Flying is one of the safest modes of transportation, but should we and can we make it even safer? Elmar Lutter, President & CEO at Lufthansa Technik Philippines, believes unequivocally that we should. But how, in a field mired with technical and design complexities, reliance on human judgement, impossible timing constraints, and how-to-manuals that go on for miles, do we?In Error Traps: How High-Performing Teams Learn to Avoid Mistakes in Aircraft Maintenance, Lutter challenges us to focus on our sphere of influence to avoid mishaps. In doing so, we can practice certain behaviors and attitudes that can:• Intercept chains of events that have the potential to cause damage.• Avoid predictable errors to reduce the exposure to becoming collateral damage in mishaps initiated outside of our sphere of control.Through a journey of compelling aviation experiences, Lutter offers four tools that every individual in aircraft MRO can and should employ to ensure they have done their very best to keep their team on the ground and the pilots and passengers in the air as safe as possible.Using real-world examples to connect the dots between 1. Competence: Master the basics 2. Awareness: Be in the moment, know what is coming 3. Compliance: Respect the defenses: read and follow the guidance, and 4. Teamwork: Look after one another,Lutter shares important insights and life lessons drawn from more than twenty years of collective knowledge and experience in an often unforgiving field.

ABOUT THE FILM 
Parasite is a South Korean dark comedy thriller directed by Bong Joon Ho.

As the Kims secure jobs in the Park household, the story explores themes of class disparity, deception, and survival. Through its mix of humor and social commentary, Parasite critiques the division between the rich and the poor, using sharp satire and suspense to reflect on the complexities of human ambition and societal inequalities. 
  
TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
  
“The house of the Parks, which is credited to a fictional architect named Namgoong Hyeonja in the film, was actually a fully constructed set.” 
  
“Ki-woo's role as a tutor was chosen by director Bong Joon Ho to demonstrate the only plausible way that individuals from two vastly different social classes could meet and interact in the context of the story.” 
  
“Bong Joon Ho created numerous sketches for the design of the wealthy family’s house. When the production designer shared the designs with an actual architect, the architect remarked that no one would build a house in such a ridiculous manner.” 
  
“Parasite won the Palme d'Or at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival, making history as the first Korean film to earn the prestigious award.”

ROCKY
THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION
FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY JOHN G. AVILDSEN
CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE
ABOUT THE FILM
Rocky (1976) is a powerful sports drama directed by John G. Avildsen, written by and starring Sylvester Stallone. The film follows Rocky Balboa, an uneducated but determined Italian-American boxer living in Philadelphia. Working as a debt collector for a loan shark, Rocky gets a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to fight Apollo Creed, the heavyweight champion, after Creed's opponent drops out. With the help of his trainer Mickey and support from his love interest Adrian, Rocky trains for the biggest fight of his life. The movie explores themes of perseverance, self-worth, and the pursuit of the American Dream against all odds.
TRIVIA SAMPLES:
“According to Burt Young, during filming of the scene where Paulie walks home drunk, an actual drunk wandered onto the location and told Young he wasn't acting drunk convincingly, so Young asked the man to demonstrate it. Young then copied the man's actions for the scene.”
“The ice rink scene was originally written to feature 300 extras, but the production couldn't afford so many people. When Sylvester Stallone turned up to shoot the scene, to his horror, there was only one extra. So, Stallone hastily threw together the scene as it exists in the completed film. This scene has become one of the most popular in the entire Rocky saga.”
“Sylvester Stallone and Carl Weathers suffered injuries during the shooting of the final fight: Stallone suffered bruised ribs, and Weathers suffered a damaged nose, the opposite injuries of what their characters had.”

To the River - A Journey Beneath...

Olivia Laing

An author’s walk “from source to sea along the Ouse in Sussex is a meandering, meditative delight” drawing on history, literature, and the river itself (The Guardian, UK). In To The River, author Olivia Laing embarks on a weeklong, midsummer odyssey along the banks of the River Ouse in Sussex, England, from its source near Haywards Heath to the sea, where it empties into the Channel at Newhaven. More than sixty years after Virginia Woolf drowned herself in the River Ouse, Laing still finds inspiration and guidance in the author’s abiding presence. Through cow pastures, woods, and neighborhood streets, Laing’s meandering walk occasions a profound and haunting reflection on histories both personal and cultural, and on landscapes both physical and emotional. Along the way, she explores the roles that rivers play in human lives, tracing their intricate flow through literature, mythology and folklore. Lyrical and stirring, To the River is a passionate investigation into how history resides in a landscape - and how ghosts never quite leave the places they love.“Magical…By turns lyrical, melancholic and exultant, To the River just makes you want to follow Olivia Laing all the way to the sea.”—Daily Telegraph, UK

Secrets Beneath the Quicksand -...

John Harpoon

Quicksand has captivated human imagination for centuries. The very mention of the word conjures images of perilous, sinking terrain—an unpredictable force of nature that can drag the unsuspecting into its depths. Whether through its portrayal in popular culture or through whispered warnings of its presence in remote areas, quicksand has become synonymous with danger. However, while it holds a certain allure in our collective consciousness, the science behind it remains less understood, adding to its mystique and intrigue.
Historically, quicksand has been a feature of many adventure tales and thrillers, often depicted as a life-threatening trap that can ensnare anyone who ventures too close. In movies, books, and TV shows, it serves as an almost mythical obstacle, a place where time seems to stand still as one struggles to escape. These portrayals, however, often exaggerate the severity of quicksand’s danger, leading to misconceptions about its true nature. It’s important to acknowledge that while quicksand is indeed dangerous, it is rarely as deadly as it is made out to be in stories. Yet, the fascination it generates is undeniable, and its mysterious qualities continue to inspire both fear and curiosity.
The allure of quicksand is not just in its danger, but also in the mystery surrounding its behavior. Unlike ordinary land, quicksand behaves in a way that seems to defy common understanding. Its unique blend of sand, water, and clay creates a substance that can feel deceptively solid, only to give way under pressure. This paradox—the appearance of solid ground hiding a treacherous, fluid-like trap—adds to its power to intrigue and intimidate.
