Which movie adaptation is worse?
Breakthrough first-person shooter fans Death One would think that a game with such a simple plot would be quite difficult to keep up with. Well, it turns out that two unrelated filmmaking groups fourteen years apart have found completely different ways to make a pathetic movie adaptation.
Death is a franchise that has been standing since 1993, one of the most famous and iconic names in video game history. Original game famous run on anything, while modern versions regularly become bestsellers. The brand has spawned a series of novels and comics, along with board and board games, and the story has always been fairly simple. The franchise’s two film adaptations are different in every way, making for a compelling comparison.
The first Death movie take over a decade to create, from copyright acquisition to scriptwriting to full production. Greenlit after the success of Doom II, the film rights changed hands several times before the film began its lengthy process. The film is directed by Andrzej Bartkowiak, the Polish cinematographer and director behind such classics as Cradle 2 the Grave or Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li. There’s some real star power behind the film’s cast, though most of its star heavyweights have yet to hit their peak. The hero of the film, John “Reaper” Grimm, whose name is John “Reaper” Grimm, is portrayed by Boys star Karl Urban. With him is Rosamund Pike of Lost Girl and Dwayne Johnson, known simply as The Rock at the time. On its initial release, the film was a box office disaster, but some have credited it as best video game movies of all time despite its flaws.
Death is the story of a group of Marines, sent to investigate an alarm signal in a mysterious city on Mars called Ark. While there, the team discovers that the regular villain of the Union Aerospace Corporation (UAC) series has been conducting illegal experiments, including a strange drug that transforms its victims into an entirely new species. . Death is a very generic film, a prime example of a common problem in video game cinema. One might believe that the film was put together before the brand name was secured, then remained largely unchanged once the relationship was established. A single action scene borrowed the game’s first-person aesthetic, viewed as more of a gimmick than a fancy choice. The most original element of the film is worse than simply being generic, it is morally questionable.
Much of the plot revolves around C24, a potion created for the film to grant victims superhuman strength or brutally transform them into monsters. Essentially, the deciding factor is moral superiority. The film argues that some people are inherently good and others inherently villainous, and that drugs have some way of discerning that essential truth and reward or punish accordingly. In DeathThe world of people is good or evil, and it is not their evil or selfish deeds that determine their fate. This single element of fiction turns a dull story into an existential curiosity. It’s the kind of storytelling that might go unnoticed in a good movie, but Death is a fascinating mess, so its alien ethos paints the whole story in an eerie light.
Death is a dull, uncreative, badly written mess of a movie that sets out to accomplish very little and deliver even less. Its stellar cast does their best with the material they’re provided with, veterans character actor Richard Brake was the only one who really felt at home in this part. As a film adaptation, films are referenced, but they are only surface-level observations. The spirit Death is nowhere to be found in its first film. Fourteen years will pass before a team tries again.
Released straight to video and immediately rejected by the game developer’s id Software, Destruction there was a lot going against it from the very beginning. The film is the darling project of writer-director Tony Giglio, who began advertising the franchise in 2015. The initial marketing resulted in intense public hatred from fans, who reacted overwhelmingly negatively for both movie teasers. The film sold to Blu-ray and On-Demand services before hitting Netflix a few months later, grossing a pitiful $75,831. Any movie with an exact bottom line could be considered a disaster.
Doom: Destruction was a complete disaster. Brimming with cheap visual effects, dragging on lifeless performances, and being dragged down by never-ending repetitive action sequences, the film runs for just over 90 minutes and runs out of ideas. circa 20. The plot revolves around a crew of Marines tasked with protecting an out-of-this-world research facility that is slowly being overrun by zombies and demons. The main character, Joan Dark (a not-so-intelligent and obviously painful allusion to Joan of Arc), played by Amy Manson, is the film’s answer. to the classic Doomguy, but doesn’t match the charisma of a dumb soldier in power armor. Almost impressively, this film was scorned prior to its daylight release, then scorned bit by bit with its final product.
Death It’s a mess, but a handful of good performances, a good action scene or two, and the eerie sight of out-of-date moral reasoning make it a compelling watch. Doom: Destruction Obviously the movie is worse overall. Destruction It’s not a sequel to the original film, but it’s most reminiscent of Disney’s approach to parody video sequels. Essentially the same plot, with less interesting ideas and somehow worse execution. Destruction try to catch brutal spirit of Death but forgot the most essential element; fun.

The Monthly Challenge topic for April is "Favourite food" and in that vein I thought I'd share with you a recipe for one of my favourite desserts. I found this recipe in a cookbook that was given to me by friend that thought that me being a vegetarian was just plain weird. Now you have to remember that this was about 20 years ago when people did view those of us that didn't want to eat meat as complete freaks. The title of the book is "The Cranks Recipe Book" by David Canter, Kay Canter and Daphne Swann. In the 60's these three people started up a vegetarian restaurant in London by the name of Cranks and over the years they opened more. You can read about the ups and downs of the Cranks restaurant business here. I believe there is only one restaurant left now and that is in Devon in the UK. The recipe book, I think, is still in print and there have been others published by the company since. I still have my, now very tatty and food stained, paperback version that was published in the 1980's.
My all time favourite dessert has to be The Cranks, no bake, lemon cheesecake, although I must confess that I have used the main mix and flavoured it with pineapple just as many times as I made it lemon flavoured.
This cheesecake is neither baked nor set with jelling compound. It relies on the weight of the ingredients to hold it's shape, so chill well and handle with care.
For the base
- Digestive biscuits 100 g (4 oz)
- Butter or margarine, melted 50 g (2 oz)
For the Filling
- Lemons 2
- Raw brown sugar 100 g (4 oz)
- Cream cheese 350 g (12 oz)
- Curd cheese 350 g (12 oz)
- Fresh double cream 142 ml (1/4 pt)
Whipped cream, green grapes, or grated lemon rind to decorate.
Finely crush the biscuits and stir into the melted butter. Press the biscuit mixture into the base of an 20 cm (8") loose bottomed deep cake tin. Chill whilst you move on to make the filling.
Grate the rind from the lemons and squeeze out the juice. Place in a basin with the sugar. Beat well. Slowly beat in the cheeses and continue to beat until the mixture is smooth. Whip the cream until it holds it's shape and fold into the cheese. Spread the cheese mixture over the biscuit base and level the surface. Cover and refrigerate for several hours. Turn the cheesecake out onto a serving plate. Decorate with whipped cream and grapes or lemon rind.
This is a very rich cheesecake, so remember, don't use any electrical whisks or blenders when making this. Do it all by hand. That way you can burn of a lot of calories in the making of it. It will balance out the calorie intake when you eat it hehehe.
The pineapple version I make is the same ingredient except for the lemons. Take fresh or tinned pineapple (if tinned it must be in juice not syrup) and substitute that for the lemons. If you are feeling adventurous you can cut the pineapple into cubes and use them to build a wall around the edge of the tin before you fill it with the cheese mixture. When you turn it out it looks fabulous with the cheese mixture inside a wall of fruit.
There are loads of other really yummy recipes in this book, so if you can find a copy I'd suggest you buy it and get cooking. Don't worry, you don't need to be a vegetarian to enjoy them. They will wow your taste buds whether you love eating meat or not.

To the community:
The annual Stuff-A-Bus event was held at the Altmar-Parish-Williamstown Central School District bus garage on August 22.
In conjunction with the Oswego County United Way and with strong support from the APW Parent-Teacher-Student Association, local businesses and individual donations, this event was once again tremendously successful – 200 students received book bags filled with required supplies for the upcoming school year.
This year light refreshments were served, and Bert and Ernie were on hand, along with a talented fellow creating balloon animals. Used books and clothing were also donated and available to the participants.
Stuff-A-Bus is open to all families.
There are no stipulations as to income, family size, etc.
The local economy and rising costs have created financial challenges for many of our families, and it is our hope that Stuff-A-Bus can in some way help to lighten that burden.
Thus, all students qualify and parents needing assistance are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity.
Each year Stuff-A-Bus proves to be a heartwarming and happy event.
The joy and enthusiasm seen in the faces of our young students is proof of this and is all the thanks anyone could want.
But it is important to recognize and acknowledge the efforts of those who make this event possible.
Without the United Way, the PTSA and the business and individual donations, the required supplies would not be available. And without the dedicated and hardworking members of the APW staff and the local community, the event could not happen.
Many individuals work tirelessly behind the scenes throughout the year soliciting donations.
Volunteers help categorize and purchase supplies while also coordinating and staffing the event itself.
All of these efforts are crucial to the success of the event and each of you deserves more thanks than words could ever express.
Stuff-A-Bus truly demonstrates what can be accomplished by a small community focused on the needs of its students and families and we can all be proud to be members of such a community.
We welcome and encourage everyone to join us in this endeavor.
New fundraising ideas and committees are needed as we begin planning for next year’s event.
We invite you to become a volunteer or make a donation.
For more information, please call Pat at 625-5241.
Again, my sincere and heartfelt thanks to all involved.

TRENTON - An assemblywoman from Essex County wants to see more young minority women get the prenatal care they need.
With a 2008 state Department of Health and Senior Services study highlighting disparities in prenatal care, Assemblywoman Sheila Oliver plans a hearing Thursday on ways to reduce inequities.
"New Jersey is too good to rank near the bottom when it comes to the state of health care for expectant mothers and their children," said Oliver, a Democrat who chairs the Assembly Human Services Committee.
Health and Senior Services Commissioner Heather Howard is scheduled to speak about the state's campaign to raise awareness of prenatal care, and Oliver is sponsoring a bill that calls for the continuation of obstetric services if a clinic closes or reduces its hours.
The bill would authorize the commissioner to dedicate money from the Health Care Stabilization Fund to support obstetrics at a financially distressed health-care center.
"Worries such as lack of transportation and reduction of services at our clinics shouldn't be preventing women, most notably teenagers and African American women, from getting the care that they need to ensure their babies have the best chance at being born healthy and strong," Oliver said.
Also on the agenda of Thursday's Assembly session are two bills that would provide caretakers with information to protect children.
One, sponsored by Nelson Albano and Matthew Milam, both Cape May County Democrats, and Ruben J. Ramos Jr. (D., Hudson), aims to prevent accidents involving tipped-over furniture and televisions. The bill is named Chloe and Samantha's Law after two girls who were killed when large televisions fell on them.
The bill would require anyone selling or renting household products to provide written notice about devices to anchor or stabilize them or otherwise prevent tipping. The requirement would apply to dressers, bookcases, bureaus and armoires at least 42 inches tall; TV screens of at least 25 inches; and all TV stands.
"This is smart and sensible legislation that would protect our young children from tragic accidents," Albano said.

Nathaniel Hawthorne once wrote:
No man, for any considerable period, can wear one face to himself and another to the multitude, without eventually becoming bewildered as to which is the true.
Last week, at one of my very first Girls In Power meetings, I sat and listened as some of my fellow interns discussed the qualities employed when building connections. Along with verbal communication, the theme of the evening seemed to be vulnerability, and that got me thinking:
What else has an impact on the relationships that we create?
It’s the easiest and the hardest thing, not only to be our absolute selves but to love ourselves absolutely. Whether it’s self or societal, the pressure inflicted upon us to be “better”-prettier, smarter, thinner, wealthier and so forth-can have more than just a negative impact on our self-image. As our esteem takes a tumble, often times our bonds and relationships with those close to us take the hit as well. So how do we strengthen these connections within ourselves and our relationships?
I’ve found that the best thing to do is ask H.E.R. It’s an acronym I came up with as I was brainstorming my ideas for this week’s post. I stepped back and thought up what the foundations of my best friendships and relationships were built upon, and I came up with three main ideas: Honesty, Empathy, and Respect.
H is for Honesty
In literature, Honesty is considered a writer’s most influential tool. It not only builds the reader’s faith in their character but it allows the reader to find commonality with the author, creating a stronger connection to the material.
In life it’s not much different. Honesty is one of the most important qualities to display between one another. It is how we find out of similarities and differences, and learn to accept not only our own characters, but the characters of others.
It begins with oneself. When the pressure builds up, and we start to doubt our brightness and our goodness, we have to find a way to step back and reevaluate what we really see. A great way to do so is take a few minutes every day and write down a quality or two that you admire about yourself. Think of situations in which you’ve displayed that quality and then write down a few ways in which you can further display that quality to improve your friendships. Do the same thing for qualities you’d like to improve on!
Maybe you’re very giving, but you struggle when communicating with others. You can make time to sit down with someone and say: “I feel like I don’t communicate enough with you, would it be alright if I shared some thoughts with you?” Women are usually in tune with one another’s deep seeded emotions, and bond over discussing them and sharing them with one another. If you’re honest with yourself, it’s easier to be honest with others.
E is for Empathy
It’s a commonly misunderstood term but, as Shelby Philips refers to GIP’s own Melinda Crown in the post “How to Show Empathy,”
“Empathy is the art of letting the speaker know you not only understand the words used, but also are sensitive to the feeling that is being expressed.”
When it comes to communication, honesty and empathy go hand in hand. As I said before, it’s important to be honest with one another when sharing and reaching out for support, but a sisterhood and a friendship must also include empathetic communication as well. Much like we learn in our workshops, relationships require us to communicate with both meaning and emotion. Honesty may present the facts, but Empathy binds the emotions together. And likewise, Honesty creates trust, and Empathy builds understanding.
It can be difficult at times to show that we empathize with each other, especially if we are going through a difficult time in our own lives. Sometimes our own pain or sadness seems to be the only pain and the only sadness that matters. What we must aim to see is that we can still make our struggles a priority to overcome while aiding others in our lives with overcoming their own. Empathy is a great tool for doing just that! It also finds commonalities between people, and we can even find resolution by sharing our experiences with others.
R is for Respect
With truth and understanding covered, the last of the three remains. Respect is more than just a display of common courtesy. It is also something we have to practice within ourselves. Self-respect is something everyone struggles with at some point throughout life. We all question ourselves, and on occasion we even make ourselves seem small to please others. But making ourselves appear to be less than what we are breeds a lingering feeling of “not good enough.” And it’s simply not true.
We hear it all the time, that those who treat others like they’re insignificant are really just insecure with their own significance. And we usually write that idea off, because it seems too simple to take it as a fact. Yet in a way, it’s the truth. When we start to feel insecure, don’t we tend to look for ways to boost ourselves up? If we can’t be honest with ourselves about the insecurity we hold inside, then we sometimes try to find a way to show that we have something that someone else doesn’t. Instead, why not own those feelings, share them with someone, and find a clarity and a new sense of self-significance. No one is perfect, but that doesn’t mean that we aren’t enough, and it doesn’t mean that we all don’t matter.
So when we start to feel low and we approach the urge to put each other down to build ourselves up, stop and remember that we are all responsible for our own feelings. Take control of your reactions and respond in a more empathetic and honest way. Those are the best ways to show respect not only for ourselves, but for each other. Remember: everything we say, everything we feel and create, it matters.

New from TCI – their 4x Four-Speed Auto Transmissions. These transmissions are easy to install and allow the use of a popular 4L80E or 700R4 transmission with non-GM applications. See more details below.
TCI has expanded its drivetrain lineup with the new 4x Four-Speed Auto Transmission series that allows the use of a popular 4L80E or 700R4 transmission with non-GM performance applications.
Both the 4L80E-based and 700R4-based versions of the 4x Four-Speed feature an SFI-spec adapter bellhousing for easy installation of the transmission behind a Small or Big Block Ford, Ford Mod, Small or Big Block Chrysler, Gen III Hemi, Buick, Pontiac, Olds or GM engine.
The electronic overdrive 4x Four-Speed Auto Transmission, Electronic 4L80E-based also includes an adapter flexplate that uses the engine crankshaft bolt pattern and the GM torque converter pattern. It is rated to 875 HP and can be used with an original GM transmission controller or a TCI EZ-TCU.
The fully mechanical 4x Four-Speed Auto Transmission, Non-electronic 700R4-based also includes an adapter flexplate, transmission cooler, dipstick and all necessary hardware. It is designed with street rodders in mind and will be sold in two power levels: 550 HP and 750 HP. Application-specific kits do not require a transmission controller and use a
Constant Pressure Valve Body, eliminating the chance of transmission failure due to a misadjusted TV cable and providing more freedom when setting part throttle shift points. A compact design means the transmission will fit in most applications without the need for tunnel modifications.
- Adapter bellhousing for installation behind non-GM engines
- Electronic 4L80E-based can be used with original GM controller or TCI EZ-TCU
- Non-electronic 700R4-based does not require transmission controller

THE Bulawayo City Council-run clinics have been hit hard by an exodus of health staff, a move which has severely affected the effective healthcare delivery at a time when the country is also still grappling with the Covid-19 pandemic.
The issue was raised by Ward 13 Councillor Frank Javangwe during a recent council meeting
“Councillor F. Javangwe was concerned about high staff turnover at council clinics among the nursing staff. More nurses and dental therapists should be employed. Dental services should be extended to other clinics,” the report reads in part.
When Ward 24 Councillor Arnold Batirai asked if the local authority had a solution to high staff turnover, in response Deputy Mayor Councillor Mlandu Ncube explained that the council was working very hard to retain staff.
The local authority also encouraged health staff to be patient saying working in the health sector was more of a personal calling.
“This applied across the entire Council. Salaries were being reviewed from time to time and working conditions improved. Working in the health sector was more of a personal calling and as such health staff was encouraged to practise patience,” further reads the report.
Alderman Monica Lubimbi said Government had indicated to take over all council clinics as well as the nursing staff.

LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — Mayor Eric Garcetti on Tuesday defended his decision to attend a Washington, D.C. fundraiser for his 2017 re-election campaign on the eve of the Police Commission's ruling on the fatal officer-involved shooting of Ezell Ford.
According to the Los Angeles Times, Garcetti had two 30-minute meetings with Obama administration officials, but also attended a reception for his re-election effort hosted by Harold Ickes, a prominent fundraiser for the Democratic Party.
The reception lasted about two hours and had as many as 50 guests, each of them asked to donate $1,300, the maximum individual contribution under Los Angeles' campaign finance limits, Ickes told The Times.
Garcetti spokesman Jeff Millman said this week the campaign paid for the trip and Garcetti would not be commenting further on
his time in Washington.
But the mayor did have a response when KNX 1070's Charles Feldman asked Garcetti during Tuesday's regular "Ask The Mayor" segment whether he neglected to mention to protesters that he was headed back East for a fundraising trip because it would cast him in a negative light.
"No," the mayor said. "I could've easily canceled that and it was not the main reason I was going."
He added the trip was primarily to meet with White House officials about funding for a number of city programs, including efforts to help homeless veterans.
A video posted online showed protesters confronting Garcetti outside his home last Monday he was going to Washington in an attempt to get federal funds for community policing and homelessness programs.
Dr. Melina Abdullah, an organizer with Black Lives Matter, told KNX 1070 NEWRADIO she thinks the mayor was less than forthcoming.
"He blatantly lied about his purpose in going to Washington, he told us he was going to get money for precisely the issue we care most about," said Abdullah.
The allegations follow Garcetti's decision to skip a community meeting in Venice about the fatal shooting of a homeless man because he had a family commitment.
According to The Times, Garcetti had a reception for diplomats and went to the opening of a video game company that evening, and the family commitment would not have conflicted with the community meeting.
Garcetti defended his decision, saying breaking two commitments that would potentially benefit the city in order to go to Venice didn't make sense.
"Looking back...I don't know that I would've attended that meeting, I don't want the question to be that I need to go to every single meeting," said Garcetti. "Most people that went there said it was a very unproductive meeting."

Lonnie Johnson Jr., Ka’imi Fairbairn, Brandin Cooks, Eric Murray, A.J. Moore Jr., Jordan Jenkins, Jonathan Greenard, Eric Wilson, Lane Taylor, Justin Britt, Tytus Howard, Roy Lopez, Jaleel Johnson, Derek Rivers, Maliek Collins...and now David Johnson, Paul Quessenberry, and Neville Hewitt are on the COVID-19 list.
A week after beating the Los Angeles Chargers with 23 players on the COVID-19 reserve list, the Texans have added three more names to it. Running back David Johnson, who was out with a quad injury last week, backup linebacker Neville Newitt (who is now a starting linebacker), and practice squad fullback turned emergency roster addition Paul Quessenberry have joined the list. Hopefully some of the players who were on the list last week will be reinstated this week to suit up for the San Francisco 49ers.
This has led to lots of knowledge. Like us learning what a Connor Strachan is, that Chris Owens is J.J. Watt, or that Jonathan Owens will make Justin Reid expendable next year. Tremon Smith is a running back now. This. Yes. This. So much this.
The 49ers, on the other hand, only have punter Mitch Wishnowsky on the COVID-19 list. One team needs their squad to return, and the other is at full strength. The Texans and 49ers are set to play this Sunday, January 3rd, at 3:05 p.m. CST.
UPDATE: Good news. Several players have been activated in advance of Sunday’s game.

A camera in automatic mode will evaluate the entire scene and choose the exposure automatically. If the entire scene appears too dark, the camera will increase the exposure. If the entire scene is too bright, it will decrease the exposure.
If the intended object is small, bright, and on a dark background like a sunset, changing zoom will affect the overall brightness of the entire scene. The automatic mode might choose an incorrect exposure. It is the source of much flat-Earth misinformation & can be corrected using manual exposure.
In the illustration, we used a Nikon P1000 to photograph a lamp on a dark background, from wide-angle (24mm) to telephoto (860mm), using both manual and full-automatic exposure (green square mode). We used the same exposure the full auto mode gave us for the shots in the manual mode.
The wider the zoom, the less the lamp occupies the frame, and the darker the overall scene. The autoexposure compensated it by increasing the exposure. As a result, the lamp becomes overexposed, with a noticeable glare around it. The glare is not part of the lamp but is only a result of an overexposed light source against a dark background.
On the other hand, the longer the zoom, the more the lamp occupies the frame. The overall scene becomes brighter, and the autoexposure system compensates by reducing the exposure. As a result, we can observe the actual image of the lamp at the expense of the surrounding that becomes invisibly dark.
We can lock the exposure using manual exposure, and the light source appears the same even though we are changing the zoom.

As a functionally important aspect of cognitive flexibility, reversal learning leads to inhibition/suppression of the previously established memory. Effective reversal learning is fundamental for information updating and essential for adaptation to changing environmentalcues.Regardingitsimpactonmentalhealth,deficitsincognitiveflexibility and reversal learning are prevalent in psychological and mood disorders, and are considered as an emerging therapeutic target. However, there is limited understanding of mechanisms underlying cognitive flexibility. Our recent experimental data revealed that, contrary to the previously recognized role of cAMP signaling in regulating broad spectrum of learning and memory, type 8 adenylyl cyclase (ADCY8) specifically regulates the activity-dependent suppression of old memory following reversal learning. With our recently developed Adcy8 conditional knockout mice, we will determine the effects of region- and cell type-specific ADCY8 deficiency on synaptic and cognitive flexibility: reversal/suppression of the previously established synaptic potentiation (i.e. depotentiation)andreversal/suppressionofthepreviouslyestablishedmemory.Further, computational analysis with transcriptome landscape predicts that the PI3K (phosphatidylinositide 3-kinase)/Akt (protein kinase B)-GSK3? (glycogen synthase kinase 3?) signaling cascade is the molecular substrate of ADCY8. We will determine whether restoration of the ADCY8-PI3K/Akt-GSK3? signaling cascade causally corrects the defective synaptic depotentiation and reversal/suppression of old memory. Finally, we will determine the causal effect of synaptic depotentiation on old memory suppression and its dependency on the ADCY8-PI3K/Akt-GSK3b? signaling cascade. Considering that there are 10 different ADCYs in mammalian system, the outcome of this project will delineate a unique of role of ADCY8 in regulating a specific domain of cAMP signaling that is functionally linked to cognitive and synaptic flexibility. We also expect that the mechanisms learned from this study may suggest targeted therapeutic strategiestoattenuatereversallearningdeficitsincertainpatientpopulationwithaltered cAMP-PI3K/Akt-GSK3?signaling.

A History Student Makes an Impact in the Operating Room at Penn
It’s not only physicians and nurses who can make a difference in health care. Sometimes it takes a history major and some careful observation to help effect positive change.
That was the case with Nicholas Savino, a senior at the University of Pennsylvania, who devoted a summer to examining the magnitude of blood wastage in the operating room. His independent research project, which entailed a detailed tracking of blood products from blood bank to operating room to patient, a subsequent survey of surgical staff and a final report with concrete recommendations, helped lead to changes that have significantly reduced wastage at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania.
Growing up in Moorestown, N.J., Savino initially wanted to pursue medicine as a career, but he came to feel differently as his college years approached. A gifted athlete, he was recruited to play soccer at theUniversity of California, Santa Barbara. But, after a shoulder injury his freshman year, he reconsidered his decision to attend college so far away.
“I loved my time out in California, but I wanted to come home,” Savino says.
His father attended Penn, as did his older twin brothers, Michael and Andrew, the latter now a student at Penn’s Perelman School of Medicine. Savino found Penn was a good fit for him, not to mention he was offered an opportunity to join the Penn soccer team. He transferred to Penn after his freshman year at UCSB.
Like his brothers before him, Savino decided to major in history in the School of Arts & Sciences, concentrating in economic history. Yet Savino was still drawn to the health-care field. For the independent project following his sophomore year, Savino was introduced to Daniel Dempsey, chief of gastrointestinal surgery and the assistant director of Peri-operative Services at Penn Medicine, who served as Savino’s advisor. Along with co-advisor Marc Schmidt, an associate professor of biology in Penn Arts & Sciences, Savino and Dempsey identified the issue of blood wastage as a fruitful subject for study.
“It was a nice fit for me because it is an economic problem as well as a moral problem,” Savino says.
Not all blood that is donated finds its way to patients, Savino explains. A portion of donated blood products is discarded because it expires or is mishandled. The wastage of blood on a national level is significant and is considered by some the “price of doing business.” But reducing blood wastage can benefit patients, save money and help conserve a limited and precious resource.
“Elimination of blood wastage was a goal of the HUP periop team, and Nick came along exactly at the right time,” says Dempsey.
During his research, Savino learned that surgeons rely on four different types of blood products: packed red blood cells, cryoprecipitate, fresh frozen plasma and platelets. Each has a specific role in the care of patients, and each has a defined protocol for storage and expiration. Once ordered and released from the blood bank, blood products have a short shelf life. If not transfused within a specified period of time, for example, five hours for cryoprecipitate, they have to be discarded. In practice, it’s impossible for a surgeon to know exactly how much of a blood product will be required. Instead of risking not having enough, it is common to order more than is anticipated.
“What would happen is doctors would order too much because they know it takes 45 minutes or so for the blood to be defrosted in the blood bank,” Savino says. “They’re thinking of the worst case scenario, and they don’t want to be caught short handed in a patient that is bleeding and needs a blood transfusion.”
But Savino and his advisors suspected that the amount of blood being wasted could be reduced. To attempt to quantify and track the wastage, Savino obtained clearances to analyze records of surgery patients at HUP between July 2013 and May 2014. He also sat in on surgeries, taking careful note of the blood products ordered, transfused and wasted and also how they were handled. In addition, he sent a survey to operating room staff, including attending physicians, residents, nurses and technicians, garnering more than 200 responses on such subjects as how long it takes to obtain blood, how blood was stored in the OR and who was responsible for returning unused products to the blood bank when appropriate.
His analysis of patient records revealed that, in the course of 10 months, 833 units of blood were discarded — that is, units that were ordered and were not able to be returned to the blood bank for reallocation to another patient. This blood was defined as “wasted.” The estimated cost of this wasted blood was $184,000.
The quantity surprised, but national data suggest this problem is not specific to Penn Medicine. It is ubiquitous in many medical centers in the United States.
“I’ve donated my own blood before,” Savino says, “and to think it might be going in the trash is really demoralizing.”
The survey results and his OR observations found that no one person was designated to return unused blood to the blood bank, and some blood products were wasted because the blood products were being mishandled. For example, platelets, once pooled, must be kept at room temperature. Packed red blood cells must be kept cold. If red cells were kept at room temperature or platelets were kept cold, the products would need to be discarded.
Savino and Dempsey brainstormed practical steps the hospital could take to reduce wastage, some of which HUP has since implemented. Among them, the blood bank decreased the number of units of cryoprecipitate in a bag from 10 to five so less is wasted if a bag is prepared and not used. And a new blood-returning system has been adopted with a designated technician responsible for retrieving and returning blood products between the ORs and blood bank, a system designed to return unused blood before the expiration time.
Savino spent this past summer again working in service to the health-care system, this time in patient accounting for Thomas McCormick, associate vice president for patient accounting for Penn Medicine. He foresees a possible career in health-care administration or consulting.
But first, he’s taking on his senior year, complete with 6 a.m. soccer practices, history major requirements and a sports business course.
“To become a doctor is a long road; it’s a bright light at the end of it, but I don’t think it’s for me at this time,” Savino says. “But the part where I can help people, that part I like.”

A study was undertaken to determine whether the relative leaf stages of common annual weeds and crops could serve as a reliable indicator of the time of weed emergence. Ten annual broadleaved and grass weeds were sown at successive intervals in field corn and soybean at Harrow, ON, Canada, in 1997, 1998, and 1999. All weeds emerging at a particular crop leaf stage were assigned to a cohort. Leaf numbers of the crop and different weed cohorts were recorded at 2- to 3-d intervals up to the eight-leaf stage of corn and the fourth trifoliate of soybean. For each weed species, categorical data analysis revealed a high degree of association between the leaf stage of a crop and the leaf number expected for an individual weed of a given cohort. For example, by the third trifoliate of soybean, most of the weeds emerging with the crop (VE cohort) had 8 to 10 leaves, whereas weeds in the V1, V2, and V3 cohorts averaged about seven, four, and two leaves, respectively. Year to year variation in the correspondence between crop and weed leaf numbers generally was small once variation due to time of weed emergence was removed, with one exception. Dry surface soil conditions during emergence of the VE cohort in corn in 1999 resulted in delayed leaf appearance of many weeds with respect to the crop. The relationship between weed and crop leaf stages can provide information for management decisions in two ways: (1) it indicates the relative time of weed emergence in assessing the need for control, and (2) it indicates the crop stage at which scouting for particular weed leaf stages should occur.
Nomenclature: Corn, Zea mays L. ‘Pioneer 3573’; soybean, Glycine max (L.) Merr. ‘NK 2492’.

CHARLOTTE - On Monday, lawmakers decided to postpone a bill that aims to expand school choice options for North Carolina families.
Local education leaders say they are happy to learn the bill will be discussed further before it moves forward. If passed as-is, the bill would allow students to go to any school they want, making it logistically challenging for districts.
“I would like to see it passed because I want my grandkids to get the higher education,” said Carol Stevens, who cares for her seven grandchildren.
Supporters say the bill would make the playing field more equal, giving students the chance to go to a school other than the one in their neighborhood.
“It’s a good thing if they provide the transportation, because a lot of parents cannot,” Stevens said.
Legislatures are discussing whether that would be a requirement.
“It will cost more in transportation dollars or if we’re not going to provide transportation, then that will deny that choice that is so desirable, apparently, in this plan,” said Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools member Eric Davis.
In a statement to Channel 9, CMS Superintendent Dr. Heath Morrison said the district supports increased school choice but added, “We feel strongly that this type of change requires more public attention, dialogue and overall community engagement.”
Davis said if legislators are concerned with student equality, that should be the focus -- instead of figuring out how to move students around.
Currently if a CMS student wants to transfer schools within the district, he or she has to file a request to transfer. However, because of space issues, many are not approved.
Channel 9 received numbers from CMS Monday. In the 2013-2014 school year, the district received 6,189 requests for transfer. That number includes any duplicate and voided requests. Of those, CMS has denied 1,747 requests and approved 2,893.

After beating cancer, Whitman-Hanson Regional High alum Rian Schwede is back on the mound at Endicott College.
Rian Schwede isn’t too used to getting hit hard.
But just about a year ago to the day he was — not on the baseball field but off it.
He received a cancer diagnosis.
“It all started when I got home,” said Schwede, a sophomore at Endicott College. “We got sent home in March, and I found out in April. I was shocked. It was kind of crazy going home and finding out about all that stuff — the season getting canceled and having to finish school, which was another element I had to deal with.”
Then a couple of weeks later, it got worse.
“They said it was Stage 3 at first,” Schwede recalled. “Then I got a call one afternoon saying, ‘Hey Rian, we got some bad news. The blood work came back, and you’ve been upgraded to Stage 4.’ I took that phone call by myself in my room.”
Fortunately for Schwede, it was a pretty curable form of testicular cancer with chemotherapy and then a final surgery.
“I started chemo in early June to mid-August,” he said. “Every three weeks, I’d have to go in for one week, and then I’d come out and have a three-week break and go in for another week.”
Baseball helped take his mind off the process, beginning with his team at Endicott.
“Every single week I was in the hospital I’d get a text from the whole team,” Schwede said. “Everyone would be saying, ‘Yo, good luck. You got it.’ And I get some calls from my close friends on the team.”
Schwede, a three-time Patriot League All-Star on the diamond at Whitman-Hanson Regional High, also played in the local Ted Williams League in between treatments.
“I was like, ‘I’ll go there, I’ll throw and take my mind off things,’” Schwede said. “It was a really good time. I would do it with my friends from home, too.”
In October, Schwede was officially cancer free. And while one battle was down, there was still another to go. He’d lost about 10 to 15 pounds during chemotherapy and knew he had to build himself up before the college baseball season. After a few months, he was even bigger than he was before – weighing in at 215 pounds.
“I kind of just flipped the switch to get back to normal,” he said. “I had a set routine of going to the gym and going to my trainers. It was a really good, productive offseason going from absolutely nothing in the fall to just work my butt off to get back to where I am now.”
He spent part of that offseason working with Diamondbacks pitching prospect Matt Tabor.
“He really helped me pitching-wise,” Schwede said.
Schwede’s commitment this offseason paid off. He took the ball for Endicott in its conference opener against Wentworth on Saturday, March 27. Schwede struck out four over 3 2/3 innings in a 4-3 win.
“It was great to get back out there,” said Schwede. “It’s been a grind the last month or two.”
Said Endicott skipper Bryan Haley: “The fact that he’s gone through what he’s gone through and he gets the ball in a big game for us is definitely special.”
Haley said Schwede’s journey gives the team a different perspective on life.
“We get caught up a lot in our day-to-day, the wins and losses and these little things that we make much bigger than they are,” Haley said. “Then Rian gets cancer and it kind of just hits the breaks on everybody and says, ‘Hey, listen. What are we really worried about here?’ We’re pretty lucky to be out here competing.”

Jenny, who works in Cataloguing, has also reviewed some of the films available on Beamafilm.
This is a great way to get an idea of the kind of content you could find on the service.
Hiroshima Mon Amour | 1959
Director: Alain Resnais
Hiroshima Mon Amour examines the relationship between a French actress (Emmanuelle Riva) and Japanese architect (Eiji Okada) in post-war Japan. This is one of the most beautiful love stories I’ve seen unfold on screen. It is a must-watch for fans of early French New Wave cinema – particularly those who favour slow drawn-out sequences accompanied by poetic dialogue.
400 Blows | 1959
Director: François Truffaut
As one of the landmark films of the French New Wave, Truffaut captures the realities of his troubled childhood through the eyes of twelve-year old Antoine Doinel (Jean-Pierre Leaud). Highly recommended as an introduction to French New Wave cinema.
About Elly | 2009
Director: Asghar Farhadi
Farhadi has a knack for presenting us with contesting viewpoints on morally complex issues – often in relation to the breakdown of familial bonds. In About Elly, an outsider’s disappearance sends a group of friends into a state of frenzy as they unearth the complicated truths behind this tragedy.
The Getting of Wisdom | 1978
Director: Bruce Beresford
Directed by one of the most revered Australian filmmakers, Bruce Beresford, The Getting of Wisdom imbues nostalgia and wit as it details the life of a country girl’s exploits as a newly-enrolled student in a Melbourne boarding school. This is classic Australian cinema at its best.
Le Jetée | 1962
Director: Chris Marker
Marker’s 1962 experimental sci-fi masterpiece focuses on time-travel and memory in a post-apocalyptic future. Constructed from a series of still images, La Jetée is a reminder of cinema’s powerful ability to harbor recollection.

If you need a loan, ask your bank to ‘close off’ your account. Would you rather they would give you the money outright or would they cut you off entirely?
There’s a reason for this. Under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) only five percent of all banks take payday loans. A majority of these are ‘personal loan’ arrangements, sometimes called debt harvest practices. This practice reduces a client’s chance of defaulting on a loan by placing the borrower in as much association control as possible.
Certainly, most ‘personal loans’ you will consider are not for profit. However, the practice of lending to individuals involves obtaining detailed ‘financial documents’ showing annual finances, interest, loans have been made, payments are being made and other information about the amount of funds that up to date accounts and all other details and information associated with a potential loan.
The information your bank harvests is anonymous, usually at the trial stage the bank knows what you have and you know exactly what they have to go through to assess the risk of the loan, with the risk seeming to exist mainly on the side of the bank in terms of their ability to appraise the ability of your spouse to repay the loan if applicable.
Even in this spirit you need to consider who will be your legal representative, your private banker or your solicitor to discuss the check.
If you and your bank lawyer are drawing the line on the only payday loan model completely dictated by legal rights. And your solicitor knows the banks’ best interest. What about you? In today’s day and age you need to pay licensing fees for every separate state it is rented. In the US wil lay commissionimming is really a innovation based on licensed bank route coping, that? It is what financial institutions have been building today. Anyway, back to my story.
Given your personel are likely to gravitate towards USA narrow lenders especially their USA wide lending originators that represents their highest credit risk on mortgages in which a mere $3000 non-minimum down payment gives you a guarantee uncertain if al ledger a bank home will ever be just atce.

Story originally appeared on Marriott Vacation Club.
Youll find more to do within a mile radius of Marriott Vacation Club Pulse, New York City, than in some entire cities. This is a testament to both the dynamic nature of Manhattan and the propertys fantastic Midtown location. Read on for my favorite activities and eateries within walking distance.
Skyscrapers and Cityscapes
Even as a native New Yorker, I think one of the citys most memorable experiences is taking the express elevator to the 82nd and 102nd floor observation decks of the Empire State Building and enjoying the view. The landmark skyscraper is just three blocks from Marriott Vacation Club Pulse, New York City and you can catch an unforgettable vista of the Art Deco tower from the propertys Top of the Strand rooftop bar .
Another way to view the Empire State Building and surrounding skyline is from the Top of the Rock Observation Deck at Rockefeller Center, about a 15-minute walk from the property. Known as the home of NBC News, and television programs like The Today Show and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Rockefeller Center hosts a variety of outdoor concerts in the summer. Its also a must-visit in the winter, when it displays the citys infamous Christmas tree and a sunken skating rink that has been featured in countless New York-based films. Around the corner is Radio City Music Hall, where the renowned Rockettes perform in an annual Christmas Spectacular .
Shopping, Sightseeing and Culture
Just a 20-minute stroll away, youll find Fifth Avenue, one of the most famous (and expensive) shopping districts in America. Retailers include Saks Fifth Avenue (of course), Bergdorf Goodman, Louis Vuitton and Gucci even if youre on a budget, it can be fun to window shop.
For an inspiring detour, turn onto west 53rd Street and visit the Museum of Modern Art. Its arguably the greatest modern art museum in the world, showcasing diverse creative works spanning from the late 18th century to today. Or venture a few blocks to the west and south and soak up the bright lights and 24-hour spectacle of Times Square.
A Walk in the Park (or the Library)
The beloved Bryant Park is only a few blocks from Marriott Vacation Club Pulse, New York City. In warm weather, the park is known for its lush flowering gardens and sunny lawn. As the weather turns chilly, the park transforms into a Winter Village with a skating rink, Christmas tree, food hall and holiday shops.
Adjacent to the park, youll find the New York Public Library on Fifth Avenue, flanked by its iconic twin lions. The Beaux-Arts main branch of the citys vast public library system opened to the public in 1911. Visitors can go on free daily guided tours, peruse a special collection of books for children, attend public events or dine at the popular cafe serving breakfast and lunch.
Grand Central Terminal and Beyond
Another magnificent public building thats well worth touring is Grand Central Terminal, which opened in 1913 as the terminus of the Grand Central Railroad. Today its filled with shops, restaurants and performance spaces. Both docent-led and self-guided audio tours are available, offering captivating details about the terminals celestial ceiling (which was painted backwards), hidden tennis courts and cocktail bar (the latter was once a private apartment), and the Tiffany clock on the faade the largest such timepiece in the world.
Still a transportation hub, Grand Central Terminal is served by the Metro-North Railroad and the 4, 5, 6, 7 and S subway lines. In fact, one of my favorite summer activities is to take the Metro-North train to the New York Botanical Garden; a 23-minute ride that transports you out of the city to a 250-acre urban oasis filled with greenhouses, waterfalls and a rare preserve of old-growth forest.
East River Attractions
Directly east of the hotel is the Murray Hill neighborhood, home of the Morgan Library & Museum (once the private library of J.P. Morgan). A bit to the north, along the East River, youll find the headquarters of the United Nations, where you can take a guided tour or book lunch reservations in the Delegates Dining Room.
For a great view, take the Roosevelt Island Tramway from its station on 59th Street and 2nd Avenue in Manhattan to Tramway Plaza on Roosevelt Island. Its only $4 round-trip and provides a scenic, off-the-beaten-path perspective of the New York City skyline.
Dining and Drinks
If all that exploring works up your appetite, one of my favorite eateries in the city is just two doors down from Marriott Vacation Club Pulse, New York City. Reichenbach Hall is Manhattans largest beer hall, where authentic Bavarian Pilsners go perfectly with plates of Jgersptzle, bratwurst, and Jgerschnitzel.
Also within walking distance, you cant beat Keens Steakhouse for a clubby feast on mutton chops and prime steak, or the Grand Central Oyster Bar for fresh seafood under the arches of the train stations lower concourse. And if youre like me and cant get enough of those lofty views of the city, consider a cocktail at the Top of the Strand rooft op bar right at Marriott Vacation Club Pulse, New York City, where your room key will get you to the front of the line even on a busy weekend night.


This year our music video Glasbak was on view during the Nederlands Film Festival (NFF). At an event curated by CJP they selected highlights of the annual festival. This was the ultimate movie marathon for an audience under 30!
The NFF took place from September 27 to October 5 2018 in Utrecht. CJP has created a day program, including selected movies, documentaries, animations, and short films. In between screenings, there are Q&A’s with filmmakers and opportunities to grab a few drinks and get to know each other.
Sad to have missed it? Great news! The video is always accessible on YouTube, but to make life easier we have included it here once more ;).

Musicians have been badgering Apple to sell their music without copy protection for years, so why, wonders Wendy M Grossman, is it changing its tune now?
From The Guardian:
It’s a mystery that Apple won’t talk about. Independent artists have been complaining for years that Apple was deaf to their requests to include their music at the iTunes Music Store without applying digital rights management (DRM) software. Apple CEO Steve Jobs said in his February 6 essay Thoughts on Music that the company had no choice but to use DRM to protect songs sold via iTunes because the record companies insisted on it. Complain, he said, to Universal, Sony BMG, Warner and EMI, who control 70% of the world’s music. No answer, still, to the artists who wanted their music released DRM-free.
A few weeks ago, EMI blinked and agreed to release its catalogue in near-CD quality (256kbps AAC format), DRM-free, via iTunes for a premium price (99p per track). The DRM-free offerings will be available next month. Just like that.
Was that difficult to implement? Apple declined to discuss the decision, the technical complexity involved, or anything beyond Jobs’s essay.
Scott Cohen, founder of the digital distribution service The Orchard, says the change is “not technically complicated”. What is complicated, he says, is the many different versions required to service digital stores, from iTunes to mobile phone downloads. There are only three basic file formats in use – AAC, MP3 and WMA – but, he says, details like bit rates and the metadata identifiers are different for each store. There are 63 variants for mobile devices alone, and overall there are hundreds. Cohen notes, though, that the really hard work is marketing the music.
The reversal makes it even less understandable why independent artists who want to release their music via iTunes but without DRM have been unable to do so.

“Five Questions with Eileen Collins,” Interview by Tom Jones
Quest Volume: 28 #4 (2021)
Astronaut Tom Jones interviews Col. Eileen Collins about her career and her new book during which she shares stories about STS-93 and STS-114 missions. Col. Collins flew four Space Shuttle missions as pilot (for STS-63 and STS-84) and as commander of STS-93 and STS-114, the first flight after the 2003 loss of Shuttle Columbia. She logged more than 6,751 flight hours in 30 different aircraft, and more than 36 days in Earth orbit.
Collins, Eileen. “Five Questions with Eileen Collins.” Interview with Tom Jones. Quest: The History of Spaceflight Quarterly 28, no. 4 (2021): 3-8.
