![]() ![]() “crotch bombs”) and badly-written dialog, these dramas offer easy entertainment at the expense of historical tastefulness. Over the past few years, sensational anti-Japanese dramas have flooded Chinese television, to the government’s chagrin. The film feels like an Americanized anti-Japanese drama a novel concept, though not necessarily for the right reasons. Predictably, Air Strike contains loads of death and destruction-maybe too much. ![]() An Americanized Anti-Japanese Drama Not exactly what Adrien Brody is supposed to be doing here… (Courtesy of Lionsgate) All throughout, the pilots’ lives intersect with various civilian characters, including a professor of porcine studies, a reporter from Xinhua Daily, a mahjong-loving teahouse owner, and a teacher caring for students from a bombed-out school. ![]() ![]() In futile attempts to defend Chongqing, the squadron files outmoded Poliparkov I-16 fighters against Japanese Zeros and G3M bombers-a combination bound to please aviation enthusiasts for its sheer novelty (I’ve never seen another movie with I-16s). Meanwhile, other members of Xue’s squadron train under an American advisor, Colonel Jack Johnson (played by Bruce Willis). Our primary protagonist is Xue Gangtou (played by Liu Ye), a Chinese Air Force pilot temporarily assigned to guide a truck carrying secret cargo back to military headquarters-an agonizingly difficult task given constant Japanese strafing and espionage. While it’s not a museum, Air Strike attempts to carry that torch of trauma, telling a multi-threaded story about both pilots and civilians amidst the Bombing of Chongqing. Recently, local officials have compared the Bombing of Chongqing to the Nanjing Massacre and London Blitz, calling for another museum to help remember the traumatic raids. Tens of thousands of civilians died, as China’s fledgling Air Force struggled to fend off superior Japanese equipment and numbers before assistance from allies like the US helped turn the tide.Ĭhongqing bears scars from the war even to this day: the city still has underground air raid shelters (often converted to commercial purposes) and numerous museums about WWII-related topics. Born from Tragedyīetween 19, the Japanese military conducted hundreds of air raids against Chongqing, China’s provisional capital during the Second Sino-Japanese War (which, in the West’s eyes, gets folded into World War II starting 1941). Air Strike might just go down in the annals of film history as a Sharknado-esque cult hit, and an excellent example of everything that can go wrong with making a movie in China. Just shut off your brain, listen to Bruce Willis growl, and experience a movie that has so many layers of tragedy, you can’t help but keep watching for novelty’s sake. If you’re a war movie buff or Chinese film enthusiast with a strong sense of schadenfreude, you should really watch Air Strike through non-Chinese theaters and streaming services (there’s still a US/international release). However, tragedy isn’t an excuse to avoid this movie it’s quite the opposite. This big-budget Chinese World War II movie-which stars Bruce Willis alongside a smattering of Chinese A-listers-depicts a tragic period of Chinese history, experienced a tragically arduous production process, and had its Chinese release tragically canceled at the last minute due to a tax scandal. Air Strike (formerly known as The Bombing, and Unbreakable Spirit before that) falls into all three categories. Some movies are born tragic, some movies acquire tragedy, and some movies have tragedy thrust upon them. ![]()

Once I’ve added the Resources directory the final list of files should look like this: I only want to include the first two files I can get rid of the others using the Remove button. Once defined I want to associate the JSL script Oneway Advisor to the menu item:įirst I need to identify the directory containing the include files:Īll the files in the folder are identified. I only want a single menu item, “Oneway Advisor”, to appear under the JMP Add-Ins menu. It can include periods, hyphens and underscores but not spaces. The entire string can be up to 64 characters in length. Whilst you are free to choose any value for the ID, the following naming convention is recommended by JMP: This is the only mandatory field, and must be unique to avoid conflicts with other add-ins. I need to provide a name and unique identifier for the add-in:įrom JMP’s perspective the critical piece of information is the ID. I’m now ready to use the JMP Add-In Builder. My original code assumes that my include files are in the same folder as the main script: This means changing my code to ensure that the files can still be found now that they have new relative locations. My main script is at the top-level, and then I have sub-folders containing the include files and resource files. I’m going to choose to reorganise the files so that they have the structure shown on the right-hand side. If I want Oneway Advisor to be in the “home” directory then I’d like one of the following file configurations: In particular I would like the main script ( Oneway Advisor– the one that will be attached to the Add-Ins menu) to be located in the “home” folder, and for all my other files to be visible relative to this location. Project Preparationīefore using the Add-In Builder I will save myself a lot of trouble by giving some thought to the organisation of my files. Usually we don’t care about the specific location, but it’s important to understand that all the files need to be accessed relative to this location. When the add-in is installed all the files will be deployed in a new location which is referred to as the “home” directory of the add-in. On the Menu Items tab I will identify the JSL file that is executed when a menu option is selected, and all the additional files will be identified on the Additional Files tab. On the General Info tab I will provide the name and unique identifier for my add-in. The add-in builder is launched by selecting File>New>Add-In.Ī tabbed-window is displayed into which I need to provide all relevant information. I’m going to walk through the use of the Add-In Builder by using it to create an add-in for the oneway advisor. In order for JMP to interpret the file as an add-in file, the file extension needs to be changed from zip to jmpaddin.īut there is an easier way, the Add-In Builder. It’s possible to create the zip file manually. The menu file defines where the add-in will appear on the JMP menu system, what the menu structure will look like (you are not limited to a single menu item), the names of the menu items and the actions performed when a menu selection is made. If you know that you are using new features of JMP then the definition file can also contain the minimum version of JMP required to install the add-in. The only mandatory information required for the definition is a unique identifier. The add-in definition file is a simple text file that follows a standard template. In addition to these files there are two additional files that need to be included: The zip file contains all the files associated with the JSL application (in my example there are 6 files).

However, he did wear a crown on his head and red sporty attire. He first appears without a crown and clothes. Leonard is a green pig with a dark green beard, dark green eyebrows, black eyes and a chubby build. Despite being a dimwit, he is considered the most intelligent pig as he once saw Red breaking into his castle and informed three pig guards about it. Leonard acts very honest, charming, attractive and charismatic and speaks with confident and enthusiastic manners. Leonard started off as very tyrannical, controlling and manipulative, but he later reforms in the sequel and became heroic. He never went back to his villainy, he stayed redeemed. He redeems himself during the sequel and teamed up with Red and the other birds to defeat Zeta who sent him and the pigs to capture the eggs, and get rid of her Ice Ball Machine. As the birds and pigs dance to " I Will Survive", a vengeful Leonard swears to 'hatch up' a new plan for revenge before joining in to dance with the other pigs. During the end credits, it turns out that the pigs have survived the destruction of Piggy Island, including Leonard, who is last seen sitting on the remains of his castle fuming over the destruction of his kingdom. With the pigs finally defeated, the birds head back to Bird Island with their eggs in peace. Red and the birds then make off with the eggs unscathed while Leonard and the pigs seemingly perish in the explosion. Red then shields himself and the egg by hiding inside a falling giant pot while Leonard screams as the explosives go off, destroying the castle and the rest of Piggy Island. As Leonard fell for it by thanking Red for it, Red pulls out a box full of dynamites, causing Leonard to slide down and allowing Red to retrieve the egg while the candle lights up a few dynamite. Though Leonard manages to catch the egg and is about to fry it with a candle while standing on a pile of dynamite, Red (in a rare moment of calmness) manages to trick Leonard into letting his guard down by complimenting him of his plan of stealing the eggs. With his patience finally worn out, Leonard angrily tries to take the egg from Red, resulting both of them to fall into the castle's reserve of explosives. However, one of the eggs gets loose and Red remains behind while letting Mighty Eagle, Chuck, and Bomb escape with the eggs. Eventually, Red, Chuck, and Bomb manage to infiltrate the castle and retrieve the eggs from being cooked (with the help from an arriving Mighty Eagle). Spotting the birds, Leonard orders his fellow pigs to stop them while he prepares his feast for his kingdom. As the birds finally reach Piggy Island, Red uses the giant slingshot to launch a series of attacks on the castle, deducing that the eggs are stored inside and wanting to get even with Leonard for wrecking his house. The other birds apologize to Red for not listening to him, but they feel hopeless until Red motivates them to let out their anger on the pigs in order to retrieve their eggs back.Īs Red and the birds construct a raft to head over to Piggy Island, Leonard returns back home to his castle and declares a feast as he plans to have the eggs cooked into omelets for his entire kingdom to eat. Declaring that he has finally got the eggs in his possession, Leonard happily orders his pigs to sail back to their home at Piggy Island. While Chuck attempts to warn the others, Red and Bomb attempt to retrieve the stolen eggs, but Leonard and the pigs escape in their ship and set their explosives off to destroy the village. ![]() While Leonard hosts up a disco party for the birds, Red, along with his friends Chuck and Bomb, soon learn that the pigs have implanted explosives around the island and realized that they plan to steal the eggs for food (even the disco party was nothing more than a distraction to keep the birds busy). ![]() Stealing the Eggs and Preparing the Feast As such, Leonard starts throwing out celebrations for the pigs and birds, even introducing the latter to a giant slingshot and helium balloons for fun. Red openly suspects of the pigs' motives, but the the other birds don't listen to him due to his anger issues, much to Red's dismay. Leonard then introduces himself to the birds, claiming himself and his gang to be peaceful explorers offering friendship. Leonard first appears when he and his gang of pigs arrive to Bird Island by boat, crashing onto Red's house by the shore, much to Red's distraught. ![]() Clinical manifestations and diagnosis of Neisseria gonorrhoeae infection in adults and adolescents. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. ![]() Gonorrhea: CDC fact sheet (detailed version).To avoid getting gonorrhea again, abstain from sex until after you and your sex partner have completed treatment and after symptoms are gone. Regular screening is also recommended for men who have sex with men, as well as their partners. This includes women who have a new sex partner, more than one sex partner, a sex partner with other partners, or a sex partner who has a sexually transmitted infection. Annual screening is recommended for sexually active women younger than 25 and for older women at increased risk of infection. If your partner has signs or symptoms of a sexually transmitted infection, such as burning during urination or a genital rash or sore, don't have sex with that person.Ĭonsider regular gonorrhea screening. Don't have sex with someone who appears to have a sexually transmitted infection.Before you have sex, get tested and share your results with each other. ![]() Be sure you and your partner are tested for sexually transmitted infections.Being in a monogamous relationship in which neither partner has sex with anyone else can lower your risk. But if you choose to have sex, use a condom during any type of sexual contact, including anal sex, oral sex or vaginal sex. Abstaining from sex is the surest way to prevent gonorrhea. Babies who contract gonorrhea from their mothers during birth can develop blindness, sores on the scalp and infections. People who have both gonorrhea and HIV are able to pass both diseases more readily to their partners. Having gonorrhea makes you more susceptible to infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the virus that leads to AIDS. Fever, rash, skin sores, joint pain, swelling and stiffness are possible results. The bacterium that causes gonorrhea can spread through the bloodstream and infect other parts of your body, including your joints. Infection that spreads to the joints and other areas of your body.Untreated epididymitis can lead to infertility. Gonorrhea can cause a small, coiled tube in the rear portion of the testicles where the sperm ducts are located (epididymis) to become inflamed (epididymitis). PID can result in scarring of the tubes, greater risk of pregnancy complications and infertility. Gonorrhea can spread into the uterus and fallopian tubes, causing pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). Untreated gonorrhea can lead to major complications, such as: Having had gonorrhea or another sexually transmitted infection.Having a sex partner who has other partners.Other factors that can increase your risk include: Sexually active women younger than 25 and men who have sex with men are at increased risk of getting gonorrhea. The gonorrhea bacteria are most often passed from one person to another during sexual contact, including oral, anal or vaginal intercourse. Gonorrhea is caused by the bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae. But without treatment, you can reinfect your partner even after he or she has been treated for gonorrhea. You may not experience signs or symptoms that prompt you to seek medical attention. Make an appointment with your doctor if you notice any troubling signs or symptoms, such as a burning sensation when you urinate or a pus-like discharge from your penis, vagina or rectum.Īlso make an appointment with your doctor if your partner has been diagnosed with gonorrhea. If one or more joints become infected by bacteria (septic arthritis), the affected joints might be warm, red, swollen and extremely painful, especially during movement. Signs and symptoms of a throat infection might include a sore throat and swollen lymph nodes in the neck. Gonorrhea that affects your eyes can cause eye pain, sensitivity to light, and pus-like discharge from one or both eyes. Signs and symptoms include anal itching, pus-like discharge from the rectum, spots of bright red blood on toilet tissue and having to strain during bowel movements. Gonorrhea can also affect these parts of the body: Vaginal bleeding between periods, such as after vaginal intercourse. ![]() Signs and symptoms of gonorrhea infection in women include:
