JR is a fatherless boy growing up in the glow of a bar where the bartender, his Uncle Charlie, is the sharpest and most colorful of an assortment of quirky and demonstrative father figures. As the boy’s determined mother struggles to provide her son with opportunities denied to her — and leave the dilapidated home of her outrageous if begrudgingly supportive father — JR begins to gamely, if not always gracefully, pursue his romantic and professional dreams, with one foot persistently placed in Uncle Charlie’s bar.

Hall Costume Design: Jenny Eagan Casting: Rachel Tenner Movie Reviews: r96sk: So very plain. To be honest: I found ‘The Tender Bar’ to be a bore. I felt like I had seen this film before, such is the predictable and monotonous nature of the story. It almost felt like a (poorer) rerun of 2020’s ‘Hillbilly Elegy‘. I will say, though, that Ben Affleck gives a very good performance in this, to the point that I actually would’ve liked to have seen a story revolving around him and his character – as opposed to who this 2021 flick is about. Aside from Affleck, I didn’t care for any of the other performances and therefore any of the other characters. It’s not even a bad film, it’s just so, so boring – for me, anyway. CinemaSerf: It’s not often I find myself writing this, but Ben Affleck is comfortably the best thing about this otherwise rather lacklustre adaptation of JR Moehringer’s autobiographical coming of age tale. It depicts the story of his childhood – through the eyes of the engaging young Daniel Ranieri – before he heads to Yale in the guise of Tye Sheridan. The first half hour, maybe, is quite entertaining. This young lad living with his mother (his selfish father is estranged from them, living the mobile life of a late night radio talk show host) in the home of his mildly eccentric grandfather (Christopher Lloyd) and their home is a lively, buzzing environment in which the youngster thrives. Chief amongst the residents is his charismatic, worldly-wise uncle “Charlie” (Affleck) who runs a local bar populated with a decent, working-class clientele who take to the young man and encourage his obvious academic talents. That half hour peters out, ...

Cortesia de Tiffany Wai-Ying Beres e da Família Pong.

"Nancy Sheung (chinês :常惠珍; 1914–1979) foi uma fotógrafa de Hong Kong conhecida por suas linhas ousadas e foco frequente em temas femininos. Ela foi mais ativa nas décadas de 1960 e 1970.

Sheung casou-se com o comerciante Pong Kuan-Wah em meados da década de 1930. Juntos mudaram-se para Hong Kong , onde tiveram seis filhos. Sheung fundou e dirigiu uma empresa de construção, às vezes atuando como o principal ganha-pão da família. No final da década de 1950, a indústria da construção desacelerou devido a uma economia lenta, dando a Sheung mais tempo para se concentrar em sua fotografia.

Depois de visitar de uma exposição de fotografia europeia na década de 1950, Sheung se interessou por fotografia aos 40 anos. Ela comprou sua primeira câmera, uma Rolleiflex, e foi aprendiz de Michael Leung, um proeminente fotógrafo local. Ela ingressou na Sociedade Fotográfica de Hong Kong em 1965, tornando-se sua vice-presidente na década de 1970.

.

Sheung é conhecida como uma das poucas fotógrafas de Hong Kong nas décadas de 1960 e 1970; a maioria de seus contemporâneos eram homens. Ela também é conhecida por usar linhas dinâmicas e ousadas; retratos de mulheres; olho arquitetônico; e imagens da vida em Hong Kong. Alguns de seus trabalhos mais notáveis ​​incluem retratos de sua(s) filha(s): The Pigtail [foto acima], The Long-Haired Girl e Staircase. Outros trabalhos interessantes incluem Zigzag, Under the Cross, The Shadows e Drum Yard".

BOOKS I READ IN 2022 Mostly academic books I read for research purposes or to expand my knowledge of a topic, though this year was much more scattershot then 2021 in terms of topic, and I read a lot less. Indeed, this year, while there was a lot of books I loved and luxuriated in, or am proud I finished, there were a bunch of very frustrating or not particularly appealing academic works I almost regret reading, such as the Cavel & Noakes volume! Also, far more fiction - I somehow read sections from almost every volume of Christopher Tolkien's History of Middle Earth series. Generally, I read the majority of the book - monographs or collections where I read a single chapter or introduction aren’t included. I also included a few of the best or most interesting articles I read, though there are dozens and dozens more. Books marked with a cross are ones I particularly recommend.

Happy Birthday Scottish actress Shirley Henderson.

Shirley was born 24th November 1965 in Forres, Moray, but grew up in Kincardine, Fife, she began performing young and at the age of 13 found herself singing in a boxing ring between bouts after winning a local singing competition going on to sing in the local working men’s clubs on Saturday nights and Sunday afternoons.

After deciding upon acting as a career, she uprooted to London to study at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama.

After graduating in 1986 Henderson embarked upon a stage career that included spells at the National Theatre, the Royal Court, the Traverse, Hampstead, the Citizens, and the Whitehall Theatre.

Shirley is very fresh in my mind, I have just finished watching Hamish Macbeth where she played Isobel Sutherland, who was head over heels in Robert Carlyles character, though he didn’t know it, she bowed out in the penultimate episode.

There are very different roles that you might remember Shirley from, in my case she played Gail in the two Trainspotting films, if you need another reminder who she was, well remember Spud’s girlfriend and the incident with “dirty” bedding that he wanted to was and got into a tugging contest?

Other film fans will know Shirley as Moaning Myrtle in a couple of the Harry Potter films.  Romcom fans will know her for her role as Jude in Bridget Jones’s Diary  who is always in the ladies’ room crying about her boyfriend.

She has of course been in numerous other shows and films including Wish Me Luck, Casualty, The Bill, Rob Roy, Dr Who, Once Upon a Time in the Midlands, Happy Valley and more recently she plays Lucille Hardy, wife of Oliver in a new film out in January about the comedy duo, called Stan and Ollie.

Most recently Shirley appeared in The Nest about a teenage girl in Glasgow agrees to carry a baby for couple Dan and Emily, Martin Compston plays the lead role, it also starred Katie Leung who was in the Harry Potter films with her.

Shirley reprised her role as Saucy Nancy in the Worzel Gummidge reboot last year 

There’s a few things in the pipeline for Shirley,  The Trouble with Jessica a dark comedy film,   The ITV four-part drama, a reimagining of the 18th century book The History Of Tom Jones and   an upcoming American mystery film, See How They Run, which also stars Irish actress Saoirse Ronan, who you might recall was Mary Queen of Scots in the 2018 film.

New evidence suggests the novel coronavirus might be able to spread through the air. It also seems to be contagious even though people don’t have symptoms to show they are infected.  Those two worrisome findings led the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, last month, to recommend that everyone wear masks over their noses and mouths in public.

Explainer: What is a coronavirus?

With medical-grade masks in short supply, CDC recommended that these be reserved for health care workers. The public was advised to look for cloth masks they could buy or make at home.

The best guard against airborne viruses are known as N95 masks. These are what hospital workers sometimes use around people who may be sick. They are different from the masks that doctors and nurses wear in surgery. With N95 masks in short supply, the medical community has been asking the public to reserve their use for hospital teams and first responders.

But people can buy or make fabric masks. If a sick person wears one of these, the mask may catch most of their germy droplets of spit or nasal mucus. That could limit the virus from getting onto surfaces that others might touch. But these masks are designed to protect people from the mask-wearer, not the other way around.

And no mask is a replacement for hand washing and social distancing.

How well do cloth masks work?

Without masks, people sick with the new coronavirus can likely spread the germs even without coughing or sneezing. Just breathing can send some viruses into the air, data show. But fabric masks might capture some of that.

An international research group led by a team at the University of Hong Kong studied 246 people sick with viral infections. Some had coronaviruses (which cause the common cold). Others had rhinoviruses (which also cause the common cold) or influenza viruses. A few were infected by at least two different types of viruses.

See all our coverage of the new coronovirus outbreak

The researchers randomly assigned half of the people to wear surgical masks. Then the team measured viruses present in each person’s exhaled breaths. Between 30 and 40 percent of the people with coronavirus infections exhaled viruses if they wore no mask. But no virus was detected in breaths exhaled through a surgical mask. Those masks appeared just a bit less protective for people with the flu. And the masks made no difference in how much virus was exhaled by people with rhinovirus infections.

Nancy H.L. Leung and her team shared their findings April 3 in Nature Medicine. Those findings are important, but may not say how well cloth masks will work. The reason: Surgical masks are made from a nonwoven material. It’s different from the cotton and other fabrics used in cloth masks.

A cloth mask must filter out small particles but still be easy to breathe through. Some materials, such as vacuum-cleaner bags, filter well, but make breathing difficult, a 2013 study showed. Cotton T-shirts are a far more breathable fabric. And in this study, they filtered microbes roughly half as well as surgical masks. Another advantage of wearing such masks: They reminded wearers that they should not be touching their nose or mouth (which were now covered). For people interested in sewing their own masks, Johns Hopkins University has online directions.

Cloth masks don’t fit perfectly around the face. There will be gaps on the sides. Many people also don’t wear them properly (such as leaving their noses exposed while covering their mouth). That’s why JAMA Network published a whole webpage for the public on March 4 showing how masks should be worn during an epidemic such as COVID-19.

Top 10 tips to stay safe during an epidemic

Studies of surgical masks have demonstrated that they can block the large particles that fly straight out in front of the mouth. But small virus-laced droplets and other airborne particles can still shoot out of the sides and top of surgical masks. With cloth masks, some viruses may shoot straight through as well as around the sides and top. Another limit of all mask studies: No one has shown how many coronavirus particles are needed to start an infection.

For some viruses, as few as one virus may be enough. But even if a cloth mask filters out only 10 percent of virus particles, “in a pandemic, maybe it’s worth doing,” says Donald Milton. He’s an expert on infectious diseases at the University of Maryland School of Public Health, in College Park.

A mask of any sort may help capture some virus-laden droplets before they can enter the air. They also will reduce the forward force of the exhaled cloud of droplets, diverting flow and cutting turbulence. That should limit how far the particles can travel. But a mask “does not replace social distancing,” says Lydia Bourouiba of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge. “It is not high-grade protection that people should feel overconfident about.”
