patty duke, who died tuesday (march 29) at age 69, had a celebrated career on broadway and in films and television, winning an oscar and three emmys. while most people think of her as an actor, she also had a recording career that began in 1965 with a top 10 hit on the billboard hot 100 :

the aliens communicate using logograms, symbols that can stand for a word, an entire sentence, or feeling. because the aliens themselves don’t experience linear time, their logograms can put words in any order without changing the meaning of the message. (this is called non - linear orthography. )

clients entrust us with their capital in part because they believe that we have expertise that they do not. therefore, as investment managers, we shouldn’t argue that ‘the clients made us do it’ as justification for committing their capital on terms that we normally would not find attractive. sitting on the sidelines waiting for opportunities that meet our quality and valuation criteria involves the risk of appearing out of step with a rising market, which in turn puts investment managers at risk of losing clients, bonuses or jobs. however, as fiduciaries it is our job to reject the old cliché that it’s far better to fail conventionally than succeed unconventionally and do what we believe to be in the best long - term interest of our clients. it’s important that when there are not enough attractive investments that combine sufficient quality with a large discount to intrinsic value that we follow the admonition: don’t just do something, stand there !

[ nikolaj ] cersei had the chance with both her brothers to kill them and she was threatening to do so, but both times she eased off on the trigger. i get that with tyrion she was setting him up for failure ― making him believe that he was the hero of the day, that he negotiated this amazing support from the lannister army and what a wonderful thing he did. so that makes sense. for jaime, i would think he would think there was part of her that still understands that he really is the last person that she has. that is the truth; that must resonate somewhere inside her. that would help. or maybe the mountain is just so thick that he didn’t get the eye signal. maybe there’s a scene right after where she goes, “why the fuck didn’t you kill him? ! i gave you the signal! ” i don’t know. who knows. we’ll never know because that scene isn’t there, but that might be the case. - huffingtonpost, nikolaj coster - waldau breaks down that huge jaime moment on' game of thrones' .

in other words: value investing works over the long - term exactly because it doesn’t work all the time. if it worked all the time, it would have been arbitraged away long ago by people programming computers to invest large amounts of money based on its principles. however, because of intermediate - length periods when value investing doesn’t work, and most investors’ lack of a long - term time horizon, this hasn’t happened and value investing remains one of the few constants in a changing investment landscape. most people just can’t stomach periods of underperformance.

here’s how it’s really done. in a perfect world netflix could just do the decent thing and stump up the cash to produce the final, proposed installment of dennis kelly’s utopia :
fifteen years ago, as a young analyst, i attended a conference at harvard on behavioral finance. during one of the sessions, a well - known value investor presented evidence that value investing has produced superior returns over all rolling 10 - year periods during the timeframe that he studied. i came up to him after his talk, and asked – if value investing works so well, why doesn’t everyone do it? he smiled at me knowingly and explained that while value investing works over most long - term periods, it frequently doesn’t always work in the short - term. there are plenty of 3 - year periods when value investing produces inferior returns, and most market participants don’t or can’t have the time horizon that is sufficiently long to be able to look through that. they will either get fired, lose their clients, or if they are investing their own capital, lose the confidence in their process while they wait for the period of underperformance to end .
i can’t get enough of it either, taxi. i think the reason that it is so powerful is the determined look on tilda’s face. she almost looks as if she is daring someone to call her anti - semitic or to question her political beliefs. i’m not sure why, but somehow i don’t think this will harm her career in the least. in fact, maybe i am naive, but i have this feeling that this photo will give other people the courage to do the same .

only sane man: the grim reaper. it takes him several minutes to impress upon the hosts and guests of a dinner party that he' s not there to trim the hedge, doesn' t want wine and won' t discuss philosophy with them. when they finally die and follow him to the great beyond, they decide to take their cars (their ghost cars, which, like them, leave behind the original forms), causing the reaper to do a hilarious double - take before shrugging it off and beckoning them on .

in perhaps the biggest rookie mistake that only a true friends geeks would notice, ross' s son doesn' t appear at his wedding. he was in carol and susan' s wedding in the one with the lesbian wedding - so what' s the deal here, eh! ? eh? we did some investigations as to where ben (and the rest of the entire friends cast) is now, and don' t worry, he' s safe. in fact, he' s a twin. and he got really, really hot .
there are two ways to look at the attractiveness of the market: bottom - up and top - down. to a concentrated value investor such as me, the former approach is much more relevant because even if the whole market were grossly overvalued, it could be quite possible that enough attractive opportunities exist to put together a portfolio offering excellent potential returns with a large margin of safety. an example is the tech bubble of 1999 - 2000, when overall valuations were very high, but there existed many opportunities in “old - world” industries that didn’t get caught up in the speculative craze that affected technology, telecommunications and media stocks .
for starters, when exactly did vader find out that luke even existed? this is an incredibly important moment the movies never show us. remember, the idea was that luke was stashed on tatooine as an infant specifically to keep the empire from finding out about him. luke is still living in peaceful anonymity in a new hope, so clearly vader doesn' t realize that luke is there .

they sure did. costello tells louise that in 3, 000 years, the aliens will need humans’ help with some unspecified crisis, which is why they visited earth in the first place, to teach humans heptapod b. more intriguingly, we don’t know whether that human aid will stem from knowing the language itself, the time - perception - altering side effects of learning it, or the global unification that results from it .

so what could possibly go wrong? well i have a confession to make: having watched the show now, for the most part i found it… well… kinda boring. i certainly didn’t hate stranger things or anything but i definitely didn’t find it anywhere near as “awesome” as everyone else did either. i think it’s basically just… okay. for most of the viewing experience i had a nagging sensation of “is this it? this is the show people are losing their shit for? ! ” but in truth anything that gets this sort of across - the - board, almost scarily uniform praise—like this particular show—it should raise suspicions .

and oddly enough, it appears at the inquiry every labour mp called by the speaker – and by my count there were 18 of them – failed to land a glove on the defence secretary. their questions were either over - elaborate or designed to show how smart the questioner was, or a combination of both. the question that was screaming out to be asked was: “what was mr werritty doing at those meetings? ” that, surely, is what we all want to know. why didn’t anyone ask? it’s not the first time that mps have missed the obvious and it won’t be the last. the short, sharp and pithy question is a valuable weapon in the chamber yet is seldom used .

ah, the hype. the stranger things hype is the thing that is really pissing me off, more than anything actually featured in the show itself. to the point where i felt compelled to write this piece so at least there could be one dissenting voice out there to balance the (suspiciously universal) adoration for the show. and while it may seem unfair to blame stranger things or its creators for the hype that has built up around it it would be awfully naive to think that the show wasn’t deliberately designed to capitalize on both nostalgia and generational social media reminiscence in the first place. they know what they’re doing. but it’s the insulting basic - ness of the communal dialog surrounding stranger things that is the most infuriating. what kind of world are we living in when major media outlets like time and buzzfeed actually think people have never heard of, let alone seen, massive cultural - milestones like et and halloween and alien and nightmare on elm street? it’s patronizing and insulting .

the single was released just as the second season of the patty duke show was signing off for the summer. the sitcom, which starred duke as identical cousins patty and cathy, started its run on abc on sept. 18, 1963, and ended after three seasons, with the final first - run episode airing on april 27, 1966 .
here' s the thing: silva' s master plan began the moment he got captured, timing it so that he' d be in custody right when m was testifying. but he didn' t turn himself in - - he was captured by bond. so how could he have known when that would happen? bond tracks a bullet shard in his shoulder to an assassin guy who has a casino chip from a casino where he sticks it to some lady who happens to know where silva is. that' s literally how it happens - - silva had no control over that. how many days were those two fake cops standing there, waiting for silva ?
in skyfall, james bond tracks his villain through a series of expert spy techniques such as attacking a train with a backhoe, getting shot, fucking feeding a dude to a komodo dragon, and just plain fucking. in the end, he is able to catch his man, a sinisterly foreign yet creepily aryan ex - agent named silva (javier bardem) .

angela' s
mother
was the only real part of this whole charade - - frank took advantage of the fact that roy left her pregnant 14 years ago to set up the trick. one quick phone call to her, and the gig is up. the only precaution frank took to make sure this didn' t happen was having angela tell roy that her
mom
didn' t want him to call her... but then they spend the rest of the movie putting him in situations where he really fucking should .
because of the canary in the coal mine. the aliens pump enough breathable air into their ship for humans to survive for two hours at a time (that’s why the humans have to wait on the platform beneath the spaceship for a period of time before entering), but the scientists aren’t taking any chances, so they bring a caged bird with them when they’re on board. as long as the bird keeps chirping, they know there’s no risk of poisonous gas or lack of oxygen. if it stops, they’re in trouble. that’s also why louise glances at the bird before removing her hazmat suit to get a better look at the aliens—a move that is still pretty dangerous .
the twist at the end of the usual suspects is universally recognized as one of the greatest ever. if you haven' t seen the movie, stop reading this article and go watch it. that was awesome, right? ok, now let us ruin it for you forever .
later on, when angela fucking disappears for hours from roy' s home, frank himself casually suggests that she might have gone back to her mother' s house, knowing full well that a call to said house would end it all right then and there. it' s only a fucking miracle in bad parenting that roy waits patiently all night until she turns up. and this was somehow all part of the plan .
“though she continued appearing in mainstream as well as politically oriented films and documentaries such as roy battersby’s the palestinians (1977), her views cost redgrave roles on stage and screen and damaged her popularity, particularly in the u. s. redgrave’s television debut in playing for time (1980) generated further controversy when redgrave won an emmy for her portrayal of a jewish violinist interned in a nazi death camp who is ordered to help serenade women on their way to the gas chambers. due to her anti - zionist stand, many, including fana fenelon, the real - life violinist whom redgrave was portraying, objected to her playing a jewish woman. ” urltoken .
by that point, louise has been studying the aliens’ language for weeks, immersing herself and even dreaming in it. she has also begun to experience flash forwards to the future, so it’s conceivable that she’s drawing on knowledge of the language that she will have in addition to what she already knows. plus, she’s the chosen one, so there may also be also be a little bit of telepathy going on. i’m speculating here .
the treatment of barb neatly sums up everything wrong with this show. i knew “who” barb was before i’d even seen a single frame of stranger things, which is why i was expecting a lot more from this “beloved” character’s role. but the way they handled her storyline left a bad taste. [ spoiler ] after her abduction at the end of episode 2, barb gets, what, maybe three more mentions over the course of the next six hours? and in the middle of one child disappearance investigation, the disappearance of another kid gets completely and utterly overlooked by the police? please! i’ve seen mention that this is a comment on the general lack of urgency placed on missing - girl cases (which is a thing) but that’s retroactively applying something to the show that just isn’t there. once barb has served her purpose to the plot she’s basically forgotten about. i get the feeling that the show’s creators expected the audience to feel a lot more empathy for barb than they ever showed her. simply put, it was cheap and lazy. and her predicament left dramatically unexplored. 3. the pacing / plotting

if there’s one show that’s generating a ton of buzz right now, it’s the netflix original miniseries stranger things. a lovingly - crafted homage to the 70s / 80’s “golden era” works of steven spielberg, stephen king and john carpenter, this show is inspiring the kind of love we haven’t seen for a tv program in a long time. having heard so much good stuff about stranger things, i went into watching it with high hopes indeed. on paper this show is so my kind of thing that it’s not even funny: john carpenter is my all - time favorite director. stephen king is the guy who inspired me to write, and i can trace my obsession with movies back to formative experiences watching spielberg’s films obsessively as a child .
moving your feet can change the way that different objects in your photograph interact with each other. while the top photograph of the wisconsin capitol in lights was an adequate shot, moving just a few feet to the right and squatting down allowed me to feature the lit outline in the foreground with the actual capitol building in the background. this juxtaposition of elements improves the story - telling ability of the photograph .
this is notable as by far the grossest of the python films, via such highlights as the aforementioned
live organ transplants
sketch and the restaurant scene featuring mr. creosote. that didn' t stop it from receiving the grand prize of the jury award at the 1983 cannes film festival, however .
in this preschooler post - apocalypse feature, we follow wall - e, a lovable trash compactor / cassette deck who falls in love with a big white butt plug from space. this robot, named eve, is actually there to check in on whether a trash - riddled earth could possibly sustain life once again - - and in her search stumbles upon an honest - to - god plant, which she immediately brings back to her mothership for further analysis .
vader and the emperor were about as smart as their spaceballs counterparts if they somehow missed the fact that for 20 years, there was a kid living on vader' s own home planet, with vader' s own family, openly telling everyone that he was
the son of anakin skywalker .
and it' s not like vader is too far away to visit home, after all - - he has no problem visiting in the first film, right ?
but why? you' d think he would have noticed at some point in the first movie that this kid with a passing resemblance to his own younger self happened to share his last name. the first mention of him as the
son of skywalker
is in the second movie, when vader suggests to the emperor that luke could be turned. so did they just now put this all together? for real ?
the entire point of silva' s scheme is to kill m during her hearing - - he has two guys waiting for him with a cop uniform after he breaks out of mi6 specifically so that he can sneak into the courthouse and shoot her. presumably he allowed himself to get captured (as opposed to just going straight to the courthouse) because he wanted to upload the virus into mi6' s computers to distract everyone .
rugby is slaughter: a boarding school holds a rugby match pitting little boys against grown men. as if that weren' t brutal enough, when a boy finally gets to make a try, a teacher trips him from the sidelines. to further underline the point, the scene segues directly into a world war i segment .
what is equally if not more extraordinary is that conde nast, publisher of vogue, new yorker, glamour, wired, and the add rich vanity fair chose to publish this photo in the first place. while there is no doubt its doing so will cause dershowitz, foxman, the zoa’s morton klein and david horowitz and their ilk to froth at the mouth, i suspect that they will not dare to launch a campaign targeting the magazine’s advertisers because they know it would be doomed to fail .
for instance, the shrink advises roy to call his ex, and he actually does it - - he only chickens out when she picks up. if she hadn' t, roy could have left a message mentioning the whole
so we have a daughter together, huh ?
thing, and that would have been it. con over .
but since this is a movie about con artists and double crosses, you just know that at some point everything we thought we knew will turn out to be a lie! in this case, it turns out that daughter angela was never roy' s kid - - she was part of an elaborate con set up by his partner, frank (sam rockwell), to make roy trust someone enough to give up the code to his safety deposit box. a perfect con !
( excepts) i urge every person on this planet to watch yoav shamir’s defamation, a documentary about anti - semitism… …he provides us with some intimate footage of israeli youth being indoctrinated into collective anxiety and total neurosis just before they join the idf. the general image we are left with is no less than grotesque. the film elaborates on the aggressive vulgar orchestrated amplification of fear amongst israelis and zionist jews. “we are raised to believe that we are hated” says an israeli high school girl on her way to a concentration camp… …shamir provides us with an opportunity to see how badly young israelis behave once in poland. you watch their contempt to the local population and disrespect to polish people and institutes. you can also watch israelis project their hatred onto others. for some reason they are convinced that everyone out there is as merciless as they happen to be. the israeli youngsters are saturated with fear, yet, they are having a good time, you can watch them having a party dancing in a bus all the way to a auschwitz…
don’t get my wrong, i love winona. she’s the beating heart of some of my all - time favourite movies. i’m a veronica. but by god did her performance do my head in! to the point where i zoned out whenever she was on screen. her role as “joyce” (and i had to look that name up, that’s how unmemorable the character was) never strayed from the single, overbearing note of “despairing mother. ” which is not necessarily ryder’s fault as she was given so little to work with. still, color me disappointed. i lay the blame for this squarely at the feet of the writers / creators shawn levy and the duffer brothers. stranger things ’ characters were paper thin despite some great performances from the child actors. but the adults? from winona ryder to matthew modine, not to mention the oddly clueless suburban parents and the totally clichéd sidekick deputies… sorry. in the end it seemed like only steve and will were genuinely changed by what they had experienced .
before we go any further, yes, this is universally considered to be an awesome movie. it' s just that any time a movie has the villain do the ,
surprise! every action you' ve taken has actually played perfectly into my hands !
bit with the hero, it never really makes sense. and this is a great example - - when you walk through it from the bad guy' s point of view, you realize that either silva is an incredibly lucky bastard, or he' s literally god .
a good twist ending makes you look back on the entire movie while shitting your pants. for example, remember at the end of the sixth sense where bruce willis is dead and no one saw it coming? it was so damn unexpected! of course, who the hell would expect that the hero of a film wouldn' t notice that his only speaking companion for months was a small, unsupervised child?
