Masini is in Cape Town till the 18th of May and Newman will participate in the Italian short film festival on Lake Iseo next September (24-28).

She won the VAA Award with "Untitled: Friends".
VAA is a contest dedicated to Video Art, conceived to boost artistic production of moving images and offer a stage to audiovisual experimentation while developing opportunities for exchanging and comparing ideas about today's environment, economics and culture.
The first edition of VAA was launched as a project between Italy and South Africa in 2018 and it is addressed to emerging artists active in the two countries.
The competition recognizes each year a selection of works worthy of international promotion and indicates a selection of finalist works for each country that, together with the winners, are shown to the public at the Awards Ceremony held in South Africa and Italy.
The names of the finalist selection: Olivia Botha, Hemali Khoosal, Francois Knoetze and Phu- mulani Ntuli for South Africa; Apotropia, Citron/Lunardi, Alef Grillo and Loi&Mangiasciutti for Italy.

"The selection of the works (10 finalists out of 33 applications) represents a cross-section of arti- stic research in the moving image field. This year's proposed theme is Interconnections: Identity and Legacy, a very complex and topical subject in today's times. The works produced bravely contend with strong concepts such as cultural and gender identity as well as the relationship between technology, artificial intelligence and humankind".
The applications received at the Call were evaluated by Marco Albertario, Director of the Acca- demia Tadini for the cortoLovere Festival, Angelo Capasso, Art Historian and Art Critic, Wendy Fredriksson, Filmmaker and Independent Curator, Fabio Troisi, Director of the Italian Cultural Institute of Pretoria, Laura Vincenti, Director of the Cape Town Art Fair and Alessandra Atti Di Sarro, Director and Curator of the International Projects of the Centro Di Sarro.

Indeed, many interpretations to the Rules. I have witnessed a few who got DQ'd for holstering a loaded gun with the safety lever not activated, and who could rightly argue using your logic that the shooter was still not done with the Make Ready command. The moment you take your hand off from loaded holstered firearm, in my opinion would be the end of the Make Ready action. This is totally different from the creeping. in which the prior command is Stand By. Maybe you have tried in a big match and not get DQ'd,... Drawing a holstered loaded gun after the Make Ready( assuming there was a moment you took your hand off the gun) but before the Are you Ready/Standby commands.
Sir, you might have missed it.... the gun was already loaded and holstered. The shooter took again a sight picture when the score keeper issue was cleared. Remember that the RO did not make the shooter ULSC command, so he was past the Make ready phase. and awaiting for the Are you ready and. Stand by commands.
My question now would be: 1. Are Classic and Metric Paper Targets subject to different rules as to presentation? 2. Would inverting the paper target be a violation of the 45 degree from vertical rule? Angles can go backwards, forward or sideways. Just a point of clarification.
Surprised to see .... Stage 4.... completely inverted targets. Are they legal?

Three Cancers, One Team Approach
When Donald Brotzman was diagnosed with three separate cancers at once, his Mayo Clinic care team crafted a comprehensive treatment plan that addressed all of Donald's medical concerns in a coordinated, compassionate way.
It started with a cough and cold that wouldn't go away. "I just couldn't shake it," Donald Brotzman says. After weeks of frustration, Donald went to see a local care provider near his home in Alaska.
"They did an X-ray because they thought I had pneumonia," he says. "They saw something. But there was so much fluid in my lungs that they gave me some medicine, told me to use it up, and then come back in for another X-ray, so they could get a better look."
Donald did as instructed. "After the second X-ray, they said I definitely had some kind of tumor on my right lung," he says. "They wanted to biopsy it to see exactly what it was, but they couldn't get a sample. I had two failed biopsies over the course of the next two weeks."
With worry mounting, Donald decided to call Mayo Clinic's Rochester campus. "They were able to get me right in," he says. "Within a few days of getting there, Mayo Clinic not only had a biopsy of my right lung that showed I had lung cancer, but they also found I was suffering from bladder and colon cancer, as well."
While the lung cancer wasn't a complete shock to Donald, the other two diagnoses were.
"By then, I already knew I likely had cancer. I just didn't know what kind," he says. "When they told me I actually had three different kinds of cancer, of course I was worried, but also just a bit numb."
Although the news was a lot to take in, Donald was in the right place to handle his complex case, according to Stephen Cassivi, M.D., a Mayo Clinic thoracic surgeon who was part of Donald's care team.
"Our multidisciplinary team approach makes certain that we manage and treat the whole patient," Dr. Cassivi says. "It's not uncommon for a patient to come to us with one problem to answer, and in the process, we uncover previously unidentified issues which also need to be managed. We then address all of those medical concerns in a coordinated fashion — just as we did with Donald."
Eliminating the cancers one by one
Fortunately, all three of Donald's cancers were early stage tumors that hadn't spread to other parts of his body. But each was a serious, possibly life-threatening concern that needed to be treated. Donald's care team began by running a series of tests, scans and examinations to see which of the cancers presented the highest risk. "We determined that to be his lung cancer," says Robert McWilliams, M.D., Donald's medical oncologist.
After surgery to remove the lung cancer, Donald would go on to receive treatment for the bladder and colon cancers. With that plan set, Donald was placed under the care of Dr. Cassivi, who brought his team together to get rid of the lung cancer.
"They removed the top half of my right lung," Donald says. "That all went very well — so well that I didn't have to go through any chemotherapy or radiation. They just took it out, and that was it."
The same would largely hold true for Donald's bladder and colon cancers.
"All of my surgical teams at Mayo Clinic were astronomically good. … I have total confidence in them and in everything they and Mayo Clinic have done for me."
Donald Brotzman
"The bladder surgery didn't take much more than an hour," Donald says. "They just went in with a camera and snipped it off. The hardest part of that one was that I had to use a catheter for a while after the procedure."
Last, but certainly not least, was the colon cancer. Donald need to undergo several rounds of chemotherapy and radiation after two of the lymph nodes Robert Cima, M.D., a Mayo Clinic colon and rectal surgeon, and his surgical team removed from Donald's colon were found to contain cancer. "But that wasn't that bad," Donald says of the treatments.
Nor was the walking-intensive rehabilitation plan that came next, which Donald says has him on a continued path to full recovery from all three cancers. "I don't have a lot of strength right now, and I still nap a lot, but I otherwise feel pretty good," he says. "As far as being in pain goes, it's not bad at all."
For that, Donald knows just who to thank. "All of my surgical teams at Mayo Clinic were astronomically good," he says. "They have to be in order to do what they did for me. I have total confidence in them and in everything they and Mayo Clinic have done for me."
Mayo's model of care at work
While he appreciates the recognition, Dr. Cassivi says credit should also be given to Donald for taking the initiative to reach out to Mayo Clinic for a second opinion.
"Mayo Clinic should be first of mind for people like Donald who want a second opinion, especially if the initial opinion doesn't seem to fit," he says. "We likely won't be able to change the facts of their case, but we can often see things from a different perspective, allowing for a novel or not previously considered approach."
That's just what happened in Donald's case. He also benefitted from Mayo Clinic's overall model of patient care, adds Dr. Cassivi.
"In some cases, like mine, it's your life on the line. So I'm not sure why you wouldn't want the best medical care and the best medical teams possible. I've gotten both at Mayo Clinic."
Donald Brotzman
"Within a matter of hours after his diagnosis, we were able to get a plan in place that involved three different surgical procedures for three different cancers, so that he could quickly — and in the proper sequence — be effectively treated within a short period of time," says Dr. Cassivi. "There's no other place in the world where that could have happened, and it's a classic example of Mayo's Model of Care."
Donald's case also exemplifies Mayo Clinic's core values of teamwork, compassion, excellence and healing.
"It's amazing how many different people you have working on your side when you're a patient at Mayo Clinic," Donald says. "In some cases, like mine, it's your life on the line. So I'm not sure why you wouldn't want the best medical care and the best medical teams possible. I've gotten both at Mayo Clinic."

A recent Fox News poll has bad news for Senate Republicans as they hope to push through Brett Kavanaugh's nomination to the Supreme Court before the November midterm elections.
The poll, which was released on Sunday, found that only 40 percent of voters would vote to confirm Kavanaugh while 50 percent would oppose doing so. By contrast, last month 45 percent of voters said they would vote to confirm Kavanaugh and 46 percent said they would oppose doing so. It also found that voters were ambivalent about the attempted rape accusations made against Kavanaugh by California research psychologist Christine Blasey Ford: While 36 percent of the voters polled believe Ford and 30 percent believe Kavanaugh, 34 percent say they are unsure who is telling the truth.
There are some other revealing numbers in the poll. For instance, women are far more unfavorably inclined toward Kavanaugh than men: In general more of them believe Ford over Kavanaugh by 10 points, and suburban women are more likely to believe Ford by 17 points. By contrast, only 1 percentage point separates the men who side with Ford over the ones who side with Kavanaugh.
When it comes to partisan biases, the results were predictable. Among Democrats, Ford is believed over Kavanaugh by a whopping 59 percent to 9 percent; among Republicans, 60 percent of voters believe Kavanaugh and only 14 percent believe Ford.
READ MORE: I was wrong about the "blue wave": It's here. But where will it land and what does it mean?
As Fox News reported on its website:
Since August, support for Kavanagh's confirmation dropped 12 points among independents, 11 points among suburban women, and 10 points among voters under age 45. Support is also down, by smaller margins, among men (-5 points), women (-4), Democrats (-5), and Republicans (-4).
In a letter sent to Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., Ford told a harrowing story in which Kavanaugh and an unidentified friend held her down and attempted to rape her while they were both teenagers at a friend's party during the 1980s.
"Kavanaugh physically pushed me into a bedroom as I was headed for a bathroom up a short stair well from the living room. They locked the door and played loud music precluding any successful attempt to yell for help," Blasey wrote in her letter, which was first publicly published by CNN. "Kavanaugh was on top of me while laughing with REDACTED, who periodically jumped onto Kavanaugh. They both laughed as Kavanaugh tried to disrobe me in their highly inebriated state. With Kavanaugh's hand over my mouth I feared he may inadvertently kill me."
Later in the letter she described how the experience had changed her life.
"I have not knowingly seen Kavanaugh since the assault. I did see REDACTED once at the REDACTED where he was extremely uncomfortable seeing me," Ford wrote.
She added, "I have received medical treatment regarding the assault. On July 6 I notified my local government representative to ask them how to proceed with sharing this information. It is upsetting to discuss sexual assault and its repercussions, yet I felt guilty and compelled as a citizen about the idea of not saying anything."

Dear fellow human beings,
As we are entering the fall of 2019 and the beginning of the epic year of 2020, a great deal of change is requested to take place in each and every one of us, as you probably have noticed by now.
If you are describing yourself as a spiritual seeker or a lightworker or something similar, you are most likely being called to take a big leap forward into the unknown. This call to grow and evolve can express itself as uncomfortable, disturbing feelings and unwanted agonizing emotions, but it can also be an inner knowing that you (or we as a collective) need to change, but you don't know how.
As a collective we are about to reach an energetic pivotal point, a crossroads if you will, where the road forward we collectively are choosing with our current vibration is leading us into a future of little or no hope of harmony and love amongst the peoples of this planet. This could essentially lead us to destroy our environment and ourselves as a civilization.
Our world is becoming more and more chaotic because we need to put all the cards on the table so that we clearly can see what we do not prefer and then choose the opposite, what we actually prefer, and this is a good thing!
There's big changes coming up, but let's not dwell in fear and over-dramatize the situation 🙂
Actually, it is all very logical and simple. Humanity has lately been evolving in the spectrum of the third density which correlates with the third chakra. This is the chakra of the individuated self; self power, self-confidence, exploring the small self's (ego's) wants and needs and manifesting accordingly. We are now approaching the end of this cycle. The external world we have created is now crammed, burdened and over-manifested with quick fixes and short term solutions. There is no more answers to be found in external manifestation alone.
We have prioritized the outer world over our feelings and emotions and the understanding of our inner world, the very essence of our being. We have created a society where it is taught and expected of us to neglect or suppress the negative emotions and instead focus on the "doing" in the external world. Of course this way of living only enhances the negative energy that we are trying to avoid.
What we are called to do now is to turn inwards, accept the invitation to put down our resistance, expand our consciousness and move into the fourth density, the fourth chakra. This is the chakra of the heart, the density of love and compassion. We are being invited to acknowledge, accept and most importantly FEEL all the emotions we until now have been suppressing. At the same time we need to take intentional action in alignment with the Truth of our hearts, not our minds. But we can't really do this from the third density perspective. Then we would logically have to be able to explain, justify and defend all our emotions and actions and there would most likely be too many paradoxes and contradictions coming up that would result in some sort of system collapse 🙂
But we can do it from the fourth density perspective, the paradigm of love and compassion.
We can learn how to open up our hearts, prioritize the NOW over the past or the future, stop relying on our thoughts and explanations, stop judging, defending or fighting what is present in every Here and Now. And most importantly, we can learn how to feel COMPASSION for every being on (and out of) this planet.
Many of us have already started this journey to the fourth density a long time ago, but now we are being invited to take it more seriously, to actually take the actual leap and stop fantasizing and romanticizing about it.
So what does it mean to take the leap into fourth density?
Well, seen from the perspective of the third density – we don't really know. And we can't exactly know either (since we've never done it before). But we can learn.
We can learn how to live with an open heart.
We can learn to develop faith in the unknown.
We can learn to trust the inherent harmonizing principle in all life more than we trust our own limited understanding of the world.
We can learn to be okay with not knowing.
We can learn to see the potential and the expansive perspectives in the paradoxes.
We can exercise being mindful and present in each and every moment, recognizing our discordant thoughts and behavior and taking responsibility for them, owning them. By not making excuses and not blaming our negative emotions on anybody else, we can radically speed up our self realization process and move through our own bullshit.
We can learn more and more about our selves until we clearly see that there is no separation, all things are ONE and everything and everyone is experienced inside our own consciousness, the one and only consciousness we are all individualizations of.
If we knew this clearly, then how could we ever do any harm to another?
We can find fuel for our compassion and our actions of love in clearly acknowledging that our way of life needs to change. Now.
Starting this fall, I will dedicate my (self arranged) soundbaths to the unfolding and the embodiment of the fourth density.
I am very happy to announce that starting September 11, I will arrange soundbaths in the beautiful new space in Vasa called Gaia (Skolhusgatan 32 A 1).
These sessions will take place on Wednesdays at 19:00.
I am also offering soundbaths in Sound Awareness' studio in Malax on Thursdays at 19:00
I am also happy to offer individual coaching and sound healing sessions for those interested. Please contact me for further information.
If these words resonate with you, and you feel that sound and vibration can be a powerful healing tool in deepening the contact with your Self, I welcome you with an open heart to join our growing community of conscious co-creators of the New Earth.
Soundbath information:
A Soundbath is an opportunity for You to detach from the outer world for a moment and let the sounds from singing bowls, drums and gongs tune you back into your natural frequency.
If you suffer from stress then this event will most likely help you to relax and lay all your burdens aside for a while, so that you can feel the ease of just being.
If you want to dive deep inside of your self, your consciousness, beyond thoughts and mental noise and discover more of your True Self, then these sounds can help you get into a deep meditative state by brainwave entrainment.
Sound affects us on different levels, both physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. Thru my sound baths I want to offer a harmonic atmosphere that promotes the healing processes that you are going through right now in order to grow and evolve into an even more harmonious and balanced version of Your Self.
The soundbath lasts for about an hour, but we will reserve about two hours so that there is enough time to unwind in the beginning and to wake up to this version of reality in the end. The participants will lay on the floor so please bring your own yoga mat, comfortable clothes and blankets if you prefer. A bottle of water is also good to bring along.
Space is limited to 10 participants max, so reserve your place now by sending me PM or commenting below!
Suggested offering in Vasa: 20€
Suggested offering in Malax: 15€
(but if you are in real need of healing, any amount will do 😁 Some sort of exchange is also possible.)
Stefan Backas is a sound therapist living in Malax. By his work with sounds and frequencies, he wants to promote awareness and expand consciousness in our society.

URGENT repair and maintenance works at Hardshaw Brook Depot will begin "immediately" after council chiefs approved the £1 million plans.
The council's only operational depot is located between Jackson Street to the east and Warrington Road/Peasley Cross Lane to the west.
The depot stores a fleet of approximately 170 vehicles across a number of services, with more than 100 members of staff based there.
READ > St Helens Council's plans to modernise gets rubber stamped by cabinet
A cabinet report says detailed building condition and service surveys carried out found that all external areas throughout the depot are deteriorating, including car parks and roadways.
A number of other buildings, including the stores and admin block, require "significant repair" in order to remain operational.
In addition, recommendations from the fire risk assessment identified a number of repair and maintenance issues that require urgent attention and completion before the end of October 2019.
While the council intends to address these issues, the cabinet report says a new-build alternative could prove more cost-effective in the long-term.
Cllr Kate Groucutt, cabinet member for corporate services, estates and communication, said: "The age and the condition of the facilities within the depot means that there's now a need for us as an authority to invest to ensure that some of our most important public services can continue to operate effectively.
"A review of the buildings and fabric of the depot has been undertaken and immediate works are now recommended to ensure a safe and effective working environment is provided.
"Further work is also being undertaken to determine a future strategy for depot services but our focus at this time is to carry out these immediate works.

"We have a duty as an employer to undertake fire risk assessments and that adequate and appropriate fire risk measures are put in place to minimise potential risks."
Cllr Groucutt said works will start "immediately" to address any potential issues identified.
Cabinet approved capital expenditure of £1 million to address immediate repair and maintenance issues within Hardshaw Brook Depot.

The sun was shining on what is one of the most important dates in the calendar 'Remembrance Day'
It was to be a great day for everyone to come out and show their respects for all those that died for us in both world wars and in recent wars abroad, a time to give our thanks to those that returned home with life-changing injuries, and for our armed services currently keeping the peace abroad.
Many of the councillors and the leader came out to show their respects along with Sara Todd, Western looked like he needed another couple of hours in bed.
On every event at Sale, a fair amount of police was always seen at all the roadblocks and in the crowd, some might say a little too many however this year no police were at roadblocks and from all sides, no police could be seen anywhere else other than one car near the railway pub.
People will be standing silent at the war memorial in Sale tomorrow for two minutes at the 11th hour of the 11th minute.

Department of State Atomic Energy Files
Memorandum by Mr. R. Gordon Arneson to the Under Secretary of State (Webb)
Subject: Tripartite Talks with the United Kingdom and Canada
In response to the Secretary's request I sent in to him on May 17 a series of recommendations as to timing and procedure to be applied to the conduct of negotiations with the United Kingdom and Canada on atomic energy matters.1 A copy of this paper, which hard the concurrence of Mr. Kennan, Mr. Rusk2 and Mr. Gross3 and which had taken into account the views of the Defense Establishment and the AEC, was sent you at the same time. (Copy attached as Tab A)
As the paper points out there is some need to move as quickly as possible on this problem. It is recognized, however, that certain other matters have chronological priority, as for example Congressional action on the Security Pact and consideration of MAP.[Page 470]
The current investigation by the Joint Atomic Energy Committee of the AEC 4 seems to me to place a complete roadblock in the way of moving ahead with the suggested program of action at this time. Moreover, it is impossible to predict now how long the investigation may go on and indeed how much longer it would take the Committee to cool off.
Our British colleagues who have been following the Congressional investigation with lively interest appreciate fully that this development necessarily means delay. Sir John Cockroft5 came to see me this morning at his request to talk in general terms about the time that conversations might begin. He considered it quite unlikely that anything could be gotten under way until late this summer or early fall. In the past the British seem not to have fully appreciated the necessity on and indeed how much longer it would take the Committee to cool off. before we were in any position to enter into negotiations with them and the Canadians. The current fracas on the Hill seems to have convinced them of the necessity of appropriate Congressional clearance on our side before talks can take place.
Unless you perceive objection, therefore, I recommend that the program outlined in my paper of May 17 be held in abeyance at least until the return of the Secretary from Paris6 at which time an assessment should be made of the Congressional situation.
At the outset of the Congressional investigation, Lilienthal urged the Committee to call Secretary Acheson, Lovett,7 and Eisenhower to testify on the foreign aspects of our atomic energy program. Neither Hickenlooper nor the Committee seems disposed to do this, at least for the present. Gross and I are following this aspect of the investigation closely with Joe Volpe, General Counsel of AEC. Should the Committee subsequently show signs of wanting to go into the question of relations with the United Kingdom and Canada, we would propose to talk with Senator McMahon urging the Committee not to do so on the ground that these relations are not germane to the charge "incredible mismanagement" leveled against the AEC.

After more than a year-and-a-half probe, the Federal Trade Commission voted to approve approximately $5 billion in settlement fees with Facebook this week, a source familiar with the case confirmed to the Wall Street Journal.
Why it matters via Axios' David McCabe: A settlement of the long-running investigation would move the global debate over online privacy into a new phase, sparked, in part, by revelations about Facebook's treatment of user data. The $5 billion fine would represent the largest ever of its kind.

Business challenge
Climate change, water scarcity and the depletion of natural resources are becoming increasingly serious global issues and have the potential to affect our ability to operate. In order to address these environmental challanges Coca-Cola Enterprises (CCE) has implemented "Commitment 2020" which covers the key sustainability issues relevant to our the business.
CRS is a pillar of CCE's overall business strategy and Global Operating Framework and an integral part of ensuring our success. As a result of a global CRS Summit, involving CCE's 250 senior leaders, CCE has now stepped up its corporate responsibility and sustainability commitment. In 2009, CCE has developed a set of goals and targets to achieve by the year 2020 - called 'Commitment 2020'. This business-wide framework sets out CCE's vision to become the best beverage sales and customer service company.
Within Commitment 2020, CCE has used a cost benefit analysis process to prioritise its CRS investments, looking at environmental impact, cost and reputational benefit. This enables CCE to allocate resources effectively within its five strategic areas.
The Goals of the Commitment 2020 initiative are:
A cross-function team at CCE has developed a series of roadmaps to ensure that the business is able to meet the 2020 Commitments, as set out below:
Energy Conservation / Climate Change
We aim to reduce the overall carbon footprint of our business by 15% by 2020, as compared with our 2007 baseline. We have also developed a detailed plan to improve energy efficiency in our main areas of impact - manufacturing, cold drinks equipment and transportation.
Water stewardship
We are aiming to establish a water sustainable operation in which we minimise our water use and replenish the amount of water equivalent to what we use in our beverages to the local communities in which we operate.
Sustainable Packaging / Recycling
We will reduce the impact of our packaging; maximise our use of renewable, reusable, and recycling resources; and recover the equivalent of 100 per cent of our packaging.
We will be constantly seeking improvements to reduce the amount of packaging we use and increase the amount of recycled materials we use in our packaging.
Product portfolio / Well-being
We will provide refreshing beverages for every lifestyle and occasion, while helping consumers make informed beverage choices.
We will continue to expand our range of waters, juices and reduce the average calorie content by volume, as well as offer smaller portion sizes. We also continue to provide more information about our beverages.
Diverse and Inclusive Culture
We aim to create a culture where diversity is valued, every employee is a respected member of the team, and our workforce is a reflection of the communities in which we operate.
We are working to build a diverse and inclusive culture by putting in place business structures.
- Ensuring that CCE is able to deliver business growth and meet its carbon footprint reduction goal.
- Ensuring that CCE is able to meet its 100% recycling target in countries with historically lower recycling rates (eg Great Britain and France)
- Working with external stakeholders to define "a water sustainable operation"
Meeting our European target to ensure that by 2012, 25% of all the PET plastic we use is recycled PET.
Challenges/Lessons learned:
CCE has made significant progress in all five of its CRS focus areas. Detail can be found on the CRS websites listed above, or in CCE's CRS Reports:
- CCE has measured its own carbon footprint (scope 1,2 & 3) as well as the carbon footprint of a number of products in Great Britain.
- CCE has measured the water footprint of a 500ml bottle of Coca-Cola produced as its Dongen manufacturing site in the Netherlands.
- In Europe CCE has significantly improved its water efficiency and in 2008, used an average of only 1.57 litres of water to make one litre of product, compared to 1.64 lites in 2007.
- CCE has undertaken a number of significant packaging reduction initiatives, including work to reduce the weight of its 500ml PET bottles from 39g (1994) to 24g (2010).

You're certainly right that those are all good books. I do take issue that Taylor's commentary is "the" best however. As for the Casey and Crossley books, the former which I own and both of which I have read, they are certainly valuabe sources but not the #1 in their genre. If you compare Casey's work, for instance with the WBC text I listed in text-critical, there is not even a comparison to be made really! The WBC text is 2 volumens and has tons of text-crit info. The Casey book is not very big and while it has a lot to offer, is only selective. The WBC set goes through the entire text of Mk. line by line. Crossley's text, which I find quite compelling is also good. I still don't know if I agree with it, however. Dating Mk. that early (in the 30's) is highly debatable. I think Kloppenborg makes good arguments against it in his article as do many others in their works.

The point of the post was not to list a bibliography but to list what I found to be the most valuable Markan text in its respective genre. That's not to say the others aren't valuable, it's just to say, here's where one should start and here are texts you can return to again and again to draw info from.

Had I been doing a select bibliography even, I certainly would have included the works you mentioned.

As for the Taylor work, while it is heavy on form critical stuff, it is worthwhile. Still, I'd cast my vote elsewhere (as I have).

I appreciate your thoughts. No reason to be disappointed. Certainly, all of the sources I've listed are good ones and are worthy of praise.T. Michael W.

I will most definitely check out the Waetjen work. Of course, I am familiar with Gundry's text too. He does offer a number of novel insights that other scholars do not and he's certainly very adept in all-things-Markan. Even though I disagree with a lot of Myers's work, I placed him at the top of the list because of his creativity, uniqueness and attempt at a socio-cultural-political-rhetorical hermeneutic.

Thanks for the lead on a new work (new to me) and your comments! And by the way, since you're a "Mark-man" are you looking for any "Mark-students" to do some PhD work with? :)T. Michael W.

Waetjen called "A Reordering of Power" which is one of my best picks for Mark commentaries. Also, I think Bob Gundry's commentary trumps alot of stuff and he rightly captures the notion of Mark's Gospel as an apology for the cross! As a Mark-man, I'd say Gundry is my favourite!Michael F.

Score: 3.27
Score: 3.26
Score: 3.23
Industry average: 3.00
When the final scores were tallied, the race between the top two insurers this year was as close as it could have been, with just 0.01 points separating first and second. But for the third time in the last four years, CGU has emerged victorious, taking the title of Insurance Business' Insurer of the Year. In addition to being crowed the overall winner, CGU was the winner of eight medals in 11 categories, including four gold medals.
In the mountain of feedback survey respondents delivered, some brokers took the time to share individual standout moments they've had in dealing with CGU. "CGU quoted and bound cover on a large commercial building … within three hours to help an important client," one broker reported. "The risk was not straightforward, but they were able to put everything on hold to get this major account over the line in such a short period of time." Another broker praised CGU for "agreeing to cover an aged care transport business that we had been struggling to get cover for". A third broker simply commented that "CGU seems to be the only market that tries to help".
Right on CGU's heels was last year's gold medallist, Allianz. And like CGU, the Munich-headquartered global giant has found itself ranked among the top three insurers in every one of the six annual Brokers on Insurers survey to date. Allianz also received seven medals this year, including a gold for broker training and development.
Rounding out the top three for 2018 is Suncorp's Vero, a company making its first appearance on the medallists' podium since this survey debuted in 2013. Winning four medals, including a gold for BDM support, Vero also received some hugely positive comments from brokers.
"Vero seems to be open to assisting whenever they can – and mostly go the extra mile," one respondent said. Another broker shared a positive impression of Vero based on their experience of the insurer being "willing to look at every avenue before declining" to underwrite a risk.
While the ranking order has changed over the years, the same five insurers have consistently secured the top five overall spots in every Brokers on Insurers survey to date. This year, however, Chubb shook things up by breaking into what was a seemingly impenetrable top five. Given that brokers awarded the insurer three gold medals this year – for claim turnaround times, premium stability and product innovation – it's unsurprising that Chubb managed to crack the overall top five.

Explanation please, no seriously i want to know
So, just had a game where my top lane nasus went like 0/8 in lane, feeding the enemy irelia really hard. That is ok thoough, everybody has bad games. What i do not get is why our vi then decided to give up and troll because of it, roaming around the junge avoiding all interaction basically making it a 4v5, effectively beeing afk. To people that behave like that, i have one question: Why? No, honestly, i am genuinly interested why you would behave like that, especially if the game would still be a win considering all other lanes dominated, but even if it were looking grim, there is absolutely no reason to be like that ( also no reason to surrender btw almost every game can be turned around). i Almost forgot that the community has people like that since my games were relatively fine this season so far, today was a grim reminder ( plus it happened in my promos clichee , just leage things i guess). I honestly do not understand what would drive you to act like some spoiled child that didnt get his 5000€ pc for christmas or something, because i dont understand. confused and honestly kinda pissed off, Fedairkid

Most people might think of the 2009 film when the word Watchmen is mentioned, but it started off first as a graphic novel, and then a comic book series before it even made it to the big screen. However, contrary to popular opinion, HBO's new television series Watchmen is nothing like the source material. It's more along the lines of playing in the same sandbox, setting the story in an America where the outcome of the Vietnam war was very different, and where ex-President Nixon served five terms before Robert Redford succeeded him.
It's in this setting that Academy Award-winner Regina King plays Angela Abar, a woman whose superhero alterego, Sister Night, works with the police in Tulsa, Oklahoma trying to bring a white supremacist group to justice. King won her award for portraying Sharon, a mother whose daughter's boyfriend has been wrongly accused of a crime in If Beale Street Could Talk.
We chatted with King over the phone and asked her about her thoughts on superheroes, political awareness and how fans of the Watchmen graphic novel might react to the series.
How do you think fans of the graphic novel and audiences in Asia will relate to the show?
I don't know, that's a good question! I'm very anxious to find out. I hope that they'll be entertained and also enlightened about history that took place in America almost a hundred years ago, and yeah. I can't wait to find out.
Have you read the graphic novel before?
No, I have not. I was not familiar with it, and when we shot the pilot, (executive producer and series creator Damon Lindelof) asked if I hadn't read it. And when I let him know I had not seen the movie, he asked if I would not see the movie because my character is not in the graphic novel. The way Damon and the writing team decided to frame the show was that the source material is the history of Tulsa, Oklahoma in 2019. All I needed was just the bullet points of the things that happened and Damon provided all of those things to me.
How did you feel when you first read the script for Watchmen?
I felt like it was something that I'd never seen before, that I never had read a story that just was even remotely close. I was not familiar with the comic book, and I'd never seen the movie, so the references and the parallels to the comic books were lost to me because I had never read them before. It just punched me in my gut and made me so excited. I feel like it's really hard to have original content nowadays and not feel like you're just duplicating something that already exists. The possibility of being part of a show that felt original was exciting.
I read a previous interview where you said when Damon wrote you a letter offering you the part, you replied, "I don't need to read the script, just tell me what day we start." I'd like to know how often does that happen for you, and if your response was out of character for you.
It does not happen often. I've been lucky in recent years to have had the opportunity to work with some of the most talented writers in the business, but because I had that experience and the opportunity to work with Damon on Leftovers, I was very familiar with his style of showrunning, writing and of allowing everyone involved to be collaborators. Just knowing that I could have an experience like that again is what made me feel like I didn't care what it was, just as long as Damon is involved. And it doesn't hurt that Damon is such an awesome writer.
Do you think it's important for actors to be politically aware if you're taking on projects that allude to social issues like Watchmen?
I think no matter who you are, no matter if you're an actor, a doctor, whoever you are, I think it's important for you to be aware of what's going on in your environment. That's one of the problems where in America we get so caught up in the election of the president and forget about the local elections, which probably affect us even more in our districts. Yeah, I think it's important as a human being to be aware of what's happening politically.
In the U.S. there's been a public discussion about racism, and I think it's more apparent now with the current administration. When you take on roles like Sharon in If Beale Street Could Talk and Angela in Watchmen, is that your way of trying to keep the discussion going forward?
Oh, absolutely. It started even before there with American Crime, and I don't think that I was actively saying to writers or to my agents that I only want to see material that involves subject matter that's current and that continues the conversation or forces conversation about race. I think that just being black American and being the experience that I've had all my life and becoming a mother, I just kind of naturally gravitated to those parts when they came my way. They just spoke to me. Overall I feel like I'm lucky to have the opportunity to express my art through words and visuals that are holding a mirror up to society.
In the HBO series, Watchmen is more diverse in terms of the actors and actresses compared to the original graphic novel and the movie. How do you feel about this different approach?
I'm excited that the story that Damon and the writers have written require black actors and actors of colour in order to tell the story, but yes, it is an original story. Black people are not a monolith, so we are always actively trying to be in roles where being black is not just part of the character description. But in Watchmen, it is, but it's a story you've never seen. In a way it's exciting to have the opportunity to applaud or feel pride in being black, but still be in the story.
What was it about Angela Abar that attracted you to the role? Are there any similarities between you and the character?
I think there are similarities between everyone and Angela, because she represents how we all wear masks. We switch masks daily sometimes, just to adapt to certain situations that we're in, or we switch masks to protect ourselves. In the pilot we see her switch masks three times. So yes, I can relate to that, and I feel like most people can.
Could you tell us more about the casting or audition process for the role of Angela?
I didn't audition so I can't tell you more about the audition process of the entire show. I feel like we have amazing casting directors. My part in the auditioning process was with our casting director who was in L.A., Victoria Thomas, and a local casting director in Atlanta. When they were auditioning for the role of Cal (Angela's husband in the show), I had to read with about four different actors. (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) and I had chemistry immediately, it was like a no-brainer once he came into the room that he was the perfect Cal.
There's been a lot of talk about superhero movies changing the business, and some believe it's not a good thing that Watchmen is based on a graphic novel. What do you think about that?
I don't really have much thoughts about it. I'm just interested in great storytelling, whether it's inspired by existing work or whether it's original. I feel like while I haven't read the graphic novel, I know that we have a lot of nods and easter eggs in the show for those people who are true fans of the graphic novel. But my understanding is that this does not feel like the graphic novel or the film, it feels like its own piece of work. Myself personally, if it's a great story, it doesn't matter where it came from.
Do you have any favourite superheroes that inspire you?
I was a fan of Wonder Woman and… I'm gonna keep it with Wonder Woman and Batman seeing as how I play a DC superhero.
Do you think our world needs superheroes now and who do you think comes the closest to being our modern day superheroes?
I think that we do have superheroes, and I think that superheroes change from person to person. For a lot of us, our mothers are our superheroes. That's one of the things that's really exciting about Watchmen, even if you take it back to the graphic novel, the majority of the superheroes are more anti-superheroes because they don't have super powers, they just have super skills. They flipped it on its head and looked at what a superhero is from a different lens. Yeah, we have modern day superheroes in every era of history. We all have a version of a superhero in our lives, and most people that I know who have achieved any kind of success can attribute someone that was in their life that was like a superhero to them.
Something tells me that your costume in the show will become iconic. Do you remember how you felt when you first wore it, and did you keep the costume or anything else from the set?
No, I did not keep the costume! It was definitely empowering. Every time I put it on, my body language changed, my shoulders would be more erect. I believe that costume is somewhere under lock and key until possibly she needs to come out to play again, hopefully we'll get to see it again for another season. I feel like you, if I see just one post of a person in the costume it's probably gonna make me giddy like a child.
Was it uncomfortable?
Not uncomfortable as far as how it felt on my body, but I would get so hot when we were doing the fight scenes and I had to run for hours. They had to pull out this cooling vest to put on me because it got so hot and I would sweat so much. I used to believe that when people wear those suits to make them sweat when working out, I would think, "yeah that's just silly, you're not gonna lose any weight". Well I had to eat those words because after the first day we did the scene at the cattle ranch, I literally lost so much weight that they had to take the costume in because I sweated so much.
You're now an Academy Award winner. How would you like to choose your next project?
I would not like to change anything. I want to continue to only do things that resonate for me. I read a script just like how anybody would read a book, just to see how it makes me feel. I don't ever want to change that, I don't want to change things just because someone says "this is what an Oscar winner should be choosing".
Can you share something funny or memorable that happened on the set?
I think the first thing that comes to mind is that I took several falls in that amazing costume because that caped skirt was not very convenient for fighting and running. So there were a lot of moments where the skirt kept getting tangled up and I kept falling, and the entire crew were kind of just holding their breath waiting for me to say that "I'm okay!"
The pilot episode has a 96% rating on Rotten Tomatoes (a few days after it aired). There has been a lot of positive responses. How do you feel about it and did you feel satisfied after watching the pilot episode?
Yes, I was very satisfied. I feel like it's a show where each episode is worthy of watching again because you find things that you didn't see the first time. I'm fine with the fact that the Rotten Tomatoes gave one score and the audience gave another score. I really don't rest my expectations on those numbers because I feel like half of the world is like myself, we're not actually scoring things. I don't think that those numbers reflect everyone, just like every critic isn't part of that score. There are a lot of critics out there that don't feel the same as those counted in that Rotten Tomatoes score. I feel good about what I'm seeing on social media. [laughs]
Watchmen premieres same time as the U.S. every Monday at 9am (10am from 4 November) on HBO GO and HBO. Each episode encores on HBO on the same day at 10pm.
