SOURCE: Canexus Corporation
September 14, 2016 12:34 ET
CALGARY, AB--(Marketwired - September 14, 2016) -
Canexus Corporation (TSX: CUS) (the "Corporation" or "Canexus") today confirmed its intention to offer $75,000,000 of Senior Unsecured Notes (the "Notes Offering") solely in Canada by way of private placement. The Corporation also confirmed it is aware of the announcement by Chemtrade Logistics Income Fund ("Chemtrade") that it has made a non-binding proposal to acquire Canexus for $1.45 per common share in cash.
Canexus cautions that no formal or binding offer has been presented to Canexus or its shareholders, and there can be no certainty that a formal offer will be made or that a transaction will take place.
Consistent with its fiduciary duties, the Canexus board of directors, upon receipt of Chemtrade's non-binding and conditional proposal on September 6, 2016, carefully considered the financial needs of the Corporation, the alternatives available to the Corporation and the reasonable expectations of all stakeholders, including shareholders and holders of convertible debentures. Canexus has held extensive discussions with Chemtrade about potential transactions, including in recent weeks. After consideration of these discussions, as well as the advice of its financial and legal advisors, the board of directors determined that Chemtrade's proposal would not be in the best interest of the Corporation and its shareholders, and that the planned Notes Offering is in the best interest of the Corporation and its shareholders.
In reaching its conclusions, the board of directors considered the cost of the planned financing and covenants contained in the Notes Offering and the benefits of having longer-term borrowing and enhanced liquidity. The board does not believe that the financing would materially interfere with any potential value maximizing transaction.
"The successful completion of the planned financing, which has been in the works for several months, will allow us to repay the $75 million term loan maturing in May 2017. This will further enhance the Corporation's financial flexibility, strengthen our balance sheet and allow us to execute our strategy from a position of strength," said Hugh Fergusson, Chair of the board of directors of Canexus. "Following Chemtrade's announcement earlier today, we have received expressions of support for our strategy from significant shareholders of the Corporation."
Canexus does not intend to comment further on market speculation or disclose any developments unless and until it otherwise deems further disclosure is appropriate or required.

Assumption's run to a state championship was certainly teamwork at its best. Senior Hannah Skibba provided leadership while junior Mary Sigler scored plenty of points throughout the season.
But our athlete of the week, freshman Gena Grundhoffer, should be credited for stepping in when the royals needed her most.
Grundhoffer knows very well how far she's come in only her first year playing basketball at Assumption.
"When I first started the season, I wasn't starting, I was second string," Grundhoffer said. "But I worked really, really hard during practice, coach helped me with stuff. I weightlifted, did agility stuff, came in the morning, worked out."
The hard work paid off. The freshman made her way onto the starting lineup, scoring 15 points in the state semifinal victory over Newman Catholic.
But when Sigler, the team's leading scorer, fouled out at a crucial moment in the championship game, Grundhoffer stepped in.
"I was so nervous, if I would have made a mistake, I probably would have started crying on the court," Grundhoffer said. "Because all these emotions were going through me. I mean it was nerve racking to be playing in that huge arena and everyone watching you, it's on TV."
Grundhoffer put nerves aside and scored six of Assumption's final eight points, helping the royals win their first WIAA state title.
"We know what type of player she's going to be and what type of player she is. When a player stands up there and shoots free throws like she did, that's pretty big time," head coach Joe Birkhauser said.
"I can come back and be like, I was in that, and we won, and I was a big contributor and it's just amazing," Grundhoffer said.

When: Fri., Feb. 22, 8 p.m. 2013
Originally released in 1936 but still hilariously (and sadly) relevant today, Gregory LaCava's My Man Godfrey remains one of the great screwball comedies and a wicked satire of the upper class in times of economic uncertainty. William Powell stars as the titular Godfrey, a "forgotten man" on the streets who's adopted as a butler by kind-but-ditzy heiress Carole Lombard, in one of her best motormouth performances. Soon, she's fallen madly in love with the annoyed Godfrey, whose past isn't as downtrodden as everyone thinks and who has more than a few solutions for the problems of Lombard's snobby, scatterbrained family. Powell's speech about realizing how the problems of the rich seem petty when compared to the resilience of the poor and forgotten is a lesson many could still stand to learn. The classic film also has one of the best title sequences and last lines of any screwball comedy. —Zack Smith
Price: $5-7

Earlier today, SAGEClinician was unaccessible. We had exceeded the bandwidth. No one could access the website, let alone listen to the podcasts via their computers. That was a first for us.
Once I was able to increase the bandwidth (thank you tech support @ LiquidWeb) I started looking at the stats for the podcast and was a bit surprised. Obviously, SAGEClinician listeners has been growing faster than I thought and I am thrilled.
However, I did not realize the countries that are now downloading the show on their various apps. SAGEClinician is international and is now heard in the following countries:
United States, Japan, Canada, Malaysia, Ireland, United Kingdom, Italy, India, France, Peru, Australia, Philippines, Thailand, Romania, Dominican Republic and United Arab Emirates.
Thank you so very much you. I know you are listening via your various devices, apps and downloading the SAGEClinician App.
I appreciate all the ratings and reviews in iTunes and Stitcher and other podcasting platforms – this is what it takes to grow a podcast. I look forward to hearing more feedback about what you need and how I can help you become a SAGEClinician.

West Moberly, Prophet River, and Saulteau First Nations say BC Hydro has left gaps in groundwater data at dam site
FORT ST. JOHN, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Jan. 12, 2016) - West Moberly First Nations, Prophet River First Nation, and Saulteau First Nations have provided new scientific evidence on the potential impact to groundwater from the proposed Site C dam. The First Nations retained an expert in hydrogeology, Dr. Gilles Wendling, to conduct a technical evaluation of groundwater information provided by BC Hydro.
"My research," Dr. Wendling stated, "uncovered significant data gaps in the characterization of groundwater around the dam site." His analysis found the following:
Dr. Wendling's report was prepared for the consultation process between the First Nations and the provincial government about the main water licence for the Site C dam and reservoir. A written hearing process on the proposed licence recently concluded, and the First Nations met last week with government officials to present the new research and other concerns.
"We view this new information about groundwater impacts as highly significant," said Chief Roland Willson of the West Moberly First Nations, "and it seems clear that BC Hydro should have done this research at a much earlier stage. We have asked the provincial government to go back to BC Hydro for more information on groundwater conditions before making their decision on the water licence."
The water licence is one of many authorizations still required for the Site C dam. BC Hydro has already begun site preparation activities, including clearing timber and constructing temporary roads and bridges in the area of the proposed dam. Ongoing legal challenges of the Site C project by the West Moberly and Prophet River First Nations are expected to continue for at least the next several months.

Activists hold signs outside the Supreme Court March 25, 2014 in Washington, DC. The Supreme Court heard arguments today in Sebelius v. Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc if for profit corporations can refuse to cover contraceptive services in their employee's healthcare for religious beliefs. ; Credit: BRENDAN SMIALOWSKI/AFP/Getty Images
The Supreme Court appeared split during today's oral arguments weighing whether employers' religious views can exempt them from providing contraceptive services in employee health plans, as required by the Affordable Care Act.
Under the law, religious nonprofits were exempted from this requirement, but for-profit businesses were not.
The companies involved in the high court case are Hobby Lobby Stores Inc.—a chain of craft stores run by an evangelical Christian family and Conestoga Wood Specialties Corp.—a business operated by a Mennonite family that sells wooden cabinets.
These plaintiffs object to certain types of birth control which they consider to be abortion-inducing—like morning after pills and IUDs. They argue that a 1993 federal law on religious freedoms protects businesses as well as individuals—and the contraceptive mandate infringes on their religious rights.
The Obama administration and its supporters say a Supreme Court ruling in favor of the businesses could undercut laws governing immunizations, Social Security taxes and minimum wages.
The decision could hinge on perennial swing vote Anthony Kennedy, who today voiced concerns about the rights of female employees. He asked what rights women would have if employers ordered them to wear burkas—the full–length robe worn by some conservative Muslim women.
Kennedy also raised questions about the government's arguments. The health care law states that health plans must cover all forms of birth control that have been approved by the FDA at no extra charge. Kennedy challenged the government on how that logic would apply to abortions. "A profit corporation could be forced in principle to pay for abortions," he said. "Your reasoning would permit it."
Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan asked whether companies should be allowed to refuse to cover procedures like blood transfusions or vaccines, if employers had a religious objection to such medical treatments.
A decision in the case is expected by late June. How would you like to see the case play out? What do you make of the arguments on either side? Should for-profit businesses have religious rights? What might be the implications of this decision?

"If Roy G. Bivolo had seen some B&W pencil sketches, his whole life would have turned out differently." http://doctorbifrost.blogspot.com/
What I meant was, I feel like we're being forced to think that the DC universe requires the presence and supremacy of the Justice League. Each the big 5 have their own focus, and none are necessarily beholden to team chemistry the way the Titans evidently do. What if the DCU put the Titans as the top tier, and the League is regarded an old-fashioned notion as much as the Society seems to be?
Diana, Clark and Bruce can circle the wagons and call in the troops in big events that only the classic League roster can handle.
Considering how sustainable and popular the League is, especially the Big 7, I don't see them ever going that route. Especially not to give Donna, Garth and Roy a boost of importance. People would just be wondering when the League is gonna come back.
The natural progression of the Titans, and the one they appeared to be on the course of during their last successful period (the 80s) was to eventually take the League's place as the main superhero team on Earth. But there just isn't any incentive for DC to get rid o the League, and the fanbases of the bigger characters in its roster especially have no desire to get rid of them. The reason they haven't been regarded as old fashioned as the JSA is because they have yet to go out of style. Helps that they are not tied to WWII like the JSA is and that makes them more timeless and adaptable.
But that doesn't mean that other teams, or other superheroes, have to act like they are minor children dealing with their parents, or that the League has some sort of legitimate or official authority over them. Other than "might makes right," which should reflect poorly on the League.
And in this specific instance, the Titans handled things about as well as most superheroes, including the League, do. Better, I think, than Batman's JLA does.
And it seems practically insane to me that the League would put Donna under house arrest because there was an evil future version of her, or because "she might be even more powerful some day" - and yet put up with the fact that Batman invited Lobo (a remorseless genocidal murderer) to be in the JLA! Lobo has already committed his horrific crimes in the current day, not in some "possible future" - but he's the Main Man, and really, y'know, badass and cool, so who cares?
I think the Titans should have said: "We handled the threat. Donna didn't do anything wrong, and there's no proof that she will - we've all seen evil versions of our friends from the future, haven't we? We can help her deal with her doubts without locking her up, and, if Wonder Woman decides she wants to help - rather than withholding information and treating Donna with disgust and contempt, as she has done before - then that's a nice offer, and maybe Donna will take her up on it. But this is our problem and we'll deal with it."
You know, like grown-ups.

"If Roy G. Bivolo had seen some B&W pencil sketches, his whole life would have turned out differently." http://doctorbifrost.blogspot.com/
Give her a new origin. Have her born from a star that fell unto Themyscira.
I like the Titan seed origin best myself. It's unique, and has a very good reason to make her powerful enough to take on Wonder Woman in a fist fight.
I think whatever you do with Donna Troy, she has to have been an American teen-age girl. In the Teen Titans, there was always a difference between her and Starfire or Raven--because they were exotic women who didn't fit in with regular American culture. Whereas, Donna was the hometown girl. I can see her having had training with the Amazons as a youth, but early on in her life she has to come to America and find her home there.
"I am a part of all that I have met"
Yeah, that's part of why I like the Titan seed origin. She's born and raised like a human, then one day finds out she's actually not. It doesn't change WHO she is, merely WHAT she is.

San Mateo County will extend a moratorium on spraying herbicides along 315-miles of county-maintained roads until March 13 while figuring out how to enact recommendations for better managing roadside vegetation, a subcommittee of the Board of Supervisors decided Tuesday, Jan. 17.
The moratorium will not affect roadsides maintained by the California Department of Transportation, although Caltrans does not spray in counties that have adopted permanent bans on herbicide spraying. In November Caltrans broadcast spraying herbicide along a 15-mile swath of Highway 84, despite protests from nearby residents and county and Bay Area officials.
Supervisors Dave Pine and Don Horsley, who are the two members of the supervisors' Environmental Quality Committee, heard from the authors of a Roadside Vegetation Management Study at the meeting.
The supervisors agreed to ask Public Works Director Jim Porter to return to the March 13 meeting of the full Board of Supervisors with a work plan for putting the study's recommendations into effect. In the meantime a spraying moratorium that started in July, when the consultant's report was authorized, will continue.
The report, prepared by Baefsky and Associates of Orinda, recommends the county start following its own Integrated Pest Management and Water Pollution Prevention guidelines in managing roadside weeds by using pesticides as a last resort and using the least toxic and least risky pesticides available.
While the report recommends the county make significant short- and long-term changes in how it treats roadside weeds, it does not completely rule out spraying of herbicides. Instead it recommends replacing "broadcast spraying" in which wide swaths of roadside are uniformly sprayed, with "targeted spraying" in which specific plants and areas are sprayed.
Such targets could include invasive plants like pampas grass that are squeezing out native plants in parts of the county. In fact, the supervisors gave county workers permission to resume spraying on pampas grass around the Half Moon Bay Airport while the moratorium is still in effect.
County residents are afraid that herbicides end up in their water supply and soil. Jo Chamberlain of Half Moon Bay said that many county residents get their drinking water from local creeks.
"Everything that hits the roadway and the roadsides ends up in these people's drinking water," and in the water they use on their gardens, she said.
Ms. Chamberlain said she favors another of the reports' recommendations, encouraging low-growing native grasses on roadsides to replace invasive weeds. "Put out seed and grow these beautiful grasses," she said.
In June of 2010 the Board of Supervisors voted to try to reduce the use of pesticides (herbicides are considered a pesticide as the plants they kill are unwanted) by using integrated pest management techniques in all county operations. They cited concerns about water quality and the effects on wildlife, including some endangered species.
A plan to phase out the use of herbicides and move toward mowing only over a period of 10 years was suggested. But residents of unincorporated county areas where broadcast spraying takes place protested that 10 years was too long too wait. The report was commissioned in response to those complaints.
Among the 315-miles of county-maintained roads that had areas viewed and analyzed as part of the report are many in the Almanac circulation area, including Alpine Road, Sand Hill Road, Whiskey Hill Road, La Honda Road, Old La Honda Road, Kings Mountain Road, Canada Road and Skyline Boulevard.
Half of the county roads are currently mowed only with no herbicide spraying; the other half are sprayed, with some sprayed and mowed. The report concluded that while the county currently does a good job of maintaining sight lines and keeping roads fire safe, it has room for improvement in several areas, including drainage, keeping plants from growing into the roads, and getting rid of invasive or noxious weeds.
The county needs to also improve its relationship with residents concerned about use of herbicides and make sure it is following state, federal and its own regulations, the report says.
The report recommends "implementing an Integrated Pest Management program for roadside weeds that incorporates the best elements of the current Spray-Mow program and more precisely targets specific weeds, modifies where, how and with what spraying and mowing occurs, uses alternative treatment methods, improves communication and takes the next steps towards licensing, implementing best management practices, increasing safety measures for roadside users and improving communication between staff and residents of unincorporated San Mateo County."

Negation, as I've mentioned in previous posts, is usually ambiguous because it takes scope over different bits of the sentence it's in. Here's Chris Maslanka's explanation of the two meanings:
Incidentally, there's a long bit in Alice Through The Looking Glass (or the other one) where a messenger pouts that 'nobody walks faster than I do' and the king says 'he can't, or he'd be here already'. Lewis Carroll was keen on logic and semantics jokes.
After some back and forth with my colleague (& friend) Christina, we think we've translated the two meanings into what looks like gibberish to non-linguists, but is actually a formal representation of the meaning. The notation explains how the bits of the sentence interact to give two different meanings from the same set of words in the same order. I've translated them underneath into increasingly more idiomatic English.
The meaning Theresa means, presumably, is this:
∀x∀y.[NO.DEAL(x) & BAD.DEAL(y) -> x > y]
"For all x and for all y, if x is no deal and y is a bad deal, then x is better than y"Whereas the meaning that's much more salient to me, and which made the sentence seem quite bizarre, is this one:
or "If x is no deal and y is a bad deal, then x is better than y"
or "Having no deal at all is better than having a bad deal".)
~∃x.[DEAL(x) & ∃y.[BAD.DEAL(y) & x > y] ]
"There is no x such that x is a deal and there is some y such that y is a bad deal and x is better than y"Incidentally, I'm pretty sure that this particular type of negation scope ambiguity is regional - it seems less obvious to US speakers (see this post and the comments). But that's a purely anecdotal observation so do let me know if you have anecdata to add to that.
or "There is no deal which is better than a bad deal"
or "A bad deal is the best deal".)

Interesting facts you not have known about Stephen Hawking
The 74-year-old British theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking can be considered the most well-known scientist of the modern age. He received world-wide recognition for his contribution to quantum physics research, time and black hole theories. He is also the author of the book 'A Brief History of Time'. He also suffers from a rare, slow-progressing form of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
In spite of the fact that the scientist's body has become almost completely paralyzed over the years, his mind remains as sharp as ever. Even now Hawking continues his work on different physics theories.
Here are some facts you may not have known about Hawking – the man considered the sharpest mind of our age:
One of the worst students in class
Hard to believe, but when he was nine, Hawking had some of the worst grades in his class. He did manage to improve them later on, but only to an average level. In spite of that, however, teachers and his classmates seemed to understand that there was the next genius among them, which is proved by the fact that the young boy soon earned the nickname 'Einstein'.
The boy was a genius when it came to mathematics. He was especially interested in chemistry. After graduating from middle school, Hawking studied at Oxford University College and Cambridge University, where he earned Doctor's degree in cosmology in 1966.
Hawking was promised an early death at the age of 21
At the age of 60, Hawking started showing symptoms of motor neurone disease – amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, which inevitably led to paralysis. After diagnosing the illness in 1963, doctors told the 21-year-old Hawking that he would live a maximum of two and a half years. This grim prediction did not come to pass – Hawking celebrated his 74th birthday on 8 January 2016.
In 1985, Hawking contracted pneumonia. After multiple operations, doctors performed tracheotomy, and he lost the ability to speak.
His friends got him a special speech synthesizer device, which was later attached to his wheelchair. His right cheek is the only part of his body that retains some ability to move. A special sensor is attached to it to help the brilliant scientist to move his wheelchair and interact with the world.
Promoter of science, writer and pop culture luminary
In spite of his disease, Hawking take active part in scientific and public life. He also regularly gives interviews.
In 2007, he realized his dream – performed a zero gravity flight in a specialized aircraft, which helped him leave his chair, if only for a brief moment.
Hawking is also the author of multiple world-popular books on science. All of them are translated in many languages and have sold millions.
What is interesting is that Hawking's ex-wife Jane wrote memoirs. Based on these memoirs, a film was made – a romantic drama 'The Theory of Everything'. It tells the story of a woman's relationship with her former husband, his accomplishments in physics and the hardships that followed after he was diagnosed with motor neurone disease.
Hawking is also known in pop culture is a genius who has achieved much in spite of the state of his body. He appeared in Star Trek series, was portrayed as a character in The Simpsons cartoon and even took part in the recording of Pink Floyd's song 'Keep Talking'.
Latest accomplishment – cycle of programmes 'Think like Stephen Hawking'
One of Hawking's latest achievements is the creation of the 'Think like Stephen Hawking' cycle of programmes, which was produced in cooperation with National geographic. The programme shows how regular people can think like geniuses and understand the way how the biggest scientific accomplishments of mankind came to be.
The programme will show large-scale experiments and massive demonstrations to help decipher the secrets behind evolutionary biology, astrophysics and quantum mechanics. Each episode will have three volunteers. They will be asked to think like the brightest minds in history to come up with answers to important questions that interest mankind.
Father of three children and twice divorced
In 1965, before the illness had taken its hold over his body, Hawking married philology students Jane Wilde. The couple had three children – two sons and a daughter. In 1990, after 25 years together, the couple divorced.
Some say Jane could no longer take Hawking's condition and his distancing from his family because of many caretakers and assistants. She later married musician Jonathan Jones. Doctors predicted a soon death for Hawking, so Jane started looking for a man who would take care of her and her children.
Because of the complicated situation with his family, Stephen moved to a different home with one of his caretakers – Elaine Mason. The two married each other in September 1995. But even this marriage fell apart after 12 years.
Violent second wife
One of the scientist's caretakers says that Elaine Mason married Hawking out of personal interests – Hawking owned a house worth GBP 750,000 in Cambridge and his income from books reached USD 2 million.
There is information that suggests Elaine was even physically violent towards him – he was hospitalized multiple times with bruises and broken bones. Nevertheless, Hawking always denied having received those injuries from Elaine.
After his divorce with Elaine, Hawking restored friendly relationships with Jane, their children and three grandchildren.
Denies the existence of God, but believes in aliens
In his interview to Spanish El Pais, Hawking mentioned not having faith in the existence of a God, adding that all natural phenomena can be explained scientifically.
«I use the word, God, in an impersonal sense, like Einstein did, for the laws of nature. The laws of science are sufficient to explain the origin of the universe. It is not necessary to invoke God,» – the scientist said.
Hawking believes the existence of aliens is completely possible. In addition, aliens could be hostile and could try to invade and colonize the Earth. According to Hawking, the arrival of aliens to Earth could have more dire consequences than when Christopher Columbus discovered America.
Hawking also sees a great degree of danger in computers – he is confident that in the next hundred years they will become smarter than humans. With that, there is a possibility that artificial intelligence could turn on mankind and enslave us.
Urges to find a new home for mankind in the Universe
The famous physicist also calls for more active research of the cosmos. He believes the risk of Earth dying as a result of some massive catastrophe is very real, and growing. With that, it would be best t start looking for a new home in the wide expanses of the Universe.
Among the scenarios that could result in the extermination of all mankind, Hawking mentions nuclear war caused by uncontrolled development of nuclear technologies, global warming and artificially created viruses.

The feel of the house is smart, modern, country with plenty of colour in the mix. Owner Hanna and her three energetic boys, stay as often as she can and have introduced delights from far-flung travels. Two double bedrooms have finely dressed beds in feather and down, glorious watery views; one the pool and terrace, one the estuary.
The house is a bright and roomy 1970's bungalow, recently renovated. It's colourful, contemporary and theres's nothing that's overly precious or delicate, which parents of busy children will well appreciate. It has a large pool which is heated from Easter to end September.
Amongst the large grassy lawns, the kids will find dens, swings and a wooden playhouse.
We love having it as part of our houses to rent out, because of it's location near bustly, boaty Lymington is a few minutes walk away – or even more fun, walk to the ferry terminal, and catch the train across the harbour bridge and cut off 10 mins walk.

When David Wright signed a long-term contract extension with the Mets, he bought into general manager Sandy Alderson's plan to propel the team back to contending in the National League, beginning in 2014.
And though ace Matt Harvey will miss the season following elbow surgery and the team's payroll flexibility to woo free agents remains opaque, Wright says he is optimistic the front office will field an improved Mets team as soon as next season.
"I'm expecting us to field a much better team than we have in years past," he said Monday afternoon on Mike Francesa's WFAN show. "There are expectations. Does that mean that there's certain dollar signs that I want to spend? Of course not. We've proven that we haven't been able to get it done these last few years, so obviously, some upgrades are needed. I'm like a lot of Mets fans, where you obviously want to make this team better, and I think that Sandy wants that also, and that's just a matter of balancing out between going out and spending money, making trades, trying to keep some of this young pitching … in the organization."
Wright said despite the team not making a major splash in the opening weeks of the Hot Stove season, there's still plenty of time.
"Obviously for us, the offseason has started out somewhat slow, he said. "We signed Chris Young, but I think things start heating up come Winter Meetings. Last year, when I signed my extension it was at the Winter Meetings and when I got down there and saw all the action going on, that's when things started heating up for a lot of teams, and that's what I'm hoping we go into."
Wright, who signed an extension that keeps him under contract through 2020, acknowledged the Mets' past few "ugly" seasons were difficult to endure. But he thinks the rut — an average of 75 wins the past five season, with four fourth-place finishes before last season's third-place result — will make the franchise's turnaround all the sweeter.
"It's tough," he said. "Being a competitor, being ultra-competitive, it's just in my DNA. Just as equally important to that is, you want to experience the good, the winning. Unfortunately, I've only had one season of that, where we've been to the postseason, within a couple of runs of going to the World Series. It's important to me that we go through this down period that we've been through, and everybody points to the winter of 2014 when we're going to start getting things turned around. For me, that's going to be the ultimate gratification, when we go through those lean years and get things going in the right direction, and I get a chance to be a part of that, through the good, the bad and the ugly.
"I'm not here to sugarcoat anything — it's been ugly the last few years. I want to be one of those main reasons why we get things turned around going in that direction. I've had a little taste of what it's like to win in New York, and it's addicting. It's something that you want to get back to, so that's why I wanted to stay here. That's why I believe that the plan that we have moving forward is going to be a successful one. I'm really going to enjoy sitting back after my career is over with, and having gone through what I've gone through, to get this thing turned around and to win here, it's going to be extra-special."

In the film's opening, we meet Stuart, a young, albeit somewhat antisocial and eccentric, scientist played by Leiv Schreiber. Meg Ryan plays Stuart's former girlfriend, an ambitious Manhattan ad exec, Kate McKay. It's not at all difficult for the viewer to see why these two are exes, as they quarrel back and forth about a lost item Kate was trying to retrieve from the uncooperative Stuart. Meg displays some interesting range here as the pair are both rather toxic personalities. But stay tuned, things are going to change!
Enter Hugh Jackman as Prince Leopold Mountbatten, the Duke of Albany in the year 1876. While the character exudes the respect, humor, charm and chivalry of the era, Leopold is less concerned with his place in the nobility as he is with the advancements of science. In the present day, Stuart has discovered through his calculations, a portal near the Brooklyn Bridge that takes him back to 1876. When Stuart first encounters Leopold, it is at a dedication ceremony for the bridge tower. Leopold observes Stuart observing him, and in the ensuing chase, he travels through the same portal and he lands in the present day at the same site as his home – which is now the apartment building where Stuart and Kate live. This disruption in the space-time continuum resulted in the present day elevators malfunctioning, as Leopold would have eventually perfected his invention, and the tenants on the apartment building are resigned to climb stairs for much of the film, pending extensive repairs,
Kate lives one floor above her ex-boyfriend. Due to the elevator malfunction, when Stuart leaves the apartment to take his dog outside, he falls down the elevator shaft and is hospitalized. In the meantime, Kate drops by Stuart's place and meets Leopold. She is in a hurry to get to work and Leopold approvingly refers to her as a career woman, but Kate takes no notice of him except to tell him to walk the dog. Shortly thereafter, Kate's brother, an unemployed actor, arrives for an extended visit and befriends Leopold, who becomes increasingly taken with Kate. None of them are aware that Stuart is in the hospital, recuperating from his injures and desperate to escape so he can return Leopold to his proper time, before the portal closes again. Stuart begins talking out loud about his scientific discoveries and the attending physician decides his patient must be psychotic, and refuses to discharge him, sending Stuart to a psychiatric ward instead.
This middle section of the film continues to feature some well crafted development of all four characters. While Stuart is trying to talk his way out of the hospital, we see more of the scientific zeal that drives him, as opposed to the shallow jerk he appeared to be in the beginning. There is a moment in the film when Stuart tells Kate that while he wasn't the right guy for her, his purpose all along was to help her get to the right guy. He's also friends with Kate's brother. Meg Ryan's Kate also displays different facets as the movie progresses. Perfect as the career ladder climber, Kate becomes more and more sympathetic as the audience learns of the stress she contends with in order to make a living.
Hugh Jackman commands every inch of screen where Leopold appears with true nobility, and some of the best scenes feature his 19th century character intersecting with present day New York. Especially effective is the scene where Leopold dispenses relationship advice to Kate's brother, who also begins to display a less shallow aspect of his character. The Leopold character was so well done, I suspect he became the basis for the Prince in "Enchanted."
In the scene where Kate is melting into the steady arms of Leopold, they are listening to a neighbor across the street, playing "Moon River: as he does, every night before he turns the lights out at midnight. it's not too hard to see what the director was going for here. And yes, Meg is almost as much the tiny sprite with staggering spirit that was Audrey Hepburn, and Hugh Jackman isn't a bad stand in for hunky George Peppard. A touching moment of tribute, at the very least.
Even if the time travel elements are not perfectly executed, the stories of the main characters are eventually woven into a logical conclusion, with some perfectly delicious touches along the way, and for Ryan fans, this is a movie not to be missed. Though it's about time travel, what Kate and Leopold best accomplishes is to capture that need to look back to our younger selves, and to that world of possibility.
Meg shines here in another movie with fantastical elements that work magic on real life situations with passion, heart and soul. There simply is no collaboration with Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks that does not sparkle with chemistry and wit.
Hank's character, Joe Banks, has a dead end job in a plant near his home in Staten Island. Like so many people across America, working a thankless job for an abusive boss, he is slowly dying inside, as work is something to be dreaded but which brings a paycheck. The corporate machine was already beginning to use and discard human beings in the name of profits, branding and more profits by then, and the filmmakers insightfully highlight this reality with dramatic grace. The fact that the trend has continued makes the creative forces behind this film seem even more insightful and brilliant a quarter of a century later.
The link between stress and illness was known but not given much attention. In the movie, Banks is driven to see his physician over his chronic, no doubt stress-induced, ailments and gets the odd diagnosis of a "brain cloud" and less than 6 months to live. "Live well" the doctor advised.
Naturally, Banks quits his job the next day, deciding to live his remaining months as he wishes.
Banks makes a date with a cute secretary from work, played by Meg Ryan, and the pleasant evening ends on a discordant note when he tells her he is dying. She flees, after apologizing and telling him she can't handle it. The next day, Banks is at home in his apartment when the knock comes on the door. A wealthy businessman, played by Lloyd Bridges, calls on Joe to offer him a luxurious lifestyle for the next couple of weeks, in exchange for jumping into a volcano on a remote S. Pacific island to appease the natives so that the businessman can mine the island for its natural resources, used to manufacture his products. Joe, who has nothing to lose, accepts the offer and spends the next day on a spending spree in the city, complete with chauffeured limo, before flying out to California to board a boat headed for the island.
Meg Ryan reappears briefly as one of the tycoon's daughters, the redheaded, restless Angelica, meeting him at the airport, who escorts him to the dock to meet her half-sister, the skipper of the vessel – blonde, outspoken Patricia. They set sail with Joe bidding goodbye to Meg as Angelica, as the boat sails away, with Meg as Patricia at the helm.
I find this fascinating as a movie device and it begs the question: Why they didn't get different actresses (although Meg does an admirable job appearing to be three different people)? If the goal was to showcase the overlooked range of Meg Ryan, it works beautifully. There won't be any doubt in a viewer's mind that Meg was capable of much more than her more famous roles.
Or, perhaps, it's because of that sentiment expressed by Joe, that he has seen her somewhere before. This has to be the world's leading opening line yet it's delivered as only Hanks can, as if it's a unique statement and you're hearing it for the very first time. Certainly it makes you ponder what it all means anyway. If it's a cliche, why is it so? Do we all unconsciously look for someone who reminds us of someone from our past? Having that mindset makes it easy to appreciate how quickly Joe and Patricia become bonded on the voyage, and through their misadventures on the island.
Although the movie is now a cult classic, I will not give any further spoilers in case anyone out there, like me, had either not seen it or not seen it in many years. Joe Versus the Volcano will have you hooked from beginning to end. Then again – so will Kate and Leopold.

I suppose this is an embodiment of my one and only New Year's resolution.
Multiple times during this school year I had an urge to share the project or the question and I've reached the point where I want to create the space to do it. I am not certain how often I will be able to update; maintaining the required class blog generally drains my blogging energy. But I have a few projects coming that I am excited about and I hope some of them will end up here.
Happy Holidays!


text: Identifying new approaches to develop energy-saving methods and tap into new renewable energy sources is set to be the greatest challenge of the 21st Century. Thermoelectric (TE) energy is one of the approaches that offers great promise as it can be used in multiple applications for power generation and refrigeration. It can create electricity from waste heat at any scale, it can significantly improve energy efficiency at a medium industrial scale, including significantly improving vehicular weight and emissions, and it can even generate electricity or cooling at the nanoscale. For instance, it could potentially be used to convert body heat into cooling devices in clothing or to charge a cell phone. Therefore, there are extremely high hopes for this technology.
