I don't know about anyone else, about half way through watching a film, I'll say to myself, "Everything is going to come down to the ending." Great ending, great film. Bad ending, bad (or mediocre) film. I've had experiences where good films become great because of the ending. For example, Once was a film like that. I enjoyed everything before the ending of the film, and I could see the filmmaker's difficulty with ending the film (the two get together=sappy and unbelievable; the two break up=too sad and disastifying; etc.). I sort of felt this way about Reign of Fire, except with the opposite results. I liked the film up until the end, but I found the resolution to be flat and bland.
I'd like to hear examples of films where the ending either made or broke a film. Have there been times when a film was largely terrrible or not very good, until the ending? That's pretty rare in my experience. It did happen recently with the film, The Exploding Girl. The last minute (literally) raised the film from a 55/100 to a 71/100. I also recall feeling something similar to And Justice for All…. I told myself that I'd turn the film off it didn't start getting better in the next several minutes (although I was about an hour into the film, I think). It got better and I ended up enjoying the film.
What about endings that ruined an otherwise good film? There must be ton of those.
i was at the Sundance USA screening of 'my idiot brother,' where the director was doing a q&a after the screening.
someone in the audience asked if there had been a reshoot on the ending, and the director just kind of sheepishly smiled and went "hah, was it that obvious?"
it was. :(
I really depends how much the film's appeal relies on the plot. I've heard a lot of complaints about the endings of Battlestar Galactica and Lost, for instance, two series which heavily relied on the plot.
If Usual Suspects didn't have such a great ending, I'd have a substantially lower opinion of it. If The Chaser didn't have such a stupidly contrived ending, I'd have a substantially higher opinion of it. But, I don't think any ending would have made me think less of Dogtooth or The Mirror.
Hmm, I don't know if I can think of any film that would be impervious to a bad ending. (I'll try to think of one.)
The ending of a film is incredibly important IMO, but that isn't to say that a film that only has a great ending is itself great by association.
Of course, what represents a 'great ending' is subjective. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of 'existential endings' or films that (not to be confused with 'ambiguous endings'; i.e. the ending of Blade Runner [Director's Cut] which implies a continuation of the story beyond the audience's conscience, and cryptic indications of doubt as to the future or past) "end" without a suggestion of possibilities. It's like they attempt to reflect reality in that way, but you can't, you have to begin the film somewhere and end it somewhere, there's no way to follow the entire lives of every character (unless we start making 60+ hour films, heh), so a film that defiantly refuses to present it within a context or theme is pointless .. but I'm rambling at this point. 'Ambiguous films' are specific to the protagonist and presents certain possibilities, not simply "all possibilities."
Or the ending of Brazil (Director's Cut)? Another ambiguous ending: what is to become of the protagonist? His future is uncertain and the film ends with that uncertainty, unresolved, like a 7th chord. Stalker would be another example of this.
Most films are more definite and conventional in their endings, a resolution of the theme/plot is given, the story ends. Every film must end somewhere, so this separates it from reality. The context of everything that happens before the ending is also monumentally important as to its effectiveness.
An ending can be incredibly powerful and meaningful (full of meaning, intent, message, not just philosophical intimation), but if what happened before it is rubbish and uneven, then its weakened.
There's so many great endings out there though, like the classic "tragic ending." Peckinpah's films often ended in extravagant tragedy (read: high character death ratio) and this heightens the importance of what came before it. Though such an ending could be less effective if one isn't connected to the characters in some significant way. Or more recently, Black Swan which ends tragically – if it wasn't so flawed I'd call it Shakespearean, ha.
A film like Winter's Bone (I've been catching up on 2010 films, so I apologize for using a string of them) ends definitively, and I'd call a 'conventional narrative ending.' There is the lingering mystery of "whodunit," but the immediate plot is resolved, conflict extinguished.
Or the vintage "climactic ending," such as in Big Trouble in Little China (gotta mention this film every thread, heh) which ends at the height of tension. Sword of Doom is better example of this. It ends in the middle of a ferocious battle, such a peak of high emotion.
Not to imply the aforementioned films are great, but they're easy examples to analyze various endings.
I wanted to mention another film, Kiarostami's Close-Up. I found film a little slow and hard to get into. I perked up during the courtroom scene, but the the last scene (a minute or two) just knocked me out.
A few quick questions:
What are some examples of films with "existential endings" or "ending without a suggestion of possibilities?"
Also, can you think of any films with a great ending, while everything else was either mediocre or terrible?
okay this was a whole post about repo man having an awesome ending but once again the board code boned me for trying to put things in quotes, i give up
this post: an ending without a possibility
"A talking Picture" has an amazing ending that makes you go back and think about the film that one might just think is average but then you realize thinks that you really were not paying attention to.
I don't think putting quotes up are the problem. I think cutting and pasting from a previous another post is what screws up the post you're typing.
nah, this one wasn't cut and paste — it was me typing a couple lines of dialogue (from memory) and putting them in quotes. so the post just came up as the text of the first line, everything before and after obliterated.
Weird. My posts only get cut when I cut-and-paste from other posts.
The End Of The Departed made the film good for sure.. Up until that point it was just a guessing game and then boom it all comes together to make the film. Had it had a sucky ending the film would have been bad.
Dang, I don't remember the ending of The Departed, but the film had an intricate plot, as I recall, so my not remembering doesn't surprise me.
Here's a film where the ending, for me, really hurt the film: Taxi Driver. I think it's still a very good film, but I hesitate to put it in the great category because of the ending. (spoilers)
In my view the film ends, or should end, with the shot of the street filled with police and people (with Bickle ostensibly dying). What happens after that just seems wrong (at least based on my reading of everything that happened before that). The film seems to shift towards the examination of celebrity and the distortions of the media. The scene with Bickle and the Cybil Sheppard character just seems wrong, too. Imo, the scene feels like a Hollywood move to appease the audience and it also feels like the fantasy of every one who has been an outcast and "loser" in high school. The more I think about it, the more I feel like the ending almost ruined the entire movie.
I doubt the ending appeases the audience. It is actually far more frightening that Shepard sees Bickle as someone to approach again just due to his hero status.
The best endings are not one of many (a film with more than one ending point is rarely good). The best films just stop (the station agent for instance)
"Tombstone" had an awesome set up (seriously that scene where the cowboys ride in and gun everyone down at the wedding is a killer way to set up tone and setting) and a decent enough second act however its third act was just sloppy and its ending just didn't live up to its opening as everything just wrapped up way too quickly.
And i'm in full agreement with Taxi driver's epilogue as jodi foster's awful reading of an awful letter sucked out all of the viciousness of the previous scene, and then on top of that we get a short scene where the director seems to want us to think that deniro may be able to come out of it and go back to normal. Hogwash and a terrible way to end the movie.
American Werewolf in London has a last section that elevates the film by at least a star.
It starts off as a bad Scooby Doo episode with two bland leads (by the time the doctor is investigating I was losing interesting completely) but then the effects kicked in, Jenny Agutter gave a winning performance and the film gained some heft with its troubled star comtemplating suicide. And although I am against werewolves killing themselves (they cannot help the destruction they cause). I found the concept very interesting and skillfully handled by that point
Re: the ending of Taxi Driver
Well, I think in the dvd commentary, Scorsese (or someone) says that Bickle is a ticking time bomb at the end, so it's ostensibly a darker ending. And, yes, the fact that Shepard's character is drawn to Bickle because of his "heroism" is disturbing, but it doesn't fit well with the film before it. Prior to that scene, the film seems to be more about Bickle as a person alienated and disillusioned by America—specifically the American Dream as well as the a deep disillusionment with American politics.
The commentary on celebrity just seems tacked on.
I'm not sure the audience would be as disturbed as you. I suspect some might accept Travis as a "hero" prima facie. It's not far-fetched to read the ending as a fantasy for those that were spurned by the cheerleader in high school.
Roger Ebert has raised doubts that we are seeing at the ending of Taxi Driver are really happening at all. He raises the possibility that what we are seeing at the end are Travis' dying thoughts.
I'd much prefer that reading, and there is some support for that. The way Scorsese shoots the cab ride (plus the saxophone score) makes the ending feel almost like a dream. But I still feel it takes away from the impact of the film. I must say that ending the film at the street scene after the shootout would have been pretty remarkable, in terms of the studio allowing this. I respect Scorsese as a director, but in my mind that is the right place to end the film.
I liked the ending of Taxi Driver. I think it made a statement about the culture of violence. Bickle assumes up to that point that going on a murderous rampage will result in going to jail as a murderous psychopath. Instead, because he targeted people who are hated, he's romanticized as a hero. I think this makes a subtle point about the thinness of the line between a person seen as a hero and a person seen as a psychopath.
I suppose no film is 'impervious' to a bad ending. But, the amount of it's impact depends on the focus of a movie. If the focus of the movie is the events of the plot, a good or bad ending could raise or lower the score by 2 or 3 points, particularly in the sort of movie that builds up expectation for a payoff and then does not deliver. If the focus of the movie is more on the visuals, the cinematography, and the philosophical themes, a good or bad ending might raise or lower the score by only 1 point or half a point.
The statement about the culture of violence is fine, but it seems tacked on—as in the rest of the film doesn't really seem to be about that.
I don't know if I agree with your analysis of the impact of bad endings. Can you think of some examples?
Whoa, whoa, wait a minute …
The ending of Taxi Driver is pitch perfect. Why? Because it isn't even happening (Ebert got it right for once, heh). How could Bickle become a hero after such an onslaught? Why would they allow him to be a taxi driver again considering he enters strange tenements and goes on a shooting spree? There's a sudden lapse of logic at the ending and there's only one reason for it: this is Bickle's ending (what actually happened in the aftermath is uncertain).
Before the shootout, we only have Bickle's voiceover to inform us his state of mind, which is decidedly askew. However, we get to see the real world and how people view him (with confusion, contempt, distrust, uncertainty) – only criminals and the unhinged confide in him (Scorsese's cameo character who's about to shoot his wife, the Keitel's pimp).
After the shootout, we no longer hear Bickle's voiceover we are seeing his state of mind. Shepard's character suddenly regards him sympathetically and with trust (she never did the latter before) and they are reconciled. Why the reversed bell tone when Bickle straightens the mirror? Something is amiss and Scorsese is too subtle (in this point in his career) to bash us over the head with it.
And Jazz, if you end the film where you suggest, then it becomes "modernized" but utterly predictable. That's a cliched ending IMO, tragedy simply for tragedy's sake.
Oh and Jazz: Existential ending = Rabbit Hole, also, how 'bout Before Sunset.
Existential ending – Certified Copy
Loved the ending of Rabbit Hole – and so we exist, and here we are, existing ….
Like I said, if the last scenes (the reading of the letter from the parent; Bickle meeting Shepard's character) didn't really occur, that's the best reading I can think of, but how does this really enhance the film (versus ending after the shootout)?
I'm also not sure what you mean by "'modernized, but utterly predictable." You mean, the ending is a dark tragedy with no larger purpose except to be dark and tragic? The response I want to say is: what's wrong with that? You have to go back to what the film is about. Imo, the film is about Bickle—about the sense of alienation and disenchantment with the American Dream and American government/politics. And these feelings push him further into insanity. He reminds me of a 70's incarnation of Holden Caulfield and Willie Loman. The fact that he plunges into madness and the film climaxes in a shooting spree just seems to fit the 70s. The dark ending seems to capture the times better. Again, what does delusional ending accomplish?
Re: existential ending
=open ended?
But Jazz, to go with that ending would be like ending Psycho at the death of Janet Leigh. Sure, intense and harrowing, but so what? IMO, that alone doesn't make a film great (or even good). An aftermath is a wonderful, reflective thing and adds an extra layer to the film that would normally be absent (well a good aftermath would do that).
With Taxi Driver, it's not the delusional aspect of it that's interesting (we already know Bickle's delusional before that point anyway), it makes it an even darker tragedy that he is forever lost in his delusions. The audience is completed removed from reality at this point (like Bickle) – this is a complete 180 degree turn here. The film is going into new territory (in respect to the film, not in cinematic history of course) and it ends ambiguously. More questions are raised from this and it invites the audience (if they even get the delusional aspect of it to begin with…) to ponder and discuss.
It's like the endings of Blade Runner. Is it more interesting to simply end a film conventionally (by the way, going back to Taxi Driver, a tragic death is a conventional ending…Shakespeare did it ages ago and it was even done before that) or to suggest other possibilities? To reveal or hint at the revelation of some aspect of the protagonist(s)?
Is it more tragic to die in a hail of gunfire or to be caught in a never-ending series of artificial, self-induced paranoia/delusion? If the film ends with Bickle's death then there's nothing left to the story, nothing to ponder, it's simply over.
Taxi Driver isn't my favourite Scorsese film, but if anything he ended it right.
@existential ending: Open-ended, yes – I thought we already discussed this? heh
An aftermath is a wonderful, reflective thing and adds an extra layer to the film that would normally be absent (well a good aftermath would do that).
Dang, mubi cut my post! I'll be back, as Arnold would say.
But I don't if the aftermath is so good in this case. For one thing, it allows the possibility that those events actually happened. (I recall reading one or two people involved in the film reading it this way.)—which would weaken the film, imo. Also, I don't know if Bickle being trapped in his delusions are so much more tragic than him dying during the shootout. For one thing, while viewers may relate to Bickle, I wouldn't say that he is a likable character—i.e. we don't want to see bad things happen to him. (I don't know if you've read Ethan Frome, but if you did, he's not like Frome.) If we did care about him (the way one would with Frome), the epilogue would work better.
Moreover, I think the film works better the less it emphasizes Bickle's insanity because this allows us to identify more with the character. I think Bickle is really interesting because he taps into many of the feelings that Americans felt at the time (and still feel)—the frustration and disillusionment with obtaining the American Dream—which includes "getting the girl" and the deterioration with the larger society (increasing crime, moral erosion, etc.) Tied to this idea is the disillusionment with government and politics—not only the corruption, but the government's inability to deal with the social decay. When Bickle attempts to do something about this, I think that, too, taps into a deep feeling held by many Americans (in the same way that Howard Beale's "I'm mad as Hell" speech did, too). This is all foreplay. The climax is the shootout. It is the Everyman going haywire and that just seems to fit with the times and the entire mood of the film up to that point. The aftermath is a different mood and vibe that doesn't fit as well with the rest of the film—again, imo. (Dang, I might just have to watch this again.)
The ending of Million Dollar Baby turned it from a feminist story about an avant-garde girl boxing, into a harsh slap of reality.
@Jazz: But why does the audience have to identify with Bickle? As you say, Bickle isn't really a likable character and I don't think it was Schrader's (or Scorsese's) intention to try and make the audience relate to him. Personally, I don't see a need to make a character sympathetic or relatable.
@Fish: She was an "avant-garde girl"?

EasyCarbo is a very powerful and effective source for aquarium plants. A strong growth improvement is noticeable after 1 to 2 weeks. Usable with or without CO2 addition. Algae will have great difficulties to sustain themselves, due to a better plant growth. Very good to combine with the universal fertilizer ProFito.
The better growing plants (even Cryptocorynes or Echinodorus sp.) can compete better with algae. E.g. brush algae will disappear within several weeks.

Shostakovich: the Complete String Quartets
Features:Price: $30
Dmitri Shostakovich's body of work isn't just one of the most treasured oeuvres in classical music—it also tells a secret story of the Russian composer's hot-and-cold relationship with the Soviet regime. Shostakovich worked under the watchful eye of Stalin's Communist Party, which demanded work furthering the socialist revolution, although he sometimes failed to meet that demand, risking blacklisting, imprisonment, or worse. After the composer was denounced for his allegedly counterrevolutionary opera Lady Macbeth of the Mtsensk District in 1934, his symphonies became markedly more orthodox.Chamber music, however, being less prominent, permitted him freer rein to explore darker, more experimental concepts. Work such as his 15 string quartets—which Israeli ensemble Jerusalem Quartet, presented by Friends of Chamber Music, will perform over four evenings this month—offers a glimpse of what the composer might have sounded like in a less repressive place and time.

In The Ruins of Noe, the sequel to her debut novel Brigitta of the White Forest, Danika Dinsmore outdoes herself in the crafting of this new book. All of the elements that made Brigitta wonderful continue on in this book. It is still just as magical and engaging as the first book, exploring the trials and struggles of the now adolescent protagonist. But the book also distinguishes itself from its predecessor with a darker tone and more mature themes that keep pace with Brigitta's growth into adulthood.
The fairies of the White Forest rely on the intervention of the Ethereals, the invisible Ancients who help keep the elements in balance in the sheltered realm of the forest. But when the spirit of a dead Elder does not move on and a child is born without a destiny, the Elders who rule the forest realize that something has gone wrong. The Ethereals no longer intervene in their lives, and may not be able to protect the Forest.
High Priestess Ondelle decides to return to the ruined city of Noe, which was the home of the fairies until an apocalyptic event forced them to flee and take shelter in the White Forest. With her she takes Brigitta, who some believe to be the prophesied fairy who will help make things right. In Noe, many illusions the fairies had about the past are shattered. Fairies had been left behind in the flight to the White Forest and their survivors had built up two feuding kingdoms ruled by cruel tyrants. Brigitta is soon alone and friendless in a strange world that would rather have her dead, forced to find a way to solve her problems alone.
As mentioned before, this turned out to be a darker tale than the first book in the series. In Brigitta of the White Forest, there were tense moments but Brigitta was able to solve problems in the end, so that life was returned to mostly normal in the White Forest. In The Ruins of Noe, awful things happen to some characters and are not fixed. By the end of the book many problems remain unfixed. While some of this is to leave room for future sequels, the tone of the book at the end is that there may not be solutions. And while the first book was about learning self-reliance and taking a step towards adulthood, the second book was about having to take on tasks before you're ready and growing up fast.
In that manner this book also approaches an older audience than its predecessor. Brigitta of the White Forest had a very strong Middle Reader energy, where the story depended on making friends and solving problems. The Ruins of Noe begins to push outside of that towards "young adult" or "teen fiction." The story has less obvious solutions, hints at a world more complex than previously realized, and begins hinting at a romantic storyline that will see more attention in later books.
I loved this book, despite the anxiety it induced as I worried about the fate of the characters. For young readers who have grown older since Dinsmore's first book came out, this could be an excellent stepping stone as their tastes and maturity grow.

The study was conducted at the Ohio State University Medical Center. The study enrolled fifty-one patients and the results indicate, compared to patients receiving ketorolac, patients receiving intravenous ibuprofen experienced less postoperative pain prior to discharge. Patients receiving Caldolor also needed fewer narcotics and were less likely to require narcotics prior to discharge. This data supports the benefits of using Caldolor in a pre-emptive model of multimodal analgesia.
International Agreements
In January 2013, Cumberland entered into agreements with India's Sandor Medicaids Pvt. Ltd. and Indonesia's PT. SOHO Industri Pharmasi (a SOHO Group company) for the commercialization of Caldolor in those countries. Cumberland also entered into an agreement with GerminMED W.L.L. for the commercialization of Acetadote, Caldolor and Kristalose in the Arabian Peninsula.

All and all, not a surprise at all. Carmack basically just confirmed what I said months ago. http://www.phoronix.com/forums/showthread.php?t=16332

John Carmack on Linux ports

It makes perfect sense or have you forgotten how the Doom 3 release went?
The game ran fine on nVidia hardware but crashed to desktop on ATi in Windows and Linux. ATi, now AMD, has never been good on the bleeding edge rendering technology that Carmack likes to program.
As for crashing, etc. I can't say that I ever noticed that with my dual screen setup I had during that era when I worked for Nexa Technologies (stock trading software company...)- my setup before it cooked itself (poor heatsink on the Dell OEM ATI adapter in it...) ran WELL with Doom3 under Linux, albeit strung across BOTH my screens. I ended up getting an NVidia part because it was actually cheaper than the comparable ATI part because of a sale that week.
Having said this, the drivers really aren't where they need to be. They haven't been there for a while (When I can't switch users without being black-screened with an R600 part, but before the drop of R300-R500 support, the R420 I had COULD do it right... Something that is still with the current fglrx drivers... It's not "there"- what else did they miss/break?) and they need to do SOMETHING to get them back on track. I'm not wholly sure what they need to do, but...
Perhaps Larrabee will be as good as the reports are. It's alleged that Intel will FOSS the stuff they're making for the Linux side on it- if so, it'll be a second answer and maybe present a more appealing situation for iD. As it stands now, I can't fault them for saying they're not going out of their way for us, but it's not a "no" on Rage at this point.

Moreover, I think this is a combination of our 3D story not being there right at the moment, coupled with their recent merger. If there's no money to be had (hey, you can get the rubes to buy the Windows version and run it in WINE, so why do the extra 10% for that platform, especially when the adapters aren't there...) in the parent's estimation (whether it's wrong or not matters little- they're the ones in control...) then why go to that extra effort?

Granted ATI had some crash-worthy parts in their drivers but so does nVidia. If it crashes it is first a problem in the game not doing their pointer arithmetic correct not the graphic card doing something wrong.
btw - if you want a definitive answer as to whether a game will be ported, ask TTimo, not Carmack. Quake 4 was a raven game and we got the native client in the same week.

Before this, there wasn't any real reason to think that you'd be right, deanjo- they'd not made any statements along the lines of what John just said there. YOU didn't have anything other than a gut level feel to go on- something you've not been 100% good on any more than I.
Originally posted by Svartalf View PostThat's less due to the silicon (which is as good or better than NVidia's...) and more due to the drivers. Their codebase has been historically unstable and finicky. AMD's GLSL/HLSL compiler has always been quite a bit more picky on what was fed to it, for example. When it was done "right" (which is typically a slavish insistence on explicit compliance with the OpenGL and DirectX standards documents...) it works WELL and no issues. Otherwise...heh...
There shouldn't be any divorce between the hardware and drivers in this situation, because without a good driver the hardware may as well be a piece of corrugated cardboard glued in the pci slot, which is to say a useless waste of space.
I highly doubt you are pushing rendering technology the way Carmack does, but whatever helps you sleep at night.
Methinks the visionary is losing vision.

Investors increasingly seek liquid and simple access to specific hedge fund strategies. Nicolas Aractingi and Csaba Koppany – Equity and Funds Structured Markets at Barclays Capital – outline how the Barclays Capital Manager Access Indices help cater to this demand
Alternative investments constitute a mainstay of diversified investment portfolios for investors, ranging from high-net-worth individuals to large institutions. Despite occasional fluctuations, over a longer period of time hedge fund assets have witnessed exponential growth, reaching $2 trillion by June 2011.
However, investing in hedge funds has proven to be precarious for some investors. During the past few years, highly publicised events ranging from net-asset-value suspensions to gating or fraud by investment managers have highlighted some of the inherent risks of hedge fund investing, which had previously been ignored or, at the very least, discounted. Today, more than ever, investors place higher importance on the liquidity, transparency and mitigation of counterparty risk in their hedge fund holdings. This shift of priorities has resulted in even more thorough due diligence being carried out on investment managers and more stringent governance requirements for investment companies in general. The due-diligence process is thus lengthier than in the past. It can be further extended by the repetition of the due-diligence process for each new fund invested in the portfolio over time. The long redemption cycles of traditional hedge funds can cause further delays, making the process of portfolio (re)allocation operationally burdensome.
Barclays Capital has developed the Barclays Capital Manager Access Indices as a new family of investable indices that aim to address some of these issues and simplify the way investors can gain exposure to liquid hedge fund returns:
The Manager Access Indices provide improved liquidity and transparency because they are composed of managed accounts rather than traditional hedge funds. Managed accounts, established either as unit trusts or segregated portfolios within a segregated portfolio company, tend to provide enhanced liquidity, increased transparency and improved risk mitigation (also due to segregated responsibilities) compared with traditional flagship hedge funds, even though their assets are managed in line with the flagship fund.
The Barclays Capital Manager Access Indices are designed to reference managed accounts from various leading platforms, including Amundi Alternative Investments, HFR Asset Management and Lyxor Asset Management. The multi-platform nature of the Manager Access Indices allows for a broader representation of the universe of liquid hedge funds than indices based on any single managed account platform. The Manager Access Indices allocate to funds without any structural bias to a specific managed account platform.
The Barclays Capital Manager Access Indices are rebalanced on a quarterly basis according to an objective, rule-based methodology. The portfolio construction methodology was designed by the Quantitative Portfolio Strategy group, which is part of the Barclays Capital research department. It is based on a proprietary measure identifying performance persistence of hedge funds. The rebalancing mechanism overweighs funds that are more likely to consistently outperform their peers, subject to a set of constraints designed to limit concentration and tail risks. The Barclays Capital Manager Access Indices incorporate a mechanism to bridge the settlement of fund subscription and fund redemption within the index at rebalancing.
The Barclays Capital Manager Access Indices are aimed at institutional investors who intend to invest in a specific hedge fund strategy and get exposure to a diversified basket of funds through a transparent and liquid format. Such investment can be either:
It is planned that the Barclays Capital Manager Access Index family is to be initiated by the launch of an equity long/short index. Future launches of Managed Access Indices will reflect the general strategy distribution of hedge funds as well as the prevailing interest in particular hedge fund strategies (see figure 3). Other investable members of the Barclays Capital Managed Access Index family, including indices around commodity trading advisers (CTAs), event-driven and Asia-focused strategies, will soon follow the equity long/short index.

BEST PERFUME EVER..... my husband got this for me and i LOVE it. smells just like D&G light blue but even better- its more feminine and lasts longer.... not to mention cheaper. anyone who likes light blue should buy this instead!!
Written by LAYLA on June 04, 2015Read Review details ►
I Love Love is my favorite perfume. I first smelled it on my hairdresser & loved it. I said it was "fruity" but it only starts out that way. It's also not a sweet fruity smell, more of a tart, fresh lemony scent which dries down to a soft feminine scent. I don't like strong musky scents and this does not seem to have that element. It's a more complicated scent of light, clean floral and maybe vanilla. I perceive it as fresh, clean & soft. People are always complimenting me on it.

I LOVE LOVE by Moschino I discovered this fragrance a few years ago while looking for something similar to Light Blue, and I instantly fell in love with it.

Jan. 16, 1951 E. c. LEE 2,538,019
METHOD OF MAKING MULTICORE ELECTRICAL CONDUCTORS Filed Jan. 7, 1947 Inventor [aw/Al (HA/H E: LEE
Patented Jan. 16,1951
METHOD OF MAKING MULTICORE ELECTRICAL CONDUCT'ORS' Edwin Charles Lee, London, England, assignor to International Standard Electric Corporation, New York, N. Y., a corporation of Delaware Application January 7, 1947, Serial No. 720,562 'In Great Britain October 29, 1945 Section 1, Public Law 690, August 8, 1946 Patent expires October 29, 1965 1 Claim. (Cl. 154 2.24)
This invention relates to electric cables and more particularly to multi-core electric power cables.
Paper, whether um'mprcgnated or impregnated with an insulating compound is a normal form of insulation in electric cables. The usual method of applying this form of insulation is to lap the required numbers of papers in the form of narrow strips around the conductors to form separate cores. Additional layers of paper may then be applied around the cores after they have been laid up in cable form. For high voltage cables,'say 11,000 volts and over, the papers must be applied with precision to avoid the formation of spaces within the dielectric, but for lower voltages the thickness of insulation is designed for mechanical rather than electrical considerations.
The' application of the paper insulation represents an appreciable proportion of the total cost of making the cable. In a four core cable, for example, there are five distinct lapping operations necessitating five different passes through the lapping machine. Furthermore the process is comparatively slow owing to the narrow widths of the paper tapes.
An object of the present invention is to cheapen the process of making a power cable by eliminating the lapping operations on the individual cores. 7
According to one feature of the present invention we provide a multi-core electric power cable in which the several cores are insulated from one another by means of a member extending along the length of the cable the cross section of which comprises a plurality of arms radiating from a centre, the separate conductor cores being laid between the arms.
The above-mentioned member may be formed so that the portions whose cross sections constitute the arms are helical so that the conductor cores are laid in helices, as must be the case if 2 Preferably also the flexible arms are 'made of suflicient length to enable them to be folded around the separate conductors.
The invention will be better understood from the following description of one embodiment, as applied to a four core cable, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which: Fig. 1 shows a cross section of an electric power cable in accordance With the invention.
Figs. 2, 3 and 4 show successive steps in the formation of the insulation of the cable of Fig. 1. Fig. 5 shows the form in which the insulating member of Figs. 2 to 4 may be stored.
Referring to the drawings, an electric power cable is formed with a member I having four arms radiating from the centre, so as, in the case of the four core cable illustrated, to have a cruciform cross section. This central member is formed from a plurality of superposed paper strips in the manner shown in Figs. 2 to 4. Fig. 2 shows in cross section a plurality of paper strips laid one above the other. The width 3 of the strips is sumcient to enable the formation of the arms 2 of Fig. 1. The length at right angles to the plane of the paper may be sufiicientto produce a manufacturing length of cable without jointing although there is no objection to making a joint by over-lapping the papers. The
, papers are folded lengthwise as shown in Fig. 3
the cable is to be flexible but preferably the member is of flexible material so that the process of laying up the separate conductors to form the,
included in the laying up of the conductors d to form the cable in which case the guides and supply rolls for the paper strips would be attached to the cable making machine. The paper member shown in Fig. 4 is then fed along the centre line of the machine and the copper conductors 4 guided between the limbs. The portions of the arms 2 extending beyond the conductors are then folded around the conductors, as shown in Fig. 1 by passage through a die. Fillers 5, in the form of extended folded strips of paper or jute string, folded into the cross section shown in Fig. 1 are guided into position and the assembly passed through a second die to form an approximately circular section. The effect of the fillers is to complete the turnover of the extremities of the arms 2 and to fill up the gaps at the extremities of the radial portions of these arms. Finally, on leaving the second die, the outer or belt papers 6 are applied by the usual rotating head.
During the laying up operation the conductors 4 are twisted according to normal practice and preferably are pretwisted during the stranding 3 of the individual wires, again according to normal practice.
If desired a central filler I may be inserted during the manufacture of the cable.
After the application of the belt insulation 6 a lead sheath (not shown) is applied by extrusion in the normal manner.
If desired the central member I after being formed into the shape shown in Fig. 4 may be stored, before being used in the manufacture of the cable, by being flattened into the shape shown in Fig. 5 and coiled on a drum, which drum is then mounted whenrequire'd on the laying up machine.
It is clear that the invention can readily :be applied to the manufacture of a cable of any number of cores.
What is claimed is:
A process for producing a multi-core electric power cable comprising the steps of superimposing a plurality of insulating paper strips in stacked relation, folding said stacked strips as a continuous unit into cruciform shape, laying a. plurality of conductors between the arms of said cruciform, folding each arm to completely encircle a conductor core, inserting a filler at the center from which the arms radiate and inserting peripheral fillers in the openings between the end of each arm and the nextadjacentarm.

Should obese people receive preferential treatment at work?
The radio station's Breakfast crew asks if obese people deserve preferential treatment.
Many people struggle with weight issues and tomorrow (June 17), Capital FM's Capital Breakfast with Pamela Chong and Janice Yap tread a thin line as the as they take on the thorny issue of obesity. The ladies want to know whether obesity should be classified as a disability and if those struggling with the issue should be given preferential treatment at the workplace.
The debate comes after Karsten Kaltoft, a Danish national, was fired from his work as a childminder for being too large, and now he is suing his local authority at the European Court of Justice for unlawful dismissal.
If Kaltoft wins the lawsuit, it will force employers across Europe to find ways to accommodate larger people so they are not at a disadvantage to their slimmer colleagues. This could mean larger parking bays, sturdier furniture and, more important, the right of the employee not to be dismissed for his or her weight.
However, this case has sparked mixed reactions among people. While providing benefits for obese workers would make their work more comfortable, many folks argue that it will encourage unhealthy lifestyles and promote the idea that people do not have control over their weight or appearance.
Joining the lively discussion tomorrow is US Certified Counselling Psychologist Dr. Cathie Wu who will provide a perspective on the cultural differences at the heart of the issue and ask if "anti-discrimination" laws like this do in fact increase discrimination towards those affected.
Chong and Yap will open the phone lines from 7.30am to 9am for listeners to call in and share their thoughts on this heavy topic.
For more info, tune in to Capital FM on 88.9FM in the Klang Valley and 107.6FM in Penang.

Remember Me
"So long as the human spirit thrives on this
Music in some living form will accompany and sustain it
And give it expressive meaning."
- Aaron Copland, composer
This quote was chiseled into the side of the building across the street
from the venue where I saw the monumental show described below, and was the
first thing I saw upon exiting.
Rashied Ali replaced Elvin Jones as John Coltrane's main drummer for
the last three years of Coltrane's life. When you read biographies about Ali
and his drumming style, you often see words like "innovator, "transcending,"
and "revolutionize." He is responsible for refining the role of the drummer's
interaction within an ensemble by "trying to find something else to do instead
of just play time." He understood people kept the beat going in their heads
whether he played or not, and so he began to play around the same way that Coltrane
did, taking the listener to task. He played his drums in a melodic way while
never acquiescing to the primal importance of the swing in jazz. Drummer Billy
Martin agrees, "Not only was Rashied Ali an extremely powerful influence
on my playing when listening to late Coltrane recordings in my youth, he recently
blew my mind when I heard him in Europe with a small ensemble… He is a universal
treasure." And so it follows that the interplay between drummers and bassists
became increasingly important when fleshing out a tune and giving it direction.
In fact, many tunes in jazz music are written specifically for the bass, while
other players vamp, playing around the roots.
Rounding out the quintet were trumpet player Jumaane Smith and guitarist Andy
Coe, both of who graduated from Seattle's Roosevelt High School's acclaimed
jazz program in the late 1990s. Since graduating and leaving Seattle for New
York City, Smith has been studying with Wynton Marsalis at Julliard and
with Rashied Ali while working on his trumpet's voice and writing compositions.
Andy Coe lives in Seattle and plays with numerous groups across the Pacific
Northwest. He honed his skills in the University of North Texas' jazz program
before moving to New York City and meeting up with Ali. He and his brother David
formed Coe Brothers Presents and worked very hard to make this show happen.
This kind of enthusiasm is what many older musicians find thrilling about the
evolution of the scene today, and Ali's openness and excited support was clear.
As he explained to Modern Drummer magazine, "I'm rooting for the young
musicians, I'm rooting for the future, because I think this music has a future
and it's about finding it."
One of jazz's biggest influences upon jam bands is a technique known as modal
playing. Instead of relying on a definite harmony played around a standard chord
progression, modal playing uses rhythmic space as a melodic structuring element,
emphasizing one scale, usually just a couple of chords – a major and a minor.
This way, a soloist isn't locked into a chord progression and theoretically
has the freedom to play until all the notes have been exhausted. Miles Davis
and John Coltrane pioneered modal playing, essentially improvisatory jamming
over just a couple of chords. Think about the jams and the solos in "Fire On
The Mountain," or "Wharf Rat," "Eyes of the World," or even "Viola Lee Blues"--lengthy
improvisations taking place over just two or three chords. Bluegrass music,
too, has a fair amount of modal playing and of course an improvisatory nature.
The Grateful Dead's respect for the history of jazz and other styles of music
allowed them to take these intellectual components and wed them to a rock 'n'
roll backbeat with success still unmatched.
Both the early and the late shows at the Triple Door were sold out, as were
the two nights the quintet had played in Portland, Oregon the two previous evenings.
Immediately giving credence to the ideas I've discussed, I noted a solid third
of the audience was under 30 years old. A red velvet curtain rose, exposing
the quintet against a black and fiber-optic lit screen, much like the ceiling
in New Orleans' Saenger
Theatre. The set began with the Ravi Coltrane's composition "For Zoe," and
as the band took solos I noticed it seemed that every note played, and those
not played, seemed perfect--that this tune could not have been constructed
or played any other way. Of course with jazz or other improvisatory music, we
suspect the opposite is true, but it struck me as perfect. A tune called "Saturn"
from Rashied Ali and John Coltrane's original album Interstellar Space
was played next. More emotive that many types of music, at times jazz sounds
to me like the repeated cycle of instrumental conflict and resolution. One moment
Workman would be furiously bowing at his impossibly large bass, the next you
could hear his calloused fingers traverse the strings. Notes, tone, and timing
often tell you more than words ever can.
So will jam bands be able to bridge the gap to jazz for a new generation? I'd
argue that unless artists go deep into the musical history of the American jazz
tradition and take the time to get comfortable, there will be a fundamental
communication gap. That's not to say that music won't be palatable, but the
integrity and quality of the craft are at stake. It's similar to musicians educating
themselves in musical theory. The reason that the Rashied Ali Quintet show at
the Triple Door was so phenomenal is that the younger players have taken
the time to learn the history--standards, charts, scales and modes--and diligently
apply themselves to the craft of improvisatory composition. Chances are, artists
who have a pure love of music, learning styles new and old, have a far better
chance of creating something unique and meaningful than artists who think jamming
began with the Dead. It began with the freedoms taken by visionaries John Coltrane
and Miles Davis' quartets and quintets in the '50s and '60s. It continued with
artists like the Grateful Dead, who brought jazz concepts to the mainstream.
Now it is in the capable hands of bands like Medeski
Martin & Wood, Garage
A Trois, and the Bad
Plus. It is these bands, among many others, that I now rely on to be the
soundtrack of my life, in the words of Mr. Copland, to "give it expressive meaning,"
and for that I am eternally grateful.

It seems almost impossible to get these all work together.
However now I think I got close, but this still doesn't work across domains. I don't want Windows Authentication to block access to Web Service as it currently does. I just need to know user's identity and offer data based on that. There are also some methods that require anonymous access.

<tcpTransport maxBufferSize="999999999" maxReceivedMessageSize="999999999" />
And why EncryptAndSign doesn't require certificate? It uses SSL to encrypt messages, right? I would be happy to use sslStreamSecurity, but it didn't work either.
I suppose my current solution uses message security? Transport security would be more than enough and it would also be faster, but I'm not exaclty sure what I then would have to change

On Tuesday at 7 p.m. at the Starkville Public Library, Starkville Reads will present a lecture and discussion on D-Day and Jeff ShaaraŌĆÖs novel about it entitled ŌĆ£The Steel WaveŌĆØ given by Dr. Mary Kathryn Barbier.
Barbier is an associate professor in the MSU History Department specializing in military history.
Dr. Barbier received a bachelorŌĆÖs degree in history from the University of New Orleans, an masterŌĆÖs degree in history from Louisiana State University, an M.S. degree in Secondary Education from Loyola University in New Orleans, and a Ph.D. in American History from the University of Southern Mississippi.
Her 2007 book, ŌĆ£D-Day Reception: Operation Fortitude and the Normandy Invasion,ŌĆØ was released in 2009 in paperback.
In 2010 she co-edited, ŌĆ£America and the Vietnam War: Re-examining the Culture and History of a Generation.ŌĆØ
Earlier publications include ŌĆ£AmericaŌĆÖs Armed Forces: The U.S. Army; Kursk: The Greatest Tank Battle Ever Fought 1943;ŌĆØ and ŌĆ£Strategy and Tactics: Infantry Warfare: The Theory and Practice of Infantry Combat in the 20th CenturyŌĆØ with Andrew Wiest.
Her current research is on Lily Sergueiew, a female double agent during World War II.
At Tuesday eveningŌĆÖs program, Dr. Barbier will first discuss D-Day itself and will then focus on ShaaraŌĆÖs novel, which presents the D-Day Invasion from numerous points of view, including those of Eisenhower, Rommel, and a variety of soldiers who represent different groups in the military, including the paratroopers who landed behind enemy lines.
Nancy Hargrove, president of Starkville Reads, notes that the community is fortunate to have a specialist in World War II and particularly D-Day to make this presentation and encourages all those interested to attend.
Hargrove said, beginning in January 1944 and concluding in July 1944, the novel is well-researched and includes many realistic and historically accurate details.
A question and answer period will follow Dr. BarbierŌĆÖs presentation.
Hargrove said that while it would be helpful to have read all or part of the novel prior to the program, those who have not read it will learn a great deal about D-Day itself and may choose to read the novel as a result.
ŌĆ£The Steel WaveŌĆØ is the second part of a trilogy focusing on World War II in Europe.
Starkville Reads donated copies of the book to the Starkville Public Library, where they may be checked out.
The program is open to all free of charge.

The Yankees lost to the White Sox 2-1 on Wednesday and were swept in a three-game series. In light of the sweep, it's no surprise that manager Joe Girardi wasn't in the best of moods after the game. In fact, he even stopped a press conference with reporters to confront a heckler.
"Yankees swept, yes!" the heckler yelled, before Girardi began his press conference.
The heckler continued to yell as Girardi was fielding a question, but the manager stopped mid-answer to go after the heckler and tell him "shut up! I'm doing an interview!"
Impressively, Girardi returned to the press conference and continued his answer right where he left off.
The outburst was out of character for the typically composed manager — it's not like we're talking about Lou Piniella or something — so it makes you wonder if there wasn't some history between the two in a Chris Perez type of situation.
The Yankees are still 72-52 despite the losing streak, but the Rays are closing and only three games back. That could be why Girardi is suddenly feeling the heat.

Physician offices still need policies for handling cash
Although only a few patients may pay in cash, medical practices still need policies for handling it, in part to prevent employee embezzlement, experts said. Practice consultants advised keeping cash drawers for patient payments separate from petty cash for small purchases, implementing theft-prevention procedures such as having just one staff person assigned to handle cash payments, and keeping a limited amount of money in the office.
