  • Fuwaku No Adagio] Friday 8 October at 9:30Pm
    AUTUMN ADAGIO [FUWAKU NO ADAGIO] FRIDAY 8 OCTOBER AT 9:30PM A nun going through her menopause might sound like the punch-line of a joke you wouldn’t tell your mum, but Tsuki Inoue’s disarmingly beautiful film Autumn Adagio takes what could have so easily been a premise ripe for exploitation and makes from it a profoundly moving and utterly restrained masterpiece. Mariko, who is first seen absent-mindedly plucking the stamen from a bouquet of lilies, lives a cloistered, routine life. One day, confused by the way she is feeling, she takes a leap of faith and volunteers to play the piano for the local ballet school. Whilst working she becomes entranced by the instructor’s graceful movements in a scene that is both gently surreal and quietly erotic. Although she plays well, the instructor tries to encourage her to put more of herself into the music. Moriko, who has spent her life repressing her sexuality and emotions, decides to let them out for a short time before they are lost forever and we can’t help but be swept along with her new enthusiasm. From then on the film is by turns disturbing, tragic and uplifting as she learns to reengage with the world. More and more we start to see her without her habit, and the change is striking. The tension between religion and sexuality has been explored in many films, but rarely has it been handled with such sensitivity.

  • Applying the Food–Energy–Water Nexus Concept at the Local Scale
    ARTICLES https://doi.org/10.1038/s41893-021-00719-1 Applying the food–energy–water nexus concept at the local scale Henry P. Huntington 1 ✉ , Jennifer I. Schmidt2, Philip A. Loring 3, Erin Whitney4, Srijan Aggarwal 5, Amanda G. Byrd4, Subhabrata Dev6, Aaron D. Dotson7, Daisy Huang4, Barbara Johnson8, Justus Karenzi9, Henry J. F. Penn10, AlexAnna Salmon11, Daniel J. Sambor12, William E. Schnabel6, Richard W. Wies Jr9 and Michelle Wilber 4 The food–energy–water (FEW) nexus describes interactions among domains that yield gains or trade-offs when analysed together rather than independently. In a project about renewable energy in rural Alaska communities, we applied this concept to examine the implications for sustainability and resilience. The FEW nexus provided a useful framework for identifying the cross-domain benefits of renewable energy, including gains in FEW security. However, other factors such as transportation and governance also play a major role in determining FEW security outcomes in rural Alaska. Here, we show the implications of our findings for theory and practice. The precise configurations of and relationships among FEW nexus components vary by place and time, and the range of factors involved further complicates the ability to develop a functional, systematic FEW model. Instead, we suggest how the FEW nexus may be applied conceptually to identify and understand cross-domain interactions that contribute to long-term sustainability and resilience. ood, energy and water are essential components of sustain- and the remaining food are transported in by air or water. Part of ability, emphasized as three of the 17 Sustainable Development the initial impetus was to add to practical scholarly understanding FGoals of the United Nations1.

  • Magneto-Optical Recording Systems
    10.3 MiniDisc 10.3.1 Introduction and Features of the MiniDisc System The MiniDisc (MD) system, developed by Sony, offers both digital sound and random access features. In addition to these features, the following three types of MiniDiscs have been developed for various applications: Section 10.3 MiniDisc 401 Figure 10.19 Probability of each error length. i Error length (byte) 1. Playback-only MiniDisc for prerecorded music; 2. Recordable MiniDisc allowing up to 74 minutes of recording time; and 3. Hybrid MiniDisc, a combination with premastered and recordable areas. The intrinsic recording technology supporting the recordable MiniDisc is the magnetic field direct overwrite method, applied to a consumer product for the first time in the world. The distinctive features of the MiniDisc are 1. Overwrite function: 2. Maximum 74 min. recording time on a disk only 64mm in diameter, achieved using data compression and high-density recording; 3. Quick random access supported by address information in the wobbled groove; and 4. Disk protection with the cartridge and shutter. Read process Verify process Write process Media production Figure 10.20 Defect management strategies. 402 Chapter 10 Magneto-Optical Recording Systems Moreover, durability and reliability for the recordable MiniDisc have already been proven with data storage media for computer peripherals, such as the magneto optical disk. Figure 10.21 shows the various MD systems. 10.3.2 System Concept and Specifications The specifications of the compact disc (CD) were first proposed in 1982, and are described in the so-called “Red Book.” Since then, the technological developments for both data and recording applications have been specified in the “Yellow Book” and “Orange Book,” respectively.
