We had the chance of taking a tour with Stavroula during a brief stop in this charming Greek town during a recent cruise with friends.From the moment we met we were put at ease. We would be safe in her hands and be shown the interesting parts of the area.Helmets on, and up the hill. A gentle ride at first leading to more strenuous parts worked up an appetite for the various tasting we enjoyed. I have written reviews of those separately, but they were all included in the price which we thought was outstanding value.As others have said, Stavroula makes the tour. She is bright engaging and passionate about her business of making visitors feel welcome, and introducing them to the flavors of the area.It was my birthday, and on our last stop she had arranged a cake. What a super surprise.
During our holiday in Greece we stayed 4 days in Nafplio. From home we organised a «food safari», organised by Grecopaths. It was Stavroula, owner and organiser, who guided us that day. Togheter with the kids (5 and 8) we visited a bar serving coffee on a very authentic and spectacular way, a fruit shop with the best greek fuits and vegetables, a shop with various delicacy and herbs and a yummie yummie tradicional made ice cream bar…. Our kids loved it and so did we! We are planning to go back to Greece in the future and Grecopaths will be part of that…that's for sure!
We meet early in the morning in Nafplio for a trip by bus to Prastos in the Arcadian Mountains. From Prastos we hiked to the lovely village Kastanitsa, to visit the chest nut festival. A Beautiful walk, challenging sometimes since I am afraid of heights but hey «Face your fears and they will pass». The other participants supported me a lot. And once I got used to the height the fear disappeared.
Half of the walk is in the Woods. We walked through an amazing landscape with, fresh, clean air. Sometimes it had almost a meditative feeling to it. All the participants and the leaders/guides were so nice and helpful all through the way. Kastanitsa is a spectacular village. So pretty with plenty of white washed houses.
A very nice walk. Recommended to any fit or «medium fit» person. In particular I recommend it if you are stressed out or need an energy refill for other reasons. It's very relaxing to walk in the Mountains. Almost among the clouds
Thank You Grecopath and all participants of this walk, for an Amazing, memorable and fantastic day.
We were on a cruise to Nafplio and booked this day in advance through trip advisor. I can't recommend the cycle enough.The bikes are fab quality the lady who takes you out is fun,interesting and considerate to your ability. We were lucky to have a day that was not too hot she made the ride extra special by stopping part way around and getting a picnic out of local cakes and pastries. Once we finished we rode to the point were we picked the sea Kayaks up. again we had a private tour, The kayak afternoon was totally amazing too, the highlight of the day was stopping on a small private beach and taking a swim and enjoying THE most Devine sandwiches made from all local produce. We enjoyed the day so much. We finished the day by a beer on the final beach and then had a lift back to the cruise ship in the owners car. I have to say that Nafplion is possibly our favourite place to visit of any of our 16 cruises!! It has a bit of everything and a cycle and Kayak are certainly the way to see the real Nafplion. If you are on a cruise then don't panic about missing the ship as Greco are so caring that they will make sure that you get back on time. I am desperate to return as they do cooking lessons, Dinner in local peoples houses which sounds fantastic, Horse riding,scuba diving and lots more. A full day of activity including food, drink and the equipment cost in the region of 200 euro for two of us on a private tour.

A Perfect Weekend
Hey guys! I'm so sorry for the lack of posts recently, honestly I've been having such a great time relaxing and enjoying the summer. I had a wonderful weekend celebrating the 4th and it was much needed. These are some photos I snapped from Saturday evening. My boyfriend and I watched a beautiful fireworks show out on a house boat! It was seriously the best firworks show I've ever seen in my life. The fireworks were gigantic and we were right on the water. It was so dreamy <3 And we ended the night playing Apples to Apples...SO FUN! I couldn't have asked for a better night and I can't wait to see what else summer has in store!
Back soon with an outfit post :)

Aww, sounds (and looks!) like a fantastic weekend. And a boat house? Jeez, I'm jealous!
Haha, and I love the game Apples to Apples :)

Ashlee and Vincent haven't been shy about their relationship as they were spotted at their first official red carpet outing at last week's Boardwalk Empire premiere in NYC on Wednesday, September 14. On the eve of the Emmys, the two lovebirds attended the 9th annual BAFTA tea party at the L'Ermitge in Beverly Hills.
Rumors began to swirl that the two had gotten together after they were spotted in NYC canoodling back in June.

- How to Read a Study Record
Condition | Intervention | Phase |
Lymphoma HIV |
Procedure: Autologous transplant Drug: BCNU Drug: Etoposide Drug: Cytarabine Drug: Melphalan |
Phase 2 |
Study Type: | Interventional |
Study Design: | Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment Masking: No masking Primary Purpose: Treatment |
Official Title: | High Dose Chemotherapy With Autologous Stem Cell Rescue for Aggressive B Cell Lymphoma and Hodgkin Lymphoma in HIV-infected Patients (BMT CTN #0803) |
- Overall Survival (OS) [ Time Frame: Year 1 and 2 ]Assess the OS after autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT) for chemotherapy-sensitive aggressive B cell lymphoma or Hodgkin's lymphoma in patients with HIV using BEAM for pre-transplant conditioning. The primary analysis will consist of estimating the 1 year OS probability from the time of transplantation based on the Kaplan-Meier product limit estimator. The 1 year and 2 year OS and confidence interval will be calculated.
- Relapse/Progression [ Time Frame: Year 2 ]Relapse is defined as the appearance of any new lesion more than 1.5 cm in any axis during or at the end of therapy, even if other lesions are decreasing in size. Progression is defined as a lymph node with a diameter of the short axis of less than 1.0 cm must increase by >= 50% and to a size of 1.5 x 1.5 cm or more than 1.5 cm in the long axis.
- Progression-Free Survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: Year 2 ]The time to this event is the time from enrollment until death, relapse/progression, receipt of anti-lymphoma therapy, or last follow up, whichever comes first. Progression-free survival (PFS) will be estimated using the Kaplan Meier product limit estimator. The PFS probability and confidence interval will be calculated at two years post-transplant.
- Complete Remission (CR) and/or Partial Response (PR) [ Time Frame: Day 100 ]The frequencies and proportions of patients who have a CR or PR. CR is defined as the disappearance of all evidence of disease, and PR is defined as the regression of measurable disease and no new sites.
- Time to Progression After CR [ Time Frame: Year 2 ]This will be assessed in patients with CR. Patients are considered failure for this end point if they relapse after complete remission. Surviving patients with no history of relapse/progression are censored at time of last follow-up.
- Lymphoma Disease-free Survival [ Time Frame: Year 2 ]This will be assessed in patients with CR. Patients are considered failure for this end point if they die or if they relapse after complete remission. Patients with no history of relapse or death after complete remission are censored at time of last follow up.
- Cumulative Incidence of Neutrophil Recovery [ Time Frame: Day 28 ]Neutrophil recovery is defined as two consecutive days of absolute neutrophil count (ANC) > 500 neutrophils/μL following the expected nadir.
- Cumulative Incidence of Platelet Recovery [ Time Frame: Day 100 ]Platelet recovery is defined as a platelet count greater than 20,000/μL for the first of two consecutive labs with no platelet transfusions 7 days prior.
- Hematologic Function [ Time Frame: Days 100 and 365 ]Hematologic function will be defined as ANC > 1500 neutrophils/μL, Hemoglobin> 10g/dL without transfusion support, and platelets > 100,000/μL
- Number of Participants Experiencing Toxicity [ Time Frame: Year 2 ]Toxicities will be defined by using the version 3.0 NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) criteria. Only grade 3 and higher toxicities will be collected.
- Number of Participants Experiencing Infections [ Time Frame: Year 1 ]Microbiologically documented infections will be reported by site of disease, date of onset, severity, and resolution, if any.
- Treatment-Related Mortality (TRM) [ Time Frame: Day 100 ]TRM is defined as death occurring in a patient from causes other than relapse or progression. A cumulative incidence curve will be computed along with a 95% confidence interval at 100 days post-transplant.
- Immunologic Reconstitution [ Time Frame: Year 1 ]Immunologic Reconstitution will be assessed by quantitative immunoglobulin measurement (IgM, IgG and IgA)
- HIV Single-Copy Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) [ Time Frame: Baseline, Days 100, 180, 365, and 730 ]HIV RNA assay will be performed at the specified time points and summarize the assessments of the viral copy number using descriptive statistics.
- Microbial Translocation Markers [ Time Frame: Day 30 and 100 ]Level of microbial translocation markers will be determined by nonparametric Mann-Whitney tests comparing the distribution of prior microbial translocation markers between patients.
- Ig and Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) DNA in Blood [ Time Frame: Day 100, 180, and 365 ]The presence of clonal Ig DNA in plasma will be assessed, as will EBV copy number in plasma and in peripheral blood

Detailed Description:
Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) is an AIDS-defining diagnosis for patients infected with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). While the incidence of NHL has decreased amongst HIV-infected patients since the advent of highly-active anti-retroviral therapy (HAART), lymphoma remains a significant cause of death for this patient population. The prognosis for patients with AIDS-related lymphoma is dramatically different in the era of HAART therapy. In a comparison of treatment outcomes for patients treated before and after the advent of HAART, there is a statistically significant improvement in the overall survival of patients treated with HAART. Unfortunately, despite considerable advances in the treatment of AIDS-related NHL, induction-failure and disease relapse remain key challenges. The prognosis for patients with refractory and relapsed NHL is poor with overall survival rates of less than 20 percent for patients treated with non-transplant salvage therapies. Based upon a randomized trial and numerous phase II trials, high-dose therapy with autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) has been established as the standard of care for patients with chemotherapy-sensitive relapsed non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
All patients must have chemosensitive disease as demonstrated by response to induction or salvage chemotherapy. Patients must also have less than or equal to 10percent bone marrow involvement after their most recent salvage therapy. Patients cannot have had prior autologous or allogeneic HCT. Patients must initiate conditioning therapy within 3 months of mobilization or bone marrow harvest.
Mobilization therapy may be employed per institutional guidelines. Patients must have an adequate autograft to be eligible for the protocol. Patients may not have HIV refractory to pharmacologic therapy. Patients must not have opportunistic infection that is not responding to therapy. Patients will receive Carmustine (BCNU) 300 mg/m^2 Day -6, Etoposide 100 mg/m^2 twice a day (BID) on Days -5 to -2, Cytarabine 100 mg/m2 BID on Days -5 to -2, and Melphalan 140 mg/m2 Day -1 followed by autologous HCT.
Patients will be followed for 2 years post-transplant. Survival data, time to progression data, progression-free survival data, time to progression after Complete Remission (CR) data, lymphoma disease-free survival data, time to hematopoietic recovery data, hematologic function data, toxicity data, incidence of infections, treatment-related mortality data, immunologic reconstitution data, data assessing the impact of therapy on the HIV reservoir and microbial gut translocation will be recorded and reported periodically to the BMT CTN Data and Coordinating Center (DCC).

- Initiate conditioning therapy within 3 months of mobilization or bone marrow harvest.
- Signed informed consent.
- Patients on antiretroviral therapies (ARVs) can either have: a) Undetectable HIV viral load (VL less than 50 copies); b) If VL detectable at less than 2000 copies/mL must have review of previous antiretroviral regimens or previous genotypic or phenotypic testing which indicate the ability to fully suppress virus by addition of sensitive drugs. This review will be carried out by the Infectious Disease (ID) specialist caring for the patient; c)If VL detectable at greater than 2000 copies/mL, a current HIV genotype and/or phenotype must be obtained. If a HAART regimen to which the patient's virus is sensitive can be determined based on genotype and previous antiretroviral experience, then the patient will be considered eligible in this regard. This review will be carried out by the ID specialist caring for the patient.

The district police, on Wednesday, booked two people, including husband of the complainant, for allegedly raping her at Ranian village under Nihal Singh Wala subdivision in the district. The accused are still at large.
Assistant sub-inspector (ASI) Karamjit Kaur said that the victim, who was married to one Niranjan Singh of Ranian village about eight years ago, has alleged, "My husband and his friend Gurdev Singh of the same village came home at night on June 2 in a drunken state. When I objected to their coming so late in a state of drunkenness. Following this both of them attacked me and locked me in a room and both raped me forcibly and fled. The next morning, I went to my parents and told them about the incident."
The police brought the victim to the Dr Mathura Dass Pahwa civil hospital here for medical examination.
"We have registered a case against Niranjan Singh and Gurdev Singh under sections 376, 342 , 323 and 34 of Indian Penal Code at Badhni Kalan police station on the statement of the victim. A special team has been formed to nab the accused and I hope both will be in police net soon," said ASI.

Every year, six million companies and more than 100,000 products are launched. They all need an awesome name, but many (such as Xobni, Svbtle, and Doostang) look like the results of a drunken Scrabble game. In this entertaining and engaging book, ace naming consultant Alexandra Watkins explains how anyone - even noncreative types - can create memorable and buzz-worthy brand names. No degree in linguistics required. The heart of the book is Watkins's proven SMILE and SCRATCH Test - two acronyms for what makes or breaks a name. She also provides up-to-date advice, like how to make sure that Siri spells your name correctly and how to nab an available domain name. And you'll see dozens of examples - the good, the bad, and the "so bad she gave them an award". Alexandra Watkins is not afraid to name names.
"Jam-packed with sound advice, this slim volume can be the difference between becoming a Target and becoming a Speesees." (Publishers Weekly)

Entertaining, great informa and easy to understand
Written in easy to understand language and valuable information for anyone naming a product or business. I wish I'd listened to it years ago.
- Andrew
Great Content
The book had great content. I'm currently trying to name a business and the brainstorming ideas alone were invaluable.
The story was compact and easy to follow. For someone who is very novice naming, this was very helpful
If you're using this book to name your business, consider getting the Kindle or paper version. There are a lot of things you'll want to reference back to

Olympic Barbell 15kg by Vaughn Weightlifting
$399 & FREE Shipping
The 15kg Vaughn Bar by Vaughn Weightlifting is the premiere training barbell for aspiring Olympians. It was designed in collaboration with Chad and Jodi Vaughn to be the ultimate bar for heavy snatching and clean and jerks... but of course it plays nice with regular WODing too. Features include 216,000 psi steel, a 25mm shaft diameter, collars that spin so buttery-smooth you'd swear there were bearings in there... and of course a lifetime warranty. Pick one up today... but only if you want to shatter your old PRs!
The Vaughn Bar was born out of Chad and Jodi Vaughn's frustration with the existing barbell options on the market. While the weightlifting scene in the US is exploding, barbell options and development has not kept pace. Prior to the Vaughn Bar, a purpose-built weightlifting bar with the best steel was $800+. The Vaughn bar clocks in at half that price, and adds a great knurl, no center knurl, a lifetime warranty, and more. Learn more about Chad Vaughn.

Home > Wellness > Health Library > Aortic Valve Stenosis
Aortic valve stenosis is a narrowing of the aortic valve between the lower left chamber of the heart and the aorta, which supplies blood to the body. A narrowed aortic valve forces the lower left chamber of the heart to pump harder to get enough blood through the valve.
Aortic valve stenosis can be caused by a structural problem called bicuspid aortic valve, which develops before a baby is born (congenital heart defect). In these cases, the valve has only two flaps, or leaflets, instead of the normal three.
Aortic valve stenosis also occurs as a person ages and the valve becomes hard and thick from calcium buildup. Most cases of aortic valve stenosis caused by calcium buildup occur in people who are older than 65.

Never Ending Strings - Design Bucket Monday
Yep, it's all in the bucket. That bucket was full. So far I've made 3 string quilts for 100 Quilts for kids (see button on side bar). You can see the first two here and the third one here (I had some help on that one which was awesome!)
And I just finished another 40 string blocks. All of those strings came out of this bucket. It looks like I haven't even touched these strings. Oh boy I was trying to use them all up, but man I don't know if I have enough quilt backing for as many quilts as I can get out of this bucket. I give up even estimating any more. I wonder if it's like a bag of salad spinach. You know when you get it home and it looks like it's not really a lot, but then you bring out the bowl and holy smokes the whole thing is full and ya might need a bigger bowl. Like tossing them around, sorting, finding the really big ones all kinda loosens' em up so they can take up more space. I don't know how many more string blocks I can do. After all those, I'm looking for something a bit more challenging - like maybe Common Bride???? I think I'm pretty close to having enough courage to get that baby started.17 comments:
Beautiful blocks Sue and I think your strings are "growing" at night while you're not watching :) Thanks for sharing.

Engineering a safer O.C.
Scenes of wrecked and submerged neighborhoods in the aftermath of Sandy, the East Coast superstorm, are unlikely to be replicated in Orange County any time soon.
But something very like it happened in 1938. Days of rain dropped more than 9 inches over Orange County, more farther inland, turning much of northern Orange County into a lake as the Santa Ana River overflowed its banks.
The flood claimed at least 19 lives, left 2,000 homeless and yielded memorable black-and-white photos of swamped cars and buildings in Anaheim.
Something very like it also happened in December 2010. More than 9 inches of rain fell over 12 days in Orange County – enough for a 1938-style catastrophe. But the devastation didn't happen this time.
The difference comes down to human engineering. The 1938 flood prompted construction of Prado Dam above Orange County on the Santa Ana River and the concrete channelization of riverbeds across Southern California.
Sealing riverbanks in concrete speeds storm flow on its way to the ocean, depriving us of the chance to capture some water, perhaps, but preventing catastrophic flooding.
"As much as everybody complains about concreting rivers, if we hadn't done that, we would have had 1938 déjà vu all over again," said Bill Patzert, an ocean and climate researcher at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena. "We're somewhat immunized against floods."
Somewhat, however, does not mean completely. More localized flooding remains a genuine threat in Orange County.
And while the chances of a city-swallowing deluge are far lower because of flood control, they aren't out of the question.
A 190-year storm – one that would be expected statistically once every 190 years – could cause similar havoc even with present flood-control measures, said Tom Bucklew of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, project manager for the Santa Ana Mainstem Project.
With a total estimated price tag of $2.1 billion, the project so far has included a variety of improvements along the Santa Ana River, the raising of Prado Dam and the building of the Seven Oaks Dam near the river's headlands in San Bernardino County.
The goal is to provide Orange County with 190-year flood protection. At the moment, it has 70-year flood protection.
"There are still hundreds of millions of dollars needed to complete the project," said Kevin Onuma, manager of Orange County's OC Flood section.
The remaining work includes improvements around Prado Dam.
"It wouldn't be something we have to do tomorrow," Bucklew said. "But within the next few years, we want to make sure we finish the project."
Here, the culprit behind a massive downpour is unlikely to be a hurricane. While we sometimes experience the backwash from weakened remnants of Pacific hurricanes, in the form of heavy rains, the chance of the hurricanes themselves reaching this far north is close to zero.
A hurricane must be powered by warm water.
"We have a very cold California current, called a hurricane vaccine," Patzert said.
Instead, the big threat to Southern California would come in the form of an "atmospheric river," sometimes called the Pineapple Express.
That is when a chain of storms, one behind another, flow over the region from the Pacific.
The 1938 deluge might have been one such atmospheric river; the downpour in 2010 definitely fit the bill.
"Two things allowed us to have 20 million people – headed for 30 million, by the way – in Southern California," Patzert said. "One was water infrastructure, the other was flood control infrastructure. Without all that concrete and all those pumping stations, most of us wouldn't be here."

Our 2014 Count�s Selection Grenache opens with aromas of raspberries and soft spice. Flavors of blueberries, tart cherry and a touch of leather burst forth, coating the palate with a silky texture and soft, rich finish.
The grapes were harvested predominantly from the Haas Vineyard in the early morning of September 30 to ensure they retained their maximum freshness. The wine was then fermented in open-top fermenters in the caves of the historic Buena Vista Winery with hand punch-downs that provided a gentle extraction for a healthy fermentation before being aged for 13 months in 100% French oak barrels from select forests in the center of France. Our 2014 Grenache was made in a Chateauneuf-du-Pape style with small amounts of Mourvedre and Syrah added to the final blend.

flashback about two years ago, still working as a vampire in a call center. i usually head off to IT park for lunch around 12 midnight (and no, i don't go hunting for young pretty things to bite). a newly opened restaurant caught my eye as i originally thought that Sunburst finally opened up a branch in asiatown. who can blame me, the logos look the same.
Kul's Kitchen just opened and there was hardly any people coming in. The hardest part of choosing a restaurant is that you despise going into a full packed restaurant but you also hesitate to go into one that's almost "empty".
i decided to take a gamble and am glad i made that choice.
the word Kul is a literal translation of the Hindi word that means "Home". That makes the restaurant serve home-cooked meals, just about the description everyone uses when asked what is one's favorite food. what sort of house though serves all sorts of asian dishes alongside american, european and mediterranean in one menu? am sure the united nations cafeteria do, but in this case, the chef said that the dishes served are all his personal favorites. well, make that mine too.
it is hard to choose ANY particular dish as they all appeal to the fickle whims of my taste at any given time. in no particular order try to get the crispy boneless pork knuckles (crispy pata), tender falling-off-the-bone creamed ribs, lusciously fat sizzling bangus (milkfish), creamed chicken (chicken and sausage bits cooked in a garlicky cream sauce), pork belly in mango sauce, hot hot chili chicken wings, thai chicken wings, salisbury steak and on and on and on. some of the other dishes fall short of my expectation but the ones i listed are tried, tested, sampled, digested.
a surprise addition to this is a drink, the cucumber slush. you have to take a sip of this refreshing drink and i am sure you will be the next ambassador of this odd gustatory delight.
the prices are reasonable, ranging from Php 80 to Php 150 and the serving size is enough to satisfy a hungry vampire on the prowl.
creamed chicken | triple beef |
sizzling bangus | cucumber slush. ah! |

By the end of September 2014, Vietnam's exports saw a 14.2% increase to US$109.63 billion in revenue, including US$36.63 billion from the domestic sector and US$73 billion from the FDI sector (including crude oil).
It is forecast that exports of garment and telephone handsets will surpass US$20 billion each this year.
Phan Thi Dieu Ha, Deputy Director of the Import-Export Department under the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MoIT), said despite continuous export growth of many agro-forestry and seafood products, the country's exports value in September dropped slightly by 6.6% to US$12.4 billion.
In the nine-month period, exports to new markets like African, Latin American and Caribbean countries witnessed a high growth of more than 50%, particularly Northern Africa rising by nearly 60% to US$466 million.
According to the Vietnamese regional Trade Office, the developing African countries have high demand for agricultural products, garment, computers, electronics, telephones and means of transport. Vietnamese businesses should grasp the opportunity to boost exports to this potential market.
Meanwhile, Latin American and Caribbean countries enjoyed an export growth of 25% to US$25.22 billion. Particularly, exports to Chile rocketed 132.9% to US$354 million. The high growth was attributed to the influence of the bilateral free trade agreement which came into effect as from January 2014.
Earlier, in July, Vietnam's exports to Chile reached US$250 million (up 102%) while imports were US$203 million (up 12%), helping Vietnam obtain trade surplus from Chile for the first time.
Ha said although exports to new market are not high the impressive growth shows that a target for diversifying export market is on the right track. In the fourth quarter, local businesses should accelerate production to meet signed contracts, she suggested.
The MoIT forecast that if there is no obstacle the country's exports will hit US$148 billion, a year-on-year increase of 12% and up 10% compared to the National Assembly's set target.

The Timberlake/Tom Ford Bromance Continues
Justin Timberlake likes to wear Tom Ford. He and the designer worked together on his wedding day tuxedo and earlier this year the performer announced that Ford would be instrumental in shaping the look of his then-new album The 20/20 Experience. This being Tom Ford and all, we get it. So, it's not a huge surprise that, as Timberlake embarks on his world tour, the announcement comes that Ford will be solely responsible for all clothing that concertgoers will see onstage.
And while many singers enlist the help of a big name designer to help them step up their sartorial game while on the road (see: Drake), this endeavor is particularly impressive: Ford will not only be kitting JT out in eight outfits onstage, the band and all back-up singers will also be wearing Ford's designer duds, with what amounts to 600 pieces for the event. One ready-to-wear suit can start in the $3,000 range, so multiply that by 600 and you've got a pretty astronomical price tag attached to the wardrobe budget here. Not to mention that we imagine Timberlake and his crew will be sweating up there under those lights while dancing for thousands of fans. But, in comparison, the dry cleaning fees are mere pennies.

Oshima Nagisa Sex and Violence in the Modern Japan
The Post-war Japanese Film Industry Founded in 1912 One of the oldest production companies. After the dormant period, it resumed production in 1954; it recruited directors from other studios - Imamura Shohei and Suzuki Seijun.
A successful genre, Nikkatsu Action Eiga - action movies for the male audience. After the popularity of cinema declined in the 60s, it successfully turned to the production of soft-porn films, Nikkatsu Roman Porno, with relatively high-budget and production values.
The Post-war Japanese Film Industry Founded in 1920 One of the most successful and reliable companies through the 30s, 40s and 50s - Studios in Kyoto specialized in producing jidai geki - Studios in Tokyo (Kamata and Ofuna) specialized in producing gendai geki
Director's studio - employed a large number of established and talented directors under contract. Conservative production policy targeting mainly the female audience. The decline of its fortune from the late 50s as its movies increasingly looked out of touch with the rapidly changing Japanese society.
The Post-war Japanese Film Industry From 1945 to 2002 Under the charismatic president of the company and chief executive producer, Nagata Masaichi, it produced internationally acclaimed films - Rashomon (1951), The Tale of Ugetsu (1953) and The Gate of Hell (1954).
From the 50s to 60s it produced high-budget epics using top film stars such as Kyo Machiko, Yamamoto Fujiko, Wakao Ayako, and Ichikawa Raizo. Autocratic Nagata became the cause of trouble rather than asset in the 60s. Sensationalist movies in the 60s.
The Post-war Japanese Film Industry The film production branch of Takarazuka Theatre Company founded by Kobayashi Ichiro, a show- business entrepreneur, in 1937. After the war, the company experienced the greatest labour dispute and was split into two companies - Toho and Shin (new) Toho.
Kurosawa was under contract in the 50s. Monster films such as Mothra and Godzilla were its hit products of the 50s. During the slump it shifted to the production of movies for children. Now the most successful company turning popular TV programmes and comics into films.
The Post-war Japanese Film Industry The youngest major film company founded by the millionaire owner of Tokyu Railway Co. Goto Keita in 1949, and later came to specialize in genre pictures - crime thrillers, sward play films, and Yakuza movies.
Commercially the most successful and the only film company making healthy profits through Yakuza films during the 60s and 70s while other film companies were struggling to survive. It came to also specialize in animation from the 80s.
New Youth Films The emergence of a new genre in the mid-fifties - youth film Its origin - the success of a novel - Season of the Sun (1956) by Ishihara Shintaro - a bestseller which scandalized the older generations and created a social phenomenon, Taiyo-zoku ('Sun-tribe') lifestyle and a series of 'Taiyo-zoku' movies Taiyo-zoku Japanese equivalence to Greasers youth sub-cultural movements in US and Rockers and Mods in Great Britain
Youth subcultures in the 50s and 60s consumerism, care-free and reckless actions, loose sex, drug, rock music
New Youth Films Phenomenal successes of Nicholas Ray's Rebel without a Cause (1955) and Richard Brooks' Blackboard Jungle (1955) - featuring the youth and youth culture with sympathy
New Youth Films British films which dealt with the youth and new youth culture in northern industrial cities: Karel Reisz's Saturday Night and Sunday Morning (1960), Tony Richardson's The Loneliness of the Long Distant Runner (1962)
New Youth Films Taiyo-zoku movies and the new youth film - about the youth who live amoral, licentious and irresponsible lives Season of the Sun (1956) Crazed Fruit (1956) Punishment Room (1956) Man Who Caused a Storm (1957) The genre was first exploited by Nikkatsu
Created the new young idols - Ishihara Yujiro,, Shishido Joe, Akagi Kei'ichiro, Kobayashi Akira
Nitani Hideaki, Watari Tetsuya, Matsubara Keiko, Asaoka Ruriko. Thanks to the new strategy, movie attendance rose to just over a billion in 1958, the post-war highest.
New Youth Films In 1958 Shochiku was the poor fourth after Nikkatsu, Toho and Toei at the box office Rivals' triumph, poor performances of its films (including Ozu's) and the success of French nouvelle vague films prompted: Change of its production policy (shift to the movies targeted for the youth market) and promotion of young assistants to directors.

Oshima Nagisa after Shochiku Oshima left Shochiku in protest and became an independent filmmaker. His films were often financed by ATG (Art Theatre Guild), which started as a distributor and exhibitor ('art theatre') but later produced films of such directors as Oshima Nagisa, Imamura Shohei, Shinoda Masahiro, Yoshida Yoshishige (guild or co- operative).

Oshima Nagisa after Shochiku Taboo (1999) Shinsengumi employs a young samurai, who has feminine beauty. He becomes the centre of homosocial and homosexual desire among the members of the militia.

'Active subject' = the director expresses his deepest passions, anxieties, and obsessions 'Active subjects' repeatedly appear in Oshima's films are: Exposé of social hypocrisy and corruption; the abuse of power and social and political exploitation in the modern Japan
Oshima's Themes and Subjects Through examining criminal actions and sexual behaviours, Oshima (1) flaunts the vulgarity of characters, but at the same time, (2) reveals the hypocrisy and corruption of the seemingly prosperous and polite nation, which has created them and makes them exist. Then, he demonstrates (3) sexual crime and violence are not without connection with social exploitation, alienation and repression.
