What is Brain Surgery?
This operation is conducted on the brain in order to treat problems with the brain and nearby structures. It involves going through the skull and accessing the soft tissue that makes up the brain. People who conduct such operations are known as neurosurgeons. They go through years of training to qualify for such an operation.
A number of conditions may necessitate brain surgery. One of this is a brain tumor. The only way to get rid of it is cutting it off. In addition, invasive parasites such as worms may lead to brain surgery. Other conditions such as aneurysms lead to brain surgery.
Diagnosis takes place with the use of soft tissue imaging techniques. The most common method used is the MRI machine. A CT scan may also be used in rare instances. In some instances, a biopsy is taken through minimally invasive techniques.
Treating brain disorders is complex. First, the doctor shaves off the hair on the part where he/she will make an entry to the skull. This is done in order to avoid contamination. Due to recent advances in medicine, the operation can take place with the patient fully awake.
A fully awake brain surgery helps to warn the doctor in case he/she touches something. At times, the doctor may make an incision on another part besides the top of the head. For instance, he may use a minimally invasive device through the nose. The device may also be inserted through a hole in the roof of the mouth. Minimally invasive techniques help to reduce the amount of scarring. There are fewer risks of something going wrong. In addition, the recovery time for the patient is shorter. This is because of the few structures that need to heal.

Whether they've reached the top as a result of their artistic ability, sheer quantity or a knack for self-promotion- if graffiti is a fame game these guys are winning.
20. Boris from Bulgaria
He might not be a king of style, but Boris has a lot of fun painting and makes sure you know it. With his impressive abilities in social media marketing, product development and a complete disregard for his own privacy he has found recent fame and is arguably becoming the king of the internet. Check out The Grifters for more on the antics of him and his friends.
19. Utah & Ether
This duo were an active part of the US subway painting renaissance in the early to mid-2000s and have since travelled to many different corners of the world. They were arrested on returning home after a trip through Europe in 2009 and their story caught the attention of the national media who described them as "the 'Bonnie & Clyde' of graffiti". You can see their blog here.
18. Egs
With a graffiti career that's spanned three decades and several continents, Egs has had a major influence on the European graffiti scene and inspired many younger writers. Originally from Helsinki, Egs was one of the earliest members of the graffiti InterRail movement; where writers would travel across borders to explore new cities and make new friends with their shared interest in painting trains and walls. His unusual, ever-developing style and his ability to make connections worldwide has made a lasting impression on the scene.
17. Katsu
Katsu has adapted his graffiti for the digital age, reproducing his iconic skull tag in a variety of different ways. He has developed his own mobile app, pioneered remote control graffiti drones and doctored photos and videos of him vandalising Picasso's 'Girl Before a Mirror', the White House and the Great Wall of China. Katsu's work has outwardly criticised the way the internet is developing for profit at the cost of the privacy and freedom of the general public.
16. Taps & Moses
Another graffiti duo, the pair have been well known throughout Europe during their careers due to their original concepts. They rose to global fame with the release of their book International Top Sprayer, which tells the story of their mission to paint 1000 panels in 1000 days. These two have managed to achieve quality and quantity in their train painting, a rare feat by today's standards.
15. Horfe
With a unique style that's reminiscent of early cartoons and his relentless dedication to painting the streets of Paris, Horfe has received recognition from writers and the art community alike. In recent years he has ventured into different mediums including tattoos, acrylics and animation. You can see more of his work over on his blog.
14. Nekst
Originally from Houston, Nekst gained international notoriety for his great drive and lack of fear when it came to painting. Throughout his life he painted many subways, rooftops and freeway spots in cities all over the USA with his bold style. Nekst tragically died in 2012 and artists payed their tributes to him worldwide.
13. Banos
One of the most notorious inter-railers in the history of graffiti, Banos has left his mark on subway systems all over the world and had a particularly large impact on the London and Amsterdam metros (and their security). He's painted more panels than most writers have had hot dinners. In 2007 the documentary Reasonable People was released detailing some of his adventures.
12. Claw Money
Claw began writing graffiti in New York in the late 1980s painting her iconic claw symbol all over the city. Since then she has used her graffiti style as the branding for her fashion label Claw & Company which has become popular with celebrities including Kanye West, Nicki Minaj And Rihanna. She has been commissioned by many well know brands including Calvin Klein, Nike, Mountain Dew and My Little Pony .
11. Saber
Saber is best known for painting what was the largest piece of graffiti in the world on the Los Angeles river bank. The piece was 250 x 55 feet and could be seen by satellite. He has exhibited and collaborated with many different artists including his crew MSK, and the art collective Seventh Letter. Saber's solo show at the Opera in New York was a huge success and sold out.
10. Os Gemeos
These twin brothers from São Paulo started painting in the late 1980s when hip-hop culture exploded in South American cities. They are best known for their yellow figures depicting the people of Brazil and its culture, but both continue to paint traditional graffiti. They have been commissioned to paint several large scale public murals in their home city and all over the world.
9. Eine
Eine first found fame in the London graffiti scene in the 90s by painting his unusual throw-up all over the city and was featured in the televised documentary Kings and Toys. By the mid-2000s he was well known by the public by painting his recognisable alphabet letters on shutters all over East London. In 2010 British Prime Minister David Cameron gave Barack Obama one of Eine's canvases as a gift on a visit to the US. Eine has had several gallery shows and his work is highly sought after by art collectors.
8. Twist/Barry McGee
Twist a.k.a. Barry McGee was active on the San Francisco Bay Area graffiti scene in the 1980s and 90s, and was best known for the distinctive handstyle of his tags. McGee is also a successful illustrator and now tries to disassociate himself from his graffiti past; at the same time avoiding the 'street art' label as he has made his move into the galleries. McGee has received good publicity from his solo exhibitions, installations and also his collaborative work with his co-creator Amaze.
7. Revok
Revok has painted Los Angeles consistently since 1991, and as a consequence has received a lot of negative attention from the city's Sheriff's Department. In 2011 he was arrested at LAX on his way to Ireland and issued with the highest bail for vandalism in history, at $320,000. The courts sentenced him to six months in prison. This hasn't deterred Revok and he continues to create his artwork and exhibit in galleries. He currently lives in Detroit where he can escape his police troubles.
6. Stephen ESPO Powers
Taking advantage of public perceptions of graffiti, Espo used to paint whole shutters of disused shops in the middle of the day dressed in tradesman clothes. One of his greatest contributions to graffiti was his book The Art Of Getting Over: Graffiti At The Millennium which describes the subculture eloquently and offers advice to young writers. Powers now focuses on his typography and sign-writing. In 2005 he organised The Dreamland Artists Club which was an art collective that re-painted signs of the Coney Island fairground rides and kiosks. He currently works out of his studio Icy Signs.
5. Iz the Wiz
'This is it! This is it!' Even today, more than 20 years after his most active time painting, Iz is still one of the longest-standing kings of New York graffiti; painting every lay-up and yard on every line of the city during the 1970s and 80s. Iz the Wiz sadly passed away in 2009.
4. Seen
Commonly known as 'the Godfather of Graffiti', Seen was not one of the first on New York's graffiti scene, but he has remained active one way or another since he started in 1973. He first gained recognition for painting the subway, including dozens of whole cars, some of which are featured in Subway Art. Seen has used various mediums throughout his career including canvas, 3D sculpture and tattoos.
3. Blade
Blade is known for the highly experimental concepts of his whole cars and the sheer quantity of trains he's painted, which he counts at around 5000. At a time when style was rapidly evolving, it's clear to see in his work that his inspiration truly came from within.
2. Dondi
As the pioneer of many elements of modern wildstyle, a lot of today's graffiti culture has been shaped in Dondi's image. Dondi was another who was active during the 1970s and early 80s, and continued to paint the subway when New York had it's clamp down with police investigations and added security in the yards. His whole car series Children of the Grave has become part of graffiti history and his name will continue to be remembered for decades to come.
1. Lee
Lee painted whole cars, and almost nothing but. At a time when so many kids were painting trains in New York, Lee pushed things that little bit further and his awe-inspiring pieces have given him the title of the most influential graffiti artist ever. Lee truly showed the world what was possible in terms of artistic ability and scale, paving the way for generations of graffiti writers to come.
Graffiti fame checklist:
- Do something original
- Paint 100 whole cars/1000s great street spots or trains
- Feature in a documentary

The Art of Participation - Ceremony
Please Enjoy this Gift...
Ceremonies can be thought of as conversations or dialogues with Mystery in that they involve both acting and receiving, speaking and listening. Our time in ceremony creates an essential bridge between the worlds of the known and the unknown.
It is here where our imaginations, our creativity, our prayers and desires and our intentions thread down through the middle world of everyday life, permeate through the mists of all the tasks, concerns and questions we carry, to reach a space of depth, of power, of magic and of meaning. This space has been named the liminal space, the collective unconscious, the dreamtime, the veil, the underworld, the realm of the soul and by countless other names. It is, as authors of our lives and as essential creators in this world, the fertile ground where seeds root, take shape and grow.

You can't go back. No matter where we are in our life's journey, the past is merely what was experienced prior to this moment which allowed us to realize even higher potential. Of course we would rather not repeat unpleasant experiences, but even the good ones aren't meant to be repeated.
Those who's vocations involve helping others heal are often working with people who want to get back to what they were doing, the way they were doing things, from the same motivation. Or, they sense they are ready to "change", yet think this means going back to certain activities and motivations that they believe made them feel good in the past. "If I can just "get back" to how I was before this happened"…
Not only are we never meant to go back, it's technically impossible to do so. Life is tirelessly striving to improve itself. Due to quantum physics, the place you identify as your house is not identical molecularly or energetically moment to moment. You "recreate" the space and how it responds to you from whatever state of being you— and others that interact with the space— are perceiving from at that moment. If we consciously attempt to recreate a process or event to the best of our recollection, our new experience will still be fundamentally different, even if we aren't conscious of those new details.
When Our Comfort Zone Becomes Uncomfortable
The rub is if we believe things should be the same, we create disharmony between our perception and our higher potential. This is why some of us do something over and over again that initially felt amazing, and since we don't get the identical rush of reward we remember having, will increase the quantity or intensity of that action until the bodymind begins to break down. We may be repeating actions and thoughts, therefore energetically attracting similar circumstances to create similar outcomes, but it just won't be the same as an initial experience that was meant to lead you to something else.
I'm not referring to temporarily habituating a skill so we don't have to consciously think about it anymore to navigate the world, like learning to drive. Nor do I mean we shouldn't practice a vocational pursuit. Yet we have been taught that success is precisely mimicking and automating techniques recorded by others who had success in the past, then repeating those steps forever, even if they become boring or taxing. We are taught that such suffering is not just normal, it's necessary. That's how we think we "earn" our place in the world. And the euphoria of temporary reprieve, such as reaching a goal or going on a vacation, is our reward. Then what?
We see this type of success everywhere, yet are all these skillful people healthy and fulfilled? Consider those televised talent competitions where it is apparent everyone has amazing ability, has been told if they put in the focused work that they can be the best, and have obviously spent such effort… yet only one person can "'win". And there's only a relative handful of paying gigs for certain types of performers, athletes, etc… in relation to how many people are striving to become one of the chosen. Therefore, the others aren't "good enough", and if they don't give up, they work "harder" until they break down. In the meantime, there is usually high dependency upon multiple therapy modalities to survive this process.
People that are highly skilled resulting from enormous, calculated effort at executing activities that society has conditioned itself to believe are important and impressive, are finding themselves unfulfilled. Such discipline stifles authentic creativity, which is necessary for Life to efficiently evolve and thrive. Instead, rigidity and inability to adapt to ever-changing circumstances ensues. Trying to control every detail is exhausting, because we aren't meant to.
This approach is not limited to vocational pursuit. Since everything we attempt in our lives is executed from a habitual state of being and doing, trying to maintain individual wellbeing is forced from the same calculated effort. Whether physical, emotional or spiritual, we are told by experts and gurus to follow a strict formula that will result in health, happiness or enlightenment.
Using a Method to Initiate Change
I noticed through my client's and my own journeys that if a method is helpful, those effects are temporarily. Following specific advise does help people open to new ideas, break some old habits, and develop new ones to get a flow of change started. Yet too often, if we experience some relief, we attribute this to something outside our power fixing us and try to return to our familiar lives. Even if we want other things to improve, we continue to allow our environments: friends, family, material things, work issues, the news, etc… to condition our behavior and the parameters of our wellbeing.
Once a method has opened a path, it's "your move": meaning you either begin to tap-in to your own higher guidance and focus your attention toward positive potential; or, get distracted with the aftermath of what was set in motion from the old self and others, and need the next method to get reinspired. This loop has become a lifestyle, as overcoming hardship is glorified to the extent of being THE path to worthiness and wisdom. So we perpetually regurgitate other people's suffering and create more issues to make it harder on ourselves, while ignoring higher potential asking to be expressed through us. Eventually, what "works" to experience one's fullest potential— whether health, vocation, spiritual connection, or any aspect of life— is diligently cultivating a deep, loving relationship with your unique Self.
The best methods and practitioners are those who offer tools of self-empowerment, and understand they are merely a temporary co-creator of our journey to embodying the True Self.
It's opening the opportunity to take full responsibility for every aspect of our own life experience. We can learn how to tune-in to our built-in biofeedback system, and discover the next layer of our abilities and genius from a place of self-empowerment instead of survival.
Becoming Empowered with a Quantum Perspective
This means embarking on a new perspective of Life that is an endless journey. There is no definitive goal that must be achieved to earn worthiness, health or happiness. There is no age or experience constraint— if you are breathing now, you can chose to open to something yet to be. There is no requisite suffering or efforting. There is always more love, more clarity, more creativity, more joy, more ability, and more understanding to be realized. The word "more" is not being used as a quantitative factor, accumulating stuff and information that creates density and blockage. Here, more means new, different and fuller than past experience. We release past truths that otherwise become limitations, trusting we have integrated whatever was needed to learn— whether 10 decades, years, days or even seconds. Time, age and meaning as we knew them to be are not factors in quantum reality.
We are blessed to live in an amazing era where we get to pioneer quantum beingness, no longer limited to manipulating things from a matter-effecting-matter, linear reality. We can choose to consciously expand into the larger reality of energy-effecting-matter, and play with the possibilities. When full attention is paid to the creative process from a positive perspective, we powerfully direct the course of the future toward more love, beauty, prosperity and wellbeing… and are free to enjoy experiencing Life as it unfolds in the present moment. With this possibility waiting to be expressed through you, do you want to go back?

Picture: Contributing Editor of Vanity Fair Magazine Gail Sheehy Hillary Clinton addressed the National Newspapers Publishers Association Foundation at Washington Hilton Washington DC, USA - 12.03.08
In the wake of the row over Miley Cyrus's photo spread in Vanity Fair, Playboy publisher Hugh Hefner has indicated he would probably ask her to pose nude for his magazine in three years, when she's 18 and of legal age. Interviewed on the syndica ted TV show Extra, Hefner remarked, "Sure she'd be welcome in the magazine. Very pretty lady." As for that Vanity Fair photo of her holding satin sheets around her with her shoulders and back exposed, Hefner said, "To make such a big to-do over something as innocent as those photos, I think is a reflection on how schizophrenic America is about sexuality." Separately it was reported by the website XBIZ.com that Playboy is planning to launch a video-on-demand channel aimed at gay males next month. The website quoted from a letter to Time Warner Cable from Playboy President Bob Meyers that described the planned softcore offerings.

Simultaneous band-gap narrowing and carrier-lifetime prolongation of organic–inorganic trihalide perovskites
The organic-inorganic hybrid lead trihalide perovskites have been emerging as the most attractive photovoltaic materials. As regulated by Shockley-Queisser theory, a formidable materials science challenge for improvement to the next level requires further band-gap narrowing for broader absorption in solar spectrum, while retaining or even synergistically prolonging the carrier lifetime, a critical factor responsible for attaining the near-band-gap photovoltage. Herein, by applying controllable hydrostatic pressure, we have achieved unprecedented simultaneous enhancement in both band-gap narrowing and carrier-lifetime prolongation (up to 70% to -100% increase) under mild pressures at -0.3 GPa. The pressure-induced modulation on pure hybrid perovskites without introducing any adverse chemical or thermal effect clearly demonstrates the importance of band edges on the photon-electron interaction and maps a pioneering route toward a further increase in their photovoltaic performance.

My My we are quiet.. how's everyone doing?
I know I'm not overly chatty myself lately, don't really have much to say.
What's new in my world?
The bad: We just went through loss Number 6 together over the weekend. Angel doesn't yet have a name. We will be looking into an RE later this year or early next year.
The Good: We are getting a new kitten. I don't know when yet, he's only 6 days old right now. But he is black and white and will be named Damon.
I'm around, not much to say.
Sorry for another loss :(
Yey for another kitten. I love cats.
Re: My My we are quiet.. how's everyone doing?
I'm here too. I'm pressing along in my current preg but I will admit that the anxiety from previous losses still haunts. I'm scarred. It's like having PTSD in my book. I wonder if I'm the only one feeling like this- you know? I assume it won't get better. But I'm hopeful that maybe when baby finally comes, it will.
I'm sorry for another loss Ashley. It's just not fair. How's your thyroid these days? Any further improvements? When's the next set of labs?
Re: My My we are quiet.. how's everyone doing?
Friday. Last set was just over 5.. so close enough to normal that it is likely not what's causing the issue. I'm hoping for a 2-3 this time.
We are loosely taking a few months off. My pap came back abnormal and I have to have a colposcopy done next Monday in Milwaukee (if AF holds out long enough.. looks like I O'd late this cycle so she should) to see if I need part of my cervix taken off or not. If I don't, we'll be back to ttc in November (results won't be back in time to ttc in October :( (*pout* my birthday's in October) and if I do need one there won't be any TTC until 30-45 days after the LEEP since we can't dtd for 30+ days after. We will probably push the LEEP into 2014 if we can, since we will have insurance and it would go towards our deductible.
after that, since DH will probably be gone away to work, next step will be for me to seen an RE and get some answers to heavy painful periods, painful ovulation, etc... and hope that shows some reasons why I can't stay pregnant.
The only upside to the last loss.. if there can be an upside, is I didn't use soy or vitex. I've always had to use one or the other to get a bfp... so something I did changed something for the better.
Re: My My we are quiet.. how's everyone doing?
Best of luck at colpo.

Really warm for a bag that packs down so small. Weighs almost nothing, but is warm enough for late fall/early winter. Comfy down to -10 C if you wear a wool shirt :-)

Participant Promotes Jonathan King, Diane Weyermann to Lead Film, TV Initiatives
10 September 2017 4:56 PM, PDT
Participant Media has promoted Jonathan King and Diane Weyermann to the newly established roles of presidents, with King overseeing narrative film and television projects, and Weyermann handling documentaries.
The promotions were announced on Sunday by CEO David Linde. Both Weyermann and King report to Linde.
"By shepherding inspiring and highly compelling films over the last decade, Diane and Jonathan have played integral roles in shaping Participant into the dynamic company it is today," Linde said. "Their promotions are not only well deserved, but also reflect their substantial commitment to our success and Jeff Skoll's prescient mission of creating socially impactful content that inspires audiences to action."
Skoll founded Participant in 2004 as a means of inspiring social change. Its most notable titles have included "Syriana," "An Inconvenient Truth," "The Help," "Lincoln," "Spotlight," and "Citizenfour."

Christopher Nolan on 'Dunkirk': There Was No Green Screen
10 September 2017 3:26 PM, PDT
Christopher Nolan's drive for authenticity with "Dunkirk" led him to bring the cast and crew of his World War II epic to the very beaches in France where Allied forces snatched victory from the jaws of defeat. Even though the fighting ended decades and generations ago, there were still land mines and other live explosive devices lining the shoreline and the harbor.
"Every time we'd need to do one of our explosions, we'd do a controlled explosion first to see if it would set off anything," Nolan said during a question and answer session at the Toronto International Film Festival on Sunday. "When you think about how long ago it is, it was very sobering in terms of the lingering impact of these kind of events."
Nolan was on hand to celebrate IMAX's 50th anniversary (the drama is shot using the company's cameras). The event comes, as »

Hurricane Irma Causes More Movie Theater Closures as Storm Makes Second Landfall
10 September 2017 3:16 PM, PDT
Now a Category 3 hurricane, Hurricane Irma made a second landfall in Florida on Sunday, hitting Marco Island on the southwest coast, near Naples, after inundating the Florida Keys.
Packing 120-mph winds, the dangerous storm led to closures and event cancellations throughout the state, including movie theaters and other entertainment venues.
NBC, CBS, ABC Rework Sunday Schedules as Hurricane Irma Swirls
After devastating the Caribbean and forcing one of the largest evacuations in U.S. history, Irma ripped through the Florida Keys on Sunday. According to ABC News, the storm has led to at least three deaths in Florida.
Almost every major cinema has closed in Florida, leading to approximately 175 locations to be shuttered over the weekend, as of Sunday morning. AMC Theatres, Cinemark Theatres, iPic Theaters, and Regal Cinemas first began closing around Miami and Fort Lauderdale on Thursday night.
Although it's halted moviegoing in Florida, it's unclear how significantly the storm has affected »

George Clooney on 'Suburbicon,' Charlottesville, and Why Celebrities Shouldn't Run for President
10 September 2017 2:48 PM, PDT
If George Clooney ever decides to run for president, he wouldn't get Julianne Moore's vote. "I don't think actors should be president," Moore told Variety at the Toronto International Film Festival. "I'm sorry, George."
Clooney wasn't hurt. In fact, he stressed — once again — that he has no political aspirations. "I think that having a celebrity as president who has a star on Hollywood Boulevard will exorcise our need to have someone famous in office," Clooney said about Donald Trump. "And maybe we'll find someone who knows how to make policy."

Toronto Film Review: 'Hochelaga, Land of Souls'
10 September 2017 2:34 PM, PDT
French-Canadian writer-director François Girard's sixth feature over nearly three decades — during which he's also worked extensively in other media — "Hochelaga, Land of Souls" proves a worthy return to the strengths and ambitions of "Thirty Two Short Films About Glenn Gould" and "The Red Violin." Like those two earlier art-house successes, "Hochelaga" is trickily structured and flamboyantly staged almost to a self-conscious fault, but nonetheless likewise rewards with a rich cinematic banquet. In this case the menu sprawls across some eight centuries of Quebec history, tying together present and various pasts through the framing device of a modern-day archaeological dig.
The national specificity of this subject may result in more limited commercial exposure than Girard's prior successes have enjoyed, but if any movie is going to lure international audiences in for a Canadian history lesson, this is it.
The somewhat overly-showy opening movement involves both the gruesome aftermath of a 13th-century Native Peoples battle, and »

'It,' 'Split' and 'Get Out': Horror's Star Continues to Rise at the Box Office
10 September 2017 2:26 PM, PDT
"You'll float too."
The catchy tag line for the new film adaptation of Stephen King's "It" might also apply to the egos of those behind the record-shattering box office hit (which must be about as inflated as Pennywise's balloon). In its opening weekend, the R-rated horror film is expected to earn $117 million in North America. That's the biggest opening ever during the month of September, and for a horror movie.
Jeff Goldstein, the distribution chief at Warner Bros., said he initially hoped for a launch around the film's production budget — in the $30 million to $40 million range. "That would have been a marvelous," he told Variety on a call Sunday morning. "After we dropped the first trailer, we realized we had something special. It really took the zeitgeist by storm."

Toronto Film Review: 'The Current War'
10 September 2017 1:14 PM, PDT
Alfonso Gomez-Rejon's "The Current War" tackles a fascinating pivot point in technological and commercial history: the late 19th century battle between Thomas Alva Edison and George Westinghouse to fully electrify the United States. It benefits from a smart, snappy script and a well-rounded cast, and gives its director the chance to employ virtually every camera trick known to man. What it can't do, however, is generate even the slightest bit of interest in what happens to any of its characters.
Directing his first feature after breaking through with "Me and Earl and the Dying Girl," Gomez-Rejon seems wary of turning this period drama into a science lecture or a stuffy prestige project, and thus errs on the side of flashy modern technique. Ironically, this flattens the film into a much duller creature than it might have been had he embraced technical geekery and 19th century rhythms, its style calling attention only to itself. At »

Stephen King's 'It' Launches With Monster $179 Million at Worldwide Box Office
10 September 2017 12:32 PM, PDT
"It" is terrorizing the box office all over the world.
Warner Bros. and New Line's adaptation of the Stephen King book is launching to $179 million worldwide, including a record-breaking $117 million North American debut. The movie is taking in an impressive $62 million from 46 territories abroad.
"It" was directed by Andy Muschietti, who is already being courted for another installment. Bill Skarsgard stars as Pennywise the Clown, who terrorizes young children in Derry, Maine. The rest of the cast includes Jeremy Ray Taylor, Sophia Lillis, Finn Wolfhard, Wyatt Oleff, Chosen Jacobs, Jack Dylan Grazer, Nicholas Hamilton, and Jackson Robert Scott in supporting roles.

'Fifty Shades Freed' First Teaser Takes a Dark Turn
10 September 2017 11:51 AM, PDT
First comes love. Then comes marriage. Then comes a kidnapping?
Universal unleashed the teaser for "Fifty Shades Freed" on Sunday, featuring the first footage from the final installment of the "Fifty Shades of Grey" cinematic trilogy.
The teaser shows Anastasia Steele (Dakota Johnson) and Christian Grey (Jamie Dornan) tying the knot, jetting off to a European honeymoon, and their lives taking a dark turn.
The trailer opens with a voiceover of Christian delivering his wedding vows ("all that I have is now yours") as Anastasia gets dressed for the big day. Scenes from their picturesque honeymoon are then intercut with the erotic drama's signature images of S&M and foreplay. Things turn deadly as we see Christian wielding a weapon, Anastasia firing a gun, and the heroine being accosted with a knife by her former boss, Jack Hyde.
The full trailer will debut in November, while the movie hits theaters on Valentine's Day 2018.

China Box Office: 'Spider-Man: Homecoming' Nets $70 Million Opening Weekend
10 September 2017 9:38 AM, PDT
"Spider-Man: Homecoming" was the only story of significance at the Chinese box office this weekend. With a market share exceeding 75%, it earned an impressive $70.3 million in its debut.
Highly anticipated as the first Hollywood live-action franchise movie to be released in China for two months, "Spider-Man: Homecoming" was given a massive platform of up to 137,000 screenings per day. That gave it the bandwidth to score 80% market share and $20.7 million on its opening Friday, followed by 77% and $28.3 million on Saturday. Its Sunday figure of $21.3 million was a similar 75% share, according to local data service Ent Group. Including previews and midnight screenings, the cumulative total is $71.8 million.
Sony reports the film's total as the third-best opening of a superhero movie in China. About $6 million of the weekend total was earned from 442 IMAX screens, which IMAX reports as the best-ever opening weekend in September and the best opening weekend for a Sony film in China.

5 Lessons 'The Dark Tower' Could Learn From 'It'
10 September 2017 9:20 AM, PDT
Two Stephen King big-screen adaptations, released a month apart, had disparate fates at the box office. We examine why "It" proved to be a monster hit while "The Dark Tower" collapsed.
Embrace the R rating
Although they're considered fantasy novels, King's "Dark Tower" books are loaded with bloody violence, sex, and adult language. And yet "The Dark Tower" film went out of its way to trim the material to get a PG-13 rating, presumably so that it would appeal to a much wider audience than it would if it was rated R. That clearly didn't work. "It," however, stuck to its guns and went for the solid R rating, and the result is obvious. The lesson being? If the material on the page is inherently R-rated, then the movie adaptation should be, too.
Stick to what's on the page
Although "It" changes several small details and eliminates some unnecessary subplots, it »

Box Office: Stephen King's 'It' Smashes Records With Massive $117 Million Opening
10 September 2017 7:41 AM, PDT
"It" came; "It" saw; "It" conquered.
New Line's adaptation of Stephen King's novel is officially shattering box office records during its opening weekend. The R-rated horror film should make a whopping $117.2 million from 4,103 locations, far surpassing earlier expectations.
"It's" opening is mostly unprecedented, crushing the record for largest September opening set by "Hotel Transylvania 2" in 2015 with $48.5 million, and the biggest opening weekend banked by a horror or supernatural film — "Paranormal Activity 3" earned $52.6 million in 2011. When it comes to R-rated movie openings, "It" falls only to "Deadpool," which changed the game in 2016 with a massive $132.4 million opening. This, during a weekend when Hurricane Irma threatens huge portions of Florida and Georgia, which could dent attendance by as much as 5%.

Toronto: 'A Season in France' Examines Immigrant Issues
10 September 2017 7:00 AM, PDT
A high-school teacher fleeing his war-torn African nation finds refuge in France, only to learn that the life he tries to build there is fraught with fear, uncertainty, and the traumas of the life he left behind.
"A Season in France," the new feature by acclaimed Chadian helmer Mahamat-Saleh Haroun, is a timely portrait of lives scarred by war and migration, set against the backdrop of Europe's ongoing refugee crisis.
Pic world premieres as part of the Special Presentations program at the Toronto Int'l. Film Festival. It's the sixth appearance in Toronto for Haroun, who won the Grand Jury Prize in Cannes in 2010 for "A Screaming Man."
Inspired by the story of a Chadian refugee in France who burned himself alive when his asylum request was rejected, Haroun describes "Season" as an effort to "tell the story of [the] invisible faces" of immigrants who arrive in Europe, hoping to rebuild their lives.

Former Canal Plus Exec Joins Echo Studio, Launches Politically-Engaged Projects
10 September 2017 6:04 AM, PDT
Echo Studio, the production company that launched at Cannes and has first-look deals with Walt Disney France and sales outfit Charades, is developing several topical film and documentary projects, including Gregoire Gosset's "America's Last Guests" (working title) and Rodd Rathjen's Australian drama "Buoyancy."
Produced by Madness Films, "America's Last Guests" follows the journey of African refugees — a family and a single man — who travel from Uganda to the United States as part of a United Nation program. The documentary, now in production, chronicles the lives of these refugees as they settle in and a year later.
"America's Last Guests" illustrates Echo Studio's mandate to develop and produce timely fiction and non-fiction films and series that carry political, social and environmental themes and are meant to have a global appeal, in a similar vein as Participant Media, explained Philippe de Bourbon, the former commissioning editor of documentaries at Canal Plus.

Toronto's Diverse Array of Films From Africa Paint Bigger Picture of Continent
10 September 2017 6:01 AM, PDT
A young Zambian girl banished to a camp for exiled witches, a Congolese singer forced to hustle on the streets of Kinshasa to save her son and an Egyptian imam whose devout lifestyle is thrown into turmoil by the death of Michael Jackson, form part of the rich tapestry of African lives on display in Toronto this year.
The result, according to Tiff Africa and Middle East programmer Kiva Reardon, points to "an abundance of riches" in filmmaking from around the continent.
"The hope is that audiences won't only respond to the film they're watching, but find their curiosity piqued and begin to dig deeper into films from the regions," she says.
Among the highlights will be "Razzia," acclaimed Moroccan auteur Nabil Ayouch's kaleidoscopic portrait of five lives touched by a single event on the streets of Casablanca, which world premieres in the fest's Panorama section.

Wim Wenders on 'Submergence,' Art and Jihadism
10 September 2017 6:00 AM, PDT
Wim Wenders admits that "Submergence" is a departure from his previous work.
The Oscar-nominated director of "Wings of Desire" and "Paris, Texas" isn't known for making swooning cinematic stories that pulsate with emotions. But "Submergence" is an epic romantic drama, one that centers on a deep-sea researcher (Alicia Vikander) and a water engineer (James McAvoy). Their love is tested after the man is held captive by jihadist fighters in Somalia. The sweeping geopolitical tale explores issues of political and religious radicalism. At a time when the world is being roiled by global terrorism, Wenders believes that art and cinema can help people understand their shared humanity.
"Submergence" screens this weekend at the Toronto Intl. Film Festival. Over a latte at the Ritz Carlton, Wenders held forth on the war on terror, Hollywood and Netflix.

It was talking about things that are really urgent — both about the state of the planet »

Dan Gilroy Returns to Toronto With Denzel Washington in 'Roman J. Israel, Esq.' (Exclusive)
10 September 2017 6:00 AM, PDT
The last time Dan Gilroy brought a film to the Toronto Film Festival he had "Nightcrawler" in tow, a dark urban drama focused on a nocturnal bottom-feeding stringer who peddles his video wares to the highest broadcast news bidder. This year he's back with another rich character study, "Roman J. Israel, Esq.," about a good-souled Los Angeles attorney used to toiling away at the impossible on behalf of the ungrateful, a sort of assured activist foil to "Nightcrawler's" craven careerist.
Gilroy, speaking to Variety ahead of the film's Sunday night festival premiere, says he wrote the eponymous role with two-time Oscar winning actor Denzel Washington in mind.
"There's a quality about Denzel — he's a very big believer in the human spirit and human dignity, and that is something that really defines the character in many ways," Gilroy says. "He's someone who really believes in people. It »

Toronto: Chen Kaige Unveils Sneak Peek of 'Demon Cat'
10 September 2017 5:00 AM, PDT
Chinese director Chen Kaige is doing double duty in Toronto. He heads the jury for the festival's cutting-edge Platform section. On Sunday he presents a sneak peak of his new movie, "The Legend of the Demon Cat," and discusses his cinematic journey.
In a 30-year career, stretching from the pre-reform era to the more commercial modern era, Chen has directed some of China's most beloved arthouse movies ("Temptress Moon") to box office record breakers ("The Promise"). He won the Palme d'Or at Cannes in 1993 with "Farewell My Concubine." "Demon Cat" is his first film in six years and is constructed on a different scale.
Billed as an epic, a period romance and a detective story, the film is plunge into the rich culture of the Tang Dynasty, some 1,300 years ago, which Chen says is one of favorite periods in Chinese history. It is also an attempt to shed new light on the Concubine Yang »

Toronto: Director Laura Mora Discusses Debut Feature 'Killing Jesus'
10 September 2017 4:00 AM, PDT
Colombia's "Killing Jesus," a participant in 2015's Berlinale International Co-production Market, will world premiere Saturday at the Toronto Film Festival. The Colombia-Argentina co-production was co-written by Laura Mora, ("Escobar, El Patron del Mal") and prominent Colombian screenwriter Alonso Torres ("Dog Eat Dog").
Colombia's 64-a Films and Argentina's Az Films co-produced the semi-autobiographical revenge-drama. Latido Films, one of Spain's powerhouse sales agents, has acquired international sales rights. Cine Colombia will release in Colombia on March 8.
Loosely based on actual events in the director's own life, the film turns on the assassination of a university professor as witnessed by his daughter Lita, who catches a quick glimpse of the drive-by assassin speeding away on the back of a motorbike. Frustrated with the lack of attention and progress made by the local police, Lita and her family have all but give up on ever finding out what happened until one night out at a club »

The Enugu State Governor, Mr Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, has flagged-off 35 projects across the 17 Local Government Areas of the state.
The projects consist of 25 roads, water schemes, electricity, hospitals, and buildings, among others.
Mr Ugwuanyi, who was represented at the various sites by members of the State Executive Council on Saturday, said the flag-off of the projects was in keeping with his administration's promise to drive development to every corner of the state with the aim of creating more urban centres to boost economic growth and improve the lives of the people.
He noted that the events not only represented a concrete step towards the implementation of the projects, but also "stand as another practical demonstration and capacity to fulfil our promises to the people of Enugu State, despite the severe economic constraints facing the country today".
The governor said that "the state government have commenced the construction of eight major roads across the state, adding that it is committed to the execution of development projects in each of the 17 Local Government Areas of the state this year".
He also said "each of these projects was identified and specified by stakeholders in the respective Local Government Areas where they will be executed", further noting that two projects would be executed in each of the Council area in the first phase.
In each of the Council Area, it was an exultant mood as the people who turned out en masse to witness the ceremony applauded Gov. Ugwuanyi for his vision and steadfastness in extending development to the rural areas.
In Udi Local Government Area, where the Deputy Governor of the state, Mrs. Cecilia Ezeilo represented the governor, the people of the area said the event was a welcome development that would create access to their farmlands and boost the local economy.
In Nkanu East Local Government Area, the people were elated that the governor has broken the jinx of being the only council in the state without an access to the headquarters.
In Enugu East Local Government Area, where the construction of Onu-Nwaene-Ebor Ndiuno to Akpuoga road project was flagged off, the community described the event as "the happiest day in their land".
It was a similar enthusiasm in Nsukka zone as the people noted that they have never witnessed such determination to open up the rural areas.
In Igbo-Eze North Local Government, the community described the six electricity and two borehole projects that were inaugurated as historic, noting that they deeply appreciate the good works of their governor and also honoured to be a part of the change era in their community.


text: Newcomer of the Year: Mass WWD celebrates the newcomer of the year in the mass category. WWD Staff HAIR RULES Born out of the seemingly simple idea that hair products should be created for texture rather than ethnicity, Hair Rules, launched in 2008 by hairstylist Anthony Dickey and model Kara Young Georgiopoulos, was ahead of its time. As America's multiethnic landscape continues to evolve and change the dynamics of the beauty business, 2012 marked a year that retailers began to take note. Looking to stock their shelves with products for consumers whose beauty needs surpassed those of their demographic delineations, Hair Rules enjoyed a distribution explosion. In March, the brand, which generated retail sales estimated to be between $3 million and $4 million this year, entered 184 Target doors, about 400 Walgreens stores, drugstore.com and ShopNBC. The brand also beefed up its online presence, with the first Hair Rules online question-and-answer series, in which Dickey personally addressed customers' hair queries via video blog, further driving sales and educational content for consumers. For Dickey, who introduced four new products in 2012, including the brand's first to address finer and straighter textures, the underlying message remains clear: "There is no one-size-fits-all. It is a multitextured world," he said, adding that a Hair Rules kids' line will bow in 2013.

The International Monetary Fund said Thursday its analysis did not point to Greece having to restructure its debt, noting that Athens had hundreds of billion of euros in assets it could sell.
Greece is being supported by an IMF/European Union rescue package worth 110 billion euros ($155 billion), but there is a widespread belief on financial markets that it will need another 60 billion euros over the next two years.
IMF director for Europe Antonio Borges told a press conference hosted by the European Central Bank that the aid programme's last review in February determined that Greece's debt was sustainable.
"In those circumstances there is no need for any debt restructuring," he said.
Financial markets and economists are questioning whether Greece might have to extend repayment periods or reimburse less than the full amounts it owes.
Despite a huge effort last year, the country failed to meet deficit reduction goals as the economy shrank faster than expected.
In Athens, Greek officials urged calm on Thursday after a dozen people were hurt during protests over tough austerity measures to deal with the crisis.
Wednesday's clashes occured as Greece came in for a critical audit of its books by experts from the EU, IMF and ECB.
The next appraisal of Greek aid is to be released in June but "at this point, on the basis of our programme we think that Greece should be moving in the right direction," Borges said.
Analysts at Barclays Capital disagreed, saying in a research note: "As a result of weak growth and sizeable fiscal slippages, Greece has reached the point where, under realistic scenarios, debt dynamics are unsustainable.
"The countdown to restructuring has started, in our view."
RBS economist Jacques Cailloux added: "Markets appear ever less inclined to accept political reassurances and instead take their cue from leaks on debt restructuring."
On Wednesday, EU economic affairs commissioner Olli Rehn acknowledged that a "large part" of the Greek banking system could "become insolvent" if the public debt were restructured.
In Germany, where opposition to more financial aid for indebted eurozone partners is strong, Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble stressed Thursday that Athens would have to respect a strict agenda in exchange for further help.
"We will not be able to agree to further measures without clear conditions," he told lawmakers in parliament.
IMF director Borges noted meanwhile that the Greek government held hundreds of billions of euros in real-estate and "other very valuable assets," and said some should be sold to "provide an additional element of credibility to the Greek situation."
Borges said "the government has an extraordinary portfolio of assets" and that the gradual sale of some, including holdings in listed companies, would "be most welcome."
An agency which owned the state's real-estate assets had by itself a balance sheet of "about 280 billion euros," the IMF official said.
The latest EU estimate of Greece's debt put it at around 329 billion euros.
Athens had already committed itself to a programme of privatisations worth about 50 billion euros, Borges noted, before adding that "is probably less than 20 percent of all the assets that the Greeks could privatise."
In its latest economic outlook for Europe, the IMF said that while urgent EU measures had kept debt woes in Greece, Ireland and Portugal from overwhelming the eurozone so far, "contagion to the core euro area, and then onward to emerging Europe, remains a tangible downside risk."

FROM teenage girls to old school rockers, they all dared to bare in the name of body art.
There wasn't a person with a blank body slate in sight at this year's Portsmouth Tattoo Convention, which attracted hundreds of people from across the UK to top up their tats.
The event, now in its 15th year, encompasses all aspects of tattoo culture and boasts a huge range of alternative lifestyle attractions and entertainment.
And in the city Guildhall's main room it was literally buzzing with the sound of tattoos guns firing a riot of colour and designs.
People of all ages and from all across the country gritted their teeth to brave the pain in the name of having some incredible ink.
From skulls and devils to large fish and even an iconic image of Jesus, no two tattoos – or their reasons for having them – were the same.
For Southampton teenager Molly McDermott, tears fill her eyes as she explains tattoos gave her back her self confidence after she spent years battling anorexia.
And the 19-year-old, who was spontaneously getting a tattoo of a gorilla on her knee by Southampton artist Tom Hayball from Ginger Tom's Tattoo Studio, said she couldn't imagine life without them.
"They have boosted my confidence and self esteem a lot. A lot of people stop me and ask about the tattoos.
"I get so many comments but all good and it's given me an identity and individuality. I have no intention of being fully covered but if I like something, I go for it. Life's too short not to."
Molly, who works at the RSPCA clinic in Shirley, added: "People can be so ignorant about tattoos but they don't know how much they can mean for people."
While for some, choosing a meaningful tattoo can take months of careful planning, their art that lasts a lifetime is a split-second decision.
Will Butcher, from Lymington, who is training to be an apprentice at Ginger Tom's, has lost count of how many tattoos he has.
Today the 22-year-old has had an iconic image of Jesus inked on his upper thigh.
Tattoo by Ginger Tom's Tattoo Studio
"I just thought 'why not?' it's a classic tattoo and Tom gave it a bit of twist."
Tom, whose studio is in Bedford Place, said gone are the days of people deliberating over designs.
"Today tattoos are much more accepted in society. Often people, especially the younger generation, just like something and have it there and then, but attitudes are changing. Before long you'll walk down the street and say 'look at that guy with no tattoo'."
At first sight Karen Lewis could be that person with no tattoos.
By day she's a teacher and has to cover them up. But actually the 50-year-old is far more comfortable in her shorts and T-shirt showing off her body art.
"I've lost count of how many I've got. I can't stop – they are addictive," says Karen who came to the convention from Peckham in London.
Today she's getting the word 'hell' tattooed on her left arm by Mr Nu, a traditional Thai tattooist from Bangkok.
"A lot of my tattoos relate to horror movies or vampires. Nobody would know."
In contrast, everyone knows about builder and rockabilly Shaun Riley's tattoos.
"Look at that," he says pointing to a scar running the length of his lower arm.
"I severed the artery going through a window in a fight and that scar is now the backbone of a scorpion!"
Mike Millward, of Ink'd Up in Maybush, Southampton, who tattooed a portrait of rapper 50 Cent at the convention, said when it comes to tattoos, anything is possible.
Tattoo by Ink'd Up
"No matter how old you are or where you're from, there are no limits."
With that, Fenya, the snake dancer, walks past the stands with her reptile Julius wrapped around her neck and tattooed torso.
Mike adds: "It's about making yourself different from the crowd. There is no better canvas than the skin."
