Sustainability is in Klabin's DNA, and to sustain its investments in these practices, the company recently (September 2017) raised funds in the international market through its first issue of green bonds amounting to around R$ 1.6 billion, maturing in 10 years. The company, which pioneered the adoption of sustainable practices, is a benchmark in sustainable development and its issue received the "High Standard" rating from consulting firm Sustainalytics. The offering drew significant investor interest, with demand exceeding the offer of green bonds sevenfold.
Sustainability governance at Klabin is strongly structured and functions on four key pillars : Sustainability Committee ; Sustainability Commission ; Sustainability and Communication Department ; and a working group on impacts of climate change, all with the mission to raise the level of transparency across the company and structure its actions.
Klabin has been, for three years, prominently featured in the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), an international organization that analyzes companies' efforts to minimize and manage the environmental impacts of their operations. In 2016, it was elected "Sustainable Company of the Year" and the most sustainable company in the paper and pulp sector by Guia Exame de Sustentabilidade. Moreover, since 2014, it has been included in the portfolios of the Corporate Sustainability Index (ISE) and Carbon Efficient Index (ICO2) of the São Paulo Stock Exchange (BM&FBovespa).
Valmet will supply a vast grade conversion rebuild with a wide scope of automation for Sappi Lanaken Mill in Belgium.

Södra's port in Mönsterås will become completely free from fossil fuels in October. All work vehicles and cranes at the port will begin using HVO* diesel – a completely fossil-free alternative to standard diesel.
Södra's port has four cranes and 16 working vehicles. Together, these handles about three million tonnes of freight each year. The freight is loaded for transport to Europe by land and sea and includes 430,000 tonnes of paper pulp and 170,000 m³ of sawn timber. This will now be carried out using only fossil-free HVO diesel.
"As a representative of a green industry, we consider this an obvious next step," said Niclas Strömqvist, Site Manager at Södra's port in Mönsterås.
The switchover at the port began in the spring of 2017 and was completed at the end of September. The move is part of Södra's sustainability targets that aim to achieve fossil-free production by 2020 and fossil-free transportation by 2030 – targets adopted in 2016 and assigned the same status as Södra's financial targets.
"Efforts have focused on examining and ensuring that the HVO diesel is compatible with existing equipment at the port. We are always on the lookout for climate-smart solutions. This is in line with how we want to act and operate as a company," said Jörgen Erlandsson, Head of Technology, Environment and Quality at Södra's port in Mönsterås.
HVO is both a climate-smart and economical alternative to synthetically produced petrodiesel. The raw materials for Södra's HVO are slaughterhouse waste and rapeseed oil.
"HVO is a better environmental choice because it is 100-percent fossil-free. This means it is completely renewable and greenhouse gas emissions are substantially lower," said Åsa Forss, Manager of Södra's wood-chip truck fleet.

The three Valmet IQ Moisturizers delivered to Dunapack Mosburger's corrugated line in Strasswalchen, Austria, have been successfully started up. With the new solutions, the plant will be able to improve corrugated box quality and plant performance.
Since 2012-2013, Dunapack Packaging has invested more than EUR 30 million in its Mosburger Strasswalchen production site, including a new 2.8-meter-wide corrugated line.
"Higher quality, more diverse papers together with improved production and smaller, just-in-time orders make it more and more challenging to act against warp with standard temperature, speed and glue settings. We were looking for a device to do it. When Valmet presented its control technology that is widely proven in paper production, we were convinced that this will work on our corrugated line, too," says August Hauser, Corrugated Line Manager at Dunapack Mosburger Strasswalchen.
"Valmet's IQ quality control solutions are established on paper machines worldwide. However, it takes innovative people to adopt them in the converting and corrugated industry, too. Innovation is definitely an attitude shown by the Dunapack Mosburger team," summarizes Christian Kallich, Country Manager, Austria and Eastern Europe, Automation, Valmet.
Technical information about Valmet IQ Moisturizer
The Valmet IQ Moisturizer profiler is used to correct all kinds of warping, decrease cracking tendency and optimize glue consumption by adding a fine and controlled water mist onto the liners with 60 mm or 120 mm resolution in a cross direction. IQ Moisturizer's two-stage spray head contributes to a balanced and application-matched mixture of air and water. The system is used via an IQ Moisturizer operator interface and integrated into the existing process controls.
ANDRITZ has successfully started up another upgraded screw press installed at the Joutseno mill of Metsä Board, Finland. This upgrade follows a separate screw press rebuild for Metsä Board Joutseno that was completed successfully in late 2016.
The rebuild of both screw presses (#21 and #22) included installation of a new Low-Energy Screw Shaft (LESS) as well as split grooved baskets for the medium-pressure zone in order to widen the operating window of the presses and allow higher production rates. The design of the LESS enables a new compression curve, resulting in a higher throughput at the same installed power.

Favini, one of the global leaders in the creation of innovative graphic specialties for packaging of products, confirms itself as the trend setter in luxury packaging. Proudly introduces to the market during LUXE PACK exhibition in Monaco, their new Majestic Gold Fever paper on the stand themed as GOLD.
Always attentive to the trends in the field of fashion, design and luxury, Favini introduces a new material to enrich the Majestic range of metallic papers. A paper which appears covered with pure gold, it is for those designers and creators in search of the best gold.
Brilliance and reflections are important trend components for 2017, the year of metallic colours. First and foremost gold, from apparel to accessories, as well as for interior design objects, it is the iridescence of the metal which illuminates the entire next season, enriching it with elegant and precious nuances.
According to labour union CGT and local medias, the Finnish paper group Kotka Mills, and Express Packaging – specialized in packaging and cutting activities – have shown their interest in the taking over of the French mill Arjowiggins in Wizernes which was closed in 2015.
Sequana has confirmed to Agence France-Presse (AFP) that a visit was organised on September 28 but according to the Group, no offer has been made for the moment.
The concept of luxury packaging is being redefined. New generations of conscious consumers look for more than bling and demands now include trustworthiness, authenticity and sustainability. At Luxe Pack Monaco BillerudKorsnäs enters with a sustainability-focused message, "lightweighting" for premium brands to build a strong environmental profile.
Interest in packaging sustainability is on the rise. The talk among the 500 exhibitors competing for attention at Luxe Pack is about high value, premiumization, brand experience and packaging ability to reflect brands and products through design, material and creative, innovative solutions.
In the stand at Luxe Pack Monaco, the world's leading trade show for luxury packaging, BillerudKorsnäs, enters with a sustainability-focused message – lightweighting – reduction of weight, use of raw materials and energy, cutting down on transport and warehousing, producing less waste, all in all contributes to smaller environmental impact, while customers and brands save cost.
"Lightweighting, as a result of our strong material, is one practical example of our sustainability ambitions. Another example is our team of experts in structural design, with the competence and capability to evaluate any existing packaging solution and offer an alternative that uses less material and weighs less. Last but not least, our products come from a renewable source. That is an appealing proposition to the luxury brands, given the high awareness levels of their customers" says Magnus Levinsson, Business Segment Director Cartonboard at BillerudKorsnäs.
BillerudKorsnäs is a regular exhibitor at Luxe Pack in Monaco, Shanghai and New York, showcasing inspiring packaging design based on their unique premium cartonboard whose combination of strength, formability and excellent printing properties matches the demand of luxury brands. The lightweighting opportunities add to the potential for premium brands to build a strong environmental profile.

Forming fabrics have an essential role in water drainage in the wire section of a paper machine. By introducing the new generation's polarized forming fabrics, Valmet revolutionized water drainage in the wire section.
"Our polarized forming fabrics have been piloted in paper-machines for over a year now. After the polarized technology entered the market in 2016, we have seen its advantages through our customers' performance. The machines run cleaner, number of breaks is reduced, retention is higher, just to mention a few. The unique polarized structure makes a big difference in the fabric performance compared to what we have seen before," says Pekka Kortelainen, Product Technology Manager at Valmet.
Polarized structure improves the machine runnability and performance
Traditionally, all SSB (sheet support binding) fabrics have had direct drainage channels. In the polarized structure, the machine direction yarns on both the paper side and the roll side are shifted to form an off-stacked structure. This special structure removes the direct drainage channels traditionally used in forming fabrics.
"The unique polarized structure allows controlled initial drainage in the paper-making process. That improves retention and helps keeping the machine clean. Good runnability and cleanliness reduce breaks and therefore increase production capacity remarkably. Cost-savings are created by for example being able to use less chemicals," explains Kortelainen.
To be able to meet the growing demand in the different markets of the Latin-American area and pursue a regional growth plan, the Grand Bay Paper and Care Products Group has stipulated an agreement regarding the installation of a new paper mill for the production of soft papers (toilet rolls, table napkins, facial tissue, kitchen towels) with the Italian company Recard.
This new investment will be set up in Guatemala, in Central America, through the branch company Papelera Internacional S.A., and will constitute the basis for the expansion of the activities in the region of Central America and the Caribbean.
The new machine, whose start-up is scheduled for mid-October 2018, boasts a drying capacity of 120 t/d and a maximum speed of 2000 m/min. The machine will run on 100% virgin fiber or 100% secondary fiber. Recard will supply a turnkey service that includes 3 pulp preparation lines for long fibers, short fibers and broke, approach flow system, related ancillary equipment and complete mechanical and electrical assembly.
"This new order by Painsa", commented Mauro Michelini, General Manager, "is a great reason for pride for us because it allows us to work once again with people with whom we have established a great rapport, and this is foundational in order to pursue satisfactory technical results".
Klingele Group, one of the leading independent manufacturers of corrugated base paper and packaging made from corrugated cardboard, is investing in the promising market in Cuba through its Spanish subsidiary Klingele Embalajes. Klingele has a shareholding in the Spanish holding company Trade Packaging S.A. and will therefore operate two corrugated cardboard plants and a folding box plant in Cuba in the future. Klingele is continuing on its expansion course with this commitment : the company recently announced its shareholding in the Scandinavian Peterson Group with six sites in Sweden, Denmark and Norway.
International Paper today announced plans to invest approximately $300 million to convert its No. 15 paper machine at the Riverdale Mill in Selma, Ala. from uncoated freesheet to high quality whitetop linerboard and containerboard. The conversion is targeted to be completed by mid-year 2019. The investment will add 450,000 tons of annual capacity, with flexibility to shift between containerboard products.
Converting Riverdale No. 15 will position International Paper to grow its Industrial Packaging business, continue to provide attractive jobs to Riverdale team members and remain a significant supplier of uncoated freesheet in North America.
"Our customers expect us to support their growth and this machine conversion will meet their needs," said Tim Nicholls, IP's senior vice president, Industrial Packaging the Americas. "Our Industrial Packaging business continues to focus on our customers in strategic channels including our box business, domestic and export containerboard and specialty grades."
Nicholls added its Industrial Packaging mill system allows the business to optimize product mix, increase service and reduce costs. "Our system runs most effectively when there is flexibility, and this conversion will also help us define a more streamlined and balanced system overall."
As a result of the machine conversion, the company will reduce its annual uncoated freesheet capacity by 235,000 tons. The remaining machine at the Riverdale Mill will continue to produce uncoated imaging paper products.
"International Paper's uncoated freesheet business remains a strategic part of the company and we are well positioned to support current and future customer demand," said Mike Amick, Jr., IP's senior vice president, Paper the Americas & India. "This investment proactively repositions Riverdale No. 15 to serve our growing packaging business, while enabling us to optimize our North American Papers business."
Cartonboard material from BillerudKorsnäs, a leading global provider of sustainable packaging materials and solutions, has been used in three winning categories at the prestigious European Carton Excellence Awards, including the most prestigious "Carton of the Year".
On September 21, 2017, the 21stedition of the European Carton Excellence Award, Europe's most renowned award for carton packaging, was held and BillerudKorsnäs and their converter and brand owner partners went home with three prestigious awards.
"It's a great honor to be part of and being able to help our customers, both converters and brand owners, with realizing all their great visions, design and environmental packaging ideas. At BillerudKorsnäs we have developed a series of materials creating no need for compromises. Our cartonboard is made from primary fibers, making it so strong that the packaging weight can be reduced without compromising performance, making it possible for both beautiful, functional and environmental packages." says Magnus Levinsson, Business Segment Director Cartonboard at BillerudKorsnäs.
Together with Domenis 1898 SRL and Lucaprint, BillerudKorsnäs won the most reputable award "Carton of the Year" with the entry Geometrie Cividât. The classic gin is elegantly presented in a diagonally cut carton, where the round bottle is perfectly secured inside the functional and attractive design, making it stand out and at the same time enhance the sophisticated quality of the product. The superior quality and printability of BillerudKorsnäs cartonboard made sure that the cartons designer, Ufficio Tecnico Lucaprint and Giulia Toscanelli, could realize their vision which in the end resulted in being crowned the best carton of the year.
BillerudKorsnäs also helped liquorish manufacturer LIQ and producer VG Kvadra Pak JSC to win best packaging in the "Confectionary" category with their prgifemium packaging "LIQ gift set". The t set consists of one large gift box which holds four small cube boxes, all made from BillerudKorsnäs cartonboard. The small boxes have a double layer of material produced from eco-friendly cartonboard material, which helps to achieve a more natural and matte look and at the same time allows for excellent printing quality and what the jury named "an exceptional experience".
First place in the "Drinks" category went to the French Jolival together with VG Angoulème who designed and produced the entry 'Eco-Fontaine Jolival', a transportable five-litre water fountain that requires no maintenance or electricity. Made of BillerudKorsnäs cartonboard the carton can be recycled or refilled and therefore has multiple lifecycles, an extremely eco-friendly concept. The use of cartonboard for both cups and dispenser also helps to limit the use of plastics, doubling the positive environmental, which the jury called "ideal".

"Research Beyond Academia" is a one credit pass-fail course designed to introduce students to research as it is practiced by researchers in the triangle and beyond. Researchers working in state and federal government (e.g., the Environmental Protection Agency) as well as researchers in for-profit and nonprofit organizations (e.g., the Research Triangle Institute or the North Carolina Museum of Art) will address the students in this class. As guest speakers, they will be invited to discuss their research and the development of their careers. Following each guest lecture, there will be a brief question and answer session, during which time students can discuss ideas and ask questions informally of the guest speaker and with each other. Students who are engaged in research also discuss the value of those experiences and offer advice about getting started and finding a mentor. This course meets one of the requirements of the Carolina Research Scholars Program.
Previous presenters in IDST 194 have included speakers from Carolina Performing Arts, the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation, the Environmental Protection Agency, GlaxoSmithKline, NC Child, the North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources, the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources, NC Geological Survey, NC Justice, the North Carolina Museum of Art, the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences, Public Impact, Quintiles, Redhat, RTI, and The Conservation Fund.
Is IDST 184 different from IDST 194?
Yes. IDST 194: Modes of Inquiry focuses on researchers within the academy. Also, enrollment in IDST 184 is limited to a select group of students from the Excel@Carolina program.
Either course can fulfill the first requirement for the Carolina Research Scholar Program.
How is IDST 184 different from other seminar courses?
Most seminar courses are focused around particular topics involving one or a small number of disciplines. IDST 184 is designed to introduce you to a wide range of research careers outside the academy. You will meet professionals in the Triangle and beyond who will discuss their research and career paths. These lectures will be followed by brief, informal discussion, as is customary in seminar courses. These informal discussions are a fantastic opportunity to find out more about how knowledge is made in fields that may be familiar and/or new to you.
What will we be doing?
In this course, teams of students will interview presenters and post a short bio on the course Web site. Each week, the student hosts will introduce the speaker, lead the seminar discussion, pose additional questions to the speaker and student participants as needed, and start the reflection forums. You will also be learning about how undergraduates can get involved in research, scholarship and creative endeavors.
Will this be a difficult class?
The challenge of this class will be the many disciplines represented. The speakers will use many different styles of engaging your participation, and you may feel that you have a better background for some of the sessions than for others. But this diversity is also the reason that this class may be of particular interest to you. You will also learn how to contribute to a discussion and have the opportunity to get to know research professionals from outside the university environment.
How will I be graded?
Your grade will be based on attendance, seminar participation, your team's speaker interview and the reflections you post on the course Sakai site. This course is available for pass/fail credit only.

aquarium fault
Leaks are a nuisance, but it's not usually essential to empty the tank to do a repair. The tank should be given a chance to correct its own leak. It'll frequently do this supplied the seepage isn't too quick. A leak rights itself when the suspended matter in the water clogs the fault via which the water is leaking. This procedure might take up to a week. To stop a pool of water forming on the floor, attach a strip of newspaper to the underside of the tank just below the leak, this will absorb most of the water prior to it reaches the floor.

text: My question is this.....last week a sup. insisted that I shuttle late airs to the airport because all the people with the proper security badges had been given the night off. I do not have a current valid badge ( mine has expired & I was never told to renew it ), now the procedure we have is that when the shuttle leaves the airbelt, your name (as the driver ) , how many pieces on board, the car you are driving and what time you leave are all relayed to our center at the airport. Now this sup wanted me to meet up with another air driver from the other center who does have a valid badge, swap cars , and let him proceed into the airport. I told the sup that I think that it was illegal to do so, which the reply was " we do it all the time ", I refused to do it. At the very least mgt should be guilty of falsifying records. Does anyone have any knowledge about just what is right ( according to the proper federal guidelines ) ?

LANAO DEL SUR, Philippines - Authorities have filed charges against 12 members of a notorious drug ring that peddled shabu to Maranaw villages in Malabang, Lanao del Sur.
Bryan Babang, director of the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (PDEA-ARMM), on Friday said the suspects are now awaiting prosecution.
The group was cornered by combined personnel of PDEA-ARMM, the Army's 6th Infantry Division, and the municipal police on Wednesday in Barangay Cabasaran in Malabang.
Babang said they learned of the drug peddling activities of the group from confidential informants in Malabang, among them local officials and traditional Maranaw elders.
The suspects belong to a group led by Intisar Sarip, Anisa Balindong Cali and Fahad Kasan Bangon, who were all nabbed during the raid.
The joint PDEA-Army-police raiding teams found P75,000 worth of methamphetamine hydrochloride (shabu), firearms, and a fragmentation grenade in their drug den in Barangay Cabasaran.
The followers of the three drug den operators - Nabel Como Ayunan, Japar Uga Sultan, Siehawe Dipatuan Marohom, Jamil Imam, Mohammad Aiman Dipatuan Sarip, Ainola Aguam Balindong, Asgar Kampong Casim, Kadar Sugo Manua and Camar Mama - are now in the custody of PDEA-ARMM.
Babang said all of them are to be prosecuted for violation of the Philippine Dangerous Drugs Act.

Senior Explorationist (1965)
Reinoud is a structural geologist (MSc Free University Amsterdam) by background and started his career in 1990 as a structural field geologist working mainly in the Middle and Far East (Yemen, Pakistan, Burma and Indonesia). He then worked for four years as an exploration consultant for Shell in their London, Brunei and The Hague offices. In 1998 he joined Clyde Petroleum working on exploration in the Dutch on- and offshore, combining a strong structural geological background with seismic interpretation. In 2008, following several take-overs by Conoco and Wintershall respectively, he joined the independent Canadian operator Cirrus in their new Dutch office where he was responsible for the Dutch exploration. Over the years he generated 11 exploration and appraisal proposals of wells which were drilled resulting in 4 commercial discoveries (among which Oranje-Nassau's first operated exploration well in Holland: Q16-Maas). A proven gas finder.
Reinoud always kept a strong focus on, and interest in the technical aspects of exploration. He developed an effective set of skills for evaluation, selection and maturation of opportunities with a strong emphasis on practical attainability. As such he actively has taken part in various stages of an E&P project's lifecycle from lead to production. He is a creative and independent analyst, quickly focusing and delivering on his task within a project team's objective. He is an expert Petrel user in all modules from seismic interpretation to static reservoir modeling. As a consequence of his interest in the technical part of exploration, he has developed a broad experience in seismic (re-)processing (both PreSTM and PreSDM) initializing and managing several processing projects himself. Reinoud has TCM and OCM responsibilities and manages exploration and production licence applications as well.

Critical Context
(Critical Edition of Young Adult Fiction)
Judson's biography is clearly an attempt to show the individual behind the idealized figure so common in earlier, worshipful portraits of Washington. Her obvious respect for her subject is not concealed, but the depiction frankly shows his failures as well as his successes. She clearly portrays the character traits that could make him appear aloof and patrician along with those feelings of inferiority to the highly educated politicians whom he was called upon to lead through the difficult period of the formation of the national government. Several times, Judson notes that, as military commander, Washington was powerless to prevent British successes and on occasion would have been defeated had the British acted more resolutely. History reveals, however, that these advantages were not exploited, and the Colonial cause prevailed in what seems almost a destined manner.
This 1951 biography makes little mention of the slave system in which Washington participated as a Virginia planter, civil rights issues not being as visible when the book was written. References to servants are usually made without comment on skin color or condition of servitude. Rather, as the research note by Worth Bailey at the beginning of the book observes, "She has portrayed simply and straightforwardly the character of the hero." Judson's own final comment serves as a footnote to her effort to bring this mythic figure to the light of common day, when she reminds her readers that "Today, as in his time, a land that would be free needs faithful men of high ideals and integrity—men like George Washington." This biography serves its purpose of providing such an example for others to emulate.

Perdita Durango (1997)
Obnoxious, heavy-handed genre gumbo
PERDITA DURANGO came late in the 1990s glut of violent, darkly comic couples-on-the-run road movies which was initiated by David Lynch's WILD AT HEART. A few minor characters from WILD AT HEART appear in PERDITA DURANGO, but director Alex de la Iglesia seems to have modeled his film not on Lynch's lyrical surrealism, but on the ham-fisted satire of Oliver Stone's NATURAL BORN KILLERS (or, even worse, Gregg Araki's THE DOOM GENERATION). (I also saw the Barry Gifford novella this was based on as a let-down from Gifford's original source novel for WILD AT HEART; as the novella also relied on mindless shock value, PERDITA does seem to have captured its spirit well.)
Romeo (Javier Bardem) and Perdita (Rosie Perez) are the "charismatic" heroes of the film, smuggling human fetuses and kidnapping a teenage American couple for a voodoo sacrifice. Iglesia depicts the teens in broadly caricatured fashion, and the viewer apparently is supposed to find their abuse at the hands of the older couple "funny". I don't object to black comedy per se, but that subgenre usually deals with sudden death (as in the man accidentally getting his head blown off in the backseat in PULP FICTION), while here the filmmakers expect us to be "amused" at prolonged suffering. Aimee Graham, playing the female half of the teen couple, strives to make her character more human and sympathetic, but it's not something the filmmakers will let her get away with. The impression given is that we are to prefer the south-of-the-border couple's uninhibited, self-destructive lifestyle over the American couple's suburban blandness-- Romeo and Perdita are more "authentic", I guess. (Do many artists still have that old Holden Caulfield worldview?) The only bit that really amused me is that both the killers and the suburbanites are Herb Alpert fans-- if that's "satire", though, I don't see the point.
The whole Starkweather/Fugate-derived violent road movie genre has been squeezed dry for at least a decade now. There have been great movies with amoral/psychopathic protagonists before (textbook example: A CLOCKWORK ORANGE), but PERDITA just isn't one of them.
Passage à l'acte (1993)
Astonishingly weird
This little-seen (at least in the United States) experimental film is a truly astonishing experience. I saw it in a film class, the likely place most people will see it, and at first I wondered if I was dreaming or hallucinating. I looked around at the other students in the class to see if they had similarly bewildered reactions.
This short film appropriates a domestic scene from the classic film of TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD and plays around with it, like a hip-hop DJ manipulating a record on a turntable. A character begins to say something, and that brief second of footage repeats rapidly, so the character seems to twitch and stutter mechanically. The film continually halts and repeats infinitesimal instants.
Ignore whatever pretensions about "deconstruction" and the like the filmmakers have dressed "Passage" up in and, if you get the chance to watch it, just cherish how totally bizarre it is. I wish it was more readily available on video or DVD.
Anarchism in America (1983)
Generous look at anti-state sentiment in the USA
This documentary focuses on the state of anarchism in America during the early 1980s, with brief looks at the history of anarchist movements. The narration and several of the interviewees imply that anarchism is deeply rooted in American character and tradition, more so than other countries. Students of anarchism will enjoy the interviews with prominent anarchist writers like Murray Bookchin and Karl Hess. Given the hostile split in anarchism between "right" (free-market) and "left" (socialist) anarchists, each claiming that the other faction doesn't deserve to be called "anarchist," it is gratifying to see this documentary treating both philosophies as equally valid, and indeed not so far off from each other. Many anarchists of both "right" and "left" persuasions will be shocked to hear Hess (a former speechwriter for Barry Goldwater!) favorably compare Emma Goldman with Ayn Rand, or hear him claim that anarchism embodies what he had always thought the Republican Party stood for.
In addition to interviews and photographic history, we see footage of demonstrations, worker-owned businesses, and Thoreauvian independent farms. The punk-rock scene is represented by the Dead Kennedys, who give an interview and perform. We even see a Libertarian Party convention (with special guest Murray Bookchin), even though the official Party position has always maintained that government should be minimized, not eliminated.
Both newcomers and those with an already developed interest in the subject will enjoy this film, which unfortunately is hard to find nowadays. I was rather bemused at the ending, however, when a caption reveals that this rather sympathetic portrait of anti-government ideas was partially funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities, _a government agency_. I'm getting a headache...
Sympathy for the Devil (1968)
Political blather and the process of creation
Godard made this film during his ultra-loopy "Marxist polemics" period, although before he stopped being so individualistic as to credit himself, rather than a "collective," as the director. It is a rare English-language Godard film, made in the UK. SYMPATHY FOR THE DEVIL alternates documentary scenes of the Rolling Stones developing and rehearsing the title track (a chilling examination of the seductiveness of evil behavior, and one of the Stones's best songs) with what are basically political skits, plus quick bits showing characters spray-painting political slogans on various surfaces, always cutting away before the character finishes the message.
The Stones scenes in themselves make the film worth seeing (for fans of the song, at least). The process of creating and refining an instantly classic song makes for truly fascinating viewing for those interested in making music and seeing how a song evolves. The viewer initially sees Mick Jagger demonstrating the song on acoustic guitar for the other band members. Gradually (in between political interruptions!), the band fleshes out the song's arrangement, adding keyboards, electric guitar, and multiple layers of percussion, developing this work into the rumbling tempest Stones fans know and love. At one point famous Stones hangers-on Anita Pallenberg and Marianne Faithfull appear to help with the "whoo-whoo" backing vocals. Near the end, Godard himself materializes to pass out cigarettes to the band members, an oddly post-coital gesture.
The film's other scenes? Amusingly absurd at times, the skits usually involve the characters reading various texts for the viewer. Black militants read from Eldridge Cleaver and the like, while the owner of a porno shop reads from what sounds like Nazi texts, while customers present their selections to him, give a Nazi salute, take their purchase and leave. (The equation of pornography with National Socialism here must have warmed Andrea Dworkin's heart.) The black militant scenes feel rather disturbing, as the viewer sees white women in white gowns led at gunpoint into a junkyard, underscored by Cleaver's thoughts on white women. Later the viewer sees the bloodied corpses of a couple of the women, and the film ends with a dead white woman draped over a crane adorned with red and black flags. Godard seems to be endorsing the vengeful Leftist by-any-means-necessary morality, the kind of thing the Stones's song warns against.
The completed version of "Sympathy of the Devil" plays under the film's ending; allegedly Godard was incensed by the producers' inserting the finished song here. Godard probably wanted the rehearsal scenes to symbolize the development of "the revolution" ("you'll get yours, bourgeoisie!"), and, since "the revolution" hadn't come yet, using the _complete_ song would ruin the parallel. That must also be why the vandals never get to complete their spray-painted slogans. I would be quite interested to see ONE PLUS ONE, Godard's director's cut of this film.
Letter to Jane: An Investigation About a Still (1972)
D'ya like Maoist Semiotics?
Godard and Gorin's collaboration LETTER TO JANE, a follow-up to their relatively more conventional TOUT VA BIEN (1972), is pretty much impossible to see these days, except in film school. Unsurprisingly, there's not much demand for it.
The viewer sees a series of still pictures, accompanied by narration by Godard and Gorin in heavily-accented English. The photo that keeps returning to view is one of Jane Fonda listening to Viet Cong members during her infamous visit to Hanoi. Fonda was the star of TOUT VA BIEN, and Godard and Gorin predictably criticize her for not being "radical" _enough_ in her activism-- the opposite of what the many haters of "Hanoi Jane" say. G & G analyze that and other photos of Fonda and other people, using trendy French theories of semiotics.
Ironically, the two philosophers criticize Fonda's thoughtful facade as reinforcing evil Cartesian thinking-centered philosophy-- all the while speaking of subjects they themselves _thought_ about a lot, and presenting this analysis as important. Being Maoists, of course, they want to validate revolutionary _action_.
If you're interested in conceptual art, like I, you will probably appreciate LETTER TO JANE, even if you disagree with the politics. Others will never see it, anyway. A novel format-- philosophizing-over-still-pictures is certainly unique in film history. However, as with TIMECODE, I wouldn't want every film to be like this-- especially with such dubious politics.
The narration itself is also quite amusing, for those who find bad English funny.
Reform School Girl (1994)
Above average cable remake
This film, directed by New World Pictures alumnus Jonathan Kaplan and starring cult favorite Aimee Graham, is part of the "Rebel Highway" series of remakes of 1950s juvenile-delinquent films.
For what was basically a chance for the filmmakers to have fun, _Reform School Girl_ is quite watchable. There are the allusions to McCarthyism characteristic of the "Rebel Highway" series (and a well-done general 50s ambiance), and the usual array of interesting types we meet in women-in-prison films. This one is nowhere near as graphic as a typical entry in that genre, but there is one lesbian love scene that is strikingly filmed and acted, suprisingly graphic for such young-looking actresses, and really kind of a tonal shift from the rest of the film. Unfortunately, the film never really resolves the lesbian relationship.
The only time I really cringed was the scene where Donna (Aimee Graham) started dancing and singing with the mop, and the camera began moving around and getting in the faces of the onlookers. This was a totally ridiculous scene (but I guess it's hard to pad these things out to 80 minutes).
Graham is stellar in the title role, a girl who has had to deal with abuse and, while in reform school, awakens to more positive sexual experiences. I really wish Hollywood would take more notice of her.
William S. Burroughs: Commissioner of Sewers (1991)
Skims the surface
This documentary on the famed experimental writer, directed by Klaus (DECODER) Maeck, is of value mostly to fans, although it may kindle some interest in the uninitiated. Nowhere near as in-depth as Howard Brookner's BURROUGHS: THE MOVIE, the film focuses on interviews with Burroughs and scenes of him giving public readings, with a concentration on THE WESTERN LANDS. For me, the most memorable bit was Burroughs talking about evolution and space travel. Could have been longer and have more extensive info (I assume Maeck was on a budget), but fans will not really complain.

Skip to comments.800 tons of farm fish found dead in mass die-off
Posted on 06/05/2011 7:06:34 PM PDT by aimhigh
More mysterious animal deaths have surfaced, this time in a volcanic lake in the Philippines. Reports say that 800 tons, or 1.6 million pounds, of fish have turned up dead in a lake near the Taal volcano, which is located south of the capital city of Manila. Officials say the deaths may have been a result of sudden temperature change in the water.
(Excerpt) Read more at naturalnews.com ...
ruh roh, I think we saw this in a movie. better get the grand parents and stay out of metal boats in acid lakes
What happened to the frogs?
A boon for the fish sauce industry...
They surrendered
The volcano probably released a lot of carbon monoxide into the water recently.
After all the "Yes you can" propaganda, they found out, "No, you couldn't."
should be good for the price of cat food!
Agreed, I bet there was a recent underground Earthquake that release a massive bubble of trapped CO2 into the lake, which resulted in the fish kill or a massive unseen algae bloom.
You are a national treasure. lol
A pocket of magma lies beneath the lake and leaks carbon dioxide (CO2) into the water, changing it into carbonic acid. Nyos is one of only three known exploding lakes to be saturated with carbon dioxide in this way, the others being Lake Monoun, 100 km (62 mi) away SSE, and Lake Kivu in Rwanda. On August 21, 1986, possibly triggered by a landslide, Lake Nyos suddenly emitted a large cloud of CO2, which suffocated 1,700 people and 3,500 livestock in nearby towns and villiges.[2]

You...you... mean it wasn't global warming that did it? I'm shocked!!!!!
***More mysterious animal deaths have surfaced, this time in a volcanic lake in the Philippines.****
Years ago I read in a Ripley's Believe it or Not, that about 2000 years ago a volcanic eruption in ancient Rome caused thousands of cooked fish to wash up on the shore. The locals ate them and a large number of people died.

Ok a step by step on how to use my GLITTER STYLES in Photoshop.
This is also valid for ANY photoshop style like shadows, metals, felt etc…AVAILABLE HERE
CLICK HERE for installation in PSE 4-8 & Other programs
First up go to WINDOW-STYLES so your styles palette is visible.
Go to load styles by clicking the small lines on the top right hand corner of the styles palette.
Open up anything you want to add glitter to.
Make sure the element is selected, then click on the icon in the STYLES palette.
To adjust the size of the glitter pattern simply double click the thumbnail, then adjust the pattern overlay %. I use 100% for designing. Always stick to 25%, 50% or 100% anything else will be blurry.
On a canvas any less dpi than 300 your glitter may look blurry. So adjust accordingly.
This star is 72 dpi. The style defaulted to 24% and was blurry at 100%.
At 50% pattern it was perfect.
Just use your eye and adjust till it looks good for YOU.
Then open up the sparkles in the read me file and add to your project!
All done!

I am a new digital scrapper and I have PSE7 – do you have explicit directions for a newbie? I want to buy this whole metals package – it is just gorgious but I need to be able to use it or get very frustrated..
Love your work – Thank you
Hi – I'm venturing into styles for the first time after years with Photoshop and 1+ year digiscrapping. I'm adding glitter to text in a small graphic and it is blurry. Even after resizing per this tutorial. Does the image to which I'm applying your glitter need to be a minimum size for it to work well. I love your colors. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong. Thanks!!!
hi i love these black flowers and black glitters on your page…. do you have any freebie elements in color black? hey thanx 🙂
For installing styles in PSE… try the free tutorials at Hummie's World. PSE6 is a two step process. You save the Style file from Flergs in one folder, then you have to create a little extra file in another folder so that it shows up in your dropdown menu. Seriously, check out Hummie's World because these glitters are really fun.
If you have her glitters and are not using them you're missing so much!!! i have a mac i hope this helps. Close Photoshop elements. Copy your style doc (.asl) [the little blue square with an fx on it]:
Macintosh HD\Library\Application Support\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\6.0\Locale\en-US\Photo Creations\Layer Styles
start Photoshop elements again (it will take a while the first time to load them) and YOU WILL HAVE THEM ON YOUR FX WINDOWS…you can put the glitter on your letters, shapes, etc…add a drop shadow and you have your own ALPHA!!! enjoy!!!!
I love your work and I would just love if you could create glitters for Paint Shop Pro X or higher.
sj9Bjz Thanks for good post
I have some of your glitters from your new Digitalkshop kit…and I can't figure out who to save the glitters properly in order to use them. I read the file you had included on how to save them, but when I followed the path of where to save it, I didn't have all the same files. I have PSE6. Any ideas? Either way, I love your new kit!
i purchased some of your glitters a long time ago and have neverfigured out how to use them. i thought this would help but i have photoshop elements so when i click on the window drop down menu i do not have the option of selecting style. i would get more of these if you could tell me how to use them!
