Pietro Germi, though often regarded by scholars as fundamentally a neorealist director who made a transition in mid-career to social comedy, never actually considered himself to be an adherent to the style popularized by Roberto Rossellini. Like several other Italian directors achieving prominence in the late 1940s, notably Alberto Lattuada, Alberto De Santis and, of course, Vittorio DeSica, he produced films notable for breaking with prevailing themes that dealt with the immediate aftermath of World War II. His early works addressed themselves instead to the fundamental, even timeless, social issues affecting postwar Italy and in particular, those exemplified in the poverty of the island of Sicily.
Germi's early films, notably In nome della legge and Il cammino della speranza, owe as much, if not more, to the influence of American director John Ford as they do to neorealism. In Germi's work, Sicily easily replaces Ford's Monument Valley and the island's traditional knife duels supplant the American director's classic showdowns. In all other respects, the fundamental issues in Germi's first few films differ little from a typical John Ford production like Stagecoach. Indeed the themes of the aforementioned Germi films (in In nome della legge, a clash between a young judge and the local Mafia over his attempts to enforce the law and, in Il cammino della speranza, the problem of illegal immigration) deal with problems not too far removed from those of the actual post-Civil War American West.
Interestingly, the fact that Germi dared to propose solutions to the problems that he examined in these and in succeeding films effectively removed him from the realm of pure neorealism which, as construed by Rossellini and his immediate followers, must limit itself merely to the exposition of a particular social condition. It cannot suggest solutions. Unfortunately, in a number of cases (Il cammino della speranza, in particular), the director's solutions were overly romanticized, pat, and simplistic.
During the latter part of the 1950s, Germi began to compress the scope of his social concerns to those affecting the individual and his relationship to the family unit, albeit as components of the larger society. In Il ferroviere and L'uomo di Paglia, however, he continued to be plagued by his penchant for simplistic and overly contrived solutions as well as a tendency to let the films run on too long. They are redeemed to some extent by their realistic portrayals of working class characters which. Though considered melodramatic by many reviewers at the time of their release, these characterizations have come to be more highly regarded.
Germi corrected his problems in the 1960s by changing his narrative style to one dominated by satirical devices. Yet he did not compromise his family-centered social vision. Divorzio all'italiana, for which he won an Academy Award for best screenplay, Sedotta e abbandonata, and Signori e signore all magnify social questions all out of proportion to reality and thus, through the chaos that results, reduce the issues to absurdity.
Divorzio all'italiana, in particular, is a craftsmanlike portrayal of the internal upheavals within a family, set in the oppressive atmosphere of a small Sicilian village. It features the deft use of a moving camera that passes swiftly, almost intimately, through endless groups of gawking townspeople. In addition, the director's use of actors, including Marcello Mastroianni and Daniella Rocca, as well as his own latent sense of humor, make the social commentary in this film quite possibly more penetrating than in his early neorealist films.
Though Germi shifted over the length of his career from social dramas to socio-moral satires, his social concerns and his favorite setting for them—Sicily—remained constant. As is not normally the case with many artists of his stature, his most polished and commercially successful efforts also turned out to be the critical equals of his earlier and more solemn ones.

Darryl White 17 novembre 2021 Finance durable
John Graham, d'Investissements RPC, s'est joint à Darryl White, chef de la direction de BMO Groupe financier, lors de la Conférence de Toronto du Forum économique international des Amériques de cette année. À la tête de l'une des plus grandes caisses de retraite au monde, rares sont les leaders mieux placés pour discuter de l'investissement durable et de l'allocation du capital dans le contexte de la transition énergétique mondiale.
Le point de vue de M. Graham sur la nécessité de respecter le pilier social de l'ESG a été un rappel puissant de l'équilibre complexe que tous les pays, toutes les entreprises et toutes les collectivités doivent trouver sur la voie d'un avenir carboneutre.
Disponible en anglais seulement.
Darryl White:
Hello everyone and welcome back. I'm here having the privilege to lead an amazing team at BMO Financial Group and an even greater privilege to host John Graham, who is the President and CEO at CPP Investments. A little bit about CPP and a little bit about John. CPP Investment plan is among the 20 largest investment funds in the world. They manage more than $500 billion of assets at arm's length from provincial and federal governments. They provide the foundation for 20 million Canadians to contribute and be beneficiaries to their futures and their financial security and retirement. John, a little bit about John.
John was appointed President and CEO in February, I think, of this year. John's got an amazing background. Prior to that, he spent a decade helping shape and execute CPP's strategy and holds an MBA from the University of Toronto and a Ph.D. in Chemistry from the University of Western Ontario.
Before CPP, John spent a lot of time, I think a decade plus, as a research analyst, in fact. And so the science meets the investing audience real time right here with John. Now, this conference is themed 'Redefining Prosperity', and this particular panel is around sustainable investments and capital allocation. So I can't think of actually a better person in this country and maybe not on the planet that we could have this conversation with around sustainable investing and capital allocation. So why don't we start there?
John, you have been quoted as saying that 'climate change is the defining issue of our time.' You've alsosaid that fossil fuel divestment is short on human ingenuity. Talk to us a little bit about how you make the connection between sustainability on your agenda, the accountability and the responsibilities that you have to the members of your plan, and also - this a really, really hard question - also, the
implications for Canada's economy as we think about how we put all this together over the next 20 or 30 years.
John Graham:
Well thanks, Darryl, and thanks for the kind words. There's a lot in that question. And maybe I'll start with a comment on divestment or blanket divestment is a short on human ingenuity, and I'm sure we'll talk more about this later in the session. But one of our principles at CPP Investments is that, blanket divestment is not part of a responsible transition. And we do believe in continuing to invest across the entire economy. Across the entire energy spectrum. And a belief that all players in the economy are going to contribute towards the solution - as we transition to net zero - which we do believe we will. We do believe we will transition to net zero.
But maybe I'll start with who we are as an organization and CPP investments, as you mentioned, we have a single mandate and that's to maximize return without undue risk of loss. And we're here to contribute to the financial security of 20 million Canadians, and that's really what we come in every day to think about.
Climate change is one of the biggest challenges that we face and the planet faces over the next few decades. We've thought a lot about it and we've thought a lot about how it fits with our mandate and how it fits with CPP Investments. And we spent a lot of time thinking about the risks, spent a lot of time thinking about how do we manage our portfolio, how do we manage the transition risk? How do we manage the physical risk in the portfolio? But we've also started to very much come to the view that this is a huge investment opportunity.
We've seen the numbers. It may take 50, 60, $70 trillion for the global economy...
Some think more.
Some think more, maybe 100 trillion. And whatever it is, it's a big number to transition the global economy. And it's not - every company's got to transition. The consumer has to transition. And therein lies a huge investment opportunity for patient capital, for partnership driven capital, for long duration capital. That's the capital CPP Investments has. So we're seeing this as the next ten years, a tremendous opportunity and really fitting with our investment mandate. We can be an investor in the entire economy, from conventional energy to renewable energy to industrial companies and be a partner as these companies transition.
And getting back to me and my quote, on short on human ingenuity and sometimes necessity is the mother of all invention. You mentioned I had a background in science. I know a lot of people from my technical days who work in the energy sector. Some brilliant people who work in the in the energy sector, and we're seeing some amazing examples of innovation, some amazing examples of technology coming out of Canadian companies to help with this energy transition.
Legacy energy companies and new ingenuity and startups.
Exactly. We have a company in our portfolio called Wolf Midstream. It's a company that we seeded and we founded. And they are a conventional midstream company. And they are the owner operator of the Access Pipeline in Alberta. They're also one of the developers and operators of Canada's largest carbon capture and sequestration pipeline: The Alberta Carbon Trunk Line. So they've taken that engineering knowhow and applied it to carbon capture.
And so we see this as an opportunity, and talk about Canada, as an opportunity to actually be a leader and take some of this engineering knowhow, engineering know how in the conventional energy space, and apply it to the energy transition.
You know, as I listen to you... Canada's legacy in energy to date, is that we've had amazing engineering knowhow. We've actually got one of the best ESG track records on the planet from the perspective of comparability. And it sounds to me like your perspective is we have to take advantage of all that, not turn our backs on that and use that as an asset to win in the transition. Do you think we can actually be a leader in the world if we're able to do that?
Certainly I think Canada can be a leader and on the sustainability side, and one of the quotes we say now is that 'sustainability is the new digital.' It's a quote that's out there and this is where there's going to be real investment opportunities. But one of the differences between digital and sustainability sustainability requires scale, requires capital. It's not going to be solved in somebody's garage. It's going to be solved at a large scale with engineering knowhow. Canada has a long track record of that.
I think you're right. I think you're right. Let's go to the social issues. There is a recent investor conference where Steve Schwarzman of Blackstone said that the world is facing such energy shortages that the outcome of that could be social unrest, particularly with some commodities in the commodity complex at or near all time highs. How do you think this crisis will impact the ability for folks like you to invest in the transition and address issues like these that are pretty profound if he's right?
Yeah, it's a it's a great question and is a little bit about my opening remark around a responsible transition. We think about sustainability... 'E', 'S' and 'G'. And we do need to make sure that we don't hammer so hard on the 'E' that the 'S' pops up and becomes an equally big problem. We can't drive hundreds of millions of people into poverty and within the developed market have some
- a really different experience for people where you have some who don't have the same means paying a disproportionate amount for this transition. So we need to be thoughtful. It's a complex issue, requires a complex solution.
As an investor, we take into consideration 'E', 'S' and 'G'. It's not just 'E'. It's thinking, what are the knock on effects? What are the unintended consequences into 'S', which goes back to why we think we need to invest in the economy transition... and invest in the economy transition in a thoughtful way.
It's a pretty cool flywheel when you think about it that way. So if we bring it back to Canada for a second, because this is, you know, this is a global challenge, it's hugely complicated. It's complicated here in Canada as well for some of the reasons we've discussed. Let's talk about the ecosystem a little bit. As you and I sit here as participants in the financial system, how should we think about the need for connectivity, leverage cooperation as between governments, the financial intermediaries or principals, corporates and other parts of that ecosystem here, here in this country in particular?
Yeah, it's a good question and a couple of comments. Getting back to scale. This is a scale problem. This is a scale issue and the solution will be one of scale. So that by definition will require cooperation. By definition will require some coordination. We as an investor - as I mentioned when I began - we have an investment only mandate and we're here to drive investment returns for our contributors and beneficiaries.
But we are going to and we have been taking a very engaged approach, engaging with also sharing our perspective. This is what will make this a good investment. This is what has to be done to attract capital, not just from Canada, but from around the world. So it will require coordination and it will require cooperation.
Yeah. And by the way, I'm with you 100%. I know you're supposed to be answering the questions here, but I have a point of view, which is shared. I think that we frankly - I think we have a long way to go on the amount of cooperation we could have in that sort of triangle as between the government bodies, the corporate entities, the financial system, and you might even put academia and science in the middle of that. All of that. I think that there's a huge opportunity and I think that there's a lot more, frankly, that we can all do.
I'm going to kind of pull the lens a little bit further back. We've talked a lot about sustainability so far, but we're also talking about capital deployment, broadly speaking. So as you look at the planet, you guys are investors all over the world. Are there particular countries or regions or themes that you're thinking about geographically right now? And is there anything that Canadians could learn from your experiences around the world? What do you how do you how do you see the opportunities globally, sustainability or otherwise, at this point?
Yeah. Yeah. One of the things that I do firmly believe that for CPP Investments, our asset bases is growing and continuing to grow and to prudently invest the assets, we need to be a global investor. We need to have the capabilities, the relationships, the infrastructure to be a global investor. And this is for a few reasons.
And I'm sorry to interrupt you. You very much are, right? For a portion of the audience who may not know a pretty significant share of your asset portfolio is outside of Canada.
Yeah, as of today, 85 percent of our assets are outside of Canada. And we do have, really a quite diverse portfolio in Asia, U.S., Latin America, Europe. So we are very global. We have nine offices around the globe. So we have regional representation in Asia, Europe, Latin America. And we feel this is important - as an investor, one, it provides diversification, provides diversification, and we really saw the benefit of that over the past two years. We saw a real divergence in how economies perform, especially during some of the early days of COVID, and that diversification was a real benefit to us -
By asset class and geography?
Starting with geography. Yeah. And then with asset class, too. Somewhat. It also broadens the opportunity set and it - which provides greater opportunities for value added. So we will continue to build out our global capabilities. And with respect to where we're seeing the real opportunities, it's actually very asset class specific... And it really is asset class specific. As I look through our groups and look at where they're active.
I mean, we continue to see a huge amount of activity in the U.S. The private equity market right now in the U.S. is incredibly active and probably the most active we've seen it in years. Our credit team is actually being quite active over in Asia and Europe right now and seeing some good opportunities over there.
But maybe I'll a couple of minutes on emerging markets and we have been, I would say a leader, in investing in emerging markets and building out our capabilities in emerging markets. And part of that is for the same reason around diversification. And emerging markets is a term that sometimes - it maybe seems almost a little antiquated at times because I think of it is from a GDP perspective. We want to be able to invest in the biggest countries in the world.
China, which is an emerging market, is the second biggest economy of the world. May very well be the biggest economy in the world. And so we are continuing to look at China, look at India, look at Latin America... again with the belief that, we want to tap into global growth and we want to tap into these markets that are going to continue to grow.
Yeah, I heard someone say once there are no small countries, there are only small markets. And there are growth rates in small markets that can be pretty attractive for all of us, if you do it - if you do it right.
John, this has been fantastic. Thank you for taking the time to do this today. I think that the audience members will recognize that John isn't only a great Canadian, but the conversation around sustainability and capital allocation - we have embodied in John the scientist meets the financier - and thinks about these things really, really deeply, as does all of your team at CPP Investments, starting with how you get a return. As you pointed out, you have a single mandate, but the implications of your mandate are far broader than that, and I think that the template is actually one for a lot of people to think about.
You may have half a trillion dollars that people and trust you with today, but when that's another half a trillion dollars, it sure isn't all going to be invested in Canada. And it sure isn't all going to be invested in one space, so the diversification is really exciting, and I think that's a great lesson for all of us as we think about how we put together that cooperation as between the various sectors because it's just, it's just so, so important.
So thank you. Thank you for doing this today.
Thank you. It's a pleasure.

MAUNEY UNDERGOES SHOULDER SURGERY
J.B. Mauney was poised to win the Calgary Stampede for the third time in his career when the Monster Energy rider sustained a season-ending right shoulder injury.
The North Carolina native had made the 8-second whistle when he found himself underneath Cowahbunga. Despite scoring 90.5 points for his second-round win in four days, his shoulder wound up being stepped on.
Dr. Tandy Freeman later PBR.com that Mauney "was in a bad position."
"It was in a position where instead of coming out the front, it came out the bottom," said Freeman, while explaining the severity of the injury. "That is what leads to this kind of stuff. His arm was up over his head and extended and when he landed and that bull stepped on him it forced his arm so that it came out the bottom and knocked the bone off in the process."
Mauney was injured on Friday in the final round Pool B.
Despite the intense pain, once medics on-sight had gotten his dislocated shoulder back in place, Mauney initially thought he would be able to compete in the Championship Round on Sunday.
Unfortunately, after a trip to a local hospital for further evaluation, Mauney then told a reporter for the Calgary Herald, "I broke the ball in my shoulder, tore my bicep tendon, tore another muscle on the backside, tore the capsule in it."
"I told the doctors, 'Good luck putting that puzzle back together.'"
On Monday, Mauney and his wife traveled to Dallas, where Freeman performed a six-hour operation on Tuesday.
Freeman told PBR.com, "This isn't the same sort of thing that most of the guys get fixed. Instead of the ligament tearing off the socket, his tore off the bone. It wasn't just a little bit of the ligament. It tore off the entire front half of his shoulder. And it tore the rotator cuff tendon completely off. I don't know if I ever saw that tendon completely torn off. I have seen most of it torn off, but I never have seen it completely torn off."
In a typical situation Freeman would insert 4-6 anchors to stabilize a dislocated shoulder. According to PBR.com, Freeman used 13 anchors and one screw to hold Mauney's reconstructed right shoulder in place.
He is expected to miss the next six months of competition, including the PBR World Finals.
In addition to the recovery time, Freeman said Mauney will require a significant amount of rehab.
"There is a lot to (recovery from this injury), but he acts like he is going to do what it takes," Freeman said. "If he doesn't, he will be watching bull riding."
Injuries are certainly part of the most dangerous game, however, baring a miracle, this one brings to a close Mauney's pursuit of a record-tying third world title. He won his first title in 2013 and again in 2015.
Instead the 30-year-old, 12-year veteran is now faced with preparing himself to return to competition in 2018.
He'll turn 31 in January, a week after the 2018 season starts.
In Mauney fashion, he masked the disappointment with a light sense of dry humor when he told the Herald, "that's bull riding and the way it goes."
"When you've been riding bulls as long as I have, you get used to it," he concluded. "It's going to happen, everybody knows that. It wouldn't have been the exact time I'd like for it to happen, but you're going to get hurt and that's all part of it."

Any content developer can tell you that having a solid quality assurance (QA) process will ensure deliverables that hit the mark. From our years of developing educational content development, we've identified the following five keys to quality assurance.
Both client-provided and in-house training can ensure that project team members are up to speed on what is required for a specific project. Senior project staff can rally a team's focus and confirm workflow readiness. Acceptance criteria checklists provide the development team with clear direction and requirements.
Instead of jumping into a large project full-steam, it's helpful to begin with a small calibration batch to give the development team a chance to get accustomed to the specifications and the client a chance to ensure their requirements are being met. Feedback can be provided and utilized by the development team to hone their understanding and improve quality.
A development workflow with collaboration and built-in overlapping reviews adds another layer of vital QA. Multiple rounds of review and revision lead to high-quality deliverables. Building adequate cushioning into your staffing and timelines gives you the elbow room for thorough and efficient QA.
We've created a handy QA checklist that you can use when developing educational content.
Editorial and project leads apply their QA passes in layers. One QA pass may focus on content accuracy, another exclusively on style standards. A different reviewer looks carefully for placement consistency on the page or screen. Voice, instructional flow, and clarity of user instructions are equally important, especially when there are multiple writers on a development team. It's important to carefully examine the quality of final output for print materials (e.g., binding and usability), and test the functionality of digital components.

Coast Guard Cutter Mustang to Hold Change of Command on Friday

After receiving his commission as chief warrant officer in June 1999, he completed tours as first lieutenant aboard the Chase in San Diego and as commanding officer of the Cuttyhunk in Port Angeles, Wash.
In May 2005, he was promoted to lieutenant and assumed the duties of operations officer for Patrol Boat Forces Southwest Asia and liaison naval officer to commander Destroyer Squadron Fifty in Bahrain.

The Coast Guard cutter Mustang was built by Bollinger Machine Shop and Shipyard in Lockport, LA and launched in September 1986. It is the tenth 110-foot Island Class Patrol Boat built and the first to serve in the Pacific Ocean. In November of 1986, Mustang relieved the Coast Guard cutter Cape Jellison as the Coast Guard's northernmost patrol boat stationed in Seward. Mustang spends roughly 150 days a year at sea conducting homeland security, federal fisheries law enforcement and search and rescue missions.
Over the past two years Mustang has traveled over 12,000 miles ranging from Dixon Entrance in Southeast Alaska to Kodiak Island southwest of the Kenai Peninsula. Mustang is billeted for 16 enlisted crewmembers and two officers.
The 110-foot Island Class Coast Guard cutters are built upon a British patrol boat design created by Vosper-Thornycraft. The vessels replaced the Coast Guard's 95-foot Cape Class patrol boat fleet in the late 1980s.
The cutter Mustang is named for Mustang Island located 25 miles east of Corpus Christi, Texas the Gulf of Mexico. Mustang Island received its name from the Spaniards who first brought wild horses or "Mestenos" to the island in the 1800's.

Last September, I started a new bullet journal – a Leuchtturm 1917 (yep, the same journal literally everyone loves). I still felt super invested in my original tracking/planning methods but knew I wanted to be a little more arty with this notebook. So I kept all my monthly spreads going as well as making an effort to create an arty spread every now and then to commemorate special occassions.
Moving through the autumn, I fell in love with this creative expression more and more, and the ratio of organisational-to-artsy pages changed significantly. By Christmas, I had poetry, drawings and plenty of watercolour paint sloshed around the dotted pages of my journal; I didn't see that coming to an end any time soon. So I asked for a ton of stationery for Christmas…aannd once that happens, there is no going back.
January was its own adventure. I accidentally left my bullet journal at home when I went on holiday – this was an emotional rollercoaster in itself (which you can read all about here). But it 'forced' me to move outside the pages of that notebook and create for the sheer love of creating. When I was reunited with my journal, I did not want that creative spark to die on me as a sacrifice for ritualistic tracking.
Since then, I have made a conscious effort to keep my mind open to bullet journal approaches: I still religiously use my weekly spreads as a planning tool but make sure to get creative with all the pages in between.
For February, I want to continue this trend. I know I have a busy month coming up, university-wise, so I don't think I'll have as much time as I'd like to for arty pages. I'm going to stick to this more creative method for the moment though as it's relaxing, and having a solid destressing technique is vital for maintaining mental wellbeing.
Omg u opened a bujo account! Me too. Just followed u there. 🙂 I keep changing styles but I think its all about how it makes u happy right? Regards.
Yay! Do I follow you back?
I needed to see this. I am new to bullet journaling and get so caught up in just tracking. I remember I started it because I wanted to have a place to put all types of creativity, not just to track productivity. Thank you for the inspiration.
I love your bullet journal posts, Alys! You are so talented. Your colour choice for the February pages at the end there are gorgeous! Also, I don't know if you've posted it before and I've missed it, but those doodle boxes are a great idea.
Thank Ruth! Your comments are always so kind 🙂 I like the idea of two separate journals too!
Love it, can't wait to get more into my new bullet journal so I can incorporate some of these ideas!

Against mathematician Anand Kumar, children of Super-30 have started attacking themselves. In 2018, Anand Kumar has claimed to have qualified for JEE Advanced of 26 students of super-30, whereas students studying in their own institute have alleged that only three students have been able to qualify in JEE-Advance. Anand Kumar's name was made public on the name of Onirjeet Goswami, Suraj Kumar, Yash Kumar and Suryakant. It is a student of a coaching institute located in Suraj Kumar Kota (Rajasthan).
Gagan, who is present with Anand as a Super-30 student in various programs, says that Onyarjeet is a super-30 student, and the other three children came from the second coaching institute after JEE Main. They promised to give them a large amount as scholarship. According to Gagan, Onirjit got 128 points in Advance while Cutoff was 126. Due to poor rank, Onirjit has not been nominated in IIT. In addition, Anupam and Gagan passed in the SC category. Both of these names have not been made public by Anand Kumar.
According to the students, Anand Kumar used to say in class that if you are connected to Super 30, you will get a chance to work in the film. According to Anupam, five children had failed in chemistry. The main reason for this was that the teachers of this topic were not the same. In August, many boys decided to leave the coaching, then assured of providing scholarships and teachers soon.
Student Ramkumar told that in the name of poor children, students of renowned schools used to study in Super-30. Shekhar Satyarkar, Aditya Anand, Suraj Khawar were students of Resonance Quota with him. Preet Ranjan is a student of DPS Bokaro and Onirjit Akash Institute. 1 The respect of both is at stake: According to Gagan, all the children were deposited on the day of Advance Result and it was said that this time the result is bad. With this, the respect of students and students is at stake. Dummy rank card will save everyone's respect. Majority of children protested. Also, the fake list of qualifying candidates was not released.
• Mathematician Anand Kumar, who taught himself in the mathematics of Super-30, taught only claims that he was a liar.
22 were studying in Super-30 and 26 were qualified.
Gagan said that 23 students were included in super-30 last year. One of them was selected in the NDA. 22 children are connected to Super-30. After JEE Main, 15-20 children were brought from Kota or other coaching institutes of other cities. Aditya and Shekhar were present in both the 2017 and 2018 celebrations, but both of them have not been nominated in IIT. Ramkumar, Arpit, Rajat, Prince Raju, Deepak, Suraj Khabar, Abhishek etc. were the original students of Super-30 who could not qualify JEE Advance. After the result, unsuccessful students in the group of successful students were also placed in front of the channels.

Biografia e carriera pornografica
È apparsa per la prima volta in un film pornografico nel 1983 con lo pseudonimo di Shelly Rey. L'apice della carriera, tuttavia, lo ha raggiunto negli anni novanta, quando ha lavorato non-stop nel settore del cinema a luci rosse e ha ricevuto svariati riconoscimenti, tra cui gli XRCO e gli AVN Halls of Fame.

Debi è riapparsa su MySpace dopo 12 anni di assenza dalle scene. In un'intervista rilasciata al giornalista pornografico Gene Ross ha dichiarato che, nel frattempo, si era sposata (per poi divorziare) e aveva avuto tre figli. Ha quindi ripreso in considerazione l'ipotesi di ritornare nelle scene ma per adesso ha lanciato il suo sito web personale.

Nel 2008 è rientrata nell'industria pornografica per la Zero Tolerance Entertaiment, girando insieme a James Deen You've Got a Mother Thing Cumming 3. Nel 2010 ha fondato la sua casa di produzione, la Debi Diamond Films. Nel 2013 ha girato la sua ultima scena e con oltre 660 film, 7 AVN e 5 XRCO la sua carriera si è conclusa.

Q: IReport with a big title I have a report with a big title, so this report will have 2 pages with start text, and a small detail page.
How can I create a report with a big title, or 2 different reports to append on to another?
Any Ideia?
My version of iReport is 0.5.

A: I had a similar problem.  I solved it by creating a sub report and using it's Detail section as the report's title page.  I then put the sub report into a group header on the main report which would print first on the report.  It was a little hokey, but it worked.

R. A. Torrey :: The Coming of Christ
THE COMING OF CHRIST
By Professor Charles R. Erdman, D. D.,
Princeton Theological Seminary,
The return of Christ is a fundamental doctrine of the Christian faith. It is embodied in hymns of hope; it forms the climax of the creeds; it is the sublime motive for evangelistic and missionary activity; and daily it is voiced in the inspired prayer: "Even so: Come, Lord Jesus" [Revelation 22:20].
It is peculiarly a Scriptural doctrine. It is not, on the one hand, a dream of ignorant fanatics, nor, on the other, a creation of speculative theologians; but it is a truth divinely revealed, and recorded in the Bible with marked clearness, emphasis and prominence.
Like the other great truths of revelation it is a controverted doctrine. The essential fact is held universally by all who admit the authority of Scripture; but as to certain incidental, although important, elements of the teaching, there is difference of opinion among even the most careful and reverent students. Any consideration of the theme demands, therefore, modesty, humility and abundant charity. According to the familiar view outlined in this paper, the Bible describes the "second coming of Christ" as personal, glorious, imminent.
1. HIS COMING WILL BE PERSONAL
By personal is meant all that may be suggested by the words visible, bodily, local; and all that may be contrasted with that which is spiritual, providential, figurative. Of course, the spiritual presence of Christ is a blessed reality; one of the most comforting and inspiring of truths is the teaching that Christ does come to each believer, by His Holy Spirit, and dwells within, and empowers for service and suffering and growth in grace; but this is to be held in harmony with the other blessed truth that Christ will some day literally appear again in bodily form, and "we shall see Him" and shall then "be like Him," when "we see Him as He is" [1 John 3:2].
Nor yet did that special manifestation of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost fulfill the promise of Christ's return. Subsequent to Pentecost, Peter urged the Jews to repent in order that Jesus, whom for a time "the heavens had received," might be "sent back again;" he wrote his epistles of comfort based upon the hope of a returning Lord, while Paul and the other inspired Apostles, long after Pentecost, emphasized the coming of Christ as the highest incentive for life and service.
According to the interpretation of others, Christ is said "to come" in various providential events of history, as notably in the destruction of Jerusalem. This tragedy of history is supposed by many to fulfill the prophecies spoken by Christ in His great discourse on the Mount of Olives, recorded in Matthew 24, and Mark 13, and Luke 21. When one combines these predictions, it becomes evident that the capture of the holy city by Titus was a real but only a partial fulfillment of the words of Christ. As in the case of so many Old Testament prophecies, the nearer event furnished the colors in which were depicted scenes and occurrences which belonged to a distant future, and in this case to "the end of the age." When Jerusalem fell, the people of God were not delivered nor the enemies of God punished, nor did "the sign of the Son of Man" appear in the heavens, as was predicted of the time when He comes again; and long after the fall of the city, John wrote in Gospel and in Apocalypse of the coming of the King.
Nor is the coming of Christ to be confused with death. It is true that this dark messenger ushers us into an experience which is, for the believer, one of great blessedness; "to depart is to be with Christ which is very far better" [Philippians 1:23], "to be absent from the body" is "to be at home with the Lord" [2 Corinthians 5:8]; but death is for us inseparable from pain and loss and sorrow and tears and anguish; and even those who are now with their Lord, in heavenly joy, are waiting for their bodies of glory and for the rewards and reunions which will be theirs at the appearing of Christ.
More marvelous than the scenes at Pentecost, more startling than the fall of Jerusalem, more blessed than the indwelling of the Spirit or the departure to be with the Lord, will be the literal, visible, bodily, return of Christ. No event may seem less probable to unaided human reason; no event is more certain in the light of inspired Scripture. "This same Jesus which is taken up from you into heaven shall so come in like manner as ye have seen Him go into heaven." "Behold, He cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see Him" (Acts 1:11; Revelation 1:7).
2. HIS COMING, GLORIOUS
This coming of Christ is to be glorious, not only in its attendant circumstances, but also in its effects upon the Church and the world. Our Lord predicted that He would return "in His own glory, and the glory of His Father, and of the holy angels" (Luke 9:26). He will then be revealed in His Divine majesty. Once during His earthly ministry, on the mount of transfiguration, there was given to His followers a glimpse of the royal splendor He had for a time laid aside, and in which He will again appear.
As on the great day of atonement the high priest put off his usual robes "for glory and for beauty" [Exodus 28:2, 40], and appeared in spotless white, when he offered the sacrifices for sin and went into the holy place to intercede for the waiting people, so our Great High Priest laid aside the robes of His imperial majesty when stooping from heaven He assumed His garb of sinless flesh, and offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice and entered into the holy places not made with hands [Hebrews 9:11], to appear in the presence of God for us; but as the high priest again assumed his garments of scarlet and blue and purple and gold when he came forth to complete his work in the presence of the people, so Christ, when He returns to bless, and to receive the homage of the world, will be manifest in His Divine glory (Hebrews 9:24-28). As He appeared to Isaiah in his vision [Isaiah 6:1-5], to the disciples on the holy mount [Matthew 17:2; Mark 9:2], to Saul on his way to Damascus [Acts 9:3], to John on Patmos, [Revelation 1:9-16], so will the Son of Man appear when, as He promised, He is seen "sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven" (Matthew 26:64). Nothing could be more natural than such a triumphant return of the risen, ascended Lord. What a pathetic picture Christ would present in the history of the race, if, after all His claims and promises, the world should see Him, last of all, hanging on a cross as a malefactor, or laid lifeless in a tomb! "He was despised and rejected of men;" [Isaiah 53:3]; but He is to return again "with power and great glory," [Matthew 24:30; Luke 21:27], attended by thousands of the heavenly host. As the Epistle to the Hebrews strikingly says: "When He again bringeth in the first born into the inhabited earth He saith, And let all the angels of God worship Him" (Hebrews 1:6).
"Thou art coming, O my Saviour,
Thou art coming, O my King,
In Thy beauty all resplendent;
In Thy glory all transcendent;
Well may we rejoice and sing:
Coming! in the opening East
Herald brightness slowly swells;
Coming! O my glorious Priest,
Hear we not Thy golden bells."
Then Christ will reign in glory over all the world. It is true that now "all power" has been given to Him "in heaven and on earth" [Matthew 28:18], but that power has not been fully manifest; "we see not yet all things put under Him" [Hebrews 2:8]. He has "sat down on the right hand of God" [Luke 22:69], but He is "henceforth expecting till His enemies be made the footstool of His feet" [Hebrews 10:13]. He is now reigning, seated on His Father's throne; but this world is still in reality a revolted province, and Christ is yet to sit upon His own throne; then "before Him every knee will bow, and every tongue confess that He is Lord" (Hebrews 10:12-13; Philippians 2:10-11).
These expressions need not be interpreted with such crass literalness as to suggest that Christ will rule visibly in some one earthly locality, "establishing in Jerusalem an oriental court;" but they at least mean that the coming of Christ will be followed by the universal reign of Christ. "When the Son of Man shall come in His glory, and all the angels with Him, then shall He sit on the throne of His glory" (Matthew 25:31). He will determine who may enter and who must be excluded from His kingdom. He will then say: "Come ye blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world" [Matthew 25:34]. Then will be fulfilled His prediction: "Not every one that saith unto Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven, but he that doeth the will of My Father who is in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, Lord, Lord,—and then will I profess unto them, I never knew you, depart from Me, ye that work iniquity" (Matthew 7:21-23). He will be the supreme Judge, but He will also be manifest as the universal Ruler in His perfected kingdom. Then the voices will be heard proclaiming: "The kingdom of the world is become the kingdom of our Lord, and of His Christ; and He shall reign forever and ever" (Revelation 11:15).
In this glory of Christ His followers are to share. The resurrection of the dead will take place when He returns: "For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive. But each in his own order: Christ the first fruits; then they that are Christ's at His coming" [1 Corinthians 15:22-23]. The body of the believer is thus to be raised in glory. "It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption: it is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory" [1 Corinthians 15:42-43]. As to how the spirits now with Christ are to he united with their resurrection bodies, the Bible is absolutely silent; but we know that this will be at the coming of the Lord.
Then, too, the bodies of living believers will be glorified, and made deathless and immortal like the body of their Divine Lord. "For our citizenship is in heaven; whence also we wait for a Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: who shall fashion anew the body of our humiliation, that it may be conformed to the body of His glory" (Philippians 3:20-21). Sometimes it is carelessly said that "nothing is so sure as death"; one thing is more sure; it is this: some Christians will never die. One generation of believers will be living when Christ returns, and they will be translated, without the experience of death. What "is mortal will be swallowed up of life" [2 Corinthians 5:4]. They never will be unclothed," but "clothed upon" with the glory of immortality. "Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump; for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed" (1 Corinthians 15:51-52; 2 Corinthians 5:4).
Then, also, will be the blessed reunion in glory of the risen and the transfigured followers of Christ. "For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we that are alive, that are left unto the coming of the Lord, shall in no wise precede them that are fallen asleep. For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven, with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first; then we that are alive, that are left, shall together with them be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord" (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18).
"Some from earth, from glory some,
Severed only 'Till He Come.' "
The time of the return of the Lord will be, furthermore, the time of the reward of His servants. The Son of Man is likened to a nobleman who has gone "into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return" [Luke 19:12]. He has entrusted various talents to his servants with the command to use them wisely, until his return. When he has "come back again, having received the kingdom," then he "maketh a reckoning with them" [Luke 19:15]. It is popularly said, and in a sense it is true, that when our loved ones go to be with Christ "they have gone to their reward"; but more strictly speaking, the full reward of the blessed awaits the coming of Christ. Whatever may be meant by being "set over many things," or having "authority over ten cities," the complete recompense of the faithful is "at the resurrection of the just" (Matthew 25:14-23; Luke 19:11-27; Luke 14:14).
That the real coronation day of the Christian is not at death but at "the appearing of Christ" was strikingly suggested by Paul when, realizing that he was to die before the Lord returned, he gave to Timothy his triumphant farewell: "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith: henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord the righteous Judge shall give to me at that day: and not to me only, but also to all them that have loved His appearing" (2 Timothy 4:7-8). So Peter encourages pastors to be faithful, by the familiar promise: "And when the chief Shepherd shall be manifested, ye shall receive the crown of glory that fadeth not away" (1 Peter 5:1-4). In large measure this reward will consist in being changed into a moral likeness to Christ. This is far more marvelous than the transfiguration of our bodies, but no less real. "Beloved, now are we the children of God, and it is not yet made manifest what we shall be. We know that if He shall be manifested, we shall be like Him; for we shall see Him even as He is" (1 John 3:1-3). The reward which awaits the followers of Christ further includes the fulfillment of the blessed prophecies which declare the saints are to reign with Christ… "Know ye not that the saints shall judge the earth—Know ye not that we shall judge angels?" "If we endure we shall also reign with Him." "I appoint unto you a kingdom—and ye shall sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel." (1 Corinthians 6:2; 2 Timothy 2:12; Luke 22:30). Whatever may be denoted by promises so full of wonder and mystery, they do not mean that "the saints are to rule on earth in the flesh." Believers will previously have been "raised in glory," transfigured, translated. As coregents with their Lord they may be privileged to perform blessed ministries for the world, but they nevertheless will belong to His immortal and heavenly kingdom. "They are like the angels of God…being the children of the resurrection" (Luke 20:35-36).
Such a rule of Christ and His people must secure unparalleled blessedness for the world. "The end of the world" does not mean, in prophecy, the end of the earth and the destruction of its inhabitants; but the end of "the present age" [Galatians 1:4], which is to be followed by an age of glory. The "present evil age" is predicted to close amid scenes of fiery judgment upon the enemies of God, and with portents and convulsions which will affect the very earth itself; but the results will be what is figuratively described as the "new heavens and the new earth wherein dwelleth righteousness" [2Pe 2:13]. Nature itself will become more beautiful and joyous. "The whole creation which is groaning and travailing in pain together until now will be delivered from the bondage of corruption unto the liberty of the glory of the children of God" (Romans 8:21). In spite of the sin and failures of man, we are not to look for the destruction of this globe, but for an era when the true full life of humanity will be realized, when all shall know the Lord from the least unto the greatest, when all art and science and social institutions shall be Christian, when "nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore" (Isaiah 2:1-4). Such an age, of which poets have sung and philosophers have dreamed, such an era as psalmists, and prophets, and apostles have promised, will dawn at the coming of the King, Inspired by such a hope the waiting Church has learned to sing:
"Come, Lord, and tarry not;
Bring the long looked for day;
O, why these years of waiting here,
These ages of delay?
"Come, and make all things new;
Build up this ruined earth;
Restore our faded Paradise,
Creation's second birth.
"Come, and begin Thy reign
Of everlasting peace;
Come, take the kingdom to Thyself,
Great King of righteousness."
3. IMMINENT
The Bible further describes the coming of Christ as imminent. It is an event which may occur in any lifetime. Whatever difficulties the fact involves, there is no doubt that all the inspired writers and their fellow Christians believed that Christ might return in their generation. This has been the normal attitude of the Church ever since. Paul describes believers as men "who have turned to God from idols" and who "wait for His Son from heaven" [1 Thessalonians 1:9-10]. Christians are further described as "those that wait for Him," and as "those that love His appearing." They are everywhere in the New Testament exhorted to "watch," and to be ready for the return of their Lord. His coming is their constant encouragement and inspiration and hope. (1 Thessalonians 4:10; 2 Peter 3:8-10; Matthew 24:42; Mark 13:35, 37; Luke 21:36; Philippians 4:5).
However, "imminent" does not mean "immediate." Confusion of these ideas has led some writers to assert that "Paul and the early Christians were mistaken in their views as to the Lord's return." But, when Paul used such a phrase as "we that are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord" [1 Thessalonians 4:15], he meant simply to identify himself with his fellow Christians, and to suggest that, if he lived until Christ came, their blessed experience would also be his. He could not have said, "ye that are alive and remain;" that would have indicated that Paul was to die first. This he did not then know. He believed that the Lord might return in his life time; he never asserted that He would.
"Imminence" as related to our Lord's return indicates uncertainty as to time, but possibility of nearness. "Take ye heed, watch, for ye know not when the time is" (Mark 13:33). Such statements rebuke those who have brought the doctrine into disrepute by announcing dates for "the end of the world," and by setting times for the coming of Christ. So, too, they suggest caution to those who assert that the age is now drawing to its close; it may be, but of this there is no certainty. These Scriptural exhortations to watch seem to contradict, also, those who teach that a "Millennium," a thousand years or a protracted period of righteousness, must intervene between the present time and the advent of Christ.
Those who hold this last view are commonly called "Post-Millennialists" to distinguish them from "Pre-Millennialists," who hold that the return of Christ will precede and usher in such an age of universal blessedness.
The great objection to the Pre-Millennial position is the apparent prediction of 2 Peter 3, that at the coming of Christ, in "the day of the Lord," the earth will be destroyed; there could then be no place for a millennium. The difficulty in the Post-Millennial theory is the repeated description of this present age as one of mingled good and evil, in which iniquity, as well as righteousness, continues to develop uninterruptedly; there is thus no time for a millennium before the Lord returns. As to the passage from Peter, it is obviously no more subversive of one of these theories than of the other. No one can possibly review the picture, which the Apostle draws in his two epistles, of the apostasy and skepticism and godlessness already prevailing and surely deepening as "the day of the Lord" draws near, and find any place for a previous millennium before "that day." The predictions of fiery judgments and consequent "new heavens and new earth" must be read in connection with Isaiah 65 and Isaiah 66, from which Peter is quoting. It will then be seen that these expressions are in-so-far figurative that the earth still continues with its life, its nations, its progress, after these judgments are over. Terrific convulsions, and governmental, social and cosmic changes, only introduce a new and better age. So, too, "the day of the Lord" is a familiar phrase, and as we read Zechariah 14 we see that while, in that day, the Lord comes amidst appalling portents, His coming and the day itself are followed by a scene of great blessedness on this same earth; the Nile is still flowing in its course and the nations are going up to Jerusalem to worship. (Note also that in 2 Peter 3:10 the most ancient manuscripts do not read "burned up" but "discovered.")
There are other positive statements of Scripture which intimate that the millennium follows the coming of Christ.
According to Daniel, it is after the Son of Man comes with the clouds of heaven that He is given "dominion and glory and a kingdom, that all peoples, nations and languages should serve Him,—and the kingdom and the dominion and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven," are "given to the people of the saints of the Most High;—and all dominions shall serve and obey Him" (Daniel 7:13-14, 27). According to the Psalms, the appearing of the Lord, in flaming fire upon His adversaries, prepares the way for the establishment of His glorious kingdom, as "He comes to rule the world with righteousness and the peoples with equity" (Psalm 96, Psalm 97, Psalm 98, etc.). According to Paul (2 Thessalonians 1 and 2 Thessalonians 2) the advent described by Daniel is not to an earth which is enjoying millennial peace, but it is "in flaming fire" to destroy an existing "Man of Sin" whose career is the culmination of the lawlessness already manifest and to continue until the personal coming of Christ. According to our Lord Himself His return is to bring "the regeneration," not the destruction of the world (Matthew 19:28; Luke 22:28-30). But this rule of blessedness is preceded by judgments that come "as a snare on all the earth" (Luke 21:29-36). According to Peter, "seasons of refreshing" and "the restitution of all things," not annihilation of the globe, will come with the return of Christ (Acts 3:19-21). According to John, the coming of Christ (Revelation 19) precedes the millennium (Revelation 20).
However, great the divergence of views among students of prophecy may seem to be, and in spite of the many varieties of opinion among the representatives of the two schools which have been mentioned in passing, the points of agreement are far more important. The main difference is as to the order, rather than as to the reality of events.
The great body of believers are united in expecting both an age of glory and a personal return of Christ. As to many related events they differ; but as to the one great precedent condition of that coming age or that promised return of the Lord there is absolute harmony of conviction: the Gospel must first be preached to all nations (Matthew 24:14). The Church must continue to "make disciples of all the nations—even unto the end of the age" (Matthew 28:19-20).
This is therefore a time, not for unkindly criticism of fellow Christians, but for friendly conference; not for disputing over divergent views, but for united action; not for dogmatic assertion of prophetic programs, but for the humble acknowledgment that "we know in part" [1 Corinthians 13:9, 12]; not for idle dreaming, but for the immediate task of evangelizing a lost world.
For such effort, no one truth is more inspiring, than that of the return of Christ. None other can make us sit more lightly by the things of time, none other is more familiar as a Scriptural motive to purity, holiness, patience, vigilance, love. Strengthened by this blessed hope let us press forward with passionate zeal to the task that awaits us:
"Till o'er our ransomed nature
The Lamb for sinners slain,
Redeemer, King, Creator,
In bliss returns to reign!"
