On this episode of Face2Face, David Peck sits down with legendary filmmaker David Cronenberg and acclaimed costume designer Anne Dixon to explore their haunting new film The Shrouds. We dive into grief, storytelling, and the power of collaboration—from Dixon's sculptural approach to costume design to Cronenberg's reflections on love, loss, and existentialism. It's a layered, philosophical conversation about death, creativity, and connection—and one that turns costume and character into deeply human art forms.Synopsis:In The Shrouds, visionary filmmaker David Cronenberg delivers one of his most personal and provocative works to date. The film follows Karsh (Vincent Cassel), a grieving tech entrepreneur who, after the death of his wife Becca (Diane Kruger), develops GraveTech—a revolutionary system that allows mourners to monitor the real-time decomposition of their loved ones via high-tech burial shrouds and smartphone apps.Set in a near-future Toronto, the narrative unfolds as Karsh's creation becomes the center of controversy and intrigue. When several graves, including Becca's, are vandalized, Karsh embarks on a journey to uncover the perpetrators, delving into a web of conspiracies that blur the lines between technology, grief, and obsession. Drawing inspiration from Cronenberg's own experience with loss, The Shrouds is a meditation on mourning, the human desire for connection beyond death, and the unsettling intersections of technology and emotion. With its haunting visuals, a synth-heavy score by longtime collaborator Howard Shore, and a narrative that challenges perceptions of reality and memory, the film stands as a testament to Cronenberg's enduring exploration of the human condition.David Cronenberg is one of Canada's most influential and daring filmmakers, renowned for pushing the boundaries of cinema. Often dubbed the “Baron of Blood,” his work explores the dark intersections of technology, the body, and psychological trauma. From cult classics like Videodrome and The Fly to award-winning dramas like A History of Violence and Eastern Promises, Cronenberg has consistently challenged audiences with his provocative storytelling and signature style. With The Shrouds, he turns inward, crafting a deeply personal meditation on grief and connection, once again proving that he remains one of cinema's most fearless auteurs.Anne Dixon is a celebrated costume designer whose work spans film, television, opera, and dance, bringing characters to life through meticulous research and a deep understanding of visual storytelling. Her recent collaboration with Viggo Mortensen on The Dead Don't Hurt showcases her commitment to authenticity, as she recreated 19th-century attire with precision, even commissioning traditional ceinture fléchée belts from Quebec artisans to reflect the film's French-Canadian roots.Dixon's diverse portfolio includes projects like The Song of Names, Falling, and Anne with an E, earning her accolades such as the CAFTCAD Award and multiple Canadian Screen Award nominations. Her designs are known for their emotional depth and historical accuracy, making her a sought-after talent in the industry.F2F Music and Image Copyright: David Peck and Face2Face.For more information about David Peck please visit his site here.With thanks to Josh Snethlage and Mixed Media Sound.

Uspešen poslovnež in ekscentrični tehnološki izumitelj srednjih let Karsh Relikh po smrti svoje lepe žene Becce, ki je umrla zaradi raka, česar Karsh ne more preboleti, razvije revolucionarno tehnologijo. Mrtvaški prt, nekakšen 3D digitalni skener, svojcem omogoča spremljanje razgradnje človeškega telesa po pokopu. Za ta posebna pokopališča se začne zanimati več mest in investitorjev po svetu, vendar pa neko noč neznanci oskrunijo več grobov, tudi tistega, v katerem je pokopana Becca. Karsh se odloči priti zadevi do dna, a na tej poti vedno bolj drsi v vrtinec preganjavice. 81-letni David Cronenberg pravi, da je celovečerec Mrtvaški prt, premierno predstavljen lani v Cannesu, njegov najbolj oseben in intimen doslej. V filmu je, kot v večini njegovih del, nekaj hipnotičnega, gleda se ga s cmokom v grlu in nejevero, kot mešanico morbidnosti in romantike. Kot futuristično reinterpretacijo Edgarja Allana Poeja ali Frankensteina Mary Shelley, ki bi ga brali od konca proti začetku. Mrtvaški prt je Cronenbergova meditacija o smrti in telesnosti, o bližini in obsedenosti, o voajerizmu in mislih, ki jih običajno odrivamo stran. Za Cronenberga je bila umetnost vedno tudi poligon za preizkušanje meja – tudi meja biologije, družbe in vsega, čemur pravimo »človeško«. Film se skuša odzivati na naš čas s svojo digitalno paranojo, mrežnimi povezavami, v katere bi lahko bila združena ta pokopališča, mednarodnim vohunjenjem, Rusi in Kitajci, biomedicinsko manipulacijo in globalnim nadzorom. Mimogrede, večina vrhunske tehnologije, ki jo uporabljamo v vsakdanjem življenju, je bila razvita v vojaške namene, vključno s svetovnim spletom. Vse to brbota nekje v ozadju Karsheve zasebne zgodbe. Ja, Mrtvaškemu prtu lahko očitamo, da je ob vsej svoji drznosti tudi nekakšen Cronenbergov »the best of«. Zdi se, da je iz vsakega svojega dela pobral po nekaj idej. Res veliko je dialogov in ne najboljše igre; kljub temu, da v osrednjih vlogah nastopajo Vincent Cassel, Diane Kruger in Guy Pearce, so vsi malce leseni, karikirani. Rigor mortis kot koncept? Če smo že omenili Poeja, mi pride ob tem pristopu na misel še B-filmski kralj Roger Corman ... Kakorkoli, celovečercev, ki bi idejno dražili gledalce, je danes bolj malo; Mrtvaški prt je tako antipod oskarjevske slavljenke Anore. Gre tudi za metafilm o sobivanju živih in mrtvih ter sobivanju notranjega in zunanjega sveta, kar je ena od rdečih niti Cronenbergovega opusa. Ta razume film tudi kot stroj za oživljanje duhov, in dejansko je v Mrtvaškem prtu nekaj elegičnega. Zdi se, kot da bi zadnji kader leta med oblake naznanil tudi avtorjevo dokončno slovo od filmskega ustvarjanja. Recenzijo je pripravil Gorazd Trušnovec, bere Igor Velše.

The film involves grieving tech entrepreneur Karsh (played brilliantly by Vincent Cassel) who has developed the means to surveil the dead in their tombs, including his recently deceased wife. After a series of grave defacements in the cemetery plot he owns, and in which his wife is buried, Karsh ventures down a rabbit hole of conspiracies technological, geopolitical, and psychosexual seeking answers in an increasingly indeterminate reality.We attempt to unpack this rich text with an examination of Cronenberg's perspectives on our hypermediated present, and how the constant hum of "connectedness" becomes an impedement to our ability to process our own traumas. Then, we explore the films labyrinthine narrative, weaving an intricate - a deliberately unresolvable - web of various plots, evoking the derealization of our interconnected age of information overload. Finally, we explore the films nuanced, mature eroticism, and illuminate why Cronenberg is the master of making non-cinematic sex feel simultaneously trenchant and deeply arousing.The Roxie theater in San Francisco is still seeking funds to help buy their building!

Writer and director David Cronenberg's new film "The Shrouds" is partly inspired from the grief of losing his wife in recent years. The film follows a grieving businessman named Karsh who invents a way to connect with the dead. Cronenberg discusses, alongside actor Diane Kruger, who stars in the film. "The Shrouds" is in New York and Los Angeles theaters on Friday April 18 and nationwide April 25.

A new film by David Cronenberg is always a major event for all of us at Film Comment, especially after his 2022 opus Crimes of the Future was voted the Best Film of the Year by our contributors. So with Cronenberg's latest, The Shrouds, opening in cinemas this weekend, we invited this singular auteur to talk about his strange and thrilling new movie.  Like much of Cronenberg's work, The Shrouds is obsessed with sex and death, body and technology. But it's also funnier and more personal than almost anything the Canadian filmmaker has made before. Written in the wake of his wife Carolyn Cronenberg's death, the film follows a grieving entrepreneur named Karsh (Vincent Cassell), who has invented software that allows people to monitor the decaying bodies of their deceased loved ones. When some of Karsh's high-tech graves are vandalized, a complicated mystery arises, embroiling a number of eccentric characters—including the lookalike sister of Karsh's dead wife, played by Diane Kruger, and her ex-husband, a software developer played by Guy Pearce. As questions and conspiracies proliferate in the film, answers become more and more elusive. In the process, The Shrouds emerges as an extremely intelligent and moving film about our desperation for explanations in the face of the unknowable. For today's episode, Film Comment Editors Devika Girish and Clinton Krute chat with Cronenberg about making art to process loss, the eroticism of conspiracy theories, and why The Shrouds is very much a Toronto film.

We can feel ourselves rotting on a brand new episode of Cinema Smorgasbord Sells Out covering Cronenberg's latest - and perhaps most personal - work THE SHROUDS from 2024. Vincent Cassel stars as Karsh, a businessman who has developed a technology called a shroud, which allows people to view the corpses of their loved ones after they have been buried. After a targeted attack of his graveyard (including the grave of his late wife), Karsh - with the help of his late wife's sister and her ex-husband - starts to investigate the motivation behind the attack. It's dark, oppressive, oddly funny and awfully odd, but is it great? Let's discuss! The post Episode 268 – Cinema Smorgasbord Sells Out – The Shrouds (2024) first appeared on Cinema Smorgasbord.

Guitarist from Pittsburgh talks about the bandstand lessons he learned from cats like J.C. Moses and how he keeps his ears and mind open to all music's.

Mark Kensett is a photographer and has worked in it for 40 years since he was 17. Mark started in a commercial studio when he was 17—then co-founded a studio for a while. He finally sold his share in that and then moved on to work for himself. Mark says his early work was all done on large-format film cameras.  Sam asks if he can tell us about some of the clients he has worked with or shoots he has done over the years. Mark started as a food photographer and told us about a shoot he did with a food client who worked with the top chefs of the day. He did a commercial shoot during the day and presented a slide show by the end of the day, which was a lot of stress and work getting everything processed in time. He says it was interesting moving from large format cameras to high-quality digital. And they very quickly moved to digital as they saw how good it was. The studio he worked from was an early adopter of digital. Sam asks what he is working on now. Mark says he still works with food and some education customers. He also works with human rights charities. He should be going to Peru next month. Sam asks what he does about charity photography work. Mark says he has a sliding scale and tends to look at what something is worth beyond the financial. So is it good for his portfolio, does he believe in the cause etc? So he looks at these factors and where he will charge them on his sliding scale that goes from free to full corporate rate. Marcus says Mark does a wide range of photography and has wondered if he has ever thought about moving into a niche. Mark says that his training in the studio was very broad. He doesn't do portraits and weddings but still does a wide range of work. He also thinks that within London you could niche very tightly, but less so in the regions. Mark talks about charging for clients. He says deciding a “day rate” is quite an art. It partly depends on what the market will take, his investment in the kit and other factors. Sam asks about personal projects. He says he did a lot of dance photography. It started because his daughter was at a dance school. He did some photography for free for the dance school. He then worked with a designer on a book showing dance photography. This opened doors to commercial clients. Sam says that this is a similar story to Joe Giacomet whose personal project with football cards led to lots of work. Marcus asks about photographers who inspire him. Mark says Yousef Karsh  has been there from day one. He was also inspired by his Uncle who was also a Karsh fan. Sebastian Selgado is another photographer he admires both in terms of his photography and what he does. Joey Lawrence is a young portrait photographer in New York.   Sam asks what words of advice he has for new photographers. Mark is helping to mentor some young photographers. Mark says those leaving education are creative but don't often have the business and marketing skills. He says you have to do personal work. He thinks this is where you learn fastest. Getting out there and learning from your mistakes is so important. Marcus says there is a film out about the photographer Lee Miller. Marcus asks if it's still “cool” to be a photographer. He thinks maybe fashion photographers like Marcus are cool but not him. Marcus asks what is happening next. Mark says he he off to Peru with Edukids. Mark says he is aware he is entering the third stage of his career. He tries to stay fit but realises it is a young man's game and he is conscious that he is getting older. So he is starting to develop a mentoring program for young photographers and helping them become visual storytellers.

'The Roaring Lion' is the name of a famous portrait: a stern-eyed Winston Churchill that became the symbol of the war effort. The story behind the piece is fascinating. In 2021, one of the original portraits was stolen from a Ottawa hotel during the COVID lockdown. And no one noticed for months.

Welcome to spooky SZN, witches! This week on GMTD, we're breaking down “Twitches Too” with our switch (sister witch) Claire Woolcott! This movie is a mess from top to bottom, but WOW are Tia and Tamera watchable! This movie starts exactly where we left off with the first installment (we think???), but with more animosity and worse acting??? Once again, a shadow presence is threatening the kingdom of Coventry, or is the shadow presence the long lost king who sacrificed his life to save his daughters?? It's hard to know who's evil and who's not, which twin loves which boy, or even which twin is which sometimes — it's a grab bag! But luckily we also have horrible special effects, potentially interesting plot points that never come to fruition, and even more horrendous comedy from Karsh and Ileana! It's a dream! Brought to you by Heinz*, the official ketchup up of Give Me That D. Enjoyyyyyyyyyyy *Heinz is in no way affiliated with GMTD, but they do make a great personal lubricant!

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2023.07.14.548952v1?rss=1 Authors: Birman, D., Yang, K. J., West, S. J., Karsh, B., Browning, Y., International Brain Laboratory,, Siegle, J. H., Steinmetz, N. A. Abstract: Targeting deep brain structures during electrophysiology and injections requires intensive training and expertise. Even with experience, researchers often can't be certain that a probe is placed precisely in a target location and this complexity scales with the number of simultaneous probes used in an experiment. Here, we present Pinpoint, open-source software that allows for interactive exploration of stereotaxic insertion plans. Once an insertion plan is created, Pinpoint allows users to save these online and share them with collaborators. 3D modeling tools allow users to explore their insertions alongside rig and implant hardware and ensure plans are physically possible. Probes in Pinpoint can be linked to electronic micro-manipulators allowing real-time visualization of current brain region targets alongside neural data. In addition, Pinpoint can control manipulators to automate and parallelize the insertion process. Compared to previously available software, Pinpoint's easy access through web browsers, extensive features, and real-time experiment integration enable more efficient and reproducible recordings.

As the Iraqi army digs into Kuwait, the world considers how to respond to Saddam Hussein's breach of national sovereignty. President George H.W. Bush vows that the aggression “will not stand” and begins assembling an international coalition to force a withdrawal. Invited into Saudi Arabia, the recently reformed American military prepares for an eventual confrontation with Iraq's battle-hardened forces. Meanwhile, a hostage crisis unfolds and a domestic debate threatens to fracture Bush's Coalition.  SOURCES: Aburish, Said K. Saddam Hussein: The Politics of Revenge. 2000. Atkinson, Rick.

J., Karsh, B., Colonell, J., Lanfranchi, F., Vyas, S., Zimnik, A., Steinemann, N. A., Wagenaar, D. A., Andrei, A., Mora Lopez, C., OCallaghan, J. M., Putzeys, J., Raducanu, B. C., Welkenhuysen, M., Churchland, M., Moore, T., Shadlen, M. N., Shenoy, K. V., Tsao, D., Dutta, B., Harris, T. Abstract: High-density, integrated silicon electrodes have begun to transform systems neuroscience, by enabling large-scale neural population recordings with single cell resolution. Existing technologies, however, have provided limited functionality in nonhuman primate species such as macaques, which offer close models of human cognition and behavior. Here, we report the design, fabrication, and performance of Neuropixels 1.0-NHP, a high channel count linear electrode array designed to enable large-scale simultaneous recording in superficial and deep structures within the macaque or other large animal brain. These devices were fabricated in two versions: 4416 electrodes along a 45 mm shank, and 2496 along a 25 mm shank. For both versions, users can programmably select 384 channels, enabling simultaneous multi-area recording with a single probe. We demonstrate recording from over 3000 single neurons within a session, and simultaneous recordings from over 1000 neurons using multiple probes. This technology represents a significant increase in recording access and scalability relative to existing technologies, and enables new classes of experiments involving fine-grained electrophysiological characterization of brain areas, functional connectivity between cells, and simultaneous brain-wide recording at scale.

There does not seem to be anything out of place with the concept of Tuesday the 13th though certainly someone has written a script pairing this ill-sounding day with a figure like Krampus. Rather than imagine how that would turn out, better instead to learn that the unlucky day of December is National Cocoa Day. So put the kettle on and grab a mug and settle in for the latest edition of Charlottesville Community Engagement. I'm Sean Tubbs.On today's program:* A legislator from the Shenandoah Valley has died * Inflation increased again in November, but not as much as in the previous month* UVA Health officials recommend getting a flu vaccine and keeping a mask handy* Perrone Robotics to launch autonomous shuttle at North Fork Discovery Park in Albemarle* The University of Virginia's Buildings and Grounds Committee debate whether red brick should be included in the future Karsh Institute of Democracy  This is a public episode.

“Do ‍ 1. Research the sex club you're attending Every sex club is different. They have different rules, prices, and vibes. It's important to research the sex club you're attending so you can learn if there are any rules specific to it, and if it feels like a good fit for you. Kink and sex educator Emerson Karsh tells O.school that you should “vet the space/club before going! Make sure your values align with the club's values and it will feel like a safe space for you.” For example, there are some clubs specifically for swingers (aka a swingers club) and may only let you attend as a couple, or as a single woman, Some clubs work to be LGBTQ+ inclusive or safe for BIPOC folks and may have nights for BIPOC or queer and trans folks only. Karsh tells O.school, “Some [other] things to look out for when vetting a club are how do they vet people coming? What is the condom usage/requirement? What does consent look like in the space? Are there moderators working the event? What's the toy/kink gear policy? And any COVID things you wanna look out for!” 2. Be clear on your intentions and boundaries Before you go to a sex club, set expectations and boundaries for yourself. Think about what you do and don't want to do, and what you're unsure about. Think about your intention, be it to explore your sexuality further or to simply find community and a safe space. What do you want out of the experience in general, not just sexually? In her podcast, Sex with Dr. Jess, Dr. Jess O'Riley says to consider “How long will you spend at the club when you visit? Will you have a drink? How many drinks will you have? Will you dance? Do you plan to undress? How will you respond if you're feeling uncomfortable? What areas of the club will you visit? (e.g. Will you go into the play rooms or just the bar?)” 3. Engage only in activities that feel comfortable While many people think the only thing to do at a sex club is have sex, this isn't true. You don't have to have sex at a sex club as there are many other ways to explore and have fun. You can go to a sex club and watch other people have sex (with their consent), have a drink, dance, swim in the pool (if they have one), attend educational events, or mingle and make friends and community. 4. Set expectations with your partner(s) if you're attending together Karsh says that in addition to setting boundaries for yourself, you also need to set boundaries with whoever you're going with. “If you're going with a partner, have a big discussion of boundaries and limits so you both can feel happy and comfortable in the space as both people and partners.” Talk about how each of you feel about drinking, being naked, having sex, having sex together with another person, having sex with other people, or someone watching you have sex. Consider how you will check in and support your partner throughout the experience. 5. Come prepared At a basic level, you'll likely need to come prepared with your ID, some cash, and ticket. While many clubs provide condoms, lube, and towels, consider bringing your own just in case. If the particular party or club you're attending allows toys and props for play (not all do), consider what you could bring to make you feel sexy. For example, you might want to bring your favorite vibrator, blindfold, flogger, or harness. Some people bring many toys while others bring just one or two. Some people only bring their essentials, like their favorite lube and condoms.” --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/antonio-myers4/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/antonio-myers4/support

La saison 3 D'innombrables voyages du Musée canadien de l'immigration du Quai 21 célèbre les contributions d'immigrants canadiens de première et de deuxième génération aux arts du spectacle et aux arts visuels. Nous commençons par une célébration de la vie et du travail du légendaire photographe Yousuf Karsh. La famille de Karsh a fui le génocide arménien. Karsh avait 15 ans lorsqu'il est arrivé, tout seul, à Halifax, un soir de nouvel an enneigé. Il a été accueilli par son oncle, qui allait bientôt lui donner un appareil photo. C'était un cadeau fatidique. Entre 1931 et 1993, Karsh a photographié certaines des personnes les plus célèbres du monde : Einstein, Picasso, Jacqueline et John F. Kennedy, Churchill, Sophia Loren, et bien d'autres. L'histoire de la vie de Karsh, de réfugié à photographe de renommée mondiale, est dévoilée, comme plus de 100 de ses photographies dans une merveilleuse exposition présentée au Musée canadien de l'immigration, L'univers de Yousuf Karsh : L'essence du sujet. Nous visitons l'exposition et discutons avec Hilliard Goldfarb, Ph.D., conservateur principal, et Tanya Bouchard, du Musée canadien de l'immigration du Quai 21. M. Goldfarb décrit les origines improbables de la carrière de Karsh. Et nous rencontrons aussi Saïda Ouchaou-Ozarowski, une portraitiste d'un autre genre. Une immigrante française, Saïda est journaliste à Radio-Canada et une documentariste passionnée par la narration des histoires des communautés francophones sous-représentées. À 20 ans, elle est élue au conseil municipal de sa banlieue parisienne. Mais peu après la fin de son premier mandat, elle est arrivée au Canada et a été ravie de trouver des communautés francophones à Vancouver, où elle a élu domicile. Dans son dernier documentaire, À pleine voix, elle nous fait découvrir six femmes canadiennes musulmanes. Saïda dit : « Alors moi, ce qui m'a toujours intéressée, c'est les angles oubliés, les personnes qui n'ont pas la parole, en fait, et souvent, c'est quelque chose que je trouve inspiré de ma propre histoire. »

Season 3 of Countless Journeys from the Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21 celebrates the contributions of Canadian immigrants to the performing and visual arts. We begin with a celebration of the life and work of legendary photographer Yousuf Karsh. Karsh was 13 years old when his family fled the Armenian Genocide, escaping to Syria. Two years later, his family sent Karsh, alone, to Halifax, where he was met by an uncle who brought him to his home in Sherbrooke Quebec. Karsh's life story, from refugee to world-class photographer, unfolds, along with more than 100 of his portraits, in a wonderful exhibit featured at the Canadian Museum of Immigration, The World of Yousuf Karsh: A Private Essence. We speak with Dr. Hilliard Goldfarb, who is senior curator emeritus with the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, and the lead curator of the exhibit. “By the time of his closing the studio in Ottawa in 1993, he had literally photographed most of the famous people in the world: Churchill, Castro, Trudeau, Khrushchev, Jacqueline and John Kennedy, Nelson Mandela, Eleanor Roosevelt, Einstein, Picasso,” says Goldfarb. And Dinuk Wijeratne is a Juno award winning composer and performer whose music blurs boundaries and shakes up traditional approaches to classical music. Born in Sri Lanka, raised in Dubai, Dinuk came to Canada in 2004 after landing a job with Symphony Nova Scotia. Dinuk has performed on the biggest stages, like Carnegie Hall, the Lincoln Centre and the Opera Bastille, alongside musical luminaries like Yo Yo Ma and Zakir Hussain. Dinuk Wijeratne speaks with host Paolo Pietropaolo about his life and musical journey, and his devotion to eliminating barriers in the world of classical music. “Classical music has a very traditional past, it has a very centralised past, but I firmly believe that it should be accessible to everyone. I think that everyone, every single artist who says they engage with classical music should feel totally free to express and explore their own identity.”

This week we are taking a bold stroll into new territory, the co-host interview. Our whole season has been about faith and transformation, from global to personal. Today we get extra personal and have a great time doing it. Let's get into Rielly's life story and her feelings on faith, transformation, and where she finds solace and peace. Tovah takes a turn at putting her co-host Rielly in the hot seat, asking all the burning questions from where she derives her faith, how she came to terms with her sense of faith, and how she incorporates faith into her daily life. Tables turn to transformation and your favorite hosts walk through all things transformation, from what seemed minor at the time to the later realization that small changes lead to life altering pathways. Get to know your hosts in ways that are new, fun and possibly embarrassing. Let's get bold!RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THE SHOWDid you enjoy this episode? We would love to hear your thoughts.

The word penultimate means “the one before the last.” But what about the one before that one? For this is the third to last Monday of 2021, and it feels there should be a better way of saying that. In any case, this is the first edition of Charlottesville Community Engagement for the third to last week of the year. That’s twice we’ve needed that word in this newsletter so far. I’m your host, Sean Tubbs, here again to bring you information about the area even if not every word is precise.Charlottesville Community Engagement is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.On today’s show:An update on the Emmet-Ivy corridor and sustainability efforts from the University of VirginiaThe new Dean of the School of Architecture and the director of the Karsh Institute of Democracy introduce themselves to a Board of Visitors panel More on the search for a corporate-appointed City Manager for CharlottesvilleA COVID update and a few more bills are before the General AssemblyIn today’s first Patreon-fueled shout-out: Colder temperatures are creeping in, and now is the perfect time to think about keeping your family warm through the holidays.

The seven-day average for positive cases is now at 8.7 percent. That number is a little higher in the Blue Ridge Health District at 8.9 percent. For most of the pandemic, the Charlottesville area has lagged behind the statewide number. There are 58 new cases reported in the Blue Ridge Health District today, but no new fatalities. The seven-day average for new cases in the state is 2,520 a day. RFP closingThe window closes tomorrow at 4 p.m. for firms who are interested in assisting the city of Charlottesville with interim management services until a new top official is appointed. The RFP issued on December 3 requires a firm to provide someone with at least ten years of municipal management experience to run the city on an interim basis. Two addendums to the proposal were made Friday. (read the proposal)This process is not without precedent in Virginia. The Town of Amherst hired the Berkley Group in 2017 to hire a former Pulaski County administrator to serve as interim manager. Peter Huber served for five months as part of the Berkley Group’s Executive Transition Assistance program.  Huber is now serving in a similar position in Alleghany County according to his LinkedIn profile. According to Berkley’s website, they’ve provided this service in dozens of Virginia localities, from the town of Abingdon to the town of Windsor. General Assembly 2022There is less than a month until the Virginia General Assembly convenes for the 2022 session. Several bills have already been filed, and the number coming in right now is low enough to report some of what’s currently in the legislative information system.Senator Mamie J. Locke (D-Hampton) has filed a bill calling for a Constitutional amendment granting the right for people convicted of felons to be able to vote upon release. (SJ1)Delegate James Morefield (R-North Tazewell) has filed a bill establishing a Flood Relief Fund using a portion of the state’s proceeds from Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative auctions. (HB5) Senator Travis Hackworth (R-Richlands) filed a bill that would terminate power of attorney for anyone convicted of acting against their client. (SB10)Senator David Suetterlein (R-Roanoke) filed a bill increasing the standard deductions for Virginia income tax for both single and married people. (SB11)Senator David Suetterlein (R-Roanoke) has another that would allow localities to issue refunds on excess personal property taxes. (SB12)Delegate Lee Ware (R-Powhatan) has filed legislation that would compel “accomodations providers” to provide more information to localities upon request in the collection of transient lodging taxes. (HB7)Sustainability and Emmet-Ivy updatesLast week, the University of Virginia Board of Visitors met, and the December 10 edition of this show featured some information. On Friday, Bryan McKenzie reported in the Daily Progress that the Board voted to increase tuition by 4.7 percent in the 2022-23 school year and 3.7 percent for the following year. Read his story for more details. On Thursday, the Buildings and Grounds Committee meeting was a shorter one than usual, but members were briefed on several items of note. One related to UVA’s sustainability efforts. Colette Sheehy is the Senior Vice President for Operations and State Government at UVA.“You’ll recall that the big audacious goal for sustainability is to be carbon neutral by 2030 and fossil-fuel free by 2050,” Sheehy said. “Overall our emissions are down by 44 percent over the last decade which is equivalent to about 160,000 tons of carbon.” However, that doesn’t include the carbon footprint of new buildings built at UVA during the period, though they are built to LEED certification according to Green Building Standards. Sheehy said UVA has to do more to meet its goals.“In order to reach our carbon neutrality goal by 2030, we need to reduce our current emissions by another 160,000 tons and probably another 36,000 related to new construction,” Sheehy said. Sheehy also briefed the Buildings and Grounds Committee on efforts to reduce single-use plastics in order to comply with an executive order from Governor Ralph Northam. She said it’s a University-wide effort. “The biggest challenge is actual single-use plastic water bottles which is why you now see aluminum water bottles used to the extent that we can get them,” Sheehy said. “One of the issues is supply-chain and quantity, particularly if you are at a football and tens of thousands of water bottles that are sold.” Sheehy concluded her presentation with an update on construction of the new Emmet-Ivy precinct, which will house the School of Data Science, the Karsh Democracy Institute, and a hotel and convention center. Utility work has been underway on the site of the former Cavalier Inn, which was demolished to make way for the future. “We expect to be complete with all the utility and road work that sits outside the construction fencing by the end of the first quarter of 2022,” Sheehy said. The south side of Ivy Road will also be altered with new retaining walls and a monumental staircase leading up to the International Residential College. “The foundation work for Data Science should start in early January with completion of that building in the fall of 2023,” Sheehy said. “The plan is the hotel should begin construction in the spring with completion in the fall of 2024.” Design work has begun for the Karsh Institute of Democracy. Höweler+Yoon is the architect. Emmett Streetscape newsThere was also news about the Emmet Street Streetscape, one of the first projects funded through the Virginia Department of Transportation’s Smart Scale process. A design public hearing of the $12 million project was held in December 2019 and is being overseen by the City of Charlottesville. Alice Raucher is the UVa Architect. “They submitted their complete documents to VDOT which is one of the required steps in order to begin the negotiations for the right of way,” Raucher said. Appraisals are underway for the easements or property acquisitions needed for the project. Raucher had no timetable for when that might happen. The Emmet Streetscape runs from Ivy Road to Arlington Boulevard and includes a 10-foot wide multiuse path on the western side of the road. (read the brochure)In today’s second Patreon-fueled shout-out: The Plant Northern Piedmont Natives Campaign  an initiative that wants you to grow native plants in yards, farms, public spaces and gardens in the northern Piedmont. Winter is here, but spring isn’t too far away. This is a great time to begin planning for the spring. Native plants provide habitat, food sources for wildlife, ecosystem resiliency in the face of climate change, and clean water.  Start at the Plant Northern Piedmont Natives Facebook page and tell them Lonnie Murray sent you!*Architecture and Democracy at UVAAfter the Buildings and Grounds Committee concluded on Thursday, the Academic and Student Life Committee met and heard from the new dean of the School of Architecture and the director of the Karsh Institute for Democracy.  First up: Malo Hutson took over as Dean of the School of Architecture at the beginning of the academic year. He previously was at Columbia University where he directed the Urban Communities and Health Equity Lab. Hutson said the study of architecture is focused on the public realm. “We’re focused on addressing some of the biggest issues of the world, ranging from climate change all the way to the importance of cultural landscape and heritage, to thinking about do you build with healthy materials and so forth and transportation,” Hutson said. Hutson said the School of Architecture has several priorities and values shared with the rest of the UVA Community. He said the four departments in the school are all focused on climate resilience and climate justice, as well as equity and inclusion. Hutson said faculty and staff have an eye on Virginia’s needs as they craft the Climate Justice Initiative. “We know that we are susceptible to storms and flooding all kinds of things that are going on and so how do we engage in a way from whether we’re talking about Northern Virginia to Hampton Roads to all the way in Southwest Virginia?”The Karsh Institute of Democracy exists to reflect on the same basic question. Melody Barnes is the first executive director of the new entity which was founded in 2018. She said democracy is in trouble in the United States and around the world, citing a CBS News poll from January.“Seventy-one percent of Americans believe that democracy in the United States is threatened,” Barnes said. “A more recent poll from just about a month ago, the Pew Research Center indicates that there are about 19 percent of Americans who believe that American democracy is still a role model for democracy in the world.”Barnes said the University of Virginia is well-positioned to take up the cause and the Democracy Initiative has built on the work. “We also believe that this is a moment that we have to do more and that we are well-situated to do more,” Barnes said. Barnes said the Institute will be public-facing and will seek to engage with the community around UVA. “We want to use this moment, we want to leverage the assets and resources that we have to develop solutions, best practices, and new ideas to address the very challenges I just mentioned,” Barnes said. This Institute’s mission is to “generate new ideas and share them with policymakers and citizens” but Barnes said the work doesn’t stop there.“But then we translate them and use diverse communications channels to push them into the public bloodstream,” Barnes said. “To engage policymakers, journalists, the private sector, the public and beyond so people can take those ideas up, they can be debated. They can become policy. They can become practice. They can start to shape the way that we think, talk about, and do democracy. Hopefully the best ideas get taken to scale.” Barnes said one idea may be to offer a prize related to a specific solution. For instance, the Aspen Institute offers $1 million for community college excellence. “We are thinking that a X Prize for Democracy in partnership with others and leveraging the assets of the University and all the knowledge that’s here could be a wonderful way to bringing greater attention to some specific challenges that are facing democracy,” Barnes said. Barnes said a democratic society will always face existential challenges. She said the Institute will be set up to take a long-term view towards curating conversations.“This will be the journey and an issue for the country I think for the life of the country,” Barnes said. “We will always be engaged in these battles and these debates.”  Stay tuned. Special announcement of a continuing promo with Ting!

Paula Karsh grew up in Pittsburg and earned a Master's degree in Education. She later moved to California with her husband, who was enrolled at Stanford in their film program. She spent some time teaching and later found a job working at a film production company where Lucasfilm was one of her first clients. This later led to an opportunity to come to ILM and work on their Production Services team. Paula worked as the Head of Production Services for 27 years. She has an amazing story and insight into the needs of a visual effects and film production company. When Dennis Muren calls you in the morning and wants a dead turkey vulture to study the way the wing moves for Dragonslayer, and he needs it by that afternoon, Paula is the one who can get you what you need. Her work, and the work of countless others behind the scenes helped make possible so many of the films you love. While she never won and Oscar, her and her team's work at ILM made it all possible with their critically important work. Post ILM, Paula worked doing hospice care, and also as a volunteer firefighter. Paula is an amazing human being and it was amazing to catch up with her and hear her story.

Billionaire #1: Bruce Karsh: 3/10 on the DKMALI Joe introduces us to Bruce Karsh, a vulture investor. Vulture investors buy distressed securities from failing companies or people, and then use legal and financial advantages to increase the value of that debt. We have a long discussion about an academic article that argues vulture investing is ethical. Seems weird that someone would have to do that. In our opinion, it's generally not a good sign when you have to develop byzantine philosophical arguments to convince people that the thing you're doing to make money isn't as extremely unethical as it seems. While Karsh made his money in a pretty awful way, he otherwise hasn't done much that we could find, so he only gets a 3 on our rating scale. Billionaire #2: Bernie Marcus: 8/10 on the DKMALI Bernie Marcus was one of the founders of Home Depot. Chad doesn't say too much about Home Depot itself. Instead, he focuses on other dimensions of Marcus' life, including his self-mythologization, his political and philosophical views, and his propaganda outfit the Job Creators Network. Although Marcus has made a big name for himself in the philanthropy game, he has done even more work to lobby against social programs that might actually help with the causes to which he donates money. Marcus is a true ideologue, a free-market fundamentalist to the core.

Israel as a whole – not just Benjamin Netanyahu – faces great peril as multiple domestic destructive forces reach a crescendo, including the fragmentation of Israel's political system, “Bibi Derangement Syndrome,” the radicalization of its Arab minority, and Hamas's growing interference in its internal affairs.

Over ten years after his armies were routed in Desert Storm, the world continues to deal with, and be persistently thwarted, by the menace of Saddam Hussein. Here in this timely biography, authors Efraim Karsh and Inari Rautsi, experts on Middle East history and politics, have combined their expertise to write what is largely considered the definitive work of one of the century's most reviled and notorious figures. Drawing on a wealth of Iraqi, Arab, Western and Israeli sources, including interviews with people who have had close contact with Saddam Hussein throughout his career, the authors traces the meteoric transformation of an ardent nationalist and obscure Ba'th party member into an absolute dictator. Placing Hussein in the larger context of the ancient and modern Arab world and Iraqi history and traditions, Karsh and Rautsi examine the nature of the political system in which he thrived, a system built on blood and fear, betrayal and deceit. Skillfully interweaving a realistic analysis of Gulf politics and history, this authoritative biography is essential for understanding the mind of a modern tyrant --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/pbliving/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/pbliving/support

Ikonische Fotografien werden manchmal durch spontane Eingebung und einzigartige Persönlichkeiten geboren. Als am 30. Dezember 1941 der Kriegs-Premierminister Sir Winston Churchill auf den damals noch unbekannten Fotografen Yousuf Karsh traf war so ein Moment. Für Churchill wurde diese Aufnahme zur definierenden Charakterstudie und für Karsh war sie der wichtigste Moment seiner Karriere.

Abstract: To study the dynamics of neural processing across timescales, we require the ability to follow the spiking of thousands of individually separable neurons over weeks and months, during unrestrained behavior. To address this need, we introduce the Neuropixels 2.0 probe together with novel analysis algorithms. The new probe has over 5,000 sites and is miniaturized such that two probes plus a headstage, recording 768 sites at once, weigh just over 1 g, suitable for implanting chronically in small mammals. Recordings with high quality signals persisting for at least two months were reliably obtained in two species and six different labs. Improved site density and arrangement combined with new data processing methods enable automatic post-hoc stabilization of data despite brain movements during behavior and across days, allowing recording from the same neurons in the mouse visual cortex for over 2 months. Additionally, an optional configuration allows for recording from multiple sites per available channel, with a penalty to signal-to-noise ratio. These probes and algorithms enable stable recordings from >10,000 sites during free behavior in small animals such as mice. Copy rights belong to original authors. Visit the link for more info

In this episode, I chat with Becky Karsh, head of people development at Uber in the US and Canada, about how to navigate massive cultural shifts in the workplace. Becky's navigated several during her time at Uber. This episode was taken as a clip from our Training With Empathy event that we hosted back with empathy wines in April of 2020. And what I love about this is that Becky just gives great advice. She's candidly been leading a team through a lot of shifts from the entrance into COVID and the massive workforce change to the CEO changeover that happened a few years back. So she has some great perspective, and I think you'll learn a lot.

LAUREN KARSHLauren, a Maryland native, grew up in a small town just outside of Baltimore where she excelled academically and often found herself as the youngest one in the room. She attended Colorado State University before receiving a Graphic Design degree from The Art Institute  in Denver. She is currently working on her Masters Degree from CSU while owning her own business and being a mom of two. She knows the importance of hard work and believes we must be willing to do what it takes to follow our dreams. Just before the recession, Lauren became the Marketing Coordinator for Oakwood Homes in Denver. During the recession, the marketing department was dramatically impacted and only Lauren and her colleague remained. They learned how to do a lot with a little and became focused on building great relationships with a small budget. After a successful decade with Oakwood Homes, Lauren worked with a large publicly traded builder as well as with a large, nationally recognized marketing firm.Then Lauren experienced what she calls her “mid-life crisis” and realized the need to reprioritize the things that meant the most to her. She quit the dream job she had just been hired for and for the first time since she was thirteen, she found herself unemployed! She encourages us to listen to our inner voice (our gut) and take actionable steps to do what we hear it saying. She left this job and before she made it to her house that afternoon, she had her first four clients and started her own marketing company, Colorado Modern Communication. Lauren believes keeping your relationships with those who are most important to you, your spouse, children, family and friends is essential to having success in life. Finding our purpose and knowing what we are good at is important to living a successful life and HUMOR is a key ingredient for Lauren. If you have a dream and you want to go after it, Lauren encourages us to start talking to our network, get connected and build strategic relationships by giving to those around you. It takes time, but as you invest in your industry, community and network, they become a powerful resource for you. Lauren encourages us to take the meeting, go get coffee with people and be willing to build your network. She reminds us to be authentic in all we do.  Name: Lauren KarshCompany: Colorado Modern CommunicationEmail: lauren@coloradomoderncommunication.comInstagram: @laurenkarshCompany Website: https://coloradomoderncommunication.com/ Email Sarah at sarah@sarahfrancesmcdaniel.comLearn more at www.socialcapitalexpert.com and www.sarahfrancesmcdaniel.com

The Tipsy Panel has been quarantined! And to make matters worse, they're being held hostage!!! Lots of unfortunate events going on in this one. Our captors Lady and Mae Busch insisted we all watch Twitches, so James whipped up a pitcher of The Darkness and we got right to it. We trash talk Karsh the f**kboy, write our own spells, and discuss which DCOMs have good endings.

43 percent of women leave the traditional workforce when they have children. This podcast forgets about the leaning in or leaning out debate and talks to women about their journeys towards creating lives that include both family and career. Claudia Reuter, a former stay-at-home mom who went on to be a venture-backed CEO, speaks with authors, tech executives, doctors, entrepreneurs, stay-at-home moms and more who share their professional journeys and advice for women grappling with work-life balance. The 43 Percent is produced by Wonder Media Network.

A couple of years ago, Michael Karsh and Elizabeth Madariaga started Edios Media to help thought leaders & educators create high-quality video education. I spoke with Michael & Elizabeth in Episode 101 and I wanted to bring Michael back on the show to take a look at how his and Elizabeth's mindset and confidence level has evolved as they've worked with giant clients like Google, Facebook, Salesforce, and The Sundance Institute. Michael and I talk about the first big deal they signed, how the clients they serve today are different from what they initially expected, and how the business itself has evolved to serve those clients. The post EP 225: Finding The Confidence To Close Big Deals With Edios Media Co-Founder Michael Karsh appeared first on What Works.

In this episode, I am excited to have on Rielly Karsh to talk about reframing the conversation around politics and motherhood, and why having more moms in positions of leadership matters. Mom motivator and kid wrangler, Rielly is a former attorney, photographer, and passionate community leader. Lately, she answers to mom and councilwoman. An elected official in Clinton, NJ, where she lives with her husband and two kids, Rielly is dedicated to increasing the political engagement of moms at every level of the political landscape, helping them "run like a mother." Topics Covered Her journey running for office and why having more moms in positions of leadership matter. Why we need more moms to run for office AND serve in leadership roles on campaigns, and how to deal with the nagging feelings of self-doubt. How the process of running for office starts, and what tools Moms Running offers to women to get more moms to run for office. How we help moms and society see beyond the label "just a mom," and see value in who they are and what they do.   Find the 1-hour webinar on relaxing the thinking mind at jeenacho.com/podcastwebinar Questions?

On this week’s episode of the B&H Photography Podcast, we welcome photographer Rick McGinnis and curator Julie Grahame, to discuss blogging and archiving. While this is certainly a broad subject, we will focus on the work of our two guests while considering how best to keep your collection of photos vibrant and valuable. Rick McGinnis is a veteran portrait, editorial, and travel photographer based in Toronto. Most of his assignments and self-assignments had been for local newspapers and magazines and, when this professional landscape changed and motivation was lacking, he almost got out of the business entirely. With a little encouragement, he began to explore the many images he had shot over the previous twenty years—some he had never even viewed—despite being gorgeous portraits of well-known musicians, actors, and artists. The result of this deep dig was a blog he simply called someoldpicturesitook. The blog proved to be an avenue not only into his past, but to his future, because images never seen were now appreciated, discussed, shared, and ultimately, licensed. McGinnis is now on to a new travel blog and a new chapter in his career, and we will hear what he has learned along the way. Curator, consultant and writer, Julie Grahame is the publisher of aCurator.com, a full-screen photography magazine, and the associated aCurator blog. She directed the Retna photo agency for 16 years and currently represents the estate of Yousuf Karsh for image licensing and maintains the extensive karsh.org website. We speak with Grahame about the benefits of a blog compared to a website, Instagram, or in her case, a webzine, and we discuss her relationship with the Karsh archive and insights she has drawn from licensing his iconic portraits. Throughout the humorous conversation, we consider Google search tools, tagging, preferred blogging sites, and repurposing older work, but we also touch on the personal, professional, and historical importance of valuing and maintaining your photo collection.

In this episode, we talk with Guy Karsh who lives about 25 minutes outside of Jerusalem in Israel. He has been shoeing horses for 25 years. He shares experiences from becoming a farrier, learning from his father and other mentors, the importance of continuing education for farriers, and memorable experiences he has had while shoeing horses in Israel. This is a fascinating discussion about how the farrier business works in another country that you can learn a lot from and apply in your farrier business.

In this episode we explore the story of Yousuf Karsh who came to Canada as a teenager and pursued his dream to become an internationally renowned photographer. We are joined by Karsh expert Dr. Robert Evans and LAC photo archivist Jill Delaney. They will speak to us about who Yousuf Karsh was, what makes his photographs so unique and appealing, why he’s important to Canadians and what is included in Library and Archives Canada’s Yousuf Karsh fonds.

It takes talent to consistently be in the right place at the right time and Lois Siegel has the knack for doing just that. For example, her talent has enabled her to work with legendary Hollywood writer Joe Eszterhas. In this episode of Photo Kibitz we also chatted about her first celebrity portrait, internationally renowned portrait photographer Yousuf Karsh and how she was selected to be one of only 10 photographers to photograph the Rolling Stones' concert in Ottawa. Lois is a filmmaker, casting director, writer, professor, musician and of course a photographer. She has won a Genie award and was named one of Ottawa's top 50 people who are shaping the future of the national capital.

Early on Harry Nowell realized following his family into big business wasn’t for him. Instead he chose shooting anything that slid, moved, and rolled for stock photo agencies. Stock photography was lucrative enough for Harry, but as technology changed the way we shoot, it also changed his business model. We chatted about how he has adapted his photography business and why it is very important to pay attention to both the photography side and the business side to be successful. Today, Harry Nowell shoots assignments and is working on a fine art photography project. As a business man, he also owns and operates a gallery, a studio (which is available for rent), and teaches workshops in his studio space as well as various classes outside on-location and he offers unique on-line programs for people that find it hard to find the time for a scheduled class, but still have the urge to learn.

I would like to say Leslie Hanti's photographic work is serendipitous, but that would imply his work comes by chance or luck. While there is alway an element of luck and chance, it is also Leslie's vision, determination and persistence which allows him to capture his images. As you will hear, Leslie can spend hours, days, weeks and years waiting for all of the elements in an image to come together. Leslie's card reads "Stop-by-Stop Images", because he is almost always with camera in-hand and ready to record the world as he sees it.  Like an onion, you have to peel back the many layers to get to know Leslie Hanti. Over the last few years and I think I've only seen a small fraction of his work. Hopefully soon we will all have an opportunity to see more of his work. 

Yousuf Karsh (1908-2002) was born in Armenia in 1908. His photographer uncle, George Nakash, brought him to Canada in 1924. After apprenticing in Boston with John H. Garo, Karsh settled in Ottawa in 1932, where he began his professional career. By 1936 he was photographing visiting statesmen and dignitaries, among them President Franklin Roosevelt. His December, 1941 portrait of a bull-doggish Winston Churchill, symbolizing Britain's wartime resolve brought Karsh international attention.  Among the most widely reproduced portraits in the history of photography, ‘Churchill' was also one of the first to carry the famous "Karsh of Ottawa" copyright. I met recently with Jerry Fielder, Curator and Director of the Estate of Yousuf Karsh to talk about Karsh and the books that contain his works.    

David Travis, former Chair and Curator of the Department of Photography at the Art Institute of Chicago, discusses why Yousuf Karsh may be the last of his kind. Travis examines the unique factors in Karsh's own personal background, traditional training, inventive techniques, and attitude toward heroes and hero-worship. Presented as a part of the symposium "Yousuf Karsh and the Art of Photographic Portraiture." This podcast is brought to you by the Ancient Art Podcast. Explore more at ancientartpodcast.org.

Jerry Fielder, Director and Curator of the Estate of Yousuf Karsh, discusses his personal, twenty-five year association with Karsh, reviewing his history, his family, the influence of his mentors, the development of his style, and Fielder's 30 years of working with him and his photographs.
