Bridging the gap between emerging voices in film and major film industry players is at the heart of what we do at the Tribeca Film Institute. That's why every year, we kick off the Tribeca Film Festival with our signature event, the TFI Network presented by AT&T. For nine years, this program has existed with the purpose of bringing new voices to the table, this year with over 250 distributors, funders, mentors and more to take these excellent projects to the next level. Because of some of our international partnerships with organizations like the MENA Region Forum and the Guadalajara International Film Festival, we're supporting films from ten different countries, spanning three continents.
We're proud to say that many of the projects that go through this program premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival and other prestigious festivals around the world. Some even go on to become Academy award nominees, like documentaries "Minding the Gap" and "Hale County: This Morning, This Evening." This year, you can catch the following TFI Network projects at the Tribeca Film Festival: documentaries "Recorder: The Marion Stokes Project" and "A Woman's Work: The NFL's Cheerleader Problem," scripted films "Stray Dolls" and "The Short History of the Long Road," and interactive projects "Armonia," "Water Melts" and "Dreams of the Jaguar's Daughter."
The TFI Network constantly boasts a diverse range of documentary, scripted and interactive projects -- some are projects brand new to the TFI family, while others have been funded through our other programs, like the Immersive Film Program, Tribeca All Access and the TFI Sloan Filmmaker Fund. We're bringing back our Works-in-Progress program for its second year, where selected documentary and scripted features will present excerpts of their current projects, which are mostly in post-production.
Here are the 41 projects participating in this year's TFI Network. Look out for these films in the domestic & international festival circuit in the near future.

Agreement on Phase 3 Program to Capture Unique Dual Actions of Arhalofenate
NEWARK, Calif., Jan. 05, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CymaBay Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:CBAY), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing therapies to treat specialty and orphan diseases with high unmet medical need, today announced that it has successfully concluded its scientific advice discussions with the European Medicines Agency (EMA) on the Phase 3 development program for arhalofenate. Arhalofenate is a novel dual-acting product candidate for the treatment of gout that both lowers serum uric acid (sUA) and reduces gout flares. It is the first compound in a new class of gout therapy that the CymaBay refers to as Urate Lowering Anti-Flare Therapy (ULAFT). CymaBay licensed rights to arhalofenate in the U.S. to Kowa Pharmaceuticals America, Inc. but retains rights to develop and commercialize arhalofenate outside the U.S.
CymaBay reached agreement with the EMA on all of the key elements of the planned Phase 3 program which is very similar to that agreed upon with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) last year. It will include two pivotal studies of arhalofenate in combination with febuxostat (40 mg) in patients with chronic gout and a third study in combination with febuxostat (80 mg) in subjects with tophaceous gout, a more advanced form of the disease.
Agreement was reached on the efficacy endpoints for the two separate clinical actions of arhalofenate. The sUA lowering will be assessed as responder rates for patients achieving the targets of <6 and <5 mg/dL for chronic and tophaceous gout, respectively. The data could support an indication for the management of hyperuricemia associated with gout in combination with febuxostat in these two patient populations. Flare data will be collected with an electronic diary and assessed using the same flare definition successfully used in the Phase 2 program. These data could support an indication for flare prophylaxis. In total, these studies will enroll approximately 1300 patients intended to receive treatment for at least 6 months. Approximately half of these patients will receive arhalofenate and will enter into an extension phase for an additional 6 months to collect safety information.
The lowest dose at which febuxostat (Adenuric®) is approved in Europe is 80 mg. In order to provide information on the relative effectiveness of the combination of arhalofenate and febuxostat (40 mg), a fourth study in subjects with chronic gout will be conducted comparing flare rate of this combination with that of febuxostat (80 mg) alone. The duration of this study would be 6 months and will enroll approximately 150 subjects.
"We are very pleased with the positive outcome of our discussions with the EMA on the registration program for arhalofenate," commented Harold Van Wart, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of CymaBay. "The close alignment on the Phase 3 program requirements between the EMA and FDA, with only one small additional study required for Europe, is a very positive outcome. This additional clarity on the development program will also help us move forward with our partnering discussions for Europe."
About Arhalofenate
Arhalofenate is an oral, once-daily dual-acting drug candidate for the treatment of gout that both lowers serum uric acid (sUA) and suppresses flares. It is the first compound in a new class of gout therapy that the Company refers to as Urate Lowering Anti-Flare Therapy (ULAFT).
Arhalofenate lowers sUA by blocking the reabsorption of uric acid in the proximal tubules of the kidney by inhibiting a renal uric acid transporter called URAT1. This leads to the excretion of uric acid into the urine. Arhalofenate produces its uricosuric effect gradually and appears to have a favorable overall and renal safety profile in studies completed to date in over 1,100 patients. The sUA lowering of arhalofenate is complementary and additive to that produced by the xanthine oxidase inhibitor febuxostat, which works by blocking the production of uric acid. The anti-flare activity of arhalofenate is attributable to the suppression of the urate crystal-induced production of IL-1β in gouty joints.
Current treatment guidelines for gout recommend the use of urate lowering therapies (ULTs) to reverse hyperuricemia in order to remove deposits of pro-inflammatory urate crystals. The minimal goal of this treatment is to reduce sUA levels to below 6 mg/dL. The goal for patients with a more advanced form of the disease called tophaceous gout is <5 mg/dL. Many patients treated with currently marketed xanthine oxidase inhibitors (allopurinol or febuxostat) alone do not reach these goals. In previously published studies, arhalofenate in combination with febuxostat has been shown to significantly increase the number of patients achieving their sUA goals.
Paradoxically, the initiation of ULT triggers an increased risk of gout flares for the first six months or more. The anti-inflammatory activity of arhalofenate has been shown in clinical studies to suppress flares, making it uniquely suited for the treatment of gout.
About CymaBay
CymaBay Therapeutics, Inc. (CBAY) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing therapies to treat metabolic diseases with high unmet medical need, including serious rare and orphan disorders. Seladelpar is a potent, selective, orally active PPARδ agonist. A Phase 2 study of seladelpar in patients with mixed dyslipidemia established that it has an anti-atherogenic lipid profile. CymaBay has completed Phase 2 studies for seladelpar in subjects with primary biliary cholangitis and homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia, establishing proof-of-concept in both indications. Arhalofenate, CymaBay's other product candidate, is a potential Urate-Lowering Anti-Flare Therapy that has completed five Phase 2 studies in subjects with gout. Arhalofenate has been found to reduce painful flares in joints while at the same time lowering serum uric acid by promoting excretion of uric acid by the kidney. This dual action addresses both the signs and symptoms of gout while managing the underlying pathophysiology of hyperuricemia. Arhalofenate has been licensed in the U.S. to Kowa Pharmaceuticals America, Inc. CymaBay retains full development and commercialization rights for arhalofenate outside the U.S.

The Beautiful and Damned
384 pages
The heir to his grandfather's considerable fortune, Anthony Patch is led astray from the path to gainful employment by the temptations of the 1920s Jazz Age. His descent into dissolution and profligacy is accelerated by his marriage to the attractive but turbulent Gloria, and the couple soon discover the dangerous flip side of a life of glamour and debauchery.
Containing obvious parallels with F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald's own lives, The Beautiful and Damned is a tragic examination of the pitfalls of greed and materialism and the transience of youth and beauty.
He was better than he knew, for in fact and in the literary sense he invented a generation.
The New York Times
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Considered one of the finest American writers of the twentieth century, F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940) was the author of various novels and short stories chronicling life in the US during the Roaring Twenties.

Angel of Death, Daniel Radcliffe, Eel Marsh House, Hammer Studios, Horror Sequel, Jeremy Irvine, Phoebe Fox, The Woman in Black, The Woman in Black 2: Angel of Death
Like most horror fans, particularly those with a soft spot for ghosts, I absolutely loved the 2012 version of The Woman in Black. It was dark and tense, beautiful to look at and genuinely scary with an extraordinary cast and tight script; a perfect example of a ghost story done right. The Woman in Black 2: Angel of Death seemed a worthy follow up. A story about a group of children forced to live in the dreaded Eel Marsh House where the dark, child killing specter resides; the possibilities were intriguing. So naturally when this movie was announced I did my fan girl happy dance, even if I am often wary of sequels.
Who can blame me, sequels, as a general rule, are hit or miss. It's no surprise usually when a sequel fails to illicit the same enthusiasm as the original, and even less a surprise when a sequel fails outright at duplicating the same atmosphere or inspiring the same feelings as its predecessor.
As such, The Woman in Black 2: Angel of Death, does not really fail as a sequel, at least not technically. The dark, tense atmosphere that permeated the Daniel Radcliffe vehicle is ever present, and the performances by both adult and child actors are spot on.
So what the fuck's the problem?
Well, to put it plainly, this movie isn't fucking scary, which in the world of horror, is kinda unforgivable. Also, the characters of Harry (Jeremy Irvine) and Eve (Phoebe Fox), spend the better part of the film finding out stuff we (the audience) already know about the titular woman in black. If I wanted to find out who/what the WiB is, I'd watch the first fucking movie over again, sequels are meant to continue and expand the first film's universe, not reiterate it.
So that sucked.
And, as is the case with many a film nowadays, the good parts were in the trailer, so The Woman in Black 2 was short on surprises and was actually kinda boring…no, it was pretty damn boring…bah.
Horror Chick Whine: Why is it every time I look forward to a movie it sucks ass? Bullshit that's what that is!
Anyway, the movie isn't awful, and I'm sure moviegoers looking for light scares with a bit of a (cheesy) love story thrown in will enjoy it. For my taste it was not nearly good enough and too predictable by half to be enjoyed at all. Unfortunately the ending (so so predictable) paved the way for part three, so there is a distinct possibility that we not have seen the last of this baby killing bitch…sigh.
So there goes that…I'm totally bummed at this disappointing flick. Good thing it's only January so there's lots to look forward to, and although The Woman in Black 2 is not really worth the price of admission, it's probably not the worst thing we'll see this year I'm sure…umm yay?!?

text: We've been working hard to ensure Ruinscraft stays relevant in the ever changing Minecraft server ecosystem. It's tough to develop a play experience which keeps new players coming in and old players coming back. We've developed a taste for what's good, and we're going to use that to make Ruinscraft better. Say hello to MCAtlas, a Minecraft server of the Earth. We're devoted to make this a unique experience that will be intriguing to new users who may have never played a Ruinscraft server before. We'd like to make it clear that MCAtlas is very much a Ruinscraft server. Although, for gameplay's sake, it will have some separation. Gameplay MCAtlas is centered around a realistic 1:1000 scale map of the Earth. As a player in survival mode, you can join a town and work with others to grow your domain, or you can go alone and form your own village. Form nations, create and crumble alliances, or go to war. Gold is the primary currency of the server, so mining and trading it is essential. Please make yourself familiar with the rules which can be found on the MCAtlas website (link below). The website MCAtlas will have a separate website for gameplay purposes. It will contain features such as: viewing current economy statistics of the server, viewing a live map of the server, viewing Towny statistics, voting for the server (to get gold!), a listing of the rules, and more. Visit the website: https://mcatlas.net Connecting When MCAtlas is released, you will be able to connect to it in a couple different ways. First, you will be able to join the MCAtlas server with the portal on the Ruinscraft Hub or with the command /mcatlas. Second, because we want to make it easy for new players to understand how to join, we have created a new address which you can use to skip the Hub and directly join the MCAtlas server: play.mcatlas.net (this makes it easy for you to invite people too)! MCAtlas is a 1.13 server, but you will be able to connect with the usual Ruinscraft supported Minecraft versions, 1.12-1.14. Ranks Our goal for MCAtlas is to be fresh and inviting to new players. To embrace this, the server will not have the same donator ranks as our other servers. Any previous purchaser of a Ruinscraft VIP Tier will automatically receive the MCAtlas donator rank (there will be only one) free for lifetime*. We REALLY appreciate our donors. We couldn't run any of this without you all. *In order to receive the MCAtlas donator rank for free, you must have purchased any Ruinscraft VIP Tier before the time of this announcement (if you're reading this, it's too late). In order to figure out what benefits the donator rank should have in order to be desirable and fair, it will start with no benefits other than a prefix and possibly other chat cosmetics. The rank will not be for purchase until some time after the server launches. Launch date MCAtlas is ready to go, are you? We are launching the server one week from today, on July 1st! Other Ruinscraft updates The update to 1.13 for our Plots server last month was a success. It took the hard work of many, many developers in the Minecraft community to pull it off. Notably FastAsyncWorldEdit and PlotSquared (and our modified version of it) were huge undertakings. A few minor issues are still being resolved, but just about everything is now operating as it should on our Plots server. You can view the remaining 1.13 related issues here. Our new hub has been received well. We are aware of a FPS stuttering issue on 1.14; hopefully we can resolve this soon. It is recommended to use 1.12.2 or 1.13.2 on our servers. See you on the server!

The Cardiologist carefully lifted and replaced the stethoscope onto each quadrant, front and back, before listening again to the front with eyes squeezed shut. The "lets give it a listen" full eye contact, and comforting smile disappear instantly.
The words pulse silently in my head, heart murmur, heart murmur, heart murmur a terrible triplet. A new symptom to add to the list. I watch the professional eyes open and then avoid; they never do meet my gaze again.
I want to scream at him. Go ahead asshole tell me. What you hear I see.
It is Poe printed in black bold on thick white cotton bond, this heart tells tales; See him sitting all day long, not moving, watching TV, waiting, see him dizzy, grabbing hold, holding on, see him on the floor, see his lips mumble his not quite conscious first words,
"I don't want to live like this."
Cardiologist looks down and away, at his chart, at the wall, says, "his EKG is abnormal," holds it up, the paper with the squiggly lines held aloft.
…do I look like I can read electronic scrawl?
I silently dare him to look at me, he doesn't.
Bad girl takes over, refuses to look away; see high-waisted khaki pants, a slight tuck to the left, buttons all done up tight, scrub faced always wears a white undershirt, tightie whities, faithful deck shoes awaiting a deck, a walking ad for L.L. Bean. Safe money says this is an only gets blow jobs on birthdays kinda guy.
Bad girl wants to swear just to see him jump. Big juicy swear words roll around and almost slip out.
He starts asking questions.
"Ever had swelling of your legs?"
"Oh years ago in Rome… I was" Griffy starts, only stopping to inhale as the story is lengthy an requires frequent oxygen intake to complete. I know the end of the story, but the cardio-boy will never hear it he has moved on to question two.
"Do you have shortness of breath?"
"Oh yes… why just today I was out of breath only walking to the chair and"
"Do you tire easily?"
So close …almost got that second answer fully out before the third was asked. Close but no cigar.
"Well I think you'll need some further testing to exclude cardiac reasons for your fainting."
"I'm sorry, " I stammer. " Isn't Multiple System Atrophy and the related autonomic mal-functions that cause both high and low blood pressure the cause of Griff's fainting?"
It is as though I wasn't in the room. He looks right at Griff and says,
"A 70 % blockage would be enough to cause your symptoms, I recommend further tests."
Cardiologist man then stands, opens the door, looks down the hall, and says, "you know how to get out of here? They'll set you up at checkout with the appointments."
Dr. Oz he isn't.
"You do know he has MSA a degenerative neurological disorder than is chronic, progressive and fatal?" I add as I get up and start to wheel Griff out.
There was no answer to the query.
First impression note for the field guide he is a silver-haired Tempe Arizona frat boy who thinks waitresses belong beneath him and always put out.
Honey, you are quickly becoming a walking cliché' … Remember No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.
Thanks Eleanor, but really this place would piss off Gandhi.
"See the blue light? its right, then another right, down the hall to the blue light, then straight on til you see checkout Take care." as he disappeared in the opposite direction.
Strike One.
"Blue light?" I hiss. What the fuck is this a super fucking K-mart? Blue light special on aisle three. Blue Light?" I steam out, pushing Griff at a safe but speedy pace, his hair only gets a little bit tossed, we come to a stop at check out.
There isn't room for the wheelchair in the checkout cubicle, its three by three, three sides, padded, convenient, with a high counter, and two over stuffed chairs in a blue that screams I'm supposed to make you feel comfortable and right at home !
News flash. Your chairs just piss me off.
Strike two.
I wonder if this place has ever heard of access for disabled persons.
Strike three.
All this is before she speaks.
"The doctor wants him to have a chemical stress test as soon as possible."
"Excuse me? I thought we were referred for an echo cardiogram?"
She makes a fatal mistake by repeating her exact words in exactly the same manner only a hundred decibels louder.
The exchange continues.
"A stress test for a man who is unable to walk the 20 feet down the hall to the bathroom without passing out?" I ask.
"Can he get out of that chair?"
"Well then he won't have a problem, can he lie down, lie still? "
"Yes and yes"
"And did you come here for Dr….. " here she pauses to look at the computer screen as there are no less than 12 attending cardiologist that frequent this lovely Cardiac Care Center. "yes, Dr. M, so you came for DOCTOR M's advice correct? DOCTOR M-wants him to have a chemical stress test, then an echo."
Griffy sits head a little tilted, face drawn. I have talked over him literally, and lost my cool, again.
He didn't need this from me.
I take out the green book, my Dedicated Griffy Information Depository and open to write down the appointments.
It slips on the way out,
Mother Fuckers!
Griffy laughs, at least we have this.
If nothing else, I can still make him laugh.

To quote incomparable short-story writer Dorothy Parker in a different context:
"Oh. Oh, dear. Oh, dear, dear, dear. . . . I'd love to waltz with you. I'd love to be in a midnight fire at sea."
Not that I'd wish a fire at sea on anyone, but it might be more exciting than this. "Pop Art" starts off decently, with Solo and Waverly golfing (why do people wear sweaters to golf in warm weather?). My inner hamster sprang off his wheel, though, and scurried madly for cover at the sight of Illya, clad in black suit and tie, acting as caddy. And then a rocket in the golf bag, and a hiccup gas . . . oh, dear . . .
That's not to say you couldn't hiccup yourself to death. If you can't get your breath, you'll eventually asphyxiate, I guess. The thought, as you're helplessly hiccuping, that it's such a silly and undignified way to go, would be mortifying. But the effect on the audience is what counts here, and it is too silly. One imagines a "Batman" with Dick Grayson going undercover, or attempting to, at a Gotham City coffeehouse, and Bruce Wayne playing "private eye" after he's captured.
Ah, the "with-it" slang . . . a mixture of what was by this time dated beat slang, and what writers Shanus and Ramrus thought were current hippie-isms. David's Illya at least has the grace to look uncomfortable with the slang he's tossing around, when he's not looking like he knows he's putting us on. And Robert's Solo looks rather nauseated at several points. Illya's extempore "happening" poem is funny, though, as is Sylvia's charcoal sketch of the "brooding" Russian agent.
Even the worst MfU script can have some little thing on the ball, and this has several. First is the potential edge-of-the-chair moment as Solo is within feet of the captured Illya, who can't make his partner hear him through the soundproofed painting. Second, Solo's psychological attack on Mari, using her weakness, fear of looking old, to get to her. Third, and best, is the moment at the climax when one of the longhaired thugs is about to pounce on Solo. Sensibly, Illya doesn't bother yelling, "Napoleon, look out!" He shoots the thug and is done with him. Oh, and four, when Illya surges through the door of Sylvia's pad (above), armed and in a ready-for-anything crouch.
I like the dark wet street when Illya crosses from the coffeehouse to the gallery in Act I. It actually looks much like what I recall of the area around Washington Square when I visited NYC back in '98.
Harmonica Lake? Was somebody having fun with the name of the `40s starlet, Veronica Lake?
Pointing out logical holes in this story is like mentioning paint flaws on a car that's on fire, but don't you think Sylvia's parents are far too old -- that they should have been written as grandparents? How, in the course of one day or so, did little Sylvia manage to have the pendant duplicated? And what happened with world-famous model Mari after Solo disarmed her?
Memorable lines:
Sylvia (to Illya): "Hi! Would you care for a portrait?"
Illya: "No thank you. I have one."
Sylvia: "You have really got brooding eyes. Almost like a Dostoyevsky character."
Illya (deadpan, as usual): "You don't say."
Solo (to the embubbled Illya): "I hope you scrubbed behind your ears. Isn't it a little early for your Saturday night bath?"
(Funnier, says I, if these lines had been reversed)

What I want to know is why Illya was wearing flip flops with his suit in the final scene and why neither Waverly nor anyone else said *anything* about it?! Was it a production error perhaps, that they weren't supposed to have quite so long a shot?

MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) has developed MapLite, a framework designed to allow self-driving cars to drive on roads they have never been on and without 3D maps. The system allows navigation with only GPS and sensors.
MapLite combines simple GPS data found on Google Maps with a series of sensors that observe the road conditions. A system like this that can navigate just with onboard sensors shows the potential of self-driving cars being able to actually handle roads beyond the small number that tech companies have mapped. Together, these two elements allowed the team to autonomously drive on unpaved country roads in Devens, MA, and reliably detect the road more than 100 ft (30 m) in advance.
For the testing, as part of a collaboration with the Toyota Research Institute, researchers used a Toyota Prius outfitted with a range of LiDAR and IMU sensors. MapLite uses sensors for all aspects of navigation, relying on GPS data only to obtain a rough estimate of the car's location. Its perception sensors then generate a path to reach that point, and LiDAR is used to estimate the location of the road's edges. The solution can accomplish this without physical road markings by making basic assumptions about the road being relatively flatter than surrounding areas.
It still has some limitations; it isn't yet reliable enough for mountain roads, for instance, since it doesn't account for large changes in elevation. Next, the team hopes to expand the variety of roads that the vehicle can handle. The goal is to have the system reach comparable levels of performance and reliability as mapped systems but with a much wider range.

Having improved the expertise and diversity of its board of directors by appointing two foreign outside directors last year, Hyundai Mobis announced it will appoint a new outside director who will be responsible for protecting the rights and interests of shareholders through recommendations from shareholders. The company chose this method to raise the corporate value and the rights and interests of shareholders through active communication with stakeholders such as shareholders and to establish an agile decision-making process to respond to the rapidly changing future car market.
Hyundai Mobis said on the 2nd that it would receive recommendations until the 13th this month for an outside director who will be responsible for protecting the rights and interests of shareholders at the Transparent Management Committee to strengthen the independence of the board of directors. The Transparent Management Committee is a committee under the company's board of directors set up to ▲ protect the rights and interests of shareholders, ▲ strengthen the transparency of internal transaction and ▲ promote ethical management, and it appoints an outside director who will be responsible for protecting the rights and interests of shareholders to better communicate with shareholders.
Hyundai Mobis' outside director shareholder recommendation program aims to secure the transparency of governance and strengthen the representativeness of shareholders. The intent of this is to appoint outside directors who can reflect the opinions of shareholders based on stakeholder confidence, thereby establishing transparent management environments.
The new outside director who will be responsible for protecting the rights and interests of shareholders will attend the NDR (Non–Deal Roadshow) and take charge of communication between the board of directors and shareholders. The new outside director will also deliver the opinions of shareholders to the board of directors and continuously discover policies required to improve the protection of the rights and interests of shareholders.
Any shareholder who has any number of Hyundai Mobis shares as of the end of last year is entitled to recommending one outside director candidate. To recommend a candidate, they need to complete a form, which can be downloaded from Hyundai Mobis' website (www.mobis.co.kr), and submit it by registered mail by the deadline. The recommended candidate will go through a candidate screening process by an independent advisory group and approval from the outside director candidate recommendation committee, and be appointed at a general meeting of shareholders.
Besides the new outside director for protecting the rights and interests of shareholders, all the other outside directors of Hyundai Mobis are top-notch experts in their respective areas. In addition to technology strategy director Karl Thomas Neumann, who was formerly CEO of a global automaker, and financial director Brian D. Jones, directors Yoo Ji-soo and Kim Dae-soo, who are from academia in the field of automotive industry and in the field of production and distribution, respectively, engage in the company's decision-making process, including creating a transparent management environment.
Meanwhile, Hyundai Mobis has strengthened its communication with shareholders by, for example, frequently holding company presentations for domestic and foreign investors. The company is raising market confidence through its interactive communication strategy, sharing its future growth strategies represented by autonomous driving and electrification and providing Q&A sessions by management.
In addition, the company announced its mid- to long-term shareholder return policy last year. The policy includes the company's first quarterly dividends, expansion of dividends to a total of 2.6 trillion won for 3 years and buy-back and burn. Accordingly, the company completed buy-back of its shares worth a total of 322.5 billion won last month.

Sometimes we don't talk too much about the international nature of what we do at ITI. Our shows travel all around the world, finding fans of the show in every corner! This year we have bounced around a few exotic locales including Ireland, Norway, Antigua, Singapore and Papua New Guinea. And in November we're heading to Mijas Costa in Málaga and Gibraltar for an exclusive short-run. Our own Oliver Harrison will be there playing Manuel.
Oliver Harrison has been working with ITI for four years. Initially jumping on board as one of our much-loved Manuels, Olly has slowly been expanding his work with us – performing with Confetti & Chaos (formerly The Wedding Reception) for a few years, and just recently by adding his charming children's show, Signor Baffo's Restaurant, to the ITI line-up.
Olly was raised in Spain and this year – for the first time – he is taking his Manuel to Gibraltar and Málaga. We asked Olly to share a few words with ITI's Caitlin Page about his Spanish childhood and his feelings on returning.
Caitlin: Hi Olly! Let's start with some easy stuff: tell us a bit about you – what does your theatrical background look like?
Olly: I trained at the Italia Conti Academy of Theatre Arts early on. After, I went on to professional training with amazing comedic and clown experts like Philippe Gaulier, Spymonkey, Dr Brown and Mick Barnfather. I'd say I specialise in comedy – both in a devised and physical sense.
Obviously, I perform as Manuel for Faulty Towers The Dining Experience, which I love. I also have my own children's show, Signor Baffo's Restaurant. I love that show. It bubbles over with energy! I play a hapless chef who creates chaos in the kitchen when he is left to his own devices. ITI worked with me to take it to Edinburgh Fringe this year and it went brilliantly.
I guess that's the brief summary, though there's lots more, of course!
C: How did you come to live in Spain?
O: My family moved there when I was 2. They were searching for a place in the sun and a more carefree lifestyle… and they found it. I grew up in Estepona and went to English International College in Marbella (EIC) – one of the many international schools in the area. They had a strong drama department there. At that time, Gibraltar was they key place to go to get all British commodities like Marmite and Cheddar, so we used to go fairly regularly. Now you can get that stuff everywhere!
C: Now you live in Brighton with your young daughter and wife – is there anything that you miss about living in Spain?
O: I'd say the weather, mainly, and the lack of urgency. Certainly in the south of Spain, there is a really laid-back approach to life that I think is lost when living in the UK. The classic Andaluz saying is "mañana", which means tomorrow.
C: What makes you excited about performing in Spain on this upcoming mini-tour?
O: It feels great to be performing in the place where I grew up. My passion for theatre started in my teens and it is exciting to come back and perform in the environment I grew up in. I did my first professional play with David Dunkley who was my drama teacher. They had a company that did Supper Theatre, where people watched a play while eating dinner. So on
the face of it somewhat similar to what we do, but actually very different. Now I come back there performing in immersive dining theatre. It feels full circle, in a way.
C: Oh wow! Did performing in the Supper Theatre prepare you for performing in a show like Faulty Towers The Dining Experience where the environment is more immersive?
O: Absolutely not! It is a completely different beast. What we were doing back then was very much conventional theatre fully equipped with a fourth wall. But in Faulty we are among the audience and we address them directly and they are part of the performance. Nothing can really prepare you for that other then just doing it.
C: Do you know much about Spanish theatre? What are the differences between UK theatre and Spanish theatre?
O: To be completely honest I have never really seen Spanish theatre. I am sure it is very rich, but growing up amongst ex-pats on the Costa del Sol, I didn't really have the opportunity to be exposed to it.
C: That makes total sense. Do the Spanish like the show – and will you have to change Manuel's place of birth?? Who do you think your audiences will be?
O: I am not sure that they do. I have never met a Spaniard that has seen the BBC's original show. I do know it was popular in Catalunya but they tweaked it. I believe it was translated into Spanish and they made Manuel from Napoli instead of Barcelona. Ultimately, slapstick and farcical comedy is universal as long as you know your audience. But I do think we will be playing on the Costa mainly to ex-pats, and of course Gibraltarians who speak English fluently in any case.
C: Do you think your experience of growing up in Spain influences the way you play Manuel?
O: It's possible. Though I always try to refer back to Andrew Sachs' interpretation of the character rather than 'try to make him my own'. But it certainly is an advantage to know the language as there are often Spanish speakers in the audience – as there will undoubtedly be in the November shows! – so my background does help.
C: What is your favourite part about playing Manuel?
O: The fact the audience loves him, before he even arrives. The audience feels they have a relationship with him and they know the character so well. So as long as I am playing him convincingly, then the audience are happy and I am happy.
C: OK! Last question. I know you are a theatre maker and collaborator at heart, so is there a topic you wish you could explore and make a show out of, but haven't had the chance yet?
O: haven't made any new work over the last couple of years but I can sense that over the next year I will begin to explore material for a new piece. I have no idea what that will be yet, but I feel that it is likely to be inspired by my relationship with my daughter and in general the feelings that arise from the responsibility of raising a daughter in today's world.
C: Wow. I am looking forward to that one! Thanks so much for speaking with me.
That's all we have for you this time friends. We hope you enjoy getting to know our team as much as we enjoy sharing it!
If you're in Málaga or Gibraltar between 2 and 4 November and hope to catch Faulty Towers The Dining Experience with Olly's wonderful Manuel in tow, you can hit this link to get all the details.

Hi guys! I have another review for you all, and today it is part of the Girl on the Verge Blog Tour! I'm seriously now wanting to read Forget Tomorrow now (which is also by Pintip Dunn) because the author wowed me with this book! Go read my review below!
Pintip Dunn
Published by: Kensington
Publication date: June 27th 2017
Genres: Thriller, Young Adult
From the author of The Darkest Lie comes a compelling, provocative story for fans of I Was Here and Vanishing Girls, about a high school senior straddling two worlds, unsure how she fits in either—and the journey of self-discovery that leads her to surprising truths.
In her small Kansas town, at her predominantly white school, Kanchana doesn't look like anyone else. But at home, her Thai grandmother chides her for being too westernized. Only through the clothing Kan designs in secret can she find a way to fuse both cultures into something distinctly her own.
When her mother agrees to provide a home for a teenage girl named Shelly, Kan sees a chance to prove herself useful. Making Shelly feel comfortable is easy at first—her new friend is eager to please, embraces the family's Thai traditions, and clearly looks up to Kan. Perhaps too much. Shelly seems to want everything Kanchana has, even the blond, blue-eyed boy she has a crush on. As Kan's growing discomfort compels her to investigate Shelly's past, she's shocked to find how much it intersects with her own—and just how far Shelly will go to belong…

Disclaimer: I received a free electronic copy of this book in exchange for a review. This will not affect my review in any way.
Overall Thoughts: I'm surprised that I finished this book in two days. Two days!!! It might not have been that long, but I couldn't put it down, especially in school. I'm glad I got to skip Wellness (I was done with my Pacer Test exam so…) because it gave me enough time to finish it. Girl on the Verge hooked me so much I just devoured it. From the suspicious start to the suspenseful ending, it kept me on the edge of my seat. Funny story, I couldn't stop reacting to this book that twice I stood up because I was flipped off by the characters. I was like "How could you?" It definitely exceeded my expectations. I thought I was in for a coming-of-age-esque story, so I did not think I was in store for a dark, twisted thriller.
Twists and Turns: Let me tell you, the book gets darker and darker and darker. At the beginning, I was wondering Shelly and Kan's friendship because it felt too good to be true. It was. But I can't tell you why or what is going on. The author is super clever with everything! I love how the third-person point of view for Shelly changes the story each time. I did not expect anything… well I didn't expect mostly everything (see "The Shocking Surprise"), but I was reacting the whole time. It's like watching a movie when you're by yourself; you can't stop with the commentary. I could not stop going "Oh my gosh!!!" in this book. It was that great.
Thrills and Chills: Like I said before, this book will keep you on the edge of your seat! There's no such thing as "one last chapter" in this book. The book sucks you in like a movie; you just cannot put it down! You'd be shocked at what goes on in the book, and how everything clicks together at the end. It really reminds me of We Were Liars, but it's better. It definitely is chilling the deeper you go into it. It starts off like everything's normal and then you go into a deep, dark hole full of suspense and angst. It's chilling to think about!
The Shocking Surprise: There's a big twist at the end that changes the entire story, but it's somewhat predictable. I was able to suspect what it was, which softened the big blow. I like those stories that you cannot expect what happens at the end, like We Were Liars (which by the way had a great twist but not-so-great execution). Is it still shocking? Yes! I mean, my mouth was hanging open for a long time regarding everything. My mind is a bit blown from it!
Concluding Thoughts: If I would create a pitch of this book, I would recommend this for fans of We Were Liars. You keep on questioning everything. You side with Kan and become suspicious with Shelly. Yet you know what Kan doesn't know and you just want her to know so badly! It transcends We Were Liars because this is actually executed cleverly. No wonder why Kirkus raves about this book! I probably should go read some more books by Pintip Dunn now.
Happy Reading!

Karnataka Home Minister G Parameshwara today resigned from the post following the Congress leadership's decision to continue with him as the party's state unit chief ahead of the 2018 Assembly polls.
A day after the Congress announced structural changes keeping in mind the Assembly polls, Parameshwara submitted his resignation to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah.
Announcing that Siddaramaiah would be the party's chief ministerial face in the next Assembly polls, the Congress had yesterday asked Parameshwara to resign from the cabinet and devote himself to his duties as the party's state unit chief.
"As per the high-command's decision, I am submitting my resignation," Parameshwara told reporters here before meeting the chief minister.
Parameshwara, a Dalit, was sworn-in as home minister on November 2, 2015. He did not get the deputy chief minister's post he was aspiring for, but held the post of the party's state unit chief.
Thanking Congress president Sonia Gandhi and vice- president Rahul Gandhi for continuing with him as the Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) chief, he said, "It is a challenge."
Terming the other organisational changes as a "measure to strengthen" the party, Parameshwara said, "We will strive together to ensure that the party retains power in Karnataka."
The Congress had yesterday appointed S R Patil as the working president of its Karnataka unit, along with the present working president, Dinesh Gundurao, and state Power Minister D K Shivakumar as the chairman of the campaign committee.
Adopting a "please all" formula by performing a "balancing act" of accommodating all the castes and communities, it had included MP and former Union minister K H Muniyappa as a special invitee to the Congress Working Committee, the top decision-making body of the party.
Another tribal leader, Satish Jarkiholi, was appointed as an All India Congress Committee (AICC) secretary.
Parameshwara said the organisational restructuring was effected by the high-command keeping the election in mind.
"Yes, I would have continued as the home minister, but I would also have to spend more time in preparing the party workers for the election," he added.
Asked about the "caste balance" maintained in the organisational restructuring, he said, "We do not believe in it, but everyone needs to get a representation. Everyone needs to get an opportunity to work in a team."
The Congress had always maintained an "inclusive approach", Parameshwara added.
He played down the speculation that he was being demoted in the party with Siddaramaiah being its chief ministerial face and working presidents and a campaign committee president also being present saying, "Everyone has been given a responsibility...it is not a promotion or demotion.
"...you have to see that I am still continuing as the (state unit) president. The high-command has reposed its confidence in me."
Stating that he had not received any indication from the high-command regarding not contesting the Assembly polls, Parameshwara said the matter would be discussed in the days to come.
To a question on his chief ministerial aspirations, he said, "There is no need for such discussions now, our only aim is to ensure that the party retains power in the state. As regards who will be the chief minister, a decision will be taken by the high-command when the time comes.
"We take it as a big challenge. The 2018 election is an important one for us. The entire country is looking at Karnataka, because we are among the few states where the Congress is in power. It is all the more important because we have done well as a government."
Parameshwara added that long ago, he had voluntarily expressed his intentions to resign from the cabinet if the party wanted him to focus on strengthening the state unit.
Asked about the BJP's talk of an early election, he said, "We are ready for the polls whenever the dates are decided. But, as per my knowledge, the polls will be held only after the current government completes its term."
Asked about the call within the party for a Dalit chief minister projecting him, Parameshwara said, "I do not know anything about it. Please do not create confusion.... Now, I am continuing as the party's state unit president and will work 24x7. It is irrelevant at this moment."

The Politico took a bold step today and reported on the Marxist paper by Barack Obama Sr. that was making the rounds last week on conservative blogs. This follows the questions posed yesterday by William Kristol on Barack Obama Jr.'s Marxist slant.
The article "Long-lost Article by Obama's Dad Surfaces" by by Ben Smith and Jeffrey Ressner discusses the Marxist thesis published by Barack Obama's father back in 1965:
Barack Obama's dad was such an important but absent figure in his life that he devoted his first book, Dreams From My Father, to the search for details about his father's life and how the quest helped forge a son's identity.
Now, a long-forgotten essay written 43 years ago by Obama's father has surfaced, and its contents reveal much not only about the senior Obama's grasp of economic theory but also the iconoclastic politics that, his son would later write, sent him into the spiral of career disappointment that concluded with his death in 1982 in his native Kenya.
Advertisement - story continues below
Parts of the article, titled "Problems Facing Our Socialism," have been making the rounds on several small blogs over the past week, but Politico is now reproducing the entire piece in its original form online for the first time…
…Greg Ransom, a blogger who unearthed the journal at UCLA's library, calls the article "the Rosebud" that provides the missing key to Obama's memoir. Ransom wrote about its contents recently in a posting with the provocative headline, "Obama Hid His Father's Socialist and Anti-Western Convictions From His Readers."

(It was a good article by the Politico except for the fact that those "small blogs" included HotAir, Little Green Footballs, Gateway Pundit, Ace of Spades, Marginal Revolution– blogs that are not so small.)
Here is the cover of that paper from 1965 by the communist Barack H. Obama Sr.:
PrestoPundit was a little more direct with his assessment of the article including Obama Senior's desire of:

— 100% taxation
— communal farms / the elimination of private farming
— the nationalization of businesses owned by "Europeans" and "Asians".
— "active" measures to bring about a classless society
It looks like the fruit truly does not fall far from the vine.
Hmm… The "Dreams of My Father" Were Communist In Nature
UPDATE: Michelle Malkin has a not so glowing review of the left-wing piece.
