LOS ANGELES, Calif., Aug. 14, 2015 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- A Los Angeles County Superior Court jury this month handed Hennessy Industries, Inc. as successor to AMMCO Tools, Inc., its first-ever loss in an asbestos-exposure lawsuit despite the defendant company's self-assurances that the grieving family of an Army veteran and automotive parts store owner who died of mesothelioma had no chance of winning, victorious plaintiffs' law firm Weitz & Luxenberg, P.C., today announced.
"The verdict against AMMCO and Hennessy represents the first time the companies have been held liable for an asbestos-exposure injury or death," said first-chair trial attorney Mark D. Bratt, who, with second-chair attorney Peter Beirne, led the Weitz & Luxenberg trial team.
The Aug. 3 jury decision in the Chatsworth-area courtroom of the Hon. Randy Rhodes capped a three-week trial in which the family blamed AMMCO and Hennessy for the store owner's death in 2012, Weitz & Luxenberg said.
The husband and father was stricken with mesothelioma after years of inhaling asbestos dust spewed into the air while he machined asbestos-containing brake shoes in a corner of his shop, the firm said.
AMMCO is the Hennessy-owned manufacturer of the brake grinders he used in performing that work, according to the firm.
No Escape From Asbestos Liability:
Bratt and Beirne said they presented compelling evidence that AMMCO knew its brake grinder posed a grave health hazard yet advertised it as safe.
"AMMCO started manufacturing brake grinders in 1950," said Bratt. "These grinders employed a rudimentary, reusable porous cloth dust bag which had to be manually emptied by workers. In its advertisements from that era, AMMCO claimed this bag prevented 'bothersome and dangerous flying dusts.'"
However, in 1973, AMMCO tests showed workers were being exposed to millions of asbestos fibers despite the dust bag system, and so the company designed a new dust-collector system, Bratt explained.
In patent applications obtained by Weitz & Luxenberg, AMMCO described and acknowledged design defects in the original containment system, admitting it created "a definite health hazard", Bratt said.
"AMMCO never even tested its original dust bag system with regard to asbestos exposure and safety, so the company had no factual basis for its advertising claim," Bratt added. "Nonetheless, AMMCO was aware prior to 1950 when it introduced the product that asbestos was dangerous. And despite all that, AMMCO continued to sell the original porous cloth bag as a replacement product until at least 1983."
Worse, said Bratt, "AMMCO never contacted grinder owners to warn them of the dangers of using the old dust-collector system, never issued a recall of the grinders, never offered to retrofit them with the new dust-collection system, never put a warning on the replacement dust bags it continued to sell, nothing."
Mesothelioma Death a Bitter Loss to Family:
Bratt said the wife and two surviving sons of the auto parts store owner were devastated by his death from mesothelioma, an extraordinarily aggressive form of cancer.
"He was a loving husband who every morning would pick a fresh grapefruit from their yard for his wife's breakfast," Bratt said. "They were high-school sweethearts back in their native South Dakota. They got married not long after he completed his service in the Army more than 50 years ago, and then moved to the Los Angeles area. They were best friends, loved to travel, and enjoyed a simple life together."
The man's exposure to asbestos dust began in the early 1960s while he was working with AMMCO brake grinders in various Southern California automotive supply houses where he learned the trade, Bratt said.
In 1971, the man opened his own auto parts store and outfitted it with an AMMCO brake grinder. He operated it often, said Bratt.
The jury found the defendants liable for, among other things, negligence and strict products liability, Weitz & Luxenberg reported.
"Importantly, this verdict proves that a company cannot design a product which necessarily creates a hazard when used with another product and escape responsibility," Bratt offered.
"This verdict also reaffirms that there are basic steps a responsible company must take before putting a product onto the market," he continued, "such as performing research, conducting tests, designing and engineering products appropriately, and avoid making baseless claims about safety. In short, companies cannot put profits ahead of people."

Meet The "12 Years A Slave" Actress No One Knows, But Everyone Will Be Talking About
Kenyan native Lupita Nyong'o makes her stunning feature film debut in director Steve McQueen's highly acclaimed chronicle of American slavery. How she got to this point is itself a Hollywood-friendly tale that is equal parts perseverance and great good fortune.
There are so many great actors teeming within 12 Years a Slave that singling out just one of them almost feels selfish. To start, Chiwetel Ejiofor (Salt, American Gangster) gives the performance of his career as Solomon Northup, a free black man living in New York in the mid-19th century who was kidnapped into slavery and wrote the titular memoir that served as the basis for the film. Michael Fassbender (Prometheus, Shame), meanwhile, is also winning raves for playing the dangerously cruel plantation owner Edwin Epps who ends up as Solomon's master and tormentor. And then there's Sarah Paulson, Paul Giamatti, Benedict Cumberbatch, Paul Dano, Alfre Woodard, Garret Dillahunt, Michael Kenneth Williams, and Brad Pitt, all stunning actors with fabulous résumés, contributing superlative performances under the direction of Steve McQueen (Shame, Hunger) from a screenplay by John Ridley (Red Tails).
There is one actor, however, who you have not heard of before this film, and who you will almost certainly be talking about after you see it. And her name is Lupita Nyong'o.
She plays Patsey, another slave on Epps' plantation, who endures the worst kind of scrutiny from both Epps, who is obsessed with her, and his wife (played by Paulson), who detests her. It would be an enormously demanding role for any actress. But for Nyong'o, it not only marks her feature film debut, it's also a role the Kenyan native landed three weeks before graduating from the Yale School of Drama last year, and one that could earn her a trip to the Dolby Theatre for the Academy Awards next March.
Not bad for someone who has wanted to act "from when I was an itty bitty girl," as she puts it while settled comfortably on a hotel suite couch. How Nyong'o was able to make her childhood dream a reality is itself a Hollywood-friendly tale that is equal parts perseverance and great good fortune.
The first step was even believing she could actually be a professional actress in the first place. "When I was growing up [in Kenya], there wasn't much of an entertainment industry," she says. "Entertainers were not financially stable, and always had to do other things to make ends meet." Then there's the sheer fact that there aren't that many African women in movies at all. "The first time that it occurred to me that I could maybe make a career out of [acting] was when I watched The Color Purple," Nyong'o says. "I saw people that looked like me on camera. I was like, 'Wow! Maybe I can be like that!'"
Like many budding actors, she corralled her classmates to perform in plays with her, but when Nyong'o left Kenya to go to Hampshire College in the U.S., she only pursued film studies, as well as African studies, rather than acting itself. She worked as a production assistant on 2005's The Constant Gardener, which shot in part in Kenya, and she did score a part in a Kenyan miniseries called Sugar. But that dream of acting in major feature films like The Color Purple began tugging hard at her heart. "I was going through a career crisis of 'What's my life about?'" she says. "I realized that I would really, truly regret it if I never tried to be an actor professionally. So I decided I would apply to the best schools I knew of in the U.S., which is a country that I'd come to know and love. I got into Yale. And I never looked back."
Within her immediate family, Nyong'o says her dream was met with nothing but support. "My father used to be an actor in school — so he lives vicariously through me," she says. "My parents always taught us to do the thing we felt we were called to do on this Earth, and just do it to pursue it with spirit of excellence, you know?" Her actual given name, Eba, is after her great-grandmother, "who was known for her storytelling."
But without any real role models of major Kenyan movie stars to point to, everyone outside of her family was less than supportive of Nyong'o flying off to America to try her hand at acting. "I know some of it stems from love, but there was a lot of doubt," she says. "I was definitely encouraged to keep the acting as an extracurricular activity, as a hobby, rather than the main focus."
And then came 12 Years a Slave.
Nyong'o tried out three times to play Patsey, each time performing two of the character's most emotionally intense roles in the film. For every audition, Nyong'o had to figure out how to step into scenes of profound emotional vulnerability in stark, anonymous audition rooms with bad lighting and overeager air conditioners. So she leaned on an acting maxim she picked up somewhere: "An audition is about getting the dart on the board, not hitting the bull's-eye," she says. "Obviously, you don't have the kind of time to sit with a character and be marinated by the character. So you just go with what you know, until that point, and hope that that's what they're looking for."
And it was. Still, at first, Nyong'o truly couldn't believe she had won the role. "To get this was incredible," she says before taking a deep, long breath. "I honestly could not believe that I had booked a job, and I spent the weeks before going up to Louisiana preparing for the role, but also being certain that I would get fired before I got there. I was just certain. I was just like, They made a mistake! They're going to call me up and say, 'Oh, sorry, we called the wrong person.'"
Fassbender and McQueen apparently sensed how overwhelmed Nyong'o was feeling. "I remember in my first rehearsal with Michael, he said to me after the rehearsal, 'You are my peer,'" Nyong'o remembers as her eyes begin to well up. She puts her hand to her chest, and her voice drops to a whisper. "And Steve said to me, 'Thank you for being born.' Oh, god, I'm even going to cry now."
Just when it seems like things are starting to get too heavy, Nyong'o breaks into a wide smile and laughs at herself, the kind of easy, generous, infectious laugh that comes as a relief after watching her harrowing work in 12 Years a Slave.
Still, it is difficult not to wonder at least a little how anyone could be functional enough to work again at all after enacting a role that could be so emotionally shredding. But Nyong'o was able to approach Patsey with a kind of pragmatic grace one wishes were much more common in Hollywood, proving she won't have too much trouble in the future (and fortunately, her next role is much less intense — she plays a flight attendant alongside Downton Abbey's Michelle Dockery in the Liam Neeson airline thriller Non-Stop, due out in February 2014). "It was very hard, but it was so necessary," she says of playing Patsey. "I recognize that I have the privilege of stepping in and out of it. Patsey didn't. This was her life. And the fact that this was real I think is what made it so much more possible. I'm not drawing from abstractions. I'm drawing from hard facts. So that was very grounding for me. It's like, if Patsey could have lived this, surely you can do it for a few hours a day."
Nyong'o chuckles nervously. She is the type of person who can speak with genuine wonder about having her own trailer — "I remember walking in and I was like, 'Oh wow, there's a cot there. Oh there's a fridge. My god there's a TV!'" Even when she shares that she suffered from insomnia while shooting, Nyong'o cannot help but interpret that experience through the best possible lens. "The insomnia was a combination of grappling with the pain that I was conjuring," she says, "and the joy of doing it with such an incredible group of people who are just as inspired, challenged, and committed to telling this story."

Original-language cinemas
Verdi HD
The five-screen Verdi and Verdi Park, its four-screen annexe on the next street, have transformed this corner of Gràcia with a diverse programme of independent, mainly European and Asian cinema. At peak times, chaos reigns; arrive early and make sure you don't confuse the line to enter for the line to buy tickets.
Renoir Floridablanca
Renoir-Floridablanca screens up to eight independent, offbeat American, British and Spanish films in original version per day, though note that programming tends towards the worthy.
Cinemes Maldà
In its latest incarnation, the well-loved Cinema Maldà is now showing indie and arthouse films. Cinema in original version with subtitles.
Filmoteca de Catalunya
The government-funded Filmoteca is a little dry for some tastes, offering comprehensive seasons of cinema's more recondite auteurs alongside better-known classics. Overlapping cycles last two or three weeks, with each film screened at least twice at different times. Books of 10 and 50 tickets bring down the price per film to a negligible amount. The 'Filmo' also runs an excellent library of film-related books, videos and magazines.
Yelmo Cines Icaria
This vast multiplex has all the atmosphere of the near-empty mall that surrounds it. But what it lacks in charm, it makes up for in choice, with 15 screens offering blockbusters plus mainstream foreign and Spanish releases. Weekends are seat-specific, so queues tend to be slow-moving; it's worth booking your seat online before you go.
The Phenomena cinema, which holds 415 film fans and has one of the biggest screens in all of Catalonia, boasts a latest-generation 4k projector, as well as 35 mm and 70 mm projectors as well as the best sound systems, including DTS, SDDS and the multidimensional Dolby Atmos. The cinema project, led by Nacho Cerdà, carries the philosophy that has characterized the Phenomena Experience screenings for the last four years: a programme that features cycles dedicated to big-name directors, kids' sessions, Grindhouse, re-releases, films that were before never released in Barcelona, the legendary double feature, and other surprises. It's a varied programme where you can enjoy classics of the silver screen as well as contemporary films that will show in dubbed versions and in their original language with Spanish subtitles.
Multicines Balmes
This cinema has 12 screens (two in 3-D) and specialises in commercial films in their original language with subtitles.
Verdi Park HD
The five-screen Verdi and Verdi Park, its four-screen annexe on the next street, have transformed this corner of Gràcia with a diverse programme of independent, mainly European and Asian cinema. At peak times, chaos reigns; arrive early and make sure you don't confuse the line to enter for the line to buy tickets.
Cinemes Texas
This cinema in Gràcia has four screens and shows a variety of films. The big draw for the locals is the subtitles are in Catalan. The big draw for everyone else is the films are in their original language, and some Catalan films even have English subtitles. And everyone is happy about the low price of €2 or €3. This is likely due to the films showing here slightly later than their premiere release date.
Cinemes Méliès
This small, two-screen cinema is the nearest that Barcelona comes to an arthouse theatre, with an idiosyncratic roster of accessible classics alongside more recent films that aren't quite commercial enough for general release. This is the place to bone up on your Wilder, Antonioni, Hitchcock and others, with up to eight films per week.

Department stores have rules for a reason.
She's in the wrong, she should take her stuff and get out. It's not the employee's fault, he didn't schedule a sale, he didn't tell her to buy something, didn't make her lose the receipt, and there are policies and rules and if you bend them or break them you can get in trouble which can include a write up, a written warning, a demotion, or being fired. All cause the center of the universe can't understand she's not actually the center of anything.
I work in retail. You wouldn't believe what some people do.

Laura Rozen gets the scoop that Chas Freeman, the president of the Saudi-funded Middle East Policy Council, is in line to become chairman of President Obama's National Intelligence Council. Freeman is well-known for his hostility toward Israel, but what's more substantively troubling about this report is the obvious inappropriateness of hiring a well-known advocate for the interests of Middle Eastern autocracies to produce national intelligence estimates for the Obama Administration. It would be inappropriate to appoint an official of AIPAC to run the National Intelligence Council (though it must be said that AIPAC doesn't receive any funding from the Israeli government) and it seems inappropriate to give the job to a Saudi sympathizer as well.

Workplace wellness programs may soon include money-management skills
ORLANDO, Fla. -- A majority of HR professionals describe the financial health of their employees as no better than fair, with young adults experiencing the most financial stress, the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) reported today in a new survey.
According to
SHRM's Employee Financial Stress Survey, employees' financial circumstances may be affecting absenteeism. Almost two-fifths of respondents said that employees have missed work in the past 12 months because of a financial emergency.
"The results could signal that financial issues are a growing challenge for employees in many workplaces," said Evren Esen, director of SHRM's survey programs. "Anxiety related to finances could be an increasing source of employee stress that has a direct impact on health care costs, absence and productivity. As a result, money management strategies — including budgeting and investing — may increasingly be considered as a part of workplace stress management and wellness initiatives."
A majority of HR respondents (70 percent) described their employees as being somewhat financially literate, the survey said. And 17 percent said their employees were not at all financially literate.
Overall, 61 percent of respondents describe the financial situation of their employees as no better than fair. Organizations with a larger percentage of hourly employees were more likely to say that their employees' overall financial health was fair and rate their employees as not at all financially literate.
Retirement planning (81 percent of organizations) and financial literacy training for investing (42 percent) were the most common types of services offered to employees. Nineteen percent of organizations offer employees loan products from a third-party provider, and 18 percent of organizations offer payroll advances. Almost three-quarters of the respondents who reported offering third-party provider loan products said the products have a positive impact on employees' overall ability to manage their financial difficulties.
"HR professionals report that a portion of the Millennial generation are the employees most likely to experience financial stress in their organizations," Esen said. "Demographic differences in the financial challenges of employees potentially could be a source of intergenerational tension or conflict and could affect how financial benefits are tailored to different age groups within the workplace."
Commissioned by Elevate, the survey polled 419 randomly selected HR professionals. The survey, conducted from May 9 to June 2, has a margin of error of plus or minus 5 percent.
The full survey report is available at

...learned to play in the Fischer era, but have never reached an era that I've played like Fischer... (after all, I do have a life beyond the chess board...)
Naturals are well-rounded players who seek a healthy initiative, remain in control of their emotions and follow their intuition rather than constantly looking for exceptions to the rules of chess. A Natural seeks healthy openings and healthy positions. They don't usually win by trickery, but once they obtain an advantage they are all but unstoppable. Naturals place a high value on remaining calm and rarely get into time pressure or uncontrollable situations. (my result from the article "What is Your Chess Personality?")
"...tactics are beautiful and exciting and positional chess is weird and boring. That is, if you don't understand positional chess..."
"...that's why good players almost always take all their time in slow games, even though they are good at tactics, and consistently make safe moves." (speaking about examing all possibilities, from the article "the good, the bad, and the ugly)
"If you love controlling the board and playing in a positional manner, tactics will almost always appear in one form of another."
"...the ultimate purpose of positional chess is to make sure that your pieces are well-placed and ready to participate in the fight..."
''When you engage in a risky winning attempt only to find that it has given your opponent chances, it becomes easy to panic and lose control of the game entirely..." (from the article 'Don't Lose Trying to Hard to Win')

Pit Stories: The 8 Staple Stage Dive
The almighty metal mosh pit: sanctuary to some, place of unfortunate pain for others. Every week we seek out fans and bands to share their most memorable mosh pit stories, and this week guitarist David Davidson of Revocation shares the following tale of a drunken stage dive. A bloody clip of the aftermath is also available below.
My mosh pit story took place during the Darkest Hour Legacy Tour. We were playing in Cleveland at a club called Peabody's and the DH dudes bought a shit ton of booze to get the party started early. I was drinking heavily and was talking with Misha from Periphery about the joys of stage diving. He had mentioned that he had never done it before and in my drunken state I convinced him there was nothing to worry about so I decided to demonstrate for him. I jumped of the stage backwards and at the same time head first. Unfortunately I over shot my jump and landed directly on the back of my head, busting my dome open. After a quick trip to the emergency room I returned to the show with 8 staples in the back of my head. Good times!
In other Revocation news, the band recently shot a new music video for the track "No Funeral."
Check back in next Tuesday as we share more pit stories from band members and metal fans.

The culture wars are over and the idiots have won. This is a veteran journalist's caustically funny, righteously angry lament about the glorification of ignorance in the United States.
The three Great Premises of Idiot America: · Any theory is valid if it sells books, soaks up ratings, or otherwise moves units; anything can be true if someone says it loudly enough; "fact" is that which enough people believe. And "truth" is determined by how fervently they believe it.
Charles Pierce has led a career-long quest to separate the smart from the pap, and now it's time to try and salvage the Land of the Enlightened, buried somewhere in this new Home of the Uninformed. With his razor-sharp wit and erudite reasoning, Pierce delivers a gut-wrenching, side-splitting lament about the glorification of ignorance in the United States and how a country founded on intellectual curiosity has deteriorated into a nation of simpletons more apt to vote for an American Idol contestant than a presidential candidate.
With Idiot America, Pierce's thunderous denunciation is also a secret call to action, as he hopes that, somehow, being intelligent will stop being a stigma and that pinheads will once again be pitied, not celebrated.
©2009 Charles P. Pierce (P)2011 Blackstone Audio, Inc.
"A raucous rant against the armies of the right…. Pierce is at his scathing, insightful best." (Boston Globe)
"Agreed with premise. But tedious writing."
I agreed with the author's points. But, the organization, the structure, was a disappointment. The author got lost in too many tedious historical stories from the 19th century. Of the last ten audio books I have done, this is the dullest. And most of my books are about history or politics.
The book could have been more tightly built around more contemporary examples of idiocy in American life. At least it could have started in the 1920's, an era more relevant to us. There is plenty of idiocy material to work with in the last 90 years : -)
"A Stupid Good account of American History"
Dinosaur Dressage? Atlantis? American Democracy? The stupid things we sell each other and ourselves. Oi.
"Written in 2009 but even more true in the age of Trump"
Pierce saw the downward spiral coming after Obama's election, with the rise of the Tea Party, Glen Beck and the Creation Museum. His three components of Idiot America are present everywhere today. This is a must read for any educated voter now.
"Audiobook is the best"
The story was great. Fantastic history lesson, however you need to listen to the audiobook. The narration is a fantastic theatrical experience and the emphasis on specific words or phrases really helps you delve into the mind of Idiot America.
"A must listen."
A passionate defense of the enlightenment values of our founding fathers. Pierce hammers the damage the elevation of cranks has done to our ability to make informed decisions. However unlike other books on the subject Pierce's work engages this topic with a mixture of humor and seriousness that is very enthralling. The narration is very well done. I highly recommend this book.
Started audiobooks years ago. Now instead of pop music on my ride to work or walk around the neighborhood I get enriched and smarter.
"I am not encouraged"
We actually get a historical look at the dumbing down of America. How certain trends started and grew way out of control.
Have not read any others.
I have not heard any of his other performances, but this wwas nice. Just the right amount of sarcasm and condescension.
This is the prequel to Idiocracy.
"Didn't care for it"
3 stars is generous and I'm only giving it three stars because I listened about 25% and decided that I had listened to enough.
I prefer objective factual information, this book did not have enough of it to support it's points. I just felt like he took a bunch of cheap shots at conservatives the whole way through, inflating outlier events/people that he mentions as if they were an accurate representation of the entire conservative community.
I just felt like there was too much subjectivity in his criticisms, too much appeal to the emotion rather than to logic. So, I wouldn't recommend this book, had I listened to >25%, I am relatively sure that I would feel justified in going down to one star.
"Sooo, WHY are we talking about this now?"
This is what was going through my head the entire audiobook. Although I agree with his premise and most of the points he makes, the flow of the book is a complete and utter mess. One minute he's talking about Glenn Beck, then about James Madison, and I really have no idea why. Once he gets on a topic (Terri Schiavo for example) the flow of the details and the descriptions are really great. It's just that he jumps from topic to topic without really any rhyme or reason.
"I wanted to like this..."
I don't disagree with the author's basic premise,.. unfortunately, this turns into a far-left 'hit piece' pretty quickly.
If you are on the far left,.. this book is for you.
"Tad bit disorganized and hard to follow."
There is a ton of interesting information in this book and the narration helped me to get through the material faster (listen during my drive). That said, it was often difficult to distinguish between a character being quoted - or the author interjecting his thoughts. This is obvious when reading - but not as obvious when listening.

Matthew Gibney argues against 'using citizenship as just another tool in the battle against Islamic terrorism'
- 25 February 2015
- Media coverage
- Blogs / articles
New op-ed in Sydney Morning Herald on the Australian government's proposals on denationalisation
In a new Sydney Morning Herald comment piece titled 'Why stripping citizenship from home-grown terrorists won't work', Professor Matthew Gibney argues against Australian PM Tony Abbott's proposal to remove citizenship from home-grown terrorists. In the proposals announced by Abbott this week, citizenship for dual nationals involved in terrorism could be revoked.
Professor Gibney argues that "By endorsing the Abbott government's proposal to strip citizenship from bad citizens, we risk undermining the key values – equality, responsibility, and security of status – that make our citizenship worth holding in the first place."

Jessica Chastain on mining for details and feminism's new moment in 'Zero Dark Thirty'
NEW YORK -- As the stage lights dim at the Walter Kerr Theatre, signaling an act break for "The Heiress," actress Jessica Chastain gets up off the floor and exits stage left. She sniffles back the tears she effortlessly manifested for the previous scene, preparing for the next act. Her character, Catherine, is frail, emotional, precious, and at the end of this act, burdened by the unloving eye of her father and twisted-up passion for a would-be beau. One can't help but think, "Maya would never be in this position."
Maya is Chastain's character in Kathryn Bigelow's "Zero Dark Thirty," a dense and principled account of the hunt for Osama bin Laden. She's driven, single-minded, seemingly without emotion, save for the tears she can finally shed when her mission is over. It's a fascinating foil to Catherine, who spends the entirety of "The Heiress" moving to a place of rigid, emotionless resolve. And so while on the stage Chastain is performing a fragile character's journey of clenching up, strengthening and hardening, on the screen she's performing a hardened character's journey of releasing, letting go and softening.
"I think the reason for that is mostly I'm just interested in characters that have a huge arc," Chastain says a few days later over lunch at the Mercer Hotel. "But it's interesting also that Catherine is a woman that defines herself completely by men, because she sees herself as her father sees her in the beginning. And then immediately transfers it to her fiancée. Whereas Maya…for her it's a badge of honor to stand alone. She sees it as this great accomplishment that she's completely focused on one thing."
Performing a character like Maya -- who is based on a real-life CIA agent whose identity has been kept a secret as she's still in the field -- is much more difficult than performing, say, the colorful Celia Foote in last year's "The Help" (which netted her an Oscar nomination), Chastain says. But the reward is in the digging, and she confesses a passion for research in that regard.
"I'm playing someone who is trained to be unemotional and analytically precise," she says. "So it means I can't follow my instincts. I've been trained my whole life to be emotional, be vulnerable, to allow whatever hits me to really affect me, but in really intense interrogation scenes when I'm watching Jason Clarke [waterboarding a subject], my impulse is to really be in it, vulnerable. But I have to then take that and say, 'Well, how could I take what I'm feeling and not lie about it?' I have to take it and then go, 'My training doesn't let me show exactly how upsetting this is to watch.' It has to be detailed. I can't do the same scene 10 different ways."
It's a unique character also for its overall lack of backstory or context outside of the events portrayed in the film. Further complicating matters -- or perhaps liberating them -- is that producer and screenwriter Mark Boal, who researched and interviewed the story extensively, has to protect his sources, even to the actors who are portraying them. If Chastain were playing, say, Marilyn Monroe (who she studied at length for her role in "The Help"), there are hours and hours of footage at her disposal. But the caveat there is in mimicry. "How do I create something," she ponders of such studies.
"I tried to give Jessica and the other actors an idea of the people involved through the characters they play in the script," Boal said in an email. "Whenever Jessica had questions about the research behind her character, I tried to give her a general idea of what life was like for people in the CIA, as best as I understood it. But beyond that, I couldn't draw a dotted line between anyone in the script and anyone in real life because these are civil servants, not public figures."
So with no access to "Maya" and only a certain amount of context from the producer and director of the film, the danger of mimicry may not have been there, but the challenge to build character was as apparent as ever. Nevertheless, Chastain says she relished the process, however unique, because it played into her own habits as an actress.
"Something that I do share with Maya is I really like research and I really like solving puzzles," she says. "I would read the script and I found a lot of clues. Like I could take any scene and take one line and go, 'Well, this line means this about her.' I have a process: whenever I do a movie, I make a list of everything all the other characters say about my character and everything my character says about herself, and just looking at that list tells you so much about the person you're playing and how they're different from you. 'Washington says she's a killer.' That's something someone says about Maya. 'A lot of my friends have died trying to do this; I believe I was chosen to finish the job.' Someone who believes that they were chosen to finish the job -- that says a lot about her."
In addition, the practical details that pepper the script became in-roads into the character in many ways. Chastain recalls one as an example, Maya's favorite candy -- Twizzlers -- and how something that small can provide a framework for an inner context. "All these things that call back to this life that Maya then becomes a stranger to, having that there means while we're in the moment, we can create scenes around it," she says. "Like that candy scene. There's no lines or anything, but for me, when we're filming that, coming in from the market, wearing that black robe, sitting down on the couch, drinking the Diet Coke and eating those Twizzlers, it's like this contradiction, of the old world and the new world for her."
She pauses and needlessly apologizes. "Sorry. I talk a lot about acting because I really love it. So if I start talking too long you can just cut me off."
But that spotlight and, indeed, reliance on the character's actions above where she comes from or who she is in a contextual sense is in some ways the essence of cinema. "Shakespeare's even like that," Chastain's co-star Jason Clarke said in a separate interview. "The thought is on the line. There's not subtext; it's just there in the line. What you say is what you mean and what you mean is what you do…You are the sum of all your actions."
Which brings us to that single tear by film's end, and a closing line Chastain has frequently noted as resonant for both the character and the greater themes of the film.
"It's not just like a propaganda, 'Go America,' fist-pumping thing," she says. "It ends with a question. 'Where do you want to go?' And she doesn't know. There's an emptiness. And it's more than just her because it represents us as the audience. Where do we go now that we've killed bin Laden?"
Maybe we go into a certain state of reflection. Much has been made of the film's depiction of torture, leading it to become a political football amongst agenda-driven outlets looking to kick it around. But the depth of its matter-of-fact handling in the script is what resonated for Chastain.
"You see this argument that you don't expect of someone in the CIA saying, 'I cannot bring you proof because I can't do anything without the tools that you've taken away from me,'" she says. "When I was reading the script the first time, I was kind of shocked by that because in the press it had been PC to say the opposite. And here you have so many views. You see how brutal those interrogations were, and then you also see someone fighting for it."
Another difficult-to-resist narrative with the film is the notion that the story of a woman in a man's world standing up for herself and spearheading one of the most important intelligence missions in US history is being told by Kathryn Bigelow, a female figure in the largely male-dominated film industry. But Chastain sees it from a more nuanced angle.
"I do see a similarity between Kathryn and Maya in that when you're on set with Kathryn, you don't think about her as being a woman," she says. "You just think about her as being an amazing director. And she's really good at her job and she never has a speech about the glass ceiling in Hollywood and she never talks about how hard it is to be a woman in Hollywood or in a man's world. She's so focused and just does it.
"And the same with Maya. Maya, no matter what she comes up against with her colleagues, primarily who are men, she doesn't have this speech like, 'You're sexist,' because that takes away from her energy of doing her job well. And I don't know that Kathryn thinks of herself as fighting for women in a man's world. We just talked about the idea that here is this incredible character that stands alone, and it's very rare to see that in a movie, in Hollywood, in America, the female character not being defined by whatever the man was in the film."
Deeper still, Chastain ponders it as representative of a moment in time. "There are so many women that are choosing not to get married, to take their careers and to stand on their own, which, in our society, is a strange thing. I have people even asking me about it. Like why am I not married? I'm sure more people ask me that than they ask a man my age. There's this thing about being the bachelorette.
"So of course it's exciting because this film is bucking all conventions of the typical idea that you would expect with this character. And I think Kathryn's the only one who could really direct the film like this because even if you had someone else who was so great, they might then give her the speech about the glass ceiling in the CIA."
Still, Chastain registers a note of sadness at the fact that the real-life Maya can't be a public element of the story. "Because you want to say, 'Thank you,' you know, for the sacrifices she made. It kind of breaks my heart to think this woman went through all of that, fought even with her colleagues and superiors, everything she kind of gave up, a life, for close to a decade, and she can't get credit for it."
But "Zero Dark Thirty," she says, is the least she and those involved can do to pay tribute.
"Zero Dark Thirty" opens in limited release tomorrow.

Hi, thanks!
Easter Leggers and Olive Leggers!
Well, actually, my plans are for turkeys, and I'm going to throw some chickens in to teach the poults how to eat. I have a Cream Legbar rooster and various hens. So I'm picking the prettiest blue egg I get and the darkest brown egg that I get. Pretty sure those come from an Easter Egger and a Black Langshan. So the results may be um, interesting.

So I'm trying to plan out some mods to the sound effects, but I need everybody's thoughts on a few ideas. First thought was on replacing the standard chicken sound with a T rex, and going from there, maybe have creepers scream Allah Akbar before they blow up, replace the zombies with Fredfredburger, stuff like that, not sure just how far it's going to go. really just going to be very random.

Battle of Britain by helicopter: The anniversary aviation tour which brings you face to face with a Spitfire
It was the closest to the Battle of Britain I will ever get.
As our helicopter levitated 1000 feet above Dover's iconic alabaster-white cliffs, the private air show before us - with the shores of France looming in the distance - was evocative of a bygone age.
In 1940, it was on this stretch of Kent coastline that Britain fought one if its most decisive battles. The area subsequently became known as Hellfire Corner due to the sheer intensity of attack sustained.
So, when the Spitfire Mk Vb BM597 roars into view, two and a half tons of metal wheeling past with the deftness of a bird of prey, it is a moment guaranteed to leave even non-enthusiasts slack-jawed.
Hearing the stirring growl of the aircraft's Merlin engine as it pulled up alongside our helicopter was what gripped me - and knowing that even as a pensioner, the Spitfire can quickly accelerate - with the lightest of touches - up to speeds of 400mph.
The aircraft was close enough to see pilot Charlie Brown give us a nod before peeling away to perform an aerobatics display over the English Channel which left us onlookers, both in the helicopter and the lines of people brought to a standstill on the ground, crick-necked and elated.
The flight marked the launch of a Battle of Britain aviation tour ahead of the 69th anniversary next Tuesday (15th September) and the experience stokes the sights and sounds of wartime conflict.
Plane spectacular: Flt Lt Charlie Brown with the Spitfire
Taking off from Wallett's Court, a Jacobean country house hotel near Dover , it takes just moments to reach the White Cliffs by helicopter.
The pastel patchwork fields quickly give way to coastline and sea
and at Capel le Ferne, you look down on the Memorial to the Few, a
seated stone
airman gazing out to sea built as a tribute to over 500 allied pilots
died during the battle.
When our adventure was over, we met RAF flying instructor Flight Lieutenant Charlie at Manston airfield for a private viewing of the Spitfire, which saw action - but not in the Battle of Britain - before being damaged in February 1943. It is now privately owned as part of the Historic Aircraft Collection in Rye, East Sussex.
Peering into the dial-lined cockpit filled with the aroma of metal and cracked leather, it hit home what it must have been like for the brave men stepping into the plane all those years ago.
With little room to move and a tank of fuel immediately in front, many pilots must have countered the thought that they might not make it home.
And witnessing this mechanised marvel in action while hovering in mid-air, you can see how it must have made a fearsome sight, if you could see it at all. With its camouflaged bodywork, it's hard to spot.
Flying high: Sebastian Lander with one of the helicopters used in the aviation tours
'I've done thousands of take-offs and landings and displays and it never fails to impress me,' Charlie tells me.
'It's incredibly exhilarating. You feel very much connected to the whole era of the Battle of Britain, the history and the people. This is very much a childhood dream.'
It is difficult not to get caught up in the rapture.
Stephen Burt, director of Action Stations, the firm organising the tours, says he believes it is an experience that needs to be shared.
'I've had a passion for World War II aviation since I was a boy - I was born when there was still rationing and every schoolboy's dream was to be a spitfire pilot,' he says.
'It's essentially a way of commemorating the Battle of Britain from the air. We have a responsibility to our national heritage. The battle was a significant turning point for the country.'

Ten Of The Best: Headphones For Music Production
We offer a selection of our recommended headphones for studio use, picking out our top choices at a range of…
Prepare for a few controversial decisions as we run down our list of the best drum machines of all time. From the fattest analogue machines to the iconic sample-based units and seminal early rhythm boxes, we've whittled the options down to our ten favourites.
Launched: 1987
Original RRP: $600 (around £375)
Current price: £50-200 for a unit in good, usable condition
For a long time in the 70s and 80s, drum machines remained the preserve of the relatively moneyed music-making elite (LinnDrum for $2,995 anyone?). It all changed in 1987 when Alesis unveiled the HR-16, one of its first forays into the drum machine market and the first truly low-cost digital drum machine. Overnight the playing field was levelled.
Offering an impressive 49 16-bit sampled drum and percussion sounds – including a full 'ethnic' set – the HR-16 was both powerful and affordable, and with sequencing duties taken care of across 100 user-programmable patterns (and 100 songs), its studio credentials couldn't be argued with either. It was also incredibly easy to use.
Sound-wise the HR-16 is both clean, full-bodied and clear, if a bit, well… cheesy (its closely related younger sibling, the HR-16B, has a better sample set). Not that that stopped it from being embraced (and loved) by many thousands of fans and circuit benders worldwide, including Orbital, Leftfield and Autechre.
If there was a flaw with the HR (and at that price, there really wasn't), then it was the construction, which was notably flimsy, with unreliable gummy buttons and irritating pads. But when it managed to blow open the floodgates to beat builders worldwide these minor failings seem, at best, churlish, and even today the box remains a solid investment.

*** Spotify forces artists to participate into a "Freemium" model where most users don't pay for music which generates very low earnings on a per-stream basis and significantly dilutes overall earnings per stream
Good list. Not sure about the 909 in bronze medal position tho ;-0 Learned a few things I didn't know from this list.
The Roland TR-909 is a real classic. It's the probably most overused Drum
Machine in history of electronic Music. In the 90′s, it was hard to get some Techno Music without sounds of this Monster from 1983.
there should definitely have been at least one Akai MPC in there!
Er… MPCs aren't drum machines.
I own the Elektron Machinedrum and it rocks !
No Sp 1200? Countless, undeniable classics were done on that alone in the Hip Hop world. Solid list though
Lm-1 is missing!!! His many hit records did and does it have ! From prince to Jackson , Genesis, kraftwerk.,,
The 707 is awesome.
seriously guys Plastik man?? you couldn't put cybotron's clear or Beastie's Paul Revere or an awesome use of 808 in a song? LOL
great job by the way David…there are a TON of ultra important drum machines…in terms of the musical landscape….but these are the most well known..
Nice to see brand like plaia i did not know,
But where is the drumtracks from sequential circuits?
The Oberheim DMX/DX drum machines used 8 bit samples, not 12 bit!
Dennis, you're right. We've phrased that badly. The DMX/DX samples are stored at 8-bit but are processed using a compander algorithm to achieve a resolution roughly equivalent to 12-bit. We've edited it to clarify.
I'm surprised that Korg DDD-1 didn't even get honorable mention. It was a great sounding, affordably priced drum machine, that even had a sampling option.
Can someone please help me name a drum synth I bought in the early 1980's (it's driving me mad trying to remember it). It was a pretty tacky pre-MIDI analogue drum machine with four small hand-triggered pads (kick, snare & two toms). It had a couple of brass coloured buttons for cymbals. Several pots for tone or tuning (I think). The only automated thing was the hi-hat. I think it was generally silver & brown. And no, it wasn't Mattel. Can't find anything resembling it on the net. Cheers.
Sounds like MPC Electronics' The Kit to us.
Is that the one?
Yes! Thanks very much. Weirdly, I've just stumbled across it here too: http://www.synthmuseum.com/mpc/mpckit01.html. Phew! 🙂
You did bad research. Sorry to say that. You missed the best one…
Yamaha RY30 in conjunction with
"The ARTIST SERIES feature samples of the artist at his
Yamaha Drum kit with a song and patterns by that artist triggering
an RY30. Using the patterns done by the artist is literally ´like
getting Dave Weckl or Tommy Alderidge to play on your tune´.
The patterns can be freely cut and pasted and altered to the users
—-Phil Clendeninn, Yamaha product marketing specialist
@first and last and always
MPCs are drum machines. Not synth drum machines, but sampling drum machines. Still, a drum machine. And I agree at least one should have made it. I'd choose the MPC60 or my all-time fave MPC3000.
I dont know where you guys get those prices,maybe you could tell me,a 909 actually dont go for less than £2 K easy.in 2010 was possible to get a kicked one for around £1100 but not anymore.
Spot on most people have no idea how much these machines were used in their heyday! There was some pretty tasty programming going on I bet most people today upon hearing would think was a real drummer. I'm referring to the DMX and Linn Drum in particular. I have a DMX which was the 80's electro funk AKA Boogie machine!
"Spastik" sounds more like a 606 to me. But it's modded and eq'd and not a great example of the sound anyway. I'm frowning atcha.
No space for jomox or vermona? Where is the dynacord addone addrive? Prices are all wrong by about £500
I am shocked no MPC made it on this list.
I think the best drum Machine or workstation ever created is the Yamaha motif brand. We have three in our studio in Los Angeles. Hands down nothing sounds better. http://www.edrcstudio.com
The Univox SR-120 has a hidden "feature." You can press down multiple beat buttons at once (with some fennes get them to stay), allowing beats to be mixed, or superimposed, in bizarre and fantastic ways!
Here are the insides, aren't they beautiful!?
I don't think that the Machinedrum is a classic! Put on MPC, much classier 🙂
The SCI Drumtraks is missing – used by Prince almost as much as the Linndrum 🙂
My DX sounds nothing like on those records.
No Roland R8 or 606 but a PIA???… The knife of Autechre first albums!!!
I am proud to say I still have the HR-16B, TR-909 & TR-808.
I had to brag. lol
And I agree with others… the Plastikman track is no way an 808 but a watered down 909. It's a very annoying track if you ask me. Ack…
As said above, "Spastik" by Plastikman is apparently a TR 606 Drumatix machine, together with a TR 909.
Bambaata's "Planet Rock" or Hashim's "Al Naafyish" would be good examples of pioneering 808 use, though.
Would have loved to see the DDD-7 make the list. Still looking for samples on the net. Really crisp highs and punchy mids.
No LM-1 *instantly* invalidates this list. And no TR-808? Doubly so…
