The Arden Syntax
What is the Arden Syntax?
"A standard for representing clinical and scientific knowledge in an executable format."*
The goal of the Arden Syntax is to be a standard programming language for the implementation of clinical decision support systems.
It gets its name from a place called the "Arden Homestead" in New York, where it was prepared in 1989.
It was first published in 1992 by this group called "The American Society for Testing and Materials," and was later on integrated into HL7.
It is now maintained by the HL7 organization, which means "Hospital Level 7" because level 7 is the applications layer of the OSI model.
You could use it to create decision support systems that qualify as demonstrating "meaningful use."
it is an actively developed HL7 standard
it is made with the goal of being readable by a human
it has measures for time and duration, important in medicine (specifically each data item in th syntax has two components, the value and primary time)
it has nice list handling
Challenges / Disadvantages
integration with current hospital systems
lack of standardized vocabularies and patient data schemas
difficulties providing actions for clinicians to take
lack of up to date tutorials and manuals
The curly braces problem: in an MLM, curly braces are used to signify parts of the MLM that are specific to the surrounding health IT system. These fragments would need to be customized for each implementation, and this is why we can't just have a central repository of MLMs for all institutions to use.
How is the code organized?
Into THREE modules, called the "Medical Logic Modules (MLMs) that are each self-contained files. The execution or "trigger" of these files can be based on data or time-based events, or directly by a person. A MLM can also trigger other MLMs.
What does an MLM look like?
The image below is an example of an MLM, written in Arden syntax, to calculate BMI given an individual's size, weight, and birthdate.
What kinds of MLMs are there?
There are three categories of MLMs:
Maintenance: contains metadata about the MLM (author, creation date)
Library category: background information (references, goals of MLM)
Knowledge category: contains actual algorithms, database parameters, when the MLM should be triggered etc. Three sub categores are evoke, logic, and action, i.e., when to evoke, what to do, and what output to produce
How would I use this?
You would use an Arden Syntax IDE to write MLMs
You would compile with the IDE, producing Java classes out of MLM code
You would then use an Arden Syntax Rule Engine to execute the compiled MLMs
This rule engine can come by way of an Arden Syntax Server
What are examples of implementations of Arden Syntax?
HEPAXPERT: Checking and interpreting hepatitis A,B, and C serology (meaning studying blood serum) test results, by way of a web interface or an API. They were able to integrate this into several hospital systems, and an expected ipad/iphone app! (Hepaxpert)
THYREXPERT: interprets thyroid test results
TOXOPERT: assist in the interpretation of time sequences of toxoplasmosis serology test results
Moni-ICU: (monitoring of nonsocomial infections in intensive care units): detects and continuously monitors hospital acquired infections
Reminder Applications: reminder applications (in use in some VA hospitals) include reminders for eye exams,vaccinations, and mammograms. A single MLM is associated with each reminder.
The Future? libraries of MLM syntax (akin to the Apple App store) for download and use!

A settlement agreement is a legally binding document in which you accept a payment from your employer in return for giving up your rights to sue it in the Employment Tribunal or Court.
As an employee, under the terms of the agreement you will receive a termination payment, some of which (if not all) will be tax free and you may also be able to agree a reference that can be given to prospective employers. Most settlement agreements include mutual promises of confidentiality and that neither party will disparage each other.
Your employer enjoys the assurance that you will not a bring a claim against it in the future.
What are the advantages of signing a settlement agreement?
It is a legal requirement that you take advice regarding the settlement agreement, in order for it to be legally binding. By taking advice, you will understand the full extent of the legal rights and claims you are giving up, as well as whether the terms are enough to compensate you for losing your job. Sometimes, settlement agreements are not easy to understand and a solicitor will help you navigate the complex legal jargon they often contain.
Why do I need to see a solicitor?
Ideally, as soon as possible and as far in advance of your termination date as you can. A solicitor can help you to achieve the best possible termination package in light of your current employment dispute, and resolve issues about the proposed terms of your settlement agreement.
While some employers are open to negotiating the termination payment being offered and other terms, others may not. Until the settlement agreement is signed, either party can withdraw from the process.
At what stage should I see a solicitor?
Ex-gratia termination packages are tax free up to £30,000. Any payment over this tax threshold is subject to tax and national insurance deductions.
Any payment you are owed based on your employment contract, for example, holiday pay or a bonus, will be subject to your normal rate of tax and national insurance contributions. Payments in lieu of notice (PILON) may be paid tax free, depending on the terms of your employment contract.
How much of my termination payment will be tax-free?
Usually your employer will contribute towards your legal fees when obtaining legal advice on the terms and effects of signing a Settlement Agreement. Commonly, this contribution is around £500 plus VAT.
However, the final cost will depend on the circumstances of your employment dispute and the legal work required.

Walk-over is een uit het Engels afkomstige sportterm en betekent: een overwinning behalen bij gebrek aan tegenstander(s), doordat die niet kwamen opdagen, forfait gaven of werden gediskwalificeerd.

De term is afkomstig uit de paardenrensport. Het reglement van de "Jockey Club" stipuleert dat, wanneer er slechts één paard in een race loopt, dit enkel "over de lijn hoeft te wandelen" (to walk over the line) om te winnen.

De term walk-over gebruikt men bijvoorbeeld in het tennis of badminton wanneer de tegenstander niet opdaagt en men zonder te spelen de partij wint.

"Walk-over" wordt ook in bredere zin gebruikt, om een overwinning aan te duiden die werd behaald zonder dat men zich daarvoor heeft moeten inspannen, omdat de tegenstand veel te zwak was.

Chelsea boss Frank Lampard has revealed the most important thing current Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho taught him during their time together at Stamford Bridge.
Mourinho managed Lampard for five seasons over two separate stints as Blues boss and the two enjoyed great success together, winning two Premier Leagues and one FA Cup.
They developed a close relationship and, ahead of Chelsea's visit to Tottenham, Lampard has reflected on the greatest lesson Mourinho gave him.
"He was the first manager that day-to-day made me feel really close to him and worked on the mental side," Lampard told Chelsea's website . "It was just this confidence that he gave me, which kind of formed a bond with me.

Jose Mourinho's true thoughts on Tottenham's January transfer plans as window looms
"Working with the younger players here now, I think it's my duty to kind of form that bond with them, because they're at the start of their journey, their career and they need to look up to not just myself, but the staff, and know what it takes to get to where they want to be.
"So, I try to form that bond with the players because I love all the young boys here, they're good lads as well as really good players.
Frank Lampard issues £120m transfer demand to Roman Abramovich
"It's just a constant of how you are with them every day and how much you want to work with them at the training ground.
"How much you sometimes want to delve into their personal lives and have a word with them about it, make sure they're okay.
"I think it's all those things, where they feel comfortable in the way they interact with you. I think it is huge."
In return, Mourinho was complimentary of Lampard's start as Chelsea manager, saying: "This season at Chelsea he's having fantastic results, qualified for the next round of the Champions League.
"He's fourth at this moment in a difficult Premier League, so I think he's doing well. He's doing well.
"I'll always be grateful to him for what he gave me as a player. Nothing is going to change that. I love the guy, I will always love the guy. I hope he loses on Sunday."

Matthew Fam is a recipient of the Tina Sergeant Professional Development Initiative in 2016. As part of the initiative, he received a subsidy to attend the SDEA Drama Pedagogy: Essential Teaching and Learning Approaches course at SDEA. He writes his reflections about how he has put what he's learnt into practice in his role as a drama instructor at Bedok View Secondary School.
As an arts practitioner who directs productions for youth theatre festivals and school assembly shows, I found Dr. Prudence Wales' sessions in the Drama as a Critical Pedagogy module especially useful. I believe that the Process Drama activities help students envision the world of the play, encourage them to be emotionally invested in its characters, and give them an opportunity to create.
In this reflection piece, I use my experience facilitating students from Bedok View Secondary's Drama CCA to highlight skills learnt from SDEA's Drama Pedagogy course. I aim to document the five steps of Process Drama in a 90-minute session conducted during December 2016.
The series of Process Drama activities prepare Bedok View's students for the Singapore Youth Festival 2017. For this year's festival entry, we are using "Wounded", a script about bullying in schools. There are 30 students ranging from 14 to 16 years old.
First, I inform students of my role-play as a school counsellor who is working on the case of school bully, Meen. I exit the space and re-enter as the assumed character, before questioning the class of their opinion regarding Meen. By assuming a mask, the distinction between teacher and student is blurred. In this case, the latter group feels less pressure to give "correct" answers. This aids in the ease of sharing one's opinions of the main character. As students become more comfortable in offering their views, it sets the precedent of higher engagement levels throughout the rest of the creation process.
The flurry of opinions segues well into our next activity: Gossip Mill. This time, students curate their stories and opinions according to different groups of people who know Meen. I divide the class into groups, and each one takes on the roles of Meen's teachers, classmates, and family members respectively. Groups are to provide sound bites of the gossip spread by these people. In smaller groups, I realise that students are even more at ease in making up stories of Meen. I notice how the students are quick in generating material, and challenge them with a short improvisation instead.
Next, we select milestones in Meen's life at 7, 12, 14 and 17 years old. Each group chooses a time period to work on, and creates two tableaus depicting important events that happened within that frame. After 10 to 15 minutes of preparation, we sit around the room and watch each group present the tableaus. I ask the students what they think is happening in each tableau, and what each character is probably feeling in the various situations. This put them in the shoes of the main character, Meen, and assists with the understanding of her backstory. This takes the longest of the five steps as students interpret different feelings of Meen, and there is plenty of debate over whether Meen is truly a bully as her schoolmates claim. We discover that while Meen is known to be a bully, she was once bullied herself. I feel that this teaches students the importance of assessing moral situations from various angles, and respecting the differing views of others.
In Step Four, students express their thoughts through a group brainstorm session in Role On The Wall. On large sheets of paper, students draw a silhouette of Meen. Within this outline, they discuss and write down words to describe her attitudes and character traits. Words written outside of this outline describe impression other people have of her. Listing enables students to observe how Meen is just as emotionally wounded as her victims. In all the groups, students agree that Meen is a vulnerable and insecure person who resorts to bullying in order to create a false sense of security for herself.
In our final activity, students write a personal letter as any one of the characters explored during the session. For example, they may choose to write as Meen, or as a bully victim writing to Meen. Students have the choice to share their letter with the class.
It has been two months since my use of Process Drama in Bedok View Secondary. After the session, I realise that the students are more open in offering suggestions and spontaneous in their improvisations. They also posses a good understanding of various character backgrounds, and this improves their performance skills. For example, the student who plays Meen doesn't just play up a stereotype, but considers why one bullies others as a means to hide one's own insecurities. She recites her lines with a balance of contempt and vulnerability.
These exercises have showed me how I can actively involve students in a creative process. Students have greater agency to create, rather than being instructed what to do. I have also learnt the different ways of engaging learning styles though physical activity, writing, or speaking. I hope to continue honing my skills through these lessons learnt and more in the projects ahead.

December is a strange month for publishing -- not quite the end of the year but many annual "best of" lists have already been decided, the big prizes have been given away, and although shoppers may be looking for holiday gifts, they're likely looking at the things that have caught their attention weeks and months ago. All that to say, not a lot of things are published in December and the ones that are really have to fight to get attention. Are December books by nature underdog titles? I'm not sure but here are four that I think deserve a little bit of extra attention.
Marseille Noir by Cédric Fabre (December 1): A recent episode of Anthony Bourdain's CNN travel/food program Parts Unknown paid a visit to Marseille, France and included a feature on mystery author Cédric Fabre. Fabre's noir novels are set in Marseille, but have yet to be translated into English, but this new title from Akashic Books long running series will give you a peek at his writing and that of other authors who have set their stories in the gritty yet beautiful city on the Mediterranean Coast.
Ten Billion Tomorrows: how science fiction technology became reality and shapes the future by Brian Clegg (December 8): As a fiction genre, Science Fiction tends to be very polarizing, with avid fans on side and people who would never dream of picking a title up on the other. I've long heard people talk about Science Fiction's predicted technology and the actual technology that comes to be, now Clegg has written a book on this topic. I think this would should be an interesting read for Science Fiction lovers and haters. "Science fiction is a vital part of popular culture, influencing the way we all look at the world. TV shows like Star Trek and movies from Forbidden Planet to Inception have influenced scientists to enter the profession and have shaped our futures. Science fiction doesn't set out to predict what will happen - it's far more about how human beings react to "What if?..." - but it is fascinating to see how science fiction and reality sometimes converge, sometimes take extraordinarily different paths."
Treacherous Net by Helene Tursten (December 15): The craze for all things Swedish in our crime novels seems to have died down in the last year or two, but there are still a number of Nordic Noir authors who are grabbing readers' attention in the English speaking world and Helene Tursten is one of them. Tursten is better compared to Henning Mankell than Steig Larsson, and she's been called the Swedish PD James. The Treacherous Net is the 8th book in the Irene Huss Investigations series.
Piano Maker by Kurt Palka (December 29): According to his bio, this is the sixth novel from Canadian author Palka, but despite that volume of writing, his is far from a household name. The Piano Maker is "The suspenseful, emotionally resonant, and utterly compelling story of what brings an enigmatic French woman to a small Canadian town in the 1930s, a woman who has found depths of strength in dark times and comes to discover sanctuary at last." This sounds like the type of book that would be good to curl up with by a hot fire on a cold night. If you're intrigued by this one, you might also explore his previous book Patient Number 7 (also called Clara), another historical novel, that one exploring life in Vienna just before World War II.

Leno Zooming up in broadcast business
Jeremy Price
It was almost nine years ago that Dave Leno left Indiana University, degree in hand, not knowing what was next.
Now Leno finds himself in the same position thanks to the coronavirus pandemic.
A rising star in the sports broadcasting world, there are no sports to broadcast and no certainty when there will be.
"The industry is very challenging and now it's an even greater challenge because there are no jobs for broadcasters in sports," Leno said from his home in the Philadelphia suburb of Hatboro, Pa.
"Once the sports industry opens back up, I hope people like me will get our jobs back or have future opportunities."
This time of year is usually the start of Leno's busy season. He is the host of the pregame, halftime and postgame shows for Major League Soccer's Philadelphia Union on local television and is the Union's backup play-by-play guy behind former ESPN and current Fox Sports announcer JP Dellacamera, who is regularly called away for international soccer games.
Leno also does play-by-play for the New York Riptide of the National Lacrosse League on the MSG Network and Bleacher Report Live, as well as working for World Team Tennis, last year with the New York Empire and this year was set to join Billie Jean King and the Philadelphia Freedoms.
"I'm getting hit pretty hard with none of them in the business right now," said Leno, who is a seasonal contract employee with those organizations. "It's tough times, for sure.
"For someone like me, not having those opportunities right now really does hurt. I'm not that the only one that's hurting, it transcends the sports industry, but it takes a toll. It's not a very good situation."
However, part of what has made the 2011 IU grad successful is his effervescence and positivity, and on that front is making the most of his unexpected time off.
Leno's getting the chance to spend some extra time with his wife and their two-month-old baby boy.
"That's time I would never be able to get back, so we're cherishing our moments as a young family together," he said.
He's also brushing up on his broadcast work, becoming his own critic.
"I've been watching my basketball tapes, going through demo reels and highlight clips, seeing what I liked, what I want to improve upon," said Leno, who just completed his eighth year working with ESPN as a freelance play-by-play announcer, mainly on men's and women's college basketball but also on soccer and this past fall his first college football game. "I've been studying up on my prep for future games for if and when we do come back this season. I try to be diligent and do one or two or three things a day related to broadcasting, even if it's just watching the video to see how I can progress in what I do on TV or emceeing or hosting an event with Judy Murray, Andy Murray's mom, and the Freedoms. How do I become a better host on TV rather than play-by-play? That's something I've challenged myself to do every day, as well as spending the majority of the time with my family."
Moreover, Leno has taken it upon himself to go a step further. Last week he hosted his first Zoom video meeting for sports media — writers, broadcasters, podcasters, public relations specialists and anyone else interested in discussing the business during the pandemic, what it might be like after the pandemic and even what it was like before the pandemic.
The idea came after an invitation to join a surprise birthday party via Zoom.
"I thought, 'Oh, this would be a great idea to connect people I know or don't know in the industry who are just curious about what we are all going through,'" Leno said.
The first meeting drew 18 people over the course of more than two hours. The second meeting this past Friday saw more than 50 people in attendance.
"The response has been awesome. We've got kids coming out of college who want to hear from seasoned professionals, what's life like with teenagers, how to maintain a work-life balance," Leno said. "You have guys like me who are young, up and comers in the industry. The response has been great and varied.
"I wanted people from all backgrounds. Anyone who has an interest in how the pandemic is affecting society. A lot of the first call was just about how are you doing and what are you doing with your time and how's your family. Many people are thankful to have a platform to talk. A lot of these sportscasters are by themselves and thought it was a great way to connect. Nobody's making any money on it, just a forum to come together and chat."
It has turned out to be a sort of online therapy session for all.
"Not that it's any more comforting that people we don't know are going through this with the unemployment rate soaring, but it shows you're not the only one sitting at home and staring at four walls, wondering what happened and if this can be erased at a snap of the fingers," Leno said. "That's why I think it's important to connect people. Be creative and help each other, not just in the present, but in the future. Networking with people, knowing there will be chances for everyone."
The future is certainly a hot topic, be it from an economic or health standpoint. The questions in these meetings come fast and furious.
"How is all this going to change the sports landscape, not just for us professionally or for college and high school sports, but in society and how people interact with one another?" Leno said. "Will there be more jobs? Will there be less jobs because they are done remotely with restrictions on the amount of media that can come into the press box to maintain social distancing? Will they let fans back in?
"If I'm with the Union and they decide to play all their games in a specific state (outside of Pennsylvania) that can handle a large gathering, what does that mean for somebody like me? These are the topics we are discussing. Nobody really knows, and we're all coming together, realizing that the executives in the business who have the power when this comes back, they don't know at this point.
"It's a guessing game, but on the Zoom calls, we're going over potential scenarios, whether there will be a lot of work, it will be the same and just pick up where we left off, or if there will be more layoffs and we have to come up with other ways to do what we love to do."
In the process, Leno is reminded that it's not only broadcasters who are feeling the impact of the sports void, but producers, directors, camera operators, equipment managers and countless others.
"We just need to be checking up on friends and colleagues in the business, seeing how they're doing and getting their thoughts," he said. "… We all mainly just need a very upbeat, positive forum and are all grateful that a lot of us in a similar position in the business can come together and connect."
Leno, who is also a regular broadcaster for USA Field Hockey and has worked the U.S. Open tennis tournament as well, remains optimistic he will emerge from the pandemic with a career still intact thanks to his versatility, which was honed during his time at Indiana.
He was the play-by-play voice of volleyball and softball at IU, worked a number of men's soccer and women's basketball games and most anything else that would fit on the resume, getting his first national television job calling Indiana-Ohio State field hockey on the Big Ten Network.
"Indiana really jumpstarted my career and gave me reps and experiences to pursue my dreams," Leno said. "I owe a great deal to the folks at IU.
"I didn't land a fulltime job out of school despite all the sleepless nights and lugging equipment from WIUX over to Armstrong Stadium. It was more challenging than I could've envisioned, but I tell people to start small, don't worry about the sport you want to call. A lot of kids want to do football or basketball, but I took pride in the Olympic sports because that was where the opportunity was. As a result, I've climbed the ranks with ESPN and other sports have followed, so I take pride in my versatility because that sharpens my game-calling across all platforms."
Now he can add Zoom conference calls to the list.
"I hope one or two folks can inspire each other," Leno said. "It's part forecasting what's to come, part what we're going through now, but it's also motivation for them and to keep everybody passionate and resilient, so we can all bounce back."

Trinkets Season 2 Review: What Did Luca Do to Tabitha in Trinkets?
By Akriti Painuly January 25, 2023 No Comments3 Mins Read
Trinkets Season 2 review
The trouble with teen dramas is that there are so many of them available. From Riverdale and Sabrina to Euphoria, Glee, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, every option has been thoroughly explored and rehashed a million times. Last year's Trinkets is a prime example of a vanilla-flavored teen drama that did nothing to distinguish itself.
For its second and final season, Trinkets returns with 10 episodes that alter the rules of the game. This time around, with less humor, Trinkets doubles down on its melodrama. The upshot is something that feels a bit more serious and introspective, but once again fails to carve off a distinct portion of the teen-drama pie.
The plot resumes shortly after the conclusion of the first season. Elodie is on the road with Sabine when she realizes she has made a grave error. Instead, she chooses to return home. After reuniting with the girls, Elodie's parents imposed a tight regimen on her in an effort to prevent her from developing undesirable habits. This regime takes her to the school band, where she presumably develops romantic feelings.
In the meantime, Brady accepts responsibility for the sunk automobile, which immediately raises red flags given how kind he is to Tabitha.
Moe begins to engage in thrill-seeking theft sprees and has her own marital issues. Chase, Moe's new Robotics Club friend, kisses her while she and Noah are struggling, which is photographed and causes a lot of trouble.
All of this culminates in a final episode in which the character arcs are fulfilled and our protagonists prepare for the future. There is a lot of chaotic, melodramatic content, but nothing that truly pushes the envelope.
Undoubtedly, the concert will attract a crowd, and fans will be in their element. The second season accentuates the faults that were apparent in the first season. This is another meaningless coming-of-age teen drama. Like a well-rehearsed speech filled with cliches, the presentation is excellent, but it lacks the uniqueness and flair to truly stand out.

Mayor of Kingstown Season 2 Review: What is the Gist of the Mayor of Kingstown?
While there is nothing inherently horrible or terrible about this show, there is also nothing inherently good or noteworthy. The ten episodes provide a delightful ride, and the climax of this story makes the voyage worthwhile. However, it is a course you are unlikely to repeat in the near future.
is It Worthwhile to Watch Trinkets?
The script and acting are excellent. It seems quite "believable. It's been a while since I've watched a show about teenagers with characters who feel and act like ordinary adolescents.
Does Trinkets 3 Have a Release Date?
We need not witness their college departure and separation." While we won't be seeing them in a subsequent season, we can be assured that our favorite bunch of pals will remain BFFs long after the program has ended.
In Trinkets, What Did Luca Do to Tabitha?
In season two, Luca stole Tabitha's credit card number and racked up over $19,678 on her father's credit card before ghosting her and moving. He is deceitful and frequently uses the term "I'm broken" when arguing.

Q: CSS space before selector I was struggling to understand why this simple CSS class selector was not being picked by my HTML element.
.label-hi :before {
    color:green;
    content: "Hi ! ";
}

A: The space between simple selectors is a descendant combinator in CSS. If it were two ordinary selectors separated with space, it would mean 'element matching the second selector, placed anywhere inside the element matching the first selector'. Since the second selector is a pseudo element, the whole selector is equivalent to .label-hi *:before, potentially inserting something into any element inside the element with class label-hi.

A: So I realized that for this specific selectors I cannot have any space between the class name and the : This means that removing the empty space my CSS class is picked :
.label-hi:before {
    color:green;
    content: "Hi ! ";
}

In regular classes that space does not make any difference.

Home Entertainment Superman Star Brandon Routh Aboard Plane Mayhem In "Lost In The Pacific"
Superman Star Brandon Routh Aboard Plane Mayhem In "Lost In The Pacific"
The high-flying and non-stop thrilling action movie "Lost in the Pacific" starring Superman's Brandon Routh aboard on the maiden flight of a giant, luxury aircraft called The Titanic in the Sky. Unfortunately, just like its historical ocean counterpart, the plane hits an abandoned aircraft carrier on its first voyage and its pilot, played by Chinese actress Zhang Yuqi, must try to land on an island in the middle of the Pacific.
Directed by Vincent Zhou, "Lost in the Pacific" is China's first sci-fi action in English language and boasts of an impressive production crew including visual effects supervisor Bruce Jones ("The Italian Job," "Star Trek"), art director Ian Bailie ("Atonement," "Pride and Prejudice") and Stareast Digital Lab and Venture 3D and Scott Winig serves as director of photography. It was clear that the Chinese production pulled out all the stops with international actors that also includes Oscar nominees Kami Asgar and Sean McCormack for the sound editing, and Academy Award winner Mark Paterson for the final sound mixing of the movie.
"Lost in the Pacific" is a futuristic riveting sci-fi thriller following a group of passengers stranded on a remote island in the Pacific Ocean after their luxury airliner makes an emergency landing. To make matters worse, as they try their best to survive and figure out a way to get the plane back in the air, they soon learn the island has been overrun with strange mutated creatures that take passengers off, one by one. Once in the air again, the two surviving military personnel set course for a secret military base. Little do they know, they've taken a sinister stowaway along for the ride. Routh plays a mysterious chef of the plane where Zhang Yuqi takes on the seat of the plane's pilot. Zhang Yuqi, was recently voted "the most beautiful Asian face and has earned her fame in the world of cinema for her roles in the Chinese box office hits "A Hope (CJ7)" and "White Deer Plain."
Director Zhou enthused that "We are excited to be working with Arclight Films on the recent launch of "Lost in the Pacific." Huace film studio will be our main domestic distributor in China, and it will be the first Chinese movie to be distributed by its own distribution department. Huace is the second largest public company in the entertainment industry in China and has been developing a successful model for distribution and looks forward to the film's release later this year."
"With complex character relationships, dark, mysterious creatures all in groundbreaking 3D with top-of-the-line visual effects and a celebrated team both in front of and behind the camera, the film has all the makings of a worldwide box office hit," said Ying Ye of Arclight Films, the company representing worldwide rights on "Lost in the Pacific" outside of China. Ye is also an executive producer on the film.
"I am thrilled to be working with such an amazingly talented cast and the exceptional team behind-the-scenes on Lost in the Pacific," said Zhou. "We will bring an adventure of monumental proportions to audiences all over the world that will keep them on the edge of their seats until the very end, and even after they leave the theatre. A film like Lost in the Pacific has all the makings of an international success story on a global scale. Buyers from all territories see enormous potential in Lost in the Pacific."
"Lost in the Pacific" opens March 16 in cinemas from Pioneer Films.

Nogah Hareuveni
Empty Fruit
"Cursed (Arur) is the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his strength, whose heart turns away from the Lord. He will be like a bush (arar) in the desert, and will not see when prosperity comes, but will live in stony wastes in the wilderness, a land of salt without inhabitant.
But blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in Him. For he will be like a tree planted by the water, that extends its roots by a stream. It will not fear when the heat comes, but its leaves will be green, and it will not be anxious in a year of drought, nor cease to yield fruit." Jeremiah 17:5-7
After reading this proverb about the cursed tree and the blessed tree, it is easy to imagine what the blessed tree must look like — thick green leaves; branches covered in large, luscious fruit; abundant growth even when everything is dry all around. The tree pictured here looks like such a tree.
But the remarkable thing about this beautiful tree is that it is actually the cursed tree that Jeremiah spoke about in this proverb. According to Nogah Hareuveni, an expert on plants of the Bible, in Hebrew the name of this tree is called the Arar, which sounds similar to the word for cursed (arur) and is part of a wordplay which is central to this poem.
Why is it called "cursed"? Because if a thirsty, hot traveler approaches the tree and picks a nice big fruit, he will find a nasty surprise. When opened, the fruit makes a "pssst" sound, and is hollow and filled with webs and dust and a dry pit. The Bedouin call this tree the "Cursed Lemon" or "Sodom Apple" because it grows in the desert salt lands that surround the Dead Sea where Sodom and Gomorrah once were. According to their legends, when God destroyed Sodom, he cursed the fruit of this tree also.
Interestingly, the cursed tree looks very healthy and abundant, as if it has a survived even in hard times and still has done well in life. Like the tree, many people who rely on their own strength really persevere enough so that they seem to "have it all."
But we will not be judged on our "tallness" (fame, notariety) or our "leafy-ness" (material success), but on the fruit of our lives. Jesus tells us that rocks and weeds in our life can prevent us from bearing fruit. But it seems that even if we seem to be bearing fruit, there is a danger that it might be quite empty.
What really is wrong with the tree? Essentially, the big problem is that the fruit has no juice. The tree is supposed to absorb life-giving water from the soil and pass it on to others through its fruit, but something is not happening. It is as if the tree has cut itself off from the source of living water by relying on its own strength.
In some sense, the juice is the maim chaim (living water) of the Holy Spirit, which Jesus says will pour out of the one who believes in him (John 7:38). The "juice" comes having a life that is filled with the refreshing presence of the Lord, and without that, our lives are empty and hollow.
