroit Airport sent someone to help me and it all worked out really well.
The best part about the trip? Being reunited with Jordan!
Since we arrived in Phoenix, we spent our first weekend officially meeting our new realtor and scheduled to see a few houses. Thankfully, we found a great home right away and it just went on the market that morning! We were the first showing and placed an offer immediately.
3 days in Phoenix and we were already under contract. Woot woot! One more stressful thing off our plate.
I don't want to share any photos just yet since it's not ours, but we have been through inspection & appraisal and have a firm close date. We are crossing our fingers that everything else flows smoothly!
On Sunday, we received the keys to our temporary furnished apartment, and 'moved' in. We are in North Scottsdale's Kierland Commons neighborhood which is super duper fancy. We are enjoying living where we can walk everywhere and keep reminding the kids that soon, the suburbs will be coming! The apartment will be home for 60 days until we close after the end of the school year. We will cut it close on our limited days in storage and temporary living, but really it made the most sense to wait to move in until early June.
Then, last Monday, the kids & I started our first days at our new schools & work! Each morning the kids have run into school excited and that's made the transition easier. We had a wonderful Kindergarten teacher in Ann Arbor and a great nanny we left behind. Switching schools and into daycare for Owen left us nervous.
While this entire experience has been non-stop since we announced our move, it has left me struggling to keep up in daily life.
I was falling asleep at 8PM each night because I felt like I had nothing left in the tank. And for that, no words to write. Each night I planned to blog, share projects, and recipes with you! But the words & energy just haven't been there.
In the middle of these past few weeks, I lived in the moment, staying afloat rather than taking on more than I could handle.
And really, nothing bad happened over here at Our Home Made Easy. You didn't miss a post and I wasn't stressing myself out in the evening. Facebook & Pinterest have pushed on since I had a little extra help this month with things.
We are slowly getting back into our groove. We spent this weekend at a work event enjoyed a popular Phoenix food truck and were able to tour the Arizona Science Center!
Now that we've survived the past few weeks, I feel less overwhelmed. While I feel super bad about not blogging because I like to stay consistent with you, admittedly, a little break was what I needed. And I don't feel bad for stepping back and knowing that I couldn't do it all during this big transition.
Here is to starting a new week, finding our new routine, and getting back into the swing of things! Can't wait to share more with you soon, my friends. I missed you!

Admiral Schofield had 10 points and seven rebounds for the Volunteers (15-5), who overcame a horrid start to post their fifth road win of the season.
Tennessee missed 15 of its first 17 shots to fall into a quick early hole. But the Vols soon settled down in their first trip to Hilton Coliseum, closing the first half on a 26-7 run keyed by three 3s from Daniel _ who led the nation in scoring in 2015-16 while at Howard.
Tennessee extended its lead to 44-21 on back-to-back 3s from Turner, capping a staggering 39-9 spurt spanning the halves.

From Books to TV Shows: The New Era
Published: - Jul 05, 2021
Binge-watching shows on streaming platforms have become a trend, but lots of people do not know that their favorite shows are based on books. Here we recall how the industry has changed and some unmissable TV shows.
The Woman Post | Valentina Ibarra
Streaming platforms like Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Disney+ have changed the way we consume media. Years ago, TV shows depended on staying in the prime hour to maintain their public, which also meant constant cliffhangers so they would keep engaging every week. Additionally, the time per episode was limited based on the hour frame of the channel and the duration of ads, and the length of the season depended on how many weeks the network had available for them.
But now, the internet allowed the public to decide when and where to watch their favorite TV shows, giving the creators a range of opportunities to explore new ideas. And just like that, the adaptation of books shifted, as there was now a better possibility to adapt them without needing to cut important parts, which usually happens in movies because of time limitations.
It is easily shown in franchises like "The Hunger Games," "Divergent," and "Harry Potter." Their last books contained so much information that they had to divide them into two movies to fit the whole story. With TV shows this is not a problem anymore, as screenwriters are allowed to keep more details. For example, "Game of Thrones," which had 73 episodes of over an hour. And funny enough, according to fans, the show lost its direction when it ran out of source material. It happened because the books were not completely published and finished, so the creators had to find an ending of their own.
Also read: VIDEO GAMES, ALSO A WOMEN'S WORLD
These examples show the bigger opportunities for adaption brought by streaming and how important books can be to create and maintain a good story. Even failed books-to-movies adaptations like "Percy Jackson," "Narnia," and "Shadowhunters" are getting second opportunities to succeed in the format of TV shows. It is a new time for book adaptations, and now it is time for recommendations.
If you are a big fan of the literature classics, you probably will enjoy TV shows that can retell the stories. Some try to be as close as possible to the books, like "Pride and Prejudice" (1995), but others try to tell the story from a modern perspective. For example, "Sherlock" (2010) and "Elementary" (2012) set the story of the great detective Holmes in contemporary London and Manhattan, giving a new perspective into this iconic story. Other examples are "The Frankenstein Chronicles" (2015), "Dracula" (2020), and "Fahrenheit 451" (2018).
On the other hand, if you enjoy books based on another era, "Anne with an E" (2017) and "War and Peace" (2016) can be perfect options to travel back in time. And including a little bit of fantasy and dystopia, we can also include "The Witcher" (2019), "Outlander" (2014), and "The Handmaid's Tale" (2017). If instead, you would rather have stories of daily life, you can see the up and downs of going through college while dating in "Normal People" (2019) or follow the dramatic experiences of mothers in a suburban town in "Big Little Lies" (2017).
Una publicación compartida por Sara Shepard (@saracshepard)
But then, the experience can go the other way around. If you are looking for books to read, there are some stories that people forget are based on books. For example, teenage dramas like "You," "Pretty Little Liars," "The Vampire Diaries," "Gossip Girl," and "Looking for Alaska" are adaptations. It means that if you could not get enough of these TV stories, you have the chance of seeing them from another lens in the books.
Una publicación compartida por Sravya Ronanki (@seeker_sr)
Hopefully, these recommendations will make it easier to choose your binge-watching next weekend. And the best part of it is that if you cannot get enough of the T.V show, you can always also read the book.

Dorieus de Rhodes, fils cadet de Diagoras de Rhodes, est un pancratiaste grec. Il est trois fois vainqueur au pancrace lors des ,  et  jeux olympiques en 432, 428 et 424

Ce champion fut trois fois periodonikès, c'est-à-dire vainqueur lors de chacun des quatre grands Jeux sacrés au cours du même cycle de quatre ans. À ses trois victoires à Olympie, il ajouta quatre victoires à Delphes entre 438 et 426 (une des victoires à Delphes ayant même été obtenue , sans que personne n'ose s'opposer à lui), huit à l'Isthme de 438 à 424 et sept à Némée de 437 à 425. Il triompha également quatre fois aux Panathénées, quatre fois aux Asklépieia d'Épidaure, trois fois aux Hécatombiaia d'Argos et trois fois aux Lycaia d'Arcadie. Dorieus eut également une activité politique notable dirigée contre Athènes. Installé à Thourioi, il rejoignit les Lacédémoniens (Spartiates).

Compte tenu de la durée de son règne (estimé à quinze années) et de son intensité (22 couronnes dans les grands Jeux sacrés en seize années de compétition au plus haut niveau), Dorieus de Rhodes doit être considéré comme le meilleur pancratiaste de l'Antiquité, et probablement même de tous les temps.

L'auteur Pausanias le Périégète décrit dans son Elide tout un groupe de statues iconiques (littéralement ), aperçues à Olympie, qu'il désigne sous le nom de Diagorides. Il s'agit de la célèbre famille de Diagoras de Rhodes : des vainqueurs olympiques () en pugilat ou en pancrace sur trois générations. Diagoras, avec ses quatre coudées et cinq dactyles (doigts) est le plus grand de tous : approximativement . Ses fils, dont Dorieus, mesurent environ quatre coudées soit .
