CJ @ CineEurope 2016: The Future of Cinema – an Executive Round Table

By and Patrick von Sychowski | July 4, 2016 4:39 am PDT

This is a live transcript of one of the many seminars and presentations at CineEurope 2016. As such it is likely to contain errors and omissions that are more likely than not the fault of the transcriber (yours truly) than the speakers. Sometimes we condense or abbreviate points being made. The text may sometimes not make complete sense as it was made to be heard rather than read. But every effort has been made to present what was said as accurately as possible.

The first session of the 25th CineEurope was a high-level round tables of captains of the industry (no women on this panel) sharing their insights about the future of cinema. Dreamwork Animation’s outgoing CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg was inevitably the star of the show, providing plenty of headline grabbing quotes (“We blew it on 3D,” being just one of them). One of the other rountablers was heard muttering to a colleague before “I wonder if I will get a word in edgeways,” but he didn’t need to have worried as all the speakers had plenty of insights to share. And it would be unkind to deny Katzenberg, now with an eye on his legacy, a semi-final word at what is most likely his last chance to shine at one of these type of industry confabs.

First up was a very short introduction by UNIC’s head.

Jan Runge – Welcome. [We will] try to showcase cutting edge issues that affect you.

He then hands over to Michael Gubbins, calling him “the most sought after moderator on cinema in Europe.” (Hopefully that will still be the case post-Brexit).

Mike Gubbins – 1 hour on future of cinema; not sure what we will do for the second half hour. [audience laughs] Everything will be sorted out. 12 years ago I chaired conference  ‘A future for cinema?’ and we had impending sense of disaster and doom. Those days are long gone. It helped drive a very quick digitisation. Impressive that we sit here as an entirely digital network. Where we go from here. Every single weekend you are in a new cycle, which makes it difficult to take in the big picture. Get past the whole ‘worst year’ or ‘best year’ ever.

We will look at M&A but also building. The notion of new cinemas is an exciting thought. Only one person on this panel is not involved in an M&A discussion. “What we don’t have is a jackpot of synergies,” as Jan Runge said [in reference to EU vs. US]. There are lots of trends that will influence things, such as our suicide mission to leave the EU here in the UK. What we are seeing is a changed relationship between audiences and content and we need to explore that. Look at how we become less reliant on blockbusters getting bigger each year because at some point those super hero will run out of powers.

Gubbins: Awful cliche is someone who doesn’t need an introduction on a panel. And that’s Jeffrey Katzenberg. Dreamworks is a brand in itself, a mark of quality.

Jeffrey Katzenberg: Why do this [merger] with Comcast and why now? I would say it actually caught me quiet by surprise. I was literally within 12 days oaf partnering with some investors out of Hong Kong to take the Dreamworks [Animation] private. They were going to give us a billion dollars. I was signing up for 10 years. Then this call from [Comcast CEO] Brian Roberts. The reason I did this is: I step back at the enthusiasm and resources of Comcast and what they can do with Dreamworks in next ten years, what they can do for my employees, what it means for them. And then quite specifically for the brand.

Steve Burke, head of NBC-Universal, we were together at Disney. We both came away from Disney with appreciation of the brand. Steve expressed that admiration and ambition of what they can do to build that brand. I think Dreamworks has a bigger, better and brighter future inside Comcast than if I had stayed the course and been independent. The future Dreamworks couldn’t be bigger or brighter.

Gubbins: Let reintroduced the exhibitors. David Passman of Carmike. Involved in another big takeover discussion. This is the start with AMC of the world’s biggest cinema chain. Jan, another huge northern European chain.  You had an injection of private equity, which is a vote of confidence in cinema from the money men. Then Paul from Odeon, we’ve talked about takeovers forever. But it is a group that is still expanding.

We need to know the environment talking about cinema. Tell me what they key trends that will most influence cinema.

David Passman: We’re seeing particularly in the US is how we serve our consumers better. We don’t make the movies but what we do is we try to make the movie going experience better than it has been in the past. Innovation on F&B, seating, screen size, full dining, adult beverages (my favourite). Makes it a better night out.

Gubbins: “Adult beverage.”

Passman: At least 6.2% and preferably 40%.

Jan Bernhardsson: I think deeper understanding of our consumers is necessary, track the consumers behaviour, to get the pattern of future. We stand on a platform called ‘customers’. In this future of the digital era it is harder and more work to reach them and very important to know who we are addressing.

Paul Donovan: This reminds of the telecoms industry in the late 90s. Fragmentation, then domino effect and now you have a few super operators. Money is quite cheap right now, [so] now there is a second wave of capital for all the upgrades  of the guest experience, which is actually quite challenging. Having a good capital structure is going to be differentiator.

Secondly, we are not limited by the film slate alone. We have not fully exploited successfully the full appetite, because we have not adopted CRM and analytics, which can unlock that demand. We did research that showed 25-40% that guest of ours to say they want to visit our cinemas more in the future. We have to unlock that potential in the audience. Despite the challenges of consumers being distracted, we can create a virtuous circle.

Katzenberg: I have a different place of observation but I agree with them that there has never been a better time for greater opportunity for innovation.Transforming a legacy business in service of a strong customer base out there. There is another enterprise we can look to that made the transformation – professional sports. Almost every single [US] sports arena has been rebuilt or a new one has been built and replaced. This has elevated the consumer experience. Everything form parking to food and the amount of interactive elements. It is stunning and exciting and engaging. The same way that sports has shown what can happen, sport has never been viewed more on various devices. But attendance of live events has never been higher. We can look to someone else

Gubbins: Two things – supply side discussion and demand on what is the consumer demand side. For virtuous circle – we need to close the circle. But let’s discuss the supply side issue of consolidation.

Passman: Several things drive consolidation. Let me start with my basic premise, we are a mature industry. Attendance is flat to slightly increasing or decreasing in any given year, depending on the product. But it is a mature industry. If you have shareholders or owners, they want to see an increase in profitability. The easiest way to do that in a mature market is to increase efficiencies. Three areas are absolute: purchasing power with studios, Second it is in purchase of food, beverage or inventories, whether seed or popcorn. Third and more obvious is that generally speaking you need only one CEO. So if you are an acquired company, you will be a former CEO (that will happen to me soon). [audience laughs].

Gubbins: We will make a collection for former CEOs at the end of the session. But there are other efficiencies. Data – surely size counts in creating big data.

Bernhardsson: I am an acquired CEO but I stayed. So there is a chance. But we operate in small territories, six countries in the Nordic countries. Getting synergies out of that is hard. You need to look into the logistics when you go in to buy. But some things are the same in Stockholm, Riga or Oslo. And that is processes. And invest in consumer databases. To be top of that you need a high amount of money CAPEX volume. We have a lot of internet companies up north like Spotify and Skype, so we need to be better than the best in addressing the customer in the digital environment.

Gubbins: You can be aggressively local but some things you need to be global.

Bernhardsson: From a consumer perspective we are more e-tailer than a cinema company. Most consumers in Sweden get their ticket on mobil.

Donovan: There are some head office synergies. But looking at sustainable value in the long term it has to be effectiveness in the business. Previously we had 7 separate companies in 7 territories. Now we share best practices and share it across. We have the Digital Innovation Lab and it is our scale and reach that attract those companies. It is how we innovate that will count. Generating your own intellectual property counts. We will see pollination between local operators in towns and cities and mega operators that leverage capital and knowledge in a quite different way.

"The Future of Cinema - An (all-Male) Executive Roundtable"

“The Future of Cinema – An [all-Male] Executive Roundtable” at CineEurope (photo: @patrickvons / Celluloid Junkie)

Katzenberg: What are the big structural things that can be mega game changers, from movie making to movie going? I would offer that single greatest opportunity, a result of these amazing smartphone devices, I go pretty much to the same cinema for years and years. There are maybe one or two cinema near that customer, so there is that relationship between you and your customers. We have made zero effort to capture the relationship in the best way for the eco system.

Hollywood studios spend as much money marketing their movies as they spend making them. Let me repeat that. [He repeats that] Here is the absurd thing; each time you start from scratch. You advertise across a billion people to target 100 million people. We need to engage in a smarter, direct relationship with you, who get the customers through the door. Allows the marketing to be highly more efficient. Billions of dollars of efficiency can be captured and shared, with a value add for cinemas. There isn’t a bigger thing than that. The fact that we aren’t taking that data that you are capturing or can capture. Netflix does this all day long. They recommend content to us based on content that we like. For us not to create that same user interface is a big miss.

Gubbins: This keeps coming through, but I have better relationship with my sports team than than with my cinemas. This will surely come through with diversity.

Katzenberg: The strongest part of the cinema business is the family audience. People like Paul are not able to capture that data of the customer who comes to see “Finding Dory” and then not use it for “Secret Lives of Pets” and then the same for “Ice Age”. $500 million spent to market those movies. It is crazy.

Donovan: Distributors take a film-by-film view of the world and we (cinemas) take a guest-by-guest approach. Spend more money with us and we can measure.

Katzenberg: It is bigger than that Paul, this is a potential for a re-set in the relationship. It becomes a shared goal and you should get paid a bounty for finding that customer for us. It seems so obvious,.

Donovan: I agree with you Jeffrey, we have invested a lot of money. I got into trouble when I told a Hollywood studio that I can’t find the right person in your organisation to discuss this with. I agree that we need a reset. It is starting and the trend of consolidation is going to accelerate that. When you have five screens it is hard to be heard.

Gubbins: Jeffrey’s point is about the culture. I want to move on to innovation. In the 1980s everything was on the floor.  Innovation changed that – multiplexes, as well as VHS and DVD. And then there was 3D, which you Jeffrey helped push. If we haven’t reached the end of interest in 3D?

Katzenberg: I hope this doesn’t sound like sour grapes but we completely blew it on 3D. It was a game changing opportunity. When you think about the enthusiasm when people saw “Avatar” in 3D, when they saw “Monsters vs Alines” and “Life of Pi” in 3D. When we gave them an artistic film that celebrated that experience. Unfortunately right out of the box, a lot of people took the low road and gimmicked it. And we instantly lost the good will and trust and we never regained it. I’m sure when “Avatar 2” comes along, it will be regained. We can capitalise on it when the quality and experience is there. It is the content creators who blew it. Exhibition stood up and made the investment and upgraded and Hollywood dropped the ball. It was incredibly disappointing because we put such a lot of personal capital into it.

David hit the nail on its head, how do you go out of your home and get a super experience in the cinema. Making cinema exceptional is key. Being able to buy your tickets in advance and not having to watch 30 minutes of commercials, offering of food and have a drink (for those of you that drink – I’m sure they were the ones outside my hotel room early this morning). This is not about discovery. The customer has spoken. Exhibition is embracing it. AMC said we have a highly under utilised facility, with too many seats, we can make it more premium. The results are spectacular. These things are self evident. I’m optimistic about the movie experience.

Gubbins: Just like sports, it is still the same game but more enjoyable.

Passman: I look forward to the changes in cinemas in the next ten years. The super hero action figures will phase out. Jeffrey is right about sports. We have kitchens in our home and yet we go out and eat. That is the cinema experience. We have to find more ways for audiences to enjoy movies. We need to spread movies across the whole year. Momentum is important in our business. The more movies we have throughout the year, the more opportunities we have to attract audiences.

Gubbins: Cinemas are not capitalising on word-of-mouth.

Bernhardsson: I am quite confident in the future. I we look at the standard of theatres today, we measure with the best in class. We have opportunities to improve standard more. From programming perspective we are using new technology with old behaviour. We need to improve our programming skills in the digital era.

Donovan: If we simply adopted the same level of knowledge and systems of customer management and digital tool, really capturing social media, then there is a 5-10%1 lift right there. That’s even before we get into areas like gaming and VR, which will be a complimentary experience that we will be offering. But we need to get basics right first. How good are we at the things that will move the needle. We have to raise our game. There is a learned helplessness of saying that ‘the content is no good’.

Gubbins: Nobody has mentioned event cinema yet. It seems like a clue to the the overall experience of cinema. But feels like we are a long way away.

Passman: Jeffrey pointed out the blockage – marketing. If our audiences knew that opera was available on a Sunday afternoon they would fill the cinema. Social media is part of it, local theatre management is part of it. With digital we can do it on a grander scale. But how do we serialise, or make our audiences aware that they can come and see the finest opera in the world at one tenth the cost of seeing that opera on stage.

Gubbins: Looking at big trends of film as a whole , looking at streaming, there is a vote of confidence from the likes of Amazon having cinema releases, but how will cinemas interact with other platforms.

Katzenberg: We have spent 55 minutes about the importance of the movie going experience One of the other things is an opportunity is for us to get in better sync with what the post-theatrical relationship and how does everybody prosper. Too often we get into dogmatic red lines. It has to be 90-100 dos type of insistence. Marketing cost is the driving reason for that. There needs to be a pretty serious re-alignment. Protecting the theatrical window will not work by denying customers access. I go back to sports, because attendance has never been higher, despite it being available on more devices than ever. [Discusses sport US city ‘blackouts’ in team cities]. All boats have risen with the tide. Being dogmatic is not logical. There needs to be opportunistic way the everyone can share and prosper.

Donovan: People who love movies love movies. The people who have the most digital devices also go to movies a lot. Our ‘Unlimited’ card subscribers – 70% of those also have a Netflix subscription. Our business model is still hugely fragile and sensitive to small changes. I share an acceptance that the world is going to change, but you don’t set off on a journey where you don’t know the destination or the route. So we all need confidence.

Gubbins: There will be negotiations and discussions. It all keeps coming back to audiences. As Jeffrey said, it is a culture thing.

And with that the first session of CineEurope 2016 was over.

Protecting Furniture and Floors While Doing an Interior Paint Job

It all starts with choosing the right color scheme for your interior. It not only requires a certain amount of creativity and imagination but also someone who is experienced and skilled in paying keen attention to details. But of course more is involved than having a rough idea about the paint color to have a positive result. Many colors will look good as long as they are applied in the right manner. However, the best paint jobs result from looking at your interior space with a keen and critical eye.

Professional painters can also be used as design consultants.  They can help you choose the right color scheme to match your aesthetic and give your home that exact feeling your looking for. C.E.T. Painting  is a fully licensed painting firm with professional painters that excel in interior, exterior and commercial painting. If you reside around Ossining, NY and have decided to do some paint job to your house, look no further than C.E.T. Painting.  You can rest assured that we will make sure to protect your furniture and floors while we work.

At times, you may want to do the painting yourself rather than choosing a painting contractor.  Our experts’ advice before embarking on any paint job is that you should have proper interior preparations. Take your time to create a working list which will serve as a valuable and helpful reference during the project. Doing this will save you hours of frustrations as well as the avoidance of setbacks. The next step you should take is protecting your furniture, wall plates, and your floor:

Furniture Protection

It is essential to move furniture out of your way while painting. Pro painters’ advice is that you should move furniture out of the room or alternatively, move them towards the center of the room. It is crucial that they are far from the walls. You risk damaging your furniture if you fail to do this. Also be cautious when dealing with the bathroom. Make sure you protect the sides of the toilet tank. Use painter’s plastic to cover the furniture. It is advisable to completely remove items that are vulnerable to paint.

Remove Wall Plates

Removing furniture from the walls will expose outlet covers and wall switches. Remove them along with return and vent covers. Be keen to avoid pulling loose or tearing the drywall surface paper.

Floor Protection

Layout floor coverings in your working areas. If you are painting the walls, provide cover three feet away from the walls. Cover the entire floor if you are painting a ceiling. Canvas drop cloths are the best carpet covers. Unlike plastic, they easily spread out. They also stay put without tape and will not cause the ladder to slip-slide on the carpet. Bunching them along the walls will make sure they do not move. Use dustpans or putty knives to scoop up spills. Laying protection over your wall not only saves your floor, but it also allows you to spread your painting tools if they are constrained to a single place. This will help you work at a faster rate without much restriction while painting.

At C.E.T. Painting we have professionals with years of experience in painting under their belt. Satisfaction of our clients is our mantra. We not only do their paint job within the time specified, but we also do a great job. We take every paint job seriously as if it was our last job. If you are not satisfied with their results, we offer a free paint guarantee which means you will not pay a dime until your paint job expectations are met. Give us a call (914) 615-1415 to make an appointment.

Guest post by smokervoter in California about Proposition 56, which will slap a $2 tax on every packet of cigarettes:

For various reasons the Medi-Cal indigent childrens’ healthcare program expanded precipitously in 2014. This left a $1.1 billion dollar budget shortfall. The initial solution was to pass the hat amongst the players in the health insurance industry to cover the deficit. Understandably some smaller companies who don’t service the program balked. There developed a major impasse.

The solution followed a path that had worked in untangling a similar stalemate involving the federal version of indigent childrens’ healthcare: “Tax not you, tax not me, tax that fellow behind the tree”. And that person behind the tree predictably materialized in the form of the thoroughly demonized smokers of America.

Proposition 56 is designed to shift the responsibility of balancing the books of over-promised Medi-Cal benefits for the poor and young from the health insurance providers to the smokers and vapers of California. Not only is this inherently unfair but it’s an extremely regressive tax given the fact that the majority of smokers happen to earn less than average income. Smokers are already subsidizing the federal version of this same program to the tune of one dollar per pack.

Between the federal and Prop 56 levies, a minimum-wage-earning smoker/vaper will wind up contributing about $1,000 per year “for the children”. And they’ll likely not even get a Thank You for Smoking in the process.

And the health insurance industry will breathe in a heavy sigh of relief. Dishonorable as it may be, “tax that fellow (or woman) behind the tree” still works every time.

  1. whats this like the 4th time in ten years the Nazis in California have tried for this stupid tax.

    I remember the MEATBALL TAX…………….what a proper name for a tax MEATHEAD

  2. Tom says:

    Sugar tax in California again this time too – in SF, Oakland and Alameda, all across from one another on either side of the Bay and Berkeley, also part of that assemblage of cities and perhaps the most radical leftist of all, already passed theirs last election time. This time it is only a majority, not a 2/3 majority required in SF and if it passes, then all sugar products will be taxed 1-penny PER OUNCE, not per drink, but PER OUNCE. After that gets passed,then they will more than likely start upping it the way they do sales tax until it becomes 2-pennies, 3-pennies, etc. The new tobacco and vaping $2 per pack tax might also, once it becomes established and is cited as “great success”, start seeing that increase and maybe with no vote needed, once set up. So if anyone not a smoker or vaper thought they are getting away scott free, time to think again, because the onerous smoking bans of CA and SF have now led to the upcoming sugar taxes and expect more.

  3. smokervoter says:

    Frank, I noticed a glaring typo in my post. In the second paragraph I wrote “Tax not me, that not thee, tax that fellow behind the tree”… “that not thee” should read “tax not thee”. Wouldn’t you know I’d mess up my moneyshot line. Is is possible to fix it?

  4. smokervoter says:

    Wow, I messed it up even worse than that… It should read Tax not you, tax not me, tax that fellow behind the tree. We should jettison the word “thee” completely.

  5. Rose says:

    I got my first pouch of Government brand rolling tobacco yesterday afternoon, a bit of an anti-climax, plain chocolate brown, with relatively tame artwork by anti-tobacco.

    It says, Quit smoking – stay alive for those close to you, with a small advert for the nhs quit website underneath.

    Perhaps the next one will be more impressive.

Improve Transportation Services

Expand services, optimize the riding experience, and increase awareness

March 1, 2020

Columbia County Public Transportation has improved since I took office in January 2018, but we still have a long way to go.

Expanded Routes

In Summer 2018, we piloted a Summer Youth Bus, making it easier for young people to participate in youth programs. In Fall 2018, we launched a new after-school bus. These routes continued in 2019 and 2020.

In April 2020, we are expanding the hours of the Shopping Shuttle Service.

We should continue to explore expanding times on existing routes and adding new ones.

Improved Bus Fleet

When I first came into office, the county didn’t have enough quality, functional vehicles. There were extremely cold days when the bus had no heat! In December 2018, we got two new buses. We added two additional buses in 2019.

Improve Awareness

Many people are unaware of what services are offered and how to use them. Given that we provide a service, we should make stronger efforts to make sure people are able to access it.

Create Accurate Route Maps and Schedules

I discovered that many of the posted schedules were inaccurate and confusing. Updated versions of the Shopping Shuttle and Albany Route—with map and schedule— have been published and distributed. We still need to update the schedules for the additional routes.

published routes with corrections
Route schedules were riddled with inaccuracies and did not have a clear route.

Update County Website

I’ve helped make improvements to the County website. We added routes and shuttle options and cleaned up the language.

Improve Signage

We have added four bus stop signs in the city of Hudson and three in Greenport. Bus stop signs are an important tool to attract riders and build the brand identity of a system. Bus stops should be clearly visible along with route and schedule information. The previous signs had incorrect schedule information and listed a bus company that no longer runs the service.

Several street signs
New bus stop sign at 7th and Warren

Create Alert System

Riders can now get updates on snow emergencies and other changes in service by signing up for Columbia County’s NY Alert.

Publicize Transportation Services

In addition to updating to signs, flyers, and the website, I’d like to see other outreach efforts.

Transportation Key to Workforce Development

Parents face unique challenges accessing workforce programs and employment. Many have difficulty managing complex schedules or need supportive services such as child care to participate in training or work. They also need supports like transportation.

Family-Centered Approaches to Workforce Program Services

job outflow graphic
Most residents cross the Hudson border to get to work

Travel is an essential aspect of our economy, and most employees travel to work. According to the 2017 Housing Needs Assessment of Columbia County, most jobs in Hudson are filled by people who live outside of Hudson and most employed people who live in Hudson are employed outside of Hudson. The 2017 Columbia County Public Transportation Plan notes that while “major employment opportunities are spread throughout the county…The County of Columbia Public Transit System operational times are currently not condusent (sic) with many employment transportation needs…”

The Housing Needs Assessment concludes, “Families who once rented homes and apartments near the urban centers of the county are thus forced to move further out into the country, where they face transportation issues back to major centers of employment and to schools. This migration out of Hudson is driving the numbers of homeless persons up in other areas of the county.” Public transportation needs to fill this important gap and help people access jobs as well as services.

Coordinate and Plan

People living below the poverty level are less likely to own or have access to a personal vehicle to get to work. Compared to other commuters, people below the poverty level are more likely to use lower-cost options such as carpooling, taking public transportation, or using other transportation modes, but such options are less available in rural areas. Some states and localities around the nation have instituted methods to optimize federal funding programs into coordinated and unified systems to serve their citizens, yet creating and administering such coordination is an arduous task. As a result, many rural transit services remain expensive to subsidize and unable to fill the transportation needs of rural businesses and citizens.

Task Force on Agriculture and Rural Prosperity Report

We should be thinking bigger and looking for ways to better coordinate all of our transportation services. I suspect that if we look at needs and services across departments and agencies that we will find opportunities to make improvements. Consider the Department of Social Services, Meals on Wheels, Health Consortium, the bus proposal in the Downtown Revitalization Initiative, and the County’s already established bus routes.

We need to continue to improve these services, optimize the riding experience, and increase awareness.

Columbia County offers public transportation from Hudson to shopping areas, Columbia Greene Community College, and Albany. In addition, Columbia County funds initiatives for senior, veteran, and medical transportation.

What do you think about County public transportation? Let me know how it should be improved.

Interesting facts about Silver Nitrate

Post by bejoy »

Silver nitrate is an inorganic chemical compound with formula AgNO3. Silver nitrate is basically silver salt, which has powerful antiseptic properties.

German Catholic Dominican friar Albertus Magnus, created silver nitrate in the 13th century. By dissolving the silver, he documented the nitric acidâ€™s ability to separate gold and silver. Johann Shulze used silver nitrate for photography, for the first time in the 17th century.

Properties of Silver Nitrate:

It is a colorless, odorless solid crystalline compound.

Silver nitrate is soluble in water, acetone, ether, ammonia and glycerol.

Melting point: 209.7 Degree Celsius, boiling point: 440 Degree Celsius.

Molecular weight: 169.872 g/mol.

It has bitter, metallic taste and it is not flammable. It is an oxidising agent.

Preparation of Silver Nitrate:

Silver nitrate is prepared by adding silver in nitric acid in the presence of fresh air.

3Ag + 4HNO3 (cold and diluted) -> 3AgNO3 +H2O +NO

Ag + 2HNO3 (hot and concentrated) -> AgNO3 + H2O +NO2

Silver Nitrate Uses:

Acts as precursor to other silver compounds: Silver nitrate is combined with halide salts of potassium or sodium for forming insoluble silver halide in situ in photographic gelatine, which is then applied to polyester or tri-acetate strips, while making photographic film.Silver nitrate reacts with chloride, bromide and iodine to produce white, cream and yellow colored solids. Silver nitrate is also used in preparing some silver-based explosives through a precipitation reaction, such as the fulminate, acetylide or azide.

Quote of the Day: Little House on the Prairie

November 24th, 2011

Thanksgiving dinner was good. Pa had shot a wild goose for it. Ma had to stew the goose because there was no fireplace, and no oven in the little stove. But she made dumplings in the gravy. There were corn dodgers and mashed potatoes. There were butter, and milk, and stewed dried plums. And three grains of parched corn lay beside each tin plate.

Laura Ingalls Wilder –On the Banks of Plum Creek (Little House, Book 4)

I love the combination of what they had at this meal, simple, seasonal, and local.

One of the reasons I enjoy Thanksgiving so much, is that it’s one of the few remaining semi seasonal meals left in our culture: cranberries, turkey, sweet potatoes, potatoes, and squash. We’ll not think about the green bean casserole or the jello mold that sometimes appears on the table at some gatherings.  Whatever you happen to be eating today – enjoy!

Happy Thanksgiving from Chiot’s Run.

2010, there’s going to be a reckoning…

This summer sees the culmination of a seed process; one that has been under way for a fair time, one that is already visibly manifesting into concrete reality, and which will not be fully complete until 2015; crucially however, this summer will mark a crossing over, a point of no return, and the world will never be the same again once it is done with.

A bold claim? There are bold moves afoot in the heavens and these will be felt on every level of human existence, from the deeply introspective and personal to the global, and those effects are going to influence everyone alive today; it is my view that we, as a global community, have planted a dubious seed, and now it’s harvest.

The chart you  see below is the Grand Cross which reaches a critical stage of cardinality on August 1st 2010 at 13:23 UT. This is the point at which the transneptunian Hades crosses into Cancer, thus switching the configuration into full effect. This has been a long time coming of course; the Saturn – Uranus oppositions that have so characterised recent months began in November 2008 and will complete – critically – 5 days before this event; so that impasse is a done deal: Hades crosses sign, a mistake is revealed, or the full and difficult consequences of that past error are finally appreciated and the Grand Cross starts to kick off. Bear in mind that here we have a Grand Cross containing both Mars and Uranus in opposition; thus there are hasty, impulsive actions, attempts to negotiate out of a confrontational position (Mars in Libra flatters to deceive here and is oppressed by super-strong-armed Saturn in his exaltation and ruling Pluto: this is important, as we shall see.) The quality of cardinality is to attempt to run before you can walk; this pattern has recklessness, impetuosity and lack of proper planning and preparation written all over it.

Okay, let’s slow down, because this is a complicated picture, which I shall try to describe in more detail. We have a grand cross formed from (Jupiter + Uranus + Hebe) squaring (Minerva + Hades + Kronos + Isis) squaring (Saturn + Mars + Lilith + Panacea) squaring Pluto. Trust me when I tell you that it’s not easy to decipher.

And too this is going to work at two levels. If like me (and Noel Tyl, Harrison Ford, Leonardo DiCaprio, Derek Jacobi, Sissy Spacek) you have the four angles of your chart on the four Aries’ Points of the chart then you’re probably in for a hell of ride. You can join that club too if you’re experiencing your Saturn return, Uranus half-return or Pluto square in the next few months, and too, you really ought to take serious notice if you have important planets on or near any of these Cardinal hotspots or indeed within a degree or so of 15° of the fixed signs. If any of these conditions are true, then this Grand Cross is not going to be particularly abstract for you: indeed, it’s going to get very personal. I can explain how it’s likely to affect you if you fall into this category (and I shall in a future article), and actually, you’ll already be feeling the effects, probably quite intensely.

On the other hand, even if you’re not in the target group, due to the inherent weight of energies of these major patterns in the stars and the crucial observation that the Cardinal points by their very nature have global reach, you’re still going to be affected. Rather synchronously too, this event is all about the in group and the out group as we shall see.

Now we already understand that the Cardinal Cross is about impetuosity, about precipitate action, about plans which haven’t been thought through properly, but in this particular configuration, Saturn is the real powerhouse and he is running the show; he is in his exaltation, triplicity and term, while Mars is struggling to stand up and be counted; this suggests to me that negotiation and compromise is the favoured strategy; Saturn lends caution and restraint, diplomacy is the order of the day, but really, the situation demands action; this Cross has a feeling of too little, too late about it.

Let’s break it down. Jupiter, Uranus and Hebe ruled by and opposed by a Mars that is forced into a compromise position says that the subservient group (those not in power) is pushing for action; people want something done – Hebe on the Aries Point puts the working man (and woman) in the spotlight, while Uranus is pushing for a change, it’s volatile. Jupiter wants equity and fairness but Saturn is opposed; the authorities, the law-makers are resistant.

Then we have Minerva, Hades, Kronos and Isis squaring this position. Here then we have a cacophony of contradictory expert opinions about how to fix the problem, strategies are devised, but nobody knows what to do, who to believe? Do we believe the government, our religious leaders, philosophers and legal experts or do we just look out for ourselves? Remember we have a Grand Cross, whichever direction you take, all you’ll achieve is to create an imbalance.

Now there’s Saturn, Mars, Lilith and Panacea; and here we have passive-aggressive diplomatic efforts that are tasked with trying to find compromises and solutions, but with a hidden agenda (Mars in Libra is manipulative, not necessarily dishonest, but it can’t get what it wants by asking for it outright, so it charms, it flatters, it gets you into its way of mind) and with Lilith there are choices being made about who to save and who to sacrifice. And despite the fact that Libra is involved, don’t expect it to be women and children first while the men stalwartly smoke cigars and the string quartet plays on.

And then finally we have Pluto, sitting menacingly in the shadows and pulling the strings, but crucially he is under Saturn’s influence, vying for his customary control but having to take the Capricorn perspective into consideration.

Now, consider the polarities alongside the rulerships. Pluto is in Capricorn ruled by Saturn, so the aggressive diplomacy, deal-brokering and compromise of the government is a cover for the real people who are running the show: big business. The Hadean mistake that opposes this is in Cancer, so the problem relates to property, and with Pluto, property loans, mortgages, credit obtained against the value of real-estate. We’ve seen this dynamic over the last couple of years plain as day in the so called credit (Pluto) crunch (square Saturn), but this Cardinal Cross is the crisis point because the financial experts (Kronos) made a big mistake (Hades) and now the piper has to be paid. Jupiter is retrograde and opposed by Saturn/Lilith, I’d say this means that the ordinary people are the ones that lose out; contracts get broken, confidence collapses and everyone starts to realise just how big (Jupiter) the mistake (Hades) is. I’m no financial expert (hey, I’m a full time astrologer!) but what I see here is that there is an enormous financial hullabaloo due to a property collapse (Cancer/Capricorn), and it’s going to be a deeply unchivalrous fight for survival (Aries/Libra). I see correlations everywhere. Hades conjunct Minerva squaring Lilith suggests strategies that are purposefully designed to save some at the expense of others. It’s an updated class war, a Marxist historian’s perspective writ large, where the ‘ordinary man’ is sacrificed to ensure the survival of a privileged élite.

I also think it’s significant that Pluto is in Capricorn because the Pluto in Virgo generation is switching into the easy power dynamic of the Pluto trine; the reins of power are being handed over by the Pluto in Leo generation so the agenda has changed. Pluto destroys what it values the most, often as a reaction against the preceding generation’s dynamic: Pluto in Cancer destroyed the family: refrigeration freed women from the kitchen so they could go out to work for the first time while the men fought nationalistic wars. I wrote about this in some detail in a previous article if you want to follow that logic further, but crucially the Pluto in Virgo generation are getting a big push in the direction of manifesting their agenda with this configuration. There will ultimately be a levelling: that’s the Plutonic agenda, Virgo wants us all to be equal, not because, like Libra, it values harmony, but because of inverted modesty: it’s the equality of the socialist, the trades unionist, the proletarian.

We live in a world of dwindling resources and increasing appetites. A miniscule minority live like Emperors while a desperate and precarious majority scrabble their way from one day to the next. The danger for the Virgo generation is that in wanting to fix the inequality of its forbears, it uncovers a problem which cannot be solved. There isn’t enough to go round, no matter how you cut it up, analyse it, quantify it. But better, says Pluto in Virgo, that we’re all peasants together, subsisting in a Stalinist dystopia than we have to suffer aristocrats, plutocrats and kings.

Now if you think this is off the mark, then read this BBC column and see how it’s steeped in Virgoese (it’s just two days old, and Obama has Saturn within minutes of the eclipse point of January 15th: the cogs are clicking into place and it’s happening right now. He’s not so much the leader of the free world as it’s accountant.) So yes, there will be a reckoning, but the die-hards of the old-guard are going to go down fighting, they’ll take no prisoners and ask no quarter, but when the dust finally settles, the world will look different. Will it be better?

Not for a while.

  1. Hey Jeremy are learners welcome as well as practisers?

    I’ve got the aforementioned shenanigans going on at the four corners of my chart and it’d be great if I could hang here for a while and imbibe. I like the way you rationalise.

    I’ve been thinking/reading about Hegel and Marx and their eras recently and due to my natal uranus conjunct sun in libra being tweaked at the moment by the astro mentioned above I’ve been able to really feel the chartist/luddite spirit pulsing in my veins. I’m certain we’re reaching capitalism’s climax.

    I was considering food shortages in particular – would it be ceres I would look at to see food related issues?

    Interesting you mention all this the day a new island is being born off the coast of Japan. Hades ahoy.

    1. Even learners are just practising. We never stop right?

      I think that capitalism is on the way out too, have thought it for a long time and I just wish that more people would see through the illusion of money. They’re calling it “Quantitative Easing” these days, but what it essentially means is that the central banks ‘make up’ more money which they then lend to the ‘great unwashed’ at exorbitant rates of interest. It’s a complete illusion, and we’re all enslaved by it. There’s enough wealth in the world for us all to live, just not like kings.

      There are a number of combinations that might suggest food shortages. Ceres/Saturn for one, Moon/Saturn, Saturn in Cancer or the 4th, Hades represents a deterioration, in Cancer with food, square Jupiter – it’s not plentiful enough, square Saturn – there’s a supply restriction, opposing Pluto, in Capricorn, it’s being controlled by the people at the top.

      Ceres does join the fray during May of this year, so I imagine there will be stories relating to food resources at that time.

      I didn’t see the story about the island, but I did notice today that Hubble just took new pictures of Pluto. Eek!

  2. I suspect that I am in the category of people that will be profoundly effected by these upcoming transits. First, I am in the Pluto in Virgo generation– 24 degrees. I currently have transiting Uranus opposing Pluto right now– AND transiting Pluto squaring Uranus– AND transiting Saturn conjuncting Uranus. It’s intense.

    1. wow, another one of you. I have a friend born 12/66, the configuration you describe is on her Midheaven/Nadir, squaring her Sun in 1st house. She was diagnosed with a “very strange form” of breast cancer in November, just had a mastectomy, and they were not able to get all of the cancer. Trial by fire is an understatement. I hope the outcome of your transits is positive.

    1. Well, I just think we’re not supposed to see Pluto. Only the dead got to see him, that makes it feel very wrong to me :/

  3. Jeremy..thanks for hooking up with me on the blog, I am honored. Your description of rigid structure and the God’s humor fits right in with my favorite quote: Man plans, God laughs. Great article by the way..

  4. I have a son who turns 13 on 6/24. His Sun/Merc is 3 Cancer, his Midheaven is 1 Cancer, his Asc. is 1 Libra. He also has Mars at 3 Libra. 2 years ago I saw the upcoming configuration (cardinal cross) and it kept me up every night for 6 months, worrying. I knew the parental axis was involved, I just didn’t know *which* parent. Turns out it was Dad- who was diagnosed with ALS, very advanced, in September. You can bet, however, that when Mars reaches Libra, I intend to tie my kid up and keep him at home with a helmet on his head for a good month. He wants to join soccer; I laugh out loud at the concept. He wants to go to the skateboard park, too bad, for that month he’ll be kidnapped and held for ransom by me; the fates will have to pay my price to reach him. His Moon is 27 Aquarius; there are times when I’m very grateful to be an astrologer, and this is one of them. I don’t believe that “fate” won’t find him if there are events outside of his father’s terrible disease meant to find him, but I’ll be damned if I’ll make it easy.

  5. Hi all,

    Lets see who is in the worst off here.

    I think I am vying for the top prize – I have Sun, Moon and Mercury all in the first 3 degrees of Cancer, all of that squareing Pluto and Uranus natally. Midheaven is 29 Pisces. Beauty! My husband is a double Libra what happy chappies we are about to become!
    But, no matter how scary all of this sounds, and it surely does, what can we individuals do…Not much, I am afraid, so no point worrying about something we cannot change. I don’t have the house big enough to stockpile food, don’t have a piece of fertile land, only a few measly terracota pots with some wilted basil and mint in them. That will really keep us going for long…
    I worry the most about my parents as my Pluto square to my personal triad comes from the fourth house. But again, what can I do…sigh….
    Hey, imagine the children born on days around the grand cross on cardinal points, I wonder how they might manifest this cheerful party…

  6. I know some solutions but they are challenging ones. And they address only some issues.

    Permaculture/ Local communities and ecovillages /Self-sufficiency/ Earthship houses are a excellent possibilities for improving the food and the environmental issues. But this cannot be applied to everyone. And it requires money and some work.

    I think this cardinal is a great crises that will stir many into a completely new direction, just like it happened when Uranus transited Aries in the 1930s, the 1840s (Marx time) or during the 1770s (American Revolution). And there is a pattern of revolution. If this hold, the US and Europe will have a new revolutions by 2028. Of course, much will happen until then.

    There is a new direction. And this time it should be a BIG one, because of the Grand Cross at 0º Aries. Global depression, volcanic eruptions, pandemic flu, civil unrest, there is SO much around!

    What do you all think?

  7. So … among all this, is there any good news?

    This is part of a “homework” assignment from my mom. I showed her all the collective Pluto transits over the next few years for various family members. She is completely new to astrology, but asked a wise question after I explained that astrology isn’t only about Pluto, which was, “So now tell me what GOOD things may happen?” And I wondered, in your analysis, did you see anything supportive peaking through, like a ray of sun in the middle of the storm clouds?

Crimson Fists Hellblasters ‘Squad Ordoñez’ Complete

An overheating weapon is the Emperor’s way of telling you you should have killed your target with the first shot.

Brother Hestos, Hellblaster

Finally, a mighty two years and two months after initially starting work on the unit, the five-man Crimson Fists Hellblasters ‘Squad Ordoñez’ is now complete!

Of course that hasn’t been my only hobby focus during that time, as evidenced by my other blog posts. The reason it took so long is that while attempting to make the second model in the unit I accidentally broke four pink LEDs, which was all my remaining stock at the time. After that I rage quit, returned the half finished model to the Shelf of Shame for 18 months and moved on to the Reivers, which are still also unfinished now I think about it!

Don’t be cautious of supercharging your plasma incinerator. Be cautious of the target that requires you to supercharge!

Brother Tiro, Veteran Hellblaster

I’m afraid I don’t really have anything new to say about the techniques involved in making these models. I used my tried-and-tested LED Plasma Weapon technique that can be found in my Tutorials section. I think it’s worth mentioning that if you feel like giving LED plasma weapons a try but that tutorial looks a bit daunting, then I also have my Simple LED Plasma Weapon tutorial, which uses a slightly different and significantly easier technique.

So there we are then, the result of over two years effort and one step closer to completing the 2017 Dark Imperium boxed set! I’m reasonably pleased with the outcome, although I may revisit the very first model in the unit as both my modelling and painting have improved a lot since then. But that’s something for the future – right now I’m just relieved I don’t have to think about or look at Hellblasters again for a while! Now I guess I’d better get back to those Reivers…

Christopher S. Rose (Ph.D., University of Texas at Austin, 2019) is a social historian of medicine, focusing on the nineteenth and twentieth century Middle East. Fall 2020 is his sixth semester as an adjunct instructor for the School of Behavioral and Social Sciences at Saint Edward’s University in Austin, Texas.

He has also taught as a Lecturer in the Department of History (spring 2020) and Assistant Instructor in the Department of Middle Eastern Studies (summer 2017) at the University of Texas. Prior to pursuing his doctorate, he acquired nearly two decades of administrative experience at the University of Texas. He was a postdoctoral fellow with the Institute for Historical Studies at UT for the 2019-20 year.

His monograph project, tentatively titled Home Front Egypt: Famine, Disease, and Death during the Great War, describes how price control systems intended to ensure an adequate supply of food for the Egyptian population during the World War I (1914-1918) were neutralized by requisitions of labor and foodstuffs, a situation that resulted in inflation, food shortages, and starvation among civilians. Using demographic and statistical data, he argues that malnutrition facilitated the rapid spread of disease throughout the country, killing more people than military action. The ‘Spanish’ influenza pandemic alone claimed over 150,000 lives — over one percent of Egypt’s population — in the last two months of 1918 (an article about the pandemic in Egypt is forthcoming in the Journal of World History).

His work contextualizes civilian suffering as a “social event,” contending that economic and political consequences of health and disease must be considered as factors in the history of post-war Egypt. When taking these into account as underlying factors of discontent, historians can develop a more complete answer to the question of why the peasantry–usually (if simplistically) considered an apolitical demographic–participated in the nationalist uprising in the spring of 1919.

He is exploring the broader global colonial experience of the First World War for a second project. His other research interests include the way that medicine and disease have been used to formulate ideas of social difference; the formative period of Islam from Muhammad until the rise of the Umayyads; the history and development of Fustat/Cairo; Islamic North Africa and Spain (al-Andalus); and the spread of cultural traits outward from the Middle East through trade networks (Silk Route, Mediterranean, Atlantic).

In his relatively short teaching career, he has mentored students who have received a variety of accolades and awards, including Boren and Fulbright fellowships. He is also writing a popular series of blog posts called the Grad School Survival Guide.

Dr. Rose is active as a public historian. He founded the podcast 15 Minute History and served as co-host for eight years, and serving as immediate past-president (2018 – 2020) of the Middle East Outreach Council. Chris also has significant experience in educator training, particularly working with world history and world geography educators. He has conducted numerous professional development sessions for educators, co-written several curriculum units for K-12 classrooms, and escorted numerous groups of educators to the Middle East.

He has extensive experience traveling in the Middle East, including Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Morocco, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Tunisia, Turkey, Uzbekistan and the West Bank, and has done archival work in the UK, the US, and Switzerland.  He speaks Egyptian Arabic, Modern Standard Arabic, and Spanish; and reads French and Portuguese.

When not nerding out in archives and contemplating the power implications of knowledge production, he enjoys food, wine, photography, and scratching cats behind the ears.
