3 - 3 - CAST OF CHARACTERS (With doubling: 2 m, 2 w, 2 flexible) ALWIDA: A young princess. PRINCE ALF: Prince of Denmark. PRISONER: also plays KING SIWARD, Alwida s father CAPTAIN KILLBLOOD, a pirate FIRST SOLDIER PIRATE QUEEN: also plays QUEEN SIWARD, Alwida s mother SECOND SOLDIER FIRST GUARD: also plays FIRST SERVANT FIRST SNAKE FIRST PIRATE SECOND GUARD: also plays SECOND SERVANT SECOND SNAKE SECOND PIRATE TIME: The Middle Ages. PLACE: Scandinavia. Performance time: About 35 minutes. PROPS Rope to tie hands; comical-looking ax and swords; two sticks or branches; wrapped herring ; two snake puppets; sack with meat ; guitar; jug and flask; spyglass; two pirate helmets.
5 - 5 - PRISONER: Quick, Captain! Untie me before they wake up! PIRATE QUEEN: The things I do for my crew. (The PIRATE QUEEN unties the PRISONER.) PRISONER: Is the ship ready to sail? PIRATE QUEEN: Aye. As soon as we get back on board. (The GUARDS wake up and draw their swords.) SECOND GUARD: I m afraid that will be never. (The PIRATE QUEEN draws her sword. She fights with both of the GUARDS, and pushes them back.) PIRATE QUEEN: Here, matey! (The PIRATE QUEEN draws her second sword and tosses it to the PRISONER. Together, they fight the two GUARDS.) FIRST GUARD: Yield! In the name of the King. PIRATE QUEEN: I yield to no man! Give us back the freedom of the mast and the sail, or prepare to die! (They freeze. ALWIDA enters, carrying a parcel. She points to the PIRATE QUEEN.) ALWIDA: That s me: Alwida the Pirate, Queen of the High Seas! Except it s not. Only in my imagination. (The scene unfreezes, and the GUARDS and PIRATES put up their swords.) PIRATE QUEEN: Uh-oh, fellas. Looks like we re mythical. Better pack up. SECOND GUARD: Aw... PRISONER: You mean we re just imaginary? PIRATE QUEEN: Afraid so. Not much use for pirates in the real world anymore.
6 - 6 - (The GUARDS wander off.) ALWIDA: I wish I were a pirate who sailed out on the ocean looking for adventure and gold. But I m not. I m just plain Alwida. And do you think pirates ever come around my neighborhood? Almost never. The last one was over three years ago, and he didn t even have a patch over his eye. PRISONER: At least he wasn t imaginary! ALWIDA: Will you be quiet? I m talking to the audience here. PRISONER: Sorry. (The PRISONER and the PIRATE QUEEN wander off.) ALWIDA: You see, audience, even though I ve always wanted to be a pirate, I ve never been able to. I have to sit at home in the castle, like a good little princess. You might think it would be great to be a princess and live in a castle, but our castle is so lame! It doesn t even have a moat. I asked Mom and Dad, Can we please, please, please get a moat? Just a small one? Too dangerous, they said. What if someone falls in? Well, duh! That s the whole point! Mom and Dad make me so mad. They re always trying to get me to be safe and act ladylike and not belch in public. (Burps.) Excuse me. But what am I supposed to do, stuck inside all day? That s why I ran away. To finally have some adventure and excitement! Only now, I m exhausted, and my feet hurt. (Sits down and opens the parcel.) Great. And I m down to my last herring. Maybe I ll be lucky and get captured by pirates. Ooo! Here comes one now! Over here! Over here! (Enter ALF.) ALF: Who s that? ALWIDA: Are you a pirate? ALF: No. Why would you think I was a pirate? ALWIDA: I don t know. You look vaguely... piratical. Hey, you want half a salted herring? ALF: All right.
7 - 7 - (SHE rips the herring in half and gives HIM the tail.) ALWIDA: Here. Good, huh? Only it s my last one. ALF: You from around here? ALWIDA: Maybe. Why? ALF: No reason. I ve just never seen you before. ALWIDA: Maybe that s because I m having an adventure. ALF: An adventure? Around here? ALWIDA: Why not? Maybe... maybe I m the pirate! ALF: You? ALWIDA: Yes! Maybe I m Alwida the Pirate! Queen of the High Seas! Maybe I found a band of women just like me, who hated parents, and chores, and homework, and we all set out to terrorize the coast and raid the ships on the Baltic. ALF: You ve got a great imagination. ALWIDA: Maybe. Or maybe it s true. How would you know the difference? ALF: Guess I wouldn t. Thanks for the herring. ALWIDA: So what about you? Did you run away from home, too? ALF: Never got the chance to. I was in the library at our castle ALWIDA: You live in a castle, too? ALF: Yeah, but it s a lame one. We don t even have a moat. Dad has a library, though, and I always like to go in there and read his books, but Mom found me there, and she said boys should be playing outside not sulking around in libraries. ALWIDA: Aren t you good at boy stuff? ALF: What do you mean boy stuff? ALWIDA: Oh, you know. Riding horses and throwing javelins and sword fighting. I m good at sword fighting. Dad taught me how, but I m not supposed to tell Mom, cause she d freak. So? Are you good? ALF: I m all right, I guess. (SHE picks up two sticks and tosses HIM one.) ALWIDA: Come on! Let s fight.

Fantastic Fourth Place Finish for Tully
Mark Tully (pic courtesy of Ian MacNicol)
Kathleen Dawson (pic courtesy of Ian MacNicol)
Tully, "I've been watching the Scots swim so well, I just wanted to do my part and get on the podium. At the end of the day I tried my best but I'm absolutely gutted."
Despite having only taken up swimming seriously five years ago, Mark Tully finished top of the Scots in the final of the 50m Breaststroke posting a time of 27.47 to finish in fourth place on the penultimate night of swimming at Tollcross International Swimming Centre.
The winner was Cameron van der Burgh (RSA) in a new Games Record time of 26.76, which denied England's Adam Peaty of a second Gold. Peaty had to settle for Silver in 26.78 while Christian Sprenger won Bronze in 27.46.
Ross Murdoch finished off his individual campaign in 6th while Joe Welstead was 7th.
Tully said after his race: "I would rather have come last than come fourth. It was so close. I was pleased with how I swam last night but I just couldn't put it in the bag and get on that podium.
"I've been watching the Scots swim so well, I just wanted to do my part and get on the podium. At the end of the day I tried my best but I'm absolutely gutted."
Kathleen Dawson broke the Scottish Record again on her way to securing a place in tomorrow's final of the 50m Backstroke. The 16 year old said of her efforts,
"It was a great race; I'm very pleased with the result. My aim initially was to get to the semi-final, but the final is looking promising."
The powerhouse that is Hannah Miley surprised herself with two PBs from both the 800m Freestyle and the 200m Butterfly finals in what was an exhausting evening for the 24 year old. Miley finished the events in 5th and 6th places respectively.
Scotland's Camilla Hattersley was 7th in the 800m Freestyle final and was pleased with her efforts. She said,
"I'm absolutely delighted with that especially as it's my first Commonwealth Games. I came here and my target was to make the final and I've done that. I've done better than I expected really."
Craig McNally and Ryan Bennett contested the final of the 200m Backstroke. McNally finished strongly in 5th while Bennett was 6th.
Richard Schafers finished off the 50m Freestyle semi-finals in 10th place overall while 18 year old Katie Armitage was 8th in the 100m Breaststroke final. She will return tomorrow as part of the 4x100m Medley Relay team.
Tomorrow also sees the return of Stephen Milne in the final of the 1500m Freestyle, while Dan Wallace will compete in the 200m Individual Medley. Hannah Miley is also back in action in the 400m Freestyle.
The Swimming competition starts on Thursday 24 July and continues until Tuesday 29July, before the Aquatics Diving programme begins on Wednesday 30 July at the Royal Commonwealth Pool.

Why CBS All Access Is Comfortable Developing So Many Star Trek Shows
Jan. 31. 2019 2:31 AM
For the twelve planet-bound years between 2005 and 2017, our televisions had zero Star Trek series to stoke fans' imaginations and excitement. That all changed when CBS All Access unleashed Star Trek: Discovery, which served as a stepping stone to lots more sci-fi greatness coming in the future. CBS All Access Vice President of Original Content Julie McNamara took the stage at TCA and offered fans reassuring words that the streaming service isn't going overboard.
While it may seem like there's a constant flurry of Star Trek activity, we're taking a measured approach to incubating, prepping, and releasing shows in this universe. The fans demand as much, and we take that responsibility seriously. Each show must stand on its own both in terms of quality and also by bringing a new point of view to the table.
Whenever Star Trek: Discovery was first announced, fans went wild at the thought of the franchise returning to television. (Some of that wildness was tied to the show appearing on a paid streaming service, but that's neither here nor there.) Regardless of personal preferences about the show's quality, it cannot be said that the creative team is just phoning it in with reckless abandon.
A greater potential for actual fan worries was set once CBS All Access relatively quickly announced that more Star Trek projects were going into development. It started off with the short-form anthology Short Treks, which has delivered limited looks at various corners of the Star Trek canon. The episodes have been largely acclaimed and embraced by fans, but it wasn't long before even more Trek projects came to light.
Speaking to the press at the Television Critics Association's winter press tour, Julie McNamara spoke about the other trio of upcoming projects as well.
We're deep in prep on our Picard series, which will drop at the end of the year, with animated Lower Decks to follow. We're also developing a series set in Starfleet's notorious Section 31, starring Michelle Yeoh.
To McNamara's point about shows that stand on their own terms, CBS All Access is definitely working with a variety of interesting concepts for their impending Star Trek expansion. Arguably the most exciting of the bunch is the one that involves actor Patrick Stewart returning to the role of Jean-Luc Picard. Not much is known about that standalone series just yet, but Stewart's involvement alone should give it an instant pass.
But it's not only Star Trek: The Next Generation that's getting a spinoff, however spiritual that one may be, because Star Trek: Discovery is already set to build off of the flagship narrative with a story centering on Michelle Yeoh's Mirror Philippa Georgiou as part of the highly mysterious Starfleet division Section 31. That likely won't look much like the Picard show, unless Section 31 is filled with ageless Brits.
Then there's the animated comedy Lower Decks, which was created by Rick and Morty writer Mike McMahan. It'll tell the misadventures of a support crew situated on one of Starfleet's least important ships. I'm hoping for some of the signature Rick and Morty plot density, if not the abundance of explicitness.
CBS All Access recently had its best weekend ever, thanks in part to the Season 2 of Star Trek: Discovery premiering that week. The episode introduced Anson Mount's Christopher Pike, a beloved and rarely seen Star Trek character who finally gets to co-lead a Trek project. That kind of success likely makes everyone at CBS All Access comfortable in continuing to go where no network or streaming service has gone before with the franchise.
Star Trek: Discovery airs every Thursday night on CBS All Access at 8:30 p.m. ET, so be sure to keep watching to see when and where Ethan Peck's Spock will finally get introduced. To see all the other new and returning shows hitting primetime soon, be sure to keep our midseason premiere schedule close at hand.

One Doctor Explains Why You Should Consider a Rural Dental Office for Sale
September 26, 2019 /in Buying a Dental Practice, Dentistry in Rural Areas /by admin
We've posted an interview with one doctor, Bill Dean, that we assisted with selling his dental practice. We also posted part one of an interview with the buyer, Dr. Kevin Shively, about his experience on the other side of the deal. Here, in part two, Dr. Shively discusses why he was looking for a rural dental office for sale.
Let's talk about the benefits of buying a rural dental office for sale. There are a lot of dentists out there that just think a city is where they need to be to have the practice they want. What would you say to people about considering smaller towns? Has it been good for you?
Oh, absolutely. I wholeheartedly support and agree going rural for opening a practice. Trying to make it in the big city, especially as someone new-ish coming out of dental school. "New-ish" being, you know, five to maybe seven years out of school.
Everybody's business background is going to be different and, for me, being in the military, I never had to worry about the money issue. It was, "Okay, you need a crown. Let's do a crown," kind of thing. But trying to make it in a bigger city like Lubbock, or Odessa, Midland, somewhere like that, it's going to be a lot harder and you're going to have to look into participating with insurance, figuring out how to do reimbursements, things like that.
So, can you open a practice in a big city like Lubbock just on your own? Yes, you can. But it's going to be much more difficult. I would wholeheartedly support and suggest looking into rural practices. The people need the treatment. They will come from, in some cases, hundreds of miles away to get the treatment. And at the end of the day, they know how much work went into it and they are so, so appreciative.
When you're in the military and you have a bunch of 17 and 18-year-old kids, they don't necessarily really understand how much work goes into things. They'll say things like, "Yeah, I don't know what I'm here for today. My leadership told me I had to come for an appointment today." While they cooperate and do everything, here's a case where you worked hours and hours on something, and they take a look at it and they're, like, "Yeah, looks okay, I guess."
So, you really kind of lose that love and that drive to do dentistry. Within the first week or two being in Floydada, I found that I was loving coming to work. I found that I loved getting to know and interact with my patients, and just having those moments where patients will cry because of how beautiful their teeth look again, and how they'll fall over themselves to thank me for the work and everything that I've done. It really, really helped me reaffirm why I got into dentistry in the first place.
Let's talk about your hopes for the future. We've talked to a lot of retiring dentists, and they have all sorts of plans of all the fun that they're going to have. But we haven't talked to a lot on the buying side. What are your hopes for this practice? How you see it playing out throughout your career?
I definitely want to grow the practice. Being out in the rural area, the patients … They understand there's some procedures they can't get around going to Lubbock for, but if they can stay in Floydada, they would appreciate it.
I want to grow the practice and ultimately start doing more procedures and make it a true … as much as possible, a true one-stop shop to be able to get everything done. That's my hope for the future, is to grow the practice to really make it a well-rounded family dentistry practice.
Going back to rural practices, people might be worried about, "How do I market myself? How do I get more patients?" How are you getting patients to your practice?
Well, I would say rural is going to be more word of mouth. Those first few patients are going to be very leery, which mine were as well, because I'm not Dr. Dean and it's a situation where you have to trust in yourself. You have to know that you're doing the best for the patient and also treat them as you want to be treated. Treat them with the kindness and respect that you would love to have if you're the one sitting in the chair. If you do that, it will come back to you a thousand-fold.
I do a little bit of marketing on Facebook. Dr. Dean, one of his main marketing ploys was, he would … There was a local restaurant in Floydada. He would frequent it, and if he noticed that one of his patients were sitting somewhere in the restaurant, when he went to pay he would also pay for that patient, as a sign of goodwill and "Thank you for your patronage with my practice."
Because it's such a wide area that you pull from, you'd want to have some face recognition. Word of mouth obviously would be huge.
We do have a website that we're starting. It's still a work in progress. But I want to, for those patients that are, let's say, 45-50 miles away that are looking for a dentist, I'd like for them to be able to look at the website and look at what the practice looks like. And get to know our staff a little bit more, and what we can and can't do for them, before having them make that trip out there.
There was also a transition letter that was sent out to all the active patients from the last five years. DDSmatch helped with that, but Dr. Dean and myself crafted it and then we sent it out to all the patients. So that was, I think, the biggest initial marketing plan that we had.

Q: CFSchedule Does Not Work Twice, Looking for ColdFusion Downtime Checking Script I need some help with creating an automatic timing script with ColdFusion. Every 60 minutes I would like to see if a page on one of my servers (http://www.mysite.com/ALERT.cfm) is working or not.
If the page is down when it is checked, then it will check again in 5 minutes to see if the page is back up. If it is not back up, then I am sent an e-mail to email@mysite.com. If it is back up, then no action is required and we start the 60 minute cycle check again.
I now understand how to do one check, but not two.
So here is the CFschedule code I am using
<cfhttp url="http://example.com/testpagetocheck.cfm" method="get" >
<cfif cfhttp.statusCode neq "200 OK">
<cfschedule action = "update"
task = "TaskName"
operation = "HTTPRequest"
url = "http://www.example.com/ALERT.cfm"
startDate = "#createdate(2012,4,01)#"
startTime = "08:00 AM"
interval = "3600"
requestTimeOut = "10">
</cfif>

So say I have 4 pages - the page I want to check to see if it is down or not (testpagetocheck.cfm), page1.cfm which has the above code, ALERT.cfm which has the cfmail to send me a message if testpagetocheck.cfm is down, and then page2.cfm has the above code again, but with an interval of "once" and a start time of 5 minutes from now.
Page1.cfm to alertMe.cfm works like a charm. I am sent a message of the page being down. Page 2.cfm to alertMe.cfm also works beautifully. It also sends me a message the page I am checking is down. But, when I try to go from page1.cfm to page 2.cfm to alertMe.cfm, it does not seem like the cfschedule on page2.cfm is running so I end up not getting any mail when the server is dowm.
Can anybody please tell me what I am doing wrong? I am using CF7

A: I think the logic itself is wrong.
Actually you want to do two things:

*

*Create a schedule to keep requesting a page every while.

*that requested page (through the schedule) has to check if a certain website/page is down or not and take an action.

So first create a file to call it one time. That file - say - createSchedule.cfm
its job is to create the schedule only. Just write the schedule creation code:
<cfschedule .... url="http://mysite.com/checksite.cfm" ... />

Then create the checker file checksite.cfm that will be requested every while (by the scheduled task). This file checksite.cfm should include the cfhttp call and the if check, like this:
<cfhttp url="http://mysite.com/thePageYouWantToCheck.cfm" method="get" >
<cfif cfhttp.statusCode neq "200 OK">
<!--- send the email here, or just include the Alert.cfm file that will do --->
</cfif>

Finally just call the file createSchedule.cfm to schedule a task to keep requesting checksite.cfm that will do cfhttp check and take an action.

If all these cfm files are running on one CFServer, then if server goes down. All of them won't work, I mean you will never get an alert.
Bul will get the Alert only if error occurred on thePageYouWantToCheck.cfm or it was running on other CFServer, in this case even if CFServer goes down you should get the alert.
Now .. there are many websites that provide this service (Site Down Check). Some are paid and others are free. The best free I am using since long time is this:
http://www.uptimerobot.com/
It is only free with very nice features, check it.

A: <cfschedule action = "update"
task = "TaskName"
operation = "HTTPRequest"
url = "http://www.mysite.com/ALERT.cfm?call=2"
startDate = "#createdate(2012,4,01)#"
startTime = "08:00 AM"
interval = "3600"
requestTimeOut = "10">

While you are setting up schedule task in page pass parameter call=2 on that base you can put condition whether you need to emailed or not..
But I am really surprised you are calling CFM page to check CFM page is down. If coldfusion is down then your schedule task will never going to call and you will never receive email for that unless you are just checking for alert.cfm get timed out or other 500 error.

A: I had some trouble with this the first time I used cfschedule as well. When you run a cfschedule tag, this just creates the task if it does not exist / updates it if it does exist. After creating / updating the task you have to then do the following:
<cfschedule action="run" task="taskName">
This will make the task run when you have set it up to run. It's not the most intuitive thing as you expect that since it is set up that it will run when you set it up to do so.

Caffeine can offer numerous benefits for the body and mind, like improved mental alertness, headache relief, and even diabetes and asthma treatment.
Yet, it can become a strong toxin if combines with artificial stimulants, sweeteners, and other additives that harm the heart and even lead to heart attacks.
Cory Terry, a 33-year-old Brooklyn father, died if a heart attack as a result of the regular consumption of Red Bulls.
According to the findings of a study published in Mayo Clinic Proceedings, Red Bull and similar energy drinks cause serious harm to people who have cardiovascular conditions, and can also cause various adverse effects to healthy people.
A trial involved 15 healthy test participants who received two cans (500 ml) of an unidentified energy drink the same as Red Bull in terms of ingredients every day for a week.
The blood pressure of participants was elevated by 8% just four hours after consuming the beverage and went up to 10% by the end of the week.
Their heart rates were also higher by 8% on the first day and reached 11% by the end of the week.
Both these factors are linked to a higher risk of heart attacks, as high blood pressure damages the arteries, leading to stroke and heart attack-causing blood clots, and high heart rates have been linked to higher risk of heart attacks.
Let us review the ingredients of Red Bull. First of all, it contains tons of sugar and carbonation, caffeine and taurine as stimulants, and several B-group vitamins.
There is very little research on the combination of these ingredients on our health, and many studies have shown that these ingredients are extremely harmful.
One study involved 13 participants, experienced in endurance training, who had to perform exhausting exercise three times daily. Before each exercise, they received Red Bull, a drink similar to Red Bull but without taurine, or a placebo without any stimulants.
The findings showed that the only drink that affected their stroke volume, the amount of blood pumped in and out of the heart, was Red Bull.
Therefore, even though its ingredients might not be harmful when isolated, this chemical combination is definitely seriously damaging our health, especially our heart.
In case you need a quick energy boost, have a cup of coffee or some energy –boosting fresh juice or smoothie.

These are just 16 of the classic movies every woman should watch

With the film industry traditionally dominated by men, you may feel like there aren't a ton of classic movies that speak to you as a woman. Yet, there are some magnificent classic movies that every woman should watch at least once in her life. Whether the film stars an iconic leading lady, features a feminist character, raises interesting questions about gender roles, or is just a Hollywood staple that you should have seen by now, this list of 16 classic movies for women will provide you with hours of thoughtful entertainment.
Although the timeframe of what makes a movie a "classic" is debatable, we stuck with anything made before 1980. In doing so, this list sadly lacks a lot of diversity since (as an addendum to our previous statement) Hollywood has traditionally been dominated by white males.
Hopefully, these films will still make you proud to be a woman in some aspects. And if not, they will at least help out your film buff status. From comedies to horrors to dramas, here are 16 movies that you need to watch as a woman no matter what.
1Gone with the Wind, 1939
The story of Scarlett O'Hara is a long one, but it's worth it. She's a complicated woman who does many questionable things —all in order to survive during the Civil War and the years afterward. Although Vivien Leigh's character isn't always likable, you'll be admiring her by the time she proclaims, "After all, tomorrow is another day!"
2Breakfast at Tiffany's, 1961
Although Holly Golightly isn't exactly a feminist icon (though it has been debated), if you've never seen this iconic Audrey Hepburn film, it's time to remedy that.
3Carmen Jones, 1954
Dorothy Dandridge became the first black woman to be nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress for her role as the doomed femme fatale in this musical.
4Norma Rae, 1979

Speaking of the Oscars, Sally Field won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her portrayal of Norma Rae, a cotton mill employee who attempts to unionize the factory she works in.
5Dance, Girl, Dance, 1940
Besides this film starring Maureen O'Hara and Lucille Ball, it was also directed by a woman — Dorothy Arzner — who is one of the most notable female directors in early Hollywood. Although both women compete for a man in this film, a TCM article says it has become "something of a feminist cult classic," particularly regarding the women's friendship and O'Hara's speech to the men watching the female burlesque dancers.
6Cleopatra, 1963
If you can handle the racially inappropriate casting of Elizabeth Taylor, this epic film places the Egyptian queen front and center.
7Adam's Rib, 1949
Katharine Hepburn goes toe-to-toe with Spencer Tracy in this courtroom comedy. They play a married couple, who are both lawyers, and face each other in court as Hepburn's character defends a woman — and equal rights.
8Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore, 1974

Martin Scorsese is known mostly for his male characters, but this film with Ellen Burstyn in the titular role, and supporting roles from Diane Ladd and a young Jodie Foster, shows he can handle women's stories as well.
9Sunset Boulevard, 1950
If you haven't seen Gloria Swanson as the faded star Norma Desmond asking for her close-up yet, it's time to get on it.
10Alien, 1979
tumblr_o0ygffXeay1qdhps7o1_500.gif
Credit: a-ripley / a-ripley.tumblr.com
Sigourney Weaver's Ripley is a fierce survivor in this sci-fi classic.
11A Streetcar Named Desire, 1951
Leigh's other iconic role is Blanche Dubois and this film, based on Tennessee Williams' play and starring Marlon Brando, is a fascinating and horrifying look at the complexities of gender roles.
12The Trouble with Angels, 1966
Another film directed by a woman, Ida Lupino's The Trouble with Angels is a comedy that follows Hayley Mills as a rebellious teenager in an all-girls Catholic boarding school.
13Mildred Pierce, 1945
Joan Crawford plays the title character, who opens up her own restaurant and has a helluva time with her daughter Veda.
14What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?, 1962
If you've been enjoying FX's Feud, watching this film is a necessity. Crawford's later movie with Bette Davis shows the horrors of sisterhood and it seriously holds up all these years later.
15All About Eve, 1950
After Mildred Pierce and Baby Jane, the third essential film to watch for Feud-lovers is Davis' All About Eve, where she portrays an aging star being replaced by a young fan. If you still want more Davis after this, a bonus pick is 1942's Now, Voyager.
16I'm No Angel, 1933
Mae West, who wrote and starred in I'm No Angel, was a boundary breaker and this film with Cary Grant is no exception.
Next time you're in need of a good film to watch, turn to one of these 16 Hollywood classics that will give you something to think about.

Robocop Trailer - You Won't Be Buying This For $1
Reboots are all the rave in Hollywood right now without a care if the source material is an untouchable classic or part of a trilogy that ended last year. Robocop is the former; an ultraviolet 80's action romp with brilliant social commentary on corporate greed and gritty gang violence. Above all else it was shockingly graphic with unprecedented levels of gore. Earlier this year at San Diego Comic-Con it was announced that the remake would be PG-13, essentially admitting up front that they're taking the soulless bombastic blockbuster summer route leaving the modern stab a shell of its former self. Earlier today, the first theatrical trailer was released and well... it looks somehow worse than Hollywood's reboot of another classic Paul Verhoeven sci-fi masterpiece in last year's catastrophically mindless remake of Total Recall. As evident from the trailer, Murphy's iconic death has been retooled into something much quicker and far less graphic. Characters are sporadically thrown at you as suits decide whether Robocop should be his recognized silver color or jet black. None of the action sequences look particularly interesting either with most of the trailer playing up some melodramatic nonsense about Murphy's humanity, an theme which was handled naturally, smarter, and more subtle in the original. Finally, there's also a really annoying voice modification making the classic "Dead or alive, you're coming with me" line sound ridiculous instead of forcefully intimidating. This movie looks terrible but we did get a release date of February, a general dumping ground of movies studios lack faith in. Watch the trailer and tell us what you think below! RobCop is due for release February 7th, 2014 and stars Joel Kinnaman, Abbie Cornish, Gary Oldman, Michael Keaton, Samuel L. Jackson, Jackie Earle Haley, Michael K. Williams, Jay Baruchel, Jennifer Ehle, and Marianne Jean-Baptiste.
We need more writers about gary-oldman, Samuel-L-Jackson, Jackie-Earle-Haley, Abbie Cornish, Michael Keaton, jay-baruchel, Robocop, Joel Kinnaman, Michael K. Williams, Jennifer Ehle and Marianne Jean-Baptiste! Get started below...

TL;DR: Create an empty application in your bundle to allow people to test it (manually or automatically) outside of an actual application.
Note: to release it, you would then need to create a git repository and to register it in Packagist.
And that's it, we now have a minimalistic embed application in our bundle. As it can now be ran on its own, it has become a Standalone Bundle!
Let's see the practical use.
Because your bundle now doesn't need any existing applications to be used, people will be able to test it manually and do some demonstrations with it.
Note: If you use a templating engine like Twig to render HTML pages, or if you use the Symfony2 Form Component in your bundle, don't forget to add the dependencies to your composer.json file and to register the appropriate bundles to the embed AppKernel.
Manual tests are great to get a quick idea of what your bundle does. But an embed application is also great to write automated tests.
Note: You can of course use any testing framework of your choice.
The test.client service is only available when the test configuration parameter is set.
Note: When creating APIs, you might want to test the precise status code.
Creating an embed application in a third party bundle is fairly easy and brings many advantages as it enables demonstrations and simple automated tests.
I hope you enjoyed this article, if you have any questions or comments, please let me know.

Tortured Hindu Minorities in Pakistan :: The Cruel Face of Islam.
Students recite lines at a Madrassa in Pakistan to learn persecution upon non-muslims. -File Photo.
Hindu Girl Held in Madrassa and Forced to Convert to Islam
By Antony Thomas ||The Chakra News
Islamabad, Pakistan (CHAKRA), Tuesday, May 11th, 2010( This report is published on the basis of news received late) – A Punjabi Hindu girl from Pakistan has been kidnapped and is being held in a madrassa where she is being forced to convert to Islam. This has been brought to attention by leading Pakistani activist Ansar Burney.
Burney's rights organization has learned that 15-year-old, Gajri who is daughter of Meghna Ram was abducted from her home in Katchi Mandi on December 29th 2009 by a nearby Muslim neighbour. This took place in the Liaquatpur in the Rahim Yar Khan District.
According to Burney, Gajri's parents later found out that she was being held in a madrassa where she has been forcefully married off to someone in addition to being forced to convert to Islam.
The local administrator of the madrassa is refusing to speak to anyone regarding the abduction and Gajri is not being allowed to leave the madrassa resulting in not being able to speak to her parents or family members.
Burney, a former human rights activist openly condemned the forceful act of conversion in addition to the kidnapping. He has demanded her immediate release.
"Pakistan is a state party to the Convention on the Rights of the Child and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, which oblige authorities to protect religious minorities under international law," he said.
After Gajri disappeared on December 21st from southern Punjab, on December 26th the local police station received a letter from the madrassa administrator stating that Gajri had embraced Islam and had married her neighbour Mohammed Salim. However, the letter was not enclosed with a marriage certificate.
The police failed to immediately inform Gajri's parents of the letter they had received even though her parents had attempted to file a report when she first went missing. The parents were discouraged from filing a report, according to Burney.
After feeling helpless, Gajri's parent's went to Ramesh Jay Pal, the vice president of the National Peace Committee For Interfaith Harmony, asking him for his advice on the matter.
With Pal's help, Gajri's parents met the priest, Maulana Abdul Hafeez, in charge of Darul-Uloom Madrassa in Khanpur. He told them that their daughter had embraced Islam and that she was not allowed to meet her parents.

The OEPS Final Report brings together the learning from the 3 years of the project. It highlights key successes and challenges encountered by the project and makes recommendations for the future of open education in Scotland. The executive summary is provided here, however it is useful to read the full document.
The availability of free, openly licensed online courses and the ubiquity of digital technology is relevant to learners in the formal and informal learning sectors in Scotland.
Openly licensed educational resources are regarded by some educationalists as having the potential to open up new pathways into higher education; however, currently their use is heavily skewed towards existing graduates.
Developments in open education have tended to focus on technology. To ensure effective use there is a strong case for reorienting effort on practice, pedagogy and new models of student support.
Open licensing and digital platforms open new possibilities for knowledge dissemination and exchange.
Digital technology and open licenses open new and innovative possibilities for curriculum development. These include greater use of collaborative development and the provision of short courses and micro-credentials that provide flexible pathways for lifelong learning and support transitions into formal education, between further and higher education, between education and employment and in the workplace.
Free, openly licensed, online courses are now part of the educational mainstream. However, the educational practices, organisational and business models to make best use of these resources are not fully developed.
The project worked with 68 organisations across Scotland, including universities, colleges, schools, third sector organisations, unions and businesses. It held 79 workshops, gave 44 presentations, organised four one-day open forums and one seminar and co-organised a two day symposium. The project website1 hosts an archive of the project's activity and outputs. The entire range of project outputs, comprising exemplar courses, reports, briefings and resources are hosted in the Opening Educational Practices in Scotland collection.
The project outputs include fifteen new openly licensed courses co-created with organisations in Scotland.
All but one of the OEPS courses offered recognition through Open Badges and the project established evidence of the use of badges at scale.
Awareness of open education among educators and policy makers in the university and college sectors is low. There is a case for including open education and open licensing in initial professional development programmes like the TQFE and PGCert and in subsequent CPD.
Co-production of online resources with organisations in the informal learning sector has benefits for academic institutions, their partners and for students.
There remains a need for a cross-sector approach to supporting development.
The informal learning sector in Scotland is leading the way in the use of Open Badges.
Policy discussion on open education is too narrowly focused on the use of MOOCs in the university sector.
Developments in learning technology are affecting all parts of the education system. The availability of free openly licensed content poses new challenges for colleges and universities. In this context open practice has the potential to support learning journeys and enhance the quality and reputation of Scottish Education. To achieve this, however, systemic change that starts from student centred pedagogy is necessary.
Colleges and universities and the Scottish Government should consider formal adoption of the Scottish Open Educational Declaration.
Professional development is critical to the future development of open education in Scotland. The study of open pedagogy should be incorporated as a mainstream part of teacher education, the TQFE and higher education Post Graduate Certificates in Learning and Teaching.
Educational institutions in Scotland should release much more of their content in openly licensed format and should consider adopting an approach of open by default. In addition the SFC should consider encouraging sharing and collaborative initiatives between institutions.
To enable widening access to colleges and university, as well as to support lifelong learning, colleges and universities should work in partnership with the informal learning and third sector to create open resources and open practice. This can include supporting transitions into education and professional development in employment.
The creation of open courses and other openly licensed materials should be recognised by the Scottish Funding Council as a component of knowledge exchange and appropriate funding arrangements established.
There should be consideration by the Scottish Government and the Scottish Funding Council of the systems, support mechanisms, and policies required to facilitate and sustain institutional collaborations in open education. Outcome agreements might be one avenue that could be used.

"Television and digital media have transformed our world radically and they influence our everyday lives. So is it hardly surprising that visual artists have turned to electronic media and begun to experiment with them. The video has been used, among other things, to document performative actions, and the screen has even become a canvas, enabling painting with moving images."

Sammlung Goetz in Haus der Kunst, Munich
"At Night. Between dream and reality."
Juli 12, 2019 – January 6, 2020
The night has a magical quality. For most, it is the time when people come to rest, when they retire to their homes to sleep. But there are also the restless ones, the sleepwalkers, the night owls and criminals. Many of these are looking for something or for themselves. In 14 stations, the exhibition takes visitors on a journey through the night, that time between dreams and reality. On display are films, videos, installations and photographs from the Sammlung Goetz that reflect the different facets of a nightly foray.

"Flora. Teresa Hubbard / Alexander Birchler"
March 1, 2019 – Mai 24, 2019
On the occasion of the Venice Biennale in 2017, Teresa Hubbard / Alexander Birchler presented the double-sided film installation Flora and the accompanying work Bust in the Swiss Pavillion. The work is based on their discoveries about the unknown American artist Flora Mayo, with whom the Swiss sculptor Alberto Giacometti had a love affair in Paris in the 1920s.
While Giacometti is one of the most celebrated artists of the 20th century, Mayo's oeuvre has been destroyed and her biography was previously relegated as a footnote in studies of Giacometti. The Sammlung Goetz presents the installation in an exhibition on the premises of the Bavarian Academy of Fine Arts.

Tel Aviv Museum of Art
"Hollywood and other Myths."
April 26 – September 29, 2018.
The exhibition focuses on the increasing affinity between video and cinema. The total rejection of Hollywood style and cinematic language of the 1960s and 1970s gradually turned in the 1990s to complex relations of enchanted fascination and dismissal. All the cinematic characteristics that made cinema into a thrilling medium are present here: high-volume emotions, high production value and a rich, all-encompassing soundtrack.

What could our places of longing be? What identies them and what might endanger them? What accords with our personal image of an extraordinary day, an unusual experience of nature or a paradisiac state, for us or other beings? Can we find this amid the quotidian?

'It's unfortunate to find myself entangled in a saga I know nothing of': Zweli Mkhize's son on Digital Vibes
By amanda khoza - 30 July 2021 - 19:52
Amanda Khoza Presidency reporter
Embattled health minister Zweli Mkhize, his wife, May and son, Dedani.
The son of embattled health minister Zweli Mkhize has broken his silence saying he has "nothing to hide" and claiming the Special Investigating Unit (SIU) has not afforded him an opportunity to state his version of events in the Digital Vibes saga.
"I am shocked to say the least that the SIU has not yet bothered to serve me or my lawyers with the court papers it has decided to file. I have had to learn through a media article of all the goings on of an investigation I am supposedly a part of and their efforts to recover R3.8m that I have never ever received," Dedani Mkhize said in a statement on Friday evening.
His denial came after an earlier TimesLIVE report which stated that Mkhize, and his son had been referred to the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) to consider charging them for corruption over "suspicious" payments received from Digital Vibes.
The information is contained in court papers the SIU filed at the Special Tribunal on Thursday, where it is trying to recover R150m that was allegedly unlawfully paid by the Department of Health to Digital Vibes, a company owned by Mkhize's close associate Tahera Mather.
According to the SIU, Mkhize received R6,720 from Digital Vibes, allegedly for maintenance at a Bryanston property, while his son received R3.8m. These monies allegedly amount to undue gratification as there was no evidence they did work for Digital Vibes.
SIU head Mothibi pleased with turnaround of probe against Mkhize and Digital Vibes
The Special Investigating Unit (SIU) said it is pleased with the speed and turnaround time it took to conclude its investigation into the ...
Cyril Ramaphosa considering 'cabinet reconfiguration'
President Cyril Ramaphosa says a possible "reconfiguration" of his cabinet is under consideration.
Mkhize and Dedani are listed among 20 people to whom Digital Vibes paid R90m of the R150m the company received from their contract with the Department of Health, which the SIU contends was unlawful, invalid and has to be set aside.
There was no reasonable evidence why the listed individuals received payments from Digital Vibes, as they could not provide invoices and supporting documents, the investigations revealed.
In her founding affidavit, SIU lead investigator Rajendra Chunilall contends that the evidence they had on the duo constituted offences under several sections of the prevention and combating of corrupt activities act (Precca), and she wanted the NPA to consider bringing charges.
"The following funds directly or indirectly received by these parties from Digital Vibes constitute undue gratification or were transferred for purposes of money laundering or as the proceeds of unlawful activities and derive from the unlawful payments that Digital Vibes received from the [national department of health] NDOH in terms of the impugned transactions, which were made without any proof of goods, works of services (i.e. value) rendered by such parties in exchange for such funds (i.e. these parties were directly or indirectly unduly enriched to the ultimate detriment of the NDOH)," Chunilall contended in her affidavit.
Mkhize is alleged to have pressured senior officials to appoint Digital Vibes for the R150m communications contract.
The SIU is tasked mainly with recovering ill-gotten money from unlawful contracts, but in instances where it believes there is enough evidence for prosecution, it can refer cases to the NPA under sections 4(1)(d) and 4.2.
Defending himself and his family, Dedani said he had never denied having a personal relationship with Mather and "neither have I ever denied that at times our personal relationship has had exchanges of money during the duration of our friendship. Our relationship dates back to 2015.
"None of the monies ever exchanged between myself and Tahera Mather have been connected to the Digital Vibes contract with the Department of Health. It is unfortunate to find myself entangled in a saga I know nothing of."
He said it was, "highly presumptuous to inadvertently suppose that any past financial exchanges with Tahera Mather have a bearing on the contract in question. I have not benefited a cent from the Digital Vibes contract with the Department of Health and to state this as a fact are scurrilous assumptions."
He added: "To assume that past financial exchanges mean I benefit in her business dealings [by virtue of being her friend] seems to be a desperate attempt to sensationalise matters.
"I am concerned and disappointed in the manner in which the SIU has dealt with me following its investigations in the Digital Vibes and department of health contract saga. To say that its dealings have been nothing short of unprofessional and biased would be an understatement."
Frankly, he said, "the SIU report relies on media reporting — not a tested legal process. As an example, I categorically deny ever receiving R3.8m and this submission in the SIU's court papers is false."
He said from the outset, "when my alleged involvement in the debacle was cited, I voluntarily approached the SIU with the assistance of an attorney offering my availability to co-operate with the investigation process.
"I also informed them of an affidavit I had already deposed dealing with the allegations that had been made in the media. In that same affidavit, I made an offer that if it is proven that I may have unknowingly benefited from an individual who had received funds unlawfully from the state, I would be willing to pay such monies back. The SIU acknowledged receipt of my attorney's correspondence and affidavit," he said.
He added that, "I have never received word or engagement from the SIU since that correspondence. To date, no contact has ever been made with me. I have never been interviewed and no further information was requested. I am inclined to believe that the SIU has already made a predetermination on the matter. I have waited to be called to an interview by the SIU and nothing has been forthcoming."
He believed he had not been afforded an opportunity to be heard.
"My assessment is that this is not in the SIUs interest as doing so may unequivocally rebut the narrative being driven [whether intentionally or unintentionally] that Zweli Mkhize and his family is corrupt and that he used his influence as a minister to benefit himself and his family.
"I have always been proud of the role my father plays in this country but the very same honour has been an added burden on all his children.
"The public scrutiny has not been easy on any of us as his children. We have all tried to completely remove ourselves from any activity that has to do with the state. We have lived private lives and disassociated ourselves with my father's political life and career," he said.
