Here is our interview with the The Seahorse Trainer Directors Ricardo Bonisoli and Babak Bina:
Nigrin: Your wonderfully surreal film The Seahorse Trainer is about a lonely man with a passion for training seahorses. Please tell us how and why you decided to make this film?
Bonisoli and Bina: Originally the idea was to make a fun and very short mockumentary about an old man who has the bizarre hobby of training seahorses to do circus tricks, a short video tutorial of sorts. Things kept evolving and later we decided to develop a narrative story of the idea and make it into a surreal film since we both find such films very inspiring. David Lynch, Jean Pierre Jeunet and Jan Svankmajer are all huge influences on us.
Birk/Man: What inspired you to choose seahorses as a central theme in your film?
Bonisoli and Bina: Ricardo’s fascination for sea creatures and specifically seahorses was the spark of it all. We both agreed those magical creatures due to their rarity and exotic nature are ideal for telling a fantasy oriented story.
Birk: How were you able to make the seahorses look so real and life-like?
Bonisoli and Bina: We work full time as visual effects artists for blockbuster films. Doing 3D characters and creatures is a big part of our daily tasks. Years of working in the industry has taught us the patience to spend countless hours of refining VFX . Another thing that really helped was having a good network of great visual effects artists and friends willing to collaborate with us.
Nigrin: How long did it take to make this film? Where did you get the funding to make it?
Bonisoli and Bina: It took about 2.5 years to make the film, we were and are employed full time as VFX artists and would work on our short film mostly during nights and weekends. The film was partially funded by the National Film Board of Canada and Indiegogo crowd funding.
Birk/Man: We loved the music score. How did the music come about? What influenced the tone of it?
Bonisoli and Bina: After we had our rough cut, we contacted the band “the Parlour Trick” and sent them the cut to ask for permission of using one of their songs which had a pivotal role in the mood of the film. We found their music on a puppet short called “The Mill at Calder’s End”. We were lucky that one of the band members (Dan Cantrell) who is also an Emmy Award winner expressed interest in composing the whole score, tailored to our short film after seeing the rough cut. Using our temp track as a guide he elevated the imagery with his composition and blessed the film with his music.
Nigrin: Are there any memorable stories while you made this film or any other info about your film you would like to relay to our readers?
Bonisoli and Bina: Many fun and interesting moments come to mind. But we agree our first day of shooting itself was a very memorable story (Definitely not fun at the time!) We were handed a wrong liquid to put in the fog machine by the equipment rentals place, and that gave everyone coughs and headaches for half the day, we didn't know the cause until later, after that our lunch was late for almost 3 hours and two go pro cameras broke! Next days went smooth though.
The Seahorse Trainer will be screening with two other great films, Fuck and Strive. Here is more info on this screening:
Fuck– Vern Hass (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) One word says it all, in this hilarious short film about a female college student’s sexual trials, tribulations, and revelations during her first semester of college. 2019; 3 min.
The Seahorse Trainer – Ricardo Bonisoli and Babak Bina (Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada) Enter the surreal and nautical world of Seamour, a lonely man with a passion for training seahorses. Desperate to have his most prized seahorse perform the highly ambitious “Triple Back Flip,” he takes it through a final day of training. But when the fateful hour arrives, Seamour realizes that he must overcome his own troubled past if the trick will ever be achieved. 2019; 14 min.
Strive – Robert Rippberger (Los Angeles, California) In this touching feature film, Kalani is a teenager living in Harlem, New York with her older brother Jacob and her younger sister Bebe while her mother struggles to make ends meet. Her college counselor Mr. Rose (played by Danny Glover) sees great promise in her future. As Kalani's siblings get caught in a web of problems, Kalani teeters on the brink of ruin as she struggles to keep both her family and her dream of getting into college intact.

Wedding bliss comes to the 2010 Toronto Theatre Fringe
With only one month to go before I marry, I had a lot to relate to in my first Fringe show of the year. All or None (Handlar Productions), written and directed by Andrew Hanna and Kristoffer Pedlar, takes a look at the internal chaos festering inside the mind of a bride-to-be.
Quite often there comes a time in a couple’s relationship in which one or the other or both, want to move the relationship to the next level. Yet, what should be a time of excitement and joy, can sometimes ( I think in any intelligent bride who is actually ‘thinking’) turn to self-doubt, panic, frustration and uncertainty.
In All or None, Sam (played by Kristoffer Pedlar) and Mickie, (played by Stephanie Ros) have reached that inevitable moment in their relationship-to wed or not to wed. Although Mickie’s proposal was not quite as romantic as she had imagined, she accepts Sam’s offer and the two begin to experience their own emotions, blissful or not.
Sam’s role was played with energy and excitement. Obviously oblivious to his fiance’s feelings, Sam takes initiative in the wedding preparations and doesn’t hesitate to make plans for the future, children and all!
Mickie, on the other hand, begins to question whether they are truly compatible and feels the pressures of committing herself to this one man for the rest of her life. As the character of April says, “You can have thousands of destinies, but you only choose one”.
The character of April and Grace, the “E-Harmony dater”, performed by Christina Aceto, was dynamic. From vulnerable and desperate to strong willed and confident, Christina Aceto showed versatility and grace as she moved from the first role to the next. Her moments on stage were delightful and natural.
I appreciated the overall writing of the piece. It was current and relatable. If you’re looking for something light and laughable, it only takes 75 minutes out of your day. Sometimes all we need is right in front of us, and sometimes it takes just a little more searching.
– All or None produced by Handlar Productions is playing at The Walmer Centre theatre located at 188 Lowther Avenue.

Jersey City will ask the City Council to OK a measure next week naming the city's new west district police station after slain Police Det. Melvin Santiago.
Santiago, a 23-year-old rookie on the city's police force, was gunned down in the early morning hours of July 13 in what police have called an ambush outside the Walgreens at Communipaw Avenue and Kennedy Boulevard.
Situated at the corner of Clinton Avenue and Seidler Street, just around the block from the current west district precinct, the new $10.4 million station is expected to open in the fall.
Santiago, who worked out of the city's west district, "made the ultimate sacrifice and gave his life in protection of the people of Jersey City and it is truly an honor to be able to commemorate his life with this dedication," Mayor Steve Fulop said in a press release.
Councilman at large Daniel Rivera said he thinks it's fitting to name the new police station after a man who family members say spent his whole life yearning to be a cop.
"This could be a good honor," Rivera said.
The City Council meets for its next regular meeting on Wednesday at City Hall, 280 Grove St.

The staff absence rate in the NHS in April 2020 was the highest since records began – 2.1 percentage points higher than the same month last year, and exceeding even winter peaks of sickness absence over the last 11 years.
This is hardly surprising. Many clinicians were exposed to patients with Covid-19 in this period, and those experiencing symptoms of coronavirus were required to self-isolate. There were also significant concerns about staff wellbeing given significant shortages in personal protective equipment (PPE).
Regionally, the pattern largely follows the national picture. Staff in London, who historically have had the lowest rate of sickness absence, saw a 3.9 percentage point increase since the same time last year, and had the highest absence rates in the country. All other regions also experienced large increases in staff absence. The exception was the South West, which also had the lowest number of Covid-19 cases.
The reasons for sickness that were recorded support this – with over 40% of absences in April attributed to either ‘cold, cough or flu’, ‘chest and respiratory problems’ and ‘infectious diseases’. The psychological wellbeing of staff also contributed to high levels of absence: this was the reason for over a fifth of sickness days taken.
The NHS Long Term Plan included an ambition to reduce sickness absence in the NHS to that of the public sector average (2.9% in 2016). As more data emerges on the wellbeing of staff, we must not underestimate the longer-term impacts of Covid-19 on the physical and mental health of the NHS workforce. The NHS People Plan published last month is centred around making the NHS a great place to work, but achieving this will be even more challenging given the pressure on staff and the impact of Covid-19 on health and wellbeing.

NAAS will become the sunflower capital of Ireland if a group of local secondary school students have any say in the matter.
The students will launch their Sunflower Project this Friday 20 March.
They plan to plant up to 6,000 sunflowers in 3,000 compostable pots this year. 1,200 of these potswill be planted out by student while 1,800 will be which will be grown by the students and the remaining 1800 pots will be given complete with seeds and compost to the general public in late March at locations around the town – free.
The project is being funded by Kildare Co Council and Naas CBS with sponsorship from Woodies DIT with help from Naas Tidy towns, Naas Men’s Shed and ronan Walsh Landscapes.
It is hoped that by late August the town will be awash with sunflowers.
The students hope that Naas residents and businessess and other schools in the town will support the project and plant sunflowers this spring/summer.
“We want all community groups in NAAS to help. We want all community groups in Naas to go sunflower crazy in 2020,” said a project spokesperson..
There will be a range of prizes for the best sunflowers in housing estates , schools, commercial premises and businesses.
For many years NAAS CBS has had a superb relationship with Naas Tidy Towns. Every year the school and especially TY students undertake many tasks for th TT. In 2016 the school gave 1000 hours of help and assistance to TT projects.
Teacher Tom Noone and local councilor and Tidy Towns stalwart Cllr Bill Clear discussed a way that both the school and wider community could become involved in a project together.
Tom Noone came up with the idea of the Sunflower Project, although hedoes admit he stole the idea from his daughter Molly.
After her communion Molly asked that everyone who came to her communion party to be given a pot with compost and a sunflower seed. These were then given to her friends, cousins, aunts, uncles and grandparents. Over the next few months everyone had great fun showing off how their sunflowers were doing via photos on a WhatsApp GROUP. It was great fun.
“We now want to bring this idea to all of Naas and make Naas the Sunflower capital of Ireland.

All time favorite ladoo is almost all Indian households - this besan ladoo is vegan gluten free and decadently delicious 😋. Super excited to convert this traditional recipe to house favorite 😍
This dal is one of those lentil recipes that I make many times as we simply love it in our house especially my daughter. Give her a bowl of this piping hot dal with some steamed rice and she is in food heaven.
Stuffed Masala Peppers or bharwa mirchi is a favorite accompaniment at my place. I grew up this stuffed chili recipe is called as Bharwa mirchi .This recipe varies as you travel in different parts of India but here Yellow wax pepper and banana chili peppers work best .
Moong Daal Kachori is my favorite snack . Its also the most popular street food of North India ,specially popular in Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh. Kachoris are Indian style Fried flaky puff pastries which are stuffed with different type of savory or sweet stuffings.
This is perfect for a middle of the week dinner when I am bored of eating the many vegetables .This curry is cooked in a spicy onion tomato gravy and I am sure you will make this often for your family !!
I can eat spinach any which way- raw in salads or cooked in creamy curries.You can make it make for weeknights and Serve the dish with a side of basmati rice. Also, this dish makes great leftovers. The spinach sauce tastes even better the next day!
Naan is the most popular Indian flatbread in United States. My family could never eat it in the restaurant as they put egg in theirs and there is no version of gluten free naan available in the market so I decided to convert the traditional recipe for quick wheat naan to a gluten free one. My kids were absolutely floored with the results and now I make it once a week .

IIJ America announced the launch of IIJA Password Management Service in the U.S. today.
The sheer volume of passwords leaking into the dark web is staggering, creating an ecosystem where hackers can exploit them at any given moment. The main causes of data breaches are stolen passwords and weak password settings. Therefore, password strength is a crucial line of defence for organizations to prevent them. On the flip side, as cloud usage advances, the number of credentials used is also increasing. Organizations are implementing single sign-on (SSO), but some systems face integration challenges. Making it necessary to input credentials one by one. Improving productivity and keeping passwords strong and secure are major challenges for organizations.
The IIJA Password Management Service offers Keeper Security Inc.'s password management tool, Keeper Password Manager, as a managed service. There are three main reasons why password management is essential:
Passwords are critical elements for preventing unauthorized access to user accounts and systems. However, when reusing the same passwords or when the passwords are short and simple, passwords become susceptible to hacking. Implementing a password management tool will enhance security by automatically generating strong and complex passwords and securely managing these credentials.
Inputting passwords manually each time poses the risk of the credentials being forgotten or the users inputting it incorrectly, costing your team precious time. Writing down passwords on paper is also not a good solution because that poses the risk of it being stolen or lost. By implementing a password management tool, you can automate the creation and management process, while simultaneously ensuring better security.
Recent regulations in the corporate sector, such as data protection laws and ISMS, demand compliance with security regulations. These regulations specify certain requirements and standards for password management. By adopting a password management tool, you can confirm whether your organization is staying compliant with these regulations.
In summary, implementation of a password management tool is a necessity in many organizations. Implementation will allow them to enhance security, improve convenience, and adhere to compliance standards.
- Password Management Services securely manages important corporate passwords and credentials, and thereby preventing information leaks. IIJA Password Management Service will improve your security by storing credentials in the secure Keeper Vault with strong encryptions. While also helping to improve productivity with its autofill functionality.
- Random and unique passwords can be generated and stored in the Keeper Vault using a highly secure 256-bit AES encryption, making password cracking nearly impossible.
- IIJA engineers will assist with the initial setup, including tenant creation, account provisioning, and SSO setup. An initial follow-up meeting will be held immediately after implementation to address any concerns you may have.
- IIJA engineers will analyse and inform about the monthly usage of password management tools in your environment and create reports based on this information. Online meetings are also available upon request where IIJA engineers will explain the contents of the report. *Please sign up for Business Plus or Enterprise Plus.

Lions defensive end Ezekiel Ansah has been uncharacteristically silent in the pass rush this season.
(Mike Mulholland | MLive.com)
ALLEN PARK -- With half the NFL season in the books, Kerry Hyder has more sacks than Ezekiel Ansah.
So do fellow Detroit Lions ends like Devin Taylor and Armonty Bryant. And defensive tackles like Haloti Ngata, A'Shawn Robinson and Khyri Thornton.
Even defensive backs like Darius Slay and Rafael Bush have more sacks than Ansah.
That, of course, is because Ansah doesn't have any.
He did miss three games because of a high ankle sprain, but even in the three games since his return he has been blanked. The Lions are anxiously awaiting the return to form of their star defensive end.
They believe that moment is near.
"I think after he injured his ankle, he's a little bit, in terms of getting your legs back, it always happens," defensive coordinator Teryl Austin said. "But I think what you see with Ziggy, he's getting pressure on people. He's still hard to block. It's just the number hasn't come to him yet and I think it will. It's just a matter of time."
There would be no time like the present. Bryant, one of the few sure things in the pass rush in recent weeks, has been suspended three games without pay for a violation of the league's substance-abuse policy. (The infraction stems from a 2015 incident that predates his arrival in Detroit.)
Bryant has three sacks on the season, which trails only Hyder (five) and Taylor (3.5) even though he's been with the club only four weeks. So his loss will be felt.
"Any time you lose a player that's got some production, you know, you're always trying to figure out how to replace it and I think we have some guys that can," Austin said. "I know you brought up Ziggy, and I kind of liken it to (Darius) Slay last year. There was a couple times he was missing the 50-50 balls, but eventually he's going to make those plays because he's a good enough player. And I think that's what will happen with Ziggy.
"He'll get his sacks. It's going to come. Hope it's this week, but I'm not going to press it and I'm sure he's not pressing. He's just going to keep playing as hard as he does and then the good things will happen to him."
If there is good news here, it is this: Minnesota has been awful in recent weeks protecting Sam Bradford, allowing 11 sacks and 22 QB hits in just the last two weeks -- both losses.
Could this be the week Ansah at last gets on the board?

This year we have seen that some mobile manufacturers are starting to move away from the status quo in terms of form and design factors. One of the pioneers in the recent trend is the Chinese manufacturer Vivo con el Vivo NEX, and it seems they have listed iterations in accordance with the assumptions Live NEX 2 with three and two screen cameras.
If it is confirmed that it is the second Vivo NEX, we can see steps similar to the steps taken by Xiaomi with the Mi MIX line, becoming a line characterized by proposing different designs and maintaining advanced features. The Vivo Nex shows us an approach to unlimited screens by hiding the front camera in a removable module, and the alleged iteration proposes let's forget about subjective cameras so we only use the back.
Three cameras, two screens, one ring
What if the way to reach 100% of the use of the front by the screen is to add one second? This is what we see on this smartphone with a main screen that covers the entire front and rear surfaces below three rear cameras (and only).
What's on filtering video is presented as an unknown brand smartphone that fits the filtering that we saw a few days ago possibility of Vivo NEX 2, something they also considered in The Verge (for those who have found the video).
Vivo design will not imply any hinges, but only a secondary screen that replaces the standard back cover.
In this way, it will be a proposal reminiscent of several ways ZTE Axon M, which combines two screens and one camera so that it returns or the front camera depends on how we reach the cellphone and places it in reference to us. . In this case it might be more practical since the Vivo design it doesn't imply any hinges, but it's just a screen that replaces what will be a standard back cover.
Besides this there is Striking RGB LED rings at the top of the back, in the area where the three cameras are located. Apparently this is an LED notification as we see (much wiser) in many Android terminals.
Regarding camera specifications haven't revealed any details at the moment, but what they have in The Verge (which claims to have tested the Vivo prototype) can include rumors ToF scanner (flight time) where we talk to you when reviewing the progress made in terms of facial recognition and scanning in three dimensions. The three cameras already have the Huawei P20 Pro, the Huawei Mate 20 Pro, the Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) and a few others, and what we see is a combination of wide angle, zoom and portrait mode, so you can imagine there will be a shot.
Competition for unlimited screens is even more animated (and since this year)
The Vivo NEX by way of the first glimpse of the promise of a frameless screen that manufacturers seem to want to obey. After him and his small, retractable module arrived, OPPO Find X, proposed a similar system but for all photographic systems and face identification.
The latest is the Xiaomi Mi MIX 3 which proposes a sliding screen so the camera can come out easily (unlike the automatic OPPO module). And what seems to be coming (and soon) is a new phase of design based on holes in the screen, so without notchFrameless and without removable modules, the subjective camera still has a place on the front.
It seems that is not what we will see on the next Vivo NEX, which according to the last filter we quoted (from Weibo) will integrate an AMOLED panel of 6.59 inches (maybe with a fingerprint reader on the screen we've seen with Live X20 Plus UD) and AMOLED 16: 9 secondary display on the back, under the camera and strange LED ring. A design that reminds us of the Nubia X and which makes it possible to make video calls, self portraits, social application stories, and so on with a secondary screen.
Another feature intended for Vivo NEX 2 is the integration of Snapdragon 845 processors and 22.5 watt fast charging. Even this first screening is aimed at prices, between 4,000 and 6,000 yuan (around 500-600 euros change), even though we have to wait until all this is confirmed. Maybe not too much, because it is rumored that we will find out about Vivo NEX 2 in December, maybe also when we know the new Huawei with a hole.

HP rocked the stripey ties off the high-powered workstation world today when they unveiled the Z1 Workstation, the first all-in-one form factor computer that incorporates workstation-class hardware. This impressive machine targets corporate customers from small graphics shops to medical imaging customers to high-end Hollywood 3D rendering. SlashGear was on-hand to check out the hardware, and we came away with some impressive first looks.
While significantly larger and heavier than a standard all-in-one machine, the fact that HP’s managed to cram full-sized processors, storage, RAM and Quadro (mobile) graphics into the Z1 is astounding. Even more so is the engineering that’s gone into the folding, flipping design, which allows end-users access to the components by folding the unit flat and opening the screen module. The hinge and piston mechanism allows for quick and safe opening of the 27-inch screen.
Once open, you’re greeted with a sight that’s familiar to anyone who’s used a full-sized Z-family workstation. Heat is separated into four zones, with the 400w power supply, Quadro graphics card, CPU and memory isolated behind fans and panels. All are easily removable, as are the power supply, hard drive chassis and DVD/Blu-ray drive. Note the use of standard desktop parts for the storage and RAM: two 3.5-inch or 2.5-inch storage drives and up to four 8GB full-sized memory DIMMs can be added.
Other touches include three mini-PCI slots (one occupied by a WiFi/Bluetooth module) an internal mount for USB-based license keys, a 1080p webcam and a set of four front-facing SRS speakers. The graphics card uses a MXM standard, which will require custom cards from Nvidia – the base model uses Intel integrated graphics, but Quadro 500M, 1000M, 3000M and 4000M graphics cards are optional. Standard PCI-E cards will not work.
Close the lid and turn to the side, and you’ll see standard audio in and out, two USB 3.0 ports and a 4-card multifunction reader, plus Firewire and the external view of the disc drive. The 27-inch screen gets a resolution of 2560×1440. Back connections include four standard USB 2.0 ports, Ethernet, audio in and out plus SPDIF. There’s only one video-out with a Display Port, but HP has created a unique port that handles both input and output. If necessary, the HP Z1 can be used as a display only, with a hotkey that switched between modes.
The stand itself took considerable engineering, as it has to support the 40+ pound weight of the unit itself, fold down flat and release with a single button. In its upright mode it can be tilted backwards and forwards by about 25 degrees, and lifts up and down by 100mm. When folded flat a back handle allows for easy carrying, and removing the stand completely reveals a standard VESA mount.
The hardware itself is very impressive, with minimalist styling intended to draw the eye of fashion-conscious designers. You’ll be able to buy the Z1 yourself in April, with a fully configurable spec sheet (though the custom Nvidia Quadro cards won’t be available separately at first). The base model of the HP Z1 Workstation will start at $1899.

Letter from John D. Jackson to L. S. Joynes recommending John W. Templeton as a medical student.
In Camp with Johnsons Br[i]g[ade] near Chaffin's Bluff Sept[ember] 5th 1864 Dr. Joynes D[ear] Sir In this mornings "Examiner" I noticed an advertisement of the "Annual Course of Lectures of the Medcial College of Va." I will be obliged to you if you will send me a copy of the Catalogue There has been with me for the past two years, a young man Mr. John W. Templeton an hospital Steward appointed by the Sec[retary] of War Who if it be at all possible I should like very much to have the benefit of a course of Lectures this session. He has attended one course of Lectures at Nashville Tenn[essee], and been connected with the Medical Dep[ar]t[ment] of the Army since the battle of "Shiloh," is of the good mind, sufficently good priliminary education of good morals, and very deligent, and thoroughly trustworthy in the discharge of his duties. When the war is over he will be compelled to rely entirely upon his own individual execrtions for a live- lihood, and if it be possible I should like to procure him an opportunity of attending the ensuing course of Lectures at your Institution with a view to gradu - ation and dutiance into the Army next Spring, as Ass[istan]t Surgeon I shall dislike very much to loose the services of as intelligent and trustworthy a person as he is, as my "hospital stewards," feeling confident that I will not easily have his place refilled, but my regard for his future welfare induces me to lay aside any consideration of temporary inconvenience on my part, and to request you to inform me whether it would be possible to get him transfered to "Hospital Duty" in the city with an opportunity of attending the College or if you know of any way in which the end in view may be accomplished. Any trouble on your part I am sure would be greatfully appreciated by a young man,(at pres - ent ignorant of any effort in his behalf) who may prove an ornament to our profession, and I am sure will never disgrace it, and also by. Yours most sincerely John D. Jackson Sen[io]r Surg[eon] Johnson's Br[i]g[a]d[e] Dep[artmen]t of Richmond [Addressed:] To L.S. Joynes M.D. Dean of Faculty of "V[irgini]a Med[ical] College" Dr, John D. Jackson Senior [crossout Chief] Surgeon Johnson's Brig[ade] Sept. 5, 1864 Relating to transfer of a Hospital Steward to Richmond

Football finance experts predict that all 20 Premier League clubs will soon feature in the top 30 richest in the world, as the English top flight dwarfs the revenues of Europe’s major leagues.
Deloitte on Thursday released its latest Football Money League in which 11 of the top 20 wealthiest clubs are English for the first time.
The teams are ranked on total revenues for the 2021-22 season and Manchester City top the table for a second successive year, earning an astonishing £641.1m, according to the club’s accounts.
But for the first time since Deloitte began ranking the planet’s wealthiest clubs, more than half of the top 20 are made up from one country. Liverpool (3rd) and Manchester United (4th) are in the top five, alongside Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain.
Newcastle United, now backed by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund sneak into 20th. Chelsea, Tottenham and Arsenal all make the top 10. While West Ham, Leicester, Leeds and Everton all make the top 20. It means two of the Premier League’s bottom three clubs, currently fighting relegation, are some of the world’s richest clubs.
“The Premier League’s financial superiority is unlikely to be challenged in the coming seasons,” said Sam Boor, a director at Deloitte’s Sports Business Group. “This is particularly apparent at a time when these clubs continue to attract international investment which often, in the best examples, encourages a focus on profitability, as well as on-pitch success. It’s now likely a case of not if, but when, all 20 Premier League clubs will appear in the Money League top 30.”
Former Juventus chairman Andrea Agnelli warned on Wednesday, when he stepped down from the Italian club following an investigation into its accounting, that if European football is not reformed the Premier League will soon dominate.
“I believed and still believe that European soccer needs structural reforms to tackle the future,” Agnelli said during his final press conference. “Otherwise we are heading for inexorable decline for soccer in favor of a dominant league, the Premier League, which over a few years will attract all the European talent and marginalize the others.”
Agnelli was one of the key figures in the Super League breakaways that was eventually derailed. Agnelli claims that a Super League, from which none of the top 15 clubs in Europe would have been relegated for at least 23 years, would have solved the financial problems in European football. The Premier League “Big Six” had all signed up to the breakaway competition before it collapsed.
Javier Tebas, head of Spain’s La Liga and a fierce critic of the Super League, has also stressed that spending in the Premier League is unsustainable.
“What I’m worried about is the Premier League, and I’ve been worried for many years now,” he said. “But now it’s converted into a competition that has losses all year. All clubs lose money. There is no sustainability in the Premier League. The Premier League is not a financially sustainable model.”
He added: “They’re financed by the owners but with enormous amounts of money and that is distorting the market. They get more revenue, OK. But you lose money. And you’re injecting one and a half billion every year. What does it mean? It means you’re not sustainable at all.”
Tim Bridge, lead partner in Deloitte’s Sports Business Group, said: “For the first time, Premier League clubs fill the lion’s share of positions in Deloitte’s Football Money League. The question now is whether other leagues can close the gap, likely by driving the value of future international media rights, or if the Premier League will be virtually untouchable, in revenue terms.

- 2. real Madrid

- 20. Newcastle
“The Premier League was the only one of the Big Five European leagues to experience an increase in its media rights value during its most recent rights sale process. It continues to appeal to millions of global followers and its member clubs have a greater revenue advantage over international rivals.
“Commercial partner, fan and investor interest in the Premier League appears higher than ever before. While this suggests optimism for further growth, continued calls for greater distribution of the financial wealth of English clubs across the football system and the impact of a cost-of-living crisis makes it all the more important for the game’s stakeholders to keep a clear focus on their responsibility as stewards of leading clubs.”


Due to the Longfellow Bridge Project, shuttle buses will make all station stops between Park Street and Kendall/MIT Stations on the following weekends:
Saturday and Sunday, August 10-11, August 24-25, October 19-20, Oct. 26-27, and Nov. 2-3.
The bus route is shown on the map above, with affected stops: Kendall/MIT Station, Charles/MGH Station, and Park St. Station. Normal service will resume for the start of service on Mondays.
The project includes replacing the MBTA Red Line tracks. The work will change Red Line service for a total of 25 weekends during the three and half year project. To allow space for bus travel in each direction, Boston-bound traffic will be detoured during the Red Line diversions using Memorial Drive and Land Boulevard to reach Leverett Circle.
During weekend busing operations, bicyclists will be asked to walk their bicycles across the bridge on the sidewalk for safety reasons.

>>156846408>no, Fox opted not to air Serenity as the first.
That's what I said, retard. Except I explained why.>Whether it's the reason you said it is I'm not sure.
Joss says it in the director's commentary for the episode. He specifically shot scenes with actors at the edges of the widescreen area, not for meaning, but to push for it airing in widescreen.>Notice how the entire opening scene is setting up the world the show takes place in
You must be dumb, because that's normal for tv shows at the time. The first 6 episodes would all have those elements in them, to help new viewers watch. They do that less now that serialized tv has dominated, but you still see it in the big shows that the networks make, because they are still more episodic.>There's also exposition that's pointless if you're watching it as episode 2
It's a show from 2001, not 2021. It's pacing is going to be different, see my previous point.

ALMEIDA, A.C.S. de et al. Mineral composition of arboreal and bush species occurring in pastures, in Pernambuco-Brazil. Arch. zootec. [online]. 2011, vol.60, n.231, pp.553-561. ISSN 0004-0592. http://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S0004-05922011000300044.
The aim of the present study was to evaluate, during the dry and wet seasons the mineral composition of tree and bush species occurring in pasture areas near the cities of Itambé, Caruaru and Serra Talhada in the humid, intermediate, and dry climatic zones of the state of Pernambuco (Brazil). Leaves and branches up to 5.0 mm in diameter were collected for the determination of N, P, Mg and K concentrations. Five, 8, and 14 tree and bush species occurred in the pastures of Itambé, Caruaru and Serra Talhada respectively. In Itambé, N content was influenced by species, while P and K contents were affected by species and season. In Caruaru, N, P and K contents were not influenced by season and in Serra Talhada, only P and K contents were influenced by species and season. Chemical composition was generally more adequate in the rainy season.

Nightmare neighbours ordered by court to pay £3,000 after loud barking dogs drove residents to despair
A couple whose barking dogs made life “a nightmare” for neighbours have been forced to pay out almost £3,000.
William and Carol Siddle were taken to court by Sunderland City Council after their barking dogs prompted hundreds of complaints from neighbours.
The couple, of Forster Street, Roker, were ordered to pay nearly £3,000 after pleading guilty to breaching a community protection notice which had been served on them.
The prosecution at Sunderland Magistrates’ Court followed a number of complaints over a period of time, which it was said “had a huge impact on neighbours”.
Council officers resorted to court action after a number of previous attempts to address the issues with Mr and Mrs Siddle had failed to resolve the problem.
The prosecution followed a period of monitoring during which more than 2,500 loud barks were logged, Sunderland City Council has said.
Following a formal warning, the couple were served with a Community Protection Notice, but failed to comply with the requirements. One resident told council officers they “could not take any more and it was a nightmare”.
The pair were each fined £120 and ordered to pay £1,325 costs and a £30 victim surcharge.
Coun Amy Wilson is Sunderland City Council’s Cabinet Member for Environment and Transport: "Following this court case we will continue to monitor the situation and take further action should problems re-occur."

Nov. 6, 1997
KALAMAZOO -- Western Michigan University officials are stepping up measures to protect the newest campus landmark following its defacing early Thursday (Nov. 6) morning.
According to Robert J. Brown, director of the WMU Department of Public Safety, an assailant painted the letters "CMU" in gold on one side of the Bronco Sculpture near Read Fieldhouse and the Student Recreation Center at approximately 4:20 a.m. Because the assailant used an oil-based paint, he said the surface of the sculpture appears to be damaged, although much of the paint has been removed.
A surveillance camera trained on the artwork captured video footage of the assailant, who was wearing a gray WMU sweatshirt. Department of Public Safety officials have made still photographs of the assailant and flyers are being distributed on campus and in the community. Silent Observer is offering a $1,000 reward, as is the Department of Public Safety.
The Department of Public Safety will be patrolling the area near the sculpture round the clock throughout the weekend. In addition, earlier plans to have WMU's ROTC stand guard will continue. WMU officials already had asked the ROTC to help out, anticipating that the sculpture could be vulnerable on the weekend that WMU plays Central Michigan University in football.
Members of two student organizations sponsored by WMU's Department of Military Science, the Rifle Team and the Western Rangers, will be on duty Friday and Saturday, Nov. 7-8. Unarmed but equipped with radios to put them in contact with the Department of Public Safety, teams of two persons will protect the artwork in two-and-a-half-hour shifts.
The ROTC effort is part of Peace'N It Together, a student volunteer initiative to help maintain order in activities surrounding the 1 p.m. Saturday game at Waldo Stadium. Student "peace patrols" will be watching the neighborhoods near campus on Saturday night and notifying police of any incidents by cellular telephones.
The Bronco Sculpture was installed this past April. The one and a quarter life-size bronze piece is intended to serve as a focal point for Bronco spirit and pride. The 1,800-pound sculpture features a Thoroughbred in the act of jumping.
