Bad Impulse had its premiere on February 29, 2020 at the Golden State Film Festival. This horror movie tells us about the “aftermath of a traumatic event, a suburban husband and father buys a cutting edge home security system, only to find that it slowly destroys that which he most wants to protect.” The quote was taken directly from director and producer Michelle Danner, who also works as an acting coach in the Los Angeles area.
Danner talked about the movie, which stars Sonya Walger and Paul Sorvine, with us at Fiction Horizon, and we’ve had the pleasure of finding out some interesting details about the movie but also Mrs. Danner’s other projects and plans; she also plays a smaller role in Bad Impulse, that of Helen, “a figure of authority and (…) a villain.”
The film has already been released for the public and is available on Demand and on iTunes, Amazon, GooglePlay and Microsoft. As part of the film’s promotion, we sat down with Michelle Danner for a short interview and we had a blast. Mrs. Danner talked about her perception of the movie and how she got involved with the project, as well as her impressions of the movie and her role. She also talked about her next project, the thriller movie The Runner, which is also going to be available very soon and in which Danner plays the role of Rita.
We managed to find out a lot of interesting details about these two movies, some inside information from the filming and some exclusive information that are related to Mrs. Danner’s future career. Here’s a transcript of the whole interview for you to enjoy!
Also, we had a chance to watch Bad Impulse, so check out our movie review.
1. Tell me about your new movie Bad Impulse
Bad Impulse is a very entertaining psychological thriller with some horror and supernatural elements. In the aftermath of a traumatic event, a suburban husband and father buys a cutting edge home security system, only to find that it slowly destroys that which he most wants to protect. It’s available on Demand and on iTunes, Amazon, GooglePlay and Microsoft.
2. How did you get involved with the project?
My friend Jason Chase-Tyrrell wrote this wonderful screenplay and we did a reading of it and I was hooked and grateful that he trusted me with his baby. I was lucky enough to get a fantastic cast of actors to work on it, Grant Bowler, Sonya Walger, James Landry-Hebert, Stephanie Cayo, Dan Lauria and Paul Sorvino.
3. What was the reception for Bad Impulse?
I attended some film festival right before the pandemic and it was thrilling to watch it with an audience. It seemed that people were scared, on the edge of their seats, highly entertained, so I felt like I did my job. We had a great reception everywhere we went and won some awards, the latest screening was at the chinese theater with the golden state film festival and we won the audience favorite award there.
4. Can you tell us how Bad Impulse ties into your career?
I always wanted to have a career that was varied with directing different genres of movies. I don’t think people would expect me to direct something that starts off with such an edgy violent scene so I challenged myself to do something that I wouldn’t normally do. My favorite genre is romcom but I love thrillers and because of having directed Bad Impulse I got other offers for the same genre. I think it’s important to show people that you can do it. I connect with timely stories that touch you deeply.
5. Can you tell us about your role, Helen? Is it hard to direct and also star in the movie?
Helen was a figure of authority and I was attracted to playing a villain. I think villains are great fun. It wasn’t very difficult to act and direct because I had a small part but pivotal because no part in a movie is small. I also have great collaborators and a support system on set with my producers and DP.
6. What do you think about the movie?
I love it. Of course when you’re a filmmaker watching your work you’re always thinking what else you could have done but I know I did the best I could in the midst of the LA fires and everyone’s schedules and the constraints of having to shoot an independent movie with all the challenges that go with it.
7. How was the atmosphere on the set? Was the production smooth or did you have some issues? Did the current pandemic influence the filming in any way, or have you managed to finish it before?
The movie was finished before the pandemic, we actually had a premiere right before. The movie came out in December 2020 during the pandemic. The first 3 days of principal photography I had lost my voice, so I was whispering and it infused a calmness because everyone started speaking softly. At one point we had to evacuate because of the fires in LA but we got to shoot a beautiful house in Malibu that added great production value.
8. Can you let us know more about your upcoming thriller movie The Runner?
I worked on the Runner with a lot of the same people as with Bad Impulse, it’s great to work with people that you have a shorthand with, same writer, same costume and production designer. I came up with the story as I was watching a news report late at night that brought me to tears about teens that are forced to wear a wire by the police to bring down drug lords. I wrote a treatment and gave it to Jason Chase-Tyrrell, he wrote the screenplay, we collaborated really well, he was on set a lot, which I loved.
9. Have you had more problems filming this movie during the pandemic?
I was lucky enough to finish principal photography right before the lockdown, we figuratively got into the elevator as the doors closed. The thing that was incredible was that for the first time I was relaxed during the editing process. I told myself that I had all the time in the world and I did because we couldn’t leave the house. It gave me the luxury of really taking my time.
10. You again have an acting role in the movie, this time Rita. Can you let us know more about her?
This one was a really short scene, Rita is the clerk in the convenience store, it was really just fun to step in front of the camera for a few hours and have a cameo.
11. What can you reveal to us about the upcoming The Runner?
I was teaching a class one night and all the lights went out in santa monica and there were 3 scenes left and I told the students to turn on their flashlights and this students of mine, Edouard Philipponnat did his scene and it sent chills down my spine and I thought we was perfect for the movie I’m developing, I gave him the script and the rest is history. What is great about this story is that because of this movie, he got a big agent in hollywood and this summer he was filming the new Ridley Scott movie opposite lady gaga
12. Will there be a trailer for The Runner and when can we expect it?
Yes, the trailer is available on Youtube
13. Can you let us know when will we see the wide release of The Runner?
I think it will probably be released at the beginning of next year, we have several offers from distributors for theatrical release. Of course, every filmmaker wants to see their movie on the big screen. It’s currently playing at film festivals all over the US and worldwide and coming up including Thriller/Suspense Festival, Catalina Film Festival on September 18th, Silicon Beach Film Festival at the Chinese Theater on October 2nd.
14. Do you think the pandemic will influence the box office success of The Runner, for better or worse? (it will probably have less competition, but, of course, fewer people will be going to cinemas)?
I don’t know. I was expecting that there would be a lack of content but the truth is, we are overwhelmed with wonderful things to watch. I don’t think there will be a drought of content, not only features but also the golden age of TV and international movies from all over the world are available to devour. But people are also ready to go back to the movie theaters and watch on the big screen.
15. This is currently a hot topic, so do you think it would be better for the movie to go straight to one of the streaming services?
I think it’s great to have the option to see it on the big screen. I know for myself, everything I see in the theater surrounded by people that either laughed, screamed in fear or cried, it raised the experience of watching great stories.
16. What can you tell us about your plans for the future?
I am very excited to be working on 2 comedies, The Italians and Starstruck. This is exactly what is needed after this crazy time. The Italians about a typical Italian-American family meets their sons new girlfriend. And Starstruck is about a slick ad exec gets his perfect world turned upside down when he’s forced to live his life through his horoscope. Lots of Laughs
17. I see you like acting in the movies you direct, and I know there are other directors/actors out there, but can you let us know more about it. Why do you do it, is it harder to do both roles, how do others on the set think about it, and which one is your favorite?
It’s absolutely harder to act in your own movies but many directors have done it and I think the key is to be really well prepared and to have a strong vision. If you haven’t proven yourself already it’s possible that you will get pushback from other actors because they feel they don’t have your unde=ivided attention and they might be right. It really all depends who you are surrounded with and you have to have a good reason for directing and acting at the same time.

According to Kristin Gonzalez’s campaign website, the candidate for New York State Senate District 17, is a “proud daughter of an immigrant family, Queens native, community organizer, and tech worker.”
Gonzalez is also a socialist and proud member of the Democratic Socialists of America.
However, when she is not spouting socialist drivel, Gonzalez works for American Express as a product manager. Let that sink in for a second. A self-avowed socialist working for credit card giant AmEx.
Interestingly, since she threw her hat in the ring for New York’s newly redistricted State Senate seat, Gonzalez has scrubbed any and all mentions of her day job at American Express. Notice how she calls herself a “tech worker” on her campaign website instead of admitting she works for a credit card company.
So, what policy positions does the AmEx socialist hold?
First, Gonzalez wants to “reimagine housing,” or, as she describes, “People shouldn’t have to struggle to keep a roof over their head while landlords get rich by raising rents. We must guarantee housing as a human right.”
Second, she writes we must “renew Queens” because, “People shouldn’t have to breathe poisoned air or die in flooded basements while fossil fuel companies make billions killing our planet. We must build publicly-owned renewable energy.
Third, she says we have to “restore health care” because, “People shouldn’t have to decide between a trip to the emergency room and putting food on the table. We must provide single-payer health care in New York State.”
Of course, Gonzalez fails to mention how her socialist schemes would be funded. Like most socialists, she loves talking about expanding the size and scope of government, but conveniently fails to mention that her socialist Shangri-La would require a litany of new taxes, fees, and the like.
For a more in-depth dive into the mindset of Gonzalez, a recent interview she conducted with Greenpointers is rather illuminating.
Take, for example, her defense of her socialist credentials in a district that is not too keen on living under socialism.
Greenpointers: “You identify as a democratic socialist. Can you talk about what that means to you and, how can the group organize so that the word ‘socialism’ is accessible to everyone? In Greenpoint, we have a lot of Eastern European immigrants for whom ‘socialism’ has an inherently negative connotation.”
Gonzalez: “That’s totally fair, and I think that we are still doing that legwork as democratic socialists, to really help build a class consciousness. Ultimately, what we’re fighting for with DSA priorities is the ability for working-class families to live a dignified life. We believe that everyone should have access to baseline rights and resources. That includes things like housing as a human right. We live in a city where rents are skyrocketing and consistently pushing people out of their homes. Now more than ever after years of pandemic, how can we possibly still be arguing as to whether or not people have the right to live in their homes! A Green New Deal, we acknowledge that we’re out of time in needing to act on climate – we want to secure a green future and that the people who are most hurt by climate crises are those who are most vulnerable, marginalized, working-class Black and brown communities. Same with healthcare and having food security. People do oftentimes focus on a label, but when you really focus on the values and what we’re fighting for – I’ve had a lot of conversations with folks who definitely would not identify as a DSA member, but once they hear about our platform, and things are public safety and wanting to increase mental health resources, they actually do very much agree with the baseline of the platform.
And what being a democratic socialist means to me, it’s about developing public power and accountability – democratically run things. I mentioned the land trust – how can we have a stake in owning and operating our own things, and investments in public schools, in our public green infrastructure, public housing, and it really is about care – how do we expand the social safety net? How do we do so in a way that pushes back on these systems?
The key to changing these systems for me wasn’t Washington DC. It wasn’t in City Hall or Morningside Heights. The key to changing these systems is right here with working-class communities of Queens, building a multi-racial working-class movement in which we push back on capitalist, racist, sexist systems that exploit us. Capitalism is dependent on all of those things intersecting.”
Funny how Gonzalez, a Hispanic woman with a cushy job at uber-capitalist AmEx, has such animus toward capitalism. One would assume that Gonzalez, who literally lives the high life (she currently resides in a 58-story luxurious high rise in Long Island City) would be grateful for the opportunities that capitalism has afforded her. After all, if Gonzalez really is a true believer in socialism, why doesn’t she just move to Venezuela or Cuba?
Oh, maybe because then she wouldn’t be able to lecture us about the splendor of socialism while she receives large paychecks from a financial company that doesn’t exactly align with her socialist dogma.

Exodus 29: The Ordination of Priests and Its Prophetic Connection to Jesus
In Exodus 29, we witness the solemn ordination of Aaron and his sons as priests. While the chapter doesn’t explicitly mention Jesus, the entire ordination ceremony and its components hold profound Messianic significance. In this article, we delve into the rich symbolism of Exodus 29, unveiling its connections to Jesus as our ultimate High Priest and Redeemer.
Exodus 29 outlines the elaborate process of ordaining Aaron and his sons as priests, marking the beginning of the priestly ministry in Israel. Although the chapter doesn’t explicitly mention Jesus, it is teeming with Messianic symbolism that underscores His role as the ultimate High Priest and Redeemer.
- Consecration and Anointing: The priests underwent an extensive consecration process, involving washing, clothing, and anointing with oil. This signifies Jesus’ perfect consecration for His redemptive mission, setting Him apart as the sinless Lamb of God.
- Sacrificial Atonement: A bull was sacrificed as a sin offering, and its blood was applied to the horns of the altar. This foreshadows Jesus’ sacrificial death on the cross, His blood atoning for our sins, and providing forgiveness and reconciliation with God.
- Blood of the Covenant: The blood of the sacrificed bull was sprinkled on Aaron and his sons, symbolizing the establishment of a covenant between God and the priests. Jesus inaugurated the New Covenant through His blood, granting us eternal forgiveness and access to God.
- Access to God: The ordination ceremony granted the priests access to the Holy of Holies, representing God’s presence. Jesus, as our High Priest, provides believers with direct access to God. He is our mediator and advocate before the Father.
- Intercession: The priests were ordained to intercede on behalf of the people, offering sacrifices and prayers. Jesus fulfills this role perfectly as our intercessor, continually praying for us and presenting our needs before God.
- Holiness and Perfection: The elaborate rituals and garments underscored the priests’ need for holiness. Jesus, as the sinless High Priest, imparts His righteousness to us, making us holy in God’s sight.
- Redemption and Salvation: The entire ordination process pointed to the redemption and salvation of God’s people. Jesus is the ultimate Redeemer who offers eternal salvation through His sacrifice.
In conclusion, Exodus 29, while not explicitly mentioning Jesus, is laden with prophetic symbolism that illuminates His role as the ultimate High Priest and Redeemer. The consecration, atonement, access to God, and intercession portrayed in this chapter find their fulfillment in Jesus Christ. Through His sacrificial death and mediation, He grants us forgiveness, access to God, and eternal salvation, embodying the true essence of the priesthood.

Please welcome Daniel José Older to The Qwillery. Midnight Taxi Tango, the 2nd Bone Street Rumba novel, was published on January 5th by Roc.
TQ: Welcome to The Qwillery. When and why did you start writing?
Daniel: 2009 I started writing novels. Before that it was music, some essays and short stories, scripts, but nothing focused. It was time to go all in with one project: that became Shadowshaper. Then the Bone Street Rumba developed as that was moving through the gears of publishing.
TQ: Are you a plotter, a pantser or a hybrid?
Daniel: I tend to just start writing and let it take shape as I go. I'll have a vague sense of direction that clarifies along the way. Usually the end starts taking shape around the midpoint.
TQ: What is the most challenging thing for you about writing?
Daniel: Just staying on it during those low moments when I don't really feel like it. Mostly, I love the process though, from start to finish.
TQ: What has influenced/influences your writing?
Daniel: I love reading, and a lot of writers - Junot Díaz, Octavia Butler, Walter Mosley, Tananarive Due, Nalo Hopkinson, to name a few - have influenced me a lot. I also take a lot of inspiration from conversations on the street, with friends, the way we talk to each other in casual ways. And finally: music!
TQ: Describe Midnight Taxi Tango in 140 characters or less.
Daniel: A teenager, a half-dead guy and an unstoppable assassin in her fifties take on a cult of evil cockroach dudes. Hilarity and ickiness ensues.
TQ: Tell us something about Midnight Taxi Tango that is not found in the book description.
Daniel: Behind the facade of escapades, knife-fights and daring rescues, deep down it's about how different people deal with grief.
TQ: What sort of research did you do for Midnight Taxi Tango?
Daniel: I researched the history of tango and the biology of cockroaches...that's about it. Oh and a few quick checks on some gun stuff and ballet.
TQ: What inspired you to write Bone Street Rumba series? What appeals to you about writing Urban Fantasy?
Daniel: I love fantasy and I've always lived in cities, so putting them together makes so much sense! And I love seeing true representations of the city, ones I recognize, in literature. Ultimately, it's just a lot of fun to re-imagine Brooklyn with all these teeming supernatural underworlds at play.
TQ: In the Bone Street Rumba series so far who was the easiest character to write and why? The hardest and why?
Daniel: Easiest is probably Carlos or Kia - both their voices just come very naturally to me. Kia really started as a very minor character in Half-Resurrection Blues and took over the page, demanded to have more of a story, so I listened. Hardest...maybe Mama Esther? She's an entity that's made up a few different spirits, so it's a little complicated thinking through how they come together to form a unified whole.
TQ: Which question about Midnight Taxi Tango or the Bone Street Rumba do you wish someone would ask? Ask it and answer it!
Daniel: You already asked 'em!
TQ: Give us one or two favorite non-spoilery quotes from Midnight Taxi Tango.
Daniel: The entirety of Chapter 35: "Oh, this mothafucka." - Kia
TQ: What's next?
Daniel: The third Bone Street book, Battle Hill Bolero is scheduled to come out January 2017 and I'll be rereleasing a deluxe edition of Salsa Nocturna, which chronologically comes after Midnight Taxi Tango, later this year, with new stories and an essay.
TQ: Thank you for joining us at The Qwillery.
Daniel: Thank you for having me!

The incidents in the park have put Kia on edge. When she first met Carlos, he was the weird guy who came to Baba Eddie’s botánica, where she worked. But the closer they’ve gotten, the more she’s seeing the world from Carlos’s point of view. In fact, she’s starting to see ghosts.

Old-Fashioned Quotes (displaying: 1 - 30 of 136 quotes )
All these people talk so eloquently about getting back to good old-fashioned values. Well, as an old poop I can remember back to when we had those old-fashioned values, and I say let's get back to the good old-fashioned First Amendment of the good old-fashioned Constitution of the United States -- and to hell with the censors! Give me knowledge or give me death!
I'm against the picture of the artist as a starry-eyed visionary not really in control or knowing what he does. I'd almost prefer the word 'craftsman'. He's like one of those old-fashioned ship builders who conceived the build of the boat in their mind and after that touched every single piece that went into the boat.
Lord Peter's library was one of the most delightful bachelor rooms in London. Its scheme was black and primrose; its walls were lined with rare editions, and its chairs and Chesterfield sofa suggested the embraces of the houris. In one corner stood a black baby grand, a wood fire leaped on a wide old-fashioned hearth, and the Svres vases on the chimneypiece were filled with ruddy and gold chrysanthemums. To the eyes of the young man who was ushered in from the raw November fog it seemed not only rare and unattainable, but friendly and familiar, like a colourful and gilded paradise in a medival painting
I tell you, the old-fashioned doctor who treated all diseases has completely disappeared, now there are only specialists, and they advertise all the time in the newspapers. If your nose hurts, they send you to Paris: there's a European specialist there, he treats noses. You go to Paris, he examines your nose: I can treat only your right nostril, he says, I don't treat left nostrils, it's not my specialty, but after me, go to Vienna, there's a separate specialist there who will finish treating your left nostril.
Let us begin this letter, this prelude to an encounter, formally, as a declaration, in the old-fashioned way: I love you. You do not know me (although you have seen me, smiled at me). I know you (although not so well as I would like. I want to be there when your eyes flutter open in the morning, and you see me, and you smile. Surely this would be paradise enough?). So I do declare myself to you now, with pen set to paper. I declare it again: I love you.
Liberal, shmiberal. That should be a new word. Shmiberal: one who is assumed liberal, just because he's a professional whiner in the newspaper. If you'll read the subtext for many of those old strips, you'll find the heart of an old-fashioned Libertarian. And I'd be a Libertarian, if they weren't all a bunch of tax-dodging professional whiners.
The village lay in the hollow, and climbed, with very prosaic houses, the other side. Village architecture does not flourish in Scotland. The blue slates and the grey stone are sworn foes to the picturesque; and though I do not, for my own part, dislike the interior of an old-fashioned pewed and galleried church, with its little family settlements on all sides, the square box outside, with its bit of a spire like a handle to lift it by, is not an improvement to the landscape. Still, a cluster of houses on differing elevations - with scraps of garden coming in between, a hedgerow with clothes laid out to dry, the opening of a street with its rural sociability, the women at their doors, the slow waggon lumbering along - gives a centre to the landscape. It was cheerful to look at, and convenient in a hundred ways. ("The Open Door")
While he writes, I feel as if he is drawing me; or not drawing me, drawing on me - drawing on my skin - not with the pencil he is using, but with an old-fashioned goose pen, and not with the quill end but with the feather end. As if hundreds of butterflies have settled all over my face, and are softly opening and closing their wings.
Most of the members of the convent were old-fashioned Satanists, like their parents and grandparents before them. They'd been brought up to it, and weren't, when you got right down to it, particularly evil. Human beings mostly aren't. They just get carried away by new ideas, like dressing up in jackboots and shooting people, or dressing up in white sheets and lynching people, or dressing up in tie-dye jeans and playing guitars at people. Offer people a new creed with a costume and their hearts and minds will follow. Anyway, being brought up as a Satanist tended to take the edge off it. It was something you did on Saturday nights. And the rest of the time you simply got on with life as best you could, just like everyone else.
Sal, straight, no matter where I live, my trunk's always sticking out from under the bed, I'm ready to leave or get thrown out. I've decided to leave everything out of my hands. You've seen me try and break my ass to make it and you know that it doesn't matter and we know time? how to slow it up and walk and dig and just old-fashioned spade kicks, what other kicks are there? We know.
Her lips are slightly parted: she, whose lips are usually pressed together with the daily disapprovals of the accountants' office where she has worked continually, except for the months of illness, since she was 18, that is to say, for 16 years and some months. Her lips, when she does not speak or eat, are normally pressed together like the ruled line of a balance sheet, marked straight with her old-fashioned lipstick, a final and judjing mouth, a precision instrument.
Truth and fact are old-fashioned and out-of-date, my friends, fit only for the dull and vulgar to live by. Appearance, not reality, is what the clever dog grasps at in these clever days. We spurn the dull-brown solid earth; we build our lives and homes in the fair-seeming rainbow-land of shadow and chimera.
When I removed into the country, it was to occupy an old-fashioned farm-house, which had no piazza - a deficiency the more regretted, because not only did I like piazzas, as somehow combining the coziness of in-doors with the freedom of out-doors, and it is so pleasant to inspect your thermometer there, but the country round about was such a picture, that in berry time no boy climbs hill or crosses vale without coming upon easels planted in every nook, and sunburnt painters painting there.
In his Petersburg world people were divided into two quite opposite sorts. One--the inferior sort: the paltry, stupid, and, above all, ridiculous people who believe that a husband should live with the one wife to whom he is married, that a girl should be pure, a woman modest, and a man, manly, self controlled and firm; that one should bring up one's children to earn their living, should pay one's debts, and other nonsense of the kind. These were the old-fashioned and ridiculous people. But there was another sort of people: the real people to which all his set belonged, who had above all to be well-bred, generous, bold, gay, and to abandon themselves unblushingly to all their passions and laugh at everything else.
Big-shot town, small-shot town, jet-propelled old-fashioned town, by old-world hands with new-world tools built into a place whose heartbeat carries farther than its shout, whose whispering in the night sounds less hollow than its roistering noontime laugh: they have builded a heavy-shouldered laughter here who went to work too young.
Entering that gable-ended Spouter-Inn, you found yourself in a wide, low, straggling entry with old-fashioned wainscots, reminding one of the bulwarks of some condemned old craft. On one side hung a very large oil painting so thoroughly besmoked, and every way defaced, that in the unequal crosslights by which you viewed it, it was only by diligent study and a series of systematic visits to it, and careful inquiry of the neighbors, that you could any way arrive at an understanding of its purpose. Such unaccountable masses of shades and shadows, that at first you almost thought some ambitious young artist, in the time of the New England hags, had endeavored to delineate chaos bewitched. But by dint of much and earnest contemplation, and oft repeated ponderings, and especially by throwing open the little window towards the back of the entry, you at last come to the conclusion that such an idea, however wild, might not be altogether unwarranted.
Well, now there is a very excellent, necessary, and womanly accomplishment that my girl should not be without, for it is a help to rich and poor, and the comfort of families depends upon it. This fine talent is neglected nowadays and considered old-fashioned, which is a sad mistake and one that I don't mean to make in bringing up my girl. It should be part of every girl's eductation, and I know of a most accomplished lady who will teach you in the best and pleasantest manner."Oh, what is it?" cried Rose eagerly, charmed to be met in this helpful and cordial way."Housekeeping!"Is that an accomplsihment?" asked Rose, while her face fell, for she had indulged in all sorts of vague, delightful daydreams.
Claudia knew that she could never pull off the old-fashioned kind of running away. That is, running away in the heat of anger with a knapsack on her pack. She didn't like discomfort; even picnics were untidy and inconvenient: all those insects and the sun melting the icing on the cupcakes. Therefore, she decided that her leaving home would not be just running from somewhere but would be running to somewhere.
For this quiet, unprepossessing, passive man who has no garden in front of his subsidised flat, books are like flowers. He loves to line them up on the shelf in multicoloured rows: he watches over each of them with an old-fashioned gardener's delight, holds them like fragile objects in his thin, bloodless hands.

If A Picture Paints a Thousand Words, Does A Painting Really Need a Name?
As if we artists don't sweat enough over the actual execution of a painting, we sometimes drive ourselves crazy trying to come up with the perfect name. Sometimes paintings name themselves, even before we start them; other times we so much want the perfect name, we struggle! I find in many cases I end up falling short. A great title can really make a painting, I think - but sometimes I'm also aware the viewer might not be in the same headspace as me, so how much does it really matter?
This is one of those paintings I haven't really named yet. The working title was "Bear Now" just because that's the name of the filly in it. Thoughts? I love the mornings at the track (though I admit I don't necessarily miss getting up at 3:30am to go to work), so I'm always looking for something that will exemplify that feeling - the quiet contrast to the tension of afternoon racing, the hope that pervades of winning that next race, big or small. Bear Now was prepping for a start in the Breeders' Cup Distaff here, one of the pinnacles of the game. I've already called a painting "Dreaming Big" (it was of my own Monster, no less!) or I might be inclined to call this something along the lines of "Dream Big or Go Home!" It's what makes you get out of bed at such a ridiculous hour - this is horse racing, and anything can happen. Might as well happen to you, right?

Online delivery service Grubhub (GRUB) has been purchased by Netherlands-based Just Eat Takeaway.com (JTKWY -5.14%) and will be leaving U.S. stock indexes as a result. The resulting shuffle will affect the placement of Callaway Golf (MODG 1.23%) as well as Apollo Medical Holdings (AMEH 0.35%), and the stocks are moving today because of it. At 11:45 a.m. EDT, Callaway Golf shares were down about 3%, but ApolloMed stock had jumped almost 17%.
On June 15, Callaway Golf will replace Grubhub in the S&P MidCap 400 index, while healthcare management company ApolloMed will join the S&P SmallCap 600.
ApolloMed provides its solutions to physicians, health plans, hospitals, and other health providers using its technology and healthcare model. The company aims to maximize efficiency and quality of care while reducing unnecessary hospital admissions, re-admissions, and emergency room visits. The California-based $2 billion company has been growing, having recently acquired Sun Clinical Labs to integrate its value-based care delivery platform.
The larger Callaway Golf, which has a market cap of about $6.5 billion, has also been expanding recently. It completed its merger with golf entertainment and experience company Topgolf in March 2021. In its first-quarter 2021 financial update, Callaway said Topgolf has been exceeding expectations because its business recovered from pandemic impacts sooner than anticipated. Callaway raised guidance for investors in its May release, saying it now expects 2021 results from the legacy Callaway business and the Topgolf business will each exceed 2019 levels. The company previously didn't expect to reach that level by the end of 2021.

Column: Stem absenteeism with parents as partners
Asthma is the single largest cause of student absenteeism, writes JoBeth Allen, Professor Emeritus in the Department of Language and Literacy Education, in a recent Get Schooled blog on ajc.com.
Asthma, high levels of lead, uncorrected vision problems and untreated cavities are all reasons why children stay home from school, according to a study by the Economic Policy Institute. In her column, Allen recalls what one school district in California did to proactively stem the high tide of absenteeism—using a combination of parent volunteers and community partners to get services to kids who needed them.
As a result, unexcused absences dropped by 72 percent during the program's first year.

The hospital food is known to be bland so whenever we’re confined in the hospital or if we are going to have check-ups, it seems that you are on diet because you don’t enjoy the food.
Most of the time we eat somewhere before going to hospital but last month when my son had check-up at pedia-dentist, we decided to eat in the hospital just to make sure that we won’t be late.
There are few options in Asian Hospital food court so I was surprised to see The Cafeteria by Chef Florabel, hmmm may bago kainan. My husband ordered Ensaladang Talong P75 + Rice P35, Pork BBQ Meal P185 and Country Style Liempo P175.
The foods are not bland but I cannot say that it is affordable because I know that you can order meals in fastfood with drinks and the price is still cheaper. Softdrinks in can pa lang is P50 na e. But this is a good option if you don’t want to go out in the hospital anymore just to buy food.
Update: March 2016
We ate here before my son's eye check-up and I noticed that they have the same menu lang pala sa Market on 5th Avenue in St. Lukes BGC. My son ordered his favorite Pork BBQ P185 and I tried the Porkchop with Egg P185.

Bradford will be boosted by the return of Callum Cooke when they host Tranmere.
The midfielder has been a big loss for the Bantams while he has been out with a hip injury, with City winning just 11 points from the 10 games he has been absent.
However, the 24-year-old is fit again and ready to play some part on Tuesday night.
Niall Canavan missed the defeat at Harrogate with a tight hamstring and the defender will be assessed.
Promotion-chasing Rovers will have Jay Spearing available again.
The experienced midfielder was suspended for Saturday’s goalless draw with Salford.
Tranmere manager Keith Hill has no new injury concerns following that game, as his side look to consolidate their position in the play-off places.
Hill must decide whether Spearing goes straight back into the starting line-up at Valley Parade.

“She’s Beautiful When She’s Angry” is the first feature documentary telling the inspiring story of the birth of the Women’s Liberation Movement from 1966-1971. Director Mary Dore cleverly weaves together archival footage, photographs and rare interviews with the leaders who shaped this movement reflecting back on this time in history. Mary will be in attendance along with some of the women when it debuts in theaters around the Bay Area on February 6. I spoke to Mary about her film.
How did you first conceived of the idea of making a film about the early years in the Feminist Movement?
I’ve been part of the feminist movement and a filmmaker since the 70’s, and was frustrated that there have been so many films and television shows on other groups from the same period, such as the civil rights, anti-war and environmental movements, while the women’s movement was virtually ignored. It’s important to remember that the Suffragists, who were so courageous, had a single goal, getting the vote for women. And that took decades! The 1960’s women’s movement took a huge intellectual and emotional leap, by challenging all facets of women’s lives and roles, and redefined gender norms. Most of these women had been involved in other movements, until they realized they were being treated like second class citizens. Our film covers the beginning of people’s consciousness about feminism, which so few people know about. I thought the early days also raised an important question: how do you start a movement? Y
In 2012, you held a Kickstarter campaign with the goal for the film which was $75K and you made $81,549. Why did you decide to go that route?
It was an epic journey to raise money. We did some filming in 2000 when Nancy Kennedy came on as my producing partner. Thanks to that early start, we had the interview with Ellen Willis who sadly died a few years later. Her part of this story might have been completely lost. Then in 2010 we received some funding and went into full time production. But we needed to raise a lot of money because the archival materials make this a very costly film.
Kickstarter is not a romantic effort where people just magically donate. It had many great elements but it’s also an incredible amount of work. Anyone who puts their project on Kickstarter should be prepared to treat it like a campaign. Complete strangers did amazing outreach because they felt this film was really important. It was both incredibly exciting and very moving. I feel blessed by all the people who wanted the film to get made and passionately believed in it.

I am delighted to be able to celebrate the birthday of His Majesty the Emperor of Japan with the people of Cambodia.
This year marks the 70th anniversary of the establishment, in 1953, of diplomatic relations between Japan and Cambodia.
In 1954, a year after the establishment of diplomatic relations, Cambodia renounced its right to demand World War II reparations from Japan.
The Japanese government invited then His Royal Highness Prince Sihanouk to Japan as a state guest in 1955. During His Royal Highness’s visit, Japan’s House of Representatives adopted a vote of thanks to Cambodia. Moreover, the two countries signed a Treaty of Amity during Prince Sihanouk’s visit to Japan.
This was the first treaty with a foreign country for both countries. For Japan, it was the first since the Treaty of San Francisco came into force, and for Cambodia it was the first since it gained independence.
Japan became actively involved in Cambodia’s peace process at the end of the 1980s, and hosted the Cambodia Peace Conference in Tokyo in 1990. After the Paris Peace Agreement was signed in 1991, Japan played an active role in building peace in Cambodia and supporting the reconstruction process. Japan dispatched personnel to the UN PKO for the first time in its history.
This year marks the 30th anniversary of the Constituent Assembly elections held under UNTAC. We hope that the general elections in July this year will be conducted in a manner that is free, fair and reflects the diverse voices from the Cambodian people.
Japan has also cooperated with Cambodia in its reconstruction and socio-economic development efforts. Japan’s cooperation has not been limited to infrastructure improvement, but has also extended into public health, water supply, education, landmine clearance and human resource development.
In addition, Japan has conducted projects to strengthen governance and the rule of law that is designed to support democratic development in Cambodia.
Last year was a special and very important year for Japan-Cambodia bilateral relations.
Samdech Prime Minister Hun Sen visited Japan twice. First, to attend the Asia-Pacific Water Summit in Kumamoto, and again to attend the state funeral for former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.
Prime Minister Fumio Kishida also visited Cambodia twice, in March and November. The Japan-Cambodia summit meetings took place four times during the year.
In November, the two leaders agreed to upgrade bilateral relations to a “Comprehensive Strategic Partnership”. It is vitally important that we develop a substantial relationship worthy of the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership title from this year.
From my perspective, under the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, bilateral relations cannot be dependent upon one party or the other. Under the new partnership, the two countries will work more closely together in addressing the common challenges being faced in the regional and international arena.
And in the bilateral context, the two countries will expand their cooperation into new areas.
Cambodia has given support to Japan’s position on many issues, including UN Security Council Reform, the North Korea abductions issue, Japan’s vision for a Free and Open Indo-Pacific (FOIP) and Japan’s new National Security Strategy issued last December.
Our shared response to the situation in Ukraine is a prime example of our cooperation on international issues.
Under Samdech Prime Minister Hun Sen’s strong leadership, Cambodia expressed its firm stance against the use of force to take territory from other countries in clear violation of the UN Charter, and joined the co-sponsorship of the UN General Assembly resolutions.
Japan and Cambodia not only share the same position on numerous issues, but also collaborate in practice. Recently, the two countries collaborated in the training of Ukrainian demining personnel on how to use a Japanese mine detector.
With regard to bilateral relations, during his visit to Cambodia last March, Prime Minister Kishida identified five priority areas of cooperation.
These include: 1. Important infrastructure development, including the Sihanoukville Port; 2. Security; 3. Economic relations; 4. Democracy and human rights; and 5. New areas of cooperation, such as digital, cyber and economic security.
As for new areas of cooperation, the two countries have already commenced cooperation on cyber security and digital technology. Examples of this cooperation include, in relation to cyber security, the provision of equipment to enhance the capacity of CamCERT (the Cambodia Computer Emergency Response Team) to deal with cyber security incidents.
With reference to digital technology, Japan is cooperating with the Cambodia-Japan Digital Manufacturing Center (CJDM) at the Royal University of Phnom Penh in the development of high-skilled human resources to work in the industrial sector.
Furthermore, defence and security cooperation between the two countries is strengthened. At the invitation of Lieutenant General Hun Manet, Commander of the Royal Cambodian Army, Yoshida Yoshihide, Chief of Staff of the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force, visited Cambodia last week. Vessels from the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force will make portcalls in a couple of months.
As to economic relations between the two countries, Japanese investment has gradually returned to Cambodia after Covid-19, as is evidenced by Toyota’s decision to establish an assembly plant in Cambodia.
I recognise that one of my most important roles as Ambassador is to appeal to Japanese companies to invest in Cambodia.
In order to ensure that our solid bilateral relationship continues into the future, people-to-people exchanges and the building and maintaining of long-lasting trust are crucial.
Through active cultural and artistic exchanges, tourism, overseas study programmes and technical training, we hope to build trust between the people of Japan and Cambodia. From February 23-26, the Japan-Cambodia Kizuna Festival will be held at the Cambodia-Japan Cooperation Center (CJCC).
I hope the Cambodian people will take these opportunities to become even closer to Japan.
Last year, Cambodia successfully chaired ASEAN. This year Cambodia will host the Southeast Asian (SEA) Games and the ASEAN Para Games, and I wish Cambodia much success with those Games.
On the occasion of our National Day, I wish Their Majesties, the Emperor and the Empress of Japan, His Majesty Preah Bat Samdech Preah Boromneath Norodom Sihamoni, King of Cambodia, Her Majesty the Queen-Mother Norodom Monineath Sihanouk and the peoples of Cambodia and Japan, good health, happiness and prosperity.
I also wish for the friendship between Japan and Cambodia to continue to flourish.
HE Ueno Atsushi, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Japan to the Kingdom of Cambodia.

Damian nods slowly, the skin on his face sliding down with each bob, dropping the dermis into flaccid folds so that he looks like one of those gourmet wrinkle dogs.

Introduction to Danielle Steel’s Net Worth
Danielle Steel, the prolific and best-selling author known for her romantic novels, has been a fixture in the literary world for decades. As of 2024, her net worth is a testament to her enduring success and the popularity of her work. In this article, we will delve into the financial status of Danielle Steel, exploring various aspects of her wealth and how she has built it over the years.
|Estimated Net Worth:
|August 14, 1947
|Country of Origin:
|Source of Wealth:
Early Life and Career Beginnings
Danielle Steel’s journey to becoming a multi-millionaire began with her birth in New York City. She was raised by her parents, a Portuguese diplomat and a German mother, which provided her with a rich cultural background. Steel’s passion for writing emerged early in life, and she pursued literature studies in New York and Europe. Her first novel was published in 1973, marking the start of what would become a legendary writing career.
Breakthrough in Literature
Steel’s breakthrough came with her novel “The Promise,” which became a bestseller and set the stage for her future success. Her ability to churn out multiple novels a year contributed significantly to her net worth. With over 180 books to her name, Steel’s work ethic is as impressive as her storytelling prowess.
Commercial Success and Royalties
The commercial success of Danielle Steel’s novels is a primary contributor to her net worth. Her books have sold over 800 million copies worldwide, and she consistently adds to her wealth with each new release. Royalties from her extensive catalog continue to bolster her financial status, ensuring a steady stream of income.
Real Estate Investments
Beyond her writing, Steel has made savvy investments in real estate. She owns properties in San Francisco and Paris, among other locations. Her real estate portfolio is diverse and includes both personal residences and investment properties, which have appreciated over time and added to her net worth.
Adaptations and Licensing Deals
Many of Danielle Steel’s novels have been adapted into films and television series, providing another source of income through licensing deals. These adaptations have not only expanded her audience but also increased her earnings through rights sales and royalties.
Art Collection and Personal Assets
Steel’s wealth is not limited to her literary and real estate ventures. She is also known for her extensive art collection, which includes pieces by renowned artists. These personal assets are valuable and contribute to her overall net worth.
Philanthropy and Charitable Work
Despite her wealth, Danielle Steel has not shied away from giving back. She is actively involved in philanthropic work, which includes supporting causes related to mental health and child welfare. While her charitable work is not a direct contributor to her net worth, it reflects her values and the responsible management of her wealth.
Income from Speaking Engagements and Appearances
As a celebrated author, Steel commands significant fees for speaking engagements and public appearances. These opportunities add to her income and, by extension, her net worth.
Brand Endorsements and Collaborations

UPDATED: JAN 7, 2015 On tap, poured into a sampler glass. The aromas are vibrant with notes of bread dough, lemon, some candy sugar, some grass, and pine cleanser late. The beer is clear, sparkling, oily and effervescent with an orange gold hue. The head is white and foamy, sudsy that leaves a good lace and a medium ring around the edges. The beer is a medium high sweet quality with a light bitter finish. Its’s plenty fizzy and zippy with an oily texture but a fairly light - maybe medium light - body. Buttered toast flavored are noted initially which turns more bready by midglass. There’s a grassy and citrus zip to the finish. It’s crisp, refreshing, and clean with a light astringent, grassy aftertaste.

12 oz bottle shared by MrBarleywine, thanks for the opportunity!
Slightly hazy medium golden color with a decent head. Aromas of rich sweet bready pilsner malt with hints of light fruit and extremely faint floral hops. Sweet bready maltiness without much to provide balance. Fruity flavor seems out of place in a clean lager. Easy enough to drink but needs some tweaking.

Poured from a bottle bought in southern Wisconsin. Pours a crystal clear gold with a fine white head that dissipates quickly and leaves a light lace on the top and sparce lacing in the side. Aroma of caramel sweetness, corn, brown sugar, and malt. Spicy hops faint in the aroma. Flavor of spicy hops right up front with some grain and corn character present. Soft and light sweetness throughout. Body is light plus with a dry finish. Overall a very clean and light beer but not quite what I expect from a pilsner.

The writing techniques utilised throughout this short story were nothing short of phenomenal. And that doesn’t even begin to describe the storyline and phenomenal characters that are splashed across the pages with a brilliant vividity. Although I haven’t (yet) had the privilege of reading the rest of the series, this short provided a great gateway into the series and the very sassy character of Maddy.
This was a great sequel to Black Wings – it had the same wit and humour, Maddy’s same ability to stumble unwittingly into problem after problem, and a gorgeous cast that you couldn’t help but feel attached to. Maddy’s clumsiness, and talent for putting her foot in her mouth have turned her into one of the most relatable heroines I have read recently. I’m constantly tripping over my own feet and getting confused about what I’m supposed to be doing in life – much like Maddy.
I am completely in love with this series. Or at least, this book, as this is all I have read of the series so far. Black Wings has a witty, independent and sassy heroine who spends most of the time running around kicking butt and yelling at people when they make her mad. Definitely my kind of woman. The fact that she has supernatural powers and the world’s most adorable side-kick just makes this book so, so, so much better.
This is a great tale that reminds us that strength and power isn’t necessarily tied in with size and looks – sometimes the most fragile of us is able to overpower the strongest. Anna’s inability to recognise her own abilities and power are not only realistic – we often forget that our greatest strength sometimes lies in the ways that we are able to care for and love others. This is echoed in the trouble which Charles and Anna have with their mating bond – it is only when Anna accepts herself and her powers that she truly accepts their bonded love.
Anna is one of the sweetest literary characters that I have read in paranormal fantasy in a long time. Her introduction in this short story bought out a new aspect of the Mercedes Thompson universe and ran beautifully alongside Moon Called.
A great and fascinating short story – and a wonderful pre-introduction into the Alpha & Omega series. Moira and Tom’s meeting is a great way to not only introduce new characters into the Mercy-verse setting, but also provide more information to the world of witchcraft. The idea of White and Black Witches is a complex issue that is introduced in Cry Wolf, and, although the terror of a Black Witch is beautifully displayed, the ability of a very powerful White Witch such as Moira was a great new angle with which to explore Briggs’ intense and intricate world.
I haven’t read any of the Kate Daniels books for a little while, since I was waiting for this short novella to arrive, and honestly, I had forgotten how violent these stories were. And how much I LOVE them! The entire series is filled with sass and dry wit, and Magic Stars was absolutely no different. Derek’s first short story and his friendship with Julie are beautifully told in this story. As are some of the aspects of their lives that can’t make it into the main novels.
This short story was a constant surprise for me – the tale never took me where I expected, which is always such a pleasant surprise when reading a new story and author. The twists and turns that The Beast of Blackmoor Bog took me on in such a short story were thrillingly enjoyable and I am now busy hunting for more writing by Vane.
I loved, loved, loved this enthralling collection of four short stories. The underlying theme of paranormal romance provided a darker side to some great stories, but also a sense of joy and hope in each journey.
This short World of the Lupi story really helped to fill in the gaps of some of what happened to Cullen during Tempting Danger. Although it wasn’t integral to the understanding of the story, it did help to fill in some gaps as to how Cullen was captured and why. It also provided a little more feedback on the Lupi’s arch nemesis – something that I think will become far more important as the series progresses.


Watches were initially known for telling what time it is, but now the era has changed and smartwatches have been introduced which can do a lot more than just telling the time. Smart watches are currently priced a lot and there are plenty of them to choose from, which makes it a difficult decision for people to make.

Apple Watch 2 is one of the best smartwatches available in the market right now. The watch comes with inbuilt GPS and runs on the latest watchOS 3 by Apple. The watch is water-resistant, which makes it more durable and usable in different kind of weather scenarios. The Apple Watch is on a bit expensive side but offers a great appealing design. Every tech reviewer, when the wearable tech was being introduced, said that this will be the next big thing. However, this did not happen may be due to the technology wasn’t ready or nobody wanted to use it. Apple might have got it right as the introduced the Apple Watch in the watch category instead of the made-up smartwatch category. This is the most successful smartwatch than any company has been able to sell until date. Apple Watch 2 starts at Rs. 31,500.
4.) LG Watch Style
The LG Watch Style was initially built in collaboration with Google and offers a whole bunch of features which are loved by the Android Wear users. The watch also looks and feels good in the hand. Battery life on the Watch Style is not as good but can easily last for the working day. The style of the watch grabs attention and of course, you can always change the watch faces. It offers great utility, the design is slim and comes with decent amount of features including the Google Assistant which works fine. The LG Watch Style is currently available via Amazon India at a price of Rs. 31,533.

Asus ZenWatch 2 comes with an AMOLED display which is much crisp and clear. The watch has a great build quality and runs on Google’s Android Wear operating system. The battery life on the watch is impressive and it comes with the quick charge ability. The downsides of the watch include the bezels and the week Bluetooth range. The Asus ZenWatch 2 starts at Rs. 23,999.

Financial Expert: Hammond's Grim Figures Show Worst Period On Record
23 November 2017, 07:45 | Updated: 23 November 2017, 09:34
British people will be earning less in the mid-2020s than they were in 2008, making it the worst period on record, a financial expert has told LBC.
Paul Johnson, the Director of The Institute for Fiscal Studies, said Mr Hammond's Budget showed a "grim outlook" as he announced that the Office for Budgetary Responsibility (OBR) has reduced growth forecasts.
Speaking to Nick Ferrari on LBC, he said: "The forecasts really are pretty bad. And that matters for all of us, because what the forecasts also say is that earnings aren't going to grow for the next couple of years.
"And even in the early 2020s, we'll still be behind where we were in 2008, which will make this pretty much the worst period on record."
Mr Johnson did admit that the OBR predictions are not set in stone - and he really hopes they have got this one wrong.
"What they've effectively done this time," he explained, "is to say over the last seven years, we've actually been hopelessly optimistic about what's happening to productivity, what's happening to the amount we produce for every hour worked.
"For the last seven years, they've said soon we'll get back to what used to be normal. before 2008. And that just hasn't happened. In fact, nothing has happened, we've continued at the very poor levels that we've had since then.
"Now, they've said things aren't going to get back to normal any time soon.
"Now, I hope to goodness that they are wrong and that things start bouncing back. But they could still be being optimistic, because the forecasts for the next few years as still better than the last few years."

Selena Gomez has made no secret about the fact that her new album, ‘Revival,’ is very much a reflection of the recent personal changes she’s brought about in her life. Last year she was mired in bad press, between rumors of a rehab stint to the drama with on-again, off-again boyfriend Justin Bieber, who was experiencing his own bad press. Selena made some changes which led to this new album.
The changes Selena made were drastic. She moved out of her mother’s house, let go of her mother as a manager to go with a management company, and signed with a new record label, Interscope Records. They’ve produced ‘Revival.’ Selena explained:
I did reach a point where I was very uncomfortable with the circumstances. Everybody has that moment in their life where something needs to change and I needed something different.”
She said a conversation with Interscope Records CEO, John Janick, inspired the album. It was right after she released her single ‘The Heart Wants What It Wants.’
I was crying in his office, like, ‘I don’t know if I can do this, I’m nervous.’ “
The reaction to the song, however, helped her press on. She explained:
[The reaction] was very kind, which was incredible, because it allowed me to go in the same direction toward this record. Then I just went through hell and scrutiny in the press, which was really unfair and I felt like I wasn’t being heard. That ultimately pushed me to be able to create an album that was personal and real and hopefully, by the grace of God, will be critically acclaimed in some aspect.”
Selena recorded ‘Revival’ in between shooting ‘Revised Fundamentals of Caregiving’ with Paul Rudd and ‘In Dubious Battle’ with John Franco, so there’s no question she’s been working hard over the past year. ‘Revival’ drops this Friday. Are you excited? I’m sure all “Selenators” are READY.

Gold FM Fire Call Out
✎ Edit Post
Posted June 10, 2019
Emergency Services ,
Brian Gentil started out wishing Moe Stevens, Chief Fire Officer with Waihi Fire and Rescue, all the best on his birthday when he spoke to him.
The Waihi Fire & Rescue Service attended two call outs this week.
The first was on Saturday at 11 am when a garden shed was picked up in strong winds and deposited on a neighbour’s property. Moe says it’s amazing what ‘they rescue’ these days.
Then early on Monday morning the alarm went off at 12.30 am. They attended a single car crash in Pukekauri Road where a young male driving a car had rolled it into a ditch. The driver wasn’t hurt, but the car was badly damaged.

The Opéra National de Paris has announced that Sofia Fomina has withdrawn from the title role in Massenet’s “Manon” due to the personal reasons.
As a result, Amina Edris will take over the opera written by Meilhac and Gille’s opera on performances scheduled for March 7, 13, 22 & 28, 2020.
Edris recently performed the role of Juliette in Gounod, Barbier, and Carré’s opera “Roméo et Juliette” at the San Francisco Opera, the title role in “Manon” at the Opéra National de Bordeaux, and the role of Fatime in Rameaux and Fuzelier’s “Les Indes Galantes” at the Grand Théâtre de Genève.
Edris joins the second cast in the new Vincent Huguet production which includes Stephen Costello, Ludovic Tézier, Roberto Tagliavini, Rodolphe Briand, Pierre Doyen, Cassandre Berthon, Alix Le Saux, Jeanne Ireland, Philippe Rouillon, Julien Joguet, and Laurent Laberdesque.
“Manon” opens on Feb. 26 with Pretty Yende also starring in the title role.
