Boerner Manuscript (Codex Boernerianus)
Boerner Manuscript (Codex Boernerianus), an important uncial MS. of the Greek Test., containing (with some lacunea) Paul's epistles (of which it is generally designated as cod. G), with an interlinear Latin version. It belonged to Paul Junius, of Leyden, at whose death (1670) it became the property of Peter Francius, professor at Amsterdam; at the sale of his books in 1705, it was bought at a high price by C. F. Boerner, professor at Leipzig, from whom it takes its name. He lent it in'1719 to Bentley, who kept it for five years, endeavoring in vain to purchase it. It is now deposited in the library of the king of Saxony at Dresden. Rettig has proved that, as it is same size and style with the Codex Sangallensis (Δ of the Gospels), the two once formed one volume together, being probably written toward the end of the ninth century in the monastery of St. Gall by some of the Irish monks who flocked thither, one of whom has left a curious Celtic epigram on one of the leaves. SEE GALL (ST.) MANUSCRIPT. Scrivener has likewise shown its remarkable affinity with the Codex Augiensis (F of the Pauline Epistles), implying that they were both copied from the same venerable archetype, as they either supply each other's defects, or fail at the same passages. Kuster first published readings from it in his reprint of Mill's Gr. Test. Among Bentley's papers has been found a transcription of the whole of it, but not in his own handwriting. It was very accurately published in full by Matthaei in 1791, in common type, with two facsimile pages. Anger, Tischendorf, Tregelles, Bottiger, and Scrivener have since carefully collated it. It betrays certain marks of having been copied with a polemical view, but, in connection with the two MSS. named above, it forms a valuable aid to textual criticism.- Tregelles, in Horne's Introd. 4:199; Scrivener, Introd. p. 135 sq.

EDIT : Evgeny Lensky has updated the page, and it's working now. Thx a lot.
Ok so, I tried again.
But google says it's pretty common, so I go on.
I've some skipped <pstage\lib>libboost_system-vc151-mt-s-1_68.lib for lack of <pbin.v2\libs\system\build\badf2a7c2adcaef3b3bd2286eed781aa>libboost_system-vc151-mt-s-1_68.lib... along the way.

But, ok, I go on.
Then, all is alright, until I try to adapt the path in conf.pri.windows. Since I used boost 1.68 , my guess is libboost_system-vc140-mt-sgd-1_64.lib is not right, and I should put the name of the file I should find in C:\qbittorrent\boost_1_68_0\stage\lib at this stage right ? Should look like libboost_system-vc151-xxx1_68.lib or something. Well, my C:\qbittorrent\boost_1_68_0\stage\lib is empty, like boost never builds correctly.
13:12:34: Le processus "C:\Qt\qtcreator-4.3.1\bin\jom.exe" s'est terminé avec le code 2.
The kit Qt5 msvc2017 x64 has configuration issues which might be the root cause for this problem.
Since the builds are compiled with MSVC 2017, is it possible to update this page please ?
I follow this guide, and some stuff doesn't work anymore with the new versions. I don't have a list of error (way to many...) but in the end you always have errors with this "wiki" in qt creator, and the problem seems to lie into the qt version you build during all the process (no surprise here).
I give up. I've already spent 15+ hrs trying to compile this thing. I thought all was going well until I get to actually compiling with Qt Creator & I get tons and tons of errors. The tutorial is not written very friendly whatsoever. I've compiled plenty of other projects perfectly fine so following directions isn't the problem. It's a poorly written guide and needs to be redone.
Edit: Mainly I feel what needs to be done is listing what additional modules need to be installed during the MSVC 2017 x64 setup. The guide states "The MSVC 2017 compiler. The Community Edition(free) will do fine.", but does not make any mention of the additional boxes that need to be checked during setup to ensure everything will work properly. The default installation will NOT work.
Secondly, the guide states "latest version of openssl", which if a user does in fact use the latest version (1.1.x), it will result in an error due to starting with 1.1.0 there are no more ms\do_*.bat files. The latest 1.0.2 version needs to be used.
Select the Build & Run item from the left and select the Qt Versions tab.
But there is no Qt Versions tab under Build & Run, hense also no "Add" button there to click on.
There may have been other changes as well, but I can't remember for sure. The entire section could be re-written with more precise steps inb correlation to the changed layout/tabs in 4.7.0.
Lastly, the Compiling qBittorrent section needs some fixes as well. "If you are compiling qBittorrent v3_3_x branch, open the winconf.pri file and adjust the paths. If v4_0_x branch is used, open conf.pri.windows, save it as conf.pri and adjust the paths."
"If you are compiling v4_0_x branch against libtorrent 1.0.x, uncomment the following line in conf.pri"
No changes needed for 1.1.x?
1.0.2k if you want the wiki version.
For the Microsoft 2017 VS, using the defaut setup when you choose desktop c++ application (something like that) is enough.
For the Qt creator version, use 4.3.1 and you will find the options back where they are.
For the last part, use conf.pri.windows (then rename it like it says on the wiki). The commented / uncommented BOOST lines are already good with the 4.1.x source version.
thing, so the filenames are ok.
I compiled 2 versions in 16 hours (one with O1 flags like in the wiki, another with O2) both are working fine.
an F is missing, should be logging=off with "of", it won't compile correctly so the other steps will fail at one point . You can add crypto=openssl too, to force the use of openssl instead of the buildin one.
The guide should be edited to reflect everything in the last couple of posts.
Well, Everyone here is quite advanced with qB and generally. I've been using qB for a while now. I learned early on to 'not' upgrade. I just had too much trouble, for whatever reason (which others could have guessed perhaps) and found that if the program was working, Why did I need the grief?
I just got a new laptop and I'm having a harder time than I've ever had with qB. I watched a dozen YouTube vids, most which were unwatchable. Nothing here clues me in. One YouTube vid I watched showed how to simply click on search via view and it would automatically download python, which I'm missing. It worked great for him. I just got a msg saying that my python version is unknown. But if I don't have it, Isn't that a meaningless statement? At this point, I'm going to either get an answer from someone here that I can understand or just try downloading another qB because I'm certainly never going to use utorrent again.
Sorry to be whiney. Thanks in advance.
ASUS VivoBook, windows 10, 64 bit.
Here is qBittorrent 4.1.3 built with MSVC 2017.
Here is qBittorrent 4.1.4 built with MSVC 2017.
Here is qBittorrent 4.1.5 built with MSVC 2017.
Any reason why X64 4.1.5 wasn't compiled with libraries QT 5.12 & BOOST 1.69?
MERRY XMAS!! Great work by the way.
Qt 5.12 causes qbt to randomly crash during exit for me.
Boost 1.69 doesn't offer something substantial over 1.68 for our use cases.
Yeap, sorry for my first dumb post, I know that QB was not 1.2 ready yet, but I screwed up my libtorrent source donwload. 100% my fault.
1.2 seems to change a lot of things, any ETA about an 1.2 QB version ? Thx.
Seeing Github milestones there will be a v4.1.6 release if needed but v4.2.0 is being worked on also. No ETA at this moment.

These authors contributed equally to this work.
Endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) is well-established as the mainstay of surgical treatment for refractory chronic rhinosinusitis. It is a minimally invasive and mucosa-preserving procedure with little patient morbidity. However, serious ophthalmological complications have been reported, such as orbital hemorrhage, blindness, and extraocular muscle injuries.[1],[2],[3] Oculomotor nerve palsy is extremely rare after ESS, and transient oculomotor nerve palsies after ESS have never been reported. We recently experienced an unusual case of transient oculomotor nerve palsy following ESS for nasal polyposis, thus herein report the case.
A 45-year-old woman underwent bilateral ESS for nasal polyposis. The patient complained of vertical diplopia after ESS. At initial presentation, her best-corrected visual acuities were 20/20 in both eyes (oculus utro [OU]). The anterior segment and media were normal, and funduscopic examination showed normal optic disc and macula OU. There was no relative afferent pupillary defect. Ophthalmological examination revealed evidence of the right oculomotor nerve palsy, with ptosis, limited adduction, supradduction and infradduction [Figure 1]. A postoperative computed tomography scan showed a dehiscence of the right lamina papyracea, adjacent to the posterior ethmoid sinus, with a protrusion of soft tissue [Figure 2]. The patient received systemic dexamethasone (30 mg/day for 2 weeks) for the treatment of her symptoms. Two weeks postoperatively, the ptosis of the right upper lid had completely recovered. She had regained full right ocular motility, with no diplopia [Figure 3].
Figure 1: Ptosis and limitation of elevation, depression, and adduction of the right eye consistent with oculomotor nerve palsy
Figure 2: Axial computed tomography scan of the orbit after endoscopic sinus surgery, showing a dehiscence of lamina papyracea adjacent to the posterior ethmoid sinus
Figure 3: Full recovery of eye movement and ptosis after 2 weeks of dexamethasone treatment
The transient nature of our patient's oculomotor nerve palsy is curious. We postulate that the mechanism of oculomotor nerve palsy was focal contusion of the oculomotor nerve by blunt trauma that occurred while performing ethmoidotomy by force. Alternatively, ischemic nerve injury, due to disruption of the nerve's blood supply, may have been caused by the protrusion of soft tissue or the expanding packing in the ethmoid cavity. Extravasation of local anesthetic into the orbit from the sphenopalatine injection can result in transient mydriasis, ophthalmoplegia, and vision loss; however, this is unlikely to have occurred in our patient.
Oculomotor nerve palsy after ESS is a rare but significant complication. Our patient's spontaneous recovery indicates that an initial conservative approach may be appropriate in the absence of fat or muscle entrapment. Surgeons performing ESS must keep in mind the possibility of oculomotor nerve palsy due to blunt trauma, and must perform the whole procedure with great care, especially when operating close to the sphenoid and posterior ethmoid sinus.

Andrea Zopp, president and CEO of the Chicago Urban League, is stepping down to run for Mark Kirk's U.S. Senate seat.
"I have decided to launch a campaign for United States Senate," she said in a letter to supporters. Her departure is effective May 31.
The job "has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life," she wrote. "While it is difficult to say goodbye to the Urban League, I know it will remain fearless in its efforts to empower those who have been disenfranchised and accountable to you, our generous donors."
Shari Runner, the league's senior vice president for strategy and community development, will take over as interim president and CEO starting June 1.
Zopp joins U.S. Rep. Tammy Duckworth among Democrats hoping to unseat Kirk, a Republican.
Zopp has been at the Urban League for five years. During that time, she has addressed economic development issues, especially as small businesses tried to recover from the recession. The Urban League helped create hundreds of jobs and secured millions of dollars in contracts to help businesses, she said of her tenure. Before her work with the league, she worked in general counsel roles for Exelon, Sears and Sara Lee.
Joseph Gregoire, chairman of the Chicago Urban League board of directors, praised Zopp, saying she "ushered in a new era of excellence for the Chicago Urban League and led the transformation of the organization into a leading voice on issues impacting African-Americans and the city of Chicago. Under her dynamic leadership, our advocacy has expanded, our programs have become stronger and our financial house is in order. We thank Andrea for her tremendous leadership and wish her well in her future endeavors."
In recent years, Zopp has been in the news for her volunteer work on the Chicago Board of Education at a time when dozens of schools were closed.

Week 4 of Last Dance on the Beach CAL is designed by Atty. She has a fun and relaxed style about her designs that I really like. Her design with the high waves is one of my favorites for this CAL.
With her design Atty looks back on her walk with Wink and her design for Last Dance on the Beach. When I look at the square Atty designed, I see a rough sea with high waves, the beginning of a perfect storm. Like I said, I really like this design and I couldn't help but go all out on my color placement this week.
I am playing with color placement in my Merino Soft Dancing in the Sea kit, for my Color Crafter Dancing in the Sea blanket I am using the colors specified in the pattern. I have made the waves such that they are on a different background color. This means that I change colors at row 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24. I made squares using one, two and three colors using 4.5mm hook for my Merino Soft squares and a 4.0mm hook for my Color Crafter squares. This is the same hook I used for my gauge swatch.
These are the colors that I used from my Merino Soft Dancing in the Sea kit and arranged according to the photograph above from left to right.
A note on the squares of this week, I noticed that they tend to pull a bit to one side. I managed to reduce this during blocking but it is still a bit visible. I expect that when the blanket if finished you won't notice it at all, so don't worry about it if it happens to you too.
All videos for Last Dance on the Beach are available through my YouTube channel and on my blog grouped on two this dedicated video pages, English and Dutch. These pages will be updates as new tutorials become available.
I have a video available in English and Dutch. Please note that I use UK crochet terms in the English video. If you are more familiar with US terms, this conversion chart will help you with the most common terms.
For those of you that are left handed I have the video for week 4 available in English and Dutch. There are also available on the English and Dutch video pages. Again, please note that the English videos use UK crochet terminology.
If you still want to join the CAL, there are kits available in two yarns and in three color ways. You can choose a base kit with Color Crafter yarn or a luxury kit with Merino Soft yarn. The three color ways are Dance in the Sea, Dance in the Rain and Dancing under the stars. Both kits have yarn and a special edition label to add to your afghan. If you choose for the luxury kit you will also get lots of other goodies. And maybe the best part of this project is that 2 euro of each kit sold goes to a charity aimed at helping people with mental health difficulties. Kits are available from Paradise Fibers (USA/CA), Wool Warehouse (UK/International), Deramores (UK/International), or your local Scheepjes stockist.
To join the CAL, please join the International (English speaking) or Dutch (Nederlands) Facebook groups. You can post all your photo's of your squares here and there are lots of people to help you if you get stuck somewhere. The patterns will be posted each week in the Facebook groups and on the Scheepjes website.
I hope to see you next week for part 5.


Sadly, we have become a nation of the offended. Do I support the KKK or Neo Nazis?No! Do I support the Black Panthers or Black Lives Matter movement? No! They all teach separation & that is only repeating history. You can't erase history by removing some statues, but you can repeat its mistakes. Do I agree with the beliefs of Robert E. Lee? No! Do I agree with the beliefs of Malcom X? No! Does it affect me in any way that they both have statues here in the United States? No! Stop being offended by every little thing. Stop supporting racism on one side or the other. Stop doing anything that supports segregation. Stop the hate!
Love & understanding are the answer.
It's not my job to necessarily change people's views, but to live the way I feel is right & good in God's eyes. If by example I change their views, then awesome. To clarify, I could care less the color of someone's skin or their race. I care about their character & how they treat others. I'm gonna love them regardless.
We have to stop viewing each other differently.
Have a love filled life my friends!!!

Why you should be a socialist
Posted by: Socialist Party May 1, 2018
By Cillian Gillespie
How can five of the richest people on the planet have as much wealth as the poorest 3.5 billion? Why did 82% of the wealth created last year go to the top 1%? In Ireland, supposedly the fastest growing economy in Europe, why are 10,000 people homeless?
Wealth inequality, imperialist war, economic exploitation, a homelessness tsunami and multiform oppressions are radicalising many at home and around the globe. These grave problems facing workers, poor and young people are problems that are fundamentally systemic in nature. They are not a series of accidental issues divorced from one another. Ultimately, they must be seen as part and parcel of the capitalist system we live under.
Profiteering from housing
Let's start with housing in Ireland. There's no reason why homelessness should be skyrocketing on our streets, but it is, becuase housing provision is based on maximising profits for developers not on building homes for people who need them. Last September, it was reported that Cairn Homes, a major property firm, owned 20% of the zoned land in Dublin, where it is estimated that 12,000 houses could be built. However, in the first six months of 2017 a pitiful 94 houses were built. Why? Put simply: it wasn't profitable to do so. It was better to wait for the price of land and houses to rise and churn out more profit for Cairn Homes.
Unaffordable housing is a problem blighting every major city in the capitalist world, not just in Ireland. It is indicative how the system is structurally incapable of meeting a basic human necessity, notwithstanding the ample resources at its disposal. It's no wonder, then, that we also have unaffordable childcare and a two-tier and chronically underfunded health system that leads to record numbers sitting on trolleys each year.
Governments in Ireland, Europe and across our planet are hopelessly committed not only to supporting the system of capitalism, but particularly its neo-liberal variant, that has emerged over the last number of decades. It is for this reason that the Irish government refuses to build social and affordable homes, while it gives major sweetheart tax deals to multinationals like Apple. Neo-liberal capitalism is about transferring wealth from the working class (those who make up the majority in society: workers, the unemployed, pensioners etc.) to the capitalist class (the super-rich, the billionaires and corporate CEOs that run our society).
This transfer of wealth takes two forms, attacking rights and conditions in our workplaces through zero hour contracts and wage suppression. It is also means drastically cutting back on social expenditure so that countries like Ireland can become tax havens for big business. If you want to get an idea of the ruthlessness of capitalism today, just read the following report on the conditions faced by Amazon workers as reported in the British newspaper The Observer (16 April, 2018):
"Workers reportedly have to process a package every nine seconds from 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Those who struggle to keep up with the 300-item-an-hour workload sometimes suffer panic attacks that require hospitalization"
One investigator found that workers:
"lived in fear of being ¬disciplined over 'idle time' and ¬losing their jobs just because they needed the loo."
Economic exploitation
By people to the bone in a low-wage regime (earning less than $30,000 per annum in the US – with many forced to rely on foodstamps), Jeff Bezos, the owner of Amazon, has managed to become the richest person in the world. This is capitalism in the 21st Century and as a system of economic exploitation it doesn't differ much from the system of capitalism that existed when Karl Marx was alive 140 years ago.
Capitalism breeds inequality and fosters division. It creates a culture that allows disgusting prejudices such as racism, sexism, homophobia and transphobia to grow. If we want to end these evils, this system must be challenged and overthrown on a global scale.
The need to organise
Workers, the poor, young people, women, LGBTQ people and all the oppressed have a common enemy and we have the power to defeat it. But we must organise, because the billionaire class that rules our society is highly organised through its ownership and control of the wealth of society, and the modern state and mass media, which defend and propagate its class interests.
The Socialist Party and the Committee for a Workers' International, the international socialist organisation to which we are affiliated, and which organises socialist groups in over 40 countries, on every continent, is committed to organising to defeat capitalism. From this we can build a truly democratic society, where each individual can develop to their full potential, based on solidarity and mutual respect, not division and prejudice.

Abortion is leading cause of death worldwide for third year in a row
CP Politics | Wednesday, January 05, 2022
By Ryan Foley, Christian Post Reporter | Wednesday, January 05, 2022

For the second year in a row, abortions have been the leading cause of death worldwide, with more than three times as many people losing their lives to abortion than the second leading cause of death.
Worldometer, a database that keeps track of statistics on health, the global population and other metrics in real time, determines the number of abortions performed worldwide based on data obtained from the World Health Organization. The last available snapshot of the Worldometer, as it appeared on New Year's Eve, captured by the internet archive tool The Wayback Machine, revealed that approximately 42.6 million abortions were performed worldwide in 2021.
By contrast, only 13 million people perished of communicable diseases, the second-leading cause of death last year. The other leading causes of death paled in comparison to abortion, with 8.2 million people dying of cancer worldwide, nearly 5 million deaths caused by smoking, approximately 2.5 million alcohol-related deaths, nearly 1.7 million people succumbing to HIV/AIDS, more than 1.3 million people dying in traffic accidents, and nearly 1.1 million suicides worldwide.
Additionally, water-related diseases caused approximately 850,000 deaths, the seasonal flu killed nearly half a million people, nearly 400,000 perished because of malaria, and over 300,000 mothers lost their lives during childbirth last year. A separate set of coronavirus statistics also compiled by Worldometer revealed that 3,524,139 people died with complications from COVID-19 in 2021.
Approximately 58.7 million people died in 2021. That figure does not include those who died from abortion. If abortion as a cause of death was included, the number of deaths last year would have surpassed 100 million.
2021 is not the first year that abortions were the leading cause of death worldwide. Data from the Worldometer obtained by the Wayback Machine on New Year's Eve 2020 revealed that more than 42.6 million abortions were performed that year. Once again, the number of abortions was three times the number of people who died of communicable diseases.
In 2019, Worldometer found that 42.4 million abortions occurred. As of Tuesday afternoon, just four days into 2022, more than 400,000 abortions had been carried out worldwide.
In addition to its status as the leading cause of death globally, abortion is also the leading cause of death in the United States. The Guttmacher Institute, an abortion advocacy group, reported that 862,320 abortions were performed in the U.S. in 2017.
That same year, data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that the leading cause of death in the U.S. besides abortion, heart disease, took the lives of 647,457 people. The total number of deaths in the U.S. in 2017, not including abortions, was 2,813,503. Including abortions increases the number of deaths to nearly 3.7 million.
In 2019, the CDC reported that 625,346 abortions were carried out in the U.S. However, that statistic only includes data from 47 of the 50 states and New York City. Additionally, the number of abortions reported did not include data from California, the nation's most populous state.
The latest data about abortion comes as the issue has emerged front and center in American politics because of the U.S. Supreme Court's upcoming ruling in the case of Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health.
In the Dobbs case, the justices will decide whether Mississippi's 15-week abortion ban violates the U.S. Constitution. A ruling in favor of the state of Mississippi, which is seeking to uphold the ban, would significantly weaken the precedent set by Roe v. Wade, the 1973 Supreme Court decision determining that women have the right to an abortion.
In addition to the new developments surrounding the ongoing litigation over the Mississippi law, as well as a Texas law that bans abortions after a baby's heartbeat can be detected, usually at around six weeks gestation, a multitude of pro-life laws passed at the state level in 2021.
The Guttmacher Institute published multiple reports expressing concern about the pro-life trend across the states, concluding with a year-end report describing 2021 as "the worst year for abortion rights in almost half a century."

Film has always been a passion of mine, and in now-traditional fashion I'd like to present the 15 best films of the year, in my humble opinion. First, a couple of disclaimers. Although I make an effort to see most of the movies which I think have a chance of making this list, I can't see every movie. So, it's certainly possible that a couple of films slipped through the cracks and deserve to be on this list, but aren't. If you think something deserves to be here, please tell me!
Next, this list will be subject to change. I've been known to expand it to the top 20 films, and I reserve the right to edit this list frequently as I see the movies a second time, or just have second thoughts.
Now, the list.
If you click the links, you can view the film trailers…
15. Let the Right One In (Låt den Rätte Komma In)
An entirely original take on the vampire/horror genre, this genre-bending Swedish film (a Swedish vampire movie?) is an isolationist coming-of-age story with loads more heart than creepiness and gore. Definitely worth seeing even if you're not usually a fan of vampires.
14. Wendy and Lucy
There's nothing minimal about this minimalist film– filmed locally right here in Oregon. Its extremely low budget gave this film some real limits, but its subtle tones and implicit emotional underpinnings make this lonely character study particularly poignant for our economic times.
13. Happy-Go-Lucky
Mike Leigh, usually known for his cynicism, makes his commentary on optimism here. Loaded with irony and tongue-in-cheek looks at its ceaselessly cheerful (and terribly annoying) main character, Poppy, this film is ultimately about how far she'll go to maintain that optimism. The film's real magic comes out during Poppy's interactions with her driving instructor, Scott, who offers the biggest challenge to her optimism– and ultimately brings out the worst in her cheer.
12. In Bruges
Clever, witty, entertaining– I was surprised by how tightly well written this script was. As a cynical comedy, it was bested this year by only 'Burn After Reading'.
11. Milk
Sean Penn is brilliant in his portrayal of Harvey Milk in this true story of the first openly gay man elected to public office, a Gus Van Sant film. This movie isn't breaking any new ground as a film, but it's a well-acted and an inspirational tribute, not just to Milk, but to the power of political will and activism.
10. Frost/Nixon
Ron Howard directed, this film is best as a character study of Richard Nixon, played brilliantly by Frank Langella. Frost's story is mostly a banal backdrop to Nixon's personal and intellectual motivations. Nixon is portrayed as an intellectual mastermind, though deeply troubled and disconnected. Don't be mistaken, this is a character study before it is a political commentary, but it's difficult to avoid making comparisons to current political environments.
9. Vicky Cristina Barcelona
Perhaps more a criticism of passion than an endorsement for it, this Woody Allen film is endlessly witty and cleverly woven together. This is easily the most gripping film from Allen in the last decade, and I'm definitely digging the Johansson/Allen match– a chemistry which was missing in the horrible 'Match Point'. These Allen-designed characters, always biting, complex and explicit, have the potential to bring out the best in actresses, and the best performance here comes unexpectedly from Penelope Cruz.
8. The Visitor
Richard Jenkins is stellar in this role, of a bored and uninspired old professor, who discovers himself again when he becomes open to seeing life anew through the eyes of others. A touching, relatable film that at times alludes to larger, cultural commentary without losing its heart as a simple character story.
7. Frozen River
A gripping, real film which subtly touches on struggles at so many different levels, whether institutional, cross-cultural, racial, educational, economic, familial or personal. A wonderful performance from Melissa Leo here caps off one of the better scripts of the year.
6. Burn After Reading
The Cohen Brothers do it again, this time more playfully than in last year's 'No Country for Old Men', but equally as poignant and entertaining. This is easily the best assembled cast of the year– an intricate cultural commentary, alight with confusion, stupidity and conflict which ultimately results in a shallow, simple woman getting a boob job to help inspire her self-esteem. Brilliant.
5. Synecdoche, New York
If I had to pick one movie from last year ahead of time as my favorite to be the best of the year, it was this one. As many know, I'm a huge, huge, huge Charlie Kaufman fan and I've been waiting for this film for around 4 years. While it was brilliant– in the scene with the priest giving a speech, Kaufman may have had his 'Hamlet moment'– it had its flaws too. This was Kaufman's first directorial attempt, and in parts we're reminded that every great writer still needs an editor. Still, this film is an all-encompassing masterpiece which continues Kaufman's march into legendary screenwriting status. You can read a fuller review I wrote on this movie at my blog here.
4. Slumdog Millionaire
Every once in a while there's a movie that, despite its absurdities, hovers in a realm of otherworldly scrutiny; a film that romances you with its ideals and heart, which touches you on such an inscrutable level that you become utterly hypnotized by the world it posits. That's the idea behind Slumdog Millionaire. Can you believe a lowly slumdog could win one million dollars? Ultimately, this is a film about what's really important– and its main character never lost sight of that, no matter what kind of shit he had to crawl through (literally). What made Jamal truly rich was something inside of him which he refused to lose sight of, even when everyone else around him floundered or sold out. Indeed, it was written.
3. The Wrestler
Mickey Rourke is pretty much a shoe-in for best actor of the year for this role. An astonishing real, touching, remarkable character study which never lost site of its subject. This might be the 'truest' film of the year.
2. Doubt
Doubt vs. Faith. Orthodoxy vs. Liberalism. Sternness vs. Compassion. This film ultimately settles in the gray area that muddles these false catholic dichotomies; it settles among ambiguity, the realm where all our defining choices are really made. It is perhaps particularly poignant for those who, like me, grew up surrounded by the Catholic institution. The acting all around is superb, and the script– based upon the pulitzer prize winning play– is the best script of the year.
1. Revolutionary Road
Despite some directorial wrinkles, this was easily the most poignant film of the year. And I'm happy to admit a thematic bias here, too. Kate Winslett was shafted by being nominated best actress for 'The Reader' instead of her role here– she was stunning in this film. The best performance of her career, easily. This criticism of the American Dream and suburban psychology brutally challenges its squeamish, escaptist American audience. Pure delight for me, but probably gritty torture for them.

Her father's latest legal victory means more familial feuding just as she tries to ready her party for a presidential race.
PARIS — At a Paris restaurant a few weeks ago, one of Marine Le Pen's closest allies declared that a long-running feud between the National Front president and her father was officially over.
"It's done," party Vice President Florian Philippot told a small group of journalists when asked about the likelihood of Jean-Marie Le Pen being excluded from the party. "Politically, he's no longer a member of the FN, although the matter still needs to be settled legally."
As it turned out, the legal difficulty of pushing Jean-Marie out of the party was greater than Philippot, who has pushed hard for exclusion, might have expected. And what had been planned as a stress-free summer of preparations for fall campaigning for Marine Le Pen now finds her once more fighting to cleanse the party of her father's influence.
On Tuesday, a court in Versailles threw out here latest attempt to silence her father, ruling that a mail-in vote by party members to determine whether he stayed or left was illegal.
The party expressed surprise at the ruling, which it insisted had no political value. In a statement on Wednesday, it said the 30,000 members quizzed in the internal poll had voted overwhelmingly — with more than 94 percent of votes — in favor of stripping Jean-Marie Le Pen of his status as honorary president of the National Front.
"Jean-Marie Le Pen loses any political legitimacy to remain President of honor in light of this clear choice by the people of the National Front," the statement said.
But a loss of political legitimacy is weaker than being legally stripped of his membership, as her allies implicitly recognized by seeking a legal expulsion in the first place. Legally severed from the National Front, the 87-year-old former paratrooper could easily have been dismissed as an embittered family member unable to accept the party's shift to the political mainstream. As a rebellious member, however, he can continue to spout racist and xenophobic rhetoric, tarnishing the image of his daughter's party as she tries to burnish her presidential aura ahead of a national vote in 2017.

The timing is particularly problematic. By querying FN members about Jean-Marie well before the traditional August break, Marine had hoped to put a full stop to the family feud and avoid distractions in the autumn, when she starts to campaign in earnest for regional elections in December.
Her candidacy in the depressed Nord-Pas-de-Calais region, which will run in parallel with that of her niece Marion-Maréchal in the southern Provence-Alpes-Cote-d'Azur region, is designed to establish the party's representation in regional institutions, where it has traditionally been lacking. Aunt and niece will represent two different, at times antagonistic, facets of the National Front: statist, anti-European Union and welfare-friendly in the north; economically liberal, socially conservative and anti-Islam on Marion's hunting ground in the south.
Now, Marine's campaign launch will be at least partly overshadowed by the conflict with her father. While opinion polls show Marine leading her rivals in the Nord, and reaching the final round of the 2017 race, an IPSOS poll published by Le Point magazine in March highlighted a worrying trend: former foreign minister Alain Juppé, who is seeking his center right party's nomination to run for president, polled higher than Le Pen among blue-collar workers — traditionally the strongest base of support for Marine, along with younger voters.
And while Marine is undisputed as party president, National Front supporters increasingly favor her niece's traditionalist approach. A poll by BVA in July showed that Marine's support had declined by 16 percent among party members since June, to 79 percent, versus a 1-percent rise, to 86 percent, for Marion. A BVA pollster told Le Parisien daily that Marine's drop was directly linked to the conflict with her father, which alienates many of the National Front's traditional backers.
With the presidential election just two years away, the National Front is locked in a tense internal debate over which political line to embrace for the national vote: Marine's Syriza-like statist approach, or her niece's traditional far-right fare, rooted in a defense of smalltime business owners and a much more liberal economic approach.
Here again, Marion's view, which hews much closer to that of the elder Le Pen, a classical economic liberal, may be winning the intra-party duel.
While Marine has so far stood by her euro exit stance, polls show that center-right voters with assets are put off by the prospect.
Quietly, the party as a whole has softened its anti-euro stance, saying a decision to leave would be taken only after a referendum on the question held six months after Marine Le Pen's election. Given that most French people have no desire to leave the euro, that amounts to a face-saving way of quietly dropping the euro exit position.
"I think we need to evolve," a Le Pen ally told POLITICO asking not to be named so he could discuss internal debates freely. "One area where that's going to happen is on the euro. Marine will also make a clear gesture in favor of companies, she will have an entirely new approach on business. It's too soon to come out with it now, but you'll hear about it more after the regional elections."
According to Agence-France Presse, Marine has already signed off on several amendments to her policy of "economic patriotism": a drastic simplification of taxes, and bringing down the corporate tax rate to 25 percent from 36 percent currently, or even lower if necessary.
That's not all. Marine, who grew up in Paris and did not share her niece's Catholic schooling, is sliding toward Marion's socially conservative positions. Last week, she criticized the European Court of Human Rights' involvement in the case of a 38-year-old tetraplegic Frenchman, Vincent Lambert. Lambert's family is divided over whether to continue life-support treatment or allow him to die. Le Pen called a move by Lambert's family to review medical procedures, which could lead to life-support being halted, a "death sentence".
