Let Sleeping Corpses Lie (1974)
LET SLEEPING CORPSES LIE is an Italian zombie horror film by Spanish director Jorge Grau that was originally released in Italy as Non si deve profanare il sonno dei morti in November 1974; it is also known as 'The Living Dead at the Manchester Morgue'. It stars Ray Lovelock as George, a rather camp and short-tempered young man who befriends a young girl, Edna, (Christina Galbo) trying to get to her sister's house in the north of England. When they eventually get there they find her sister virtually catatonic and her brother-in-law brutally murdered. An even more short-tempered police inspector (veteran Arthur Kennedy) turns up and takes an immediate dislike to George, suspecting him of being the murderer. However, it soon transpires that there is an even more horrific explanation.
George and Edna on their way to Windermere
I've said before that when Italian exploitation flicks are shot in England you often get an off-kilter, almost dreamlike feeling because while the locations obviously look familiar the cast are usually foreign and just don't seem quite right. It's definitely the case here as you get Arthur Kennedy - not really bothering to attempt the accent - as a tough copper and a load of hairy Italians as good old fashioned British bobbies wandering about chasing zombies through Dovedale and Cheadle.
Despite that, the sheer energy and bad taste of Italian exploitation cinema carries it through. There are some very tense sequences, notably when George and his chums are trapped inside a church beseiged by hordes of recently awakened corpses, and at the titular 'Manchester Morgue' as he tries to save Edna. The ending is great too and manages to be downbeat and upbeat at the same time.
Ray Lovelock is an interesting character, an Anglo-Italian who has worked almost exclusively in Italian films. His first role was the ill-fated Evan in Giulio Questi's bizarre spaghetti western Se sei vivo spara, aka DJANGO KILL. He has worked with the likes of Carlo Lizzani, Michele Lupo, Umberto Lenzi, Ruggero Deodato and Lucio Fulci. Very occasionally he has made a more mainstream picture, such as FIDDLER ON THE ROOF and THE CASSANDRA CROSSING. Still only 61 he continues to work on the continent.
Ray Lovelock as George
Arthur Kennedy is probably best remembered as Jackson Bentley, the reporter who doggedly follows Peter O'Toole in LAWRENCE OF ARABIA [1962]. Jorge Grau had a very patchy career of which this film is probably the high water mark. He also directed the very obscure but reputedly very intense crime drama Coto de caza [1983]; stay tuned for a review in due course. One final film anorak point: the visual effects and make up are by Giannetto de Rossi, who as well as working on big budget Hollywood pictures like David Lynch's DUNE [1984] has had a hand in most of the most popular Italian exploitation films, including several with the aforementioned Lucio Fulci.

The Mask of Dimitrios (1944)
THE MASK OF DIMITRIOS is an American thriller directed by Jean Negulesco that was released in July 1944. It is based on a novel by Eric Ambler and stars Peter Lorre as a writer of detective fiction who learns about the death of an underworld figure called Dimitrios Makropoulos and, intrigued by his semi-mythic reputation for cunning and cruelty, determines to find out as much as he can for his next book.
The 1940s was a fertile period for character-driven, globe-trotting thrillers. WW2 had no doubt introduced many cinemagoers to places they had never heard of before and rarely, if ever, seen depicted; for example, CASABLANCA [1942] is set in Morocco, ACROSS THE PACIFIC [1942] is set in Panama, BACKGROUND TO DANGER [1943] in Ankara, Turkey, and THE CONSPIRATORS [1944] in Lisbon, Portugal. CASABLANCA of course was an enormous hit and therefore set the template for most of the films that followed, either in terms of plot or personnel.
THE MASK OF DIMITRIOS is slightly different however. It has an exotic setting, true, and it also uses Lorre and Sydney Greenstreet from CASABLANCA; but it isn't really interested in heroism, self-sacrifice or romance. Indeed, all the characters are self-serving to one degree or another and delineated essentially by how far they are prepared to go to get what they want. This degree of cynicism pushes the film away from romantic adventure and a lot closer to film noir territory.
Zachary Scott as Dimitrios
Also like film noir, DIMITRIOS uses the flashback to tell its story. This film is structured as a series of flashbacks illustrating episodes in the life of Dimitrios as told to Lorre by people who were involved; that's very much a borrow from CITIZEN KANE [1941]. Each episode reveals a further lead for Lorre to follow up and these take him from one European city to another: Athens, Sofia, Geneva and Paris. It is noir in style too: the contrast between the bright light of the Mediterranean contrasting with the murky shadows and alleys to hint at the shades of morality we are watching. The cinematography is by Arthur Edeson who can be considered something of a pioneer of the style, at least in the US. He shot John Huston's THE MALTESE FALCON [1941] and all the films I mentioned above, except BACKGROUND TO DANGER.
DIMITRIOS is notable, as that old curmudgeon Leslie Halliwell pointed out, for being entirely populated by character parts - there are no romantic leads here. Peter Lorre was a star, certainly, but he was famous for his supporting roles. Similarly, Sydney Greenstreet was a very popular actor but he was no leading man. Zachary Scott went on to enjoy some degree of success but this was his first film.

Robinson Crusoe on Mars (1964)
It's got an awful title but ROBINSON CRUSOE ON MARS is actually a quality bit of science-fiction: it has some neat special effects, an intriguing premise and a humanitarian message. Add the fact that it is also a great 'boy's own' adventure story, a la Jules Verne, and you have to wonder why it isn't better known.
Directed by Byron Haskin in 1964, the film introduces us to two astronauts (and their pet monkey) who have been conducting research in deep space and are about to make the long journey back to Earth. Taking evasive action to avoid a passing meteorite, their craft enters Mars orbit and lacking sufficient fuel to pull out they abandon ship in separate escape pods. From this point we follow Cmdr Kit Draper (Paul Mantee) as he first tries to survive, then locate his colleague Col Dan McReady (TV Batman Adam West).
Paul Mantee as Cmdr Draper
Adam West as Col Dan McReady
I love a bit of survivalism so I really enjoyed the first half of the movie, with Draper encountering and solving a myriad of problems in order to stay alive. Now science isn't my strong point and I'm sure a lot of Draper's solutions are fanciful but they at least made sense and were hard-fought victories. It doesn't do to put your hero into a tight spot and then make it easy for him to thrive so I enjoyed seeing Draper struggle, come to terms with his environment, adapt himself and then exist in relative comfort. He has luck too in that he finds the ship's monkey who inadvertently leads him to a solution to one of his most pressing problems.
The title being what it is, naturally enough Man Friday turns up eventually; in this case he is an escaped slave of an unseen power. I say unseen, although we do see their spacecraft hovering above the planet as it hunts him down. It isn't really explained why they're hunting him down but it does allow the plot to move on - literally, as the spaceships' firing means Draper and Friday have to find somewhere else to live.
On location in Death Valley...
A combination of the unearthly landscape of California's Death Valley and some good process work means that Mars really comes alive. There are also some great cavernous sets, in the style of Henry Levin's JOURNEY TO THE CENTRE OF THE EARTH (1959): coloured rocks and water rushing through channels - they're great.
...and in the studio, plus process / matte work
Haskin is an interesting character - a true industry professional. I think it's probably fair to say he was a technician more than a director: apparently he started out as a cinematographer before working on special effects and helping to develop the technology for sound films. I get the impression that effects was his great passion though, as most of his best remembered work is in the sci-fi genre. He also directed the original film version of THE WAR OF THE WORLDS (1953), CONQUEST OF SPACE (1955) and FROM THE EARTH TO THE MOON (1958).

STAKE LAND is a hybrid genre movie which combines elements of the post-apocalypse movie with elements of the horror, specifically vampire, movie. It stars Nick Damici, Connor Paolo, Kelly McGillis, Danielle Harris, Sean Nelson and Bonnie Dennison. It was directed by Jim Mickle and originally premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in September 2010.
Vampires makes a change from zombies but even so this isn't an original idea. Richard Matheson's 1954 novel I Am Legend posited a virus-ravaged future in which a lone human fought hordes of vampires for the right to survive; it has since been adapted for the screen at least three times (see entry for THE LAST MAN ON EARTH). STAKE LAND uses much the same background, except that there are loose groups of humans eking a meagre existence during daylight and trying not to get picked off at night. The film follows two such characters: the monosyllabic but tough 'Mister' and Martin, the young boy whom he saves from a vampire that kills his parents.
A vampire chows down on Martin's baby sister
All that may make it sound hackneyed, and I suppose it is, but actually it's really effective. There's just the right balance of survivalism, vampirism, road movie and humanity. Plus there are some scenes where the visuals and voice-over combine to produce genuinely lyrical moments that recall Terrence Malick.
Director Jim Mickle may not be in that class but he along with script collaborator and leading man Nick Damici know their way around a genre picture; Mickle also has a very good eye for frame composition. Their first effort, MULBERRY STREET [2006], was a micro-budget zombie virus flick; it had flaws but showed promise, particularly in its determination to draw credible characters around which to base the action.
Connor Paolo as Martin (L) and Nick Damici as 'Mister' (R)
STAKE LAND builds on that promise and retains the commitment to character-based action. The central relationship, between surrogate father and son, is unsentimental but touching. The various characters they encounter and in some cases befriend along the way are necessarily less well drawn but nevertheless make an impact, particularly an almost unrecognisable Kelly McGillis as Sister.
Kelly McGillis
As is the case in a lot of zombie / post-apocalypse films, it soon becomes apparent that other survivors pose an equal if not greater threat than the monsters. Here that comes in the form of Christian fundamentalists (i.e. nutcases) who believe that the vampires have been sent by God to cleanse the Earth. In a neat twist, they subdue the vamps and at night drop them from helicopters into human settlements in an effort to wipe out the last of the survivors.
There's plenty of gore and shock moments to keep genre fans happy but if you're not averse to the idea of films striving for something more then STAKE LAND delivers on that too.

Rodent genus
For other uses, see Chinchilla (disambiguation).
Chinchillas are either of two species (Chinchilla chinchilla and Chinchilla lanigera) of crepuscular rodents of the parvorder Caviomorpha. They are slightly larger and more robust than ground squirrels, and are native to the Andes mountains in South America.[3] They live in colonies called "herds" at high elevations of up to 4,270 m (14,000 ft). Historically, chinchillas lived in an area that included parts of Bolivia, Peru, Argentina, and Chile, but today, colonies in the wild are known only in Chile.[4] Along with their relatives, viscachas, they make up the family Chinchillidae. They are also related to the chinchilla rat.
The chinchilla has the densest fur of all mammals that live on land. In the water, the sea otter has a denser coat.[5] The chinchilla is named after the Chincha people of the Andes, who once wore its dense, velvet-like fur.[6] By the end of the 19th century, chinchillas had become quite rare after being hunted for their ultra-soft fur.[7] Most chinchillas currently used by the fur industry for clothing and other accessories are farm-raised.[8] Domestic chinchillas descended from C. lanigera are sometimes kept as pets, and may be considered a type of pocket pet.
Comparison of chinchilla species
The two living species of chinchilla are Chinchilla chinchilla[1][2] (formerly known as Chinchilla brevicaudata) and Chinchilla lanigera.[9] C. chinchilla has a shorter tail, a thicker neck and shoulders, and shorter ears than C. lanigera. The former species is currently facing extinction; the latter, though rare, can be found in the wild.[10] Domesticated chinchillas are thought to be of the C. lanigera species.[11]
Distribution and habitat
Chinchilla habitat in the Andes mountains of Chile
Formerly, chinchillas occupied the coastal regions, hills, and mountains of Chile, Peru, Argentina, and Bolivia. Overexploitation caused the downturn of these populations and, as early as 1914, one scientist claimed that the species was headed for extinction. Five years of fieldwork (published in 2007) in Jujuy Province, Argentina, failed to find a single specimen. Populations in Chile were thought extinct by 1953, but the animal was found to inhabit an area in the Antofagasta Region in the late 1900s and early 2000s. The animal may be extinct in Bolivia and Peru, though one specimen found (in a restaurant in Cerro de Pasco) may hail from a native population.[4]
In their native habitats, chinchillas live in burrows or crevices in rocks. They are agile jumpers and can jump up to 6 ft (1.8 m). Predators in the wild include birds of prey, skunks, felines, snakes and canines. Chinchillas have a variety of defensive tactics, including spraying urine and releasing fur if bitten.[12] In the wild, chinchillas have been observed eating plant leaves, fruits, seeds, and small insects.[10]
In nature, chinchillas live in social groups that resemble colonies, but are properly called herds. Herd sizes can range from 14 members up to 100, this is both for social interaction as well as protection from predators.[13] They can breed any time of the year. Their gestation period is 111 days, longer than most rodents. Due to this long pregnancy, chinchillas are born fully furred and with eyes open. Litters are usually small in number, predominantly two.[14]
A short-tailed chinchilla, classified as "Endangered" by the IUCN, in Chile in 2007
Both species of chinchilla are currently listed as Endangered by the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species due to a severe population loss approximated at a 90% global population loss over the last 15 years.[1] The severe population decline has been caused by chinchilla hunting by humans. Until 1996, they were listed as Indeterminate on the IUCN Red List. In 2006, the long-tailed subspecies was listed as "Vulnerable" while the short-tailed subspecies was listed as "Critically Endangered". By 2008, both were listed as "Critically Endangered", and in 2016 they were reclassified as "Endangered" due to limited recovery in some areas.[15][16]
Roles with humans
Chinchilla fur coat and accessories
Fur industry
Chinchilla fur trade on an international level goes back to the 16th century. Their fur is popular due to its extremely soft feel, which is caused by the sprouting of 60 hairs (on average) from each hair follicle. The color is usually very even, which makes it ideal for small garments or the lining of larger ones, though some large pieces can be made entirely from the fur. A single, full-length coat made from chinchilla fur may require as many as 150 pelts, as chinchillas are relatively small.[17] Their use for fur led to the extinction of one species, and put serious pressure on the other two. Though it is illegal to hunt wild chinchillas, they are now on the verge of becoming extinct because of continued poaching. Domesticated chinchillas are still bred for fur.[18]
As pets
The domestic chinchilla is descended from Chinchilla lanigera, the long-tailed Chinchilla, and the more common one in the wild after the other species, Chinchilla chinchilla, or short-tailed Chinchilla, has been hunted nearly to extinction. Therefore, domestic chinchillas have thinner bodies, longer tails and larger ears.
Silver mosaic chinchilla
Chinchillas are popular pets, though they require extensive exercise and dental care,[19] due to their teeth continually growing throughout their life span, and since they lack the ability to sweat, they require a temperature-controlled environment.[20]
The animals instinctively clean their fur by taking dust baths, in which they roll around in special dust made of fine pumice, a few times a week; they do not bathe in water. Their thick fur resists parasites, such as fleas, and reduces loose dander.[21]
In scientific research
Chinchillas have been used in research since the 1950s. Since the 1970s, the prime interest in chinchillas by researchers is their auditory system.[22] Other research fields in which chinchillas are used as an animal model include the study of Chagas disease, gastrointestinal diseases, pneumonia, and listeriosis, as well as of Yersinia and Pseudomonas infections.[23]
Chinchillas live active lives and can recover well from minor physical injury.[24] Fractures may be problematic, because chinchillas will want to sit on their hind legs and eat with their front paws, so many types of injuries will disturb their natural eating behavior.[24]
Chinchilla breeders sometimes report seeing their animals have convulsions. Typically this happens only irregularly and then only for a few seconds, and not more than a few minutes at the most.[25] Convulsions are a symptom that can have many causes, including a brain problem such as hemorrhaging, a vitamin or dietary element deficiency in the diet, or some kind of nervous system injury.[25] If convulsions are observed after chinchillas mate then it is not unlikely that they are related to a circulatory problem.[25] Some chinchillas who are kept in groups have stress convulsions during feeding if they see other chinchillas getting food first.[26] Vitamin B, cardiac medication, or a calcium injection may be used to prevent convulsions.[25]
A standard domestic chinchilla
Listeriosis is not a typical chinchilla disease, but in group housing conditions it can spread as a digestive tract disease in a community.[27] Pasteurella can be contracted from food and then transmitted among a group of chinchillas.[28] Symptoms include apathy, digestive disorder, and fever.[29] Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections are widely distributed in nature and can affect chinchillas like many other animals.[30] They can cause wide deaths in populations of chinchillas and spontaneous abortion in pregnant chinchillas.[30]
Respiratory tract infections can be caused by many pathogens, but, regardless of cause, usually result in difficult breathing and a nasal discharge.[31] Young chinchilla are more likely to be affected and these infections are unlikely to result in an epidemic, even if transmissible.[31]
Gastrointestinal disorders are observed as either constipation or diarrhea.[31] These are almost always the result of a problem with the diet, but if the diet is optimal, they could be the symptom of an infectious disease.[32] Constipation in chinchillas is difficult to observe in groups because it may not be obvious than an animal is not contributing to the population's waste.[32] If it is identified, mild treatments include feeding paraffin to soften the feces.[32]
Chinchillas are easily distressed, and when they are unhappy, they may exhibit physical symptoms.[33] A common indicator of stress in pet chinchillas is fur-chewing (or fur barbering), an excessive grooming behavior that results in uneven patches of fur; chinchillas may chew their own fur or that of their cagemates.[34] Fur-chewing can sometimes be alleviated through changes in living environment, but is regarded by some experts to be passed genetically from parents to offspring. Usually, fur-chewing itself is a benign symptom that not does not cause physiological distress. [35]
Sick chinchillas may stop eating if they are stressed, which can make them even more weak.[36] Chinchillas which live in communities are especially sensitive in their breeding seasons of February to March and August to September.[36] Chinchillas are social animals and are likely to be upset to have their breeding mate changed in breeding season.[36] They are known to be disturbed by a change of diet in these times.[36]
Pharmaceutical treatment
Chinchillas may be treated with chloramphenicol, neomycin, or spectinomycin for digestive problems.[36] Sulfonamides dissolved in drinking water may be used.[37] Colistin can be an effective antibiotic.[37]

This analysis is aimed
at showing sterling economic achievements for which Governor Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi would forever be remembered. It is also to point out the intrigues and the politics of this misunderstood leader and some of his actions that led to his present exalted position in the politics of Nigeria.
Early Political Career
University of Port Harcourt (UNIPORT) in Rivers State was where Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi laid the foundation of his political life, particiipating actively in student union politics, especially in the National Union of Rivers State Students (NURSS), of which he was president, and the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS).
After graduation, he cut his teeth in politics as secretary of the now defunct National Republican Convention (NRC) in Ikwerre Local Government Area of Rivers State from1992 to 1994.
He was special assistant to Peter Odili, the then deputy governor of Rivers State, and also a member of the Board of West Africa Glass Industry as well as Risonpalm Nigeria Limited.
He was secretary of the Caretaker Committee of the Rivers State Chapter of the disbanded Democratic Party of Nigeria (DPN) in 1996 during the transition programme of the General Sani Abacha junta.
In 1999, Amaechi contested and won a seat to become a member of the Rivers State House of Assembly to represent his constituency.
He was subsequently elected Speaker of the House of Assembly as well a chairman of Nigeria's Conference of Speakers of State Assemblies.
He was re-elected into the State House of Assembly in May 2003 and equally re-elected Speaker. A master's degree holder, Amaechi assumption of office as Governor based on a Supreme Court judgement after PDP dumped him despite his convincingly winning the party's gubernatorial ticket, remains a mystery to many political watchers in the country.
By May 2015 Amaechi would have spent eight years as Governor of Rivers State. He is currently Chairman of the Nigeria Governors' Forum (NGF). His unprecedented feats in the transformation of Rivers State have won him many international and local awards as well as the respect of great world and Nigerian leaders.
His Feats
The administration of Amaechi has recorded several feats, among them the following: Setting up of the Songhai Farms and the N20bn Agric Scheme that revolutionised agriculture in the State; initiated the Greater Port Harcourt City to decongest the present Port Harcourt City and construction of one of the best stadia that hosted the 2010 National Sports Festival in the new city; building and equipping 180 health centres across the State, constructed many roads and schools, embarked on a monorail- the first of its kind in Nigeria which upon completion will transport 40,000 passengers daily.
Another feat is the offer of scholarship to over 2,000 students in Nigerian higher institutions and spending of about N20bn on Rivers students in foreign institutions. Then there is the building of a world-class university which when completed will turn out well equipped graduates that will hold their own in any field and compete with the best in the world.
There is also the building, in Rivers State University of Science and Technology (RSUST), of a hostel that will accommodate about 6,000 students in addition to housing all the lecturers of the university. The university will be fully ICT compliant.
It is important to point out here that the Rivers State Government is among the few in Nigeria that offer free education and free health delivery to its people but stands apart as the only State offering free edu- cation, free sandals, free books and free uniforms in Nigeria. About 200 primary schools have been set up in 200 communities, a feat that no other state is yet to accomplish.
Under Health; so far, about 100 medical doctors have been employed to staff most of the Health Centres in the rural areas. The Rivers State Government has currently embarked upon the eradication of malaria vectors from the State. The Health Centre at RSUST will soon be opened to the public. The State was lauded last year for its daily commissioning of a health centre over a 60-day period in 60 communities in its 60-60-60 initiative. The Dental Hospital located in the Garrison area of Port Harcourt will soon be opened.
The Rivers State Government invested over N100bn per year from 2008 till 2011 in provision of roads, bridges and social amenities. In this regard, the Government has engaged in the construction of 800km roads with 250 already completed. It also commenced work on 10 major bridges, with 3 already completed while 20 minor bridges were started, with four completed.
Other projects include 2 flyovers/interchanges under construction; 6 land reclamation/shore protection projects at Andoni, Opobo, Buguma, Abalama,Olombie/Owukiri Island, Obo Ama, Okrika, with 1,1400,000km completed; 2 major markets and a shopping mall under construction (phase 1 of Mile 1 Market housing 960 shops and two banking halls completed).
Apart from all these, the Rivers StateGovernment has built three power stations at Omoku (150 Mega watts), Trans-Arnadi (130 Mega watts) and Eleme (75 mega watts). The security and freedom the people of Rivers State are now enjoying can only be appreciated if the scenario in the State before Gov. Amaechi assumed office is replayed.
It is on record that Rivers State has again been affirmed a 'B' international rating by leading international financial analysis agency, Standard and Poor's (S & P). The long-term outlook for the state was revised upwards from last year rating of "Stable" to "Positive" on the strength of significant ongoing infrastructural investments (in roads, ICT, healthcare, education and urban renewal) and relentless efforts to transform the public finance framework. All this would help lift the state's social and economic status in the long run.
In appreciation of these feats, the Rivers State Governor, Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, has been conferred with the prestigious SERA award for his contributions towards the social development of Rivers State, in line with the objectives of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), especially in the areas of Health and Education.
While I know the difficulty in managing public funds, Governor Amaechi has demonstrated a high level of skill, integrity and probity in this regard. The numerous projects completed and ongoing in the State is a clear indication that the Governor indeed deserves encomium from all and sundry rather than being vilified by some people.
He and his team certainly deserve kudos for prudently utilising the public funds. To Malcolm X, "When you have a philosophy or a gospel- I don't care whether it's a religious gospel, a political gospel, an economic gospel or a social gospel – if it's not going to do something for you and me right here and right now – to hell with that gospel."
One can state unequivocally that Governor Amaechi has invested the resources of the people of Rivers State wisely and judiciously. This is not surprising to keen watchers of this administration. History will surely be fair to Amaechi and his team.
Amaechi and Jonathan before the crisis:
Reminiscing on the orchestrated problem between President Jonathan and Governor Amaechi, two great sons of the Niger Delta, I took out time to study the gladiators and the bond between them which, ordinarily, should have made their friendship impenetrable. The word bond means something that binds, fastens, confines, or holds together a cord, rope, band, or ligament, something like an agreement or friendship that unites individuals or people into a group.
According to Catherine Beecher, "The principle of subordination is the great bond of union and harmony through the universe" and according to Rainer Maria Rike, "I hold this to be the highest task for a bond between two people: that each protects the solitude of the other:"
Facts available to me show that these two great exponents of democracy share similar family background – raised in humble families and experienced the pains of being educated by poor parents.
President Jonathan won the hearts of Nigerians with his expose that he was that student who trekked to school without a shoe, while Governor Amaechi also won hearts by revealing that he had a sandal and one pair of trouser which he washed every weekend to be used the following week for the major part of his undergraduate days. The two political leaders are products of UNIPORT and are among the Port Harcourt big boys.
Although President Jonathan is the older of the two, Amaechi has greater political experience. He has been in politics right from his days in the university, eventually becoming the only Nigerian that was a Speaker of a State House of Assembly for eight years and at the same time Chairman, Conference of Speakers in Nigeria, while later becoming Chairman of the Nigeria Governors' Forum (NGF).
President Jonathan, on the other hand, is the first PhD holder (not honourary) to preside over the affairs of the country and the only Nigerian that left the academic environment where he was a Lecturer after having a stint with the defunct OMPADEC and rose to become a Deputy Governor (Bayelsa State), Governor, Vice President, Acting President and President all this without contesting a single election.
Talking of the significance of their names, Chibuike means "God is all Powerful" and "Rotimi" an abridged version of "Oluwadurotimi" meaning "the Lord stands by me", while Amaechi means "who knows tomorrow?".
On the other hand, Ebelechukwu which is the native name of the President, means "God's Mercy". Remember the popular phrase, what is in a name? One does not need to be a sage to know that all the meanings embedded in their names are playing out nicely in their lives.
While President Jonathan as the Vice President of Nigeria was suffering every humiliation in the hands of the cabal during the Umaru Musa Yar'Adua-led administration, Amaechi proved to be a reliable pillar of support behind him.
When President Yar'Adua passed on and Jonathan was being pushed around, Amaechi was among those in the forefront of ensuring that Vice President Jonathan assumed office as the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria when the National Assembly out of their wisdom came up with the Doctrine of Necessity.
During the 2011 elections, Governor Amaechi, not minding some other options available to him, opted to rally other Governors to ensure that President Jonathan won the PDP ticket and during the election proper, Amaechi delivered two million votes from the State to ensure that Jonathan got elected as the 14th President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Not done with all this affection to his own brother with whom he shares some invisible bond not known to many Nigerians, Amaechi went ahead even while President Jonathan was the Vice President to ask him to nominate candidates to his Cabinet in Rivers State.
This resulted in the nomination of Israel Owate, a professor, who was once the president's classmate, as the Commissioner for Education. Unfortunately, Owate could not drive the vision of the governor on education as fast as the governor wanted, so he was dropped.
Amaechi requested a replacement from Jonathan, who this time norninated Moses Ahubele, who manned the Ministry of Empowerment and Employment Generation till he died after an illness in the later part of 2010. After the 2011 general elections, Governor Amaechi requested from the president and he graciously nominated Charles Okaye, who still serves as the commissioner for chieftaincy and community-related affairs.
Amaechi's Travails:
Despite his great show of love to President Jonathan, Governor Amaechi has been subjected to monumental humiIiation by the presidency. A few examples: The plane of the Rivers State Government was grounded for no just cause, the PDP Structure in Rivers State was taken away from Amaechi, his election as the Chairman of NGF duly certified and acknowledged worldwide was annulled by President Jonathan and his cohorts.
As if that was not enough, Arnaechi was suspended from a party he so much loved and spent so much to build. Indeed, if not for divine providence, he would have been illegally impeached by five legislators in a House of 32 members; a Police Commissioner was posted to haunt, insult and abuse him publicly, calling him a despot. What is more, governors that came to visit him were stoned! In the eyes of Nigerians, Amaechi stands as a great man while in the eyes of those haunting him he is a persona non grata.
The Reasons:
Governor Amaechi's rnajor sin apart from his feats in governace and his assistance to President Jona than is his love for his State and readiness to protect the interest Rivers State.
The chairman, House of Representatives Committee on Service Matters, Andrew Uchendu once raised an alarm that Amaechi's life had come under threat from the Federal Government and its agents. He too recounted several actions and threats to the governor, from Kano incident to the Odudu Ondo one. Who would believe that a person of the status of Governor Ameachi irrespective of his relationship, respect and love he exhibited towards his own brother the President could be so haunted, humiliated, frustrated and his State turned to a war zone even while his brother is still the President of the Federal Republic Nigeria? That is the irony of life. Let the world judge!
Commenting on the perceived sins of Governor Amaechi, one of his closest allies, former Commissioner of Works and current Chairman of the Petroleum Downstream Commitee of the House of Representatives, Dakuku Peterside, said in a recent interview: "Some persons also claim that he is too forthright and I don't know what crime that is called. However, the biggest unsaid problem in the perception by certain persons Presidency that Governor Ameachi has ambition to aspire to higher office.
The attempt to crirninalise ambition, if any, is the root cause of the perceived problem in NGF. The second strand is speaking truth to power as can be seen in Governor Amaechi's comments on Sovereign Wealth Fund, Excess Crude Account, Rivers-Bayelsa oil well issue, fuel subsidy, East-West road, Adamawa PDP, amongst others:
Achinike Godwin William-Wobodo, senior special assistant to Governor Amaechi on Inter-Governmental Affairs, who holds an LLM in Criminal Law and Practice and is currently pursuing a PhD in Money Laundering and Anti-Corruption Law,in his own submission stated: "The induced situation is caused by third party elements, who are either driven by the hunger for power or jealousy.
Hear the illustrious son of the State and former Minister of Petroleum Resources, the professor, Tam David-West: "I'm particularly worried about the trend, not only because I am a Rivers State elder, not only because I am a strong supporter of Amaechi without any regret, I am also worried as a Nigerian because what is happening to Amaechi underscores a terrible Nigerian paradox, which I call the paradox of excellence.
"We support him because those of us who grew up in Port Harcourt as a famous 'Garden City' knew how the city changed to a rotten city. And Amaechi, who is also a Port Harcourt boy, returned the city back to its glorious 'Garden City' status. Any person that does not realise this is not only blind but terrible:"
This great sage reminded Amaechi's opponents that he who laughs last, laughs best, stating with emphasis that the governor would laugh last because his first name, Chibuike, means God is strength:
How Amaechi, others, were pushed to the APC.
The desperation to completely destroy Amaechi led to his departure, alongside six other PDP governors, to form the New PDP, with five of them later joining the mega opposifton political party, the APC.
Explaining why, Amaechi Said: "At various times, as the one whom you gave your mandate, I had cause to complain about the marginalisation of our State and our people despite our huge contribution to the national coffers and our unflinching commitment and support for the ruling PDP.
While the political and economic importance of Rivers State cannot be contested, we continue to hold the shorter end of the stick. A few instances may suffice: Our oil wells have been ceded to Bayelsa, Abia and Akwa Ibom states. Even after we got a judgement that the oil wells were wrongly ceded to Akwa Ibom State and should be returned to us; only dry wells that were no longer producing oil were returned.
"In the specific case of the Soku oil wells, despite a decision reached that the monies should remain in an escrow account till all matters concerning it are resolved, the Federal Government continues to pay neighbouring Bayelsa State the revenues meant for Rivers State in a classic case of robbing Peter to pay Paul. It is indeed noteworthy that we have made several representations formally and informally on this matter.
A second instance is the total absence of federal presence in Rivers State. The National Good Governance Tour provided a good opportunity for the Federal Government to showcase its presence in Rivers State. The tour, if nothing else, proved that there was not much to show in a state that is the cash cow of the federation.
The East-West Road remains abandoned, work has been deliberately slow on the Port Harcourt International Airport, the third busiest airport in the country, while all airports started along with it have long been completed and ommissioned.
The Bonny-Bomu Road that leads to the only functional liquefied natural gas project remains uncompleted.
In the midst of all these, our administration went ahead to fix federal roads to the tune of N103bn. Several representations and letters after, not one kobo has been repaid. The Federal Government is actively discouraging investments in Rivers State:
Conclusion: Good name better than gold;
When the powers that be in Abuja chose to chastise Governor Amaechi left, right, front and back to make him look unpopular before his constituency in order to prepare the ground for his ultimate removal from office, I saw whose interest they were serving and warned that they would inadvertently help Amaechi to become not only stronger but also triumphantly victorious at the end of the day. Many people dismissed my prediction with a wave of the hand. This has happened.
Today, despite all the attempts to bring him down, Governor Amaechi has proved himself an icon, hero and soldier of democracy. Some of the feats of this great leader of our time include making Port Harcourt the World Book Capital City, dogged fight for the oil wells and other rights of Rivers State and her people, as well as award-winning achievements in Education, Agriculture and Health, etc.
The latest proof is governor's recent decoration as an Associate Fellow of the United Nations Institute for Training & Research (UNITAR), Geneva, Switzerland.

Boys Soccer: Miller's hat trick carries Southold past Greenport
By Joe Werkmeister
GARRET MEADE PHOTO | Southold senior Evan Miller (3 goals) leaps in the air to make a play on the ball Thursday against Greenport in the Class playoffs.
FIRST SETTLERS 5, PORTERS 0
Mother Nature's cruel punishment of the northeast made it seem like the Section XI boys soccer playoffs may never begin. First a hurricane, then an nor'easter blanketing much of the region with snow.
By the time No. 2 Southold and No. 3 Greenport/Shelter Island took the field for the opening round playoff match in the Class C playoffs, the weather still wasn't cooperating. Frigid temperatures, heavy wind and a wintery mix of precipitation at the start of Thursday's game didn't exactly make for ideal playing conditions.
But after more than two weeks without a game, both teams were thrilled just to finally get back on the field.
"You want to play in the snow and freezing rain," said Southold coach Andrew Sadowski. "That's what it's about."
The First Settlers seized the moment, outworking the Porters for a 5-0 victory at Southold High School that sends them into the county finals Saturday afternoon at Diamond in the Pines.
Senior Evan Miller scored the first three goals, bringing his season total to a Long Island-leading 28. Senior Muhammet Ilgin added the final two goals late in the second half. They were the first goals he scored this season.
GARRET MEADE PHOTO | Greenport sophomore Angel Colon heads the ball Thursday afternoon.
Greenport finished the season 6-9-2 overall. After stumbling out of the gates and losing their first four games by a total of 20-1, the Porters rebounded to finish the League VIII season in third place.
"People said we'll be lucky to win a game," said Greenport coach Chris Golden. "We ended up going 6-4-2 and making the playoffs. Great job for these guys."
The First Settlers (13-4) will play for their first county title since 2008. They'll face either undefeated Port Jefferson or fourth-seeded Pierson, which play their semifinal match Friday. Port Jefferson defeated Southold in the county finals last year and is the defending Class C state champion. The Royals won 4-0 in both games against Southold this season.
Against the Porters Southold struck early when Miller converted a penalty kick just 2 1/2 minutes into the game.
After such a long break without a game, scoring an early goal gave the First Settlers a quick boost. With the wind to their back for the first half, the First Settlers needed to strike early in the game.
Miller was set up beautifully for his second goal with 10 minutes left in the first half. Junior Drew Sacher dribbled along the end line and sent a pass over the middle parallel to the goal. The ball skipped past a Greenport defender to the far post where Miller was waiting all by himself.
"With this team it's always are we going to take advantage of our talent?" Sadowski said. "And I think today we did."
Golden said the First Settlers simply dominated the action.
"They outplayed us," he said. "You got to tip your hat to them. They deserved the game."
The Porters didn't get many chances offensively, especially in the first half when they were facing a stiff wind, which made it difficult to pass the ball up field.
In the second half they did get six corner kicks, but couldn't capitailze on any of those chances.
"They have a lot of talent and we certainly expected that they would come back in the second half when they had the wind," Sadowski said. "We told our guys we got to play the ball on the ground, play with patience, play with our skill."
The First Settlers actually ended up scoring more goals in the second half going into the wind.
Miller made it a hat trick when he scored with 11:34 left in the half. A minute later, after a near collision, Miller took a seat on the bench for the rest of the game as Sadowski didn't want to risk any sort of injury with the game well in hand.
Sacher, a key goal-scorer for the First Settlers all season, turned into more of a playmaker against Greenport, dishing out three assists.
"It's not necessarily his role, it's kind of what's developed," Sadowski said. "He prides himself on the ability to create and lay passes off."
Sadowski also praised the effort of Zach Ellis defensively.
"He was dynamite in the back today," he said.
Southold goalkeeper Kenji Fujita made eight saves. Greenport goalkeeper Austin Hooks stopped seven shots.
Miller missed a golden opportunity to score a goal in the first half when he drilled the ball off the right post while only a few yards in front of the goal.
Sadowski said hitting the ball with power at that point against a strong goalkeeper was the right play.
"The other two games we played during the year [Hooks] was in the right position at the right time and made some very good saves," Sadowski said. "Evan trying to hit it with power and strength, I think that's still the right call."
Southold swept all three games against the Porters this year. It was the second straight year Southold ended Greenport's season in the playoffs.

A Best Practice Alert for Identifying Hepatitis B-Infected Patients
Am J Trop Med Hyg 2020 May 18.doi: 10.4269/ajtmh.20-0041. Online ahead of print.

We developed and evaluated the Global Health Wizard Hepatitis B Best Practice Alert (BPA) to increase primary care provider adherence to evidence-based guidelines for hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection screening in non-U.S.-born patients. We conducted a pilot study using nine clinics to test BPA effectiveness. Eligible patients were aged ≥ 12 years, from a country of origin with ≥ 2% HBV prevalence, had no electronic health record documentation of HBV screening, and were seen for primary care during July 2012-March 2013. The BPA triggered for > 4,500 patients and identified six previously unrecognized HBV-infected patients. The pilot project demonstrated BPA effectiveness and continued to be used at pilot clinics until 2018 and was expanded to additional clinics in 2019; 29 additional HBV-infected patients were identified. Although successful, BPA usage steadily decreased over time. Poor BPA usage limits the power to achieve the goal of improved population-based HBV screening.

L'hôpital La Rochefoucauld est un ancien hôpital de l'Assistance publique - hôpitaux de Paris (AP-HP) situé dans le  de Paris.

Description
L'hôpital comprend un grand bâtiment néo-classique du  en U.

Histoire

Cette « maison royale de santé » fut fondée en 1780 avec l'aide du roi Louis XVI, elle a été construite par l'architecte Charles-François Viel de Saint-Méaux.

L'établissement nommé Maison royale de santé est doté par la vicomtesse de La Rochefoucauld (branche La Rochefoucauld-Surgères), née Anne Rosalie Chauvelin, fille du garde des Sceaux Germain-Louis Chauvelin. L'établissement est rebaptisé sous la Révolution, Hospice national de Montrouge avant de porter le nom en 1821 d'hospice de La Rochefoucauld, puis actuellement, Hôpital La Rochefoucauld.

L'hôpital La Rochefoucauld fait l'objet d'une inscription au titre des monuments historiques depuis le .

La maison de retraite La Rochefoucauld, bel ensemble à l'ordonnance rectiligne, offre au promeneur une halte reposant.

Cette Maison royale de Santé, est établie près de l'ancienne barrière d'Enfer, à l'extérieur du mur des fermiers généraux dans le quartier du Petit-Mont-Rouge et sur le grand chemin menant à Bourg-la-Reine, pour recevoir exclusivement des militaires et des ecclésiastiques malades et dénués de ressources. Les premiers pensionnaires ne durent pas s'y sentir à l'étroit, car ils n'étaient encore que vingt-trois lorsqu'éclata la Révolution.

Le docteur Jean-Baptiste Dumangin (1744-1826), médecin chef de l'Hôpital de la Charité de Paris, est en 1782, le premier médecin de la maison de santé fondé par le père Gérard des Frères de Saint-Jean de Dieu. Pendant la Révolution française, il demande sous la Terreur des certificats pour pouvoir se déplacer facilement. En voici unː  Le docteur Dumangin est appelé par le Comité de sûreté générale le  à se rendre à la tour du Temple, la veille de la mort de Louis XVII pour soulager le docteur Pelletan d'une charge qu'il ne veut pas prendre seul et pour l'aider à soigner le fils de défunt Louis XVI.

De l'avenue René-Coty, on distingue bien la façade arrière de la maison et le curieux « regard de Saux » () de l'aqueduc Médicis (dit aussi « aqueduc d'Arcueil »), qui gouvernait les conduites d'eau approvisionnant l'asile, et dont l'architecture est inspirée du Mausolée de Cyrus à Pasargades.

En 2019, il est mis à disposition pour l'accueil temporaire de femmes isolées, puis loué au commissariat de police du XIVe arrondissement.

Localisation
L'hôpital La Rochefoucauld est situé 15 avenue du Général-Leclerc et 8bis-8ter avenue René-Coty dans le  de Paris.

Ce site est desservi par la station de métro Mouton-Duvernet.

The call for conditions to be placed on the regulatory approval of Comcast's proposed deal to control 51 percent of NBC Universal is getting louder.
On Tuesday (Dec. 7) Rep. Henry Waxman (D-Calif.), chairman of the Energy and Commerce Committee, sent a letter to Federal Communications Commission chairman Julius Genachowski proposing a number of conditions.
Waxman also urged that the FCC conclude its review by the end of the year, if possible. The conditions would ensure that competing program distributors have access to Comcast and NBCU programming, prevent Comcast-NBCU from blocking or degrading online content that competes with the combined company, and provide other protections for unaffiliated cable programmers and independent programmers.
"If the merger is approved, it could trigger significant changes in the way consumers access video programming, in the way independent programmers distribute their works, and in the way all video distributors compete for customers," Waxman wrote.
In the final days of review, a number of groups and companies have stepped up lobbying efforts in the halls of Congress and at the FCC to urge that conditions be placed on the unprecedented $30 billion deal. In a press conference Tuesday morning, the American Cable Association discussed how it and three of its member companies were making the rounds this week visiting congressional leaders and the FCC.
Comcast and NBCU executives are also meeting with regulators.
Fearing that the regulatory review could go into next year, Comcast and NBCU extended the terms of the deal to March.

Donovaly () is a village in the Banská Bystrica Region of central Slovakia. Being situated in an important pass between the mountains of Veľká Fatra and Starohorské vrchy, on the route connecting Banská Bystrica with Ružomberok, it became a prominent centre of winter and summer sports.

History
Donovaly was founded in the early 17th century. During World War II, it became an important center of the anti-German Resistance.

Tourism
Donovaly is a part of Low Tatras National Park, and it hosts one of the biggest and most popular ski resorts in Slovakia. Elevation is between 910 – 1,402 m, and there are more than 11 km of ski slopes, 17 lifts and elevators.
In 2006, the Telemix lift by POMA, France – the 3rd of this kind in the world – was installed.
It consists of 6 seated lift chairs, and 8 seated cabins, so the skiers can choose how they will go up to the top.
Winter season starts from end of November and lasts until late March, beginning of April. It is also renowned for its dogsled racing championships.

Q: how to allocate memory for unknown size struct array in C I am trying to read a big ticks file in C and save them a struct for every second. In each second, I will have different tickers in this struct. However, my code will get crash if in some second we saw too much high volume of tickers.
For example,
In second 1, it only have 10 tickers.
In second 1000, it is seeing 10000.
My code will allocate the same size of memory for each second so it waste too many memory for quiet second but not big enough for busy second.
Please find my add struct code below,
long int addTickArray(long int TickTime, int maximumOrderSize, struct TickArray*TickArray, long int TickPos) {

        int i;

        for (i = TickPos; i < maximumOrderSize; i++) {

            if (TickArray[i].TickTime == NULL) {

                break;

            } else if (TickArray[i].TickTime == TickTime) {

                return i;

            }

        }

        struct TickArray newTickArray;

        newTickArray.Ticker = malloc(4000 * sizeof (char*) *10);
        newTickArray.askprice = malloc(4000 * sizeof (float*));
        newTickArray.bidprice = malloc(4000 * sizeof (float*));

        newTickArray.TickTime = TickTime;

        newTickArray.TickTimePos = 0;

        TickArray[i] = newTickArray;

        return(i);
    }

I am not sure is there any smart way to allocate a flexible memory for the struct.

A: Use realloc to allocate more memory when the initial block has been filled.
struct TickArray {
    size_t maxSize;
    size_t currSize;
    // Declaration of ticker, askprice, bidprice
};

When currSize reaches maxSize:
maxSize = maxSize * 2;
tickData.ticker = realloc(tickData.tickarray, maxSize * ...

A: I believe there is a design issue in your code: for some reason you read the data (code not included in the question) and allocate memory for that data (addTickArray function) in two different functions. This leads to waste of resources and introduces additional failure conditions.
What you should do is to create a single function which does both - reads the file and allocates memory for new data - at the same time. For example, you could temporarily read new ticks into an array large enough for the worst case, check the actual size of the data and allocate a new TickArray element of exact needed size.

A: You can create and use List structure to resolve your problem. List structure allow you allocate one element every time you add new element.
Or you can double resizing mechanism to resize your array. you must use two variables: one to store the current size, one to store the max size of array. When the current size larger than the max size, you use "realloc" function to re allocate your array with the new size by the double of current max size
Ex:
if (currentSize+1 > maxSize)
{
    maxSize *= 2;
    T* newArray = (T*) realloc (currentArray, maxSize * sizeof(T));
}

currentArray[currentSize++] = newElement;

The 5th Wave (film review by Frank Ochieng)
January 26, 2016 | By FrankOchieng	| 1 Reply More
Well, the young adult movie adaptation genre continues to percolate, despite the farewell sentiments as demonstrated by hugely popular products meant to entice the teen scene such as the' Twilight', 'Divergent', 'Maze Runner' and 'The Hunger Games' film series. Sure, why not tamper with a proven formula that guarantees all the right ingredients to tap into the angst-ridden world of young feminine empowerment set against a background of apocalyptic strife and undefined self-discovery? In director J Blakeson's drippy and derivative dystopian drama 'The 5th Wave', we are introduced to another similar SF serving of a disillusioned heroine out to reflect some consciousness in a boundary of uncertainly and destructive despair. Sadly, 'The 5th Wave' is nothing more than a stillborn alien invasion soap opera that wants to spout off its 'Hunger Games'-esque copycat coating but fails to delve into anything remotely original or bitingly daring.
'The 5th Wave' is the literary brainchild of novelist Rick Yancey's printed pages as he brings to life the trials and tribulations of tenacious teen tart Cassie Sullivan (Chloe Grace Moretz from 'Kick-Ass'), a timid tyke-turned-guerilla warfare gal whose guts and gumption to find and protect her little brother during a full-scale alien invasion of the planet is put forth in flimsy animated fashion. Actually, the young actress Moretz, a veteran of a few films already lodged under her belt, has quite a feisty presence on screen and more than holds her own as the 'princess of panic' in the generic doomsday drama that really brings nothing to the tension-filled table.
The material that Moretz is obligated to bring to life feels rather strained and stilted because the YA creative cloud hovers over the proceedings in a predictable, syrupy manner. 'The 5th Wave' lacks the intensity and philosophical fiber that 'The Hunger Games' effortlessly put forth in imaginable conception. Plus, the energy and bombastic buzz of 'Hunger Games' imitator 'Divergent' does not seem to be part of 'The 5th Wave's anemic pulse. Incredibly, Blakeson's lean and lacking futuristic feminine fable incorporates a cinematic stew of film flavors that heavily echoes such solid blueprints as everything from 'Red Dawn' and 'Independence Day' to the WOW-factor of blockbusters in 'Jurassic Park' and 'Starship Troopers'. The sad part is that, even with the borrowing of these cinematic ideas, 'The 5th Wave' still registers as a limp alien invasion actioner without much punch or promise. The film is well-intentioned in its YA-oriented gravitas but will soon be dismissed as another 'Hunger Games' wannabe going through the motions.
As with the inspired make-up that is at the root of these conventional YA melodramas, 'The 5th Wave' offers its share of youth-minded dire and doom, romantic exploration and the element of military-style redemption and rebellion. As Moretz's Callie is called into action among the devastating ruins she is determined to reunite with her last surviving relative Sam (Zackary Arthur). Soon, this mild-mannered schoolgirl has to whip into shape and protect the interests of her deteriorating community as the hard-nosed alien invaders look to wreak havoc and take over the world or at least Callie's part of the world that has her fellow citizens shocked and stunned.
"Listen up you invading planetary pests…you're not going to compromise me, my man or the world…got that Jack! Why? Well…because Cassie Sullivan from THE 5TH WAVE says so!"
Poor Cassie…in addition to her mind focusing on locating her sibling, revving up for her showdown with the alien intruders and shaking of her vulnerabilities she is caught in a love triangle that tests her limits. Should Cassie fall for the dashing and daring Ben (Nick Robinson, 'Jurassic World'), a fellow classmate about to enroll into the junior start-up army looking to combat the unwelcomed visitors or should her confused heart throb for backwoods bad boy Evan Walker (Alex Roe)? Also, how would Cassie feel if she discovers that her hunk-in-training may have a thing for the ravaging rough-around-the-edges recruit Ringer (Maika Monroe). Ah, love among the languishing landscape!
It is definitely the consensus that 'The 5th Wave' may not be included in the Mount Rushmore of youth-friendly dystopias merely because it is nothing more than a shadowy reminiscence of the more defining, developed and decisive babes-in-the-woods boisterous actions. Even when not just comparing 'The 5th Wave' to its better conceived contemporaries, it dos not feel comfortable in its own mediocrity when standing on its own two feet. It is compelling only for its goal in pushing the conveyor belt of SF YA duds to uphold Hollywood's attempt to kidnap the psyche of young moviegoers looking for the next big screen teen scene sensation to boost box office receipts.
Sorry but there is no need to take out the sci-fi surfing board for the tepid trappings of 'The 5th Wave'.

Sid o Ṣid (in lingua fenicia, ṢD) era una divinità fenicia associata alla guarigione e corrispondente al Sardus Pater latino. Era venerato in Sardegna e in Nord Africa.

Aveva l'epiteto di B'BY (Babay, "padre") come testimoniano i reperti trovati nel tempio di Antas a Fluminimaggiore. È stato ipotizzato che fosse di origine egizia.

Then there was Molly Ringwald. I don't have a screen shot, but to anybody who saw her introduce a number from the musical of "The Wedding Singer" (because it takes place in the 80s and she was famous in the 80s!!!), I welcome suggestions as to what in the world has happened to her. I didn't know it was possible to give an unconvincing read working with a teleprompter at an awards show, but she managed it.
