Before I start, I must stress that I haven’t seen every release this year, and there are a few Academy Award contenders that are simply not available to me at this time. So bear in mind, I have not yet had the chance to watch films like 12 Years a Slave, The Wolf of Wall Street, Philomena, Inside Llewelyn Davis, or several of the small-time independent movies that are supposedly good even though only five people know about them.
So without further ado, here’s my wrap-up for the year!
Top 5 Best Movies of 2013:
Rush is the product of a collaboration between Ron Howard and Peter Morgan, which should be an indicator of the quality of the picture. This is an extraordinary movie, with its amazing racing sequences and compelling drama making it a shoe-in for the Academy Awards.
A third act deus ex machina aside, Alfonso Cuarón’s latest picture is a staggering work of cinematic art. Its art design and special effects are simply breathtaking, and it’s easy to get lost in the experience, especially if you’re watching it in 3D. Even BBC One’s vocal 3D hater Mark Kermode said it’s worth seeing in 3D.
I would’ve been happy if Frozen was simply a good movie, but it’s legitimately great, showing more maturity and sophistication than anything Pixar has done since Toy Story 3. It’s the best Disney animation since the ‘90s (not including Pixar).
4. The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug
Although it features a rubbish love triangle, Peter Jackson’s second Hobbit venture is a home run. Its action sequences are as thrilling as anything in Lord of the Rings, and Smaug is a CGI miracle. It’s a wonderfully enjoyable fantasy action-adventure that I plan to watch over and over again.
5. Iron Man 3
Yeah, I said it. Come and get me. Iron Man 3 is one of Marvel’s best to date, and it’s also a great Shane Black movie. Stripping Tony Stark of his suit and forcing him to rely on his intellect makes the picture incredibly interesting, and it’s bolstered by dialogue that literally sparkles. Not to mention, The Twist is one of the boldest and most interesting things in the Marvel Cinematic Universe so far. Weren’t people criticising Iron Man 2 for being safe? Calm down, people, this is a great movie.
Honourable mentions: The World’s End, Prisoners, Man of Steel, Bad Grandpa, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty.
Bottom 5 Worst Movies of 2013:
1. Scary Movie 5
About 80% of the movie was shot two months ahead of its release. It took them two months to shoot and edit this. Think about that.
2. Movie 43
Every cast member refused to promote this film. Even Dennis Quaid, who’d probably prostitute himself if you gave him a few bucks.
3. A Haunted House
This movie is more traumatic than any real-life haunting could ever be.
The poster simply reads “Enough Said.” How apt.
5. Grown Ups 2
Rob Schneider couldn’t clear his schedule for this movie. Rob fucking Schneider thought he had better things to do than this.
Dishonourable mentions: The Purge, After Earth, You’re Next, Planes, Pain & Gain.
Most Fun: Escape Plan
We’ve been yearning for a proper team-up of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone for almost thirty years now. Although the pair have appeared together in both Expendables pictures, Arnie’s roles are always severely restricted; we have always wanted a proper movie with the pair as the main characters. And now we have it, and it’s spectacular. Escape Plan is not just a fun movie, it’s a great movie, with a smart screenplay and some exceptional performances from everybody. It’s a great story, and it’s peppered with some great one-liners. But the climax is something else. The action scenes which close the picture are staggering, the type of stand-up-and-cheer stuff that we wanted from a team-up of these two titans. It’s a bloody good time.
Most Underrated: Gangster Squad
I watched the movie on opening night and drew my judgements before I saw any reviews. Gangster Squad is some of the most fun I had in the cinema last year, and it’s also a well-made movie with kick-ass action scenes and engaging storytelling. The haters can hate. I loved it, and I’d be lying to myself if I said that I didn’t.
Also: Spring Breakers, V/H/S 2, Only God Forgives, Bullet to the Head.
Most Overrated: American Hustle
Give me Gangster Squad over this movie any day of the week. I mean that with utmost sincerity. American Hustle is in dire need of coherent plotting and an emotional attachment to the characters. I walked away completely cold and unmoved. I doubt I’ll ever watch it again.
Also: Captain Phillips, The Kings of Summer, The Heat.
Most Disappointing: Thor: The Dark World
Isolated set-pieces of the movie really shine, but it lacks the proper in-between stuff. I felt no attachment to the characters and I found it hard to get invested in the movie properly. Iron Man 3 is head over heels superior to this.
Biggest Surprise: World War Z
I’m not putting World War Z here because it was some kind of masterpiece. I’m putting it here because it didn’t suck, and considering that Paramount and Plan B pumped about $400 million into the film, delayed it extensively, had to rewrite the entire final third, and did about a month of reshoots…the fact it’s actually pretty enjoyable is a big deal.
Deserved to Flop: The Lone Ranger
There is absolutely no reason for Disney to have spent $250 million on this piece of crap. It’s a pure paycheque effort for everyone involved – another excuse for Johnny Depp to be “quirky” and walk away with a $50 million payday, and another blatant attempt for Jerry Bruckheimer and Gore Verbinski to try to recreate the success of Pirates of the Caribbean. It’s not surprising that the movie landed with a resounding thud. It deserves all the scorn that it gets.
Deserved Better Box Office: Kick-Ass 2
The fact that Kick-Ass 2 flopped is heartbreaking. It was a real gem of a sequel, and it’s a miracle the thing even got made. It’s one of the most entertaining action films of the year, and it’s worthy of its predecessor. And now the fate of the third movie hangs in the balance, and it’s doubtful we’ll ever get the trilogy capper we want and deserve.

Although six Black Hawk helicopters have been delivered to Slovakia on time, the remaining three will land in the country after 2019, as reported by the TASR newswire.
All nine helicopters were to arrive by the end of this year, but three will land in Slovakia in early 2020. Defence Minister Peter Gajdoš (SNS) said a signed contract allows for a postponed delivery.
“A new deadline has been consulted and approved by mutual agreement, the so-called Letter of Acceptance, based on which the helicopters were ordered,” the minister added, as quoted by TASR.Related articleRead more
The first UH-60M Black Hawks arrived in Slovakia in the summer of 2017, the latest ones landed in August 2019.
The Armed Forces of the Slovak Republic ordered nine American Black Hawk helicopters for US$261 million in 2015.
Extra military equipment
The minister also said, on December 12, that a project to equip the helicopters with extra armaments is ongoing. Gajdoš mentioned this for the first time in August 2019.
“The Defence Ministry has already defined the requirements for extra armaments and their procurement will follow,” Gajdoš said to TASR.
The flooring of each of the nine Black Hawks will be armoured and two machine guns will be added to each one as well.
The American UH-60M Black Hawk helicopters will replace the Russian Mi-17 helicopters.

The Lady Lake Commission could revisit the contentious issue of apartments at Spanish Springs Town Square after a commissioner’s apparent change of heart.
The commission on May 2 voted 3-2 to reject The Villages’ plan for apartments at the former home of Katie Belle’s at the Van Patten House. An overflow crowd of residents were at the meeting, making an impassioned plea to stand up to The Villages. Commissioners Paul Hannan and Ed Freeman were joined by Mayor Jim Rietz in voting against the plan for the apartments.
However, within days of that meeting, Commissioner Freeman contacted the town’s attorney and apparently suggested that discussion of a possible resurrection of the issue be added to the agenda for the meeting set for 6 p.m. Monday at Lady Lake Town Hall. Because he voted with the prevailing side on the issue, he would be permitted to request it be put back up for reconsideration.
If the commission votes to revisit the issue, it would be placed on the June 6 agenda.
The commissioners have been warned that it is highly likely that The Villages will sue the town over its rejection of the plan for apartments. The town was sued last year by The Villages.

Los Angeles River: West Bank Trail is a 14.3 mile lightly trafficked out and back trail located near Los Angeles, California that features a river and is good for all skill levels. The trail is primarily used for hiking and road biking and is accessible year-round. Dogs are also able to use this trail.
This isn't a great running path. You are completely boxed in with the freeway on one side and a river on the other. Since it is a long straight path there are bicyclists racing down the path. I found the whole run kind of anxiety inducing.

San Clemente Syndrome
Drama • Drama, Short Films, 27-Feb-2023
When her father doesn’t show up for a weekend visit in a beach town, a young woman has a fling with an older surfer. “San Clemente Syndrome,” directed by Claire Offenberger, is a portrait of disappointment and longing carried by tender performances and a reflective mood. She’s a college student excited for some quality time with her dad, but all of the sudden, he’s not answering his phone. As she waits for him, she looks for a way to fill the time. That’s when she meets a sensitive, long-haired surfer, an intimate connection that complicates her weekend even further. Built around body language and eye contact as much as dialogue, Offenberger’s film is a richly observed exploration of the emotions and needs of a daughter with an unpredictable father. -KA. Director: Claire Offenberger. Cast: Sophie Savides and Tony Corella. Written by Sarah Bloom & Claire Offenberger. Story by Sarah Bloom. Cinematographer: Bruno Dante Solis. Producer: Kylia LaMure.

This week has very important historical significance in the world of basketball. 20 years ago, USA Basketball selected its national team to compete in the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games. In case you were unaware, that 1992 Olympic team (better known as the Dream Team) would go on to win its eight Olympic contests by an average margin of nearly 44 points en route to a gold medal.
So of course this week's installment of the Old School Pic should be Charles Barkley dunking on a member of the Angolan national team or something of that nature?
This post is dedicated to the 1992 Dream Team's most notable snub, one Isiah Lord Thomas III. Here he is wearing a fur coat on the banks of Lake Michigan, probably thinking about what the weather is like in Barcelona.

Ithaca Inks Sales Agreement with BP for North Sea Crude Oil Production
Ithaca Energy and its wholly owned subsidiary Ithaca Energy (UK) Limited, an independent oil & gas company with exploration, development and production assets in the UK sector of the North Sea, has signed a 5 year agreement with BP Oil International Limited (“BP”) for sales and marketing of all of its qualifying oil production from the North Sea.
As part of the development of the Jacky oil field, Ithaca previously contracted with BP for marketing and sales of oil produced to the Nigg Oil Terminal by Ithaca and its Partners in the Beatrice and Jacky oilfields. The agreement was to access the best available current market price and was for a period of one year with extensions.
Ithaca and BP have now agreed to extend the arrangement to cover all Ithaca's UK oil production up to the end of 2014 (except where such production is already covered by an existing sales agreement). Oil produced by Joint Venture partners in fields in which Ithaca holds an interest can be included.
The co-venturers in Jacky are Ithaca (67.275%, Operator), Dyas North Sea Ltd (22.725%) and North Sea Energy Ltd (10%). The co-venturers in Beatrice are Ithaca (74.57%) and Dyas North Sea Ltd (25.25%).
Ithaca currently anticipates that Jacky and Beatrice production will amount to approximately 10,000 bopd gross during the course of 2009.
Commenting on the agreement, Iain McKendrick (Chief Executive Officer) said, "This strategic marketing agreement with a company of such high financial and technical standing ensures that Ithaca can secure the most competitive prices for its North Sea production and access the flexibility that is associated with the volumes of oil traded by a supermajor. We look forward to working with BP to ensure the maximum return on our growing production portfolio."

A serious security vulnerability existed in the Microsoft login system. Researchers who found this flaw suspected that exploiting the flaw could lead to account hijacking.
Microsoft Login System Vulnerability
Reportedly, researchers from Israeli security firm CyberArk have discovered a serious vulnerability in the Microsoft login system. Exploiting the vulnerability could allow account takeovers by potential attackers.
Mentioning in detail about this discovery, TechCrunch reported that the bug affected the apps integrated with Microsoft accounts.
The bug allowed attackers to quietly steal account tokens, which websites and apps use to grant users access to their accounts without having them to constantly re-enter their passwords.
A potential attacker could exploit the unregistered subdomains of these apps to create access tokens without users’ consent.
With the subdomains in hand, all an attacker would need is trick an unsuspecting victim into clicking on a specially crafted link in an email or on a website, and the token can be stolen.
However, in some cases, the attacker would require no user interaction at all, as a website with a malicious image could serve the purpose.
Fix Already Deployed
The researchers, after finding the vulnerability, worked to register many of the subdomains associated with vulnerable Microsoft applications. Nonetheless, they feared that there could be more of such subdomains.
They informed Microsoft of the flaw in October 2019. The tech giant has consequently confirmed deployment of a patch for it with November updates.
According to a Microsoft spokesperson’s statement to TechCrunch,
We resolved the issue with the applications mentioned in this report in November and customers remain protected.
Recently, Microsoft has also addressed a spoofing vulnerability in Microsoft Outlook for Android. Exploiting the bug could allow an attacker to conduct cross-site scripting attacks in the context of the current user.
Take your time to comment on this news.


The PANDORA (Particle Analyzer Neutron Detector Of Real-time Acquisition) system is a neutron detector based on plastic scintillator coupled to digital readout. This system is designed for study of unstable nuclei by (p,n) reaction using inverse kinematics. As it is well known, the detection of low energy neutrons is difficult due to the gamma events background. A new type of scintillation material provides different response to neutrons and gamma rays, so we can select neutron events by analyzing the pulse shape. This pulse shape analyses can be done by a digital data acquisition (DAQ) system so that the gamma background can be greatly suppressed.
Comparing to ref. 1, newer version scintillators with better neutron-gamma discrimination performance are applied. In addition, the DAQ software was modified to suit our configuration and some bugs were fixed. The system was commissioned in a 6He(p,n)6Li reaction experiment and the system shows a good performance on neutron-gamma separation.
In this poster, we will show some results of the neutron-gamma separation and some preliminary results of our (p,n) reaction experiment.

BANGKOK - I’m still in Bangkok, but I will be doing a short getaway soon. I’ve been working on various stories about new projects, such as the proposed redevelopment of this rail yard in central Bangkok. I also stayed in the backpacker area for a few days, and it was sad to see so many closed businesses. That will be an article in itself.
To get to that backpacker article I need to work my way through my backlog of European travel articles, so here is my round-up of travels along the coast of Montenegro.
Latest posts at Nomadic Notes
With the Laos-China Railway opening this month, more trips reports are being published, and vloggers already on the ground in Laos are posting videos.
Assorted travel reads
I am keen to do more walks in Taiwan.
“More than 75 years after the Battle of Biak ended, collectors are still finding remnants of the fight, and U.S. authorities are hoping to bring closure to families of soldiers still missing.”
This reminds me of my trip to the Solomon Islands.
“The city’s latest bold initiative is offering up cash to help local community groups oust touristy businesses.”

As we journey through life, our bodies undergo various changes, including the natural aging process. One of the most significant changes we experience is the gradual loss of muscle mass and strength, known as sarcopenia. However, the tale of muscle loss and aging doesn't have to be one of inevitability. In this blog, we will explore the importance of muscle activation in retaining muscle mass, preventing loss, and promoting anti-aging to stave off disability and dysfunction as we age.
The Impact of Aging on Muscle
Aging brings about a decline in muscle mass and strength, often due to a combination of factors, including hormonal changes, decreased physical activity, and reduced protein synthesis. This decline can lead to various health challenges, including decreased mobility, increased risk of falls, and compromised quality of life.
"Muscle mass decreases approximately 3–8% per decade after the age of 30 and this rate of decline is even higher after the age of 60."
That's 4 to 6 pounds of muscle per decade! A decrease in muscle mass is also accompanied by a progressive increase in fat mass and consequently changes in body composition, and is associated with an increased incidence of insulin resistance in the elderly.
Furthermore, bone density decreases, joint stiffness increases, and there is a small reduction in the curve of our spine (kyphosis) that can lead to trigger points, muscle pain, and imbalances. All these changes have probable implications for several conditions, including type 2 diabetes, obesity, heart disease, and osteoporosis.
I think we can we all agree that these things are bad and that it pre-maturely shortens our lives and even worse, decreases how functional our life is.
The Key to Retaining Muscle: Physical Therapy
The principle of "use it or lose it" holds true for our muscles. Regular muscle activation through physical activity sends signals to our body that muscle tissue is needed. This, in turn, stimulates protein synthesis, which is essential for muscle growth and maintenance. Regardless of age, engaging in regular physical activity that targets different muscle groups can help retain muscle mass and strength.
While we can't stop the aging process entirely, we can slow it down and mitigate its impact to us by focusing on 3 key factors:
Mitochondrial dysfunction plays a role in sarcopenia and our overall health. Some of the treatments for maintaining mitochondrial health include hormone therapy, exercise, red-light therapy and IV therapy. In this blog, we will be focusing on muscle activation and what we can do to keep our function!
But what type of Physical Therapy exercises and what muscles should we use to specifically target the aging process to prevent disease and improve our over all function?
We have Identified 3 areas of "Longevity Muscles" for Anti-Aging
The biggest deficiencies and reasons why people are in pain and eventually lead to dysfunction are due to lack of muscle activation and strength in these 3 areas. These areas if consistently worked on can lead to prevention of diseases, injury, and overall longer more fruitful lifespan. We have found these muscles to be the root cause of several injuries and dysfunction in our patients throughout the years.
Well, What are they!?
Our back muscles! They help support posture, align our spine, support our body and much more! The Posterior shoulder is very important for balance and strength that include our postural muscles, deltoids, lats, and more! Deadlifting is one of the most functional movement patterns you can do, if performed safely and correctly.
Gluteus Medius: Supports our entire pelvic region and is crucial for fall prevention. Gluteus Max: Power house of the body, responsible for power output during activities. Maintaining their strength is crucial in order to do daily activities such as lifting boxes, sitting and standing, getting up from a chair, getting in/out of car. All situations that if this system fails can lead to falls, fractures, and and even hospitalizations!
Rotator Cuff/Scapular Muscles
The shoulder is the most mobile joint in the body. At higher ages, the potential for muscle imbalance can lead to tears and dysfunction.
30-50% of people over the age of 60 likely have some degree of rotator cuff tearing, often asymptomatic. Fatty degeneration of gluteus medius muscle impacts stability of the pelvis including the hip joint. Evaluating fatty streaks in the gluteus minimus muscle could help give early indication to those who have a higher risk of falling.
What Exercises should You Be Doing?
These are some of the best exercise you can do to target the 3 areas we mentioned earlier:
Hip Hinging: Good Mornings
Single Leg RDLs
While these are excellent exercises, what is more important is how you do them. Feeling the muscle contract in the right areas will serve you better with the right intentions instead of aimlessly performing the movement. Consult a Physical Therapist before starting any new exercise routine, especially if you have pre-existing health conditions, consult a medical professional or fitness expert to ensure safety. Some of these exercises may be to advanced. Work your way up to them, being able to do these movement will significantly improve your function and life and ultimately combat the aging process.
Muscle activation is the key to defying the passage of time, enabling us to retain muscle mass, prevent loss, and enjoy a vibrant and active life. By understanding the significance of engaging our muscles through various forms of exercise, we can embark on a journey of anti-aging that fosters independence, prevents disability, and promotes overall well-being. Remember, age is just a number, but the strength and vitality of your muscles can tell a timeless story of resilience and wellness.

The authors present the fabrication and characterization of an integrated optical readout scheme based on single-mode waveguides for cantilever-based sensors. The cantilever bending is read out by monitoring changes in the optical intensity of light transmitted through the cantilever that also acts as a waveguide. The complete system is fabricated in the photosensitive polymer SU-8. They show theoretical calculations on the expected sensitivity both when operated in air and liquid and compare these with experimental characterization of the system in air where the cantilever is deflected mechanically. The experimental results compare well with the results obtained from the theoretical calculations.

Wickes’ parent company Travis Perkins is launching a “significant cost reduction programme” at the DIY retailer after recording a slump in interim profits.
Travis Perkins recorded a 4.6% decline in adjusted pre-tax profits to £167m in the six months to June 30, despite revenue rising 4.4% to £3.4bn.
The firm attributed its fall in profitability to a “challenging UK DIY market negatively impacting sales and profitability in Wickes”.
The retailer, which hired 900 staff from B&Q last month after its rival scrapped its kitchen and bathroom fitting services, said its kitchen and bathroom sales were a particular weakness during the period.
The DIY retailer’s parent company said it would kick off a “significant cost reduction plan” to mitigate these factors in the second half of its financial year, but that the retailer’s profits would still “be lower than previously expected”.
Travis Perkins’ chief executive John Carter said: “Our trade-focused businesses in General Merchanting, Contracts, Toolstation and Plumbing & Heating achieved good sales growth despite experiencing a volatile first half.
“Our consumer-focused business, Wickes, has had a far more challenging period as weaker consumer spending trends, combined with a difficult competitive environment, have held back profitability.
“Against a backdrop of changing market conditions which are expected to continue for the foreseeable future, the group has commenced a comprehensive review of its business, with a view to driving stronger performance and enhanced value for shareholders in the medium term.”

The Authority seeks to top up the Stockpile holdings of Midazolam 50mg/10ml vial (EOL) and Noradrenaline 8mg/8ml for infs Amp (ITU) medicines in preparations for further waves of Covid 19 in Winter 2021/ Spring 2022.
The NHS drew up secret plans to withdraw hospital care from people in nursing homes in the event of a pandemic, The Telegraph can disclose.
Confidential Whitehall documents show that the NHS plans refused treatment to those in their 70s and that “support” would instead be offered to use so-called “end of life pathways”.
The strategy was drawn up by NHS England following a pandemic planning exercise in 2016 and was designed to stop hospitals being overwhelmed.
By the time the world found out that Covid was nasty but not as virulent as feared, it had embarked on a course of action that those responsible could never accept might have been wrong. Moreover, the death toll means that they will never be persuaded otherwise and the UK Government can say, with some justification, that it avoided the national health service being overwhelmed.
…The fact that five times as many people died from non-Covid related conditions (some exacerbated by the lockdown) is a reminder of our mortality. Moreover, the deaths of around 600,000 people every year does not constitute an annual disaster but the normal end-of-life phenomenon.
- The mortality rate is below 0.2%.
- For most people the risk of dying if you get infected is less than one in 500 (and less than one in 3,000 if you’re below 70 years of age).
- The disease preferentially strikes people who are anyway very close to the end of life/
- The amount of lifetime lost when someone dies of the disease is usually small.
- 2020 will likely turn out to have been a very average year in terms of overall mortality.
- 98% of people who get covid are fully recovered within three months.
- There is no good evidence that covid results in long term health consequences.
- Chinese realized early on that covid-19 wasn’t very serious, no worse than a bad flu.
- China is still reporting less than 20 cases per day.
- China is claiming that less than 5,000 people have so far died of covid in China. That’s less than Sweden, a country with less than 1% of China’s population.
The number of prescriptions for a powerful sedative that can kill the frail doubled at the height of the coronavirus pandemic, raising fears it was used to control elderly residents in stretched care homes – or even to hasten their deaths.
Official figures show out-of-hospital prescribing of the drug midazolam increased by more than 100 per cent in April compared to previous months.
An anti-euthanasia campaigner last night said he suspected that the spike was evidence that many people had been put on end-of-life protocols or ‘pathways’.

Liverpool visit Old Trafford this weekend for their clash with bitter rivals Manchester United and Jurgen Klopp will be hoping his side can burst Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s bubble. The Norwegian manager has completely turned the Red Devils’ season around since taking over from Jose Mourinho in December and a number of players are looking like new signings. Who, though, does Klopp think has improved the most?
Well, speaking to Sky Sports, the former Borussia Dortmund manager said:
“You never know in the beginning, that’s how it is when a new manager comes in.
“There’s a lot of things, maybe relief for players, for a few players of course because always when a manager has to go, a few players didn’t feel as they should maybe.
“But now, after nearly three months or so, it’s outstanding. I think Ander Herrera is in the best period of his life, it’s unbelievable how he’s playing, Pogba is Pogba again.”
You would be hard pressed to find any football fan who does not agree that World Cup winner Paul Pogba has been sensational under Solskjaer, but surely few would mention Ander Herrera in the same breath.
While Herrera was excellent against Chelsea in the FA Cup 5th round clash on Monday – he scored and put in a tremendous shift in the middle of the park – the exploits of Marcus Rashford in 2019 certainly overshadow the Spaniard’s.
England international Rashford has netted five goals in his last seven Premier League appearances for the Red Devils as Solskjaer deploys the speedster in his preferred centre-forward role.
That strike-rate surely alarms Klopp, but he appears more concerned with midfield duo Pogba and Herrera, rather than the almost telepathic link the former and 21-year-old Rashford have formed in recent weeks.
There’s good news for fans of City, Liverpool, Spurs and United in the video below…
By name-dropping Pogba and Herrera, the German boss seems to indicate that he believes Sunday’s battle will be won and lost in the midfield – the return of Virgil van Dijk from suspension and the surely subsequent restoration of Fabinho in the middle of the park will therefore be of vital importance to Klopp.
Is Klopp forgetting about one of United’s most dangerous players in Rashford, though?


UPDATED: Disney’s “Frozen 2” iced out the box office competition in North America, where family audiences powered the animated adventure to a dazzling $130 million domestic debut, according to Monday’s final tally.
The sequel, playing in 4,440 theaters, ignited above expectations ahead of Thanksgiving, which should parlay into an especially lucrative holiday frame. “Frozen 2” set a November record for an animated movie and secured the third-best start for an animated film behind “Incredibles 2” ($182 million) and “Finding Dory” ($135 million). It also stands as the biggest opening weekend ever for Walt Disney Animation (not including Pixar) and ranks as the first animated movie to hit triple digits in its inaugural outing outside of summer.
Overseas, the animated adventure generated $228 million for a massive worldwide start of $358 million, the largest day-and-date global animated debut in history. Already, five Disney movies this year have crossed $1 billion at the box office and if its momentum sustains, “Frozen 2” could make it six.
While “Frozen 2” won’t single-handedly reverse fortunes from an otherwise underwhelming November at the domestic box office, the sequel was a necessary victory in helping chip away deficit. As of Sunday, ticket sales are down over 7% from 2018, according to Comscore.
The first “Frozen” launched before Thanksgiving in 2013, collecting $93 million during its first five days in theaters. Brimming with hits like “Do You Want to Build a Snowman?” and “Let It Go” that have since become classics, the original became a certified sensation and still stands as the highest-grossing animated movie in history with $1.3 billion gobally.
“Frozen 2” received a slightly less enthusiastic, though still glowing, reception from audiences, who awarded it an A- CinemaScore compared to “Frozen’s” A+.
“There was certainly a high bar,” said Disney’s president of global distribution Cathleen Taff, “but the creative team put together a journey that feels really authentic. It’s resonating with fans and general audiences alike, so we think it will play right into the holiday weekend.”
In “Frozen 2,” Princesses Elsa (voiced by Idina Menzel) and Anna (Kristen Bell) reunite with Kristoff (Jonathan Groff) and Olaf (Josh Gad) to embark on an adventure beyond Arendelle to find out why Elsa was born with magical powers. The follow-up sees the return of directors Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, as well as original songwriters Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez.
Also new to multiplexes, Sony’s “A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood” kicked off in third place with $13.5 million from 3,235 theaters, a solid start given its $25 million price tag. Box office watchers expect the feel-good film will have a long run in theaters over the holidays.
Tom Hanks stars as Fred Rogers in “A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood,” a biographical drama chronicling the real-life friendship between the beloved TV personality and journalist Tom Junod (portrayed by Matthew Rhys). Marielle Heller (“Can You Ever Forgive Me?”) directed the movie, inspired by Junod’s Esquire article “Can You Say… Hero?”
Another newcomer, STX’s suspense thriller “21 Bridges” starring Chadwick Boseman, followed behind at No. 4 with $9.2 million from 2,665 venues. Produced by the Russo brothers, the film earned a B+ CinemaScore and drew a mostly older male audience. Over 50% of ticket buyers were male, while 75% were over the age of 25.
“21 Bridges” follows NYPD detective (Boseman) who closes down every bridge in Manhattan as part of a citywide manhunt after a drug heist gone wrong. It carries a $33 million budget.
This weekend was an undisputed win for Disney as “Ford v Ferrari” finished its sophomore outing in second place, collecting $16 million for a domestic tally of $57 million. Those figures, combined with “Frozen 2,” boosted the studio past the $3.5 billion mark domestically (including Fox movies), the third time Disney has reached that particular milestone.
Rounding out the top five, Lionsgate’s war drama “Midway” earned $4.7 million in its third frame, taking box office receipts to $43 million in North America.
Elsewhere, Sony’s “Charlie’s Angels” stumbled in its second weekend, suffering a painful 62% decline to $3.1 million for a domestic total of $13.9 million.
At the specialty box office, Todd Haynes’ legal thriller “Dark Waters” began its platform release, generating $110,000 from four theaters. The movie will expand to 100 venues on Wednesday. Mark Ruffalo and Anne Hathaway star in “Dark Waters,” based on a 2016 New York Times article about the lawyer who took on the Dupont chemical company.
Focus Features, who is distributing the film, is encouraged by its 91% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and positive exit polls and expects a strong showing from audiences during Thanksgiving.
“Clearly, this urgent, heroic story told by acclaimed filmmaker Todd Haynes is really resonating in an incredible way,” said Focus president of distribution Lisa Bunnell.
Meanwhile, Amazon’s “Honey Boy” is nearing $1 million after three weeks of limited release. Shia LaBeouf’s auto-biographical drama brought in $269,280 from 44 venues, taking ticket sales to $939,676.
Thanksgiving, one of the busiest times of year for moviegoing, will see Lionsgate’s whodunit “Knives Out” and Universal’s thriller “Queen & Slim” hit theater marquees. For Rian Johnson’s star-studded murder mystery, Lionsgate held early access screenings across the country, bringing in $2 million ahead of its Wednesday launch.

When my children were young, my husband and I would leave the kids with the babysitter and head out for date night. One of our favorite spots was the Backdoor Tavern in Fallston, PA. They had the BEST bar food. We would just order a bunch of it and that was dinner. So bad, but so good.
I am always on the lookout for recipes that will scratch that old itch. Here’s what I’ve found so far. I think you’ll find these fit the keto bar food bill.
Must Try Keto Bar Food Recipes
2. Stuffed Mushrooms with Spinach from AllRecipes. These are decadent. You could use the filling in a portobello mushroom cap (that has been de-gilled) and turn this into an impressive meal.
3. Really Good Oven-Fried Buffalo Wings from Serious Eats. A combination of baking powder and a long, uncovered rest in the fridge make for super crispy wings. Make sure you plan ahead. The longer these dry out in the fridge, the crispier they are.
4. Garlic-Parmesan Chicken Wings from Food.com. I use the Serious Eats method of cooking the wings, and then I add this sauce. I’ve gotten in the habit of making these every time I make the Buffalo version. It’s more fun that way!
5. Herbed Spiced Nuts from Epicurious. Sara Moulton made these on an episode of Cooking Live waaaay back in the 90s. I have been making them ever since. #KetoTweak them by subbing the vegetable oil for avocado oil, coconut oil, or unsalted butter and choose Himalayan or Celtic sea salt. Be sure to use raw nuts for this recipe. I usually use all pecans because they are one of the lower carb nuts. Plus, the little grooves help the seasoning mix adhere. These are SO addictive. You can double or triple the recipe…you will not need to double or triple the oil. Just use enough to coat them well.
6. Tempura Batter from LC Foods. Wait, what? Yes, tempura! And it is delicious. Caution! There are gluten-containing, better-living-through-chemistry wheat whatchamacallit ingredients in this mix. That’s why I use this on RARE occasions. It’s also kind of pricey. And did I mention that I’m always the one who gets to stand over the fryer all night? Anyway, you can use this mix to coat mozzarella sticks (freeze them first), onion rings, shrimp, fish, chicken nuggets, mushrooms, zucchini (my favorite), and whatever creative use you can come up with. I use peanut oil to fry…the only occasion I use it…because I do this rarely. You could use avocado oil because it has a high smoke point, but be ready to shell out some fat stacks for the quantity of oil you’ll need. I suppose you could use refined coconut oil as well, but the best brands are also pretty expensive. To sum up: prepared foods and cooking choices like this one, although not really meeting the highest standard of keto eating, can help you indulge without kicking you out of ketosis. We are in it for the long-haul, right? If it helps you stay compliant, then go for it. JMHO

A stand of beech trees in South Wales, where researchers say the effects of drought are already readily apparent. Photo by Alistair Jump/University of Stirling
STIRLING, England, June 15 (UPI) -- Beech trees in the forests of southern England are less resistant to drought than those growing elsewhere in Europe. Scientists determined as much after analyzing tree ring data from across Western Europe.
The results of the beech tree study, funded by the Natural Environment Research Council, were published this week in the journal Global Change Biology.
"Beech trees across Europe are extremely vulnerable to the effects of drought," lead study author Alistair Jump, a professor of plant ecology at the University of Stirling, said in a news release. "These long dry spells cause sudden and widespread reduced growth within the species."
"We might expect beech forests in hotter and drier regions of Europe, such as southern France and Spain, to be most at risk," Jump continued. "However, we have found that the south of the U.K. -- the very center of the area where the species grows -- is most badly affected."
The tree ring data also revealed the long-lasting effects droughts can have on trees. Many of the beech trees that survived the severe drought and record heat of the summer of 1967 continue to show reduced growth 40 years later.
Researchers suggest the effects of global warming will be equally long-lasting and severe -- if not worse.
"As our climate continues to warm, droughts will become more frequent and more extreme," said Jump. "Beech forests across Europe will be hit increasingly hard, with a high risk of widespread mortality when the next big dry spell hits -- particularly in southern parts of the U.K."
"We know the effects of the 1967 drought have lasted to the present day and expect that future changes to our forests may be sudden and put many of our most iconic beech woods at significant risk," Jump concluded.


Willimantic police said a man was found unresponsive in a jail cell Thursday.
Officials said a man was arrested Wednesday night on felony related charges.
The man was cooperative and was brought to the Willimantic Police Department.
Police said the man was processed and placed into a jail cell.
He was the only one placed in the cell.
Police said the man was found unresponsive in the cell around 3 a.m.
Officials said the Danielson States Attorney's Office and the CT State Police Eastern District Major Crime unit was called in for assistance.
Willimantic police said the investigation was handed over to state police to maintain transparency.
The man's identity has not yet been released. Officials said they express their sympathies to the man's family.

In the last two years, Charlie Rangel has faced a damaging ethics committee investigation, a viral infection in his spine, and a humiliating censure on the House floor delivered by his longtime friend, Nancy Pelosi.
But a thin black line running from East Harlem up through The Bronx—the boundary of Rangel’s newly redrawn congressional district—is posing the biggest threat yet. After 42 years of representing a mostly African-American district anchored by Harlem, Rangel is now campaigning in an expanded district that is 55 percent Latino—and where one third of the voters are entirely new to the veteran lawmaker.
Winning over so many new constituents would be a challenge for any incumbent, but it has been made exponentially more difficult by the back injury that kept the 81-year-old Rangel bedridden for three months this year. What’s more, a slate of aggressive challengers in New York’s June 26 Democratic primary uniformly say Rangel has served his country, if not his district, well and that it is time for him to go.
The most dangerous of these challengers appears to be Adriano Espaillat, a state senator whose district lies almost entirely within the newly created NY-13 and whose childhood story as a Dominican immigrant resonates strongly in Spanish Harlem, The Bronx, and the Spanish-speaking neighborhoods he has represented in Albany for more than 15 years.
“People are asking for change. They feel that they want to turn the page after four decades,” Espaillat told The Daily Beast. “The new district is somewhat different, but most importantly the challenges facing the district are different. We need a bold new voice that has the pulse of the community who can bring that to Washington.”
Espaillat would be the first Dominican-American elected to Congress, and he acknowledges that bit of history could help him in the new district, where he has lived for 47 years. “Every community wants to have its Jackie Robinson moment,” he said. “But I also think it’s important we bring everybody under the same tent.”
While Espaillat’s role as a Latino leader could test Rangel among the district’s Hispanic voters, former Clinton administration official Clyde Williams could siphon away African-American votes in the year the congressman needs them most. The former DNC political director is himself African-American, and worked at the Harlem headquarters of the Clinton Global Initiative.
After years of running other people’s campaigns, Williams says he is making his first run for office because the problems facing the district, like chronic unemployment, poverty, and a lack of affordable housing, have not gotten better in the last four decades.
“I don’t say that as an indictment of Congressman Rangel, I see it as a fact. We need new leadership, we need new energy,” Williams said in an interview squeezed into a 14-hour day of canvassing, meet-and-greets, calls to donors, and a speech at a public-housing unit.
“It’s the people’s seat and at the end of the day, the people have the right to have real choices.”
Williams has never run for office, but another candidate, Joyce Johnson, a Seagram’s executive turned Democratic activist, ran against Rangel in 2010, when The New York Times editorial board endorsed her over Rangel.
“The face of change is results and we simply have not seen any of that,” Johnson told The Daily Beast. “The people will decide, and what I hear on the street from people who have been there for [Rangel] and supported him for 40 years now say it’s time to go.”
Although Espaillat stands to gain from the majority Latino population in the district, Johnson says there’s another group that matters more.
“The majority of voters in this district are women, many single heads of household. It is the most overlooked fact. Guess who I am?” she said. “I am a woman and a voice that should be heard.”
Rangel’s staff did not respond to repeated requests for an interview.
It’s hard to tell how much trouble Rangel is really in this time around, because no public polls have been conducted in the race yet. But in the battle for campaign donations and endorsements, the challengers are giving Rangel a run for his money.
While Rangel has picked up the support of the SEIU and United Federation of Teachers, Espaillat has won over Latino leaders like former Bronx borough president Freddy Ferrer and designer Oscar de la Renta, who was born in the Dominican Republic. Rangel answered those picks Wednesday with two much-needed endorsements from New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and former mayor Ed Koch.
But more worrisome for Rangel are the bold-faced names who are staying out of the race entirely, including longtime ally Bill Clinton, whose staff said he won’t endorse anyone because of his relationship with Williams. President Obama has also stayed on the sidelines. When asked recently in a press briefing whether Obama will support Rangel in his primary, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said only, “I’ll have to—I’ll have to get back to you on that.”
The money race has had equally mixed results for Rangel, who still has the most cash on hand, but was outraised by Clyde Williams in the first three months of the year and ran about even with Espaillat, according to their most recent disclosure reports.
Despite the numbers, Rangel is still the best-known candidate in the race and remains almost uniformly well liked among his House colleagues on both sides of the aisle. Some have begun to step in to help Rangel after hearing about the challenge he faces this year.
“I was one of the members of the ethics committee who voted for his censure, but he has paid his price,” Rep. Peter Welch (D-Vt.) told The Daily Beast. Welch recently gave Rangel $1,000 for his reelection and described the Korean War veteran as someone who has overcome tremendous obstacles in his life and has helped fellow Democrats in Congress time and again.
“Rangel was always extremely helpful without asking for anything in return,” Welch said. “There are few people who have provided more service to more people against greater odds than Charlie Rangel.”
If anyone knows about Rangel’s talent for beating the odds, it’s Adam Clayton Powell IV, who ran against Rangel in 2010 at the height of the ethics committee investigation but lost handily.
Powell endorsed his former adversary for a 22nd term in Congress last week and had a prediction for Rangel’s challengers. “They’re gonna learn,” Powell said. “I got my whipping two years ago. Now all of them are gonna get their whipping now.”

Looking for some excellent quality, but good bang for the buck cables to join my h/k 525 to my sherbourne 7/2100. Should I just go up to Soundtrack and get some good cables there? Are there better cables I can order over the net that are a better bang for the buck? Are more expensive cables that much better? I dont think I need to use the balanced inputs on the Sherbourne since the h/k will sit right above it on the next shelf in my audio rack so there wont be any great distance between the two components. What cables should I mate these two components with?

Human error was the number one cause of data loss among UK businesses last year, according to Databarracks.
The back-up and DR firm interviewed over 400 IT decision makers to compile its Data Health Check report.
It found that across all organizations, 24% of respondents said data loss had been caused by employee error, closely followed by hardware failure (21%) and data corruption (19%).
The figure for data loss due to human error rose even higher to 31% for mid-sized firms.
Databarracks technical operations manager, Oscar Arean, argued that many smaller firms mistakenly believe their teams are too small to warrant data security policies.
As a result, there are often no processes in place to manage the risk that can come from individual staff members being given privileged access to data, he added.
The insider threat to organizations has been well documented over the years.
From Ashley Madison to JPMorgan, employees or those with access to internal networks have been fingered for major incidents.

Few people remember them like this: what the stars looked like in their youth, who became famous in adulthood
Everyone knows what Gandalf, the hero of the Lord of the Rings film series, looks like. Or, for example, Minerva McGonagall from the Harry Potter films. The actors who played these characters, Ian McKellen and Maggie Smith, have come a long way to fame: they became world famous in adulthood. Few people know what they were like in their youth.
We offer you to take a look at archival photos of celebrities taken at the beginning of their careers. Read more in the OBOZREVATEL article.
1. Maggie Smith (88 years old)
The English actress Maggie Smith became famous for the Harry Potter film saga (she was 67 at the time). But her career began long before the Potter films. In 1970, the celebrity won an Oscar for her role in the film The Rise of Miss Jean Brodie, and then completely switched to theatre. Many years passed. It was only after playing the role of a teacher at a school of magic that the actress returned to filming. Maggie appeared in the TV series Downton Abbey and in the tragicomedy Marigold Hotel. The Best of the Exotic".
2. Ian McKellen (84)
British actor Ian McKellen was a master of Shakespearean repertoire in his youth, and gained worldwide fame at a respectable age after starring in such cult films as X-Men, The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit. The actor is now 84 years old. He still appears in films from time to time. For example, in 2019, he played the lead role in the film Pitch Perfect.
3. Willem Dafoe (67 years old)
American theatre and film actor Willem Dafoe began acting in films in the 1980s. His career breakthrough was the role of Sergeant Elias in the film Platoon (1986), for which Defoe was nominated for an Oscar. Then he was offered minor roles. After a "lull", his first high-profile film was Inside Man (2006), and later The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014).
4. Hugh Laurie (63)
The most prominent work of the English actor, director, singer and musician Hugh Laurie was his role in the TV series House, which debuted in 2004 (filming ended in 2012). The film star was 45 at the time. He played a gloomy but brilliant misanthropic doctor. This image stuck so firmly in the minds of the audience that Laurie was offered supporting roles. In 2020, he was lucky enough to play the lead in the comedy television series Avenue 5.
5. Morgan Freeman (86 years old)
In 1971, American actor and film director Morgan Freeman starred in the film Who Said I Can't Walk on a Rainbow? He was very proud of this role, but it went unnoticed by famous directors. After 10 years, he was invited to film the drama Brubaker. This was followed by numerous casting failures.
Freeman gained real fame at the age of 51, when he played in the film Street Smart. Later, Morgan appeared as God in the film Bruce Almighty.
Earlier, OBOZREVATEL wrote about stars who did not want to be kissed on the set.

This week we are going to look at measures. The Year 6 curriculum focuses on converting measures eg knowing 100cm = 1m or 250 cm = 2.5 m
However it would be a great opportunity to also use measures such as grams and millilitres and develop your skills of reading scales so if you can why not try some baking this week. Obviously if you're parents are busy working this week it may be more difficult so this is just optional. There are some recipes below if you need some.
Also REMEMBER you don't need to print worksheets out. Where possible just write the calculations and answers in your book and REMEMBER you don't need to do it all!

CLEVELAND– A suspected buzzed driver fell asleep behind the wheel and fell out of his moving car into rush-hour traffic on I-90 Friday morning, Cleveland police said.
The bizarre incident happened on I-90 west at East 156th Street Friday about 8 a.m.
Drivers called 911 when they witnessed the man tumble out of his car.
“A guy fell out of a car on 90 west,” a caller told a 911 dispatcher.
Jason Balanik, 38, was not hit by any of the on-coming cars, police said.
“The car, at that point, continues on, driver-less, and kind of parks itself along the median and comes to final rest without hitting anyone either,” Cleveland Police Det. Jennifer Ciaccia said.
“It was later determined that he was under the influence,” Ciaccia said.
A witness said other drivers stopped to help the man as they waited for an ambulance and police to arrive.
“But obviously, the outcome of this could have been completely devastating. He could have hit other drivers. He could have been run over himself. It’s just absolutely amazing circumstances that, I’m sure, will never be duplicated,” Ciaccia said.
Balanik was taken to MetroHealth Medical Center to be treated for injuries from the fall. He was listed in fair condition Friday evening.
Ciaccia said once Balanik is released from the hospital, police will be taking him to jail for suspected OVI.
Police said he also has a warrant for his arrest for a previous drug case.
He has at least two prior convictions for drug possession.
