Directions: Suppose you are asked to give advice on whether to attend college at home or abroad, write an essay to state your opinion. You are required to write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.
Nowadays, there has been a heated discussion as to a better choice between attending college at home and abroad. Views on the topic vary greatly among people from different walks of life. Some believe that it is a better choice to study in domestic colleges, but others consider it better to study abroad. I totally agree with the latter idea for the reasons presented below. To begin with, it harms the society in that the greater the competition is, the higher the recruitment requirements will become. Therefore, with experiences of studying abroad, graduates will become more competitive in job hunting. Furthermore, it is beneficial to the students themselves to study abroad. Without the choice to pursue overseas study, many great scholars today would never have achieved such great success. From my perspective, it is crucial that the government should encourage people to pursue overseas study. Also it is crucial that people should understand the meaning and value of attending college abroad. Only in this way can we achieve greater success.
Directions: Suppose you are asked to give advice on whether to major in humanities or science, write an essay to state your opinion. You are required to write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.
Living in a world which is full of changes and challenges,we are confronted with new problems every single day. Of all the issues, one might concern the high school graduates the most, and it is if there are two options: to major in science or humanities. As for me, I prefer the latter.
Why,you may wonder, should I prefer to major in humanities. The reasons responsible for it can be listed as follows .
Among the most important reasons cited by people is that to major in humanities,directly or indirectly,can not only enrich our basic knowledge about the diversified culture but also sharpen one's insight in daily routine,which is of great importance in one's growth.
What's more, to study humanities can give us an independent personality and a deeper vision towards the world, if it were not for those two attributes, how could we achieve great goals in this dog-eat-dog world.
Above all, in such a society where emphasis,more often than not,is laid on the depth of one's thought, to choose humanities as one's major, must be the best way .
To major humanities, so at least it seems to me, is preferable for college students, if they had the chance, in the process of which we will develop an innovative thought mode.
As a proverb goes ,there is no difficulty that an innovative thought mode can not solve, no door that an innovative thought mode can not open, no mountain that an innovative thought mode can not surmount.
Directions: Suppose you are asked to give advice on whether to attend a vocational college or a university, write an essay to state your opinion. You are required to write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.
With the flourish of education industry, modern students are faced with more alternatives to continue their further education. Both attending a vocational college or a university serves as two main options for the high school graduates. In terms of which to choose and what to be taken into consideration, I shall advise as follows:
Primarily, self-orientation matters the most when it comes to a issue like this. Obviously, the main task of vocational college is cultivating human resource with practical capability. Instead, university serves as the cradle of academic researchers in different areas. Therefore, being aware of your self-expectation with a clear future blueprint lays a foundation for this important decision.
Apart from what has been mentioned above, personal interest also plays a key role in it. For both passion and motivation are derived from interest, which not only decide how far you can reach academically and professionally but also how happy and fulfilled you will be .
To sum up, a clear recognition of self orientation and personal interest will decide whether you will tick the box of vocational college or university. Only in this way can we get the most out of the further education.

Part III Reading comprehension (40 minutes)
Directions: In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks. You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet 2 with a single through the center. You may not use any of the word in the bank more than once.
Let's all stop judging people who talk to themselves. New research says that those who can't seem to keep their inner monologues (独白) in are actually more likely to stay on task, remain ___26___ better and show improved perception capabilities. Not bad, really, for some extra muttering.
According to a series of experiments published in the Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology by professors Gary Lupyan and Daniel Swignley, the act of using verbal clues to ___27___ mental pictures helps people function quicker.
In one experiment, they showed pictures of various objects to twenty ___28___ and asked them to find just one of those, a banana. Half were ___29___ to repeat out loud what they were looking for and the other half kept their lips ___30___ . Those who talked to themselves found the banana slightly faster than those who didn't, the researchers say. In other experiments, Lupyan and Swignley found that ___31___ the name of a common product when on the hunt for it helped quicken someone's pace, but talking about uncommon items showed no advantage and slowed you down.
Common research has long held that talking themselves through a task helps children learn, although doing so when you've ___32___ matured is not a great sign of ___33___The two professors hope to refute that idea, ___34___ that just as when kids walk themselves through a process, adults can benefit from using language not just to communicate, but also to help "augment thinking".
Of course, you are still encouraged to keep the talking at library tones and, whatever you do, keep the information you share simple, like a grocery list. At any ___35___ , there's still such a thing as too much information.

[A] The lives of children from rich and poor American families look more different than they have in decades.
[B] Well-off families are ruled by calendars. with children enrolled in ballet. soccer and after-school programs, according to a new Pew Research Center survey There are usually two parents, who spend a lot of time reading to children and worrying about their anxiety levels and hectic schedules
[C] In poor families. however. children tend to spend their time at home or with extended family. the survey found They are more likely to grow up in neighborhoods that their parents say aren't great for raising children. and their parents worry about them getting shot, beaten up or in trouble with the law
[D] The class differences m child rearing are growing, researchers say - a symptom of widening inequality with far-reaching consequences Different upbringings set children on different paths and can deepen socioeconomic divisions. Especially because education is strongly linked to earnings Children grow up learning the skills to succeed in their socioeconomic stratum. but not necessarily others
[E] "Early childhood experiences can be very consequential for children's long-term social, emotional and cognitive development." said Sean F.Reardon. professor of poverty and inequality in education at Stanford University -And because those influence educational success and later earnings. early childhood experiences cast a lifelong shadow" The cycle continues: Poorer parents have less time and fewer resources to invest in their children. which can leave children less prepared for school and work. which leads to lower earnings
[F] American parents want similar things for their children, the Pew report and past research have found: for them to be healthy and happy, honest and ethical, caring and compassionate There is no best parenting style or philosophy, researchers say, and across income groups, 92 percent of parents say they are doing a good
job at raising their children. Yet they are doing it quite differently Middle-class and higher-income parents see their children as projects in need of careful cultivation, says Annette Lareau, a University of Pennsylvania sociologist whose goundbreaking research on the topic was published in her book "Unequal Childhoods: Class, Race and Family Life " They try to develop their skills through close supervision and organized activities, and teach children to question authority figures and navigate elite institutions.
[G] Working-class parents, meanwhile, believe their children will naturally thrive, and give them far greater independence and time for free play They are taught to be compliant and deferential to adults There are benefits to both approaches Working-class children are happier, more independent, whine less and are closer with family members, Ms Lareau found Higher-income children are more likely to declare boredom and expect their parents to solve their problems Yet later on, the more affluent children end up in college and en route to the middle class, while working-class children tend to struggle Children from higher-income families are likely to have the skills to navigate bureaucracies and succeed in schools and workplaces, Ms.Lareau said
[H] "Do all parents want the most success for their children? Absolutely," she said "Do some strategies give children more advantages than others in institutions? Probably they do Will parents be damaging children if they have one fewer organized activity? No, I really doubt it "
[I] Social scientists say the differences arise in part because low-income parents have less money to spend on music class or preschool, and less flexible schedules to take children to museums or attend school events Extracurricular activities epitomize the differences in child rearing in the Pew survey, which was of a nationally representative sample of l,807 parents Of families earning more than $75,000 a year, 84 percent say their children have participated in organized sports over the past year, 64 percent have done volunteer work and 62 percent have taken lessons in music, dance or art Of families earning less than $30,000,59 percent of children have done sports, 37 percent have volunteered and 41 percent have taken arts classes
[J] Especially in affluent families, children start young Nearly half of high-earning, college-graduate
parents enrolled their children in arts classes before they were 5, compared with one-fifth oflow-income,
less-educated parents. Nonetheless, 20 percent of well-off parents say their children's schedules are too
hectic, compared with 8 percent of poorer parents.
[K] Another example is reading aloud, which studies have shown gives children bigger vocabularies and better reading comprehension in school Seventy-one percent of parents with a college degree say they do it every day, compared with 33 percent of those with a high school diploma or less, Pew found White parents are more likely than others to read to their children daily, as are married parents Most affluent parents enroll their children in preschool or day care, while low-income parents are more likely to depend on family members Discipline techniques vary by education level: 8 percent of those with a postgraduate degree say they often spank their children, compared with 22 percent of those with a high school degree or less
[L] The survey also probed attitudes and anxieties. Interestingly, parents' attitudes toward education do not seem to reflect their own educational background as much as a belief in the importance of education for upward mobility Most American parents say they are not concerned about their children's grades as long as they work hard But 50 percent of poor parents say it is extremely important to them that their children earn a college degree, compared with 39 percent of wealthier parents
[M] Less-educated parents, and poorer and black and Latino parents are more likely to believe that there is no such thing as too much involvement in a child's education Parents who are white, wealthy or college-educated say too much involvement can be bad Parental anxieties reflect their circumstances High-earning parents are much more likely to say they live in a good neighborhood for raising children While bullying is parents: greatest concern over all, nearly half of low-income parents worry their child will get shot, compared with one-fifth of high-income parents They are more worried about their children being depressed or anxious
[N] In the Pew survey, middle-class families earning between $30,000 and $75,000 a year fell right between working-class and high-earning parents on issues like the quality of their neighborhood for raising children,participation in extracurricular activities and involvement in their children's education
[O] Children were not always raised so differently The achievement gap between children from high- and low-income families is 30 percent t0 40 percent larger among children born in 2001 than those born 25 years earlier, according to Mr Reardon's research People used to live near people of different income levels;neighborhoods are now more segregated by income More than a quarter of children live in single-parent households - a historic high, according to Pew - and these children are three times as likely to live in poverty as those who live with married parents Meanwhile, growing income inequality has coincided with the increasing importance of a college degree for earning a middle-class wage
[P] Yet there are recent signs that the gap could be starting to shrink In the past decade, even as income inequality has grown, some of the socioeconomic differences in parenting, like reading to children and going to libraries, have narrowed
36. Working-class parents teach their children to be obedient and show respect to adults.
37. American parents, whether rich or poor, have similar expectations of their children despite different ways of parenting.
38. while rich parents are more concerned with their children's psychological well-being, poor parents are more worried about their children's safety.
39. The increasing differences in child rearing between rich and poor families reflect growing social inequality.
40. Parenting approaches of working-class and affluent families both have advantages.
41. Higher-income families and working-class families tend to live in different neighborhoods.
42. Physical punishment is used much less by well-educated parents.
43. Ms. Lareau doesn't believe participating in fewer after-class activities will negatively affect children's development.
44. Wealthy parents are concerned about their children's mental health and busy schedules.
45. Some socioeconomic differences in child rearing have shrunk in the past ten years.
Questions 46 t0 50 are based on the following passage.
Open data-sharers are still in the minority in many fields,Although many rescarechers broadly agree that public access to raw data would accelerate science- because other scientists might be able to make advances not foreseen by the data's producers -most are reluctant to post the results of their own labours online (see Nature 461, 160-163; 2009) When Wolkovich, for instance, went hunting for the data from the 50 studies in her meta-analysis, only 8 data sets were available online, and many of the researchers whom she e-mailed refused to share their work Forced to extract data from tables or flgures in publications,Wolkovich's team could conduct only limited analyses
Some communities have agreed to share online - geneticists, for example, post DNA sequences at the GenBank repository, and astronomers are accustomed to accessing images of galaxies and stars from, say,the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, a telescope that has observed some 500 million objects - but these remain the exception, not the rule Historically, scientists have objected to sharing for many reasons: it is a lot of work; until recently, good databases did not exist; grant funders were not pushing for sharing; it has been difficult to agree on standards for formatting data and the contextual information called metadata; and there
is no agreed way to assign credit for data
But the barriers are disappearing in part because journals and funding agencies worldwide are encouraging scientists to make their data public. Last year, the Royal Society in London said in its report Science as an Open Enterprise that scientists need to shift away from a research culture where data is viewed as pricate preserve " Funding agencies note that data paid for with public money should be public information, and the scientific community is recognizing that data can now be shared digitally in ways that were not possible before To match the growing demand, services are springing up to make it easier to publish research products online and enable other researchers to discover and cite them
Although exhortations to share data often concentrate on the moral advantages of sharing, the practice is not purely altruistic Researchers who share get plenty of personal benefits.including more connections with colleagues,improved visibility and increased citations The most successful sharers - those whose data are downloaded and cited the most often - get noticed, and their work gets used For example, one of the most popular data sets on multidisciplinary repository Dryad is about wood density around the world; it has been downloaded 5,700 times. Co-author Amy Zanne, a biologist at George Washington University in Washington DC, thinks that users probably range from climate-change researchers wanting to estimate how much carbon is stored in biomass, to foresters looking for information on different grades of' timber "I would much prefer to have my data used by the maximum number of people to ask their own questions," she says "It's important to allow readers and reviewers to see exactly how you arrive at your results Publishing data and code allows your science to be reproducible "
46 What do many researchers generally accept?
A It is imperative to protest scientist' patents
B Repositories are essential to scientitle research
C Open data sharing is most important to medical science
D.Open data sharing is conducive to scientific advancement
47 What is the attitude of most researchers towards making their own data public?
A Opposed
B Ambiguous
C Liberal
D Neutral
48 According to the passage, what might hinder open data sharing"
A The fear of massive copying
B The lack of a research culture
C.The belief that resacrch is private intellectual property
D. The concern that certain agencies may make a profit out of it
49 What helps lift some of the barriers to open data sharing?
A The ever-growing demand for big data
B The advantage of digital technology
C The changing attitude of journals and funders.
D The trend of social and economic development.
50 Dryad serves as an example to show how open data sharing ___
A is becoming increasingly popular
B benefits shares and users alike
C makes researchers successful
D saves both money and labor

Jio Phone Fingerprint App – Does Jio Phone Supports Fingerprint Feature?
Nowadays, a new news has started trending on social media and internet that jio phone users can download jio phone fingerprint lock app to enable fingerprint feature in their devices. In this article, we are going to share all the details you need to know about this news and talk about whether this news is true or not.
Jio wants to make India digital and for this to happen, every Indian must be introduced to the online world and the medium of connecting a user to internet is a smartphone. But, the smartphones are a bit expensive so some people can't afford it.
So, Jio has launched budget smartphones priced around Rs 1500 i.e. Jio phone 1 and Jio phone 2. Both these devices become public's favourite choice and even millions of users booked the devices before its launch. These devices can run apps that are supported by smartphones i.e. my jio tv app, my jio app, jio chat app and much more.
By looking at mobile phone price, it is clear that this device doesn't have all the features that a smartphone have. Same thing applies to the latest trending news i.e. jio phone fingerprint lock feature. So, the question arise here is that "can we enable fingerprint lock in jio phone?". Now, we are going to answer this question.
Can we enable fingerprint lock in Jio Phone ?
Let me ask you a question, what is the main thing required to make fingerprint lock work? Think.
Well, the main thing required to use fingerprint feature on your device is fingerprint sensor or scanner. If you are using a jio phone then you must know that there is no sensor through which jio phone can detect fingerprint.
I have seen guide on youtube in which they are guiding users to download finger print apk file and after that users can make jio phone camera work as your fingerprint sensor. That guide was one of the most hilarious guides I have ever seen on youtube.
Nowadays, people are doing everything to get views and visitors on their videos or websites. I have also seen many website that are guiding users to download the jio phone finger print app apk and after installing the apk, you can enable fingerprint lock in jio phone.
Firstly, let me tell you that the device you are using i.e. jio phone is running on Kai OS not on android so you can't run apk files. Simply forget about the jio phone fingerprint apk download file as this method is not going to work at all.
Secondly, If you go to settings > security settings then you will see there is only single option through which you can set pin code as your device security lock. So, you can't enable fingerprint in jio phone through this method either.
So, the answer to the question – "Can we download or enable fingerprint lock In Jio Phone?" is a big NO. You can't enable fingerprint lock until there is any default update. Subscribe us and we will inform you once this feature comes in official update.

In 2010 Artist Run Scientific Enterprises began studying and simulating wormholes for the purpose of both sundiving and the potential to achieve a moment of synchronicity between self and universe by throwing oneself into a wormhole.
A.R.S.E. intends to condense self and the universe in an ultimate act of extremity, in an eternal and infinite singularity and expression of love for the universe; or fall into the sun trying.

Open Briefing launches 2017-18 annual report
The nature of our work protecting human rights defenders and humanitarians means that we operate largely behind the scenes. Nonetheless, our new annual report attempts to outline the considerable impact that Open Briefing is having around the world; an impact way beyond what our size and budget would suggest possible. The report also sets out our plans for the next 12 months.
Help us protect those on the frontlines of civil society
Open Briefing supports at-risk organisations and activists on the frontlines of civil society around the world. We help them achieve social and environmental change by ensuring their physical, digital and psychological security or through enhancing their campaigns with intelligence and research support. Please consider making a donation to Open Briefing today. Help us protect those who protect others.
An open letter to all our friends and supporters at Christmas
As the Christmas break draws near, our executive director thanks all our friends and supporters for all your hard work and encouragement this year and takes the opportunity to reflect on 2017 and look ahead to 2018. We hope you all have a very happy Christmas and a peaceful new year!
Launch of innovative new services and our ambitious strategic plan!
Open Briefing is today launching a complete package of low-cost, high-impact intelligence, security, training and equipment services for organisations and individuals striving for social and environmental justice, particularly those working in or on fragile and conflict-affected states or under repressive regimes. Our new strategic plan sets out how we will deliver on our pledge to protect and inform all those striving for social and environmental justice. It is an ambitious and truly groundbreaking plan, but with your support we can achieve real change.
Funding news!
Open Briefing is delighted to announce two recent fundraising successes. The Oak Foundation's international human rights programme has awarded us a three-year grant worth £155,000 and the Polden-Puckham Charitable Foundation has awarded us a two-year grant worth £25,000. Together, these grants mean we can implement our plans to expand beyond the provision of intelligence to also provide security, training and equipment to help those striving to make the world a better place.
Crowdfunding update – we still need your support!
Open Briefing is currently running a crowdfunding campaign on Indigogo to raise £5,000 towards the cost of launching new security and training units to help protect those striving the make the world a better place.
Open Briefing launches crowdfunding campaign and new promo video!
Open Briefing is a non-profit social enterprise. Unlike many organisations, we do not take any money from governments or corporations. We rely on the support of volunteers and are funded by charitable grants and public donations. Our new security and training units are groundbreaking, and we want to launch them with the backing of crowdfunding so that they are a truly public enterprise. So please help by supporting our crowdfunding campaign and encouraging your friends, family and colleagues to join you.

Getting similar or related posts from your friends again and again on your Facebook News Feed could be daunting. Watching your friend having fun with his new cat sounds interesting but you wouldn't like the same adorable stuff flooding your News Feed over and over again. Well, the same goes for pages and the groups you've joined. There's a group that continuously fills up your Feed but you don't want to leave it too, but you can have a control of it with Facebook's new 'Snooze' feature.
The newly launched 'Snooze' feature lets you mute a particular person you're friend with, a page, or a group you follow for 30 days. This is like a temporary block that will hide all the posts for a month. So, you can easily get rid of those same memes that your friends' post every other day.
Just follow the simple step that will let you hide the posts for a temporary period of time.
Just tap the three dot icon present next to any post from a person/page/group. You'll see the option available in the menu you get after tapping the three-dot menu.
Select the option Snooze "person's name" for 30 days and this will hide the post from a particular person if he/she posts a lot in the group on a page or put something on their profile generally.
Once the 30 days grace period is over, Facebook won't automatically start showing the posts from that person but will rather notify you that the snooze period for "your friend's name" is soon coming to end. So that you could decide whether to mute posts for another span of 30 days or start showing posts from him/her.
Facebook already provides you a way to hide posts from a particular person with the help of Hide feature. This feature shows fewer posts on your News Feeds. Also, there's an Unfollow feature that completely avoids all the posts from a particular account or group but it lets you stay in the group. So, the new Snooze feature is somewhat an amalgamation of both these features.

A special collector's edition of three Asterix stories in one volume.
In this fabulous edition, books four to six are collected in one volume.
In Asterix The Gladiator, the Romans capture Cacofonix as a gift for Caesar who plans to throw him to the lions. To rescue their bard, Asterix and Obelix have to become gladiators.
In Asterix and the Banquet, the Romans build a barricade around the village. So Asterix and Obelix demonstrate their resistance by going on a journey around the entire country, collecting local specialities on the way.
In Asterix and Cleopatra, Asterix, Obelix and co visit Egypt, where they are entranced by the Sphinx, the pyramids and Cleopatra's nose!
Albert Uderzo has been illustrating Asterix for 37 years, and has written the most recent titles since Goscinny's death. He enjoys racing sports cars and owns a large number of Ferraris. He was the recipient of the Legion d'Honneur, France's highest honour, for services to the arts. Asterix is a best seller in 70 languages
Rene Goscinny was born in Paris in 1926, and spent most of his childhood in Argentina, before eventually moving to Paris in 1951. He died in 1977.

DVD Obscura: 'The Florida Project,' 'Blade of the Immortal,' 'Night of the Living Dead' and More
New Indie
For a straight white guy, writer-director Sean Baker tells some of the most compassionate and empathetic stories about marginalized communities. The man behind Tangerine and Starlet returns with The Florida Project (Lionsgate Home Entertainment), a powerful tale of a young girl (played indelibly by Brooklynn Prince) and her barely-getting-by mother (Bria Vinaite) as they eke out a day-to-day existence in a Crayola-colored motel in the shadow of Walt Disney World. Willem Dafoe received richly deserved Oscar and Independent Spirit nominations for his turn as the hotel's compassionate manager. Not always an easy watch – and I love the ending, even though it's been divisive – this is a powerful and heartfelt story of people just trying to make it in the world.
Also available: Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (20th Century Fox Home Entertainment) stirred up controversy but also won Oscars for Frances McDormand and Sam Rockwell, so check it out for yourself; Matt Bomer stars as a father whose hunting trip with his son goes terrifyingly awry in the tense Walking Out (Shout Factory); Bryan Cranston and Tom Wilkinson recently took a stab at playing our 36th president, but Rob Reiner's LBJ (Sony Pictures Home Entertainment) gives Woody Harrelson his moment in the Oval Office during a cataclysmic moment in the nation's history.
New Foreign
Outside of hardcore cineastes, most Americans have never heard of Japanese filmmaking legend Takashi Miike, but let us salute this master director on his 100th – that's one-zero-zero – feature, Blade of the Immortal (Magnolia Home Entertainment). The man behind 13 Assassins certainly knows his way around a samurai picture, and this one stars Takuya Kimura (2046) as a swordsman cursed with immortality and forced to fight evil in the hopes of regaining his soul. If you've never experienced the thrill of Miike's work, this is a great place to start.
Also available: The acclaimed biopic Tom of Finland (Kino Lorber), about the legendary artist who redefined homoeroticism, goes great with the documentary on his life, the newly-reissued Daddy and the Muscle Academy (Zeitgeist/Kino Lorber); a talented young footballer wants to be Just Charlie (Wolfe) but their emerging trans identity throws Charlie's sports ambitions and family life into upheaval; The Girl Without Hands (Shout/GKIDS), the hand-drawn feature debut of animator Sébastien Laudenbach, has won awards all over Europe.
Set in Communist-dominated 1980s Czechoslovakia, the dark comedy The Teacher (Film Movement) satirizes life in a totalitarian society; three teen boys get into summertime trouble in the haunting, award-winning Canadian import Sleeping Giant (Altered Innocence).
Traditional Mexican machismo gets a skewering in the gay comedy Hazlo Como Hombre (Do It Like an Hombre) (Lionsgate Home Entertainment); a riotous Foam Party! (Strand Releasing Home Entertainment) sees 14 characters of all sexual stripes finding love among the suds; Sebastian (Wolfe) is an Argentine who visits Toronto and falls in love – with his cousin's boyfriend.
New Documentary
We have come to romanticize the struggling filmmaker and his or her tales of squeaking by on maxed-out credit cards, favors from friends, and craft services provided by mom. But sometimes there's a story to be told about the pitfalls of having too many resources. Henri-Georges Clouzot's Inferno (Arrow Academy) examines a legendary, never-finished film by a director at the top of his game; after Diabolique and The Wages of Fear, Clouzot could pretty much write his own ticket, and he wound up having so much time and money to make his next film that he never completed the dang thing. This riveting documentary takes a compelling peek behind the curtain, and it should be required viewing for every Sundance sensation who gets handed the keys to a big studio movie.
Also available: Quest (First Run Features) spends eight years with a black family in North Philadelphia, and through them we get a fascinating look at race and class in America; the legendary drag dance troupe Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo are ready for their closeup in the charming Rebels on Pointe (Icarus Films); the world of contemporary art is still trying to figure out the impact of the internet, and #artoffline (IndiePix Films) attempts to answer some of those questions.
Add I Am Somebody: Three Films by Madeline Anderson (Icarus Films) to your #52FilmsbyWomen list and enjoy a trio of powerful documentaries (featuring Maya Angelou, Coretta Scott King and Betty Shabazz) from this essential filmmaker; governments around the world are spying on their citizens with the use of the internet, according to the acclaimed and provocative Black Code (Music Box Films); The Sunshine Makers (FilmRise) introduces us to the men who tried to save the world with LSD back in the 1960s; they're Polluting Paradise (Strand Releasing Home Entertainment) and putting up a parking lot (actually, a garbage dump) in this passionate environmental doc from director Fatih Akin (In the Fade).
And the IndiePix Festival Favorites collection has more terrific compilation discs: Volume 2 offers three docs that look at jazz culture around the world: Icons Among Us: Jazz in the Present Tense, Echotone and Roaring Abyss, while Volume 3 examines black issues in contemporary culture with The Nine Lives of Marion Berry, The Vanishing Black Male and In His Own Home.
New Grindhouse
Because of legal technicalities, George A. Romero's influential classic Night of the Living Dead (The Criterion Collection) has been a public domain title for decades; as such, there have been any number of cruddy, muddy transfers released by video companies out to make a quick buck. What a delight, then, that The Criterion Collection has given this important American film the platform it so deserves: the 4K restoration was carried out by the Museum of Modern Art and The Film Foundation (under Romero's supervision), and this Blu-ray includes a never-before-seen work-print edit of the film (titled Night of Anubis); testimonials from Frank Darabont, Guillermo del Toro and Robert Rodriguez; and all the bells and whistles any zombie fan could ever want.
Also available: Bugs and nightmares and cults in Michele Soavi's giallo fave The Sect (Scorpion Releasing), produced by Dario Argento; Scalpel (Arrow) gave legendary cinematographer Ed Lachman one of his earliest gigs with this creepy plastic-surgery chiller; serial killer Victor Crowley (Dark Sky Films) comes back to life in the fourth entry in the Hatchet franchise; retire your VHS copy, Gate II (Scream Factory) is now available in a definitive new Blu-ray edition.
Pinhead is back, and Heather Langenkamp's got him in Hellraiser: Judgment (Lionsgate Home Entertainment); Danielle Harris battles the supernatural in a hospital of horrors in Inoperable (Cinedigm); House of Demons (Sony Pictures Home Entertainment) is a terrible place to hold a destination wedding, as Amber Benson learns far too late to get her deposit back.
Armed goons come after a high-schooler in Kill Order (RLJ Entertainment), but he's not giving up without a fight; Sam Raimi gives the PG-13 horror flick a good name with the deliriously terrifying Drag Me to Hell (Scream Factory); Basket Case (Arrow) gets a lavish Blu-ray release, complete with new director-star commentary and stunning 4K restoration; the director of Infernal Affairs returns with a new breathless crime saga, Extraordinary Mission (Cinedigm/Crimson Forest)
A family hostage situation streams live on the web, and horrified onlookers around the world Keep Watching (Sony Pictures Home Entertainment); Herschell Gordon Lewis' dark comedy The Gruesome Twosome (Arrow) lives up to its titular adjective; and we begin and end with Romero, as Day of the Dead: Bloodline (Lionsgate Home Entertainment) reimagines the Pittsburgh horror master's original.
New Classic
While Hayao Miyazaki has made any number of unassailable classics, it's a film by his Studio Ghibli Partner Isao Takahata, Pom Poko (GKIDS/Shout Factory), that has a special place in my heart. An ecological fable about tanuki (raccoon-dogs) who relearn their ancient shape-shifting powers in an attempt to keep developers from destroying their forest, the film contains a uniquely Ghibli-esque mix of humor, pathos and outrageous visuals. Maybe not for kids – the male tanuki's testicles play a key role in the plot – Pom Poko is nonetheless a must-see anime classic. (Also out from Shout/GKIDS this month is Tales from Earthsea, Gorô Miyazaki's adaptation of the books by Ursula K. LeGuin.)
Also available: Another female filmmaking legend you might not have heard of is cinema pioneer Lois Weber – get to know her vital work with the release of two of her 1916 titles, The Dumb Girl of Portici and Shoes (both from Milestone Films); Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway generate such raw sex appeal in The Thomas Crown Affair (Kino Lorber Studio Classics) that it doesn't matter that the plot barely makes sense; Dean Martin & Jerry Lewis Collection (Mill Creek Entertainment) offers five feature films and more than 20 hours of TV performances by this legendary comedy duo; and speaking of things the French like, Jean-Luc Godard + Jean-Pierre Gorin: Five Films, 1968-1971 (Arrow Academy) examines one of Godard's more politically radical moments as a filmmaker, in an edition that comes with a 100-page booklet with new English translations of both artists' writings.
Influential, quotable and still totally creepy, The Silence of the Lambs returns to The Criterion Collection (which originally released the film on laserdisc) with a new 4K restoration; if, like me, you have a soft-spot for 1960s soft-core comedies, check out the anthology film The Oldest Profession (Kino Classics) – featuring a Godard segment! – and Tony Curtis and Monica Vitti in The Chastity Belt (Warner Archive Collection); now that you've seen the Netflix reboot, go back to where it all started with the indie kid classic Benji (Mill Creek Entertainment), on Blu-ray for the first time ever.
Baby: Secret of the Lost Legend (Kino Lorber Studio Classics) sees William Katt and Sean Young rescuing a living dinosaur from poachers; Burt Lancaster gets one of his best roles in Birdman of Alcatraz (Olive Films), but it also earned the great Thelma Ritter her sixth and final Oscar nomination; Paul Newman is a swinging detective in two tongue-in-cheek thrillers, Harper and The Drowning Pool (both Warner Archive Collection); acclaimed indie Hell or High Water (Lionsgate Home Entertainment) gets the full 4K treatment.
Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. is a ne'er-do-well with eyes for young heiress Loretta Young in the delightfully titled I Like Your Nerve (Warner Archive Collection); in The Incident (Twilight Time), young thugs Martin Sheen and Tony Musante hold a subway car of character actors (including the aforementioned Thelma Ritter) hostage; the Age of Aquarius dawns anew in Milos Forman's joyous screen adaptation of Hair (Olive Films); Lara Croft: Tomb Raider and Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life (both Paramount) get 4K reissues just as the new version hits theaters.
Goodness gracious, Dennis Quaid goes large to play rock legend Jerry Lee Lewis in the biopic Great Balls of Fire! (Olive Films); there are musical shenanigans of an entirely different stripe in Orchestra Rehearsal (Arrow Academy), a later Fellini comedy; and don't miss Emir Kusturica's award-winning 1996 comedy Underground (Kino Classics), making its Blu-ray debut.
New TV
If you can't go through a day without quoting Buddy Cole or the Chicken Lady or Kathy & Cathy, curl up with The Kids in the Hall: The Complete Collection (Mill Creek Entertainment), a box set celebrating one of TV's wildest and most anarchic sketch shows. The greatest Canadian comedic invasion since SCTV, this landmark series starring Dave Foley, Bruce McCulloch, Kevin McDonald, Mark McKinney and Scott Thompson was daffy and dada, trashy and cerebral, and a landmark of '90s TV that hasn't lost any of its hilarious zip.
Also available: James Franco plays twins in the brilliant The Deuce: The Complete First Season (HBO Home Entertainment), set in the early days of American porno, but Maggie Gyllenhaal steals the show; the British documentary series 100 Years of Horror (Mill Creek Entertainment) goes deep into the genre with clips and interviews any fan will scream for; Lee Van Cleef as a white ninja is one of the least silly things about The Master (Kino Lorber/CBS), but this entertainingly cheeseball series – perhaps best known as the basis of two Mystery Science Theater 3000 episodes – has been remastered into hi-def for the first time.
Stockholm lawyer Rebecka Martinsson (Acorn TV) turns sleuth after a shocking murder takes place in her sleepy home town; Lucas Till keeps the improvised gadgets coming in the rebooted MacGyver: Season 1 (Lionsgate Home Entertainment); an odd but fascinating experiment in early TV, The Jackie Gleason Show in Color (Time Life) sees The Great One taking his show to Miami for a kitschy spectacle (including full-color "Honeymooners" sketches).

On July 2nd, I posted that Sino Grandness had some collections and it moved up after that. In my blog post, I also shared that it's wise to lock in profits and go since it's a risky penny stocks. Since then the stock had been trending down and breaking down further below the breakout day which recorded 50% return in 1 day. Click and see my analysis on July 2nd.
I then shared what I saw and my analysis to all who came for my private event on July 3rd. I specifically told them how the BBs in Sino would play the stock and let the stock depressed.
So here, I am sharing again what you need to know when you trade Sino Grandness. The Top 2 signs and if you can see it, your chances of winning is pretty high.
1. You need to enter at demand zone and collection points BEFORE the stock runs
2. When you see the break out happens, sell into rising prices and finish your trade in 1 day regardless of what news that is about to release. Why? Because if you study the chart as attached, you will see Sino Grandness lost strength after 1 day and punctured down thereafter.
So there you have it. Study the BBs, study the chart and you will have a better game plan and objective on how to trade this stock effectively.

Last week saw the tenth anniversary of the war in Afghanistan..
Most of you have probably already seen this…nevertheless….LightBox put up a gallery of 43 images by war photographers in Afghanistan and the images that moved them most….Lot of familiar frames by Anderson, Morris, Sinclair, Bronstein, Haviv, Murphy, van Agtmael, Nachtwey, etc…. you name it…Hadn't seen this one by Emilio Morenatti before…

Just noticed Patrick Witty tweet that this week's TIME International cover story is on Afghanistan..Cover photo by Adam Ferguson…My eyes were drawn to the headline that accompanies the image… "Why The US Will Never Save Afghanistan"…you compare that to the famous 2010 cover with Jodi Bieber's Aisha portrait with the headline "What Happens if We Leave Afghanistan",and I would argue there's been a change in Afghanistan thinking at TIME's editorial desk…see the covers side-by-side here.
Panos have a slideshow of Afghanistan images from the past ten years… Was looking at the below Martin Adler one from Kabul in 2002, and noticed the building looked familiar… realised it's the same one as in a famous Simon Norfolk one from 2001… See the two side-by-side here…

I took another look at the winners gallery on the Word Press Photo site, and I couldn't feel a bit baffled that the 1st prize sports story went to photographer Adam Pretty for 'sports portfolio'… his photos were great, but how portfolio can be seen as a story, I don't understand…I preferred the 2nd prize winner Tomasz Gudzowaty's Mexico Car Frenzy piece in the sense that it was a clear story and very, very strong… Had to check out his personal site…
