Easton's Bible DictionaryIn man is not a mere passive quality, but the deliberate preference of right to wrong, the firm and persistent resistance of all moral evil, and the choosing and following of all moral good.
Goodness of God
A perfection of his character which he exercises towards his creatures according to their various circumstances and relations (Psalm 145:8, 9; 103:8; 1 John 4:8). Viewed generally, it is benevolence; as exercised with respect to the miseries of his creatures it is mercy, pity, compassion, and in the case of impenitent sinners, long-suffering patience; as exercised in communicating favour on the unworthy it is grace. "Goodness and justice are the several aspects of one unchangeable, infinitely wise, and sovereign moral perfection. God is not sometimes merciful and sometimes just, but he is eternally infinitely just and merciful." God is infinitely and unchangeably good (Zephaniah 3:17), and his goodness is incomprehensible by the finite mind (Romans 11:35, 36). "God's goodness appears in two things, giving and forgiving."
Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary(n.) The quality of being good in any of its various senses; excellence; virtue; kindness; benevolence; as, the goodness of timber, of a soil, of food; goodness of character, of disposition, of conduct, etc.

I am preparing to fill a new 18,000 gallon pool with well water. If I bypass the water softener, I can fill it in about 12 hours. The calcium level in the water is acceptable (for pools), but there is also iron and sulfer in it. The water feels very hard when not running through the water softener. I am trying to decide between filling the pool with hard water, or filling the pool much more slowly with softened water. The advantage of using softened water is I won't have to fight with any iron (or sulfer) in the water, and I can add exactly the amount of hardness I want. The disadvantage is that I will need to re-add the hardness that would then be missing. Based on this information, I have two questions.
1.) Will softening the water, and then re-adding the necessary hardness feel less hard than the unsoftened water does?
2.) Is it worth it to soften the water and re-add the hardness for the sake of removing the iron and sulfer from the water?

I have worked for the History Group of the Ministry for Culture and Heritage since 2002, and have been Chief Historian since April 2011 (I was previously Acting Chief Historian from September 2008 to June 2009, and again from August 2010 to April 2011).

WellingtonMaori, publishing
My somewhat varied career began many years ago at the National Lending Library for Science and Technology in the UK, where I worked for a time as a qualified librarian. That was followed by a couple of years in the Pacific as a British volunteer (VSO). It was there that I met my first husband, who happened to be a New Zealander, and the rest, as they say, is history - in my case, fairly literally so! Further study at Massey led to an MA(Hons) in History and I found employment at the Crown Forestry Rental Trust as a Research Assistant. From there I moved to the Waitangi Tribunal where I remained for over 10 years, working first as a researcher and then as a report writer. I still maintain a link with the Tribunal and its work but now operate on a free-lance basis.
My experience of living in a number of different countries has translated into an ongoing fascination with the interface between cultures - be it French migrant communities living in London in the Early Modern period (my early interest) or MÄori and PÄkehÄ interactions in New Zealand. Work opportunities in Wellington as well as a growing interest in MÄori history have led me to focus on the latter in recent times.Read full profile

Business Research
Example Questions That Can Be Answered Using This FAQ
Business research can be tricky on the Web. Part of the problem is that many people who need to do business research are either affiliated with a school or a private company, so the people who put business information on the Web assume that people who do business research can afford to pay for it. Further, the Web does not yet have many full-text articles. There are, however, sites that do try to put together the best of business research.

Other Sources for Business Research
A good place to start business research is at your local public or college library. Libraries often have business resources that include reference books, sample plans, directories, and subscription-only databases. The databases ABI/INFORM and Business Source are good for general research. If you are looking for company or personal information, you might want to try the databases Business and Company Resource Center or Reference USA. Some libraries will also have access to LexisNexis, a large news and information database with both general and topic-specific material. Ask one of the librarians to tell you what's available. If your library doesn't have the specific article(s) you need, ask about whether they offer an interlibrary loan service that could help you get copies of the articles from another library that does.
Not sure how to find your library? Go to our Library Locator page where we've listed resources to help you find the nearest physical library to you.

I'm pleased that the Committee is looking into
the subject of Empty Homes. I'm particularly concerned that planning
authorities, public inquiries and planning inspectors are not
seeing the importance of this.
In Swindon we have a good record on Empty Homes
but we could do even better and if challenging but sensible projections
had been adopted by the planning authorities there would have
been a reduced need to build on green fields.
This multiplied across the country could make
a huge impact on building requirements. The Empty Homes Agency
believes that planning on a figure of 1.5 per cent of homes being
empty is reasonable and I understand this has been achieved in
some areas.
I hope the Committee will recommend that the
Government requires that unless exceptional reasons can be given,
1.5 per cent is built into all plans from now so that there is
extra reason to get Empty Homes back into use and to preserve
more green fields.

Labour MP for South Swindon.

Her story. His story. The love story of Joey and Rory.
By inviting so many into the final months of Joey's life as she battled cancer, Joey and Rory Feek captured hearts around the world with how they handled the diagnosis; the inspiring, simple way they chose to live; and how they loved each other every step of the way. But there is far more to the story.
"My life is very ordinary," says Rory. "On the surface, it is not very special. If you looked at it, day to day, it wouldn't seem like much. But when you look at it in a bigger context—as part of a larger story—you start to see the magic that is on the pages of the book that is my life. And the more you look, the more you see. Or, at least, I do."
In this vulnerable book, he takes us for the first time into his own challenging life story and what it was like growing up in rural America with little money and even less family stability.
This is the story of a man searching for meaning and security in a world that offered neither. And it's the story of a man who finally gives it all to a power higher than himself and soon meets a young woman who will change his heart forever.
In This Life I Live, Rory Feek helps us not only to connect more fully to his and Joey's story but also to our own journeys. He shows what can happen when we are fully open in life's key moments, whether when meeting our life companion or tackling an unexpected tragedy. He also gives never-before-revealed details on their life together and what he calls "the long goodbye," the blessing of being able to know that life is going to end and taking advantage of it. Rory shows how we are all actually there already and how we can learn to live that way every day.
A gifted man from nowhere and everywhere in search of something to believe in. A young woman from the Midwest with an angelic voice and deep roots that just needed a place to be planted. This is their story. Two hearts that found each other and touched millions of other hearts along the way.

text: Home » Games » Madden 09 (Xbox 360 & Playstation 3) Madden 09 (Xbox 360 & Playstation 3) Stuart Davidson August 13, 2008 Games Madden, the video game, has been running, every year, for as long as I can remember and amazingly, the title still seems fresh and exciting. Throughout the 20 years of development the game has received numerous nip n' tucks which this year reaches the pinnacle of execution on the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360. EA Sports have changed the core gameplay to focus on different play styles and a user defined difficulty setting which they call "My Skill". In combination with the even higher production values it is sure to appeal to new users. Initially, after loading you are presented with the Madden Test, this comprises four drills which gauge your Madden IQ. The results from this are used to establish the aforementioned My Skill difficulty level. This algorithm constantly accesses your playing ability and changes after each game. It works well to a certain degree, however there are some flaws. If you excel in one particular area, such as gaining huge yards with a halfback, the AI nails that down so you face tougher rushing defense. While in theory this sounds fair and justified, in real life there aren't many teams who will be able to suddenly change tactics in such a startling manner. It also makes getting MVP with players very difficult as those star players will have to deal with heightened computer AI levels. Thankfully in all areas of Madden 09 there are options to change the settings so you can fine tune it (which I did). Play styles work very well because even if you are a novice, you will find a setting to suit. The easiest level for instance handles everything except for hiking, running and throwing the ball. This means if it is a very young or inexperienced player, they will still be able to get into the game, with the help of the computer AI. Obviously at the other end of the scale, the hardest level has no computer AI input, so you are on your own. Perfect for the die hard, experienced purists. Play styles are a great addition and are obviously there for the most part to help new users, however they work just as well when a an unskilled player wants to play a Pro. Madden has a handicap system which can help people of different skill levels to compete. Unfortunately while the game has been fine tuned for new users, the old veterans don't really get many additions. There are some new aspects, such as slide protection, bluffing play art, formation subs on the fly and rivalry games. That however is about it. I was particularly impressed with Madden 08, and it was probably the best game in the respected series. This years is a fine tuned version and improves in key areas. As I mentioned in the introduction, the presentation levels are incredibly high and thankfully EA Sports have added Tom Hammond and Cris Collinsworth to the broadcast booth … they both do a fine job of accurate and entertaining commentary. Backtrack is the new football analysis system which breaks down the game into concise and often fascinating snippets. Some bonus points are awarded for this because it really does make you feel as though you are interacting with a live game on television. Rewind is a new feature which might not make the grade in future years if my assumptions are right. This gives players a mulligan at the previous play. It isn't used at all during online multiplayer however it can be used locally. I really don't like the idea of watching one of my touchdowns being "deducted" by a friend. To be fair, there are times when they come in handy, such as a player fumble in a key play, but the option was normally turned off when I played. The game modes are Exhibition, Franchise and the classic Superstar. There are really no changes to these modes and anyone who played last years will be right at home. Two new additions however come in the shape of Madden Moments and Online Leagues. Online Leagues works well and is rather self explanatory. Graphically the game has been improved, for example the player models are enhanced with the arms and hands working independently of the core body. This improves the visuals when a player throws or reaches for the ball and greatly raises the realism levels. Running and lower body movements have also been improved from the 08 version. For example you now have more influence when breaking out of a tackle. Once the animation begins you can hit a face button or flick the right stick to attempt to break free. If you mess up with the timing or motion, the player makes the effort to escape but strains and fails. These are all nice little touches which never fail to impress. The grass has been redesigned from the ground up and the texturing and lighting really show the differences. You will be surprised how something which sounds so minor on paper actually improves the whole visual impact during a game. There is also a new camera angle which does a great job of keeping the action in front while delivering a greater sense of size in relation to the stadium and the crowd. With regards to the differences between the consoles, they are very minor and both actually appear to be using some form of anti aliasing, as the edges seem much smoother than last year's version. Sure, PC aficionados will assuredly spot aliasing on some levels, but for a console they are very well presented. The animation is also top drawer with individual players moving with fluid and believable actions, and even though the odd time you get a "quirk" here and there, overall the graphics are top drawer. Madden 09, believe it or not is more than just a minor upgrade, this version of the game is the most polished and plays extremely well. I would go as far to say that this is actually probably one of the finest sports games in history. If you are in anyway a fan of American Football then this should be in your list of games to get this month. Gameplay 94/100 Madden is always good, but this year it is the best yet. Some of the best action and movement seen in a sports game. Ever. Graphics 94/100 The animations, new player models and visual detail and presentation is stellar. If you have a large HD tv, then make sure you get this game. Sound 85/100 With the addition of Hammond and Collinsworth the soundtrack takes on new life. The rest of the audio is pretty much par for the course. Value 88/100 If you enjoy these games every year, then you will still be playing it when Madden 10 arrives. Overall (not an average) 93/100 One every sports fan needs to purchase. Share On

Batting: Right hand batsman
Bowling: Right arm off-break
Player Cricinfo: View Profile
The selection of Dane Piedt as part of the South African test squad for the tour of India was an acknowledgement of the form that saw the Cape Cobras off-spinner take 11 wickets in the unofficial test series between South Africa and India A in 2015.
In the final test in Delhi, the off-spinner impressed by taking 4-117 in 38 economical overs. He captured four of the first six wickets to fall and his name was subsequently pencilled in as the only specialist spinner in the South African test squad for the first two matches of the series against England.
Piedt took eight for 152 on test debut for South Africa against Zimbabwe in 2014, but suffered a shoulder injury which curbed his progress.
Mentally and physically, he struggled to operate at maximum levels upon his return, but the two five-wicket hauls for South Africa A proved to all and sundry that he was on the comeback-trail.
A product of SACS, Piedt was a prominent member of the Western Province schools team in 2008.
The off-spinner and useful lower order batsman made his debut for Western Province in 2011/2012.
What makes Piedt unusual, is that he complements the regular art of turning the ball prodigiously into the right-hander, with the doosra (which means that the ball spins in the other direction to the regular off-break. It means the other one or the second one in Hindi and Urdu).
He also uses the arm ball to bamboozle batsmen.
Piedt was sensational in the 2013/2014-season. He captured 45 wickets in eight matches at an average of 19.93 and a strike-rate of 47.7.
His tally contributed a hat-trick against the Sunfoil Dolphins in Paarl.
Such was his impact, that Piedt attracted the attention of the national selectors.
He was included in the South African test squad for the series against Sri Lanka.
Piedt had to wait until the one-off test against Zimbabwe to make his test debut.
With his first delivery, he trapped Mark Vermeulen leg before wicket to become the second South African to achieve this feat in test cricket, and the first in 108 years.
It was the 19th time a bowler has had success with the first ball of his career in test history.
Afterwards, the 24-year old remarked that he had hardly used his doosra as a means to unsettle or outmanoeuvre the batsmen.

Exclusive Premiere! Hear Boys Night Out's New Song "Lust Phenomenon"Wednesday, June 22nd, 2016
Burlington, ON's Boys Night Out, among the kings of '00s post-hardcore, have returned with their first new music in almost a decade: new EP Black Dogs will be released July 8th on Good Fight Music.
As a special preview, you can now listen to the new song "Lust Phenomenon" below via Soundcloud.
Of the rebirth of the band, vocalist Connor Lovat-Fraser says, "None of us really knew when or if this day would come, but I'm fairly goddamn sure that we all hoped it would… We may not be touring again any time soon but it's pretty fucking rad to have the opportunity to write music together again."
Black Dogs is a collection of six perfectly-crafted rock songs. Shades of classic rock and Britpop elevate the band's emo-rooted sound to a new level.
Guitarist Jeff Davis explains the concept behind the new EP: "The title Black Dogs is a metaphor for pain, addiction, depression. It follows a concept that those negative aspects of the psyche are separate from the individual, and are carried around as an external being or unwanted friend– a black dog."
The alliance between Boys Night Out and the Good Fight Music team extends back to the early '00s. Founded in 2000 in Burlington, ON, the band put out six releases between 2000 and 2007, including four on Ferret Music, the label owned and operated by the guys who would go on to form Good Fight. The band burned bright through those years, touring the world with My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, Saves the Day, and other big names of that era.
Good Fight owner Carl Severson has said, "Boys Night Out were some of the most creative, passionate, and honest musicians I ever worked with. They just wanted to write and play and have fun, and they stopped when it didn't feel right anymore. I always respected that. They wrote this new EP, Black Dogs, because years later it felt right again, and I'm honored we're able to be a part of their music again."
Black Dogs was engineered and mixed by Derek Hoffman (Seaway, Stick to Your Guns) at Fox Sounds in Toronto, and mastered by Alan Douches (Converge, Brand New) at West West Side.
The tracklist is as follows:
1) Of Waves
2) Carried Away
3) Obsequiarch
4) Deadman Songs
5) Lust Phenomenon
6) Prayed All Wrong

Well now, it's been about two months since we've heard the Call of Duty Hype Train's ear-piercing whistle, so here's the official "gameplay launch trailer" to make sure we remember there's a new CoD coming in early November.
I'm assuming that the video's "gameplay launch trailer" label indicates that we're going to see more than one "launch trailer". Up next will likely be the "Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare Official Story Launch Trailer", which will be followed by the "Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare Official Multiplayer Launch Trailer". If we're lucky we'll get a "Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare Official Kevin Spacey Launch Trailer" as well.
You can check it out after the jump. While it makes for your typical launch trailer stuff (complete with raspy alternate rock backing track, a "hu-rah!" and liberal doses of bullet-bullet-guns) you got to admit this looks like the most interesting single-player CoD campaign since Black Ops. Or maybe I'm just a sucker for bullet-bullet-guns and Kevin Spacey?

The courtship is awkward, given that the two parties haven't even had a first date. But officials from the city of Cleveland and Cuyahoga County say they are willing to talk about a merger of their general-aviation airports.
City Port Control Director Ricky Smith made the first overture last week, when he suggested that the region would be best served by the county closing its airport in Richmond Heights and bringing that operation to Burke Lakefront Airport in downtown Cleveland.
"If we're going to have a premier general-aviation facility in this region, then we need to pull the region's resources around the facility that has the best chances offering that level of service," Smith said in an interview.
County officials aren't ready to embrace Smith's idea, but they aren't dismissing it. County Commissioner Peter Lawson Jones said it's something the new county council might want to explore after forming next year.
"I think some coordination among all the regional airports would be sensible," Jones said. "Rather than compete, how can we complement each other?"
Jones and county Economic Development Director Paul Oyaski said Smith should consider the reverse scenario -- closing Burke and moving its operations to Richmond Heights. Jones said the "joker in the deck" is the Federal Aviation Administration.
"As the city of Cleveland found, it could not close Burke without paying back substantial amounts of federal money," he said.
FAA spokeswoman Elizabeth Isham Cory said a merger would require more than money. Both Burke and the county airport have received FAA grants to purchase land, Cory said. That makes the airports contractually obligated to remain open indefinitely.
"That was clearly spelled out when they signed the paperwork and accepted the check," Cory said.
The FAA wants both airports to remain open. But if the city and county are serious about merging their operations, they would need to start talking with the FAA and its attorneys, Cory said.
Smith said regional airports across the country have been struggling during the economic downturn. If Burke and Cuyahoga County were to merge, Burke has advantages that make it the best location for a combined airport, Smith said. Those advantages include:
"I think if you look at general-aviation airports across the country or region, it would be difficult to find one with the combination of those features, especially the instrument landing system," Smith said.
While Smith's plan calls for closing Cuyahoga County Airport, others have talked about closing Burke. Some urban planners view the airport's 550 acres along Lake Erie as prime location for a mix of housing, retail and recreational use.
Mayor Frank Jackson committed to keeping Burke open after taking office in 2006.
Both airports serve primarily corporate and private aircraft. And both have seen significant drops in activity the last few years.
Takeoffs and landings, referred to as operations, totaled 34,000 at Cuyahoga County Airport last year, a 13 percent drop from 2008. That compares with 55,000 operations in 2005.
Burke had 68,000 operations last year, a 9 percent drop from 2008.
At 660 acres, the county airport is larger than Burke, but its runway is 1,000 feet shorter. As part of the latest master plan, Cuyahoga County has proposed extending the runway by 900 feet and adding 600 feet of buffer space to meet FAA safety mandates. That project would cost $32 million and would require the rerouting of Bishop and Richmond roads.
Residents in the nearby Hillcrest area and neighboring Lake County have been vocal opponents of the runway extension. The mayor of Willoughby Hills last year offered to buy the airport but balked at the county's asking price of $100 million.
County Airport Director Kevin Delaney also said a merger with Burke is worth discussing.
"We all have our niche," Delaney said. "That's why it's hard to say if there's too much airport. Our niche is businesses that reside on the East Side."

Sue has been the Field Museum's defining attraction since the skeleton was acquired in 1997. It is the most complete Tyrannosaurus yet found, but it is also more than a natural history specimen. Sue is part of the pantheon of Chicago landmarks, and the public's association of the mount with the city it resides in has all but eclipsed the legal battle that preceeded it's acquisition.Nevertheless, the Sue mount that has been on display for 17 years is not perfect. Assembled by Phil Fraley Productions, the mount has been the subject of grumbling among tyrannosaur specialists for years: the coracoids are too far apart, the furcula is incorrectly placed, the posterior ribs are unnaturally bowed out, and so forth. Happily, Sue will be getting thoroughly updated during the move. In addition to correcting the various anatomical problems, the new mount will reintroduce Sue to its gastralia (belly ribs), which have been displayed separately since 2000, and change her crouching pose to a standing one. As Collections Manager Bill Simpson explains in the announcement video, "we now know more about how a T. rex skeleton should look and Sue is going to reflect those changes."
Sue 2.0 will take over the second floor space occupied by the recently shuttered 3-D theater. Accessible as an annex to the dinosaur section of Evolving Planet, the Sue exhibit will contextualize the Tyrannosaurus with other fossils from the Hell Creek Formation.Patagotitan is the same animal that the American Museum of Natural History billed as "the titanosaur" two years ago. Argentina's newest megasauropod was first announced in 2014 but was formally named and published by José Carballido and colleagues just three weeks ago. While not technically the biggest known sauropod, Patagotitan is the only dinosaur in its class known from reasonably complete remains. The skeleton itself will be more or less identical to the cast Research Casting International produced for AMNH. However, instead of being crammed into a small room, this Patagotitan will have space to stretch out, its neck craning to look over the second story mezzanine. The Field Museum exhibits team also wants visitors to be able to walk under and even touch the cast skeleton.
What do I think about all this (asked nobody)? I'm thrilled with the plans for Sue – it's great that even though Sue is such an important symbol for the Field Museum, they don't consider it a static piece. Much credit is due for the museum's willingness to invest in their star attraction by keeping it up to the latest scientific standard. In addition, I never entirely liked how disassociated Sue was from the rest of the paleontology displays, and it's nice to know that somebody at the museum must have felt the same way. There's something to be said for giving the skeleton pride of place, but ultimately I think museumgoers will be better served by seeing Sue contextualized within the story of life on Earth.
While I love me some megasauropods, I can't help but be less excited by the Patagotitan. I realize that most people don't go to every natural history museum, but two identical casts already exist. To be fair, the Field Museum Patagotitan will be in a very different setting from its AMNH predecessor (although it may turn out rather like the Royal Ontario Museum Futalognkosaurus). Still, I would rather have seen something more unique to the Field Museum. One idea would be to bring back the Brachiosaurus reconstruction, and display it side-by-side with a remount of the historic Apatosaurus currently in Evolving Planet. Both specimens are tied to the museum's own expeditionary history, and together would tell the remarkable story of Elmer Riggs. The Apatosaurus in particular could anchor a Field Museum retrospective, while images of the three different locations it has been displayed in since 1908.Somebody more cynical than me might point out that switching up iconic displays is becoming a predictable way for museums to generate press and manufacture controversy. For example, the Natural History Museum in London got no less than three media splashes when they announced Dippy the Diplodocus was to be replaced, actually removed Dippy, and finally unveiled the remounted blue whale in Hintze Hall earlier this summer. Nevertheless, there is a strong case to be made that stirring up public reactions in this way is an effective way to keep the people interested in their museums. As Field Museum president Richard Lariviere told the Chicago Tribune, "the public doesn't understand that the science…we convey is changing on an almost hourly basis here. I talk to people all the time who think that since they've been to the Field Museum 10 years ago they've seen it. By transforming the central space, we hope to convey that exact message."
At any rate, we're in for some great new dinosaur displays at the Field Museum over the next couple years. What do you think of the upcoming changes?

If I Had You Lyrics
Artist: Carpenters
Album: Lovelines
I wouldn't have the TV in the bedroom
I wouldn't have this teardrop in my eye
I wouldn't need the radio to be my lullaby

I wouldn't need the sun to light the morning
If I could have your love to light my night
I'd never for a second keep our love from burnin' bright
If I had you in my life
(*) If I had you again
I wouldn't be the fool I've been
If I had you again
I'd never let the lovin' end
If I had you again
I'd show you baby you're the only one
So say that you believe in second chances
And say you'll let me be with you tonight
(*) If you'll take my hand I'll show you just how love
Ccould be so right
If I had you, if I had you

Ballad of Narayama, The (1958)
Review #1,219
Director: Keisuke Kinoshita
Cast: Kinuyo Tanaka, Teiji Takahashi, Yûko Mochizuki
Plot: In Kabuki style, the film tells the story of a remote mountain village where the scarcity of food leads to a voluntary but socially-enforced policy in which relatives carry 70-year-old family members up Narayama mountain to die. Granny Orin is approaching 70, content to embrace her fate.
Genre: Drama
Awards: Nom. for Golden Lion (Venice).
Runtime: 98min
Rating: PG
International Sales: Shochiku
IN RETROSPECT (Spoilers: NO)
There's something funereal about Ballad of Narayama. It feels like someone has died, when it is very much a journey towards death. Based on the 1956 novella written by Shichiro Fukazawa, the film centers on a mountainous village stricken with poverty. There's severe food shortage, and every additional mouth to feed is of tremendous burden to families. To solve (or rather alleviate) the problem, an age-old tradition dictates that all elderly reaching 70 years old would have to climb up Mount Narayama to die.
That is really the plot of Keisuke Kinoshita's masterful rumination on themes of death, family and abandonment. It is very depressing, but is essential viewing for all who love cinema. Shot and staged in a studio set with intentional artifice – the intoxicating use of lighting, colour and music call attention to the film's formal qualities, Ballad of Narayama is something akin to a filmed play.
A narrator introduces the story, and the curtains are drawn open to reveal a set. The music seems to mirror a kind of 'live' effect, while lighting is dropped as we proceed to another chapter of the story. Whilst I was seeing the film, I am constantly reminded of when I was little when I was brought by my grandparents to see traditional Teochew opera.
Kinoshita's Kabuki-inflected piece with a singing narrator and heavy use of shamisen (a plucked Japanese instrument often played by geishas) is perhaps one of the most prominent examples of cultural-specific cinema of the purest order. It may also come across as uncomfortable, even dissonant to those without some cultural context.
I must admit I was taken aback by the stage-like treatment and experimental form, but am enthralled by the performances, especially that of the legendary Kinuyo Tanaka (The Life of Oharu, 1952; Ugetsu, 1953) who plays Granny Orin. Orin, approaching seventy, must make the ultimate sacrifice, but would it be a dignified exit?
In the golden age of Japanese cinema that was the 1950s, Ballad of Narayama is easily one of the period's most haunting works. Shohei Imamura revisioned the story in a different, no less powerful, form that won the Cannes Palme d'Or in 1983. But there's no taking away Kinoshita's singular and innovative film that continues to be a monumental work of art. A must-watch.
Verdict: Staged with intentional artifice through an intoxicating mix of lighting, colour and music, Kinoshita's monumental piece is easily one of the most haunting works of postwar Japanese cinema.

Knowledge comes but wisdom lingers - Tennyson
At IISJ, we believe that there is a brilliant child locked inside each student. Our students love coming to school everyday as we provide a happy and healthy environment that is caring, nurturing and supportive of all those who work and study in our school. Our educational methodology is built on the understanding that when children enjoy what they are doing, they learn more. With this in mind every activity is made educational as well as enjoyable. Our students continuously learn and retain not just write and memorize. They are encouraged to verbalize and voice their opinions and ideas, which in turn helps us to meet the distinctive needs of every individual student. Our objective here is to gently train and teach our students to believe in themselves as learners and as individuals.
At IISJ, the curriculum of the primary school is thought of in terms of activity and experience rather than of knowledge to be acquired and facts to be stored. Our comprehensive teaching methodology in English, Science, Social Studies, Math, Computer Science, Language, Physical Education, Music and Art and Craft seeks to ensure a deep understanding of each subject, alongside the project method. We aim to enable students to acquire extensive and an all-encompassing knowledge, leading to improved performance in competitive examinations. We also believe that non-academic activities make a vital contribution in helping students develop good values, foster self-confidence and help in personality development. Towards this goal, we have developed various extra-curricular activities at IISJ with specialist teachers which excel at bringing out the best in every child and enable him/her to take pride in himself/herself.
At IISJ, we strive to instill in every student that the yearning to learn is the ultimate key to victory and that with a strong belief in oneself there can be no barrier to success.

The writers of the 2000 hit comedy "Miss Congeniality" received inspiration for the Sandra Bullock flick from an unusual place: Ellen DeGeneres. The Oscar host revealed in a new interview with Parade that her attempt to waltz around in a dress and heels prompted the tale of Gracie Hart, the FBI agent who goes undercover at a beauty pageant to stifle a bomb threat.
"'Miss Congeniality' was written based on me," DeGeneres said. "When I was getting ready to co-host the Emmys, the writer saw me [on TV] learning how to walk in a dress and heels. My stylist at the time -- a man -- was teaching me, and it was hilarious. The 'Miss Congeniality' writer saw it and thought it was brilliant."
In addition to revealing that Bullock's character is basically a DeGeneres derivation, the talk-show host noted that she once beat out Jennifer Aniston for a role. Her supporting part in the 1999 Ron Howard comedy "EDtv," starring Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson, finds her playing a TV producer who's responsible for an early iteration of reality programming -- but the role could have belonged to the "Friends" star instead.
"Jen Aniston is my friend and she recently reminded me that I beat her out of that," DeGeneres said. "I got the part and Jen Aniston didn't! That'll probably be the only time that happens."

Let's Discuss the Ending of The Grey
Spoilers abound!
The marketing campaign for The Grey has tried to sell it like it's the kind of movie that you've seen before: Liam Neeson gets angry, gets revenge, and busts some skulls in imaginative fashion. The ostensible twist here is that instead of beating up on Eastern European henchman who have kidnapped his wife and/or daughter, Neeson is this time facing off against wolves. Punch those wolves, Liam! Knock 'em in the jaw with your fists, aided by the broken glass you've strapped to your knuckles! Assert your dominance over the animal kingdom!
So ... let's talk about that ending.
(Obviously, spoilers will follow.)
The thing about The Grey is that it really isn't that kind of movie. There is not much wolf-killing, or even wolf-punching! Instead, Neeson and his comrades, trapped in the deserted, snowy wild after a harrowing plane crash, are hunted and picked off by the wolves one-by-one ... and the movie ends with Neeson, the only one left, making his doomed last stand. That shot of Neeson getting ready to punch some wolves? It's the last image of the movie, an "I'll die fighting" rallying cry rather than an excitingly silly second-act set piece.
Serious kudos, then, to The Grey and its filmmaker Joe Carnahan: It's not easy to get away with an existential action movie where everyone basically dies! Audiences may feel a little bit cheated by that ad campaign, which made wolf-punching its cornerstone image — imagine if Melancholia and Martha Marcy May Marlene had placed equal emphasis on their final shots! — but that's not the fault of the movie itself. And hey, Miley Cyrus loved it! "Wow," she tweeted. "The best movie I've seen in a long time! It's a must see!" (Well, much like those wolves, Cyrus can't be tamed.)

Napa Sanitation District's engineers work with residents to ensure that their project can safely connect to the sewer system. When you apply for a permit at the City or County of Napa, if your project is in the NSD service area you may be directed to bring your project designs to the District as well. This also applies to any type of changes a home owner might make to their sewer lines. See our building/remodel/addition handout for more information.
The process for connecting to the Napa Sanitation District sewer system is guided by District Code Title 3. All sewer design and construction must conform to the ordinance and the District's Sanitary Sewer Standards. Permits and processes described on the pages linked below are intended to be general information for typical applications. Please contact District Engineering staff at (707) 258-6000 for additional information or clarifications.
This section is where you can find information on permits for the repair or replacement of private lateral lines, permits needed for new construction and demolition permits.
For residents whose private sewer lateral needs to be repaired or replaced due to earthquake damage, the District will waive permit fees and inspection fees. Please note that a permit and inspection are still required - it is only the fee that is waived. Permits can be issued by an inspector in the field. For more information please call (707) 258-6000.
This is where you can find information on the Standard Specifications for connecting a new project to the sewer system, converting septic sytems to a sanitary sewer connection, and annexation into the NSD service area.

The General Assembly marches ever onward in its quest to make it as difficult as possible for people to protect themselves from cigarette smoke.
On Friday, a House committee passed legislation depriving local governments of authority to protect their residents' health and pocketbooks from the dangers of cigarette smoke. One bill prevents localities and the state from requiring tobacco abstention as a condition of employment, with the exception of police and firefighters; the other bars localities from restricting smoking in many areas open to the public.
