  • Trama & Critica
    3906 – SOUL Animazione Un nuovo film Pixar che porterà lo spettatore in un viaggio dalle strade di New York a altre galassie per scoprire le risposte alle domande più importanti della vita. Un viaggio psichico ed esistenziale che farà sognare i bimbi ed emozionare i più grandi, in compagnia di Duke Ellington e Frank Capra. Il film ha ottenuto 3 candidature e vinto 2 Premi Oscaree e 2 Golden Globes. Regia di Pete Docter, Kemp Powers - USA 2020. Joe Gardner è un uomo maturo, eppure sente che la sua vita non è mai veramente cominciata. Appassionato pianista di jazz, aspetta la grande occasione mentre insegna musica in una scuola media e suona quando capita nei locali notturni, facendo preoccupare la madre che vorrebbe per lui le garanzie del posto fisso. Il giorno in cui passa l'audizione per debuttare con un famoso quartetto, Joe sente finalmente di avercela fatta, ma cade in un tombino scoperchiato e la sua anima si ritrova in uno strano luogo, mentre il suo corpo giace in un letto d'ospedale. Determinato a non morire proprio ora, Joe imbroglia le carte e stringe un patto salvavita con un'inquieta giovane anima, la numero 22. 22 non vuole vivere, e Joe non vuole morire. Le due cose ci sembrano spesso accadere per caso o per destino, e se invece, in entrambi i casi, ci fosse bisogno della giusta preparazione? Pete Docter è l'uomo della Pixar con una specializzazione nei cosiddetti massimi sistemi, e con 'Soul' mira dritto al punto più alto. Le invenzioni grafiche e visive, le ambientazioni fantasiose, il geniale utilizzo del personaggio del gatto, faranno sognare anche i bambini, ma non c'è dubbio che lo spettatore ideale di questo film sia uno spettatore adulto, anche se la soluzione finale del rebus non può prescindere dalla relazione affettiva con la sua giovanissima spalla.

  • Parent's Guide to Fencing
    A PARENT’S GUIDE TO FENCING 2007 EDITION Your Kids, Their Swords, and Surviving it all with your Sanity Intact Copyright © 2007 Fencing.Net, LLC – All Rights Reserved. Photos courtesy of and © FencingPhotos.com A PARENT’S GUIDE TO FENCING 2007 EDITION Fencing: A Comprehensive Parent’s Guide /Fencing/, noun 1: the art or practice of attack and defense with the foil, épée, or sabre 2: deriving from the expression, "The Art of Defense," meaning the art of defending one's self in combat. In the broadest possible sense, fencing is the art of armed combat involving weapons directly manipulated by hand, rather than shot or thrown. Why Fencing? If you’re reading this guide, you obviously have some interest in this unique activity. Maybe it’s the cool weapons that initially sparked your curiosity, or the distinctive clothes, or the intricate strategy involved. No matter your initial ingress into the world of fencing, the more you learn about it, the more you will want to participate. Coordination, speed, agility and self-assurance are just a few of the qualities this sport requires of its participants. A fencer needs not only to be quick of body but of mind as well. The intensity of fencing, and the extreme demands it places on one are a natural result of fencing's violent history. And while fencing has morphed from combat to sport, and possessing these skills no longer carries a life or death consequence, they are, however, in large part what make fencing such an exhilarating endeavor. A successful fencer must be capable of mounting powerful driving attacks or conversely, of making subtle and crafty defenses, all within the space of a few seconds.

  • Fencing Rules
    FENCING RULES 1995 Edition United States Fencing Association, Inc. © United States Fencing Association, Inc. 1995 FOREWORD This American version of the international rules governing fencing competitions is translated and adapted from the 1994 French edition published by the FIE and incorporates changes made by the FIE Congresses through 1995. Unless otherwise noted here or in the USFA Operations Manual, these rules apply to fencing competitions in the United States. Two appendices are included with this 1995 edition: Appendix A – The Fencer’s Publicity Code is part of the FIE Rules for Competitions. Appendix B – The FIE has published a number of “Temporary Provisions” concerning competition formats and certain other rules. The complete, updated text is included in Appendix B; notes are also located in the text in appropriate locations. The USFA, Inc. (founded as the Amateur Fencers League of America in 1891) is a not-for-profit, tax-exempt organization primarily engaged in increasing participation in the sport of fencing. Membership in the USFA, in an appropriate category, is open to anyone who has an interest in fencing. The USFA is the official governing body for amateur fencing activities in the United States, and is so recognized by the United States Olympic Committee and the International Fencing Federation (FIE). Accordingly, the authority to enact, amend, and repeal the rules governing amateur fencing in the United States rests solely with the Board of Directors of the USFA. As a matter of policy, the USFA normally follows the technical rules enacted for the sport by the FIE, with occasional minor exceptions that are duly announced.
