The Long Play

A Mess of Bad Puppies From The Teacher’s Funeral, by Richard Peck It was close and airless in the church before the female mourners got their cardboard fans going. Wasps droned in the window wells as people shuffled in, filling the pews. Beneath a spray of entirely white glads, the lid on the pine coffin stood open before us. It was without question Miss Myrt Arbuckle laid out within. She had the longest nose in North America. It stood up against the yawning lid, shiny and sharp with a flaring nostril. She had a snout on her long enough to drink water down a crawdad hole. […] Doc Wilkinson was one of the pallbearers. As the saying goes, doctors bury their mistakes, and he may have been here to see it done. Doc rolled pills and busted boils…

For long positions, we enter a buy a tick above the high of the pin bar. 2. If the next bar to the pin bar doesn’t trigger the trade, we abandon the setup, because, may times, a break in momentum can lead to a consolidation or a reversal. Hence, we want to enter only when the momentum reasserts itself. 3. The initial stop loss for the trade is just below the low of the pin bar. 4. As the markets continue in our desired direction, we keep trailing the stop loss higher, just below the low of the…

The Jungle Book has long been a Disney animated classic, but in 2016 the film directed by Jon Favreau changed when the classic came to life using the advanced style of animation we have developed over the years. Using amazing camera angles, special effects, and sound it really came together to give the viewer a feel of being in the film with the young main character Mowgli (Neel Sethi). Man is the most dangerous species, greediness kills and more harm will come upon nature for as long as we want…

There have been many different versions of William Shakespeare’s play, Hamlet. Recreations range from plays to movies, and each one adds its own level of darkness. One recreation is the 2000 version of Hamlet starring Blair Brown, Roscoe Lee Browne, Campbell Scott, Lisa Gay Hamilton, and Jamey Sheridan, and directed by Campbell Scott and Eric Simonson. This version of Hamlet that we watched in class gives its own twist and darkness that the story needs. The opening shot of the movie is a close…

to stop his brother despite his efforts. This was important for us to see because this was the moment that Dany realized that his brother is not the person he had idolised and this forever shaped the course of his life. In another scene Tony’s directorship was truly remarkable as he haired Edward Norton for the part as Derek. Edward’s performance truly shines through in this scene is when he is dragging the black man who was wounded to the kerb side. Edward’s walk to the man was purposeful…

Objectives Determining the age at death of a skeleton can be complicated and possibly difficult dependant on state of preservation, bones present, or archaeological context. By using measurements of the present long bones and the data that correlates the fusion times of the distal and proximal epiphyseal unions, an age at time of death can be narrowed down to a less broad range. While this measurement method is not completely accurate, dentition ageing techniques and cross referencing of the…

If you have relatively healthy and smooth hair, application is no longer a problem for you. But what happens if you have thick and coarse hair? Some hair color companies even say that if you have long, thick hair you might need 2 boxes of hair dye. The key is to study your hair type and to find a method that works for you. Some professionals…
