Scrooge: A Christmas Carol (2022)

I actually watched this last year, but for some reason didn't review it. Anyway, I needed a re-watch to remember all the gory details.

This Netflix animation is a good one, friends. They've really hit their sweet spot with Christmas animation. It's the classic Christmas ghost story we know and love with Ebeneezer Scrooge (Luke Evans) introduced at the top as a miser with a soft spot for his dog, Prudence. Honestly, the addition of Prudence made this redemption arc a lot more believable for me. Anyway, so, Mr. Scrooge bumps into his nephew Harry Huffman (Fra Fee), who invites him to Christmas dinner as Mr. Scrooge is shaking down Tom Jenkins (Giles Terera) for 25 pounds on Christmas Eve. Of course, Tom Jenkins doesn't have it and Scrooge doesn't have patience for Tom or Harry (maybe he would for Dick, but who's to say), so Scrooge doubles his debt and heads back to his office with Bob Cratchit (Johnny Flynn).

As usual, the first ghost who visits Scrooge is his late business partner, Jacob Marley (Jonathan Pryce). He tells Scrooge about how his greed in life lead to him being chained in death and how Scrooge needs to change his ways to save himself.

Then, the ghost of Christmas Past (Olivia Colman) shows up and takes him through past Christmases with his sister Jen (Jemima Lucy Newman), his old love Isabel Fezziwig (Jessie Buckley), and his old boss Mr. Fezziwig (James Cosmo). Scrooge relives some of the best and worst moments of his life.

The second ghost, of course, is the ghost of Christmas Present (Trevor Dion Nicholas). Present shows him Harry's Christmas party that Scrooge blew off yet again where Harry's wife Hela Huffman (Sheena Bhattessa) goes on about how much Scrooge sucks. A similar scene unfolds at the Cratchit residence during toasts.

Finally, the silent ghost of Christmas Yet to Come takes Scrooge to the future where we find Tom Jenkins and all the other people who owe Scrooge money are celebrating his death with song and dance. Inappropriate, but I would do the same if one person dying meant my student loans stopped existing. Scrooge also discovers the unfortunate death of Tiny Tim Cratchit (Olliver Jenkins and Rupert Turnbull).

We know that when Ebeneezer Scrooge wakes up on Christmas day, he's a changed man and he saves Tiny Tim and makes up with his nephew Harry. It's a classic story told several times in several different ways. So what's special about this one? Well, the original songs are a nice touch. It's a little spooky, which it should be! It's a ghost story! The voice actors in this are phenomenal, and the animation is also really beautiful. Overall, 4.5 stars.

011/366 | 🔮 A Future Vision of Indie Publishing.

« 010/366 | 012/366 »

A couple of click throughs in this morning’s review triggered this post. It started here … 🔗 Substack Barely Does The Bare Minimum which linked to here … 🔗 gilest.org: Make the indie web easier which then linked to here … 🔗 gilest.org: More on the easier indie web

TL;DR

A few links to interesting places that are about the indie web - but with an undercurrent of something that I have been banging on about forEVER …

If we truly want to open up the web for everyone to publish on, we have to make it easier. Let’s give people choices. Let’s give people options for tools they can set up and use, with no more knowledge than the knowledge they already have.

💬 Giles Turnbull'

YES

There are a few - and indeed MicroBlog is one such example (that is not listed in those links) … although even MicroBlog has its challenges. I think the overall challenge is two fold; 1] It is not easy. - so requires significant resources to make it a reality. 2] Does ‘everybody’ care enough? - because if they don’t - I feel the TAM might be pretty small - and will include a large number of people already in the camp of what we have is good enough.

This is one of 366 daily posts that are planned to appear throughout the year of 2024. More context will follow.

Registe as regras não oficiais da sua equipa

Todos os locais de trabalho têm regras não oficiais. Por exemplo, se estiver numa videochamada com os seus colegas é correto desligar a câmara? Quando envia um email à sua chefia inclui emojis?

Durante períodos de maior stress, tal como o que vivemos atualmente, é prática registar as normas culturais e emocionais não oficiais que existem na equipa e/ou empresa. Estas regras podem ter sido alteradas desde que se iniciou o teletrabalho ou até podem nunca ter sido claras para todos. Por exemplo, pode achar que dar um passeio durante o dia de trabalho é algo razoável de se fazer, para aliviar a cabeça, no entanto, isto pode não ser claro para todos os seus colegas, principalmente os recém-contratados. Estas pequenas incertezas (Posso fazer uma pequena pausa?) podem-se tornar elementos de grande stress. Combatê-los é fundamental para ajudar todas as pessoas a sentirem-se seguras e apoiadas, principalmente na fase em que vivemos.

No livro No Hard Feelings uma das grandes sugestões é fazer uma lista “Não faz mal se...”. Tomamos conhecimento desta ideia através do escritor Giles Turnbull, que queria mostrar às novas contratações do Serviço Digital do Governo do Reino Unido, que não havia nenhum problema em pedir ajuda, cometer erros ou tirar dias de folga. O escritor fez um esboço de uma lista, pediu aos colegas para acrescentar ideias e depois colocou posters no seu gabinete com estas ideias. Na lista final é possível encontrar ideias como: “Não faz mal se ...”

Dizer que não percebemos;

Não saber tudo;

Ter dias mais calmos;

Perguntar porquê e porque não;

Pedir à direção para solucionar o problema.

 Estas listas já existem em alguns locais de trabalho, mas nem todos estão conscientes delas e, por vezes, é necessário relembrar as pessoas. Matt Reiter, diretor da World 50, uma pequena comunidade para gestores de topo, criou uma lista para a sua equipa. “Estava claro que as coisas mudaram desde que a minha equipa começou a trabalhar a partir de casa, mas ninguém se apercebia,” disse ele. “Há coisas que eu sei que se podem fazer, mas sei disso porque já estou na empresa há muito tempo. Se eu posso tirar um dia de folga, então tu também podes.”.

Um pequeno lembrete pode ajudar as pessoas a mudar o seu comportamento. Elementos da Google enviaram um email aos novos colaboradores a informar que os gestores da organização, normalmente, “Fazem muitas questões, muitas mesmo!” e “Peça um feedback ativo – não espere por ele.” Só o simples facto de ter dado a conhecer isto, fez com que os novos colaboradores desenvolvessem estas competências, aumentaram a produtividade em cerca de 2%, um aumento de cerca de $400 milhões por ano.

Tendo em conta que muitos de nós mudamos para teletrabalho no início deste ano, encorajamos as equipas a elaborar listas “Não faz mal se ...”. Pode incluir coisas como “Está tudo bem se...”:

Desligar a câmara, caso necessite de descansar durante as chamadas mais longas;

Mudar as horas de trabalho devido a compromissos familiares;

Uma criança ou um animal de estimação aparecer no ecrã;

Bloquear horas no seu calendário para se focar no seu trabalho.

 A seguir definimos algumas áreas que devem ser consideradas na elaboração de uma lista para a vossa equipa ou organização:

  Normas de comunicação digital 

 Fazer videochamadas constantes é desgastante. Seja claro no que toca a ter as câmaras ligadas e desligadas. Por exemplo, num pequeno grupo, quando se está a discutir ou colaborar é importante ter as câmaras ligadas. No entanto, em muitos locais de trabalho, as videochamadas, tornaram-se o padrão, mesmo em situações em que uma simples chamada era suficiente. Talvez a sua equipa possa definir que nos primeiros dez minutos da reunião, mantêm o vídeo ligado, para estabelecer a ligação, e depois não há problema em desligar durante o restante tempo da reunião. Durante este tempo de pandemia, a PCMA, uma empresa de organização de eventos, criou uma lista “Não faz mal se ...”, que permitia aos colaboradores vestirem-se mais informalmente e estar presentes apenas com voz durante as reuniões. Também é recomendável perceber se não há problema que os filhos surjam, ir à porta receber uma encomenda, ou simplesmente levantar-se durante uma reunião para esticar as pernas ou ir buscar uma bebida. Estes comportamentos podem atenuar a ansiedade e manter o equilíbrio entre os intervenientes.   

Apoio emocional

Estes são tempos difíceis e por isso nem sempre estaremos no nosso melhor. Pense em tirar um dia para si, ou fazer uma pausa durante a tarde. Beth Heltebridle, uma bibliotecária da biblioteca Frederick County Library, em Maryland, conta-nos que fez uma lista com a sua equipa durante o período de confinamento. A Beth disse-nos “Partilhávamos a nossa lista de forma a criar motivação nestes tempos de incerteza, e enviamos para os novos colaboradores, uma vez que estamos outra vez na mesma situação. Uma das coisas mais complicadas é que os nossos dias pareciam tão diferentes, sentíamos a falta da interação com os outros elementos. Muitas destas regras não estão escritas e podem nem ser cumpridas atualmente, mas queríamos que ficassem claras para os novos elementos, e lembrar o resto da equipa de que a nossa cultura se mantinha inalterada.”

A lista da bibliotecária incluía situações como, não faz mal se não vires o email fora de horas, aceitar um café se alguém te levar, ter paciência, e ter espaço para concentração.

Segurança psicológica

As novas contratações são aquelas que mais facilmente sentem a falta de pertença e segurança psicológica. Por isso é muito importante deixar claro aos novos colaboradores, que não faz mal fazer muitas perguntas e não sentir que uma semana depois de iniciar um novo emprego já tem de saber tudo. Estar a trabalhar à distância, significa ter mais dificuldade em obter respostas a pequenas questões. E dada a situação económica, muitas pessoas sentem-se umas sortudas por ter um emprego e muitas sentem uma grande insegurança em perder o seu emprego, o que pode fazer com que as pessoas hesitem em colocar dúvidas, porque têm medo, sentem-se lentas ou porque pensam que vão perturbar algo.

Mas se as pessoas não fizerem questões, uma das duas situações pode estar a acontecer, podem não estar a fazer bem o seu trabalho, ou podem estar a perder tempo a pensar em como poderão ser entendidas. Estas listas permitem que todos façam questões. Pode até incluir situações específicas, como não faz mal se fizer perguntas, mesmo que sejam absurdas, ou pedir esclarecimentos sobre algo que já foi esclarecido.

Estilos de trabalho

Muitas vezes trabalhamos com pessoas que têm estilos de trabalho diferentes, alguns muito extrovertidos, outros mais cuidadosos nas decisões e alguns mais assertivos. Muitas vezes os estilos de trabalho que prevalece nas organizações é o da maioria ou daqueles que estão à frente das organizações. Por exemplo, se a maioria for extrovertida, principalmente os líderes, a organização pode pautar-se por ter sempre reuniões em grande escala e sessões colaborativas.

  Pode optar por ter uma lista “Não faz mal se ...” para fazer com que as pessoas que têm um estilo de trabalho diferente se sintam mais confortáveis, bem como mostrar que não têm de se adaptar para terem aquele sentimento de pertença.

Por exemplo, pode permitir que os trabalhadores mais introvertidos, estejam apenas presentes no chat, do que estar sempre a ligar o microfone deles e falar, ou pedir mais tempo para tomar decisões importantes. Briley Noel Hutchison, um gestor de programas na Girls Scouts - Diamonds of Arkansas, Oklahoma e Texas, disse-nos que a sua equipa concordou em serem diretos, ter espaço para silêncio, e acompanhar as pessoas e ajudar nos projetos que decorriam.

Estas listas, como bónus, podem-se tornar em ferramentas de recrutamento. Giles Turnbull disse-nos que “Muitas pessoas, candidataram-se a trabalhos no Serviço Digital do Governo, depois de terem visto os posters, ou imagens destes nas redes sociais. Uma foto de um poster transformou-se numa vantagem de recrutamento.”

O simples ato de fazer uma lista pode trazer benefícios tanto para os novos colaboradores, como para aqueles que já estão em funções e para os que ainda podem vir, e permite-nos reforçar a cultura de organização, mesmo quando a natureza do trabalho se altera.

CANTLON: (2/12) UCONN BEATS BC 6-4

BY: Gerry Cantlon, Howlings CHESTNUT HILL, MA - UCONN earned two points in a wild 6-4 road win over Boston College at Kelley Rink. Carter Turnbull, Jachym Kondelik, and two goals from an unexpected scoring source defenseman, Jarrod Gourley, as UCONN won its sixth straight Hockey East contest and their second straight win at the Kelley Rink. UCONN is now tied with Boston University in points but also has two games in hand and one more win over the Terriers. The Huskies are winning games and looking to secure a home playoff date. Their record is now 16-11-2-1-2 overall and 12-6-0-2-1 in the conference. “We're certainly pleased with the three points tonight. That’s not how we wanted to play against BC. We know how strong they are up-front and on the rush. We didn’t want to trade chances back-and-forth, but we did. We were fortunate enough to score as well. Certainly, not the blueprint we drew up as a game plan. "Overall, I was happy with the win, but there is a lot we have to work on,“ said an exhausted UCONN head coach Mike Cavanaugh in his post-game remarks. The Eagles, uncharacteristically, find themselves in eighth place in Hockey East. Their record is 10-15-4 overall and 5-10-3-0-1 in Hockey East play. This loss ended a tough week for them, as they lost in the Beanpot, and then for a second time this season at home to UCONN. The Huskies are off until next weekend when they will play the conference’s first-place team and the defending national champion, the UMASS Minutemen in a home-and-home series. FIRST PERIOD FLURRY It was a blizzard of goals between the Huskies and Eagles who had a combined seven goals off 17 shots in the first period. The Huskies scored first as Ryan Tverberg (Toronto) tallied off a two-on-one break-in, feeding Artem Schlainen (New Jersey) who found the open net and buried his fourth goal of the season at 1:21. "Turnbull’s been playing some great hockey. Since Christmas he has been outstanding. The whole line has been doing a nice job for us," remarked Cavanaugh of the Turnbull-Jonny Evans and Marc Gatcomb (the Gunn School) trio. He liked the team's start. “It was a good way to start, but I didn’t like giving away that many chances,” He said. The Eagles responded with Jack Dempsey sending a cross-ice pass to Casey Carreau who was wide open on the right-wing side. He buried his fourth of the season at 4:49. Five minutes later, at 9:49, UCONN regained the lead as a BC turnover by Trevor Kuntar that was forced by Kondelik (Nashville) was found by Vladislav Firstov (Minnesota). He made a drop pass back to Kondelik, who had a team-best five shots, who then moved in alone on the right-wing. Kondelik registered his eleventh goal of the season from the face-off circle. Kondelik now has eight goals in his last 13 games. SCORING WAS NOT DONE YET BC’s Colby Ambrosio was in his zone and sent a head-man pass to speedy defenseman Mitchell Warren at center ice. Warren motored down the left-wing past UCONN’s Chase Bradley and circled the net and then threw the puck back at the net. Darin Hanson made the save but left a rebound. Liam Izyk got to the puck before John Spetz and poked his first goal of the season into the net at 13:20 putting deuces on the scoreboard. ”That’s not how we wanna play. We want to play with more structure in our own zone. We compromised ourselves defensively when pucks started going in. We were selling out to score goals and you can’t do that against Boston College because they have forwards who can hurt you on the rush.” Gourley had seven Division-I goals in three years with the Arizona State Sun Devils to his credit. He scored the next two goals. At 13:56, Turnbull was on the right wing with two BC Eagles, Justin Wells and Patrick Giles marking him. He zipped a cross-ice pass to Gourley as a third BC player - a mid-season Yale transfer from last year - Jack St. Ivany (Philadelphia) made a blocking attempt who deposited his second goal of the season behind Eric Gop. GOURLEY In the offensive zone at 14:12, Hudson Schandor won the draw clean from BC’s Gentry Shamburger (Avon Old Farms) in the left-wing face-off circle. Gourley stepped into a rolling puck off the left point and blasted it to the short side past Gop to make it 4-2. Gourley's only previous collegiate two-goal game was against Brown in his sophomore year on January 11, 2020, when he scored the game-winner. In his previous goals, they have all been against ECACHL teams during his junior and sophomore years. He hasn’t had two goals in a game before that since his days at the Grant Fuhr Arena with the AJHL Spruce Grove Saints. “He’s been great all year long. He brings a great level of maturity to our team and a calming influence to our defensemen. He can really shoot the puck. It was really two big goals for us.” The Eagles cashed in with 39.9 seconds left in regulation as Izyk registered his second of the game. He redirected a pass from Ambrosio who was behind the net. The Eagles went to the locker room only trailing by one at  4-3. IN BETWEEN LOCKER ROOMS After seven goals, and in between periods, his players did the majority of talking, but the coaches were heard too. “It was a combination of both. We have a very experienced team. They knew this was not how we wanted to play this game. It was not the recipe for success against Boston College to keep trading chances with them. They drove the conversation more than I did.” The goal didn’t faze UCONN as they scored twice in the second period to expand their lead they never lost. “The second period was more in how we wanted to play.  I thought we controlled that period and we got a fortunate bounce (on the first goal we scored). Carter Turnbull made a nice move on his goal and I liked how we were playing," said Cavanaugh. They restored the two-goal lead as Aidan Hreschuk attempted to exit the BC end of the ice, but lost the puck to an unforced error by Turnbull who went off on a breakaway before making a nice backhand-to-forehand move for his eighth of the season at 7:16. Schandor (plus-3) made another good play and with solid puck protection on Hreschuk chasing him in the BC zone, sent a solid backhand pass to a wide-open Kevin O’Neil. He raced in and beat Kuntar to the loose biscuit and made a nice finishing move and swept in his fifth of the season at 10:01 through the five-hole. The goal gave UCONN a commanding 6-3 lead. BC’S Casey Carreau closed out the scoring with his second of the night and fifth of the season at 15:34 to make it closer than it was. NOTES Jack St. Ivany had a tough night for BC at minus-4, and Pat Giles had a pointless night, a minus-3, and went without a shot on goal.

Our Verdict

Editor’s note: The following review is part of Macworld’sSummer of Mac Gems series. Each business day until the middle of August 2008, the Macworld staff will use the Mac Gems blog to briefly cover a favorite free or low-cost program. Visit the Mac Gems homepage for a list of past Mac Gems.

There are dozens and dozens of text editors for the Mac, so why do I use Peter Borg’s Smultron? To be honest, there’s not a definitive “this is why” answer to that question—Smultron isn’t as feature-rich as Bare Bones Software’s BBEdit () or TextWrangler (), for example.

However, I find Smultron’s interface less daunting than some of its competitors, and the environment can be customized to your liking.

Smultron includes colored syntax highlighting for many programming languages, works with OS X’s Services menu and built-in spell checker, and doesn’t require a ton of memory or CPU power to run.

It might not meet everyone’s needs, but it’s free (and open source), so it won’t cost you anything to try it out.

12.0.6 / January 3, 2020; 15 months ago

Written inObjective-COperating systemmacOSAvailable inMulti-lingualTypeText editorLicenseProprietary (Mac App Store)Websitewww.peterborgapps.com/smultron

Smultron is a text editor for macOS that is designed for both beginners and advanced users. It was originally published as open-source but is now sold through the Mac App Store. It is written in Objective-C using the Cocoa API, and is able to edit and save many different file types. Smultron also includes syntax highlighting with support for many popular programming languages including C, C++, LISP, Java, Python, PHP, Ruby, HTML, XML, CSS, Prolog, IDL and D.

Smultron is the Swedish word for woodland strawberry.

Features[edit]

Smultron has many syntax highlighting and text encoding options. It can be helpful in the quick creation of websites, and allows the user to utilize and customize shortcuts for quick coding implementations, snippets and file organization. Other features include split file view, line wrapping, incremental search, a command line utility, line numbers, and an HTML preview. There is localization support for Swedish, Chinese (simplified and traditional), English, Czech, French, Hungarian, Finnish, German, Japanese, Dutch, Italian, and Spanish.

History[edit]

Created and developed by Swedish programmer Peter Borg, it was first seen registered on Sourceforge in May 2004, and had received much support and feedback from the Mac open-source community. The name of the application is derived from the common Swedish woodland strawberry, hence the application icon.[1] Lingon, another program developed by Borg, is named after another common Scandinavian berry. As of July 31, 2009, Borg has announced that he would no longer be developing Smultron,[2] however active development was later resumed after a hiatus.

Smultron

On September 12, 2009, Borg announced a new version 3.6beta1 to fix bugs introduced with Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. He also said he would not be releasing 'any more versions for the foreseeable future.'[3]

In 2010 a fork named “Fraise” was introduced, authored by programmer Jean-Francois Moy and named after the French word for “Strawberry”.[4] Also open source, this fork offered 64-bit support in Snow Leopard (but no support for OS X 10.5), an auto-update mechanism, duplicate line detection, and other features. There will not be any further updates to this branch of development,[5] and as of macOS Sierra the app will no longer open; a new fork of Fraise in 2016, named 'Erbele', authored by programmer Andreas Bentele (Erbele is the Swabian (a German dialect) word for 'strawberry'), offers compatibility with macOS Sierra and newer releases.

On January 6, 2011, version 3.8 of Smultron was published by Peter Borg in the Mac App Store as a paid app for OS X 10.6-10.8. Eventually separate versions 6, 7 and 8 (for OS X 10.9, 10.10, and 10.11 respectively) were released on the App Store. Added features include iCloud support in Smultron 6,[6] better contextual menus in Smultron 7[7] and support for native OS X tabs in Smultron 8.[8] Syntax highlighting has been updated in each version to include more languages:

SASS / SCSS, Groovy, Go, Make and YAML in Smultron 6

Arduino, Clojure, Final Cut Pro XML, Fountain, Hack, Notation 3, Processing, Rust, Strings, Swift, Turtle, XLIFF, XQuery and Zimbu in Smultron 7

LESS, MathProg, Nim and Smalltalk in Smultron 8

By Smultron 8, over 120 languages are supported.

'I’m very nervous': Maritimers engaging more ahead of U.S. election

In just seven days, Americans will elect their next president.

Christina Schettino-Irish says the country is very divided right now.

"We have people that love Biden, people that love Trump, and the hardest thing for me is to see the stress of relationships and friendships breaking up over whose voting for who,” said Schettino-Irish, who calls North Carolina home.

Schettino-Irish has lived in the U.S. for the last 21 years but can’t vote because she is a Canadian citizen.

"I have a permanent green card so I've never had a chance or an opportunity to vote because I'm not an American," she said.

Her husband decided not to vote this year because he didn't want it to interfere with his job or his friendships.

Elizabeth Hebert, an American citizen living in New Brunswick, has already cast her ballot for the upcoming election.

"I'm very nervous about the election," Hebert said. "We're cautiously optimistic that the president will lose, we hope."

Hebert has been volunteering with Democrats Abroad to help other Americans living in Canada to vote.

"America plays a really big role in the world," Hebert said. "I don't know that Americans in America always realize the repercussions outside their borders, but we've lived here for three and a half years, we've lived in Australia for seven years prior to being here, so we sort of see how policy impacts the world. I think the instability and sort of division in the U.S. creates instability beyond the American borders."

Lori Turnbull, the director of the school of public administration and an associate professor of political science at Dalhousie University, says we're often focused on American politics in Canada, but she says this election is an interesting one.

"This is a high-stakes election. This is potentially a change election,” said Turnbull.

"The choice is Trump and Biden. We've seen what the Trump presidency has looked like over the past four years and people are wondering whether people are going to give Trump a second term or whether Joe Biden is going to be able to offer a ticket that is compelling enough to be able to eliminate that possibility of a second term for Trump."

Social media expert Giles Crouch says he's been seeing a lot more Canadians engage online in this election than the last one.

"I think that Canadians are starting to question American democracy as a whole and we're participating more in our democracies as a result," he said.

"There’s been a big shift, Canadians were very active with the discussions with Americans, almost behaving in the same way that the Americans were in a sense of divisiveness. The last six to eight weeks, the biggest shift I've seen is that Canadians are now feeling a sense of sadness. There's almost this pity for Americans and what they're going through and that's a big shift. The other one is a growing fear by Canadians of potential violence falling out of the election as well."

Turnbull says this is an interesting time in American politics with a lot of important issues, including the Black Lives Matter movement and the COVID-19 pandemic.

"It's hard to rely on polls at this point to measure what's going to happen," Turnbull said. "It's always hard to do that and, this is I think a harder time because the vote is less predictable because of the pandemic issue. Some people that vote all the time may make a decision not to vote this time and, some who don't usually vote may engage the mail in ballots and participate."

The Sounds and Songs of Chicago, Illinois // Ben Richards // 2017

As I walk Chicago, the sensory observations I most often make are sounds that I hear. There are lots of different noises; beautiful noises, voices, consistent noises, annoying noises and on the rare occasion, silence. In the article “Handheld Time Machines”, Giles Turnbull states that “cities are full of noise and scuffle, and they don’t always reveal their history”. Although these types of noises make up Chicago when walking the city, it is the sounds that are constantly representing Chicago that reveal Chicago’s history. The sounds of Chicago that I am referring to is music.
