Tom Hiddleston might not be James Bond any time soon, but he is a Golden Globe winner.
The Thor actor took home the trophy for Best Actor in a Limited Series or Motion Picture Made for Television at the ceremony on Sunday evening for his turn as spy Jonathan Pine in The Night Manager. This was his first win and nomination for the Golden Globes. His acceptance speech was pretty heavy, but in an admirably socially conscious way as he promised a "quick story" in which he recalled trip to South Sudan. "It's a terrible situation happening for children," he said. "There are far too arms going into South Sudan."
The Night Manager is about arms dealing, he explained; while enjoying a "dirty beer," he and the crew were approached by members of UNICEF and others working to aid and empower the young nation, also dealing with extreme poverty and violence. The workers said that, during the previous month, they'd binged watched the series, and "the idea we could provide some relief for...n people fixing the world where it is immensely broken," makes him proud.

Hiddleston's win meant a loss for People v. OJ's Courtney B. Vance — who previously beat Hiddleston for the Emmy last year — and The Night Of's Riz Ahmed (whose profile has risen considerably since his turn in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story), as well as Bryan Cranston for All the Way and Ahmed's Night Of co-star John Turturro.

The alienation of children from one parent is a huge problem in Japan. In spite of Japan signing the Geneva Convention on child abduction, Japanese and non-Japanese parents often do not get to even see their children if the other parent essentially kidnaps them.
Here is a 60 minutes documentary on the issue which seems to be a worldwide problem, but is particularly widespread in Japan.

Indian debt market sees few new measures in RBI policy
India's debt traders expect the central bank to continue with its steps to improve market depth and trading practices in its mid-year policy review on Monday but no new, radical measures are likely.
Market players are uncertain about the prospects for a rate cut although many expect the Reserve Bank of India to announce some measures to further loosen its easy monetary policy.
Most expect a reduction in banks' cash reserve ratio, with some holding out hopes that the bank rate may be cut.
Traders and debt analysts say the central bank has already plotted the course for the markets and systems and the current policy review may just be a report card on the progress made.
In recent years, the central bank has replaced part of its fixed rate funding assistance to markets with auction-based repos, created new benchmarks for the fledgling derivatives market and has started work on automating transactions.
"This policy is going to maintain a status quo as far as market systems and practices are concerned," said a dealer with a state-run bank.
"There is little point in announcing new intentions until we make some progress on what's been committed."
The RBI's experiment with the liquidity adjustment facility it introduced last year, to set more market-related rates on its refinance and to ensure it was not taken for granted as a lender of last resort, has been a success.
In the past 12 months, call rates have rarely spiked outside the two-per cent band between the reverse repo and repo rates at which the central bank lends and borrows from the market.
The repo and reverse repo rates have been steady at 6.5 per cent and 8.5 per cent respectively for several months.
The RBI has said the LAF should eventually replace another approximately Rs 80 billion of refinance it now gives against export loans and as support to primary dealers at the bank rate, which is currently seven per cent.
"They are committed to moving all the refinance to an auction-based system, but it is unlikely they will do it this time," said JP Morgan's debt analyst Siddharth Mathur.
Bankers however expect the central bank will make refinance against lending to exporters, estimated at around Rs 40 billion, cheaper to compensate banks for a reduction in export finance rates last month.
In September, the RBI told banks they should charge exporters a maximum of 2.5 percentage points below their prime lending rates, a reduction of a percentage point from the prevailing cap.
Srinivas Varadarajan, chief dealer at Chase Manhattan bank, said the RBI could consider linking the export refinance to the RBI's repo auction rate, but this would entail the risk of exposing the cost of refinance to a short-term and more flexible reference rate.
A lot of other proposals for the debt market have been held up by the slow progress to set up the Negotiated Dealing System, which will help the market move to Real Time Gross Settlement of securities transactions.
That could give the debt market the additional depth, liquidity and ease of settlements needed for introduction of instruments like futures and STRIPS (Separate Trading of Registered Interest and Principal Securities).
The central bank may permit 'when-issued' trading in bonds, which enable price discovery prior to the issue, and increase the size of treasury bill issues, traders said.
Bankers said the RBI might ease the $10 million limit it has imposed on unhedged currency swap positions for banks, but is unlikely to interfere in the interest rate swaps market.
So far, the overnight-indexed swap is the only interest rate derivative actively traded by the markets, and traders said short-comings such as the limited participation by state-run banks and dearth of longer-term benchmarks will be resolved in time as the market matures.

As I have been telling you, the Stock Market will crash in September 2015. However, seems to have gotten an early start:
I am not a market expert, but I have been told that investing in gold and silver is best now. Things are supposed to improve in February 2016–as it stands now. But, who knows!
The fall in the markets are being blamed on the economy in China. However, all major markets and currencies must fall so a new global system can be installed. Must tear down the old to build in the new. It is all contrived and manipulated, as you well know.
Gary the Numbers Guy, the world's best numerologist, will be giving a lecture on this at our October Conference. You SHOULD be there!

My body used to belong to me.
When I was a little girl, my favorite part of the day was when we got home from errands or preschool. I would push the front door open with both small hands and run—through the living room filled with plastic-wrapped furniture, past the washer dryer that made funny sounds that I liked, past my bedroom filled with a growing collection of Winnie the Pooh toys—into the bathroom. I would take all my clothes off as quickly as possible, shimmying out of my underwear and pants, breaking out of my shirt like it was an inconvenient membrane. I would leave the pile on the floor and then run back out, giggling with uncontained delight, to the kitchen where my grandmother was always cooking.
I would stop at the end of the little hall, where the calico-cat-colored rug met the linoleum of the dining room. I would spread out my arms and legs as far as I could. And I would jiggle. My thighs and belly, my cheeks and my whole body would wobble. I would turn my head in circles. I liked that everything moved and undulated. My body was like the water in the bathtub or the water at the community pool, which I loved so much in the summer. My body was like that water, a source of relief and fun, a place I could jump into and be held. It felt good. Oh, it felt so good. I remember how curious I was, and how much I loved that my body could do these incredible things. I had no sense of self-awareness, only the immediacy of pleasure.
I think back on that time in my life as if it was someone else's story. It feels so far away. I feel protective of that little girl, who couldn't imagine the horrible education awaiting her.
Less than a year later, those jiggle-filled afternoons would disappear. I would find myself being taught by boys at school that I was unlovable and disgusting because of my fat body. I would lose sight of how magical my body was, how magical I was. I would lose the sense that my body was mine at all.
All the freedom and wonder I felt became supplanted by a sharp sense that I had failed at something big. And that it was my job to fix it—to fix me. Rather than learning to trust my instincts and value myself, I learned that the size of my body was the only thing that mattered about me.
Through a series of violent, culturally sanctioned events—so commonplace that women simply call them "life"—my innate relationship to my body was taken from me and replaced with something foreign and alien and harmful. My relationship to my body was replaced with one toxic idea: your body is wrong. This idea would threaten my happiness and my health for nearly two decades.
As much as I wish it were, my story is not unique. It is, in many ways, the story of women's lives in America.
Recently, I got an email from a woman who told me that she was being treated for bulimia, an eating disorder that disproportionately affects women and only exists in cultures that glorify thinness. Even though she was seeking treatment for a disorder that threatened her very life, she was still cautioned against gaining "too much" weight while in recovery. Her email reminded me of the first time I'd heard such a story. A woman told me she had cancer that went untreated because her doctor told her that the problem was her weight. She went in for an appointment because she was experiencing excruciating menstrual cramps and very heavy periods. She was afraid. Rather than examining her, the doctor told her that if she lost weight that everything would be fine. Had the doctor been willing to take her seriously, she could have found the lump in her uterus, but instead it grew unchecked for another three years. And I was reminded of my own childhood and my education in body shame that sought to steal from me the most precious thing I would ever have: the inherent magic of being alive and the vehicle through which that magic is experienced, my body.

How to Unfasten a Diamond Tennis Bracelet Clasp
Tennis bracelets are unique by design. Authentic tennis bracelets typically contain a row of diamonds, though some newer bracelets feature any number of different types of stones.
Diamond tennis bracelets usually have a protective latch that ensures you won't lose the expensive jewellery if the main clasp comes undone. Although the protective latch is designed to be helpful, it can be a nuisance to unattach each time you take the bracelet off. These latches generally come in two types -- circle and chain.
Look to see which type of safety clasp you have. A circle clasp features two loops of metal that each attach to a post on either end of the bracelet; it looks like a figure eight. A chain clasp spans the gap between the two posts if the main clasp comes undone.
Grip one end of the circle clasp and pull up gently. It should come unattached, leaving the other end still attached to the post. If it won't budge, gently place one finger underneath and lift up, applying direct pressure on one end of the clasp. Undo the main clasp and slide the bracelet off.
Take hold of one end of the chain clasp. Not every chain clasp is the same, so you'll have to examine yours closely. Some are designed like most chain necklaces with a sliding circle; in this case, press on the lever with your fingernail until the circle opens, releasing the chain. Once you have the chain clasp undone, release the main clasp and slide off the bracelet.

I was recently interviewed by Alex Ferrari for his incredible filmmaking podcast Indie Film Hustle. Over the course of the interview, Alex asked me all about my experience making and releasing my feature film Shadows On The Road, which was made for $12,000 with a crew of 4.
We covered a lot of ground, discussed every phase of the process, and got into some of the intense challenges that arose along the way. It's a great listen for anyone planning to make a micro-budget narrative film.
If you'd like to hear more about the process click here to listen to the full interview on Indie Film Hustle.
In the future, I plan to release an article all about my distribution strategy. I'll outline exactly how the film was self-distributed, and how we utilized targeted social media ads to generate sales on multiple VOD platforms. More on that front soon, so stay tuned…

Air Quality
Between July 5th and 15th, the Air Quality Research Lab ran on-road vehicle chasing experiments in order to investigate how pollutants released from quickly moving vehicles mix with the surrounding air. Prof. Peter Taylor's generously loaned SUV was oufitted with a sonic anemometer to measure wind speed and turbulence, a Licor open-path high-speed sampler to measure CO2 and water vapour, and a UHSAS aerosol sizer, which counts and sizes airbourne particles with diameters between 70 nm and 1 micron. A dash-cam was used to determine the distance to the vehicle being followed (typically heavy-duty tractor-trailers, buses, or SUVs), and also to provide GPS for the calculation of position, speed, and orientation. Software to triangulate the distance from the videos was specially developed by PhD student Julien Li-Chee-Meng (Prof. Costas Armenakis).
MSc student Stefan Miller (supervised by Prof. Mark Gordon and Prof. Rob Mclaren) leads the investigation and is responsible for operating the instruments during the drives. Analysis of this unique data set (possibly the first attempt at on-road CO2 and particle fluxes from vehicles on the highway) will help us understand how the mixing of vehicle emissions are enhaced by the turbulence that moving vehicles create. It may also allow us to track the high-speed evolution of particulate emissions. Driving support was provided by MSc student Sepehr Fathi (M. Gordon) and RA Zheng Qi Wang (P. Taylor). LURA student Brandon Loy (M. Gordon) provided help with installation and set up.

Spennymoor Town's FA Trophy game against Bromley will be played on Wednesday 14th March at Darlington FC's Blackwell Meadows.
FA Officials have been in discussion with Spennymoor ground staff over the weekend and have confirmed that both Tuesday and Wednesday will come too soon for The Brewery Field's pitch to recover from the recent inclement weather.
The game will now be played on Wednesday evening at 7:45pm and will be moved 16 miles South to Blackwell Meadows, subject to a FA-led pitch inspection tomorrow (Tuesday 13 March 2018). If the game is declared unplayable on Wednesday it will be played this Saturday (17th March) at Bromley's Hayes Lane.
Spennymoor have a significant fixture backlog, mainly due to the impact the recent heavy weather has had on the playing surface at The Brewery Field. They once again experienced a National League North postponement yesterday when AFC Telford's pitch was declared unplayable, meaning the Moors won't have played a game since the first leg of the FA Trophy tie on Saturday 24th February by the time the two teams go head-to-head on Wednesday evening.
The Board, officials and players at Spennymoor Town would like to thank Darlington for their support in helping us play this crucial game in our season.
We hope that being able to confirm these plans ahead of time with the FA and Bromley FC shows that Spennymoor Town has the interests of the supporters of both clubs at heart and should avoid a repeat of the unfortunate circumstances that led to some wasted journeys for supporters of both clubs last week.

I'm a newbie to this site and powershell, I have found some code and pieced it together to get this far...but this code for outlook 2010 has errors and I don't know how to clear the conversation history

As for this...
I'm a newbie to this site and powershell,
It's OK to be new at X or Y, but one should not just guess at things and hope they will work. So, please spend sometime getting ramped up on PowerShell scripiting, Outlook Object model / programming. You need to do this to limit / eliminate, misconceptions, poor code, bad habits, frustrating errors, destroying your host or you companies environment. Number one rule, never ever run anyone's code, no matter where you get it, unless you fully understand what it is doing. Especially, when you are doing destructive things like this.
There are tons of free / no cost resources to leverage, all you need to do is invest time. See my Reddit posts here:
Learning this stuff.https://www.reddit.com/r/PowerShell/comments/bserj9/learn_powershell/eooduq9/?context=3 https://www.reddit.com/r/PowerShell/comments/bserj9/learn_powershell/eoodxzu/?context=3
Best Practiceshttps://www.reddit.com/user/get-postanote
There are tons of similar post from amny other fine folks as well. Yet, YouTube, MSDN Channel9 are the go to video locations for you to hit and loo up videos on PowerShell beginning/intermediate/advanced, form design/GUI, Active Directory, Outlook, Exchange, etc...)
Anyway, this is a good number of things wrong here, and this happens with new folks and copy/paste spaghetti code efforts. Never try and solve all things at once in a script. Do it a piece at a time, to make sure you are getting the results you'd expect. As well as doing so in a non-destructive way. Read up on -WhatIf and -Confirm.
Why are you doing this Outlook and PowerShell vs using Exchange direclty? Use the Excnahge cmdlets, on the Exchange server nativly for this and you don't need to be on the client at all or use Outlook.
There are several videos on how to do this...https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=powershell+delete+outlook+mail&sp=mAEB
You can set Exchange polices to auto delete mail and the like as well. See the Exchange docs on that topic.
As for where you are now...
powershell Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope "CurrentUser" -ExecutionPolicy "RemoteSigned"
This only matters if you are starting the script from the DOS cmd line. If you are already in the PowerShellConsole / ISE / VSCode, just run the script.If your host ExecutionPolicy is already set to RemoteSigned(and it should be as it's now the default vs Restricted), then there is little need to try and change it to what it already is. If your host is set to Restricted, then this makes sense. Yet again, if you are in a PowerShell session, there is no reason to start another one.
Why are you loading this?
This is for WInForm and VB messagebox use case and you have no Form/GUI/MessageBox code anywhere in your post. It is not required for Outlook DOM interop or use.
This ...
$outlook = new-object -com outlook.application
... is not complete. You do not have the Office names space loaded at all, so this will fail, and any calls to it will fail. So, this instead... ( but please see the references below for details before trying this.)
### Messing with Outlook folders
Add-type -assembly "Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook" | out-null $olFolders = "Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.olDefaultFolders" -as [type] $outlook = new-object -comobject outlook.application $namespace = $outlook.GetNameSpace("MAPI")
$namespace.Folders $namespace.Folders.FullFolderPath $namespace.Folders.Folders.FullFolderPath ($folder = $namespace.getDefaultFolder) $folder = $namespace.getDefaultFolder($olFolders::olFolderInBox) $folder.items
There are many articles and sample script of how to use PowerShell to do thing in Outlook and any Office app. Even posts I've made on this very forum.
Get-Process outlook*
When typing the code, and enter the -Name parameter and spacebar, each processname/servicename will popup a list to select one.Also, what are you doing the below, you are trying to call Outlook, then shutting it down, and then trying to run interop code.There should never be a reason to have multiple copies of Outlook.exe running. If you are calling into Outlook via code, then you should be closing it when you are done and before any subsequent runs.
sleep 3
Always use full cmdlet names in scripts and parameters. Short names are great for interactive quick keyboard stuff, but not in scripts.
So, stuff like..
Start-Sleep -Seconds 3
... instead. Yet, it's a choice. Yet again, see the Best Practices links I show in my references
PowerShell is explicitly verbose to make code easier to read, understand, maintain and pass on to others or for those who will follow you. A lot of posts online will use shorthand stuff, to save space, and because of their own coding habits.
None of what you have remaining, will fully work, because you have not set your environment correctly.Well, that and the code is not correct. If you are doing this in the ISE/VSCode, those red squiggles are specific errors that must be corrected.
Please see these PowerShell with Outlook referencesPowerShell - Managing an Outlook Mailbox with PowerShellhttps://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/dn189202.aspxhttps://devblogs.microsoft.com/scripting/use-powershell-to-data-mine-your-outlook-inbox

Lupo by Wolfgang Puck
Hours may not be accurate
3950 Las Vegas Blvd S
Las Vegas, NV 89119
Lupo at the Mandalay Bay is Wolfgang Puck's premier Italian restaurant, so leave any reservations you might have at the door (except the one you made). The dining room is akin to an old-fashioned Italian trattoria that had a facelift to match its owner's; while there are antique furnishings and an exposed-beam ceiling, the spacious bar has geometric lines that mirror the modern white chandeliers that hang above. But there is nothing inauthentic about Lupo; the Roman-inspired pizzas, pastas, and meats marry traditional recipes with innovative ingredients, like lasagna "Della Nonna" made with spinach pasta or the ravioli made with burrata. With pasta made fresh daily in a glass-enclosed area in the dining area, Lupo involves its patrons in the culinary process from prep to plate.

Managing Space membership by adding and removing Team Members from Spaces ensures that only the desired team members have access to shared data. A Space admin may add a Team Member to a Space.
How do I add a member to a space?
First, select the correct Space. Once the correct Space is selected, select the dropdown arrow next to the Space name above, and then select "Add Members…"
The "Invite to…" window will be displayed, showing the Space admin every team member who can be invited to the space. Note that a user must be added to the Team before they can be added to a Space. Add a member to the Space by selecting the + icon next to their user name.
Whenever multiple members exist in a Space, it is no longer considered a Personal Space and immediately becomes a Shared Space in which all users can view and interact with all files.
How do I remove a member from a space?
- With the correct Space selected, select the dropdown arrow next to the Space name above, and then select "Space Members."
- When the "Space Members" are displayed, click on the name of the member who should be removed. The member's profile will be shown; the profile displays a padlock icon, their avatar, name, and Account ID. Select the padlock icon and choose "Remove from Space" from the pop-up menu.
Removing a team member from a Shared Space requires confirmation from the admin. Select "Remove Member" upon the confirmation screen and the member will be immediately removed.
Special scenarios and extra considerations
Space Membership is flexible - a member who is removed from a Shared Space can always be added back.
If a Space does not have an admin, users may not be added or removed. Admins should avoid leaving a Space before confirming the Space still has another admin. (Please note that a future version of CrossClave will implement a Recovery Phrase that will allow recovery of these Spaces, and promotion of a new Admin. This feature is not yet implemented.)

Now that I've got that song stuck in your head.... it's Christmas time at Unity! Yes. You heard me right! Today, all of the Unity girls will be Hip Hoppin' to the sound of Christmas music! It's never too early to start thinking about those holiday cards and gifts! After all, Christmas is only 6 months away!!! As always, start your blog hop at the Unity Blog and make your way through the links to see a lot of festive inspiration!
One of my favorite images from the June Kit of the Month (KOM) is this pear tree. The kit comes with a variety of sentiments, so it can be used any time of the year. I embossed the image in black and then colored in bits and pieces with Prismacolor pencils. The little ruffled edge was created by cutting a strip of patterned paper & lightly misting it with water. This makes the paper very pliable and much easier to manipulate. I just ran a strip of adhesive on the back edge and ruffled the paper, adhering it as I went along.
And... here is the inside of my card. The sheet music is a Jenni Bowlin rub-on & the sentiment is from the June KOM.
And... for those of you who just can't get into the Christmas spirit yet.... here are a couple other non-holiday cards I made:
I used stamps from the Confession set to create the card below. I stamped the circular image directly onto denim and cut out the center with my Cuttlebug.
And... this card uses images from the Folk Inspiration set. I stamped the quilt image onto more denim and cut out my butterfly using a Spellbinder's die. The background is also lightly stamped with the same quilt image. I stamped a little swirl coming from the butterfly onto an October Afternoon journaling card & the sentiment comes from the June KOM.
Whew! If you made it all the way through this post, then head over to see some great inspiration from:

When we acquired a grand piano, we thought that it could be shared with other people in the area. Here came the idea of piano practice studio. So, if you would like to play our piano, you are welcome to the studio, where there are some other musical instruments as well. And there is no charge associated with the use of the studio.
By the way, this studio is for those who are intrinsically motivated and self-directed (we believe that these are the essential elements for any kind of learning). For those who want to take a lesson or get instructions, there are plenty of other places in the area.
Note: Our piano needs to be tuned regularly and maintained/repaired as needed. And we are doing this ourselves. If you are interested in these aspects, please join our Piano Tuning/Maintenance Project.
Musical instruments and other relevant devices:
Studio availability: For the time being, the studio is closed to visitors. [March 2020]
Advance reservations are necessary. Due to unexpected conditions, there may be cases when we need to cancel reservations or ask the guests to leave.
Location: Ewing, NJ (near the intersection of Pennington Road and Charles Ewing Blvd.)
Note: Since the studio is part of a private residence, it needs to be used as such. In fact, the "studio" is just a living room and is not sound proof, actually, not even closed. And someone in the household will always be present. So, the sound from the instruments will be heard by us. At the same time, the guests may hear various household sounds, including the sound of cooking and cleaning. If the guests need to practice completely privately or without hearing other sounds, the digital piano with headphones can be used for that purpose. There is one more thing; the guests will be asked to take off their shoes.
Inquiry/Reservation: Please contact us through this contact form ( Wordpress site). For a reservation, we ask for (1) the guest's full name and (2) the emergency contact information such as a cell phone number. It is all right to cancel a reservation; however, we expect that the guest kindly notify us as soon as possible.
About Community Resource-Sharing Projects: We hope that there be more community resource-sharing projects. For example, would someone be willing to start a tool-sharing program?

Air Pollution from World War Ii Production
Air pollution From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search Air pollution from World War II production Smog over Santiago, Chile Air pollution is the introduction of chemicals, particulate matter, or biological materials that cause harm or discomfort to humans or other living organisms, or damages the natural environment into the atmosphere. The atmosphere is a complex dynamic natural gaseous system that is essential to support life on planet Earth.Stratospheric ozone depletion due to air pollution has long been recognized as a threat to human health as well as to the Earth's ecosystems. Indoor air pollution and urban air quality are listed as two of the world's worst pollution problems in the 2008 Blacksmith Institute World's Worst Polluted Places report. [1] Contents[hide] * 1 Pollutants * 2 Sources * 2. 1 Emission factors * 3 Indoor air quality (IAQ) * 4 Health effects * 4. 1 Effects on cystic fibrosis * 4. 2 Effects on COPD * 4. Effects on children * 4. 4 Heal th effects in relatively ââ¬Å"cleanâ⬠areas * 5 Reduction efforts * 5. 1 Control devices * 6 Legal regulations * 7 Cities * 8 Carbon dioxide emissions * 9 Atmospheric dispersion * 10 Environmental impacts of greenhouse gas pollutants * 11 See also * 12 References * 13 External links| [edit] Pollutants Main articles: Pollutant and Greenhouse gas Before flue gas desulfurization was installed, the emissions from this power plant in New Mexico contained excessive amounts of sulfur dioxide.Schematic drawing, causes and effects of air pollution: (1) greenhouse effect, (2) particulate contamination, (3) increased UV radiation, (4) acid rain, (5) increased ozone concentration, (6) increased levels of nitrogen oxides An air pollutant is known as a substance in the air that can cause harm to humans and the environment. Pollutants can be in the form of solid particles, liquid droplets, or gases. In addition, they may be natural or man-made. [2] Pollutants can be classified as either pri mary or secondary.Usually, primary pollutants are substances directly emitted from a process, such as ash from a volcanic eruption, the carbon monoxide gas from a motor vehicle exhaust or sulfur dioxide released from factories. Secondary pollutants are not emitted directly. Rather, they form in the air when primary pollutants react or interact. An important example of a secondary pollutant is ground level ozoneà ââ¬â one of the many secondary pollutants that make up photochemical smog. Note that some pollutants may be both primary and secondary: that is, they are both emitted directly and formed from other primary pollutants.About 4 percent of deaths in the United States can be attributed to air pollution, according to the Environmental Science Engineering Program at the Harvard School of Public Health. Major primary pollutants produced by human activity include: * Sulfur oxides (SOx) ââ¬â especially sulfur dioxide, a chemical compound with the formula SO2. SO2 is produced by volcanoes and in various industrial processes. Since coal and petroleum often contain sulfur compounds, their combustion generates sulfur dioxide. Further oxidation of SO2, usually in the presence of a catalyst such as NO2, forms H2SO4, and thus acid rain. 2] This is one of the causes for concern over the environmental impact of the use of these fuels as power sources. * Nitrogen oxides (NOx) ââ¬â especially nitrogen dioxide are emitted from high temperature combustion. Can be seen as the brown haze dome above or plume downwind of cities. Nitrogen dioxide is the chemical compound with the formula NO2. It is one of the several nitrogen oxides. This reddish-brown toxic gas has a characteristic sharp, biting odor. NO2 is one of the most prominent air pollutants. * Carbon monoxide ââ¬â is a colourless, odourless, non-irritating but very poisonous gas.It is a product by incomplete combustion of fuel such as natural gas, coal or wood. Vehicular exhaust is a major source of car bon monoxide. * Carbon dioxide (CO2) ââ¬â a greenhouse gas emitted from combustion but is also a gas vital to living organisms. It is a natural gas in the atmosphere. * Volatile organic compounds ââ¬â VOCs are an important outdoor air pollutant. In this field they are often divided into the separate categories of methane (CH4) and non-methane (NMVOCs). Methane is an extremely efficient greenhouse gas which contributes to enhanced global warming. Other hydrocarbon VOCs are lso significant greenhouse gases via their role in creating ozone and in prolonging the life of methane in the atmosphere, although the effect varies depending on local air quality. Within the NMVOCs, the aromatic compounds benzene, toluene and xylene are suspected carcinogens and may lead to leukemia through prolonged exposure. 1,3-butadiene is another dangerous compound which is often associated with industrial uses. * Particulate matter ââ¬â Particulates, alternatively referred to as particulate matt er (PM) or fine particles, are tiny particles of solid or liquid suspended in a gas.In contrast, aerosol refers to particles and the gas together. Sources of particulate matter can be man made or natural. Some particulates occur naturally, originating from volcanoes, dust storms, forest and grassland fires, living vegetation, and sea spray. Human activities, such as the burning of fossil fuels in vehicles, power plants and various industrial processes also generate significant amounts of aerosols. Averaged over the globe, anthropogenic aerosolsââ¬âthose made by human activitiesââ¬âcurrently account for about 10 percent of the total amount of aerosols in our atmosphere.Increased levels of fine particles in the air are linked to health hazards such as heart disease,[3] altered lung function and lung cancer. * Persistent free radicals connected to airborne fine particles could cause cardiopulmonary disease. [4][5] * Toxic metals, such as lead, cadmium and copper. * Chlorofluoro carbons (CFCs) ââ¬â harmful to the ozone layer emitted from products currently banned from use. * Ammonia (NH3) ââ¬â emitted from agricultural processes. Ammonia is a compound with the formula NH3. It is normally encountered as a gas with a characteristic pungent odor.Ammonia contributes significantly to the nutritional needs of terrestrial organisms by serving as a precursor to foodstuffs and fertilizers. Ammonia, either directly or indirectly, is also a building block for the synthesis of many pharmaceuticals. Although in wide use, ammonia is both caustic and hazardous. * Odorsà ââ¬â such as from garbage, sewage, and industrial processes * Radioactive pollutants ââ¬â produced by nuclear explosions, war explosives, and natural processes such as the radioactive decay of radon. Secondary pollutants include: Particulate matter formed from gaseous primary pollutants and compounds in photochemical smog. Smog is a kind of air pollution; the word ââ¬Å"smogâ⬠is a portmanteau of smoke and fog. Classic smog results from large amounts of coal burning in an area caused by a mixture of smoke and sulfur dioxide. Modern smog does not usually come from coal but from vehicular and industrial emissions that are acted on in the atmosphere by sunlight to form secondary pollutants that also combine with the primary emissions to form photochemical smog. Ground level ozone (O3) formed from NOx and VOCs. Ozone (O3) is a key constituent of the troposphere (it is also an important constituent of certain regions of the stratosphere commonly known as the Ozone layer). Photochemical and chemical reactions involving it drive many of the chemical processes that occur in the atmosphere by day and by night. At abnormally high concentrations brought about by human activities (largely the combustion of fossil fuel), it is a pollutant, and a constituent of smog. Peroxyacetyl nitrate (PAN) ââ¬â similarly formed from NOx and VOCs. Minor air pollutants include: * A la rge number of minor hazardous air pollutants. Some of these are regulated in USA under the Clean Air Act and in Europe under the Air Framework Directive. * A variety of persistent organic pollutants, which can attach to particulate matter. Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are organic compounds that are resistant to environmental degradation through chemical, biological, and photolytic processes.Because of this, they have been observed to persist in the environment, to be capable of long-range transport, bioaccumulate in human and animal tissue, biomagnify in food chains, and to have potential significant impacts on human health and the environment. [edit] Sources Main article: AP 42 Compilation of Air Pollutant Emission Factors Dust storm approaching Stratford, Texas Controlled burning of a field outside of Statesboro, Georgia in preparation for spring planting Sources of air pollution refer to the various locations, activities or factors which are responsible for the releasing of pollutants n the atmosphere. These sources can be classified into two major categories which are: Anthropogenic sources (human activity) mostly related to burning different kinds of fuel * ââ¬Å"Stationary Sourcesâ⬠include smoke stacks of power plants, manufacturing facilities (factories) and waste incinerators, as well as furnaces and other types of fuel-burning heating devices * ââ¬Å"Mobile Sourcesâ⬠include motor vehicles, marine vessels, aircraft and the effect of sound etc. * Chemicals, dust and controlled burn practices in agriculture and forestry management.Controlled or prescribed burning is a technique sometimes used in forest management, farming, prairie restoration or greenhouse gas abatement. Fire is a natural part of both forest and grassland ecology and controlled fire can be a tool for foresters. Controlled burning stimulates the germination of some desirable forest trees, thus renewing the forest. * Fumes from paint, hair spray, varnish, aerosol spra ys and other solvents * Waste deposition in landfills, which generate methane. Methane is not toxic; however, it is highly flammable and may form explosive mixtures with air.Methane is also an asphyxiant and may displace oxygen in an enclosed space. Asphyxia or suffocation may result if the oxygen concentration is reduced to below 19. 5% by displacement * Military, such as nuclear weapons, toxic gases, germ warfare and rocketry Natural sources * Dust from natural sources, usually large areas of land with little or no vegetation. * Methane, emitted by the digestion of food by animals, for example cattle. * Radon gas from radioactive decay within the Earth's crust. Radon is a colorless, odorless, naturally occurring, radioactive noble gas that is formed from the decay of radium.It is considered to be a health hazard. Radon gas from natural sources can accumulate in buildings, especially in confined areas such as the basement and it is the second most frequent cause of lung cancer, aft er cigarette smoking. * Smoke and carbon monoxide from wildfires. * Volcanic activity, which produce sulfur, chlorine, and ash particulates. [edit] Emission factors Main article: AP 42 Compilation of Air Pollutant Emission Factors Air pollutant emission factors are representative values that attempt to relate the quantity of a pollutant released to the ambient air with an activity associated with the release of that pollutant.These factors are usually expressed as the weight of pollutant divided by a unit weight, volume, distance, or duration of the activity emitting the pollutant (e. g. , kilograms of particulate emitted per megagram of coal burned). Such factors facilitate estimation of emissions from various sources of air pollution. In most cases, these factors are simply averages of all available data of acceptable quality, and are generally assumed to be representative of long-term averages. The United States Environmental Protection Agency has published a compilation of air p ollutant emission factors for a multitude of industrial sources. 6] The United Kingdom, Australia, Canada and many other countries have published similar compilations, as well as the European Environment Agency. [7][8][9][10][11] [edit] Indoor air quality (IAQ) Main article: Indoor air quality A lack of ventilation indoors concentrates air pollution where people often spend the majority of their time. Radon (Rn) gas, a carcinogen, is exuded from the Earth in certain locations and trapped inside houses. Building materials including carpeting and plywood emit formaldehyde (H2CO) gas. Paint and solvents give off volatile organic compounds (VOCs) as they dry.Lead paint can degenerate into dust and be inhaled. Intentional air pollution is introduced with the use of air fresheners, incense, and other scented items. Controlled wood fires in stoves and fireplaces can add significant amounts of smoke particulates into the air, inside and out. [12] Indoor pollution fatalities may be caused by using pesticides and other chemical sprays indoors without proper ventilation. Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning and fatalities are often caused by faulty vents and chimneys, or by the burning of charcoal indoors. Chronic carbon monoxide poisoning can result even from poorly adjusted pilot lights.Traps are built into all domestic plumbing to keep sewer gas, hydrogen sulfide, out of interiors. Clothing emits tetrachloroethylene, or other dry cleaning fluids, for days after dry cleaning. Though its use has now been banned in many countries, the extensive use of asbestos in industrial and domestic environments in the past has left a potentially very dangerous material in many localities. Asbestosis is a chronic inflammatory medical condition affecting the tissue of the lungs. It occurs after long-term, heavy exposure to asbestos from asbestos-containing materials in structures.Sufferers have severe dyspnea (shortness of breath) and are at an increased risk regarding several different typ es of lung cancer. As clear explanations are not always stressed in non-technical literature, care should be taken to distinguish between several forms of relevant diseases. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO)[dead link], these may defined as; asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma (generally a very rare form of cancer, when more widespread it is almost always associated with prolonged exposure to asbestos). Biological sources of air pollution are also found indoors, as gases and airborne particulates.Pets produce dander, people produce dust from minute skin flakes and decomposed hair, dust mites in bedding, carpeting and furniture produce enzymes and micrometre-sized fecal droppings, inhabitants emit methane, mold forms in walls and generates mycotoxins and spores, air conditioning systems can incubate Legionnaires' disease and mold, and houseplants, soil and surrounding gardens can produce pollen, dust, and mold. Indoors, the lack of air circulation allows these ai rborne pollutants to accumulate more than they would otherwise occur in nature. edit] Health effects The World Health Organization states that 2. 4 million people die each year from causes directly attributable to air pollution, with 1. 5 million of these deaths attributable to indoor air pollution. [13] ââ¬Å"Epidemiological studies suggest that more than 500,000 Americans die each year from cardiopulmonary disease linked to breathing fine particle air pollution. . . ââ¬Å"[14] A study by the University of Birmingham has shown a strong correlation between pneumonia related deaths and air pollution from motor vehicles. 15] Worldwide more deaths per year are linked to air pollution than to automobile accidents. [citation needed] Published in 2005 suggests that 310,000 Europeans die from air pollution annually. [citation needed] Causes of deaths include aggravated asthma, emphysema, lung and heart diseases, and respiratory allergies. [citation needed] The US EPA estimates that a pro posed set of changes in diesel engine technology (Tier 2) could result in 12,000 fewer premature mortalities, 15,000 fewer heart attacks, 6,000 fewer emergency room visits by children with asthma, and 8,900 fewer espiratory-related hospital admissions each year in the United States. [citation needed] The worst short term civilian pollution crisis in India was the 1984 Bhopal Disaster. [16] Leaked industrial vapors from the Union Carbide factory, belonging to Union Carbide, Inc. , U. S. A. , killed more than 25,000 people outright and injured anywhere from 150,000 to 600,000. The United Kingdom suffered its worst air pollution event when the December 4 Great Smog of 1952 formed over London. In six days more than 4,000 died, and 8,000 more died within the following months. citation needed] An accidental leak of anthrax spores from a biological warfare laboratory in the former USSR in 1979 near Sverdlovsk is believed to have been the cause of hundreds of civilian deaths. [citation need ed] The worst single incident of air pollution to occur in the United States of America occurred in Donora, Pennsylvania in late October, 1948, when 20 people died and over 7,000 were injured. [17] The health effects caused by air pollutants may include difficulty in breathing, wheezing, coughing and aggravation of existing respiratory and cardiac conditions.These effects can result in increased medication use, increased doctor or emergency room visits, more hospital admissions and premature death. The human health effects of poor air quality are far reaching, but principally affect the body's respiratory system and the cardiovascular system. Individual reactions to air pollutants depend on the type of pollutant a person is exposed to, the degree of exposure, the individual's health status and genetics. citation needed] A new economic study of the health impacts and associated costs of air pollution in the Los Angeles Basin and San Joaquin Valley of Southern California shows that mo re than 3800 people die prematurely (approximately 14 years earlier than normal) each year because air pollution levels violate federal standards. The number of annual premature deaths is considerably higher than the fatalities related to auto collisions in the same area, which average fewer than 2,000 per year. 18] Diesel exhaust (DE) is a major contributor to combustion derived particulate matter air pollution. In several human experimental studies, using a well validated exposure chamber setup, DE has been linked to acute vascular dysfunction and increased thrombus formation. [19][20] This serves as a plausible mechanistic link between the previously described association between particulate matter air pollution and increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. [edit] Effects on cystic fibrosis Main article: Cystic fibrosisA study from around the years of 1999 to 2000, by the University of Washington, showed that patients near and around particulate matter air pollution had a n increased risk of pulmonary exacerbations and decrease in lung function. [21] Patients were examined before the study for amounts of specific pollutants like Pseudomonas aeruginosa or Burkholderia cenocepacia as well as their socioeconomic standing. Participants involved in the study were located in the United States in close proximity to an Environmental Protection Agency. clarification needed] During the time of the study 117 deaths were associated with air pollution. Many patients in the study lived in or near large metropolitan areas in order to be close to medical help. These same patients had higher level of pollutants found in their system because of more emissions in larger cities. As cystic fibrosis patients already suffer from decreased lung function, everyday pollutants such as smoke, emissions from automobiles, tobacco smoke and improper use of indoor heating devices could further compromise lung function. 22] [edit] Effects on COPD Main article: Chronic obstructive pu lmonary disease Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) include diseases such as chronic bronchitis, emphysema, and some forms of asthma. [23] A study conducted in 1960-1961 in the wake of the Great Smog of 1952 compared 293 London residents with 477 residents of Gloucester, Peterborough, and Norwich, three towns with low reported death rates from chronic bronchitis. All subjects were male postal truck drivers aged 40 to 59.Compared to the subjects from the outlying towns, the London subjects exhibited more severe respiratory symptoms (including cough, phlegm, and dyspnea), reduced lung function (FEV1 and peak flow rate), and increased sputum production and purulence. The differences were more pronounced for subjects aged 50 to 59. The study controlled for age and smoking habits, so concluded that air pollution was the most likely cause of the observed differences. [24] It is believed that much like cystic fibrosis, by living in a more urban environment serious health hazards b ecome more apparent.Studies have shown that in urban areas patients suffer mucus hypersecretion, lower levels of lung function, and more self diagnosis of chronic bronchitis and emphysema. [25] [edit] Effects on children Cities around the world with high exposure to air pollutants have the possibility of children living within them to develop asthma, pneumonia and other lower respiratory infections as well as a low initial birth rate. Protective measures to ensure the youths' health are being taken in cities such as New Delhi, India where buses now use compressed natural gas to help eliminate the ââ¬Å"pea-soupâ⬠smog. 26] Research by the World Health Organization shows there is the greatest concentration of particulate matter particles in countries with low economic world power and high poverty and population rates. Examples of these countries include Egypt, Sudan, Mongolia, and Indonesia. The Clean Air Act was passed in 1970, however in 2002 at least 146 million Americans we re living in areas that did not meet at least one of the ââ¬Å"criteria pollutantsâ⬠laid out in the 1997 National Ambient Air Quality Standards. [27] Those pollutants included: ozone, particulate matter, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide, and lead.Because children are outdoors more and have higher minute ventilation they are more susceptible to the dangers of air pollution. [edit] Health effects in relatively ââ¬Å"cleanâ⬠areas Even in areas with relatively low levels of air pollution, public health effects can be substantial and costly. This is because effects can occur at very low levels and a large number of people can potentially breathe in such pollutants. A 2005 scientific study for the British Columbia Lung Association showed that a 1% improvement in ambient PM2. 5 and ozone concentrations will produce a $29 million in annual savings in the region in 2010. 28] This finding is based on health valuation of lethal (mortality) and sub-lethal (morbidi ty) effects. [edit] Reduction efforts There are various air pollution control technologies and land use planning strategies available to reduce air pollution. At its most basic level land use planning is likely to involve zoning and transport infrastructure planning. In most developed countries, land use planning is an important part of social policy, ensuring that land is used efficiently for the benefit of the wider economy and population as well as to protect the environment.Efforts to reduce pollution from mobile sources includes primary regulation (many developing countries have permissive regulations),[citation needed] expanding regulation to new sources (such as cruise and transport ships, farm equipment, and small gas-powered equipment such as lawn trimmers, chainsaws, and snowmobiles), increased fuel efficiency (such as through the use of hybrid vehicles), conversion to cleaner fuels (such as bioethanol, biodiesel, or conversion to electric vehicles). [edit] Control devices The following items are commonly used as pollution control devices by industry or transportation devices. They can either destroy contaminants or remove them from an exhaust stream before it is emitted into the atmosphere. * Particulate control * Mechanical collectors (dust cyclones, multicyclones) * Electrostatic precipitators An electrostatic precipitator (ESP), or electrostatic air cleaner is a particulate collection device that removes particles from a flowing gas (such as air) using the force of an induced electrostatic charge.Electrostatic precipitators are highly efficient filtration devices that minimally impede the flow of gases through the device, and can easily remove fine particulate matter such as dust and smoke from the air stream. * Baghouses Designed to handle heavy dust loads, a dust collector consists of a blower, dust filter, a filter-cleaning system, and a dust receptacle or dust removal system (distinguished from air cleaners which utilize disposable filters to remove the dust). * * Particulate scrubbersWet scrubber is a form of pollution control technology.The term describes a variety of devices that use pollutants from a furnace flue gas or from other gas streams. In a wet scrubber, the polluted gas stream is brought into contact with the scrubbing liquid, by spraying it with the liquid, by forcing it through a pool of liquid, or by some other contact method, so as to remove the pollutants. * Scrubbers * Baffle spray scrubber * Cyclonic spray scrubber * Ejector venturi scrubber * Mechanically aided scrubber * Spray tower * Wet scrubber * NOx control * Low NOx burners Selective catalytic reduction (SCR) * Selective non-catalytic reduction (SNCR) * NOx scrubbers * Exhaust gas recirculation * Catalytic converter (also for VOC control) * VOC abatement * Adsorption systems, such as activated carbon * Flares * Thermal oxidizers * Catalytic oxidizers * Biofilters * Absorption (scrubbing) * Cryogenic condensers * Vapor recovery systems * Acid Ga s/SO2 control * Wet scrubbers * Dry scrubbers * Flue gas desulfurization * Mercury control * Sorbent Injection Technology * Electro-Catalytic Oxidation (ECO) K-Fuel * Dioxin and furan control * Miscellaneous associated equipment * Source capturing systems * Continuous emissions monitoring systems (CEMS) [edit] Legal regulations Smog in Cairo In general, there are two types of air quality standards. The first class of standards (such as the U. S. National Ambient Air Quality Standards) set maximum atmospheric concentrations for specific pollutants. Environmental agencies enact regulations which are intended to result in attainment of these target levels.The second class (such as the North American Air Quality Index) take the form of a scale with various thresholds, which is used to communicate to the public the relative risk of outdoor activity. The scale may or may not distinguish between different pollutants. [edit] Cities Air pollution is usually concentrated in densely populated metropolitan areas, especially in developing countries where environmental regulations are relatively lax or nonexistent. However, even populated areas in developed countries attain unhealthy levels of pollution. [edit] Carbon dioxide emissionsMost Polluted World Cities by PM[29]| Particulate matter, ?g/m?

The principal methodologies are: * Point source dispersion, used for industrial sources. * Line source dispersion, used for airport and roadway air dispersion modeling * Area source dispersion, used for forest fires or duststorms * Photochemical models, used to analyze reactive pollutants that form smogVisualization of a buoyant Gaus sian air pollution dispersion plume as used in many atmospheric dispersion models The point source problem is the best understood, since it involves simpler mathematics and has been studied for a long period of time, dating back to about the year 1900. It uses a Gaussian dispersion model for buoyant pollution plumes to forecast the air pollution isopleths, with consideration given to wind velocity, stack height, emission rate and stability class (a measure of atmospheric turbulence). [31][32] This model has been extensively validated and calibrated with experimental data for all sorts of atmospheric conditions.The roadway air dispersion model was developed starting in the late 1950s and early 1960s in response to requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act and the U. S. Department of Transportation (then known as the Federal Highway Administration) to understand impacts of proposed new highways upon air quality, especially in urban areas. Several research groups were activ e in this model development, among which were: the Environmental Research and Technology (ERT) group in Lexington, Massachusetts, the ESL Inc. roup in Sunnyvale, California and the California Air Resources Board group in Sacramento, California. The research of the ESL group received a boost with a contract award from the United States Environmental Protection Agency to validate a line source model using sulfur hexafluoride as a tracer gas. This program was successful in validating the line source model developed by ESL inc. Some of the earliest uses of the model were in court cases involving highway air pollution, the Arlington, Virginia portion of Interstate 66 and the New Jersey Turnpike widening project through East Brunswick, New Jersey.Area source models were developed in 1971 through 1974 by the ERT and ESL groups, but addressed a smaller fraction of total air pollution emissions, so that their use and need was not as widespread as the line source model, which enjoyed hundreds of different applications as early as the 1970s. Similarly photochemical models were developed primarily in the 1960s and 1970s, but their use was more specialized and for regional needs, such as understanding smog formation in Los Angeles, California.

MONTREAL - What scares George A. Romero, the director credited with creating the modern zombie horror genre with his landmark "Night of the Living Dead"?
"Rob Ford," he says, bursting into laughter.
The New York-born Romero, who moved to Toronto about a decade ago after marrying a Canadian, didn't elaborate on why the controversial mayor gives him the shivers, but he's pretty clear that current horror movies aren't rattling him.
There are "very few horror films that I think are worth their salt," says Romero, who has directed several other "Dead" movies as well as "Creepshow" and the Stephen King-inspired "Monkey Shines," among others.
"Oddly, I'm not a big horror fan," he says. His favourite movie is, in fact, 1951's fantasy opera "The Tales of Hoffmann."
"I like the oldies," Romero says. "I find that the craftsmanship ... the amount of time that they had to shoot them, it just makes me drool."
Romero points out he's never done a horror movie just for the sake of being horrifying.
"The horror films that I've made have been satirical in one way or another or political and I really think that's the purpose of horror. I don't see that happening very often."
Romero's "Night of the Living Dead" was shot for $114,000 in black and white in 1968. Considered the father of the modern zombie flick, its tale of people besieged by shambling, grunting reanimated corpses is considered a landmark film now and has been endlessly examined for its social and political messages.
It is even in the permanent collection of New York's Museum of Modern Art where it was screened in May with the warning, "Attendees are reminded: NO BITING IN THE AUDIENCE."
Romero will be a guest of honour at this weekend's Montreal Comiccon, kicking off his appearance with a screening of "Night of the Living Dead" on Friday.
Fans won't just be saluting his cinematic legacy, however. He's also in the midst of writing "Empire of the Dead," a 15-issue comic book series for Marvel.
Romero doesn't mind not making zombie movies for a while.
"It seems like everybody's doing it. I'm happy to be taking a little break from it and doing this."
The 74-year-old says comic book creation has a different rhythm than making a film. For example, you're working with an artist and there are often adjustments that have to be made before the book goes to press.
"It's a surprisingly slow process," he says. "Writing it is really just the start."
Romero, who says he was always interested in horror going back to when he was a kid devouring the lurid EC Comics and watching the old "Flash Gordon" sci-fi serials, made "Night of the Living Dead" when he was living in Pittsburgh.
It was there he got his start in movies, while working for local TV station WQED on "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood." He laughs that a short film on tonsillectomies he made for the children's show launched his horror movie career.
"I often joke about it and say that was the scariest movie I ever made."
He describes Rogers, who he says gave him his first job as a filmmaker, as "a wonderful guy. Just a great guy."
But while the soft-spoken children's show icon was always keen to give people a break, he had his limits when it came to one idea for "Night of the Living Dead."
"I originally wanted a local actress named Betty Aberlin, who was Lady Aberlin on 'Mister Rogers' Neighborhood,'" Romero says. "He wouldn't allow that. I originally wanted to use her in the role of Barbra and Fred put his foot down and said no."
Barbra is the female lead who gradually descends into insanity as the zombies attack the farmhouse where she's cowering.
That casting decision was where Rogers' opposition ended, however.
"He loved the film," Romero says. "He came and loved it. He was always a huge supporter over the years."
The filmmaker, who points out he never called his monsters zombies in "Night of the Living Dead," laments the trend to big-budget special effects-driven movies about the undead.
Romero is not a fan of such flicks as "World War Z," which depicts a more nimble version of the creatures, although he acknowledges friend Max Brooks' book is so wide-ranging it would take several movies to do it justice.
Romero also declined a chance to direct an episode of the popular TV drama "The Walking Dead," calling it a "soap opera" although he says he liked the first few seasons and the graphic novel it's based on.
He warns that big budgets are no guarantee of success, saying "way too much money" was spent on his "Land of the Dead," which got overshadowed at the box office by "Batman Begins" in 2005.
Romero says he believes "Night of the Living Dead" has endured because it has a solid story, but even he is surprised by its longevity.
"There's a story there and it's not about the zombies," he explains, pointing out he had considered making the danger in the film a hurricane or the aftermath of an atomic bomb. "The zombies could be anything. They could be any disaster."
He says he enjoys living in Canada and praises Canadian crews he has worked with because he says they really care about the end product.
"The work ethic is just sensational up here."

I'm 22. When I was 17, I fell in love with an older guy who cheated on me countless girls. He broke it off because I confronted the other girls and I subsequently fell into a severe depression. I cut him out of my life for a while, but last year he got in touch asking for forgiveness and I agreed (I love the guy). We went on a trip with friends and we ended up making out. I then found out after we got back that he was getting engaged to another girl and had hidden it. He told me he was about to tell me, so I let it go.
But we haven't talked at all in the last month and he is getting married in 2 days and I'm a complete emotional wreck. I'm super depressed and desperately need help. People tell me to let go or not to think about it but I can't. I just love him so much and have been single since he left me. I'm shattered. I really need some expert advice. Manal
Manal, I'm sorry you're suffering so much. But whoever's telling you to let go is right. It's time. You've carried this heartbreak for too long, and from where I'm sitting, your ongoing devotion to this guy is a worry and in light of his behaviour, undeserved in just about every way possible and then some.
Promise you'll do a few things for me: 1) Go back to the doctor. Get a referral and talk to a psychologist. 2) Talk to a few friends and family members who'll take you and your feelings seriously. You need ongoing support right now from those who are close to you, and you need them to know the extent of how you're feeling. 3) Thirdly, and so importantly, do a tech cleanse and take him out of your phone, block his email, unfollow him on Twitter, Facebook (especially Facebook – the last thing you need to see are the wedding happy snaps), Instagram, Tumbler and anywhere else you have online ties to him.
I'm betting marriage won't reform your ex, and he may try to reel you back in at some point in the future. Don't let that happen. To move on and heal and believe there are better things ahead, you really need to cut him out of your life for good.
Love, reality chick
