As part of the 7th billion baby celebrations around the world baby Tiara Emmanuel has been nominated as the baby to represent PNG. Baby Tiara was born to 17-year-old, Kanua Darua, from Kerowagi in Chimbu province. The mother is a student at Kerowagi Secondary School and will be returning to complete her Grade 10 education next year. Baby Tiara will also be representing babies born of teenage parents and the risks associated with teen pregnancies.
A water and sanitation engineer, working with the Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Program (RWSSP) in PNG, has claimed there are four million Papua New Guineans drinking contaminated water. Stuart Jordan said in a study carried out in a village in Central province, his team discovered faeces contamination in water that was well over the World Health Organisation standard of 0-10 ppm (part per million).
See - PNG call for urgent new water legislation -- http://www.rnzi.com/pages/news.php?op=read&id=64356
The RWSSP is a project funded by the European Union with various water projects in 17 provinces. The program advocates that rural communities must have proper and clean water that is disease free for their use. It also encourages healthy practices through the simple hand washing method using soap and water and also encourages building of proper toilets.

Kokoda Track Safer
Australian Defence Force explosive ordnance disposal experts have made the Kokoda Track a little bit safer by helping to dispose of dangerous items at Myola near the top of the Owen Stanley Range and at Owers Corner.

In addition to the ordnance located on the Kokoda Track, Operation RENDER SAFE removed more than two thousand items with a net explosive quantity in excess of five tonnes from the Rabaul/East New Britain area.

Three provinces have completed their rolls - West New Britain, Central and Northern provinces.

Buk Bilong Pikinini

The eighth centre was opened on the 4th of October 2011 and is located in Port Moresby on the campus of the University of PNG and next to the largest settlement in town. This is the sixth Buk Bilong Pikinini to be opened in Port Moresby. The first Buk bilong Pikinini library was opened in April 2008, at the Children's HIV, Tuberculosis and Malnutrition ward at the Port Moresby General Hospital. The libraries outside Port Moresby are in Lae and Goroka.

Chief Justice Suspended
The National Executive Council has suspended the PNG Chief Justice, Sir Salamo Injia, and a tribunal appointed to investigate allegations of gross misconduct against him. Acting Prime Minister, Belden Namah, said the allegations raised against the chief justice dated back to 2009 and had nothing to do with the East Sepik Supreme Court reference, a statement re-affirmed by Attorney-General Dr Allan Marat.

ALICE DETOX LODGE can now offer a more personally suited detox for the individual budget.
Accommodation / detox food/ liver cleanse / smoothies / soups / broths / Green juices.
Fibres and other detox protocols / all treatments including massages, ozone.
Far infrared, heavy metal removal, Oxi bath, sound room, meditations.
5 nights/ 6 days: daily discussions on any topic or meditations.
After years of detoxing clients- and myself- after many years of researching and discovering new therapies and re-examining the old ways- it has all came down to the rationalization : not to eat!
Our human condition is made to fast.
Our forefathers, within their various religions and spiritual directions, all prescribed fasting.
As you know that we eat far to much. At least 50% more than we require.
And eating results in the spending of energy for the subsequent necessary digestion.
More we eat, more we are tired.
To have an healthy colon we have to eat lots of fibers.
But today, in our food chain, fibers are 70% less than we use to have.
Fruits have up to 17% more sugar than we use to have.
Fruits and vegetables contain pesticides.
Meat, fish and poultry contain chemical additives.
Processed food contain harmful preservatives.
It is vital to clean the colon and the liver regularly.
A clean colon strengthen the immune system.
We have the choice to correctly nurture our body, to choose wisely and consume organic food where possible. There is enough info in the internet and sufficient consciousness within us to discover how best to handle these issues successfully, which directly concern the very essence of our humanity and longevity.
During 6 days and 5 night of detox at ADL, we aim to deliver the ultimate, and this despite reducing the tariff.
On arrival, you will have a briefing and check up.
Once settled in your room, you will have a colon flush to drink, which take 2 hours to remove as much as possible from your colon.
Then only can you start the cleansing drink, which are to be taken every 3 hours.
The next day you will have a body salt scrub.
The skin is the third organ of elimination and has to be very clean.
We do not give massages anymore, as one has to saturate the skin with oil and this is now deemed to be a no-go in term of 2018 protocol.
For those who need it, a organic vegetable broth will be available on demand from 10h to 18h.
A fruit purée or green juice will be served in your room in the morning.
From the moment you wake up you will start your cleansing drink and 3 times a day another detoxifying protocol.
Veronique will be checking on you at all time, speaking with you about whatever you want to know and that she can share.
The advantages of this 2018 detox is that not only will your colon be totally cleansed, but that the liver will reset itself to its pure and natural function, in 4 days.
We have conducted a number of such fasts and they have proven extraordinary results.
This is the way, Veronique now wishes her clientèle to experience the ADL protocol.
The cost for the detox is R 16.000 to be paid in full prior to your arrival.
It is preferred that a deposit be made to confirm your booking.
Advise will be given concerning re-entering your life style after your detox.
Discussions will be held at your leisure and Veronique will remain hand-on at all times.
Please note that it will be preferable for you to bring your own WiFi device for your internet and calls, this should be VODACOM which is the only tower in close proximity.
Television has a negative effect on the state of mind and morale, so it would be better to a avoid saturating your body and mind further with what made you decide to detox!
It will be Veronique pleasure to introduce you to meditation.
It's benefits, it's healing power and it's simplicity.
Your body mind organism is your pet, cherish it.
Who you really are is another story.
083 625 1717 Directions will be given by another mail.
ADL is not far from Lanseria Airport in Johannesburg.
A shuttle can be organized.
After confirmation of availability, we require a non-refundable deposit of R3000 in order to secure your booking for treatment. Until this is received your booking is unconfirmed.
You will receive an invoice by e mail for the balance of your treatment and payment must be made by EFT to Alice Detox Lodge 4 weeks before your course commences. Failing this, we reserve the right to cancel the booking.
Payment must please be made in SA Rands to the banking details supplied to you by e mail. Please make sure you use your name as a reference so that we can identify your EFT payment.
Less that 3 weeks prior to commencement no refund.
Between 3 to 8 weeks prior - 60% of total cost.
Upwards of 12 weeks prior 50% of the deposit.
Alice Detox Lodge will make every effort to place clients in a future treatment programme. Note that 2 months notice is requested.

FIRE > Newsdesk > Speech Codes of the Year: 2007
Speech Codes of the Year: 2007
by Samantha Harris
As Torch readers know, each month FIRE singles out a particularly egregious speech code for our Speech Code of the Month award. While all twelve Speech Codes of the Month for 2007 were both tragic and laughable, I would like to highlight a few that deserve special mention as our Speech Codes of the Year:
Northeastern University in Boston. Northeastern's Appropriate Use of Computer and Network Resources Policy provides that no student may use Northeastern's information systems or facilities to "[t]ransmit or make accessible material, which in the sole judgment of the University is offensive…."
McNeese State University in Louisiana. McNeese State maintains what is possibly the most restrictive free speech zone policy FIRE has ever seen, with the possible exception of Texas Tech's infamous free speech gazebo: The "Public Forum Regulations" provide that students may exercise their right to speak and demonstrate—a right guaranteed to students of this public institution by the First Amendment—in just two "zones." Even within those zones, students may only speak in the zones once per week, for a maximum of two hours; student groups may only demonstrate "once during each Fall, Spring, and summer session in the assigned demonstration zone only"; applications to use the zones must be received at least 72 hours in advance; and the zones may only be used from dawn to dusk, Monday through Friday.
Lewis-Clark State College in Idaho. Lewis-Clark's student harassment policy prohibits "Any practice by a group or an individual that…embarrasses…a member of the College community…" on college-owned or controlled property. This is reminiscent of one of last year's Speech Codes of the Year, Jacksonville State University, which at the time prohibited "offending" anyone on university property.
Since Speech Code of the Month became a regular feature in June 2005, seven universities have fully revised the policies that earned them the dubious distinction. It is our hope that in 2008, yet more universities—including those named here—will make the changes necessary to give their students the freedom they deserve. Happy holidays, and look for 2008's first Speech Code of the Month next week!

Dude ranches are the original Western vacation. Our first ranchers introduced the unique beauty of the American West to "dudes" from all over. All this happened in the best way possible: from the back of a horse. This horseback adventure was surrounded by honest and real Western hospitality that these dude ranch pioneers considered a part of the code of the west.
The Dude Ranchers' Association was founded to preserve, protect, and promote their unique vacation experience and its identity. Though guest expectations have changed and ranchers have had to change with them, the core principles of dude ranching remain the same.

Q: How do I do a SQL query that finds numbers in a field that is only 6 characters long and starts with the number 5? See the following code:
select no_
from dbo.customer
where no_ like '5%%%%%'

A: Use:
select no_ from dbo.customer where no_ like '5_____'

LIKE operator recognizes two wildcard characters :

*

*% - The percent sign represents zero, one, or multiple characters

*_ - The underscore represents a single character

A: Well, you would do:
 select no_ from dbo.customer where no_ like '5%'

% is a wildcard that matches any number of characters, including none.
If you want to guarantee exactly 6 characters as well:
 select no_ from dbo.customer where no_ like '5_____'

_ is a wildcard that matches exactly one character.

A: i would also add isnumeric
select no_ from dbo.customer where no_ like '5_____' and ISNUMERIC(no_) = 1

But not all emotions are alike in bipolar disorder; in fact, they seem to have particular kinds of positive emotions. They report feeling more achievement and self-focused emotions like pride and rewarding feelings like joy. They don't differ social emotions that connect us with others, like love and compassion. "This mirrors early clinical observations and more recent scientific work," Gruber says - that people with bipolar disorder set very high, ambitious goals, are sensitive to rewards, and in periods of mania, some believe they have special powers.

Mon Update: Box Office Analysis: The Expendables 2 #1, Bourne Tumbles to #2, ParaNorman #3, Sparkle #5
August 18, 2012 August 22, 2012 Trevor Anderson	0 Comments box office, diary of a wimpy kid: dog days, hope springs, paranorman, sparkle, The Bourne Legacy, the campaign, the dark knight rises, the expendables 2, the odd life of timothy green, total recall
Monday Actuals Update
Box Office estimates for the August 17-19, 2012 weekend are coming in a little luke warm for The Expendables 2. I suppose we can still blame these numbers on the shaky turnout at theaters after the Aurora incident and now we had bomb threats this weekend. Estimated at only $28 million for the weekend that's under both our predictions of $37 and $38 million and the originals opening weekend of $34.8 million. There's a big chance this doesn't go over $100 million domestic total. It is getting a CinemaScore of A-, but there's something strange that happens with this movie that may erode the good word of mouth. People are making a lot of exceptions and excuses for this film having a bad or no plot saying that the explosions and fun more than make up for it. The majority of the reviews say that this second outing has all the same problems the first one did. I hope I'm wrong, but I don't see this having that strong of a hold.
The Bourne Legacy looks to fall a tad more than 50% in its second weekend for $17 million. Better word of mouth probably could have had it in the 40%'s. This should ease up to around $100 million, not sure if its the hit Universal wanted.
ParaNorman had a Friday that was right in line with Coraline's. That film went on to make $16.8 million in its opening. As other kid movies moved to a summer release this pulled in a little low at $14 million. With a CinemaScore of B+ word of mouth should be warm but not hot.
Another B CinemaScore earner fell just 50% in its second weekend. The Campaign comes in at $13 million and like most comedies won't make triple digits.
Sparkle, Whitney Houston's last performance, earned $11.6 million which is both my $14 million prediction and Jason's $13 million. A CinemaScore of A was unable to bring in any more of an audience.
Rounding out the new releases The Odd Life of Timothy Green made a surprising $10.8 million. That's close to my $8 million prediction, but a stones throw from Jason's $4 million. The film has already made $4.3 million since its Wednesday opening, a smart move to get out of the way of the other releases this weekend. It used to be a special release for big films to add a few more days to a weekend, but we've seen this happening more and more with smaller films to get outside of the weekend.
Hope Springs had a great hold of around 37% for a $9.1 million weekend. This is looking to prove to be a minor hit, much like The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel was earlier this year. Granted Hope Springs will spring past Marigold's $45.4 million total, but it did have a much larger release and more well known domestic stars.
Total Recall is just a little bit behind Underworld Awakening at this point. Recall has $51.7 million to Awakening's $54.3 million. I have always said these two would be comparable in the box office, not only because the talent is practically the same, but the film appeared to be a small Screen Gems type sic-fi actioner rather than a big Sony produced blockbuster. I like director Len Wiseman, and he's proved he can make big budget flicks with the last Die Hard movie, but he's got to break out of casting his wife, the beautiful Kate Beckinsale, in leading roles in his flicks. While I'm sure Paul WS Anderson is happy, he's stuck in Screen Gems jail right now because of constantly casting his wife, the lovely Milla Jovovich, in everything he does. Or at least get someone bigger than Collin Farrell (I have nothing against Farrell, but he's a dud at the box office) to headline.

Aloe 'Sunrise' - A wild looking aloe that forms a cluster of 6 to 12 inch tall rosettes of gray-green leaves that have broken raised longitudinal orange ridges, like long dashes, on the upper surface of the leaves and orange-red flowers that rise above the leaves in winter. Plant in full sun to light shade in a well-drained soil and give occasional to infrequent irrigation. Hardy to around 25� F. This is one of the new Kelly Griffin fancy-foliage hybrids that is being sold by Xeric Growers Nursery. As with many of Kelly's hybrids, this plant involves the crossing of several species over a number of generations. Xeric Growers notes that "Sunrise has incredible red highlighted ridges that cover the leaves. In good light, this plant blushes red and is a true stunner." Our plants and images from Xeric Growers Nursery. This description is based on our research and observations made of this plant as it grows in our nursery, in the nursery garden and in other gardens that we have visited. We will also incorporate comments received from others and always appreciate getting feedback of any kind from those who have some additional information about this plant, in particular if this information is contrary to what we have written or if they have additional cultural tips that would aid others in growing Aloe 'Sunrise'.


Animated and in 3D, Charles Dickens' beloved holiday story, A Christmas Carol, spills onto screens again. A garish demonstration of the capabilities of the new 3D technology, the story only pops out when it possesses an opportunity to show off the technology.
Scrooge (Jim Carrey) is a miserly old man who holds tight each penny in his pocket. After his business partner, Marley (Gary Oldman) dies, Scrooge loses all perspective, turning even surlier than he was before. Devoid of all Christmas spirit, Scrooge tries to drain the spirit out of everyone around him. The spirits of Christmas Past, Present and Yet to Come (All voiced and drawn to look like Jim Carrey) warn him about the consequences of inhospitality and holding on to his money too tightly.
Robert Zemeckis should hold his head in shame for such a disgusting display of technology driven plot. He both "wrote" and "directed" this version of "A Christmas Carol." A responsible director-writer would make Marley, the Spirits and Scrooge feel like they within hands reach by re-arranging the 3D to places in the plot that are enhanced by the extra dimension. Instead, he created a masturbatory mess.
The plot is carved back to the bare minimum and stripped of all opportunity to connect with the audience emotionally. In fact, Zemeckis relies heavily on that fact that A Christmas Carol is so ubiquitous that he commits the sin of Cliff's Notes. Taken on its face, having no prior knowledge of A Christmas Carol, a viewer would see it as shallow and infuriating. The plot is replaced with scenes meant to show off the remarkable 3D technology. 3D Scenes drone on twice as long as the plot they are supposed to enhance. The floor drops away, fingers are pointed at the audience, and characters are dangled from different angles. In fact, no opportunity to sacrifice the plot for the technology was missed.
Even still, the 3D is so good, it might have been fun to watch this tech demo if the voice acting was varied, interesting and sincere. It wasn't. Jim Carrey plays Scrooge in all five stages of his life, as well as the Ghost of Christmas Past, Present and Future and he does it terribly. Scrooge lacks any depth, has no resonance, all changes seen seem forced and shallow. The Ghost of Christmas Past can only be appreciated by a herpetologist or a speech pathologist and I am neither of those. The Ghost of Christmas Present's insipid laughter made me consider leaving the theater, but that would mean abandoning my mother-in-law in her seat, and even I'm not that mean. The only saving grace in Carrey's performance is that the Ghost of Christmas Future barely talks.
Radio Disney brought teams of children to see A Christmas Carol at the press screening I attended. There were scenes that frightened the tiny so badly that they began to cry, scream and cuddle up in the arms of their mothers. There were times during A Christmas Carol I considered jumping into my mother-in-law's lap and cry like a baby.
This may go down as a rumble worthy topic at family holiday parties because my hubby's-mummy liked A Christmas Carol. I suggest instead of wasting money seeing such a despicable waste of a classic story, spend the same money seeing the play at a local theater.

The 1986 MTV Video Music Awards aired live on September 5, 1986, honoring the best music videos from May 2, 1985, to May 1, 1986. The show was hosted by MTV VJs Downtown Julie Brown, Mark Goodman, Alan Hunter, Martha Quinn, and Dweezil Zappa, and it emanated primarily from both The Palladium in New York City and the Universal Amphitheatre in Los Angeles. Other parts of the show, however, took place in various locations such as London, Miami, and New Haven, Connecticut.

The night's biggest winner and one of the year's two most nominated artists was Norwegian group a-ha, which won eight out of eleven awards it was in contention for.  Their video for "Take On Me" earned six awards out of eight nominations, including Viewer's Choice, while "The Sun Always Shines on T.V." won two awards out of three nominations.

The other most nominated artist was rock group Dire Straits, whose video for "Money for Nothing" also earned eleven nominations and won two awards, including Video of the Year.  Thus, "Money for Nothing" was also the most nominated video at the 1986 VMAs.

Background
MTV announced in June that the 1986 Video Music Awards would be held at New York's Palladium and Los Angeles's Universal Amphitheatre on September 5. Nominees were announced on August 4. The decision to broadcast the ceremony from multiple venues came out of a desire to make the ceremony more casual, as did the decisions to forego a traditional host, present awards throughout the venues instead of at a podium, and loosen time limitations. Winners were selected by a group of over 1,700 individuals from the recording industry. The ceremony was preceded by a two-hour MTV VMA 1986 Pre-Game Show special. Hosted by Bob Costas and Huey Lewis, the pre-taped special highlighted the nominees.

OSHKOSH – Duarn Vue's work rate was enough to earn him a WBA Intercontinental Featherweight championship Saturday at the Menominee Nation Arena.
Vue, from Madison, won a unanimous decision over Nehomar Cermeno in the main event of the inaugural boxing event at the Oshkosh venue, although none of the three judges had it as a landslide win.
Two of the judges scored the bout 116-111 for the winner, while the third had the final margin 114-113 as Vue improved to 14-1.
Vue was the aggressor from the outset but had some difficulty catching Cermeno, who used good movement to avoid much of Vue's attack.
Then, late in the second round, Cermeno caught Vue with a short right-hand counterpunch that dropped Vue to a knee. It would be the only knock down of the main event.
Vue didn't show any aftereffects from the knockdown and continued to push the action against Cermeno. He was at his best when he was able to force Cermeno into a corner or against the ropes when he could deliver multiple punches.
That was the recipe for the victory. Vue consistently outworked Cermeno in punch numbers and avoided taking much damage from Cermeno's counterpunches.
The main event was one of three title fights on the card and the penultimate fight provided some of the best action of the night as Mike Montoya Jr. won a close decision over Cesar Ruiz to claim the vacant WBF North American Junior regional championship in the middleweight division.
Both fighters churned out an impressive work rate as much of the fight took place in the center of the ring with Montoya and Ruiz firing punches in bunches.
Ruiz seemed to have a slightly higher output, but Montoya landed the harder punches to offset his opponent. Both fighters raised their hands as the decision was read with Montoya winning by scores of 58-55, 58-55 and 57-56.
Deonte Wilson captured the WBF USA Lightweight championship with a TKO victory over Roberto Acevedo in the first title fight of the night.
Wilson was controlling the action through the first four rounds and then stepped it up even more in the fifth. He connected with a big right hook that stunned Acevedo and then ripped an upper cut later in the round that also appeared to do damage.
When the two fighters went to their corners after the fifth round, Acevedo's corner stopped the fight.
Three of the four preliminary fights ended in knockouts including a pair of first-round finishes in the first two bouts.
Preston King, who replaced Darrius Flowers on the original card, stopped Sione Tu'Ukofe Finau, scoring a TKO at 2:12 in the opening round. King carried the action and avoided the wild shots from Finau before knocking him down with a right hand. Finau was able to beat the count back to his feet but the fight was stopped.
Donte Randall had the shortest fight of the night and needed just one punch — a huge left hook — to knock out Richard Tallamage just 18 seconds into their super bantamweight fight. It was Randall's professional debut.
Rashid Stevens won by TKO after the second round when Antoine Elerson didn't come out for the bell in the third. Elerson appeared to have injured his hand during the fight and couldn't continue.
Rogers Semitala remained undefeated improving to 10-0 with a unanimous decision over Dewayne Wisdom. Semitala won by judges scores of 58-56, 58-56 and 60-55.
The next boxing night at the Menominee Nation Arena, again promoted by Superior Hits Promotions, will be in July.

The Battle of Uddevalla took place at Uddevalla on August 28, 1677 as part of the Scanian War.

Prelude
After the fall of Marstrand to the Norwegians, Gothenburg had become vulnerably exposed. Magnus Gabriel de la Gardie assembled a force of 3,000 Swedes of which 1,200 were fresh cavalry recruits and 1,500 were impressed Dalecarlians. The force camped at Vänersborg on August 10, and moved from there to Uddevalla. However, a strong Danish-Norwegian force of 5,600 men led by Ulrik Fredrik Gyldenløve was approaching from Norway and caught up with the Swedish force.

The battle
De la Gardie deployed his troops for a set-piece defence, but the Gyldenløve began flanking the Swedes, attempting to cut off their escape route to the river Göta älv. De la Gardie had to order his cavalry to cover the Swedish infantry's retreat to the river, but when the superior Danish cavalry charged the Swedish cavalry, it ran away without firing a shot. De la Gardie himself was almost captured, and the battle devolved into a disorganized rout (a Danish source described the Swedes "scampering like hares among the rocks"). Only at Kuru Bro, 5 km east of Uddevalla, did the fleeing Swedes make a stand. The Dalecarlians held their positions, their pikes defending the bridge from the attacking cavalry until the Swedish force had crossed, after which the bridge was demolished.

Aftermath
The Swedish army reached safety behind Göta Älv, but its losses amounted to 500 men and 9 cannons. The outcome of the battle was blamed on the poorly trained Swedish troops and the incompetence of de la Gardie as a military leader. After the battle, he requested and was relieved of his command, with sharp reprimands from the king.

Berëzovo () è un insediamento urbano e centro amministrativo dell'omonimo distretto. Conta una popolazione, al censimento russo del 2002, di poco più di  abitanti. Si trova  a nord della città di Tobol'sk, ed è sito su tre colline presso la riva sinistra del fiume Severnaja Sos'va,  a monte della sua confluenza nel fiume Ob'. La temperatura annua media è di , con punte minime di .

Storia
Berëzovo fu fondata come insediamento fortificato nel 1593, che crebbe successivamente come città. Essa fu al centro luogo di esilio a partire dal XVIII secolo. A Berëzovo fu esiliato e morì (1729) il principe Aleksandr Danilovič Menšikov, favorito dello zar Pietro il Grande e della di lui moglie zarina Caterina I e l'anno successivo vi fu esiliato con la famiglia pure il suo acerrimo rivale, principe Dolgorukov. Nel 1742 vi fu esiliato con la moglie il generale Andrej Ivanovič Osterman, che ivi morì cinque anni dopo. Nella sua cattedrale sono inumate le salme di Marija Aleksandrovna Menšikova, figlia di Menšikov che aveva tentato di fidanzarla allo zar Pietro II e di alcuni membri della famiglia Dolgorukov. Nel XIX secolo Berëzovo fu mèta per l'esilio di numerosi decabristi e nel XX secolo vi furono esiliati dal regime zarista numerosi rivoluzionari.
Successivamente venne il declino ed oggi è un insediamento urbano di minor importanza.

TF1 closes deals on Once in a Lifetime
By Melanie Goodfellow2014-05-23T11:58:00+01:00
EXCLUSIVE: Buyers snap up classroom drama screening in Cannes.
Heartwarming, inner city classroom drama Once in a Lifetime (Les Héritiers), which is screening in Ecrans Juniors in Cannes, has scored top marks with buyers.
Paris-based TF1 International has sold the film to Benelux (Cineart), Switzerland (Pathé), Italy (Lucky Red), Spain (A Contracorriente), Airlines (Skeye), Israel (Lev Films), Turkey (Kurmaca), Greece (Seven Films) and Portugal (Outsider).
UGC will release the film in France on October 1.
Filmmaker Marie-Castille Mention-Schaar, whose previous credits include Bowling, is in Cannes this week to present the film to the youthful audiences of Ecrans Juniors.
The film revolves around a high-school teacher who is determined to give the best education she can to her tough, underprivileged pupils.
In a bid to get them motivated she challenges them to enter a national high school revolving around the theme of "children and teenagers in Nazi concentration camps". They rise to the challenge.
Ecrans Juniors, which is organised by local cinephile organisation Cannes Cinema, presents eight features suitable for a teenage audience on the fringes of the Cannes Film Festival.
Other hot titles on TF1's slate include the French multicultural marriage comedy hit Serial (Bad) Weddings which sold to several territories early on in the market.

I absolutely adore eating out. Not only do I get out of the chore of cooking, but I also manage to avoid the cleanup afterwards too! Taste-testing international cuisine is a personal favourite hobby of mine, but unfortunately, my pants are starting to feel a bit snug. So now I have a new passion, which is choosing healthy foods while still enjoying eating out! My blog is all about the best food choices to make when you are not dining at home. There is no need to avoid going out to eat at restaurants, you just need to make better food choices while you are there.
Buffets are a good idea for any large party, as a buffet requires less wait staff to assist during mealtime and also provides a nice variety of food for everyone in attendance. If you're planning a casual wedding or any type of party in the near future, note a few of the best foods to consider for your buffet.
Ham is a very inexpensive meat that is easy to glaze and cook—and just about everyone loves it! You can pair ham with a wide variety of side dishes, from au gratin or mashed potatoes to a simple vegetable dish or salad. You can also slice ham and create a sandwich buffet with toasted rolls and a slaw topping—perfect for a summer luncheon or kids party.
If you want to do all the cooking for your casual party, baked penne is a great choice. You can easily make baked penne the night before your party by boiling the noodles and then arranging them in a baking dish with your selection of cheeses and cream and even chicken or sausage. Keep the pans refrigerated, and then put them in the oven right before your party begins. When guests are ready to eat, you'll have hot, bubbly pasta that is very filling and sure to please a crowd.
Shredded beef cooked in a barbecue sauce is a great way to serve a cheap cut of beef to a very large crowd. Cooking the beef right in the barbecue sauce makes it tender and flavourful, and this dish can be served on its own or with rolls and bread for sandwiches. This is also a simple dish to prepare yourself, as you can cook the beef in the barbecue sauce the night before your event and then simply slide these pans back in the oven for a quick warm-up right before everyone is ready to eat.
One reason that Italian pizza is such a great choice for a party buffet is that you can choose a wide variety of toppings and flavours, so it's easy to please a crowd when you offer pizza at your party. You might have a few vegetarian pizzas with just tomatoes, onions, peppers and cheese, or you could opt for something thick and hearty with a selection of sausages and beef. Pizza is also so filling that you can have it as your only menu option or include a light salad and dessert for a full meal!
