HONG KONG--(Marketwire - Oct 28, 2011) - Today, www.WorldStreetFundamentals.com released its industry report highlighting DG FastChannel Inc. (NASDAQ: DGIT) and Interpublic Group of Companies, Inc. (NYSE: IPG). Full fundamental and technical analysis is available at www.WorldStreetFundamentals.com/Reports.php?id=DGIT+IPG.
Short-term outlooks within US and global economies continue to adjust downward, as US Treasury yields touched their lowest levels in over 65 years. International Monetary Fund downgraded estimates for US growth by 1.0% this year, down from 2.5%. 'Significant downside risks' to the US economy were confirmed by the Federal Reserve pressured by 'strains in global financial markets.'
As the US dollar trades above an eight-month high against the Euro, it highlights a deepening of the Eurozone sovereign debt crisis -- furthered by continued policy inaction from European governments. We expect continued volatility until economic data stabilizes and we see decisive policy action to deal with the Eurozone debt crisis.
Our members are preparing for a turn in tides. Currently, the Credit Suisse Risk Appetite Indicator is at a 30-year low. For the past three occurrences, this level has acted as a leading indicator of large stock market rallies 18 months following.

Beginning a conversation with a confrontation almost always results in an emotional denial by the subject. From a guilty subject the denial is a lie, and from an innocent subject the denial stems from fear of being disbelieved. Either way, the conversation has begun with emotional pressure on the subject resulting in an adversarial relationship with the interviewer. A more effective way to identify the truth is through a variety of non-confrontational techniques that allow the conversation to remain cordial without pushing the subject into an emotional or defensive state.
Our focus is on providing investigators with methods that are aimed at identifying the truth and obtaining reliable information through ethical, moral and legally acceptable techniques. This focus has been supported by multiple non-confrontational methods taught to our attendees for the past 35 years. The high risk of false confessions, potential for incorrect or unreliable information, and ultimately the misapplication of confrontational techniques are all reasons why WZ has chosen to no longer offer the confrontational approach in its course selections.
The goal of any interviewer should be to identify the truth. Unfortunately, investigators have sometimes felt pressure to obtain a confession or may have biases based on the investigation that direct their focus on the wrong subject. Our mission at WZ is to provide investigators with a variety of tools to obtain truthful, reliable information as a part of their investigation. WZ is also dedicating time during training to discuss precautions for investigators to take in an effort to prevent false confessions and ultimately substantiate any admissions made by the subject.

Movie Review: G.I. JOE – RETALIATION
Review: G.I. Joe – Retaliation / Cert: 12A / Director: Jon M. Chu / Screenplay: Rhett Reese, Paul Wernick / Starring: Dwayne Johnson, Bruce Willis, D.J. Cotrona, Channing Tatum, Jonathan Pryce, Ray Stevenson, Ray Park / Release Date: Out Now
It's all kicking off in G.I. Joe: Retaliation, the long awaited, much delayed sequel to 2009's enjoyable-despite-itself The Rise of Cobra. Following a screening of footage from Retaliation last summer, Starburst's hopes were high that this second entry in what's clearly intended to be a long-running action movie franchise might have a slicker script, a cleverer storyline and a bit more decent characterisation than the slam-bam 'let's blow up Paris for the Hell of it' original. But it was not to be. Retaliation is pretty much a movie full of bald, muscular men running around grunting and firing guns while the token female in the cast gets the chance to strip down to her underwear once or twice; oh, and London gets it this time but that's okay because it's not in America.
The plot? Well, there is one, after a fashion. The hard of remembering are reintroduced to the G.I. Joe squad in a sequence which is virtually 'top trumps' on the big screen and we're reminded that the nefarious Cobra organisation has infiltrated the White House and replaced the President with an evil double (played by Jonathan Pryce, whose tongue is virtually protruding through his cheek throughout the entire movie – the scene where he plays Angry Birds on his mobile phone as the world teeters on the edge of nuclear Armageddon is nearly enough to justify the film's existence). The GI Joe squad is quickly wiped out on the false Pres's orders and it's up to new Joe on the block Dwayne (The Rock) Johnson to organise those who have survived into a crack force to thwart Cobra's devilish (and rather self-defeating) scheme to plunge the world into nuclear chaos. His plan involves chasing off to the Himalayas (and the one action set-piece which genuinely thrills) and recruiting the original GI Joe; welcome aboard Mr Bruce Willis, who looks not so much as if he's phoning it in but rather texting it. Before long Dwayne (who thankfully resists any urge to flex his pecs) and Bruce are rushing about shooting down similarly bald security guards and blowing up pretty much everything in sight in their haste to get to the end credits and sign up for the inevitable sequel.
To its credit, GI Joe: Retaliation isn't as fist-clenchingly dumb as last year's Battleship (sorry to bring that one up again) but neither is it as gloriously silly as the guilty pleasure which as The Rise of Cobra. The script rarely rises above the monosyllabic, the spectacle just becomes a rush of explosions and bangs and flashes but, oddly, the 3D conversion which caused the ninth month delay in the film's release does actually work wonders in at least holding the attention when it might otherwise wander towards the theatre exit sign. Ultimately it's a waste of actors who really deserve better because they've got genuine presence; Dwayne can actually act a bit, Bruce is usually good for a few moody glowers and one-liners and Britain's Ray Stevenson, scorching in series seven of Dexter, just gets lost in a rush of admittedly well choreographed but exhausting-to-watch fight sequences. Astonishingly this empty vessel looks set to rake in even more than its predecessor at the box office and toy manufacturers Hasbro, at least, will have cause to celebrate the news that a third G.I. Joe has already been greenlit. We can hardly wait.

At a time when many big banks, savings and loans and brokerage houses are targeting affluent, Daddy Warbucks-type customers, a non-profit, grass-roots segment of the financial community is doing very well catering to the little guy.
Reflecting the ability to provide competitively priced, consumer- oriented services -- and the continuation from last year of a relatively strong economy in South Florida and nationwide -- many credit unions have turned in impressive double-digit results so far this year.
``This year has just been outstanding, and it`s almost a blueprint of the previous year,`` said Al Austin, president of Palm Beach County`s largest financial cooperative, the IBM Southeast Employees Federal Credit Union.
Meanwhile, some credit unions are expanding their rosters to include lawyers and other occupational groups quite different from their traditional membership base. They are taking advantage of their highly personalized service and their closeness to their customer-members. And many are considering the addition of new items to their range of services, from student loans and various insurance packages to discount brokerages.
Currently, most credit unions don`t have such an array of features. But the industry is ``working in the direction of becoming full- service financial institutions,`` said Roger Bradley, president of Gold Coast Federal Credit Union in West Palm Beach -- one of 47 credit unions in Broward and Palm Beach counties. ``We`ve taken the place of the small-time banks,`` he said.
Difficulties remain, however, despite solid asset growth in the range of 20 to 25 percent for many credit unions over the past four or five years. Consolidation, often prompted by the demand for more services than a small cooperative can afford, continues as workers lose jobs in industries hard-hit by foreign competition.
Business can fluctuate as well. Auto loans, for example, which account for about 40 percent of a typical credit union`s loan volume, were crimped this fall by special incentive rates offered by car-makers. ``Normally one would expect credit unions to be 88 percent loaned out`` -- of the total amount available for loans -- at this point in the year, said Tom Burchnell, president of the Florida Credit Union League, the trade association for the 470 credit unions in the state.

Range x Jungmaven Capsule Collection
American-made, hemp and cotton blend t-shirts fit for the campsite and around town
When it comes to getting outside, technical apparel ins't always required. Hell, most the hiking we do is done while wearing Vans and Levi's. This isn't any sort of rebellion against tech, it's more an exercise in practicality. Leaving cell service and exploring remote areas of wilderness is absolutely something we encourage (with the proper education of course) and do ourselves, but it's not a thing most of us can do often. Cus, you know, jobs, and cars and rent and hangovers and stuff. So we're hyped when we see brands acknowledging that many of us outdoorsy types actually do spend most our lives in the city and want to look and feel good regardless of our surroundings. Case in point, the recently introduced Rangemaven Capsule from our pals at Range and Jungmaven, designed specifically with the modern outdoors woman in mind.
The modest collection consists of four limited-edition t-shirt silhouettes made in the USA with a help and organic cotton blend, including three lightweight t-shirts and a 3/4 sleeve Raglan. Both are incredibly soft and naturally durable (shout out hemp). See the shirts for yourself in the equally brief lookbook shot by the talented Jules Davies and Chelsea Parrett while in Joshua Tree this past month. The vibes are right, here, you guys. Don't miss it.

The Life of Pi (Harcourt, 2001; 326) by Yann Martel won the Man Booker Prize in 2001. It is about the story of faith, struggle and belief in oneself and in the supernatural. It's also about man's relationship with animals and provides some excellent justification for the creation of zoos. It's also an allegory, perhaps, of the journey towards manhood; with the shipwreck and the struggle to survive at sea representative of the adolescent stage.
Eleven-year old Piscine Molitor Patel is travelling with his parents as they relocate to Canada. They ship they were travelling in sank and through a series of incidences, some of them not directly observed by Piscince (or Pi), he found himself with a hyena, a zebra with a broken leg, an orang-utan, and a Bengal tiger on his lifeboat. What ensued was a series of carnivorous expressions and after a few days floating at sea, it was left with Pi and his Bengal tiger. The mission was on how to 'tame' the 450-pound monstrosity.
As the story of a man at sea, Yann Martel found a way of turning what would have been a bathos and sombrous narrative to a lively and sometimes humorous story. The story of Pi, narrated in the first-person to the author when the former called upon him at his home in Canada, is sometimes oneiric, sometimes sad and sometimes utterly unbelievable. Pi's meeting of a French castaway when he was blind but managed to murder him before he was murdered could easily pass as a story of a deeply delusional person. These and some overtly miraculous incidences, such as the sharing of space with such an animal as a Bengal tiger, made Pi's story somewhat preternatural. But reality itself is an interpretation of the mind and what could pass as reality for one person could be fictitious to the other.
The 'Author's Note' at the beginning of the story offers a deceptive introduction to the story. It pushes the reader into double-checking if the story is a work of fiction or the memoir of a man who actually lived. Yann Martel described how he wanted to write a certain kind of book but failed only to be led to this by a resident of Pondicherry. In fact, even in the story he told his own story about his meeting Pi and described his family. Thus, Martel made appearances in Pi's story. Again, the chapters were of various lengths, some as long as two lines.
The Life of Pi is an interesting story that must be read by all. Hope the movie adaptation does not poorly represent the book. It's recommended.

A defiant innings by AB de Villiers held up England's charge towards victory on the fourth day of the fourth and final Test against South Africa at the Oval Sunday.
South Africa were 265 for seven in their second innings at tea, a lead of 143.
De Villiers, who went to the wicket when his side were only 16 runs ahead with four wickets down, hit 76 not out as he stood between England and a consolation victory in a series already won by South Africa.
But there was hardly any support for De Villiers after fast bowler Steve Harmison struck two crucial blows early in the day.
Harmison dismissed both overnight batsmen, Hashim Amla and Jacques Kallis, in a hostile eight-over spell in which he took two wickets for 12 runs.
Amla was out for 76 to the 19th ball of the day when he was forced on to the back foot by a lifting delivery from Harmison which he edged to wicketkeeper Tim Ambrose. He added only five runs Sunday.
Kallis never looked settled against the pace and bounce of Harmison and the swing of James Anderson. He had an escape on nine when he drove Harmison low to wide mid-off where England captain Kevin Pietersen dropped the chance.
But he was out next ball without adding to his score when he edged Harmison low to Paul Collingwood at third slip.
For Kallis, long regarded as South Africa's most reliable batsman, it completed his least successful series since he became an established Test player. In seven innings he scored 104 runs at an average of 14.85, with 64 of his runs coming in one innings in the third Test. He was the only member of the South African top six in the batting order not to score a century during the series.
Ashwell Prince was troubled early on by Harmison but seemed fairly secure as he advanced to 24. But then he slashed at a short ball from Andrew Flintoff and edged a catch to Andrew Strauss at first slip.
Mark Boucher helped De Villiers add 40 for the sixth wicket before Anderson extracted extra bounce from the pitch and Boucher was caught off the splice of his bat by Collingwood at backward point.
Morne Morkel was caught at short leg off left-arm spinner Monty Panesar before Paul Harris joined De Villiers in a stand which was worth 47 by tea despite England taking the second new ball five overs before the break.
De Villiers holds up England victory charge

My parents purchased our home in Brentwood in 1941 and it was a terrific place for my family to grow. When I had to make a decision regarding the sale of our home, it was not made without dread of the process… packing, cleaning, and most of all the choice of a firm to buy the house, which by this time needed much TLC… being sold as-is. Multiple bids were received but because of your honesty, straightforwardness, and flexibility put me as ease. The entire process took less than a month and we were able to close with no surprises along the way.
We buy houses as-is, multi-family properties as-is, apartment buildings as-is, condos and commercial properties throughout St. Louis, MO. We buy properties as-is with no improvements required by you.

Early on A mid-October Saturday, fog cloaks our suburban neighborhood in gray. But even this misty haze cannot extinguish the blazing glory of the maple trees lining the street. Who needs Old Sol on a day like this? Canopies of radiant red and gold leaves glow from within, as if lighted by their own private sun.
This autumnal glow comes as an especially welcome gift these days. Has the October landscape ever seemed more poignantly beautiful than it does after a month of national mourning? The soft light and brilliant colors serve as comforting antidotes to the somber news coming out of Washington and Kabul.
But this is also a time of mixed messages from Washington. Get out and enjoy life, the president urges, while the FBI warns: Beware of terrorists. On this crisp Saturday west of Boston, the president's message appears to be winning out, judging by the crowds celebrating the beauty and bounty of the season.
For some residents, one of the best destinations is a popular farm stand. Chrysanthemums, their blossoms a profusion of yellows and rusts and crimsons, fill a greenhouse. Nearby, a large sign boasts: "Over 37 varieties of apples available today." Adjacent bins display squash bearing poetic names - Green Hubbard, Sweet Dumpling, Carnival.
Other suburbanites gravitate to harvest festivals, craft fairs, and nature hikes. The front lawn of the Methodist church has metamorphosed into something called the Pumpkin Patch, with hundreds of pumpkins for sale.
Elsewhere, handmade signs tacked to telephone poles announce another favorite fall pastime, yard sales. At one, it is hard to say who looks more triumphant - the homeowner who has just sold a large vase or the buyer carrying it to her car. For both, at this moment, war in Afghanistan is probably far from their thoughts.
In a neighboring suburb, a Pumpkin Fair at an elementary school draws hundreds of families. Parents, grandparents, students, babies, and even a few dogs fill the schoolyard. Spirits run high as children line up for games ranging from Halloween Hockey and Catch a Ghost to miniature golf dubbed Howl in One.
Small pleasures, to be sure. Yet these activities gently challenge the cliché that everything has changed since Sept. 11.
Autumn is typically a time of endings, Mother Nature's last burst of energy before the landscape turns bare and days grow short. This year, against the backdrop of terrorism and war, autumn offers something more: a new beginning, an affirmation of life and light after the darkness of September.
Here and there, it is also a season for humor. On Saturday afternoon, pumpkins line the steps of a church, where a wedding will soon begin. Befitting the occasion, someone has pinned a tiny veil to the pumpkin on the top step. What guests entering the church, or what drivers passing by, could fail to smile at that?
Similarly, who can fail to be amused by comic front-yard displays of Halloween ghosts, scarecrows, and witches? An is it only a coincidence that jack-o'-lanterns are all smiling this year?
Autumn makes its own demands, of course. There are leaves to rake, bulbs to plant, windows to wash. But even these chores serve as welcome diversions from all-war-all-the-time news.
Headlines and talk show discussions about airstrikes and anthrax promise to be a staple of American life for months to come, alas. But on a fall weekend, another message floats through the air as well. Don't wait, it whispers. Take time for a walk. Shuffle through leaves and sniff the sharp air. Pick apples. Carve a pumpkin. Cherish the beauty of mum plants on front steps and porches.
For a few hours at least, news of the war will have to wait. Autumn is calling.

I found these pictures on Reddit however nobody asked for a 1080×1920 version so no such picture was created, and I am positive that if I asked for it my post would be ignored (small fish in a big pond). I read in this //www.makeuseof.com/answers/convert-small-image-1920×1080/ post that if I sent my image to "Jay" he will respond with an edited upload of my image. But I'm an idiot and do not know where "here" is or what the +image option is. So can someone help me out here? I do not have photoshop. My images are 1024×768.
PS. If you send me a link for some image re-size program, I will likely ignore it due to the fact that most re-size programs can only make images smaller so that they take up less space and can be used for different things across the internet etc.
I have come to the conclusion that there is not a way to make smaller images a larger size without either making them look goofy as all heck, stretched, or pixely. I will just stick to looking for 1920x1080 origin wallpapers instead of trying to make the nice smaller sized ones 1920x1080. Thank you all for the responses.
Tony, I apologize, you cannot size up images in sizzlepig. The source file must be as large as the output file, otherwise the images will get skewed and look less than professional.
Try sizzlepig.com for free. You can make a folder of images into an unlimited number of sizes very fast. It's very simple and you control how each will look visually without needing to download software or having photoshop.
1. Put all of your images in one folder.
2. Place the folder in one of these: Box, Dropbox, Google Drive or your desktop.
3. Login to sizzlepig.com.
4. Make a project name.
5. Make a blueprint , pull the corners or type in the size (1920x1080)
(hint: if you want a copy for desktop and a copy for retina display check 2x, you will automatically get both)
6. Hit save.
7. You will now see all of your images resized and on one page.
8. If you want to crop or fine-tune an image you can do this while you are previewing, on the same page.
9. If you are happy with how they look, hit 'process'.
10. Go back to the folder where you placed the images, and you will have an 'output' folder that sizzlepig created.
(Hint: sizzlepig monitors cloud folders for any updates or revisions to files in those folders. If you add or edit images to/this cloud folder your saved settings will be applied.).
I attempted to use this but when I put my images into the website it would not let me edit them. Maybe a glitch?
Did not work for me.
Try this online converter http://www.coolutils.com/online/image-converter/ or download, try and/or purchase this desktop converter http://www.coolutils.com/TotalImageConverter. Both have Resize option, so you can specify image size
All the top link did was put black borders around my image to make the size 1920x1080 but did not actually make the image any different.
The bottom link clearly states "A handy resize option to make the photo smaller" ... I mean... I thought I was clear enough when I said "most re-size programs can only make images smaller" but I guess you did not read that part.
SmillaEnlarger 0.9.0
This did nothing but make my image "Sharp."
That apparently is synonymous with pixelated...
you have to go with GIMP...or photoshop for pro looking resized pictures.
It's nice how that was your first inclination, no?
"Let's not tell him about what works, let's toy him about a bit with a program that sucks >:D"
no intention in that regard, just enlarging with retaining quality is little time consuming with freeware, you have to try based on photo result is different, you can check the following and perhaps they can be of help.
The GIMP
6.15. Scale Image
Liquid Rescale plugin
Stairstep interpolation
FastStone Photo Resizer
Image Resize not expensive, use Bilinear, Bicubic (sharp and smooth) and Biquadratic method (sharp and smooth).
SizeFixer XL V2 free for a full 30 days
some use Fractals method an there should be plugin (guess not freeware) for photoshop
Image Analyzer 1.36.1 i think it has http://logicnet.dk/Analyzer/help/help3.htm filter (What's new in Image Analyzer 1.21)
· New high quality image enlargement method (super-resolution by Wiener filter)
for plugin
1) Install Image Analyzer
2)Open your Picture
3)Go to Operations
4)Size and Orientation
5)Resize then add your desired Width And Height, then Under Resampling Method try Wiener
There's an online resizer that allows you to select the size here:
This does not have a 1920x1080 option. Good try though.
Try iResizer - it will scale your image, and won't crop them like most programs would.
So it does not crop, but it stretches the hell out of it and makes it look totally wigged out. Sorry
I put up a link to the review, but it got moderated. It doesn't stretch images to make it blurry, it programatically stretches and resizes the background around the object that you want fixed.
Yeah I know, I marked the object that was important and the rest of the image was completely distorted. Maybe I did it wrong? I am not sure but I was thoroughly displeased with the result.
The commenting system that was in place at the time that post was created (Discus, I believe) allowd uploading of images, thus "here" really did mean in that particular thread and "+image" referred to the link to click to select and upload the image.
Instead of Photoshop, there are several other image editing tools that can be used to resize images, some better than others. There is The GIMP which is a free, open-source tool similar to Photoshop (including all of the complexity). It can also be done with Microsoft Paint which is included with all Microsoft operating systems. The Microsoft Office Picture Manager can do it as well. For the best results, using The GIMP is what I would recommend since it also includes tools to allow smoothing the resulting enlarged picture.

BOTH SIDES! Ahhh! We knew it!
Today Maritime New Zealand (MNZ), the organization conducting the investigation, released THIS report stating "[MNZ's] report into the collision between the New Zealand-registered whaling protest vessel Ady Gil and the Japanese vessel Shonan Maru No. 2 on 6 January 2010, found no evidence that either vessel master had deliberately caused the collision. However, both were responsible for contributing to and failing to respond to the "close quarters" situation that led to the accident."

TORRINGTON, CONN. — Sponsors said Wednesday that a film televised for the first time showing graphic scenes of an abortion drew praise from viewers and could help reduce violence against abortion clinics.
``We are against the violence. It`s deplorable,`` said the Rev. Pat Mahoney. ``Violence is never an answer to anything.``
In Washington, meanwhile, the nation`s Roman Catholic bishops on Wednesday condemned the recent rash of abortion-clinic bombings, calling such acts a symptom of ``the violence unleashed into society`` by abortion itself.
``These dangerous, ill-considered and deplorable incidents demonstrate once again the fact that violence begets violence,`` said Cardinal Joseph Bernardin of Chicago, in a statement on behalf of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops. Catholic church leaders are among the strongest foes of abortion.
The 28-minute film showing a suction abortion of a 12-week-old fetus made its national debut Tuesday night on a community access channel available to 18,500 viewers in northwest Connec-ticut.
It was filmed using ultrasound, which allows an internal examination without surgery by using high frequency sound waves that are refracted onto a viewing plate.
The film was introduced by Mahoney, who is host of a talk show on Laurel Cablevision. He is pastor of the New Covenant Church in Bristol, an interdenominational, fundamentalist church based in Pompano Beach and spokesman for Celebrate Life, a Hartford-based anti-abortion group.
Mahoney said the film could help ease grow-ing tensions and reduce violence that have led to the bombings of abortion clinics.
``Its showing is a release of frustration for those strongly opposed to abortion, who see human life being destroyed every day. There are some who might be `on the fringe` who see this film and say ah, finally the truth is being shown.``

Egypt formally complained to Israel about the opening of an Israeli luxury beach hotel on Taba beach, a small section of the Sinai that Egypt claims.
Egypt said Israel's opening of the hotel breached an agreement that the area should be left as a no man's land. President Hosni Mubarak said he was prepared to meet Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin for talks on settling disputes between their two countries. The Israeli Cabinet said it was prepared to resume talks on Taba, suspended since last May, only if they were part of talks on broader issues between the two countries.

Rick Perry Ad Generating Epic Hate on YouTube
Rick Perry's "Strong" ad has quickly worked its way up the list of the most disliked videos on YouTube. And, given the homophobic messaging, it's not hard to see why.
The ad already has more dislikes than the current version of Rebecca Black's "Friday." The original video was pulled and reposted after it garnered more than 1 million thumbs down.
Perry's ad may not actually have the highest number of dislikes of any YouTube video ever—that distinction is held by Justin Bieber's "Baby" video with over 2 million haters—but it nonetheless seems to be the most loathed video on the Web percentage-wise.
It may be that Perry and his campaign are completely out of touch with Internet culture, not to mention what century we're in, or maybe they've realized that the best way to get a video to go viral is to make it hateable.

Critic Reviews for White Elephant
All Critics (16) | Top Critics (3) | Fresh (16) | Rotten (0)
'White Elephant' throws us into the fray of an urban slum without in any way demonising or romanticising the theatre within which Trapero's meandering story unfolds.
[Trapero is] as thoughtful and perceptive a filmmaker as ever, using tools appropriate to the goal of drawing attention to systemic social ills.
Michael Nyman's sweepingly majestic score lends an epic dimension, which feels right alongside the straight-forward passion depicted by an evenly balanced, top-drawer cast.
The cinematography recalls the ground-breaking City Of God, from Brazil, but Trapero's film has a more spiritual element, being about the work of two priests trying to broker peace between warring drug cartels.
Produced on a grand scale, this powerhouse of a movie recounts a true story with skill and artistry, highlighting an extremely volatile situation and the brave people who put themselves in the middle of it.
Audience Reviews for White Elephant
Trapero delivers another hard-hitting drama with many wonderful long takes and Darín in a fantastic performance (as usual), depicting without concessions a hard reality where faith and commitment seem futile in a society dominated by an endemic neglect and lack of care.
Super Reviewer
After barely surviving a village massacre, Father Nicolas(Jeremie Renier) returns to the city slums to rejoin Father Julian(Ricardo Darin) in his continuing work that goes beyond just their ecclesiastical duties. So, while the residents work on constructing their own housing, the priests get to handle the bureaucracy, aided by Luciana(Martina Gusman). Proving once and for all that nothing can compare to location work, "White Elephant" seeks to tell a moving story about martyrdom in South America, while honoring a real life martyr at the same time. Even with some exquisite tracking shots, the fact that the movie is not as successful as it could have been is down primarily to its being more focused on Nicolas than on Julian, the more interesting of the two priests. Plus, while Jeremie Renier is certainly not chopped liver, compared to the great Ricardo Darin, one is free to choose whatever lunch meat metaphor wants.
Super Reviewer
Julian (Darin) and Nicolas (Renier) are two priests who, along with social worker Luciana (Gusman), work tirelessly to improve the lives of the inhabitants of an over-crowded Buenos Aires slum. With two rival gangs controlling the slum and the Catholic hierarchy showing more interest in political bureaucracy than helping the poor, Julian begins to doubt there is any point to his work. Meanwhile, Nicolas and Luciana are conducting a sexual affair in secret. A couple of years ago, Argentine cinema came to prominence with the Oscar-winning 'The Secret in Their Eyes', a film which dazzled viewers with some of the most outrageous camera trickery ever seen on screen. There's obviously something in the waters of the River Plate that makes film-makers reinvent camera movement as 'White Elephant' also features a raft of "how the hell did they pull that off?" camera tricks. Trapero seems to defy gravity with tracking shots that are baffling in their intricacy. From a technical perspective, his film is a must-see for students of film-making. Those expecting an engaging drama with well written characters will have to look elsewhere. Trapero's camera glides continuously through his unique slum setting, but never stops to let us get acquainted with any of its inhabitants. The slum-dwellers have no more depth than those we saw mowed down in 'Dredd' or 'The Raid'. The same goes for the two central priest characters. The elder priest, Julian's existential crisis is only touched on, while Nicolas leaves us with the frustratingly unanswered question of why a handsome young Northern European found himself in the priesthood. The subplot of his romance with Luciana is a well worn cliche where priesthood dramas are concerned. The film opens with the two priests escaping a massacre in a Latin American jungle but we never learn exactly what their involvement was here. It seems strange that Trapero would make a film in this setting as it's one he seems to have little interest in. Focusing so much on dazzling camerawork, as he does, creates the impression he's using 'White Elephant' as little more that a "come and get me" plea to Hollywood.

006: All the games to play!? Game Overload!
This week Blizzard Umbrella is back for the third recording of the Dusty and Ryan duo. You can now find the show on iTunes, Stitcher, and Google Play. This week the show discusses the plethora of games Blizzard has available to the community. What does this in terms of how players spend their time or the focus of Blizzard as they continue to develop these games?
What We're Up to:
Ryan's guild makes some heroic progress in Nighthold! Much to his dismay Ryan also took the time to do the archaeology weekly for the moose mount. On top of doing the his typical WoW thing Ryan also finished of the HotS Warcraft event, played some competitive Overwatch, and has been continuing to dust off his Hearthstone skills, can you say one shot?!
Dusty and Ryan played some HotS together which caused Dusty to realize how much he appreciates being able to play and communicate with people as he plays games instead of playing solo.
Dusty plays lots Zul'Jin and goes on a win streak. On top of playing lots of Heroes dusty jumps into LFR and does the second wing of Nighthold for the first time. Dusty also hits rank 10 in Hearthstone and looks forward to getting his chest!
Both Dusty and Ryan come from a different perspective when it comes to raiding and briefly discuss how they feel about Nighthold with that in mind.
LFR can be a cesspool!
A Diverse Game Selection:
Blizzard over the years has branched out to a point where they have game options in almost all of the big genres out there. With multiple games of different types available both players and Blizzard are presented with a dilemma of where does their time and focus go. Blizzard obviously has multiple development teams to cover their bases but the players only have so much time in a given week. With that in mind, the questions stands, what does this mean from Blizzards end and from the players end? Does Blizzard design games and events with the intent to get people to play all the games? Do the players reach a point where there is so much to do that they start to miss out due to lack of adequate gaming time? Does this dilemma cause these games to grow more towards a casual player scene or does the hardcore gamer not get neglected? How many players still play non Blizzard games now? Dusty and Ryan give their two cents.
- Farming legendary items will be possible in 7.2 and getting a legendary for an offspec will be easier
- Hearthstone has the Journey to Un'Goro expansion coming soon
- HotS sees lots of heroes changes on the PTR
- Overwatch's new competitive season is on the doorstep
Another week is in the books as the duo of Dusty and Ryan chat all things Blizzard. Keep looking to see them bring more information and talks to you and they will talk to you next week.

It's been a quiet summer for Tick, Paul, and Sofia, but the latest message from Master George changes everything. The Realities are in danger-and from something more terrible than Mistress Jane and the mutated Chi'karda of the Thirteenth Reality. People from all Realities are unexplainably going insane. Worse, some Realities are fragmenting, disintegrating into nothingness. Master George has learned that Mr. Chu from the Fourth Reality is working on a mysterious new weapon called Dark Infinity. But no one has any idea how to stop the weapon-or even if it can be stopped. To make matters worse, Tick and his friends have been kidnapped, forced to wink from Reality to Reality, solving impossible riddles in order to survive the deadly traps surrounding them. Mistress Jane and Tick find themselves in a race to reach the weapon first-but who will destroy it and who will become its master?

Lyneham £230m military training college plans approved
Plans for the £230m redevelopment of the former RAF Lyneham airbase have been approved by Wiltshire Council.
The proposals will create about 1,700 jobs and include a military college which will train thousands of students from all three of the armed forces.
The project will see the demolition of the base's Chapel of Rest, which about 6,000 people signed a petition against.
The Ministry of Defence (MoD) has said it will build a garden of remembrance in its place.
An MoD spokesperson said the garden would be publicly accessible and form part of the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers Museum of Technology, which will be relocated from its current site at Bordon in Hampshire as part of the plans.
He said the garden would "reflect the role played by Lyneham as an RAF base in repatriating military personnel from operations".
Alongside the petition, Wiltshire Council also received 166 letters of objection to the plans with many residents worried about the impact of noise from the new facility.
The MoD have stated there will be some gunfire and jet aircraft will taxi on the old runway.
Defence Minister Mark Francois said the the noise would be "minimal" and less than the amount made by the old Hercules planes which used to fly out of the base.
RAF Lyneham closed last December as part of a strategic review of military bases by the MoD.

Public Eye focuses on global justice.
Public eye is essentially financed by donations, bequests and membership fees: this is how we are able to remain completely independent. Your financial support, on any scale, is essential to the projects we carry out and allows us to carry on with our work. Thank you very much for backing what we do!
For any questions about donations, Chantal Sierro on +41 44 277 79 18 or via email will be happy to help you.
