The Divine in the Daily
Posted on June 27, 2019 June 27, 2019 by petegath
Raised Catholic, I was formed in a sacramental spirituality. Christ in the bread and the wine, the very presence of Christ is in ordinary, daily bread, broken and shared. "Give us this day our daily bread." I expected to experience the presence of the divine, in ordinary, common, essential physical objects—bread, wine, water, oil, candles.
My sacramental spirituality was deepened by seven years at St. John's Abbey and University, three of those years I was a Benedictine monk. The Rule of St. Benedict emphasizes the sacredness of the ordinary, of the daily. God is present in a schedule of daily prayer, in regular times for silence, in the rhythm of prayer and work ("ora et labora"). Monks are even urged "to regard all the vessels of the monastery and all its substance, as if they were sacred vessels of the altar" (Rule of Benedict chp. 31). And this divine presence in the daily is especially emphasized in the monastic practice of hospitality, "All guests who present themselves are to be welcomed as Christ, for he himself will say: I was a stranger and you welcomed me (Matt 25:35)" (Rule of St. Benedict, chp. 53)
My formation in sacramental spirituality shapes my work at Manna House. The daily tasks of hospitality are times of divine encounter. The daily tasks draw me out of myself in a discipline of love. Each task requires that I be open to a daily reality that is demanding, insistent, ongoing: folding laundry, making coffee, filling sugar containers, wiping down the picnic tables, the benches, and chairs before opening, taking out trash, sorting donations, cleaning the shower room and the small bathroom. What could be drudgery is an invitation to divine encounter.
This sacramental spirituality is most important in the daily demand to open my eyes to see Christ in the guests who come for showers, clothing, coffee, and a place of sanctuary from the streets. To the Catholic list of seven sacraments, an eighth sacrament is added. I learned early on the definition of a sacrament, "an outward sign instituted by Christ to give grace." In Matthew 25:31-46, Jesus clearly institutes the outward sign of "For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me…. Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me." (Mt 25:35-36, 40). And those who participate in this sign instituted by Christ hear these grace-filled words, "Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world" (Mt 25:34).
Christ in the stranger was invited in on Tuesday morning when we opened Manna House at 8am. Christ prayed with us and then headed to the coffee line or the showers.
I talked with Christ in the backyard. He even has the initials "J.C." A volunteer had given J.C. coffee. There was also cold water available. The thirsty were given something to drink.
A little later in the morning, I walked to the nearby Southern College of Optometry (SCO) with Christ present in two guests. The walk over was slow. Both guests have leg problems. Only one had a cane. They shared the cane. One used it for half a block, then the other for the next half block, and on. When we finally got there, they picked out frames for new glasses. SCO had given free eye exams. Manna House will buy the frames. The sick were looked after.
Meanwhile, other volunteers offered showers and clothes to Christ. Ten women showered and after them, two trans. Christ's need for some fresh clothing was met.
Christ talked with me about the meal that had been served at Manna House the previous evening. Christ had been hungry and had been given something to eat.
Christ came from 201 Poplar and got on the shower list for Thursday. He reminded me that in a previous stay out at the penal farm, Manna House had put some money "on his book" so he could get items like underwear and toothpaste. The prisoner had been attended to.
Toward the end of the morning, Christ arrived in a car driven by his wife. Christ has cancer which has metastasized from his kidneys into his lungs and other organs. He is tired and in pain. He had a doctor's appointment to get to later. I promised to pray for him and to make sure we also pray for him every morning when we open.
This is the hard edge of sacramental spirituality. God present in the daily, reaches into every corner of our lives, in the ordinary demands of life, and even into suffering and death. God invites me into the daily tasks of hospitality, and into relationship with people I might otherwise avoid, to go beyond myself. God's invitation to be open to the needs and suffering in human life (including my own), invites me to face reality. This reality punctures my illusions of self-sufficiency and makes possible my embrace of shared vulnerability. Responding to God's daily invitation, I can affirm that love, going out from myself to give myself to God and to others, is the path to fullness of life. Bread must be broken to be shared.
"Lord I believe, help my unbelief" (Mark 9:24).
I have been quietly grieving. Death has been demanding my attention. Two men were recently gunned down in Memphis. One this past weekend, and one last night. One was a prominent and wealthy white Memphian. The other was a young African American in the Frayser area wanted on several warrants. The first was murdered by an as yet unknown assailant in an apparent robbery. The other by Federal Marshals as they sought to arrest the young man. Family and friends of these men are grieving. I am saying prayers and wondering about justice in this city.
Last week, I went to a wake and a funeral for a friend who committed suicide. His long struggle with depression ended the same way as with six other friends, one of them a cousin of mine. I am grieving. I am saying prayers for my friend, his family, and friends.
In the past week, several friends have shared that they have lost a parent to death. Another has lost a brother. I am remembering my friends and their grieving in my prayers.
And death on a larger scale dominates the front pages. "100 Killed in Sudan and Dozens of Bodies Are Pulled From Nile, Opposition Says" (New York Times, June 4, 2019). "Afghan War Casualty Report: May 31-June 6," with this first sentence, "At least 50 pro-government forces and 19 civilians were killed in Afghanistan during the past week" (New York Times, June 6, 2019). "Russian jets carry out deadly bombings in Syria's Idlib," with this first sentence, "At least 25 people have been killed in aerial bombardment carried out by Russian jet fighters in Idlib region, with schools and medical centers knocked down during a continued Syrian military offensive" (Aljazeera, June 10, 2019). I am grieving and saying prayers and wondering if war will ever end.
With all this death and grieving on my heart, I saw one of our guests at Manna House looking closely at the crucifix that hangs in the "chapel" at Manna House. The chapel is an open space set apart by a storage shed on one side that creates a wall, with the other three "sides" open but under a roof supported by wooden beams. The crucifix hangs on the shed wall. A small wooden statue of St. Francis stands just to the right of the crucifix.
The chapel is often where our most vulnerable guests gather. Set apart by the shed and the roof the chapel has distinct boundaries, creating a sense of refuge that draws those who find other people's company difficult, those who are loners and/or those whose mental illness makes them uncomfortable in a crowd of people.
The guest staring at the crucifix is one of those vulnerable guests. He was shot and paralyzed from the waist down several years ago. At the same time he tries to project invulnerability. He is a young African American man known on the streets for his anger, his bitterness, and his quick resort to violence and threats of violence. He makes his way in the world through the dangerous work of selling drugs. He is a seller who also uses. There he sat, gazing intently at the cross. He knows death and was staring at this symbol of death—the cross.
"The God of Jesus' cross," James Cone wrote in The Cross and The Lynching Tree, "is found among the least, the crucified people of the world" (Cone, 23). And yet the particularity of Jesus' death by execution also includes the broader human experience of death. As a disciple of Jesus I am called to be in solidarity with the crucified—those whose deaths have come from injustice, and those whose deaths come from our human condition. As a disciple of Jesus, I am to embrace the shared vulnerability of death so that I can practice compassion and self-giving in resistance to the power of death. As Jesus himself said, "Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me" (Matthew 16:24).
Here is where I am faltering right now. I am trying to resist death (and its close friend injustice), but feel overwhelmed by its power. I am trying in prayer to listen to and for God's graciousness. But I am not hearing much. I am trying to say my prayers that those who are grieving will be comforted. But I am wondering if such condolences offer only empty words. I am like the man in the Gospel who said, "I believe, help my unbelief" (Mark 9:24).
So I am meditating on this scripture, and on this line I came across recently, "At its best, faith is the overflow of gratitude, the attempt to live as if we are loved, the fragile hope for something better on the other side of pain and death. And this feather of grace weighs more in the balance than any political gain."—Michael Gerson, "The Last Temptation," Atlantic Monthly, April 2018
May God help me, may God help the man in the wheelchair at Manna House, may God help the family and friends of Brandon Webber, and of Glenn Cofield, and may God help all of us, to feel loved by God, to live in the hope of the feather of God's grace. "I believe, help my unbelief."
Love Incarnate is a Harsh and Dreadful Thing
Posted on June 6, 2019 by petegath
Dorothy Day, one of the founders of the Catholic Worker Movement, liked to quote Fyodor Dostoevsky, from his novel, The Brothers Karamazov, "Love in action is a harsh and dreadful thing compared to love in dreams." Loving humanity in the abstract is easy. Loving a particular person is hard. Serving "the homeless" is easy. Serving the guest who is consistently cranky and demanding is hard. I get reminded of these truths almost every single day we are open at Manna House.
In the Manna House neighborhood there is a man in a wheelchair, paralyzed from the waist down from a gunshot wound he suffered several years ago. He is known as a low level drug dealer. He has a perpetual scowl on his face. The last time he was at Manna House (several months ago) he threatened to kill a volunteer. He was asked to leave, and only the pressure of many other guests sent him on his way. He is not a very pleasant person, to put it mildly.
He showed up last week and wanted to get on the shower list. Do we let him shower? After a short deliberation we recommitted ourselves to hospitality, not in the abstract, but to this person. He showered and got a fresh set of clothes to put on. As he was leaving he gave a hearty thank you to those who had served him. Even if he had not done so, it was still the right decision to offer him hospitality.
On Tuesday, a woman showed up who wanted to get on the shower list. She struggles mightily with mental illness. Her illness often renders her mean-spirited, foul mouthed, and generally difficult to work with in selecting clothing to change into after her shower. She's probably been banned from the shower list six or seven times over the past two to three years. Do we let her shower? Again, after a short deliberation we recommitted ourselves to hospitality, not in the abstract, but to this person. She came in and did fine, not great, but better than other times. It was the right decision to offer her hospitality.
Saying "no" is another part of loving in the particular and concrete that is hard. It is never easy to say "no" to a request from a guest. Sometimes, however, love and hospitality require saying "no." A guest approached me in the backyard. He asks for "special favors" almost every day he comes to Manna House. This time was no exception. On this Tuesday, his request was for a backpack. I explained that we give out backpacks on Thursdays to those on the shower list. He continued to plead his case. I continued to say, "no."
How is this love and hospitality? Love for each person who comes to Manna House means ensuring that each is treated with equal respect. If getting something depends upon the quality of a story and ingratiating one's self to the person who is purportedly "in charge" then some will be left out, some will be disrespected. Guests who are less mentally adept, less skilled at playing to my sympathy, less pleasant in look and or smell, are not treated with equal love and respect by such a system.
Further, such a system is not hospitality. Rather, it is a patronage system that simply reinforces power over and exploitation of those "in need." It casts me in the role of "savior," making me the one who decides on my own who gets what. This is ego-inflation, not hospitality. Hospitality gives to each person who comes what is made available for all through the community offering hospitality. There is a discipline to love that includes listening to and being obedient to this particular community of hospitality. That is a reality that is "harsh and dreadful" because it stings my ego.
A particular scripture helps me to see how love has to be made concrete and not left to an abstraction. "Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen" (1 John 4:20). Or as Jesus put, "Whatever you do unto the least of these you do unto me" (Matthew 25:31-46). God calls me to make my love particular, just as God did in becoming a particular human being in a particular time and place. My love has to take on flesh, or it is not love.
Moses stood in the backyard at Manna House reading from the Book of Revelation about the fall of Babylon. Around us were men and women and two children sitting at picnic tables, benches, and a few lawn chairs. We were all there, seeking sanctuary from the streets of perhaps the most powerful empire in history. Empire lives on the deadly malignancy of despising the vulnerable, of creating a system in which persons are expendable.
Moses read, "After these things I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority, and the earth was illuminated with his glory. And the angel cried mightily with a loud voice, saying, "Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and has become a dwelling place of demons, a prison for every foul spirit, and a cage for every unclean and hated bird!" (Revelation 18:1-2).
I walked toward the back of the yard where we somehow got into a conversation about where people are from.
"Brewton, Alabama."
"Valdalia, Arkansas."
"Philadelphia, Mississippi."
I had never heard of the first two, and the guests from each said they were too small to be of any importance. I had to look them up. The power of cell phones and Google went to work.
Brewton, Alabama got its start as a mill town. Two sources of water run through the town, Murder Creek and Burnt Corn Creek. Trees were harvested and lumber was produced. The usual celebration of commerce continued in the history for a while, as the town became wealthy, with timber barons building fine houses. Then a turn to something different. I read out loud from the short Wikipedia article, "In October 1934, Claude Neal, a 23-year-old African-American man arrested for the murder of a local young white woman in Greenwood, Florida, was moved to the jail in Brewton for safekeeping. After a lynch mob learned where he was being held, about 100 men came to Brewton in 30 cars and kidnapped him from the jail. He was smuggled back into Jackson County, Florida, where announcements of his planned lynching were broadcast on the radio. Neal was tortured, shot and hanged by a small group near the Chattahoochee River before his body was taken before a crowd of thousands. His body was later hanged from a tree in the Marianna courthouse square. Whites later rioted in Marianna, prompting the Florida governor to order more than 100 troops to town to put down the violence. More than 200 people were injured, mostly black, but including two police officers. Black-owned houses were looted and burned in the riots."
The backyard got quiet. White guests shifted uncomfortably in their chairs, especially the one from Brewton. African American guests were shaking their heads.
"I never heard that story before," said the guest from Brewton, "I'm not fond of that history."
"You scratch a bit here and there and that stuff comes out, all the time," said an African American guest.
"What about Valdalia? Let's move on," said an African American guest, "I know that stuff too well."
I could not find a Wikipedia article on Vidalia, Arkansas.
"Try Cherry Valley," the guest from there suggested helpfully. Sure enough an article appeared. Total population these days of about 600. Four famous residents over time. One seemed worth learning more about, Pat Hare, blues musician. He left Cherry Valley and came to Memphis where he recorded at Sun Studio. I noted this, "His guitar solo on James Cotton's electric blues record 'Cotton Crop Blues' (1954) was the first recorded use of heavily distorted power chords, anticipating elements of heavy metal music." Hare spent the last 16 years of his life in prison, where he formed a band named 'Sounds Incarcerated.'"
"Never heard of him," said the white guest from Vidalia.
We listened to one of his recordings.
"That's definitely a man with the blues," said an African American guest, "He could have been from my hometown, Philadelphia, Mississippi. I'm Choctaw. They tried to run us all out, but some of us stayed."
"Were you there when those three Civil Rights Workers were murdered in 1964?" I asked.
"Yes, a bad time, but all the times then were bad for us. You had to stay low."
I was back in the Book of Revelation. Babylon, "a dwelling place for demons." And the author of Revelation had this advice, seek a sanctuary, "And I heard another voice from heaven saying, 'Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and let you receive of her plagues. For her sins have reached to heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities" (Revelation 18:4-5).
Come out, indeed. Resist empire. Create sanctuary. Practice hospitality. Find another way.

Dialogue Writing Prompts to Spark Your Next Story
Writing Prompts / Plot
PinTweetShareLinkedInEmailShares2k
If you're struggling with writer's block, or you're just feeling uninspired, there's no better way to get writing again than with writing prompts! Dialogue writing prompts are some of my favorites to use when I'm out of ideas because they allow for much more creativity than most other writing prompts. Instead of getting a full plot idea or a specific situation to write about, all you get is a brief snapshot of dialogue to build a story around. It really puts me back into a creative mindset!
Finding good dialogue writing prompts can be a challenge, however. Most other prompts are cliché, uninspiring, or just too simple—so I put together a list of my own!
1 What are Dialogue Writing Prompts?
2 One-Line Dialogue Writing Prompts
3 Conversation Writing Prompts
4 Writing Dialogue in Stories
What are Dialogue Writing Prompts?
Dialogue writing prompts are lines of dialogue with no context, designed to make writers imagine the scenario in which a character would say those lines. These prompts encourage writers to take an imaginative approach to an otherwise unremarkable saying, phrase, or fragment of conversation. There are countless ways to build a scene around a line of dialogue, and every writer is going to take a unique approach. One line could have drastically different meanings if one writer uses it in a horror story and another uses it in a romance.
The only "rule" when using dialogue writing prompts is that you must include the actual line somewhere in your story. That's part of the challenge! However, the entire purpose of the prompt is to spark ideas, so once you have your idea, you can really do whatever you'd like. You could restructure the sentence to make it fit with a particular character's speech pattern, or you could even omit it entirely. You might get halfway through and realize that your story is going in a different direction—and that's okay! As long as you're writing, the prompt has done its job.
One-Line Dialogue Writing Prompts
Sometimes, all you need to start getting ideas is a single line of dialogue. Here are some short dialogue writing prompts to get your creative gears turning!
"You know… you really don't have to."
"When she looked back at me, I thought, in that moment, that everything could be okay."
"Did you really think you'd get a second chance?"
"Ugh! It's like I'm cursed or something!"
"Hey, stupid. He likes you."
"Hmm. well, I guess that's broken."
"… Do you think it's dead?"
"He was right! We have to apologize!"
"I'll never be able to look at roses the same way again…"
"No… We'll never make it in time. We're too late."
"Whatever you do, don't press that button!"
"Don't you worry about a thing! I'm a pro at this."
"I like her. Like, I really like her. But… She scares me a little."
"Okay, that's… a fun… idea. But here's another idea! How about… we don't do that."
"You need to stop. People are going to think you're weird or something."
"What he don't know… won't hurt him. You can keep a secret, can't you?"
"Sir… I don't understand. Why are you doing this?"
"What makes her so special? What does she have that I don't?"
"I don't want to ask them! You go ask them!"
"Sometimes, life deals you a bad hand, but just like with poker, you can still play your cards right and win."
"Wait, you can hear me?"
"We have to hurry. They're coming!"
"Hey… We need to talk. Can you come down? Please…?"
"I have to say… You look different in person."
"But… I thought you were dead."
"You are no longer useful to me."
"It's time for you to repay that debt you owe me."
Conversation Writing Prompts
If one line of dialogue isn't enough to give you ideas, longer prompts might be for you. These prompts are more similar to traditional writing prompts because they give more context, and paint a bigger picture of the scene or story. With that said, they still offer more flexibility and creative opportunity than other writing prompts.
Here are some longer bits of conversation you can use as writing prompts!
"Did you eat your breakfast?"
"Get over yourself. You can't avoid taking care of yourself forever."
"Yes, I can."
"Why don't you come over? I missed seeing you today."
"Sure, I can do that. Should I head over now?"
"In a few minutes. My parents are going on a date tonight, so if you want to avoid being questioned about your ambitions again, give it a few minutes."
"Haha, okay. I have to borrow the car from my dad anyway, which might take some convincing."
"I don't think you understand the gravity of this situation."
"Dude, I don't think I understand anything."
"Took you long enough."
"Sorry, I had some… loose ends to tie up first."
"You can't get rid of me that easily!"
"Oh, but I'm not trying to get rid of you. I have other plans for you…"
"Is there going to be alcohol? Don't lie."
"Drugs?"
"I haven't had this much fun since we got chased by that mob last year!"
"I'm beginning to think there's something wrong with you."
"I regret… everything…"
"Regret won't change what you've done. Regret won't bring them back."
"You think I don't know that?"
"That was exhilarating! I've never felt more alive!"
"Wanna do it again?"
"You know… The first time I took a life, it haunted me for years."
"It comes easy to you now, doesn't it?"
"… It does."
"You have a warrior's heart."
"No… I don't think I have a heart at all."
"You have thirty seconds to explain yourself before I call the cops."
"Wait! Don't do that, they'll kill me!"
"I'm not human."
"Are you sure this is the right place?"
"Um… at least 30% sure."
"That's not- ugh whatever. Just start looking around."
"I think I have a plan!"
"Does it involve explosions?"
"… Maybe."
"Then we're not doing it. Anyone else have any ideas?"
"I know he can be… A lot to handle. But he's just misunderstood, I promise!"
"He killed someone."
"On accident!"
"I never want to see him again."
"Oh, that's a shame, because he's in the other room."

Writing Dialogue in Stories
Writing dialogue is challenging, and it's something I personally struggled with for a long time. Being able to convey the nuances of conversation, as well as giving each character a unique voice, takes a lot of practice to get comfortable with. Practicing writing dialogue is the best way to improve your skills, and working with writing prompts can make the process more fun. Just because you need to practice doesn't mean writing should feel like homework!
Have fun, and write on!


The whole process of moving a painting from one gallery to another can begin up to a year in advance, and certainly two or three months before an exhibition opens, with risk assessments and method statements penned long before the work even sees a crate.
Some of the paintings that are transported are priceless. However, financial value is not necessarily the primary drive behind the care taken and the money spent to keep a painting safe on a long journey. For small pieces, such as miniatures, small works on paper or sculptures, it may be possible to send them encased in a purpose-built box as 'hand carry' on a passenger jet. The work will have its own seat in business class (sometimes even two) and technicians board the plane to ensure it is properly strapped in. Larger pieces must travel in the hold but lack of height in the cabin can be a challenge. We have designed special crates that tilt the artwork at an angle if necessary, allowing them to travel on a passenger plane rather than as freight, which is often more expensive and fraught with problems. This is a way of saving the gallery both money and stress. Oversize items have no other option but to travel by freight and the big issue is that very few airports in the UK, including Heathrow, have the capacity to take large freight deliveries. So freight planes often land in Europe before cargo is sent by airline trucks to London, which is by no means ideal.
Airports pose two major challenges for the moving of art: dealing with forklift drivers and dealing with customs. Technicians will normally need to be on hand to ensure airport forklift drivers slow down and take more care, and then at customs where a mound of paperwork is required to navigate issues around VAT and duty. Many museums and galleries are registered in the government's National Imports Relief Unit system and are exempt from paying VAT and duty on artworks imported to be displayed rather than sold. But even so the process can be complicated.
Having travelled by business class, the same luxury greets works of art on the road as they are transported in specially designed trucks to their destination. On-board CCTV allows couriers to monitor their cargo throughout the journey (they can even tune in remotely through a secure link). Loaded by specially trained technicians, the vehicles are equipped with air suspension to mitigate the damaging effects of vibration plus temperature, and humidity controls to keep the environment as close to a museum environment as possible.
So how can a gallery save costs when moving art around? Return loads and part loads are a good option, especially if there are no time restrictions on when an item is collected or delivered. For instance, if a consignment has been taken to Edinburgh from London, a truck may well be returning home empty − and a deal can be struck to use it for the opposite journey. The more flexible a gallery is, the lower costs are likely to be. If there is no deadline, items can be stored in a specialist warehouse and delivered when the truck is already due to go out.
A transit frame (t-frame) can be attached to the back of the painting and may be suitable if the journey is being made by truck rather than air. It secures the picture into a frame, preventing any damage to the front of the painting, and is then wrapped in polythene. The shocks and vibrations of a road journey can easily be transmitted straight to the painting if using this method, so it is vital to insist on using a truck with air suspension and with expert technicians on board to ensure its safety.
The least expensive method of packing is soft wrapping, which involves wrapping the frame in tissue, polythene or foam. Needless to say it requires careful handling.
For total safety, for particularly sensitive items, and for those with no budget restrictions, paintings can be placed in a t-frame and then inserted into a crate for extra protection.
A huge and all too common problem are delays. For international shipments the biggest delays can occur at customs, so having the correct documentation is absolutely vital − an experienced art shipper can make all the necessary arrangements. For small items that can be taken on a plane as hand-carry, this is a far quicker option than choosing to send it by road – and it is economical too. Insist on a transport partner that has satellite tracking systems in its trucks, meaning traffic jams can be avoided as well as being able to monitor the progress remotely for added security.
Understating the difficulty of a job can also cause delays when technicians arrive to move works of art or museum pieces. It is crucial to furnish movers with full details of what is being moved and where they are picking up from, and to know in advance if the pieces will need any special handling or need to be rehung when they are returned to their original destination.
Unfortunately some artworks do get damaged en route. A condition report should be made before an item travels and then again on arrival. Many museums and public galleries ask their conservation staff to write these reports as they are vital if a damage claim has to be made. Taking digital photos is a good idea too.
The cost of insuring some works of art is prohibitive, especially for public museums and galleries. So to enable loans to be made, the UK government can cover most of the risk under its UK Government Indemnity Scheme, provided the transport company used is registered as an expert mover. Other governments across the world have similar schemes.

Real Madrid Line Up Shock Summer Swoop for Former Striker Morata if Lewandowski Bid Fails
Real Madrid are considering a shock bid for former striker Alvaro Morata, signed by Chelsea from the Spanish giants just last summer.
Los Blancos sold the Spaniard to the Blues last summer for an initial £58m, despite his excellent minutes per goal record last season.

Fans were not happy with his departure at the time, and the Spanish giants appeared to miss Morata quite a bit earlier on in the current season, with Karim Benzema struggling for consistency in front of goal - a time when Morata enjoyed his best period of form for his new club.
Things haven't gone quite so well for the 25-year-old in the second half of the season - he hasn't scored a goal in the Premier League since Boxing Day.
As reported by the Mirror, Madrid are ready to swallow their pride and admit they were wrong to sell Morata by making an offer for the striker - if they fail to land Bayern Munich hitman Robert Lewandowski.
Shaun Botterill/GettyImages
The Poland international is supposedly the top target but Bayern would surely not let him go without a fight.
If Morata moved back to the Bernabeu this summer it would be his third time signing for Real in his career so far. He scored 11 goals during his first stint, and then hit 20 in all competitions last season after returning from Juventus, before arriving in the Premier League with Chelsea.


I've launched into a strange new land I have never experienced before called "dating." Further, this now takes place online.
I'm newly divorced. I divorced my husband for many reasons, both personal and philosophical. Those might be fun things to talk about.
I fell in love with someone else. It didn't work out as planned. This might be fun to talk about, too.
I've launched into a strange new land I have never experienced before called "dating." Further, this now takes place online. Believe me, this one is worth talking about.
I've kind of decided marriage is an antiquated custom that no longer suits our (terrible) instant gratification society. I can't understand why we are saddling ourselves with these monogamous arrangements when we live so long and there are so many delightful people out there to connect with mentally and physically.
Yet. I still hope for someone that I'd never want to leave. Someone who, even though I see and am seen by all the other guys, makes me want to be at home curled against his side. For a brief moment that took years and years to find, I had this. I lost it. I fear I'll never find it again.
I have kids. They are awesome. I'm now a single parent. Their dad has a fun, bustling household with a new girlfriend and her son and a new dog. My house is quiet and calm and organized exactly how I want it. I'm trying to help my kids make heads or tails out of their two very different homes. This might be fun to discuss.
I have never before lived independently. Never had an apartment by myself. Never managed my own finances. This creates interesting opportunities. This also sometimes makes me feel 22. And not in the good way. Just another fun topic.
I'm flying blind here. My parents are deceased. I have two sisters; the rest of my family is simply the friends I choose. I'm trying to build a network of various ages and genders and interests to sustain my soul and my curiosity and my thirst for other perspectives. Really, I need some older friends to give me advice.
As I change and grow, I sharpen my focus professionally on what I hold most dear. I care about education and building quality culture (for all ages). I've built a company that helps young kids with special needs. I want to see the arts take center stage in our classrooms and communities. I also want people to make decisions based on science and not nonsense.
I am in a period of pretty intense self-discovery. What do I want to do? Where do I want to go? Who do I want to be? I'd like to take you on that journey with me. I promise to serve only honest observations herein. I'll share the funny and the poignant and the intense and the silly things that happen in the world of a mid-30's divorcee who is striving for joy. Hope everyone's buckled in. I've a feeling it's going to be some ride.

Glasgow Music and Film Festival returns for its sixth year snug inside the arms of the Glasgow Film Festival with events from 20 February to 2 March. The 2014 programme is laden with inimitable film, footage and performance. My excitement for this yearly calendar event has reached a peak with the quality of the 2014 schedule, a section of which I have highlighted after this rather swell photo of my Grrrl Kathleen.
This year, the Glasgow Music and Film Festival have a trinity of stimulating live scoring events. Heading this are Admiral Fallow with a Glasgow Film Festival commission to celebrate its tenth anniversary. The full event will feature both new material written to accompany bespoke visual content entitled Ten Takes, as well as familiar sounds played to the backdrop of William S Manson's 1951 collection of footage Glasgow, No Mean City. The shots of bygone Glasgow against Admiral Fallow's luscious, layered folk-pop suggest a wistful evening.
Dutch minimalist composer and lute lover (who isn't?) Josef van Wissem will provide a live score to Partir To Live. The artist was presented the Soundtrack Award at the 2013 Cannes International Film Festival for his work on Jim Jarmusch's Only Lovers Left Alive. Partir To Live is the directorial debut of Domingo Garcia-Huidobro who describes the work as 'an experience into sensations, ethical confusion, and physical and psychic contusions'. If you wish to be even more intrigued by the Chilean experimental film then you can watch the trailer here.
Once again the Music and Film Festival will return to Pollokshaws Burgh Hall to utilise the venue's Wurlitzer pipe organ. Speedy is the silent film selection for this year led by the physical and gentle comedy of Harold Lloyd. Set in New York, Speedy is delightful caper with glorious shots of twenties Manhattan.
Another great strength of the festival has always been the gigs programmed in connection with films and this year is no different. For Requiem For Detroit at The Arches, Pressure present a DJ set by Carl Craig. The techno icon is a fitting selection as the documentary gazes into the slump of the city alongside the positive creative culture that has blossomed. Craig has been a techno and house ambassador to his home whilst supporting the engagement of electronic music within it his entire career.
Mistaken For Strangers is an unofficial tour documentary of The National shot by frontman Matt Berninger's younger brother, Tom. Hired as a roadie for the tour, Tom proves a hindrance in the way that only a sibling can manage whilst also assisting to reveal a little seen side of the band's identity. Lost Map's Rozi Plain who supported The National on their last European tour will perform after the screening. I don't know whether the film or gig calls to me more!
Finally, I would like to mention one of the more straight-ahead viewings of the festival, which is the Scottish premier of Kathleen Hanna documentary, The Punk Singer. If the next paragraph turns into a massive flap of the fangirl variety, it cannot be helped. Hanna, who returned to music last year with new outfit The Julie Ruin is the indisputable queen of Riot Grrrl. In Sini Anderson's film, Hanna addresses her career from pioneering punk act Bikini Kill through to her days in Le Tigre (oh the dancing I've had to Friendship Station in my excitement over this film's premier). Supported by interviews with Adam Horovitz, Tavi Gevinson, Kim Gordon, Carrie Brownstein, Corin Tucker, Joan Jett, Johanna Fateman, JD Samdon and Kathi Wilcox this looks to be a definitive record of the feminist figure. The evening will be introduced by Chvrches singer and synth-est Lauren Mayberry, co-founder of layered collective TYCI; for women, by women.

"The Law came in…"
Too much salvation-history and far too much systematic theology is read into Romans. I do realize, of course, that Paul writes about the promise to Abraham, Israel's mission and failure, and the Law's role on the stage of human history. But it seems to me that we ought to give serious consideration to reading some passages more mundanely. Perhaps Paul is speaking of matters "closer to the ground" than we've realized.
After all, Paul writes a pastoral letter to the Roman church(es) and not a systematic theology. Most commentators begin with this observation and then forget about it altogether when it comes to considering isolated passages.
An example is Romans 5:20-21. Verses 18-19 summarize a salvation-historical section involving the emergence of the cosmic power of Sin, humanity in Adam, and salvation in Christ.
Paul then relates all of this to the Roman church(es) in vv. 20-21. It can be read as follows:
The Law came in (to Rome) with the result that transgressions would increase; but where sin increased, grace abounded even more, so that as sin reigned in (spreading) death (throughout the Roman community), grace would reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Paul may be referring to the renewed emphasis on Jewish identity with the return of Jewish-Christians from expulsion in 54 C.E. With their return and the accompanying emphasis on the Law, the Jewish calendar, and Jewish patterns of community life, the mixed-race Roman Christian community is divided and discouraged.
That Paul would refer to this renewed emphasis on Law-observance in this way ("the Law came in") finds a precedent in Augustine's reference to a similar phenomenon about 15 years earlier.
Robert Jewett says the following in the introduction to his commentary:
Martin Hengel, followed by Herman Lichtenberger, draws an inference from Augustine's remark in Ep. 102.8 that the "Law of the Jews" arrived in Rome from Syria either during or shortly after Caligula's reign (37-41 C.E.), namely that this pertained to what was perceived to be a form of Judaism brought into the synagogues from the east. The information that Augustine says came from Porphyrius's tract against the Christians is as follows: "It was after a long time that the Jewish law appeared and flourished within the region of Syria, and after that, it gradually moved toward the coasts of Italy; but this was not earlier than the end of the reign of Caesar Gaius, or at the earliest, while he ruled." Since Augustine had earlier contrasted the lex Judaica vetus with the lex nova of Christianity, and in view of the unlikelihood that Porphyrius believed that Judaism itself first arrived in Rome at this late date, he probably refers to a particular Jewish teaching derived from Syria, which was the area from which the first organized Christian mission movement is reported in Acts 13-14 (p. 58).
It makes good sense to envision a returning Jewish faction of the Christian community agitating for its former role of influence and place of prominence. They are using the Law to buttress their claims for priority in God's economy.
The result, understandably, is division and discouragement.
Scholars have struggled to get to grips with Paul's negative statements about "the Law," which seem at odds with a genuine understanding of the Law as Scripture. Might it be that Paul occasionally uses nomos as shorthand for this renewed emphasis, this misuse of the Law which has created and is fostering division?
More to come on this angle of approach to Romans…

I whole heartedly agree with your post here Tim. I believe that Paul uses both Jewish and Greek terminology when addressing the Jews and Gentile believers… and pulls the rug from under their feet..
In chapters 12 / 13 he starts to build them up as a unified body… in chapter 13 we see a reversed swing when he tells the Jews to obey the Gentile rulers and tells the Gentiles that the Jewish law is good….
Unless we are able to see and immerse ourselves into the narrative story of Romans we will always continue to miss what Paul is saying.
Even before Augustine, Origen noted the diversity of meanings for "law" in Romans. There is a short study of this called "The Diversity of Laws in Origen's Commentary on Romans" by R. Roukema. I don't know if Origen makes the same observation as Augustine, but it may be worth checking out.

Thanks for this. It's been long-recognized that Paul uses "law" in various ways, but it's less common to note that he may use it to refer to the re-emphasis on the Law observance at Rome, or that he uses it to refer to the pressures to Judaize in Galatians. I think his negative statements especially have to do with the pressures being brought to bear in those situations. They have far less–if anything–to do with Paul's abstracted "view" of the Mosaic Law.
By the way, since I didn't get to meet you in person, I'll say welcome to GRTS here. 🙂
Thanks, Ryan! Thrilled to be here!!

I am excited to hear more on this. I think the first concern I would have with this reading would be it seems to move from a universal observation in 5.12-19 and then it would have to localize without any obvious hints in vv. 20-21. This doesn't mean it is not a legitimate reading, but I wonder why it would be more justified than the traditional one?
Hey Brian,
It seems to me that far more of Romans 1-4 is actually closer to the ground than salvation-historical, so Rom. 5:12-19 being salvation-historical is actually the more radical departure from the normal frame of reference. And even his discussion of Adam-Christ in vv. 12-19 have reference to the two realms of humanity that the Roman Christians can inhabit via alternative habits of life there in Rome.
Beyond that, vv. 18-19 are a summary of what has just gone before. When Paul gets to his statements in vv. 20-21, he begins without a conjunction, likely indicating a slight change of focus, but at least a turn to applying the more abstracted realities described in vv. 12-19 directly to the Roman church(es).
Further, anyone and everyone struggles to make sense of Paul when he says things about the Mosaic Law that Jesus and the OT would never say about the Law. Everyone scurries for a possible referent for "Law," and in this scenario, it seems like a very good option.
It does seem like a good option and it would do a lot for reconciling Paul's own statements about the Law, let alone those of the prophets, Psalmist, Christ, etc.
You make a good point about the Roman context of 1-4. Now I'll need to go back and reread everything with this in mind.

Challenge:Draw 20% more alumni to the 2015 QU Reunion than have attended reunions in the past two years.
Obstacles:With job and family demands, it's tough to commit and travel complicates things further. There has to be real interest to bother going back to campus.
Approach:Tap into nostalgia. A shareable online checklist about unique campus facts, hangouts and events got alums to reminisce about QU and visit the reunion landing page. Targeted direct mail matched memorable QU moments to the recipient's age.
Results:A+. We hit the sign-up goal two weeks before reunion weekend. For prior reunions, the heaviest sign up happened at the door.
Challenge:Ensure a bright start to Connecticut Sun's new season. Expand the team's base to include more families.
Obstacles:Little or no connection to the team or individual players. What's more, families are active outdoors – in the real sun – during summer. Why come inside for the Sun?
Approach:Spotlight players. A special Pre-Season Media Day connected on-air radio personalities and sports broadcasters with players and coaches whose energy and charisma came shining through.
Results:Interviews and anecdotes filled airwaves all week before the opener, where an on-site radio broadcast added more buzz. Season attendance topped the team's record and exceeded the WNBA's league average.

Both entrepreneurial entities failed to lure investment capital on the ABC reality TV show. And now, both have failed in the real world.
Vermont Butcher Block & Board.
Until the past year or so, both were iconic names in Vermont representing the state's entrepreneurial spirit.
Yet both failed to lure investment capital on "Shark Tank" earlier this decade.
Vermont Butcher Block's David Glickman was rebuffed in 2013 by the ABC television shows "sharks," being scolded for appearing to beg for money.
Similarly, then-married couple Dan Holtz and Liz Holtz (now Liz Scott) huddled to rework a pitch, only to be given a final "no" by Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban.
And now, both have failed in the real world.
Currently unavailable: Vermont cookie maker Liz Lovely vanished without a trace. What happened?
The owners of Vermont Butcher Block have left behind nearly $800,000 in unpaid debts to banks, investment funds, lawyers, accountants and suppliers.
And the couple behind Liz Lovely cookies have each filed for personal bankruptcy protection, with records showing hundreds of thousands of unpaid debts related to the cookie company.
After each company's rejection on "Shark Tank," the Vermont Flexible Fund investment company made key investments -- $250,000 in the case of Vermont Butcher Block and a similar amount n the case of Liz Lovely cookies.
The idea was that the fund would receive a percentage of each company's future revenues. At this point, however, the Flexible Fund is out $205,000 from its Vermont Butcher Block investment and $225,000 from its Liz Lovely investment.
"Investing in growing companies is inherently a risky business,"Flexible Fund President Janice St. Onge says. "We try to do everything we can to mitigate those risks, but sometimes it does not work out."
In the case of Vermont Butcher Block's Dan Glickman, persistence in guerrilla marketing did not translate into sufficient profits. Known for a tie-dye suit and his constant efforts to get on "Shark Tank" before he was finally selected, Glickman and his company fell short when it came to making money.
Glickman was such a persuasive figure that his creditors thought the company was doing well even "long after he wasn't," one person left owed money says.
"He was a very good salesman and not as good a businessman," said Kevin Staudt of Vermont Commercial Warehouse, Glickman's landlord in Williston.
As for Liz Lovely, it was a darling of online reviews and social media references. But awareness of the brand exceeded the company's ability to capitalize on that.
In both companies' cases, their founders talk of the struggle to keep up with the pressures of production.
Glickman felt pressure at the time Vermont Butcher Block opened a store in Burlington, acknowledging he couldn't handle the pressure of Church Street.
"I just couldn't handle it all. I couldn't sleep at night," he said.
And as Liz Lovely was seeing its cookies on the shelves of supermarket industry superstars Whole Foods and Wegmans, its ability to produce ever-more vegan or gluten-free cookies and meet production safety standards proved quite limited.
"The challenge was we couldn't reliably make the product ourselves and grow," former Liz Lovely CEO Dan Holtz says. "We had only the equipment we had."

Last week I was walking around my yard, examining the various plants and trees, when I discovered a strange looking cocoon on our Montmorency cherry tree. It was an ugly, alien cocoon… and I was fascinated by it.
That same day I noticed several more of the strange little pods on our Winter Honeysuckle bush. Curious, I tried to pull the cocoon, or whatever it was, off the limb it clung to. It felt a little like Styrofoam between my fingers when gently squeezed. I tugged and pulled, but quickly realized the cocoon was stuck fast. It had been formed so tightly around the wood that the only way to remove it was to cut it off.
I clipped off that section of the branch so that I may bring it inside for the kids and I to examine further. I hoped to identify the moth or butterfly which would make such a strange formation.
We looked through dozens and dozens of cocoon and chrysalis images online, and flipped through the butterfly and moth sections of my bug books to no avail. Nothing that I came across even closely resembled the strange spongy sac I'd found.
We put it in a jar to watch until it hatched. I also dissected another identical pod to see if I could find a caterpillar inside, but it was only gooey in the middle.
What the heck was it??
A couple days later I was flipping through one of my favorite books on insects, Good Bug Bad Bug*, when I came across a picture that immediately caught my attention. Overwhelmed with excitement (it's the little things, people), I went around the house showing the kids what I'd discovered.
The cocoon I'd found wasn't a cocoon at all. It was a praying mantis egg!!
This was double exciting to me because praying mantises can be extremely beneficial to a garden. They eat all sorts of other bugs which would otherwise damage your plants. Finding praying mantis eggs around our yard was a great sign!
This discovery reminded me of the extreme importance of knowing good bugs from bad bugs, in all their forms and stages. Organic gardens depend on beneficial insects, birds, and other organisms to keep things balanced and healthy.
If you kill a bug (or squish an egg)… or if you cut down trees that provide habitat to native birds… not knowing if it was beneficial to your garden or not, you just might inadvertently allow pests to take over and cause major damage to your plants. You'll have a much harder time managing an organic garden without natural predators helping to keep pests in check.

Піраміда в Сейлі розташована на горі між Файюмом і Нілом, приблизно в 6 км на північ від залізниці, що з'єднує міста Васта і Файюм. Була виявлена в 1898 році Людвігом Борхардтом. А в 1987 році зі східного боку піраміди були знайдені фрагменти вівтаря і дві стели, одна з яких містила картуш фараона Снофру.

Архітектура цієї піраміди свідчить про те, що вона передувала таким пірамід Снофру, як піраміда в Мейдумі, Ламана піраміда і Рожева піраміда. Її сторони майже точно спрямовані на 4 сторони світу. Таким чином вона стала першою успішною спробою в будівництві пірамід.

Для будівництва використовувався місцевий вапняк, пісок і скріплюючі розчини.

Припускається, що у піраміди відсутні внутрішні приміщення.

 Довжина сторони основи: ≈ 25 м
 Висота (нині): ≈ 6,80 м
 Кут нахилу: 76°
 Число ступенів: 4
 Помилка орієнтації сторін до сторін світу: ≈ 0,5° (північно-західна сторона має відхилення на ≈ 12°)

Подібні цій піраміди були знайдені в Південному Едфу, Елефантині, Ель-Куле, Омбосе, Саужет Ель-Мейтіні і Сінкі — всі ці сім пірамід дуже схожі: вони віддалені від великих центрів Єгипту, мають східчасту форму і про них зовсім нічого невідомо.

Список погано вивчених пірамід

 Піраміда в Елефантині (Pyramide d'Éléphantine)
 Піраміда в Зауйет Ель-Мейтін (Pyramide de Zaouiet el-Meïtin)
 Піраміда в Сінкі (Pyramide de Sinki)
 Піраміда в Сейлі (Pyramide de Seïlah)
 Піраміда в Нагада (Pyramide de Nagada або Pyramide von Ombos)

By mid-to-late summer, I usually receive numerous calls from concerned homeowners regarding a variety of plants such as crape myrtles, gardenias, citrus, tomatoes, camellias, and pecans that have leaves covered with a crusty black substance. The complaint often describes leaves yellowing or dropping and the plant appears to be dying. This black crusty substance is called sooty mold and is very common, especially during the summer months.
Sooty mold is caused by fungi, but there is no need to apply a fungicide since insects are the root of the problem. Sap sucking insects such as aphids, white flies, mealy bugs, and soft scale secrete a sticky shiny substance called honeydew that falls on the surface of the leaves and also on anything the is located near the affected plants including other plants, vehicles, furniture etc. The insects are usually located underneath the leaves. Sooty mold grows in the honey dew and once it covers the surface of the leaves of plants it reduces the amount of light that hits the leaf surface, thereby reducing photosynthesis and the plant's ability to make food. The result is usually low vigor, yellow leaves, defoliation, and reduction in the quantity and quality of fruits, vegetables or blooms. If sooty mold is not controlled it could eventually kill some plants. I have personally made site visits to some homeowners whose gardenias were partially defoliated. On other occasions I have seen homeowners who are frustrated with Japanese blueberry trees covered with sooty mold, along with all of the plants underneath the trees. I highly recommend that before you place certain plants in your landscape, be aware of its pest problems. Several homeowners who have large Japanese blueberry trees told me that if they had been aware of the tree's susceptibility to sooty mold they would not have planted the trees.
The recommendation is not to try and directly control the sooty mold but to control the above mentioned insects. The key is to detect the insect infestation when it is low which will decrease the time needed to bring it under control. Systemic insecticides such a imidacloprid or acephate, or a contact insecticide such as malathion or insecticidal soaps or horticultural oils are options to control the insects. In terms of the use of horticultural oils, you must apply and make sure you get complete coverage on the plant including underneath the leaves. A caution regarding horticultural oils, please read instructions regarding daytime temperature limits to avoid injury to plants. Once again it is very important to monitor plants weekly to insure early detection, which will lead to more effective control.
Please see picture of frost-proof gardenia which I looked at recently. These plants were showing signs of sooty mold since last year but the homeowner didn't realize the impact of not addressing the problem. See the difference in the gardenia appearance such as fewer leaves and little or no flowers which reduces the fragrance of this Louisiana Super Plant.


As of May 2018, a new European wide directive is coming into force – The GDPR. The Queen's Speech outlined a new data protection bill to replace the current Data Protection Act 1998 and implement the new GDPR in the UK, as Brexit will not affect the UK's need to comply.
Many of the main points of the GDPR build on that established under the Data Protection Act, but there are also new elements and enhancements.
The changes place greater obligations on organisations, with potential fines for breaches as high as €20 million or 4% of global turnover.
It will no longer be enough to simply say you comply with the GDPR, you are required to demonstrate how you are complying.
The Information Commissioners Office (ICO) is the UK's independent authority set up to uphold information rights in the public, promoting openness by public bodies and data privacy for individuals, and will be ensuring the enforcement and compliance to the new GDPR.
As such, your Data Protection Officer (DPO) will need to report to the highest level, operate independently and will have adequate resources.
There are many resources and training options out there already which can help you further in understanding the regulation and how you need to comply – amongst others, XpertHR and CIPP have a number of articles and courses, whilst the ICO is of course a wealth of knowledge on the subject. Ensure you share your learning with your colleagues and fellow employees to pioneer best practice behaviours within your organisation.
Enquire with your software and/or services provider as to how they will be helping you on your journey to GDPR compliance.
Work closely with your DPO to establish your GDPR action plan and put this into play to ensure you're fully compliant as of May 2018.
It might be worth considering whether your organisation would benefit from a voluntary GDPR audit by the ICO. By volunteering early on, it is possible that the ICO will not enforce any penalties for non-compliance against your organisation, as you would have been proactive in seeking guidance from the audit. Of course, it is imperative that you double check up front that no penalties will be incurred if they do find anything!

Jason Blum Shares Project Updates From Blumhouse Productions
Posted by Brian Saeger | Jan 17, 2022 | Horror, Latest News & Rumors, Movie News | 0 |
Blumhouse Productions has made a name for itself over the years having created some of the most well-known horror franchises. Back in 2014, Blumhouse signed their partnership with Universal for a 10-year production deal. Founder, Jason Blum took to his Twitter account over the weekend to give fans some project updates. He even went into details for some other franchises that have been hard to obtain. So, if you are a big horror here's the latest and what you can expect!
Image: (© Steel Wood Studios)
Five Night's at Freddy's is one of the most popular gaming/horror franchises. The film, however, has been in some development hell. Originally, Chris Columbus (Harry Potter) was supposed to direct but left the project. In 2020, game creator Scott Cawthon shared a script in a Reddit post. Things were looking exciting as they were supposed to shoot in Spring 2021. However, any update on the film has been nada. Blum spoke in a Collider interview and said, "We're a long way from giving up. And I'm confident eventually I will figure it out."
There is some brighter news about FNAF. Over the weekend as Jason Blum answered some Q&A fan questions about the project. Here's what he had to say.
It really is still coming. I promise, guys.
— Jason Blum (@jason_blum) January 15, 2022
And the bad news side part of it…
Unclear right now
Now you are maybe asking where is the release date for the movie? Well, unfortunately, Jason Blum didn't give one and this has not been an easy road for the beloved gaming franchise. Time will only tell if it will be a 2023 release or continue to push. However, if you need your fix, a parody film that's close to FNAF is the bizarre and unusual horror film, Willy's Wonderland starring Nicholas Cage. The film came out on February 12th, 2021.

The rebooted Halloween trilogy is now "coming to an end" in Halloween Ends. Although it has been quite challenging for the franchise due to the nature of the pandemic causing delays. Originally, Halloween Kills was set for a 2020 release with Ends in 2021. Writer/Director, David Gordon Green will be back at the stabbing goodness with Jamie Lee Curtis. He mentioned some of the premises for Halloween Ends, in speaking to Empire Magazine:
"It's kind of a coming-of-age film, and it's a very different tone. And that's what excited me about it, is to have the three chapters that I've been involved in be very different from each other."
Director/Writer, David Gordon Green
At this point, October 14th, 2022 is when the final chapter of the reboot trilogy is set to hit theaters. It's not sure right now if Halloween Ends will stream on Peacock at the same time as being in theaters as Halloween Kills did. However, Jason Blum went into detail and explained down below, and about the Omicron surge.
So far. Yea. We are like the only ones shooting. My views on Omnicron are extreme. If I shared them my PR team would most likely burn down my house with me in it.
Plus an update of when production starts shooting.
Now for those who are 4K Blu-Ray/box set collectors out there, he also touched upon that as well.

Happy Death Day 3
Image: (© Blumhouse Productions)
The original Happy Death Day came out in 2017. I will just say it was a very odd and time trippy concept. Two years later. Happy Death Day 2U was released into theaters. Even though profits were decent, it still is considered a box office flop regardless. Just a couple of months ago, Jason Blum shared with Collider that "he had a plan" and is not giving up on the franchise.
He didn't really have too much to say about the third installment in his Twitter chat. But, this is the latest we have for now.
Something is stirring. I will say that
Nightmare On Elm Street And Friday The 13th
Image: ( © New Line Cinema)
You're either Team Jason or Team Freddy. There's no in-between. These two icons are among the most famous slashers in cinema history. These two icons of horror, however, are "very complicated" with their rights, and are something that Blumhouse wants to add to their collection. Let's start off with A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) from the visionary director, Wes Craven.
Freddy Krugar is portrayed by no other than Robert Englund throughout numerous films; until reboot in 2010. The reboot, however, didn't meet critics' or fans' expectations. The rights of the character reverted back towards the Craven estate in September 2019, and they have "no plans for any future" Elm Street movies. Despite New Line Cinema talks of another reboot in 2015. Any new information has gone dark since that update back in 2015.
Let's move on to Jason Voorhees, and what is up to his rights situation. The original Friday the 13th (1980) franchise gave us 9 films with the 10th, Jason X, in 2001. Then big obvious crossover movie, Freddy vs. Jason (2003) showng the slashers battling it out. The film made $116 million globally. There is still a huge fanbase for wanting more Freddy and Jason. In terms of Jason Blum and he explained down below,
Have been trying to make both for years. Can't get rights.
WHO OWNS THE RIGHTS?
Things have been pretty ugly with Jason in a complete legal battle mess between screenwriter Victor Miller and original director/producer Sean S. Cunningham. Despite the lawsuit, the franchise got a reboot in 2009. Miller won the case battle last year, but it remains unclear who owns part of the franchise and can make another film. Jason did get a gaming adaption based on the franchise and went down as another legal mess on top of that. Freddy, on the other hand, made a debut in the recent release of Mortal Kombat 11. Like Jason, Nightmare on Elm on Street has suffered the same fate as to why it's hard to make a video game. It's going to be quite a while to figure out the complicated rights.

Q: Showing $\frac{d^2}{dr^2}\left(\frac{1}{r}\frac{d}{dr}\right)^{k-1}(r^{2k-1}\phi(r))=\left(\frac{1}{r}\frac{d}{dr}\right)^{k}(r^{2k}\phi'(r))$
How to show that $\frac{d^2}{dr^2}\left(\frac{1}{r}\frac{d}{dr}\right)^{k-1}(r^{2k-1}\phi(r))=\left(\frac{1}{r}\frac{d}{dr}\right)^{k}(r^{2k}\phi'(r))$ for $k\ge 1, r>0$ and $\phi$ sufficiently differentiable

$\left(\frac{1}{r}\frac{d}{dr}\right)^{k}$ means $\left(\frac{1}{r}\frac{d}{dr}\right)\circ\left(\frac{1}{r}\frac{d}{dr}\right)\circ\dots$ (k times) and not $\frac{1}{r^k}\frac{d^k}{dr^k}$
I tried induction but it didn't work for $k=1$ it is OK on both sides I've $2\phi'+r\phi''$, then I have to take LHS I think, and normally in induction proofs one begins with $n=k+1$ and uses the the fact that it was true for $n=k$, here I think I have to begin with $n=k+2$ or not ? Otherwise I get something like,
$\frac{d^2}{dr^2}\left(\frac{1}{r}\frac{d}{dr}\right)^{k}(r^{2k+1}\phi(r))=\frac{d^2}{dr^2}\left(\frac1r\frac{d}{dr}\right)^{k-1}\left(\frac{1}{r}\frac{d}{dr}\right)(r^{2k+1}\phi(r))$
$=\frac{d^2}{dr^2}\left(\frac1r\frac{d}{dr}\right)^{k}((2k+1)r^{2k-1}\phi(r)+r^{2k}\phi'(r))$
$=(2k+1)\left(\frac1r\frac{d}{dr}\right)^{k}((r^{2k}\phi'(r))+\frac{d^2}{dr^2}\left(\frac1r\frac{d}{dr}\right)^{k}(r^{2k+2}\phi'(r))$

A: Consider the case $\underline{k=1}$
On the LHS
$\frac{d^2}{dr^2}\left(\frac1r\frac{d}{dr}\right)^{{0}}(r\phi))=\frac{d^2}{dr^2}(r\phi)=\frac{d}{dr}(r'\phi+r\phi')=2\phi'+r\phi''$
On the RHS
$\left(\frac1r\frac{d}{dr}\right)(r^{2}\phi')=\frac1r(2r\phi'+r^2\phi'')=2\phi'+r\phi''$
so they match
Assume now $\frac{d^2}{dr^2}\left(\frac1r\frac{d}{dr}\right)^{k}(r^{2k+1}\phi)=\left(\frac1r\frac{d}{dr}\right)^{k+1}(r^{2k+2}\phi')\tag1$
holds. We want to show that,
$\frac{d^2}{dr^2}\left(\frac{1}{r}\frac{d}{dr}\right)^{k+1}(r^{2k+3}\phi(r))=\left(\frac1r\frac{d}{dr}\right)^{k+2}(r^{2k+4}\phi'(r))$
