I have an old National Geographic that covered Ghana coffins. Gee I wonder why I kept that one.

FTA:

ā€œWhen I moved to the U.S. from Nassau [in the Bahamas, where she was born], I entered the educational system as a high school student, although I took classes at UC Berkeley. I wrote to professors, telling them what books Iā€™d read on the subject, and asking if I could attend their classes. Many said yes, including Zhang,ā€ she says. ā€œOne day, he proposed proving a special, much simpler case of the conjecture as a homework assignment. As an optional part, he included the original conjecture. And I became obsessed with it,ā€ she adds.

This makes me so happy.

  1. An upcoming Paul Thomas Anderson movieā€¦
  2. ā€¦with Leonardo DiCaprioā€¦
  3. ā€¦ and the movie trailer being on DiCaprioā€™s YT channel

All great, yes. For me, just the little roll up of the carpet at the end of the trailer screams ā€œGotta watch that movie!ā€

My work bestieā€™s (sheā€™s in OH) husband has a minor role in the movie. I believe heā€™s also a consultant. They flew him to CA for a informal screening last month and he liked the end result.

Iā€™m not 100% sure, but I think he plays a fed of some sort? He is a retired Border Patrol agent and he was in a documentary in the late 2010s. A casting director saw it and PTA offered him a part. :grin:

Casting directors are the unsung heroes of the film industry.

Certainly for my friendā€™s husband. He aged out of government work and had to retire. He was working on finding his next gig when this phone call came completely out of the blue. He had a good experience making the film and everyone treated him well. (Iā€™m not sure that this is always the case, but perhaps on PTA films it is?)

Harmonic Analysis. In school we covered that in Vibration Analysis. PURE HELL. Barely escaped that class along with many others. I have a feeling that Young Hannah would have been a much better instructor than ours.

Minneapolis is such a gem of a city. And with climate change, not as severely cold in the winter. (Shhhh!)
