Best Friends: Lions, Tigers, and Bears, Oh My! n unusual trio consisting of a bear, lion, and tiger has formed at an A 1. animal sanctuary in Georgia. The animals, typically rivals in nature, have created an unbreakable friendship that is simply unbelievable to see. They adore one another, nuzzle each other affectionately, and feel quite upset if 1. they are apart. It is one of the most amazing things you will ever see. They even have a Facebook page that states they “can’t get enough of each other.” The friendship began fourteen years ago in 2001 when “Baloo” the bear, “Leo” the lion, and “Shere Khan” the tiger were found by animal protection services in the basement of a drug dealer’s house in Atlanta. The1. tiny animals were in awful condition. They had obviously been neglected and abused. In this sad state, they had shared a special connection based on their desire to survive and love for each other. It was in these early stages of life that the animals formed a bond that can only be described as “family.” They were immediately brought to Noah’s Ark, a non-profit animal sanctuary for abused animals in Locust Grove. Initially, they were separated but the animals became agitated. When they were reunited in the1. same enclosure they hugged, nuzzled, and stayed close. Animal experts explain that this close bond between three very different predators might not be possible if they weren’t from different geographical regions. Baloo is native to North America, Leo to Africa, and Shere Khan to Asia. Even if they were all from the same continent, one has to wonder if these three would let anybody or anything separate them? When Baloo had surgery, and was missing from the enclosure for a few days, Leo and Shere Khan seemed depressed. These three do everything together. They eat together, they sleep together, and according to representatives at Noah’s Ark, they even hunt cardboard giraffes together. Even for non-animal enthusiasts, it is eye catching to watch these three very different species groom each other. They will rub their heads together and lick each other just as a mother would. Experts say that their terrifying early months together have allowed these different species to perform behaviors that most animal scientists would deem “unnatural.” And so goes another animal story that To watch the video challenges our beliefs and knowledge about the remarkable creatures that http://www.wimp.com/livetogether/ inhabit our planet.

Now, as the older-woman seductress in her upcoming filmChéri , she isn’t afraid to act her age — and make it sexy.

  • 1,000 Films to See Before You Die Published in the Guardian, June 2007
    1,000 Films to See Before You Die Published in The Guardian, June 2007 http://film.guardian.co.uk/1000films/0,,2108487,00.html Ace in the Hole (Billy Wilder, 1951) Prescient satire on news manipulation, with Kirk Douglas as a washed-up hack making the most of a story that falls into his lap. One of Wilder's nastiest, most cynical efforts, who can say he wasn't actually soft-pedalling? He certainly thought it was the best film he'd ever made. Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (Tom Shadyac, 1994) A goofy detective turns town upside-down in search of a missing dolphin - any old plot would have done for oven-ready megastar Jim Carrey. A ski-jump hairdo, a zillion impersonations, making his bum "talk" - Ace Ventura showcases Jim Carrey's near-rapturous gifts for physical comedy long before he became encumbered by notions of serious acting. An Actor's Revenge (Kon Ichikawa, 1963) Prolific Japanese director Ichikawa scored a bulls-eye with this beautifully stylized potboiler that took its cues from traditional Kabuki theatre. It's all ballasted by a terrific double performance from Kazuo Hasegawa both as the female-impersonator who has sworn vengeance for the death of his parents, and the raucous thief who helps him. The Addiction (Abel Ferrara, 1995) Ferrara's comic-horror vision of modern urban vampires is an underrated masterpiece, full- throatedly bizarre and offensive. The vampire takes blood from the innocent mortal and creates another vampire, condemned to an eternity of addiction and despair. Ferrara's mob movie The Funeral, released at the same time, had a similar vision of violence and humiliation.

Automatic Movie Analysis and Summarisation Philip John Gorinski I V N E R U S E I T H Y T O H F G E R D I N B U Doctor of Philosophy Institute for Language, Cognition and Computation School of Informatics University of Edinburgh 2017 Abstract Automatic movie analysis is the task of employing Machine Learning methods to the field of screenplays, movie scripts, and motion pictures to facilitate or enable vari- ous tasks throughout the entirety of a movie’s life-cycle. From helping with making informed decisions about a new movie script with respect to aspects such as its origi- nality, similarity to other movies, or even commercial viability, all the way to offering consumers new and interesting ways of viewing the final movie, many stages in the life-cycle of a movie stand to benefit from Machine Learning techniques that promise to reduce human effort, time, or both.
