Giv’at Halfon Eina Ona (Hebrew: ???? ????? ???? ?????) also credited as Halfon Hill Doesn’t Answer, is a classic comedy film produced in 1976 in Israel. This is a good-hearted satire movie on the Israel Defense Forces which tells the story of a reserves company, watching the Egyptian border in Sinai. Characters such as the combinator Sergio Constanza, the Egyptian-born Mr. Hasson and the huge cook Yosifun became classics.

The name of the film is a parody on the name of the Israeli patriotic film Giv’a 24 Eina Ona. (Hill 24 Doesn’t Answer)

The film was directed by Assi Dayan and features members of HaGashash HaHiver: Shaike Levi, Yisrael Poliakov and Gavri Banai.

Cast

• Jinji (Gavri Banai) - an IDF non-commissioned officer, in love with Mr. Hasson’s young daughter Yaeli.
• Sergio Constanza (Yisrael Poliakov) - a crook, who owes Mr. Hasson thousands of dollars. Sergio decides to run away for reserve duty after he gets into troubles with Hasson and other gamblers in Tel Aviv. Sergio is a charming funny crook, cunning and manipulative.
• Victor Hasson (Shaike Levi) - a wealthy Jew, born in Egypt and immigrated to Israel. Hasson lives in Tel Aviv with two daughters and is determined to get the older daughter married. He pursues Sergio into the Sinai because of a large debt. The scene where Hasson lifts Sergio’s field-toilet cabin with a loader-bulldozer became a classic.
• Yaeli Hasson (Nitza Shaul) - Mr Hasson’s beautiful young daughter and Jinji’s beloved. They want to get married but Hasson conditions it on finding a groom for his older daughter. Following Hasson’s refusal, Yaeli sneaks into Jinji’s jeep and finds herself in the Sinai base.
• Shifra Hasson (Miki Kam) - Hasson’s older daughter.
• Yosifun (Moshe Ish Kasit) - the cook in the Sinai base.
• Shamgar (Tuvya Tzafir) - the horny commander of the Sinai post.

Also features: Hanna Laslo, Oshik Levi.

Yang with the flag

This article is a work in progress translation of the ??? article from Chinese to English. If you are confident enough in your competence of Chinese and English, you can help Wikipedia by assisting in the translation.

Yang Huimin (traditional Chinese: ???; simplified Chinese: ???, Pinyin: Yáng Huìm?n) (March 6, 1915 - March 9, 1992) was a Girl Guide during the 1937 battle of Shanghai who supplied a Republic of China flag and brought supplies to besieged defenders of the Sihang Warehouse. Her actions proved inspiring to the defenders, who flew the flag the next daybreak in front of thousands of watching eyes across the bank of the Suzhou Creek.

Personal life

After the war, Yang retreated to Taiwan with the Republic of China government in the aftermath of the Chinese Civil War. She married National Taiwan University professor of physical education Zhu Zhongming and bore two sons Zhu Fugui and Zhu Fuhong. She died of a stroke March 9, 1992 at the age of 78.

Bowen’s disease (BD) is a neoplastic skin disease, considered either as an early stage or intraepidermal form of squamous cell carcinoma. It was named after Dr John T. Bowen, the doctor who first described it in 1912.

Causes

Causes of BD include solar damage, arsenic, immunosuppression (including AIDS), viral infection (human papillomavirus or HPV) and chronic skin injury and dermatoses.

Signs and symptoms

Bowen’s disease typically presents as a gradually enlarging, well demarcated erythematous plaque with an irregular border and surface crusting or scaling. BD may occur at any age in adults but is rare before the age of 30 years - most patients are aged over 60. Any site may be affected, although involvement of palms or soles is uncommon. BD occurs predominantly in women (70-85% of cases); about three-quarters of patients have lesions on the lower leg (60-85%), usually in previously or presently sun-exposed areas of skin. A persistent progressive non-elevated red scaly or crusted plaque which is due to an intradermal carcinoma and is potentially malignant. Atypical squamous (resembling fish scales) cells proliferate through the whole thickness of the epidermis. The lesions may occur anywhere on the skin surface or on mucosal surfaces. The cause most frequently found is trivalent arsenic compounds. Freezing, cauterization or diathermy coagulation is often effective treatment.

Histology

Bowen’s is equivalent to squamous cell carcinoma in situ. The entire tumor is confined to the epidermis and does not invade into the dermis. The cells in Bowen’s are extremely unusual or atypical under the microscope and in many cases look worse under the microscope than the cells of many outright and invading squamous-cell carcinomas. The degree of atypia (strangeness, unusualness) seen under the microscope best tells how cells may behave should they invade another portion of the body.

Treatment

Photodynamic therapy (PDT), Cryotherapy (freezing) or local chemotherapy (with 5-fluorouracil) are favored by some clinicians over excision. Because the cells of Bowen’s disease have not invaded the dermis, it has a much better prognosis than invasive squamous cell carcinoma.

A London Symphony

Jump to: navigation, search

A London Symphony is the second symphony composed by Ralph Vaughan Williams. The piece is in G major.

Vaughan Williams said that while the title may suggest a programmatic piece (and the work includes sounds to be heard in London such as the Westminster Quarters), it was intended to be heard as absolute music, and he suggested that “Symphony by a Londoner” might be a better title. However he allowed the conductor Albert Coates to provide elaborate descriptions for the 1920 performance. The work is often referred to as the Symphony No. 2.

The symphony is in four movements.

1. Lento — Allegro risoluto
2. Lento
3. Scherzo (Nocturne)
4. Andante con moto — Maestoso alla marcia — Allegro — Lento — Epilogue

The symphony was composed from 1912 to 1913 and was first performed on March 27, 1914 at Queen’s Hall, London, England, by conductor Geoffrey Toye. The performance was a success, but shortly thereafter the score was mislaid after being sent to the conductor Fritz Busch in Germany one month before the outbreak of World War I. The composer reconstructed the score from the orchestral parts and it was performed with some revisions in 1915 and 1918. The symphony was revised several more times over the years (with its first edition published in 1920), and reaching its final version in about 1936 (the publisher is unsure). Vaughan Williams later dedicated the symphony to his friend and fellow composer George Butterworth (1885-1916) who was killed by a sniper on the Somme during World War I.

The phrase is commonly lengthened to “Barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen“…

“Barefoot and pregnant” is a phrase most commonly associated with the controversial idea that women should not work outside the home and should have many children during their reproductive years. It has several other meanings as well. It is a figure of speech.

The phrase “barefoot and pregnant” was probably coined on August 27, 1963, by Rep. Paul Van Dalsem, an Arkansas state legislator. Van Dalsem, frustrated with the efforts of the Arkansas Division of the American Association of University Women, told a Little Rock civic club that in his home town that if a woman “starts poking around in something she doesn’t know anything about,” then “We get her pregnant and keep her barefoot.” Van Dalsem’s comments were reported by the local media and later picked up by national press. Van Dalsem lost his seat in the state House of Representatives three years later following court-ordered legislative redistricting. He returned to the Arkansas legislature in the 1970s and actually co-sponsored a resolution in favor of the federal Equal Rights Amendment.

Negative connotations

A common assumption is that the expression relates to housewives not leaving the home, and thus not needing shoes. Indeed, in the sex discrimination case of Volovsek v. Wisconsin Dept. of Agric., No. 02-2074 (7th Cir. September 18, 2003), the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit ruled that a woman who allegedly overheard her manager using the phrase could take her case to a jury. However, the court also dismissed the remaining claims on summary judgment with respect to both discrimination and retaliation against DATCP for lack of evidence.

Feminists often cite the phrase in a negative context. Stella Ramsaroop, for instance, writes that “The old adage mandating a good wife to be ‘barefoot and pregnant’ is even more humiliating. It reduces women to nothing more than a tool used for producing a son to carry on the family name or for working in the field.” The Philadelphia chapter of the National Organization for Women annually awards a Barefoot and Pregnant Award “to persons in the community who have done the most to perpetuate outmoded images of women and who have refused to recognize that women are, in fact, human beings.” Shinine Antony wrote a collection of short stories entitled Barefoot and Pregnant and later said in a 2002 interview, “Barefoot And Pregnant is a phrase that pokes fun at chauvinists who want their women barefoot (so that they are unable to socialise) and pregnant (helpless).”

Some feminists associate “barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen” with the phrase “Kinder, Küche, Kirche” (translated “children, kitchen, church”), which the Germans under the German Empire and later used to describe women’s role in society.

Another variation of the saying is “Keep them barefoot in the winter and pregnant in the summer.”

NPPA is the acronym for the National Press Photographers Association, founded in 1947. The organization is based in Durham, North Carolina and its mostly made up of still photographers, television videographers, editors, and students in the journalism field. The NPPA places emphasis on photojournalism, or journalism that presents a story through the use of photographs or moving pictures. The NPPA holds annual competitions as well as several quarterly contests, seminars, and workshops designed to stimulate personal growth in its members. The NPPA utilizes a mentor program which offers its members the opportunity to establish a relationship with a veteran NPPA member and learn from them. The organization also offers a critique service, a job bank, an online discussion board, and various member benefits.

Mission Statement

The National Press Photographers Association is dedicated to the advancement of photojournalism, its creation, editing and distribution, in all news media. NPPA encourages photojournalists to reflect high standards of quality in their professional performance and in their personal code of ethics. NPPA vigorously promotes freedom of the press in all its forms. To this end, NPPA provides continuing educational programs and fraternalism without bias, as we support and acknowledge the best the profession has to offer.

Their members include still and television photographers, editors, students and representatives of businesses that serve the photojournalism industry. As of the Fall of 2003, NPPA had over 8,000 paid professional members, about 1,500 paid student members, and nearly 500 life members–bringing the total membership to just over 10,000.

Code of Ethics

Members of NPPA abide by a strict code of ethics:

Preamble

The National Press Photographers Association, a professional society that promotes the highest standards in photojournalism, acknowledges concern for every person’s need both to be fully informed about public events and to be recognized as part of the world in which we live.

Photojournalists operate as trustees of the public. Our primary role is to report visually on the significant events and on the varied viewpoints in our common world. Our primary goal is the faithful and comprehensive depiction of the subject at hand. As photojournalists, we have the responsibility to document society and to preserve its history through images.

Photographic and video images can reveal great truths, expose wrongdoing and neglect, inspire hope and understanding and connect people around the globe through the language of visual understanding. Photographs can also cause great harm if they are callously intrusive or are manipulated.

This code is intended to promote the highest quality in all forms of photojournalism and to strengthen public confidence in the profession. It is also meant to serve as an educational tool both for those who practice and for those who appreciate photojournalism. To that end, The National Press Photographers Association sets forth the following Code of Ethics:

Code of Ethics

Photojournalists and those who manage visual news productions are accountable for upholding the following standards in their daily work:

1. Be accurate and comprehensive in the representation of subjects.
2. Resist being manipulated by staged photo opportunities.
3. Be complete and provide context when photographing or recording subjects. Avoid stereotyping individuals and groups. Recognize and work to avoid presenting one’s own biases in the work.
4. Treat all subjects with respect and dignity. Give special consideration to vulnerable subjects and compassion to victims of crime or tragedy. Intrude on private moments of grief only when the public has an overriding and justifiable need to see.
5. While photographing subjects do not intentionally contribute to, alter, or seek to alter or influence events.
6. Editing should maintain the integrity of the photographic images’ content and context. Do not manipulate images or add or alter sound in any way that can mislead viewers or misrepresent subjects.
7. Do not pay sources or subjects or reward them materially for information or participation.
8. Do not accept gifts, favors, or compensation from those who might seek to influence coverage.
9. Do not intentionally sabotage the efforts of other journalists.

Ideally, photojournalists should:

1. Strive to ensure that the public’s business is conducted in public. Defend the rights of access for all journalists.
2. Think proactively, as a student of psychology, sociology, politics and art to develop a unique vision and presentation. Work with a voracious appetite for current events and contemporary visual media.
3. Strive for total and unrestricted access to subjects, recommend alternatives to shallow or rushed opportunities, seek a diversity of viewpoints, and work to show unpopular or unnoticed points of view.
4. Avoid political, civic and business involvements or other employment that compromise or give the appearance of compromising one’s own journalistic independence.
5. Strive to be unobtrusive and humble in dealing with subjects.
6. Respect the integrity of the photographic moment.
7. Strive by example and influence to maintain the spirit and high standards expressed in this code. When confronted with situations in which the proper action is not clear, seek the counsel of those who exhibit the highest standards of the profession. Photojournalists should continuously study their craft and the ethics that guide it.

Incorporation

NPPA was incorporated on October 3, 1947. The original certificate of incorporation outlined six key objectives.

1. To advance press photography in all its branches
2. To promote the general welfare and conditions in the press photography field
3. To create, promote, and maintain cordial relations and cooperation, a higher spirit of fraternalism, the interchange of thought and opinion freely, and a high standard of conduct among its members
4. To distribute and disseminate accurate information in regard to matters pertaining to the photographic press of the nation
5. To settle equitably and justify the differences between its members
6. To preserve, stabilize, unify, and coordinate all elements of the photographic press of the nation

List of Upstairs, Downstairs episodes

News from the Front is the second episode of the fourth series of the period drama Upstairs, Downstairs. It first aired on 21 September 1974 on ITV.

Background

News from the Front had the working title of Straight from the Horse’s Mouth and it was recorded on 18 and 19 April 1974, with the location work being filmed on 8 April 1974. Miles Bennett, who made a brief appearance as a telegraph boy, was the son of director Derek Bennett. The plot has some similarity to the Shell Crisis of 1915 in which the Liberal Government was brought down because it was widely perceived that the production of artillery shells for use by the British Army was inadequate, with the story being reported in The Times.

Cast

• Angela Baddeley - Mrs Bridges
• Gordon Jackson - Hudson
• Meg Wynn Owen - Hazel Bellamy
• Simon Williams - James Bellamy
• David Langton - Richard Bellamy
• Raymond Huntley - Sir Geoffrey Dillon
• Christopher Beeny - Edward
• Jacqueline Tong - Daisy
• Jenny Tomasin - Ruby
• Barrie Cookson - Colonel Buchanan
• Edward Underdown - General Nesfield
• Miles Bennett - The Telegraph Boy
• Ena Baga - Kinema Pianist

Plot

News from the Front is set in April 1915. Hazel receives a telegram, something which everyone dreads as it usually brings bad news. However, it merely says that James is coming home from the Western Front on leave following the Second Battle of Ypres. On his first night home, he has dinner with Richard, Hazel, Sir Geoffrey Dillon and General Nesfield. During the evening, he talks about the incompetent running of the war, saying the Army is “being squandered by a lot of amateurs who don’t know their job”. Sir Geoffrey, who is the lawyer for newspaper baron Lord Northcliffe, wants to use James’ comments to bring down Asquith’s Liberal Government, and days later a report of James’ account is published in The Daily Mail, which is owned by Lord Northcliffe. While the account does not name James, his commanding officer, Colonel Buchanan, soon works out it can only have been him, and he is transferred, against his wishes, to the post of General Staff Officer, miles behind the front line. James is furious with the decision, but there is nothing he can do to stop it.

Meanwhile, downstairs, Edward, now Private Barnes, comes back to Eaton Place for the weekend after training on Salisbury Plain. He proposes to Daisy while in a picture palace, and she says yes. The night before he goes back to camp, they make love for the first time, after both admitting they are still virgins.

Reception

News from the Front was reviewed in The Daily Mail by Shaun Usher, who called the programme “distinguished” and said how John Hawkesworth “takes pains to show what it was like to live half a century ago”. However, Usher would later go on to be critical of Upstairs, Downstairs after the episode Missing Believed Killed.
