- Use of Montage in the Movie, Night of the Hunter Ebert said it best when he describes the characters of Night of the Hunter as Norman Rockwell archetypes. Taking place in an unassuming river town presumably during the Great Depression, the plot unravels around $10,000, stolen during a poorly planned bank robbery. No thought need be heeded on the heist, however, seeing as it was not important enough to waste film on. The money serves only to set up the dominoes that will be knocked down rather linearly in this predictable storyline....   [tags: Movie Film Essays]

Automobile Antenna is an electrical component which is designed to be mounted on the vehicle refers to receive and transfer information. Typically an antenna consists of an arrangement of metallic conductors (elements), electrically connected (often through a transmission line) to the receiver or transmitter. An oscillating current of electrons forced through the antenna by a transmitter will create an oscillating magnetic field around the antenna elements, while the charge of the electrons also creates an oscillating electric field along the elements. These time-varying fields radiate away from the antenna into space as a moving transverse electromagnetic field wave. Conversely, during reception, the oscillating electric and magnetic fields of an incoming radio wave exert force on the electrons in the antenna elements, causing them to move back and forth, creating oscillating currents in the antenna.

Ever since the Purple Onion tried to re-establish itself as a comedy destination some seven years ago, weekly series have come and gone, and the place has mostly been a spot for fledgling local comics to find stage time. A good thing, to be sure.

The historic laugh lounge's latest stab at renaissance is its new weekly Comedy & Cocktails series, a free show featuring a long list of comics of varying experience levels. We'll assume that means short sets for all involved, save the headliner. Like speed dating, but with comedians.

The series will run every Thursday, beginning tonight with headliner Kevin Camia, who has been making the rounds in local comedy clubs for years, and is working his way toward mid-career mode.

A quick study of the some of tonight's performers reveals San Fran is still a hotbed for side-splitters and deranged yarn spinners:

PM welcomes Tasmania's education budget

Prime Minister Julia Gillard says more needs to be done to ensure Tasmania becomes the second state to sign up to federal Labor's school funding reforms.

Tasmanian Premier Lara Giddings, who is also the state's treasurer, handed down her third budget on Thursday, earmarking $83 million for education over four years, with the state expected to sign up to the Gonski school reforms.

Ms Gillard on Friday told reporters it was a positive step.

"The premier of Tasmania has said that provision's been made available in the budget," she said.

"That's a good thing, and we'll keep working with Tasmania on our school improvement plans."

So far only NSW has signed up to the federal government's two-for-one school funding offer.

Opposition education spokesman Christopher Pyne this week warned a coalition government would wind back the national plan unless there was "overwhelming agreement" from the other states and territories.

Lifting age limit won't work: Greens

Raising the legal age of alcohol consumption will drive binge drinking underground and punish responsible drinkers, NSW Greens MP John Kaye says.

Mr Kaye's comments come after the president-elect of the Royal Australasian College of Physicians (RACP), Professor Nicholas Talley, said he thought the legal drinking age should be raised to 20.

"Prohibition has never worked and least of all with young people," Dr Kaye said in a statement.

"Putting it outside the law will only encourage excessive consumption, abuse and contact with organised crime."

What can be done to address binge drinking? Have your say below.

He said real action on the harm caused by alcohol requires cultural change.

Prof Talley, who is set to assume the presidency of the RACP in May, told Fairfax that he accepted his views wouldn't be politically palatable or likely to gain widespread community support.

He applauded the state government's tough new laws aimed at curbing alcohol-related violence but did not think they would be sufficient.

"We need a suite of steps to change the culture," Prof Talley said.

Dr Kaye said the NSW government could change drinking behaviour without raising the drinking age to 20.

"Governments have a big say over culture through their ability to regulate advertising, promotions and discounting," he said.

"The medical consequences of excessive drinking in all age groups is a great concern and deserves public consideration but age-selective prohibition will not minimise the harm," Dr Kaye said.

NSW pedophile sentence 'inadequate': DPP

Confessed pedophile Maurie Van Ryn will have to wait to see if his seven-year jail sentence for crimes against children is upheld or even increased.

The former Bega Cheese boss is facing the prospect of even more time in jail for his crimes against children after the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) declared seven years to be "manifestly inadequate".

The NSW Court of Criminal Appeal (CCA) is re-examining the jail term handed to Van Ryn in September for abusing nine boys and girls between 2003 and 2014.

Van Ryn's lawyer Stephen Odgers SC told the court on Wednesday that his client had been a danger to the community for most of his life but that didn't mean the sentence was inadequate.

He said the 59-year-old had been taking chemical castration medication "religiously" since 2014.

The court heard this made Van Ryn's rehabilitation prospects strong, and allowed sentencing judge Clive Jeffreys to give the principle of deterrence less weight in sentencing.

"I'm not asking for sympathy for him, but he's got a condition. He's obviously not choosing to be a pedophile," Mr Odgers said.

Child migrants slam UK for 'deportation'

Former child migrants have told a British inquiry they will never forgive England for "deporting" them to Australia to be routinely bashed and sexually abused in boys' homes.

Giving evidence to the child sex abuse inquiry sitting in London on Tuesday, the men aged in their late 60s to 80s recalled the abuse they suffered in the 1950s and early 1960s.

Under the child migration schemes of the time, English children who were put into care by struggling parents, including single mothers, were often sent to church-run homes in Australia.

The Australian government encouraged such migration to boost its post-war population with "good, British stock".

On Tuesday, an abuse survivor only known as A19 to protect his identity, said by video-link from Sydney that the UK was "the only country I know that deports their children in the Western world".

"Fancy being kicked out of your country ... how cruel is that?"

Another survivor known as A13 said in a statement read to the inquiry that he had been sent into the care of "child bashers and perverts".

The man, who now lives in Tasmania, said that far from being given an opportunity in "a land of oranges and sunshine" the abuse he suffered meant he became "a damaged and isolated man".

He had been an offshore lighthouse keeper for 16 years, choosing "a solitary life that matched who I was inside".

Only after he traced his mother decades later did he start to feel "like somebody with a history".

A13 described how he was regularly caned and strapped at the Christian Brothers' farm school at Tardun in WA.

He was also routinely raped by a brother but dared not complain for fear of a flogging.

Edward Delaney of Melbourne told the inquiry he was "kidnapped" out of the UK and sent to Australia aged five without his mother's permission.

He said he was routinely beaten at the Christian Brothers' farm school at Bindoon in WA and regularly raped by Brother Parker in his room when he was 13 and 14.

Mr Delaney said he suffered broken fingers when strapped by the "vicious" Brother Doyle who used a leather strap with a hacksaw blade sewn into it.

He said he accidentally fell several metres at the school one day and was left in agonising pain for two weeks before he was taken to hospital to find he had a broken leg and broken arm.

Mr Delaney said he did not feel proud to be British after learning his mother had tried to get him back but was lied to by authorities in the UK.

"The duty of care by the British government was zero ... we were just items that needed to be disposed of."

Another survivor of Christian Brothers' sexual abuse in WA said in a statement he held the British government responsible for a life without his mother who he finally traced in the 1990s.

"I was too late to see her, she had died. I'll never forgive England for that."

Should guns be allowed on college campuses?

Campus safety is a topic that comes up often across the nation. Several states have recently discussed allowing students with licenses to carry guns on college campuses.

In Michigan students can carry except in dorms and classrooms.

In Indiana that is not the case.

"We do see a rise in females coming in more and more each week," said Rebecca Bartol, owner of Femme Fatale gun shop.

She says it is better to be safe rather than sorry.

"You always hope that you never have to protect yourself, but it is always better to have learned how to and know what to do," said Bartol.

Lately she says, more parents have been becoming clients as well, buying firearms for college aged children.

This year Indiana legislators were looking to pass a bill that would allow guns on public college campuses.

The Indiana proposal has been tabled for now, but could likely reemerge.

At IUSB, students have mixed feelings about allowing guns on campuses.

Jazmine Medina says, "I don't like the idea that I live in a world that I have to carry a gun as woman to be present in the public."

Her class mate Danielle Cagle feels differently,

"I think that the more people that had them I think it would deter crime, I think it would deter people, knowing that more people are carrying guns," said Cagle.

The Destructive Species

Coptotermes Spp.

Coptotermes is widely distributed Australia-wide, except for a few isolated high rainfall areas and is the most destructive species targetting timber buildings. Identification on the basis of soldiers can be unreliable - locality, nesting habits, and measurements can assist identification. Their nests may vary from being completely underground, in an old stump or living tree, in sleeper retaining walls, or in domed mounds. Colonies contain a queen, king, soldiers, workers, and reproductives. Soldiers are 3.5 to 6.5mm, have no teeth on their mandibles and pear-shaped yellowish heads which exude a drop of milky fluid from the frontal gland on the top of their head when disturbed.

Coptotermes acinaciformis: does not build mounds, except in its more northern occurrences. They are central site nesters in tree stumps, living trees, under filled-in verandahs where timber has been buried, and in walls. A tree containing a nest may harbour up to a million termites in the single colony. The nest may be located in the root crown of the tree or in the main trunk up to a height of 3 meters where the trunk is hollowed out in the centre and filled with earth-like material "mud-guts" packed above the nest area.

Via underground tunnels or sealed mud leads, buildings within a radius of 50m may be attacked resulting in extensive undetected damage. It is therefore essential that any trees close to buildings be closely monitored for nests. Soil contact is desirable for these termites, but not essential, provided that there is an assured moisture supply and secure habitat. Although their identification can be difficult, they tend to be more aggressive and less easily disturbed than other species. They form large colonies and are much more likely to produce bivouacs.

Coptotermes frenchiWhile the soldiers of this species are smaller (4 to 5.2 mm) than those of Coptotermes acinaciformis, they are found in similar habitats from northern Queensland to South Australia. They are also a central-site nester in the root crown and lower trunk of living trees, and make subterranean tunnels in soil and earthen leads over surfaces. UnlikeCoptotermes acinaciformis, Coptotermes frenchi is very timid and easily disturbed. They form large colonies but rarely produce bivouacs and mudding in their galleries. Coptotermes frenchi tends to be a forest pest attacking living trees and is not as destructive as Coptotermes acinaciformis.

Schedorhinotermes Spp

Schedorhinotermes intermedius: occurs coastally from southern Queensland through to New South Wales. They tend to nest in tree stumps and in the root crown area of living, dead and debilitated trees as well as in timber buried in the ground, under properties, under filled-in verandahs, and in the ground immediately under fireplaces.

This species is typified by two soldier castes: major soldiers with bulbous heads and 5 to 7.5mm and smaller minor soldiers 3 to 5.5mm with narrower heads and more slender mandibles. Both soldier types do not produce the white latex which Coptotermes acinaciformis does.

They are multi-site nesters whose nests may be difficult to locate as they are subterranean. Colonies including a queen, king, soldiers, workers and reproductives may consist of thousands of termites. The minor soldiers appear first in the developing colony, followed by the major soldiers once the nest is well established. Their abundance usually indicates a well-developed and strong colony with increasing potential for damaging timber. This species is second in economic pest status to Coptotermes spp. in most parts of Australia, with their attack taking place under the protection of extensive deposits of fragile "plastering" and excavations are fairly clean with characteristic plaster-like earthen workings separating the termites from the adjacent environment. It is very difficult to evaluate its damage to buildings without a very thorough survey of its activity.

Heterotermes Spp.

Heterotermes feroxis often encountered attacking posts, poles, paling fences, timber decking and flooring of properties wherever weathering and decay are present. Heterotermes ferox is widely distributed throughout Australia, but fortunately does not range far from its small colonies which include a queen, king, soldiers, workers, and reproductives. Soldiers are 3.5 to 7.5mm and have long rectangular heads with no obvious teeth on their prominent and dark mandibles. Both workers and soldiers have slender bodies, move slowly and the soldiers in particular, are not courageous with their peculiar habit of shuffling backwards when confronted.

Although subterranean, Heterotermes ferox does not build mounds, nor does it have extensive gallery systems, but is a multi-nester with very small colonies in the soil, adjacent to stumps, logs on the ground, rotting wood, or even beside the mounds or nests of other species. Heterotermes ferox liberally plasters over its workings, leaving the surface of affected timber with a mottled appearance. Previously, it was thought to be of very little economic significance; however more recent records have shown that it can cause serious damage to sound timber in service.

Nasutitermes Spp.

Nasutitermes spp. are multi-site nesters characterised by soldiers with nasute heads tapering to a long snout. Soldiers are smaller and more fragile than workers. In contrast, workers are arched and more heavily built in the front section. They also have two dark areas on the top of the head. Colonies contain a queen, king, soldiers, workers, and reproductives.

Nasutitermes exitiosusare located in southern Queensland to New South Wales. This is a mound-building species, except in drier areas, where it nests in tree stumps or below ground, often leaving bare earth above it. It is capable of extensively damaging hardwood timber structures specifically attacking wood in the ground and sound wood in buildings. It builds its nests under properties and unless the subfloor area is inspected regularly the colony can go unnoticed until flooring collapses. Wooden bridges, poles and fences are also severely damaged by this species. Their mounds are usually dome shaped, 30 to 75 cm high with a basal diameter of 30-120cm. When the nest is prised up at ground level, there is usually a physogastric queen measuring 25-30mm. Soldiers are generally 3.6 to 4.8mm.

Nasutitermes fumigatusattacks decaying wood in contact with ground. Where decay has occurred to flooring timbers in a property, due to poor ventilation, these termites will damage the wood, making replacements necessary. They will also attack moist and weathered decking on outside verandahs. However, they do not attack sound structural timbers in well ventilated situations. Their colonies are small and soldiers are generally 3.25 to 3.75 mm.

Nasutitermes walkerihas the largest soldiers (5 to 7 mm) and is encountered in coastal bushland from Sydney to Cairns, where it constructs characteristic arboreal nests. Colonies appear in the root crowns of trees where there is decay or fire damage. When the colonies are well established and numbers large, they construct arboreal nests higher up the trees but maintain soil contact with galleries extending down the tree trunk. The outside casting of their nest is soft and friable, easily broken and penetrated. The arboreal part of the nest is often connected to another part of the colony in the root crown area or another subterranean part of the tree. Shelter tubes are dark brown to black and often seen on the outside of the tree trunk. Nests are large and populous. Subterranean tunnels just below surface level radiate from the base of the tree to various food sources. Although damage may be done to fences, poles and wood in the ground, attack of buildings is associated with decaying wood and high moisture.

Microcerotermes Spp.

Microcerotermes turneri: are characterised by soldiers which have long rectangular heads are 4.5-5.5 mm in length. Their nests are usually built on the ground, on the trunks of living or dead trees, or on the top of stumps or fence posts. Arboreal nests of this species are found commonly on ironbark trees, for example, the narrow-leaved red ironbark (Eucalyptus crebra). This termite occupies many habitats and has been found in open and moderately dense hardwood forests, grassland, rainforests and vegetated coastal lowlands. The species is very common throughout coastal Queensland South of Cairns and inland to the Carnarvon Range where it attacks hardwood timber in ground contact, such as fence posts.
