My Sister Bongsoon is an autobiographical novel. Through theeyes of Jiang, a precocious five-year old girl, the author relates how Bongsoon, a live-in maid who was uneducated, unloved but innocent and hard-working like most of the maids of those days, views the emerging new world of Korean reality. There is anguish, insight, but also immense painin this novel.Gong wrote: " I decided to picture Bongsoon and many other maids like her who existed in the early stages ! of economic growth and who were simply ignored amid the hctic development of that era. My Sisster Bongsoon is my personal reflection as a comfortable middle-class person on all those women who we just neglected!"This dissertation consists of four sections which address various aspects of assessing exposure to nanoparticles and monitoring methods. The first section examines the appropriateness of different exposure metrics using multiple-metric measurements that were carried out in multiple locations of workplaces generating incidental nanoparticles to construct aerosol maps. The concentration peaks of SA and fine particle number agreed more with locations of nanoparticle sources and showed larger concentration ratios between work areas than mass concentration. This indicates that SA and fine particle number concentrations are more appropriate for nanoparticle than mass. The second section examines the ability of various exposure metrics to distinguish between exposure categ! ories. Multiple-metric measurements were obtained in high and ! low expo sure zones in workplaces generating incidental nanoparticles. SA and fine particle concentrations showed higher 'contrast' in mean concentrations and larger concentration ratios between zones than mass concentrations. The results suggest that SA and fine particle number concentrations are more efficient than mass for classifying worker exposures into categories. The results suggest that the choice of appropriate exposure metrics is critical for classifying workers into similarly exposed groups. In the third section, SA concentrations were estimated in two ways based on number and/or mass concentrations using aerosol instruments and compared with SA directly measured using a diffusion charger. Estimated SA was derived from particle size distribution by number and was calculated using a simple inversion method. Both estimated SA overestimated measured SA but were correlated with measured SA. The results suggest that the estimated SA may a good predictor of measured SA. In the ! fourth section, three SA estimating methods were applied and evaluated based on number and/or mass concentrations measured by readily available instruments. Estimated SA was derived from particle size distribution by number and was calculated using two different inversion procedures. The estimated SA was compared with the reference SA obtained from the scanning mobility particle sizer and optical particle counter. All estimated SA had qualitatively similar trends to the reference. The results suggest that all estimation methods may be used as an interim solution for the purpose of classifying exposure zones within a workplace.Studio: Virgil Films And Entertai Release Date: 01/26/2010 Run time: 126 minutesFonte: Wikipedia.

I'm Reed Fish

  • When an old high school crush returns to his small hometown, Reed Fish's once simple, calculated life begins to unravel. A drunken incident prompts Reed's fiancee (Alexis Bledel) and the entire town to turn against him. This one-of-a-kind hilariously clever comedy features an up and coming ensemble cast and an unforgettably captivating original soundtrack. Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:&nbs
Ambitious young New Yorker Beth (Alexis Bledel) wants it all: a good job, good friends and a good guy to share the city with. Of course that last one is trickiest of all, as Beth discovers when she falls hard for Tommy (Scott Porter), a handsome, young Wall Street hotshot. Just as everything seems to be falling into place, Beth meets Tommy’s shy, clumsy co-worker Daniel (Bryan Greenberg) â€" and soon learns that the game of love in the big city is a lot like Wall Street â€" high risk, high reward…and everybo! dy has an angleThe crystal-blue eyes of Alexis Bledel are the prize for which two men vie in The Good Guy. Tommy (Scott Porter from the TV series Friday Night Lights) has a great life: he's highly placed on Wall Street and has a smart and beautiful girlfriend, Beth (Bledel, Gilmore Girls). But when he tries to turn the awkward Daniel (Bryan Greenberg, The Perfect Score) into his protégé at the firm, Daniel proves to be an unexpected catalyst in Tommy's life--and Beth's. The Good Guy mixes familiar platitudes about men and women with some surprisingly fresh observations about men and women. The characters actually reveal themselves over time, turning out to be different than you might expect. It's far from perfect--the pace is a little too leisurely and some elements are a little too pat (Beth's book club is reading a novel that sounds suspiciously like the movie itself). Nonetheless, The Good Guy never turns predictable and--thoug! h the characters all live in million-dollar New York apartment! s--there are surprisingly realistic touches throughout, an attention to human details that all too often get lost in Hollywood movies. Also featuring Andrew McCarthy (Pretty in Pink) as Tommy's sleazy boss. --Bret FetzerNo Description Available.

A survey has been conducted for the collection of Oedogoniales during April 2003 to December 2006 and collections have been made from different habitats (lentic/lotic) of Shivalik Himalayas of Jammu particularly from those areas which could easily be approached for the existence of different species of Oedogonium and Bulbochaete.In totality, 74 Oedogonium species and 9 Bulbochaete species have been collected. The species of these two genera have been! identified on the basis of morphology and the dimensions of vegetative and reproductive organs. Depending upon the position of antheridial cells in the life cycle of taxa, the group has been divided broadly into two categories, i.e., macrandrous and nannandrous. Further, on the basis of position of antheridial cells and androsporangial cells in relation to the oogonium, the group has been subdivided into macrandrous homothallic, macrandrous heterothallic and nannandrous idioandrosporous / gynandrosporous forms.Truth About Men Poster (11 x 17 Inches - 28cm x 44cm) (2010) Danish Style B reproduction poster print

Tell No One

  • TELL NO ONE (DVD MOVIE)
Oscar nominee Kristin Scott Thomas (I ve Loved You So Long, Four Weddings and a Funeral) delivers another acclaimed performance in the passionate drama Leaving. When stay-at-home mom Suzanne wants to return to work, her husband agrees to remodel a garage to serve as her office. Ivan, a sexy Spanish builder, enters their lives and changes them in ways no one could have expected.

Suzanne and Ivan are irresistibly drawn together by an erotic passion that threatens to destroy her marriage, her family and everything she holds dear. Her husband will stop at nothing to destroy her first. In this thrilling romance, everyone pays a price for happiness.Kristin Scott Thomas has transformed from the ice queen of British cinema to a woman of torrid passions in French films--and Leaving may be the most torrid yet. Suzanne (Thomas) leads a pleasant but stale upper midd! le-class life, with two teenage children (demanding and unappreciative, as all teenagers are) and a slightly pushy husband, Samuel (Yvan Attal, My Wife Is an Actress). She has a fling with a Spanish handyman named Ivan (Sergi López, Pan's Labyrinth) that, to her surprise, turns into an overwhelming passion. She can't bear to be without Ivan and decides to leave Samuel… a decision that slowly disintegrates her life. The strength of Leaving lies not in the plot, which holds no radical surprises, but in the vitality of Thomas's performance (particularly striking is a scene in which Suzanne, playfully bantering with Ivan, suddenly discovers she's in deeper emotional waters than she knew) and the cool eye writer-director Catherine Corsini casts over the events. The movie lures you into sympathy with Suzanne, yet there's always something a little unnerving about her, the sense that her mad love might have more madness than love. Thomas's career in France (! including Tell No One and I've Loved You So Long! ) has gi ven this superb actress a new life. --Bret FetzerJuliette Fontaine (Kristin Scott Thomas, Golden Globe® Nominee for I've Loved You So Long, Oscar® nominee for The English Patient) is a frail, haunted woman, an ex-doctor who's a shell of her former self. Having served 15 years in prison for an unspeakable crime, she's back on the "outside." With nowhere else to go, she comes to live with her loving but estranged sister Lea (Elsa Zylberstein). Together the sisters embark on a painful but redemptive journey back from life's darkest edge in this gripping drama of struggle and salvation.Kristin Scott Thomas is brilliant as Juliette, freed from prison after serving 15 years. Enigmatic, reserved, yet ready to re-enter life cautiously, Juliette moves in with her younger sister, Lea (Elsa Zylberstein), a literature professor, and the latter's husband Luc (Serge Hazanavicius), who worries about allowing Juliette into a home with two young children (related t! o the reason she was convicted in the first place). Also in the house is Juliette and Lea's father (Jean-Claude Arnaud), mute from illness. Writer-director Philippe Claudel slowly reveals details about the nature of Juliette's crime as she takes a job in a hospital records department and is wooed by a colleague. Other forces in Juliette's life--people asking questions, a visit to her dementia-suffering mother, tensions between her and Lea--slowly tease out the mystery behind her actions and takes viewers to a conclusion that adds an element of surprise but ties things up too tidily. Claudel cultivates an aura of naturalism and no-frills storytelling that allows dramatic developments and revelations to unfold easily. The film borders a bit on soap opera, but the grace and intelligence of Thomas' performance, offset by Zylberstein's more emotional work, is never less than compelling. --Tom Keogh

English SubtitlesBa! sed on the book by American author Harvey Coben, this French s! uspense thriller is one of those exhilarating word-of-mouth gems one can't to tell everyone about. Francois Cluzet stars as Alex, a pediatrician whose beloved wife, Margot (Marie-Josee Croze) was shockingly murdered eight years before. As the anniversary of her death approaches, Alex begins to receive cryptic emails and a video that seems to suggest that she is alive. The discovery of two long-buried bodies at the crime scene turn Alex into some kind of Hitchcockian Everyman, implicated in a crime he could not possibly have committed. But when he makes a mad dash from the police who visit him at his office, he seems to have signed his own confession. This synopsis doesn't even begin to hint at the genuinely exciting and surprising twists, turns, and revelations that await Alex in this Chinese box of a mystery. Brilliantly acted by an ensemble that includes Kristin Scott Thomas and French movie icon Jean Rochefort (Pardon Mon Affaire), Tell No One invites repeat viewing! s, the better to appreciate the intricacies of its plotting and construction. And if you think you have it figured out, there's this from one character who tells Alex at a climactic point, "Wait, there's more." --Donald Liebenson

Holiday Switch

  • HOLIDAY SWITCH (DVD MOVIE)
It s a week before Christmas, and Paula (Nicole Eggert) is struggling with bills, life with her blue-collar husband Gary and her two daughters. So when Nick, her high school boyfriend, returns to town a wealthy art gallery owner, Paula begins to wonder where she would be if she had stayed with him and not Gary. When Paula makes a holiday wish to see what life would have been like had she made another choice, she is magically transported through her washer/dryer to a parallel life where she is Nick s wife. At first, this other life seems the answer to her dreams, as she shops and dines out with her newfound wealth. But she soon realizes that the grass is NOT always greener on the other side. Her relationship with Nick is in shambles, and she misses her real husband Gary and her two girls. When she sees Gary and her kids living a happy life with another woman, she wis! hes for just one more Christmas gift--to have back the life she didn t appreciate.Is the grass really greener along the road not taken? Holiday Switch, a charming and well-acted TV film, examines that question through the life of Paula (Nicole Eggert), a harried housewife whose sweet husband, Gary (Bret Anthony), is struggling to make ends meet for his family. Paula is never caught up on her laundry, she has the worst haircut ever given to a human person, and she longs for an easier life, a little pampering, a husband with money and influence. Is that so wrong? When she bumps into her high-school boyfriend, Nick (Brett Le Bourveau), a successful art dealer, her fantasies run wild. The next thing Paula knows, she wakes up in a different reality--in a much ritzier zip code. In the manner of It's a Wonderful Life or Sliding Doors, Paula is suddenly plopped into a parallel universe--the luxe life with Nick that she thinks she's always wanted. The first day ! is fun--Paula gets to play dress-up and drench herself in jewe! lry, fur s, great designer clothes, and every luxury she can imagine (though, oddly, she is still stuck with that bad haircut). But before long she realizes the dangers of wanting something just beyond one's reach--and not being grateful for what really matters. Eggert throws herself enthusiastically into the role of both Paulas, and her gradual realization of what she loves and misses about sweet old blue-collar Gary is conveyed with subtlety and nuance. But Paula's new, fractured life doesn't seem to be a dream she can awaken from--and Paula's heartache is palpable. Holiday Switch is set at Christmastime, so that the themes of family, gratitude, and the value of love over material possessions ring even more true. You see, Paula? You really have had a wonderful life. --A.T. Hurley
