They built one

Making “Hijack,” the ambitious AppleTV+ thriller that unfolds over a seven-hour flight from Dubai to London in seven hour-long episodes, meant breaking established traditions.When terrorists take control of the plane, Idris Elba’s Sam Newman is the wild card in the sky: A professional negotiator who is able to control his fears and rightly gauge the dynamics as violence, intimidation and murder add to the horror.The “Hijack” team had a novel notion about to make it all real.“The biggest thing for us,” said director Jim Field Smith, like Elba also an executive producer, “was we’ve got a show that’s set almost exclusively inside of an airplane. There’s two problems with that!“One is to make it engaging dramatically and not dull and flat. The other is to make it feel like you are actually in an airplane moving through the sky.“It was definitely very challenging but we figured out how to solve both issues. We didn’t really want to break this plane apart [for individual scenes]. We wante...Brown: Reliability must take top priority in energy policies

Commissioners of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and a host of stakeholders convened on June 20 to discuss the cost and reliability of New England’s electricity. In some respects, this is the “Groundhog Day” of energy policy events because this meeting was the latest in a decade of similar meetings, and it’s déjà vu all over again.While the tone of the meetings may change, the meat of the discussions never do — New England’s energy rates and energy costs are routinely among the nation’s 10 most expensive and every year, the electric grid’s reliability becomes a bigger concern.Ordinarily, the grid is not on the public radar, but disastrous failures in California and Texas in recent years have put it there, and not a moment too soon. Gordon van Welie, the CEO of New England’s grid operator ISO-NE, painted a slightly less dire reliability picture than in years past, while the steward of the nation’s grids, the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC), in M...Shaken by Shih Tzu’s sudden seizure
Published Tue, 19 Nov 2024 09:40:04 GMT
Dear Dr. John,Our family has two Shih Tzus, one male and one female. The female, who is almost five, recently freaked us out with some odd behavior. We were at home and suddenly she started drooling heavily, defecated, and seemed out of sorts for a few minutes. We quickly called our vet who had us bring her in. The vet checked her out and found nothing to be out of sorts. We took her home and overall, she seemed to be quiet for the rest of the day. We were told that she probably had an episode of epilepsy, that she would likely be fine, and to keep an eye on her. Should we be concerned and what next? Is her breed prone to epilepsy and should we worry about our other dog? They are not littermates but from the same breeder. C.P.Dear C.P.,There are quite a few dog breeds that are prone to epilepsy but the Shih Tzu is not one of those. Despite that, idiopathic epilepsy, which means there is no specific cause, can happen in any dog breed. Most epileptic seizures in dogs are characterized...Divine Sweater gives the apocalypse a dream pop beat
Published Tue, 19 Nov 2024 09:40:04 GMT
Can the sound of an apocalypse be both jarring and beautiful? Absolutely, if it’s scored by Divine Sweater.The Boston band’s track “Two Steps Forward” floats through a dream-pop jam into a kind of feverish saxophone and keyboard breakdown before the instruments fade away. After two seconds of silence, a keyboard riff picks up and Meghan Kelleher sings, “Felt the ground fall through on Commonwealth Avenue/Brighton broke in two down Commonwealth Avenue.”“That part in ‘Two Steps Forward’ is supposed to be the moment when the people realize that the world is ending,” Kelleher told the Herald.The track sits at the center of Divine Sweater’s concept album, the recently released “Down Deep (A Nautical Apocalypse).”Concept albums can bring to mind grandiose, often bloated prog or metal opuses. Instead, “Down Deep” is both more tender and poppier. Kelleher and her bandmates – multi-instrumentalist Sean Seaver, keyboardist Steve Lin, bassist Alex Goldberg and drummer Christ Southiere – get sp...Time-honored wedding traditions, and what they mean
