Sections Hemorrhage Embolization Imaging
Technique and Equipment
Embolization is useful in a broad spectrum of clinical situations. Embolization can be particularly effective in cases of hemorrhage, regardless of whether the etiology is trauma, tumor, epistaxis, postoperative hemorrhage, or gastrointestinal hemorrhage. Embolization can be performed anywhere in the body that a catheter can be placed, including intracranial vasculature, head and neck, thorax, abdomen, pelvis, and extremities. With the availability of coaxial microcatheters, superselective embolizations can be performed. For most patients, embolization for hemorrhage is preferable to surgical alternatives.
Intra-abdominal hemorrhage secondary to liver and kidney injury is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Endovascular arterial embolization is an established interventional radiology technique used to treat active bleeding. Its role in managing abdominal hemorrhage is growing, given the increasing trend toward conservative treatment. Literature data show that endovascular embolization represents the treatment of choice for acute abdominal bleeding of hepatic and renal origin, as it can provide complete therapeutic success in hemodynamically stable patients. [1]
Interventional radiologists are often called for emergent control of abnormal uterine bleeding. Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is the most common cause. It is defined as blood loss of 500 mL after vaginal delivery or 1000 mL after cesarean section, or any amount of blood loss that creates hemodynamic instability in the mother. PPH can be a life-threatening emergency and is a leading cause of maternal mortality requiring prompt action. Transcatheter uterine artery embolization is a nonsurgical, minimally invasive, extremely safe and effective treatment for controlling excessive bleeding in the female reproductive tract, usually after conservative measures have failed. [2] It offers an acceptable, effective alternative to hysterectomy, particularly for patients who desire future fertility. [3]
The main clinical treatments for tumor-associated hemorrhage include systemic therapy, application of hemostatic drugs, blood transfusion, symptomatic support therapy, and endoscopic interventional hemostasis. With the development of interventional radiology, it has been found that transcatheter arterial embolization can quickly detect and accurately embolize arterial blood vessels. This is the preferred treatment for patients with tumor-associated hemorrhage. [4]
The percutaneous nephrolithotomy method is most often used to treat urinary stone disease. Bleeding is the most feared complication of this method. Transcatheter coil or medical glue embolization is used to treat this bleeding complication. Subcutaneous fat tissue embolization for percutaneous nephrolithotomy-related bleeding is a safe and reliable treatment option. [5]
Life expectancy has increased, as has the number of elderly patients admitted to an emergency department with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. These patients should be considered for treatment despite age, with endovascular embolization the most preferred option. [6]
A pilot study found that perioperative middle meningeal artery (MMA) embolization could be offered as the least invasive and most effectual means of treatment for patients with 1 or more recurrences of intractable chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH). Patients were divided into an embolization group and a conventional group. Older age and antiplatelet drug use were comparatively related to the embolization group (P< 0.05). Among imaging study variables, severe brain atrophy and hematoma bilaterality were the risk factors for necessity of MMA embolization (P< 0.05). Complication rate and functional outcomes were not significantly different between groups (P>0.05). To eliminate the arterial supply of the external membrane of CSDH, 2 branches of the MMA were selected and occluded by injection of polyvinyl alcohol particles. [7]
Pulmonary hemorrhage, also referred to as massive hemoptysis, is a potentially life-threatening condition involving bleeding from the pulmonary or bronchial vasculature. Because mortality is high with this condition, bronchial artery embolization is of paramount importance for rapid evaluation, stabilization, and proper definitive care. This is often considered first-line management for massive pulmonary hemorrhage. Site selection is usually based on radiographic signs of hypertortuosity, artery hypertrophy, aneurysm, or arteriovenous malformation (AVM). Once found, suspected sources of bleeds are embolized via microspheres, gelatin sponges, or coils. Re-bleeding will occur in approximately 30% of patients within 30 days. Lobe resection should be a consideration. With current technology, the complication rate of anterior spinal artery embolization is between 0 and 1%. [8]
Endovascular embolization has become an effective method for treatment of intractable epistaxis. However, complications such as facial pain, headaches, aphasia, hemiplegia, and transient blindness can occur during or after surgery. [9]
(See the images below.)
Digital-subtraction angiogram of the right external carotid artery (EC) in a 73-year-old woman with a 1-day history of epistaxis. This image demonstrates a suspicious blush of contrast off one branch of the internal maxillary artery (IM) within the highlighted area. Hemorrhage continued despite anterior and posterior nasal packing.
Digital-subtraction angiogram of the right internal maxillary artery in a 73-year-old woman with a 1-day history of epistaxis (same patient as in the previous image). This image confirms the area of blush and further demonstrates active extravasation from the sphenopalatine branch of the internal maxillary artery. A coaxial microcatheter was placed in the internal maxillary artery.
Postembolization digital-subtraction angiogram in a 73-year-old woman with a 1-day history of epistaxis (same patient as in the previous 2 images). This image demonstrates cessation of flow past the mid portion of the internal maxillary artery. The internal maxillary artery was embolized using polyvinyl alcohol. No further evidence of extravasation is seen.
Bronchial artery embolization digital-subtraction angiogram of the right bronchial artery in a 46-year-old man with massive hemoptysis. Chest computed tomography scanning showed a consolidation of unknown etiology in the right upper lobe. Bronchoscopy confirmed the right upper lobe as the source of bleeding. The angiogram was performed with a Mikaelsson catheter in the descending thoracic aorta. The tip of the catheter is in the ostia to the right bronchial artery. The angiogram demonstrates an abnormally intense blush in the right upper lobe.
Bronchial artery postembolization digital-subtraction arteriogram in a 46-year-old man with massive hemoptysis (same patient as in the previous image). Four 1-cm straight coils were used to embolize the main trunk of the right bronchial artery. The arteriogram demonstrates complete embolization of the artery. The proximal trunk of the main artery is opacified.
Bronchial artery embolization in a 46-year-old man with massive hemoptysis (same patient as in the previous 2 images). This arteriogram is an unsubtracted image of the previous image. The straight coils are demonstrated more clearly. The patient's hemoptysis resolved postembolization.
Splenic artery angiogram in a 32-year-old man who was an unrestrained passenger in a head-on motor vehicle accident (same patient as in the previous image). There are numerous small areas of contrast accumulation in the splenic parenchyma known as the "starry night" appearance, which is consistent with splenic injury. At the junction of the mid and superior poles, an area of active extravasation is highlighted within the circled area.
Identifying hemorrhage
Embolization procedures begin with diagnostic angiography to identify the source of bleeding. For example, in epistaxis, angiography of the external carotid artery with attention to the internal maxillary artery can be helpful. [10, 11, 12, 13] In pelvic fracture, the internal iliac arteries are examined angiographically. [14, 15]
Selective or superselective angiography is more sensitive in finding the source of bleeding than are nonselective studies. [11, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20] Consequently, clinical suspicion and results of other imaging studies such as contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) scanning and radionuclide scans with technetium-99m (99mTc)–labeled red blood cells are important in guiding angiographic examination.
Palliative superselective vesical artery embolization is a feasible, effective, and safe procedure for controlling intractable hematuria in patients with pelvic malignancy. [21]
Choi and colleagues investigated the association between hepatic ischemic complications and hepatic artery (HA) collateral vessels and portal venous (PV) impairment after HA embolization for postoperative hemorrhage. After HA embolization, preserved HA flow (≥4 segmental HAs) lowered the risk of hepatic complications regardless of PV flow. Study authors concluded that transhepatic PV stent placement seems to be an effective intervention for prevention of hepatic complications in cases of poor HA collateral vessels and compromised PV flow. [22]
A retrospective analysis evaluated relevant management and rescue approaches for nasopharyngeal hemorrhage after radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Nasopharynx hemorrhage after radiotherapy was mainly associated with erosion of the internal carotid artery or the maxillary artery by the tumor. Researchers determined that anterior and posterior nostril packing, endoscopic nasopharynx electrocoagulation, and digital subtraction angiography embolization are suitable for treating nasopharyngeal hemorrhage. However, effective hemostasis depends on early identification of the bleeding vessels. [23]
For intra-abdominal bleeding, as occurs after complex trauma, CT scanning may identify the site of acute bleeding because acute bleeding often demonstrates higher density (Hounsfield units [HU]) than older blood; this is termed the "sentinel clot sign." [24]
(For angiograms of abdominal wounds, see the images below.)
Hepatic artery embolization digital-subtraction arteriogram of the common hepatic artery (CHA) in a 21-year-old male who was brought to the emergency department with a gunshot wound to the abdomen. Emergent exploratory laparotomy revealed that the bullet traversed the liver. Surgical measures to control the bleeding were unsuccessful. The abdomen was packed with surgical sponges and the patient brought to the angiography suite. This image shows that at the bifurcation of the proper hepatic artery (PHA), a large amount of extravasation is seen from where the bullet lacerated the artery. GDA = gastroduodenal artery.
Hepatic artery embolization digital-subtraction arteriogram of the proper hepatic artery in a 21-year-old male with a gunshot wound to the abdomen (same patient as in the previous image). A more selective injection with the tip of the catheter in the proper hepatic artery shows a large amount of extravasation from the lacerated artery. Note the subtraction artifact from the radiopaque markers on the surgical sponges. The artery was injured within the hepatic parenchyma, making surgical control difficult, if not impossible.
Hepatic artery postembolization arteriogram in a 21-year-old male with a gunshot wound to the abdomen (same patient as in the previous 2 images). Three 4-mm coils were placed in the mid portion of the proper hepatic artery. Complete embolization of the artery was accomplished. The patient experienced a transient rise in his liver function enzymes, which eventually normalized. The patient was released after a 1-month hospitalization without further sequelae.
Splenic artery embolization in a 32-year-old man who was an unrestrained passenger in a head-on motor vehicle accident. This computed tomography scan of the abdomen revealed a splenic laceration. The patient was hemodynamically stable with a falling hematocrit.
Splenic artery postembolization arteriogram in a 32-year-old man who was an unrestrained passenger in a head-on motor vehicle accident (same patient as in the previous 2 images). A microcatheter was used to select the segmental branch supplying the area of extravasation. Three 1-cm straight coils were placed. Repeat arteriogram showed no further evidence of extravasation. Note the wedge-shaped lack of perfusion to the mid spleen. The patient's bleeding was controlled, and he subsequently recovered well.
Hemorrhage is identified by active extravasation of contrast medium outside the confines of the vessel lumen. The angiographic appearance depends on rate and location of bleeding. Extravasating contrast medium may flow toward the dependent portion of the viscus; in the bowel, extravasated contrast may outline the mucosa. When the bleeding site and the artery have been identified on initial angiogram, a catheter—often a 3-French (3F) microcatheter—is placed as selectively as possible into the bleeding artery to confirm bleeding and to stop it with embolization.
Angiography in the setting of lower GI hemorrhage generally does not demonstrate unique diagnostic findings that explain the cause of bleeding—only the site of active bleeding. Thus, angiographic examinations are required during the episode of acute, brisk bleeding. In cases of recurrent occult GI bleeding, angiography can be performed electively in the hope of identifying a distinct finding such as angiodysplasia, AVMs, or intestinal varices. [24, 25]
A systematic review and meta-analysis was undertaken to compare postoperative hemorrhage rates between AVMs treated with and those treated without embolization prior to stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS). No significant difference in permanent neurologic deficits was identified between patients who had undergone embolization followed by SRS and those who had undergone SRS alone (odds ratio [OR] 1.175, 95% CI 0.626-2.206; P=0.616). Available data suggest that embolization before SRS did not reduce the postoperative hemorrhage rate and resulted in a significantly lower obliteration rate than that which occurred with SRS alone. [26]
Occasionally, provocative protocols that use angiography and infusions of lytic agents or heparin have been administered, although these techniques have produced mixed results. Carbon dioxide angiography may increase the yield of angiography in the acute GI bleeding scenario.
Pulmonary AVMs usually are congenital lesions, although they may occur after surgery or trauma. The congenital form is highly associated with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia, also known as Osler-Weber-Rendu Syndrome. This condition has a genetic predisposition and is associated with liver AVMs; however, preemptive treatment of the latter is unwarranted. Screening head CT scanning or MRI is important for excluding intracranial AVMs. [27]

One of Xen Project's highest priorities is to continually work to improve the quality of our code and code coverage. We're serious and proactive when it comes to minimising and, whenever possible, eliminating any adverse effects from defects, security vulnerabilities or performance problems. Our users run some of the largest cloud and datacenter operations in the world, so we know that reboots and service interruptions are more than mere glitches in operations.
That's why the Xen Project Advisory Board has made a significant investment to set up a Xen Project-owned Test Lab based on OSSTEST. We're excited to announce that the lab is now live and in production.
To help kick-start the lab, we created the Test Infrastructure Working Group, which helped source a COLO, spec out the hardware requirements for the test system and helped procure the machines needed to run OSSTEST. A special thank you goes to Ian Jackson, who has been instrumental in getting this effort off the ground over the past six months. We also appreciate contributions from our committee comprised of employees from AMD, Amazon Web Services, Citrix, Intel and Oracle, who have worked closely with our maintainers, project leads and wider community to create the new testing facility. As a result, we've decommissioned the old system run by Citrix as a service to the Xen Project community.
In this blog, we'll describe our platform in more detail, identify what' we're doing today with OSSTEST and new goals from our Test Infrastructure Working Group.

Taxi Talk Magazine
Taxi Talk, Voice of the Taxi Industry - issue #575, May 2016, celebrated its 50th year anniversary!
What an achievement - what a milestone - 50 years!
Taxi Talk, Voice of the Taxi Industry was the essential companion for the taxi owner, operator and driver in Victoria, Australia.
The first issue of Taxi Talk hit the depots on the first day of May 1966. The first magazine to serve the whole taxi industry in Victoria.
50 years ago Taxi Talk was a small, pocket size magazine, 8" x 5".
Then it became a B5 colour magazine produced monthly with contributions from all sectors of the Victorian taxi and associated industries and is written for all members, government and interested people, of the happenings in the Victorian taxi-cab industry. It was for the Taxi Driver, Taxi Operators, Taxi Owners, Industry Suppliers and Service Trade Providers to keep abreast of the Victorian Taxi Industry's news.
Past VTA President, Allen Lang used to say "The beginnings were small, however the aims and objectives were set - to get the facts and disseminate them effectively to the widest audience with provision for furores. Taxi Talk, so aptly named, has achieved its aims and continues to grow and be the premier taxi magazine in circulation. I have seen our convenient little soft cover magazine produced from Q.C. briefcases and bureaucrats' briefcases, at public hearings. I have seen it referenced to by Accountants, on Premier desks, in all its glory wrapped around handbrakes, under dashboards, in back pockets, front pockets and all importantly, being read."
Over the past 50 years there have been many and varied changes within the Victorian taxi industry, legislation implementation, livery, uniforms, depots and Taxi Talk has been there all the way reporting on all that has been happening.
During this time we have had a lot of growing pains, headaches and frustrations. We have made a few mistakes and had a few successes too.
The decision to publish Taxi Talk as a medium for dissemination for taxi news constituted a progressive move by the publishers for the Victorian taxi operators and drivers. This was and still is an intriguing and complex industry. Taxis were and are a key part of the public transport mix in the State of Victoria.
DRIVE A2B™ is published monthly and distributed widely to personnel in the Australian taxi, hire car, limousine and ride sourcing industry.
DRIVE A2B was born from a need to have a monthly journal collecting, collating and reporting information on the Victorian taxi, hire car and also the ride sourcing industry. Its inspiration was Taxi Talk magazine – voice of the Victorian taxi industry, which was published from May 1966 to April 2017.
In April 2017 Trade Promotions Pty Ltd (a family run business owned by Toni Peters, Stan & Isobel White), publishers of Taxi Talk magazine, revisited their ideals, goals and objectives, and believe that to remain competitive and relevant to this industry – the commercial passenger vehicle industry – it was time for Taxi Talk – Voice of the Victorian Taxi Industry to be re-branded.
May 2017 saw Trade Promotions Pty Ltd launch their new magazine – the new Voice of the Victorian Point-to-Point Transport Industry - DRIVE A2B.
September 2018 DRIVE A2B printed its first NATIONAL issue and is incorporating more industry information for every state and territory in Australia -
Victoria, New South Wales, ACT, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, Northern Territory, Tasmania.

The first step in using Pig is to load data into a program. Pig provides a LOAD statement for this purpose. Its format is: result = LOAD 'filename' USING fn() AS (field1, field2, ...).
This statement returns a bag of values of all the data contained in the named file. Each record in the bag is a tuple, with the fields named by field1, field2, etc. The fn() is a user-provided function that reads in the data. Pig supports user-provided Java code throughout to handle the application-specific bits of parsing. Pig Latin itself is the "glue" that then holds these application-specific functions together, routing records and other data between them.
The user-defined functions to load data (e.g., myLoad()) do not need to be provided. A default function for loading data exists, which will parse tab-delimited records. If the programmer did not specify field names in the AS clause, they would be addressed by positional parameters: $0, $1, and so forth.
A different argument could be passed to PigStorage() to read comma- or space-delimited fields.

But it is definitely beneficial to repair the problem your own. Here are the most typical errors you may encounter and how to solve them.
This type of Arch Linux Install Java Runtime may not be new to you. This is an os issue that can't be resolved using certain shortcut keys given that the change of a software or hardware on your computer caused it. Unplugging the recently connected hardware device would help. Same thing goes when a software recently installed is the main reason behind the error. To be able to access the desktop when this error occurs, you need to reboot it an open using the safe mode.
The RAM of your PC is also among the common areas where error takes place. Oftentimes the RAM space is not enough since we like to install new apps which need a huge memory. For this reason, a low virtual memory problem may take place. The main cause of its error will serve as your basis on which among the 2 troubleshoot alternatives you should consider. An additional chips added into RAM space is one of those solutions you can take. But if there is no issue with your RAM, all you have to do is to add some additional space in your page file. You could start the process by going to the control panel and simply clicking the advance setting.
There are instances that we experience missing file needed for some programs to run resulting to lost DLL files. One possible cause for this is the attack of virus. An updated version of anti-virus and also malwares will be the best answer for this type of error. On the other hand, if it is not virus which causes the Arch Linux Install Java Runtime then all you need to do is download a system file from the web or reinstall the software that's affected. One thing that you need to ensure when the solution needs you to download something is that to be vigilant about the trustworthiness of the host.

Q: How to use AutoMapper's ValueResolverAttribute I have used the attribute method of mapping (introduced in AutoMapper 8.0) to do a large amount of mapping to this point. I would prefer to keep going with the attribute method.
However, I do not know how to implement ValueResolverAttribute given the following scenario, where I try to map a string ("ConfigurationSetting.Key") to an object which contains more info about the given configuration setting ("ConfigurationSettingDTO.Key"):
SOURCE
public class ConfigurationSetting
{
    public string Key { get; set; }

    public string Value { get; set; }
}

DESTINATION
[AutoMap(typeof(ConfigurationSetting))]
public class ConfigurationSettingDTO
{
    [SourceMember(nameof(ConfigurationSetting.Key)), ValueResolver(typeof(ConfigurationSettingKeyResolver))]
    public ConfigurationSettingKey Key { get; set; }

    public string Value { get; set; }
}

CUSTOM VALUE RESOLVER
public class ConfigurationSettingKeyResolver : IValueResolver<ConfigurationSetting, ConfigurationSettingDTO, ConfigurationSettingKey>
{
    public ConfigurationSettingKey Resolve(ConfigurationSetting source, ConfigurationSettingDTO destination, ConfigurationSettingKey key, ResolutionContext context)
    {
        return ConfigurationSettingKey.GetSettingKeyById(source.Key);
    }
}

When implementing my attempt above, I receive the following exception during Startup:
NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
AutoMapper.Execution.TypeMapPlanBuilder.BuildResolveCall(Expression destValueExpr, IMemberMap memberMap)

The AutoMapper documentation does not explicitly go through how to use this attribute.

EDIT: To be clearer, the application crashes at the first line in the following block of code in Startup.cs:
var mapperConfig = new MapperConfiguration(cfg => cfg.AddMaps(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.GetAssemblies()));
IMapper mapper = mapperConfig.CreateMapper();
services.AddSingleton(mapper);

A: I discovered that my attribute was incorrect.
Instead of ValueResolver, I needed to use ValueConverter.
DESTINATION:
[AutoMap(typeof(ConfigurationSetting), ReverseMap = false)]
public class ConfigurationSettingDTO
{
    [ValueConverter(typeof(ConfigurationSettingConverter))]
    public ConfigurationSettingKey Key { get; set; }

    public string Value { get; set; }
}

CUSTOM VALUE CONVERTER:
public class ConfigurationSettingConverter : IValueConverter<string, ConfigurationSettingKey>
{
    public ConfigurationSettingKey Convert(string source, ResolutionContext context)
    {
        return ConfigurationSettingKey.GetSettingKeyById(source);
    }
}

A: One of the ways you could use it is to use a Profile Class, I am assuming, you are working in ASP.NET Core.
Consider this:
SOURCE:
public class ConfigurationSetting
{
    public string Key { get; set; }
    public string Value { get; set; }
}

DESTINATION:
public class ConfigurationSettingDTO
{
    public ConfigurationSettingKey Key { get; set; }
    public string Value { get; set; }
}

CUSTOME VALUE RESOLVER
public class ConfigurationSettingKeyResolver : IValueResolver<ConfigurationSetting, ConfigurationSettingDTO, ConfigurationSettingKey>
{
    public ConfigurationSettingKey Resolve(ConfigurationSetting source, ConfigurationSettingDTO destination, ConfigurationSettingKey key, ResolutionContext context)
    {
        // YOUR VALUE TO BE RETURNED HERE, YOU MIGHT WANT TO DOUBLE CHECK YOUR IMPLEMENTATION HERE
        return ConfigurationSettingKey.GetSettingKeyById(source.Key);
    }
}

Then Create a class that implements Profile like so:
CUSTOM PROFILE CLASS
public class YourCustomProfile : Profile
    {
          public GamingStandaloneProfile()
          {
               AllowNullCollections = true;
               AllowNullDestinationValues = true;

               CreateMap< ConfigurationSetting, ConfigurationSettingDTO>()
                    .ForMember(d => d.Key, opt => opt.MapFrom< ConfigurationSettingKeyResolver >());
          }
    }

Then in your Startup.cs Class do this.
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
          {
               ....
               services.AddAutoMapper(typeof(Startup));
          }

This is the last line to be called in the ConfigureServices Method. I hope this helps.
Regards.

KENT -- The stock newspaper headline might read "Local Boy Done Good." Perhaps the hardest working animator in Hollywood, Kent, Conn., native Seth MacFarlane has parlayed the success of his three prime-time animated series--"Family Guy," "American Dad" and "The Cleveland Show"--and last year's dark horse movie, "Ted," into a coveted gig this Sunday hosting the 85th Academy Awards.
That ascension comes as no surprise in his hometown, a beautiful, rural town with a fast-flowing river, soaring mountains and a vibrant arts-and-culture scene. In fact, Mr. MacFarlane was a noted talent from a tender age, and, while still in elementary school, he was illustrating a weekly comic strip for the hometown weekly paper, The Kent Good Times Dispatch.
The town's first selectman, Bruce Adams, was once Mr. MacFarlane's teacher at Kent Center School, the public elementary school that is part of the larger Region 1 school district in the Northwest Corner of Connecticut.
"He was hilarious, even when he was in seventh and eighth grades," said Mr. Adams, who taught social studies. "He was destined for something good."
Mr. Adams recalled a student who was always sketching and doodling--and conversing with teachers on an adult level. Mr. MacFarlane once did an impromptu illustration of Mr. Adams using one arm to stop a dreadful schoolyard bully, a drawing the former teacher has to this day.
Apparently a generous star when it comes to his hometown, Mr. MacFarlane has donated hefty sums of money to area civic organizations and a scholarship fund in the name of a late friend. Moreover, when Mr. Adams approached Mr. MacFarlane for a donation for a new outdoor basketball court at the elementary school, being built in honor of an area teacher who had died, Mr. MacFarlane gave the full amount for the project, $30,000.
As creative as Mr. MacFarlane is, Mr. Adams said the animator, voice actor and surprisingly competent singer "didn't have an athletic bone in his body."
"I very much appreciate the fact he hasn't forgotten his roots," Mr. Adams added.
Paulette Menniti-Pizzo, who had been the co-owner of the popular local restaurant Doc's before its recent closing, became friends with Mr. MacFarlane in grade school, and they are still in touch today. The two spoke just a couple weeks ago, but she noted that with the Oscars looming, her old friend is under an insanely hectic schedule.
When asked for a memory, she recalled having a locker next to his at Kent Center School, and that they shared a running joke about the overflowing content of his.
"If Seth went to his locker, everyone stepped aside because when he opened it his whole world came falling out," she said with a laugh. "He had that kind of amazing mind."
Ms. Menniti-Pizzo commented on how humble he has remained despite his great success, and how proud everyone in town is of that success (though perhaps not everyone at the private Kent School, whose headmaster once lobbied advertisers to pull their ads that ran during "Family Guy").
A longtime friend of the McFarlane family, Marge Smith, grew up on the South Kent School campus, where her parents and Mr. MacFarlane's parents worked. Twenty years older than Seth, she forged a friendship with his parents, Ron and Perry MacFarlane, that was so lasting she ultimately named her dog after Perry, when the puppy was born two days after Mrs. MacFarlane's death.
She knew Seth MacFarlane when he was a young boy, and until this day has a number of his early cartoons. Among them are two long, thin strips of drawings that Mr. MacFarlane refers to as his "first movie." They were based on a story Ms. Smith told the boy while she was caring for him and his sister after their mother had been in a serious accident.
In her story, she described her dogs, Jesse and Jack, and their individual efforts to retrieve treats from an automatic dispenser. Jesse, the smart one, immediately grasped that if she pressed a pedal, she got a treat. Jack, who was intellectually challenged, just couldn't get it. After two days of watching Jesse smugly prance past with a treat in her mouth, Jack was clearly frustrated.
"Finally you could see a glimmer of an idea forming in his mind," Ms. Smith said. "He ran toward the dispenser, picked up his paw and smashed it down, breaking the dispenser and sending bones everywhere."
It was no time at all before the youthful Mr. MacFarlane had deftly captured the prancing, self-satisfied Jesse, and the grimly determined Jack, in a series of drawings that, if rapidly unspooled, give the impression of movement.
Even at such a young age, Mr. MacFarlane was already the subject of media attention. He made his first appearance in The Litchfield County Times (LCT), when staff member Dorothy Lane wrote a feature about the 11-year-old "working cartoonist," who was then writing his second book. Already, he had defined his future. He said he was hoping to publish his books, to "draw comic books, do TV specials, and [pursue] his latest passion, animation."
At age 11, he was already using his father's camera to take pictures of toys that he would then draw, move slightly to another position, and photograph and draw again to produce a crude animation.
He had also already developed his penchant for performing and was appearing in plays at Kent Center School at the same time he pursued in interest in chorus and band.
The picture accompanying that early LCT story showed a young boy, his face all but hidden behind huge glasses, a mop of dark hair framing his face. In his hand he holds a pen, oddly upright between his index and middle fingers. "He always held his pen like that when he was drawing," remembered Ms. Smith. "His parents were always trying to get him to hold it normally."
Although there's a strong and fond bond between Kent and Mr. McFarlane, the relationship hasn't always been smooth, notably with one of the private schools in town, Kent School, where Perry MacFarlane worked and from which Seth MacFarlane graduated.
In July 1999, according to an LCT story, the headmaster at Kent School, the Rev. Richardson Schell, made national news when he launched a moral crusade against Mr. MacFarlane's irreverent animated sitcom "Family Guy."
Mr. MacFarlane graduated from the private prep school on the banks of the Housatonic River in 1991, and his mother resigned her position at the school in the spring of 1999, just months before Mr. Schell's attempts to get advertisers to pull the plug on their support of "Family Guy."
According to an obituary published in The Los Angeles Times, Mr. MacFarlane's mother, who died in July 2010 after a battle with cancer at her home in Ventura, Calif., had worked in the "Admissions Office at South Kent School and then in the College Guidance and Admissions Offices at Kent School."
The LCT's story, "The Headmaster vs. the Alumnus: Kent's Schell Battles 'Family Guy,'" said that under the letterhead of a group called Proud Sponsors USA, Mr. Schell had written in April 1999 to more than a dozen companies whose ads appeared during episodes of "Family Guy," urging them to drop their sponsorship.
According to the story, Mr. Schell admitted at the time that Proud Sponsors USA was made up of one person, himself, that he had never challenged any other TV show, and that he had previously had a dispute with the MacFarlane family over the name chosen for the fictional family in "Family Guy." In fact, the LCT reported, before the premiere of the animated show, Mr. Schell had asked Mr. MacFarlane to change the name of his fictional family from Griffin, "the surname of his longtime personal assistant, Elaine Griffin."
According to the LCT story, after Mr. MacFarlane said the change would be impossible, Mr. Schell pressed Mr. MacFarlane's mother, who then worked in the school's admissions office, to intervene. "The confrontation led to her resignation and move to California with Seth's father, Ron," the LCT story said.
According to a New York Times story, Mr. Schell said he wasn't pursuing a personal vendetta, but that Mr. MacFarlane's refusal to drop the name of someone who worked at Kent School prompted him to take a careful look at the show and its content.
As a result of Mr. Schell's letter, four major companies--Coca-Cola, Philip Morris, Kentucky Fried Chicken and Sprint--did pull their advertising, the LCT reported, saying that rather than being compelled to act directly by Mr. Schell's letter, they too took a closer look at the show and its content before making the decision to opt out.
This weekend, it's a safe bet that Mr. MacFarlane's role as host will only be another draw for advertisers to get in on the Oscars buzz, and also a safe bet that the folks back home in Kent, Conn., will be watching.


FOOTBALL: COVENTRY United moved a step closer to playing at Wembley after defeating Quorn FC 6-0 in the second round of the FA Vase.
United dominated the game from the start and, like the scoreline suggests, cruised through to the non-league knockout cup's third round.
Terry Anderson's men wasted no time in taking the lead when Lewis Rankin's corner found Robert Prinzel in the box, who made no mistake in heading United into the lead.
Quorn found themselves two goals down within two minutes when Ranking sent a powerful drive past Quorn keeper Liam Sharpe to gift the visiting side a second goal.
A couple of corners presented themselves to Quorn, but United dealt with them in confidence.
And it wasn't long until Anderson's men made it 3-0 when in-form striker Rankin turned inside the net from 25 yards into the top corner – leaving keeper Sharpe with no chance.
But not even a three goal lead inside the opening 14 minutes tempted United to sit back.
Kyle Barnett was forced into a goalline clearance on 17 minutes before Craig Reid had a powerful strike saved by Sharpe.
Quorn had the chance to pull a goal back on 40 minutes when Dominic Brennan's header sailed over the bar.
Tommy Glasscoe added to United's tally following the break with another top corner strike to make it 0-4.
Quorn responded well with chances coming their way in the 53rd and 56th minutes. But keeper Richard Morris proved a force to be reckoned with in goal as the clean sheet was still on.
Craig Reid then netted United's fifth following a break down the right to put the game beyond doubt.
A series of substitutions dampened the game, but United were soon back to their scoring ways when Jack Jeys added to United's impressive shooting to make it six.
United face a tricky away tie to Bromsgrove Sporting on December 2 in the third round.

HEC-Montreal's Department of Security Scores High Marks with its Upgrade to Hytera
Education | Case Study
Michel Gravel is the Director of Security at HEC-Montreal, one of the Canada's top ranked business schools. Mr. Gravel's primary mandate is maintaining the safety and security of all students, faculty and staff on HEC's campuses. One of the most critical components of the department's security program is its two-way mobile communication systems. So, when Mr. Gravel was charged with the task of updating his department's antiquated analog mobile communications system in 2016, he turned to one of Montreal-area's most experienced radio communications vendors, Jalec Communications.
Like many educational and public-service institutions across the country, the Security department of HEC-Montreal had been relying heavily on an aging Analog Mobile Radio system and infrastructure for their two-way communications. In Mr. Gravel's case, there were a few key factors at play that pointed toward the imminent need for a full communication systems and equipment upgrade.
Man-Down Feature
First and foremost, following an accident experienced by one of the department's on-duty guards, it became evident that the new system would require Man Down functionality – where the user's radio will automatically alert others that he or she has fallen down and might be hurt or otherwise incapable of actively communicating.
Channel Splitting & Emergency
Using their current analog equipment, one communication channel was being shared by all shifts, and across all buildings. Mr. Gravel wanted a system flexible enough to have the capacity to split channels between day shifts and night shifts, as well as across their two main campuses. A dedicated emergency channel was also mandated.
Analog System Support Cut-Off
In addition to needing a more functionally advanced and reliable system in place, the manufacturer of the radios they were using at the time, was no longer providing the ongoing support that the security department relied on when equipment repairs or system updates were required.
With increasingly higher demands for needing clear, reliable two-way communication compounded with decreasing support for its current analog system by the manufacturer at the time, Mr. Gravel saw that time had come for a full systems & equipment upgrade for his team of 26 security guards.
With a clear understanding of the school's challenges and requirements, Jacques Suave, President & CEO of Jalec Communications, and his team put forth a proposed solution based on Hytera Digital Mobile Radios (DMR). Jalec Communications has been selling, implementing and servicing Hytera radios and equipment for many years with tremendous success. Knowing how much manufacturer support was a critical element in maintaining a successful long-term relationship, Mr. Sauve turned to Hytera and their proven reputation for world-class customer support.
Digital Radios & Repeaters
At the heart of the system, two (2) powerful RD982 digital repeaters were installed, connected to one other on two separate buildings and connected to (3) antennae in each building, essentially creating an architecture of (6) antennae with excellent coverage. The installation of these two digital repeaters have facilitated flawless communication over a vast range of buildings including not only the buildings containing lecture halls and administrative and faculty offices, but neighboring student dormitories as well.
Guards were supplied with PD602 handheld digital mobile radios from Hytera's renown PD6 Series. The radios were selected as an affordable transition from analog to digital as well as for their slim, lightweight design, ideal for their security guards working long shifts. The factory Man Down option feature was added to the units.
In addition to the PD602 units, some MD782 radio units were installed at key security posts to enable guards to view the screen's user interface to quickly respond to emergency situations such as Man Down alerts.
After more than a year of having Hytera radios and equipment in place, Mr. Gravel and his staff have expressed complete satisfaction with the voice quality, channel reliability and overall comfort of use with their new communications system. With the ongoing support from both Jalec Communications and Hytera Canada, the Security Department at HEC-Montreal has never felt more confident in their emergency preparedness and overall ability to maintain safety and security across the entire school's boundaries.

"Q Who" é o décimo sexto episódio da segunda temporada da série de ficção científica Star Trek: The Next Generation, que foi ao ar pela primeira vez em 8 de maio de 1989. O episódio foi escrito pelo produtor Maurice Hurley e dirigido por Rob Bowman.

No enredo, Q joga a Enterprise em espaço não mapeado onde a tripulação encontra uma enorme nave de uma espécie até então desconhecida: os Borg. Quando a nave alienígena subjuga a Enterprise com facilidade, Picard percebe que a Federação não está pronta para enfrentar este novo inimigo.

Enredo
O Capitão Picard, enquanto inspeciona a tripulação da Enterprise, de repente se encontra em uma nave auxiliar com Q. Picard se recusa a conversar com ele e exige voltar para a Enterprise. Q se transporta com ele até o Bar Panorâmico, surpreendendo o resto da tripulação. Guinan confronta Q, que fica agitado e acaba sendo forçado a revelar a razão de sua presença na nave—se juntar a tripulação para explorar a galáxia. Picard recusa a oferta de Q, mesmo depois dele afirmar a existência de seres muito mais poderosos do que quaisquer outros inimigos da Federação. Irritado pela arrogância de Picard, Q envia a Enterprise para o outro lado da galáxia, milhares de anos luz longe do espaço da Federação, em uma região não mapeada do espaço, desaparecendo logo em seguida. Data relata que a base estelar mais próxima está há 2 anos de distância viajando em dobra máxima. Uma agitada Guinan pede para Picard traçar um curso para casa imediatamente, porém Picard está curioso para explorar a nova área.

Eles encontram um planeta despojado de todos os seus elementos mecânicos e industriais, similar a vários postos avançados que foram vistos ao longo da Zona Neutra Romulana. Logo eles encontram uma nave com formato de cubo muitas vezes maior que a Enterprise, porém eles não conseguem contatar sua tripulação. Guinan avisa Picard de que a nave pertence a uma espécie de seres cibernéticos chamados Borg, e que sua espécie encontrou os Borg um século antes, deixando poucos sobreviventes espalhados pela galáxia, implorando para que Picard fuja imediatamente. Apesar de Picard ordenar que os escudos defletores sejam erguidos, um único Borg consegue se transportar para a engenharia, tentando se conectar com os sistemas de computadores da Enterprise. Worf e sua equipe de segurança matam o Borg, porém um segundo se infiltra, possuindo agora um escudo resistente a tiros de faser. O segundo Borg completa a tarefa do primeiro e retorna para a nave.

Os Borg logo contatam a Enterprise e exigem sua rendição. Quando Picard se recusa, os Borg usam uma arma de energia para cortar uma porção do casco da Enterprise, matando dezoito pessoas. Picard ordena um contra ataque, e eles parecem conseguir desabilitar o cubo. O Comandante Riker lidera uma equipe de desembarque dentro da nave Borg para tentarem descobrir algo sobre seu inimigo. Eles descobrem que os Borg, uma amalgamação de várias espécies e raças, operam através de uma mente coletiva com nenhum senso de individualidade, recebendo implantes cibernéticos logo que nascem. Quando a equipe descobre que os Borg ainda estão ativos, porém se focando nos reparos dos danos causados pela Enterprise, Picard ordena que todos retornem para a nave, traçando um curso para o espaço da Federação em dobra máxima. A nave Borg se reativa e começa a perseguir a Enterprise, superando sua velocidade. Q reaparece na ponte e avisa Picard de que os Borg nunca irão parar de perseguir a Enterprise. Picard admite seu erro de julgamento e pede a ajuda de Q. Q retorna a Enterprise para sua última posição no espaço da Federação. Picard, apesar de agradecido pela lição ensinada por Q, fica bravo com ele por deixar que dezoito tripulantes morressem. Q desaparece, mas aconselha a Federação a se preparar para lidar com ameaças como as dos Borg. Enquanto a Enterprise segue em direção a uma base estelar, Guinan avisa Picard de que os Borg, agora cientes da presença da Federação, irão atacá-los em breve.

Produção
O roteirista e produtor Maurice Hurley tinha originalmente planejado que o episódio "The Neutral Zone", da primeira temporada, fosse a primeira parte de uma trilogia que iria introduzir uma ameaça totalmente nova para a Federação. Ele finalmente conseguiu prosseguir com a planejada sequência em "Q Who", apesar de apenas uma rápida referência ter sido feita entre a destruição dos postos avançados em "The Neutral Zone" e os Borg. Nem todos notaram a referência, parcialmente devido a ausência dos romulanos neste episódio, porém eles são mencionados quando Q fala que eles, e os klingons, são nada se comparados com os Borg como adversários da Federação.

Restrições orçamentárias impediram que os Borg fossem mostrados como insetóides da forma que Maurice Hurley originalmente queria, apesar do conceito de uma mente coletiva ter sobrevivido para se tornar o esmagador grupo chamado de Coletividade. A primeira ideia da figurinista Durinda Rice Wood para os Borg era um visual reptiliano. Além disso, a nave única dos Borg em formato de cubo e sua aparência misteriosa—reminiscente dos biomacanismos criados por H. R. Giger e do cibernético Lorde Dread da série de televisão Captain Power and the Soldiers of the Future—contribuíram para aumentar sua vilania em Star Trek, como Hurley originalmente queria.

Hurley trabalhou com Rick Berman e Gene Roddenberry para criar os Borg, cujo nome foi derivado da palavra "ciborgue", que significa um organismo cibernético. Os Borg tinham a intenção de dar a série aquilo que os ferengi tinham falhado em dar—um inimigo mortal e sem remorso que não poderia ser derrotado.

As filmagens de "Q Who" começaram em 27 de fevereiro de 1989, com o primeiro dia de filmagem dos Borg sendo 2 de março.

A complexidade e os custos das sequências de efeitos visuais de The Next Generation exigiam detalhado planejamento antes mesmo que um quadro fosse filmado. Como o supervisor de efeitos especiais do primeiro episódio dos Borg, Dan Curry criou os storyboards como também plantas do primeiro confronto da Enterprise com o Cubo Borg.

Repercussão
Zack Handlen da The A.V. Club deu ao episódio uma nota "A", comentando que "ele nos introduz a uma força alienígena que pela primeira vez é realmente alienígena, e não baratea a introdução ao criar uma conclusão apenas para deixar Picard salvar todos", resumindo-o como "o primeiro grande episódio [da série]".

"Q Who" venceu dois Primetime Emmy Awards nas categorias de Melhor Edição de Som para uma Série (Bill Wistrom, James Wolvington, Mace Matiosian, Wilson Dyer, Guy Tsujimoto e Gerry Sackman) e Melhor Mixagem de Som para uma Série Dramática (Chris Haire, Doug Davey, Richard L. Morrison e Alan Bernard). Além disso, o episódio também foi indicado na categoria de Melhores Efeitos Efeitos Visuais Especiais (Dan Curry, Ronald B. Moore, Peter Moyer e Steve Price).

The flagship is probably more expensive than its predecessor, likely to use the Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset, and feature a near-bezelless display and an in-display fingerprint sensor.
According to the same rumors, the Lite features the same spectacular camera setup on the Pixel 3 and probably even features a 3.
Upcoming Trends While new smartphone models are released every year, there are several industry trends in that are worth getting excited about. Foldable Displays We predict that smartphones with flexible screens are going to influence , especially since Huawei, LG, Motorola, Lenovo, Oppo and Apple are all working on a foldable device.
The most exciting thing about the flexible display trend is the potential for additional screen space without simply making a massive phablet.
Foldable devices promise the portability of a normal smartphone with the additional functionality and display real estate of a tablet device.
The current standard is 4G LTE, which allows you to quickly download apps, play mobile games, stream content and connect to the internet basically everywhere you go.
But you need a 5G-compatible phone to take advantage of the new technology major cell phone providers are starting to roll out in The Motorola Moto Z3 is hailed as the first 5G phone already, but it is only 5G compatible when used with the 5G Moto Mod, which is set for release in the first half of this year.

Best Overall Apple iPhone Xs. Best Value OnePlus 6T. Best Android Phone Google Pixel 3. It shares the same size, design and price point as the X but includes improvements to its camera, chipset and internal storage options.
The iPhone Xs has an all-glass body with a band of color-matched stainless steel around the edge. With the Xs, apps load faster, AR experiences are more immersive, user experience is more intuitive and even photos are better.
The front-facing TrueDepth camera, which enables FaceID, remains one of the best front cameras on a smartphone. You can also upgrade to the iPhone Xs Max, which has the same chipset and camera as the Xs but has a 6.
See plans and pricing WhistleOut. The OnePlus 6T, released November , is a noteworthy device not only because it costs hundreds of dollars less than other flagship smartphones, but also thanks to its impressive performance specs and innovative in-display fingerprint sensor.
The 6T is the follow-up to the OnePlus 6, released earlier this year. Though the two phones share similar technical specs, the 6T has some major improvements over its predecessor.
Most impressively, the 6T is the first smartphone available in the U. The all-glass back holds the dual 16MP and 20MP shooters. Even though the company consistently produces great budget phones, three main issues prevent the OnePlus from being a major contender.
Second, the OnePlus phones lag behind other devices in camera quality. In addition, the 6T is the first OnePlus phone to work on the Verizon network.
See Plans and Pricing WhistleOut. Released in October , the Pixel 3 is an intuitive device with unique, easy-to-use features. Its camera and AI features make it the best Android device on the market.
The two most notable things about the Pixel 3 are its camera and Call Screen feature. Although the Pixel 3 features a single rear shooter instead of two like most flagships, it still takes incredible photos thanks to smart software, including Top Shot and Super Res Zoom features.
The first takes several shots and chooses the best option, and the second keeps photo details sharp, even when you zoom in. The front camera has two lenses, including a wide-angle option for group selfies.
And while both are major selling points for the device, the Pixel 3 functions spectacularly even without the gimmicks.
This is partially because of its fast Snapdragon processor and partially because of its clean, stock Android 9 OS. Because Google makes both the phone and the operating system, the two work together intuitively, from the Google assistant squeeze integration to Google Photos backup.
The Pixel 3 shows some definite improvements over the Pixel 2. Its design is much more modern and allows for wireless charging, smaller bezels and a larger OLED screen.
Still, there are a few disappointments with the newest handset: Below average battery life. Samsung Galaxy Note 9. Everything about the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 is large, from its display to its battery to its memory and storage options.
This smartphone features a beautiful 6. The feature that sets the Note 9 apart from the plethora of plus-sized smartphones on the market is its S Pen stylus.
This innovative stylus works as a programmable Bluetooth remote, which can take photos, open apps or take notes. In our tests, the S Pen did not run out of battery, but if that happens, it can gain enough charge for 30 minutes of use in just 40 seconds.
Aside from the S Pen, the Galaxy Note 9 is like any other large smartphone on the market, albeit a very nice one.
Since , smartphone shipments have had positive growth. The situation was caused by the maturing China market.
In , Samsung had the highest shipment market share worldwide, followed by Apple. In , Samsung had Only Apple lost market share, although their shipment volume still increased by Apple business has been increasing very rapidly over the past 4 years.
Using smartphones late at night can disturb sleep, due to the blue light and brightly lit screen, which affects melatonin levels and sleep cycles.
In an effort to alleviate these issues, several apps that change the color temperature of a screen to a warmer hue based on the time of day to reduce the amount of blue light generated have been developed for Android, while iOS 9.

Zheng He and the Treasure Fleet, 1405-1433; A modern-day traveller's guide from antiquity to the present
Admiral Zheng He is a major historical figure in China and a great explorer in the history of navigation. An Admiral under the third emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zheng He undertook a total of seven epic voyages between 1405 and 1433, spanning over 30 countries throughout the South Pacific and the Indian Ocean. These historic voyages are, to this day, the largest maritime expeditions in world history.
With 200 ships and a crew of 28,000 men, Admiral Zheng He's "Treasure Fleets" set sail on trade and scientific research missions from South China to as far away as East Africa, the Middle East, India, South East Asia, Australia and New Zealand. There has long been speculation that the fleet circumnavigated and mapped the world, including America, a century before Magellan.
While Zheng He and his phenomenal voyages has been the subject of ongoing study for centuries, research on this subject has never been more lively than during the past two decades.
From China to Mombasa and Africa's Swahili Coast, Zheng He and the Treasure Fleet takes us in the wake of Admiral Zheng and his fleet on a 21st Century voyage of discovery, retracing his steps and revisiting his ports of call, to give an enlightened perspective on historical sites and present-day customs with links to the past.
This year commemorates the 600th anniversary of Admiral Zheng He's first voyage in 1405, and witnesses the dawning of many theories about Zheng He's expeditions across the disciplines of history, scholarship, Asian Studies, Chinese and Ming Dynasty scholars exploration, cartography, naval studies, oceanography and engineering.
This book is a timely and groundbreaking work, combining meticulous research with lavish four-color maps, illustrations, prints and photographs. It is a sublime combination of the efforts of celebrated reference writer and author Paul Rozario, a collection of international photographers, and a Singapore-based editorial and production team that has won numerous awards in editorial excellence and design distinction across Asia, the United States and Europe.
Admiral Zheng He's travels from the middle Kingdom to the Asian, Arab and African worlds of antiquity.

Guillermo del Toro crafts another filmic feast in Crimson Peak, a Gothic horror mood piece that, while not as substantial or a surprising as one might hope, still delivers his trademark breathtaking visuals to stunning effect.
Fourteen years later, the adult Edith (Mia Wasikowska), a strong-willed Victorian-era spitfire (a character hewing narrowly to the educated and ambiguously liberated "woman ahead of her time" trope) and an aspiring writer, now works at her father's brick and masonry company. A suitor, Baronet Thomas Sharpe (Tom Hiddleston), visiting America with his cold, standoffish sister, Lucille (Jessica Chastain), courts Edith while simultaneously courting her father's vast wealth, wealth to which Thomas desperately needs access in order to complete his work on a revolutionary ore extraction machine. The Sharpes, you see, own ancestral lands rich in clay and minerals, perfect for the manufacture of top quality building materials, but they are also flat broke.
After rebuffing both of Thomas's overtures, and then bribing the Sharpes to leave America –an action based partly on his own gut feelings, but based primarily on an unsavory report he commissioned from private investigator, Holly (Burn Gorman) — Carter is brutally murdered. Edith, in shock, and somewhat overwhelmed by Thomas's relentless advances, marries the Baronet, and returns with him and Lucille to the enormous Sharpe family estate in England, Allerdale Hall, as her family's lawyer prepares to sell off her father's assets and forward to Edith the proceeds.
Once at the remote and dilapidated Hall, Edith's life takes a dramatic downturn as Thomas becomes immediately distant and aloof, the still cold and disagreeable Lucille takes an overly-concerned interest in what Edith eats and drinks, and several horrifying, blood-red ghosts begin to manifest regularly to Edith, with dire messages for her from beyond the grave. Thomas surprises Edith by casually informing her that his home is known locally, and colloquially as "Crimson Peak," for the manner in which the red clay stains the winter snow. Frightened, and suddenly now coughing up blood, our resolute and intrepid heroine begins to investigate what will turn out to be the hideous and malignant mystery of the monstrous Sharpes and their ancestral home, with devastating results.
As this is a Guillermo del Toro film, the production design is sumptuous and exquisite to an extreme. A del Toro production not only sets the bar higher for other films of its genre, it obliterates the bar and flings aside the chunks. Crimson Peak is no exception. There is no detail too small, no aspect too trivial to not receive the full "del Toro treatment"; spectacular colors pop with vibrant energy, magnificent and soaring architecture awes, lavish costumes amaze and delight with their opulent complexity. The cinematography alone is a colorful, extravagant exhibition in the impeccable use of lighting, immaculate framing, and near faultless motion picture semiotics.
The direction and the acting are both equally excellent; del Toro orchestrates the proceedings with the sure hand of a master craftsman immersed in the pursuit he loves best, while Wasikowska, Hiddleston, and Chastain all inhabit fully their roles. Chastain and Wasikowska, in particular, impress in their roles and as the respective embodiments of dark and light, the Yin and Yang of Allerdale Hall (in the sense that seemingly opposite, or contrary forces may be interconnected, or interdependent) and, similarly, as the dual influences on Thomas and his choices. del Toro demonstrates an awareness of, if not service to the fans of his films in the casting of Pacific Rim thesps Gorman as the sharp-witted investigator, and Charlie Hunnam as Edith's devoted, but ill-fated admirer, Dr. Alan McMichael.
The screenplay has issues that, fortunately, do not devastate the film, nor lessen its impact, but they are conspicuous enough that the viewer may experience some level of discontent. The story's primary problem is that of a regrettable banality…, there are no surprises, here. One need not steep themselves in either the lore or the clichés of Gothic horror to predict exactly where del Toro and Robbins are going to take their elegiac storyline. What you expect to have happen will happen as you expect. What you expect to be the big reveal is the big reveal you expect. Nevertheless, the scripts shortcomings, potentially bothersome though they may be, take nothing away from the splendid visual experience the film provides.
BOTTOM LINE: See this film on video…, free if you can, but pay if needs be. Crimson Peak is very safe DVD or Blu-ray "must-buy" for Gothic horror enthusiasts and, while the film falls just short of purchase-worthy for those who don't consider themselves genre aficionados, it is well worth "the price of admission" on VOD.
