LONDON (AP) — British filmmaker Terence Davies, best known for a pair of powerful, lyrical movies inspired by his childhood in postwar Liverpool, has died at the age of 77. Davies’ manager John Taylor said the director died “peacefully at home in his sleep” on Saturday after a short illness. After making several short films, Davies made his feature debut as writer-director in 1988 with “Distant Voices, Still Lives,” a dreamlike — sometimes nightmarish — collage of a film that evoked a childhood of poverty and violence leavened by music and movie magic. The film won the Cannes International Critics Prize in 1988, and in 2002 was voted the ninth-best film of the past 25 years by British film critics. The autobiographical films opened the door to bigger budgets and more mainstream films, still showcasing Davies' distinctive lyricism and often set in the 19th or early 20th centuries.

I advise young engineers today to work for Fortune 500 companies, not Big Tech. Today, however, he's working on a project for a different kind of tech company: John Deere. There is no magic at Big Tech companies, there's only money. And Fortune 500 companies simply don't have the luxury of buying talent just to park it. Today, all companies are tech companies, and they all want to see more recurring revenue in their business models, which means they need smart, restless engineers.

☆ Rachel Weisz and the Glorious Horrors of Pregnancy
▼ + stars: | 2023-04-21 | by ( Alexandra Kleeman | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +3 min

“Why are you wearing my vagina like it’s a [expletive] glove?” shouts one patient at the doctors working busily out of view. In the television world, babies are a convenient way to reinvigorate stale interpersonal dynamics, or a point of narrative pressure that forces characters to make dramatic choices. We’re used to a certain sleight of hand, carefully placed cuts and scenes where fresh-looking mothers in hospital gowns hold clean, swaddled infants in their arms. Real birthing is something more radical: Pregnancy involves a terraforming of the body that might appear terrifying if you were to see it at time-lapse speed. Thinking about all this puts birth in a different generic register depending on how it is framed and depicted.

☆ The Fed only cares about inflation. That's bad news
▼ + stars: | 2022-10-12 | by ( Paul R. La Monica | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +5 min

It seems that Powell wants to atone for his mistake of repeatedly calling inflation “transitory” for much of last year. Keep in mind that the Fed’s series of rate hikes are unprecedented in the “modern” era of central banking, i.e. after Alan Greenspan became Fed chair in 1987 and the Fed became far more transparent. Rate hikes raise the costs for companies to pay down their debt, increasing the possibility of corporate bankruptcies and defaults on commercial loans. As long as inflation remains the bigger issue for the economy, the Fed is going to focus more on getting prices under control.

☆ A weed gummy theory for the Fed’s high-stakes interest rate gamble

Here’s the thing: The Fed right now is wearing blinders, and it only cares about bringing down inflation, my colleague Paul R. La Monica writes. The Weed Gummy TheoryThere’s an analogy offered by investment analyst Peter Boockvar last month that I can’t stop thinking about. He compared the Fed to an eager but inexperienced consumer of weed gummies, which, notoriously, take longer than anyone expects to kick in. Bankruptcies: Rate hikes make it more expensive for companies to pay down debt, increasing the risk of corporate bankruptcies and defaults. The so-called PPI, which tracks what suppliers charge other businesses for goods and services, showed prices going up 8.5% from a year ago.

„A fost delicios”, a declarat o clientă a restaurantului, care a făcut rezervare cu câteva luni înainte. Prima țară care a aprobat comercializarea cărnii crescute în laborator, realizată din proteine pe bază de plante este Singapore, unde în luna decembrie 2020 a fost servită în premieră carne de pui artificială la un restaurant. Prima friptură „in vitro”, concepută din celule stem de vacă de un om de ştiinţă olandez de la Universitatea Maastricht, Mark Post, a fost prezentată în 2013. Carnea in vitro este o modalitate prin care s-ar putea „creşte securitatea alimentară în întreaga lume, printr-un proces durabil, prietenos cu animalele şi eficient”, a a spus el. Însă puiul in vitro este carne?
