Additionally, the Compass website includes links to the Compass user manual, video tutorials and additional training resources to help you get started.
Are the results reproducible? How long should I wait in between scans?
ZYTO technology measures the most rapidly changing field in the body, the energetic field, which processes 400 million impulses of information per second. When dealing with complex mind-body systems, repeatable measurements are not always expected. However, in most instances successive assessments will produce comparative results; each assessment will present a picture that is comparative in a meaningful way to the other assessments. Health professionals and others with ZYTO assessment experience learn that results obtained from the first assessment are valid and the most accurate.

I have the following problem, I want to iterate two variables in Simulink. In normal code it would look like this:
X(i+1)=X(i)+4*(X(i)-Y(i)); Y(i+1)=Y(i)+2*(X(i)-Y(i));
I used For Iterate Block but it doesn't work. I'm getting an error:
"Trouble solving algebraic loop containing 'untitled/For Iterator Subsystem1' at time 0. Stopping simulation. There may be a singularity in the solution. If the model is correct, try reducing the step size (either by reducing the fixed step size or by tightening the error tolerances)."
Here's what i have done in Simulink
No products are associated with this question.

Konica Minolta Introduces the World's First Inkjet Printhead for Printed Electronics, Providing Tiny Drop Size and High Precision
Konica Minolta IJ Technologies, Inc. (Konica Minolta) announced today that the company developed KM128SNG-MB, a high precision inkjet printhead, with the first use of MEMS technology at Konica Minolta. KM128SNG-MB delivers tiny drop size (1 picoliter*) for the first time for printed electronics applications, and is planned to go on sale in sample quantities this spring.
KM128SNG-MB inkjet printhead (Photo: Business Wire)
This next-generation inkjet printhead is manufactured using silicon MEMS technology that is also used in semiconductor processing. This technology made possible the successful development of a small printhead structure (38 mm wide, 128 nozzles in one row) that can eject tiny drops of ink. Careful ink path design and high precision assembly technology enable stable, high precision printing with a tiny drop size, while also providing the ink resistance and optimization for low viscosity inks that are demanded in industrial applications. Utilization of MEMS technology will enable future nozzle integration according to customer need, as well as further miniaturization of the printhead itself. KM128SNG-MB will demonstrate its worth in OLED display patterning, OLED lighting thin film layer coating, and new manufacturing technologies to provide high-resolution, high added value displays for smartphones and similar devices.
The printed electronics market, including next-generation flexible displays, should reach 2 trillion yen by 2020 (according to Konica Minolta research). It is anticipated this newly designed printhead will contribute greatly to the market. Through industrial inkjet technology, the printhead will contribute in the near future to next-generation printed electronics which enable low power, low resource usage, and high manufacturability.
Major features of the newly designed KM128SNG-MB inkjet printhead
- Utilizes silicon MEMS technology used in semiconductor processing
- First printhead for printed electronics applications to achieve a 1 pl drop size
- High precision printhead structure = 38 mm wide, 128 nozzles in one row
- Stable, highly accurate operation with precision drive control on a per-nozzle basis
- High ink resistance and optimization for low viscosity inks for industrial applications
- Provides highly uniform thin film print thickness (at the 100 nm level)
- Perfect for displays manufacturing technology, such as for OLED display
- Proprietary DPN (Drive Per Nozzle) drive board and evaluation equipment available
*1 picoliter is a trillionth of 1 liter

Liver cancer usually begins in the tissues or nodules of the liver, but can also occur within cells of the liver bile ducts. The most common form of liver cancer is hepatocellular carcinoma. The exact causes of liver cancer are unknown. Some symptoms for early liver cancer are similar to other cancers and non-cancer related illnesses, which can make liver cancer difficult to detect and diagnose.
Risk Factors
Liver cancer is difficult to diagnose because symptoms often do not appear until the disease has progressed to later stages. Symptoms may include:
Limiting certain risk factors and taking proactive measures can decrease the incidence of liver cancer. To reduce the risk of the disease, men and women should limit alcohol and tobacco use, maintain a healthy weight, engage in physical activity, treat cirrhosis and other diseases that increase risk in the early stages, and avoid exposure to certain chemicals and toxins. It is also important to prevent contact with the hepatitis B and C virus. The hepatitis B virus vaccination is recommended for all infants, children, and high-risk adults.
Treatment Options
Treatment options vary, depending on the liver's condition and the size, location, and stage of the cancerous tumor. Treatment for liver cancer may include a combination of surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, targeted therapy, proton therapy, radiofrequency ablation, or tumor embolization. Surgery may include a liver transplant, if necessary.

One piece dominates the room. It looks like a painting at first. It shows a threadbare seclusion room and a restraining bed. Wait Times for VA Health Care Growing in Connecticut By Lucy Nalpathanchil • Jul 7, 2014 Chion Wolf / WNPR U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal wants the VA to explain why veterans are waiting longer than 30 days to be seen in Connecticut and nationwide. Stressed Out: Americans Tell Us About Stress In Their Lives By editor • Jul 7, 2014 Everyone seems to talk about feeling stressed out. But what's the reality of stress in America these days? NPR, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the Harvard School of Public Health conducted a nationwide poll in March and early April to find out. Our questions zeroed in on the effect of stress in Americans' lives. We asked about people's personal experiences with stress in the preceding month and year. We also asked about how they perceived the effects of stress, how they cope with stress and their attitudes about it. Sorting Through the Hobby Lobby Decision By Diane Orson • Jul 3, 2014 Justin Sullivan / Getty Images In a five-to-four decision Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that requiring so-called closely-held, for-profit corporations to pay for contraception coverage under the Affordable Care Act, violates a federal law that protects religious freedom.

What does that say about the state's economic development plans? A charter school organization faces investigations of its finances and operations. What does it say about the school reform movement? We'll look at those stories, plus the Supreme Court ruling on the Affordable Care Act's contraception mandate, and whether the employer-based insurance model makes sense today. VA Offers Doctor's Appointment To Man Who Died In 2012 By Bill Chappell • Jul 1, 2014 Nearly two years after her husband died, a Massachusetts woman received a letter saying that a Veterans Affairs hospital was ready to see him. Suzanne Chase's husband, Doug, was a Vietnam veteran who died of a brain tumor; the agency is apologizing over the mistake. Some Companies Can Refuse To Cover Contraception, Supreme Court Says By Bill Chappell • Jun 30, 2014 The Supreme Court has ruled that family owned and other closely held companies can opt out of the Affordable Care Act's provisions for no-cost prescription contraception in most health insurance if they have religious objections. The owners of the Hobby Lobby chain of arts and crafts stores and those of another closely held company, Conestoga Wood Specialties Corp., had objected on the grounds of religious freedom. The ruling affirms a Hobby Lobby victory in a lower court and gives new standing to similar claims by other companies.

It's a tricky issue for policy makers, which is why we're so glad to have as the basis for our conversation a new set of information called the Connecticut Health Care Survey. Six organizations came together to put out this report, which is drawn from some 5400 households interviewed.

More EMTs Doing House Calls, Not Just ER Transport By editor • Jun 17, 2014 It's being called the house call of the future: ambulance crews who rush when you call 9-1-1, but instead of taking you to the emergency room, they treat you at home.

A woman clutching a motorcycle helmet and a video-camera was strolling down the middle of I-20, walking headlong into traffic. "She seemed very focused and oblivious to the interstate traffic," wrote the officer, who stopped to help her. "Don't touch me!" the woman screamed. The officer pulled out his Taser and ordered her to comply. They sat in his patrol car for a chat. "She told me I could drug-test her and that she was looking for her memory card (from the video-camera). She said that what was on the memory card was more important than her life," the officer noted. Also, she said earlier, she was riding her motorcycle, but it broke down. The officer wrote, "She started talking about people hacking into her grandmother or mother's computer and people following her around."
Police found her damaged motorcycle on 1-20 and moved it to a safer location. The woman, age 41, was charged with pedestrian violations.
At the police precinct, officers found large amounts of electrical equipment stuffed into pouches strapped around the woman's waist. Two bags of electrical equipment were attached to her motorcycle. At the precinct, "She started speaking into one of the little hand-held voice recorders, telling it what was happening to her now." When she lifted up her arms, officers saw little cuts on her stomach and chest — some fresh cuts, some old cuts. Also, she had carved three people's names into her left leg (old cuts). The woman said one name belonged to an ex-boyfriend. The woman "seemed to have a lot of insight into herself but she kept going back to people having herself and her family under surveillance," the officer noted. She kept saying she needed to get back to I-20 to search for her missing memory card. At this point, police decided the best place for her was Grady's psych ward.
HE FOUGHT THE LAW — AND WON: Around 1:30 a.m. Atlanta police responded to a call from a Fulton County Sheriff's Deputy, requesting help. The sheriff's deputy, a 31-year-old woman, explained that she's having problems with her ex-boyfriend. She said around 1 a.m. she drove to a location near Niskey Lake to meet an ex-boyfriend and talk about their relationship issues. As they sat in the car together, the conversation quickly disintegrated into an argument, with both parties screaming at each other. According to the woman, her ex-boyfriend grabbed her purse, hopped out of the car and ran away. She jumped out of the car and chased him on foot. She said her ex-boyfriend circled around her car, hopped into the driver's seat, and drove away in her new black Ford without her permission. It gets worse: Her work gear was in the car, her gun, bulletproof vest, Fulton County Duty Belt. Also, the woman said, her iPhone was in the car, along with her Gucci purse, containing 4,000 cash. (That's a hefty sum for a sheriff's deputy to take to a meeting with an ex-boyfriend.)
Eventually, the ex-boyfriend called and agreed to meet her on Martin Luther King Jr. Drive to return her car. The woman went there and waited for about 20 minutes — no sign of the ex-boyfriend — so she called Atlanta police.
An officer arrived to take the report. While he was there, the ex-boyfriend called the woman's friend and said he left her black Ford on Country Club. The woman went there and inspected her car — it was perfectly fine. Her work gun and bulletproof vest were still there. However, the woman said, her Gucci purse filled with $4,000 cash and her purple iPhone were no longer in the car.
DRIVING FORCE: A Douglasville woman said her 11-year-old son went to start her car — like he always does — to cool down the car's interior. Somehow the car hurled across the parking lot, slamming into a staircase and an apartment wall. According to the 11-year-old boy, he started his mom's car, then hopped into the back seat to play his video game — when a strange man dressed in black and white hopped into the car and drove it into the building. This strange man (possibly imaginary) disappeared before anyone else ever laid eyes him. Absolutely no one living in the apartments saw this man. Police didn't buy the kid's story, either. They filed the report as Damage to property to mom's silver Acura.
BALLSY REQUEST: Near East Atlanta, a young man was allegedly begging for money outside a gas station. An officer stopped and ordered him to leave the area — giving him a criminal trespass warning. The man said, "I don't have my ID on me and I was robbed when I was in Ohio and they took everything." The officer explained that he cannot panhandle in Atlanta. The man replied, "Well, why don't you give me some money or something or get me something out the store? Stunned, the officer said, "Are you serious, sir?" The man replied, "Hell yeah, I'm serious, and some money would be nice." The man, age 20, went to jail, charged with soliciting money.

This Just In: You(genious) Not Dead, Is Awesome
Every "Atomic Dog" has his day: You(genious) and George Clinton. Woof! Photos by anotherlevelphotography.com
There were rumors floating around this week that You(genious), Houston's parenthetical Misfit of R&B, had died during Hurricane Ike. We gave him a call and he took a few minutes to address the rumor, its origins and the possibility of writing a song about all this nonsense.
Houston Press: Hey, bro. We got an email in our inbox saying that you had died in Ike.
You(genious): Yeah? [laughs]
HP: So, is it true? Are you, in fact, dead?
Y: [laughs] No. I got an email myself. I had a bunch of friends call me and I'd answer the phone and they'd be like, "I thought you were dead!" It reached all the way to New York. I got a homeboy that lives in New York. He thought it was a publicity stunt.
HP: Do you have any idea how the rumor got started? It was Perez Hilton, wasn't it? That guy is such a douche.
Y: I don't know how it got started, but it sounded like some shit I'd do.
HP: What? How so? What do you mean?
Y: Oh, [the email] said that it was 4 a.m. and I was in dress socks and a bathrobe yelling obscenities at Ike and I got mad at the hurricane and took my Cognac glass and threw it and the wind picked it up and hit me in the head and sent me into a coma-like state. Then I died in the hospital.
HP: Wow. So you were, in effect, trying to fight a hurricane. That's great.
Y: [laughs] Yeah, I was trying to fight a hurricane. Well, it said I was mad at the hurricane and that I was under the influence of cannibus and prescription drugs.
HP: So where were you during the hurricane, then?
Y: I was, I was drunk and high off of prescription drugs.
HP: Oh. Okay. You were in Houston then?
Y: I was in Houston, yeah. I was at Steve Torrez's house, the drummer from Spain Colored Orange.
HP: So can we expect a song from this whole Hurricane Ike thing? If so, can we suggest some titles? "There's a Tropical Storm Brewing in My Pants" could be good. Or maybe "Gettin' You Wet Like Ike"?
Y: [laughs] You mean like an actual song? Oh my God. Maybe I'll do a mashup of me and Ike Turner. - Shea Serrano

Windows 10 Bans Intrusive DRM, Torrent Trackers Ban Windows 10The Bobby Blackwolf Show - August 23, 2015
We're going to be at Dragon Con presenting a few panels and partying for the rest of the time. Come see us! Microsoft has announced that Windows 10 won't run some games that have extremely intrusive DRM. There is a line in the EULA that some people claim can remove pirated software from a Windows 10 user's hard drive. This means that several private torrent trackers are banning Windows 10 users from their goods.

Press Release |
Fitch Affirms San Joaquin Delta CCD, CA's GOs at 'AA-'; Outlook Stable
* Reuters is not responsible for the content in this press release.
http://pdf.reuters.com/htmlnews/8knews.asp?i=43059c3bf0e37541&u=urn:newsml:reuters.com:20130325:nBw256145a SAN FRANCISCO--(Business Wire)-- Fitch Ratings has affirmed San Joaquin Delta Community College District, California's (CCD; the district) general obligation bonds (GOs) as noted below: --$133.6 million outstanding GOs at 'AA-'. The Rating Outlook is Stable. SECURITY The bonds are secured by an unlimited property tax on all taxable property within the district. KEY RATING DRIVERS SOUND FINANCIAL OPERATIONS: The district enjoys a sound financial cushion, estimated balanced operations after prudent cost containment measures, and the state funding environment has shown signs of material improvement over the past year. FINANCIAL VULNERABILITIES REMAIN: The district is exposed to volatile state funding, pent-up demands from various stakeholders following years of cost-cutting, and likely rising pension costs over the near term. WEAK LOCAL ECONOMY. Income levels are low, the tax base is in its fifth consecutive year of contraction, unemployment is very high, and the local housing market was one of the worst-affected in the nation. However, recent data suggests the economy is beginning to stabilize. SATISFACTORY DEBT PROFILE: The net debt burden, principal amortization, and carrying costs are moderate. Management has taken steps in recent years to deal with its OPEB liability; however, the district participates in the state's poorly funded CalSTRS pension plan. RATING SENSITIVITY An unanticipated and substantial fund balance decline to just adequate levels could trigger a negative rating action. CREDIT PROFILE The district serves a 2,300 square mile service area in economically stressed San Joaquin County, as well as small portions of Alameda, Calaveras, Sacramento, and Solano counties. With an estimated population of over 725,000, the district provided educational services to 15,750 students in fiscal 2012. These services are provided at the district's main campus in the city of Stockton (the city) and its learning centers in Tracy and Manteca. STOCKTON REGION HARD-HIT BY RECESSION The city historically has been dominated by agriculture, despite some recent diversification, and is located between the two large employment centers of the San Francisco Bay Area and the Sacramento region. Population growth was rapid prior to the recession, fueled by the area's affordability and availability of land. However, the city and county were severely affected by the housing-led recession. The county's housing market was one of the worst-affected in the nation, with peak-to-trough price declines of nearly two-thirds. These real estate losses have resulted in a five-year 18.2% district assessed value (AV) loss, though the AV decline in fiscal 2013 narrowed to just 0.2% from a loss of 4% the year prior. City unemployment is very high at 17.1% and median household income levels are below average at 77% and 90% of state and national levels, respectively. Per capita income levels are significantly lower. SOME SIGNS OF ECONOMIC STABILIZATION Recent data suggest the city's stressed economy may be stabilizing. Employment expanded by nearly 4% in 2012 following four consecutive years of contraction. Also, year-to-date home prices are up 9% according to Zillow, suggesting that fiscal 2014 AV may rise after five years of consecutive declines. SOUND FINANCIAL OPERATIONS The district's financial operations have performed well due to management's prudent cost-cutting initiatives during a challenged state revenue environment. The general fund produced a manageable $2.9 million deficit in fiscal 2012 following two years of surpluses. This resulted in a satisfactory unrestricted general fund balance of $10.3 million (11.3% of general fund expenditures and transfers out). The district's unrestricted financial cushion rises to a sound $18.3 million (20.2%) after consideration of non-general fund resources that could be used for any operational purpose. All general fund information is un-audited and provided by management because GAAP-compliant audits for community college districts do not include general fund-specific information. Management believes financial operations are performing significantly better than budgeted in fiscal 2013, and will result in a $700,000 to $1.7 million surplus. Management believes the budget will be structurally balanced in fiscal 2014, as well. The district's strong estimated results stem from management's pro-active approach to matching expenditures with declining state funding. Expenditures are well below their fiscal 2009 peak, reflecting significant cuts to the district's full-time equivalent student load, vacancies, early debt repayments, and productivity enhancements. Future financial performance likely will benefit from an improved state funding environment. The November voter approval of Proposition 30 resulted in a multi-year tax hike that prevented a substantial mid-year funding cut in fiscal 2013 and will boost Prop 98 revenues for some time. Further, the governor's budget proposes a moderate state funding increase in fiscal 2014 and the multi-year paydown of funding deferrals. These deferrals represent a major drain on liquidity, which the district has managed with external and internal borrowings. FINANCIAL VULNERABILITIES REMAIN Lingering vulnerabilities include the district's continued exposure to state funding, which tends to be volatile and hard to predict. The district has managed the revenue environment well to date by cutting expenses, but various stakeholders likely will be eager to restore services, wages, and other items cut during the recession. Fitch believes the district will need to take a measured approach to such restoration as revenues recover. Also, the district is exposed to the poorly funded CalSTRS pension system, as are all community colleges in the state. Fitch believes contribution rates may begin rising over the short term as the state begins to address the system's growing unfunded liability. SATISFACTORY DEBT PROFILE The district's net debt burden is moderate at $3,238 per capita, or 4% of AV. Amortization is average, with 58.3% of debt maturing over 10 years (the rate falls to a still moderate 48.1% when calculated using final accreted values). Carrying costs (debt, OPEB, and pension costs) are also moderate at about 17% of non-capital governmental expenditures. Capital needs are limited, and the district has not disclosed any plans for long-term debt issuances. As noted above, the district is exposed to poorly funded CalSTRS, which weakens its liability profile. The district has a sizeable OPEB liability that management has addressed in recent years by converting to a defined contribution plan for existing members and eliminating benefits for new employees. Further, the board has asked management to craft a plan to begin pre-funding its liability over a multi-year period. Additional information is available at www.fitchratings.com. The ratings above were solicited by, or on behalf of, the issuer, and therefore, Fitch has been compensated for the provision of the ratings. In addition to the sources of information identified in Fitch's Tax-Supported Rating Criteria, this action was additionally informed by information from Creditscope, S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price Index, Zillow.

Glenn Close to Return to Broadway in 'A Delicate Balance'
The three-time Tony winner will star with John Lithgow, Lindsay Duncan, Bob Balaban, Clare Higgins and Martha Plimpton in a revival of Edward Albee's 1966 drama.
Glenn Close will return to Broadway after a 20-year absence this fall, headlining a revival of Edward Albee's caustic dark comedy of existential fear and loss, A Delicate Balance.
Directed by Pam MacKinnon, who won a Tony Award last season for her staging of another Albee classic, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, the production will play an 18-week limited engagement. It begins previews on Oct. 20 at the Golden Theatre, with official opening set for Nov. 20.
Close heads an all-star cast as Agnes, with John Lithgow as her husband Tobias, Lindsay Duncan as Agnes' alcoholic sister Claire, Martha Plimpton as the daughter returning home after her fourth failed marriage, and Clare Higgins and Bob Balaban as the upper-middle-class couple's best friends.
Premiered on Broadway in 1966, A Delicate Balance won Albee the first of his three Pulitzer Prizes for Drama and is widely considered to be among the playwright's masterworks.
STORY: Michael Cera Sets Broadway Debut in 'This Is Our Youth'
The original production starred Jessica Tandy, Hume Cronyn and Marian Seldes. The play was last presented on Broadway in 1996, with Rosemary Harris, George Grizzard and Elaine Stritch, winning a Tony for best revival.
The cast of the upcoming revival has an impressive collection of Tonys among them. In addition to Close's three, for The Real Thing (1984), Death and the Maiden (1992) and Sunset Boulevard (1995), Lithgow has won two, for The Changing Room (1973) and Sweet Smell of Success (2002), while Duncan won in 2002 for Private Lives.
The production will be produced by Scott Rudin, who is currently represented on Broadway by the Tony-nominated revival of A Raisin in the Sun, starring Denzel Washington, and the long-running musical smash, The Book of Mormon.
Rudin also recently announced a Broadway production for the fall of Kenneth Lonergan's 1996 play This Is Our Youth, to star Michael Cera, Kieran Culkin and Tavi Gevinson, opening on Sept. 11.

Shanahan explained his thinking in going for it. If the defense held, the Redskins would regain possession with great field position. "I really believe it's a mindset of your team that you're not afraid to go for it," he said.
The problem is that the Redskins defense has broken down way more often than it has stood up. And when Carolina drove 98 yards for a touchdown before halftime, it was clear the Redskins ship is taking on water.
Now they have a week off to suffer this stench and to ponder their direction.
"Very disappointed right now, very emotional right now, just as everybody would be," Shanahan said. "You go back and look at who made mistakes and what we need to do as a staff to improve to make sure we eliminate some of those mistakes."

DearAuthor's doubts on self-published and POD novels
"Truthfully, when I see a book that is self published, either in e-book format or print format, I tend to believe it is simply not good enough for a publishing house and therefore not worth my time. This may be completely inaccurate and I might be missing out on great books, but with the enormous number of books available from NY and reputable ebook publishers, I can't think of a reason I would take a chance with my time and money on a book neither set of publishers wanted." – Jane at DearAuthor.com, who, in a related vein, also wonders about the economics of POD books. So, gang, what do you think?

Boondockers Restaurant was a Snohomish County favorite for decades, thanks to its classic burgers, fries, and milk shakes. So after buying the restaurant, the Bala family made sure to continue serving juicy burgers and old-fashioned ice-cream shakes while also giving the menu a new twist—a sidebar of carefully curated Indian and Pakistani fare.
Originally from India, the Bala family flavors favorite recipes with vibrant spices, yielding savory curries, kebabs, and samosas cooked to perfection. In addition to a full lunch and dinner menu, sweet and savory breakfast fare can be enjoyed with mimosas until 2 p.m., when the champagne flutes turn back into plastic sippy cups till the next morning.

Crowd-funded film 'Lucia' depended on the kindness of strangers
When filmmaker Pawan Kumar wrote an anguished blog post about not having enough money to make a movie, he didn't expect hundreds of strangers to lend him their savings, no questions asked.
Eighteen months after that post — called "Making Enemies" — went viral, Kumar's Kannada-language feature film "Lucia" opened in Indian cinemas.
Movie Review: The Lunchbox
(Any opinions expressed here are those of the author and not of Thomson Reuters) Even if Ritesh Batra's "The Lunchbox" had been a film with a weak script, wayward direction and too long to hold your attention, there would be still be a reason to watch the film — Irrfan Khan.
Movie Review: Phata Poster Nikhla Hero
(Any opinions expressed here are those of the author and not of Thomson Reuters)
Rajkumar Santoshi's "Phata Poster Nikhla Hero" unapologetically harks back to Bollywood of the 80s. The characters include the upright mother, the loyal son and the air-headed but charming leading lady. Don't forget the goofy humour, and the good vs evil fight.
As the protagonist Vishwas Rao (Shahid Kapur) tells a character at the end of the film: I have done everything by now – romanced the heroine, danced with the item girl, fought the villain, and helped the police. Santoshi certainly ticked all the boxes, and if he only knew where to stop, he might have ended up with a better-than-average film.
Movie Review: John Day
(Any opinions expressed here are those of the author and not of Thomson Reuters)
Ahishor Solomon's "John Day" is a thriller about a docile bank manager who seeks revenge after the actions of a corrupt cop and his accomplices leave the manager's life in tatters.
The film starts off intriguingly and in the first 15 minutes or so, Solomon sets up his story well.
Bollywood movie review: Shuddh Desi Romance
(Any opinions expressed here are those of the author and not of Thomson Reuters)
The hero of Maneesh Sharma's Shuddh Desi Romance is a confused young man. Raghu is never sure of what he wants. As a character in the film puts it, Raghu just flirts with himself.
Gayatri, on the other hand, knows exactly what she wants from life. She is an independent woman – and the man of the house – figuring out living expenses, insisting that her live-in boyfriend takes turns cooking and is unapologetic about having had relationships in the past.
Duniyadari trumps Bollywood star power for Marathi magic
While Bollywood film Chennai Express was steamrolling its way to success, another movie was on the fast train too, but not many people noticed.
Duniyadari (Worldliness), a Marathi-language film based on a novel by Suhas Shirwalkar and released in July, has gone on to become the highest grossing Marathi movie of all time.
Bollywood screenwriters are finally getting their due, sort of
Jaideep Sahni, the writer of blockbusters such as Bunty Aur Babli and Chak De! India, is getting top billing in promotions for his new project Shuddh Desi Romance, a rare honour for a screenwriter in Bollywood.
Sahni spoke to Reuters about the curse of film intermissions and the reason his movies have so many layers. Here are edited excerpts from the interview:
Bollywood movie review: Zanjeer
(Any opinions expressed here are those of the author and not of Thomson Reuters)
Everything is distorted in Apoorva Lakhia's Zanjeer (Shackles), a modern-day version of the iconic 1973 action-thriller of the same name that gave Amitabh Bachchan his aura of Bollywood's angry young man.
Inspector Vijay Khanna (played by Ram Charan) is not the brooding, intense young man of the original. The protagonist is now a sculpted statue that twists its face while expressing emotion.
Kids rule the roost as Bollywood woos audiences
(Any opinions expressed here are those of the author and not of Thomson Reuters)
Mumbai resident Gopal Das doesn't usually go to the movies. It's the children who drag him and his wife to the cinema to watch the latest Bollywood film.
Das's 8-year-old son Shubham insisted on watching Shah Rukh Khan's "Chennai Express" on his birthday this week. His teenage sister had recommended it.
A safe city no more: what went wrong in Mumbai
(Any opinions expressed here are those of the author and not of Thomson Reuters)
An increasingly globalized city that has grown indiscriminately, a metropolis where inequality festers, and an urban sprawl blind to the needs of the poor. Mumbai is where a twentysomething photojournalist was gang-raped by five men this month, shattering perceptions that it is India's safest city for women.
Sociologists and historians say this was not an isolated incident, and warn of more attacks. They cite a growing class divide and pockets of uneven growth as factors linked to crimes against women, who are often victims of socially sanctioned oppression.
