''Gojira[=/=]Godzilla'' introduces a new type of radioactive monstrosity in a new, darker way...''Gojira'' (or ''Godzilla'' for English-speaking viewers), is a black and white {{kaiju}} {{tokusatsu}} film directed by Creator/IshiroHonda in 1954 and the first film of the ''Franchise/{{Godzilla}}'' franchise. The story is written by Shigeru Kayama. The film is roughly based on Honda's wartime experience as well as seeing the wasteland of Hiroshima caused by the atomic bombing. It had a profound effect on his outlook, leading to a strong dislike of nuclear weapons. Thus, the film is a metaphor for their destructive power. The opening scene is a direct reference to the Castle Bravo test, and Godzilla's rampage in the second act symbolizes the atomic bombings.The film also has an ensemble cast of characters, Ogata (Akira Takarada), Emiko Yamane (Momoko Koichi), Dr. Yamane (Takashi Shimura), and Dr. Daisuke Serizawa (Akihiko Hirata). A summary of the film's story can be found on the franchise's main page.While set up originally as a ''horror film'', this film sets up the landmark of {{Kaiju}} being a genre on its own, and the legacy of this film is what would make one of the greatest franchises in the world.Despite debuting to poor reception in Japan initially, ([[VindicatedByHistory in subsequent years, Japanese film scholars and fans of the series have come to consider it one of the best Japanese films ever made]]), ''Gojira'' (or ''Godzilla'', take your pick), was praised by American viewers after the original film was made available outside of Japan with two DVD releases, by Classic Media and Creator/TheCriterionCollection. The English version, ''Film/GodzillaKingOfTheMonsters'' was edited to add American reporter Steve Martin ([[Franchise/PerryMason Raymond]] [[Series/{{Ironside 1967}} Burr]]), and remove some of the slower scenes. (Despite the edits, it still has merit.) There is also the Italian version, ''Film/ItalianGodzillaKingOfTheMonsters'', a much stranger recut that includes colorization and StockFootage from UsefulNotes/WorldWarII.Something very important to note is that despite the infamous "[[{{Narm}} cheese]]" factor of its later sequels, for this film, ''[[ReverseCerebusSyndrome not so much]]''. ''Gojira'', its first sequel, ''Film/GodzillaRaidsAgain'', and their American counterparts are horror films. It's amazingly dark and [[TearJerker depressing]], and this is the ''first'' film of the series.Not to be confused with the French [[TechnicalDeathMetal progressive death metal]] band [[{{Music/Gojira}} of the same name]].----!!! This film shows the examples of:* ATeamFiring: The military brings out fighter jets to attack Godzilla as a last-ditch effort. Too bad the missiles keep missing him, even as he submerges into the ocean.* AdaptationDyeJob: According to other sources, Godzilla is actually brown. The American version's poster depicted him green while merchandize depicted him charcoal-gray like his other successors.* AdultFear: ** A woman holding her children, telling them they will see their father soon... wow...** The child having a Geiger counter used on him, signifying he'll die from radiation poisoning.* ApocalypseWow: We see what happened in the second act and the aftermath of the third.* AlasPoorVillain: You'd wouldn't ''think so'' towards Godzilla. But when you consider he survived a hydrogen bomb test, you know Ishiro Honda goes out of his way to show that, yes, this gigantic radioactive monstrosity, is a victim to the nuclear age.* AntagonistTitle: ''Gojira'' refers to Godzilla, who's the villain here.* ArtMajorBiology: Godzilla is supposedly from the Jurassic Era of dinosaurs (the era itself being 201.3± 0.6 Ma). Shigeru Kayama purposely date the Jurassic Era later than that to tie Godzilla's origins to man.* ArtisticLicensePaleontology: Dr. Yamane's description of the Mesozoic Era is woefully inaccurate. * ArtisticLicensePhysics: Having the oxygen atoms in your body spontaneously destroyed[[note]]We'll just ignore all the scientific laws this violates in and of itself[[/note]] would be ''nasty'' and most likely fatal, but probably would not strip the flesh from your bones and disintegrate you.* AttackOfThe50FootWhatever: Godzilla is exactly 50 meters in the Japanese version. The dub overshot this with him being 400 feet tall, which is 121.92 meters. The latter is rather inconsistent, due to him being barely taller than a couple of buildings that would be over his height.* AvoidTheDreadedGRating: Averted. While there was a special event for children where Momoko Koichi and Haruo Nakajima (in the suit) in Hawaii uniforms (Godzilla even had a ''guitar'' around his neck), the film is still classified as a horror film.* BadVibrations: An early example. It usually signifies an OhCrap for everyone, including the audience. However, the special effect used for other scenes is rather... odd. Since in the party boat scene, we can hear the stomping ''before'' Godzilla surfaces(it would made sense, but sound is usually not heard underwater), then again when it can be heard before Godzilla puts his head out of the water in his first rampage. In fact, Akira Ifukube accidentally stepped on a sound system, and it was used in the film.* BerserkButton: Shine lights in Godzilla's face, he [[IllKillYou will absolutely kill you]]. Dr. Yamane even suggests not to use lights on Godzilla during the monster's short rampage. It's explained in the second film when Yamane says Godzilla doesn't like bright lights because they remind him of the glare of the atomic bomb which turned him into what he is today.* BadassNormal: Daisuke Serizawa, a brilliant yet otherwise ordinary human, is responsible for one of the few times that the King of Monsters has been defeated. * BigBad: Aside from the pun, Godzilla's actions kick-started the plot, and his death has cast his shadow over the entire franchise in all 3 entire series, Showa, Heisei, and Millennium. However, his Showa successor went from a villain to a hero, Heisei successor from villain to antihero, and multiple ones who are villains and antiheroes in the Millennium series. * BreathWeapon: Godzilla's Atomic Breath, a stream of radioactive plasma which he uses to blow up the ships at the films beginning, melt the high-tension power lines, and burn Tokyo to the ground. * CentralTheme: '''Tragedy''' and '''Consequences'''. What, you thought we were kidding? Even the central characters are not immune for the latter, which triggered the trope of the former. And then there's the cleverly hidden WarIsHell theme.* ContrivedCoincidence: Godzilla seems to know where to go in this film. He lands on Odo Island (where Masaji happens to be), Came to Tokyo twice on separate nights. But since this is an Creator/IshiroHonda film, it's PlayedForDrama. And he's damn good at it. Until ''Film/DestroyAllMonsters'', FridgeHorror kicks in 'cause the monsters are aware of their target's location.* CruelAndUnusualDeath: [[spoiler: Godzilla and Dr. Daisuke Serizawa being disintegrated by the Oxygen Destroyer.]]* CurbStompBattle: Godzilla vs. the army. Godzilla's like "What army?" as he steps on them. * DeadlineNews: A radio crew reporting the attack on Tokyo realize they have no way out. Accepting it, they announce this fact to their listeners and continue reporting until Godzilla destroys the tower from which they're broadcasting. * DarkerAndEdgier: It's a very dark film of its time. Before its ReverseCerebusSyndrome and LighterAndSofter sequels (barring its first direct sequel ''Film/GodzillaRaidsAgain''), it is much darker than the radioactive monsters of the 50's and this is the ''first film'' of the film's overall chronology.* DeathByIrony: Masaji, the fisherman who survived Godzilla's third attack in the ocean, has an OhCrap when Godzilla comes to Odo Island during a typhoon.* DecoyProtagonist: In the opening, Ogata seemingly shown as the protagonist of the film. He's not.* DigitalDestruction: The Classic Media Blu-ray of Gojira used a mediocre, rough looking print hit with excessive grain smoothing (which didn't even get rid of much of it to begin with). Fortunately, the CriterionCollection Blu-ray gave the film a proper restoration. * DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Considering Creator/IshiroHonda directed this film and its screenplay, there are several references to Japan's experience in the aftermath World War II and the incoming UsefulNotes/ColdWar: **The Eiko Maru blowing up in the beginning is a direct reference to the nuclear incident that occurred earlier in the year, when the US "Castle Bravo" test detonated a hydrogen bomb in the Pacific and the ''Lucky Dragon 5'' fishing boat got caught in the radiation burst by ''accident''. ** Godzilla himself is not just a metaphor of the atomic bomb (or nuclear weapons in general), but also a living nuclear weapon. A rather sad part, Godzilla in the climax is treated as the monster itself is innocent, since it experienced the aftershock of the nuclear weapons that gave the monster its powers. How it went to "[[KillAllHumans kill every single human that stands in my way]]", we will never know.** The exchange with Ogata and Dr. Yamane when Ogata agrees with the army to kill Godzilla because of him being a reminder of the atomic bombings. Unfortunately, Yamane doesn't take it well, and kicks Ogata out of his house.** The fire raids. Those of you don't know about the fire raids, [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombing_of_Tokyo look it up]].** A couple complains about using bomb shelters should Godzilla come again. The majority of the generation of that era would most likely be survivors during the time when US air raids were common during World War II.* DownerEnding: The most famous one in Japanese cinema. Godzilla is killed, but at the cost of Serizawa's life. He destroyed his notes, so there's no more Oxygen Destroyer option if another Godzilla were to come around.* DyingMomentOfAwesome: Serizawa's final moments and words. He is forever canonically the first human to have ever defeated Godzilla by himself.* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: In contrast to the later films, ''Godzilla'' is perhaps the most depressing piece of work ever written in Japanese cinema, to the point of cynicism. Unlike the later sequels, there's a very clear anti-war and anti-nuclear message written over it. This is made by the man who saw the aftermath of Hiroshima, and considered to be the ''best'' film of the franchise.* EyePatchOfPower: Again, Serizawa, the brilliant scientist who made the Oxygen Destroyer, wears an eye patch. * FilmNoir: While this movie isn't a crime drama, it nevertheless makes use of ''Noir''-style lighting.* ForeignRemake: Has 2 under its belt by the US. The much-maligned ''Film/{{Godzilla 1998}}'' and the [[Film/{{Godzilla2014}} 2014 remake]] for its [[MilestoneCelebration 60th anniversary]].* {{Foreshadowing}}: In the beginning of the film, we see the fishing boats explode, and earlier, a blinding flash of light. In Godzilla's second raid in Tokyo, they are revealed to be the result of his [[BreathWeapon Atomic Breath]]* FromBadToWorse: People find out Godzilla is a giant radiation-mutated dinosaur. Said mutant dinosaur can ''use'' a radioactive BreathWeapon, and proximity towards him can make people suffer from radiation poisoning.* GiantEqualsInvincible: Godzilla. The big guy set the stage for "giant monster ignores heavy artillery".* GodzillaThreshold: The Japanese government is willing to go to any lengths to eliminate Godzilla, including using an untested superweapon that will cause drastic long-term damage to Japan's own marine-based economy. The entire point of the film, in fact, is to examine how humanity is willing to develop and deploy ever more powerful weapons without regard for the consequences, making this an UnbuiltTrope.* GoneHorriblyWrong: The JSDF sends ships out to depth charge Godzilla. Not only does that not work, the creature follows the ships back to Tokyo Bay and lays waste to the city.* GreyAndGrayMorality: As the DVD commentary says, the crux of the film is its moral ambiguity that Serizawa is wrestling with. If he does nothing, Godzilla will surely destroy his people, putting his inaction as culpable to the extinction of the Japanese. However if he uses the Oxygen Destroyer, it creates the danger of a new arms race, and one that has the power to cause ''the utter destruction of all mankind''. It's because there is no third option in this film that Serizawa is so tortured by the decision he has to make.* HappilyAdopted: Godzilla killed Shinkichi's mother and brother. Now he's Emiko's adopted brother, and doesn't mind being their new son. In ''Godzilla vs. Destoroyah'', he really does seemed to get along with his adopted father in his picture with Dr. Yamane. * HellIsThatNoise: Would you believe that Godzilla's roar was a result of a rubber glove used against a string instrument? It's damn chilling too. * TheHeroDies: [[spoiler:Daisuke Serizawa cuts the rope tethering him to the boat so that the secret of the Oxygen Destroyer dies with him.]]* HeroicBSOD: Serizawa has one after realizing the full weight that rests on his shoulders. One must wonder how Akihiko Hirata felt when playing the guy. As mentioned in the BittersweetEnding entry, Yamane laments that Godzilla was the last of his kind, but if nuclear tests are continued to be conducted, another Godzilla will appear again in the world. Cue FridgeHorror for that part.* HopeSpot: The military are throwing everything they can, including electrical wires, at Godzilla. Cue Atomic Breath and ensuing death that follows.* {{Horror}}: This is technically a ''horror'' film. Unlike most giant monster films and its later sequels (except ''Film/GodzillaRaidsAgain'') that weren't, this one sets it apart differently. The black and white nature of the film lampshades this, and it is actually meant to scare the shit out of you. Not just the picture format, but the music has its level of creepiness.* IgnoredExpert: Guess how Tokyo ended up when Dr. Yamane told them to never use lights on Godzilla? In ''Film/GodzillaRaidsAgain'', the military were wise enough to listen to him.* InfantImmortality: Played with. Shinkichi survives (which is played straight). The children on the second act survives the attack from Godzilla, but their mother dies. Then one of Yamane's colleague uses the Geiger Counter on a boy who has the counter crackle near him.* IntrepidReporter: Though not a main character, Hagiwara tries to get the story as much as he can. Throughout the whole movie, he survives the ''entire'' film.* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: Daisuke Serizawa, one of the scientists involved in the story, is aware that Emiko Yamane is with Ogata the whole time. Even he knows she's inseparable with the man. During the climax, [[spoiler: he willingly sacrifices himself so that Emiko and Ogata would be together. (Also to prevent his knowledge of the Oxygen Destroyer from falling into the wrong hands)]].* LastOfHisKind: Dr. Yamane believes Godzilla is the last of his kind. Then he revises this statement and says that another one will appear again. Unfortunately, he was right. * {{Leitmotif}}: ** The theme for the opening credits was ''not'' meant for Godzilla, but for the military. Both Godzilla and the JSDF have two themes.** It can be hard to hear at first, but the sailor's harmonica tune in the opening scene can be heard later as the Oxygen Destroyer's theme in Emiko's flashback (which is later used as its theme in ''Film/GodzillaVsDestoroyah'')* LittlestCancerPatient: After Godzilla devastates Tokyo, there's a closeup of a little boy with a Geiger counter waved around his face, clicking rapidly.* LoveTriangle: This is the first monster film (albeit a rather ''tragic [[{{Kaiju}} giant monster film]]'') to use such a trope. Serizawa's obviously in love with Emiko, while she herself is in love with Ogata. This is further complicated when Ogata ''asks'' Serizawa to use the Oxygen Destroyer rather than Emiko, and thus proving his point that humans want to use any one superweapon, despite a living nuclear weapon practically '''destroying''' their hometown. Serizawa relents after the destruction of Tokyo, and the love triangle shifted to him going to the "I want my beloved to be happy" phase.* MadScientist: Inverted. Serizawa's not a mad scientist despite his appearance and lab equipment. In fact, he's horrified by the weapon he's accidentally created. Kyohei Yamane, however, was originally gonna be one.* ManlyTears: Both Ogata and Shinkichi cry when Serizawa made his HeroicSacrifice at the climax of the film.* MeaningfulBackgroundEvent: During the typhoon scene as Shinkichi shouts to his brother, you can see the lower half of Godzilla on the upper left side of the screen as he destroys Masaji's house.* MightyGlacier: Just look at that suit. In production, it's the heaviest and stiffest suit ever made (the prototype suit is ''200 pounds''). This works well with the plot, as Godzilla's attack in the second act serves as a rolling nuclear explosion slowly killing everything in his path. Future suits would be made for Godzilla to become a LightningBruiser.* MightyRoar: Godzilla introduces himself to the Odo Island reseach team with that (soon to be) iconic monster roar. * MissingMom: Emiko's mother is not mentioned. We are assumed that Kyohei Yamane is widowed in this film, since Emiko lives with her father. * MonumentalDamage: The first film of its kind, with the destruction of the Wako Clocktower and the Diet Building. Later films will do this a lot. Interestingly though, the Diet Building scene was filmed first. However, the damage to the building did not crumble correctly, so it had to be reshot.* NationalGeographicNudity: In an early beach scene a couple of older fisherwomen are seen casually topless. Japan hadn't yet adopted Western attitudes towards that kind of nudity.* NextSundayAD: The film takes place in summer 1955 (specifically August) according to the original English sales brochure. However, unlike the Heisei series which always takes place a year than the release date, every film afterwards dates the movie in 1954.* NoHuggingNoKissing: Even though Emiko and Ogata is the film's OfficialCouple (in the eyes of the audience), they don't try to do both in this film. Ogata ''does'' indicate that he intends to ask Dr. Yamane for Emiko's hand, but this is quickly forgotten and in any case, there is no fiancé level affection. * NoPlansNoPrototypeNoBackup: {{Invoked|Trope}} by Serizawa, who is afraid of his Oxygen Destroyer being used as a weapon. He clearly has hundreds of research documents and notes for creating the Oxygen Destroyer, but he destroys all of it to prevent the device from ever being used again, and just to be safe, [[spoiler:he kills himself immediately after using it]].* NoSell: This is where Godzilla's GiantEqualsInvincible comes into play. Military weapons has no effect on the guy whatsoever.* NothingIsScarier: Used in the first act. You know something is destroying those boats, but the monster is nowhere to be seen. In the typhoon scene, you can hear the footsteps of the monster, then his lower half is shown, followed by crushed buildings, then a crushed helicopter ending with a DramaticWind. ''In that order''. * NotSoDifferent: If you think the Japanese are heavily afflicted by the atomic bombs, then Godzilla isn't so different. In the climax, Godzilla looks peaceful and it's apparent that he just want to be left alone. Cue the fact that Godzilla ends up a ''TragicMonster''.* NuclearWeaponsTaboo: The whole point of this movie is that not only nuclear weapons, but weapons of mass destruction in general. Dr. Yamane stated using said nuclear weapons could bring another Godzilla. * OhCrap: ** In the Odo Island scene, the villagers were scurrying to fight off the monster (apparently, they don't know how huge the thing is). While Dr. Yamane saw the monster, the whole village ran back down after seeing Godzilla. ** While the people on a partyboat are in a celebration, Godzilla [[spoiler: appears unscathed, and scares the hell out of everyone in the boat]].** While blasting Godzilla to death (or attempting to), Godzilla melts the electrical wires, of course, it means ''run like hell!!''* OffModel: Several close-ups of Godzilla's head are used by a hand puppet, with varying degrees of success. For instance, in a few scenes where he shoots his atomic breath, his eyes were... weird to say the least. Other times, they ''would'' (sorta) match the up with the suit footage.* OutOfFocus: Hagiwara is very important in the first half of the film, but has a lot less to do toward the end. * PhysicalGod: Godzilla was worshipped as a malevolent sea god by the people of Odo Island, who once sent {{virgin sacrifice}}s out on rafts to appease his wrath. When ships start being torn to shreds offshore and survivors wash up with strange burns, the islanders conduct a ritual to appease him. It doesn't work. * PlatonicLifePartners: This is what Emiko initally believes regarding Serizawa. Unfortunately, he [[AllLoveIsUnrequited thinks otherwise]].* PlayedForDrama: ''Everything'' in this film is played for drama. Including the climax, where you'd expect the film to end on a high note. [[BittersweetEnding It doesn't]].* PosthumousCharacter: Both Godzilla and Serizawa are this. Godzilla especially (except ''Film/GodzillaVsMegaguirus''), considering it's his actions in the film that makes him TheDreaded that any character will bring up the events of this film in all three series. Serizawa especially is one as well as he is the man who defeated Godzilla.* {{Recut}}: Germany's cut was a simple dubbed and edited edition (running 82 minutes), while France got a unique hybrid edit of the original cut and ''King of the Monsters'' (running about 90 minutes).* ReluctantMadScientist: Though not necessarily "mad", Serizawa relunctantly decided to use the Oxygen Destroyer afer seeing the destruction Godzilla caused. Though he intends to use the Oxygen Destroyer once, his [[HeroicSacrifice heroic sacrifice]] is foreshadowed in an eariler scene when [[spoiler: he clearly states that he'd burn his notes at the event of his death]].* ReverseCerebusSyndrome: For anyone who has seen the sillier DenserAndWackier and LighterAndSofter entries, this ''not'' such a film. This film is based on real-life tragedy and Creator/IshiroHonda's traumatizing experience of the aftermath of the Little Boy atom bomb that desolated Hiroshima. The film also possess one of the most tragic monsters in an age where atomic monsters were a thing. * SaveTheVillain: Played with. Kyohei Yamane does not want Godzilla to be killed because he survived the H-Bomb testing in the Pacific. As mentioned above, Yamane wants to study Godzilla because he's a paleontologist. However, he ends up having to agree to kill Godzilla after what he did to Tokyo.* SceneryGorn: Tokyo after Godzilla nuked the place. In a chilling way, it looks like the town has been nuked by an atomic bomb. Which, in reality, was the real intent.* SeaMonster: Godzilla is revealed to be an amphibious prehistoric reptile that was living in deep-sea trenches before H-Bomb tests irradiated it.* SequelHook: Though unintentional, Dr. Yamane's final line suggests there may be another Godzilla somewhere in the world. Three series later (except ''Godzilla vs. Megaguiurus''), it ended up happening.* SlasherSmile: The look of Godzilla facial expression looks like he has one.%%* SlidingScaleOfIdealismVsCynicism: Leans ''very'' hard on the cynicism.* SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped: Treated directional and in-universe. In case you don't know, it's Serizawa's and the ''director's'' point of the film. Since Honda's experience in the World War II and haunted by experience of Hiroshima's destruction by the first atomic bomb, Serizawa's line tells us humans can be and are destructive to the point we would use any kind of weapon and most likely to use it in a war. If someone has accidentally make a superweapon of some sort, it's ''your'' responsibility to never reveal its existence.* SpellMyNameWithAThe: Der Godzilla is referred to with an integral article the way an animal would be in the German dub.* StrippedToTheBone: What the Oxygen Destroyer does to living things.* SuperNotDrowningSkills: Since this is the first film, Godzilla appears sleeping underwater when the climax starts. Justified as Godzilla is considered to be an intermediate dinosaur, capable of surviving underwater as long as he wants.* SympatheticMurderer: Monster example. You know that 50-metered giant radioactive monster that is hell-bent on attacking humanity and looks like he has a SlasherSmile? Not only is he a main villain, but the climax disturbingly treated him in a sympathetic light, compared to his JerkassWoobie successors.* TakeAThirdOption: Serizawa is faced with either allowing Godzilla to destroy Japan (and then the world), or using a weapon that he knows will spark another deadly arms race that could lead to the destruction of Earth by warring governments. [[spoiler:In the end, he opts to use the weapon on himself and Godzilla, ensuring all research goes with him to his watery grave.]]* TemptingFate: So you'd think by now Dr. Yamane says that Godzilla survived an H-Bomb testing, and nothing could stop him. Yet the military bombards the thing when he crosses the high-tension electrical towers and he uses his atomic breath. They ''still'' attack him after he blows up and crushes every building in his way.* TokenRomance: A ''tragic'' example in a {{horror}} film, and of a LoveTriangle version. It's one of the rare important subplots where it's another focus of the story, because writing it out wouldn't be as powerful as it than in the final product.* TooDumbToLive: The army and anyone else that tried to kill Godzilla. They tried, then [[CurbStompBattle they got blasted by the thing]].* ToServeMan: During his rampage Godzilla bites down on a tower to get at the people on it, and gnaws on a train. According to the myths of Odo Island, he would come ashore to feast on mankind unless appeased by sacrifices and ritual dances. * {{Tragedy}}: Aside {{Horror}}, this fits the bill as well. [[spoiler: The de-factor hero dies killing the tragic monster.]]* TragicMonster: Godzilla ''himself''. Mentioned before, Godzilla is also treated as a victim due to the aftermath of his horrible experience. No wonder Creator/IshiroHonda felt so strongly that nuclear weapons would be mankind's undoing.* UnbuiltTrope: A monster awakened by a nuclear weapon and attacking innocent people and devastates a major city? Haven't seen that before. A giant monster awaken and mutated to the point of scarring it for life, blames humanity, ''annihilates'' a major city, dies in a TearJerker manner, but no epic fanfare celebrating its' defeat? Holy ''crap''...* VillainProtagonist: Godzilla, who is the central character and a ''tragic'' example.* VirginSacrifice: When explaining the significance behind the ritual dance, one of the Odo Islanders casually remarks they used to send young girls out on rafts for Godzilla to eat. * WarIsHell: Godzilla is basically the consequence of nuclear war; wide spread destruction, poisoning the water in his wake, militaries dying like flies. It's not glorious at all. The film was made during post-war Japan, 9 years since the first [[UsefulNotes/AtomicBombingsOfHiroshimaAndNagasaki atomic bombing on Hiroshima]], but now Japan had to contend with the Cold War since the nuclear incident with Castle Bravo and ''Lucky Dragon 5'', and we're not kidding, since it ''[[VeryLooselyBasedOnATrueStory actually happened]]''. Creator/IshiroHonda, the man behind the film, saw what the aftermath of Hiroshima to him, and it [[ShellShockedVeteran haunted him for the rest of his life]]. The climax illustrates this very well, and it shows. * WatchingTroyBurn: Tokyo is utterly destroyed by Godzilla while its survivors literally watch it burn. It would make you cringe since it would remind you of what happened to Hiroshima and Nagasaki. * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Whatever happened to the military platoons attacking Godzilla in the second act? The first platoon was busy shooting Godzilla as he surfaces, then before his destruction starts, a whole platoon tries to annihiliate him when he uses his atomic breath.* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: ''Godzilla and Daisuke Serizawa''. ** There's already enough scenes to show how much of a woobie Serizawa is, and he literally ''is'' a destoryer of worlds (accidentally). He's a ShellShockedVeteran, he's horrified by the creation of his Oxygen Destroyer, and he never intended its use as a weapon. Yet, he created a weapon by accident which severely damaged Tokyo Bay's ecosystem when he used it in the climax.** Godzilla's as much as a woobie as well. He survived a nuke, he is horribly disfigured (yes, some of Godzilla's facial close-ups look like radiation burns), hates lights, and really wants to be left alone. The footnote on the 2006 Classic Media book even calls them "innocent victims of the nuclear age".* UsefulNotes/WorldWarII: The aftermath of the Second World War weighs heavily on the film even in-universe: Daisuke is missing his eye and despises war so much due to being a ShellShockedVeteran, and is insulted when Ogata suggests he might be working with German scientists; a passenger on the train complains about the possibility of having to go to the bomb shelters ''again''; and a delegate at the conference elects to make Godzilla's existence secret due to international relations still being fragile.

'Sense' Or 'Impulse' (A Sonnet) - Poem by Rajesh Thankappan
Shall my 'impulse' steal a victory
Or shall discreet 'sense' march on to win?
This is not a brief story
But a prolonged struggle outwardly unseen.
Impulse reacts hastily to a stimulus
While sense aspires to predetermine the right route
In their struggle I find myself helpless;
As both combatants wants victory as their fruit.
But one thing let me now at this juncture say,
Never can 'sense' always prevail over 'impulse'
And another point which too is clear as a day
Is that never can 'sense' be altogether repulsed.
So, like a tossed up coin they both lose and win
Heads or tails, they are just like Siamese twins.
Comments about 'Sense' Or 'Impulse' (A Sonnet) by Rajesh Thankappan
Valsa George (7/4/2015 12:29:00 AM)
Sense and Impulse co habit in man like Siamese twins! One of the two cannot be totally exterminated! At times 'sense' predominates over impulse and vice versa! Those in whom sense predominates do less foolish things! That's the only difference! A very intelligent write, Rajesh. A 10 (Report) Reply

Great plugin! works just as described. I am wondering if there is any way to customize the results page to be in the form of a dynamic URL that is based on the search query.
Right now there is one results page "/advanced-search/" for example. I would love it if the results page URL could be based on the query such as "/restaurants/healthy/affordable/casual".
Any thoughts on how this might be done? The only way I can think to do it is by building individual category templates that query the exact results you are looking for. Not ideal of course...

50+: Live Better, Longer
Medications and Older Adults
In this article
Mary Parker of Oak Ridge, Tenn., is quick to joke about her health problems. Her vibrant smile and upbeat attitude belie her 78 years. But last year she had a health problem she didn't find amusing. The medication she took for her swollen sinuses left her so weak and dizzy she couldn't get out of bed.
"I felt like I wanted to die," she remembers. "It was awful."
Recommended Related to Healthy Seniors
Americans are living longer than ever before. And healthy seniors can look forward to many years of active life, thanks to the ability to repair or replace damaged joints, remove cataracts, treat heart problems, and other advances. But there's a downside. Because we are living longer, we're more likely to suffer from age-related memory loss and dementia such as Alzheimer's disease. For many seniors, dementia is the worst fear of old age. Research shows that the risk of some cognitive problems is...
Read the Healthy Body, Healthy Mind article > >
She learned an important lesson from the episode. She thinks twice before taking any medication, questions her doctors and pharmacists, and reviews all her medications regularly with her primary physician.
Parker's attitude is a good one for older adults to have, experts say. As people age, they often develop a number of problems taking medications. Being aware that problems may occur is the first way to minimize them.
"You are a partner in your health care," urges Madeline Feinberg, Pharm.D., a pharmacist and former director of the Elder Health program of the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy. "This is a partnership between you, your doctor, and your pharmacist. You need to be assertive and knowledgeable about the medications you take."
The Food and Drug Administration is working to make drugs safer for older adults, who consume a large share of the nation's medications. Adults over age 65 buy 30 percent of all prescription drugs and 40 percent of all over-the-counter drugs.
"Almost every drug that comes through FDA [for approval] has been examined for effects in the elderly," meaning people over 65, says Robert Temple, M.D., director of one of FDA's offices of drug evaluation. "If the manufacturer hasn't done a study that includes the elderly, we would usually ask for it."
More than 15 years ago, the agency established guidelines encouraging drug manufacturers to include more elderly patients in their studies of new drugs. FDA suggested that upper age limits for drugs be eliminated, and that even patients who had other health problems be allowed to participate if they are able. Also, drugs known to pass primarily through the liver and kidneys should be studied in patients with malfunctions of those organs. This has a direct benefit for older adults, who are more likely to have abnormalities of liver or kidney function and other illnesses.

Black ice causes truck accident, ink spill in Vt.The Associated Press | February 12,2013Vermont State Police say one lane is open on Route 78 in Alburgh where a tractor-trailer truck crashed on an icy road, spilling barrels carrying black ink.
Route 78 was closed shortly after the crash, reported about 2 a.m. Tuesday.
Police say one lane was re-opened at about 8:45 a.m., although it will be several hours before the crash is completely cleaned up.
Police say the driver hit black ice, causing the unit to spin, cross the double yellow line and travel off the shoulder. A load of 50-gallon barrels came out of the back of the trailer.
Police say the ink is inflammable.

Aims and objectives
To explore recent Singapore nursing graduates' experience of and views about their career development and progress.
The recruitment and retention of an adequate number of registered nurses is a continuing workforce issue in Singapore and other major cities.
Survey of recent nursing graduates.
Recent nursing graduates from the Bachelor programme (n = 147) were sent an individual survey; a response rate of 54% was achieved.
Findings show that nurses rated their self-concept in a positive manner and were most satisfied (moderately to very) with helping patients and providing effective care, and the level of patient involvement. They were least satisfied (moderately to only a little) with prestige among the general medical community and the general public, hours of work, lifestyle factors and research opportunities. The following four factors were identified as significant impediments to career development; lack of support in the work place; perceived insufficient clinical career development opportunities; excessive work hours; and limited access to merit-based places in further education.
Suggestions made to overcome perceived career development barriers are as follows: broad multifactorial healthcare system changes; decreased and more flexible working hours; and fairer access to further clinical and higher education.
Relevance to clinical practice
Results highlight the value clinical nurses place on having access to career development opportunities, merit-based further education and work place supports. These factors also have the potential to influence patient care and impact on the retention of nurses in their present job and satisfaction with their nursing career.

Historical Traveler Reviews Residence Inn by Marriott - Montreal Downtown
Great stay!
We had a great stay in at the Residence Inn in downtown Montreal. The rooms were very nice, and you can't beat the hot breakfast buffet! The staff was very friendly. Also, the candy and cookies for the hotel guests was a very nice touch.
Great stay
Great location close to metro. Healthy walk up to top of the lookout.
Laundry facility, pool and nice roof top patio. Lots of interesting restaurants and clubs within walking distance. Price was reasonable in April 2003. $125 per night US. this included a hot breakfast bar.
Overcourse the exhange rate is much worse a year later.
Excellent hotel
Stayed at this hotel from Jan.26/04-in the Feb2/04.The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable.The rooms were nicely decorated and very clean.Would recommend this hotel to anyone.two in the
Great Vacation!
We stayed at this hotel for ten nights at Christmas. It is a wonderful location between Sherbrooke and Catherine Streets and one block to the Peel Station and underground city. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Our one bedroon suite had everything we needed with a full kitchen and living room combination. The buffet breakfast was a great convenience and there are snacks at night during the week. The hotel has a nice laundry room, pool and exercise room. We encountered no problems using the three small elevators. We had a great time and would definitely stay at this hotel again.
Just fine
No complaints (and I'm pretty critical). A reliable choice for a very good price. Good location, convenient walking to lots of great restaurants, Place de Arts, 1 block from the Metro, short walk to Mont Royal Park, and fairly convenient walking to Old Town. Parking was about 3 levels below the building, so we just parked when we arrived and didn't use the car until we left. The free breakfast had plenty of choice.
Good hotel with a few problems
Have stayed in Residence Inn several times over the past two years. They have a free hot breakfast, clean rooms albeit a bit on the small side, tiny bathroom in studio, nice cozy lobby, pool is small but nice, could have been heated more. Negatives - last time I stayed, had to ask to be moved to better room-worn sofa, walls needed paint, etc. Reception desk gave a new room but was not very cheerful about it. Horribly small, slow elevators - used by cleaning staff all morning and partly in afternoon. But overall value good and location is great.
Very good value, Residence Inn-Montreal
Just returned this past week from my trip to Montreal and stayed at the Residence Inn downtown. It was ideally located within a block from the underground city and the metro. The hotel provided us with a clean mini-suite (kitchen, dining area, couch, bed and bath). Each morning, a good breakfast is provided, including hot foods at no additional cost. Monday to Thursday, a snack is provided from 5PM-7PM. We were there from July 26th to August 2nd and the weather was fantastic, in the 70's - 85 during the day and going down at night to 60. Was able to rent a car from Avis a few blocks away to take side trip to Quebec for the day. If you have never been to Europe, see Quebec.
Nice place, nice price
I spent a quick weekend (apr. 4-6, 2003) at the Residence Inn Montreal Downtown and had a fine stay. The hotel is in a great location, on Peel just off De Maissoneuve in the middle of fantastic Montreal. The lobby is quite small but nicely decorated. I had a studio queen room with a kitchen that was spotless, spacious and nicely furnished. The kitchen (even though you probably won't use it in cuisine-rich Montreal) features a stove, microwave, fridge and dishwasher. Bathrooms are small, but stocked with plenty of towels and amenities like soap and shampoo. THe hotel serves a decent breakfast buffet on its mezzanine level (though the huge breakfasts at EggSpectation are just a couple of blocks away)My only complaint is about the elevators - there are three of them in the 22-story hotel and they're really slow. Again, the location is incredible - less than 1/2 a block from the Peel metro station and a block and a half from the stores and carnival-like atmosphere of St. Catharine's street. Great restaurants ranging from French to Indian to Deli (smoked meat sandwiches) to steakhouses are all around.The Residence Inn, though lacking the extra frills (restaurants, room service) of your typical downtown hotels, is a fine place to stay in an incredible city. Oui!
Nice Place
We spent 5 days here. This place is perfect for families as each room has a full kitchen, and nice living area. Studio was fine for two, but 1 BR would be best for more than 2 people. Very much a business hotel, with nice staff. Includes free breakfast, afternoon snacks, and has a nice rooftop pool with small patio. Parking was $12 CDN per night. Quiet street in the heart of the business and shopping district just steps away from McGill Univ. and art attractions.
Excellent value
This hotel is very well planned. Bright spacious rooms, beautifully equipped kitchens, helpful staff, excellent complimentary breakfast and little snacks all day. The 23rd floor laundry and roof terrace were nice touches. We would definitely stay here again.

United Cerebral Palsy's children and adult programs are so appreciative of the Virtual Museum ArtBook. Children of all ages and abilities are able to experience art like never before. The ArtBook is visually, emotionally and intellectually stimulating for children and adults of all ages. Thank you Mark Lombard and Pompano Beach High School for this amazing gift. Pat Murphy, UCP Executive Director

I'm so grateful for this beautiful opportunity to be a part of. Mark Lombard is such a warm and compassionate man who has made it his mission to bring Art as a tool to open new dreams and inspire people, whom are not able to see art in museums. I'm so happy to be a new member of Dallas and this wonderful non-profit.

For Love & Art is a powerful experience for as a board member / volunteer and as a provider of a very positive experience to a very appreciative audience.
The art experience is a powerful engagement tool the lends itself to a crucial "conversation" between caregiver and the recipient.
I am proud to be associated with and helping to grow an organization that provides a much needed interactive experience that would otherwise be missed by many.
3 people found this review helpful
I have been working with this organization for a couple of years. It is a group that continues to change lives through the process of engaging conversation and human contact with art as the catalyst.
Each of us has or will be impacted in various life stages and either will know or be the beneficiary of this organization's endeavors.
The interest grows as our donor list grows - this is a very special group to be associated with.
More Feedback
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Simply continue expanding the reach to attract more benefactors to provide the service to more recipients.
Will you volunteer or donate to this organization beyond what is required of board members?
How much of an impact do you think this organization has?
Will you tell others about this organization?
When was your last experience with this nonprofit?

I would really like to Thank Mr.Mark Lombard and his Very Special Guest that he brings to the facility with him. My Residents get really excited to hear that he's coming. I've seen Residents in living room that usually will not participate in any activity, Mr. Mark really brings the Museum alive for them and they Love it. They leave talking about when is he coming back. Thank you Mark. Dottie Caldwell/Activity Director

For Love and Art is the ideal intersection of digital technology and ageless acts of kindness through the sharing of art.
3 people found this review helpful
The "For Love and Art" digital museum guide has been a much appreciated, easy to use tool for our Grace Hospice patient companions. Our patients can now escape into the vibrant gardens by Claude Monet and admire Edgar Degas ballerinas without ever leaving their bedside. This guide draws patient and caregivers attention away from their reality and instead allows them to focus on exploring various museums instead.

Christian Care Senior Living Community in Mesquite, Texas, is grateful for the Love and Passion that Mark Lombard and his volunteers have shared with our Assisted Living Residents. The attention that our residents give to the Art that is shared is breath taking and memorable. To listen to our residents ask questions about the art and share their life experiences with the group is very special. The Love of Art Discussion group has become a monthly event in our Assisted Living. Praying for this Community partnership to become a lifetime event for our Senior Residents. Sharing and Caring for the Love of Art is so very important to us all, no matter what the age.
Thank You, Cynthia Evans, Activities and Special Events for Bentley Assisted Living, Christian Care Senior Living Community, Mesquite, Texas

The For Love and Art book is extremely easy to use and captures the attention of the participant's we serve at Seasons Adult Day Health Services of Midland, MI. They enjoy going through each piece and discussing if they would "hang it on their wall" or not. Many of the pieces provoke strong feelings of like or dislike which is great! It gets them talking and socializing with their peers, demonstrating their personal taste and opinions. I would highly recommend this art book to any facility providing care for seniors with dementia. It is a great tool to use for 1:1 activities and provides a medium for new staff or volunteers to interact with someone with dementia. Thank you Mark!

The most important aspect of any museum is engaging the community. This program allows seniors and those with disabilities to also enjoy the finer and better things in life. I think this is a wonderful and much needed program that shows interest in maintaining the arts and compassion to the community.

For Love and Art has gifted many of the member hospices of the Texas Non Profit Hospice Alliance with these incredible art books. The passion, detail and professionalism and incredible generosity that FL&A brings to this project has allowed our non-profit hospices all across Texas to bring the transformational experience of art to the bedsides of those who can no longer visit a museum. This is an organization that has touched the lives and spirits of those at the end of life and made a true difference. Thank you For Love and Art!

What is a quick method to know if a website uses Java (e.g. in a Java applet).
One way would be to scan the source code of the page for clues, but I am looking for a quicker way. If possible, not a method that relies on a browser extension.
(I use Firefox, but hints for other browsers are welcome as well.)
PS: I am not interested in blocking Java or similar. I am just looking for a quick (but correct) indication if a page uses Java.

Quoting jeffs713:
You make some good observations...but the one I don't agree with is the 24-48 hour time frame. A disturbance/wave that is getting its act together takes a great deal of time to get going (24-48 or more hours), but a pre-existing tight circulation like this can get going again in a matter of hours if shear were to relax.
I'm not forecasting some massive restrengthening into a major hurricane or anything...but status quo near hurricane strength is certainly possible for at least as long as its over warm water.

According to the Spanish Secretary of State for Security, less than one out of every thousand tourists who visit Spain are victims of crime; a low figure which contributes to Spain's popularity as a safe and popular holiday destination.
That being said, this low crime doesn't console the unlucky few who do fall victim to petty thieves who take advantage of occasional lapses.
These unfortunate incidences usually mean having to go to the police and file a report, phone banks to cancel credit cards and contact local consulates or embassies to report stolen passports. This could mean hours spent at the local police station without a qualified translator and valuable holiday time wasted. Continue Reading →

Going from this…
to this…
is always a bit of a shock.
April 13, 2009 by djd
Sorry for your luck. But welcome back to your home! Hope you had a nice time.
(Don't feel bad. Everytime I go anyplace, that's what I return home, to, as well. UK & Ohio… the rainy/foggy/chilly thing all seems the same in both places.)
We did luck out with the weather in Istanbul ~ it was gorgeous!! It is particulary foggy here, though – and that's saying alot for the UK!!

The 29-year-old Fritz has been a regular starter for France since coach Philippe Saint-Andre took charge last year and has 34 caps to his name.
"Florian was involved in an accident while driving his motorbike and has either broken or dislocated his arm," Toulouse manager Guy Noves told a news conference.
"He will certainly be out for two months."
France, who finished bottom of the Six Nations in March, host England on February 1 and Italy the following weekend. They visit Wales on February 21, with Fritz likely to miss these first three matches.

Jay Z Shares "Songs For Survival" TIDAL Playlist
The recent wave of police shootings and ensuing protests inspired Jay Z to release a new single "Spiritual." He followed that up over the weekend with a 24-track playlist called "Songs for Survival."
The 10 Best Five Fingers Of Death Freestyles
Hearing Sway Calloway introduce his radio show's centerpiece, the "Five Fingers Of Death" challenge, is truly something to behold. Abruptly switching gears from his softer interview tone, he'll adopt an Ali-esque swagger and go off the top to hype up the segment, saying things like, "There ain't no smoke, there's no mirrors, this ain't Hollywood." It's theatrical, yes, but the challenge, which asks rappers to freestyle over five random (and often very eclectic) beats selected by DJ Wonder, is one of the most difficult in the industry.
Common Announces New Project
Common's been killing it in the acting game, though his name come back up in the rap world recently, when Drake might have sent a shot at him during a recent Nardwuar interview by confusing his Like Water for Chocolate album with Limp Bizkit's Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water.
Common Is Working On A New Album
Common hasn't popped up in the news, at least when it pertains to music, for a bit.
20 Hip Hop Artists Who Threw Out The Ceremonial First Pitch
The pitcher's mound is a stage, a very different stage from the one rappers and singers are accustomed to standing upon. The ceremonial first pitch is ostensibly a celebration, and throwing the ball 60 feet in a particular direction may not seem like much of a challenge. But much can go wrong. From Kendrick Lamar to Snoop Dogg to MC Hammer to 50 Cent (!), here are 20 hip hop artists who took the mound for the ceremonial first pitch.
10 Other Rappers Who've Visited The White House
Yesterday, we learned that Kendrick Lamar fulfilled a wish he's had ever since the "Bitch Don't Kill My Vibe" remix ("In the White House with a mink/Running through that bitch like it's my house," although he didn't seem to be wearing any fur at the time), paying a visit to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave as a guest of one of his biggest fans, President Obama. He and his crew were given a tour, hitting a rap squat along the way, and making for a pretty historic moment.
Photos: Nicki Minaj, Eve, & Common In "Barbershop: The Next Cut"
"Barbershop: The Next Cut," the first "Barbershop" film in 12 years, will be released on April 15, 2016. "Barbershop" is a classic film in its own right, "Barbershop 2" managed not to submarine the franchise, and now "Barbershop: TNC" is on the way, with Nicki Minaj, Eve, and Common joining Ice Cube and Cedric the Entertainer in the cast.
Common To Star In "John Wick 2"
Common's acting career is on fire right now. He's recently appeared in "Selma," "Run All Night," and AMC drama "Hell on Wheels," and he will appear in "Barbershop 3," "Suicide Squad," and NBC's upcoming production of "The Wiz." Now the Hollywood Reporter is reporting that the Chicago MC has been cast as the main villain opposite Keanu Reeves in the upcoming film "John Wick 2."
Common Weighs In On Drake & Serena Hooking Up
Back when the Common-Drake beef was happening, it was rumored that tennis player Serena Williams played a part-- she was coupled up with Common before the two parted ways, and then she reportedly linked up with Drizzy. Common later admitted that Serena was indeed the fueling factor, saying, "So unfortunately the war might have been over a girl, but at the time I never said that."
Drake & Serena Williams Rekindle The Flame?
"My Way" may have been the Fetty Wap song Drake chose to bless with a guest verse earlier this year, but it might have more accurate if he had chosen "Again." He was just spotted making out with tennis star Serena Williams in a Cincinnati restaurant, and if you'll recall from his beef with Common a few years back, this wasn't his first encounter with her.
Hip-Hop Albums That Represent Major Cities
Have you ever been listening to a hip-hop album from top to bottom and realized that every word, every beat and every cadence is an almost perfect representation of the city you're from? Have you ever taken a step back and noticed how much an album "sounds" like a very distinct place? That is the power of hip-hop albums; they serve as city soundtracks.
Talib Kweli, Common, Bun B, & More Putting On Michael Brown Benefit Show
Today marks the one year anniversary of Michael Brow's death at the hands of Office Darren Wilson in Ferguson, MO. As a part of the commemoration events today, Talib Kweli and his Action Support Committee are hosting a free concert called "Ferguson Is Everywhere" in St. Louis. In addition to Kweli, the lineup features Common, Bun B, M1 from Dead Prez, Rapsody, Tef Poe, Kendra Ross, Rebel Diaz, Jasiri X, Immortal Technique, & Pharoahe Monch.
Is G.O.O.D. Music A Good Label? 5 Artists Whose Careers Stalled While Signed
Reaching peak visibility during Kanye West's inescapable "G.O.O.D. Fridays" series that served as a prelude to 2010's My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, G.O.O.D. Music has since become one of the most revered labels in hip hop. Even if it's not nearly as prolific as other indies, most would still call you a fool if you turned down a chance to sign with Kanye, especially in the wake of recent successes like Dark Sky Paradise and My Name Is My Name.
10 Best Hip-Hop Crews Of All Time
The hip hop crew is an essential part of success. Whether big or small, every rapper has an entourage. Sometimes it's full of rappers, and other times it's just his buddies from back in the day, nonetheless, weak links in a crew can water down the crew as a whole-- something we took into consideration when crafting this list. You have the multimedia approach that Odd Future takes, and also the full-on lyrical assault that Wu-Tang Clan makes. Both are great crews, but who would comprise a list of the best rap crews of all time?
#TBT: Common's Classics
At this point, we really have to consider Common as one of the great MCs of all time. Rankings aside, the guys has had an insanely fruitful career: twenty-three years, a bunch of acting stints, and let's not forget the ten albums (a few of which, at least, are classics). It all started in 1992 with Can I Borrow A Dollar? The Chicago MC enlisted an unknown No I.D. to produce the 13-track LP, and it's definitely considered a classic.
6 Successful Crossover Rappers
It's often said "the grass is always greener on the other side." Hell, Ludacris has a track named after the phrase. Maybe that's why it seems as though everyone in Hollywood wants to be in the music industry and everybody in the music industry wants to be in Hollywood (I mean, Luda of all people would understand).
Classic Rotation: Common's "Be"
There are few artists who can make seriously great hip-hop albums that are captivating and cohesive for the entirety of their duration. However, those who do understand the medium do it really, really well, time and time again.

Common Joins The Cast Of "Suicide Squad"
It looks like Common is adding another movie to his already long list of acting gigs he's got lined up for this year. Just the other day we saw Common in the trailer for the film "Every Secret Thing", and now news is surfacing that he's going to be in the upcoming DC Comics movie, "Suicide Squad".

You don't come across many Goths who run their own accountancy practices. Meet 39-year-old Psyche Coderre, owner of London-based Death and Taxes, which provides accountancy services to small businesses ("alternative" and others). As Mark Williams finds out, not all accountants are boring
First things first... Psyche? "[Smiles] My name as a child was Jennifer, but when I was 16 I changed it," explains Psyche [pronounced Cy-key] Coderre. "It's from Ancient Greek mythology. Jennifer was so common when I was growing up and I hated Jenny and Jen so I thought I'd pick my own name."
Psyche was born in Boston, USA, in 1971. "As a child I lived all over the States. I did well in school, but particularly loved music. I took piano lessons from the age of five until I graduated high school." Her English father was a pharmaceutical engineer who became a self-employed consultant. Psyche's mother stayed at home to look after her three children. "I have two younger sisters ― one's a nurse and the other works in the hospitality industry."
Aged 17, Psyche discovered alternative music. "I loved British bands such as The Cure, The Psychedelic Furs, The Cult and Sisters of Mercy. Also, I liked the 'Goth' look."
Psyche majored in political science and journalism at the University of North Carolina. "After graduating in 1996, until 2002, I worked as a journalist in [Washington] DC. I started at a small weekly paper, before moving to a legislative newsletter publisher. From 1999 to 2002 I worked at Washingtonpost.com, during such major events as the 2000 election and 9/11. After Bush was elected, I fancied a complete change of scene."
In 2002 Psyche moved to London, a place where she's always felt at home. Psyche temped for a while, before taking a job as a housing finance officer at Eaves Housing for Women, where she started studying for her Association of Accounting Technicians qualification.
Her extra curricular activities included promoting Goth club nights and playing in Goth bands. In 2007 she joined Habinteg Housing Association, and still works there part time while building up her business, Death and Taxes, which she started in 2009. "I didn't want to go into management accounting and my appearance might have been an issue," Psyche admits. "I preferred financial accounting and tax work, and the idea of helping small businesses also appealed to me. Working for myself also meant I wouldn't have to face the London rush-hour."
Psyche's firm now has more than 40 small-business clients, most operating within the Goth/alternative scene. "My clients include tattoo artists, performers and promoters, but also people who aren't part of the scene." She doesn't wear full Goth make up during the day, but does wear black clothes and can't do much about her hair (even if she wanted to).
Not one to take herself too seriously, Psyche uses humour to market Death and Taxes. The business's logo is the Grim Reaper holding a calculator and the exclusively black and white website includes the strapline — Keeping You In The Black. "I take work seriously, obviously, but there's still a place for humour.
"My social and work lives do overlap and many of my clients are also friends, but that hasn't caused any issues. Being a Goth has brought me customers. I had enough initial interest from other Goths and alternative people to establish my business, and doing another job part time lessened the financial risk. I'd like to attract more customers and turn Death and Taxes into a full-time business and I'm confident I'll do that. People have really responded well to the idea of a unique accountancy practice and an accountant who doesn't fit the safe, boring and humourless accountant stereotype," she smiles.

Im reading "Core Python Programming 2nd Edition", They ask me to print a string, one character at a time using a "while" loop.
I know how the while loop works, but for some reason i can not come up with an idea how to do this. I've been looking around, and only see examples using for loops.
So what i have to do:
user gives input:
text = raw_input("Give some input: ")
I know how to read out each piece of data from an array, but i can't remember anything how to do it to a string.
Now all i need is working while-loop, that prints every character of the string, one at a time.
i guess i've to use len(text), but i'm not 100% sure how to use it in this problem.
Some help would be awsome! I'm sure this is a very simple issue, but for some reason i cannot come up with it!
Thx in advance! :)

Kate Bosworth in Wide Leg Cropped Flares
Kate Bosworth was photographed in New York City, in a pair of wide leg cropped flares. She paired them with a suede fringe jacket, and black Mary Jane flats.
Overall, I'm not totally sure what I think of this outfit, particularly the jeans. I think there's a bit too much going on and the slightly cropped length looks awkward. I think they'd look better cropped slightly more, so that they aren't too overwhelming to Kate's frame. What do you think of her look?
Images from INFdaily.com
Kate Bosworth in FRAME Le High Flare Dungarees in Eton Avenue
Kate Bosworth was spotted leaving her hotel in New York. The actress wore the FRAME Le High Flare Dungarees in Eton Avenue with sandals from her Matisse collaboration and finished her look off with a Thakoon bag.
I am not surprised to see Kate take on the '70s sense of these overalls full on with the styling and I actually think she carries it off really well. She somehow makes it feel modern, which I find is really hard to do with such a strong cut like these. What do you think of this look on Kate? Click here to purchase a similar style from NET-A-PORTER.
Kate Bosworth in a Vintage Wrangler Denim Shirt & MiH Jeans
Kate Bosworth was photographed while filling up her car with gas in LA. Kate wore a vintage Wrangler denim shirt with cactus embroidered on it, paired with a white tank top and MiH Bonn jeans in Bowie Sateen.
I love how intricate the details on this shirt are and how unique it is! We've seen Kate in a lot of denim shirts lately but I am surprised we haven't seen her in one from the Jacquie Aiche x Mother collaboration yet!
Kate Bosworth in a GUESS Boyfriend Denim Jacket in Picture Show
Kate Bosworth braved the rain here in Los Angeles, California while on her way to a meeting. The actress wore the GUESS Boyfriend Jacket in Picture Show with a dress layered over a t shirt. She then added some winter flare with a pair of shearling lined boots.
I find the pairing of this particular wash of the jacket with the floral printed dress to have a summer vibe, while the boots are season appropriate. Though a mix of pieces from different seasons, I find that it works well and has a very strong California attitude to it. You can click here to purchase this jacket ON SALE from the GUESS website for $45.

Campbellsville graduates
A total of 411 undergraduate and graduate students in three commencement ceremonies were recently given their diplomas. The 2015-16 academic year produced 642 Campbellsville University graduates including three local graduates:
Grand Jury Indictments June 2016
Daniel Baker, DOB 12/07/1975 — flagrant non-support
Jonathan Bowman, DOB 02/23/1979 — criminal mischief, first and criminal trespass, second
For the first time, Oldham County students got the chance to experience a national program that allows them to fire their imaginations and hone their engineering and technology skills when Camp Invention, open to students from first to sixth grade, came to St. Francis School in Goshen.
I'm from a small community like Oldham County.
I grew up reading the sports pages of the "Robertson County Times" in Springfield, Tennessee every Wednesday and at some point in high school I discovered that telling stories through sports was my calling.
Crowds of children came to the La Grange branch of the Oldham County Public Library to meet some furry and not so furry friends as the library welcomed Amazon John from Silly Safaris. Silly Safaris, an Indiana-based group that specializes in live animal education programs, presented two shows in the library's main branch on June 15.
What do boots without mates, Christmas trees, soda bottles and miles of fishing line have in common?
They are all items found in the Ohio River during River Sweep.
In a La Grange City Council meeting that lasted four and a half hours, city council members expressed dissatisfaction with city administration. The mayor also had to vote two times to break a 4-4 tie on two agenda items: the 2016-17 fiscal year budget and a new stormwater ordinance adoption.

From Our Editors
Since 2005, Doctor of Chiropractic Jay-P Fite has been intervening in spinal troubles with his tried-and-true methods of chiropractic correction. When treating headaches, neck pain, and lower-back pain—the predominant source of patient complaints and roller-coaster-technician daydreams—Dr. Fite relies on the diversified technique, which requires manual thrusts of troublesome vertebrae to urge them back into place. His Thompson-method adjustments, meanwhile, involve cradling patients on a specialized table comprised of adjustable spinal supports, which afford greater precision and comfort.

saturday night live - Page 7
'SNL' Preview: Zach Galifianakis Brings Pretty Nail Art to Studio 8H
May will no doubt prove to be one of 'SNL's' biggest months in years, with the recent announcements of alumni Kristen Wiig and 'Argo's' Ben Affleck to host, but this Saturday's all-new installment featuring 'The Hangover Part 3' star Zach Galifianakis and Of Monsters and Men will certainly kick things off right. Get a sneak peek of Galifianakis' third-time hosting inside!
Kim Kardashian May Appear With Kanye West on 'SNL'
Kanye West is a huge grab for 'Saturday Night Live,' but the show is notorious for skewering his future baby mama, Kim Kardashian. They were scared of making him angry with their parodies, but still wanted to see if he'd participate in some sketches.
A compromise? Having Kardashian appear with him on the show!
'SNL' Preview: May Brings Kristen Wiig, Ben Affleck and Kanye West!
Vince Vaughn's first 'SNL' hosting gig in over a decade might have felt a bit undercooked, something we're hoping two-time host and 'The Hangover Part 3' star Zach Galifianakis will fix in his May 4 outing, but it's the rest of 'SNL's' all-star May lineup that really brings the A game. Not only will beloved former cast member Kristen Wiig return to the 'SNL' stage for her first hosting gig, but so will Ben Affleck, with musical guest Kanye West! Preview 'SNL's' all-star May inside!
'The Voice' Spoofed on 'SNL'
Casey Battersix is quite the hot commodity on SNL's version of 'The Voice.' Buttersix, played by host Melissa McCarthy, is being fawned over by Adam Levine (Bill Hader), Usher (Jay Pharoah), Shakira (Kate McKinnon) and Blake Shelton (Jason Sudeikis) after a hilarious performance of 'Don't Mess With My Toot Toot.'
'SNL' Returns Melissa McCarthy as Host April 6
With plenty of buzz from this weekend's upcoming Justin Timberlake-hosted installment of 'SNL, the long-running sketch comedy series seems to have gotten the message to stick with its strongest players. Following the success of 'Identity Thief,' Melissa McCarthy will return to the 'SNL' stage for the second time in two years, hosting the April 6 installment, but who will join the 'Mike & Molly' star as musical guest?
'SNL' Preview: Justin Timberlake Forgot His "Suit & Tie"
While most would agree that this past weekend's 'SNL' host Kevin Hart did an admirable job picking up where 'Django Unchained' star Christoph Waltz left off, this weekend 'SNL' really pulls out the big guns tapping five-time guest Justin Timberlake as both host and musical guest. Expectations are sure to run high for the hour, so how does an old pro like JT fair in the promos for this weekend? Get a sneak peek of Justin Timberlake without his "Suit & Tie" inside!
'SNL' Taps Justin Timberlake as Host and Musical Guest March 9
Admittedly we'd been hazing 'SNL' of late for its emphasis on musical stars to host, namely Bruno Mars, Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine, and most recently the two-sided flop of Justin Bieber. Now, the original two-sided Justin has returned, as the long-running NBC sketch comedy series has tapped favored guest Justin Timberlake to both host and perform on March 9! Get the latest on Justin Timberlake's big 'SNL' return inside!
'SNL' Tackles the Stranded Carnival Cruise
One of the most talked about topics this past week was the stranded Carnival cruise ship that found itself simply floating along in the ocean without power, sanity, and toilets. Naturally, the story eventually found itself on the floor of studio 8H in Rockefeller Plaza -- home of 'Saturday Night Live.'
'Saturday Night Live' Review: "Justin Bieber"
SNL: Justin Bieber on the Miley Cyrus Show
If there's one thing that we learned from last night's Saturday Night Live, it's that Justin Bieber can't act. Like, at all. However, he can self-deprecate with the best of them, which is sometimes all you need to squeak by with hosting duties. Yesterday's episode also saw the return of The Miley Cyrus Show and Bieber got the play the head of her fan club...who really hates Justin Bieber. Watch it below!
Justin Bieber Pokes Fun at Pot Smoking, Beliebers and Himself on 'Saturday Night Live'
Justin Bieber hosted 'Saturday Night Live' last night (Feb. 9), in addition to serving as the musical guest. He said it best in the last sentence of his monologue: "We got a great show tonight -- I'm here." Amen to that. The best skit of the night was 'The Miley Cyrus Show' where he pretty much played a Belieber, only Cyrus was the object of his fandom. He also addressed the pot smoking incident, in which he sorta acknowledged that he did what we think he did.
