Citizens of Danbury to Hold Vigil For Orlando Victims
Standing together to express love and compassion.
A gathering of strength and an out pouring of love often not only helps to heal but it sends a message of hope. Tuesday night in Danbury, the stage is set to do just that.
In a press release statement from the First Congregational Church of Danbury, there will be an inter-faith vigil remembering the victims of the Orlando nightclub shootings.
To stand united, and be a part of the vigil, while showing there is no room for hate and violence is a strong goal. The release states:
We will honor those lost in the shooting at Pulse Nightclub in Orlando, support the LGBTQ community, reaffirm support for our Muslim community, and decry hate and violence.
The vigil for the victims of the Orlando mass shooting is scheduled for 7 p.m. Tuesday, June 21, at the First Congregational Church of Danbury, 164 Deer Hill Avenue in Danbury. People from all surrounding communities are of course welcome to participate.
One of the victims of the shooting was Torrington, CT native, Kimberly Morris. A vigil was held for her on Friday in Torrington.


Closed since early April after potentially explosive material was found at the former military base, officials are aiming to open a portion of the Openlands Lakeshore Preserve by Memorial Day weekend.
The nature preserve in Highland Park was closed while the U.S. Department of Defense conducted a safety evaluation to determine the origin of the explosives and whether more could be located on the land formerly used by Fort Sheridan, a onetime U.S. Army base.
Officials with the nonprofit Openlands, which operates the preserve, issued a statement Tuesday indicating the military’s evaluation was not as thorough as they required. They expressed hope the preserve can partially open before the Memorial Day weekend while a more thorough study is conducted before the rest of the grounds are reopened.
A joint statement from the Army and Navy said the explosives were not remnants of the period until 1955 when the military conducted basic training at the site. Openlands officials said that conclusion was insufficient.
“Based on the ambiguity of the military statement and the lack of information that Openlands has received from the military,” Openlands said a further investigation is necessary before the rest of the preserve can open.
After an explosive device was found April 6 and more material on April 9, Openlands closed the preserve.
In April, a city of Highland Park spokesperson said a device believed to be an old hand grenade was found at the bottom of a bluff on April 6. Then on April 9, materials that may have originated from aircraft flares from World War II were discovered in the same area, she said.
The Army first evaluated the property before transferring it to the Navy to house personnel from Naval Station Great Lakes before Fort Sheridan was permanently closed in 1993, according to the Department of Defense statement. Up until 1955, there were Army ranges used for basic training at the site. Openlands opened its preserve in 2011.
When the property was transferred to Openlands, the Department of Defense provided information that should have documented where military training took place, according to the Department of Defense statement. It also showed where training activities took place and where ammunition was fired into the lake.
“The locations where the suspected ordnance were found, were not near the former training ranges or firing sites operated by the Army on the former Fort Sheridan,” the Department of Defense said. “The suspected munitions are most likely not from the former Fort Sheridan upland ranges and may have washed up from the lake over the winter.”
Concluding the materials found last month were “anomalies,” the Army and Navy decided no further investigation was necessary.
John Sheppard, the public information officer at Great Lakes, said he believes there is no reason for concern.
“I believe it’s safe,” Sheppard said. “I look forward to walking the trails this summer.”
Openlands officials said they are not convinced the information provided by the Department of Defense means it is safe to fully open the preserve. The group intends to “ensure due diligence is followed for the safety of all visitors.”
“No onsite investigation of the land, water, or lakebed was completed,” Openlands said in its statement.
During the initial phase of reopening, the upland trails overlooking the bluff and Lake Michigan, the Bartlett Ravine and both staircases will be available for public use. The bluff and beach trail will remain closed pending Openlands’ investigation.
Temporary fences were spotted Saturday at all entrances as well as along the roadways adjacent to the preserve where residents could walk onto the grounds. A private security guard on Saturday at the southern entrance said he was hired by Openlands.

I designed this cozy, squishy infinity scarf to be worn either like a long necklace or doubled up into a warm cowl. I love how the fabric drapes and the subtle variations of the yarn twinkle with the stitch pattern!
This quick infinity scarf/cowl/scarf is knit in a fun stitch that looks great on either side. The ends of the scarf are grafted together to create a loop, so you can wear it as a long scarf or doubled up into a cozy cowl that will keep your neck and ears warm.
Many thanks to Chris for modeling!

This week on “The Journey: Big Ten Basketball 2014,” we learn how and why Ohio State’s Shannon Scott and Sam Thompson traded places in the starting lineup and sparked the Buckeyes. Also, see why Chris Collins’ most important recruiting win at Northwestern so far was keeping senior Drew Crawford in Evanston. We also explore the special family connection between Michigan State’s Denzel Valentine and his brother Drew.
There were three entertaining Big Ten hockey games Friday night. Michigan State kicked off the evening with a shootout win over Penn State. Ohio State followed with an impressive 2-1 victory over Wisconsin, and Minnesota topped Michigan, 5-3 in a top-10 matchup. Catch up on all the scores, stats and in-game highlights in this post.
There is no greater asset to a team than a good homecourt advantage. And, there are several intimidating venues in the Big Ten. I polled seven writers who cover the league and asked them what they thought was the most intimidating Big Ten arena.
The college football world is abuzz with the recent NCAA Football Rules Committee proposal to recommend a change that will allow defensive units to substitute within the first 10 seconds of the 40-second play clock, with the exception of the final two minutes of each half, starting with the 2014 season.
Joe Camporeale-USA TODAY Sports
It’s Friday, which means it’s time for Three-Pointers, a chance to take the temperature of the Big Ten in several different areas. It’s a good time to be John Beilein and Michigan. Conversely, it’s not such a good time to be Tom Crean and Indiana.
College wrestling fans are in for a treat this week as BTN and BTN2Go will provide live coverage of the semifinal and final round of the NWCA National wrestling Duals hosted by Ohio State on Monday, Feb. 17. The semifinal round will begin at 1 p.m. ET, with the finals to follow at 5 p.m. ET.

The seashells that adorned the garment of the Stone Age man have been
preserved for nearly 7,000 years. (Aurélie Zemour)
In the first study of its kind, archaeologists have identified the garment a body was buried in between 4950 and 4800 BCE in the Mediterranean, discovering details down to the embroidered design of seashells lining the jacket.
The body, belonging to an adult man between 20 and 50 years old and estimated to be 1.67 metres (about 5'5") tall, was buried in the 5th Millennium BCE in Avignon, southern France. The grave was first excavated in the 1970s, but has now gone through modern laboratory scrutiny to reveal the nature of the clothes the man was buried in, according to a paper published in the Journal of Field Archaeology.

We hope to achieve our goal, to “Grow a Brighter Future” by helping to raise healthy and happy children in our preschool and summer camp programs, educating the public on how to grow their own food and providing a garden space for them to practice those skills, and utilizing sustainable practices to nurture the plants and animals that share our lives. Through these practices, we nourish bodies, minds, and environment.
The new farm has multiple gardens that are growing and changing with the needs of the farm and the people that we help. This includes a sensory garden with plants to touch, taste, and smell; a community garden where volunteers and families in need work together to bring healthy food to the families’ tables; a whimsical garden, populated with over-sized flowers made from teacups and saucers and friendly garden toads and gnomes, where the children scatter seeds.
The farm also has lots of animals, of course. Caring for animals has many well-known therapeutic benefits, and we do what we can to provide the opportunity to reap those benefits to people of all ages and abilities. If some of those are unable to come to the farm, we even bring the animals out for a visit. The children in our care enjoy these benefits more than most, as they help care for the animals and enjoy the companionship on a daily basis.
With all of this beauty and all of the teaching and learning opportunities the farm provides, we feel blessed to be able to provide access to our resource library and monthly classes for members to learn valuable skills and healthy living habits.
Your contributions are greatly appreciated and necessary to the growth and maintenance of the farm. Rescued animals need feed, their housing needs constant upkeep in the form of fresh hay and repairs, the gardens need various things based on the season including seeds and tools, not to mention all of the new building and expansion projects we have planned for the future. You can help us grow our dream of a brighter future.

Oh, how I love Barbados cherry! From spring through fall, it pumps out flowers for pollinators and edible fruits for us and eager birds. Designer Elizabeth McGreevy notes: “Did you know that back in the mid-1900s the U.S. considered it a food staple because of its vitamin C content?”
Since I planted red-veined sorrel a few years ago, it’s always a thrill to see it magically appear again every fall. I like its tangy flavor in salads but confess that the color’s what first grabbed me. Joining it here: rain lilies and Penstemon cobaea.
I’m planting oodles of annual calendulas. Long-lasting and tolerant of temperature swings until they finally give up in late May, I hope mine grow up as pretty as the ones at the American Botanical Council.
Hmm, I might add some borage like they did. What an eye-catching pair—that silvery borage and drooping lavender flowers against sprightly orange and yellow.
Gayle Engels’ recipe for calendula skin cream:
• Spread petals on paper towels to dry in a cool, dark place.
• Mix dried petals in a jar with the oil of your choice: olive, apricot, kernel or almond.
• Put in a cool, dark place and shake now and then for about six weeks.
• Strain. Use to soften skin or as healing balm for inevitable garden scratches.
We can eat the petals, while bees, butterflies and other tiny pollinators go for the nectar and pollen. Find out more on Down to Earth with Daphne.
When I tasted microgreens a few years ago, it was instant love. Growing your own is also inexpensive instant gratification and a fun indoor project for kids. Trisha’s got the tips for mini-harvests of tasty nutrition with bok choy, radish, arugula, sunflowers, peas, and lots more.
To protect crops from deer, squirrels, and birds, Viewer Picture goes to Sharon Black-Greene. She recycled a milk crate to fend deer from her young Mexican honeysuckle, a quick way to cover a few strawberries, too. Her helpful garden snake thinks she installed it for agility training.
Absolutely, the biggest change I’ve seen in just a few years is how gardeners are mingling food, herbs, and ornamentals, even in the front yard—rather than relegating each to its isolated bed in back.
To style up, color up and eat up in bountiful beautiful gardens. Tom meets with Adelante Landscape designer Cheryl Beesley, author of Landscaping with Edible Plants in Texas.
Her book covers it all, from design concepts to organic fertilizers, soil amendments, pest control and seed saving. And so much more!
Her illustrations make it so easy to prune fruit trees and create fruiting espaliers.
Cheryl magnifies forms and colors through fruiting trees, perennials and annuals.
And hey, she’s having a viewing party at noon this Saturday! Meet her at Tiniest Bar in Texas (managed by husband James) to talk edible plants over a plant-based beverage!
From flowers to food, our soil pH rules what we can grow. And ours is irrevocably alkaline. I’ve heard everything under the sun (or soil) about how to alter it. Forget the quick fixes and see why Daphne says “dance with the one that brung you.”
On tour, Linda Peterson matched a contemporary, energy-efficient house and serene courtyard with equally resourceful plants.
I first met this garden on a San Antonio Water Saver’s tour in fall 2014 and returned with director Ed and Daniel Veliz on a softly misting day last May. What a perfect moment to capture the intrinsic house and garden bond that Linda and Carl Peterson created!
They’d owned the property for years, giving them time to research the latest energy conserving architecture. Linda decided to go for water-thrifty outdoor design, too. Instead of lawn, they built a long-desired courtyard that preserves privacy on the corner lot.
Carefully, they preserved the live oaks’ heritage architecture.
Since many months call for outdoor dining and gatherings, they anchored the courtyard with a fireplace. Even when not in use, it’s naturally where people gravitate.
To ground the courtyard’s serenity, they chose Pennsylvania bluestone in a green hue.
Linda carried the flagstones to the front in a neighborly connection.
Before she was ready to plant, Linda used leftovers to define a tiny front yard secret garden. Its intent is to direct rainwater drainage and discretely provide privacy from the house next door (once theirs!).
To conserve water and attract pollinators, Linda paired drought-tough structural evergreens with softer perennials that make seasonal exclamations.
For a wrap-around walk, she punctuates standout notations with unifying swaths.
They made this neighborhood picnic table from an old gate at their former home next door.
In a shady, narrow back side garden, Linda created a cozy hangout where Pygmy bamboo gently screens.
It’s a great vantage point to watch the birds take a dip in her grandfather’s faux bois birdbath fountain.
A priority when they built the house was indoor/outdoor views with commercial energy-efficient windows. Linda wanted micro-patios to view from indoors or to step out from the kitchen or living room for an intimate garden respite. With a cattle panel screen, framed by fig ivy and flavored by hanging plants, they get a view to the garden without engaging in the neighbor’s life.
On another patio, she designed a screen from leftover metal roof panels.
There’s so much more, so here’s the whole story!
Thanks for stopping by! See you next time, Linda

A talented schoolboy footballer has won damages after hospital medics failed to spot a broken foot – which he claims ruined his dreams of a professional career.
Kaine Beckett, 17, was dropped by Walsall FC after the injury saw him unable to keep up with his training for nearly a year following the mistake at Manor Hospital.
The hospital trust has now agreed an undisclosed payout after a hearing at the High Court, sitting in Birmingham.
But the pay-out has come too late for Kaine, from Sutton Coldfield, who has been forced to abandoned his soccer dream – and plans to study medicine instead.
“I’m devastated. When I watch the World Cup now I feel frustrated, very frustrated,’’ he said.
“I see players I’ve known getting professional and international opportunities and think that could have been me. I played along Isaiah Brown who is now with Chelsea.
“It was all in my hands, if I had put in the hard work, who knows where I could have been. I do feel that opportunity was taken away from me. Football was all I wanted to do.” Kaine was hurt during a tackle in October 2010. He was taken to the Manor Hospital where he was told he had suffered a bad sprain and was advised to rest for 48 hours.
A month later he returned to the hospital as his foot had not healed properly yet despite undergoing another X-ray there was no mention of a fracture. But his foot was placed in a cast and in December he was told everything had healed well.
Kaine’s dad Sean was unhappy with the diagnosis and took him to a private hospital, where an MRI scan showed he had fractured his fifth metatarsal.
Sean, 48, later instructed Birmingham-based law firm Irwin Mitchell. Their expert evidence ruled if the fracture been diagnosed earlier Kaine’s injury could have been successfully treated in a cast. The delay led to the teenager needing a bone graft and a pin inserted to help his foot heal, which was then put in a plaster for a further three months.
The hospital trust agreed a partial admission of liability in June 2013, but denied the diagnosis delay made any difference to the treatment given to Kaine.
The Streetly Academy student still plays in charity football matches but he knows he will never return to professional soccer.
“I didn’t realise how serious the injury as I was told I just needed to rest,” he said.
“I felt relieved and thought I’d be back on the pitch soon enough. But my career has now been ruined. I am focusing on my A-Levels and hope to study medicine. I have learned a lot since this happened.”

The first black woman to be crowned Miss Alabama said she finds it difficult to feel sad for the five law enforcement officers who were killed last Thursday in Dallas, and added that she “can’t help but feeling like the shooter was a martyr.”
Kalyn Chapman James, who went on to place in the top 10 in the 1994 Miss America pageant, also said, however, that she didn’t want to “feel this way” about the cop killer and police officers he murdered.
“I don’t want to feel this way” James said in a video she posted Sunday to her Facebook page. “I don’t feel sad for the officers who lost their lives … I know that’s not really my heart. I value human life. And I want to feel sad for them but I can’t help but feeling like the shooter was a martyr.”
Later that evening, when contacted by AL.com, she explained her thoughts further. (Paragraph breaks added for clarity.)
“My heart and my mind were conflicted because these are difficult and very emotional times for so many people. I went to church to address my feelings and deal with them from a perspective of forgiveness and love. Especially forgiving myself for feeling that way.
I regret that any people lost their lives this week and I am saddened by all of the shootings that occurred. But, this is not about me. When reading about the killings of those black men, I was mortified by some of the comments about them. Many People were not conflicted at all about those deaths. Some were okay with this.
These are raw wounds that are fresh and, while I apologize if I offended anyone, I cannot help the way I feel as I continue to process these events and deal with the flood of emotions that come from witnessing such atrocities – both against citizens and officers of the law.
The fact that my opinion was considered newsworthy makes me feel like speaking up was exactly what I should do, because I can voice what so many people are feeling and dealing with and they should know they are not alone.
I reiterate that I do not condone violence or killing at all. I offer my deepest condolences to all the families who lost their loved ones this week, including the officers in Dallas.”
Five police officers lost their lives Thursday and seven more officers and one civilian were wounded at a Dallas demonstration protesting the officer-involved shooting deaths earlier in Louisiana and Minnesota.

So far this year, Lincoln residents have logged 7,231 requests for non-emergency City services through the UPLNK phone app or website. That ranks Lincoln third among communities with more than 150,000 residents that use the SeeClickFix data management platform. The City partnered with SeeClick Fix to create UPLNK, an update of the City's Action Center, which has been in use since 2005. More than 300 U.S. cities now use the SeeClickFix platform.
Of the requests received by Lincoln residents this year, 5,666 or 78 percent have been resolved. That's the fifth highest ranking among SeeClickFix users.
"Lincoln's high engagement ranking shows that UPLNK is an effective way for residents to help City government keep our community the best it can be," said Lin Quenzer, City Ombudsman. "This app has proven to be great method of alerting City staff to issues such as potholes, streetlight problems, downed tree limbs and many other non-emergency, quality of life concerns."
UPLNK is available in the app store and at UPLNK.lincoln.ne.gov. Residents can use UPLNK to send pictures, videos and specific descriptions of problem areas to give the City a more complete understanding of the situation. Locations of reported issues are automatically recorded when the app is engaged. The SeeClickFix platform also provides City staff with a centralized management system to monitor issues from start to finish and to keep residents informed throughout the process.
"UPLNK has provided us great interaction with our residents to get things done in Lincoln," said Lincoln Transportation and Utilities Director Miki Esposito. "UPLNK gives us immediate notification of non-emergency problems, serving as an extension of our eyes and ears in the community. We are extremely pleased with the success and grateful for the community's cooperation in using this interactive management tool."

Russian Top Digital Bank Tinkoff Explores Crypto Investment Services
Tinkoff Investments, the brokerage services platform arm of Russia’s largest online bank, Tinkoff, is researching cryptocurrency investment services despite Russia’s Central Bank withholding the bank from launching such services.
The head of Tinkoff Investments, Dmitry Panchenko, engaged in a recent interview with local news agency TASS and revealed that the brokerage platform is currently working on research and development initiatives focusing on cryptocurrency-related services.
He however did not elaborate in detail, stating that it is too early to talk about specific project ideas. Panchecnko stated that they are still at the research stage and are examining certain cryptocurrency investment services, and therefore have not come up with a specific framework for such products.
Though Panchenko admitted that “brokers cannot offer this service by law” in Russia, he stated that Tinkoff Investments is potentially setting the stage of research and developments in terms of possible approaches. He explained that Tinkoff Investments is particularly considering crypto products like those being offered by firms like international payment giant PayPal and crypto-friendly apps such as Robinhood and Revolut.
Panchenko said that:
“We are looking at what is happening in the world with Robinhood, Revolut, PayPal. We see this evolution, but in Russia, this is not happening yet.”
The bank’s executive stated that although local authorities have still now allowed firms like Tinkoff Investments to offer crypto investments services, he said that the citizens of Russia are still actively trading cryptocurrency on foreign platforms.
Despite the restrictions, Panchenko disclosed that Russian citizens have invested more than $15 billion worth of cryptocurrencies on foreign exchanges.
The executive mentioned that brokerages such as Tinkoff are well placed to benefit from the adoption of cryptocurrency investment services. He stated that Tinkoff has witnessed rising demand specifically for investments in cryptocurrency as opposed to using cryptocurrency to pay for goods and services, which is prohibited in Russia by the nation’s crypto law “On Digital Financial Assets.” There are central bank-imposed restrictions that bar non-qualified investors looking to invest or buy digital assets.
Earlier this year, the country created a legal definition of crypto assets under its Digital Financial Assets (DFA) law.
Despite such legal bans and restrictions, Pancheko said that it is important for brokers to make crypto assets available to investors alongside other investment instruments such as bonds and stocks.
“We see demand for investment purposes – not for the purpose of using it as a means of payment or a means of transporting assets, but as an investment instrument for investments and potential profit,” he stated.
While Russian rules are likely to remain prohibitive in the near future, Pancheko stated that Tinkoff Investments may look at alternative approaches to invest in cryptocurrencies.
Tough Central Bank Policy
In June, as reported by Blockchain.News, Tinkoff bank announced that it wanted to provide crypto trading to its customers but stated that it would take time because of a tough stance from the country’s central bank.
On June 3, Tinkoff CEO, Oliver Hughes, stated that qualified investors who understand what they are doing want to invest in cryptocurrencies in Russia. He mentioned currently there is no mechanism for the bank to provide cryptocurrencies to its clients because the central bank has maintained a tough stance.
In 2020, Russia gave crypto assets legal status but banned them from being used for payments, stating that only the Russian ruble could be regarded as legal tender.
In late May, Elvira Nabiullina, the governor of Russia’s central bank, stated that digital currency was the “future of the country’s financial system,” referring to the Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), not cryptocurrencies.

OIG: Hospital care fatal for some Medicare patients
The study is the first of its kind aimed at understanding "adverse events" in hospitals — essentially, any medical care that causes harm to a patient, according to the Department of Health and Human Services' Office of Inspector General.
Patients in the study, a nationally representative sample that focused on 780 Medicare patients discharged from hospitals in October 2008, suffered such problems as bed sores, infections and excessive bleeding from blood-thinning drugs, the report found. The federal Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality called the results "alarming."

Atlanta rapper Rich the Kid has announced a new album, Bossman, the follow-up to 2019’s The World Is Yours 2. In anticipation of the album’s March 13th release date, he’s also unveiled the single “Red”.
Bossman will feature two previously-released songs, “That’s Tuff” featuring Quavo, and “Money Talk” with YoungBoy Never Broke Again. Unlike those tracks, and unlike most of his star-studded last album, “Red” has no guest MCs. That might be for the best, because few people can match Rich the Kid’s enthusiasm for that particular color. Red pops up everywhere in his life, from the hair of an admirable young lady, to the interior of his car, and the bottoms of his Christin Louboutin shoes. Stream “Red” below.
No tracklist has been set, but Rich the Kid has revealed the album artwork. It features a nicely fitted double-breasted suit, and not one, but two baby goats. Scroll onwards to see for yourself.
In November, Rich the Kid guested on Lil Peep’s posthumous album Everybody’s Everything. Last summer, he gifted a Lollapalooza pass to a one-legged gatecrasher.

For the bank robbery sequences, Tyler Hoechlin (Michael Sullivan, Jr.) had to learn to drive, something he was only too happy to do. Hoechlin mastered it all easily, but, just to be on the safe side, a stunt driver was sitting in the back, with his own set of driving controls.
Notice that Michael Sullivan, Jr. isn't eating his pie and ice cream in the diner, when he and his father are talking about the money. According to Sam Mendes, in earlier takes, Tyler Hoechlin gobbled up his pie, not considering that he would have to perform the scene again and again. By the time they got to the take that's in the film, Hoechlin was stuffed, and couldn't take another bite. Tom Hanks, by contrast, knew to put small amounts of food into his mouth and eat slowly.
Maguire's crime scene photography work is based on Arthur "Weegee" Fellig, a famous crime scene photographer in the 1920s and 1930s, who was licensed to possess a "scanner" radio that allowed him to listen to frequencies used by the police and fire departments. This enabled him to arrive (by car) at crime and fire scenes, sometimes before the authorities did, as if informed by telepathic powers, to which his nickname, a corruption of "Ouija", alludes. He sold his photos to tabloid newspapers. The photos in Maguire's apartment are real 1930s crime scene photos, some of which were taken by "Weegee".
The shot of the reporter drawing a gun and approaching the Geneva Hotel, shows a grocery store behind him. In reality, it is a Starbucks that was covered up and closed for four days. It was used as the craft service area, and the employees were kept on to serve the crew (and Tom Hanks) coffee.
The film is set in 1931, and Costume Designer Albert Wolsky had real trouble finding distinctive clothing from the period. As this was the height of the Depression, fashions lacked the flamboyance of the 1920s, and the style of the later 1930s, when gangsterism was "fashionable". Failing to find any usable real clothes from 1931, Wolsky came across a weaver in upstate New York, who was able to make all of the required clothes, using the same weight of fabrics that were used in that period. Once woven, the costumes then had to be aged and dyed.
Anthony LaPaglia filmed a scene in which he played Al Capone, but it was decided to leave Capone off-screen, and so his scene was deleted. LaPaglia is listed first in the "Special Thanks" section of the credits as a result. LaPaglia played Frank Nitti in Frank Nitti: The Enforcer (1988).
One of the locations for one of the bank robberies was physically perfect, but the wrong way around. There was only room to shoot from right to left and not vice versa. So Dennis Gassner and his team had to dress the location, reversing street signs, license plates, and even switching steering wheels on all of the cars.
One day, when Cinematographer Conrad L. Hall was setting up a shot of Paul Newman, Hall looked through his viewfinder and began to cry. When asked what was wrong, he just said, "He was so beautiful. He was so beautiful."
Prior to the brief travel scene along the "Road to Perdition", with Michael Sullivan, Jr. (Tyler Hoechlin) hanging out a car window as they near their destination, the local road commission oiled the gravel surface of rural road, shoulder-to-shoulder, to prevent dust clouds. But when filming began, the Model A was attached to an equipment trailer pulled by a large utility truck, and a member of the crew was squatting near the rear of the antique car armed with a canister and making fake dust.
Producer Dean Zanuck had never seen a graphic novel before, until he was pitched the idea of "Road to Perdition". Flipping through the pages of the novel, he was immediately hooked. He then sent a copy to his father, Richard D. Zanuck, who was in Morocco at the time. He was also smitten with the project, and instructed his son to dispatch a copy of the novel to Steven Spielberg, who called back two days later, saying that he wanted to do it.
Paul Newman had an assist with his accent from Irish writer Frank McCourt, the author of "Angela's Ashes", who gave him a tape of him speaking. McCourt has lived in the U.S. for many years, but still has some vestiges of his native Irish accent, which is what Newman wanted to emulate.
According to author Max Allan Collins, the "Road to Perdition" graphic novel was an American homage to the manga series "Lone Wolf and Cub" by Kazuo Koike. Collins quoted Koike at the beginning of the book: "You must choose a road for yourself".
Temperatures occasionally dropped to -30 degrees Fahrenheit (-34.4 degrees Celsius) while filming took place. This didn't necessarily mean that they had all the snow they required. The special effects department still had to make many tons of the fake stuff.
The photographs shown in Harlen Maguire's (Jude Law's) apartment also appear in a book by Luc Sante titled "Evidence". According to Sante, the photos are part of a collection held by the Municipal Archives of the City of New York, and were taken by members of the NYPD during the years of 1914 to 1918.
Due to their similar first names, the two Sullivans (father and son) obviously share the same initials; interestingly, they're also played by actors with the same initials: Tom Hanks and Tyler Hoechlin.
In the beginning of the film, when Rooney (Paul Newman) is teaching Michael (Tyler Hoechlin) and Peter (Liam Aiken) dice, and pretends to lose, he says that he can spot a hustler anywhere. Paul Newman played "Fast Eddie" Felson in The Hustler (1961) and The Color of Money (1986).
Paul Newman and Tom Hanks have been in Disney Pixar movies. Hanks was in the Toy Story franchise as Sheriff Woody, and Newman was in Cars (2006) as Doc Hudson, who's character made flashback appearances in Cars 3 (2017).
The trivia items below may give away important plot points.
Up until the killing in the warehouse, Michael Sullivan, Jr. (Tyler Hoechlin) has little access to his father. Consequently, Sam Mendes made sure that the father figure was always filmed from afar, or through doorways and mirrors, to emphasize this distance. Once father and son find themselves on the run, this changes, and close-ups are employed more and more frequently.
At the end of the film, Tyler Hoechlin's character goes to live with the elderly farmer couple that they had met earlier. Tyler Hoechlin would later go on to play the character of Superman, a character whose origin usually consists of him being adopted by the Kents, another elderly farmer couple.


I love taking photos, and I love sharing them with you – so here’s my photo story on what goes down backstage at Fashion Forward.
Even though fashion & beauty go hand in hand, I’m not a big ”fan” of attending fashion shows. I’d rather see what’s going on backstage and how the beauty looks are being brought to life. I do have to acknowledge the fact that we’ve got some amazing local fashion talent in the UAE. In this post you’ll find all the beauty looks from this season’s Fashion Forward DXB!
As a make-up junkie, its hard to choose a favourite product. If there’s something in the make-up market that I love, its palettes! As a make-up artist and for someone that travels a lot, palettes are my holy grail in life! You have everything you need in one palette, its light weighted and its compact. I’ve lined up some of my FAVOURITE neutral palettes at the moment because, a woman can never have too many neutral palettes!
I’ve recently attended a multi branded Sephora event where we got introduced to the latest launches available at Sephora. They fly in the spokesperson of each brand from all over the world and they talk us through the new products and launches. After every Sephora event, they provide everyone with a massive goodie bag filled with all the latest products. I’ve lined up some of the new launches that are available at Sephora across the Middle East including brands like: Anastasia Beverly Hills, Starskin, Nails Inc. and many more!
I’ve visited the the Ritz Carlton hotel in Abu Dhabi many, many times! However, for some reason I never got the chance to visit the ESPA. I tried the Advanced Radiance Facial (of 90 min) which is a recent new treatment introduced in the spa. Obviously, the products that were used during the facial are personalised and selected according to your skin type. Before my facial, I got the chance to meet Susan Harmworth who is the founder and CEO of ESPA. I was shocked to find out that she’s already in her 70’s because of her great energy and amazing (almost wrinkles) skin, she looks in her 50’s. This was the main reason for me to be so excited to try out their facial and skincare products. I mean, she’s the living proof that her products work amazing!
I was recently invited by the tourism of Thailand agency to visit Bangkok for the first time! I’ve been to Thailand before but never to Bangkok so I wanted to make the most out of my trip by visiting as many places as possible within 4 days. I had an absolute amazing time and I’m already planning my next trip to Thailand because once you’ve been to Thailand, you become addicted! There’s so much to do in Bangkok from shopping, sight seeing to eating amazing local Thai food! I can talk for hours and hours about Bangkok and Thailand in general so I’ve lined up some of the must things to do and some of my favourite spots in Bangkok.
It’s that time of the year again where beauty brands are launching their Fall collection. I actually received these Dior products only today and it’s one of the first Fall collections that I’ve received so far. I haven’t gotten into the products yet but I can’t wait to start playing with them!
MAKE UP FOR EVER has recently launched an entire new range of lip glosses, the ”Artist Plexi Glass”. As we’ve noticed in the past year, the brand has really stepped up the quality and variety of their products. I’m really excited about this new collection of glosses, the quality is great and the shades are to-die-for!
It’s always exciting when Tom Ford launches a new collection. The new Soleil Collection features some interesting and gorgeous products including the metallic powder & cream eyeshadow in one. The collection has been available since August 15 at Tom Ford counters across the Middle East.
The long awaited Louboutin lipsticks have finally launched globally and recently in Dubai as well, starting from September 13th. This makes it Christian Louboutin’s 2nd beauty launch after the launch of the nail lacquers last year. Obviously the first shade comes in the iconic ”Rouge Louboutin” which is also the exact same shade as the red Louboutin soles.

1. Cristiano hit 38.6 km/h
Cristiano Ronaldo, the captain of the Portuguese team, displayed an awe-inspiring dash at this World Cup. At one point in the game against the Spanish team, Cristiano achieved the unbelievable speed of 38.6 km/h.
This set a new speed record in the football world, and even came close to the ultimate record set in 2009 by Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt: 44.7 km/h.
2. Neymar spent 14 minutes lying on the grass
The legendary Brazilian football player, Neymar, became a meme due to his frequent and prolonged episodes of public demonstration of agonizing pain at each and every push in his direction.
In total during the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia, Neymar spent 13 minutes and 50 seconds lying on the grass in pain, weather genuine or imaginary, according to the RTS Sport website.
Neymar’s diving became an instant sensation and turned the football superstar into an Internet meme.
3. 12 own goals
The 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia set an unlikely record: 12 goals that football players from various teams scored in their own goals. This rarely happens, but never before in World Cup history have there been so many. The previous record belongs to the 1998 World Cup in France, when fans saw only 6 own goals.
Mario Mandžukić, a Croatian player, set a related record: he placed the ball neatly in his own goal during the final game – an incident that never happened before.
4. 9 winning goals in overtime
Many games lasted longer than players and fans expected. Nine times the winning goals were scored after the 90-minute threshold. Such a unique record helped make this World Cup unpredictable and spectacular.
5. Yellow card, 15 seconds into the match
This is the fastest yellow card in World Cup history: just when the referee’s whistle started the game between Mexico and Sweden, nobody could imagine that it would take only 15 seconds to draw a yellow card.
Mexican player Jesús Gallardo became the only player in World Cup history to earn a yellow card so quickly. Previously, the record was held by Italian football player Gianpiero Marini who got unlucky in 1982 playing against Poland and earned a yellow card after only 51 seconds into the game.
6. The oldest football player ever
Egyptian goalkeeper Essam El-Hadary came forward to protect his team’s goal, and became the oldest player ever in a World Cup match. At the time of the match, El-Hadary was 45 years and 161 days old. The previous record belonged to Columbian player Faryd Mondragón who played at age 43.
7. Record-breaking number of penalty kicks, 28
The 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia was the most generous for penalties. 28 penalty kicks have been awarded in 2018. The steep rise in penalties has been attributed to the introduction of the VAR system that makes it more difficult to fall with impunity.
The previous World Cup record for penalties was 18, set in 1990, and which was then equaled in 1998, and in 2002.

LTCUSD Weak recovery
Litecoin has managed to stage a fairly weak recovery as traders still remain uncertain towards the short-term direction of the major altcoins. Technical analysis highlights that a drop towards the $55.00 to $50.00 area is still possible before a major recovery takes holds. Higher time frame analysis shows that the overall bullish trend remains valid while the LTCUSD pair trades above $46.00.
The LTCUSD pair is only bullish while trading above the $80.00 level, key resistance is found at the $90.00 and the $110.00 levels.
If the LTCUSD pair trades below the $80.00, sellers may test the $55.00 and $50.00 support levels.

Views expressed in opinion columns are the author’s own.
I, like many Americans, have decided to turn a blind eye to the outlandish claims made by former President Donald Trump. Trump could announce something crazy like the discovery of aliens in Colorado, and I probably wouldn’t blink an eye.
By now, I think the majority of us are desensitized to Trump’s remarks and ill-formed plans; we spent his entire presidency following his delusions. Despite this, I still find myself interested in the latest poppycock Trump spews.
Earlier this week, after a well-publicized banquet that included antisemites such as Kanye West, Donald Trump turned to his off-brand Twitter social media app and did what he does best: victimize himself online.
Trump’s latest post did not contain any groundbreaking information. While it spouted the same 2020 election spiel, it did have an interesting twist. Trump declared “a massive fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution.”
It seems Trump thinks the Constitution — the document that ties our democracy together — is what’s holding him back from winning elections. However, removing our Constitution is no way to win the presidency in a healthy democracy. Thus, instead of abandoning our Constitution, we should look toward upgrading it to fit the changing times.
While his claim is completely off base, Trump doesn’t have the wrong idea here. The Constitution is more than 230 years old and the United States is a much different country than the one the founders created. In the years since the Constitution has been ratified, women, people of color and LGBTQ individuals have ceased to be silent demographics and are citizens and participants in government.
One advantage of the Constitution is that it was written vaguely to leave space for interpretation and the changing times. Yet even in today’s progressive world, almost all liberal and progressive reforms have been blocked. The Constitution was written to allow amendments, but it’s notoriously hard to achieve these much needed provisions.
Conservative views of the Constitution by our courts and legislative agencies are hurting any tangible social progress. With the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, an icon for social progressiveness in the legal system, the Supreme Court is leaning dangerously conservative.
Fundamental judicial precedents, such as Roe v. Wade, have already been overturned. Additionally, important redistributive social welfare programs such as the Affordable Care Act have constantly been under fire as federal and state courts fight to repeal it.
Over the years, almost all liberal reforms have been barred by invoking the Constitution. Despite this, the Constitution was not instituted as a way for the minority to control the wealth, economy and social power of the majority. If liberals are to reach the social and judicial reforms that are desperately needed for progress, the Constitution desperately needs to be flexible, particularly through amendments.
Introducing term limits to Supreme Court judges could help restore public faith in the judicial system as well as add new minds more regularly. Instead of waiting entire generations for another justice to die — or worse, strategically retire during a specific administration — it provides more opportunity for a Supreme Court that truly represents the will of Americans.
The Supreme Court is no longer the impartial institution of judicial review it was intended as. The conservative leaning of the current justices as well as their obvious ties to political parties hinder the court’s ability to be an impartial arbitrator of the law.
The ease in which Mitch McConnell manipulated the hearing dates for Supreme Court justices during the Obama and Trump presidencies to ensure conservative appointments indicates how politicized the Supreme Court has become. This practice isn’t representative of democracy and is certainly not what was originally intended for the Supreme Court.
To combat this growing politicization and to ensure the impartiality of the Supreme Court, we need to change the rules regarding judicial appointments to remove such loopholes and create opportunities for better representation.
Moreover, we need to amend our constitutional amendment process. As hypocritical as it sounds, making it easier to make amendments to the Constitution can ensure that the needed progressive changes to our democracy can occur.
For example, a fourth branch of government to check the other three branches of government and ensure fair and legal processes are carried out can be implemented through constitutional amendments. This new branch, separate from the politics of the other branches, would serve as the facilitator for elections and free speech, free from hyperpartisanship and political corruption.
While this may appear drastic, considering the recent hysteria over rigged elections, a fourth separate branch of government to oversee elections and ensure fairness may be exactly what we need.
As younger generations of Americans are starting to participate in government, the American democracy must fit the growing needs and beliefs of its citizens. If our government keeps relying on outdated systems to lead us, then faith in American democracy and government will fade. Without faith in the American government, it will be impossible to unify Americans and quickly respond to national crises.
As much as I hate to admit it, Trump is right. “Unprecedented times call for unprecedented solutions,” and we need to match the growing needs of these progressive times and start supporting much needed liberal reforms. For the security of American democracy, we must amend the American constitution.

Dog Visits Enliven Nursing Home Patients
Every Wednesday, six to nine dogs get their weekly bath so they’re fresh and ready for the best part of the week. On Thursday, they make the trip to Milesian Manor in Magherafelt, where they’ll make the day a little brighter for dozens of nursing home residents.
“Our residents adore the dogs, and many of them benefit enormously from the engagement provided; we see them waiting patiently in reception to welcome the dogs each week when they arrive,” said Caitriona Doole, Specialist Mental Health Nurse and Nurse Manager at Milesian Manor.
The nursing home has fully embraced the idea of pet therapy. One of their former residents’ daughters used to bring in dogs all the time for a visit, and since that resident has passed on, she’s continued to bring the furry visitors on a regular basis, because it’s clear that they’ve made a huge difference in the mood of the patients.
“Engaging with an animal benefits humans of all ages both physically and mentally; it has been proven that pet therapy can lower blood pressure, reduce stress and anxiety and increase mobility and flexibility,” said Doole. “It also encourages mental stimulation as just by being there they encourage the person to interact in a way that perhaps they can’t normally due to medical or even emotional issues.
Four of the dogs are larger breeds, which some residents really love. They include a huge Newfoundland, a Labrador retriever, and two golden retrievers. The rest of the dogs are a smaller Shih-tzu breed, perfect for cuddling on the laps of patients who don’t have the mobility to reach down to pet a larger dog.
Many of the residents have one dog they are particularly attached to. “One resident, Stuart, walks a golden retriever called Finn every week around the wellness garden. He had kept dogs all through his life and they are an important part of his week,” said Doole. “Another resident, Isabella just loves to get one of the little dogs up on her knee; she’ll happily sit for hours stroking the dogs.”
And according to Doole, there’s some evidence the dogs help with dementia patients’ memories as well. “I’ve seen people living with dementia remembering the dog’s names from week to week that alone speaks volumes to me.”
On top of regular canine visits, the nursing home also offers residents a home-from-home social space, a cinema, a wellness garden, a café and a spa. These accommodations encourage the seniors to continue to live happy and active lives despite the limitations old age places on them.
“Our aim at Milesian Manor is provide care that puts our residents and their families first,” said Doole. “We strive to offer an exceptional programme of events each and every day that brings the residents a chance to engage in a variety of activities and utilise the wonderful spaces that we have.”
This nursing home is certainly doing a good job of providing companionship and mental and physical stimulation by bringing in friendly dogs to play and cuddle with. Check out the video below to see just how much enjoyment the residents get out of their regular weekly dog day:

Basketball is a popular sport where two competing teams, usually of five each, clash against each other on a flat rectangular court, for the purpose of throwing the ball through the opponent’s hoop with a certain amount of time remaining in the game. The game was invented in the United States and Europe during the early nineteenth century by an American sportsman called Sam Hinkley. It was played with an ordinary wooden hoop, but later were made with metal and other materials. Over the years, basketball has developed into a very exciting sport that many people take part in. In fact, it is now widely played around the world, particularly in the United States and Europe.
For the sake of the mechanics of the game, the basketball has three distinct positions: the guard, wing, and small forward. Each position has its own unique set of skills and responsibilities. Guards play the role of the perimeter protector, a player who looks to stop the ball from going to either of the two free throw hangers or the paint. Winger plays the position in front of the basket, a pure shooter trying to hit the basket and get the ball into the hoop, while also attempting to make the defense pay for him by draining shots. Small forwards are able to do all of those things, as well as create scoring chances within the painted area.
One aspect of basketball that many people don’t fully appreciate is the role that the head and arm shape play in the successful completion of a pass. You don’t hear too much about this part of basketball, but it is actually very important. You see, the guard needs to be able to avoid being burned by the other team’s big man, while the wing needs to have enough space to complete his lay-up attempt without getting burned by his defender. If the ball goes through the hoop, the guard has to have a strong follow-through into the lane, while the wing needs to be able to take control of the ball and hit a tough three-point shot. This is why you’ll often see a big man defending a smaller ball handler; he can still hit a fadeaway jumper because he has a better form than his smaller opponents.
One thing that many coaches and parents don’t realize about youth basketball is that the refs are often the cause of foul trouble. There are two types of fouls in basketball, non-free-throw and fouls. Those are not the only types, though. When a player takes a free throw, there is also a chance they will take a penalty for shooting too many times (known as a personal foul), and when they shoot an object, called a turnover. These aren’t the only means by which teams cause each other to lose points, but they are two of the most common.
As you can probably imagine, the first half is typically the most active on both ends of the floor. That’s when offense is at its most rampant, and when teams can’t afford to foul because they might be taking too many shots. The first halves usually end up with one team controlling the ball the whole time, while the other is forced to play defense all the way to the end of the court. If neither team is able to sustain a lead for the entire first half, this is usually good indication that the breakout hasn’t happened yet.
If you’re in the middle of the standings and the ball is deadlocked at halftime, it’s pretty unlikely that either team has sustained a lead over the other through the half. Either the other team has run out of time to get a lead on the ball, or they have just made a series of buckets — even a bucket over a series of defenders’ heads — that have stretched the lead out of control. In these situations, the score is usually tied, and the game has been decided.


Tsipras: We want foreign investors, not pirates
SYRIZA president Alexis Tsipras launched an attack in parliament against the government's policy that destroys and drives off development investments.
The leader of the opposition pointed out that the rural struggle is the struggle for development and that the problems of the rural world today are a matter of life and death for the Greek countryside.
During the parliamentary debate on rural issues, Tsipras said the collapse of the agricultural sector is not a matter of the memorandum, but it’s been part of the Greek reality and was not an accident, but a deliberate political choice.
As he said, the powerful economic centers felt that the rural sector is unnecessary and that growth will come through loans and not the primary sector. He criticized the previous governments of PASOK and ND for accepting, as he said, all the disastrous orders imposed on the country through the Common Agricultural Policy.
Referring to development, he addressed the government and the prime minister, calling on them to answer the question whether in this country we want to have only primary production or just services and real estate.
Continuing, he attacked the government. "They talk about developing, those who have removed any prospect of development in this place, those whose measures caused recession, unemployment, and all they are developing is a policy against development."
He described the prime minister as the "natural and moral instigator of the policy that leads to non-development and the struggle of the people."
Referring to the positions of SYRIZA, he asked that we as a country count on our own powers and emphasized that the restructuring of the agricultural sector is of strategic importance.
Responding to the criticism he has been receiving, he said the country needs investments but "we need actual investors, not pirates."
More specifically, he charged that licenses for renewable energy "went to their people."
"We are talking about productive development, not about plundering against the public interest. We propose to restore the minimum wage and minimum pension to their previous levels. We propose to respond to the demands of farmers," he said and accused the government and Samaras of the fact that in the name of growth, what they actually developed "is unemployment, poverty, repression and the strangulation of the welfare state."
