Emmanuel Fouyet, né le  et mort le  à Brest, est un homme politique français. Il fut chef de la Résistance française dans le Finistère. De ce fait, il devient Député français du Finistère dès 1945, avec la mission de reconstruire la France d'après-guerre. Il est réélu en 1946 et en 1951.

Biographie

Membre de la première et de la seconde Assemblée nationale constituante (Finistère). Député du Finistère de 1946 à 1955

Fils d'un mécanicien de la Société brestoise, d'abord apprenti chaudronnier à l'Arsenal de Brest, Emmanuel Fouyet travaille aux chemins de fer. Engagé dans la marine pour la durée de la guerre, il retrouve la vie civile en 1921. Opérateur à la station de Brest-Déolen de la Compagnie française des câbles télégraphiques, il milite au sein du syndicat CFTC et exercera à partir de 1928, les fonctions de secrétaire de l'union locale de cette confédération jusqu'en 1945. En 1934, à la suite d'une grève, il perd son emploi et devient comptable à « l'Alliance des travailleurs » - coopérative dont il était auparavant le trésorier - et président du syndicat des employés du commerce et de l'industrie de Brest.

Pendant l'Occupation Emmanuel Fouyet participe à la Résistance, il milite dans un groupe de syndicalistes chrétiens spécialement chargé de la presse clandestine et à la libération, il fut membre du comité de libération du Grand-Brest .Membre du Comité de libération de Brest, il est élu conseiller municipal, puis adjoint au maire à partir de 1953 et conseiller général du premier canton de Brest jusqu'en 1951.

Sportif, il présida jusqu'en 1952 aux destinées de la Milice Saint-Michel et fut, jusqu'à cette même date, vice-président du Stade Brestois.

Aux élections du  pour la première Assemblée nationale constituante, Emmanuel Fouyet figure en quatrième position sur la liste présentée par le MRP dans le Finistère. Avec 34,6 % des suffrages exprimés les démocrates-chrétiens arrivent largement en tête et obtiennent quatre des neuf sièges à pourvoir. Il en ira de même le 2 juin 1946 pour les élections à la seconde Assemblée nationale constituante auxquelles le MRP recueille plus de 42 % des voix et gagne un siège.

Durant les deux Assemblées nationales Constituantes, Emmanuel Fouyet, élu d'une ville sinistrée, est membre de la Commission de la reconstruction et des dommages de guerre. Son activité parlementaire demeure modeste. Avec son groupe il vote les nationalisations et s'oppose au premier projet de Constitution de la  République () qui sera rejeté par le référendum du 5 mai 1946. Toujours avec son groupe il approuve le second projet de Constitution (27 octobre 1946).

Aux élections du 10 novembre 1946 pour la première législature de la  République, le MRP enregistre une nouvelle progression dans le Finistère (45,3% des suffrages exprimés) et conserve ses cinq sièges.

À l'Assemblée nationale, le député du Finistère retrouve la Commission de la reconstruction et des dommages de guerre et participe aux travaux de celle de la marine marchande et des pêches jusqu'à la fin de 1948. Il est par ailleurs nommé juré à la Haute cour de justice. Pendant cette législature, Emmanuel Fouyet dépose une proposition de loi relative aux commis et agents techniques de la marine et intervient en séance à deux reprises. La première fois il réclame des crédits pour Brest (7 août 1947). La seconde, il prend part à la discussion d'interpellations sur des violences survenues à Brest le 17 avril 1950 et dont il rend responsable le Parti communiste (27 avril 1950).

Avec son groupe il approuve le statut de l'Algérie (27 août 1947) et la loi électorale instituant le scrutin de liste majoritaire avec apparentements pour les élections législatives (7 mai 1951).

Dans ses engagements électoraux pour les élections législatives du 17 juin 1951, le MRP du Finistère regrette précisément que le RPF ait refusé de conclure un apparentement permettant de « barrer la route aux communistes : le RPF n'a pas voulu l'union ». Le ton monte entre les deux formations. Le MRP rappelle que « les communistes ont été appelés au Gouvernement en 1945 par d'autres que nous, mais en sont partis deux ans plus tard grâce à nous » et que « les subventions à l'enseignement privé ont été supprimées le 17 avril 1945, alors que René Capitant était ministre de l'Éducation nationale ». Cependant au soir du 17 juin 1951, le RPF devance le MRP (27,8 % contre 25,2 % des suffrages exprimés). Chacune de ces deux listes obtient trois sièges, le Parti communiste en perd un et le MRP deux. Figurant en troisième position sur la liste démocrate-chrétienne, Emmanuel Fouyet retrouve néanmoins le chemin du Palais Bourbon.

Jusqu'à la fin de 1953 il est membre des Commissions de la reconstruction et des dommages de guerre et du travail et de la Sécurité sociale puis participe aux travaux de celles de la marine marchande et des pêches et des moyens de communication et du tourisme jusqu'à la fin de la législature.

Le député du Finistère dépose diverses propositions de loi et rapports, sur des questions sociales et intervient en séance le 5 novembre 1952 à propos des allocations de chômage. Il approuve naturellement les lois Marie et Barangé, en faveur de l'enseignement privé (21 septembre 1951) et la constitution de la Communauté européenne du charbon et de l'acier CECA (13 décembre 1951) et vote contre la question préalable opposée au projet à la discussion du projet de Communauté européenne de défense - CED - (31 août 1951). Emmanuel Fouyet manifeste sa liberté d'appréciation par rapport à la majorité de son groupe. Ainsi le 27 octobre 1953 vote-t-il contre l'ordre du jour favorable au Gouvernement Laniel à propos de l'Indochine et récidive-t-il le 9 mars 1954 en se prononçant pour le cessez-le-feu. Cependant lors des grands scrutins il demeura fidèle à son parti : il soutient le cabinet Laniel lors de sa chute (12 juin 1954), s'abstient sur l'investiture de Pierre Mendés France (17 juin 1954) et sur les Accords de Genève qui mettent fin aux hostilités en Indochine (23 juillet 1954) et contribue à sa démission (4 février 1955). Il apporte ensuite son concours au gouvernement Edgar Faure dont la chute le 29 novembre 1955, sur le mode de scrutin et la date des élections législatives, entraîne la dissolution de l'Assemblée nationale.

Aux élections du 2 janvier 1956, le MRP maintient ses positions dans le Finistère (24,9 % des suffrages exprimés) et conserve ses trois élus mais Emmanuel Fouyet ne figure pas parmi eux car il avait été rétrogradé de la troisième à la quatrième place sur la liste démocrate-chrétienne. Néanmoins, il devient membre honoraire du parlement grâce à son quatrième mandat.

National Underground
It's not perfect…it's live.
Tag Archives: No Idea records
From the bottom of my heart, thank you…
By Mackenzie
I went to my first punk show at 14, back in 1992 and was hooked for life. I was amazed that people didn't know about these bands and wanted to share. I booked shows, made a couple of zines and did whatever I could locally. I went off to college for recording with the full intent of making this my career.
Real life happened and I found myself a decade later, a father of three with a desk job. My very good friend Shannon Koffman and I had been kicking around plans for a few years and decided it was now or never. In 2005, we bought three HD cameras, built a live recording rig and started recording shows. National Underground was born.
I enlisted the help of some friends and we started recording shows around Orlando. We answered the call to help No Idea Records record The FEST 4 in Gainesville. By the end of that weekend, we were three months out and had recorded Against Me! and The Bouncing Souls as well as another two dozen bands.
We were trying to turn these into CD/DVD releases, but by the time we got everything lined up with mixes, artwork and contracts, the recording industry was taking a major hit. We didn't want to compete with the very bands and labels we were trying to help promote. No matter how low our prices were or how short our runs would have been, it made no sense. Plus, who really likes or ever buys live records?
We decided to just start putting it out online for free…and people really got into it. From 2007-2010, National Underground was this living, breathing thing. We had tons of traffic, volunteers who wanted to mix, edit, do pr, interviews and write content for the site, developers of other content wanting to team up and labels contacting us. We have so much to show for it. It was the best.
Shannon and I were still shelling out money for tapes, hard drives, hotel rooms, pizza, beer and such. We sold a couple dozen supporter packs, did fund raisers for expenses here and there and I still have a check from Fat Records I can't bring myself to cash. Other than that and a quick tour with Less Than Jake, National Underground didn't make any money or pay any of our crew. Every single person who worked for National Underground volunteered. I'm simultaneously humbled by and overwhelmed with gratitude for that.
Some made National Underground a stepping stone into the industry. I'm really proud of the part it played in their careers. I even got offers to do all sorts of things from shooting at SXSW and CMJ to music videos and tour managing but alas, I couldn't risk it with so many mouths to feed.
So, here we are, years later. We recorded straight through until The FEST 10, both HOH Fests, picked up shows like Paint It Black in a parking lot, HWM's reunion, Dead To Me's new lineup house show and countless warehouse shows. Truth be told, I don't know how much we've recorded. I think somewhere around 600 shows and we have video for about 450 of them. Many of them are repeats, but why wouldn't you record Dillinger Four for the fifth time?
I've been fighting this battle with the post production the entire time. I've had people give me a hard time about our turn around time since the beginning. I may have laughed, but I was super hard on myself about it. It's not easy to mix, edit, output and post any of what we record. That's not even getting into approvals by management, labels and such. It's a process. Then you take into account that everybody has an HD camera in their pocket. iPhone footage is up on YouTube before we've can even strike our equipment. Nobody cares that our audio is mixed or we have multiple camera angles that are lit correctly. There's no value in what we do anymore.
National Underground has been a long, expensive, trying, yet amazingly rewarding chapter in my life that I feel I need to put to bed. I have that same job and I'm up to four kids to focus on. I just can't give National Underground the attention I think it deserves.
We've given the recordings to HOH, The FEST and No Idea Records. Hopefully this way more of it will get to see the light of day. I can only be sure that it has no chance if I sit on it and do nothing.
We're going to keep the site up and might post stuff we feel like sharing. We shall see.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you to every single person, visitor to our site, crew member, band, manager, venue, label, support staff, security guard and yes, even cop who helped in any and every way, even by just giving us any attention at all. It's been beyond rad.

Bridge and Tunnel Fest 9 Hardcore Set
Just before The FEST 9 (2010) in Gainesville, FL, NYC's Bridge and Tunnel suffered a setback that would cause most bands to cancel. Guitarist Rachel Rubino broke her wrist in a bicycle accident meaning she would not be able to play. The band opted instead to play a cover set of hardcore songs as a three piece with Rubino on vocals. Arguably the most talked about set that year, these recordings were pressed to vinyl for a limited 7″ insert in the band's 2011 LP, Rebuilding Year on No Idea Records.
Watch all four songs here.

Bands You Need To Know- Shores
Shore's first release, Coup de Grace, came out last year on No Idea Records. Compared to other records that are released by the label, there was little fanfare and/or attention. Which is a shame because the album is so stunningly good. The album is quiet, loud and moving in all the right places. The music is a perfect soundtrack for that reoccurring dream where you are laying down on a glacier and just slowly drifting along the Northern Atlantic.

The Loft est un groupe de rock indépendant britannique. Il est principalement actif entre 1980 et 1985. Après sa séparation, le groupe joue occasionnellement, comme en 2006.

Biographie
The Loft, d'abord nommé The Living Room, se fait connaître en étant l'un des premiers groupes du label d'Alan McGee, Creation Records. Le groupe est composé de Peter Astor, Dave Morgan, Bill Prince et Andy Strickland. Après leur signature chez Creation Records, leur premier single, Why Does the Rain?, est publié en 1984. Par son style musical, The Loft annonce déjà la vague pop et noisy-pop de 1986 popularisée par la compilation C86, publiée par le New Musical Express.

Up the Hill and Down the Slope est édité l'année suivante, en 1985, et remporte un franc succès. Une tournée nationale en ouverture pour The Colourfield s'effectue, mais des tensions entre le groupe mènent à une séparation après un tout dernier concert au Hammersmith Palais. Plus précisément, le groupe s'arrête à cause de dissensions entre Astor et Morgan, d'un côté et Prince et Strickland, de l'autre. Après leur départ, Pete Astor et Dave Morgan fondent The Weather Prophets.

En 2006, le groupe se réunit, joue quelques concerts, et publie un single (Model Village) chez Static Caravan Recordings. Le groupe continue de jouer occasionnellement. En 2015, pour célébrer le succès de Up the Hill and Down the Slope après 30 ans, le groupe joue à New York en mai (en tête d'affiche du NY Popfest de Brooklyn) et à Londres en juin avant leur troisième session à la BBC Radio (BBC 6 Music).

Q: Query nested object in Firestore REST API I'm stuck with querying Firestore REST API. I can figure out how to filter by a regular key but I can't figure out how to query by nested object key.
Basically, in the browser client, I can do
firestore.collection("channels")
   .where("members.[memberID]", "==", true)
   .get()

However, when I try to do the same in the REST API, it said Invalid Argument. I was trying to do
{
 "structuredQuery": {
  "where": {
   "fieldFilter": {
    "field": {
     "fieldPath": "members.[memberID]"
    },
    "op": "EQUAL",
    "value": {
       booleanValue: "true"
    }
   }
  },
  "from": [
   {
    "collectionId": "channels"
   }
  ]
 }
}

but it gives me "Invalid Argument" error on fieldPath. Does anybody know how to query Firestore REST API based on nested object?
Thank you!

A: I asked for Firebase support and they said special characters in fieldPath such as "-" in my case can be escaped using back tick or back slash. It is mentioned in the documentation. In my case, I'll need to do
members.`[memberID]`

I hope this is helpful for you guys.

Are We Losing the Battle for Female Golfers?
This is the question Jim Koppenhaver, President and founder of Pellucid Corp asked at his annual conference at the January 2007 PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando last month. (For those who don't know Jim, he is a "tell-it-like-it-is" advisor and consultant in the golf industry with a prior background in consumer marketing. www.pellucidcorp.com)
Indeed, over the last few years, the total number of women golfers has been flat – stubbornly stuck around six million and representing about 24% of the total number of adult golfers. Jim's presentations are always constructive and his question is a good one. But, I do have problems with his battle metaphor
For starters, I do not believe that the golf industry views growing women's golf as a "battle". A battle suggests an overall plan with goals, strategy and a real commitment of energy and financial resources.
Among golf industry associations, only The First Tee really lives up to the battle metaphor. Joe Louis Barrow stated at Golf 20/20 this past November that he was not satisfied with a 34% female representation in First Tee programs. He wants 45%. I have not heard that battle-cry from any other golf industry association. (Golf 20/20, EWGA, Play Golf America and NGCOA all have good women's initiatives, but they lack the challenging goal-setting-objectives that I hear at The First Tee.)
When Pellucid reports that the bright spot in female golfers is the junior girl, that's not a surprise to me. That is the predictable outcome of The First Tee's efforts and the excellent media ads they have produced which make it appear that any girl and every girl can play golf. (The PGA Tour is helpful in that it provides those public service First Tee ads.)
Another place where we are not losing the battle is with young women ages 18-29. In 2003 according to NGF survey stats, the percentage of women golfers age 18-29 represented 15% of all women golfers. In 2004, that age bracket jumped to 23%. (Pellucid reports 18-34 age segments so it is difficult to compare the reports.) Media coverage by non-golf channels of the fabulous young female golfers was probably a source of inspiration to thousands of young women golfers.
The golf industry wears blinders. It generally speaks to those already playing the game, which is a classic "sales" approach. But the industry needs marketing; it must grow the market itself. That requires broad-market media campaigns that reach the golfers that don't read Golf Digest or Golf For Women or watch golf on TV. That's where the local news plays its part and investing in product-placements (think: golf clubs) make sense on sit-com shows. The Golf Channel does not have a "For Women Only" show, but my guess is that an internet-video channel soon will.
Look at the pharmaceutical industry. They haven't stopped marketing through their physician system. They added a program of national consumer advertising. They want a consumer to read the newspaper and then go to their doctor asking, "Why don't I take the purple pill?"
I would love to see a full-page Callaway ad with Morgan Pressel in non-golf publications. What if women opened their Bon Appetit cooking magazine and saw an ad for Callaway? (That's not very hard for Conde Nast publisher to do.) Maybe women would be tempted to cook the 30-minute dinner and take the 60-minute golf lesson.
According to Pellucid, by 2010, over 80% of the all adult golfers -- women and men -- will be over the age of 55. Based on my observations, women over 55 who take up golf for the first time are great golf customers, and if Jim is right, they will quickly find friends who golf which is key for improving frequency. The industry (from the manufacturers to the golf assistant behind the counter) must find new and creative ways to reach the broad-market of potential women golfers and convert them.
At the conference, Jim asked another question: "What can we do to budge frequency?" And he followed that up by asking who wants to keep playing when they don't improve. Answer: most seasoned women golfers hardly budge their handicaps – and they still keep playing. "Not improving" or "not winning" is not the reason more women don't play more golf. Sure, a brand new female golfer doesn't want to embarrass herself, but the equipment and instruction is so good now and the younger women have much better athletic skills (Thank you, Title IX) that she will reach a playable expertise level quickly. Most important, if she is playing with golfers she enjoys, she will stick with the game even with only moderate increments in improvement.
I have a question. Does the industry really want more women playing golf? If so, why doesn't the industry solve the baby-sitting problem? The tennis industry figured it out and so did the ski industry. And, I really don't want to hear that a facility can't supply 5-hour baby-sitters. Try baby-sitters for 3, 6 or 9 holes, maybe just playing lessons, but figure it out. The lack of child-care solutions is just one more reason why I do not think the golf industry is in battle mode about growing women's golf.
Finally, I want to add that there are some real gaps in tracking women's golf. The NGF currently only reports on "golfers" – those who play 9 or 18 holes at least once a year. It does not report on women who only go to golf ranges or play mini-courses. Golf ranges could be winning the battle and moving the frequency needle -- and we just don't know about it.
But forget about trying to measure female interest by their apparel purchases in a pro shops. Except for a hand-full of golf super-stores or a small niche of elite pro shops, most women do just fine buying their golf attire at department stores or at Lands End or the Gap. And, the industry can't measure those sales.
And, finally -- really: Is the golf industry loosing the battle for women golfers? "No," because it's not a battle. BUT, if it was a battle, they could win it. Next year, Jim, tell them how!

Baseball Books Reviewed: Bottom of the 33rd: Hope, Redemption, and Baseball's Longest Game
Bottom of the 33rd: Hope, Redemption, and Baseball's Longest Game by Dan Barry. (Harper, 255 pg., $26.99). HB, 2011.
Read our masthead.
We are SPITBALL: The Literary Baseball Magazine, so it shouldn't surprise anyone that we are passionate about fine writing, especially about baseball. And while literature can be defined as broadly as one might wish, there is nothing that gets us as pumped up as finding an exquisitely written baseball book, regardless of the subject. Bottom of the 33rd is one of those special books, and Dan Barry is one of those special authors.
Not many fans know very much about professional baseball's longest game, and only a tiny percentage will know the particulars, and nearly all would need extensive prompting before recognizing 1981's Holy Saturday epic between the Pawtucket Red Sox and the visiting Rochester Red Wings. And despite the fact that future Hall of Famers Wade Boggs and Cal Ripken, Jr. played all 33 innings, and several other former and future major leaguers also appeared, this was, quite frankly, a nothing game, a statistical anomaly, a barely discernable trivia question blip on the radar screen of baseball history.
So what elevates Bottom of the 33rd to instant classic status?
It's all about the writing, the words on the page, and just as importantly, those that aren't. Author Barry, a celebrated New York Times journalist, deftly avoids all but the barest minimum of play-by-play narrative that would've absolutely killed the pacing and message of the story. After all, there was nothing important about the score or the performances from a historical sense, and so it's entirely appropriate that entire innings sometimes go by in quick italicized bursts of monotony: Strikeout. Strikeout. Walk, ground out. Fly out. Fly out. Strikeout. However, he expertly introduces and simultaneously captures the mindset of individual players at various moments throughout the 8:25 marathon. Because for them, AAA minor leaguers, EVERY pitch holds a vital, mystical, almost spiritual significance: 'This could be the game that gets me noticed, gets me to The Show, or the one that finally exposes my great, nagging fear of inadequacy'.
And rather than succumbing to the lure of celebrity, Barry wisely spends very little time on the opposing third basemen, both of whom would amass over 3000 hits in the majors, and focuses instead on the lesser lights, most with far less known and far more poignant stories to tell.
The heroes are many and varied. The young batboy, refusing to leave his post; the father and son in the stands, honoring a long-ago pact to never leave a ballgame early again; the players' wives; the owners and broadcasters and reporters and umpires and prospects and suspects and the decrepit old stadium, even the depressed Rhode Island city of Pawtucket itself. All get their due, recounted in lyrical, dulcet narrative.
Here's an example, a musing before the top of the twenty-fourth:
"Here is another question: Is this even a baseball game anymore?
Maybe it has morphed into some kind of extravagant form of performance art, in which failure to reach climax is the point; in which the repetition of scoreless innings signals the meaninglessness of existence. Then again, maybe the performance is intended to convey the opposite message: That this is all a celebration of mystery, a divine reminder that the human condition is too complex and unpredictable, so enjoy this party while you can."
There are dozens of passages of similar beauty slathered liberally throughout each chapter. This book was simply a joy, from first page to last, and Barry plays each note with clarity and purity of tone, a true master of his craft.
Of course, the never-ending game did eventually end, and the anti-climax of its suspended conclusion serves as the backdrop to the book's affecting conclusion, to a story of dedication and hope, failure and redemption.
In the end, Bottom of the 33rd is a story about a ballgame, and yet it's not. And that's what continuously draws us to baseball literature, that thrill that comes from experiencing a unique glimpse into humanity through the summery prism of the sport of America's innocence. When it's done right, it's magical.
Prepare to be enchanted.

Berlin 2015: The 9 Films Indiewire Can't Wait to See
Berlin 2015: The 9 Films Indiewire Can't Wait to See
By Eric Kohn and Nigel M. Smith
It's been four years since Andrew Haigh blew us away with
his SXSW award-winning love story "Weekend." He's since helped launch
the HBO show "Looking," which is also fantastic, so anticipation is high
for his follow-up feature "45 Years" to deliver. The filmmaker is
tackling a very different type of story in "45 Years," by adapting a
short story by poet David Constantine about a long-married couple's
relationship that's put under severe stress by the discovery of the body
of the husband's long lost first love. With Charlotte Rampling
headlining his cast, Haigh is in good hands. This has the makings of
something special.
"Aferim!"
Romanian director Radu Jude's dark comedy of domestic abuse, "Everybody in Our Family," was a sleeper hit on the festival circuit following its Berlin premiere in 2012. Now he returns to the festival with a far more sophisticated effort, the period drama "Aferim!," a black-and-white tale set in feudal Europe. Peppered with folklore and boisterous music, "Aferim!" also holds suggests another dark comic edge that satirizes the social mores of its setting. The images in the trailer look lush, but with Jude, nothing is sacred.
Chilean director Pablo Larraín made a name for himself with a trio of movies that confront his country's past dictatorship, the chilling allegorical thrillers "Tony Manero" and "Post Mortem" followed by the Oscar-nominated historical drama "No." Following the widespread acclaim for that movie, Larraín returns to the allegorical front with this minimalist tale set in a remote house on the Chilean coast. Said to involve a set of priests and a nun facing down the arrival of an invasive new priest, "The Club" suggests another frightening and strange tale of societal and religious customs pushed to their breaking point, through the filter of the director's typically shrewd lens.
Bill Condon disappointed with his last limp effort, the Julian Assange profile "The Fifth Estate." For his latest, he's reunited with his "Gods and Monsters" star Ian McKellen for a hopeful comeback. The premise is too juicy to ignore. In "Mr. Holmes," McKellen stars as, you guessed it, Sherlock Holmes. 93 and long-retired, "Mr. Holmes" picks up with the former detective as he reflects on his life and deals with deterioration of his once incredible mind. Laura Linney, who worked wonders in Condon's "Kinsey," reunites with the director to play Holmes' housekeeper Mrs. Munro. With this cast and the beloved source material — the novel "A Slight Trick of the Mind" by Mitch Cullin — signs point to a return to form for Condon. We'll know soon enough.
As soon as it was announced as part of this year's lineup, Terrence Malick's latest became the must-see of the festival. Shot by "The Tree of Life" DP Emmanuel Lubezki, "Knight of Cups" stars Christian Bale as a "slave to the Hollywood system" desperate to escape. Natalie Portman and Cate Blanchett co-star as two of the women in his life. The trailer hints at a dark and hallucinatory experience, edgier in tone than Malick's last two features ("The Tree of Life" and "To the Wonder").
Portraying British explorer and political officer Gertrude Bell in the upcoming epic biopic "Queen of the Desert" from Werner Herzog is exactly the type of challenge that actress Nicole Kidman needs after the less-than-stellar "Grace of Monaco." What's more is that it will be interesting to see what Robert Pattinson brings to his portrayal of the iconic T.E. Lawrence a.k.a. Lawrence of Arabia — a character that most cinephiles associate with the late Peter O'Toole.
Not to be mistaken with Herzog's latest, "Queen of Earth" marks Alex Ross Perry's second film with "Mad Men" star Elisabeth Moss, following their last (and first) collaboration together, "Listen Up Philip." Moss delivered one of her best performances in "Philip"; it's no wonder she reunited with the acerbic filmmaker for another modestly budgeted indie. In "Queen of Earth," Moss pairs up with "Inherent Vice" breakout Katherine Waterston to play Catherine, an insecure young woman reeling from a sudden and unexpected breakup, plus the death of her father. Waterston plays her best friend, who has Catherine over to her family's home to lend support. Moss is said to descend into a "downward spiral of decision and madness" over the course of the feature, according the press notes. This dark, emotional terrain sounds like new territory for Perry and we can't wait to see how he pulls it off with Moss and Waterston leading the way.
"Sworn Virgin"
Alba Rohrwacher, who most recently starred in the festival hits "The Wonders" and "Hungry Hearts," receives another showcase in this first-time feature from Laura Bispuri. The story follows a young woman forced to adhere to traditional expectations of her gender in the isolated Albanian mountains — until she abandons them to become a man. The bulk of the narrative is said to take place a decade later, as the protagonist confronts her past decisions in a climate far less hospitable to her decision than it once was. The tragic setting and ace performer at its center suggest a compelling drama along with the discovery of a new talent behind the camera.
In 2010, Iranian filmmaker Jafar Panahi was banned from making movies for 20 years. That didn't stop him. Following the fascinating docudrama "This is Not a Film" and the metaphorical drama "Closed Curtain," Panahi continues this fascinating anti-authoritarian stage of his career with another clever means of working around the restrictions on his life — by driving a cab. Last year, in an interview with Indiewire, Panahi described the project, which finds him driving around in a cab and talking with customers, as an attempt "to stay connected with life…I knew I would be tempted to take a camera inside the cab." But, he added, "I don't want to do it with a hidden camera." As always with Panahi, the deceptively simple premise suggests rich material lurking beneath the surface. Expect a wry blend of humor and tragedy as the filmmaker probes the society that keeps him stationary, but not unproductive.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has served in power for 15 years, 4 as president. As of Sunday June 24th Erdogan won a second term as president with new tyrannical power. In 2016 Turkey's military attempted a coup to overthrow Erdogan. This military coup failed and Erdogan has since left Turkey in an official state of emergency. He has utilized this to expunge the country's military and courts of his opposers. Additionally in 2017 Erdogan passed a referendum that abolishes the role of prime minister and nullifies any checks and balances, effectively consolidating the power of the president. His reelection is significant as it was the first election of the new executive presidency. This new power will allow him to radically reshape Turkey's government and further consolidate his own power. Many analyst attribute Erdogan's win to his party's control over the vast majority of all media. His opponent Muharrem Ince only received one tenth of the media time that Erdogan enjoyed. However despite the fact that the scale was tipped in his direction Erdogan only won 52.5% of the vote. Ince received 30.6% of the vote, which is the most his Republican People's Party has ever received. This represent the continued opposition that persists against Erdogan. So while Erdogan seem on the verge of becoming a full on dictator, his fight to consolidate more power remains an uphill battle. Erdogan will have to work to gain more public support otherwise he faces the prospect of another military coup.

Recently, we wrote about what an agile mind set includes. But to establish a truly agile organization more than just the mind set of employees has to change. Only by creating the right organizational structures and with agile leadership can an agile work environment develop.
Agility is the opposite approach to simply following a plan, but this does not mean that there is a lack of planning. To the contrary, agile ways of working rely on disciplined processes to be able to concentrate on content. The role of leaders and manager changes too. Management and leadership are distributed across self-organized teams themselves, new roles and management that now has to develop into people management. The new people managers still need to provide guidance and decide at junctions whether to follow the pre-determined course. But they also need to excel at staffing, performance and competency management and people development.
Leaders and managers have to overcome their fear of losing their old realm of power to truly enable agile working—and they need to learn new stuff.


LAKE CHARLES, LA (KPLC) - The bitter cold can be life-threatening for homeless people who have no shelter.
Community members are pitching in to try to assure all are warm and well-fed.
We were alerted to Jackets and sweaters hung on trees and bushes downtown. They had little notes attached: "I'm here to keep you warm and dry. God bless," read one note. They were put there by a man who wishes to remain anonymous.
Whereas, across town, dozens of church members and volunteers raced around, setting up 125 beds for those who will seek refuge from the bitter cold.
Homeless outreach director Kelli Stawecki says all are welcome.
"We don't want somebody to freeze. Last year, we lost one of our homeless in a fire. He was trying to keep himself warm and he caught himself on fire and he passed away. So, we have said that we're going to do everything that we can do and everybody else should too," she said.
It's a labor of love for those like Chasity Bishop, who knew she had to help.
"My heart told me to. We have to take care of our homeless," she said.
And though the emergency shelter is at Water's Edge, other community members have pitched in. A group of ladies donated hand-stitched prayer pillows.
"So, they pray over every thread as they stitch it. So, from what we gather, these women just kind of stay in prayer so as they're doing it, they're just praying for the heads that will rest on these," explained Katy Rozas, who is a volunteer at Water's Edge.
So, besides a warm bed and good food; "We'll have a special gift we can hand out and give. We'll be able to give to our homeless and they'll have a little extra dash of love to take with them when this is all done," said Rozas.
So, here they will try to help those in need to find kindness, comfort, and to feel the love of those who care.
There's also Room in the Inn which can be reached at 337-602-8345.
The Salvation Army located at 3020 legion street dues take in an additional 15 men if the temperature gets 40 degrees or lower.
A church in Sulphur is helping those in need get a hot meal and a place to stay.
Maplewood First Baptist Church members invite the homeless to come out while they prepare a meal and an overnight place for them to keep warm.
Saturday, breakfast will be served for those staying the night-along with packed lunches and personal hygiene kits.
Those taking part could arrive starting at 5:30 p.m. Friday evening.

The Millionaire Hot Seat burger ring answer.
Seriously - how could a Millionaire Hot Seat contestant get this question wrong?
The very first question on Channel Nine's Millionaire Hot Seat is always an easy one.
The correct answer is always glaringly obvious – comically so. The round is only worth $100, and it's just meant to get the crowd and contestants warmed up.
In other words, nobody is ever expected to get the question wrong.
The funny (and obviously correct) answer was 'Burger Ring'.
Whitney did not select Burger Ring. And she did not win $100.
When it eventually did, she was mortified.
The moment will haunt her forever.


Once again this November, runners will get on their marks, get set for an awesome evening and go for the gold at the 5th annual Beach to Bar 5k. Bringing a fun twist to the traditional run, Beach to Bar will offer a challenging route traversing not one, but two bridges and a post-race celebration like no other. And the race is not JUST for the fun of it—it will also serve as a noteworthy fundraiser for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation (CFF).

Letter: Amy Martin and Arati Kreibich for Council
I write to encourage my fellow Glen Rock registered voters to support Councilwoman Amy Martin and Dr. Arati Kreibich for Glen Rock Borough Council.
Here is why I support them.
Councilwoman Amy Martin is running for reelection. She has done a good job on the council in her first term. She deserves to be reelected. Glen Rock voters should reward her hard work on the council by giving her a second term.
I met with Dr. Arati Kreibich so I could get to know her better. She is a mom, wife, a five-year Glen Rock resident, trained scientist in neurology and a naturalized U.S. citizen of Indian descent. She is also a very friendly person — a good attribute. Her willingness to actively run for office says a great deal for her love of Glen Rock. Being a council member requires time and attention most residents are not willing to commit to. Her scientific background shows she can be a critical thinker on complex issues. This can benefit us all. Being an Indian-American is an added bonus. While she will serve all residents, having an Indian heritage gives her the added advantage of understanding the customs and practices of residents who are of Indian descent.
I like the fact that the Glen Rock Board of Education added Diwali as a school holiday. It benefits us all to know what fellow residents are celebrating and observing.
Glen Rock welcomes residents of all backgrounds and religions. It helps make our town a better place to live. It also makes it a more interesting community.
Having Amy Martin and Dr. Arati Kreibich on the Glen Rock Borough Council will benefit Glen Rock and all of its residents.
On Nov. 7, cast your vote for Councilwoman Amy Martin and Dr. Arati Kriebich.
