This movie might be a good one, I’ve just seen the trailer and liked it. The trailer gives you the reason of the plot. They have the guts to mention the police vs black people problem and dare to curse on film.
THREE BILLBOARDS OUTSIDE EBBING, MISSOURI is a darkly comic drama from Academy Award winner Martin McDonagh (IN BRUGES). After months have passed without a culprit in her daughter’s murder case, Mildred Hayes (Academy Award winner Frances McDormand) makes a bold move, painting three signs leading into her town with a controversial message directed at William Willoughby (Academy Award nominee Woody Harrelson), the town’s revered chief of police. When his second-in-command Officer Dixon (Sam Rockwell), an immature mother’s boy with a penchant for violence, gets involved, the battle between Mildred and Ebbing’s law enforcement is only exacerbated.

The Falcon 8X has extra range—due to an additional center-fuselage fuel tank and a lighter, redesigned wing compared to the Falcon 7X. The reworked wing also keeps the 8X competitive on short runways; it needs 5,880 feet to take off fully loaded but can stop in 2,245 feet.
The Pratt & Whitney Canada PW307D engines have been optimized offering an increase in thrust with lower emissions. The 8X has a cabin altitude of just 3,900 feet at a cruising altitude of 41,000 feet. The 8X has a service ceiling of 51,000 feet
As of June 2022, 12% of the Falcon 8X aircraft were purchased pre-owned by their current owners, the other 88% new, and there are no Falcon 8X for sale on the pre-owned market.
Unveiled in May 2014, the latest addition to the growing Falcon business jet family entered into service in October 2016 after receiving both EASA and FAA certifications in June 2016.
There are currently 81 Falcon 8X aircraft in operation today. All of those (81) are wholly owned. 3.7% are currently leased. Europe has the largest percentage of wholly owned Falcon 8X aircraft (59%), followed by North America (16%) and Asia (13%).

(Northampton, MA) – David Narkewicz has been sworn in to his second term as Mayor of Northampton. Speaking to a large crowd at the Senior Center Monday night Narkewicz thanked the residents of Northampton, outlined his accomplishments and spoke of the challenges that lie ahead.
Narkewicz said since he took office two years ago, the city is more financially stable, greener, and more technologically advanced. He said financial issues will continue to dog the city as long as state aid formulas remain outdated and localities are limited in their ability to raise revenues locally.
He said he’s tightened internal controls over spending, merged departmental functions, and crafted multi-year contracts with the city’s 14 unions. He said transferring municipal health insurance to the state’s GIC program resulted in historic cost savings. He pointed to the advent of passenger rail to the region, to the upcoming redevelopment of the Three-County Fairgrounds, and to a number of green initiatives including the preservation of 500 acres of open space. Narkewicz said new construction in the pipeline will bring 1.26-million in new tax revenues when completed.
He thanked voters for passing a proposition two-and-a-half override last year which helped replenish the city’s reserve funds and maintain its strong credit rating. Narkewicz said the biggest issue now facing Northampton is paying for storm water management and flood control. A proposal currently before the City Council would fund those big-ticket infrastructure items by charging property owners based upon the amount of impervious surface on their land. Storm water and flood control are on the agenda because of new mandates from the EPA and the Army Corp of Engineers. Narkewicz called upon the Council to vote yes on the proposed stormwater utility and send it to his desk as soon as possible.
Narkewicz will be the first mayor to serve a four-year-term as outlined in the city’s new charter adopted in 2012.
In addition the School Committee, City Council and other officials were sworn in last night. Judge Michael Goggins served as the Master of Ceremonies, the invocation was delivered by Rabbi Justin David, and the National Anthem was performed by the Northamptones, an a-capella choral group from Northampton High School.

Protests impacting Kenya’s healthcare sector: KMPDU expresses concerns
The ongoing anti-government protests in Kenya have taken a toll on the country’s healthcare sector, leading to an increase in the number of patients seeking emergency care, according to the Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Union (KMPDU).
The lobby group has expressed serious concerns over the impact of these protests on the already overwhelmed health centers.
KMPDU Secretary General, Davji Atella, condemned the actions of the police, stating that their actions during the protests have resulted in injuries that require medical attention.
Consequently, hospitals are grappling with an influx of patients, stretching their limited resources even further.
“The demonstrations have caused injuries that end up in the hospitals that are already overwhelmed. We want to condemn the actions of the police causing a lot of these cases,” Atella asserted.
The situation is exacerbated by the lack of essential drugs and manpower in the healthcare facilities.
Atella lamented that the government’s inadequate investment in the healthcare sector has left hospitals ill-equipped to handle the surge in patients, leading to a rise in fatalities.
“The hospitals that these patients end up in lack drugs and manpower because the government has not invested in healthcare. Hence, we end up with a lot of deaths from these injuries,” he added.
KMPDU has reported that the disruptions caused by the protests have forced some healthcare facilities to shut down, further limiting access to healthcare services for the public.
A statement released by the union highlighted the potential consequences of reduced accessibility to healthcare services, warning that the timely treatment and management of diseases and conditions could be severely affected, potentially endangering lives.
In addition to the impact on patient care, KMPDU has expressed serious concerns for the safety of its members and support staff.
With medical practitioners facing threats and attacks, the fear of violence has led to fears of understaffing, which could further compromise the delivery of essential medical services.
The union is calling for authorities to ensure the safety of healthcare professionals and to address the underlying issues behind the protests. They stress the urgency of resolving the situation to prevent further harm to both the healthcare sector and the general public.

Pumpkin Apple Peach Jam Recipe!
This looks fab. Its a great way to use up all the pumpkins I have in the garden 🙂
Recently the St. Jacob’s farmers market in Waterloo had a terrible accident and burnt down and all I could think about is the loss of my PUMPKIN APPLE JAM.
You might think this is a weird combination but it is truly a perfect array of cinnamon and spice that seasons the pumpkin to perfection.
So I derived this recipe from Eeny’s Universe: (http://eenysuniverse.blogspot.ca/2011/11/pumpkin-and-apple-make-great-couple.html)
But added in my own touch of modification to fit the ontario peaches that I had left over from the market!
For 8 jars (200ml):
- 850 g pumpkin (peeled and cut you should end up with 650 g pumpkin)
- 750 g apples (600 g peeled end cut) – About 6 apples

Wheelie bins will be rolled out for thousands of homes across Northampton by end of year
Approximately 3,000 homes and flats across Northampton could be moved onto fortnightly wheelie bin collections over the next few weeks.
Northampton Borough Council says it earmarked thousands of properties across the town as having room to store wheeled bins and is ready to roll out the new service by Christmas.
Which homes will receive the new bins and service will be revealed to each household "in due course".
Details of collections days will also be communicated directly to each property via a service leaflet, which will be delivered on the same day as the new bins.
The chosen homes will receive a black bin for general waste, a blue-lidded bin for dry recycling and a brown bin for garden waste. The bins will be collected fortnightly.
The council claims the change to wheeled bin collections will improve street cleanliness and make collection rounds more efficient.
Councillor Mike Hallam, cabinet member for environment, said: “During the first year of our contract with Veolia, we spent a lot of time improving the town’s environment and introducing new services that would encourage people to recycle more.
“Now we’re in our second year, we’ll continue to listen to resident feedback and to introduce more service improvements, and we know that increasing the number of residents on wheeled bin collections, will be well received.”
Keith McGurk, Regional Director for Veolia, said: “We are committed to continuously improve the services we provide to Northampton’s residents. The roll out of wheelie bins to identified streets will make it easier for residents to recycle and will hopefully also help reduce litter in these streets. Residents will receive a service leaflet explaining the changes and responding to all their questions.”

You can breathe a sigh of relief. You’ve gotten your COVID vaccine and now it’s been two weeks. You’ve got full protection against the virus now–and your friends (who haven’t gotten the shot yet) are feeling “vaccine envy.”
That’s how it supposed to work, in an ideal world. But by the end of March, Minnesota had already documented around 90 cases of breakthrough COVID in people who were fully vaccinated.
That’s what you and your non-vaccinated friend have in common. You can both still become infected with the COVID virus.
But the differences are more significant. Though fully-vaccinated and non-vaccinated people can contract COVID, the fully-vaccinated person is less likely to experience severe symptoms. Of the nearly 90 cases of breakthrough COVID, not one has died.
Another difference: fully-vaccinated individuals are far, far less likely to contract COVID. That shows the vaccine is doing its job. Health experts estimate that less than a tenth of one percent of fully vaccinated Minnesotans will become infected.
Breakthrough COVID is not a surprise. The Pfizer and Moderna vaccines were about ninety-five percent effective in clinical tests. The other five percent of the time, the virus was able to slip past the vaccine’s defenses.
Yet even with that five percent, the vaccine is still the best bet for staying out of the hospital and staying healthy.

HOUSTON — Houston lost much more than a game in Saturday’s Conference USA championship.
Austin Davis threw four touchdown passes and No. 24 Southern Mississippi ruined Houston’s perfect season and Bowl Championship Series hopes with a 49-28 victory over the seventh-ranked Cougars.
It was star quarterback Case Keenum’s last home game for Houston for sure, and could’ve also been the finale for coach Kevin Sumlin, who’s mentioned as a top candidate for virtually every higher-profile job opening.
Sumlin shot down a media report that he’ll soon become the coach at Texas A&M, which fired Mike Sherman only two days ago.
“That is not true,” Sumlin said. “I said a few weeks ago I wasn’t going to talk to anybody, period, during the football season. Many of the things that have been reported have been found out to be false already.
“I haven’t talked to anybody,” he said. “I haven’t said anything to anybody about it.”
On a grander scale, the Cougars (12-1) blew their big chance to impress a national-television audience.
Instead, the Golden Eagles (11-2) turned it into their showcase, shackling Houston’s high-powered offense and striking with several big plays of their own to win their first league title and reach 11 victories for the first time.
“Everybody thought Houston was just going to walk away with this thing,” Southern Miss coach Larry Fedora said. “So our guys obviously took objection to that. They had something to prove. ”
Southern Miss won the C-USA championship for the first time, and the league for the fifth time overall.
The Golden Eagles became the first team to hold Houston, averaging more than 50 per game, below 35 points this season.
Keenum completed 41 of 67 passes for 373 yards and two touchdowns and two interceptions. He became the first quarterback to reach 5,000 yards passing in three seasons, one more record to tack onto his magnificent career.

On October 15 to 17 the Wildlife Preservation Society of Queensland is holding a 48-hour bioblitz at Mount Tamborine.
Chair of Scenic Rim Wildlife and event organiser, Dr Ronda Green, said it was the first bioblitz to be held in the Scenic Rim and would be a citizen science event, with the general public invited to help identify and study the different species of wildlife known to exist in the region.
Dr Green said the project had gained momentum, with interest from Griffith University staff and students as well as several highly qualified experts who had agreed to guide small groups of people during the project.
“I attended the inaugural conference of the Australian Citizen Science Association last year in Canberra, and became quite excited about the idea of bioblitzes, which collect biodiversity information for science, conservation management and education,” she said.
“Bioblitzes are a great opportunity for local residents of all ages to learn just how much wonderful diversity there is around them, to learn how to start identifying animals and plants they find.
“It’s also a chance to experience how much fun it is to be out there in natural surroundings looking for beetles, toadstools, lizards and everything else that lives in the forest or other native habitat.”
Dr Green said the event would begin in earnest on Sunday but moth experts would be getting in early and setting up light traps on Saturday evening.
“I’m also delighted that we have some great experts joining us and willing to work in with members of the general community,” she said.
“These include authors of books on spiders, butterflies, crustaceans, fungi, rainforest trees and vines.”
Dr Green said the bioblitz opening would be at 10am on Sunday October 15 in the Tamborine Mountain Rainforest Skywalk car park but participants could report to bioblitz centres at either Thunderbird Park or Skywalk any time after the opening.
“Parking may be limited at Skywalk so we’re encouraging people to carpool if possible,” she said.
“We will also be holding a follow-up workshop at The Centre in Beaudesert on November 11 to talk about what we found and how the results can be used.”

Advance Care Planning: Who will make decisions when you can’t?
When it comes to our healthcare, many of us like to be in control of any decisions regarding the treatment and care we receive. But what if you were unable to make that decision for yourself?
Advance directives are documents that allow you to relay your wishes regarding the care you do or do not wish to receive in the event that you are medically unable to speak for yourself. At Fairfield Medical Center, we recognize and support every patient’s right to direct their own healthcare and to have their written wishes as part of their medical record in the form of advance directives. Yet, many people neglect to fill out these important documents, leaving their loved ones with the difficult task of having to make those decisions for them.
That’s why, this summer, FMC will be offering workshops for individuals to consult, free of charge, with an expert on Living Wills, Healthcare Power of Attorney and DNR (Do Not Resuscitate) documents.
The process of completing Advance Directives is not as difficult as some may assume. Anyone 18-years-old or older who is of sound mind can fill out an advance directive. You also do not need a lawyer to fill out an advance directive, although you may choose to talk with a lawyer about your wishes. Below is an overview of each of the three Advance Directive documents:
• Healthcare Power of Attorney (HCPOA or HPOA): A person appointed to make healthcare decisions for you in the event that you cannot make a decision for yourself. Make sure this person is in absolute agreement with your wishes.
• Living Will: Provides directions for everyone on what care you want or don’t want to receive.
• DNR (Do Not Resuscitate):
• DNR-CCA (Comfort Care Arrest) – You wish all medical treatments/interventions to be done up until the point your heart or breathing stops.
• DNR-CC (Comfort Care) – You wish for comfort measures, supportive and/or symptom management to be done only. No surgery. No CPR. No aggressive medical treatments.
• A DNR document is not required if you wish to be a full code. It also does not stop you from receiving medications and or medical treatment.
If you’ve been putting off completing these important documents, don’t wait until you are too ill or completely unable to make your wishes known. Join us at one of our upcoming workshops; to RSVP or for more information about Advance Directives, call 740-687-8555.
• June 27, 2:30 to 3:30 p.m. at Primrose Retirement Community, 1481 Wesley Way, Lancaster
• July 18, 1 p.m. at The Ridge at Lancaster, 241 Whittier Drive South, Lancaster

Manny Pacquiao (PacMan), the boxer, is, deservedly, the Philippines' greatest hero. When he has a match, people crowd around TV sets, cheering him on.
He is the first boxer to win seven world titles in seven different weight divisions.In addition, he is the only boxer to win the lineal championship ("the man who beat the man") in four different weight classes. Aside from being a boxer, Pacquiao has participated in politics, acting, filmmaking, and music recording (in which he hasn't yet achieved superstar status).
He is, most certainly, a plucky little bugger.
Pacquiao has reportedly agreed to fight Floyd Mayweather Jr. on March 13, 2010, for a split of $50 million up front, at a United States venue yet to be decided.
Watch.it, and don't forget to cheer him on. Loudly.


Traffic accidents in south and west Wichita snarled the Thursday morning commute for many residents, authorities said.
A rollover accident just before 6:45 a.m. on MacArthur Road just east of K-15 backed up traffic for many aircraft workers, a Sedgwick County dispatch supervisor said. Motorists were being advised to find another route to avoid extended delays.
Two accidents six minutes apart on southbound I-235 over Kellogg tied up that sector of the freeway in west Wichita, the supervisor said. The first accident was reported at 6:46 a.m. and the other at 6:52 a.m.
No serious injuries were reported in any of crashes that were delaying traffic, the supervisor said.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Eczema during infancy is a known risk factor for the development of food allergies later in childhood, but what role do moisturizers play in altering that risk?
Roughly one in five infants with severe, early onset atopic dermatitis or eczema will develop allergies to peanut or other foods during childhood, said Helen Brough, PhD, MSc, of the Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust in London, in a presentation at the American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology annual meeting.
Applying moisturizers and emollients to babies with dry skin and atopic dermatitis is a common practice. But it received increased scrutiny after a 2020 secondary analysis of EAT study data suggested that frequent moisturizer use during infancy may increase the risk for developing food allergies.
The study involved both high-risk and low-risk infants in the U.K., and those researchers observed a statistically significant, dose-response relationship between caregiver-reported moisturization and later food allergy. Specifically, each additional moisturization per week was associated with a roughly 20% increase in the risk for developing food allergy (odds ratio 1.20, 95% CI 1.13-1.27, P<0.0005).
However, a 2021 systematic review and meta-analysis showed no significant links between early moisturizer use and later food sensitization. Four studies included in that analysis assessed food sensitization with skin prick testing or specific IgE to food allergens; two studies assessed clinical food allergy. In a pooled analysis, use of moisturizers up to age 12 months did not significantly change the rate of food sensitization to any food in infants compared to control groups (RR 1.10, 95% CI 0.83-1.46, I2=40%).
Brough argued that the type of emollients most often used by the parents in the EAT study may largely explain the sub-analysis findings. She noted that baby massage with olive oil or baby oil is a common practice in the U.K, but rather than strengthening the skin barrier, these oils, along with moisturizers with sodium lauryl sulfate, may disrupt the skin barrier, making the skin more susceptible to bacterial infection.
She added that in mouse studies, having oil on the skin has been shown to facilitate the transfer of bacteria and other pathogens through the skin.
Brough pointed out that in the U.K. "bath oils are not recommended for children with eczema because they are not effective. But maybe bath oils could actually increase the risk for eczema or food allergy."
In 2020, Brough and colleagues reported results from a pilot study with 45 children (ages 3 months-7 years) with dry skin or eczema. They found that daily use of trilipid-based moisturizer, but not petrolatum-based moisturizer, for 5 weeks improved skin barrier function, as measured by transdermal water loss.
In another small study, a trilipid-based moisturizer was applied all over the body in 16 infants with dry skin or eczema for 12 weeks. The treatment was tied to increased plasma IgG4:IgE ratio, while use of petrolatum-based moisturizers was associated with a decline in IgG4:IgG. "So maybe these creams could do something not just to the skin barrier, but also to the immune system," Brough said.
She highlighted findings from the pilot phase of the ongoing PEEBLES study in Australia. The multicenter, phase III study will recruit more than 700 infants with a family history of allergic disease from maternity hospitals in Melbourne to determine if the application of trilipid, ceramide-containing cream two times/day, 5 days a week, for 6 months reduces the risk of atopic dermatitis and food allergy.
In early data in 91 children, controls who were not treated with the moisturizers had 8.3% sensitization to peanut at age 12 months versus 0% sensitization among those who got trilipid cream (n=21), Brough said. In addition, sensitization to milk and egg in the pilot controls was 5.6% and 16.7%, respectively, versus 0% for both in the trilipid-cream group. And the presentation of atopic dermatitis at 12 months was 15% in the control arm versus 5% in the intervention arm.
She noted that the early PEEBLES findings "did not quite reach statistical significance because the numbers were small, but there is definitely a signal there."
She stressed that there are still many unknowns about the relationship between moisturizer use and eczema/food allergy risk, but there's more clarity on other issues, such as an association between oils and an increased eczema risk. On other other hand, trilipid-based creams appear to protect against eczema and possibly food allergy.
"We know that it is really important that families who use moisturizers on their babies wash their hands before they apply it, to reduce the risk for causing skin infections, and the best time to apply it is after a bath because that's when the baby and the [caregiver] will have clean hands," Brough stated.
Brough disclosed relationships with, and/or support from, DBV Technologies, GSK, Sanofi, and Aimmune.

What is CBD?
- CBD oil is a natural essential oil which is extracted from the flowers and leaves of the cannabis plant.
- CBD is used by people all over the world as a dietary supplement for a variety of therapeutic purposes.
Different forms of CBD
- CBD is a great option because of the wide variety of ways to use it. From tinctures and drops to CBD-infused edibles and CBD balms, as well as a wide range of cosmetics.
Differences between Hemp and Marijuana
- Marijuana, as most people know, is high in the psychoactive compound THC, which is the compound that causes the “high”.
- Hemp, on the other hand, is not marijuana. It contains no THC, meaning it is not psychoactive.
Does CBD show up on a drug test?
- Many individuals are worried whether or not the use of CBD will show up on a drug test.
- The answer to that is professional lab drug tests do not test for CBD because CBD that is properly produced from legal hemp cannot produce a false positive for THC use.
- Cannabinoids, found in CBD, are vast and run deep with their benefits.
- CBD interacts with the body’s endocannabinoid system, which is a series of receptors that regulate pain, mood, the immune system, memory, stress response, and other important functions.
- Even though people find relief from stress and physical ailments using CBD, it’s not psychoactive so it does not get you “high”.
- CBD also has more effective delivery methods including sublingual and oral delivery which allows for fast acting results.
- CBD does not affect your focus or cognitive abilities, so it is a perfect supplement for high performing individuals.
- Employers, social workers, parents, and those in recovery can have less worry about THC false positive results.
- Starling CBD is fully legal and are extracted from the highest-quality hemp

DENVER (CBS4) – Mayors and leaders across metro Denver met virtually on Tuesday to discuss the issue of homelessness. Seven counties and more than 25 Colorado cities along the Front Range committed to regional coordination to address shelter and housing needs.
“We have to face the uncomfortable truth about the challenges of homelessness in our society,” said Denver Mayor Michael B. Hancock. “Coming together collaboratively as a region gives us the opportunity to be more efficient with the resources we have, whether it is the services to connect people to have their needs addressed, or to housing.”
Metro Denver Homeless Initiative co-hosted the event with the nonprofit Community Solutions, which leads the national Built for Zero initiative. More than 80 cities and counties have joined the movement, using data to measurably reduce homelessness in their communities.
“Driving reductions in homelessness takes more than just resources,” said Jake Maguire, co-director for Built for Zero. “It takes an operating system in your community for ending homelessness across your entire community or region.”
So far, 14 Built for Zero communities have ended homelessness for a population, according to Community Solutions. More than half of those locations have reduced the number of people experiencing chronic and veteran homelessness.
“The answers are there if we can break it down, but that requires radical collaboration,” said Englewood Mayor Linda Olson. “All of us have to come to the table to make it work. And the complicated nature of it is that we need various voices at the table in order to solve it well together.”

02 Nov Adam Ondra, 9a onsight?
Adam Ondra did what everybody expected, simply crushing two of the RRG’s hardest climbs, Pure Imagination and Golden Ticket, in the same day.
He also downgraded them both, from 9a to 8c+: whereas Pure Imagination is, according to him, a low-end 8c+, Golden Ticket is a high end 8c+. The 9a still remains to be onsighted…
In the meantime, also Daniel Woods and Cedric Lachat sent Southern Smoke Direct, 9a.

Shift minions getting all uppity
by Tom Sullivan
So, what? Do these uppity, chronically stressed workers think The Economy exists to serve people instead of the other way around? Employees — I'm sorry, Associates — are supposed to genuflect and cross themselves at the sound of their master's voice, and ask how high when Job Creators says jump. What are those Left Coast socialists smoking?
Meet your new union reps: the statehouse and City Hall.
San Francisco’s new law, which its Board of Supervisors passed Tuesday by unanimous vote, will require any “formula retailer” (retail chain) with 20 or more locations worldwide that employs 20 or more people within the city to provide two weeks’ advance notice for any change in a worker’s schedule. An employer that alters working hours without two weeks’ notice — or fails to notify workers two weeks ahead of time that their schedules won’t change — will be required to provide additional “predictability pay.“ Property service contractors that provide janitorial or security services for these retailers will also need to abide by the new rule.
What's worse, these subversive notions have a way of spreading east from the Left Coast like viruses. Call out the dragoons.
Speaking of predictability, the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce is predictably miffed about the “Retail Workers Bill of Rights.” For struggling hourly workers, taking classes, caring for families, and raising children (and managing day care logistics) is something The Economy expects you to fit in between work shifts at multiple, part-time, low-paying, no-benefits service jobs where shift schedules vary a lot. But that's just the way it is and the way The Economy likes it. With labor unions weakened and workers disempowered, setting working conditions once governed by collective bargaining agreements now falls to local Democrats. That is, if you can find any that aren't Republican lite.
And go figure, labor-friendly measures such as the Retail Workers Bill of Rights are popular. HuffPost:
With Congressional Republicans opposing a minimum wage hike and other legislation aimed at low-wage work, labor unions and their progressive allies have found much more success on the local level. Despite the drubbing that Democrats took in the midterm elections earlier this month, binding ballot initiatives on the minimum wage passed easily in four red states. A measure that will require many employers to provide their workers with paid sick days also passed in Massachusetts.
Increased unpredictability in work schedules is driven by technology. When store foot traffic had to be measured manually and work schedules were typed out, employers found it cumbersome to alter work schedules too frequently. But just as computers created vast new producer efficiencies through just-in-time store inventories, so, too, did they create vast new staffing efficiencies through just-in-time work scheduling. Trouble is, getting moved around at the click of a mouse is more disruptive to human beings than it is to refrigerators and automobiles.
"Efficiency" is like "shareholder value" that way. When they start hearing it, flesh-and-blood consumable resources better update their resumes, stock up on antacid, and learn to get by with even less sleep.
Earlier this year, 32-year-old Maria Fernandes of Newark, NJ died of asphyxiation while catnapping in her car between shifts of her four part-time jobs. The Economy did not attend her funeral.

2015 Dodge Caravan Owner's Manual
The main difference between the second-generation Caravan from its predecessor is the appearance of two side sliding doors, although there was a modification with a four-door body, where the second door from the driver’s side was absent. Wide doors provide easy access to a spacious passenger cabin with three rows of seats.
The second and third row seats are removable. They are quite heavy, but when removed they can be transported on small mounted wheels. For the passengers of the second row there are additional “heater” deflectors.
Caravan is the vehicle, which is best suited for long trips with a large company. Everything is thought out to the smallest detail. The selector lever of the automatic transmission in the traditions of the American car industry is placed on the steering column. Accordingly, it is possible to switch from front to back seats without leaving the cabin.
We also have owner's manuals for other vehicle years:
- 2020 Dodge Grand Caravan
- 2019 Dodge Caravan
- 2018 Dodge Caravan
- 2017 Dodge Caravan
- 2016 Dodge Caravan

Any single-engine WW-2 fighter that can affectively sling a torpedo into action is Aces in my book! This is another reason why I like the Fiat G.55 as my favorite Regia Aeronautica WW-2 aircraft. I was lucky to pick-up on Ebay that Pacific Coast Models 1/32 Fiat G.55 kit at a decent price. I plan on converting it into the torpedo-armed upgrade, which PCM has the conversion parts on their website to do. Kinda pricey but worth it for this project. I'd like to find metal landing gear for the G.55 as well, if they can be had.
Another project I'm working on is an Airfix 1/72 "Gun-Nosed" Do.217J, which I plan to make in the paint scheme and markings this aircraft had while in service with the Regia Aeronautica. I've been partial to prop-driven "gun ships" , like the Hs.129 Tank Buster, P-61 and B-25 strafers & canon-nosed versions. My favorite twin-engine gun ship platform would have to be the A-26K used in Viet Nam. I'd love to see this in 1/32 scale! (Hint-Hint WingScale )

EL SEGUNDO, Calif. -- "Who you got there?" Lamar Odom yelled across the court after practice Tuesday to Los Angeles Lakers athletic trainer Chip Schaefer.
Who he had was a mop-topped prospect, a burly forward in a blank purple practice uniform, who barely raised an eyebrow in Odom's direction and went back to the workout Schaefer and Lakers special assistant Bill Bertka were running him through.
While the Lakers players and coaching staff are preparing for the NBA Finals that are just days away, the Lakers' front office and basketball operations staff are preparing for the NBA draft on June 24.
The Lakers have two second-round selections this year, Nos. 43 and 58, and began working out players Monday. The Lakers do not release the names of the players it brings in to evaluate.
"We'll probably bring in close to 30 or 40 this year," Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak said in a phone interview with ESPNLosAngeles.com Tuesday. "But when you have a first-round pick, you'll bring in more players than that. We've brought in 60 to 70 in the past."
Kupchak said the individual workouts are a small piece of the evaluation process when deciding on a draft pick.
"It's a process that starts years ago, especially with seniors," Kupchak said. "You've been watching them for four years."
The draft decision makers -- a group that also includes assistant general manager Ronnie Lester and executive vice president of business operations Jimmy Buss -- also use scouting information and observations drawn from a litany of pre-draft camps in Chicago, Minnesota, New Jersey and Treviso, Italy.
Lakers head coach Phil Jackson and his staff continue to focus their efforts on the postseason. "Every now and then our coaches will stick their head in," Kupchak said of the workouts. "They really don't participate. They don't follow college basketball like we do." (Jackson didn't even fill out an NCAA bracket this year.)
Kupchak said he hopes the Lakers can find somebody to make the roster next season with at least one of their two picks.
"We only have two second-round picks this year and we think we can get a player at No. 43," he said. "It's going to be much tougher to get a player at No. 58 that makes your team, so there's a little less at stake.
"At No. 43 you really can't be choosy. We just have to get a player that we think is NBA talent and has some character where he can improve. Maybe he hasn't reached his potential, which is why he's available at 43, yet he's a hard-working kid and is only going to get better."
Finding a second-round draft pick that can become a meaningful contributor is rare, but not impossible. Luke Walton was selected No. 32 in the storied 2003 draft. Pau Gasol's brother, Marc, was selected No. 48 by the Lakers in 2007. Impact players such as San Antonio's Manu Ginobili, Utah's Carlos Boozer, Washington's Gilbert Arenas and Milwaukee's Michael Redd were also selected in the second round.
Kupchak said even though starting point guard Derek Fisher and backup point guard Jordan Farmar will be free agents this summer and combo guard Shannon Brown is expected to opt out of his contract for next season and test the free-agent waters as well, the Lakers are not committed to drafting a guard.
"I can't pigeon-hole a position right now," Kupchak said. "You just can't be choosy at 43. I think if you're drafting in the top 10, then you can say, 'Hey, we need this, we need that.' I don't think we can look at the draft that way. Having said that, our backcourt this summer could be an area that needs to be addressed but I can't look at the draft and say, 'Hey, we're going to get a starting point guard at 43.'
"That's an area that we have to look to, but I can't say that we'll be able to find that player at No. 43."
Kentucky's John Wall and Ohio State's Evan Turner are considered the consensus top two picks available, with a considerable drop-off in the talent pool after them, but Kupchak was impressed by the overall prospect pool this year.
"We think it's pretty good [talent]," Kupchak said. "For some reason, I don't know -- I've got theories, but I don't know -- there have been underclassmen that have declared, so we think it's pretty good. If you're drafting in the top five, it's really good. But, we think there will be some players that will be in the 30s that maybe might drop to the 40s, maybe even guys that we think we would take in the 20s that could drop to the 40s.
"So, we think we'll get a player. At least that's our hope."

From the microwave to the iPhone, easy air travel to massive underground tunnels, our lives are loaded with modern conveniences that we tend to take for granted.
One of the more overlooked advancements is moisture-wicking technology, a feature that we enjoy in our athletic shirts, socks, and most importantly, our underwear. As men, we know the harsh realities of moisture down below, and any type of undies that help us regulate the situation on autopilot is a true game-changer.
What is the secret behind these moisture-wicking capabilities, and what are the best materials to look for when purchasing underwear that stays dry in the toughest situations?
We’re taking a closer look at the magical mechanisms that wick away moisture and give you the ultimate comfort in the most important areas. Let’s get into it.
Why Moisture-Wicking Is Key
If you have any amount of experience with moisture-wicking materials, you’ll know firsthand how powerful this stuff can be.
Whether you’re in the middle of a devastating aerobic workout or crushing a project for work into the late hours of the night, you’re going to be sweating—that’s just how nature operates.
Moisture-wicking shirts, shorts, and undies can keep you cool as a cucumber as you push yourself to the limits of performance, giving you a competitive edge and making the experience far more enjoyable overall.
The human body has an average of about 2.5 million sweat glands, so it’s only a matter of time before we start feeling the pressure and start sweating. It can happen anywhere and anytime, which explains the widespread popularity of moisture-wicking materials.
It used to be that only the occasional workout t-shirt or pair of athleisure joggers had the ability to keep us cool and dry, but now that we’ve seen the light, the possibilities are endless. From polo shirts to undergarments and hats, moisture-proofing is everywhere.
Not only do these fabrics prevent sweat buildup and dry off quickly from the rain, but they also help to keep crucial areas free from bacteria and fungus. If you’ve ever encountered jock itch downstairs, you know what a literal pain that can be.
Some people sweat more, some less. Different situations and stressors trigger certain responses from the body, which can’t be fully explained.
What matters is that you have moisture-wicking technology on your side more often than not.
How Moisture-Wicking Works
It’s not hard to figure out why moisture-wicking material is awesome, but how the heck does it work?
The term “wicking” is used to describe a similar action you see when you light a candle. As the flame slowly burns, the wax is drawn up the wick (typically a piece of string) and allows it to melt evenly without making a mess everywhere.
In moisture-wicking material, water or sweat is pulled from the interior of the fabric to the exterior, where it evaporates more quickly and easily. When pushing yourself through a challenging workout, each bead of sweat from your body gets absorbed into your shirt and then transferred to the outermost layer of the material.
Shirts, socks, or athletic boxer briefs—the mechanism works pretty much the same from top to bottom, with minor differences based on the exact materials used.
Tiny molecular reactions force moisture in a one-way direction and prevent the saturation of the fabric in the blink of an eye. This is partially due to the structure of the fibers and also the result of chemical treatments performed during the manufacturing process.
If you read more deeply into the mechanics behind moisture-wicking tech, you may also come across the term “capillary action,” which once again refers to the movement of water from the inside to the outside of the fabric. You’ll find manufacturers with unique, proprietary methods of moisture management, but the overall approach remains the same most of the time.
The Best Materials To Buy
You now have a basic understanding of how moisture-wicking works, but not all materials are created equal, and you should know what fabrics will serve you best in each situation.
Let’s start by looking at a familiar material that is quite the opposite of moisture-wicking: cotton. Sure, you get to enjoy the lightweight breathability of cotton, but when any sweat or water is introduced to the scene, it gets absorbed with sponge-like quickness and starts to weigh you down at the worst possible moment.
The problem is that most men are so familiar with wearing cotton boxer briefs that they don’t know there is an infinitely better alternative well within reach!
Synthetic fabrics are the way to go when choosing boxer briefs, especially now that we have such a wide range of amazing synthetics available to us. Polyester, for example, is considered one of the more “hydrophobic” materials out there, which is why you see so many boxer briefs made of a poly blend with either cotton or spandex.
The main drawback of polyester is breathability—or lack thereof. Wearing polyester boxers briefs can really ramp up the greenhouse effect on your manly essentials, meaning that heat has trouble escaping. That’s a one-way ticket to serious discomfort!
You may be okay wearing a polyester t-shirt for a workout in an air-conditioned gym, but anything more than that, and you’re in trouble. By no means should you wear this material down low, unless you’ve lost a bet.
Then there’s rayon, which is on another level completely. Micromodal rayon, for example, is composed of treated tree cellulose and augmented chemically to create the ultimate moisture-wicking boxer briefs.
With thread counts between 300 and 400, micromodal is buttery smooth and feels great on even the most sensitive skin. It gives you everything you want in a pair of boxer briefs, including full breathability, low heat retention, and of course, moisture-wicking abilities.
Look for micromodal rayon when you make your next boxer brief purchase and see for yourself this incredible life hack you’ve been missing.
All-Around Excellent Underwear
Great moisture-wicking material is only part of the equation when selecting winning boxer briefs. You want your underwear to fit well and offer comfort in all the right places so that you avoid sweating and swampiness in the first place!
Remember, the construction of clothes is just as important as the stuff from which they are made. You can have the most elegant, silky material on the planet, but if those undies are riding up and causing you problems, you’re going to want to chuck them in the trash.
Ultra-modal fabric is essential, but a comfortable fit is what puts the best boxer briefs on a new level of quality. Run down the mental checklist in your head before buying your next set and ask yourself the key questions:
- Is the material truly moisture-wicking and antimicrobial?
- Is the fit conducive to comfort when relaxing and during exercise?
- Are the boxer briefs built to last with quality USA craftsmanship?
- Can I rely on the company in the long term to deliver top-notch products?
- Are there plenty of honest, positive customer reviews that support the product?
Answer these to the best of your ability, and you won’t regret your next purchase. Plus, with moisture-wicking capabilities, each pair of boxer briefs will last way longer and give you more value for your dollar, especially if you stick with a reliable brand.
Cool, dry, and constructed with care—that’s what you want from the ultimate boxer briefs.
Make It Easy For Yourself
There’s one harsh truth about moisture-wicking boxer briefs that nobody wants to talk about - once you experience them for an entire week of working, exercising, relaxing, and playing, you won’t want to ever return to your polyester or cotton undies again. You may consider it wasteful to toss all those existing undergarments into the dumpster, but it’s for the best!
You’ll also want to gradually expand your collection of boxer briefs once you find the winning combination of silkiness, stretch, and quick-drying capabilities.
The best way to make sure you always have fresh boxer briefs in your drawer is to subscribe to an underwear membership service that always delivers the goods on time. This way, you’ll never find yourself in that unfortunate situation where you have to revert to your old-fashioned undies.
Plus, moisture-wicking abilities work best when boxer briefs are still somewhat new, and you don’t want to keep a pair in your rotation for longer than six months at a time. A membership to your favorite underwear brand will make sure you always have the right gear at the right time.
Whether you’re an athlete, office manager, or master of leisure, you want to have boxer briefs with moisture-wicking abilities in your drawer. Follow these guidelines to pick the best pair and stick with them for the long haul!

In New York, Midtown South office rents are up 51% to $57.31 per square foot. Rents in Midtown, home to the Empire State Building, rose 34% to $74.03 per square foot.
Rents in San Francisco’s South of Market district are up 82% to $62.17 per square foot, surpassing the financial district’s $61 per square foot, an increase of 63%.
Last week we reported that headline Dublin prime office rents in D2, D$ and Docklands are heading to €50 ($65) per square foot.
However, we were advised that special deals can still be got in respect of Dublin lettings (over 30,000 sq ft and up) in the early €30s per square foot. "In fact all of the bigger lettings in Dublin in the last 12 months (Facebook, William Fry, Dropbox etc.) were for effective rents of under €30 per sq ft."
Big multinational firms can easily handle rising rents in Dublin but it's a different scenario for cash-strapped startups - - Dublin's Silicon Docks

A 45-year old Boise man is in custody awaiting extradition to Malheur County on charges stemming from an armed robbery June 22 in Jordan Valley.
The Malheur County Sheriff’s Office reported the incident began when a man and a male juvenile stopped at Jim’s Shell station, asked for directions to California, and left. About 4:26 a.m., the duo returned to the station with the man wielding a pipe.
The man demanded money from the attendant on duty, striking the attendant in the arm. The assailant then took an undetermined amount of money from the register.
As he fled the station, the man smashed the glass window of the front door.
Malheur County Sheriff’s Deputy David Reed responded to the 911 call. As the direction of the duo . . .


Liquid Crystal Display. A display device for generating color images using a matrix of LCD pixel elements. Each pixel element consists of 3 sub-pixels and an RGB color filter of red (R), green (G), and blue (B). By controlling the voltage to each sub-pixel of an LCD, each cluster of RGB pixels can create a full spectrum of colored light. LCDs are used in flatscreen displays, cameras and notebook computers to name a few.
Nearly every projector made with LCD technology uses 3 separate LCDs, one each for red, green and blue. Light from the projector lamp is separated into RGB with a set of dichroic mirrors. The three light beams (RGB) are passed through separate LCDs and recombined to project a color image.

Construction sector implements diverging strategies25 March 2020
Despite the government declaring construction an essential sector there is still confusion and differing opinions in the board rooms of the big construction companies.
As we previously reported there have been several big name partial or full closures on the merchant and supply side. Jewsons closed all branches and switched to delivery only as did Arnold Laver. BSW Timber will be focussing solely on supplying the pallet industry and has closed down all other operations.
Howdens has closed showrooms and its two manufacturing plants but kept a cut-down operation running in its warehousing to fulfil orders already in the system.
But it is in the construction sector where widely different approaches still dominate. The government has said work can continue so long as people remain 2m apart, but critics say this is impossible to enforce.
Bovis Homes, Speller Metcalfe, Barratt Developments, Taylor Wimpey, ISG and Galliard all announced an immediate shut down with some staff remaining on site simply to make them secure and safe.
Persimmon announced that it was to cease all but essential work in housing and ‘pause’ construction on the various HS2 sites.
Redrow Homes are remaining fully operational as is Cairn Construction. "Aligned to government guidelines, construction activity continues across each of our active sites under extensive health and safety protocols," a spokesman for the firm said.
For those companies and projects closing there was further mixed approach to paying trades and contractors. The vast majority of tradespeople on large construction sites are independent contractors or supplied through agencies.
Taylor Wimpey said it had around 2,000 directly employed staff who would be supported, but had no plans for the "sizable number" of self employed freelancers on its sites.
"They are generally not actually operating for us, they are operating for a sub-contractor, so we are trying to support our subcontractors by paying them on time or in advance," said Pete Redfern, MD.
He admitted self-employed workers were the "single biggest gap" and that it was "critical" government support came through quickly.

Need Help - Big time messed
Dec 28, 2009
Dear Doctor, I will really appreciate if you can advice me what are my chances of getting HIV - I had a call girl in Malaysia on 8th Nov 09, she gave me oral unprotected sex for few seconds then she put the condom on my penis. I had sex with her for like 2 mins, I was on top and I ejaculated in her inside the condom... As soon as I took out my penis I touched the condom and somehow my sperms oozed out of the condom, I think condom much have got loose after ejaculation. I think for few seconds I must have tried to have sex with her with loose condom. But I remember condom covering my penis.
Then I cleaned my penis with water with same hand that has touched her vaginal fluid.
Later I cleaned my penis with a towel on which I later found had some Menstrual blood, maybe she started bleeding after sex... unfortunately I used the towel to clean one of my open wound on my leg which was result of scratching that day... the towel was wet and had her blood.
Now I m very worried as many things happened on that day as my penis is not circumcised and what if the condom was not tightly fitted on my penis after ejaculating in her... What if her vaginal fluid has come to contact with my penis when i was cleaning it with water... what if I have touched the blood stained towel on my open wound... I feel really very depressed as recently as few days back I got very severe cold & cough... I tried my best to search the answer but still was not able to locate anything very close to this...
your yes or no reply will also give me some hope... I am ready to make a donation... kindly help doctor with your advice... take care god bless you
Response from Dr. Frascino
All of your fears are largely unwarranted.
Several seconds of unprotected oral insertive sex carries a negligible risk for HIV.
If your latex condom covered your Mr. Happy during your nookie, your risk should be minimal at best, even if the condom became a bit loose. Cleaning your tallywhacker with the same hand that touched your gal-pal's vaginal fluid is not an HIV-transmission risk. Then re-cleaning your one-eyed monster with a wet towel that may have had some menstrual blood on it is also not considered a significant risk for viral transmission.
If my reassurances are not sufficient for you to shake your worries, get a single HIV test at the three-month mark. The result will undoubtedly be negative.
Thank you for your interest in making a donation to The Robert James Frascino AIDS Foundation (www.concertedeffort.org). In return I'm sending you my good-luck karma that you are and remain HIV negative.

What Essential Oils are Safe for Cats?
Most of us use essential oils, whether it’s in air fresheners, cleaning spray, hand sanitizer, fragrance, laundry products, cosmetics, skincare, or even certain medications. But while essential oils might be safe for human use, does the same apply to our cats? In a word, no. Most essential oils are toxic for our feline friends, causing everything from vomiting and drooling to liver failure and even death. The problem lies with an aromatic organic compound called phenol. While humans have a relatively high tolerance for phenol, cats don’t. Even a small amount of most essential oils, especially the undiluted variety, can be dangerous. Here’s what you need to know about what essential oils are safe for cats... and what ones aren’t.
What Essential Oils are Safe for Cats?
While it’s best to assume that all essential oils are dangerous for cats and avoid using them until you find out more about the particular variety you plan on using, some essential oils (primarily those with a low phenol content) are slightly less dangerous than others. Cedarwood, chamomile, marjoram, and valerian essential oils are among the safest – however, in their concentrated form they can still present a risk, so take extra special precautions whenever you use them. The more diluted the oil, the better, so always use diffusers instead of concentrated.
Which Essential Oils are Toxic for Cats?
Most essential oils have the potential to be a danger to your cat, depending on how concentrated they are, the general health of the cat, and the rate and amount of exposure. However, according to canadianveterinarians.net, the oils that you should be particularly wary of using around a cat include:
- Bergamot (Citrus bergamia; Citrus Aurantium)
- Bitter almond (Peumus boldus)
- Calamus essential oil (Acorus calamus)
- Clary Sage
- Clove (Syzgium aromaticum)
- Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus spp.)
- European Pennyroyal (Mentha pulegium)
- Geranium oil (Pelargonium sp.)
- Horseradish (Amoracia rusticana)
- Japanese yew (Taxus spp.)
- Lavender (Lavendula angustifolia)
- Lemon oil (Citrus Lemonia) citronella
- Lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus)
- Lime oils (Citrus aurantifolia)
- Orange oils (Citrus sinensis)
- Oregano (Origanum vulgare hirtum)
- Pennyroyal; American false pennyroyal (Haedeoma pulegioides)
- Pine, spruce, juniper oils
- Tea tree (Melaleuca alternifolia)
- Wintergreen, peppermint, spearmint, mint (Mentha sp.)
- Ylang Ylang
How are Essential Oils Dangerous For Cats?
Essential oils, particularly undiluted ones, can become a big problem for your cat in the following ways:
- Ingestion: Cats like to keep clean, which is great most of the time, but less than ideal if they’ve rubbed against something coated in essential oil. Most things that get onto a cat’s fur inevitably end up in their mouth, which is when the problem starts.
- Inhalation: Reed diffusers and plug-ins might make your house smell nice, but if you’ve got cats, you might want to think about just cracking a window instead. Although toxic effects from inhalation are relatively rare in healthy cats (largely because most essential oils used in reed diffusers and plugins are diluted), it can be a big problem for cats with ongoing respiratory conditions such as asthma. Regardless of whether your cat has an existing condition or not, stay away from nebulized or ultrasonically diffused neat essential oils.
- Absorption: Applying undiluted essential oils to your cat’s skin is a one-way ticket to an emergency visit to the vets. As well as causing contact dermatitis, there’s also a risk your cat could ingest the oil during grooming.
What Are the Signs of Essential Oil Toxicity?
Toxic essential oils, whether inhaled, ingested, or absorbed through the skin, can pose a serious health risk to cats, leading to a host of distressing problems such as low blood pressure, respiratory infection and in extreme cases, seizures, foreign body pneumonia, liver failure, and even death. If you suspect your cat has come into contact with any toxic essential oils, book an appointment with your vet asap while watching out for the following symptoms:
- Watery nose and eyes
- Labored breathing
- Trouble walking
- Red patches on skin
How To Keep Your Cat Safe From Toxic Essential Oils
As pdsa.org.uk notes, there are plenty of things you can do to minimize the risk that toxic essential oils present to your cat. These include…
Check the Ingredients on Flea Products
If you need to de-flea your cat, stick to prescription flea products. Numerous over-the-counter flea treatments contain essential oils, which are not only less effective than prescription products, but potentially dangerous for your cat’s health.
Wash Your Hands
It may sound obvious, but make sure that you wash your hands after using any essential oils to reduce the risk of transferring them to your cat’s skin.
It’s becoming increasingly common for cleaning products to include essential oils, but think twice about introducing them to your home. Cats aren’t too careful about where they walk or what they brush up against, with the result that anything you use to clean could wind up in their fur, and from there, their digestive systems.
Dilute, then Dilute Again
The more concentrated the essential oil, the bigger risk it becomes. Stay safe by using a carrier oil to dilute any essential oils you use around the house.
Store Them Away
Keep any essential oils stored safely away to stop little paws from getting into things they shouldn’t.
Open A Window
If you plan on diffusing any essential oils using a plugin diffuser, a nebulizer, or a reed diffuser, keep your cat out of the room while you do it and open a window afterward to ventilate the area before they come back in.
What Should I Do If My Cat is Exposed to Toxic Essential Oils?
No matter how careful we try to be, accidents sometimes happen. If, despite your best efforts, your cat ingests or gets toxic essential oil on their skin, the first thing to do is not to panic. Cats are more empathetic than we sometimes give them credit for, and will quickly become stressed if they notice your concern. Avoid trying to induce vomiting as this can be unsafe. Also avoid giving them any medicine in case of any contraindications with whatever treatment your veterinarian recommends. Schedule an emergency appointment with your veterinarian as soon as you can. If it’s outside of normal working hours, don’t wait for them to open – call an emergency pet hospital that offers round-the-clock appointments. From there, your veterinarian will be able to assess what treatment is needed.

My wife was reading when I first put it on: this was actually my strategy to avoid getting blamed if, on telling her to watch it, it turned out as obscure or inaccessible as it might at first sound. She did actually ask what I was going to watch as I loaded it.
"Er, it's a little film about some Mongolian herders in the Gobi Desert and their camels, Dear..." I offered sheepishly (and not inappropriately).
"...right..." she hemmed, returning to her book. The film started.
As the credits rolled some time later, I turned from my riveted position facing the TV. My wife was staring wide-eyed at the screen, a huge smile on her face, moisture in her eyes.
"That was absolutely fantastic!" she exclaimed.
It is. Far more beautiful than any of your over-hyped Crouching Dragons, or whatever - deliriously so, in fact, and all the more exquisite for being so real. Simple and exotic at the same time, The Weeping Camel establishes how utterly alien we all are and, at the same time, how very, very similar.
It begins with astonishing, eyeball-searing landscape and lifestyle shots that look like Luke Skywalker's home planet, with creatures from Hoth imported from the sequel (were they Bantus?). The desert looks and sounds bleak, wild, glowing and glorious. Its inhabitants (and their clothes, their habitat, their food, their songs) are both ordinary and inexpressibly glamorous.Read more ›
The camel, legend has it, was once given an impressive set of antlers as reward for its loyalty and dedicated service. Unfortunately, it is a trusting animal, and loaned its antlers to a deer ... who never returned them. The camel, to this day, remains forlornly staring at a distant horizon, awaiting the deer's return, a track of tears permanently dripping from the corner of its eye.
This is a simple evocation of desert life - the desert of the twin humped Bacterian camel, not the North African / Middle Eastern variety. We follow a small family, grandparents, adult children, infant grandchild, as they forage and eke out a calm, slow paced life in the Gobi. It is a harsh environment, one which tolerates few mistakes, but the Mongolian people know it and have adapted to its demands.
Their routines are universal - forage for fuel, cook, eat, wash, sleep, keep the young children safe, encourage adventure, play and responsibility in the older ones, cherish the people you love, and treat your livestock with respect. It's a simple life, punctuated by ritual as spoonfuls of milk are cast to the four winds, asking for a blessing on the day and the daily activity.
Filmed without commentary or comment, this drama-documentary centres around the birth of a white camel and its rejection by its mother. The farmers have to try to effect a reconciliation, have to get the mother to suckle her offspring.Read more ›
The camels are fabulous, and the "star" of the film is an adorable white calf, abandoned by his mother after a very long and hard birth. A musician from a distant town is brought in to play for them, in a ritual that will make the mother care for her offspring, and it is a fantastic thing to witness. The last 30 minutes of this film are quite magical, and all of it is extremely educational.
Some may find the pacing slow, but that is because it is being seen from the complex fast track the viewer is on, compared to the steady flow of nomadic existence, and perhaps they are expecting a "movie", and not a documentary, as that is not clearly specified in the packaging, other than National Geographic being named as part of production. The slowness of the film is actually part of the experience, where the people are without distractions, and are a part of the nature around them, reading the sky for storms, and understanding their animals in a profound way.
Total running time is 87 minutes.
