Why my calculation is showoing wrong?Asked by becca718 on November 08, 2016 at 01:12 PM
I have calculations on the in/cm field and they're not working. Can you help me figure out why?
JotForm Support
Thank you for contacting our support.
First, when you are using calculations with numbers make sure that all variables are number type, that means that all fiels have '0-9' next to them, like here:
You can switch between number and text by clicking them.
Second, since you are dividing at the end, you have to put all calculations before divider into brackets since divide calculation is older than all other calculations so, like this:
You see, all adds and multiplies are in brackets.
That should give you the correct result.
If you have additional questions do not hesitate to contact us.
Thank you!

THE Agricultural Wages Boardfor England and Wales has proposed introducing a new Wages Order that will push the minimumwage over £5 an hour for the first time.
Following a board meeting last month it's been agreed a new category of manual harvest worker should be introduced and holiday entitlement for farm workers will go up by one day.
The minimum rate for an adult standard worker should be increased from July 7 by about 4% from £4.91 per hour to £5.10 per hour with a further increase of about 1% to £5.15 per hour from 1 October 2003.
Flexible worker, young trainee and modern apprentice rates should rise in line with standard worker rates.
Craft grade rates should riseby about 4% to £6.02 per hour inJuly with no further increase inOctober.
Appointment grade I rates should rise by about 4% in July to £6.89per hour and appointment grade II rates should rise by the same percentage to £6.38 per hour.
But with both grades there will be no further increase in either rate in October.
A spokesman for the boardsaid that full details of the proposals could be obtained from the AWB Secretariat by telephoning 020 7238 5725.

You've undoubtedly heard by now that Steve Jobs has resigned as the CEO of Apple. Now, I don't think Steve Jobs is a god. I don't like his mock turtlenecks. I did not cry or get a lump in my throat when I head the news. For years I thought Macs were overrated and underpriced.
I do, however, love the new MacBook Air I bought last month. It's my first Mac, and in honor of Steve Jobs' departure from Apple, here's the story of how and why I went from Mac hater to Mac evangelist.
My family had a little Mac back in the early 90s, but since then my parents, my older siblings, and I have all been PC people. I bought my own first computer back sometime around 1998. All I remember was that it ran Windows 95, had a 133 mhz processor, and a 16x CD drive. The computer was FAST, man. It also was always having problems. It froze a lot. I managed to mess it up a lot. My brother would have to re-install Windows for me every few months.
I think it was around this time that Apple came out with its iMacs.
I thought they were the most ridiculous looking computers ever. Who would want a blue computer? And moreover, who would want a blue Apple computer? All my friends' families had computers, but I didn't know a single person who had an iMac.
When I moved overseas in 2001, my parents bought me a laptop. It was a Toshiba, and it was terrible. It would shut off at random moments and its various components took turns disintegrating.
It was around that time that the iPod came out. But I thought the thing was ridicuous. It was just so expensive and the MP3 players from the other brands were so much cheaper. What idiots buy iPods?, I wondered. I was very content with the generic Chinese MP3 player (with 128 megs of storage) that a friend gave me for my birthday.
My next computer was a Sony laptop. Sony laptops are more expensive and have a reputation for being quality machines. But even so, that computer was always having problems, too. The DVD drive gave out. The power cord wouldn't stay in the computer. The memory card reader stopped working. Windows Vista was painfully slow. I kept using the computer because although it didn't work well, it did still work, and I didn't want to buy a new one.
I hated computers. I loved the things I could do with computers, but I hated computers themselves.
Fast forward a few more years to the summer of 2010. My 10th MP3 player had just died and I was about to go on a road trip. I needed some tunes. Of course, by this time, everyone and their dog had an iPod. Frustrated and in a hurry, I bought an iPod Nano on a whim.
Well, it turned out to be far and away the best MP3 player I'd ever had. I love its design, I love how easy it is to use, I love all the things it does, and I love that it is still working! Not only did it do what it was supposed to do, but it did it perfectly. After using it every day for 14 months, it's still working perfectly.
Ok, so Apple wasn't all fluff and hype after all. At least, their iPods weren't.
While my iPod had been working perferctly, my Sony laptop was on its last legs. It was early summer 2011, and I was tired of it being slow, bloated, and crippled. I started looking for a replacement.
Still, buying an Apple laptop never crossed my mind. They're just so freaking expensive. I mean, why spend $1500 on a Mac when I could buy three equally-powered PC laptops for the same price? It was just stupid, and I poked fun at my Mac-toting friends. I was convinced they had been swept up by the power of Apple's marketing machine.
Though I wasn't ready for a Mac, I was willing to spend a chunk of change to get a higher-end PC laptop. After a lot of research, I ended up ordering a $900 Lenovo. I got it in the mail, started using it, and then… I started having problems with it that very first day. There were these volume control buttons above the keyboard, and when I'd type, the computer would act like I had pressed those buttons, even though I wasn't anywhere near them. I returned it, thoroughly frustrated. The plan then was just to use my Sony laptop until it died altogether, and then I'd return to trying to find a replacement.
Did that really just happen? I just bought an expensive computer from a company known for making high quality, dependable laptops… And it was having problems right out of the box. Ugh.
And then the new Macbook Airs came out a few weeks later, in July 2011. I had eyed the older model in Best Buy while looking at the Toshibas and Sonys, but had never given it a serious thought. I needed a real computer, not a toy. But as soon as I saw that the new ones had enough power and speed to do everything I needed, I bought one. It was $1800.
For that price I could have gotten four PC laptops with similar specs. But I realized that's like saying you could have 4 crappy marriages instead of 1 good one. I spend all day every day on my computer. I need it to be on my team, working with me. I need it to work. And I'd like to not hate looking at it.
My new MacBook Air is amazing. It's lightning fast. It's dead sexy. It's super light. The keyboard, screen, and touchpad are perfection. It's a joy to use. There is no barrier between me and what I'm doing on my computer. My computer now works with me and for me, not against me.
Going back and using a non-Apple laptop now feels… clunky.
So now I am a fan of Apple products. I could go on about iTunes, the App store, and lots of other things, but I won't. I'll never buy a PC again.
My family of PC users is also slowing switching sides (along with the rest of the world, it seems). My brother has a MacBook and a few iPods. My sister has an iPad and iPhone. My dad has an iPhone and an Airport Express.
People are buying, using, and loving Apple products because they work. They do exactly what they're supposed to do… perfectly.
Steve Jobs, I don't really care that you're leaving Apple. I think the company will be more or less the same and keep doing it's thing. But thanks for keeping the technology out of sight and out of mind, leaving me with no distractions apart from all the great possibilities in front of me.
- Do you own any Apple products?
- Are you happy with your current computer?
- Have Apple products ever let you down?
- What's your next computer purchase going to be?

I read with frustration the article in The Advocate that reported on the Oct. 19 Metro Council meeting to consider zoning changes.
I was one of the "dozens of residents" in attendance.
The reporter, Rebekah Allen, apparently either didn't listen to the meeting discussion or received all of her information from Sammy Nagem.
Reporting of this nature does nothing to help resolve this issue in our neighborhood.
Prompted by Councilwoman Tara Wicker's questions, I heard a discussion that clarified the original infill small planned unit development application, admitting that the proposed rezoning would add only 23 spaces — NOT 45, as the reporter asserts.
These 23 spaces would be carved out of a residential lot — that includes a house — at an angle that would seriously diminish its current value as a residence. The angle of the proposed plan would cut directly in front of the house and calls for an eight-foot fence. Would you buy a house with a fence installed outside the front window?
Also, the reporter states, "This would allow (Nagem) to provide a route behind the restaurant near Kimbro Drive, making it easier for patrons to enter and exit the business with their vehicles." That route already had been withdrawn before the council meeting, so I can't help wondering if Allen knows something we don't.
First, that "route" would be ON Kimbro Drive, which is, as my son says, "the littlest little street you could ever imagine," not "near" it, as Allen asserts.
Second, putting a restaurant/bar entrance/exit onto Kimbro Drive would significantly increase traffic, noise and danger. We have families with small children on our street, and none of us wants the increased safety concerns created by this new "route."
Finally, Allen chose to leave out a salient point: Though Nagem owns the property to be rezoned, he does not live there — a fact established at the meeting. Nagem and his family live in Monroe. The neighbors on Kimbro rarely have seen anyone in or even near the house since Nagem purchased it.
Residents in the Magnolia Woods area have been some of Nagem's staunchest supporters in the past.
Though he has pushed through previous zoning changes, we didn't challenge them, in part because we had no advance warning. This time, we must challenge his encroachment into the neighborhood because it directly affects our quality of life and property values.
We hope to come to an agreement that allows Nagem to make needed changes — changes required because of poor choices he has made — but Allen's article only exacerbates the dispute.

Saudi gets life term in Texas 'jihad' plot
A 22-year-old Saudi national was sentenced Nov. 13 in federal court in Texas to life in prison in his June conviction on charges of attempting to build a weapon of mass destruction.
Khalid Ali-M Aldawsari, a resident of Lubbock, Texas, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Donald E. Walter in federal court in Amarillo.
Aldawsari was convicted June 27 on an indictment charging one count of attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction in connection with his purchase of chemicals and equipment necessary to make an improvised explosive device (IED) and his research of potential U.S. targets, including persons and infrastructure.
Court records show that Aldawsari had listed two categories of targets: hydroelectric dams and nuclear power plants. He also sent himself an email titled "Tyrant's House," in which he listed the Dallas address for former President George W. Bush.
"Khalid Aldawsari came to this country intent on carrying out an attack," said Assistant Attorney General Lisa Monaco, who heads the Justice Department's National Security Division. "He then began purchasing ingredients to construct a bomb and was actively researching potential targets in America.
"Thanks to the hard work of many agents, analysts and prosecutors, his plot was thwarted before anyone was harmed. He was convicted at trial and, today at sentencing, he was held accountable for his actions," she said.
court documents and evidence presented during trial, Aldawsari had been researching online how to construct an IED using several chemicals as ingredients. He also had acquired or taken a substantial step toward acquiring most of the ingredients and equipment necessary to construct an IED, and he had conducted online research of several potential U.S. targets.
In addition, the documents show, he had described his desire for violent jihad and martyrdom in blog postings and a personal journal.
"This case, in which private citizens paid attention to details and notified authorities of their suspicions, serves as a reminder to all private citizens that we must always be observant and vigilant, as there are some who intend to cause great harm," said U.S. Attorney Sarah R. Saldana in Texas. "Khalid Aldawsari, acting as a lone wolf, may well have gone undetected were it not for the keen observations of private citizens."
The government presented evidence that on Feb. 1, 2011, a chemical supplier reported to the FBI a suspicious attempted purchase of concentrated phenol by a man identifying himself as Khalid Aldawsari. Phenol is a toxic chemical with legitimate uses, but can also be used to make the explosive trinitrophenol, also known as T.N.P., or picric acid.
Court records show that Aldawsari attempted to have the phenol order shipped to a freight company so it could be held for him there, but the freight company told Aldawsari the order had been returned to the supplier and called the police.
Later, according to the documents, Aldawsari falsely told the supplier he was associated with a university and wanted the phenol for "off-campus, personal research." Frustrated by questions being asked over his phenol order, Aldawsari canceled his order, placed an order with another company, and later emailed himself instructions for producing phenol.
In December 2010, he had successfully purchased concentrated nitric and sulfuric acids. Aldawsari also purchased many other items, including a hazmat suit, a soldering-iron kit, glass beakers and flasks, a stun gun, clocks and a battery tester.
Excerpts from a journal found at Aldawsari's residence indicated that he had been planning to commit a terrorist attack in the U.S. for years. One entry describes how Aldawsari sought and obtained a particular scholarship because it allowed him to come directly to the U.S. and helped him financially, which, he said, "will help tremendously in providing me with the support I need for jihad."
The entry continues: "And now, after mastering the English language, learning how to build explosives and continuous planning to target the infidel Americans, it is time for jihad."
Khalid Ali-M Aldawsari, 22, is escorted from the federal courthouse in Amarillo, Texas, after being sentenced to life in prison on a federal charge of attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction in a Lubbock, Texas-based bomb-making plot.

When a transplanted Canadian from the sunshine of Florida came to settle in DeSoto County, Leanne Nastasi decided what Old Towne Olive Branch needed was a spot to take a break, sip down a tasty hot coffee with a delicious sandwich or similar food item, all while enjoying conversation with friends and acquaintances in a warm, almost homey atmosphere.
That became the reason behind Pink's Coffee House, which has quickly become a popular landmark along the historic "Main Street" of the DeSoto County city over what is now more than three years in business.
Many residents, when looking for a spot to meet during the course of the day, quickly think of Pink's as their destination of choice.
Nastasi, a native of the Canadian province of Alberta, came to DeSoto County by way of Montreal, Quebec, where she met her future husband Michael while she was studying theology at the prestigious McGill University.
The couple settled in Florida, where Michael hails from, but they later moved to Olive Branch when he took a job with Interactive Solutions Inc., or ISI, an audio-visual company in Memphis.
Seeing a need for a coffee house similar to places she frequented in Montreal while in college and with an open location near their Olive Branch home, Nastasi started Pink's in a 112-year-old former lumber yard office on PIgeon Roost Road in the heart of Old Towne.
Nastasi said Old Towne was a locale she needed to invest in and a former computer repair shop became the perfect site for her.
""I really liked the eclectic nature of Montreal, with its neat little stores, coffee shops and restaurants," Nastasi said. "This spot became available and I knew the people renting it at the time. I couldn't figure out a better place around here that I could do it with."
The name "Pink's" sends a message but also describes what Nastasi hopes people will feel when they visit.
"My mother had breast cancer and my grandmother passed away from breast cancer," Nastasi said. "Pink is always associated with breast cancer. But we turned pink into a state of mind, like a healthy, happy, motivated state of mind. Being pink means you're going forward, you're getting healthy, you're getting better. Pink is great."
The reception of Pink's in Olive Branch has been above expectations, Nastasi said, a fact borne out by its staying power while others have disappeared.
"Since I've been here, there's about seven-or-eight food and beverage establishments that have come and gone in Old Towne, and that's sad to me," Nastasi said. "We've been adaptable. This isn't exactly what I opened up when I started, but we've tried to adapt to our customers."
One way Pink's adapts to its customer base is in the variety of activities one won't immediately connect with a coffee house.
"We have kids' cooking classes once a month. We have Lego Build Night Thursday evenings. We're starting up a kids' book club. I open my doors to any groups that want to have meetings, so we'll have a lot of Bible study groups that come in." One reason for the different activities for youngsters is the knowledge that there are few of those activities available to families without a large cost involved.
"I know that as a parent of young children, there's not as many options out there of things to do with your kids that don't cost an arm and a leg," Nastasi said. "So, it's nice to be able to come by here and take advantage of something, or just let them come down here and let them play while you sit down and have coffee."
Pink's is not your cookie-cutter place to eat, but they also serve cookies, along with soup, grilled cheese, chicken salad, breakfast, including breakfast pizza, hot cocoa and more. Birthday parties and tea parties are held at Pink's and visitors will also find decorative gift items and hangings on sale, as well.
Pink's Coffee House is located at 9120 Pigeon Roost Road in Olive Branch and may be reached at 662-420-7229.
Bob Bakken is Staff Writer and may be reached at 662-429-6397 ext. 240.

Window shades can add color and beauty to any room and also allow you to control the amount of natural lighting. Totally change the look and feel of any room within minutes without breaking the bank or your back. If you've never hung shades, it might seem like a complicated task; however, only a few simple steps are required.
Things You'll Need
- Tape measure (steel)
- Drill
- 1/16-inch drill bit
- Phillips head screwdriver
- Screws
- Wall anchors
Measuring for Window Shades
Determine the hanging location. To mount shades inside the window frame, you'll need at least 2 to 2 1/2 inches of depth for the shade to be completely inside the frame. For shades that hang outside the frame, measure the width of the window at the outside of the frame and round down to the nearest 1/8 inch. To increase privacy and get more lighting control, add 1 to 2 inches per side to close the gap. Measure length, from top of frame to window sill, or to the point that you want the blind to hang.
Take measurements at three points, for width and height, to ensure proper fit. Measure each corner and center for both directions, then use the largest measurement if they are not the same.
Measure each window to be covered, even if they appear to be uniform. Use these measurements to order or purchase the shades or blinds of your choice.
Hanging Your Window Shades
Mark the exact location where you want to hang the shade, using the mounting brackets. Use the tape measure to mark a line at the location on each side of the frame, or above the frame if mounting outside, to ensure that the brackets will be even. Place the bracket even with the line, then mark the screw holes to indicate where you will need to drill.
Pre-drill the holes for the brackets, if mounting in brick or hard wood. If you are mounting on drywall, use wall anchors to secure the brackets.
Attach the brackets, making sure that the appropriate side is up, to hang the shade correctly. Roller shades use one notched bracket and one round pin bracket. Follow the instructions for your type of shade for accurate hanging directions.
Slide the shade into the brackets. For roller shades, place the pin into the bracket with the hole, then slide the bar into the slotted bracket. Check that the spring action is tight enough. If not, remove the shade, reroll and hang again until it is working properly.
Tips & Warnings
- Allow 1/8 inch between brackets and the roller shade to allow for proper operation.

This is the next main station along the line from Tryfan Junction and opened in August 2000 when the section from Dinas to here opened. Some of the flower beds were originally looked after by Antur Waunfawr, a charity offering employment and training opportunities for people with learning disabilities, however, it eventually came under the care of the Joint Landscaping Group until the Autumn of 2015.
The station consists of an island platform with a high level footbridge linking it to the car park and pub on one side of the railway and some camping fields and the campsite's toilet block on the other. There are a number of flower beds in the island platform as seen below together with a station building.
Until recently Waunfawr had been looked after by Howard Stuckey doing the various maintenance jobs need such as the annual pressure washing of the steps and walkway of the station footbridge. Unfortunately he's unable to give it the care and attention needed, and with this being a very high profile station, it is currently in urgent need of an individual or group to care for it.

It's a pity this movie failed at the box office, because in my opinion,
it's really good. It combines combines the classic dystopic sci-fi
future with a scorched Earth, a few heroes struggling against enigmatic
aliens and a corrupt military force, action style sequences that are at
times quite intense, and the typical slow-paced Asian movie
storytelling. Add to this a rich amount of influences from the FF
games, including eight mysterious spirits that must be found in time or
the heroine will succumb, as well as a lot of mythological references
that must be taken for granted rather than analysed to bits if the
viewer is to find any pleasure in this film.
The trouble is that the FF video game fans wanted a story based on the games, or on their particular favourite in the series, and were disappointed with both the story, the setting and the characters. The average sci-fi movie fan, though, who ought to have loved the wicked general (excellently voice-cast by James Woods) and his huge space cannon, as well as the 'Aliens' styled surroundings and technology, was put off by all the talk about spirits and world souls. Leaving for a few of us who went to see the film with no real expectations, to enjoy it.
Because it is a good film. The animation is, for the most part, excellent, even if some scenes have a too blatant 'look what we can do' boast to them. Particularly all the scenes of Aki's hair waving in the wind. Personally, I didn't think the story was either too slow-paced, nor too weird. It works well, especially if you like Asian movies. For the European and American market, though, there's probably not enough action and too much talking.
If this movie had been released this year, it would probably have been given a better reception. The thought of fully computer animated films isn't as new and strange anymore, and with films like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, The Ring and Hero, the west is opening up for the Asian way of telling stories. I hope to see more films like this, at least if they are this well made. 9/10
I don't know why nearly all the critics bashed this film. I thought it
was great! The main reasons people have dogged it is because they don't
follow the plot and they don't think the animation looks real enough.
I did not have any problem following the plot. The second word in "Final Fantasy" is a description of the type of movie this is. It deals with the supernatural. The spirits, or "essences" of earth are gathered to fight the alien gaia, as the arms and weapons used against the alien spirits are ineffective and in fact destructive.
This movie introduced me to the concept of the gaia, which I believe is a great metaphor for understanding how all life on earth shares a common spirit. I don't truly believe there is a gaia, and you don't need to either to enjoy this film. But perhaps some found that this conflicted too much with their beliefs.
Now as far as the animation, this is the most realistic portrayal of human characters to date generated by a computer. If you watch some anime films, where there is a lot of action, they will show a frame for a long time with only the mouths moving. People enjoy these animations. Then why is this movie criticized so heavily for not looking real enough? It's rather ironic. You should watch this movie expecting an animation, not a full-feature film with real actors.
One explanation for this reaction is that, like figures in a wax museum, characters that look too real but are not creep us out because they remind us of dead people. But perhaps this is fitting for this movie, because the soul of the earth is sick and life on the planet is reaching its end.
In any case, I enjoyed this movie, and I liked the message. If you like animation and enjoy a good fantasy story, you will like this movie.
A superb film - I'm so very glad that I ignored those who condemned this. I
bought it on the recently released 2 DVD set (which in itself is worthy of
purchase even if you didn't like the film - simply loads of extras,
commentary tracks, etc).
I loved the overall 'feel' of this movie - it invokes a sense of wonder in me that few films have managed to achieve. It goes without saying that visually (and aurally) the movie is a feast, but more than that it is a movie for the soul.
Ignore those that don't like it - inevitably they simply didn't understand it. It IS a convoluted (but ultimately simple) plot and you need to pay attention, but if you do so you will be well rewarded.
Definitely a movie to be savored.
Wow, I guess there is SOME hope for video game adaptations. While not a
direct translation of the Final Fantasy video game franchise, it is
written by the series creator, whose name I cannot remember. On top of
that, his video game company branched off into a film company (Square
Pictures) just to go and make this movie. At least one can't complain
about the handling of the material.
But the big question here is: Do these guys know anything about film-making? Maybe. Maybe not. Truth be told, they don't need to. The beauty of this movie is that it does something new. It blends the world of video game technology and storytelling with the art of film-making. It cuts corners on film-making, but its uniqueness makes up for it. I will admit that I'm a gamer, so I appreciate what was attempted here. What we get out of this movie is an impressive display of what animators and video game technology can do together. I know there are other CGI movies out there, but, unless I am mistaken, they have all followed the over-the-top cartoony path. This is where Final Fantasy stands out. The animation is swelling with reality. From a technical standpoint, this is a gem, and a reason at the least to give it a rent.
The storyline is subject to much scrutiny though. It's not for everybody. This IS a film of Japanese origin, so anime fans will be right at home with it. For the mainstream audience, however, that remains to be decided. Although the script was revised to suit North American localization (and done very well might I add), it still is very Japanese in style, albeit with a bit less surrealism. It's fast-paced and a bit abstract at times, but it is coherent.
In the end, I would say that one should rent this just to see the technological achievement at the least. It's safe to say that all would agree with that point. Depending on the person, you may get into the storyline as well. Either way, you'll walk away with at least part of you satisfied.
This film is a dream come true for any science fiction fan. Unfortunately,
this film was not as popular as it truly deserved to be. It shows how
powerful the media can be when it comes to squelching a foreign (in this
case Japanese) film. It is by far the best computer animation ever to be
shown. If only the American computer animators could be this good! I was
really sorry they took the film out of the theaters so soon... before the
general public had a chance to really enjoy this film on the wide
I never played the computer game, and knew nothing about it. I was
drawn to this film because of the bold animations, but didn't expect
the film to do anything for me beyond simple entertainment. I was
pleasantly surprised. The excellent voice talent and stunning animation
allow Final Fantasy to drawn you in just as well as a live-action
version would have. It is very easy to forget that the characters you
are watching are animations, and the action is CGI.
A meteor has struck the earth, carrying with it phantoms who strip away the life energy of whomever they contact. Dr. Aki Ross and her mentor Dr. Ced are locked in a stand-off against the earth's military forces, whose solution to this invasion may be worse than the invasion itself, and the mysterious phantoms who seem to have no specific purpose and can not be fought using conventional means. Following up on a quasi-mystical theory of Dr. Ced, they set out to collect 8 living spirits which must be used to harness the life force of earth itself in defense of the planet.
This film is dark and beautiful, with each scene a masterpiece of animated art. It feels less like a computer game than an immersive experience in an alternative universe.
A fast-paced action film, Final Fantasy blends elements of folklore, science and animated battle sequences into a satisfying, well balanced and well paced film. It is probably the most thoughtful computer game -inspired film I have seen.
Just to clear up a couple of points:-
a) This is a FILM, not a computer game. b) CGI people don't look or move exactly like real people. That stated, Aki Ross is still a more convincing character than ANYONE played by Keanu Reeves.
Final Fantasy is misnamed; there's little about the story that is "final", nor is it especially fantastic, but what it IS is a pretty decent mystical-science fiction (no, NOT "sci-fi" space opera) yarn. Possibly owing to the real inability to successfully portray facial expressions in the CGI characters, the mood throughout is sombre and hard... so rather more like real life than your average Hollywood space-opera swashbuckler. Frankly, because this story actually tries to make a POINT, it probably disappoints the type of viewer who would like a film like "Aliens". The overriding message is simply that brute force is no use without understanding, and that's a timeless message that many cultures would do well to think about.
And, of course, this film is just BEAUTIFUL. Probably best watched while tripping on acid, if the truth be told.
7/10 and a future classic, as far as I'm concerned. This film will be remembered long after things like "Starship Troopers" have been forgotten.
I've waited for this one for quite a while, as have most of Square's fans.
There is a lot riding on this film, including the future direction of CG in
movies, the proud heritage of a name brand, and the chance to release a
worthwhile movie during a string of bad summer flicks. So, does Final
Fantasy live up to it's hype?
First, the bad. No, it has nothing to do with the games other than name, but then the majority of the storylines of the games had nothing to do with each other, either. The plot is not necessarily original, with marauding aliens nearly vanquishing humanity while a desperate band of outsiders hold the key to winning (tired sci-fi, to be sure) and even the animation has it's faults, mostly with the mouth movements and a few emotions lacking, as the eyes and lips, and even hair had detail but no-one's cheeks or throats moved, giving the characters a bit of a puppetry feel at times. The movement of humans in CG is still not quite fluid, but getting much better. Also, the movie slows down considerably during the last twenty or thirty minutes, which is perhaps necessary for the plot, but the change in pace was notable, even with the awe that the movie's end was aspiring too.
But enough nit-picking.
The Good. The imagery in this movie is startling, imaginative, complex, even awesome at times. It's amazing that while the machines, vehicles, and mechanics in the movie are so realistic and detailed, so too are the organic forms such as the alien presence (sometimes seemingly more fluidly animated than the humans!) and the incredible landscapes. It is obvious how much imagination went in to so many aspects of this movie. The soundtrack, while not exceptional, is very complimentary and captures the dark feel with the fast action and triumphant climaxes. The characters were distinct, like-able, and voiced very well (even if the digital mouths don't quite match up most of the time). The emotional scenes, while certainly not perfect and a bit awkward, should be given grand credit for achieving the level they do convey. If you let yourself go, it's not impossible to be entranced by all that this movie actually manages to pull off. If nothing else, then the effects alone are worth seeing, if the somewhat hokey spiritual elements of the plot turn you off. (If you consider the Force to be hokey, don't bother.)
The Surprising. Well, I was a bit put off by the simplistic way the characters would look at each situation and then spell it out to the audience, though there is more to the plot than casual sci-fi fare. Because of this, the dialogue was a bit goofy at times, but at least it usually fit the characters. But every good thing you've heard about the quality of the CG work in this movie is true- it really is a site to behold, if nothing else than for the effects. As I mentioned earlier, if you consider how much this movie is trying to do, it's amazing that it pulled off everything nearly as well as it does.
So, I think that most will be pleased, some will critique it heavily on the negatives and not be as impressed, but the bottom line is that it is definitely worth seeing. Quality work in most areas, even story and screenplay in my opinion (though that's certainly the most debatable point.) I left the theater without being disappointed, something I cannot say for the majority of cinema fare.
For a movie based on a video game, Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within was
very good. Next to such atrocities as Tomb Raider and Street Fighter, it
positively shines, and when compared to the complete gibberish known as
Super Mario Bros. Movie...
Having said that, Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within could have been A Lot Better.
If you paid attention to the Final Fantasy games, to any of the hype surrounding the movie, or to the CGI industry in general, you already know the computer animation for this movie is far-and-away the best ever done. Back when Square first started producing the movie in 1998, they were progressing at a rate of about one second of film PER DAY, because of the immense quality of the graphics, and none of that quality was lost as technology caught up and time passed. The backdops are jaw-dropping and the CGI actors look more real than some actual actors. Really simply, Square declared itself the current king of CGI animation. Pixar, Dreamworks, move over--the studio that cut its teeth on PlayStation games is in the house.
Unfortunately, having been a fan of the Final Fantasy games since it first sprouted on the original Nintendo, I'm a little jaded towards visual grandeur. And when you take that away, there isn't much left.
The plot is pretty standard--Earth is a wasteland; most of Terra's population has been wiped out by the unexpected invasion of mostly-invisible aliens called Phantoms. The remaining Earthlings struggle to survive. Aki Ross (the main character) and Dr. Cid (there's been a character named Cid in EVERY Final Fantasy production since 1991) have isolated eight Earthborn Spirits--not ghosts, but tangible lifeforms; one of them is a plant, and don't ask me how the plant has a spirit--that, if combined, can wipe the Phantoms off the planet entirely. With the help of Captain Grey Edwards and his crack band of soldiers, the Deep Eyes (Final Fantasy also has a knack for weird names--I mean, who came up with 'Premium Heart'?), Aki sets off to find, capture and use those eight Spirits. And then finally there's General Hein, a megalomaniac fellow who's just trying to blow everything up using a a very large gun.
No problem there. Anyone who plays Final Fantasy is used to Fetch Quests (in which the main characters perform a service to a ruler, generally retrieving a stolen object of enormous power, in return for help from that ruler). What I want to complain about are the characters themselves.
They are FLAT.
A lot of them die, and we don't miss them except that they don't speak any more lines. Grey and Aki (male and female lead) don't really evolve over the course of the story--and Cid is just there to provide technobabble. Oh, and by the way, there's almost no 'fantasy' elements in this movie, with the sole exception of the Spirits.
My two favorite games in the Final Fantasy series are numbers Eight and Ten. They are my favorites because they have unique, interesting, convincing characters. True, most Final Fantasy games take 40 hours or more to play, giving the writers a lot of time to flesh the characters out, but generally within the first five minutes of being introduced to a character (sometimes within the first few SECONDS, as with Zell and Kimahri) you know most or all there is to know about them--they are already convincing, already realized in the player's mind. Square's GOOD at doing that sort of thing.
If Square had bothered to invent real characters for Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within, the movie would have SOARED. As it is, it just barely limps along under the power of a few snappy lines of dialogue and a lot of pretty vistas.
It's worth seeing once, for the same reason any museum is worth visiting once--you'll get to see things you've never seen before and may not see again. But if you're like me and prefer your movies to have interesting characters and plotlines, be prepared for a disappointment.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
This movie isn't a paramount to the 7th art but it certainly broke some new
ground. I expected a lot in the animation department and I was pleased with
what I saw. Being based on a video game prepped me for a rather
unconventional and perhaps lame plot.
Firstly, the animation: the use of realistic CG characters by this movie is good, most of the movement of the animated people was very good except for a bit of problems with speaking and expressions, you can also tell that the animators learned how to make the characters walk as they made the movie, the walk during the first 20 minutes (especially at the beginning) is noticeably stiff. It gets better as the movie wears on though. The detail level of vehicles and scenery is superb, you can even see dust falling as the light streams in a window, this gives you an idea of how detailed it can be.
Second: story line, not too original, while not the best sci fi out there by a long shot, it still has a decent if somewhat complex story line which is hard to follow at times. It borrows heavily from typical anime plots (with the biblical and mythological references, the mystic stuff and so on) however what else can you expect. The ending is typical of anime so it seems that the animators and writers themselves still regarded this as animation and weren't trying to make it a true movie. It also borrows from well tried elements like the military commander bent of the use of force over logic, but as an animation it sure eats up disney's childish plots.
Summing up, this movie is worth watching for the animation, a second watching will also probably clear up some things in the plot, it gives a good idea as to what to expect from future animation and sets a new standard. I came out of the theater with a sensation of money well spent and I'll probably watch it again, not my favorite of all time but certainly decent.

text: BOSTON ( TheStreet) -- After a 7% plunge in equities last week, investors are fearful of what the Standard & Poor's downgrade of U.S. debt will mean for stocks come Monday.Unfortunately, the outlook is grim if one dusts Friday's trading session for clues. U.S. stock indices rallied more than 1% at the start of trading Friday on a better-than-expected July employment report, retracing some of the 5% loss from Thursday. Stocks fell anew, however, on market chatter that S&P was planning to announce a downgrade of its triple-A rating on U.S. debt after the closing bell. After briefly topping 11,550, the Dow Jones Industrial Average gave up its gains and fell as low as 11,150 shortly before midday, a swing of more than 400 points in less than three hours. Stocks ultimately ended the day mixed, but if Friday's early swoon is any indication, Monday's trading session will see plenty of red. Matthew Rubin, director of investment strategy with Neuberger Berman, says that investors may not have priced in the full extent of an S&P downgrade. > > Bull or Bear? Vote in Our Poll "We could wake up on Monday morning and see the futures down precipitously, but I want to believe some of this was priced into the market," Rubin said by phone Friday after the S&P announced its decision to cut the rating on U.S. debt to double-A-plus from the coveted triple-A rating. Jeffrey Sica, president and chief investment officer of Morristown, N.J.-based Sica Wealth Management, says that investors are not caught completely surprised by the downgrade, yet he still expects a "substantial selloff" in equities on Monday as market participants begin to understand the ramifications of the first downgrade of U.S. debt in history. "We maintained the triple-A rating through the Great Depression and all the wars and recessions, so you have to believe it's going to concern people," Sica said by phone late Saturday. Investors were bracing for a downgrade all week, but "there will be a lot of fear and worry," he adds. A late Friday downgrade announcement by the S&P was a premeditated move that was designed to allow investors to digest the news. >> Keep the stock market at your fingertips with TheStreet's iPad app.

By ROBERTA SMITH
Published: December 5, 1986
THE Lucio Fontana exhibition takes up both the fourth- and the ninth-floor spaces of the Marisa del Re Gallery at 41 East 57th Street. On view through Dec. 24, this show is far from perfect, but it whets the appetite for a more extensive look at the artist and it is very timely. Fontana was one of several European and American artists who, during the 1950's, extended and subverted the ideas of Abstract Expressionism and Tachism in the direction of a greater reality, thereby helping to set the stage for the art of the second half of this century. Fontana's colleagues in this endeavor included Jasper Johns, Robert Rauschenberg, Cy Twombly, Joseph Beuys and Yves Klein.
Fontana, who died in 1968, may not be as great as most of the aforementioned. Like Klein, he spent a great deal of time teetering between a flamboyant radicality and irredeemable tackiness. His bright idea for heightening painting's reality was to violate the picture plane with small nail holes, rough-edged gouges and, finally, crisp, clean razor cuts. But while he worked this rather simplistic signatory device for all it was worth, he also coaxed a rather amazing range of expression from within its limits.
This exhibition covers both the high and low points of his efforts. Among the latter are a couple of hot pink canvases - an egg-shaped tondo riddled with tiny rips and hilariously titled ''The End of God,'' as well as a square canvas with a single centered hole that gives the intermittent violence of Fontana's approach a definite misogynist tone.
The hard-edged Minimalist ''slash'' paintings for which Fontana is best known in this country look especially monotonous here. They are brittle distillations, from the end of his career, of an idea already too simple to begin with. Still, ''Spatial Concept, the Trinity,'' a big white triptych from 1966 in which fields of nail holes flank a spiral, connects to the more evocative Minimalism of Robert Ryman and Agnes Martin and is one of the best works on view.
Ultimately, Fontana's production divides into two groups: those paintings in which the cuts and slashes are the works' iconoclastic raison d'etre and those in which they are clearly just another kind of mark making -startling at first, but also visually convincing, and usually mixed in with various modes of paint application, sgraffito and occasional glued-on bits of colored stone.
In the small untitled canvas from 1953, Fontana used round and square nails of different sizes to create a little cosmos of stars as sweet and complete as any of Paul Klee's or Joan Miro's. In the 1957 ''Spatial Concept,'' a round yellow shape, in brushy pastel, is pinned to a brown background by a series of nail holes that continually flip back and forth before our eyes, reading first as punctures, then as little black dots of paint.
The same visual flipping operates in the much blunter yellow-on-yellow ''Spatial Concept'' of 1959. Here, a galaxy of little cuts reflects Fontana's irreverent destructiveness and his elegant draftsmanship in equal parts and we grasp most directly his ability to balance creation with desecration.
It is this duality - blatant, unapologetic and full of its own delights -that holds the attention. It enables Fontana's art to simultaneously move back in time toward pre-World War II European paintings and forward toward Arte Pover, Process and Performance Art, and it guarantees him his small but definite place in history. Also of interest this week: Francesco Clemente (Sperone Westwater, 142 Greene Street): Francesco Clemente works in many different media, but he's best when he unleashes his considerable painterly abilities and narrative instincts on relatively lightweight materials: pastel, fresco, drawing and now the monotype. Under the collective title ''Two Garlands,'' Clemente is exhibiting 88 monotypes made last spring and summer in New York. They are all the same size; they all feature the artist's self-portrait centered on the image's bottom edge; and they line the walls at Sperone Westwater like so many bonbons - relentless, irresistible, perhaps a little oversweet.
Exquisitely colored, with the ink drawn, wiped and brushed on via an array of techniques as impressive as they are nonchalant, they vary considerably in quality. Some are actually quite ordinary. But just when you think you can't look at another one, Clemente transcends the dreamlike indolence that often seems to be the central subject of his art, and delivers the goods.
Like Lucas Samaras, only perhaps more so, Clemente seems obsessed with his own image and with bringing an intense artifice - hotly decorative and sexually charged - to these images. He is the central, and by now familiar, persona drifting in and out of his art. Here, he portrays himself thinking or dreaming these various motifs, perhaps more directly than ever before.
Thus, from monotype to monotype, we see Clemente ''thinking'' about India, about the landscape, about poetry or sex, about finger painting or pure color. His head supports the world, or a pair of lovers who are attracting a swarm of bees as well as each other against a ground of wonderfully deep yellow. His face is surrounded by orange teardrops set in a field of orange-tainted chartreuse. It is the end of a long wipe of green ink that folds in upon itself like someone's intestines.

The integration gives IT security managers unprecedented visibility of and control over the security of real-time business communications using converged IP networks. Now security managers can block threats and enforce policies on voice-over-IP, IP videoconferencing, SIP trunks, collaboration tools, Cloud-based communications and other real-time applications.
To highlight this breakthrough integration, Sipera and McAfee will present a free webinar on June 28 to showcase security considerations for enterprises that are adopting VoIP, SIP trunks and related Unified Communications (UC) applications.
Sipera's products are network devices that provide comprehensive security and application-layer control for real-time UC applications and SIP trunks. As a complement to the existing security architecture, the UC-Sec provides application-layer firewalling, intrusion prevention, threat mitigation, access control and policy enforcement in real-time for delay sensitive applications. Sipera's solutions enable enterprises to migrate mission-critical business communications to converged IP networks, SIP trunks, and Cloud-based service applications without increasing security risk or violating compliance rules.
The McAfee ePO platform lets enterprises and governments centrally manage security and compliance products from multiple vendors, offering cost savings and return on investment. With more than 40,000 organizations managing over 60 million PCs and servers, this unique platform is helping McAfee Security Innovation Alliance partners to extend their reach and create complementary functionality.
The Sipera security systems were compatibility tested within the McAfee Security Innovation Alliance program, which helps accelerate the development of interoperable security products and simplifies the integration of these products within complex customer environments.
"Real-time business communications applications such as voice and video conferencing have migrated to converged IP network. Now the security functions of that network must adapt to these new applications," said Adam Boone, Vice President of Marketing and Product Management for Sipera Systems. "Together, the McAfee ePO security management platform and Sipera's groundbreaking VoIP and UC security solutions enable security managers to see and control the security posture of these real-time applications for the first time."
"We're pleased that the Sipera Systems UC-Sec enterprise communications security solution has been deemed a McAfee Compatible solution with the McAfee ePO platform," said Ed Barry, vice president of the Security Innovation Alliance, McAfee. "Our joint solution ensures that real-time applications such as VoIP, video conferencing, and collaboration tools can be monitored and tracked via McAfee ePO dashboards, thus providing administrators greater control and nimbleness in a cost-effective manner."

From her Academy Award-nominated screenplays to her best-selling fiction and essays, Nora Ephron is one of America's most gifted, prolific, and versatile writers. In this classic collection of magazine articles, Ephron does what she does best: embrace American culture with love, cynicism, and unmatched wit. From tracking down the beginnings of the self-help movement to dressing down the fashion world's most powerful publication to capturing a glimpse of a legendary movie in the making, these timeless pieces tap into our enduring obsessions with celebrity, food, romance, clothes, entertainment, and sex. Whether casting her ingenious eye on renowned director Mike Nichols, Cosmopolitan magazine founder Helen Gurley Brown - or herself, as she chronicles her own beauty makeover - Ephron deftly weaves her journalistic skill with the intimate style of an essayist and the incomparable talent of a great storyteller.
©1971 Nora Ephron (P)2012 Random House Audio
"Always entertaining"
These early magazine articles aren't earth shattering, but Ephron knows that and tells you in the preface. They are of their time and a precursor of the quick wit and razor sharp style of the more mature woman. Make sure you get "Crazy Salad and Scribble, Scribble", as it's full of the more mature Ephron's work, and fascinating insight into the early days of Women's Liberation.
"Not my favorite Nora Ephron"
A few good stories in here but overall felt a little dated in terms of subjects in the various pieces.
"Not for me."
I had higher expectations for this book and so I am disappointed. I don't find her writing has anything with wit or punch. I also found the material to be dated.
Nora Ephron not a favorite of mine as I now know from trying this audiobook. I gave up about half way through.
Narration was fine. I found the content lacking.
I won't be bothering with Nora Ephron again.
"I love Nora Ephron and had high hopes dashed!"
Yes, I loved Nora Ephron's other books.
The stories were all from the 60's and 70's and I found them hard to follow. They were not interesting either. I kept thinking, what is this about?
I guess so.
They are stories and overall not very interesting ones.
Overall, maybe 1 or 2 stories were of interest, the others were boring and very unfamiliar, not sure who they are for.
"Nora Ephron at her best"
I haven't read the print version
Very articulate and funny. Lots of interesting subjects too

Leaders around the world increasingly recognize that GDP alone cannot give a full picture of a country's performance. The well-being of citizens is an even more important measure. The Boston Consulting Group's Sustainable Economic Development Assessment (SEDA) is a powerful diagnostic designed to provide government leaders with a perspective onhow effectively their countries convert wealth, as measured by income levels, into well-being. But while the public sector is increasingly focused on well-being and how to enhance living standards, it has not been clear what role there is—if any—for the private sector.
Our research shows that the private sector can make crucial contributions to well-being. When scalable, sustainable solutions to social challenges emerge, we often see the private sector playing a central role. Such efforts go beyond corporations' support for social or environmental causes that are unrelated to their primary business—often part of corporate social responsibility initiatives. Rather, companies can innovate within their core business models in a way that not only enhances shareholder value but also helps address important societal challenges.

New York Post – These Experts Are Saving 'Married At First Sight'
In three seasons of "Married at First Sight," the reality show matched nine pairs of strangers to meet at the altar and wed, but only two of those couples remain together today. So for Season 4, premiering Tuesday (8 p.m. on FYI), the show is calling in reinforcements.
New matchmaking specialists — relationship expert Rachel DeAlto and marriage counselor and pastor Calvin Roberson — are joining the sole returning expert, sociologist Pepper Schwartz, in an attempt to improve the show's track record with six new singles in Miami. As for what's been dooming the marriages since Season 1, Schwartz sees two main factors at fault.
First, she says the experts couldn't predict how individuals would react under the pressure of an arranged marriage — pressure that in some cases revealed hidden character traits. (One could see Season 2's Ryan De Nino and his temper falling into this category.)

The PC Magazine iPhone
You can do far more than adding applications and hacking iTunes once your phone connects to your PC. Motorola phones have an area of flash memory called a seem that lets you customize options for everything from how many calls appear on the recent-calls list to which options appear on main menus. Twiddling individual bits in the seem turns features on and off, but it's easy to wreck your phone if you're not using a reliable guide.
Several seem editors let you hack the features on your phone; we like P2Ktools (available from the Russian-language Web site p2ktools.motofan.ru), which has convenient check boxes for popular features. Lists of editable seems are available on sites such as howardforums.com. Remember, always back up the existing data (with a program such as P2Ktools) before you start editing your phone's features.
