Let Kevin Hart host the Oscars

Ellen still wants Kevin Hart to host Oscars
Editor's Note: Kara Alaimo, an assistant professor of public relations at Hofstra University, is the author of "Pitch, Tweet, or Engage on the Street: How to Practice Global Public Relations and Strategic Communication." She was spokeswoman for international affairs in the Treasury Department during the Obama administration. Follow her on Twitter @karaalaimo. The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of the author; view more opinion at CNN.
On Thursday evening, comedian Ellen DeGeneres said Kevin Hart should get to host the Oscars this year after all. Hart gave up the role in December after homophobic tweets from nearly a decade ago resurfaced. Now, DeGeneres – a prominent member of the gay community herself – says she has called the Academy of Motion Picture Arts of Sciences, and they would be happy for Hart to return. "I believe in forgiveness. I believe in second chances. And I believe in @KevinHart4real," DeGeneres tweeted.

DeGeneres is right: Hart should host the Oscars this year. Here's why.
In clips from his upcoming interview on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Hart says he understands why his past posts were hurtful and people were upset. "I don't joke like that anymore because that was wrong," he says. "That was a guy that was just looking for laughs, and that was stupid. I don't do that anymore."
As a society, it's important for us to forgive people for hateful comments they made in the past if they have truly repented and changed their views. After all, we want people to learn and grow. By contrast, if people who have made homophobic (or racist or sexist or other bigoted) comments are never allowed to apologize and be accepted back into mainstream society, they would be incentivized to become even more hateful so that they can find support and community among extremist groups That would be terrible for the gay community.

Kevin Hart and the art of the celebrity apology
Allowing Hart to host would send a message to others who have made disparaging and bigoted remarks in the past that it's possible for them to become more informed and tolerant – and that Americans will embrace them for doing so. That would be an incredibly powerful example and could cause others to renounce hate, too.
But Hart and DeGeneres are wrong about one thing. In his interview with DeGeneres, Hart said people had gone through 40,000 of his tweets to find the inappropriate ones, calling the recirculation of his past posts "a malicious attack on my character." DeGeneres said that, if he doesn't host, the trolls who found the offensive tweets are "going to win."
That's not true. We're all responsible for everything we say and do – including, of course, our own social media posts. Saying that something is old isn't a valid excuse. But, if someone has truly evolved in their thinking and is remorseful, they should be able to disavow statements they regret from the past. This appears to be the case for Hart.

Louis C.K.'s Parkland joke is what happens when comedy fails
Hart has already apologized. But, if he hosts the Oscars, he would need to open the ceremony by doing so again and renouncing his past comments. This could give the event a great theme: The need for Americans to accept people who are different – and people who have erred in the past.
That would send an important message across the country. Interest in the controversy could also be great for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and draw more viewers. Last year's ceremony, which was widely described as boring, had a viewership of only about 26.5 million people – the lowest number in a decade.
Having Hart as host would be great for America – and the academy. Here's hoping the producers are enlightened enough to cast him back in the role.

Bikuspidalität liegt bei einer Fehlbildung von Aorten- oder Pulmonalklappe vor. Beide Herzklappen bestehen normalerweise aus drei halbmondförmigen Taschen (Semilunarklappen), in diesem Fall jedoch nur aus zwei.

Die Bikuspidalität ist die häufigste anatomische Variante des Herzens (Inzidenz 1–2 %) und tritt gehäuft zusammen mit einer Aortenisthmusstenose auf. Als ursächlich wird ein Gendefekt (NOTCH1) angesehen.

Die Fehlbildung ist mittels Echokardiographie oder MRT erkennbar. Inwieweit ein konkreter Krankheitswert besteht, ist umstritten, ein Einfluss auf die Lebenserwartung jedenfalls konnte nicht nachgewiesen werden.

State Senator Sue Rezin Asks Auditor General Frank Mautino To "Step Aside"
Posted by wlpo on June 2, 2016
You can count one Illinois Valley state lawmaker among those asking Auditor General Frank Mautino to step aside.
State Senator Sue Rezin issued a statement today saying that, while she and Mautino had a good working relationship, despite belonging to different political parties. However, Rezin says the office of Auditor General is responsible for keeping state government accountable.
She went on to explain that "with this now public federal investigation, I believe Auditor General Mautino can no longer serve in that capacity." The Republican Rezin then suggests Mautino step aside, without pay, until the investigation is over.
A citizen complaint sparked an investigation by the Illinois State Board of Elections into Mautino's campaign spending, which included more than $200,000 on gas and repairs at a single service station.
Exelon Moving Forward with Early Retirement of Clinton, Quad Cities Nuclear Plants
A major provider of power in Illinois is planning to move forward with shutting down two plants due to struggles in Springfield.
Exelon announced its plans in a statement today to begin the process of "early retirement" for their Clinton and Quad Cities nuclear plants. They blame a "lack of progress on Illinois energy legislation" for the move. They say lawmakers were unable to pass the Next Generation Energy Plan which is "critical to the state's environment and economy."
Despite being 2 of the company's best-performing generators, they have lost about $800 million over the past 7 years. The early retirements would take effect June 1st of 2017 for Clinton, and the same date the following year for the Quad Cities Station.
Exelon employs about 1,500 between the two plants, and said the plants support "about 4,200 direct and indirect jobs."
Streator Police looking to catch illegal peddlers
A couple guys calling themselves Ethan and Jacob are giving door-to-door salesmen a bad name.
Streator Police say they are getting several complaints about solicitors named Ethan and Jacob who are trying to sell Dish and DirecTV services. The two guys allegedly claim the rival companies have combined services and ask for your credit card information and leave behind a cell phone number. The men are both white and wear picture ID's around their necks.
According to police, they don't have a city permit. You're urged not to give them credit card information.
If you have information about Ethan and Jacob, call the Streator Police Department.
Fire breaks out in vacant Streator home
Another vacant house caught fire in Streator.
A 9-1-1 call went out just before two o'clock Thursday morning about heavy smoke coming from the back of a vacant house at 315 Boys Street. Streator firefighters had the fire out in about 10 minutes and contained it to a bedroom.
Nobody was hurt. The state fire marshal's office has been called to help investigate what started the fire.
IVCC employees "get to steppin'"
You've probably wondered how far you walk on a daily basis when all of your steps are added up. At Illinois Valley Community College, employees tracked that exact amount as part of a national program.
The Walk Across America virtual walk encouraged participants to track the number of steps they take over a six-week span. For IVCC, it turned out to be quite a hike.
The 26 employees who participated in the program took nearly 5.8 million steps in that time. Together, they walked a distance of about 2,900 miles. That's the equivalent of walking from the college to San Francisco and part of the way back.
After the program ended, prizes were given to the three who trekked the farthest.
More details released in crash involving Peru school bus
Parents who signed on to chaperone a field trip got more than they bargained for in Peru.
A bus carrying 42 students, staff and parents was hit Wednesday morning on its way to Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park in Millbrook. Twenty-three-year-old Jessica Bryan of Ladd is accused of failing to yield in her car and crashing into the school bus driven by 55-year-old Becky Brown of Peru. The crash happened on Route 251 near Walmart.
Two of the students along with both drivers were taken to Illinois Valley Community Hospital in Peru. The students were taken to the hospital as a precaution according to Peru Schools Superintendent Mark Cross.
Another bus showed up and took the remaining students to their planned field trip.
Manhunt continues for Peru bank robber
The manhunt for a bank robber in Peru rolls into its second day.
Peru Police Chief Doug Bernabei says they are looking for a man and believe he is the only person responsible for Tuesday morning's heist at Centrue Bank on Shooting Park Road. Bernabei says the robber did get away with cash but won't say exactly how much.
The robber allegedly showed what looked to be an assault rifle in robbing the bank. The thief was wearing a wig, an oversized suit and a mask. He ran out the back door of the bank and could've sped away in a small hunter green, 4-door car. There were supposedly sightings of the car on Shooting Park Road prompting Peru elementary schools to go on lockdown.
If you have any information, call the Peru Police Department.
Online donation drive underway to help family of Peru teen
If you've been following the story of a Peru teen who died after being pinned underneath a car, his family has some amazing news to report.
Posting an update on a "Go Fund Me" page set up on behalf of the family of 16-year-old Gavin Freeman, family members say Gavin's donated heart has saved a 15-year-old boy in Kansas City while Freeman's donated kidneys have helped a 49-year-old man in Chicago. The teen's organs were donated after he died last weekend at OSF St. Francis Medical Center in Peoria.
Freeman was flown to Peoria last week after being pinned underneath a friend's car that he was working on. Investigators think the car rolled off a jack.
To help his family with the financial burden, a "Go Fund Me" page is set up. In just over a day, nearly $5,000 has been donated.

Tommorow's Harveyst
In the past few months, we have seen the Griffin calling for the head of the Mad King in the outplaying of the alchemical drama of the Trumps.
Ariana Grande as Eurydice was seen falling forever, becoming the latest of many glyphs of the reflekted pop star as ISIS murder.
The Twin Peaks so prevalent in symbolism are those of Above and Below and Self and Not-Self as the Other-Doppelgänger. The nuclear bomb of episode 8 brings with it the cosmic shattering of the vessels. The Lynched man's avatar Cooper enacts the Orphic myth of Eurydice in confronting Judy and Jeffries the ascended Blackstar Hierophant Under Hermetic Pressure—who, in defeating his doppelgänger, ascends from the Black Lodge—but his time has not yet come.
The Gnostic-Tantric subject-object division of reflections appears in an inverted heaven; Audrey the eternal Dark-Haired Dreamer is lost in the dance.
Hurricane Lee-Harvey shoots from the Texas School Book Depository, where the Lost Cause narrative was propagandized to a generation. The statues of the Old South are the idols of Lower Egypt; forms without substance worshipped by the profane.
Heather Heyer as the Heh-Heh glyph of Binah-Malkuth as exiled Shekinah collides with the Quantum Field driven by the fascist in his GVF 1111 chariot; this being the GUF as well of souls and the 111 as ALePh.
In previous years we were told repeatedly that a Storm was coming . . . the storm being, of course, Stormfront and its ideology of the Nazi Black Sun as the Blackstar rising from the Id, bringing fascism in its wake. The New Killer Star, resurgent after a generation forgot them.
History repeats itself as farce—populist Bannon and the Alt-Right ruffians have been dispersed, just as Hitler suppressed the SA Brownshirts in his consolidation of power; he realized the military was a much more effective tool.
The Alt-Right is a bunch of mentally deficient infantile dweeblords with the fantastic opinions of Ignatius Reilly who roleplay as Nazis on the Internet because they have absolutely nothing better to do with their time and lack strong father-figures in their lives. They are probably the strongest argument for reinstating the draft. It's another tribalist paradigm born out of a reaction to the Left's splintering into various subgroups following the failure of Occupy Wall Street.
The worst part is that these idiotic paranoid delusions, in a slightly sanitized form, are now infesting FB and get taken up by simple-minded, uncritical fools who blindly believe anything posted on the Internet.
They diagnose the sickness of society as a departure from the Tradition, but do not perceive that Ritual without meaning is only debased Gnosis. Julius Evola actually serves as a Gateway Drug away from reactionary politics towards a greater apoliteia.
The Hermetic tradition is towards androgyny, towards unity. Theirs is clinging to a dying masculinity. The Cargo Cult fetishizes the forms of masculinity, the forms of ritual, the forms of culture, but not the things in themselves.
Every knee shall bow . . .
To the modern fascist, concerned only with juvenile video game fantasy, Antifa are at once effeminate pink-haired cucks and dangerous black-masked domestic terrorists. "Thus, by a continuous shifting of rhetorical focus, the enemies are at the same time too strong and too weak."
4chan or Fortune as world-axis swastika-spinner created Evola Chan meme in 2014. Meme Magic of the pink haired girl from the keking frogs of Aristophanes. Images of Beauty are captured in the Upside-Down as oblivion spreads in the great play of Lalita.
Persephone as Sophia admiring the idea of Beauty reflected in Dark Waters is dragged into the Underworld by Hades as the Demiurge at the beginning of things, leading to the pageant of sin and death that is the world-stage.
Observing the Play is not participating in the Mystery; a voyeur becomes a murderer of Self. That is the supreme Gnosis of the Universal Sorrow.
Hugh Hefner (dead on Route 91) in his Pleasure Palace is ruler of hell. "In Xanadu did Kubla Khan a stately pleasure dome decree"—Citizen Kane is the Donald's favorite film.
Paddock is defined as an enclosure for Dark Horses. The 32nd floor = 32 paths of the Tree as bullets of the sacred river Alph zigzag from Kether to Malkuth. The shooting takes place in the Egypt Below under the Luxor black pyramid—"Egypt is an image of heaven" as Hermes Trismegistus sayeth.
HEAVEN OR LAS VEGAS
Marilyn Manson falling = Heaven Upside Down. See the Acts of Peter and the symbolism of his upside-down cross as the cosmic anthropos falling down below, as Bowie said in Blackstar—"We were born upside-down / The wrong way 'round."
Marilyn, the blonde bombshell of expansive luminosity and easy procreation.
Manson, the cult leader preaching Race War.
Jesus Camp OS. Antichrist Superstar. Rosemary's singer must die, as always. Traditional society held the Priest-King as divine intermediary charged with performing the necessary sacrifices to feed the multitude; these half-remembered rites are preserved in the profane world by con-men and zealots.
Mandalay is Mandala as the central world-axis (literally the origin of the world) surrounded by impenetrable ice, from which the White Walkers emerge from the Id to wreak havoc in the Game of Thrones series. North Korea is the pole of the North Kore still unknown to those gambling their lives away in the Egypt Below where the House always wins.
CHRIST, THE CORN GOD
In the death of another Major Tom as Heartbreaker, we approach closer to the Black Star and the Dark Tower in which the Mad King dwells; not a change but a revealing of the nature of power and delusion in the hearts of men (the riddle of the sphinx whose answer is "man").
Minor Tom (Petty) as the Benben Heart-Breaker of Osiris in continuing apokalypsis of Black Stars emerging in the City of the Pyramids at the concealed center of the Mandala(y) in the North Kore.
Things fall down from on high and erect the Walls of Fascism down below.
MR. JACKPOTS
Adam Kadmon falls into matter, and in the Egypt Below sets up a delusive reflection of the Egypt above. More will die before they get the message through their hardened hearts filled with ideology.
Mary Lou is Bowie's lover in The Man Who Fell to Earth (from Mars). All disasters are repetitions of the original Fall, and are thus easily decoded once one has the key . . . painfully so. Whether we take Mars as a hint of ancient Martian colonization (per David Icke's reveries) or merely Adam as a man of Red Earth (Adamah).
The watery gates of Upper and Lower Cola: "Harvey's in the sky with diamonds" and "Manson's in the air" when crossing the threshold from the Crowley way of being . . .
The crimes of Mr. Harvey were foretold long ago; Harvey's Harvest Festival is the reaping of Persephone by Hades in the yearly Harvest rite of the Fall. And of course, it all started with Ronan Farrow. #ROSEARMY's Baby is a rapist from Hollywood. The riddle of man is that he is a fascist lecher at heart; the sooner we stop deifying mortals, the better. The World-Illusion is the silver screen that keeps the Self entranced in the Play, metaphorically raped and murdered by the archontic forces of Lower Egypt.

Q: QR decoder that works on mac? Anyone know a QR decoder that works on mac or that might be online? I just need to decode one single image.

A: Unfortunately, the most used library libdecodeqr is depends on OpenCV (gtk2) and it is too hard to compile it on OS X. (Tried to compile it because it is needed by Image::DecodeQR perl module - but unsuccessful).
Fortunately, found this link: http://macscripter.net/viewtopic.php?id=37404 from citing the next:

*

*Download the ZBar source code.

*Unpack the the tarball, and open the resulting directory in a Terminal window.

*Type ./configure --disable-video --without-python --without-gtk --without-qt to configure the build process, limiting dependencies to ImageMagick.

*Type "make" to invoke the build process.

*Type "sudo make install", and enter an administrator password when prompted.

You will need ImageMagick what can be installed from macports.
After installing the ZBar, you can nicely decode qrcode with a command
zbarimg qrcode_file.png

Tested on OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 (and Lion/10.7.5)- and works nicely. Becasue it only depends on ImageMagick (exists in macports)- should be easily "compilable" on other OS X versions too.

A: Using brew, it is easy to install zbar, a QR code reader.
brew install zbar

Then a QR code can be read by calling:
zbarimg qrcode_file.png

Also @jm666, brew can be used to install opencv.

A: There is an open-source command line tool named ZBar. It takes a photo as an argument and extracts the information out of any QRCode that it detects in the image.
The open-source project QR-Reader-Mac provides an Applescript script that acts as a wrapper to zbar. You can create a shortcut to the script for processing QRCodes or create a service, as explained below. The script will automatically open the URL contained within the QRCode in your default browser.
Usage

Step by step
ZBar can be easily installed with Homebrew:
brew install zbar

To install QR-Reader-Mac:

*

*Open the QR-Reader-Mac GitHub project page, select Code, and download the project as a ZIP file:

*Double click the ZIP file to extract it.

*Double click the workflow you want to install. The following Pop-UP should appear:

*Confirm by pressing install.

*Open System Preferences and add a shortcut to the open_QRCode service under Keyboard > Shortcuts > Services > General:

(Important: Note that QR-Reader-Mac expects to find the executable 'zbarimg' in /usr/local/bin/zbarimg, which is the standard path Homebrew will install it.)
Copy to Clipboard
The QRCode2Clipboard.workflow can be used to extract the content of the QR-Codes into the Clipboard. It can be installed in the same way as the open_QRCode.workflow.

$2.3 billion battery plant in Tennessee to add 1,300 jobs
GM and LG venture in Spring Hill adds to electric vehicle juice in state's economy April 16, 2021 | by Staff and wire reports | Copyright © 2022
AP Photo/General Motors Vehicles are assembled at the General Motors manufacturing plant in Spring Hill, Tenn. A 2.8 million-square-foot plant will go up next to the auto plant to make batteries for EVs.
Tennessee's economy is continuing to get charged up by the automotive shift to electric vehicles.
With three auto assembly plants in the state already making or about to make EVs, a joint venture between General Motors and LG Energy Solutions announced Friday it will build a $2.3 billion battery production facility next to the GM plant in Spring Hill, Tennessee, and add 1,300 new manufacturing jobs.
"We are taking bold steps necessary to accelerate toward an all-electric future and to support our vision of zero crashes, zero emissions and zero congestion," said GM CEO Mary Barra at a news conference in Nashville.
The partnership between GM and LG Energy known as Ultium Cells LLC will build a 2.8 million-square-foot plant next to GM's auto plant in Spring Hill.
Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee declared the new battery plant project "the largest single investment of economic activity in the state's history" while praising the project.
"This partnership with General Motors will transform Tennessee into another key location for electric vehicle and battery production," Lee said.
Volkswagen in Chattanooga and Nissan in Smyrna, Tennessee also are shifting more to EVs with battery-powered models, making Tennessee one of the biggest producers of electric vehicles in the country.
Friday's announcement of the new battery plant by GM and LG in Spring Hill — one of the biggest industrial investments ever in Tennessee — came just five days after LG announced a $1.8 billion settlement of a trade secrets dispute with its South Korean rival SK Innovation to allow SK to proceed with plans for a $2.6 billion battery plant in Jackson County, Georgia. The SK Innovation plant is one of the biggest economic development projects in Georgia and will supply batteries for Volkswagen's new battery-powered SUV to be assembled in Chattanooga in 2022.
The Spring Hill battery plant is scheduled to begin production by 2023. The joint venture already is building the Ohio plant, which will employ about 1,100 people.
GM has previously announced that the Cadillac Lyriq electric SUV will be built at the Spring Hill complex. The SUV, due in showrooms during the first half of 2022, will go an estimated 300 miles (482 kilometers) per charge.
GM is likely to need far more battery capacity if it's able to deliver on a goal of converting all of its new passenger vehicles from internal combustion engines to electricity by 2035.
Industry analysts have said automakers face a global shortage of batteries as the industry moves away from gasoline powered vehicles. Most of the world's batteries are built in China and other countries.
"It will allow us to build solid and stable U.S-based supply chains that enable everything from research, product development and production to the procurement of raw components," LG Energy Solution President and CEO Jonghyun Kim said. "Importantly, I truly believe this coming together transcends a partnership as it marks a defining moment that will reduce emissions and help to accelerate the adoption of EVs."
Lee declined to detail how much the state had provided in incentives but said that information would come out soon.
"We will accommodate the companies as they determine what strategies they're going to take for manufacturing," Lee told reporters. "The demand for their products is enormous, we think this is a very wise investment."
Barra said GM's proprietary Ultium battery technology is at the heart of the company's strategy to compete for nearly every EV customer in the marketplace, whether they are looking for compact cars, luxury vehicles, work trucks, commercial trucks or high-performance machines.
Ultium batteries are unique in the industry because the large-format, pouch-style cells can be stacked vertically or horizontally inside the battery pack. This allows engineers to optimize battery energy storage and layout for each vehicle design. Energy options range from 50 to 200 kilowatt hours, which could enable a GM-estimated range up to 450 miles or more on a full charge with 0-60 mph acceleration in 3 seconds1.
GM's future Ultium-powered EVs are designed for Level 2 and DC fast charging. Most will have 400-volt battery packs and up to 200 kW fast charging capability while GM's truck platform will have 800-volt battery packs and 350 kW fast charging capability.
General Motors has made several announcements in the last 18 months that underscore its commitment to an all-electric, zero-emissions future, including:
GM committed more than $27 billion to EV and AV product development, including $7 billion in 2021, and plans to launch 30 EVs globally by the end of 2025, with more than two-thirds available in North America. Cadillac, GMC, Chevrolet and Buick will all be represented, with EVs at all price points for work, adventure, performance and family use.
In October, 2020, GM announced it would invest $2 billion in its Spring Hill, Tennessee assembly plant to begin the transition to become the company's third vehicle manufacturing site to produce electric vehicles, joining Factory ZERO in Detroit and Hamtramck, Michigan, and Orion Assembly in Orion Township, Michigan. The all-new Cadillac Lyriq will be the first EV produced at GM's Spring Hill assembly plant. Production of the Cadillac XT6 and XT5 will continue at Spring Hill.
In Chattanooga, VW is investing $800 million to expand its assembly plant to build the ID.4 electric SUV. The VW expansion includes a 564,000-square-foot addition to the body shop where workers will build both internal combustion engine vehicles and EVs on the same assembly line.
Also, the company is building a 198,000-square-foot facility adjacent to its factory for the assembly of battery packs for EVs.
After the expansion, the Chattanooga factory will have capacity to build more than 100,000 EVs annually, according to the automaker. The company has pledged to hire another 1,000 employees in the expansion. The plant will continue to assemble the Passat sedan and Atlas and Atlas Cross Sport SUVs.

SAN ANTONIO - UPDATE: Both House Bill 14 and Senate Bill 16 have been approved in the state House and Senate respectively.
If you become a peace officer in Texas, part of your student debt could be paid for if either of two bills filed by Texas lawmakers becomes law.
Lawmakers are trying to help with what they call a shortage of officers statewide.
Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar agrees that there is an officer shortage, not just in the state but across the United States.
"Here, as of late, in law enforcement, every agency in the country is having a hard time recruiting good applicants," Salazar said.
Fewer recruits in Texas is why state lawmakers Rep. Lynn Stucky and Sen. Kelly Hancock have filed House Bill 14 and Senate Bill 16, which would help pay off student loans of new peace officers.
Hancock called the Senate bill "an important recruitment tool for a tough and too-often thankless job."
Both bills would set up a student loan repayment program for new peace officers, paying off debt of anywhere between $20,000 and $30,000 for an officer who stays on the force for a certain amount of time.
Salazar said the legislation could help locally. He said the number of people wanting to become deputies has been lower than in recent years.
The Bexar County Sheriff's Office currently has 50 openings for law enforcement professionals. Last weekend, the agency held a career fair to attract more recruits for law enforcement and detention positions.
Salazar said he believes the nationwide officer shortage is a generational issue.
"Right now, a lot of money is being spent on teaching law enforcement agencies how to attract the millennial generation," Salazar said.
He said that, currently, BSCO has a program that reimburses working deputies who are taking classes to a certain extent. To qualify, the student must be a full-time deputy while taking classes to get partial reimbursement.
"A better-educated deputy is a more job-satisfied deputy," Salazar said.
The San Antonio Police Department said it is currently not feeling this same shortage of officers, as its number of recruits has increased over the past three years.
SAPD officials said they could not comment on a specific bill but said that, generally speaking, they support any legislation that encourages individuals to pursue a career in law enforcement.

Joseph Aldège Albert "Baz" Bastien (August 29, 1919 – March 15, 1983) was a Canadian professional ice hockey goaltender, head coach and general manager. He played five games for the Toronto Maple Leafs of the National Hockey League in 1945, but received most of his playing accolades while with the Pittsburgh Hornets of the American Hockey League. He later became the Hornets' head coach and general manager and served in several front office positions with National Hockey League clubs until he was named the general manager of the Pittsburgh Penguins in 1976. He served in that capacity until his death in a car crash in 1983.

Playing career
Bastien began his playing career in 1939, playing for the Port Colborne Sailors of the Ontario Hockey Association Senior A League. He was sponsored by the Maple Leafs and in 1940 began playing for their team in the Senior A League: the Toronto Marlboros. The then 21-year-old goaltender led the Marlboros to the league championship in his first season with the club. He spent another year with the Marlboros before joining the Cornwall Flyers of the Quebec Senior Hockey League.

His playing career was temporarily interrupted by a two-year stint of military service with the Canadian Army. He returned to North America and playing hockey in 1945, beginning the season with the Maple Leafs. Unfortunately for him he was unable to secure a permanent spot on the Leafs' roster after Turk Broda returned from his own military service.

Bastien was sent by the Maple Leafs to the Pittsburgh Hornets, their top professional affiliate. He spent the majority of four seasons with the Hornets. He was named to the league's First All-Star team in 1947, 1948 and 1949 and also won the Hap Holmes Memorial Award for fewest goals against in 1948 and 1949.

Personal tragedy befell Bastien on September 30, 1949, at Maple Leafs training camp in Welland, Ontario. On the third or fourth shot he faced that day the puck struck his right eye. The damage to his eye was severe to the extent that it needed to be removed. Bastien's playing career was over, and he would wear a glass eye for the rest of his life.

Front office
"Baz" remained with the Hornets in an administrative capacity and was named their new head coach during the 1949–50 season. The following season, he was named general manager, lasting one season before being replaced. He returned to the Hornets as head coach in 1953, again for a single season. When the Hornets returned to Pittsburgh after a five-season absence due to the destruction of Duquesne Gardens and construction of the Pittsburgh Civic Arena Bastien returned with them, again as head coach. He moved to the general manager's position again in 1962, and remained in that capacity until the Hornets folded in 1967. He returned behind the bench in 1966, coaching them to a Calder Cup win, their third, in their final season.

He joined the Detroit Red Wings as assistant general manager to former Hornet Sid Abel, and followed Abel to the Kansas City Scouts, in the same capacity, in 1974.

Bastien returned to Pittsburgh in 1976, replacing Wren Blair as general manager of the Pittsburgh Penguins. His first trade for the Penguins took place on September 20, 1977. In that trade he acquired Brian Spencer from the Buffalo Sabres in exchange for Ron Schock. On several occasions he traded some of the Penguins' stars in order to maintain the team's payroll. In November 1977, Bastien traded All-Star MVP Syl Apps, Jr. to the Los Angeles Kings in exchange for Dave Schultz. Later in that month he sent superstar Pierre Larouche to the Montreal Canadiens for Pete Mahovlich and Peter Lee. Bastien also faced criticism for trading Pittsburgh's first round draft pick, on three occasions, in 1977, 1978 and 1979.

Death
Bastien attended a dinner by the Professional Hockey Writer's Association (PHWA) on March 14, 1983.  Later that night while driving home, he collided with a motorcycle on Interstate 376 in suburban Green Tree, Pennsylvania at 12:15 AM, March 15, 1983.  He was pronounced dead at Mercy Hospital due to having fractured his skull in the collision and having had a heart attack afterward. He was 63. Penguins coach Eddie Johnston was named his replacement on May 27, 1983.

Two awards were created the following season to honor Bastien. The American Hockey League began awarding the Aldege "Baz" Bastien Memorial Award annually to the best goaltender in the league, and the Pittsburgh chapter of the PHWA awarded the Aldege "Baz" Bastien Memorial Good Guy Award to the Penguin judged to be most cooperative with the media.

Minor Premise: One man can dig a posthole in sixty seconds.
Conclusion: Sixty men can dig a posthole in one second.
Multithreading allows an application to do multiple things at the same time. While it is often possible to get the same effect with clever programming in a single thread, Java's extensive support of threads makes it easier to use multiple threads. In addition, single-threaded applications cannot take advantage of multiprocessor machines.
However, multithreading can be difficult to implement effectively. Multithreading improves performance in many cases, but it also has drawbacks if the default mechanisms for cooperation between threads are used simplistically. In this chapter, we look at the benefits and the disadvantages threads offer to performance. We examine the likely problems that may be encountered and discuss how to minimize the performance downside while still gaining the benefits of multiple threads.
Synchronization can be confusing, so I felt it was worth including a short reminder of its subtleties here.
Two or more threads accessing and updating the same data variables have no way of knowing when a particular accessor update will occur relative to any other thread accesses. Synchronization ensures that a group of statements (a synchronized block) will execute atomically as far as all synchronized threads are concerned. Synchronization does not address the problem of which thread executes the statements first: it is first come, first served.
Synchronization is achieved using monitors. Every object can have a monitor associated with it, so any object can synchronize blocks. Before a synchronized block can be entered, a thread needs to gain ownership of the monitor for that block. Once the thread has gained ownership of the monitor, no other thread synchronized on the same monitor can gain entry to that block (or any other block or method synchronized on the same monitor). The thread owning the monitor gets to execute all the statements in the block, and then automatically releases ownership of the monitor on exiting the block. At that point, another thread waiting to enter the block can acquire ownership of the monitor.
Note, however, that threads synchronized on different monitors can gain entry to the same block at any time. For example, a block defined with a synchronized(this) expression is synchronized on the monitor of the this object. If this is an object that is different for two different threads, both threads can gain ownership of their own monitor for that block, and both can execute the block at the same time. This won't matter if the block affects only variables specific to its thread (such as instance variables of this), but can lead to corrupt states if the block alters variables that are shared between the threads, such as static variables.
Multithreading needs more care in coding than single threading. When tuning threads, it is easy to make a little change here, and a little change there, and end up with total confusion, race conditions, and deadlock. Before you start tuning threads, it is important to have a good understanding of how they interact and how to make them cooperate and control each other. This book is not a tutorial on threads, so I don't intend to cover the subject from a non-performance-tuning standpoint in any great detail. Two excellent books on Java threads are Java Threads by Scott Oaks and Henry Wong (O'Reilly) and Concurrent Programming in Java by Doug Lea (Addison Wesley).
If you are not comfortable with Java synchronization and how it works, I strongly advise you to spend some time studying how to use threads and synchronization. Be sure you understand how race conditions and deadlocks occur (many articles and books on Java go into this in detail, and there are brief examples in the later sections of this chapter). Be sure you know how to correctly use the various wait( ) and notify( ) methods in the Object class as well as the synchronized keyword, and understand which monitor objects are used and how they are used when execution reaches a synchronized block or method.

The End of Privacy Began in the 1960s
tags: Congress, facebook, FBI, privacy, Lyndon Johnson, J Edgar Hoover
by Margaret O'Mara
Margaret O'Mara, a professor of history at the University of Washington, is the author of a forthcoming book, "The Code: Silicon Valley and the Remaking of America."
In the fall of 1965, President Lyndon Johnson's administration announced a plan to consolidate hundreds of federal databases into one centralized National Data Bank. It was meant as an efficiency move to make the Great Society even greater.
But there were many Americans who were worried about privacy — from civil rights leaders and student activists under surveillance by the F.B.I. to lawmakers who had begun to question J. Edgar Hoover's use of his electronic arsenal — and the National Data Bank confirmed their darkest fears. In the years that followed, Congress convened headline-making hearings, slamming the databank idea and warning of government information-gathering run amok.
The privacy warriors of the 1960s would have been astounded by what the tech industry has become. They would be more amazed to realize that the policy choices they made back then — to demand data transparency rather than limit data collection, and to legislate the behavior of government but not private industry — enabled today's tech giants to become as large and powerful as they are.
The House Judiciary Committee is scheduled to question Sundar Pichai, the chief executive of Google, over allegations of bias in its algorithms, and energized Democrats are vowing to turn up the heat on tech companies over antitrust and privacy when they take over House leadership in January. There is a growing recognition in Silicon Valley and Washington that current data privacy regulations need to be changed. Understanding how American lawmakers approached these issues in the past is essential to getting it right this time.
The mid-1960s were the heyday of punch-card-powered mainframe computers. In the two decades since their invention, digital machines had proved capable of processing a dizzying amount of information. Much of this data was personal, from medical information to military records to the type of cereal families bought at the supermarket, and there were no legal limits on what kind of data could be collected or by whom. The targeted marketing business until then had been largely left alone by regulators because it was so inexact. The computer age, however, transformed consumer targeting into a far more powerful science. ...

French Truck Coffee will open a Mid-City shop as part of the new apartment complex taking shape behind the Rouses on North Carrollton Avenue.
Geoffrey Meeker, owner and founder of French Truck Coffee, said the new location will front the Lafitte Greenway and have patio seating and large glass garage doors that can be opened on nice days. The opening will likely fall sometime in early 2020.
Meeker said the local coffee shop had Mid-City on its radar when developers approached them two years ago. They offered to build the space specific to French Truck's needs and aesthetic, he said.
French Truck Coffee is the sole retail tenant planned for the $65 million apartment complex by Ohio-based developer Edwards Communities. Once finished, the complex will have three four-story buildings behind the Mid-City Rouses between the Lafitte Greenway and Conti Street. Crews are currently finishing up construction on the first phase of the project, which will have 240 apartments in two buildings, a four-story parking garage, interior courtyards and a pool. That phase is expected to open in March.
The new French Truck will be part of the project's second phase at the corner of North Scott Street and the Lafitte Greenway, directly behind Rouses. A building with 142 apartments and a four-story parking garage are also planned for phase two. The developer aims to break ground in February, with a 14-month construction window, said Hope Sherman, vice president of land acquisition and development for Edwards Communities.
The Mid-City plans join a growing list of expansions for French Truck Coffee. The company recently took over the old CC's at 2917 Magazine St., long a popular Garden District gathering spot.
The build out for a Central Business District location at 650 Poydras St. is also moving along. Meeker said crews essentially "blasted a big hole in the side of the building" to make way for a more accessible front entrance and outdoor seating. The Poydras Street location will also have two floors.
In addition, Meeker said the brand is ramping up roasted coffee sales at Whole Foods Market, adding 10 stores in Houston in coming weeks.
Sherman with Edwards Communities said the first units of the yet-to-be-named apartment complex will open sometime after Mardi Gras. She said details on pricing were still being finalized.
Construction on the complex is current set to be complete in June 2020.

Censorship-fighters from Wis., Pa., recognized with 'Courage in Student Journalism' award
Student newspaper editors from Wisconsin and Pennsylvania who waged nationally publicized battles against school retaliation for journalism addressing issues of social concern are the winners of the 2014 Courage in Student Journalism Award.
Tanvi Kumar, former editor-in-chief of Cardinal Columns at Wisconsin's Fond du Lac High School and co-editors Gillian McGoldrick and Reed Hennessy of The Playwickian at Pennsylvania's Neshaminy High School will share the Courage award, presented annually to recognize students who show exceptional fortitude in overcoming adversity to bring important stories to the public.
The award was presented Saturday at the awards ceremony at the National High School Journalism Convention in Washington, D.C., before an audience of more than 2,000 students and teachers from around the country.
Kumar and her staff were punished after publishing an in-depth news article, "The Rape Joke," that included interviews with survivors of sexual assault talking about the impact of insensitive humor about rape. After their newspaper was placed under a regime of heavy administrative censorship in retaliation for the article, the student body and members of the community protested so vehemently that the retaliatory publications policy was repealed.
McGoldrick and Hennessy led their staff in voting to withhold the school mascot name "Redskins" from the student newspaper, believing it to be a racial slur – a position later adopted by their professional community newspaper as well. In retaliation, the school board imposed an unlawful policy rescinding all of the staff's free-speech rights in student publications and on social media. After the students resisted their principal's edict to print, unedited, a letter-to-the-editor containing the mascot name, their adviser was suspended, McGoldrick was temporarily removed as editor, and the newspaper was "fined" $1,200. (The fine was replaced more than fivefold by an online crowdfunding campaign mounted by supportive high school journalists in California.)
The Courage award is sponsored by the Student Press Law Center, the National Scholastic Press Association and the Center for Scholastic Journalism at Kent State University, which provides funding for each winner to receive a $1,000 cash prize.
"Student journalists are increasingly taking a role of national leadership in raising and advancing the discussion of issues of social concern. These students' outstanding work exemplifies the power of candid student journalism to make positive change," said SPLC Executive Director Frank D. LoMonte. "To borrow a phrase from programmers, the fact that these students' work makes authority figures uncomfortable is 'not a bug – it's a feature.' We should value and nurture journalism that bravely challenges accepted majority views and speaks for the voiceless. That's what Tanvi, Gillian and Reed did so eloquently, and that's why they so richly deserve this recognition."
LoMonte said the honor recognizes the entire journalism staffs at Fond du Lac and Neshaminy, especially faculty advisers Matthew Smith of Fond du Lac and Tara Huber of Neshaminy, who stood behind their students at great personal risk.
"The fact that a 17-year-old was just named a winner of the Nobel Peace Prize should remind us all of the tremendous impact that young people can have on the world they live in," said Mark Goodman, Knight Chair in Scholastic Journalism at Kent State University's School of Journalism and Mass Communication. "It is a great honor for the Center for Scholastic Journalism to be the financial sponsor of this award recognizing such courageous and exemplary student journalists."
Since 1974, the Student Press Law Center has been devoted to educating high school and college journalists about the rights and responsibilities embodied in the First Amendment, and supporting the student news media in covering important issues free from censorship. The Center provides free information and educational materials for student journalists and their teachers on a wide variety of legal topics on its website at www.splc.org.

Q: Enable 64 bit VMs on Virtual box after recent Win10 home update I recently tried to boot up an old virtual machine in VirtualBox running Ubuntu 16.04, but was not able to run it. I tried making a fresh VM and realised that virtualbox was no longer offering 64 bit machines, which is what my disk image is.
I have tried the following:
Check that Intel Virtualization technology is enabled in bios
Check that Hyper-V isn't interfering with it according to this guide
As I couldn't find Hyper-V listed I tried this workaround, but failed to find an update that my system would install. Some more research led me to realize that Hyper-V is not available on Win10 home. As such Hyper-V shouldn't be the problem?
From here on I'm kind of stumped. Vbox used to work on this very machine maybe a year back, but at some point since then something seems to have broken it. I have do not have any other virtualization software installed which, together with some hints I found while googling, leads me to believe that the problem is with some Windows update.
Thank you for your help!

When she disregards her brother's advice and ventures into the great outdoors, an indoor cat must summon the courage and cunning to defeat The Catfather, a feline who rules the neighborhood with an iron paw.
Action, Adventure, Animation, Comedy, Family
copyright 2021 Registered WGA #1710471
Indoor cats MAX and SHILOH share a house with 98 other kittens awaiting (they think) adoption. But Shiloh yearns for adventure in the great outdoors. But when she escapes and is taken in by a nice family, she finds herself at the mercy of MOOSE, aka The Catfather, a feline with a past as dark as his taste in food. At best a reluctant hero even on a good day, Max enlists the help of LISPY, a rat with intentions about as good as you'd expect from a rat, and slips out of the house, determined to find his sister.
Things quickly go south when Max can't keep up with Lispy and spends a spooky night in a city park. A midnight encounter with a coyotes ends with the appearance of TOBIN, a skunk with odor control issues. After spending the night in his skunk bunk, Max is ready to continue his sister search, one which will take cat and skunk through a series of increasingly harrowing and revealing adventures, culminating in the discovery of Moose's big secret.
In the meantime, Shiloh and Lispy become unlikely allies in an attempt to break free of Moose's physical and metaphorical clutches. Along the way, Shiloh get a glimpse into Moose's past. This includes the shocking revelation that he, along with brother RASCAL, engaged in a battle for the affections of Shiloh's and Max's mother, one which end with a tragic, accidental poisoning which tore a hole in Moose's soul. This led him down the dark path from which he emerged as The Catfather, a cat who has taken upon himself to decide which neighborhood animals live... and which don't.
Worlds and cats collide in Act III when Moose's estranged brother RASCAL informs Max that he must decide between saving the city's strays or his sister from Moose's diabolical scheme. Max, Tobin, and an assortment of four-legged allies must dig deep to pull off the most harrowing jailbreak since the classic film Chicken Run. Strap on your flying squirrel-inspired wing suit, prepare for a blast of skunk gas, sit back and enjoy a ride so wild it makes Mr. Toad's seem tame by comparison.

Hi there. After writing a couple dozen spec scripts since my college years, in the early 2000s I decided that if I ever wanted to see one turned into a feature film, I would likely need to make it myself. So I did. Then I did it again, then again. Three features in about 8-9 years. Are they the greatest movies ever? No. Did I learn a lot about filmmaking and screenwriting? Yes. Would I do it again? Probably. I always work on keeping 2-3 scripts going at the same time, be they screenplays or TV pilots. I've found the Film Courage YouTube channel very helpful. I enjoy reading others' script and providing honest, constructive criticism. I look forward to connecting with fellow screenwriters... Go to bio

Finpro managed Cleantech Finland (Beautiful Beijing) will collect companies' materials, and The Beijing 2022 OCOG will select one Finnish architect company to be recommended to the Hebei Provincial Olympic Committee. The local authorities from Hebei Province will invite the company to participate the plan modification event. The final plan should include the master plan, games organising plan, and post games legacy and utility sustainable operation suggestions for the venues.
To showcase Finnish sustainable winter sports knowhow in China, Finpro is organizing Winter Sports Week in Beijing on 10-16 January 2017. Read more about the week of Finnish sustainable winter sports knowhow here.


Architects for Health are continuing the student design by jointly hosting a Health Design Charette Week with The Medical Architecture Research Unit (MARU), London South Bank University (LSBU) and the Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust.
Students are not required to demonstrate prior healthcare experience in their application or examples. The selection panel will be judging the applications on the strength of a wider architectural skill, brief engagement and enthusiasm for the topic.
The primary product of the charette week is expected to be a physical model, so demonstration of modelling ability is likely to be beneficial to an application.
20 Students will be selected from applicants internationally to attend the course which will be held at the London South University from the 24th to the 27th of January 2012.
Who: As with the annual competition, any student of any level can apply. The final attendees will be selected on the merit of their CV and application and notified before Christmas 2011.
The Programme for the short course will balance morning lectures or site visits with afternoon tutored and free studio periods. The week will culminate with presentations and crit sessions and a celebration drinks evening. Tutors will be selected from high profile health care design practitioners, experienced architectural tutors from London universities including LSBU and clinicians.
The Topic of study will be centred around designing for Paediatric Care in an urban context in order to explore the pressure on achieving a therapeutic environment while knitting into the pressures of dense city space.
The organisers will contribute to travel and accommodation for students to attend the course which will seek to draw on the success of the competition in previous years and encourage the students to engage in the city and socialise as a group.
Numbers: 20 Students, split into teams of 4 assembled by AfH, ie not teams that have applied together.


On February 28th 2013, the Polish Journalist Dariusz Bartoszewicz published an article in the Warsaw issue of Gazeta Wyborcza.
The article is a follow-up on a previous article about the public debate concerning the vision for Marszalkowska Street crossing with most important historical axis in Warsaw. In the article, Piotr Szczesniak is interviewed by the journalist and he shares his vision and plans for the area, which has also been part of Bygg's proposal 'Moderna OdNova'.
Bygg has shared schemes and impressions of plans to connect Pilsudski Square and Saxon Garden with Hale Mirowskie by introducing a pedestrian bridge and a winding bike bridge over Marszalkowska Street, reconnecting the Saxon Axis at the very location of the original 'Iron Gate'. The pedestrian bridge and bike bridge cross each other in the green 'isle in the middle of the road'. New functions can be proposed on the 'isle' to revive this piece of waste land.

Daniel Horner Joins Team Sig Sauer
Dave Merrill
Sig Sauer announced today that Daniel Horner has joined its professional shooting team– Team SIG. Horner recently separated from the U.S. Army, where he had been part of the Army Marksmanship Unit as a member of the Action Shooting Team. Horner's 12-year stint in the USAMU serves as a solid foundation to continue to compete at the highest level as a member of Team SIG.
In a press release, Sig Sauer said:
Legendary U.S. Army Marksmanship Unit Shooter Daniel Horner Joins Team SIG
NEWINGTON, N.H., (October 9, 2018) – SIG SAUER Inc., is pleased to announce multi-discipline World Champion Shooter Daniel Horner has officially joined the SIG SAUER Professional Shooting Team – Team SIG. Horner recently left the service of the U.S. Army where he rose to the rank of Sergeant First Class. He was recruited into the Army to join the U.S. Army Marksmanship Unit (USAMU) where he became one of the most decorated shooters in team history, and served as the Coach of the USAMU Action Shooting Team.
"I started shooting at six years old when I would go to the range with my Dad. When I was twelve years old I shot my first IDPA match, at sixteen I won my first IDPA national title, and at eighteen I enlisted in the U.S. Army to join the AMU," began Horner. "For basically my entire life I have been shooting competitively, and for as long as I can remember it's been a lifelong goal of mine to shoot professionally. To have this opportunity to represent industry leader SIG SAUER and join Team SIG is really a dream come true and I can't wait to start working with the company and competing."
Horner is a 3-gun shooter and will compete primarily in multi-gun matches, and long-range rifle competition as a member of Team SIG. In competition Horner will use a P320 X-Five full-size pistol with iron sights, an M400 SDI Comp rifle with a TANGO6 1-6x24mm second focal plane riflescope, and a KILO2400ABS. Horner will also use a variety of SIG SAUER Ammunition during competition including: 9mm Match Elite Competition, 223 REM Elite Match Grade, and 223 REM Varmint and Predator.
"We are thrilled to bring Daniel to Team SIG to join forces with Max and Lena as they compete for SIG SAUER. His record as a 3-gun shooter is truly remarkable and is a direct result of his hard work and dedication to the sport," said Tom Taylor, Chief Marketing Officer and Executive Vice President, Commercial Sales. "Daniel is also a man of exceptional character and will be an outstanding ambassador for the SIG SAUER brand and role model for the next generation of professional shooters."
Horner's first competition on behalf of Team SIG will be the SIG SAUER Fort Benning Multi-Gun Challenge at Krilling Ranges Thursday, November 15th – Sunday, November 18th in Fort Benning, Georgia.
"I am excited about Daniel joining Lena and I on Team SIG and we welcome him to the team," added Team SIG Captain Max Michel. "I worked with Daniel for several years at the AMU and I got to see first-hand exactly what makes him a championship shooter. He works hard, he's focused, and he does whatever it takes to accomplish his goals. Daniel is going to bring a lot of wins to Team SIG and he will be a great teammate as we represent the SIG brand together. I look forward to watching his future on the professional shooting circuit unfold."

KATHMANDU, Dec14: More than 70 films from 37 countries will be screened at the 15th edition of Kathmandu International Mountain Film Festival (KIMFF) from December 14-18 at QFX Kumari Cinemas, Kamalpokhari. Organized by Himal Association and promoted by Nepal Tourism Board, KIMFF will feature 15 films in international competition and 48 films in the non-competitive section.
The festival will showcase documentaries, fiction, shorts, experimental films and animation. It will also feature films on adventure sports, mountaineering, lost cultures, migration, ancient lifestyles, burning social, environmental and conservation issues that affect highland communities worldwide.
This year, the jury members for the festival include– Joanna Croston from Banff Mountain Film Festival Canada, filmmaker Kesang Tseten from Nepal, and filmmaker/editor Reena Mohan from India. Reena will also make a presentation focusing on the specifics of editing documentary films.
To know more on the work front, My City's Sonam Lama talked to the Nepali short-film makers participating at KIMFF.
'Jaalgedi' is the story of an 11-year-old girl from Mugu who has to go through a problematic consequence after she fails to perform her daily chores and responsibilities. The story revolves around how the definition of happiness is not absolute and permanent and how fulfilling one's responsibility is crucial.
What drew you to directing short films?
My fascination to film making got stronger while working in theater for many years. I worked under the assistance of Min Bahadur Bham and as a production manager in the making of 'Kalo Pothi', which also inspired me to continue my journey in filmmaking.
What challenges did you come across in course of directing 'Jaalgedi'?
Being filmed in Mugu, geographical barriers were always there. However, being a learner myself I had to struggle in the technical grounds of film making. However, I am glad that everything went according to plan.
What are your expectations with your film being screened?
I am grateful that my film is going to get screened at KIMFF. I have yet to grow in many respects as a filmmaker. I am excited and hope to grow better by watching movies at KIMFF.
Tell us in brief about your short film 'Kokh'.
'Kokh' evokes the reflection of women empowerment and their capacity to take stand in our patriarchal society. It's all about the choice that an individual can make or take. It is a question about motherhood and being loved.
I prefer short-film format in order to share personal stories and reach large public with dense story structure and less financial burden. Since there is a huge liberty of expression and innovating narrative chances in this format, I find myself experimenting more in short filmmaking.
What challenges did you come across in course of directing 'Kokh'?
I think challenges are the first factor that motivates an artist to perform one's best. Especially in audio-visual or in cinema, financial aspect raises many questions on whether the investment is worthy or not or how to convince a potential producer to get in your project. In 'Kokh' I have applied my experience to get things working in my way.
My two short films 'Malaamee' and 'Chhora' were screened the previous year, and I am preparing to present another one this year. This time I am coming with 'Kokh' in Nepali panorama, and I am looking forward to enjoying the festival celebrated with films from across the world.
Tell us in brief about your short film 'I Can'.
The film 'I Can' is about Ramesh Khatri who is a resemblance of courage, passion, and resilience, whose life changed after the April, 2015 earthquakes. 'I Can' is an inspiration for anyone going through tough times under dire situations. Knowing that there is hope, this film depicts the idea that everything is possible if you are able to maintain a positive outlook toward life even in difficult situations.
Sharing stories through visual medium becomes much stronger with sound effects. Additionally, I am the student of Gender Studies and during my studies I came across other realities of our society. I felt the need to tell those stories and aware people about them. Both my study and profession inspired me to tell the stories through visual forms.
What challenges did you come across in course of directing 'I Can'?
Challenges are essential to keep you going. My films are low-budget ones, that's why I have a small team. I often witnessed that during the process of filming, my characters were always mislead or discouraged by the people living around them, which discouraged me as well. Nevertheless, I will be more than happy if I could make money and support my characters in any way possible.
I am already excited that it got selected in the KIMFF. I couldn't believe when I received their email, but I am hopeful that this is just the beginning. This is my first step toward the long journey of telling stories through films.
Tell us in brief about your short film 'Tea Girls'.
This film is about five tea selling girls in Basantapur and how they see life. It is also about their joy, their hardships and their innocence. It is about how they got into this business and how they deal with the real world at such a young age.
I've been fascinated by movies since my school days. The idea of telling a story in a powerful manner got me into making short films.
What challenges did you come across in course of directing 'Tea Girls'?
It took me quite some time to make the film. I felt guilty having to interrupt the tea sellers in their business hour, talking to them was difficult at first. They were always in a hurry looking for customers and their mothers had an eye on them. The first few days, I could not focus on them as they were not still at all. Later, we got along well and thus this film came into effect.
This is my first experience at KIMFF and I am waiting for my film to get screened. I hope I have been able to portray these tea girls with a larger perspective. As it is my first experience at KIMFF, I am hoping to get feedback from diverse viewers who would be making it to the film festival.

It seems like the ultimate betrayal, and it may well be. When you discover your spouse has had an affair, it's devastating. You feel shock and disbelief. Anger. Grief. This is the kind of deep hurt that can take several years to recover from, let alone forgive. Some people don't ever manage it.
But many do move on and learn to forgive and rebuild the relationship. And most of them go through phases before they can be healed.
Phase One: Chaos. Everything you depended on in your world seems to be exploding. Since you found out your partner is having an affair, your confidence is shaken to the core. You can't believe this is happening to you. Your head is swimming with the terrible betrayal of it all.
You want to take the children and go to your mother's. Or you want to kick your partner out of the house. Or you want a revenge affair yourself. You put the most notorious divorce lawyer on speed dial.
But don't do anything drastic yet. You need time to get used to the idea. Your partner, of course, has known all along about her infidelity so you two will not be on the same page. She is farther along in the process and may beg you to take her back, but you aren't ready yet.
You need time to process, too. This is hard to do if you're used to talking about your problems with the very person who has now caused your problems. You will probably feel upset and lonely. Now is not the time to make any major decisions.
Phase Two: Grief. Once it hits you that the life you have been living is over as you knew it, you will feel all sorts of emotions. One of them is grief, as if you are grieving a death. Which you are—the death of the dreams and hopes you had about your relationship. Things can never be the same.
If you are to have a future together, you must first mourn your past. This takes time and the straying partner must have seemingly infinite patience if she wants to get back together. The aggrieved partner needs patience, too—to let the grief process proceed through its course. There are no shortcuts. You have to let go of your old vision of your relationship before you can even begin to think about forging a new future.
Phase Three: Deconstruction. This phase takes place when you have moved past the initial anger and confusion and are able to look at your situation calmly and rationally. You can begin to deconstruct what happened and why. You may still not be ready to reconcile, let alone forgive, but you can understand the reasons your partner strayed.
Phase Four: Healing. Once you've understood what happened in your relationship you may see a change in how you feel. Perhaps there was a dynamic that contributed to the affair. Perhaps there is some responsibility for the infidelity with both parties. Perhaps your partner isn't wholly evil and you are not wholly angelic.
If you can let go of the hurts of the past, you can move on. You can decide whether it's feasible or even desirable to stay together. Certainly professional counseling will be helpful. Once you've gone through all the phases you can heal. Then you can create a new future together.
