John embodies what the protagonist from the book should be but because he's from the Savage Land the message falls flat because he didn't change.Ĭ-Jack-60 is more like the book protagonist but as an Epsilon he's too dumb to have this revelation without John telling him. Going through it the show hinted at deeper discussions of what happiness means but none of it really came to fruition. I think most of those are from people who read the book and expected one of the characters to go through a cathartic transformation. She mirrored an image of the Savage leader and showed her achieving her dream using Indra. I think what's in the box is one of Indra's worlds. Seeing that the limits of Soma has been reached Indra, a program created to follow preprogrammed rules, can't do anything except continue using Soma. Soma Red goes beyond what the original researchers intended. Indra, in attempting to create the perfect society has used up all levels of Soma to give people pleasure. The Savages, wanting to stop the image of themselves as people of vices who kill at the drop of a hat, only cement their reputation by violently killing people they don't feel fits their ideals. Bernard, the only one with knowledge of this chooses to bury his head in pleasure even when seeing the ad for Savage Land 2. The Londoners have their barrier to keep out the Savages but within the first two episodes the Savages have the Londoners caged. At the same time everyone is imprisoned by their idea of freedom. I liked how they presented the theme of how everything is on a precipice or approaching a precipice and no one knows what to do when they go over. R/television's favorite shows of all time (2022 edition) The Strange New Worlds main ensemble is whole again once more and ready to face the future together in what is shaping up to be an even more ambitious second season moving forward.>!Spoiler!!Television!< becomes Television Links Star Trek has a history of fantastic legal drama episodes, from Spock's trial in "The Menagerie" during The Original Series, to Jean-Luc Picard facing a Starfleet inquisitor in the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode, "The Drumhead." "Ad Astra Per Aspera" joins that celebrated pantheon of courtroom-centric episodes while resolving several of the major plot threads coming out of Season 1. Just as Strange New Worlds' series premiere had Pike directly call out contemporary issues facing humanity, complete with real-world footage, "Ad Astra Per Aspera" very much speaks to societal challenges today. This sort of messaging has been present in the Star Trek franchise since The Original Series, with some instances more readily apparent than others, but that messaging is certainly a hallmark. "Ad Astra Per Aspera" also provides social commentary that is just as timely now as it has been for the entire duration of the franchise, in this specific case regarding prosecution over cultural identity. There's still plenty of levity to ease some of the tension, usually involving Spock as was the case in the Season 2 premiere, continuing the season's shift to more prominent humor. There are so many twists and turns playing out, including Neera's true motivations to help Chin-Riley after their past falling out and Starfleet's prosecutors' tactics that viewers are still on the edge of their seats even if a phaser is never fired or a punch is thrown. This is matched by Badaki's commanding performance, with all eyes on her whenever she’s on-screen, launching into fiery monologues or grilling different figures taking the stand either for or against Chin-Riley's fate.Įven though "Ad Astra Per Aspera" is completely devoid of conventional action set pieces, director Valerie Weiss stages the cinematography in the episode's courtroom scenes as if they're action scenes. Fortunately, both actors are more than up to the task, with Romijn giving her finest performance as Number One to date, tackling her role with utter conviction as Chin-Riley stands at the center of a legal debate for the soul of the Federation. All of "Ad Astra Per Aspera" falls firmly on the shoulders of Romijn and guest star Yetide Badaki, with the latter appearing as Neera in court case making up the majority of the episode.

In July 1986 the first battleship battle group to deploy to the Western Pacific since the Korean War included USS NEW JERSEY (BB-62), USS LONG BEACH (CGN-9), USS MERRILL (DD-976), USS KIRK (FF-1087), USS THACH (FFG-43), USNS PASSUMPSIC (T-AO-107) and USS WABASH (AOR-5). It is used for a variety of tasks, but primarily power projection or forward presence missions, as was the Battleship Battle Group. In addition to the ARG's usual 3 ships, the ESG will include a cruiser, destroyer, frigate, and submarine.Ī Surface Action Group (SAG) is composed of a variable number of surface combatants, but does not include the aircraft carrier. The Expeditionary Strike Group is a revamped amphibious ready group with the ability to disperse strike capabilities across a greater range of the force, increasing the striking power in the amphibious ready group. The composition of the Group runs the entire spectrum of amphibious warfare with Amphibious Squadrons, a Naval Beach Group, a Tactical Air Control Group, a number of ships and typically over 10,000 personnel. The ARG configuration will vary with each deployment, but the configuration will always provide the ARG commander the ability to launch and recover Marine helicopters and deploy landing craft, including the LCAC, Landing Craft Air Cushioned, the Navy's amphibious hoovercraft. Each deployed Battle Group consists of a unique combination of ships.Ī MARG (Marine Amphibious Ready Group) consists of a flotilla of assault ships, comprising an Amphibious Ready Group, with Marines onboard. The Battle Group is the largest operational unit of the US Navy. In addition to this Battle Force, it also included an Amphibious Group of ships to transport and support Marine Corps amphibious operations. The Battle Group (BATGRU) is led by an aircraft carrier and include an airwing and a small contingent of cruisers to act as carrier escorts. The bottom line is that in this way Navy "presence with a purpose," operational flexibility under the Fleet Response Plan, and warfighting effectiveness will be optimized in support of the "1-4-2-1"strategic guidance. Under the new Fleet Response Plan, these 37 strike groups will include 12 Carrier Strike Groups, 12 Expeditionary Strike Groups, nine Strike/Missile Defense SAGs, and four SSGN Strike/SOF forces. Coupled with independent operations by missile defense surface action groups (SAGs) and nuclear-powered guided missile/special operations submarines (SSGNs), the future Fleet of approximately 375 ships planned as of 2004 will dramatically increase the operational flexibility, global reach, and striking power from the approximately 19 independent strike groups (12 CVBGs and seven Middle-East Force surface action groups) of 2004 to 37 independent strike groups. The growing number of carrier battle group "gaps" in operational coverage led to internal assessments of the need for highly flexible and effective Carrier Strike Groups, Expeditionary Strike Groups, and Expeditionary Strike Forces to satisfy the requirements of the nation's security and military strategies. Administrative assignments of individual vessels to a particular administrative Group are persistent, and would normally change only if the vessel's homeport changed due to a force realignment. Within the administrative chain of command, the Group is the immediate superior in charge that is intermediate between the Type Commander and the Squadron. For Operational units, the make-up of the Group is transient, with the component commands and vessels transitioning to other Group assignments in subsequent deployment cycles. The "Group" designation is used in both the operational and administrative chains of command. However, the inconsistency in the application of the "Group" designation is illustrated by the Navy Cargo Handling and Port Group (NAVCHAPGRU), which is an expeditionary logistics support unit of the operating forces of Combat Logistics Squadron Two. For afloat forces, a Group is normally the superior echelon to a Squadron. The term "Group" is used to designate both major contingents of combatant vessels, as well as a wide variety of much smaller shore-based units. However, you can’t record a video using your camera while using this app. I would recommend this app only if you wish for a smart assisted Teleprompter which stops as you take a pause and makes the whole procedure more natural. This feature though great is still quite expensive at $19. However, this app doesn’t have a highlighter marker to assist while reading and for that so we move to the next app in the list. It also keeps track of the elapsed time giving you another cue and you can share your speech files easily with Email. The best part is that you can adjust the size and speed during the run of the prompt which makes it easier to control and adjust according to the natural flow of the Speaker. Starting from the left you get the buttons to control the size of the text and speed adjustment buttons on the right. Once you move to the prompt screen, it shows you a few control buttons on the bottom. It accepts text files as import and you can add multiple scripts at once. You can copy and edit your scripts on the onboard editor in the app. It is best for reciting speech and deliver in front of a camera. Prompster is yet another teleprompter app optimized for Android phones and tablets. With Simple Teleprompter, however, you can’t adjust the size and speed while it’s running for that feature we have the next app in line. The prompt itself works smoothly and can be scrolled back if you fall behind or need to rush through. Scroll speed has 10 levels and you can choose according to your comfort level. You can check the auto start option which automatically starts the prompt once you press the start button. Tapping delete would erase your loaded script from the app, Settings gives you options like mirror text, adjust font size, line spacing and orientation. The editor has three buttons in total: Delete, Save/Start, and Settings. Pressing that button gives you two option – import your script from Phone’s internal storage or paste it directly to the editor. When you open the app for the first time, all you see is a white screen with a button to ‘create a new document’. Simple Teleprompter gives you an experience of using an actual teleprompter.

MUNDELEIN POLICE DEPARTMENT ARREST SUMMARY Beth was their leader and friend and eventually, they became more of a family. The team promised her husband, Keith, that wherever she was, she would be safe. It’s undeniable that God had a master plan that involved a willing woman with a team of friends and a multitude of women who needed to hear about the love of Jesus Christ.Įarly in the relationship between Beth and the Lifeway video crew, her protection became priority. Together they have shared the love of Jesus with women at events all around the country for more than 17 years. It was through these events that Beth was introduced to, and began to work with, a worship leader she now says is like her son, Travis Cottrell. In addition to the multiple Bible studies, Lifeway and Beth partnered together with (LINK) Living Proof Live events. She has written and Lifeway has produced 17 Bible studies for women. God has richly blessed Beth’s time and effort. When she is convinced that God is in the message, she pursues it with her whole heart and holds nothing back. She doesn’t undertake something unless she is sure that God is in it. She reads everything she can get her hands on and knows the content thoroughly.īeth has a commitment to the message. She has always put an enormous amount of time into researching her topic. Dale McCleskey, her content editor, shares that Beth researches and studies for the better part of a year before writing. Knowing that knowledge and understanding of the topic is a must, Beth obediently began to study, teach and eventually write.īeth was not only a student of the Word, but she became a student of the art of writing. In the early 90s, Beth was teaching a women’s class at First Baptist Houston (Texas), where they asked her for homework. "I got in the car and cried out to God, ‘I don’t know what that was, but I want it!’ My love affair in those sacred pages began that very day and was still with me this morning all by myself at my kitchen table.” “The huge turning point in my spiritual journey was at 27, when I took my first Bible doctrine class and a man walked to the podium, opened His Bible and taught with a passionate love for Jesus and the Scriptures that I’d never beheld in my entire life," Beth said. As a result of the faithfulness of Beth, millions of lives-men, women and children-have been affected around the world. The past 20 years have been filled with surprises and blessings. Together they have honored the Lord with Bible studies, teaching videos, books and live events for women. Lifeway Christian Resources partnered with Beth 20 years ago-each following God down an unknown path. She knew beyond the shadow of a doubt at the age of 18 that God had a purpose for her, a calling, and she sought to honor Him with an intense drive. Twenty years sounds like a long time, but in actuality, it’s just a blip on the screen.Īt that time, Beth Moore was a wife and mother teaching Bible study in her local church.

Like beyond thrilled.” It is characteristic of Murphy that the modulation of his voice barely changes as he expresses this. Murphy tries to recreate his response to this news. “Cillian, I’d love you to play the lead in this new thing,” he said. Nolan doesn’t actually have a telephone, or an email, or computer for that matter: “He’s the most analogue individual you could possibly encounter.” So, Emma said Chris would like a word and passed the receiver, then the director came on the line. It was Nolan’s wife, the producer Emma Thomas, who called Murphy one afternoon at the home he shares with his wife, artist Yvonne McGuinness, and two teenage sons. Previous collaborations with Nolan include the Dark Knight trilogy, Inception and Dunkirk, “significant milestones in my career,” he says, adding that Nolan “might be the perfect director”. Then 28 Days Later Intermission Ken Loach’s The Wind That Shakes the Barley. He appeared first on stage in Enda Walsh’s Disco Pigs, then the screen adaptation. When he first appeared on our screens, looking like a renaissance painting of Saint Sebastian – chiselled head contrasting with translucent blue eyes – it was impossible not to be distracted. While Hollywood might not know him as a leading man, this quietly intense actor has long been celebrated in the UK and Ireland, most notably for his nine-year stint as Tommy Shelby in Peaky Blinders. Murphy’s portrayal is said to be astonishing (“Oscar-worthy” is the buzz).
