Review – Pitch Perfect 3
Believe it or not, I had never seen the first two Pitch Perfect films until last Sunday, when I did my appropriate homework in preparation for the release of this third entry in the series. I enjoyed them, finding the combination of irreverent humor and energetic musical performances to be quite infectious and endearing. The ongoing theme of the benefits of teamwork without the elimination of individuality are also worthwhile and not something often addressed by film, allowing the property to stand out a bit in the marketplace. Throw in the likable cast and we have a winning franchise that has made a surprising amount of money (the first one grossed $115 million worldwide on a $17 million budget while its sequel earned a staggering $287 million-plus on a $29 million budget) and garnered a lot of adoration.
This film will not achieve the same level of financial success as its predecessor. There is just far too much competition, right now. As long as it makes approximately $120 million worldwide or so, it will be fine. That will probably happen, but director Trish Sie and her accompanying screenwriters don't do much to make reaching that goal a no-brainer. As much as the first two films were focused, streamlined, and possessed a clear vision of what they hoped to accomplish, Pitch Perfect 3 at least partially – if not mostly – loses its own identity in trying to be something it's not (and something its fans don't want it to be) while sacrificing its own cast of characters to force that agenda on us all.
I'm not going to pretend that there isn't at least a fairly healthy dose of what audiences are expecting in this film. The girls still get to sing and dance and they (mostly) do it well, with Anna Kendrick and Hailee Steinfeld easily being the best of the bunch. And the humor is there as well – particularly from Rebel Wilson – though I would say it only has about a 50% hit rate. Still, that's better than a lot of other so-called comedies (if that's the benchmark we're using, now). But all of that is in there. One of the problems with the film, however, is that it's not delivered in the way or with the frequency that audiences have come to expect.
In the first two films, there was a sense of joy and excitement around the Barden Bellas. Their talent was obvious. Their enthusiasm was evident. All they needed was the chance to learn how to put it all together in a well-rounded presentation and to learn their audience. While presented as susceptible to their own flaws, they were never assumed to be incompetent or incapable.
As in Pitch Perfect 2, this film features one significant misstep by the Bellas that puts them at a moral disadvantage against their . . . competitors, I guess (we'll get to that, in a minute)? However, this "misstep" is something that is done to them, not something for which they are themselves responsible. And then everyone treats them – after their natural reaction of confusion and surprise – as if they should be embarrassed and considered amateur.
Throw in that the "competition" is barely that at all, with no true winners or losers, and it seems like very little is at stake, here. Each group wants to open for DJ Khaled (who has two scenes with any significant dialogue and he is absolutely horrible. How can someone be awful at playing themselves?) and that's it. On top of that, the talent level of the other groups range from somewhat competent to pretty good, but the Bellas are clearly better than all of them. It's no longer an a cappella competition, so the others are using instruments to support themselves. In doing so, they are predictably safe and sound like virtually every other band out there who knows how to play a guitar but not how to perform without using the instruments as a crutch.
All the while, the Bellas are putting the vocals of their competitors to shame and "outplaying" the others' instruments with their backup vocals alone. Their a cappella style of performing has a far higher degree of difficulty and, in addition, they perform at a stronger level than the other groups. So, why does the film then try to convince the audience that the Bellas are the inferior group of the entire bunch? Not only is the competition itself forced and contrived, but any sense of competition within it is, as well.
And then there's John Lithgow's Fergus. Fergus is Fat Amy's (Wilson) estranged father, hoping to reconnect with his daughter as she and the Bellas are focusing on making their last performance together a great one. The subplot starts out as a mild distraction but balloons into an unwelcome intrusion that practically changes the entire genre of the film, itself. Not one Pitch Perfect fan asked for this specific kind of element to be worked into the mix of any of these films – especially when it's presumably the last one – and all it does is throw the entire film off track and take time away from what the audience wants to see: lighthearted and energetic singing competitions. Even worse is that this is the worst performance I've ever seen from John Lithgow. It's not "bad for John Lithgow". It's just bad. I'm tempted to blame Sie's direction but no one else turns in a poor performance, so I'm unfortunately not sure I can do that.
Meanwhile, Beca (Kendrick) is saddled with an arc that is a duplicate of her Pitch Perfect 2 story, Emily (Steinfeld) is robbed of all of the progress she made in that same film, and all of the other girls are restricted to background roles and underdeveloped subplots. At least Lilly is still delightfully odd. But there is no big emotional payoff to anything in the film. There's no payoff to the main story or to any of the subplots. The musical performances are strong but lack the enthusiasm of the film's predecessors. And, as game as the cast is, they can only do so much to elevate the mindboggling material. And, to an extent, they do – especially Kendrick, Steinfeld, and Wilson. (And Adam Devine's Bumper is nowhere to be seen, which is a significant plus, in my eyes, as I despised both the character and Devine's performances.) But there's still so much going on around them that even that talented trio simply can't save.
Both fans and the cast of the Pitch Perfect series deserve better than this presumed conclusion. Now, truth be told, I don't think the film's target audience is quite as discerning as hardcore film lovers, nor quite as prone to pure, unadulterated, overstated hate as, say, Star Wars "fans". So, this type of movie tends to be critic-proof to a large degree. It's very likely that many fans of the previous films will love this one just as much. If that's the case, please don't let me stop you or change your mind. But if you're more of a film fan and less of a Pitch Perfect fan specifically, you might want to temper your expectations, a bit.

When you choose to always double team a player, that takes precedence over any other setting. The only exception is if you have settings which would cause 3 or players to be double teamed at the same time. For example, if you have 2 players set to double-team always and 1 player set to double-team when leading scorer (and he is the leading scorer), when those 3 are on the floor at the same time, no one will be double teamed .

Surrogacy in Ukraine: How to Get Started?
by admin | Nov 25, 2022 | Surrogacy | 0 comments
Ukraine is one of those countries that has made compensated surrogacy legal for every married heterosexual couple (be it local or foreign) within their territories. Still, given Russia's invasion of Ukraine recently, we would advise you to stay put until the situation comes back to normalcy in this part of the planet.
Meanwhile, you can enhance your knowledge regarding the surrogacy options available in Ukraine by reading this blog till the end. Here, we will take you through some of the key points that may come in handy during your surrogacy journey in the country.
Who are eligible for surrogacy in Ukraine?
Being an intended parent, you first need to prove your inability to conceive via natural means before putting any step further regarding surrogacy in Ukraine. Moreover, your respective physician must confirm the following:
The intended mother doesn't have a womb (inborn or acquired).
Uterine deformation that prevents pregnancy and delivery.
Synch of the womb cavity, which is incurable.
Somatic disorders make it dangerous for the woman's health or life to carry a pregnancy.
IVF failures (minimum 4) even with excellent-quality embryos.
Every legally married heterosexual couple that comes along with the abovementioned confirmation from their doctor is eligible to go ahead with surrogacy in Ukraine. On the other side, surrogacy for LGBT couples in Ukraine isn't permissible as per Ukrainian law.
So, being a same-sex couple, you can look forward to other destinations like Cyprus and Georgia to go by your child-seeking aspirations. Moreover, even Surrogacy for single in Ukraine is forbidden given the rules and guidelines of Ukrainian family law.
Understanding the Surrogacy laws in Ukraine
While Ukraine does offer supportive and flexible laws for surrogacy, one must take a detailed understanding of the same in advance. Here, we mention some of the key pointers in regard to surrogacy in Ukraine.
The Family Code of Ukraine of the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Health of Ukraine governs surrogacy legally in the country.
The intended parents are considered the legal parents in cases where IVF-created embryos are placed back into the womb of another woman, according to Ukrainian law's Family Code.
According to Ukrainian law, the surrogate mother in Ukraine has no rights during the pregnancy and the child belongs to the intended parents. On the Ukrainian birth certificate, the names of the intended parents will be listed right from the start.
Surrogacy is only available for married heterosexual couples in Ukraine. So, people and individuals looking for surrogacy for LGBT couples in Ukraine need to look elsewhere in order to realize their parenthood dreams
Moreover, even Surrogacy for single in Ukraine is non-permissible, given the points mentioned in the Family law of Ukraine
How to look for a surrogate mother in Ukraine?
As you proceed with your surrogacy journey in Ukraine, your first challenge would be to find a perfect surrogate match. While this can be a tedious task, getting connected with a trusted and reputed surrogacy agency in Ukraine would come of big help.
The agency will help you in short-listing the best-suited surrogate mother in Ukraine, right according to your needs and expectations. On the other side, it will help you across every related task in the same respect.
Being an intended parent, you must know that a surrogate mother should fulfill the below criterion in order to stay eligible for the surrogacy process in Ukraine.
She must be aged between 21 to 35 years.
Must be physically and mentally fit for the role of the surrogate mother.
Should be willing to go through all the required tests and diagnoses.
Must have successfully carried a child in the past without any complications.
Should be ready to help the intended parents in good faith and not for monetary gains.
Must not come on board with an addiction to any banned or harmful substances.
Must furnish her family medical history and background when and wherever required.
While random surrogacy agency in Ukraine has their own specific criteria, this would come as a standardized version of the same.
Why deal with a surrogacy agency in Ukraine?
There are many reasons why you must connect with a reputed surrogacy clinic in Ukraine. Firstly, the agency or the clinic will help you to shortlist a suitable surrogate mother in Ukraine. Moreover, they will help you in getting the same surrogate screened and matched according to your requirements.
While the surrogate mother in Ukraine gets prepared for the embryo transfer, the agency gets it all sorted with the help of their partner IVF clinics in Ukraine. So, technically, the surrogacy clinic in Ukraine will provide you with end-to-end support during your surrogacy journey in the country.
Now, as you proceed with your association with the surrogacy agency, you must always take the following considerations in prior:
Experience and reputation of the surrogate agency
Availability of legal professionals in their panel
Available medical facilities and support system
Apart from these, a surrogacy clinic must also ensure that all the needs and requirements are taken care of in the desired manner. Surrogacy in Ukraine is a complicated subject as of now, given the country's political conflict with neighbors Russia. So, being an intended parent, you must wait for the situation to go normal before putting it a step further. That way, you can always ensure the best for your surrogacy aspirations without falling into any unwanted legal conflict.

Fraudsters Took Advantage of Injured Workers
Injured workers in California thought they were calling a hotline to help them navigate the workers' compensation system. What they got instead was more pain. Rather than getting the help they needed, callers were set up with a group of corrupt doctors, attorneys, and patient brokers who lined their own pockets at the expense of injured workers.
For years, dozens of marketers, doctors, lawyers, and medical service providers conspired to buy and sell patients—and their individual body parts—like commodities for insurance and workers' compensation purposes. The San Diego-based fraud ring cheated the California workers' compensation system and private insurance out of more than $200 million. They also subjected patients to unnecessary, and sometimes painful, medical procedures and corrupted the doctor-patient relationship.
Yet thanks to an investigation by the FBI, the San Diego District Attorney's Office, and the California Department of Insurance, many of the fraudsters have been convicted and sentenced.
The network preyed predominantly on seasonal, migrant workers who travel back and forth between California and Mexico. Their work in heavy labor industries, such as agriculture, can sometimes result in injuries.
Fermin Iglesias and Carlos Arguello set up various patient recruiting and scheduling companies in Central America and Mexico to direct patients to medical service providers. Arguello operated several patient recruitment entities, including one called Centro Legal. Through billboards, flyers, advertisements, and business cards, Centro Legal recruited workers to seek workers' compensation benefits. When an injured worker called the number on the billboard or card, a scheduling company took over to maximize the profits from that individual worker.
"The corrupt attorneys and doctors had the same goal—to bill as much as possible," said Special Agent Jeffrey Horner, who investigated the case out of the FBI's San Diego Field Office. "The attorneys wanted to get the largest possible settlement by any means necessary, which was traditionally based on total medical billing. The doctors wanted to make as much money as possible, without regard for the well-being of their patients.

Biased and wrong? Facial recognition tech in the dock
Police and security forces around the world are testing out automated facial recognition systems as a way of identifying criminals and terrorists. But how accurate is the technology and how easily could it and the artificial intelligence (AI) it is powered by – become tools of oppression?
Imagine a suspected terrorist setting off on a suicide mission in a densely populated city centre. If he sets off the bomb, hundreds could die or be critically injured.
CCTV scanning faces in the crowd picks him up and automatically compares his features to photos on a database of known terrorists or "persons of interest" to the security services.
The system raises an alarm and rapid deployment anti-terrorist forces are despatched to the scene where they "neutralise" the suspect before he can trigger the explosives. Hundreds of lives are saved. Technology saves the day.
But what if the facial recognition (FR) tech was wrong? It wasn't a terrorist, just someone unlucky enough to look similar. An innocent life would have been summarily snuffed out because we put too much faith in a fallible system.
What if that innocent person had been you?
This is just one of the ethical dilemmas posed by FR and the artificial intelligence underpinning it.
Training machines to "see" – to recognise and differentiate between objects and faces – is notoriously difficult. Computer vision, as it is sometimes called – not so long ago was struggling to tell the difference between a muffin and a chihuahua – a litmus test of this technology.

FBI, ICE find state driver's license photos are a gold mine for facial-recognition searches
July 8, 2019 by ADMIN
Agents with the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Immigration and Customs Enforcement have turned state driver's license databases into a facial-recognition gold mine, scanning through millions of Americans' photos without their knowledge or consent, newly released documents show.
Thousands of facial-recognition requests, internal documents and emails over the past five years, obtained through public-records requests by researchers with Georgetown Law's Center on Privacy and Technology and provided to The Washington Post, reveal that federal investigators have turned state departments of motor vehicles databases into the bedrock of an unprecedented surveillance infrastructure.
Police have long had access to fingerprints, DNA and other "biometric data" taken from criminal suspects. But the DMV records contain the photos of a vast majority of a state's residents, most of whom have never been charged with a crime.
Neither Congress nor state legislatures have authorized the development of such a system, and growing numbers of Democratic and Republican lawmakers are criticizing the technology as a dangerous, pervasive and error-prone surveillance tool.
"Law enforcement's access of state databases," particularly DMV databases, is "often done in the shadows with no consent," House Oversight Committee Chairman Elijah E. Cummings (D-Md.) said in a statement to The Post.

US Customs and Border Protection reportedly suspends subcontractor over cyberattack
The US Customs and Border Protection has reportedly suspended a subcontractor following a "malicious cyberattack" in May that caused it to lose photos of travelers into and out of the country. Perceptics, which makes license plate scanners and other surveillance equipment for CBP, has been suspended from contracting with the federal government, The Washington Post reported Tuesday.
On June 12, CBP had confirmed that in violation of its policies, a subcontractor had "transferred copies of license plate images and traveler images collected by CBP to the subcontractor's company network." The subcontractor's network was then compromised by a cyberattack that affected under 100,000 people who entered and exited the US in a vehicle through several specific lanes at one land border during a 1.5-month period.
Federal records showed CBP officials citing "evidence of conduct indicating a lack of business honesty or integrity," Washington Post reported.
Passports and travel document photos weren't taken in the cyberattack, but it was reported later in June that the hackers stole sensitive CBP data from Perceptics, including government agency contracts, budget spreadsheets and even Powerpoint presentations.

5 charged in human trafficking case after 18 immigrants are rescued in Houston
(CNN) Houston police arrested five men in a human trafficking investigation for allegedly holding 18 Latin American immigrants for ransom, police said.
The suspects face multiple charges, including engaging in organized crime by kidnapping, Houston Police Chief Art Acevedo said Friday.
The investigation started June 5 after a family told police a relative was being held against his will. Kidnappers were demanding $4,700 for the man's release, in addition to $300 that had been paid to someone in Mexico to help bring him into the country, police said in a criminal complaint.
The kidnappers told the family that the man would be killed if the money was not paid, the complaint said.
Officers responded to where they believed the victim was held, and they arrested several suspects and rescued two victims, Acevedo said.
Guns, cash and cocaine recovered
Police learned of a "stash house" with more victims and found 16 more victims in "deplorable conditions," he said.
"Our investigation determined that women were held captive and sexually assaulted for 25 days," he said. The victims were taken to hospitals after they were rescued.
Detectives also recovered guns, more than $10,000, and 19 grams of cocaine, police said.

Case Update: High Court hold that panel of the NMC were unduly lenient in imposing 4 month suspension for dishonest nurse
Home Insights Blogs Regulatory Blog Case Update: High Court hold that panel of the NMC were unduly lenient in imposing 4 month suspension for dishonest nurse
Professional Standards Authority for Health and Social Care v Nursing and Midwifery Council, Mr D Wilson, [2015] EWHC 1887 (Admin)
Judgement Date: 5 June 2015
This was an appeal brought by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA) pursuant to section 29 of the National Health Service Reform and Health Professions Act from a decision made by a Panel of the Conduct and Competence Committee (the Panel) of the NMC on 9 January 2015 to suspend the registrant of Mr Wilson for 4 months. The appeal was supported by the NMC. Both the Authority and the NMC submit that the decision of the Panel on sanction in this particular case was wrong, and they invited the learned Judge to quash the suspension and to substitute the suspension for an order striking Mr Wilson off the register.
Mr Wilson (W), who was born in Liberia, moved to Michigan USA, in August 1984. In December 1988, he was arrested in Michigan. His name at that stage was Alexander Monla Wulu. In early 1989, he was charged with one count of armed robbery, one count of armed robbery and one count of possessing a firearm. In May 1989, he escaped from custody before his trial. In December 1993, he was arrested in the Netherlands, and was then deported from the Netherlands to the USA.
In January 1995, Mr Wilson was convicted of two counts of armed robbery and one count of escaping from lawful custody and was sentenced to 5 years' imprisonment. In 2001, he was deported from the USA to Liberia, having served over 3 years of his sentence.
In August 2001, W changed his name from Alexander Monla Wulu to Demonique Wesseh Wilson (the name by which he is currently known). He arrived in the United Kingdom and applied for asylum, again using the name Wilson.
In January 2004, W applied to study nursing through UCAS at the University of Salford, again, in the name of Wilson. Mr Wilson stated on the form that he had no criminal convictions. He also left the 'birth name before the age of 16' section blank.
In September 2004, he began a Bachelor of Science course in Nursing at the University of Salford, and on 13 December 2007, he obtained British Citizenship. In November 2008, he was arrested while he was attempting to enter the USA, and he returned to the United Kingdom after spending about 6 months detained in the United States
In July 2010, W applied to be registered with the NMC. He did not, on the application form, disclose his convictions, nor that his name at birth was Alexander Monla Wulu. He made a declaration that his health and character were sufficiently good for him to be able to practise safely and effectively.
In August 2010, W was registered as a nurse. In November 2011, he was employed as a registered nurse by Barchester Health Care. He had failed to disclose his convictions to Barchester Health Care, or that his name at birth had been Alexander Monla Wulu.
In December 2011, on a search of his home (for unrelated matters) the police found a letter dated 7 May 2009 from the United States District Court relating to an attempted illegal entry into the USA by Alexander Monla Wulu. Police enquiries (including fingerprinting) then established that Alexander Monla Wulu and Demonique Wesseh Wilson were the same person.
Mr Wilson was referred to the NMC by Greater Manchester Police in August 2012.
In January 2013, Mr Wilson was dismissed by Barchester Health Care for disclosing neither his convictions nor that he had previously been known by a different name.
A 6 day hearing took place before the NMC Panel on dates in October 2014 and January 2015, that dealt with charges relating to the above conduct. On 9 January 2015, the Panel made decisions about misconduct, impairment of fitness to practise and sanction. The sanction that was imposed on Mr Wilson was suspension for a period of 4 months.
The PSA referred the case to the High Court on the basis that the sanction imposed by the Panel was unduly lenient, not having due regard for the safety of the public and the reputation of the profession.
The issue was whether the penalty was one which the disciplinary body on the facts, and taking into account the objective of the disciplinary proceedings, could reasonably have imposed.
The PSA, supported by the NMC, submitted that the findings of the Panel were inadequate, principally in relation to impairment, and that the penalty did not adequately reflect the findings which should have been made on that question. Mr Wilson overall position was that the penalty was not unduly lenient.
The High Court reviewed the relevant case law, including R (Council for Health Care and Regulatory Excellence v Nursing and Midwifery Council and Kingdom [2007] EWHC 1806, Parkinson v Nursing and Midwifery Council [2010] EWHC 1898 and Council for Health Care and Regulatory Excellence v Nursing and Midwifery Council and Grant [2007] EWHC 1806 and the NMC's Indicative Sanction Policy, the Court considered the adequacy of the decision.
Laing J made a number of preliminary comments, namely that;
The allegations did not involve any suggestion that W was incompetent. This meant that factors relating to his ability to do his job were of secondary importance
The panel were required to assess the seriousness and implications for the public interest of past acts of dishonesty which had led to Mr Wilson's registration and his acquiring a job. This meant that questions of remediability and of a risk of repetition were also of secondary importance.
An important consideration for the regulator in cases such as this was reputation of the profession. This means that individual factors, such as the impact of the penalty on the Registrant, while relevant, were of secondary importance.
While the nature of the crimes to which W was convicted is important, the focus of the charges was his three recent failures to disclose the convictions to the regulator and to his employer. This meant that the factors connected with W's efforts to rehabilitate himself after he committed the crimes in the US were also of secondary importance.
By reference to the present case it was held that whilst the Panel had quoted the decision of Cox J in Grant, they erred in the weight afforded to the factors considered;
They found that the risk of repetition was unlikely. This seemed to Laing J to be irrelevant for the reasons given in her preliminary comments. It was commented that of course there was no risk of repetition of failing to disclose convictions, bearing in mind they were now well known to the NMC.
The panel had found that W had some insight. Whilst this was partly correct, the insight was insufficient; W maintained and still maintains that he did not act dishonestly.
When the panel said that W's error was in not making himself familiar with the guidelines, this was at odds with its finding of deliberate dishonesty.
The Panel gave undue weight to the effect of the penalty on W.
The court ultimately accepted the submission of the PSA and the NMC that the findings made on impairment were 'inadequate and erroneous' because there was a mismatch between those findings and the misconduct which the NMC had found W guilty of.
In relation to sanction, it was held that the Panel were 'quite wrong' to consider that this was a case that could appropriately be dealt with by way of suspension. This was repeated conduct that was fundamentally incompatible with the Registrant's continuing to be a registered nurse. This was a case where the public would not be satisfied by a less sever sanction than striking off. Importantly, W did not at the time of hearing have the key insight which would be required, namely that his conduct was dishonest. In short, the panel had taken into account mitigating factors which were either irrelevant to a case of this kind, or should have been given far less weight.
The Panel had found that W had been dishonest on three separate occasions in the recent past and had circumvented both the NMC's registration process and the employer's selection process by depriving them of information which was essential to enable them to make an informed decision.
As well as being a clear-cut example of a case where the dishonesty is so serious that nothing short of strike off will do, this case also provides a number of more general points about the balancing act to be carried out in cases where the relevant consideration is the public interest. The case reminds panels that where the reputation of the profession is at stake, considerations of risk of repetition and personal mitigation will be given less weight.

Henri Cartier-Bresson (August 22, 1908 – August 3, 2004) was a French photographer who spent a considerable part of his career working from the United States. He was an early adopter of 35 mm format, enjoying the ease with which he could use the small Leica camera to take photographs unobtrusively. A master of candid photography, his humane and spontaneous photographs helped establish photojournalism as an art form. His "street photography" style has influenced generations of photographers. Cartier-Bresson was one of the founders of Magnum Photos. Together with Robert Capa, David Seymour (known as "Chim"), William Vandivert, and George Rodger, he was a one of the original and key figures in this unique community of early photojournalists. Cartier-Bresson had served as a photographer during World War II (as had the other Magnum founders), including work with the French Resistance following his escape from a German prisoner of war camp, and it was even rumored that he had been killed during the war.
Cartier-Bresson was an artist, not just a photographer or photojournalist. In fact, his first and later works were drawings and paintings, landscapes and portraits. In a sense, he regarded photography as a type of painting, a way of capturing "the decisive moment" instantly. It was the underlying significance of an event that was the essence that Cartier-Bresson sought, not merely the external form or composition of a picture. His belief that photography can capture the meaning beneath outward appearance in moments of extraordinary clarity is best expressed in his book, Images à la sauvette (The Decisive Moment).
The recipient of numerous awards, Cartier-Bresson was to the end a man who disliked publicity, especially the type of celebrity publicity that accompanies the famous. His works continue to inspire and inform the public, with their aesthetic qualities as well as the depth of meaning that is found in the images he captured. And beyond the visual images, Cartier-Bresson also wrote extensively and magnificently about his work, his methods, his vision, and his insights into the nature of human life. He used a small camera, often disguised with black tape, and made every effort to blend in with his environment, moving according to the flow of events. The results offer a beautiful and deeply meaningful insight into human society, reflecting both the good and the bad, preserving reality for future generations.
Henri Cartier-Bresson was born on August 22, 1908, in Chanteloup-en-Brie, near Paris, France, the eldest of five children. His father was a wealthy textile manufacturer whose Cartier-Bresson thread was a staple of French sewing kits. He also sketched in his spare time. His mother's family were cotton merchants and landowners from Normandy, where Henri spent part of his childhood.
The Cartier-Bresson family lived in a bourgeois neighborhood in Paris, near the Europe Bridge. Henri was raised in a traditional French bourgeois fashion, required to address his parents as vous rather than the familiar tu. His father assumed that his son would take up the family business, but Henri was headstrong and was appalled by this prospect. However, his family was able to provide him with financial support to develop his interests in photography in a more independent manner than many of his contemporaries.
Painting has been my obsession from the time that my "mythical father," my father's brother, led me into his studio during the Christmas holidays in 1913, when I was five years old. There I lived in the atmosphere of painting; I inhaled the canvases (Nolan and Slaughter 1999).
Uncle Louis' painting lessons were cut short, however, when he died in World War I.
Henri studied in Paris at the École Fénelon, a Catholic school. In 1927, at the age of 19, he entered a private art school and the Lhote Academy, the Parisian studio of the Cubist painter and sculptor André Lhote. Lhote's ambition was to unify the Cubists' approach to reality with classical artistic forms, and to link the French classical tradition of Nicolas Poussin and Jacques-Louis David to Modernism. Lhote took his pupils to the Louvre to study classical artists and to Parisian galleries to study contemporary art. Cartier-Bresson's interest in modern art was combined with an admiration for the works of the Renaissance—of masterpieces from Jan van Eyck, Paolo Uccello, Masaccio, and Piero della Francesca. Cartier-Bresson often regarded Lhote as his teacher of photography without a camera.
Cartier-Bresson also studied painting with society portraitist Jacques Émile Blanche. During this period, he read Dostoevsky, Schopenhauer, Rimbaud, Nietzsche, Mallarmé, Freud, Proust, Joyce, Hegel, Engels, and Marx.
The Surrealists approached photography in the same way that Aragon and Breton…approached the street: With a voracious appetite for the usual and unusual… The Surrealists recognized in plain photographic fact an essential quality that had been excluded from prior theories of photographic realism. They saw that ordinary photographs, especially when uprooted from their practical functions, contain a wealth of unintended, unpredictable meanings.
From 1928 to 1929, Cartier-Bresson attended the University of Cambridge, studying English art and literature and becoming bilingual. In 1930, he did his mandatory service in the French Army stationed at Le Bourget, near Paris. He remembered, "And I had quite a hard time of it, too, because I was toting Joyce under my arm and a Lebel rifle on my shoulder" (Kimmelman 2004).
In 1931, once out of the army and after having read Conrad's Heart of Darkness, Cartier-Bresson sought adventure on the Côte d'Ivoire, within French colonial Africa: "I left Lhote's studio because I did not want to enter into that systematic spirit. I wanted to be myself. To paint and to change the world counted for more than everything in my life" (Nolan and Slaughter 1999). He survived by shooting game and selling it to local villagers. From hunting, he learned methods that he would later use in his photography techniques. Although Cartier-Bresson took a portable camera (smaller than a Brownie Box) to Côte d'Ivoire, only seven photographs survived the tropics (Montier 1996, 12).
On the Côte d'Ivoire, he contracted blackwater fever, which nearly killed him. While still feverish he sent instructions for his own funeral, writing his grandfather and asking to be buried in Normandie, at the edge of the Eawy forest while Debussy's String Quartet played. An uncle wrote back, "Your grandfather finds all that too expensive. It would be preferable that you return first" (Morris 2004).
Returning to France, Cartier-Bresson recuperated in Marseille in 1931, and deepened his relationship with the Surrealists. He became inspired by a 1931 photograph by Hungarian photojournalist Martin Munkacsi showing three naked young African boys, caught in near-silhouette, running into the surf of Lake Tanganyika. Titled Three Boys at Lake Tanganyika, this captured the freedom, grace, and spontaneity of their movement and their joy at being alive.
This photograph inspired him to stop painting and to take up photography seriously. He explained, "I suddenly understood that a photograph could fix eternity in an instant" (Fayard 2003). He acquired the Leica camera with 50 mm lens in Marseilles that would accompany him for many years. He described the Leica as "an extension of his eye" (Nolan and Slaughter 1999). The anonymity that the small camera gave him in a crowd or during an intimate moment was essential in overcoming the formal and unnatural behavior of those who were aware of being photographed. The Leica opened up new possibilities in photography—the ability to capture the world in its actual state of movement and transformation. He said, "I prowled the streets all day, feeling very strung-up and ready to pounce, ready to 'trap' life" (Morris 2004).
Restless, he photographed in Berlin, Brussels, Warsaw, Prague, Budapest, and Madrid. His photographs were first exhibited at the Julien Levy Gallery in New York in 1932, and subsequently at the Ateneo Club in Madrid. In 1934, in Mexico, he shared an exhibition with Manuel Alvarez Bravo. In the beginning, he did not photograph much in his native France. In fact, it was years before he photographed there extensively.
Don't keep the label of a surrealist photographer. Be a photojournalist. If not you will fall into mannerism. Keep surrealism in your little heart, my dear. Don't fidget. Get moving (Richards 2004).
With Chim and Capa, Cartier-Bresson was a leftist, but he did not join the French Communist party. Later, in the United States, they formed Magnum Photos.
Cartier-Bresson traveled to America in 1935, with an invitation to exhibit his work at New York's Julien Levy Gallery. He shared display space with fellow photographers Walker Evans and Manuel Alvarez Bravo. Carmel Snow, of Harper's Bazaar, gave him a fashion assignment, but he fared poorly since he had no idea how to direct or interact with the models. Nevertheless, Snow was the first American editor to publish Cartier-Bresson's photographs in a magazine. While in New York, he met photographer Paul Strand, who did camera work for the Depression-era documentary, The Plow That Broke the Plains.
Cartier-Bresson's first photojournalist photos to be published came in 1937, when he covered the coronation of King George VI, for the French weekly, Regards. He focused on the new monarch's adoring subjects lining the London streets, and took no pictures of the king. His photo credit read "Cartier," as he was hesitant to use his full family name.
When he returned to France, Cartier-Bresson applied for a job with renowned French film director, Jean Renoir. He acted in Renoir's 1936 film, Partie de campagne, and in the 1939 La Règle du jeu, for which he played a butler and served as second assistant. Renoir made Cartier-Bresson act so he could understand how it felt to be on the other side of the camera. Cartier-Bresson also helped Renoir make a film for the Communist party on the 200 families, including his own, who ran France. During the Spanish civil war, Cartier-Bresson co-directed an anti-fascist film with Herbert Kline, to promote the Republican medical services.
In 1937, Cartier-Bresson married a Javanese dancer, Ratna Mohini. Between 1937 and 1939, Cartier-Bresson worked as a photographer for the French Communists' evening paper, Ce Soir. He joined the French Army as a Corporal in the Film and Photo unit when World War II broke out in September 1939.
During the Battle of France, in June 1940, at St. Dié in the Vosges Mountains, he was captured by German soldiers and spent 35 months in prisoner-of-war camps doing forced labor under the Nazis. As Cartier-Bresson put it, he was forced to perform "thirty-two different kinds of hard manual labor" and worked "as slowly and as poorly as possible" (Morris 2004). He twice tried and failed to escape from the prison camp, and was punished by solitary confinement. His third escape was successful and he hid on a farm in Touraine before getting false papers that allowed him to travel. In France, he worked for the underground, aiding other escapees and working secretly with other photographers to cover the Occupation, and then the Liberation, of France. In 1943, he dug up his beloved Leica camera, which he had buried in farmland near Vosges. By the time of the armistice, he was asked by the American Office of War Information to make a documentary, Le Retour (The Return) about returning French prisoners and displaced persons.
Towards the end of the War, rumors had reached America that Cartier-Bresson had been killed. However, his film on returning war refugees (released in the United States in 1947) spurred a retrospective of his work at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) instead of the posthumous show that MoMA had been preparing. The show debuted in 1947, together with the publication of his first book, The Photographs of Henri Cartier-Bresson. Lincoln Kirstein and Beaumont Newhall wrote the book's text.
In 1967, he was divorced from his first wife, Ratna "Elie." He married photographer Martine Franck, thirty years younger than himself, in 1970. The couple had a daughter, Mélanie, in May 1972.
Eventually, he began to turn away from photography and return to his passion for drawing and painting. Cartier-Bresson withdrew as a principal of Magnum (which still distributed his photographs) in 1966, to concentrate on portraiture and landscapes. Retiring from photography in the early 1970s, by 1975 he no longer took pictures other than an occasional private portrait; he said he kept his camera in a safe at his house and rarely took it out. He returned to drawing and painting. After a lifetime of developing his artistic vision through photography, he said, "All I care about these days is painting—photography has never been more than a way into painting, a sort of instant drawing" (Phillips 2004). He held his first exhibition of drawings at the Carlton Gallery in New York in 1975.
Cartier-Bresson died in Céreste (Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, France) in 2004, at 95. No cause of death was announced. He was buried in the Cimetière de Montjustin, Alpes de Haute Provence, France. He was survived by his wife, Martine Franck, and daughter, Mélanie. The Henri Cartier-Bresson Foundation was created by Cartier-Bresson, his wife, and daughter in 2003, to preserve and share his legacy.
In spring 1947, Cartier-Bresson, with Robert Capa, David "Chim" Seymour, William "Bill" Vandivert, and George Rodger, founded Magnum Photos. Capa's brainchild, Magnum was a cooperative picture agency owned by its members. The team split photo assignments among the members. Rodger, who had quit Life in London after covering World War II, would cover Africa and the Middle East. Chim, who spoke most European languages, would work in Europe. Cartier-Bresson would be assigned to India and China. Vandivert, who had also left Life, would work in America, and Capa would work anywhere that had an assignment. Maria Eisner managed the Paris office and Rita Vandivert, Vandivert's wife, managed the New York office and became Magnum's first president.
Magnum is a community of thought, a shared human quality, a curiosity about what is going on in the world, a respect for what is going on and a desire to transcribe it visually (Magnum Photos).
Cartier-Bresson achieved international recognition for his coverage of Gandhi's funeral in India in 1948, and the last (1949) stage of the Chinese Civil War. He covered the last six months of the Kuomintang administration and the first six months of the Maoist People's Republic. He also photographed the last surviving Imperial eunuchs in Beijing, as the city was falling to the communists. From China, he went on to Dutch East Indies (now Indonesia), where he documented the gaining of independence from the Dutch.
To me, photography is the simultaneous recognition, in a fraction of a second, of the significance of an event as well as of a precise organization of forms that give that event its proper expression (Cartier-Bresson 1952).
"Photography is not like painting," Cartier-Bresson told the Washington Post in 1957. "There is a creative fraction of a second when you are taking a picture. Your eye must see a composition or an expression that life itself offers you, and you must know with intuition when to click the camera. That is the moment the photographer is creative," he said. "Oop! The Moment! Once you miss it, it is gone forever" (Bernstein 2004).
Cartier-Bresson used Leica 35 mm rangefinder cameras which he often wrapped in black tape to make less conspicuous. No longer bound by a huge 4×5 press camera or an awkward two and a quarter inch twin-lens reflex camera, miniature-format cameras gave Cartier-Bresson what he called "the velvet hand [and] the hawk's eye" (Van Riper 2004). He never photographed with flash, a practice he saw as "[i]mpolite…like coming to a concert with a pistol in your hand" (Van Riper 2004).
He believed in composing his photographs in his camera and not in the darkroom, showcasing this belief by having nearly all his photographs printed only at full-frame and completely free of any cropping or other darkroom manipulation. Indeed, he emphasized that his prints were not cropped by insisting they include the first millimeter or so of the unexposed clear negative around the image area resulting, after printing, in a black border around the positive image.
I've never been interested in the process of photography, never, never. Right from the beginning. For me, photography with a small camera like the Leica is an instant drawing (Jobey 1998).
Cartier-Bresson's photography took him many places on the globe: China, Mexico, Canada, the United States, India, Japan, Soviet Union, and many other countries. He became the first Western photographer to photograph "freely" in the post-war Soviet Union.
Cartier-Bresson disliked publicity. In a Charlie Rose interview in 2000, he noted that it was not necessarily that he hated to be photographed, but it was that he was embarrassed by the notion of being photographed for being famous. When he accepted an honorary degree from Oxford University in 1975, he held a paper in front of his face to avoid being photographed (Kimmelman 2004). Thus, although he took many famous portraits, his own face was little known to the world at large (which presumably had the advantage of allowing him to work on the street in peace).
The simultaneous recognition, in a fraction of a second, of the significance of an event as well as the precise organization of forms which gives that event its proper expression…. In photography, the smallest thing can be a great subject. The little human detail can become a leitmotif (Hall and Ulanov 1972, 473).
Cartier-Bresson spent more than three decades on assignment for Life and other journals. He traveled without bounds, documenting some of the great upheavals of the twentieth century—the Spanish civil war, the liberation of Paris in 1945, the 1968 student rebellion in Paris, the fall of the Kuomintang in China to the communists, the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi, the Berlin Wall, and the deserts of Egypt: "For the world is movement, and you cannot be stationary in your attitude toward something that is moving" (Cartier-Bresson 1999). And along the way he paused to document portraits of Sartre, Picasso, Colette, Matisse, Pound, and Giacometti.
This roaming, lucid eye has captured the fascination of Africa in the 1920s, crossed the tragic fortunes of Spanish republicans, accompanied the liberation of Paris, caught a weary Gandhi just hours before his assassination, and witnessed the victory of the communists in China (Foundation Henri Cartier-Bresson).
His legacy is a treasure of human activity, at its best and its worst, that will inform generations to come.

There are more than 30,000 dry cleaners in the United States. For an entrepreneur that wants to get into the industry, expand their business, or start a new business, a dry cleaner for sale is an excellent opportunity. The typical dry cleaner for sale can be very successful on a small scale with a minimal number of employees and close proximity to a customer base. How does an entrepreneur find the right dry cleaner for sale that will be a high performing business? The answer is simple -- focus on green dry cleaning.
California is phasing out the use of the solvent perc, which is a staple in many dry cleaning services and equipment. By 2023, all perc will have to go. When looking for a dry cleaner for sale, the perc issue will eventually come up. Finding a dry cleaner for sale that is already set up to offer services without perc resolves the issue long before the deadline. While some risk is inherent in any business, finding a dry cleaner for sale that has phased out perc already significantly reduces business risk.
The new regulations also prohibit the use of perc machines in any location that shares space with any type of residential area. Take the opportunity to buy a dry cleaner for sale that is already in compliance.
Customer satisfaction is paramount in the service industry and dry cleaning is no different. Buying a dry cleaner for sale that has switched to green cleaning methods is an excellent way to offer customers value. Customers today are becoming much more environmentally aware; buying a green dry cleaner for sale puts you into a business that already serves that need. These green services create an opportunity to grow a business that you have just bought by focusing and promoting your business's environmentally friendly approach to dry cleaning.
Even though perc is being phased out, dry cleaners had been using this substance for years. The use of the solvent is regulated and requires compliance with disposal and contamination. The way leases are structured, any environmental issues found on site typically are the responsibility of the current owner. If you buy a dry cleaner for sale that has already switched away from perc, the chance of inheriting a legacy environmental issue are greatly reduced.
As the market changes, green dry cleaning is going to be in an ideal position to grow. By buying a green dry cleaner for sale today, you're one step closer to putting yourself into that growth position.

Dahleen Glanton: Sen. John McCain's 'no ma'am' moment showed his true character
by Dahleen Glanton, Chicago Tribune Aug 28, 2018 4 minutes
Sometimes the test of a person's character can come down to a single moment. For Sen. John McCain, his moment very well may have occurred in the heat of the 2008 presidential campaign.
Since McCain's death from brain cancer on Saturday, our attention has returned to a rally in Lakeville, Minn., where the then-candidate confronted a woman who repeated racist rhetoric about Barack Obama being an "Arab."
"I can't trust Obama. I have read about him, and he's not, um, he's an Arab," the woman said, standing among a crowd of GOP supporters just weeks before the election. The statement was part of the "birther" smear campaign that questioned Obama's American heritage and thus his

CORRECTED-UPDATE 1-Japan's ANA to seek workers to leave voluntarily, cuts winter bonus to zero
(Corrects to say ANA to seek voluntary leave from 15,000 employees, not non-executives, in 3rd paragraph)
TOKYO, Oct 7 (Reuters) - Japan's biggest airline ANA Holdings said it has proposed to the labour unions at its main carrier ANA to seek workers to leave voluntarily after a collapse in air travel due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The airline will also cut winter bonuses to zero and reduce monthly salaries, a spokesman said, adding that it will start "sincere discussions" with the union on workforce reductions.
ANA said redundancies would be offered to some of its 15,000 employees but did not give a specific figure.
The airline will also allow the employees to take as long as two years off from work without salaries, the spokesman said.
ANA will streamline domestic flights and reduce office space as part of a business overhaul, according to the Nikkei daily, which first reported the news.
Like other airlines worldwide, ANA has had to slash flights as countries imposed travel restrictions to halt the spread of the coronavirus. So far, the carrier has relied on loans from its banks and the government to help it cope with the slump.
In the three months to June 30, ANA posted a loss of 159 billion yen ($1.50 billion).

Q: Filtering by matching criteria from multiple columns to return text from a third column I am trying to create a formula that will automatically tell me which crew is working on a particular day and shift.  I have tried several things from many different forums but somehow I am not doing something correct.
This worksheet is very large and I do not want to create new tables or additional columns if at all possible.

A: What you describe can easily be done with a pivot table. Select the data in the first sheet (or turn it into an Excel Table with Insert > Table), then click Insert > Pivot table.
In the Pivot panel, drag Day, Shifts and Crews into the rows pane and the Lines into the Filters pane. On the Design ribbon of the Pivot Tools, set the pivot table to tabular format and repeat all item labels. These two commands are in the Report Layout dropdown.
Turn off Subtotals and Grand totals.
Select a line in the filters drop down above the pivot table. In the screenshot below, the "All lines" value has been selected.

A: You can use the facts that your source data has two lines for each date and the second line is always PM to make this easy.
=INDEX(SourceSheetName!$C$2:$C$11,MATCH(A2,SourceSheetName!$A$2:$A$11,0)+IF(D2="PM",1,0))

This looks up the date in the table and returns the first Crew for that date. If the shift is PM, it will return the second record for that date.

Over 5 hours, emerging out of dawn on the centenary of Armistice Day, Aftermath creates a slowly shifting sonic landscape which offers a space for reflection on the true nature of war, loss and conflict.
Taking place at the striking MPavilion, along the approach to the Shrine of Rememberance, Aftermath will employ an orchestra of 'remembering machines': old turntables, Revox reel-to-reel players, and tape players which will sound and fragment archival recordings and texts, alongside live performance by co-curators Peter Knight (trumpet) Aviva Endean (clarinets) and collaborators Tilman Robinson (electronics) and Georgie Darvidis (voice).
On the centenary of Armistice Day, we reflect not only on the aftermath of the First World War but also on the cost and consequences of all conflicts. While war has massive political, geographical and social consequences, it also alters the lives of almost everyone it touches, from those who served to loved ones left behind, its ripples can continue to affect people for generations. Aftermath creates a space to contemplate the true nature of war, loss, and conflict, and the nature of collective memory.
The audience is invited to contribute to the event by folding white paper poppies as a symbol of peace and remembrance, and to pen their words in the petals of the poppies as an offering to the evolving soundscape.
Aftermath will conclude with the traditional Armistice Day minute's silence at 11am followed by a smoking ceremony led by representatives of the Boon Wurrung Foundation.
The audience is welcome to remain for as long or as short time as they wish, and to come and go as they please.
Aftermath is created in collaboration with Monash University Museum of Art's performance program Sound Spaces, along with Monash University Faculty of Arts, which commissioned the text from which this work has taken inspiration - World War One: A History in 100 Stories by Bruce Scates, Rebecca Wheatley, and Laura James.
This work draws from some of the research and materials developed in the making of performance work 'Endings' by Tamara Saulwick, Peter Knight and collaborators.
The development and presentation of Aftermath was supported by the Anzac Centenary Arts and Culture Fund, the Australia Council for the Arts, Creative Victoria, City of Melbourne and Monash University Museum of Art | MUMA.
We acknowledge the Yaluk-ut Weelam as the traditional custodians of the land on which this event will take place and recognise that sovereignty was never ceded. The Yaluk-ut Weelam are part of the Boon Wurrung, one of the five major language groups of the Kulin Nation. We pay our respects to Elders, past, present and future and we wish to express gratitude for their continuous culture present in this region.
