Soundtrack review: A simple favor (Theodore Shapiro – 2018)
"A Simple Favor" is a 2018 American mystery film directed by Paul Feig from a screenplay by Jessica Sharzer, based on the 2017 novel of the same name by Darcey Bell. The film stars Anna Kendrick, Blake Lively, Henry Golding and Andrew Rannells, and follows a small-town blogger who tries to solve the disappearance of her mysterious and rich best friend. Theodore Shapiro wrote the score.
The opening, title cue introduces an old friend that doesn't come to visit much lately: that sound that sits and laughs sarcastically right on the edge between dark and comedic, a lighter version of the sound I usually hear in Coen brothers movies and a livelier, more varied version of the sound Alexandre Desplat writes for Wes Anderson movies. "A simple favour" is written in that vein, both elegant and evil; in this score I can sense a malicious presence which is in the same time fascinating and, at some points, lovable. I think the closest resemblance is Gabriel Yared's "The talented Mr. Ripley" from many years ago. It's a composition I easily get lost in, velvety, riddle like and I don't even notice the passing from one cue to the next as I am immersed in the musical mystery. There is a main theme I first notice in the opening cue, a simple piano variation built like a question mark that sneaks back in quite often throughout the score up to the point where it's played on a harpsichord I think in "Grim news".
There's something soothing, almost hypnotic about this album; the mix of live instruments and electronic sounds works very well and there's always something glimmering in the score, like a chime, or a bell, instruments are being struck together to make these positive sounds that break the mystery every now and then. And once again that main theme or should I say main motif since it's so short, comes up even in chiming form to anchor the score. This is the kind of minimalistic music I simply absorb; don't look for highlights or memorable cues because "A simple favour" is all about the texture, the smooth, silky quiet texture that becomes quite addictive as the score progresses.
"A simple favour" is the perfect minimalistic thriller score I didn't know I was looking for; it is fascinating from beginning to end and the kind of score that does not need the support of the images to be rewarding. I enjoyed the story it told me, I got list in it often and I am curious as to which nuances I am going to discover when I will listen to it again.
Cue rating: 83 / 100

Talks aimed at averting a strike by fuel tanker drivers have been adjourned and will resume after Easter after "constructive" discussions.
Leaders of the Unite union have spent the past two days meeting officials from six distribution firms to try to resolve a dispute over terms and conditions and health and safety.
Acas chief conciliator Peter Harwood said: "After 24 hours of discussions over two days between Unite and the six fuel distribution contractors, talks adjourned at 10pm this evening with the parties agreeing to meet again with Acas next Tuesday.
"The discussions have been constructive with the parties positively engaged and committed to the process. We are pleased that they have agreed to continue their discussions with Acas next week.
"Of course, everyone will be respecting the confidentiality of the process. Therefore, no further comment will be made by any of the parties involved."
The dispute over terms and conditions and health and safety has been brewing for more than a year but flared up last month when Unite announced that workers in five firms had voted to strike.
The Government advised motorists to top up with fuel, leading to chaotic scenes at garages across the country as people queued for petrol.
There was much criticism of the way the Government handled the prospect of a strike and Labour led calls for the resignation of Cabinet Office Minister Francis Maude for advising motorists earlier to store jerry cans of fuel in their garages.
Unite has previously announced it would not strike over Easter following the panic buying which led to long queues at garages last week. The Government was criticised for urging motorists to fill up their cars with petrol even though no strikes had been called.
The union will have to give seven days notice of any industrial action.

TRUE...TRUE...TRUE...Most Def gotta be the spirit FIRST. Because thats what called Abraham from the UR of Babylon (while still being uncircumsised. A foreshadow for the nations outside Israel).But at the same time Acts 17:30 says "HE winks at us in our times of ignorance, but "NOW" commands "ALL" men to repent. And remember he said you must worship IN SPIRIT and TRUTH. (I speak as a man), I think its personally up to the individual after he/she has been confronted with TRUTH whether they still want to STAY in a LIE. My question is "WHY"?

- Wind
- Back to Project Map
The 184 megawatt (MW) Kelly Creek Wind Project located located 60 miles southwest of Chicago in Ford and Kankakee counties, is comprised of 92 Vestas V100 wind turbines. The facility will generate enough electricity to power the equivalent of 58,000 average Illinois homes, according to US Energy Information Administration. This is equivalent to avoiding more than 474,000 metric tons of CO₂ emissions annually, which represents the greenhouse gas emissions from 100,000 passenger vehicles driven over the course of one year. The Project will sell electricity into the PJM wholesale market on a merchant basis and went online in December 2016.

Tesla Powerwall sets itself apart from other battery storage companies by continuously updating the software of customers' products remotely to include entirely new features instead of forcing consumers to buy a new version with upgraded features.
Tesla Software Updates
Powerwall customers, rejoice. Tesla just released a software update for Powerwall 2 which adds a mode called Storm Watch. Customers in certain (unannounced) regions will notice this added feature on their Tesla app. With Storm Watch enabled, Powerwall 2 will continuously check weather forecasts. When Powerwall 2 sees a storm coming, it will automatically switch modes to "Backup Only" and will be exclusively discharged in the event of a power outage.
Automatic Power Outage Protection
Powerwall has always given users the ability to protect their homes against power outages. The "Backup Only" mode is not the setting most customers use on a daily basis. Instead, they are using modes which store their solar production to be used at night or to store energy from the grid to use during peak pricing. Users would then have to manually switch the mode to save power before an approaching storm. This cumbersome process can be the difference between a charged Powerwall and customers left in the dark during a storm. Storm Watch aims to fix that, just in time for peak hurricane season.
One neighborhood in Puerto Rico is experiencing first hand the benefits that a solar system paired with Powerwall can provide. Following the destruction of Hurricane Maria last summer, many communities on the island are still without reliable power. Except for Israel Melendez, Jr. Israel Melendez Jr. had previously installed a 12kW solar system and 3 Tesla Powerwalls that kept his house functioning completely off the grid following the hurricane. He was even producing double the amount of energy he needed to keep his home fully functioning. This excess energy was then transferred back to the grid for his neighbors to utilize.

For more information on all the modes Powerwall 2 users can choose from, click here. For more on how Powerwall adds resiliency to any home, check out this blog post or our Powerwall 2 product page.

The show aired last night and although i have watched the program a few times, there was such a connection to this family that i could not stop sobbing; they are strong and beautiful! Mary Beth from Mary Beth Tyson Photography and I volunteered to spend some time with the family on "door knock" day and also visit with them for portraits at their beach rental. Here's a slideshow with some of my images from those days:It was an honor and a privilege to work with EMHE and the Kadzis family!
