Do you have a health issue getting you down that Doctor's just can't seem to help with? Do you not feel quite as well as you should? According to Allergy UK as many as 45% of people in the UK suffer from a food intolerance (1), many of which lead to varying symptoms that while not life threatening, can make all aspects of life uncomfortable, painful or just down right miserable. Symptoms of food intolerance are varied and can have a serious effect on the quality of your day to day life. From abdominal pains to eczema, fatigue and Irritable Bowel Syndrome, food intolerance can lead many to unhappiness. But it is a common area that can be difficult to get help for from many in the medical profession.(2)
There is a stark difference between food allergy, and food intolerance. Food allergy sparks a rapid response in the body's immune system to a particular food. The immune system mistakes a food for an 'invader' which often results in a rapid allergic reaction, commonly associated with nut and seafood allergies.(3) Food intolerance on the other hand can lead to many less serious reactions but uncomfortable symptoms that manifest themselves through skin conditions, digestive problems, aches and pains and much more.(4)
There are numerous foods that can spark intolerances including dairy, meat, fruit, fish, gluten, wheat and even vegetables. But how can you find out just what it is that's upsetting you. You could try eliminating certain foods from your diet to see if this has a positive effect on your symptoms but this can be a long drawn out process (and must be done under the supervision of a qualified Nutritionist). There are a number of products on the market today however that offer home tests for a variety of different food intolerances and the Food Detective is one of the most popular.
Simple, safe, reliable and fast the Food Detective is the world's first self test for food intolerance. No more waiting days for results, the Food Detective tests your reaction to 59 common foods through a finger prick blood sample and gives you results in about 40 minutes. The test identifies foods causing IgG antibody production which may be involved in various conditions such as IBS, eczema, and arthritis. The test gives you the ability to easily identify the type of foods that may be affecting your health and eliminate them from your diet giving you the peace of mind to eat the right things and improving your lifestyle.
It is important to note however that changes to diet should only be made after consultation with a qualified nutritionist. Symptoms of intolerances and allergy can be eased with nutritional and dietary help. "Some general advice would be to boost the immune system via a diet rich in a variety of vegetables and fruits which provide vitamins and bioflavonoids. In addition to this omega 3 fatty acids from oily fish e.g. salmon, trout, mackerel and sardines (at least two portions per week) are really helpful to the immune system and also to reduce inflammation in the body."(5)

Very pleasedThis reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.Wild game innovation2 years ago
I bought these online and they arrived within 2 days. I put one up by a feeder and the other at another location and WOW. I didn't realize I had that many animals at night by my place. Very pleased and great quality pictures!
Best Trail Cam Yet!This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.Rocha9 months ago
I bought this a couple weeks ago and it has been the best purchase I've made in a trail cam in a long time. The setup was extremely easy to do and the simple turn dial settings make this cam simple to set. I used the custom setting rather than the preset as I'm just picky. It is very sturdy and locks up tight keeping the elements out specifically water and cold. The pictures it takes are very good quality as well and the sensor is on the dime when something walks out. My feeder sits about 12 ... yards away from the cam and it still senses movement perfectly. This is by far the best cam I have ever owned. I am so glad I made the purchase when I did. I would post the pictures but the file size is too large most likely due to the pictures being 6mp. I can assure though the pictures are high quality as well as super clear for the night visions pictures. Get this cam!!!

Of course the tank topper would not get soiled but the lid would, It is made so it comes off easily to be cleaned on a regular basis. PLEASE NOTE: there is not a pattern included, it gives you the instructions on how to make your own. This is because there are so many different sizes and styles of toilet lids and tank toppers.

Hey guys, my question is, sometime ago I've download GTA Vice City Trainer. And now in mу latest downloads, trainer for that game looks like "updated file available". What does that mean, and when update will be?
That generally means that the latest trainer showing is newer than the one you dloaded. You must have gotten that quite awhile ago as there's only two showing. There's a Steam version from Jan 2008 and a Retail version from June 2010 for version 1.1.
I don't know if there used to be other older ones that no longer show or that you got the Steam version and the Retail is newer than that and may or may not work for you. If you're not having any problems you may just want to keep using what you have.
Well, i've tried trainer which the last on site, but the game has crashed. And there is no use of it. Should I report about it to administration, and maybe they create a new?
If neither trainer works, sure, you could report it . Just keep in mind, that given the age of the game, it's no guarantee they can or will be able to work it into their schedule for updating.

West Bromwich 3-Stafford-4.
A fantastic result to end the first half of the campaign. Stafford came back twice in the game to win a really tight contest. The hockey played by both sides was excellent despite the very wet conditions. West Brom went ahead and Stafford pulled level quickly with a John Sudale defelcted strike from a short, before the break Stafford went ahead with a Peter Chiu glance from another short. In the second half West Brom equalised and then pulled ahead to 3-2. Instead of accepting defeat Stafford pressed ahead withe goals from Dave parr and Peter Chiu securing victory. A great team effort, best of season to date.

text: There's surely no better way to top off a bowlful of sharp, frozen summer berries than by drizzling over a creamy, hot white chocolate sauce. This simple pud melts together in the dreamiest, most decadent way, and you can be diving into a bowlful in just 10 minutes. Remove the berries from the freezer 15 minutes before serving. Put the chocolate in a heatproof bowl and set aside. Put the cream in a small pan and heat until just starting to boil. Remove from the heat and pour over the chocolate, stirring until melted. Spoon the fruit into glasses and pour over the chocolate sauce. Eat immediately. Cook's tip: Create a pretty frosted effect by popping your glasses in the freezer an hour before serving.

Same here ;)
There should be an extra step in this whereby once you've re-read the email in your sent items, you suddenly spot a ridiculous mistake you've made that somehow eluded you in step 2.
Simple enough yet every WoW scam e-mail EVER seems to miss step 2 and for that I thank you :)
Glad to see there are possibly two other people in the world who read what they have written before sending it.

The Editorial Projects in Education Research Center, with support from the Thomas B. Fordham Foundation, has conducted a study of the factors that have influenced the educational policy landscape during the past decade.
The most influential organizations represent an assortment of non-profit, governmental, membership, and philanthropic institutions.
The top places in this leading group are occupied by two government entities and one philanthropic organization. All three finish in a virtual dead heat with scores between 98 and 100 points. The U.S. Congress, the branch of government holding primary authority for enacting education legislation, finishes in first place. Coming in a close second (with 99 points) is the U.S. Department of Education, the executive branch agency responsible for implementing federal policy and programs as well as coordinating with state and local education agencies. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation occupies the third spot on the survey for its work on American high schools.

Theater tragedy memorials taken down by victims' families, city of Aurora
AURORA, Colo. — Based on a recommendation by families of the 12 who lost their lives in a shooting at an Aurora movie theater on July 20, the city of Aurora collected the temporary items from memorials that honored the lives of the the victims for two months.
With the help of the affected families, city officials took down the temporary memorials at Sable and Centerpoint streets and the Aurora Municipal Center fountain Wednesday night.
"On behalf of the Aurora community, many thanks to all those who visited the temporary memorial and left flowers, toys, words of comfort and other items reflecting sympathy and love," Aurora Public Relations Manager Lori MacKenzie wrote in a press release.
Part of the memorial will live on virtually at these links:
The city will continue to provide access to the items at a secured location, provided by what the city called a "community partner." The white crosses that stood at the memorial across from the theater will be delivered to the families or stored by the city, depending on the family's preference.
The Aurora History Museum will handle the archival of items not collected by families. The public will still be able to view a display of condolences and banners not taken by family members at the Aurora Municipal Center, which is located at 15151 E. Alameda Parkway.
The memorials were visited by hundreds of thousands who came to pay their respects, including actor Christian Bale, who played Batman in the film "The Dark Knight Rises."AlertMe

Hearts are stilled mired in minus points but Terry Butcher exulted in positives on Thursday night after winning his first Edinburgh derby as Hibs manager, with a James Collins strike, equalised by Hearts substitute, Dave Smith, supplemented by a perfectly placed penalty kick by Liam Craig after Jordan McGhee had tumbled Lewis Stevenson.
Butcher said afterwards: "It's our first league penalty of the season and it was nice to see Liam tuck it away. He was calmness personified.
"We have set something in motion here and it's going to get bigger and bigger. We will get more quality in. We are on a great run and we want to keep it going."
Hibs, unsurprisingly, were unchanged from the side who beat Kilmarnock 3-0 at home last Sunday and Hearts would also have been had their captain, Danny Wilson, not fallen victim to illness and been replaced by McGhee.
This switch created the curiosity of a Hearts defence consisting solely of Macs – with Jamie MacDonald, Brad McKay, Kevin McHattie and Dylan McGowan making up the clan contingent at the back, although the latter is an Aussie.
This being a festive derby, the stadium accommodated a capacity crowd and the fans were typically raucous throughout the build-up, a reminder that – unless Hearts stage a phenomenal recovery in the second half of their league campaign – this fixture will be a loss to the Scottish Premiership next season.
In the opening quarter-hour Hibs' commitment and snap in the tackle provided vivid testimony to the Butcher effect on players who had a reputation as soft touches, but they had been at least as dominant when the teams met in the Scottish League Cup quarter-finals at the same venue on Oct 30, when they lost to a Ryan Stevenson strike that was Hearts' first attempt on target.
On this occasion, Hibs again forced the first clear opening when Craig got beyond the Hearts back line to deliver a cutback which begged for the crucial touch to be applied but instead ricocheted from the inside of Jason Cummings's boot when he was all alone in front of goal.
Hearts duly posted a warning that, while they might be on the back foot, they retained to the capacity to counterpunch when a combination of the Callums created their best chance of the first half, Paterson skipping wide on the left to find Tapping for a cute reverse flick which eluded Ben Williams and had to be scuffled clear.
The action was certainly absorbing – much to the gratification of the crowd, especially the home contingent – but suffered from the common defect of such turbocharged fixtures, a want of composure, demonstrated graphically when Jordon Forster rose to connect with a Craig free-kick and saw the ball skip off MacDonald's crossbar, but it got there at least as much off his shoulder as his skull.
There was more order to Hibs' next chance, when Craig and Collins combined to present Cummings with a header which MacDonald tipped over the top. By the time the interval arrived with the match scoreless, the common feature of both sides' play was an over-reliance on the long-range pass by which each conceded possession to the other almost by rote.
The feverish atmosphere persisted beyond the break and yet again cost Hibs the chance to go ahead when Collins found space inside the box to lay off for Lewis Stevenson, but the midfielder – who had a clear sight of the target – slashed wildly over, to the loud disapproval of the packed Hibs stand behind MacDonald's goal.
Cometh the hour, cometh the breakthrough. The damage was done, as had seemed increasingly probable, from a set-piece play, in this case a second successive corner kick taken on the Hibs right by Craig and flighted on to the head of Paul Hanlon, whose knockdown was rifled into the net by Collins.
In the immediate aftermath Hearts looked as though they might capsize when Paul Heffernan – newly arrived in place of Cummings – flicked only fractionally wide. It was, though, a Hearts change which tipped matters back in their direction.
Smith, who had been sent on to replace Tapping, forced a passage through the inside-left channel to strike a drive from 22 yards which Williams blocked but could not hold. The rebound pinged straight back into the path of the onrushing Smith, who rammed it home gleefully.
But the drama had yet to uncoil fully and was to be sealed by McGhee's clumsy late intervention and Craig's conversion, cooler even than the Leith night air.

Mohsni sees red for Bollan bother
Rangers defender Bilel Mohsni received a post-match red card after clashing with Airdrie manager Gary Bollan following his team's victory at the Excelsior Stadium.
The French-Algerian had been booked for an off-the-ball incident with Airdrie striker Jim Lister in the second half and he was pulled away by a team-mate after the final whistle as the teams left the pitch.
Rangers manager Ally McCoist, whose team won the Scottish League One clash thanks to Lewis Macleod's 20-yard strike in the 18th minute, said: "I wasn't there, I was up the tunnel, but the referee told me he received a second yellow for acting in an aggressive nature."
Mohsni was angered on several occasions following challenges from Airdrie players, who had six men booked, while Rangers midfielder Ian Black was also cautioned for reacting angrily to a tackle.
Killie keen to keep Boyd
Allan Johnston insists he is in no hurry to cash in on Kris Boyd during January after watching the 12-goal front man kill off St Mirren.
The Kilmarnock forward struck just as the clock ticked past 90 to inflict a cruel 2-1 defeat on the Buddies, who had led early on after on-loan Newcastle teenager Adam Campbell grabbed a debut goal.
Rory McKenzie levelled the game after 28 minutes but Boyd, whose contract expires in the summer, gave another example of the type of finishing that has made his manager so reluctant to let him depart with his last-gasp winner.
The Kilmarnock manager said: "Boydy knows how much of a big player he is for us. Hopefully, we can keep hold of our best players. We are looking to improve the team rather than lose our best players."
And McCoist felt there was a hostile atmosphere in Lanarkshire and
during their 4-0 win at Dunfermline on Monday.
"Whether I think it's over the top or not, I think it's just something we are going to have to handle," he said.
"There was an attitude around East End Park and around the stadium tonight which I don't think is necessarily a good attitude for women and children to be involved in at a football game.
"I'm a big enough boy and have been around Scottish football long enough that the fans and opposition aren't going to open the door and let them trample all over you. That's just the way it is."
Bollan defended his team's approach. "We needed to let Rangers know they were in a game," he said. "My players did that. I'm extremely proud of them."

The 30-Second Trick for News
The deal is reasonable for Verizon, though. It isn't enough that drug businesses utilize phony test reports to acquire their drugs accepted by the FDA. The electronics industry has grown a good deal in a short time span. It's true that technology these days have to be viewed with regard to the changes brought into the existent communication systems throughout the computer. In other words, if new media wants to not be dismissed lightly, it ought to act seriously. So you take a close look at it, and it says what do you want to grow your political news, below are some political blogs.
Children in huge families, since they grow up in financially tenuous conditions, have an extremely strong survival instinct. They associate mainly with each other. They often become quite territorial with each other in order to gain parental attention. They have little or no interaction with their parents but with other siblings. They often do not have outside friends as they only interact with their siblings. The typical child from a sizable family lead an extremely penurious, precarious, and hardscrabble existence. The typical child in a big family often doesn't have parental guidance.
Like rain forests everywhere, it still comprises an astonishing selection of existence. `Truth is among the key victims of PC, freedom is another. It is most likely the best that you can do because people who wish to know the reality, can discover the reality.
News – Overview
You are able to receive and exchange. You're made to do both, he explained. There are styles of fighting it. More emotional pleading it appears to me. It truly is, I feel that. It was not supposed to be this manner. It is a very simple idea but maybe one of the most difficult portion of communication at work especially when conflict occurs.
The Honest to Goodness Truth on News
With your domain and web-host, you should have a manner of preparing your website. It makes you regret going to the site in any respect. Meanwhile, weather websites and more entertaining news websites sat in the center of the list. Other folks desire to utilize your article on their sites. When more men and women use your article then other men and women click on your link to visit your website. This website had what I had been searching for and a number of other intriguing things. If you are able to access a web site at office or from a 3G network yet it isn't working on your computer, it's an excellent idea to use an alternate DNS service besides your ISPs.

Russia Today reports:
Ukraine's parliament has ratified a new naval base agreement with Russia despite the opposition's resistance. The vote was mired with a fistfight, smoke bombs and hooliganism. The document has been approved with 236 votes. It extends the Russian Black Sea Fleet's stay at its base in Crimea until 2042 in exchange for a considerable gas price discount.
The opposition believes that the agreement undermines Ukraine's national security and wanted the document to be denounced at any cost. At the session some deputies threw eggs at Speaker Vladimir Litvin, but he was saved from having his suit ruined by fellow MPs with umbrellas.
Ahead of the session the opposition faction of Yulia Timoshenko covered their seats with huge national flags and a banner saying "No treason of the motherland!"

Sign the Petition — Justice for Canada's Aboriginal Women and Girls
September 4, 2014 — The RCMP has reported close to 1,200 cases of missing or murdered Aboriginal women and girls between 1980 and 2012. That same report highlighted the fact that this number is disproportionately high, showing how Aboriginal women and girls make up over 16% of female homicides, 11% of missing women and yet make up only 4% of the female population in Canada.
With evidence like this, the only right thing to do is call for a public inquiry.
Join the call for a public inquiry. Send the Prime Minister an e-mail and add your voice to growing call for a Public Inquiry into Canada's missing and murdered Aboriginal women and girls.
The Canadian Labour Congress (CLC) has created a petition and encourages everyone to send a message to Prime Minister Harper. Click HERE to access the petition.

Indians president Chris Antonetti has been named The Sporting News 2017 MLB Executive of the Year in a vote by general managers and other major-league executives.
Antonetti received the award as voted on by 44 MLB executives on the night of Nov. 13 during the start of the annual GM meetings in Orlando, Fla.

We were in need of a utility transport vehicle for gardening and field chores. Our homestead is on the side of a steep hill in Cornish, N.H. The main impetus for getting a utility vehicle was the long climb back up the hill from where we do all of our vegetable gardening and backyard recreation. All the fun seems to go out of gardening after two or three long trudges back up the hill for refreshment breaks and/or various gardening tools and supplies.
We wanted an economical and eco-friendly solution, so we purchased a 1996 EZ-GO two-wheel-drive electric golf cart. It came with a canopy and heavy duty 6-volt charger. The cost for the cart was $1,500, delivered. Options added included a rear view mirror ($10), reflectors fore and aft ($10), a homemade trailer hitch ($5) and a set of all-terrain tires on new rims ($250). We invested in a technician's repair and service manual ($49) and diagnostic meter ($70) — both worth every penny.
We replaced the set of six deep cycle, 6-volt batteries ($400) after owning the golf cart for two years. We have found that proper battery maintenance will give a five-to-seven-year battery service life. The electrical system includes a special feature that uses the electric motor as a speed limiter on steep grades, reversing current to recharge the batteries. Charging time is overnight, and our electric utility vehicle will work a full day on a full charge.
The utility vehicle is an integral part of our gardening routine, carrying all the supplies. At garden-side, it provides a place to sit and rest out of the sun. And we use it as transportation to visit neighbors. We appreciate that the utility vehicle is utterly silent and there are no fuel fumes or exhaust clouds.
A 40-gallon, rectangular trash barrel is mounted where the golf bags would go, held in place by the golf bag's retainer straps. The cart is up to hauling whatever fits in the barrel. The empty cart, with batteries installed, weighs about 900 pounds, and has a load capacity of 800 pounds. There is good torque and quick acceleration to a top speed of 12 to 14 mph.
The most enjoyment we get from the utility vehicle is when we sit together watching the sunset. There is also the pleasure of giving rides to the neighborhood children and tired dogs who stop by for a visit. We have also rigged up a sled on a rope and started the sport of grass surfing, but that's another story.

Pathwork is not about eradicating the ego but about developing a healthy ego that is connected and integrated with the Higher Self. One day as I was driving on 1-70 in the mountains of Colorado I entered that state of "driving trance" and asked myself, "What are the characteristics of a healthy ego?". These are the responses that my own Higher Self gave to me. It occured to me that these are,in fact, the goals of successful psychotherapy.
1. To develop a true sense of self-acceptance that is not based on external factors but on an internal acceptance of one's own being.
2. To develop healthy boundaries and limits.
3. To be able to be authentic and speak one's truth rather than present a "false self" or mask.
4. To let go of shame about the past, one's mistakes, history and shortcomings. To practice self-forgiveness and compassion.
5. To be able to feel and express the full range of human emotions appropriately.
6. To practice healthy self-care physically, emotionally and spiritually.
7. To take responsibility for one's life, choices and behaviors rather than blame others.
8. To be able to create and maintain healthy relationships that are interdependent rather than overly dependent or anti-dependent.
9. To separate physically, emotionally and financially from one's family of origin and to individuate with a sense of one's own true identity.
10. To develop a spiritual/philosophical understanding of life which becomes our context for experiencing life's challenges. To see our lives as an unfolding journey that facilitates the evolution of our soul.

OBJECTIVE: The purposes of this article are to explore the issue of diagnostic uncertainty in radiology and how the radiology report has often fallen short in this regard and to suggest approaches that can be helpful in addressing this challenge.
CONCLUSION: The practice of medicine involves a great deal of uncertainty, which is an uncomfortable reality for most physicians. Radiologists are more often than not faced with considerable diagnostic uncertainty and in their written reports are challenged to effectively communicate that uncertainty to referring physicians and others.

2013 How I Bike and Walk Safely Poster Contest Winners
Child Passenger Safety Seat Inspections Schedule
Somerset County Comprehensive Traffic Safety Program
Sponsored by the New Jersey Division of Highway Traffic Safety
The CDC and NHTSA report that motor vehicle crashes are among the top ten causes of death for Americans of all
ages and the leading cause of death for children, teens, and
young adults. In terms of years of life lost, motor vehicle
crashes rank third, behind only cancer and heart disease and
account for approximately $99 billion in medical and lost work
costs annually.
Crash-related deaths and injuries are largely preventable.
Statistics show from 2000 to 2009 that the number of vehicle
mi les traveled on the nation's roads increased and that the
death rate and the injury rate related to that travel declined
The successes are a result from progress in several areas
including safer vehicles, safer roadways, and safer road user
behavior. Strong seat belt and child safety seat legislation as
well as graduated drivers licensing policies for teenage drivers
have helped bring the number of crash deaths down.
In early 2012 the Somerset County Prosecutor's Office, under
the direction of Prosecutor Geoffrey D. Soriano, made application
to the NJ Division of Highway Traffic Safety for a Comprehensive
Traffic Safety Program Grant (CTSP) for fiscal 2013. The grant
was approved and officially awarded in November.
The program
as outlined in the application proposed the formation of a committee
comprised of representatives from public and private sector
organizations, agencies and groups affiliated with the fields of Traffic
Safety. The committee, assisting and under the direction of the CTSP
Coordinator, will be tasked with promoting Traffic Safety through the
three Es, Education, Enforcement and Engineering.
Educational materials and programs for all groups and ages are
available covering different subjects within the Traffic Safety forum.
Enforcement Initiatives will be publicized to increase the public
awareness and local law enforcement agency involvement.
Locations with high crash rates or complaints will be discussed
to evaluate if added markings or signage is necessary to
improve safety.

As we go through 2017, my work is evolving - again. As a single person, I am very aware that I need to generate my own income so have to really think outside the box sometimes! All good things come from something simple and I hope that is the case for myself. I have drawn, printed and painted all my life and so have a mass of material to draw inspiration from. For 20 years I was a potter, so the conclusion I came to, was put my artwork onto bone china mugs and coasters. Not only do I do my work but also other people's art or special photographs. ....Please get in touch if this would interest you.

Amistad (1997)
John Quincy Adams: [to the Court] This man is black. We can all see that. But can we also see as easily that which is equally true: that he is the only true hero in this room? Now, if he were white, he wouldn't be standing before this court fighting for his life. If he were white and his enslavers were British, he wouldn't be standing, so heavy the weight of the medals and honors we would bestow upon him. Songs would be written about him. The great authors of our times would fill books about him. His story would be told and retold, in our classrooms. Our children, because we would make sure of it, would know his name as well as they know Patrick Henry's. Yet, if the South is right, what are we to do with that embarrassing, annoying document, The Declaration of Independence? What of its conceits? "All men created equal," "inalienable rights," "life, liberty," and so on and so forth? What on Earth are we to do with this? I have a modest suggestion.
[tears papers in half]
Yamba: [looking at a Bible]
Joseph Cinque: You don't have to pretend to be interested in that. Nobody's watching but me.
Yamba: I'm not pretending. I'm beginning to understand it.
[outside, a priest blesses himself]
Yamba: Their people have suffered more than ours. Their lives were full of suffering.
[turns to a picture of the newborn Jesus Christ]
Yamba: Then he was born, and everything changed.
Joseph Cinque: Who is he?
Yamba: I don't know, but everywhere he goes he is followed by the sun.
[turns to a picture of Jesus healing a man]
Yamba: Here he is healing people with his hands...
[shows Jesus defending Mary Magdalene]
Yamba: protecting them...
[shows Jesus and the children]
Yamba: being given children...
Joseph Cinque: [sees Jesus walking on water] What's this?
Yamba: He could also walk across the sea. But then something happened. He was captured, accused of some sort of crime.
[shows Jesus with Pontius Pilate]
Yamba: Here he is with his hands tied.
Joseph Cinque: He must have done something.
Yamba: Why? What did we do? Whatever it was, it was serious enough to kill him for it. Do you want to see how they killed him?
[shows the crucifixion of Jesus]
Joseph Cinque: This is just a story, Yamba.
Yamba: But look, that's not the end of it.
[shows the disciples taking Jesus' body down]
Yamba: His people took his body down from this... thing... this...
[signs the cross in the air]
Yamba: They took him into a cave. They wrapped him in a cloth, like we do.
[shows the Resurrection of Jesus]
Yamba: They thought he was dead, but he appeared before his people again and spoke to them. Then, finally, he rose into the sky.
[shows the Ascension of Jesus]
Yamba: [the priest prays in the background]
Yamba: This is where the soul goes when you die.
[shows a picture of Heaven in the clouds]
Yamba: This is where we're going when they kill us. It doesn't look so bad...
Joseph Cinque: Give us, us free. Give us, us free. Give us, us free. Give us, us free. Give us, us free.
John Quincy Adams: [to the court] James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, George Washington... John Adams. We've long resisted asking you for guidance. Perhaps we have feared in doing so, we might acknowledge that our individuality, which we so, so revere, is not entirely our own. Perhaps we've feared an... an appeal to you might be taken for weakness. But, we've come to understand, finally, that this is not so. We understand now, we've been made to understand, and to embrace the understanding... that who we are *is* who we were. We desperately need your strength and wisdom to triumph over our fears, our prejudices, ourselves. Give us the courage to do what is right. And if it means civil war? Then let it come. And when it does, may it be, finally, the last battle of the American Revolution.
Ens. Covey: [translating for Cinque to John Quincy Adams] I will call to the past, far back to the beginning of time, and beg them to come and help me at the judgment. I will reach back and draw them into me, and they must come, for at this moment, I am the whole reason they have existed at all.
[the slave fortress in Sierra Leone is being bombarded from sea]
Captain Fitzgerald: Fire. Fire. Fire. Take a letter, Ensign. To His Honor, the United States Secretary of State, Mr. John Forsyth. My dear Mr. Forsyth, it is my great pleasure to inform you that you are, in fact, correct. The slave fortress in Sierra Leone does not exist.
John Quincy Adams: Now, you understand you're going to the Supreme Court. Do you know why?
Ens. Covey: [translating for Cinque] It is the place where they finally kill us.
Joseph Cinque: [in Mende] What kind of a place is this where you almost mean what you say? Where laws almost work? How can you live like that?
US Secretary of State Forsyth: The only thing John Quincy Adams will be remembered for is his middle name.
Baldwin: Cinque describes the cold-blooded murder of a significant portion of the people on board the Tecora. Mr Holabird sees this as a paradox. Do you, sir?
Captain Fitzgerald: Often when slavers are intercepted, or believe they may be, they simply throw all their prisoners overboard and thereby rid themselves of the evidence of their crime.
Baldwin: Drown hundreds of people?
Captain Fitzgerald: Yes.
Holabird: It hardly seems a lucrative business to me, this slave trading. Going to all that trouble, rounding everybody up, only to throw them all overboard.
Captain Fitzgerald: No, it's very lucrative.
Baldwin: If only we could corroborate Cinque's story somehow with evidence of some kind.
Captain Fitzgerald: The inventory. If you look, there's a notation made on May tenth, correcting the number of slaves on board, reducing their number by fifty.
Baldwin: What does that mean?
Captain Fitzgerald: Well, if you look at it in conjunction with Cinque's testimony, I would say that it means this: the Tecora crew had greatly underestimated the amount of provisions required for their journey, and solved the problem by throwing fifty people overboard.
Ens. Covey: [Translating for Cinque after he has been set free] What did you say to them?
John Quincy Adams: Huh?
Ens. Covey: [translates again] What words did you use to persuade them?
John Quincy Adams: [looks at Cinque] Yours.
John Quincy Adams: [to the court] Well, gentlemen, I must say I differ with the keen minds of the South and with our President, who apparently shares their views, offering that the natural state of mankind is instead - and I know this is a controversial idea - is freedom. Is freedom. And the proof is the length to which a man, woman or child will go to regain it once taken. He will break loose his chains. He will decimate his enemies. He will try and try and try, against all odds, against all prejudices, to get home.
[a band of abolitionists approach the outer gate of the prison where the Amistad refugees are being held for trial]
Fala: [in Mende] Who are they, do you think?
[the abolitionists kneel to pray]
Joseph Cinque: [in Mende] Looks like they are going to be sick.
Abolitionists: [singing] Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound...
Fala: [in Mende] They're entertainers!
Abolitionists: [singing] ... that saved a wretch like me...
Joseph Cinque: [in Mende] But why do they look so miserable?
Holabird: I am looking at the same inventory, Captain, and I am sorry, I don't see where it says 'Today we threw fifty slaves overboard', on May tenth or any other day.
Captain Fitzgerald: As, of course, you would not.
Holabird: I do see that the cargo weight changed. They reduced the poundage, I see. But that is all.
Captain Fitzgerald: It's simple, ghastly arithmetic.
Holabird: Well, for you, perhaps. I may need a quill and parchment, and a better imagination.
Captain Fitzgerald: And what poundage do you imagine the entry may refer to, sir? A mast and sails perhaps?
Calderon: What's most bewildering to Her Majesty... is this arrogant independence of the American courts. After all, if you cannot rule the courts, you cannot rule.
Martin Van Buren: Señor Calderon, as any true American will tell you, it's the independence of our courts that keeps us free.
Theodore Joadson: They were first detained by officers of a brig off Long Island. They were conveyed to New Haven - under what authority, I don't know - and given over to the local constabulary. About forty of them, including four or five children. The arraignment is day after tomorrow. I can only assume that the charge is murder.
Tappan: I'll see what I can do about that.
Theodore Joadson: There remains one task undone. One vital task the Founding Father's left to their sons...
John Quincy Adams: Yeah?
Theodore Joadson: ...before their thirteen colonies could precisely be called United States. And that task, Sir, as you well know, is crushing slavery.
Baldwin: [holds up a knife] Have you seen this before?
Joseph Cinque: [in Mende] I could kill you with my bare hands before you raise that sword.
Baldwin: This belongs to you? Does this? No, no. Umm, I need to know where you're from.
Baldwin: [writing a letter to John Quincy Adams] To His Excellency John Quincy Adams, Massachusetts member, House of Representatives. I have understood from Mr. Joadson that you are acquainted with the plight of the Amistad Africans. If that is true, then you are aware that we have been at every step successful in our presentation of their case. Yet despite this and despite the unlikelihood of President Van Buren's re-election, he has appealed our most recent favorable decision to the highest court in the land. As I'm sure you are well aware, seven of nine of these Supreme Court justices are themselves Southern slave owners. Sir, we need you. If ever there was a time for a man to cast aside his daily trappings and array himself for battle, that time has come. Cicero once said, appealing to Claudius in defense of the Republic, that the whole result of this entire war depends on the life of one most brave and excellent man. In our time, in this instance, I believe it depends on two. A courageous man at present in irons in New Haven, named Cinque... and you sir. Sincerely Robert S. Baldwin, attorney-at-law.
John C. Calhoun: We are inferior in one area: we're not as proficient in the art of gain. We're not as wealthy as our northern neighbors. We're still struggling. Take away our life's blood now, and... well, we all know what happens then. North and South. They become the masters, and we the slaves. But not without a fight!
[the other dinner guests are momentarily silenced]
Martin Van Buren: Senator Calhoun is being modest. He's not inferior in another area, the art of exaggeration.
John C. Calhoun: Ask yourself, Senor Calderon. What court wants to be responsible for the spark that ignites the firestorm? What President wants to be in office when it comes crashing down around him? Certainly no court before this one. Certainly no President, before this one. So, judge us not too harshly, sir. And bid her majesty 'like. Because the real determination our courts and our President must make, is not whether this rag-tag bunch of Africans raised swords against their enemy... but rather, must *we?*
Judge Coglin: Were they born in Africa? Since the answer to that fundamental question shall so heavily govern every determination of this Court, I ask it again. Were they born in Africa?
Joseph Cinque: I met my ancestors.
Joseph Cinque: I will call into the past.
Joseph Cinque: Far back to the beginning of time and beg them to come and help me at the judgement.
Joseph Cinque: I will reach back and draw them into me and they must come.
Joseph Cinque: For at this moment I am the whole reason they have existed at all.
John Quincy Adams: Well, when I was an attorney, a long time ago, young man, I err... I realized, after much trial and error, that in the courtroom, whoever tells the best story wins. In un-lawyerlike fashion, I give you that scrap of wisdom free of charge.
Tappan: [to Theodore] They may be of more value to our struggle in death than in life.
[last lines]
Queen Isabella: ¡Qué bonita!
Baldwin: Captain Fitzerald, please explain to us your primary duties in Her Majesty's Navy.
Captain Fitzgerald: To patrol the Ivory Coast for slave ships.
Baldwin: Because?
Captain Fitzgerald: Because slavery is banned in British law, sir.
Baldwin: Yet the abduction of freemen from the British Protectorate of Sierra Leone and their illegal transportation to the New World, as described by Cinque, is not unheard of, is it?
Captain Fitzgerald: Not even unusual, regrettably.
Joseph Cinque: [to Baldwin] Thank you, Baldwin.
[first lines]
Ruiz: [to Pedro Montes] That one wants us to sail them back. That one thinks he can sail all the way back without us.
US Secretary of State Forsyth: [to Judge Juttson] These slaves, Your Honor, are by rights the property of Spain.
Lt. Gedney: [to Judge Juttson] We, Thomas R. Gedney and Richard W. Meade, whilst commissioned U.S. Naval officers, stand before this court as private citizens, and do hereby claim salvage on the high seas of the Spanish ship La Amistad and all her cargo.
Attorney: Your Honor, here are the true owners of the slaves.
Judge Juttson: Order!
Attorney: On their behalf, I am in possession of a receipt for purchase executed in Havana, Cuba, June twenty-sixth, 1839. I do hereby call on this court to immediately surrender these goods!
Baldwin: On the other hand, let's say they aren't slaves. If they aren't slaves, in which case they were illegally acquired, weren't they? Forget mutiny, forget piracy, forget murder and all the rest. Those are subsequent irrelevant occurrences. Ignore everything but the pre-eminent issue at hand. The wrongful transfer of stolen goods. Either way, we win.
Tappan: Sir, this war must be waged on the battlefield of righteousness.
Baldwin: The what?
Theodore Joadson: [a slave speaks to Theodore in Mende] I'm sorry, I don't understand.
Amistad Slave #1: [in Mende] He reminds me of that Fula of Baoma, you know the one who hires himself to scrape elephant dung from the crop rows.
Amistad Slave #2: [in Mende] A dung-scraper might be just the kind of man we need right now.
Baldwin: [point to a map] Here, Africa? Is this where you're from? A-fri-ca?
Baldwin: [to the court] My clients' journey did not begin in Havana, as they claim and keep claiming more and more emphatically. No, my clients' journey began much, much further away.
US Secretary of State Forsyth: This could take us all one long step closer to civil war.
Martin Van Buren: Over this?
Baldwin: [to Cinque] Cinque, I need you to tell me how you got here.
Baldwin: Our president, our big, big man has appealed the decision to our Supreme Court.
Ens. Covey: [translating for Cinque to John Quincy Adams] What does that mean?
Baldwin: We have to try the case again.
Baldwin: [to Cinque] I said this before the judge, this is almost how it works here, almost.
John Quincy Adams: [to the court] Your Honor, I derive much consolation from the fact that my colleague, Mr. Baldwin here, has argued the case in so able, and so complete a manner, as to leave me scarcely anything to say. However... why are we here? How is it that a simple, plain property issue has should now find itself so ennobled as to be argued before the Supreme Court of the United States of America?
John Quincy Adams: [to the court] This is the most important case ever to come before this court. Because what it in fact concerns is the very nature of man.
Joseph Cinque: [in Mende] Baukei... hold your head up.
John Quincy Adams: What is their story, by the way?
Theodore Joadson: Sir?
John Quincy Adams: What is their story?
Theodore Joadson: Why, they're um... they're from west Africa.
John Quincy Adams: No. What is their story?
Theodore Joadson: [exhales and looks confused]
John Quincy Adams: Mr. Joadson, you're from where originally?
Theodore Joadson: Why, Georgia, sir.
John Quincy Adams: Georgia.
Theodore Joadson: Yes, sir.
John Quincy Adams: Does that pretty much sum up what you are? A Georgian? Is that your story? No you're an ex-slave whose devoted his life to the abolition of slavery, and overcoming the obstacles and hardships along the way, I should imagine. That's your story, isn't it?
Theodore Joadson: [smiles and nods]
John Quincy Adams: [laughs] You and this young so-called lawyer have proven you know what they are. They're Africans. Congratulations. What you don't know, and as far as I can tell haven't bothered in the least to discover, is who they are. Right?
Theodore Joadson: I am embarrassed to admit that I was under the misconception that our Executive and Judicial Branches were separate.
John Quincy Adams: [holding up a nursery plant with tender branches] No more so than these, Mr. Joadson. No more so than these. Now you know.
Joseph Cinque: [through translator] I'm not a "big man". Just a lucky one.
Hammond: I wonder, is there anything as pathetic as an ex-president?
Martin Van Buren: [just then walking through]
Hammond: [jumps to his feet] I, I was talking about John...
Tappan: This news - well of course it's bad news - but the truth is they may be more valuable to our struggle in death than in life. Martyrdom, Mr. Joadson. From the dawn of Christianity we have seen no stronger power for change. You know it's true.
Theodore Joadson: What is true, Mr. Tappan - and believe me when I tell you that I have seen this - is that there are some men whose hatred of slavery is stronger than any, except for the slave himself.
Tappan: If you wish to inspire such hatred in a man, Mr. Joadson, speak to him in that fashion and it may come true.
John Quincy Adams: How is it that a simple plain property issue should now find itself so ignobled as to be argued before the Supreme Court of the United States of America? I mean, do we fear that all courts which found for as easily somehow missed the truth, is that it? Or is it rather our great and consuming fear of Civil War that has allowed us to heap symbolism upon a simple case than ever has been? And now it would have us disregard truth, even as it stands before us tall and proud as a man. The truth... the truth, has been driven from this case like a slave from court to court, wretched and destitute.
Baldwin: Ah, Mr. Tappan. How do you do, sir? My name is Roger S Baldwin, attorney-at-law.
Tappan: Real estate?
Baldwin: Real estate, inventories and other assets.
Tappan: Can I help you with something?
Baldwin: What is it that you do?
Tappan: Well, I own various business... and banks.
Baldwin: As a matter of fact, you probably could help me, Mr. Tappan. But that's not why I'm here. I'd like to help you.
Tappan: Me?
Baldwin: Yes. I deal with property. Sometimes I get people's property back, other times I get it taken away, as in this case. Every one of the claims speaks to the issue of ownership.
Tappan: Thank you, Mr... Mr. Baldwin.
Baldwin: Baldwin, Roger S, attorney-at-law.
Tappan: But I'm afraid what's needed here is a criminal attorney. A trial lawyer. But thanks for your interest.
Baldwin: Yes. Well... intending no disrespect, Mr. Tappan, but if that were the way to go, well, then... Well, I wouldn't have bothered coming down here. Goodbye. I bid you gentlemen a good afternoon.
Baldwin: Ignore everything but the pre-eminent issue at hand. The wrongful transfer of stolen goods. Either way, we win.
Tappan: Sir, this war must be waged on the battlefield of righteousness.
Baldwin: The what?
Tappan: It would be against everything I stand for to let this deteriorate into an exercise in legal minutia.
Baldwin: Mr. Tappan, I'm talking about the heart of the matter.
Tappan: As am I. It is our destiny, as abolitionists and as Christians, to save these people. These are people, Mr. Baldwin, not livestock. Did Christ hire a lawyer to get him off on technicalities? He went to the cross, nobly. You know why? To make a statement. To make a statement, as must we.
Baldwin: But Christ lost. - You, I think...
Tappan: No, sir, he did not!
Baldwin: You want to win, don't you?
Tappan: Yes.
Baldwin: I certainly do. Hell, sometimes I don't get paid unless I do. Which brings us back to the question of worth. In order to do a better job than the Son of God's attorney I'll require two and a half dollars a day.

One-two Punch for Arizona Open-pit Copper Mine
This month the Rosemont copper mine, which would blow a 1.5-square-mile, 3,000-foot-deep hole in Arizona's Santa Rita Mountains, received a double-blow itself.
First there was a letter from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers saying the company's required plan to comply with a Clean Water Act permit doesn't do enough to protect water supplies, wildlife habitat, natural springs and wetlands. Then the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service withdrew its earlier approval of the harmful copper mine, which would decimate important habitat not only for jaguars and ocelots, recently spotted in the area, but also for several smaller species the Center for Biological Diversity has worked to protect, including the Chiricahua leopard frog and two endangered fish, the Gila chub and Gila topminnow.
"Taken together, these decisions are a one-two punch that could be a knockout," said the Center's Randy Serraglio.
Read more about Fish and Wildlife's move in our press release and the Army Corps' letter in the Arizona Daily Star.
Busted Boom Adds Pressure for Brown to Halt California Fracking
A new federal report is raising serious doubts about fracking's future in the Golden State. The U.S. Energy Information Administration revealed last week that it was suddenly cutting estimates of the amount of recoverable oil in the state's Monterey Shale by a mind-blowing 96 percent.
But the oil industry reacted by vowing to experiment with risky new ways to frack the state's oil. And despite new state rules aimed at imposing more transparency on this dangerous form of oil and gas extraction, a recent Center analysis found, Californians still aren't being told about fracking in their communities.
Two-thirds of California voters now want a fracking moratorium, according to a recent poll, and efforts by state lawmakers to impose a moratorium are gaining strength. The growing sense that fracking is all pain and no gain is pressuring Gov. Jerry Brown to avert a dangerous scramble for dirty oil and lead California into a clean-energy future.
Watch as NBC Bay Area confronts California oil officials over a Center report on violations of fracking disclosure rules; then read more in a Huffington Post op-ed by the Center's Kassie Siegel.
Save Monarch Butterflies, Stop an Agent Orange Herbicide -- Take Action
Monarch butterflies have habitat where you wouldn't expect it -- for instance, agricultural fields across the Midwest. But this habitat is in danger of being lost to a deadly new herbicide.
The EPA is planning to approve a Dow Company herbicide that contains glyphosate, the active chemical in Roundup, and 2,4-D, a major component of the infamous Agent Orange toxin used in the Vietnam War. Wildlife habitat, plants and crops that haven't been genetically engineered to withstand this dangerous cocktail will be harmed.
The increase in genetically engineered crops and herbicides in recent years has already reduced milkweed populations by 51 percent, and monarch populations have plummeted by 81 percent.
The use of 2,4-D will also hurt threatened species like California red-legged frogs, Alameda whipsnakes and several types of salmon by destroying plants where these species live.
Act now to tell the EPA you don't support its approval of this herbicide.
NAFTA Commission: Investigate Canada's Failure to Protect Wild Salmon
Spurred by a 2012 petition by the Center and allies, a key NAFTA commission is recommending a formal investigation into Canada's failure to protect wild salmon from disease and parasites due to industrial fish farms in British Columbia.
The decision is an important step forward in a long effort to ensure that Canada's wild salmon, vital to ecosystems as well as native people, aren't destroyed as large-scale aquaculture operations proliferate. Our petition challenged the Canadian government's violations of its Fisheries Act in approving more than 100 industrial salmon feedlots in British Columbia along wild salmon migration routes.
"Wild salmon shouldn't continue to be subjected to viruses, toxic chemicals and parasites from open-water industrial fish operations in their migration routes," said the Center's Jeff Miller.
The commission's recommendation now goes to a vote among representatives of the United States, Mexico and Canada.

How's the View? Pretty Fracking Ugly -- Take Action
What does a massive expansion of fracking look like? The Center has partnered with the Post Carbon Institute to deliver a powerful new photo essay that pulls back the veil on the ugly realities of fracking, whether it's radioactive waste pits in Pennsylvania or a gas compression terminal in Texas.
But this may only be the beginning. Right now Congress is considering fast-tracking exports of liquefied natural gas, which means more natural gas production here at home -– and more fracking in our communities. Fracking blasts millions of gallons of water mixed with toxins, including known carcinogens, to break up the earth and release oil and gas. This technique poisons our air and water and prolongs our dependence on fossil fuels.
Check out the fracking photos and then take action to tell Congress that we refuse to sacrifice our health and environment so that fossil fuel companies can enjoy an export boom.
Drought Hasn't Dried Up Population Growth
The U.S. Census Bureau released its report on the fastest-growing cities in the United States, and once again the spotlight is on the Southwest. Three out of the top five fastest-growing cities are in Texas, the other two in Utah. That's a lot of pressure on the water resources of an already-thirsty region.
Drought headlines have turned dire: "Texas Town Is 45 Days From Running Out of Water" and "Drought-stricken Texas Town Turns to Toilets for Water." As city managers scramble to figure out how to provide water from shrinking resources for growing populations, wildlife and habitat are also feeling the squeeze.
That's why the Center works to ensure species like the Jollyville Plateau salamander and the Austin blind salamander -- both of which share their home with the fastest-growing cities in the country -- have protected critical habitat under the Endangered Species Act.

Help Stop Massive Logging in California's Rim Fire Area -- Take Action
In California's Stanislaus National Forest, the U.S. Forest Service is planning to log so much post-fire habitat that the amount of timber yielded would be nearly four times the amount sold for all national forests in California in 2013. The sale, proposed in a new draft "environmental impact statement," would ignore longstanding rules protecting old-growth trees and destroy habitat for roughly 60 percent of imperiled black-backed woodpeckers.
This destructive sale, in the wake of the 2013 Rim fire, is being proposed despite decades of science showing the importance of preserving burned areas for wildlife like black-backed woodpeckers and the critical function of these complex ecosystems.
In an unusual move, the Forest Service held collaborative workshops to develop its proposal, including inviting recommendations from wildlife experts on how to best protect habitat and watersheds. Woodpecker experts, for example, recommended retaining burned trees, or snags, to protect at least 75 percent of the Stanislaus's black-backed woodpecker habitat. But the agency's proposal rejected this recommendation without any sound basis.
The Center has submitted comments, and we need your help -- act now to tell the Forest Service to cancel this destructive sale.
Study: Global Warming Will Make Oceans Even Trashier
Think our oceans have a problem with plastic? You're right: In the Los Angeles area alone, tons of plastic pieces pour into the Pacific daily, from bags to straws to bottles. And then there's the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, a swirling refuse vortex twice the size of Texas -- and growing. This immense plastic gyre is just one of five similar monstrosities.
Now, a new study says, global warming is worsening the plastic problem: As climate change melts the northern polar ice cap, it releases "microplastics" into the Arctic Ocean. More than a trillion of these tiny bits of plastic debris, once locked in the ice, could be sent into the ocean within a decade.
Plastics harm habitat and injure animals, often killing them. So the Center has stepped up our ocean plastics pollution campaign, and last year, in response to our petition, the EPA pledged to take action, including a scientific review of the human-health effects of eating fish that have ingested plastics and other trash.
Read more on the new study in USA TODAY and learn about our ocean plastics campaign.
Wild & Weird: Lynx Roam Once More Near Chernobyl -- Watch Video
Recent footage from game cameras set in the contaminated forests around the site of the infamous 1986 Chernobyl nuclear meltdown reveals a remarkable paradox of the disaster. Following the evacuation of the region's human population, abandoned farms have reverted to forests and swamps, and wildlife desperate for human-free habitat are returning in abundance. Species diversity is greater within the nuclear exclusion zone than it is beyond the zone's perimeter, where people dominate land use.
Biologist Sergey Gashchak's cameras have captured images of large populations of boars, roe deer, moose, wolves and, most recently, Eurasian lynx.
Lynx have vanished from most of Europe and Russia under pressure from hunting, livestock production and habitat loss. No one really knows how radioactive the Chernobyl cats are, but one thing is sure: Few places outside the exclusion zone offer the vast swaths of land they need to live.
Watch Gashchak's new footage of lynx near Chernobyl in our video, then read more in Slate.

When the military needs portable keyboards for soldiers in the field, they need a human input device that is as rugged as it is easy to use. iKey has apparently heard their call and has created a wearable keyboard suitable for the military's needs and on-the-go computing.
Their creation is called the AK-39 wearable keyboard and this unit is made to withstand the harsh environments such as "rain, dirt and extreme temperatures" and was designed to even withstand areas with "very harsh electromagnetic interference (EMI) environments." But as rugged as this keyboard is designed, it is also created to be versatile by including an integrated pointing device that uses, "an integrated Force Sensing Resistor (FSR) pointing device with left- and right-click functionality." It even includes a face plate to prevent accidental key strokes, supports easy cleaning, and has a green LED keyboard backlight. It is also reported that the AK-39 could be made compatible with night vision goggles.
Unfortunately, as cool as this portable keyboard looks, the AK-39 Portable Keyboard does not appear to be available for the civilian market. So we can't tell you how much this keyboard would set you back to own one. Sadly, the military gets the best toys once again.

Heart of Darkness
in what way does marlow come to consider kurtz a remarkable man? how does marlow feel he compares to kurtz?
chapter 3 heart of darkness
chapter 3 heart of darkness
I think that Marlow and Kurtz have much in common. Both see the raping of the land and people by imperial power as a travesty. Marlow calls Kurtz "a great man" which automatically puts him at odds with other Europeans. I think Marlow was be inning to fall under the spell of the African jungle but left before it could take hold of him like it did Kurtz. I don't think Marlow feels he is as great a man as Kurtz nor am I convinced he realizes Kurtz's limitations (like greed). Still Marlow feels changed by the Kurtz the man and his experience in the Congo.

200 Hours
How far would you go to be number one?
It's 1959, Elvis is in the army, the Beatles are still in England and 'Rock & Roll' as we know it, is in a complete state of atrophy. Meanwhile, America's newest sensation, television, has far-surpassed the popularity of radio as a form of family entertainment. With a TV set in every house, radio personalities are forced to scramble for ratings and listeners, while more successful disc jockeys, like Alan Freed, are encouraged to turn their attention to the increasingly popular form of television music revues.
Enter Peter Tripp, a normal, well-to-do- guy. At least that's what his wife, friends, barber and thousands of devoted radio listeners think… Seeking free publicity and trying to set himself apart from the "Alan Freed's" of the world, Tripp sets out to break the record for sleeplessness, in the guise of raising money for "The March of Dimes."
Broadcasting from a glass booth set-up in Times Square, Tripp attempts the impossible by delivering his hit daily radio show, "Your Hits of the Week," while enduring over 8 torturous nights of sleep deprivation.
As the sleepless hours accumulate, his life begins to unravel. The extra-marital affairs, backroom bribery scams and all his other sordid secrets are soon revealed, in this truly unique screenplay that provides an opportunity to marry the visual elements of the supernatural to the classic settings of a modern American period piece.
Based on the true story of a popular New York disc jockey's absurd mission of supposed altruism, "200 Hours," begs the question of how far one man is willing to go in order to further his career– and just how far he can stretch the boundaries of physical endurance and spiritual determination.How long can you go with out sleep?48 hours?
Flashy, funny, sad and scary, "200 Hours," runs the gamut of emotions and takes us on a seemingly boundless tour of Tripp's spiraling fall into the depths of irrevocable madness.
