The image shows the amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum (in grey) infected by the bacterium Mycobacterium marinum (in indigo). The bacterium was caught escaping from the compartment (in peach) into the cytosol of the amoeba. The picture was taken by electron microscopy and it was artificially coloured afterwards.

Tuberculosis is one of the most severe infectious diseases in the world, responsible for more than 1.5 million deaths every year (1). The cause of this disease is the lung infection generated by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), which escapes the confinement created by our immune system to replicate and disseminate. A recent study from the University of Geneva, Switzerland, claims that assisting Mtb in its escape might actually help the macrophages fight the infection (2).
During bacterial infections, immune phagocytes recognize and swallow the pathogenic intruders, trapping them inside membranous "walled" compartments. Acting like cruel guards, the immune cells remove nutrients from these "jails" and deliver toxic compounds, eventually killing the prisoner bacteria. But Mtb is armed. This bacterium carries a weapon capable of perforating the confining compartment walls to escape into the less hostile cytosol of the immune cell (see Figure). There, mycobacteria gain easier access to nutrients, an essential process to ensure growth and dissemination to neighboring cells. This cycle of growth and spreading finally produces the tuberculosis disease. Fortunately, the immune system of healthy, non-immunocompromised people can avoid the replication and dissemination of the bacteria by activating a defense mechanism called "xenophagy." This "eating the foreigner" process allows the macrophage to recapture the Mtb escapees into reinforced compartments made of double membrane walls, permanently incapacitating the bacteria.
Problems arise when Mtb infects an immunocompromised person whose immune system cannot fight the replicating bacteria or, even worse, when a person is infected with an antibiotic-resistant Mtb. Due to the inappropriate use of antibiotics, Mtb is developing resistance to drugs that were successfully tackling tuberculosis before. To address this problem, scientists are seeking a new strategy. Instead of researching new bacteria-killing drugs, to which Mtb again rapidly develops resistance, one can try to render our immune system more aggressive against those bacteria. Swiss researchers have discovered a putative target for such a "defense-boosting" strategy.
The group of Prof. Thierry Soldati proposes to interfere with a protein machinery called ESCRT (from endosomal sorting complexes required for transport) in order to strengthen the fight against tuberculosis. Dr. López-Jiménez, an author of the study, discovered that infected cells can sense perforations of their walls induced by escaping mycobacteria, and how these cells use the ESCRT machinery to repair the holes and retain the escapees inside the resealed compartment. These scientists noted that incapacitating the ESCRT machinery facilitated the escape but at the same time improved the attack by xenophagy, resulting in more efficient control of the recaptured bacteria.
What renders this study even more captivating is the laboratory model of tuberculosis used by the researchers. Instead of observing these processes inside an infected macrophage, they used another natural voracious phagocyte, the soil amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum. This amoeba has properties similar to human immune cells and can be infected with Mycobacterium marinum (Mmar), a close relative of Mtb. Mmar normally causes a tuberculosis-like disease in fish and frogs, and its danger to humans is very limited. This makes Mmar a friendlier object of research than its deadly cousin Mtb. In addition, because such infection and defense processes are conserved during evolution, this amoeba has become a useful tool for microbiologists to study infectious diseases.
The ESCRT machinery had recently been involved in the repair of membrane damage, but this is the first detailed report of the role of ESCRT in containing bacterial infections. This work opens the door to investigate new drugs that do not directly combat Mtb, or bacteria with similar escape strategies but boost the cellular defense systems of the patient to fight the infection, a treatment that would not be accompanied by the development of antibiotic resistance.
These findings are described in the article entitled The ESCRT and autophagy machineries cooperate to repair ESX-1-dependent damage at the Mycobacterium-containing vacuole but have opposite impact on containing the infection, recently published in the journal PLOS Pathogens.

Tee up your week at the GEOINT 2011 Symposium with a round of golf and innumerable networking opportunities at the Allder Golf Classic. Named in honor of William R. Allder Jr., the golf tournament proceeds help fund the annual USGIF Scholarship Program, which supports students pursuing education excellence in fields related to the geospatial intelligence tradecraft.
As processing speed and data storage follow Moore's Law and evolve away from being limiting factors in information gathering and analysis, the amount of data available to an analyst reaches a point of effective saturation. Efforts to take advantage of multiple observables, automatically fused into information, provide opportunities to replace this saturation with new insight. The key will be creating new concepts both for the merging of the data streams, and intuitive, accessible display of the resulting information. There is room for the entire community to contribute to this process, but especially for academia to provide innovative solutions to both the merge and display efforts. Speakers in this session will address technical and research issues associated with creation and display of fusion applications from government, developer, academic, and commercial perspectives.
This session brings together leaders from across the diplomacy, development, defense, and intelligence communities to discuss the challenges and opportunities that GEOINT tradecraft is bringing to socio-cultural analysis in the prosecution of whole of government national security goals. The goal of this overview session is to broaden the audience's awareness far beyond "the human terrain" and to shine a light on the wide range of national security activities that require a spatio-temporally aware understanding of the socio-cultural dynamics that shape security operations, whether they be CT, COIN, FID, SSTRO, HADR or security operations that fall outside of the established Defense Department categories.
This participatory session explores possible future scenarios for the GEOINT community to appreciate prospective professional development issues through the lens of workers, educators, learners, and administrators. This offers a view to anticipate the future challenges of teaching and learning while generating ideas that might not have arisen from a strictly andragogical and pedagogical perspective. Speakers in this session will provide their vision of the future and a perspective the implications for the tradecraft and the geospatial intelligence professional.
Airborne and ground video collections (including collections systems commonly referred to as Wide-Area Surveillance, Wide-Area Persistent Surveillance, Wide-Area Motion Imagery, Full-Motion Video and Immersive Video System) have created a great problem for the intelligence community that inverts the old problem of a lack of data. We now have more video data than we can process and analyze. Turning data into information and subsequently analyzing this information is the focus of this panel discussion. HOW do we analyze all of this data? WHAT do we consider analysis and how much of this analysis can today be automated? During this session we will explore the current state-of-the-art and future trends for analyzing WAS/WAPS/WAMI/FMV/IVS.

Mobile devices such as smart phones and tablets have become ubiquitous and are starting to provide powerful new platforms for GEOINT-on-demand. This presents compelling opportunities as well as significant challenges. Speakers in this session will address technical and research issues associated with mobile GEOINT applications from government, developer, academic, and commercial perspectives.
Moderators: Mike Dean, Principal Engineer, Raytheon BBN Technologies; Jack Greenspan, Senior Associate, Booz Allen Hamilton; and Terry Kanka, Software Systems Engineer, Principal Staff, The MITRE Corp.

This session is designed to let implementers of socio-cultural projects across diplomacy, development, defense and intelligence communities, convey the lessons learned about the challenges of geospatially enabling socio-cultural data. Leaders of operationally focused programs and analytically versed practitioners supporting the operators will capture what works, what does not, and where we should be going as a community in the future as Human Terrain confronts Advanced Analytics. This includes lessons from USSOCOM's Skope Cell, the Human Terrain System, the Culture Map program, USCENTCOM Human Terrain, and other path breaking programs.
Space and time provide the basic analytical framework to make connections among observations and knowledge to aid understanding and improve decision making. From natural processes to human activities, the ability to detect patterns and relationships in space and time holds the key to drawing insights from seemingly chaotic and random occurrences. Expanding beyond transactional and time-step analysis of temporal patterns is necessary to leverage time for advancing spatio-temporal integration. This session includes short presentations on current research in space-time analytics and an interactive panel-led discussion on research needs to address various GEOINT related foci, such as DI2E, new data sources (crowd sourcing), social-cultural applications, and activity-based intelligence.
Technologies which are easy to use by individuals not trained in geospatial tools and techniques are now prevalent and have opened up new sources of geospatial data. In addition, they have provided new and emerging ways of collecting not only geospatial data but of integrating location with other types of information. Social media, Smart Phones, and other mobile devices are creating new ways in which data and information is being gathered by individuals and is creating opportunities and challenges for the geospatial community in building effective ways of using these new capabilities to help address public purpose needs in a sustained long-term infrastructure.
This session is designed to examine practitioners and technology enablers who are pushing the bounds of Human Socio-Cultural technologies, from the social science to the technology, from organizing DoD's big data to enabling open source technologies to speed the rate of development and understanding of Human Terrain. These panel members are designing and building the Socio-Cultural technologies across DoD, and have a unique technical perspective on geospatially- and temporally-enabled technologies being implemented across DoD and the Intelligence Community. These technologists and program managers will discuss what works and how to implement these technologies in the DoD and Intelligence Community.
The technology pioneered by Google earlier this century is starting to impact the way conduct GEOINT analytics. There isn't an online business with the scale of GEOINT that doesn't use HADOOP to power its success; companies like Facebook, Twitter, Amazon rely on Big Data to provide the online experience that leverage massive amounts of data in a way that makes our lives better. We know the technology is powerful, but there are many questions to answer. How do we get started? How is security impacted? How do I interact with other agencies? Who is responsible for managing the data? Our panel will discuss these questions and more, and we invite your input (#GEOINTBigData).
Join your colleagues at Sunset Station for the GEOINT 2011 Welcome Reception. Providing the event's theme, USGIF presents Six Flags Over Texas, a tribute to the unique blend of culture, cuisine and celebration giving Texas its distinct character.

The Turkish regime's relentless will to destroy the HDP
Publié par KEDISTAN | 15 Déc 2020 | Analyses, English, Répression d'Etat, SOUTIENS
Ever since the Peoples' Democratic Party's electoral success in June 2015 the regime has attempted with every means to destroy popular support for the Party, as well as the Party itself.
This Kurdish movement chose a political offer for all the peoples of Turkey. And it is on this basis that the different movements stemming from anti-regime struggles of the preceding years joined up (See complete article The HDP "Pro-Kurdish Party" an unbearable media jingle – in French).
The unilateral break in negotiations with the Kurdish movement (known as the "resolution process") intervened in 2015. It marked the brutal end to a period of overtures where a few fundamental rights could be exercised. It announced a period of exactions, discriminations and repressions.
The conflict opened in Kurdistan, in eastern Turkey when the regime massed troops and militias against towns and districts that had declared their "autonomy", applying de facto the demands expressed during the discussions. These declarations served as the reason for declaring a state of siege and curfews, bombings and the destruction of entire neighborhoods that resisted. These resistance struggles of 2015 are also known as the "war of trenches" based ib the example of the martyred towns and neighborhoods destroyed by the Turkish State. These bloody and murderous episodes were added on as a supplementary layer to the long history of oppression of the Kurdish people, following on the black decades of 1980 and 1990. This time, the murderous element was not Kemalist militarism but the Erdoğan regime, aided by officers of the Gülen brotherhood, who were then accomplices of the crimes against the Kurdish populations.
For further reading on this topic, you may consult Kedistan's archived materials of the second half of the year 2015.
To this police and military offensive were added a will to politically destroy the HDP which was resisting as best it could.
In March 2016, the lifting of parliamentary immunity was requested for certain elected members of the HDP Party, among them Selahattin Demirtaş and Figen Yüksekdağ who were then its Co-Presidents. On November 4 2016, the elected members were arrested, then incarcerated. They are still in prison.
Of course, none of this has anything to do with the "failed coup d'état" of July 2016. But Erdoğan fully exploited the bonus it provided. And proceeded to charge the leaders with accusations of "terrorism", "separatism", "gulenism" , all terms that became of common usage in the regime's tribunals of injustice, just as they still are nowadays.
In 2016, numerous HDP offices were attacked by ultranationalists. These attacks are still occurring sporadically.
In this year of 2020, after the HDP has managed to maintain its popular support in the elections of the previous five years, despite the "bloodletting" imposed on it, the regime has further accentuated these political and repressive offensives.
A number of members and leaders of the HDP are in prison or in a constant back and forth in and out of it. To this day, 73 HDP mayorlties have found themselves placed under governmental administrators following the withdrawal of the Co-Mayors from their duties, and their arrest.
No later than yesterday, the Minister of the Turkish Interior, Süleyman Soylu, in a marathon speech to the National Assembly spoke of "developments" in different Kurdish towns, congratulating himself for action "oh! Oh so well done' like a school boy, "Oh! Ooooh! The money isn't going to the PKK, it is going to the Nation, Oh, oh! We have taken back 73 city halls and placed administrators in them. Take down notes!" he cried with unrestrained rage, "694 years of prison are demanded against these mayors!" … Applause followed…
This 40 minute long speech before the Turkish Assembly would deserve an article and a translation all its own. Mixed together, we find in it every possible combination attributing "terrorism" to the HDP, putting it on an equal footing with the Italian Mafia, the Basque independentists and the Golden Dawn in Greece… Find the mistake. The common feature HDP+PKK, that great classic, is also trotted out, charging the HDP of "crimes", with a number of photographs, and treating young victims of the repression of "child terrorists". Selahattin Demirtaş whose liberation is demanded by the European Tribunal of Human Right is also labelled as a terrorist leader. The speech also served to justify all the upcoming repression, combining "peace and unity of the Nation" and "a unwavering struggle against the terrorists'.
Already, in June 2020, Kedistan spoke in a column of a kind of media embargo, of the efforts by the ones and the others to render this progressist and democratic party invisible and inaudible, and of sulfurous whiffs of a desire for its annihilation…
Last October 20, with an opinion column written in prison, Selahattin Demirtaş in person denounced "a plot against the HDP on the back of Kobanê".
Nothing surprising in this for a State that is no longer under the rule of Law. You already know what we think of States themselves, but when the one in Turkey becomes a Cartel regime, no trace of justice can subsist.
For the past few days, there is again a question of lifting the immunity of the few remaining HDP deputies who are still free… The 29 new requests for the lifting of Parliamentary immunity submitted recently to the Turkish National Assembly's bureau concern opposition deputies, essentially those elected for the Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP). Indeed, 23 of the requests would suppress parliamentary immunity for 17 deputies of this party, including its Copresident Mithat Sancar.
From left to right: Ayşe Sürücü (1 request), Berdan Öztürk (2), Feleknas Uca (2), Garo Paylan (1), Gülüstan Kılıç Koçyiğit (1), Habip Eksik (1),Hişyar Özsoy (2), Hüseyin Kaçmaz (1), İmam Taşçıer (2), Meral Danış Beştaş (1), Mithat Sancar (1), Murat Sarısaç (1), Nuran İmir (3), Ömer Faruk Gergerlioğlu (1), Ömer Öcalan (1), Sezai Temelli (1), Tayip Temel (1).
We have chosen here to translate and to present a summary of a report from 2015. This report anticipates the ongoing repression, and states the reasons for it, on top of the anti-Kurdish nationalist racism underlying the regime and the policy of its coalitions of interests.
This "Kurdish Report" was established in September 2015 by the SETA Foundation, a think tank closely linked to the AKP.
Before looking at it, a bit of information:
What is SETA?
The SETA Foundation, in Turkish, "Siyaset, Ekonomi ve Toplum Araştırmaları Vakfı" and in English the "Foundation for Political, Economic and Social Research" is a political "think tank" based in Ankara. With one click one learns on Wikipedia that the group was created in 2006 in order to produce "knowledge and up-to-date and precise analyses in the areas of politics, the economy and society" and "to inform deciders and the general public on the evolution of political, economic, social and cultural conditions". Burhanettin Duran has served as its general coordinator since 2014. On its "about" page which has disappeared from their website (but you can find an archived copy here), the group describes itself as "independent, non-profit and non-partisan" but it is described by Deutsche Welle as being controlled by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. The foundation has offices in Istanbul, Washington D.C. and Cairo, and produces a university newspaper about Turkey: Insight Turkey.
Some of SETA's current and former members are also high-ranking civil servants of the Erdoğan presidential system, columnists for pro-AKP media. İbrahim Kalın, SETA's founding director, is now Erdoğan's main advisor and spokesman since 2014. He was a columnist for Sabah, the main pro-AKP newspaper. Another name that might sound familiar is that of Fahrettin Altun. He was mentioned in one of the recent articles in Kedistan, one that relayed incredible revelations, straight out of the email of Berat Albayrak, Erdoğan's son-in-law and Finance Minister – recently ex in the latter case… Fahrettin Altun is SETA's former general coordinator for Istanbul and deputy general coordinator for SETA, and now chief of presidential communications. He was also a columnist at Sabah. Burhanettin Duran, SETA's general coordinator is also a member of the Presidential Security and Foreign Policy Council and a columnist for Sabah. Muhammet Mücahit Küçükyılmaz, former communication coordinator for SETA is now principal advisor to Recept Tayyip Erdoğan and…columnist for Sabah. Hatice Karahan, who does economic research for SETA is now economic advisor to the Reis and a chronicler for the rag at the regime's service, Yeni Şafak.
In early July 2019, SETA published a 202 page report titled "Extensions of International Media in Turkey" which caused a huge controversy in Turkey and abroad. The report provided individual names and professional backgrounds of Turkish journalists working in the Turkish branches of institutions such as Euronews, BBC, Deutsche Welle, Voice of America, Sputnik, CRI and The Independent… In this report, SETA also provided samples of shares by journalists on their personal accounts on social networks, displaying them and accusing these members of the press of anti-governmental bias. Unions and journalist associations condemned the report.
If you now have a general idea of SETA, let's go back further in time. Because our topic is the "Kurdish Report" from 2015…
What does the "Kurdish Report" say?
This 64 page report observes and advises: "There must be put an end to the resolution process", "an intervention is necessary on the rise in Kurdish national awareness", "the President of the Republics' policies alienate the Kurds", "the policy barons are present at the heart of the AKP"…Everything is there.
The complete report is found as an attachment to an email received in Berat Albayrak's email which was pirated and made available to public opinion on Wikileaks. You can also see the document in Turkish in pdf format HERE.
SETA/FIELD REPORT
ON THE POSSIBLE DYNAMIC OF THE KURDISH VOTE
AT THE NOVEMBER 1st 2015 ELECTIONS
(Diyarbakır, Urfa, Adıyaman, Antep, Mersin, Muş, Bitlis, Van, Bingöl, Ağrı, Erzurum, İstanbul, Ankara, Kocaeli, Bursa, İzmir) September 7-15 2015
■ During the June 2015 elections, the fall in Kurdish votes and those of the young received by the AKP Party reached noticeable levels. (Page 2)
■ It was noticed that, with the rise in Kurdish identity, the AKP's service policy and its speech on unity based on religion have lost their influence in the region. (Page 6)
■ It was observed that local representatives of the AKP give an image of "a Party for the rich, for the elite". (Page 6)
■ The people with whom interviews were conducted, stated the domination of a group defined as "political barons" in the AKP's local structures. According to these statements, the people influential in the towns' organization attempt to control the town's political and economic policies and obtain political advantages from them. (Page 7)
■ The possibility of keeping the Kurds by the side of the AKP or of the government with the "way of doing politics" adopted by the President of the Republic has become difficult, this is expressed unanimously. (Page 8)
■ As the Kurds have a traditional social structure and values, it would be necessary to constitute a delegation within the AKP, directly linked to the President of the Republic and, through its intervention to establish a close contact with the sheikhs, opinion leaders influential on the electors, to build a constant dialogue and conduct consultations. (Page 19)
■ The young people think that only the HDP can offer more, and even more importantly that it can offer the most. Among young Kurds, self-confidence has plateaued. (Page 25)
■ During the resolution period, the HDP and the PKK were masters of the field and developed the urban structures very well. A hierarchical structure was set up from corporative organizations to college or university ones, this allows a message sent from above to reach HDP sympathizers within an hour. (Page 25)
■ Young people gather on social networks around accounts belonging to the HDP, thus obtaining this information very quickly. In the region, there is no counter-organization through social media that can respond to this. (Page 25)
■ Youths that are not HDP sympathizers are lost. They are aware of the fact that there is something in the discourses of HDP members that disturbs them emotionally, but they do not have the tools to give meaning to this or the courage to express it. (Page 26)
■ When one digs deeper, it becomes obvious that the resolution process is the true reason for the loss of AKP votes in the region. All the allegations lead to the fact that the terrain is lost. The loss of terrain, in security as well as discourse and politics appears as the source for the loss of votes for the AKP and the success obtained by the HDP. (Page 26)
■ A feeling of freedom, born from the structuring intensified by the HDP and its expertise in mastering the region connects with the notion of a Historical flow, and adds efficiency to the electorate's orientation toward the HDP. (Page 26)
■ The town of Urfa is very well structured. The HDP has spread very well the opinion it will succeed and this new situation is taken into consideration by the other (local) actors. (Page 27)
■ It is necessary to spread the idea that the region will not be better off without the AKP. In order to do this, there is the need to gain the upper hand in the discourse, in policy and in security. The advice is that, if the Kurdish electorate does not question what the HDP is, the AKP cannot obtain decisive conquests. (Page 27)
■ The PKK-HDP have invested a serious force through the city halls they won at the last elections. It is noticeable that even Kurds who are traditionalists from a socio-cultural point of view, and who have a religious identity, lean toward the HDP. (Page 35)
■ In observing this shift of vote from the AKP toward the HDP, in comparing the proportions and the valid bulletins, one sees clearly that it does not involve a one-time shift but rather a regular and stable one. (Page 53)
■ As for the actors on which the AKP attempts to rise in the region, they are as a majority actors holding economic shares in the State, who have business relations or who are identified through the State and who, consequently, need the State's support. Moreover, there is need to question whether these actors have links or not with their society and a culture that renders them suitable for political work aimed at society at large. (Page 54)
■ For the Kurds, Kobanê has almost become a foundation myth with a very high symbolic value. One must not forget that even before the beginning of the clashes, bodies of young Kurds were constantly arriving from Kobanê, and this situation is seen as an element in the anti-Kurdish policy of Turkey. (Page 53)
■ Kobanê which provided a trigger for the Kurds' historical memory has served a quickening of national awareness, and the Kurds find themselves in a process constitutive of a nation. They compare themselves to other nations. Moreoever, in the West, there are expressions of "national' reactions toward attacks targetting the Kurds. (Page 54)
■ Rather than responding to each allegation made by the HDP and the organization (understood to mean the PKK) used for propaganda purposes, it would be better to counter-attack, in other words, to go from the defensive position to the attack. 'Page 55)
■ In the region, local dynamics influence the voting rates. Hits (counter-attacks) can be carried out in particular in towns where the organization (PKK) has no direct influence. However, the essential question is to intervene on the process of national awareness, which is still in a developmental phase. (Page 55)
To end the summary, the final words in the report:
■ At this point, the fact of entering a violent environment with the resumption of clashes will have an influence on the electoral behavior. The middle class and particularly the shop owners are disturbed by the situation. A good strategy based on peace and brotherhood, a temperate discourse toward the Kurds could move the votes toward the AKP of a section of the voters who do not want confrontations, who have economic concerns. These are also the results obtained in the interview; the fact of establishing a balance between the violence and the operations, and scenes such as those witnessed in Cizre, have a negative influence on the shifting of votes.
Such then was the state of the reflection of the regime's occult political advisor in 2015…
In 2015, the decision to interrupt the "resolution process" which was presented as done for "security reasons" and as a response to "attacks" was indeed already in the works. The will to hold on to power, combined with Erdoğan's already expansionistic projects, carried the day over the Kurdish question. Exit the attempt at conciliating part of the Kurdish population (on Gülen's advice). For two reasons: Kobanê and the HDP.
The counter attack against the Kurdish movement is already signaled in this report. It then began at the military level, the report allows to follow the political tracks, without knowing that the "attempted coup d'état" repressed in blood in July 2016 will allow to move on to a policy of open repression against the elected members and the Party, behavior rendered "acceptable" in the mix-up. We must remind the reader of the approving role then played by the CHP, main opposition party; this was fundamental. The anti-Kurd nationalism had come full circle.
So, yes, the "news" these last few days is of the nth wave of counter-attack against the HDP. A wave that will have no more influence on the European Union than those of the drowning migrants.
And since there was need to talk about it, we might as well provide a bit of context, beyond the necessary indignation and solidarity.

August's installment of 7 Questions With…AAAL Members features Eva Revitt, Subject Librarian at MacEwan University.
To speak Italian. I love the language, the culture, the art, the food, the history. In short, everything about Italy.
I'm very fortunate in that I actually get to do this. I'm currently on a one year sabbatical leave.
One thing that has always irked me is how the library and the librarian are conflated in a way that a doctor and a hospital never is. The library is given agency and assumes the intellectual labour of the librarian. Our own professional discourse reinforces this; for example, overwhelmingly our associations are associations of libraries, rather than librarians. My research is about highlighting the work and professional experiences of the academic librarian. I'm focused on academic librarians because that is the world I know. Specifically, I'm interested in exploring how librarians' academic status is shaped by the institution? In this case, the institution is the college or university but also the associated legislative and policy framework. Labour issues and documents such as collective agreements are big focus of my work.
Figure out your values and stick to them.
5. What is your proudest non-work related accomplishment?
A life time ago, on a tropical island far away, I became seriously involved in scuba diving. At one point in my life, I was one of a handful of certified female scuba divers in North America with a trimix mixed gas and underwater full cave certifications.
My boys. I have two, both are avid soccer players. One is very good and plays for a top team. The other is super average and plays for a super average team. My very good soccer player gives it 150%. Never gives up. My super average soccer player gives it 150%. Never gives up. They are my endless source of inspiration.

Q: python pandas - merge multiple column with complementary row The dataframe example:
    col1, col2, col3
1     v1
2     v2
3           v3
4           v4
5                 v5
6                 v6

I want to merge col1, col2, col3 to the new column like the following:
    col_new
1      v1
2      v2
3      v3
4      v4
5      v5
6      v6

If the dataframe is the following format:
    col1, col2, col3
1     v1          v7
2     v2
3           v3
4           v4
5                 v5
6                 v6

Then, I will not merge these three columns. According to the three columns are not completely complementary. (row - index 1)

Currently, my method transforms three column to list and combine by zip(col1,col2,col3). Then, check each iteration in the list - [x[iteration] for x in list(zip(col1,...))]
Whether "Not Null" item is only one (=1) or not in each iteration? But it seems like an inefficient way.
Is there any efficient way to achieve my requirement?

A: You can use :
df = df.fillna('').sum(axis=1)

# 0    v1
# 1    v2
# 2    v3
# 3    v4
# 4    v5
# 5    v6

Saul Bass: A Life in Film & Design
The cover of Saul Bass: A Life in Film & Design, published by Laurence King
There is no single word to sum up the work of graphic designer Saul Bass, who so succinctly defined entire movies with just one image. Luckily, there are now 440 pages to do the talking in Laurence King's long-awaited book, Saul Bass: A Life in Film & Design.
Of course, this new tome has its fair share of images too, more than a thousand of them, in fact: old photographs, product labels and movie posters in that unmistakably jerky style. Equally resonant are the stills of Bass's now mythical film title sequences. Remember the fruit machines at the start of Ocean's Eleven, illustrated with hundreds of dots like Vegas neon? Ever see Anatomy of a Murder, with that staccato Duke Ellington score synched to graphic body fragments on the pavement? Classic Saul Bass. As is, perhaps, his most famous work, from Vertigo (a sequence unambiguously referenced in 2007, when the TV series Mad Men debuted its titles, featuring another faceless, falling man).
You see tributes to the graphic designer everywhere. Yet this book is the definitive homage, discerningly and lovingly edited by his daughter Jennifer Bass, now a designer herself, with a foreword by Martin Scorsese, who collaborated with him on Goodfellas, Cape Fear and other films. Just thinking of those titles makes you want to hide beneath the covers. Such was the power of Bass's visuals. Perhaps you could call him the Man with the Golden Arm, after the Otto Preminger film whose titles he designed. After all, nearly everything he touched turned to cinema gold.

So what does this drastic growth in Asia mean for Australia? Australia's attitudes to Asia and it's rise have changed drastically.
What this means – Australia's traditional source of heartache (distance from the world) – is now it's biggest advantage. Beneath the economic churn (stock markets, demand and downturn of the requirement for Australian resources etc) there is a longer term growth which we need to be in a position to engage in.
Currently there is a summit in Sydney to discuss reform and the way forward to prepare us for this. The US is our ally – while China is our biggest exporter for Australia's goods. Never before has Australia's history depended on neither an ally nor a democracy.
HR is in the bsuiness of interconnections between people. For our industry Asia's rise is the opportunity of a lifetime. Technological change will be the constant disrupter.
Technological change is rapid (Julia (because we're on a first name basis) great stories about the first time she used a fax machine here) – "how smart can these walking talking machines be?". Julia introduces us to "Watson" who was created to play Jeopardy – he beat the best 2 human players ever.
Whaaat? Watson the computer has now enrolled in medical school.
The rate of change is exponential – we're running up a very steep curve.
So what will the future of work look like?
More and more is being done by machines (factory work, reading resumes, accounting work)… we've got to adapt HR people!
Machines will never be innovators. Never be ideas creators.
People-people that will succeed will be the ones that can adapt and change. Be crystal clear about what you want to do, who you want to be, what you want to change.
Technology means it's harder to manage the important over the urgent. Give yourself the time.
Maximise the talent around you free from stereotypes. Success and likability are positively correlated for a man and not a woman.

Colfax pulls away in second half for big win over Glenwood City
GLENWOOD CITY — Despite being called for 14 penalties in the game, the Colfax football team used seven interceptions and seven touchdowns from six different players to topple the Glenwood City Hilltoppers 47-24 in the game played Sept. 19 and 20 in Glenwood City.
Yes, that's correct. After lightning lit up the skies for the second game night in three weeks, the game was called just before the second half ended Friday night and resumed Saturday morning.
The Vikings couldn't have had any better of a start when Aliymu Davis took the opening kickoff down the middle of the field before cutting left and streaking down the sideline for an 87 yard return and six points with just 14 seconds taken off the clock. Jarrod Rudi booted the extra point and Colfax had a 7-0 lead before many of the fans had found their seats.
On the Toppers first possession, Jarrod Rudi picked off a Nick Schone pass for his first of three interceptions in the game and returned it 18 yards to the 50 yard line.
After their first penalty of the game moved the ball back five yards, Jeremiah Wait broke free and zipped down the right sideline for a 55 yard score and Rudi's kick made it 14-0.
After a quarterback sack by Ben Kragness, a tackle on the Topper receiver on a five-yard pass by Davis and a third down stuff on the running back by Zach Meyer, Colfax forced a punt.
Wait and Rudi moved the ball downfield with the running game and after a holding penalty on the Vikings, Rudi hit Sawyer DeMoe for 20 yards on a fourth and seven close to the goal line. An offside call put the ball back to the five, then Rudi faked a handoff and kept the ball for the third touchdown of the quarter. His kick made it 21-0 with 4:07 left in the first quarter.
The Toppers came out passing and Schone completed two for first downs before Davis stepped in front of one for another Colfax pick. But after picking up one first down, they were forced to punt the ball back to end the quarter.
Colfax fans were hoping the rout was on but the Toppers had other plans as Schone found Todd Petersen on a second down pass for a 53-yard score. A two point pass made it 21-8.
After three running plays by Wait netted only six yards, Colfax punted again.
Schone took to the air again and completed five passes in a 12-play drive that was helped along by a holding penalty on Colfax. The drive culminated in a 13 yard touchdown on a screen pass from Schone to Mrdutt and another two point conversion was good, cutting the Colfax lead to 21-16 with 5:48 left in the half.
It appeared the momentum had shifted the Hilltoppers way after the Vikings recovered an onside kick attempt but fumbled the ball after a receiver made a catch for a long gain and Glenwood City recovered it. But three straight passes by Schone fell incomplete with the third one almost picked off by Davis, resulting in a punt.
Starting at their own 26, the Vikings moved quickly, and with a 22-yard run and a five-yard run by Wait, Rudi hit DeMoe for a long pass to the six. Andrew Adix took it in from there and Rudi's kick made it 28-16.
After the ensuing kickoff, Kragness fulfilled every lineman's dream when he batted a first-down pass by Schone in the air, snared it and ran 27 yards for the touchdown. But before the kick could be made, the lightning came and halted the game with 2:04 left in the half. After a two hour delay, it was decided to resume play at 11:00 on Saturday.
"We started off pretty good before our defense revealed some holes," Colfax coach Mark Maloney said. "But our defensive coordinator (Matt DeMoe) made some adjustments that really paid off before the half ended."
Now playing under blue skies and temperatures in the mid 60s, Rudi booted the extra point for a 35-16 lead. The teams traded punts and the half ended with Rudi snagging another interception and returning it 43 yard before he was tackled.
There was no intermission since the teams had a long enough break and Glenwood took the kickoff to the 50.
After two incomplete passes, Schone was tackled for a loss after a bobbled snap, but another Colfax penalty, this time a personal foul for hitting Schone after the play was dead, resulted in a Topper first down. Glenwood City took advantage of it and with Mrdutt running and Schone completing passes, Mrdutt finally punched it in from a yard out. Mrdutt added a two point run and Colfax led 35-24.
But with 6:39 left in the third, Jon Hayton stepped in front of another Schone pass at the Toppers 29 yard line. After a 24 yard Rudi to DeMoe pass completion on a tipped ball, Wait followed perfect blocking and ran right up the gut for a five-yard score. Rudi missed his first kick of the game but Colfax seemed to be in control up 41-24.
Glenwood tried to go airborne again but after another Colfax penalty for pass interference gave them a first down, Rudi jumped the pass route and pulled down his third pick of the game. DeMoe kept his concentration and snared another tipped pass by Rudi for a 46-yard gain, Wait and Davis gained yards on the ground, and moving into the fourth quarter, Rudi had all the time in the world to find DeMoe open in the end zone for the Vikings' final score of the afternoon.
After another penalty on Colfax, Rudi's kick was blocked but the Vikings were up 47-24 with 11:54 left.
The Vikings' defensive backs got a workout the rest of the way as Wait, Davis, Adix and Jacob Klukas, who was filling in for an injured Jacob Steinke, all broke up passes from Schone.
After taking over on downs, Colfax ran time off the clock and had to punt the ball back.
But on a fourth down, Wait had his turn for an interception and the Vikings ran some more time off the clock with Wait doing most of the work. And finally, after Logan Mittelstadt recovered a Topper fumble, the Vikings ran out the clock to end the game.
"We knew Glenwood was going to pass and they have a good quarterback and great receivers," Maloney said. "And they took advantage of our mistakes but our defense came through when we needed them to. We were patient on offense and had a good mix of running and passing plays. We responded very well whenever Glenwood made a run at us and that's what these guys have learned to do. Move on to the next play and keep focused," he added.
Wait ground out 189 yards on 28 carries, Rudi completed seven of 11 passes for 184 yards with DeMoe leading the receivers with 176 yards on six catches. Hayton led the Vikings with six tackles and Davis, along with his kickoff return, collected five tackles.
Nick Schone completed 21 of 51 passes for 281 yards for the Toppers.
Colfax is now 3-1 for the year and 2-1 in conference play. They will host Elk Mound this Friday night for the annual homecoming game.

Norwich City chief explains summer of change at Carrow Road
Published: 10:39 AM August 5, 2010 Updated: 10:57 PM October 10, 2020
City chief David McNally has issued a open letter to fans - thanking them for their support and pledging complete financial commitment to manager Paul Lambert.
McNally has overseen big changes behind the scenes since he was appointed chief executive last summer when he was faced with a debt that had risen to �23m.
The intention was to restore lost pride after the drop into League One. Phase one of that was achieved in May when City were crowned champions, with phase two beginning tomorrow, when City kick off their Championship campaign.
The changes have continued over the summer, with McNally thanking fans for their continued support, which has seen record season ticket sale sof 20,500 which he says is, "the envy of many Premier League clubs and speaks volumes for the commitment of supporters".
"Thank you once again for your fantastic support and we look forward to seeing you on matchdays, at Carrow Road and at 23 other grounds around the country," says McNally. "In return, you have my word that we will all be working extremely hard at both Colney and Carrow Road, and we will do all we can to bring some success to this great football club."
In his letter, published on the club's official web site, McNally outlined the changes at Carow Road.
"With the new season now days away, I wanted to take the opportunity to mention a few of the changes we have made during the close season," he wrote.
"As a club, our over-riding priority has been to give Paul and his team all of the support they need as we return to the Championship. Most importantly, it was essential to give Paul a competitive budget and the opportunity to develop his squad with his new additions arriving, in the main, prior to the start of pre-season training.
"Of course, the squad development needs to be compatible with our commercial budget and a key part of that has been the installation of over 1,000 new seats in home areas. The vast majority of these seats are already in place and have been installed at the front of three of the stands. Our aim is to help enhance the fantastic atmosphere you create at Carrow Road by moving our supporters ever closer to the pitch, whilst satisfying the increased demand of Canary fans.
"You will notice that the Carrow Road shop has also been improved recently and is now better placed than ever to look after you. The new home kit currently takes centre stage and there are exciting new products arriving.
"Within the catering kiosks, you will notice the introduction of new brands, products and sizes to compliment our food and drink offer. With larger products comes new prices but with greater value. We have had to raise prices on some existing lines too in order to create round pricing, which helps reduce queuing times, and in order to improve our margins. Any monies we make in catering, as indeed in any of our commercial outlets or enterprises, is reinvested back in the Club to support the first team squad, and so we hope you appreciate the need to make some changes."

that's a fine state of affairs!
that's crazy!
that's madness!
that's six of one and half a dozen of another
that's neither here nor there

That's no piece of cake.
That's not an issue.

this is perfectly above board
that's childs play
that was a long time ago
that's my business
that's what you'll recognize me by
That beats me.
that's music to one's ears
this is nothing to speak of
That's not worth mentioning.
That's hardly fair.
that's nothing to make a song
That's not good enough.
That's not funny!

When we come together and sit in circle, magic happens. When our intention is to connect to our creative essence, potent magic happens.
We honour ourselves through the self-care that is deep listening and holistic expression. In the centring, we rest in the awareness of our wholeness, our fullness. We see each other and we are seen. We feel the human warmth of simply being, connecting – to ourselves and each other.
Every circle is different although there are key elements which are the anchor points for our practice. At every circle we come together, move, meditate, share and create.
Each session centres around a different theme which we explore and express through nurturing practices. Often we move to music, in organic dance or we may practice yoga or another body-oriented practice. When we open at the level of the body, we release tension, our nervous system is soothed and we can better hear what is moving within us, that which wishes to be seen, to be acknowledged. An inner opening occurs.
From this space we dive deeper, be it through meditation or the focussed flow of an engaging creative practice. We might work with crayons or yarn, paint or land or something else entirely. The world is our playground. We may create alone or together. Either way, in our coming together to create, we are connected. We hold sacred space for each other.
During the evening we meditate together. This can take many forms. We might sit in silence or share an open-eyed or moving meditation. Meditation brings us to rest in the awareness of our innate fullness and freedom. The peace that we are.
Each session closes with conscious connection: we share a cuppa together and some healthy cake and treats. We rest together as we rest in ourselves. We are seen and we see.
These circles are a powerful and freeing way to gather together to rest and connect. No creative or movement experience is necessary and all are welcome. For future Conscious Creativity Circle dates and to book your place, please visit the events page.

Why not an Arduino in each project ?
In my opinion, Arduino are really cool, but they are a prototyping component, just like the breadboard. When the prototyping stage is over, things have to move on a more permanent and specialized board, and that frees the Arduino for the next prototype.
– it is a nice way to learn about electronics.
This article covers in details ATmega328P-PU (on his own oscillator to save components) and Arduino Pro Mini 3.3v 8MHz programming, but one can reproduce the method with every Atmel SPI chip or Arduino board without a USB.
– a special arduino sketch to make the Arduino act like a programmer.
The bootloader is a kind of BIOS for microcontroller. It handles the low-level settings of the chip. Each chip has his own bootloader version, so an ATmega328-PU bootloader is not compatible with an ATmega328P-PU one (notice the added « P » for Pico-Power. So, when you want to program a chip, first make sure you downloaded its bootloader if needed, and set it up the way you want it.
This time, the bootloaders we are using are already part of the Arduino IDE. We just have to add a new board to the list, for the ATmega328 3.3v 8MHz. Other chips could require a few extra steps, we'll cover this part in a future article.
The Arduino sketch Our Arduino Uno needs a special sketch to be able to act as a programmer. Unfortunatly, the ArduinoISP sketch provided with the Arduino IDE doesn't seem to work, so there is a another, better one available : mega-isp Download this sketch, unzip it in you sketchbook directory and restart your IDE. Now, you could upload this sketch into your Arduino the normal way.
You are now ready with the software part.
You should choose the right voltage for your chip, (3-5V for ATmega328P-PU or 3-12V for the Arduino Pro Mini 3.3v). The ground has to be common.
In the ArduinoISP code, one can notice some extra components could be added for debuging purposes, but they are not needed.
Your hardware setup is ready, go to the last part.
Now your software and you hardware are ready, plug the programmer Arduino in the computer and start the IDE. You should see your Arduino appear in the COM ports like normal. If it is not the case, unplug it, exit every IDE windows, plug it back, and restart the IDE.
In the programmer menu, you should now choose Arduino as ISP.
Now, you can upload your sketch in you chip the normal way, using the 'Upload with a programmer' option in the File menu. If you try to use the regular 'Upload' button, you would obtain a 'not in sync: resp=0x00' error message.

Remembering the Madness on the Day Michael Jackson Died
Though there were questions about his health, no one was prepared to pronounce the "King of Pop" dead at 50
By Natalie Finn Jun 25, 2020 4:30 PMTags
Michael JacksonFarrah FawcettFeatures
On June 25, 2009, Farrah Fawcett died.
The star of Charlie's Angels and one of the most iconic posters of all time was 62. The previous month the docu-special Farrah's Story had given an up-close look at her life, courtesy of home movies shot by her dear friend Alana Stewart, as Fawcett was treated for anal cancer, which she was first diagnosed with in 2006.
Her story was full of highs and lows, triumphs and tragedies, and her family, friends and the Hollywood community in general were devastated to lose her.
And then, a few hours later, also on June 25, 2009, Michael Jackson died.
Michael Jackson's Star-Studded Memorial
Suddenly, there was only one story unfolding in Southern California, on cable news, the Internet and beyond.
"It was such an odd coincidence that she and Michael Jackson should die just within hours of each other," Stewart later told CNN. "It's just amazing that something like that could happen."
But she liked to think that Fawcett would have found that twist of fate amusing. "I always had the sense that Farrah would kind of be getting a laugh out of that and saying 'Thank God, they're over there, finally,'" Stewart said. "'They're leaving me alone. The paparazzi, the reporters, the news cameras.'"
Leigh Vogel/FilmMagic
As fate would have it, it was Farrah's memory that people were far more openly interested in paying tribute to when last year's 10th anniversary came and went, Jackson's legacy—golden forever to some, already in tatters for others—having taken a hit with the release of the HBO documentary Leaving Neverland. The two-part film, detailing two men's allegations that Jackson molested them when they were children, had people wondering en masse (led by music critics, some of whom admittedly idolized Jackson growing up) whether they could even listen to his work anymore.
After absorbing countless opinions on the subject from those who believed the men's stories, most life-long fans concluded that yes, they could still listen... but maybe not yet. And it wouldn't be the same. (Jackson's family and estate have fervently denied any and all claims that he molested children.)
But nothing about what has unfolded over the last decade, or over the past year, changes what a surreal day it was when Michael Joseph Jackson, one of the biggest-selling pop artists of all time, suddenly died.
Paul Archuleta/FilmMagic
In his final weeks, Jackson had been rehearsing for a 50-date comeback engagement called, forever eerily, "This Is It," to take place at London's O2 Arena. The concerts, what amounted to his first tour since 1997, were already sold out.
There had been questions about his health, and sightings—including ones in 2008 of Jackson in a wheelchair and wearing a surgical mask—told of a thin, frail-looking man.
And though many of those who witnessed the 50-year-old in action said he had been bringing his usual inimitable magic to the stage, a perfectionist as always and involved in every aspect of the production, there had been some disturbing moments during his final days as well.
"I saw a Michael that frightened me," This Is It director Kenny Ortega later testified when the $1.5 billion negligence lawsuit filed by Jackson's family against concert promoter AEG Live went to trial in 2013. The artist was, in his opinion, under the influence of a substance on at least four occasions, a state that was "fairly obvious" to others on the set, Ortega said. In an email he wrote to promoters that he read aloud in court, Ortega said of Jackson, "He was like a lost boy. There still may be a chance he can rise to the occasion if we get him the help he needs."
But, according to AEG CEO Randy Phillips, a four-hour physical Jackson underwent earlier that spring with an independent doctor had turned up "no issues whatsoever."
When Jackson first died, Ortega told the LA Times, "He was so in love with this project. When I looked into his eyes, they looked great...Michael was sincerely happy."
AEG would counter in its defense that Jackson's personal physician, Dr. Conrad Murray, who was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in 2011, was pulling the strings behind the scenes. A jury later found AEG not liable in Jackson's death.
Watch: Michael Jackson's Family Says He Was "Too Pure For This World"
At the very least, Jackson was exhausted. In fact, he was being anesthetized in order to go to sleep at the home he was renting for $100,000 a month in the extra-posh Beverly Hills neighborhood of Holmby Hills.
Murray, a Houston-based cardiologist he had recently hired, was administering propofol, a surgical-grade drug, to him at night. Jackson called it his "milk."

"I want it to hit my vein and I want to be asleep," Jackson told one of his nurses, according to J. Randy Taraborrelli's Michael Jackson: The Magic, the Madness, the Whole Story. "I don't even want to wait a minute for it to get into my system. I want to be knocked out, asleep."
A member of Jackson's household staff told Unmasked: The Final Years of Michael Jackson author Ian Halperin, "He wasn't eating, he wasn't sleeping and when he did sleep, he had nightmares that he was going to be murdered. He was deeply worried that he was going to disappoint his fans...He said he was worried that he was going to end up like Elvis."
Elvis Presley—whose only daughter, Lisa Marie Presley, Jackson was briefly married to in the 1990s—died in 1977 at the age of 42. Though no one officially said "prescription drug overdose" at the time, he had been abusing pills and was suffering from myriad health problems, including diabetes.
Shocking Pop Star Deaths
Jackson showed up for rehearsal on the night of June 24.
The next morning, a Thursday, Murray left Jackson's bedroom, where he was under the influence of propofol, to make some phone calls. When he returned, Jackson wasn't breathing.
Paramedics were called to the house shortly before 12:30 p.m.

Jackson was in cardiac arrest and Murray was administering CPR when the ambulance arrived, a reported three minutes and 17 seconds after the call. Paramedics worked on the Thriller artist for 42 minutes at the house before transporting him to UCLA Medical Center, 2 miles away. He was pronounced dead at 2:26 p.m.
Brother Jermaine Jackson confirmed the news to the media that had amassed outside the hospital.
And just like that, for a little while anyway, there was nothing weird about Jackson, nothing controversial, no questions lingering. It was just one of the saddest, most game-changing days ever for pop culture, as well as for the 24/7 online media that cover it.

"People fell to their knees," Ortega told the Los Angeles Times about the moment he told the dancers who were rehearsing when he got the call that Jackson had died.
Vigils sprang up practically instantaneously all over the world, including outside Jackson's childhood home in Gary, Ind., and in New York at the Apollo Theater, where the Jackson 5 performed when its precocious frontman was 9 years old. It was reported that Google's inner workings interpreted all the simultaneous searches for "Michael Jackson" as a possible cyber attack.
Sign-wielding fans gathered outside the hospital started singing, and a nearby UCLA fraternity house blasted Jackson music.
"I came because no one around me felt my pain," Zai Bryant, who came from Inglewood about 12 miles away to join the crowd at UCLA, told the Times. "I said, 'You know what—those people at UCLA, they feel my pain. I need to be among fans who know what I'm going through."

Flowers and candles covered the sidewalk around his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and fans left notes and gifts outside the gates of the Hayvenhurst House, the Jackson family compound in Encino, Calif.
Meanwhile, the TV news was wall-to-wall Jackson, with even the helicopter transport of his body to the coroner's office televised.
Paul Warner/WireImage
"I am absolutely devastated at this tragic and unexpected news," Quincy Jones, who produced Off the Wall, Thriller and Bad said in a statement later that day. "For Michael to be taken away from us so suddenly at such a young age, I just don't have the words. Divinity brought our souls together on The Wiz and allowed us to do what we were able to throughout the 80's. To this day, the music we created together on Off The Wall, Thriller and Bad is played in every corner of the world and the reason for that is because he had it all…talent, grace, professionalism and dedication.
"He was the consummate entertainer and his contributions and legacy will be felt upon the world forever. I've lost my little brother today, and part of my soul has gone with him."
Martin Scorsese, who directed the video for Bad, called Jackson "extraordinary" and said, "He was wonderful to work with, an absolute professional at all times, and—it really goes without saying—a true artist. It will be a while before I can get used to the idea that he's no longer with us."
PAUL J. RICHARDS/AFP/Getty Images
Will.i.am, who had collaborated on the digitally remastered Thriller: 25 that was released in 2008, said, "I am so grateful to have worked with the King. He was a gift to the world, he is a bright light and I wouldn't be surprised if the world stopped spinning tomorrow."
Such was the shock and disbelief echoed by thousands of people, family, friends and fans alike. It didn't seem real. How could someone so larger than life just be...gone?
As former Sony Music president Tommy Mottola said, "His music bridged races and ages and absolutely defined the video age. Nothing that came before him or that has come after him will ever be as big as he was."
Jackson had been diminished on paper by years of rumor, innuendo and crude jokes, but you would have never guessed by the singular adoration that poured forth that night, and for months—and years—to come.
What Normal Life Looks Like for Prince and Paris Jackson
And before 24 hours had passed, Jackson's family was demanding that Murray be investigated and authorities leave no stone unturned in probing what happened to the fallen idol.
The aftermath of that, including an autopsy that revealed numerous puncture marks on Jackson's body and ephedrine and Lidocaine in his system in addition to propofol in what was otherwise a generally healthy system for a man his age, weight and height, was tragic enough. But almost everything about his death and its aftermath had a tinge of the bizarre to it.

In his will, Jackson had entrusted his beloved mother, Katherine Jackson, with the care of his three children, Prince, Paris and Blanket (who is now 17 and going by Bigi these days), and if for some reason she was unable to do so, then he wanted Diana Ross to step in.
A star-studded, musical memorial service attended by thousands at L.A.'s Staples Center that July had people wondering where these luminaries all were when Jackson as alive. But the event is almost entirely remembered for 11-year-old Paris Jackson's first-ever public words about her father.
"Ever since I was born, Daddy has been the best father you could ever imagine," the child said, crying. "And I just wanted to say I love him so much."
Macaulay Culkin Recalls the Last Time He Saw Michael Jackson Alive
Jackson's immediate family was an hour late to his funeral at Glendale Forest Lawn Memorial Park, leaving the punctual mourners, including screen legend Elizabeth Taylor, Quincy Jones, Lisa Marie Presley, Macaulay Culkin and his then girlfriend Mila Kunis, waiting outside in the L.A. heat for the 31-car motorcade to show up. More than 460 media credentials were handed out to cover the arrivals.
After a 90-minute, by-invitation-only service that took place more than two months after his death, Jackson was laid to rest inside the Great Mausoleum.

That final rehearsal footage—which showed a performer who could still command a room and, if not at the peak of his talents certainly could still hold his own—was swiftly turned into a concert documentary, Michael Jackson's This Is It, that grossed more than $260 million worldwide. Cirque du Soleil's Michael Jackson ONE was pressing on in Vegas and a Broadway musical utilizing his greatest hits was in the works before the COVID-19 pandemic put everything on hold.
Though his finances were a notorious mess in life, Jackson has been the top-earning dead celebrity for years, according to Forbes, grossing $400 million in 2018 to top a distant second Elvis Presley's $40 million. The singularly massive number was due to his estate selling his share of EMI Music Publishing back to Sony for $288 million, but Jackson remained the posthumous king last year, too, bringing in $60 million in 2019.
But memories of the myriad troubles he faced while he was alive abound. Though his old hits from the 1980s and early '90s remained huge draws, just as Jackson found that his later releases weren't similarly beloved, albums featuring "new" music cobbled together from unreleased recordings, such as 2010's Michael, weren't the most exciting additions to the canon.
In 2015, Neverland Ranch, the Santa Barbara-area idyll where Jackson hosted kids at his personal zoo and amusement park and perhaps the biggest reminder of his troubling excesses, was put on the market for $100 million and rebranded Sycamore Valley Ranch. In May 2019, it was re-priced to sell at $31 million after several other adjustments along the way.
It's "a tough sell," Landmark Research Group CEO Randall Bell, an appraiser who specializes in infamous properties, told Los Angeles magazine. "Michael Jackson brings a range of emotions. He's associated with some very ugly crimes."
Moreover, Bell added, "the whole place is designed around Michael Jackson's tastes, which were somewhat unconventional. It's going to take a special kind of buyer."
In February, an agent at Compass, which had previously handled the listing, told Business Insider that the estate formerly known as Neverland Ranch was off the market.
But real estate experts have remained confident that a deal will get done one day, also noting that it wasn't unusual for the area to have a property that expensive sit on the market for a few years.
"It was priced where it was in the beginning to capture a celebrity trophy buyer, someone that was willing to pay the extra money because it was Michael Jackson's," Mansions and Millionaires host Michael Corbett told Yahoo! Entertainment in December. "Unfortunately now, since there's been a lot of negative press, someone is probably not going to purchase it for that reason... Now someone's going to buy it because it's an amazing piece of real estate."

Germany: Berliners Love to Drive Exotic Cars
BerlinFeaturesGermany
By Imanuel Marcus On May 29, 2020
Photo: Imanuel Marcus
This week, the Senate listed all cars registered in Berlin by brand. While most Berliners drive conventional vehicles made in Germany, the number of exotic ones is quite high. Holy cow!
Driving to 'Aldi' in order to get two tomatoes and a bottle of sparkling water is always a good idea. But it gets a lot more exiting when the car used for that vital errand is an Aston Martin. As many as 191 of them are registered in Berlin right now. Those British-made sports vehicles have the right power reserves, sound and comfort.
Four Bugattis
Showing off a 2010 Hyundai Accent with a broken wheel bearing and countless cosmetic issues at a red traffic light is great. But we have to admit that the owners of the 353 Bentleys registered in the German capital put on a much better show. Let's not even mention the four Bugattis in this city. Are the Veyrons?
The list the Berlin Senate provided is an answer to an official inquiry handed in by Marcel Luthe, a member of the Berlin House of Representatives and the liberal party FDP. It only contains manufacturers. Models are not specified.
One Single Checker
One thing is certain: The list of registered cars in the capital does prove that Berliners do have some taste after all. This applies to the owners of the 44 Cadillacs registered in this city. Let's hope there are Sevilles, DeVilles, Eldorados and other classic ones among those. As many as 32 Buicks are registered in Berlin and one Checker. The latter vehicles were used as cabs in the United States of America in the 1970s and 80s.
So, you want to impress your date? Show how witty, funny and considerate you are. But if you intend to be in the center of the attention on the streets of Berlin, let's hope you are not driving a Dacia, but rather a Jaguar E-Type (see main photo). There are 1,573 Jags in Berlin. Most likely, only a few of them are E-Types.
As Flat as a Stamp
Those 388 Maseratis in Berlin, or the 103 Lamborghinis, are impressive, depending on the models. There might even be some Miuras and Countachs. But the eight Jensens lucky Berliners drive will cause even more envy. Also they might be easier to identify in case of a problem.
"To the owner of the Jensen Interceptor: You are kindly asked to come to the parking lot. A crane just fell on your vehicle. It is about as flat as a stamp." This is the kind of announcement the 72 Lotus owners in Berlin do not want to hear either.
Two-Cycle Racer
There are cars nobody should damage, e.g. while squeezing their chaep, rusty vehicle into a parking spot on front of them. This applies to the 32 McLarens registered in Berlin. Or the one Melkus. The latter used to be the only sports car brand the communist GDR had. Those vehicles sounded weird and stank like hell because of their two-cycle engines. But they are rarities today.
Berlin accommodates one Monteverdi driver. This used to be a Swiss brand that offered one of the first SUVs ever, namely the Monteverdi Safari, and an elegant convertible called Monteverdi Palm Beach. There are 177 Rolls Royces and three DeTomasos in Berlin too.
High-Tech Engineering
No, you won't perform the most impressive racing start once the light turns green in your 2003 Volvo V70, but you will if you are among the owners of the 905 Teslas in Berlin. Chances are their number will increase substantially once the Tesla 'Gigafactory' in neighboring Brandenburg is ready to rumble next year.
The bad news is that most of the 1.2 million cars in Berlin are rather boring, in comparison. There are 206,284 Volkswagens, 164,807 Mercedes and 87,319 BMWs. Most of those lowered 3-series BMWs with loud exhaust pipes can be seen on Karl Marx Strasse in Berlin's Neukölln district.
Berlin has 61,944 Audis, 89,216 Opels, 65,324 Skodas and 8,393 Porsches. Hey, the most brilliant example for German high-tech engineering is represented in the German capital as well, by a total of 918 Trabants. The only reason they have not fallen apart yet is the fact that they have cardboard bodies.

By the way: The publication you are reading, The Berlin Spectator, was established in January of 2019. We have worked a whole lot, as you can see. But there has hardly been any income.
As of May 7th, 2020, we made an average of 74 Euro per month since starting the project, which is far from enough.

About Film In Dublin

News,Trailers
Creed II Trailer shows the loyalty (and royalty) in Creed's DNA
The first trailer has arrived for Creed II, the sequel the acclaimed Rocky spinoff of 2015 that brought the director-actor team of Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan to mainstream audiences. Creed was one of the first reviews available on Film In Dublin, an "exhilarating" experience that left us hoping for Adonis Creed versus cyborg Ivan Drago, and though that won't be happening we won't be too far off with this sequel. Coogler isn't in the directors chair this time, but Jordan is back for another installment in the odyssey of Adonis, and this November, there's more to lose than a title for the son of Apollo.

Thor: Ragnarok is another Marvel movie
Director: Taika Waititi Starring: Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston, Cate Blanchett, Tessa Thomson, Jeff Goldblum, Mark Ruffalo, Idris Elba, Anthony Hopkins, Karl Urban Running Time: 130 minutes
Thor: Ragnarok is fine. This might seem like a needlessly dismissive hot take on a movie that has been popular with critics and a hit at the Irish box office (the film was responsible for over 46% of the Irish 3-day weekend box office), but given the considerable talent involved in the film, both on screen and in the director's chair, is it spoiled to come out of Marvel's latest blockbuster? Let's not be too much of a curmudgeon about this; Ragnarok is a frequently very funny film, one that meets the expectations of its audience, set firmly from that "he's a friend from work!" trailer, more or less exactly. It is another Marvel movie, and much like pizza, even when they're not amazing they're still pretty good. It is what it is. It just could have been more than that.

War On Everyone Is A Battle Of Attrition
Director: John Michael McDonagh Starring: Michael Peña, Alexander Skarsgård Running Time: 98 minutes
Fuck off. Feel free to resume reading this review after you've finished cracking up, because going by John Michael McDonagh there is nothing funnier than a spot of profanity. A sudden swear has been used to comedic effect plenty of times in films before, not least the previous work of McDonagh and his brother Martin, so it stands to reason that amping up the curse count will make things even funnier, right? That a scene of a Bad Cop and a teen telling each other to fuck off back and forth repeatedly would be completely hilarious and not get tiresome almost immediately? For those who do grow weary with the hilarity of cursing (imagine), don't worry, as McDonagh has packed his latest film with things he finds even funnier than that, namely homophobia, transphobia, racism and the side-splitting existence of the disabled. McDonagh has always been cynical, but his latest film is the George Bush "Mission Accomplished" banner of his own personal war, his War On Everyone.
