With animated movies like “Chicken Little” and blockbusters franchise films like “Harry Potter” arriving in theaters around the same time as “Pride and Prejudice” it is clear that the film’s producers are not going after big box office returns. They want to strike award show gold. |
Knightly and Macfadyen are sure to receive studio driven Golden Globe and Oscar publicity. |
The stars of the English remake, however, will be up against Joaqin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon who embody two American icons in an original screenplay. The combination should be enough for one or both to “Walk The Line” on Oscar night. |
What the film does offer is an opportunity for set designers, costumers, makeup artist and musicians to take center stage. |
“Pride and Prejudice” looks brilliant, the costumes and set transport viewers to a time when aggressive women were an oddity and men being cads was socially acceptable. |
History and tradition are on full display. If there is an Oscar to be won the film’s visual design areas would win. |
History and tradition do not change that fact there is no real anticipation for fans of Austen or anyone who has seen one of the many remakes. |
For anyone unfamiliar with the story, “Pride and Prejudice” does not disappoint. For Austen fans and frequent, moviegoers save the $10 and see the movie on DVD. |

A naked woman was arrested on suspicion of arson and resisting arrest after officials responded to a fire Tuesday night at upscale apartments in Uptown Dallas. |
Just after 8 p.m., a passer-by called Dallas Fire-Rescue to report growing flames on a third-floor balcony at The Mondrian Luxury Apartments in the 3000 block of Blackburn Street. That fire was quickly put out. |
About two and a half hours later, firefighters were called again when a smoky haze blurred a second-floor window. |
Temilade Adekunle, 26, was in the process of being evicted from the building, according to an arrest-warrant affidavit. |
She intentionally started a fire in her apartment oven, police said, then lashed out violently at officers. One officer used a stun gun on her, according to the affidavit, and she was tied down naked on a stretcher to be loaded into an ambulance. |
Adekunle was booked into the Dallas County jail after being taken to a hospital for observation. She faces charges of arson and resisting arrest; her bail was set at $6,000. |
During the first half of 2015, one might have said that outsourcing in the UK has seen better days. Come July, the situation drastically changes, with the government playing a pivotal role in the resurgence of remote work. |
By the end of the year, a total of £5.67 billion of UK outsourcing agreements were signed in 2015 but, more importantly, the public sector spend in the second half of 2015 rose 55 per cent, compared to the first half. |
Public sector organisations have agreed deals worth £2.31 billion, while the private sector spending lost momentum in the final two quarters, falling 42 per cent to £688 million. According to the new data by arvato, procurement focused on a mixture of HR, document management and multi-scope IT infrastructure agreements... |
The report also says that the proportion of outsourced work delivered from the UK is rising, with 6 per cent of deals signed last year being delivered completely offshore. In 2014, that number was at 9 per cent. It was also stressed that there's a lot of new work coming in, with 61 per cent of all contracts signed last... |

The EU has been in talks on trade with Washington since July 2018, when US President Donald Trump agreed to hold off new punitive tariffs while the two sides worked on ways to improve economic relations. |
European Union leaders will ask their trade ministers on March 22 to quickly approve negotiating mandates for the European Commission to start formal trade talks with the United States, draft conclusions showed. |

For several months during Bill Clinton's administration, a former top military officer says the White House lost the card with a set of numbers for opening the briefcase containing the codes for a nuclear attack. |
Gen Hugh Shelton, who was Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff at the time, said in his new memoir, "Without Hesitation: The Odyssey of an American Warrior" that "the codes were actually missing for months. That's a big deal -- a gargantuan deal." |
A similar claim was made by Lt Col Robert Patterson, a former aide, in a book published seven years ago. He was one of the men who carried the briefcase, known as the "football", and he said that the morning after the Monica Lewinsky scandal broke that he made a routine request of the president to present the card so t... |
"He thought he just placed them upstairs," Lt Col Patterson recalled. "We called upstairs, we started a search around the White House for the codes, and he finally confessed that he in fact misplaced them. He couldn't recall when he had last seen them." |
He said the President lost the card holding the codes, which is known as the biscuit, in 1998, but according to Gen Shelton, the card went missing in 2000. |
Former president Jimmy Carter was rumoured to have once left the '"biscuit" in a suit that was sent to the dry cleaners. |
MANILA, Philippines — The Department of Energy (DOE) is working to finalize the unbundling of fuel prices to put more teeth in monitoring prices of petroleum products and protect the interest of consumers within the first quarter. |
This circular will provide guidelines for the monitoring of prices of petroleum products – gasoline, automotive and industrial diesel, kerosene, jet fuel, bunker fuel oil and household and automotive liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). |
The draft circular is scheduled for one more public consultation before it is finalized and submitted for signing to the secretary, DOE undersecretary Felix William Fuentebella said. |
The consultation will be focused on the industry take’s cost component of petroleum products. |
This is the contentious part where the profit margin and operation cost of oil companies are indicated, DOE-Oil Industry Management Bureau (OIMB) director Rino Abad said. |
“There are eight major items in the cost component. Seven have been agreed to in the first consultation and the remaining item is the industry take,” he said. |
The commitment set to issue the circular is first quarter,” Abad said. |
Under the draft circular, oil companies would be required to provide a weekly notice of the price adjustments (decrease, increase or no adjustment). |
The report would also include the computation of their products’ components based on the elements involved in the international price movement which cover product cost, freight cost, insurance and foreign exchange, and in the local component which are duties, taxes, and industry take. |
The DOE policy would also require the oil companies/bulk suppliers and retail outlets to submit baseline data every end of the year for the unbundling of their base price and to comply as well with the mandatory price display board. |
The new policy is pursuant to DOE’s mandate under Republic Act 8479, or the Downstream Oil Industry Deregulation Act of 1998, to monitor both international and domestic price movements of petroleum products. |
Consumer advocacy group Laban Konsyumer Inc. has been pushing for transparency in retail prices of petroleum products as part of end-users’ right to information and to provide them access to fair and reasonable pricing of petroleum products. |
The consumer group said oil companies and the new players have practically uniform prices for diesel even as industry players procure their products differently and engage in activities such as refining, while the new players import finished products. |
