The consultancy also said solar export figures available for the first two months of the year indicated likely further consolidation of the PV manufacturing market. Although the biggest eight manufacturers – Chinese giants JinkoSolar, Canadian Solar, Risen, Trina Solar, JA Solar, Longi Solar and Chint, plus Korean outfit Hanwha – surrendered 2% of their combined market share of cell and module exports in January, year-on-year, they saw their slice of the cake leap 7.7% in February, according to the AECEA.

Export figures also showed the changing structure of the global industry with module shipments of 5,486 MW up 3% year-on-year in January, and down half a percent in February, to 3,879 MW. By contrast, cell shipments of 1,078 MW in January and 805 MW in February were upNEA auction scheme for determining FIT payments, provinces are required to submit details of unsubsidized and FIT-backed projects, along with the power price tariffs offered by developers for the latter, with the central body due to confirm which projects will secure backing in June.

The AECEA said the next five-year plan is likely to see solar lumped into the same strategic policy basket as hydro, wind, biomass and geothermal facilities despite the different technologies being afforded their own strategies during the current plan. The consultancy also noted a stated intent by the authorities to focus on higher efficiency and project quality in future, rather than sheer volume of generation capacity.

China added 30.11 GW of new solar capacity last year, according to the AECEA, a fall of 32%


on the 2018 figure, with 12.2 GW of small scale projects – including 5.3 GW of residential rooftops – representing a 41% fall, year on year, and 17.91 GW of utility scale facilities an annual retreat of 23%.

The nation reportedly reached 204.3 GW of solar capacity by the end of December, for year-on-year growth of 17% and including 141.67 GW of utility scale projects. Shandong, which added 16.19 GW of solar in 2019, according to the AECEA, led the pack as one of ten regions which each had more than 10 GW of solar at that point and which accounted for 61% of Chinese solar capacity between them. Beijing, by contrast, had just 510 MW of solar at the end of the year, according to the consultancy. Theto the consultant, with administrative, managerial, technical and financial hurdles cited as the chief cause of those disappointing outcomes. Hebei province, in particular, reportedly only commissioned 7% of the solar projects allocated last year.

China reportedly connected around 4 GW of new solar in the first two months of this year although the AECEA stated around 1 GW of that was complete and awaiting a grid connection in December.

The consultancy predicted Covid-19 would delay project completions by up to six months and accordingly revised down its expectation for this year from the previous 34.5-37.5 GW to 23-31 GW. The analyst added, however, “Facing an unprecedented global crisis, currently in full swing, no end in sight yet, this present forecast is bound to be adjusted again in due course.”


Deep Silver: PS4 version of Metro: Last Light not in development

Deep Silver has put an end to rumors that arose out of an interview with Ukranian tech website ITCChannel. During the interview, 4A Games creative director Andrew Prokhorov said a few things that suggested Metro: Last Light would be released on PS4, and that it could come with the original game. It was also believed that the game could have a DLC season pass with five pieces of additional content and a multiplayer component that could release separately.

Turns out, some of Prokhorov's comments were lost in translation.

"It is no secret that 4A Games do want to release an SDK for Metro, finish the extremely promising multiplayer component and release this in some form, and investigate a PlayStation 4when she received her insurance payments, she could only consider a $200.00 or $300.00 purchase because she wanted the money for her children and she had already talked to a bank about depositing it. The agent invited himself back the following week together with the Executive Vice President4 of the company who would talk to her.

5
The malefactor arrived at the appointed time, represented himself as Executive Vice President of the company who had inside information and guaranteed that the stock would double in value within a year. The widow reiterated what she had told the agent previously regarding her children and the bank. The malefactor beguiled her with his reputation telling her he was a good Christian who did not drink or smoke and that, because she was


a widow, he wanted to help her. She agreed to buy $10,000.00 worth of stock and when she received the insurance money, paid for it.

6
Within thirteen days, the malefactor was back again with another $10,000.00 block of stock in the parent company, appellant herein, which he represented he was selling for an undisclosed principal.5 Succumbing to additional beguilement and extravagant representations, she purchased a $10,000.00 unit of this stock.

7
At the time of the transactions, the malefactor was the Executive Vice President of the allied company, the owner of 62,500 shares in the appellant parent company, and had worked as an insurance sales agent for the appellant financed by advances from it.

8
In April, 1964, the widow needed $2,000.00 and the allied company repurchased 2000 of her shares at $1.00per share. On June 30, 1964, the companies merged and the widow contacted the President of the merged corporation and was given the name of brokers handling the stock. The brokers advised her that her remaining $18,000.00 worth of shares were worth $2,000.00. The distraught widow sought legal counsel and this action ensued.

9
At the conclusion of the evidence, the trial court decided for the widow, giving her $18,000.00 together with interest from the dates she was relieved of her money. Exemplary damages in the amount of $10,000.00 were also awarded.

10
The decision of the trial court contained in the record conclusively establishes that the conscience of the court was shocked by the fraud perpetrated.

11
The court found: The malefactor was the agent of the parent company and the allied company,


There was conflicting evidence regarding the misrepresentation. Therefore, under the rule above stated, appellant is liable for the first sale of stock because of the malefactor's misrepresentations.

23
The second sale of stock owned by an undisclosed principal must be closely examined. The record discloses the malefactor owned 62,500 shares of stock in the parent corporation; that he was an insurance agent receiving advances from parent corporation for sales of insurance in Oklahoma; that he was sent to Missouri to form a corporation, which he did not accomplish; that he was conversant with the market value of the parent stock at the time of the sale; that he represented the sale was for an undisclosed principal; that the transaction was accomplished within thirteen days after his first misrepresentation.

Mary (Eutsler) Deuel

Mary Deuel, 75, Lusk, passed away Feb. 21, 2008 at the Wyoming Medical Center in Casper due to complications from surgery. Cremation has already taken place and memorial services will be held March 1, 2008 at 3:30 p.m. at the Lusk Elks Lodge #1797 in Lusk.

Mary was born to Joe and Hazel (Meeker) Eutsler May 13, 1932 at the family homestead northwest of Manville. Mary received her education at Stallman Country School and two years at Manville High School until she went to work to help her family when her father became ill. On Oct. 5, 1952 Mary married Darrell Deuel in Gering, Neb. Since Mary was born and raised on a ranch, she


enjoyed all aspects of ranch life. Mary and Darrell worked on several ranches in and around Niobrara County, until her husband went to work in the oil field.

Mary was a homemaker, and enjoyed bowling, fishing, reading, and taking care of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She loved watching the children play in the yard that her and her husband kept ready for them.

Mary was a past member of the DOES Drove #64 in Lusk as well as the DOES Drove #48 in Riverton.

She is survived by her husband, Darrell of Lusk; daughters Sandy Thomas and husband Fred, Polly Erlewine and husband Sam, both of Lusk; Darla Knuth and husband Ron, of Riverton; and Michelle Murphy of Grand Junction, Colo.; brothers Ted Eutsler of Buffalo; Dick Eutsler, and Jim Eutslerseries and oxysulfide series fluorescent powders have relatively high luminescent brightness and certain electric conductivity, but are liable to decompose under the bombardment of large beam electron beam to release elemental sulfur which “poisons” the pinpoint of the cathode, and produce other deposits which cover the surface of the fluorescent powders, reduce the fluorescent efficiency of the fluorescent powders, and shorten the service life of the field emission devices. The oxide fluorescent powders have good stability, but their luminescent efficiency is not high enough, and the materials are normally insulators. The performances of both materials still need to be improved.


X-Men director Bryan Singer has been hit with a second sexual assault lawsuit, this time from an anonymous Briton who alleges that when he was 17 he was abused by the film-maker at an afterparty for 2006's Superman Returns. Singer vehemently denies the fresh charges.

According to the Daily Beast, the teenager met Singer and Hollywood producer Gary Goddard at a London hotel where the film event was being staged. When he refused sex with Singer, a large musclebound man was brought to the room where he physically assaulted the teenager. Singer then allegedly attempted to penetrate the 17-year-old Briton.

According to the suit, the plaintiff "only recently became cognizant that he has suffered psychological and emotional injuries, mental anguish and loss of enjoyment of life as a result ofthe Defendants' sexual acts. Such injuries are severe, continuing, and permanent".

The lawsuit has been filed by Jeff Herman, who previously filed suits against Singer and Goddard, claiming they engaged in a Hollywood "sex abuse ring".

Plaintiff Michael F Egan III, who has waived his right to anonymity, claims he was abused by Singer, Goddard and others in Los Angeles and Hawaii as a 17-year-old during a period in which he was trying to make an acting career for himself in Hollywood. Herman, who handles sexual abuse cases across the US, has held several press conferences in Los Angeles to put forward his allegations.

Goddard, who directed the 1987 children's fantasy Masters of the Universe, is alleged to have groomed the anonymous British teenager after contacting him via social media.

Summerbridge Close was once Carlinghow Old Hall, an Elizabethan Manor House, a timber-framed building reputed to have been the home of the Eland family in the later Middle Ages. According to Sheard’s book, Records of Batley, it was built by Robert Eland, who died in 1521. The style of the timbering also suggests a 16th-century date, and there was, in 1968, a loose date-stone on site inscribed with the year 1505.

All that survived in the late 1960s, when the Hall was recorded in detail before its demolition, was a two-storey, two-bay timber-framed range with stone walling to the ground floor, and diagonal timber ‘stud’ walling with a stone slate infill (partly replaced by bricks) at first-floor level.

to dirty talk and trying to get into Luke’s wife’s very busy panties.

Where Love Has Gone flashes back 20 years or so to World War II, where all the stars look exactly the same as they did 20 years in the future. Luke is a regular Captain America, having won the Congressional Medal of Honor, while Valerie Hayden (Susan Haywood) is a rich girl who is a gifted sculptor. They meet at one of her shows and her mother, Gerald, immediately sets about trying to match the two up.

Valerie isn’t interested in Luke until she hears him telling off her mother. A quickie marriage ensues and a hilarious montage follows where World War II is rapidly finished up by about four newspaper headlines interspersed with Valerie’s hard atwork on her hideous sculptures as if to show that while Luke is risking his life for freedom, Valerie is keeping the American home front strong for pampered rich girls by carving ugly doodads for other wealthy morons.

Once back in civilian life, Luke sets about having his hopes and dreams obliterated by his pushy, scheming mother-in-law. Spurning her offer of a job at her business, Luke strikes out on his own with his dream of building homes to take advantage of the post-war demand for housing. Ultimately Gerald succeeds in emasculating the war hero by secretly sabotaging his efforts and forcing him to slink back to her and accept her job offer.

This begins the slow and fitfully funny downward spiral of Luke and his marriage to Valerie. He


by Joey Heatherton, refuses to tell anyone anything, but it is clear that she is jealous of her mother and that her childhood with her mother, while well provided for financially, was lacking emotionally.

The movie though doesn’t actually detail any of this because it is obsessed with showcasing the screaming melodramatics of the mother, father and mother-in-law. In fact, other than a brief mention by Luke of the “baby” early in the marriage, the child is never seen or referred to until the divorce hearing that wraps up the flashback.

Larry Klayman, a nationally known conservative lawyer, has filed court papers seeking to join Cliven Bundy’s defense team.

Klayman, the founder of the Washington-based public interest groups Judicial Watch and Freedom Watch, is known for his tenacious pursuit of litigation, mostly in support of a wide range of conservative and libertarian issues.

He said Wednesday that the Bundy family asked for his legal help. Bundy, 69, who is in federal custody, is facing criminal charges stemming from the April 12, 2014, armed standoff with law enforcement near the family ranch in Bunkerville. The two have met before, near Bunkerville shortly


after the standoff.

“Cliven, like all citizens, deserves a full defense and this is a very important case, not just for him and his family but for all citizens in Nevada and the country,” Klayman said Wednesday.

Bundy is now represented by Las Vegas attorney Joel Hansen, who is active in the ultraconservative Independent American Party of Nevada.

Klayman, who practices law primarily in Washington, D.C., said he wants to help Hansen defend Bundy as a private lawyer, not on behalf of Freedom Watch. He said he is no longer involved in Judicial Watch.

Though branded by liberal media organizations as a conspiracy theorist and a professional gadfly, Klayman is described on the Freedom Watch website as being known for his “strong public interest advocacy in furtherance of ethics in government andindividual freedoms and liberties.”

He once obtained a federal court order barring the National Security Agency from conducting telephonic surveillance, and he sued former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton over her private emails. He also questioned the legitimacy of President Barack Obama’s citizenship in civil litigation.

Klayman sued former President Bill Clinton so much during his two terms that the media called him Clinton’s legal “nemesis.”

Several years ago, he had run-ins with the professional bars of Florida and Washington, D.C., but was not found to have acted unethically as a lawyer, he said in his petition for admission to the Bundy case.

Klayman also said in the petition that two federal judges, one in California and the other in New York, “vindictively” banned him from their courtrooms years ago after he


accused them of making biased and prejudicial rulings.

Klayman would not comment further Wednesday about his planned representation of Bundy.

Chief U.S. District Judge Gloria Navarro has not yet given him permission to join the case.

Bundy faces an array of criminal charges stemming from the Bunkerville standoff. He and 18 others — including four of his sons — were indicted in Las Vegas earlier this month in connection with the showdown.

The Bundy patriarch faces 16 felony counts, including extortion, obstruction of justice, conspiracy to commit an offense against the United States, conspiracy to impede or injure a federal officer, assault on a federal officer, threatening a federal law enforcement officer, and using and carrying a firearm in a crime of violence.

report did not specifically mention the ABA Report, the Committee nevertheless appears to have revised several of its proposals in light of the ABA's recommendations, as noted below. The Court rescheduled oral argument in the consolidated cases for April 19, 2007, and published the revised proposals in the January 1, 2007, edition of The Florida Bar News. Comments were filed, and the Steering Committee, rather than filing a response, filed a second amended report with revised proposals addressing several issues raised in the comments. In the interim, four justices of this Court retired from their positions on the Court and their replacements were appointed.
In amending these penalty phase instructions, the Court's primary goal is to promote the use of accurate and complete instructions to guide the jury ina case against Bush. Jordana Grolnick, an actress who alleged that Bush groped her behind last year as his wife, Barbara, stood nearby, told The Associated Press that she has no plans to report the 41st president to authorities. That appears to be the only incident that hasn't reached the local statute of limitations on how long a crime can be prosecuted after it occurs.

The incidents occurred in three states over a decade. In all of the cases, the women say Bush touched their buttocks as they stood next to him to take photos. All three states have laws against touching someone without their consent.

The women's stories broadly follow the same outline: Bush patted them below the waist as they stood next to him to take photos, sometimes


with a joke about his favorite magician or writer being named "David Cop-a-Feel."

Bush has issued repeated apologies through a spokesman "to anyone he has offended." The spokesman, Jim McGrath, said in a statement last month that Bush has used a wheelchair for roughly five years, and that "his arm falls on the lower waist of people with whom he takes pictures." In a statement Monday, McGrath said, "George Bush simply does not have it in his heart to knowingly cause anyone distress, and he again apologizes to anyone he offended during a photo op."

McGrath did not respond to a request for additional comment Tuesday.

Actress Heather Lind was the first to accuse Bush of groping her, saying in an Oct. 24 Instagram post that Bush "touched me from behind"and told "a dirty joke" while they posed for a photo at a Houston screening of the AMC television series "Turn."

Six more women have come forward since then, including Roslyn Corrigan, who told Time magazine Monday that Bush groped her as they took a photo in 2003, when Corrigan was 16, during an event in The Woodlands, a Houston suburb. Broadway actress Megan Elizabeth Lewis also told NJ.com that Bush groped her at the performance of a musical in Houston in 2009.

The AP generally does not identify victims of sexual assault without their consent, but is using the names of women who have spoken publicly on social media or in news reports.

Four of the incidents are reported to have occurred in Texas. Shook said that under Texas law,


physical disability would factor into any determination, Settgast said, "I don't necessarily think that just because someone's infirm, they wouldn't be able to be held accountable."

Bush, who served as president from 1989 to 1993, is a beloved figure in both Texas and Maine, the two states where he lives. Two days after the first woman accused Bush of misconduct, Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner tweeted that Bush was "a statesman and role model to me." Days later, Bush joined his son, former President George W. Bush, on the field before Game 5 of baseball's World Series to throw out the ceremonial first pitch.the parking lot of Hoppy's Bar in Amelia, Clermont County, Ohio.

Daugherty was under the influence of alcohol at the time the accident occurred. On May 2,

2007, Daugherty was indicted on one count of aggravated vehicular homicide, with an

included specification due to his prior alcohol-related convictions, as well as two counts of

operating a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol (OVI).


     {¶ 3} To assist with his defense, Daugherty was represented by attorneys Gary L.

Knepp and W. Stephen Haynes. As part of their representation, Knepp and Haynes filed a

demand for discovery, a request for a bill of particulars, and a motion to suppress, among

others. Knepp and Haynes also entered into plea negotiations with the state. As a result of

these plea negotiations, Daugherty ultimately agreed to plead guilty to aggravated vehicular

homicide in exchange for the specification and two remaining OVI charges being dismissed.

The plea agreement also included an agreed mandatory eight-year prison term. Daugherty

subsequently entered his guilty plea on October 3, 2007. As part of his signed guilty plea

form, Daugherty explicitly acknowledged that he was satisfied with his attorneys' advice and

competence.

for resentencing, which the trial court also denied. Thereafter, on April 22, 2013, Daugherty

filed a motion to withdraw his guilty plea. In support of this motion, Daugherty argued he

should be entitled to withdraw his guilty plea because he received ineffective assistance of

counsel when one of his trial attorneys, Haynes, failed to disclose his alleged personal and

business ties with Robbers' uncle, Ken Foster.         Daugherty also alleged Haynes had

previously represented Hoppy's Bar, the location of where he struck and killed Robbers with

his vehicle. Daugherty, however, did not provide any evidence to support these contentions,

nor did he raise any issues in regards to the trial court's decision to accept and impose the

agreed mandatory eight-year prison term. As a result, the trial court denied

The rally also comes just as investors' nerves were seriously worn down by what had been the worst week for stocks in history. Last week, the Dow fell 1874 points, or 18.2%, the deepest loss in a one-week period in history. Much of the rally came from strength in the financial and materials stocks. The Dow Jones industrial average surged 936.42, or 11.08%, to 9,387.61. It was the Dow's largest-ever point gain.

New York (CNN) Once viewed as a routine diplomatic encounter, President Donald Trump's first formal meeting with his Ukrainian counterpart was transformed Wednesday into one of the most closely scrutinized encounters of his presidency as an impeachment crisis mounts.

Sitting in a Manhattan hotel meeting room, the men eagerly sought to deflect questions of wrongdoing after a White House transcript released earlier in the day showed Trump pressing Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate Joe Biden and his son. There is no evidence of wrongdoing by either Joe or Hunter Biden.

The call has formed the basis for Democrats' impeachment probe, and has thrown Trump's presidency into turmoil. But as camera shutters whirred, Trump and Zelensky insisted nothing was untoward.

"There was no pressure," Trump insisted, denying allegations he was usinghis position of power to prod Ukraine into investigating a political rival.

"Nobody pushed me," Zelensky chimed in, denying he felt coerced by Trump to launch a probe. Instead, he suggested he was an unwilling participant in an American political firestorm.

"I'm sorry but I don't want to be involved (in) democratic open elections of USA," he said after consulting with a translator.

It may be too late for that. The controversy over Trump's dealings with Zelensky have massed into a political and diplomatic watershed, with Ukraine squarely in the center.

Trump remained defiant during a rambling Wednesday afternoon news conference that he "didn't threaten anybody."

"No push, no pressure, no nothing," Trump said. "It's all a hoax, folks."

Trump added, "I didn't do it. There was no quid pro quo. But there was


the call that we released."

The mid-afternoon meeting between Trump and Zelensky was arranged well before the whistleblower controversy exploded into public view, according to people familiar with the plans. Aides initially did not view it as a major highlight of Trump's agenda at this week's United Nations meetings, which they expected would focus heavily on Iran and not on the questions of abuse of power.

When news emerged that an intelligence whistleblower had filed a complaint related to Trump and Ukraine -- and later that it was related to Trump's July phone call with Zelensky -- White House officials began to view the meeting as an important venue for Trump to counter Democratic accusations of wrongdoing.

Trump began by making light of the matter, telling reporters that Zelensky "made memore famous and I've made him more famous."

And later his attention seemed to drift, recalling his onetime ownership of the Miss Universe pageant, won once by a Ukrainian contestant.

But the mood turned grave as Zelensky -- himself a former television personality whose entry into politics was as unlikely as Trump's -- raised Russia's annexation of Crimea.

"If you remember, you lost Crimea during a different administration. Not during the Trump administration," Trump insisted, ascribing the invasion to his predecessor Barack Obama.

Asked whether he wants Zelensky to do more to investigate Biden, Trump said, "No, I want him to do whatever he can."

The evening before the meeting, Trump and Zelensky greeted each other at a diplomatic reception hosted by the American President for fellow leaders visiting New York for the


Trump's personal attorney Rudy Giuliani and his Ukrainian interlocutors.

Speaking during the meeting, Trump praised Giuliani, his private attorney, for pushing Ukrainian officials to investigate Biden, saying he was demonstrating admirable verve.

"Rudy Giuliani is a great lawyer, he was a great mayor, he's highly respected. I've watched the passion he's had on television over the last few days. Incredible what he's done," Trump said.

The sit-down between Trump and Zelensky on Wednesday was not originally meant to be their first meeting. Trump had agreed to meet Zelensky earlier this month in Poland, where he was planning to commemorate the anniversary of the outbreak of World War II.

When a hurricane forced him to cancel his plans, Mike Pence went in his place and met with Zelensky in Warsaw . Afterward, Pencewas asked whether the Biden matter arose in the talks. He said no, but did turn quickly to the issue of corruption in Ukraine.

Trump and Zelensky have spoken by phone twice: once immediately following Ukrainian elections in April, and again in July. The latter conversation has become the focal point for Democrats after an intelligence whistleblower raised concerns about Ukraine and Russia.

In the months following Zelensky's election, Trump showed little interest in meeting him, believing Ukraine to be an intractably corrupt country. He ascribed Russia's annexation of part of the country to his predecessor, who he repeatedly blamed for "losing" Crimea.

But as Giuliani began raising the issue of Biden and his son, Trump's interest was piqued. He was also convinced by top national security aides, including then-national security


forward to seeing her, and in the end?

In the end, someone just trampled on you and left you with no self esteem at all.

After Song Xiangsi left The Capital Club, she went straight back to Su Yuan apartments.

She stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, stared at the golden sunlight with a muddled mind.

She knew that she would eventually be affected by Xu Jiamu.

But, no matter how he affected her, she knew in her heart that she and him would never be able to be together.

She wasn't the same Song Xiangsi from eleven years ago. When she was young, she had plenty of time to fall in love, to wait, and to be free. The Song Xiangsi now was already thirty years old with a two and ahalf year old daughter, and she'd long lost her money and courage.

Nobody knew how she had felt waking up to his phone call to hear "How could I marry her".

Nor did anybody know how she had struggled for a long time since she heard those words till the first time she broke up with him. At the time, she forced herself to smile, and be gentle and considerate. While behind his back, she would often cry and slip into a trance.

Song Xiangsi realized that she was thinking too much about the past. She hastily shook her head, and pulled back her thoughts. Just as she was about to turn around to the living room, the phone in her pocket started to ring.

She pulled it out and saw that


it was an unknown number. She hesitated for a moment and picked it up. "Excuse me, is this Song Xiangsi, Miss Song?"

Song Xiangsi hesitated for a moment, then said, "Yes."

"Hello, this is the District One Hospital. There was a car accident at the Ring South Road. The license plate read 643. There was an adult and a three year old little girl in the vehicle. Both of them have been sent to the hospital. The adult is in a coma with no major injuries, but the little girl is in a severe condition..."

When Song Xiangsi heard this, her phone fell crashing to the ground with a "Pa!" without any warning.

Car crash. Little girl. The situation was catastrophic... was Little Red Bean in an accident?

Song Xiangsi felt her worldspin. But soon enough, she quickly stabilized herself, swiftly picked up her bag, and ran out the door.

Xu Jiamu sat in The Capital Club till four before he paid and left.

At night, he had a meeting, so he quickly drove back to the company entrance. Eventually, he pulled out his phone and called his secretary to postpone the meeting to two days later. Then he turned the car around and headed back to Mian Xiu Garden.

When he reached it, he saw Lu Jinnian's car drive in behind him. Xu Jiamu didn't turn into the courtyard but stopped directly at the villa's entrance.

TV but which Mad Men has made a point of getting right — clothes, hairstyles, daily living, and food.

Ironically, many paradigm shifts come through an aggregation of change in small details. It comes from the bottom up instead of the top down. And it starts with simple changes in attitude, perception, and taste.

In the mid-century, that shift started when young American soldiers returned home from World War II. Having experienced different cultures from Japan, Germany, France, and the Hawaiian islands, they became less provincial and more worldly. Thanks to the booming economy, they had the means to explore newly acquired tastes when the opportunity arose.

Food – central to human experience – also saw its paradigm shift in the mid-century. The popularity of Julia Child’s 1961 book Mastering TheArt of French Cooking and the proliferation of tiki lounges like Trader Vic’s show that the war time locations of France and Hawaii made quite an impact.

A new book explores both the micro-changes of food in the mid-century paradigm shift and its place in the Mad Men TV series: The Unofficial Mad Men Cookbook by Judy Gelman and Peter Zheutlin.

we wanted the focus groups to be as similar as possible concerning the number of inhabitants and geographical location. The safety promotion work had been initiated about 10 years before the designation. The first group will be referred to as \'ed municipalities\' (ed = early designated), and the second as \'ld municipalities\' (ld = later designated). The ed group contained four medium-sized and one sparsely populated municipality, while the ld group contained one suburban, one sparsely populated, one industrial, and two large municipalities. Four of the ed municipalities had a decreasing in-patient injury trend, while three of the ld municipalities had an increasing number of in-patients between the years 1987--1989 and 2000--2002.\[[@B25]\] Different parts of Sweden were represented, but with a focus on the country\'s south-west. Injuries wereintegrated into other responsibilities of the administration.

Data collection
---------------

The research team planned four focus group sessions with five participants in each group, one with local government officials from ed municipalities, one with local government politicians from the same communities, one with officials from ld municipalities, and one with local government politicians from the same municipalities.

The interview guide contained questions about how the participants defined success in community-based safety work, what was perceived to work and not to work in the municipality, perceived support for safety work, networks, the impact of contextual factors, and evaluations.

In March 2007, one of the authors moderated the four sessions. An observer helped, prompting with questions that had not been covered, at the end of the session, according to an established procedure.\[[@B28],[@B29]\] often used by


into the following eight categories: collaboration, municipality administration, funding, attitude, public health coordinator, information, visible profile and integration into routines. We tried to create distinct categories, each comprising an individual meaning unit that would not fit into another category. The categories are developed further in the results section.

The reliability was tested by intra-rater reliability. The first author tested her own results by repeating part of the coding. Inter-rater reliability was not tested, but the results were discussed among a group with extended experience of safety research consisting of researchers and representatives from the Swedish National Institute of Public Health, the national Board on Health and Welfare, the Karolinska Institute and Umeå University. All authors agreed on the findings.

Officials\' and politicians\' statements were kept apart at the beginning ofprovided the means for two-way communication with the elderly population. Other organizations mentioned were the Red Cross, churches and schools.

In the ed municipalities, the communication channels that had been established between the municipal administration and the residents were mainly described as making it possible to inform the public about the connection between behaviour and risk of injury. This was perceived to be a successful structure for distributing injury prevention information, for example, through children\'s health centres and schools.

The local government\'s interaction with other institutional actors
-------------------------------------------------------------------

The reports of collaboration with national institutions such as the Swedish National Institute of Public Health and the Swedish National Rescue Service Agency were mixed in both municipality groups, some being described as supportive and others as lacking engagement. The Karolinska Institute\'s role was


described as unclear. Ld municipalities reported collaboration problems with the National Rail Administration and the National Road Administration. Personal contacts rather than the organization itself determine whether the collaboration works and is sustained, according to the participants from ld municipalities. Networks and visits between municipalities were reported to positively influence the safety work by facilitating the exchange of ideas.

A general feeling of security among residents was emphasized by both municipality groups as perhaps the most important aim of safety promotion. In other words, crime prevention was an important part of the programmes and the police were seen as central collaborative partners. The need for local police offices was discussed in the ld municipalities. In urban planning, crime prevention was considered, as reported by the ld municipalities. The countycouncils and the municipalities were perceived to have common interests and therefore cooperation between these institutions of local government was seen as important for sustainability. According to ld municipalities, cooperation had been better in the past.

### Funding

Focused investments in key areas, especially at the beginning of the process, were considered essential for the establishment of safety programmes. One example mentioned was the area of traffic safety; a structure was in place for traffic safety activities before the designation, but this area still received special funding. Therefore, the traffic safety activities were considered external to the Safe Community programme. The participants from ed municipalities reported that they had received financial support from the county council, which was perceived to be important since the municipalities often lacked their own funding


Nothing says "Saskatchewan" quite like spending a night inside an old grain bin.

In recent years two families in the province have converted decommissioned round metal grain bins into unlikely accommodations, and opened their yards for visitors to stay.

Grain farmer April Anderson and her husband run Alive Sky Lodge, outside of Rosetown, Sask., about an hour's drive from Saskatoon.

The property's accommodations include Canada's original four-season luxury grain bin, April Anderson says — they've dubbed it BINcredible and it is generally booked full from May through to August.

"We were trying to think of what we could build that would be quintessential prairie accommodation," said Anderson.

A view of the inside of a four-season luxury grain bin at Alive Sky Lodge and BINcredible near Rosetown, Sask, is shown in a handout photo.(The Canadian Press/HO-April Anderson )

The interior of their swanky grain bin features a vaulted ceiling with some of the bin's original metal finish along the wall. It also has a bed, kitchenette, in-floor heat and fireplace.

It's designed to help people feel pampered and unplug, Anderson says.

She's passionate about giving visitors an authentic farm experience, which is why they are insured to ride along on their family's farm equipment.

They are also strong believers in promoting rural Saskatchewan through agri-tourism, and Anderson says the bin has sparked conversations with curious guests, some of whom hail from Europe and the United States.

Julie Hilling and her husband are retired grain farmers near Moose Jaw, Sask., who heard there was a lack of group camping in their area close to Buffalo Pound Provincial


Park.

This past June, they opened the Bin There Campground after transforming six leftover grain bins into two-floor cabins with skylights and an old seed-cleaning plant into a hall.

"I call this whole operation here 'Saskatchewan recycling,"' Hilling said.

Some of their bins are from the '70s and '80s, and at first it was a challenge to do the carpentry work inside because of their round shape, she said.

Hilling is surprised by their popularity and by how many people are looking for somewhere different to stay.

Both she and Anderson agree spending the night inside an old grain bin is a novelty for guests, butPowhatan County, Virginia

Powhatan County () is a county located in the Commonwealth of Virginia. As of the 2010 census, the population was 28,046. Its county seat is Powhatan.

Powhatan County is included in the Greater Richmond Region.

The James River forms the county's northern border, and the Appomattox River is on the south side.  The county is named for the paramount chief of the powerful confederacy of tribes of Algonquian-speaking Native Americans in the Tidewater in 1607, when the British settled at Jamestown. Historically this Piedmont area had been occupied by the Siouan-speaking Monacan. They moved further west, abandoning villages in this area, under pressure from colonists.

In 1700 French Huguenot refugees settled at a Monacan abandoned village, which they renamed as Manakin Town. It was located about 20 miles

solo. The bulk of the program was composed of works by such lesser composers as Stanley, Schwindl, Abel, and Ricci, but also included music by Stamitz, Handel, and J.C. Bach." In addition to performing, Flagg also organized some events at the hall. In February, 1771, Flagg presented works by Bach and Handel, performed by violinist W.S. Morgan, and the 64th Regiment Military Band.

Other concerts included one by David Propert, organist at Trinity Church, who gave a concert on October 15, 1771. In 1774, Mr. Selby "... played a harpsichord concerto in concerts sponsored by W. S. Morgan."

The Concert Hall was also used for dancing classes. Charles Pelham (b.1722) advertised dancing lessons in 1762: "Charles Pelham hereby informs all the Gentlemen and Ladies in Town and Country that heSince the 2008 crisis, practically the entire developed world has been stuck in an economic sandpit. Not only have most nations not fixed their economies, they have almost totally abandoned attempting to fix them. Outside of some halfhearted monetary stimulus, they have instead chosen to make the problem worse with job-killing austerity.

As a result, 2008 is looking increasingly like a global hinge point in economic development, where the steady upward trend in per capita GDP from the Industrial Revolution through the early 21st century slowed dramatically. The potential implications are colossal. In the U.S. alone, estimates of the gap between potential and actual economic output are today about $500 billion per year — which has decreased from over $1 trillion in 2009 mainly through the slow erosion in


and push money into the economy, it would simply give the new money directly to citizens. It's fiscal policy because it involves transfers of money to individuals (rather than control of the money supply), but it's also monetary policy because the transfers are financed with new money rather than taxes.

Such a policy have several key advantages in today's economic environment. First, it works fast. Shocks to aggregate demand (as in 2007-8, when a credit crisis destroyed businesses, causing layoffs, which reduced overall spending, causing more layoffs, and so on) can gather force very fast. Instead of relying on the indirect route of fiddling with the supply of credit, or waiting for Congress to stop picking its nose and pass a spending bill, the central bank can put money2007 it was thought that huge collapses in aggregate demand simply wouldn't happen, and if they did, economists and politics had learned the lessons of the past, and the problem would quickly be fixed.

But despite the fact that most nations managed at least some Keynesian policy in 2008, they couldn't keep doing it. Instead, an incomprehensible and maddening fixation with austerity — spending cuts and balanced budgets — swept the elite of almost the whole developed world. It was something like crying "Fire! Fire!" during Noah's Flood, and it placed a new spending policy very far out of political reach.

The only real comparison with 2008 as a world economic hinge point is 1929. There the downturn was much worse, but all the economic damage was eventually undone by

Angela Merkel has used the first, agenda-setting speech of her third term in office to criticise America's uncompromising defence of its surveillance activities.

In a speech otherwise typically short of strong emotion or rhetorical flourishes, the German chancellor found relatively strong words on NSA surveillance, two days before the US secretary of state, John Kerry, is due to visit Berlin.

"A programme in which the end justifies all means, in which everything that is technically possible is then acted out, violates trust and spreads mistrust," she said. "In the end, it produces not more but less security."

Merkel emphasised the need for wider access to the internet for citizens: "We want to make sure the internet retains its promise. That's why we want to protect it".

In outlining her government's digital agenda,she once again described the internet as Neuland, or virgin territory, a phrase previously mocked by activists who have for some time been urging the German chancellor to make data protection a priority.

Merkel balanced criticism of the US with praise, insisting: "Germany can't imagine a better ally than the United States of America." She admitted that Germany and the US were still far from coming to an agreement over a "no-spy pact", similar to the arrangement between the US and Britain, but she said she would not support using a suspension of the free trade agreement with the US as a bargaining tool.

In the rest of her speech, which was frequently interrupted by interjections from Green and Left party MPs, Merkel used familiar phrases to cover familiar themes.


Europe's crisis might have vanished from the top headlines but it was far from over, she said; member states needed to "do their homework" and keep up with reforms.

As her finance minister Wolfgang Schäuble, had done earlier this week, she reaffirmed the need for a financial transaction tax (Tobin tax) and tighter financial regulation, saying: "If banks take risks, they must pay for the losses – not the taxpayer".

Germany benefited from free movement within the EU but needed to be vigilant about possible abuse of immigration and social security systems, she said.The London film festival has presented me with an exciting discovery this year: the South African film-maker Jahmil XT Qubeka, who brings some scalding steam-heat with a sensational noir thriller in black and white called Of Good Report. (It is actually his third feature, following two previous films, uMalusi and A Small Town Called Descent, which have yet to show up on IMDb.) Watching this brazenly shocking and gripping film, I remembered the feeling I had on seeing Christopher Nolan's low-budget black-and-white debut, Following. Here is a director who is going places.

The drama concerns a shy, spindly, bespectacled young man called Parker Sithole, played by Mothusi Magano. He has an enigmatic, stricken look – like Jack Nance in Eraserhead or Anthony Perkins in Psycho. Parker is new in


town, having turned up to take a job teaching English literature in a high school: we see him earnestly preparing lessons on Keats and Shakespeare. He is, as his headteacher puts it, "of good report", with a great degree result and fine references. But his landlady (Nomhlé Nkyonyeni) doesn't trust this quiet, secretive new tenant, and Parker's male colleague, a boozy reprobate called Vuyani (Tshamano Sebe) recognises a strange darkness in him. Parker is troubled by family memories and flashbacks to gruesome military service in the Democratic Republic of Congo, and his lethally non-mousy side is revealed when there is a spark of desire between him and a pert teenage girl in his class played by Petronella Tshuma. Her name is Nolitha: it can be misheard as "Lolita".Their affair unleashes a macabre spasm of sexual obsession and violence.

The atmosphere throughout is disturbing and strange: the monochrome cinematography conveys classic Hollywood noir, but also something otherworldly, or surreal, like something happening on another planet or underwater, and liable at any moment to lurch into the most bizarre black comedy. When Parker is prevailed upon to take tango lessons with the school's dance teacher, Squeeza (Thobi Mkhwanazi) – who seems incidentally to have a bit of a crush on him — Qubeka conjures a fantasy sequence, like something from the musical Chicago, which dramatises Parker's clenched, nervous hysteria. There is an extravagant suspense scene in the girls' school lavatories and a delicious near-miss for Parker late on – both scenes of which Hitchcock might have approved.

The grim


outcome of his affair with Nolitha triggers a traumatised flashback memory to the DRC, and a certain stumble on a bridge at night-time carries Parker back, like a Proustian madeleine, to a horribly embarrassing moment in his graduation ceremony. Qubeka cleverly and repeatedly brings in the two aspects of Parker's personality that don't exactly fit the banal stereotype of the teacher-perv. One is that he is someone of genuinely high academic promise (which perhaps puts him closer to Nabokov's refined Humbert Humbert) and the other is that he has seen some tough military service, apparently with a UN force. Was the military a failed career decision for Parker? Did his intellectual seriousness at some stage find expression in a need to serve in the armed forces, a lifedecision that came to a terrible end? We never discover anything about the beginning, middle or end of his military identity, other than fragments of horror, which in turn blend with the terrible family secret he carries with him. It is an enigma that radiates fear into every corner of the film. It's edge-of-the-seat stuff.

incapacity and vertigo of the United States. They have come to Syria incorrectly and in a wrong way, and they have to go or others make them go,” Qasemi said, according to IRNA.

The comments came a day after a rare acknowledgement of Israeli involvement in Syria from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who on Sunday confirmed that Israel conducted an airstrike against Iranian targets in Syria over the weekend. The strike destroyed a number of weapons caches in the Damascus airport, Netanyahu said.

Israel typically refrains from commenting on individual airstrikes in Syria, but does generally acknowledge that it carries out raids against Iranian- and Hezbollah-linked targets in the country.

Fay Wray born Vina Fay Wray was a Canadian/American actress . She was born in September 15, 1907 on a ranch near Cardston in the province of Alberta, Canada, to Mormon parents, Elvina Marguerite and Joseph Heber Wray.

She was one of six children and was a granddaughter of Daniel Webster Jones. Wray was never a Mormon herself. Her family returned to the United States a few years after she was born; they moved to Salt Lake City in 1912 and moved to Lark, Utah in 1914. In 1919, the Wray family returned to Salt Lake City, and then relocated to Hollywood, where Fay attended Hollywood High School.After moving again to California, her parents divorced, which put the rest of the family in hard times. Being in


entertainment-rich Los Angeles, there was ample opportunity to take advantage of the chances that might come her way in the entertainment industry. At the age of 16, Fay played her first role in a motion picture, albeit a small one.

Fay Wray Marriage

Fay Wray Career

In 1923, Wray appeared in her first film at the age of 16, when she landed a role in a short historical film sponsored by a local newspaper. In the 1920s, Wray landed a major role in the silent film The Coast Patrol (1925), as well as uncredited bit parts at the Hal Roach Studios. In 1926, the Western Association of Motion Picture Advertisers selected Wray as one of the “WAMPAS Baby Stars”, a group of women whom they believed to be on the threshold of movie stardom. She was at the time under contract to Universal Studios, mostly co-starring in low-budget Westerns opposite Buck Jones.The


following year, Wray was signed to a contract with Paramount Pictures. In 1928, director Erich von Stroheim cast her as the main female lead in his film The Wedding March, released by Paramount. While the film was noted for its high budget and production values, it was a financial failure, but gave Wray her first lead role. Wray stayed with Paramount to make more than a dozen films and to make the transition from silent films to “talkie” films.

She continued to star in various films, including The Richest Girl in the World, a second film with Joel McCrea, but by the early 1940s, her appearances became less frequent. She retired from acting in 1942 after her second marriage but due to financial exigencies soon resumed her acting career,and over the next three decades, Wray appeared in several film roles and also frequently on television. Wray was cast in the 1953-54 ABC situation comedy, The Pride of the Family, as Catherine Morrison. Paul Hartman played her husband, Albie Morrison. Natalie Wood and Robert Hyatt played their children, Ann and Junior Morrison, respectively. In 1955, Wray appeared with fellow WAPMAS Baby Star, Joan Crawford in Queen Bee.

Wray appeared in three episodes of CBS’s courtroom drama Perry Mason, the first of which was “The Case Of The Prodigal Parent” (episode 1-36) aired June 7, 1958. She portrayed murder victim Lorna Thomas in “The Case of the Watery Witness” in 1959. In 1959, Wray was cast as Tula Marsh in the episode “The Second Happiest Day” of the CBS


anthology series Playhouse 90. Other roles around this time were in the episodes “Dip in the Pool” and “The Morning After” of CBS’s Alfred Hitchcock Presents. In 1960, she appeared as Clara in an episode of 77 Sunset Strip, “Who Killed Cock Robin?”. Another 1960 role was that of Mrs. Staunton, with Gigi Perreau as her daughter, in the episode “Flight from Terror” of the ABC adventure series, The Islanders.

Wray appeared in a 1961 episode of The Real McCoys titled “Theatre in the Barn”. In 1963, she played Mrs. Brubaker in the episode “You’re So Smart, Why Can’t You Be Good?” of the NBC medical drama about psychiatry, The Eleventh Hour. In 1965, she played voodoo practitioner Mignon Germaine in “The Case of the Fatal Fetish”. She endedher acting career in the 1980 made-for-television film, Gideon’s Trumpet.In 1988, she published her autobiography, On the Other Hand. In her later years, Wray continued to make public appearances. In 1991, she was crowned Queen of the Beaux Arts Ball presiding with King Herbert Huncke.

She was approached by James Cameron to play the part of Rose Dawson Calvert for his 1997 blockbuster Titanic with Kate Winslet to play her younger self, but she turned down the role and the part of Rose was given to Gloria Stuart. She was a special guest at the 70th Academy Awards, where the show’s host, Billy Crystal, introduced her as the “Beauty who charmed the Beast”. She was the only 1920s Hollywood actress in attendance that evening (with fellow 1930’s actress Gloria


Stuart winning an award, while male contemporaries Bob Hope and Milton Berle, with Sid Caesar were present).On October 3, 1998, she appeared at the Pine Bluff Film Festival, which showed “The Wedding March” (with live orchestral accompaniment).

In January 2003, the 95-year-old Wray appeared at the 2003 Palm Beach International Film Festival to celebrate the Rick McKay documentary film Broadway: The Golden Age, by the Legends Who Were There, where she was also honored with a “Legend in Film” award. In her later years, she also visited the Empire State Building frequently, once visiting in 1991 as a guest of honor at the building’s 60th anniversary, and also in May 2004, which was among her last public appearances.

It might not be as glamorous as Cannes or as cool as Sundance, but the Los Angeles Film Festival has just as much to offer as its larger counterparts.


well-known cast through spoofs of such classics as When Harry Met Sally, Annie Hall, The Graduate and the sharp-elbowed comedies of Tracy and Hepburn. Each gag makes you wish you were watching the original, although a clench between Joel and his grandmother (Lynn Cohen) that almost leads to incestuous coupling deserves credit for sheer audacity. Most of the time, however, the actors on the screen seem to be having much more fun than the audience will." - David D'Arcy, Screen Daily
Cut Bank A small town crime drama set in Cut Bank, Montana that centers on a former high school football star (Liam Hemsworth) desperate to find a way out of his town. After he accidentally films the murder of the town mailman, he is offered a reward thatwould give him enough money to leave for good, but things aren't a simple as they seem, and he finds himself caught in a tangled web of deception and danger.
"...Shakman lets the scenes unfurl with a clunky pace and little verve, simply exaggerating the irony and naivety in the town as his main go-to points. It only makes sense that [John] Malkovich’s sheriff has never fired his gun and carries an aversion to violence; likewise with Palmer, who itches non-stop after a Miss Cut Bank pageant title even while she wants nothing more than to skip town. Thankfully humor seeps in through the edges of the film and its characters, sometimes on purpose and other times not." - Charlie Schmidlin, The Playlist

Dear White People A satire of college


movies that tackles race relations and privilege in society, Dear White People follows four students as an Ivy League university — golden boy Troy (Brandon P. Bell), activist radio host Samantha (Tessa Thompson), Colendra "Coco" Conners (Teyona Parris), who has dreams of being a reality TV star, and shy misfit Lionel Higgins (Tyler James Williams) — after a planned "African American"-themed party thrown by a group of white students starts a riot on campus.
"If it ultimately feels modestly edgy rather than shocking or dangerous, 'Dear White People' nonetheless provokes admiration for having bothered to ask some of the hard questions without pretending to know any of the answers. It also works as a fine showcase for its actors: Fleshing out characters that could have been little more thanone-note mouthpieces, Williams, Thompson, Parris and Bell all make strong, distinctive impressions, with Thompson perhaps the standout as the film’s sharpest and most enigmatic figure." - Justin Chang, Variety
The Last Time You Had Fun With a cast full of comedians and sitcom alums, The Last Time You Had Fun puts a grown-up twist on the standard "wild night out" comedy. After Ida (Eliza Coupe) forces her sister Alison (Mary Elizabeth Ellis) to blow off some steam with her, they find themselves bickering and partying with Clark (Kyle Bornheimer) and the sweatpants-clad Will (Demetri Martin), as the four of them attempt to have the most fun that four older, dysfunctional adults could possibly have.
"Granted, the excesses of Bridesmaids or The Hangover are not essential to sparkling relationship comedy, but


Fun lacks an edge, or even much of an attitude. Blandly risqué situations, featherweight banter and a hint of implied sexual impropriety have all the heft of an extended cable sitcom episode. Or maybe it’s the casting, which draws extensively on the TV comedy background of the four leads, who all acquit themselves adequately but can’t achieve sufficient character differentiation within the ensemble. Undistinguished locations, flat lighting and primarily static setups perpetuate the small-screen aesthetic, which at least bodes well for the film’s transition to home entertainment formats." - Justin Lowe, The Hollywood Reporter
Echo Park The debut film from photographer Amanda Marsalis, Echo Park is a story about two people who come together "across cultural, economic and racial boundaries." Sophie (Mamie Gummer) is an unhappy housewife who movescourse, the WABAC comes into play when the tots take it for a spin, forcing Peabody to rush to their rescue.
Getting down to personals, we also see the left brain-heavy Peabody struggle with being father Sherman deserves. The bulk of the emotional marks are hit as we learn just how much Peabody cares for Sherman, and just how hard it has been to accept that his only family is growing up and changing.

But more successful than the new is the film's handling of the old — the material that Peabody and Sherman purists will adore. They travel back in time via the WABAC Machine to Ancient Egypt, the Renaissance, and the Trojan War, and 18th Century France, explaining the cultural backdrop and historical significance of the settings and


before we step back into the arena. However, the time spent with Katniss and Peeta before the announcement that they'll be competing again for the ceremonial Quarter Quell does not drag. In fact, it's got some of the film franchise's most interesting commentary about celebrity, reality television, and the media so far, well outweighing the merit of The Hunger Games' satire on the subject matter by having Katniss struggle with her responsibilities as Panem's idol. Does she abide by the command of status quo, delighting in the public's applause for her and keeping them complacently saturated with her smiles and curtsies? Or does Katniss hold three fingers high in opposition to the machine into which she has been thrown? It's a quarrel that the real Jennifer Lawrence wouldmore a song-and-dance man than an actor, having studied ballet and performed in vaudeville and on Broadway in the 1930s and early forties. That's where he decided to trade in the name he was born with, John Feggo, Jr., for Kirk Alyn, which he felt was better suited to the stage. He appeared in chorus lines and in blackface, modeled for muscle magazines, and performed in TV murder mysteries in the days when only bars had TVs and only dead-end actors performed for the small screen. But he had experience in movie serials, if not in superheroes, so when he got a call from Columbia Pictures in 1948 asking if he was interested in trying out for Superman he jumped into his car and headed to the studio.


he did believe in his character in a way that these pre-teens and teens appreciated even if movie reviewers wouldn't.
In the 1950s, when Superman was gearing up for television, producer Robert Maxwell and director Tommy Carr screened nearly two hundred candidates who were sure they were him. Most made their living as actors, although some were full-time musclemen. Nearly all, Carr said, "appeared to have a serious deficiency in their chromosome count." So thorough – and perhaps so frustrating – was their search that the executives stopped by the Mr. America contest in Los Angeles. One choice they never seriously considered, despite his later claims, was Kirk Alyn, who had done well enough for the serials but had neither the acting skills nor the looks around which tobuild a Superman TV series. The search ended the day a barrel-chested B-movie actor named George Reeves showed up on the studio lot.
Maxwell's co-producer had recognized Reeves in a Los Angeles restaurant, seeming "rather forlorn," and suggested he come in for a tryout. He did, the next morning, and "from that moment on he was my first choice," said Carr. "He looked like Superman with that jaw of his. Kirk had the long neck and fine features, but although I like Kirk very much, he never looked the Superman Reeves did." His tough-guy demeanor was no put-on. Standing six-foot-two and carrying 195 pounds, Reeves had been a light-heavyweight boxing champ in college and could have gone further if he hadn't broken his nose seven times and his mother


hadn't made him step out of the ring.
The Superman TV show, like other incarnations of his story, turned around the hero himself. Collyer, the first flesh-and-blood Man of Steel, had set the standard. He lowered and raised the timbre of his voice as he switched between Superman and Clark, making the changeover convincing. Maxwell's wife Jessica, the TV dialogue director, would follow Reeves around the set urging him to do the same – but he just couldn't master the switch. The result: a Superman who sounded just like his alter ego. They both swallowed their words. They looked and acted alike. There was no attempt here to make Clark Kent into the klutz he was in the comics. No slouching; no shyness. Reeves portrayed the newsman the wayhe knew, and that Jessica's husband told him to: hard-boiled and rough-edged, Superman in a business suit. The only differences were that Reeves would shed his rubber muscles and add thick tortoise-shell glasses with no lenses – that was the sum total of his switch to Clark Kent.
But it worked. It worked because fans wanted to be fooled, and because of the way Reeves turned to the camera and made it clear he knew they knew his secret, even if Lois, Jimmy, and Perry didn't. This Superman had a dignity and self-assurance that projected even better on an intimate TV screen than it had in the movies. Reeves just had it somehow. He called himself Honest George, The People's Friend – the same kind of homespun language Jerry


and Joe used for their creation – and he suspended his own doubts the way he wanted viewers to. He looked not just like a guy who could make gangsters cringe, but who believed in the righteousness of his hero's cause. His smile could melt an iceberg. His cold stare and puffed-out chest could bring a mob to its knees. Sure, his acting was workmanlike, but it won him generations of fans. Today, when those now grown-up fans call to mind their carefree youth, they think of his TV Adventures of Superman, and when they envision Superman himself, it is George Reeves they see.
Christopher Reeve was an even less likely choice when producers set out to find the right Superman for their 1970s motion picture extravaganza. It wasn'tjust his honey brown hair and 180 pounds that did not come close to filling out his six-foot-four frame. He had asthma and he sweated so profusely that a crew member would have to blow dry his armpits between takes. He was prep school and Ivy League, with a background in serious theater that made him more comfortable in England's Old Vic than its Pinewood movie lot. He was picked, as he acknowledged, 90% because he looked "like the guy in the comic book . . . the other 10% is acting talent." He also was a brilliant choice. He brought to the part irony and comic timing that harked back to the best of screwball comedy. He had dramatic good looks and an instinct for melding humanism


with heroism. "When he walked into a room you could see this wasn't a conventional leading man, there was so much depth he had almost an old movie star feeling," says casting director Lynn Stalmaster. The bean counters loved his price: $250,000, or less than a tenth of what Marlon Brando would get for the modest role as Superman's dad. Director Richard Donner asked Reeve to try on his horned-rimmed glasses. Squinting back at him was Clark Kent. Even his name fit: Christopher Reeve assuming the part made famous by George Reeves. "I didn't find him," Donner would say throughout the production. "God sent him to me."
Superman changed with every artist who filled in his features, writer who scripted his adventures, and even the marketers and accountants whomanaged his finances and grew his audience. Each could claim partial ownership. Actors like Christopher Reeve did more molding and framing than anyone and could have claimed more proprietorship. With each scene shot it was clearer that he was giving the hero a different face as well as a unique personality. Reeve's Superman would be funnier and more human – if less powerful or intimidating – than any who had proceeded him. He was more of a Big Blue Boy Scout now, in contrast to Kirk Alyn's Action Ace and George Reeves's Man of Steel. In the hands of this conservatory-trained actor, Supes was getting increasingly comfortable baring his soul.
Picking up the role and the mythos now will be English actor Henry Cavill, whose first appearance on the


has always been global in his reach, having written himself into the national folklore from Beirut to Buenos Aires. If Cavill acknowledges both sides of that legacy, the all-American and the all-world, then he should be able to reel back aging devotees and draw in new ones.

More:'Man ofblockbusters have aimed to viewers of all ages starting with fantastical concepts and breathtaking visuals but tackling complex emotional issues along the way Ice Age: Continental Drift is crafted especially for the wee ones — and it works. Venturing back to prehistoric times once again the fourth Ice Age film paints broad strokes on the theme of familial relationships throwing in plenty of physical comedy along the way. The movie isn't that far off from one of the many Land Before Time direct-to-video sequels: not particularly innovative or necessary but harmless thrilling fun for anyone with a sense of humor. Unless they have a particular distaste for wooly mammoths the kids will love it.
Ice Age: Continental Drift continues to snowball its cartoon roster bringing back the original film's


centerpiece of This Means War’s ad campaign – but the film derives the bulk of its humor from the outrageous lengths Tuck and FDR go to sabotage each others’ efforts a raucous game of spy-versus-spy that carries the film long after Handler’s shtick has grown stale.
Business occasionally intrudes upon matters in the guise of Heinrich (Til Schweiger) a Teutonic arms dealer bent on revenge for the death of his brother. The subplot is largely an afterthought existing primarily as a means to provide third-act fireworks – and to allow McGenius an outlet for his ADD-inspired aesthetic proclivities. The film’s action scenes are edited in such a manic quick-cut fashion that they become almost laughably incoherent. In fairness to McG he does stage a rather marvelous sequence in thefilm festivals, than South by Southwest is the party animal younger broth—who's just as smart (if not more) as his stuffy sibling. Held in Austin, Texas every March, SXSW is a rootin' tootin' celebration of cinema, hosting big Hollywood premieres, the best of the best from Sundance and plenty of off-beat indies primed and ready for discovery. Some of the year's best films premiere at the festival—need I remind you of Kill List—and most make their way to release, making SXSW a festival to keep your eye on.
The line-up for this year's fest has been officially release, and sports highly anticipated movies like Jonah Hill's 21 Jump Street and Cabin in the Woods, the long-awaited meta-horror from Lost/Cloverfield writer Drew Goddard and producer Joss Whedon, the premiere of


Judd Apatow's new TV show Girls (written and starring Lena Dunham) and new projects from acclaimed directors like William Friedkin (The Exorcist), Kevin McDonald (Last King of Scotland), Will Ferrell, Jay Chandrasekhar of Broken Lizard and the Duplass Brothers (Cyrus).
