Podcasts about Fukunaga

Visticamāk, būsiet pamanījuši, ka dažas Vecrīgas ielas aizvadītā pusgada laikā bija aizņēmis lielais kino. Vairākas epizodes savai jaunākajai filmai uzņēma arī japāņu izcelsmes amerikāņu režisors Kerijs Džoudži Fukunaga (Cary Joji Fukunaga). Tā top pēc norvēģu kriminālromānu autora Jū Nesbē grāmatas "Asinis uz sniega" (Blood on Snow) motīviem. Kultūras rondo saruna ar režisoru pirms viņš devās prom no Latvijas. 47 gadus vecais japāņu izcelsmes amerikāņu režisors Kerijs Džoudži Fukunaga pasaulē ir zināms gan kā režisors, gan izpildproducents, gan scenārists. Viņa spilgtāko darbu sarakstā ir tādas filmas, kā aģents 007 Džeims Bonds „No Time To Die” jeb „Nav laika mirt”, TV seriāla „True Detective” pirmā sezona, kas vēl šobaltdien tiek uzskatīta par žanra šedevru, kā arī vēsturiskā drāma „Džeina Eira”. Fukunaga ir strādājis ar tādām pasaules mēroga zvaigznēm kā Daniels Kreigs, Maikls Fasbenders, Eva Grīna, Džūdija Denča, Benedikts Kamberbačs, Vudijs Harelsons, Metju Makhonahijs un vēl daudziem citiem. Aizvadītā pusgada laikā Fukunaga vairākas epizodes savai jaunākajai filmai „Asinis uz sniega”, kas tapusi pēc slavenā norvēģu kriminālromānu autora Jū Nesbē darba "Blood on Snow" motīviem, filmēja Rīgā. Šobrīd filmēšanas darbi ir beigušies un Kerijs Fukunaga pirms došanās prom piekrita īsai sarunu. Viņš atnāca uz Latvijas Radio māju un uzreiz teica, ka šī būtu ļoti laba kino lokācija. Ir darba dienas vēls vakars un ar režisoru sarunājamies Kultūras rondo redakcijā gan par kino, gan viņa kā brīvprātīgā darbu kara plosītajā Ukrainā un arī par to, ko Amerikas kinoļaudis domā par savas valsts ārpolitiku šobrīd. Kā Rīga nokļuva jūsu redzes lokā filmas "Asinis uz sniega" vajadzībām? Kerijs Fukunaga: Mūsu lokāciju menedžerei Marijai Derkevičai jau bija iestrādes Rīgā no iepriekšējās filmas izpētes, un tā filmas diemžēl netika pabeigta. Bet viņa, zinot mūsu vajadzības, zināja teikt, ka Rīgā ir ļoti daudz līdzīgu un raksturīgu ēku, kas atgādina 70. gadu Oslo, un tieši šajā laika posmā risinās "Asinis uz sniega" darbība. Pati Oslo mūsdienās galīgi neatgādina to pilsētu, kāda tā bija septiņdesmitajos - tā ir pilsēta, kas atrodas kalnainā ielejā, turklāt daži tās rajoni ir mainījušies līdz nepazīšanai, daži pat nojaukti vispār. Toreiz, pirms 10 gadiem, teroristu uzbrukuma dēļ esot nācies nojaukt pat veselu kvartālu. Arī tā pati Stokholma, Malme vai Kopenhāgena, Reikjavīka ir mainījušās. Tāpēc Rīga bija labākā izvēle. Turklāt šeit ir vairākas lietas, kuras filmas vajadzībām varam vairāk atļauties, piemēram, darbaspēks ir lētāks nekā citur. Materiāli gan nekļūst lētāki filmas setu būvēšanai, jo daudz kas tomēr jāved un jāimportē. Tas objektīvi ceļ cenu, bet darbaspēks noteikti ir faktors, kāpēc izvēlējāmies Rīgu. Piemēram, mēs nupat trīs setus būvējām Londonā, un tas bija teju uz pusi dārgāk nekā Rīgā. (..) Mums pašiem šeit tā ir liela lieta - zināt, ka tepat pa Vecrīgu, iespējams, pastaigājas tādas zvaigznes kā Benedikts Kamberbačs un Eva Grīna, kura pat apmeklēja tavu izstādi Rīgā. Lai arī tu esi režisors, priekšnieks, kurš vada, bet tik un tā - kā ir tev pašam? Esi strādājis ar Danielu Kreigu Džeimsa Bonda filmā un citām zvaigznēm. Kā tas ir? Kerijs Fukunaga: Šobrīd, kad aiz muguras jau tik daudz darbu un filmu, es teiktu, ka tik ļoti neuztraucos vairāk. Bet atceros, kas taisīju savu vēsturisko filmu "Džeina Eira", kur galvenajās lomās bija tādas zvaigznes kā Maikls Fasbenders, Mia Vasikovska un Džūdija Denča, es domāju, ko gan es kā režisors varu vispār ietekmēt tik pieredzējušas aktrises kā Džūdija Denča aktierspēle? Tā kā es un viņas aģents esam labi draugi, turklāt es vispār toreiz tikai sāku tik lielus soļus spert lielajā kino, mani mierināja un teica, ka tieši Džūdija ir ļoti atvērta un ieinteresēta šajā sadarbībā. Un tā, pamazām strādājot ar šīm zvaigznēm, es pats ar katru reizi aizvien vairāk redzu viņus kā cilvēcīgas būtnes, nevis to grandiozo sasniegumu sarakstu, kas viņiem katram ir. Un otra lieta, ko minēji, ka režisors ir tas priekšnieks, te  man jāsaka, ka kino tomēr ir kolektīva māksla un režisors ir viena no sadaļām. Ir aktieri, studija īpašnieki, producenti un tā tālāk. Tā kā tam projekta pilotam ir jāspēj visi pasažieri nogādāt galapunktā. Kāda ir tā realitāte medaļas otrā pusē, kā tas ir - strādāt, piemēram, pie Džeimsa Bonda jeb aģenta 007 filmas? Kerijs Fukunaga: Katru reizi, kad strādāju pie liela projekta, vienmēr šķiet, ka es uzsūcu jaunas zināšanas, kuras noteikti varēšu izmantot nākamajā projektā. Bonda gadījumā tas lielākais izaicinājums bija laiks. Nevis tur kaut kāds atsevišķs lietu kalendārs, bet laiks kopumā. Es Bondu pārņēmu, kad tikko prom bija devies Denijs Boils. Un, kā jau šajās milzu budžeta augsta tempa filmās, daudz kas ir atkarīgs no tā datuma, kad tiek noteikta pirmizrāde un kā tiek sakārtots lokāciju kalendārs. Līdz ar to daudzas scenārija lietas tiek piekoriģētas pēdējā mirklī. Tu vari iedomāties, ka tik lielos projektos daudz ko izlemj gadiem iepriekš, un pēc tam pie tā ir jāturas. Mēs Bondu no A līdz Z pabeidzām 18 mēnešos. Ar visu to, ka jau bija sākusies COVID epidēmija, mēs to paspējām, un tas vēl ir relatīvi ātri. Mums vajadzēja ar visiem kaskadieriem, specefektu departamenta dublieriem jau darīt lietas laicīgi, pirms vispār pirmā scenārija aprises bija gatavas. Tā kā laiks Džeimsa Bonda filmā bija vislielākais izaicinājums. Kerijs Džoudži Fukunaga kā brīvprātīgais ir arī strādājis Ukrainā, kurp viņš devās 2022.gadā uzreiz pēc Krievijas uzsāktās pilna mēroga karadarbības. Viņš ne tikai gādāja humāno palīdzību civiliedzīvotājiem, bet arī fotografēja. Viņa fotouzņēmumus kā arī ukraiņu mākslinieces Tatjanas Malinovskas videodarbus  no šī gada marta līdz pat 2.maijam varēja apskatīt arī izstādē "Lyuta vesna – Lost Spring" (Zaudētais pavasaris) Rīgā, galerijā „Cut Art”. Rīgā nupat bija skatāma tava fotogrāfiju izstāde no Ukrainas. Izstāsti šo stāstu, kāpēc tu izlēmi kā brīvprātīgais doties uz kara plosīto Ukrainu un strādāt tur? Kerijs Fukunaga: Es ieguvu grādu politikas zinātnē un politikas vēsturē esmu mācījies ārpus Amerikas Savienotajām Valstīm - Francijā, Grenobles Politikas institūtā. Mani vienmēr interesējusi vēsture, kā arī skats uz ārpusi, uz ārpasauli. Mani vienmēr vairāk interesējusi Amerikas ārpolitika nekā iekšpolitika. Turklāt savulaik ticēju, ka, taisot filmas, mēs varam mainīt un ietekmēt pasauli. Šobrīd gan tik strikti vairs nevaru teikt, redzot, kas notiek apkārt. Īpaši pēc Bonda filmas, es aizvien spēcīgāk izjūtu to, kas notiek pasaulē, to notikumu domino efektu. Jā, es taisu filmas un izklaides industrija ir ļoti būtiska. Bet es vairs sevī iekšēji nespēju ilgāk būt tikai pasīvs vērotājs. Es vēlējos darīt un palīdzēt. Un tā es sazvanīju Hosē Andrē, kurš ir radījis un vada vada "World Central Kitchen", un Ukrainā jau bija viņu palīdzības virtuves, un teicu, ka vēlos braukt uz Ukrainu pie viņiem. Viņš atbildēja, ka varu braukt, bet manu drošību garantēt gan nevarot. Es teicu, ka nebraucu filmēt, bet mans nodoms ir palīdzēt un strādāt tur tieši kara laikā. Sacīts - darīts, ierados.  Sākotnēji darbojos un palīdzēju ar koordinēšanu, tad jau darīju arī citus darbus. Divarpus mēnešu laikā pēc kara sākuma tās vietas, kur biju es, sāka stabilizēties. Sākām Kijivā, tad Irpiņa, Buča, tad devos uz Sumu apgabalu. Tad uz Harkivu, kamēr tur vēl notika aktīva karadarbība, un tur es uzturējos ilgāku laiku. Pēc tam tālāk devos uz Kramatorsku, kur bija ļoti nežēlīgas krievu ofensīvas. Briesmas draudēja visu laiku. Bet tur tajos ciematos un pilsētās bija palikuši ļoti daudz civiliedzīvotāju, un viņi nekādu ofensīvas laikā nevarēja tikt pie iztikai nepieciešamajām lietām. Tad es un citi brīvprātīgie devāmies pie šiem ļaudīm, lai redzētu, kas viņiem trūkst, ukraiņiem vienmēr būs bietes un kartupeļi. Bet bija vajadzīga maize un elementāra medicīniskā palīdzība. Mums tas bija jādara no mājas uz māju, lai pēc tam varētu ziņot uz štābu, ko, kur un kam vajag piegādāt. Tā bija unikāla pieredze, jau savā ziņā tā līdzinās problēmu risināšanai filmas laukumā, tikai šeit tev ir iespēja reāli ietekmēt cilvēku dzīves. Tu iepriekš minēji, ka tevi vairāk interesē Amerikas ārpolitika, nevis iekšpolitika. Es neko nesaprotu un nezinu par tavas valsts iekšpolitiku, bet man ir daži draugi ASV, un viņi saka, ka nav labi. Kas to vērtē šobrīd, atrazdamies šeit, Latvijā? Kerijs Fukunaga: Tas ir apkaunojoši. Šobrīd ir pats sliktākais laiks būt amerikānim. Mēs esam neglīti pasaules acīs. Es nezinu precīzus datus, bet pusei amerikāņu nav pases. Lielākā daļa runā tikai angļu valodā, nezinot vismaz vēl vienu svešvalodu. Ja tev pie ziemeļu robežas ir tikai Kanāda un dienvidos Meksika un apkārt okeāns, tad var nelikties ne zinis. Nav tā kā šeit, Eiropā, kur dažādas kultūras ir visapkārt un tev jāiekļaujas tajā mikslī. Tāpēc krievu propaganda svin uzvaru Amerikā šobrīd. Tas nu reiz ir skaidrs. Un tas notiek jau gadiem, to var redzēt komentāru sadaļā. Tāda sajūta, ka cilvēki darbojas pēc konkrēta scenārija, jo tieši tāda, kādu piedāvā propaganda. Ir bijuši pētījumi par šo un tie liecina par to, ka šeit nav iespējama nekāda saprātīga diskusija iepretīm sazvērestības teorijām un propagandai. It kā cilvēki pēkšņi būtu pamodušies jaunā patiesībā, no kuras nav atpakaļceļa.  Ko saka tev zināmie filmu ļaudis? Kerijs Fukunaga: Lielākā daļa no viņiem vienkārši nespēj noticēt tam, kas notiek acu priekšā. Lielākoties tā ir tāda apstulbuma sajūta šāda absurda priekšā. Protams, daudzi sev jautā - ko es varu darīt lietas labā? Kā redzam, ielu protesti šeit nedarbojas. Ko darīt? Es nezinu. Man nav atbildes. Vēsture rāda, ka šādi lieli pagriezieni parasti notiek ar lielu asins izliešanu. Arī mums šeit, tūkstošiem kilometru attālumā no ASV, bezmaz vai piespiedu kārtā ir jācenšas saprast Amerikas politiku. Ko un kāpēc Amerika dara? Kāpēc? Kerijs Fukunaga: Es šobrīd nevaru uzburt labāku nākotnes vīziju. Šobrīd nudien neizskatās labi. Tomēr vēsture rāda, ka Amerika var uzņemties vadību un nostāties vēstures pareizajā pusē. To pierāda kaut vai Rūzvelta politika īsi pirms Otrā pasaules kara, kad ASV izvēlējās izolacionisma politiku un nevienai no tobrīd apdraudētajām pusēm nepalīdzēja. Piemēram, viņš publiski neatsaucās uz Japānas iebrukumu Mandžūrijā, bet fonā jau sāka gatavoties karam. Es gan neliktu Rūzveltu un Trampu vienos svaru kausos. Nebūt. Vairāk par Krieviju šobrīd ASV militāri industriālais komplekss ir uztraucies par Ķīnu, un dažiem vēl šķiet, ka tā varētu būt Trampa ilgtermiņa spēle, lai nošķirtu Krieviju no Ķīnas un tie nekļūtu par vienotu spēku. Bet es neticu, ka Tramps ir tik gudrs, tā tāda muļķu parāde drīzāk. Kāda ir mākslinieku un kultūras cilvēku atbildība šajos laikos? Arī pie mums notiek diskusijas par to, ka strausa politiku, iebāžot galvu smiltīs un izliekoties, ka kara nav, neies krastā. Vai tev ir tāpat? Kerijs Fukunaga: Jā. Mēs jau Bondu filmējot, kas nu jau ir pirms sešiem gadiem, apspriedām Surkovu, Putina ideoloģijas autoru un polittehnologu. Tam cilvēkam ir pieredze gan televīzijā, gan rakstniecībā, un viņš prot pretnostatīt divas puses un radīt sajukumu, kurā tad var no aizkulisēm visu vērot un kontrolēt. Dezinformācija ir ļoti spēcīgs ierocis, mēs to centāmies arī iedzīvināt mūsu filmas ļaunajā tēlā. Bet tas, ko viņi Krievijā dara ar sabiedrību, ir nesalīdzināmi milzīgāks spektrs, tie ir kā nebeidzami, milzīgi viļņi, kam cilvēks vairs nav spējīgs stāties pretī un noslīkst tajos. Un es teiktu tā: ja mākslai ir iespēja pacelties virs tā visa un atmaskot to apburto loku, tam noteikti ir vērtība. Un noslēgumā - kas būs tas, ko tu sev paņēmis līdzi no Rīgā pavadītā laika? Kerijs Fukunaga: Tas saistās zināmā mērā ar to, ko redzu Ukrainā. Iemesls, kāpēc es pazīstu arī jūsu kino ļaudis, piemēram, Lauri un Raiti Ābeles, ir profesionālais latviešu skeitbordists Madars Apse. Mēs esam draugi. Reiz, redzot Madara un viņa draudzeni Viļņā, aizrunājāmies par to, kā ir satikušies mūsu vecvecāki. Viņš saka - gulagā, un ironiskā kārtā arī mani vecvecāki satikās gulagā, un tajā brīdī man ir iespēja nonākt nevis tādā akadēmiskā kārtā, bet satikt reālus cilvēkus, kuriem tā padomju okupācijas trauma atbalsojas paaudzēs un turpina ārdīties acu priekšā Ukrainā. Un es redzu, cik jūs šeit nopietni to uztverat, ka spējat novērtēt to, ka esat NATO, jo citādāk tās šausmas varētu atkārtoties arī šeit. Un jā, tas, ko es paņemu līdzi, ir absolūta cieņa pret jums par to, kā jūs paši esat nosargājuši savu brīvību un negrasāties to atkal pazaudēt.  

João Fukunaga é presidente da Previ, o fundo de pensão dos trabalhadores do Banco do Brasil, uma das principais referências de governança corporativa no país. A carteira de ativos do fundo é de espetaculares R$ 300 bilhões, o que lhe permite ter assento hoje no conselho de algumas das principais empresas do país. A Previ integra consórcios que disputam leilões de privatização Brasil afora. Sua presença nos certames costuma ser vista como atestado de seriedade do processo. Pode-se fazer uma outra síntese: a entidade nascida da organização sindical, que não é estranha a uma visão progressista de mundo, é um exemplo de eficiência capitalista com olhar social.

Last time we spoke about General Douglas MacArthur's operations against western New Guinea  Operation Desecrate One, and the death of Admiral Koga. MacArthur unleashed hell from the skies above against Hollandia and other key target in the Western parts of New Guinea. Accompanying this was Operation Desecrate One, a carrier raid against Palau followed by strikes on Yap and Woleai in the eastern Carolines, in order to prevent the Japanese from reinforcing Western New Guinea. Lastly the commander in chief of the IJN, Admiral Koga, like his predecessor, met his end at the hands of an aircraft crash. But the Japanese had not just lost their commander in chief, they also lost the Z Plan to the allies. The Z Plan documents were taken by Filipino guerillas and found their way to Nimitz who would put them to good use in the future battle of the Philippine sea.

The Japanese attack against Imphal was being directed by the ambitious and to be frank, quite insane General Mutaguchi Renya. Mutaguchi sought to seize Imphal by a combination of guile, dislocation and surprise. Mutaguchi needed to destroy the British-Indian army at Imphal while also cutting off their rear escape at Kohima. Operation U-Go, was not Go-ing very well, yet I made a pun. The Indian troops were digging their heels in, providing much more resistance than expected. Added to this the Chindits unleashed Operation Thursday, delivering a dangerous thrust into the Japanese flank. Now last we left off, the Japanese 33rd and 15th divisions were launching their first attacks against Imphal, while General Sato's 31st division advanced northwest upon Kohima. Sato's intentions were to cut off the British-Indian defenders  by taking Kohima and seizing the vast depots and stores of Dimapur. To defend Kohima and Dimapur, General Slim had given the task to Major-General Robert, whose HQ was at Dimapur. Robert had the Kohima Garrison at his disposal,  roughly 2500-strong men led by Colonel Hugh Richards since March 22nd,  built around the 1st Assam Regiment. The 1st Assam Regiment was led by Lt Colonel William Felix “Bruno” Brown, and they had orders to “fight to the last man” at the Jessami-Kharasom position. Now relief was going to be provided by Lt General Montagu Stopford whose 33rd corps, formed around the 5th and 7th indian divisions and British 2nd division arrived in early april. Stopford planned to concentrate his men at Jorhat, about 105km north-east of Dimapur, where they could be ready to launch a counterstroke against Dimapur. A single brigade would be dispatched as soon as it arrived to defend the Nichugard Pass, about 13km south-east of Kohima on the road to Dimapur. They would support the 161st Brigade already at Dimapur and the 23rd Long Range Penetration Brigade of Brigadier Lancelot Perowne was going to reinforce Kohima by April 12th. Lancelot's group would disrupt and cut the Japanese lines of communication back to the Chindwin. Meanwhile, General Yamauchi's 15th division and General Sato's 33rd division were on their way towards the Imphal-Kohima road. South of them was the Honda Raiding Unit, built around the 3rd Battalion of the 67th Infantry Regiment. Their job was to cut off the road at the Kangpokpi Mission in the Ukhrul area. Luckily for Honda and his men, they were able to dodge the catastrophic battle at Sangshak. His unit would reach the road by the 28th, blowing up a bridge near Kangpokpi. There were other units performing similar roles, such as Colonel Matsumura Hiroshi's 60th regiment who were given the task of cutting off the road at Satarmaina. After the Battle of Sangshak, the Hiroshi's Unit advanced through Lamu, Tongou, Shongphel, Nungga and Angam cutting the Imphal-Kohima Road at Satarmaina by April 3rd. There was also Colonel Omoto Kisaso's 51st regiment, who advanced against Hill 4950 by March 31st encountering little to no resistance. After this they advanced further and took Hill 4192 on April 1st.  Up in the north, the 3rd battalion, 138th regiment had advanced through Layshi without much opposition while the bulk of the division approached Jessami. On the 26th, Colonel Torikai Tsuneo's 138th regiment crashed into defensive positions held by the 1st Assam Regiment who held their enemy at bay for 5 days. General Slim watched over the developments at Sangshak and Jessami with great interest. Then a unit captured Japanese order from Sangshak confirmed his worst fears. “Within a week of the start of the Japanese offensive, it became clear that the situation in the Kohima area was likely to be even more dangerous than that at Imphal. Not only were the enemy columns closing in on Kohima at much greater speed than I had expected, but they were obviously in much greater strength.” Slim had expected a strike against Kohima by a Japanese regiment, but the entire 31st Division was on its way. “We were  not prepared for so heavy a thrust. Kohima with its rather scratch garrison and, what was worse, Dimapur with no garrison at all, were in deadly peril.” Luckily, the rapid arrival of the 161st Brigade at Dimapur and the dispatch of the 33rd Corps to reinforce Kohima could give him a fighting chance.  Both locations received attacks on the 26th, and over the next five days both units held their own. But they had lost communications with Kohima, and recall orders could not be issued. A American colonel flew a Piper Cub to airdrop orders, which Brown finally received on the 31st. Brown pulled back April 1st, but Lt Young never got the message. On his own ordered his men out. “I shall be the last man,” he declared, and with difficulty got his company moving toward Kohima. No one ever saw Young alive again, nor was his body identified. The 1st battalion, 58th regiment had also been dispatched from Ukhrul on the 24th and would cut the Imphal-Kohima road at Tuphema by March 30th.  After the disastrous battle at Sangshak, General Miyazaki ordered a battalion to head over to Pulomi, while the 3rd battalion, 58th regiment advanced to Kohima via Chakhabama and the rest of his unit advanced to Kohima using the road. Sato planned to launch a two-pronged assault against Kohima, with Colonel Fukunaga Ten's 58th regiment from the south while the 138th regiment swung around Naga village to cut off the Dimapur road. This saw a race to feed units into Dimapur before the Japanese arrived. The first units of Major General Grover 2nd division arrived in piecemeal to Dimapur between April 1st and 11th. They came by small-gauge steam train arriving at Dimapur in a panic. The undefended base area expecting attack at any moment and riven with rumors of the impending arrival of the Japanese. Stopfords men were still several days away by the end of March, prompting Slim to order Brigadier Dermot Warren's 161st brigade to rush over to Kohima. By April 3rd, Stopford established his HQ at Jorhat, where he made a disastrous blunder. Stopford at this point was still under the belief the Japanese main objective was Dimapur. He had some false intelligence indicating Japanese units were at any moment in the process of outflanking Kohima. With this knowledge he ordered 161st to evacuate Kohima immediately. For the units currently at Kohima, they could not believe the order. Warren, Colonel Hugh Richards and the civilian Deputy Commissioner, Charles Pawsey - were aghast at, and vehemently protested the decision. When told that the Japanese were outflanking Kohima to the north Pawsey scoffed, retorting that if true, 'my Nagas would have told me'. Major General Ranking, believing that Stopford was making a mistake, went over the head of his new superior officer and called Slim directly by telephone to petition him to leave Warren at Kohima. General Slim, perhaps unwilling to overrule Stopford, and in any case as convinced as Stopford that Dimapur was the Japanese objective, confirmed Stopford's original order. Warren's 161st Brigade, which had been in the process of organizing the desperately needed defense of the ridge, left Kohima virtually undefended only one day before Japanese attacks began. Had Warren's men been allowed to remain where they were the trauma of the siege that followed would have been much reduced and the stranglehold that Sato was able to maintain on the vital road to Imphal for two long months would have been significantly weaker than it turned out to be. Thus reluctantly, Warren pulled his men back towards Nichugard Pass, leaving only Colonel Richards with the original garrison. Meanwhile Sato's unit were rapidly advancing through the mountainous terrain of the Naga Hills. Japanese and INA reconnaissance patrols were able to help the unit forage for food on the go, adding to their speed. Perhaps they took some time to eat turtle eggs like Wingate advised. Sorry just had to bring up that weird one, been stuck on my mind. On the morning of April 4th, the 58th regiment began assaulting the southern edge of Kohima at GPT ridge while Miyazaki's other units were advancing through the hills and valleys leading into Kohima from the east. Colonel Hugh Richard alerted Stopford of the Japanese assault, who immediately realized his grave error. Stopford desperately sent Warren's men back over to Kohima. Yet only 446 men of the 4th Royal West Kents would manage to get to Kohima in time to help her garrison. They dug in on Kohima Ridge, which is really a series of hills running north-south along the road to Imphal. Gently sloping saddles connect each feature. Since development as a supply base a year earlier, some of its various hills had become known by their function. From south to north, they were GPT “General Purpose Transport” Ridge, Jail Hill, DIS “Detail Issue Store”, FSD “Field Supply Depot”, Kuki Picquet, and Garrison Hill. A northwest extension of Garrison Hill housed a hospital and became known as IGH “Indian General Hospital” Spur. Thick woods, interspersed with the town's and base's structures, covered most of these hills. Garrison Hill was terraced and landscaped, and included the home, complete with clubhouse and tennis court of the deputy commissioner for the area, Charles Pawsey. The Imphal-Dimapur Road skirted the ridge to the east before turning west past Garrison Hill. Treasury Hill and a Naga Village settlement overlooked the ridge from the northeast; those heights also extended north to the hamlet of Merema. Southward loomed the imposing Pulebadze Mountain, whereas three miles to the west rose a knoll topped by the village of Jotsoma. Kohima Ridge thus was overlooked by surrounding heights: Pulebadze to the south, Jotsoma to the west, and the Naga Village/Merema to the east and northeast. The same night they dug in on the ride, Sato had just launched attacks against Garrison Hill. The remainder of the brigade were not able to get in and would remain on Jotsoma ridge to the west, where Warren had emplaced his mountain guns to support the defenders. On April the 5th, the action kicked up with Fukunaga's 58th regiment attacking from the south while a vanguard overcame the Shere Regiment's sentries on the Naga Hill to the north, successfully securing a place for their artillery at Naga village. 4 mountain guns would support Miyazaki's attack, also allowing the Japanese to seize the GPT ridge. In a surprise raid, elements of the 3rd battalion, 58th regiment were able to grab the old town part of Kohima and Treasury Hill. As a result of this, Miyazaki wrongly assumed the enemy had simply withdrawn from Kohima, so he ordered his men to begin an advance upon Cheswema. This in turn gave the defenders some time to reinforce their lines. Japanese pressure on the perimeter increased on the morning of April 6, with repeated attacks by the 58th Regiment on Jail Hill. Heavy artillery and mortar fire quickly denuded trees of their foliage, snapping branches and scattering jagged splinters to accompany the whine and hiss of exploding shrapnel. By 11am the surviving defenders were forced off Jail Hill and down into the steep valley through which ran the road, and then up into the relative safety of the trees on DIS Hill, where Major Shaw's C Company were desperately digging in. The Japanese attack was relentless and, although they secured Jail Hill dominating the south-eastern edge of the Kohima Ridge, they suffered extensive casualties, including Captain Nagaya, the commander of 3rd battalion, 58th Regiment, who was killed. Major Donald Easten was also ordered to retake Jail Hill with D Company, 4th Royal West Kents, but by now the Japanese had already dug deeply into the hillside and could not be ejected without considerable expenditure of life. Easten took his company and dug them in around FSD Hill.  Since Jail Hill dominated the southern edge of the ridge defensive lines, the disappearing tree cover quickly became a problem for the defenders who were becoming more and more visible to the enemy. It got some bad, the defenders were soon forced to only move positions at night. A company of the 4/7th Rajputs were able to reinforce Kohima by the end of the night, yet overall now 2500 defenders were surrounded by over 15,000 Japanese. The lost of GPT and Jail Hill also meant the defenders had lost access to water, excluding a small spring on Garrison Hill. Richards was forced to limit the men to a single pint of water per day. On the night of the 6th, a company of the 2nd Battalion, 58th Regiment launched a frontal attack against DIS Hill screaming wildly. The fire from the awaiting Royal West Kents scythed into the attackers, as did bombs from Sergeant Victor King's mortars, landing within meters of the West Kent positions. Miyazaki kept sending more and more men, until some infiltrated the defenders positions ending in a confused hand to hand combat brawl. By dawn on the 7th, a counterattack from FSD Hill would be broken by the ferocious Japanese machine-gun and artillery fire. Sergeant-Major Haines led a spirited attack against these positions, dashing 37 meters  up the hill with a mixed group of West Kents and Gurkhas, bayonets fixed and lobbing grenades amongst the bashas. Those Japanese who ran were cut down by waiting Bren guns; those who stayed put were burned alive as the thin structures caught fire. The bakery, whose large brick ovens in peacetime produced several thousand loaves of bread each day, was more impervious to these tactics, but combat engineers destroyed the doors with the help of large quantities of gun cotton. Instead of merely blowing in the doors the ensuing explosion destroyed the entire building, only the brick ovens inside withstanding the blast. Escaping Japanese were brought down by rifle fire. Unusually, two Japanese soldiers were taken prisoner, and although one died later of his wounds, the other provided details about the strength and dispositions of the attacking forces. Captain Shiro Sato, Nagaya's successor in charge of 3rd, 58th Regiment, was killed. Over 60 Japanese were killed in this struggle alone, leading the men to mutter among themselves that this was a worse ordeal than Sangshak. One of the problems now encountered by the men of C and D Companies of the Royal West Kents was the fact that hundreds of bodies lay littered across the position, some of friends but mostly of Japanese, attracting clouds of slow-moving bluebottles that feasted on the carpet of corpses covering the ground. Attempts were made to remove bodies where it was possible, but snipers and the sheer number meant that it was not possible to dispose of them all. As the days went by the effects of artillery bombardment dispersed some of the remains, with the result that DIS Hill became an unpleasant place to defend at best, and injurious to health at worst. The West Kents attempted to burn the bodies at night, but this had a poor effect on morale as the appalling smell of burning flesh drifted across the position. Where they could, the Japanese cremated their dead.  Realizing his enemy was strongly entrenched, Miyazaki now decided to order his 3rd battalion to turn back. Meanwhile the bulk of Torikai's forces were just reaching the battlefront, so Miyazaki ordered his 1st battalion to reinforce their attack. Sato was under the belief they would be capturing the ridge at any moment, so he ordered Torikai to cut off the Kohima-Dimapur road, within the vicinity of Zubza. Sato also dispatched the reserved 124th regiment to Cheswema to get ready for an operation in the north. Torikai's 2nd battalion advanced into the Dzuzu valley, and their 6th company occupied Zubza, effectively cutting off Warren's base at Jotsoma. During that night the Japanese launched both real and 'jitter' attacks against the southern perimeter. During the next morning it was discovered, Japanese soldiers had infiltrated back onto DIS Hill during the confusion of the night, placing soldiers and a machine gun in a bunker on the top of the hill. Despite the Japanese machine guns posted on top of the hill, a hero would emerge to knock them out. A fearless 29-year-old Lance-Corporal John Harman demonstrated the type of behavior that was to lead within days to the award of a Victoria Cross, and his death. Realizing that the Japanese machine gun could cause untold damage if unchecked he crawled alone up the hill, standing up at the last minute to charge the Japanese-held bunker. Miraculously the enemy fire tore into the empty air above his head, and Harman reached the bunker door, coolly extracted the pin from a grenade, released the firing lever, counted to three, on a four-second fuse and lobbed it inside. The occupants were killed instantly and Harman returned triumphant with the captured machine gun down the hill to the cheers of his comrades. The Japanese would launch attacks through the day, gradually pushing the defenders up the hills towards Kohima. General Mutaguchi then personally ordered Sato to continue past Kohima and seize Dimapur. Now Sato and Mutaguchi did not get along well, but he reluctantly obeyed the command, sending his 3rd battalion, 138t regiment along the Merema track to Bokajan. Yet all of a sudden General Kawabe, countermanded the order and instead ordered Sato's battalion to rapidly be recalled. This was one of those famed “what if” moments. What if Sato had turned a Nelsonian blind eye to the counter order, or if he had delayed its official receipt for another 24 hours? Sato was apparently happy to obey Kawabe and withdraw to Kohima partly because his deep-seated animosity toward Mutaguchi led him to assume the army commander's demands were motivated solely by visions of military glory. Sato's hatred of Mutaguchi blinded him to the strategic possibilities offered by continuing his offensive through to Dimapur, and lost for the Japanese a crucial opportunity for victory in 1944. The failure to secure Dimapur while the British were in a state of confusion at the speed and scale of Mutaguchi's march on Delhi was indeed, as General Slim recognized, one of the great missed opportunities of the Burma war. It led directly to the failure of the Kohima thrust, and contributed to the collapse of the entire Operation. It was the consequence of Sato's lack of strategic imagination, framed by Kawabe's rejection of what he regarded as an attempt by Mutaguchi to secure for himself undying glory. What he and Sato for that matter  failed entirely to see was that Mutaguchi was right. The capture of Dimapur might have been the decisive strategic movement of the campaign leading to a dramatic worsting of the British reminiscent of Malaya and Burma in 1942. Despite the megalomania and terrible planning on Mutaguchi's part for even initiating Operation U-GO, to not try and make it work was even more criminal.  On the morning of the 9th, the Japanese once again managed to infiltrate the DIS Hill and again corporal Harman lept into action and mounted a solo attack to remove the threat. Covered by two Bren guns firing from his left and his right, Harman dashed up the hill. Frantically the Japanese returned fire but in their excitement fired wide. Harman reached the trench and, standing 4 meters to its front and firing his Lee Enfield from the hip, shot four Japanese dead, before jumping into the trench and bayoneting the fifth. He then stood up, triumphantly holding the captured enemy machine gun above his head, before throwing it to the ground. The cheers of his comrades reverberated around the hill. Harman then nonchalantly began to walk back down the slope. Unfortunately he had forgotten that with the denuded foliage he was in full view of the Japanese positions on Jail Hill. Unheeding of the shouted cries of his comrades to run, he leisurely made his way back down to his weapon pit, only to be struck by a burst of machine-gun fire in his back just as he reached safety. Donald Easten ran out into the Japanese fire, and dragged Harman into a trench. Within a few minutes, however, this extraordinarily brave man was dead.   On that day, Warren dispatched the 1/1st Punjabs to break through towards Kohima, but they ran into a number of log-covered bunkers at Piquet Hill, held by the 6th Company, 138th Regiment. The Japanese fired upon them causing 25 casualties by the day's end. Upon the ridge the killing continued. Large numbers of fiercely brave Japanese from the 58th Regiment were killed by the remorseless chatter of the British Bren guns, as during the night three successive assaults were made on C and D Companies of the Royal West Kents, the Japanese being denied success by the interlocking fire of eight Bren guns, whose red-hot barrels had to be changed repeatedly. Casualties on both sides were high, the Japanese attempting to gain access to the hill from the road by use of ladders, seemingly unperturbed by their losses. On the northern side of Garrison Hill the 138th Regiment again launched attacks against A Company. The attack was held, Bren guns, bayonets and grenades in the darkness bloodily halting Japanese ambitions. Victor King's mortars fired in support, the bombs landing with superb accuracy in front of Maj. Tom Kenyon's positions. It had seemed for a while that sheer weight of numbers would overwhelm the much-reduced A Company, but the reliable Brens, considerable reserves of grenades, the accuracy of King's mortars and the determined courage of the Royal West Kents denied the penetration so desperately desired by the Japanese.   Low on ammunition and suffering heavy casualties, the decision was made to abandon DIS and FSD Hill's on the night of the 10th. To make matters worse the monsoon rains had come early, and heavy, driving rain on 10th, together with the effects of battle and of sleep deprivation, had pushed men to the edge of exhaustion. Tea was rationed to half a mug per man. Fortunately, the rain somewhat made up for the acute lack of water within the perimeter, men lying back in their weapon pits and trenches to allow the rain to fall directly into parched, open mouths. It was found that a trickle of water was available from a pipe leading onto the road behind the ADS, behind the Japanese positions. Dangerous nightly journeys were made, through hundreds of wounded lying in the open, down the slope to the road, to fill hundreds of water bottles. The exhausted men made their way off the hills under Japanese sniper and mortar fire. On the 11th, A company over at Garrison Hill were still managing to hold strong against numerous assaults over the tennis court. During the night they were relieved by B company. Meanwhile Grover had finally assembled his 2nd division at Dimapur and dispatched the Cameron Highlanders and 2nd battalion, Durham light infantry with Lee-Grant tank support to open a road back up to Warren's HQ. The next day, while B company was repelling more assault, the 1st battalion, 58th regiment advanced upon Jotsoma from Pulomi, but could not penetrate through the defensive line. At the same time, the 3rd Battalion, 138th Regiment advanced to Khabvuma, though and was likewise unable to break through towards the Kohima-Dimapur Road. On the 13th, which would become known to the besieged British garrison as “black thirteenth”, B company continued to resist suicidal Japanese assaults across the tennis court, Japanese artillery managed to kill many men atop the IGH Spur. Casualties were mounting, the Royal West Kents had lost a total of 150 men by this point. 3 Dakotas had tried air supplying, but they accidentally dropped atop the Japanese position on Kohima Ridge. Over at FDS Hill, the situation was quite desperate as the Japanese were squeezing the British from the ridge and to prevent them from using the supplies raining from the sky. Captain Mitchell of the Rajputs was killed on the morning of 12th, and furious counterattacks against the Japanese who had infiltrated amongst C and D Companies of the Royal West Kents failed to remove the intruders; A Company, after their short rest on Kuki, now moved to support C and D Companies. That night the Japanese attempted to rush FSD Hill. The defenders were ordered to wait until they could see the whites of the Japanese eyes before opening fire. During a lull in the fighting Private Peacock from A Company dropped off, exhausted with fatigue. When he came round he discovered that he was sharing his trench with a Japanese officer who had assumed that Peacock was dead. Unable to find his rifle Peacock leapt at the officer and strangled him after a fierce struggle with his bare hands. Then, to make sure, he ran him through with the man's own sword By the 14th, the Assam Rifles relieved B company over at Garrison Hill, where Richards commemorated his remaining men for the bulwark defense. “By your efforts you have prevented the Japanese from attaining this objective. All attempts to overrun the garrison have been frustrated by your determination and devotion to duty…”. Meanwhile a patrol of the 4/7th Rajputs had advanced up the western valley. The patrol had the unfortunate result of raising some expectations of relief on the ridge. To the fighting men still desperately resisting every Japanese encroachment this made little difference to their lives. Instead, life and death continued their seemingly arbitrary, parallel journeys. The shattered hillside was now almost bare of foliage, the remaining trees standing forlornly, others leaning drunkenly where shells had smashed the trunk or branches. The ground was a churned morass of mud, which the defenders shared with rotting corpses, excrement and the inevitable detritus of war: scattered equipment, discarded helmets, broken weapons and unexploded shells. Yet the troops all knew that they had achieved a remarkable feat of endurance, and resistance. On the 15th the 1/1st Punjabs had finally broken through Piquet Hill and reopened the road to the garrisons perimeter. By the 16th, the 5th Brigade linked up with Warren's troops for the first time.The Japanese did not let up at all. On the 17th, they finally seized FSD Hill and stormed Kuki Piquet, overcoming some depleted defenders with their sheer weight of numbers. It seemed the exhausted Kohima Garrison were doomed, now crammed into a small area. Then B Company, 1/1st Punjab with Lee-Grant tanks arrived on the 18th, just in time to give the boys a fighting chance. Under heavy Japanese sniper and artillery fire, Warren and Grover's men advanced towards the besieged ridge positions. The 1st battalion, Royal Berkshire regiment made it to Kohima on the 20th to relieve Richards spent garrison.  On 19 April, the day before the first of the relieving troops made their way onto the position, Hurribombers strafed the Japanese positions, Dakotas dropped ammunition, water and food accurately on the ridge and the 25-pdrs of the 2nd Division pounded away relentlessly, firing from Zubza. The relief took place in the nick of time. The men of the 1st Battalion, Royal Berkshire Regiment, could not believe their eyes or noses as they climbed up onto Summerhouse Hill on the morning of April 20. Warned by anxious defenders to keep their heads down, many gagged at the repulsive smell of death and excrement that hung like a repressive fog over the position, weighing the hill down with the stench of horror. As Japanese bullets and shells continued to fall the weary veterans of the siege made their way down the gulleys adjacent to the IGH spur, strewn with Japanese corpses, to waiting trucks, guarded by the Lee/Grants. The fresh relief troops on the road were astonished by what they saw when the red-eyed, unshaven survivors made their way quietly out of the trees, but were in no doubt that they were witnessing the end of the first phase of one of the grimmest struggles of the entire war.  The Indian troops called out 'Shabash, Royal West Kents!' in warm acknowledgement of what all the defenders of the Kohima Ridge had achieved, congratulating the tired, bearded scarecrows even as shells fell among the convoy, injuring some of the wounded again and killing some, even as they were being lifted into the trucks. As the trucks crawled down the pitted road towards Jotsoma, and then Zubza, before making their slow way down through the green mountains into hot, steamy Dimapur, the exhausted survivors had long collapsed into deep, delicious sleep. Their ordeal was over. After 16 days of brutal siege, 278 men had been killed or wounded in a small stand, but one that would prove decisive for the CBI theater. Yet that is all for today on the Burma front as we now need to hope over to the Admiralties. The campaign for the Admiralty islands was coming to an end, now General Swift's division just had to mop up the islands of Los Negros and Manus. Over on Los Negros, the 5th Cavalry at Papitalai had been pushing west towards the Papitalai Mission since March the 14th. They were still encountering heavy resistance, requiring support from heavy artillery and aerial bombardment.  At 7:30am on the 15th, Troop A advanced after artillery and mortar concentrations, towards their third objective without any resistance. Troop A dug in there and Troop B sent out patrols 200 yards to the front. Yet still no opposition was encountered. Difficulties of supplying the troops over an extended supply line which consisted of 1 and a half miles of narrow, rutted, and slippery trail prevented further advance. Troop C, aided by a section furnished by the 82d Field Artillery Battalion, took 5 hours for a round trip. The 1st Squadron's last objective was the largest knob, Hill 260, on which it was now estimated were 100 well-entrenched Japanese. By the 17th, sufficient supplies had been brought up to enable Troop C, which had relieved Troop A, to push on toward this knob. After the usual artillery and mortar preparation, Troop C, protected in the rear by Troop B which was dug in on the third objective, advanced to within 50 yards of the hill crest before being stopped by machine-gun and rifle fire. Squadron commander Lt. Col. Charles E. Brady then dispatched Troop B north to envelop the enemy from his left flank. Although Troop B had to cut its way laboriously and noisily through the jungle, the envelopment was highly successful. The Japanese put up little resistance and both troops moved onto the hill and secured it by 1:10pm. About 40 or 50 dead Japanese were counted, although the total, which was impossible to determine in the jungle, was undoubtedly much higher. The 1st Squadron's losses in the day's attack were four killed and seven wounded.  Meanwhile, patrols from the 12th cavalry had been going around inland in the region southwest of Papitalai Mission and Lombrum. They found more resistance than anticipated. After failing to connect the perimeters, Troops A and B were landed at Chaporowan Point on the 16th where more patrols advanced along the coast, also finding some resistance. Over on the Rossum Road, Troop F of the 7th cavalry were seeing their fare share of resistance at a position 800 yards down the road. Though the cavalrymen were able to push through to the northern edge of Old Rossum, the Japanese fought so hard, Troop F was forced to withdraw. Because of this action, the position was bombed on the 21st before a full assault was launched by the 1st Squadron, 7th cavalry. This time the cavalrymen were able to secure the northern edge of Old Rossum with the support of artillery and tanks. On the 23rd, the squadron pressed their attack, gradually edging through Old Rossum. To gain 1000 yards here the Americans suffered 68 casualties, then on the 24th they yet again had to withdraw undering increasingly heavy Japanese fire. Finally on the 25th, the 1st Squadron, 8th cavalry relieved the battered men. After a heavy artillery and aerial bombardment, the Japanese defenders were finally broken. That day saw the 8th cavalry suffered 7 dead, 29 wounded, for the Japanese it was close to 100. Overall the 2nd Brigade had suffered 36 deaths, 128 wounded in the week of fighting over the Rossum area, they estimated they had killed 200 Japanese. The 2nd Brigade would patrol inland for the next two months, penetrating deep jungles, swamps and high mountains. In the end they would count a total of 586 dead Japanese on Manus. Meanwhile General Chase ordered a brigade to complete the occupation of Los Negros on March 21st. The 1st Squadron, 5th cavalry and 2nd Squadron, 12th cavalry attacked southwest towards some highground, due west of Hill 260. Troop C of the 12th cavalry advanced towards Juarez Village, supported by Troop B who performed an encircling maneuver against the retreating enemy. The 2nd Squadron, 5th cavalry would manage to clear the southern portion of Los Negros with an assault against Palapi Hill. All of Chase's units were successful in their assaults, though they faced tough resistance. For the following days, the Japanese would fight back against the invaders and by the 25th, over 500 of them paid the price with their lives. Since February 19th, 1917 Japanese had died on Los Negros, while the 1st Brigade had suffered 143 killed and 408 wounded. There were also mop up operations against the outlying islands with the 1st Squadron, 7th cavalry landing on Pityilu island on the 30th; the 1st Squadron, 12th cavalry assaulted Koruniat and Ndrilo islands on the 1st of april and the 2nd Squadron, 12th cavalry attacked Rambutyo on the 3rd. The 7th cavalry faced heavy resistance from a 60 man garrison on Pityilu, the 12th cavalry found no Japanese on Koruniat and Ndrilo and only a handful of Japanese were found on Rambutyo. On the 9th of april, the 1st Squadron, 12th cavalry landed on Pak island and with that the liberation of the Admiralty islands was complete. In total, General Krueger reported 326 killed, 1189 wounded and 4 missing while also counting a total of 3280 Japanese killed and 75 captured.  General Krueger would go on to partially explain the heavy enemy losses in the Admiralties operation were due to, "Our troops were gaining superiority on the ground against an enemy whose tactical knowledge envisioned only the offensive." Allied tactics of guaranteeing naval, air, and artillery superiority to the troops in each operation were making the heavy proportion of Japanese casualties an expected result in the Pacific. In the Admiralties invasion, fire from destroyers kept the enemy under cover during the landing and the artillery gave the troopers an enormous advantage against an enemy who possessed only two 75-mm mountain guns and one 70-mm howitzer. Bad weather had greatly restricted air operations during the first week after the invasion, and the weather probably accounted in part for the weakness of enemy air defense throughout the campaign; but the constant pounding of Japanese air bases within range of the Admiralties was a more important factor. General MacArthur's decision to send a limited number of men and ships to take an enemy stronghold far in advance of Allied-held territory, and within striking distance of enemy planes, had proved worth the risks involved. At a small cost, the neutralization of Rabaul and Kavieng was completed; and from the new base in the Admiralties, Allied air and naval forces could now launch surprise attacks on the Dutch New Guinea coast and could threaten essential enemy sea lanes within a 1500-mile radius including the Marianas, the east coast of Mindanao, and the southern limits of the Celebes Sea.  I would like to take this time to remind you all that this podcast is only made possible through the efforts of Kings and Generals over at Youtube.

Fate had rolled her dice yet again, and the Japanese had lost another decisive moment whereupon they could have perhaps changed the entire war in the India-Burma front. Likewise General Douglas MacArthur gambled by attacking the Admiralty Islands, but it would pay off heavily. It seems the allies were winning with every hand dealt to them.

Frauen nehmen die Schuld auf sich. Frauen dürfen nicht selbst entscheiden. Frauen müssen Opfer bringen – auch die größten. Takeshi Fukunaga stellt eine Frau in den Mittelpunkt seiner düsteren Geschichte. Ausfallende Ernten bringen die Dorfgemeinschaft an den Rand des Untergangs. Da Tochter Rin den Reisdiebstahl ihres Vaters auf sich nimmt, verlässt sie die Menschen und versteckt sich im Wald des nahegelegenen Berges. Während sie dort eine unerwartete Begegnung hat, entscheidet die Dorfgemeinschaft, dass ein Menschenopfer gebracht werden – natürlich eine Jungfrau …Fukunaga ließ sich von regionalen Legenden zu seinem Film inspirieren. Sozialrealismus in dunkelschönen Einstellungen, keine Verklärung der Vergangenheit aber eine grimmige Poesie der Bilder. Im Podcast direkt nach der Vorstellung im Eldorado in Frankfurt reden wir über die starken Darstellerinnen Anna Yamada und Toko Miura, über wilde Männer und wie erschreckend schnell ein Vater seine Tochter für ein Stück Land verkauft. Mm Mikrofon: Helena und Samuel von Sneaky Monday, Daniel vom Altstadtkino und Thomas.

O conselho da Vale aprovou, nesta quinta-feira (9), uma lista de 12 nomes indicados para compor o conselho de administração da empresa. Entre os indicados pelo governo federal à cúpula da mineradora está João Luiz Fukunaga, que até o início do ano acumulava mais de 11 anos na carreira sindical. Fukunaga era secretário de Organização e Suporte Administrativo no Sindicato dos Bancários de São Paulo. O sindicalista foi escolhido também, no final do mês de fevereiro, como presidente da Caixa de Previdência dos Funcionários do Banco do Brasil (Previ), o maior fundo de pensão da América Latina. Bancário no Banco Brasil desde 2011 e com um mestrado em história mexicana voltado para literatura asteca, Fukunaga agora vai gerir mais de R$ 250 bilhões em ativos de 200 mil associados do banco. Na Previ, o historiador receberá pelo menos R$ 64 mil mensais, mas ainda pode garantir outros R$ 98 mil (que é o vencimento médio dos conselheiros da mineradora), caso seu nome seja aprovado pelos acionistas da companhia na próxima assembleia. Isso praticamente sem custos extras — já que a empresa custeia a viagem e a hospedagem dos conselheiros para a participação nas reuniões mensais. A posição de Fukunaga à frente da Previ é objeto de contestações. O deputado estadual por São Paulo Leonardo Siqueira (Novo) ingressou com uma ação civil pública para impedir a posse do sindicalista no fundo de pensão.

It is often called the "foot reading cult", because its founder, Hogen Fukunaga, claimed he could make a diagnosis by examining people's feet. He founded the group in 1987 after an alleged spiritual event where he claimed to have realized he was the reincarnation of Jesus Christ and the Buddha. The group at one time claimed 30,000 members. However, Fukunaga charged $900 for the foot readings and a suspicion arose that he used the money to benefit himself. He was accused of swindling money from housewives and had to pay over a million dollars in damages.[2] The Good: Foot Readings Celebrities' The Bad: Rigorous Induction Ceremony Lying Bullying Lots of money coerced The Culty (is there anything in this cult worth incorporating into our own?): The Final Survivor ( Cult leader Death Match) Scrolls that have messages that can absolve sin Trinkets that prevents family curses Sources: Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ho_No_Hana BBC News: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/3029183.stm The Japan Times: https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2005/07/16/national/honohana-foot-cult-guru-gets-12-years-for-fraud/ The Nice Cult: https://thenicecult.com --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/thenicecult/support

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2022.08.26.502106v1?rss=1 Authors: Reuschenbach, J., Reinert, J. K., Fukunaga, I. Abstract: Knowing what factors affect the acquisition of a behavioural task is central to understanding the mechanisms of learning and memory. It also has practical implications, as animal behavioural experiments used to probe cognitive functions often require lengthy training. Delayed Match (or Non-Match)-to-Sample (DMS/DNMS) tasks are relatively complex tasks used to study working memory and sensory perception, but their use in the mouse remains hampered by the lengthy training involved. In this study, we assessed two aspects of stimulus timing on the acquisition of an olfactory DNMS task: how the sample-test odour delay durations and the reward timing affect the acquisition rate. We demonstrate that head-fixed mice learn to perform an olfactory DNMS task more quickly when the initial training uses a shorter sample-test odour delay without detectable loss of generalisability. Unexpectedly, we observed a slower task acquisition when the odour-reward interval was shorter. This effect was accompanied by a shortening of reaction times and more frequent sporadic licking. Analysis of this result using a drift-diffusion model indicated that a primary consequence of early reward delivery is a lower decision bound. Since an accurate performance with a lower decision bound requires greater discriminability in the sensory representations, this may underlie the slower learning rate with early reward arrival. Together, our results reflect the possible effects of stimulus timing on stimulus encoding and its consequence on the acquisition of a complex task. Copy rights belong to original authors.

Hello, dear listeners! As part of the effort to keep No Time to Die in the public conscience and possibly enjoy Oscar glory, a trio of interviews were recently set up between the film's talent and acclaimed directors. They were released online in February of 2022. South Korean Bong joon-ho (Snowpiercer, Parasite) sat down with Daniel Craig, Cary Fukunaga, Barbara Broccoli, and Linu Sandgren. French Canadian Denis Villeneuve (Sicario, Dune) enjoyed some Zoom time one-on-one with NTTD's director. Finally, Mexican Guillermo Del Toro (Hellboy, The Shape of Water) discussed the latest Bond adventure with Fukunaga, Broccoli and Rami Malek. Edgar and Jason, who admire the 3 internationally celebrated filmmakers, sit down to discuss the careers of these guest interviewers, their perspectives on the the 25th Bond film, and share some more thoughts on the movie itself, because we're clearly not tired of talking about it. So sit back, relax, put your film snob cap on and enjoy the latest episode of The James Bond Complex. We don't "chat about movies." We "discuss cinéma!"

Acclaimed cinematographer Linus Sandgren just happens to have two Oscar nominated films out right now- the new James Bond movie, No Time to Die and the Adam McKay satire, Don't Look Up. Both films are extremely different from each other, and Linus was excited to work on both. Linus says that working on a Bond film is about creating a heightened reality, escapist adventure that romanticizes action and espionage. Don't Look Up is also about creating a type of heightened reality, but in an absurd, satirical way that tells the truth. Linus was very excited to shoot No Time to Die with director Cary Joji Fukunaga. Linus always tries to find a story and script that he hasn't done before, and it was a new challenge for him to take on a film with so much action. They focused on making it their own Bond, rather than looking at previous James Bond films. No Time to Die even begins differently from past Bond films- instead of an action set piece, Linus and Fukunaga chose to create a horror movie feeling in the opening. For the opening sequences of No Time to Die, Linus set the creepy tone, choosing monochromatic grays and icy blue skies, and a very isolated location. By contrast, the very next action sequence featuring Bond is full of harsh bright sun washed in yellows and browns. For every film Linus shoots, he likes to have keywords for the emotions in the script to guide him in prep for different scenes, such as horror, grief, loss, humor, etc. and decides how to address those emotions visually. Linus and Fukunaga also discussed the expectations of a Bond film: an entertaining action-packed joyride, but still have No Time To Die act as a final chapter wrapping up Daniel Craig's arc as James Bond. Don't Look Up is a disaster-movie satire film directed by Adam McKay. Linus felt the script was terrific and horrific at the same time, and it was clear to him that McKay wanted to comment on how people's personal and political agendas cause them to ignore glaring problems, such as climate change, and hijack the actual solution that could save lives. Linus felt like it was an important and hilarious film to shoot. He decided that the visuals should feel like a political thriller, because the comedy and satire would come through in the writing. Linus would dolly in to create tension, use longer zooms to compress the shots, then go close up with a macro lens in order to get right on a character's eyes. The shoot required a lot of extras, which was made even more challenging with COVID protocols. Linus had to be creative to figure out how to shoot with fewer extras, using longer lenses so the physical distancing wouldn't be as apparent, and they often re-used the same actors in different scenes since they were in a quarantine bubble together.

The horrifying and heartbreaking tales of war and destruction in certain African nations have often prompted empathy and concern. So it's hardly surprising that the premise has been adopted in films, television shows, and even in video games over the years. Films such as The Last King of Scotland, Hotel Rwanda, and Blood Diamond have captured the tragedies as sombre reminders of those who've endured the ravages of war and political strife across the world. However, few films have focused on the plight of ‘child soldiers' who are often employed in conflicts in some war-ravaged countries in Africa. And Beasts of No Nation is one such film. The film is narrated from the perspective of a child soldier from an unnamed African nation. His tragic journey from his village to joining a rebel militia group is captured with great attention to detail by director Cary Joji Fukunaga. Fukunaga is credited with directing the critically-acclaimed first season of True Detective and the latest James Bond film No Time To Die. Beasts of No Nation won several awards and was well received in various film festivals for its compelling narrative, visuals, screenplay, and performances. The film stars Abraham Attah as the young child soldier Agu, while British star Idris Elba plays the sadistic Commandant in the film. The film highlights the various atrocities and injustice thousands of children face in Africa on a daily basis, and how they are forced to join armed militia groups. The film also triggers a discussion about trauma, mental health, and how the rest of the world has turned a blind eye to these atrocities. There are certain themes from the movie which are similar to the ones in legendary video-game developer Hideo Kojima's, critically-acclaimed Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain.So that's our Lost and Found film for today and we hope you're excited to check it out. Beasts of No Nation is available to stream on Netflix. I shall be back again with another episode until then it's your host Nikhil signing off.

Manusförfattaren och regissören Cary Joji Fukunaga gästade Stockholms filmfestival under hösten för att berätta om vägen från att vara assistent på Destiny's Childs musikvideor till att bli den förste amerikanen att regissera en Bond-film. I det här avsnittet av podden, som är en inspelningen av en masterclass från Filmhuset i Stockholm, berättar Fukunaga för Jakob Åsell om den stressiga inspelningen av »No Time to Die«, om vägen till Hollywood och om att detaljregissera Matthew McConaugheys rökning under första säsongen av »True Detective«. Writer and director Cary Joji Fukunaga visited the Stockholm International Film Festival earlier this fall to talk about his path from being an assistant on Destiny's Child's music videos to becoming the first American director to helm a James Bond film. In this episode of the podcast, which is a recording of a masterclass from Filmhuset in Stockholm, Fukunaga tells Jakob Åsell about the stressful production of »No Time to Die«, about his career path in Hollywood and about directing Matthew McConaughey's smoking during the first season of »True Detective«.

Fukunaga and Sangren break down their realistic, but painterly approach to Daniel Craig's final installment as James Bond, with incredible insights to film's use of color, camera movement, and emotional storytelling. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

On tonight's episode of the Talkin' TV podcast, we return, LIVE, for a true cinematic event. People, that's right, we're discussing the return of James Bond, 007 himself, in Daniel Craig's swan song "No Time to Die." The 25th in the James Bond series produced by Eon Productions. It stars Daniel Craig in his fifth and final outing as the fictional British MI6 agent James Bond. It is directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga from a screenplay by Neal Purvis, Robert Wade, Fukunaga and Phoebe Waller-Bridge. Léa Seydoux, Ben Whishaw, Naomie Harris, Jeffrey Wright, Christoph Waltz, Rory Kinnear and Ralph Fiennes reprise their roles from previous films, with Rami Malek, Lashana Lynch, Billy Magnussen, Ana de Armas, David Dencik and Dali Benssalah also starring. In this film, Bond, who has left active service with MI6, is recruited by the CIA to rescue a kidnapped scientist, which leads to a showdown with a powerful adversary. Development began in 2016. It is the first Bond film distributed by Universal Pictures, which acquired the international distribution rights following the expiration of Sony Pictures' contract after the release of Spectre in 2015. Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer subsidiary United Artists Releasing holds the rights for North America, as well as worldwide digital and television rights; Universal also holds the worldwide rights for physical home media. Danny Boyle was originally attached to direct and co-write the screenplay with John Hodge. Both left due to creative differences in August 2018, and Fukunaga was announced as Boyle's replacement a month later. Most of the cast had signed on by April 2019. Principal photography was from April to October 2019 under the working title Bond 25. The final title was announced in August 2019. Dom & Chris discuss the history of the franchise, what they each thought of it, whether Chris thinks it's a stand out in the action pantheon, and how it stands out amongst the meriad of mediocrity we've dealt with so far in 2021.

It's finally here - "No Time to Die" - the final Daniel Craig-era Bond movies. John Wayne, Petey, and Stew walk through the whole movie, and get deep into spoilers. So, check out the movie, then come break down the plot points with the team. Also, they make some bold predictions for where the 007 series goes from here.

Continua il periodo delle grandi uscite in sala. Parliamo quindi del chiacchieratissimo Titane di Julia Ducournau, vincitore della Palma D'oro al Festival di Cannes 2021, e di come è stato probabilmente ingigantito da certa critica "ideologica"; anche l'ultimo capitolo della saga di 007 con protagonista Daniel Craig non è riuscito a convincerci in toto, nel suo voler decostruire (male) un intero immaginario. E infine parliamo di un nuovo capitolo della serie antologica di Found Footage, VHS94, uscito su Shudder, in un ideale crossover con la rubrica più longeva del Salotto.

For our main podcast review this weekend, Josh Parham, Daniel Howat, and Michael Schwartz join me to discuss the final James Bond film starring Daniel Craig, "No Time To Die," directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga and also starring Rami Malek, Léa Seydoux, Lashana Lynch, Ben Whishaw, Naomie Harris, Jeffrey Wright, Christoph Waltz & Ralph Fiennes. Having to serve as a finale for Craig while tying up loose ends from the other films during his tenure as 007, Fukunaga's entry is the biggest film the franchise has ever seen, clocking in at nearly three hours long. After numerous delays, was the wait worth it? How does it work as an ending? What did we think of the action set pieces, Malek's Bond villain, and more?

Achtung SPOILER! Die Erwartungen an James-Bond-Filme sind mittlerweile absolut unerfüllbar. Ein moderner Held soll er sein, aber lässig wie in den 1960ern. Glaubwürdig sollen seine neuen Abenteuer sein, aber die Actionsequenzen sollen so „typisch Bond“ die Grenzen der Physik augenzwinkernd verschieben. Mit jeder hübschen Frau sofort ins Bett oder doch mittlerweile monogam? Craigs Bond trauert immer noch um Vesper Lynd und für ihn ist ein Nein ein Nein, Gottseidank. Die Welt, aus der die Figur James Bond und ihr ursprünglicher Wertekanon stammen, ist längst Geschichte. Das Fossil Bond hat es aber bis in die Gegenwart geschafft und ist dazu verdammt, sich neuen Wirklichkeiten anzupassen. Während also die einen feiern, dass Bond sich verändert, haben andere Angst, dass Bond einen veganen Martini bestellen könnte. Der 25. Film der Reihe und die Abschiedsvorstellung von Daniel Craig ist geprägt von einer Liebesgeschichte. Seine Lebensgefährtin Madeleine musste nicht wie Vesper und die anderen Bond-Geliebten zuvor sterben. Bond könnte ein Leben jenseits der Agentenwelt haben, sogar eine Familie. Das gab es bei Bond so noch nie. Fukunaga inszeniert um diesen romantischen roten Faden herum einen Action-haltigen, episodischen Thriller mit den klassischen Bond-Zutaten: Beeindruckende Schauplätze, schöne Frauen, Kämpfe, das Ensemble der Freunde (M, Q, Moneypenny, Felix Leiter) und das Ensemble der Feinde (der verrückte Wissenschaftler, der Erzbösewicht, der die Welt vernichten will, der Bodyguard des Bösewichts). Bei Fukunaga ist aber alles etwas subtiler: die Action ist beeindruckend aber real, die Anspielungen sind subtil, der Humor trocken. Besonders die Episode auf Kuba ist wirklich großes Kino. James Bond überwindet in diesem Film seine eigene Heldenrolle: Als 007 wurde er von Agentin Nomi (sehr stark: Lashana Lynch) bereits vollwertig ersetzt, nicht einmal der MI6-Pförtner erkennt ihn oder seinen Namen. Aber er hat etwas gefunden, für das es sich zu leben lohnt und für das es sich zu sterben lohnt – und es ist mehr als Königin und Vaterland. Zu James Bond gehörte immer, dass er am Ende überlebte und mit ihm das Gute siegte, inklusive klassische Schlusseinstellung mit Bondgirl im Arm und kühlem Martini in der Hand. Alles vorbei: Aus dem zynischen, beziehungsunfähigen Killer im Smoking wird nach einem halben Jahrhundert ein Held, der sich für Menschen opfert, die er liebt. Nicht nur für Daniel Craig ein besonderer und ein großer Abgang – hier hätte man auch die Filmreihe beenden können: JAMES BOND WILL NOT RETURN … Aber es wird weiter gehen mit James Bond, allein schon weil es ein großartiges Geschäft ist. Mit dem/der nächsten James Bond-Darsteller:in wird sich das Fossil auf jeden Fall weiter entwickeln. Im Podcast direkt nach dem Film prallen die Meinungen wie Kurzstreckenraketen aufeinander: Während die hoffnungslosen Romantiker Tom und Thomas den Film lieben und Harald zufrieden ist, sprechen Heidi und Peter aus unterschiedlichen Gründen vernichtende Urteile über diesen Bond. Am Mikrofon direkt nach dem Kino – meinungsstark und diesmal unversöhnlich: Heidi, Harald, Peter, Tom und Thomas.

Japanese filmmaker Takeshi Fukunaga recently released his second full-length film "Ainu Mosir" on Netflix and in Japanese theaters. It's a soft-spoken coming-of-age story of a 14-year-old boy who belongs to the group of indigenous people in northern Japan called "Ainu."

Takeshi Fukunaga's latest movie, AINU MOSIR, is a beautiful coming-of-age story featuring Kanto, a young boy who lives in the Ainu village of Akan and struggles with his cultural identity. I spoke with the director about his influences, inspiration, ideas of cultural identity. and more. AINU MOSIR is available on Netflix in English-speaking territories on November 17th and available in select theaters in Japan on October 17th.

Ainu Mosir is a documentary that is currently being featured virtually in several film festivals around the country including the 2020 Hawaii International Film Festival. The film has also been picked up by Array Releasing for distribution and will premiere on Netflix on Tuesday, November 17th. Director Takeshi Fukunaga generously took some time to talk about the movie and to explain why telling a story about the Ainu people is so important as their culture and language has been slowly fading away.

H., Jang, J., Oh, S.-H., Nam, Y., Jung, S., Kim, S., Fukunaga, M., Kim, W., Choi, H. J., Lee, J. Abstract: Obtaining a histological fingerprint from the in-vivo brain has been a long-standing target of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In particular, non-invasive imaging of iron and myelin, which are involved in normal brain functions and are histopathological hallmarks in a few neurodegenerative diseases, has practical utilities in neuroscience and medicine. Here, we propose a biophysical model that describes the individual contribution of iron and myelin to MRI signals via their difference in magnetic susceptibility (i.e., paramagnetic iron vs. diamagnetic myelin). Using this model, we develop a method, {chi}-separation, that generates the voxel-wise distributions of iron and myelin. The method is validated using computer simulation and phantom experiments, and applied to ex-vivo and in-vivo brains. The results delineate the well-known histological features of iron and myelin in the specimen (e.g., co-localization of iron and myelin in Gennari line), healthy volunteers (e.g., myelin-lacking and iron-rich pulvinar), and multiple sclerosis patients (e.g., demyelinated iron-rim lesion). This new in-vivo histology technology, taking less than 20 min, may serve as a practical tool for exploring the microstructural information of the brain. Copy rights belong to original authors.

Abstract: Advances in experimental technologies such as DNA sequencing have opened up new avenues for the applications of phylogenetic methods to various fields beyond their traditional application in evolutionary investigations, extending to the fields of development, differentiation, cancer genomics, and immunogenomics. Thus, the importance of phylogenetic methods is increasingly being recognized, and the development of a novel phylogenetic approach can contribute to several areas of research. Recently, the use of hyperbolic geometry has attracted attention in artificial intelligence research. Hyperbolic space can better represent a hierarchical structure compared to Euclidean space, and can therefore be useful for describing and analyzing a phylogenetic tree. In this study, we developed a novel metric that considers the characteristics of a phylogenetic tree for representation in hyperbolic space. We compared the performance of the proposed hyperbolic embeddings, general hyperbolic embeddings, and Euclidean embeddings, and confirmed that our method could be used to more precisely reconstruct evolutionary distance. We also demonstrate that our approach is useful for predicting the nearest-neighbor node in a partial phylogenetic tree with missing nodes. This study highlights the utility of adopting a geometric approach for further advancing the applications of phylogenetic methods.

LA VACUNA TENDRÁ QUE ESPERAR. La firma estadounidense Moderna anunció este que las pruebas clínicas de su vacuna experimental contra el covid-19, una de las más avanzadas, no darán resultados antes del 25 de noviembre, excluyendo cualquier comercialización antes de las elecciones presidenciales en Estados Unidos. Según sostienen, más allá de una autorización especial, no esperaban tener la aprobación total para distribuir el medicamento a todos los sectores de la población de Estados Unidos hasta la próxima primavera boreal (entre marzo y junio de 2021). La Agencia Europea de Medicamentos (EMA, según sus siglas en inglés) realizará una revisión acelerada del prototipo de la vacuna de la Universidad de Oxford y la farmacéutica Aztra Zeneca en los próximos días según anunciaron en un comunicado. La revisión del ente regulador sería una señal de que si todo sale acorde a lo esperado, el continente europeo tendría la primera vacuna aprobada contra el coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. Se revisarán todos los datos disponibles sobre la seguridad de la vacuna que surjan de estos estudios, así como los datos sobre su calidad. EMA INCENDIOS EN AMÉRICA DEL SUR. Desesperante situación de incendios en Paraguay. Solo en las últimas 48 horas, la Dirección de Meteorología registra 5231 focos de calor.  El Ministro del Interior, Euclides Acevedo, confirmó que, al estar el gobierno desbordado por los incendios, se ven obligados a pedir ayuda internacional. Dijo que podrían volar aviones hidrantes de Chile y analizan pedir ayuda a Brasil también. La NASA publicó un mapa en tiempo real sobre los incendios en todo el mundo. Los puntos rojos de ese mapamundi se destacan en la parte sur de África y en Sudamérica: el Pantanal y Argentina son el gran foco. Es más, afirman que en Argentina, Córdoba padece el incendio más grande del año. El Pantanal, el mayor humedal del planeta, situado en el corazón de Sudamérica, sufre los peores incendios de las últimas décadas, una tragedia ambiental en la que convergen varios factores, pero que el presidente de Brasil, Jair Bolsonaro, intenta minimizar. MAPA DE NASA EL REAL ES LA MONEDA MÁS DEVALUADA. El real brasileño ya es la moneda que más se ha devaluado en lo que va del año, en parte por las dudas que generan en el mercado financiero las propuestas del Gobierno de Jair Bolsonaro para aumentar el gasto público.Su situación es peor incluso que la de la vecina Argentina, que atraviesa una grave crisis económica. En el caso de Brasil, a la crisis provocada por la pandemia del coronavirus se une el riesgo fiscal que percibe el mercado con los recientes anuncios del Gobierno. POLÉMICA DECISIÓN DE WADA. Tras varios años de debate y de disputa, la WADA (Agencia Mundial Antidopaje) presentó el nuevo listado de sustancias prohibidas y las condenas que tiene cada una de ellas, y anunció que a partir del 2021 los consumos de marihuana, cocaína, éxtasis y heroína estará incluida en la categoría de "sustancias de abuso". ¿QUÉ SIGNIFICA? Que su consumo tiene una suspensión mucho menor a lo habitual y en este caso se confirmó que el plazo máximo será de tres meses, con la chance de que se reduzca a un mes si el atleta se pone a disposición de una serie de tratamientos. PARAGUAY Y UN HITO EN EL FÚTBOL SUDAMERICANO. Paraguay marcará un hito en el arbitraje femenino suramericano este viernes cuando Zulma Quiñónez sea colegiada encargada del VAR, sistema de video arbitraje en el que este país es también un pionero de la región. La Asociación Paraguaya de Fútbol (APF) designó este jueves a Quiñonez, de 33 años, a cargo del seguimiento electrónico del encuentro entre el Nacional y Sol de América. MESSI VS RONALDO UNA VEZ MÁS. Lionel Messi y Cristiano Ronaldo volverán a verse las caras en la "Champions League", pues Barcelona y Juventus compartirán el Grupo G, mientras que el campeón defensor, Bayern Munich, jugará en la zona A con Atlético Madrid. CON PÚBLICO EN CHAMPIONS LEAGUE. Según indicó el medio español Mundo Deportivo, la UEFA tiene previsto anunciar el próximo lunes la decisión de permitir que haya seguidores en las gradas de aquellos estadios cuyos gobiernos locales lo autoricen.  En Europa, por ahora hay público en Francia (5.000 como máximo), Italia (1.000) y en la Bundesliga (desde 10.383 en Mönchengladbach a 500 en Wolfsburgo) salvo en los campos de Bayern, Colonia, Schalke y Leverkusen mientras que en Inglaterra sigue todo a puertas cerradas, al igual que en España. AVANZA NOLE. El número 1 mundial Novak Djokovic logró su 70ma victoria en Roland Garros este jueves al batir en segunda ronda al lituano Ricardas Berankis (65o), al que no dejó ninguna opción; 6-1, 6-2 y 6-2.  El serbio, campeón únicamente en 2016, continuará el camino hacia su 18vo Grand Slam ante el colombiano Daniel Galán. BILLIE EILISH. El estreno de No Time to Die, la última película de Daniel Craig como James Bond, se acerca. Y ante el lanzamiento, previsto para el próximo 12 de noviembre, Billie Eilish lanza el videoclip del tema principal de la película, en el que derrocha sensualidad y, sobre todo, elegancia. Una intimista canción en la que pueden verse varias escenas del esperado filme de Cary J. Fukunaga.El lanzamiento de este videoclip confirma que Universal, de momento, no planea retrasar más el estreno de No Time to Die, programado para noviembre.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2020.08.21.261024v1?rss=1 Authors: Mori, K., Ozaki, H., Fukunaga, T. Abstract: Sequence motifs play essential roles in intermolecular interactions such as DNA-protein interactions. The discovery of novel sequence motifs is therefore crucial for revealing gene functions. Various bioinformatics tools have been developed for finding sequence motifs, but until now there has been no software based on statistical hypothesis testing with statistically sound multiple testing correction. Existing software therefore could not control for the type-1 error rates. This is because, in the sequence motif discovery problem, conventional multiple testing correction methods produce very low statistical power due to overly-strict correction. We developed MotiMul, which comprehensively finds significant sequence motifs using statistically sound multiple testing correction. Our key idea is the application of Tarone's correction, which improves the statistical power of the hypothesis test by ignoring hypotheses that never become statistically significant. For the efficient enumeration of the significant sequence motifs, we integrated a variant of the PrefixSpan algorithm with Tarone's correction. Simulation and empirical dataset analysis showed that MotiMul is a powerful method for finding biologically meaningful sequence motifs.

C., Murayama, M., Sadato, N., Kawato, M., Kasai, K., Okamoto, Y., Hanakawa, T., Hayashi, T., Brain/MINDS Beyond Human Brain MRI Group Abstract: Psychiatric and neurological disorders are afflictions of the brain that can affect individuals throughout their lifespan. Many brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies have been conducted; however, imaging-based diagnostic and therapeutic biomarkers are not yet well established. The Brain/MINDS Beyond human brain MRI project (FY2018 ~ FY2023) is a multi-site harmonization study aiming to establish clinically-relevant imaging biomarkers using multiple high-performance scanners, standardized multi-modal imaging, and a study design that includes traveling subjects. This project began with 13 clinical research sites that collect MRI data on psychiatric and neurological disorders across the lifespan and three research sites that design and develop measurement procedures, neuroimaging protocols, data storage and sharing, and analysis tools. Brain images obtained with the Harmonization protocol (HARP) are preprocessed and analyzed using approaches developed by the Human Connectome Project, generating preliminary cortical structure, function, and connectivity measures that are comparable across scanners. The use of 'travelling subjects', in which study participants travel to multiple sites to undergo scanning with standardized neuroimaging techniques, enable us to minimize the measurement bias between scanners and protocols and to increase the sensitivity and specificity of case-control studies. All the imaging and demographic and clinical data are shared between the participating sites and will be made publicly available in 2024. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first multi-site human brain MRI project to explore multiple psychiatric and neurological disorders across the lifespan. The Brain/MINDS Beyond human brain MRI project will help to identify the common and disease-specific pathophysiology features of brain diseases and develop imaging biomarkers for clinical practice.

Krissy (@krissy_myers) and James (@007hertzrumble) come to you live from an iconic James Bond location to discuss the folly that was the Bond 25 "press conference," being 'meh' about Bond in 2019, and how we'd make "Jim Bob" fresh again. 

What's the deal with the 'traditional' Bond production press conference? This episode of 'James Bond & Friends' is hosted by Paul Atkinson with guests Mark O'Connell, David Leigh, Bill Koenig and James Page. We discuss the kind of Bond film we are hoping for from Craig and Fukunaga, and expectations of a kick-off press conference any day now. Along the way we spoil the plot to several classics, uncover 'stealth writers' in our midst, curse local papers' photo editors, highlight the dangers of impersonating the PM, run into a drag-queen doorman, muse on the leaky nature of past productions, banish Tarantino from the Bondverse and stumble on a machine learning Bond film. The recording took place on April 5th, 2019 in the USA, UK, New Zealand and Spain.

"HOLD THE PRESSES! This just in..." Episode 19 of The Words Are Not Enough is a Bond 25 Emergency News Update!In this episode Griffin (@griffschiller) and Brody (@brodyserravalli) discuss the following:1. Bond 25 has found a DP* Earlier in the week, Variety's Kristopher Tapley broke the story that Academy Award-winning Swedish DP, Linus Sandgren (best know for La La Land and First Man) will be joining Bond 25 as Director of Photography, saying "It appears Linus Sandgren is shooting the next Bond". IndieWire has now confirmed this story, citing Sandgren himself as their source. 2. Seydoux to return* The Daily Mail's Baz Bamigboye reported that Cary Fukunaga had confirmed Lea Seydoux's return to the franchise, offering the concise comment "Lea will be returning".* Variety's Justin Kroll then corroborated Bamigboye's reporting, stating that a source had confirmed the story to Variety. * What this return could mean for 25 (continuation of Spectre's story) * What kind of role will Madeleine play in the movie (OHMSS-style death speculated among fans) - we weigh in * Confirms that Monica Bellucci probably won't be returning as rumoured (although does confirm they were looking to bring a Bond girl back for 25 - something Barbara Broccoli has been trying to do since TND)3. Casting call for two women and a villain* Kroll also reported that "EON is looking for two other actresses - one would play an MI6 agent who works with Bond and another, a mystery woman - as well as the Bond villain."* Alleged insiders then added that "Rami Malek was being eyed for the [villain] role, but his schedule on the last season of Mr Robot, which shoots from March through July, makes it unlikely he will be able to take the gig, even if EON offered him the part". * Does this mean Blofelwill not be returning as the villain?4. Harris, Whishaw, and Fiennes to return* In his conversation with Cary Fukunaga, Baz Bamigboye also confirmed that Ralph Fiennes, Ben Whishaw, and Naomi Harris would be returning as M, Q, and Moneypenny respectively. Cary seemed eager to work with the returning crew and the rest of the British talent likely to fill out the cast saying "You have some of the best actors in the world here, why wouldn't I have the best coming back?!" * Interesting that Rory Kinnear as Bill Tanner was not included in that list of MI6 regulars returning as he has been a staple of the Craig era Vauxhall.5. Cary Fukunaga suggested to be writing Bond 25 in addition to directing* In Justin Kroll's Variety piece, Cary Fukunaga is reported to now be writing Bond 25. In the article, Fukunaga is listed as the sole writer two times and no reference is made to any other writers. Bamigboye suggested that Purvis and Wade were on-board to write and that Fukunaga was having "major input" in the direction of the script, but this does not appear to have been based off of new information obtained during his interview with Fukunaga. It is very likely Bamigboye is basing this off of the uncited rumour that Bond 25 would be going back to using the Purvis and Wade treatment following John Hodge's departure. Fukunaga rewriting the film lines up with his earlier comments from last week about the film still being written. * Confirms earlier story that EON were looking for a writer/director for Bond 25 * If Purvis and Wade are in fact out - were EON looking for a writer/director because they were keen to rewrite/replace their original treatment6. Norway as a Bond 25 filming location* Norwegian outlet, Bergens Tidende, has reported that a filmed dubbed "B25" has applied for a 25% subsidy of costs intensive for filming in Noway. This was then corroborated by Norwegian film commissioner Adrian Mitchell who spoke to Oslo newspaper, Dagsavisen, and said the following "I can confirm that we have been in contact with... --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/the-words-are-not-enough/support

It's time to rock and ruin on Episode 18 of The Words Are Not Enough!In this episode Griffin (@griffschiller) and Brody (@brodyserravalli) discuss the following:Tomorrow Never Lies* Bond 25 Update * https://www.express.co.uk/entertainment/films/1051651/James-Bond-25-director-Cary-Fukunaga-Casino-Royale-Daniel-Craig-Spectre * It's only a matter of months before cameras begin rolling on Daniel Craig's final outing as James Bond and as expected we are starting to get little nuggets of information along the way. * When Director Danny Boyle was originally attached to the project, it was looking more and more as if Bond 25 would be a standalone not acknowledging the events of the Craig era and focusing on a self contained narrative. * Speaking with Inquirer.net, current Bond 25 Director Cary Fukunaga spoke a bit about how he plans to continue and conclude the journey Bond began back in Casino Royale saying the following: * “In terms of what I can bring to change the character, Bond is on a character arc that started with Casino Royale, and I will be carrying that on. * “There will be changes, I am sure. As in any story, a character has to change in order [to have] a narrative.” * And that's not ALL we got, Fukunaga even teased his progress on planning the film's action set pieces saying * “A little bit, but not all yet." * “I am trying to get all the narrative stuff sorted out and have a good story to tell." * Fukunaga then went on to promise fans that there will definitely be elements of the 007 formula involved saying: * “Yeah, there will be the things in the Bond-verse that you have come to expect,” he promised. “I can't say too much, though.” * The director also spoke a bit on working with Daniel Craig: * “Daniel is an incredible actor. Outside of Bond, I have been a fan for years of his work. For me, he was the best part of Road to Perdition. * “In his first Bond movie, Casino Royale, he brought an incredible amount of vulnerability and humanity to the character, which was a big shift from Pierce Brosnan's run." * Months ago it was heavily rumored that Christophe Waltz would not be reprising his role as Blofeld in 25 and to this Fukunaga replied with: * “Who is saying those rumours? We haven't finished the screenplay, so there is no way that anyone could know that. * "If there is space for [Blofeld] in the story, I would absolutely want [him] there. But I don't know yet what it's going to be." * As of now Bond 25 is still slated to release February 14th, 2020* Richard Madden the next Bond? * https://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/article/richard-madden-james-bond-interview?fbclid=IwAR2np2yuIf72_24y6VYQ-FCHmFgrB_1D_n239gsYBKKIERyYMOOeFOwdx0w * Game of Thrones alum and star of the new hit series The Bodyguard has been giving Bond bookies something to talk about recently as he's become one of the odds on favorites to replace Daniel Craig as the next James Bond * Now while as of today Nov. 30th, Madden was recently overtaken by Tom Hiddleston, who's odds are currently 5-4 compared to Madden's 2-1, during an interview with GQ the actor addressed the Bond rumors saying the following: * “My first reaction,” says Madden, “is always the same reaction, which is the papers make up a story on a Sunday so they can discredit that story on the Monday so they can sell papers on both days.” * “...this is what happens with all these shows, like Tom Hiddleston in The Night... --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/the-words-are-not-enough/support

In Episode 10, Cary Fukunaga discusses his love for screenwriting from an early age. The director behind 'True Detective' Season 1 talks about his Netflix film, 'Beasts of No Nation,' which stars Idris Elba. Currently, Fukunaga is also working on 'The Alienist' and 'Maniac' for television and he also has a writing credit for the new Stephen King adaptation 'It.'

Welcome to another edition of Solo Simpatico and David Tavolier's first! This week, David reviews the newly released movie adaption of Stephen King's classic, IT. This also gives David a chance to also discuss the idea of bringing King's various stories to the big (and little) screen and why they sometimes succeed and (more often) fail. Listen 'IT' Spoiler Free Review until 20:54 Spoiler Review ends at 52:12

On this episode of The Harold & Maudecast's Justice and Doom Now Playing Movie Reviews, Sarah Mason and Jake Essoe review IT. A new screen adaption of Stephen King's novel "It" has become the unlikely savior of the Summer box office shattering records with a $123m opening weekend. The novel which was originally published in 1986 was first adapted into a television miniseries in 1990. Set in a small town in Maine in the 1980s, the story follows the interactions of seven children who in addition to being stalked by a bully and his gang, are being hunted by a killer being who appears [mostly] in the form of a clown named Pennywise. The book weaves in and out of time periods alternating between the children's story and their reunion as adults. In this film it's all about the kids--a narrative choice which seems chosen solely to capitalize off the success of Stranger Things. Unfortunately, this film does not share the same charm and carefully crafted nostalgic atmosphere. The unknown and underwhelming cast of kids in IT (which does include one of the actors from Strangers Things, Finn Wolfhard), struggles to carry the film when Pennywise is not on the screen. Bill Skarsgård, who takes over the role of Pennywise from Tim Curry (in the 1990 series), gives a career-defining performance. Terrified of clowns or not, it was hard not to crave his presence on screen. The bond between the kids, the self-named "Losers Club", which is so beautifully developed in the book and the 1990 miniseries, seems thrown in only as necessary for their joint encounters with Pennywise and bully Henry Bowers. DIrector Andrés Muschietti (MAMA) took the helm after Cary Fukunaga (True Detective) left for creative differences. Fukunaga along with Chase Palmer and Gary Dauberman are credited with the script. Can't help but wonder what those creative differences were and if Fukunaga's vision would have been more fulfilling. A sequel is already in the works which will undoubtedly feature the grown ups. If you have not read the book, love experiencing shared scares, and are NOT hopelessly afraid of clowns you will enjoy seeing IT in the theater. We give IT a 7.2 for Bill Skarsgård's performance and some visually intriguing oh-so scary creatures. For more reviews visit out website at www.thehmcnetwork.com

Director Cary Fukunaga was born half-Japanese, half-Swedish. His works travel wide cultural distances, as well. He's told an immigrant story (Sin Nombre), created authentic British period drama (Jane Eyre), and explored gothic noir (True Detective). His latest film, Beasts of No Nation, travels to an African country of no name. And while he's got a great eye for the specifics of his locations, Fukunaga also studies the emotional landscapes of complicated characters. He tells host Alec Baldwin that he enjoys the conflict between the appearance of normalcy and a darker underlying reality. WNYC wants to get to know you better! Take our survey

Cary Fukunaga, the director of such edgy films as Jane Eyre and Sin Nombre, not to mention the often discomforting first season of True Detective, still has a fear of clowns. Fukunaga is now remaking Stephen King's It, and he told a crowd at the Tribeca Film Festival that in his mind, he still sees the same haunting image of Pennywise the clown that he saw as a kid.  Hear Fukunaga's full conversation with veteran independent film producer James Schamus.

In the latest Talkhouse Film podcast, I Origins writer-director Mike Cahill and True Detective director Cary Fukunaga are in conversation. Cahill makes emotionally acute sci-fi movies that ask big cosmic questions, while Fukunaga's work is darker and grounded in an often bleak reality; although their filmmaking styles couldn't be more different, the two have been good friends for years. Their wonderfully wide-ranging conversation here takes in everything from science to storytelling, with some gripping real-life stories of ghosts and the unexplained in there too.

Den svenska kortfilmen har svårt att nå ut, trots internationella framgångar. Nu öppnas nya fönster utanför SVT och filmfestivalerna. Men var finns kortfilmens hemmahamn? Kan det vara en pub i London, eller en tunnelbana i Tyskland? Det är i alla fall platser som regissören Per Carleson valt att visa sina kortfilmer på. Han söker konstant efter nya vägar för distribution. Hör även Jon Nohrstedt som är producent och Anne-Marie Söhrman Fermelin tidigare kortfilmskonsulent vid Svenska Filminstitutet och nu lektor vid Göteborgs filmhögskola diskutera kortfilmens liv och död. Vi har också kollat in det amerikanska dvd-magasinet Wolphine, som ger ut samlingsskivor i varje nummer med ett antal internationella kortfilmer. Startat av bland annat David Eggers och resten av gänget bakom überhippa förlaget McSweeney. Möt redaktören Brent Hoff och hör hur han resonerar kring de filmer som får plats i tidningen. För den prisbelönte långfilmaren Cary Fukunaga började hela karriären med en kortfilm. I Sverigeaktuella Sin Nombre får vi möta sydamerikanska flyktingar som försöker ta sig in i USA, åkandes på tågtak. Teman som rotlöshet och flykt fanns också med i hans kortfilm, den som hypade honom bland finansiärer och filmproducenter. Fukunaga berättar om tågfärder och den amerikanska drömmen i Kino denna vecka. Veckans klassiker handlar om Jayne Mansfield. Bombnedslaget som hamnade i dum blondin-facket, trots att hon var smartare än dom flesta. Programledare: Roger Wilson
