Everything’s terrifying in the dark

"Everything's terrifying in the dark", a review of 'Catch me a killer', a new fact-based series on Showmax, featuring Charlotte Hope.

ON the beat: Retired FBI investigator Robert Ressler (Sean Cameron Michael) with profiler Micki Pistorius (Charlotte Hope) in a scene from Showmax’s Catch Me a Killer. SHE’S TOUGH. SHE’S wise. She has everything it takes to be conversant and earn respect in the uncouth macho South African man’s world that constituted the SA Police Service in the mid-1990s. She also has what it takes to skip the…

『 “The roads are flooded. Looks like you’re stuck with me.” 』 sent by @vikasgarden

Blutrot und riesig senkte sich die Sonne am frühen Abend dem Horizont entgegen. Man sagte, zu dieser Jahreszeit gab es das längste Zwielicht, die magische Stunde zwischen Tag und Nacht. Der Spätsommer war launisch, unentschlossen zwischen sengender Mittagshitze und den ersten, frostigen Herbstnächten. Zuerst sah man einen grellen Blitz zwischen den Wolken. Danach folgte ein lautes Donnergrollen. Jedes Kind kannte dieses Phänomen, trotzdem hielten alle für einen Moment inne als sich schlagartig der Himmel verdunkelte und sich ein gewaltiges Unwetter über der Stadt zusammenbraute. Die Leute verfielen in einen eiligen Gang, spannten ihre Schirme auf, wobei ihnen ein kräftiger Wind zu schaffen machte. Andere suchten gemeinschaftlich Schutz unter Vordächern, in Erwartung des Regens. Ein junger Mann in schwarz bewegte sich gegen den Strom der Passanten. Die ersten, dicken Tropfen fielen. Sie landeten weich auf seinem Haaransatz, Stirn und Nasenrücken. Er befand sich nun am leergefegten Ende der eben noch gut besuchten Promenade. Ein weiter, offener Platz mit einem großen Zierbrunnen in der Mitte. In der Nähe überragte das alte Rathaus mit Glockenturm die angrenzenden Gebäude. Es warf einen breiten, finsteren Schatten auf den Platz und das letzte Tageslicht verschwand hinter der schwarzen Wolkenfront. Ein paar Augenblicke später goss es wie aus Kübeln. Sturmböen wehten die runterkommenden Wassermassen gegen die Häuserfronten und fegten heulend durch schmale Seitengassen. Nach einigen Minuten war der Brunnen überschwemmt und verwandelte sich in einen Wasserfall. Außer ihm war hier keine andere Menschenseele weit und breit, oder...? Er streckte die Hände ein Stück aus, mit den Handflächen nach oben. Der starke Regen durchnässte ihn bis auf die Knochen und der überfüllte Brunnen hinter ihm flutete den Platz bis er knöcheltief im Wasser stand, aber er störte sich überhaupt nicht daran. Lieber beobachtete er das Spektakel direkt über sich: Drei, vier, fünf lange Blitze erhellten die Dunkelheit, direkt gefolgt von ohrenbetäubendem Mehrfachdonner. Allmählich wurde es für jeden Normalsterblichen gefährlich hier draußen. Der heftige Sturm zerlegte gnadenlos den Süßigkeitenstand vom alten Morgan, der seit über dreißig Jahren kleinen und großen Marktbesuchern eine Freude machte mit seinen Leckereien. Armer, alter Mann, wenn der morgen früh sein zerstörtes Häuschen vorfinden würde. Der Wind riss die Planken von der Holzhütte und verwehte sie quer über den Platz. Eine verfehlte Michaels Gesicht nur knapp aber der zuckte nichtmal zusammen. Er blickte allerdings in die Richtung aus der das Holzstück geflogen kam und entdeckte bei der Gelegenheit, dass er sich doch nicht mutterseelenallein im Auge des Sturms befand. Die Gestalt trat aus einer Seitenstraße hinter Morgans Stand hervor und kam in seine Richtung. Die Wassermassen reichten ihr bis zu den Waden. "Mit einem Schirm kann ich leider nicht dienen.", rief er der jungen Frau zu als sie in Hörweite kam. "Was zum Teufel machen Sie allein hier draußen?" Mal davon abgesehen, dass er selber allein hier draußen war. Bloß könnte er nicht versehentlich von herumfliegenden Holzplanken erschlagen werden. "Passen Sie auf Ihren Kopf auf.", warnte er als sich erneut ein Brett löste und auf sie zugeflogen kam. "Stadteinwärts sind die Straßen noch mehr geflutet. Sieht so aus als würden Sie hier mit mir festsitzen."

YOON POTS FIRST CAREER GOAL AS WOLF PACK BEAT BRUINS 5-2

By: Alex Thomas, Hartford Wolf Pack PROVIDENCE, RI—The Hartford Wolf Pack scored five goals on Sunday afternoon for the first time since February 2nd, claiming a 5-2 victory over the Providence Bruins at the Amica Mutual Pavilion. The win snapped the Bruins' five-game winning streak and gave the Wolf Pack points in five of their last six games (3-1-1-1). The Wolf Pack came up empty-handed on their first powerplay of the night but quickly struck five-on-five to extend the lead to 3-1 moments after it expired. Michael Callahan's shot evaded Dylan Garand and rocketed into the neutral zone, where Brett Berard found the puck. Berard blazed into the offensive zone on the left-wing side and fired a shot that beat Brandon Bussi for his team-leading 19th goal of the season at 6:02 of the second period. The tally moved Berard into a tie for third in the AHL in goals among rookies, which was his team-leading seventh game-winning goal. The Wolf Pack needed just 43 seconds to open the scoring this afternoon, as Karl Henriksson returned to the lineup in style with his ninth goal of the season. Henriksson corralled a loose puck along the right-wing boards in the offensive zone and curled it into the slot. The second-year center flung a shot to the net that clipped Brandon Bussi and found the back of the net. The goal was Hartford's fastest to start a game on the road this season. Ian Mitchell drew the Bruins even at 6:17, firing a shot into traffic for his fourth goal of the season. The puck snuck past Garand's glove, who was screened by numerous bodies from both sides. Bryan Yoon restored the Wolf Pack's lead just 1:58 into the second period, blasting his first career AHL goal by Bussi. Cameron Hillis dropped a pass from the right-wing boards to the top of the zone, where Yoon loaded up and fired into traffic. Bussi never saw the puck, giving Yoon his first point in his ninth AHL contest. Berard's goal at 6:02 made it 3-1 Wolf Pack. It was his first goal back in his hometown of Providence, where he also played college hockey as a member of the Providence College Friars. Anthony Richard drew the Bruins within a goal at 5:39 of the third period, potting his 20th marker of the season. Richard danced into the Wolf Pack zone before making a terrific individual effort that ended with a shot over Garand's blocker. Garand was perfect from there, however, as the Wolf Pack stymied the Bruin attack in the final 14 minutes of the game. Anton Blidh made a terrific effort, hitting the empty net from the neutral zone at 17:39 to effectively end the intrigue. Turner Elson also hit the empty net for good measure at 18:33, potting his fifth goal of the season. The win evens the season series, as both teams have won four times in the first eight meetings. The Pack is back at the XL Center on Friday night when the Bruins come to town for the final time this season.

On December 5, 1974, the last Episode of Monty Python's Flying Circus aired. ("Party Political Broadcast" Monty Python's Flying Circus, TV)

[jabbage]

So, today the Letters from Watson discord server and I discovered that there is a gloriously animated Warner Brothers Sherlock Holmes adaptation. Holmes and Watson have such nice character designs and they're so fluid, so much squash and stretch!

They're voiced by John Rhys-Davies and Michael York, and have such sweet little interactions with each other.

There are so many fun Easter eggs for a fan - references to characters from the stories, a tailor called Brett Jeremy, they visit the Rathbone Inn, and the business of someone called Bruce Nigel

There are some really fun chase scenes and action sequences!

.... are you sensing a big BUT coming?

BUT.

Yeah it's one of those weird Tom and Jerry movies.

Also the plot, and I cannot emphasise this enough, makes absolutely no sense. It is utterly INSANE. And Moriarty is able to do this.

Wild ride all round, tbh.

WEREWOLVES WITHIN - Review

DISTRIBUTOR: IFC Films

SYNOPSIS: Newly arrived forest ranger Finn has come to the small town of Beaverfield to look into the divisions that have risen in the community over a proposed pipeline. When a snowstorm traps its residents together inside the local inn it is up to Finn and the local postal worker Cecily to try to keep the peace and uncover the truth behind a mysterious creature that has begun terrorizing the community.

REVIEW: WEREWOLVES WITHIN is based on the Ubisoft VR video game in which players discover what characters sitting around the campfire are werewolves. There were other little twists, turns, and elements to the game, but you get the basic idea. Author turned screenwriter, and ex-wife of comic Marc Maron, Mishna Wolff (kind of ironic her last name is Wolff) turns the concept into a cinematic who-done-it comedy with interesting characters and fresh dialogue. It’s a fun setup that harkens back to cinematic comedies like “Clue,” “Murder by Death,” or even “Shaun of the Dead.” She’s discarded most of the game’s elements other than the basic premise that there is a werewolf hiding amongst the group and they’re trying to figure out who it is before anyone else dies.

Director Josh Ruben does an excellent job of capturing the grandeur of this picturesque mountain town and some funny moments. The film focuses more on the comedy than the werewolf, but there are some grisly moments, after all it is a werewolf movie. The big reveal transformation scene is no “The Howling” or “An American Werewolf in London,” but as it is kept mostly in the dark body movement and sound design go a long way to add creepiness to the scene. There are also many creative edits that add a bit of smoke and mirrors to the plot. Ruben does an excellent job of maintaining the film’s energy and delivers a fun, engaging and entertaining view.

The film is a delight to watch largely due to the work of actor Sam Richardson and actress Milana Vayntrub, yes the AT&T spokeswoman from the commercials. When they work together to try and unravel the mystery it turns into this buddy type situation with their unique personal issues and problems. The performances are grounded, but there is also this light and airy element to the performances that make it enjoyable and delightful to watch. I have to admit that I only had a limited awareness of their other work and was mesmerized by their performances here. I was shocked to see the body of work credited to these actors. The rest of the cast does an excellent job creating these characters grounded. They could have easily become these clinched stereotypes that were simply there to serve as victims, but it is an enjoyable ensemble cast.

I never played the Ubisoft VR video game WEREWOLVES WITHIN so I could not tell you if there are any “easter eggs” in the film that involved the game. In a time when I’ve sat through so many Seth Rogan, Danny McBride, James Franco, or any of the sophomoric comedies of the last few years it’s refreshing to watch a film that relies more on the craft and performances than 1that of vulgar and the exploitative elements for  comedy. Director Josh Ruben’s work makes a solid case for my argument that there is a unique parallel between horror and comedy in that it all comes down to the timing. The film has a talented ensemble cast and two stellar leads that make WEREWOLVES WITHIN a howling good time… pun intended!

2019 was hard. It was hard and shitty. It was a year that deserves a quick burial with very little mourning. I lost a lot of people this year and almost lost myself. This year was filled with periods of unemployment, too many interviews, a lot of depression and overwhelming loneliness. To all my friends, thank you for sticking with me through the good times and the bad. You are what got me through it.

ITALIA RICCI, CHAD MICHAEL MURRAY AND JACK TURNER STAR IN ‘LOVE IN WINTERLAND’ A NEW, ORIGINAL MOVIE PREMIERING JANUARY 11 ON HALLMARK CHANNEL

Part of the Network’s Annual “Winterfest” Programming Event

STUDIO CITY, CA – January 6, 2020 – Italia Ricci (“Designated Survivor”), Chad Michael Murray (“Riverdale”) and Jack Turner (“Stitchers”) star in “Love in Winterland,” a new, original movie premiering Saturday, January 11 (9 p.m. ET/PT), on Hallmark Channel as part of the network’s annual “Winterfest” programming event.

Alice Wilson (Ricci), a Los Angeles hotel marketing executive, is a finalist on a hugely popular TV dating show who is sent to her snowy Vermont hometown for a final televised date with bachelor Tanner Dylan (Turner). However, upon arriving back home, she encounters her high school sweetheart, Brett (Murray) who now owns the historic inn where Alice, Tanner and the production crew are all staying. When the show producer discovers Brett’s unrequited affection for Alice, she helps stoke their old feelings for each other, creating a love triangle which forces Alice to re-think her choices in life and decide what’s truly important to her.

“Love in Winterland” is produced by Alice Road Productions Ltd. Pat Williams, Neal Dobrofsky, Tippi Dobrofsky, Michael Shepard, Jennifer Davisson, Phillip Watson, Harvey Kahn and Bianca Versteeg serve as executive producers. Charles Cooper is the producer. Pat Williams directed from a script by Neal Dobrofsky and Tippi Dobrofsky.

Los Angeles hotel marketing executive Alice Wilson (Italia Ricci) is a finalist on the hugely popular TV dating show “Happily Ever After,” but seems more concerned about promoting the hotel chain she works for than actually finding love. Nonetheless, bachelor Tanner Dylan (Jack Turner) is smitten by her and chooses Alice for the final round of dates, sending everyone back East to her snowy Vermont hometown, Winterland, to meet Alice’s family and participate in the upcoming Winterland Festival of Lights. Upon arriving in the picturesque town which she left over five years ago, Alice is greeted like a celebrity. But her excitement is quickly tempered when she discovers she, Tanner and the production crew will be staying at the Candlelight Inn, which is now owned and run by her high school sweetheart, Brett (Chad Michael Murray). Despite Alice’s protests to the contrary, it’s obvious there is still some unfinished business between her and Brett. When show producer Lauren (Aliyah O’Brien) picks up on that, she sees an opportunity for drama, enlisting the help of Alice’s mother, Molly (Wanda Cannon) to have Brett drop by the house at every opportunity. Although Alice and Brett keep things friendly at first, they begin to reminisce and old disagreements soon surface. As they rehash the events of their breakup years earlier, they find themselves back to where they left off and each makes it clear they’re ready to move on. Once Tanner arrives in town, Alice refocuses all her attention on him. But when dinner with her family doesn’t go as planned and Brett suddenly shows up again at the family home, Alice makes it clear she is not succumbing to their scheme to keep her home for good. Alice and Tanner continue their date week in the charming town, culminating with their participation in the Winterland Festival’s annual chili cookoff, which Alice has won in years past. However, when Alice sees Brett has entered the competition – and with Helene (Teagan Vincze), her old high school rival, no less – it’s more than she can bear. Her competitive nature kicks in, leading to a chili cookoff ��death match” where it’s all about winning and Tanner is almost an afterthought. After the events of the chili cookoff, it becomes obvious to Tanner that Alice’s feelings lie elsewhere and he confronts her at their romantic candlelight dinner, forcing her to re-think her choices in life and decide what’s truly important to her.

UK Games Expo 2019

Another extended UK Games Expo weekend has been and gone in the blink of an eye, so here’s how it went for me!

Once again I was playing host to my friend Brendan LaSalle, author of XCrawl and convention out reach dude for Goodman Games ( who publish Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG ) Brendan arrived on Tuesday fresh from Momo Con in Atlanta so it seemed fair to give him a few hours to recover before fueling him with ale and curry.

On Wednesday we kicked off the trip proper with the obligatory ‘touristing’ at the Battle Of Bosworth Heritage Centre, a local spot for me which is full of photo opportunities, some of which will no doubt show up in forthcoming articles on Goodman’s website!

On Wednesday evening we headed out to Board & Swords, a relatively new gaming spot in Derby that I’d been meaning to check out for a couple of months.   Brendan ran ‘Hole In The Sky’ his zero level funnel adventure.

Thursday was setup day at the Expo so we met up with Brett and Alyson who were running the booth to help run some errands for them before heading into Leicester to Bean Gaming, a gorgeous gaming cafe. Sadly the cafe had suffered a break in a couple of weeks ago but Goodman Games were kind enough to provide some raffle prizes for fund raising towards the costs of the damage.

Before the game we met up with Neil (@OldScouserRPing) for a pint and a catch up

Brendan ran ‘The Inn at Five Points’, this year’s ‘Convention Exclusive’ module for a packed table of nine players.

Friday was day one of the Expo and we had an early start to get to Birmingham  and pick up our GM’s packs before the first games started at 9AM

First up was my Umerican Survival Guide session ‘An Umerican Adventure In Engerlund’  which ran really well.  I’ve tweaked a couple of encounters since I last ran this at Gary Con and really enjoyed playing with a mixed table, some of whom had no experience of DCC - it’s always fun showing off that magic system!  The terrible pun I’ve worked into one of the encounters also received a very satisfying groan!

I hadn’t scheduled an afternoon game so managed a quick dash around the trade hall where I bumped into Pookie who was chatting with Brett and Al at the Goodman Games booth.

Friday night’s game was my Dark Trails RPG zero level funnel adventure ‘A Westward Journey’.  Like my Umerica adventure this is still a ‘work in progress’ but I’ve had a couple of decent play test sessions and some really useful feedback, so I was looking forward to running it.   Sadly the session bombed pretty hard, mostly due to poor time management on my part, though there are plot/design issues that I also need to address if I’m going to run the adventure again.  With hindsight I should have hand waved a scene change at the two hour mark to ensure we could at least complete the scenario and show off more of the game mechanics, but doing that felt like a cheat, and consequently I didn’t address it until was too late.  I try to treat every con game as a learning experience, this one more than most, but I’m disappointed that it happened whilst I was trying to promote a game that I’m pretty excited about!

Despite it all Jules got my vote for MVP just for turning up in duster, waistcoat and hat - thanks mate!

Saturday morning came around and I’d committed to running a full day of two hour ‘Games On Demand’ sessions for Lloyd. 

Brendan and I had brainstormed a simple Dungeon Crawl Classics scenario to fit the two hour time slots, planned carefully to show off level zero play before boosting characters to level one to demonstrate the higher level DCC mechanics (mighty deeds, luck, magic etc) 

Having dropped the ball with time management the previous evening I was worried about having to condense so much into a relatively small time slot and the first session felt shaky to say the least, but  having a table with mixed level of experience helped me get into it.

Game two on Saturday had a lower overall experience level but I hit my stride with the adventure and I think we may have had a couple of new DCC fans!

After a lunch break it was great to see some familiar faces from one of my DCC adventures last year - and they brought friends!

For the final table (who I completely forget to grab a photo with!) I decided to  run ‘Portal Under The Stars’ the classic zero level adventure from the DCC RPG rulebook.  It’s quite a challenge in a two hour slot but we proved that  brand new roleplayers can pick up DCC RPG really quickly!

Games on Demand was a really fun challenge and something I’ll definitely consider taking part in next year, without doubt a highlight of this years Expo for me!

Saturday night was kept free for socialising and once again we (over)indulged in the delights (slow service and horrendous prices!) of the Hilton bar.  I called it a night at 2AM, already regretting signing up to run a 9AM game...

The alarm call came around all to soon and after a subdued breakfast I got setup to run my final game of the expo.  ‘Acting Up in Lankhmar’ is an adventure by Michael Curtis for the soon to be released DCC RPG Lankhmar rules.  

I ran what I’d consider to be a pretty accurate ‘literary’ Lankhmar setting (sticking with just three classes (Wizard, Warrior Thief) and the new, but very popular ‘fleeting luck’ mechanics.  It was great to see familiar faces at the table, all of whom brought their ‘A’ game and soon had forgetting my hangover!  Whilst not a complete success for the characters (the adventure ended in a riot!) it was a really fun session and a fantastic high note to end my DCC Judge duties this year!

In the afternoon I played my only session as a player, taking the role of a Thief on the Purple Planet in Andy’s ‘The Rock Awakens’ game.  Andy ran a really engaging session, the last of six games he ran over the weekend! 

On the Monday night we squeezed one more gaming session in at The Dice Cup in Nottingham, with enough players for two tables and solid reports from the shop this week that they may need a restock of DCC rulebooks!

Once again the UK Games Expo weekend has flown by and I’m left plotting and planning next years shenanigans.  See you there!

3, 6, 11 :)

Thanks for your ask!

3. 3 songs that mean something to you

Memory from Cats

I don't know really why but it always touches something inside me when I sing along.

Mary did you know from pentatonix

A christmas song for christians (yes, I'm a christian, not a fundie), I just love the melody

Bye bye Huawei from Arjen Lubach (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iUBxVe0j7Ow&list=PLhYOh4j7IrWdnGGxf-RfsFzEOtsH3DBpW&index=29 ) Watch from 11:10

It's a song made to make fun of Huawei and 5G. I love to watch these kind of things. I know this one pretty good.

6. 3 characters that inspire you

I thought those 3 songs would be hard but this might be even harder. Mostly because almost every book that I read is in Dutch so you guys don't know it. So I'll go with mostly movie characters.

Isabel Kelly played by Julia Roberts in Stepmom

It's such a hard role to have. But she really grows into it, grows a bond with the childeren and as a pedagogue that inspires me to grow a bond with every child that I meet. And knowing that it might take a while for them to trust me.

Phil Connors played by Bill Murray in Groundhog day

I think a lot of people know the feeling that sometimes the days look alike. Phil Conners really made something great at the end of the movie of that one day without expecting that it would last. I love to be like that every day. Doing everything you can, the things you love to do, things for others.

Eugenia "Skeeter" Phelan played by Emma Stone in The Help

I feel very privleged as a white woman in a western country. I hope I can by like Skeeter and break the patterns, treat others like equel because everybody is.

11. 3 books that you would recommend everyone to read

So this is even harder because I read Dutch writers. But I hope these can be read in English too.

Kleine Rachel (Little Rachel) by Brett Michael Innes

It's a hart breaking story about a brave girl who gives her life for her brothers sake. I garanty you will cry while reading the end.

En Rachel huilde (And Rachel cried) by Brett Michael Innes

Another hart breaking story about a woman who left her daughter to be watch by her boss and her daughter dies while they are wathing her. The girl is already death when the story starts. You get an insight in the grief process of the mother.

Niemandsland (nobody's land)by Guurtje Leguijt

I don't think this will be available in English. But it's a story about a boy who's mom dies after the birth of his sibling. He ends up in youth care and goes trew a lot. I would love to take care of childeren in my home someday who can't live with their parents to give these childeren a better place then in the (kind of) boarding schools they live in when there's no other place for them.

欧市盘前：澳元创19个月新高；日本首相或因病辞职，日元走高80点，黄金回升20余美元 欧市盘前：澳元创19个月新高；日本首相或因病辞职，日元走高80点，黄金回升20余美元 周五（8月28日）亚洲时段，美元指数走低，商品货币继续走高，澳元创19个月新高，因经济继续复苏，市场风险偏好情绪整体回暖，同时，澳新银行上调澳元兑美元的预期。现货黄金探底回升20余美元，美元兑日元回落80余点，盘中一度创两周新高，因市场此前预计日本首相安倍晋三将表明继续担任首相的意愿，但最新据日本广播协会电视台28日报道，安倍晋三因为自身健康原因，已基本决定辞去日本首相一职，将在今天举行记者会见进行详细解释。 本交易日主要关注日本安倍晋三辞职传闻消息，日本首相安倍晋三将于北京时间16:00召开的记者会，晚间将有英国央行行长讲话。 亚洲时段行情回顾 亚盘时段，澳元兑美元大涨，汇价现报0.7292，涨幅0.45%；商品货币继续走高，澳元创19个月新高，因经济继续复苏，市场风险偏好情绪整体回暖，美元继续回落，同时，澳新银行上调澳元兑美元的预期；鉴于澳洲联储维稳，而中国经济复苏势头良好，澳元应该保持相对良好的表现，从长远来看，投资者应该逢低买入澳元；与此同时，澳元与全球股市的正相关关系预计将保持不变，这意味着如果目前的股市上涨趋势在未来几个月持续下去，那么澳元将受益。 亚盘时段，美元兑日元回落80余点，汇价现报106.4，跌幅0.16%；美元兑日元一度创两周新高，因市场此前预计他将表明继续担任首相的意愿，但最新据日本广���协会电视台28日报道，安倍晋三因为自身健康原因，已基本决定辞去日本首相一职，将在今天举行记者会见进行详细解释。安倍晋三本月17日和24日到庆应大学医院就诊，由于他被“溃疡性大肠炎”慢性病纠缠已久，近日一再入院检查，他的健康状况乃至政治前途引起大关注。 亚盘时段，现货黄金探底回升20余美元，现货黄金现报1943.86美元/盎司，涨幅0.74%；现货黄金延续日内涨势交投于1940美元上方高位，美联储鸽派立场仍未改变，但长期名义利率或将面临上行压力，这或将对金价未来的上涨造成一定的阻力，但通胀预期的回升将利好金银比进一步下行。且此前传闻称日本首相安倍晋三将辞职，这叠加了周末之前本已存在的市场避险需求，推动金价继续受到支撑。 亚盘时段，国际油价高位震荡，美油现报43.01美元/桶，跌幅0.07%；布伦特原油现报45.66美元/桶，涨幅0.13%；席卷美国德克萨斯和路易斯安那州石油行业核心地带的飓风强度不及预期。AxiCorp市场策略师Stephen Innes在一份报告中称，损失评估仍在继续，除非石油生产基础设施遭到持续破坏，否则风暴过后油价小幅下跌也并不令人意外。在风暴到来前，美国生产商已经关闭了156万桶/日的原油产能，占墨西哥湾总产能的83%。另外九家炼油商已经关闭了大约290万桶/日的产能，占美国炼油产能的15%。周四晚上，休斯敦港口正准备重启商业运输。该港口是美国最大的原油出口枢纽，运输能力约为60万桶/日。炼油业务方面，消息人士称，埃克森美孚准备重启德州博蒙特加工能力36.9万桶/日的炼油厂。  亚洲股市行情一览 财经数据 财经大事 日本自民党高级官员将于15:00（北京时间14:00）举行会议。 时间待定 日本首相安倍晋三计划举行记者会，或谈及身体状况。 21:05  英国央行行长贝利发表讲话。 亚洲时段消息回顾 美国民主党与白宫的刺激法案谈判仍未取得突破；① 美国众议院议长南希·佩洛西和白宫幕僚长Mark Meadows周四就陷入僵局的刺激法案谈判进行了三周来的首次交谈，双方依然没有取得任何突破。② 佩洛西说，民主党不会让步，白宫和共和党议员必须提高刺激方案的规模。“当他们准备这样做时，我们会准备就细节进行谈判和讨论。”③ 佩洛西表示，双方仍陷在“可悲的僵局中”，因为政府不承认专家和科学家都认为必须要提供的财政支持规模。民主党人愿意将3.4万亿美元的刺激法案规模减少到2.2万亿美元。而共和党人拟议的刺激法案规模只有1万亿美元左右。④ Meadows周三预测， 在9月底前不会与众议院民主党人就刺激法案达成协议，而且未来可能需要实施一些权宜措施，以便在10月1日以后继续为联邦政府提供资金，避免政府出现停摆。⑤ 对州和地方政府的援助，与学校完全开放挂钩的救助条件，以及每周的补充失业保险金是导致两党谈判僵持的几个最主要问题。民主党希望为州和地方政府提供9150亿美元资金，并把每周600美元的补充失业救济金维持到2021年，这大大超出了共和党的意愿。白宫的提议是向各州和地方政府拨款1500亿美元。  安倍晋三已基本决定辞去日本首相一职；据日本广播协会电视台28日报道，安倍晋三因为自身健康原因，已基本决定辞去日本首相一职，将在今天傍晚举行记者会见进行详细解释。 (人民日报)  美联储布拉德：美联储可能允许通胀率达到2.5%以弥补过去的不足；① 圣路易斯联储主席布拉德（James Bullard）说：“如果你想保持1995年至2012年确立的价格水平路线，你可能需要一段时间2.5%的通胀率。我们将尽力弥补过去的不足，但这要由委员会决定，而现在有不同意见”② Bullard表示，“委员会认为，让通胀在一段时间内高于目标以弥补以往的不足是明智的，然后，预料到这一点的市场将会把通胀预期固定在2%水平”③ Bullard称，美联储多年来一直未达到其2%的通胀目标，“我们认为这是因为有效下限会随着时间的推移拉低平均通胀率”。  安倍：力争到2021年中期，所有公民获得足够的疫苗；日本首相安倍晋三周五宣布了应对新冠病毒的新措施，其中包括将检测能力提高到每天20万次检测，并力争到2021年中期让所有公民获得足够的疫苗。 安倍晋三还表示，将从9月1日开始允许具有居留身份的外国人进入日本。 （中国日报） 波动率与股指罕见一并跳升 为美国股市亮起警灯；① Sundial Capital Research Inc．总裁Jason Goepfert报告表示，周三时芝加哥期权交易所波动率指数（Cboe Volatility Index， 简称VIX）涨幅超过5%，同时标普500指数上涨逾1%创下纪录新高，这种情况还是约二十年以来首次出现。② 他补充道，过往历史表明发生这种情形时，接下来的一个月股市跌幅中值一般会在1.2%。  欧洲央行首席经济学家：如果通胀目标需要，欧洲央行将调整政策；① 欧洲央行首席经济学家Philip Lane周四表示，欧洲央行的政策有助于把欧元区经济带上复苏正轨，根据通胀前景，必要时央行会对政策做进一步调整。② Lane在杰克逊霍尔年会上表示，“货币政策挑战包括两个阶段。一旦负面冲击已被充分抵消，第二阶段将确保适当调整疫情后的货币政策立场，以便及时向中期通胀目标靠拢”。③ 在Lane发表上述言论的几小时前，美联储主席鲍威尔公布了一种制定货币政策的新策略，可能会导致未来几年持续的低利率。鲍威尔说， 美联储将力求使通货膨胀率在较长一段时间内保持在平均2％的水平，这意味着在通胀率一段时期低迷后，美联储将允许通胀率超调。④ 欧洲央行也正在对货币政策策略进行评估，可能会改变维持物价稳定的使命。多年来，欧元区的通胀率一直未能达到略低于2％的目标。⑤ Lane说：“欧洲央行管理委员会随时准备适当调整所有政策工具。此外，应对疫情过程中吸取的新教训也将纳入我们对货币政策策略的评估之中”。  对美国经济的担忧加剧，超级富豪投资者俱乐部以现金为王；① 美国一群亿万富豪投资者正以前所未有的水平持有现金。有800多名投资者会员的俱乐部Tiger 21周四报告称，由于对美国经济受新冠疫情影响的前景感到担忧，成员总资产规模中的现金比例已提高至19%，疫情爆发伊始这个比例在12%左右。该组织表示，目前大约四分之一的成员预计危机将持续到明年6月底。② 该俱乐部主席Michael Sonnenfeldt表示，“持有现金比例上升是不同寻常的变化——从统计上讲，这是Tiger 21有史以来最大，最快的资产配置变化，在努力谨慎建立资源的同时，会员也积累了流动性，并且不会立即在这些领域再投资，以保持现金挺过这场风暴。”该俱乐部会员资产规模通常在1亿美元以上。③ 美国是受新冠疫情影响最严重的国家之一，死亡人数已达到近18万。第二季度该国经济经历了史上最严重的衰退，如果国会不能在今年秋季拿出1万亿至2万亿美元的纾困计划，经济将持续放缓。④ Tiger 21会员通常每月举行一次小型聚会分享观点，并就通常保守长期的投资展开辩论。报告称，即使多数人预计新冠危机将在今年持续存在，对美国长期经济前景仍然充满信心，并且仍在寻找“巨大的上升机会”  美国经济逐步重启，但就业市场疗伤速度缓慢；① 在过去一周中，小企业的人员配置、各行各业的工作排班和企业的空缺职位数量依然表现低迷，说明美国就业市场遭遇疫情重创后，复原的速度仍相当缓慢。② Homebase提供的截止8月23日当周小企业人员配置数据下滑；而根据Kronos提供的排班数据显示，多个行业的排班数量仅略微增加。③ 8月22日止当周初请失业金人数减少9.8万人，但仍超过100万。④ High Frequency Economics首席美国经济分析师Rubeela Farooqi表示，即便企业已经重新开门经���，工作岗位也有所回升，但裁员还在继续，反映出疫情对经济活动的干扰可能导致永久性的企业关门和就业流失，就业市场遭遇永久伤害的风险依然很高。⑤ 尽管过去一周的排班数量较此前一周增加1.2%，但这一增幅是来自学校重新开放。Chmura Economics整理的8月17日止当周空缺职位数量减少。⑥ 手机追踪公司Unacast和Safegraph数据分别显示，零售店客流量过去一周增加约1%和4.3%。⑦ 就业市场疲态有可能是对经济复苏力道和持续性的预警信号，经济复苏势头在5月和6月开始增强，而且早于预期，但随着美国南部和西南部疫情反弹，经济复苏势头有所减缓。  美国申请失业救济人数恢复下降，但美国劳动力市场形势依然严峻；① 在经历了前一周的意外上升后，上周美国申请州失业救济金的人数出现减少，表明随着新冠疫情缓和，劳动力市场开始逐步恢复正轨。② 该报告表明，在新冠病例增长放缓之际，就业市场将继续逐步复苏，下周公布的非农报告预计将显示8月份就业净增160万。不过，申请失业金人数仍远远高于疫情爆发前水平，而政府对于企业的财政支持减弱，国会无法就支持企业和失业者的刺激法案达成协议，都可能阻止就业市场的进一步回暖。③ 德意志银行的美国资深经济学家Brett Ryan表示，“有证据表明，那些开始失去州福利的人正在转向申请联邦福利”，这仍然显示出劳动力市场形势严峻，虽然8月前景仍然乐观，但是复苏步伐正在放缓。④ 周四公布的另一项数据报告显示，美国第二季度GDP降幅略小于初值，但由于修正后降幅依然是大萧条以来最大，所以并没有给市场带来多少安慰。⑤ High Frequency Economics的首席美国经济学家Rubeela Farooqi表示，即使企业已经重开，就业岗位恢复，但裁员现象依然持续，这是因为防疫措施对经济活动的干扰可能导致企业永久性关门，就业市场遭遇持久性伤害的可能性较高，这将拖累经济复苏步伐  特朗普正式接受共和党总统候选人提名：对美国未来4年的光明未来充满信心；在美国共和党全国代表大会上，特朗普正式接受共和党2020大选总统候选人提名并发表演讲。据美国有线电视新闻网（CNN）报道，特朗普在白宫南草坪发表接受提名演讲，他在演讲中说道：“因为你们的支持，今晚我站在你们面前，为我们在过去伟大的4年里共同取得的非凡进步感到自豪，并对我们将在未来4年为美国建设光明未来充满信心。”（环球网）  机构观点 杰克逊霍尔研讨会论文：新冠疫情可能给经济留下持久创伤；① 根据堪萨斯城联储年度货币政策研讨会上公布的一篇研究论文，由于企业和家庭转变行为方式，新冠疫情将给美国经济留下持久创伤。② 这篇题为“伤痕累累的身心：新冠对信念造成的长期伤痕效应”的论文通过研究诸多模型得出结论称，企业和家庭行为受到的长期影响将是深远的。受疫情影响，往常在怀俄明州杰克逊霍尔举行的研讨会今年改为网上举行。③ 圣路易斯联储的Julian Kozlowski、哥伦比亚大学的Laura Veldkamp和纽约大学斯特恩商学院的Venky Venkateswaran在论文中表示，“这场危机将对美国经济造成巨大而持续的不利影响，而且远超直接后果。”④ 尽管可以通过一些政策措施来缓解长期影响，但这篇论文反映了对疫苗研制成功后美国人仍不愿冒险的担忧。论文指出，十多年前的楼市崩盘以及1990年代日本资产价格暴跌，都引发了支出和借款行为的改变。⑤ 最引人注目的结论之一是，即便经济从短期打击中复苏，长远来看，美国经济产出仍可能减少3%至4%。⑥ 此文中心论点是人们会凭借过往经验来估计风险。巨大的冲击可能会重塑他们的信念，家庭和企业就可能在决策时更多考虑这种危险发生的可能性。  高盛：美联储9月或调整前瞻指引和资产购买计划；通胀率短期内很难超过目标水平。现在美国失业率高于10%，经济仍未从疫情带来的冲击中恢复。鉴于美联储的新策略，高盛首席经济学家Jan Hatzius表示，目前他预计9月份会议上美联储可能会调整前瞻指引和资产购买计划。  瑞银财富管理：美联储新政料加大美元贬值空间，或助欧元挑战1.20美元；① 瑞银财富管理投资总监办公室在周五报告中说，美国联邦公开市场委员会（FOMC）公布了更新长期目标声明及货币政策策略，新货币政策加大了美元的贬值空间。② 欧洲央行至今容许通胀“低于但接近2%”，美联储当前跟欧洲央行出现了根本性差距，美联储至今未曾实施过负政策利率，在2015至2019年经济改善期间甚至加息，因此塑造了美元独特的避险角色，在上个周期也是相对高收益的货币。③ 新政策框架显示美联储在重启加息周期前，将更耐心等待经济复苏，此不单意味美元的贬值空间加大，重塑美元独特性的概率也下降了。④ 欧元兑美元在消息公布后冲高回落；预期欧元继续在1.15至1.20美元间震荡只有当欧洲及全球经济持续复苏，汇率才有较强的突破能力，但美联储新政策框架料将助力欧元挑战1.20美元关口。 美联储对通胀和就业持更宽松立场，或导致未来数年持续低利率；① 美联储主席鲍威尔宣布了一种制定货币政策的新策略，将允许通货膨胀率在一段时间内超过传统上允许的水平，此举可能会导致未来几年持续的低利率。② 鲍威尔说， 美联储将力求使通货膨胀率在较长一段时间内保持在平均2％的水平，这意味着在通胀率一段时期低迷后，美联储将允许通胀率超调。此外，美联储还调整了对就业最大��问题的看法，以推动劳动力市场实现更广泛的增长。③ 鲍威尔在杰克逊霍尔年度央行政策研讨会上发表讲话称：“实现就业最大化是一个广泛的，包容性的目标。这一变化反映出我们对强劲劳动力市场所带来好处的肯定，特别是对于中低收入社群的许多人。”④ 鲍威尔说， 美联储将对通货膨胀采取更宽松的立场。⑤ 新策略旨在应对多年来过低的通货膨胀率。它赋予了美联储更大灵活性，相比过去，美联储将可以容忍更加强劲的就业市场及更高的通胀膨胀率。⑥ ING Financial Markets的首席国际经济学家James Knightley表示，“他们真的、真的、真的短期内不会提高利率，美联储的意思是利率会在更长一段时间内保持低位，不用担心通胀率上升”。  澳新银行：鲍威尔讲话后美元利空暂出尽，欧元及英镑后市或承压；① 澳新银行分析师指出，在美联储主席鲍威尔周四的讲话后，美元指数的短线政策利空已经基本得到释放，而与此同时欧洲第二波疫情还在进一步爆发，因此欧元及英镑在未来一段时间或面临更强的见顶下行压力；② 全球经济前景仍然不甚明朗，这会令美元的避险需求在此后继续维持在一定程度上，从而导致非美货币承压。同时，英国与欧盟的过渡期谈判进入最后冲刺，这一状况又会让欧系货币承受更大的压力，���抵消因为大选选情纷争而令美元汇价同样承受的压力。 太平洋投资管理公司：美元下跌才刚刚开始，亚洲货币将上涨；① 太平洋投资管理公司(Pimco)表示，美元下跌才刚刚开始，这个全球储备货币兑新兴市场货币有进一步的下跌空间。② Pimco驻香港的投资组合经理Stephen Chang称，虽然美元兑主要货币下跌，但在贸易加权基础上仍上涨约2%，并强于2019年平均水平。他一个重要的里程碑将是美国新刺激计划的通过。③ Chang说，“我们仍处于美元贬值的初期，需要注意的一个重要因素是美国是否会通过第四阶段的财政刺激方案，否则，财政支持的中断将导致重大的风险规避和美元看涨事件。”④ 随着特朗普政府竭力控制疫情，美联储承诺提供无限流动性以支持疲软的经济，美元承受的压力越来越大。自3月高点以来已下跌10％，对冲基金在两年来首次对美元转向看空。⑤ 除了一项创纪录规模的刺激措施外，美国国会还试图打破对一项新协议的僵局。⑥ 虽然大多数发达国家的货币都从美元贬值中受益，但亚洲货币走势滞后。亚洲的周期性复苏应该会使这些货币跑赢，特别是韩国和中国已经对公共卫生状况做出了很好的应对。由于风险偏好改善推动了对资产的需求，人民币和韩元都有望兑美元连续第三个月上涨。 青空银行：美联储低利率承诺使得美元下行趋势保持不变；① 青空银行(Aozora Bank)外汇产品经理Akita Moroga表示，伴随美联储将短期利率长时间维持在较低水平的承诺，美元的下行趋势依然未变。② Akita Moroga称，美联储有意维持宽松立场并压低短期收益率，那会使长期收益率的上行空间受限，因此美元的长期下行趋势依然没有改变”③ 美元兑日元会受到美国国债收益率上升的支撑，但是收益率的这种升势可能会出现逆转，因为低而稳定的短期利率会限制收益率曲线变陡，并使长期收益率限定在一定的区间④ 美元兑日元料会维持在105-107的区间之内，日内更大的关注焦点是北京时间16:00开始的安倍新闻发布会，因为市场行情中没有反映出安倍辞职的预期；但是在其任期还有一年，众议院任期也还有大约一年时间的情况下，安倍是否会暗示选举时间，这是一个更大的风险。 原油和汽油价格下跌，因飓风劳拉对炼油行业伤害不大；① 油价下跌，因飓风劳拉进入路易斯安那州，德克萨斯州墨西哥湾沿岸地区基本安然无恙，主要能源基础设施免遭重大损失；4级飓风劳拉登陆周四早间在路易斯安那州卡梅伦附近登陆，目前已经减弱为热带风暴；② 尽管这场风暴导致数十万人停电，并影响化工和液化天然气工厂，但德克萨斯州东南部的港口和炼油厂可能躲过了最坏的情况；周四美原油期货下跌不到1%，而汽油期货跌幅超过5%；美元走强也降低了对以美元定价的大宗商品的吸引力；③ Price Futures Group.高级市场分析师菲尔·弗林说，“破坏没有预期的那么严重，这给整个能源领域带来了更大的抛售压力，汽油价格下跌意味着炼油利润率可能恶化，意味着没有太多动机来迅速大量炼油”。  高盛：预计美联储到2025年才会加息；美国申请失业救济人数恢复下降，但美国劳动力市场形势依然严峻① 在经历了前一周的意外上升后，上周美国申请州失业救济金的人数出现减少，表明随着新冠疫情缓和，劳动力市场开始逐步恢复正轨。② 该报告表明，在新冠病例增长放缓之际，就业市场将继续逐步复苏，下周公布的非农报告预计将显示8月份就业净增160万。不过，申请失业金人数仍远远高于疫情爆发前水平，而政府对于企业的财政支持减弱，国会无法就支持企业和失业者的刺激法案达成协议，都可能阻止就业市场的进一步回暖。③ 德意志银行的美国资深经济学家Brett Ryan表示，“有证据表明，那些开始失去州福利的人正在转向申请联邦福利”，这仍然显示出劳动力市场形势严峻，虽然8月前景仍然乐观，但是复苏步伐正在放缓。④ 周四公布的另一项数据报告显示，美国第二季度GDP降幅略小于初值，但由于修正后降幅依然是大萧条以来最大，所以并没有给市场带来多少安慰。⑤ High Frequency Economics的首席美国经济学家Rubeela Farooqi表示，即使企业已经重开，就业岗位恢复，但裁员现象依然持续，这是因为防疫措施对经济活动的干扰可能导致企业永久性关门，就业市场遭遇持久性伤害的可能性较高，这将拖累经济复苏步伐。

My Favorite Album #227 - Elizabeth Cook on Neil Young ‘Zuma’ (1975)

Sharp of tongue and deep of soul, one of Nashville’s most compelling singer-songwriters joins me to talk about an underrated Neil Young and Crazy Horse classic, ‘Zuma’.

We talk about how Elizabeth discovered the album on a road trip, the elusive concision of Young’s lyrics, how this record defines a certain version of his sound, how the album documents the end of Neil Young’s creative grieving over guitarist Danny Whitten, how Elizabeth wants to steer her future recordings in a Neil-ward direction and what it was like to be a witness to the taping of the ‘Heart of Gold’ concert film.
