Baselios Marthoma Mathews I (27 March 1907 – 8 November 1996) was the primate of Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church, also known as Indian Orthodox Church. He was the 5th catholicos of the Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church and 18th Malankara Metropolitan.

Early life
He was the youngest son of Rev. Vattakunnel Kurien Kathanar and Pulickaparampil Mariamma in Kottayam. His father was Vicar of St. Mary's Orthodox Church at Manarcad. In his early days, the catholicos was called V.K. Mathew and nicknamed Kuttachen.

Education
Mathew had his school education at M.D. Seminary High School, and collegiate education in C.M.S. College, Kottayam, and Maharaja's College Ernakulam. After obtaining a Bachelor of Arts degree in chemistry, Mathews opted for the ministry of God and joined the Bishop's College, Calcutta, for a Bachelor of Theology degree in 1936. After obtaining his degree in 1942, he joined the teaching staff of the Orthodox Theological Seminary, Kottayam.

Orders

Priesthood
On 27 October 1946, V.K. Mathew at the age of 39, received ordination of priesthood from Catholicos Mar Geevarghese II, at Old Seminary. The theological seminary was his main field of activity, and was appointed as its acting principal in 1948 and as its principal in 1951, which position he retained until 1966.

Metropolitan (1953–1975)
The Malankara Syrian Christian Association held in 1951 elected Fr. Mathews as metropolitan-candidate and accordingly on 15 May 1953, the Catholicos Mar Geevarghese along with other metropolitans of the synod, consecrated him as Metropolitan Mar Athanasius at Mar Elia Chapel, Kottayam. In addition to the post of principal of the theological seminary, he was in charge of the diocese of Outside Kerala from 1960 to 1976. During this period the diocese grew significantly. The metropolitan made several tours to different parts of the diocese.

In July 1963, at the invitation of Russian Orthodox Church, Mar Athanasius and Daniel Mar Philexinos visited Moscow and attended the golden jubilee celebration of the metropolitan consecration of Alexy I Patriarch as the representatives of the Catholicos of the East.

On 31 December 1970 Mar Athanasius was elected as successor to Baselios Augen I as Catholicos and Malankara metropolitan by the Malankara Association. Consequently, the Metropolitan was called upon to assist the Catholicos in the administration of the Church from 1972 on wards.

Malankara Metropolitan and Catholicos
On 24 September 1975, Mar Athanasius assumed the charge of Malankara metropolitan with the approval of the Synod, when Baselios Augen I voluntarily relinquished charge of that office.

Mar Athanasius was installed by the Holy Synod as Catholicos Mar Thoma Mathews I on the apostolic throne of St. Thomas of the East in a ceremonial function held on Monday, 27 October 1975 at the Old Seminary. He was 68 years old. The installation service was conducted by the Episcopal Synod. Daniel Mar Philoxinos, secretary to the synod, was the chief celebrant of the service.

He was installed as Catholicos of the East on the Apostolic throne of St. Thomas on 27 October 1975, succeeding Mar Baselios Augen. The catholicos is 88th in succession and the fifth after the re-establishment of the catholicate in India.

Legacy

Title Marthoma
The title affixed to the Catholicos is Baselios Marthoma Mathews I. While 'Baselios' has been the traditional formal title of all Catholicoi taken after the great scholar and theologian Mar Baselios of Cappadocia, 'Mar Thoma' was suffixed to imply the lineage of Malankara Metropolitans, in which Mathews I came 18th. The term 'Mar Thoma' has a historical significance. Following the Coonen Cross Oath of 1653, the Malankara Metropolitan took the title 'Mar Thoma' signifying and following the St. Thomas tradition of the Church. Nine Malankara metropolitan, who ruled the Church from 1653 to 1816, bore the title Marthtoma. This title, however, came to be dropped following the intervention of the Church of Syria from the times of Mar Thoma VI (I 765). Mar Thoma VI accepted the title Mar Dionysius (I) in certain exigent situation of dependence on them. Mar Thoma VII, VIII and IX, however, had not used the title. But later on, traditional Greek names like Dionysius, Athanasius, which were commonly used in the Eastern Church including the Church in Syria came into regular use in the Malankara Church since the time of Metropolitan Pulikottil Mar Joseph Dionysius II (1816). Nevertheless, the Church recaptured the spirit of national independence and affixed the 'Mar Thoma' title to the Catholicos when Mathews I was installed as the Primate of the Church

Administration
Mathews I made himself available to the entire Church. While he was in office, the present system of holding the Holy Episcopal Synod at least twice a year at fixed periods and with proper agendas came into effect.

Seminary
Mathews I wished the Malankara Church to be known as Indian Orthodox Church, and worked to preserve its independence. During his time the Orthodox Theological Seminary at Kottayam was affiliated to the Serampur University, Calcutta and the seminary was upgraded as a degree college. He wanted the Theological College to be made an independent university for Theology.

Consecration of Holy Myron
He consecrated holy Myron, a very rare function, on 1 April 1977 at Old Seminary Chapel, Kottayam and on 25 March 1988 at Devalokam Catholicate Chappel.

Consecration of bishops
He consecrated 10 bishops (Metropolitans), five at Pazhanji Church on 15 May 1978 and at Puthiacav St Mary's Church, Mavelikara on 15 May 1985.

Contributions
Mathews I was an authority on Church Canons, Constitution and history. He was closely associated with the lawsuits related to factional disputes within the Church when he was a layman and he sought advice on such matters from experts in the field during this time, especially from his elder brother Cherian Vattakunnel. As an unmatched authority on Church Canons, he was able to strengthen the autonomy and continue the autocephaly of the Church unchallenged.

He translated and published several works so they were available to all in Malayalam, English, Tamil, and Hindi, and celebrated the Qurbana (Divine Liturgy) in English for the diaspora.

For the conservation of rare books and records he started the Malankara Orthodox Archives. School of Liturgical Music was also started at the Seminary with the aim of preserving and teaching sacred music. He was a good exponent of "Eccara", the canonical songs. He was very concerned to preserve the Beth Gazo. For the Theological education of the Elderly he started a course by the name "Divya Bodhanam" which has become very popular now.

Awards
He was awarded The Order of St. Valdimer by the Patriarch of Russia and made a Fellow of the Leningrad Theological Seminary. He was decorated with The Order of St. George of the First Degree by the Georgian Catholicose-Patriarch Ilia II on 30 August 1982 'for proacting and strengthening the fraternal ties between Georgian and Indian Churches'. Serampur University conferred a Doctorate Degree (Honoris Causa) on him.

Catholicate Platinum Jubilee Celebrations
The 70th year of the establishment of the Catholicate was celebrated with great pomp and glory in 1982. The celebratory meeting held at Kottayam Nehru Stadium on 12 September 1982 had HE Gyani Zail Singh, President of India, as the chief guest. Dignitaries from several Churches around the world were present at the meeting including Catholicos of All Armenians Vazgen I and Catholicos-Patriarch of All Georgia Ilia II. Dr. P. C. Alexander, Principal Secretary to the Prime Minister of India and Union Minister C. M. Stephen were among the guests at this immense meeting. HG Dr. Paulos Mar Gregorios, Catholicos Designate Mathews Mar Coorilos, Governor of Andhra Pradesh K. C. Abraham, HG Michael Bosco Duraisamy of Salem representing the Pope of Rome, Metropolitan HG Emilianos representing the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople, Metropolitan HG Nathaniel of Ethiopian Orthodox Church, Metropolitan HG Vladimir of Russian Orthodox Church, Metropolitan HG Sairadhariar of Armenian Orthodox Church, Metropolitan HG Nestor of Romanian Orthodox Church, Bishop HG Josif Velichki of Bulgarian Orthodox Church, Bishop Ambrosius of Finland, Kerala state minister R. Balakrishna Pillai and Chief Editor of Malayala Manorama Mr. K. M. Mathew were also present on the occasion.

Order of St. Thomas
During his reign, Mathews I instated the Order of St. Thomas, which is the highest honorary award given by the Indian Orthodox Church. The first recipient of the award was HE Gyani Zail Singh, the President of India at the Catholicate Platinum Jubilee Celebratory meeting in 1982.

Ecumenical Relations
Mathews I had close ties with several Orthodox primates. A number of Patriarchs, Catholicoi and Metropolitans from sister Orthodox Churches visited India during his reign. He also visited several foreign countries as the guest of Orthodox primates.
On 8 February 1986, Pope John Paul II visited Catholicos Mathews I at Mar Elia Cathedral, Kottayam.

Death
On 27 April 1991, Mathews I relinquished the Titles of The Catholicos and Malankara Metropolitan of Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church due to old age. He died on 8 November 1996 and was buried at the Catholicate Palace, Devalokam, Kottayam.

It is in the burdens he can carry.
As the 50th anniversary of the 1963 March on Washington approaches, commemorating that historic gathering where Martin Luther King Jr gave his famous 'I have a dream' speech, it is important to recall the extent to which King was targeted by the government's domestic spying apparatus.
The FBI operation against King is one of the most shameful episodes in the long history of our government's persecution of dissenters. Fifty years later, Edward Snowden took enormous personal risk to expose the global reach of surveillance programmes overseen by President Barack Obama. His revelations continue to provoke worldwide condemnation of the US.
The FBI at that time was run by its founding director, J Edgar Hoover. The far-reaching clandestine surveillance, infiltration and disruption operation Hoover ran was dubbed "Cointelpro", for counterintelligence programme.
The FBI's Cointelpro activities, along with illegal operations by agencies like the CIA, were thoroughly investigated in 1975 by the Church Committee. The Church committee reported that the FBI "conducted a sophisticated vigilante operation aimed squarely at preventing the exercise of first amendment rights of speech and association." Among Cointelpro's perverse activities was an FBI effort to threaten Martin Luther King Jr with exposure of an alleged extramarital affair, including the suggestion, made by the FBI to King, that he avoid embarrassment by killing himself.
Following the Church committee, Congress imposed serious limitations on the FBI and other agencies, restricting domestic spying. Among the changes was the passage into law of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (Fisa). Fisa compelled the FBI and others in the government to go to a secret court, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, in order to engage in domestic wiretapping.
Then came 11 September 2001, and the swift passage of the Patriot Act, granting broad, new powers of surveillance to intelligence agencies, including the FBI. Section 215 of that act is widely criticised, first for allowing the FBI to obtain records of what books people are signing out of the library.
But now, more than 10 years later, and thanks to the revelations that have come from the Snowden leaks, we see that the government has used this law to perform dragnet surveillance on all electronic communications, including telephone 'metadata', which can be analysed to reveal intimate details of our lives, legalising a truly Orwellian system of total surveillance.
In what is considered to be a litmus test of the potential to roll back the Obama administration's domestic spy programmes, a bipartisan coalition of libertarian Republicans and progressive Democrats put forth an amendment to the latest defence authorisation bill.
The White House took seriously the potential that its power to spy might get trimmed by Congress. On the eve of the debate on the amendment, House members were lobbied by NSA Director General Keith B Alexander, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, as well as by hawkish members of the congressional intelligence committees.
The amendment was narrowly defeated. A full bill that would similarly shut down the NSA programme is currently in committee.
Martin Luther King Jr was a dissident, an organiser, a critic of US wars abroad and of poverty and racism at home. He was spied on, and his work was disrupted by the federal government.

The new president of Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro, is cast in Chavez's mould.
Obama, who has betrayed democracy in America, unleashing execution on American citizens without due process of law and war without the consent of Congress, provoked Maduro's response by suggesting that Maduro's newly elected government might be fraudulent. Obviously, Obama is piqued that the millions of dollars his administration spent trying to elect an American puppet instead of Maduro failed to do the job.
Hegemonic Washington threw countless amounts of money into the last Venezuelan election, doing its best to deliver the governance of that country to a Washington puppet called Henrique Capriles. Why isn't this puppet arrested for treason? Why are not the Washington operatives against an independent country ordered to leave Venezuela immediately or arrested and tried for spying and high treason? Why allow any presence of Washington in Venezuela when it is clear that Washington's intention is to make Venezuela a puppet state?
There was a time when the US left-wing and a no longer extant liberal media would have been all over the US for its illegal interference in the internal affairs of an independent country. But no more.
I think the American left-wing lost its confidence when the Soviet Union collapsed and the Chinese communists and Indian socialists turned capitalist. Everyone misread the situation, especially the 'end of history' idiots. The consequence is a world without strong protests of Washington's and its puppet states' war criminal military aggressions, murder, destruction of civil liberty and human rights, and transparent propaganda.
But hardly anyone cares. The western governments and Japan are all paid off and bought, and those that are not bought are begging to be bought because they want the money too. Truth, integrity, these are all dead-letter words. No one any longer knows what they mean.
George W Bush said, in Orwellian double-speak, they hate us for our freedom and democracy. They don't hate us because we bomb them, invade them, kill them, destroy their way of life, culture, and infrastructure. They hate us because we are so good.
Washington and Israel present the world with unmistakable evil. I don't need to stand at the UN podium after Bush or Obama.
Homeland Security has 'crisis actors' to help it deceive the public in its false flag operations. The Obama regime has drones with which to silence US citizens without due process of law.
Are Americans so completely ignorant that they believe this is all for 'terrorists' whose sparse numbers require the FBI to manufacture 'terrorists' in so-called 'sting operations' in order to justify the FBI's $3 billion special fund from Congress to combat domestic terrorism?
This is the kind of country American has become. This is the kind of 'security' agencies it has, filling their pockets by destroying the lives of the innocent and downtrodden.

You're a high-energy, organized, and experienced executive assistant with no problem juggling multiple tasks and responsibilities. Supporting others is your thing. Satisfaction for you means taking care of the little (and big) things that help leaders lead more effectively.
This position's primary focus is to partner with Amy, the owner of the company, in ensuring her schedule, projects and commitments are executed flawlessly. You'll be responsible for making sure her team, students and peers have a high-touch, intimate and professional experience with her.
The Executive Assistant position might be PERFECT for you if you're a positive, tech savvy, and organized self-starter with experience in a similar role.
You're excited to work with a team that's making waves in the online marketing industry and committed to changing lives and businesses. And you understand that more often than not, it's the little things that really count (it's this mentality that helps you excel in a support role).
As Amy's right hand, you'll be representing her and the entire company — and yes, that is a big deal! You'll be working closely with an industry leader and helping ensure she can keep her focus on content creation and big picture innovation.
We're looking for someone who's happy to keep up with the fast pace of our growing team. Our ideal candidate knows how to communicate with warmth and grace. Attention to detail and interpersonal skills that ensure discretion and confidentiality are essential.
A commitment to continuously learning, improving, and refining your skills is a part of who you are. As an online business, we do things differently and we need someone who's adaptable and able to work independently most of the time.
This is a full-time position — please don't apply if you have other clients or manage a virtual assistant agency.
The Executive Assistant position will be mostly virtual, but you will work with Amy in person 1-2 times each week. You must live in the San Diego, Carlsbad or Encinitas area and be available Monday-Friday between 9-5 PST.
During launch periods (typically a maximum of two weeks at a time), the whole team goes into the all-hands-on-deck mode. This means evenings and weekends until the job is done, and it may even mean doing tasks that aren't normally contained within the job description of this role. For many, this can be some of the most challenging and rewarding work that we do.
The Executive Assistant is responsible for managing and organizing Amy's busy calendar and inbox. You must be a strategic thinker with clear, quick, and effective communication skills.
Managing Amy's Google calendar, appointments, travel and some personal commitments.
Managing Amy's inbox and providing a high-level of responsiveness and problem solving skills aligned with a warm and professional attitude.
Being Amy's handler — you'll be in charge of helping Amy keep her time and schedule in order on her behalf.
Working and collaborating with other key team members to schedule and execute new initiatives.
Helping to set up meetings using Zoom.
Helping to manage files, documents, and photos in both Dropbox and Google Drive while maintaining a Marie Kondo like organizational structure.
A strong ability to manage multiple responsibilities daily. Set up calendar appointments, send out correspondence, track delayed payments, manage group settings, book travel…all in a day's work!
You're a thinker and a doer. You don't need to be told what to do — you're innovative, resourceful, and able to anticipate what needs to get done.
You must be a self-starter with the ability to be productive from your home office. Getting distracted by Instagram = no bueno.
A positive, high-energy attitude and get it done mindset that searches for solutions instead of focusing on struggles is essential. You think about your work in terms of outcomes and results, not hours worked.
Highly organized and able to anticipate calendar needs well beyond this week.
An interest in engaging with Amy's team, peers, and students while communicating on Amy's behalf and doing so with grace.
A high level of professionalism and emotional maturity (we don't do drama here).
Detail is your middle name. You have high standards and mediocre is not a word in your vocabulary.
You're invested in becoming the best you can be and excited to work with a fun lovin' team who's happy to help you get there!
Responsive and communicative. You know how to close the loop and confirm assignments are received and completed.
Excellent writing and verbal communication skills — you have a knack for putting ideas into words and ensuring everyone is on the same page.
What win are you most proud of in your experience of being an Executive Assistant?
If this was your role, you would be managing Amy's email inbox. What is your process for effectively getting to inbox zero each day?
Amy is looking for a "Handler" – what does that mean to you and why are you the perfect Handler?
We are looking for a calendar management ninja. Give us 3 reasons why that is you.
Link to a 2-minute video introduction (We will not review videos longer than 2 minutes).
If you're an experienced executive assistant, a total people person, and you love working with a team that's making a difference in the world, this might just be the opportunity you've been looking for.


A short time ago an old horse was kindly helped with his new journey to the new world. When I visited the other horses four days later the energy of the place was heavy laden. The owner has 6 horses on the property and she wanted me to have a look a horse. The horse gave me the impression he was grieving and my hands were drawn to the emotional channel of the Bladder meridian.
I was working with the owner's horse while the owner was holding her lead. Then I noticed two other horses lined up directly behind the horse I was giving the acupressure session. The interesting part was all three horses were yawning their heads off then the owner started, so huge releases everywhere.
In the next paddock there were 3 different horses were paying attention to the acupressure session. I was told that one of the horses never goes to anyone and can be quite explosive. When the owner approached the mare, she hid behind a tree. I watched then went over to the tree and leant on the truck when the mare started to sniff me. I put my hand out to her and she sniffed – all in all it was she who approached me, it was her idea, her choice. With this I stepped forward and she followed me around the tree into the shade where she allowed me to work on her emotional branch of the Bladder meridian. It was only for a minute and I barely touched her but the release was huge and she gave a warning that it was enough.
At the end of the session the owner and I could feel the energy on the whole property had changed from being heavy laden to one of release, lighter, relaxed, and calm. All the horses on the property processed that afternoon and all the next day. I spoke with the owner five days later and she stated that the horses were happier and more relaxed. As small as this was the outcome was overwhelming. I realised how powerful TCM is even when you think you are not doing anything.
About my acupressure sessions, I worked very lightly dropping down from Bl 13, the Association for Lung, to the second branch of the Bladder meridian, which is related to grief. Then I went to Bl 23, the Association point for Kidney, which is related to fear, and dropped down to the second branch again. I completed the session with working with Pericardium 7 and Heart 7 simultaneously to support the horses' spirit.

Q: Laravel mix - Typescript error when using v-model.trim I am trying to use v-model.trim in my Vue component and Typescript via Laravel Mix is having absolute kittens about it.
<input v-model.trim="tester"/>

const tester = ref('');

Running npm run dev works no problem, but npm run prod gives me
TS2322: Type '[ModelDirective<HTMLInputElement | HTMLTextAreaElement>, string, undefined, { trim: true; }]' is not assignable to type '[Directive<any, any>] | [Directive<any, any>, any] | [Directive<any, any>, any, string] | [Directive<any, any>, any, string, DirectiveModifiers]'.
  Type '[ModelDirective<HTMLInputElement | HTMLTextAreaElement>, string, undefined, { trim: true; }]' is not assignable to type '[Directive<any, any>, any, string, DirectiveModifiers]'.
    Type at position 2 in source is not compatible with type at position 2 in target.
      Type 'undefined' is not assignable to type 'string'.

So I have 3 questions:

*

*How do I fix this error?

*For other errors, how can I get the output to tell me where the error is coming from?

*How can I tell the dev build to be just as strict as the prod build, and have PHP storm show me these errors too?

Murano's glassmakers led Europe for centuries, developing or refining many technologies including crystalline glass, enameled glass, glass with threads of gold, multicolored glass, milk glass, and imitation gemstones made of glass. In the 1920s Muranese glass-making positively felt the changes in the international artistic world to a greater extent than had been the case in the pre-war period. In the 1930s and 1940s with its preciosity and decorative fancies, Murano glass products met Art Deco. The handicraft of production continued to characterize the Muranese glass-works in the 30's and 40's. Today, the artisans of Murano are still employing their centuries-old techniques, crafting everything from contemporary art glass and figurines to Murano glass chandeliers and wine stoppers.
Murano glass items create a vivacious, luxury character. Many people purchase Murano glass for its aesthetic value, but also for its historical art significance. During the mid century period from the 1940′s through the 1960′s when Murano Art Glass was at its height, much of the glass from this era is sought after. Collecting Murano is a rewarding hobby, which can be passed on from generation to generation much like the techniques and traditions of the Murano Maestro!

Scheduling messages is not hard inherently. However, one criteria for
auto-asaad is depeding only on online (and preferebly free) service and not to
use any hosted services. To achieve this goal, auto-asaad uses an orchestration
of onine services. Here is a high-level outline:

 Scheduler scripts ==schedules==>> Google Calendar <<==read_event== IFTTT

I have used the scripts and ideas provided [here](https://unnikked.ga/a-telegram-channel-and-group-scheduler-out-of-google-calendar-ifttt-and-hook-io-93a1716417db?utm_source=ifttt)

find samples in _app_ subdirectory), register events in Google calendar,
and IFTTT and scripts hosted in hook.io are responsible for sending out the
message at the desired time.

The messaging class accepts its configuration in JSON format. The format for the
object should be as follows:

```json
"Messaging": {
"Google": {
  "ClientId": "YOUR_CLIENT_ID",
  "ClientSecret": "YOUR_SECRET_ID",
  "RefreshToken": "YOUR_REFERESH_TOKEN",
  "CalendarName": "YOUR_CALENDAR_NAME"
},
"Telegram": {
  "ChatIdProvider": "static",
  "ChatIds": ["CHAT_ID_TO_RECEIVE_NOTIFICATIONS"]
}
```

The Google subsection passes authentication credentials to connect to Google
calendar service and also where the events sould be persisted.

The Telegram subsection, identifies the receipients of the scheduled messages.
Currently, the only implemented ChatIdProvider method is the _static_ method,
i.e. you should provide a list of chat ID's you want to receive the notification
directly in the configuration file. If you have a Telegram bot and want to
obtain chat IDs, you can refer to this [article](https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#getupdates)

## API

Messaging class can be instatiating by passing the configuration object to the constructor:

```javascript
var Messaging = require('../../messaging') // Assume the CWD be apps/myapp
var messaging = new Messaging(config)
```

After initialization, the public API calls available to you are as follows:
* `createCalEvent(eventTime, summary, message)`: registers an event in Google
calendar where:
	* `eventTime`: String. This is the scheduled time for the message. It should be in the ISO format (`YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss`).
	* `summary`: String. The summary of the event. If using Telegram scheduling, the convention requires you to set it to `#scheduler` literal.
	* `message`: String. The body of the notification. Note that you should escape special characters in the string. For instance a new line character should be written as `\\n` in the string

Notes Carl & Fernando
design,challenge,carl fernando
Me and my good friend Giovanni Vivanco are both designers eager to create. As a way to feed ourselves with new challenges, we started a bi-weekly show and tell.
The idea is to interrupt scheduled weekly work with minor challenges. It's also to show there's not one way to create a design. Two designers will approach a brief in their respective modus operandi. It's all about the designer. There's always another solution. Each challenge shouldn't be more than a couple of hours work.
The name for the challenge is basically a combination of our additional given names, Carl and Fernando. And maybe a name for future agency to reckon with?
The Carl part of the logo is my part, a bold statement set in Adelle from TypeTogether.
First challenge
We started of with a minor logo challenge. We are planning to put up our work on display online, so creating a website will be for a future task. And to brand this platform we decided to create a logo as the first challenge. Pick a typeface and a weight, solely based on personal flavour. We then combine each typeface to create a logo for the platform where we'll share our process and work.
Second challenge
Time machine. Go back in time, to the golden days of advertising and redo an ad using a modern product, suitable to put in a magazine.
I chose to redo an ad for the 1966 Ford Fairlane. The ad seems to be referring to The Wizard of Oz so I basically wanted to refer to a more relevant movie, the upcoming "Star Wars: Episode VII" and used the tagline "The Force Awakens." Suitable for a car.
The force awakens is the tagline for the upcoming Stars Wars and felt like a suitable for a car. On the left is the original add for Ford Fairlane.
Third challenge
Without the pen leaving the paper, draw a symbol for the olympic games 2016 in Rio de Janeiro.
Never been to Rio de Janeiro, or Brazil for that matter, I started doing some basic research for visual concepts. I ended up with a symbol combining elements from the flag and a very abstract interpretation of "Christ the Redeemer".
As the olympics is probably the competition of the year for many athletes, they're perfecting their performance up until the day of the competition. I wanted to find this perfection within the lines. Trying to achieve perfect lines with a way to convey speed.

Unknown Mortal Orchestra: The Arts Club, Liverpool
By Adam Lowerson on	 24th June 2016 Live reviews
Unknown Mortal Orchestra
As Unknown Mortal Orchestra warm up for Glastonbury with a handful of UK dates, Getintothis' Adam Lowerson is there to catch the action.
The Sun. Death Valley. The contents of a microwaved apple turnover.
These are the only three places in the galaxy hotter than the Arts Club was tonight. It was absolutely sweltering. The auditorium was packed from front to back, and the heat radiating from the expectant crowd was something to behold. Unknown Mortal Orchestra were going to have to put on one hell of a show to match the atmosphere beforehand. It was no easy task.
Having enjoyed a massive rise in popularity since the release of their last record Multi Love in 2015, a record jam packed with soul infused psych-pop bangers, UMO are a band with the tools to whip up a frenzy from the off. Yet this is never really the case, with a number of low key, slow burning tracks padding out a fair bit of the first half of the gig. Too many of them drag on, with the brand breaking out into extended jams. There's a time and a place for long guitar and drum solos, but this early in the set certainly doesn't feel quite right. In all honesty, it felt pretty flat.
Ur Life One Night is the anomaly early on, bringing out the night's first taste of the grooving, soul inspired sounds that made Multi Love such a success. The wah-guitars, bouncing bass and hugely danceable rhythms are impossible not to move to. It's like Stevie Wonder put through a psychedelic filter.
See which North West acts will be joining UMO at Glastonbury
Our early fears that we were in for an underwhelming, yet really sweaty night were soon eased however, as UMO's biggest and best tracks were rolled out one after another to bring the main set, and following encore to a climatic close.
FFunny FFriends from the band's self titled debut album is the night's arms in the air, clap-along moment, before the disco beats of Like Acid Rain picks up the pace. It's big, bold and funky and without a doubt, the best song of the night.
At this point, we were expecting an airing for the latest single First World Problem, but for some reason it doesn't come. God knows why, it's an absolute belter. However, this is soon forgotten about by set closer, Can't Keep Checking My Phone. Where earlier on in the set, we might have been guilty of checking our own phones, it was the perfect way to end the set on a massive high.

66 OLD TIME Dance Clips-- Uptown Funk MASH UP !! AWESOME ! VIDEO
by Ponee Wed Dec 09, 2015 12:11 pm
"Watching this video every morning is a great way to start an awesome day. I applaud the person that took time to put this beauty together. Made from 66 scenes from some of the earliest musicals, this video is a piece of art. All the movies you see are from the Golden Age, no later than 1954, some of them are lost forever with only minutes on reels that have survived. None of these clips were sped up or slowed down. Please, enjoy "
Golden age of Hollywood lasted from the end of the silent era in the late 1920s to the early 1960s. All the movies were made by the Hollywood studios. The Big Five film making studios were MGM, Warner Brothers, 20th Century Fox, Paramount, and RKO. Each studio owned hundreds of theaters in cities and towns across America. One studio could have thousands of employees, even actors and directors were employees of a particular film studio.
Directors those days were not considered artists, and only a few, like Henry Hathaway, Alfred Hitchcock, John Ford, and Howard Hawks, were able to fulfill their artistic views.
First musical films appeared in 1923-24. They were made by Lee de Forest and they were short. The Golden Age started with The Jazz Singer musical released in 1927 by Warner Brothers.
That's when silent era came to an end. Hollywood released more than 100 musical films in 1930, but only 14 in 1931. The audience got fed up with musicals and moved on. The 30th opened the Star studded era. MGM dominated the industry and had most of the top stars in Hollywood. Leading stars of the era such as Greta Garbo and Marlene Dietrich were labeled "Box office Poison."
They were payed huge salaries, despite failure at the box office, which dramatically decreased profits. The peak of the studio system was reached in 1939. That year these classics were introduced to the world: The Wizard of Oz, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Gone with the Wind, etc. Gone with the Wind held the record of highest-grossing film for 25 years, adjusted for inflation, it has earned more than any other film ever.

Mother & Baby talk to New Tricks and ex-Eastenders actress Tamzin Outhwaite about parenting.
I'm about to begin filming a new series of New Tricks as well as rehearsing for a new play called Di and Viv and Rose, which opens in the West End in January. It will be the busiest I have ever been, so I'm about to start a fitness regime to ensure I'm on top form!
Q: It must be difficult when filming to juggle work and family life. What advice do you have for busy working mums?
Q: How has your diet and exercise regime changed since becoming a mum?
Q: How do you try and promote a healthy lifestyle to your children?
I try extremely hard to make sure we have good, healthy food in the house and marry up what they both like without having too much sugar. My fridge is quite healthy so I do allow a Friday treat because if it's once a week it doesn't feel so bad. When I grew up we didn't have sweets, crisps or chocolate as they simply weren't in the house - my lunch box was the one with the peeled carrots and cucumbers!
Q: What three tips would you give to a new mum who wants to make healthier choices?
My kids wake at 6am and that's always a really lovely time with them. Often, I will put on some music and the three of us will dance around the kitchen as they really love music and dancing. Then we will have some porridge and a juice called Cherry Good, which is a blend of cherries, for breakfast.
Q: What advice did your mum give you that you will pass on to your own children?

Fox News mentioned Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez over 3,000 times in 6 weeks: study – National
in: Political News, Politics
Freshman Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's name is on the lips of nearly everyone at Fox News.
Fox News apologizes for '3 Mexican countries' graphic
A study found that the New York City Democrat was mentioned 3,181 times on Fox News Channel and its sister Fox Business Network during the six-week period of Feb. 25 to April 7, or just under 76 times a day. Not a day went by when she wasn't spoken about on Fox.
The liberal watchdog Media Matters for America, which did the research, called it an obsession and said the first term representative has become the network's latest bogeyman, "someone for hosts and guests to demonize, knock down and refer to whenever grievances need to be aired against the Democratic Party."
Media Matters for America did not analyze other news shows for this report. Its mission is to monitor conservative news in the U.S. media.
WATCH: Disney/Fox merger could result in up to 4,000 job losses
Fox has talked about Ocasio-Cortez's advocacy for a Green New Deal, called her a hypocrite for using cars and has fed off her social media pronouncements. Fox's Sean Hannity called her "the real speaker of the House," instead of Nancy Pelosi.
Tucker Carlson has called her an "idiot wind bag," a "pompous little twit," a "fake revolutionary," ″self-involved and dumb," a "moron and nasty and more self-righteous than any televangelist."
Fox personalities like Carlson and Jeanine Pirro have called her "a bartender," in reference to a pre-politics job. There are also derogatory allusions to her youth, like when commentator Brit Hume said that "she's kind of adorable in sort of the way that a 5-year-old child can be adorable," according to the research.
Democrats ban Fox News from airing candidates' debates over alleged Trump ties
Asked for comment on Saturday, a Fox spokeswoman noted that Ocasio-Cortez, 29, has received plenty of media attention elsewhere, including prominent features in Time magazine, Vanity Fair, Rolling Stone and the Hollywood Reporter. Fox's Laura Ingraham — who did a segment during the six-week period questioning whether Ocasio-Cortez would have to go to jail because of an aide's alleged campaign finance violations — has invited her on her show and said she admired her political rise.
The congresswoman tweeted a link to the Media Matters research, adding the comment, "that's how hard they're fighting against dignified health care, wages and justice for all; and turning their fire power on the youngest congressional woman in history to do it.
"Too bad for them, because we don't flinch," Ocasio-Cortez wrote.
Beyond politics, Fox Business Network's Stuart Varney illustrated another reason that Fox would pay so much attention to Ocasio-Cortez.
"We have an AOC segment every day, almost every single hour," he said. "She's good for our ratings."

Denver sprang up 155 years ago when prospectors hunkered down on the banks of the South Platte river near the Rocky Mountains to pan for specks of gold. They established an unlikely future metropolis, now home to two and a half million people. When I was growing up here, Denver suffered a post-1980s oil-bust funk and seemed content with its image as a sleepy stopover. But a 90s revitalisation transformed it, making it walkable, bikeable, even kayak-able, and attracting tech companies, startups, innovative chefs and creatives.
Denver only suffers about 35 overcast days a year. Consequently, Denverites are a sunny, sincere lot, traits so characteristic that whenever I encounter a crabby person, I always ask where they're from. In Denver, happiness is a way of life: a recent Gallup poll measured Colorado second only to Hawaii in its US wellbeing index. It's little wonder we're content in Denver, with a big blue sky, devotion to outdoor exercise that floods us with endorphins, and liberal consumption of craft beer.
If you want to pretend you're a Denverite, wake early and jog around Washington Park or pedal the Cherry Creek or South Platte river cycle paths on a sturdy rental bike from one of over 40 Denver Bcycle stations. True to its reputation as a fitness mecca, Denver was the first US city to launch an extensive bike-sharing programme in 2010. Denverites love their bikes: on Wednesdays hundreds of costumed riders on tricked-out cycles take over the streets with the Denver Cruiser Ride, a roving two-wheeled hootenanny.
For lunch, head to the always-packed Pinche Tacos at 1514 York Street , where inspired fillings come wrapped in tender corn tortillas. If you're brave, try the sinus-clearing xni pec salsa, which the bartender translated as "so spicy it would make a dog sneeze". You'll leave happy, with messy fingers and spice-tingling lips.
If you're not up for additional vigorous exercise, take a culture break. The Museum of Contemporary Art Denver mounts interactive exhibits such as "Thinking About Flying", which gave visitors homing pigeons to take home and release. For Black Sheep Fridays it throws themed cocktail parties, with an air guitar workshop or a lesson in buffalo butchery.
The new Clyfford Still museum is a striking home for the work of the abstract expressionist whose paintings were rarely shown before. Concrete has never looked so light as it does in the building's delicate, latticed ceiling, permeated with oval holes, letting skylight shift over its floors of blue-tinged wood under Still's bold paintings.
The Kirkland Museum is packed with decorative art, including "futuristic" chairs from Woody Allen's 1973 movie Sleeper. Or seek your art fix on the streets: on the first Friday of each month, the Art District on Santa Fe teems with performances, upscale food trucks and art. Last November, Aztec performers wearing face paint and pheasant feather crowns danced past me down Santa Fe Drive beating hand drums, shell ankle bracelets rattling as they moved.
It's not only oxygen-deprived Denverites who think the Tattered Cover Book Store at 1628 16th Street is the best in the US: it was the only one author Neil Gaiman appeared in during his recent US tour. My friends and I visit the Tattered Cover for our Denver Literary Kidnapping and Drinking Club, attending a reading and then gently coercing the author to come drink tequila with us at Mezcal, also on East Colfax.
For live music, head 10 miles west to scenic Red Rocks, where if you've been exercising properly you can win the uphill race for front general admission seats in the stunning natural amphitheatre, site of U2's Under A Blood Red Sky concert video. Or stay in town and catch bands at a hotspot such as Hi-Dive, Meadowlark Bar, Lion's Lair (2022 East Colfax) or Bluebird Theater.
Dinner options are endless, since lots of talented chefs have migrated here. I've been feasting at Rioja for years, and in May, when the James Beard Foundation named Rioja's Jennifer Jasinski best chef in the Southwest, I thought well, it's about time. Linger serves global street food from a rehabbed mortuary in the bustling Highlands neighbourhood. Try Z Cuisine for savoury Colorado boeuf bourguignon, The Kitchen or Potager for impeccable farm-to-table fare, and The Squeaky Bean for the unexpected: "shaved torchon, dippin dots, torn crouton, currant pate de fruit" anyone?
When in Denver, always save room for beer. Denver brews more beer than any other American city, and tickets to the annual Great American Beer Festival held at Colorado Convention Center from 10-12 October sell out within minutes of going on sale (on 31 July this year).
Don't even mention weak Coors pilsner at Denver's many craft breweries. Visit the Barrel Cellar (1441 West 46th Avenue) home of the Crooked Stave Artisan Beer Project, where master brewer Chad Yakobson shows off what he learned from his degree in brewing (and distilling) at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh. Drink a Red Saison at the Black Shirt Brewing Company (3719 Walnut Street), a Yeti Stout at Great Divide (201 Arapahoe Street), or a Hello, Darkness Black IPA at River North Brewery).
If you're not used to Denver's dry air, strong sun and mile-high altitude, remember, drink half the alcohol and twice the water and bathe in sunblock. Or ignore these rules – even when tipsy you surely can remember that the mountains mark the west. And if you want to fit in, hit the hiking trails next day, hangover and all.

Observation, curiosity, authenticity: how to do social media right
I love that first moment when someone new joins the team, that first moment when you try to understand who you've got in front of you. Who are they, really? You size them up. You observe. How do they move? How do they talk? How do they act?
It's the same at the park on a Saturday or Sunday. You observe people from a distance. You're trying to catch them being themselves, being authentic, and revealing who they are. And it takes curiosity and observation help you see what they're really about.
How Moskito got social
Not so long ago if you asked me to run a social campaign I wouldn't have known what to do. Anybody can design one hit post. We're all graphic designers, so we can put an image together and write a bit of text and that's it. And we were doing that.
But run a campaign? Create a story that links one post to the next? Understand the right social media marketing tools to use? Study the results, adjust, tweak, improve and test again? That's something else.
How did we learn?
Curiosity. And observation.
You watch. You study. You try things ― technically, creatively ― and observe the results. What gets noticed. What gets clicks. What gets likes. What works best.
At the beginning it's a lot of guesswork. But that's how you start to learn.
And, when you're working with a client, you talk to the guys with the data and get the numbers.
Meanwhile you start watching other brands. What are they doing? You investigate. You pay attention.
You've just got to keep observing. Trying. Don't do it by the book. By-the-book doesn't exist with social media. There is no book. It's something new and in constant evolution. If you wrote a book on it it would be already old by the time it got published.
Learning to do social well
Here we also got some help from an expert in the field. We examined a lot of case studies and got help making sense of them.
We also learned how to measure and what it means to invest a marketing budget in social. It's not as straightforward as with a traditional advertising campaign.
What's so revolutionary about social is that you can invest in truly made-to-order target. The ability to hyper-target campaigns opens up a world of possibilities ― ironically it can be the starting point, rather than the end, for a new creative concept.
In Italy there aren't a lot of agencies doing social well. Of course some, like We Are Social, were born for just that. And they do a fantastic job of it.
But we're not trying to be like them. We take pride in offering our clients a whole range of services that complement each other. Social is one of these. And making social media management work as one integral part of an effective communication strategy is what we want to do.
And who knows. In digital marketing and communications it's hard to make any plans. We can't say what we will or won't do in the future. The only thing you can trust in is your own curiosity and openness to new things. It's the only way you'll know which road to take.
To paraphrase Italo Calvino and Carl Rogers, we are the result of a series of phases in which knowing the direction to go in is much more important than knowing your actual destination.
Before we were afraid. Now, 8 months after the first brief, we're confident. You face a new challenge, you learn, you grow. And then a new challenge comes along. A new technology. A new strategy.
Curiosity, and the ability to observe, study, and improve ― these are what will get you through.
Finding your authentic voice
To actually have a winning voice on social media, authenticity is key.
It's not the background image with the woman just so happy to be eating a salad. That screams stock photo. You take one look at that and you know it's fake. Authentic is the guy eating the burger with the big mess on his face.
Authentic is things that surprise you. Things that make you laugh. Things that involve you and pull you in.
Those everyday moments of reality. The look on the faces of the people who are late for work and just manage to squeeze into the metro as the doors close. Whoever they are, whether they're corporate managers, high school teenagers, or fashion bloggers, it's that look on their face ― the moment before they slip back into their role ― that says, "Holy shit, I can't believe I made it!" That's authentic. And everybody recognizes it.
Being authentic is about being caught without your mask on. Or choosing to pull it off, whether you're a brand or a person who works for one. You stop talking like some robot in marketing or accounting and you start talking like a person. About your real life.
Barack Obama was a great example of this. He was one of the first leaders I remember to use Twitter to talk with an authentic voice. Before the premiere of season two of House of Cards he tweeted to the world: No spoilers, please. And suddenly you imagine him there in front of the TV like you or me.
✔@BarackObama
Tomorrow: @HouseOfCards. No spoilers, please.
12:33 AM – Feb 14, 2014
41.4K people are talking about this
If the President of the United States can speak with a real, authentic voice, why not Audi? Why not Nike?
Of course, authentic can be a double-edged sword. Being authentic means some people may really love you, and other people won't like you at all.
But for too long in the world of communication there's been a really limited idea of what tone of voice can be. The idea was to have a tone of voice that offended no one. But now social media is forcing everything to be more concrete, more real.
Some brands are doing it really right. Take this one great Ford campaign for Valentine's Day. Nobody buys a car for Valentine's Day, but they still made the most of it. On Twitter, Ford actually invited other brands ― its competitors ― to an imagined Valentine's dinner.
What's radical is that they actually mentioned their competitors in their own publicity. You're not supposed to do that. You're supposed to compete with them. Pretend they don't exist. But like them? Talk with them? Invite them to dinner? That's not just not by-the-book, that's throwing the book out the window.
The crowd knows
If you ever want to restore your trust in humanity, read The Wisdom of Crowds, by James Surowiecki.
In the book it explains that if you ask somebody to look at a picture of a table and estimate its size, they'll never get it right. Nobody will, except maybe the one who designed it. But if you ask a lot of people, and take the average, the result will be pretty close to the authentic size.
And this is true on social. The crowd can figure out what's authentic. Sure, you can say there are a lot of idiots out there using social media, but there are also a lot of really clever people too. When you're working in social, if a post works, if it doesn't work, if there's something authentic there, people notice. If it's forced, or fake, you don't get much in return.
So if you've got to choose between the woman with the salad and the guy with the burger, choose the burger, every time.
Life of P
I got here 4 February, 2013. Aside from Giulia and Evelina, I was the sixth person here. The fifth arrived the day before me. I didn't realize it at the time, but we were the nucleus of Moskito.
In the interview Giulia and Evelina were really clear. There was a big client about to arrive. They had a big chunk of work, and they needed somebody ready to do it. Right away. I really appreciated how direct they were. It was a big moment. They were really motivated and determined to find the right person to hit the ground running.
Looking back, it was the moment that Moskito Design began to transform into something much different, and even though we didn't know it for sure then, it was clearly in the air.
I believe that interviews are really interviews for both people, the candidate and the hirer. When the interview ended I said, "Whatever happens, congratulations". That might sound like a sort of ass-kissing, suck-up comment but it was true. I was really impressed. I had done a lot of interviews, mostly in Milan, and everyone at those companies was absolutely miserable. Agencies that were losing clients, clients that were starting to pay less, budgets were shrinking.
But Moskito Design was clearly a universe in expansion and on the verge of something big. Happily, in the end, we both said yes.
What I know, and what I learned
We've talked a lot about professional growth and starting out young on this blog. It's true that a lot of the designers come here fresh out of design school, and they have to learn everything.
But when I came I had already spent some time at a big agency, one that worked on brand identity and signs. It was as far as you could imagine from digital commerce ― from brief to execution was a very long process ― but we were always under deadline, and I'd learned to be fast and efficient.
In terms of talking to clients, I was ready, too. Almost too much so! At the previous agency I was practically alone in the Milan office. There was my project manager, and occasionally someone to help with the graphics. I was used to operating fairly independently. But I realized that at Moskito I was maybe taking too free a hand with the clients. I learned then that I had to carry on work, and in a certain direction, that Moskito had established.
Because what I really learned here at Moskito was what it meant to have colleagues and be part of team. And it was wonderful.
I immediately discovered that these are people that become part of you. And there are other people that maybe at first you don't share much, but little by little, a project that brings you together. The challenge of meeting the deadline. Getting the feedback. It's a spark that grows into something bigger.
That's something that I learned here. And it's something I couldn't live without now.
Growing into management
I had to grow fast. Because the company started to grow.
Thank god there's a lot of us now. I remember when Giulia came to me and announced, "We're going to have to hire someone else" ― the first one after me ― and it was such a relief!
Step by step you learn to manage, and guide, people under you ― but at the beginning you don't know where to start.
You know you've got to give the brief. You know you've got to give feedback.
But you don't know how to give feedback. You don't want to be too severe. You don't want to be too nice.
Finding the right balance is difficult. Even if they're your colleagues, and you've got that great relationship I mentioned earlier.
But you learn, and eventually you get to the point where you sit back and realize that "Yes, I can do this". It starts coming naturally.
Now when I give feedback I don't second-guess myself. I don't waste that extra moment thinking should I say this, or should I say that. I say it. Authentically.
I know that the people I work with understand me.
Now I'm relaxed, even when someone new arrives.
You observe. You find out how they work. How they think. How they respond.
And you learn how best to help them manage their work and deliver the campaign.
But of course, you still have doubts. And in those moments it's great to have my colleagues and friends ― the first ones ― there to help.
Last things
Two last things. For me doing this job means finding an idea in a world that doesn't yet exist and creating the conditions for it be carried into the world of reality. To understand the first step, I recommend reading Invisible Cities by Italo Calvino. Imagination and intuitive vision. For the second step, The Art of War by Sun Tzu. Control and determination.
At Moskito Design, we're always learning.

2020 Mercedes-AMG C63 S Review: Speedy, comfortable sedan but all that glimmers isn't gold
The 2020 Mercedes-AMG C63 S is a lesson in balance - speed meets comfort, power meets easy drivability.
Photo courtesy of Mercedes-Benz
When a model wears the AMG badge, it's a signal that it is a driver's car. The 2020 Mercedes-AMG C63 S is no exception to that rule. But, driving is about more than just having a competent engine. It's in these small details where the model falters.
The looks of the C63 S are rather standard fare for a Mercedes sedan. It's smart, buttoned up, ready to take you where you want to go. It fits in nearly everywhere but doesn't quite stand out.
The profile of the model reveals a strong and confident design.Photo courtesy of Mercedes-Benz
Mercedes has installed a handcrafted AMG 4.0-liter V8 engine under the hood of the car. It produces 503 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque. That's more than plenty. When you get on the throttle, in any of the car's drive settings (Slippery, Comfort, Sport, Sport+, Individual, Race) it roars to life (more so if you push the button for the more aggressive exhaust note).
The nine-speed automatic transmission delivers smooth shifts and opting for the full paddle shifter experience is equally as smooth. What isn't smooth is the automatic stop-start functionality. Thankfully the quick push of a button on the center console turns that off ASAP.
Though the car's steering is spot on, its limited slip differential is less limited in its slip than is comforting when pulling out quickly from a stop. Off the line, it's a gem but turning the corner from a stop is another story. One could argue that getting on it in corner isn't what you're going to do on a daily basis if you own the car, but one doesn't simply buy a C63 S to take it easy.
Even when driving in Comfort mode, the driver's information display can showcase the car's power output and camber of the road. Photo courtesy of Mercedes-Benz
There's some cool features that you won't see on any model outside the Mercedes lineup in the U.S. The high beams turn on in a pattern similar to drawing back a curtain, and reveal a fantastic amount of illumination. A dial on one side of the AMG Performance steering wheel quickly and easily turns to adjust the drive mode while buttons on the other side allow you to easily adjust the suspension and exhaust.
That steering wheel comes made of half carbon fiber (from 10 to two and four to eight) while the remaining sections are covered in Dinamica suede. The suede bits are fine, but when the summer sun heats up that carbon fiber, it feels like a plasma cutter to the hands (and legs if you happen to bump it while wearing shorts).
This isn't aided at all by the air conditioning, which requires the car to be in gear and running (preferably in a forward motion) before it even thinks about dispensing cool air.
The car's seats are equal parts comfortable and sporty.Photo courtesy of Mercedes-Benz
The C-Class is a compact car. It's interior is spacious for the first row passengers but the second-row seats can get a bit squished if you're tall. The AMG Performance sport seats are comfortable enough for everyday use but also hold you tight enough that should you choose to carve some corners you won't have to worry about wiggling around in the seat.
The car's safety technology works as advertised except that the traffic sign reading function has a hard time telling the difference between 55 mph and 65 mph at night. Active Speed Limit Assist is part of the Driver Assistance Package ($1,700 upgrade) on the model and while the issue shouldn't stop you from getting the package, it's something to be aware of.
The rest of the C63 S is as expected. Handing is engaging, fuel economy isn't fantastic, and upholstery and appointments are equal parts attractive and appropriate for the car's price point.
The back end of the model is rather status quo for the company's model line.Photo courtesy of Mercedes-Benz
About that price point. The tester came in a shade over $96,000 – the base MSRP is $75,700. That's a price for someone who really wants that car. They're not in the market to comparison shop and there's nothing wrong with that.
For the price of the C63 S as tested, you can get a fairly nice Porsche 911 or a BMW M2 Competition and a vacation. The biggest advantage the C63 S has over those is a a second set of doors and a usable back row – and that is quite the advantage for many buyers.

BMW sends its V12 engine off in style
BMW will build its final V12 engine this June.
Most automakers are focused on building EVs and extracting the best fuel economy from gas engines possible, so it's not surprising to hear that BMW is pulling the plug on one of its biggest and most iconic engines. In June 2022, BMW will build its very last V12 engine for use in a super-limited-production special edition 7 Series model. The ultra-rare cars will carry a starting price of $200,995.
The last V12 will power a very special (and very expensive) 7 Series car.BMW
Only twelve lucky customers will have the option to nab a V12-powered BMW, which will be called the M760i xDrive. Displacing 6.6 liters, the twin-turbocharged beast produces a massive 601 horsepower. An eight-speed sport automatic transmission and all-wheel drive are standard. BMW says the powertrain is strong enough to push the hefty 7 Series car to 60 mph from a standstill in just 3.6 seconds.
The final-run cars will feature little more than a special "V12" badge at the rear to differentiate them from standard 7 Series models. Inside, the car features a serialized plaque with the car's production number out of the 12 units planned. The engine itself features a nameplate with "The Final V12."
Beyond the badges, BMW's 12-cylinder last-hurrah will come standard with 20-inch M double-spoke wheels, a choice of any available BMW full Merino leather color, M Sport brakes with black or blue calipers, a panoramic LED roof, remote control parking, a Bowers & Wilkins surround-sound system, and adaptive LED headlights.
Only 12 of the cars will be built, with a starting price of more than $200,000.BMW
Though it hasn't been BMW's most popular engine over the years, the V12 has been a part of the automaker's catalog for 35 years. The first 12-cylinder engine showed up in 1987, producing 295 horsepower in the original 750iL sedan.

Your tax deductible donation will help us get to the next community by covering the cost of travel & accommodations for two trips for two team members.
Once you complete the form below, you will continue to PayPal to process your donation.
The Disaster Leadership Team (the DLT) is a group of volunteer disaster leaders from across the country who have successfully led their own communities' long-term recovery. Our team of volunteers have worked disasters that have included the Joplin tornado, the largest wildfires in California and Texas history, Hurricane Sandy, and other multiple large-scale fire and flooding events.
During the long, slow recovery process, the weight of a disaster survivor's needs often weigh heavy on disaster leaders' shoulders. This is where experienced Team members come in. We bridge the gap between what needs to be done to recover and the knowledge and experience necessary for recovery to happen. Team members provide one-on-one mentorship, training, and support to communities throughout their disaster recovery to speed up the recovery process and create sustainable long-term recovery organizations (LTROs).
An LTRO brings community leaders, businesses, nonprofits and faith-based organizations together to provide support for a community's most vulnerable, individuals and families who otherwise wouldn't be able to recover on their own. The LTRO coordinates financial donations and volunteers to assure that survivors are provided the assistance necessary to recover. The Team has helped 18 disaster-affected communities by establishing or supporting LTROs in Sevier County, Tennessee, Eureka, Kansas and 16 Harvey-affected counties in Texas.
Thanks to the support of the Center for Disaster Philanthropy, OneStar Foundation and the Texas Division of Emergency Management, the Team will host its very first conference on June 11–12 in Galveston, Texas. We will bring together long-term recovery organizations from across the Harvey-affected area to talk openly about any recovery issues they face. Members of the Team will present on topics including volunteer recruitment and retention, grant writing and fundraising, emotional and mental health strategies and more. The conference will provide an opportunity for attendees to network with the Team and with each other so that hopefully in the future they will be the disaster leaders helping other communities recover.

Q: How to get top n results per group from a pool of ids in SQLAlchemy? I have two tables. The 1st represent one article per row and the 2nd represent one news_cluster per row (with an array column for all articles_id per cluster).
I need to get the 19 best news_cluster and then get the 4 best articles for each news_cluster (order by l_score column).
Currently I'm fetching all articles_id from all 19 news_cluster with SQLAlchemy and then I sort them by news_cluster and l_score with python :
all_news_obj = News.query.order_by(score).limit(19)
all_ids = sum([a_news.articles_id for a_news in all_news_obj], [])
all_articles = Articles.query.filter(Articles.id.in_(all_ids)).all()
articles_sorted = 4_best_l_score_sorted_by_cluster(all_articles)

I was wondering if there was a faster way to fetch and sort these articles and I saw that you can group by cluster (news_id) and get the top 4 l_score for each group with this psql query:
SELECT ranked.* FROM
(SELECT articles.*, rank() OVER (PARTITION BY news_id ORDER BY l_score DESC)
    FROM articles
    WHERE id = ANY(ARRAY[209146, 209140, 209154...])
) ranked
WHERE rank <=4

So it might be faster if psql handle the sorting in the first place but I have no clue how to implement this query in SQLAlchemy.

A: My question is mostly answered here : Convert rank and partition query to SqlAlchemy
I just needed to adapt it to my Articles model and add a filter to match the ids in all_ids_array :
subquery = db.session.query(
    Articles,
    func.rank().over(
        order_by=Articles.l_score.desc(),
        partition_by=Articles.news_id
    ).label('rank')
).filter(Articles.id.in_(all_ids_array)).subquery()

articles_sorted = db.session.query(subquery).filter(subquery.c.rank <= 4)

I'm a happy man : It's 0.1 second faster than fetching all articles and sorting them afterward with python.


European film movements are most clearly understood as part of the cinema of periphery in relation to popular Hollywood productions. In consideration of examples from one European country, to what extent is this an accurate view?
This essay will focus on some of the key movements in British cinema, looking at how they relate to the world of Hollywood. Firstly,I shall look at how British films have found their way into the American and world markets via the London-based company Working Title Films, and to what extent these films are integrated into the Hollywood scene. Secondly, There will be an assessment of the tradition of social realism in British cinema,including the New Wave and Brit Grit movements, and their place in international cinema. Next, I shall look at the documentary movement in British cinema, and its impact on the wider world. One of the most noticeable movements in British cinema in recent years has been the proliferation of the Working Title Films Company. Founded in London by Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner, Working Title has enhanced the profile of British cinema to an unprecedented extent. The screening of Four Weddings and a Funeral in 1994 proved a turning point in the history of British film, proving vastly popular with American audiences,and subsequent productions from Working Title have helped to cement the place of the British Blockbuster in Hollywood. In this way, British cinema has been able to produce films with international mass appeal, and it is probably fair to say that there are more mainstream British films on at the cinema now than there were fifteen years ago. However, it is important to consider that,although there has been an increase in the commercial success of British film,it is still arguably seen as a satellite of Hollywood. For instance, even successful British films are often labelled as art cinema. In an article on Shekhar Kapur's Elizabeth, Julian Hill argues that, Although it does offer entertainment through a fascinating narrative, the film as a whole is presented in a creative way, owing to the amateurish vision of Kapur. (Hill, 2000) Indeed, its relationship to Hollywood is entirely coloured by its status as an art film, and by implication, its partly British origins. Bordwell and Thompson argue that any British film of this type would be viewed as art cinema in Hollywood, as art cinema is a term, used by the US film industry to describe imported films of interest the upper-middle class, educated audiences. (Bordwell and Thompson, 1990) In this respect, British film is still marginalized in relation to Hollywood. Commercial success has been forthcoming, but the very fact that a film is British in origin leads it to be viewed in different terms to those in which a Hollywood movie is viewed. Even the big blockbusters of the Four Weddings ilk are viewed at least partly as foreign curiosities, and crucially they often try to appeal directly to an American audience, for example, containing a token American character. One area in which British cinema has perhaps demonstrated greater independence from Hollywood is in the field of so-called social realism films. There have been many movements over the different eras which fall into this category, from the New Wave cinema of the 1950s and '60s, such as Room at the Top (1958), to the what have been called Brit Grit films, like Nil by Mouth (1997), and this recurring idea of kitchen sink realism forms an important part of the British cinema tradition. Indeed,it has been suggested that all of these movements are a tradition in themselves(Thorpe, 1999, cited in Lay, 2002) It is in this area that, for many critics,the real essence of British cinema is found. It has been argued that the aesthetics of British realism are defined in terms of opposition to Hollywood spectacle. Visual and acting styles were to be restrained, the emphasis was to be on ordinary people in ordinary settings. (Cook, 1996) In this respect, British cinemais not always a mere satellite of Hollywood, as it also tries to be deliberately antagonistic towards Hollywood ideals. Unlike many of the Working Title films, with their quasi-American leanings and their use of a highly stylised Britishness, some social realism has sought to challenge this position. For example, in Trainspotting the audience is introduced to a much darker vision of Britain, and one less obviously palatable to Hollywood audiences, than that which is seen in Four Weddings and a Funeral. At first glance, one could argue that much British realism is so idiosyncratic as to be marginalized in the wider world, but films like Trainspotting and The Full Monty show that it is possible to make a film depicting ordinary British life that has mass appeal. However, although this form of cinema apparently demonstrates an indifference to Hollywood conventions, as cook notes above, it is actually not indifference but a form of rebellion. In this sense, British social realism as a part of international cinema can be seen as still subservient to Hollywood, albeit in a more subtle way than some of the other blockbusters. In order for it to be deliberately antagonistic toward the ideals of Hollywood, it is necessary that those ideals must exist,and in that sense, social realist films are peripheral to Hollywood as they fulfil the role of a counter-movement. Alongside realist fiction, a major area of British cinema is the documentary. Arguably Britain's major contribution to world cinema, its heyday was in the 1930s. The documentary movement was headed by John Grierson, and funded by the film units of the Empire Marketing Board and the General Post Office. Through landmark productions such as Housing Problems (1935), the movement used its state backing, and freedom from commerce, to highlight many of the social problems of its day, and has been identified as the first movement to have a lasting influence on the art of film (Rotha, 1972). Like the fictional forms of social realism, it demonstrated a freedom from, and to some extent an aversion to, the ideals of Hollywood. However, unlike other forms of social realism, it is often criticized for its lack of aesthetics. There was no consistent artistic theory underlying the movement; the film art was to be used as a means to apolitical end. (Guynn, 1975) In this sense, then, not only is there the consideration of the documentary movement being antagonistic to Hollywood, but also the fact that it lacks artistic drive means that it can only form part of a balanced view of cinema. The art of film making is certainly able to deliver important views and to comment on the state of the world, but it is ultimately an art, and in this aspect the documentary movement, as we have seen, was lacking. Therefore, it must necessarily be peripheral since it does not engage the full potential of its genre, rather in the way that apolitical pamphlet usually shows less artistic development than a poem or a novel. In the light of this consideration, one could view the documentary movement and its legacy as a marginal aspect of cinema - an important marginal aspect, even a necessary one, but nevertheless something that exists as a useful sub-genre and therefore is secondary to Hollywood. In conclusion, it does seem that British cinema is to some extent peripheral to Hollywood. Working Title films have in recent years brought British films into the Hollywood mainstream, but many of the films have contained an Americanised element, or have been seen as art cinema. In this way, even hugely popular British films are in a sense marginal. Social realism has provided an avenue in which British cinema has been able to shrug off Hollywood ideals in favour of showing ordinary people's lives, and many films of this type have been successful overseas. However, in rebelling against Hollywood in this way, such films can be viewed as peripheral to it in an antagonistic sense. Similarly, the documentary movement rebelled against Hollywood to some extent, and the movement's international importance is undoubted, being described as Britain's major contribution to world cinema. However, its lack of an artistic aesthetic makes it necessarily marginal in the world of cinema. Film is, at bottom, an art form, and any movement that neglects the artistic element in favour of a political message can only ever be a marginal - if important - part of the whole. British cinema then, when viewed in an international context, is always peripheral to Hollywood. It is doubtless an important part of world cinema, and has made invaluable contributions to both the art of film and to the tradition of reportage through film, but the dominance of Hollywood in the international scene means that any movement that is outside it is, as a matter of course, a comparatively minor player in world cinema.
