THE organisers of Bridgwater Carnival will be holding a virtual event tonight (November 7) on what would have been the start of the annual event. Organisers of the town's biggest event - which sees around 100,000 people line the streets each year - have come up with a way to hold the event virtually - and answer one of carnival's most enduring questions at the same time. That one question is simply, ‘what is the best entry ever to grace the streets of Bridgwater on carnival night’? A ‘best of the best’ virtual carnival will be premiered and streamed online from Bridgwater Guy Fawkes Carnival’s official website (https://live.bridgwatercarnival.org.uk/) at 6pm on Saturday, November 7. The two-hour film will celebrate the best entries to have taken part in Bridgwater Carnival between 1982 and 2019 – the years when the carnival has officially been filmed - and those featured have been specially selected by the entries and carnivalites themselves. Then, at the end of the virtual carnival broadcast, viewers and members of the public will be able to choose and vote on their own favourite ever entry in Bridgwater Carnival by downloading a special free app produced by SGS United Kingdom - Customs Services (Shepton Mallet) called ‘CarniApp’, which is readily available from the App Store or Google Play. The voting window will close on November 30. Dave Stokes, publicity director for Bridgwater Guy Fawkes Carnival, said: “Safety is always our number one priority, and as reported before, due to the ongoing Covd-19 pandemic and associated restrictions, an illuminated carnival in the style we have been accustomed to in Bridgwater was not possible this year. “So as a committee we looked at things we could safely do in order to continue the long-standing carnival tradition in Bridgwater in a very low key…

Text size The IAC Building in New York City. Mario Tama/Getty Images IAC reported better-than-expected earnings, the result of both strong financial performance at its Vimeo and Dotdash units and a large noncash gain on its 12% stake in the casino company MGM Resorts International. For the third quarter, the internet holding company posted revenue of $788.4 million, up 12% from a year ago, and ahead of the Street consensus at $766.7 million. Net income was $184.9 million, or $2.04 a share, including a $227.7 million gain in the value of the company’s 59-million-share MGM (ticker: MGM) stake. Adjusted Ebitda, or earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, was $35.2 million, down 41% from a year ago. IAC (IAC) said revenue at ANGI Homeservices (ANGI), in which it holds a majority stake, were $389.9 million, up 9%. Revenues at Vimeo, the company’s video creation tools business, were $75.1 million, up 44%. The company also said Thursday that it raised $150 million in outside capital for Vimeo, valuing the business at $2.75 billion. IAC is considering spinning off Vimeo as a public company. Dotdash, the company’s collection of content-focused websites, had revenue of $50.8 million, up 26%. Late in the quarter, Dotdash acquired the food and recipe sites Simply Recipes and Serious Eats. Search revenue was $145.2 million, down 22%, while “emerging and other” revenue was $127.4 million, up 82%, in part reflecting the company’s acquisition of Care.com, a website that provides referrals to home care workers. In a letter to shareholders, IAC CEO Joey Levin laid out the company’s thinking about spinning off Vimeo. “For several years now, we’ve espoused our belief that every business needs video to communicate, both internally and externally,” he writes in the letter. “The lockdowns not only accelerated that necessity by a few years, but…

CONSERVATIONISTS young and old are opposing a plan for a large fish farm which they say threatens to damage "fragile" marine habitats in a protected zone off the north-west coast of Scotland. The Scottish Wildlife Trust has been joined by an youth environmental conservation organisation in saying the plans for a 12-cage salmon farm within the Wester Ross Marine Protected Area pose a "serious threat" to wildlife and the local creel fishing industry. Scottish Sea Farms has applied to the Scottish Environmental Protection Agency for a licence to site the 12-cage salmon farm near Horse Island in Loch Broom, off Ullapool. The Trust is concerned that waste material generated by the farm inthe Summer Isles archipelago would damage several fragile protected features including maerl beds, northern feather stars and kelp forests. It said the important habitats act as nurseries for a range of marine wildlife including economically important species such as scallops and lobsters. The conservation group said a number of the threatened habitats are also increasingly recognised as vital stores of blue carbon. Maerl, a type of algae similar to coral, can lock up carbon on the seabed for thousands of years. They have been joined by the youth environmental conservation organisation Ullapool Sea Savers, which said: "We cannot see the logic of declaring an area of sea protected and even restricting local fishing boats access to grounds that are then going to be turned into fish farms. "Whilst we have existing fish farms locally that do employ people and we can understand arguments for them being allowed to stay, it seems ridiculous to allow expansion or new farms to be allowed into these areas." Dr Sam Collin, the Scottish Wildlife Trust’s living seas manager added: “We support sustainable aquaculture and we want to see Scotland’s fish farming sector…

Filmmaker Kevin McCann writes for Culture about the late Irish novelist, playwright, poet and short-story writer, Dermot Healy, his collaborator on the short film Prison Door, which screens on RTÉ2 on Monday, November 9th. To celebrate the writer Dermot Healy who passed away in 2014, RTÉ will premiere the short film Prison Door on his birthday November 9th. I directed his screenplay for Prison Door and have many cherished memories of collaborating with the man once described by Roddy Doyle as "Ireland's greatest living writer". Irish artists, especially those of us from the border, hold the name of Dermot Healy up high. He was a beloved novelist, poet, short story writer and playwright. The late Séamus Heaney called him "the natural heir to Patrick Kavanagh". What struck me about Dermot was how he spoke with nature’s tongue. Silences, mutterings, long 'hmmmms' and musical tones were welcomed into the spake. In a conversation with Dermot, other parts of your spirit were speaking to other parts of his. A scene from Prison Door Dermot lived much of his life in Cavan, before moving to Sligo with his second wife Helen into a picturesque cottage right on the coast. For 26 years, they enjoyed the sound of the sea and a view of Benbulben sitting behind a limestone sea-ledge known as Serpents Rock. Irish artists, especially those of us from the border, hold the name of Dermot Healy up high. According to Helen, Dermot had a galvanised roof put on their cottage to hear the rain. Serpents Rock is a timeless place. With an old friend from Cavan, Skinny McArdle, he had fought back Atlantic waves by building cages of rocks to protect the road which ended at the cottage. Prison Door In 2012, I drove over to see Dermot to discuss working together. After…

Antifa, a far left-wing organization active in the US, that many refer to as extremist and militant, is among the topics that are not to be questioned or criticized on YouTube, but also on another, smaller video site, Vimeo. That’s judging by the fact that a new documentary, entitled, Antifa: Rise of the Black flags, published by Citizen Journalism Network, was removed from both platforms soon after it was uploaded on Saturday – even though a trailer was still available on YouTube. The reason given by Vimeo, considered by some as less prone to censorships and restrictions, but also less influential than YouTube, is that its users are not allowed to upload videos that show “extreme violence.” Double your web browsing speed with today's sponsor. Get Brave. Judging by the reports, YouTube is yet to explain the reasoning behind its decision to remove the video but the reason given on the video page is that the video was… “too long.” The documentary is around one hour long. real-time look at youtube saying “antifa: rise of the black flags” is just “too long” pic.twitter.com/Q5kP5oSuoQ — Gina A. 🤷‍♀️ (@hellogines) November 1, 2020 Mirrors of the video have so far been able to remain on the platform. It would be hard if not impossible to make a documentary about a group routinely involved in protests that tend to turn into violence and incidents without including depicting violence, but in addition to that, the film’s creator journalist and commentator Jack Posobiec says that no “extreme violence” was shown anyway, and that the reason given is merely an excuse to remove the video and hide this information from US public days ahead of the presidential election, in that way interfering with it. The documentary looks at Antifa’s rise in the wake of Donald Trump’s…
