Guido Bagier on the development of the sound film
Guido Bagier on the development of the sound film
Guido Bagier, Film-Kurier, No. 7, January 7, 1928
If the fates were asked about the future of film, they could do not better than to follow Richard Wagner"s idea and let their skeins abruptly break. The complex structure of the moving picture—half technology, half product of fantasy, half efficiently handled commodity—already defied exact analysis in the early stages of it birth. How could the further development of this mystical creature have been predicted even approximately? One thing is certain: In the span of thirty years, the child has grown into a man whose powers have overrun the world. What in former times was coincidence, intuitive emergence, and impulsive becoming, has gradually crystallized into maturity, reflection, consistency, and conscious evolution.
To consider the future of cinematography is to turn, first of all, to its technical problems and prospects. This is only natural, since the machine forms the basis of this medium and only new constructions seem to open up new pictorial pathways. Over and over, people speak of three fundamental possibilities:
Replacement of the silent image by sound.
Replacement of the black-and-white image by color.
Replacement of the flat image by a three-dimensional one.
It is superfluous to say how assiduously everyone is working on all three areas of expansion, and what considerable progress might be achieved. The greatest leap forward has been made by acoustic film, fostered in tandem by German and American inventors—among whom the tenacious Joseph Massolle seems to be taking the lead, notwithstanding structures in the U.S.A. that are more important for the praxis and economic viability of the field. Color film lies much farther behind: Sczepanik is outstripped. Herst demonstrates laboratory discoveries for everyday use. Danish and French processes promise better results with additive or chemical means. Despite splendid claims, Technicolor has fallen victim to incurable kitsch. And what about three-dimensional film? There are some interesting initial developments there. In view of the unerring nature of the pupil, stereoscopic vision itself will not be attained either through compromise, nor innocent deception—optical phase differential systems and the like! The gains of momentary successes (fog projection, etc.) founder on the complicatedness and costliness of the equipment.
The question arises: In view of its abundant power and the breadth of its effect, does film in its current form need to chase after these things, which may perhaps only keep it from its actual mission? Color and three-dimensionality will only confuse what exists—indeed, they often reduce and flatten it—without putting anything decisively new its place. Adding sound to the silent images will open up other, positive prospects: It will preserve famous statesmen and brilliant artists for posterity; it will give life to nature in a different sense then the animated play of light and shadow; it will give rise to an unprecedentedly agile linguistic form of communication; it will elevate the accompanying music from an incidental handmaiden to an equally inspired, or at the least, sympathetic comrade. But whether all this will come to pass or not, film will find its way and have a future for other reasons, and based on other sources: those that feed our fantasy!
Film has reached adulthood and is tired of childish games. The mass craving for pleasure, entertainment, and eroticism will always demand "the movies"; the film industry will always have to fill this demand, in order to live and let live. But in addition—just as a flea-pit differs from an artistic institution, and the fairground from cultured society—a new form of moving picture will develop that owes its existence not to the fashion of the masses, but to the vision of an individual, or in the best case, the community of a few individuals: a technician, a painter, a poet, a musician; no chief publisher, no super-director, no diva! These films will not be feature-length. They will not be full-blown movies with a plot, a star, and a slant, but rather short, succinct essays: bold, capricious and full of spirit. Despite their slight production costs, they will certainly not constitute a "business." But they will be stimulating, and their novel take on reality—free of all cliché and parrot-like imitation—shall slowly, but all the more thoroughly, penetrate the rest of the sluggish and sadly conventional mass of cinematography. And soon, the small audience of these intimate confessions, tired of the same old combinations of the fashionable feature film, shall grow and grow—until the production of larger works in an independent style begins to be worth it economically, for they no longer have to be made for the next 14 days or 14 weeks. And only in this way shall the film to come become an art like music and poetry, which run the gamut through all spheres: from honky-tonk and musical to abstract feeling; from couplet, saucy verse, and light lyric to deep meaning.
Of course, this rise shall proceed slowly, very slowly; but the best things are those that are hoped for. And only those who have faith will be able to work for the "future of film!"

How books work – the perfect way to escape a situation,and to reveal new worlds.
Tomi Ungerer
Tomi Ungerer is an author,who specialises in illustration. He's versatile,making work for children and adults that includes delightful tales,protest posters and books,advertising,surreal cartoons,erotica and autobiography.
He's good at taking a satirical view on things,and his images are compelling,humorous and occasionally unsettling. For such an enormously talented artist,his work and name are not as well known in the English language as they should be. Thankfully,many of his books are being republished by Phaidon,including the lovely children's stories.
From 'The Three Robbers'
His attitude to human sexuality is open-minded,so this sort of illustration is not for the prudish. He believes that if we were free to express our erotic nature,then the problems of pornography would be solved.
Ungerer's observational humour on human relationships,including power struggles and the search for loving fulfilment is amusing and well observed.
Tomi Ungerer tried his hand at farming in the early seventies,which he later turned into a book called ' Far Out Isn't Far Enough'. This has some beautiful illustrations of the landscape of Novia Scotia,as well as some gritty depictions of rural poverty and life and death. This title was used for a film about his life.

Kids Talk About God
If Jesus came with you to school, what would you do?
By Carey Kinsolving and friends
(Part Two of Two)
"If Jesus came with me to school, I would respect him and everyone else, too. I would not hit, would not call people names, and I would not or push," says Michael, age 6.
We have a tendency to act one way around some people and put our best foot forward around others. Jesus said, "Inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to me." (Matthew 25:40) Oops!
We live in a time when God indwells his people. Living in light of this kingdom reality should elevate relationships with Christians to a different sphere. It should also have a sobering effect on the way Christians treat non-Christians. God created all people in his image, even atheists. We should be courteous and show respect to all, especially to those with whom we disagree.
"I would tell Jesus about my life and what's hard for me at home and at school," says Joe, 9. "I would be very excited if he was here with me. I would feel like there could be no reason to fear him at all because it would be so good with him.
"It would be a dream come true. 'Thank you, Lord. Thank you,' I would say. I would travel around the world telling others about Jesus and make more Christians in the world. That would be great!"
Thank you, Joe, for sharing your unbridled joy in the Lord. God wants all his children to live free in anticipation of seeing him. True confidence in life comes from being rightly related to God. Living apart from God breeds fear because we're limited to our own resources.
Jesus appeared to scared disciples on Easter morning in a resurrection body and said, "Peace to you." The Scripture records, "But they were terrified and frightened, and supposed they had seen a spirit." (Luke 24:37)
When Jesus challenged them to examine his body and opened their understanding of the Old Testament concerning himself, faith began to replace fear.
When Christians live by faith, they stop worrying about what people think about them and start telling others about Jesus. The Apostle John wrote, "There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear because fear involves torment." (I John 4:18)
"If Jesus came to school with me, I would let him sit next to me," says Kelly, 9. "I would listen to him to see if he had an idea to grow closer to God. When the time would come to say goodbye, I would pray he would come back again. When I would come home, I would hope to see him just sitting there on my bed waiting just for me."
Kelly, thanks for this wonderful image of Jesus sitting on your bed waiting for you to come home from school. It brings to mind someone who sat on Easter morning. After an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and rolled back the stone of Jesus' tomb, the Scripture records that he sat on it. (Matthew 28:2)
Because an angel sat on a stone and announced Jesus' resurrection, we can sit, stand and walk with him wherever he leads us.
Think about this: If you're a Christian, Jesus is in you and with you wherever you go.
Memorize this truth: "I am with you always, even to the end of the age." (Matthew 28:20)
Ask this question: Do you have a sense of God's presence at school, work, home or wherever you go?

I recently wrote about the "terrorist" who produces great performance but with a bad attitude.
Looking back it covered a difficult situation for most leaders and in many ways it was a negative problem that can usually only be solved by metaphorical surgery.
Far better it is to consider the positive aspects of performance and attitude because with care a group of people in a business can be encouraged to do more and greater things. It's called engagement.
There are two groups to look at, namely those with indifferent performance but a good attitude and the top performers who also have great attitude.
I recently attended the Manchester Vistage Open Day which featured a wonderful and inspiring session by Mark Robb on Service Excellence.
Mark mentioned among many other gems that research had found that the most significant feature of a leader as seen by followers is the ability to show concern for others.
This doesn't imply that the leader needs to be all warm and cuddly but rather is able to relate to an individual to demonstrate a real interest in them and in their development.
The first group of employees listed above are the ones who will benefit the most and probably show the highest level of improvement.
If a leader accepts that attitude is all important then by showing concern, using coaching and mentoring methods to help people achieve their potential can show great dividends.
In the end we really would like to have everyone in the high performer/great attitude box. The ultimate objective of any leader is to have the best possible people around and then get out of their way to let them perform and to learn from them.
Naturally reality kicks in at some point but certainly by showing concern the likelihood is that there will be at least an acceptable level of improvement overall.
So now what about the people in the top right box designated the Prima Donnas?
The phrase can imply a high level of self-regard and demands emanating from it. In this case, however, the description really means "first among equals".
Looking back I realise that I have met and worked with several of this ilk and have leaned a great deal from them.
Perhaps the most significant for me was my old sales mentor, Phil Copp, the sage of Wythenshawe, who was the best sales operator I have ever met.
Phil was definitely a maverick, he knew what he could and should achieve and he liked to do it his way.
To give "management" their due they kept out of his way, gave him his head and let him get on with it.
The result was consistently high sales to very happy customers and, by the way, in a technically demanding industry.
Phil showed that genuine concern for others that manifested itself in his taking on the mentoring role at which he was exceptional.
I well recall the time that we went into a large engineering company because a new buyer had flexed his muscles and found another cheaper supplier.
Phil with me meekly following behind went round the drawing office collecting all our company catalogues from the draughts men and passing them to me to carry.
When complaints started that they used the catalogue every day and needed them all the time, Phil said: "sorry lads, your new buyer has a found a cheaper supplier so you won't be wanting out catalogue any more"
It took about six weeks to reverse the buyer's decision and we were back in.
The question to ask yourself them, is do I know which of the people would benefit from coaching to bring them up to top performer status, and, more importantly, do I really know who are the Prima Donnas (and potentials) in the business?
Find out who they are, demonstrate your concern for them and their work then stand back and let them get on with it. It could be the best decision you ever make.

About Henry Fielding:
Henry Fielding was born in Sharpham Park, Somerset, England, on April 22, 1707, and died in Lisbon on 8th October 1754. He was a great novelist and a playwright. His contribution to the Novel as a form of expression has been fundamental, and he is therefore known as the founder of English Novel. His major works in the field of Novel include Joseph Andrews and Tom Jones.
Biography: Life before Novel
Fielding belonged to a distinguished family. Henry's father, Col. Edmund Fielding, had served under John Churchill, duke of Marlborough, an early 18th-century general, "with much bravery and reputation." His mother was a daughter of Sir Henry Gould, a judge of the Queen's Bench, from whom she inherited property at East Stour, in Dorset, where Fielding spent some of his childhood. Fielding was quite young, only eleven years old, when his mother died. His father married again, and Fielding was sent to Eton College, where he laid the foundations of his love of literature and his considerable knowledge of the classics.
After his studies, he spent some years in leisure, before he went to the University of Leiden in Holland for further studies. However, he had to unfortunatelt return from the university without completing his studies because his father could not pay his allowance and the university expenses any more.
After coming back, he soon started writing plays. It is believed that in all, he wrote some 25 plays. Although his dramatic works have not held the stage, their wit cannot be denied. He was essentially a satirist, and his target was the political corruption of the times. His plays were quite superior in quality and content, and Bernard Shaw interesting commented that Fielding was "the greatest dramatist, with the single exception of Shakespeare, produced in England...

(early) morning dreams come true
(early) morning dreams come true
The superstitious notion that dreams one has in the very early hours before one wakes up are fated to happen in real life. A: "You see! I told you that would happen—Morning dreams really do come true!" B: "Bah! That's just a coincidence!" My mother always believed that early morning dreams came true, so if she had a bad dream before waking up, she'd refuse to leave the house.
Morning dreams come true.
Prov. If you dream something in the morning, it will really happen. (According to a superstition.) As I was sleeping through the sound of my alarm clock this morning, I dreamed I was late to work. That morning dream definitely came true.

Andrew Luck Turns Down Millions – A Wise Financial Move?
Andrew Luck recently announced that he has decided to return to college for his senior year next season instead of entering the 2011 NFL draft. Many experts believe the Stanford University Quarterback would be the top NFL pick of the draft. By not entering the draft, at least for now, he gives up a contract worth in the area of $90 million, probably with $50-$60 million guaranteed. Andrew Luck shocked all the prognosticators by turning down millions now for his senior year in college. Part of me finds this refreshing. I am all for getting a college degree and Stanford University is one of the best educational institutions in the country. Additionally, athletes are often ill prepared for the professional ranks and do not have a solid education upon which to fall back on. They often end up wasting millions of dollars often like lottery winners do. Andrew Luck has a solid advisory team behind him and comes from a financially well off family led by his father, Oliver Luck, who is an athletic director at West Virginia University. The Senior Luck graduated and played at West Virginia University and graduated magnum cum laude. He was also a finalist for the Rhodes Scholar. Luck played professional football for the Houston Oilers from 1983 to 1986. After his football career was over, Luck earned his law degree from the University of Texas in 1987. Among other things, Luck has run for Congress, been the general manager of the Frankfurt Galaxy of the World League of American Football, a top executive in the NFL, and the CEO of the Houston Sports Authority. Luck is in the Academic All American Hall of Fame. Oliver Luck's son Andrew has reportedly consulted with Peyton and Eli Manning who both were number 1 draft picks and graduated from college before joining the NFL.
Advice for Oliver Luck. I would have to advise Andrew Luck to take the $60 million, unless college is such a great experience that he has stay. He may have friends and or a girlfriend he wants to spend as much time with as possible. He may love academics and playing college football so much that he is not ready to give it up until he has to. I can actually understand this. In Andrew's case, he is fine financially based on his father's career and he will be insured for millions if he gets injured. On the flip side he could damage his stock in the draft much like Jake Locker did this year. He could also end up injured and still be the number 1 pick like Sam Bradford. Bradford won the Heisman trophy his sophomore year, returned for his junior year even though his was projected as the number 1 pick after his sophomore year. Bradford was injured in the 1st game of his junior year and missed the remainder of the season. He was still the number 1 pick, although questions swirled about his durability and shoulder. Bradford signed a 6-year, $78 million deal ($50 million guaranteed), which has a maximum value of $86 million. It is the largest contract ever for an NFL rookie.
Taking a likely $50-$60 million guaranteed would be a wise financial decision that should last Luck a lifetime-especially if he makes and stays within budget. Going into this year, Andrew Luck was rated by many behind Locker. Luck had such an incredible year– he clearly distinguished himself. Meanwhile, Locker created even more doubts about himself by staying in school and who knows where he will be drafted now. Jake appears to have lost millions. Draft order matters since the higher you are drafted, the more guaranteed money you can negotiate. It is commendable that he wants to finish his degree, but not entering the NFL draft this season may be end up being a big mistake for Andrew Luck. By not entering, he has taken on a lot of risk that could affect his professional football career. Despite the fact that Andrew Luck's coach Jim Harbaugh is taking the money and going to the San Francisco 49ers, Luck continues to say he is staying for his senior. QB Brian Brohm, then a junior at the University of Louisville, was in a similar situation in 2007. His coach Bobby Petrino left Louisville to coach the Atlanta Falcons (and later flamed out by quitting during the season that Michael Vick was suspended for dog fighting) and Brohm returned for his senior year after being considered arguably the best quarterback in college. He had a poor senior year, showed a lot of weakness like Jake Locker, and ended up being drafted in the second round. He's now a journeyman back with the Buffalo Bills.
Another reason for Andrew Luck to enter the draft this year is that there is the potential for a rookie salary cap after this 2011 NFL Draft which is similar to the NBA salary cap. He will make much less under this rookie contract if there is a rookie salary cap.
Conclusion. Either way, Luck will be fine financially. He may or may not be a great quarterback in the NFL, but he has a great support system including a father who can help guide him. This should increase his chances of having a successful career in football and or outside of football much like his father. "My family raised us that having a degree is important; it's a must," he was quoted as saying by the New York Times. "It's definitely important for me." For other athletes with fewer options, jumping to the NFL for the chance at financial riches for himself and his family would be a no-brainer. For Andrew, he has options, and it's hard to argue with either one. And Andrew, don't forget to read my tips for athletes that I gave to Allen Iverson. Also, please save money, manage your credit card spending, control your debt, and practice managing your finances while in college in preparation for the real world.

Every year, between 4,000 to 6,000 people lose their housing or experience homelessness on Cape Cod.

STILL SPEAKING OUT – Homeless Not Helpless President Billy Bishop, seen here in 2011 during an open house at a HNH building, was among those speaking out on homelessness at a press conference Dec. 22 in Hyannis.
Is Barnstable doing enough?
Every year, between 4,000 to 6,000 people lose their housing or experience homelessness on Cape Cod.
"It's a tragedy," said Heidi Nelson, CEO of the Duffy Health Center in Hyannis.
That tragedy was the focus of the National Homeless Persons Memorial Day annual press conference Dec. 22 in Hyannis. Representatives from a dozen Cape human service and housing agencies gathered at Eve's House at 22 Main St. The rambling residence was recently purchased by Homeless Not Hopeless, Inc., a nonprofit group that offers services to the homeless. When renovations are completed in mid-January, the two-story house will provide living quarters for 10 homeless women.
Eve's House represents a ray of hope for those without shelter on Cape Cod and may serve as a model for the rest of the country.
"We have a model that works," said Rachel Carey-Harper, clerk of the Barnstable Friends Meeting, who donated most of the money to buy the house.
Some in our community she said, only have bad choices "to go into a noisy shelter or a strange church for the night or a tent." She also decried the fact that "14 people died on our streets today because of our neglect."
Carey-Harper encouraged other people on the Cape to follow her example by choosing to live simply and give their money back into the community.
"What matters is that everybody in this community helps…If every town on the Cape donated an abandoned building and allotted 1 percent of its revenues to the homeless" it would go a long way toward solving the problem, she said.
Homeless Not Hopeless is in need of more "big donors" to purchase other homes around the Cape to house the homeless, said Alan Burt, co-founder of the group. Billy Bishop, the group's president, echoed the need for "some serious money…but I'm not one to beg." Bishop, who was homeless himself for 10 years, said the group has been successful because it is run by formerly homeless people who, like himself, don't get paid.
"We save lives and I want to save more lives," Bishop said. "We nurture them back to health and turn them around."
Other speakers gave a rather bleak report on the problem of homelessness because of budget cuts, the struggling economy, and the long-held view that this is just a Hyannis problem.
Although most of the homeless tend to gravitate to Hyannis, homelessness is a "Capewide issue and the other towns need to become more meaningfully involved," said Burt, president of the Citizens Advisory Board for the Department of Mental Health, Cape Cod and the Islands.
Collaboration among local agencies is "key" to solving the problem, said Nelson. Because of pressure to get homeless people off Main Street, Hyannis, several agencies worked together. "Ninety-three people frequented the Village Green," Nelson said. "Now the average is 15 to 25."
Barnstable Town Councilor Jan Barton said the town has taken a leadership role in the homelessness initiative.
"We have made a lot of progress over the years," she said. "Things are moving in a positive direction. Is there more we can do? Yes."
Barton said she approached other Cape towns for contributions, but that effort was not sustained.
Rick Presbrey, CEO of Housing Assistance Corp, disagreed with other speakers, saying that the Town of Barnstable should bear the primary responsibility for the homeless.
"This is an urban area and the problem exists here," he said. "I'm not blaming the town council. The spirit of helping needs to exist where the problem exists. Six more of these houses (Eve's House) make Barnstable a better town."
Because of government cuts many programs for the poor no longer exist, Presbrey noted. In 1990 there were 1,300 subsidized housing units on the Cape compared to only 400 today, a startling reduction especially in a tough economy.
Homelessness is a vicious cycle "caused by poor health and poor health causes homelessness," Nelson said. "These people suffer three times the sickness and injury" of the general population because they are exposed to the elements and disease and often are malnourished. Last year the Duffy Health Center provided medical and other services to 3,200 people, Nelson said.
Not enough is being done locally, however, to address the problem of mental illness, another contributing factor to homelessness, said Deb Rausch, president of the board of the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill (NAMI) Cape Cod and the Islands. According to Rausch, one in four people is touched by mental illness.
"The Cape is grossly underserved," she said. "We need to reach families before a member is in a struggling place."
In the last decade, the Department of Mental Health has lost $100 million in funding, Burt added.
"There is an appalling silence," he said. "If we want more services for the poor and the mentally ill, we need to speak out."
Barnstable Assembly Delegate Patrick Princi, who worked at the Noah Shelter in Hyannis after graduating from college, urged people to treat the homeless like human beings.
"If you see a person that seems down and out, don't turn your head," he said. "Say hello or buy them a cup of coffee."

Gah, now I'm bored, hahaha. Daddy did something with the network but I don't think my laptop connects still because he didn't say anything to me about it. Bah.
Yesterday … I don't remember what I did. Hung around, whatever. Didn't get a chance to go on the comp. Put Christmas decorations away. Went to bed at 9. hah! I didn't know of anything else to do. Actually, I'm kinda bleary eyed at the moment. Maybe I should go to bed now. I was thinking at 8:30 it'd be nice to get to bed at 9. Meh. Maybe I will. I'll try not to think of anything to do on this comp. >.>
Oh. I finished Cages yesterday. It was … interesting. I kinda wish he'd gone on more about the cat … but then I guess I'm more fantasy that way? (I don't like the word fantasy because I always think in other people's minds it conjures images of dragons and elves and what have you. I'm not into that. But … I am kind of into fantasy/sci fi where it's just … I dunno … I don't know how to explain it.)
Did I say I finished The Haunting of Hill House? I did. It left me confused. She didn't explain why all that was happening, who was the ghost behind it all. ;.; I just don't get it! That's all I can say! Well, it was good other than that. It was creepy. *grin* I liked the mood, atmosphere, characters … I just didn't understand why it all happened. Which is annoying. But oh well.
Today … got up at about 8. Woke up really when Hidek left for school at 7. I just turned on the radio and closed my eyes though, hehehe. Oh yeah, my dream … dang, I don't remember. *sad* Oh wait, it was today I finished Cages. While eating pretzel sticks and drinking Dr. Pepper for breakfast. ahaha. Eh, whatever.
After that … hung around in the living room while everyone ate breakfast, then went on Hidek's comp, saw the part in the first ep of I Love Lucy and yeah, Ricky really did drink the one with the mickey! *shock*, N left, came back for his name tag/id, left. Mum took me to Cash 'n Carry to buy envelopes, and I bought a blue pen. Sent Adam's present off and CDs to No More AOL CDs.
Found out today they're in California. o.o They went to Sacramento to demonstrate for a bill. Poured out 30,000 CDs. XD They've collected 350,000 CDs so far! Yay! Came back home, hung around.
Took two of the kimono off those display dolls. The lady kimono isn't a complete kimono, it's just pieced together with nails to look complete. *sad* (The obi covers the middle, where there isn't any kimono, if that makes any sense.) But the girl kimono is complete and soooo pretty! Much prettier than the lady. And it fits my American Girl doll! XD "How old are you again?" haha. I kinda felt like sewing something for her … I don't know what though. Ooh, I should have drawn out the ideas for clothes I had recently … grrrrr.
Put my school yearbooks in a box above the closet. Uh, except for my high school one. It won't fit. I guess I should try to put it somewhere … This way I have more space on my shelf, and the stuff I have on the smaller shelf on its side can go up there. That way I have more room for my DVDs! Hehe. I really should put my VHSes somewhere NOT on my shelf … *shrug*
I guess I'm done. Boring. ho-hum. I'm thirsty. But there's no more soda. *weep* I also want ice cream, but I'm gonna be going to bed soon … hopefully … *shifty eyes*
Oh, duh, we (Daddy, C and I) went to Westside Pavilion again so C could buy a new Element hat and that Zelda game. I looked at … Pacsun (didn't see that much … I'm not really into the dirty jean look) … EB Games (buy one get one half off sale on pre-played games, didn't see anything, didn't really want to spend more money) … Hot Topic, but meh I hate being in there because I keep thinking the people in that store dun like me 'cause I'm not "real" whatever stereotype they're trying to fit in. hah!
Besides, it's all soooo expensive. x.x They were having a $10 off all skirts/pants, but I didn't feel like paying $22+tax for a skirt I wouldn't wear that often. (Although it was a nice skirt … But now that I went to the site to look at it again … I could make most of the skirts there. *sweatdrop* Even if it doesn't look as good … heck, it'd only cost me what, $15? Two yards of two different black fabrics … couldn't cost me that much, eh?)
NOW I'm going to bed. Or at least I'm getting off after I play this one game of solitaire. gehehe

St. Paul's Hospital is an acute-care health facility that's been in operation since 1894. The original building was small, with just 25 beds. In 1914 the original structure was replaced by a brick building that added another 120 beds and a surgical department. From that year through 1991, the hospital was repeatedly added to and expanded to become the large complex it is today, with over 400 beds.
Many staff members and patients have experienced weird things in the older parts of the hospital. These include inexplicable electrical disturbances, lights going on and off by themselves, strange noises, disembodied voices, and objects moving on their own. Some have seen apparitions of former staff members and patients. In the Burrard Building, the main building that dates back to 1914, some people have seen phantom surgeries performed in the old operating rooms.

A female elephant is suspected to have been poisoned in the buffer area of Palamu Tiger Reserve. The body was found on Monday and was buried later that day at the same place as dead elephants are not carried on shoulders like human beings. The news of its death was known a day after on the night of December 24.
The body showed no signs of any external injury. There were no gunshot wounds either, said sources.
Confirming the death of the female elephant, Anil K Mishra, DFO buffer area, said PTR officials are awaiting the postmortem report. It is being suspected that the female elephant may have been poisoned as the body bore no sign of any external injury like gun wound, he said.
He added that the place where the body has been discovered is quite close to Kujrum village, where elephants frequently go on a rampage. The female elephant could have become a victim of man-animal conflict. There is no question of poaching since female elephants do not have tusks. Elephants are poached for tusks, he said.
The year 2013 was a rather bad one for elephants in the tiger reserve. Two adult male elephants were found dead under mysterious conditions inside Betla National Park, which is a core area, in October and November.
They remained unattended for two weeks and none of the forest guards, foresters or rangers could get any nauseating odour of the two. When they were discovered, their bodies had decomposed to such an that they were not even fit for postmortem, said field director S E H Kazmi.
None of the elephants in 2013 died by coming under the wheels of the trains here as there is a bridge Jawa, which the elephants cross frequently. The railway lines of the Coal India Chord section pass through the bridge. More....

A Vatican bishop has defended the Chinese government's record on organ harvesting.
In a letter seen by the Catholic Herald, Bishop Marcelo Sánchez Sorondo said it was "myopic" to criticise the Holy See's engagement with China, and that the Chinese government has "accomplished the reform of the organ donation system".
Bishop Sorondo, the head of the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences (PAS), said last month: "Right now, those who are best implementing the social doctrine of the Church are the Chinese."
His remarks were intended to support a possible deal between the Vatican and China, in which the state would have a greater role in the selection of bishops.
While the deal's supporters say it will unite the Church, critics say it will leave Catholics under the sway of the Communist Party and leave the "underground" Catholic community vulnerable to persecution.
Bishop Sorondo's latest comments come in his response to a letter from the International Coalition to End Transplant Abuse in China. The letter cast doubt on China's claimed reforms, pointing out that the registries of organ donation are not open to the public.
The letter-writers also expressed their dismay at the Vatican's decision to invite Wang Haibo, head of China's organ distribution system, to a conference last month. A former health minister, Jiefu Huang, was also invited – a decision criticised by some human rights campaigners.
In 2015 China said it no longer extracted organs from prisoners. But human rights groups and academics have claimed that the procedure – in which victims are strapped to tables and cut open – is still widespread in China.
The letter from the International Coalition to End Transplant Abuse In China says that the government has "passed no new laws or regulations" to regulate the practice, that public data is "minimal, and sometimes contradictory", and that China has "never acknowledged the extrajudicial execution of prisoners of conscience for their organs".
"The horrendous abuses that have been extensively documented, and brought to your attention previously,"the letter told Bishop Sorondo, "cannot be confirmed to be merely a thing of the past. Indeed, even if they were, the perpetrators must still be brought to justice."
The letter-writers argued that the Pontifical Academy's reputation could be severely damaged if it defends China's reforms without enough evidence.
In his response, Bishop Sorondo affirmed the Vatican's commitment to human rights, and said that attacking Chinese attempts at reform could backfire. "Those that seek to undermine Professor Jiefu Huang do so at the risk of undermining the leadership of reform," the bishop wrote.
Bishop Sorondo said that "ideological political groups" were trying to obstruct the Vatican's engagement with China. These groups "for various reasons do not want to understand that the Church, the United Nations, and the people of the earth must follow the evolution of a country with a population of 1,300 million and 31 million Christians, which is becoming one of the most important protagonists of the new world scenario that is passing from the Atlantic to the Pacific, like it went from the Mediterranean to the Atlantic in the past."
China's current policy, the bishop told the letter-writers, forbids the use of organs from executed prisoners. "The disposition of China regarding this reform," he writes was publicly promulgated at the PAS Summit of February 2017 and is a citable reference for this new China Model."
He also tells them that the "continued attacks" on Vatican outreach to China will not persuade the Chinese government, because "the authors of the attack targeting the PAS are perceived by colleagues in China to be spokespersons for a political organisation."
The news comes as China reaffirms the state's authority over the Church. A state official told a press conference yesterday: "Actively guiding religions in adapting to the socialist society means guiding religious believers to… be subordinate to and serve the overall interests of the nation and the Chinese people."

The Aquatic Treadmill -
The glass sides of the treadmill enables the hydrotherapist to assess joint range of motion, stance time and stride length throughout the therapy session.
We can alter the level of the heated water allowing us to target flexion and extension on the joint of interest. The treadmill has a variable speed enabling us to achieve the correct gait pattern for the patient.
Walking in water is a closed chain exercise (a type of exercise where the foot is fixed against a form of resistance). This method of walking without the added stress of further trauma is the ideal way of promoting gait re-education after surgery or injury. E.g. cruciate repairs, spinal surgery and in particular patella correction.

All in a day's work: Thomas the playwright
Thomas is a 32-year-old vegan playwright. Most of his time is spent working from home when he's is not in meetings and rehearsals. His work hours vary significantly — he can be writing between two and 12 hours a day, sometimes through the night to complete a project. While other playwrights may smoke, drink or exercise to break up the writing day, Thomas prefers to snack on food as he finds eating an "anxiety dispeller''. Working from home means food is always close and easily accessible. With his mind focused on work he frequently eats without concentrating on his food and finds himself overeating. He admittedly knows he eats too many carbohydrates, a common habit of vegans.
Three pieces of wholegrain toast with peanut butter and strawberry jam. 2 carrots.
Soy latte with 1 sugar
Tofu and spinach on a big bowl of white pasta. Celery stick with peanut butter.
Handful of potato chips and babaganoush
Bean, tomato and celery soup with a large handful of croutons.
2 Oranges. 3 kiwifruit. Five oreo cookies. A small bowl of soy ice cream. Wasn't concentrating on what I was eating. Just picking away.
Nadia Lim's nutrition quick fix
It is possible to be vegan and get the essential nutrients you require through your food. You need at least seven servings of fruit and vegetables a day, especially those leafy greens — add a squeeze of lemon juice as a source of vitamin C to help the absorption of iron. I like that you're having vegetables at breakfast, keep it up! But you need to replace the refined carbohydrates (sugar, white flour, white pasta etc) in your diet with more natural unrefined/unprocessed carbohydrates such as legumes (lentils, chickpeas and beans), kumara, pumpkin and potato. They contain more nutrients. Keep your pantry stocked with healthy snacks such as raw nuts, which are full of good fats, so there's always a healthy option on hand. Green smoothies make a great nutrient dense snack— try spinach, fruit ( mango, frozen raspberries and/or banana), milk alternative such as soy or rice milk fortified with calcium and ½ avocado (optional) and a teaspoon of honey if you like. Also, try taking some time out when you eat and listen to your body when it's full — not only will your body benefit but your mind will too.

Historic Preservation
In approaching building restoration, we subscribe to the Hippocratic Oath: "First do no harm."
As architects and engineers specializing in exterior restoration, we maintain a broad focus. At one end of the spectrum, we need a sense of architectural history, and a familiarity with archaic materials and construction techniques. At the other end, we couple this knowledge with a palette of solutions, often involving technology and materials not even dreamt-of when the subject building was originally designed.
We're constantly asking ourselves the question: What's appropriate – restore or replace? We ask ourselves this question for virtually every component of every project we do. The answer involves a balance among considerations that sometimes compete with one another: historic authenticity, technical performance, longevity, expense, product availability, construction inconvenience, and potential disturbance of hazardous materials, to name a few.
We must be doing something right. During each of the past six years, one of our projects has received a New York Landmarks Conservancy Lucy G. Moses Award, the "Oscar" of the NYC preservation community.

Jayco, Inc. was founded in 1968 by a man of strong faith and vision. The late Lloyd J. Bontrager, family man and inventor, felt he could build the world a better RV. He longed to create a company of his own, one that clearly reflected his ideals: a company where everyone would be treated as "family".
With encouragement from his wife Bertha, Lloyd started Jayco on their farm--in two chicken houses and a barn! He developed his own prototype camping trailer and a unique lifter system for fold-down campers, the basic design of which is patented and still in use today. By the end of 1968, his fledging company of 15 employees had sold 132 fold-down camping trailers.
Today, Jayco's "family" of employees has grown to nearly 1,500 people, while more than 25,000 people join our "extended family" of customers each year.
At Jayco, our mission statement is: Committed to being the most respected name in recreation vehicles. We will consistently build a high quality, high value, competitively priced product at acceptable margins, treat every situation with the highest level of integrity in a timely manner, and continually work to reduce total cost to achieve acceptable returns.

Amendment No. 115 again relates to changes made in Grand Committee, which limit the requirement to seek disposal consent to social housing. It was achieved through amendments to Clause 171. That change did not, however, affect those disposal consents which are required under other legislation via Clauses 188 and 189. These clauses mainly apply to stock transferred homes. This omission would have meant that registered providers may still have been required to seek disposal consents for land other than social housing where the land was part of a stock transfer, but not otherwise, which was not our intention. Amendment No. 115
9 July 2008 : Column 783
Finally, Amendments Nos. 108 and 109 are technical and ensure the clauses are consistent with similar powers elsewhere in the Bill. I hope noble Lords will agree that, while technical, these amendments are important to ensure that the system works in a simple and effective way, ensuring the protection of tenants and investment where needed, while minimising bureaucracy for providers. I beg to move.
Baroness Hamwee: My Lords, I am grateful to the Government for acting on the concerns that I raised at the previous stage about disposals without consent. I would have preferred to see something which more closely mirrored the position that would have applied with other companies on an insolvency, but the proposed amendment is a good one.
A question has just occurred to me and I am sorry I did not think of this before and give notice. If the purported disposal is one where there has been an agreement to sell more properties than come within the exception and the purchaser has paid a deposit, what happens to that deposit? Of course, anyone with his wits about him would provide for the possibility of a moratorium when drafting a sale agreement. There must be an answer. If the purported disposal is void, would the deposit go back to the failed purchaser? It would be helpful to have clarity on that.
Lord Bassam of Brighton: My Lords, the noble Baroness is probably right but I shall take advice and write to her on the point.
On Question, amendment agreed to.
Clause 149 [Exempted disposals]:
Baroness Andrews moved Amendments Nos. 105 and 106:
On Question, amendments agreed to.
Baroness Andrews moved Amendment No. 107:
(2) But subsection (1) does not apply to a disposal by a non-profit registered provider to one or more individuals (the buyer) if

Clause 166 [Transfer of property]:

Clause 167 [Section 166: supplemental]:
Baroness Andrews moved Amendment No. 109:
On Question, amendment agreed to.
Baroness Andrews moved Amendments Nos. 110 and 111:
On Question, amendments agreed to.
Clause 176 [Separate accounting]:
Baroness Andrews moved Amendment No. 112:
( ) Where this section applies in relation to the proceeds of sale arising on a disposal, section 35 above, section 27 of the Housing Act 1996 (c. 52) and section 52 of the Housing Act 1988 (c. 50) do not apply.
On Question, amendment agreed to.
Clause 182 [Interpretation: other expressions]:
Baroness Andrews moved Amendment No. 113:
On Question, amendment agreed to.
Baroness Andrews moved Amendment No. 114:
(1) Where the regulators consent is required for the disposal of a dwelling by a registered provider, sections 171 to 174 continue to apply in relation to a disposal of the land by the registered provider even if the land has ceased to be a dwelling.
(2) Sections 171 to 174 also apply in relation to a disposal of land by a registered provider which would fall within Exception 2 or 3 of section 172 but for a change of use of the land by the registered provider.
On Question, amendment agreed to.
Clause 189 [Section 188: consequential amendments]:
Baroness Andrews moved Amendment No. 115:
On Question, amendment agreed to.
Baroness Andrews moved Amendment No. 116:

Clause 191 [Provision of social housing]:
[Amendments Nos. 117 to 119B not moved.]
Baroness Andrews moved Amendment No. 120:
On Question, amendment agreed to.
Viscount Eccles moved Amendment No. 121:
(1) The Secretary of State may give guidance to the regulator as to the exercise of any of its functions.
(2) Before giving guidance under this section, the Secretary of State must consult such persons as the Secretary of State considers appropriate.
(3) The Secretary of State must publish any guidance given under this section as soon as reasonably practicable after giving it.
(6) The regulator must, in exercising its functions, have regard to any guidance for the time being in force under this section.
(7) References in this section to giving guidance include references to giving guidance by varying existing guidance.
The noble Viscount said: My Lords, I shall speak also to Amendment No. 123. What would these amendments do if agreed? First, they would remove Clause 195 with its unprecedented and prescriptive provisions; secondly, they would split Clause 195, in effect, into two clauses, one of which is a widely drawn, flexible guidance clause which is a replica of Clause 48 in Part 1, except that the amendment changes the name HCA to the regulator. Finally, the amendments include a directions clause, the wording of which is taken directly from Section 76 of the Housing Associations Act 1985. Section 76 is the precedent cited by the Government in their submission to the Delegated Powers and Regulatory Reform Committee and in Grand Committee. However, if the Government were minded to replace the proposed Section 76 clause with a replica of Clause 48(1) to (4) in Part 1, thus putting the regulator into the same position as the HCA, that would be entirely appropriate. Either clause would do what the two amendments intend.
What would be the effect of these amendments? First, they would provide the Government with the powers they have argued they need. Secondly, they would put the HCA and the regulator on all fours and
9 July 2008 : Column 786
I will give my reasons why these four improvements to the Bill deserve a welcome from the Government. First, with regard to powers, the Minister has herself argued that in dividing the functions of the Housing Corporation in separating out regulationI quote from the letter of May last to the Delegated Powers and Regulatory Reform Committee
I believe that these propositions will be met with general agreement: first, that the regulator should be more independent, and, secondly, that the Secretary of State indeed has an interest in the regulators functionsincluding, I would judge, those in Clause 195(1) as well as those in Clause 195(2). The question is how we satisfy those twin goals in the most elegant and effective way.
Guidance is a better way than directions. Guidance allows dialogue to proceed at any required pace, allows any depth and detail of consultation and enables compromisealthough the regulator must have regard to guidance, whether in full agreement or not. Thus compulsion is avoided. In contrast, directions would entail compulsion. It is certain that any direction that enforced a realignment of the regulators method of delivering performance under Clauses 190 to 194 would be highly disruptive both to the HCA and to social housing providers. That is inherent in the language and the process of Clause 195. Would the inevitably slow progress towards a direction take a year? Given Clause 195(4) and (5), it seems likely, thus creating great uncertainty in a difficult and demanding market. Surely guidance is the much more appropriate power, serving to achieve both more independence and the Secretary of States legitimate pursuit of the public interest.
The second issue is the keeping of the HCA and the regulator on all fours. People in both public bodies will be drawn from the Housing Corporation and from English Partnerships, where they are colleagues. They will need to continue to be colleagues in a joint endeavour. The HCA and the regulator face a stern test: 70,000 high-quality completions by 2010-11, as the noble Lord, Lord Bassam, reminded us. That is a 40 per cent increase on the current 50,000 completions, split more or less down the middle between rented and owned. I believe that there is agreement that the most acute shortage is in rented property. The average Housing Corporation grant for rented housing is about £60,000. For owned property it is about half that figure, confirming that rented property is the most demanding sector in the social housing market. Both the HCA and the
9 July 2008 : Column 787
I turn to the third issue. There has been, as my noble friend Lord Dixon-Smith pointed out in Grand Committee, a disagreement between the Delegated Powers and Regulatory Reform Committee and the Government. The committee demurred at Clause 195, saying in its Eighth Report that the,
Despite the fact that the Minister continues in a state of disagreement with the committee, it will be to the advantage of the House if this disagreement is peacefully resolved. Amendments Nos. 121 and 123 achieve this; neither the proposed guidance clause nor the proposed directions clause is of a legislative character, and both are well precedented.
The final issue is that of the conventional inclusion of a directions clause. Directions are a draconian power and are meant to be so. They are not intended for the review of detailed operations under the provisions of an Act; they are intended for the unforeseenfor exceptional circumstances when rapid action is needed. This is why directions clauses such as that in Section 76 of the 1985 Act have been acceptable, despite the fact that they are subject to no parliamentary procedure. Amendment No. 123 restores directions to their well precedented place in legislation.
I shall say a word or two about assurances. Directions clauses attract assurances, and we have had some about Clause 195. However, two questions always arise. The first is that of the cooks pie crustare assurances made to be, after a time, broken? The second is more serious. Why put an extensive and complicated clause in a Bill if it is very unlikely to be invoked? The language and intent of Clause 195 is all about the performance of functions. Guidance will be a more effective way to find improvements to performance, leaving directions for use in extremis.
I am seeking to meet the needs of all the principal playersthe Secretary of State, the HCA, the regulator and the Delegated Powers and Regulatory Reform Committee. I believe that the providers as well as the tenants and owners will also benefit. I beg to move.
Lord Dixon-Smith: My Lords, my noble friend has made an admirable case for trying to keep all the bodies that he mentioned in line. I am quite sure that the Minister will argue that the Bill already does that but the report of the Delegated Powers and Regulatory Reform Committee shows that there is clear division of opinion as to whether that is the case.
I support my noble friend in his amendments; as he says, they would enable the apparent conflict to be resolved and would unquestionably assist in keeping co-ordinated the actions of the Homes and Communities Agency and the regulator. That has to be a worthwhile ambition. Therefore, it is very easy for me to offer my support.
Baroness Hamwee: My Lords, I agree absolutely with the noble Viscount about guidance being better than directions. I hope that he will comment on the fact that Amendment No. 123 gives the Secretary of State a much wider direction-making power than Clause 195, as I do not think he has said anything about it. His argument may lead one inevitably to that conclusionprobably it doesbut it gives me some trouble.
Lord Bassam of Brighton: My Lords, I shall start where the noble Baroness finished, because her point goes to the heart of the argument. As I read the amendments, they would make the regulator subject to the Secretary of States direction and guidance. I understand the point about guidance, but that would apply for all its functions. When we discussed this matter earlier, I assumed that the noble Viscount, Lord Eccles, was much more keenly in favour of the regulators independence. It is a feature of the Bill, which I had thought was broadly accepted, that the new social housing regulator should be largely independent from government, subject to the Secretary of States direction only in the setting of a small group of key standards. This is in contrast to the status quo, where the Housing Corporation is subject to direction by the Secretary of State in respect of all its functions; so there is a change.

Aston Martin DB10: One James Bond special heading to auction
Search Driven for Aston Martin for sale
One of the 10 Aston Martin DB10 coupes created especially for the 24th James Bond movie, Spectre, will go on sale via auction. According to Aston Martin, this is the only DB10 that will be offered for sale to the general public.
The DB10 is the first Aston Martin designed specifically for the spy movie franchise. Eight of the 10 DB10s in existance were modified for filming purposes, with the car that's going to auction just one of two left in an untouched "show" condition suitable for events, such as the world premiere.
All 10 DB10s are hand made and feature a carbonfibre body mounted on a modified version of the V8 Vantage S' underpinnings. Inside, there's a hand-crafted cabin rich in leather, aluminium and carbonfibre.
Under the bonnet there's a 4.7-litre V8 petrol engine driving the rear wheels via a six-manual transmission. Top speed is said to be around 305km/h.
