March 1, 1928 - January 29, 2016
Jacques Rivette, who has died aged 87, was the pre-eminent theoretician of the French 'New Wave' and the filmmaker who, with Jean-Luc Godard, came closest in his own work to realising the movement's aims and aspirations.
He was part of that group of young critics who fulminated in the pages of Cahiers du Cinema against the tradition of "quality" in the French cinema of the early 1950s. They called for more improvisational work, shot off-the-cuff in real locations, using actors who, at least at the start of their careers, were only semi-professional.
Rivette began writing for Cahiers du Cinema in 1952 and, from 1963-65, was its editor-in-chief. Francois Truffaut, who became the best-known member of the group, paid handsome tribute to Rivette's influence on his colleagues. "Of all our band of fanatics", he wrote, "Rivette was the most fanatical. It was he who took the initiative, who threw himself into the task, who worked and made us work." When Jean Renoir's film The Golden Coach opened in Paris in 1953, Rivette attended the first performance at 2pm, stayed in his seat till midnight, seeing the film over and over again, and came back the next day for a second dose.
In the event, Rivette was not the first out of the gate when the Cahiers crowd made the crossover from writing about films to directing them. Truffaut and Claude Chabrol had that distinction. But they stuck loyally by him when his first feature, Paris Nous Appartient, ran into delays. Using the clout they had acquired with the success of their first films, Les Quatre Cents Coups and Le Beau Serge, they became co-producers of Rivette's film. Thanks to their support, the post-production functions of editing and dubbing could be completed and the film had its premiere in 1961, three-and-a-half years after Rivette had begun work on it.
Like all but a few of Rivette's subsequent works, it dispensed with conventional narrative. Such plot as it had intertwined two separate strands – rehearsals for a production of Shakespeare's Pericles, Prince of Tyre in Paris in 1957 and the search for a stolen musical score involving a secret organisation bent on world domination – although it is unclear whether it exists outside the heroine's paranoid imagination.
Running to 140 minutes, it proved with hindsight to be one of Rivette's shorter films, but in 1961 was considered diffuse, self-indulgent and visually drab. Time, again, lends a different perspective. It now seems the first, halting step towards Rivette's recurring fascination with the nature of mystery, theatre and illusion; and the first New Wave film to escape what they called "the tyranny of the scenario". Plot in the traditional sense was almost non-existent.
Rivette came increasingly to believe that a film has no auteur in the way that he and his friends had originally understood the term – that "A film by Jacques Rivette", for example, was a contradiction in terms. The director's function was not to impose his vision on a film but to act as a kind of midwife bringing the film, which almost had a life of its own, into the world.
In this he was far more adventurous than his colleagues in the New Wave. More than any of them except Godard, he encouraged improvisation – not only in the dialogue but in the structure of the film. Many Rivette movies went into production with only a hazy notion of how they would end, allowing the actors to steer the action as seemed best to them at the moment of shooting. Unsurprisingly, this did not commend him to producers and distributors, which accounts for the relatively few films he was able to make.
They appealed not to mass audiences but to intellectuals – philosophers, students, literary buffs. Rivette's movies assume an acquaintance with literature – Shakespeare, Racine, Emily Bronte, Lewis Carroll, Proust and many more. They are more about the craft of storytelling than about the stories they tell. Which is, doubtless, why ordinary filmgoers resisted them. Despite their considerable qualities, they often seemed cold and abstract. Few of his films went straight to the heart like Chabrol's Le Boucher or Truffaut's Jules and Jim. Those were art-house films with a human dimension that mostly eluded the much cleverer Jacques Rivette.
He was born on March 1, 1928 in Rouen into a family where "everyone is a pharmacist", he being the exception. He was educated at the local Lycee Corneille and later at university, but never completed the course. Jean Cocteau's diary of the making of his film La Belle Et La Bete fired him with an ambition to follow suit and in 1949, he did. He shot a 20-minute amateur film called Aux Quatre Coins on 16mm and set off for the capital to impress the Institut des hautes etudes cinematographiques (the Paris film school). He failed the oral so was rejected.
Settling in Paris, he became an habitue of the Cinematheque Francaise, then operating on the Avenue de Messine, and befriended Godard, Chabrol, Truffaut, Eric Rohmer and other film buffs who were to spearhead the New Wave. From 1950, he began to review films for Gazette du Cinema and made two more short films, Le Quadrille (1950) and Le Divertissement (1952). Neither was commercially released, though the former, depicting 40 minutes in a dentist's waiting room, without plot or dialogue, attracted favourable comment from critics who saw it privately.
Becoming a regular staff critic on Cahiers du Cinema, he also sought openings in the film industry. He worked as an assistant to Jean Renoir on The Golden Coach and to Jacques Becker on his 1954 version of Ali Baba and the 40 Thieves, with Fernandel.
In 1956, with help from Claude Chabrol and the producer Pierre Braunberger, Rivette made his first 35mm film, Le Coup Du Berger, running 28 minutes. A simple tale about a mink coat that passes from hand to hand, it featured Godard and Truffaut in cameo roles but was not the breakthrough for which many had hoped. That was to be Paris Nous Appartient, when it finally appeared in 1961. It was so badly received, however, that for the first and last time in his career, he fell back on what he thought would be safer material.
In 1966, he shot a film version of a play based on Denis Diderot's 1760 novel La Religieuse, which he had previously staged in Paris in 1963. The story of a young girl consigned against her will to a nunnery in the 18th century, it was interpreted as anti-clerical and initially banned. It was eventually released in 1967 under the cumbersome title Suzanne Simonin, La Religieuse De Denis Diderot. Many regarded its long takes, slow pace and stylised performances as a betrayal of everything for which Rivette had striven. On the contrary, he argued, the film was in line with his customary concerns since it "deals with Catholicism, which is the absolute peak of theatre".
His next film was a return to the manner of Paris Nous Appartient, but even bolder. L'Amour Fou (1968) exists in two forms – one lasting more than four hours, the other only two. Like Paris Nous Appartient, it consists of several stories – one depicting rehearsals for a production of Racine's Andromaque, another (shot in 16mm) of a television crew filming the rehearsal, and a third charting the fictional breakdown of the stage manager's marriage. In the last hour, in which the couple's relationship reaches its lowest ebb, they trash the hotel room in which they are staying.
As if L'Amour Fou were not challenging enough, Rivette next embarked on a production that could have been viable only on television. In May 1970, he shot 30 hours of an improvised 16mm movie, which he edited down to 13 hours and prepared for release under the title Out 1: Noli Me Tangere. It received only one screening before being withdrawn permanently in that form.
A four-and-a-half hour version of the same movie was released in 1974 as Out 1: Spectre, but it baffled critics and audiences since it contained only about a third of the original film. So far as it was comprehensible, it involved a theatrical group (this time rehearsing Aeschylus), a secret society and oblique references to Balzac's Histoire des 13 and Lewis Carroll's The Hunting of the Snark. Even Rivette's stoutest champions found it abstruse and convoluted.
In the same year, he returned to form with Celine et Julie vont en bateau. Shot in five weeks and running three hours, it tapped into a surreal vein in English literature best reflected in Carroll's Alice books. The plot, which eventually comes full circle but with the leading roles reversed, begins with a young girl rushing distractedly past another who is seated on a park bench. The echo of Alice and the white rabbit was intentional. In due course, the two girls join forces and are drawn into a mysterious house, where they participate in a melodrama depicted as a film within the film. The infectious personalities of the two girls (Juliet Berto and Dominique Labourier, who were friends in real life) helped to make this Rivette's only popular success.
Many of his later films were stylistic exercises more than human dramas. It was hard to relate to the main characters of Duelle (1976), Noroit (1976), Merry Go Round (1983), Le Pont Du Nord (1981) or L'Amour Par Terre (1984). Even Hurlevent (1983), a version of the first part of Wuthering Heights, achieved the difficult task of deromanticising the novel.
In 1990, however, Rivette enjoyed another critical triumph with La Belle Noiseuse. Distantly based on a short story by Balzac, it is a film about an artist who rediscovers his talent just as his private life is falling apart. Unlike many of Rivette's films it is gripping at a human level, thanks to a large number of well drawn characters and also a fascinating exploration of the creative process itself. A shortened version, with the painting scenes largely eliminated, was also released as La Belle Noiseuse – Divertimento, but many preferred the original.
Rivette's two-part account of the life and times of Joan of Arc, Jeanne la Pucelle (1993), was cut from six hours to four, and another divertissement – Haut bas fragile (1995), echoing the light-hearted manner of Celine et Julie vont en bateau, failed to find an audience. A policier, Top Secret (1998) was a tale of revenge loosely based on the Electra myth, with nods to Hitchcock.
Rivette continued to produce work into the new century. Va savoir (2001) starred Jeanne Balibar and Sergio Castellitto as a couple caught up in romantic farce as they attempt to stage Pirandello's Come Tu Mi Vuoi, one critic describing it as "yet another peak in Jacques Rivette's exceptional career".
In 2007 Rivette made The Duchess of Langeais (Ne touchez pas la hache), an adaptation of Balzac's novel starring Jeanne Balibar and Guillaume Depardieu. His last film, 36 Vues Du Pic Saint-Loup (2009), starred Jane Birkin as a woman who returns to her childhood circus troupe after her father dies.
Rivette's marriage to the Italian photographer and screenwriter Marilu Parolini was dissolved.

The Battle of Golspie was a military engagement at the village of Golspie in northern Scotland on March 23, 1860, contested between the Royalist forces loyal to the King David V (made up primarily of soldiers drafted from the Lowlands or volunteers from the Chattan Confederation) and the rebel Sutherlands and a handful of fighters from other tribes. Dealt a defeat under cannon fire and outnumbered five-to-one, 320 men surrendered after 145 casualties on the beaches at Golspie while a small contingent retreated a mile away to the nearby Dunrobin Castle. Every prisoner was suddenly and swiftly coralled by the water and executed by the Royalists in a volley of gunfire and bayonetting, leaving no survivors. The murder of the prisoners had been personally ordered by the King, who believed that the Highlands did not respect his authority and would only respond to violence.
The immediate fallout of Golspie was outrage, especially after the events at Dunrobin Castle two weeks later, when Royalist forces, who had been camped outside of underdefended castle since the battle, entered the building, slaughtered almost everyone inside including women and children, and burned the ancient castle to the ground. The two wanton massacres of the Sutherlands nearly dealt a death-blow to the powerful clan and quickly forced permanent peace agreements with the other four rebellious clans that had participated in the Second Clan Rebellion, but severely undermined the image and trustworthiness of the Mackintosh line at Inverness and the Chattans as a whole across the Highlands, sewing the seeds for conflicts throughout the late 1870's and full-scale rebellion in the 1880's, culminating in the 1889 Spalding War.

GREEN BAY, Wis. Aaron Rodgers didn't like the NFL's tuck rule when it first came into play 10 years ago. And after not getting the benefit of that call Sunday, the Packers' quarterback isn't about to change his mind on it. With one minute to go in the first half of Green Bay's 24-15 win over Jacksonville, Rodgers was sacked by Jaguars rookie defensive end Andre Branch. As Rodgers got hit, he attempted to make a throw but lost the ball. It was ruled as a fumble which was recovered by Branch, giving Jacksonville the ball at the Packers' 13-yard line. "I actually told the white cap, I said, 'tuck rule,' was my first thing," Rodgers said after the game. Given that it was under two minutes in the half, there was an automatic booth review. However, the officials confirmed the call on the field. Rodgers, born and raised in California, was 19 years old when the infamous tuck rule play took place. Oakland Raiders cornerback Charles Woodson, now a teammate of Rodgers, sacked Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and caused a fumble. Upon review, it was ruled that Brady's arm was going forward and the ball was given back to New England. "I'm not a big fan of the tuck rule," Rodgers. "I was actually pulling for the Raiders back in the day when Woodson made him fumble. I was living in northern California, pulling for Rich Gannon and the Raiders there, so I'm not a huge fan of it. "It is the rule, and that being said, as I stepped up in the pocket, I felt like the ball was extending, I was bringing it back in, next thing I know I'm on my back and the ball's not in my grasp. They recovered it, and obviously they didn't think it fell into that great rule." Rodgers made sure to get that one last shot in there at the end. But the NFL's tuck rule is here to stay, whether the league's reigning Most Valuable Player likes it or not. Follow Paul Imig on Twitter.

Are you looking for a car you could drive non-stop, averaging say 160 km/h, from Toronto to Montreal and back - while avoiding Highway 401's four lanes for the secondary roads that pass through towns and villages so you could take in the sights, albeit briefly, along the way.
Well, you need search no further than your nearest Mercedes-Benz showroom, where you'll find the 2011 SLS AMG, a car that could definitely get the job done.
After all, one of its spiritual predecessors, the 300SLR, managed to accomplish something much like that in the 1955 Mille Miglia open road race in Italy, covering 1,600 km at an average of 157 km/h with Stirling Moss behind its wheel.
Okay, Moss's 300SLR was a roadster and a thinly disguised Formula One car that owed little other than its distinctive body shape to the 300SL Gullwing road cars the SLS really pays homage to. But it was certainly part of the family born of the 300SL Le Mans and La Carrera Panamericana-winning 300SL racing coupes of 1952 (which introduced the gullwing-door design) and the production coupes and roadsters that followed, even if by marketing department proxy.
And all played their part in creating the legend that inspired Mercedes-Benz and its high-performance arm Mercedes-AMG to attempt to recapture in the SLS the spirit of those heroic (for those who raced them) and glamorous (for those who could afford them) sporting automobiles.
Does that Toronto/Montreal/Toronto run sound improbable? Nah, it would be a snap on closed roads. With 556 hp versus the 1955 racer's 310 hp, a top speed of 317 km/h versus 290 km, immensely more powerful brakes, likely twice the amount of rubber in contact with the road and one of Moss's spiritual successors at the wheel, the SLS could easily manage the feat. But unlike bearded Brit auto journo Dennis Jenkinson who partnered Moss, I don't think I'd volunteer to occupy the co-driver's seat.
Three days of managing to avoid losing my licence in one of these $198,000 super coupes on the road and later driving one on an improvised airport runway track is about all the SLS excitement I'm up for. It's a more than somewhat overwhelming automobile.
Its dry-sump, 6.2-litre V-8 (563 hp/479 lb-ft) and seven-speed double-clutch paddle-shifted gearbox are set amazingly low and far back in its all-aluminum structure, and all wrapped up in bodywork that, while obviously modern, readily evokes the mid-'50s original's look of not-so-subtly contained potency.
Then there are those gullwing doors. Click the fob and a small door handle slides out of the lower panel that you use to lift the door. Watch your head as you step over the wide sill and slip into the muscularly bolstered driver's seat. If you don't have arms like an orangutan, you'll have to hike your backside off the seat to reach up to grab the door to close it.
Now you're ensconced in a cockpit trimmed and equipped in Mercedes-style - elegant but purposeful - luxury, with a flat-bottomed thick-rimmed racing style wheel, a speedometer calibrated to 360 km/h and a tach redlined on the upside of 7,000 rpm in front of you. And, about this time, you're thinking "let the games begin."
When they do, it's with a far-from-theoretical big bang that will literally create a whole new driving universe for most who experience it.
Its electronically controlled "Race Start" is a mind-blower. Twiddle a couple of things to pre-set the system, and with your left foot on the brake, push the throttle pedal to the firewall and keep it there - the revs rise to 3,000 rpm - then lift your foot off the brake and hang on. Simply massive accelerative forces punch you back into the seat, and each automatic shift delivers another Mike Tyson-like body blow. Zero to 100 km/h takes just 3.8 seconds.
And, as for every action there has to be an equal and opposite reaction, when you stand on the huge disc brakes the level of retardation - and the heat generated - must match that of re-entry into the earth's atmosphere.
Hyperbole? Okay, but the forces we're talking about here, including 1.38 G of cornering grip, truly reach well beyond the outer limits of most drivers' - who likely start to feel uncomfortable at 0.38 G in a corner - experience.
If you're looking for something to alleviate your longing for the ultimate ride, the SLS AMG will do the trick.

Time to give credit where it is due and our readers seem to have a great read of the NBA playoff tea leaves.
When we asked last week who would win the title, 60% picked the Boston Celtics. Forty-one percent thought the Celtics "were a tougher team" and would win in seven. An additional 19% picked Boston in six. Twenty-five percent have the Lakers in seven.
Now the action returns to Los Angeles for two games. With the Lakers down 3-2, the question becomes whether home cooking is going to serve them or whether Boston is just the better team.
The Lakers are a 6 1/2 point favorite tonight.
The two most important Lakers -- Kobe Bryant and Phil Jackson -- almost seemed bemused by the situation.
"Just man up and play. What the hell's the big deal?" Bryant said. "If I have to say something to them, then we don't deserve to be champions. We're down 3-2, go home, win one game, go on to the next one. Simple as that."
Right now it appears to be Doc Rivers' Celtics deserve to be the champions. But if history proves anything, it is that this title matchup has been a tale of five games with the drama and script changing with each outcome.
So we ask the question again, Celtics or Lakers?
While we wait the opening tip, here is some good work by some good people that we might have missed while sleeping or let a friend talk us into a 3 a.m. appearance at a strip club.

Earlier a lot of speculations were being doing rounds regarding who would play the role of Dalbir Kaur in Omung Kumar's much awaited biopic on Sarabjit Singh. The role of Dalbir Kaur was offered to Kangana Ranaut, Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra but now it seems that it is the 'Jazbaa' actress who has bagged it!
Though the film is Sarabjit's story, it will be told through the eyes of his sister, Dalbir Kaur, who after he was convicted of terrorism and spying by the Pakistani court and sentenced to death in 1991, started a campaign for his release. Thanks to her efforts and that of the Indian government, Sarabjit's execution was indefinitely delayed. But he was attacked on April 26, 2013 in the Central Jail Lahore and on May 1, was declared brain dead.
Sarabjit was more like a son to her and her defeat in being able to bring her brother back to India is one of the most crushing stories that will now be told on celluloid.
Now, it has been reported that Aishwarya has been her consent for this role. We just can't wait to see her in this powerful role!

A Dealing Disclosure must contain details of the dealing concerned and of the person's interests and short positions in, and rights to subscribe for, any relevant securities of each of (i) the offeree company and (ii) any securities exchange offeror(s), save to the extent that these details have previously been disclosed under Rule 8. A Dealing Disclosure by a person to whom Rule 8.3(b) applies must be made by no later than 3.30 pm (London time) on the business day following the date of the relevant dealing.
If two or more persons act together pursuant to an agreement or understanding, whether formal or informal, to acquire or control an interest in relevant securities of an offeree company or a securities exchange offeror, they will be deemed to be a single person for the purpose of Rule 8.3.
Opening Position Disclosures must also be made by the offeree company and by any offeror and Dealing Disclosures must also be made by the offeree company, by any offeror and by any persons acting in concert with any of them (see Rules 8.1, 8.2 and 8.4).

Question about Computers & Internet
Posted by bigetybigchr on
hanks wat it is my fsb is 533 i had a 2.0 cpu 400 mhz i tried to put
a 3.0 800 mhz fsb and it works it just gives me a speed of 1.5mhz i
guess ill have to get a 2.8 533 mhz p4 socket 478 by the way please
confirm thanks a million
would flashing my bios possibly help thanks
You cannot change your fsb. You need to upgrade to a cpu with a fsb speed that your board can support. Once you install the new cpu your bios will set the fsb to the higher setting of your new cpu if your board supports it. If you have your board specs it will tell you something like supports fsb 1066/800. That would mean you could upgrade to a supported 1066 fsb cpu. Hope this helps & please remember to rate my answer. Thanks.
Posted on Dec 28, 2008
If you have a 533 mhz fsb then the 2.8 would be the way to go. I had to go this route with my wife's olf dell as it had an older motherboard. The reason you can see the 800mhz cpu at all is because chipset is same but it will never give you full performance because of the fsb issue. I hope this helps you out.
Flashing the bios would do nothing to change your fsb speed but it would provide support for compatible cpu's that came out after the board was manufactured.

Episode 614 of 1091 episodes
America's shale oil drillers are struggling to make a profit as crude prices slide. Highlighted today by BHP Billiton slashing $7 bn off the price of its US shale oil business. We hear from a former OPEC energy expert and veteran oil industry analyst, Manouchehr Takin. One of the reasons for the sliding oil price is the expectation that Iran is about to add to global supplies, exporting more crude to a market that has a glut of the commodity. Speculation is rife that the United States will lift sanctions against Iran this weekend. Sarosh Zaiwalla, an international sanctions lawyer who represents a number of clients in Iran, including the national oil company, tells us what the end of sanctions will mean for the business community. A year ago today Switzerland shocked the financial markets by abandoning the Swiss franc's peg to the euro. The Alpine nation's currency surged in value against the EU currency and put Swiss exporters on the back foot, as their rivals in the European Union suddenly enjoyed cheaper costs, a major competitive advantage. The BBC's correspondent in Switzerland, Imogen Foulkes, has been to Zurich to find out how the country is managing its economic challenge. Pope Francis is on record as saying the internet is a "gift from God". Today the Pontiff gets to meet one of the technology world's most influential people during a visit by Eric Schmidt, the former head of Google. The meeting at the Vatican is private but those who follow developments in the city state are fascinated by the encounter. Vatican expert David Willey gives us his take.

CLEVELAND: Top civic leaders among the Cleveland State University alumni ranks helped turn the first shovels of dirt Wednesday for a $50 million housing-retail complex that it calls the city's largest residential development in more than 30 years.
U.S. Rep. Marcia Fudge of Cleveland, Mayor Frank Jackson and Cleveland City Council President Martin Sweeney, all alumni, participated in the groundbreaking under a tent and threatening skies.
The groundbreaking ceremony marked another step in Cleveland State's drive to develop student housing and shed a commuter-school image.
''A campus of over 17,000 students, they really should have 3,000 or 4,000 beds on or near campus,'' said Guy Totino, president of Polaris Real Estate Equities.
The suburban Highland Heights company will build the public-private project on land leased from the university.
The campus currently has housing for about 1,200.
''We think this project has been a long time in coming,'' Totino said.
The project will include nine buildings on nearly seven acres just north of the campus and currently holding parking lots and aging industrial buildings at the edge of downtown Cleveland.
The project will include shops, restaurants, a theater and 300 apartments meant to attract young professionals, professors, alumni and students.
The project is scheduled for completion in phases in 2012 and 2013.
Totino said the university had set the stage for expanded campus housing with the construction of new student and recreation centers intended to keep students on campus longer and make it more attractive to dormitory residents.
''With those pieces in place, adding housing is the logical next step. It really almost guarantees its success,'' Totino said.
University President Ronald Berkman said expanded student housing was part of a goal of connecting the campus to the nearby PlayhouseSquare theater district, the new home of the university's dance and theater departments.

Question: Projansky owner of a retail leather goods store entered into
Projansky, owner of a retail leather goods store, entered into a contract to purchase luggage from the Likely Manufacturing Company for $ 2,000. Likely later refused to deliver the luggage at that price, claiming that inflation had caused the price of luggage to rise 15 percent since the contract with Projansky was made. Projansky then purchased the luggage from another company for $ 2,400 and sued Likely for $ 400. Should Projansky recover?

Description: The charismatic forger immortalized in the filmCatch Me If You Canexposes the astonishing tactics of today's identity theft criminals and offers powerful strategies to thwart them based on his second career as an acclaimed fraud-fighting consultant. Consider these sobering facts: *Six out of ten American companies and government agencies have already been hacked. *An estimated 80 percent of birth certificate requests are fulfilled through the mail for people using only a name and a return address. So I could take your name and use my address, and get your birth certificate. From there I'm off to the races. *Americans write 39 billion checks a year, and half of these folks never reconcile their bank statements. *A Social Security number costs $49 on the black market. A driver's license goes for $90. A birth certificate will set you back $79. When Frank Abagnale trains law enforcement officers around the country about identity theft, he asks officers for their names and addresses and nothing more. In a matter of hours he can obtain everything he would need to steal their lives: Social Security numbers, dates of birth, current salaries, checking account numbers, the names of everyone in their families, and more. This illustrates how easy it is for anyone from anywhere in the world to assume our identities and in a matter of hours devastate our lives in ways that can take years to recover from. Considering that a fresh victim is hit every four seconds,Stealing Your Lifeis the reference everyone needs by an unsurpassed authority on the latest identity theft schemes. Abagnale offers dozens of concrete steps to transform anyone from an easy mark into a hard case that criminals are likely to bypass: • Don't allow your kids to use the computer on which you do online banking and store financial records (children are apt to download games and attachments that host damaging viruses or attract spyware). • Beware of offers that appeal to greed or fear in exchange for personal data. • Monitor your credit report regularly and know if anyone's been "knocking on your door." • Read privacy statements carefully and choose to opt out of sharing information whenever possible. Brimming with anecdotes of creative criminality that are as entertaining as they are enlightening,Stealing Your Lifeis the practical way to shield yourself from one of today's most nefarious and common crimes.

STRONGER Workout by Libby Babet
Posted on 11 May 2015
There are so many kinds of strength training you can do, depending on the outcome you want to achieve and how heavy you're in the mood to lift!
I love this workout as one of my little go-to "Stronger" sessions when I don't want to think too much, or do anything particularly complicated… I just want to train hard with something heavy!
Make sure you warm up properly beforehand, with plenty of gentle movement across multiple planes of motions, then finish your preparation with something more dynamic to get your heart rate up and the blood pumping around your body – I love high knee running, mountain climbers, butt kicks, power skips and crawls.
Now for the workout itself…
This session is based on reps for time and is designed to exhaust your big muscle groups (chest, back, legs) by using heavy weights for 1-minute sets, then working to push fatigued muscles to the limit with a final 30-second bodyweight set immediately after you put down the weights.
You'll do 3 full sets of each 'round' before moving on the the next and because you're over-training the same muscle group, take at least a 60s rest between sets to allow for muscle recovery time.
Round 1
60s – Dumbbell Bench Press (advanced: use a fitball instead of a bench to work more muscles)
30s – Pushups (as many as you can do, count 'em out)
Round 2
60s – Dumbbell or Barbell Heavy Squat
30s – Alternate 1 Bodyweight Squat with 1 Squat Jump until time's up!
Round 3
60s – Heavy Lat Pulldown with Cable Machine OR Dumbbell Standing Back Flies OR Chin-Ups (take your pick, depending on the equipment you have)
30s – Dumbbell Plank Row
Round 4
60s – Heavy Weighted Hip Raises (lie on floor, with a weighted barbell sitting over your hips – use a folded towel to cushion your hip bones! Don't try and lift the barbell on/off your hips, roll it up over your legs each time)
30s – Lunge Jumps
60s Chest-to-Floor Burpees, aiming for 20 reps!

Montmajour Abbey (French: Abbaye Notre Dame de Montmajour) is a fortified Benedictine monastery built between the 10th and 13th century on what was then an island five kilometers north of Arles, in the Bouches-du-Rhône département, Provence, in the south of France.
The Abbey is noted for its 11th-14th century graves, carved in the rock, its subterranean crypt, and its massive unfinished church. It was an important pilgrimage site during the Middle Ages, and in in the 18th century it was the site of a large Maurist Monastery, now in ruin. The abbey is cared for as a historic monument by the Centre des monuments nationaux.
Early History and Legends of Montmajour
Until the late Middle Ages Montmajour was an island, 43 meters high, surrounded by marshes and accessible only by boat. Beginning in the third millennium BC the island was used as a cemetery, with individual graves carved into the rock. In the 9th and 10th centuries the island also served as a sanctuary for the local residents during invasions of the Saracens and the Normans. [1]
During the Middle Ages, several legends arose about Montmajour and its founding. One legend said that the island had been the sanctuary of St. Trophimus, who had been sent from Rome by St. Peter to convert the Gauls. After coming to Arles in 46 AD, he took shelter in one of the caves on the island and received disciples there. A rock cell under the church is called "The Confessional of St. Trophimus."
Another legend said that the graves were those of soldiers of Charlamagne, who had fought against the Saracens. A third legend said that the first church was founded by King Childebert I, the son of Clovis, when he saw fervor of a group of anchorite hermits on the island.
- 943 - A Frankish noblewoman, Teucinde, acquires the island from the Church of St. Trophime in Arles, and leaves it in her will to a group of monks, with instructions to create an Abbey following the Rule of St. Benedict.
- 963- Pope Leo VIII puts the Abbey under his direct patronage.
- 11th Century - St. Peter's Chapel is constructed into the rock on the south side of the hill, near the cemetery.
- 1030- The Abbey acquires what is believed to be a fragment of the True Cross. A chapel of the Abbey church is dedicated to the relic, and the church becomes a major pilgrimage site. Absolution for their sins is given to all who come there on May 3, feast day for the Discovery of the True Cross, and leave a donation for the completion of the Abbey. By the 12th century the pilgrimage had become so popular that the Abbey had to build a separate church, the Chapel of the Holy Cross, for the relic.
- 12th Century - The Abbey is at the peak of its influence and wealth. It possesses vineyards, cornfields, olive groves, waterways, mills, fisheries and forests, and has dependent priories and land all over Provence, and as far away as Frejus, Sisteron and Grenoble. The rulers of Provence give the Abbey land, castles, and even entire towns, such as Pertuis.
- Construction of the Abbey Church of Our Lady is begun, but because of a shortage of money, only the first two bays are completed.
- 13th Century - The Abbey has sixty resident monks, a large number for the Middle Ages.
- 1348 - The Black Plague reduces by half the population of Provence.
- 1357 - The Grandes Compagnies, armies of French soldiers left unpaid after the French defeat by the English at Poitiers during the Hundred Years War, ravage the countryside. The countryside was pillaged again by marauders in 1357, and by the soldiers of Raymond de Turenne of Les Baux, who waged war against Arles from 1386 to 1398. The Abbot of Montmajour, Pons de L'Orme, fortifies the monastery with a massive tower. Widespread starvation and destruction in Provence.
- 1593 -During the Wars of Religion, the Abbey is occupied by soldiers of the Catholic League, and the monks are forced to move to Arles for two years. When they return, they find the monastery ruined.
- 1639 Against the wishes of the majority of monks, the Abbey is given to a new order, the Maurists, a reformed Benedictine order based at the Abbey of Saint-Germain-des-Prés in Paris. Despite the hostility of the "old" monks, and of the Abbot, Charles Bichi, whose family had purchased his title from the King, who did not reside at the Abbey and refused to pay for its upkeep, the Maurists began a program of restoration and construction.
- Though the Maurists monks numbered only thirty, their construction program was grandiose - they began a classical building designed to have twenty-five bays along its north and south facades. Sixteen bays were completed by the time of the French Revolution.
- 1786- the titular Abbot, Cardinal Louis de Rohan, refuses to pay for any more upkeep of the Abbey. The Abbey is officially secularized.
- 1789 -At the time of the French Revolution, only nine monks remain at Montmajour.
- 1791-1793 The monastery is sold for 62,000 livres to Elizabeth Roux-Chatelard, who strips the Maurist building and leaves it in ruins. The property is then resold to twenty different owners. The medieval part is used for a sheep farm and haylofts.
- 1797- the painter Jacques Réattu buys the Pons de l'Orme tower, saving it from destruction.
- 1822- The city of Arles buys the Chapel of the Holy Cross from a fisherman, and preserves it.
- 1840- the writer Prosper Mérimée, inspector of ancient monuments, puts the Abbey on the first list of French historical monuments which should be preserved. Restoration begins on some of the buildings in 1862, and continues for decades.
- 1859- The last of the romanesque and gothic properties are purchased by the state. The Maurist building is not purchased until 1921.
- 1944 - a major fire breaks out inside the abbey church, which is being used by the German Army as an arms depot.
- 1981- The Abbey is added to the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites.
St. Peter's Chapel (11th Century)
St. Peter's chapel is the oldest existing part of the Abbey, probably built between 1030 and 1050. [2] It consists of a narthex and two parallel naves, the older one cut into the rock on the south side of hill, and an arcade of rounded Romanesque arches resting on columns, creating openings to the rock cemetery. The columns are older than the church, and probably come from Roman buildings in Arles; but the capitals of the columns are carved with Romanesque floral designs. The southern nave is complete with a choir and a semi-circular apse.
Inside the chapel a passage leads to what appears to be a natural cave, with a small window, which according to tradition was the home of St. Trophimus and the first monks to live on the island.
The Rock Cemetery (11th-14th century)
The rocky slope near St. Peter's Chapel is has more than a dozen tombs cut into the rock in the shape of human bodies, with places for the head, shoulders and feet. The more recent tombs (14th century) were rectangular, and were probably covered with stone slabs. Most of the tombs are oriented with the feet toward the east, the direction of the sunrise and the Resurrection.
The Chapel of the Holy Cross (12th century)
The Chapel of the Holy Cross (French: Chapelle de Sainte-Croix) was built to contain the most valuable relic in the Abbey, a piece of the True Cross. It is located a few hundred meters from the Abbey Church, outside the monastery walls, and is in the shape of a cross, with a vestibule on the north side, and four semicircular apses with semicircular domes around a square bay with a cloister vault. The vault is crowned by a perfect stone square, topped by triangular pediments and a small tower. The cornices and pediments are decorated with dentils. The building, with its dignity, simplicity, symmetry and perfect craftsmanship, is considered a masterpiece of Romanesque architecture.
The Crypt of St. Benedict (12th century)
The crypt of St. Benedict is partly dug into the rock of the hill and partly built of massive stone walls, perfectly cut. It features a transpect with two absidioles, or small chapels, and a passage which leads to a small rotunda which is crowned with a cupola. The rotunda is surrounded by an ambulatory a tall, narrow circular corridor with a stone barrel vault On its outer side, the ambulatory opens into five radiating chapels, each with its own window catching the eastern light, and its own small barrel-vaulted choir bay and semi-domed apse. The large number of small chapels allowed the large number of monks in the Monastery to quickly celebrate the morning mass. A striking feature of the crypt is the smooth quality of the stone work- the stones are perfectly cut and fitted, and their only texture is the slight rippling caused by dressing the stone with the help of a toothed hammer. [3]
The massive church on top of the crypt has a single nave fourteen meters wide. It was designed to have five bays, but apparently because of a shortage of funds only two bays were constructed, and the west end was left unfinished.
The nave is covered with slightly pointed barrel vaults supported by projecting traverse arches resting upon cruciform piers.
The apse, at the east end of the church, is semicircular, and has the same diameter as the width of the nave. It has an imposing semi-spherical dome with five flat ribs, and three small windows, slightly offset to one side. Perhaps because of the strong mistral and tramontane winds from the north, the nave has no windows on the north side.
The church has a relatively short transept, each wing ending in a small apsidiole.
There are three doorways on the south side of the church; one leading to the rock cemetery, one to abbot's lodging (now ruined); and one to the chapter house and the spiral stairway to the bell tower.
Two new chapels were added to the north side of the nave in the 15th century. One, which served as the sacristy, contains the 18th century lavabo, or washing basin, and the other protected the charters of the Abbey.
The Cloister (12th century)
The cloister was built to the south of the church. It was meant to reinforce the walls of the first four bays of the church, but these bays were never built. It is rectangular, 27 meters long and 24 meters wide. In the center is a cistern which collected rainwater through pipes and channels from the roofs of the monastery buildings.
The north gallery is the oldest part of the cloister. The traverse arches are supported by brackets decorated with carvings of real and mythological beasts, including a tarasque. Some of the foliage-decorated columns show human heads looking through the foliage. The original sculpted capitals were repaired in the 19th century.
At the beginning of the east gallery is the tomb of the Counts of Provence, built to hold the remains of Count Raymond Berenger IV (died 1181). The only original Romaneque capitals are in this arcade, representing the Temptation of Christ by a small devil with flaming hair; on the other side is an acrobat performing splits, and an apple, the symbol of temptation.
The west gallery was extensively altered by the Maurist monks in the 18th century, but the brackets have some of the most vivid carvings, showing the Mistral wind, the moon, the sun and fire, and a mythical amphibious beast devouring a man. It also has 13th century graffiti depicting sailing ships and horses.
The south gallery is the most recent, and the carvings are the most realistic; a donkey, a monkey, a camel and an eagle are depicted on the brackets, and the columns show the Annunication the crowning of the Virgin, and knights fighting.
The Chapter House was connected with the east gallery- here the monks gathered each morning to hear a chapter of the Rule of St. Benedict, and discussed the management of the Abbey. It is lit by a single oculus, or round window, and connected with the nave and by a stairway to the dormitory.
The Refectory, or dining room, connected with the south gallery through a Romanesque door decorated with a grotesque head of Tantalus,
The dormitory of the monks occupied the entire floor over the refectory, and was connected to it by two staircases.
The west gallery formerly connected to the cellar, bakery, bread oven, and guest rooms, which no longer exist.
The Pons de l'Orme Tower (14th century)
The tower was built by Abbot Pons de l'Orme beginning in 1369 to protect the Abbey from the rampaging Grand Compagnies (see chronology.) The tower is 26 meters high, and contained a well and a storeroom for provisions, and three floors in the upper level. The top is equipped with battlements, arrow slits and machicolation, designed to drop unpleasant things on the heads of attackers. The coat of arms of the Abbot, an elm tree with two angel-monks, is carved on the outside of the tower.
The Maurist Monastery (18th century)
The ruined Maurist Monastery was built in the classical Piranesian style on a huge scale; the building was originally five stories high, covering eight thousand square meters, with sixty windows and two grand staircases. The monks, lay brothers and novices lived on the top two floors, with their library, classrooms and archives. The building was largely demolished after the French Revolution for its building materials (see Chronology.)

The Pro Athlete Initiative is a groundbreaking transition program for professional athletes across all sports. Our mission is to help athletes find their purpose, improve their performance and sustain excellence after sports.
Pro athletes universally describe their retirement experience as a "fall off the cliff" after their personal and professional networks evaporate and their access to training and mentoring disappears. No centralized resource currently exists to fill the void.
The Pro Athlete Initiative offers a solution created "by Athletes, for Athletes" where all content and programming originates from the input and shared experiences of a Governing Board of successful retired athletes. The efforts of the Governing Board are supported by an unprecedented coalition of sports team owners, pro sports executives, collegiate athletic directors and leaders from corporate America.
