Offense Powers Cal On Opening Day

Defending Champs Start 2-For-2

SAN DIEGO – The No. 2 California men's water polo team put on an offensive clinic on the first day of the 2024 season, claiming a pair of wins over No. 6 UC Irvine, 20-14 and Claremont, 19-8 at the Triton Invitational.

With the departures of nine seniors from last year – including Paris Olympians Nikolaos Papanikolaou and Adrian Weinberg – the three-time defending NCAA champion Golden Bears headed into the year knowing there would be new opportunities on both sides of the ball, and that was reflected in the opening-day box scores.

Seniors Roberto Valera and Max Casabella picked up right where they left off in 2023, leading the way with seven and five goals on the day, respectively. Against the Anteaters, fellow ACWPC All-American Albert Ponferrada had a huge game with three goals and six assists, while George Avakian dominated in center with three goals and seven earned exclusions.

In the Bears' first game of the day, they cruised to a double-digit victory over CMS behind four goals from Valera and three by Casabella. Cal took a 5-1 first-quarter lead and outscored CMS 10-3 in the second half. Maddox Arlett, Patrik Kolak, Alex Oprea and Bende Pardi all secured braces in their Cal debuts.

Taking on its first ranked opponent of the year in the evening, Cal found itself trailing 10-8 at the half. The Bears turned things on right out of the break, as Ponferrada converted a power play and then found Avakian for an equalizer less than two minutes into the third. Ponferrada added two more assists before the quarter's end and Casabella scored twice to put the Bears up 13-12 heading into the fourth.

It was all Cal from there. The Bears started the final frame with an onslaught, getting a pair of quick goals from Valera and another two from Pardi and Arlett to go up 17-12 with 5:04 to go. Cal ended up outsourcing UCI 7-2 in the quarter after two late goals from senior Jake Howerton put the game to bed. Redshirt freshman goalkeeper Riley Clansen – who played every minute in goal on Saturday – finished the game with seven saves.

[bitter69uk]

“The American ideal, then, of sexuality, appears to be rooted in the American ideal of masculinity. This ideal has created cowboys and Indians, good guys and bad guys, punks and studs, tough guys and softies, butch and faggot, black and white. It is an ideal so paralytically infantile that it is virtually forbidden – as an unpatriotic act – that the American boy evolve into the complexity of manhood.”

This quote by James Baldwin is the first thing you see when you enter the Masculinities exhibit at The Barbican, which I just got back from. (This cultural excursion pretty much represented my first time properly venturing out and taking public transport to get somewhere non-local in over four months! It felt like a surprisingly anxiety-inducing big deal!). The exhibit is a provocative wide-ranging, multimedia exploration into conceptions of “maleness” from the sixties to the present day, featuring works by the likes of Catherine Opie, Laurie Anderson, Peter Hujar, Isaac Julien, Andy Warhol and David Wojnarowicz. My favourite room featured luscious 1960s portraits by Swiss outsider photographer Karlheinz Weinberger (1921 - 2006) of sullen leather-clad bikers posed like defiant peacocks, while in the corner, Kenneth Anger’s fetishistic and homoerotic 1965 short film Kustom Kar Kommandos (with its soundtrack of The Paris Sisters cooing “Dream Lover”) played on a continuous loop. Had I died and gone to heaven? Meanwhile, Adrian Street’s 31-minute documentary So Many Ways to Hurt You (2010) about the life and times of campy bleached-blond “glam rock” Welsh wrestler Adrian Street was so fascinating and absorbing I wanted to pull up a chair and watch it in its entirety. (I found it online once I got home!). 

Let’s face it: the puritanical, hypocritical and homophobic hellsite Tumblr has become a dying platform since it banned adult content in December 2018. I post here less and less. Follow me instead on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook or on my blog. Fuck Tumblr!

[Lançamentos] Abril 2019

Mês passado não teve pois fiquei dodói, mas esse mês com tanta coisa boa não tem como deixar passar em branco não é mesmo? Abril tem muita coisa boa, muita variedade e Deus nos abençoe junto com nosso bolso pra poder bancar tantas sessões rs Bora conferir os lançamentos desse mês então...

PARA ASSISTIR AOS TRAILERS CLIQUEM NO TÍTULO DO FILME!

DATA DE LANÇAMENTO 04/03

DUAS RAINHAS

Quem estava com saudade das queridinhas que há alguns meses estavam sob os holofotes da mídia em seus trabalhos que deram o que falar? Estou falando de Saoirse Ronan que brilhou em “Lady Bird - A Hora de Voar (2017)” e Margot Robbie de “Esquadrão Suicida 2016)”.

Mary (Saoirse Ronan), ainda criança, foi prometida ao filho mais velho do rei Henrique II, Francis, e então foi levada para França. Mas logo Francis morre e Mary volta para a Escócia, na tentativa de derrubar sua prima Elizabeth I (Margot Robbie), a Rainha da Inglaterra.

MUSSUM, UM FILME DO CACILDES

Quem ai gostava de “Os Trapalhões”? Então se você é um desses fãs da turma, irá lembrar de um dos personagens mais queridos, o Mussum, que agora terá sua história contada nas telonas.

A trajetória do humorista e sambista Antônio Carlos Bernado Gomes, o "Mussum", é contada de diferentes ângulos. São reveladas facetas mais sérias da figura que foi eternizada no imaginário popular brasileiro por sua participação no programa "Os Trapalhões". Por trás de sua persona humorística e debochada, Antônio Carlos mantinha uma rotina de responsabilidades com sua família, projetos e compromissos. A sinopse oficial ainda não foi divulgada.

SHAZAM!

E continuando os lançamentos dos filmes de heróis do ano, temos mais um da DC Comics que inclusive é de grande espera dos fãs do gênero. Eu não pretendo conferir nos cinemas, mas confere ai a história:

Billy Batson (Asher Angel) tem apenas 14 anos de idade, mas recebeu de um antigo mago o dom de se transformar num super-herói adulto chamado Shazam (Zachary Levi). Ao gritar a palavra SHAZAM!, o adolescente se transforma nessa sua poderosa versão adulta para se divertir e testar suas habilidades. Contudo, ele precisa aprender a controlar seus poderes para enfrentar o malvado Dr. Thaddeus Sivana (Mark Strong).

UM FUNERAL EM FAMÍLIA

Vocês sabem que eu adoro indicar essas comédias com atores negros como era febre nos anos 90/2000 e que agora tem ganhado força novamente em alguns países, essa por exemplo tem cara de que vai arrancar boas risadas de quem for conferir nos cinemas.

Madea (Tyler Perry) e seus companheiros achavam que estavam indo para uma reunião de família como outra qualquer. Porém, tudo se transforma em um pesadelo quando de repente eles precisam planejar um funeral no meio de sua viagem a Georgia.

DATA DE LANÇAMENTO 11/03

AFTER

Estavam com saudades de filmes adaptados de livros? Então se é fã dessas sagas a próxima que promete ter o mesmo público de “50 Tons de Cinza(2015)” e de “Crepúsculo (2008)”.

Baseado no romance de Anna Todd, o filme retrata a jornada de Tessa Young (Josephine Langford), uma jovem de 18 anos com uma vida simples: ótimas notas na escola, muitos amigos e um namorado doce. Todos os próximos passos de sua vida já estão planejados, mas as coisas desandam quando ela conhece um homem rebelde e rude com segredos sombrios que mudam sua vida.

Bem familiar a história né? cabe a nós decidir se esse cliché será bom ou não, eu to ansioso pra conferir mesmo não sendo fã do gênero.

AYKA

Agora é a vez dos filmes mais alternativos e que está fora dos costumes de quem adora um catálogo do puro. Olha a história que interessante:

Ayka (Samal Yeslyamova) é uma jovem de origem cazaque, que vive ilegalmente em Moscou. Ela dá à luz num hospital local, mas abandona o seu filho por medo de ser descoberta e deportada. Logo depois, ela enfrenta as complicações pós-parto, a fome, a solidão, a falta de emprego e a perseguição da máfia local, a quem deve dinheiro. Um dia, os mafiosos exigem que Ayka volte ao hospital, recupere o bebê e entregue a eles.

DE PERNAS PRO AR 3 

O sucesso da franquia Sex Delícia faz com que Alice (Ingrid Guimarães) rode o mundo, visitando os mais diversos países em uma correria interminável. Sem tempo para se dedicar à família, quem assume a casa é seu marido João (Bruno Garcia), que cuida dos filhos Paulinho (Eduardo Mello) e Clarinha (Duda Batista), de apenas seis anos. Cansada de tanta agitação, Alice decide se aposentar e entregar o comando dos negócios à sua mãe, Marion (Denise Weinberg). Porém, o surgimento de Leona (Samya Pascotto), uma jovem competidora, faz com que mude seus planos

Então se você está com saudades desse que é o maior gênero nacional, ou seja, que mais vende e claro, saudades das loucuras sensuais da Alice, não pode perder a terceira e última parte dessa franquia de sucesso nacional.

SUSPÍRIA - A DANÇA DO MEDO

Susie Bannion (Dakota Johnson), uma jovem bailarina americana, vai para a prestigiada Markos Tanz Company, em Berlim. Ela chega assim que Patricia (Chloë Grace Moretz) desaparece misteriosamente. Tendo um progresso extraordinário, com a orientação de Madame Blanc (Tilda Swinton), Susie acaba fazendo amizade com outra dançarina, Sara (Mia Goth), que compartilha com ela todas suas suspeitas obscuras e ameaçadoras.

DATA DE LANÇAMENTO 18/03

A MALDIÇÃO DA CHORONA

Gente este mês está recheado de filmes de suspense/terror né? Então quem é fã do gênero nem tem como reclamar. E outra grande opção que tem sido esperada por milhares de fãs da lenda é “A Maldição de Chorona”.

Na Los Angeles da década de 1970, uma assistente social criando seus dois filhos sozinha depois de ser deixada viúva começa a ver semelhanças entre um caso que está investigando e a entidade sobrenatural La Llorona. A lenda conta que, em vida, La Llorona afogou seus filhos e depois se jogou no rio, se debulhando em lágrimas. Agora ela chora eternamente, capturando outras crianças para substituir os filhos.

CHUVA É CANTORIA NA ALDEIA DOS MORTOS 

E teremos um filme com a temática indígena olha que bacana! Acho importante ter dentro do cronograma dos grandes cinemas até mesmo os alternativos, filmes que abordam uma cultura tão importante como esta, e sendo uma colaboração do Brasil com Portugal, vale o confere em...

Ihjãc é um jovem do povo Krahô, aldeia indígena localizada em Pedra Branca, no interior do Brasil. Depois de ser surpreendido pela visita do espírito de seu falecido pai, ele se sente na obrigação de organizar uma festa de fim de luto, comemoração tradicional da comunidade. 

CÓPIAS - DE VOLTA À VIDA

Keanu Reeves que está muito em alta por conta do sucesso da franquia da qual ele protagoniza que inclusive terá sua terceira parte nos cinemas ainda este ano “ John Wick: Parabellum”, tem um novo filme agora de ficção científica para nos trazer mais ação. Se você foi fã de “O Confronto (2001)”

Depois de um grave acidente de trânsito que matou toda a sua família, um neurocientista (Keanu Reeves) sente que perdeu o sentido da vida. Utilizando seu meio de trabalho, ele se torna obcecado em trazê-los de volta, mesmo que isso signifique desafiar boa parte do governo e, principalmente, as leis da física.

O GÊNIO E O LOUCO 

Outra saudade para se matar este mês é do excelente ator Mel Gibson que no seu novo filme, conta a história real de dois homens ambiciosos que tentam concluir um dos maiores projetos do mundo: a criação do Dicionário Oxford. Um deles é o Professor James Murray (Mel Gibson), que tomou a decisão de iniciar o compilado, em 1857, e o outro é Doutor W.C. Minor (Sean Penn), que contribuiu com mais de 10.000 verbetes para o dicionário estando internado em um hospício para criminosos. Os dois têm suas vidas ligadas pela loucura, genialidade e obsessão.

O MAU EXEMPLO DE CAMERON POST

Chloe Grace Moretz que é uma excelente atriz e sou muito fã inclusive, está chegando com seu mais novo e polêmico trabalho. Dessa vez sem poderes sobrenaturais como em “Carrie - A Estranha (2013)” e sem ser atacada por aliens como em “A 5° Onda (2016)”.

Flagrada pelo namorado transando com a melhor amiga em pleno baile de formatura, Cameron Post (Chloe Grace Moretz) é enviada pela tia para um centro religioso que afirma curar jovens atraídos pelo mesmo sexo, mas para se submeter ou não ao suposto tratamento, a adolescente precisa antes descobrir quem é de fato.

Então temos neste mês um filme polêmico com a temática LGBTQ+ e esperamos que não tenha o mesmo fim que “BoyErased (2019)” que foi retirado do calendário dos cinemas nacionais, com suspeita de boicote por conta do atual cenário político que vivemos aqui.

DATA DE LANÇAMENTO 25/03

A ÁRVORE DOS FRUTOS SELVAGENS

Sinan (Doğu Demirkol) é um jovem apaixonado por literatura que sempre sonhou em se tornar um grande escritor. Ao retornar para o vilarejo em que nasceu, ele faz de tudo para conseguir juntar dinheiro e investir na sua primeira publicação. O problema é que seu pai deixou uma dívida que atrapalhará os seus planos.

O ANO DE 1985

Inspirado pelo curta-metragem premiado de mesmo nome, "1985" segue Adrian (Cory Michael Smith), um jovem que vai passar o natal com a família  em sua antiga cidade no Texas durante a primeira onda de crise da AIDS. Sobrecarregado após uma tragédia indescritível em Nova York, Adrian se reconecta com seu irmão (Aidan Langford) e seu amigo de infância (Jamie Chung), enquanto luta para revelar um segredo aos pais religiosos.

VINGADORES: ULTIMATO

Após Thanos eliminar metade das criaturas vivas, os Vingadores precisam lidar com a dor da perda de amigos e seus entes queridos. Com Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) vagando perdido no espaço sem água nem comida, Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) e Natasha Romanov (Scarlett Johansson) precisam liderar a resistência contra o titã louco.

Tá todo mundo louco por essa estreia, então já preparem-se para o filme de herói do ano.

Então gente eu vou ficando por aqui, espero que os lançamentos tenham agradado vocês, marquem na agenda pra não perderem nenhum dos filmes que esperam tanto para estrear ok? Mês que vem tem mais Lançamentos e eu volto pra mostrar tudinho aqui no Pipoca. Boa semana a todos!

Historical reading list

Hello, world. A while ago I made a list of history books to read that would take me chronologically from the Big Bang up to the present. I did it on a Word document and haven’t had time to compile the list on Goodreads, but I wanted to post it here as a stopgap for anyone interested. There’s a penchant towards my own heritage, which comes through the United States and Mormonism, with, for instance, at least one biography on every American President (through Obama). But I tried to be broad because as I read these I want to gain a broad understanding not just of history but of different global cultures today; hence so many titles dealing with religion or mythology in general. There’s a smattering of fiction thrown in there where it fits historically, like The Iliad, Divine Comedy, or Uncle Tom’s Cabin, and I have other reading lists dealing with topics like art, music, religion (outside of history, like books about Buddhism or Joseph Campbell essays), and contemporary work in natural sciences/conservation/mass extinction, so by and large books relating to those things don’t appear here, but I still hope it’s useful. 1.     A Brief History of Time, Stephen Hawking

黄金T+D收涨，但白银T+D重挫逾3%！美元升势暂歇，本周一大年度盛事须高度关注 黄金T+D收涨，但白银T+D重挫逾3%！美元升势暂歇，本周一大年度盛事须高度关注 周一（8月24日）黄金T+D收盘上涨0.40%至415.96元/克；白银T+D下跌3.36%至5847元/千克。现货黄金升至1950附近，此前一直在1930附近徘徊，日内美元指数回落，这令黄金重启升势。本周市场将关注杰克逊霍尔年会，此次远程举办的会议中，美联储主席鲍威尔将发表讲话。这一次市场要关注的是鲍威尔是否对经济有所担忧，以及他对未来三个月表现的预期。 上海黄金交易所2020年8月24日交易行情 ① 黄金T+D收盘上涨0.40%至415.96元/克，成交量92.044吨，成交金额378亿2711万9760元，交收方向“多支付给空”，交收量7.844吨； ② 迷你金T+D收盘上涨0.35%至416.1元/克，成交量12.0646吨，成交金额49亿5982万3448元，交收方向“多支付给空”，交收量21.342吨； ③ 白银T+D收盘下跌3.36%至5847元/千克，成交量34916.192吨，成交金额1999亿7674万7942元，交收方向“多支付给空”，交收量16.710吨。 黄金走高20美元 周一(8月24日)现货黄金升至1950附近，此前一直在1930附近徘徊，日内美元指数回落，这令黄金重启升势。经历了此前9周连涨之后的两周连跌后，市场对本周金价的走势有所分歧。 盛宝银行(Saxo Bank)大宗商品策略Ole Hansen表示，短期而言黄金市场受到美元表现主导。在美元疲软出现前所未见的疲软表现后，短期会有修正。美元看空头寸在极高的水平，这就可能出现轧空头。也就意味着短期黄金的多头头寸会受到挤压。 另外，市场认为黄金市场的波动率会加剧，而其长期看涨的趋势并没有改变。Hansen认为，在全球经济依然“黑云压顶”的情况下，黄金下行支撑是很良好的。 MKS交易主管Afshin Nabavi也表示，继续看涨黄金，关注下行1920美元/盎司的支撑水平。黄金基本面没有改变，只不过出现了更多双向交易。在此前金价大涨突破2000美元/盎司后，回落修正是健康的。 德国商业银行(Commerzbank)大宗商品研究主管Eugen Weinberg表示，金价在1900附近的盘整会带来更稳定的市场。一些较弱的多头离场是比较好的，黄金下行能铸造更坚强的底部。 Adrian Day Asset Management首席执行官Adrian Day表示，黄金市场早就需要修正了，在下跌之后会有非常多的逢低买入需求。还有很多资金在观望中。 德国商业银行分析师Carsten Fritsch指出，2011年的高位1920美元/盎司是关键的支撑水平，跌破该水平将会延缓黄金的回升。修正可能延缓多头，也会使得投资者们抛售黄金ETF。 凯投宏观(Capital Economics)首席大宗商品经济学家Caroline Bain也指出，近期金价的下跌是因为投资者们在抛售，其中不少是因为获利了结，另外则是因为美元的回升。 未来几个月预计金价会有小幅回升，美国实际利率会有走低，美元也会走软。整个经济依然面临着巨大的不确定性，因此投资者会选择持有一些黄金。 8月24日黄金ETFs数据显示，截止8月22日黄金ETF-SPDR Gold Trust的黄金持仓量1252.38吨,较上一交易日持平；Gold Trust8月24日数据显示，iShares Gold Trust8月22日黄金持有量503.97吨,较上一交易日增加0.68吨。 黄金大涨令黄金中间商暴赚 去年以来黄金市场的大涨使得黄金ETF持有量同样大幅增长。然而一些市场人士表示，这令人想到了19世纪美国加州淘金热。著名作家马克吐温曾经说过一句话，在淘金热中最容易快速致富的方式，是卖铲子。 今年以来，黄金和白银ETF持有量总计增长了差不多500亿美元，全球黄金ETF总持有量目前已经超过了美国之外其它各国央行的黄金储备总量。这意味着整个ETF行业赚得了大量交易费。 State Street Global Advisors首席黄金策略师George Milling-Stanley表示，在目前这种环境下，黄金是一个非常好的行业。 该机构是全球最大黄金ETF，SPDR黄金ETF(GLD)的市场代理。毫无疑问黄金ETF的需求在推动着金价。 投资者买入黄金ETF会支付一定比例的交易费用，而在金价持续走高的背景下，对黄金ETF交易商来说，就意味着双重收益。 以全球最大的十大黄金ETF来看，以目前金价计算，全年交易费用能收得大约6.1亿美元。GLD目前一年能收益3亿美元的交易费。 再看全球最大的五大白银ETF，以目前银价计算，全年交易费大约1.1亿美元。事实上，今年前8个月投资者们买入的白银ETF超过了去年全年10大白银生产商总计白银矿产量。 除此之外，这些黄金的仓储费用也是相当大的。GLD持有的黄金存在汇丰银行在伦敦的金库里，2015年数据显示，前450万盎司黄金库存费为0.1%，之后则是0.06%。 Coalition Development研究主管Amrit Shahani指出，黄金ETF的仓储费大约是各大银行每年从贵金属交易中赚得的11亿到12亿美元中的10%左右，但预计今年这一数字能翻番。另外，今年黄金ETF持有量的增长使得库存空间告急。 机构观点：本周市场将关注杰克逊霍尔年会 上周黄金市场激烈波动，尽管金价一度回升，但最终多头还是未能站得上风，金价创下连续第二周下跌。 Kitco Metals Global Trading的Peter Hug表示，推动上周金价下跌的主要原因是美联储会议纪要。美元的回升使得投资者们抛售黄金，美元看起来已经稳定住找到了底部，开始了���升。 本周市场将关注杰克逊霍尔年会，此次远程举办的会议中，美联储主席鲍威尔将发表讲话。Hug指出，每一次美联储主席讲话，市场都会出现明显波动。 这一次市场要关注的是鲍威尔是否对经济有所担忧，以及他对未来三个月表现的预期。如果他显现出担忧，那么会出现比较明显的波动。 Hug指出，在这种风险事件到来的时候，人们往往会选择减少持仓离场，无论是持有多头还是空头。不过对于本周黄金市场的表现，市场还是不少看多的。 黄金总体的看多趋势并没有改变，因为整个市场对这个宏观大环境仍然很担忧。很多投资者都是在1900下方的时候入场的，所以只要维持在该水平上方，就有收益。一些投资者则选择获利了结转向现金。不过接下去这个秋季，市场预计会继续波动。

Bears Three-Peat For Third Time

Papanikolaou Wins MVP As Cal Claims 17th National Title

LOS ANGELES – They didn't want to talk about it all season long. So, no one really brought it up.

But, with so much proven talent returning and the established championship pedigree on their team, every Golden Bear knew there was only one real mission in 2023 – to become just the fourth men's water polo team ever to win three straight national titles.

California (24-5) accomplished that mission, defeating top-seeded UCLA 13-11 at Uytengsu Aquatics Center behind a third straight NCAA Championship MVP performance from Nikolaos Papanikolaou. After dispatching #1 USC on Saturday, the Bears were once again able to tackle another championship game with laser focus.

"Incredibly proud of these guys. Everything that they battled through this year," Cal head coach Kirk Everist. "It's only been done a few times. To be able to figure out how to win three in a row is something that's very rare, but this is an extremely rare group. I'm proud to be a part of it."

For much of the game, the only way the Bruins (26-3) could stop the two-time Cutino Award winner from scoring was by fouling him. In the four possessions following Papanikolaou's seventh drawn exclusion early in the third quarter, the Bears got the separation they needed, scoring three unanswered goals to put them up 12-6.

UCLA clawed its way back and would have cut Cal's lead to just two goals on a promising counter attack at the end of the third period if not for a heroic save by goalkeeper Adrian Weinberg. The three-time ACWPC All-American finished with 11 saves, including four in the fourth quarter.

The Bruins did eventually cut the deficit to 12-10 with 5:36 left in the game, but Max Casabella answered with a dagger from straightaway on the following play, lasering in his fifth goal straight down off the crossbar. Casabella and Weinberg both joined Papanikolaou on the NCAA All-Tournament First Team, while Jake Howerton earned second-team honors.

"There was a lot of adversity this season, but the best part about this group is we're always going to stick together no matter how bad it gets," Weinberg said. "I was pretty confident (since the start of the season) that we'd make it here."

With time on their side, the Bears leaned on their defense and let the clock run out, cementing their place alongside Cal's 1973-75 and 1990-92 squads as the only Golden Bear teams to win three straight national titles.

"It's pretty nice. You don't accomplish something like this without incredible players," said Everist, who won his sixth NCAA championship as a coach and eighth overall. "It takes a lot more than just great players to do this time and time again though. I'm just grateful to have been around these guys."

After missing the first two games of the tournament, Roberto Valera returned in a big way, contributing to more goals than any other player with four goals and two assists. Albert Ponferrada finished with game highs of four assists and three steals.

A send-off following a third straight championship game victory was always going to be the best possible scenario for Cal's nine-man senior class of 2023 – eight of whom are in their fifth year as Bears. Everist reiterated how proud he was for all that they've battled through and accomplished for the program, while Papanikolaou and Weinberg lightheartedly joked about where this championship ranks among the three.

"I think both of us can agree that this one was very special because it was a culmination of everything we worked for," Weinberg said. "It's very special and it hasn't really registered yet, but it probably will in about a week."

Weinberg ends the year with 984 career saves, placing him at No. 3 all-time in MPSF history. Still fresh off winning a gold medal for Team USA at the Pan American Games in November, Weinberg is hopeful to continue competing at the highest level for Team USA as it prepares for the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Papanikolaou reached a tally of 253 goals which ranks No. 2 all time at Cal. But according to Everist, when it comes to overall Cal legends, that's not where he places Papanikolaou in the rankings.

"I played with a guy who lives in Greece now. His name's Chris Humbert. He, rightfully so, thinks that he's the best player who ever played at Cal," Everist said. "I keep telling him he's the second-best player, but he would say, 'I have 3 championships and [Papanikolaou] only has two.' So, now I can text him and say, 'Alright, take a step down.'"

The Other Worlds 2019 preview Day 3

Art by Lauren Kitching

Returning for a sixth exciting year, Other Worlds, one of the premier SciFi Film Festivals in the US, features some of the best and unheralded genre films. Beginning on Thursday December 5 at Austin’s Galaxy Highland 10, the four day event includes over 20 feature films, a slew of shorts, a screenwriting workshop, and the Mary Shelley Award. This year also features the return of Under Worlds, which brings the best of indie to Austin.

Not terribly surprising to anyone who regularly follows my writings, I’ll be there.

Here’s what to expect at Other Worlds 2019.

2PM SciFi Shorts 2: Crossing Over to the Future

2:15PM LIVE FROM OTHER WORLDS FILM FEST – IT’S “SCIENCE VS FICTION”

Scott Weinberg is a veteran film critic. Steven DeGennaro is a doctor of astrophysics. Every week they compare and contrast two noteworthy SciFi films on their popular podcast “Science vs Fiction,” where they discuss the artistic quality of the films, whether they get the science right, and whether or not that even matters. Past pairings have included ARMAGEDDON vs DEEP IMPACT, ALIENS vs STARSHIP TROOPERS, and JASON X vs LEPRECHAUN IN SPACE IN SPACE.

Other Worlds, they will open the massive can of worms that is cinematic time travel when they turn their talents on the 1979 classic (and Opening Night Film!) TIME AFTER TIME.

An ominous Victorian house at the top of the hill is the only refuge for miles and miles. They have nowhere to go and must seek refuge in THE OLD DARK HOUSE.

This year at Other Worlds, we are exploring the trope of the Old Dark House, how it originated, other tropes and stories that appear in within the Old Dark House, and how the trope has evolved and continues to be used today. Join Other Worlds Programmer and Screenwriting Director Eric Harrelson for a discussion and curated clip show curated by Other Worlds newest Programmer Wyatt Walker. Find out why old tropes never die, they just get subverted.

Seven-year-old James foresaw the accident happening two days prior and tried to prevent it, but who’s going to believe a kid who claims to see the future? Twenty-plus years later, James is a product of the failed foster care system, using his ability for petty crime and cheap thrills. But when a pre-sentient vision reveals to him his own imminent murder, James must go on the run and change a fate he knows is fixed.

10:15PM Scare Package (Texas Premiere) Under Worlds Centerpiece Film

USA | 103 min

Directors: Emily Hagins, Baron Vaughn, Noah Segan, Chris McInroy, Anthony Cousins, Hillary & Courtney Andujar, Aaron B. Koontz Cast: Toni Trucks, Joe Bob Briggs, Dustin Rhodes, Chase Williamson, Baron Vaughn, Noah Segan

A meta Horror-comedy anthology film where each segment subverts a different set of Horror tropes, SCARE PACKAGE intertwines its components around the on-boarding of a mysterious new employee at a struggling genre video store: Rad Chad’s Horror Emporium.

This year’s Under Worlds Centerpiece film is very special for our programming team for many reasons. It’s an intelligent, creative look at the Horror genre that is both hilarious and scary. Furthermore, three of the segments were shot here in Austin by local filmmakers, one of whom is an Other Worlds alumni. The producing team for the film does a great job managing the tone of the anthology while still maintaining each director’s vision. It is rare to see an anthology film where connecting material is just as compelling as the individual parts, but the team has done it here.

Number One Poultry : Architecture

Listing for Postmodern Building in London, England – original design by James Stirling Michael Wilford

post updated 12 June 2021 No 1 Poultry London Building Photos

I find the scale and articulation of this building to be massively overweight, however the planting in the courtyard adds life, as do the vibrant internal facade colours.

Redevelopment Architect: BuckleyGrayYeoman

Latest BuckleyGrayYeoman plan reveals proposed colonnade seating area

Plans lodged with the City of London Corporation reveal that the owners of No1 Poultry are looking to introduce an outdoor seating area to serve a new retail unit at James Stirling and Michael Wilford’s revered block, reports Building Design.

Proposals submitted on behalf of owners Wood Grafton One seek permission to put 30 chairs and 15 tables outside a unit behind the existing colonnade on the south side of the building, which was completed in 1998.

Number 1 Poultry Building Listing

No 1 Poultry Listed

James Stirling and Michael Wilford & Partners’ No 1 Poultry has been listed at Grade II*, just a year after a previous bid was rejected, reports the Architects’ Journal today.

The City of London building is a highly significant work by one of Britain’s leading post-war architects, James Stirling.

This building is listed under the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 as amended for its special architectural or historic interest.

Historic England Report:

Summary of Building

Speculative commercial building incorporating offices and retail units, the Green Man public house, a public right of way in Bucklersbury Passage and rooftop restaurant and garden. Designed in 1985-88 by James Stirling, Michael Wilford and Associates for Peter Palumbo’s City Acre Property Investment Trust Ltd, and built in 1994-8 by the practice, renamed Michael Wilford and Partners Ltd after Stirling’s death in 1992.

photo © Adrian Welch

Reasons for Designation

No.1 Poultry, designed in 1985-88 by James Stirling, Michael Wilford and Associates, and built in 1994-98 by the practice, renamed Michael Wilford and Partners after Stirling’s death in 1992, is listed at Grade II* for the following principal reasons:

* Architect: a highly significant late work by one of Britain’s foremost post-war architects, which expresses Stirling’s singular approach to design; * Architectural and design interest: an unsurpassed example of commercial post-modernism, on a monumental scale, intricate in its planning and rigorously scrutinised and executed; * Commercial development: one of the key developments of the post-war era, built by a prominent developer, determined to create a building of enduring quality; * Spatial interest and form: a striking symmetrical composition on a tightly constrained site, exemplifying Stirling’s work in its exploration of space and movement though interlocking geometrical volumes and in its use of materials, colour and motifs, and exceptionally carrying this through to a dynamic interior space; *

Planning: exemplary urban contextualism in a complex spatial inter-relationship of mixed-use office and retail accommodation, a public right of way, roof garden and restaurant, entrance to the underground station and public house, where the generosity of the public realm is exceptional for a speculative scheme; * Civic presence and group value: occupies a very prominent site in the heart of the City of London, in close proximity to highly prestigious civic and commercial buildings, which are referenced in the design.

e-architect asked Twentieth Century Society Director Catherine Croft for a statement:

No 1 Poultry Listing Review

photo © Adrian Welch

“We are pleased that the listing case has been reopened, but what is needed is a rapid decision to confirm the listing of this outstanding building. It’s much better if buildings can be assessed before proposals to alter them are under consideration. The technical argument here was whether or not the changes contemplated represented a sufficient level of risk to the building. A subsequent DCMS response on another case (received today) has refused to consider upgrading of Smithfield Poultry Market from II to II* because the scheme is “not yet finalised nor does it have the benefit of planning permission”—surely it would be much better to decide this in advance?

What we really need is a much better resourced listing system which can carry out proactive surveys , and look each year at all the buildings reaching 30 years of age (the point at which they are generally listable without special circumstances applying).”

Catherine Croft, Director of the Twentieth Century Society

Number 1 Poultry Listing Refusal to be Reviewed

No 1 Poultry Listing Reconsideration

Number One Poultry is to be reconsidered for listing just seven months after it was refected, reports Building Design.

photo © Nick Weall

James Stirling’s City of London landmark was rejected for protection by the DCMS in December 2015, against the advice of Historic England and despite facing redevelopment.

Surprisingly the culture ministry has now announced it will review the decision after a detailed appeal submitted by the Twentieth Century Society.

The decision will be made by new culture secretary Karen Bradley. The reversal appears to be one of the last acts of John Whittingdale who was sacked by Prime Minister Theresa May a few days later.

Number 1 Poultry Listing Refusal

No 1 Poultry Listing Refused

The DCMS has refused to list No1 Poultry – ignoring Historic England’s advice.

picture © Adrian Welch

The Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) has written to Historic England to inform them of their view that the proposed changes to No.1 Poultry do not constitute substantial harm to the building and that therefore, due to its relatively recent construction, it does not meet the criteria for listing.

Emily Gee, Head of Listing at Historic England, said: “We recommended that No.1 Poultry be listed at Grade II* and are disappointed that the Secretary of State did not agree that it was under threat. We consider that the proposed changes to the building would alter its character and wanted to provide clarity on the building’s special architectural interest to inform its future management.

No.1 Poultry is a highly significant late work by one of Britain’s leading post-war architects, James Stirling. It was a key work of late 20th century architecture, built by a prominent developer who was determined to create a building of enduring quality.”

Number 1 Poultry Listing Refusal

4 Dec 2015

1 Poultry Listing Decision

“The Twentieth Century Society is very disappointed with the decision not to list 1 Poultry. It is extraordinary that this decision has been made not on the grounds that the architectural or historic merits of the building are inadequate for listing. Listing has been refused because DCMS has overridden the opinion of Historic England and the original design team that the current proposals for substantial alteration do constitute a threat to the building’s integrity. We are currently looking at options for challenging this decision which leaves Britain’s foremost post-modern building extremely vulnerable.”

Number 1 Poultry Listing

No 1 Poultry Listing Bid

Leading architects have called for No 1 Poultry, James Stirling’s controversial building in the City of London, to be listed in an attempt to derail a proposed redevelopment.

Norman Foster, Zaha Hadid, Richard Rogers and Piers Gough wrote letters in support of the City landmark following plans by owners Perella Weinberg to redevelop James Stirling’s 1997 Postmodern landmark building.

Notorious development in that the demolition of the previous building on the site – a stone-built Victorian stoe, Mappin & Webb – was strongly disliked by many.

Moreover, Lord Palumbo had plans to place a Mies van der Rohe tower here with a windswept plaza in front of it, not exactly in the grain of the historic City of London. In the end we got a flowery Postmodern design by Jim Stirling.

The building has none of the grace of the previous incumbent, in its favour one could say it is interesting and colourful, but very non-contextual. There’s an obvious ship’s prow metaphor and strong facade striation.

Some Eagles Beat Writers Weren’t Happy with the Carson Wentz Secret Meeting

Last Thursday, Carson Wentz responded to Joe Santoliquito’s Philly Voice article in a sit down interview with six members of the Eagles press corps. The 23-minute discussion was embargoed until yesterday morning for whatever reason (maybe it had something to do with the Super Bowl), but this was the list of invitees:

Zach Berman (Philadelphia Inquirer)

Jeff McLane (Philadelphia Inquirer)

Dave Zangaro (NBC Sports Philadelphia)

Reuben Frank (NBC Sports Philadelphia)

Sheil Kapadia (The Athletic)

Tim McManus (ESPN)

I think all of us would probably say that those are six of the “main guys” on the beat. They’re usually up front, asking the bulk of questions during press conferences and scrums. They work for legacy and/or respected media outlets with significant readership. Their stuff is going to move the needle more than the guy writing for the Hazleton Standard-Speaker.

The public relations concept is simple enough; if you put Carson Wentz in front of the entire group, it’s just going to turn into a shit show of people yelling over each other to try to get their questions in. Doing it in the auditorium and passing a microphone around might make sense, but a scrum would be a nightmare.

So you take a small group of reporters who are on the beat daily, put them in a more intimate setting, and let your quarterback be more comfortable facing half a dozen people instead of 25 people all fumbling to get a recorder or a TV camera in his face.

To their credit, the six people who participated got a lot of great quotes from Wentz. I didn’t finish any of their articles thinking, “why didn’t they ask him about (this topic) instead?”

But some people were annoyed that they weren’t invited, which is understandable.

I shared this exchange yesterday:

There was more from Jack and some of the other newspaper guys, after the jump:

It’s a fair point, sure, but like I said, I think the six guys invited covered all of the bases and didn’t leave anything hanging.

Dave Weinberg covers the Eagles for the Press of Atlantic City

They picked those who they knew would snap to attention. Everyone else, apparently, is a circus act. They just keep digging that hole.

— Jack McCaffery (@JackMcCaffery) February 5, 2019

The other reporters aren’t a “circus act,” but the group as a whole can be. There are a TON of people down there regularly, and while the Sixers beat doesn’t feature half as many folks as the Eagles beat, we’ve had some Bryan Colangelo and Markelle Fultz availabilities that turned into people sort of fumbling over one another trying to shout out their questions.

More from Jack and Sielski via a Bob Grotz tweet that contains two misspelled words. What he’s trying to say here is that the Eagles accused Joe Santoliquito of being “selective,” then went and acted selectively themselves by picking out six people to talk to Wentz:

Maybe the writers chosen were not alerted by the #Eagles that it was an invitation-only affair. If so they have the right to be offended more than insulted. @MikeSielski

— Jack McCaffery (@JackMcCaffery) February 4, 2019

Secret invitation-only media briefings are suspicious and anyone knowingly invited to one should at least question why they were so chosen.

— Jack McCaffery (@JackMcCaffery) February 4, 2019

I'm willing to believe they were not aware of what the Eagles had in mind. But the Eagles had a plan and, in character, executed it their way. It's over. But those writers should brace against being insulted the next time they are hand picked to ask the questions.

— Jack McCaffery (@JackMcCaffery) February 4, 2019

Mike is right; Jeff McLane is hardly a homer. I mean, Howie Roseman laughed in his face less than a month ago in front of the entire press corps. So it’s not like McLane was invited to the secret Carson Wentz meeting because he would go easy on Carson or fall in line, it was because he’s there every single day and writes for the city’s premier newspaper and legacy media outlet.

More from Weinberg via “Fake Rob Charry” –

Yeah, I don’t think anyone was going to get this invitation and say, “thanks, but no thanks.”

Thing is, this happens all the time in sports media. It’s not just exhibited in these kinds of situations.

For instance, if a front office executive is looking for a leak, is he going to the Philadelphia Inquirer or the Pottstown Mercury? He’s going to the Inquirer, because it’s a massive media organization in a large market while the Mercury is a smaller and hyper-local newspaper. That’s not to insult the fine folks in Upper Montco, it’s just pointing out the fact that their reach and their ability to disseminate information takes place on a much smaller scale by the nature of what they are.

Beyond that, the reason no local beat reporters ever break anything is because team leaks come from the top down. They’re given to national guys like Adam Schefter or Adrian Wojnarowski via front office executives, agents, and people in the NFL and NBA league offices. It doesn’t mean local beats are incapable, it just makes more sense for sources to spread information via national media instead.

Zach probably had the best response:

I’ll stand by my work any day.

— Zach Berman (@ZBerm) February 4, 2019

I don’t think Eagles PR did anything wrong here. They avoided the “circus atmosphere” by picking out six of the main beat guys and putting them in a setting with Wentz that was more conducive to fair questions and honest answers. I wouldn’t label any of those six as “homers,” though maybe Roob can be that way sometimes.

The only thing that might have made more sense was to only have one person from the Inquirer and one person from NBCSP, because you had six guys representing four outlets, two of which put their content behind a pay wall. You could have invited Jimmy Kempski or Mike Kaye or Zack Rosenblatt or one of the WIP guys instead, which would have given you six reporters from six different outlets.

Either way, interesting public relations case study for the aspiring reporter.
