Ugly Mugly Crowned World's Ugliest Dog
Originally published on Mon June 25, 2012 1:37 pm
By editor
Good morning. I'm Renee Montagne. Here's a contest we keep up on - the World's Ugliest Dog. And chosen this past weekend in California, the appropriately named Mugly, whose mug was deemed uglier than 28 other competitors. He's a Chinese crested with that breed's crooked snout and also stringy, white whiskers. Mugly was already the U.K.'s ugliest. His prize - a year's supply of cookies and a VIP hotel stay. Missing from the prize package - grooming accessories. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright National Public Radio.

We hear this a lot; "Our image is our brand!" "Our logo is our brand!" "That ad is our brand!" "Our name is our brand!"
Wait, so what the hell IS your brand?
I like Bill Leider's definition in his amazing book Brand Delusions:
Your brand is a widely held set of beliefs and expectations of what you deliver and how you deliver it, validated by customer experiences.
Until communication was put on steroids thanks to the creation of this little thing called the Internet, "your brand" was just a set of beliefs and expectation of what you deliver and how you deliver it. Customers for the most part never talked. There was no Trip Advisor, Urban Spoon or Yelp. Back then your expectations of a product or service could be influenced by commercials, billboards, and other advertisements.
Companies (Brands) could change the way you thought of them based simply on a catchy tune played before a movie or during your favourite sitcom….
"My baloney has a first name…".
"Everyone loves Marine land!"
"Don't cha put it in your mouth…"
"Let's go out to the kitchen…".
Have you heard an amazingly catchy jingle as of late? Possibly the Charlie Bit My Finger kid or Susan Boyle would be the closest.
Back then it was much easier to get your message out to the masses. You really could create major awareness for your brand or product, and it worked. The problem now is we don't have one channel we always watch, there's several hundred. Also, because we've been seeing these ads since we entered the world it's hard to differ the signal from the noise.
Back to the definition of a "brand".
You no longer are in control of your brand.
Everyone else is. Your brand is what people say about you behind your back. Your brand is what I find when I Google you. Your brand is what your customers say about you once they've left your store. Your brand is what people think of you whether you like it or not.
You can't control it. You can only influence it. Customer service can help it (think Westjet), advertising can grow it (think Tim Horton's), a smart HR policy will enhance it (think Whole Foods), but it's the combination of every tiny little thing you do. Every time you come in contact with a customer or potential customer they either like you a little bit more or a little bit less. If you still think people can be indifferent to your brand, they probably can, but that's a recipe for a competitor to come in and steal those customers away from your mediocre organization.
You're better off creating remarkable experiences with every touch point you have with customers. From answering the phone and e-mailing, to your business cards and promotional items. Everything communication tactic is a chance to show the world what your brand is made of. Hopefully, after coming across your innovative brand several times over, your potential customer says:
"aww shucks, who is this amazing company that keeps making me smile?". Now you don't have to sell to them, they already are sold.
I've been there too, sitting alone on a Friday night wondering; how many people are actually on Twitter in Regina?
Well thanks to a wonderful tool called FollowerWonk we can now find out!
Followerwonk allows you to do searches for people on Twitter. You can search by location, by a word or phrase in the bio or by several different factors. Below the list is made up of people who have self selected their location to include the word "Regina".
The list is ranked by Social Authority. Social Authority is a metric developed by Moz that helps cut through the vanity metrics out there and measures influence on Twitter. Who would have thought that gaining Followers wasn't the only thing you use Twitter for.
I first sorted them by Follower count but it wasn't cool to see all the bots and people who hired bots and the bots who hired people at the top of that list. This is a much better look at the Regina Twitteratti.
Want to find yourself or your ex-girlfriend from Highschool? Hold 'Control' and press 'F' then type your Twitter handle.
(This and 8 more facts about Apple you didn't know from KSP Technology)
If the movie Man of Steel taught us anything it's Superheros have a lot going on in their heads.
Think about it. People (it's not just kids for your big fat information) who have a lot going on in their heads have a hard time paying attention to things that don't interest them. There is far too many things to think about and do than to be wasting time on boring things.
I don't like when I hear a parent say, my son or daughter has ADHD and it's affected them in school. I'm pretty sure in highschool I could never sit still, I talked way too much and occasionally was sent to other classrooms to fetch the "long stand". My grades were always OK, just above average so there was never a need to go get "tested".
As I progressed in my schooling my grades declined. University is a lot more strict on classes and you couldn't just "get by", well I guess you could, I mean, I did but you'll end up on academic probation.
What kids with ADHD don't understand (and few people admit it) is that really ADHD is a Superpower. You can think incredibly fast, creative games are easy, coming up with new ideas is what you do. Well, I should say, what some do, others I'm sure are different. Our brain is working overtime, well not to a brain with ADHD, thinking overtime is what it does. And the best part? Once you find something you like and you'll be glued to it for hours.
It's this extreme focus that gives someone with ADHD a Superpower. They can concentrate longer, think longer and work long at the task they set out to do. But you have to give us a choice, no one likes doing what they're told all the time, myself included. In a classroom, at work, in the gym, remember you don't have all the best ideas, let the other person (or people) come up with the next task, job, or drill. You'll be surprised how people react when you trust them to
1. It makes you feel good.
(^Article from Berkley citing several studies on why doing good deeds makes you feel good)
2. It's the morally right thing to do.
As in, it builds good Karma. (In the Steve Jobs biography by Walter Isaacson he talked about the point in which Apple was coming up with iTunes. Everyone was stealing music on the Internet and Steve didn't agree with that, he wanted a different solution. When the media was critical of iTunes in the beginning Steve was questioned about if iTunes was viable and if it would last, his response was "stealing music isn't going to last, it's bad Karma."
Stealing music hasn't stopped but iTunes has done very well since it's inception. Jobs was right, we don't mind paying a small amount for music, it's the morally right thing to do.
Everyone could use a little more Karma.
3. The more people you've helped, the more people there are out there to help you in the future when you need it most.
Reciprocity suggests that doing things for others is the best way to help yourself in the long run. We're all going to stumble in the future, we're all going to make mistakes, you can guarantee it. If you help people without expecting anything in return, when you're at your worst the people you've helped will step up and be there for you.
Go on, make some good Karma.
Help people, even when you know they can't help you back.
that's why most events aren't that good. How many presentations, conferences, lecture's, speeches, keynotes, and guest talks have you been in that have completely bored you to death? It's become an epidemic, and I hate it.
If you don't intentionally try to create a memorable event why do you think people will remember it?
Start with: why will people remember this? Why will my event be different? How do we get people walking out after the event saying "holy $#!& that was amazing!!". Maybe therein lies the secret: to create "holy $#!&" moments.
Most events aren't meant to be remembered, but why not? Don't you want your next event to go down in history as one of the best _________ of all time?
When planning you must ask how are we going to get people to remember this? If you don't you're almost guaranteed that people will do the opposite.
1. Start off with a big bang
Introductions mean a lot in documentaries. They set the stage for what's about to come. The intro can either turn the viewer on, having them beg for more, or can work against the film by boring the $!%$ out of the audience.
Searching for Sugarman begins with the controversial story of how Rodriguez killed himself. Some say it was a gun to the head, some say it was the most gruesome suicide in history, where he doused himself in gasoline and lit himself on fire in front of an audience. The beginning of this documentary in incredibly captivating, you can't turn it off or switch the channel. You desperately want to know what happens. A sign of a great story is you can't turn away because it's so spellbinding.
2. Introduce Controversy
K2 is one of the deadliest mountains the world, far more dangerous to climb than Everest, for every four people who summit K2, one dies trying. This is the story of the fateful day 11 climbers never returned home from K2. One of the deadliest expeditions in mountain climbing history.
There are conflicting stories on how some people made it off K2 that fateful day, not every agrees to what happened. Were some people hero's? Or were they just trying to be selfish. In desperate times, people do some strange things.
You can't help but be at the edge of your seat the entire time the movie plays. The camera shots, the epic story that changes back and forth, and the mysticism around this life altering mountain that is so very hard to summit.
3. Tell an emotional story that pulls on people's heart strings
Whenever a movie or documentary comes out that features animals, it's hard not to get emotional. Yeah, I cried in Babe, Homeward Bound, and maybe The Lion King, didn't everyone?
We have a natural (biological) tendency to care for babies and animals (and animal babies). When a documentary like Blackfish comes out you know it's going to be an emotional ride but what you don't know about is how these beautiful creatures are treated in captivity. It's horrible. It's hard to watch. You're going to get emotional.
The good news is is that this documentary actually is influencing change in how the public views SeaWorld. Several articles have touched on the protests and how angry people are over SeaWorld, and even a bill introduced in California that could introduce the end of Killer Whale shows in the state as well as importing and exporting Killer Whales.
All of these documentaries can be found on Netflix. I strongly encourage you to watch.
To recap, telling a compelling story in the media, to a friend, on your website, in a video, in an article, remember these three things:
1. Start off with a bang
2. Introduce controversy
3. Pull on peoples heart stings.
"Everybody in this country should learn how to program a computer… because it teaches you how to think." -Steve Jobs
I think this video is amazing. Kids need to learn more about computers, more about the internet and more about how the future is going to be created by them.
Lets teach our kids to code.
Change doesn't "just happen". In any environment forces combined to create friction or resistance which changes the environment over a long period of time. In nature, sacrifices are made to ensure the long term stability of the eco system. You can't have change without sacrifice.
Change and growth don't happen without some sort of friction.
If life is difficult that means you're sacrificing short term gain for a long term payout.
I love the Hugh McLeod quote of "choosing an easy life rarely ends up with much of either".
The most successful people in our world made more sacrifices than everyone else to get where they are.
Have you ever asked a truly successful person about their work ethic? The vast majority of people who are a living success will tell you how insanely hard they had to work to get where they are. It was all about the sacrifices they were willing to make.
Change in your business is just like change in your life. You can't get physically fit by saying you're going to workout and eat better. You get physically fit by doing something difficult. By changing your daily routine, working out for two hours a day and eating right. Fitness isn't easy (for some it is, not my fat ass) but anything in life worth having is worth working for. With hard work comes the results. Like in fitness, like in work.
So you want to make a change? Kill a sacred cow, it's the easiest way to create change. From the book The Chaos Imperative Ori Brafman and Judah Pollack tell the story of when Mayor Bloomberg was first elected Mayor of New York City he didn't like how everyone worked so closed off from each other. His solution to create a change? Move his desk down to the second floor, right in the middle of 51 NewYork City staffers. His desk wasn't any larger than anyone else's. Every cubicle wall on the second floor came down, effectively making the Mayor's perfect open office space. It even got the nickname Bloomberg's 'Bullpen'.
Sacrificing the privacy of a cubicle was the perfect way to create an open workspace.
So you want to make change in your life? What are you willing to sacrifice? What are you willing to give up? Better yet, what aren't you willing to give up? Maybe if you start there you'll understand that it's your own life style that's actually holding you back.

Theatre review: Mpinga MorningsMpinga Mornings is a one-person play told from the perspective of three Rhodesian-born (now Zimbabwe) characters – a farmer's wife, her daughter and their domestic worker. It spans the time from around the start of the Rhodesian Bush War to the land grabs and beyond and shows the different ways in which each character was affected by these events.
Travel like a local in Langa
Rob PetersWe are always on the lookout for authentic experiences. The word 'authentic' obviously means different things to different people, but I recently found a real authenticity on a tour of Langa.
Get creative with Art JammingI've always enjoyed painting and art. I'm not very good at it, but I've always found something relaxing and therapeutic about drawing, taking photos on my own and sitting with a canvas and being able to paint whatever I want to. Needless to say that when I got the chance to experience Art Jamming, I was quite excited about it.

Open Source 3D animation
You need good software and plenty of CPU power to create virtual worlds. Luckily for today's animators, powerful PCs are inexpensive, and some excellent animation tools are absolutely free.
Not so long ago, professional quality 3D animation required expensive workstations. The software they ran, for example Maya (Unlimited Version), cost more than US$ 15,000 early in 2002, and the software technology was hidden behind restrictive licenses. As hardware prices started to plummet, the software prices stayed too high for amateurs at first, and the tough licensing conditions looked like they were there to stay. For most people, 3D animation on home computers was just a distant dream. More recently, with the appearance of the first Open Source programs, this situation has changed dramatically, bringing affordable 3D graphics to the public, and opening up the underlying technologies to let developers produce a whole new collection of applications. The expression "7 degrees of freedom" was coined by the K3D project. It stands for the 6 degrees in 3D space and the additional freedom to distribute and modify source code. This article describes some of the best Open Source tools for 3D animation.

Department of Art Lecture Series
Los Angeles- based Zoe Crosher uses photography as a starting point to examine the fiction of documentary, the materiality of the archive and the imaginary of the image. Through re-photography and ever-evolving iterations of both photographic and publishing-based work, she pursues a practice that is conceptual in orientation yet rooted in vernacular representation. Currently her multifaceted practice continues her conceptual mapping of the fantasy of Los Angeles, exploring the disconnect between the myth of going West and its reality. Out The Window (LAX) is an earlier project examining space and transience around the Los Angeles airport. For it, Crosher mapped and photographed planes coming into land through windows from inside thirty-one hotels surrounding LAX. A four-volume book series created with Aperture Ideas examines her most recent archive-obsessed work, The Michelle duBois Project.
Crosher has taught at UCLA and Art Center College of Design, and was Associate Editor of the journal Afterall after receiving her MFA from CalArts. In 2011 she was awarded the prestigious Art Here and Now Award by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and is a recent recipient of the Rauschenberg Award. Her work has been included in MoMA's 2012 New Photography exhibition as well as extensive exhibitions throughout the United States. Currently she is working with the Los Angeles Nomadic Division (LAND) on The Manifest Destiny Billboard Project, a series she initiated of artist-produced billboards and activations that will unfold along Interstate 10 Freeway from Florida to California through spring 2015. She is also working on a Photography & Repetition Conference in collaboration with Los Angeles based-artist Kim Schoen, to travel from LAXART in Los Angeles in winter 2015, to Art In General in New York in spring 2015 and potentially to Paris in fall 2015.

Carlos + Hope (California, USA) – Travel III
Down to the final stretch of my trip this month, Los Angeles, California. Lots of familiar faces that I haven't seen for a while. This place made me feel really at home. I was welcomed by an ol pal, Victor Parreno and Micke Parreno, who acted as my wingman at Carlos & Hope's wedding. I had the warmest welcome ever.
For Carlos and Hope, thanks for the opportunity and the trust that you gave me. Thanks for that satisfying dinner you prepared for me and the sweetest chat we had. You're genuinely the kindest couple! Congrats and best wishes.
When I was in my plane back home, I realized that LOVE is the strongest force that God created in the universe. It can make the whole world small. It bridges the gap between two different nationalities, cultures and beliefs. In fact it is the force that brought me to five different countries (Vienna, Slovakia, Hungary, Oslo and USA) in 28 days. Made me travel 27,633.3 miles/ 44471.485 kilometers and sit in a plane for almost 70 hours. Result? major jetlag and I'm lovin' it. So, keep the LOVE flowing baby!!

Trade Deficit Narrows as Services Exports Hit Record High
The U.S. trade deficit narrowed in April as exports of services hit a record high and imports fell.

Four major banks agreed to plead guilty Wednesday to trying to manipulate foreign exchange rates and six were fined nearly $6 billion.
Stocks surged Thursday and the S&P 500 closed at a record high as a weaker dollar offered the possibility of stronger sales for U.S. multinationals.
U.S. stocks finished sharply lower Tuesday after a surprisingly wide March U.S. trade deficit raised concerns that the economy shrank in the first quarter.
The trade deficit surged to its highest level in over 6 years in March as imports rebounded after being held down by a labor dispute at West Coast ports.
The pace of growth in the services sector fell in March to its lowest level in three months as exports rose, according to an industry report.
The number of Americans filing new claims for unemployment benefits fell last week, suggesting the labor market continues to expand at a solid clip.
Orders to factories for long-lasting manufactured goods fell in February for the third time in four months, while a key investment category also fell.
Americans today are less likely these days to agree that the U.S. is the world's top economic superpower. Yet we yearn to be something we already are.
Jobs have increased to handle the export of both goods and services, the Commerce Department announces.
With a Friday deadline looming, negotiators for the two sides in the contract dispute at West Coast seaports are laboring to reach a settlement.
West Coast seaports fully reopened Monday after two days during which no ships were unloaded amid a labor dispute between dockworkers and their employers.
The U.S. trade deficit in December widened sharply to its highest level since 2012 as a stronger dollar appeared to suck in imports and weigh on exports.
Ford's net income tumbled in the fourth quarter as the company took an expected charge to deal with its struggling Venezuelan operations.
The U.S. rolls out a sweeping set of measures to ease the 50-year-old embargo against Cuba, opening up the country to expanded trade and travel.
President Obama recently told prominent CEOs that he wants to work with them to overcome stagnant wages.
The U.S. trade deficit unexpectedly widened in September as exports hit a five-month low, suggesting economic fourth-quarter growth could be undercut.
A robust pace of business spending likely buoyed U.S. economic growth in the third quarter, a sign corporate chieftains have confidence in the recovery.
Import prices fell in September for the third straight month as the cost of petroleum products declined and a strong dollar made European goods cheaper.

Global gold demand fell sharply in the second quarter as prices steadied following exceptional circumstances in the same period last year, a report shows.
Microsoft's issues in China conceal a deeper problem. Few people in emerging markets are willing to pay for legitimate copies of its popular software.
Economists have sharply cut their growth forecasts for the April-June quarter and 2014, though they remain optimistic that the economy will rebound.
Global oil demand growth will accelerate next year and will again be met by rising supplies from the U.S. and Canada, further eroding OPEC's market share.
After decades of isolation, America is set to become a major player in the global trade of ultra light oil as interest grows across the world.
The U.S. current account deficit rose in the first quarter, jumping from a 14-month low, as exports slumped and the surplus on primary income declined.
The U.S. trade deficit widened to its highest level in two years in April as imports hit a record high, suggesting trade could be a drag on growth.
The U.S. trade deficit narrowed in March as exports rebounded, but the improvement probably wasn't enough to help first-quarter growth.
It's cheaper to send American cotton abroad to make clothing, making it difficult for Brooklyn Industries to sew its name onto clothing and really mean it.
U.S. import prices rose more than expected in March as food prices recorded their largest increase in three years.

Teen Mom
When Will Leah Messer Give Birth to Her Third Child?
The stork is paying a visit to Teen Mom 2's Leah Messer Calvert! This gorgeous gal is expecting her third child (her first with Jeremy Calvert), which means Ali and Aleeah about to become big sisters.
Leah managed to keep her pregnancy under wraps for several months, and just recently announced the news to Us Weekly. But homegirl has yet to tell fans whether she's expecting a boy or a girl, and is staying hush-hush about her due date.
So far we know that Leah is due "this winter," which could be any time in December, January or February. Not exactly specific.
Leah's gone to great efforts to hide her burgeoning baby bump from the camera, but the paps recently snapped their first pictures of this hot mama, and she appears to be about 6 months pregnant — which puts her due date sometime in February!
Awww, we can't wait for her to pop. But the real question: Will MTV's cameras be around for the big moment? Keep your Uggs crossed, Teen Mom fans!

Changes to TrekToday and Trek BBS
TrekToday's new system
TrekToday is on a new content management system (yes, another one). But this one is the keeper, and will offer us room for future expansion. You'll have working search and news by categories and tags over at www.trektoday.com. Expect more improvements soon, and some refinement of the rough edges.
Twitter is finally working for our news updates. You'll find links on both Trek BBS and Trek Today (look out for the big blue bird!). There is also a link to our Facebook group. Basically Facebook will be more for promotion of the site, and for important updates. Twitter will be an alternative to our RSS feed to keep up to date on actual Trek news.
Trek BBS right column change
UGO is allowing us to implement a different banner size on the right hand side. This banner is wider (not such an issue with higher resolutions on modern screens) but much shorter. The ads seem of much higher calibre, as this is an increasingly popular banner size. But it allows us to pack in more content underneath. Right now you won't see much difference underneath -- the priority today was getting everything up and running. But in the future the right hand column will offer more ways to view and find content on both Trek Today and Trek BBS. Premium members have got the wider column too, because of the upcoming content changes.
Still to come...
|August 21 2009, 01:11 AM
Re: Changes to TrekToday and Trek BBS
I understand from feedback that a few people find the change of page width strange. But it has only been up for a few hours. Changes are strange at first, so I ask you be patient until you get used to the new 'shape'. I also want to point out that some of the content will adapt later to make better use of this new space to the right of the page.
Also please bear in mind that this is part of a program of changes. There have been some huge updates today, but more changes are to come. TrekToday and Trek BBS (with the exception of the move to vBulletin) have not really changed in many years. The internet has moved on generally in the way people use websites, and their computer capabilities, so we are changing too.
There are, as always, a small vocal miniority who fear change so much that they resort to hysteria and hostile attacks. However I always respond in what I know best: with facts.
The sites are changing, but are still designed to work with a screen resolution of 1024x768+. Even this resolution is dying out, dropping 5 - 10% a year and was just over 33% at the beginning of this year. But assuming you are one of those 33%, the site will work at your resolution and the Trek BBS still offers more screen space for the 'main content' than many top sites on the internet.
To illustrate, I have attached a rough image comparing the main content area (by that I mean content, not navigation bars, adverts etc.) to top sites such as CNN, the BBC, Twitter etc.
The thing is people wouldn't attack these sites with such vigour and attack their dimensions. But because we made a change today, and despite the changes being ongoing, these people feel they can pass immediate judgement. However I do realize this is a vocal minority, and I thank all those that support out site every day and are eager for the changes we are bringing to make the site more enjoyable for all.

Edit: This is Mac only, but you clever people can probably figure out where to swap image files in Windows.
I was sick of the inconsistency between the rdio app and the miniplayer, so I modified the existing graphics files in the app contents into something closer to the new branding.
Unfortunately I can't edit the code to change things like font colour, so I had to have some darkness in the player, but CLOSE ENOUGH.
You can download the files attached. There are instructions in there. It's just drag and drop, dummy!

*** This review may contain spoilers ***
I do not like to speak ill of the dead (except Hitler and Stalin) but this awful, awful film showed that Anthony Minghella's career was on the slide when he unfortunately passed away. Not that I have liked any of his previous efforts - Truly, Madly, Deeply was an unbelievable bad joke, English Patient overblown with repellent characters, Cold Mountain a waste of space and ridiculously portentous after the big explosion! This though is an attempt at a noughties art-house cross between Antonioni and Bergman that is boring, artificial with again totally uninteresting characters. Jude Law cannot open a film (he just repeats his Closer persona who is looking for love but cannot stop sha***** other women), Robin Wright Penn is a moody Swede going nowhere who is a double of Ulrika Jonsson! Juliette Binoche is prepared to get her kit off to blackmail and not look too good in the nude - brave but irrelevant!And how can you go with a script where the hero talks to his dysfunctional step daughter about communicating to each other in metaphors!! An original screenplay that sounds and looks like a stage play! Possibly the worst and most unprofessional aspect of this movie is the absolutely awful quality of the lypsynching! Give it a miss - theatre audiences obviously did!
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
The film is surely enjoyable compared to "Crash" mentioned by the previous reviewer since it at least does not shout its banalities about human nature and society in your face. The film is well crafted and the cast performs quite decently. On the other hand the banalities are there. The main character attempts to replace the broken communications with his partner with action. He fails and his relationship is remedied with a "sorry" communication rather than with any action. The action itself is full-bodily personified by an ugly Russian prostitute who does not want to "blah-blah" even for money - charming but dysfunctional from a plot view. Since realty is dominantly verbal, the communication between people from different races, social strata and nationalities becomes totally (and unrealistically)unproblematic, leaving drama entirely in the domain of individual characters. Social drama then is only of second order. Bosnian tragedy for instance is reduced to the formula "It's very complex." Urban decay is just a moody setting for the story. The danger of entering into an eternal spiral of self-reflecting communication was cut by a quite naive ending - a harmless lye was presented to the institutions and a meaningful "tuth" was consumed within the couple and the small circle of characters with plot significance. A too Hollywood style happy end for a film that tries desperately to recreate the Britishness of say "Closer".
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
Breaking and Entering is a romantic drama film that stars Jude Law,
Juliette Binoche, and Robin Wright Penn. Set in a blighted, inner-city
neighborhood of London, the film is about a successful landscape
architect whose dealings with a young thief and his mother cause him to
re-evaluate his life.It was written and directed by Anthony Minghella.
Will Francis is a successful landscape architect who runs an upscale business with his friend Sandy in the King's Cross section of London, a neighborhood that has long been plagued by crime and poverty but has lately become the target of a major gentrification program. Will's longtime girlfriend is Liv, a lovely woman troubled by a lack of communication between herself and her husband and emotional problems with their teenage daughter, Bea, who can't sleep and is obsessed with gymnastics. A thief has broken into Will and Sandy's office not once but twice, taking Will's laptop and the company's computer equipment, and Will begins spending his evenings at the shop in hopes of catching the culprit in action. The burglar strikes a third time, and while giving chase, Will sees him make his way into a shabby apartment building. Will learns the criminal is Miro, a 15-year-old refugee from Bosnia. Without revealing what he knows, Will makes the acquaintance of Amira, Miro's widowed mother -- a Bosnian refugee who makes a living as a seamstress. As Will starts bringing Amira business on a regular basis, the two begin an affair which continues even as Will maintains his relationship with Liv.
The complicated interactions involving class and culture that ensue between all these characters remain fascinating despite the fact that this film feels contrived and superficial.Unfortunately,characters don't act logically as the screenplay manipulates them towards deconstructing various social issues.Overall,not all parts of the script are equally well-developed and it leaves us too chilly to care.
Anthony Minghella's 'Breaking and Entering' tells the story of the lives and loves of a group of north Londoners; but I found it an underwhelming affair. Neither Jude Law's flat male lead, nor Robin Wright-Penn's neurotic female one, attracted my sympathy; and the film as a whole had a soft-focus, idealised feel to it, with heavy use of an emotional soundtrack to underscore dialogue that doesn't always justify the treatment, and a story of a love triangle which magically ends with everyone getting what they really want. A certain housing estate in north London features as a backdrop, one you may have seen before in other films: is it really the only architecturally interesting estate in the city? But this is not such an interesting film.

I found this rather boring, in spite of a multitude of critics raving about it. Will Francis(Jude Law)is a partner in a landscape architecture firm that has recently relocated to a different location. The thriving state-of-the-art business now located in a seedy part of town is attractive to a local gang of thieves. Will's partner(Martin Freeman)is aggravated as much as Will with the repeated robberies. Will going in search of the criminals follows a young man to an apartment that he shares with his mother Armira(Juliette Binoche). In spite of having a very lovely wife(Robin Wright Penn), the young architect enters into a torrid affair with Armira and begins his walk on the wilder side. The attraction to this film must be Law. Others in the cast: Rafi Gavron, Vera Farmiga and Poppy Rogers.
Anthony Minghella is an artist of distinction. His current successful
role as writer and director of BREAKING AND ENTERING once again
demonstrates how subtlety and economy can enhance the impact of a
well-devised and well-paced strange story, leaving the viewer with a
true sense of dramatic climax and awe. This is one of those under the
radar films that is as fine as any before the public in the past year.
Will Francis (Jude Law) is a successful landscape architect who with his partner Sandy (Martin Freeman) has just begun a 'community restoration' project in the down and out King's Crossing area of London. Housed in an old building in that area from which the project will develop, they work with the finest of computers and business equipment - an easy target for locals to vandalize. Will lives with the Swedish American Liv (Robin Wright Penn) and her autistic young daughter Bea (Poppy Rogers) in a relationship that after 10 years has grown stale: the friction results in retreating into silence instead of communication. After two burglaries at the business occur, thefts that include Will's own laptop with all of his personal data, Will and Sandy begin nightly watches, hoping to catch the thieves. In this seedy area Will befriends an immigrant hooker Oana (a brilliant Vera Farmiga) while Sandy defends an accused cleaning girl immigrant Erika (Caroline Chikezie) until the two see two young boys breaking and entering on night. The lads are teenage Bosnian immigrants, good kids who are going with the flow of finding the means of survival in London. The boys, Miro (Rafi Gavron) and Zoran (Ed Westwick), escape the chase, though Will's pursuit results in his discovering Miro's home in the projects. Knowing that Miro's mother Amira (Juliette Binoche) takes in tailoring, Will drops off a jacket to be mended and is attracted to the beautiful unattached Amira with whom he gradually begins an affair.
Meanwhile Liv is in therapy with Rosemary (Juliet Stevenson) and attempts to include resistant Will in hopes of healing their domestic chaos. Their relationship is on the brink of dissolution, both adults are fatigued by the management of Bea, a situation which encourages Will to increase his participation in Bea's care, a decision which leads to an accident for Bea at Will's place of work. Eventually Miro and Zoran are captured by the police (Ray Winstone) and Amira is so devastated by the possible incarceration of her son that she takes measures with Will to secure herself. It is the manner in which the 'crime' by the boys triggers the breaking and entering of each of the lives, crippled by shells of defense, which serves as the sensitive resolution of the story.
The cast is perfection, providing plum roles for Law, Binoche, Penn, Farmiga, Winstone, Freeman and newcomer Gavron, each creating credible characters who though with less than pure lives completely drawn our empathy. Minghella's story is important and entertaining and the filming techniques are bold and innovative. Gabriel Yared provides yet another beautiful musical score and the added featurettes are informative - far better than the usual DVD fillers. A superb film, this. Grady Harp

Jude Law, an architect, is feeling terribly distant from his Swedish wife (Robin Wright Penn) and her autistic daughter, so when his King's Cross offices are burgled, a search for greater intimacy begins. A deeply personal tale and a portrait of London's many faces, "Breaking and Entering" is initially compelling. Unfortunately, its second act sags and its resolution comes across as contrived. Juliet Binoche is pretty terrific as the mother of a boy involved in the burglaries at Law's offices; Law is attracted to her and hopes she can fill his need for intimacy. Not unexpectedly, their relationship creates interesting complications. Music by Gabriel Yared, who also scored director Minghella's "The English Patient", has a subdued, dour quality that also describes the overall tone of this movie. There is very little contrast here and almost no sunshine in the bleakness. The feeling one is left with towards this piece is ambivalence.

You can only distinguish honesty if you know dishonesty.
I fell in love with Minghella only with Cold Mountain (loved, loved). So i was looking forward for this movie. And i didn't get disappointed. At all.
And i loved how he mixed moments of great tension with some humor. That's Vera Farmiga's character. Very funny. She play's a prostitute who hangs with Will (Jude Law) when he plants himself outside his office (the object of breaking and entering).
At first it was weird to see Binoche as a Bosnian mom. But she plays it wonderfully, even speaking the language! Jude Law is very charming, as always, giving a great charisma to his character.
The end may be a little too perfect, but the movie is good for itself.
A delight!
When I first came to check for info on this movie, I thought this would
be a bad (or at least, not very good) movie.
But this movie surprised me, it catched me almost from the beginning, the big problem is that it loses you in the middle, and then picks you back up a little further down the road. It's a movie full of ups and downs in interest, otherwise it could have had a better review I suppose.
I didn't care much for Jude Laws performance (not that is was bad, it was nothing special), but I really liked Juliette Binoche in this movie (and I not her biggest fan) you can feel real emotions with her acting, and for me she's the main reason to stick with the movie when it's loosing you.
As for the hole plot of the movie, I would say it's interesting, not very believable though.
This movie shouldn't be your top pick of the week, but definitely try to watch it.
I'm not a fan of director Anthony Minghella.His films The English Patient and The Talented Mr.Ripley,in spite of being acclaimed,had bored me with extremely slow developments.The only film directed by him that I liked was Cold Mountain and it was not great.Breaking and Entering,his most recent film,had good intentions but it's enormously sloooooow.This film has irrelevant scenes which do not add anything to the story(specially,the moments in which the prostitute appears).The movie's running time is of 2 hours but it's so slow that the running time seems to be of 4 hours.The film has a few good things like good intentions,a very good performance from Juliette Binoche and a good characters' development.But that things do not save this movie from being a tedious and extremely slow experience.I do not recommend Breaking and Entering.

Emine Gülbahar Hatun
|Gülbahar Hatun
The interior appearance of the tomb in Gülbahar's mausoleum at the Fatih Mosque, Istanbul.
|c. 1432
Constantinople, the Ottoman Empire
Resting place
|Fatih Mosque, Istanbul
|Known for
|Valide Sultan
|Fatih Sultan Mehmed
|"Gevher-Han Sultan", who married Akkoyunlu Sultan Uzun Hasan's son[1] "Şâh-Zâde Uğurlu Damad Muhammed Mirza Paşa" (d. 1477) in 1474 and Adoptive/Step-son Bayezid II
Emine Gülbahar Hatun (c. 1432–1492) was the first wife Ottoman Sultan Mehmed II, and Valide Sultan during the reign of Ottoman Sultan Bayezid II for eleven years from 1481 until 1492.
She married Ottoman Sultan Mehmed II in 1446 at Manisa.[1]
There are differing views of her origin. The Ottoman inscription (vakfiye) describes her as Hātun binti Abdullah (Daughter of Abdullah), which means that her father was possibly a convert to Islam. Among theories are:
- Albanian origin.[2]
- Pontic Greek from Douvera in Trabzon.[3]
Valide Sultan[edit]
There are differing views of her issue:
- She was mother of "Gevher-Han Sultan", who married the son of Akkoyunlu Sultan Uzun Hasan, "Şâh-Zâde Uğurlu Damad Muhammed Mirza Paşa"[1] in 1474, and the adoptive/step-mother of Bayezid II since they have provided evidence that the daughter of Zülkadiroğlu Süleyman Bey of the Beylik of Dulkadir, Sittişah Hatun[4][5] was the real-biological mother of Ottoman Sultan Bayezid II.
- According to some other sources, on the other hand, she was the real-mother of Ottoman Sultan Bayezid II[6] as well.
When Bayezid II ascended the throne, Gülbahar acquired the equivalent title of Valide Sultan (since Ayşe Hafsa Sultan being the First Valide Sultan as equivalent to the Queen Mother) for eleven years as the widow of Mehmed II.
In popular culture[edit]
In 2012 film, Fetih 1453, Gülbahar was portrayed by Şahika Koldemir.

The graves of Gül-Bahars are very well khown. First one - Gülbahar Hatun I is in Fatih Mosque in Istanbul and the second one - Gülbahar Hatun II is in Gül-Bahar Hatun Mosque in Trabzon. Only the grave of Aisha Hatun, who was the Fourth wife of Bayezid II and the daughter of Alaüddevle Bozkurt Bey, the eleventh ruler of the Dulkadirids centered around Elbistan in Kahramanmaraş, is unknown. We do not have any documents about Aisha Hatun." He supports the theory of "Aisha Gulbahar". Another reason for this confusion is that Bayezid's mother was also Gulbahar.
