But a sea change is now occurring in the way scientists think about it. The latest research ties this kind of radiation to lowered sperm counts, an increased risk of Alzheimer's, and even cancer. Devra Davis tells the story of the dangers that the cell phone industry is knowingly exposing us-and our children-to in the pursuit of profit. More than five billion cell phones are currently in use, and that number increases every day. By Dr. In this Dean's Lecture, epidemiologist and electromagnetic radiation expert, Dr Devra Davis, will outline the evolution of the mobile phone and smartphone, and provide a background to the current 19 year old radiation safety standards (SAR), policy developments and international legislation.

Sukeban Deka: Dirty Mary « Sketches of Cinema Sukeban deka: daati Marii (Japan, 1974) Yasuharu Hasebe was quite a unique director for having pioneered two very different type of genres. Following his success in the Nikkatsu Action genre Hasebe directed the film that set the standard for all modern girl gang movies: Stray Cat Rock: Girl Boss (1970). Sukeban Deka: Dirty Mary, which was not related to Shinji Wada’s Sukeban Deka manga that rocked the world two years later, was the last film Hasebe made for Nikkatsu before becoming the leading director in violent pink. Dirty Mary, to some extent at least, could indeed pass as one of the numerous Dirty Harry sequels. Unfortunately what was sacrificed in terms of sex isn’t redeemed on the field of action and violence either. Dirty Mary’s most interesting offering is its slight feminism. 1970’s genre cinema is full of fearless katana and karate heroines, but Mary stands out as slightly more realistic protagonist.

oakland Documentary Heaven | Watch Free Documentaries Online MEIKO KAJII I have only actually seen the diminutive but powerful Meiko Kaji in a couple films but am in the process of correcting that. I saw her in three of the four Female Scorpion films she starred in and the second of the Lady Snowblood movies that served as a (not "the") inspiration for the Quentin Taratino Kill Bill films. She is my favorite of the Pinky Violence Big Four (Meiko Kaji, Ike Reiko, Oshida Reiko and Sugimoto Riki) but maybe only because I have seen her in more films than the others. One such judgment I and fans look up to was her decision to leave Nikkatsu studios in about 1971 when the company began to move in the direction of its softcore Pinku/Roman Porno films for which it is often most remembered for. Like many Japanese actors and actresses her acting career paralleled a successful singing career.

Her Shadow A short film that follows a young girl who is sent to live with her estranged Aunt due to her father's gambling addiction. Her Shadow follows 17 year old Maura as she is forced to live with her estranged Aunt after her father is sent to prison for embezzlement. She enters the household with negative preconceived notions, which quickly dissipate after she uncovers the truth behind her family's estrangement. As film students in our final academic year, we wanted to create a film that would challenge us and inspire us to create something incredible. We decided to tell a story that deals with family and the complicated relationships that come with it. After several months of blood, sweat, smiles, stole wallets, broken windows and tears, we have been able to self-fund the film through pre-production, production and post production. Each festival averages at around $30-$50 per submission with only a 1 in 20 chance of being accepted and we want to give Her Shadow as big of a chance as we can!
