The index page for the 1954 French flap section of this website is here.
Reference number for this case: 30-Sep-54-Lantéfontaine-les-Baroches. Thank you for including this reference number in any correspondence with me regarding this case.
In the regional newspaper L'Est Républicain for September 26, 1954, this case is presented as possibly related to the craft used in the context of the great aerial maneuvers that were taking place at that time.
The newspaper said that on September 23, 1954, dozens of workers of the Sidelor plant, living in the region of Lantefontaine-les-Baroches in the Meurthe-et-Moselle department, said they saw in the sky six "flying cigars".
One of them said that between 4:30 and 5:30 in the morning, while it was still dark and that these workers were going to take the bus to the Homecourt factory, they first saw two cigar-shaped craft in the sky. They saw clearly the glow changing from red to orange, with sizes that increased and decreased alternately.
"Soon, four other craft came to join the first two, and all remained a moment perfectly immobile, to finally disappear instantly", the worker told.
The newspaper indicated that these statements were confirmed by several other people.
In the 1970s, ufologists Charles Garreau and Raymond Lavier, who had other newspaper clippings, gave the same information, adding that this had been seen from the roads converging to the Sidelor factories, with dozens of workers returning to their work by bicycle, most of whom had dismounted to better observe the first two machines that did not move. Four other cigars had soon appeared, heading in the direction of the first two and stopping "short" when arriving near them.
The six "cigars" had remained motionless for a few minutes, and the anxiety had won over some of the workers, one of them saying "they're going to land!" while the others laughed, but put a foot on the pedals again, ready to flee.
One of the witnesses said: "With a sense of relief, we saw them move, rise, and disappear in a few seconds." He and many of his comrades arrived a few minutes late at the factory.
[Ref. afp1:] AGENCE FRANCE PRESSE:
Several tens of workmen of Sidélor living the area of Lantéfontaine-les-Baroches (the Meurthe et Moselle), claim to have seen in the sky six flying cigars between 4:30 and 5:30.
[Ref. ler1:] "L'EST REPUBLICAIN" NEWSPAPER:
JOEUF. (From our newsroom). -- The area of the East will end up invaded by beings coming from one does not know where, if one believes all the witnesses who, for a few days, have claimed to have seen here and there, cigars and flying saucers, unless they are craft used during the air army manoeuvres which are currently going on.
Anyway, yesterday morning again, several tens of workmen of Sidelor, living in the area of Lantéfontaine-les-Baroches (the Meurthe-et-Moselle), claim to have seen six "flying cigars" in the sky.
"Between 4 hours 30 and 5 hours 30, one of them told us, we were about to take the bus to reach the factory of Homecourt, when we first saw in the sky two cigar-shaped craft. It was dark, and yet we clearly saw the gleams changing from the red to the orange, whose dimensions grew and decreased alternatively.
"A little later four other craft came to join the two first, and all remained perfectly motionless one moment, to finally disappear instantaneously.
These statements are confirmed by several people. We pour them into the file of the unexplained and extraordinary appearances, which must swell prodigiously in this moment.
Yesterday morning, also around 5 hours, witnesses worthy of faith saw in Homecourt, above the district of the Petite-fin, at high altitude, what they took for a "flying cigar".
Nevertheless, it could be, as some people think they can say it, a phenomenon of reverberation of a pocket casting on the mining dump of Sainte-Marie. The luminous reflections, projected on a cloud, could have produced the image of a "cigar".
DOLE (from our correspondent). -- Wednesday evening, two young people from Dole who were on the walk of the Philippe garden, were witnesses of a strange phenomenon.
We went to interview one of them. It is Mr. Jackie Chapoutot, aged 17, domiciled street of the Dame-d'Ounan, and working at the Delbost factory in Dole.
He gave us the following statement: "I walked in the Philippe garden Wednesday around 08:30 p.m., in company of a comrade, Mr. André Lacour, aged 15, pupil at the modern technical college of Dôle.
Suddenly, our attention was drawn by a strange noise, similar to a whistling sound, much less loud however than that of the jet planes. We then saw, in the sky, a sharp gleam of green color, which came from the North-East and moved to the South-west.
This appearance which would have the size of a soccer ball was followed of an incandescent trail. The object passed at sharp pace and disappeared in the direction of the Idéal-Standard factory.
We had hardly recovered from our surprise when the craft appeared again above Dôle. It remained motionless at the level of the grand-pont for approximately 4 seconds, during which we clearly distinguished its spherical form, then it set out again suddenly on the "side by which it had come".
Other people reportedly also witnessed this phenomenon which left these two young people very perplexed.
[Ref. vmr1:] "VAR-MATIN - REPUBLIQUE" NEWSPAPER:
Bayonne, September 25. -- Residents of Bayonne claim to have seen, this afternoon, very high in the sky, in the north-eastern direction, three mysterious objects of light color, contrasting on the pure sky at this hour there.
A policeman, Mr. Carrions, who was in the district of the Halles, observed these three motionless machines, laid out in triangle, of slightly oval shape. They had, he said, the dimension of a rugby ball and appeared to be at a considerable height.
Passers by stated to have seen the same luminous objects in other places.
In the Meurthe et Moselle
Several tens of workmen of "Sidelor" living the area of Lantefontaine-les-Baroches (Meurthe et Moselle) claim to have seen in the sky, six flying cigars, between 04:30 and 05:30. "We initially saw, they stated, two "cigars" then four other apparatuses came to join the two first. All remained perfectly motionless one moment to finally disappear instantaneously." These statements are confirmed by several other people.
In Le Puy
Mrs Chaumard, living in the La Girette district in Le Puy, saw in the sky, a machine having the shape of a cigar, reddish at an end. Silent and appearing motionless, she managed to observe the machine during nearly a quarter of an hour, then the "cigar" suddenly disappeared by taking altitude.
In the sky of the Auvergne
Clermont Ferrand. -- Six residents of Langeac (the Haute Loire) saw a white gleam moving in the sky in direction of the ground.
A resident of Gelles (the Puy de Dôme), Mrs widow Melles claims to have seen in the sky, a luminous machine of lengthened form "of the cigar kind". The craft moved silently. A resident of Clermont Ferrand gathered mushrooms: he saw in the sky at high altitude, a luminous trail "slightly pink colored".
Rugby players, training in the Vichy stadium, saw a flying cigar.
Near La Rochelle
La Rochelle. -- At La Charron, (the Charente Maritime), three fishermen and a a customs observer state to have seen, during one of these last nights, a formation of flying saucers moving very low and flying over the shore, before disappearing.

of a rugby ball and appeared to be at a considerable height."
In the Meurthe-and-Moselle, several tens of workmen of "Sidelor", living the area of Lantefontaine-les-Baroches (M.-and-M.). claim to have seen six flying cigars between 04:30 and 05:00 in the sky.
"We initially saw, they said, two "cigars", then afterwards, four other craft came to join the two first. All remained motionless one moment for finally disappearing instantaneously."
In Le Puy, Mrs. Chaumard, resident of the district of La Girète, saw in the sky a machine having the shape of a cigar reddish glowing at an end, silent and appearing motionless. She managed to observe the machine during nearly a quarter of hour, then the "cigar" suddenly disappeared by taking altitude.
The same observations were made by six inhabitants of Langeac (Haute-Loire) and several inhabitants of Gelles (Puy-de-Dome) or Clermont-Ferrand.
In this area, rugby players training at the Vichy stadium saw a "flying cigar".
From Villefranche-of-Rouergue in Aveyron, it is reported that an owner of Vabre-Tézac, Mr. Marre, saw a yellowish mass of color which moved away towards the south, without leaving behind any trace of smoke.
The attention of Mr. Marre had been drawn by the noise of an engine.
Other inhabitants of the locality also heard, from the inside of their house, the same noise, but not having come out, they did not see the weird "mass."
[Ref. ler2:] "L'EST REPUBLICAIN" NEWSPAPER:
After the flight of saucers over the White House the investigation revealed that radar sets were mistaken.
Thousands of people have actually seen the "bright objects" wander in the sky in a puzzling manner. Certainly, on September 28, the "saucer" seen above Mt. Revard by Dr Martinet and fifteen other people was a flock of starlings. The good doctor admitted his mistake the next day when an aviator, Michel Guyard, came to reveal that he also was intrigued by this glittering whirl, but that as he approached it with his plane he merely frightened peaceful birds - as a result, the perfect disc they formed was disrupted.
It is impossible, however, to explain other reports of observed phenomena as collective hallucination... although it is fair to note at first that these "saucers" appeared with extremely diverse aspects.
In the few hundred and fifty cases we have been cataloged in France, they looked round or oblong balls of fire, matt or bright, big or small, blue, green, red, yellow or white, naked or surrounded of a ring, noisy or silent, producing sparks (or smoke) or leaving no wake, when they did not have the form of discs, cigars or half cigars.
They were seen day and night, although their occupants preferred the troubled hours of dusk. They were especially seen evolving in every manners: slowly or quickly, horizontally or vertically, in a straight line or in a broken line.
How to sort all this?
Could there be so many different saucers with so many different origins? If they come to us from outer space, are there so many other inhabited worlds... and who are interested in us?
In truth, nothing precise could be learned of the reported sightings and often witness of the same phenomenon does not agree among themselves as to the size, shape and color of the object. So we are at the same step as the Americans in 1952, when the new radar set installed just a few days ago in Washington detected flying "saucers", finally placing the matter in the field of science. This device could not be wrong and played the role of arbitrator in an unexpected but worrying manner.
Specialists on duty assured the survey in their new premises, when one fine morning the watchman was startled: a luminous echo appeared on the screen although no aircraft was reported. They first thought - it had happened - that a commercial aircraft had violated regulations of air navigation and was flying over the forbidden zone of the White House. They alerted "Shooting Star" squadrons, which took off immediately. But the "object" fainted before the arrival of the jet fighters. Thus the thing had fled at such an unimaginable speed, showing by that the existence of these objects zigzaging at thousands of kilometers an hour before dissolving in the sky. The emotion climbed and it was officially decided to strengthen monitoring devices. The order was not useless, because a few days later, a new alert was given.
Jet fighters take off and rush at the full power of their reactors to the spot of the sky indicated by their radio, but arrived there, they announced again: - The sky is empty.
This time radar men jump on their feet. The bright spot is on their screen, indisputable and provocative. The small spots of the "Shooting Star[s]" come close to covering it. Saucers, cigars and fireballs.
- Attention, you are in contact, scream the radar experts. But the fighters rush at 800 km/h in a still desert sky, with perhaps at this place a slightly milky transparency.
Are the famous "objects" merely ectoplasm?
Once again public opinion is moved. Letters reach the U.S. Air Force to ask "not to irritate the visitors." "For God's sake, do not shoot at the saucers" implores a correspondent. Technicians, of course, do not believe in ghosts. A new commission is appointed. For six months, aerodynamic engineers, astronomers, meteorologists and scientists of all disciplines having some possible connection with the "saucers" study dozens of cases. And their conclusion sudden bursts, amazing but indisputable, freeing America of a part of its fear, by revealing the radar, too, was wrong. Each time a ghost image scored the fighters, meteorologists found in altitude, the presence of a layer of cold air between two layers of warm air. The density (and index of refraction) of air varying with the temperature, this "sandwich" had acted like a mirror to the radioelectrical airwaves and airplanes were guided, after a descent as fast as the rise, towards sheds or metal structures on the ground. The phenomenon can also reflect the sun in the day and the moon and the lights of a city at night. Often, the picture is double or triple, each separation surface playing a distinct role; "Saucers in pairs."
Certainly temperature inversions do not explain everything. But US experts feel that they were responsible for nearly 80% of the reported luminous apparitions beyond the Atlantic, and many mysterious machines seen in France can probably be allotted to them.
It may be noted, in chronological order, two parallel gleams in Antibes, in August 1949, two silver balls in Poitiers, May 10, 1952, two white discs at Roche-sur-Yon, twelve days later, "numerous red saucers" flying in zigzag, two by two, on October 17, 1952 in Oloron-Sainte-Marie (the radar of Mont-de-Marsan perceives its echo like its American brothers). Many other cases could be cited to the most recent: last September 24 three oval objects were reported in Bayonne, three in Charente-Maritime and six "cigar" evolving two by two in Lantefontaine, Lorraine.
Cases of isolated phenomena are even more numerous. - What! cry the disappointed "pro-saucerists", so, it was only this? Honestly see that we find in this category of events most characteristics reported by the "witnesses": blurry lights, sometimes surrounded by a halo, appearance and disappearance (with the complicity of clouds or because of the fading of lighting conditions) and above developments as capricious as fast. The surface of separation of two air layers are not still, of course; it empties and oscillates under the influence of currents in the atmosphere and the image is rejected from one corner of the sky to another.
It is regrettable that comments are usually too vague to allow the technician to decide with authority; but only immaterial manifestations may be gifted the dizzying, instantaneous speeds, lent to "saucers" in which most cases. Whatever their origin, terrestrial or extraterrestrial visitors, they would be subject to the laws of the universal gravitation (and consequently the acceleration), that all the planets in all galaxies undergo. Whatever the power of their machinery and engineering, "Saucers" could not overcome their own weight. And all the magnetic currents or other cosmic rays they are deemed to use may make immaterial beings. But the meteorologists still have in their arsenal the noctilucent clouds that Vestine and Störmer think to be composed of very fine cosmic dust from outer space. These meteors are at 75 or 80 kilometers high, becoming brighter as the night goes on and present their maximum brightness at about midnight. The very serious "International Atlas of clouds "indicates that they may be driven by the powerful air currents prevailing in these altitudes, at speeds of 50 to 250 meters per second, or 180 to 900 kms. Let's recall in our turn that it only takes a small cumulus, although classic, but hidden in the night, so that the "saucer" vanishes and reappears.
- But, protesting the "pro-saucerists" you still have demolished only simplistic and disappointing sightings with this argument. They can rest assured there are other answers, more varied and also safe, to the most amazing events.
Barrels, discs, pots, headlights and flying balls are on the verge of dethroning the saucers and other cigars.
The time is gone, by far, when an ordinary "saucer" crossed the blue sky at high pace and disappeared over the horizon leaving a bluish trail. Since then, there were "cigars" which, together with their shape, generally took shimmering colors allowing witnesses not be wrong.
All this is outdated, if we judge by the recent observations made in France by people whose good faith may not be in doubt. The mysterious craft that arouse so much controversies and are poised to discord in many families between those who believe and those who disbelieve it, now take extremely varied and pleasing forms. As to colors, they turn from red to yellow through orange to any possible colors and halftones. Thus we have seen over the last twenty-four hours in the sky of France, several discs, a large headlight, a big ball, a pot, a crescent, and a barrel, a big star, not to mention the "saucers" and other "cigars" whose enumeration would be too long.
The disks attracted the attention both of a Le Havre taxi driver, over Deauville, and a Lyon journalist south of the Basilica of Fourvière. In both cases, they were red-orange colored and shiny. They disappeared after ten minutes. The big headlight was moving over Aurec-sur-Loire (Haute-Loire) at high speed by issuing a orange-red light beam also. "When it disappeared", witnesses, Mr. and Mrs. Teyssier, of Saint-Etienne, said, "a second craft, similar to the first and appearing to follow it disappeared in the same direction."
In Epinac-les-Mines (Saône-et-Loire), drivers, puzzled, stopped at the roadside to follow the slow and graceful maneuvers of a big ball of light whose color, unfortunately, is not specified.
The pot and the crescent troubled the tranquility of many northerners. The first, in Ablain-Saint-Nazaire, turned on itself and freed a reddish glow. The second, in the sky of Lievin, hovered for a few minutes before splitting in two. That is when the upper part was standing still as the other landed in a field between two haystacks, then suddenly flew to join again the part remained in the air!...
It was night in Montecreau -Villebois-Lavalette (Charente) when Mr. Jean Allary, 22, saw by the light of the headlight of his motorcycle, a kind of 1.80-meters-high barrel and nails of golden nails! It swung on the roadside and fled when the witness approached. The next day, at the place indicated by Mr. Allary, witnesses spotted traces of about seven meters in length in the grass by the roadside.
It is the Clermont-Ferrand residents who, today, had the last word with the big star changing from the white to green and yellow to red, which, driven by a rotary movement, left behind an orange plume Monday night at 7 p.m. in the sky of Clermont-Ferrand.
These celestial phenomena result, we have said it, in heated controversy. Thus a Professor of the University of Bonn, Joseph Meurès, said during a conference: "The book by American author Key Hoc [sic, Keyhoe] on flying saucers is not even worth the paper on which it is printed." Mr. Duneau Fletcher, vice president of the Astronomical Association of Kenya has another opinion: "The existence of saucers" is not to question, he believes, very experienced observers have seen them across the globe. And Mr. Fletcher gives his little idea on the question: "Visitors from another world observe the Earth and probably map it."
These scholarly remarks do not prevent pranksters have fun with it at the expense of their fellow citizens. The police came and ended the hobby of a pensioner of Beuvry-les-Bethune who made gears three meters in diameter with sheets of paper very carefully glued and fitted at their base of a small receptacle containing a clump of tow soaked with a flammable liquid. Once he set fire to the tow, the "saucer" was in the sky and disappeared with the wind with yellow, orange and red lights. Alas! the truth was discovered when a gear began to set fire to a haystack...
[Ref. aml1:] AIME MICHEL:
Aimé Michel says this case in Lantéfontaine-les-Baroches en Meurthe-et-Moselle occurred on September 23, 1954.
Aimé Michel indicates that the case is briefly reported in the newspaper "France-Soir" for September 26, 1954.
[Ref. jve6:] JACQUES VALLEE:
Jacques Vallée indicates that for the day of September 24, 1954, the French Press mentioned a number of sightings, including one in Lantéfontaine in the Meurthe-et-Moselle, of a "single phenomenon".
Jacques Vallée indicates that the observation was of type "IV"; which he defines as an observation where a "abnormal object" was seen in translation movement in the atmosphere, whatever accelerations, luminous variations or rotations this movement would be associated to.
He notes that the observations of the type IV "could be considered insufficient", that half of testimonies of that day "would be rejected within the framework of an official investigation operating on the usual criteria".
[Ref. aml4:] AIME MICHEL:
This is how on September 24, 1954, there are in France (and there is only) nine observations: at Lantefontaine, Vichy [Actually without exact date], Gelles [Actually on the 17th], Ussel [Actually on the 20th], Tulle [Actually on the 22nd], Lencouaq [Actually on the 23rd], Bayonne [Actually on the 23rd], Langeac [Actually on the 22nd], Le Puy [Actually on the 23rd]. To check this, one just needs to read "France-Soir" for the 26th, "Paris-Presse" fot the 28th, "La Croix" for the 28th, "Le Parisien Libéré" for the 27th, where these observations are recorded.
Checking four Parisian newspapers, it this so tiresome? This being done, let's search this places on a map. One finds that Vichy, Gelles, Ussel, Tulle, Lencouaq and Bayonne are on a single line that is absolutely straight, and that Le Puy and Langeac are on a line with Tulle. Only Lantefontaine is not on a line. So: a) is this true?; b) is this explainable? It is Vallée who went the deepest in the explanation. However he did let this alinement and numerous others unexplained; c) did I invent the four newspapers?; d) is it likely that local correspondents who did not know each other invented all this so that, three years later, it is discovered that they are in line on a large circle?
[Ref. gal1:] CHARLES GARREAU AND RAYMOND LAVIER:
Indicating newspaper cuttings and personal files as their sources, the authors report of an observation on September 23, 1954 in Lantéfontaine-les-Baroches in the Meurthe-et-Moselle, of which they say that it is one of the rare observations in the world involving a formation of "cigars."
At four o'clock and a half, in the night, on the roads which converge towards the SIDELOR factories, tens of workmen went to their work on bicycles.
They see two luminous objects in the shape of cigars appear in the sky, which immobilize above the countryside.
The majority of the observers put feet at ground for better observing the machines which do not move. Soon, under the eyes of all these observers, four other cigars emerge, sink in the direction of the two first and stop dead short while arriving near them.
During a few minutes, the six "cigars" remain motionless, and certain workmen start to worry, one of them uttering "maybe they're goin' to land!" The others laughed, but again get on their bicycles, with one foot only at the ground, the other on the pedal
One of the witnesses indicates, "with one notable feeling of relief, we saw them start moving, rising, and disappearing in a few seconds." He and much of his comrades checked in with a few minutes of delay at the factory.
[Ref. dvl1:] DANIEL VIDAL:
Now here is a series of articles that Daniel Vidal of Nîmes sent us. This young boy, well known to the VERONICA group had to carry out a long and painstaking research work in the archive of the newspaper "Midi-Libre" in order to be able to communicate to us these articles and we congratulate him.
- The sky of France is furrowed with "cigars" and "flying saucers"
Paris, September 25 - In several localities in France, there is the appearance of "cigars" or "flying saucers" in the sky.
Thus in Charron (Charente-Maritime), three fishermen and a customs officer declare having seen during one of these last nights, a formation of flying saucers moving very low and flying over the shore before disappearing.
In Bayonne, locals say they saw high up in the sky three mysterious objects of clear hue, sharply visible on the sky. A peace officer, Mr. Carrions, observed these three immobile craft set in triangle, of slightly oval shape.
"They had, he said, the size of a rugby ball and seemed to be at a considerable height."
In the Meurthe-et-Moselle, dozens of workers from "Sidelor" living in the region of Lantéfontaine-les-Baroches (M-and-M) claim to have seen six "flying cigars" in the sky between 4:30 a.m. and 5:30 a.m.
"We first saw, they said, two "cigars", then after four other craft joined the first two, all remained motionless to finally disappear instantly."
In Le Puy, Mrs. Chaumard, living in the Trinité district, saw in the sky a craft in the shape of a cigar glowing red at one end, silent and motionless. She was able to observe the craft hovering nearly fifteen minutes, then the "cigar" suddenly disappeared while gaining altitude.
The same observations were made by six residents of Langeac (Haute-Loire) and several others from Les Gelles (Puy-de-Dôme) or Clermont-Ferrand. In this region, rugby players at the Vichy stadium, saw a "flying cigar".
In the Aveyron
From Villefranche de Rouergue in the Aveyron, an owner of Vabre-Tizac, Mr. Marre, is reported to have seen a yellow-colored mass moving southwards, without leaving behind any traces of smoke.
Mr. Marre's attention was drawn to the sound of a motor. Other inhabitants of the locality also heard the same noise from inside their house, but not having come out, they did not see the singular "mass". (Midi Libre 09/26/54.) (2-3)

Greetings book lovers! Summer might be winding down but in the publishing world that means it's time to welcome in a new season that's sure to be jam packed with literary events, award announcements and best of all, new books to devour. We hope you'll join us in celebrating seven spectacular new books from legendary Guernica writers as well as a debut poet and novelist. Mix and mingle and enjoy author readings in the heart of Kensington Market this October.
Books will be for sale by Ben McNally Books.
DATE: October 2, 2011
LOCATION: Supermarket, 268 Augusta Avenue, Toronto
The Ecstatic Torture of Gratitude by Jill Battson
Battson's highly anticipated new collection of poems pushes deep into the heart of the human condition. In lush and visceral language Jill explores loss, beauty, nature, Francis Bacon's ordered hoarding and the meaning of Martha Stewart. Many of the poems in this collection are a result of collaborative artist process with dancers, composers, singers and painters, but above all they will live in your memory like a perfect pearl long after their first reading.
A Hard Gold Thread by Catherine Black
In this, her second book, Black weaves together the wonder, heartache, and "unlovely beauty" of a youth that is by turns charmed and disquieting. Straddling genres of memoir, prose, and poetry, A Hard Gold Thread is an unconventional memoir inviting the reader into a meditation on the engulfing beauty of the world and the compulsion to turn away from it.
Sweet Hope by Mary Bucci Bush
Italians as indentured labourers in Southern cotton plantations at the turn of the twentieth century? Entire families scrabbling to survive, dying of malaria, building relationships with their neighbours, many the first generation of freed slaves? Sweet Hope unleashes the little known story of Italians who came looking for a better life in La Terra Nuova and found hardship, misery and their own form of slavery instead.
ATM SEX by Alan Lord
ATM SEX is a furious collection of satirical sketches and fearless social commentary that manages to skewer everyone and everything under the sun, often employing the absurd lingo of advertising. In Alan Lord, we have finally found an unapologetic un-Canadian over-the-topper, willing to throttle the myriad squawk boxes of our out-of-control dumbed-down zeitgeist.
The Metamorphoses of Ishtar by Nadine Ltaif and translated by John Asfour
The imaginary world of Lebanese Canadian exiled poet Nadine Ltaif is rooted in the context of middle-eastern geography and mythology. Any attempt at understanding her poetic experience must be anchored in Mediterranean symbolism. The analysis of these Mediterranean symbols reveals a metaphysical process or a quest which begins with the exploration of the anguish of uprootedness and exile, reaches an emotional catharsis that desperately searches for a emotional refuge and finally leads to the emergence of a feeling of liberation and plenitude. -Antoine Sassine, Mount Royal University, Calgary
On the Birth of Experimental Cinema by Enzo N. Terzano and translated by Nina Robinson
At the beginning of the 20th century, the young unknown artists Arnaldo Ginna, Bruno Corra, and Leopold Survage chose cinema in order to expand their artistic expression. They paved the way for the outburst of the 1920s avant-garde films. Enzo N. Terzano studies how these experimental films fused painting and the new technology in fascinating and exquisite ways.
Amphetamine Heart by Liz Worth
Channelling punk and heavy metal influences, this debut poetry collection's soundtrack is set to a backdrop of booze cans and broken glass. Written over a three-year period, these poems are linked by discomfort and decay, frequently capturing the urgency of paranoia and self-harm. Amphetamine Heartis about excess and the imbalance that it brings. It's about people who don't remember how they got home at the end of the night. It's about broken illusions and the dark undercurrents that often permeate party culture.

This week, the Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC) ruled that Auditor-Controller Candidate Toni Smart violated the Political Reform Act. An FPPC letter dated May 23 and addressed to Smart and her campaign stated that she violated the Political Reform Act because "none of the information required to be disclosed about the loan you received was included in your first pre-election campaign statement." The FPPC is the state ethics commission, created in 1974 when California voters passed Proposition 9, which is now known as the Political Reform Act.
After an investigation, the FPPC found that Smart's campaign had received a $500 loan which was not properly disclosed. As part of the Political Reform Act, a candidate must file Schedule B of Form 460 which contains information about loans received. Smart's failure to do so violated Section 84122 of the California Government Code, which states that information about loans to candidates' campaigns must be disclosed about the party making the loan.
According to the FPPC, she "filed an amendment to disclose the information pertaining to the loan immediately after being contacted by the Enforcement Division." It is unclear whether Smart's intention was to conceal the loan but got caught by the FPPC or whether she simply made an accounting mistake that the FPPC caught. The former would be dishonest while the latter is simply incompetence.
This is the second error committed by Smart as she campaigns for the detail-oriented position of Auditor-Controller. When declaring her candidacy, Smart chose the party affiliation of the American Independent Party (AIP), best known as the party of segregationist Presidential Candidate George Wallace. Smart has since renounced her choice in parties and stated that she mistakenly checked the box for the AIP.
Commenting in 2014 on Troy Edgar's failure to qualify for the ballot for Orange County Clerk-Recorder, Supervisor Todd Spitzer quipped that Edgar "couldn't complete his important paperwork in order to run for the job in charge of our important paperwork!"
To borrow Spitzer's line, Smart has been unable to properly complete her important paperwork as she runs for a job that ensures everyone else has properly completed their important paperwork.
Smart was unwilling or unable to properly account for a $500 loan for her $6,000 campaign as she seeks to be the head accountant for a County with a $6,000,000,000 budget.
Campaign finance forms are basic accounting while the Auditor-Controller is the head of accounting for the County of Orange. Checking boxes, computing error free calculations, using the correct governmental forms and following basic instructions is a necessity for any accountant and is particularly vital for the Auditor-Controller.
Smart is attempting to unseat Auditor-Controller Eric Woolery. While she runs for County office, she is also suing the County for wrongful termination. Previously, Woolery had been the second party in the lawsuit until he was dropped when it was announced that Smart's termination papers would become public as part of a motion filed by Woolery's attorneys. Smart, however, continues to sue the deeper pockets of County taxpayers.

The matter is, if you are like me you are most likely ready to throw up together with the amount of over-the-top, hyped-up advertising tactics used to market items like that and ClickFunnels is no exclusion.
In fact their advertising makes it difficult to learn if it is worth the investment or whether it's only all smoke and mirrors.

Additionally, I know that you are reading this ClickFunnels review because you understand your company takes a solution similar to this and you're just not sure this is the perfect fit.
Whether you choose to go for this particular tool or a different one, my aim for this review would be to supply the criteria to follow when choosing the best one for you.
Let us dive in.
First, Just What Are Funnels? How Do They Function?
Before continuing with this ClickFunnels Review, let us clarify what a marketing funnel is. In advertising, it's a process that requires individuals who do not know you and turns them to customers, aka a advertising funnel. In e-commerce, a sales funnel is a set of steps developed to direct a web site visitor to the checkout page.
There's a less dull way of considering it. Step 1: Imagine that a funnel. Measure 2: Envision this funnel is actually a metaphor, and rather than actual ingredients to pour down the funnel, you have got metaphorical ingredients which you phone traffic or traffic. Your site visitors are looking around, checking things out. Your website is beautifully constructed, and your content is topnotch!
Unfortunately, that still does not turn a lot of your customers into clients. At a physical store, that is like people walking in to your store but not understanding where the cash register is, so they leave the store without buying anything. In a physical store, you can talk your clients into buying something. In a digital shop, you could be a little more remote from the customers. That is where your funnel comes in–it was made to attract your customers' through fundamentals of psychology. The funnel functions incremental, draw traffic in closer and nearer till individuals wind up in a page.
If you feel that sounds cool, you are correct –it has turned into a huge deal for online marketing. Russell Brunson didn't become wealthy by promoting ClickFunnels technologies, but by using it as well.
So, What is ClickFunnels?
ClickFunnels started back in 2014, but in only 3 years it's been, in the words of Forbes,"silently revolutionizing the internet marketing industry." Here is the gist of ClickFunnels: This makes it much easier for companies and entrepreneurs to market things online with differently intricate advertising technologies, called sales funnels (more about those in a moment ).
The founder of ClickFunnels, Russell Brunson, is as famous as his invention, and for good reason. He has made a fortune, but not just from ClickFunnels, but other advertisements encounters. He played with email advertising for some time, and started to master sales funnels. How Do I Get Rid Of Clickfunnels
Russell Brunson is the bestselling author of DotCom Secrets and Expert Secrets, two books that his fans rave about and direct people through his advertising and marketing strategies. You are able to pick up Dotcom Secrets free on his site here. Get Expert Secrets out of here free on his own website.
ClickFunnels started out as a means to help Brunson and his team produce funnels more rapidly for distinct ventures, as generating funnels would normally take months. But they soon realized their production would be valuable to other people and had great potential as a commodity.
Things I Love About ClickFunnels
With its own tabbed funnels, layout templates, and drag-and-drop performance, ClickFunnels is targeted towards entrepreneurs with little if any internet advertising (and design/programming) experience.
Concerning layout — the appearance and feel of your posts — ClickFunnels treats you to a great choice of templates which are beautiful. Not only can these save tons of effort and time, you also have the confidence that these templates have been tested and are demonstrated to convert. Again, Brunson started the tool to enable his own salespeople and entrepreneurs sell more goods.
ClickFunnels requires no programming or design expertise with its own drag-and-drop interface. You may add components such as buttons, countdowns, search-engine along with a great deal more.
Here are a Couple of of ClickFunnels' extra attributes: How Do I Get Rid Of Clickfunnels
- You now have the capability to place up funnel webpages and make funnel workflows quickly.
- The support is extremely scalable and flexible — enabling hassle-free editing and modifications.
- There is an extensive assortment of professionally-designed templates.
- You're in a position to do A/B testing for each and every page included on your funnels.
- You are able to leverage multiple domain names together with the support.
- Email advertising services such as ActiveCampaign and MailChimp can be easily incorporated. Additionally, it has autoresponder functions that you might use for collecting leads through email.
- Clickfunnels may also be incorporated with different payment options such as Stripe and PayPal — which usually means you are able to accept payments for your products, services, or subscription websites.
- Analytics to examine campaigns, funnel performance, conversions, earnings, and A/B testing results are also offered.
- It's likely to create membership websites. After your prospects enroll, they can get access to exclusive subscription places.
- ClickFunnels includes a two-week free trial and two bundle offering.
- Great support — weekly webinars and free instruction are being supplied to clients.
New features are constantly being added to the ceremony.
A Few Things I Don't Care For With Clickfunnels
- It is more applications You'll Need to spend time studying
- Could be confusing if You're a beginner web marketer
- If ClickFunnels goes down, so does your landing pages
- Support is top notch, but can require a few hours to react
- URLS could be amazing if you Aren't using a custom domain
As you can see, the pros definitely outweigh the cons. A few of the cons are quite nitpicky, such as the URLs being littered, but that is more of a personal preference than anything. I am conscious that there are a number of other landing page builders that we'll use, for example Thrive Architect from Thrive Themes. For me , I have discovered the funnel step integration for a few of the simplest funnel applications to design however.
With TA, you will want to design the page, then link to the following pages at the sequence and it's done inside WordPress. While I love Thrive and their subjects, I really do think ClickFunnels is inherently simpler to work with than TA, but it comes in a monthly cost.
What types of funnels are found in ClickFunnels?
Like I alluded to, there's a whole lot of methods to prepare a perfect funnel. Firms are distinct, therefore it isn't surprising ClickFunnels supplies some choices in building your ideal funnel.
Lead Capture Funnel: This sort of sales funnel lets you capture email addresses of your website's visitors. The funnel's chief objective is to aid in boosting your mailing list. Subsequently, this listing could be used as a constant customer touchpoint in addition to a path where you are able to promote your products and services to prospective clients via email. This type of funnel functions for any company!
Revenue Page Funnel: This funnel permits you to market more goods or services by executing upsells, downsells, or perhaps 1 time supplies to your clients. The intent of utilizing this kind of sales funnel would be to draw earnings from the present pool of consumers.
Webinar Funnel: Webinars are a superb way to provide more value and participate prospective customers. This very valuable sales funnel boosts your own webinars or internet events. A great deal of bloggers come to Growth Marketing Guru to find out best practices for webinars — they are popular revenue tools today.
Bridge Funnel: This sort of sales funnel empowers you to combine two distinct products or services to make purchases easier for the clients.
Survey Funnel: This funnel has two big functions. The very first one will be to enable you to engage your prospects by having them answer survey questions.

All these, then, help you understand your potential clients and create content or pages that are more conducive to your intended audience.

ClickFunnels Review Conclusion
ClickFunnels is certainly one of the best online marketing tools and there are not lots of apps out there that could fit it in terms of abilities and scope.
As it's possible to use ClickFunnels to perform a lot of things such as marketing automation and membership sites, their effectiveness is your core revenue funnel builder that I think is the best in the company.
Finally it boils down to if ClickFunnels is ideal for you or not and it depends entirely on your individual requirements. If you are looking to build only a couple landing pages to build your email list, you most likely do not need ClickFunnels.
However if you are trying to construct a sales funnel to advertise any service or product, ClickFunnels is surely a tool that you want to consider using. There's no greater method of constructing your funnels if you're among those sales-focused entrepreneurs.

While Zack Snyder is busy preparing for Justice League - Part 1's April 11th start of filming, theatergoers are preparing for the premiere of the filmmaker's Man of Steel follow-up/shared universe kick-off Batman V Superman. Less than 24 hours after Snyder teased his Twitter followers with a behind-the-scenes glimpse at the Justice League costume department (including background looks at The Flash and Aquaman suits, as well as other mysterious costume props), the studio's official Batman V Superman social media accounts have finally announced when excited fans can pre-order tickets for the highly-anticipated face-off between the Bat of Gotham and Son of Krypton.
Star Wars: The Force Awakens tickets went on sale two full months before the film's premiere; though, pre-order excitement was mired by a poorly coordinated launch times (with different ticket sellers launching at different hours) and overloaded servers that caused many dedicated fans to miss-out on preferred theaters and showtimes when, midway through their purchases, order pages became unresponsive. It's too early to know whether Batman V Superman ticket buyers will face similar hurdles but we'll find out when the pre-orders open to the public - on February 29th.
As mentioned, the news was announced on the Batman V Superman twitter account - you can see the tweet below.
Suit up. Get advance tickets for #BatmanvSuperman on February 29th. pic.twitter.com/7FJH65SgMg
— Batman v Superman (@BatmanvSuperman) February 23, 2016
Note: Warner Bros. has confirmed the pre-order ticket sales date but has yet to announce a specific time - suggesting that, unlike Star Wars, there may not be a cross-theater chain time that fans can expect tickets to be made available. So, for the time being, check with your local theater for pre-order details - to ensure you get the tickets you want.
For months, DC comic fans have enjoyed a friendly (and sometimes not-so-friendly) rivalry regarding which hero would come out on top in an actual one-on-one brawl - a debate we addressed in our explanation of how the Dark Knight can beat the Man of Steel. As the debate rages, Superman star Henry Cavill even shot a tongue-in-cheek video - in which he attempted to convince children that Superman is better than Batman.
With release of the film closing in, moviegoers will soon get to see how the two iconic heroes fare in their "gladiator match." Even though most fans already known the grudge match will lead to an inevitable team-up (joined by Wonder Woman), it'll still be exciting to see how the battle has been adapted for big screen entertainment. After all, the logistics of making a face-off between a god-like alien and tech-savvy genius believable (within the semi-grounded confines of DC's Extended Universe) was always going to be a challenge but, so far, preview footage of the pair's dual certainly appears to capture the spirit of intense battles that fans had, previously, enjoyed for decades in print form.
That all said, while moviegoers and industry insiders speculate on the quality of Snyder's final film, ahead of public release, it'll be interesting to find out how big of a splash Dawn of Justice can make during its pre-order ticket window. Star Wars 7 managed to earn over $100 million in pre-sales alone - even prompting many ticket buyers to scalp desperate fans for opening night/weekend tickets. While Batman V Superman is highly unlikely to hit the benchmark established by The Force Awakens, there's no question the film is bound to do serious business ahead of its time in theaters. Certain moviegoers may be skeptical about the power of seeing Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman onscreen together but, while some fans might hold a candle for a different film property (Captain America: Civil War, X-Men: Apocalypse, Suicide Squad, and/or Doctor Strange, to name a few), Dawn of Justice was voted to the top of several "most anticipated" lists at the start of 2016.
A bad movie will certainly undermine any pre-release goodwill and interest but, right now, as fans gear-up for the biggest year for superhero movies in box office history, Dawn of Justice is carrying a lot of momentum. Early projections suggest a $150-plus million opening weekend - a number that, as we saw with the R-Rated record-breaking success of Deadpool (which was, above all else, a fun movie), could see a rapid increase, should Snyder actually deliver a buzz-worthy Batman V Superman film experience.
NEXT: Batman V Superman Runtime Revealed
Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice opens on March 25, 2016, which is followed by Suicide Squad on August 5, 2016; Wonder Woman on June 23, 2017; Justice League Part One on November 17, 2017; The Flash on March 16, 2018; Aquaman on July 27, 2018; Shazam on April 5, 2019; Justice League Part Two on June 14, 2019; Cyborg on April 3, 2020; and Green Lantern Corps. on June 19, 2020.

Here's a great article on how Data Modelling still applies to the Big Data world and especially with regards to NoSQL.
Below is an extract from the article, the link for the full article can be found below:
Data Modeling Still A Priority
Data modeling, then, still has an important role to play in NoSQL environments. "The data modeling process is always there," he says. You can look at that role in a simple way, van der Lans explains, by thinking of it as a process that leads to a diagram. In the process of creating the diagram, you are trying to understand what the data means and how the data elements relate together. Thus, "understanding" is a key aspect of data modeling.
Just as is the case when you are doing data modeling for SQL environments, data modeling for NoSQL requires doing the same homework: Talk to end users and read reports to come up with some logical model that specifies the structure and meaning of the data. That's the business-oriented step, he notes. "The moment we want to interpret data we have to understand it," he says. Implementing that logical model – the physical and technical aspect of data modeling – is what changes dramatically in NoSQL environments compared to SQL environments.
In the SQL environment, the data modeling process that leads to such an understanding lives inside the database server. In NoSQL environments, however, the data modeling ends up in the code of the application that reads the data, van der Lans says. "Twenty years ago, if you would do data modeling, the result would always be a database structure – tables and columns." In today's NoSQL environments, "what will happen is the data model ends up as lines of application code….The structure is there but in the lines of application code." Because of that approach, it revolves around just changing how you want to look at the data, there's no requirement to reorganize the physical database.

First Dates
By Janey Womeldorf
First dates are brutal. They either succeed and you live happily after, or they reek of cringe-worthy moments that sadly become fodder for party stories years later.
I once engaged in a long-distance relationship with a guy after I met him once, for three hours, when both of us were sitting at an airport bar. Six months later, I flew eight hours to meet him for our first official date only to discover he walked like Big Bird. I had to look away every time he got up; I never knew whether to laugh or cry. My return flight was not until after the weekend, so my first date with Big Bird lasted three excruciating days. There was no second date.
I also once accepted a date from a taxi driver. A week after he picked me up as a fare, he came to pick me up as a date. When we arrived at the bar and he got out of his taxi, I caught my breath – he only came up to my shoulders – a startling first for me as I'm only five-foot two myself. "He looked taller from the back of the cab," I anguished later to my friend. I tried to pretend everything was normal but ached with uncomfortable regret that I had chosen to wear four-inch heels that night. As fate would have it, it quickly became apparent that the only thing we had in common (apart from being short) was absolutely nothing. On a first date, this stark realization slams you within the first five minutes and then lingers like a bad smell. You pretend to listen to the words coming out of their mouth, but only one thought consumes you: What excuse can I find to leave? Despite every minute growing more silent and awkward than the last, I chose to be polite and stay; besides, I needed a lift home – a risky venture when you're in a cab after a bad date with its driver.
It's illegal to have a passenger in your cab if you don't have the meter on so he left it running. On the way home, the unmistakable click, click of the running meter punctuated our stony silence. By the time he pulled up, I was in the hole for a potential $221. I made a hasty exit with barely a goodbye, no tip and never looked back. There was no second date.
When she was a teenager, a friend of my Mum's went on a blind date to the cinema. When her date turned up, he had a visible booger stuck on one of his nose hairs. It vibrated with every breath, and it was all she could do to look at him. The date spiraled downhill from there, and even in the dark she cringed at the thought of staying. Finally, she excused herself to the ladies' room but could not bring herself to go back. Afraid to walk out through the lobby in case he had also decided to go the bathroom, she was left with no other choice: She climbed out through the bathroom window and went home. My heart still aches for the poor guy, sitting there, waiting and breathing. Needless to say, there was no second date.
The reality is, unless we married the person, most of us, at some point in our dating life have been on both ends of first-date spectrum – if you even made it that far. I still don't know what was more painful for me – getting stood up or going on the date, only to sit afterwards, my heart desperately waiting for a phone that was never going to ring. The only comfort I can derive from this agonizing, first-date rite of passage is that you have to date the frogs to recognize your prince.
And to think, I almost missed mine.
He was my last customer at the end of a stressful day. Feeling guilty for keeping me after hours, he casually offered to buy me a drink to make up for it. My automatic reaction was to refuse, but it had been a long day. After one drink, and some pleasant conversation, I left him at the bar and returned to my office to finish working. A week later, he came into the office and asked me if I'd like to go out on a proper date. "No," came my punch-in-the-gut response. He was a nice guy; I was just more into my career.
A few days later, he tried again. "No," I replied for the second time. The following week, in one last-ditch attempt, he came into my office, announced he was going to the launderette to do his laundry and if I wanted to join him for a drink afterwards, to come on down to the launderette to meet him.
At least, I'd be able to see how he folded his socks, I joked to myself. (This was of fundamental importance if we were going to have a future as I came from a long line of ballers.) I laughed at the absurdity of an invite to the launderette, but 30 minutes later, smiled, locked up the office and headed over. I squirmed when I saw that he knotted his socks – a practice that, in my mind, looks messy and takes up too much room in the sock drawer – but admired the way he diligently folded and neatly placed everything else into his basket. Once done, we headed back to the same bar from three weeks previous to share a drink and our first formal date together. It was my last, first date ever.
Twenty-six and a half years of fantastic marriage later, my heart skips a beat when I think how close I came to what could have been. He turned out to be my rock, my soul-mate, my sunshine and my prince, and with every passing year, he continues to rock my world.
Even if he does still knot his socks.

This is something all of us writers need to be aware of. I'm sure the majority of us over-use some words. I hope my beta readers pick up on mine and let me know. Thanks for sharing, Dan.
Your humble host
You know, I never thought to ask if there was a better procedure for doing this than what I'm doing.
So I'll ask!
When my critique partners got done with my story, they had flagged a lot of "crutch words" along the way. Those are words you accidentally overuse or stick in when you need something – and they start to stick out to readers. Repetition creates an aura of sameness, of boredom, which is NOT what you want in a story you've spent untold hours working on to be compelling and gripping! They gotta go! But how?
All I did was make a list of those crutch words as my CPs pointed them out and then, one by one, take a crutch word and do a search in the manuscript for them one at a time, replacing them as I went. The word smile

The athletes of the Canada Summer Games have shown nothing short of fierce athleticism, but our volunteers are not far behind with their friendly hospitality and staggering enthusiasm.
Meet Tammy Chwaiewsky: a volunteer who brings her A game anywhere she goes, and who may be just as excited for the Games as the athletes, if not more.
"This has been the best volunteer experience. It has been so much fun; it has been nothing but laughs," she said. "It's a once in a lifetime opportunity."
Her passion for swimming is palpable. She has been involved as a former swimmer, then later on as a lifeguard, instructor, supervisor of swimming classes, and volunteer coach.
When she was 25-years-old, she was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and myofascial pain."I couldn't walk for one month and I thought I'd never walk again," she said.
Specialists prescribed strong medications that masked her pain, but never got to the root of the problem, she explained.
"I took matters into my own hands and today, I am seven years free of medications," she said. "I can swim comfortably and consistently for five minutes. It took 23 years to get to this point, but my swimming and the kids I coach keep me moving forward."
Due to her disability status, she can't get a full-time job, which is why she volunteers instead. "Swimming is part of my healing process. This is where I belong, where I am home," she said.
She was certainly in her zone when she was assigned to the athletes' village where she interacted with 81 sailing athletes.
She spent her time getting to know them by throwing a football around, high-fiving, giving hugs and being supportive with good conversations. The bond she formed has been so remarkable that the athletes invited her to celebrate with them at a dance taking place later on this week.
"A few athletes said 'it is a must that you come. And bring your dance shoes," she chuckled. "I don't disappoint athletes; I felt honoured so I will be there.
The memories that these athletes gave me are the best," she said.

The Dad's Garage crew wants Ludacris to do improv at their theater, and they're apparently not going to rest until he does.
The group anticipates that their recently-launched campaign — A Ludacris Proposal — will become a "long, strange, hilarious journey" in which they'll do things throughout the year to try and get the attention of the Atlanta icon, rapper and businessman, the website says.

"To be clear, we do not want him to rap," a man says in a video. "All he's gotta do is show up and perform unscripted, unrehearsed scenes ... think "Fast and the Furious" but Tyrese is not gonna be there."
Supporters will be able to share videos and buy merchandise along the way.
"By bringing our voices together, we can make true change. We can get Ludacris to perform short-form improv," the site says.
Luda hasn't responded to a tweet from Dad's — yet.

North Korea summit: Late-night hosts flame Trump for praising Kim Jong Un
President Trump's summit with Kim Jong Un provided ample material for late-night hosts' monologues on Tuesday.
On the Late Show, Stephen Colbert was not pleased with how Trump courted the North Korean dictator.
"Now, here's the deal, okay: Kim got U.S. security guarantees," he told his audience. "But in exchange, he agreed to work toward de-nuclearization of the Korean peninsula, but that was just reaffirming an earlier agreement he already had with South Korea. It's like Trump saw North and South Korea getting together and was like, "That looks good, who's up for a three-way? I'm a selfish lover.' "
Colbert also took issue with the fact that Trump told a reporter that he was impressed by Kim Jong Un leading his country at 26 years of age.
"You don't give dictators points for being young!" he said. "That's like saying, 'You know, Vlad the Impaler became ruler at age 20. Nobody talks about that. Everyone gets all hung up on the impaling part, not how young he was. He was the Mozart of sticking wood through people!'"
Meanwhile, as part of his "A Closer Look" segment on Late Night, Seth Meyers commented that the two leaders "look like they shop at a store called Business Pajamas."
"Trump and Kim then sat down for a one-on-one meeting, and look at Kim's face — is it just me, or is even he confused at how he got here? It looks like they got set up on a blind date by their weirdest friend. Oh what, they were?" Meyers said, speaking about Dennis Rodman, as a photo of him appeared on camera.
Meyers then continued his criticism of the North Korean leader.
"This is a guy who starves his own citizens, and assassinates people with anti-aircraft guns," he said. "You're talking about him like he started Apple in his garage. But I guess it shouldn't surprise me that Trump's idea of talent is getting rich by taking over your dad's business. Trump was born on third base, whereas Kim was born on third base and then shot the third baseman. In fact, Trump seemed as interested in looking forward at potential business opportunities in North Korea as he was in getting Kim to give up his nuclear weapons."
As for other late night appearances, Jimmy Fallon compared the leaders' meeting to The Bachelor, while Trevor Noah criticized Trump's "condominium huckster" deal.
Analysis:When Trump met Kim, the handshake was more historic than the words
