AP Sports SummaryBrief at 5:12 p.m. ESTSpoiler alert! This story discusses the new Bob Dylan biopic “A Complete Unknown” (in theaters now). If you haven’t seen it, read no further. What’s fact and what’s fiction in “A Complete Unknown,” the story of Bob Dylan’s first four years of stardom? The subject himself has proven so slippery with his biography — as a new star, he told reporters he was from New Mexico, not Minnesota, and fibbed about being in a traveling circus — that a small army of Dylan chroniclers have had their hands full trying to lock down the truth. But director James Mangold was not making a documentary, and as such felt free to play with events and dates in the early 1960s to keep his movie moving along. “You make a biopic and there’s an assumption you’re doing a history lesson with text on the screen labeling things, but I had no interest in that,” Mangold says. “I wanted to tell the story with the same authority as a fiction film, where the dates don’t matter so much. I kept saying, ‘We’re not doing the Disney Hall of Presidents , where the animatronic president does a famous speech.” An online search about the facts in “A Complete Unknown” will turn up countless lists of date tweaks, character conflations and outright speculation that Mangold employed in his storytelling. We checked in with the director as well as one of the movie’s stars, Edward Norton (who plays Pete Seeger), to clarify a few particularly salient scenes. Was Pete Seeger in the room when Bob Dylan went to visit his hero Woody Guthrie at a New Jersey hospital? Various accounts of Dylan’s early days in New York suggest that he first met Pete Seeger when the veteran folkie caught the newcomer’s act in Greenwich Village. A mesmerized Seeger quickly kept track of the ingenue. In “A Complete Unknown,” it’s implied that this first encounter happened when Dylan (Timothée Chalamet) went to visit a sickly Guthrie (Scoot McNairy) at Greystone, a psychiatric facility in New Jersey. Norton feels confident that the two men were both present, perhaps on numerous occasions, at Guthrie’s bedside, since Seeger was a close friend of the “This Land Is Your Land” composer and Dylan visited often. The movie “compressed some things, but Pete was Woody’s longest road buddy, so if Pete and Bob didn’t meet there first, they certainly were there together,” says Norton. As for whether Dylan actually sang his composition “Song to Woody” to Guthrie, Norton says “it was his first composition, so I don’t think there’s any doubt he would have played it for him .” Is Sylvie Russo, Bob Dylan’s first New York girlfriend in the movie, a real person? Bob Dylan’s first serious New York love was Suze Rotolo, a politically active young woman who greatly influenced the musician. Rotolo famously is the woman walking arm in arm with Dylan down a frozen Greenwich Village street on the cover of his second album, 1963’s “The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan.” In Dylan’s autobiography, “Chronicles: Volume One,” the singer recalled their first meeting: “Right from the start, I couldn’t take my eyes off her. She was the most erotic thing I’d ever seen. She was fair-skinned and goldenhaired, full-blood Italian.” In “A Complete Unknown,” Rotolo’s character has been renamed Sylvie Russo (Elle Fanning). The request was made by Dylan himself. “He just asked me if it could be changed,” says Mangold. “He still has fondness for her. She’s passed on, but was an early love in his life before he was Bob Dylan.” Did fans at the Newport Folk Festival in 1965 really yell ‘Judas!’ at Bob Dylan for playing an electric set? Dylan pivoted away from folk music as the mid-'60s approached, eager to be in a band and take part in the electric music revolution. This decision angered fans who felt he was a traitor to their cause. Some took to yelling “Judas!” during concerts. In “A Complete Unknown,” those shouts take place during his raucous 1965 Newport Folk Festival show, known as the moment “Dylan went electric.” But as D.A Pennebaker’s 1967 documentary “Don’t Look Back” depicts, those cries are more associated with British fans during a 1965 tour of England. “He auditioned his electric stuff first overseas, which prompted the ‘Judas’ stuff,” says Mangold. “But I moved it to Newport because I couldn’t subject the audience to it twice. And the point of the scene is, he’s coming out as a rocker in the backyard of the people who made him a folk superstar.” Did Pete Seeger try to cut the cables as Bob Dylan performed his electric set at the Newport Folk Festival? There’s no question that Seeger, a longtime champion of Dylan’s folkie talent, was disappointed when the star defied Newport Folk Festival programmers by playing a loud if short set with electric instruments. But did he look for an ax to cut the sound cables? “There was a lot of urban myth that grew up around that moment,” says Norton. “I spoke with Peter Yarrow (of Peter, Paul & Mary), who was there, and Pete’s oldest daughter, who was 17 and standing there. He didn’t grab an ax and try and cut the cord, and there were people who thought he said, ‘If I had an ax, I’d cut the cable.’ His daughter said she’d never seen him that angry in his life, and her mother Toshi did step in, as the movie shows. So we are close to reality there.” Read more at usatoday.com.
Inside Alex Salmond’s memorial service as guests reflect on a man who ‘transformed Scotland’31 Products That Were Clearly Invented By People With Very Big BrainsWEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump on Saturday threatened 100% tariffs against a bloc of nine nations if they act to undermine the U.S. dollar. His threat was directed at countries in the so-called BRIC alliance, which consists of Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran and the United Arab Emirates. Turkey, Azerbaijan and Malaysia have applied to become members and several other countries have expressed interest in joining. While the U.S. dollar is by far the most-used currency in global business and has survived past challenges to its preeminence, members of the alliance and other developing nations say they are fed up with America’s dominance of the global financial system . Trump, in a Truth Social post, said: “We require a commitment from these Countries that they will neither create a new BRICS Currency, nor back any other Currency to replace the mighty U.S. Dollar or, they will face 100% Tariffs, and should expect to say goodbye to selling into the wonderful U.S. Economy." At a summit of BRIC nations in October, Russian President Vladimir Putin accused the U.S. of “weaponizing” the dollar and described it as a “big mistake.” “It’s not us who refuse to use the dollar,” Putin said at the time. “But if they don’t let us work, what can we do? We are forced to search for alternatives.” Russia has specifically pushed for the creation of a new payment system that would offer an alternative to the global bank messaging network, SWIFT, and allow Moscow to dodge Western sanctions and trade with partners. Trump said there is "no chance" BRIC will replace the U.S. dollar in global trade and any country that tries to make that happen "should wave goodbye to America.”

Into the earthIsraeli Attorney General Orders Probe Into Netanyahu's WifeCharles Mandel was short and short-tempered. He was quick to file, faster still with a joke or pun, and always looking for an opportunity to lighten the mood. Charles was cordial to communications professionals and direct with his interview subjects. A senior writer at BetaKit for almost three years, Charles never missed a deadline, even if that meant driving his editors crazy or his story off the beaten path. Charles passed away one year ago today at the age of 64 after a difficult battle with cancer. To honour his memory, BetaKit would like to share stories of his work and life. An avid outdoorsman, mountain biker, and marathon runner, Charles lived off the grid in Nova Scotia. He documented his frontier lifestyle on his Substack, . Spotty internet aside, the remote locale did not often impact his work, but did provide colleagues with regular guest appearances on team calls from the various dogs, horses, donkeys, and other assorted animals that found a home on his acreages. Born to a family of poets, Charles’ career in journalism spanned five decades and crisscrossed the country, from Edmonton to Vancouver to Toronto and many parts of the Maritimes. Over this period, Charles pursued an astonishing variety of roles and news beats: visual arts columnist, news and features editor, literary correspondent, national news correspondent, music journalist, climate reporter, and business tech reporter. His bylines graced over 60 publications, far too many to list in full. To highlight a few: Wired, Canadian Business, the National Post, The Globe and Mail, Maclean’s, Canadian Geographic, Quill & Quire, The Toronto Star, and several community papers and alt-weeklies. Charles was also the recipient of multiple awards and honours, including a National Magazine Award, a Kenneth R. Wilson Memorial Award, and two (Prince Edward) Island Literary Awards. His work was instrumental in helping BetaKit win a award for General Excellence, which we dedicated to his memory. Charles joined BetaKit in August 2021 as deputy editor before settling comfortably into the position of senior writer. In over 500 files for the publication, his work ran the gamut from hard news (including quarterly earnings reports, which he hated), policy-driven features (which he doggedly pursued) and fun profiles of interesting characters (which he loved more than anything). Charles was passionate about enterprise reporting, holding those in power to account, and shepherding a new generation of journalists. Mentor to a newsroom filled with young reporters, he was quick to offer public praise and thoughtful in his private critiques. The team marvelled at his encyclopedic knowledge of Canadian history (including CanRock, the only true music) and ability to pull at story threads to reveal connections or details others overlooked. A terrible singer by all accounts, Charles nonetheless led the team in offkey renditions of Happy Birthday at every possible opportunity—and rarely, actual birthdays. Marking milestones through song has now become a BetaKit tradition. In the words of his colleagues, Charles was filled with passion, fire, and talent. He was no-nonsense and prone to laughter. Crotchety and punctual. The pun master. A reminder that the shared love of good stories and great people is enough to make genuine connections. A hard-working, stubborn badass. We all wish there was more time to know him better, but cherished the time we had. Charles worked at BetaKit well into the depths of his illness, and did so without complaint or impact on the quality of his work. He wouldn’t listen to anyone who told him he should stop. Over his long career, Charles had seen too many Canadian publications shutter, too many peers packaged out of the industry to easily give up his life’s calling. Committed to the craft of journalism, he fought and reported and wrote to the very end. You can come to know a writer through their words, so I will give the final word to Charles with an excerpt from one of his . Written shortly before his passing, I can think of no better example of his character.AI For Risk Management Market Detailed In New Research Report 2024 11-27-2024 10:14 PM CET | IT, New Media & Software Press release from: SkyQuest Technology AI For Risk Management Market Scope: AI For Risk Management Market size was valued at USD 8.9 billion in 2019 and is poised to grow from USD 11.36 billion in 2023 to USD 68.5 billion by 2031, at a CAGR of 11.3% during the forecast period (2024-2031) The study of the global AI For Risk Management Market is presented in the report, which is a thoroughly researched presentation of the data.
