Without Land project
Collateral project of the Architecture Biennale 2016, "Without Land" portrays the current epic migration through the placement of a metaphoric haven on San Servolo island: a bench and a globe-shaped air balloon floating over it; for a planet without borders where the only identity is the human one.
Alberto Fol, Executive Chef at The Westin Europa & Regina, and one of the promoting artists of "Without Land", has created a menu which speaks of origins and paths, and is a message in a bottle which carries with it a promise for the future.

recommend this hotel
After reading so many great reviews about this hotel, I wish I could write one as well.
The location of the hotel is very convenient.
Check-in was smooth. We were offered the SPG Gold amenities and even got an "upgraded" room. It was large with a tunnel view of the canal.
The room was hot. We figured the room had not been occupied for a couple of days since we found an anniversary cake on the table with a note dated two days before my arrival.
I made sure the air was on and left for the city. Upon returning, the room was still hot. Reception was called and after 30 minutes, someone showed up. He tampered with the thermostat, said he was leaving and would come back. He never did. At 3:00 am we woke up due to the heat. Next morning the AC was reported again. I requested a change of room but was told the AC would be fixed during the day. On the second day, the room was still hot. I complained again and someone came at 9pm to check the AC. The room did cool down after that.
We also found several Conceirge to be just unfriendly....just doing their job.
Check out was very slow. There was only one person at the desk and it took him 20 minutes with the previous guest in front of me. I was incorrectly charge for the room. I tried to explain to no avail. Since we needed to catch the transportation to the airport, I said I would just deal with it when I got home. Thankfully,another gentleman came and understood the error and corrected the invoice.
Little thing like this can deter from what could have been a wonderful experience.

Comments Thread For: Schaefer: Hopkins vs. Cleverly is a Good Possibility
WBO light heavyweight champion Nathan Cleverly is in line for a big-money showdown with Bernard Hopkins on March 9th at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
"There is a good possibility Bernard could fight Nathan," Hopkins' promoter, Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer, told BBC Sport. "I've had some very interesting conversations with Nathan's promoter Frank Warren and Bernard is open to that possibility.

This fight may happen next year but I don't see how it can happen in March.
Cleverly has to fight his mandatory. Only a unification can supercede him fighting his mandatory next.
Hopkins at present doesn't hold a strap.
I think Hopkins should take on one if the other champ while Cleverly fights his mandatory setting up a unification for later in the year.

Plus, really, does this fight sell right now.
Cleverly needs more US exposure first, he's still very unknown in the States and the TV networks turned down Cleverly Shumenov as he's unknown.
Cleverly needs another US fight against a well known opponent first to build his profile Stateside.
A unfication against Shumenov then Hopkins.
Hopkins in the meantime should face Cloud as he is also American the best known and the fight that at the moment generates the most interest.

Make it happen.
Clev sees Hopkins as an old man ripe for the taking.
Hopkins probably sees Clev as an inexperienced, no good green-teef and the most beatable champ.

Vermont passes bill to decriminalize up to ounce of pot possessionMay 13,2013By PETER HIRSCHFELD
Vermont Press Bureau
MONTPELIER – More than a decade after lawmakers here began pushing for the reform of cannabis laws, the Vermont Legislature has given final approval to a bill that will decriminalize possession of up to an ounce of marijuana.
The House on Monday cast the final vote for a decriminalization bill that now heads to the desk of Gov. Peter Shumlin. The second-term Democrat championed the measure in both his election campaigns, and lauded the Legislature's work this year.
"I applaud the Legislature's action to decriminalize the possession of small amounts of marijuana. Vermonters support sensible drug policies," Shumlin said in a written statement.
While Vermonters aren't customarily being sentenced to long jail terms for small-time marijuana offenses, the crime does sometimes result in incarceration.
According to statistics provided by the Vermont Center for Justice Research, of the 5,716 people convicted of misdemeanor marijuana possession between 2008 and 2012, 472 were sentenced to jail time. Nearly 400 landed on probation, and 1,248 had to pay a fine. The data do not distinguish between cases that were standalone offenses and those that were part of a package of charges.
Shumlin said the reforms will allow "our courts and law enforcement to focus their limited resources more effectively to fight highly addictive opiates such as heroin and prescription drugs that are tearing apart families and communities."
First-time misdemeanor possession offenses currently carry a maximum sentence of six months in jail. The new law would replace criminal sanctions with a $300 fine; the legislation also decriminalizes possession of up to five grams of hasish.
Decriminalization proponents said the effects of misdemeanor possession conviction can have severe consequences even in instances when the punishment is only a small fine. Younger offenders have found themselves unable to qualify for federal student loans and other government benefits as a result of their criminal record.

Compared to most of my other compression shorts the material is thinner and even more non-absorbant. Best suited for hotter weather. Some of the stitching has already come undone on one pair at the waist after a few uses. They don't fit as well as I would like, the crotch seems to sit a little low. Not bad for $10, but you get what you pay for here, I give it an average rating.
I love these shorts so much I bought five pair. While I would like the material to be slightly heavier, these do the trick and will likely be a bit cooler than heavier weight material. Benefits:
Keeps "everything" in place
Keeps your thighs from chaffing
Provides a bit of warmth and support in the upper thigh and hips. Overall, great product
Great value in these light-weight compression shorts. Started using them 6 months ago for marathon training and had great races including two marathons last year. Happy the way they have held up through repeated wear and laundering. You can pay twice as much and you won't get any more value. I have a 35" waist and use the size L.
My husband loves these. They are just a little longer on the leg than others he has purchased and he likes that. A great product and you can't bet the price! Highly recommend it!!
I ordered these shorts a size higher for comfort. And good thing I did, they were still a tight fit. After a week of jogging, the rear end seams started to unravel. They're poorly made. And for the low price, I couldn't bother with the headache of returning them. There are no Walmart's in SF and I'd probably spend more in gas driving to a Walmart just to return a $10 item :)
I'm female, size 6-8, and I bought size small in the GRAY color six months ago. I wear them 4 times a week and have washed and dried them 20 times (no fabric softener, no dryer sheets). They fit better than my UnderArmour and other expensive compression shorts! They wick sweat away like mad, and the wide waistband prevents rolling when I stoop down and jump up during vigorous exercise. These are the best shorts I have ever owned...in fact I'm online buying 3 more right after I post this. I'm sticking with the gray color, since the black color had stitching problems (see other reviews).
I just bought them the other day and i love them great for basketball and football. Or any sport really. Vey confertable. I would recomend these to all of my friends.
have been incontent since prostrate cancer and have found these to be very helpful in holding pads up.Can not find underwear to hold on to my body as tight as these do."Starter" should advertise these as"For Cancer Patients". Underwear with 15 per cent Spandex are hard to find.
WALMART should have all their stores keep these in stock.
I've been wearing jockey shorts for several years, but Wal-Mart ran out of them. In looking on line I saw these compression shorts and in doing some online research, thought I try out one pair. For the price, their worth every penny. They took less than 10 seconds to become comfortable with them and their fit was exactly what I need in the comfort zone. They give me great movement and keep everything in place. No more chaffing! Although I miss the obvious opening in the front, they are worth it. Went back and bought 5 pairs more.
I bought 2 pair of these, one black and one grey. After 4-6 washings, the grey's are ok, but the blacks are coming unraveled at seams. Another review said same thing. BUT, they are a good fit, do the job fine, and are at lest 1/2 price of others I have found. Until changes are made, don't expect much out of the black one, but they grey ones are fine, probably ok on the whites. I would not recomend the blacks right now. I will order the other ones again soon.
I play 5 baseball games a week, sometimes 6, and I like to wear compression shorts under my uniform. I only had a few pair and needed more in order to not do laundry 3 times a week but did not want to spend $25-30 on brands like Nike and Under Armour like my other pairs. I ordered 4 of these shorts and an really impressed with them. They are snug and fit great and the quality is just as good at more expensive brands. I definitely recommend these to anyone.
These compression shorts are really perfect for all uses. For $10- they can't be beat. That is at least 75% less then you would pay for Nike or Under Armour. They fit well and do the job. I have been wearing them since February for working out and recently decided to make them my everyday boxer brief. They provide great security and support for all activities. I highly suggest them. They wash well too.
My husband is a college basketball referee and I searched to replace his compression shorts. But on line they cost any where from $25 and up. We're on a budget so to find them at $9.99 a pair was amazing. Plus they are the Starter brand. For basically the price of one or maybe two of the other brands I was able to buy 4. They fit well. Wash great. Thanks WalMart!
Wore these shorts twice and after the first time bottom of the legs came unstiched and are fraying. After second use groin area is coming unstitched now as well. Would've been better off saving my money and buying underarmor ones or a brand that won't fall apart after two uses. Worse part can't find contact info for Starter to let them know about the problem.
I was kind of sketchy in buying this brand because I bought the compression pants and after two washes the seams were becoming undone. However, these shorts have not giving me that problem and I have washed them three times now. These are great for when I go cross country running and give really good support.
Great wicking underwear. I wear them hiking, camping and motorcycle riding. No chaffing, great support, oustanding job wicking moisture. Quick drying also. Cost one third of those name-brand performance under wear. I would have given it full five stars, but not quite as "silky" as those $30 pairs.
I wrote a review on the Starter Compression shirts and this is just an addition as I wear both compression shirts and shorts from Starter. Excellent quality for the price (10 bucks!) If you get 1 year out of these you have already come out ahead!
my boyfriend wears these everyday to work in construction. he loves them, he says the only difference is this material is slightly thinner. you can pay twice as much for the same product-or just get these.
I have UnderArmour, Nike, Reebook and other top name brand compression shorts. But for the money, these Starter compression shorts are nearly as good at only one-third the price. Highly recommended.
great for the price. They fit perfectly and are comfortable all around. these are my first pair of any compression shorts and i love them

I bought this because it has the lights indicating when to change filters. Great feature. Only gripe - slant of water prefilter reservoir means it often spills over when moving it after filling at sink.
I have filters on my faucets at home, so I use this bottle mostly for travel... even just around town. I LOVE it! Have used these bottles for about 4 years. The only reason I have ever needed to replace it is because of silly me losing it! (Brita, make some sort of carrying strap for it!) Like some others have mentioned, I sometimes have trouble with it leaking, but have found that is usually because the lid isn't seated properly (Brita needs to make that a little easier!). If going thru airport security, be SURE it is completely empty, or they will tell you that you have to throw it away! I love that it saves me from buying water once I'm in the airport... I can just fill it at a water fountain! I have NEVER had any problems with the mold some reviewers have mentioned. Like any utensil, it should be washed regularly! If I ever DID notice any mold, I would clean it with bleach! I also love that it eliminates plastic bottles from stockpiling in the environment!
I bought the Brita water bottle because I wanted to be able to reduce the amount of recycling I send to the depot each month. The filter on this bottle is small, and doesn't yield enough water for my preferences. I usually drink about a half gallon of water throughout the day.
The top of the bottle cracked after about a month, and each time I tilt the bottle upwards to drink, I get a dribble of water down the front of my clothing, so I look like I don't know how to manage drinking.
Also, I carry the bottle everywhere with me, and it's not easy to drink while driving, since I have to tilt the bottle upwards, which takes my attention off the road....
The bottle 'whistles' when I draw a drink and I ALWAYS have to squeeze the bottle to get a drink of water from the bottle, which seems to encourage more leakage.
I'm at the end of my last package of filters, so this bottle is going in the recycling bin! sorry, Brita, you just couldn't cut it for me.
We used a Pur pitcher, but finding the replacement filters became harder & harder. We decided to switch to Brita, mainly because finding the filters was easy, they were in every store. I actually keep a thin 3 gallon container in my fridge, it's long & goes front to back on the top shelf, but is very thin, so only uses about 2-3 inches of space on the side. I use the brita pitcher to filter our water then pour into the fridge container to keep fresh, cold, filtered water easily on hand with a tap dispenser to pour right out. I have to fill up our Brita maybe 3-5 times to completely fill our fridge container, which will last almost a week. I really like the design of our brita, the colors are great, it's very easy to use as well. The only issue I have is the filter change system doesn't seem to work, I actually exchanged the pitcher 2 different times, for a total of 3 pitchers before I just gave up. So I'm not sure if its a design flaw or if we just have really bad luck. But all in all it's a great little pitcher, & in the future ill look at the Brita line first.
I have tried other filter-bottles before, but this is, by far, the best. Though, at first, I thought the cap leaked, it turned out that I had not aligned the filter in the cap quite right (so far, so good since then). The water tastes just like the water from a Brita pitcher filter. The bottle is also easy to drink from, easy to hold, made of nice-feeling (not rubberized/coated) flexible plastic, and is - visually - aesthetically pleasing.
My only wishes are for the protective cap for the mouth piece to be attached (I am always afraid of dropping/losing it), and for there to be a light weight sleeve and shoulder strap available to purchase for it (generic sleeves do fit, but they are so bulky/"insulated" that they are impractical most of the time).
I have owned this bottle for less than a month and have used it, very happily, almost every day.
Thank you, Brita, for designing such a wonderful water bottle.
Love this bottle. I see others saying that it leaks, but I've never had one of mine leak. I live in semi-rural Texas, and our tap water tastes disgusting. I mean that it tastes bad enough to the point of making me feel nauseous when I drink it. I received this bottle as a gift, and was amazed. I am now free to drink tap water anywhere I go. This bottle neutralizes the horrible flavors and leaves a pleasant mineral taste. The water can be a bit slow to squeeze out sometimes, but anyone who's used a water filter knows that it's not an instant process. Another bonus with this bottle is that replacement filters are readily available in stores. It also makes a great gift if you live somewhere with foul tasting tap water. Please be aware that this is a filter and not a purifier. It's strictly for improving the taste of water that is already safe to drink. It will not remove harmful microbes.
Poor design.
Poor material choice.
Why is there no gasket to prevent leakage? I understand the attempt to have a radial seal like the ones in the tops of .5L water bottles, but this design fails. A more rigid material is needed for a proper seal. The bottle is designed to be squeezed, and pressure is created, but even with thicker thread/seal area, the features are not rigid enough. There are a host of materials that are flexible at thin wall thickness and have the rigidity to create the necessary seal. Polyehtylene is not a good choice. Polyethylene phthalate is an obvious choice. User error is not an issue. I know how to install a lid and tighten it. After tightening the lid securely, the bottle will still leak after being tight for a while. Water tastes great - when im not wearing it. Please forward to your Product Development team / Design Engineers. - Mike

I like the product a lot.
I use it every day now.
The problem I have with the bottle is the top design. To open the bottle drinking orifice you must either open it with your dirty fingers or your teeth (assuming you have enough to do so). Now I know we don't always have dirty fingers, but we can't go washing them every time we want to drink hygienically. The bottle is a marvelous concept but why bother about clean water from a dirty nozzle. You could have anything on your hands at the time you need a drink therefore transferring those germs to your lips..UGHH.
The bottle should have a screw on cap with a valve like on the ketchup bottles where it takes a small amount of pressure to make it flow.
I still think it's a great product even though I have to wipe the nozzle a lot.I'd give it an 8 out of 10.
When I seen this bottle I was super excited to get my hands on one. I am a WATER-holic, typically I drink about 1-2 liters a day. I work in an office where my boss only buys 16 oz water bottles and I usually buy my own 1.5 litters. However, I always feel bad for contributing to the overload of water bottles in our landfills (we do recycle but that just doesn't ease my mind). Thanks Brita for this new option! Great tasting water wherever I go! Couple of down falls; one make a BIGGER size! I fill this one up multiple times a day, and run out too quickly. Second, the cap makes it so difficult to drink out of. The harder I struggle to get a good healthy gulp of H20 the more it splatters everywhere. An open top design (like a traditional water bottle) would be ideal. Other than that, I am getting good use out of what I have. Look forward to future versions. :)
I drink between 8 & 10 bottles of water each day. This is easy to do at home, but when I'm at work or out and about with my busy family carrying that much water is a problem. I have tried packing enough water for each day and have tried just taking a case of water to my classroom each week. Packing the water in each day led to either being weighed down daily or running out of water to drink. Taking in a case of water had its own problems including being in the way or by the end of the week I was back to the daily carry. This bottle allows me to have GREAT tasting water right from the faucet at school. It is so convenienet because I simply take the one bottle with me every where I go and keep refilling it. The downside is I must replace the filter every few weeks to meet the every 20 gallons change instead every two months. Still SO WORTH IT!!
I love water. I prefer it cold with ice but that's about as high maintenance as I get about my water. I hear it's a good idea to filter your water so I thought I would try out the Brita bottle filter since I can take it to go. I gotta say though, I cannot tell the difference between tap water unfiltered and tap water filtered. I guess the big test will be using at work with the drinking fountains that probably come out of pipes that haven't been cleaned or replaced in god knows how many years.. makes you wonder if they even test the water where you work.
My only complaint about the bottle itself is the plastic cap doesn't seem to twist on nicely with the grey rubbery thing that goes between the bottle and the cap. Doesn't make it easy to re-fill without having to keep re-checking that its put back together correctly so it won't leak.
I live in an old trailer in a sub par trailer park in central Florida. The water is heavily treated to prevant microbial growth which makes it taste like pool water. Also, the build up in my pipes gives it a metallic after-taste. Now, we do have a pitcher that we use, but with four kids in the house it seems to always be empty when i'm thirsty. With this bottle i can get the same great tasting water in the amount of time it takes to turn on the faucet! No more waiting for the pitcher to fill up! I havent had any of the problems with leaking that other reviewers have had. As long as i have the lid and the filter top on corectly, it wont leak. The only thing that im not thrilled with is that if i leave it in the fridge the plastic gets hard to squeze. It's a great everyday bottle and i've been able to drink more water when i want it!!
I first saw these bottles in a magazine and I knew that I had to have one. I purchased my first two-pack of these bottles a few months ago. I instantly fell in love. I bragged about the bottle so much that a few of my coworkers purchased their own. I eventually gave one away. My only complaint is the snap cap nipple protector thingy is easy to lose. I did not push down on it hard enough. So I lost it. I am a complete germaphobe. This bottle would be perfect if they could somehow attach the clear cap nipple protector thingy. So i decided to buy another single bottle. Unfortunately, when I went to the store, all of the single bottles were missing the filters along with the clear caps. A thief had removed them all. :-( So I decided to buy another two-pack. I am still in love with my bottle. Thanks Brita!
Since I bought the Brita bottle it has saved so many plastic bottles. The bottle is great as you don't have to carry anything else but that bottle. I bought one, then bought one for my daughter and her girlfriend. I own a construction business and bought them for my employees. Results my kid and her friend drink more water and have cut down there surgery drinks by 80%, my employees are saving $5.00-$6.00 a day not buying 1 gallon jugs of water. The savings are great and the water is so much better for you. The Brita bottle, easy, convenient, great savings and now I have more than ten people using the bottle. Way cool. for me and my employees we can fill up any where, there's all ways somewhere to fill up on a job site and the kids carry there bottles every where. The water taste great.
I absolutely love this filter bottle idea. It is great for myself and my kids. I throw one into my purse or diaper bag and it's always accessible. It's great for the gym, as it has an easy squeeze body. I do have one issue, that doesn't effect my thoughts on the whole concept. But, I wish that there was replace pop tops. My bottle and its filtering system is all in great working condition, but my kids have chewed up the top. And, its pulled a little further than it should be, so you get air sometimes when you're drinking.
I don't want to have to buy a whole new bottle when all I need is the top. And then what do I do with my old bottle if I have to get rid of it?... Garbage? If you have an idea of what I should to, please comment.
BUT!!!! Remember, I LOVE THIS BOTTLE otherwise
I purchased this water bottle because i thought it would be a convenient way for me to get more water in while sitting at my desk at work. However, I do not recommend this filtering water bottle. The filter is inside the bottle, and you have to lean your head back and squeeze the bottle hard to get the water to pass through the filter. What ends up happening is you swallow half water and half air bubbles, which is neither refreshing nor good for your digestive system (i.e., I end up burping all day at work!). I came to the Brita website to see if there was some sort of money back guarantee, and ended up creating a log in just so I could add this review. (you are not allowed to review unless you give Brita your email address or private information from your facebook account.)
Picked up the Soft Squeze bottles for my family (which includes two tweens) and will have to say we're very pleased with being able to fill up the bottles from almost any water source and knowing the water is safe and tastes great. Only complaint we have is that the plastic cap protector is hard to take off, even for adults, and the inconvenience of having to watch that you don't lose it is a burden that I would prefer to not to deal with. Why can't there be a cap that is attached to the underneath of the filter twist on cap similar to how the handle is attached. Eventually we'll lose the cap and the popup that we drink from is forever exposed to dust, dirt (when bike riding), etc. Possibly consider it as an optional add on purchase. Thanks
I never leave home without my Brita soft squeeze bottle. I love how convenient it is to use! I've definitely been drinking more water since I purchased it 3-4 months ago. I am a college student, so I like how buying Brita products saves me money since I am no longer purchasing bottled water. The bottle filter causes the water to come out very slowly, and it also makes a lot of noise. So instead, I prefer to use a Brita pitcher to fill up my bottle, which is especially nice because my water is already cold from being in the fridge (in my opinion, the water tastes funny with ice in the bottle). I have not had the mold or smell problems mentioned by other reviewers, but I have noticed that my bottle has started to leak when I take a drink out of it. I'm not sure if it's coming through the cap, or if the rubber on the loop is wearing out. I have washed mine in the dishwasher a few times, so I may buy a new one and see if handwashing will help it to last longer. I only gave this product 3 stars because I am disappointed that I have to buy a new one this soon, and it's really embarrassing when I spill water all over myself every time I take a drink. I agree that it would be nice if Brita offered replacement parts for all of their products.
I've had this pitcher for a year and just couldn't live without it.
It should filter more chlorine taste & odor and it would be nice if it filtered fluoride too.

Even with the uniformly good performances — and the standout work from Ms. Green — 300: Rise of an Empire is foremost a triumph of production design, costumes, brilliantly choreographed battle sequences and stunning CGI.
Rise of an Empire might have been essentially more of the same, but for one distinction that makes it 300 times better than its predecessor: Mere mortals of Athens, Sparta, and every city from Mumbai to Minneapolis, behold the magnificent Eva Green, and tremble!
The lack of a creative driver behind the film leads to a level of fundamental dissatisfaction. The movie delivers all the necessary elements but their impact is dull.
Other than for the pleasure of watching Green try to conquer ancient Greece dressed as a distant forebearer of Catwoman, more is less and a little late in this long-aborning sequel.
The best thing about the new 300: Rise of an Empire is that Zack Snyder didn't direct it. And the worst thing about it is that Zack Snyder didn't direct it.
By throwing herself headfirst into scenes that a more cautious actress might beg off, Green earns herself a citation for valour – a Purple Heart in a movie that's otherwise way too grim and grey for its own good.

The fight scenes are fierce, bloody and gripping, I absolutely loved them. Eva Green is both sexy and dangerous, and the film's visceral sex scene is the culmination of those qualities. The soundtrack is quite fitting and memorable, and Black Sabbath's War Pigs during the end credits really make you go out the cinema hall in style. The dialogues are sometimes too primitive and the speeches about Freedom™ and Democracy™ are boring, but those downsides are outweighed by the movie's strengths in my opinion.

Apr 6, 2016Classical historians disagree, but it was probably Herodotus who first posed a question that would ring out across the ages, unanswered tillClassical historians disagree, but it was probably Herodotus who first posed a question that would ring out across the ages, unanswered till now: Wouldn't Eva Green look awesome kissing the severed head of an insolent captive? "300: Rise of an Empire" puts the issue to rest (the answer: yes, but it'll never last) and strives to uphold the rah-rah style of visuals and rhetoric established by its popular predecessor, "300."
Greece — or its tightly rendered, color-constrained graphic equivalent — is again in danger, but the battles in this contemporary sequel center on the sea. Free city-states are mustering a defense against the Persian invaders and their myriad ships, under ever-darkening prospects (and skies).
Unlike the death-cult Spartans, led to war in the earlier film by Gerard Butler in a performance that unleashed a thousand meme variations, this motley crew of slightly less chiseled Greeks follows the less inspiring, or, at any rate, less shouty, Themistokles (Sullivan Stapleton of "Gangster Squad" and the TV show "Strike Back").
The hacking and impalement of ancient combat still yield gore that defies gravity and invites our delectation in the obligatory money-shot slow-motion. But the bigger mortal threat to manliness lies in the Persians' vicious naval commander, Artemisia (Ms. Green), impossibly willowy and virtually dripping black, like an Aubrey Beardsley drawing.
A Greek who suffered horrifically at the hands of warring countrymen, she's revealed as the éminence grise behind Xerxes (swaggeringly reprised by Rodrigo Santoro), though Ms. Green sometimes suggests cruel hauteur more often than she puts it across. Meanwhile, the Persian emperor's origin story — his transformation into a bejeweled, manscaped god-king — is revealed, in a process evoking a brisk dip in molten gold.
The naval collisions and melees play out in panel-like renderings that are bold and satisfying for the first half-hour but lack the momentum and bombastic je ne sais quoi of "300." Someone was also apparently worried that the film's depth of field wouldn't come across, judging from the ubiquitous particles suspended in the air, as if some unseen Greek had just dusted. (The director, Noam Murro, who has primarily specialized in commercials, took over from Zack Snyder this time. Mr. Snyder wrote the screenplay with Kurt Johnstad from Frank Miller's graphic novel "Xerxes.")
Strategically speaking, the Greeks' underdog maneuvers work, until they don't, while the Persians are unstoppable, until they aren't. Themistokles supplies a politician's skeptical perspective on the Spartans, while a brave father-son duo serve to personalize the notion of self-sacrifice with regular check-ins.
It might also be added that the film arrives at a somewhat different, less freshly besieged era than "300," released in 2007. But the political climate might matter less than the over-the-top example of faux period excess provided by several seasons of "Game of Thrones."
That show's bedroom maneuvers might have influenced a pivotal scene in which the long, rivalrous gazes across the sea between Themistokles and Artemisia lead to their finally getting a room. In the telling aftermath, the ruthless Persian commander is more or less recast as a woman scorned, ultimately leaving Greece, and everyone's machismo, mostly intact.… Expand

Foul, racist American propagandaI read a lot of the other comments and I'll borrow the highlights that matched how I feel most closely.
Foul, racist American propaganda painting the great and enlightened Persian empire as a bunch of savages. The "suicide bomber" was particularly sickening. Spot on with this comment. This is an example of a film that should never make it past the drawing board. (another pretty close feeling to what I had watching it). Ugh! Down right awful! (short but to the point). If they changed eva green's character to a male character and tweaked the story i mean a lot it would have a shot. (this is closest though to how I really felt). In what world are people stupid enough to watch these chicks lead armies fighting with the men. At on point the queen raises a sword, and all it's missing is her screaming VAGINA POWER!! with like a rainbow or something, that's the only way I could have thought to make this movie any worse and honestly it may have made me laugh so that could have even been an improvement. The only thing I'll take away from this movie other then my head hung low, will be to know that if I ever lead a country that's a huge world power with 10's of thousands of ships maybe I shouldn't let an 80 pound slave ship slut have complete control of them. It a strange situation to be at the end of a movie hoping that the guy beats the girls azz in moral combat.

Modern functional programming languages and lazy functional techniques are useful for describing and implementing abstract mathematical objects in quantum mechanics. Scientists can use them both for pedagogical purposes and for real, not too computationally intensive, but conceptually and algorithmically difficult applications. This article shows how to perform simple abstract computations on state vectors and discusses the construction of lazy algorithms that enormously simplify manipulation of potentially infinite data structures or iterative processes. Lazy functional techniques can often replace the use of symbolic computer algebra packages, while also offering an interesting algorithmic complement to the manipulation of mathematical data. These techniques are more efficient than blindly used symbolic algebra and are easy to integrate with the numerical code

Posted on 08/06/2007 8:47:29 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet
With his clenched fists, wild eyes and gnashing teeth he has become the face of Muslim fury, protesting against the enemies of Islam. Shakeel Ahmad Bhat has been on the frontline of political activism in Srinagar, India, for more than a decade. His constant presence, captured by photographers and beamed across the world, has caught the imagination of rightwing bloggers who have dubbed him Islamic Rage Boy and turned him into an internet phenomenon.
Typing his nickname into a search engine yields more than 75,000 results. He has inspired a cartoon character and merchandise.
But the 30-year-old Kashmiri activist is puzzled, not angered, by his overseas fame. In his first interview with a British newspaper, he says he is carrying out Allah's wishes.
From his home in Fateh Kadal, Malik Angan, he says: "I am not happy with people joking about me or making me into a cartoon, but I have more important things to think about. My protests are for those Muslims who cannot go out onto the streets to cry out against injustice. This is my duty and I believe Allah has decided this for me."
Mr Bhat, a school dropout and former militant with a pro-Pakistan rebel group, has been arrested more than 300 times.

MONK HONEY get in here Muslum rage boy don't like you LOL!
Arrested 300 times I rest my case.
Angry, violent muslims? Never seen 'em and never heard of 'em. /s
You can't make this sh*t up.
You might love this article. Apparently, Islamic Rage Boy - a big favorite of FReepers and Photoshoppers worldwide, is upset with the way his image is being portrayed in the West. He wants to focus on more "useful things tough like fighting for Muslims." LMAO
Is that his "NJ rest area pose"?
Al Pinga to Islamic Rage Boy special edition
"My protests are for those Muslims who cannot go out onto the streets to cry out against injustice."
And who might they be?
Do they know how ridiculous they seem to us?
Lol, that's great Martin!!
Empty cans make the most noise.
Looter guy, John Kerry, Islamic rage baby seal, and Teddy K's Cadillac.
That picture has it all.
4 favorite FReeper pics in 1 photo - Rage Boy, Looter Guy, Swimmer, and Jon Cary...LOL
Ugly ass 3rd century throwback . What the hell is that "thing" doing in modern times? What are they ALWAYS sooooo mad about anyway ? I don't get it . They live in sh*thole countries whose leaders rape the country they rule. Why be angry at me ?
FReeper humor at its finest! Thanks to everyone. BUMP-TO-THE-TOP! LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL!
And who might they be?
Not these protesters!
Boy that sums up exactly what makes him so funny.
"Tina's here! We're getting back together!"
He shouldn't even be on the internet, he should be getting killed by Ghengis Khan or a mastodon or something.
HI Monk I expect you to show up soon that cuteee poor monkey having his body being photshop on that guy LOL!

And who might they be?
Well, the ones in Tehran and Damascus for starters.
How cuteeeeee Dead that cuteee showing Looter guy his bad side and smack around Muslum rage boy LOL!
OK...now I'm about to wet myself....
Damn I thought Philly Eagles fans are bad Met fans take the cake LOL!
Excellent...best one so far?
Classic thread BUMP! (again) LOL!
That pic would be cool if rage boy was chomping on an all pork hot dog!
Good point. I've become conditioned to thinking of 'injustice' as a liberal codeword for something that really has nothing to do with justice.
Oh Gosh, ROFL. Thank you.
This guy is as bug eyed and open mouthed as the Hildabeast.
Btw, LOL!

Most Helpful Customer Reviews on Amazon.com (beta)
The book describes various skills of controlling the audience's attention, among other topics. You can learn how to recognize (in)visible signs of a breakdown of attention of your audience, to `read' the body language of people in your tour groups, and to generally win more attention while guiding. You'll find here how to pick up signals as to how you are coming across, retrieve the situation if somebody is resistant, choose the right words to get results in any situation, and more.
The text of this book is written in a charming way with a lot of examples from everyday life, given in special 'boxes'. Each chapter is followed by a small test, so the reader can check out his understanding of the subject. Even though you might think of yourself as a persuasive professional, there is always enough space for further improvements. James Borg's book is here to help you in that direction, and not only in your professional milieu.
This review refers to the paperback edition, published in October 2004. At the moment, it is available from Amazon.co.uk
While I have a working knowledge of developmental psychology, psycholinguistics and team communication, but this book is about something much more specific. It is about the art of making business relations, of engaging another business person in dialogue, mainly with the purpose of selling a product or service.
As business and love are amazingly similar in their principles, it doesn't surprise that the techniques here presented and elaborated also profit the private sphere and intimate and family relations. The author gives several examples showing that when companies trained their staff in various aspects of business communication, there was an immediate positive impact also upon the family lives of these employees, namely an improvement of the intra-familiar communication, both in the couple and between parents and children.
The book is systematic, well-researched and amusing to read. It shines by its pragmatic and down-to-earth approach, which is perhaps why it appeals to such a large audience.
In addition, the author has a light and witty tone that is very useful when you consider the formalism of psycholinguistics, a science that is rather tedious to study. To be honest, this book is full of real-life examples and anecdotes that make the richness of the texture, and show the author's large experience in the field of building and maintaining relationships, business and private.
The art of listening is really a center point in this book, perhaps the most important single issue discussed in it.
The next central point of the study is memory and how to improve memory. In my research on human genius, I found that people of genius are generally outstanding in the techniques of mnemonics. So let us ask what is the use of a memory in business relations?
I think it serves more than one purpose. It is important to quickly recapitulate and present facts to back one's claims or point of view with facts. In addition, it is necessary to remember dealings you made previously with a particular person or business. In job interviews, it is often necessary to shine with facts and details from your previous employment. But most of all, as James Borg explains, we need to memorize names and faces, and as a second step, then, to associate those names with the faces. This is essential for contact making, both in the formal and the informal setting, at business meetings and during company outings, parties and excursions when teams meet other teams for the purpose to later collaborate more closely.
Another intriguing topic of the book is how to make effective phone calls, and how to use a sort of telepathy or intuition to correctly second guess how one 'comes over' to the other in the various stages of a business conversation, and how the other might be distracted in various ways to 'receive' one's message, which then imperatively requires the change of tactics.
Before the author discusses the various personality types, he gives substantial advice on how to deal with what we might call 'difficult' people—while we should be well aware that this is a judgment that the person herself will contest in most cases. I would like to caution the reader here as from this point in the book, I felt I was more in contradiction with the author than before, and this for three fundamental reasons. First, I believe that judging is generally wrong; second, we most of the time have no valid reasons for our judgments, which are more often than not based upon appearances; and third, I am convinced that psychiatric ideas of 'personality types' are just another mental drawer that does basic injustice to the human nature that is too complex too be drawn out in lines and circles. I would go as far as saying that the very attempt to 'categorize' human beings is a basic error, while I do admit that we all have personal or transpersonal behavior patterns.
So what we are talking about is behavior, not people or personalities, it's patterns, and those patterns can be changed as they are not carved in stone, and when they are used as judgments about people, we are on the wrong track altogether to ever negotiate peacefully and respectfully with people. We are just all too different to allow us saying we were fitting in certain mental or psychological drawers.
This being said, while some of the ideas the author may be useful, I do generally not think that even if we have all the psychological knowledge needed about different types of persons, in real life we do not apply this knowledge, but act more or less intuitively.
* Empathy
* Listening
* Body Language
* Memory
* Which Words to Use
* Telephone Skills
* Negotiating
* Dealing with Difficult People
* Dealing with Different types of Personalities
This is the only book I've ever seen where the author claims that people pay maximum attention in the **middle** of a presentation, and least attention at the beginning and the end.
The rest of the content is of a similar quality.
2. If you are a newcomer to presentation skills:
Based on numerous studies of such things as "primacy and recency" (what was said first, and what was said most recently), it is generally acknowledged that people tend to pay most attention at the beginning of a standard presentation, nearly as much at the end, and least in the middle.
According to this book, however, and with no hint of an explanation or supporting evidence, the exact opposite is true.
The rest of the content is of a similar quality.
It is possible, of course, that I have misunderstood the author's intended message - in which case I guess that simply demonstrates that the explanations in the book are even worse than I thought they are.
In a more general sense, this book serves as a good starting point for more thorough reading on topics addressed in this book.
I recommend this as a primer for those interested in the art of persuasion. It should serve as a good reference base for learning about this important topic.
