Film Studies allows you to explore the history and theory of cinema, alongside issues of genre and the impact of digital technologies on this rapidly changing art form. A combination of core and optional modules will give you a good grounding in the concepts and approaches in film studies while allowing you to explore film from Hollywood to Japan and Korea, art house to blockbusters. With the support of the Centre for World Cinemas at Leeds you'll have a wide range of options to choose from.
If you have A-level Italian or equivalent, Italian A will allow you to become fluent in a major European language while exploring Italys fascinating history and rich culture. Core modules will develop your language skills and introduce you to Italian cinema, art, literature or history. But youll also choose from an array of optional modules that reflect our diverse research interests, from Dante and Renaissance art to the writings of Italo Calvino, or specialised uses of Italian in business.Back to top
Course content
A Joint Honours degree allows you to study the same core topics as students on each Single Honours course, but you'll take fewer options and discovery modules so you can fit in both subjects. You'll study one of our Cornerstone modules in Year 1 to draw your two subjects together, and apply your knowledge and skills to a major research project in either subject in your final year.
Film Studies
Core modules will introduce you to concepts and approaches in film studies in your first year. In the following year, you'll think about questions of genre around the world and choose from optional modules on topics such as German cinema and cult movies. In your final year you'll continue to benefit from this flexibility with diverse optional modules on offer, but you'll also investigate the rise of digital technology in cinema and refine your research and critical skills by embarking on an extended research project.
Italian A
In your first year core studies will improve your language skills and introduce you to Italian history and visual culture. Following this youll mix language study with optional modules on topics such as regional identities in Italy. Youll then spend your time abroad working or studying in Italy, and bring a new perspective to advanced language classes in your final year. Youll also choose further optional modules from Italian in business contexts to Italian history and culture.

Netflix has exclusively hosted the inner workings of Washington, the Bluths and women's prisons, and it will now extend its reach to the super heroics of the Marvel universe with a new four-series deal.
But don't expect Thor or Iron Man. Netflix is digging deep into the Marvel superhero barrel.
Daredevil, Luke Cage, Iron First and Jessica Jones will each be given a 13-episode live-action series, exclusive to Netflix, starting next year. And in typical Marvel fashion, the series will culminate in the crossover miniseries "The Defenders."
No other details -- casts, creative teams, etc. -- have been announced. (You can safely bet that Ben Affleck won't resume his role as "Daredevil's" titular hero Matt Murdock.)
If the other heroes don't ring a bell, don't worry -- each is a bit more obscure than his or her big-screen counterpart. "Hero for hire" Luke Cage debuted in 1972, followed by martial arts master Iron Fist in 1974, and Jessica Jones debuted in the 2001 series "Alias." None has achieved the prominence of Thor or Iron Man.
Unfamiliarity aside, Marvel promises to take viewers into "the gritty world of heroes and villains of Hell's Kitchen, New York."
For a sense of the range of Disney's upcoming Marvel projects:
"Thor: The Dark World" opens this weekend; the sequel "Captain America: "The Winter Soldier" as well as "Guardians of the Galaxy" launch next year, followed by "Avengers: Age of Ultron" and an Ant-Man film in 2015. Assuming it remains on air, the TV series "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D" will run alongside those films.
Then there are the frequent hints that characters Doctor Strange and Black Panther will eventually make their way to theaters. Robert Downey Jr. is signed on for an inevitable third Avengers film. And Marvel president of production Kevin Feige has alluded to a road map leading up to 2021. Combine that with theme park plans, animated shows and upcoming Marvel films not led by Disney and you can bet that the public won't be seeing the last of Marvel superheroes for some time to come.

Existential nomad: A profile of author Ruben Martinez
In Rubén Martinez's new memoir, Desert America: Boom and Bust in the New Old West, the author examines the fertility kit that he and his wife had ordered, taking particular interest in its clean hypodermic syringes and needles. It is 2007, and the couple is living beneath northern New Mexico's famed Black Mesa, in Velarde, among Hispanos, descendants of 16th century Spanish colonists who now mostly live in crushing poverty with some of the highest rates of heroin addiction in the world. It is late winter; their beloved dog has just been found mysteriously dead on the road; the landscape has become forbidding, the isolation torturous. And Martinez, who admits that he's "experimented with most every substance deemed controlled by the DEA," ponders how easily he could use the kit's contents to shoot up.
"That's an intense place to start," he chides when I ask him about it, moments after we sit down at a coffee shop in Los Angeles' Echo Park neighborhood. "There's no real way to prepare for that." I've known Martinez for more than two decades as a man of many identities: In the early 1990s, we worked together at the LA Weekly, where he reported from Central America, Mexico City and sometimes just the restless streets of Los Angeles; later, I caught him onstage in Joshua Tree, Calif., and discovered he has a resonant tenor to match his gifts as a writer. Today, at 50, he teaches literature and writing at Loyola Marymount University, and looks properly professorial -- dressed in a white shirt and blue jeans, his short graying hair artfully windblown. But in Desert America, he reveals yet another self: A cultural nomad, roaming the desert like so many before him, searching for home.
"Alienation was a productive place to write from," says Martinez, who grew up in the "in-between" place of Los Angeles, the son of a Mexican-American fan of John Ford Westerns, and his Salvadoran wife, a poet and psychologist. At 24, after he heard the Clash's Sandinista! -- the epic three-record vinyl the British punk band named for the Nicaraguan resistance -- he left Los Angeles for El Salvador with the intention of becoming a poet. He switched to journalism, he says, "because there was a war on, and I didn't think I could find an audience for reporting through poetry." His life as a foreign correspondent cemented his developing voice as that of an outsider -- a stance that, he realizes now, also absolved him of responsibility for the people around him, including his neighbors in Velarde. "I feel like I failed them," he says. "And those failures stand for something big."
He did not use those fertility-kit syringes. Looking back now, Martinez remembers that moment mostly as a yearning for "communion with my neighbors" -- the drug users next door, Rose and José, whose domestic disputes tore through the night. "I was looking out at the Black Mesa," he remembers, which, after months of isolation and loss, "had become this funereal sight to us. And I saw Rose, sitting in the sun, in the window. I thought, 'I can't get close to you. I can't talk to you. It's too scary. But we share (addiction).' " Martinez's wife, HCN contributor Angela Garcia, discussed this same phenomenon in her 2010 book, The Pastoral Clinic, "about how using together is a bond that can be the saving grace of someone's life," Martinez says. Getting high together is a way of belonging.
Desert America asks more questions about belonging in the desert West -- not only about who belongs there, but about what belongs to whom. It's as if Martinez is holding court for everyone with a case for native status (or, as he puts it, "indigeneity"), as well as everyone who claims rights to a place and its resources. Neither the Hispanos nor the Forest Guardians nor the East Coast artists colonizing the Mojave emerge from his analysis unscathed. All identities turn out to be suspect -- Martinez's self-assigned position on the margins, the perennial outsider, most of all.
"In this book, I finally wrote myself out of my outsiderness," Martinez says. Though he remains a nomad, at least physically -- he and Angela split their time between Oakland and Los Angeles -- "existentially, my home is all these different places. My home is the West, my home is the desert, my home is the border fence. Wherever I go, somebody could say 'Hey, I have a deed from King Carlos V that says I've been here 15 more generations than you.' And I'd say, 'That's cool.' But I'm still from here."

Kristen Stewart Goes Live
Kristen Stewart's warming up for the last leg of her Twilight tour – and this is a brilliant way to do it. After botching her initial response to the cheating debacle, she's executed a series of stronger, savvier plays (and she needs to if she wants to not be enveloped by her personal life, which was a real danger just a month ago). What a difference a few months makes. Is this the same person who issued a public apology for her private actions? The one who swore never to speak about her relationship and then wailed, "I love him, I love him, I love him" to PEOPLE magazine?
It was Stewart's desperate and ill-advised apology that kept that story going. As has been said before, when she issued that statement, she gave Twihards (and even casual gossips) an opening into her life. She was weakened and had lost control – someone in control doesn't offer a public apology for something so pedestrian. She was begging for forgiveness from people she hadn't wronged.
But now Stewart is bouncing back from a public relations miscalculation and I don't mean the affair – no one is clutching their pearls over infidelity in Hollywood, especially not when it involves a 22-year-old and her heartthrob boyfriend. Balenciaga has set up a 30-minute interview with her, to be aired live online on October 18 with no press access or password required, meaning everyone can watch it on Balenciaga's website and Facebook page. (My first thought: can they handle the Twihard traffic?) And to add to the fan frenzy, people can submit as many questions as they like (click here if you want to participate). Which questions get through is up to moderators (only 20 can be picked), so these Twihards have their work cut out for them. I mean imagine the honour of getting to say, "We LOve u KristeN and LIbertY ROSS is a DUMBSKanK LOL." Because there's a loud, vocal majority of Stewart's fans who actually think that.
But of course those questions won't get through; the interview is being moderated by a French fashion editor and it will focus on Kristen's role as brand ambassador. I love this partnership. I especially love how Balenciaga just shrugged their shoulders at the whole cheating escapade and didn't release a statement saying they were "disappointed" or dropping her; they didn't treat her like an overgrown child without a vagina. I imagine that among a certain set, the affair might have even made her a bit cooler, more grown-up, more on-brand for a European house. They aren't sticking with Stewart because they have to, they are sticking with her because she's never been hotter. And they are also keenly aware of her fanbase, hence the interview hashtag, #KStewlive. You think she would want to get away from the KStew stuff as much as possible (because KStew inevitably leads to Robsten), but when you have a perfume to sell, and a movie, it's better to be pragmatic than prideful. The press release included approved photos and didn't shy away from mentioning Snow White and the Huntsman.
Will the fans buy the perfume? Maybe. Will they watch the video? Hell yes. If her number one goal was to sell perfume, she would have signed her own deal and be on Wal-Mart's shelves for $40. This is big picture for her, building towards an upscale, arty brand far away from bed sheets and key chains. (Lainey: keyword "BRAND". This girl is a business now.) She's handling her sh-t the way Julia Roberts, Halle Berry, and her friend Charlize Theron would – she's showing her A-list ambition. SO much better than offering herself up for trial by morality jury. (Lainey: or diving into a dumpster every time someone wants to take her picture.)
Fandom, scandal and social media will get Balenciaga the attention it wants, and Stewart's figuring out how to bring her fans into the fold when she needs them (plus she doesn't have to play with traditional media outlets to pimp her endorsement). It's capitalizing without pandering. It's what Angelina Jolie does very well.
Attached - images of Stewart as released by Balenciaga and photos from Sunday when she was at the Florence & The Machine show with her dad.

The United Nations yesterday irrevocably repudiated the principles upon which it was founded some seven decades ago as the world emerged from a genocidal war vowing "never again."
Ostensibly, of course, the General Assembly voted merely to upgrade the status of "the state of Palestine" — which doesn't in fact exist and which isn't likely to, in any real sense, for some time to come.
But the vote was a giant step toward UN recognition of such a thing — that is to say, the creation of a Turtle Bay bolthole for the agglomeration of terrorists, Islamists, cutthroats, thieves and backstabbers who now animate Palestinian politics.
In so doing, the UN lowered its own status — at least in the eyes of folk who believe in what's supposed to be the once-upon-a-time honorable body's core values: global peace, security, the rule of law, negotiation.
And in the eyes of those — like us (and even the UN itself, ostensibly) — who think the state of Israel has a right to exist.
What a disgrace: By extending its "Non-member Observer" label to an entity it unilaterally calls "Palestine," a world body that arose from the ashes of the Second World War and was looked to in desperation to ensure global peace has lent its prestige to a movement bent on the extermination of a peaceful, democratic state: Israel.
Or such prestige as remains, that is. The United Nations has been traveling down this road for some time now.
Let's be clear.
One can always hope for the eventual emergence of a Palestinian state dedicated to a peaceful coexistence with Israel.
But that will never happen while Palestinians and their murderous enablers in Iran and in the Islamist movements worldwide surrender their fantasies of extinguishing the Jewish state.
Don't hold your breath.
Indeed, yesterday's UN vote only made that less likely. Because what Turtle Bay did, coming hard on the heels of a round of Hamas-inspired violence in Gaza, was to reward the concept of statehood-by-terror; it sent a stark message that peace and negotiation are for suckers; that violence, terror and bullying will win the day.
How ironic. And sad.
True, it is Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas who has pushed the bid for unilateral UN recognition. In recent years, Abbas' faction — based in the West Bank — has been somewhat less radical and violent. And it's nominally distinct from the more openly terroristic Hamas in Gaza.
But making distinctions of any sort between Palestinian factions is a mug's game — to say nothing of making actual policy decisions based on such differences.
The Palestinians have to sort out their own rivalries — which will be a long and bloody process — before they are fit negotiating partners for anyone.
For the UN, none of that matters. Fact is, it long ago lost its way — along with its credibility, its legitimacy and its honor.
Yesterday's vote only reinforced that.

Two weeks ago I did five posts on mentoring, and based on that I received a couple interesting notes, here is one, posted with the permission of the sender:
"I have been in the position of having a mentor. A good mentor is the best friend and guide you can have. Of course, a bad mentor can do serious damage. When I began seriously coding in Perl I had the most wonderful mentor. He worked with a group of us: answering questions, suggesting ways to do things or areas we should research, but never actually doing our work for us. He made us learn. And daily he held a half hour group session when we covered one command or question or just some batch of code we all wanted to understand better.
In all my years in computers, I think I learned more in the years I had a mentor than in all the years I tried to figure things out for myself. A good mentor doesn't just give you the answer, he forces you to think and reason out the answer. He's a guide, saving hours in needless research, but providing the tools and knowledge to point us to the answers. He doesn't try to force his way of thinking on you, he discusses and tosses ideas around, and with brainstorming and involvement comes understanding and learning. Mentors involve you in your own learning process, and I believe everyone learns better when they feel a part of the process, not the brunt of it."
Imagine having that kind of impact on another person!

TAMPA – Friday was report card day for Hillsborough County elementary school students, but some parents will have to wait a little longer to see their children's grades.
It is all because of a typo – the word "satisfactory" was misspelled on a school district template that all schools use to print off their report cards.
The error was caught Thursday and fixed, but it created a setback for schools that had already printed their report cards. The district created a label for schools to use to cover up the mistake.
"We're trying to help the schools out," district spokesman Stephen Hegarty said. "It's our mistake."
On Thursday, Wynne Tye, assistant superintendent of curriculum and instruction, sent an email to principals, notifying them that report card distribution would be delayed until Monday for all elementary schools.
"I recognize that many schools have already completed the printing and stuffing of the report cards and understand that the error places an additional burden on you and your school personnel," Tye wrote.
After some principals reported they corrected the error before sending out report cards, and others said they were able to create a second batch quickly, the district sent another email Friday. It gives schools the choice of sending report cards home Friday as planned or waiting until Monday.
Parents whose students attend schools that will be delaying report cards until Monday were alerted Friday afternoon.
Middle and high school report cards will be handed out to students on Nov. 12.

Yonny Hernandez looks set to miss the final round of MotoGP at Valencia, as the Colombian continues his recovery from injury. Hernandez suffered a dislocated collarbone in a crash during the race at Motegi, an injury which forced him to miss both the Malaysian and the Australian rounds of MotoGP.
The place of Hernandez in the BQR Avintia team is to be taken at Valencia by Hiroshi Aoyama. The last ever 250 World Champion suffered a difficult 2012 season in World Superbikes with the Ten Kate Honda squad, Aoyama never getting comfortable with the Pirelli tires used in WSBK.
Aoyama has been looking to return to MotoGP since the latter part of this season, the Japanese rider spotted in serious talks with a number of teams at the Aragon round of MotoGP at the end of September. Aoyama now looks set to take the place of Hernandez in the BQR Avintia team permanently in the 2013 season, according to Spanish website Motocuatro.com.

A woman accused of running a dog flipping scam has been arrested.
Police said the unidentified woman pretended a missing dog was her own and then attempted to sell it on Craigslist.
Officials say pet owners need to stay alert to avoid being victims themselves.
"If you've got a purebred animal worth a lot of money, with the economy as bad as it is, people are doing whatever they can to make money," said Marcus Brown with Indianapolis Animal Care and Control.
The woman is charged with theft and attempted theft.
Rosie, the dog she was allegedly trying to sell, has been reunited with her real owners.
Officials say one way to protect your pet is to get them microchipped. The cheapest way to get your pet microchipped is at animal control for $10 flat. You can also check with your local humane society or low-cost spay and neuter clinic for cheap options.

Q. I've been getting migraines for the past few years. What causes them and how can I make them stop, or at least slow down?
Q. I've been getting migraines for the past few years. What causes them and how can I make them stop, or at least slow down?
A. Although science has determined many trigger causes of migraines, there are still speculations as to exactly how a migraine occurs. It's believed to be neurological, involving the widening and constricting of blood vessels in the brain.
Migraines are not to be confused with tension or sinus headaches, which can be painful, but cannot compare to the debilitating throbbing of a migraine. If you are experiencing a throbbing or a constant dull ache on one side of your head (which may stretch from the top of your head to your jaw or neck) and are feeling sensitive to light, smell and sound, you are most likely experiencing a migraine.
These types of headaches can last from 4 to 72 hours and often interfere with work and daily activities. Triggers include stress, food allergies, hormonal changes or even lost sleep. If you experience symptoms of an oncoming migraine, such as seeing spots or wavy lines, you are experiencing a migraine with aura. These symptoms are usually experienced about 20 minutes to an hour before the migraine begins.
When trying to rid yourself of migraines, pay close attention to when you're getting them, what you were doing and what you ate that day. Keep a log of these details to find out if some of them repeat. This may take a few weeks, but once you narrow it down, you may be able to stop the triggers causing the migraines.
Another factor to pay close attention to is stress. Everyone has stress, and its na�ve to prescribe getting rid of all of it, but if you find yourself "losing it" or feeling overwhelmed, step away from the problem. Make some time for yourself to decompress from the day and remind yourself of the big picture. Stress is rampant in our culture today, but it's up to you to take care of yourself. You don't deserve migraines all the time.
During a migraine, or right before it, there are medications you can take. For pain relief during a mild migraine, try an ibuprofen such as Advil or Motrin. Some of these brands also have drugs specifically for migraines, but be careful of the amount and beware of mixing them. If taken too often for long periods of time, these drugs have side effects as serious as ulcers or gastrointestinal bleeding. Contact your physician if you have any questions.
If you are experiencing debilitating migraines more than once or twice a week, consult your physician about a stronger medication and possibly some tests to make sure there aren't more serious problems.

The Star Market: Is Bradley Cooper an A-Lister Now?
One producer we spoke to calls him "the next Paul Newman."
Hollywood has had trouble growing solid new stars over the last decade, but David O. Russell's dramedy Silver Linings Playbook just happens to feature two of the town's most buzzed-about up-and-comers: Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence. The latter feels almost like an overnight sensation thanks to Winter's Bone and The Hunger Games, but the road to stardom for Cooper has been much longer and hard-fought. He's an inspiration, then, to any jobbing actor who still dreams of making it big, but exactly how big is Cooper now? To find out, we polled industry insiders to ask one simple question: If Bradley Cooper were a stock, would you buy, sell, or hold?
Stock History: Cooper's career really got going in 2001, when he had a small but memorable role (that tall-socked sex scene!) in Wet Hot American Summer, in addition to his highest-profile gig at the time, a supporting part on the Jennifer Garner TV show Alias. Unfortunately, his Alias character was never all that pivotal to Garner's spy story lines, and it wasn't until Cooper left the series as a regular that he began to come into his own with a memorably douchey turn in 2005's Wedding Crashers. That part gave him new heat in town, some of which he spent on TV (starring in the short-lived series Kitchen Confidential and guesting on Nip/Tuck), and on supporting parts in movies like Failure to Launch and Yes Man. Cooper didn't get his first notable leading man role until 2008 … in the dud The Midnight Meat Train, a horror film whose plot (a New York City subway train functions as a passed hors d'oeuvres course for underground lizard people!) is so risible, it almost left nowhere to go except up.
But thanks to the massive success of The Hangover the following year, that's exactly the direction he went. Well, Cooper did go sideways briefly (in a big-screen adaptation of The A-Team, which at least served to make us forget All About Steve), but his stock spiked with Limitless, a modestly priced (under $30 million) drama that would go on to make over $150 million worldwide for the studio, thanks almost entirely to Cooper's winsome performance as a previously luckless writer. Since then, Cooper's continued to balance the high-grossing Hangover films with more modestly priced dramatic outings, including Silver Linings and the upcoming indie entries The Place Beyond the Pines and Serena, the latter of which will reteam him with Jennifer Lawrence under director Susanne Bier.
Peers: Jeremy Renner (41), Ryan Reynolds (36), and Chris Hemsworth (29) are but three of the names mentioned alongside Cooper's as new leading men that Hollywood is trying its damnedest to cultivate; less so Chris Pine (32), whose star power was tarnished this year after twin box-office whiffs This Means War and People Like Us. Like Reynolds, Cooper's got strong female appeal (both have been named People's Sexiest Man Alive) and the ability — and desire — to work in several different genres, from rom-com to drama to action.
Market Value: The power of the Hangover franchise is undeniable, and both of Cooper's previous Hangover films have grossed over $250 million, each setting new records for a blockbuster comedy. But how much value does Cooper himself hold? That's so far unclear. It's true that Limitless was a big hit, and Cooper has co-starred in high-grossing recent rom-coms He's Just Not That Into You and Valentine's Day, but The A-Team was something of a nonstarter, and this year's modest drama The Words was sold almost entirely on Cooper and only grossed $11 million. Then again, in today's moviegoing climate, it seems impossible to find a new Will Smith — a superstar with an unimpeachable box-office record — so maybe Cooper's uneven resume is the new normal.
What Hollywood Thinks: "Bradley is definitely on the short list of new leading men these days, particularly after the great critical reaction so far to Silver Linings," says one former studio production head turned producer. "Now he has both commercial success — Limitless was all due to him — and critical success, so both studios and directors like him a lot."
But the question of whether Bradley Cooper is a capital M movie star probably won't even be decided in his next few films, say insiders, partly because, as this former production chief notes, "most higher-budget stuff these days is more concept-driven than star-driven," and partly because the question of whether true movie stars can be said to still exist must be answered first.
"'Does he sell tickets?' 'Is he a leading man?'" asks one studio marketing high priestess. "I don't know if there is any such thing anymore ... but, yes, in the right genre, he is. With a midsize [budget] and appealing subject matter, he is a plus."
So, to hear one current studio president put it, even if Cooper is not yet able to leap tall buildings in a single bound, he is definitely able to clear edifices of medium size, with a favorable headwind. "He gets a movie green-lit, more than most people," says this studio president. "Maybe not any movie, but a $30 million thriller or action movie? Definitely."
This is echoed by another producer, who unabashedly calls Cooper a big get for any project and "the next Paul Newman." Our marketing guru agrees unabashedly: "I am rooting for him. I think he is super-talented and appealing."
The Analysis: Whether Cooper becomes the next Paul Newman will have a lot to do with whether he is driven to play the darker, more flawed characters (on his best day, Phil from The Hangover is no Hud) that Newman became famous for. Already, this has started to occur with Cooper's turn in Derek Cianfrance's forthcoming The Place Beyond the Pines, in which he plays a cop who turns in his conscience to become a politician.
"You just need to start leaning towards 'edgier' to show some weightiness," advises one top publicist. "The message is fine; he's got the 'likable' thing down. And you'll probably see it shift when the movies start to shift — which they will, soon, unless the agent [representing him] is an idiot and keeps him in the same stuff over and over."
Fortunately, Cooper seems to show no interest in repeating himself … well, aside from the Hangover movies, which provide a steady star burnishing every couple years. Aside from those, he's been admirably eager to work with auteurs like Cianfrance and Bier on their challenging indies, and he's one of the few stars dominating the mid-budget category with entries like Silver Linings, Limitless, and his next two projects, a Cameron Crowe dramedy where he'll star opposite Emma Stone, and a David O. Russell film co-starring Amy Adams and Christian Bale. Those $30 million movies are in short supply these days, but when you can land one that pays off, you get all the credit.
Though his future seems secure for now, then, opinion is divided as to just how big a star Cooper might ultimately become: While our marketing head hazards, "he just needs the right material and then he gets to jump up [to the next level]," our studio chief tempers the outlook a bit.
"Is he a 'Buy'?" asks this president, answering the question, "Well, that depends what he's priced at. I don't know that he has tons more upside that he has now, but for what you pay him now, you get a good return. He's got a nice future."
The Bottom Line: Maybe that long and winding road to stardom was exactly what Cooper needed, because at this point, he's making informed decisions like a pro. Silver Linings has a lot of awards season upside, and even if Cooper can't penetrate the brutally packed Best Actor category at the Oscars, his expert performance will win him even more fans. Beyond that, the guy is doing Hangover III, another drama with Jennifer Lawrence, movies with Cameron Crowe and David O. Russell, and a (hoped-for) Broadway run of The Elephant Man. When you look at that slate, what can you quibble with, really? Bonne chance, Bradley!

Or you can buy garden seeds so the family has produce to eat and sell. Goats are another great income generator because they provide milk and meat.
If you don't feel called to support a specific item in our charitable gifts catalog, designate your gift to "Where Most Needed." Your gift will go to a family in poverty and these gifts are often used to pay for urgent medical care, food, water, shelter, and other immediate needs.
Your gift donation to a family in poverty is appreciated by the recipients and their communities. Donate through our charitable gifts catalog today.
Give gifts that make an impact for children in poverty.
Gifts from this catalog will not go directly to your sponsored child. Compassion staff at each of our centers work to identify Compassion-assisted children and their families with the highest needs. We want to be sure that your gifts through this catalog will go to the children and families who need them most.
Gifts shown here illustrate goods and services used in Compassion's holistic child development program. All contributions designated for specific funds will be applied to those projects and to administering the gifts. We desire to be good stewards of your gift, and when we receive more contributions for a given fund than we can use, we apply those funds to meet similar pressing needs. Contributions are solicited with the understanding that Compassion International has control over the use of all donated funds. At least 80 percent of your gift will go to programs that directly benefit Compassion children, babies and students.
Some suggested amounts are actual costs based on field needs, while others, including water wells, bathrooms and electricity, are an average amount per child, based on the need of an entire Compassion center. While we've attempted to base gift amounts on average amounts requested to help children in our program, these are truly suggested gift amounts. We deeply appreciate any gift amount given.
Yes! All gifts in the catalog are great for year-round giving as well as for Christmas. Consider donating a gift in honor of a friend or family member for a birthday, anniversary or graduation or for holidays like Mother's Day, Father's Day and Grandparent's Day. We also offer special greeting cards to commemorate gifts for many occasions throughout the year.
The "Share the Gift" option lets you participate in donating a higher-cost gift for only a portion of the total suggested amount. Your donation is combined with other "Share the Gift" donations to fund the full gift. But for all gifts, the price listed is simply the suggested gift amount. Compassion will process any donation amount you designate for any gift category.
A variety of greeting card options are available for you to order after checkout.
If ordering by phone, mail or web, recipients should receive your greeting card(s) 10-14 days after we receive the order. Mail orders should factor in the time it takes for us to receive the order in our offices, typically three to five days.
Giving a gift in honor of your friend or family member is as easy as 1, 2, 3.
We have a variety of cards to choose from for all occasions.

Kill Zone: Ultimate Edition (US - DVD R1)
Gabe checks out Dragon Dynasty's first release, also known as Saat Po Long...
I'm starting things off by divulging the fact that this is indeed a US release of Hong Kong's SPL (or Saat Po Long/ Sha Po Lang). The new Asian arm of the Weinstein Company, called Dragon Dynasty, has decided to name it Kill Zone. This title is entirely non sequitur, and means absolutely nothing to the film. There is no specific 'zone' anywhere in the film designated for killing. I'm sure someone at the studio just thought it sounded cool.
While incarcerated and awaiting trial, super-duper mob boss Wong Po (Sammo Hung) sends out the heavies to kill the key witness for the prosecution against him. Detective Chan (Simon Yam) is in the car with the witness and his wife when they are struck by an oncoming vehicle and killed, leaving behind their young daughter, who Chan adopts as his own out of guilt.
Three years later, obsessed and dying of brain cancer, Chan is still hot on Wong Po's trail. He and his men are willing to go to any lengths to see the boss in prison before the cancer gets the best of him. Inspector Ma (Donnie Yen), who will be taking over for the retiring Chan, arrives just in time to step into a complex frame up.
I was very, very disappointed in this film. I'd heard nothing but good about it, and it stars two of my favourite genre pioneers. Perhaps my hopes were too high, but they were dashed nonetheless.
The problem is, mainly and shallowly, that there isn't nearly enough action to go around. There are a few solid and exciting bouts, but they don't do anything to save the overall blandness of the film. The filmmakers even have the balls to tease the audience a few times, setting up a big fight, and totally not delivering. Basically, what you've got here are four or five memorable and uber-fast fight scenes, including a one between genre tyrants Yen and Hung. By the time the final smack down finally arrived, I was too tired to really care.
The general lack of action may not have mattered, had I cared at all about the story or characters. The film tries to blur the lines between good and evil, giving its villain a family, making its heroes criminals, but it all rings hallow. The throw away sequences of super-villain Sammo Hung pining for a child of his own are oversimplified, and all too obvious. Similarly, the good guys spend a little too much time doing the wrong thing, and too little time being at all likable enough for me to have ever actually cared about them. It's as if the screenwriters ran down a checklist of things to make their characters more three-dimensional, without reading the included instructional booklet.
The plot isn't much to celebrate either, as it's basically the same as every other Hong Kong cop thriller, except this time no one's undercover. I like these thrillers, but they do become a bit interchangeable after a while. The only thing to separate Kill Zone is the martial arts sequences, which stand in place of the usual shoot-out sequences, and I've already mentioned that there wasn't enough of that to make it special. I guess I just didn't buy any of it. I didn't buy the characters motivations nor did I buy the outcome, and I verbally called the last act 'shocker' in front of witnesses (or witness) before it happened. Predictability is very unfortunate in a cop thriller.
Something I've always found hard to swallow when watching Hong Kong cinema, old or new, is its unbridled sappiness. Sometimes it works, as in the case of most of John Woo's filmography, and a lot of operatic period pieces, but when it doesn't work it often becomes unintentionally hilarious. Kill Zone falls into the latter category. The film takes place over father's day, and the filmmakers do their best to incorporate the theme of fatherhood into every character. What could've been an intriguing undercurrent is instead a series of unexplored side-plots and laughably shallow sentiment.
The worst case of this unintentional hilarity and unnecessary side-plot comes when one of the subordinates goes to visit his estranged daughter (while the iron is still quite hot, may I add), is handed a father's day gift, and is promptly killed before he gets a chance to open it. The camera cuts to a wide shot of his dead body stuck in pose, reaching for the unopened box as the music swells. I haven't laughed so hard in weeks.
I like the fact that the film looks as if it was made in the early '90s. It looks like a Ringo Lam or John Woo movie, where everything is over stylized, and the colours are saturated. I like the unworldly cool blues; it takes me back to the Hong Kong action cinema I actually like. Kill Zone keeps its head above water by bringing back the memories of classics of the era (which I'm made to understand, was kind of the point of the film in the first place).
I also liked the performances, especially the three leads, Donnie Yen, Sammo Hung, and Simon Yam. Yen has a totally thankless role, but has the warmth of character to overcome the part's shortcomings. Yam is a bit too stoic, but has an undeniable screen presence. I was most happy with Hung, who I've never seen as a bad guy. It's a smidgen hard to take him entirely seriously as a monstrous crime boss, but unlike so many other classic Kung Fu stars, Hung can really act, without ever over-doing it.
Kill Zone is presented in what I am assuming is its original 1.78:1 aspect ratio (you never know when it come to a company run by the Weinstein's). The wild colour pallet and bright hues look fantastic. Details are crisp, and grain is minimal. I noticed no overt and unwanted noise. Black levels are spot on. The only problem with the transfer is that it's too sharp, and there is a constant presence of edge-enhancement. Besides this, what we've got here is another great transfer from a Weinstein's subsidiary.
The Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS soundtracks are massively aggressive. This may be a case of the studio actually over-doing the soundtrack, but it's an arguable point. When people hit each other there is an inordinate amount of bass. Though no doubt intentional, and though it adds a hyper-realism to the film, it's pretty silly that almost every hit has the exact same level of bass behind it. It gets to the point where a pat on the shoulder threatens to knock the viewer of his or her couch.
The rest of the track is just as over-the-top, but the directional effects work quite well, and every single sound effect is crystal clear. I didn't really like the musical score very much, it was too soap opera for my taste, but it sounds just as great as the rest of the track. My only complaint here is that the music has a tad too much reverb. I ignored the English dub track.
"Ultimate Edition", huh? Hmmm. Well, when you list everything, it certainly looks like a features packed disc, but a closer look reveals a commentary track, some interviews, and a trailer disguised as a making-of featurette. The commentary track, with Dragon Dynasty DVD producer Bey Logan, who actually earns his on-box title of 'Hong Kong movie expert', is the disc's best extra. Logan talks fast and drops facts with ease, while still finding time for personal opinions, something other commentary experts often lack.
The first disc also includes two behind the scenes segments, entitled "Anatomy of a Scene". These are made up of on set footage, and don't last too long. I personally prefer narrative walkthroughs on this kind of thing rather than raw footage, but I suppose they do offer a behind the scenes glimpses into the process.
The second disc is made up of interviews with the main cast and director. For the most part, these consist of a talking head, inter-spliced with raw behind the scenes footage (some of which can be seen on the 'Anatomy of a Scene' segments. I'm just not a fan of listening to a single person talk for fifteen to fifty minutes. I like intercut interviews. It's just a personal taste thing. Aesthetic issues aside, the interviews aren't very interesting either. Everyone talks about basically the same stuff, the project's genesis, the meaning behind the original Hong Kong title, etc.. Not only do these guys tend to repeat each other, but Logan also covered this stuff in his commentary.
Yen's interview is the best, and by far the longest. I hate to admit that my ability to maintain interest in what he was saying may have something to do with the fact that he speaks English, but the fact of the matter is that he's the only interview not in Cantonese. Yen seems to have more to say about the project than even director Wilson Yip, leading me to believe that his action direction may have bleed into performance direction at some points. Yam and Hung both don't seem very interested in being interviewed, and frankly neither has the involving personality Yen does. Up and comer Jacky Wu (who plays Hung's blonde-haired assassin) does a bit better with his interview, mostly because he spends time talking about himself, and comes at the project as a beginner.
The so-called 'Making-Of Documentary' is actually little more than an ad-like mash-up of the other special features, and runs only about ten minutes. It's not worth the time. Fans of the film will get the most out of Logan's commentary and Yen's interview. The rest of the features are pretty skipable.
I'm sure scoring this film as merely average will make some readers fume at me, but I didn't see anything here that would require me to score it any differently. I recommend that kung-fu fans rent the DVD and utilize the chapter skip button to watch the fight sequences, because I got nothing out of the story. The acting and action is great, I admit, but they don't save a boring, derivative, and sometimes laughably sappy plot. The DVD has an awesome transfer, and a wicked DTS soundtrack, but the Ultimate Edition features leave quite a bit to be desired.

Revision as of 17:05, 24 June 2013
This page is for individuals who want to make a contribution to an Eclipse project via Git or Gerrit.
There's more information for committers on the [Development Resources/Handling Git Contributions|Handling Git Contributions] page.
If you want to contribute to an Eclipse project, you should first communicate with that project. Communication takes many forms, but generally occurs on a project's "dev" list, or via Bugzilla.
You can find the appropriate entry points on the project's page on the forge:
- Find an Eclipse project
- Find a LocationTech project
The Commit Record
Minimally, your Git commit record must have the following:
- A single line summary in the comment field, followed by a more detailed descriptive paragraph;
- Your credentials (email address) captured in the "Author" field; and
- A "Signed-off-by" entry with matching credentials in the comment.
If applicable, a reference to the Bug that is addressed by the commit is a helpful addition.
For example:
commit 862e6ff22ad56c10df6de3385ffa4c7d02363d1d Author: Joe Somebody <email@example.com> Date: Mon Jun 17 17:19:38 2013 -0700 Auto share multiple projects in single job When multiple projects are imported together, perform all the necessary auto shares in a single job rather than spawning a separate job for each project. Bug: 410937 Signed-off-by: Joe Somebody <firstname.lastname@example.com>
The "Signed-off-by" entry is required. By including this, you confirm that you are in compliance with the Certificate of Origin.
Signing off on a commit
Both Git and EGit have built-in support for signing off on a commit.
From command-line Git, add -s to the command:
git commit -s -m "Auto share multiple projects in single job"
From EGit, there is a handy button in the commit dialog box:
Eclipse Foundation Contributor License Agreement
Before you commit can be accepted by the project, you need to create and electronically sign the Eclipse Foundation Contributor License Agreement (CLA).
To create a CLA:
- Create an account with the Eclipse Foundation if you have not already done so;
- An Eclipse Account will grant you access to Gerrit, Bugzilla, and other Eclipse Foundation web resources.
- Use the same account to contribute to Eclipse, LocationTech, and PolarSys projects.
- Sign a CLA.
- Log into the Eclipse projects forge;
- Click on "Contributor License Agreement"; and
- Complete the form.
Be sure to use the same email address when you register for the account that you intend to use on Git commit records.
A Word about Eclipse Foundation Accounts
The Eclipse Foundation maintains multiple separate forges. The same user account applies for all forges. If you, for example, create an account on eclipse.org, that same account can be used on LocationTech or PolarSys. A signed CLA is connected to your Eclipse Foundation account; this means that with the single valid CLA on file, you can contribute to any project on any of the forges.

Dental Implants Fresh Meadows NY
Dental implants are changing the way people live. They are designed to provide a foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. The person who has lost teeth regains the ability to eat virtually anything, knowing that teeth appear natural and that facial contours will be preserved. Patients with dental implants can smile with confidence.
The dental implants themselves are tiny titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone where teeth are missing. These metal anchors act as tooth root substitutes. The bone bonds with the titanium, creating a strong foundation for artificial teeth. Small posts that protrude through the gums are then attached to the dental implant. These posts provide stable anchors for artificial replacement teeth.
Adirondack Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery conveniently provide Dental Implants near Fresh Meadows NY. Visit our services page for more information about Dental Implants.
Wisdom Tooth Removal Fresh Meadows NY
By the age of 18, the average adult has 32 teeth; 16 teeth on the top and 16 teeth on the bottom. Each tooth in the mouth has a specific name and function. The teeth in the front of the mouth (incisors, canine, and bicuspid teeth) are ideal for grasping and biting food into smaller pieces. The back teeth (molar teeth) are used to grind food up into a consistency suitable for swallowing.
The average mouth is made to hold only 28 teeth. It can be painful when 32 teeth try to fit in a mouth that holds only 28 teeth. These four other teeth are your third molars, also known as " wisdom teeth ."
Wisdom teeth are the last teeth to erupt within the mouth. When they align properly and gum tissue is healthy, wisdom teeth do not have to be removed. Unfortunately, this does not generally happen. The extraction of wisdom teeth is necessary when they are prevented from properly erupting within the mouth. They may grow sideways, partially emerge from the gum, and even remain trapped beneath the gum and bone. Impacted teeth can take many positions in the bone as they attempt to find a pathway that will allow them to successfully erupt.
Adirondack Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery conveniently provide Wisdom Tooth Removal near Fresh Meadows NY. Visit our services page for more information about Wisdom Tooth Removal.
TMJ Disorders Fresh Meadows NY
TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorders are a family of problems related to your complex jaw joint. If you have had symptoms like pain or a "clicking" sound, you'll be glad to know that these problems are more easily diagnosed and treated than they were in the past. These symptoms occur when the joints of the jaw and the chewing muscles (muscles of mastication) do not work together correctly. TMJ stands for temporomandibular joint, which is the name for each joint (right and left) that connects your jaw to your skull. Since some types of TMJ problems can lead to more serious conditions, early detection and treatment are important.
No one treatment can resolve TMJ disorders completely and treatment takes time to become effective. Our doctors can help you have a healthier and more comfortable jaw.

Fire heavily damages Hillsborough home
HILLSBOROUGH - A two-alarm fire heavily damaged a home at 43 Hemlock St. Saturday afternoon, and fire officials believe it started around the woodstove.
Deputy Fire Chief Scott Murdough said the homeowner had just left the residence when the fire was reported around 2 p.m. By the time the fire was brought under control about 90 minutes later, the interior of the home was heavily damaged, he said.
Murdough said the state fire marshal's office has been called to investigate the cause of the fire but it appears to have started around the stovepipe.
Henniker, Antrim and Deering fire departments provided mutual aid.
