Criticism of Woolf is often polarised into viewing her work as either fundamentally progressive or reactionary. In this 2007 book, Steve Ellis argues that her commitment to anxiety about modernity coexists with a nostalgia and respect for aspects of Victorian culture threatened by radical social change. Ellis tracks Woolf's response to the Victorian era through her fiction and other writings, arguing that Woolf can be seen as more 'Post-Victorian...

Miami Beach has authorized police officers to hand out citations to people who refuse to wear masks in the city's commercial districts during the holiday season.
City Manager Jimmy Morales said the enforcement, which begins Wednesday, is in response to the anticipation of a high number of visitors for Thanksgiving weekend.
Officers are authorized to hand out masks to people who are not wearing one. If they refuse to take it, the officer will then issue a citation. Police will focus on the city's commercials districts, like Lincoln Road, Ocean Drive and Washington Avenue.
This is despite an executive order from Gov. Ron DeSantis back in September that suspended the collection of COVID-19 related fines.
"We recognize that under the governor's order, we cannot collect any fine or penalty, but the purpose is more about putting folks on notice and encouraging safe behavior," Morales said in a statement Tuesday.
The new crackdown will run through the holiday weekend and could be extended by city leaders.

We've gone the vegetarian meal route before on a transatlantic, but, as always with airplane food, it's super iffy what you'll end up with. The Traveling Plant Eater...he's on to something.
[Photos: Andy Miles for Jaunted]
A vegetarian meal to London on United
True story: we once did a grand tour of Europe with a friend who kept Kosher, and just observing her frustration with menus and what little she could eat at some of the coolest places we'd come across...well that left an impact. We can't even imagine what finding proper food can be like for a vegan on the road, but luckily there's a blog that's looking to unearth the best vegan meals around the globe: The Traveling Plant Eater.
The writer is Ray, a 30-year-old who owns an edamame business and travels frequently to support it. That's interesting on its own, but then there's the fact that he's vegan and faced with things like finding suitable meals in airports, or praying that the vegetarian in-flight meal work out. For example, The Traveling Plant Eater recently gave an overview of what there is to eat for a vegan at Miami International Airport, and reviewed Cathay Pacific's new vegan in-flight meal.

Most liquid manure fertiliser recipes call for using composted material. This is because fresh manures are too strong, or "hot" to use on plants without seriously burning or killing them. Composted manure has aged, decomposed and cooled off. But not everyone has the time, space or desire to deal with composting poop themselves. You can make your own liquid horse manure fertiliser with fresh droppings in the autumn, well ahead of planting time. Simply allow your garden to do the composting for you. This recipe is sufficient for feeding about 9 square metres (100 square feet) of garden area.
Situate a 248 litre (55 gallon) drum where it won't be in your way. Fill it about half full of water. You'll need to do this several weeks before fall preparation of your spring gardening site.
Fill a 23 litre (5 gallon) bucket with horse manure. This is a convenient way to measure up about 20.5 to 23 kg (45 to 50 lb) of poop.
Divide the manure into two large old pillowcases or burlap bags. Twist the open ends and secure each with a knot.
Put the bagged manure in the 248 litre (55 gallon) drum. Fill it the rest of the way with water to about 15 cm (6 inches) from the top. Allow it to steep for 3 to 4 weeks.
Remove the bags of manure and squeeze the excess fluid from them into the drum.
Cultivate your spring gardening site as you usually do. Incorporate the liquid horse manure fertiliser into the top 15 to 20 cm (6 to 8 inches) of soil. This will give the hot manure plenty of time to age and decompose into the soil, making it safe for spring planting.

We all have our favorites. Some have a favorite comfy chair. Some love their homemade racks and screens. Seth Valencia has a favorite as well. You could say that his favorite is a MartinLogan—well, everything.
Unfortunately, there’s no MartinLogan HDTV and no MartinLogan throw pillows. (Although, the company should really consider sending Seth a few, just to commemorate his loyalty.) His seven MartinLogan products are his babies, as well as the cornerstone of his living room theater.
“It’s one of the very first things that grabs you when you walk in,” Seth says of his two 6-foot-tall reQuest speakers. “They’re very striking!” Seth is very proud of each of his five MartinLogan speakers and two subwoofers, which he says sound amazing.
Apparently, it was love at first listen. Back in 1996, Seth got to sample a pair of MartinLogan Monolith III speakers. “I was awestruck! Never before had I heard such detail and finesse in a speaker as I did with those,” he says. “From that point, I knew that someday I would own MartinLogans.”
They would soon come. However, he didn’t start his dream room with dream speakers. A year before he got a glimpse of the Monoliths, he had a JVC 55-inch widescreen rear-projection TV, a 5.1-channel Paradigm speaker setup, his laserdisc player and S-VHS deck. At the time, it was very state of the art.
Some of the gear does remain; he’s just upgraded a bit. The S-VHS, Minidisc, Laserdisc and CD player are all still there. However, everything else is essentially new. Sadly, none of the Paradigm units are still being used. However, the company is still an essential part of his 9.2 setup. Along with his fleet of MartinLogans, he’s added Paradigm Mini Monitors, which are used as left and right height surrounds, as well as rear center surrounds.
He has a ton of other equipment too, including his prized Denon AVP-A1HDCI preamp/processor. “It’s the heart of the whole system and every part of the home theater needs it for functionality,” Seth says. “At the time I decided on the Denon AVP, there was no other pre/pro that could touch it.” Seth says that statement still stands true nearly two years later.
Aside from the pre/pro, Seth’s two racks are stuffed with all kinds of other A/V goodies. This is awesome for family and friends. However, hooking the whole thing up was a bit of a challenge. To get the 9.2-surround sound working together in harmony, Seth ran flat 14-gauge speaker wire to each of the six surround speakers. The front reQuests and Theater i MartinLogan center-channel units use 12-gauge wire, with the reQuests being connected in bi-wire fashion. He also spent a lot of time getting two rack’s worth of cables under control. “The end result was well worth the time it took to complete it.”
Overall, Seth’s project took a total of four years, from beginning to end. Once he had those MartinLogans, everything else seemed to fall into place. “Then over the course of a year, I really wanted to have an even more immersive surround experience,” Seth says. That’s when the Paradigm Mini Monitors were added to achieve a full 9.2 system. In 2007, Seth upgraded his television, putting in his beloved 70-inch Sony SXRD HDTV. “The Sony, in my opinion, is still one of the best TVs out there.”
Of course, nothing beats a big projector. Even Seth knows it. “I would love to watch movies on a 110-inch screen!” With his eyes on that prize, he had originally picked a Sony SXRD projector and screen from Stewart Filmscreen. However, his room just wouldn’t play along. “The kitchen and dining areas are adjacent to the home theater room,” he says. “Anytime someone would go into the kitchen and turn on the lights, stray light would enter the viewing area.” So, the projector is out—at least until he can find a combo that will work with his lighting issues.
That’s not the only possibility for Seth’s future. He says that since he’s adding items all the time, he feels that the room will never be fully completed. Recently, he’s added items, such as the Denon DVD-A1UDCI Blu-ray player. Naturally, MartinLogan will always be close to his heart (and ears). “The dream has finally been realized,” Seth says. “Now every time I watch a movie or listen to music, I can’t help but smile from the beautiful sound that is presented.”

(CNN Spanish) – Colombian presidential candidate Gustavo Petro, who received more than 40% of the vote in the first round, has spoken numerous times about “social amnesty,” an amnesty proposal that has sparked controversy and surprises, and his attempts to explain it have been criticized. to their opponents. The issue became relevant during the presidential campaign when it was revealed that Petro’s brother had met with politicians convicted of corruption in prison and the candidate referred to the concept again.
But what exactly is this “social amnesty” proposed by the left-wing candidate for the Colombian presidency, and why is it already so controversial?
Before the Colombian Senate, in August 2021, Petro explained His suggestion comes from the concept of tolerance put forward by the French philosopher Jacques Derrida (1930-2004).
What does “social tolerance” consist of?
“(Derrida) says that in some historical epoch, all too often, a society can have an imaginative, creative, and virtuous act of great social forgiveness for its members,” He said Pietro added that this act has the same “generation of social creation” as revolutions.
“Can we believe that it is possible that Colombia, after two centuries of perpetual wars, has reached a moment of general social tolerance? I think so,” he added.
Who is affected by this wide forgiveness? Petro believes that the perpetrators “regardless of whether they have committed political crimes that warrant amnesty or amnesty or have committed crimes against humanity,” adding that the exact name of this amnesty, whether it is an amnesty or not, will depend on the laws.
What are the conditions?
He told him, “Social tolerance is an expression of a society looking for reconciliation. It has a drive: ending the conflict in Colombia. So prison is not the key piece, (it is) the human heart.” Petro, the former mayor of Bogotá and now a candidate for the historic charter, to Fernando Ramos on CNN in May.
“If we are able to forgive a series of events that we say are unforgivable in modern Colombian history, we will be able to reconcile them.”
But in order to grant this social tolerance “which is not divine, it is human,” Pietro noted, there must be certain “historical conditions,” based on a prior process of “truth and reparation to victims, through specific mechanisms.” .
On this matter, Petro already have indicated In August 2021 that “before an amnesty is issued all property must be returned to the dispossessed and the whole truth.”
The controversial visit
At the beginning of April, Colombian media revealed that the brother of candidate Juan Fernando Petro had visited former senator Ivan Moreno, convicted of corruption, in the Greater Bogota prison and the prison complex “La Pecota”.
The revelation caused controversy in Colombia and Petro Certain that his brother was not part of his campaign and that the meeting took place independently. I haven’t sent anyone to speak with Ivan Moreno. They are the prisoners who asked to speak to the Ecclesiastical Commission for Justice and Peace. “It didn’t even cross my mind,” he said on his Twitter account. Twitter.
On April 11, referring to the visit In an interview with Radio WPietro again mentioned the concept of social tolerance, noting that Ivan Moreno “suggested that we be constructive is something I suggested in the name of ‘social tolerance’, and that is what is being discussed in prisons”.
Moreno was sentenced in 2015 to 14 years in prison for his involvement in the “circular recruitment” corruption scandal, according to the Effie news agency. Meanwhile, his brother Samuel Moreno, the former mayor of Bogotá, was sentenced to 18 years in prison for taking bribes into a local health network contract for 67,000 million pesos (about $22 million), within the same process.
The “social tolerance” proposal sparked criticism of Petro, especially from his rivals in the upcoming elections, and after learning of the meeting between Petro’s brother and Moreno. In a recent survey by Yanhas, 78% of those interviewed said they were against “social amnesty for those convicted of corruption and drug smuggling.”
The survey uses a sample of 1,232 people, from April 30 to May 7, with a margin of error of 3.2% and a confidence level of 95%.
Your ex-partners and political superiors (who are in prison today x are corrupt [sic]), they have an agreement with you that you yourself gave as evidence to give them such a “social pardon” in exchange for voting. “The country already knows that,” he said. Your Twitter account Federico Gutierrez, candidate for the presidency of Colombia on behalf of the Iquibo Port Colombia coalition.
“Social Tolerance? Zero Tolerance for Those Who Seek Corruption”, He said Sergio Fajardo, who will also compete in the May 29 elections for the Centro Esperanza alliance.
But Pietro says to raise the debate from the field of social reconciliation and not from government action. “Social tolerance has nothing to do with what is legal, it stems from society,” he told Fernando Ramos. “It has nothing to do with the government, which creates laws such as amnesty or commutation of sentences,” he added.
In mid-April, Petro denied that he was using “social tolerance” for political gain, He assured that he will go to court to defend himselfAnd he gave more details about his project from his Twitter account.
“Does social tolerance mean that the corrupt get out of prison or their punishment reduced? Not at all. On the contrary. Social tolerance means that all corrupt people go to prison without exception and pay their punishment. Corruption is the breaking of forgiveness.” He said.
“Social forgiveness is not granted by the president, but by society, and I believe that in exchange for truth and reparation, the greatest beneficiaries of this pardon will be those who [el expresidente Álvaro] Uribe Velez and his friends and thousands of soldiers of all ranks” tweet.
Old idea from Petro
But far from these controversies, Pietro has been working on the idea of ”social tolerance” for a long time.
In his article “Forgiveness is Solidarity”, which was included in 2002 in the book “Political Culture and Tolerance”, published by the Universidad del Rosario, the former mayor of Bogotá argues that “in a country, unfortunately, the unforgivable is already part of that everyday life, It comes to my mind that every day, in every moment, we must have daily forgiveness that undoes the unforgivable.”
He adds: “The minimum amnesty corresponds to the minimum compact of solidarity to build a nation without exceptions which we can finally call, categorically, a democracy.”

Solar flare today! Sun spews out terrifying C-class solar flare; Planet in peril?
Earth is in the firing line as the Sun has spewed out a dangerous C-class solar flare from solar region AR3272.
Recently, a minor shortwave radio blackout over the Indian Ocean area due to a newly formed sunspot which exploded, spitting out an M3-class solar flare on April 6. The affected countries included India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and even China, Japan, and South Korea. The Sun has gradually become violent due to its Solar Cycle 29 which is expected to hit its peak in July 2025. Therefore, Earth is in for a rough ride until then. Recently, the Sun spewed out C-class solar flare which could make its way towards Earth soon.
According to a report by the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), as many as 19 C-class flares were produced by the Sun yesterday, April 9. The strongest of them was a C-9.1 solar flare, just shy of an M-class solar flare which was hurled out. What's shocking in 18 of these solar flares originated from a single region known as AR3272 which has an unstable beta-gamma field, according to spaceweather.com.
There is a 95% chance of C-class solar flares hitting Earth today, but that is not it. As per the report, there is a 30% chance for M flares, and a 5% chance for X flares too.
Effects of solar activity
While Earth's magnetosphere deflects most solar activity carried by the solar wind, some charged particles seep through. These energetic particles cause magnetic disturbances, classified as either geomagnetic storms or substorms. These storms can cause stunning sky phenomena known as Auroras or Northern Lights.
When solar particles hit Earth, the radio communications and the power grid is affected when it hits the planet's magnetic field. It can cause power and radio blackouts for several hours or even days. However, electricity grid problems occur only if the solar flare is extremely large.
How NASA monitors solar activity
Among many satellites and telescopes observing the Sun currently, one is the NASA Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO). The SDO carries a full suite of instruments to observe the Sun and has been doing so since 2010. It uses three very crucial instruments to collect data from various solar activities.
They include Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) which takes high-resolution measurements of the longitudinal and vector magnetic field over the entire visible solar disk, Extreme Ultraviolet Variability Experiment (EVE) which measures the Sun's extreme ultraviolet irradiance and Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) which provides continuous full-disk observations of the solar chromosphere and corona in seven extreme ultraviolet (EUV) channels.

We are always looking for new ideas and things to use in our solos so that we can keep improving and stay inspired. In this lesson I am going to go over three examples of some less common ideas that you can add into you vocabulary when using Mixolydian, so if you are playing over a dominant chord. I chose to keep it in a more modal context than in a cadence since these ideas are very useful and easy to study on a static or modal background.
For each of the licks I have also added some exercises to get familiar with the new structure and talk a little about how to use them in jazz licks.
Scale, Chord, Mode and all that
The examples in this lesson are all on a D7 chord, so I am using D mixolydian which is of course the same as G major, since D7 is the dominant of G. Below in example 1 a position of the G major or D mixolyidan scale is shown.
Quintal Harmony – The sound of the Police.
The first structure you can experiment with is the quintal arpeggio. As you hear me play in the video this arpeggio is associated with the sound of Andy Sumners from the Police. That said, if you ask a jazz piano player he might talk about how Kenny Barron is using it a lot and Hendrix was fond of it as well, so it is certainly not unique to the Police.
A good way to check this arpeggio out is to consider it a diatonic arpeggio and play it through the scale, In example 2 I have done this on the A, D & G string set.
One note per string exercises like this are always great for your right hand if you alternate pick.
Another very useful exercise is to take the quintal arpeggio and play it through a position of the scale. Probably this is more for overview and to connect it with the scale than for speed.
A Jazz Guitar Lick with Quintal Arpeggios
On the D7 chord there are of course several different options for a quintal arpeggios. In this example I am using the one from the 5th: A E B, which related to a D root: 5th, 9th and 13th.
The lick starts with the quintal arpeggio and from there continues with a descending scale run down to the 1 of the 2nd bar. In the 2nd bar the melody is first a quartal arpeggio from C: C F# B which is also what you might know as a D7(13) without the root. The Last part of the lick is a scale run in a 3 note per string B minor (or D major) pentatonic scale.
The Forgotten Triad Pairs
Usually when you see people work with Triad Pairs in improvisation they stick with the two major triads next to each other and work with that sound. So in a C major context that would be F and G major triads. In fact you can choose any set of two triads next to each other and use that as a triad pair and often you can find a set that works better with the chord you are using it on than the two major triads.
In this example I am making a triad pair by removing the one note that you can’t really emphasize on a D7: G. If we take that note a way we are left with 6 notes in the scale and those 6 notes form the Am and Bm triads.
There are several ways to work on these triad pairs. Here is first the Am and Bm triads in the position. I play them in inversions alternating the Am and Bm triads.
Here is a similar exercise but on the A,D and G string set.
Triad Pair melodies: Beautiful intervals
The lick using the triad pairs is almost exclusively using the triad pairs. The first part is chaining together Am root position and a Bm 2nd inversion. From there it continues with a 315 pattern of the Am and the same for the Bm triad. The ending is a smale melody fragment constructed from an Am triad.
The exotic Sus4 options
In my recent lesson on Melodic Minor I also talk about the diatonic sus4 triads (check it out: HERE).
The Sus4 triads are a great sound, they are of course also related to quintal and quartal harmony since: Asus4 is A D E, E A D is a quartal arpeggio and D A E is a quintal arpeggio.
The first sus4 arpeggio that I am using is an F#dim(sus4). F#dim is F# A C, and F#dim(sus4) is F# B C. This is in fact spelling out the core of the D7 Mixolydian with C and F# and adding a 13th with the B.
You may recognize the arpeggio as the opening statement in the Joe Henderson piece Inner Urge.
The arpeggio is shown in the position here below:
The other arpeggio I use is an Asus4 arpeggio. This is shown in position here below in example 9:
The sus4 triads are a great way to add extensions and also get some larger intervals in the lick because they by design already contain a 4th and a 5th interval.
Mixolydian Sus4 triads in Action!
The Line starts with a simple statement of the basic chord: D and F#. This is used as a motif and played in reverse a step lower: E C. The last half of the first bar is an Em pentatonic fragment. In the 2nd bar the melody is the F#dim(sus4) arpeggio in 2 octaves.
Putting all of this to use!
Of course the point of these exercises and the licks are to demonstrate what is possible with these structures. For all of the ideas there are many more options available if you try to find other sus4 triads or triad pairs.
The material in this lesson doesn’t become really useful until you work a bit with it and start making your own lines, so don’t forget to incorporate it in your own playing!

Council looks for options on damaged ED building
by Dolores Hamilton
The Iowa Park City Council is working on the difficult decision of what to do with the city’s Economic Development building. Recent rains have brought to light the extensive structural damage that has been going on since the building was constructed in 1988.
At Monday night’s meeting, the council discussed authorizing the city manager to make the necessary repairs.
Describing the damage, City Manager Jerry Flemming said the west wall and roof were not tied properly to the adjacent building and there is damage to the wall. The slab had been submerged on the north and south sides of the building and there is considerable damage to these walls. The sheetrock, insulation, carpet and ceiling tiles have been taken out to expose the studs, and widespread termite damage was found.
Flemming said they had received three proposals, one from Iowa Park and two from Wichita Falls, for the repairs. “Why weren’t local contractors contacted?,” asked Lori Shierry. “We seem to just get estimates from a couple of people.” Flemming told her that with more rain in the forecast, this was handled as an emergency and not advertised.
To build a new roof, walls, and flooring, the cost was estimated to be $30,000 to $40,000. “So, we could be putting lipstick on a pig,” Tim Sheppard observed. “We would be better off building a new building.” He asked if there were other buildings nearby that could be used for the economic development office.
After hearing descriptions of the damage, the meeting was temporarily adjourned to allow council members to walk across the street and see the damage first hand. When they returned, several council members voiced their opinion that more money should not be put into the building and, as an option, they should look around for a building downtown that would be suitable.
The structure was built as a meeting place for the Chamber of Commerce in exchange for office space the chamber built east of the council chambers at city hall. The Chamber had a service agreement with the city to use the building for its meetings and storage space. The agreement is due to expire in September.
Council voted to not renew the agreement and directed the city manager to contact the chamber board to discuss renegotiation.
Council then tabled action on building repairs and will renew discussion of options at the next meeting.
In other business, Shawn Mahler with Bobby Bounds Excavation requested an exemption of the fireworks ordinance, use of Gordon Lake Dam for a public fireworks display on July 3, and permission to close the sidewalk on the dam from 12-noon until after the show for public safety. He said there would be an improved sound system this year. Council approved the request.
David Parkey was granted an exemption to the Building Regulations Ordinance so he can open a portion of Cheyenne Ave. to serve a 5.51 acre parcel of land he wants to sell as a residential lot.
The city manager was authorized to execute a special warranty deed on behalf of the city for property at 600 W. Bank to Gene James Heating and Air Conditioning.
The City entered into a Texas Capital Fund Contract with the Texas Department of Economic Development and an Economic Development Agreement with the Gene James Air Conditioning and Heating in 1999, and the company is prepared to make the final payment.
After meeting in closed session, the council appointed John Campbell to serve on the Planning and Zoning Commission, and Gay Bradford to fill a vacancy on the Community Development (4B) Board.
Earlier in the meeting, Jason Owen and Justin Penn were sworn in as Reserve Patrol Officers.

text: The flow of alumina-water nanofluid across heated circular tubes arranged in inline and staggered arrays in a heat exchanger has been studied. The thermophysical properties of the nanofluid are determined using Corcione correlations, which are based on several experiments. The nanoparticle diameter dp is between 10 and 50 nm, with particle volume fraction ϕ varying from 0.01 to 0.05 and Reynolds number Re ranging from 10 to 200. Heat transfer augmentation takes place when nanoparticle concentration is increased. Mean Nusselt number NuM is increased by 31% when ϕ is increased from 0.01 to 0.05 at Re = 200 and dp = 10 nm in an inline array and by 25% in a staggered array. The use of smaller nanoparticles significantly promotes the thermal performance of the heat exchange arrays; NuM is enhanced by 20% for the inline array and by 16% for the staggering array when dp decreases from 50 nm to 10 nm at Re = 200 and ϕ = 0.05. NuM of the staggering array of cylinders at Re = 200, dp = 10 nm and ϕ = 0.05 is 60% greater than NuM of an inline array of cylinders. Finally, correlations are derived for the calculation of NuM of inline as well as staggered arrays.

After all the waiting, Porsche has finally taken the wraps off of the 2010 Porsche 911 Turbo, which will make its debut at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show next month in Coupe and Cabriolet form.
So – let’s get right down to the details you’re waiting to hear. Power comes from a 3.8L flat-six boxer engine, which has direct-fuel injection technology, a new expansion intake manifold and Porsche’s turbocharger with variable turbine geometry. All that allows for 500-hp, 20 more horsepower than the outgoing model. Maximum torque is increased by 15 for a total of 516 lb-ft, when equipped with the optional Sport Chrono Package Turbo.
When combined with Porsche new PDK 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, the 2010 911 Turbo goes from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.2 seconds and keeps going to a top speed of 194 mph. Even with all that performance, the 2010 911 Turbo reduces CO2 emissions by almost 18 percent while improving the mpgs (official mpg figures will be released by the EPA at a later date).
Sales of the 2010 911 Turbo Coupe and Cabriolet will begin in January 2010 with prices starting at $132,800 and $143,800 respectively.

2010 Porsche 911 Turbo (Coupe and Cabriolet):
Porsche continues to create more from less; greater driving dynamics, lower fuel consumption
ATLANTA – August 7, 2009 – Porsche has traditionally put great emphasis on the efficiency of its cars, but the new flagship 911 will give a whole new meaning to its high performance label: while its acceleration, braking and handling capabilities make it a true super sports car, it will go about its business with a thriftiness that is equally remarkable and by no means the norm in its class.
Combining technological innovations with clear-cut refinement for an even greater dynamic driving experience, Porsche AG will present its new flagship, the new 2010 Porsche 911 Turbo at the Frankfurt Motor Show September 17-27, 2009 in both Coupe and Cabriolet form.
The new Turbo features the first entirely new engine in its storied 35-year-history. The new flat-six boxer engine now displaces 3.8 liters and delivers 500 bhp, an increase of .2 liters and 20 bhp from the previous model. Direct Fuel Injection (DFI), a new expansion intake manifold first seen on the GT2 and Porsche’s exclusive turbocharger system with variable turbine geometry (VTG) lead the innovations. Maximum torque is up by 15, to 516 lb. ft. when equipped with the optional Sport Chrono Package Turbo.
The Sport Chrono Package Turbo allows the 2010 911 Turbo to accelerate from 0-60 mph in 3.2 seconds when combined with the new, highly acclaimed Porsche-Doppelkupplung, or PDK seven-speed transmission. Also included in the Sport Chrono Package Turbo is Porsche’s innovative dynamic engine mounts. Introduced earlier this year on the 2010 GT3, the new mounts utilize magnetic fluid that automatically adjusts for comfort or sport, depending on the driving conditions. Top track speed is 194 mph for both the Coupe and the Cabriolet models.
This combination of technology and evolution ensures an unprecedented standard of efficiency and performance.
The new 911 Turbo reduces CO2 emissions by almost 18 per cent compared to its predecessor while using significantly less fuel. Official EPA fuel economy figures are not yet available.
A new, optional three-spoke steering wheel with gearshift paddles as an alternative to the standard steering wheel with its proven shift buttons is also available for PDK equipped Turbos. Mounted directly on the steering wheel, the right paddle is for shifting up, the left paddle for shifting down.
Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV) can now enhance the standard Porsche Traction Management (PTM) all-wheel drive and Porsche Stability Management (PSM). This new optional system includes a mechanical limited slip differential and actively distributes power between the rear wheels, making the car even more agile and precise in corners for an even higher level of driving pleasure.
The 2010 Turbo Coupe and Turbo Cabriolet go on sale January 2010. U.S. pricing is $132,800 and $143,800 respectively.

SpaceX has confirmed that following the outcome of an investigation into how its Falcon 9 rocket exploded in September 2016 it will relaunch the craft on January 8.
For the past four months investigators, which included officials from the Federal Aviation Administration, the US Air Force , the National Aeronautics and Space Administration , the National Transportation Safety Board and several industry experts, scoured more than 3,000 channels of video and telemetry data covering a very brief timeline of events in order to establish what anomaly caused Falcon 9’s explosion in September.
The team concluded the failure was likely due to the accumulation of oxygen between the COPV liner and overwrap in a void or a buckle in the liner, leading to ignition and the subsequent failure of the COPV.
Falcon 9 uses COPVs to store cold helium which is used to maintain tank pressure, and each COPV consists of an aluminium inner liner with a carbon overwrap. The recovered COPVs showed buckles in their liners.
The accident investigation team worked systematically through an extensive fault tree analysis and concluded that one of the three composite overwrapped pressure vessels (COPVs) inside the second stage liquid oxygen (LOX) tank failed.
However, the team also identified several other credible causes for the COPV failure, all of which involve accumulation of super chilled LOX or SOX in buckles under the overwrap.
In response, SpaceX has put into place a number of corrective actions that address all credible causes and focus on changes which avoid the conditions that led to September’s explosion.
In the short term, this entails changing the COPV configuration to allow warmer temperature helium to be loaded, as well as returning helium loading operations to a prior flight proven configuration based on operations used in over 700 successful COPV loads.
In the long term, SpaceX will implement design changes to the COPVs to prevent buckles altogether, which will allow for faster loading operations.
The rocket that SpaceX plan to launch on January 8 will launch from Vandenberg’s Space Launch Complex 4E (SLC-4E) with the Iridium NEXT satellite aboard.

Consumption of Moringa oleifera leaves lowers postprandial blood pressure. - GreenMedInfo Summary
Consumption of Moringa oleifera Lam Leaves Lowers Postprandial Blood Pressure.
J Am Coll Nutr. 2019 May 7:1-9. Epub 2019 May 7. PMID: 31063434
Marie Chan Sun
OBJECTIVE: This clinical study monitored the effect of eating cooked Moringa oleifera leaves on the blood pressure (BP) of healthy participants in view of the perception that consumption of Moringa is associated with an increase in blood pressure, which is contradictory to the findings from the literature.
METHODS: A random sample of 41 healthy participants were enrolled in this prospective, placebo-controlled clinical study. Participants in the case study consumed 120 g of cooked M. oleifera leaves while the control group did not eat Moringa leaves. BP was measured at baseline before the meal and followed up at regular intervals over 24 hours for both groups. Baseline (T0) mean systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and postprandialfollow-up (T2-T24) were measured for both groups. Participants recorded their diet for a week and this led to an estimation of the total salt consumption per day.
RESULTS: A significant difference was observed between DBP at baseline and two hours postprandial (T2) for the case group (p = 0.013). Moreover, in the case group, despite high consumption of salt (7 g/d) during the week preceding the clinical study, there was a significant decrease in both the SBP and DBP. In the control group, participants with prior high consumption of salt (7 g/d) during the week had elevatedSBP and DBP.
CONCLUSIONS: These findings in human subjects indicated the lowering effect of Moringa oleifera leaves consumption on the 2 hours postprandial BP and showed a potential lowering effect on both SBP and DBP despite prior high consumption of salt (7 g/d).

Fine-Grained Structure Formation in 7475 Al Alloy during Hot Multidirectional Forging
Effect of strain rate on grain refinement was studied in multidirectional forging (MDF) of a coarse-grained 7475 Al alloy at 490oC under strain rates of 3 × 10-4 s-1 and 3 × 10-2 s-1. At a strain rate of 3 × 10-4 s-1, the stress – strain ( σ - ε) behavior shows significant work softening just after yielding and a steady-state flow at higher strains. The structural changes are characterized by development of deformation bands at early stages of deformation, followed by formation of a fine grain structure in high strain in the whole material. The volume fraction of new grains increases with strain and approaches a value of about 0.85 over a strain of 3. At a higher strain rate of 3 × 10-2 s-1, in contrast, a steady-state flow following small flow softening appears at a relatively low strain. New grains are formed during steady state flow along original grain boundaries and the volume fraction reaches below 0.2 even in high strain. The occurrence conditions and the mechanisms of grain refinement are discussed in detail.

According to a new research paper published by the analyst firm Forrester—for which researchers interviewed nearly 200 design teams and dozens of frontline workers in fields like retail—the enterprise software we use at work is slowing us down, and for all sorts of reasons, from individual components of the UI to the workflows that take us from one piece of software to another.
We connected with Andrew Hogan, Forrester’s principal analyst specializing in design, who led the research. He points out some of the biggest problems he sees in these tools and offers critical insight on how some companies are fixing enterprise UX.
Hogan discusses several issues with enterprise software, including slowness, unclear workflows, and — my favorite — bad labels. The article also covers some reasons why enterprise software tends to suck.
When I was first getting started with computers, in the late 1970s, user interfaces looked like this:
Getting the computer to do anything required learning arcane incantations and typing them into a command line. While some — such as LOAD and LIST — were common English words, others weren’t. Moving to a new computer often meant learning new sets of incantations.
As with all software, operating systems and applications based on command line interfaces implement conceptual models. However, these conceptual models are not obvious; the user must learn them either by trial and error — entering arbitrary (and potentially destructive) commands — or reading the manual. (An activity so despised it’s acquired a vulgar acronym: RTFM.) Studying manuals is time-consuming, cognitively taxing, and somewhat scary. This held back the potential of computers for a long time.
Last week I had an interesting conversation with a product management researcher. I told him why I think “product” is the wrong framing for many digital things and we discussed the concept of information environments. He asked a good question: Why call them environments instead of platforms? After all, “platform” is a well-understood concept in the context of UX design.
While the two terms share a similar intent (getting designers and stakeholders to think more systemically about the work to be done), there is an important difference between them: “platform” implies a technology-centric view of the system while “environment” implies a people-centric view. A platform is something you build upon. An environment is where you have experiences. This is a key distinction as we move to make user-centered design more systemically aware.
I realize the word “environment” brings with it connotations that may court controversy. This is not unintentional. We exist within environments. They host our activities. Our long-term survival hinges on the viability of our environments. It behooves us to develop an attitude of responsible stewardship towards them — whether they are made of stuff or of information.
Nobody comes to your information environment with the goal of “using” anything. They come because they want to buy an airline ticket, or transfer money from one account to another, or understand their medical bill.
The more specific you can be when referring to the people who will use the things you design, the easier it’ll be for you to empathize with them.
I’ve heard designers use these words as though they’re interchangeable. They’re not.
Consistency (n): 1) conformity in the application of something, typically that which is necessary for the sake of logic, accuracy, or fairness, 2) the way in which a substance, typically a liquid, holds together; thickness or viscosity
Coherence (n): 1) the quality of being logical and consistent, 2) the quality of forming a unified whole
Consistency can create coherence. But thoughtless, overly rigid consistency can create incoherence. For people to successfully derive meaning from an information environment, the environment must be coherent above all — even if that calls for some inconsistency.
In systems design there is a rule of thumb known as Gall’s law. It states:
“A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked. A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work. You have to start over with a working simple system.”
— John Gall
Information environments (websites, apps, etc.) are systems, so this law applies. (I’ve seen it in action.) We acknowledge this when we talk about starting with a minimum viable product (MVP).
One of the main challenges teams face in such projects is arriving at agreement at what constitutes the “minimal” feature set. Designers can — and should — help teams clarify the product vision upfront. This helps make the process less painful.
Once a clear vision is agreed upon, the designer’s role shifts to defender of the vision. This is necessary because there will always be forces pulling things away from the minimal feature set — often for valid reasons.
When the product is real and can be tested, it can (and should) evolve towards something more complex. But baking complexity into the first release is a costly mistake. (Note I didn’t say it “can be”. It’s guaranteed.)
If you design software, you need to know about placemaking. Why? Because the websites and apps you design will create the contexts in which people shop, bank, learn, gossip with their friends, store their photos, etc. While people will experience these things primarily through screens in phones, tablets, and computers, they actually perceive them as places they go to to do particular things.
Your users need to be able to make sense of these information environments so they can get around in them and find and do the things they came for, just as they do with physical environments such as towns and buildings. People need to form accurate mental models of these environments if they are to use them skillfully.
As a discipline, software user interface design has only been around for about sixty years. However, we’ve been designing places for much longer. There’s much we can learn from architecture and urban design to help us create more effective apps and websites. This article is a short case study in the design of a particular physical environment that has valuable lessons for those of us who design information environments: Disneyland.
This post is based on a speech I wrote for two back-to-back keynotes delivered in November 2016 at Interaction South America (Santiago, Chile) and the Italian IA Summit (Rome). The U.S. election was decided on the eve before I flew to Rome.
When architects tour Rome, one of the things they learn is that buildings can last a long time. When I was younger, I had the privilege of studying architecture for two semesters in the city, and one building stood out for me: the Basilica of San Clemente al Laterano, a beautiful church built during the middle ages. I was struck by the fact that the basilica had been built on top of an earlier building: a 4th century church which you can visit by descending to a basement under the main structure. That church, in turn, was also built atop an earlier building which was used by followers of the cult of Mithra, and which you can also visit today. The Basilica of San Clemente has been used as a place of worship for almost twenty centuries. When you visit it, you have a tangible experience of the evolution of Western spiritual practice over that span of time.
Buildings serve more than mere utilitarian purposes, such as keeping us dry from the rain or giving us a safe place to rest. They’re also physical manifestations of the political, social, and cultural environments that produced them. Buildings tell stories about who we are — and who we were — as a people. As an architect, I often think about the longevity and cultural import of buildings and how it contrasts with what I currently design: software. If buildings are among our longest-lived cultural artifacts, apps and websites are among our most ephemeral. Software is changing all the time, sometimes in big ways. For example, iOS 7 introduced a completely new visual design to the iPhone’s operating system. From one day to the next, the feeling of the entire information environment changed. Perfectly functional applications that didn’t immediately implement the new style suddenly looked old and out-of-place. This change was experienced by millions of people, literally overnight.

The UK’s Department for Transport (DfT) says it’s received an overwhelming reaction to its call for local authorities to share data during the coronavirus crisis.
After ITS (UK) led the appeal for members to share travel and parking data to help understand patterns during the lockdown, authorities and companies who work with them reacted within 24 hours with enough information to fulfil the DfT’s requirements.
Andy Graham of White Willow Consulting co-ordinated the effort for the DfT. He said, “Before I could finish reading an email, another three came in. I am so grateful to all who helped deliver what we needed, now we can work on getting a true understanding of new travel patterns in the country.”
The DfT’s chief scientist Professor Phil Blythe added, “ITS (UK)’s assistance was much appreciated. Their publicity helped us to quickly start working with a number of organisations and individuals who came forward to assist us. The industry really did step up to the mark.”
“This is yet another way that a membership body like ITS (UK) delivers for its members,” concluded Jennie Martin, secretary general of ITS (UK). “Having a range of organisations as members, from the DfT through local authorities, consultants and suppliers, to micro-SMEs like White Willow, means we can mobilise the right support at the right time, whatever the requirement. I am proud that in these toughest of days, ITS (UK) was called upon, and ITS (UK) delivered.”
With the Transport Technology Forum, the DfT is now busily analysing the data and supplying results to the scientists managing the Covid-19 response and says that while no more new data is currently required, they ask those supplying please continue your great work.

Dig the comping Andrew and really nice job on the melody!
I did have fun. A hard song in that it is very demanding of diatonic chord tone arps to sound authentic, and I have my more linear blues ball & chain.
I just opened my Real Book and there it was,
I would love it if everyone owned this book. It probably brought together more local bands and jam sessions than any other book in the history of the world.
Late? Dude I just woke up. Time to play.
Yes, you did hit some changes, but they were in a crosswalk and you left the scene to go and jam more and be carefree (you were) nice job.
What a nice version. What was your recipe for your tone? It sounds like a pedal steel tone. I really like it.
Haven't you used that line before? lol.
You navigated these waters well and even played in a couple rapids.
That's a nice soft acoustic tone, and lots of cool arps. Nice job
Played like a pro, great forward thinking. Nice authentic vibrato that you used just for the Django effect. Cool my man,
Again, I hear an almost pedal steel tone, wait now it's another tone,,, ok I get it, it's a pretty tone orgy. Wow, now vocals, I bow to you.
But sadly you said "come on darlin" and she didn't respond, she just drifted away.
Oh well, it happens, life.
I didn't bother plugging the amp in for this, just grabbed the nearest guitar and played one take.
It's my Harley Benton Junior, P90 with volume and tone both around 5, into my recording interface and Reaper. A touch of reverb (ReaVerberate:Mix Alive) and EQ (ReaEQ:Fender/Mesa).
this is the first time using this recently bought Yamaha acoustic. I had to shave down the saddle a bit. It would sound better with a set of 11s. I tried to make it sound like an old timey recording, but only half of that got realized, a fun track.
All Of Me
I think I butchered the track, did one take, lost chords after 20 seconds and continued to play. Later I listened to original track and I feel need to apologise to Django and everyone who will hear my playing.
You did good and here's why, this is a hard tune in that it's chord tone playing much more than what a big slice of blues and rock players are used to. That's the challenge with this tune, playing vertically, mostly arpeggios and triads of two octaves or more, in 16ths, ouch,
I heard your rock/blues foundation in your playing but you also quickly found chord tones to hit at vital spots, like breaking away from old and trying something new. And it worked. Put in another 100 hours playing vertically and it will forever change you,
You had some good and creative lines. Did you mic the Yamaha or go direct? It sounded fine.
Some real clever riffs and creative runs kept it interesting. Nicely done.
I mic'd it from about 2ft away.

Sensory integration refers to the processing, integration and organization of sensory information from the body and the environment . The inability to take in, organize and respond to sensory information in a meaningful & appropriate way referred to as sensory integration disorder or dysfunction. It can also be referred to as sensory processing disorder. The signals coming to your body might be too weak or too strong. Other times, your body might overreact and underreact to signals.
There are four identified categories of these difficulties . They include:
•Sensory Modulation Problems: This is when the brain either over responds or under responds to sensory information. For instance, fluorescent light may make such persons uncomfortable as they may find it to be too bright.
•Sensory discrimination and perceptual problems: In this case, the brain has difficulties in making sense of the information it receives. Such persons may appear clumsy.
•Vestibular bilateral functional problems: These occur as a result of issues with our vestibular senses. One may experience balance and co-ordination problems.
•Praxis problems: Praxis refers to new movements for our bodies. For example, a child walking. One may experience issues with these because information is not properly processed. Therefore, they experience difficulties with these tasks.
The causes of sensory processing disorders are not yet known. Some doctors believe that it is genetic and runs in families. They try to link other disorders like autism and sensory processing disorders to say that adults with autism will most likely have children with have the disorder. Some doctors believe SPD are just explanations for common behavior of children. Others say that children are just hypersensitive. However, there is hope for persons with SPD through sensory integration therapy.
Sensory integration therapy is used to help persons with SPD. It involves structured exposure to sensory input, movement, therapy, balance treatments, carefully designed and customized physical activities and accommodations. This is done by a qualified sensory integration practitioner who is an occupational therapist (OT). The OT may cooperate with the client and other concerned persons to create a sensory diet for the person with SPD. A sensory diet includes recommended suite of activities and accommodations which would give the individual the sensory input they need.

The invention relates to methods for synchronizing a segment counter having at least one pulse wire (Wiegand wire) sensor with a fine position sensor for the absolute detection of translational and/or rotational movements of a body, as well as to arrangements for performing said methods.
Pulse and Wiegand wires are ferromagnetic elements that—when formed as Wiegand sensors—each have a sensing coil wound around them. When the magnetic areas that are initially oriented irregularly in the ferromagnetic material—referred to as magnetic or Weiss domains—are exposed to external forces, they will align to form a single domain. Application of an external magnetic field of a certain direction and magnitude will cause this domain to flip, thus generating a voltage pulse in the sensing coil which can be picked up as an output signal. The kinetic energy of the elementary magnets flipping into alignment in the form of a continuous wave in the direction of the external field is sufficiently high to allow electrical energy from the coil associated with the Wiegand sensor not only to be used for a signal pulse but also for an electronic counter including a memory; cf. EP 0 724 712 B1 .
In ferromagnetic materials, the interaction of the magnetic moments of neighbouring atoms of a different magnetization direction is rather powerful which results in the orientation of such moments in the above mentioned Weiss domains which are separated from each other by transition layers referred to as Bloch walls. It is now possible to permanently create a single domain having a uniform magnetization direction, for example by mechanically stretching such a ferromagnetic element to form a wire. If such a domain is placed in an external magnetic field of a certain magnitude and direction, it will not flip in its entirety but its elementary magnets will flip from a certain starting position—preferably one end of a wire—in the direction of the external magnetic field, like a domino-effect. This leads to a re-orientation wave of finite speed within the ferromagnetic element. However, compared to the speed of the exciting magnet, this speed is high which is why this may be referred to as a “flipping” of this domain.
However, the triggering direction of this re-magnetization must not be confused with the actual re-magnetization direction. The triggering direction describes toward which magnetic pole the Weiss regions will “flip”. The re-magnetization direction, by contrast, leads to the polarity of the triggering pole of the exciting magnet (north or south) and thus to the magnetization direction of the pulse wire.
The quality of the counting pulses generated by such Wiegand sensors strongly depends on the magnetic field strength previously encountered. An optimum counting pulse can only be obtained if the saturation field strength was achieved in the opposite direction before triggering in one direction of the magnetic field. If this is not accomplished, operation may change from a bipolar to a unipolar mode in which counting pulses will only be able to release sufficient energy in one direction.
The states resulting from this are contradictory to the requirement of absolute position detection by means of position detectors including Wiegand sensors. This is because different possible movements—right/left, forward/backward—may have occurred between the last position detected by a counter associated with a position detector and the current position detected after its coming into operation again, which will distort the measurement result due to a non-optimal counting pulse. Only a further movement of the permanent magnet which generates the magnetic field, which will result in a counting pulse being triggered, will terminate this uncertainty. However, it is not always possible to force such a movement.
Simple segment counters can work flawlessly with this uncertainty which may be of the order of up to two segments. Coupling such a segment counter with a fine position encoder is a different matter, however. In this case, the periodically occurring fine position value must be precisely allocated to a segment in order to ensure a consistent total position value. For this purpose, precise knowledge of the motion sequence between the last event detected by the segment counter and the current position is imperative.
It is for example disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 7,559,012 B2 to use two Wiegand sensors for designing a direction-independent counter which—in combination with an associated logic—will correct those counting pulses that are non-optimal or missing as a result of the change of direction of the exciting magnetic field. However, such a correction can only be performed after the second counting pulse generated after the missing counting pulse. If the body to be monitored stops moving before this second counting pulse was triggered, though, this will make such a correction impossible and the counting result will still be incorrect or imprecise.
It is the object of the invention to remedy this by providing a novel space- and cost-saving method for correctly synchronizing the values of a Wiegand sensor-based segment counter with the values of a fine position encoder and by providing means for performing this method.
Based on the consideration that even if the last generated pulse had been too weak for a count, the exciting magnet was still run past the Wiegand sensor in such a way since the last counted pulse for the current position that the Wiegand sensor was biased for a new pulse, with the magnetization direction of this bias depending on the path taken by the exciting magnet, the aforementioned object is accomplished according to the present invention in that the information required for an absolute synchronization of the values is extracted from the present magnetization direction of the Wiegand sensor pulse wire which was generated by the last movement.
Such information on the motion history of the magnet that is firmly coupled to the body to be monitored which is required, if not sufficient, for resolving the ambiguity of the counting process is thus contained in the magnetization direction of the pulse wire. This is because the Wiegand sensor pulse wire has magnetic domains which will store the last bias direction. Exploiting the knowledge of this magnetization direction allows a correct and consistent allocation of the rotations and/or segments counted by the position sensing detector. As a result, use of the segment encoder with a fine position encoder will always allow an absolute total position value to be formed from the counting values of the Wiegand sensor and the position values of the fine position sensor. A table not explicitly described herein lists the conditions under which a rotation and/or a segment must be added to or deducted from the Wiegand sensor values stored in a counter.
Error-free conversion of the counting value of the segment counter and of the position value of the fine position encoder so as to obtain a total position value is accomplished in that one piece of the information absolutely required for absolute synchronization is obtained from the magnetization direction of said at least one pulse wire, that the last value of the segment counter is available from the memory and that the current≦half segment is known from the fine position encoder.
According to another feature of the invention, the magnetization direction of the pulse wire can be determined by supplying a defined current to one of the inductor coils surrounding the pulse wire, which will cause the elementary magnets of the pulse wire to flip so that the signal triggered in the respective inductor coil as a function of the magnetization direction of the pulse wire can then be supplied to the evaluation electronics for further processing.
According to another feature of the invention, the magnetization direction characterizing each pulse wire is measured by at least one magnetic field sensitive probe allocated to it.
An arrangement for performing the method according to the invention is characterized according to the invention by a segment counter which has at least one pulse wire sensor, by a position sensor for the fine resolution of the segments as well as by evaluation electronics for supplying current, detecting pulses and forming the total position value.
Advantageous embodiments of the invention are defined in the subclaims.
Further advantages, features and possible applications of the present invention will become obvious from the description which follows, in combination with the embodiments illustrated in the drawings.
Throughout the description, claims and the drawings, such terms and associated reference numerals will be used as are listed in the list of reference numerals below. In the drawings,
To facilitate understanding of the invention,
As is shown in
In both versions, a positive pulse at T2 is the last detected and evaluated pulse of Ua, and a negative pulse at T6 is the last detected and evaluated pulse of Ub. The difference in both versions is the magnetic bias of the Wiegand wire Wg at T5, which is known however and used according to the invention. The above mentioned movements diagrams, for the case present here of the final position shown in
For evaluating the counting signals of the Wiegand sensors Ws1/Ws2 which form a segment counter and the position values of a fine position encoder 21 for the formation of the respective total position value of a body being moved—i.e. rotated here, for the sake of simplicity—that are connected to the axis of rotation 20 of the body to be monitored, the arrangement shown as a block diagram in
For this purpose, the signal lines of the Wiegand sensors Ws1/Ws2 are connected to a counter logic 3 and a synchronization logic 7 which is fed by a table 6, via signal evaluation circuits 4 and 5. Current is supplied to the inductor coils Es1/Es2 of both Wiegand sensors that are farther away from the wire by means of the current generators 9, 10.
Allocated to the counter logic 3 is a non-volatile memory 1 as well as the correction logic 8 and a logic 11 for linking the counter signals of the Wiegand sensors Ws1/Ws2 and the fine position encoder 21. As is known, the above mentioned circuit elements are powered by the intrinsic energy source 2 and/or by an external energy source 13. The determined total position value can then be picked up via an interface 12. A capacitor C is used to store the energy generated by the Wiegand sensors.

In 1993, when I was 11 years old, I made my mother drop me off at the Clairidge Theater in Montclair, New Jersey – the only “independent” movie house in north Jersey – so I could see Woody Allen’s Manhattan Murder Mystery. I was the youngest person in the theater by 40 years but I remember laughing at all the same stuff those older folks did, feeling like I was part of a private joke. That day, “the movie theater experience” hooked me. I wanted nothing else (until I discovered women, and booze).
I saw 30 movies in theaters that year. Schindler’s List, The Fugitive and Philadelphia at the Lincoln Cinema in Kearny. The Remains of the Day at the Franklin in Nutley. In the Name of the Father at the Williams in Rutherford. What’s Eating Gilbert Grape and In the Line of Fire at the $2 second-run house behind the Holiday Inn on Route 46. Dave at the mutiplex by Willowbrook Mall in Wayne.
In 1997, at 15, I started taking the train into the city. 30 became triple digits easily, thanks to the Angelika Film Center, one of my true heavens on earth. Not a year has gone by since where I haven’t eclipsed the 100 mark. In college, in that same city, I used to spend every Friday at the Loews by Lincoln Center. I’d use Wednesday and Thursday to map out my attack plan. First movie around 11:00 AM. Sneak into a second one around 1:30 PM. Sneak into a third around 4:00 PM.
In late February 2020, I got a Regal Cinemas pass. $20 a month. Unlimited movies. I’d found that as I’d gotten older I was veering more and more towards the smaller, art house fare and lost sight of the Hollywood stuff. This would ensure that I not only saw the Marvel movies but that I saw them on the big screen as intended. (I very famously, at least in our house, watched that 5-hour Avengers: Endgame picture on an airplane.)
In March 2020, Covid happened. Until about a month ago, I’d seen 10 of the movies of 2020. Watching a movie on my couch just didn’t do it for me. I’ve been trying to play catch-up but I’m not doing particularly well. Here are thoughts on the films of the year.
#3. What Did Jack Do?
In David Lynch’s short film for Netflix, the filmmaker interrogates a monkey about criminal activity. It might be the strangest thing I’ve ever seen, and I once saw two Greek men end a shouting match in Astoria by throwing fish at each other. I loved every second of that, and this film.
