title: The Bitter Ash

abstract: The Bitter Ash is a Canadian drama film, directed by Larry Kent and released in 1963. One of the first narrative feature films ever shot in Vancouver, the film stars Alan Scarfe as Des, an unhappy blue collar man who is drawn into the city's counterculture underground, where he clashes with bohemian intellectual Colin over the affections of Colin's wife Laurie. The film was controversial at the time because it depicted sexual activity, brief nudity, profanity and drug use. Unable to secure commercial distribution, Kent exhibited the film by personally undertaking a cross-Canada tour to screen it on university campuses. The film has often been characterized by critics as an exploitation film, but Kent himself disputed this characterization on the grounds that it didn't have enough sex in it. The Globe and Mail also later wrote that "the story of the collision of bohemian and working-class values in provincial, precountercultural Vancouver, today seems less striking for its formerly transgressive content - sex, extramarital pregnancy, pot-smoking and nudity - than for its fiercely expressed attitude of utter socioeconomic despair."

***The Bitter Ash*** is a Canadian drama film, directed by Larry Kent and released in 1963. One of the first narrative feature films ever shot in Vancouver, the film stars Alan Scarfe as Des, an unhappy blue collar man who is drawn into the city's counterculture underground, where he clashes with bohemian intellectual Colin (Philip Brown) over the affections of Colin's wife Laurie (Lynn Stewart).

The film was controversial at the time because it depicted sexual activity, brief nudity, profanity and drug use. Unable to secure commercial distribution, Kent exhibited the film by personally undertaking a cross-Canada tour to screen it on university campuses. The film has often been characterized by critics as an exploitation film, but Kent himself disputed this characterization on the grounds that it didn't have enough sex in it. *The Globe and Mail* also later wrote that "the story of the collision of bohemian and working-class values in provincial, precountercultural Vancouver, today seems less striking for its formerly transgressive content - sex, extramarital pregnancy, pot-smoking and nudity - than for its fiercely expressed attitude of utter socioeconomic despair."

## Production

Kent made the film while he was a student at the University of British Columbia, and the film was acted primarily by university drama students rather than professional actors. The film was in production from June to August 1963, at a cost of $5,000 (equivalent to $48,789 in 2023).

## Release

The film was shown at the University of British Columbia in October 1963, and made its budget back after two weeks of screenings. The film later received screenings at the 1984 Toronto International Film Festival in the Front & Centre program, and at the 2012 Toronto International Film Festival in the Cinemathèque program. It was also part of a retrospective screening of Kent's films, alongside *Sweet Substitute*, *When Tomorrow Dies* and *High*, which screened at a number of venues in 2002 and 2003, including Cinematheque Ontario in Toronto, the Pacific Cinémathèque in Vancouver and the Canadian Film Institute in Ottawa.

# The Argument (With Annotations)

***The Argument (With Annotations)*** is a 2017 Canadian-British short experimental drama film written, directed, and edited by video artist Daniel Cockburn. The short's first half attempts to deceive the audience into thinking it is a non-fictional video essay, revealing itself mid-way to be a work of fiction, the essay actually the work of the film's protagonist, an elderly professor (Clare Coulter). Submitted as Cockburn's thesis for the degree of Master of Fine Arts in Film studies at York University, the film had its world premiere at the 42nd Toronto International Film Festival, and has been warmly received by critics.

## Synopsis

The film begins with an "appropriated-footage essay" about metaphor and the suspension of disbelief, the unseen narrator's line of thought taking the audience "on a jagged path" past the works of T. S. Eliot, Groucho Marx, John Carpenter, and Terence Davies, featuring clips from numerous films ranging from *The Shining* to *300*. when "something else" happens: the film is actually a work of fiction. The "argument" made in the first half's video essay is by the film's female protagonist, a septuagenarian professor.

The film's second half follows the professor's own life, her daily routine: doing errands, having dinner with her husband, all the while, she is unable to stop thinking about her essay. Written notes appear on screen as she begins to refine her theories and question the accuracy of some of the points she has made.

> I like to say "it's a video essay about how metaphor might operate in moving images compared to in language... until it becomes something else." If pressed, I say "and then it suddenly turns into a short film about a woman who has a shitty dinner date with her husband."

Daniel Cockburn

## Cast

## Themes, analysis, and interpretations

Michael Sicinski recognizes the first half of the film as the type of "theory film" as produced in the 1970s, in the "heyday" of journals like *Screen* and *Ciné-tracts*. Calum Marsh observes that the film applies lofty Wittgensteinian language games to metaphors in cinema and television, and then "it pivots sharply, and becomes instead a character study of a college lecturer with a lot on her mind", an effect "common to all of Cockburn's work: ever restless, he aspires principally to challenge and surprise." Sicinski suggests the film "shares traces" in particular with the filmmaker's 2010 feature, *You Are Here.* C. J. Prince agrees, but is more explicit:

> Toying with cinema, language, and time, the first half essentially functions as a video essay laying out the professor's argument. The film's second half is almost the inverse, turning the camera on the professor's own life, which seems to lack any sort of meaning or metaphor whatsoever. Cockburn's film, much like *You Are Here*, revels in ambiguity; bringing up questions with no answers, it creates a space where various ideas bounce around freely.

The audience, "thinking they are watching an appropriated-footage piece, has the rug pulled out from underneath them when they find that they are watching a fiction film". The now "hybrid" film makes further demands through the inclusion of the onscreen annotations: they may be interpreted as the professor's running internal monologue or as her written notes (aide-mémoire), among other possibilities, but regardless, they require "multiple viewings just to decipher it all."

The short explores the intersection between research and creativity in a way which calls into question its own narrator's authority. The professor questions her own argument, thereby parodically and poetically disrupting her own academic discourse. Questioning the authority of philosophical discourse, the film examines and repositions philosophical sites of activity, foregrounding the esoteric linguistic conventions of exclusivity. Jamie Dunn suggests that while the film is a "sly critique on the nature of using film images out of context" to prove an intellectual point, it is also a subtle examination of memory and ageing. Similarly, Sicinski notes that the film also "subtly examines social mobility, the frailty of the body and mind, and the written note as an aide memoire against the fallibility of aging memory".

## Production

### Background

After graduating from York University with a degree in film studies in 1999, Cockburn discovered the experimental film community in Toronto and beyond, and spent a decade making short films which were "experimental, but which always had a strong narrative bent." Cockburn completed his first feature, *You Are Here* (2010), the success of which led to brief stints overseas as an artist-in-residence and a guest professor. Cockburn returned to York University to begin working towards his Master of Fine Arts degree in 2014, making the short films *Sculpting Memory* (2015) and *The Argument (With Annotations)*, the latter also being submitted as his master's thesis. The same year (2017), Cockburn had begun an artist-in-residency and a research fellowship at the Queen Mary University of London's School of Languages, Linguistics and Film in its pilot year. The short is considered a Canadian-British co-production.

### Writing and filming

Cockburn originally conceived of the project as a "lecture-performance," like *All the Mistakes I've Made*:

> As I worked on it I realized I'd prefer to make it a short film, and to cast someone else in the speaking role. Because it is essentially two films back-to-back, I needed to give the first one time to develop, for the audience to sink into it; then I needed the second half to be of a pretty similar duration.

As the edit progressed, "get it under 20" became Cockburn's goal, "in the back of my mind — mainly psychological": 19 minutes felt like a lot less than 20 minutes, "the way 99 cents feels way less than a dollar"; he was also aware of "not wanting to scare off festival programmers."

## Release and reception

*The Argument (With Annotations)* premiered at the 42nd Toronto International Film Festival, as the first film in the Short Cuts Programme, on 8 September 2017. Two months later, it was screened at a sold-out show at Depth of Field, a semi-annual event showcasing recent York University CMA graduate thesis films in November, at the Art Gallery of Ontario. The short was selected for the 2017 Canada's Top Ten minifestival and screened on 14 January 2018, along with a Canadian Open Vault free screening of Cockburn's 2010 feature film, *You Are Here*.

The short had its American premiere at the Museum of the Moving Image in Astoria, New York, the First Look Festival, on 15 January 2018, where it was misleadingly billed as a "free-associative interrogation and exemplification of metaphors and their meaning", in an attempt to avoid spoiling the film for the audience.

The European premiere took place on 5 May 2018 at the Tower Mill Cinema in Hawick as a double-bill with *The Rare Event*, an experimental docufiction film by Ben Rivers and Ben Russell, at the Alchemy Film & Moving Image Festival. The two films played together in the UK and Ireland.

### Critical response

Norman Wilner, writing for *Now Toronto*, describes *The Argument (With Annotations)* as a "dry" film "which elegantly knits the semiotics of cinema into an understated relationship drama about an academic ... who realizes that her partner ... is kind of a tool." (Cockburn's response to this characterization of the husband was: "Nailed it.") Jason Anderson is quoted as calling the film an "astounding feat of cerebral and cinephilic dexterity" at the Toronto festival. Courtney Small calls it "a smart, witty, and at times dizzying, exploration into language and cinema", and a "stirring look at how we interpret words and how easily we accept things not actually said." Andrew Parker calls the short a "witty blending of semantics and melodrama": "Not only a discussion about the use of metaphor in a literary and cinematic sense, Cockburn has also created a short that's dripping with visual metaphor in its own right, building to a sumptuous, layered film." In Sicinski's review, he suggests that calling it a "theory film" would risk relegating it to the "circular file", and then adds: "Nevertheless, the film is so fitfully alive that we could probably count on it to crawl back out under its own power."

Jamie Dunn calls the transition from what the film appears to be, "a smug essay film splicing together scenes from a myriad of familiar works" which makes "some very spurious arguments about the nature of metaphor in cinema", into "an indie drama", something "wonderful":

> Just when you think your eyes can't roll any further back into your head something wonderful happens, and we start to follow the woman, a septuagenarian professor, who's made this essay film. Now taking the form of an indie drama, we're with the filmmaker on her daily routine... Written notes appear on screen as the filmmaker begins to refine her theories and question the accuracy of some of the points she has made... After seeing *The Argument*, we kind of wish all essay films had a similar second half, with the likes of Adam Curtis and Jean-Luc Godard forced to reassess their intellectual leaps.

One reviewer calls the film "offbeat and quirky" and a "thinking-person's flick" consisting of "rambling philosophy and wordplay", the area in which Cockburn "excels", since he brings self-awareness to the academic's self-indulgence: "It's amusing and thought provoking if one has the taste for it, otherwise, *The Argument* might feel like film class mumbo jumbo."

### Accolades

The film was also nominated for the Short Cuts Award for Best Canadian Short Film, but lost to *Pre-Drink*.

title: Malcolm's Ethiopian toad

abstract: Malcolm's Ethiopian toad or the Ethiopian mountain toad is a species of toad in the family Bufonidae endemic to the Bale Mountains of Ethiopia. Its natural habitats are Astropanax–Hagenia–Hypericum montane forests and Afro-alpine moorland, and the transition zone in between. It is threatened by habitat loss and is listed by the IUCN as being an "endangered species".

# Malcolm's Ethiopian toad

**Malcolm's Ethiopian toad** or the **Ethiopian mountain toad** (***Altiphrynoides malcolmi***) is a species of toad in the family Bufonidae endemic to the Bale Mountains of Ethiopia. Its natural habitats are *Astropanax**Hagenia**Hypericum* montane forests and Afro-alpine moorland, and the transition zone in between. It is threatened by habitat loss and is listed by the IUCN as being an "endangered species".

## Description

Malcolm's Ethiopian toad is a small robust species. The females reach a snout-to-vent length of 32 mm (1.3 in) and males reach 21 mm (0.8 in) in length. The head is broad and the upper jaw is longer than the lower one. The paratoid gland is some way behind the eye and is short and narrow. The colour of the upper parts is quite variable with different individuals being greenish-grey, grey, greyish-brown or black. There are dark spots arranged along three longitudinal bands of paler colour, pink, dull red or green. The flanks are grey or greyish-black and may be delineated by a thin white line. The underparts are cream or dull white with darker spots and blotches.

## Distribution

Malcolm's Ethiopian toad is endemic to the Bale Mountains of Ethiopia where it is found at elevations of between 3,200 and 4,000 metres (10,500 and 13,100 ft) above sea level. At lower elevations it is found in grassy meadows besides streams but higher up on the mountain plateau it is present in forests composed of *Astropanax*, *Hagenia* and *Hypericum* and also on afromontane moorlands.

## Biology

Malcolm's Ethiopian toad has what is believed to be a unique pattern of development. Males advertise their presence with calls that are only audible within a few meters. Both males and females wander through wet grasses near streams and pools until they meet, after which the male calls more intensely. Other males congregate at the site and there is great competition to mate with the female. Fertilization is internal and takes place after the successful couple engage in face-to-face amplexus. The female produces about twenty large eggs enclosed in a mucus layer while still in amplexus. These are deposited in the vegetation or occasionally under logs or in leaf litter. The female then departs the scene but the males remain and attract more females by their calling. These lay their eggs at the same site and the communal egg mass may originate from as many as twenty females. The males eventually disperse when no more females arrive. There is no more parental involvement and the eggs develop into non-feeding tadpoles which rely on the large yolk-sac in the egg. In the laboratory eggs have hatched after eleven days but in the field, at a lower temperature, this is likely to take longer. By the time they hatch, the tadpoles have started reabsorbing their tails but metamorphosis is completed after hatching.

## Status

Although Malcolm's Ethiopian toad is common in some localities within its range, the population trend is believed to be downward. The main threats faced by this toad are the degradation of its habitat through timber extraction, increased grazing of cattle and the development of settlements, although part of its range is within the Bale Mountains National Park which should offer some protection from human activities. The fungus causing chytridiomycosis is present in the Ethiopian highlands and has been found to occur in this species. For these reasons, the International Union for Conservation of Nature has listed this toad as being an "endangered species".

# FK Iskra Danilovgrad

**Fudbalski klub Iskra** (English: Football Club Iskra) is a Montenegrin professional football club based in Danilovgrad. They currently compete in the Montenegrin Second League.

## History

FK Iskra was founded in 1919, under the name *RSK Sloga Danilovgrad*. Since 1929, the team played under the name *RSK Zmaj*, with their first-ever performance in Montenegrin Football Championship on season 1933–34.
After World War II, the team started to play under the name FK Iskra. First significant success, FK Iskra made with promotion to Montenegrin Republic League 1948–49. Another historical success, FK Iskra made in summer 1956. After playoff games against FK Bokelj, the team from Danilovgrad gained their first-ever promotion to the Yugoslav Second League (1956–57), but finished as a last-placed team. Next year, the team was dissolved after the financial troubles, but was refounded in 1959.
On season 1969–70, FK Iskra won the champion title in the Montenegrin Republic League and gained new promotion to Yugoslav Second League. This time, they spent two seasons in the Second League, among some of well-known national sides such as FK Budućnost, FK Sutjeska or NK GOŠK. On 28 November 1971, FK Iskra made a historical win against neighbouring Podgorica's and Montenegrin strongest side FK Budućnost (1–0).
Until the mid-1990s, FK Iskra played only in the third and fourth division, without significant successes. On season 1993–94, FK Iskra made huge successes, with the 'double' on Republic level. The team from Danilovgrad became a champion of the Montenegrin Republic League and, for the first time in history, title of Montenegrin Republic Cup winner. That gained them promotion to the 1994-95 Yugoslav Second League and the very first performance in the Yugoslav Cup. After poor performance, FK Iskra finished 19th in the Second League, so were relegated to the third-tier competition. In the 1994–95 FR Yugoslavia Cup, FK Iskra made surprise in the first leg, with a victory against First league member FK Sloboda (2:0). But, in the Round of 16, FK Iskra were eliminated by Yugoslav title-holder FK Partizan (0–3; 0–10). During the next period, FK Iskra played between Yugoslav Second League and Montenegrin League. In the second tier, the team from Danilovgrad participated in season 1996–97, and from 2000 to 2003.
Following Montenegrin independence (2006), FK Iskra played in Second and Third League, but first notable successes came after 2013. On season 2013–14, FK Iskra won the champion title in the Third League. Next year, after the hard struggle with FK Dečić, FK Iskra became the champion of the Second League. With that result, FK Iskra gained their historical, first-ever promotion to the Montenegrin First League.
On their debut in the First League (season 2015-16), FK Iskra finished at 10th position, but remained a member of top-tier after the playoffs against FK Bratstvo (6–0; 2-2).
Next three seasons, FK Iskra finished in the middle of the table and notable success came on season 2019-20. Team from Danilovgrad finished third and gained their first-ever performances in European competitions. During the season, FK Iskra made numerous impressive results, including the big victory against title-holder FK Budućnost (4–1). After that success, the team qualified for 2020–21 UEFA Europa League.

# The Block season 11

The eleventh season of Australian reality television series *The Block* premiered on 6 September 2015 on the Nine Network. Scott Cam (host) and Shelley Craft (Challenge Master) return from the previous season, as did the three judges: Neale Whitaker, Shaynna Blaze and Darren Palmer. The first preview was shown on August 4, 2015. This season was also known by the name ***The Block: Blocktagon***, but was the first since the second season to not include the season title on-screen.

## Production

Nine renewed *The Block* for an eleventh season in April 2015, with production commencing in May 2015. The season was announced as going 'back-to-basics' after ratings declines during the tenth season, seeing episodes cut from 90 to 60 minutes, fewer episodes, the eliminations will be removed and Thursday night episodes dropped.

This former hotel is located at 5 Commercial Road in South Yarrow.

Filming for the eleventh began on 15 May 2015. The season renovated the former Hotel Saville in South Yarra - an octagonal, eight floor brick building.

Co-creator Julian Cress said that this season of *The Block* will have no tradies and only passionate do-it-yourself couples, in other seasons of *The Block*, at least one person in each team has a trade. The change comes in the new direction in the back-to-basics change to the season, he said viewers will relate more to the characters who are big on spirit but small on skills when the show returns later this year.

The Blocktagon building is now listed in the international list of Octagonal Buildings & Structures.

## Contestants

*The Block: Blocktagon* is the third season to have five couples instead of the traditional four couples.

## Controversy

On 10 November 2015, it was reported that contestant Suzi Taylor had collapsed on set, a Nine Network spokeswoman Victoria Buchan said: "Suzi was suffering from exhaustion after a busy day with The Block open for inspections.", but on 12 November 2015, Ms Taylor had a photo captured of her naked on a boat after oaks day in Melbourne, it had then been reported that her collapse was caused by "non-stop partying" throughout the Spring Racing Carnival and not exhaustion, due to this Ms Taylor was "canned" by Nine with all her promotional commitments being cut off until after the auction.

Ms Taylor has since been threatened to lose her payout of $174,500 after ignoring the terms her contract which states she shall not undertake any media interviews without the program's consent until her contract with Channel Nine is up.

title: Malayala Rajyam

abstract: Malayala Rajyam was a Malayalam-language newspaper founded by K. G. Shankar in 1929 in Quilon, Travancore. Its main aim was to support the Indian independence movement and the activities of Indian National Congress. It became a daily in 1931 and was amongst the earliest daily morning newspapers in Kerala. The newspaper featured despatches from the Associated Press of India and Reuters as well as news pictures fed by international photo agencies. It had modern printing equipment and even operated a bus service to distribute the copies to agents on time. The news agency Keralapress was established in 1930 in Madras and served as a mail service giving news about Malayali activities in Madras to Malayala Rajyam. Malayala Rayam was one of the largest circulated newspapers in southern Kerala during the 1930s and was particularly popular among the Nair community of Kerala. A weekly was also published, also named Malayala Rajyam. The newspaper fell on bad days after Shankar relinquished control due to a prolonged illness. It became a pro-government newspaper after K. G.

# The Christmas Chronicles 2

***The Christmas Chronicles 2*** (titled onscreen as ***The Christmas Chronicles Part Two***) is a 2020 American Christmas comedy film directed and produced by Chris Columbus, who wrote the screenplay with Matt Lieberman. A sequel to the 2018 film *The Christmas Chronicles*, it features Kurt Russell reprising his role as Santa Claus. Also reprising their roles are Goldie Hawn, Darby Camp, Judah Lewis, and Kimberly Williams-Paisley, with new cast members Julian Dennison, Jahzir Bruno, Tyrese Gibson, Sunny Suljic, Darlene Love, and Malcolm McDowell. The film had a limited theatrical release before moving to Netflix on November 25, 2020.

## Plot

Two years after the events of the first film, Kate Pierce is a cynical 13 year old, unhappy about spending Christmas in Cancún, Mexico with her mother Claire, her brother Teddy, Claire's new boyfriend Bob Booker, and his son Jack. Wanting to be back home where it is snowing, Kate tries to secretly fly back early to Boston. Unbeknownst to her and their stowaway Jack, the shuttle is driven by Belsnickel, a nefarious Christmas elf, who sends them unepectedly through a wormhole to the North Pole.

Kate and Jack are found and saved by Santa Claus, who brings them back to his and Mrs. Claus's house. The Clauses give them a grand tour of their village, then dinner. Jack and Kate go to bed as Belsnickel and his follower Speck attempt to destroy the village.

Mrs. Claus tells the kids the origin story of Santa in Turkey, how he saved the elves from extinction, and received the Star of Bethlehem, a magical artifact that stops time in and provides power to Santa's Village. The Clauses adopted Belsnickel, but as he grew up and they had less time for him, he became unruly, transforming him into a human as a curse, so he ran away.

Belsnickel releases the yule cat Jola into the reindeer pen, injuring Dasher. He then releases a potion into the village that makes the elves go insane and steals the Star of Bethlehem from the top of the Christmas tree.

Santa and the others confront Belsnickel. The two struggle over the star, and it is accidentally destroyed, causing the power to go out in the village. So Santa and Kate leave for Turkey to get the forest elves, led by Hakan, to build a new one.

The maddened elves start a snowball fight that allows Jack to escape. He leaves to get a root to cure them while Mrs. Claus stays behind to heal Dasher. Meanwhile, Kate and Santa successfully find the elves and Hakan who give them a casing for a new star and Santa captures the power of the Star of Bethlehem inside it.

While flying back to the village, Belsnickel catches up to them on a sleigh pulled by jackalotes (a hybrid of a jackal and a coyote which he created). He steals the star to stop himself from aging until he can figure out how to replace Santa, and transports them back to 1990 Boston via a time-travel device he planted on Santa's sleigh.

Jack finds the root and brings it back to Mrs Claus. Kate attempts to buy AAA batteries for Belsnickel's time travel device at Boston airport so she and Santa can return to the future. However, she is detained by airport security as the bill has the modern redesign so seems counterfeit.

Kate is taken to a locked lost kids security room. When she laments about her wrongdoings in Cancun, another kid named Doug Pierce comforts her and helps her escape. After Kate joins Santa, she realizes Doug is her late father. With help from airport worker Grace, Santa gets everybody singing a Christmas song so the weather clears. With Christmas spirit high enough for the sleigh to fly, he puts in the batteries and they transport back and recover the star.

Mrs. Claus makes the root into a powder, which Jack manages to load into the snow cannons. He shoots it onto the elves, curing them. Santa and Kate race back to the village evading Belsnickel as he chases them.

Mrs. Claus throws an explosive gingerbread cookie between the sleighs before they can collide in a game of chicken. Dasher recovers and assists Santa in defeating Jola, who is hurled out of the village. Kate places the star on top of the tree, restoring power to the village. Santa gives Belsnickel the first toy that they built together, they reconcile and he is transformed back into an elf.

Santa flies Kate and Jack back to Cancún where they tell an excited Teddy about their adventure. Kate also becomes more accepting of Bob. At the end, Kate, her Mom, and Teddy, along with Bob and Jack sing "O' Christmas Tree" as Santa, Mrs. Claus, Belsnickel, and everyone in the North Pole also sing it.
