You Are Just Spare Parts, Aren't Ya, Bud?

Elisabeth Donnelly:
Those slang examples betray some of the show's bad habits: Like a lot of dirtbag comedies, Letterkenny can too often over-rely on immature jokes about sexuality, particularly with pastor Glen (who's played by the show's director, Jacob Tierney, and I'm not sure what that says).
It also has something of an inconsistent track record on gender stereotypes: While much of the show's comedy is rooted in finding the softness in overblown masculinity, it tends to draw women broadly, especially as sexpots. Gail, the local bartender and one of Letterkenny's few characters of color, basically has only one characteristic — that she's horny. To the show's credit, later seasons make a point to calm down some of the yowling caricatures, showing the live-and-let-live tolerance that exists in this small town.
Oh, boy. It seems the brain trust at Vox has discovered the Canadian indie comedy series Letterkenny and decided to issue one of their customary explainers. I would say the point escapes her, but that would imply it was at risk of being captured in the first place, and I fear that notion won't bear scrutiny. Let me interrupt with a little 'splaining of my own: The show is set in rural Ontario, in the fictional town of Letterkenny, population 5,000. We here at the hermitage enjoy it for its absurd, rapid-fire dialogue, and, as one of us also hails from rural Canuckistan, we appreciate the little details for being a true-to-life representation of small-town life there. It's not what I would call hilarious, but it's clever and notably quotable.
Now, to be fair (to be faihrrr) to Ms. Donnelly, the show's often-raunchy humor is largely by, and for, twenty-somethings. Lots of drinking, fighting, swearing and fornicating. Gail is indeed the most tedious character. But experienced Voxspotters could have probably already guessed the source of this excerpt because of that telltale tic—there. Did you catch it? It's as predictable as a knee jerking under a doctor's reflex hammer. Progressives just can't let their gaze rest on any scene populated by more than three people without doing a quick diversity head-count and pronouncing something to be problematic. I find it especially amusing to see her fume about Glen, the barely-closeted gay pastor (and probably my favorite character). She knows he's somehow problematic, even if she can't quite prove it, but oh, when she does, you better believe charges will be brought. Yuk it up while you can, Glen. You can only hide behind the writer/director shield for so long.
But yes, Gail is one of the show's few "characters of color," though I expect Donnelly to soon be seen in public with a placard around her neck denouncing her for the wokecrime of "erasing" the substantial native population who feature in the show, led by Wayne's sometime-girlfriend Tanis. But again, to be fair (to be faihrrr) to our intersectionality inspectors, they might not have recognized the actors as natives (or First Nations inhabitants, as they say up there), since the closest they've ever gotten to one is that time they scribbled Racist!!! on a Washington Redskins decal on the bumper of a truck in the parking garage. But I digress. My point is, as an American of pallor who just so happens to have spent several days in rural Canada just a couple weeks ago, I can say that one of the first things you notice when out in public is, well, the lack of black people. It's like suddenly becoming aware of a background hum that isn't there anymore. You walk through a big-box store and think, what seems so different here? Oh, right, it's very, very white. There are no African-Americans, or, I suppose, African-Canadians. The ones you do meet are mostly medical students directly from Africa. What are the writers supposed to do about this? Is the show supposed to be "representative" of rural Ontario or Brooklyn? How typically Ameri-centric for our Voxling to project her country's myopic obsession with perfectly-proportioned racial pie charts onto foreign communities, irrespective of their unique histories! Shall we add colonialism to the epithets on her placard?
Actually, wait, hold on a minute. We've already seen how racial separatism has become acceptable again under a progressive aegis — segregated university graduation ceremonies, "cultural appropriation" (separatism rebranded under a new name), etc. Is it time for forced resettlement to make a comeback? No, no, hear me out. If progressives march people out of the inner cities in order to repopulate and diversify rural communities, would that be for the greater good? We could call it "reverse gentrification," which would actually make it doubleplusgood. As we know, when you change the word (or the branding), you change the reality. (I can't believe I give away such good advice for free.)
Anyway, enough of that foolishness. Back to chorin'.

I was less churlish after finishing Endgame's immediate predecessor, Avengers: Infinity War, which had a rare weight among Marvel movies because alone among them it let its caped and armored heroes fail, and even saw many of them die. But that failure, the failure to stop the semi-genocidal Thanos (Josh Brolin, but purple) from wiping out half the population of the universe, was always destined to be temporary, and here we are back again for an Endgame in which the remaining superheroes will inevitably find a way to reverse the villain's victory.
I agree. Guarantees of inevitable victory and miraculous resurrection only cheapen the experience. Pathos dwells in the particular, the irreplaceable, the dissolution of individual perspective within the flow of time. Wait, are we talking about movies, or…?
It Is Not Meet That Every Nice Offense Should Bear His Comment

Romain Rolland once complained that 'there is too much music in Germany.' Today there are too many television critics in the world. Some of the finest writers of multiple generations spend most of their writing lives recapping last night's television. Is any of it really criticism, or are thousands of words agonizing over, say, Don Draper, adding up to anything more than the digital equivalent of chip wrapping?
…Imagine living in a world where Mrs Dalloway and Kubrick's Barry Lyndon exist and thinking that Game of Thrones (which is entertaining, don't get me wrong) is a work of art. Then imagine making a career out of typing up little takes about it. And then imagine this defining your career as a critic!
Critics who only write about shallow subjects will only produce shallow writing. How television became the most critically examined art form of our century remains a baffling mystery.
Even worse, imagine being an enlightened critic who has scaled the heights of True Art and nonetheless is compelled to hawk his bloggy wares in the marketplace like any other word-merchant, forced to take his cues from whatever the fishwives are yakking about today! Is there no dignity? Is there no honor? Ah, fie, fie upon't.
I've never watched Game of Thrones. However, in one of those strange twists of fate, I have seen almost all of the Marvel movies in the last few months. I didn't plan this. No, seriously, I swear on my sainted grandmother, last December, I suggested to the Lady of the House that maybe it would be fun to read Shakespeare together. Out loud, on winter evenings, sitting around the fire, and all that. Somehow — and I'm not clear on the precise details — that project morphed into me reading Shakespeare and us watching the MCU productions together. (Cue Henry Higgins singing, "But let a woman in your life…")
I kid, I kid. For me, popcorn entertainment falls under what the Stoics called "preferred indifferents." It's not something I would normally seek out, but it's not something I'll make a pretentious spectacle of refusing, either (in this case, when the movies are available for rental at the library we're already patronizing, sure, why not). I have little patience with those who stack the deck by assembling a greatest-hits compilation of artworks from the previous few thousand years, comparing it to the last few years of pop culture, and sniffing about what a tragedy it is that they should have been born in such a pigsty of an age. I'm of the more sanguine opinion that there is uplifting and ennobling work to be found in many surprising places if you work hard enough to look for it. Profound conversations about perennial themes of human nature can sprout from humble origins, like Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War, willing to sacrifice love to his "ends justify the means" vision of a grateful universe in "balance" under his enlightened oversight. Some of the Marvel movies were indeed terrible, but then again, some of Shakespeare's work doesn't recommend itself for re-reading either. That's not an endorsement of relativism in aesthetic judgment, of course, just an assertion that your antiquarian taste alone won't get you into heaven.
When we last left Mr. Lloyd, he was connecting tendentious dots to claim that Marvel movies were somehow slightly responsible for the election of Donald Trump. It may be ad hominem, but I can't help but wonder sometimes: when so many people like this come across as bitter, sour, old cranks, why am I supposed to be motivated to contemplate the things they insist I should? Whining and complaining is repulsive. Okay, so you spend your time marinating in the most sublime art ever produced. Is it because of or despite that that you appear to be a stuffy, humorless scold? I understand from reading this that Mrs. Dalloway and Barry Lyndon are the sorts of books and movies I should be enjoying if I want to be thought well of by curmudgeonly critics, but if there are good reasons for doing so, he couldn't be bothered to elaborate here. All that does is encourage the all-too-common scourge of signaling. Like CliffsNotes for social climbers, these dyspeptic rants provide cues without context. It would be far better to write a paean to the art you love rather than moaning that other people are enjoying the wrong things, but it turns out that even our moral betters are prone to finding fault rather than providing a better example. I find that one of the most tedious characteristics of conservatives, both political and literary: too much darkness-cursing, not enough candle-lighting. It's easy to get the impression that they're not lamenting wasted intellectual and imaginative potential so much as the disappearance of a cultural caste system that favored them.
There's a Reason We're Supposed to Be Afraid of This Night
October 30, 2018 By Damian in bread and circuses, foolosophy No Comments
Regrettably, the woke left doesn't have a monopoly on scrutinizing pop culture productions for convenient political messages. Kyle Smith and James Pinkerton recently cheered the new Halloween slasher movie for its supposed "conservative" message. It's a shame, not just because politics rots hearts and minds and the last thing we need is every corner and crevice of everyday life becoming politicized for ephemeral gain, but because the broader theme of the movie is far more interesting.
I decided on a whim to take a couple hours off today and go see the movie. As I said recently, I hadn't been to a theater in probably eleven years or so. But I love autumn, and I love Halloween, and it just wouldn't be the same watching the movie on TV sometime after New Year's, so off I went to partake of some seasonal spirit.
Fate hangs over the whole film like a funereal shroud. From the temporal significance (set forty years to the day after the events of the first film) to the personal (Michael Myers and Laurie Strode, both essentially frozen in time, waiting for nothing else but to meet again and resume their battle), the question that makes the film more interesting than just another scary slasher flick is that of fate: Who questions it? Who rebels against it? Who accepts it? And what are the results? Both the podcasters and the psychiatrist are obsessed with getting Myers, who hasn't uttered a sound in forty years of confinement, to speak, to explain himself. Fate, or evil, if you prefer (sometimes hard to tell the difference), of course remains silent, and goes methodically about its grim business. Whether we approach the inhuman, incomprehensible mystery of fate from a touchy-feely desire to master it and render it harmless, or whether we seek to ingratiate ourselves to it by becoming cold and remorseless ourselves, we inevitably fail. In this particular tragic tale, both types come to a gruesome end. Only those who accept fate and meet it on its own terms stand a chance.
Dark thoughts for a dark time of year. Happy Halloween.
Who Cares What Picture We See?

Whereas once I was at least a movie-a-week moviegoer, I now see, apart from movies shown on television, six or eight or at most ten movies a year. Sweet but unserious music, elegant food, lovely movies — these are among the shaded water holes in the desert of life; and now one of them is drying up. I find myself filled with resentment.
— Joseph Epstein, "The End of Moviegoing," The Middle of My Tether
I recently had cause to reflect on the last time I saw a movie in a theater, and as far as I remember, it was the Simpsons movie in 2007. I went at the invitation of a younger relative whom I rarely see; dinner and a movie are her preferred means of catching up. Before that, I'm not sure — I saw the Blair Witch Project in 1999, but I can't recall being in a theater again in the intervening eight years. Like many people, I've just never really enjoyed the theater experience.
But it's not just a matter of preferring to watch movies on my own TV at home with my own snacks in my own chair, either. I think the last time I rented a DVD was in early 2009, Guy Ritchie's RocknRolla. I watched a few series through Netflix over the next couple of years, like Oz, The Wire, Six Feet Under and The Mighty Boosh, but I let that subscription expire a long time ago. As for watching TV shows, I've always been hopelessly behind the times. I love Scrubs, which I discovered late, of course, but I've never seen an episode of Friends, Seinfeld, or Sex and the City. In recent years, I've completely ignored Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad, and True Detective. Needless to say, perhaps, the Emmys and the Oscars are completely irrelevant to me. The Lady of the House occasionally enjoys silly comedies like The Librarians, so I did sit through that series with her ("this makes Firefly look like The Wire," I said), and we watched the DVDs of the movies starring Noah Wyle after finding them at a library sale. Similarly, we watched a few Christopher Guest films one holiday weekend a couple years ago, and we've lately enjoyed the web series Letterkenny. "Seen any good shows lately?" is not a useful conversation-starter around here. Most of my TV and film references are of '80s and early '90s vintage.
It's not that I'm ideologically opposed to movies and films; it's just that books and music are my preferred means of filling leisure time, which is hard to come by. There's simply no room to fit a few hours of screen-staring in there, and no real motivation to try. Tom Wolfe wrote that movies replaced the novel as "the great naturalistic storytelling medium of the late twentieth century" as fiction writers renounced naturalism and disappeared into their minimalist navels and up their magical realist colons. Perhaps I'm just old-school, preferring my intense storytelling via the printed page? Alas, no, I'm just as deficient there — I never read Steinbeck, Dos Passos, or Hemingway; I never mingled with Balzac, Zola or Tolstoy; I only acquainted myself with Dickens, Faulkner and Fitzgerald long enough to complete school assignments. Almost all of my reading is non-fiction. I apparently prefer my sense-making of the world to come via descriptive, rather than imaginative, prose. I do enjoy Tolkien-esque fantasy novels for entertainment (but, uh, I never actually read any of Tolkien himself, nor, um, did I see the famous films). Am I culturally autistic, or just a philistine?

For a multitude of causes, unknown to former times, are now acting with a combined force to blunt the discriminating powers of the mind, and, unfitting it for all voluntary exertion, to reduce it to a state of almost savage torpor. The most effective of these causes are the great national events which are daily taking place, and the increasing accumulation of men in cities, where the uniformity of their occupations produces a craving for extraordinary incident, which the rapid communication of intelligence hourly gratifies. To this tendency of life and manners the literature and theatrical exhibitions of the country have conformed themselves.
— William Wordsworth, Preface to Lyrical Ballads
There was an absurd piece making the rounds on social media the other day, written by a women's studies professor (of course), which claimed that the recent SpaceX launch was just another example of patriarchy in action, because isn't it just like men to think they can use up resources here before nonchalantly heading off into space to despoil virgin frontiers with their phallic rockets, etc. You can find eye-rolling material like that every day, of course; the only thing that was even slightly eyebrow-raising at all about this was that it was published by nbcnews.com. One of the people retweeting it commented that this was more proof that toxic intersectionality doesn't stay confined to undergrads on campus, but leaks out and pollutes the groundwater of mainstream society too.
Typically, though, when we talk about the threat of campus radicalism to social norms, we picture it as the work of committed ideologues. While there are certainly plenty of earnest preachers of the intersectional gospel, one can't help but notice that there are some rather more prosaic factors involved in broadcasting — normalizing, if you will — the message to a wider audience. The structure of online media incentivizes a race to publish inflammatory garbage for easy clicks, and the jaded boredom of an audience which "craves extraordinary incident" acts in concert with "rapid communication" to turn grotesque deformations of intelligent, thoughtful conversation into "great national events." Hardly anyone involved in creating this climate of ridiculous opinion needs to be a true believer, but we all have to live under it regardless.
If, indeed, social media is to bad ideas what the first cities were to infectious diseases, one simple solution would be for far more people to stop carelessly coughing and sneezing. Ironic amusement can be just as much of a vector as ideology for spreading asinine notions. Intellectual bacteria don't care why they get passed from host to host as long as they do. Wash your hands before linking or retweeting.
The Sigh of the Oppressed Creature

There are many things to laugh at in this Marxist rant about the counter-revolutionary wrongthink of Pokemon Go, but after some tough deliberation, I think this has to be my favorite part:
The map of your neighborhood you see when you play the game is a GPS map, something originally designed to help steer guided missiles.
It's just so…so…mwah!… so gratuitous, so out of the blue! I mean, you expect to see theoretical jargon, you expect to see references to Marx and Heidegger, and you expect, oh my Lord do you expect to see the writer fuming about the way in which the bovine masses prefer their false consciousness and commodity fetishism to their revolutionary potential, but nothing so perfectly paints a picture in words of the futile pounding of tiny, ineffectual fists as this little aside. It's like he had a sudden attack of self-awareness, realized the absurdity of being forced to labor in the clickbait factory while holding onto a faint hope of salvation through a discredited religion, and made one last, desperate attempt, through some kind of Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon-logic, to halfheartedly fling some shit against the walls of the system in the hope that something finally sticks. Yeah, man, I was ready to write you off as just another doctrinaire leftist with all that talk about changing the experience of reality from alienation to liberation, but that point about GPS, man, that really made me think, you know?
Fix It with Your Tiny Fist There

FdB:
But where is the prescriptive element? I mean, I get that Ramsey wants white Americans to rise up and work to fix things. But how does he propose that we actually inspire them to do so? Sure, it should be enough to show them the reality to provoke them to fight for change. But should is a word of remarkably little relevance in the real world. 50 years after the most important Civil Rights legislation, it seems obvious that just pointing out that our society is unjust is not enough to provoke the white majority to create change.
In other words, the piece recounts in exacting detail a political problem but does nothing to establish a political solution. It begs for a next step– "here's what I would do to convince white Americans to get on board with a political movement against racial inequality"– that it never takes. And in not taking that next step, it falls perfectly into line with the general, bizarre trend, the trend to say "it's not the job of oppressed people to educate you." Really? Then whose job, exactly, is it? I hear that all the time, and I find it such a bizarre attitude for self-described activists to take. To call yourself an activist is precisely to say "It is my job to educate you." Change is active by its nature. The status quo doesn't need activists. Change requires that you make it your job. So where's the political strategy? I don't pretend that it would be obvious or easy– in fact I think it'll be incredibly hard– but, well, 200 years ago you could buy people, and the ability to do so was deeply embedded in the economy. Things can change, but you've got to make them happen and you have to motivate people who aren't inherently predisposed to be motivated in order to do so.
Freddie is asking rhetorical questions, of course. He's patiently trying to lead some incredibly stupid horses to water. I, on the other hand, don't believe that these particular horses actually want to drink. That bumper sticker image up above (courtesy of Tom Tomorrow) perfectly encapsulates what they're all about. The "political" twitosphere is nothing more than a bunch of people complaining that "somebody should do something about this, that and the other fucked-up thing!" Not them, of course. They've already done their part by writing a multi-part tweet that went viral, dintjasee? They're the "ideas" crew. They just want to heave the ball of their righteous wisdom down the online lane and watch all the opponents of progress scatter like pins.
That's why I put "political" in scare quotes. These people are not activists, they just play them online. They're the political equivalent of Monday-morning quarterbacks. Real activists are far too busy with the never-ending, thankless hard work required to make actual political change happen in a world where, honest to God, believe it or don't, three-quarters of the inhabitants don't even use Twitter, let alone know that some celebrity totally won the Internet with their post about gun control in the wake of another mass shooting (which continue apace despite near-unanimous opposition on social media, strangely enough). They don't have time to waste on social media posturing and performing for several hours a day.
Don't get me wrong; I'm not condemning a tabloid site like Gawker for failing to draft intelligent policy proposals, as if they're capable or willing. They're only playing their role as the cool kids' table in the social media cafeteria, just as they were designed. I'm merely underlining the point that the "political" web exists almost entirely for signaling and venting, nothing more. It's a way for people to yell at their TV in public. As Freddie keeps saying, if you want to win enough support for unpopular ideas to turn them into policies and laws, it's suicidal to act as if the truth and righteousness of your position is self-evident, and if your opponents can't see that, well, it sucks to be as stupid as them. And yet, that's the attitude you see displayed time and again. Even at a more intellectual site devoted to the history of ideas, where you might reasonably expect a post titled What Is The Left, Anyway? to offer up a more substantial vision of what it even means to be a leftist today, you get this kind of vapid rambling, where empty snark is about as close to a serious point as you come.
If you want to put your politics into action, put the computer to sleep and go find some activist groups in your area to get involved with. Spend your free time and weekends working with them. Or go find people who don't already agree with you, but are at least reasonable enough to converse with, and try to sway them to your way of thinking. Any of those things would be more meaningful than sitting on your ass reading yet another post about how awful and stupid your opponents are. What are you going to do with that information? Vote for Democrats? You were doing that already! Vote even harder for Democrats? Please. The "political" web is just another form of entertainment for people who are too status-conscious to be seen keeping up with the Kardashians.

Sady Doyle:
Being a Kanye West defender in 2015 is a thankless task. Yeezy makes it hard: he's frequently offensive and (I'm told) deeply unlikable. He's been called arrogant, narcissistic, materialistic, pretentious, rude, insensitive, and insane. But this is exactly why I like him.
Kanye West keeps making points that are more or less correct. But to avoid engaging with those points, the media draws focus onto his personality. We call him a crazy man so that we don't have to hear what he's saying.
Kanye can mess up. Feminism, particularly, tends to be something he stumbles over. While he very vocally defends Kim and Beyonce from all critics, he also portrays women in his songs as sexual territory to be claimed in battles between men ("I'll fuck your Hampton spouse / come on her Hampton blouse," etcetera). His most recent comments about his ex, model Amber Rose, are a good example of how Kanye can slut-shame and objectify with the worst of them. I should be outraged. I am disappointed. But where some may see irredeemable misogyny, I see something more like human complexity. Admittedly, being a white woman flavors my reactions. As a man of color, Kanye is both privileged and oppressed.
If you are political in public, you too will experience some tiny fraction of what it is to be Kanye. Everyone who writes about oppression online knows the baiting, the casual abuse, and the desire for something your enemies can use to craft an unflattering narrative. Feminists online are subjected to such harassment that many are beginning to retire. You know who hasn't retired? Kanye West has never once been shut up by public disapproval, although the public has disapproved of him, loudly, for over a decade.

Q: presentViewController showing blank image despite Storyboard modifications After capturing image, inside didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo I'm trying to presentViewController to another UIViewController which has some buttons and labels already configured on the storyboard. But it is just showing up as blank.

I ran tests by printing stuff from the destination UIViewController's viewDidLoad() and am able to see the test statements being printed. So the control is reaching the desired UIViewController but nothing is being displayed on the screen.
However, when changes are being made to the background view color from code (NOT the storyboard), only the background color covers the screen and shows up. None of the UI elements added from storyboard shows up. Please help me. Thank you.

A: It's because when you create it like this it's not created from the Storyboard. You need to reference it by ID in the Storyboard and load it that way.

Ever since I can remember, I have had this hidden desire to be a 'cool' guy.
Just admitting it publicly feels embarrassing, but its the truth.
As young as age five, I felt a strong desire to be popular, to be a part of the group of kids running around the neighborhood causing mischief.
I can't explain my fascination with fitting in, but it was always there, guiding my actions.
Unfortunately for me, I somehow always fell short. I was never really accepted by the popular kids, and always lived on the periphery.
Maybe I was just too quiet, too intelligent, too weird. I was never good at sports, never popular with girls, never a leader among my peers.
Whatever the true reason, I never quite fit the bill when it came to being a 'cool' kid.
As I grew into a teenager, I tried different approaches to change this. I tried to be fashionable, then counter-culture, then ironically detached, then counter-counter-culture. Alas, none of it really gave me that feeling of acceptance.
That was 20 years ago, and you'd think that time changes you. Yet that desire remained.
Up until very recently the need was still hidden deep down inside me. No matter what I did, there was a part of my subconscious that was guided by the desire to be viewed as someone who was revered and respected.
I guess it really comes down to my need to fit in. To be loved.
Despite my previous post about breaking the mold, I still have my deep desires to be part of the group of kids running around causing mischief. Except that these days my 'mischief' is a desire for success and status.
Yes, I know you feel the same. I know because as human beings none of us ever really have it all together. We do our best to hide inside a persona, but we are all shitting ourselves on the inside. Hoping nobody ever finds out that we aren't really what we're pretending to be.
What I've realized in the past few months is that this is a gift.
As soon as we admit we aren't 'cool' we are suddenly free. Free from the need to be like the people we want acceptance from. Free to be ourselves.
When we admit weakness, we give others courage to be themselves. I don't mean that we should dwell forever in a pity party, but that by being honest and vulnerable, we show the world we are willing to be who we really are.
For me, its time I let go of the ridiculous notion that I will someday be a 'cool' guy.
Because I am faking myself if I try to be.

The Bad and the Beautiful (1952)
November 26, 2014 Todd Morgan 1950's, 8 Stars, Decade, Directors, Drama, Genre, Kirk Douglas, Lana Turner, Ratings, Top Actors, Top Actresses, Vincente Minnelli 0
A solid and entertaining movie with some big stars and some dramatic moments that gives us an interesting message that people are not as good as we think and not as bad either. This is a powerful movie that doesn't rise to the level of "All About Eve" or "Sunset Boulevard" but it is a great movie none the less.
Vincent Minnelli is a great director and his films have great camera work, emotional performances, and roller coaster scripts…this movie delivers some good surprises.
Probably the strongest thing this movie has to offer is some really great acting performances and some great chemistry between lovers.
Kirk Douglas does his normal passionate and shrewd performance.
Lana Turner is sexy and full of self sabotaging behavior…she always gives an incredible performance and this one is no different.
Gloria Grahame won an academy award even though she has a very limited part, but she has some memorable moments as a bubbly and funny wife of a writer.
AN INTERESTING MORAL MESSAGE
I came away from this movie feeling that it gives an interesting moral message…some people are shrewd in business sometimes stepping on other people's toes, some have demons and destructive behaviors, and some people are just bad, but those same people have many, many times when they have been generous and loving and helpful.
We all can ALL try to see the good in people even though some people are hard to deal with and at times heartless and nasty…
This movie is worth seeing…I rated it an 8 out of 10–It delivers an interesting take on the sometimes cutthroat take on a Hollywood.

Battle of the bog is no contest
Bob Collins May 25, 2018, 7:54 AM May 25, 2018
The battle between humans and nature is no contest so far in Legionville, Minn., where a wayward bog clearly intends to make the beach at Legionville School Safety Patrol Training Center its permanent home.
A week or so ago, the bog, which floated its way to the beach last fall, toyed with a flotilla of boaters who thought they could lasso the island and tow it away.
Plan B — or C, or E, or J; we've lost track — is to treat it like a Minnesota dessert; slice it up until there's just a microscopic piece left. Then just leave it for someone else to take.
That's not going all that well, either, the Brainerd Dispatch says.
On Thursday, volunteers tried to move a small piece, but the bog was having none of it.
"We got it moved some, but we didn't have enough boats," Kevin Martini of the state Department of Natural Resources tells the Star Tribune. "Not all our volunteers showed up. So we didn't get it moved out to where we wanted it, and out of there."

The bog is fun stuff, but my question is about a camp for school patrol staff. It smells fishy. Is it just for kids, or are adults there too? Who selects whom to go? Sometimes these things end up being essentially for the families of people in the know.
Yes, owly today.
http://mnlegion.org/html/about-legionville.html

I attended Legionville between 5th and 6th grade because I was selected to be a co-captain of my school's Safety Patrol. We learned traffic and pedestrian safety, whistle and flag skills, how to talk to grownups who are not following the rules and much more. We also spent a lot of time on that beach.
American Legion Posts all over Minnesota support the camp. And schools that have a Safety Patrol send kids to this camp free of charge. It was a great experience.
Same here. It was a nice way of instilling responsibility in young kids, though it seemed pretty nerdy too. I'm especially grateful as that was the one and only time I was able to attend a summer camp growing up!
Mike Worcester
I also attended Legionville (a few years ago 🙂 ). To attend I had to apply, write an essay, interview, and prove that I would be an effective School Patrol leader. It was a good experience.
We also learned how to properly care for the American flag. With help, I can fold the flag into a perfect triangle. And have done so on many occasions after watching someone carry the flag in a crumpled mess.
I love watching nature put up this kind of fight. It shows how humans are just a small part of this planet and we can't just assert our will on everything. It's my favorite story since the vegan wedding lawsuit. http://www.startribune.com/vegan-wedding-dinner-leaves-bad-taste-for-twin-cities-couple/467734113/

What they need to try next is have someone figure a way to rig a large number of small motors to the bog (or piece of bog) itself. Then you fire 'em all up and the tow boat provide the steering and bog propels itself!


As Washington's influence in the world and the Middle East wanes, Gulf countries are weaning themselves from their traditional orientation toward and dependence on the United States. America's post-war political and economic supremacy in the region is now threatened as a result of its own foreign policy, but equally so by the rise in importance of the emerging powers. No country has capitalized on the shifting landscape more than China, which has, consistent with its actions globally, moved assertively to strengthen its ties with the Gulf region generally and in particular with its most important economic and political power, Saudi Arabia.
From the Chinese perspective, energy security lays at the heart of the bilateral relationship with Saudi Arabia, as has been the case with many of China's most important strategic relationships over the past decade. China has adopted a multi-tiered foreign policy designed to acquire and secure long-term energy supplies by diversifying its sources of oil and gas, engaging in 'energy diplomacy,' and establishing energy reserves. With the world's largest oil reserves, Saudi Arabia was bound to play an important role in Chinese energy policy.
The Kingdom demonstrated its intention to adopt an independent approach to global affairs more than 20 years ago by holding talks between the former Soviet Union and Afghan rebels in 1988. China and Saudi Arabia signed a Memorandum of Understanding and opened commercial offices in each other's countries that year as well, which led to the formal establishment of diplomatic bilateral ties. Their relationship has steadily grown since then. Just as China has been vociferous in its pursuit of a deeper relationship with the region, Saudi Arabia has been the most assiduous in the region in cultivating a stronger relationship with China. For this reason, Saudi Arabia has, since 9/11, been perceived with some suspicion by America – even during the Bush years. King Abdullah's first foreign visit upon assuming the throne was to China. And President Hu has paid two visits to Saudi Arabia in the span of three years.
Saudi Arabia cast its eye on Asia with greater fervor over the past decade, recognizing that Japan's thirst for oil, combined with China's and India's economic growth and increasing influence in the global economy, meant that Asia will eventually replace North America and Europe as the largest consumer of Saudi oil. In 2009, Saudi oil exports to the U.S. fell to 989,000 barrels per day – the lowest level in 22 years, and down by a third from 2008. By contrast, Saudi oil exports to China doubled between 2008 and 2009 to more than a million barrels per day. The Kingdom now supplies a quarter of all of China's oil imports. The economic importance of each country to the other cannot therefore be exaggerated.
A substantial boost in Chinese exports to Saudi Arabia occurred after 2000, when Chinese products became more price-competitive. As a result of rising oil prices in the early part of the last decade, Saudi Arabia's appetite for Chinese products rose dramatically. Between 2002 and 2004, Saudi imports from China jumped by 160 percent – a growth rate not matched by any other country during this period in value terms. In 2006 Chinese President Hu declared a desire to boost bilateral trade between the two countries to SR150 billion by 2010. By 2008 Saudi exports reached SR116 billion and imports from China reached SR40 billion, when the volume of oil exported by the Kingdom to China reached 720,000 barrels per day.
China's oil demand is expected to grow by nearly one million barrels per day over the next two years, with its overall oil consumption having nearly doubled between 2000 and 2009 (to 8.5 million barrels per day). China will account for one third of global oil consumption in 2010. So while China's oil consumption is still only half that of the U.S. (at 18.5 million barrels per day), Saudi Arabia knows that it is only a matter of time until China will become the top consumer. The Kingdom is reorienting its foreign and energy policy to become consistent with that eventuality.
The Kingdom is already China's largest trading partner in the greater Middle East, and China is Saudi Arabia's fourth-largest importer and fifth largest exporter in general. Chinese industrial products are increasingly replacing western goods in Saudi markets, which is impacting Saudi attitudes regarding the relative importance of China – and therefore the West – in long-term strategic relations. If China signs a free trade agreement with the GCC, China's perceived importance to the entire region will grow.
The truth is that many in the GCC have grown tired of U.S. pressure on fighting terrorism and perceived U.S. interference in domestic affairs. Many Gulf states find their burgeoning relationship with China refreshing, in that China — which itself objects to perceived U.S. interference in its domestic affairs — tends not to do the same with its trading partners. But China's cordial relationship with Gulf States is not without sensitivities. In particular, China's repression of Muslims in Xinjiang Province has complicated its political dialogue with states in the region. Religious activists in the Gulf are bound to draw parallels between Xinjiang, Gaza, and Kashmir. Ultimately, the strength of the region's economic relations with China will dominate its political relations with China, and any disagreements over state political policy will take a back seat to ensuring that regional and bilateral relations remain cordial and on the right track.
Presuming that the acquisition of oil remains central to China's economic and foreign policy, it will not be long before China will want to take its relationship with Saudi Arabia to another level. It will want to transform its relationship from that of a somewhat bashful suitor toward a more formal engagement. To do so, it must choose between working within the confines of the post-War diplomatic landscape crafted by the United States, or challenging that order in bold fashion. Doing so would break the century-long dominance America and its allies have had on Gulf diplomatic relations and enable China to truly begin to mold its bilateral and regional relations in its own image. This choice may come sooner than China, or the West, may imagine, for China's political power has in many respects already outstripped its economic power – something pundits tend not to focus on. For example, China has unleashed a fiscal and diplomatic tidal wave in an effort to secure economic resources in Africa for the better part of a decade.
But would this be something China actually seeks? Breaking the status quo ante and undoing a century of history and influence would entail enormous effort in terms of persuasion, fiscal largesse, influence peddling, and relationship building. Africa was a relatively easy nut to crack – most African nations need the money and infrastructure China has provided, and are drawn to China simply by the fact that it has pursued a relationship with them. But the Gulf does not need China's money, or its infrastructure, and is not generally so easily accommodating to such overtures.
So what would China need to do to accomplish a similar feat in the Gulf? It would need to replace the security umbrella the U.S. has so carefully crafted over the past 60 years. This is clearly not something that will be easily achieved – if it can be achieved at all. China is not a global naval power-although Beijing is building its capabilities in that regard – through the protection of international shipping against Somali pirates right off the shore of Saudi Arabia from the Red Sea. But it has projected its military power in the Gulf since the 1980s through missile proliferation and arms sales. Saudi Arabia purchased intermediate range CSS-2 missiles from China in 1988, raising suspicion at the time about the Kingdom's nuclear ambitions. China met an important strategic need for the Kingdom that America would not agree to meet. The U.S. has continued to measure its military support for the Kingdom with its strategic imperatives for Israel – something China has not and will not do.
Chinese behavior in the Gulf is primarily driven by two potentially contradictory factors. One is China's newly-found status as a 'stakeholder state' favoring regime stability. But this is somewhat inconsistent with China's tendency to elbow its way into relationships it deems important, and its history of dictating the terms on which it will address topics of critical perceived importance. China is also still finding its footing on the global stage, and at times clumsily manages bilateral relations. The other is the Chinese quest for energy in light of its economic explosion, the opportunistic pursuit of which may lead China to have a destabilizing influence in the Gulf. Saudi Arabia has hinted that it may increase oil shipments to China in times of military crisis, which could prompt China to overstep its reach in the Gulf, and elsewhere.
For now, Saudi Arabia will keep a foot in both the American and Chinese camps, judging that its own long-term interests are well served by maintaining the comparative advantages offered by both nations. That said, the pendulum is clearly shifting toward the Chinese camp. In time, as the Kingdom's economic ties grow firmer with China, their military relationship will expand. As China's military power comes to match its political and economic power globally, it will become Saudi Arabia's strongest military ally. However, a potential roadblock stands in the way-the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO). If the SCO brings Iran, from observer to member status, then the calculus may change as Beijing, and Moscow, arrive at the Gulf through a Persian doorway.
Overall, China's strong trading relations with Saudi Arabia, and its bitterest rival – Iran — predate the Iraq war, but the new geo-strategic landscape created by Iraq, Iran, and AFPAK, has changed the dynamics of the relationships. With Saudi Arabia unhappy about the effects of U.S. policy in Iraq and quietly seeking ways to loosen the U.S. stranglehold over it — and with Iran keen to shore up support against potential U.S. aggression as it presses its case for nuclear capabilities as it prepares to fill the vacuum anticipated in Iraq after a U.S. withdrawal — both countries have an interest in cultivating the Chinese connection. At the same time, China has been actively pursuing its energy interests within Iraq, and specifically in the Kurdish region with policies apparently boosting Kurdish separatism. China is quickly becoming the regional power that Riyadh recognized more than two decades ago.

Iatrogeen (van het Oudgriekse iatros = arts en -geen = gemaakt door) is de wetenschappelijke term voor veroorzaakt door medische handelingen.

Het is aan artsen al sinds de oudheid bekend dat hun handelen naast goede ook vaak nadelige effecten op de patiënt kan hebben en het medisch jargon is dan ook rijk aan aforismen die daarop wijzen: in dubio abstine (bij twijfel niets doen), primum non nocere (het belangrijkst is geen schade te berokkenen).

Voorbeelden van iatrogene schade:
 schade door gemiste, te late of inadequate diagnostiek
 schade ten gevolge van ernstige bijwerkingen van medicijnen zoals in de geruchtmakende gevallen van DES en Softenon
 het overbrengen van besmettelijke ziekten door bloedtransfusies
 psychische schade door het (foutief) stellen van de diagnose van een ernstige aandoening
 stigmatisering van sommige groepen ten gevolge van de medicalisering van maatschappelijke problemen
 het afdoen van onbegrepen klachten als psychisch of modeziekte zoals in het geval van multiple sclerose gebeurd is
 schade door medische fouten zoals door het mislukken van operaties of behandelingen

Andere door medische handelen veroorzaakte aandoeningen zijn onder meer Keratitis bullosa, iatrogene pneumothorax, tardieve dyskinesie ten gevolge van medicijngebruik en de iatrogene variant van de ziekte van Creutzfeldt-Jakob.

ESO Telescope Reveals What Could be the Smallest Dwarf Planet Yet in the Solar System
Astronomers using ESO's SPHERE instrument at the Very Large Telescope (VLT) have revealed that the asteroid Hygiea could be classified as a dwarf planet. The object is the fourth largest in the asteroid belt after Ceres, Vesta and Pallas. For the first time, astronomers have observed Hygiea in sufficiently high resolution to study its surface and determine its shape and size. They found that Hygiea is spherical, potentially taking the crown from Ceres as the smallest dwarf planet in the Solar System.
