text: Wisdom of Nutritional Supplements for Watertown Back Pain Relief12/12/2017Wisdom comes from experience. Watertown Wellness Center values the wisdom shared from earlier clinical back pain specialists who decided to write about their experiences in treating back pain. Watertown Wellness Center especially welcomes how they merged nutrition into the back pain relief treatment plan. The education your Watertown chiropractor obtained in chiropractic school indicated just how essential nutrition is to health and particularly the health of the spine. New nutrition papers today about the value of vitamins and minerals in the care of back pain built on the older ones helping today's Watertown back pain patient significantly! NUTRITION'S HISTORICAL INFLUENCE IN BACK PAIN CARE Nutrition as a part of the care of spinal pain conditions is not new. Watertown Wellness Center recognizes that. Watertown Wellness Center follows reports about nutrition in the spine literature. Dr. Cox, developer of Cox Technic flexion distraction, wrote of it back in 1993 (and even earlier). (1) A French researcher told of the benefits of vitamin B back in 1968. (2) Another researcher in 1985 suggested the connection between spinal canal size (as a small canal size does not leave much room for a disc herniation, predisposing a person to higher risk of low back pain) and infant malnutrition. (3) The eminent spine researcher, Alf Nachemson, MD, pointed out that nutrition of the intervertebral disc is enhanced by introducing motion to the spine. (4) Watertown Wellness Center's treatment of the spine includes just that, motion. Cox Technic, the Watertown chiropractic treatment method Watertown Wellness Center uses, brings motion to the spine, segment by segment. Nutrition renders a good difference in a person's health state. Nutrition makes a welcomed difference in the Watertown health of the spine. Nutrition may influence positively the course of Watertown back pain relief and prevention. TODAY: MULTIVITAMINS HELP A newly published medical research report reports on the value of multivitamin nutrition for remedying disc herniation with radiculopathy (aka a pinched nerve of the spine causing extremity pain), a condition Watertown Wellness Center invites into its Watertown chiropractic practice! A randomized trial of a hundred patients who have this condition examined how well treatment alone and how well treatment plus a multivitamin nutrition supplement (with vitamins like B6, B12 and others) influenced their pain, disability and requirement for NSAID drugs. The authors found that supplementing with a multivitamin enriched the treatment outcomes. (5) Adding a nutritional element to the treatment gives the impression of being unassuming, but it does prove to be very effective for Watertown chiropractic patients with back pain, neck pain, and radiculopathy. Watertown Wellness Center develops such a nutritional component to the Watertown chiropractic treatment plan just for you, the Watertown chiropractic patient. CONTACT Watertown Wellness Center TODAY Listen into this PODCAST about sciatic leg pain, radiculopathy, helped with Cox Technic. Schedule a Watertown chiropractic appointment at Watertown Wellness Center for your back pain and related radicular pain and sciatica.

Around the beginning of the 3rd millennium cal bc a cremation cemetery was established at Forteviot, central Scotland. This place went on to become one of the largest monument complexes identified in Mainland Scotland, with the construction of a palisaded enclosure, timber structures, and a series of henge monuments and other enclosures. The cemetery was established between 3080 and 2900 cal bc, probably in the 30th century cal bc, which is contemporary with the cremation cemetery at Stonehenge. Nine discrete deposits of cremated bone, representing the remains of at least 18 people, were identified. In most instances they were placed within cut features and, in one case, a series of cremation deposits was associated with a broken standing stone. This paper includes the first detailed assessment of the cremated remains at Forteviot and the features associated with the cemetery, and explores how the establishment of this cemetery may have been both a catalyst and inspiration for the elaborate monument building and prolonged acts of remembrance that occurred at this location over a period of almost 1000 years. The paper also outlines the parallels for Forteviot across Britain and, for the first time, draws together the dating evidence (including Bayesian modelling) for this major category of evidence for considering the nature of late 4th/early 3rd millennium cal bc society. The results and discussion have wide implications and resonances for contemplating the establishment and evolution of monument complexes in prehistoric Britain and beyond.

He Is Lord Because Of Who He Is Series
Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jun 8, 2003 (message contributor)
Summary: In almost every church, someone eventually says "I am in Charge Here!" So - who is in charge in the church? Is it someone with a position of authority, or is it someone who has has a unique experience from God? Or could it be both?
OPEN: A young sentry was on guard duty for the 1st time, and he had orders not to admit any car unless it had a special identification seal on its bumper. About the middle of the night, an unmarked car approached his guard shack and the sentry stopped it. Inside, was a general and his driver.
When the Sentry advised them that he could not admit any car that didn't have the special seal on it, the General became impatient and somewhat angry. Ignoring the sentry, the officer leaned forward and told his driver: "Don't worry about it, just drive right on through."
When the sentry heard this he looked into the back seat and politely said, "I'm sorry sir, but I'm new at this. Could you please tell me who I should shoot first - you or the driver?"
APPLY: Who should I listen to? Who has the authority to tell me what is right and what is wrong? In the story above, the sentry fully understood his responsibilities, but he was being sorely tested by a man of powerful rank and importance.
As far as the Sentry was concerned, he only had one authority - the authority of the person who gave him his orders. No one else was sufficiently important or powerful enough to override those instructions
I. There are times when people get worried about who is in charge in the Church
In some churches, the people in charge are those with positions of authority
Whether it is the Pope
Or a church hierarchy
Or church councils that have met down thru the ages to determine doctrine
Or Elders
Or Preachers
Or Church Boards
There always seems to be someone who ends up saying "I'm in charge here!"
In other churches, the people with authority are the ones who have had "experiences" that intimate they have a special relationship with God
They'll say things like "God told me to do this or that" (a couple weeks ago I encountered a man who used that very phrase several times throughout his conversation)
Or they'll go beyond what God has said to them… they'll tell you God has given a special message for you to them - "the Spirit gave me this message for you."
Such people can be driven by the desire to have authority or influence in your life.
ILLUS: John Maxwell (a charismatic) tells of the time he encountered this in his church. There was a woman in the congregation who desperately wanted to sing. And she'd come up to him before the worship began and tell him that the Lord had told her she should give a special that morning. Maxwell, being a Charismatic couldn't very well contradict her – and he let her sing.
Maxwell later commented "One thing I'm sure of – God never told that woman to sing – she was awful."
But Sunday after Sunday, she'd approach him before the service and tell him God had told her to sing. And there didn't seem to be a thing he could do about it… she was controlling him by claiming to have an "experience."
Then, one Saturday night, as he was praying about this matter, a thought came to him. The next morning, when she approached him and told him "God has told me to give a special this morning," he smiled back and said, "when God tells me to call you up to sing, you come on up."
He said, "It's the oddest thing… God never told me to have her come up again."
So, there are people who try to exert authority by virtue of their position or their supposed experiences.
In fact, I even knew of one Elder that combined both of these. He believed that since he had the position of being the oldest elder in the church, he had ultimate say in what took place there
AND he had survived a life threatening experience (for which, to be fair, he gave God the glory) and he believed God had saved him so that he could lead in the church and guide its decisions. I loved this man dearly, but his intention to "rule" the church made him very difficult to deal with on occasion.
II. So… who is in charge in the church???
Who has the ultimate authority? – is it someone with authority or experience?
Well,… in case you had any doubts Paul tells the Colossians that...
There's only one individual has the authority
There's only one individual who has "the experience"
There's only one individual who has the credentials required to make the ultimate decisions of what a church should do..and that's Jesus Christ
Look at the text again with me - Colossians 1:15-18
"He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.

Student Ranking
What is the student ranking?
Twice a year, all HSE students have the opportunity to see how they rank among their classmates.
The ranking is a list of students demonstrating achievements in subjects from the curriculum over a certain period.
HSE distinguishes between current and cumulative rankings. We also compile rankings before repeated exams and after repeated exams.
- Current ranking – allows student achievements to be compared over half a year (two study modules or one semester). The current ranking is an interim indicator of a student's achievements and is renewed each time and includes results in subjects from the last half year (there are usually 5-8 results).
- Cumulative ranking – compares students' achievements over the entire period of studies at HSE. Twice a year, new subjects are added to the cumulative ranking, in addition to all subjects taken by the student since the first year of study. Before graduation, a student's cumulative ranking will include results in all elements of the curriculum: subjects, term papers, projects etc. (there are at least 30 results in undergraduate programmes, and at least 12 in Master's programmes).
- Ranking before repeated exams (both current and cumulative) – takes into account students' grades as they were given during the exam period in a given period. For those students who miss the exam or receive unsatisfactory grades, the relevant elements of the curriculum are graded as zero.
- Ranking after repeated exams – takes into account the grades received on repeated exams.
Why is the ranking assigned?
The ranking system improves students' motivation to engage in active and balanced learning.
The ranking provides differentiated and diversified information on educational quality and efficiency, as well as on personal achievements of students. This information can be used for administrative solutions.
How is the ranking calculated?
The ranking is assigned as follows:
1. Each faculty makes a decision on which students will compete with one another. It's possible to compare students studying in one year of one programme, or several programmes.
2. For each student, grades for each element of the curriculum are multiplied by its credit weight, and their sum is calculated. For example, during a half year, a student was studying English (4 credits), mathematical analysis (5 credits), and history (3 credits). That student received the following grades for them: 8, 7, and 10. For this student, the ranking will be calculated as follows: 4*8+5*7+3*10 = 97.
3. Since each HSE student has an individual curriculum, the older the year, the more varied the curricula are for each student. And the sum of credits earned by students can differ, which is why, for a more precise comparison, the ranking sums are normalized by a maximum sum of credits among all the compared students. To view the exact formula, see the 'Regulations on the ranking system of complex evaluation of student knowledge', points 3.1.5 – 3.1.6.
4. The list of normalized rankings is sorted in descending order. The larger sum a student has, the smaller his or her number is in the list, and the better his or her personal ranking is.
If, during the half year, a student chooses more subjects than are required by the programme curriculum (for example, has taken not three, as offered, but four or five electives), the current ranking will not include all the elements of the curriculum. Students can oversee the inclusion of extra elements from the variable part of the curriculum. Students should inform their programme's study office on what elements should be taken into account in the current ranking (in writing or via email). The results on term papers, obligatory subjects, and a recommended number of optional courses are included in the current ranking.
The cumulative ranking stores all the achievements, both in the variable part and in the additional courses, regardless of the student's wishes. Since the cumulative ranking reflects all learning activities, some students can find themselves ahead of their classmates who are leading the current ranking.
The ranking table is formed using data on student grades in the HSE information system. These data are added manually by the study offices' staff using records signed by lecturers who conduct examinations. The table is calculated automatically based on the principles common to all HSE faculties and campuses.
Since the process includes a 'manual' part, some technical errors are possible, which is why the ranking tables are given to students within certain terms, and, if a student finds errors (incorrect grades or subjects), they have an opportunity to inform the study office of the error within two working days.
When are the rankings prepared?
The ranking tables are prepared after the summer and winter examination periods, as well as after the repeated exam periods.
Students are informed of different types of rankings during the academic year within the following timeframes:
Current ranking before repeated exams for the first half year – January 20;
Current ranking after repeated exams for the first half year – March 10;
Current ranking before repeated exams for the second half year – July 20;
Current ranking after repeated exams for the second half year – October 25;
Cumulative ranking – March 10 and October 25.

Open Letter of Thanks to the folks who created "An Evening Without Tom Lips"
Sunday, February 8th, 2009
Dear Friends and Creators of "An Evening Without Tom Lips"
(Alex Vlamis, Anne Hurley, Chris MacLean, Danny Artuso,
David Keeble, Eleanor Crowder, Gail Anglin, James Stephens,
Jane Keeler, Joel Leblanc, Karen Lahaise,
Linnea Rowlatt, Neville Miller, and Shelley Posen.)
What a difference a week can make! Last Sunday I was
discouraged, depressed, deeply disappointed, and anxious
about the financial and artistic impacts of abandoning my
long-planned concert at the NAC 4th Stage. Today, thanks
to all of you, I feel not just relieved, but delighted, satisfied,
and proud to have been associated with you in this endeavour.
I can honestly say that the sadness I felt at the prospect of
not performing as planned has completely evaporated.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I had a wonderful evening; Achillea Endeavours was rescued
from a big invoice and raised some funds for Riverglen Farm;
the audience was thoroughly entertained; and my clear
impression is that, despite all the challenges that you had to
overcome in a very short space of time, you all enjoyed yourselves
and each other. Kudos to you!
As Shelley joked, it was (in a nice way) a bit like attending
my own funeral – in the sense that, ghostlike, I could watch
and listen but could not speak. Meanwhile people were saying
all kinds of nice things about me, there was music and
conversation, and things were getting done very well without
me calling the shots. What resulted was a very salubrious blend
of feeling appreciated and realizing that it was all right for me
to let go for a while. It was what I needed just then.
I enjoyed every song, and I really value the distinctive life and
energy that new performers brought to each. It is gratifying
to know that these songs can have a life of their own, and are
not irrevocably chained to my own (currently dysfunctional)
vocal cords. You made the songs new for me; I heard them afresh.
What can I say about the band? I always knew that James
and Danny and Alex were fantastic musicians and wonderful
people to work with; but this time they really proved their
mettle, adjusting gracefully to key changes, new arrangements,
and the various curve balls that a multi-performer gig organized
in a very short period of time will inevitably throw. Thanks, guys.
You are the best.
Finally, thanks to David Keeble and to my dear wife
Linnéa Rowlatt, who on top of learning and performing several
songs, bore the brunt of organizing the rehearsal and the sound
check, recreating the set list and most everything else that
needed doing. Many, many thanks for the energy, thought and
heart you put into this event.
If I had to lose my voice to better appreciate what sheer
generosity and creativity there is in all of you, it was worth it.
(Of course, now that I appreciate it, I'm ready to have my
voice back any time... Are you listening, God?)
Sending you silent thanks and all good wishes,
P.S. Have a look at these great photos of the evening,
taken by Jake Morrison:

4 Lessons Learned: Hormones
Important Facts about Weight Loss When the time for losing weight happens, you are supposed to do it in many healthier ways. Commitment will be your driving force towards the achievement of the goals that you have set. However, losing weight is a daunting process that will need you to overcome the sense of intimidation as you go through the procedures. This article covers some of the expectations and expert advice on what you can expect when your body is undergoing changes during the weight losing process. The first thing that you should do is you pay enough attention to the hormone levels. Weight loss is a complex process that involves numerous factors before it can become successful. The ability to balance the hormones in your body is a major factor. Hormones are chemicals which are mandated with sending different signals to the body giving commands on how it should respond. The role that is played by hormones during the weight losing or gaining process is more significant than what the diet management can do. Before you start the weight loss program, it is advisable you seek the help of a doctor. This is important because they will help you in developing programs that can balance the essential hormones to help you lose the weight naturally. They can prepare a nutritional and exercise plan for you to undertake as you steadily lose your weight while maintaining balanced hormones
Study: My Understanding of Hormones
Before you take any of the supplements meant for weight loss, ensure you understand the details and instructions written on the packaging label. Foods and packed supplements are numerous in markets, and people are promoting them as the best for losing weight.Some of the products can be misleading if they are not properly understood. For example, over the counters, some supplements are laxative contributing to better digestion hence they do not have a long term effect on weight loss.
A Quick Rundown of Health
Taking in whole foods is one of the measures for losing weight. Doctors are important in finding out what kind of foods will not affect your weight. If finding a physician is hard for you, you will have to consume foods that have low levels of sugar and grains when you begin the weight losing project. High levels of sugars and grain contribute to hormonal imbalances, but they can be worked on through a change in diet to improve their balance. Increase your intake of healthy fats, whole fruits, and vegetables to enable you to restore the necessary balance allowing long term and natural occurrence of weight loss. Seeking advice from a professional on what is right to eat will go a long way to helping you lose unnecessary weight quickly.

Why You Will Get Cut Defending Against a Knife • Martial Arts Journey
Reality of Knife Defense There is no shortage of alleged knife defense
techniques both online and in various training places. Having personally been introduced to Aikido's
knife defense techniques and only later learning how far it is from the actual reality of knife
defense, I personally know very well how many of presented knife defense techniques suffer
from the same lack of realism. Unfortunately as the common practitioner does
not know what to look for in understanding whether the presented knife defense technique
is realistic or not, many are taught something what would never work in a real situation
and thus face a life threatening danger, if they will ever face a real knife defense situation
while having false knowledge about how it really works. For this reason I've interview Bruno Orozco,
a self defense expert who has not been satisfied with just nice looking knife defense techniques
and really looked into how knife defense actually works. Hi, my name is Rokas, and in this Martial
Arts Journey video we will look at the Reality of Knife Defense. When talking about knife defense, first of
all, it is important to establish that the best knife defense is to run away. As Bruno Orozco says: "The knife is a very
simple and complex weapon at the same time. Simple, because anyone can grab a knife and
hurt you, and complex because a knife doesn't have patterns. It's too fast and too chaotic. It's a weapon that's practically impossible
to stop, if someone with a true focus to kill is holding it. It's impossible to come out unharmed in
a knife attack.". To elaborate on Bruno's thought – it is
only a myth that it's possible to rely on a single or few techniques to defend yourself
against a real knife attack. A knife is such a difficult weapon to defend
against, that if you ever come across such a situation, and you have a chance to run,
there should be no consideration in trusting your presumed superior knife defense techniques,
trying to disarm the attacker, just because of your confidence in what you learned. No unnecessary risk should be taken in such
a situation, and if you can run away, you should run away. Effective knife defense question though becomes
important, if you are in a situation where there is no option to run away, such as when
protecting a loved one, or having no escape route. This is where according to Bruno Orozco, we
need to understand how knife and weapon attacks work. Bruno points out that there are three categories
in weapons and knife defense: "First is the part of a threat, when you are shown a
weapon and are threatened, but they don't touch you with the weapon, they just show
it. A mugging is when you are touched by a weapon,
but you are not attacked by it. And finally we have the attack, when you are
physically attacked by the weapon.". To elaborate once more on what Bruno said,
it's important to understand that if you are presented with a weapon, that is not yet
an actual attack and there is still space for either a pre-emptive attack, negotiation,
or simply giving your valuables to the mugger, if that guarantees safety. A much more difficult situation is if the
person with the knife is actually attacking. Here, Bruno continues: "In that case, the
best thing to do is to establish distance. We must not go to deliberately try to stop
or try to hold a knife. Because this is impossible if the knife is
in motion. The knife has a sort of come and go, bouncing
back and forth, really fast motion. So the only thing we can do, if we can not
establish distance is to reduce the damage, that the knife will inflict upon us. Only reduce and not eliminate, because it's
impossible to come out unharmed from a real knife attack.". I personally found this point brought up by
Bruno Orozco fascinating. All the knife defense techniques that I was
introduced to prior to this interview, were showing clean techniques, against a single
thrust, were as a performer of the technique I would get out unharmed during my training. Only later I realized that having this expectation
of performing a clean, single technique, can prove to be fatal, since as soon as this clean
technique would not work in reality once, the brain could easily freeze in presumed
failure and would be unable to effectively defend further. Expecting from the very beginning that the
knife will most likely inflict damage, may very well give the required mental fortitude
to continue on defending, even if the technique is not landing clean and damage is done. As Bruno says, the real question is not on
how to avoid damage all together, but how to reduce it: "To reduce the damage we have
to know the techniques where we don't allow the knife to harm us or cut us in vital areas
of our body, because if we end up unconscious cause of lack of blood, we will not be able
to defend ourselves.". As later Bruno points out these vital areas
can be described as horizontal lines. As you move down from the top of the head,
the vital lines and non-vital lines switch in between. While the forehead is not a vital line, it
is important to know that if it is cut, a curtain of blood will spill into our eyes
making it unable for us to see, leading to deadly results. If the line across our eyes is cut, we may
lose our sight all-together due to direct eye damage. The next line across the level of the mouth
and chin is not as vital, yet the following line of the neck is. As we move further down, our chest is protected
by chest muscles and rib cage, making it almost as a natural armor and thus: non-vital, yet
the next level down is vital again, as it includes our liver and pancreas and little
protection. Even lower we have our intestines, where if
someone stabs, it's less serious, yet if someone slashes with enough power, the intestines
will pop out and to quote Bruno: "You will be too preoccupied to pick them up and not
defending yourself". To move our attention to the arms, Bruno explains
that the interior part of them have veins, while the external part doesn't. Thus if a person ends up defending against
a knife with his external parts of the arms, it will cause less serious damage. Meanwhile, if an artery or a vein is reached
in the internal side of the arms, it's less than a minute until a person will pass out. While there will be a chance to continue to
fight during that time, one will slowly start to feel ill, and eventually end up unconscious. In the end Bruno explains that in a knife
attack we have to protect the mentioned vital areas and be willing to sacrifice the non-vital
ones, while remembering that there are actually no clean techniques against a knife. While considering that running away is not
an option in some cases and knowing the difference between vital and non vital areas, the last
question that remains, is how to actually train for a real knife attack and how to really
defend from it. When asked, Bruno answers that when you focus
on reducing damage, the next step is to counter attack: "The best counter attack technique
is a combination of striking and grappling. Grappling not as if you take the opponent
to the floor, but grappling as a movement of leverage – as in wrist locks and fingerlocks.". Here Bruno points out that here Aikido knife
defense techniques can come in useful, as they include wrist locks and fingerlocks against
a knife attacker, yet he also stresses that it's not just the techniques themselves
which matter, but also the training method: "[These techniques work], if they are adapted
to the reality of the knife. And the only way to do this is to do sparring
with a training knife. Because if you don't know how someone is
actually going to attack you, in a training session and under pressure, then you will
never know what combination of striking and locks to apply.". As we've came to the end of the discussion
about the knife, Bruno wanted to point out one more last thing by saying: "Most knife
attacks are ambushes. So the victim does not see the knife until
he or she feels it in the body. Unless it's a case of a threat though a
distance, were you can use that distance to be able to run away, but if the agresor is
closing the distance and you can not run away, then you have to fight for your life – understanding
that you will be hurt, but with appropriate techniques you can come out alive. And that' the reality of the knife.". As you see from this talk, the reality of
knife defense is far from how most self defense systems introduce it: clean, specific technique
where the defender comes out unharmed. If we want to raise our chances of surviving
a real knife attack, we have to be willing to face the reality of it by being ready for
it both physically, while doing proper, pressure and intensity training, and also mentally,
considering all possible options in order to raise our chances of coming out alive. As in most real answers, there is no easy
quick solution for this life threatening scenario, and we must face the reality of it in our
training, rather than have our fantasy shattered in a life or death scenario if such a time
comes. If you liked the video, make sure to share
it with your friends and martial arts community. Also, check Bruno Orozco's YouTube channel

A first-of-its-kind review and meta-analysis of specialized literature suggests that mind-body therapies, such as meditation and cognitive behavioral therapy, can help ease physical pain and prevent the development of opioid use disorder.
"Practitioners should consider presenting MBTs (Mind Body Therapies) as nonpharmacologic adjuncts to opioid analgesic therapy. [...] Behavioral healthcare professionals working alongside physicians could feasibly integrate MBTs into standard medical practice through coordinated care management."
Frequent users of cannabis may have 'disabling' withdrawal symptoms, researchers warn.
This condition is included in the latest edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), which was published in 2013.
According to the DSM-5, a formerly frequent user of the drug has cannabis withdrawal syndrome when they experience at least three of the following symptoms within a week from cessation:
Withdrawal linked with psychiatric disorders
The researchers started from interviews with 36,309 participants who registered for the 2012–2013 National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions-III, a national survey that takes into consideration clinically diagnosed cannabis withdrawal syndrome.
For the study analysis, the investigators used data collected from 1,527 participants who identified as frequent cannabis users. This means that they used cannabis at least three times per week for 12 months before they took part in the interview.
These aims and outcomes are well intended, and they have been beneficial in some contexts, but the narrow focus of the disease model on the neurobiologic substrates of addiction has diverted attention (and research funding) from other models.10 Alternatives to the brain disease model often highlight the social and environmental factors that contribute to addiction, as well as the learning processes that translate these factors into negative outcomes.11-15 For example, it has been shown repeatedly that adverse experiences in childhood and adolescence increase the probability of later addiction.13,14 Also, exposure to physical, economic, or psychological trauma greatly increases susceptibility to addiction.14-17 Learning models propose that addiction, though obviously disadvantageous, is a natural, context-sensitive response to challenging environmental contingencies, not a disease.
Drug addicts should have microchips implanted into their brains to help them beat addiction, say senior scientists -

'Les Misérables' is a 2012 British musical film, adapted from the musical of the same name by Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schönberg, which in turn was based on Victor Hugo's French novel, 'Les Misérables'.
What does cinema mean to you? Would you watch a musical (mind you there are no dialogues, just songs), which is 2 hours 37 minutes long, purely because you love films? Do you believe that cinema has the ability to make you a better person? Do you believe that films change lives, or to put it a bit more mildly, your day? 'Les Misérables' does that. This grand, elaborate lyrical presentation strikes a chord, and how!
Circa 1815, convict Jean Valjean (Hugh Jackman) is released on parole by prison guard Javert (Russell Crowe), after serving a nineteen-year sentence. However, Jean escapes the parole and lives a comfortable life elsewhere, using a different name. Nine years later, he is caught by Javert. This time, he escapes yet again, albeit along with a factory worker Fantine's (Anne Hathaway) daughter, Cosette (Amanda Seyfried).
The plot spans 17 years and is set against a backdrop of political turmoil, which in the film culminates in the June Rebellion of France.
Claude-Michel Schönberg's soundtrack, comprising 30-odd songs, is 'enchanting'. Be it the introductory hard-hitting number 'Look Down' (Chain Gang, Javert and Valjean) or the ethereal rendition of 'I Dreamed a Dream' (Fantine), the magical 'A Heart Full of Love' (Marius, Cosette and Éponine) or the heart-numbing 'Javert's Suicide' (Javert), all the songs in the film are beyond brilliant.
Even better than the music and lyrics are the performers; in Hugh Jackman, Anne Hathaway, Russell Crowe, Amanda Seyfried and Eddie Redmayne, the line-up is magnificent. Special mention for the hilarious track, featuring Sacha Baron Cohen and Helena Bonham Carter, who infuse this melancholic film with lighter moments. Watch out for this electric (and eccentric) duo in the film. Another noteworthy performance was by the gorgeous Samantha Barks, who plays Éponine. Her rendition of the tragic 'On My Own' is certain to make you watery-eyed. The music is just one of the terrific aspects of 'Les Misérables'.
What about the visuals? The magnificent sets, the beautiful camerawork (stupendous cinematography by Danny Cohen) and the spellbinding costumes take you to that country, to that era! The aerial shots are one of the best that you will ever witness on the big screen. Who needs gimmicks like 3D, 48 fps, when you can produce such marvellous visuals, without much ado? The music of the film may be transcendental, but the visuals are not much far-behind on the mystical front!
The film has been divided into four segments. One includes Javert's own story, second is about Fantine's tragic circumstances, third deals with the conniving innkeeper couple, Thénardier and Madame Thénardier (Sacha Baron Cohen and Helena Bonham Carter steal the show, quite literally!) and the fourth is the love-triangle between Marius, Cosette and Éponine. Towards, the end, the segments take place in the backdrop of the French Rebellion. So, after all the romance and the tragedy, the latter half of the film manages to encapsulate patriotic fervour as well! The cast/performers of the film have done a brilliant job of singing and emoting at the same time. Moreover, all the songs have been performed live on-set, so you may as well lavish more praise on their efforts.
Tom Hooper, who already has an Academy award for Best Direction ('The King's Speech'), has come up with another Oscar-worthy effort!
Actually, won't matter even if he doesn't take the trophies back home! This film is an achievement in itself.
Tom Cruise had said this at an award function once, something on the lines of 'what is cinema? That little bit of magic!' 'Les Misérables' is that, and more.

Baker McKenzie acted as lead transaction counsel to Gebr. Knauf KG, a major German building materials company, in connection with its $7 billion acquisition of Chicago-based USG Corporation (NYSE:USG). The combined company will have global manufacturing and sales operations for gypsum wall board, ceiling products, and fiberglass insulation with approximately 36,000 employees around the world. Berkshire Hathaway Inc., USG's largest shareholder (owning approximately 31% of the company's shares), has agreed to support the transaction.
The USG board's initial rejection of Knauf's private acquisition proposals led to a successful public proxy contest in connection with USG's May 2018 annual shareholder meeting, at which the holders of a large majority of USG's shares, including Berkshire Hathaway, voted against the election of the company's director nominees. The defeat of USG's director nominees served as a shareholder referendum on Knauf's acquisition proposal, eventually leading the parties to conclude a negotiated transaction announced on June 11, 2018.
The Baker McKenzie team advising Knauf was led by Chicago corporate partner Craig Roeder and included corporate attorneys Thomas Hughes, Robert Dolehide, Sarah Roughead, Jimmie Covington, Sara Ahmed, Lewis Sutton and David Holland; tax attorneys Thomas May and Tatyana Johnson; labor, employment, and benefits attorneys Maura Ann McBreen, Ryan Vann and Lauren Schuster; finance attorneys Oliver Socher and Kathrin Marchant, Garry Jaunal, John Lawlor, and Michael Reed; antitrust attorneys Gavin Bushell and Sophia Real, Raymundo Enriquez, Brian Burke, and Mark Hamer; regulatory attorney Rod Hunter; environmental attorneys John Watson and Jessica Wicha; bankruptcy attorneys Debra Dandeneau and Matthew Andonian; intellectual property attorney Heiko Burow; and litigation attorney Jon Ebner.

Development and movement
The simple task of writing this text forces me to review, each year, a little of BrLab's trajectory. When we started to build this platform in 2011, it would have been impossible to size the amount of challenges that we would have to face in order to continuously perform and finance the activities that make up the BrLab. Words fail me to explain the vast number of ups and downs and battles fought to ensure BrLab's uninterrupted financing, amidst not only the country's storms, but also the capabilities and possibilities of our partners and sponsors, changing every year. Throughout this trajectory, despite the efforts needed to carry out the project's activities, we were able to establish an efficient space for cooperation, testing experiences and investing enough work and thinking to find a format that would also meet the expectations of different partners and the interests of a public that went beyond the laboratory's core activities. Throughout the eight editions, we were able to promote several meetings, learning and teaching experiences that contributed not only to the 92 projects that have already participated in BrLab and the related professionals, but also to the laboratory itself, which has also improved as a training space that effectively qualifies the professionals, contemplating the fundamental yearnings of filmmakers and producers while promoting activities and market meetings. It also took a few years for us to learn how to connect with a broader audience without distancing ourselves from our vocation, and today we are able to celebrate the continued success of BrPlot, an open program composed of a series of tables and debates open to the public in general, and with the participation of renowned writers and authors from Brazil and the world. This activity is carried out through a very valuable partnership with Thiago Dottori, who signs the program, and also with ABRA, which since last year has been an institutional supporter of BrLab in an increasingly fruitful collaboration. For the first time, we will have a Rough Cut Lab, in partnership with the international platform 3 Puertos Cine, and will offer four films that have participated in previous editions of BrLab or 3 Puertos Cine the chance to work with important Latin American filmmakers and worldwide. This activity represents an opportunity for project development spaces such as ours to follow certain projects more closely, in an environment of trust and training, also leading us to think about and understand our own reach. This year, we finally had the opportunity to launch an editorial label, thanks to the sponsorship of BRDE, Ancine and the Audiovisual Sector Fund, through a partnership with the Audiovisual Secretariat of the Ministry of Culture, which brings a series of interviews with one of the main scriptwriting consultants of Latin American cinema. "Eliseo em 100 perguntas" is our first publication, a meeting of Julio Rojas with Eliseo Altunaga, who since 2012 has been collaborating and advising projects under development, in addition to being a frequent guest of BrLab and one of the most generous professionals with whom we have had the privilege of working with. In the midst of financial inconstancy and institutional weaknesses, one aspect that has always been solid, and is increasingly getting stronger, is the affective network of cooperation between renowned professionals in the international market and Brazilian and foreign institutions. Year after year, they meet at BrLab to celebrate cinema and share knowledge in creative ways, focusing on the production of new films and training of professionals for an increasingly fundamental sector for a country's culture and economy. This network, which is certainly BrLab's largest asset, also contributes to the integration of the Brazilian audiovisual industry with the cinematography and markets of our geographical environment, encompassing Latin American countries, Europe and the whole world, further strengthening the BrLab initiative as an international market event that has already become traditional in a metropolis as cosmopolitan as São Paulo. Within this network, we highlight in 2018 the new partnership with RT Features, fundamental in this especially difficult year for the full implementation of our program's activities. It is one of the few companies that are sensitive and attentive to the importance of the continuous existence of this space as an event of international relevance, which turns it into a structuring part of this network, formed this year mainly by the team of tutors, professionals from Brazil and abroad, supporting institutions and companies, as well as our entire production team and Klaxon Cultura Audiovisual. We hope that the future will enable us to continue to finance and promote the BrLab, and thus allow us to continue to learn and share our knowledge, serving as a platform for the promotion of projects and professionals in the region, and resulting in the establishment of international professional cooperation networks that extrapolate our own initiative.
