The film debut of “Dune” last month was hailed on extreme right-wing American websites. It may sound strange for a science-fiction film set some thousands of years in the future to attract such great interest among the ranks of neo-Nazis seeking to restore white supremacy, but anyone following the development of the alt-right would not be surprised.
Since the middle of the last decade, the extreme right has been partially geeky, with a prominent representation of young, white, fantasy enthusiasts. Richard Spencer, who is considered the ideological leader of white-supremacist circles, is an ardent fan of “Dune” and has devoted portions of his radio show to detailed discussions of the books by Frank Herbert on which the film is based.
So what does the radical right like about “Dune”? The answer is clear. It may depict a futuristic world, but it’s one governed according to a feudal order, with houses of nobility battling one another. At the same time, the world portrayed in the film is also capitalist: Its economy is based entirely on the production and manufacture of “spice,” a kind of psychedelic version of petroleum, produced in distant desert realms.
In addition, the mythology created by Herbert has racial foundations: The imperial Bene Gesserit sisterhood seeks to produce the Messiah through planned racial crossbreeding of rival dynasties. All that is enough to turn Paul Atreides, “Dune’s” leading character, played in the new film by Timothee Chalamet, into a hero of the real-life fascist right wing.
An article in the extreme right-wing Daily Stormer describes Atreides as “the leader of the religious and nationalist rebellion against an intergalactic empire.” It even compared him to Hungarian President Viktor Orban in his battle against the European Union.
So is “Dune,” the book and the film, really a fascist or reactionary work? There are those who would argue that the question itself is irrelevant. Since it’s a blockbuster and a product of mass consumption, a movie like this purportedly belongs to the field of entertainment, and there’s no point in looking for deep political meaning in it.
As a result, the vast majority of moviegoers will be satisfied watching the space battles and marvel at the sandworms bursting forth from the dunes. But even if relating to a film as entertainment and nothing more is appropriate when it comes to “Star Wars” – “Dune” is something else.
This epic of huge dimensions is based on one of the most serious and complex science-fiction works ever written. It’s not a superficial story about spaceships and swords, but rather a rich, multilayered work in which Herbert developed the theology, ecology, technology and economy of the universe that he created. And even more than that, in the 21st century, we cannot discount the political importance of science fiction.
To a great extent, the post-modern mythologies of fantasy and science fiction currently play the role that national epics played in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Works such as “Lord of the Rings” and “Dune” can be considered the contemporary counterparts of the German national epic “Song of the Nibelungs,” which inspired Richard Wagner’s eponymous opera cycle.
From that standpoint, one can view production of the new film version of “Dune” as another expression of the conservative fantasies of our time, which go well beyond right-wing American extremist circles. People of all ages are easily swept up in works depicting kings and barons and royal dynasties, or in celebrating the racial differences among elves, dwarfs and humans.
But Herbert’s work contains a fundamental element that sets it apart from most other fantasy and science-fiction works: Islam. Anyone unfamiliar with Herbert’s books will be surprised to come across Arabic, Persian, Turkish and even Hebrew words in the movie. The protagonist Paul Atreides may not be fundamentally different from King Arthur, or from fantasy heroes like Harry Potter or Frodo Baggins (the protagonist of “Lord of the Rings”), but unlike them he bears the title “Mahdi.” This is a concept that originated in the Koran, as a name for the Messiah, especially in Shi’ite Islam. Artreides is also referred to as “Muad’dib,” “Usal” or “Lisan al-Gaib” – titles given here to someone destined to lead a galactic jihad. And if that is not enough - he is also called “Kwisatz Haderech” (the Hebrew term for “the leap forward’), a concept with origins in the Babylonian Talmud.
Herbert cast the future world of “Dune” in the form of a kind of Middle Eastern, Islamic mythology. With the mass-culture reception of this latest rendering of the work, it is conceivable that “Dune” fans will begin to learn Arabic and Persian in order to trace the theological roots of the work. But this space jihadist fantasy also has limitations. The Arab and Islamic characteristics in the work are mostly associated with the Fremen, the desert dwellers on Dune, who are characterized as a kind of rather ignorant and primitive Bedouin.
In his book “Orientalism,” the Palestinian-born intellectual Edward Said criticized the stereotypical representations of the Middle East that are accepted in European and American culture. Indeed, “Dune” is perhaps the most “Orientalist” work in the science-fiction genre. The way in which Arab and Islamic culture are represented is saturated with clichés. The transliteration of Arabic-language words is incorrect. Moreover: As is common in the realm of “white” fantasy, the Fremen Bedouin expect a white savior to lead them to jihad. Herbert seems to have been influenced in this regard by the figure of T.E. Lawrence (of Arabia), the British Orientalist military officer who led some of the battles of the Arab Revolt during World War I.
But even if Herbert represented Islam stereotypically, he deserves credit for at least representing it. Would it have been better for the story of “Dune” – like so many other fictional works – to be set in a Nordic world, with gleaming blond heroes? Dune’s techno-orientalism expresses at least curiosity and fascination with the Islamic world, which is far from self-evident. This curiosity has a context: The books were written in the 1960s, before the era of the “war on terror.” Since the Islamic Revolution in Iran, the rise of Al-Qaida, and the Islamic State, it is hard to imagine that a popular work would be centered around what is referred to as a galactic jihad.
In an article published online in Al-Jazeera last year, Islamic scholar Ali Karjoo-Ravary noted that “Dune” granted Islam a central place in its futuristic world, in an extraordinary way. This future world does not resemble a California-based IT company transplanted to a different world, but a different, non-Western culture with Islamic characteristics.
In recent years, an interesting movement of Muslim futurism has emerged – works of science fiction written by Muslims from around the world, imagining a futuristic Muslim world. It is easier to imagine such a world in the present era, where Middle Eastern urban centers like Dubai and Doha are among the most futuristic cities in the world; moreover, the UAE has sent a probe to Mars. The distant future will not necessarily look like a Facebook board meeting, nor like a gathering of the Knights of the Round Table – but rather like an Islamic caliphate. Only Muslims will save civilization.

text: Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) derived from adipose tissue have immunomodulatory effects, suggesting that they may have therapeutic potential for crescentic GN. crescentic GN. Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs; formally known as mesenchymal stem cells) derived from cord blood, bone marrow, connective, and adipose tissues have the capacity to differentiate into multiple mesenchymal lineages, including osteoblasts, chondrocytes, and adipocytes.1,2 Apart from the classic regenerative property of MSCs, mounting evidence from studies focusing on bone marrowCderived MSCs (BM-MSCs) suggests that MSCs can modulate inflammatory immune responses.3C8 This effect is currently believed to be mediated through MSC-derived growth factors, cytokines, and PGs, which negatively regulate inflammatory immune responses and the proliferation of leukocytes and resident cells that are systemically or locally activated.9C14 As a potential clinical therapeutic agent, ASCs may have a number of practical advantages over BM-MSCs relating to their abundance and availability.15,16 Several studies have demonstrated ASC-mediated immunomodulation of particular leukocyte subsets, including lymphocytes and dendritic cells.14,17,18 This immunomodulatory property of ASCs has already been exploited for therapeutic intervention in inflammatory diseases. A number of clinical trials are underway in which ASCs have been administered to patients with autoimmune disorders, including graft versus host disease, Crohns disease, multiple sclerosis, and SLE.19C21 However, the precise mechanism of ASC-mediated immunomodulation is unclear, and a direct comparison of the efficacy of ASCs versus that of BM-MSCs has not been undertaken. For cell transfer therapy, a reduction in the concentration of serum in MSC cultures is beneficial for recipients because this reduces concerns about infection with microorganisms or pathogenic proteins originating from culture media. However, the concentration of serum in culture media influences MSC expansion than ASCs grown under high-serum conditions (HASCs), despite a similar ability of the two cell BMS-650032 types to differentiate into the mesenchymal cell lineage.14 Therefore, LASC-mediated immunomodulation may have great potential as a cell-based therapy. Anti-GBM GN is characterized by poor prognostic GN with crescent formation (crescentic GN [CGN]), which rapidly results in renal failure after onset of the disease.22 This is characteristic of Goodpastures disease in humans, in which patients may also occasionally present with pulmonary hemorrhage, with dire consequences. Although effector responses by neutrophils, macrophages/monocytes, T lymphocytes, and immune regulation by regulatory T cells and alternatively activated macrophages have been extensively investigated as part of efforts to understand the distinct mechanisms that cause glomerular crescent formation,23C29 BMS-650032 a potent and feasible therapeutic strategy to inhibit leukocyte effector functions and/or augment their regulatory functions has not emerged for CGN patients. Thus, in this study, we investigated the potential of ASCs to exert immunomodulatory TNFSF13 functions in anti-GBM GN. Results Administration of ASCs Ameliorates Disease Activity in a Rat Anti-GBM GN Model The anti-inflammatory properties of ASCs were compared with those of BM-MSCs in a rat anti-GBM GN model. We administered 2.0106 BM-MSCs or ASCs cultured under high-serum BMS-650032 conditions (20% FBS) (HASCs) to TF78-treated WKY/NCrj rats for 6 consecutive days. Elevations in BUN, serum creatinine (sCr), and proteinuria in BM-MSCCtreated rats were comparable with those in untreated rats. In contrast, HASC treatment significantly attenuated renal dysfunction and proteinuria compared with the BM-MSCCtreated and control groups (Figure 1, A and B). Renal histologic analysis on day 7 revealed milder glomerular crescent formation and tubular damage in HASC-treated animals than in BM-MSCCtreated rats (Figure 1, C and D). Moreover, a marked increase in the CD163+ macrophage population, which represents alternatively activated M2 macrophages,30,31 was observed in HASC-treated rats versus the BM-MSCCtreated group (Figure 1E). Because the number of infiltrated CD68+ cells in the glomerulus (which represent infiltrated macrophages or dendritic cells) was similar between the BM-MSCCtreated and HASC-treated groups (Figure 1E), we hypothesized that ASCs may exert their function by phenotypic conversion of macrophages into immunoregulatory cells in inflamed glomeruli after anti-GBM GN induction. Figure 1. Systemic administration of BM-MSCs and HASCs has a protective effect against rat anti-GBM GN. (A) Analysis of renal function in BM-MSCCtreated and HASC-treated rats after induction of anti-GBM GN. The levels of both BUN (left) and sCr (right) … Low-Serum Culture Conditions Amplify the Renoprotective Effects of ASCs Our previous reports demonstrated the therapeutic superiority of LASC transfer versus HASC transfer in several animal models.14,15,32 Systemic or local administration of LASCs improved rat ischemic hind limb injury15 and folic acidCinduced acute renal tubular injury,32 and.

Since his stellar 2012 season with the Savannah Sand Gnats that put him on the high end of the prospect radar, Fulmer has been struggling to stay healthy and has been losing valuable development time. In 2013, Fulmer suffered a torn meniscus during Spring Training which delayed the start of his season until the short season leagues started in late June. He was able to make 9 relatively good starts before a come-backer off the bat of Casey Kotchman struck Fulmer in shoulder/bicep area. The area bruised up pretty good and then developed tendonitis which caused the Mets to worry enough to place Fulmer on the DL for the rest of the season.
2014 started much better in terms of health but all the lost time pitching in 2013 caused Fulmer's "stuff" to regress. His fastball became much more hittable and his breaking pitches kind of flattened out. This caused opponents batting averages against him to skyrocket from a solid .227 Avg to an unsightly .289 Avg. You can possibly attribute it to his discomfort landing on his surgically repaired knee, but, one would expect progression as the season went along which he did not show. Fulmer also developed some stark Lefty/Righty splits (.230 avg vs.R./.338 avg vs. L) during 2014 which could seriously jeopardize his ability to remain a starter. To make matters worse, Fulmer couldn't even finish the season as he landed on the DL again, this time for a shoulder strain he sustained in mid-August.
Despite all that, Fulmer is still a solid prospect who could turn it around and have a dominant 2015. He still possesses a plus fastball that sits between 93-95 mph that has some decently heavy sink. His primary secondary pitch is his slider which scouts believe can develop into an MLB average offering. Currently the slider is his primary weapon against right handers but he lacks an effective secondary pitch to use against lefties as evidenced by his splits. Developing his change-up some more could help mitigate that split but currently the pitch is a below average "40 grade" offering. Working heavily with the change-up guru, Frank Viola, could pay huge dividends for Fulmer this Spring Training.
I hate to use the term "make or break" in reference to prospects development, since anyone can breakout at any time in their individual careers, but 2015 is going to be an extremely important season for Fulmer. He needs to prove that he's fully healthy and he needs to progress his stuff to the next level. With Syndergaard and Matz nearing promotion Fulmer is the highest on the food chain in terms of arms with upside. He'll need to step up if the Mets wish to hold their rank as one of the best farm systems in baseball.

GLENDALE, Az. — Although the Cincinnati Bengals fell just short of reaching its second Super Bowl in a row, State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Az. will still play host to Cincinnati talent when UC Bearcat alumni Travis and Jason Kelce play what the internet has dubbed "the Kelce bowl."
The brothers, born in Westlake, Ohio, played college football at the University of Cincinnati before both were drafted into the NFL — Travis was drafted in the third round in 2013, Jason in the sixth round in 2011.
The first set of brothers 𝙞𝙣 𝙉𝙁𝙇 𝙝𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙮 to face each other in the Super Bowl. 🐐🐐#Bearcats | @GoBearcatsFB pic.twitter.com/Js1gNBMHwF
— Cincinnati Bearcats (@GoBEARCATS) January 30, 2023
Both were star players for the Bearcats in their time wearing red and black. The UC alums played at the University of Cincinnati at the same time, with Jason going to bat for Travis after he was suspended for the 2010 season when a drug test came back positive for marijuana.
"The entire offseason he was begging the coaches to give me another chance," Travis Kelce said on the Shannon Sharpe podcast in 2021. "He set a list of things that I had to accomplish to be able to reap the benefit of playing football at University of Cincinnati. I'm forever thankful for that conversation. It took a lot of guts for him to be able to go in there and put his name on the line for myself, knowing that I threw this scholarship away and down the drain like it didn't mean nothing. There was a moment where I had to grow up."
Travis eventually set the school record for receiving yards for a tight end in the 2012 season.
Now, Travis is a tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs and his brother plays center for the Philadelphia Eagles and the pair will both step onto the field at Super Bowl 57 this year.
Both have several All-Pro selections under their belts, and both are previous Super Bowl champions.
The rivalry between the former-Bearcat brothers kicked off almost as soon as the Chiefs defeated the Bengals to win the AFC Championship on Sunday night.
“Officially done being a Chiefs fan this season!! ” Jason Kelce tweeted immediately after the Chiefs won.
"My mom can't lose," joked Travis in a press conference.

Donna Kelce herself tweeted a photo of her wearing a unique football jersey, declaring she'd made it to Kansas City on Jan. 21, ahead of the Chiefs game against the Bengals. The photo of Donna in her hybrid jersey — half Eagles, half Chiefs — has since been passed around on social media when anyone asked which jersey the brothers' mom would don for the Super Bowl.

Three sub-types of Omicron spreading more in capital
News Desk || risingbd.com
Three different sub-types of Omicron, the mostly contagious variant of coronavirus, have been spreading more in Dhaka, according to a recent study of the International Centre for Diarrhoeal Disease Research, Bangladesh (icddr,b).
The organization published a report on its website on Monday (January 24).
According to the icddr,b report, 1,376 samples were tested in its lab during the first two weeks of January this year. Of them, 28 percent was found positive for coronavirus of which 69 percent was infected with Omicron variant.
Analyzing the genome sequence of Omicron, it has been found that there are three sub-types of Omicron in Dhaka city. These are matched with African, Euro-American and Asia Pacific Omicron types.
According to icddr,b, the first Omicron case was detected on December 6 in Bangladesh. Although it was officially announced on December 11. In the same month, Omicron was detected in bodies of five out of 77 coronavirus patients in Dhaka city tested in icddr,b’s lab. The rest was infected with Delta variant.
The report said, 29 people infected with Omicron were interviewed. Of them, 13 were males and 16 females. There were no symptoms in bodies of 27 people infected with Omicron.
Of the 29 people interviewed, 24 received two doses of coronavirus vaccines. Three people took single dose each. Only one of them was hospitalized for one day. One of the victims of this type of coronavirus is Saudi returnee. The rest had no history of travel.

On Twitter, Leaders, Authors Condemn Attack On Salman Rushdie
New Delhi: World leaders, authors and writers have condemned the attack on author Salman Rushdie, who was stabbed at least twice on stage Friday before he was about to deliver a lecture at the Chautauqua Institution in western New York.
For 33 years, Salman Rushdie has embodied freedom and the fight against obscurantism. He has just been the victim of a cowardly attack by the forces of hatred and barbarism. His fight is our fight; it is universal. Now more than ever, we stand by his side.
— Emmanuel Macron (@EmmanuelMacron) August 12, 2022
Appalled that Sir Salman Rushdie has been stabbed while exercising a right we should never cease to defend.
Right now my thoughts are with his loved ones. We are all hoping he is okay.
— Boris Johnson (@BorisJohnson) August 12, 2022
Utterly horrified & shocked by the stabbing of @SalmanRushdie. Wish him a speedy & complete recovery from his wounds, even though, with a sinking heart, I recognize that life for him can never be the same again. A sad day, worse if creative expression can no longer be free &open.
— Shashi Tharoor (@ShashiTharoor) August 13, 2022
A terrible day for literature, for freedom of speech and for authors everywhere. Poor poor Salman: I pray he's not hurt and recovers quickly https://t.co/JX5LGTMk5L
— William Dalrymple (@DalrympleWill) August 12, 2022
I just learned that Salman Rushdie was attacked in New York. I am really shocked. I never thought it would happen. He has been living in the West, and he has been protected since 1989. If he is attacked, anyone who is critical of Islam can be attacked. I am worried.

Book Review: Waking from the Dream
Waking from the Dream
The Struggle for Civil Rights in the Shadow of Martin Luther King, Jr.
By David L. Chappell
Martin Luther King Jr. would be celebrating his 85th birthday this month. He’d no doubt have much to say about the growing disparity between the rich and the poor, which, as much as race relations, was what was consuming him when he was gunned down on the balcony of a Memphis hotel in the spring of 1968.
In Waking from the Dream, the historian David L. Chappell provides a concise, clearly written, and well-argued account of what happened in the civil rights movement in the decade or two following the Baptist preacher’s death. To summarize: not nearly as much as what happened in the 10 years before.
In the decade or so before King’s death, the Supreme Court desegregated public schools and the Congress passed historic legislation outlawing discrimination in public accommodations and employment, and then adopted the Voting Rights Act. In comparison, one of the few landmarks in the post-King era was the Congress’s action to ban private-housing discrimination.
Chappell cautions us not to find this record overly discouraging, arguing that the late 1950s and early 1960s were extraordinary times, and that the subsequent years mark the less explosive but still important maturation and institutionalization of that revolutionary era.
Two of the most compelling chapters dissect the successful crusade to canonize King with a national holiday and examine how revelations regarding his adultery and college plagiarism briefly knocked King off his saintly pedestal.
No single leader could fill King’s shoes. But Chappell, author of the critically acclaimed book A Stone of Hope, devotes an entertaining chapter to the Rev. Jesse Jackson’s opportunistic efforts to do just that

LG V20 Android Nougat Flagship Makes San Francisco Debut September 6th
LG spilled the beans earlier this week that there would indeed be a follow-up to 2015’s quirky V10 smartphone. The LG V20 will actually be the first smartphone to ship with Android 7.0 Nougat, which would give it bragging rights over Google’s incoming 2016 Nexus flagships.
At the time, LG said that the V20 would debut in September, but now the company is getting a lot more specific. The LG V20 will be unveiled on September 6th at an even held in San Francisco. LG invites uses to “Play More” as “The second story begins” with the V20.
The current V10 has some pretty decent specs including a Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 processor with 4GB RAM, 64GB internal storage and a 5.7-inch QHD display (paired with 2.1-inch secondary display for notifications). We assumed that LG would make the logical step by moving towards a Snapdragon 820 or 821 processor for its successor while sticking with the QHD display.
However, new reports suggest that LG will actually take a step backwards and include a 1080p display rather than QHD. The Snapdragon 820 processor is reportedly a go, as is 4GB of RAM and a 4,000 mAh battery. The smartphone will reportedly be available in 32GB and 64GB capacities, whereas the V10 was only available in a 64GB configuration.
The only thing that we can figure is that LG is perhaps trying to lower the price point of the V20 by going Full HD and providing a 32GB model. The LG V10 debuted with a $700 price tag, which is a lot to ask for a smartphone that doesn’t carry a Samsung or Apple logo on the back.
Whatever the case, we have just over a month before we find out what LG truly has in store for us with the V20.

Whatever your feelings on Brexit it is bound to have a big impact on many aspects of the UK, but what will the impact be on British film? I’ll be upfront from the beginning and say I voted Remain in the referendum and think leaving the EU will have a negative impact on the country. Will we cease to get any funding from the EU and will that hamper creators? Will a Britain freer to trade with foreign countries provide more opportunity? Is this a golden opportunity or a terrible disaster for British film? The unfortunate answer is it’s complicated. There are numerous different scenarios depending on what deal, if any, the UK government reaches.
The Current State of Affairs
For the time being Britain remains a member of the European Union, the European Economic Area and various other treaties and organisations. These agreements have reciprocal benefits and obligations and while the UK pays a substantial sum of money to be in the EU proponents would argue the benefits to the economy and country make it worthwhile. Some of this money goes into a central pot from which citizens or organisations from that area can make applications, for example, the film Paddington received over £300,000 in funding from the EU.
One of the founding principles of the EU is the free movement of people, goods, money and services across participating countries, this basically means it is as easy as possible for people to work, goods to be bought and sold, access and provide services and invest money. Whilst in the EU a UK citizen could easily work in Spain, Italy or any EU country and their citizens do the same. This is based on the belief that these freedoms will lead to increased trade, a stronger economy, more opportunities and more for those involved and will benefit the member countries and EU as a whole.
To be blunt, we don’t know what the situation will be. We could leave the EU but continue to be in the EEA. We could still be involved in funding cultural programmes. We could still give access to EU citizens to work in the UK and vice versa – although admittedly ending free movement of people seemed to be one of the cornerstones of Brexit. There was no clear definition of what Brexit meant and this has been one of the central difficulties of negotiating with the EU.
Brexit As An Opportunity
The British Film Institute conducted an extensive report on the effect Brexit would have on UK film-making, raising many potential problems but it did highlight three areas of opportunity after Brexit:
- Depreciation of currency – since the referendum the value of the UK currency has dropped and, in a nutshell, has made it cheaper for places like America to do business in and with the UK. However, there are negative consequences of having a lower value currency that a government may want to avoid.
- Opening new markets outside the EU – one of the features of the EU was many trade agreements were made with the EU as a whole rather than by individual countries and there were a lot of criteria that had to be met. After Brexit, the UK would be free to negotiate any free trade agreement they wanted with non-EU countries. This could create new markets or mean expanding existing ones.
- Outside of the EU, the government could offer more tax incentives for film production in the UK.
The report also states that as the UK would not automatically be subject to new EU rules that might make the EU a less attractive place to do business with.
It is hard to imagine a Brexit where it will not be harder for EU citizens to work in UK. Some have suggested that EU citizens will have to meet certain criteria around skills and be sponsored by their employer. A big drop in non-UK citizens being allowed to work could be a significant blow to British film-making, an article in Forbes stated that “In terms of post-production, visual effects and animations sectors, up to 40% of personnel are non-U.K. citizens”. Whilst some of those jobs will be taken by qualified UK citizens I doubt there are enough to make up that shortfall, the Forbes article goes onto say, the UK simply does not have enough people who possess these skills. And that is just looking at one area of filmmaking.
Films need money and the EU has put a lot of money into the film industry across Europe, for example, there is the Creative Europe programme which, essentially, could give you funding to make a film or help fund a cinema. Now regardless of what deal is reached, or no deal, the UK government has signalled it wants to remain part of some of these programmes. There is also the possibility that any EU funding that is lost could be matched by the British government, which is what has been promised in the case of Creative Europe in the event of no deal.
Co-productions are when companies from more than one country work together to make a film. Sometimes this could be because the film takes place and is filmed, in two countries or it could be that there is a cultural message of the film the brings together relevant countries. The main reason, especially in recent years, is financial, as it allows more money to be raised from more people. Sometimes minority co-producers may have some creative control and sometimes they don’t. In recent years co-productions have become a smaller part of the UK film industry with the major exception being Ken Loach. Since 1990 Loach has released nineteen films of which fourteen had European co-productions, it is not a stretch to say co-production has been essential to his film-making.
Loach’s relationship with co-productions goes back decades, and creative control of his co-producers have waxed and waned. Sometimes a cultural input from a co-producer is extremely useful, Loach’s film Land and Freedom which was about the Spanish Civil must have benefited enormously from co-producer Tornasol, a Spanish company. Recently Loach has had to sacrifice very little, if any, creative control to co-producers, having many small backers dilutes their potential power.
Looking at the numbers Loach’s more international feel seems to be good for him, 87% of ticket admissions for Loach’s films come from outside the UK, a significant increase on 55% for most British films. What seems the most important factor in Loach’s success with co-production is that this method allows him to raise significant sums of money whilst sacrificing little, if any, creative control.
It is likely after Brexit the UK would not be part of the European Convention on Cinematographic Co-Production (ECCC) which was specifically designed to encourage European co-productions. To be part of this scheme would be to allow people working on the film to, well, be allowed to work on the film. The ECCC allows co-producers to claim the lucrative tax relief given to British film-makers and so make them keener to invest.
There is one definite thing that will be true after Brexit, making films in Europe will be a lot harder and a lot of barriers will go up. Filming in Spain, Poland, France – any EU country will get a lot more complicated. Something as basic as moving filming equipment through countries could become far more difficult.
Essentially there is very little we will know for certain, possibly there will be good and bad aspects to it. I think the best thing for British film-makers, and everyone really is to get a clear picture of what will happen and make decisions on solid information.

Machu Picchu Temperature
Machu Picchu is located in an area that was declared as the Machu Picchu National Sanctuary. With its varied terrain, it offers different climates and temperatures because of the mountain ranges. They can range between temperatures that occur at 2,000 meters above sea level to 6,270 meters above sea level. Overall the climate is mild and display subtropical qualities. This means that at night it can be quite cool, while in the daytime it can be hot and humid.
Temperatures can reach down to lows of 11.2 degrees Celsius, but in the higher mountainous places of the terrain, it can reach 0 degrees Celsius. The place can experience temperatures of negative 2 degrees Celsius from June to July, but from November to March, daytime temperatures can reach 18 degrees Celsius, but nights will still give cool lows at 0 degrees Celsius.
The highest temperature any of the areas in the National Sanctuary reach is 22 degrees Celsius. Sometimes hot days can give temperatures of up to 26 degrees Celsius, which is mainly present from April to October, the dry season, where daytime temperatures reach 23 degrees Celsius.

GOPO is a nutritional supplement that promises to use the power of rosehip with galactolipids for joint long-term care and support.
What is GOPO?
GOPO is a dietary supplement that promises to help maintain healthy and flexible joints. The active ingredient of the supplement is rosehip with “galactolipids”.
The supplement has been available worldwide for years. It is widely used throughout Europe and recently came to America.
Unlike many nutritional supplements joint pain sold online today, GOPO has also gone through clinical trials and legitimate studies. In one study, 8 out of 10 people who took GOPO experienced a reduction in joint pain, no side effects reported after 3 weeks.
How does GOPO?
GOPO power comes from galactolipids. These unique molecules, according to the manufacturer, “stabilize membranes neutrophil migration reduction in tissues that can cause inflammation.”
The reason it works is because after exercise or physical activity, their neutrophils (a type of white blood cell) migrate to the delicate tissues around joints. This inflames the joints and causes joint pain and stiffness.
years, scientists have found a connection between galactolipids and anti-inflammation and anti-oxidation. Galactolipids are not fat molecules from space (despite what you may think of the name). Instead, they are a natural molecule found in rosehip.
galactolipids reduce neutrophil migration while increasing the production of collagen and cartilage, treatment of joint pain at the source. They also function as antioxidants to fight free radicals. By stabilizing and reducing neutrophil migration into tissues, they relieve pain throughout the body.
Still are you following me?
In a more basic level, rosehip works because it contains special compounds that push harmful compounds away from the tissues and joints.
manufacturers GOPO announce all of the following benefits:
- Maintains mobility and flexibility
- help with stiffness joints occasionally
- Increases collagen formation
- reduces fatigue and fatigue experimenting with joints aging
- helps you get a good night sleep
generally, GOPO is advertised as a way of going about their daily activities without pain or discomfort. It is marketed towards people who have daily, ongoing pain, as well as those experiencing pain after exercise or exercise.
GOPO contains only three ingredients: rosehip, gelatin, and vitamin C. Rosehip naturally contains vitamin C levels, although it also seems that the manufacturer adds a bit vitamin C in the form of additional sodium ascorbate. Here is the dosage of each ingredient in a serving of 4 capsules:
- 3g rosehip powder
- 24mcg of GOPO (glycoside of mono- and diglycerol)
- 40mg of vitamin C
regarding dose, GOPO seems to use a much lower dose than what we have seen used in other studies rosehip. 4 capsule Each serving contains 3 grams of rosehip powder. However, in studies like this , published in May 1999, participants were given 45 g of rosehip per day for 4 weeks before lowering the dose to 10 g for a further period of four weeks . This is a significantly higher dose than what is in GOPO.
However, GOPO uses a proprietary version of rosehip extract that is standardized to a higher level of purity. That version is called Hyben Vital, and has suffered a series of studies demonstrating that works by taking 5 grams a day. In this study , for example, patients taking 5g daily Hyben Vital for 3 months experienced a decrease in LDL cholesterol 5%. It also lowered C-reactive protein, although researchers did not say whether or not reduced pain.
Who does GOPO?
GOPO is made in the UK by a company called G. R. Lane Health Products. That company is based in Gloucester, UK. Rosehip extract is imported from Denmark.
The company was founded in 1930 and manufactures a wide variety of herbal medicines, supplements and other natural products. Some of the most popular products of the company include oil Olbas, Kalms tablets, Day Kalms, sleep Kalms, LitoVet, and GOPO joint health.
The company has recently expanded its supplement GOPO Joint Health in the United States, so you may be hearing about it for the first time today.
You can contact the company by calling 1-866-205-1185.
How to Buy GOPO
GOPO is available in more than 4,660 supermarkets and pharmacies throughout the United States, including many natural food stores and food stores. You can see a complete list of participating retailers here: http://ift.tt/2a5QKIT
also appears on that list are major retailers such as Kroger, The Vitamin Shoppe, and Walgreens .
should you use GOPO to reduce joint pain?
GOPO is a dietary supplement that uses a highly pure form of rosehip extract to stabilize the number of white blood cells that inflame the tissue after a workout. The supplement is very popular throughout Europe and made in the UK by a nutritional supplement company that was founded in 1930.
Moreover, the company has also listed a number of studies They have been made in the extract of rosehip, including a lot of Scandinavian studies Hyben Vital benefits, which is the only rosehip extract used in reinforcing GOPO.
Based on all this information, GOPO seems to work as advertised for the treatment of joint pain and reduce inflammation throughout the body.

“In 2011 I was invited to create a piece for an exhibition called “Ctrl-Z” curated by 3d artistEric Van Straaten. This was a group exhibition of artworks created by various 3d printing processes.
The model of the skull was generated from a friend’s dental tomography scan. The form of the object was created by creating an array of copies of the skull, where each successive copy of the skull is scaled, rotated, and moved. The skull starts at life size at the front and ends up rotated 180 degrees and two times larger than life at the back.”
This Saturday, May 18, Jonathan LeVine Gallery in New York City will debut three solo shows: Andy Kehoe‘s “Luminous Reverie,” Marco Mazzoni‘s (HF Vol. 27) “Animanera” andSouther Salazar‘s “Souvenirs.” Known for his multi-layered painting technique, Andy Kehoe creates mysterious fantasy worlds with convincing depth by aggregating layers of resin painted with oil and acrylic. In his latest body of work, Kehoe offers glimpses into nocturnal storybook scenes that delve into mysticism and ritual. Kehoe experimented with sculptural elements in this series of resin boxes, submerging small polymer clay sculptures in the resin to further cultivate an illusion of space despite the works’ flat, illustrative style.
Marco Mazzoni (featured in a special sketchbook insert in our current issue) continues his exploration of the traditional relationship between women and nature in pagan cultures with his color pencil drawings. Paying tribute to midwifes and female healers persecuted for their knowledge of herbal medicine in early Christian times, Mazzoni also connects his latest body of work to contemporary themes. The title, “Animanera,” translates from Italian to “Black Soul” and is an allusion to the troubled political and economic situation in his home country of Italy.
Stay tuned for coverage of Souther Salazar’s “Souvenirs” and see all three shows May 18 through June 15.

The Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) yesterday agreed to let Legislator Diane Lee (李慶安) withdraw from the party over her controversial dual-citizen status, but stopped short of meting out punishment to the four-term legislator it said had damaged the party’s image.
The head of the KMT’s Evaluation and Discipline Committee Juan Kang-meng (阮剛猛) told reporters after the 100-minute meeting yesterday that the decision was unanimous.
“We agree to let her drop out of the party and revoke her membership,” he said.
When asked whether the party would support a motion at the legislature relieving her of her duties as legislator or asking her to return her salary, Juan said it was beyond the committee’s responsibility to do so.
The committee also could not apologize on her behalf or ask her to apologize, Juan said, adding that their job was to “deal with her individual conduct.”
While the Chinese-language United Daily News claimed that the party had asked Lee’s father, former premier Lee Huan (李煥), to talk her into withdrawing from the party, Juan dismissed such speculation yesterday, saying that the committee was an independent body and that they did not have any personal contact with Diane Lee.
Lee sent her assistant to deliver a letter explaining the controversy to 14 committee members yesterday, Juan said. Committee members also received a copy of her party resignation announcement.
Diane Lee issued a statement on Tuesday night announcing her immediate resignation, saying she could not bear to see her party criticized by the public because of the case although the US government had not reached a final decision.
Juan said that although members had different viewpoints on the issue, the reason they agreed to accept her withdrawal was they thought she had caused damage to the party, Juan said.
“She thinks what she did has damaged the party and that she must bear the consequences,” Juan said. “The committee also agreed unanimously that her attitude and the way she handled the matter has caused damage [to the party].”
Juan said that his party responded swiftly to the controversy, adding that the legislature received the reply from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Dec. 22, and the party reached the decision yesterday.
Criticism was rife that the party reacted slowly to the issue and further embarrassed itself when Diane Lee announced her resignation one day before the meeting.
“The committee is like the party’s court of law. We take the initiative to hear the case, and she has every right to take action to defend herself,” Juan said.
The KMT caucus yesterday lauded Lee’s decision to withdraw from the party, but said that Lee should resign her position as a legislator if she does not present documentation proving that she had lost her US citizenship by the end of this month.
“With regard to Legislator Diane Lee’s case, the KMT caucus will deal with it according to the law. In other words, Legislator Diane Lee should specifically present proof of the loss of her US citizenship,” KMT caucus deputy secretary-general Lu Hsueh-chang (呂學樟) said. “For her own good and for the caucus’ and the KMT’s good and for establishing a precedent [on handling government officials’ nationality status], she should make a wise decision,” Lu said.
Lu said the caucus was also opposed to the DPP caucus’ plan to have the legislature rule during tomorrow’s plenary session on Lee and KMT Legislator Mark Li’s (李明星) eligibility to serve in the legislature. The DPP had previously criticized Li, saying that Li did not give up his US citizenship until after he had assumed office earlier last year.

It used to be that strikes were big national news. Every local newspaper, no matter what size, had a labor reporter the same way that they all have finance reporters today. If, say, 1,000 coal miners had been on strike for months, and if there had been 12 of them arrested in a single day, and if there was video—or “film,” back in the day—of automobiles crashing through picket lines, then that would be big national news. Nothing measures the decline of influence of America’s labor unions more than the decline of attention to labor issues by the country’s corporatized and increasingly centralized mainstream media.
All of that is happening, right now, outside Tuscaloosa, Alabama. From AL.com:
More than 1,100 workers at Warrior Met Coal hit the picket lines on April 1, striking for better pay and benefits. Nearly two weeks into the strike, it appeared a settlement had been reached, but that was rejected after the union members “emphatically” voted down the tentative agreement, saying it was not sufficient, according to the United Mine Workers of America. In May, nearly a dozen miners were arrested during a protest outside a mine in Tuscaloosa County. Warrior Met Coal has continued with operations during the strike.
Moreover, there is video of vehicles turning into picket lines, and there also was an unpleasant encounter between representatives of the United Mine Workers and some leftist podcasters, an intramural schismatic conflict that also seems suited to bygone days. The workers rejected a proposed contract between the UMWA and the Warrior Met company at the beginning of April. Meanwhile, the mine itself has been an environmental problem.
Warrior Met Coal is also currently dealing with a labor strike. About 1,100 of its regular employees have been on strike to protest the company’s labor practices since April 1. Warrior Met Coal was formed during the 2016 bankruptcy proceedings of Walter Energy. But since the strike started, local residents say the pollution has ruined their creek. The worst of the discolored water has been seen in Texas Creek, near Milldale Road in Tuscaloosa County. Texas Creek converges with Davis Creek and flows into the Black Warrior River near Holt Lake, upstream of the city of Tuscaloosa.
Which brings us to the other large-scale protest in a small-scale locale—namely, in Solway in northern Minnesota. There, a coalition of environmentalists, local farmers, and Native peoples have gathered to protest the replacement of the Line 3 pipeline owned by Enbridge, a Canadian-based energy company. The pipeline runs from Alberta south through Minnesota and northern Wisconsin. The new pipeline will carry tar sands oil as well as regular crude oil. On Monday, protestors chained themselves to construction equipment and 30 of their number were arrested and hauled off. From the Minneapolis Star-Tribune:
Environmental and tribal groups say Enbridge Energy's plan to rebuild Line 3, which would carry Canadian tar sands oil and regular crude from Alberta to Wisconsin, would worsen climate change and risk spills in sensitive areas where Native Americans harvest wild rice, hunt, fish, gather medicinal plants, and claim treaty rights…More than 300 groups delivered a letter to Biden last month calling on him to direct the Army Corps of Engineers to suspend or revoke Enbridge's federal clean water permit for the project. They urged Biden to follow the example he set on the first day of his administration, when he canceled the disputed Keystone XL pipeline, citing worries about climate change.
There are American citizens who can protest without violent Sam Adams cosplay and bear spray. We all still should take some pride in this.

The software industry is about to see a revolution in the salaries of entry-level engineers. In this blog post, we’ll share 12 signs that there will be an increase of salary for new graduates and why you need to prepare your business with conversion rate optimization strategies and tactics.
So what does this mean for salaries? Well one study shows
It’s hard to make a living as an entry-level software engineer
There are very few jobs available in the industry right now for this position, and there is no sign of any good news coming soon.
Many people say that a conversion rate optimization company can help you with your SEO needs if they have been doing it correctly then they should be able to do your website just fine.
Working on these types of sites will give them experience which is needed when trying to get into the field of being an Entry Level Software Engineer.
The more knowledge about how search engines work and what keywords mean would only benefit someone so much who wants access to all those different markets out on the web today.
Around the world, there are a number of signs that indicate an entry level software engineer salary revolution is imminent. There’s been talk about it for years, but with all the factors converging at once and that pressure building up, such a shift could be just around the corner.
Here are 12 signs indicating this change:
software engineering as work has become more complex and demanding in recent years due to changes in technology (e.g., cloud computing) which have created new challenges on top of old ones;
Employers now see “soft skills” like problem solving ability, creativity or communication skills as being much higher priorities than technical knowledge when hiring engineers; they want creatives who can do coding when they need them to.
The success of MOOCs has spread the world that coding knowledge is not difficult or out-of-reach and can be taught with a few hours of study; this skepticism towards engineers, in turn, erodes their negotiating power at work;
Coding bootcamps are booming as people realise there’s a way around traditional degree programmes – just one year and you’re upskilling!
So if you want an edge over your competition for high demand engineering jobs, it might be time to start considering taking some courses on programming languages like Python. It’ll make all those interviews much easier too.
It sounds like software engineer salaries have been stagnant for years but now it feels like the next revolution is coming.
Competition for high demand engineering jobs, especially in tech hubs such as San Francisco Bay Area or New York City has become intense because of a supply and demand imbalance;
Large technology companies are already noticing that there’s not enough engineers to fill their open positions (due to those who were laid off during the dotcom bust) meaning they have more power over what salaries look like than ever before!
The salary revolution will come when people realise how lucrative it can be to switch careers into software development – so if you’re thinking about breaking through this glass ceiling, now might just be your time?
That means entry level developers get paid less which then causes them to make less money on the conversion rate optimization strategies of tomorrow – but at least they have a job!
The average salary for an entry level software engineer is $90,00 and it’s growing by 18.38% yearly;
Granted this number does not take into account top developers who are earning over $200k per year or those in Silicon Valley ($500K+), New York City (over one million!), or Seattle ($275K+)
But even so, that’s still pretty impressive considering how much more competitive the market has become these days..and we’re only just getting started.
A lot can happen when you consider what happens to all those lowly paid employees with no benefits after their company is bought out and the new company lays them off.
This usually means that they’re commuting to a job 20 miles outside of their house for an hour each way, working in excess of 60 hours per week, but still not making enough money to cover living costs
But what happens when companies are no longer buying other companies? And instead focus on acquisition through conversion rate optimization strategies like organic search engine optimization campaigns where it’s free to do? That is going to mean more jobs – with benefits! – for all those lowly paid employees while also bringing manufacturing back home so you can sleep at night knowing your kids aren’t getting poisoned by some Chinese factory . ..
I should mention there will be many blue collar workers who will be affected by the conversion rate optimization strategies of tomorrow, but there’s a good chance they’ll have more options available to them than ever before.
A new type of creative class is emerging that has skills and knowledge in areas like computer programming, web development, data analysis, graphic design and marketing –
These are all jobs where you can earn $50k or higher as an entry level software engineer salary after just a few years of training . .. At first glance it seems like these individuals will be able to command exorbitant salaries because their skillsets are so valuable. But what happens when companies are no longer buying other companies? And instead focus on acquisition through conversion rate optimization strategies like organic search engine optimization campaigns where it’s free
The conversion rate optimization industry is at the precipice of a new era. This revolution will be driven by engineers who are just starting their careers today. But how do you prepare for tomorrow? What skills and experiences need to be developed in order to thrive during this economic evolution? In our next post, we’ll explore what it takes to become an engineer ready for future CMO strategies – right now!
A Entry Level Software Engineer Salary Revolution Is Coming: Are You Ready for the Conversion Rate Optimization Strategies of Tomorrow? – 12 Signs a Entry Level Software Engineer Salary Revolution Is Coming: Are You Ready for the Conversion Rate Optimization Strategies of Tomorrow? ( blogpost ) ..(continued).. In the meantime, please read our latest article on Conversion Rate Optimization Strategies for Tomorrow. Here’s a brief snapshot of what you’ll learn: What is conversion rate optimization? Why should I care about CRO? Where does conversion rate optimization fit within my marketing strategy? How do marketers measure success when analyzing CROs efforts and results? (e.g., goals) When building your plan, how many high-value items are suitable to test at one time in order to achieve statistical significance by calculating confidence intervals and yielding accurate conclusions from experiments that can then be applied across other channels or products with similar metrics? (Experimentation) What are some common pitfalls related to conversions or preventing them


After having John Krasinski and Emily Blunt over at their NYC apartment to watch the presidential debate on Monday, Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux were seen making their way through the busy streets of Manhattan. On Wednesday, the couple, who recently celebrated their one-year wedding anniversary, kept things casual in sunglasses and jeans and appeared to be in a good mood as they exited a building.
Jennifer's outing comes just two days after Justin weighed in on Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's recent split. In an interview with Business Insider, the actor called it "terrible news" and said it was "nonsense" that his wife was being thrown into the middle of the drama. Jennifer's BFF, Courteney Cox, also came to her defence on Tuesday, telling ET she isn't happy with people dragging her friend into Brad and Angelina's split, adding, "It's not about her."
