Coach Sutton introduces innovative drills that help with evaluation and player development. The philosophy that "every kid has a ball" is evident in this DVD. Using chairs on the floor, the X drill works on half court ball handling and shooting. Sutton emphasizes the value of communication among players in all of these drills. Changes in speed and direction are important components of improvement. Full court drills force players to use the cross over dribble and dribble explosion in an attacking mentality. Two-ball dribbling is incorporated into the full court drills. One ball is passed to a teammate while the other is shot. The benefit of these 10 drills is player improvement and a chance to evaluate roles for each player on the team. Item no. Format 10 DRILLS FOR PRESSURE PRESSURE DEFENSE FUNDAMENTALS With Tony Bergeron Coach Bergeron covers the fundamentals that make up a good pressure defensive system, beginning with an in-depth discussion on the cornerstones of good defense - the pivot, jump stop and stance. From there he moves into drills to reinforce these fundamentals. In Bergeron's practices, the post drills are worked on every day. Bergeron emphasizes that footwork and fundamentals are two keys to good post defense, and he includes a few of his favorite drills to work the post players. In addition, drills for both man and zone trap are included. Item no.

His on ball defensive philosophy is keyed by good pressure and pushing the ball to the sideline. All penetrating passes are overplayed in addition to constant ball pressure. In this presentation, Coach Smith breaks down each defensive position in terms of positioning and responsibility. Trapping areas in this system are in the paint on penetration by the defender and the closest help defender. Ball penetration causes defensive rotation, which is highlighted by Smith as the ball is moved around. On a pass-by-pass basis, Smith analyzes the defense's goals, strengths and vulnerable areas. Being aggressive on defending in-bounds passes is another focus of this defensive system. Full court pressure includes ball pressure, back tapping and aggressive trap situations. Smith discusses the white press - good after a dead ball or made shot - and the black deny press. He also includes drills that teach many of the individual and team concepts needed to build this defense, including the 4-on-4 half court, which is a staple in his practice. Item no.

His new philosophy says the offense can throw it over you but not through you, meaning his defenders are directly in the passing lane. This forces the offense to catch the ball further from the basket and out of prime scoring areas. By pushing them out from the basket, passes become longer and more difficult for the offense to make. Ball screens and back screens are two of the games best offensive weapons, and Huggins breaks down his views on how his teams stop each. Core defensive skills are shared in the drills on this DVD; positioning, helping, closing out, pushing the ball out, guarding back cuts, back screens, and down screens are all covered.

Herero men, women and children were rounded up like cattle and put into Germany's first ever concentration camps. Four years later, three-quarters of the entire Herero nation had perished at the hands of German colonialists. The Nazis used the experiences from the German concentration camps in Namibia as well as their experiments in "racial science" when they formulated the Final Solution during World War II a few decades later. Today the Hereros claim billions of euros from the German government in repatriation for the genocide. The experience of one family is described by a descendant, a 23-year-old Herero woman named Georgina. She has a fair complexion and a green tinge to her eyes. Georgina is aware of the fact that her great-grandmother was raped by a German soldier and now wants to confront the demons of her own genetic past. Item no.

His 10-point shell drill covers every possible defensive scenario and anchors the Pitt defense in games. As the ball is slowly reversed around the perimeter, Dixon instructs players on the proper position and technique at each spot. When the ball is on the wing, there is automatic penetration to the baseline. This forces the weak side defense to be in a help position and adjust toward the ball to keep the ball out of the paint. By moving players down to the corners, the focus is on middle penetration. Stance, vision and moving in the direction of the pass are cornerstones of good man-to-man defense. Defending the ball screen has become mandatory for all teams. Dixon explains the on ball coverage that minimizes risk but is aggressive. Other sets defended are the UCLA screen set, flex and flare screen set. The last component is doubling the post and doubling the on ball screen. Dixon teaches specific technique on a hard, aggressive double team. Dixon illustrates that almost every situation faced in a game can be prepared for in practice with the 10-point shell drill.

He preaches that one-on-one play emphasizes skill, conditioning and competition. Everything about Martelli's philosophy includes hard play and competitiveness. In drills, it is the coach's responsibility to work skills of every player. The first drill he introduces uses chairs on the floor to create a half court one-on-one drill. The same drill can be used to focus on stops by the defender. The baseline and top of the key drills are competitive partner drills. The rotational drill keeps players moving from one spot to the next while getting eight reps of one-on-one. Throughout practice, scores are tallied both for individuals and teams. Coach pass one-on-one is a multi-purpose drill where players can play from the perimeter or the post. To keep things fresh, Martelli adds a new drill each day with a different consequence. Coach pass one vs. two, Sutton Drill, slap-n-go, full court one-on-one, Knicks, mismatch and king of the hill, round out an impressive group of one-on-one drills. Item no.

Included in this presentation, is Fracassa's highly successful ISO play which can be run with two tight ends, from the Power-I, wing, overset, Pro Set or from a motion set. Next up, the legendary coach details all the ins and outs of his vaunted Toss Play - which is from the overset formation and features linemen sprinting to a zone, finding any player they can. You'll also get an inside look at the Power-I Power Play in which the halfback kicks out on the hole as the fullback blocks the first man he comes to. This play is effective because the QB makes it look like an isolation play, but it becomes a power play. Other gems from Fracassa's playbook include the Sprint Draw, Counter Pass, Sprint Pass, Quick Pass and Cross Pass. With a great combination of diagrams, teaching points and game clips, Fracassa accurately presents each of these highly effective plays into a format that makes it easy to implement into your team's playbook.

By using the "echo technique" Coale's team repeats her instructions during the entire practice, keeping them all on the same page. On the court, the "North Carolina fast break" drill is an important activity in Sooner practices. This single drill requires players to listen, communicate, run, pass, catch, make lay-ups and fill spots on the floor. "Walking the arch" is another small detail that produces big results. This strategy is a technique used by cutters to get open using screens. Instead of using the V-cut, ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Learning Rendezvous Limited Email: [email protected] Websites: http://www.learningemall.com & http://www.learningemall.com.hk 3 "Walking the arch" helps spacing on the perimeter and gets shooters open. Other techniques demonstrated include the slip screen, blocking out for better rebounding, post player techniques, the "fake a pass to make a pass" and the "X" passing drill, which emphasizes communication, squaring to the ball and making good passes. Offensively, Coale shares five pressure release options that are an important part of their motion offense. 12 Little Things That Matter will challenge your philosophy and give you some valuable nuggets for your program!

The hand off is created and is extremely hard to guard. The third option is the wing entry. This pass signals specific offensive action to follow. Odom concludes by adding some of his "special options" to the basic 1-4 movement. Odom preaches that good spacing will allow many scoring options.

It also gives you the ability to move different players around in the defense. The point of the 1-3-1 zone must be a player who is athletic and can finish on the other end. A point guard-type player is perfect for the back of the zone. His coverage area is from corner to corner and he must be a great communicator. The 3-man covers the right side, from wing to block. The 4-man, the best rebounder, starts on the left wing. The 5-man sets up at the free throw line and is "the linebacker" of the entire defense- his coverage is from the top of the key to block. The key for this defense is to discourage direct passes by the offense. DeChellis breaks down the zone by putting the ball in different areas of the floor. Drills are included to fine-tune this defense. DeChellis calls the 1-3-1 zone "a high risk, high reward attack" that can change tempo quickly and make athletic opponents lethargic in a hurry! The task of developing a full court attack has paid off for Coach Taylor. Through the years he pulled concepts from others as he assembled the ideal break. On display in this on-court demonstration is the end result. The break is ignited by an "outlet phase - a pass to a single outlet, which frees the wings to sprint down the floor ahead of the ball. Outlet options are the wing away, three, rim, solo and trail. Each of these options are demonstrated on the floor with players. After the outlet, the point guard must establish a side of the floor. Other options presented by Taylor are step-out, the seal and drag, wave-down screen, wing advance option and others that feature post duck in, triple screen and pick and roll. This DVD is packed with transition gems that will allow your team many options for scoring in transition. Item no.

MAN DEFENSE, THE With Dave Odom Coach Odom's 1-4 offense has been one of the consistent weapons in his successful tenure due to its ability to spread the defense, create back door opportunities, bring the defense up and out, has multiple entries and it gives you multiple opportunities to score (making it hard for your opponent to scout). The first option he demonstrates is Power, which begins with a dribble out to the right wing that signals all subsequent action. The preferred options are to feed the post first, and shoot off the down screen second. Item no.

Coach Gallagher begins with tips from his storied career that cover communication and family involvement. The goals of Coach Wootten's teams were to play hard, play smart, play together and have fun. Perseverance allows teams to stay in the game as the opponent finds a way to lose. Team unity is based on the chemistry you produce on your team because the five best players rarely make up the best team. Defense is a priority for winning basketball. Having a defensive plan, according to Wootten, is mandatory for the coach. This includes handling pressure with set plays to isolate your best scorer. Wootten shares his 12 lessons in leadership, which he learned from John Wooden, and also discusses the importance of pre- and post-game talks and half time talks. Wootten shares how coaching can bring out the best, and the worst, in coaches and discusses his thoughts on how sportsmanship deserves a high place in sports.

The "55" is a 2-1-2 full court zone press and is a defensive cornerstone in this program. While doing this the opponent will become fatigued, leading to more success. Defensive principles are important and include: Ball pressure, containing the dribble, force the ball into trap areas and up the sidelines. Sutton's scramble/recovery mode is based on closet man/closest ball. The first press illustrated by Sutton is the 2-2-1 zone press. The first line of defense contains two guards and they apply pressure first. The two half court players have middle and deep coverage based on ball position. They are also used as interceptors when longer passes are thrown. The last player has the back line and protects the basket. Sutton shares another press, 56, that starts in a 2-1-2 alignment. Both presses are tools to dictate tempo and speed up a game to the disadvantage of the opponents in many ways. Item no.

Three sets of two players work together in pairs. Typically two players will be behind, two on top and two in the crease. A strength of the offense is using the pick, where one player in the pair frees his teammate. This creates confusion and indecision in the defense. By reading the defenders movement, the offensive player can spring free of the defender. Another teaching technique is the front swing. Zimmerman feels the game is all about deception, and the Deuce is full of deception. The player with the ball is taught to sprint into, through, and out of the pick. Once out of the pick, the man with the ball heads straight to the goal with his stick in feeding position. The second pair is known as the inside men and key techniques are demonstrated to enhance their productivity in the Deuce. Inside men maintain balance by staying opposite of the dodger. The third pair is known as the men up top. When out front, players are always ready to score. By being inside the restraining line, these two players present a dangerous threat to the defense. The straight-line principle is a concept that can really help young players. The Deuces offense will get your team high percentage shots while attacking from the inside and outside! Item no.

The match-up is a combination of man-to-man and zone principles. Benefits of this zone are that it can be played by teams short on size, quickness, athletic ability or numbers. Also, it is flexible because your team can trap out of the zone and stunt against a good post player. Frese details the roles of all five players in this defense; all players must constantly talk and move as a unit with the constant pressure on the ball. Extra features include reaction vs. the skip pass, the dribble drive, and bump and adjust. Specific instruction is given when the ball goes into the post, teaching players to maintain sight of the ball. Drills included in this presentation work on guarding the ball in multiple spots on the floor, as well as how to guard the top and the bottom of the zone. Item no.

His teams value the ball, shoot the three at a high percentage and play good defense. Fennelly is passionate in his belief in the zone. Benefits of playing zone include avoid fouling, protect someone who is in foul trouble, hide someone who isn't a great defender and to defend the other team's best player. Fennelly demonstrates four key areas of the zone: Bumping players off, which is the core of the defense; guarding the high post player, the gray area and double teaming on the block. Specific zone situations in this DVD are ball in the high post, short corner and ball on the block. A good zone can handle all three situations, as seen on this presentation. A key teaching point is moving with the ball to arrive when the opponent catches it. Trapping situations are also covered. He also includes two great drills - 5 v 4 and 6 v 5. Fennelly shows how to take the best player out of the game. After installing the parts of the zone, the Cyclones go live in 5-on-5 half-court play. Item no.

Approach runs are a must for all jumpers and will allow the athlete to have jumping success. Pullins believes 16 to 20 steps is the aim early in the season for approach runs. He teaches to drive out on the first four steps to build speed on the approach. To develop a good approach, Pullins demonstrates a "push, pull, plant" technique that incorporates hurdles on the jump runway. First and second phase run off, standing landing drill, box step, small hop & big step, standing 4-step and the first & second phase long jump are all good drills for pre-season workouts. Each drill is slightly different and has a special skill focus. Advanced drills for experienced jumpers include single leg projection hops, step drill, straight line paw repeat, paw read push drill, alternating step, single leg hop and the strong/weak drills. Rhythm is crucial to the jump events and improvement comes from the rhythm run off drill. The walking extension drill uses hurdles and enhances flexibility, posture and a straight line push. As a bonus, Pullins demonstrates 22 additional drills using med balls, resistance bands, jump pads, boxes and hurdles to create the desired effect.

Licari believes that a successful vault begins with proper pole carry and approach. The standing tip drop and the marching pole carry are excellent fundamental drills that are taught and demonstrated. The initial steps are developed with the mini hurdle pole run drill. Sled pulling conditions the athlete and works on the driving and pushing action. Licari next details the proper pole carry position by showing hand and shoulder position. He then shares the three-step plant and breaks down each step culminating in the pole at its highest position above the head. Planting the pole is taught through the marching plant drill followed by the three-step approach drill to execute a proper pole plant. Long jumping is part of the short pole drill with an emphasis on the leg action and the take off mechanics. Licari's "over the tip" exercise, assists the vaulter to accurately determine the position of the hands on the pole. Power comes from the chest drive and Licari shares several drills to increase strength when the pole is planted. The stall technique is used in drill work to emphasize high hands and chest drive.

The first tip is to utilize a well-organized training plan and proper conditioning as a base for success. Technically, Robinson believes the approach is the single most important aspect of championship high jumping. All positive outcomes hinge on a proper and powerful approach. Straight ahead running teaches good acceleration mechanics and a natural step bounce. Curve line runs and S runs are also crucial to the approach of the bar. A more difficult drill is the circle run, which teaches the inward lean and is done in both directions. Full approach jumps include several methods that are trial and error for each athlete. The "skip bounce for height" drill introduces blocking mechanics at take off and ground contact. Another teaching tool is the short run jump. These jumps allow the athlete to focus on proper body posture. Proper posture and acceleration through the take off are the focus. Robinson details bar clearance with a simple "double leg flops off the ground" drill. The same drill can be varied by using a box in front of the bar as athletes get accustomed to jumping high in the air from the box. Robinson concludes with his instruction on the full approach jump.

Holloway strives to adapt those ideas to the training and competitive arena. Drills are done for endurance and to teach the body to do things in a proper way. The ground strike of the foot is the focus of these sprint drills. The dribble series involves five footwork drills in the warm-up mode. The start is a vital component that sets of the rhythm and flow of the sprint. Holloway uses an athlete to demonstrate the proper starting position and includes the common errors made when starting. The Race Model for the 100 m sprint is broken down into three areas: drive from the blocks, acceleration phase and the maintenance phase. Patience is the key to the drive phase, pushing to 30 m. For the 200 m race, Holloway teaches the sprinter how to attack the curve and reinforces the principles of running the straightaway. The 400 m sprint is broken down into five phases. Acceleration is the key to the first 30. Being aggressive - yet in control - is a key to the middle phases of this race. In the last phase, sprinters are taught to be calm and focus on the proper sprint movements. Race footage shows the breakdown of each of the fundamentals of 100 m, 200 m and 400 m sprints. Item no.

When Gaza-born Khitam’s abusive Arab Israeli husband divorces her and gains custody of her six children, she suddenly finds herself fighting two heart-breaking battles: against the Sharia Muslim court to get her children back, and against the state of Israel, which considers her an illegal resident and denies her protection in a shelter for battered women. 3 TIMES DIVORCED is a fascinating and disturbing look at a civil and religious legal system that denies women the right to get a divorce independent of their husbands. It highlights the bind that abused women find themselves in when their immigration status is contingent upon marriage. With remarkable access and an unflinching lens that never sensationalizes, award-winning filmmaker Ibtisam Salh Mara'ana captures Khitam’s astonishing courage as she faces an impossible situation with no country or court to protect her.

Additional teaching categories include guarding an open player, defensive transition and defensive philosophy. Larranaga shows and explains many drills that are part of his daily practices. The second part of Larranaga's instruction focuses on defense. The main George Mason defense is man-to-man, with the scramble as a secondary defense. A combination of the two is a series of zones that he calls the Camouflage, which is used strategically as a surprise defense that forces the offense to react to the defense. Once the opponent gets used to a man-to-man and the scramble, the Camouflage defense puts them on their heels immediately. Included are three core drills for this defense.

By running specific lanes on the court, players wind up on the proper defensive side of the floor and are ready to defend quickly. This successful spread 3-2 match up sets up by converting from offense to defense quickly. Davis stresses that this zone is built on solid fundamental man-to-man principles. Ball pressure depends on the shooting ability of the opponent's perimeter players. Coverage areas are key to being successful in the 3-2 match up. Areas include wing ball coverage, ball pressure, weak side help, inside and outside rebounding areas, block responsibilities, corner trapping, post double down with 4 and 5 and corner coverage with mismatches. To build this defense, Davis demonstrates the use of active hands and communication and includes drill work to reinforce this principle. One offensive strategy is screening against the zone. Specific coverage and teaching points allow this defense to cover any on ball screening action.

His 'Fire and Storm' coverages enable the defense to play tighter, outside leverage man coverage on the widest receivers while playing a tight match up zone underneath. It also allows additional pressure on the quarterback without putting too much pressure on secondary defenders. With the popularity of the spread offense, this defense makes it possible to play tighter coverage, but rushing only three or four defenders. Specht details the key teaching points of the Fire Coverage's rules and responsibilities. Other topics covered are 3 x 1 coverage adjustments, weak side blitz, 2 x 2 and 2 x 2 motion.

The odd front is beneficial because you can angle and slant into a reduction. This defense also makes it easier to fit personnel into the scheme and allows you to adjust to formation. Ultimately, Coach Specht likes to keep it simple and play fast. With the 3-3-5 there can be five or six defensive backs in the game at all times. The base defensive alignment has the ends head up on the tackles with the backers stacked up behind the down lineman. The safeties will align 7 yards deep to the shade of the tight end. The secondary creates an illusion that you are five across and 7 yards deep. The key feature of this defense is the "adjuster," who moves around a lot and is usually the most complete player on the team. Against the Spread, the Jet and Will backer move on the line, giving it a five-man look. Other adjustments Specht covers are the 'Sparrow', 'Bluff', 'Falcon', 'I Bluff' and 'Ninja' front.

Ball handling is the first part of this improvement program. Stationary two-ball drills allow the player to feel and correct the difference in strength between hands. Moving two-ball drills help players advance their skills quickly. Being explosive is the key to lay-in drills and helps the player learn four finishes at the rim. Offensive moves depend on the catch and sweep technique. The 5 and 5 drill includes two players, with one player executing the skill five times in a row. A passing technique, the punch, is taught and is demanded in all drills. Next is a post feed drill, requiring players to fake, cover ground and post feed. On the shot fake, Thorson teaches "ball up, body down." Catch and stick is the next 5 and 5 drill and works on elbow shooting. In two man groups, Thorson shares the partner pass drill and the Euro Cut. Sinking to the level of the ball is taught to ensure the ball handler has many passing options.

Their cutting-edge expertise is packed into this DVD on the art of pitching. Coach Hall, on the mound, demonstrates the technique of using the rubber, taking signs, rocker step, rocker to balance 3-point movement, balance to power and power to delivery. Pitching out of the stretch is a skill taught in detail. Hall believes in three goals in the set-up; create a downhill plane, maximize velocity and put pitchers in the position to allow them to do the same thing every day. To relieve pressure on the arm, Hall instructs through dry drills. This keeps pitchers sharp without throwing every day. With the ball, a good drill is the hand extension and spin drill. Kneeling drills put pitchers on a knee to emphasize power and finish. Other drills include the square drill, stretch stride and stretch stride to balance. The 60-foot and 90-foot toss drill focuses on footwork and throwing. This drill works out to the player's maximum distance. Crow hop, arm action, and grips complete the drill catalog. Item no.

Many different skills and techniques combine to make up a total player. Coach Durkac breaks down his fielding instruction into three areas: get to the ball as quickly as possible, catch and secure the ball, and throw the ball. First step quickness is the key to solid fielding. To achieve that skill, Durkac teaches proper touchdown technique, which is the point where both feet make contact with the ground to field the ball. He also shows drop step technique that helps players handle all three types of hoppers. The two quick shuffles technique is taught as an approach skill prior to fielding the ball. Three throws are used when making double plays, and are demonstrated in this presentation. The rake and making plays with your feet are additional skills demonstrated. Item no.

The beauty of this system is that all of your practice time is spent on man-to-man defense and motion offense. A good example of this is a competitive 4-on-4 no dribble drill. Without the dribble, the offense must use good set-ups and cuts to get open. One component of motion is post play. This motion incorporates a single low post and a four-man diving to the basket on all post catches. Painter teaches the four-man to cut hard and execute a post screen, a seal on the weak side. Painter teaches his motion as if the defense is switching. This guarantees that his team is always prepared to face any kind of defense. Screeners and cutters work together to get shooters open. The varieties of screens include the back screen, flare screen, down screen and post screen.

Format Duration Copyright Price : ME08530016 : 2 DVDs (With English Subtitles) : 123 minutes : 2007 : USD 74.95 Coach Greenberg says that offense is not about what is fashionable, but functional. He believes it's not about what you do but how you do it. Part of an offensive attack is to determine slides and positions for each player when the ball is penetrated. The most important part of developing an offense is the ability to get open. Every offense needs pressure releases to beat pressure man-to-man. The 'slice offense' is based on forming a triangle on one side of the floor followed by a post cross screen and a high-low look. When the ball is reversed the next action is a shuffle cut to the open block. As the ball is reversed the action includes a back screen and a double screen for a shooter. Greenberg stresses that post players must "lift" up the floor and seek the ball after screening. Every cut, dribble and screen has a purpose that leads to scoring. Dribble hand-offs can be added at various times within this offense. The key to the 'slice offense' is to attack the defense in the full court and half court. Greenberg walks players through their secondary offense as well, which has several options to score. Item no.

Coach Bennett's list of what he emphasizes includes intangibles, convert to defense, rebound on defense and sureness with the ball. Intangible areas begin with humility - the knowledge of self vs. what others think he is. Passion is a focus toward the task ahead with a total commitment. Unity, which comes from scripture, is the true way to greatness. Servant hood is a trademark of the way Bennett likes the game played and screening, being in the right place and passing are all skills that exemplify servant hood. Thankfulness is another intangible in Bennett's system. Progress comes from acceptance of losing and how it is handled. A loss of poise, consistency, focus are indicators that players must avoid and can be accomplished with being true to the five intangibles. Teaching areas that make up Coach Bennett's coaching philosophy are fundamentals, roles on offense, stopping penetration and recovering and trapping the post. Drills are demonstrated to illustrate intangibles and to aid in teaching them - which is the core and focal point of this excellent DVD. Item no.

Here he describes his eight key principles of linebacker play. These areas include stance, alignment, keying, responsibility, blow delivery, tackling, play coverage and pressuring the quarterback. He begins with general thoughts regarding technique, which is described as the specific details of the linebacker position. Stance is the first major fundamental of great linebacker play. Feet apart, toes ahead, balanced weight and hands ready are keys. Keying is a skill taught by Johnson and alerts the player to read eyes and movement on the snap of the ball. In great detail, blow delivery is taught using eight skill components. Defending the pass for linebackers is broken down into zone, fire zone and man coverage. Lastly, Johnson covers the art of pressuring the quarterback and blitzing, which is what makes linebackers valuable to the team's defensive attack.

This is done for three reasons; for teaching, statistics and ball patterns. Meharg divides the field into four areas: the attack quarter of the field, attacking middie quarter, defensive middie quarter and the defensive quarter. From there the field is divided vertically into zones 1, 2 and 3, with 3 being the outside areas. The same concept goes for the area around the goal for goalkeepers. To aid visual learners, Meharg uses a Subbuteo board to divide the field visually and to show each of the steps in detail. The eight steps begin with defense in the attacking quarter, followed by defense in the midfield and into the circle. Step 4 deals with defensive penalty corners. Step 5 and 6 focus on attack out of the defensive quarter and attacking in the midfield. The final two steps are the attack into the circle and attacking penalty corners. Each step is carefully broken down and analyzed by Meharg.

For years, they remained nearly invisible, a small group of dedicated men waiting for the perfect chance to strike. Then, on September 11, 2001, after five years of preparation, they took action. Now, the full story and the details of their ambitious plan have come to light. THE 9/11 HIJACKERS tracks the progress of the unassuming college students who became religious martyrs. These men, now known as the Hamburg Cell, were responsible for the cultivation of the al-Qaeda plot code-named "the planes operation". The group's leaders were four well-educated Muslim men who shared a common belief in radical Islam. Though Mohamed Atta, Marwan al-Shehhi, Ziad Jarrah, and Ramzi Binalshibh hailed from different countries--Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, Lebanon, Yemen--a spirit of brotherhood prevailed among them.

He focuses on early offense that flows from the full court into half court offense without hesitation. Brey calls this system "Full Court Motion" and the key is to put the pressure on the defense at all times. Audibles are used in the flow of transition. "Cross" is an audible that swings the wings as post players set screens for them. "Shaping up" is a key teaching point for post players after they screen in transition. This action presents four possible passing options for the point guard. The "shallow audible" will free up a shooter by screening for him with both post players. Against zone defense, the "circle audible" is very effective. The point guard can call for a high ball screen by a post as the ball is being advanced. This system can be coordinated on the floor by the players as they push the ball down the floor. In the half court, Brey demonstrates several entries into motion offense. Entries include loop, two, two cross and six. Full court motion is versatile, adaptable and unpredictable.

Many OTC (over-the-counter) drugs are misused by kids—from cold remedies to pain killers to diet pills. This program explores the most common abuses of OTC drugs and shows the chemical, biological and psychological damage that can result from abusing these ordinary drugs. Particular attention is paid to DXM, the powerful medication linked to recent deaths of young people across the country. DXM is a legal drug found in many OTCs, but it has the same qualities as drugs considered much more dangerous like heroin. The cold tablet form of this drug is the basis of a new and dangerous form of OTC drug abuse called skittling, which can also result in coma or even death. The dangers of this kind of abuse are brought home through the tragic story of Jennifer Darling, a high school student whose apparent experimentation with the drug was a cause in her own death. Students will also hear a no-nonsense message from a district attorney describing the severe legal consequences teens can receive if found driving or committing a crime while under the influence of these substances.

The highest rate of incidence occurs with young women from 15-25 years of age that play sports that require quick change of direction, pivoting and jumping. Coach Stein's ACL injury prevention program focuses on safety, technique/form, footwork, low athletic stance, slow movement strength training, repetitions, time efficiency and productivity. Stein believes that agility and footwork training proper landing, jumping, starting and stopping mechanics - can prevent injuries. When an athlete lands, the weight needs to be equally distributed within the foot, promoting soft landings. Other key items to watch for are enhanced balance, body/joint awareness, movement technique, and muscle strength (especially the hamstring). There are two main non-contact mechanisms that have been identified; planting/cutting and straight knee landing. Dynamic flexibility and plyometrics are the ideal way to prepare your athletes for competition, and reduce injury. Next is a look at exercises in the weight that add strength and durability in athletes. Stein also shares various symptoms of ACL injuries; guidelines are the same for women as they are for men.

Divided into three geographic regions, with the ever-spreading Sahara Desert as part of its northern section, this African republic of over 12 million is mostly known for its constant struggle to properly feed its people; however, despite these difficulties, Niger understands the economic benefits of tourism and welcomes the opportunity to partner with the world community. In this insightful program, producer Daniel Balluff enlists the aid of local guides and shows us that Niger is a perfect "off the beaten path" destination for adventurous travelers, complete with beautiful landscapes, a wide variety of cultures, and exotic wildlife, including a rare, wild giraffe colony, and the vast W Game Park, which is filled with protected African animals. The tumultuous history of Afghanistan from the perspective of the country's female population, Afghan Women: A History of Struggle chronicles the stories of women who have risked their lives to achieve political, economic, and social equality, from the early 1970s to the present day. Rare archival footage illustrates the amazing stories of women who participated in the revolutionary movement of the 1970's and the years of political turmoil that followed: from proxy war, to civil war, to the ensuing oppressive rule of the Taliban and the current sway of regional warlords and general instability. These women shed light on the cold war battle between the U.S. and the U.S.S.R that was played out on Afghan soil, and the CIA’s role in the creation of terrorist groups on the Pakistan-Afghan border that plague the world today. The film goes inside a women's prison. It records the drafting of an Afghan Women’s Bill of Rights by women from across Afghanistan at a conference in Kandahar. In scenes like these women debunk the commonly held myth that the U.S. intervention and the fall of the Taliban government brought Afghan women freedom. Directed by Kathleen Foster (Point of Attack), Afghan Women is an important film that explores the role women play in developing nations. Reviews “At last, a concise, well-made documentary chronicling the history of women's struggle for their rights in Afghanistan. Excellent historic footage of pre-Taliban and Soviet-era Afghanistan. Filmmaker Kathleen Foster casts her journalistic eye to provide insight and a holistic view of the history of the Afghan women’s movement.” – Nadai Hablika, MESA FilmFest Coordinator “...provides a sharp yet concise analysis on the tumultuous history of the country itself, with particular focus on the negative repercussions that US military intervention has had on women’s rights in the country. Drawing a line from the Cold War to the ‘War on Terror,’ Foster challenges viewers to examine how Afghan women have continually borne the dual costs of American imperial ambitions on the one side, and the barbarity of feudal warlords on the other.” - Prerana Reddy, Director of Public Events, Queens Museum of Art Item no.

He was to spend the last years of his life there, fighting sickness, poverty and failure. Nevertheless, consoled by the cycles of nature, his last five years produced some of his greatest and most moving music. In this film many of the composer’s friends and colleagues, including Yehudi Menuhin and Georg Solti, join his sons Peter and Bela Jr to tell the story of these last years of exile. The music is performed by the Budapest Symphony Orchestra conducted by Ervin Lukacs and Sir Georg Solti, with Gyorgy Sandor (piano) and Laszlo Barsony (viola).

The aliens have planted a doomsday device over the North Pole, and if the Earth doesn't supply enough victims, they'll activate it and destroy the planet. However, if the Earth does comply, the device will become a power supply capable of meeting all of its needs for the next 300 years. Every country in the world must surrender some citizens, and the United States begins a lottery system. Anyone unlucky enough to be chosen is dead within 24 hours, rendered into liquid, which is then sent back to the alien world. One scientist, Steven Chase, whose daughter is chosen for the lottery, decides to fight rather than surrender his only child. Suddenly he must race against time to find the aliens' weakness as the invaders decide to abandon their agreement and simply harvest humans at will, leaving death and destruction in their wake.

This new documentary film explains the benefits and problems - and, most importantly, shows e-portfolios being used at the sharp end. In Wolsingham School, Co. Durham, every student has an e-Portfolio. They're like mini websites, stored on the school's network. They use them as multimedia CVs and also to store their work. Meanwhile students and tutors at Wolverhampton University are also using e-Portfolios - but they're using them to communicate online, too. An important benefit, staff and pupils say, is the opportunity for students to reflect on their learning. They take more responsibility for their learning. In some cases they improve their literacy skills because multi-media gives them interesting outlet for their writing. The technology offers them a better chance to organise their work and also to capture evidence of their work than just relying on text. Teachers can follow students' progress with greater ease - and students have evidence of their work that they can use to help them get jobs or places in universities. But are there problems, too. What about "the digital divide", where students can be at a disadvantage if they don't have a computer at home or don't get on with the technology? Are there issues of data security and privacy? Should e-portfolios be compulsory? And how can such major projects be tackled when teachers are already so busy? The film is designed to be used both for teaching students and as an information resource for staff. Item no.

Stoney This beautiful film is the story of "Miss Mary" Coley, an African-American midwife more than half a century ago in rural Georgia. Conceived as a demonstration film for illiterate "granny" midwives, its production sponsored by the Georgia Department of Public Health, All My Babies quickly transcended its initial purpose. It was used around the world by UNESCO and has become an enduring classic of non-fiction film. All My Babies was written, produced and directed by George C. Stoney in close collaboration with Mrs. Coley as well as with local public health doctors and nurses, and shows the preparation for and home delivery of healthy babies in both relatively good and bad rural conditions among black families at that time. The film is in addition both a deeply respectful portrait of "Miss Mary," who is revealed as an inspiring human being, and a record of the actual living conditions of her patients. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Learning Rendezvous Limited Email: [email protected] Websites: http://www.learningemall.com & http://www.learningemall.com.hk 27 Note Selected in 2002 by the Librarian of Congress as a "culturally, historically, and artistically significant work" for permanent preservation in the National Film Registry.

At the 140th fair in Acton, farmers congregate in the spirit of both co-operation and rivalry. Families show off their finest handicrafts, agricultural produce and livestock. Teamsters compete to see whose animal is the strongest and whose daughter the most beautiful.

The American Ruling Class is one of the most unusual films to be made in America in recent years -- both in terms of form and content. The form is a "dramatic-documentary-musical" and the content is our country's most taboo topic: class, power and privilege in our nominally democratic republic. At bottom the film is a morality tale, the story of two Yale students (played by Harvard men) who seek their opportunities upon graduation. As the renowned essayist, author and longtime Harper's magazine editor Lewis Lapham conducts them through the corridors of power: Pentagon press briefings, the World Economic Forum, philanthropic foundations, Washington law firms, corporations, banks, the Council on Foreign Relations, and New York society dinners--our two representative graduates "one rich and the other not so rich" must struggle with their responsibilities in "a world collaterally damaged by the magic of money and the miracles of science." The real-life luminaries they meet on their journey become characters in a story about power, its responsibilities and abuses. All the while "the Mighty Wurlitzer" plays on, a reference to the massive propaganda apparatus invented by the CIA's Frank Wisner, here used to signify the nocturnal philosophy of acquisition and imperial hubris which continually calls to the young men, the siren song of careerist myopia that was bred into their bones at school. As we watch these two young men wend their way through what is only a slight fictionalization of their actual lives and choices, as we meet former Secretaries of State and Defense, directors of the Trilateral Commission and the Council on Foreign Relations, the publisher of The New York Times, Kurt Vonnegut, Howard Zinn, Barbara Ehrenreich, Robert Altman and a host of others, we have to ask along with Mr. Lapham: "To what end the genius of the Wall Street banks and the force of the Pentagon's colossal weapons? Where does America discover the wisdom to play with its wonderful toys?" The possible answers move beyond the empty distinction of party affiliation and into the heart of American Oligarchy itself. By film's end, the young men must decide: Should they seek to rule the world, or to save it? Appearing on the screen are a range of leaders and commentators from across the political spectrum, among them: the late Robert B. Altman, James A. Baker III, Bill Bradley, Harold Brown, Hodding Carter III, William T. Coleman, Jr., Walter Cronkite, Barbara Ehrenreich, Vartan Gregorian, Doug Henwood, Mike Medavoy, Joseph S. Nye, Jr., John Perkins, (a.k.a., the economic hit-man) Samuel Peabody, Pete Seeger, Lawrence H. Summers, Arthur O. Sulzberger, Jr., William Howard Taft IV, the late Kurt Vonnegut and Howard Zinn. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Learning Rendezvous Limited Email: [email protected] Websites: http://www.learningemall.com & http://www.learningemall.com.hk 33 it was to live on those earnings. She discusses her findings here, which culminate in a full-blown musical number, in which employees sing about being nickel-and-dimed. The scene is divine madness…Ultimately, The American Ruling Class feels like a documentary version of The Wizard of Oz as director John Kirby and Lapham attempt to illuminate the heart of darkness inside the American political-economic machine. What they find ain't pretty." -Mathew Hays, Montreal Mirror Reviews "A brilliant documentary/comedy, part Monty Python, part Michael Moore; brings to life the question: Can one join the power elite and yet work for the public interest? Well worth watching for the interviews with the likes of James Baker and Hodding Carter." -Joseph A. Soares, Author, Power of Privilege: Yale and America's Elite Colleges, Professor of Sociology, Wake Forest University "An amazingly good day for documentaries also sees the premier of John Kirby's astonishing documentary/drama/musical (yes, really) which also serves as a call to arms for everyone to think about how their actions will affect the future in which we live. Narrated and written by the wonderful, laconic Lewis Lapham, this should not be missed." -Sarah Hughes, The London Observer "The American Ruling Class is the most cinematically subversive film to come along this decade. Led by the extremely lucid and funny Lewis Lapham, the nation's number one intellectual treasure, the film takes us on a luminous quest… Director John Kirby has fashioned a sly film; it plays with form, but is populist in outreach, transcending documentary expectations with wit, style and political savvy." -Peter Wintonick, Director/Producer, Manufacturing Consent: Noam Chomsky and the Media "While fooling around with my TV, seeking out the Cubs-Sox ball game, I accidentally encountered a remarkable and revelatory documentary. THE AMERICAN RULING CLASS k.o.'d me, telling "ordinary" citizens who it is - or what means are used - to run our "democratic" society. The mentor of two of the "heirs" just out of Yale University, was Lewis Lapham, the most hip and perceptive editor of all our monthlies. It is an astonishing program - but, more important, tells us who really runs things. P.S. I missed the Cubs-Sox game, nothing was lost, much was gained." -Studs Terkel "[A] satirical tour thru the corridors of power with Lewis Lapham…The film takes on our political and financial elites, the top of America's food chain, but it's all for a purpose: to remind us of those who are struggling just to make ends meet." -Bill Moyers "[An] entertaining documentary, The American Ruling Class offers a guided safari through the tribal haunts of the power elite." -James Wolcott, Vanity Fair "The film's best moment comes with a Barbara Ehrenreich interview. In the late 90s Ehrenreich went undercover to take on various low-wage jobs (waitress, hotel chambermaid among them) and then report on how difficult "A very funny and fascinating search for America's ruling class. ***1/2" -Mark Rifkin, "This Week in New York" "Lapham…with his easy charm and Luciferian tendency to pop up out of nowhere, injects every scene he's in with sly humor." -Darrel Hartman, Yale Alumni Magazine "THE AMERICAN RULING CLASS was a highlight of WFF's season. A poignant look at what's both sublime and sad about our country, made by artists with genuine heart, brains, and class." -Steve Lawson, Executive Director, Williamstown Film Festival Margaret Fuller, initially given expression through The Dial, continue to shape the discourse of literature, philosophy, and religion in America.

Mulvey came to prominence in the early 1970s with her seminal essay Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema. One of the most widely cited and anthologized articles in the field of contemporary film theory, this groundbreaking work investigated questions of spectatorial identification and its relationship to the male gaze. With this essay and other articles, Mulvey helped establish feminist film theory as a legitimate field of study. AMY! (1980, 30 minutes) Amy Johnson was the first woman to fly solo from Great Britain to Australia. Mulvey and Wollen’s experimental documentary combines newsreel footage of the aviator’s arrival, dramatic recreations of events from her life and contemporary discussions by feminist groups on the subject of heroism in this most unconventional biopic. FRIDA KAHLO AND TINA MODOTTI (1983, 29 minutes) Originally commissioned for an international art exhibition this short film is an unconventional portrait of painter Frida Kahlo and photographer Tina Modotti. Simple in style but complex in its analysis, Frida Kahlo and Tina Modotti explores the divergent themes and styles of two contemporary and radical women artists working in the upheaval of the aftermath of the Mexican Revolution. Reviews “AMY! And FRIDA KHALO AND TINA MODOTTI are fascinating and accessible hybrids of biography and critical essay written in images and sounds. They exemplify the ‘passionate detachment’ Mulvey advocated- their modernist heroines are as texts and presented as women with whom younger feminist generations will connect. The rediscovery of these films will energize discussions of feminist film theory by illustrating the stakes of film practice.” - Patricia White, Chair, Film ANCIENT HISTORY (SERIES) Globe Trekker’s Zay Harding presents this new look at ancient civilizations that left remarkable ruins.

Celebrated historian Bernard Lewis, former Israeli Prime Minister Natan Sharansky, Iranian-American author Reza Aslan, Egyptian journalist Mona Eltahawy, and other experts propel this timely discussion. Narrated by veteran TV journalist Judy Woodruff. Reviews "Within one hour, the documentary, narrated by veteran CNN journalist Judy Woodruff, covers a lot of territory in a graphic and efficient manner. Viewers are given a capsule history of anti-Jewish hatred both in the Christian West and the Muslim East, accompanied throughout by horrifying cartoons across the centuries .... Numerous experts weigh in on the Middle East conflict and its impact on the resurgence of anti-Semitism. On the whole, the arguments balance each other out, with perhaps a slight edge given to supporters of Israel, thanks to Woodruff's narration.” Jerusalem Post, 1/7/07 "A timeless cautionary tale about those who throw caution -- and good judgment -- to the wind, caught up in the breeze of bigotry. The daring documentary, directed/written/produced by Emmy Award-filmmaker Andrew Goldberg, goes beyond American borders to where hatred borders on the incredible: The Middle East provides no middle ground for Jewish jeers and junked dreams of peace.

Argentina:Turning Around takes us onto the shop floor of worker-run factories and into the barrios where the unemployed are organizing schools, kitchens and work." -Jerry Harris, Secretary, Global Studies Association "Argentina:Turning Around is a remarkable story of how a crisis in today's global society can provide an opening for new models of work, production, politics, ownership, and human and community development." -Dan Swinney, North American Network for Solidarity Economy "The unemployed workers movement and the recuperated factories in Argentina show us an alternative path of economic recuperation and Argentina: Turning Around accurately captures this experience without romanticizing the challenge that Argentineans are still facing." -Dr. Delia Marx, Argentinean and Global Exchange Reality Tour leader to Argentina "Inspiring and timely…Turning Around undertakes the rare and important yet too often neglected - task of revisiting and re-examining social change once the headlines have faded. This well crafted film captures the hard won insight and wisdom of the workers, business managers, movement leaders, academics and journalists who have lived and led Argentina's struggle to challenge the dominant economic development paradigm.

Sixty years ago, the Hanford nuclear site produced plutonium for the atomic bomb dropped on Nagasaki, and today the area is the focus of the largest environmental cleanup in history. It is a landscape of incredible contradictions: coyotes roam among decommissioned nuclear reactors, salmon spawn in the middle of golf courses, wine grapes grow in the sagebrush, and federal cleanup dollars spur rapid urban expansion. Arid Lands takes us into a world of sports fishermen, tattoo artists, housing developers, ecologists, and radiation scientists living and working in the area. It tells the story of how people changed the landscape over time, and how the landscape affected their lives. Marked by conflicting perceptions of wilderness and nature, Arid Lands is a moving and complex essay on a unique landscape of the American West. Reviews "Exquisitely filmed and carefully crafted...The multiple perspectives showcased in the film highlight debates and issues that go far beyond the local environs - land development vs. ecology; science vs. real-world experience; and how to determine `acceptable risk.' Minimal narration allows viewers to weigh the various economic, ecological, cultural and political vectors of the problems facing the Hanford area and reach their own conclusions, making this film an excellent launching point for classroom debates." -Melissa Checker, Assistant Professor of Urban Studies, City University of New York, Queens College "Arid Lands is an engaging and thought-provoking film about shifting human adaptations and transformations of a particular landscape, and the incongruous absurdities sometimes generated in the process…[The film] provides a compelling springboard for discussion of some of the most important issues defining our times." -Dr. Lene Pedersen, Dept. of Anthropology and Museum, Central Washington University "Arid Lands does not offer easy answers. Is it truly safe? What does it mean if a town is desensitized to nuclear waste? When will the federal money run out? Will tourism be the answer to economic development and at what cost? The film presents a richly textured view on a community that battles nuclear waste, wrestles with development, and worries about the water. Arid Lands does what most sociology professors want to teach: the ultimate sociological paradox of examining how societal influences shape individuals and, at the same time, how individuals shape the outcome of community, institutions, and society." -Dr. Marisol Clark-Ibanez, Assistant. Professor of Sociology, California State University - San Marcos "An insightful look into…the concerns of the people who work and develop the land…An excellent job of showing how the choices made now will not only influence future lives, but, more important, the viability of a fragile landscape that the people cannot help but depend upon." -City Pages "A love song for the ailing, if resilient, expanse of sagebrush and bunch grass that still thrives on the Hanford nuclear site…a comprehensive and, at times, profound and entertaining narrative." -Minnesota Daily "In this age of golf courses in the desert, this honest look at the state of the west is as refershing as a tall drink of water." -Missoula Independent "A smart, comprehensive, and beautiful film." -Williamette Week "Stunning documentary…a provocative, complex portrait of Eastern Washington as it grapples with the legacy of Hanford and the future of its arid but starkly beautiful landscape." -Crosscut Awards CINE Golden Eagle Audience Choice Award, Wild and Scenic Environmental Film Festival Best Documentary, Ellensburg Film Festival Audience Award for Best Documentary, Sweet Onion Film Festival Best Independent Film and Focus Award, Montana CINE Bronze Plaque, Columbus International Film & Video Festival Best Environmental Film, Seattle True Independent Film Festival Special Jury Award, Eckerd College Environmental Film Festival "Best of Fest", Hazel Wolf Environmental Film Festival Best Environmental Film, Plymouth Independent Film Festival Longbaugh Film Festival Big Sky Film Series Globians Film Festival, Potsdam, Germany Idaho International Film Festival Ellensburg Film Festival Northwest Film & Video Festival Item no.

A profound and seminal meditation on the uses of photography and image-making in a culture very much in flux, the film demonstrates that difficult choices about how to regard history, reality, and material culture face everyone in contemporary China. Filmed in the rapidly changing city of Kunming, The Art of Regret incisively examines one of the most vexing and provocative questions surrounding photography today: do people want photography to be a medium of preservation and evidence, or of transformation and fantasy? While the Chinese cherish old photographs and the memories those photographic relics preserve, they also can -- and do -- visit computerized photo stalls in department stores and become transformed into movie stars. The film blends a rich array of thought-provoking sequences along with insightful and engaging commentary by the filmmaker herself. Downtown, in a big commercial complex, the old are made young again and everyone is made more "beautiful." A big photographic studio uses a traditional wooden camera to make a family portrait and then retouches it in a high-tech computer lab. A man tells of photos lost in the Cultural Revolution. A digitally restored photo brings three generations of women together. One photographer regrets that a photograph must always contain something that is missing. The Art of Regret is a compelling and eye-opening work that will inspire reflection and discussion in a variety of courses on China, Asian studies, cultural anthropology, development studies, popular culture, and photography.

DEFENSE THREETHREE-PHASE TRAINING SESSION With Elmar Bolowich Coach Bolowich and his assistants present this excellent training session in three phases; phase one is attacking the goal and getting behind the defender for a shot, phase two is the 7 v 5 situation and the third phase is an 11 v 10 situation, including: quality of shots, crosses from the flanks, timed runs into the box and combination play. One-on-one play is key to this training session. The 7 v 5 session looks for quality crosses, passes and hitting the key target areas. Attacks from the center of the field with combination play are also a focus. Offensive keys to the 7 v 5 session are: two attackers up front, hit the target post positions, timing, and quality shots on goal. Defensively the counter attack, playing out the ball, initiating the attack and visible offside line are important. Benefits of the 7 v 5 training are to create combination plays, serving the ball to targets, practicing quality shots on goal and gaining total field awareness. The 11 v 10 situation focuses on decision-making, being aware of the entire field before passing, and finding the open post in the box before giving up the ball and switching the ball to the opposite side of the field when zones are overloaded are important to solid play in 11 vs. 10.

A battery of set plays for each player, playing a fast paced game and shooting threes are all major parts of the Green Bay offensive attack. As Coach Kowalczyk begins to teach this offense, he demonstrates the initial spacing needed. All players space out beyond the 3-point line, with all three perimeter players being interchangeable. The focus for the dribbler is looking to score first and pass second. As the ball is reversed, the options are an open shot, high low pass, back door cut and ball reversal. Used as a secondary offense, at times it is much more effective than set plays. A small change is to pin down screen instead of back door cutting. Essential keys are ball movement, allow your guys to play, take what the defense gives you, timing and good cuts and screens. When played 5-on-5, many of the benefits of this offense are exposed. Several counters are incorporated into the attack and include; top flare, reverse flare, misdirection, re-screen and hook pass. To put this offense all together, breakdown drills are demonstrated to illustrate the most important pieces of the offense. Item no.

Attacking the heart of the zone, inside/out, is the goal of his offense. The keys are ball movement, man movement and penetrate as the ball moves from sideline to sideline. Gottfried believes that his perimeter players must be hard to guard and find the gap between two defenders. After one or two ball reversals, guards look to "knife the zone" by driving gaps. Post players are taught to be aggressive and move hard against the zone. Post players must occupy defenders along the baseline by flashing and posting up. One feature of Gotfried's zone style is attacking from behind from the short corner. The Double "O" is an alignment with two post low and three perimeter players on the outside. Another look is the 1-3-1 set, with the high post player acting as the "hub of the wheel."

Why 1/4 of your Gen Xers and 1/3 of your Gen Y's are actively looking for another job—right now. The bell-shaped career path, and how to keep your Boomers dialed in. The impact of demographic trends and generational differences is already causing trouble for employers. Fewer individuals are entering the workforce, and those that do tend to have lower qualifications while at the same time presuming higher expectations. Tamara Erickson explains how different generations of employees perceive the workplace, and describes how to attract and retain workers with this viewpoint in mind. Savvy employers will need to cast their nets far and wide: recruiting at multiple points, offering lateral career opportunities, and investing in development. And for retention, Erickson advocates "retiring retirement," introducing greater flexibility, and engaging the hearts and minds of your employees by giving their work meaning and personal value.

In a place so small, no one can be a stranger. Being openly gay there isn't easy, but part of day-to-day small town living is dealing with difficult but necessary relationships. The gay men and the one gay woman profiled talk about the delicate balance between being "out" but not so far out as to antagonize their neighbors. They participate in the usual small town rituals of barbeques, Fourth of July parades, church on Sunday, and above all tending to the land. It is the love of the land they farm that has drawn them to this town--some have roots that go back generations, while others have settled to be with their friends. The cinematography captures the idyllic beauty of the rural landscape making it easy to understand their attachment to this place. Each of the gay farmers has a story to tell of why and how they made Kendrick their home. As they blend in with the community, they find that even a commitment ceremony is reluctantly tolerated. The partners later reflect that now they are treated like just another old married couple living down the road with too many cats. In this examination of outsider status and the struggle to be accepted in one's community, Bachelor Farmer is a rich story of community in the most unlikely of places. Review "In today's polarized country of red and blue states, of gay marriage debates and the heated rhetoric of constitutional amendments, "Bachelor Farmer" is an affirmation that tolerance and understanding are home-grown." - Metrosource, NY ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Learning Rendezvous Limited Email: [email protected] Websites: http://www.learningemall.com & http://www.learningemall.com.hk 48 everyday life.

The film places these events in the context of present day race relations by following three concrete cases where black and white citizens warily explore if there is common ground for reconciliation over these expulsions. Banished raises this larger question: will the United States ever make meaningful reparations for the human rights abuses suffered, then and now, against its African American citizens? Can reconciliation between the races be possible without them? Between 1860 and 1920 hundreds of U.S. counties expelled their black residents. The pattern was depressingly similar in almost all cases. The counties tended to have small, defenseless black populations. A black man was rumored to have assaulted a white woman, was lynched and then white rioters attacked black neighborhoods with guns and firebombs. Few black property owners had time to sell their properties nor dared return to repossess them. Whites could then illegally assume ownership of them. African Americans not only lost their hard-won homes, farms and businesses, but saw their communities and families dispersed and their very right to exist violated. The film reveals that even one hundred years later, these racially cleansed communities tend to remain all-white bastions of separatism, sometimes harboring active klaverns of the Ku Klux Klan. Banished presents a fascinating detective story through yellowed newspaper archives, registries of deeds, photos from treasured family albums and dimly recalled stories of grandparents and great-grandparents who lived through these traumatic events to reconstruct a dramatic record of the expulsions. The film features black families determined to go to any length to reconstruct their families' past and gain some justice for their ancestors and themselves. It interviews dedicated local journalists, who braved community opposition, to research the banishments in-depth and force their readers to confront their towns' past and present. Banished was itself co-produced by award-winning documentary filmmaker Marco Williams and the Center for Investigative Reporting, widely respected for its in-depth, uncompromising coverage of social justice issues. Banished first visits Forsyth County, Georgia, now a prosperous suburban sprawl north of Atlanta. In 1912, African Americans were violently driven out; today there is still a saying among black folk: "Don't let the sun go down on you in Forsyth County." In 1987 a bi-racial Martin Luther King Celebration tour was organized through the all-white county. Buses filled with marchers were met by angry mobs, led by seven white supremacist groups and a melee ensued. The governor set up a commission to investigate the incident and to respond to black calls that the stolen land be returned to them. We meet the Strickland family as they return to the 2000 acres once owned by their great grandfather and they restore the neglected family burial ground as a "monument to the past." Although the commission found no deeds for the passage of land from half of the expelled black owners to whites, the white members denied that their community was responsible for any recompense and that statute of limitations had run out for any claims against illegal occupation. The Stricklands were denied not only their land but even the closure that the acknowledgement of past injustices might have given them. The small, peaceful town of Pierce City, Missouri, banished its African American population in1901; it is still all-white. In 2006, a descendant of one of the expelled families, Charles Brown, decided to exhume the body of his great-grandfather buried in Pierce City and inter it in the family plot in Springfield. He met bureaucratic stone-walling and what emerged as a pattern of denial and avoidance on the part of whites. But the soft-spoken, reasonable Brown persisted and finally convinced the local coroner and a former mayor to help him rebury his ancestor. But when he unexpectedly asked Pierce City to pay the bill as a token of regret for the banishment, the whites felt betrayed, the victims of a "bait and switch." They offered a transparently hypocritical response: the crimes of 1901 were so horrific that no dollar amount could ever compensate, only trivialize them. Sherrilyn Ifill, Professor of Law at the University of Maryland, stresses that reparations are a continuing process, providing recompense whenever and however it becomes possible. Finally, Banished travels to Harrison, ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Learning Rendezvous Limited Email: [email protected] Websites: http://www.learningemall.com & http://www.learningemall.com.hk 51 Arkansas, a small city where a faith-based process for "truth and reconciliation" was initiated, perhaps inspired by the South African example. In 1909, a white mob lynched a black man and then expelled the town's black citizens. It is still all-white, a Klan stronghold with the Confederate flag flying over the Chamber of Commerce and a refuge for retirees who "who want to live without black people." A Taskforce for Race Relations was formed to deal with this situation in a "substantive" way. It established two college scholarships for black students to attract them to the local schools, named after Aunt Vine, a maid, who was the only black person allowed to remain in Harrison after 1901. But one of the scholarship recipients observes that Harrison is still a "sundown town;" "black people won't spend the night in Harrison." The Taskforce hired a consultant, David Zimmerman, a local historian, who suggested they erect a monument in the city square acknowledging that nearby there once was a flourishing African American community which was destroyed by a white mob. This would provide a public space for acknowledgement, healing and reconciliation but even this modest plan was met with objections. Banished is as much a film about forgetting as remembering. In its understated way, it allows its white subjects to reveal a collective repression of their communities' racial history through selective memory, outright denial and rationalization. While African Americans seem compelled to remember, confront and redress the crimes of racism, many whites want to ignore them, not only to reject any responsibility for them but, more importantly, any responsibility for rectifying them. They do not seem to recognize that a free conscience can begin only with remorse. The theft of property, wealth, community and hope must at least be admitted and repaired to whatever extent practical. Racial cleansing is still rampant in the U.S., it just takes more subtle forms: red-lining, redevelopment, gentrification, gated communities, all-white suburbs, the Katrina Diaspora. This powerful but not rhetorical film makes evident that any reconciliation, any honest healing between the races, will only be possible once denial, the willful banishing of our racial past, has itself been banished. Because it is both a scrupulously researched history film and a probing study of the process of racial reconciliation, Banished is a valuable resource for teaching American History, the Jim Crow era, race relations, cultural competency, prejudice reduction, conflict resolution, and restorative justice as well as journalistic ethics. Banished is a co-production of the Center for Investigative Reporting, Two Tone Productions, the Independent Television Service and the National Black Programming Consortium with major funding provided by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. Reviews "BANISHED is a powerful and poignant documentary. Like few other films, it demonstrates compellingly the continuing effects of slavery and its’ aftermaths upon contemporary African-American families." - Randall Robinson – author of “The Debt…What America Owes To Blacks” "One need not support indiscriminate reparations to appreciate how Banished is a powerful, eye-opening film… Like Elliott Jaspin's landmark book, "Buried in the Bitter Waters", Marco Williams' film makes a compelling moral case for tangible recompense to the families whose land was stolen as a result of community-wide white mob violence." - David Garrow, author of "BEARING THE CROSS: Martin Luther King, Jr. and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference" "BANISHED provides a remarkable exploration of four sundown towns -places where historically, and even today, African Americans could not live or even spend the night. It is the perfect antidote for those who think we live in a post-racial society." - Dr. James Loewen, author of "Sundown Towns: A Hidden Dimension of American Racism" "A compelling and necessary chapter to the literature of racism in this country." - Hollywood Reporter "Remarkable… This crucially important documentary raises some difficult questions about what can be done in the present to make up for the crimes of the past." - TV Guide "A wrenching investigation of racism, resentment, and reparations."

These drills are done at one-quarter speed in position groups. All receivers are involved in the noose & settle drill, which is a catch, tuck and turn up the field exercise. The pat & go is an individual drill for receivers that help develop the skill of looking the ball in over their shoulder. Performing a set of unit drills develops the quick game. A segment of quick screens is another important part of the practice routine. One-on-one passing versus defensive backs and the inside drill are valued drills within this offensive attack.

Robert Hollis, Rana al Aiouby, Farhan al Bayati, Hesham Barbary, Raed Jarrar DIRECTOR(S): Stephen Marshall In late 2003, two filmmakers from the Sundance award-winning Guerrilla News Network spent three weeks on the frontlines of the simmering guerrilla war in Iraq, gathering intelligence, dodging bullets, and capturing the untold stories of what has become the world's most covered, and misunderstood, conflict. BattleGround is an irreverent journey that will challenge the orthodoxies of Left and Right, and highlight the humanity of all sides of the conflict. BattleGround will be a critical film for anyone who wants to understand the powerful forces that are sucking America deeper and deeper into a Middle Eastern quagmire. Is Iraq our generation's "Bright Shining Lie," or is it the frontline in a global battle for national survival? Or is to some combination of both? SPECIAL FEATURES: Exclusive Interview with Director Stephen Marshall and Producer Anthony Lappe Lost Scenes Breakfast at The Al Safeer Trailer Liner notes by Chris Chang of Film Comment Reviews "Historically, it's essential viewing…" Chicago Tribune "Battleground is more evenhanded than one might expect, but nonetheless strongly suggests the U.S. was wrong to create this 'quagmire' and will find it exceedingly difficult to 'win.'" - Variety "An honest to God documentary, refreshingly free of the kind of agendas that usually give slant to so many of the borderline propagandist films gaining notoriety in our current political climate." efilmcritic.com/Brian McKay "A complex, humanistic account of the conflict" - Indiewire "Engrossing and Chicago Reader "A movingly human and many-sided portrait of the war." - New York Times Item no.

Writes the artist, "I've separated the film into its constituent shots and time stretched them one by one to the exact same length, one half of a second. I then replaced the soundtrack with a one-second dance loop synced to the cuts." Through his reconfiguration, Bell-Smith replaces the editing structure of the original film (seminal in its use of montage) with the "dumb, visceral, metric montage favored by dance visuals and music videos" offering up a new context for the film's stark imagery and revolutionary narrative.

Blasi begins by discussing angling techniques for driving the puck carrier to the side. He teaches players to be stick on stick and body on body, with hand down to separate the man from the puck. Body checking takes good technique and execution. Players must be in good athletic position with the stick down and in control. When taking the hit, you should continue moving with your knees bent. Embracing the hit by using the hands and arms will soften the blow. Drills for angling and body checking include the angling wall drill with four drill variations, the shoulder check drill. Puck protection is an essential part of hockey. Key points are keeping your body between the puck and your opponent, keep your head up with knees bent, and use arms and hips to shield your opponent from the puck. The one-on-one keep away is an excellent drill to develop balancing skill. All five puck protection drills shown will help increase your puck protection skills! BECOMING A CHAMPION HOCKEY PLAYER: OFFENSIVE ESSENTIALS FOR PASSING, RECEIVING RECEIVING & SHOOTING With Enrico Blasi Passing and receiving skills cannot be underestimated and must always be improved upon! When delivering the puck, Coach Blasi teaches a sweeping motion, with weight shift, and a follow through with the stick. Keeping your head up, hands away from the body and follow through to target are keys to proper passing. Blasi's keys to receiving the puck include transferring weight from front to back, stick on ice to present a target, cushion the pass and soft hands. Keys to the backhand pass include puck in the middle of the blade, sweeping motion to the target and hands away from the body. The flip pass also requires a good follow through. A chopping motion and a short, abbreviated follow through will result in proper flip passing. Blasi demonstrates stationary passing drills such as the forehand pass and the flip pass drill. Other drills include partner passing, follow the pass drill, forward/backward drill, wide and narrow angle passing drill, circle drill, partner cone drill, tight turns box drill, and flip pass drill. Blasi includes keys for the proper slap shot, wrist shot, snap shot and backhand shot, which are also demonstrated in stationary and moving shooting drills. Item no.

Weight shifting is important in the 'short dribbles/wide sweeps' drill. The 'around the world' drill develops the bottom hand as it shifts around the stick. The 'figure eights' drill is similar and demands focus, balance and stick work. Weight shifting and rolling hands are key in the wide sweeps series. Cones can be used on the ice to create excellent drills. Puck handling control is the objective of the straddling the cones drill. Other cone drills include the short dribble/wide sweep drill, head fake drill, tight turns and tight turns box drill.

It involves body mechanics, using the stick, deception and developing different shots around the field. Focusing on push-pull, lacrosse legend Gary Gait begins with the basic shot. The same basic form can be aided by different release points, demonstrated by the game's greatest player. From a basic position, the player can accurately change the direction of the shot. Deception is another big part of developing skill as a shooter, and Gait shows proper body position for high and low shots. Gait clearly details the mechanics and teaching points used in deceptive shooting. Gait's next focus is to share different shots from the outside. Three main shots demonstrated are the sidearm crank shot, sweeping and on the run shots; most of your shots will come from these two types of shots.

Techniques for catching and protecting the ball are highlighted, as well as several different stick flips. Gait teaches throwing in two distinct parts; first, he concentrates on the hands and the arms away from the body. Learning to isolate the hands and arms develops control and the ability to throw in any direction, regardless of body position. When the body becomes involved, powerful shots and pinpoint passes can be made. Stick tricks include the 'behind the back' pass and the 'around the world' or 'reverse behind the back' pass. The 'handle slam' is another tricky maneuver demonstrated. Gait closes with the art of dodging.

With Dennis Nobles Coach Nobles utilizes two former All-American athletes to demonstrate the finer points of the long jump. Nobles states that the long jump must be seen as a sprint event, and sprinting is a major part of an athlete's success. Thrust/weight ratio is another major part of the engineering of long jumpers. This means the athlete has a strong upper body with little excess weight. Distance is determined by velocity, angle and center of gravity at take off. Nobles points out the inverse relationship between velocity and angle as it pertains to the long jump. Topics such as starting point, depth perception, rhythm and the run are main parts of Nobles teaching. At the board, the importance of angle becomes second to velocity. The goal is to increase angle without slowing down. The hitch kick is a three-phase process for advanced jumpers. The heel and knee, switch and jump/switch/close feet are the three parts of this crucial long jumping skill. Nobles finishes in the weight room demonstrating the key lifts for long jump athletes. The warm-up and stretching activities are stressed by Nobles are essential parts of the entire long jump routine for success. Item no.

With Dennis Nobles In this DVD, he utilizes the 2006 National Champion athlete to show athletes at all levels the finer points of the triple jump. Speed on the runway is the key to the triple jump, and the starting point for Nobles. The first step is the most variable and critical to the jump. Nobles encourages athletes to set a first step check mark to remain consistent with the initial step. Your runway spring is vital to how far you will jump and is a consistent emphasis by Nobles. When approaching the board, stability, balance and velocity are the major factors he teaches. Use of arms at takeoff can also determine your end result. The three distinct jumps are also seen as one individual entity. Instead of the hitch kick at the end, the hang technique is used. The hang is a way to slow the natural rotation of the body for maximum distance. Nobles also focuses on strength training, warm-up, and stretching exercises, all important to the jumper's ultimate success. Item no.

Coming from the countryside into the cities, they power the country's massive economic growth. This film features two powerful reports which offer contrasting views of migrants in Shanghai. REPORT 1 Kejun is 33 years old. He comes from one of China’s poorest provinces. Searching for a better life, he was hired by a construction company in Shanghai, where he now works for 5 dollars a day, 7 days a week. China has approximately 200 million migrant workers. Most live like Kejun. Chinese law prohibits the rural population to move into the cities. But the Chinese economy has become dependent on this cheap workforce from the countryside. So the law is often ignored. Migrant workers live their lives in the city under constant threat. Kejun and his cousin make a visit home to their village. One year has gone since they last saw their children. “I am so excited to come home now,” says Ka. “My life in Shanghai consists only of work – I do nothing else. You can get used to it, but it is very lonely.” But Kejun’s cousin is worried. She is six months pregnant, yet according to the law she shouldn’t be. If someone in her village denounces her to the authorities, she will have to pay a huge fine – 600 dollars. Kejun's uncle Changhong is a head-hunter and it was he who hired Kejun. He’s on the lookout for fresh workers for Shanghai’s building sites. The younger – and the cheaper - the better for him. Uncle Changhong’s latest recruit is packing for a new life. He will have to leave his wife and his little son behind. “I am very sad to leave my home,” he says, “I will miss everything here -- especially my family and my parents. The other workers have told me that you can return home only once a year.” REPORT 2 Shanghai - the glittering epicentre of China's boom economy. Xu Chuanruo, a 52-year-old street sweeper, came to Shanghai five years ago, leaving behind his wife and two kids in Hubei province, 1,000km away. In Shanghai Xu can make up to 1,200 yuan per month -- about $200. In China that's good money -- but this requires a 12-hour day, seven days a week. Xu lives with seven other people in a single room and sends $100 per month back to his family. He spends what little spare time he has practicing the disappearing art of calligraphy. Meanwhile in a small workshop a team of migrant workers are making decorations for the New Year’s celebrations. The lowest of the low are Zhang Yongqiang and his aunt Zhang Suqing who scavenge for styrofoam scraps. Communist China has no welfare net for its 100 million migrant workers -- they either work or go hungry. But the garbage collectors say that even a lowly job in Shanghai is better than the poverty of their village. Yet being a migrant worker doesn't necessarily equal poverty. Yang Mei has been in Shanghai for 12 years and now runs her own restaurant. All the staff in her restaurant are migrant workers. Many waitresses here are young and a long way from home. 19-year-old Zou Heyan arrived from Szechuan - a 4-day train trip - only about a week ago “I'm not used to the life here yet,” says Zou, “I feel weak like jelly after a day's work. I suffer from diarrhoea as I'm not used to the climate …At home we didn't have enough to eat. I've experienced hardship, so I can bear a lot.” Item no.

Receiver play on the University of Wisconsin football team is based on several keys: Define each receiver's passing tree, master passing tree vs. all looks, read it-see it-walk it-rep it and fitting drills to fit the offense. In breaking down the receiver positions, Mason states that the split end, the X receiver, should be your best receiver and a precision route runner. The Z receiver, flanker, is the fastest and most physical receiver because of his blocking responsibilities. The Z should lead your team in most yards per catch. The adjuster, R receiver, must be smart, moves to formations, and can run good buddy routes.

Fassbinder's immersive epic, restored in 2006 and available on DVD in this country for the first time, follows the hulking, violent, yet strangely childlike exconvict Franz Biberkopf (Gunter Lamprecht) as he attempts to "become an honest soul" amidst the corrosive urban landscape of Weimar-era Germany. With equal parts cynicism and humanity, Fassbinder details a mammoth portrait of a common man struggling to survive in a viciously uncommon time.

Fuller Fuller traveled to India (as a consultant to then-Prime Minister Indira Gandhi) and was deeply influenced by witnessing the famines resulting from the Indo-Pakistani border wars. With the election of Jimmy Carter, Fuller began a campaign to persuade the new president to end world hunger. His meeting with Carter in the Oval Office in June 1977 led to the establishment of the Presidential Commission on World Hunger. During the 1970s and 80s, Fuller traveled frequently to the USSR working as a citizen-scientist to improve and ease Cold War relations. This work led to the creation of the non-profit global corporation INTERNEWS, which promotes democracy via free and independent media, and for many years Fuller served as its chairman. Based on his years of experience in different types or organizations, Fuller formulated the idea of “rankism” to which we are all subject--and perpetrate--the subject of his book and this interview with Mitchell Rabin, which goes into this delicate subject with a much-needed discipline and courage. One will get here in this interview for A Better World TV a quick & certain sense and understanding of ranksim and the immediate need to reform it, as well as how it serves the next evolutionary step in the formation of Democracy. Review “Educator and humanitarian Fuller follows up his Somebodies and Nobodies with this stimulating, scattershot manifesto on the fight against "rankism," or the abuse of power based on rank. While the notion subsumes racism, sexism and class inequality, rankism also addresses the thousand daily insults…that everyone suffers in a hierarchical, status-conscious society. Fuller's program for a "dignitarian society" emphasizes…reform of institutions and interpersonal relations.” - Publishers Weekly In 1971 Item no.

Only six-and-one-half weeks later she was pronounced tumor free, text-book perfect, no drugs — no surgery!! "Through the humbling and profoundly transformational experience of naturally healing from a tumor in only six-and-one-half weeks, I uncovered a boundless joy and freedom that have been my daily experience ever since. As a result of this experience, Brandon Bays started writing and designed a process based on what she herself went through, now known the world over as The Journey. It has been integrated into the school system in South Africa, parts of Europe and Australia, as well as into hospitals and prison systems. It is helping free people from past patterns, emotional and physical. In this first of two interviews with Mitchell, Brandon “tells the story” in graphic detail of what she went through, and indeed, the liberation that came from it.

While on an airplane, his prayers were answered: he received a download of the blueprint which has since been named The Healing Codes. The purpose of The Healing Codes is to remove negative energy from “unhealed pictures”, and to reduce or completely eliminate stress in the body. Everyone wants a life filled with love, joy and peace. Unhealed pictures are what block us from fulfilling this kind of life. We all know of people with money, accomplishments, and fame who do not have love, joy or peace and are unhappy. The Healing Codes Techniques help heal the unhealed pictures that block abundant life on all levels. In this informative interview, Mitchell and the audience learn about what this remarkable system of healing is about, why it’s needed and how it is helping the thousands of people who are currently using it. It applies to health, happiness and prosperity all together. This interview will give you a quick understanding and overview of The Healing Codes in a delightful dialogue between these two lively therapists. Review "Dr. Alex Loyd has the defining healing technology in the world today - it will revolutionize health. It is the easiest way to get well and stay well fast.

A writer, TV producer and host, political and environmental activist, he was Director of the International Citizens’ Inquiry into 9/11, Phase 2, at the University of Toronto in May 2004. In Towers of Deception: The Media Cover-Up of 9/11 Zwicker provides readers with 26 "Exhibits" of evidence proving beyond reasonable doubt that 9/11 was an inside job, what's known as a "false flag operation." In a false flag operation, an attack is self-inflicted in order to mobilize the public against a designated enemy. In this interview, Barrie gives a good overview of his research both into the specifics of 9/11 that defy the official Commission’s report and into how national media did not investigate the matter, asking even the simplest of questions, to bring truth to light. Sobering and with far-reaching implications, this is not an interview you want to miss. Review “A dozen carefully-researched books have exposed the official story of 9/11 to be a terror fraud. Yet the mainstream media have monolithically failed to ask elementary questions about anomalies in this story.Towers of Deception explains why and prescribes actions to break out the truth.” vancouver.indymedia.org Item no.

The film weaves together thoughtful and eloquent commentary by activists, legal experts, theologians, seminarians, college students, service providers, and women for whom the decision to terminate or not to terminate a pregnancy has been a formative event in their lives. All bring admirable nuance and insight to a subject often avoided and fraught with prejudice, stereotypes, tension, and fear. Scenes filmed at protest demonstrations, prenatal care centers, abortion clinics, college campuses, and in Third-World countries provide additional context to the commentary. The film explores a wide array of the abortion debate to listen to each other with respect and compassion. An invaluable tool for stimulating discussion in women's studies, sociology, and ethics courses, the film's wide-ranging interviews and conversations expand our understanding of the complex issues surrounding abortion." -- Prof. Elizabeth C. Fine, Director, Humanities Program, Dept. of Interdisciplinary Studies, Virginia Tech overlapping issues and questions at the heart of the abortion debate: When does new life begin and when does a fetus become a person? Does the potential for personhood make a fetus a person immediately? What does openness to creation really mean in practice? Should reverence for life include reverence for the complexity of life? Is "innocent life" not threatened by poverty, domestic abuse, social violence, and war as well as by abortion? Do our theories of right and wrong address reality? Is sex for procreation only? What about intimacy and commitment? What about sex education? Will criminalizing abortion make it go away? Does abortion liberate women, or does it burden them with grief and shame? What are the rights and responsibilities of men with regard to unintended pregnancies? The film concludes with a poignant conversation between Angie and Barbara, two longtime friends whose simultaneous pregnancies highlighted their opposing views on abortion. "Without overblown rhetoric, without bombastic posturing, this impressive video captures the complex issues surrounding abortion. The many people interviewed reflect a wide range of ideas and life experiences. The quiet conversation among these people provides ample room for necessary dialogue. I couldn't help but rethink my own, lifelong views on abortion after listening to all these people. Students and faculty will benefit from this reasoned and compelling exploration of abortion. Watching the film gave me hope that there might just be a way to have an intelligent and critical discussion on this vital issue." -- Anne-Marie Drew, Prof. of English, US Naval Academy "A very powerful and well-balanced presentation on one of the great societal issues of our time. I must admit I did not always agree with some points of view, but that is to be expected given the nature of the subject. Students on college campuses will find the video very engaging, no matter what their personal beliefs. It is clear that the film has tried to present the subject in a way that is meant to encourage people to reflect on the issue in a non-polarizing way. I believe most students will appreciate that orientation." -- Gerry Silverstein, Prof. of Biology, University of Vermont "More than just another emotionally heated volley of arguments over a woman's right to terminate an unwanted pregnancy, this documentary... opens the door for continuing discussion on sex education, unwanted pregnancy, and abortion. Recommended." -- Dr. Carol Holzberg, in Booklist (American Library Assn.) The DVD also contains Special Features that delve deeper into related issues that could not be covered adequately in the film itself, including such topics as adoption, religion and abortion, reproductive justice and women of color, the possibility of finding common ground, and a conversation with Dan and Sidney Callahan, a loving married couple whose opposing views on abortion demonstrate the disparity and complexity of opinion on this subject. Such conversations remind us of our capacity to love and respect those who disagree with us. Beyond the Politics of Life and Choice will inspire compassionate listening and open-hearted discussion in a variety of courses in women's and gender studies, psychology, sociology, ethics, political science, public health, social justice, communication, conflict resolution, and contemporary social problems. Reviews "This film is the perfect ticket to lively, open classroom discussion of Pro-Life and Pro-Choice issues. Because so many perspectives are given concise, passionate, eloquent expression, students will be stimulated to think and speak their minds. Combined with the DVD's excellent Special Features, the film provides a basis for several hours of rewarding discussion and a launch pad for many thoughtful essays." -Virginia Ramey Mollenkott, Prof. Emeritus of Women's Studies and English, William Paterson University of New Jersey "Engaging, thought-provoking, and moving, this well-balanced film encourages those on both sides of Awards Vermont International Film Festival honoree White River Independent Film Festival honoree Item no.

SUGAR: ALTERNATIVE ENERGY SOURCE Brazil claims to have stolen a march on the industrial world. It's developed a cost-effective alternative to petroleum by growing sugar to produce ethanol. Brazil's sugar crops are a great source of the petrol-substitute ethanol. And now rising oil prices and Brazil's production of ethanol have led to an automotive revolution in the country. Car manufacturers in Brazil have created the flex car -- a vehicle that can run on either ethanol or petrol, or any combination of the two. Over 1.3 million flex cars are now running in Brazil - more than half total car sales The foundations for the country's "sweet revolution" were laid during the oil crisis in the 1970s, when Brazil's military-led government bankrolled the development of the ethanol industry. Ethanol can be produced from many crops but, in Brazil, it is made from the most potent and cost effective crop of them all, sugar cane. Brazil is the world's largest exporter of sugar and the biggest producer of ethanol. Sugar has been grown in Brazil for centuries, it's the conversion to alcohol that's a relatively new phenomenon. In north-east Brazil, much of the harvesting continues to be done by hand. Each man works a 10 hour day, 6 days a week, and cuts 8.5 tons of cane. The Brazilian government sees ethanol as a chance for the country to boost its economy by becoming a major exporter. Car manufacturers claim that the change to cars running on ethanol can be achieved without great costs. Special software helps the car to adjust for whatever mix of petrol or ethanol it's using. But it's not just on the roads that ethanol is powering Brazil. The world's first ethanol-fuelled planes are now being built. In Brazil, the price of fuel has helped convert millions to ethanol. But they're also claiming environmental advantages because ethanol exhaust gasses are cleaner. But not everyone is convinced that ethanol is Brazil's environmental saviour. Burning off sugar cane before the harvest is widely considered to be bad environmental practice. And although ethanol may be a renewable fuel, growing more sugar puts pressure on home soil. The sugar industry has a bad track record when it comes to looking after the environment, and forests throughout Brazil are being destroyed by the sugar farmers. Item no.

For some it is a lesson in history, for others it's a personal experience that adds a deeper appreciation of their family and of themselves. For Tame Iti, it's much more than that. For Tame, he's Tuhoe first, Maori Second, and would claim Aotearoa as his country ahead of New Zealand, where he resides. He is a man whose face and body are covered in tattoos; thus the term "prick" has a dual meaning, one for his body art, the other picks up a phrase used by both sides between Iti and a conservative politician. Certainly a unique documentary about a unique man, this program too offers an intellectual look at a clash of cultures, where one man, very openly outspoken, who would prefer to remain on of the "children of the mist," forces the question to be asked, what is wrong with not wanting to be part of today's modern societies?

The victims all had had contact with live bird markets there. Dr. Guan Yi, a professor at the University of Hong Kong, explains the path of infection in Southeast Asia (Vietnam was the ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Learning Rendezvous Limited Email: [email protected] Websites: http://www.learningemall.com & http://www.learningemall.com.hk 75 and "epicenter") in 2003 and 2005 when wild birds infected poultry on small farms. The poultry was then handled by humans who became infected. Bird Flu Wars recounts the diverse plans explored at the emergency meetings held in 2006 at the WHO (World Health Organization) headquarters in Geneva to prevent the virus from becoming a pandemic. Some of these plans call for the massive destruction of areas infected by the virus, preventive vaccinations of poultry and the industrialization of breeding. Many countries are stockpiling Tamiflu, the only recommended anti-viral medication. Unfortunately, some countries like Vietnam cannot cope economically with what is required to suppress H5 N1. For now, the Swiss pharmaceutical company La Roche is producing Tamiflu vaccine in huge quantities in their thirteen closely guarded factories. To date, they refuse to release the formula so that the vaccine can be produced generically. If in the future the virus mutates to a human flu; it then could be easily transmitted from human to human, endangering a huge population. At that point, the world would have to wait for a vaccine that could be put into production quickly. Would there be enough anti- viral medicine for everyone in need? Item no.

The film powerfully demonstrates how coffee drinkers in this and other developed countries hold in their hands the fate of farm families, farming communities, and entire ecosystems in coffee-growing regions worldwide. Birdsong and Coffee is divided into two sections. The first examines the background and global intricacy of the "coffee crisis," an ongoing situation that Seth Petchers of Oxfam International describes as a "humanitarian catastrophe." Coffee is the second most-traded commodity on earth, after oil. Interweaving a wide array of expert commentary, the film shows that 25 million coffee growers worldwide are paid a mere pittance in the corporate marketplace while bearing the full brunt of global price fluctuations. When prices crash, farmers go hungry and their children are forced to drop out of school. Families are separated, communities disintegrate, and the land is cleared for other crops or other means of livelihood. Such clearing of the land -- like the more "efficient" process of sun-grown coffee production -- disrupts the ecosystem in ways that have deadly consequences for migratory songbirds, in particular, and for global ecological balance, in general. To illustrate, we meet the coffee growers of Agua Buena in the rainforest of southern Costa Rica, who welcome us into their homes and fields and describe in their own words the labor-intensive process of shade-grown coffee production. Their lives vividly exemplify the unjust effects of global market mechanisms that keep coffee growers' prices down even as the retail prices for coffee increase in the U.S. The second section of the film examines a variety of simple but effective solutions to the coffee crisis based on what Robert Rice of the Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center calls the "natural organic connection that exists between farmers, coffee drinkers, and birds." Featured are students, faculty, and staff at the University of California at Santa Cruz, who introduce and explain the rationale behind and the importance of Fair Trade coffee. They and others demonstrate that by changing our buying habits, coffee consumers can not only guarantee farmers a fair price and a sustainable livelihood, but also protect migratory songbirds and the global environment -- all while enjoying the highest-quality coffee, sometimes even sent directly to our homes by the farmers themselves. The film also clearly explains the differences between market designations for coffee such as Free Trade, Fair Trade, Fair Trade Organic, Fair Trade Direct, and Bird-Friendly and Shade Grown, and it concludes by suggesting ways for viewers to become involved in the Fair Trade movement in their own communities. The DVD also contains several Special Features that enhance its usefulness in the classroom. These include Coffee To Go, a 23-minute version of the whole film that was edited down to air on the PBS series Natural Heroes in the Fall of 2007. This edited version focuses on the Fair Trade Direct relationship between coffee farmers in Costa Rica and students at the University of California at Santa Cruz. It encapsulates in a shorter version much of the key information in the complete film. There is also a 10-minute Special Feature that explains "Agroecology" and a 16-minute Feature on the Community Agroecology Network at the University of California at Santa Cruz. Birdsong and Coffee will engage students and motivate thought and discussion in a variety of courses in development and global studies, Latin American studies, economics, environmental issues, ethics, ornithology, and political science. Reviews "Using coffee as the central theme, this documentary illustrates the intersection between social, economic, political, and environmental issues. It is an excellent tool for courses that want to provide an interdisciplinary perspective to students. It also illustrates very effectively the importance of the connection between producers and consumers in developing alternatives to corporate globalization." -- Ivette Perfecto, Prof. of Natural Resources, University of Michigan "One of the few films that manages to eloquently integrate the issues of environmentally friendly production, the benefits and contradictions of sustainable coffee certification, and the promise of emerging alternative models (for example, the Community Agroecology Network). One of the film's main strengths is that it fully captures the voices of coffee producers, something seldom done in films that also address market and environmental issues from a global perspective." -- V. Ernesto Mendez, Asst. Prof., Environmental Program, University of Vermont "This film is the single best educational device I have seen -- and I have seen many -- for increasing people's understanding about how we can restructure the global economy in a democratic and ecological direction." -- Dr. Kevin Danaher, Co-Founder, Global Exchange "Gathers the various threads of problems facing the coffee industry and makes the logical but not-so-obvious connections to weave a compelling story for anyone interested where our coffee comes from, as well as the social and natural landscapes involved in its production." -- Dr. Robert Rice, Research Scientist, Smithsonian Institute Awards CINE Golden Eagle Award Wild and Scenic Environmental Film Festival honoree ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Learning Rendezvous Limited Email: [email protected] Websites: http://www.learningemall.com & http://www.learningemall.com.hk 76 Item no.

Tadesse Meskela is a man on a mission to save Ethiopia's 74,000 struggling coffee farmers from bankruptcy. Tadesse is manager of the Oromia Coffee Farmers Cooperative Union. The supply of coffee on the world market used to be regulated by the International Coffee Agreement until its collapse in 1989. Since then the price of coffee has fallen to a 30 year low. Globally two billion cups of coffee are drunk every day. But Ethiopian coffee farmers get a tiny fraction of the price paid for a cup of coffee by the western consumer. Four multinational companies dominate the world coffee market - Kraft, Nestle, Proctor & Gamble and Sara Lee. The international price of coffee is established in New York and London. As his farmers strive to harvest some of the highest quality coffee beans on the international market, Tadesse travels the world in an attempt to find buyers willing to pay a fair price. Chains of middlemen lie between coffee farmers and the roasters who prepare the coffee for sale to the consumer. The aim of Tadesse's co-op is to break these chains, and increase the end price to the farmer. Business for the giant coffee shop chain Starbucks is booming. But life in Sidama, Ethiopia, from which the US multinational gets its coffee, is grim. A famine is in progress, and the low price of coffee is making people poorer. UNITED KINGDOM: Haggis, neeps and tatties, cockles and whelks - this food aficionado is about to experience a whimsical journey through the UK. Meanwhile Tadesse is in London looking for customers for his fair traded coffee. But competition for space on the supermarket shelves is intense.

AMERICA'S GULF COAST: The renowned food writer takes a slow cruise across America's Gulf Coast in hopes of filling up on everything from pig guts to water rodents and raccoons. On a global scale, Africa is the only continent in the world to have got poorer in the last 20 years. It has become more dependent on emergency aid from countries like the US than ever before. Review "Less dangerous than Anthony Bourdain, less annoying than Rachael Ray and less cloying than Paula Deen, Mr. Zimmern is a delight." - THE NEW YORK TIMES Developing world countries argue the rules of global trade are biased against them, and that if they were allowed to compete fairly they would need far less aid.

Was a violent Islamic backlash against caricatures of the prophet Mohammed justified? Can democracy and fundamentalism coexist in the global community? This program travels to Lebanon, Iran, Syria, Qatar, and Turkey, as well as to France and Denmark, in search of answers. Viewers will encounter a wide array of perspectives from influential figures—such as Raed Hlayhel, the Danish Imam who moved to Lebanon to spearhead protests, Sheikh Yusef al-Qaradawi, the al-Jazeera Islamic televangelist who called for a “day of anger” against the cartoons, and leading staff members of newspapers that published them.

Pushing the ball to the sideline is the goal of this defense. A major concept in Huggins' defense is not allowing straight line passes. To execute this, players are taught to be on the line of the ball to make the pass go over the top instead of directly to the receiver. The result has an affect on the offense by making them move away from the basket to catch the ball. Every day Huggins runs a simple 2-on-2 drill to emphasize getting to the ball, or "sprint to help." The shell drill incorporates all of these principles and does not allow direct line passes. Another key drill is 1-one-1 closeout drill from basket to the top of the key.

The 3-on-1 close out drill forces the defender to react to the direction of the pass. Huggins wants to deny the ball to the post and shares his thoughts and a drill for post defense. Getting through screens is taught from an anticipation standpoint to beat the cutter to the ball. This drill is done with blocking pads to simulate contact on the screen. Item no.

But are any of them fluent in Kinesics? Kinesics is the study of body language as a form of communication. People engaged in a conversation may exchange 200 words per minute, but more than half of their communication is nonverbal. We often use gestures, postures and eye contact without thinking twice about them, but these behaviors can communicate so much beyond the words that we use. The way we treat our personal space and that of others can send a message that is loud and clear, even if we never speak a word. This program is an informative look into the fascinating world of nonverbal communication. Body Language I guides viewers through the land of space wars, tongue showing, mirrored postures and the many layers that make up unspoken communication. Item no.

Is it possible to read people’s thoughts and feelings just by looking at them? Well, we can get pretty close if we learn to identify the silent signals they send. We send signals all the time and may not even be aware of it. Gestures we use and faces we make send signals. The volume, speed and inflections of our voices communicate in ways that we many not intend. Through the study of emblems, illustrators, affect displays and eye behavior, a student of body language can gain insight to what people express beyond the words that they use. When people do use words, students can learn to identify and interpret paralanguage. This program provides valuable information about interpreting body language by presenting fun, easy to understand and real life examples. If your students apply this information and do some intelligent people watching, they’ll see a whole new world of communication they may never have noticed. Item no.

A low-key, semi-improvised postpunk diary that took four years to complete, Border Radio features legendary rocker Chris D. of the Flesh Eaters as a singer/songwriter who has stolen loot from a club and gone missing, leaving his wife (Luanna Anders), a no-nonsense rock journalist, to track him down with the help of his friends (John Doe of the band X; Chris Shearer).

Narrated by Hector Elizondo. The 65th Infantry Regiment was created in ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Learning Rendezvous Limited Email: [email protected] Websites: http://www.learningemall.com & http://www.learningemall.com.hk 81 1899 by the U.S. Congress as a segregated unit composed primarily of Puerto Ricans with mostly continental officers. It went on to serve meritoriously in three wars: World War I, World War II and the Korean War. The unit was nicknamed after “Borinquen”, the word given to Puerto Rico by its original inhabitants, the Taino Indians, meaning "land of the brave lord". Puerto Ricans occupy a special place in the history of the U.S. Army. Because of the island’s commonwealth status, they don't have the right to vote in U.S. elections, and yet they serve in the military and can be drafted. For many of the veterans of the 65th, this paradox became an incentive to be even more patriotic, and to prove themselves in battle. Although thousands of Puerto Ricans have served courageously in the Armed Forces, their contribution and sacrifices have gone largely unnoticed. Until now. A result of extensive historical research and interviews with 250 veterans and commanding officers of the 65th Infantry from all over the United States and Puerto Rico, The Borinqueneers explores the rich history of this unique regiment, from its very beginnings to its final and controversial desegregation. Reviews “A passionate rejoinder to Ken Burns, whose World War II documentary drew sharp criticism from Latino and American Indian groups for initially ignoring their contributions during that war…. The Borinqueneers gives a once-storied Puerto Rican regiment its due.” – The New York Times “An excellent choice for libraries…. The strength of the film is the commentary provided by former members; they are exceptionally candid about their military experiences, reasons for serving, and relationships formed under fire. Historians’ and former military officers’ commentary provide an outside view of the regiment, praising their heroism and bravery. The film also examines how mismanagement of the unit by assigning non-Spanish-speaking officers led to mass insubordination and the arrest of 100 soldiers. A number of relevant topics are covered: racism in the military, America’s relationship with Puerto Rico, and the Korean conflict. But what makes the film most compelling is its examination of friendship and camaraderie under fire.” - School Library Journal "The Borinqueneers, is both informative and heartbreaking. The film is a necessary step in revealing the complex history of these Puerto Rican soldiers — brave, proud men — and their contributions should be celebrated, especially given how they’re glaringly absent from history books… the film is dense and well-researched, and it does its best to remain objective, instead largely allowing viewers to interpret these historical events according to their own belief systems." - Si TV Item no.

ACTORS/ARTISTS: Jonathan McEuen, Phil Salazar, Mark Searcy, Tom Corbett, Randy Tico & Orest Balaban, Jamie Hanna, John McEuen, Nathan McEuen Kurt Masur also gives an in-depth interview prior to each symphony, both thought-provoking and stimulating, in which he talks about his family background and his long association with this world-famous orchestra, having studied, like many members of the orchestra, at the Leipzig Conservatoire. He also discusses Brahms’ four symphonies, which he sees as a single great inspiration, with each symphony like a separate movement, together amounting to the symphony of Brahms’ life. It is fascinating to hear them performed as a cycle with a consistent approach and by a conductor and an orchestra with such a distinguished and distinctive tradition. If you believe, as Kurt Masur does, that the four symphonies are related, that one leads to the other and together they form a single grand symphonic sweep, then it can make you hear them in a totally different way.

Burt Lancaster is the timeworn Joe Collins, who, along with his fellow inmates, lives under the heavy thumb of the sadistic, power-tripping guard Captain Munsey (a riveting Hume Cronyn). Only Collins's dreams of escape keep him going, but how can he possibly bust out of Munsey's chains? Matter-of-fact and ferocious, Brute Force builds to an explosive climax that shows that man's desperation for freedom knows no bounds. Reviews "One of Jules Dassin's best films."

Holding players accountable for defensive play starts with a commitment to that end of the floor. Coaches need to determine the most effective way to protect the basket. Fox teaches players to take charges to protect the goal. Another key is playing the pass as well as defending the dribble. The one-on-one drill emphasizes tracing the ball with hands. This drill can be done full court or stationary. Defending on the wing takes a square stance while defending the pass and the dribble. The shell drill puts several components of defense together into one drill. This versatile shell drill allows the coach to cover multiple situations that occur in a game. A defender must be able to guard every spot on the floor. Fox teaches his philosophy on teaching the down screen, back screen, on ball screen, curl cut, denying cutters, help side position, one-on-one from the wing, help and recover, getting through screens and the cross screen.

Program building must include vision, plan of action, resources and support, infrastructure and foundation. All members of the team live by a mission statement that sets the standard and expectations of all team members. The vision statement requires you to define who you are and what success is to you. Determining what kind of coach you are forces you to decide on a style of play. Goals and objective are also a part of Sutton's vision statement. The plan of action allows you to achieve the goals and objectives that you establish. Bringing the community together is a major part of the plan of action for building a successful program. A positive relationship with faculty and administration is needed to bring all parties together on a common path. Laying a foundation is the difference between good teams and good programs. Roots of foundation are collective excellence, team accountability, academic commitment, respect for the program and unselfishness. Conceive it, believe it and achieve is Coach Sutton's message.

Getting in a stance and staying in a stance separates the average teams from the great ones. Greenberg is so committed to stance he designed an intense "stance workout." This workout develops six great qualities in his teams that include toughness, discipline, togetherness, team bonding, peer pressure and an understanding of on and off the ball stance. Using an entire team, Greenberg teaches the details of defensive stance. Items like foot alignment, elbow position, chest out, head up and outside hand are all important. A stickler for details, he carefully makes corrections to each player's stance. Instead of the standard "step-slide" technique, Greenberg teaches quick and short choppy steps. The goal is to influence to the sideline, but make the offensive player drive through your chest. Other key areas that Greenberg covers are the "slide-run-slide," half-court slides, mirror/trace, off ball stance, slipping screens, deny support, close out technique, "low man wins" and the all-in-one drill.

Modern enterprises must rapidly adapt to changing business and marketplace requirements. Adaptation, in turn, depends on rapidly changing information systems. But change often brings disruption, and information systems need to be resilient when surrounded by disruptions. Resiliency systems will enable the enterprise to ride-out any kind of outage and be flexible enough to absorb changes - with minimal disruption to the business. Calm down, Assess the situation, Gauge alternatives, and Empower yourself by choosing how to react: that’s the way to safely C.A.G.E. the rage. By viewing this program, students will (1) see how to identify anger in themselves and those around them; (2) understand why mismanaged anger is so destructive; (3) discover how anger gets repressed, and the bodily and mental illnesses that may result from it; and (4) learn to release anger and express emotions in an acceptable and positive way using the C.A.G.E. method. Scenarios in which students model first unhealthy and then healthy behaviors make this program a particularly effective teaching tool. Candid interviews with experts and teens are also included.

Carlos said, "Let's start a rumor that we're putting a band together." Wayne's eyes got bigger and brighter as he smiled and then responded: "Yeah, Carlos, let's start a rumor." A few months later the Carlos Santana/Wayne Shorter Band performed its debut concert at The Fillmore in San Francisco, the beginning of a 26-concert tour throughout the U.S. and Europe. The performance of this magnificent band was recorded at Montreux, Switzerland, on July 14, 1988, and includes interviews with Carlos Santana, Wayne Shorter and festival creator Claude Nobs. By Carolee Schneemann In her earliest film, which has been newly transferred to video, Schneemann presents an abstracted portrait of the American composer Carl Ruggles, known for his irascible personality and finely-crafted atonal music. Ruggles is seen enjoying pie a la mode and ruminating on subjects ranging from Christmas to his incomplete opera The Sunken Bell. The hand-painted film stock heightens the impressionistic vitality of this snapshot of the 84-year-old composer, who is heard paraphrasing Freud: "Everything that you do is a matter of sex. That is the great passion of life." : : : : Item no.

Made in the climate of post-modernism, recognisable tendencies of the time such as irony, appropriation, lack of narrative structure and a fusion of fine art with popular culture are evident in these works. Viewers are constantly engaged in an attempt to find new meanings in the flow of image and sound. Later projects, whilst retaining structural similarity, are less a critique of notions relating to art/art context and are more involved with issues. The six videos on DVD, together with catalogues and other general information, give a vivid insight into the singular oeuvre of a widely exhibited and much awarded Australian artist. Item no.

The film is introduced by Barry Humphries with excerpts from one of his early poems " The Ballad of Charles Blackman". Apart from a few lateral asides the film takes a chronological voyage, from Charles's memories of childhood up until the present time, through the " tunnel of adolescence," and the darker aspects of Charles's soul, across the seas to London and back again. Along the way the film examines Charles's contribution to the development of a unique sense of Australian identity. More than any other male Australian painter, Charles has painted from a feminine perspective - " I'm like a cork on an ocean of femininity". Charles explores areas of feeling that have traditionally been suppressed feelings of love, guilt, tenderness, sadness and isolation. This humanist approach changed perceptions of how we as Australians and the international community, saw this country. The epithet "Big,Tough and Tender" applied by one English critics to Charles's work stuck for Australian art in general. Directed by Richard Moore. Item no.

The Chicken Stampede outlines the global forces that compete for a market in which 160,000 tons of chicken are consumed each day, worldwide. The U.S. and Europe used to be the leading suppliers, but this film shows that Thailand and Brazil are waging a fight to take over. Not surprisingly, politics plays a big role in the market. The World Trade Organization used its loans to persuade the Cameroon government to open its borders to imports. The result was that local farmers were put out of business. When Avian flu struck, the largest chicken company in Thailand, CPF, did not have to kill any of its birds, whereas thousands of family farms were wiped out by order of the government. It helped to know the right people for there had been small farmers who kept their coops as safe and spotless as did CPF. The French chicken farmers were being forced out of business by the importation of low priced frozen chicken from Brazil. Finally a Farmers Confederation was formed to protect the private farmers. Through portrayals of traditional farmers up against poultry businessmen the film makes us question whether the globalization of food production is good for society. Item no.

Betancor The mines of Bolivia date back to 1545 when the Spanish conquerors who discovered pure silver in an Inca region dominated by a mountain they named Cerro Rico. At its base the city of Potosi grew, along with the largest mining industry of its time. Four centuries later the mines still produce silver, zinc and lead while the miners work in hazardous conditions that have changed little over the years. The film gives a brief history of COMIBOL, the multi-mineral corporation controlled by organized labor which failed to keep pace with modern technology. In 1985, when the tin market collapsed and Bolivia faced hyperinflation, COMIBOL shut down most of its activities. In its place miners formed small cooperatives and continued to earn a meager livelihood.

Much of the labor is done by hand-- even women crush rocks with hammers in search of silver. Silicosis is rampant for the miners breathe air laden with silicon particles. Despite these hardships, the miners feel a pride in their profession and in the tradition they are maintaining. Like their ancestors they put their faith in an ancient demon god known as "El Tio" and curry his favor with offerings.

CHONGQING, CHINA: Chongqing in China is already the largest city in the world and it's growing at a rate that beggars belief. Migrant workers flood in from the countryside and skyscrapers spring up. But what is the cost of rapid industrialisation? THE BANGBANG MAN: The film follows a day in the life of the city and the people who work in it. Yu Lebo is one of the army of "bangbang" men who carry goods about the city. He gets 20 pence for an hour of backbreaking work. THE BUILDER: Every day the migrant builders complete 70,000 square metres of new floor space. One of them is Chen Li who reckons he has worked on 70 to 80 tower blocks in the last nine years. "The buildings are getting taller and better," he says. THE WINDOW CLEANER: Li Zhiguan was once a farmer -- now he hangs off the edge of the huge skyscrapers cleaning windows. It's dangerous work. He should have a glorious view of the city - except the buildings are shrouded in pollution. THE INDUSTRIALIST: Chongqing is famous for its motorcycle industry - now it's expanding into cars. Yin Mingshan is one of the industrialists who are transforming China. He opened his first company in 1992 with nine staff. He now employs 9,000 workers. : 90 minutes 56 seconds : 2007 : USD 49.99 THE PROBLEMS: But as well as air pollution, there are big problems with sewage and waste disposal. Cultural development is falling behind as the forces of globalisation transform the city. Duration Copyright Price CURITIBA, BRAZIL: Curitiba is a city in a developing country, too -- but people actually like living there. It claims to have created a better environment and quality of life than in much of the "first world". How? CHINA ON THE RISE: PAUL PAUL SOLMAN REPORTS CARS V PEOPLE: It all started with one man and a simple idea - prioritising people over cars. Jaime Lerner became mayor in the early '70s. Instead of demolishing buildings to cope with increased traffic, he paved the street and closed it to traffic, creating Brazil's first pedestrian mall. PUBLIC TRANSPORT: Lerner transformed the city's public transport system with new traffic paths, bus-only lanes, triple articulated buses to carry more passengers, and glass tubes to speed up the boarding process. "We started with 25,000 passengers a day and now we are transporting more than 2 million passengers" says Lerner. PARKS: Another crucial element in the city's success story is its extensive network of parks which ring the city. Previously unusable land has been turned into parks giving citizens above average access to green space. SLUMS: But there is a major problem confronting all Brazilian cities, including Curitiba -- the slums. Lerner started a scheme in which slum-dwellers clean up the areas where they live and are given food for the rubbish they collect. The city also offers residents low interest mortgages to live in newly built suburbs. Item no.

Not dwelling on the causes of China's economic boom, this program underscores the transformations, contrasts and exuberance of Shanghai's renewed dynamism. Here we get a glimpse of the new China, as well as a reflection on the responsibilities of Western countries. In Shanghai today we discover the buzzword is "success" success at any cost. We are introduced to several Shanghai residents, such as architects, writers and entrepreneurs, plus a number of ordinary people, and some "nouveau riche," those who crave luxury. Shanghai we see represents the splendors and miseries of global capitalism, where there is sadly no room for the well being of a so-called Western-like middle class; also we learn how middle classes in Western countries are experiencing progressive erosion as a result of China's giant economy, which is impervious to the fair redistribution of profit. Finally, we look at the advantages and drifts of a model of economic growth that is striving to export all over the world, with unperturbed optimism,in the name of "development." Item no.

The director, Ophra Yerushalmi, for whom Chopin has been a constant source of inspiration, is joined by musicians and non-musicians, dancers, poets and visual artists. They are young and old, masters and students, all with special affinity to the composer. Together they investigate different layers hidden under the seeming simplicity of the music and its sheer beauty. Among those participating are composers Lukas Foss and John Eaton, pianists Abbey Simon, Arie Vardi and Frederic Chiu, as well as Jerome Lowenthal and Pavlina Dokovska of the Julliard and Mannes schools of music. Also included are two rare solo dances choreographed by Jose Limon and Jerome Robbins, danced by Carla Maxwell and Helgi Tomasson. Chopin's Afterlife shows a surprising variety of ways in which Chopin remains meaningful in our contemporary world, so different from Chopin's own. The film is an attempt to create a bridge between the "romantic" and the "revolutionary" Chopin and to challenge viewers to look at Chopin in new ways. Reviews "... wrests Chopin out of myth and legend, into the fiery intimacy and truthfulness that a dedicated pianist can evoke..." - Cynthia Ozick, writer "opens up genuinely new perspectives on the genre..." - Volker Berghahn, professor, Columbia University "This engaging and lovingly crafted film illuminates the profound influence of this great master, and opens our eyes to the long shadow he casts on music past, present and future."

Author: Andrew McAfee Illustrates the challenges associated with centralizing IT decisions at Cisco after a decade of decentralized planning and project funding. When Brad Boston became Cisco's new CIO in 2001, he found that managers were starting to get frustrated with the results of their latest IT initiatives. Boston believed that Cisco needed to focus on its global infrastructure before investing in more functional tools and applications. Under the leadership of Boston and an executive operating committee, Cisco selected three major enterprise projects that required an unprecedented level of process planning and cross-functional cooperation, a major change from Cisco's legacy of entrepreneurial drive. As these three projects started to wind down in 2004, Boston and the operating committee were thinking about what types of new projects the IT organization should support. Raises issues about change management, centralized planning, IT prioritization and resource allocation, enterprise cooperation, and project funding. Item no.

Holidays are hard to celebrate during a time of war, but Independence Day 1863 saw the end of one of the greatest battles of the Civil War, and soldiers and their families still found time to mark the Christmas season and hope that peace would bring them back together again. It took the Civil War for Independence Day to become a federal holiday. Two pivotal battles that turned the tide of the war in favor of the Union?Gettysburg and Vicksburg?had similar outcomes on the same day: July 4, 1863. This program explores both battles, with emphasis on Gettysburg. In particular, the commemorative painting known as the Gettysburg Cyclorama becomes the focal point of history, art, and remembrance. Many Americans take for granted that Christmas is a federal holiday, but how did this religious event become a national one? The answer takes us back to the time of the Civil War. In fact, the modern-day notion of Christmas has its roots in a time when America was at war with itself. Item no.

Past coaching experiences with the likes of Pete Carroll and Bill Belichick has given Coach Walker a wealth of knowledge on this tactic. Ball awareness is the most important element of this concept and is defined as a player trained to locate the ball handler and the position of the football at all times. In teaching disruptions, five areas take on great importance: The altered pass, batted balls, forced fumble, pass break up and the interception. Using an overhead, Walker details the teaching methods of all five areas. Then, by using game footage, he shows the technique and strategy used to gain possession of the ball. By implementing a practice production point system, coaches are able to measure the amount of disruptions made by the defense in detailed fashion The value of disrupting the ball can be seen in national statistics; consider: of the top 25 teams based on turnover ratio in 2006, 21 of those teams were bowl eligible!

In response, the farmers formed a powerful union. Their leader is the Aymara Indian Evo Morales, and in 2005 this unwavering, unpretentious socialist made an historic bid for the presidency. A lively story about geopolitics, people's movements, Indigenous culture, and one man's impressive determination, Cocalero closely follows Evo's campaign, getting up close and personal with the candidate and the union organization backing him, while presenting critical views of both. What makes Evo so fascinating is how unlikely a candidate he is. A relaxed 40-something bachelor who sports blue jeans and sneakers and lives in a one-room house, he drinks beer with his cronies and goes swimming in his underwear. Yet he moves effortlessly from formal fund-raising dinner to mass rally, charismatically proposing the redistribution of wealth, renationalization of industries, and legalization of coca products. Not surprisingly, Evo's populist platform elicits strong responses. After he addresses Venezuela's Hugo Chavez as "Commandante," Bolivian TV questions whether Evo is on Chavez's payroll, and his presence at an airport elicits racist epithets.

Cocalero is a captivating portrait of this controversial figure and his astonishing rise to power. In recent years, the U.S. government, working with Bolivian authorities, has attempted to stem the flow of cocaine from Bolivia by eradicating the country’s coca crop – essentially directing its devastating war on drugs against the country’s indigenous farmers. To protect their livelihood, the farmers formed a union and elected as their leader, an unknown, unwavering, and unpretentious socialist named Evo Morales. A story of geopolitics, people’s movements, Indigenous culture, and one man’s impressive determination, Cocalero chronicles Morales’ historic presidential campaign, getting up close and personal with the candidate and the union organization backing him. As the film shows, what makes Morales so fascinating is how unlikely a candidate he is. A relaxed 40-something bachelor who wears blue jeans and sneakers, lives in a one-room house, drinks beer with his friends, and goes swimming in his underwear. Yet he is able to move effortlessly from the coca plantations of his youth to formal fundraising dinners to mass rallies, all the while charismatically proposing the redistribution of wealth, renationalization of industries, and the legalization of coca products. Not surprisingly, Morales’ populist platform elicits strong responses. After he addresses Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez as “commandante,” Bolivian TV questions whether he is on Chavez’s payroll. In the cities, far from his core constituency, he must weather racial insults and epithets. But on January 22, 2006, to the surprise of many, Morales was sworn in as Bolivia’s 80th President, the first indigenous head of state since the Spanish Conquest over 500 years ago – and only the third indigenous leader in Latin American history. Reviews “An outstanding selection of the 2007 Human Rights Watch Film Festival, Alejandro Landes’s Cocalero follows the rise of President Evo Morales of Bolivia, a grass-roots politician backed by impoverished coca farmers threatened by the American war on drugs.” – Stephen Holden, The New York Times “A luminous portrait...

Now it's the most recognised brand name on earth. How did this happen? With examples of classic adverts, on both print and film, this award-winning US film explores the marketing techniques which lie behind Coke's historic success. HISTORY: The Coca-Cola story begins in the deep south of America at the end of the nineteenth century. Coke is invented as an exotic cure-all by a man trying to kick his addiction to morphine. THE BIRTH OF MODERN ADVERTISING: But the secret of the new drink's success lie in its marketing. Revolutionary mass advertising techniques are used to sell it as a refreshing drink for everyone. IMAGES OF WOMEN: Images of Coke appear everywhere. Coca-Cola spends an unheard of 20% of its revenue on advertising. Women become vital to Coke both in its advertising and as a market. A bottle with a distinctive design becomes a vital asset in its marketing effort. SANTA CLAUS: Coke resists accusations that it's taregeting kids, but cleverly uses young people in its adverts. The image of the Santa Claus of today owes much to early Coke advertising. BATTLE OF THE BRANDS: Integral to the Coke story is its long-running battle with Pepsi. A wealth of marketing and advertising imagination is employed on both sides. Coke is the "real thing", but A NEW RELIGION: Market researchers examine the responses of people to Pepsi and Coke, trying to work out why we choose one over the other -- even though there's almost no difference in the taste. And what about their social impact? Is Coke part of a new, fantasy-driven, consumerist religion in which what we buy defines who we are?

HISTORY: After the First World War Coke and Pepsi are both in commercial trouble, hit by the high price of sugar. But Coke's new boss Robert Woodruff sets the company up for radical growth. COKE AT WAR: In the Second World War Woodruff promises that every US soldier will get a bottle of Coke for five cents. Bottling plants are shifted overseas. Coke employees become part of the US military effort. Coca-Cola becomes a worldwide symbol of the American way of life. CIVIL RIGHTS: In the 1960s, Coke is boycotted by Martin Luther King and the US civil rights movement for racist policies. Coke has no black board members or black salespeople - and finds it has to change its ways. COKE'S GLOBAL QUEST: In the 1980s Coca-Cola is top of the world's soft drinks. But now it sets out to go further - to become the number one drink on earth. MEXICO: In Mexico, unlike China or France, Coke meets with little resistance. In some towns, Coke and Pepsi even become incorporated into local religious rituals as a kind of holy water. GUATEMALA: Coke directs an empire of independent bottlers across the world. Coke claims not to interfere with local politics - but in Guatemala the activities of one of its bottlers cause a scandal when employees trying to start a union are murdered. Outrages in other countries -most notoriously Colombia -- also blacken the company's name. THE BATTLE GOES ON: Coke's quest for world domination goes on. Coke's priority is the emerging markets - countries like China and India. But critics claim the costs to local people are too high and press for government action to curb the company's power.

But sometimes kids have no idea how to handle new situations such as introducing themselves to new classmates. Or, they may repeatedly struggle with familiar, but problem situations for them such as whining when asked to do a chore or refusing to share a toy when playing with others. Many problem behaviors can be prevented or reduced if you teach your children the behaviors you want them to use instead. On this DVD, you'll see the Common Sense Parenting technique of Preventive Teaching, showing children what they need to do and say in a future situation and practicing it in advance. Often, what you need to teach a child is an appropriate social skill – how to follow instructions, how to accept "no" for an answer, how to share – to replace the problem behavior. The key to preventing problems is teaching before a potential problem situation occurs, when both you and your child are calm. Preparing children by helping them learn social and life skills not only helps prevent disruptive behavior but can also save them from experiencing awkward, embarrassing, or even dangerous situations.

The Common Sense Parenting technique of Corrective Teaching stops negative behavior, delivers a consequence, and teaches children a positive, alternative behavior. First, you will learn how using both positive and negative consequences can help you change children's behavior. Praise, attention, rewards, and privileges are positive consequences that you can use to encourage your child to repeat good behavior. Negative consequences like removing a privilege or giving a chore can discourage a child from repeating bad behavior. Then this DVD shows you the steps to not only getting children to stop misbehaving but to teaching them how to replace the negative behavior with a positive one. Item no.

He spent the postwar decade documenting the changing way of life in Japan and Asia, covering Emperor Hirohito, General MacArthur, Chiang Kai-Shek, Prince Sihanouk, and the wars in Korea. China, and Vietnam. His photographs countered the numerous stereotypes of Asian culture perpetrated at the time. Bristol's photographs were lost for forty years after he destroyed every print he could find in a terrible act of self-recrimination when his wife committed suicide in 1955. Incredibly, three footlockers containing over 3,000 of his negatives were discovered in 1995. Rock superstar Graham Nash, a photographer and collector himself, initiated the restoration of Bristol's life's work.

He sees the offensive transition game as a way to ease the pressure off your half court offense to manufacture points. Weber starts with basic one-on-one drills and then builds into more game-like situation. He places an emphasis on defensive transition early in the season because other team's offenses are not fully developed. When teaching the fast break, there are four main focus areas: warm-up, primary drills, early offense and competitive play. Without a numbers advantage, he teaches the "transition motion" game, which flows right into half court offense. Drills include three-man fast break, 5-0 conditioning, speed lay-ups, three-man weave, 3-on-3 transition defense drill and 3-on-3 box out and transition. The 20-point game is Weber's favorite competitive drill. This is a full court 3-on-3 drill that also serves as a great conditioner. Item no.

Drills for building the press offense begin with a full court 2-0 drill. The drill progression includes 3-0, 4-0 and 5-0. Ball handling, passing, decision and game like shots are part of each segment. The close out drill is an intense drill that involves four players who must react quickly to their man and push the ball handler higher. Another game like drill is the drive and kick and baseline drive where players work on shooting and passing. In addition, Crean provides a few competitive shooting drills.

O'Neill is a "run back" guy in terms of defensive transition, meaning three players sprint back on defense as soon as the shot is taken. Half court defense starts by forcing the ball to a side. At this point there is a strong side and a weak side. Weak side players are positioned in the middle of the floor for help. O'Neill believes that a team's defensive effectiveness is measured by their ability to scramble and pick up. To illustrate this, the 5-on-4 drill puts pressure on the defense by being at a one man disadvantage. This drill is done in the half court and full court, including the switch and change call. The 5-on-5 full court forces both teams to defend the basket and not give up easy shots. O'Neill teaches the keys to half court man-to-man defense, focusing on stance and trapping. Pick and roll defense includes the blitz, a hard double team on the ball handing guard. An important point is to give the offense just one way to go, especially on the ball screens.

Full court passing drills create good habits, communication and passing skills. Other passing drills include three-man full court passing and three-man weave. Team ball handling is accomplished by the dribble series. This series includes the speed drills and ability to maneuver around cones on the floor. The 44-and-1 lay-up drill pushes players to make 44 lay-ups in one minute. Coach Shyatt shares six perimeter-shooting drills, and concludes with an intense defensive shell drill that incorporates positioning with the rope technique. Item no. Format : HA01850471 : DVD COMPLETE GUIDE TO PASSING, THE: TECHNIQUE, TACTICS & DRILLS With Bond Shymansky Coach Shymansky focuses on non-linear passing, specifically the platform passing technique. Platform passing starts with the players' feet, toes, knees, shoulders and hips all square to the ball, not to the target area. Moving players use two shuffle steps to get into position for the ball. Hand positioning is key and Shymansky prefers the overlapping technique, or fist technique, for non-linear passing. Thumbs are pushed down to the floor as elbows are extended out. The contact point is in the forearm area with the left hand over right. Contact should happen at the knee level and important to non-linear passing. The next key in successful platform passing is the shift. The focus is on creating power by shifting the body, not by swinging the arms. Holding your angle when hitting the ball gives feedback after ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Learning Rendezvous Limited Email: [email protected] Websites: http://www.learningemall.com & http://www.learningemall.com.hk 122 the ball is hit.

With a limited shot clock, this system attacks the defense and allows your team more time to score. It can be run out of any set and combines the fast break and half court offense into one concept. The triple screen offense relies on the screen-the-screener concept. After demonstrating the offense 5-on-0, Odom introduces a three-man "Quick Shooting" drill. The moves in this drill are the same moves that are present at game time. After showing the end of the flow, Odom backs up to the beginning of the break. He discusses the specific roles of all five players on the initial fast break, including a post trailer. Live 5-on-5 play is used to demonstrate the offense, which allows Odom to stop and teach parts of the offense. In teaching players on the floor, multiple options from this offensive set are shown, adding to its versatility and effectiveness. This all-in-one offense is quick and easy to run and creates good shots from many spots on the floor! Item no.

Life came almost to a standstill: support systems taken for granted failed. How did we become so helpless? Technology originated with the plow and agriculture. Each invention demands its own follow-up: once started, it is hard to stop. This segment ends in Kuwait, where society has leapt from ancient Egypt to the technology of today in 30 years. As they count down from ten to one, viewers learn from situations all elementary school kids will easily recognize. The vignettes illustrate the top confl ict starters and stoppers, including the #1 way to avoid a conflict: if you're wrong — apologize and say you're sorry. Item no.

Burke postulates that such changes occur in response to factors he calls "triggers," some of them seemingly unrelated. These have their own triggering effects, causing change in totally unrelated fields as well.

Standardizing precious metal in coins stimulated trade from Greece to Persia, causing the construction of a huge commercial center and library at Alexandria. This wealth of nautical knowledge aided navigators 14 centuries later. Mariners discovered that the compass’s magnetized needle did not point directly north. Investigations into the nature of magnetism led to the discovery of electricity, radar and to the atomic bomb. Connections DVD No. 2 Running Time: 100 Minutes Volume 3:Distant Voices Telecommunications exist because the Normans wore stirrups at the Battle of Hastings- a simple advance that caused a revolution in the increasingly expensive science of warfare. Europe turned its attention to making money to wage wars. As mine shafts were dug deeper, they became flooded, stimulating scientists like Galileo to investigate vacuums, air pressure and other natural laws to mine deeper silver. This led to the discovery of electricity and magnetism’s relationship and to the development of radio, and deep space telecommunications that may enable contact with galactic civilizations. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Learning Rendezvous Limited Email: [email protected] Websites: http://www.learningemall.com & http://www.learningemall.com.hk 128 Volume 4: Faith in Numbers Each development in the organization of systems (political, economic, mechanical, electronic)influences the next, by logic, by genius, by chance, or by utterly unforeseen events. The transition from the Middle ages to the Renaissance was influenced by the rise of commercialism, a sudden change in climate, famine and the Black Death, which set the stage for the invention of the printing press. Connections DVD No. 3 Running Time: 100 Minutes Volume 5:The Wheel of Fortune The power to see into the future with computers originally rested with priest-astronomers who knew the proper times to plant and harvest. The constellations influenced life spectacularly, particularly when the ailing Caliph of Baghad was cured by an astrologer using Greek lore. His ancient medical secrets were translated and spread throughout Europe, ushering in an era of scientific inquiry. The need for more precise measuring devices in navigation gave rise to the pendulum clock, the telescope, forged steel and interchangeable machine parts-the basis of modern industrial system. Volume 6:Thunder in the Skies A dramatically colder climate gripped Europe during the 13th century profoundly affecting the course of history for the next seven centuries. The changes in energy usage transformed architecture and forced the creation of new power sources. The coming of the Industrial Revolution, spurred on by advances in the steam engine, scarred England indelibly: but a moment in history later, gasoline-powered engines opened the way to the heavens. Connections DVD No. 4 Volume 7:The Long Chain Often, materials discovered by accident alter the course of the world. In the 1600s Dutch commercial freighters controlled Atlantic trade routes. Competing British lines induced America to produce pitch to protect hulls of their royal vessels. This arrangement lasted until 1776, after which a Scottish inventor tried to produce pitch from coal tar. By the time he succeeded the navy was using copper instead. Subsequent experiments with coal tar yielded gaslight lamps, waterproofed garments, a brilliant mauve dye that established the German chemical industry and nylon, the first of the miracle plastics. Volume 8:Eat, Drink and Be Merry When Napoleon marched huge forces across Europe, he needed an efficient way to store provisions. A Frenchman preserved sterilized food in empty champagne bottles, an idea modified by the British, who tried tin cans. Still, canned foods sometimes spoiled, which led to experiments with refrigeration. Later, it was discovered that gases may be stored at very low temperatures in a thermos flask, a device handy for picnics, for polar explorers and for, storing large quantities of liquid oxygen and hydrogen. When lit by a spark these gases can send rockets into space. Connections DVD No. 5 Running Time: 100 Minutes Volume 9:Countdown What happens when you combine a carbon arc light, a billiard ball coating, a spoked wheel and consecutive images? Motion pictures! Complex and sometimes incredible events led to Thomas Edison’s remarkable invention; the beginnings of limelight on a Irish mountain; George Eastman’s production of celluloid from the slightly explosive gun cotton; the “magic lantern” of an Austrian ballistics teacher. Then Eadweard Muybridge settled a bet in 1872 by photographs; does a horse raise all four feet when galloping? (Yes.) Today moving pictures, together with television, are enormously powerful mass media. Have we become trapped by our own technology? Volume 10:Yesterday, Tomorrow and You “Why did we do it this way?” Essential moments from the previous programs are reviewed to illustrate the common factors that make for change. Will they go on operating to affect our futures? And if so, can we recognize them? The second half looks at the extent to which we have become increasingly incapable of understanding how change occurs in our complex world and at why we are in such a predicament. Finally, there is a look ahead to the need for radical change in the availability and use of information in the future, if we are to remain in control of our destinies.

With virtually no government or public outcry, the multi-billion dollar youth marketing industry has been able to use the latest advances in psychology, anthropology, and neuroscience to transform American children into one of the most powerful and profitable consumer demographics in the world. American kids now influence an estimated $700 billion in annual spending, targeted virtually from birth with a relentless bombardment of sophisticated commercial appeals designed to sell everything from Hollywood merchandise and junk foods to iPods, cell phones, the family car and vacations. The result is that childhood itself has been commercialized. Drawing on the insights of experts, industry insiders, and children themselves, Consuming Kids traces the evolution and impact of this disturbing and unprecedented phenomenon, exposing the youth marketing industry's controversial tactics and exploring the effect of hyper-consumerism on the actual lived experience of children.

Rudd demonstrates the inside game that has helped his team reach the last three Maryland State Championships. This offense starts in a 2-1-2 set with a post in the high post area. First option is the scissors cut off the high post. The high post cuts to the ball side elbow in option two. Option three is ball reversal through the post. Next, a back screen cut off a double screen releases the cutter for a lay up. An elbow flash is the next option in the middle of the floor for one-on-one opportunities. Ball reversal will create more scoring options and the offense starts over. The iso feature adds another scoring option to the inside game. Against pressure, the circle entry will allow the offense to begin normally. Rudd teaches as he takes players through this offense, stopping them to make adjustments. Benefits of this offense are getting the ball inside and running clock late in the game to preserve a lead. Item no.

Format CORE CHEMISTRY Future problems of energy, food, medicines and materials are the problems of chemistry. No science is more at the core of every technology that supports the seven billion people living on the planet today than chemistry. Chemistry is at the base of the foods, medicines, fuels and materials that are the hallmarks of modern life. Core Chemistry presents how each branch of chemistry - physical chemistry, organic chemistry and biochemistry - evolved from a clear understanding of the principles and laws of chemical interactions. Chapters: 2 Million B.C. to 1661 - Ancient Chemistry - Chemistry is both science and art. The art began with the first humans and the discovery of fire. It proceeded through metallurgy. Though discovered probably through accident, the discovery of bronze, iron, glass and gunpowder transformed all civilizations they touched. But before civilizations could progress any further toward modern societies they had to understand the atomic nature of matter. This started with Robert Boyle and his denunciation of the medieval alchemist. 1800 - Electrolysis Reveals Water is not Elemental- Since the Greeks, alchemists had held that matter was made up of four elements - fire, earth, air and water. But a series of brilliant experiments at the end of the 18th century showed that none of these were elemental. Of particular interest was the separation of water into hydrogen and oxygen gases. 1808 - Atomic Theory of Matter is Announced The conceptual breakthrough that chemists were looking for was provided by John Dalton when he proposed that matter was made up of tiny elements that he called atoms. 1828 - Organic Chemistry - When it was demonstrated that a special life force, known as 'the vital life force,' was not part of organic material, it opened the door for a whole new branch of chemistry - organic chemistry. This chapter defines organic chemistry and shows how the discovery of polymers, which led to the world of plastics, and bioengineering. 1869 - The First Periodic Table - The greatest discovery in all of chemistry was Mendeleev's period table of the elements. This chapter shows in clear detail how the over 100 elements are arranged into predictable groups which for the basis of all chemical interactions.

Throughout history the rise and fall of civilizations has been propelled by the abundance and scarcity of valued resources. At no time has this been truer than in the 21st century. Whether it is the search for oil or silicon to make microchips or uranium to run power plants, the search is directed by geologists. In Core Geology, the building blocks of this most contemporary science are laid out in a logical order, including the meaning of the fossil record. Chapters: 1669 - The Geological Laws - With brilliant reasoning, 17th century Danish naturalist Nicolas Steno deduced the three fundamental laws of geology that would become the basis for this science to the present day. 1812 - Properties of Minerals - The identifying properties of minerals are laid out including Mohs hardness scale. 1830 - Geology Occurs by Natural Processes - By the middle of the 19th century, it was understood geologists that forces that shaped the earth are the same ones occurring today. 1972 - Ancient Life and the Fossil Record How fossils are formed, their age and how the fossil record sheds light on evolution is presented in this chapter.

Coach Seaman presents three cornerstones that serve as constant reminders for his coaching staff; coverage, development and execution. Coverage includes preparing and drilling for all parts of the game. Fundamentals on offense and defense are essential for planning practice each day early in the season. Stick work, dodging and picks are the offensive elements. Positioning, footwork, checks, sliding and double teams are key defensive skills. Offensive and defensive situations are team oriented game dynamics that must also be part of practices. The coaching staff also monitors specific situations such as facing off, clearing, riding and substitutions. Nine personnel considerations are an additional factor to decide as coaches. Strength and conditioning is a 12-month process and makes players faster, stronger and more successful on the field. Coach Seaman takes to the field with his team to illustrate offensive and defensive drills at game speed. Item no.

This alignment provides solid, underneath coverage that allows a good change to quarters and forces the opponent's QB to throw in a tight window. Play diagrams shown help to illustrate each play and scheme in detail and by adding game and practice footage, Cook's teaching points and strategy are very easy to understand. The fundamental skills of leverage and the slide technique are outlined by Cooks. 'Footwork and jam' are part of the slide technique, which focuses on sliding the near foot in the direction of the release and replacing the far foot. The stutter is used when the WR drops his weight or sinks his hips to break. Other areas covered are the off-man technique and the catch technique. This DVD presents a very detailed look at correlating the 2-seam with the 4-3 defense. Item no.

Chan Kim, Renee Mauborgne In July 2001, Australia's Casella Winery introduced Yellow Tail into the 'red ocean' of the highly competitive U.S. wine market. Small and unknown, they expected to sell 25,000 cases in their first year: in fact, they sold nine times that amount. Yellow Tail rapidly became the number one imported wine and the fastest growing brand in the history of the U.S. and Australian wine industries. It is the overall best selling 750ml red wine, outstripping California, French, and Italian brands. And by the end of 2005, Yellow Tail's annual sales were tracking at 25 million cases. This visual program case is presented in two parts. Part A examines the competitive environment of the U.S. wine industry in 2001 prior to Yellow Tail's launch. We find that the industry is overcrowded, highly competitive, and increasingly squeezed at the distribution and retail stages of the supply chain. In short, a 'red ocean.' Part B explores, through interviews with the principal players behind the launch of Yellow Tail, the development and execution of Casella's blue ocean strategic move. Item no.

Using players in a clinic setting the Green and Blue Press takes shape starting with the 4-man on the ball backed by the 2-man and 3-man at the free throw line. The third line of defense is the point guard near half court with the 5-man back to protect the basket. Once the ball comes in it is trapped and the other defenders adjust. This immediately disrupts the flow of the game for the opponent. The key to the Blue is to trap the ball in an area 10 feet on each side of the half court line. Altman teaches his players to trap immediately when the ball crosses half court. Both presses are used during games based on the kind of tempo and pressure desired. Item no.

What will happen to the revolution after Castro? And what effect will this have on the Cuban ‘exile’ community in Miami?

Kinesiology In the initial phase of training for any athlete, entry-level drills should focus on; static and dynamic balance, foot speed and coordination, force reduction, first step quickness, base agility, linear speed mechanics, and base conditioning. Likewise Base Movement Training is the foundation of Coach Norman's Movement Progression Training philosophy. Most athletes, coaches, and trainers overlook this phase of training as they fail to develop the fundamental abilities of body control and "oneness" in their athletes. It is this phase of training that prepares the athlete for the more intense and advanced training routines required to optimize performance, and without it, athletes will either limit their success and/or sustain unwarranted injuries. Coach Norman utilizes a structured approach to teach a proven system of training methodology for overall athletic development. In addition to a detailed explanation of Base Stance Mechanics, the viewer will learn numerous drills performed with the agility ladder, low hurdles, plyometric boxes, various cone drills, weighted sleds and much more. Mostly, you will learn how to effectively incorporate a variety of training components safely into your program, with the confidence and knowledge required to initiate the appropriate performance training process with any multi-sport athlete. Although considered entry-level within Norman's system of performance enhancement, the drills in this program are challenging and intense, and greatly improve an athlete's internal awareness and athletic ability.

CUTTING EDGE SPEED AND AND AGILITY: SPEED, POWER, POWER, AGILITY AND REACTION With Todd Norman, M.S. Kinesiology Once an athlete has been effectively progressed through Coach Norman's Base Movement Training regimen, it is now time to turn up the demands and take your training to a whole new level. Coach Norman demonstrates over 150 demanding, intense exercises for advanced development of athletes. The first series of drills are Force Production drills, also known as "plyometrics," which are continuous and repetitive drills designed to stimulate and train fast twitch muscle fibers. There are 13 plyometric drills in the vertical series, and 23 drills in the second series that address lateral, diagonal, horizontal and upper body plyometric training. Resisted Force Production training is also an intense portion of this second series, and Coach Norman describes three key drills he utilizes to train elite level athletes. Training tools include low and high hurdles, medicine balls, weight belts, and bungee cords. Force production with movement is an advanced 18 drill series that combines sprinting and change of direction with explosive movements. The next segment is dedicated to quick feet and change of direction. In part one, 30 challenging drills are demonstrated and coaching points highlighted. Part two is a 26-drill package that pushes athletes physically and mentally to the limit. Cones are used creatively in 25 different agility drills. A comprehensive set of 11 exercises, the reactive agilities, is applicable to many game-like situations. Norman also shares 21 challenging exercises in the area of resisted/assisted agilities that make up the core of his advanced training program. To conclude the DVD, Coach Norman describes his post workout partner stretching routine for enhanced flexibility and effective recovery. Item no.

The first section on Core Stability includes more than 15 exercises designed to strengthen the muscles that support and stabilize the spine. The Dying Bug Progression, Stability Ball Supine Resistance, and Transverse Cable Rotation are a few examples of stability exercises utilized by Norman to train elite level athletes. The next series includes over 25 exercises for Core Strengthening, which is broken down into sagital, rotary, and multi-planar movements.

Kinesiology Athletes must prepare effectively before training and competition to prevent injury and maximize performance. Todd Norman opens his presentation with three series of effective warm-up routines that include; basic movement drills, inclined treadmill activities, and a 3-minute jump rope routine. Coach Norman then goes on to demonstrate how dynamic stretching prior to training actively prepares the body by maintaining core temperature and increased blood flow to the muscles and joints. He presents more than 15 dynamic exercises that develop mobility, balance, body control, and enhanced range of motion. The next step in the program is the movement preparation series, where Coach Norman presents two routines that effectively prepare the athlete to accelerate and decelerate with precision and body control. These drills combine many basic movements such as sprinting, stopping, shuffling and turning to activate the physical demands and mental focus required for the ensuing training and/or competition.

Its ecological impact aside, the Nile Perch became highly prized for its tender, plump fillets, hardly meeting the demand at elegant 4-star European restaurants. Huge, empty foreign cargo planes land to export the lake's gourmet bounty, taking out 55 tons of processed fish daily. In their wake, they leave starving villagers to scrounge a meal out of the discarded fish heads and rotting carcasses. With massive epidemics, raging civil wars, crime, homelessness, and drug-addicted children, the question becomes: what do the reportedly "empty" planes deliver to this destitute community? The answer is as shocking as it is devastating, and Darwin's Nightmare becomes a nightmare for all mankind. Item no.

Use this program to eliminate the confusion so young adults understand exactly what these things are—and the attitudes and biases that typically accompany them—before anyone gets hurt. The program firmly reinforces the concepts that rape has its roots in hate crime; date rape is just as wrong as rape by a stranger; a victim is never “asking for it,” no matter how the person dresses; and no one ever “deserves it.” The program also underscores the rules of the dating game: a date is not an invitation for sex; No means No; and the inability to give consent doesn’t mean Yes. Interviews with rape survivors and mental health professionals shed additional light on the trauma caused by rape, the process of post-rape emotional recovery, and the importance of post-rape support by family and friends. Date rape drugs are given special attention, and tips on safer dating are provided. Item no.

In 1910, a Chicago steel worker (Richard Gere) accidentally kills his supervisor and flees to the Texas panhandle with his girlfriend (Brooke Adams) and little sister (Linda Manz) to work harvesting wheat in the fields of a stoic farmer (Sam Shepard).

The main benefit of the scramble is that it forces the opponent out of their regular man-to-man offense. A prerequisite for employing the scramble defense is a solid, pressure man-to-man attack. Everything comes as a result of players understanding basic man-to-man pressure. Coach Smith begins with the 30 series - the run and jump attack that UNC has used successfully for decades. This is particularly effective after timeouts when the surprise factor is in the defense's favor. The 40 series is ignited after the first pass to either side of the floor. All players rotate to different positions and jam passing lanes for the errant pass. Both the 30 and 40 series can also be used all over the floor. Out-of-bounds situations, free throw situations, and defending the fast break are all covered by Smith. More than 50 vintage UNC game clips put the 30 and 40 series in action. Also, Smith takes to the floor in a classic, one-of-a-kind, on-the-floor clinic to demonstrate both defensive systems. The scramble defense has become a defensive standard in basketball across the globe, and now Coach Smith breaks down this time honored trapping defense step-by-step, which will allow you to easily implement it into your program!

Fundamentally, the point zone is man-to-man pressure on the ball with a four-man zone in support. Disguising the defense is possible against baseline out-of-bounds plays and is a benefit of the point zone. Smith diagrams the two-man front to cover vulnerable areas along the baseline, the two-man trap against out-of-bounds plays and the 1-3-1 set. Rebounding coverage for guards is also thoroughly presented. Smith takes you through situational defensive coverages that come from years of experience with this zone. This segment will enhance your ability to adapt the zone to your team. This DVD is an incredible blend of today and yesterday and includes over 50 vintage game clips that highlight the great UNC teams and players through the years, as well as a classic, one-of-a-kind, on-the-floor clinic presentation by Coach Smith.

Followers believe that by studying Kabbalah, one has the potential to understand God, the soul, the structure of the universe, the afterlife, and even the meaning of human existence. DECODING THE PASTR turns its lens on this inscrutable strain of Jewish mysticism, which has been inspiring practitioners for centuries yet has lately become something of a fad. How do these ancient teachings mesh with modern life? What secrets lie at the heart of its intricate textual manipulations? Is it an intellectual and spiritual exercise, or does it truly hold the meaning of existence? When and how did Kabbalah emerge? How much influence does it have over mainstream Jewish faith? Expand your understanding of this great and complex philosophy as you uncover the SECRETS OF KABBALAH. Item no.

On August 1, 1798, a mighty French fleet under the command of Napoleon Bonaparte was anchored in Aboukir Bay, Egypt when they were set upon by an outnumbered British fleet commanded by the legendary Admiral Horatio Nelson. During the battle, the French flagship, L'Orient, one of the most powerful warships in the world, suddenly exploded and sank, taking an estimated $20 million in gold and silver to the bottom. But this story has long troubled some historians: How did the mighty battleship sink so quickly that night, and what happened to the lost fortune in gold and silver? The DEEP SEA DETECTIVES plunge into Aboukir Bay and discover that history's telling of the L'Orient's demise is wrong. Did Admiral Nelson "spin" the events of that day to serve his own ends? Item no.

The Double Wing Offense, which Coach Bruich feels is a 'big play' offense, includes a center, two guards, two tackles and two tight ends toe to toe at the line of scrimmage. Seven main plays evolve from this offense: fullback dive, fullback trap, power pitch, buck sweep, pitch play, reverse and the pass. The goal of the defense is to make the offense drive the football and eliminate big plays. Principles for the line, ends, linebackers and secondary are a big part of the overall philosophy of this defense. From a 5-2 set, Bruich diagrams the roles of each position. Also, each of these four groups is broken down according to rules and teaching points. Game footage illustrates the effectiveness of this defensive system against the Double Wing. A big part of the Double Wing is the passing attack and Bruich diagrams coverage against the pass, including mixing up coverage. Item no.

To determine number advantage, the opposing coach will draw a line down the middle of the field and attack the side of the field with the least amount of defenders. Johnston illustrates his points by using game footage. Using the white board, he shows how an opponent will determine which defender is under duel responsibility. A Spread coach who wants to run will not move away from their base run attack. The FB trap, sweep, HB Power, and Belly/Iso plays are good options in the Spread run attack - and Johnston details keys to stopping them all. Defending the pass will depend on the depth of your corners and the lateral position of your free safety. To conclude, Johnston shares his five key principles to defending the Spread Shot Wing.

Good communication between the six defensemen and the goalie are required to create strong team defense. The goalie's only goal is to watch the ball and communicate to the on ball defender. The off ball defenders determine the slides. The 'hot player' designates himself as 'hot' and asks his teammates to fill and second slide. Other verbal calls dictate the slide patterns: crease/crease, crease/adjacent, adjacent/adjacent, and cross crease. Slide scheme development starts with the 1 v 1 decision-making drill and progresses to a full catalog of drills that include 2 v 1, 2 v 2 with an outlet, etc. On the field, Tiffany begins with on ball play. Decision-making is the key part of team scheme development. The first slide, second slide, third slide and recovery are all demonstrated in drills on the field.

Good linebackers recognize the run, identify the blocker and sting him, shed and go to the ball. Drill work for linebackers is a big part of this DVD. He begins with drills that should be run every day in practice. In teaching man-to-man coverage, Valesente stresses speed, aggressively pursuing angles and building a wall. Four keys to coaching linebackers include formation, distribution, responsibility and technique. Distribution comes down to flare, flow and flood.

He begins with a discussion on personnel. A decision must be made between the best defenders and a specialty unit. Players must be intelligent and have a good stick. Man down defense relies on anticipation of skip lanes and the ability to knock down passes and shots. Tiffany has created a catalog of drills that can help identify and improve the personnel for man down defense. The 2 v 1 knock down drill works on the drop step technique and the 4 v 2 drill puts two defenders in an urgent situation and requires communication and changing positions. The 5 v 3 drill addresses the skip lanes. A series of drills get progressively more challenging for advanced players. A drill to develop offense and man down defensive technique is the 3v2/4v3/5v4 drill. A section on terminology is important to define all-important verbal calls in lacrosse. Man down schemes used against the 3-3 offense include the center string, the diamond, 4v3 up top and 3v2 up top. Defending the 1-3-2 offensive, Tiffany diagrams on the white board using both 5 man and 4 man schemes. He then takes to the field to demonstrate many of the drills and schemes.

What does a website designer do? How do you design a website that works? Mark Shufflebottom, lecturer in interactive media design at Bournemouth University and Catherine Tidnam, web manager of the Food & Drink Federation, give their views. THE EARLY DAYS: The early days of website design were anarchic - with garish designs, numerous sites dedicated to people's cats (among other things), and problems of technology compatibility. Then standards were established and - a crucial step -- design and content were separated by means of CSS and XHTML files. "THE GOLDEN RULES": PLAN IT OUT But how do you set about designing a good website? What are the "golden rules"? The first is plan it out: you work out a list of everything on your site -- the site map. Next you work on the graphics - how it's going to look. REMEMBER THE AUDIENCE: Critical to everything the website designer does is the audience the site's aimed at. What might work for a young audience, might seem too jokey for an older audience. Sometimes the best design is the one you don't even notice... TEST IT OUT: It's vital to try out the website - make sure it works before you launch it. But testing is an ongoing thing, too - otherwise you run the risk of complacency. NAVIGATION: Buttons and links help us navigate around a website - but it must be obvious what lies behind the button or link. Standard controls are helpful, too. FONTS AND PICTURES: Typography and the choice of fonts you can use are more limited on the web. And it's important not to overload your site with images. THE HOME PAGE: Experts say the website has only two seconds to catch its visitor - so your home page must communicate instantly, directly. WEBSITES IN ACTION: But how well designed are the famous-name websites? Amazon, Nike, eBay and Transport for London are assessed and their strengths and weaknesses analysed. THE WEB 2.0 REVOLUTION: Web 2.0 is the next generation of websites. The technology hasn't really changed but now the emphasis on sharing - sharing pictures, video, experience. AND THE FUTURE? The broadband revolution means more convergence of radio, television, news and the web. Rss -really simple syndication -- feeds have made possible "citizen journalism".

Visitors to this UNESCO World Heritage site are typically shocked by the extreme poverty there, and the Buddhist tradition of alms-giving motivates them to donate money. As a result, Bodh Gaya has developed a sophisticated charity "industry" which caters to and depends on tourists and tourism. This thought-provoking documentary explores the complex, interconnected effects of tourism, globalization, culture, philanthropy, and religion in Bodh Gaya. Destination: Tourism provides a deeply perceptive and incisive ethnographic case study as well as a poignant illustration of the overwhelming challenges facing many of the world's poor as they struggle to eke out a living in a seasonal economy almost completely dependent on foreign tourists. As the film illuminates, the tourism economy's volatile nature provides only seasonal and temporary work for local residents: time in Bodh Gaya is measured by the coming and going of strangers. For four winter months there are tourists, and therefore work. The rest of the year is marked by desperate unemployment. In addition, dozens of foreign-owned and foreign-operated monasteries function like DVD (Color) 20 minutes 2007 USD 215.00 all-inclusive resorts, monopolizing tourism services. The monasteries also inflate real-estate values: when farmlands become monasteries, farmers must find a new livelihood. Survival has become a challenge for Bodh Gaya's residents. Format Duration Copyright Price In the search for sustainable employment, entrepreneurial locals have established hundreds of charity schools for destitute children. These village schools are entirely funded by tourist donations and have become a not-to-be-missed point on the Bodh Gaya tourist itinerary.

DEVELOPING 2 GAP LINEMAN FOR THE 33-4 DEFENSE Destination: Tourism will generate thought and discussion in any course dealing with international development and globalization, as well as a variety of courses in cultural anthropology, Asian and Indian studies, tourist studies, and religious studies. Reviews "This provocative film reveals the complexities of 'religious tourism,' the ethical dilemmas of charity and philanthropy, and the heartbreaking realities of seasonal livelihoods in poor countries. The film narrates and analyzes these issues but does so with a smart touch. It does not preach to or patronize its audience. It asks compelling questions, highlights unusual encounters, and stimulates discussion through its self-reflexivity. I have shown the film in my large undergraduate class on international development and the students have found it to be moving and fascinating. They have learned as much from this film as from the treatises on international development and globalization they have read." -Ananya Roy, Assoc. Dean, International and Area Studies, and Assoc. Prof. of City and Regional Planning, University of California at Berkeley "A well-crafted work, suitable for a variety of disciplines. It will stimulate discussion and debate in courses encompassing world religions, tourism, and globalization." -- Thor Anderson, Visual Anthropologist and Lecturer, Dept. of Anthropology, San Francisco State University "A great teaching tool!

Fanoga begins with lining up and stance for the D linemen. The ends are backed off the ball about 16 inches and use inside hand. The nose can crowd the ball or back off and has the green light. Stance starts with a wide base, wider than the shoulders and a flat back. The ends take care of the A, B, and the C gap. The nose is responsible for the two A gaps. Fanoga likes the uniqueness of this defense and teaches players on a sweep to read and play right down the line of scrimmage. The technique is lateral steps down the line, which he calls "pound his feet." Every thing the offense does, the defense reacts to it. The nose is in charge of cut backs in this scheme. In the two-gap defense, players are taught the zone, scoop, base, down and double team blocks. Game footage drives home the technique that Fanoga covers on the white board. Footage of a dozen drills for offense linemen conclude this excellent presentation. Item no.
