It was directed by, and stars in her acting debut as Lynn, a straight-A student who devises an scheme which eventually rises to international levels. Inspired by real-life news of students cheating on the, the film transplants the heist film structure to a school-exams setting, and features themes of class inequality as well as teen social issues. The young main cast consist of relative newcomers, and as Lynn's classmates Bank, Pat and Grace, while plays her father. Filming took place on location in Thailand and Australia. Bad Genius was released on 3 May 2017, placing first at the Thai box office for two weeks and earning over 100 million (US$3 million), becoming the highest-grossing Thai film of 2017. The film performed successfully overseas. ![]() It broke Thai film earning records in several Asian countries, including China, where it earned over $30 million, making it the most internationally successful Thai film ever. Critics praised the film for its engaging storytelling despite the mundane setting, as well as the acting, especially Chutimon's. It has been screened at several international festivals, winning multiple awards, including Best Feature at the and Best Director at the. Contents • • • • • • • • • • • • Plot [ ] Lynn, a top secondary school student living with her father, is accepted into a prestigious school, earning a scholarship for her academic achievements. There, she befriends the good-natured but academically challenged Grace. Lynn begins helping Grace cheat in exams after finding out that their teacher has been leaking questions in private tutoring sessions. She is then approached by Grace's rich boyfriend Pat, who offers payment in exchange for also helping him and his friends. Although at first reluctant, Lynn agrees when she finds out that the school took payments of 'tea money' from her father, who earns a modest income as a teacher. She devises a system of hand signals, based on certain piano pieces, and uses them to send answers during exams. Her base of clients eventually grows. However, her cheating is inadvertently revealed by Bank, another top student. She is reprimanded by her father and the school, which suspends her scholarship, as well as her chance to apply for an international scholarship at the university level. Lynn returns to the cheating business when Pat and Grace ask her to help them cheat in the STIC—an international standardised test for university admissions—a scheme which will earn them millions of baht. However, Lynn tells them that she can only do it with Bank's help, and honest Bank would never join them. Bank, however, is from a poor family and is staking his future on the same university scholarship. When he is attacked by thugs in the street and misses the exam, Lynn approaches him with the offer and Bank reluctantly agrees. Together, they make preparations for the final operation. Lynn and Bank will fly to Australia in order to get a head start on the exams, which are held globally on the same day, and send back answers for Pat and Grace to distribute to the clients. However, on the eve of their flight, Pat lets slip that it was he who ordered the thugs to beat up Bank, in order to force him to join their scheme. Enraged, Bank attacks Pat and leaves. Lynn, shocked at the revelation, begins rethinking her actions. However, Bank returns to confront Lynn, telling her to take responsibility for the situation and finish what she started. Lynn and Bank's relationship further develops as they fly to Sydney. On the day of the STIC, they complete the first sections of the test according to plan, but Bank is overcome by anxiety and is caught. Lynn struggles to memorise the final section herself, but finally pulls through. She is pursued by the test administrator after feigning illness and leaving the test centre early, but is released when Bank tells the staff he doesn't know her. Returning home, Lynn finds that their scheme was a great success, but, broken by the experience, turns her back on her co-conspirators. Some time later, she visits Bank, who has invested his share in revamping his mother's laundry business. Bank invites Lynn to start a different scheme, this time with a much wider client base—those taking the national GAT & PAT exams. She turns him down, telling him that she's made her choice. Lynn finally decides to come clean, tearfully confessing to her father, who comforts her and helps her redeem herself by submitting a formal confession to the STIC organisation. Production [ ] Development [ ]. Director previously directed GTH's 2012 psycho thriller. Bad Genius was produced by and, executives and veteran producers at (previously ). Jira came up with the film's premise when he heard on the news that scores were being cancelled in China due to a cheating scandal. The producers then invited to direct the film. Nattawut had previously directed the company's 2012 psychological thriller, and the producers believed his ability would lend itself to developing Bad Genius as a heist film. Nattawut was immediately intrigued, and agreed to direct the project, which was developed under the working title '2B Come Won' (a reference to the 2B pencils used to fill in test choices). Nattawut wrote the script together with Tanida Hantaweewatana and Vasudhorn Piyaromna, researching the format details of current standardised tests as well as actual methods of exam cheating seen in the news. The script took about 1 1⁄ 2 years to complete. ![]() The story was developed as a Hollywood-style heist/caper thriller, but the writers made efforts to ground it in a context that would still be relatable to a Thai audience. A major challenge, according to Nattawut, was telling the story of students taking exams—'perhaps the most boring activity on earth'—in a compelling manner. The film's secondary theme, that of the characters' contrasting social backgrounds, emerged during the writing process. Lead actress is a fashion model making her film debut. ![]() The film's main cast is relatively inexperienced—none of the four young main actors had film roles in a major studio production prior to 2017. Lead actress, who plays Lynn, is a fashion model making her acting debut. Plays the role of Bank, and Pat and Grace are played by and, respectively. (Chanon, Teeradon and Eisaya have past TV acting experience.) According to Nattawut, casting for the four main actors took a long time before arriving at the four final choices, who were virtually perfect fits for their roles. He was so impressed with their work that he allowed them considerable room for improvisation during filming. The chemistry underlying Lynn and Bank's relationship, for example, was unscripted, and part of Pat's sales pitch speech was ad-libbed by Teeradon. The only veteran actor in a major role is, who plays Lynn's father. Primarily a singer and songwriter, Thaneth had been absent from acting for over thirty years when Nattawut came across a magazine interview of him, and invited him to cast for the role. Thaneth brought a special warmth to the character, leading Nattawut to modify the script and make the father less controlling, resulting in a more profound father-daughter relationship. The actors underwent acting workshops for a couple of months before filming commenced. Romchat Tanalappipat served as acting coach, and worked with the actors before and during filming. Special preparations by the actors include Chutimon having to practice writing with her left hand, as her character is left-handed, and Chanon memorising the value of to over the 30th digit. Was the location for a particularly challenging scene. Most of the filming took place in Thailand, while about 30 percent was shot on location in Sydney, Australia. About ten crew members flew to Australia from Thailand, while most of the Sydney filming unit was sourced locally. Filming in Sydney was subject to many more restrictions than in Thailand, including strictly limited shooting times. A particularly challenging scene to film was a chase scene which took place at the underground, which had to be fitted into the trains' normal running schedule. Stylistically, Nattawut says he was inspired partly by 1970s thrillers such as, and, leading him to mix in a certain 1970s retro/vintage style in Bad Genius. Stills from were used as a colour palette reference during post-production work done with Kantana Post Production. Nattawut also used 2011's as a reference. The film was officially announced by GDH at a press event on 20 April 2017, along with the release of its theme song 'Mong Chan Tee' ( มองฉันที, which translates as 'Look at Me'). Performed by, the song is a rearrangement of the song 'Why Can't You See' by Thai indie pop band Fwends, with new lyrics. Release and reception [ ] Release [ ]. • The Thai title ( pronounced ( ),: Chalat Kem Kong), is a play on the Thai phrase chalat kaem kong ( ฉลาดแกมโกง, pronounced ( )), which means 'clever/cunning in a cheating way'. The English loanword game supplants the middle word, giving the meaning 'clever in the game of cheating'. • The film also lists three additional producer credits: Suwimon Techasupinan, Chenchonnee Soonthonsaratul and Weerachai Yaikwawong. • Pronounced, rtgs: 'Mong Chan Thi'. • Countries and territories include Laos, Singapore, Cambodia, Taiwan, Malaysia and Brunei, Hong Kong and Macau, Indonesia, Myanmar, Vietnam, mainland China, the Philippines, South Korea, Australia and New Zealand, and Japan. References [ ]. Nattawut Poonpiriya’s caper, about a ring of teenage exam scammers, opens the New York Asian Film Festival after scoring high at the Thai box office in May. Four years after making his debut with the New York-set horror flick — in which three Thai teens get more than they wish for from a goateed drug dealer called Jesus — 36-year-old helmer Nattawut Poonpiriya manages to turn a comparable premise into a relentless, high-octane caper with nods to Hollywood heist flicks past and present. Based on in the international college-admission Scholastic Assessment Tests (SAT), Bad Genius scores high marks as a ceaselessly entertaining thriller that cedes little ground to the cheap comedy and sentimentality of recent Thai hits. Nattawut admitted he watched The Conversation and All the Presidents' Men for inspiration, and it shows as the film flourishes through its simple narrative and taut editing. With exams now basically an essential part of modern life, Bad Genius could easily resonate across various demographics — and even qualify as a mildly worded social critique, with its allusions to the inequality and corruption engulfing the young Thai protagonists. And just like his characters, Nattawut has turned his exam scams into big business: The May 3 release topped the Thai box office during its opening weekend and now stands as the highest-grossing homegrown title in Thailand this year, with takings of nearly U.S.$3.3 million. The film opens the New York Asian Film Festival on June 30, and it wouldn’t be a surprise if someone snaps up remake rights after that. The titular heroine (or anti-heroine) here is straight-A student Lynn (played by model Chutimon Chuengcharoensukying in her first screen role), who, as the film begins, has just enrolled in an elite school. Hailing from a lower middle-class background — her father (1980s pop singer-producer ) is a plain, recently divorced schoolteacher — the teenager discovers, much to her chagrin, that fraud is endemic in her new surroundings. While the school charges students 'tea money,' teachers leak exam papers to students in return for 'tutoring fees.' Watching her father scavenge money for her tuition, the good girl soon turns bad as she develops a plan to earn a quick buck. Egged on by the beautiful but dim-witted Grace (Eisaya Hosuwan) and her rich but equally dense boyfriend Pat (Teeradon Supapunpinyo), Lynn devises a system by which she can relay answers to them — and anyone who's willing to pay — during tests. Beginning with a small-scale experiment in a classroom, Lynn's operation eventually balloons into a derring-do venture with a bigger test taking place in the school hall, as she scrambles to beat a cheat-proof device in the exam papers. Having somehow passed the test on that one — a mission Nattawut conveys very impressively via a mise-en-scene resembling that of a heist more than a high-school comedy — Lynn’s fortune-making enterprise grinds to a halt because of a complaint lodged by her impoverished, equally talented but much more scrupulous rival, Bank (Chanon Santinatornkul). Soon enough, however, Lynn finds bigger fish to fry. Asked by Grace and Pat for her help in their efforts to score decent results at the STIC tests — a fictional equivalent of the SAT — she comes up with a more elaborate and profitable venture, one that would require more logistics, a trip to Australia and, most problematically, Bank’s help. Devoid of the fantastical gadgets that many a 21st century media-savvy maverick would conveniently throw in, Bad Genius is as markedly low-tech as its unassuming title: here, the scammers operate with consumer-grade smartphones, pencils and old-school printing presses, table-tapping fingers, strategically timed bathroom breaks and extreme ways of feigning sickness. Nattawut has managed to make all this work (glossing over a few problems in the plotting) with his dynamic storytelling, thanks to Phaklao Jiraungkoonkun’s camerawork and Chonlasit Upanigikit’s cutting. While allowing just enough of a glimpse of the internal anguish of Lynn and Bank, the director — here helped by engaging turns from Chutimon and Chamon — refrains from expanding that emotion into cliched melodrama. In an audacious move, he denies Bank a chance at redemption, as the boy emerges from his ordeal with his values utterly and dismayingly transformed. Perhaps to avoid being accused of advocating that crime pays, Nattawut has Lynn repent on her misdeeds. But he keeps that note brief and devoid of moralizing or high drama. Bad Genius ultimately is more about the escapade than its consequences, showing that bad things continue to happen in this crooked world.

As such, it’s here that we’ll determine the answer to a question as old as time itself: what is the best webcam for you? The answer depends largely on whether your sights are set on getting famous on YouTube or simply chatting it up with friends. From those with classical designs focused on AV quality to webcams with colorful and quirky designs, we’ve found the best webcam for every occasion. So, if you want to buy the best webcam for video calling using Skype or Google Hangouts, look no further – the top 10 are on this very list. Read on to find out which one has the best set of features in terms of sound or image quality or even a perfect combination of both. Logitech C922 Pro Stream. Possibly overkill for video calls The C615 is a full HD webcam that's particularly well suited to travellers and mobile workers, thanks to its clever 'fold and go' design. It offers 1080p recording and 720p for video calls, and the autofocus system can handle anything from brightly lit offices to extreme webcam close-ups. It swivels in 360 degrees, offers 8 megapixel static shooting and you can pop it on a tripod to keep it steady while you're recording. This is the one we'd pack if we were traveling for work. Microsoft LifeCam Studio. Really designed for corporate types Aimed at pro users with big monitors, the LifeCam studio offers the familiar combination of 1080p recording and 720p live video calling. It rotates 360 degrees, can be mounted on a tripod and even autofocus with a range from four inches to infinity. The wideband mic delivers crystal clear sound and Microsoft's TrueColor system automatically adjusts the exposure to keep you from the darkness. ![]() It's a good choice for business conferencing and presentations.

Thinking about buying a camera but don't have a clue where to start? We're here to help. And even if you know it all, you may find some alternatives you hadn't considered. If you're standing in the middle of a store wondering what to buy, start with our current top picks: Cheap dSLR camera: Nikon D3300; General purpose. Finding your camera on your Network. Last Updated: Jan 18, 2017 09:07AM EST. Cameras will perform best with a gigabit Network. We recommend using a gigabit switch plus using a video server or NVR with a gigabit network. Jan 9, 2018 - Depending on the type of shooting you'll be doing, you may need tripods, a camera with low-light recording capabilities, or enhanced audio. Sit down and really plan out how you want to use video to enhance your blog and then find a camera that can match your needs. With these tips, it should be a lot. More of a toy than a tool Fancy a webcam that shoots in 3D? That's the Minoru's USP, and while the specification isn't stunning – it's 800 x 600 with manual focus and a fixed aperture, so it's only suitable for indoor shooting unless you've got a bunch of filters handy - it looks like a cute robot and enables you to take 3D video. Don't expect amazingly lifelike, photorealistic 3D avatars; this is a camera for messing around with, and if you approach it on that basis it's good fun. Logitech C930e. The 920 comes very close for a lot less cash The C930e claims to be Logitech's most advanced HD webcam and it's also one of the most expensive ones on the market. But, unlike traditional webcams, which rely on the PC to do the heavy lifting, this unit does the video encoding itself, which should in turn result in better video quality. The wide, 90-degree field of view means it’s well-suited to business videoconferencing and presentations, and of course it’s Skype-certified for PC and Mac. Samsung VG-STC5000. Not really one for grown-ups The Hue HD is a little bit different to other webcams: it's also been designed as a document capture/projection camera and a stop-motion camera. Pair those features with a bendy neck, flexible approach and tough construction and there’s no wonder it’s a hit in classrooms. It works on PCs and Macs, includes a microphone and can double up as a microscope. If you're looking for a good all-rounder for kids, the Hue is well worth your consideration. AUSDOM 1080P HD Webcam Camera with Built-in Microphone. Probably not made of titanium If you want a full HD webcam without the full HD webcam price, this little beauty is currently going for cheap. Bolstering resolutions up to 1080p HD while supporting 12MP stills, a noise cancelling microphone and low light compensation, this camera is feature-packed yet frugal. There’s no autofocus and you don’t get a big bundle of software, but the low, low price more than makes up for any shortcomings. • You can't stream without the Gabe Carey has also contributed to this article. Thinking about buying a camera but don't have a clue where to start? We're here to help. And even if you know it all, you may find some alternatives you hadn't considered. If you're standing in the middle of a store wondering what to buy, start with our current top picks: • Cheap dSLR camera: • General purpose compact camera: • Bridge camera/superzoom: • Advanced compact camera: • Enthusiast dSLR camera: • Best high-end mirrorless camera: General tips • There is no spec that tells you which camera is best. And few specs can be taken at face value. • Resolution ('megapixels') doesn't matter unless you're a pro or already understand why. Sensor size, autofocus system and image-stabilization system are among the features that do. • Don't get hung up on making sure you've got the 'best' or newest in a particular class. The truth is, one camera rarely beats the rest on all four major criteria -- photo quality, performance, features and design. And last-year's (or even the year before's) models tend to be perfectly fine as well as a lot cheaper. • Try before you buy. Make sure it fits comfortably in your hand and that it's not so big or heavy that you'll prefer to leave it at home. It should provide quick access to the most commonly used functions, and menus should be simply structured, logical and easy to learn. Touchscreen models can allow for greater functionality, but can also be frustrating if the controls and menus are poorly organized. Lori Grunin/CNET Why get a camera when you've got one in your phone? • Many cameras have or support real zoom lenses which cover a much bigger range than the computational zoom used by some dual-lens phone cameras. (That's when they combine information from the two different focal-length cameras to provide a photo that's better than what you'd get with digital zoom, but not as good as true optical zoom.) • Despite all the advances in phone cameras -- and phone marketing -- they still can't match the quality, speed or control of a good dedicated camera. So some people like to use a separate camera for special events. • Not every phone has a good camera and not every phone with a good camera is a great phone. You might want both. Top considerations Interchangeable or fixed lens? Interchangeable-lens cameras (ILCs) are dSLRs or mirrorless models. The advantages of an ILC over a fixed lens model is: • You can always buy a better lens to improve photo quality and performance. • If you need a wider or narrower angle of view, you can always get another lens to cover it. • You can get a faster (i.e., wider maximum aperture) lens if you need better low-light performance. Fixed-lens cameras come in two flavors: bridge cameras (the ones that look like dSLRs and have really long lenses) and compacts (formerly point-and-shoots, which for the most part have been replaced by phones). The advantages of a fixed-lens camera over an ILC: • The compacts tend to be much smaller. • The bridge cameras tend to cover a zoom range that would be prohibitively expensive and/or heavy in a standalone lens. • Swapping lenses on an ILC can be a pain. • Frequently, the kit lenses that ship with ILCs frequently aren't as high quality or wide-aperture as the fixed lenses. • Many people never buy a second lens, anyway. Lori Grunin/CNET Mirrorless or dSLR? If you decide to go for an ILC, you then have to choose between a dSLR vs. A mirrorless. Sadly, many people have it fixed in their heads that dSLRs are the be-all and end-all of high-quality, high-speed photography. The image quality for mirrorless models is extremely similar to that of a dSLR with the same size sensor and an equivalent lens, and the performance of the midrange and higher-end mirrorless models has gotten really competitive, with sophisticated autofocus systems and fast continuous-shooting speeds. Keep in mind that you're usually better off spending more money on a better lens than on a more expensive body. The advantages of a dSLR over mirrorless are: • DSLR's use optical viewfinders, and a cheap dSLR's optical viewfinder is usually better than the electronic viewfinder (EVF) on an inexpensive mirrorless for shooting action where the EVF may not refresh quickly enough. That gap is narrowing, though. • The battery life of a dSLR -- any dSLR -- is better than that of most mirrorless cameras. • You can use old lenses from film cameras without an adapter, and because dSLRs have been around so long there's a huge selection to choose from. • Current-model cheap dSLRs tend to be cheaper than current entry-level mirrorless cameras. The advantages of a mirrorless over a dSLR: • Most of them are smaller, and their lenses concomitantly smaller, than a dSLR's. Micro Four Thirds lenses (Olympus, Panasonic) are smaller than those for APS-C cameras (everybody else). • Shooting video with a good mirrorless is a much better experience than shooting with a dSLR because the view through the LCD and autofocus performance makes it easier and requires less rigging out. • The lack of a mirror makes a lot of features with real-time preview possible, like watching a long exposure build and mixing and matching filters. • The newer, midrange to expensive mirrorless models have better image stabilization (IS) than dSLRs because the latest IS technologies intelligently combine sensor shift and optical IS, while (at best) dSLRs use optical combined with less powerful digital IS (but usually just optical). How important is photo quality? If the answer is 'very,' then you should consider sensor size in your decision. As a rule of thumb, bigger is better. The trade-off is that the bigger the sensor, the more expensive the camera tends to be. Relative sensor sizes. Lori Grunin/CNET Is the quality and control over video important? If you just want to shoot casual video, then you want a camera with good autofocus. For something better, you need 4K support plus advanced features like all-intra (All-I) codecs, customizable tone curves, lots of frame rate options and touchscreen controls. How important is low-light quality? If it's important, you have to compare maximum native ISO sensitivity capability (not the 'Hi' or expanded ranges), choose the largest sensor size you can afford and a system with good image stabilization so you can use slow shutter speeds. Do you need a really long zoom? Cameras with big zoom ranges tend to cover all the bases, so they make good travel cameras. They're only useful for shooting sports if they have really good autofocus systems, though. Here are some rules of thumb for selecting lens focal lengths: • Ultra-wide angle (less than 18 mm) is good for very large scenes where lens distortion adds rather than detracts from the appeal • Wide-angle (around 18 mm to 30 mm) is good for group shots, landscapes and street photography • Normal (about 30 mm to 70 mm) is good for portraits and snapshots • Telephoto (about 70 mm to 300 mm) is good for portraits and sports • Supertelephoto (greater than 300 mm) is good for sports, wildlife and stalking How important is speed? The days of worrying about shutter lag are pretty much over. Now you just need to make sure the autofocus system is fast and accurate enough to capture the type of scenes you want. The exception is if you intend to shoot action. If you do, then you want a camera that not only has excellent autofocus and fast continuous shooting, you need one that offers decent photo quality in the ISO 800-ISO 6400 range because you'll need to bump it up there to set a sufficiently fast shutter speed (usually upwards of 1/500 sec) to capture the action you want and still maintain a correct exposure. Lori Grunin/CNET Are you planning to photograph in the wild? Look for good body construction with dust-and-weather sealing. Only a handful of cameras are also coldproofed down to 14°F/-10°C or submersible without a housing. If you plan to be away from a way to recharge for more than a day, you should consider that dSLRs have significantly better battery life. Or be prepared to buy a handful of extra batteries for any other type of camera. Do you want a viewfinder? Viewfinders are really helpful for anyone when shooting in direct sunlight when you can't see the LCD. In addition, when looking through a viewfinder your arms are down at your sides which makes it easier to hold steady than the arms-outstretched alternative. Will you use wireless a lot? While almost every camera incorporates Wi-Fi (or Bluetooth as a cheap alternative) to upload photos, not all the implementations are created equal. Definitely search the web for complaints about the apps or connection issues before settling on a camera. ![]() Ann Nesby - Love Is What We Need Lyrics.

It was written by and credited to. The Beatles performed the song over a pre-recorded backing track as Britain's contribution to, the first live global television link. Watched by over 400 million in 25 countries, the programme was broadcast via on 25 June 1967. The song captured the sentiments of the era and topped singles charts in Britain, the United States and many other countries. 'All You Need Is Love' was later included on the US album. It also appears in a sequence in the Beatles' 1968 animated film and on the. Contents • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Background and inspiration [ ] For Our World, the Beatles were asked to provide a song with a message that could be easily understood by everyone. The band undertook the assignment at a time when they were committed to two film projects: a planned television special,, and the animated feature, for which they were contractually obliged to to supply four new recordings. 'All You Need Is Love' was selected for Our World for its contemporary social significance over the -written '. In a statement to magazine,, the band's manager, said of 'All You Need Is Love': 'It was an inspired song and they really wanted to give the world a message. The nice thing about it is that it cannot be misinterpreted. It is a clear message saying that love is everything.' Lennon later attributed the song's simple lyrical statements to his liking of slogans and television advertising. He likened the song to a piece, adding: 'I'm a revolutionary artist. My art is dedicated to change.' Author views it as the Beatles' 'most political song yet' up to 1967 and the origins of Lennon's posthumous standing as a 'humanitarian hero'. In the book, McCartney and say they were unsure whether 'All You Need Is Love' was written for Our World, while and, the Beatles' producer, assert that it was. McCartney said: 'It was certainly tailored to [the broadcast] once we had it. But I've got a feeling it was just one of John's songs that was coming anyway.' Composition and musical structure [ ] The song starts with the intro to the French national anthem, ', and contains elements from 's 1939 hit ', as well as elements from 's 1958 hit '. 'All You Need Is Love' is notable for its asymmetric time signature and complex changes. The main verse pattern contains a total of 29, split into two, a single of 8 4, followed by a one bar return of 7 4 before repeating the pattern. The chorus, however, maintains a steady with the exception of the last bar of (on the lyric 'love is all you need'). The prominent cello line draws attention to this departure from pop-single normality, although it was not the first time that the Beatles had experimented with varied metre within a single song: ' and ' were earlier examples. The song is in the and the verse opens (on ' There's nothing you can do') with a and D melody note, the shifting in a I–V–vi while the simultaneously moves from the (G) note to the root note of the (), via an, supporting a first inversion D chord. After the verse 'learn how to play the game, it's easy', the bass alters the prolonged V (D) chord with F ♯, E, C and B notes. The song is notable for a dramatic use of a dominant or V chord (here D) on 'It's easy.' The 'Love, love, love' chant involves chords in a I–V7–vi shift (G–D–Em) and simultaneous descending B, A, G notes with the concluding G note corresponding not to the tonic G chord, but acting as the third of the E minor chord; this also introducing the E note of the Em chord as a 6th of the tonic G scale. Supporting the same melody note with different and unexpected chords has been termed a characteristic Beatles technique. The song's use of quotations from other musical works follows an approach adopted by the Beatles in Harrison's composition ', which similarly reflects the ideology behind the during the 1967. George Martin recalled that in 'All You Need Is Love' 'the boys. Wanted to freak out at the end, and just go mad'. During the long fade-out, elements of various other songs can be heard, including ', Invention No. 8 in F major (BWV 779) by, ', and the Beatles' own songs ' and '. The first of these three pieces had been included in the arrangement by Martin. 'She Loves You' and 'Yesterday' were the result of improvisation by Lennon in rehearsals – he had also experimented with interpolating ' – although it was McCartney who led 'She Loves You' on the subsequent studio recording. Like musicologist, views the 'She Loves You' refrain as serving a similar purpose to the wax models of the Beatles depicted on the cover of Sgt. Pepper, beside the real-life band members, and therefore a further example of the group distancing themselves from their past. In his book Rock, Counterculture and the Avant-Garde, author Doyle Greene describes the combination of the 'Love is all you need' refrain, 'She Loves You' reprise, and orchestral quotations from Bach and Miller as 'a joyous, collective anarchy signifying the utopian dreams of the counterculture topped off with a postmodern fanfare'. Recording [ ] Backing track [ ] The Beatles began recording the for the song at in south-west London on 14 June 1967. The producers of Our World were initially unhappy about the use of a backing track, but it was insisted upon by Martin, who said that 'we can't just go in front of 350 million people without some work'. The lineup was Lennon on, McCartney on, Harrison on violin – three instruments that were unfamiliar to the musicians – while Starr played drums. The band recorded 33 takes, before choosing the tenth take as the best. Over the following days, they recorded overdubs including vocals, piano (played by Martin), banjo, guitar and orchestral parts. Live broadcast [ ]. There was a tremendous feeling that [the Beatles] really did believe all this, and they'd very consciously written an anthemic piece that could be understood worldwide. This was the first time TV had been beamed to so many countries, and obviously most of the listeners wouldn't be English speakers. They wrote something really, really basic, and yet still got the message across. –, 2007 The Our World broadcast on 25 June cut to Abbey Road studios at 8:54 pm London time, about 40 seconds earlier than expected. Martin and engineer were drinking to calm their nerves for the task of mixing the audio for a live worldwide broadcast, and had to scramble the bottle and glasses beneath the mixing desk when they were told they were about to go on air. McCartney and Lennon performing 'All You Need Is Love' on Our World. Music journalist has described the Beatles' performance as 'one of the strongest visual impressions' from the. For the broadcast, the Beatles (except for Starr) were seated on stools, accompanied by a thirteen-piece orchestra. The band were surrounded by friends and acquaintances seated on the floor, who sang along with the refrain during the fade-out. These guests included,,,,,,, and. The studio setting was designed to reflect the communal aspect of the occasion while also demonstrating the position of influence that the Beatles held among their peers, particularly following the recent release of their album. Many of the invitations were extended through Beatles aides and Tony Bramwell, who visited various London nightclubs the night before the broadcast. Also among the studio audience were members of and the design collective. Balloons, flowers, streamers and 'Love' graffiti added to the celebratory atmosphere. The Beatles and their entourage were dressed in psychedelic clothes and scarves; in his report on the performance, likened the setting to a medieval gathering, broken only by the presence of modern studio equipment such as large headphones and microphones. According to Michael Frontani, an associate professor of, whereas Sgt. Pepper had showed the Beatles as artists and 'serious musicians', the broadcast emphasised their identity as members of the hippie counterculture. The segment opened with the band simulating a rehearsal for about a minute, before Martin suggested that the orchestral musicians should take their places for the recording as the tape was rewound. The Beatles, the orchestra and the guests then overdubbed onto the pre-recorded rhythm track. In addition to the lead and backing vocals and the orchestra, the live recorded elements were McCartney's bass guitar part, Harrison's guitar solo and Starr's drums. Lennon, affecting indifference, was said to be nervous about the broadcast, given the potential size of the international TV audience. Dissatisfied with his singing, he rerecorded the solo verses for use on the single. Starr also overdubbed a drum roll at the start of the track, replacing a tambourine part. The programme was shown in since colour television had yet to commence broadcasting in Britain and most of the world. The Beatles' footage was colourised, based on photographs of the event, for the 1995 documentary. Over the documentary's end credits, a snippet of studio conversation from the 25 June overdubbing session includes Lennon telling Martin: 'I'm ready to sing for the world, George, if you can just give me the backing ' The colour version of the band's Our World appearance also appears on the Beatles' 2015 video compilation. Release and reception [ ] The day before the Our World broadcast, the Beatles decided that the song should be their next single. Issued in the UK on 7 July 1967, with ' on the B-side, it entered the at number 2 before topping the listings for three weeks. It was similarly successful in the United States after its release on 17 July, reaching number one for a week. In his feature on the song in, writes that 'All You Need Is Love' 'hit Number One all over the world, providing the sing-song anthem for the Summer of Love, with a sentiment that was simple but profound'. The single was certified by the on 11 September 1967. The Aegean Sea, off the coast of Greece. In the weeks following the release of the single, the Beatles holidayed on the Aegean in search of an island on which to establish a private commune. According to author Jonathan Gould, the Beatles 'bask[ed] in the glow of their artistic achievements' while enjoying their first summer free of tour commitments, having quit performing concerts the previous year. In late July, the band investigated the possibility of buying a Greek island with a view to setting up a hippie-style for themselves, their partners and children, and members of their inner circle such as, Evans, Epstein and. After sailing around the and approving a location on the island of Leslo, the Beatles decided against the idea and returned to London. In early August, Harrison, accompanied by a small entourage including Taylor and Aspinall, made a highly publicised visit to the international hippie capital of, in San Francisco. Writing in 2001, said that the Beatles' performance on Our World 'remains one of the strongest visual impressions of the summer of love'; Womack describes it as 'flower power's finest moment'. Rolling Stone ranks 'All You Need Is Love' 370th on its list of the '500 Greatest Songs of All Time' and 21st on its '100 Greatest Beatles Songs' list. Placed it at number 28 on a similar list of the best Beatles songs. In his commentary for the magazine, producer and musician admired the track's 'jumbled-up mix of music – marching band and rock'n'roll' and recalled the Beatles' Our World appearance as 'a signal for those [of us] who felt we were trapped in a mental hospital in some suburban town to break out'. 'All You Need Is Love' was also included on the American version of in November 1967, and on the Yellow Submarine, and 1999 '. As a statement on the power of universal love, the song served as the moral in the film. It plays over a scene where Lennon's character defeats the by throwing the word 'Love' at their evil Flying Glove. The track is also featured in 's show, based on the songs of the Beatles, and its 2006. Cultural responses and legacy [ ]. A demonstrator offers a flower to military policemen during an anti- demonstration in October 1967 (photo by ). 'All You Need Is Love' provided an anthem for the movement but has since attracted criticism for its simplistic message. According to author, 'All You Need Is Love' served as 'the anthem of flower power' during the summer of 1967 but also, like the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper album, highlighted the ideological gulf between the predominantly white hippie movement and the increasingly political ghetto culture in the United States. Wiener says that the song's pacifist agenda infuriated many student radicals from the and that these detractors 'continued to denounce [Lennon] for it for the rest of his life'. Wiener also writes that, in summer 1967, 'links between the counterculture and the New Left remained murky', since a full dialogue regarding politics and rock music was still a year away and would only be inspired by Lennon's 1968 song '. Doyle Greene writes that because of its presentation as the conclusion to Our World, 'All You Need Is Love' provided 'a distinctly political statement'. He says that the song was 'selling peace' on a program that aimed to foster international understanding in a climate of hostility, the and revolutionary unrest in the. In the decades following the release of 'All You Need Is Love', Beatles biographers and music journalists have criticised the lyrics as naive and simplistic and detected a smugness in the message; the song's musical content has also been dismissed as unimaginative. Writing in 1988, author and critic identified the track's 'internal contradictions (positivisms expressed with negatives)' and 'bloated self-confidence ('it's easy')' as qualities that rendered it as 'the naive answer to ''. Maybe in the Sixties we were naive and like children and later everyone went back to their rooms and said, 'We didn't get a wonderful world of flowers and peace.' Crying for it wasn't enough. The thing the Sixties did was show us the possibility and the responsibility we all had. – John Lennon, 1980 Mark Hertsgaard considers 'All You Need Is Love' to be among the Beatles' finest songs and one of the few highlights among their recordings from the Magical Mystery Tour– Yellow Submarine era. In his opinion, Lennon's detractors fail to discern between 'shallow and utopian' when ridiculing the song as socially irrelevant, and he adds: 'one may as well complain that was a poor singer as criticize Lennon on fine points of political strategy; his role was the Poet, not the Political Organizer.' Views the song as 'one of The Beatles' less deserving hits' and, in its apparently chaotic production, typical of the band's self-indulgent work immediately after Sgt. Regarding the song's message, McDonald writes: During the materialistic Eighties, this song's title was the butt of cynics, there being, obviously, any number of additional things needed to sustain life on earth. It should, perhaps, be pointed out that this record was not conceived as a blueprint for a successful career. 'All you need is love' is a transcendental statement, as true on its level as the principle of investment on the level of the stock exchange. In the idealistic perspective of 1967 – the polar opposite of 1987 – its title makes perfect sense. In 1978, parodied 'All You Need Is Love' in their song 'Love Life'. In 2009, George Vaillant, the chief investigator of the, which tracked 268 Harvard undergraduates for a period of 80 years with the goal of finding what factors led to happiness, stated that its findings could be summarized as 'Happiness is love. When pressed for being sentimental or too general, he revisited his findings and again stated, 'the short answer is L-O-V-E.' The claimed that the '[Grant] study proves Beatles right: All You Need is Love.' Personnel [ ] According to Ian MacDonald: The Beatles • – lead and backing vocals,, • – bass, double bass, backing vocals • – lead guitar, violin, backing vocals • – drums Additional participants • – piano, orchestral arrangement, production • – conductor •, Patrick Halling, Eric Bowie, Jack Holmes – violins • Rex Morris, Don Honeywill – • – trumpet • Stanley Woods – trumpet, • Evan Watkins, Harry Spain – trombones • Jack Emblow – •,,,,,,,,,, and others – background vocals Charts and certifications [ ]. • McCartney also offered ' for consideration. • The idea to film the performance in the company of their friends and fellow artists reprised the orchestral overdubbing session for ' in February 1967, when the Beatles had hosted a -style event at EMI's Studio 1. Author cites a television performance by of their June 1967 single ', when the band were 'surrounded by a kaftan-clad crowd of beatific followers', as a precedent. • Starr recalls that his outfit was designed by the Fool especially for the event. It included a yellow sequin jacket with a fur collar and edging, and rings of beads around his neck; he says that together 'it weighed a ton.' • Among a number of placards featuring the word 'love' translated into a variety of languages, a sign was held up during the clip with the words 'Come Back Milly'. This was a plea to an aunt of McCartney's who was in Australia visiting her son and grandchildren. • When considering the island commune scheme, Lennon was similarly oblivious to the political upheaval in Greece, three months after the country had become a fascist state. At the time, he told the Beatles' official biographer,: 'I'm not worried about the political situation in Greece, as long as it doesn't affect us. I don't care if the government is all fascist or communist.' References [ ]. • Unterberger, Richie...

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- During the Cleveland Cavaliers' Game 5 win, one that kept their title hopes alive, the Big Three combined for 84 points, the highest yet this postseason. That doesn't paint the entire picture. Kyrie Irving and LeBron James scored 82, while Kevin Love, the oft-criticized third wheel, had just two. 'We definitely need him. He's too big of a piece to our puzzle,' LeBron James said Wednesday following the Cavaliers' practice at Quicken Loans Arena. 'We definitely need Kev to play better. We want him to play better, but we don't want to add no more stress on him or added pressure. We just want him to go out and play, just let it hang out.' When Love re-signed in Cleveland last summer, he knew sacrifice would be necessary. His chances of making All-Star teams and putting up gaudy stats were a thing of the past. It was about finding other ways to make an impact, even if asked to do things outside of his comfort zone. Going into Game 5 of The Finals, as the Cavs needed a win to send the series back to Cleveland, head coach Tyronn Lue demanded aggressiveness from Kyrie Irving and LeBron James. Lue even put the ball in James' hands more, asking him to pick apart the Warriors' suddenly discombobulated defense. The plan worked. The Cavs left Oracle Arena with a 15-point win. But as was the case following Cleveland's Game 3 win, a game Love missed because of a concussion, the final piece of the triumvirate's importance became a talking point. 'I think with everything that he gave us, I mean, he helped us win,' James said in response. 'We needed everybody, all 15 guys. Even the guys that never even touched the floor. We had two guys in suits. We needed everybody's contribution.' During Monday's win, Love -- like many of his teammates -- took a back seat to James and Irving. While the duo was silencing the crowd and filling the city of Cleveland with renewed hope, Love became a witness to a historic evening. 'It just felt like it was one of those nights where you just kind of roll out the ball for them and get out of the way,' Love said. 'They were spectacular all night, both scoring 41. Kyrie shooting above 70 percent, LeBron really filled up the stat sheet in every way. So it was great to be a part of, and you had to find different ways to affect the game that might not show up on the stat sheet.' Love felt the best approach involved James and Irving carrying the scoring load, especially as the Warriors were playing without two of their best rim protectors, Andrew Bogut (knee) and Draymond Green (suspension). 'When Bogut went down, I think our primary option was for those guys to play downhill and attack the paint and the rim,' Love said. 'So for me, yeah, it was just kind of -- I know it's funny to say, but run in the corner, let those guys do their thing, and on the defensive end try to apply myself as much as I could.' Love's floor spacing has always been a coveted trait. It showed during the sweep against Atlanta and the final two games to close out the Eastern Conference Finals against the Toronto Raptors. He had made 41 triples in the postseason entering the Finals. Defense, on the other hand, has never been his calling card. It's usually an adventure, especially when the opponent involves him in pick-and-roll action. He held his own in Game 5. That's why, despite a lackluster box score -- two points on 1-of-5 shooting, including 0-of-3 from 3-point range to go with three rebounds, one assist, one block and two turnovers in 33 minutes -- he still received kudos. 'Kevin was great,' Lue said. 'I mean, defensively he did a lot of good things. Offensively we have two guys that did something that hasn't been done in NBA history: Two guys score 40 points in a single game. So there wasn't a lot of room or a lot of shots for a lot of other guys because they had a special moment. 'So it's hard enough to win a game in a regular season and then to win a game in the NBA Finals and guys are focused on Kevin not scoring the basketball. He did a lot of great things. Our rebounding was down because he's on the perimeter. He's guarding perimeter guys. They play five smalls, so he's not going to be able to rebound the ball as well as if he's playing inside against a bigger guy.' There's truth to Lue's words. Love helped create driving lanes for Irving and James and Love's reputation as a low-post scorer and 3-point bomber forced Andre Iguodala, normally a James irritant, to match up with Love at times while the Warriors were trying to go small. There's value there, which can be shown in his plus-18, if you choose to put stock into that stat. The recent win puts the Cavs two away from an NBA title, but the odds of Cleveland's duo -- Irving and James -- having an encore in Game 6 are slim. Green, the Defensive Player of the Year runner-up, is back for the Warriors. That means the best approach on offense will be a team-oriented one, perhaps making Love more of a focal point on the offensive end. 'Just need him to be aggressive,' James said. 'You know, from the defensive side of the floor and the offensive side of the floor, go out and make an impact on the game, no matter if he's not scoring, no matter if at times he feels like he's not getting touches. We all just need to continue to be aggressive. He needs to be aggressive to help us try to send this game back to Golden State. I think he's looking forward to the challenge. I think he's looking forward to the moment.' For the second straight year, the Warriors have a chance to clinch the NBA title in Cleveland. Love wasn't in uniform for the Warriors' coronation last June. He will be this time, even if it hasn't always looked like it during this series. Love is averaging 7.0 points on 37.1 percent from the field, including 28.6 percent from beyond the arc in four games. His numbers have been trimmed significantly since the regular season. But Thursday could be his moment, a chance to silence the critics and end the constant chatter about breaking up the Cavs' Big Three. Without Bogut, the Warriors could downsize from the jump, playing Green at center, where he has had plenty of success. The Cavs have experimented with their own shrunken lineup, and Love's post-up prowess and ability to take advantage of mismatches will become important. He may need to be more than a decoy. 'Every game is different,' Love said. 'I think every game in the entire playoffs has been different. But they're a team that will probably play a lot of small ball. You'll see Draymond at the five, we're thinking, and (Festus) Ezeli will come in and they'll have a lot of different players sub in and out of their lineup. But we know that the crowd is going to be on our side and we're going to have to play really, really good basketball and play better than we did last game.' That includes Love, who has been an afterthought in his first Finals appearance. ![]() View all showtimes for the movie Mes vies de chien playing in Sherbrooke cinemas, for today and for upcoming days.

Every chapter stood on its own, some were more involving than others.

About 12 percent of the U.S. Population gets them. Migraines are recurring attacks of moderate to severe pain. The pain is throbbing or pulsing, and is often on one side of the head. During migraines, people are very sensitive to light and sound. They may also become nauseated and vomit. Migraine is three times more common in women than in men. Some people can tell when they are about to have a migraine because they see flashing lights or zigzag lines or they temporarily lose their vision. Many things can trigger a migraine. These include • Anxiety • Stress • Lack of food or sleep • Exposure to light • Hormonal changes (in women) Doctors used to believe migraines were linked to the opening and narrowing of blood vessels in the head. Now they believe the cause is related to genes that control the activity of some brain cells. Medicines can help prevent migraine attacks or help relieve symptoms of attacks when they happen. For many people, treatments to relieve stress can also help. Learn from over 30 world leading migraine experts, doctors & specialists during April 23-29, 2017 at the Migraine World Summit.

NIH: National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke. ![]() Novak, now in her 60s, is one of the roughly 35 million Americans who suffer from migraines. There are few effective treatments, and no new drugs have been developed since the early 1990s. But that could soon change. ![]() A handful of drug companies are pressing ahead with novel injectable therapies for migraines, chasing a blockbuster market that Wall Street analysts say could reach $8 billion a year in worldwide sales. The new drugs target a bodily protein called CGRP, which plays a role in the dilation of blood vessels in the brain. Scientists haven’t nailed down just how the protein affects migraines, but they’re sure about two things: CGRP levels rocket up when headaches attack and normalize when they go away. And thus four drug makers — Amgen, Eli Lilly, Teva Pharmaceuticals, and Alder Biopharmaceuticals — have fashioned antibodies that can bind to CGRP molecules and block their activity. The goal: to relieve the scourge of chronic migraines by stopping CGRP in its tracks. So far, it seems to be working. In mid-stage clinical trials, each of the four treatments has eased symptoms for about half of study participants, cutting the number of days they’re afflicted by migraines roughly in half. It’s by no means a cure for migraines, but it should be enough to merit Food and Drug Administration approvals if the companies can replicate those results in larger trials, according to Eric Schmidt, a securities analyst at Cowen and Co. Each treatment is now in late-stage development, targeting the roughly 38 percent of migraine sufferers who, like Novak, have at least four headache days per month. The first therapy could hit the market in 2018, and, if everything works out, all four could available by the end of the decade. So far, the four drugs have performed similarly in clinical trials, and analysts expect the contenders will have to compete on price to grab market share. “There will certainly be hypercompetition,” said William Ratner, Lilly’s senior director of global headache marketing. But the companies’ fortunes are intertwined, he said, and “the class only wins if headache care in America improves.” Aiming to prevent migraines before they start There’s plenty of room for improvement. Existing therapies are plagued by inconsistent efficacy and troublesome side effects, and patients are often left to rely on a repurposed treatment for epilepsy. That medication, Topamax, has been dubbed dubbed “Sleepomax” by doctors and patients because it’s also a heavy sedative. “I’m very enthusiastic, as I think everyone in the field is, about having another treatment option for people with migraines,” said Dr. Elizabeth Loder, a professor of neurology at Harvard Medical School and chief of the headache division in the department of neurology at Brigham and Women’s Hospital. Targeting CGRP is not a particularly new idea. Researchers picked up on the protein’s scent more than 30 years ago, and drug companies spent years trying to craft pills that might block its activity. Merck got all the way into late-stage trials with an anti-CGRP tablet, spending more than $1 billion only to find in 2011 that the drug had toxic effects on the liver and thus no future. With the “exquisite sensitivity” of an antibody, however, scientists believe they can block CGRP without triggering dangerous side effects, Alder CEO Randy Schatzman said. Because antibodies stay active in the body for weeks, the drug companies see their new products as preventative therapies, injected monthly or quarterly to keep headaches at bay. (Merck’s failed pill, by contrast, was meant as an on-the-spot treatment after the pain started.) “So in some senses, it’s a paradigm shift,” Schatzman said. But there are still hurdles to clear. Only about half of patients seem to respond to CGRP antibodies, and the companies have no way of predicting who they are ahead of time. A genetic test would be “the Holy Grail of personalized medicine,” said Rob Lenz, Amgen’s global development lead for neuroscience, but no one has made one yet. And long-term safety remains a major question mark. To date, none of the companies has reported serious side effects in clinical trials, but they’ve only reported data from 12-week studies on about 1,500 total patients. It will take years to determine just what the new therapies do to the body over time, Loder said. ‘I felt like my life was being stolen from me’ Any advance, even an incremental one, would be a major leap for the field, said Emily Bates, who studies the genetic causes of headaches at the University of Colorado and is not affiliated with any of the companies working on migraine treatment. Bates struggled with chronic migraines in high school and college. Like many patients, she didn’t respond to any of the preventative therapies available. “The pain is more than anything I’ve ever experienced, and I’ve run on broken legs before,” she said. “I felt like my life was being stolen from me.”. Collectively, Americans miss about 113 million workdays each year because of migraine. That lost productivity costs society about $13 billion each year, according to the Migraine Research Foundation. Yet scientific progress has been slow, in part because migraine was long considered a psychosomatic condition not worthy of serious research funding, Bates said. It’s a “subjective symptom that predominantly affects women,” said Loder, the Harvard neurologist. “That’s a perfect combination of things that make people feel able to dismiss it.” Novak, a professor of photography at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts, spent years trying to hide her migraines because of the stigma attached to the condition. But she decided to change all that in 2009 with a project called. She takes a photo of herself each day she has a migraine. Some years, that’s more than 120 pictures. The idea, in part, was to humanize chronic migraines. But the project also forced Novak to reckon with the toll of the disease, something she had tried to ignore for years. “That for me was like a concrete proof of how it really does affect my life,” Novak said, “of how much time I lose.”. I’ve suffered since my very first memories & I’m age 44 now. I am a man a small percentage Hwvr I would gladly volunteer for genetic testing. I already have Pet scans, MRI’s & a Cat scan The Pet scan stumped the neurologist as very irregular. I am also a High functioning autistic. Where can one find proper testing & treatment? Topamax made me feel Violent And made my migraines worse. I despise violence so no I isolated myself appropriately.
