Toxicology Case Study Poster As an Introduction to Toxicology, You Are Toxicology Case Study Poster As an introduction to toxicology, you are tasked with creating a poster that showcases one of the innumerable deaths caused by a poison or drug, legal or illegal. You may choose from the list presented, or you may research off- list. All the posters will follow a similar format including: name, photo, years alive, what the person is famous for, manner of death, cause of death, mechanism of death, how it was determined that the death was due to drugs or poisoning and lastly, who did it and why. The basics will be readily available. However, you will need to do more research into the mechanism of death as caused by the various drugs and poisons. Be sure to talk about the damage that is done to the body both acutely or over time, as the case may be. You will be assessed on the accuracy of your research, as well as the presentation of your poster. The poster should include all necessary information, be neat, and make sense. Use your own words when describing the mechanism of death. I don’t want to read a medical textbook description of the mechanism. Summarize it in your own words so that the audience of your peers can understand it. An example is given on the next page. You do not have to follow the exact format.

No one knows. The co-founder of Stanford University was murdered by strychnine. Strychnine was mixed in with her medicine for an upset stomach. She felt she was being poisoned and called out. Her last words were, “My jaws are stiff. This is a horrible death to die.” Poisoning was confirmed by testing the water she had been given. No one was charged with her murder. It is suspected the university president at the time was involved. Strychnine interrupts the nerve signals to muscles. This causes the muscles to spasm. Death is usually due to respiratory failure due to the muscles no longer allowing breathing.

    Kouros by Yves Saint Laurent 1. Brad Renfro, Skeet Ulrich, Axl Rose, Leif Garrett—I’m listing those things or people I find immediately identifiable in this Hawkins painting of 2017 that I’m looking at in a fairly hi-res digital reproduction, while sitting under a canopy in the noonday sun of Cornino, clear across the entire island of Sicily from Taormina— two different Morandi still lifes (at the top and near the bottom of the painting), numerous b/w reproductions of various Greco-Roman and/or Greco-Roman-like statuary (a few Hercules-es, some hermaphrodites), a vivid pink and yellow de Kooning, Richard Lindner’s Ice (1966), a particular guy with a prominent red kanji or ideogram tattoo on his left pectoral whose name it kills me I can’t recall at the moment and with/by whom Hawkins was obsessed/distracted for a year or more, a few Japanese male models ditto (i.e., the artist was obsessed/distracted with/by them, too, and it kills me I can’t think of their names [not Daisuke Ueda, not Seijo, not Osamu Mukai]), an Egon Schiele self-portrait (?), perhaps a bit of a Rudolf Schwarzkogler perf, Lon Chaney (maybe Bela Lugosi) on an elaborate Hollywood-set staircase as Dracula. Walking down an ersatz West Village street, Tom Cruise has fallen into daydreaming again, triggered by a man and woman kissing deeply in front of a gaudy shop (windows trimmed in neon, lace, Christmas lights); he flashes on Nicole and her fantasy naval officer going at it: this time she’s almost naked, his strong hand fingers her pussy.

  • Larry Lasker
    LARRY LASKER Although I grew up with parents in the movie business, I always intended to make a career in medicine. After college I returned to work with the doctor I had worked for during summer vacations, but started spending more and more time hanging out at the American Film Institute, where my brother Albert (now Alex) was enrolled, attending seminars and screenings and crewing for student films, until the doctor finally suggested I seemed more interested in movies than medicine and maybe I should get that out of my system... I worked as a prop man for a while and then landed a job as a script reader with United Artists, a job my brother had vacated to write his first screenplay, and I read so many lousy scripts with fancy names attached to them I finally decided I could do at least as badly myself and quit after a year and a half to write one with my college friend Walter Parkes. I had seen a TV show about Stephen Hawking and was fascinated by the idea that one day he might figure out the unified field theory but, due to his condition, wouldn't be able to communicate it to anyone. This suggested he needed someone to mentor, who could understand him, and this in turn suggested the character of a troubled kid who was was too smart for his environment. When I was a reader, I learned that executives almost never read anything themselves, they read "coverage', the 2 or 3 pages we readers write to summarize scripts ‐‐ and even the 15‐ or 20‐page "treatments" writers submit for script proposals.

  • Transcript Sidney Lumet
    TRANSCRIPT A PINEWOOD DIALOGUE WITH SIDNEY LUMET Sidney Lumet’s critically acclaimed 2007 film Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead, a dark family comedy and crime drama, was the latest triumph in a remarkable career as a film director that began 50 years earlier with 12 Angry Men and includes such classics as Serpico, Dog Day Afternoon, and Network. This tribute evening included remarks by the three stars of Before the Devil Knows Your Dead, Ethan Hawke, Marissa Tomei, and Philip Seymour Hoffman, and a lively conversation with Lumet about his many collaborations with great actors and his approach to filmmaking. A Pinewood Dialogue with Sidney Lumet shooting, “I feel that there’s another film crew on moderated by Chief Curator David Schwartz the other side of town with the same script and a (October 25, 2007): different cast, and we’re trying to beat them.” (Laughter) “You know, trying to wrap the movie DAVID SCHWARTZ: (Applause) Thank you, and ahead of them. It’s like a race.” I remember welcome, everybody. Sidney Lumet, as I think all saying that “you know if this movie works, then of you know, has received a number of salutes I’m going to have to rethink my whole idea of and awards over the years that could be process, because I can not imagine that this will considered lifetime achievement awards—which work!” (Laughter) I’ve never seen such a might sometimes imply that they’re at the end of deliberate—I’m going to steal your words, Phil, their career. But that’s certainly far from the case, but—a focus of energy, and use of energy.

  • River Phoenix Eulogy Final
    Maggie Lloyd Ceremonial Speech Hi everyone, my name is Maggie. Some of you may be unfamiliar with the life of River Phoenix and his tragic overdose on October 31, 1993. River Phoenix was America’s golden boy--not just another good-looking Hollywood child-star. It is true that he was a man on the rise: He received Golden Globe and Academy Award nominations before the age of 20 and at the time of his death directors sought after him to star in what would become some of America’s most well known movies including, The Basketball Diaries, Total Eclipse, and Titanic. Ironically, all of these parts went to Leonardo DiCaprio after River’s untimely death. At just 15 River was moving viewers to tears with his performance in the Stephen King film, Stand By Me. His noteworthy portrayal of friendship in this film is a reflection of the genuine, caring friend he was in real life. This thoughtful disposition of his is what I want you all to remember. Beyond all of these accomplishments I have listed, what I would like you all to understand is that River was a caring and passionate person. It seems like everyone who came in contact with River Phoenix respected where he was heading in life. He was devoted to his passions. He had a love for music and a love for this earth. River popularized veganism and won PETA’S humanitarian award in 1992. Even at a young age, he passionately devoted his time to bettering the world. That is why it was such a shock when tragedy struck.

  • New Queer Cinema, a 25-Film Series Commemorating the 20Th Anniversary of the Watershed Year for New Queer Cinema, Oct 9 & 11—16
    BAMcinématek presents Born in Flames: New Queer Cinema, a 25-film series commemorating the 20th anniversary of the watershed year for New Queer Cinema, Oct 9 & 11—16 The Wall Street Journal is the title sponsor for BAMcinématek and BAM Rose Cinemas. Brooklyn, NY/Sep 14, 2012—From Tuesday, October 9 through Tuesday, October 16, BAMcinématek presents Born in Flames: New Queer Cinema, a series commemorating the 20th anniversary of the term ―New Queer Cinema‖ and coinciding with LGBT History Month. A loosely defined subset of the independent film zeitgeist of the early 1990s, New Queer Cinema saw a number of openly gay artists break out with films that vented anger over homophobic policies of the Reagan and Thatcher governments and the grim realities of the AIDS epidemic with aesthetically and politically radical images of gay life. This primer of new queer classics includes more than two dozen LGBT-themed features and short films, including important early works by directors Todd Haynes, Gus Van Sant, and Gregg Araki, and experimental filmmakers Peggy Ahwesh, Luther Price, and Isaac Julien. New Queer Cinema was first named and defined 20 years ago in a brief but influential article in Sight & Sound by critic B. Ruby Rich, who noted a confluence of gay-oriented films among the most acclaimed entries in the Sundance, Toronto, and New Directors/New Films festivals of 1991 and 1992. Rich called it ―Homo Pomo,‖ a self-aware style defined by ―appropriation and pastiche, irony, as well as a reworking of history with social constructionism very much in mind . irreverent, energetic, alternately minimalist and excessive.‖ The most prominent of the films Rich catalogued were Tom Kalin’s Leopold and Loeb story Swoon (the subject of a 20th anniversary BAMcinématek tribute on September 13) and Haynes’ Sundance Grand Jury Prize winner Poison (1991—Oct 12), an unpolished but complex triptych of unrelated, stylistically diverse, Jean Genet-inspired stories.

  • 1 Forever Alone in a Crowd, Arthur Fleck Seeks Connection. Yet, As He
    Forever alone in a crowd, Arthur Fleck seeks connection. Yet, as he trods the sooted Gotham City streets and rides the graffitied mass transit rails of a hostile town teeming with division and dissatisfaction, Arthur wears two masks. One, he paints on for his day job as a clown. The other he can never remove; it’s the guise he projects in a futile attempt to feel he’s a part of the world around him, and not the misunderstood man whom life is repeatedly beating down. Fatherless, Arthur has a fragile mother, arguably his best friend, who nicknamed him Happy, a moniker that’s fostered in Arthur a smile that hides the heartache beneath. But, when bullied by teens on the streets, taunted by suits on the subway, or simply teased by his fellow clowns at work, this social outlier only becomes even more out of sync with everyone around him. Directed, co-written and produced by Todd Phillips, “Joker” is the filmmaker’s original vision of the infamous DC villain, an origin story infused with, but distinctly outside, the character’s more traditional mythologies. Phillips’ exploration of Arthur Fleck, who is indelibly portrayed by Joaquin Phoenix, is of a man struggling to find his way in Gotham’s fractured society. Longing for any light to shine on him, he tries his hand as a stand-up comic, but finds the joke always seems to be on him. Caught in a cyclical existence between apathy and cruelty and, ultimately, betrayal, Arthur makes one bad decision after another that brings about a chain reaction of escalating events in this gritty, allegorical character study.

  • WHAT I LEARNED at the MOVIES ABOUT LEGAL ETHICS and PROFESSIONALISM by Anita Modak-Truran
    WHAT I LEARNED AT THE MOVIES ABOUT LEGAL ETHICS AND PROFESSIONALISM By Anita Modak-Truran HOW I GOT HERE I’ve been fortunate. I practice law. I make movies. I write about both. I took up my pen and started writing a film column for The Clarion-Ledger, a Gannett-owned newspaper, back in the late 90s, when I moved from Chicago, Illinois, to Jackson, Mississippi. (It was like a Johnny Cash song… “Yeah, I’m going to Jackson. Look out Jackson Town….”) I then turned my pen to writing for The Jackson Free Press, an indie weekly newspaper, which provided me opportunities to write about indie films and interesting people. I threw down the pen, as well as stopped my public radio movie reviews and the television segment I had for an ABC affiliate, when I moved three years ago from Jackson to Nashville to head Butler Snow’s Entertainment and Media Industry Group. During my journey weaving law and film together in a non-linear direction with no particular destination, I lived in the state where a young lawyer in the 1980s worked 60 to 70 hours a week at a small town law practice, squeezing in time before going to the office and during courtroom recesses to work on his first novel. John Grisham writes that he would not have written his first book if he had not been a lawyer. “I never dreamed of being a writer. I wrote only after witnessing a trial.” See http://www.jgrisham.com/bio/ (last accessed January 24, 2016). My law partners at Butler Snow have stories about the old days when Mr.
