We Tried To Convince Armie Hammer To Play James Comey

This is going to be a big year for Armie Hammer. Call Me By Your Name premiered at the Sundance Film Festival to universal acclaim and Hammer's name has already been put on a number of short lists as a major awards contender for his role in the period romance. Right now, for Hammer, it's kind of the calm before the storm – so maybe it's fitting that his character in Cars 3 is named Jackson Storm.
Jackson Storm is kind of an old school cool movie villain. You know, the character who is just better than everyone else and he knows it. And Jackson Storm is so good in Cars 3 that he forces Lightning McQueen out of racing, at least temporarily. Jackson Storm is kind of a Clubber Lang from Rocky III movie villain (and when I mentioned this to Hammer, it was pointed out this is probably the first Armie Hammer/Mr. T comparison in history.)
Hammer also updates us about the continuing saga of the The Man From U.N.C.L.E sequel. In April he revealed that he and Lionel Wigram are kind of unofficially working on a script. In May I spoke to Guy Ritchie who didn't seem to know about this and seemed surprised there was interest in a sequel. Now Hammer says he's had a group dinner with the brain trust behind the first film, including Ritchie, and gives us an update on how that went.
And, yes, the idea is floated that Hammer should play former FBI director James Comey in the eventual movie about everything going on in Washington D.C. right now.
How are you, sir?
Good, man. Another day in paradise, as they say.
I'm in New York and it's like 97, so I don't quite agree with that.
Oh. I've got to tell you, I don't want to rub it in: It is 70, not a cloud in the sky, and glorious here.
Yeah, I bet it is. I don't doubt you.
But the double-edge of that sword is that I will spend my entire day inside a hotel answering questions today.
I don't feel much better because of that. That doesn't cool me down at all.
[Laughs.] Okay. Fair enough.
I think Jackson Storm is cool. He looks cool. He's a cool villain.
Well, by the way, I've definitely been called worse, so I'll take the compliment. The thing about Jackson Storm is, he is cool, man. Like the way that car is shaped, the way it looks, it sounds – all that stuff is just badass. The only problem is it comes with a real stinker of an attitude.
He reminded me of Clubber Lang from Rocky III, the Mr. T character.
Oh, funny.
Because he's better, but he's got an attitude.
Man, that's the first time I've ever been compared to Mr. T. And I think I love it.
We have entered new territory.
That is definitely a first, but hopefully not the last.
I hope this follows you in your career.
"Wait, Mr. T just walked in. Oh, never mind. That's just Armie."
Also, now you can say you were in a movie with Paul Newman.
Dude, trust me, I've said that. I have said that to everybody who will listen. And I say it with the utmost respect, obviously. I'm just like, I'm so honored and thrilled that they were able to get that and that I was now able to say I am in a movie with Paul Newman.

The Fish Farm was developed in response to observed environmental, economic and social trends in poor communities. With increasing urbanisation, high unemployment, rising transport costs, a deteriorating marine environment, and global warming affecting food security, we have to start thinking differently about how and where we grow our food. The Fish Farm is the answer! By growing food close to where the vast majority of people live, The Fish Farm positively addresses many of these dilemmas.
For the first time globally, profitable small scale but intensive fish farming has now been introduced to the inner city and urban areas. From poor communities in small towns to large cities, the global growth industry of aquaculture is now available as a small business opportunity. Aquaculture, until now, has mostly been restricted to large, low-employment operations with fairly high financial and technical barriers to entry. Now, as an example, instead of one fish farm producing 400 tons of fish, The Fish Farm empowers 100 individuals or families to produce four tons each, profitably, right where they live. The result is the same – 400 tons – but more people and communities are involved.

My lab works with bryophytes, which are a highly diverse group of non-vascular plants that includes mosses, hornworts and liverworts. We study the distribution of bryophytes in various regions throughout Panama, the type of habitat where they grow and compare their distribution and community composition in response to environmental and anthropogenic factors. We also study their morphology, genetics and chemistry to better understand their evolution, phylogenetic relationships, and the potential usefulness of their secondary metabolites in defending them against pathogens and in fighting disease or biologically controlling pests.

How does bryophyte evolution contribute to abundant tropical biodiversity?
Bryophytes (liverworts, mosses and hornworts) are the extant relatives of the earliest land colonizers and they hold clues of the eco-physiological and chemical adaptations to early life on land. In spite of recent advances, there is still a lack of information on many aspects of the life cycle, ecology and evolution of tropical bryophytes. The basic information on biodiversity and habitat dynamics in Neotropical species is still poorly known, despite the fact that the Neotropics is the richest hotspot of bryophyte diversity. Only through a collaborative and multidisciplinary approach we can address the daunting mysteries of bryophyte evolution and diversification. It remains a fascinating and challenging puzzle.
How does tropical forest composition and structure affect the composition of bryophyte communities? And what are the dynamics of bryophyte communities in different tropical forests?
The structure of the bark of some trees and the structure of the forest – whether it is open, closed, seasonal or wet all the time – are important in determining what bryophytes grow where, and why. Islands and tree species composition can also greatly influence bryophyte communities. This is due to the niches and microclimates that make the difference in what kind of bryophyte community can be developed.
Climate change, pollutants and forest disruption also play a big role in how bryophyte communities are shaped and structured. Some bryophytes prefer sun; others thrive in shade. As a result, a disturbed forest with light gaps may have a very different bryophyte community than a similar undisturbed forest. Some bryophytes have very specific niches and once the niches are gone, those particular bryophytes are gone.
What is the functional significance of endosymbiont associations in thalloid liverworts?
Symbiosis has been crucial in the origin of important evolutionary novelties that determined the successful conquest of land by early land plants. Bryophytes like other plants have developed epiphytic and endophytic associations particularly with fungi and cyanobacteria. Both leafy and thalloid liverworts frequently develop endosymbiotic association with fungi and, hornworts and few liverworts (e.g., Blasia) with nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria. Our studies focus on the relationships of fungal endosymbionts in two thalloid marchantialean liverworts, Dumortiera and Cyathodium. We are interested in the molecular diversity of fungi and their role in the successful adaptation of these plants to their environments. The information obtained could be useful for further studies on tropical microbiomes particularly in the Neotropics.
Do tropical liverworts produce compounds with biomedical or agricultural importance?
Chemically, liverworts have been one of the most studied bryophyte groups. Most liverworts have oil bodies, unique membrane bound organelles that synthesize many secondary metabolites (e.g., terpenoids and many aromatic compounds). These compounds have been useful as chemosystematic indicators and are also known to be bioactive against fungi, bacteria, some viruses, various food microorganisms, certain strains of cancer cells and some nematodes.

Catfish Homes: Airbnb and the domestic interior photograph
ÅYR | Wed Nov 12th, 2014 3:26 p.m.
Marlie Mul, Dirty Soap Dish (Did you mean: naughty soap dish), 2014, courtesy of the artist.
(Welcome) Home: that daily practiced space and mental image which has accompanied mankind through centuries. Ever our shelter from the rain as much as the fortress of our dwelling selfs. The abode of our constructed identities and repository of our material treasures. Home is where the day begins, home is where it ends. Enduring with the clichés, home is where we belong; where we are safe from the daily struggles of the outside world. Home is among those universally accepted places which we refer to without specifying a geographical location or a defining activity. Where are you?—I'm home. It is as simple as it spells...
Like many other social constructs which have endured through centuries, though, the home is a concept in constant change: It varies in space and time according to personal experiences, to social models, to the political forces by which it is governed. And even more so, it varies in relation to the technologies in which it is enmeshed. At present, the internet falls into that long strand of innovations which, in one way or another, leave their mark on domesticity. Whether in its fostering of global mobility or in how it has blurred boundaries between public and private, the internet is progressively diluting those typically bourgeouis traits which have sedimented over the last few centuries and which still inform our current, westernized, understanding of the home as a stable entity.
Though much is being said about the effect of the internet on daily lives, a less visible topic is how the home appears on the WWW, and how this, in turn, shapes domestic architecture. The web has, in fact, allowed for new representations of the home to proliferate, and the effects of this effusion on the spaces we inhabit are far from obvious. If, on the one hand, the home's fetishized representations in commercial online practices such as real estate websites and IKEA catalogues are now deeply ingrained cultural conventions, an entirely different "way of seeing" the home is discreetly emerging in the less polished repertoire of amateur photography.

Prosthetic Knowledge Picks: Computational Photography
Prosthetic Knowledge | Thu Oct 3rd, 2013 10 a.m.
The latest in an ongoing series of themed collections of creative projects assembled by Prosthetic Knowledge. This edition brings together works dealing with computational photography, featuring new technologies which may alter the experience, relationship, and even definition of "the image."
The digital eye is an ubiquitous feature of current portable technology—webcams, DSLRs, mobile phones, tablets, even MP3 players. The Black Mirror-like ability to capture a moment and share it on social networks has shifted image recording from the creation of discrete analog mementos to an ongoing process of self-identification.
There are, however, new possibilities opening up around the next generation of mediated experiences. Of course, the artistic possibilities are tremendous, but the implications are far greater for many fields which may be struggling with their digital upkeep. From advertising to fashion, art to pornography, the photograph will not be "flat" anymore. The image can be seen from any angle, from the swipe of a touchscreen or drag from a mouse, or explored step-by-step with a headset and motion detector. "Photoshopping" will be 3D. It is not only industry-class endeavours that will change, as depth-sensing is now smaller and portable, and could give the (word-of-the-year contender) selfie an added dimension. Will the Facebooks or Flickrs support this new format? Or will another contender arise to facilitate a new process of creative self-identification?

Photoshopped Sherman
Rachel Wetzler | Wed Apr 11th, 2012 10:21 a.m.
Images from Cindy Sherman's society portraits series (2008.)
A friend recently recounted an anecdote about teaching Cindy Sherman's work to her undergraduate students. She was in the middle of her lecture, explaining Sherman's elaborate, chameleonic process of casting herself in various roles in her photographs, when one student interrupted, insisting that the photograph projected on screen must have been Photoshopped, that it was impossible that the woman in this image was the same person as in the one before. The others nodded in agreement. Faced with this chorus of disbelief, my friend checked her notes: the image on her slide was from the mid-1980s, several years before Photoshop's commercial release. The process of creating it was, indeed, analog: the photograph was shot on film, and Sherman's apparent physical mutation in it the result of costuming and skillfully applied makeup rather than digital manipulation. However, the students' responses raise interesting questions about how we might conceive of her work in the wake of the digital, particularly since her most recent work has, in fact, made use of such software.
For those of us who first encountered Sherman's photographs before "Photoshopped" became part of the vernacular, her work carries rather different connotations: it is less about a process of editing or altering the image than one of altering the self through a kind of private performance staged for the camera. Sherman transforms herself, in each image, to the point that she is not only no longer wholly recognizable, but also no longer present as "Cindy Sherman" at all, instead appearing as a litany of characters and stock types. As she noted in an interview with filmmaker John Waters in the catalogue of her current MoMA retrospective, "Before I ever photographed it, I was playing around in costumes and dressing up as characters in my bedroom."
It is precisely this aspect of dressing up—of adopting and embodying different types—around which much of the critical reception of her work has revolved over the past decades. Moreover, she has maintained a rigorously private studio practice throughout her career, rarely, if ever, working with assistants: Sherman is not only photographer and model, but also hairdresser, costumer, makeup artist, and prop stylist. She performs in front of the camera, but also behind it, adopting multiple roles and functions over the course of creating each photograph. When presented in serial form, the photographs reveal the meticulousness of her process, with each successive image calling further attention to the laborious transformation involved in creating the one preceding it....

Paz de la Huerta Plays Michele Abeles
Rhizome | Tue Nov 1st, 2011 5:22 p.m.
Paz de la Huerta/Michele Abeles
David Velasco writes about Michele Abeles in Artforum (via Brian Droitcour.) Starting with an amusing anecdote about a project involving the Boardwalk Empire star, the piece is a look at the artist's approach to photography, given its changing nature in the digital age:
As if to further disarticulate the usual figure-ground relationship, she'll often title her photos by rattling off some of their ingredients. The title Number, Lycra, Man, Hand, Rock, M.L., Cardboard concatenates the generic elements of that 2009 image according to the flattened order in which her eye is drawn to them as she scans the composition. The photograph becomes a sort of rebus that could be read out loud. Against photography's materiality (the indexical trace of light on film) we have an insistence on iconicity, on the fundamental unmooring of picture from reality.
Not only do these pictures subdue the photograph's material trace, but they also imply the elision of the photographic machine itself. The best example of this is the only one with a face: Sunglasses, Lips, Head, Reflection, 2009, a photo of a dude in pink-camo sunglasses looking at the camera, his odalisque pose reflected in his shades. Abeles and her camera should be reflected in the sunglasses too, but they aren't. (She shot the photo from behind a panel of mirrored glass.) So it's like he's posing for himself, his picture magically taken without anything at all—the disappearance of the apparatus and its operator maybe signaling the eventual obsolescence of the camera in our imagemaking repertoire. We'll be our own cameras. Of course, the camera is still there. And so is Abeles. They're just out of the picture.
Some pictures leave the camera behind altogether. Take the ...

Another Book on the Bookmarks Shelf: BooksOnLine
Orit Gat | Wed Oct 5th, 2011 5:26 p.m.
BooksOnLine is an experimental free access library initiated in 2006 by artist Pierre Hourquet. The website features more than thirty books by a variety of artists, with titles such as Honey blood (by artist Suzanna Zak), Slow (Flemming Ove Bech), Not in that Particular Order (Grégoire Grange), or Homeless Caravan (Damon Way), hinting at the book's content, but not revealing a thing about the artist or the designer.
"In the beginning, I wanted to publish books. Designing books and printing them is very easy. But distributing them would be a full-time job. So I decided to publish books online.
The first books were made with friends—artists or photographers—then, after making a few books, I decided to contact artist I like. Every artist I've contacted has been very glad and enthusiastic to contribute. Some of them became good friends.
I like to design the most basic book I could, a very simple one with a colored cover and few pages. So the books have the same shape, the same number of pages, and all use the same font. The layout is more specific for each book."

Remote Presence: David Horvitz at Adobe Books Backroom Gallery
Jason Huff | Tue Aug 30th, 2011 1:44 p.m.
An image from David Horvitz' Wikipedia intervention
David Horvitz's first solo exhibition in San Francisco opened August 6th at the Adobe Books Backroom Gallery. For the duration of the exhibition Horvitz is guest blogging on the Adobe Books site. He sends frequent updates of images from his daily life and documentation of other projects he's working on - he's also included some posts about the recent hurricane that passed through New York. Since Horvitz has a history of working with ideas of remote connections, temporality, and site-specificity his guest blogging isn't surprising but is a nice compliment to his work in the physical gallery space which also takes on a transience of its own.
Adobe Books Backroom Gallery is pleased to present David Horvitz' first solo exhibition in the Bay Area. Exhibited will be photographs and text that expand on the main ideas of several projects from the last two years. One of these, a project Horvitz first created for a gallery in Den Haag, Holland, has been restaged for the Backroom Gallery. For the original project, Untitled (Flowers), Horvitz spent the day travelling the subway system in Holland gathering flowers from the different flower vendors he encountered. Says the artist, "There was something about a distributed element across the country that was then slowly recollected. Reconcentrated." For the Backroom Gallery, Horvitz purchased red roses from vendors while travelling by car from Oakland to the Mission District of San Francisco, where the gallery is located. The resulting bouquet will be exhibited in the gallery space as a souvenir of his journey across the Bay.
Brooklyn-based David Horvitz's diverse projects utilize the internet (blogs, Twitter, email) and the postal system as tools of connection and expansion. For Public Access, a multi-level project that began in January of ...

Aggregates - John Houck (2011)
Jason Huff | Tue Aug 23rd, 2011 9:04 a.m.
Excerpt from an interview between John Houck and photographer Matthew Porter in Triple Canopy's twelfth issue, Black Box, which considered how photography is being reframed online.
Matthew Porter: Your photograph,19,682 combinations of a 3x3 grid, 3 colors - B1D2D3, 6F9DA2, E83C2C, is part of a series titled "Aggregates" (2011) that comprises six relatively small, digitally-printed grids striated with fold marks and mounted in white frames. At 15 x 18 inches, the works in this series are relatively modest in size. Were you thinking about the resolution of the ink-jet printer? Or was it the gesture of the folds that determined the size of the works?
John Houck: The size of the photographs in "Aggregates" was determined by what could fit in a single frame of my camera. The process of making them starts with software that I wrote. I can specify how many rows and columns comprise a grid and select any number of colors to fill it. For example, a grid with four rows, four columns, and two colors results in 65,535 combinations (hence the title of the photograph). I then use another piece of self-authored software to output the combinations as an index print on a single sheet of paper using an inkjet printer. (No commercially available software can do this.) I then crease the paper, light it in a studio, and photograph it from above. I repeat this process three or four times: printing, creasing, and re-photographing. The final print is shown with one or two real creases, and the traces of earlier creases remain as photographic representations. I found that when the paper was too large, I had to take multiple photos then stitch them all back together digitally; but at 15 x 18 inches a single frame would do.

Religious Miracle and Technologic Effect
Joanne McNeil | Tue Jul 12th, 2011 1:02 p.m.
This is a painting of Nyai Roro Kidul, Queen of the Southern Sea of Java in Indonesian mythology. This image is fan art essentially, painted by a 33 year old physical trainer who studied art abroad, and blogged about it. Notice the motion blur and lens flare that seem to radiate out to the viewer. As Karen Strassler, author of Refracted Visions: Popular Photography and National Modernity in Java, said at a talk at MIT in April, the image "literalizes the strong affinity between the religious miracle and technologic effect...Mysticism is now represented by media."

Comment: There's No Such Thing as a Compulsory License for a Photo
Fred Benenson | Tue Jun 28th, 2011 4:15 p.m.
My friend Andy has a terrific post up about his ordeal settling with the photographer Jay Maisel over the threat of a copyright lawsuit. Chances are if, you're reading this, you know about that. If you haven't ready Andy's story, go and read it and then come back.
There's one pointed question I've seen crop up in a number of conversations about the settlement:
Isn't it wrong that Andy chose to pay the licensing fees for the music but not for the photograph?
This question makes the assumption that Andy could have paid the licensing fees to Maisel like he did for the music. He couldn't have. This is because Jay Maisel refused to license the image and there's no compulsory license for photography like there is for musical compositions.
A compulsory license is what it sounds like: the owner of the underlying musical composition is required, by law, to license it to anyone who wants to use it at a predetermined rate. This prohibits song writers from picking and choosing who gets to perform their works. It also allows Andy to license, at a fair rate, the underlying song compositions from a Miles Davis album to make a new album of original recordings (remember, copyrights to recordings are different from copyrights to the compositions of a song).
The copyright of photographic works, unlike works of music composition, is not subject to a compulsory license.

Triple Canopy's Photography Issue
Joanne McNeil | Thu Jun 23rd, 2011 10 a.m.
The first digital camera, built by Eastman Kodak engineer Steven Sasson, 1975
Photographs viewed online suffer from a crushing sameness, without the particular pleasures provided by silver-gelatin, chromogenic, or ink-jet prints. As I've edited the issue, the question preoccupying me has been whether it's possible to have what Michael Fried calls an "absorptive" experience with a photograph online, in which the image can obliterate one's consciousness of viewing it. And though this condition isn't related exclusively to form, it requires a certain minimum size and richness of detail—enough to monopolize one's attention and reveal the photograph's complexities in the moment of viewing. The challenge here is to charge the JPEG—among other low-grade image-file formats common to the Web—with this task.
What a digital space lacks, it makes up for in the potential for recombination. A tactic common to the projects in this issue is emphasizing relationships among images, whether those belonging to a discrete set authored by the photographer or to the vast cache of vernacular imagery readily accessible online. This is true of Boru O'Brien O'Connell and Simone Gilge's variations on the slide-show format, Dan Torop's textual interventions, and Daniel Gordon's automated amalgamations of his own photographs and those found on the Web. "I wish that each picture…was not forced to be surrounded by just two others," Geoff Dyer writes in The Ongoing Moment, his book on photography. "Ideally some sections would be adjacent to four or eight or even ten others," and the book would "emulate the aleatory experience of dipping into a pile of photographs as far as is compatible with the constraints of binding." Online, liberated from the mechanics of actual space, photographs flash and dissolve, are animated and stilled, merged and isolated, replicated and excerpted. Their vitality is contingent.

Student activist groups aim to raise awareness for sexual assault on campus
Robin Roper
Sexual assault has been a hot-button issue across campus lately, with an ongoing court case against the University of Maryland, Baltimore County bringing the issue even closer to home. Two student organizations, We Believe You and Speakout to Oppose Predators and Their Protectors, are working to spread awareness, enact change in how sexual assault cases are handled and minimize (if not eliminate) instances of this crime at the university.
Though there is general agreement that college-aged adults from 18-24 are at an increased vulnerability for sexual assault, statistics for sexual violence crime vary widely; this variation largely depends on the sample population and the exact definition of the misconduct. One commonly repeated figure for Americans is that over two in five women (44.6%) and one in five men (22.2%) experience sexual victimization other than rape, according to 2010 research by the National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey in partnership with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
That same year, the Federal Bureau of Investigation recorded 85,593 rapes – over a million fewer than cited by the CDC – in part due to the FBI's disregard for potentially consent-impairing factors (such as alcohol) within its definition of sexual crimes. However, a prevalence of false claims is often used as a scapegoat for number discrepancies, although this is believed to explain only approximately 7 percent of all known cases based on a U.S.-based study through the Making a Difference Project. In fact, an estimated 65 percent (according to a study done by the Bureau of Justice Statistics in 2002) of legitimate cases are believed to go unreported.
This statistic is a primary reason that the groups at UMBC elect to prioritize trust in any alleged victim in order to encourage others to come forward. We Believe You describes itself as "a survivor-centered, student activist organization that aims to end sexual violence on campus," in a statement recently submitted to The Retriever and published below. Since its founding a year and a half ago, they have put pressure on the school to ensure all students and faculty members undergo sexual assault handling classes and reached out to an external consultant for best-practice next steps. Currently, no members have been reachable for or willing to provide further comment.
Being a group as well as a movement, STOPP has a Facebook page with membership in the hundreds at only a few months old. They are perhaps best-recognized as the organizers of the large protest that took place on campus earlier this semester, and they meet every Friday to plan similar events in reaction to the ongoing allegations of sexual assault cases being mishandled by UMBC.
Exact occurrence rates aside, the effects of random and domestic sexual violence can be severe, with lasting impacts including anything from unwanted pregnancy, to cervical cancer, sexually transmitted infections and perhaps worst of all, post-traumatic stress disorder. Sexual assault can be perpetrated by a friend, a family member, or a partner — in the same vein, anyone could be a survivor of sexual abuse unbeknownst to those he or she knows.
Compassion and respect are paramount in helping survivors of sexual assault; this, as well as justice and increased visibility for victims, is the goal of groups like STOPP and We Believe You. Reform is underway, and conversations are happening.
The following statement was written for The Retriever by We Believe You:
We Believe You is a survivor-centered, student activist organization that aims to end sexual violence on campus. At a little over a year old, we have collaborated with students, staff, and faculty in efforts to make campus safer and keep survivors centered in all conversations about needed changes to our campus. The allegations in the lawsuit against UMBC officials are deeply concerning and we share the multi-faceted and complex emotions that many students, faculty, and staff are feeling right now. These feelings are completely valid and provides even more urgency to why we are working harder than ever to get the change we all deserve. We encourage people in our UMBC community to not lose hope during this time as we put in the work to right wrongs and make UMBC a safer place. Culture change takes time and requires sustainability. We Believe You is dedicated for the long work ahead. We hope we can rely on others to do the same. Our general body meetings are open to all students wishing to make a difference on campus and prioritize survivor support and healing. We invite you to join us as we cultivate this brave space for survivors and allies.
The UMBC administration has guaranteed that everyone attending and working for the university will be required to attend specialized and detailed, in-person training on sexual violence prevention and response. This has been a major goal of our organization since our inception, but change won't stop there. While we are waiting to hear the recommended changes from the external consultant, we will continue to work on making resources more accessible to everyone, improving police presence and their role on campus, bringing students concerns about the Title IX office to the administration, making sure perpetrators are stopped and held accountable for their actions, and above all, fostering a space where survivors can be heard and helped.
To survivors of sexual violence – especially our UMBC peers: We see you. We hear you. We believe you.
Correction: a previous version of this article stated that one in five women and one in 71 men are sexually victimized. However, this is a misrepresentation of the 2010 study done by National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which states that these statistics apply to women and men who have been raped. Furthermore, the statistic that 65 percent of rapes go unreported was attributed to "Rennison, 2002;" this referred to a Bureau of Justice Statistics report done by statistician Callie Rennison, PhD.

Home Showbiz Parth Samthaan set for comeback in '2 States' TV version?
BizAsiaLive.com has learnt that the ever popular Parth Samthaan is being considered for Rashmi Sharma's next show which could see him as the male lead in a TV version of Chetan Bhagat's novel '2 States'.
A film version was made in 2014, starring Arjun Kapoor and Alia Bhatt, which was very successful and Sharma has decided to make the same story for TV. Samthaan would, obviously, play the male lead and it's also being said that Tanya Sharma from 'Saath Nibhaana Saathiya' could be opposite him, according to Bollywood Life.
The show would be made for Star Bharat which Life Ok will soon be changing to. As such, the channel is thought to be revamping all the current shows.
Samthaan was appreciated in MTV's 'Kaisi Yeh Yaariaan' but has, most recently, been embroiled in a legal case with Vikas Gupta, his former mentor.


A Liberal Moment: Timothy Egan Op-Ed Piece!
"I told a friend the other day while trying to fathom the election results, that pot is legal in my state, gays are free to marry, and a black man who vowed to raise taxes on the rich won a majority of the popular vote for president, back to back — the first time anyone has done that since Franklin Roosevelt's second election in 1936.
I agree but President Obama must show that leadership.
In addition, liberals need to stand up and be proud of what they believe in and not be cowered by "the shills" of Fox News and Rupert Murdoch.
"For at least a generation's time, liberals in this country have been afraid to call themselves liberal. Was it the excesses of their creed, from race-based preferential programs that went on far too long to crude speech censorship by the politically correct and humorless (one and the same) that soiled the brand? In blindly embracing, say, the teachers' union in the face of overwhelming evidence that public education needs a jolt or in never questioning the efficacy of government programs, the left earned its years in exile.
Be Liberal – Be Proud!
Petition for a Moratorium on CUNY's Pathways Curriculum!
The PSC and the University Faculty Senate are launching a petition for a moratorium on CUNY'S Pathways Curriculum. Below is a letter from PSC President Barbara Bowen, and University Faculty Senate Chair, Terence Martell, explaining the need for the petition at this time. I urge all members of our community to support this important cause and to sign the petition.
This is a watershed moment for higher education. The "reform" agenda that brought relentless testing and widespread privatization to K-12 schools has surfaced in higher education. Forty years of public policy focused on access to college is being replaced by a single-minded demand for increased graduation rates—whatever the cost in academic quality.
The battle for educational quality is being fought hard by faculty and staff at The City University of New York (CUNY), long a focal point in struggles for educational justice.
CUNY's educational mission is under attack. Chancellor Matthew Goldstein and the CUNY Board of Trustees, led by Benno Schmidt, Jr., are trying to impose a diluted system of general education, "Pathways," that seeks to save money at the expense of students' learning. Facing intense faculty resistance, the CUNY administration has resorted to threats and intimidation. Under the pretext of easing student transfer and increasing graduation rates, Pathways will deliver a minimal curriculum for CUNY's working-class students: it removes science lab requirements, limits foreign language requirements, and cuts back on faculty time with students in English classes. Pathways is an attempt to move students through the system more quickly even as budgets are cut—by reducing academic requirements. Pathways is austerity education for an austerity economy.
With your help, we can defeat Pathways and achieve a victory for educational quality that could have national implications. Please add your voice to ours and take a stand for the integrity of higher education.
Latest Data: Less than One-Third of NYC Public School Graduates Are Ready for College!
"The school report card grades released Monday prove just how catastrophically New York's public schools have been failing their students. The city's entire education establishment — teachers and principals alike — has fallen inexcusably down on the job.
Only 29% of high school seniors who graduate in four years come out of the school system prepared for college-level work. That's less than one-third of the 80,000 or so graduates a year who rely on the public schools for their educations. Beyond shameful, the results border on criminal.
Only in the last few years have top education officials come clean on the damning fact that the schools have been lying to students. They always said a Regents diploma certified that a young person was well educated . It wasn't true.
The vast majority of graduates who went on to higher education discovered that they were completely ill-prepared. By the tens of thousands, they required remedial schooling in English, math and other subjects to do college work.
Under Mayor Bloomberg, the high school graduation rate climbed from 46% in 2005 to 65% in 2011. The number of teenagers scoring Regents diplomas rose by 5,000 from 2011 to 2012 alone.
This bottom line is that the NYC public schools under the current administration simply passed students through the system without providing them the education.
Competing with For-Profits to Attract Adult Students!
A few weeks ago I was asked to write a brief article on how public and private universities can compete with the for-profits for adult students. The article is now available online at the The EvoLLLution! Now website. Those of you interested in adult learners may fine it interesting. Evolllution Now is a grassroots online newspaper exclusively for, and by, those who are interested in higher education.
"The Truth": Controversial Painting of President Obama!
A painting entitled The Truth by Michael D'Antuono features President Obama with a crown of thorns on his head, in a position that is reminiscent of the crucifixion. Currently on display at Boston's Bunker Hill Community College Art Gallery as part of D'Antuono's politically charged "Artists on the Stump – the Road to the White House 2012″ collection, the piece was actually supposed to debut several years ago here in New York City's Union Square. Because of opposition from religious groups especially the Christian Right, D'Antuono cancelled its showing then.
Another painting (see below) entitled Who the Hell is Grover Norquist, by D'Antuono at the exhibiton in Boston, depicts Grover Norquist as a mean-spirited Wizard of Oz with Washington Republican politicians kneeling before him.
Warren Buffett: A Minimum Tax for the Wealthy!
"The Forbes 400, the wealthiest individuals in America, hit a new group record for wealth this year: $1.7 trillion. That's more than five times the $300 billion total in 1992. In recent years, my gang has been leaving the middle class in the dust.
Thank you, Mr. Buffett,for your sage advice. Now we just need to get Washington, especially the Republican-controlled House, to listen.
Is There a Manufacturing Skills Gap, a Wages Gap or an Education Gap?
Adam Davidson, founder of NPR's Planet Money, had an essay in yesterday's New York Times Magazine, examining the issues related to job skills and manufacturing. He introduced the topic by referring to his observation of a class in the engineering technology program at Queensborough Community College taught by Professor Joseph Goldenrod.
Much for all of us but especially young people to think about.

Take in a Movie this Holiday Weekend: Try "Lincoln"!
If you are not away visiting family or exhausted shopping and taking advantage of Black Friday sales, you might want to go to the movies this holiday weekend. Last night I saw Lincoln, the movie based on a book by Doris Kearns Goodwin, directed by Steven Spielberg and starring Daniel Day-Lewis.
Lincoln centers entirely on the political battle between Abraham Lincoln (a Republican) and the Democrats over the passage of the 13th Amendment that would end slavery in this country. Set in the closing months of the Civil War, I found myself riveted as the political intrigue unfurls and historic figures such as Mary Todd Lincoln and Thaddeus Stevens come to life. It also reminded me of the stark differences in the social positions of the two political parties in the 1860s versus today. For example, Fernando Wood, a former mayor and a Congressman from New York City is one of the leaders in the Democratic Party's opposition to the Republican amendment. As the New York Times review stated: "Lincoln may be among the finest films ever made about American politics".
I also enjoyed the layers of Abraham Lincoln exposed in the film. We see Lincoln the husband, the father, the story teller (the one about George Washington in a British privy had the audience howling), the statesman, and the wheeler-dealer politician.
Even though we all know the outcome, it is still a fine piece of entertainment filled with history, democracy in action and of course, Abraham Lincoln.
Students at One Bronx School Cannot Take Math or English: Just the Tip of the Iceberg!
"…the school claims it simply doesn't have enough teachers to offer the students those basic classes this semester, but that the students will eventually earn enough credits to graduate, several people said.
…Megan Hester, collaborative coordinator at the Annenberg Institute for School Reform, said the school may have been forced to make a "devil's bargain" between funding the honors program and providing those basic courses every semester.
She noted that an Annenberg analysis shows that only 1 in 10 high school graduates in the Claremont neighborhood where Medical Science is located meet the state's college-readiness benchmarks.
This is sad but only the tip of the iceberg at many small high schools in the poorer areas of New York City. Budget and the availability of certified teachers in certain subject areas such as mathematics and science is a long-standing problem that has never been adequately resolved. In addition, many of the new small schools built or remodeled in the past decade lack access to any labs to teach chemistry or biology. Because of cost and other building code issues, dozens of small high schools do not have laboratories and cannot offer any lab-based courses thereby dooming their students to high school careers devoid of genuine science instruction. With all of the emphasis in the past several years on the importance of STEM courses for careers and employment, it is a travesty that by design, the City has betrayed many of its students by placing them in lab-less schools.

Best dating advice youve ever received. What's the Best Advice You've Ever Received?
This is how we dated before being successfully married! Again, I don't remember what she did say to me that day, but I treasure what she did not say, something I don't know that I would have been able to keep to myself. Twenty years, three children and a dog later, I'm still married to the man who loved me back. Anyhoo, but here are 16, and the store where i shared an. Also you can tell a lot about a girl's intentions in case you have a doubt whether she likes you or not by the way her best friend treats you. I always felt this to be a simple and beautiful phrase that removes crazy expectations from relationships and keeps perspective on love so simple. To be open to new things, to stop overthinking and, most importantly, to have the courage to be vulnerable. Reddit is also anonymous so you can be yourself, with your Reddit profile and persona disconnected from your real-world identity What is the best dating advice you've ever received? I am not a financial advisor and nothing in this video should be considered professional financial, legal, or investment advice.
The litter box is the litmus test for love and compatibility. A real good one, won't change up on you when they don't get their way. They will pretend to be what you want til they get what they want. I was just wondering, pondering and thinking all the good and bad things that happened in my life. The only dating advice you'll ever need Reddit gives you the best of the internet in one place. I found it to be a good reminder to just keep on being optimistic. Please check out my book for the strategies and resources needed to avoid the 14 dating traps and implement the 10 principles of Conscious Dating to find the love of your life.
Even the most wizened of misers will be generous with one thing — their advice. Whenever Something bothers me or goes wrong, i go home, eat great food lay in bed and watch a movie I love. The point is not that you should act arrogantly or as if entitled, but that, if you act as if you have value in the world, others are more likely to treat you that way. Trying to be in your best piece of a yearlong relationship and women have ever. Gain relationship knowledge and skills. I just think woman in particular become delusional with bad boys who they often have physical attraction for. They have one easy tale though.
. I'd already decided i ever received if you're serious about my grandparents. When I got played by a bad girl who was maybe a stripper or wild party girl and she cheated or did me wrong. Sahar Shafi -Periodontal and Implant Surgeon Los Angeles is an incredible city - but it's so large and so vast and so diverse that all of us are missing out on tons of great people, businesses, organizations, events and more. Not only can love be found everywhere -- in an idea, an experience, a lover, a friend, etc. I have always looked at this in that way.
There's so much dating and relationships advice out there for single combing through it all can be exhausting. You will be always wrong, brothers. These principles will help you avoid The 14 Dating Traps: 1. Your main criterion for a relationship is sexual attraction and physical compatibility. Even more I was just thinking about the good and bad things that happen in people lives and how even though at times it is very difficult to be thankful for the bad things that happen in my life but just remembering it in difficult situation helps me to clam down. Imagine driving home alone in your car and reflecting on what has passed. And riki lindhome like can find 'the one' on twitter, or straight up with my g.
Yes, to give advice is clearly one of the greatest pleasures in life, so why, then, do so few people ask for it and an even fewer number actually. She died a couple of years later. My mothers advice was so true and applicable. The stories we tell ourselves —about ourselves, about other people, about our relationships—are so powerful. Of course, there are always exceptions, but it's been a good pace-keeper for me, as someone who can get attached easily lol. There's no pressure to be able to ask them for them! Communicating clear and concise expectations is the key to successful relationships.
Like an iceberg, we are typically aware only of the tip, while our success and happiness depends upon what lies below the surface. One thing that has been on my mind lately is the way media, television and film portray women. Make your relationship choices consciously. Not saying it is the most groundbreaking or revolutionary book ever, but it hit me at the right time and explained things in a very sensible way that resonated with me, and maybe it can do the same for you! Especially when it's almost all their friends. If you can live with this man don't let others influence your decision.
What's the best online dating message you've ever received from a guy?
The argument can be about dishes but if you end up insulting each other to the point that it makes you feel like crap, your relationship will either not last or grow to be very bitter. My grandparents died before I was born and my parents are deceased and never liked anyone I dated, really. Prepare for the love of your life by learning about relationships, improving your relationship skills, and deepening your relationships with your family, friends, and colleagues. Even so, the advice has stuck in my head all these years, and I still recite it to single friends who seem to have trouble making romantic relationships stick. Instead, pick the place where you really want to live and go there. That woman thinks she can change him.

Open Sources Show Notes for Thursday April 28, 2016 →

The Weekender: Sharing Should Be Caring at City Hall
This Monday at city council, the integrity commissioner will do something he hasn't to do in a while, give council a report on a complaint that was filed against several its members. Unfortunately, I can't comment on this thing at arm's length because Guelph Politico is right deep into it; the complaint involves two people, one identified and one not, who talking to me. The charge was that these people broke the seal of confidentiality of the closed meeting, and while Robert Swayze found that on most counts the complaints are unfounded. But I think this whole episode misses the real problem: we're having too much discussion in closed meetings.
Now don't get me wrong, the ability to discuss things in closed, or in-camera, sessions is important. There are matters of confidentiality to consider, personal information that is preferably not for public consumption, and sensitivity issues that councillors must feel free to comment on candidly without fear of political reprisals. Open government is a brilliant thing to strive for, but things like employee evaluations, and the progressive discipline of an employee are always confidential no matter what sector you work in. But that's not we're talking about here because I know there are certain people that think there's some sort of conspiracy behind a certain staff member recently getting a raise.
We need to look at the bigger picture. I recently did a story for Politico about the re-vote of the student bus pass referendum at the University of Guelph. A total of 14 per cent of the student body cast a ballot in the first round, over three-quarters voting in favour, but quorum can only be met if 20 per cent of the undergrad cast votes. I decided to phone Phil Meagher, manager of transit, to ask him what would happen in the unlikely event that the vote failed, or if it failed to meet quorum again, and he told me that there was a media "blackout" until after the vote was over. Why? What big secret is there to keep here except that the city might not of have had a contingency plan?
Our next item up for bids was the recent City negotiations with three Canadian Union of Public Employees locals. I know, I know, they don't bargain in the media, but who said anything about bargaining? We just want to know what the issues are! There was nothing so infuriating about the City's move to lockout the Amalgamated Transit Union local 1189 in the summer of 2014 than not knowing why the City was locking out the bus drivers. The City assured us that the union demands were financially detrimental, but how? Sorry, we don't negotiate in the media they said. Well, when you say that the union's demands will cost the city heavily in a press release, aren't you?
It wasn't until after the transit employees were locked out that we started to get some indication of what the real issues were, and that was that the union wanted the City to keep its promises from the last labour negotiation: a new break room downtown and a proper one at the university. There were other things, of course, but the facilities promised to the drivers was the thing that was supposed to bankrupt the City if delivered.
That brings us to the subject matter of closed meetings at city council. Again, a necessary tool, but let's look at this coming Monday's agenda. One item deals with an Ontario Municipal Board hearing, the results of which will eventually be made public anyway. Another has to do with an agreement between the City and Metrolinx, the company that operates GO Transit. The big one though is a discussion of the $2.6 million lost by solid waste resources last year, an item that will surely come up later in the agenda when the year end budget report is delivered. At the beginning of the meeting Mayor Cam Guthrie will tell those gathered that these items were discussed and direction was given to staff. That's nice, what direction?
Let's use what should be an innocuous example. Previously closed council meetings have had an agenda item about Guelph Storm negotiations, but fail to describe what's being negotiated. The assumption is that this has to do with the OHL team leasing the Sleeman Centre in the future, but who knows for sure? The City could be involved in player trades for all we know, it's not likely, but nothing in the description "Guelph Storm negotiations" eliminates the possibility. Here, we're talking about deliberations for a huge city facility and its primary tenant, but the people who help pay for the upkeep of that facility know nothing about it, even as some city councillors have said on the record that they would like to see a broader discussion about use of that facility.
I'm sure people in the know might read this and say that I "don't get it." Perhaps I don't, although I have had board experience, I have had to discuss delicate things will colleagues in camera, and that's why I know that how you handle in-camera is almost as important as what goes on in-camera. Let's not forget that there are a lot of eyes watching City Hall looking for any and all signs of conspiracy and cover-up. That now infamous blog post to be discussed on Monday began innocently enough with me trying to put a cork in that kind of speculating about the January 25 meeting. It didn't work out so good.
Now I'm not expecting the Mayor to come out and give a blow-by-blow of who said what, but there has to be a happy medium between that and a no comment comment like "we gave staff direction." In fact, the attitude of City Hall on the whole seems to be to prioritize caution over transparency. That's not to imply conspiracy, but when the Mayor himself has to issue a statement asking citizens not to turn city staff into punching bags, it's not so hard to see why City Hall might have a siege mentality. A government boogeyman being the cause of all our ills is an easy sell after all.
Yet the solution is just as simple, let's have a little less discussion behind closed doors and a little more discussion in the open council chamber. Active and engaged citizens will enjoy being even better informed, and those that see it all as one big conspiracy to keep us in the dark will have one less thing to complain about. In a democracy, the sharing of information is vital, and if information can't be shared, we need a thorough and logical explanation as to why it cannot be shared.

Asterix or The Adventures of Asterix (French: Astérix or Astérix le Gaulois [asteʁiks lə ɡolwa], "Asterix the Gaul") is a bande dessinée comic book series about a village of indomitable Gaulish warriors who adventure around the world and fight the Roman Republic, with the aid of a magic potion, during the era of Julius Caesar, in an ahistorical telling of the time after the Gallic Wars. The series first appeared in the Franco-Belgian comic magazine Pilote on 29 October 1959. It was written by René Goscinny and illustrated by Albert Uderzo until Goscinny's death in 1977. Uderzo then took over the writing until 2009, when he sold the rights to publishing company Hachette; he died in 2020. In 2013, a new team consisting of Jean-Yves Ferri (script) and Didier Conrad (artwork) took over. As of 2021[update], 39 volumes have been released, with the most recent released in October 2021.

Trevor Robert Nunn (14 de enero de 1940) es un director de cine y de teatro británico.

Biografía

Primeros años
Nunn nació en Ipswich, Inglaterra; sus padres fueron Robert Alexander Nunn, un fabricante, y Dorothy May Piper. Asistió a la Northgate Grammar School, en  Ipswich y al Downing College, en Cambridge, en donde comenzó su carrera teatral antes de convertirse en un director aprendiz en el Teatro Belgrade, en Coventry.

Carrera
En 1968, Nunn comenzó a desempeñarse como director de arte de la Royal Shakespeare Company, cargo que ostentó hasta 1986. También trabajó como director de arte del Royal National Theatre, siguiendo los pasos de Sir Peter Hall. Su primera esposa, Janet Suzman, actuó en varias de sus producciones. Nunn se convirtió en una de las figuras más influyentes en el mundo del teatro, y logró dirigir varias producciones de culto, como la versión de la RSC de The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby, de Charles Dickens, codirigida por John Caird, y una adaptación musical de la obra de Shakespeare The Comedy of Errors. Ya que tenía habilidad para desempeñarse como director de musicales, en el sector no subsidiado, Nunn dirigió el musical Cats en 1981, que en ese momento fue el musical que más tiempo estuvo en cartel en la historia de Broadway, y realizó la primera producción inglesa de Les Misérables en 1985, también junto a John Caird.

Nunn también ha dirigido óperas en Glyndebourne, y comenzó a dirigir en televisión con Antony and Cleopatra (protagonizada por Suzman) en 1974. Volvió a dirigir su exitosa producción teatral de Porgy and Bess, de  Gershwin para la televisión en 1993, y fue mejor recibida que la versión cinematográfica de la ópera de Samuel Goldwyn - Otto Preminger de la década de 1950. Posteriormente realizó algunos trabajos dirigiendo películas, como Lady Jane (1986), Hedda, una adaptación de Hedda Gabler, y la versión cinematográfica de 1996 de la obra de Shakespeare Twelfth Night. Actualmente está casado con la actriz Imogen Stubbs, a quien dirigió en la obra We Happy Few, y que aparece en algunas de sus producciones, incluyendo Twelfth Night.

Además de Cats y Les Misérables, otras producciones musicales de Nunn incluyen a Starlight Express y Sunset Boulevard. Su producción londinense actual de Les Misérables ha estado en cartel por casi veinticuatro años, mientras que otras obras más recientes que fueron estrenadas en dicha ciudad son My Fair Lady, South Pacific (en la Royal National Theatre), The Woman In White,  Otelo, Acorn Antiques The Musical, The Royal Hunt of the Sun, Rock 'N' Roll (protagonizada por Alice Eve, Sinéad Cusack, Brian Cox y Rufus Sewell) y Porgy and Bess (una versión con diálogos en lugar de la ópera).

La producción más famosa de Nunn es muy posiblemente su versión de Macbeth con la RSC, protagonizada por Ian McKellen como Macbeth y Judi Dench como Lady Macbeth. La producción de Nunn no sólo cobró importancia debido al elenco, sino también a los problemas que debió atravesar durante la producción. La obra se llevaba a cabo con un público no sólo conformado por las personas que habían pagado la entrada, sino también por todos los actores que no estaban en la escena que se estaba ejecutando: se sentaban en bancos de madera, más allá de los demás asientos.

Nunn regresó al teatro de Stratford, dirigiendo una versión moderna de Hamlet en 2004, protagonizada por Ben Whishaw como el príncipe, y estrenada en el teatro Old Vic de Londres. En 2007 sus producciones con la RSC de King Lear y The Seagull se estrenaron en Stratford antes de embarcarse en una gira mundial y de representarse en el New London Theatre desde noviembre de 2007. En las dos obras los protagonistas fueron Ian McKellen, Romola Garai, Frances Barber, Sylvester McCoy, y William Gaunt. Más tarde Nunn realizó una versión para televisión de King Lear, estrenada en 2008 en Boxing Day. En ese mismo año regresó al Teatro Belgrade (en el cual había comenzado su carrera) para dirigir la adaptación de Joanna Murray-Smith de la película de Ingmar Bergman titulada Scenes from a Marriage protagonizada por Imogen Stubbs y Iain Glen.

Su adaptación musical de Lo que el viento se llevó, se estrenó en el New London Theatre en abril de 2008, tras varias críticas, y se representó por última vez el 14 de junio del mismo año después de sólo 79 funciones. En diciembre de 2008 dirigió una nueva versión de A Little Night Music en la Menier Chocolate Factory. Nunn ha declarado que planea llevar esta producción a Broadway; no se sabe si los mismos actores harán los papeles.

Vida personal
Nunn está casado con la actriz Imogen Stubbs con quien tiene dos hijos, Ellie y Jesse. Con su primera esposa, la actriz Janet Suzman, tuvo un hijo, Joshua, y otros dos, Laurie y Amy, con su segunda esposa Sharon Lee-Hill. Fue condecorado con la Orden del Imperio Británico en 2002.

Changing the date for the FT500WVB watch is easy. Just pull out the stem of the watch to its first stop. Then turn the stem counter clockwise a couple of twists and the displayed date will increment (that is increase) by one day and you will hear a little click. Keep twisting the stem counterclockwise and the date will increase by one each time with a little click. Stop when you reach the correct date and push the stem back in to its fully seated rest position. Note- be careful not to change the date when the watch displays a time between 9pm and 1 am as setting the date in this time range may cause the watch to increment the date at noon rather than midnight.
Note also that if you want to set the time you just pull out the stem to its second stop position and twist the stem to advance the position of the hands of the watch. Then when the time is set, push the stem back in to its lowest rest position. So remember- first stem stop sets the date and second stem stop sets the time. That's it.
The watch should have only one stem on the side, if this is so, you pull the stem all the way out two clicks to set time, but you pull it out only one click to set day and date, at one click you turn one way for date and other way for date, to use indiglo you push stem in. If your watch has more than one stem please notify me. I hope this helps!
the date can be set but pulling the crown on it's first position only the date will move on this, you have to spin the crown counter clockwise. i hope i had been helped you.
To set the date is a easy operation.Just pul one position the krone out une position and rotate down.See the tutorial and do the same thing.
How do I set the date on Michael Kors chronograph watch? I thought it was set, but after February the date is 3 days behind.
I just set mine.....the stem has to be barely pulled out, there are two stem setting but the first is very easy to miss. Once you barely have it out turn and you will see the date change.
Setting Date. Seiko SGF204 (w/ 7N43 Band) French & English Days.
If you pull out the stem 1/2 way, you set the date one direction, and the day the other. If you pull it out all the way, it moves the hands and sets the time.
Had Pulsar analog watch. Couldn't set either day or date properly due to being unable to signify AM or PM. When days changed one or the other would be 12 hours off.
""googled" adjusting Pulsar watches" and found site which explained how. You set day of week and date to previous day and date and then move watch time ahead until day and date are correct. Then set watch time. Seems to work.
Try this method. Set the date until it reads a couple of days in the past and then set the correct time. Of course do not touch your date or time settings between the hours of 9PM-1AM. Wait until the next day, then move the hour hand forward until you reach the current date with the correct time.
