The TCM Top Twelve for November
With the mad rush of Halloween I'm behind on putting out my TCM Top Twelve for November. Thankfully, I only had to drop one movie that's already run. The twelve assembled are a mix of iconic films and some that just sound interesting. None of the documentaries playing this month struck my fancy, so we'll keep our eyes peeled next month. November's star of the month is Constance Bennett so I've included a few of her films; one that I'm especially excited to see as it appears to be unavailable elsewhere. I'm already bringing back the Prime-Time Must-See which I seemed to have forgotten last month. If you don't remember, the Prime-Time Must-See is a slate of films running starting at 5pm that I recommend you watch in a row (the caveat was I had to have seen all the movies in the block). A busy November awaits us, so let's dive in.
**Remember that all times are Pacific and that TCM can change the schedule at their discretion.**
I'd never heard of this movie but I'm all for reteaming Laurence Olivier with Merle Oberon. The two were fantastic in Wuthering Heights, and while I don't expect this to be on par I'm excited for it. The plot revolves around a woman (I'm assuming Oberon) who passes herself off as a scandalous divorcee. Hopefully, this will be a better, and more complex film than The Divorcee which I reviewed awhile back. Oberon and Olivier for the win! The Divorce of Lady X airs tonight at 8:30 in a slate of films (including Wuthering Heights) devoted to Oberon.
Anytime I read something about Audrey Hepburn I hear about The Nun's Story. Apparently, this film is astounding. I'm generally not for nuns on film (with the exception being The Sound of Music), only because the stories can be downers. I'm hoping Hepburn's effervescent persona can shine through. I'm almost tempted to save this for closer towards the holidays when I start to run out of Christmas movies. Catch The Nun's Story at 11am on November 4th.
The Roman Spring of Mrs. Stone is a film that always slips by me. I've taped it twice, and every time I've sat down to watch it something distracts. In both cases a crazy overload on my DVR has caused it to be deleted. I'm not sure why this movie just doesn't want me to see it. It stars Vivien Leigh who I rag on for Gone With the Wind, but who I adore in Streetcar Named Desire (which is on right before this film). It also has Warren freaking Beatty who I love. Okay, a big reason I want to see it is apparently Beatty plays an Italian gigolo with an atrocious Italian accent which needs to be seen by me to be believed. Hopefully I can finally settle down and watch this! November 5th has an afternoon of Vivien Leigh films, and The Roman Spring of Mrs. Stone airs at 3:15pm.
On the list of films I haven't seen is a whole line that simply says: Astaire and Rogers musicals. Yep, I've never actually seen one of their legendary musicals, so why not start now? Top Hat is often mentioned as the best of the series, and has the "Cheek to Cheek" number that I have seen. I'm growing to love Ms. Ginger Rogers, but I don't get Fred Astaire. I'm not sure why, but none of his films have been my favorites, and in one case (The Band Wagon) I outright hated it. So there's a 50/50 chance I'll either love or hate this film. Top Hat airs November 8th at 6:45pm.
So you know how I just said I have Astaire/Rogers musicals on my missed films list? Well I also have Luis Bunuel films. I went through a summer of trying to watch the foreign classics such as Fellini, but my library lacked Bunel films at the time. The Exterminating Angel is fascinating, particularly if you've seen Midnight in Paris, as it details a group of people who for some reason can't leave the room. I'm hoping that this has a plot I can follow, and considering Criterion put out a copy of this film means it's got something worth seeing. You can catch The Exterminating Angel on November 11th at 1am.
I have more than enough Jean Arthur films to determine whether I'm a fan of hers, or not….and yet I haven't actually watched any of them. I feel bad adding another film to the list but, if anything, once I finally get to them all I'll be resolved to saying whether Arthur is a favorite or not. By the way, I get Easy Living confused with Design for Living (the titles do sound similar). The film is directed by Jacques Tourneur, who made my favorite Halloween film Cat People, and tells the story of a football star risking his health to please his wife. Not only does it have Arthur, but also Ray Milland and Lucille Ball. Tourneur hasn't made a film I've outright hated, so let's see if the streak continues. Easy Living airs November 12th at 3:30pm.
The star of November is the lovely Constance Bennett, and I mentioned in my Topper review that I wanted to see more of her films. What Price Hollywood is mentioned as one of the best tales about the star machine out there, and I'm always on the lookout for more looks at Hollywood. It's also stated that this film inspired the making of A Star is Born (which I still have on my DVR). Either way it's well-regarded, tells of Hollywood intrigue, and features the lovely Ms. Bennett. You can watch What Price Hollywood at 5pm on November 13th.
It's been awhile, at least to my knowledge, since I had a film noir on here. With that being said, Born to Kill looks like a fantastic noir to watch! It's directed by Robert Wise, whose films I generally adore, and features murder and infidelity. According to the Leonard Maltin review for Born to Kill, it's a rather mean-spirited film for Wise considering his films are generally beloved family classics. That's more than enough to get me interested! Born to Kill airs at 3:15pm on November 14th.
If you're a long-time follower of the blog then you know I sometimes combine my school work with this blog. I'm writing a paper having to do with my Disney series, and I've mentioned in later reviews their connection to my educational career. Oddly enough, the placement of The Woman in White is a voluntary school connection. I'm reading it for class and, while I assumed there were film versions, I hadn't actually seen or heard of them. Based on the poster alone, I can see some changes have seen made to Wilkie Collins's story and I'm interested in seeing how it all pans out. I'm assuming the brunt of the book is in the plot; that of following an art teacher as he embroil himself in a mystery involving a woman in white (although I'm assuming a great deal has been removed). The Woman in White airs November 15th at 5am.
I first took notice of Constance Bennett in the delightful, madcap Topper which I reviewed back in August. In trying to find the other sequels to that film I noticed that its second entry, Topper Takes a Trip, appears to be out of print. Thankfully, Bennett as the star of the month allows this film to finally come out of mothballs. The story follows Bennett's character as she tries to help the staid Topper (Young) while on vacation. Cary Grant doesn't reprise his role as Bennett's husband, so I'm hoping that won't prevent lightning from striking twice. Topper Takes a Trip follows the first Topper on November 20th at 10pm.
Director Nicholas Ray also returns to the TCM Top Twelve with A Woman's Secret. I'm extremely interested in this for a few reasons. One being Ray's name recognition, another being the star Maureen O'Hara, and the last being the story of a protegé turning on her mentor. I'm a huge fan of those types of stories from All About Eve to Showgirls, and I expect Ray to make it gritty and dark. Catch A Woman's Secret at 8:45am on November 28th.
If you followed my 31 Days of Halloween then you know I'd originally intended on watching and reviewing Dracula's Daughter. Unfortunately, it appeared to e difficult to find on short notice and I ended up dropping it. A month later and TCM is showcasing it on a night of programming controlled by the bloggers at Movie Morlocks! Dracula's Daughter is cited as a foremost example of lesbianism in early film, not to mention being another spin-off to continue the Dracula franchise. Dracula's Daughter airs on November 30th at 6:45pm.
The Prime-Time Must-See: The Essentials – Meal Tickets on November 10th
The Essentials on November tenth will be looking at various entries into society, and climaxes taking place around a dinner table. The four films shown, starting at 5pm, are all highly recommended by me and have all been reviewed on this site!
Starts at 5pm
Starts at 11pm

Yay GUESS WHO'S COMING TO DINNER! Just wrote an article about that movie. So good. Also love TOP HAT. It's in the West End here in London, but of course I can't afford to go see it. 😦
Also really excited about TOPPER this month. It's an all-time favorite of mine. It always makes me smile! Good list, Kristen!

Thanks, I actually rented Top Hat just in case I miss it on TCM. Oh don't get me started about all the shows I stage I wish I could afford! Although you're infinitely cooler for having London and the West End at all!
Ticklish Business The TCM Top Twelve for November


What a genial figure Elvis Costello cuts. It takes a palpable effort to recall the grim creature of '77, the one with the stone face and the reptile glare and the tracks of toad-sweat down forehead and cheeks..
Who saw him then and could forget the spastic menace brought to "Watching The Detectives", the astonishing, elaborate melodrama of the way he performed "I'm Not Angry", when the original Stiff tour reached The Lyceum? Those were the days of Costello as Mr Revenge-And-Guilt, operating from the safe shelter of the persona of a worm turned Homicidal.
These days, that persona seems to have been drawn with strokes so broad as to seem almost cartoonish, comical in its exaggeration.
Where he and The Attractions once got their heads down and rushed defiantly through a set seemingly constructed to include as much unfamilar (and unintroduced) material as possible, your 1980 Costello presents a carefully sequenced programme of new and old material (one for one, most of the time), introduces the songs, smiles and even provides a few moments of mirth by appearing in baggy khaki pants and a pink leather jacket.
The principal reason for dwelling on bygone days is the fact that - at the Rainbow Theatre's 50th Anniversary concert - Costello performed more of his early material than he actually did when the stuff was relatively fresh. After transcending his past work by launching a new phase with "Get Happy!!" , Costello re-adapts songs like "Alison", "Less Than Zero" and "You Belong To Me" into the canon of his performing repertoire by interpreting them with a renewed vigour and freshness, without even a hint of the mechanical or the slightest taint of "obligation" - you know, give 'em the old stuff 'cause they like it best.
Be that as it may, Elvis And The Attractions put on a fast, clean show that was entertaining if not inspiring, though somewhat marred by singularly dodgy sound mix during the first third or so. The mood was positive and celebratory, and at least three of the new numbers – the opening 'Shot With His Own Gun' performed with just voice and piano. "Never Be A Man" and "Clubland" bode exceedingly well for the next batch of recordings.
Drummer Pete Thomas was in exceptionally good form, sensing exactly when to drive things along and when to break the flow with a well-placed cymbal shot or a fusillade of snare strokes. The drum sound was, incidentally, clear and prominent throughout even when bass, keyboards and guitar had merged into a blur. Costello himself seemed to be having a good time cueing endings and accents with Frank Zappa-esque hand signals and curt strokes of his guitar neck ; the whimsicality was oddly endearing.
Out of the revived material, "Green Shirt" held a place of honour, recast with a modified melody line and a foreboding drum roll replacing the banked synths of the original "Armed Forces" version.

The process of application is completely individualized and consists of a review of the inquirer's background and proposals for a programme of study. It is possible to apply and start a programme of study at any time of the year. Each application is treated entirely on its own merits. We try to respond quickly to applicants, and to keep them informed of the progress of their application via email.
Usually, having first read this website thoroughly, applicants have formed a clear idea of their aims and the potential route to achieving them. If they are aiming for a programme by research or with a strong element of self-design, they will have some view of what their learning contract may look like, even if this has yet to be worked out in detail. Information on research proposals is given here.
If an enquirer wishes to enquire about a specific aspect of a programme, about the availability of a programme not listed on the website, or about other aspects of studying with the University, they should make contact via the contact form and must also send a copy of their curriculum vitæ or resume.
If you are applying for a programme offered on campus you will apply via the campus concerned. The campus will give you details of the forms to fill out and will process your application. You will not need to contact the University directly as part of this process. However, if you prefer, you can send your initial enquiry to the University, stating your location, and we will forward this to the most appropriate University-affiliated campus for them to contact you.
The applicant should firstly complete and send the contact form, giving a brief summary of their application.
A written proposal detailing the degree to be sought and the route by which this may be achieved.
This is usually followed by a consideration of whether mentoring for the proposal can be provided with the resources available. At this stage, informal discussion may take place with the proposed mentor and the learning contract may take shape.
When these components are in place, the candidate will receive the course place acceptance form. This formalizes the details of their application and states the terms and conditions applicable to the candidate's studies. The candidate will need to sign the form to indicate their acceptance of the offer and associated terms. At the same time, the candidate will submit the first payment of fees. Following receipt of these items, the candidate will be formally matriculated onto their programme of study.
A course place offer is valid for up to three months. After this time, the applicant will need to submit a new application.
Before making application, the prospective applicant should satisfy themselves that the degree or diploma of the Western Orthodox University will be suitable for their present and anticipated future needs. In doing so they should be aware of the content of the status and recognition pages on this website and should also make enquiries, in advance, of any third party from whom they may require acceptance of their credential. The Western Orthodox University makes no claims of acceptance by third parties except where a specific agreement exists to that effect.
By making application, the applicant confirms that they understand that all credentials granted by the Western Orthodox University are granted on the basis of the University's incorporation in the Commonwealth of Dominica.

Howard, Geoffrey Frank (1977). Temporal finite elements in the dynamic analysis of structures. PHD thesis, Aston University.
This thesis demonstrates that the use of finite elements need not be confined to space alone, but that they may also be used in the time domain, It is shown that finite element methods may be used successfully to obtain the response of systems to applied forces, including, for example, the accelerations in a tall structure subjected to an earthquake shock. It is further demonstrated that at least one of these methods may be considered to be a practical alternative to more usual methods of solution. A detailed investigation of the accuracy and stability of finite element solutions is included, and methods of applications to both single- and multi-degree of freedom systems are described. Solutions using two different temporal finite elements are compared with those obtained by conventional methods, and a comparison of computation times for the different methods is given. The application of finite element methods to distributed systems is described, using both separate discretizations in space and time, and a combined space-time discretization. The inclusion of both viscous and hysteretic damping is shown to add little to the difficulty of the solution. Temporal finite elements are also seen to be of considerable interest when applied to non-linear systems, both when the system parameters are time-dependent and also when they are functions of displacement. Solutions are given for many different examples, and the computer programs used for the finite element methods are included in an Appendix.

Jaime Hayon Launches His First Office System, and It Cocoons
By Mairi Beautyman

"If you think about it, today's office has more in common with a residential loft," Jaime Hayon tells me as we face each other sheltered in the petal-like folds of his new seating system for Republic of Fritz Hansen. The Spanish artist and designer's collaborations with the Danish furniture manufacturer span nearly a decade—however it wasn't until last month, at office furniture fair Orgatec in Cologne, Germany, that Hayon introduced his very first collection dedicated to the contract market, the high-backed lounge system Plenum.

Hayon works straddling two countries, with studios in Valencia, Spain, and in Treviso, Italy, and the line between his two passions—art and design—is often blurry. This past September, Fritz Hansen launched Geo #1 and #2, quirky wooden sculptures based on his drawings. Following Orgatec, Hayon jetted off to Prague, where a selection of his furniture, interior objects, and artwork was on view in Designblok, the Prague International Design Festival.

"I started doing sofas for Fritz Hansen 10 years ago, followed by lounge and low chairs – and these were actually all residential," he remembers. "Then, a few years ago, we noticed something: A lot of companies—Google and Apple, for example—were using my products in their offices."
The curvaceous and decidedly feminine upholstered Ro and Fri armchairs in particular could be seen again and again. "These pieces are colorful and quite beautiful from every angle—they are simply more charming than what's out there," says Hayon, who begins his design process with hand-sketches, before moving to small models. "To be honest, I'm not really a traditional industrial designer. It's probably this—not being so industrial—which brings in something refreshing."

In today's competitive workforce, companies have had to come to terms with a hard truth: Seductive interiors are no longer an optional investment when it comes to both attracting and retaining talent—not to mention maintaining office attendance with increasingly nomadic staff.

For Hayon, a collection with the office in mind was the natural next step. Completed in just 1 1/2 years—"an office chair is very complicated, generally it takes two or three years for worldwide distribution," Hayon notes—Plenium consists of one-seater, two-seater, and three-seater units cocooning from three sides. Each piece, with an electrical outlet and USB ports installed under the seat, can stand alone or be mixed together for breakout areas geared towards relaxation, concentrated work, or acoustically sheltered meetings. In the busy Fritz Hansen booth, the hush induced by the three enveloping wings is all the more striking.

Surfaces for a laptop or tablet are also available, either mounted to the base or via a separate small table. Since the pieces are assembled from modular parts, up to seven can be shipped on a pallet. "If you saw how this is sold flatpack, you'd freak out—I don't know how they do it," Hayon notes.

Plenium hits the market just as those that follow it come to the sudden realization: The office-home hybrid is here to stay. As Hayon says, "Isn't that the whole point, that you can have these sort of pieces you imagine bringing home in the office, or just the opposite?"

All types of rose varieties to buy.
You will even find the best roses for hot desert climates, as well as wild rose types.
My online catalogue of garden roses has pictures of all kinds of roses for sale.
For example such as black roses, miniature roses, rugosa roses, even the popular blue moon rose.
However, before you make your purchase, make sure you chose and buy the right roses for your region.
Roses are basically sold in three ways.
They are usually sold as dormant bare-root roses early in the season and also usually arrive that way when they arive via mail-order.
Container roses are sold growing and blooming.
Bare-root roses are also sometimes sold packed partly in a box.
It's actually better to buy roses that are not in bloom.
Because, once planted, they can focus their energy on getting established, which is very important.
Roses must grow below ground, before they can grow above and flower the best.
The mail-order nurseries I am affiliated with, guarantee all purchases.
In fact with thousands of roses sold from my web site, I haven't had any complaint at all, and that is a great record.
I wish I had a source for all roses introduced, but that is not possible, unfortunately.

Affordable Care Act update: What's next for children, hospitals, insurers?
Posted on February 10, 2014 February 10, 2014 by Scott Howe
Posted in Ethics and policy
More On: Affordable Care Act, health care, health insurance
It's been a few months since the Affordable Care Act (ACA) health exchanges opened for business, and there's still a lot of speculation on how the bill will affect children, hospitals and insurers.
One thing that's clear is that ACA is having some success in bringing more people into the system. In his recent State of the Union address, President Obama reported that since the federal and state health insurance exchanges opened for business on Oct. 1, 2013, 3 million citizens have enrolled in private plans and 6.3 million have been deemed eligible for Medicaid. Moreover, some health care experts believe that the Obama Administration may meet its goal of adding 7 million Americans to private insurance rolls by the March 31 enrollment deadline.
Who's signing up for insurance through the exchanges? According to an analysis by PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), individual exchange members have a median age of 33 and a median income of $21,716, or 186 percent of the Federal Poverty Level. Some 91 percent are expected to be in relatively good health.
More insured kids?
Meeting the ACA's goal of 7 million enrollees will depend on adults, because young people make up only a small part of the ACA picture. Ceci Connolly, managing director of the Health Research Institute at PwC, reports that the children under age 18 represent only 6 percent of total "Obamacare" enrollment so far. However, the ACA provision allowing children up to age 26 to stay on their family's plans has added 3 million young people to the insurance rolls, she states.
The relatively low number of newly insured kids isn't surprising. As Josh Greenberg, vice president of Government Relations at Boston Children's Hospital, points out, the majority of kids in America had health insurance through Medicaid, the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) or private plans before ACA began. "The percentage of uninsured kids is about as low as it's ever been," he says.
Opportunities to increase enrollment, he believes, can be found in the small number of kids who are "eligible but not enrolled" or who were once enrolled "but have somehow dropped off." Moving these young people into health plans will depend on a number of factors, he believes, including the quality of outreach by government and insurers, and the degree of "bureaucratic hassle" in signing up.
Plans and networks
One effect of the health exchanges involves the networks offered by insurers. The recent trend for payers to limit which providers and hospitals are offered to customers, as a way of reducing costs, appears to be increasing with the exchanges. There is growing concern that the new limited networks will exclude children's hospitals from insurance plans. For example, last fall Seattle Children's Hospital filed a lawsuit against the Washington Office of the Insurance Commissioner upon learning that most health plans being sold through the state's exchange did not include the hospital as an in-network provider.
Connolly, however, believes that "narrow networks" can often be high-performing, because they may only offer providers and hospitals that emphasize quality and efficiency.
ACA is prompting other changes in the way insurers do business. With an estimated 23 million new customers joining the private insurance system by 2023, Connolly believes that "insurers will be focused on understanding who their new customers are." Some previously uninsured patients might have pre-existing conditions, and "it will be important to get them into a good care plan."
How will hospitals respond?
Changes are also on the way for hospitals and providers. "The good news," Connolly says, "is that ACA adds new patients who are now paying customers." The bad news is that "reimbursement rates may not be as high." That's because care for many new customers will be paid through government-sponsored plans, many of which pay at lower rates than private insurance.
Lower rates may not be a concern for every provider, however. Greenberg says that ACA's new standards for primary care stipulate that rates have to be equivalent to Medicare rates. "For some, that will mean a rate improvement," he states.
Still, ACA is driving many in health care to confront financial pressures. According to Connolly, hospitals and providers are focused more and more on reducing costly readmissions and delivering care more efficiently. Many clinicians are starting to think in terms of being part of a care team and making hard choices on what tasks "can be best handled by other members of the team." To further improve processes, providers are starting to "think smart about technology and telemedicine."
As with all things associated with ACA, time will tell how successful hospitals will be in integrating these cost-cutting efforts and process improvements into their operations.

Dr Crippen and The Raven
We are in the Sixties now but I could not resist this one when I came across the Double Bill advertisement below – I am pretty sure that I saw this programme at the local cinema at the time.
Dr Crippen was a very good film – mainly a love story and I remember hoping that the two lovers would get away even though I knew the outcome.
Dr Crippen with Donald Pleasance as the doctor and Samantha Eggar as Ethel Le Neve
Donald Pleasance – brilliant as Dr Crippen – to me one of the best roles of his career and he had a good and long career at that.
Coral Browne as Crippen's wife and Samantha Eggar as Ethel. Plus one of my favourite actors – a larger than life stage actor featured on this Blog before at some length – Sir Donald Wolfit.
Dr Crippen and Ethel are obviously in love.
James Robertson Justice – not my favourite actor – playing the Captain of The Montrose with Samantha Eggar and Donald Pleasance – both of these actors in a different league to him
Donald Pleasance gives a wonderful performance as the down trodden Dr Crippen alongside the shrew-like performance of Coral Browne as Belle Elmore – even from the screen you can feel the tension of their relationship.
Then his mistress, Ethel Le Neve, who is played with a quiet calmness by the very pretty Samantha Eggar.
If you're a fan of dramas then this could be for you – and any genuine film buff really has to watch this film. Excellent.
The second half of the Double Bill was The Raven with Boris Karloff, Vincent Price and Peter Lorre in a film that was shot in just 15 days – a kind of semi comic Horror Film
A young Jack Nicholson was a supporting actor playing Peter Lorre's son – however in real life it was reported that these two did not get on at all well during the making of the film – however I have come across other reports of Jack Nicholson saying that he admired all three of these leading actors, and sat around picking up tips from them with their vast film experience.
This proved to be Jack Nicholson's big break in films
Hazel Court enjoyed working on the film particularly with these veteran film actors and, although she said that he was not in the best of health, she enjoyed the company of Peter Lorre
Hazel Court appeared in three of Roger Corman's Edgar Allan Poe screen adaptations in the 60s: The Premature Burial (1962), The Raven (1963) and The Masque of the Red Death (1964).
However before this she was in Terence Fisher's The Curse of Frankenstein (1957), the film that launched the Hammer horror series.
In it, Hazel, whose life is threatened by the monster (Christopher Lee), played the naive cousin-fiancee of Baron Victor Frankenstein (Peter Cushing).
Nice posed Publicity still with Hazel Court and Boris Karloff – ABOVE
Grace Kelly and Ray Milland – Dial M for Murder
Filmed in 3D 'Dial M for Murder' is an intriguing thriller that is in many ways a perfect choice for Alfred Hitchcock as he is able to handle the twists to the plot with great aplomb. The scene where Grace is to be murdered and then manages to turn, grab the scissors and kill her assailant is handled very well indeed – but this would be 'egg and milk' to this Director.
We in the audience know what is going on – but how will Ray Milland be found out ?
The tension builds – will he finally be exposed ?
During the filming of Dial M for Murder' Grace Kelly soon found herself the subject of the gossip columns because of her closeness to her leading man, forty-nine-year-old Ray Milland who had been an Oscar winner in 1945 for The Lost Weekend, and he was well liked in Hollywood.
Ray Milland had married the former Murial Weber in 1932, and they had a son, Daniel, born 1940, and a daughter, Victoria, adopted in 1949.
Ray Milland was particularly susceptible to Grace Kelly's considerable charms, – who wouldn't be – and he fell in love with her and likewise Grace with Ray. "It was very serious between Ray and Grace," [Grace's sister] Lizanne recalls. They began to see each other, making little effort to conceal their romance.
Ray Milland surprised Lizanne – Grace Kelly's sister – one day by confiding the depth of his feelings for Grace to her. "I flew back from Hollywood on the same plane with him," she recalls, "and we had a long talk. He told me he really was very much in love with her."
On the set of 'Dial M for Murder – the two do look to be getting on very well indeed
Gossip in Hollywood tended to spread like wildfire and Ray Milland's wife, known to her friends as Mal, soon heard talk about her husband and this beautiful newcomer. She feared it was true, but there was no proof. Several weeks after her suspicions were first aroused, her fears were confirmed. A close friend of the Millands, who requested anonymity, recalls: "Ray was going on a trip, and he had just left the house. Mal's sister Harriet was there, and Mal poured her heart out to her about her suspicions. Harriet got in her car, followed Ray to the airport, and sure enough, there was Ray with Grace, going off on a tryst somewhere."
The Millands separated – Grace and Ray discussed marriage. He took an apartment in Hollywood and Grace spent a great deal of time there. One of the publicists at Paramount at the time, said, "I don't know if they were living together, but the story got back to me that someone from the studio went over to Ray's apartment and Grace answered the door."
It wasn't the publicity, which the veteran Ray Milland was more used to and less affected by than Grace was, but rather his realisation of the impracticality of his divorcing Mal that caused him to reconsider. Studio publicist Andy Hervey recalls that Mrs. Milland had an ace up her sleeve: "Mal told Ray, 'You go ahead and get a divorce and marry Grace Kelly. That's okay with me, because all the property is in my name.' Needless to say, it wasn't long before the marriage plans were off."
Grace Kelly had wanted to marry Ray Milland, and she was convinced that he would leave his wife and marry her.
That did not happen as we all know.
Rather a sad story – as this does seem to have been true love for them both – but it was not to be
Now back to the film ' Dial M for Murder'
Dial M for Murder would ultimately become one of Hitchcock's best-known—and best-loved—classics.
The film is, in terms of locations and number of characters, quite a sparse film that barely leaves the studio set. This is because it was based on a stage play by Frederick Knott, which premiered as a BBC TV special in 1952 and later opened at London's Westminster Theatre and, eventually, Broadway. After seeing the BBC production, producer Sir Alexander Korda acquired the rights to make the film version, and later sold them on to Warner Bros. for $75,000.
In the early 1950s, the 3D film craze was raging, and Warner Bros. were keen for Hitchcock to direct, sensing this was just up his street, although they also insisted that he use the 3D process on Dial M for Murder.
It meant that Hitchcock had to work with the giant cameras necessary for the process.
In order to make the film look interesting in 3D, Hitchcock used a pit into the floor of the set, so the camera could move at lower angles and capture objects like lamps in the foreground. As a result, the film looks different to any other that Hitchcock ever shot, particularly for the famous scissors murder scene. Unfortunately, by the time Dial M for Murder was released in 1954, the 3D fad was dying out, so the film was shown in 2D at most screenings.
Would love to see it in 3D – Wonder if such a print exists – I bet it does.
THIS WAS HITCHCOCK'S FIRST FILM WITH GRACE KELLY.
Of all of the iconic blonde stars Hitchcock cast in his films, the most famous one must be Grace Kelly, the actress-turned-princess.
He described her as a "rare thing in films … fit for any leading-lady part," and it was said he had the easiest working relationship with her of any star. They worked so well together that they went on to make two more films
Rear Window in 1954 and To Catch a Thief in 1955.
Because Dial M for Murder is based on a stage play, the original script had very little in the way of outdoor set pieces. Hitchcock wanted to keep it that way.
"I've got a theory on the way they make pictures based on stage plays; they did it with silent pictures, too. Many filmmakers would take a stage play and say, 'I'm going to make this into a film.' Then they would begin to 'open it up.' In other words, on the stage it was all confined to one set, and the idea was to do something that would take it away from the confined stage setting."
Hitchcock wanted to keep the confinement intact, so almost all of the action in the film takes place indoors, largely in the Wendices' apartment. This adds to the tension.
Hitchcock was always known as a meticulous director obsessed with detail, but on 'Dial M for Murder' even more so, in part because the 3D cameras were going to capture objects in a way his other films hadn't and because of this he selected every item in the Wendice apartment himself.
He also had a giant false telephone dial made for the famous "M" close-up in the title sequence.
Hitchcock's exacting eye also led him use the Colour to portray the psychological condition of Grace Kelly's character. As the film begins, the colours she wears are all very bright, suggesting a happy life in which she doesn't suspect anything is wrong. As the film grows darker for her, to the point that she's framed for murder, the wardrobe grows darker and "more sombre," as Hitchcock put it.
For the scene in which Swann (Anthony Dawson) attempts to murder Margot (Kelly) by strangling her (until she manages to stab him with a pair of scissors), Hitchcock had another exacting wardrobe request. He had an elegant velvet robe made for her, hoping to create interesting textural effects as the lights and shadows played off the fabric while she fought for her life. Kelly reasoned that, since Margot was alone in the apartment (as far as she knew) and was only getting out of bed to answer the phone, she wouldn't bother to put on a robe.
"I said I wouldn't put on anything at all, that I'd just get up and go to the phone in my nightgown. And [Hitchcock] admitted that was better, and that's the way it was done," said Grace Kelly later
Dial M for Murder had a very short shooting schedule – 36 days. The director took special care with one scene in particular: the murder sequence in which Margot stabs Swann with the scissors. Not only was it a key scene in the film, but it was also a moment that required particular care to make the 3D effects work. Hitchcock agonised over the scene to such a degree that he was reputed to have lost weight as a result – it certainly wouldn't have done him any harm !!
As for Hitchcock's famous cameo appearances in his films – In Dial M for Murder he appears in a class reunion photograph in the Wendice apartment, seated at a banquet table among other men.
Michaela Denis – a name from the early days of Television
One of the first travel type shows we got in the early days of television would be ones that featured Armand and his Wife Michaela Denis who, in those days, just seemed to travel around Africa, filming and producing fascinating documentary style programmes.
They were very popular – introducing to us places that seemed so far flung and unattainable – as they were in those days – and it opened our eyes to Africa and it's wild life. Sadly it was not, of course Colour Television – I have not heard if Armand shot the 16 mm films in colour – if he did then maybe they would still be around to view again.
At the same time – or maybe a bit before this Walt Disney had cleverly brought out his True Life Adventures – and these were filmed in colour and released onto the Cinema circuit often as supporting pictures to the main feature. These were very well received and as someone pointed out quite cheap to produce as the 'actors' didn't get paid !!
ABOVE – Michaela in her New York days as a Fashion Designer. She would even then, save up for adventurous holidays and on one of them to South America, she met Armand which led to marriage and a new life.
They were married in Potosi, high in the Andes, by special licence.
ABOVE – This picture of Armand and Michaela Denis was taken near Mount Kenya in Africa where they later lived – and these two cheetahs were their pets.
My memories were of their programmes is that they always seemed to come from the Ngorongoro Crater in the Serengeti National Park
ABOVE – Back in South America, Michaela is getting first hand experience of the cosmetics used by the Colorado Indians in South America.
ABOVE – We have moved on to Australia – in the Outback where Michaela is washing the hair of a small aboriginal girl by a 'billabong'
Back in Africa ABOVE to see Michaela giving a piece of fish to a beautiful crested crane.
Here Michaela is with an Aadvark in Kenya – I have never heard of such an animal. They are nocturnal with large claws apparently and dig quite deep holes.
Michaela Denis did not have much of an opinion of David Attenborough who she said was a 'fool and a thief' – mainly because he had started his 'Zoo Quest' programme on the back of their ideas and had quite blatantly copied a feature they were due to bring in on their next show.
Later in life and living in Kenya as she did, although she always maintained a home in London and came back each year for a time until the heat had subsided back home in Africa, she knew many of the English people who lived there, among them Joy Adamson who, it is said, she loathed because of the way that Joy Adamson treated her servants.
I may have mentioned this in a previous post – Armand Denis had helped with location filming of King Solomon's Mines for MGM in 1950 in Africa and it was that that introduced him to a potential for capitalising on his talent for film making and his love of African Wild Life – and travel.
In fact Michaela Denis also doubled for actress Deborah Kerr on location in Uganda for King Solomon's Mines
Four years after Armand died in 1971, Michaela Denis met and married her lawyer, Sir William O'Brien Lindsay, a former chief justice of Sudan, who died in his sleep a couple of months later. Rather a sad story.
Michaela died in 2003 in Nairobi. She was 88 years old.
Movie Memories Magazine – again – the Spring Issue
I am reminded of the 'waiting for a bus' thing when they all come at once – Well this seems to have happened here due to my own foolishness with renewing my Subscription – now all done and dusted and here I am with an embarrassment of riches in the form of the wonderful 'Movie Memories Magazines. This one is the Spring Issue with Errol Flynn featured on the front cover
He is also on the back cover with a full colour poster of 'The Adventures of Robin Hood'
I must at this stage mention an old friend – sadly no longer with us – David Small from Leicester who was probably the very biggest fan of Errol Flynn.
He had collected a huge amount of material on the star and was an expert on every film he ever made.
David was an great admirer of 'The Adventure of Robin Hood' with it's great cast and astonishing Technicolor but I have to say, and told David so, that I personally preferred the Walt Disney Richard Todd version 'The Story of Robin Hood and His Merrie Men' released in 1952 and again in beautiful Technicolor. David disagreed with me on this – as do most people I have to say.
To me the 1952 Robin Hood had been filmed in England – a lot of it at Burnham Beeches – and this gave the production a more authentic feel I thought

Kirk Douglas – some of his early films
born Issur Danielovitch Demsky)
December 9, 1916 – February 5, 2020
Kirk Douglas — who has passed away recently at the age of 103.
Over the course of his career, Kirk Douglas made some fine Westerns. Howard Hawks' The Big Sky and The Big Trees – both in 1952. Man Without A Star in 1955. John Sturges' Gunfight at the O.K. Corral from 1957, with Burt Lancaster as Wyatt Earp and Douglas as Doc Holliday — and Last Train From Gun Hill.
Another one was The Indian Fighter in 1955 – a good film.
He appeared with Rock Hudson in The Last Sunset, directed by Robert Aldrich, in 1962. Lonely Are The Brave was Kirk's favourite of his own films. In 1967 came The War Wagon with John Wayne.
He also made such films as 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea (1954). The Vikings (1957). Spartacus (1960). Seven Days In May (1964).
To my mind his acting in 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea 1954 was pretty hammy and bordered on pantomime but he injected life into this Walt Disney film – up against actors such as James Mason and Peter Lorre who in my opinion were far better.
However he was very good as Doc Holliday in 'Gunfight at the OK Corral' – a part played brilliantly by Victor Mature in My Darling Clementine' a decade before this.
When making 'Spartacus' – Kirk Douglas was one of the producers, and after a few weeks of the film being directed by Anthony Mann, Kirk sacked him. He was replaced by Stanley Kubrick who himself had a difficult time from Kirk – one of them said that 'it was a good film – could have been a great film, but that b…..st…d wanted to be in every shot of the film.'
Kirk Douglas ABOVE in 'Spartacus' – the caption said he starred in it and produced the film – and I would say 'there lies the problem'
I always saw him as a conceited man and this spilled over into his acting on screen. When he was restrained – as Doc Holliday for instance – he was very good, but when he was allowed to let rip he was moderate in my view.
Disturbing rumours also circulated – and still do – in Hollywood of him raping Natalie Wood when she was 16 in a hotel room in the film capital – at that time he was a major star and she did not report this to the police as her mother thought it would damage her career if she did – horrifying if true and I say this because neither of them are here to tell.
Kirk Douglas was the son of Russian Jewish immigrants, born Issur Danielovitch Demsky in Amsterdam, New York. He grew up poor, but was a fine student and gifted athlete. An acting scholarship got him into the American Academy of Dramatic Arts and he appeared in a few minor Broadway roles before joining the Navy in 1941.
After the war, he worked in the theatre and on radio. Lauren Bacall, a classmate from the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, who was now a star thanks to To Have And Have Not, convinced producer Hal Wallis to give Douglas a screen test. This got him a lead role in the 1946 picture The Strange Love Of Martha Ivers. His reviews were excellent and his career was on its way.
Jacques Tourneur's Out Of The Past, a terrific film with Kirk Douglas, Robert Mitchum and Jane Greer, came in 1947.
1948's I Walk Alone paired Kirk Douglas with Burt Lancaster — they'd become friends and make a total of seven films together. The Champion from 1949 earned Kirk his first Oscar nomination. There'd be others for The Bad And The Beautiful in 1952 and for his portrayal of painter Vincent van Gogh in 1956's Lust For Life.
In the 1950s, as television took hold of popular culture and the curtain began to close on the Hollywood studio system, film stars began developing their own films, which would be backed by the studios. With the formation of Bryna Productions, Kirk Douglas was one of the first to set up shop. (Bryna was his mother's first name.)

In 1981, President Carter awarded Kirk Douglas the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the Nation's highest civilian honor. Two years later, he received the Jefferson Award for his public service; and he later received the French Legion of Honor.
Tragedy struck in 1991, when he suffered a severe back injury when a helicopter he was a passenger in collided with a small plane during takeoff at Santa Paula Airport; the two men in the plane died. Then, in early 1996, he suffered a stroke. Remarkably he survived and lived until 2020
Great New – Movie Memories Magazine has arrived
Today is a Red Letter day – the Post arrived and along with it came the Movie Memories Magazine – in fact TWO of them – Issue 95 and 96 – because due to my own fault I had not received Edition 95 the Autumn 2019 copy.
Now I have two to read – and will have a wonderful time going through it this evening.
I know Chris who edits and produces this publication – and indeed have known his family over many years – but we have no connection with them at all other than being a fan.
Movie Memories Magazine ABOVE with Marilyn on the Front Cover
Movie Memories Magazine – a great poster for 'Unconquered' I see that Boris Karloff had a starring role.
Tammy 1957 – with Debbie Reynolds
I often see this billed as 'Tammy and the Bachelor' but as I remember it's release here it was as 'Tammy' – and I think that is better.
An Unlikely Double Bill in England
Debbie Reynolds had been around in films for a few years when she made 'Tammy' which proved to be one of the biggest money-making releases of 1957 – released by Columbia Pictures who must have been well pleased.
In it she plays an unsophisticated backwoods girl who rescues wealthy Leslie Nielsen from a plane crash and so, because of this, and to show his appreciation she is invited to visit and stay at Brentwood Hall – his plantation but at the same time as this her grandfather played by Walter Brennan is arrested for selling illegal corn liquor.
Debbie Reynolds as Tammy ABOVE AND BELOW with Leslie Nielsen
Debbie Reynolds as Tammy
At Brentwood Hall, Leslie Nielsen's family include Fay Wray as his Mother and Sidney Blackmer – his Dad along with Mildred Nantwick as his maiden aunt and the way that Debbie Reynolds fits into this odd situation is really what the film is about. While she is there, Tammy's refreshing naivety and charm somehow mesmerise the ill prepared family and gradually they all seem to start to come alive and follow their dreams and they all, in their different ways, find the happiness and fulfilment they were maybe seeking all thanks to Tammy
The only one less than happy is Leslie Nielsen's fiancée played by Mala Powers.
Tammy falls in love with Leslie Nielsen and him with her, and so we are set for what the punters wanted – a happy ending.
Debbie Reynolds also sang the title song 'Tammy' and the record realeased on the Coral label was a big hit both sides of the Atlantic Ocean – I do remember that Buddy also recorded on the Coral label which would have been very much at the same time again with great success.
I wonder if they met ?
Debbie Reynolds as Tammy – ABOVE with Leslie Neilsen and Mildred Natwick
Debbie Reynolds as Tammy – above with Leslie Nielsen
Debbie Reynolds was an actress from the Golden Age of Hollywood, who could keep up with some of the biggest stars in history.
Later in her career she became a collector
She virtually became the patron saint of film costume history. When the MGM Studios decided to auction off or give away all those iconic costumes from the Golden Age of Hollywood Debbie Reynolds literally emptied her bank account and purchased a great many of them. Without her foresight and determination, the loss of these costumes would have been one of the greatest tragedies in film history.
Her efforts to preserve the work of famous Hollywood designers and anonymous wardrobe assistants alike deserves all the praise it gets.
The CoronaVirus – Remember 'Fiend Without a Face'
I am looking back to a great favourite of mine – which I find, in a way, links to the latest situation we are all in.
If you remember – in the film 'Fiend Without a Face' the attacks on the population were again from an unseen killer and it wasn't until late in the film that we saw the face of the enemy.
Kynaston Reeves
It starred among others Kynaston Reeves – to me famous for playing Quelch in the BBC Series 'Billy Bunter' although in practise he didn't play the part that many times – only around 16 times – and this film came a little later.
Marshall Thompson
A British made 'Horror' film with quite good special effects and it had Marshall Thompson in the starring role with Kim Parker – she was a nice looking stress who was very good in this – She had a brief film career and didn't make that many after this one.
She had been born in Austria
Another Victim
I remember when first viewing this film, we had no idea what was going on and how the victims were killed but gradually we began to see and when we did it was quite horrific – maybe by today's standards a bit tame but I like it
Now what a Double Feature this would have been ABOVE
I thought that the Haunted Strangler must have been a film before or shortly after the war but in face it was made in 1958 about the same time as Fiend Without a Face. The fact that it starred Boris Karloff, Elizabeth Allan and Jean Kent made me make the assumption as they all seemed to be actors of an era before this.
The Film was actually released here as 'Grip of the Strangler' and was produced in England
Zombies of Mora Tau – and -The Man who turned to Stone – 1957
This is another I am not familiar with but came across the title which was reminiscent of the type of 'Horror' film we would get in the late fifties.
Apparently it was very much a 'B' film – but I often found that such films can be enjoyable and entertaining in the sense that they are mainly focused on telling a straightforward story to a , hopefully, non critical audience because we expect less from it maybe.
This is the story of a group of 'mad' scientists all around 200 years old who have been kept alive by tapping the life-force of young girls – something they had discovered long ago. Because they need a constant supply of such women victims, they operate under the cover of running a Women's Reformatory.
This seems to have been successful for them until a young and observant welfare worker joins the ranks of the staff and soon notices an unusually high number of deaths occurring. Charlotte Austin plays the welfare worker with Victor Jory top of the cast list as one of the scientists.
The story is that if the scientists does not get his 'youthful fix' they then turn to stone.
Apparently in the film as it reaches its conclusion, some of the make-up for the ones being turned to stone is not that convincing – maybe the already low budget didn't run to more expense in that area.
It was definitely not the scariest or the most exciting, nor was the science ever really explained, and in a film like this it does not need to be, but for a B picture, it was entertaining and a nice little chiller that you could easily be watched more than once.
This film went out as a Double Bill with Zombies of Mora Tau (also known as The Dead That Walk
Zombies of Mora Tau told the story of a group of living-dead sailors who, years before, had attempted to steal treasures from an African Idol. These sailors have now the job of guarding the treasure where it is hidden under the sea.
A new expedition led by Gregg Palmer and Joel Ashley come in search of the forbidden gems
Zombies Of Mora Tau is not short on atmosphere. It sets its stall out early on, establishing the island as a dark and mysterious place, where zombies are such a part of the fabric of society that their appearance on the roadside is barely registered by the locals.
It's version of Africa is brilliantly realised on a budget, it's sprawling jungle feeling hot and oppressive, but it's the European cemetery that really impresses. Full of the bodies of the unfortunate previous expeditions to find diamonds, it's wonderfully creepy and feels like a gothic Universal-style graveyard transplanted into the deepest, darkest jungle. It's stunning and has all the more impact coming in a film that you aren't expecting so much from.
Fifties Television
Television was very much in its infancy during the early fifties with just the One Channel – the BBC of course.
Nevertheless this early Television service gave us some memorable moments – some scary, some funny but mostly welcome and entertaining. After all, we would watch anything then as it was all so new – and it all seemed good.
The Coronation proved a major landmark for TV with live coverage including cameras inside Westminster Abbey which in those days was some feat in view of the big and somewhat clumsy and immobile cameras and also the sheer scale of what was required to give us the outside coverage.
I have before featured that wonderful Technicolor film 'John and Julie' made a couple of years later when a two young children decide to run away from home and travel to London to see The Queen being crowned. They have many adventures along the way and we see lovely colour footage of the crowds in London that day.
ABOVE – John and Julie are at this stage making progress
There was also a film made of the Coronation in colour so that cinema audiences could later view it.
Another film made the same year – The Conquest of Everest
Back to TV and who could forget having being scared by The Quatermass Experiment. I remember my Dad would not let my brother and I watch the last episode as he thought it too frightening and he knew that we had been watching the earlier episodes which had clearly alarmed us.
Without doubt the most disturbing serial over 6 weeks this Science Fiction production was written by Nigel Kneale
Then another one – later in the fifties was a very good Detective type series ' No Hiding Place'
Here we see Raymond Francis and Eric Lander in action in a scene.
I saw Raymond Francis in an old episode of Miss Marple with Joan Hickson the other day – and I do remember Eric Lander appearing on This is Your Life when the subject was Richard Todd in 1988.
He had appeared with Richard in that long running thriller 'The Business of Murder' which ran for years at the Mayfair Theatre
On ITV we have 'The Invisible Man'
The 26 half-hour episodes of the science fiction series "The Invisible Man" were originally broadcast on British ATV during the 1958-1959 season.
It was very well written, the special effects were good for that period, and we got inclusion of some top class British character actors.
I have to say that these comments are from other people as I don't think I ever saw it.
Although we had a Television very early in the 50s we didn't get ITV until mush later than other people for some reason.
I remember you had to have a box fitted to the television set with a switch that changed over to ITV – which we didn't get.

An octogenarian Roman Catholic nun, jailed for breaking into a nuclear weapons facility in Tennessee, is facing up to 30 years in prison after losing her plea for the most serious charge to be dropped.
Sister Megan Rice, 83, and two fellow peace activists staged a non-violent protest to symbolically disarm the Oak Ridge Y-12 nuclear weapons facility, home to the nation's main supply of highly enriched uranium, in July. They were initially charged with trespassing, a misdemeanor punishable by up to a year in prison, but felony charges quickly followed. They were eventually convicted of interfering with national security and damage to federal property.
This week, a judge denied a motion to acquit them of interfering with national security under the sabotage section of the US criminal code, which carries the harshest prison sentence of up to 20 years. Rice and her two fellow activists, Greg Boertje-Obed, 57, a carpenter, and Michael Walli, 68, a veteran, now face up to 30 years in prison, although the ruling by district judge Amul Thapar, in the eastern district of Tennessee, suggests their sentences will be more lenient than the maximum allowed.
The three describe themselves as 'Transform Now Plowshares', a reference to a passage in the bible, Isaiah 2:4, which states: "They shall beat their swords into ploughshares and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more."
They are currently in the Irwin County detention center, Georgia, awaiting their sentence.
In his ruling denying the so-called Rule 29 motion, Thapar writes: "The defendants are entitled to their views regarding the morality of nuclear weapons. But the defendants' sincerely held moral beliefs are not a get-out-of-jail-free card that they can deploy to escape criminal liability."
Bill Quigley, a law professor at Loyola University-New Orleans who works pro bono for the three, said "everybody is disappointed" by the decision. "We believe really strongly that they did not do anything that could be constituted as sabotage or violating the national security of the US. The prosecution admits that national security was not damaged. Their theory is that even though it wasn't damaged, the protesters intended to."
However, he said he took heart from the judge's acknowledgment that the non-violent nature of the protesters and their characters would be taken into consideration at sentencing.
The New York Times described the break-in as he "the biggest security breach" in the nation's atomic history.
The protesters argue that while they entered the plant with the intention of causing some symbolic damage, including painting slogans on buildings, their non-violent behaviour and peaceful natures could not be interpreted as trying to interfere with national defence. They argued that no reasonable jury could have found intent to cause harm, that the government had failed to prove any intent, and that their non-violent actions did not actually damage national defence.
However, in his ruling dated 1 October, the judge cites the defendants' phone calls made while in custody, including one in which Rice said the three entered Y-12 to "begin the work of disarmament"; Thapar argues this was evidence that they acted to frustrate the plant's mission to store and enrich uranium. The mission, he says, was among "activities of national preparedness".
At one point in the ruling, the judge refers to the sabotage charge and asks the question: "But what about the fact of the defendant's non-violence – does it make sense to deal as harshly with non-violence protesters as with foreign saboteurs?" He concludes that, the court must interpret the criminal statute by its terms and "cannot fashion case-by-case exceptions of sympathetic defendants". He goes on to say the defendants' non-violence will be relevant at sentencing.
The court must account for both the "nature and circumstances of the offense and the history and characteristics" of the defendants, he says. He also dismissed the defendants' Rule 33 motion, requiring a retrial based on the prosecutor's alleged misconduct.
Ralph Hutchinson, co-ordinator for Oak Ridge Environmental Peace Alliance, said he was disappointed but not surprised by the ruling. He said he spoke to Rice after the ruling and she told him: "We're fine, we're fine, it's all good."
Hutchinson said: "We did not expect the judge to rise to the occasion. The judge did say, though, he felt constrained by the technical language of the law and suggested he is not going to be overly harsh at sentencing."
Sentencing is scheduled for 28 January next year.


I went by Borders the other day when everything was 50 to 60% off. I got some presents for Son Number One and a few books for myself that were about $3.20 each. But one book not only caught my eye, it kept drawing me back. I just had this feeling I should buy it, even though it was a whole $8.60 practically the most expensive item I bought. It seemed really outrageous to buy an $8 book for me when I was A) broke and B) already spending way to much. But I just felt I should buy it.
The book is an YA called Stork, about a teenage girl who moves from CA to Minnesota, where — in addition to lusty jocks, snarky queen bees, and intriguing boys — she finds herself inducted against her will into the Islantic Stork Society–a society of old women who help unborn babies find their right mothers.
While the women are never referred to as witches, I thought the the portrayal of the old women, how they worked and what they did, was one of the most understandable and interesting of any coven-like group I've ever seen. The other magical things in the novel were really cool, too. Very low key and yet intriguing.

A report in the Financial Times lays bare the scale of the housing market downturn in central London - it suggests almost 40 per cent of new-build sales in recent months have been to corporate landlords.
Quoting the construction consultancy Molior, it says some 2,008 new-build homes — or 39 per cent of sales in the second quarter of 2018 — were to Build To Rent landlords who have increasingly looked to 'fire sales' to build up their stock.
Private sales in the same quarter declined by a third to 3,142.
The FT says discounts to asking prices from 10 to 15 per cent are now "becoming quite normal" with 20 to 30 per cent reductions possible on selected schemes.
The newspaper quotes Molior as saying such purchases are masking continued drops in individual sales of new apartments, many of which are in central London high-rise schemes approaching completion.
BTR purchasers during the quarter include US group Greystar, the housing association L & Q, the fund managers M&G, and Quintain, owned by the private equity investors Lone Star.

Q: Quickly drawing shapes with grid inside in TikZ I want to draw  a lot of simple things (i. e. polygons with vertices on the grid) like this one.

Right now my code is made with many uses of Ctrl+c ctrl+v and multicursor and looks like
\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{tikz}

\begin{document}

    \begin{tikzpicture}
        \draw[gray] (1,0) --++ (0,3);
        \draw[gray] (2,0) --++ (0,1);
        \draw[gray] (3,0) --++ (0,1);
        \draw[gray] (0,1) --++ (2,0);
        \draw[gray] (0,2) --++ (2,0);
        \draw[very thick] (0,0) --++ (0,3) --++ (2,0) --++ (0,-2) --++ (2,0) --++ (0,-1) -- cycle;
    \end{tikzpicture}

\end{document}

It gets even worse for bigger shapes. Is there any way to make the process easier, e. g. generate grid, but show only the part of it that is indside the polygon?

A: You can draw a grid and \clip it:
\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{tikz}

\begin{document}

    \begin{tikzpicture}
        \clip (0,0) |- ++(2,3) |- ++(2,-2) |- cycle;
        \draw[step=1.0,gray] (0,0) grid (3,3);
        \draw[very thick] (0,0) |- ++(2,3) |- ++(2,-2) |- cycle;
    \end{tikzpicture}

\end{document}

A: Simple code for the simple picture.
\documentclass[tikz,border=5mm]{standalone}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\draw[help lines] (0,0) grid (2,3) (2,0) grid (4,1);

Geliks floats across Europe, mysterious and elusive, landing in the Cold Busted inbox with a captivating album titled Indeed. There is no telling who Geliks is or what Geliks wants, but with Indeed the unidentified artist covertly drops 11 captivating tracks that give lovers of tough beats just what they need. Indeed!
The set opens with "2376 Broadway," imagining a dramatic moment soundtracked by sweeping strings, soulful vocals, and beats for days. It's catchy as hell, too. There's also the hypnotic "Paper Plane," combining lonesome piano, jazzy stand-up bass, and strange musique concrète shuffles. "Ball Flip" is another highlight, boldly mixing hip hop flavors with clanging bell melodies and some terrific rock guitar. These are just of a few of the tracks found on Indeed, and Geliks maintains the extraordinarily heady vibe to the end. Give it a spin!

When in cash emergency you tend to reach out to known people you know to get some fast cash however every time that doesn't work out hence you need to look out for quick cash. Emergency loans also popular with the name of payday loans is the solution to help you out with fast cash.
Payday Loans Columbus lenders who offers such emergency loans are licensed by the state authorities and are watched by the regulators. This would ensure protection of the borrowers from the hard approach of lenders in the case of any defaults or disputes.
The interest rate is little high for these types of loans for the reason that the loans are unsecured ones and also the lender is providing it for only few days for you hence the APR concept would not be a fair reflection of the cost. The actually pay out is for the days the loan is taken and are a few bucks as calculated by the lender before you agree and submit your online application for the loans.
The best thing about Payday Loans Columbus is that it is available 24 by 7 as you can apply online at any time. If you apply during business hours processing happens faster otherwise the loan comes in the next business day. You will have the convenience of applying for the loan by sitting at office or at home whenever you have some spare 10 minutes. You need not visit the store or stand in the line in the bank to get such small dollar loans.

Q: Can an interface be a superclass? In the Java documentaion it states:

@Override annotation informs the compiler that the element is meant to override an element declared in a superclass.

I have a class that implements an interface and the implemented method statements have the @Override annotation.
Does this mean (according to the docs) that the interface is a superclass of my class? But how can it be, considering that interfaces only contain 'empty' methods, not methods that actually do stuff?
My code is LibGDX-related:
public class MouseAndKeyboard implements ApplicationListener {
    private Texture plane1;
    private Sprite mainPlane;
    private SpriteBatch mainSpritePacket;

    @Override
    public void create() {
        float w = Gdx.graphics.getWidth();
        float h = Gdx.graphics.getHeight();

        ...

A: For questions like this it's best to check the Javadoc. And the Javadoc mentions "supertype" not "superclass": https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/lang/Override.html

A: It's still called an interface, it prevents you from making mistakes, so you should use it however.
Checkout the JSR http://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/#9.6.4.4
Chapter 9.6.4.4 @Override
also:
Should we @Override an interface's method implementation?

A: @Override always bothered me also, because it is used for both overriding the actual superclass method, and implementing an interface method. So, the documentation in taht part isn't written in the best way.

considering that interfaces only contain 'empty' methods

This isn't true anymore, in Java 8 interfaces can contain default implementations for declared methods.

A: The explaination in the documentation is a bit sloppy. An Interface is not a superclass because a class can only have one superclass but implement multiple Interfaces. But you should still use the @Override Annotation for interface methods to show that this method ins inherited (there is no different Annonation only for interface methods).

The Vestcor Companies Break Ground on The Quarry in Big Coppitt Key, Florida
Ambar3, part of the Vestcor Companies family, began work this month on an affordable housing community in the beautiful Florida Keys
Jacksonville, August 14, 2018 – The Vestcor Companies announced today that they've officially broken ground on The Quarry, an affordable housing community in Big Coppitt Key, Florida. The new community is a welcome addition to the area. The Florida Keys continue to rebuild after Hurricane Irma, one of strongest Atlantic hurricanes on record, hit the region last fall destroying hundreds of homes and parts of U.S. Highway 1.
"We are excited to begin developing our first community in the Keys, which will be the largest affordable housing community in the area", said Vestcor President Steve Moore. "This community would not be possible without all of our partners, particularly Frank, Richard and Danny Toppino and their family."
The Quarry is a 208-unit affordable housing community, which includes nine buildings, a clubhouse, swimming pool, dog park, outdoor pavilion and the option of one, two or three-bedroom units.
The Quarry clubhouse and initial apartment building will be complete next year with full community completion expected January 2020.
Development of affordable housing is a major priority for Vestcor who owns 22 affordable housing communities across the state. The units at The Quarry are income-restricted based on the following requirements:
40 percent of the units are reserved for individuals who make less than 60 percent of the area median income for Monroe County.
Five percent of the units are for those who make less than 28 percent of the median income.
55 percent of units are for those who make less than 120 percent of the median income.
Development costs total approximately $60 million. This project was financed using low income housing tax credits allocated by Florida Housing Finance Corporation, as well as a State Apartment Incentive Loan from FHFC.
