Beyond Cinema - Issue 11, 2016: READY. SET. GO!
Continuing its festival run through 2016 (following successful debuts at the Venice Film Festival and at Sundance), The Fits is being released in the U.S. by Oscilloscope in June. We sat down with the film's writer/director Anna Rose Holmer and her young and impressive newcomer Royalty Hightower at the AFCI/Beyond Cinema Studio at Sundance.
The film is about a young boxer whose day-to-day dreams transition from the masculine environment of her brother and their boxing gym to a desire to belong to her school's strong, socially savvy dance team. Lensed beautifully in Cincinnati, Ohio, the film presents its world with a balance of cinematic energy and a starkness befitting a town in the midst of a health scare. Though the film is a fictional tale, the audience's knowledge of the contemporaneous and newsworthy water scare in Flint, Michigan is never far from mind, and ground the film's fantastical elements with a disturbing dose of reality.
Beyond Cinema: Anna, Royalty, how'd the two of you find each other?
Anna Rose Holmer: I found Royalty's dance team, the Q-Kidz from Cincinnati, on YouTube. I decided really early on that I wanted to cast a team for the film, so I went to Cincinnati to do our first round of auditions. Actually, our age [minimum] was 11, and Royalty was 9. Her friend asked if 9 year olds can try out and I was like, "Sure." I wanted everyone to experience the audition, and Royalty was the eighth girl that we saw read. You want to take it from there? What do you think about me?
Royalty: I was scared at first when I went in there. I just answered the questions to the best that I could, and we actually did improv with a partner. So, that was fun and the next day, they called my mom, but I don't know why because we didn't have practice that day. They said they wanted me to come to the studio and they told me that I had the role… it was exciting.
Anna: When I met Royalty, I asked her what kind of movie she likes, and she was like, "Chuckie. Chuckie's my favorite movie." I was like, "Okay. [Laughter] I can work with this kid. I think she's into movies."
There are some elements in this film that are dark and mysterious too.
Anna: Yeah. I knew she could go there.
And the crisis in Flint, Michigan is now adding a heightened element of water awareness.
Anna: I wish it weren't an added element, what's happening with Flint is pretty horrific, and that they were ignored so long by the government is atrocious. For me, the water was always a throw away in this script – there was no political intention behind that. Unfortunately, there's a reality now that connects them, but I know the Q-Kidz in Cincinnati have been doing water drives, and bringing water up to Flint and so they're doing what they can.
It's great that it's adding social-impact involvement to the film now that there is this relatable issue that's happening nearby. Interesting, too, because your previous feature was a documentary – tell us about the switch over to narrative.
Anna: Yeah, also, for me, the crossover was coming in and meeting real people, listening and involving them in making a community effort. I couldn't have made this film without the West End community in Cincinnati, and the Q-Kidz especially were so generous with their time. It's like a sisterhood, and that was a big part of it. I lived there for 9 weeks total during prep and production, and they're my family for life
Have you shown them the film? Did you show them a cut?
Anna: Yeah, we did a big screening, we rented out an AMC in Kentucky, right over across the border and showed the girls. It was like the most emotional for me. I don't know how it was for you.
Royalty: It was exciting because the first time I saw it, it was just me, my mom, and Miss Anna there. It was exciting because I sat next to my friends, we're just watching the movie, and everybody loved it.
Anna: The screen curved around, it was so big, they'd bumped us up to their largest cineplex. It was crazy. At the end of the film, all the girls who were in the film, which was 45 girls, they were all doing the chants along with it. I cry a lot, so I was crying – it was a very powerful screening.
There's such an absence of adults in the movie. So having a group of kids watching it – it's them being represented back to them without other authoritarian voices dictating the conversation. Let's talk about the issue of diversity, which is such a big part of the culture conversation right now. Women Make Movies got behind the film, Kasi Lemmons is in the credits, can you talk a little bit about how that community came together.
Anna: From the beginning - I co-wrote it with two other woman, and we are really different types of women, from really different types of background, so we were just trying to find that Venn diagram of that moment in girlhood that we all connected to. And we've just had incredible partners along the whole way, we did a lab with the [Sundance] Institute, my editor Celia Davis and I had the privilege to go up to the resort. And we had a bunch of different advisors – Lee Percy – who is an editor, who edited Boys Don't Cry, was our key mentor. Kasi Lemmons was also up there, it was so amazing to connect with her. And Jurnee [Smollett-Bell] came to our screening in Salt Lake City – and she'd been about Royalty's age when she was in [Kasi Lemmons's] Eve's Bayou, so that was a cool little circle.
Cinereach also came on as a supporter, and they support such diverse content, and really encourage artists from all backgrounds to take big risks – I think the non-profit world is ahead of the game in terms of putting money on the table for diverse filmmakers, and we're just really grateful for the support.
And the images of Cincinnati. Royalty, It must've been interesting seeing places you're so familiar with represented in different ways as part of the film. Is the empty swimming pool still there?
Anna: It's empty again, but we went back for pick up shoots, and I was like, "Oh, right, the pool is a pool. It was full of water." But the Q-Kidz really practiced at the community center at the time, and pretty much the whole movie was shot in that one building.
The Cincinnati Film Commission has a credit at the end of the film--
Anna: We were a micro-budget film, so we fell below the state incentive but they were so supportive and they want independent filmmakers to come, so they helped connect us with production support and a locations scout. A lot of our crew had just worked on [Don Cheadle's film] Miles Ahead, and on Carol; It's a very small film community that's so supportive. I would go back to Cincinnati and shoot again. I loved it there.
USA TODAY claims the Dustin Hoffman-Tom Cruise buddy-brothers movie "Rain Man put Cincinnati on Hollywood's map" – though the film shot in multiple locations, and originally slated for production in Chicago, Rain Man was based in Cincinnati for about four weeks. Key locations (Pompilio's restaurant and the St. Anne Convent, though accessible from Cincinnati, are actually located across the Ohio River in Kentucky). Their childhood home is in the East Walnut Hills area of Cincinnati, and the airport scene takes place in the Cincinnati-Northern Kentucky International Airport. Tom Cruise was only 26 years old when he shot the film.
The Ohio State Reformatory in Mansfield, Ohio, closed for business in 1990, making it perfectly suited for filming as the Shawshank State Prison in the Morgan Freeman-Tim Robbins juggernaut. The location was also used for Tango & Cash, and Air Force One. The notes for the $12 tour of the facility note: "See the office of the Prison Warden from Shawshank Redemption, the Parole Board Room and Andy Dufresne's escape tunnel."
Worldwide gross on Marvel's The Avengers eclipsed a massive $1.5 billion! The film moved around the state a little, reportedly touching down in Cleveland, Cincinnati, Wilmington, Fairborn and Parma. The NASA facility at Plum Brook in Sandusky, Ohio, stands in as SHIELD headquarters, and was utilized for a number of Loki moments; another key sequence was shot in the viaduct beneath the Detroit Superior Bridge. Cleveland's downtown buildings feature throughout (often juxtaposed in post-production with New York landmarks).
In this epic DeNiro, Streep, Walken classic, the deer hunting scenes took place in the state of Washington, and Thailand stepped in for Vietnam, but much of the fictional steel town of "Clairton" was in Ohio - Welch's Bar (since demolished) was in the old steel mill town of Mingo Junction, Ohio, and many scenes were shot in and around Cleveland. The wedding's Russian Orthodox-style cathedral is in the Tremont area of Cleveland, at 733 Starkweather Ave.
This Mexican drug war film that landed an Oscar for Benicio del Toro had multiple storylines and took place in a combination of Mexico, Southern California, Texas, New Mexico, Washington D.C and Ohio. In the film, Michael Douglas's on-screen character resides in the affluent suburb of Indian Hill (part of the Greater Cincinnati) but the house used for the scenes is actually in Hyde Park in that same city.
Additional fact: Our cover hero, John Legend, was born John Roger Stephens on December 28, 1978, in Springfield, Ohio.

Salt, Healthy? Why It Might No Longer Be Public Enemy No. 1
For decades, we've been told to eat less salt for lower blood pressure—but could this advice be harming, rather than helping, our health?
The idea that eating less salt can worsen health outcomes may sound bizarre, but it's not new. A 1972 paper published in the New England Journal of Medicine reported that the less salt people ate, the higher their levels of renin, a substance secreted by the kidneys, which set off a physiological cascade of events that seemed to end with an increased risk of heart disease. In this scenario: Eat less salt, secrete more renin, get heart disease, and then die prematurely.
Four years ago, Italian researchers began publishing the results from a series of clinical trials, all of which reported that, among patients with heart failure, reducing salt consumption increased the risk of dying prematurely. Other recent studies suggest that reducing sodium to anything like what government policy refers to as a "safe upper limit" (one teaspoon a day if you're healthy) is likely to do more harm than good. These studies, which covered some 100,000 people in more than 30 countries, showed that salt consumption is remarkably consistent—about one and a half teaspoons a day—among populations over time. This suggests that how much salt we eat is determined by physiological demands, not diet choices. And a handful of these studies—involving type 1 diabetics, type 2 diabetics, healthy Europeans, and patients with chronic heart failure—reported that the people eating salt at the lower limit of normal were more likely to have heart disease than those eating smack in the middle of the normal range. Effectively what the 1972 paper on the salt-renin connection would have predicted.
Proponents of the eat-less-salt campaign tend to deal with this contradictory evidence by implying that anyone raising it is a shill for the food industry (which has been widely criticized for adding salt to processed foods to improve taste) and doesn't care about saving lives. An NIH administrator told me back in 1998 that to publicly question the science on salt was to play into the hands of the food industry.
When several agencies, including the Department of Agriculture and the Food and Drug Administration, held a hearing last November to discuss how to go about getting Americans to eat less salt (as opposed to whether or not we should eat less salt), these anti-salt proponents argued that the latest reports suggesting damage from lower-salt diets should simply be ignored. According to cardiologist Graham MacGregor, MD, who has been promoting low-salt diets since the 1980s, the studies were no more than "a minor irritation that causes us a bit of aggravation."
This attitude that studies that go against prevailing beliefs should be ignored on the basis that, well, they go against prevailing beliefs, has been the norm for the anti-salt campaign for decades. Maybe now the prevailing beliefs should be changed.
Next: Who's right? The other side of the salt shaker.
Thanks! You're on our list.
And about to get a whole lot healthier.

The interior of the Dallara truck in the IndyCar paddock doesn't look much like the headquarters of a powerful villain - it's light, orderly and welcoming, with a small but potent espresso machine taking pride of place in the back office. Darth Vader never had an espresso machine.
But based on comments from some of the team owners in recent weeks, this white trailer is the Death Star, and its planet-obliterating laser is targeted directly at them. Or, more precisely, their budgets. The Italian constructor has been hailed for hitting all its targets with the DW12 chassis in delivering a car that is both better and cheaper than its predecessor, but those initial savings came with a caveat...
In the past, teams could build or source many spare parts independently, a scenario that supported an entire cottage industry within the American motorsport scene. Now, teams must buy those parts from Dallara, and at prices significantly higher than they had been paying previously. As well as being catastrophic for the small suppliers that had previously served the series, teams say that it has pushed their running costs to the point of being unsustainable.

The owners have joined forces to demand a 40 per cent reduction in costs. But progress in finding a solution has been slow over a number of meetings with the series.

Research in Engineering and Aviation
Investigation of improved aerodynamic performance of isolated airfoils using CIRCLE method
Ahmed, M.U., Avital, E.J., Korakianitis, T.
"Investigation of improved aerodynamic performance of isolated airfoils using CIRCLE method". Procedia Engineering, 56, pp. 560-567. 2013. DOI: 10.1016/j.proeng.2013.03.160
The PresCrIbed suRface Curvature distribution bLade dEsign (CIRCLE) method, proposed by T Korakianitis, is a direct method for designing (or redesigning) high efficiency turbomachinery and fan blades, and isolated airfoils. It was initially introduced to improve the design of high efficiency turbomachinery blades. It is now extended for use with 2D and 3D turbomachinery blades and isolated airfoils. The connection of the profile's leading edge (LE) to the trailing edge (TE), on both sides, is defined using continuity in the surface curvature and its derivatives. Improvements to the aerodynamic performance of the Eppler airfoil are presented in this paper. Improved geometries with continuous curvature have been produced using the CIRCLE method. The performances of Eppler and the redesigned A5 and A6 have been studied using CFD analysis. They are analyzed considering low subsonic flow condition (Reynolds number∼105). These are compared to a previous airfoil A4. The redesigned blades' LE proved favorable as they succeeded in removing pressure 'spikes' on the suction side. Comparative analysis with the original results showed significant aerodynamic improvements. Airfoils A4, A5 and A6 have comparatively thicker TE section compared to Eppler. Despite the changes made to the geometry and continuous curvature distribution in A4, A5 and A6 (from Eppler), there appear a separated region on the suction side at about 60% of the chord downstream from the LE. The new blades exhibit higher aerodynamic efficiencies, in terms of overall lift-to-drag ratio up to 40% than the original. The investigations are performed at on and off design conditions.

Odisha Government provides 50% reservation to women in Panchayat Raj Institutions
It's really a very nice gift for the women on International Women's Day that, the Odisha State Government today approved a proposal to increase reservation for women to 50 percent in panchayats.
President Pratibha Patil's announcement of the 100-days agenda of the government in June had mentioned the intent to provide fifty percent reservation for women in Panchayats.
Article 243(D) of the Constitution to enhance reservation for women in panchayats at all tiers from the current one-third to at least 50 per cent. The 73rd and 74th Constitutional Amendments have accorded Indian women a scope for political representation.
At present, out of the total elected representatives of panchayats, approximately 28.1 lakhs, 36.87 per cent are women. With the proposed constitutional amendment, the number of elected women representatives is expected to rise to more than 14 lakhs.
According to the agenda panchayat samiti chairman would be work as the deputy chairman of the block level advisory committees of the Food and Supplies department.
States like Bihar, Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh have already implemented 50 per cent quota for women in the panchayati raj institutions.

It is important to note that Sandberg is cautious in her speech about women in the workforce, making it known that it is ultimately up to the women themselves if and how they are to remain in the workforce. This is an important factor to consider, and Sandberg knows that very well.

A Candy Buffet is the ideal centre piece for any special occasion or corporate event offering a visual impact to delight guests of all ages.
Candy buffets are a great way to add an extra element of fun to your wedding day, if done correctly they can enhance the decor of your reception and to be totally honest what happy couple doesn't want to make their wedding even better. Candy Buffets have certainly captured the imagination of couples getting married. Perhaps it is simply the fun nature of candy that brings their guests back to their childhood. People simply love candy! They love the nostalgia.
We are totally convinced that most couples have considered doing their own Candy Buffet or asked a family member or friend to undertake the task for them. The harsh reality it's not as simple as buying a few container of sweets hoping it will create the impression your special occasion deserves.
Buying a sufficient range of candy and display accessories such as glassware, mirrors, fabrics and lighting would cost more than using a professional service who also have the experience of staging a candy buffet.

Pet Sitting in Your Home
Having your pets cared for at home is an excellent alternative to taking them to a kennel. Animals are happiest in their environment, and we can provide the love and attention that they crave while you're away. Cats, in particular, do much better at home than in an unfamiliar place. Also, we can check up on your house, collect mail, water plants, and give your home a "lived-in" look.
Prior to scheduling any service, we set up a free appointment with you at your house to meet you in person, and meet your pets to talk about your needs. We can do complete house sitting, including taking out the trash, watering plants, bringing in the mail, or whatever you need, and are happy to look after any kind of animals you have, birds, rabbits, gerbils, etc. House sitting services are included in the price of a visit. Depending on the number or type of animals you have, and/or the duties you'd like us to take care of, we may recommend minimum amounts of time for the visits.
Length of Visit Per Visit 15 minutes $17 30 minutes $19 45 minutes $24 1 hour $28

Please anyone can let know that whether Tax Audit is applicable to Partnership firm having loss in the F.Y. 2013-14??
Details :
A Partnership firm carrying a manufacturing business is having a turnover less than Rs. 1 crores. A firm is having Loss of Rs. 4,00,000/- ( Approx.)..
Firm has not provided Interest & remuneration to Patners.
Should I go for Tax Audit?
Please Advise... urgent..
Posted 3 years ago by Sagar Aslekar
In your case first refer the section 44ABof Income Tax Act, 1961. Section 44AB mendates the tax audit in case, turnover cross the 1 crore rs.
However another section that comes in picture is section 44AD. As per section 44AD, if the turnover is less than 1crore and declared profit is less than 8%, Tax audit is mendatory.
However you have to also refer the point 5 of section 44AD. Point 5 of section 44AD is presented here for your reference:
(5) Notwithstanding anything contained in the foregoing provisions of this section, an eligible assessee who claims that his profits and gains from the eligible business are lower than the profits and gains specified in sub-section (1) and whose total income exceeds the maximum amount which is not chargeable to income-tax, shall be required to keep and maintain such books of account and other documents as required under sub-section (2) of section 44AA and get them audited and furnish a report of such audit as required under section 44AB.
From above point we can understand that in case your total income is in negative you need not to undergo tax audit.
As in your case partnership firm made loss, Tax audit is not applicable.
Posted 3 years ago by CA Pulkit Sharma
Thanx for giving me reference Pulkit.
Please also tell me that as I am going to Carry Forward my Loss of the Firm, Does it will make any difference if I don't opt for Tax Audit?
i.e. If I don't go for Tax Audit , Then Can I take Benifit of My c/f Loss in the next year??
Please Advise
Posted 2 years, 12 months ago by Sagar Aslekar
Yes subject to your compliance with the other conditions attached to carry forward options.

Our former goalkeeper, who was in the USA squad for the 1990, 1998, 2002 and 2006 tournaments, is looking forward to visiting Brazil next week to experience the showpiece competition from an altogether different perspective.
Since retiring from playing in 2011, the former Seattle Sounders star has gone into broadcasting.
And, having swapped his goalkeeping gloves for a microphone and a set of headphones, he's ready to sample world football's most prestigious event from the press box for the first time.
"In some ways I'm busier now than I was when I played," admitted 44-year-old Kasey, who in addition to his media work revealed his passion for snowboarding in a recent interview with e-Hotspur magazine.
"It's going to be interesting to see the World Cup from this perspective and I'm excited.
"I'm covering eight games in the first round and then I'll be doing studio work in between so I'm going to have a very busy World Cup!"

GHPL WRAP: WAFA show grit to maintain lofty standards while Kotoko left restless again
The soccer Academicians, WAFA defeated Liberty Professionals 2-1 to make it 7 consecutive wins in the league.
Togolese international Komlan Agbegniedan scored both goals for the league leaders. Liberty's consolation was scored by Samuel Sarfo.
The win increases WAFA's point tally to 29, 3 ahead of Aduana Stars who couldn't hold on to a 1-0 first half lead away at out of form Asante Kotoko.
The Porcupine Warriors are without a win in 7 games. A change of coach is yet to change the fortune of the club.
Aduana took the lead in Kumasi through Sam Adams in the 20th minute. Kotoko were awarded a ppenalty kick 4 minutes after going down but striker Kwame Boateng wasted the spot kick.
Three minutes after recess Abbas Mohammed sent home a sweet free-kick to draw Kotoko level. The result means Kotoko have shared spoil in all of their last four home games.
Bolga All stars and Accra Hearts Of Oaks sold out a six goal thriller in Tamale. The hero of the day was Alhassan Rahim who scored a brace for the debutant to overturn a 2-1 deficit to a 3-2 lead only for Ivorian national Alexander Kouassi to tie the scores for Heart with 15 minutes to full time.
Ashanti Gold under new coach C.K Akonnor drew 1 all at home to Medeama SC. Bernard Ofori scored for the away side Medeama and Prince Owusu scored for Ashanti Gold.
The game involving Elmina Sharks and Inter Allies ended in a barren draw, same as Bechem United's home game against Ebusua Dwarfs
At the Golden City Park, Alfred Okai Quaye's strike did fetch Berekum Chelsea all three points versus Wa Allstars.
Great Olympics lost 2-1 at the Tema Park to Tema Youth. Abel Manomey pulled Olympics leveled in the first half after going down to a Malik Antri goal. The 'Dade Boys' couldn't hold on in the 2nd half allowing James Akaminko to snatch a winner for the Tema club.

Delta Air Lines takes delivery of the most capable A330-300 ever builtPrint
In a delivery ceremony that took place on May 28, Delta Air Lines became the first airline to take delivery of the most capable A330-300 ever produced. This newest variant of the A330 commenced its certification flight testing in mid-January this year. Following a 12-week, 100 hour flight-test campaign, it achieved certification from the European airworthiness authorities (EASA) on April 1 and received parallel certification from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) earlier this month.
Several improvements have been made to this latest version of the A330:
- An increased take-off weight of 242 tonnes (533,500 pounds)
- Minor aerodynamic improvements to Slat 1 and the flap track fairings
- An optional fuel capacity boost which is achieved by the activation of the center fuel tank
Compared with the previous 235 tonne version – this newest enhancement offers more payload capability at lower operating cost, with a range extended by up to 500 nautical miles and with up to 2% lower fuel consumption. This translates into the capability to fly a typical load of 300 passengers and their baggage up to 6,100nm. To date, 11 customers have ordered 41 units of this highest take-off weight version of the A330.
For Delta Air Lines, this 242 tonne version will be joining an existing fleet of 32 A330 Family aircraft – a mix of 11 smaller capacity A330-200s and 21 larger capacity A330-300s. "Delta's addition of this Airbus A330-300 marks a major milestone and reflects our continued strategy of making prudent investments in our fleet that enhance our customer experience and operational reliability," said Delta President Ed Bastian from the delivery event.
Delta is also the launch customer for the A330neo (new engine option) which will further improve the A330's range and economic efficiency when it enters service with the airline in 2017.
A true favorite with passengers, the A330 remains the preferred choice for over 100 airlines worldwide who continue to benefit from its proven and unrivalled low operating costs. Total sales of the A330 have surpassed the 1,500 mark – a testament to the continuing popularity of this flexible, reliable and economically efficient twin-aisle twin.

Jotul is one of the oldest manufacturers of solid fuel burning appliances, producing cast-iron, wood and coal stoves since 1853. The vintage Jotul 8 Series included four cast-iron, wood-burning heater models. The largest heater is 30.5 inches in height by 26.5 inches. The mid-sized units were constructed in 28-inch or 29-inch heights by 25 inches wide. The smallest unit comes in a 25-inch height by 26.5-inch length. These heaters produce between 26,000 and 33,000 BTU's of heat per hour, and they are still viable and safe furnace units today with proper installation.
Fireplace Components
Each of the four Jotul 8 Series stoves was designed with four legs, a bottom heat shield, an ash and log retainer, an ash lip and a flue outlet. Stove legs should be bolted to a non-combustible floor surface with hex bolts. The Jotul 8 stove should be placed 8 inches from walls on all sides, leaving an 18-inch space in front, between the furnace unit and any furniture.
Compatible Chimneys
The Jotul 8 wood burning stoves were engineered for proper use with masonry brick, or block, mortar chimneys and residential prefabricated metal chimneys. The Jotul 8 is compatible with prefabricated metal chimneys with a traditional installation through the ceiling and roof, or chimneys that horizontally run out and up along the outside of the building or residence.
Chimney Connectors
The temperature of the Jotul 8 Series fireplace surface can exceed 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit, making proper chimney connection critical for safe usage. The chimney connector should be a steel pipe or flue, 6 inches in diameter, with a minimum 24-inch gauge thickness. Aluminum and galvanized steel pipes should never be used as they are not designed to withstand these high temperatures and can produce harmful toxic gases.
Fireplace Materials
The Jotul 8 furnace units produce the best results when dry firewood is burned for heat. Damp or wet wood can be used, but it reduces the amount of heat produced. While Jotul produces coal-burning stoves, the Jotul 8 Series was designed for wood. Never burn coal, garbage, cardboard, solvents, treated or painted wood, colored paper or chemicals in the Jotul 8 fireplace.

"First Day of School' by 1812 Productions
Dan Rottenberg
Right off the bat, Billy Aronson's The First Day of School delivers an original perception: Today's hovering "helicopter parents" feel so traumatized about sending their kids to school that many of them take the entire first day off from work or chores, lest any contingencies arise. Once they've assured themselves— usually in the first five minutes— that their kids are safely ensconced with old schoolmates and an amenable teacher, the parents find themselves with unexpected time on their hands.
What to do? David (Pete Pryor) and his wife Susan (Karen Peakes) ponder their options: They could visit the Art Museum… go to a movie…. or "We could try having sex with other people," David suggests brightly.
With that, we are off on a rollicking sex farce in which David and Susan attempt to seduce their similarly idle fellow parents. The underlying gag here is that David and Susan are neither squeamish nor secretive about their proposed activity, but everyone they approach assumes they must be. When David and Susan ask, "So would you like to have sex with me?" in the middle of a conversation about schoolteachers, they do so as if they're arranging a play date for their kids.
Beyond Shakespeare
To some extent David and Susan function like Alice in Wonderland here: They're an ordinary couple making an outlandish proposition to three outlandish characters who are desperately trying to pretend they're ordinary. In each case the proposed seduction triggers a long and hilarious monologue that takes Shakespeare's "Methinks the lady doth protest too much" to extremes the Bard never imagined.
When Susan offers herself to the awkward Peter (Chris Faith), he rejects her immediately but refuses to drop the subject, rambling on for five minutes about his refusal to betray his wife and children, even if they never found out. ("Kids are sensitive. They can sense things.") Kim (Susan Riley Stevens), a coiffed career woman wrapped tightly in a color-coordinated tweed dress and heels (think Libby Dole), denounces David for his effrontery, but she can't drop the subject either. "I'm sorry," she lectures David, "but men are just hard-wired different from women…I channel my desires to make me a stronger person… I jog all the time!" Alice (Jennifer Childs) is a business-suited lawyer who fantasizes sexual overtures from every man who so much as brushes against her.
Updike with humor
All this sex talk inevitably leads to action, but Aronson's script consistently eschews the obvious and remains a step ahead of the audience, allowing a cast of very talented comic actors to build their own sense of cumulative sexual ridiculousness— sort of like a John Updike novel, if only Updike had a sense of humor.
Faith, Stevens and Childs make the most of their juicy roles; Stevens's simulation of the orgasm that Kim absolutely refuses to have with David is subtler and consequently much funnier than Meg Ryan's famous scene in When Harry Met Sally. But Pryor (who directed) and Peakes deserve much credit as well for the restraint with which they serve as respectable foils for their would-be targets.
A trio with cell phones
Not the least of this comedy's sophisticated charms is its consistent grounding in reality (unlike, say, the smarmy theatrical sex gags of The Producers or Dirty Rotten Scoundrels). Unlike so many playwrights, who spend their time hanging around actors and theaters, Williamson has clearly marinated himself in the world of real parents, children and adolescents. One of the play's most inventive moments occurs when the three potential seducees conduct simultaneous cell phone conversations with their respective spouses, interspersing fragments of the very one-sided dialogues we've all heard countless times from cell-phone parents on sidewalks or Amtrak trains ("It's too late for ice cream— it's almost dinner").
An epilogue scene, set five years after the original action, is quite pointed and funny as well but would have benefited from an intermission. But this is a minor quibble. For the most part, The First Day of School is a combination of a first-rate script performed by first-rate comic actors, expertly coordinated.

Tiger Teeth: Red Light
New York, NY 10011
Benrimon Contemporary is pleased to announce Tiger Teeth: Red Light, Liz Nielsen's first solo exhibition with the gallery. The exhibition features an entirely new body of unique photographic work referred to as "compositions."
Tiger Teeth: Red Light will be on view at the gallery from March 9 through April 20, 2013 with the opening reception from 6 to 8 pm on Saturday, March 9. For Nielsen, photography is sculpture, painting, drawing, math and science. It is the voice she uses to invent and test ideas, to present connections of thought, creations and visions.
Nielsen's presentations and inventions turn the outer world inward, making one world into two and interchanges the subjective with the objective. She layers and intersects shapes, lines, and colors that are found in both created and pre-existing landscapes; each revealing connections that may otherwise go unnoticed. Inwardly, these images, places and spaces fall flat and locations become ambiguous. Time exists outside of the frame.
Within these unique photographs, Nielsen experiments with the physics of light. By mixing wavelengths and dividing the light spectrum, she composes images both mathematically and intuitively without a camera. The compositions are built one transparent layer at a time with the aim of creating color harmonies. When the negatives are exposed in the darkroom, the opposite wavelengths appear on the photographic paper and their resulting abstract shapes invite the imagination to see new images. The artist playfully engages the imagination even further with titles such as Tiger Teeth, Two Birds, and Castle Rocket; where one sees a castle, the other a crown; where one sees two birds, someone else might see a phoenix, a centaur or even a hatchet, thus becoming a Rorschach-style test of sorts.
Liz Nielsen was born in Wisconsin in 1975. She earned her MFA from the University of Illinois at Chicago in 2004 and her BFA from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2002. Nielsen's works have been reviewed in The New York Times, Wall Street Journal and Art Slant. Her works have been exhibited in group exhibitions, including David Zwirner, New York; Schalter, Berlin; and Lisa Boyle Gallery, Chicago. Her works have been acquired by the Progressive Art Collection and will also have a selection of works on display at the Steven Alan boutique in Chelsea. The artist currently lives and works in Brooklyn, New York.

determine your heel height.

The search for the ideal wedding shoes, even when you have narrowed it down to ivory wedding shoes, is still a extended and tough one. So, I thought I would put together a tip to help every bride narrow down that search.
Tip 3: Search early and look everywhere. There are great bargains to be found for ivory wedding shoes, as extended as you look early and look everywhere. Look in department stores and look online. One thing that I found during my shoe shopping was that ivory bridal shoes are more likely found in online bridal shoe stores. It was much harder to go to a regular store and find particular shades of ivory since that color is so specialized. You can also ask salespeople for cream or beige which can be very close to the ivory color you are looking for.
Tip 5: Check for comfort: Finally, after receiving your ivory bridal shoes,http://www.cuarzo-ourivesarias.com/e2shoes.php, check them all to see which pair are the most comfortable. Don't just look for something that is beautiful. Those beautiful shoes could end up hurting your feet towards the end of the night. Or, if you want those beautiful ivory shoes and they are not as comfortable, then order a pair of wedding flip flops to match your ivory wedding shoes.
Determine what type of shoe you want or order multiple pairs and then take them to your dress fitting to see what you like. Only after you put them on with your dress will you know if they match. With your dress on,http://harrietts.com.au/nikefree5blackwomens.php, you'll be able to get the full effect of your outfit with your bridal shoes.
Tip 4: Order multiple pairs and see which one matches. There are so many different styles of shoes. You could get ivory wedge shoes,http://theelephantshop.com/coralrun.php, flat ivory shoes, ivory ballet slippers, and even an extra pair of ivory flip flops.
Tip 1: First, determine your heel height. Now that you have picked the color ivory for your shoe, think about what heel height you want your shoe to be at. This is important,http://www.502eliquid.com/freerun3size.php, especially if your fiancé is taller or shorter. Buying heels that are too tall or too short could make you look unbalanced. Also, don't forget, heels that are too high will be very uncomfortable throughout the night. So, think through all of these considerations before choosing the heel height. Also, choose a range for those ivory shoes so you can look for 2 inch to 2 and a half inch ivory shoes.
Tip 2: Get a swatch of your dress. Ivory comes in a lot of different shades and there are some dresses that are a darker ivory while some are a much lighter ivory shade. You want your ivory bridal shoes to be either the same shade or a bit darker than your dress,http://www.labrunette.fr/ladyfootlocker.php. A lighter ivory shoe will stand out too much against the dress and will give the glow in the dark effect that you don't want. You want your wedding shoes to blend in with your outfit and not to stand out too brightly against the ivory dress.

The Paper P3 Study Guide features a number of models to aid Information System (IS) strategy planning. These models can be used to assist in identifying and assessing strategic opportunities, or diagnosing and appraising the current strategic situation.
Some of these models are known by acronyms, such as the PEST or SWOT checklists. Some are represented as matrices, such as the Boston Matrix. Others are diagrammatic, such as Porter's 5-forces or the Value Chain.
At Paper P3, you should be both familiar with the models in their traditional form, and be able to apply them to different scenarios. Although the textbooks describe what could be called the 'classical' application of models, the value of the models often lies in their flexibility. To illustrate this, two well-known models are discussed in this article – PEST and Value Chain – showing how they can be used to reflect different situations.
PEST (Political, Economic, Sociological, Technological), also known as SLEPT (including Legal) and PESTLE (including Legal and Environmental), represents the factors in the wider environment to which an organisation needs to react. The Political, Economic, Sociological, and Technological elements are usually applied at a macro-level, to the world at large. They can, however, be scaled down to show internal, organisational influences on a given target department.
Table 1, at the end of this article, illustrates the macro and micro-levels of PEST, with examples at an organisational and departmental level, indicating the factors that an analyst may want to examine.
PEST is not only relevant to environment analyses – it can also be used to help assess the feasibility of a proposal for business change. Thus a business analyst, when considering a solution in a department or division of a company, might perform a PEST analysis. The analyst would examine the organisational strategy, board make-up, and organisational structure for political influences. Economic factors would include the budget allocation, cross-charging policies, and accounting models. Sociological factors might be the prevailing organisational culture, or the likelihood of a change in work practice or redundancies. Technological considerations would cover the capability of the current infrastructure to handle the new system, and the compatibility of different components of the system.
As can be seen, used in this way, the PEST model draws more on the internal, departmental level experience. By focusing on internal factors, the analysis allows us to see whether or not the proposed solution will be compatible with the company's present position and expectations. The model itself has not been changed by using it in this way, but it has demonstrated flexibility in its application.
The value chain
Another model that can be used to illustrate flexibility in application is Porter's Value Chain. Most textbooks describe the Value Chain in terms of the handling of physical resources.
In itself, the Value Chain is a model which helps us break down the business cycle into strategic activities that add value to a product or service. Through this analysis, the company can identify where costs are too high, or are reasonable, and also understand where and how differentiation from competitors can be achieved. In the context of managing business information, the company can also decide where information systems can help reduce costs and deliver competitive advantage.
As mentioned above, in most textbooks the Value Chain refers mainly to the handling of physical goods, often in a manufacturing or retail context. In Example 1, only the primary activities are considered, as 'backroom' support (or secondary) activities are similar, regardless of the type of organisation.
Example 1 – Handling physical goods
Inbound logistics may be met by automated warehouse procedures for manufacturing, or by a dedicated transport fleet for shipping stock into branch stores.
Operations would be controlled by a manufacturing system, such as a production scheduling system, or by a stacking and selling process in a retail business
Outward logistics could be handled by a delivery fleet, a transport scheduling system or a collection point.
See Figure 1: The Value Chain (M E Porter (1980))
Although Porter defined the Value Chain as pertaining to both products and services, most textbooks simply describe the physical aspects, as reflected in the descriptions above. The terms 'Inbound logistics' and 'Outbound logistics' give emphasis to the idea of physical movement. Services, however, are less tangible, so we need to examine whether the Value Chain model can still be applied. Service sectors include financial services, travel and tourism, marketing, and advertising.
At the outset, we need to be comfortable with what the model portrays. The core activities can be seen as a simple process model, as shown in Figure 2: Simple process model.
Any service must have identifiable inputs and outputs. Inbound and outbound logistics refer to the input and output to and from the process part of the system. Our other primary activities of marketing, sales and service also feed into the process, but not in the same manner, hence their separate boxes on the process model.
Considered in this way, we can reconsider our view of the Value Chain as only appraising the cost of handling physical goods. So what can we see from this view? Here's an example of a training company that specialises in providing online learning rather than traditional classroom instruction. The source for this is a study undertaken by Woudstra and Powell in 1989.
Rather than talk in terms of logistics, we need to consider what represents the inputs to, and outputs from, the process. One way to approach this is to list some of what we (ie the business) consider to be the core activities, and see how they map onto the process model. Typical core activities undertaken by an online learning provider will include:
- market research into learning needs
- curriculum planning
- course development
- preparing written and multimedia teaching materials
- developing a learning technology
- strategy
- exercise preparation
- course promotion
- seeking affiliation with a funding or accreditation body
- deciding pre-requisites for modules
- student registration
- assessment marking
- distributing materials
- scheduling tutorial/guidance sessions
- providing telephone support for students
- ensuring students have access to learning materials
- feeding results back to students.
Figure 3 suggests how these may populate the Value Chain. Although the term 'logistics' is there, think more in terms of what is input to, and output from, the process.
Figure 3: Value Chain
Once the activities have been identified and the model populated, the business can analyse the costs of each element, as in the traditional model.
This example shows how a company selling a largely intangible service still has to control its value chain in order to manipulate its costs to maximum effect. In the current economy, where service industries generate as much money as manufacturing, it is important to be able to recognise the primary activities in these sectors, and how they can be appraised.
Porter's Model is flexible enough to accommodate all types of services, as long as the analysis is not 'frozen' by the rigid terms used in the original model.
The various models cited in the Paper P3 Study Guide are described in their original form and context. However, the evolving business environment and the range of business strategies currently used means that these models should be used with thought and flexibility. Their use is intended as an aid to thought, not a substitute.

King Salami And The Cumberland Three – 26/08/17
In 2006, one Japanese punk, one French punk, one Spanish punk, and one Caribbean tennis teacher got together to form the world's greatest rhythm & blues party band. You couldn't make it up.
London's R&B-punk sensation are making fun times where ever they go. With a repertoire encompassing many of the greats of the '50s and '60s you won't be able to help but move your feet. The King howls like Screaming Jay Hawkins with Bo Diddley chasing his coat-tail and with Andre Williams trying to offer up some of his bacon fat. This man never stops shakin' and twistin' and groovin' while the Cumberland 3 (former members of the Ulcers, Chinese Lungs and Parkinsons) play their own branded mix of vintage rockabilly desperate rock'n'roll and a bit of soul with fire, energy, gusto and fun!
They play constantly all over Europe, sharing the stage with the Pretty Things, the Trashmen, the Standells, the Mummies, the Bellrays, the Cynics, etc…they have also despoiled the pristine lands of Japan, China, Australia and the US.
