Professor Gizmo, a master criminal, devises a plan to use Spider-Man to attach an antenna to a sunken treasure ship, the El Conquistador, since only he can withstand the pressure at that depth. Peter, meanwhile, has been invited to a charity cruise on board Jameson's yacht. Gizmo attacks the yacht and demands that all the diamond donations be surrendered to him, using the old ship, the Monitor. Failing to draw out Spider-Man with the theft at sea, Gizmo then attempts to steal the Spirit of St. Louis from the Smithsonian Museum. This time, Spidey shows up save the plane, but is blamed for the subsequent theft of it.

Speed, limiting risk and protein quality are often cited as advantages of transient protein production (TPP), while stable transfection – the longer and more complex process – has the advantage of producing long-term expression of the biotherapeutic of interest. The rapidly increasing need for recombinant proteins necessitates further improvements in both technologies.
Cambridge Healthtech Institute's Fourth Annual Optimizing Expression Platforms conference convenes protein expression specialists who share their experiences of the differences, tradeoffs, and improvements in producing recombinant proteins in transient or stable production systems, and who investigate their advantages and disadvantages and when to use both.

"I loved the way the picture took up the whole card with cheerful overprinting of text. In combination with the animated expressions on my grandsons' faces, the text gave the perfect enthusiastic greeting."
"Really loved the easily personalized cards and the envelopes were good quality as well. My order arrived well before the promised date - an added bonus."
"-Layout worked well for our picture (elongated) -Customized the font type at the base of the photo with our family name -Used rounded corners, which added a really nice touch -Snowflake detail was sweet and did not overwhelm the picture -Felt quality was basically in line with the cards we also ordered from Minted. This was a good value for the price."
"Loved everything about this card. The rounded corners and soft colors made this year's holiday greeting feel even more special."
"I LOVED this card. We received so many compliments on it! The only fault I had with it is my own, I should have sent a better photo! I have been using Tinyprints for years and they NEVER disappoint!"

Never Again 10/15/2013
This review is from: WD Blue 1TB Desktop Hard Disk Drive - 7200 RPM SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache 3.5 Inch - WD10EZEX
Received it quickly ... been piecing together a build, thought I would give WD a try again (been 8 years since I owned a WD drive, hoped the problems were gone: silly me!).
Dead out of the box ... and to beat it all, there were tool marks on the top of the drive which made me suspicious before I even connected it to the motherboard.
Pretty darned sure I got a refurb for a new price. Wish writing "REFURBISHED" on the drive wouldn't keep me from getting a refund.
Other Thoughts:
Need a ZERO eggs option. One egg is one too many!

Design of an Optimum Filterbank for High Quality Subband Audio Coding
In this paper a filter bank for high quality subband audio coding is presented. The filter bank has no amplitude or phase distortion and is therefore 'exact reconstructing.' The quantization noise introduced into one subband is not dispersed over the whole frequency range.

I am a fairly recent widower, married for 27 years and am looking to join life again! I crave fun; boating, biking, barbeques and enjoying good times with friends and family, and getting out doing exciting and interesting things after this long-ass winter we have endured. The profile pics are from a year or so ago, and the rest are fairly current...within the last few years, as you can see not a tremendous amount of change other than facial hair, which by the way am strongly thinking of shaving off AGAIN! LOL
I aim to get back into swimming after a long hiatus (for multiple reasons) here's a link I found which I thought inspirational as an an "experienced swimmer/racer" I have been out of the game for too damn long and need to spin up at a reasonable pace.... Enjoy!
I'm pretty darn handy, from cars and bikes to homes and plumbing.... even got all the RIGHT tools to get the job done! I know how things work and if not can usually figure them out or come up with something better. I like mechanisms, flow patterns and some chemistry (a little bit anyway, can you say covalent bonds, I knew ya could) and have worked in the medical industry for most of my career.
I've been told I'm a good kisser.... which is easy as I like passionate kissing!
I'm good at massage, hot oil and stones.... I can melt your tensions away!
I have a knack for style and sensitivity to form, and yes I can work an art show or museum with the best of them! I'm good at fashion, color acute and know the where's and why's of proper dressing and can put an outfit together in a heart beat!
I LOVE food, all kinds but tend to drift towards seafood and shell fish! Love oysters.... yum! Not that freshwater fish isn't good Trout is one of the best foods on the face of the planet!
Bikes - Moto and pedal
a nice red, Jameson or even Prairie cucumber infused Vodka (but not all at once and not to extremes either).
Sushi (rolls mostly, dragon, crunchy, California etc)
A hearty French Roast coffee.... especially on cool mornings
The sun rise breaking across the morning sky and a full moon at night - Truly special events if you can appreciate them
Also the way our lives and society's have changed, we have replaced the elders, the seekers, and the shaman, with doctors of various flavors ready to rapturously dispense pills and medication to calm our nerves and sooth our desperation.... where is love, where is conviction, the true understanding and knowledge for the situation. Don't get me wrong here, I like science and technology, it's in my field and am comfortable with it and the development that it takes..... but the polarization bothers me. These kinds of things make me wonder.
OK the last link expired, hope this one works!

Both Arendt (1906 -- 1975) and Heidegger (1889 -- 1976) brought passion to thought and to their difficult personal relationship. Daniel Maier-Katin's book, "Stranger from Abroad" (2010) brings passion to bear in its own right as it describes Arendt's relationship with Heidegger and its impact on her life and thought. The book has a sense of its two primary characters, their works, and their times that is rare in a work of philosophy. Maier-Katin, a professor of criminology and criminal justice at Florida State University has with this study made his own contribution to the life of the mind.
Maier-Katin integrates personal lives, philosophical thinking, and history in this book. When Arendt met Heidegger, she was an impressionable, naive young woman of 18 listening to the famous philosopher, age 35, lecture on Plato's "Sophist." Married to an anti-semitic woman, Elfride, who had recently had her own affair, and with two young children, Heidegger and Arendt became romantically involved almost immediately. Heidegger soon became somewhat cold, and Arendt left the University at Fribourg to pursue studies elsewhere vowing never to love a man again.Read more ›
Since the publication by Reinhard May's HEIDEGGER'S HIDDEN SOURCES, it has become generally known that Heidegger was deeply influenced by Daoist and Buddhist texts and thinkers, and that in fact Heidegger directly incorporated--without attribution--sections of THE BOOK OF TEA into BEING AND TIME. It also seems clear that much of what seemed new to his students and readers in the 20th century, including to Arendt herself, was in fact Heidegger's adroit integration of East Asian concepts into his own work, which itself was founded on Greek philosophy.
Arendt almost certainly didn't know this. Moreover, the influence of East Asian thought on Heidegger is not mentioned by Maier-Katkin. So why bring it up in this review?
The reason to do so is because Arendt's own thinking seems to have been influenced by the East Asian elements imported into German philosophy by Heidegger, but because she was not consciously aware of it, she seems to have been headed towards a dead-end in her thinking towards the end of her life.
Arendt, instructed by Heidegger and informed by her own research, depicted reality as a present that seems tranquil and motionless but is in fact continuously slipping at great speed from the future into the past. The present moment cannot be slowed, much less stopped, and it is very elusive.Read more ›

I am nearing the end of six conferences/symposia/workshop/seminar trips in six weeks. At one of the meetings (Canadian Society for Ecology and Evolution), I learned I was one of only four people (including Doug Morris, Miriam Richards, and Andrew Simons) to have attended each and every one of the previous meetings (11 of them). Now that the four of us realize this, we are in an escalating arms race to one day be the only person to have that distinction. All of this meeting-going has given me plenty of opportunity to reflect on the value of conferences and how to get the most out of them. A perfect topic to add to my ongoing series of "How To" posts for young scientists.
|Stop 1. The Genomic Basis of Eco-Evolutionary Dynamics, Monte Verita, Switzerland.
A first major point is that attending conferences is extremely useful, and often fun, and you really should do so whenever opportunity and funds permit. One of the benefits is seeing the latest research, much of it unpublished, by researchers whose work you normally follow. More importantly, you often attend talks by people whose research you do not know, which is a great way to break out of your insular little clique of round-robin citations. Even more importantly, conferences are a great way to get new ideas, see new techniques, and find new research areas.
In reality, however, the above benefits could accrue from simply being very well read. By contrast, conferences provide one dramatic benefit – networking – that simply cannot be achieved by reading more literature. That is, the best thing you can do at a conference is simply to meet and talk to people, including old friends and colleagues, people whose work you follow but haven't met, new people you didn't know existed, and so on. Indeed, many of my most exciting and lasting collaborations have started through discussions at conferences.
|Stop 2. Leibniz Institute of Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fisheries, Berlin. Then I took a side trip to Sanssouci, where I think I spotted Darwin on this ornate clock.
How best to network?
Go out of your way to talk to people. If it is someone whose work you know, introduce yourself. If it is a person standing in line beside you whose work you don't know, introduce yourself. I have had many fascinating and influential conversations with people who were simply standing nearby. Of course, if the conversation isn't interesting or is awkward or flagging, you can excuse yourself to go to the bathroom or get a drink or whatever.
Present a talk or give a poster. Most people at a conference will not know you or your work. By giving a talk or a poster, you can give people a teaser that will lead them to seek you out. Of course, giving a talk has other major benefits that stem from building your public-speaking skills, which is a great aid to career advancement. Give talks early in your career and give them as frequently as possible thereafter.
Attend social events. These informal settings are the best places to strike up relaxed (or intense) conversations with people. A great opening line is always "so, what do you work on?"
In addition to networking, a few other tips can help you get the most out of a conference:
|Stop 3. Centre of Excellence in Eco- &Socio-Evolutionary Dynamics, Leuven, Belgium. (Here an earlier visit where I consider the co-evolution of beer and beer glasses.)
Ask questions in talks! Perhaps paradoxically, the goal of asking questions isn't to get information. Instead, most questions are intended to (and often do) reveal more about the questioner than they do about the speaker. As a result, asking questions is a great way to have other people be aware of you, which helps with networking. However, the main goal of asking questions is to make you think more critically about each talk. My buddy Mike Kinnison at one point challenged his students to try to ask one question in every talk they attended at a conference. Of course, that goal is probably impossible (and perhaps annoying to others) but a goal like that really changes the way you listen to a talk. Instead of passively recieving information, you begin an active internal dialog and assessment of what the person is saying and why. You pay much closer attention. You scrutinize each graph more carefully. You listen the specific words with more nuance. You seek holes and inconsistencies. All of this has the payoff of aiding and ingraining critical thinking – not just as an ability but as a goal. So, I would suggest writing down a single key question that you would ask for every talk you attend. Then try to ask them when you can.
Don't attend too many talks. Everyone gets burned out eventually at conferences. The easiest way to avoid burnout is to not try to fill up your schedule with talk after talk after talk. Instead, leave yourself breaks to hang out, talk to people, etc. Also, instead of moving from room to room in an attempt to assemble your own schedule of talks, simply sit all the way through some of the sessions – even if the talk titles don't seem especially relevant. I have seen many excellent talks simply by coincidence.
Don't be on your computer or phone. While tempting, being on your computer inevitably disconnects you from the speaker and what they are saying. Of course, having your computer out is sometimes necessary – in fact, I have my computer out at the conference I am currently attending, largely because the 5 previous conferences have gotten me so far behind that I will otherwise miss key deadlines.
|Stop 4. Joint Meeting of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists, New Orleans. Rich Lenski is everywhere it seems, even in the bathroom of a blues bar!
Which conferences should you attend?
Each of us usually has a conference that most closely matches our work, which we should therefore attend as often as possible. Sometimes this core conference can be two – one conceptual and one taxonomic. In addition, I highly recommend pseudo-random attendance at other meetings, which is an especially good way to get new ideas and meet new people. Most obviously, try to attend local meetings by societies that you would not normally be exposed to. And, not surprisingly, one can also pick conferences based on interesting locations.
|Stop 5. Canadian Society for Ecology and Evolution, St. John's, NFLD. With a side trip to Cape Race - seen above.
Writing this, I started to wonder about my own patterns of conference attendance over the last 20 years, which I was able to piece together, focusing only on major core meetings, into the table below. Several points were of interest to me. First, my core conference changed through time with my core research interests. I started out focusing on fishy meetings (AFS, EEF, ASIH). As I became increasing interested in evolution, my go-to meeting became SSE/ASN, along with a new taxon-focused stickleback meeting that happens every three years. Most recently, I have focused on the Canadian Society for Ecology and Evolution (CSEE), partly because I have become increasingly interested in the INTERACTIONS between ecology and evolution and partly because I live in Canada and want to see ecology and evolution thrive in that context. The more haphazard meetings include an eclectic mix of fish meetings (ICBF), evolution meetings (ESEB), ecology meetings (ESA), genetics meetings (AGA), conservation meetings (SCB, The Wildlife Society), and general science meetings (AAAS). These other meetings were chosen largely for location (either near home or somewhere exotic) and – more recently – because I have been asked to speak in a symposium. Looking back, I think I have gained a ton from these meetings, mostly – as noted at the outset – the network of friends and colleagues that it has facilitated.
Conferences cost an annoying amount of money. Fortunately, most conferences and departments have funds available for student travel. Also, you can make them lower priced by attending nearby meetings, carpooling, staying in university dorms, and skipping the banquet (which is never worth the price unless it has a great party afterward). Some of these choices can also help to reduce your carbon impact.
|Stop 6. Gordon Research Conference on Ocean Global Change Biology, Waterville, NH. With plenty of opportunities for great nearby hikes.

Meier: Valhalla prepped and ready to play

Big reason why the golf course is in great condition is our guest now, the golf course superintendent here. At Valhalla Golf Club, Roger Meier. And Roger, you've been here just about four years, you've seen this golf course , transition to this point to this week. Give it a rating, on a scale of one to ten, what's Valhalla right now? I think it's very good. And what we're hearing, early from some of the players that have been out there, the course is in great shape, so I'm very proud of my team, that's here working with me and, uh,certainly the seventy men and women that have come from all over the country to help us out, prep the golf course this week so. I'm gonna give it a high rating, give it a 10. You can't control weather, you can't control mother nature. We've have seen that in major championships in the past. But how everything has culminated to this point, how's the golf course ? The golf course is very good. It's we've had a very good year so far from a, a weather standpoint. We've had some moderate temperatures, some really unprecedented temperatures here in the transitions on the country, we've had some really cool nights. Down the 50's here the last couple weeks. So, weather's been very good. It's played to our favor, prepping the golf course for this week. And we're really excited about the overall condition. Now PGA championship and it's set up under the direction of the PG of America, different than of course than say a US open . What is your expectation for the golf course this week, how will it hold up against the best players of the world? I think that's gonna be a true test to golf, I mean it's something that, the PGA hasn't been here since 2000, 2000, so it's been 14 years and we've made a lot of changes to the golf course , so, it's gonna be, it's gonna be hard as hell. I think, there's certainly some opportunities out there for, for scoring, we're gonna see some birdies, probably some eagles, and. I think our championship director Kerry Haigh sets up the golf course for some exciting golf and wants to have them make some birdies and, and make it exciting for the viewers and the spectators that are, that are watching. Roger, you know this golf course better anyone else. You know every tree, every blade of grass. What hole, what hole out there that no one's really talkingeye on the doppler, so to speak. How do you see the golf course ultimately playing? We're hoping to get it firmed up. You know, we're, it's Tuesday, it's early in the week, so as we prep the golf course the new putty services, you know, historically from what we're seeing are drying down and we're watching them very closely. Our goal is certainly to firm the golf course up, we can't control the weather, we hope it stays dry if it stays dry you're going to see some firm fast

What she was saying is you've got to actually move that tee so much more forward in what she calls scoring tees, turning that 5,500- yard course into the 4,000-yard course within the framework of these championship golf courses .

It seems difficult to participate in CS here, but I'm going to try! I can go to Nagoya to take a walk on the weekend.
Even though I'm a beginner of CS, I feel like every time that I do CS, meet new people and talk to them, my horizons are getting broadening.
I like taking pictures and sometimes drawing, knowing how the people live around the world, learning other languages. Sometimes I also run, it's quite nice way to relax.

We've got spirit, yes we do…We've got Dwolla, how about you?
If only my parents and I would have had the convenience of Dwolla back when I was eating Salisbury steaks and chicken nuggets for lunch every day. It would have saved my parents countless headaches (and me from getting yelled at for losing their lunch money check) on a fairly regular basis.
Well children and parents of 2013 – have no fear! Dwolla could soon be accepted in your local school district.
School district BCLUW (Beaman, Conrad, Liscomb, Union, and Whitten) here in Iowa now allows parents, guardians, friends and relatives to easily make online payments to a child's lunch account by following the simple steps advertised on BCLUW's website.
The advantages of using Dwolla in this scenario:
- Convenience. No more having to write checks. One can now make a lunch payment from the convenience of their own home.
- Cost. It's completely free for the parents to add money into their child's lunch account, and it only costs the school $0.25 to receive it with payments $10 and under being completely free. In the end, this is going to save a school district a considerable amount of money compared to costly credit and debit card fees, or the work involved in accepting and processing checks.
- Safety. No more having to worry about a personal check getting from point A to point B, or getting lost on the playground. With Dwolla, all transactions are securely encrypted.
- Recurring payments. Schedule a recurring payment to be sent from your account to the school on a weekly, bimonthly, or monthly basis.
Whether you are reading this as a student, parent or school administrator, we applaud you for being innovative and thinking outside of the [lunch]box. If you think Dwolla would be a good fit for your school district, we invite you to take the next step and reach out to me at firstname.lastname@example.com or 1.888.289.8744 to discuss how you can get Dwolla accepted at your school.

Steven Weinberg: Why the Pentagon Failed to Prepare for Postwar IraqRoundup: Historians' Take
Though there always will be soldiers and sailors"seeking the bubble reputation, even in the cannon's mouth," it seems that the vainglory of individual commanders has lately become less dangerous in war, as improvements in the technology of communications and surveillance have increased the ability of commanders to control subordinates. But there is a continuing danger from an institutionalized vainglory. Sometimes a branch of the military may try to maximize its opportunity for glory, turning its back on other less glamorous tasks that are really needed....
Just as the Royal Navy preferred "hunting" to convoy duty in World War I, and the Allied air forces preferred strategic bombing to ground support in World War II, and the cavalry preferred independent action to the support of infantry in the Civil War, so in recent years the United States Army has preferred to plan for fighting battles without worrying about how to govern conquered territory. The Army in World War II had an effective Division of Military Government. It was established in the Office of the Provost Marshall in July 1942, long before there were any captured Axis territories to govern. It was this division and the personnel whom it trained at the Charlottesville School of Military Government that made it possible for the United States later to govern Japan and parts of Germany and Italy in an orderly way, without encountering widespread looting, rioting, or guerrilla attacks.
In the years after the war, responsibility for military government was relocated in the Civil Affairs branch of the Army. Support for this branch was allowed to dwindle, and Civil Affairs survived several attempts to disband it as a separate unit, until in 1987 it finally found a home in the Special Operations Command. There it had to fight off attempts to divert its remaining funds and personnel slots to Special Forces. At the end of the 1980s, an Army-commissioned report, in a chapter called "Pruning Non-Essentials," asked the questions "Should 7,000 reservists continue to be trained to govern occupied nations? Is there a need for those trained in the administration of art, archives, and monuments to preserve the culture of occupied territories?"[3] Civil Affairs became known as a dead end for career officers.
There is now just one active-duty Civil Affairs unit, the 96th Civil Affairs Battalion (Airborne), headquartered at Fort Bragg; the remaining 95 percent of Civil Affairs personnel are reservists. In Afghanistan there are now only about two hundred Civil Affairs personnel, as compared with about 15,000 military government soldiers in the American Zone of Germany soon after the German surrender in World War II. A colonel (not in Civil Affairs) who is just back from Iraq tells me that there are about two thousand Civil Affairs officers there (not all in military government), leaving few anywhere else, and that although they are doing good work, there are not nearly enough of them. Unfortunately the Defense Department's priorities do not seem to have changed. Later this year it plans to close the ten-year-old Peacekeeping Institute of the Army War College

Great morale booster for the British people, with another World War looming. Shows the bonding between British and Indians that contributed to the long sojourn of the British in India. Definitely a boy's film with all the majesty that the Empire films of the thirties could muster for audiences suffering from economic depression and worries over the rise of fascism and its onward march. Roger Livesey's character brings to life the type of relationship that so many British civilians and civil servants enjoyed with Indians, so sadly ignored/forgotten in the interest of history revision and political correctness.
A wicked Khan plans to use THE DRUM perched high up in his palace walls
to signal the massacre of British soldiers invited to a banquet.
Sir Alexander Korda's London Films was responsible for this lively Technicolor action film which boasted outdoor scenes shot near the North-West Frontier with the assistance of the Mehtar of Chitral. It blends excitement, humor & history - definitely from a British viewpoint - into an attractive package sure to entertain the viewer lucky enough to find it.
Indian actor Sabu stars as the young Prince of Tokot who finds his life suddenly become very dangerous when he's forced to flee his usurping uncle and accept protection from the British Raj. Plummy-voiced Roger Livesey plays the Raj's stalwart envoy to Tokot who must find a way to stop the import of weapons to the evil new Khan, Raymond Massey, who is fomenting a rebellion. All three actors play their parts very well, with Massey especially attacking his villainous role with gusto.
Also in the cast are Valerie Hobson as Livesey's courageous wife; David Tree as a junior officer; and corpulent Francis L. Sullivan as the local Governor in Peshawar. Alfred Goddard appears unbilled as the hapless private Kelly.
Born Sabu Dastagir in 1924, Sabu was employed in the Maharaja of Mysore's stables when he was discovered by Korda's company and set before the cameras. His first four films (ELEPHANT BOY-1937, THE DRUM-1938, THE THIEF OF BAGDAD-1940, JUNGLE BOOK-1942) were his best and he found himself working out of Hollywood when they were completed. After distinguished military service in World War II he resumed his film career, but he became endlessly confined for years playing ethnic roles in undistinguished minor films, BLACK NARCISSUS (1947) being the one great exception. His final movie, Walt Disney's A TIGER WALKS (1964) was an improvement, but it was too late. Sabu had died of a heart attack in late 1963, only 39 years of age.
Unabashedly pro-Raj, the story of a young Indian Prince and his friendship with some British army types. The release of this film was reported to have sparked anti-British riots in India. Sabu outdoes himself as the spunky and, ultimately, obsequious Prince who lines up with his friend/occupiers to battle the deliciously evil Raymond Massey. Very politically incorrect by today's standards the film is a good adventure yarn as well as a Korda tribute to the the rapidly vanishing British Empire. The plot borrows elements from the real life killing of Sir Louis Cavagnari and his party years earlier in Afghanistan. In reality British and colonial forces were actively engaged in military operations in Waziristan at the time of the making of the film.
From 'Kim' to 'Carry On up the Khyber', from the famous to the infamous
(stand up, Harry Flashman!), the North-West Frontier has proved a
fertile source of conflict both fictional and historical... and deposed
rulers and fiery mullahs have figured largely from that day to this.
The plot of 'The Drum' cribs heavily (and at one point openly, with an
impudently-inserted piece of dialogue listing the historical parallels
that had been niggling at me!) from real-life events, especially in
Afghanistan, and as other stories before and since have been based on
the same material, this can result in a certain 'seen-it-all-before'
sensation. But the winning element in this film is the touch of
humanity and humour which helps the characters to become more than
cardboard templates, from the drummer-boy and his misfortunes to the
wry jests of the newly-appointed British representative walking
open-eyed into a trap. Not to mention that, after a spate of films with
seemingly pointless titles, I found it obscurely satisfying to
encounter one where the eponymous instrument is actually significant
both to the plot and its climax!
The always-excellent Sabu steals the film, as ever, in his role first as a self-possessed princeling and then as a fugitive in exile from his throne; the romantic leads, while well-performed, are less memorable. The tension in the banquet scene is tangible, and Raymond Massey as the usurper brings brains as well as menace to his role. The one element that rather shocked me -- with the exception of the inadvertent glimpse of buttock that reveals exactly what Scotsmen do or don't wear under their kilts! -- was the scene in which the said usurper is shot down by our wounded hero in cold blood, having thrown down his weapon. It's not customary for such an act to be depicted in an apparently approving manner; and certainly not in a film of this period...
I must admit that the question of the period itself had me slightly puzzled, although the mention of syncopation in the drum part for the dance should have given me a clue. I had automatically assumed the story to be set in nineteenth-century India in the heyday of the Raj rather than the contemporary world, and with few European civilian fashions on display, there was nothing to disabuse me of this until the heroine made an appearance in jodhpurs, which came as something of a shock! (And the subconscious resonance with the valleys of 'Carry On up the Khyber' turns out to be based in fact: locations from both were shot in Wales...)
But 'The Drum' is a rousing adventure as they used to make 'em, in the tradition of 'Charge of the Light Brigade' or 'Northwest Frontier'; if you like the genre, this one is a cracker.
Fun little movie that depicts the British and Indians living in some sort of Utopia together, with an evil villain (Raymond Massey, hamming it up with a vengeance) planning to slaughter the British troops at a banquet. It's up to his prince nephew, Sabu--the greatest of all child actors--to stop him. Definitely politically incorrect (although not outright racist), but with a lot of heart and humor. The humor disappears at the end in place of heavy suspense, and it's all wrapped up with a rousing, drawn-out battle scene. Hey, any movie with Scottish highlanders singing around a campfire is worth watching if you ask me. And it's in Technicolor to boot. 7/10.
Exactly what you would expect from the era in which it was produced and given the man behind its production. A rip-roaring adventure yarn which attempts to convince its audience it is set in (then-)modern times, (with radio transmitters strapped onto to pack mules and attempts to slip in 'contemporary' songs, (of which more below)), but whose heart is really in the 1890s or thereabouts, extolling the virtues of British rule of the Raj, the comradeship formed across races by jointly facing adversity and evil plotters aiming to overthrow British rule - all wrapped up in a Kiplingnesque atmosphere and with LOTS of bagpipe music, highland dancing and marching ranks of soldiers. The acting/screen presence of Sabu and Roger Livesey are very good and commanding, as is also the case with Raymond Massey, (always watchable in any case), as the scheming 'baddie'. Val Hobson appears suitably 'fragant' and stiff-lipped in the lead female role, BUT whoever was responsible for the idea of getting her to mime to the 'contemporary' love song inserted in one of the dinner party scenes should certainly have been handed over to the insurgents for a VERY slow and agonising end! Conclusion: switch off the PC monitor, go back seventy years and just go with the flow of an entertainment movie which will zip by rapidly and leave you feeling you have spent 90 minutes in a care-free manner, (especially if you can hit the mute button when 'that song' comes on!)
The film location is always shown as India but in fact part of the film was shot in the snowdonia range of mountains, in a place called Cwm Bychan lake,llanbeder in the county of Gwynedd. My Father was an extra on this film and I noticed that no mention has ever been made that part of the filming was actually done in North Wales
The British are trying to make peace treaties with numerous tribes in India to make sure there isn't an uprising among rebel tribes. Captain Carruthers makes a treaty with the prince, but when the prince's brother (Prince Ghul) murders the prince, he now has the tribes just where he wants him (in a spot to annihilate the British). The murdered prince's son (Prince Azul) reaches Carruthers and tells him of what happened, so Carruthers takes a troop to Ghul's fortress. Ghul welcomes Carruthers with a ceremony of a 5 day feast, but when the feast is over Ghul plans to kill all the British troops with their smuggled machine guns, unless Azim can lead a British battalion to Tokot to stop Ghul's mad plan. Despite being politically incorrect with the British superiority over the people of India, the film does contain a fair amount of action and thrills to entertain the film going audience, granted it is no Gunga Din or Four Feathers (the latter of which and this film share the same author). Massey oozes evil as Ghul, and their is decent support with Sabu, youthful as ever as Azim, Massey as the stuffed shirt Carruthers, and Hobson as his wife. The score is decent, but not that rousing and shooting in color limited the best chances to use lighting. Rating, 7.
The Drum is a great British Empire movie in the tradition of Four Feathers (the Korda version) and Gunga Din. Anyone who gets a thrill from the skirl of bagpipes and a last minute charge to the rescue will be delighted by this film.
In colonial India, the natives live happily and peacefully under the kind
rule of their British masters. Representing the bond between the two
nations, young Prince Azim befriends several of the British officers.
However his uncle Ghul is less welcoming of the British and has dark plans
to slaughter them and raise a rebellion among the tribes of the
Some critics have pointed to the fact that, if this film were made today, it work spark outrage and be roundly condemned. This view ignores that, when the film was first screened in India in the late 30's, it sparked riots among the populace. However, the statement is true as well as being null and void, for there is zero danger of this film ever being made now! The plot is very pro-Empire and it is brazenly flag waving for the British. Looking back now, the film is laughable in it's depiction of it's characters. The British are kind and loving to all the Indians they encounter, while the Indians love them in return; those that don't are, of course, shifty and untrustworthy.
This is rather insulting if you think about it too much - I must admit I wasn't offended but then I am neither English or Indian and know little of the history that is clearly being twisted here in favour of propaganda. The film does have a nice vein of good humour to it though that prevents it being too heavy, while the battle scenes are of the `up'n'over' school of filming. The plot itself is too simplistic and can't keep the charade up - especially now that it will be clear to most viewers that it isn't a fair telling.
The cast are good, but again, there's no way that an `Indian' film would be shot today in Wales with the majority of the cast in blackface! The standout actor is Sabu. True his character is a little too good to be true but he has cheeky attitude and he is good fun throughout - just a shame his character seem to vanish for about a quarter of the film. The villainous Massey is also good fun and I enjoyed his performance. The British (namely Livesey and Hobson) are very stiff, although they do get the more heroic roles towards the end.
Overall this film is worth seeing as we will hopefully not see quite it's like again. The film is un-PC in casting, script, plot and characters, while the history it claims to tell is nothing more than a flag waving exercise that rightly started angry riots in Indian when it was shown there. However it is worth seeing for the period, the glorious (for the time) Technicolor and an amusing and fun performance from Sabu.

Modern Chess Openings, 14 Edition
Nick De Firmian, "Modern Chess Openings, 14 Edition"
Crown | 1999 | ISBN: 0812930835 | 752 pages | File type: PDF | 17,1 mb
Well begun is half done.
In chess, how you begin a game has far-reaching repercussions-from setting the pace and tone of the game to, often, determining the final result. On the 64-square battlefield, the first few maneuvers are the most important ones of all.
When preparing for the battle about to unfold, a five-star general has a cadre of strategists and consultants. You have Modern Chess Openings. Popularly known as MCO, this is the most current and comprehensive one-volume reference book about the chess openings on the market. Whether you are a beginner interested in learning the fundamentals, an intermediate player ready to elevate your game to the next level, or an International Grandmaster who wants to stay on top of all the recent chess innovations, MCO is the book you need.
Modern Chess Openings has been the best and most trusted tool in learning the chess openings since it was first published over a half-century ago. This, the fourteenth edition of MCO, has been completely revised and updated by three-time United States Chess Champion Nick de Firmian to reflect all of the latest changes and innovations in the game. By taking into account all recent tournament matches and published theoretical works of note, MCO-14 leaps to the forefront of the field-just as its predecessors have always done.
From eternal workhorses such as the Ruy Lopez, an opening that was developed in the fifteenth century, to relative upstarts such as the Neo-Grünfeld, first seen in 1937, Modern Chess Openings covers every viable opening sequence of chess moves in today's environment.
This new edition, completely revised and updated by International Grandmaster Nick de Firmian, includes dozens of variations-from classic to modern-on the standard openings. The section on the Sicilian Defense looks at the Accelerated Dragon Variation, the Paulsen Variation, the Richter-Rauzer Attack, and many more. In all, 234 different sequences of opening moves are analyzed in the Sicilian Defense chapter alone.
Plus, throughout MCO-14, the openings are supplemented by rich, detailed annotations. Reference is made to notable tournament matches which began with the opening in question. Comments are made on the relative strength or weakness of the board position after the opening has been employed. And suggestions are offered recommending the best follow-up moves.
If you want to learn the chess openings-ALL the chess openings-MCO-14 is the only book you need to have.
