From the Editor
The publications of the Hong Kong Film Archive's first two volumes of the Hong Kong Filmography garnered much praise and words of encouragement from our overseas supporters and industry insiders in Hong Kong. Following a review, we wasted no time to devote ourselves to putting out the third volume of the Filmography. I regard it as an honour to be able to continue the editorial work on this volume. Because of the greater number of films to be included, the volume is more substantial and the challenges are thus greater when compared with the last volume. Primary source materials and video resources are much more available than for the 40s covered by the last volume. Hence, the number of words and stills has also increased, constituting harder editing and translation work.
The number of films produced in the 50s was five times more than that of the 40s. In total, over 2,500 films were produced, and we decided to cover this period in three volumes. The current Volume III covers the period 1950-52, including a total of some 580 films. Apart from the Cantonese and Mandarin productions, we have also included the Amoy-dialect films that were produced to cater to Amoy-speaking community in Southeast Asia. Of the nearly 600 films covered, only one-fifth of the titles are available on viewing tapes. For the rest, we had to rely on old newspapers, magazines, handbills, etc, to cull the details and synopses.
The 50s was a period of burgeoning prosperity for Hong Kong. The film industry was flourishing and cinema was the people's main source of entertainment. The Korean War, which broke out at the end of 1950, resulted in the UN embargo that cut off the supply of raw film stock to the film industry. Hard times descended and a number of production companies had to shut down. In 1952, the situation began to turn around as the film industry began to be supplied with film stock imported from the UK, Belgium, and Japan. In China itself, the pre-war film industry based in Shanghai was virtually relocated to Hong Kong. Talents such as Zhang Shankun, Fei Mu, Richard Poh and others began to produce pictures in Hong Kong. A market was cultivated in Southeast Asia. All these factors led to the recovery of the film industry in 1952 and its gradual prosperity throughout the decade.
As a legatee of the traditions of the 40s, Hong Kong cinema continued to produce fantasy martial arts pictures, melodramas and comedies. These genres remained the backbone of the industry. Not a few were adapted from so-called 'airwave novels.' Among the most distinguished productions of the period were Dawn Must Come (aka Tears of the Pearl River), produced by the Shanghai expatriate Cai Chusheng; Kaleidoscope, produced by the South China Motion Picture Workers Union to raise funds for the building of a permanent office; The Dividing Wall (aka The Happiness of Living Together, First Episode), a social-realist comedy produced by the Dragon-Horse (Loon-Ma) Films; and Modern Red Chamber Dream, a Great Wall production and the box-office champion of 1952.
To summarise, the Hong Kong cinema produced quite a number of classics in the brief span of time between 1950-52. The pictures dealt more with realist subjects and society, and the level of film technique was immensely improved. Cinematographer Ho Look-ying, for example, had assiduously applied himself to the skills of lap dissolves and superimpositions; Kwong Tzan, boss of a production studio, had founded his own patent for a sound recording machine; the Wan Brothers had successfully exploited matte shots to create new set designs.
The Hong Kong Filmography, Volume III, adopting a completely new design and layout, has incorporated more notes with information on historical and production backgrounds, and has included more quality stills in enlarged formats. The design adopts a more flexible approach and in order to enhance the reader's interest, the sources of synopses and notes are included for the reference of researchers.
We have relied on our Research Officer, Mr Yu Mo-wan, to correct mistakes and discrepancies of information arising from the sources, such as the writings of names, release dates, etc. I thank him for his advice and opinions. I also owe a lot to Mr Law Kar, Programmer of the Hong Kong International Film Festival, for his unreserved advice and assistance. The software for Volume III's index and chronology design was supplied by the Keyoung Information Ltd, who also provided computer-input services. The cover and layout was designed by Maxi Communications Ltd. I thank the staff of these two companies for their high efficiency and dedicated services.
Above all, I must thank my colleagues in the Film Archive for their cooperation and coordination. In particular, I must thank Mr Stephen Teo, the English translator, and my assistants, Ms Agnes Lam, Ms May Ng, and Ms Kwok Ching-ling, for their tireless work. In addition, I had a corps of colleagues that helped in writing, proofreading, crosschecking data, preparing captions, and selecting stills, etc. They include Ms Janice Chow, Ms Monique Shiu, Mr Chris Tsang, Mr Isaac Leung, Ms June Tse, Ms Angela Tong, Ms Priscilla Chan, Ms Zoe Tang, Mr Tsang Hin-koon, Mr Wallace Kwong, Ms Yuen Tsz-ying, Ms Teri Chan, Ms Janet Young, Ms Kimmy So, Ms Edith Lee, Ms To Siu-tip, Mr Victor Ha, Ms Karen So, Mr Leung Man, Mr Abdool Ramjahn, Ms Angel Shing, Ms Irene Leung, Mr Elvis Leung, Ms Winnie Sum, Ms Lee Chun-wai, Ms Tong Ka-wai and Ms Siu Man-wai. To all of them, a very sincere 'Thank You.'

This year, our club's Tech class has a bevy of Boy Scouts–13 to be precise. That being the case, Roger W8ZRF thought it would be a good idea for us to participate in the Jamboree on the Air (JOTA). According to the website,
JOTA is an annual event in which about 500,000 Scouts and Guides all over the world make contact with each other by means of amateur radio. It is a real Jamboree during which Scouting experiences are exchanged and ideas are shared, thus contributing to the world brotherhood of Scouting The JOTA is a world-wide event. Units may operate for 48 hours or any part thereof, from Saturday 00.00 h until Sunday 24.00 h local time. It is for members of the World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM), and also for members of the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS).
We scrambled a bit to arrange a time and place, but in the end, it was decided to meet at 2pm at the University of Michigan's club shack.
Being so hastily arranged, only two scouts showed up at 2 pm–Ray and Max of Troop 8 here in Ann Arbor. We were joined by ARROW member Jeff W8SGZ and U-M club member Jon KG6URI. I was a bit disappointed that more didn't turn out, but it probably was for the best. Any more and each would have gotten little actual mike time. We made four contacts overall, with stations in Ohio, MI, NJ, and IN. Unfortunately, W8UM is not able to operate 20m, and 15m wasn't open, so we weren't able to work any DX. Jon did fire up his laptop, though, and made contact with an LZ station via EchoLink.
This was a lot of fun. The kids were very enthusiastic, and I hope they persevere and get their licenses.

The Transcendent Drupal Communityby Levi Asher on Wednesday, June 4, 2014 10:59 pm
I used to go to BookExpo in New York City every Spring. It was a grand event, a joyous social swirl of writers and publishers and editors and bloggers and critics. But, regretfully, I stopped going to BookExpo a couple of years ago. Some friends tell me the event has shrunk and that I'm not missing much. But I know I'm missing a lot whenever I get a chance to hang out with book people.
This year, I strangely found myself for the first time at DrupalCon, an amazing gathering of web development technology gurus, experts and dabblers who use the very powerful Drupal open source platform to build websites. I've been a Drupal developer since 2009, and I ported this blog from WordPress to Drupal in 2010. Drupal has been both my day job (currently, an exciting new federal government health information and community website launching in October) and my personal obsession. This is my first DrupalCon, my first chance to hang around with thousands of other developers who are as obsessed as I am.
The Great Lost Rock Memoir: Inside Out by Nick Masonby Levi Asher on Tuesday, March 11, 2014 04:17 pm
It's because I respect musicians who bravely venture into the dark literary territory of autobiography that I am so fascinated by musical memoirs. It's also why I'm sometimes critical of them. I have high standards regarding what a good memoir should be.
My standards are high but simple. An autobiography of a musician or any other artist must be written in a voice that feels distinct and artistic. It must tell a coherent story in chronological form. Most importantly, a good memoir must tell the truth.
On these terms, I criticized Neil Young's Waging Heavy Peace for lacking story coherence, and for substituting undercooked present-tense for thoughtful past-tense. I knocked Steve Tyler's Does The Noise In My Head Bother You? for an inconsistent voice: the first few chapters about Steve's childhood and teenage years were very well written, but once Steve grew up and got famous the book shifted in tone to something like a People magazine interview about his rock star lifestyle. That ain't memoir.
Today I'm going to tell you about a memoir that I bet you never heard of, even though there's a good chance you dearly love the legendary rock band the author of this autobiography played drums for.
Eli Stein's Cartoon Caption Contestby Levi Asher on Wednesday, January 22, 2014 09:57 am
Some of you have met Eli Stein before; he's written Litkicks articles about P. G. Wodehouse and Al Jaffee, and he's my father. He's also a cartoonist with a body of published work dating back to the 1950s. If you've read a lot of the Wall Street Journal or Chronicle of Higher Education or Good Housekeeping or National Enquirer, you've probably seen his work, and might recognize his clean, round graphic style, which to my admiring filial eye always resembled the classic drawing style of Syd Hoff or Charles Schulz.

Katharine Graham, the Heroine of the Washington Postby Levi Asher on Monday, August 5, 2013 09:30 pm
A surprise announcement that Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is buying the Washington Post has signaled the end of a distinctive era in family publishing. The Washington Post has been owned by three generations of a single family since Eugene Meyer bought it in 1933. The Post was then only one of several scrappy newspapers in the District of Columbia, and it wasn't until Eugene's daughter Katharine married a very smart young journalist and entrepreneur named Philip Graham that the Washington Post began to rise above the Capitol City sludge to become a world-class newspaper. Eugene Meyer entrusted his new son-in-law to run the entire Washington Post organization. Philip Graham became a sensationally successful newspaper publisher, also establishing himself as an early multimedia visionary when he bought Newsweek magazine and a radio station.
Philip and Katharine Graham married for love -- they were part of a fashionable young set in Georgetown, and had a strong relationship at first. But Philip Graham was a complicated man, prone to terrible episodes of weird manic-depressive extremes, and he seemed to resent the fact that he had only become publisher of the Post by marrying into the family. The young businessman pushed himself hard and pursued risks, alternately stumbling and flying. He became a close friend and supporter of Lyndon Baines Johnson, which gave him a distinctive position both as a newsman and as a Georgetown socialite when LBJ was elected Vice President in 1960. He fell in love with another woman, which put him in an impossible position because his marriage to Katharine Graham was his connection to his business, his life: the Washington Post/Newsweek company.
The Crisis of Book Cover Designby Toro on Wednesday, May 29, 2013 08:44 pm
(Here's Toro!, who runs a book cover design website and has designed posters for FOX and HBO and covers for J C Sum and John Kemmerly, and shares here some of the lesser-known challenges and tribulations of his career. -- Levi)
The cover: a one-page ad forever bound to its product, the most ubiquitous piece of marketing a book will ever have. The cover, a glossy cherry on top of a cake of words, chapters and (maybe) a story. The cover, an aide, a friend, a guiding beacon in that mind-boggling, panic-inducing, head-scratching state we often enter when inside a bookstore. Yes, it can be daunting to be surrounded by hundreds of books, all begging for our attention, all silently wishing to spend the next few days, weeks or months with us. (Very persistent books have been known to hold on to their victims for centuries).
April 1993: CERN Opens the Webby Levi Asher on Thursday, May 2, 2013 07:21 am
All this spring and summer, we'll be hovering over the 20th anniversary of the World Wide Web's breakthrough into mass popularity. This week presents another possible "birthday" date for the WWW craze: it was on April 30, 1993 that CERN announced its intention to fully share its homegrown HTML and HTTP standards and supporting software with the world as free open source. It seems likely that the exploding popularity of the Mosaic browser (which we discussed last month) helped push CERN to take this step. In fact, Unix developers already assumed that WWW software was free and open by this date anyway, so CERN's announcement wasn't really a revolutionary step, though it is a notable moment.
Dusklands: Coetzee's Essential Debut Novelby Levi Asher on Tuesday, April 16, 2013 09:48 pm
Because the enigmatic South African novelist J. M. Coetzee's first novel Dusklands is out of print, I always figured the book must have been a weak start to a great career.
Dusklands was published in 1974, years before Coetzee started hitting his powerful stride with The Life and Times of Michael K. and Waiting for the Barbarians and Disgrace and Elizabeth Costello. Since I couldn't buy the book in bookstores or order a new copy online, I satisfied myself at first by reading summaries of what Dusklands appeared to be: a divided narrative constructed of two invented "found manuscripts", the first an American military psychologist's report of propaganda efforts during the Vietnam War, the second an early Dutch South African explorer's report of a journey into the unknown regions of the continent.
Eventually, as I recently waited for Coetzee's new novel The Childhood of Jesus to be released in my country, I broke down and ordered a used copy of Dusklands online. It probably wouldn't be any great Coetzee, I figured, but I wouldn't mind a small minor work, a glimpse at the uncertain youthful voice of a later genius.
Oh. My. God. Did I have it wrong.
Now that I've read this tour de force, which may be the most bleak and upsetting book J. M. Coetzee has ever written, I am wondering if perhaps it is out of print for a completely different reason than I thought. Perhaps it's because the book's disturbing violence and sense of menace is too hard for readers to handle. Imagine a combination of Joseph Conrad and Harold Pinter -- with a lot more blood and torture. But this disturbing book appears also to be at least a small masterpiece. I remained gripped and compelled by the narrative for days after reading the final pages.
Mosaic at Twentyby Levi Asher on Wednesday, March 13, 2013 11:45 pm
Nobody's exactly sure when Mosaic, the first popular web browser, was released. Wikipedia cites April 22, 1993 as the date of the 1.0 release, but other sources place the 1.0 date in November 1993. Either way, this software release changed the world.
It's not surprising that the release date is hazy, because NCSA Mosaic was an open source project (not officially "Open Source" because that term hadn't been codified yet, but generally open source in that the software was openly shared and cooperatively developed). Like most open source projects, Mosaic was born gradually and irregularly, and crept into popularity via endless variations of beta versions. I remember first hearing of Mosaic at my computer programming job by the summer of 1993. One year later, every single person in the world, including my parents and grandparents, had heard of it (though few yet had access to it, instead using Compuserve or America Online, if anything at all, to experiment with the new fad generally known as "going online").
Mosaic changed everything. After Mosaic, Compuserve and America Online began their slow death spirals, because Mosaic established the public Internet -- that TCP-IP thing, based in universities, research centers and corporations -- over direct-dial alternatives. Once Mosaic took off, the web craze took off, and (as your grandparents with their Facebook accounts know) the craze has never slowed down. Blame it on Mosaic.

Borderland Political Analyst weighs in on outcome
Wednesday, March 5, 2014 - 8:36pm
El Paso, TX (KDBC) — Election night is over -- and El Paso will be getting a new State Representative in District 76. The incumbent Naomi Gonzalez was soundly defeated in last night's primary -- which surprised many political analysts.
It was the Navy veteran and former Chief of Staff to Ciro Rodriguez and Pete Gallego who came out on top. Cesar Blanco will face former State Rep. Norma Chavez in a run-off election in May.
Professor Gregory Rocha said it's very rare for an incumbent to come in third in an election. He said voters in this race may have chosen their top two candidates based on character -- not politics. Many still upset about Gonzalez's drunk driving arrest.
It's Democratic State Rep. Naomi Gonzalez's mug shot that is one of the first things to pop up in internet searches for the incumbent. According to UTEP professor Gregory Rocha, it may also be the reason she's no longer in the running for her current seat."That was enough to stir up some descent and often it doesn't take much blood to be put into the water to get the sharks attracted," Rocha said.
Gonzalez was arrested March 2013 after she allegedly drove drunk and rear ended a car in Austin. That car then hit a bicyclist. Multiple people were injured.
Rocha said residents in her district -- may have voted based on character, not politics. "It's one thing to govern it's another thing to campaign."
Rocha added, despite her arrest, Gonzalez has been working hard. "She had a fairly good, fairly productive session with passing a good amount of legislation, but sometimes that's not enough."
It's the surprise candidate -- military veteran Cesar Blanco who came out on top election night, "Very, very excited about the turnout. We've been knocking on doors since November. Talking to voters and mostly listening to them," Blanco told us.
He'll now face former Rep. Norma Chavez in a run-off for the district 76 seat. "I bring seniority for District 76 and opportunity. I will be one of the top 25 members in the Texas House of Representatives," Chavez told us back in February.
As for Gonzalez, it's not over for the incumbent yet she still has 9 more months until she steps down.
, "She will still have duties to perform," Rocha explained.
We reached out to Representative Naomi Gonzalez but she declined an on camera interview. As for Norma Chavez, she sent us a statement that stated she was spending time with family.

Before I began writing about education, I never thought much about all that we ask of schools, from teaching kids calculus to civics to character to cardiovascular health. As an editorial writer, I would attend meetings where one group after another would tout some critical new skill that kids ought to have or some societal problem that schools ought to fix.
But I began to realize schools can't be ground zero for every societal change; they simply don't have the time or resources to tackle every challenge facing America today, including childhood obesity.
Can schools help? Sure, but I doubt schools can solve a problem that begins in the home with poor nutritional habits and lack of regular physical activity.
With that backdrop, here is an AJC story on just how out of shape Georgia kids are.

Season 3, Episode 23: "Deus Ex Machina" | Date: May 13, 2014
The disappointing and wildly uneven third season of "Person of Interest" came to an end in a blizzard of techno babble, a lot of shooting and martial arts and a slew of murdered New York cops.
Finch (Michael Emerson) and a slew of other lesser characters whose roles and names are largely forgettable are put on "trial" by a gang of extremists who are upset Finch and the government built a supercomputer capable of monitoring everyone.
Reese (Jim Caviezel) and some other guy from a previous conspiracy subplot whose name I've forgotten and am too disinterested to look up race to rescue Finch.
Root (Amy Acker) and Shaw (Sarah Shahi) rig the new supercomputer, called Samaritan. This involves lots of shooting and witty banter. But they don't wreck the computer. They just rig it so it doesn't recognize any of our heroes — Reese, Finch, Shaw, Root and the three computer nerds who helped Root rig up the gizmo.
Reese rescues Finch. The ruthless, evil British businessman (John Nolan) blows up a building, kills a bunch of cops and other innocent people. Sure, the one time in the history of the series the cops arrive at a call in anything remotely resembling a reasonable response time, they all get killed.
Then he murders the privacy terrorist — a group, it turns out, he orchestrated from the beginning. (Craig Ferguson was right. When in doubt, blame the British.)
The building explosion convinces the government to give the British guy access to all the security feeds in the country. He ends the episode asking the computer to give him orders. Apparently SkyNet is online. Somebody wake John Conner.
Root gives a long speech about how the heroes must now go underground. There's a lot of poetry about Pandora's Box. But by this point I've checked out.
The effort to add gravitas to these final episodes was clumsy and heavy-handed. I'm afraid a show I looked forward to with great interest each week has more of a chore than an entertainment.
"Person of Interest" was renewed for a fourth season by CBS. On a good night, it gets about 12 million viewers. I don't know if I'll be one of them next fall.

Car collecting has taken on a whole new meaning thanks to one British dentist who amassed the largest private collection in Britain with multiple warehouses stocked full of antique Jaguars , Bentleys , Austins, and Minis . However Dr. James Hull's collection is now in the care of Jaguar Land Rover after the automaker purchased the entire fleet for an undisclosed amount.
The collection consists of 543 classic cars dating back to the 1930s and is estimated to be worth some £100 million, or roughly $168,346,500 U.S. dollars as of August 7, 2014. Among the collection are cars like Sir Winston Churchill's Austin, Lord Mountbatten's Mini Traveller , and even Sir Elton John's Bentley.
Besides the sheer number of vehicles, the collection's breath of variety is also intriguing. It ranges from million-dollar Jaguars down to the must humble Morris Minors, a plane-Jane economy car produced from the 1940s through 1970s.
Included are even pristine examples of a super-rare 1950s-era Jaguar XKSS and a D-Type worth more than $6.7 million together. Hull's vehicles even include classic pedal cars dating back to the 1920s to present day. Perhaps the most special one is a Ferrari example that was hand-built in Maranello, Italy in the 1950s.
It's unclear what Jaguar Land Rover plans to do with the massive collection, but it's a sure bet that all 543 cars are in good hands. Perhaps those vehicles not wearing a Jaguar badge will end up at auction, possibly fetching a profit for the British automaker. Be sure to check out the video below the jump.

Happy Father's Day To A Dear Uncle!
Posted by 17 February, 2011
A Pillar Of My Life And Of My Joy;
Patient, Though I May Your Cover Rumple;
Pleased To Be Both Playmate And Large Toy.
Yours Is The Quiet Sanity I Count On,
Familiar In The Space Around Your Voice,
A Gentle, Well-Trained Wisdom I Can Mount On
To Ride To The Persuasion Of My Choice.
Here I Am, Then, At Your Doorstep Waiting,
Eager To Be Held By You And Play,
Ravenous With Hunger There's No Sating,
'Mid Your Life A Willful Piece Of Clay.
So Will We Join Our Destinies In This
Dependency, Which Someday I Will Miss,
A Long, Consuming Moment Which, When Done,
Yet Will Shape The Journeys Still To Run.

This module contains material central to an understanding of Roman literature. The first semester deals with the literature of the late Republic, while the second semester explores the literature produced in the period of Augustus. Both combine the study of individual authors with an emphasis upon the cultural developments taking place during this period. Lectures will explore the intellectual background and the key themes, as well as providing guidance in the reading of texts.
This module contains material central to an understanding of Greek literature, thought and culture, and to the content of all departmental syllabuses. The first part focuses on 5th-century Athenian drama: tragedy, comedy and satyr-plays. Plays are investigated not as closed texts but as what they are: scripts for performance. Lectures situate plays in the context of the development of their genres; explore evidence for Athenian theatrical practice; and introduce key critical approaches, as well as some modern recreations of Greek plays. Workshops allow in-depth discussion of the verbal and visual meanings of individual plays or scenes; some will include discussion of performances seen on video. The core of the module, however, consists of practical enactment of scenes by groups of students. By acting, and by evaluating other students' enactments, students discover for themselves the plays' visual and oral possibilities (and difficulties), and gain an understanding of the processes whereby the significance of the verbal text is realised, augmented or varied in performance.
The second part of this module places drama in a larger context by exploring the other genres in which conflicting models of the polis were articulated and the ideal of democracy was formed, reformed or rejected. Students explore the complex relationships between the various 'theatres' of Athenian civic life - the assembly, the courts, the agora, the private reading or debate, and of course the theatre itself; and between the 'imaginary' and the 'real' - the overlapping domains of political theory, political rhetoric and ideology, and political practice. Lectures provide a historical framework and introduce the various genres as well as key concepts and methodologies; workshops are an opportunity to investigate particular texts, and relationships between texts, in greater detail.
In this option you will study selected plays by the four greatest and most influential ancient comic playwrights of antiquity: the Athenians Aristophanes (c. 450-c. 380) and Menander (342/1-291/0), and the Romans Plautus (c. 250-c. 180) and Terence (c. 190-c. 160). We begin with Aristophanes, whose crazy, scurrilous, obscene and extravagant fantasy dramas shed colourful and scintillating light on Athenian politics, society and intellectual culture during and immediately after the Peloponnesian War.
After a brief glance at early 4th century Middle Comedy, known to us from scanty but tantalising fragments, we move on to the very different world of Athens in the late 4th century, still an intellectual and cultural powerhouse but now politically dominated by the Alexander the Great and his successors. This was the cosmopolitan, louche and sentimentally-inclined milieu that produced New Comedy: the ancestor of the European comic tradition, from Italian Commedia dell' Arte via Shakespeare, Molière, French farce and Ealing comedy to the modern Hollywood rom-com and TV sitcom.
Menander drew his comic situations from the intrigues and vicissitudes of family life: fathers and sons, husbands, wives, and mistresses, masters and slaves, and, above all, lovesick young men and their girlfriends. It's about deception, crossed purposes, mistaken identities, cunning plans which go wrong, interventions of Chance or Fate, and – usually – happy endings in which boy and girl are united against the odds. Unlike Aristophanes, whose works became school textbook, Menander's plays were the ancient equivalent of the airport novel; they survived – in fragments – not because they were copied by medieval monks but because they have turned up on papyrus leaves in rubbish-dumps, mostly in Egypt.
Greek New Comedy was exported to the Greek cities of southern Italy and there gave birth to the first comedies in Latin. The star playwrights were Plautus, from Sarsina in Umbria (N. Italy), and Terence, probably from North Africa. Their comic world could veer between a Greek/ Athenian fantasyland and the Roman here-and-now, creating a fusion of escapism and social satire not a million miles from The Simpsons, South Park or Family Guy.
There will be a mixture of lectures by me, student presentations, and workshop/ seminar activities. The two guiding strands will be ancient contexts and modern comparisons. On the one hand, how did these plays work in a particular place and time, against the backdrop of the Peloponnesian War, the bourgeois Athenian polis under Macedonian rule, or the emerging Roman imperium, and what can they tell us about the societies which produced them? On the other hand, how can we understand them better as comedy by comparing them with modern comic works – in whatever genre – which use recognisably similar techniques?
You will not be made to act – and you certainly don't need any skill or experience as an actor – but it will be an advantage if you are willing to get involved and not too worried about looking silly in a room where other people – including the lecturer – are looking silly too.
This module will examine the portrayal of Roman women, in contexts such as marriage, family, public life, religion, etc, in texts ranging from late republican to late imperial Rome. Sources will include Roman letters, historiography, epic, satire and elegy, as well as epigraphic material. Representation of historical characters such as Clodia Metelli, or Cornelia, the mother of the Gracchi, will be studied alongside fictional creations such as the Italian queen Amata in the Aeneid, or Propertius' mistress "Cynthia".
This option introduces students to receptions of classical antiquity in film, television, and other contemporary popular media.
Semester 1 focuses on ancient Greece, as represented in the 1990s 'cult' television series, Xena: Warrior Princess. Students will meet a range of appropriate methodologies for the study of popular cultural materials, with particular emphasis on cultural, media, subculture and fan studies. The module includes study of controversial receptions of antiquity by minority-identified constituencies (e.g. the Black Athena debate), additionally enabling students to reflect critically on the formation and procedures of their own academic disciplines.
Semester 2 concentrates mainly on representations of Rome in Hollywood and in avant-garde cinema, studying films such as Spartacus, The Fall of the Roman Empire, Gladiator, and Fellini's Satyricon and Roma. Students will learn to deploy methodologies appropriate to the study of the reception of the ancient world, as well as some introductory knowledge of the various theories of film as an art form.
The focus of this module will be on the Italian cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum, destroyed during the eruption of Vesuvius in AD 79, and their region. It will examine the society, culture and religion of the cities through a range of literary, inscription and archaeological evidence. Students will be introduced to the problems that each of these types of material poses for the historian. The module will address many different aspects of life within the cities including public and private display; the demonstration of loyalty to the emperor and empire; elite patronage; religious cult; work at the cities; public entertainment including gladiators and public deviance; elections and governance. Additionally the module will consider the heritage management of the material remains at the sites and will address perceptions of Pompeii in popular culture (including for instance painting, film and TV, and popular novels). Comparisons will be drawn between the cities and their importance as examples of Roman urbanism more generally will be analysed. Relevant comparisons to other Italian cities will also be made. Finally, the module will consider what the cities can teach us about urban change during the Roman empire.
In this seminar, students have the opportunity to study Catullus' entire oeuvre in depth. We will read the short poems (elegies and epigrams) in the first semester, and devote the second semester to the long poems (including the wedding hymns, the Attis poem, and the mini-epic 64). The poetry will be read in its late republican context, and we will explore, for instance, how the attitudes and vocabulary presented by Catullus relate to the wider context of works such as Cicero's de Oratore and de Officiis. We will also explore the evidence for the practices involved in reading, writing, performance and publication in the late republic. We will, of course, also look into the representation of the relationship with Lesbia and explore the implications of this for our understanding of the role of women in the late republic.
The Histories of Herodotus is considered one of the seminal works of history in Western literature. The Histories serves as a record of the ancient traditions, politics, geography, and clashes of various cultures that were known around the Mediterranean and Western Asia at that time. It is not an impartial record but it remains one of the West's most important sources regarding these affairs. Moreover, the author Herodotus thereby invented 'history' as a field of study.
The Mahābhārata (muh-HAA-BAA-ruh-tuh) is the nearest thing in Indian literature to Homer. Composed in Sanskrit (the Indian equivalent of Latin), its kernel dates back to a century or two before Homer, but it has been colossally expanded since then. It tells of five brothers, the Pandavas, who win a wife, spend time in exile, learn religious and moral truths, interact with good, evil and often inscrutable characters – gods and heroes (in Greek terms), and win the great final battle that brings this heroic age to an end (just as the Trojan War does). Yudhishthira, the leading Pandava, then rules for 36 years, till – bearing a dog – he enters heaven. If Homer is the bible of the Greeks, then the Mahābhārata enshrines an infinity of learning – it even includes the celebrated Bhagavad Gītā.
This seminar is for pioneers and those interested in other cultures. I do not claim to be an expert in the material, but I do think that we can find our way together through it and learn a lot more about Homer too in the process.
I anticipate that students taking this seminar will have a reasonablish knowledge of Homer (Odyssey too), one way or another, and will be keen to spot the similarities and differences. We will use an abridgement of the Mahābhārata (not a 're-telling'!), given its huge length (8 times the Homeric epics combined) and the absence of a complete translation in modern English, even if it were affordable. There is a complete English translation on line (1883-96) and we will occasionally turn to it. Mostly we will go book by book through the Mahābhārata and pick up the Homeric resonances as we go along. The format of seminar and oral presentations is nicely suited to this exploration. We may also look at excerpts from DVD productions.
This module will investigate the representation of sexual, moral and political corruption in Athens and Rome. It will proceed through a range of case studies on the darker side of the Roman and Athenian elites as portrayed by a range of authors from the Graeco-Roman world. It will examine the rhetoric of moral corruption, the ways that it was used by authors to make political and social points and the 'othering' of social groups. In semester 1 we will examine classic Republican and Imperial exemplars of corruption including Mark Antony, Caligula and Elagabalus. In semester 2 we will focus on a range of characters and characterisations including: Theseus, Harmodius and Aristogeiton (the tyrannicides), Pericles and his concubine Aspasia, and Demetrius Poliorcetes filling the Parthenon with his prostitutes.

Date of News Release: 12/11/2009
(Madisonville, Ky.) -- On Thursday, December 10, 2009, troopers from the Kentucky State Police Post 2 Madisonville transported Martin O. Henriquez, age 41 of Wilmington, NC, from the Whiteville Correctional Facility in Whiteville, TN to the Christian County Detention Center. Mr. Henriquez was served with warrants charging him with murder and leaving the scene of an accident/failure to render aide. He was lodged in the Christian County Detention Center. The warrants were obtained in reference to a three-vehicle, fatality crash that occurred on Interstate 24 on April 28, 2009. Mr. Henriquez had been lodged in Tennessee on charges he received in Tennessee after leaving the scene of the fatal crash.
Original News Release Below:
Date of News Release: 04/29/2009
(Madisonville, Ky.) -- Mr. Lonnie Anderson was operating a 2003 Ford Explorer Eastbound on Interstate 24. It has been determined during the investigation that his vehicle was struck by a 1999 International Semi, driven by Mr. Martin Henriquez. Mr. Henriquez's vehicle hit the Ford Explorer causing it to cross the median into the westbound lane. Once in the westbound lane the explorer hit a 2007 Kenworth driven by Mr. Kevin Wissell. The Ford hit the Kenworth head on, causing the Ford to cross the median again back into the eastbound lane. The Ford came to rest in the emergency portion of the eastbound lane. The Kenworth continued westbound on I-24 and ran off the right shoulder of the roadway into a field. The 1999 International driven by Mr. Henriquez continued eastbound on I-24 and did not stop at the scene. Mr. Henriquez traveled into Tennessee where he was involved in another accident. He was arrested by the Coopertown Police Department in Tennessee. The driver of the Ford Explorer was pronounced dead at the scene. The driver of the other two vehicles were not injured. The accident is still under investigation by the Kentucky State Police.

If you're taking Calculus II and just learning about sums of sequences — aka series — here's how I heuristically guess at a problem before I break it down:
The last one is the most surprising. Just remember: log is really, really … really, slow!
It also never stops — look at log x / x, i.e. log versus straight-line, i.e. log per unit.
Of course, you already knew that! Because
So just like {1/3, 1/4, …, 1/66, …, 1/7293, …} never settles down to zero, thus log never stops increasing. But all the while, log is increasing ever more slowly.
NOTE TO PEDANTS: You might object that ∞ is "not a number" so I can't use the equals sign. To you I say,
(a) consider using hyperreal or surreal numbers;
(b) consider projective geometry;
(c) consider the Riemann sphere.
All three use the point ∞ as an element of the set of numbers.

I had a personal experience with this a few years ago when I was master of ceremonies at a conference, and was asked to introduce some of the best-known serious researchers in the field of Ufology. I was also asked to introduce the other types mentioned above, and a "tin foil hat contest." Since then I have refused to attend or be part of such conferences. Personally I have nothing against them, but feel UFO research is of such importance that it should not be combined with many that refer to themselves as paranormal.

"He's a liar. He's delusional." That's what many people will be saying about me when they read this book. Honestly, I can't blame them. I'm even quite skeptical about all this myself. The mere notion of a life after death experience appears to be a massive stretch of my imagination. But it's all true; at least I think it is.

THE OLD FARMHOUSE WAS quickly engulfed in furious flames and responders were doing all they could to guard their eyes from the bright glare that illuminated in the blackness of the 3 a.m. sky, and scalding heat, but there was little to nothing that anyone could have done to stop the fire from destroying the simple structure. However, firefighters were successful in preventing the flames from extending to the various outbuildings and, even more importantly, the surrounding neighborhood. Reports were coming in by people from across the entire county of the blaze in the sky.

There are few in the Piedmont of North Carolina who haven't heard at least something of the story of Charlie Lawson, a Stokes County farmer who murdered all his family but one son, then killed himself on Christmas Day, 1929. The tale has become legend in the Germanton Community, and has various ghostly legends associated with it. A new book entitled The Meaning Of Our Tears , as well as a wonderful documentary called A Christmas Family Tragedy were released in December, 2006, around the 77th Anniversary of the event.

Being a long time researcher of the 1947 Roswell Incident, and now doing Roswell UFO Tours here in town frequently, I'm fortunate to be able to share my research with many people who have different perspectives of the Incident from all over the world. Many, in fact most, have heard about Roswell through one means or another, and for the most part are curious to find out more. That's particularly true of those visitors that book the tours from foreign countries. Many of those have a deeper interest of the event than Americans, perhaps because most of us in this country have been hearing about Roswell for the past 35 years in books, radio, movies and other media outlets. All that exposure however doesn't appear to have gotten us any closer to the truth, as we continue to seek information about what actually happened here 60 some years ago.

The object of much hype and speculation is currently traveling at speeds of more than two million miles per day. In November and certainly by its closest approach around Christmas, ISON should be a grand spectacle in the skies without a telescope.

Great news and another reason why you should take a trip to a psychic!

Ayn Rand (1905-1982) was a Russian novelist, best known for 'The Fountainhead' (1943) and 'Atlas Shrugged' (1957). She developed a philosophy called 'Objectivism' and had been interviewed by the likes of Mike Wallace, Johnny Carson and Phil Donahue. Considered one of the elite (extreme right-wing) intellectuals, her books continue to sell and influence millions. In this totally-unknown writer's opinion, such a fact is a crying shame.

New Yorkers may have the opportunity to open an investigation into the collapse of 7 World Trade Center on 9/11.
The NYC Coalition for Accountability Now (NYC CAN), an organization comprised of 9/11 victims, first responders and family members, presented a petition with more than 67,000 signatures to support a ballot referendum questioning how 7 World Trade Center collapsed on 9/11.
The referendum titled "The High Rise Safety Initiative" would require the NYC Department of Buildings to investigate the causes of high-rise buildings collapses that occurred on, or any time after 9/11.
The investigation would exclude the collapse of World Trade Center 1 and 2.
7 World Trade Center was the last building to collapse on 9/11. The building sustained damage from the collapse of the North Tower and collapsed at approximately 5:20 p.m.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) conducted investigations on 7 World Trade Center and determined fire brought down the building.
NYC CAN disputes the reports because the destruction of the steel in the building's cleanup caused NIST to rely on computer models. Also, NYC CAN claims experts disputed NIST's findings, saying NIST omitted critical structural features from their models. The belief is a new investigation conducted by the city will address these claims and help better understand how 7 World Trade Center collapsed for safer building design in the future.
The City Council needs to verify the signatures and can reject the proposal by September 2, which would require the group to gather 15,000 more signatures by September 4 for approval.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Worst school for bullying period! Principal 1star. staff should have someone in the morning and dismissal to make sure students feel safe leaving the building.
I love this school! The new principal is hands-on with parents and students alike, the teachers are pleasant and appear very interested in the students. The kindergarten teachers are excellent, had my son reading by the middle of the year! A+
4stars for school in general score , I rate the teacher's a 4,,I also rate the Principal 4 stars. I think alot more parents need to show more interest in their children's School.
i dont think this school is great because thiers to much fighting and insulting
I think this school should do more for the kids to get them going,and change some of the teaching and teachers.I can count only 4to continue to teach there. As for the principal that is there now, Mr H. so far its all negetive stuff. I'll post some more during the school year.2004-2005
The teachers and principal of this school do a great job with what they have to deal with. The problems that the children come to school with make it more difficult for them to learn and I believe this could be accomplished more easily in smaller groups, with more specialized attention in the areas that are needed. I care very much about what my child is learning and am concerned about these low ratings in math and reading.

Plattsburgh, New York - September 7, 2010
A Plattsburgh man accused of gunning down two people in cold blood is claiming he suffers from a mental illness.
Prosecutors allege Tony Pavone, 52, shot and killed Patricia Howard and Timothy Carter at Carter's home in Dannemora back in January. Howard had dumped Pavone and was dating Carter.
The defense is arguing Pavone suffered from a mental illness. Doctors are evaluating him.
"I'm anticipating without that defense, there will be a likely plea in the case. Throughout the ongoing investigation with the New York State Police, we have had many issues that have come up that would support that Pavone was not suffering from a mental disease or defect on January 31, 2010," Clinton County District Attorney Andrew Wylie said.
If Pavone accepts the plea deal he would spend 50 years to life in prison. If the case goes to trial and he is convicted, Pavone faces life without parole.

as much as i love having people around me, constantly, i tend to forget the most important thing: at the end of the day, when everyone's gone home...
Back in Kuala Lumpur, daily life was actually rather good.
In a lot of ways, I personally had it easy.
Going to the eateries across the road, going past condo security, hitting up the local bar or convenience store always yielded the same results: friendly smiles, excellent service and sometimes a discount.
Why? Well, because basically, I was different.
I stood out.
Not just because I'm white, mind you.
But when you're a big, bald, bespectacled, benevolent white dude, you get noticed.
And remembered.
I was going against what I was surrounded by.
As they say in advertising circles, I was zagging when everyone else was zigging.
I think it was two or three days after I moved into the Pelangi Condominium that security would wave me past the gate with a smile without having to go through the mandatory ID check.
I began to be greeted by each of the Malay-Indian blokes at the mamak restaurant across the road and it wasn't long before they started bringing me my usual without question.
I even had one or two pints on the house at the local bar on some occasions.
But why the special treatment? I hear you not actually asking.
I have a theory.
People love it when they remember something. It's like a trick you got your brain to perform. Most of the time when you recognise something, it makes you happy.
Watch closely someone who you might meet for the second time and they recognise you. There's always that slight smirk as they mentally connect the pieces and stand back to admire the cerebral jigsaw they completed.
Same with conversations about particular places or things. People like to join in because it's a place they know or something they're familiar with.
You can notice the tiny celebration going on behind their eyes that they've seen something they recognise and welcome it.
I mean, that's the truth about people isn't it? We stick to what we know.
And what's easy to remember?
That which is distinguished from what we normally see; what stands out; what zags.
In work and in life it's an important question to ask.
'Is what I'm doing distinguishable?'
'Will I get that celebratory smirk when I'm recognised?'
It spans from an art piece you're planning, to a business model, to the outfit you'll wear to a fancy party.
Standing out makes you easy to remember.
Your memory will then be welcomed.
And on some occasions, rewarded.
My first (creative) partner was a girl in my ad school during my third year doing a Bachelor of Communications at AUT.
She was great, we did a lot of interesting work together.
There was one thing about her that I found odd.
She didn't watch television.
Her family didn't have one. She was raised like this. Instead of watching TV, she'd pursue hobbies like dancing, which is all well and good because she was an excellent dancer.
And her parents took her to different countries when she was little, so she was well travelled. Phenomenally so.
But she didn't watch television.
And to me, this left a gap in her thinking.
Sometimes, I would suggest an angle we could explore or lines we could use based on popular culture originating from a TV show, and she would come back to me; expressionless.
I think there was one time I mentioned a TV character like Captain Planet.
"Captain Planet. You know, the Planeteers? Earth, Fire, Wind, Water, Heart? Go, Planet?"
"Nope. Are you sure people know who that is?"
"Are you serious?!"
Good advertising messages stem from insights. Insights about the product, where it's made, how to use it, the people that use it, an so on.
The best advertising messages stem from life insights. Aspects of daily living that transcend language, age and gender boundaries.
And the best way to come up with these life insights is to experience life.
If you're disconnected somehow, you're not going to reach those crucial truths you need.
In a way, this means to travel; see different people and cultures and view life from a unique perspective.
In a more realistic way, this means to branch out from what you already do.
Just because Ted, Marshall, Lily, Robin and Barney hang out at MacLaren's Pub all the time, doesn't mean it's cool for you to do as well.
Read a book you by an author you don't normally read; see a movie you wouldn't see; watch TV, a lot; go to a restaurant you haven't been to and order something you don't normally eat.
Every new thing you do gives you a new perspective and broadens your thinking.
You could notice how people who can't handle spicy food look like they're taking a Lamaze class when they eat, or how the majority of commuters read books on the train, or all the weird tips and tricks for picking out perfect produce you learn from farmer's market patrons.
They can all birth interesting ideas that come from simple life insights.
Another thing I would recommend is to watch a lot of stand up comedians. All and any you can. Local ones, international ones, male ones, female ones, transgender ones, old ones, young ones, Irish ones, American ones, Spanish ones, Chinese ones, Nigerian ones, bad ones, really bad ones, all of them.
Especially those who specialise in observational humor.
What these people do for a living is take even the tiniest life insight, like the faces men make when we shave, and turn it into something relatable, funny and entertaining.
Gee, that sounds familiar.
And you can tell they've hit the nail on the head with these details of daily life because of the immediate laughter from the audience.
Young creatives could learn a lot from these people. The more you watch, the more perspective you benefit from - it's simple.
As a creative (especially one working in advertising), you're not just living life, you're exploring it. And the best way to do that is just do something different from time to time.
A friend of mine, Iain Nealie, a creative at TBWA\Tequila in Auckland, once did something as simple as using a different mode of transport to go to work each day for a week.
He managed it (walk, run, car, skateboard, bus).
Simple as that.
Or just at least make sure you're getting enough TV each day.
