The provincial government is so far holding off on a threat to try to force the B.C.Teachers' Federation to pay $5 million a month to cover the cost of its members' benefits in response to their limited job action.
That possible financial weapon was broached earlier in the month by negotiators with the B.C. Public School Employers' Association and Education Minister Peter Fassbender said it remains an option, particularly if the union escalates its tactics.
"The BCTF has said they're taking this action to put pressure on us," Fassbender said Thursday in an interview. "We may need to add some commensurate pressure to the BCTF if we find we're not getting any solid options from them."
The union has demanded pay hikes estimated at 13.5 per cent over three years, while the government has offered 6.5 per cent over the first six years of an intended 10-year deal.
Fassbender said the BCTF has made some movement in negotiations, but not a significant amount.
He expressed disappointment that despite continued talks the union opted Wednesday to begin its first-stage strike action – restricting administrative duties and supervision of students outside of class time – a move that has prompted several rural districts to cancel recess.
The BCPSEA had notified the union any strike action could trigger a call for it to cover health and welfare benefits for B.C.'s 40,000 teachers, estimated at $5 million a month.
"I don't want to inflict pain on anybody," Fassbender said. "But there are tools available to government as there are to the union.
"I don't think we want to put out any threats but by the same token we need to ensure that we have stability in the classrooms. That's our goal."
BCTF president Jim Iker said he doubts the Labour Relations Board would approve a request ordering the union to pay benefits, noting a similar effort to make the union pay 15 per cent of wages was denied in the last teachers' strike.
"We would see that as retaliatory and punitive for them to even think about or threaten that the union pay the cost of the benefits when teachers are in the classroom working as hard as they normally do with students," Iker said.
Iker said it is the government that has not moved much off its position, including a refusal to bargain smaller class sizes and more access to specialist teachers.
"Our hope is we can get this deal done by the end of June and not be going into September still at the bargaining table."
Overshadowing the labour dispute is last year's B.C. Supreme Court ruling that the province must restore class size and composition to what existed in 2001.
The province has appealed the decision, saying it would impose enormous costs and disrupt programs.
Waiting until the fall for an appeal court ruling would be unfortunate, said Dan Laitsch, an associate education professor at SFU.
"It really is kind of an all-or-nothing case," Laitsch said. "They're playing a fairly high stakes poker game because either side could lose big depending on the outcome of the appeal."
Ideally, he said, the two sides would recognize it's too risky to wait and instead craft a settlement that doesn't subject schools to a months-long strike action.
Laitsch said budget shortfalls now surfacing at many districts mean the province will be under pressure to find more money for the school system regardless of the outcome of the teachers' dispute.

Rafael Nadal Wins Record Seventh French Open Title
Rafael Nadal beat world No. 1 Novak Djokovic, 6-4, 6-3, 2-6, 7-5, on Monday to win the championship of the rain-delayed French Open. The victory gave Nadal a record-setting seventh French Open men's singles title, allowing him to pass Bjorn Borg for most titles won on the red clay of Roland Garros.
Nadal was ahead two sets to one, but he trailed Djokovic 2-1 in the fourth set when play was halted by rain on Sunday. The two tennis titans resumed the match Monday morning, when Nadal asserted his dominance and broke Djokovic's serve in the first game. The fourth set was even at 5-5, when Djokovic made several errors, including a double fault on match point.
Nadal now has an incredible 52-1 lifetime record at the French Open. His only setback was a loss to Robin Soderling in 2009.

OPRFHS's theatre program offers students two different avenues of study, one curricular (classroom-based) and one extra-curricular. Both give students in-depth and hands-on experience in the dramatic arts, and while we believe the emphasis on educational theatre is on 'education,' we strive to be as rigorous and professional a program as possible so that our students are well-prepared if they choose to continue their theatre studies.
Our curricular offerings include (not all courses are available every semester):
Acting 1 | Musical Theatre Seminar |
Acting 2 | Musical Comedy Workshop (summer school only) |
Directing Workshop | Theatre Technology and Design |
Advanced Theatre Study |
Acting students will explore all varieties of techniques and dramatic forms, building audition and performance skills, as well as learning theatre history and terminology. Production students will learn the principles of scenic design and lighting, and the Theatre Technology class directly supports the Studio200 performance series.Any of these courses will satisfy the school's fine arts graduation requirement, and Theatre Technology will also satisfy the applied arts requirement.

Mech Design for the Entertainment Industry
with Furio Tedeschi
In this mech design workshop, Concept Artist Furio Tedeschi covers his workflow and techniques for creating concepts for film and games. Starting with the blockout phase, he demonstrates how he uses ZBrush to create the general blockout, then moves on to mesh cleanup and refinement, followed by kitbashing for adding detail and levels of complexity to the model. Furio then preps the model for material assignment in ZBrush, moving over to Keyshot for final rendering where various materials are applied to the mech. An environment HDRI is selected that best illustrates the design, then passes are sent to Photoshop for final touch ups and presentation.

My recent Removr updates were rejected with the note:
"Please remove any references of iOS 5 from your release notes and/or application description."
Thankfully, Apple no longer requires reuploading a binary when it's rejected for metadata issues. Supposedly just changing the description (it now says 'bug fixes' rather than 'now compatible with iOS 5') and replying to the message in resolution center should be enough to have it reviewed again.
On a side note, I've heard that iOS 5 beta 2 resolves the issue with SQLite3 opening databases in the app bundle, although I haven't verified it yet.
Update: Apple has approved the updates after simply changing the description without resubmitting the binary. Removr 1.3.3 & Removr Free 1.3.3 are now available.

Compare Cheap Flights from Palmerston north to Lombok, Indonesia
Need a holiday lounging on pristine sandy white beaches? Check out Webjet's latest deals, find the cheapest flights and start packing for your tropical adventure in Lombok, Indonesia!
Lombok Guide
Know Before You Go
- Head to Lombok's southern coast if you want empty, pristine white sand beaches. There is hardly any infrastructure in this part of the island, and fewer visitors venture this far down as well.
- It is illegal to trek alone on Mt. Rinjani. You will need to hire a guide and porters for this multi-day hike. For the best value of money, do your research and choose a trekking company that is eco-friendly.
- Due to unpredictable ocean conditions, boats and ferries are cancelled without warning. Give yourself some breathing room and avoid booking your flight on the same day you are travelling between Bali and Lombok.
- Bartering is normal in Lombok. Everything from accommodation, bike rentals and physical items can be haggled to a lower price.
- If you plan on swimming or snorkelling in the ocean, keep a look out for stonefish. They are common in the coral reefs and can be poisonous if stepped on.
- In Lombok and other parts of Indonesia, tipping is customary. Leave a 10% tip for your server at restaurants and tip your hotel porter, tour guide and car hire as well.
Getting Around Lombok
- From the late afternoon, public transport becomes scarce. If you need to get around after dark, you will need to book a taxi. It's an inexpensive way to get around Lombok, and all taxis are metered.
- If you have an International Driver's Licence, you can hire a car for the duration of your stay in Lombok. Motorcycles are also available for rent and are a great way to explore the island. Keep in mind that if you rent a bike in South Lombok, you aren't allowed to drive it onto Northern or Central Lombok without permission from the owner.
- Buses are another cheap way to get around the island if you want to go any of the main towns. However, it can be challenging to figure out the schedule without knowing the local language.
- For short to medium distances, Bemo's are the best way to get around Lombok. It's an inexpensive mode of public transportation that is widely used by the locals. If you do have large bags, the driver will charge you extra.
Best time to visit Lombok
When is The Best Time to Visit Lombok?
For great weather, lower prices and fewer crowds, visit Lombok in early June and after Chinese New Year in September. You'll also find cheaper airfare for this period if you book your flights 12 weeks in advance. If you are a surfer, the best time to experience Lombok's world-class surf breaks is from April to November.
Peak season is in August, December and January. With an increase in tourists, there is heavy congestion on the roads, and you can expect to pay almost double for accommodation. Shop owners are less likely to drop their prices, and popular restaurants will need reservations.
With the limited number of flights to Lombok, it's recommended to book your trip a few weeks before peak season to avoid disappointment.
Low season is during Lombok's wet season (October to March). Despite the threat of a downpour, the weather is still great during this time. You'll be able to negotiate better deals on accommodation and tours.
Even though prices will be higher during the dry season (April to August), it's the perfect time to visit for multi-day hikes. There will be little chance of rain, and the cooler weather will make the hike easier with none of the wet season's high humidity and temperatures.
Airports in Lombok
Lombok International Airport
Lombok International is the island's only operational airport. It is located near the city of Praya and is 40km south of Mataram.
As with other Indonesian airports, you will be subject to a departure tax. For domestic departures make sure you have IDR 25,000 or IDR 100,000 for international flights. It can only be paid in the local currency so withdraw or exchange your money beforehand.
Getting to and from Lombok International Airport
There are two ways you can get from Lombok International Airport to your hotel.
DAMRI Bus
The DAMRI public bus runs from the airport to Mataram and Senggigi. It runs from 3:30 am to 20:00 pm and departs every 1.5 hours from the airport. Fares cost IDR 25,000 to Mataram and IDR 35,000 to Senggigi.
If you want to take a taxi from the airport to your hotel, you'll need to purchase an airport taxi surcharge. Once you have bought the coupon proceed to the taxi rank outside the arrivals terminal. All taxis are metered and are available 24 hours from the airport. Depending on your final destination, you can expect to pay IDR 200,000 one way.

As negotiations continue in Washington over a plan to avoid the fiscal cliff — that combination of tax hikes and spending cuts scheduled for Jan. 1 — one big sticking point is whether to raise tax rates for high-income Americans.
Congress and the White House constructed the cliff last year, thinking it would force them to focus on solving the deficit problem. But they're still battling over what approach makes the most sense.
President Obama and other Democrats have been clear that they think raising tax rates for the wealthy is a sensible way to raise revenue and narrow the budget gap. The president says he wants to raise the top rates a few percentage points to 36 and 39.6 percent. That's where they were in the 1990s before the Bush tax cuts.
Sen. Charles Schumer of New York made the case for higher rates again Thursday.
"The election said raise the top rates on the highest-income people, and our democracy still works well enough that they're going to have no choice but to go along with that," he said.
But Republicans argue that raising tax rates for the wealthy would be counterproductive. House Speaker John Boehner repeated that view at a news conference Friday.
"Increasing tax rates draws money away from our economy that needs to be invested in our economy to put the American people back to work," he said. "It's the wrong approach."
According to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, about 200,000 jobs would be lost next year if rates for the wealthy were increased. But the CBO also says the positive economic effects of deficit reduction would outweigh the potential dampening of job creation.
Glenn Hubbard, dean of the Columbia Business School at Columbia University, says raising rates is not the best approach.
"Just as an economist, it seems to me what you'd like to do is raise people's average tax rate — that is, their tax burden — but not their marginal tax rate, which is what affects decisions to start businesses, to hire people, to save, invest, to work," he says. "And it's pretty easy to do that by simply limiting deductions and exclusions for the well-to-do."
Economic theory says that when the government takes a bigger bite of your income as you move up the ladder into higher tax rates, you are less likely to work more, invest and build businesses. So economic growth and job creation suffer.
But William Gale, co-director of the Tax Policy Center, says evidence in the real world suggests the effects are small.
"A variety of things affect the growth rate of the economy, not just taxes," he says. "And I think to some extent the public discussion overemphasizes the role of taxes in generating economic expansion."
Gale says there are many studies that suggest that raising top tax rates a few percentage points is unlikely to have a big effect on growth. And he says that when tax rates were raised in 1993 to balance the budget, the economy grew dramatically for the rest of the decade.
"The point here is not that tax-rate increases cause economic expansion," he says, "but rather that they didn't get in the way of what was an extremely robust economic expansion."
But Columbia University's Hubbard, who was also Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney's top economic adviser, says the goal should be finding the best tax system to support growth.
"I'd rather see us talk about tax reform," he says. "That is, have the Congress say, 'OK, here's the dollars that we need to raise in revenue. Now let's talk about a better tax system.' An example of that would be the Bowles-Simpson [plan]. It would get the revenue goal the president wants, but in a tax system that, frankly, would be healthier for our economy."
The Bowles-Simpson approach, proposed by the leaders of Obama's deficit-reduction commission, ended or capped virtually all deductions and tax breaks, like the mortgage interest and retirement savings deductions. The plan then used the added revenue to reduce the deficit and lower tax rates, not raise them.
Hubbard acknowledges that the details couldn't be worked out before Jan. 1. But he says the goals could be agreed upon and the details worked out next year.

Don't Get Brainwashed!
In January I spent four days preaching at Emmanuel College, a Christian liberal arts school in Georgia. I love speaking to college students because they are spiritually hungry, they love passionate worship, and I can preach in jeans without offending anyone.
On the third night (after a young man got saved and delivered from drug addiction—yeah God!) I told the kids I needed to get brutally honest. They gave me permission to shoot straight. Because I genuinely care about them, I warned them about four lies they must confront.
Every Christian in this country must learn to dissect these lies using the Word of God. The devil is working overtime today to gain control of our nation's soul. This is not a time for Christians to be squishy in their faith or spineless in their convictions. We must plant our feet on the bedrock principles of the Bible and oppose each of these lies:
1. Hell does not exist. Jesus preached about hell more than anyone in the Bible. His words dripped with love, but He didn't soft-pedal when addressing the eternal consequences of sin. The true gospel is a double-edged sword that offers both the "goodness and severity of God" (Rom. 11:22, emphasis added). That's why hell is one four-letter word we should use more often—not to condemn people but to warn them that mercy has a time limit.
The world rejects the concept of hell because it's too exclusive. Our Oprah-ized culture insists that everyone deserves a warm and fuzzy life free of consequences. But if we truly love people we will explain that hell is not a metaphor—it is a real place of dreadful separation from God that sinners choose when they reject Him.
2. God didn't create the world. 2009 is the 150th anniversary of the publication of Charles Darwin's The Origin of Species, so you can be sure the scientific community will bombard us this year with more "proof" of this sketchy theory. The mainstream media and academia insist that evolution is pure fact. Anyone who dares to challenge it is considered a religious idiot.
The world does not want to believe in a Creator because if He is real, then He has ultimate authority over His creation. On the flip side, man has no moral responsibility if he crawled out of a primordial soup, grew fins, then legs, and then became a talking ape. Evolution is not really about science at all—it is about rebellion against God's rule over us.
3. All religions lead to God. This isn't a new lie, but it is enjoying a revival today. The doctrine of universalism—which states that all people will ultimately gain salvation and enjoy heaven—has become the religion of the masses.
Even some charismatic and Pentecostal preachers such as Carlton Pearson of Oklahoma and D.E. Paulk of Atlanta have abandoned biblical orthodoxy to embrace this heresy. They are now on a crusade to rewrite Christian theology—and they have allies in some mainline denominations (such as the Episcopal Church) where the authority of Scripture is denied.
Christians who embrace universalism are like the neutered prophets of Baal in Jezebel's court. They preach a powerless message that can't change anyone. We must arise in the spirit of Elijah to prove to the world that the one true God answers by fire.
4. Man can redefine morality. Leaders in media, politics, education and entertainment are plotting the overthrow of conventional morals. They want a hedonistic world with no rules and no guilt. This was most obvious when Newsweek published a recent cover story brazenly claiming that the Bible approves of same-sex marriage.
A lying spirit has invaded many mainline churches and is convincing weak Christians to change their views about homosexuality, abortion and fornication. Evil is called good while those who stand for the biblical values of purity and traditional marriage are labeled bigots. If we ignore these lies they will engulf us.
We cannot be silent on the issues the devil is attacking. If you are wavering in your faith on any of these four fundamentals, get honest about your doubts, repent of your lukewarmness and get your mind renewed. Don't become a brainwash victim.

Savory or Sweet–Salsa's a Great Addition to Your Meal
Up until a few years ago, I thought of salsa in the traditional snack food/appetizer way–"salsa and chips." The version I was familiar with was the tomato salsa, usually made with tomatoes, peppers, cilantro and onion. I still love tomato salsa, but I've found that there are so many other versions, each with their own unique flavor, and salsa can be used in far more interesting ways than as a side to tortilla chips!
One of my favorite ways to use salsa is as a topping to chicken or fish, especially this time of year when you can do something simple, like grill your chicken, topping it with a flavorful salsa is the perfect addition. This Grilled Salmon with Avocado Salsa is a perfect example of adding salsa to grilled fish.
What's really nice is if you add a blend of sweet and savory–a combo of fruit and veggie in the salsa. Topping an omelet with a fresh salsa that includes mangos, tomatoes, peppers and sweet onions not only makes an ordinary omelet something special, it adds an extra serving of fruit and veggies to your day.
And what about dessert? This deliciously sweet Strawberry Mango Salsa combines two in-season fruits into a salsa that can be enjoyed with cinnamon sugar pita chips as a sweet treat!
Finally, if you love those traditional salsa and chips as much as I do, try different salsa versions. Roasted Corn Salsa, Texas-Style Citrus Salsa and Papaya & Black Bean Salsa are savory and simple to prepare. Enjoy!

County commissioners approve budget after 3-2 vote
Published 12:00 am Tuesday, June 25, 2013
SALISBURY — Despite protestors calling for commissioners to restore school funding, county leaders adopted a budget that cuts schools by the proposed $225,000.
The budget passed with 3-2 vote at Monday's meeting of the Rowan County Board of Commissioners. Chairman Jim Sides and Commissioner Jon Barber opposed the budget.
Commissioner Chad Mitchell, who was not present for last week's 2-2 deadlock, said he would vote to approve the budget if county leaders agreed to give the schools any additional revenue that the state budget might bring the county. That motion passed 4-1, with Barber dissenting after he said the schools need even more funding.
Rowan County could get more than $800,000 if the proposed House budget passes, according to information from the N.C. Association of County Commissioners.
With Mitchell's motion, schools could recoup that $225,000 in lost revenue if the state budget provides such an amount to the county.
But County Manager Gary Page warned that the Senate's bill, on the other hand, would take roughly $1.4 million out of the county's pocket if it passes.
"If they were to compromise tomorrow, we would still probably lose money," Page said. "I hope like everybody else it's the House budget."
Mitchell opened Monday by saying his only real issue with the budget was the school cut.
"It was not a bad budget," he said. "I thought it was a good budget."
Rowan County had its own "Moral Monday" as about two dozen protestors held signs and applauded loudly after some county leaders discussed the need for funding.
Barber's comments, specifically his remarks about teacher unemployment, drew praise from the crowd.
"In my opinion, anything that we can do to keep those people off the unemployment line — which is going to cost taxpayers even more money — is better," he said.
Barber angled for increased funding for schools this year, despite Page's budget that outlined a projected drop in enrollment as the reason for cuts.
Barber said he couldn't vote for Mitchell's motion that would give schools the $225,000 if the House budget passes because he said schools needed more.
"I can't support this simply because I know we can do better," Barber said.
Sides agreed with Barber in his disagreement with the budget — but for a very different reason.
Sides hoped to convince commissioners to cut a proposed $43,000 increase to the Rowan County Economic Development Commission out of the budget.
Sides told the Post last week the organization needed to be re-examined before more funding was provided.
"I'm 99 percent satisfied with it. There's just 1 percent I couldn't agree with," Sides said last week. "The EDC funding. An additional $13,000 in funding this year, plus the $30,000 Mike wants for a new position. I think it's time we look at the EDC in relation to its set up, its make up and its function — what we expect out of them. It might be that we need to do something different than what we're doing."
But Sides' motion died without a second.
Holding signs criticizing school funds that have been cut in recent years, the protestors, calling themselves "Rowan Concerned Citizens," said more attention needs to be brought to the funding issues for local school systems.
Whitney Peckman, an organizer of the group, said Monday's protest wasn't solely about convincing commissioners to tear up the proposed budget, but to be a voice for the schools in the future.
"What we are hoping to do is to gather together and put a face on our concern for future budget issues and future decisions made by county commissioners in regards to education," Peckman said.
Another organizer, Emily Perry, said public schools across the state can't afford more cuts without significantly impacting the education for students.
"We don't want our children to be under-educated and uneducated. We can't afford to cut. We can't do that," Perry said. "We understand about the cuts in Raleigh, but these guys talk to them and they need to let them know that on a local level we're not going to tolerate any more of this. There are things you can do."
Following Monday's vote, Peckman said the meeting went as expected.
"I think that we got as much as we could expect considering that the process had already come to a conclusion," she said.
The group said they intend to gather at future commissioners' meetings, starting with a July 1 hearing.

Spice Jars: Not the kind that come in matching sets either. Not only do they very rarely hold all of the spices that you actually use, it is a pain to transfer the small granules from one container to another. Your best bet would be to put up a standard shelf to set all of the spices that you buy from the store. Leave them in their original jars and it will add a great touch of color. Not to mention, be within easy reach if when your baking or experimenting with new recipes.
Cookbooks: Put any cookbooks that you may have on display. You can choose an area on a counter top or build a special shelf just for the purpose. If you do not have a lot at first, do not worry. They can be bought at thrift stores and discount stores for cheap. Choose them because you want to try to cook authentic Italian and Mexican dinners; or simply because you like the look of the cover. Just make sure to keep them all in one place to show off your varied collection.
Artwork: You can go with the traditional still life painting and prints but another option would be to search for old advertisements to frame. There are some funny ones out there and you can find them in old magazines at flea markets; as well as buy them individually from antique shops and online auction places.
Now that you have gotten and idea on how to decorate with a cooking (chef) theme in your kitchen, you are sure to find other ways to incorporate your passion. Decorating with food doesn't always have to mean using actual food in the scheme. But why not throw in that old fashioned fruit bowl anyway? You may be surprised to see what a wonderful centerpiece that it makes to finish off the look.

Director, Producer, Writer
Carol Reed was born in Putney, south London, on 30 December 1906, one of six children of the actor-manager Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree and his mistress, Beatrice Mae Pinney. Tree, who was respectably married, supported his second household substantially. Reed grew up in solid middle-class comfort, and was sent to a traditional public school, King's School, Canterbury, which he loathed. He planned to follow his father and become an actor, but in 1922 his mother, hoping to deflect this ambition, sent him to Massachusetts to join his elder brother on a chicken farm. Having neither taste nor aptitude for farming, Reed was back in England within six months. His mother gave way, and he joined a company headed by Dame Sybil Thorndike, making his stage debut in 1924.
Edgar Wallace, the alarmingly prolific thriller writer, had formed a troupe to put on stage adaptations of his novels. Reed joined him and appeared in three Wallace productions, doubling as assistant stage manager. When Wallace accepted the chairmanship of the newly formed British Lion Film Corporation in 1927, Reed became his personal assistant, helping to supervise filmed adaptations of Wallace's thrillers during the day while still acting and stage managing in the evenings. This hectic double life continued until Wallace died of pneumonia in 1932. Abandoning the stage for good, Reed moved to Ealing Studios as dialogue director for Associated Talking Pictures, then being run by Basil Dean.
At Ealing Reed swiftly worked his way up from dialogue director to assistant director. His first experience of directing was on It Happened in Paris (1935), a comedy directed by Robert Wyler (William Wyler's elder brother) to which Reed contributed additional footage. The following year he directed his first solo film, Midshipman Easy, adapted from Captain Marryat's Victorian adventure novel. Graham Greene, writing in The Spectator, felt that Reed showed "more sense of the cinema than most veteran British directors". Greene was even more taken by Reed's next film, Laburnum Grove (1936), adapted from a stage comedy by J.B. Priestley. "Here at last is an English film one can unreservedly praise," he wrote with an almost audible sigh of relief; both films, he went on, were "thoroughly workmanlike and unpretentious, with just the hint of a personal manner which makes one believe that Mr Reed, when he gets the right script, will prove far more than efficient".
The right script took a while to arrive. Reed's next half-dozen pictures were an assortment of second-features, mostly compromised by the jaunty parochialism that beset so many British films of the period. The use of location shooting - uncommon at this time in British cinema - lends Bank Holiday (1938) a touch of documentary realism, but the portrayal of its working-class characters now looks stilted and patronising. The most individual film of this batch, in its bizarre way, is Climbing High (1939), a screwball comedy starring Jessie Matthews and Michael Redgrave, but Reed's unhappiness with this kind of fluffy material is palpable.
The documentary influence, fitfully evident in Bank Holiday, makes itself felt to more purpose in Reed's first major film, The Stars Look Down (1939). Adapted from a novel by the popular middlebrow author A.J. Cronin, the film charts the rise of an ambitious, idealistic young man (Michael Redgrave), a miner's son, to a seat in Parliament, diluting its political message - urging public ownership of the mines - with a novelettish romantic subplot. But there's a grim authenticity to the pithead scenes, notably a mining disaster that invites comparison with G.W.Pabst's Kameradschaft (Germany/France, 1931). By contrast, Reed's next film openly emulates Hitchcock. Night Train to Munich (1940), a comedy-thriller with Rex Harrison enjoying himself as a British agent impersonating a Nazi officer, might be seen as an unofficial sequel to The Lady Vanishes - the same screenwriters (Frank Launder and Sidney Gilliat), the same train-bound high-jinks, and, with Basil Radford and Naunton Wayne reprising their cricket-mad buffoons Charters and Caldicott, even two of the same characters. But given its acknowledgement of Nazi horrors - the systematic extermination of Czech intellectuals, the glimpses into concentration camp life - Night Train's comic elements inevitably seem less amusing.
With The Stars Look Down and Night Train to Munich well received in both Britain and America, Reed's second-feature years were behind him. But though he could now command better material, he seemed to be uncertain about what kind of film suited him best. The Girl in the News (1941) is a routine thriller; Kipps (1941), adapted from H.G. Wells' semi-autobiographical novel, with Michael Redgrave uneasy in the title role, feels stiff and old-fashioned; while The Young Mr. Pitt (1942), a propaganda piece masquerading as a biopic (Napoleon = Hitler, Pitt = Churchill), proved that costume drama was not Reed's forte. Still, his technical skill was by now evident, as was his sympathetic handling of actors. Redgrave recalled him as "the gentlest of directors... able, with infinite pains and care, to bestow on his actors the feeling that everything was up to them and that all he was doing was to make sure that they were seen to their best advantage."
Reed's next assignment, The New Lot (1943), was a forty-two minute dramatised documentary commissioned by the Army Kinematograph Service to show civilians joining up what they could expect from life in the Army: the film demonstrates how new recruits from various social backgrounds become moulded into a cohesive fighting unit. Reed's handling of the subject was so well received that the authorities asked him to expand it to fit a full-length feature for public showing. The result was The Way Ahead (1944). Eric Ambler and Peter Ustinov's script explores the confusion, bewilderment and resentment experienced by many conscripts, and Reed captures the sparse discomfort of service life. The stress on tradition and hierarchy recalls Noël Coward and David Lean's In Which We Serve (1943); but with David Niven as an up-from-the-ranks officer and William Hartnell as the Sergeant-Major whose bark is worse than his bite, this is very much an everyman's army where ordinary men can become modest heroes.
From the documentary-tinged The Way Ahead Reed moved on to The True Glory (1945), a compilation of combat footage shot by dozens of Allied cameramen, tracing the last year of the war in Europe from the D-Day invasion to the fall of Berlin. Since this was an Anglo-American venture, Reed was teamed as co-director and deviser with the American film-maker Garson Kanin. Though saddled with a stilted, would-be poetic voice-over commentary, the film tells its story with power and lucidity, and is most eloquent when the combatants and civilians involved are allowed to speak for themselves. Hailed in America as one of the finest cinematic accounts of the war, The True Glory received an Oscar for Best Documentary in 1946.
Now considered the foremost British director, able to choose any subject he liked, Reed was lucky enough to hit on three good scripts in succession. Odd Man Out (1947), adapted from a novel by the Ulster Protestant writer F.L. Green, is Reed's first truly personal film and has 'major work of art' written all over it, maybe a touch too plainly (the influence of Marcel Carné and Jacques Prévert's pre-war poetic realism, and the contemporaneous American noir cycle, is obvious). But Reed's sense of place - he preferred to shoot on location whenever possible - and his openness to his actors prevent the film being merely an academic exercise in style. James Mason brings an impressive sensitivity to his portrayal of Johnny McQueen, the wounded IRA man on the run in a snowy, nocturnal Belfast, struggling towards his personal Calvary through the gathering shadows of Robert Krasker's moody cinematography. Reed and his screenwriter R.C. Sherriff, co-scripting with Green, erased the novel's Protestant bias; Reed was no political film-maker, and the film takes no sides.
Odd Man Out was made for the Rank Organisation, but with the creative climate at Rank hardening Reed moved over to Alexander Korda's London Films. And it was Korda, with his flair for such linkages, who teamed Reed with the writer who had spotted his talent a decade earlier, Graham Greene. Reed, Greene later wrote, was "the only director I know with that particular warmth of human sympathy, the extraordinary feeling for the right face in the right part, the exactitude of cutting, and not least important the power of sympathising with an author's worries and an ability to guide him".
Their first film together, The Fallen Idol (1948), was adapted from Greene's short story 'The Basement Room', in which a lonely, sensitive boy in London, son of an ambassador, becomes devoted to the embassy's butler and unwittingly betrays him to the police. Under Reed's direction the eight-year-old Bobby Henrey, making his screen debut, gives a performance of exceptional subtlety and emotional impact, while the use of wide-angle lenses heightens the chilly, formal spaces of the embassy that enclose him. But, accomplished and deftly controlled as it is, The Fallen Idol feels like a chamber piece beside the two baroque, expressionistic works made on either side.
The film that followed, The Third Man (1949), is widely reckoned his masterpiece. If Reed's limitation as a director was that he was only ever as good as his collaborators, here he benefited from the best. Apart from Greene and Orson Welles (onscreen for barely fifteen minutes as Harry Lime, yet dominating the whole film with his unseen presence), there was Krasker again with his skewed, tilted framings and melodramatic lighting, and the wheedling, insinuating zither score of Anton Karas; and, far from least, the shattered occupied city of Vienna, its professional charm turned sour and corrupt, visibly embodying the intolerable burden of post-war guilt. In The Third Man Reed's feeling for location and his flair for casting and direction of actors reach their apogee; every role, down to the smallest, is impeccably cast, and the film's disenchanted, haunted romanticism still exerts considerable power.
The Third Man scored a huge international success, and in some quarters Reed was now being touted as the world's greatest living director (though never by Reed himself, a modest and self-effacing man). But from this highpoint his career went into abrupt decline. Outcast of the Islands (1952), adapted from a novel by Joseph Conrad, should in theory have provided ideal material, with its powerful sense of place and its theme of a proudly self-sufficient outsider who contrives his own doom. But the film is seriously weakened by its script, and neither plot nor characters ever come fully into focus. Poor scripting also affected The Man Between (1953), a cold-war thriller set in Berlin with James Mason playing a charming Harry Lime-style crook; inevitably, it felt like a tired retread of The Third Man.
Even more disappointing were Reed's first two ventures into colour. A Kid for Two Farthings (1955) is indigestible whimsy with a sentimentalised East End setting. Trapeze (US, 1956), despite its widescreen circus thrills, is a stodgy love triangle wasting the teaming of Burt Lancaster and Tony Curtis that would prove so rivetingly lethal a year later in Alexander Mackendrick's Sweet Smell of Success (US, 1957). The Key (1958), a long black-and-white Second World War film that explores the morbid connections between romance, superstition and death, was more ambitious, but it is let down by the ponderous improbabilities of Carl Foreman's script.
Our Man in Havana (1960), based on Greene's novel about a vacuum-cleaner salesman in Cuba struggling to pass himself off as a British spy, marked something of a return to form. The film revealed a lighter, more sardonic side to both men's work; shrewd use was made of Alec Guinness (the salesman) and Noël Coward (his spy chief), while American comic Ernie Kovacs enjoyed the finest role of his brief film career as the local police chief. Reed next took on the remake of Mutiny on the Bounty (US, 1962) but proved unable to cope with Marlon Brando's ego and resigned from the film, handing over to Lewis Milestone. After The Running Man (1963), a drably routine thriller, and the commercial disaster of the Michelangelo epic The Agony and the Ecstasy (US, 1965), Reed seemed to have hit rock bottom barely fifteen years after his greatest triumph. But he had one final unexpected success to come: his first and only musical. Oliver! (1968), adapted from Oliver Twist with music by Lionel Bart, considerably softened the brutalities of Dickens' novel, but got by on the brio of its song-and-dance numbers and a fair helping of Dickensian gusto. The film picked up a stack of Academy Awards, including Reed's only Oscar as Best Director.
Given this revival in his fortunes, Reed should have been able to round off his career with some worthwhile assignments, but his judgement seemed to have deserted him. He directed only two more films, The Last Warrior (US, 1970) and Follow Me (1971), both of them miscast and leadenly scripted. They received minimal distribution and passed almost unnoticed.
Michael Powell observed of Reed that "Carol could put a film together like a watchmaker puts together a watch". The watchmaker in him is visible in his early films, the films of a complete professional able to make something presentable out of virtually any kind of material, though rarely imposing any personal signature. Then, three times in rapid succession, he directed films that seemed to reveal something deeper and darker in his personality - a fatalism, a sense of the tragic ironies of life. After Odd Man Out, The Fallen Idol and The Third Man he appeared to lose his professional assurance, as if this moment of self-revelation had disturbed his equilibrium. Most of the later films are a sad disappointment. But for that brief time in the late 1940s Carol Reed was perhaps what some earlier critics had claimed him to be: the greatest director in the world.

Such factors can include her family, the relationships she has – her spiritual values and her work environment. Beyond this she is also affected by her position in the community. The reason why women's health is different to men's health is due to the fact that women react differently to disease.
The key to a woman improving her health lies in understanding the factors which affect her. The emphasis ought to be on preventative health and engaging in education on how best to have a healthy lifestyle.
In the past, life was very difficult for women. The ability to talk openly about various issues was difficult especially relative to reproduction. Society in those days was less open and there was an underlying fear of how a woman was viewed. Many women became mothers and wives at a very young age. There were many pregnancies some of which were wanted and others which were not.
Back then childbirth itself was challenging and many women died while giving birth.
Today things have changed dramatically; this of course depends on where you live in the world. These days' women's health issues are far more open and are readily discussed.
There is a lot of information out there which can provide for an enriching learning experience where each individual can benefit from a greater understanding of the issues involved.
There is so much information available on the subject of women's health that shelves of bookstore space are now devoted to the subject. Women today can be proud of the fact that information, dialogue and discussion of reproductive disorders are freely available.
In the western world access to this information and the freedom to choose is of the utmost importance however even though all this information is available there are some topics which still remain in the shadows and without this information certain options remain limited.
Dietary information is very important to a woman's well being. Women have specific nourishing requirements relative to their biochemistry. Optimal health will be directly affected by the nutrients provided by fats and proteins. For example fat-soluble vitamins are vital when it comes to nourishing the endocrine system and the reproductive organs.
We all know that there is lots of information out there but it is the danger of inaccurate information which can capture a woman in a vicious cycle of ineffective treatment and disease. As a consequence it is important to identify the source and look for reference material which supports any claims made.

WP Performance Pack is your first choice for speeding up WordPress core the easy way, no core patching required. It features options to improve localization performance and image handling (faster upload, reduced webspace usage). Combined with CDN support for images, both on Frontend and Backend, this offers similar image acceleration as Jetpack's Photon.
Improve localization performance
Translating WordPress is slow and uses much memory because by default WordPress loads all translations upon each request. WPPP improves performance and memory usage by using native gettext or dynamic loading of translations. If an object cache is installed optional caching improves performance even further.
- Use of PHP gettext extension if available.
- Dynamic loading of translation files, only loading and localizing used text.
- Disable Backend localization while maintaining frontend localization (with optional override by user)
- Caching of translations to further improve performance. A persistent object cache has to be installed for this to be effective.
Improve image handling
Create intermediate image sizes on demand not on upload.
- Don't create intermediate images on upload, instead dynamically create intermediate images when accessed.
- Choose to save intermediate image sizes or to recreate them upon each access. Created images can be saved into a folder different from the original images folder.
- Use EXIF thumbnail (if available) as source for thumbnail images. This improves memory and cpu usage as the source for the thumbnail is much smaller.
- Adjust quality settings for intermediate images.
- Regenerate Thumbnails integration: Hook into the thumbnail regeneration process to delete existing intermediate images. Supported plugins: Regenerate Thumbnails, AJAX Thumbnail Rebuild, Simple Image Sizes
Disable WordPress default widgets (BETA)
Really disable WordPress' default widgets. Other plugins which allow you to disable WordPress default widgets only hide them, but the widgets' files will still be loaded. WPPP really removes the widgets: Files of disabled widgets won't get loaded.
CDN support
- Serve (dynamically generated) images through CDN. Applies to all images uploaded via media library both on frontend and backend. No need to save thumbnails locally.
- Fallback to local serving if CDN fails to return a valid response.
- Dynamic image links: Image urls are generated dynamically when displaying post content.
- Supported CDNs: CoralCDN, MaxCDN, Custom
Change or deactivate WordPress features
- Disable header elements, such as generator name, feed links and more
- Change heartbeat settings
- Disable edit lock
- Disable emoji support
- Use persistent database connection
Requires PHP >= 5.3 and WordPress >= 4.7
- Download, install and activate. Usage of MO-Dynamic is enabled by default.
- Gettext support requires PHP Gettext extension and the folder wp-content/wppp/localize must be writeable for php.
- Caching is only effective if a persisten object cache is installed
- Debugging requires Debug Bar to be installed and activated
How do I check if caching works?
Caching only works when using alternative MO implementation. To check if the cache works, activate WPPP debugging (requires Debug Bar) Plugin). This adds the panel WP Performance Pack to the Debug Bar. Textdomains using MO_dynamic implementation show information about translations loaded from cache. If no translations are getting loaded from cache, cache persistence isn't working.
Which persisten object cache plugins are recommended?
Any persisten object cache will do, but it has to be supported in your hosting environment. Check if any caches like APC, XCache, Memcache, etc. are installed on your webserver and select a suitable cache plugin respectively. File based object caches should work always and might improve performance, same goes for data base based caches. Performance gains depend on the available caching method and its configuration.
Does WPPP support multisite?
Localization improvements are supported on multisite installations. When installed network wide only the network admin can see and edit WPPP options.
Image handling improvements are only available if WPPP is network activated -
What's the difference between Dynamic Image Resizer and WPPPs dynamic images?
In previous versions, WPPPs dynamic image resizing feature was based on Dynamic Image Resizer, at first with only some improvements. The first big change was a completely different way to serve the dynamically created images (using rewrite rules instead of the 404 handler), including support for the latest WordPress features. Since WPPP version 1.8 the way how creation of intermediate images at upload works also changed completely. Dynamic Image Resizer did prevent this by using different hooks called at upload. WPPP now overrides the registered image editors (those didn't exist when Dynamic Image Resizer was written) to only create the necessary metadata. This is way more robust and also works when editing images with WordPress.
According to its author, Dynamic Image Resizer is intended only as a proof of concept. You might say, WPPPs dynamic image feature is the working implementation of that proof of concept.
Dynamic links broke my site, how do I restore static links?
Your first try should be the button "Restore static links" in WPPP settigns advanced view. That function will also be executed on deactivation of WPPP.
If any errors occur (please post them in the support forums so I can try to improve the restore function), you can execute the following SQL query manually to restore the static links:UPDATE wp_posts SET post_content = REPLACE ( post_content, '{{wpppdynamic}}', 'http://your.base-url/wp-content/uploads/' )
You have to change the base URL (third parameter of REPLACE) to your uploads URL!
How localization improvements work
WPPP overrides WordPress' default implementation by using the override_load_textdomain hook. The fastest way for translations is using the native gettext implementation. This requires the PHP Gettext extension to be installed on the server. WPPPs Gettext implementation is based on Bernd Holzmuellers Translate_GetText_Native implementation. Gettext support is still a bit tricky and having the gettext extension installed doesn't mean it will work.
As second option WPPP features a complete rewrite of WordPress' MO imlementation: MO_dynamic (the alternative MO reader). The default WordPress implementaion loads the complete mo file right after a call to load_textdomain, whether any transaltions from this textdomain are needed or not. This needs quite some time and even more memory. Mo_dynamic features on demand loading. It doesn't load a mo file until the first translation call to that specific textdomain. And it doesn't load the entire mo file either, only the requested translation. Though the (highly optimized) search for an individual translation is slower, the vastly improved loading time and reduced memory foot print result in an overall performance gain.
Caching can further improve performance. When using MO_dynamic with activated caching, translations get cached using WordPress Object Cache API. Frontend pages usually don't use many translations, so for all Frontend pages one cache is used per textdomain. Backend pages on the other hand use many translations. So Backend pages get each their own individual translation cache with one base cache for each textdomain. This base cache consists of those translations that are used on all Backend pages (i.e. they have been used up to admin_init hook). Later used translations are cached for each page. All this is to reduce cache size, which is very limited on many caching methods like APC. To even further reduce cache size, the transaltions get compressed before being saved to cache.
How dynamic image resizing works
Images don't get resized on upload. Instead intermediate images and respective meta data are created on demand. WPPP extends all registered image editors to prevent creation of intermediate image sizes by overriding the multi_resize function. As the classes get extended dynamically this should work with any image editor implementation. Serving the intermediate sizes is done using rewrite rules. Requests to none existent intermediate images are redirected to a special PHP file which loads only a minimum of necessary WordPress code to improve performance. Redirection is done via htaccess. If the requested file does exists it is served directly.
When a none existend image is requested WPPP checks if the requested image size corresponds to a registered image size (either one of the default sizes "thumbnail", "medium" or "large" or any other sizes registered by themes or plugins). This check also tells WPPP if to crop the image while resizing. Only if this check passes the intermediate image is created. This prevents unwanted creation of thumbnails.
How does WPPPs disable widget feature differ from other plugins
Most other plugins which allow you to disable widgets just unset the respective widgets in WordPress' global widget list. This doesn't prevent the widgets' code to be loaded. WPPP disables default loading of widgets completely and only loads those files required to create the enabled widgets. Available widgets are detected when the modules settings page is displayed by scanning the wp-includes/widgets folder for any classes extending WP_Widget. It only has a small impact on performance and memory usage but many small improvements can become quite big.

Why Waiting Until After the Holidays to Sell Isn't a Smart Decision
Every year at this time, many homeowners decide to wait until after the holidays to put their homes on the market for the first time, while others who already have their homes on the market decide to take them off until after the holidays. Here are six great reasons not to wait:
- Relocation buyers are out there. Companies are not concerned with holiday time and if the buyers have kids, they want them to get into school after the holidays.
- Purchasers that are looking for a home during the holidays are serious buyers and are ready to buy.
- You can restrict the showings on your home to the times you want it shown. You will remain in control.
- Homes show better when decorated for the holidays.
- There is less competition for you as a seller right now. Let's take a look at listing inventory as compared to the same time last year:
- The supply of listings increases substantially after the holidays. Also, in many parts of the country, new construction will continue to surge reaching new heights in 2017, which will lessen the demand for your house.
Bottom Line
Waiting until after the holidays to sell your home probably doesn't make sense.

Kenneth Starr has died. The conservative lawyer was known best as the independent counsel who investigated then-President Bill Clinton. He was 76 years old. According to a statement from his family, he died Tuesday of complications following surgery. NPR's Deepa Shivaram reminds us of Starr's long public career.
DEEPA SHIVARAM, BYLINE: At just 37 years of age, Ken Starr made history as the youngest person to serve on the Washington, D.C., Circuit Court of Appeals. A conservative from San Antonio, Starr was nominated by then-President Ronald Reagan. He went on to serve as solicitor general in the George H.W. Bush administration and argued 25 cases before the Supreme Court. But he's best known for leading an investigation into the real estate dealings of Bill and Hillary Clinton. The investigation would come to be known as Whitewater.
KEN STARR: The investigation continues to be interested in the facts, the truth. We want all the facts. We want all the truth. That is what the investigation is about.
SHIVARAM: His role as independent counsel in the Whitewater investigation led him to look into President Clinton's relationship with White House intern Monica Lewinsky.
UNIDENTIFIED REPORTER: CNN has confirmed that Whitewater counsel Kenneth Starr has been granted permission to expand his investigation. He will be...
SHIVARAM: After five years of investigations, Starr issued a report that in part led to the House of Representatives impeaching President Clinton, though he was later acquitted by the Senate. More recently, Starr was president of Baylor University from 2010 to 2016, but he was forced out as university president after being accused of failing to appropriately investigate sexual assault claims. In 2020, Starr became a member of former President Donald Trump's defense team during his first impeachment trial. Starr claimed that impeachment was being used too often.
STARR: Significantly, in this particular juncture in America's history, the Senate is being called to sit as the high court of impeachment all too frequently. Indeed, we are living in what I think can aptly be described as the age of impeachment.
SHIVARAM: Starr was a frequent commentator on Fox News, where he was a staunch defender of President Trump.
