She decided it was her mission to bring coaching and self-development techniques back into the industry. Hannah now delivers 1:1 coaching, resiliency building workshops and cultural change programmes to a variety of organisations, finding the need for such interventions arising in both charity and corporate settings.
Hannah specialises in resiliency building and advocates the notion that self-care is a priority not a luxury especially when carrying out challenging work. Hannah promotes coaching as an emotional, spiritual and intellectual form of self-care. She also facilitates workshops on stress signals, finding focus, perfectionism, boundaries and self-management, digital detoxing and courageous conversations, and has delivered such sessions both in the charity sector, and in the corporate sector at organisations like Maxus, Mindshare, MGOMD and Omnicom. Hannah is a great coach for anyone who has lost sight of who they really are due to ongoing demands either at work or at home, bringing clients back to themselves in a safe and powerful way.
Hannah is an introvert, and so is naturally able to discuss deep concerns and issues with people. Hannah is also highly intuitive and has an ability to connect clients to how they feel about a topic rather than what their 'chimp chatter' might indicate.

Jacques Dupin & Ariane Lelong-Mainaud, Joan Miró. Catalogue Raisonné. Paintings, Paris, 2001, vol. III, no. 981, illustrated in colour p. 243
A powerful and exceptionally beautiful testament to the friendship between two of the greatest artists of the twentieth century – Joan Miró and Alberto Giacometti – Peinture combines Miró's love of signs and symbols with a thematic narrative that is at once passionate, lyrical and intensely creative. The work presents a mix of poetic lyricism, radical abstraction, and semiotic complexity that was ground-breaking among the avant-garde during this period. Dedicated to Alberto and his wife Annette, it forms part of a group of pictures painted in 1954 that Miró gave to his closest friends and supporters, including the gallerists Paule and Adrien Maeght, Joan Prats (fig. 1) and Louis G. Clayeux.
The majestic ultramarine blue ground used in the present work harks back to the 'dream paintings' of the late 1920s (fig. 2). In 1925 Miró began a series of pictures in which he abandoned the more figurative manner of representation he had hitherto used and concentrated on a new visual idiom. The use of one or two intensely rich colours also became a hallmark of the period, and in Peinture-Poésie Miró declared that blue was the colour of his dreams. The blue used in many of the 'dream paintings' is the quintessential feature of works from this period and became highly influential for a later generation of artists such as Mark Rothko and Yves Klein. Isabelle Monod-Fontaine writes: 'the colour blue (or azul as Miró termed it, in Spanish derived from Arabic) is generally associated with spirituality, implicitly referring to an 'above' of mellifluous whisperings, something like Mallarmé's Azure' (I. Monod-Fontaine, in Joan Miró, 1917-1934 (exhibition catalogue), Musée National d'Art Moderne, Paris, 2004, p. 71).
The present work exemplifies the expressive power of images. In it Miró is reliant upon the lexicon of signs and symbols that he had developed over the years. Discussing the works of 1952-54 Jacques Dupin wrote: 'To study the form, their distribution and their composition, to elucidate the rhythms and the distribution of the colours, gets us nowhere. Precisely because the artist has not "elaborated", but has let us come face to face with the pure creative act itself, our instruments of investigation are useless. And yet the brutal forms thus projected are neither arbitrary nor are they mere products of some automatism. They are always related to Miró's vocabulary of signs and other elements of his language, but they are spontaneous; they are not "worked up" emanations of this language, but a deliberate simplification of it. Hence their expressive power is all the greater; their energy has been caught at the source and let go at once, the sign being the condensed vehicle of subterranean energy that otherwise would be dispersed and lost' (J. Dupin, Miró, Barcelona & New York, 1993, p. 294).
In Miró's most successful works his remarkable visual vocabulary strikes a perfect balance between abstraction and image-signs. There is always energy and movement in these pictures and never a sense of stasis, an effect that was identified by his friend Alexander Calder, whose 'mobiles' and 'stabiles' (fig. 5) share Miró's engagement with transitory compositions. Moreover, each work is the result of active and ongoing improvisation that renders a precise interpretation impossible. When Miró painted this work in 1954, he had already become acquainted with the new techniques and aesthetic agenda of the Abstract Expressionists. He first saw their work in New York in 1947, and the experience, the artist would later recall, was like 'a blow to the solar plexus'. Several young painters, including Jackson Pollock (fig. 3), were crediting Miró as the inspiration for their wild, paint-splattered canvases. Miró was both flattered and a little awed by the acknowledgement, not knowing immediately what to think of it. In a dialogue between Miró and Rafael Santos Torroella in March 1951, the artist offered advice to young painters, and his words give some insight into the underlying motivations that inspired the present work and his own interpretation of abstraction: "'He who wants to really achieve something has to flee from things that are easy and pay no attention to 'artistic bureaucracy', which is completely lacking in spiritual concerns. What is more absurd than killing yourself to copy a highlight on a bottle? If that was all painting was about, it wouldn't be worth the effort'. In response, Torroella asked, "What about abstract art then?" to which Miró replied, "No. That is not the way to spiritual freedom. You don't gain even a centimetre of freedom from art that's governed by cold formulas. You only get your freedom by sweating for it, by an inner struggle"' (quoted in M. Rowell, Joan Miró, Selected Writings and Interviews, Boston, 1986, p. 226).
The paintings he produced at the end of the 1940s and the beginning of the 1950s are a fascinating response to new trends of abstraction, especially to the American Abstract Expressionists who had so admired his own work, but they also show Miró's allegiance to his own artistic pursuits. 'For me a form is never something abstract', he said at the end of the 1940s, 'it is always a sign of something. It is always a man, a bird, or something else. For me painting is never form for form's sake' (quoted in ibid., p. 207). The present work is populated by those archetypal motifs – the celestial bodies, the gaping mouths, and stretching limbs – and is symptomatic of Miró's dedication to the use of symbols. Whilst the overall composition is filled with the energy of the Abstract Expressionists, the finely drawn stars, precisely placed dabs of paints and quasi-figurative areas of colour are imparted with the same poetic symbolism which Miró had begun to use during the 1920s and which continued to populate his work for the remainder of his career.
Peinture was presented as a gift to the Giacomettis and has subsequently passed into the hands of the Fondation Alberto et Annette Giacometti in Paris. Giacometti once said of the inimitable nature of Miró's art: 'For me, it was the greatest liberation. Anything lighter, more airy, more detached, I had never seen. In a way, it was absolutely perfect. Miró could not put down a dot without it being in just the right place. He was so much a painter, through and through, that he could leave three spots of colour on the canvas and it became a painting' (quoted in Joan Miró, 1917-1934 (exhibition catalogue), op. cit., p. 212).
This work has been requested for the forthcoming exhibition Miró and Cobra. The Joy of Experiment to be held at the Cobra Museum of Modern Art, Amstelveen, The Netherlands from October 2015 to January 2016.

Movie Fights
Author Topic: Movie Fights (Read 74056 times)
maija
The subject of fight choreography has come up a bit lately, so I have to ask, what are you guys' favorites?
Obviously 'movie' and 'realism' don't really fit in the same sentence, but there are definitely more satisfying vs more irritating fight sequences out there.
I'm always looking for recommendations, so any suggestions?
Here are a few of my suggestions: For complete movies, one of my personal favorites is "The Yakuza" with Robert Mitchum. I also enjoyed the "Bourne" trilogy, "Time and Tide",The "Zatoichi" series, "Ong Bak", "Hero", "Fist of Legend", and the latest Bruce Willis "Live Free or Die Hard" which was hilarious.
There are also particular moments in movies that were neat, though the rest sucked, but I'll leave those for now....
It will seem difficult at first, but everything is difficult at first.
Miyamoto Musashi.
Re: Movie Fights
Woof Maija, Have you seen "The Hunted"?
One of my more recent favorites.....also, the choreographers are known to haunt this forum
Fist of Legend is awesome!
I always liked the scenes from the Lone Wolf and Cub series.
"You see, it's not the blood you spill that gets you what you want, it's the blood you share. Your family, your friendships, your community, these are the most valuable things a man can have." Before Dishonor - Hatebreed
The Mechanic (1972) - the fight scene was ok, but the underlying context is what i liked
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BbbFTZLQn5M
Rapid Fire(1992) - nice jkd and environmental usage with return to sender at the end
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7NL8BBngz4
Sha Po Lang(2005) - Donnie Yen in best knife and stick scene ever
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XqY_C6W2Jsw
Once Were Warriors (1994) - Jake the MUS, simple and to the point, street style_i wonder who posted this? )

Quote from: Robertlk808 on January 02, 2008, 01:21:14 PM
I have the set, did i ever let you borrow it?
Yes I do like "The Hunted", though I would probably put that in the "partial" category. The knife fight near the end is cool, but I have to confess the "hold on a minute whilst I fashion myself a blade over the campfire as I wait for my adversary" made my eyes roll a bit.
Peregrine,
"The Mechanic" is awesome. Great ending!!
I'll check out "Sha Po Lang", I like Donnie Yen. Apart from his Asian movies, he has an all too short sword fight in "Blade 2" which is also neat.
Karsk
Heh. I like this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5v27qPog_0
Here is more of Cyrano in the 1990 movie http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amlQoYtA-Zs. Eh. Lots of staged stuff but I like it anyway. Especially when he pokes his opponent with his nose.
Thanks Karsk,
I've not seen the Cyrano Movie, looks like fun! and it brings to mind another favorite I forgot to mention earlier. "The Duelists".
The book "By The Sword" by Richard Cohen, has an interesting section about the real sword experts that got involved in the movie business. It is also a fascinating read about the evolution of dueling and swordplay through the ages.
I would have to go with the the "Bourne" trilogy
Peace, Love and PitBulls
Violence. It may not be the answer, But it sure cuts down on the questions!
http://myspace.com/pitbullstribe
what about newer/other MMA fighters or martial artists of the current generation who are in movies. i just seen "Judo" Gene Lebell on the Sarah Connors Chronicles. both Randy Couture and Gokor have been on the greatest show of all time, The Unit. and Tito is now a guest of the donald.
Quote from: rio on January 15, 2008, 06:08:21 PM
both Randy Couture and Gokor have been on the greatest show of all time, The Unit.
I agree, the UNIT is definately up there in my top shows of all time.
Rio or anyone have you seen Johnnie To's "THROW DOWN"(2004)?
i've been trying to get this judo movie forever, heard it was pretty cheesy, but still wanted to see it. It's region3.

i was watching the 1st Blade movie yesterday on STARZ. there are actually a couple good fight scenes in there!
Just watched Flashpoint(2007) with Donnie Yen. The end fight had everything in the book from triangle, seonage, boxing, mt...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65IS3Rx-p3o
I'll have to check this movie out. Truly MMA! Nice defensive and offensive sections.
Quote from: Maxx on January 04, 2008, 09:58:23 AM
Call me stupid, but I watched all three (don't bother with #3) and never really saw any fighting. I remember rewinding and watching the fight sequences. They are rapid film cuts and sound effects coupled with some victim movement. Yes, the sound and scenes are gripping. To me, it looks as if editing technology made up for Bourne's disinterest in training in martial arts. Lucy Liu does a much better job.

Woof Sting,
You are right on with Lucy Liu. Check out her new movie that is just out on DVD, RISE. There is another movie out that's called Eastern Promises it's a Britt film about the Russian mob, I don't know any of the actors. There is a fairly realistic fight that takes place in a bath house. Two hit men with hawkblade knifes take on a naked guy taking a steam. I don't know, but fighting butt naked would seem to be, well, awkward!
I liked that Donnie Yen fight.
I almost went to see Eastern Promises when it was in the theaters, but as family man it can be hard to get out in the evenings-- so now I will wait for it to show up on sat-TV
Lucy Liu? Maybe she got bit by the bug with the role in "Kill Bill".
Dogcatcher
another hongkong flick
I'm watching Invisible Target(2007)
and there is a chase scene and fight scene in a taxi and the cop uses the dogcatcher.
here's the trailer...i didn't have time to search for the taxi scene
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OuMhhHyL9ro&feature=related
It always amazes me in these hong kong action flicks the cops always are using REVOLVERS.
I love my revolvers...but 5-6shots in a .38spl doesn't compare to a glock or whatever with an extra magazine. I'm not sure if this is just for theatrics or that is their carry piece...a lot of movies the guns cyclinder opens and the rounds fall out adding to the suspense. If anyone knows i'd be curious on the Hong kong police carry? i haven't been to hong kong since 94.
here's more from Sha Po Lang(killzone) someone burned the entirety to youtube.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMBliuL1Z9w
Note the point in which he inserts the blade through the bicep then uses it as a control point and a trap/armdrag. This is an excellent technique in reverse grip...Southnarc uses it in his pikal work.
EDIT- in the movie the patrol officers had a full sized glock.
My favorite fight movies:
1) The Seven Samurai ( I liked this movie for many reasons; the fight scenes looked real. They were not polished, but were gritty)
2) Last Hurrah for Chivalry ( I loved the fighting in this movie. It was not a fight for a fight's sake, but there was an actual story, and I cared about the people in the story even though they had faults)
Inigo Montonya: Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.
Count Rugen: Stop saying that!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3W5GDkgf2w
I saw the new Jet Li flick, War. Some parts of the fight scenes were O.K. (What few there were.) But I caught a lot of what sting was saying about the Bourne movies cutting through the fights without showing much of anything actually happening. The movie was O.K. but I hope this isn't A new trend. For you choreographers out there ,hint hint.
The fight scene at the end of "Lethal Weapon" between Mel Gibson and Gary Busey. Any fight scene in "The Perfect Weapon" with Jeff Speakman. Fight scenes with Dan Inosanto on youtube, not with Bruce Lee. Parts from "The Hunted" also good.
-Why don't sharks attack clowns?
-Because they taste funny.
Ok..I have to throw this in. The fight scene in Conan the Barbarian in the Orgy room. When the team is all done up in Camo and goes in am puts everyone to the sword and not to forget the battle at the mounds.
New one from the director of Ong Bak: "Chocolate".
Like they say "No stunt double, real injuries" ...

Old Boy is my favorite hands down. The fight scene with the hammer is about the coolest I've ever seen.
Mr.Happy
Its a hard question, most recently though, the one shot fight scene from the new Tony Ja film where he fights a whole street gang in a multistory nightclub
Tom yum goong or the Protector i think its called (Ive heard a few names for it)
anyway very cool,
he looks really tired by the end
jonbroster
Surely, on anyone's list must be the fights in "Out For Justice" with Steven Seagal.
There is a fantastic scene in a butcher's shop, where the staff all attack him with cleavers.
Not forgetting the part where he beats up an entire pool hall full of hoodlums (using only a pool ball wrapped in a scarf) and then beats up Dan Inosanto (character name "Sticks") in a fight with pool cues.
http://www.pecahan.net
Trivia question: In that pool hall scene, there is a moment where the camera gives us "Sticks" POV. Who handles the double sticks representing Sticks's sticks?
I don't remember the exact POV shot and I was told a slightly different story about that scene, but here is my guess: Simo Paula Inosanto.

What was the story you heard?
I was told that Simo Paula subbed in for Seagal's hands because his hands are on the tiny side for a man. I didn't know that she played Guro Dan's hands in that POV shot. If you could clarify the specifics as you know them, Guro Crafty, I would appreciate it. I know that scene is on YouTube, so I'll look it up later today. I don't remember the POV shift. All I remember is Seagal shouting, "Anybody seen Richie?"
What do I win?
Aaah, the early Seagals .... those were the days. I think I prefer "Above The Law", though I also have a strange fondness for "Marked for Death" and of course Tommy Lee Jones makes "Under Siege" worth the wait for the last knife fight.
I know it's weird talking about this movie cause it's my username. But that's cause it's such a rocking film.
Has anyone here also seen the Hammer fight from Oldboy ? There are no camera cuts the whole fight and it's one of the dirtiest, grittiest, most awesome movie fight scenes I have ever seen in my life. I am yet to see a cooler fight scene in a movie ( or even a cooler movie overall ).
here is the trailer for Oldboy :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLn1y9v6yno
Another movie that had really cool fighting, but more old school was another Korean film called "Musa: The Warrior". Very cool movie.

Once Were Warriors (1994) - Jake the MUS, simple and to the point, street style
I want to get Jake the MUS T-shirts made. What a legend.
Here is a trailer for a new movie about a TKD guy who owns a McDojo: "The Fist Foot Way":
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXaR4wlGu3s
I watched the clip about half a dozen times, it is so funny.
Remember Rex Kwon Do from Napoleon Dynamite? This looks like a whole movie of it!!
I had forgotten about this one - 'Rob Roy' sword fight between Tim Roth and Liam Neeson
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PrWpTqVtfrY
Wandering Knight
Couple of other interesting blade fights I remember apart from the greats already mentioned above.A large portion of my Experience in 'the Arts' are Aiki-arts and I absolutely adore Seagal Sensei's outside slip against linear/ angle 1/4 attacks and the kote-gaeshi/ irimi-nage throws/ Atemi Strikes/ Arm breaks as the key follow up.This added with tai-sabaki.Major motion events in this regards would be:
1. Under Siege II
2. Nico/ Hard to Kill
3. MFD
4. Who can forget the Parking Lot scene in 'The Glimmer Man' when he pulls out a Swiss Army Card knife edge from his wallet and slashes three people in one motion !!!
Among his recent DVD releases (He doesn't get a good character anymore but he has to feed himself anyways )
1. The katana climax in 'Out of Reach'.
2. The knife climax in 'the foreigner'.
Mark Dacascos is another favorite of mine so other couple of blade picks for me would be:
1. American Samurai
2. The Crying Freeman
Some other picks..
1. 'The Hunted' starring Chris Lambert, John Lone and Yoshiro Harada Sensei (The Train fight specially)
2. 'The Highlander' series' Katana Fights by Adrian Paul (hopefully he didn't use a double there.. )
I am not even adding the authentic Japanese Samurai Flicks like The Lone Wolf series and other greats (which are far too many.)
Some even more poetic and greatly choreographed recent filmed blade movies are:
1. Shinobi
2. The house of Flying Daggers
3. Ninja Scroll (Anime anyone.Please see this! Awesum katana fight sequences !!! )
Finally apologizing about the looooooong post..
- Regards and Gratitude unlimited
There are some pretty good fighting scenes out there now.
Almost of of Donnie Yen's stuff is top notch from his classical kung fu to his MMA, if MA truly looked like that, it would be a wonderful world indeed !
The Bourne trilogy is quite excellent, giving the viewer that "chaotic" felling of being in the action, though some don't like that because its hard to follow the moves.
Lone Wold and Cub probably has some of the best sword work on any samurai series.
The early Seagal movies were great, then he became the Pilsbury Dough-boy and, well...
The Hunted with benicio and Jones was great, and the Hunted with Lambert has a very cool Samurai VS ninja fight in a train.
The Highlander series with Adrian Paul had some good sword work and great H2H stuff, Adrian was a Hung Ga guy if I recall correctly.
Jet Li's stuff can border on poetic at times.
A history of violence has some nice stuff, and some naughty stuff too
Was Adrian a Hung Ga Student? I didn't know that ..
And talking about poetic weapons/ blade choreography, I badly missed CTHD- which started all this and the fabulous "Hero" *ing Jet and Donny.The Li-Yen sword/ spear fight is one of the most nicely choreographed/ cinematographed piece of work I've ever seen ..
I enjoyed "Hero" also. My favorite move is the switch to back grip during the assassination attempt on the Emperor, where 'Broken Sword' pulls the cut at the last moment. I've seen my teacher use that very same move during sparring .
@peregrine
firearms are illegal in HK... so in theory, there are no guns in their society... i dont know how much of the movies is reality where all the bg's go around with automatics.... but revolvers are standard issue
loads of good movies/fight scenes? where to begin?
i loved the oldboy hallway fight, not so much because of the hammer, but cos of the boxing. although it was brief, it was very cool. and the rest of the movie is good, but not in the martial sense... 2 twist endings... one is predictable, the other caught me off-guard.. wanted to post so oldboy would know he wasn't the only one to watch this great movie... but if you want to watch it for the fight, then just watch the youtube link...if you want a good movie with twist ending... or want a revenge movie, give this a try
Tom Yum Goong/The Protector
although Ong Bak/Thai Warrior was good (i believe Tony Jaa was trained by Col. Amnat Poosiruk in the old Thai bareknuckle arts as well as Krabi Krabong), and the no-cut/one-take restaurant fight scene (i'm thinking it may be homage to Bruce Lee's Game of Death although i could be wrong -- if kill bill came out before the protector, maybe it was homage to quentin tarantino and kill bill?) was awesome.... i absolutely loved the tony jaa vs 50 guys and he breaks their arms and legs! if you look carefully, the 'form'/kata tony jaa does in the beginning of the movie, contain all the arm and leg breaks he does in this penultimate fight of the movie
Fist of Legend
my fave scene was the fight between jet and the japanese sensei... both learned from each other after having the techniques used against them in that fight and within the same fight they used the techniques that was used against them.
Throwdown (dir. Johnnie To's homage to Akira Kurosawa)
this was more a movie about redemption than it was about judo, although judo was the vehicle for the protagonist to get redemption... although not really martial arts action, check out Johnnie To's The Mission (unrelated to hollywood movie of the same name with Robert DeNiro and music by the great Ennio Morricone)... there is one scene in the mall... that was all Kurosawa... the "motion in stillness".... anyway, what is the name of the technique that tony leung ka fai does? step over shoulder lock? sweet... and Johnnie To has mentioned it in an interview that Throwdown was indeed homage to Kurosawa... especially Kurosawa's The Judo Saga, which were among Kurosawa's first movies
he was also in the forgettable Highlander 4
in his SPL (sha po lang), he imo, reinvigorated the fight scenes in HK movies. his collapsible baton vs dagger/knife of wu jing was an awesome fight... and donnie using judo/bjj/mma techniques in his fight scenes makes for something new and exciting to hong kong fight movie fans
Flashpoint was beyond awesome!
around the time of her movie with antonio banderas -- ballistic - ecks vs sever... in an interview she has said she studies kali.
Brandon Lee in Showdown in Little Tokyo... especially his fight in the factory, he rips a guard rail off and uses it as a single stick vs the bad guy's staff... Rapid Fire showed his potential to be an action star... was Jeff Imada (who i believe was close friends with Brandon) the choreographer? of course the fight vs Prof Al Leung featuring the trapping was unforgettable
going oldschool on you all lol:
heroes of the east aka shaolin vs ninja
gordon liu (aka master killer aka pak mei, priest in kill bill, aka johnny (leader of crazy 88's) in kill bill, marries a japanese bride, she practices JMA and he makes a comment to her about it and she sends a letter home and her sensei and brothers mistook it and sends their JMA experts to challenge gordon.
five venoms gang in northern shaolin vs southern shaolin aka invincible shaolin aka unbeatable dragon -- lo mang, the muscle-guy of the group, does southern praying mantis.... the scene where he does the fingertip handstand pushups with eggs under his hands always cracks (no pun intended) me up... his facial expression when he says 'eggs again?' gets me everytime... the slender venom that was slightly effeminate in this movie, played the son of the souther shaolin teacher, and was sent to learn yung chun aka wing chun
love the staff -- 2 movies come to mind:
gordon liu in invincible pole fighter aka 8 diagram pole fighter -- great staff training scenes
ti lung in kung fu instructor -- the plot is a ripoff/homage to akira kurosawa's yojimbo... if you haven't seen yojimbo, you may know the plot as sergio leone/clint eastwood's a fistful of dollars or david carradine's the warrior and the sorceress or bruce willis in walter hill's last man standing -- great staff training scenes
will post some more when i think of them....loong day at work, needed to post to unwind lol

We seem to enjoy the same films.
I am aware firearms are illegal in HK.
Oldboy reminded me of what one motivated man can do with channeled aggression against overwhelming odds who are not like motivated. Pissed off and Payback.
The ending disturbed me.

great minds think alike!
cool.. didn't mean to talk down at you if that was how you read it, it was not my intention. i havent been there in ages... it's my belief that police are armed with only revolvers because firearms are illegal.
agreed. and yes, normally i'm a wussy, i watched 2 takashi miike movies (ichi and audtion) and i am a wussy. oldboy was borderline for my tastes. if not for the hype of those 3 movies, i would've probably not watched them. a little extreme for me.
what about inspirational training scenes?
almost all oldschool shaw brothers, non-shaw brothers movies of the late 70's and early 80's -- gordon liu in 36th chamber of shaolin aka master killer comes to mind as does oldschool jackie chan in snake in the eagle's shadow or durnken fist aka drunken master ... or what about the rocky movies?
on a diff note, re: martial application
donnie yen's first movie, drunken tai chi, was cool for me... at the time i was of the belief that tai chi was martial but in modern times was predominately practiced for health. having not officially taught it for martial applications, there were a few moves in that movie that showed me possible martial applications of the form.
Ondamat
As a huge Dumas and Perez-Reverte fan, the fight scenes in Alatriste were very enjoyable to watch. Viggo Mortensen does the role of Alatriste justice, the dueling scenes are interesting as are the battle scenes...great movie all round!

Ip Man part 1 (2008)
starring Donnie Yen
dir'd by Wilson Yip (never heard of him? he dir'd Donnie in flashpoint, spl, dragon tiger gate)
action choreography by Sammo Hung
consultant to film - Yip Chun, eldest son of Yip Man
movie was too long, so it was split into parts 1 and 2... 2 is not out yet. i've watched half... need to watch the other half tonight of part 1.
biopic of Yip Man, the late wing chun kuen grandmaster who taught Bruce Lee, William Cheung, Hawkins Cheung, Wong Shum Leung, Leung Ting and many more.

this looks good... some of the fight scenes shows some of the applications of the forms (naturally). none of the flashy kicks from donnie, since it's wing chun. i like it so far.
trivia: director wong kar-wai (arthouse director of chungking express, fallen angels, in the mood for love, 2046, ashes of time, etc) is also working on a film about Yip Man... should be starring tony leung chiu-wai (hardboiled, bullet in the head, infernal affairs, hero, happy together, in the mood for love, etc)

9 Best She-Hulk Episodes, Ranked (According To IMDb) – Screen Rant

Though She-Hulk had some divisive episodes, including the finale, some responded better with audiences for Jennifer's origin story and legal aspects.
She-Hulk concluded its nine-episode-long series last Wednesday, leaving fans wondering where Jennifer Walter's future with the MCU lies now. Furthermore, there have been no words about a season 2 confirmation, as the show's star, Tatiana Maslany, shared that she has no idea where the show would go.
Despite the divisive criticism, the Disney+ show introduced a strong new character into the MCU, allowing her to feel comfortable in her persona as She-Hulk without losing a sense of her outgoing nature and breaking the fourth wall humor. With episodes like "Just Jen" not doing the series justice to outstanding episodes like "Ribbit and Rip It" really developing Jennifer as a character in a different light, this show clearly had its ups and downs.
Out of all the episodes in She-Hulk, the wedding episode seemed the most filler to critics and fans alike. While it was a nice background for Jennifer in her most buoyant phase as She-Hulk, this episode received poor responses for its disconnected plot, random fight scene, and strange villain.
Related: 10 Best Quotes That Sum Up She-Hulk
While fans might have found it amusing that Titania appeared to one-up Jennifer in this episode, her entrance was not explained and was unwarranted. Plus, it deviated from the main problem at hand, which was Intelligencia, and its clear intent was nothing more than a filler episode that didn't see Jen in legal action.
What could be considered another filler episode was the "Mean, Green, and Straight Poured into These Jeans" episode, where Jen shows up in court. With help from a colleague, Jen fights the copyright infringement lawsuit for the catchphrase "She-Hulk" after being served in the previous episode.
With all respect to the She-Hulk show as a whole, this episode felt most like a legal drama, showing a step-by-step trial of the prosecution initiated. Unfortunately, this episode lacked a consistent plot and comical moments, as it poked at Jen's dating history. However, it set the motion for Jen's super suit, which became a funny joke in She-Hulk, and was a build-up to a subsequent episode as it introduced designer Luke Jacobson.
Probably, one of the funnier episodes was "The Retreat" when Jennifer's car was stuck at Emil Blonsky's house, and she was forced to spend a few phone-free hours at his humble abode. Not only did the sequences show the struggles of waiting for a phone call from a date, which made Jen relatable, but it referenced the issue regarding scrolling and glancing over at the phone of the technological age.

One of the more positive feedback with this episode is that it gave more of a perspective of Jennifer's struggles with her new image as She-Hulk, and the retreat allowed her to feel more comfortable under her own skin. However, this episode lacked substance since it didn't contribute to the overall issue regarding the conflict with Intelligencia. While it did start to set up the series' "big bad" by revealing more of Intelligencia's schemes, it did not address that issue at length, leaving fans with yet another cliffhanger that could have been avoided.
One of the episodes that truly established She-Hulk as a good lawyer within the context of the MCU was "The People vs Emil Blonsky." This episode showcased two characters and how indifference can ultimately lead to a mutual agreement and understanding.
As another court-based episode, it also lacked much substance to its overarching plot. While it is known to fans now that the show's "big bad" was Intelligencia, this was not made apparent early on. The episode had enough dialogue to move the plot along and highlighted Jen's profession as an attorney, but the episode was drawn out in the show's grand scheme.
She-Hulk's finale had everyone's head spinning, but viewers' impressions were divided. The finale was thrilling, as it showed Jen smashing the Disney+ service and taking a whole meta route in addressing the MCU and ways to conclude She-Hulk's story.
RELATED: 10 Villainous Characters That Could Appear In Phases 5 and 6
While some described it as the closest episode that captured She-Hulk's spirits from the comics, others were frustrated with the rushed and trivial conclusion where it felt meaningless. It is no surprise that Marvel took great risks in creating this final episode, even going so far as to openly acknowledge that the ending was not a stereotypical Marvel ending.
There couldn't be a better TV series to explore a woman's dating and love lives than She-Hulk. In this episode, Jennifer attempts to bridge the gap between her two lives, while also trying to have her personal life in the process. This episode was the perfect balance between She-Hulk and Jennifer Walters, and it did a great job of juxtaposing those two characters.
As another courtroom-focused episode, not only was this an incredibly relatable narrative that addressed themes about struggling with dating life, but it demonstrated Jennifer Walters' capabilities as an attorney while defending her client. The dynamic between Wong and Madisynn unexpectedly delighted many viewers who loved their playful friendship, and the latter became a new likable character in She-Hulk.
Needless to say, episode 2 truly establishes Jennifer as a capable lawyer. The funny circumstances of her hiring at GLK/H were that she must be in She-Hulk form when defending and receiving statements from clients unless told otherwise. This predicament starts the endless cycle of She-Hulk attempting to grapple with her new reality.
Related: 10 Best Fourth Wall Breaks In Marvel Movies & Shows
This episode was more memorable because it sheds light on who Jennifer Walter's character could become and what she has to do to be totally at peace with both of her personas. It pushed this episode into a higher ranking since it emphasizes Jen's personal journey and two juxtaposing personalities that the audience would follow and see how she resolves this inner conflict.
The pilot episode really helped set in motion of She-Hulk's origin story, with a flashback to how Jennifer got her powers in the first place. Not only does it establish She-Hulk as a character, but it also discusses the everyday problems and challenges that women confront.
A unique aspect of this episode was that it managed to tie Bruce Banner into Jennifer's life by depicting him as a mentor rather than a cousin. With this relationship established, Jennifer can defy his rules and establish herself as a singular entity that cannot be defined by Hulk's limitations. This introduction was truly unique as it showcased the difference between She-Hulk and the Hulk from the beginning.
"Ribbit and Rip It" was a highly anticipated episode for most fans and delivered in the most satisfying way. This episode comes very well-timed as the series chose to reintroduce Daredevil into the MCU near the series' end, giving Jennifer the chance to shine as her own character before he made his appearance.
What pushed this episode over the top was Jen's dynamic working with Daredevil as a superhero and working against him in court. This contradiction added another element of dimension to the episode, which proved extremely enjoyable to watch. Not only that, but fans witnessed Daredevil in a more playful light, as contrasted with his portrayal in Netflix's Daredevil series. It was a refreshing change of pace and personality to the character, who had one of the best cameos in She-Hulk and was a fitting addition to the legal premise.

Susan Mullins Kwaronhia:wi
Susan Mullins Kwaronhia:wi is a Mohawk from the Kahnawake reserve in Canada, who now resides in Berea, Kentucky. She learned the traditional songs, stories, dances and crafts of her people from the Elders. Keeping her heritage alive was a way of life at home. She began making presentations about Mohawk culture, storytelling, music and crafts to groups such as the Lions Club, Rotary International and the Masons, as well as students in Madison, Clay, Rockcastle, Fayette and Bourbon counties. Susan believes that music and storytelling are a wonderful way to learn important lessons. She has performed at the Governor's Derby Breakfast (Frankfort), Renfro Valley's Lewis and Clark presentation, Ocala Civic Theatre (Florida), Shinnocock Reserve (New York) and the Loudonville Moheagan Festival (Ohio). Susan has also worked with children with behavioral disorders caused by drugs, alcohol or abuse.
It has been said that music is an international language, and my goal is to use music as a way of sharing cultural understanding while encouraging students to develop their own creativity and to take pride in their own cultural heritage. Through song, I share the language, stories and cultural values of the Mohawk people and guide students to finding a sense of their own identity.
A 20-day residency for students in grades four and five begins with the teaching of the Mohawk version of songs with which they are familiar. For example, "Amazing Grace" has been translated into countless languages, including the Mohawk language, and has entered into our musical traditions. As children learn this and other familiar songs in a new language, they are also taught the history of the Mohawk people and helped to understand that American Indians are part of modern culture, not just part of history.
Next they are taught songs that are traditional Mohawk songs and introduced to drumming. We discuss how the elements of music are used in American Indian music, the instruments that were traditionally used, and the purpose of song in our culture. Some songs are ceremonial, some social, some for dance. I bring traditional clothing and articles to the classroom to share and discuss, and help students to understand the important role that American Indian culture has played and continues to play in the United States. I enhance their awareness of American Indian culture by integrating other folk arts that are a part of my heritage, and I introduce students to the music that I am creating now as a contemporary American Indian musician. I blend traditional music with contemporary instrumentation and technology to create a sound that is uniquely my own. Students are then invited to begin exploring their own roots and traditions. They are asked to interview their elders and share stories, songs and crafts that are part of their own heritage. Thus students develop an awareness of the richness of their own background and build their self-esteem.
A culminating activity is to present a "Native American Day" to the rest of the school and the community. Through this, the students are able to share with others what they have learned, to perform traditional and contemporary American Indian music and dance with me, and to demonstrate their new knowledge and skills.
My program addresses Core Content in Social Studies as well as in the Arts and Humanities.

Rodenticides can be classified generally as anticoagulants or non-anticoagulants. Most rodenticides are in the anticoagulant group, and among these another classification can be made between the earliest, "first generation", active ingredients and others that have been discovered and commercialized more recently. First generation rodenticide active ingredients typically require multiple feedings by a rodent to get a lethal dose. Second generation active ingredients, or so-called "single dose" products can be lethal with a single feeding.
As a practical matter all rodenticides are more effective with multiple feedings, and in most baiting programs the target rodents do feed multiple times. Rodenticide active ingredients also have limitations in how they can be attractive to rodents. Usually multiple pest management tactics, and sometimes more than one rodenticide will need to be integrated to achieve a total solution to a rodent problem.
Good Management Practices and Industry Sanitation Standards generally dictate that rodenticide use at food plants be limited to bait blocks secured on rods in an anchored & secure bait station outdoors. Other formulations such as pellets, place packs, liquid baits or tracking powders can be valuable tools, but consideration must be given to where they are used.
A ready to use bait in one ounce pieces for control of rats and mice.
A tracking powder for the control of rats and mice.
A liquid concentrate for dispensing in suitable receptacle.
A ready to use bait for control of Norway rats, roof rats, and house mice.
Finak® Soft Bait with Lumitrack® is a highly palatable soft bait that contains the powerful single-feed, second generation anticoagulant, brodifacoum at a lower toxicity level of 0.0025%. Each 15g sachet of Final® Soft Bait includes an extruded hole in the center, making it easier for the PMP to place the bait onto the rod and allowing it to be placed more consistently and securely. Final® Soft Bait has been specially developed to achieve sustained palatability, making it ideal for long-term applications. Final® Soft Bait incorporates Lumitrack®; a special additive that causes rodent droppings to brightly glow under UV or black light.
A single feeding paraffinized bait for control of rats and mice.
Contrac with Lumitrack, is a single-feeding anticoagulant rodenticide containing the active ingredient, bromadiolone. It contains Lumitrack which is a special additive that makes rodent droppings glow bright green under UV light. With Lumitrack in the bait, PMPs can quickly and easily identify and track rodent movement. Identifying rodent's movement gives PMPs valuable insight for establishing additional bait placements or determining where exclusionary or sanitation measures are needed to eliminate rodents. Contrac with Lumitrack also helps PMPs track rodent activity in drop ceilings, sub-floors, wall voids and other dark, hard-to-access areas. For ease of use, a hole in the center of the Blox lets technicians place it on bait securing rods in tamper-resistant bait stations, or nail or wire the BLOX in place. It is highly palatable, yet weatherable, Contrac with Lumitrack works well in wet and dry conditions.
This unique, single feed anticoagulant is specially formulated to be highly palatable to rats and mice. The advanced technology of difethialone allows it to be formulated at half the active ingredient concentration of other anticoagulants.
FirstStrike Soft Bait is a new concept in rodenticide technology. It is highly effective and is easy to secure to bait station rods. It has half the active ingredient compared to other anticoagulants. FirstStrike works quickly in high infestation areas, maintains palatability and integrity in both hot & cold environments. Now comes in 10 gram or new larger 40 gram pouches.
This acute, fast-acting bait can control more rodents with less bait because rats and mice stop feeding after eating a lethal dose. Fastrac All-Weather Blox weighs 15 grams and is colored purple for easy identification.
A Non-toxic bait for monitoring rodent activity in sensitive areas. This new bait has been reformulated from the Detex Blox with an additive that way the rodents droppings will glow green when using a black light. You can track their movement and identify the rodent's harborage.
Liphatech's unique mini block is for monitoring rodents in and around homes, industrial, commercial, agricultural and public buildings. May also be used in transport vehicles. It has no toxic active ingredient and comes in a triangle block to aid in bait identification. The red dye is highly visible in rodent droppings and is based on the same great formula found in the Maki line of products.

Winning is No Accident
Every day massive accomplishments are realized all over the world: diseases being cured; teams winning championships; innovative products going to market; and a host of other positive experiences. These things do not happen by accident. They happen as the direct results of certain fundamental principles. The good news is they aren't a secret; they aren't hidden in some far-off locale, waiting to be unearthed. They are ready and available for you right now. While these life and business-transforming principles are simple, they are not always simple to implement.
Here is an opportunity to learn and apply EXACTLY what you need to do to accomplish outstanding results.
-The equation that creates the highest likelihood of success
-The four key principles to pacing yourself effectively
-How to deal with obstacles and opportunities
How to Build a High-Performance Culture
What do you stand for? What does your company stand for? Are your values clear? Are they obvious to customers, staff, and the community? Is your company optimally positioned and differentiated by the consistent application of your vision and core values?
Most leaders and organizations are moving at such a rapid pace that taking a step back to think about these things seems like a luxury when, in fact, it couldn't be more crucial. It doesn't matter where your company and your industry stands in the growth cycle. Focusing on who you are and what you stand for is the most critical thing you can do.
-How to identify and apply their core values to their leadership
-How to align their behavior with what they say they believe
-How to be powerfully influential regardless of level of authority
-How to build accountability and improve efficiency
Start Fast: The Path Forward
The challenges in your industry are unique and rapidly changing. This can create a feeling of playing constant catch-up, making reactive decisions, and trying to stay on track. If you neglect to address these stressors in your life and the lives of your team members, you are accepting a lack of focus, productivity, satisfaction, and fulfillment.
It doesn't have to be this way.
Assumptions:
-You're smart
-You have good intentions
-Sometimes there is a gap between what you intend to do and what you actually do
What strong, successful finishers do:
-Narrow Focus. What can you control?
-Eliminate or Decrease noise. What's going in your eyes and ears?
-Manage Energy. This prevents burnout far more than "time management".
Focus On:
-Moving toward outcomes. What are the positive changes you want to see in your life? This is more motivating than moving away from things, fear isn't a good long-term motivator.
-High Gain Activity. What's the one thing that would have the most productive and profitable impact on your business if you did it all the time?
What Fast Starters Do:
-Eliminate drag
-Build momentum
6 Things to Do Next:
-Accept your circumstances
-Take Action
-Take Responsibility
-Acknowledge Progress
-Commit to Gratitude
-Kindle New Relationships
Leadership isn't for Cowards
We live in an age when it is more and more challenging to manage all of the information, demands and challenges that are coming at us. It takes real courage to stand firm in what you believe and then to get your followers to understand what really matters and how to execute effectively. Your ability to influence your followers is key to every step of creating significant results. Courage is the key element in that process.
-The real definition of courage
-The three most important steps you will ever take
-The power of commitment
-What your followers do, really do, when you are not around
-The primary motivator of all people
-The three things every leader can do to insure leadership failure
-The importance of high gain activity and how to do more of it
-Six steps that will insure effective execution

World Environment Day and World Oceans Day
This June, millions of people around the world will be observing two of the most important dates dedicated to the protection and conservation of the environment—World Environment Day on June 5 and World Oceans Day on June 8.
World Environment Day is an annual celebration that aims to raise awareness on issues that affect the environment and inspire action to address them. Now on its 46th year, the theme for 2020 revolves around biodiversity, deemed a concern that is both urgent and existential. World Oceans Day is another yearly celebration for nature, dedicated to the protection and restoration of the world's oceans. This year, one of its goals is to encourage world leaders to use their influence into having at least 30 percent of the world protected by year 2030—called the 30x30 initiative.
SM will be observing these global celebrations through several of its digital communications campaign that encourage everyone to be mindful of their collective and daily choices that affect the environment.
Some of SM's environmental initiatives include its water recycling program across all SM Malls, wherein water is recycled and is used back for non-potable needs; the monthly Trash to Cash Recycling Market that advocate for responsible solid waste management; Solar rooftops in several of its malls that promote the use of clean energy; Regular coastal clean-up activities at the SM by the Bay; the Green Film Festival that feature documentaries about biodiversity, climate change and solid waste, offered for free to High School students, held at SM Cinemas.
Additionally, in line with the two celebrations, SM Supermalls, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), and the Philippine Reef and Rainforest Conservation Foundation, Inc. (PRRCFI) are set to launch their information and education campaign later this year, named the "AweSMseas" campaign. The goal of the initiative is to highlight how the beauty and biodiversity of Philippine seas are being threatened by plastic pollution, and inspire Filipinos to become more mindful of their use of plastic materials, especially disposable ones, as well as take responsibility for their waste through efforts like proper segregation and recycling.
Both World Environment Day and World Oceans Day are the perfect occasions for everyone to finally heed nature's plea: for mankind to save it from further destruction before it's too late.
"As we observe these two very important global events, now is the best time to think about what we can do for the environment," said Engr. Liza B. Silerio, Head of SM's Program on Environment and Sustainability. "It's never too late for all of us to make positive changes for the benefit of our planet, but to succeed, we will need to work together."

Autobooks is the essential product suite for today's small business. Autobooks works with financial institutions to deliver what small businesses need: accounting, invoicing, and payment services integrated directly via online banking.
This service requires CU*Answers to deliver credit union member information to a third party, and will require a Master API Indemnification Agreement to be signed. Per your online order being received, a DHD representative will forward this agreement to you.
We first started looking at Autobooks at the end of 2017. I was nervous that a full integration between a Fintech and CU*Answers' It's My Biz 247 Online Banking would be expensive and take a long time, but the DHD team worked directly with Autobooks with our consent and built a seamless integration for our business members. We were up and running in a matter of months. Now when a member wants to sign up for Autobooks the member simply logs into their business online banking account and access to the service is just a simple click away. It couldn't be any easier to showcase this great tool as a complement to the It's My Biz Online Banking platform and our business members are loving it.

The treaty required the elimination of all ground-launched nuclear and conventional missiles with ranges of 500 to 5,500 kilometres by the 1st June 1991. By the deadline the US had destroyed 846 weapons and the Soviet Union 1,846 weapons. In October 2018 US President Donald Trump signalled the US's intent to withdraw from the treaty due to concerns over Russian violations.

Every artists give so much of their time for their art. However, we live in a world where there are a lot of copyright claims. This is why you can easily purchase new beats even for a bad deal. There are plenty of factors to consider with the costs, the license and producers In this, article, I will be providing tips in purchasing beats online.
There are so many resellers and sellers in the internet. It is really important that you are purchasing beats in a trusted seller. You need to make sure that the website is certified and verified. Make sure that the website is certified by the Better Business Bureau, has antivirus certification and has paypal verification. However, there are still some people that create fake certificates. This why you need to conduct a thorough research. You will just need to look for a trusted online seller once.
In order for you to know how to use the new beat that you bought you also need to know the license. The license is what protects beats. License of beats actually comes in two types of categories which are the exclusive rights and non exclusive rights. It is really important that you read and know the agreement. Non exclusive rights means that the seller will still own the beat even after it is sold. But, you will still own the track that you make in this license category. In this type of license the seller of the beat can resell their own beat to different buyers.
Exclusive rights mean that you already own the beat that you will purchase and you can do anything with it. But, it is still possible for the seller to put restrictions. There are instances when you need to credit the seller of the beat.
You need to make sure that the beat that you will purchase is worth it. You should check the price of different websites that offer license. You should choose a website that will offer the best deal.
You need to read testimonials so you can find a reliable website. You should the best websites to sell beats. Reviews are given by people that already tried to purchase beats from a certain websites. This is the reason why you can rely on review websites. One example of the best website that offers quality beats is the TellingBeatzz.


It is with a great sense of loss that the family of Sgt William "Bill" Kenneth Forsythe announces his passing at his residence and with loved ones at his side at the age of 94 on Friday, February 15, 2013. Bill was the beloved husband of Ruth (née Brownridge) Forsythe with whom he would have celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary on October 3rd this year. They were constant companions and spent many wonderful years together with their family. He is also survived by his children: Marg and her husband Chris Jones, Mary Anne, and son John and his wife Heather.
Bill served in WWII from 1939 to 1945 with the Governor General Horse Guards in Holland, Belgium, North Africa and Italy, under Maj Alan Burton and was one of the oldest surviving Veterans of the Regiment. Cremation has taken place and a celebration of Bill's life will be shared later this summer at the family farm where he enjoyed so much of his life.
The Governor General's Horse Guards Association sends its heartfelt condolences to Ruth and all of Bill's family at this time of loss.

«Афина Лемния», Лемносская Афина — бронзовая статуя богини Афины, созданная знаменитым греческим скульптором Фидием в 450—440 гг. до н. э. Не сохранилась, известна по копиям.

Согласно Павсанию, скульптура была изготовлена гражданами Афин, жившими на острове Лемнос, с целью преподнесения в дар родному городу, благодаря чему и получила такое прозвание. Вероятно, стояла где-то неподалёку от Пропилей.

Описания античных авторов
 Павсаний (1.28.2):
«На Акрополе также находятся две другие посвятительные статуи — Перикла, сына Ксантиппа, и самая любопытная из всех работ Фидия — скульптура Афины, называемая Лемнийской по происхождению тех, кто посвятил её».
 Лукиан (Imagines 4 и 6):
 (4) «Лукин: Из всех работ Фидия, какую ты ценишь выше всего?
 Полистрат: Что, если не Лемния, которую он считал достойной подписать своим именем? Или Амазонка, опирающаяся на копье?»
 (6) «От Книдской создатель Пантеи пускай возьмет одну только голову… пусть позволит остаться волосам, лбу и прекрасной линии чела остаться такими, как их задумал Пракситель, и ясный притягательный взгляд должен оставаться таким, как создал Пракситель. Но линия щёк и носа — пусть будут от алкаменовской »Афродиты в садах", и её руки, изящные руки с длинными тонкими пальцами. А весь очерк лица, его мягкость и соразмерный нос — должны быть от «Лемнийской Афины» Фидия, которому мы также будем обязаны губам и шее, которую следует взять от «Амазонки»".
 Гимериос (Oratio 68.4):
«Фидий не всегда ваял образы Зевса, и не всегда отливал Афину, облачённую в бронзовый доспех, но он обратил своё искусство к другим богам и украсил щеки Девы розовым румянцем, скрытым обычно шлемом, что закрывал красоту богини».

Сохранившиеся копии и реконструкции
До сих пор не ясно, являются ли сохранившиеся фрагменты римских копий повторением именно «Афины Лемнии». Традиционно к её типу относят:
 Две полные реконструкции (A и B) на основе двух торсов, поступивших в 1728 г. из коллекции Чиджи, Рим (Staatliche Museum, Albertinum, Дрезден)
 Голова Паладжи (Археологический музей Болоньи, Италия)
 Голова из Байи (Археологический музей деи Кампи Флегреи, Поццуоли, Италия).

Эти две реконструкции были выполнены в 1891 году выдающимся немецким археологом и знатоком античного искусства Адольфом Фуртвенглером на основе находившихся в дрезденском музее двух торсов и отдельной головы, а также ещё одной головы из Палаццо Паладжи в Болонье. Позднее в Байи была найдена ещё одна голова этого типа. Реконструкция Фуртвенглера экспонируется в дрезденском Альбертинуме. Обе реконструкции и атрибуции голов на их основе до настоящего времени дискуссионны.

Таким образом, «Афина Лемния» оказывается изображением богини, носящей необычную, перекинутую через плечо эгиду с головой Горгоны Медузы, с непокрытой головой, без щита, держащей шлем в вытянутой правой руке, а левой — опирающейся на копьё.

Идентификация Фуртвёнглером дрезденских мраморов и головы Паладжи как копий оригинальной «Афины Лемнии» основывается на изображении на гемме и описаниях статуи, оставленных античными источниками.

Его умозаключения критикуются. Хартсуик показал, что голова Паладжи не могла быть частью дрезденского торса B, что использованная им гемма могла относится к новому времени, а не к античности, и что описания античных авторов весьма расплывчаты. В свою очередь, опровергаются и некоторые из утверждений Хардвика: например, что голова дрезденской реконструкции А чужеродна, и что голова Паладжи относится к адриановскому времени. Стюарт подытоживает: «Так что, хотя реконструкция смотрится цельно и вполне по-фидиевски, гипотеза и датировка (451—448) Фуртвёнглера остаются неподтвержденными».

Интересные факты
 Пока была известна только одна болонская голова Лемнии, её принимали за изображение юноши. И лишь находка второй головы (с торсом) позволила идентифицировать её как изображение богини.

A Magic Train to the Magic Kingdom?!
I once had a dream that they had built an extension of the Disneyland monorail from the Magic Kingdom to Saint George, Utah.

APC's Women's Rights Programme convened a meeting on feminism, sexuality, technology and violence at Rutgers University Center for the Study of Genocide and Human Rights in the United States in November. The three-day meeting ranged from setting out definitions to practical concerns and future collaboration. The meeting grew out of the Exploratory Research Online (EROTICS) undertaken in 2008 with research projects in five countries. Phase 2 of this project included a survey of sexual rights activists about their online experiences. Many were impressed to hear that 98% of sexuality rights activists who completed the survey said that the internet was critical to their work. However, over half reported receiving threats online and 27% said that they had stopped some of their work online in response. This demonstrates a truly chilling effect and the need for sexuality rights activists to understand how to protect themselves and their organizations online. This is one reason why APC arranged this meeting.
Women present described taking steps to prevent being "d0xxed", having one's personal information exposed in a systematic and threatening way. Threats from individuals who may seek to intimidate others or provoke others to violence are not the only worries. Since the meeting, Scott Long has spelled out how Facebook inadvertently jeopardizes users who may be identified as gay through that platform, which is easily surveyed by governments including in places where same-sex sexual activity is criminalized or used to harass people. This is only one kind of surveillance of people deemed to be subversive; for example, surveillance of political groups is far more widespread than those advocating for sexuality rights. Quinn Norton shared advice about how to evaluate which activities may be more or less notable to surveyors and made recommendations for privacy and security for activists and for writers to protect their sources. These included turning off Java in your browsers, using encrypted chat (like Crypto.cat) and not using photos but instead screenshots of pictures so that metadata will not reveal the time and location where the photo was taken. The discussion was timely for privacy advocates: the United Nations is deliberating over a Resolution on Privacy in the Digital Age.
Twitterati present used the hashtag #eroticscon, so everyone can read the summary of the discussion. The discussion has been recorded on Storify in three parts, one for each day. The first day of the meeting was devoted to clarifying terms and the participants' stances, including what is meant by the terms incitement and hate speech, as well as whether online violence is treated differently from offline violence, and whether it should be. Discussion on the second day identified contentious issues in the United States, including varying access to information and technology broken down along lines of class and race, the use of anti-trafficking initiatives against sex workers, problems resulting from abstinence-only sex education, responses to sexual violence, religious freedom being used to justify denying insurance coverage of birth control prescriptions, criminalization of youths' sexual activity, and the list went on. It was clear that the US is not a haven where information is free, if you are looking for information about sexuality, and that limits on information affect youth and people with fewer resources, which in the US frequently correlates with people of colour and minorities.
The final day focused on ways forward, including using examples of gender-based violence online to explain that this happens and how frequently it happens to people who may otherwise not see it. While online speech that is overtly hostile to women, or any other group, is not per se violence, when such sentiments are widespread and overtly stated (and in some parts of the internet, they are), this can culminate in a situation that is conducive to violence, both physical and online in non-physical settings. An example of the intersection of online and offline use of information to hurt people is outing transgender women to their employers and others by trans-exclusionary radical feminists (TERFs). Another was the sharing of sexual content without consent of the parties involved, more colloquially called "revenge porn", which one response has been APC's celebrated Take Back the Tech (TBTT) campaign, for which this year's theme is public versus private. A few years ago, TBTT campaigned for people not to forward violence, both in the form of sexual content shared without consent and recordings of physical violence.
Overall, it was agreed that legal restrictions on content are not helpful because they are often used in unhelpful ways (consider the way restricting pornography has limited access to information about breast cancer) and, as others have written, technology cannot solve social problems but can be used as a tool to improve situations and can simultaneously exaggerate or amplify problems.
The US location of the meeting prompted long discussions about US-based corporations that govern the internet and home-based activism that has considerable influence over internet governance. Therefore, mobilizing US-based activists on privacy, technology and sexual rights was seen as critical. Attendees agreed that while privacy issues are important to sexuality and rights activists, technical issues are not understood by all. And among people promoting privacy and technology, issues of sexual rights were recognized as an issue, but all agreed that more communication between these two groups could lead to better understanding and promote collaboration.
