Cinema, the primary vehicle for storytelling in the twentieth century, is being reconfigured by new media in the twenty-first. Terms such as "worldbuilding," "virtual reality," and "transmedia" introduce new methods for constructing a screenplay and experiencing and sharing a story. Similarly, 3D cinematography, hypercinema, and visual effects require different modes for composing an image, and virtual technology, motion capture, and previsualization completely rearrange the traditional fl...

When the brain suffers an injury, the effects can be delayed and unpredictable. Cerebrospinal fluid can slowly build up, causing dangerously high levels of intracranial pressure (ICP), and the brain tissue can be displaced into adjacent compartments, resulting in cerebral herniation syndrome (CHS). Within the burgeoning field of neurocritical care, experts are just beginning to understand the nuanced, sometimes counterintuitive relationship between ICP and CHS.Written by leading re...

We worden allemaal beïnvloed of beheerst door allerlei onzichtbare maar alom aanwezige krachten die ons zo nu en dan kunnen dienen, maar vaker in de weg blijken staan. Denk aan (voor)ouderlijke invloeden, innerlijke stemmen, dromen, impulsen, complexen en geheimen die ons leven vaak meer sturen dan we willen, kunnen en durven toegeven. Deze spookverschijningen dwalen door ons en de geschiedenis heen.James Hollis maakt in 'Niet langer achtervolgd door het verleden' duidelijk hoe bel...

David O. Russell (b. 1958) boasts a diverse body of work as a writer and director, spanning multiple genres and featuring radically differing aesthetic styles. While his early work comically explored taboo subjects with unerring directness, he has also investigated politics with explosive satire.

It is my hope that this tale will not only entertain but also inspire reflection on themes of courage, justice, and the indomitable power o...
