... then the door opens and it’s just a man standing there. That’s how I would sell the movie.”. Split takes that as its jumping-off point, but then what’s next? Plenty, according to Shyamalan and the daring Scottish actor James Mc Avoy (Atonement, Filth, the last three X-Men films). In the exclusive video, above, Mc Avoy explains why his director couldn’t give him a straight answer when he asked for the name of his character. When Mc Avoy first appears he’s credited as Kevin — but that’s merely one of 23 people (at least) who inhabit the man’s brain. Universal Pictures. Shyamalan, who’s been fascinated by Dissociative Identity Disorder since James Cameron announced (but later abandoned) a film on the subject in the early 1990 s, also relates to how we all tend to compartmentalize. And to a certain extent, the voices in his own head. “I am a writer,” he tells EW. “But then I walk on set as the director. Then I’m a producer. And occasionally an actor. Those hats swap like different personalities. I have to be ...

After Flip-flop, Franklin And Hill Officially Split

... and give flexibility for the district to potentially consolidate financially with the city. (Hill School District has refused to consider consolidation). Meeting minutes from Nov. 9 show councilor George Dzujna saying that, with consolidation as an option, it might help the school and city work together. Both entities have been meeting at a joint finance committee since last summer, when Franklin School District struggled to fill a $1 million budget gap. Councilor Scott Clarenbach disagreed. He noted that most school board members were against withdrawal to begin with. Councilor Olivia Zink was also skeptical. She said from the materials in front of her, she couldn’t see any certain cost benefits to withdrawing. She only recognized the loss of Hill’s payments into the SAU – it was $93,700 for 2016. Opponents to the plan have said in past meetings that without much tangible educational benefit or cost savings, the withdrawal seemed like retaliation towards Hill for moving its students to Newfound. Those arguments were not enough to sway Franklin city councilors, however. Following the council’s 5-3 vote in November, the state board of education ...

Why It’s Impossible To Predict When That Giant Antarctic Ice Sheet Will Split

... a sign that the entire Larsen C ice shelf—nearly twice the size of Massachusetts—is breaking apart. Then again, it could mean nothing. On the other side of Antarctica is the Amery Ice Shelf, where for 15 years scientists have been monitoring a nearly-calved chunk they call the Loose Tooth. “There’s another one on Ross Ice Shelf called Nascent, as in it’s going to go any day now,” says Kelly Brunt, a geophysicist specializing in large-scale ice activity with NASA’s Cryospheric Sciences Laboratory. “It’s had that name for a long time.” Point is, scientists can’t predict how ice shelves behave. Same for how the chunk will melt once it does break off. Ice and water are complicated things, and the extreme nature of working in the Antarctic makes collecting data on how they work especially difficult. Pretend you have an ice cube ...

Split-second Data Mapping

... lot of server power and was a nuisance for subscribers. “So that’s a big money savings for them, and probably good for the customer, as it’s probably not good to have your SIM card updated so frequently,” Mostak says. Putting Map D on the map. The idea for Map D came to Mostak when he was at Harvard University in 2012, writing his political-science master’s thesis on the Arab Spring, and analyzing hundreds of millions of Egyptian tweets sent out during the uprisings. Using CPU-based database-management systems to analyze the data was a time-waster. Often he would run queries overnight and wake up to find an error, meaning the long process would need to be repeated. “It was a frustrating experience,” Mostak says. At the time, Mostak was also taking a CSAIL database course taught by the co-directors of the MIT Database Group: Michael Stonebraker, an adjunct professor in computer science who founded the pioneering database-management company Vertica; and Sam Madden, a professor of electrical engineering and computer science who serves as a Map D advisor. As a personal ...
