beau brocade by baroness orczy this edwardian romp is set in the mid - 18th century and features a masked highwayman ( the beau himself ) who seems to redistribute his ill - gotten gains to the deserving poor . he is a gentleman fugitive , of course , and a kind of byronic wanderer .

she slipped into several stunning and extravagant brocade gowns to play queen elizabeth in her oscar - nominated performance in 1998 .
fisher’s fantasy sci - fier “the obsidian mirror” was published last year and she recently finished writing a sequel , “the box of red brocade . ”
“at last i can tell all the fans demanding a film of ‘incarceron’ that an exciting new project is under way , ” fisher said . “i’m delighted to be working with ileen maisel and amber entertainment . i know that they have the enthusiasm and expertise to produce the perfect film ! ”
during the evening , cate also larked about on the red carpet with her blue jasmine costar sally hawkins , who also opted for brocade in the form of a long sleeve pink and cream gown .
cate blanchett once again opted for a classic look as she attended the 79th annual new york film critics circle awards at the edison ballroom in the big apple on monday evening .

chris hemsworth kicks off filming for the star - studded men in black spin - off as he cuts a sharp figure in london . . . 21 years after the first film hit screens
however , unlike byron or napoleon , beau brummell ' s extraordinary fame arose entirely from his acting out an idea of himself . handsome , clever and rich ( though of undistinguished origins ) , he dedicated his life to the embodiment of a precise and austere visual aesthetic ; a style rather than a fashion , because once created , he stuck with it .
no . and it wasn ' t supposed to be , not exactly—griffiths ' film was not a documentary . but it did advertise itself as being based on a true story , that of chong kim , a korean - american trafficked into sex slavery in the mid - 1990s .
his vision was so persuasive that , almost singlehandedly , he took rich men out of the brocade and taffeta that had expressed wealth for centuries and put them into the broadcloth and linen they have worn ever since . he was the apostle of the principle that a peculiarly masculine elegance is best expressed by neutrally coloured clothes cut with the precision for which savile row became famous .
when the film came out , the real kim made the media circuit telling her story : handcuffed to a doorknob for months by a man she thought was her boyfriend ; held in a vegas warehouse full of other teens ; forced to work as a prostitute around the country ; rising to madam ; and escaping on her own two years later .
elizabeth plays a mother - to - be in forthcoming romantic - comedy movie what to expect when you ' re expecting ' , which stars jennifer lopez , cameron diaz and chris rock , and she enjoyed wearing prosthetic breasts to portray a pregnant woman in the film , despite thinking part of her fake boobs looked like ' large salami slices ' .
you may call me naïve ,
wrote reviewer stephen holden ,
but it is deeply upsetting that eden is set in the united states and that the organization ' s boss , bob gault ( beau bridges ) , is a law - and - order - preaching united states marshal . we imagine this kind of crime flourishing in the shadows of eastern europe and the former soviet union . but in the united states , with a backslapping good old boy running the operation ? could it be ?
and secondly , how did she know they were ceo ' s , lawyers , cops , etc ? did they hand her business cards on their way out , after they banged her ? did the bishop at the local diocese show up to do the deed in his brocade ? good lord . we have reached the end of progressivism . we have run out of real bad guys , at least locally , and so now we have to turn to attention - starved fuglies to start making them up to give meaning and purpose to our lives .
to just point out the most obvious issue , the movie details a copious number of murders , several of them committed by the main character herself . this is standard issue for a hollywood film , but in real life , this amounts to mass murder , including the killing of multiple law - enforcement personnel . that ' s a major story—if this happened in anything like the way kim said , where ' s the massive investigation ? why is this being covered in an entertainment review , rather than on the front page ?
the familiarity here is the familiarity of exploitation tropes , which are clustered about so densely and insistently that it ' s hard to believe anyone missed them . ( . . . ) the film isn ' t badly made , as these things go—jamie chung as the lead hyun jae in particular is more talented than the script deserves . but that anyone took this clearly fanciful , clearly derivative fiction for fact is , in retrospect , somewhat shocking . even at the time , some folks saw through it ; sex worker mistress matisse tried to convince david schmader at the stranger that the whole thing was bunkum .

london : kegan , paul , trench , trübner , 1892 . octavo , early 20th - century three - quarter dark blue morocco , raised bands , elaborately gilt - decorated spine , top edge gilt , uncut ( original cloth cover and spine bound in at rear ) .
first trade edition of this lively collection of 19th - century verse including the titular poem about a notorious dandy highwayman , with 50 illustrations by hugh thomson ( 31 printed on japanese vellum ) , handsomely bound .
copperplate process by which the plate is “bitten” by exposure to acid . by changing the areas of the plate that are exposed and the length of time the plate is submerged in the acid bath , the engraver can obtain fine and varying shades of gray that closely resemble watercolor washes . although the name contains the word “tint” , this is a black - and - white printing process ; aquatint plates can often be hand colored , however .
used to describe a binding bearing the coat of arms of the original owner , or with bookplates incorporating the owner’s arms .
copy that belonged to someone connected with the author or the contents of a book .
hard front and rear covers of a bound book which are covered in cloth , leather or paper . “original boards” refers to cardboard - like front and back boards , from about 1700 to 1840 , used as temporary protection for books before their purchasers would have them bound . of particular value to collectors as evidence of a very early form of the book .
sheet printed on one side , typically for public display , usually larger than folio size ( a folio being a broadside - size sheet printed on both sides and folded once , to make four pages ) .
binding material made from cowhide—versatile , durable , usually tan or brown in color , of smooth texture with no or little apparent grain . readily marbled ( “tree calf” ) , mottled , diced , colored , polished , tooled in gilt or blind , even scented ( known as “russia” ) . reverse calf , with a distinctive suede - like texture , is occasionally used .
process by which the contents of a book are inspected for completeness , checking against internal evidence , the table of contents and / or plate list , and reference works . also a shorthand bibliographical description of a book’s composition by its leaves and signatures , rather than its pages . a - c , for example , would indicate a quarto volume composed of three signatures or gatherings of eight pages each for a total of 24 pages .
printed note at the end of a text containing information about the printing of the book .
( 12mo ) smaller than an octavo , typically less than six inches tall ; smaller formats , such as 24mo and 32mo , are uncommon .
print - run from a single setting of type without substantial change . depending on demand , any number of printings can be made from a setting of type for example , a first printing might consist of 1000 copies , followed by a second printing of 2500 copies ; in which case the book would have a first edition , first printing of 1000 copies , and a first edition , second printing of 2500 copies .
extra leaves—plain , colored or decorated—with which a bookbinder covers the insides of the book’s boards , therefore not part of the actual text block . the part of the leaf pasted to the inside of the front board is the front “pastedown , ” while the other part of the leaf that forms the first page of the book is the “front free endpaper” ; the same applies to the rear pastedown and rear free endpaper .
illustration produced by carving lines into a metal plate . this is an intaglio process , in which ink is poured over the plate , then wiped from the surface , leaving ink only in the recesses made by the engraver’s tools . the image is then transferred by pressing thick dampened paper against the metal plate with great force—requiring engravings to be printed on a separate stock and separate press from any text .
list of mistakes and corrections noted after printing , often compiled on a separate sheet or slip and inserted into the text block .
book composed of sheets that are folded once and printed on both sides , making two leaves and four pages . typically above 14 inches tall . oblong folios are produced the same way but bound at the short edge , producing a book typically more than 14 inches deep .
edge of the book furthest from the spine . occasionally the text of a book will be put into a specialized book press and painted , often with a scene from the book or a landscape , so that the painting is invisible when the book is closed but visible when somebody bends the text and fans the pages—known as a fore - edge painting .
light brown spots that naturally appear on some papers due to oxidation as they age .
single sheet of paper that has been printed and folded to form the pages required by the book’s format . a single gathering of a quarto book , then , would be a sheet folded twice , containing four leaves , eight pages of text . . gatherings are identified by a letter , symbol or number in the lower margin of the first page ( the “signature” ) to make it easy for the printer to stack them in proper order for sewing .
leaf preceding the title page that bears the book’s title , originally used to identify the unbound text block . the book’s binder would often remove and discard the half title at the time of binding . remaining half - titles are therefore of interest to collectors .
satement of place , publisher and date of publication on a book’s title page .
from the cradle of printing , i . e . , any book printed before 1501 .
a group of books issued by the publisher as a discrete unit . at times , issue refers to timing , such as the “first issue” being offered to the public at an earlier date than the “second issue . ” at other times , it refers to specially planned different batches , such as the “trade issue” ( widely available ) in opposition to a “signed limited issue” ( limited to a small amount of copies differing somehow from the trade issue and not widely available ) .
illustration produced by transferring an image drawn on a carefully prepared stone to paper . the process allowed illustrations to more closely resemble the original drawings , paintings or sketches , as it gave the lithographer a freedom of line impossible to achieve in earlier intaglio and relief processes . it does not require the same sort of pressure as an engraving to transfer the image , but still has to be printed on separate stock from the text
printer’s error in pagination , typically skipping , transposing or repeating page numbers . not uncommon in older , larger books , it is not considered a defect , so long as all integral leaves are present .
recently accomplished , when used to describe a book’s binding that is not the original casing . some books bound recently are bound using techniques , tools and styles of the period of the book’s original issue ; when done well this is called a period - style binding , a term that implies “modern” as well .
binding material made from goatskin—versatile , durable , with a distinctive pebbled texture and visible grain . readily stretched ( “straight - grain” ) , crushed ( flattened smooth ) , tooled in gilt or blind , inlaid with leathers of different colors . so - called because much of the raw material originally came from the tanneries of north africa ( other types of goatskin bindings denoting regions of origin include levant , turkey , niger ) .
binding executed with materials , tools and techniques to approximate the look of a contemporary binding from the period of the book’s publication . the term implies that the binding is modern , or recent , unless otherwise specified .
variation in text , illustration , design or format that allows a bibliographer to distinguish between different editions and different printings of the same edition , or between different states or issues of the same printing .
book given as a gift by its author , illustrator or publisher . sometimes refers to a volume given by a notable donor .
to supply a worn binding with a new spine , usually made of the same material as the rest of the binding and decorated to match . when feasible the binder may preserve the original spine and affix it to the new material , described as “rebacked with the original spine laid down . ”
to reattach a text block to its binding when it has become loose from its covers .
the front side of a leaf . the back side is known as the “verso . ”
printing or printings of a book made available for purchase by the general public on publication day ( as opposed to a limited edition , often available only by subscription ) .
when the edges of the text block ( most apparent at the fore and lower edges ) have not been trimmed to a uniform size , and are therefore characterized by a ragged or deckle edge . a book may be uncut but opened—i . e . , with a paper - knife—but all unopened books ( see below ) are by nature uncut as well .
when the folds of the sheets of paper making up the text block have not been trimmed away or opened with a paper - knife . while this makes it impossible to read all of the pages , it also indicates a probability that the text block has not been altered since leaving the printer .
binding material made from specially treated calfskin—durable , with a distinctive ivory color and smooth appearance . can be tooled in gilt or blind . so - called japan vellum ( or japon ) is a type of thick paper that has been polished smooth and given a glossy finish to resemble vellum .
the back or reverse side of a leaf or page . ( see “recto . ” )
illustration or textual decoration made by cutting away from the surface of a block of wood until the reverse of the image is left in relief ; this is then inked and pressed to the paper to leave the image . the woodblock , or multiple blocks , can be fit into the page along with the type , allowing text and illustrations to be printed in the same print run and share the same page ( not possible with engravings , which require thicker , damp paper and much more force ; nor with lithographs , which require a different printing process altogether ) . woodcuts preceded moveable type and are the earliest known printing technology .
engraving made with the graver or burin on the cross - section of a piece of boxwood ; the harder wood and finer tools allow for more delicate , finely detailed images , while the block can still be set in the page alongside text and printed on the same stock as the text . while much older , wood engravings enjoyed an important renaissance in the late eighteenth century through thomas bewick and continued in popularity thorugh the nineteenth century .
tiny pinhole - sized trails left by bookworms as they eat through a text block . much more common in older books printed on handmade papers with a high rag content than in books printed on manufactured papers made from wood pulp with a higher acidic content .
paper coverings—plain , marbled or printed—attached by stitches , staples or glue to a text block to identify it and afford it some protection ( though much more fragile than a binding in plain , cloth or leather - covered boards ) . more typical of slim and / or inexpensive volumes such as pamphlets . “self wrappers” are leaves , blank or printed , that are integral to the text block , conjugate with other leaves and from the same stock . “original wrappers , ” those attached at the time of issue , are scarce and extremely desirable to most collectors .

this immensely entertaining book , as stylish as its subject , tells the story of the man who became king of regency london society by sheer force of personality and has since fascinated people as diverse as baudelaire , barthes and virginia woolf . george brummell is a curiously modern figure ; the first english celebrity famous for being famous , though kelly never loses track of the extent to which he was also a man in and of a particular moment . byron declared : ' there are three great men of our age : myself , napoleon and brummell . but of we three , the greatest of all is brummell . '
it was a new , understated , less - is - more stylishness , in which extravagance was no longer to be expressed by perfume or jewellery ( he banned both ) but by perfection of line and exquisite cleanliness , the latter a sufficiently difficult and expensive enough business in 18th - century london to sort out the rich from the poor by itself .
one of the many pleasures of kelly ' s text is a splendid chapter on brummell ' s clothes , written with an informed passion for the tailor ' s art . he brings into focus what a sexy style brummell ' s was . he was tall , with an excellent figure , and the pale trousers he popularised , often made of stockinette or even chamois leather , were close - fitting , worn without underpants and framed by a dark cutaway coat to display the wearer ' s thighs and groin with the candour of a ballet dancer ' s tights .
the coat was artfully structured and padded to give at least the illusion of wide shoulders and a narrow waist . it all looked wonderful on brummell , less so on the averagely shapeless man , let alone the obese prince regent . later generations hung on to brummell ' s basic idea , but evolved a less taxing version : the three - piece suit .
sang - froid and stoicism were attributes necessary for surviving the brutality of the 18th century , but brummell transformed these contemporary virtues into something more like modern ' cool ' . it was the essence of his style : he was witty rather than warm ; sociable and attractive , without ever committing himself to relationships . kelly comments shrewdly that he liked the company of courtesans , being seen in dégagé pursuit of noted beauties and engineering situations that put girls at a disadvantage .
the only things he was serious about - his clothes and deportment - were so self - evidently absurd that his whole life looked like an elaborate practical joke . his humour was throwaway , and he won or lost fortunes at the gambling table with equal imperturbability , a posture that made him , for many years , impregnable .
brummell ' s charm is apparent even after 200 years . everyone wanted to know him and , after reading this book , you want to have known him too . he was humorous and reliably witty ; he had a very light touch . above all , he had the complete self - confidence that forced others to take him at his own valuation . though he was a rigorous snob , he was , paradoxically , the first commoner to rule english society .
his downfall came when he allowed himself to believe his own propaganda . cut by the prince regent , his temper flashed and he returned insult for insult . ' alvanley , ' he demanded , ' who ' s your fat friend ? ' but the prince regent ' s power was real , the dandy ' s fictive . george never forgot or forgave .
brummell ' s 23 years of glory as petronius to prinny ' s nero ended in a moment of hubris . twenty - four years of eclipse followed , culminating in his death of the man of pleasure ' s typical disease , syphilis . to live rich and die poor is hardly unusual for a celebrity , but there is a peculiar ugliness about a man of balletically exact deportment and almost unprecedented personal cleanliness ending his days drooling and doubly incontinent .
kelly argues that syphilis was taking its toll years earlier . towards the end of his reign , there were signs that brummell was losing touch with reality . the depression and headaches he was beginning to suffer may also have been caused by syphilis . but , while this is a tragic story , it is a tragedy of fashion , of a butterfly broken upon the wheel . brummell ruined himself ( and others ) but probably , if he could have foreseen the end , he would have gone on regardless .
in classical style , he lived for fame and achieved it ; he also had the saving grace of not taking himself too seriously . his biographer manages the remarkable feat of taking him just seriously enough , without ever descending into solemnity .

unlike his twin brother marcus , archie would rather go unnoticed , and he is very shy with girls . he is the brains of the pair , a computer genius and an amazing strategist . he is an excellent student and likes to have order in his life .
we study the evolution of allele frequencies for infinitely large populations subjected to mutations and assortative mating . haploid individuals are described by two biallelic genes , and assortativity is introduced by preventing mating between individuals whose alleles differ at both loci . in the absence of mutations , evolution leads to the disappearance of one of the alleles . however , a . . .

he is a charming youth , but impetuous , undisciplined and daring ; a don juan in the making who has not yet learned the rules of the mating game . he is extremely likeable , he loves to be the center of attention and he is not afraid of showing his emotions .
neutral models of speciation based on isolation by distance and assortative mating , termed topopatric , have shown to be successful in describing abundance distributions and species - area relationships . previous works have considered this type of process in the context of haploid genomes . here we discuss the implementation of two schemes of dominance to analyze the effects of diploidy : a . . .

for many species , including humans , matings occur among a restricted pool of partners . in humans , restrictions on the choice of partners are culturally determined and frequently are the result of homophily , namely , contacts among individuals that are similar on some dimension . marcus feldman , stanford university , discusses how the dimension may itself be culturally transmitted , and its transmission may affect the transmission of other characters , which may be genetically determined , but have nothing to do with the dimension on which the mating choice is based . socioeconomic choice of consanguineous marriage is an example ; it has important consequences for genetic variation in many populations around the world .

. . . as shown previously [ 14 ] , genetic restriction on mating alone does not lead to speciation but it does keep different existing species genetically isolated from one another . non - linear analysis of the underlying dynamics of the topopatric process of speciation was recently undertaken to give a quantitative description on how the genome size , the parameter controlling genetic assortative mating , and the mutation rate interplay 36 3738 . interestingly , the mechanism has a straightforward interpretation in terms of the ' error catastrophe ' predicted by eigen ' s quasi - species theory [ 39 ] . . . .
. . . the dynamical equations describing the evolution of haplotype frequencies in the general case of b loci and arbitrary g were recently derived and their solutions were obtained in the absence of mutations [ 14 ] . in a previous paper [ 15 ] we have analyzed in detail the dynamics of allele frequencies for infinitely large populations of haploid individuals not subjected to mutations . we considered the simplest case of two loci , b = 2 , and g = 1 , so that individuals whose alleles differ at both loci are considered incompatible and mating does not happen . . . .

organisms are often more likely to exchange genetic information with others that are similar to themselves . one of the most widely accepted mechanisms of rna virus recombination requires substantial sequence similarity between the parental rnas and is termed similarity - essential recombination . this mechanism may be considered analogous to assortative mating , an important form of non - random . . .

harvey marcus has a proclivity for ending up in sexual situations with family , friends and strangers . although he enjoys the opportunities presented to him , he rarely goes after his female companions . fortuitous situations just seem to happen . as he ' s learned , sex and humor are great partners . he never takes himself too seriously , and neither should you .
. . . finally we mention the higgs–derrida model [ 29 , 30 ] where loci are unlinked ( ab and ab map to different phenotypes ) but which considers the limit of infinitely many loci . in this paper we extend the results obtained in ref . [ 15 ] to include the effects of mutations . we show that , surprisingly , the function t remains constant for arbitrary values of the mutation rate . . . .

from the first lullaby sung to us as newborn babies , music provides the “soundtrack” of our lives . so much so that i think many of us take it for granted - - just as we do the soundtrack of a film , which we often hear without listening to it . that is , we enjoy the film without realizing how much the music conditions our reaction .

either way is quiet , simple and subtle but just in the right amount to not create boredom thanks to the character - driven plot . the film stands and falls with its lead actors . sveinn ólafur gunnarsson and hilmar guðjónsson deliver fantastic performances and make for an endearing and convincing odd couple . what the movie lacks in action , it has in human interaction .
when writing the script to á annan veg , hafsteinn gunnar sigurðsson and co - writer \ actor sveinn ólafur gunnarsson had a low budget in mind , so there aren’t really any special effects or huge set pieces and props , it’s all about the human relationships and the characters .
kofi annan made himself available to our cameras because i think he wanted people to come to understand what it is that a secretary - general does , and how the un works , and he recognized that television has the power to reach out to millions of people and show them .

in his role as secretary - general , kofi annan represents the highest ideals of the world community . the un charter is quite specific about the un ' s mandate :
to save future generations from the scourge of war ; to reaffirm faith in fundamental human rights ;
to promote social progress and better standards of living .
high ideals certainly point the way ( our own declaration of independence is an example ) , but i wanted to know how , in a real world of power politics , nuclear weapons , and terrorism , kofi annan leads the un in going about living up to them .

probably the real challenge in making a film like this was staying close to the secretary - general . one trick was to hang on to his security guards , who were terrific guys and extremely helpful . his staff was also helpful , but often he ' d be meeting with leaders from other countries who had no idea who we were , and there was no time to explain . many times we ' d be shut out of meetings , and we ' d have to find out later what had happened .

i want viewers to see what makes kofi annan ' s job so difficult . although the secretary - general represents the world ' s ideals , he doesn ' t have an army or very much money . the un budget is smaller than the budget of new york city . the only power the secretary - general has comes from his ability to persuade and the integrity of his office .

the music on the soundtrack comprises 16 new marsalis compositions and seven interpretations of material composed by w . c . handy , jelly roll morton ( three tracks were drawn from marsalis ' s 1999 release standard time , volume 6 : mr . jelly lord , a tribute to the music of morton ) , and others . conjuring up the early 1900s jazz that was current to johnson ' s life , the score provides the perfect backdrop to burns ' s film , capturing all the dramatic tension inherent in johnson ' s story , from the joy of ultimate triumph to the sadness of inescapable oppression .
marsalis has compiled a remarkable track record as a trumpeter , bandleader and composer . he has become the most recognized jazz artist in the world today . he serves as artistic director of the prestigious jazz at lincoln center , which celebrated the opening of its own dedicated facility in the fall of 2004 , and is renowned as a jazz stateseman  a role officially recognized in 2001 when united nations secretary general kofi annan proclaimed him an international ambassador of goodwill and appointed him a u . n . messenger of peace . marsalis has won nine grammy awards and is the first jazz musician ever to be honored with the prestigious pulitzer prize in music ( for his epic 1997 recording blood on the fields ) . he has produced 34 jazz and 11 classical records and sold more than seven million records worldwide .

i think i was pretty tensed - up about our arrival in afghanistan . i had no idea what to expect , and when we got off the un plane , the crush of reporters and cameramen pushing and shoving was a little frightening . but then to feel the excitement on the streets of afghanistan was exhilarating . the war was over , the taliban were gone , a new government was in place , girls were going back to school - - it felt , as the author william shawcross put it to me in an interview - - like
kabul spring .
it became very clear to me that the un was built on a paradox : on the one hand , it stands for universal principles - - the right to self - determination , the right to be free from torture and abuse , even the
right to development
- - but it is made up of member countries , each of whom considers its own sovereignty inviolable . the un is torn between moral imperatives and political realities .

lakeith stanfield and his sorry to bother you director boots riley discuss the stress of filming sex scenes .
the movie , produced by flickbook films and mystery island , is the impressive debut feature of icelandic director hafsteinn gunnar sigurðsson .
about the plot : set some time in the 1980s , two men working for the icelandic road administration spend a summer together painting the markings on a remote highway somewhere in the countryside .
finnbogi ( played by co - writer sveinn ólafur gunnarsson ) and alfreð ( hilmar guðjónsson ) aren’t much alike . finnbogi is a diligent , serious and quiet man with a strong sense of responsibility who is in a faithful long - distance relationship with a woman called rannveig with whom he frequently exchanges letters . as a favor to his girlfriend , he works with her younger brother , alfreð , a bubbly and talkative young lad who’s only interests are parties and to get laid . confined to the remote and isolated countryside with nobody else around but themselves , the two personalities clash .
alfreð and finnbogi barely tolerate each other at first , but ultimately share their deepest questions and possible answers about life and love . this results in hilarious and heart - warming moments such as the wheel - barrow race , finnbogi’s heartbreak over an unfortunate letter and alfreð ' s attempt to masturbate in their small tent . watching finnbogi and alfreð’s relationship unfold is touching and most entertaining .
worth mentioning is also árni filippusson’s excellent cinematography which is sumptuous and often speaks louder than words and perfectly captures the majestic icelandic landscape .
just like me , hollywood fell in love with either way . i’m very curious to see the remake starring paul rudd and emile hirsch .
katharina hauptmann is a freelance writer by day and a barmaid by night . the erasmus student exchange program brought her to iceland in 2006 and she fell passionately in love with iceland and made her permanent home in reykjavik . she spends her time writing , reading and observing people .

ashton kutcher later admitted in a interview that he hated doing the sex scenes with natalie portman because sex scenes in movies take so long and are tedious to do . in an interview with the online magazine mirror he said ,

i was shooting so many sex scenes i was getting tired of it ,
he says .
i never thought that anything related to sex would be something i ' d get tired of !
adam flinches and turns his head well before emma slaps him in the emergency room . not only was the slap unexpected , but adam had taken painkillers , so he should have been far less likely to react that quickly .
i had very low expectations for no strings attached . the couple would make the decision to use each , one would fall for the other , and in the end they would live happily ever after . i was correct about the overall story line , but , impressively , the writers found a way the mix in enough comedy to keep you entertained for the full 110 minutes . on top of that , there is enough cutsie romance to make for the perfect date night movie . comedy to make you laugh and romance to cheer up any romantic girl . . . . sounds like a romantic comedy to me ! natalie portman shows her range of acting abilities by having two extremely different films in theaters at the same time . i was thoroughly impressed with her ability to drop the comedic one liners and portray a unaffectionate woman who ' s fallen in love realistically . comparing this to her award - winning role in black swan made her abilities even more impressive . i cannot say the same for ashton kutcher . he has a great face and is great at comedic acting . however , each serious , romantic scene he was in became unrealistic and uncomfortable . overall , this is the perfect date night or girls night movie . it has some great comedic moments and brings in the romance that most ladies love to see . if you are looking for a light - hearted romantic comedy , this is a great choice . see more reviews at urltoken

dear colleagues and friends , i am delighted to welcome you to another lecture in this series . today , our subject is music .
“what’s that got to do with the un ? ” you may be asking . my answer is that music has to do with everything .
music penetrates almost every part of our lives : our rest , our entertainment , our education , and our worship .
throughout history , it has celebrated the triumphs and tragedies of life . as plato said , music “gives soul to the universe , wings to the mind , flight to the imagination” .
music both shapes and reflects society . dancers follow its beat ; protesters use it to find their voice . it can promote ideals - - like peace and solidarity - - but it can also prepare armies for battle . it is part of almost every important personal and collective moment .
but it is also mysterious . rhythm and pitch can be expressed as mathematical formulae ; and musicians know the techniques by which they produce a certain sound . but no scientist or musician can explain the power that music has over our emotions . that , surely , is what another greek writer had in mind , who said that song is a divine gift from god .
in a world of diversity where often values clash , music leaps across language barriers and unites people of quite different cultural backgrounds . and so , through music , all peoples can come together to make the world a more harmonious place .
you see , i am getting carried away i’d better stop - - i’m not the one who’s here to give the lecture . but luckily for you , you don’t have to listen to me giving the lecture ; that is not my plan . we have someone much better , much better qualified here with us to give that lecture - - professor leon botstein , who is president of bard college and music director and principal conductor of the american symphony orchestra .
the latest report issued by the food and agriculture organization warns today that time is running out for the world’s forests , whose total area is shrinking every day . forests provide around 20 per cent of income for rural households in developing countries and fuel for cooking and heating for 1 in every 3 people around the world .

the grammy award and pulitzer prize - winning trumpeter wynton marsalis has lent his superb compositional and performing talents to the creation of the original score for unforgivable blackness : the rise and fall of jack johnson . the companion soundtrack recording , on the blue note records label , is available from shoppbs .
marsalis and ken burns last worked together on burns ' s 2000 pbs documentary jazz , a 10 - part series that explored the history of jazz music , on which marsalis was senior creative consultant .
the musicians on the recording include many of marsalis ' s longtime bandmates and collaborators such as saxophonists wessell anderson and sherman irby , clarinetist victor goines , trombonists wycliffe gordon and delfeayo marsalis ( delfeayo also produced the sessions ) , pianist eric lewis , guitarist doug wamble , bassists regineald veal and rodney whitaker , and drummer herlin riley .
in 2004 , after a 20 - year association with columbia records , marsalis released his debut for legendary jazz label blue note records , the magic hour , to rave reviews . the cd , which found marsalis returning to an intimate quartet setting , was described in usa today as
upbeat , often playful and always swinging
and in the new york times as
a record of pared - down themes , rhythmic play , and open space ; it almost floats with a sense of casual , mischievous intelligence .
