Back in winter 2001 I had the idea of scootering from Florence to do a bit of ski-ing at Abetone in the Pistoian Apennines. We never got there since the road became rather icy at one stage and, as discretion is the better part of valour, we retreated further down the valley to Cutigliano.
It was a god-send: Cutigliano is much more picturesque than touristy, ski-mad Abetone and combines a dainty mediaeval centre with some excellent nursery slopes suitable for extreme-ski challenged people like us.
In that New Year’s eve of 2001 we stayed in a room above a shop selling woollen clothes and were made to feel most welcome. 2002 was inaugurated by a spectacular fiaccolata when skiers glided down from the Croce arcana pass with lighted torches. We needed that welcome – 9/11 was still heavily on people’s minds and the following morning we all had to cope with a new currency: the Euro!
Cutigliano is first mentioned in 1000 AD in documents now in the Pistoia’s state archives and several of its buildings date back to those feudal times when the town faced tough battles to maintain its independence from the inroads of Lucca’s Castruccio Castracani. The brigands of the Valdinievole valley, with their base at Lucchio castle, on the borders between Pistoia and Lucca, also gave Cutigliano a hard time until in 1330 they were defeated by Angiolo Panciatichi.
The governor of Cutigliano was called il Capitano Della Montagna and the post dates back to the time of Panciatichi. The proud little town hall decorated with heraldic symbols was once the captain’s main residence..
There are two beautiful churches. The one dedicated to the Madonna even contains a lovely Della Robbia.
Cutigliano became part of the new kingdom of Italy in 1861. It also developed into a summer hideaway for people escaping from the torrid summer heat of Florence and the library gave us reprints of quaint accounts of the wonders Cutigliano offered to those travellers reaching it by horse and carriage. Indeed, for a little time it was a rival to Bagni di Lucca itself for attracting dyspeptic Anglo-Saxons to its arboured slopes.
We like to return to Cutigliano at least once a year. These photographs were taken in October 2005 during a folk and chestnut festival.

Camila Cabello went from a member of Fifth Harmony to a solo artist almost overnight. Now, the singer is making a name for herself with her debut album and making history in the process.
“The day before I released my album, the night before I was in the shower and I just had this breakdown,” she tells Cheryl Hickey, revealing her nerves got to her.
The singer says she thought to herself, “‘I can’t. I can’t release this album,’” continuing, “’We have to stop. Push the red button. We can’t. There’s… just another thing I can do. There’s another song. I just know.’ That was just nerves.”
It turns out the 20-year-old singer had nothing to worry about.
Cabello made history with self-titled solo album, becoming the first woman in three years to have her debut album bow at number one on the Billboard 200 music chart.
The “Havana” singer says she plans on celebrating being on top of the charts with her family.
“I’m fully aware of how hard it is to have a number one in your career,” she says. “And it’s been so close. A couple of times. But you just can’t be like ,’happy number two!’… once you get to number two you just really want the number one.”
The decision to go with her name as the album title also took some thought. When she released the single “Crying In The Club” last year, the album was called “The Hurting. The Healing. The Loving.” The singer tells ET Canada the change was necessary to reflect where she is now in life.
“There were just things that I was heartbroken about in the beginning that four months or five months after I had totally moved on from it,” she says, explaining the decision to change the title. “I just felt like my music need [sic] to move on with me or otherwise it was like, I couldn’t imagine just basing everything and having such an important big moment in my life and giving that power to something that hurt me… that’s not fair to me.”
Adding, “I feel like me naming it just my name. Just gave me back that ownership of this moment and just the power back in my life.”

Stryker Area Historic Photos
Stryker United Methodist Church
The date the Stryker United Methodist Church was established is unknown, but there is record of a Methodist “protracted meeting” in Stryker in February 1858. In the fall of 1860 the Ohio Methodist Central Conference assigned Rev. H. M. Close to Stryker, so the congregation was probably organized by that time.
In 1862, Stryker Methodists purchased Lot 7 of Fuller’s Addition for $20. This lot is on the south side of Church Street midway between Center and Defiance Streets.
In 1862 or 1863 the congregation erected the wooden frame house of worship shown above on the lot. The church faced north toward what was then Stryker’s public square and park. According to a local newspaper account the building was not dedicated until 1870 because “considerable debt was left unsatisfied” on the building.
In 1878 significant improvements including a new steeple and bell, and installation of “gothic” stained glass windows were made to the church. The structure served the Stryker Methodist congregation until a new church was completed on the northwest corner of Defiance and Short streets in 1901.
In the spring of 1905 Ernest P. Mignery purchased the former church building, moved it to South Depot Street and converted it into a hay barn shown here. The building and 125 tons of hay were destroyed by fire in July 1909.
This vintage image is from the Williams County Public Library’s Photographic Archives
In 1901, the Stryker Methodist congregation built this large frame church on the northwest corner of Defiance and Short streets to replace a smaller structure erected in the 1860s on Church Street. The house of worship cost about $6,000 and was formally dedicated on January 12, 1902. The structure served Stryker Methodists until 1968 when the congregation completed a new church edifice at the intersection of Maple and Cherry streets.
The old structure at Defiance and Short streets was donated to the Stryker schools. The schools music department used the upper floors of the building for band and choir instruction, and the art department occupied the basement. The building was razed in 1982 following completion of the existing elementary school.
The site is now occupied by the Williams County Public Library’s Stryker branch.

Stryker Drug Store
Anyone remember the Stryker Drug Store? Looks like they’re advertising a cold remedy to cure a child in a day! Wouldn’t we like that today? If you remember anything else about it, let us know. Thanks to Mary Lou Barnum for the photo.
Zion Reformed Church
St. Jacob’s Reformed Church was organized in 1867. The congregation worshipped in a one-room schoolhouse three miles northeast of Evansport until 1877 when this wooden frame church was erected on the west side of County Road 24, midway between today’s Ohio 34 and U.S. 6.
On January 2, 1878, the congregation adopted the official name “German Reformed Zion Church of the German Reformed Synod of the North West of the United States of America,” but it was commonly known as the Zion Reformed Church. The reason behind the name change is unknown.
Because many in the congregation were Swiss immigrants or the children of Swiss immigrants, services were conducted in Swiss German until 1901, when English language services were introduced.
In 1898, a steeple was added to the building, and Zion's Frauenverein (Ladies Aid) furnished a bell to ring in services.
In 1927—Zion’s 60th anniversary—membership stood at 112; however, like many 20th century rural churches, Zion’s congregation withered away over the next two decades.
In January 1948 the remaining members elected to disband, and 26 transferred to St. John’s Evangelical and Reformed Church in Archbold. The steeple was removed and Zion church was converted into a residence that still occupies the site.
This 1913 photograph was provided by the Stryker Area Heritage Council and was copied from an original owned by Eldred Buehrer of rural Stryker.
St. John’s Catholic Church
Although it is uncertain which congregation was first organized after Stryker was founded in 1853, tradition holds that St. John's Catholic Church erected the first house of worship in town.
St. John's Catholic Church was reportedly organized in November 1861 by Rev. A. J. Hoeffel of Defiance, although services are said to have been held earlier in Patrick Carens' home.
On November 10, 1861, the congregation purchased a lot at the northwest corner of Church and Center streets from John H. Sargent and Epaphras L. Barber, two of Stryker's founders.
The February 11, 1862, issue of the Williams County Leader newspaper reported: "A Catholic church is building in the flourishing town of Stryker." The church was probably completed soon afterward.
The first St. John's Catholic Church was a wooden frame, one-story rectangular building. Its entrance was on the structure's east side, facing the town's park and schoolhouse. Catholics and Protestants united to construct the church building and since there were no other houses of worship in the community, non-Catholics also reportedly attended services there.
For many years St. John's shared a priest with the Catholic missions in Wauseon, Archbold and Bryan. The priest sometimes made the trip to Stryker using a railroad handcar.
In 1956, the wooden frame building that had served St. John's for more than 90 years was moved and a brick structure constructed on the same site that was dedicated June 16, 1957. The old church building was converted into a storage building and was razed sometime around the 1980s.
The last service was held at St. John's Catholic Church on June 27, 2004. The property was purchased by the Stryker Local Schools and razed soon afterward.
Rethmel barn raising
Large wooden barns have been a northwest Ohio farm staple since the 1800s, sheltering livestock, providing enclosed work areas and offering storage for hay, straw, grain and farm equipment.
A "barn raising" was often a community event in which neighbors, friends and family members of all ages gathered to construct a barn. While men worked on the barn, youngsters carried water for thirsty workers and fetched needed items, and women prepared bountiful meals for the participants.
This May 1911 photograph shows a group of 41 men, women and children at a barn raising on the Wade Rethmel farm on Rethmel Road south of Evansport. The barn, which still stands, is now owned by Don and Anita Rethmel.
As time passed, wooden barns fell into disfavor due to changes in farming and livestock management practices, larger farm equipment and less maintenance intensive building alternatives. The numerous historic barns that once dotted the local landscape continue to disappear as the years pass, severing an historical tie with the area's early agricultural methods.
Oak Grove Methodist Episcopal Church
Although this photograph is not vintage, the structure certainly is. The Oak Grove Methodist Episcopal Church appears to have been established at the Daniel Colgan family’s log home in 1833. The congregation, known as the “Colgan appointment” met for some time in the Colgan one-room schoolhouse at the corner of County Roads D and 20 and was one of several Methodist churches on the “Stryker circuit” that shared one pastor.
In 1879, Lewis W. and Hannah Prettyman sold one-half acre at the southeast corner of County Roads C and 20 to the Oak Grove Methodist Episcopal Church. Period newspaper accounts indicate the wooden frame house of worship was constructed by Von Behren & Shaffer—owners of the Stryker Boat Oar Company—for $519 and dedicated August 10, 1879.
In February 1923, the Oak Grove church was sold to the Indiana Conference of the Evangelical Church; Evangelical and later Evangelical United Brethren services were conducted there for many years.
In 1949, the Pine Grove Mennonite congregation was organized in the building and worshipped there until the Pine Grove congregation completed a new church in 1951 at the corner of Ohio 34 and County Road 20.50.
In 1951 the Oak Grove church was sold to Oscar and DeNell Robarge of Bryan.
In 1979 the building was sold to the Prayer Chapel, who continues to conduct services in the historic rural church.

Covid Care Isolation Centre
Mumbai gets its most hygienic and professionally managed Covid Care isolation centre, ‘International Students Hostel Isolation Centre,’ (for the under-privileged) set up by Ashia - Hope for Life Foundation in association with MCGM.
The year 2021 has highlighted the fact that a large section of the under privileged population was struggling to get proper medical aid or having means to isolate themselves. These Covid Positive citizens had reservations in getting isolated at government isolation centres and instead would end up either not doing the test or staying at home, thereby risking their family members and neighbouring people. In addition, they may not have the means to arrange for wholesome meals and proper medication. .
Hence, Ashia – Hope for Life Foundation, decided to open a Covid care Isolation Centre for these under-privileged citizens, thereby creating awareness and spread the word - so that they don’t get scared of staying at an Isolation Centre and instead will be well taken care of by Ashia Team (in association with MCGM).
The 140 bed Covid care Isolation centre will be free of cost to any Covid Positive patient with mild or moderate symptoms, who are under privileged and don’t have the means to isolate themselves at their home. It has 70 rooms with twin beds and a private bathroom in each room, making it suitable for both geriatric and paediatric patients. The centre will be fully equipped with medical staff comprising of Doctors and Nurses, coupled with oxygen cylinders and an ambulance on standby, should any patients’ health worsen

HOW DO ANTICOAGULANTS WORK?
Anticoagulants also called blood thinners are drugs that are used to treat and prevent blood clots. They interrupt the process involved in the formation of blood clots and work by targeting the clotting factors such as thrombin, fibrin, and vitamin K. The most commonly prescribed anticoagulant is warfarin and the use of newer anticoagulants (rivaroxaban, dabigatran, apixaban, edoxaban) is becoming increasingly common.
Thrombin is a clotting factor that is formed from prothrombin. Thrombin burst (excess formation of thrombin) is feedback for the formation of fibrin from fibrinogen. Thrombin and fibrin are required for the formation of a clot to stop bleeding caused by any injury. Anticoagulant drugs focus on limiting the generation of thrombin and inhibit the activity of thrombin that exists. Vitamin K is required for the generation of thrombin, so vitamin K antagonists inhibit thrombin formation. Heparin acts directly on factor Xa and inhibits thrombin formation. Dabigatrin, an anticoagulant drug directly inhibits thrombin formation.
HOW ARE ANTICOAGULANTS USED?
Anticoagulants are used to treat and prevent blood clots, the most common cause being a deep vein thrombosis (a blood clot forms in a deep vein, usually in the legs) and/or pulmonary embolism (one or more arteries in the lungs become blocked by a blood clot). Other conditions where anticoagulants may be used include:
- Myocardial infarction (heart attack)
- Unstable angina (a condition in which the heart does not get enough blood flow and oxygen)
- Rheumatic heart disease (a condition in which the heart valves have been permanently damaged by rheumatic fever)
- Atrial fibrillation (an irregular, often rapid heart rate that commonly causes poor blood flow)
- Cerebrovascular disease
- Vascular surgery
WHAT ARE SIDE EFFECTS OF ANTICOAGULANTS?
The most common side effects of anticoagulants include:
- Chest pain, noncardiac
- Passing blood in urine and feces
- Severe bruising
- Nose bleeds and bleeding from gums
- Vomiting blood (hematemesis)
- Coughing up blood (hemoptysis)
- Shortness of breath
- Prolonged bleeding after a cut or a procedure
- Changes in hepatic enzymes causing jaundice
- Injection site itching
- Diarrhea or constipation

RSPCA seeks new homes for abandoned horses after some are found dead and dumped like rubbish
The RSPCA is seeking new homes for abandoned horses after some were found dead and dumped like rubbish.
Adoptober, the animal welfare charity's rehoming drive, revealed 886 horses still remain in its specialist equine centres and stables.
The appeal comes after the RSPCA struggled to cope with the large numbers of horses it rescues that are often found sick, injured and dying.
New figures reveal 328 horses were found new homes last year.
"We have been dealing with the effects of the horse crisis for almost seven years now, seeing sick, dying or dead horses up and down the country being neglected or dumped like rubbish," said Dr Mark Kennedy, equine welfare specialist at the RSPCA.
"It is heartbreaking that we had to rescue more than 1,000 horses nationally last year. We and other charities are struggling to cope with the large numbers continually coming into our care.
"We need help from fellow horse lovers. Please, please, please consider adopting your next horse from a charity instead of buying.
"Not only does it mean you will not be inadvertently funding irresponsible breeders and dealers but you will be freeing up a space in our specialist centres for another needy horse, helping us as we work to rehome the hundreds currently living in private boarding stables," he said.
The high costs of vet bills, over-breeding, and the rising cost of hay and feed have all contributed to the horse crisis, which has left charities like the RSPCA struggling to cope.
Adoptober aims to showcase the RSPCA's equine versatility and capability.
This includes ridden horses, companion animals or youngsters with lots of potential like pony Zak (pictured).
Zak, a nine-year-old Appaloosa, was found abandoned in Nottinghamshire and is one of the horses up for adoption.
Dr Kennedy said people know how rewarding rescuing a dog or cat can be and hopes people will see it is the same for horses.
He said: "I have rescue horses myself and know how satisfying it is working with them and bringing out their full potential.
"Seeing horses who have had a bad start in life develop into fantastic companions or successful riding and competition horses is incredibly rewarding, made even better by knowing you are helping other needy horses by freeing up spaces in welfare charity care."
The RSPCA has three specialist equine centres at Lockwood in Surrey, Gonsal Farm in Shropshire and Felledge in County Durham.
It has equine rehoming facilities at Millbrook in Surrey, Southridge in Hertfordshire and Leybourne in Kent.
Anyone in a position to offer a home to one of the RSPCA’s rescue horses can visit the charity’s rehoming pages here.

Faisalabad [Pakistan], October 17 (ANI): Pakistan Muslim League-Nowers (PML-N) Vice President Mariam Nawas slammed Imran Khan-led government domestically on Saturday while addressing a rally in Faisalabad He was accused of mishandling dengue fever.
“The whole world is facing the coronavirus, but now it’s their fault. [government’s] Incompetent, people are dying from dengue fever. “
“There is no one here like Shebaz Sharif who once visited the hospital,” she added.
Shehbaz Sharif is the leader of the opposition party of the Speaker of the National Assembly of Pakistan and the leader of the Pakistan Muslim League (N). Sharif is a critic of the Imran Khan government and has questioned some of the government’s policy decisions.
Meanwhile, Maryam Nawaz has also hit the Pakistan Tehreek-Eye Movement (PTI) government on the recent surge in prices for Pakistan’s fuels and other utilities.
“In the days of Nawaz Sharif’s prime minister, sugar was 50 rupees per kg, but three years later, electricity prices surged from 10-11 rupees per unit to 25 rupees, while exceeding 120 rupees per kg.” Said Maryam. As the dawn says.
“There was a man named Imran Khan who said he knew that your prime minister was a thief when the price of sugar went up and the flour went up, when the speed of electricity and petrol went up,” she said. I added.
“So who is the thief now?” She asked the charged crowd.
According to local PML-N sources, party leader Nawaz Sharif will also address a rally from London via videolink, and Dawn is expected to speak to other opposition leaders.
Mariam’s remarks were made in Faisalabad’s Dobigat when he was working on a rally of an anti-government alliance known as the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM), Dawn reported. (ANI)

Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): The four-century-old old Badwale Mahadev Temple in Azad market near Peer Gate in the city draws thousands of devotees every year, especially during the month of Shravan and on the day of Mahashivratri. The legend has it that lord Shiva fulfills the desire of those who pray here. This is the reason that it is called a Siddh Peeth.
A trustee of the Badwale Mahadev Temple Sanjay Agarwal said, “The temple is 400-year-old. The Lord in the form of Shiva Linga has manifested Himself. Here, Shiva Linga is Swayambhu or self-born.” Although the banyan tree is as old as the temple, it has no hanging roots or pop roots. This is the reason that the temple is also called “Badwale Mahadev.”
Every banyan tree has pop roots, but the one under which the temple stands is an exception, Agarwal said. Thousands of devotees visit the temple every year. Maharudrabhishek (bathing lord Shiva with milk, curd and water) will be held on the third Monday of Sawan.
It has a well whose water level never goes down even in the summer.
A priest of Badwale Mahadev temple Pramod Purohit said he first visited this temple in 1997. Afterwards, he has become a part of it.
There is another ancient Shiva temple in Bhopal. It is called Bhojeshwar Mahadev Temple which is more than 1,000 years old. This temple is also getting ready for Sawan when devotees from different parts of the country offer prayers. King Bhoja of the Parmar dynasty built the temple. The temple has the tallest of all Shivlingas in the country.
Apart from that, Gufa Mandir (cave temple) in Bhopal attracts thousands of devotees in Sawan. This temple is also being dolled up for the occasion.
The temple is nearly 75 years old. There are seven natural caves around the temple.


Design and construction of a flow system for controlled biofilm growth and electrochemical monitoring
MetadataShow full item record
A flow system was built to monitor biofilm growth on the inner surface of stainless steel tubes in a wide range of time intervals with adjustable initial microbial populations. Biofilm formation was detected by total plate counting (TPC) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) methods. The system was tested using Pseudomonas putida biofilms. Bacteria suspensions were flowing through the system continuously and maintained at 5.1 +/- 0.3 log CFU/ml for the entire duration of the experiment period. Biofilm was detected after 16 h by TPC, while impedance started to decrease at 28 h when biofilm populations were greater than 2.3 × 105 CFU/swab. The regression equation for the corrected Zreal (Zrc) versus log biofilm colony counts (C, 5.2 < C < 7.0) was Zrc = -23.3 C + 100.9 with R2 = 0.772.

Mikladalur Travel Guide
Mikladalur is a village on Kalsoy island located in the northern part of the unbelievable Faroe Islands. Mikladalur means “the great valley”. It is the most spacious valley on the island. There are several beautiful turf houses in the village.
The iconic statue Kópakonan stands by the shoreline in Mikladalur. In order to reach Kópakonan, directly translated to the Seal Woman, you will walk down a steep hillside on good stairs. There is a great view of the nearby Kunoy island from Mikladalur.
The most popular sight in the village is the turf house with a small turfed shack beside the house. You will find this attraction when you drive down the valley and into the village.
Once you get to Kalsoy island, you will head north along the narrow island’s east face. Before you get to Mikladalur, you will pass through three mountain tunnels. These tunnels are all single-track and they come with lay-bys to smoothen oncoming traffic.

A poem and best wishes for the autumn from Greek poet, Zacharoula Gaitanaki
My country, I want to sing
your beauties, your picturesque islands and seas.
In the clear blue waters the life giving sun
is for everybody laughter, joy and friend.
In each holy stone of yours and every shrine,
History stopped to relax a while.
In stone mule paths and in white country chapels
in small harbors sheltered from wind, in heavenly places…
Wherever I look around, I see you everywhere
and with deep emotion, my Greece, I fill with tears.
My unique country, give me your inspiration
to say hymns for you to the end of the world.
ZACHAROULA GAITANAKI, IWA
ZONI Dimou Megalopolis * 220-22 *

Paramore Premiere ‘Monster’ Music Video
MonsterVideo is trending on Twitter worldwide and it has nothing to do with Lady Gaga. This is what’s getting our tongues waggling (and fingers typing). To find out what the hype’s all about, view it above. What are you waiting for? If the video’s been wiped from Youtube on copyright claims, do not fear as you can still watch it officially via MTV (and just hope they haven’t geo-blocked your country).
If you can’t find the video on either Youtube or MTV (or maybe you can’t be bothered to watch it), I’ll sum it up for you: it’s an angst-filled medley of the trio floating on water, kicking down walls and walking the corridors of a derelict hospital complete with dead flowers. It’s also very good.

The NAMA Support Project SUTRI NAMA and its component INDOBUS held its first Steering Committee Meeting on 30 October 2018 in Jakarta, Indonesia. The meeting serves as an official mechanism for decision making at senior level involving all relevant Indonesian ministries. The meeting was chaired by the Ministry of Transportation of Indonesia and brought together representatives from the Ministry of National Development Planning (BAPPENAS), Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Public Works and Housing, Ministry of Agrarian and Spatial Plan, and Ministry of Home Affairs.
Program Director of SUTRI NAMA and INDOBUS Mr. Udo Beran in his opening remarks reiterated the project focus to support the development of sustainable urban transport modes in Indonesia through technical assistance to Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system, formulation of necessary regulations, and development of demonstration projects in supporting facilities such as parking management and non-motorised transport. Representative from the Swiss Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO) as the donor of INDOBUS component Mr. Philipp Orga reaffirmed the Swiss government’s commitment to support the agenda of the Indonesian government on urban transport and climate change mitigation.
The meeting culminated in the finalisation of the Steering Structure administering the project and the approval of a five-year Planning of Operations for SUTRI NAMA and INDOBUS. Four cities—Bandung, Batam, Pekanbaru, and Semarang—are selected as pilot sites for forthcoming SUTRI NAMA and INDOBUS implementation specifically in the form of BRT projects as the backbone for urban mass transport system. In addition, taking into account the delay in the signing of the Implementation Agreement, the Committee expressed the willingness to prolong the project duration until 31 December 2022.
With the approval from the senior-level decision-making structure, the project will now commence in full swing.

The candidate for the Presidency of Ecuador for the Citizen Revolution (RC) movement, Luisa González, officially presented last Monday (18) a complaint to the Public Ministry demanding speed in the investigation of the plan to attack her life.
Alongside Andrés Arauz, her candidate for vice president, several elected parliamentarians, and in front of supporters gathered in front of the institution’s headquarters, Luisa warned that although the facts have been known since August 30, she had to file the complaint because she felt that the process does not advance. The candidate accuses the government of President Guillermo Lasso and the prison administration of placing “obstacles”, making it difficult for suspects to be heard.
The plan, combined with the assassination of presidential candidate Fernando Villavicencio on August 9 with three shots to the head, raised the RC’s alert, causing Luisa González to start wearing a bulletproof vest and accept the support of the Armed Forces.

With 33.61% of the votes, the candidate won the presidential election on August 20, opening more than 10% of votes over Daniel Noboa, son of tycoon Álvaro, who will go to the second round on October 15.
Backpack with grenades
It is known to everyone that the perpetrator of the attack, surnamed Mancilla, carried a backpack with grenades to a political rally where he would attempt the life of President Rafael Correa’s candidate (2007-2017). “When the two police officers found me, I told them that the three grenades were for the attack on Miss Luísa”, revealed Mancilla, stressing that thanks to his alert the Police were able to identify and detain another subject with a machine gun and several ammunition with the same weapon. goal.
“They threatened my wife and daughter with a firearm to tell me that if I didn’t cooperate with the backpack and leave it where I had to leave it, they would kill my daughter and my wife,” Mancilla confessed.

Luisa highlighted that she began to protect herself more from the growing risks. “I don’t normally wear a bulletproof vest. And we talked to my team. They said: you have to put on the bulletproof vest. I told them, but if it’s a bomb, I’ll fly with a vest and everything”, explained the candidate at the beginning of the month.
“I filed a complaint that represents not only the need to protect myself, to clarify this process and find those responsible for a possible attack on my life, but also that of all Ecuadorians, because this is the impunity with which we live. The processes are not clarified or advanced”, protested Luisa.
According to the Correísta candidate, it is this impunity that leaves the country plunged into a feeling of insecurity, given the rise in organized crime violence in the last five years. The murder rate increased from 5.8 to 25.32 per 100,000 inhabitants in 2022, the highest in history.

“They release criminals who can do whatever they want with our lives, because our lives are still at risk. May the Public Ministry and the National Service for Comprehensive Attention to Persons Deprived of Liberty (SNAI) work with the speed that the case requires to move towards a safe country”, he added.
Throughout the campaign, the coordinator of the Citizen Revolution and mayor of La Libertad, Francisco Tamariz, was the victim of an attack by the Ecuadorian National Police on the night of August 18, increasing the climate of state terrorism on the eve of the first round. “They tried to kill me. If the car wasn’t armored, Ecuadorian brother, I wouldn’t be here. It would be impossible for me to be talking to you with 30 shots aimed at the truck I was in,” he clarified.
Despite the protesters’ demands, the Public Prosecutor’s Office has not yet commented on the allegations of their behavior.

Central Nervous System
Over the past decade, our understanding of ion channel function has significantly advanced thanks to groundbreaking developments in molecular genetics and cellular electrophysiology. This newfound knowledge has shed light on the crucial role that ion channels play in the central nervous system (CNS), where they are widely distributed. Further advancing the field of electrophysiology, the advent and adoption of automated patch clamp systems has allowed researchers to investigate ion channels at an exponentially faster pace than manual patch clamp.
The implications of ion channels in various neurological conditions cannot be overstated. Epilepsy, ataxia, migraine, schizophrenia, Alzheimer's disease, and other neurodegenerative diseases have all been linked to dysfunctional ion channels. Further exploring the role of ion channels in these areas may pave the way for innovative therapeutic interventions that can significantly improve the lives of individuals affected by these conditions.
Below, we highlight a key ligand and voltage-gated ion channels that have been shown to play a significant role in diseases of the central nervous system.
IonFlux systems are especially suited for research into neuronal voltage and ligand-gated ion channels. Ion channels can be transfected into recombinant cell lines or naturally expressed in primary cells or induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC).
Important System Characteristics:
Fast solution exchange
Continuous flow enables rapid washing to prevent DESENSITIZATION
OPTIMIZED FOR Optogenetics assays
Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors
Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors (nAChRs) are expressed in both the peripheral and central nervous systems. nAChRs mediate fast excitatory transmission at neuromuscular junctions and some synapses. Mutations in nAChR genes can cause congenital myasthenic syndromes (CMS), a group of disorders that impair neuromuscular transmission and cause muscle weakness. Some drugs that target nAChRs include nicotine, which is addictive and stimulates alertness and cognition, and varenicline, which is used to aid smoking cessation.
Gamma-aminobutyric acid Receptors
Gamma-aminobutyric acid receptors (GABARs) are the main inhibitory receptors in the CNS and mediate fast synaptic inhibition by opening Cl- channels. Mutations in GABAR genes can cause epilepsy, intellectual disability, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), Angelman syndrome, Rett syndrome, and other neurodevelopmental disorders. Some drugs that target GABARs include baclofen, which is used to treat spasticity and alcohol dependence, and zolpidem, which is used to treat insomnia.
Glutamate receptors (GluRs) are the main excitatory receptors in the CNS and mediate fast synaptic transmission by opening Na+ and Ca2+ channels. GluRs consists of three subtypes: alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA), N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA), and kainate receptors. Mutations in GluR genes can contribute to the development of epilepsy, intellectual disability, ASD, schizophrenia, and other neuropsychiatric disorders. Some drugs that target GluRs include ketamine, which is an anesthetic and antidepressant that blocks NMDA receptors, and memantine, which is used to treat Alzheimer's disease by modulating NMDA receptor activity.
Glycine receptors (GlyRs) are expressed mainly in the spinal cord and brainstem and mediate fast inhibitory transmission by opening Cl- channels. GlyR are involved in regulating motor control, pain, and breathing. Mutations in GlyR genes can cause hyperekplexia, a disorder characterized by exaggerated startle responses and muscle stiffness. Some drugs that target GlyRs include strychnine, which is a potent convulsant and neurotoxin that blocks GlyRs, and glycine, which is a co-agonist of NMDA receptors and has neuroprotective effects.
P2X receptors (P2XRs) are expressed in both the peripheral and central nervous systems and mediate fast excitatory transmission by opening Na+, K+, and Ca2+ channels. They are activated by extracellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is released from damaged or stressed cells. They are involved in regulating pain, inflammation, immune response, blood pressure, and neurotransmission. Mutations in P2XR genes can cause dysautonomia, a disorder that affects the autonomic nervous system. Some drugs that target P2XRs include suramin and pyridoxalphosphate-6-azophenyl-2',4'-disulfonic acid (PPADS), which are antagonists of P2XRs.
Voltage-gated Na+ channels are essential for generating action potentials and propagating nerve impulses along axons. Mutations in Na+ channel genes can cause various forms of epilepsy, such as Dravet syndrome, generalized epilepsy with febrile seizures plus (GEFS+), and benign familial neonatal-infantile seizures (BFNIS). Some antiepileptic drugs, such as phenytoin and carbamazepine, act by blocking Na+ channels and reducing neuronal excitability.
Voltage-gated K+ channels are responsible for repolarizing the membrane after an action potential and modulating neuronal firing patterns. Mutations in K+ channel genes can also cause epilepsy, as well as ataxia, deafness, and developmental delay. For example, mutations in KCNQ2 and KCNQ3 genes, which encode subunits of the M-type K+ channel, can cause benign familial neonatal seizures (BFNS). Some antiepileptic drugs, such as retigabine, act by opening K+ channels and stabilizing the resting membrane potential.
Voltage-gated Ca2+ channels are involved in regulating intracellular Ca2+ levels and triggering neurotransmitter release at synapses. Mutations in Ca2+ channel genes can cause various neurological disorders, such as familial hemiplegic migraine (FHM), episodic ataxia type 2 (EA2), spinocerebellar ataxia type 6 (SCA6), and Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS). Some drugs that target Ca2+ channels include gabapentin and pregabalin, which are used to treat neuropathic pain and anxiety.
Potentiation of GABA receptors and idiopatic hypersomnia
IonFlux Mercury HT was recently used in a recent study correlating the existence of naturally occurring positive allosteric modulators of GABAA receptors in extracted cerebrospinal fluid of idiopathic hypersomnia patients.
Screening positive allosteric modulators for NMDA Receptors
NMDAR hypofunction is implicated in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. Positive allosteric modulators (PAMs) are molecules capable of enhancing a receptor's signal. In a recent study, IonFlux HT technology was used in a screening pipeline to identify GluN2A selective NMDAR PAMs.
Identifying potential analgesic candidates
Glycine receptors play a key role in mediating inhibitory neurotransmission and hence contribute to the regulation of pain signaling in the dorsal horn. This recent study used IonFlux HT technology to identify positive allosteric modulators for GlyRα3.

In it effort to attain sustainable food security in the country, the federal government has begin stockpiling grain produce from the 2017/2018 agricultural season in Dutsin-ma silos, Katsina state.
The 25, 000 metric tons capacity grain silos complex are located at Dabawa village of Dutsin-ma local government area of the state.
According to our source, over 30 fully loaded trucks conveying the grains were seen surrounding the silos area today.
The source also revealed to our correspondent that more trucks are expected to arrive the reserve anytime soon.
The government was reserving a few silos in its custody to enable it to provide immediate food relief in times of emergencies, while guaranteeing minimum price scheme so as to allow the farmers to get good remunerative prices for their produce.

A few of you may have seen where I posted a video of my daughter last week. She was throwing one of those terrible two tantrums earlier this year because we had left the playground at McDonalds. She really doesn’t like the food so much as the toys and play place that are part of the eating experience. In case you missed it, here it is:
To be fair, she does have a good side. She can be quite gentle and funny. Here’s a clip of her putting her baby bunny to sleep:
I’m not sure that these huge mood swings ever leave us as we get older. I think we just learn to control them in public. I can tell you that I sing my daughter a lullaby every night. She’s one of the only people who requests my magnificent serenading on a daily basis so I’m more than willing to help. But I also know that if one of my boys blows up a latex balloon in my presence, I will turn into the Incredible Hulk (and they don’t like me when I’m angry).
It took three kids for me to actually be able to laugh at the tantrums and to realize that they really are funny if you sit back and watch. Perhaps I should have someone record my Hulk moments so that I can then laugh at myself.
I was reminded recently that anger is not really a bad thing. We always think of it as a “sin” because it is usually directed at someone and we really don’t want others to direct anger toward us so why should we be angry at others?
But Jesus got angry. He got angry a lot. He turned over tables. He called people names. I think he even got a bit snarky at times.
But what most of us want to remember is the Jesus with the children around him. The one who tells stories. The Jesus who holds a lamb. The Baby Jesus who doesn’t cry.
And what we really have is both. Jesus the angry and Jesus the gentle. Jesus the just and Jesus the giver of grace.
So the next time your child throws a fit and later on gives you an unsolicited hug, remember that they are being Jesus-like. Its our job to help them control their emotions so that they will be the most effective at just the right time.
Or you could just ask them if they want fries with that.
Until Everyone Hears,

WWR Article Summary (tl;dr) Starting in early 2019, 100 Stockton residents will receive $500 a month for 18 months. The goal is to document the effect of a guaranteed income on their quality of life.
Six years ago, facing housing foreclosures and a corruption investigation by the state, Stockton, Calif., became the largest city at that time in U.S. history to file for bankruptcy.
Now, the diverse, working-class community is out of bankruptcy, and the city’s 27-year-old mayor, Michael Tubbs, has a radical plan he’s testing to reinvent his hometown: Give every resident $500 a month.
The idea is called universal basic income (UBI). It can be traced back to the 16th century but has only started to be tested in the 20th century — and largely outside of the United States.
Several California cities — Stockton being the latest — are getting in the game, thanks to financial backing from Silicon Valley entrepreneurs.
Mayor Tubbs’ office has partnered with the Reinvent South Stockton Coalition and the Economic Security Project — co-chaired by Facebook co-founder Chris Hughes — to launch the Stockton Economic Empowerment Demonstration (SEED).
Starting in early 2019, 100 Stockton residents will receive $500 a month for 18 months. The goal is to document the effect of a guaranteed income on their quality of life.
Natalie Foster, co-chair of the Economic Security Project, first met Mayor Tubbs at a conference last year, where he told her that he had been interested in universal basic income since reading Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s book, Where Do We Go From Here: Chaos or Community?, in which the civil rights leader advocated for guaranteed income as a solution to poverty.
SEED is supported by a $1 million grant from the Economic Security Project and about $200,000 more in private donations.

Top 10 Questions IT Leaders Should Ask of Data Science Platforms
A data science platform is where all data science work takes place and acts as the system of record for predictive models. While a few leading model-driven businesses have made the data science platform an integral part of their enterprise architecture, most companies are still trying to understand what a data science platform is and how it fits into their architecture. Data science is unlike other technical disciplines, and models are not like software or data. Therefore, a data science platform requires a different type of technology platform.
This document provides IT leaders with the top 10 questions to ask of data science platforms to ensure the platform handles the uniqueness of data science work.

Classification of anti-corrosion steel pipes for natural gas
1. When there are many types of corrosion media in the steel pipe, such as acid, alkali, salt, oxidant and water vapor, the coating should be chemically inert, resistant to acid and alkali salt corrosion, dense coating structure, good waterproof permeability, adhesion Strong and other features. In such cases, IPN8710 is suitable for corrosion protection.
2. FBE epoxy powder anti-corrosion structure: adopt electrostatic spraying process to coat epoxy powder on the surface of steel pipe and form a film at one time. The coating has the characteristics of easy coating operation, good impact resistance and bending resistance, and high temperature resistance.
3. Due to the small thickness of the epoxy powder external anti-corrosion layer, its impact resistance requirements are higher; modifying the asphalt of petroleum, increasing the temperature of the asphalt anti-corrosion pipe, and enhancing the penetration resistance of deep-rooted plants are to increase the An important way of anti-corrosion layer performance.
1. 3PE anti-corrosion pipeline has strong sealing, long-term operation can save a lot of energy, reduce energy costs, and protect the environment.
2. 2PE/3PE anti-corrosion structure: Electrostatic spraying epoxy powder on the surface of steel pipe and side-winding adhesive, side-winding polyethylene anti-corrosion layer, combined with the three excellent performances to improve the overall quality of the anti-corrosion pipeline, with chemical resistance cathode stripping, mechanical damage resistance.

The chief investigator will be responsible for preparing a final report of the trial which should be provided to the sponsor, the ethics review board, and any other authorities determined by local legislation. The final report is a comprehensive description of the study after its completion including a presentation and evaluation of the results, statistical analyses and a critical ethical, statistical and clinical appraisal. The results of the clinical research conducted on acupuncture should be published in a timely fashion and must include all adverse events. Even studies which fail to demonstrate effectiveness should be published, as selective publication, showing only results that are favourable, will only lead to a form of misconception known as publication bias.

Views Read Edit View history. The inquiry into his death found that Mousa’s death was caused by “factors including lack of food and water, heat, exhaustion, fear, previous injuries and the hooding and stress positions used by British troops – and a final struggle with his guards”.

The Village was formerly known as the United Artists Cinema 150 theater. It was the last Dimension-150 theater in existence before it was shut down.
Now, it has become a mid-level-capacity (approximately 750-1,200 person capacity) live music venue. It boasts approximately 600 very comfortable, crush-velvet movie theater seats (including the standard cupholder armrests) left over from when it was a theater. It also houses the largest indoor live music venue sound system in the state (measuring 118dB in the middle of the room!).
The Village is known for mainly hosting indie rock shows, a fair amount of electronic music shows, as well as some local rap/hip-hop shows.


Name: Tower Building
Address: 600-606 Olive St.
Date of Demolition: 1988
Architectural Firm/Architect: Albert B. Groves
Front facade: Terra Cotta
Property Type Codes: Commercial building, Central Business District masonry
Dimensions: 88´ x 150´
The six-story Tower Building was designed by Albert B. Groves, and built in two stages, 1913 an 1920-21. The original section abutted the Erker (Boyd´s #2) Building and extends two bays east. The steel frame structure created a grid pattern which was expressed in the facade through narrow, glazed white terra cotta covered piers and spandrels. The second and third floors were divided into two bays, one triple-windowed and one quadruple-windowed. The top three floors have broad single bays of nine windows. The spandrel panels above the first and second floors were adorned with terra cotta rosettes set in quatrefoils which formed a band. The above next three stories were unadorned paneled terra cotta spandrels. The bracketed cornice was underscored by egg-and-dart molding, with a simple, unembellished terra cotta parapet wall finishing the facade. In 1920, the building was leased by Boyd´s Clothing Store, the city´s leading retailer of men´s clothing.
The 1921 addition, supervised by Tom P. Barnett, fronted both on Olive and 6th Streets. The reinforced concrete addition continued the pier and spandrel pattern of the original building. The tall first story introduced a mezzanine level, which was carried through to the Tower Building. The Tower Building was altered to accomodated the new level. The addition added two six-story bays on Olive. Corner piers accentuated by corner beads with reveals framed the entire Olive Street facade (Olive Street Terra Cotta District, NR 1/2/86).
Boyd´s later expanded to fill 608 and 610 Olive along with the Tower Building.

Swedes and movie buffs, especially fans of Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol and John Wick, were shocked to learn of Michael Nyqvist’s death at the age of 56 on 27th June.
I discovered him through some of his most popular Swedish films. Ironically, the news of his passing came out while I was finishing the Millenium trilogy, which had catapulted the Swedish actor to international fame.
And so I wanted to rewatch his films and catch up with most of his works. Naturally, I couldn’t watch everything due to lack of time and availability, and some of those I watched were hard to get. But I’m lucky to have a native Swede and a big movie fan as a partner, so I thank Matt for all the help and patience throughout this month! 💕
Today, one month from his passing, I’m proposing my personal top 20 films with Michael Nyqvist. My ranking is based on a combination of the films’ quality, Nyqvist’s performances and the relevance of his roles.
My Top 20 Michael Nyqvist Films
20. Among Us (Änglavakt, 2010)
When their son falls into a coma after an accident, Ernst (Nyqvist) remains rational while his wife Cecilia (Izabella Scorupco) is desperate for a deeper meaning, especially after meeting a mysterious stranger who seems to have special powers.
What could have been a significant film ultimately falls flat, but I think it’s still worth mentioning Nyqvist’s part as the rational man who doesn’t believe in supernatural powers, an attitude akin to my own.
19. We Can Be Heroes! (Bäst i Sverige!, 2002)
Marcello (Ariel Petsonk) is a bullied kid who dreams of becoming a pilot, in contrast with his parents’ desires, but thanks to his new classmate Fatima (Zamand Hägg), he starts finding his courage.
The film’s premise is sweet, although the final execution is rather bland. Nyqvist is Giuseppe, Marcello’s dad, and he’s the best thing in this movie. He interprets the classic Italian stereotype, a macho obsessed with football, and that’s what makes him funny. Interestingly, Nyqvist was really half-Italian.
18. A Serious Game (Den allvarsamma leken, 2016)
This film, based on a novel by Hjalmar Söderberg, tells the story of journalist Arvid (Sverrir Gudnason) and Lydia (Karin Franz Körlof) who consume their love while they’re both married to others, which leads to trouble.
I had high expectations of this movie because I love historical dramas and I’m a fan of Gudnason, but unfortunately, it turned out to be bland. Nyqvist appears as Markel, Arvid’s boss at the journal, and I think he was one of the few pleasant characters to watch. In fact, the actor won a Guldbagge (the most famous film awards in Sweden) for this supporting role.
17. Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol (2011)
This series of action flicks needs no introduction. In this instalment, Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) and his team need to stop Kurt Hendricks (Nyqvist), a Swedish-Russian nuclear strategist, from using the Russian nuclear codes he stole to initiate a global war.
I’m not a fan of this genre, but it was still enjoyable to watch. Despite Nyqvist being notable for this role, I am not ranking this higher because I was disappointed by his rather small amount of screen-time and by its ending.
16. The Guy in the Grave Next Door (Grabben i graven bredvid, 2002)
Desirée (Elisabet Carlsson), a librarian and modern city woman, falls in love with Benny (Nyqvist), a farmer whom she met while visiting her husband’s grave. Their love will only survive if they overcome personal differences and social prejudice.
This movie – based on a novel by Katarina Mazetti – is nothing memorable, but Nyqvist shines as the good-natured Benny who can’t let go of his country life. The actor’s performance is both funny and emotional, and he deservedly won a Guldbagge for Best Actor in a Leading Role.
15. The Girl in the Book (2015)
Alice (Emily VanCamp), a book editor working in a publishing house, is forced to confront her past when Milan (Nyqvist), a bestselling author, reappears in her life.
It’s not a great film, and the ending concerning Alice’s character was pretty disappointing. Nyqvist plays a difficult character as there seems to be nothing redeemable about him. However, it was interesting to see him in such a role.
14. Kennedy’s Brain (Kennedys Hirn, 2010)
This German-Swedish co-production is based on a novel by Henning Mankell, the Nordic noir author famous for creating Wallander. Louise Cantor (Iris Berben) finds Henrik (Andreas Wilson), her journalist son, dead in his apartment, but doesn’t accept it as suicide. Thus, she sets off to Africa and finds herself right in the middle of the scandal her son had been investigating before his death.
Nyqvist plays Lars Hakansson, a member of the Swedish embassy in Mozambique. He only appears in the second part of this TV movie, but what makes this worth a mention is that his character is part of the final twist in the thriller.
13. The Black Pimpernel (Svarta nejlikan, 2007)
Based on a real person, this movie is about Harald Edelstam (Nyqvist), the Swedish ambassador in Chile who saved thousands of people from execution after Pinochet’s coup, by taking them to his embassy and sending them off to Sweden.
While I think this film is just average, I liked Nyqvist’s performance as the heroic ambassador who risks his job and his life to protect people of various nationalities.
12. The Girl King (2015)
This is a film based on the life of Queen Kristina of Sweden (Malin Buska), focusing on her tomboyish character, her interest in Descartes, her Catholic belief as opposed to Sweden’s Lutheranism, and her rumoured sexual relationship with Countess Ebba Sparre (Sarah Gadon), her lady-in-waiting.
Nyqvist is Chancellor Axel Oxenstierna, the man who trains her to become a queen. He’s more interested in Sweden’s future than Kristina’s, so he tries to impose Lutheranism and a strict behaviour on her. While this movie is nowhere near great, I still think it’s worth watching, and it doesn’t deserve all the negative reviews.
11. Europa Report (2013)
A group of astronauts are on their way to Europa, one of Jupiter’s moons, on a mission to find traces of life, but disturbing events occur which are recorded on the spaceship’s cameras.
This is the most engrossing and chilling film I’ve seen in a while. Nyqvist plays Andrei Blok, a Russian engineer who is clearly the most affected by what goes on in and around the ship. I think he was the most interesting character, although all six astronauts turn out to be heroes in their own way.
10. John Wick (2014)
Retired hitman John Wick (Keanu Reeves) returns to the underworld to avenge what he lost in his life and comes across Viggo Tarasov (Nyqvist), a Russian crime boss who wants to protect his son Iosef (Alfie Allen), the perpetrator of Wick’s ire.
I liked this film more than I expected: it’s visually appealing, and the fighting scenes are slick and exciting to watch. Although Nyqvist was often typecasted in such roles in American movies (unfortunately), I liked this villain because he respects Wick and doesn’t immediately go all out against him. Therefore I thought he was a rather atypical antagonist.
9. Home Sweet Home (Hem ljuva hem, 2001)
Nyqvist is Kent, an unemployed and ill-tempered man who inflicts abuse on his wife Sara (Kristina Törnqvist) and son Stefan (Anastasios Soulis). Until one day, the kid acts on impulse against his father and the man ends up in a wheelchair.
Kent’s abuse is hard to bear, and you can’t help but root for the victims. However, thanks to flashbacks of their better days and Kent’s spiralling into despair, it becomes easier to understand his character. I loved Nyqvist in this complex role, and I think this movie deserves more attention.
8. Mother of Mine (Äideistä parhain, 2005)
Eero (Topi Majaniemi), among thousands of Finnish children put in Swedish foster homes during WWII, arrives at the Jönssons’ farm but finds it hard to adapt. He misses his mum and his foster mum, Signe (Maria Lundqvist), is not very welcoming.
Nyqvist plays Hjalmar, the foster dad. It is only a supporting role (which earned him another Guldbagge nomination), but it’s the most pleasant character in the whole movie and provides a good balance when opposed to Lundqvist’s strict figure.
7. Suddenly (Underbara älskade, 2006)
Lasse (Nyqvist) and his teenage son Jonas (Anastasios Soulis) survive a car accident in which the wife and the younger son die, and the two grow distant as they grieve in different ways.
It’s a quiet, visually-appealing film about the serious subject of grief. Nyqvist’s character evokes strong emotions as he’s at first incapable of dealing with the pain of loss, thus alienating his son.
6. The Millennium Trilogy (2009)
Based on the famous Stieg Larsson novels, Nyqvist is Mikael Blomkvist, an investigative journalist who unexpectedly teams up with the young and asocial hacker Lisbeth Salander (Noomi Rapace).
While Rapace is clearly the star of the series, Nyqvist’s character is interesting to follow as a journalist who’s ready to do anything to expose the truth. His relationship with Lisbeth is affectionate, and it develops in an unconventional way.
5. Breaking out (Vägen ut, 1999)
Actor Reine (Björn Kjellman) quits his theatre job, and when he takes up another job in Kumla prison, he tries to set up a play acted by some of the prisoners. Diego (Nyqvist) and other inmates join in, but their intention is to use the performance as a way to escape prison.
This film, chock-full of great actors (Shanti Roney takes the cake here), is a mix of tense drama and heartwarming scenes. This is one of Nyqvist’s first roles worth mentioning which showcases his ability to alternate between serious and comedic acting.
4. Together (Tillsammans, 2000)
It’s the mid-70s, and Elisabeth (Lisa Lindgren) flees from her drunken and abusive husband Rolf (Nyqvist), finding refuge at her brother’s (Gustaf Hammarsten), who lives in a leftist community.
Despite not being exactly a positive character, Nyqvist’s Rolf is fun to watch, especially in one scene where he’s in a Chinese restaurant with his kids and cannot contain his anger against the staff. This role earned the actor a Guldbagge nomination as a supporting actor.
3. My So-Called Father (Min så kallade pappa, 2014)
Pregnant Malin (Vera Vitali), abandoned by her boyfriend (Sverrir Gudnason), tries to reunite with her estranged father Martin (Nyqvist), but before she has the chance to reveal herself, he suffers a stroke and wakes up with memory loss.
Nyqvist’s Martin is at turns mean and funny as he has to learn everything from scratch. Thanks also to Malin’s dual role of daughter and mother to her newly-found dad, this is a sweet film about parenthood which, I think, deserves more attention.
2. The Colony (Colonia, 2015)
Lena (Emma Watson), looking for her abducted boyfriend Daniel (Daniel Brühl) in a Chile just overtaken by Pinochet, infiltrates in the heinous Colonia Dignidad, an inescapable sect managed by Paul Schäfer (Nyqvist).
This film, based on real events, is gripping from start to end and both Watson and Brühl are great, but Nyqvist is superb as the malevolent preacher guilty of atrocious abuse. In my opinion, this is the best villain role Nyqvist ever did, and it also earned him a nomination for a German Film Award.
1. As It is in Heaven (Så som i himmelen, 2004)
Daniel Daréus (Nyqvist), a renowned music conductor forced to retire due to cardiac problems, goes back to his childhood village in Norrland, where he ends up directing the local church choir.
This Oscar-nominated movie about a small community’s coming together is marked by its beautiful setting and simplicity. Although there are a handful of other actors that shine in this film, Nyqvist’s performance is deeply moving as he portrays a moody man in crisis who falls in love and helps people find their voice.
I’m concluding the post with “Gabriella’s song” which is sung by one of the characters in As It is in Heaven. It’s immensely beautiful with touching lyrics about life, and in this video, it is accompanied by clips from the film.
R.I.P. Michael Nyqvist (8 November 1960 – 27 June 2017)
