W tym roku kolej żelazna w Świdnicy obchodzi podwójny jubileusz związany ze 180. rocznicą uruchomienia połączenia kolejowego z Jaworzyną Śląską oraz 120. rocznicą otwarcia linii kolejowej ze Świdnicy do Jedliny-Zdroju.

W połowie XIX wieku budowa kolei oznaczała przede wszystkim rozwój danego regionu i wzrost zamożności jego mieszkańców, a także swego rodzaju nobilitację dla miasta przez które przechodziła. Dzięki budowie kolei Świdnica uzyskała nie tylko połączenie z najważniejszymi miastami Śląska i państwa pruskiego a także dzięki późniejszemu zagęszczeniu sieci uzyskano mocniejszy związek z okalającymi Świdnicę miejscowościami.

Doskonałe położenie miasta w pobliżu węzła w Jaworzynie Śląskiej spowodowało podjęcie decyzji o ulokowaniu w mieście zakładów naprawczych taboru kolejowego, które z czasem przekształcono w działającą do dziś nowoczesną fabrykę produkującą różnego rodzaju wagony towarowe. Tak jak i cała polska kolej również kolej w Świdnicy miała okresy świetności i upadku naznaczonego stopniowym pogarszaniem oferty przewozowej a w końcu likwidacją połączeń do Wrocławia i Jedliny - Zdroju. Na szczęście w chwili obecnej kolej w Świdnicy po wielu latach zaniedbań i zapaści wróciła na właściwe tory i ponownie odgrywa znacząca rolę jako ważny środek transportu.

Z okazji tego podwójnego jubileuszu Muzeum Dawnego Kupiectwa w Świdnicy przygotowało wystawę ukazującą świdnicką kolej w czasach jej rozkwitu i świetności oraz upadku i ponownego rozwoju. Pokazuje także zatrzymane w kadrze dawnych pocztówek piękno przechodzących przez miasto linii kolejowych, zarówno biegnącej skrajem Sudetów magistrali z Legnicy do Kędzierzyna-Koźla jak i biegnącej przez Góry Sowie malowniczej linii Doliny Bystrzycy ze Świdnicy do Jedliny – Zdroju.

Na ekspozycji nie zabraknie starych rozkładów jazdy, biletów kartonikowych, map, czapek i innych eksponatów związanych z koleją. Zaprezentowane zostaną także modele składów pociągów kursujących w przeszłości oraz w chwili obecnej przez Świdnicę. Ponadto zwiedzający wystawę będą mogli poczuć się jak maszynista prowadzący pociąg, a to za sprawą nagrania video przedstawiającego przejazd zrewitalizowaną trasą ze Świdnicy do Jedliny - Zdroju., które będzie wyświetlane przed wejściem do sali wystaw czasowych.

Partnerami wystawy, którzy wsparli jej organizację oraz udostępnili swoje zbiory i eksponaty są Koleje Dolnośląskie S.A., Wagony Świdnica sp. z o.o., Muzeum Kolejnictwa na Śląsku w Jaworzynie Śląskiej, Portal internetowy Świdnica - Moje Miasto, Portal internetowy POLSKA-ORG.PL, Sowiogórskie Bractwo Kolejowe, a także pani Anna Scheer oraz panowie Adam Pacześniak, Grzegorz Sztetner, Mariusz Plewka, Jarosław Szczuryk vel Szczerba.

Wystawę będzie można oglądać od 5 października do 24 listopada 2024 roku od wtorku do piątku od 10:00 do 16:00 oraz w soboty i niedziele od 11:00 do 17:00. Bilet normalny kosztuje 12 zł, a ulgowy - 8 zł, w piątki wstęp wolny. Specjalna promocja będzie też dla osób, które przyjadą do Świdnicy pociągiem. Każda osoba taka osoba, która w kasie muzealnej pokaże bilet kolejowy w formie papierowej lub elektronicznej będzie mogła zwiedzić Muzeum w cenie biletu ulgowego.

If this year’s election has you down, if you’ve had quite enough of politicians saying inane things and then calling you cynical, perhaps it’s because this year’s election offers very little hope that we can use it as an opportunity to trade up.

Elections sometimes give us a chance at a better government, or at least a realistic hope for one. A lot of Canadians felt they were trading up when Trudeau became prime minister in 2015. Others felt it when Brian Mulroney became PM in 1984.

Sometimes even when governments don’t change, there’s room for optimism. The third victory of Jean Chrétien’s Liberals in 2000 sent both the era’s conservative parties and the NDP back to the drawing board. They returned with Stephen Harper and Jack Layton, each of whom won growing shares of the popular vote for four consecutive elections starting in 2004. Chrétien’s re-election led by a short road to Lucien Bouchard’s resignation as Quebec premier and, not long after, to a nearly unbroken 15 years of federalist government in Quebec.

This year the election offers no such hope for short-term improvement.

After watching him for four years, I think it’s fair to say Justin Trudeau has not provided very good government. After watching for half the campaign, I also think it’s not realistic to assume Andrew Scheer’s Conservatives would be more thoughtful or imaginative. Or that Jagmeet Singh and Elizabeth May are detail people. Or that Trudeau has learned, and would apply if he were re-elected, any useful lessons from his increasingly laborious slog through his time in office.

Which means this election won’t settle much. It will be interesting to see who wins, in the sense that it’s distracting to watch a long series of coin tosses. But no matter who wins, a better-governed Canada seems unlikely. “You walk into the voting booth and each time you pull the little lever there is implicit in the gesture a tiny leap of faith,” the New York Times columnist Anna Quindlen wrote in her column for the day Bill Clinton was elected in 1992. “And this time some hope as well.” We don’t have levers in Canadian elections, and this year not much hope either.

Enchanted Modernities: Theosophy, the Arts and the American West, edited by Sarah Victoria Turner, Christopher M. Scheer and James G. Mansell, Fulgur Press, 2019. Cover painting by Agnes Pelton, info: fulgur.co.uk.

When the occult came to the American West: individualism and magic in the art of California, from Agnes Pelton to Jess. “It is in America that the transformation will take place, and has already silently commenced.” With these words, written in The Secret Doctrine in 1888, occultist philosopher Helena Blavatsky drew a direct connection between the Theosophical Society and the dynamic energy of 19th-century Americanism. Blavatsky and her successors identified the American West as the perfect site for a rebirth and re-enchantment of humanity, drawing those seeking spiritual fulfilment outside of organized religion to the dramatic landscapes of California, Arizona, Utah and New Mexico―places which have long beckoned searchers of all kinds. The syncretic nature of Theosophy allowed for and even encouraged individualism in belief, making Theosophy a good fit for the notions of freedom and personal agency that characterized the American West in the popular imaginary. Among those drawn to the American West seeking spiritual answers in the early 20th century were artists. In 2014, the Nora Eccles Harrison Museum at Utah State University staged the first exhibition to explore artistic responses to this confluence of enchanted thought and the American West. Building on this precedent, Enchanted Modernities: Theosophy, the Arts and the American West is the first publication devoted to studying these relationships in art and music. Through a series of color plates, contextual essays, interviews and interpretations of individual works by artists such as the Dynaton group (Wolfgang Paalen, Gordon Onslow Ford, Lee Mullican), Oskar Fischinger, Emil Bisttram, Lawren Harris, Raymond Jonson, Agnes Pelton, Wolfgang Paalen, Beatrice Wood, Dane Rudhyar and Jess, Enchanted Modernities explores the role of Theosophical thought in redefining the relationship between enchantment and modernism, and fostering lively cultural networks in a region that that has long captured the world’s imagination.

“The Ugg he came up with was better than the Ugg we had envisioned,” they say regarding Scheer’s voice-over work, before gushing over Efron’s work as Gary: “I think a lot of people who watch his movies and have seen him, um, shirtless, might consider him a perfect candidate to play Ugg, who’s the ultimate alpha male. But once you get to know Zac, you realize he’s has a lot more to offer than just a really, really impressive set of abs. He’s smart, considerate, introspective and, just like the rest of us, neurotic about the small things in life. He really is an everyman, and incredibly relatable on a personal level. Zac is the perfect Gary, because, deep down, he is Gary.”

A who’s-who of Oscar nominees, A-listers and top Hollywood executives came out to support the Motion Picture & Television Fund at its 17th annual “Night Before” party, which raised $5 million in support of the MPTF.

One of the key events of Oscar weekend, the “Night Before” party, held Saturday on the Fox Studios lot in Los Angeles and co-sponsored by The Hollywood Reporter, drew past Oscar winners including Mahershala Ali (also a current nominee, who came with wife Amatus Sami-Karim), George Clooney, Viola Davis  (with husband Julius Tennon), Leonardo DiCaprio, Marcia Gay Harden, Allison Janney and Octavia Spencer.

Among the 2019 Oscar nominees who were at the event were Amy Adams (with husband Darren Le Gallo), Yalitza Aparicio, Glenn Close, Willem Dafoe (with wife Giada Colagrande), Adam Driver (with wife Joanne Tucker), Richard E. Grant, Sam Elliott, Regina King, Spike Lee, Rami Malek and Viggo Mortensen.

Close, Grant and King made their way to the party just a few hours after collecting Film Independent Spirit Awards earlier in the day for best actress, best supporting actor and best supporting actress, respectively.

The 2019 host committee included a lineup of talent including Adams and Le Gallo, Ali, Tanya Haden Black and Jack Black, Kate Capshaw and Steven Spielberg, Amal and George Clooney, Close, Colagrande and Dafoe, Bradley Cooper, Tom Cruise, DiCaprio, Lady Gaga, Janney, King, Malek, Mortensen, Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith, Rachel Weisz, Rita Wilson and Tom Hanks, Reese Witherspoon and Jim Toth, and Constance Wu.

Other A-listers at the exclusive, invitation-only bash included event maestro Jeffrey Katzenberg, who serves as chairman of the MPTF Foundation, along with recent Golden Globe/Emmy/SAG Award winner Darren Criss (with new wife Mia Swier), Chris Evans, Tiffany Haddish, Jon Hamm, Mindy Kaling, Keegan-Michael Key and producer wife Elisa Pugliese, Helen Mirren, Mike Myers, Christopher Nolan and Taylor Swift with boyfriend (The Favourite actor) Joe Alwyn, in addition to past Oscar nominees Ava DuVernay, Samuel L. Jackson, Carey Mulligan, Anna Paquin with husband Stephen Moyer, Will Smith with wife Jada Pinkett Smith and Hailee Steinfeld.

Black Panther stars Angela Bassett, Chadwick Boseman, Danai Gurira, Michael B. Jordan also came out to support the cause, as did Crazy Rich Asians stars Michelle Yeoh, Awkwafina, Henry Golding and Constance Wu.

Top executives including Disney CEO Bob Iger and studio chair Alan Horn, Comcast CEO Brian Roberts (with Universal’s Ron Meyer), WarnerMedia CEO John Stankey and Warner Bros. CEO Kevin Tsujihara, Netflix chief content officer Ted Sarandos, Universal Pictures chair Donna Langley, Sony Pictures chair Tom Rothman and Paramount Pictures CEO Jim Gianopulos also were at the bash, where guests enjoyed specialty foods from Carmelized Productions by Jon Shook & Vinny Dotolo.

Funds raised during the “Night Before” party are used to support the MPTF, which assists industry members in Hollywood of all ages by providing financial assistance, crisis counseling, caregiving support and the retirement facility in Woodland Hills that film and TV veterans call “home.”

In total, the annual event has raised more than $85 million since its inception in 2003.

THR returned as one of the presenting sponsors of the event alongside Delta Air Lines, Ford Motor Company, L'Oréal USA, Target, Yahoo! and YouTube. This marked THR's sixth year as the sole media sponsor of the party.

“We’re incredibly grateful for the generosity of the presenting sponsors and donors for making the ‘Night Before’ an amazing evening, one that once again brings the industry together in the spirit of a community that truly takes care of its own,” Katzenberg said. 

The long list of stars at the party also included Malin Akerman, Joe Alwyn, Anthony Anderson, Billy Baldwin, Elizabeth Banks, Camilla Belle, Greg Berlanti, Julie Bowen, Amy Brenneman, Billy Brown, Dan Bucatinsky, Mark Burnett, Ty Burrell, Ross Butler, Linda Cardellini, Anthony Carrigan, Erika Christensen, Ciara, Chase Crawford, Terry Crews, Rory Culkin, Josh Dallas, Nina Dobrev, Winston Duke, Billy Eichner, Cynthia Erivo, Patrick Fabian, Taissa Farmiga, Fortune Feimster, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, America Ferrera, Andy Garcia, Danny Glover, Meagan Good, Ginnifer Goodwin, Topher Grace, Kat Graham, Kelsey Grammar, Max Greenfield, Jonathan Groff, Savannah Guthrie, Regina Hall, Ben Hardy, Laura Harrier, Patricia Heaton, Christina Hendricks, Sam Heughan, Cheryl Hines, Julianne Hough, Nicholas Hoult, Vanessa Hudgens, Gillian Jacobs, Jake Johnson, Zoe Kazan, Machine Gun Kelly, Jaime King, Heidi Klum, T.R.
