Over 25 years ago, the Japanese film, RINGU (1998), led a wave of horror films that took some sort of object and turned it into a talisman. Supernatural evil then begins to haunt or curse teenagers or college co-eds leaving many dead, and the remainder including the survivor girl being unable to ever escape the paranormal blight that follows them forever. The Australian film, TALK TO ME (2023), took the common trope and made it feel fresher than it deserved to be.Mia (Sophie Wilde) and her friend Jade (Alexandra Jensen) head to a house party where their high school friends have come upon an embalmed hand that can turn spirits corporeal for the person who holds the hand. When Jade's little brother Riley (Joe Bird) wants a try, things turn deadly as a curse leaves Riley injured and forces Mia into a conundrum that could ultimately lead to her death.Two new filmmakers, brothers Danny and Michael Philippou, directed this surprise A24 hit. Receiving fairly impressive reviews from reviewers while being enjoyed by audiences, the movie made $92M USD at the box office against a budget of $4.5M USD. With its success, the film landed up on many top ten lists of 2023. Dark Discussions takes a look at this interesting film and gives their thoughts.

Long time actress and comedian Elizabeth Banks entered the directing ranks with PITCH PERFECT 2 (2015) followed by the reboot of CHARLIE'S ANGLES (2019). Both films received mixed reactions by audiences and also critics. Her latest COCAINE BEAR (2023) also has had mixed reactions from both critics and audiences alike however it has received some note for its very eclectic style.When a drug smuggler drops a shipment of cocaine out of a flying airplane over the Georgia wilderness, he mistakenly knocks himself unconscious while disembarking the plane. The results leave a dead smuggler and bags of cocaine lost in the forest. Soon a group of nature lovers, forest rangers, European tourists, police officers, children playing hooky, St. Louis drug smugglers, a concerned mother, and a group of teenage criminals all ironically meet up in the state park only to find out that a local black bear has ingested some of the illegal substances and gone violently mad.On her third try, Elizabeth Banks may have established herself as much of a director as she is an actress and comedian. The movie includes the final role of Ray Liotta (and it is dedicated to him). The film was released on February 24th, 2023 with a budget of $35M USD. The film has gone on to make $66.5M USD and earned itself a cult following. Your co-hosts take a look at this curious film and give their thoughts on what sounds like an absurd movie.

What are the difficulties of trying to open multiple markets while not being physically present? Why are you having issues in your home market?

Lanefinder provides a job search and matching platform completely tailored to the wants and needs of truck drivers who have historically had to rely on word of mouth referrals and general job sites to find work. “With Lanefinder, a driver can find exactly what he or she is looking for in a matter of seconds instead of spending days plowing through job sites, taking 30-40 recruiter calls or chatting up other drivers at truck stops. We believe all skilled labor markets will expect and demand this type of job search efficiency in the future and Lanefinder is now leading the way in arguably the most important industry in the US.” Says Patrick Gilmore, Co-Founder and CTO. As opposed to the typical Pay Up Front advertising models job sites offer trucking companies today, Lanefinder does not charge anything for having their jobs searchable on the platform. Lanefinder instead offers a Pay Per Hire, performance based model for companies who need to recruit at greater speed. https://hrtechfeed.com/youcruit-raises-11-5m-usd-for-trucking-job-search-platform/ In a surprising move the owner of Dice has invested in employer branding platform, The Muse.

This strategic move will equip job seekers with valuable, insightful, and up-to-date career advice to help them navigate job searching in today's market. “I have been a long-time fan of Job-Hunt's dedication to high-quality content around the many varied and sometimes quite challenging aspects of job searching,” said Sara Sutton, founder and CEO of FlexJobs. “Bringing Job-Hunt under the FlexJobs umbrella is a natural extension of FlexJobs' mission to help job seekers be successful in their job search and career, and we are excited to connect even more people to the incredible wealth of resources that Job-Hunt.org offers,” Sutton concluded.

Both companies have made helping the job seeker their number one priority from the beginning, and I know that this acquisition will strengthen that mission and help even more job seekers be successful in their job searches,” Joyce concluded. https://hrtechfeed.com/flexjobs-announces-acquisition-of-the-popular-job-hunt-blog/ QJumpers, an innovative sourcing and recruitment software provider, today announced its newest product, AI Talent Sourcing. The tool scours publicly available information and uses artificial intelligence to find, rank and engage highly qualified, passive job candidates that previously could not be found through traditional sourcing and advertising methods. AI Talent Sourcing is an offshoot of another product launched two years ago which was embedded into the QJumpers Applicant Tracking System (ATS). Due to client demand, QJumpers has released a new and improved version that can be used independently of the ATS. Recruiters can either paste a job description into the tool and let the AI generate its own candidate search specification, or they can create their own. AI Talent Sourcing then presents a list of candidates ranked by how well they match this search criteria. Candidate profiles are created by combining pieces of information from publicly available data, such as networking sites, social media, company websites and blogs. The results can be refined further by specifying preferences such as location, skills, education, and years' experience. It can also be used for diversity hiring. https://hrtechfeed.com/hr-tech-bytes-driverreach-qjumpers/

Imagine starting a recruitment business at the age of 54, having never worked in the recruiting industry before, and becoming a “big biller” within 5 years. In this episode of the Resilient Recruiter, you'll meet Irishman Paul Taaffe, founder and CEO of FINANCE People Solutions based in Frankfurt, Germany. Prior to starting his business in 2014, he was either a CFO or CRO for US global blue-chip companies such as Pepsi Cola, Nike, Lear Corporation, and Dell. I asked Paul to come on the show and discuss his extraordinary success running a boutique search firm. Paul has doubled the business, on average, every year and last year managed to bill €4,000,000 in revenue! That's over $4.5M USD. Sure, that figure is the gross sales and includes both permanent placement and interim revenue, so the Net Fee Income will be somewhat less. Still very impressive considering Paul is the sole fee earner, supported by a small team. In fact, Paul has built so much momentum that he closed five deals this April despite the coronavirus pandemic. Episode Outline and Highlights [4:22] History of Finance People Solutions (FPS) [6:37] What is Paul's recipe for success? [9:00] Three aspects that help Paul to leverage relationship in recruitment. [14:30] How to level up from having a professional relationship to a professional friendship. [19:25] Coronavirus experience: Three keys to keeping things moving forward. [26:16] FPS's structure and how efficiency is integrated into each role. [31:18] Successful basis for acquiring new customers [32:00] Paul shares his advertising strategy with FINANCE Magazin. Hear his interesting narrative on how he came about with this idea. [41:00] How Paul engineered his five placements in April - during the coronavirus. [45:30] Explanation of the interim-to-perm business model. Being an “unkompliziert” person When it comes to building sustainable candidate relationships, Paul believes that it all comes down to personality. He is an uncomplicated (unkompliziert in German) person, and because of that, he is able to easily connect with candidates that he treats as friends. Paul said, “Mark, I have become friends with so many of these candidates. They are not just candidates, that sounds very cold. They are friends or business friends of mine.” Explaining his interim-to-perm business model Paul was able to describe how his interim-to-perm business model has successfully provided solutions to a lot of his clients. This solution de-risks the hiring process for his customer. As Paul puts it, “Over the last few years, we are doing more and more interim business because it is the instant solution kind of thing.” For him, “It is like delivering quality results in a very short period of time.” Paul Taffe Bio and Contact Info Paul is the founder and CEO of FINANCE People Solutions (PFS) in 2014. He has been in the recruitment business since 2014, and prior to that, he was either a CFO or CRO for US global blue-chip companies such as Pepsi Cola, Nike, Lear Corporation, and Dell as well as having worked in Private Equity. He founded the PE Finance Organisation Benchmarking company, Taaffe, and Partners in 2011.

Będzie o tym jak Binance przezał 2.4M USD w postaci zaopatrzenia medycznego, a także o tym jak MakerDAO Foundation ogłosiła, iż za 2 lata nie będą w ogóle potrzebni. Ale to nie wszystko. Amerykańskie agencje CFTC i SEC cały czas tropią oszustów i zamykają kolejne gówno-biznesy. Ostatni hit - były pastor, który oferował inwestorom alkaliczną wodę za tokeny i okradł ludzi na 0.5M USD. Oczywiście obiecywał wielkie zwroty. Poza tym wydarzenia, przegląd Twittera, airdrop tygodnia, analiza sytuacji na rynku i podsumowanie. Idealny układ na sam koniec tygodnia.

At only eighteen years old, Miha Matlievski found himself well on his way to becoming a successful entrepreneur. Just twelve years later, his hard work led him to four successful businesses with a net worth of 15M USD. On December 7, 2009, the tables turned. An unexpected call brought his world crashing down around him. One negative event after another created an avalanche of ruin. What started with the bank’s decision to foreclose the investments Miha had tied up in real estate would two weeks later lead to four once successful companies being bankrupted. The devastation was catastrophic. Miha couldn’t believe it; his greatest assets, 15M USD, became a collective debt of 5M USD. Though he did what he could to stay positive, nothing seemed to work in his favor. Completely lost, his depression skyrocketed. His permanent state of anxiety got the best of him, and constantly held him captive. Anything from a text message to even a stranger walking by seemed to push him over the edge. He was afraid to meet people, as he knew there were many he owed an abundant amount of money too. Some went as far as sending him death threats. He couldn’t see a clear future for himself; there was no light at the end of the tunnel. All he wanted was silence. By the end of 2010, he’d come to the conclusion that he couldn’t keep living in such a constant state of inner turmoil. The thought of suicide crawled through his mind and would not dare leave. And so he romanticized the thought of suicide so much that he was literally ready to throw himself over his balcony railings. Overcome with desperation, he yelled, “You failed!” It was at that moment the thought of his mother arose; she would be the next in line to assume his debts. He knew he couldn’t allow her to take on the evidence of his failure. Initially, it was the word “you” that showed him that his situation was his fault. He found himself enlightened and finally stopped blaming others for his shortcomings. A night of desperation had taken him back to his humble beginnings. He was ready to start fresh. His “ah-ha!” moment made him realize that his days of being outnumbered slowly had transitioned into him outworking them, thus learning to embrace his failure and begin anew. This time, it would be on his terms. Miha took charge of his own life once again. In 2014, he was able to build a new startup, growing it from $0 USD to 8 Figures in less than a year. He was able to prove to himself and others that he could learn from his past. As the story went viral in Slovenia, many publications approached him, and he is now known as The Fail Coach. Nowadays, Miha helps entrepreneurs around the world embrace a healthy relationship with failure. He also helps them reach a higher level of success. For him, leaving a legacy is about the emotional side of how you can go broke and still come out of it alive. To learn from those failures is a reward of itself.

The Ripple credit network has emerged as the payment backbone withindisputable advantages for financial institutions and the remittanceindustry. Ripple's market capitalization is currently third only toBitcoin and Ethereum. Its path-based IOweYou (IOU) settlements acrossdifferent currencies conceptually distinguishes the Ripple blockchainfrom the cryptocurrencies (such as Bitcoin) and makes it highly suitableto an orthogonal yet vast set of applications in the remittance worldand beyond. In this talk, I present our recent study of the structure and evolutionof the Ripple network since its inception, and our research resultsregarding its vulnerability to attacks that harm the IOU credit of itswallets. We find that about 13M USD are at risk in the current Ripplenetwork due to inappropriate configuration of the rippling flag oncredit links that paves the way to undesired redistribution of creditacross those links. Although the Ripple network has grown around a fewhighly connected hub (gateway) wallets that make the core of the networkand provide high liquidity to users, such credit link distributionresults in a user base of around 112,000 wallets that can be financiallyalienated by as few as 10 highly connected gateway wallets. Indeed,today about 4.9M USD cannot be withdrawn by their owners from the Ripplenetwork due to PayRoutes, a gateway tagged as faulty by the Ripplecommunity. Finally, we observe that stale exchange offers pose a realproblem, and exchanges (market makers) have not always been vigilantabout periodically updating their exchange offers according to currentreal-world exchange rates. For example, stale offers were used by 84Ripple wallets to gain more than 4.5M USD from mid-July to mid-August2017. Our findings should prompt the Ripple community to improve thehealth of the network by educating its users on increasing theirconnectivity, and by appropriately maintaining the credit limits,rippling flags, and exchange offers on their IOU credit links.

Welcome the newest episode of Dark Discussions, your place for the discussion of horror film, fiction, and all that’s fantastic. Is this the year for theatrical released horror or what? The new film, Happy Death Day, not only follows in the footsteps of Annabelle Creation, It, Split, and Get Out with great reviews, but it topped the box office its first week as well. Costing only $5M USD, it already has grossed over $36M USD. And again like its predecessors, it is loved by both critic and audiences alike. Theresa Gelbman wakes up in the dorm room of Carter Davis, someone she would not ever be caught dead with. After escaping that circumstance, her day goes as normal until she is murdered while walking down a dark sidewalk heading to a frat party. But she wakes up and finds herself once more in Carter Davis’s dorm room. Now besides the fact that she had been murdered, she now is stuck in a time loop. Ultimately, she decides to try to find out who her murderer is hoping to break out of the loop. Directed by prolific screenwriter Christopher Landon, this follow up to his films, Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones and Scout’s Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse, has turned out to be a breakout not only for him but actress newcomer Jessica Rothe. Dark Discussions takes a look at this new film and determines whether it lives up to the hype.
