the german version of the last, available in two parallel versions, is a new and valid language screening test in stroke .
screening of aphasia in acute stroke is crucial for directing patients to early language therapy. the language screening test (last), originally developed in french, is a validated language screening test that allows detection of a language deficit within a few minutes. the aim of the present study was to develop and validate two parallel german versions of the last .

the screening revealed a series of irregularities in online comparison tools. the main irregularities related to the price and the way it was calculated and presented :
the short version of the token test was taken to analyze external validity, since this test is also used as a screening test, identical to the last. not only is the short version of the token test a measure of aphasia severity and oral comprehension, it also examines verbal short - term memory [ 17 ]. this might explain the relatively high correlation we found between the repetition subtest of the last and the token test .

the new eu - level investment screening framework will ensure transparency and predictability for investors and national governments. it will build on the national review mechanisms already in place in 12 member states [ 1 ] and will not affect eu countries' ability to adopt any new review mechanisms or to remain without such national mechanisms. when it comes to decisions on foreign direct investments, the european framework will maintain the necessary national flexibility. member states keep the last word in any investment screening .
don' t question these strange gifts the world has bestowed on us, but star wars: the last jedi is getting an early uk release .
all patients were tested with one of the two randomly allocated versions of the last in german (50 with version a, 51 with version b). seventy - eight of the patients were additionally tested with the short version of the token test [ 7 ], one of the most common screening tests, to analyze external validity. furthermore, both versions of the last were successively administered in another subset of 28 patients to evaluate equivalence of the two versions. the examiners were either physicians or language therapists. this was an important point to us, because in the clinical setting, the screening might be used by health professionals with different backgrounds .

the two german versions were equivalent as demonstrated by a high intraclass correlation coefficient of 0. 91. furthermore, an acceptable internal structure of the last was found (cronbach' s α = 0. 74). a highly significant correlation (r = 0. 74, p < 0. 0001) between the last and the short version of the token test indicated good external validity of the scale .
the last includes subtests for naming, repetition, automatic speech, and comprehension. for the translation into german, task constructs and psycholinguistic criteria for item selection were identical to the french last. a cohort of 101 stroke patients were tested, all of whom were native german speakers. validation of the last was based on (1) analysis of equivalence of the german versions, which was established by administering both versions successively in a subset of patients, (2) internal validity by means of internal consistency analysis, and (3) external validity by comparison with the short version of the token test in another subset of patients .

a european framework for screening of foreign direct investments by member states on grounds of security or public order, including transparency obligations, the rule of equal treatment among foreign investment of different origin, and the obligation to ensure adequate redress possibilities with regard to decisions adopted under these review mechanisms .
join us on monday, april 13 at 5: 30 p. m. at davidson hall on the campus of central connecticut state university in new britain, ct. the evening begins with a welcome reception with light fare. the screening begins at 6: 45 p. m .
the distribution company for tamer el said’s film akher ayam al - madina (the last days of the city, 2016) and the cairo international film festival both offered statements thursday regarding the film’s withdrawal from the official competition at the 38th edition of the festival .
the proposed regulation on screening of foreign direct investments into the eu needs the approval of the european parliament and eu member states in the council (ordinary legislative procedure). in order not to lose any time, the european commission therefore proposes in parallel to immediately proceed with two additional measures .
compared to other screening tests validated in german, the last has several advantages: it is very brief to administer and avoids the impact of preexisting dyslexia, illiteracy and hand paresis. furthermore, two equivalent parallel versions are available, which minimizes possible retest effects. health professionals with different backgrounds can easily use the test, as shown in the study by flamand - roze et al. [ 10 ]. finally, the interpretation is straightforward: patients scoring below 15 points need to be referred to a speech and language therapist for an in - depth evaluation .
exclusively targeting festival audiences, last screening (derniere séance) is a humourless little slasher that may cause some critics to sharpen their pencils and start digging into their semiotic lexicons, but will draw little attention in any other quarters. an anonymous cast, helped somewhere along the way, by the guest appearance of french film critic and historian noel simsolo, makes no attempt at real acting and its fascination with all the great female screen stars in history can hardly qualify as anything else but pretentious artistic show - off. neither scary nor engrossing, it is just unnecessarily repetitive .
the last safari follows the story of a photojournalist' s quest for meaning through the unforgiving landscape of remote kenya as she sets out in search of the tribes - people she documented a decade earlier, dodging everything from bullets and floods, to heat strokes along the way .
every year the commission coordinates the screening of websites for a particular sector, with the help of the consumer protection cooperation (cpc) network which brings together the consumer authorities of 28 countries (26 eu countries, norway and iceland). the authorities are responsible for enforcing eu consumer protection laws in the eu .
written by said and rasha salti, and shot in 2009 and 2010, in the last days of the city follows khalid abdalla as he wanders through downtown cairo. he meets old friends, remembers a lover who is now about to leave the country, and intermittently works on a documentary film .
a strong significant correlation between the last and the short version of the token test (r = 0. 74, p < 0. 0001) was found, indicating good external validity of the scale. comparing the short version of the token test with the last subtests, highest correlations were found for repetition (r = 0. 673, p < 0. 01) and for verbal command execution (r = 0. 624, p ˂ 0. 01), whereas word - picture matching showed the lowest correlation (r = 0. 472, p < 0. 01) .
“we can only continue to work hard to bring in the last days of the city to egyptian screens, ” the statement read. “no matter how much success we achieve abroad, we will not feel the true worth of our film until it’s screened at home, amongst its people — the egyptian audience. ”
the european commission unveiled proposals today to set up a european framework for screening foreign direct investment into the european union. in parallel, the commission will start a detailed analysis of the foreign direct investment flows into the eu and set up a coordination group with member states to help identify joint strategic concerns and solutions in the area of foreign direct investment .
the eu' s trade commissioner cecilia malmström said :
the aim of what we are proposing is to keep the eu open to foreign investment, with a non - discriminatory, transparent and predictable framework. a european framework for screening foreign direct investments will allow us to respond collectively and defend our european strategic interests when they are at risk. ”
european commission screening on grounds of security or public order for cases in which foreign direct investment in member states may affect projects or programmes of union interest. this includes projects and programmes in the areas of research (horizon 2020), space (galileo), transport (trans - european networks for transport, ten - t), energy (ten - e) and telecommunications .
zawya distribution, representing the egyptian director, announced that the film was withdrawn from the ciff because it had already been screened at a large number of festivals. zawya said the agreement was that the ciff screening would be its middle east and north africa premiere, and hence the team turned down other festivals in the region, such as carthage in tunis and the dubai film festival .
an acceptable internal consistency of 0. 74 for the german version of the last was found. compared to the original study [ 10 ], in which they found a value of 0. 88, our lower value could be due to the heterogeneity of the sample (including acute and subacute patients), explaining a larger error variance in our scores .
in that press release, ciff’s management referred to the world premiere of the last days in the city world at the berlinale, as well as various awards it has won, such as the caligari film prize, best director award at the buenos aires international festival of independent cinema, and the grand prix of the new horizons film festival in wroclaw, poland .
the european commission and eu consumer protection authorities launched a coordinated screening of 352 price comparison and travel booking websites across the eu in october 2016. they found that prices were not reliable on 235 websites, two thirds of the sites checked. for example, additional price elements were added at a late stage of the booking process without clearly informing the consumer or promotional prices did not correspond to any available service .
regarding the internal validity of the last on the item level, no floor or ceiling effects were found. in the subtests ‘automatic speech’ and ‘word - picture matching’, most of the subjects (88 and 84 %) reached maximum scores. these subtests thus appeared to be easier than the others. the maximum total score of 15 was reached by 25. 7% of the patients. principal component analysis revealed that the last measures one construct, which is demonstrated by one component with an eigenvalue above 1. 0, explaining 57. 7% of the variance. communalities were between 0. 32 and 0. 67, also indicating substantial common variance. the internal consistency of the 15 items was acceptable (cronbach' s α = 0. 74) .
elizabeth l. gilbert began her career as a war photographer in the 1990’s, covering some of the most tragic events in human history such as the rwandan genocide and civil war in somalia. after years of conflict, a disillusioned gilbert set out to point her cameras at the disappearing vestiges of traditional africa. she succeeded at capturing some of the very last photographs of a vanishing world .
we evaluated 101 stroke patients, aged between 33 and 91 years (mean = 71. 37, sd = 12. 28), 57% of whom were male. mean time interval between stroke and examination was 11 days (sd = 16). last scores for version a (mean = 11. 54, sd = 3. 61, range 0 - 15) did not significantly differ from those of version b (mean = 11. 92, sd = 3. 46, range 2 - 15; independent samples t test: t = −0. 374, p = 0. 710). moreover, the correlation of last - a and - b scores in the subgroup of 28 patients showed that the two versions were equivalent with an icc of 0. 91 (confidence interval 0. 81 - 0. 96) .
first, the commission will set up a coordination group on inward foreign direct investment that will cover all issues under the scope of the proposed screening regulation, but will also be a forum for wider discussions. its broad remit will include identifying sectors and assets that have strategic implications from a security, public order and / or control of critical assets point of view at national level, cross - border level or at european level. the group will be chaired by the commission and composed of representatives of all member states .
on 13 september, in his annual state of the union address, president jean - claude juncker stated :
let me say once and for all: we are not naïve free traders. europe must always defend its strategic interests. this is why today we are proposing a new eu framework for investment screening. if a foreign, state - owned, company wants to purchase a european harbour, part of our energy infrastructure or a defence technology firm, this should only happen in transparency, with scrutiny and debate. it is a political responsibility to know what is going on in our own backyard so that we can protect our collective security if needed .
the last consists of 15 items in five subtests: (1) naming of five black - and - white drawings presented on one page; (2) oral repetition of one word with 4 syllables and one sentence with 8 words (11 syllables); (3) automatic speech, i. e. counting from 1 to 10; (4) word - picture matching with four orally presented target words depicted within a set of eight pictures, with the four distractor pictures being either visually, semantically or phonologically related to one of the target words, and (5) execution of three verbal commands (simple, semicomplex, complex). a value of 1 is scored for correct answers given within 5 s, otherwise a value of 0 is scored. two subscores are then obtained by addition, one for production (naming, repetition, and automatic speech; maximum score 8 points) and one for comprehension (word - picture matching and verbal command execution; maximum score 7 points). total scores below 15 indicate a language deficit that needs further evaluation by a speech language therapist [ 10 ]. the french last showed a sensitivity of 0. 98 and a specificity of 1 [ 10 ] .
an eu - wide screening of websites (

actions have focused so far on: airlines (2007), mobile content (2008), electronic goods (2009), online tickets (2010), consumer credit (2011), digital contents (2012), travel services (2013), guarantees on electronic goods (2014) and consumer rights directive (2015) .
the present study has some limitations. first, 74% of the 101 patients were diagnosed as having a possible language deficit, i. e. they scored below 15 points in the last. the prevalence of acute aphasia after stroke is, however, estimated at 30% [ 18 ], so there might be a selection bias in our sample. indeed, many of our patients were evaluated by language therapists because of suspected communication disorders. second, the high percentage of correct answers in the subtests ‘automatic speech’ and ‘word - picture matching’ might reflect the low level of difficulty of these tasks. counting from 1 to 10 and identification of frequent words such as ‘house’ or ‘tomato’ are easy to accomplish, only patients with severe aphasia are likely to fail in these tasks. future research might use rasch analysis in order to identify the distribution of the degree of difficulty of the tasks [ 19 ]. finally, we did not evaluate the interrater reliability. however, this has already been done in the original french study, with excellent interrater reliability of 0. 998 [ 10 ] .

pascal cervo’s inexpressive performance in the leading role does not generate empathy or fear .
set in a small cinema du quartier going out of business, the plot fashioned by laurent achard and frederique moreau features a deadpan projectionist - programmer - cashier, sylvain (pascal cervo) who, once he closes down the empire cinema for the night, goes out to indulge in murderous expeditions around town, picking up single women and cutting off their ears .
the reasons for it will be ploddingly revealed in a series of melodramatic flashbacks suggesting a mother fixation combined with an inordinate affection for movies in general and for jean renoir’s french cancan in particular. for anyone who might miss early pointers, the script repeats its intentions several times, refers to an amateur theatre production of phedre and insists on the portrait of an obsessive mother (therefore plenty of jane crawford stills hanging on the wall) who wants but fails to have her son become a child star .
not really a film noir though it takes places mostly at night, nor a psychological drama because its mother fixation motives are too painfully obvious, and neither a thriller of any sort this could possibly be considered a bloody protest against the attempts to kill cinema as such, signified by sylvain’s stubborn denial of his landlord’s intention to sell the empire and turn it into a commercial surface. though, if this is the intention, it is worth mentioning there are more ways to harm the movies than just closing down one cinema .
pascal cervo’s inexpressive performance in the leading role does not generate empathy or fear, his mechanical actions could go on forever since no one appears to pay attention to the trail of bodies he leaves behind and the victims he picks at random are treated like objects that happen to cross his way. the use of renoir’s classic, which claimed that the result of an artistic effort is more important than the individual persons involved in it, is certainly not accidental, but as tributes go, french cancan deserves a more affectionate one .

we aimed at maintaining the linguistic properties of the original version such as word frequency, word and sentence length, number of syllables, and consonant clusters in the german translation, as they have an impact on language performance [ 11 ]. the german word frequencies were chosen from the celex database [ 12 ]. in the subtest ‘naming’, two stimuli out of five were replaced with lexically matched items. in the repetition part, the german stimuli were consistent with the word and sentence length in syllables, words, and number of consonant clusters of the french original. the subtest ‘automatic speech’, i. e. counting from 1 to 10, was unchanged. in the word - picture matching subtask, the items' cigarette' with the semantic distractor' pipe' and' eye' with the visual distractor' fish' were identical to the french version.' käse' (cheese) was newly chosen as a phonologically complex distractor for the item' hase' (hare) and' kanne' (tea pot) was added as phonologically simple distractor for' tanne' (fir tree) .
one hundred and one patients with stroke, all native speakers of german, were consecutively recruited at the neurology department of the lucerne kantonsspital, at the division of cognitive and restorative neurology of the department of neurology, university hospital berne, and at the spitalzentrum biel. exclusion criteria were psychiatric disorders, dementia, preexisting sensory loss, and disorders of vigilance. the study was approved by the local ethics committees .

while it becomes more and more common to book hotels and flights online, consumers are encountering a growing number of problems with online travel services. these services are now among the most frequent consumer complaints according to the european consumer centres .
authorities have asked the websites concerned to bring their practices in line with eu consumer legislation, which requires them to be fully transparent about prices, and present their offers in a clear way, at an early stage of the booking process .
věra jourová, commissioner for justice, consumers and gender equality, said :
the internet provides consumers with plenty of information to prepare, compare and book their holidays. however, if the reviews on comparison websites are biased or prices are not transparent, these websites are misleading consumers. the companies concerned need to respect the european consumer rules, just like a travel agent would. consumer authorities will now require the websites to solve these issues. consumers deserve the same protection online as offline .
what you believe you' ll pay, is it what you will actually pay? in one third of the cases, the price first shown is not the same as the final price .
is it an offer or is it just bait? in one fifth of the cases, promotional offers were not really available .
puzzled mind or puzzled price? in almost one third of the cases the total price or the way it was calculated was not clear .
the 235 websites with irregularities will have to correct the irregularities. consumer protection cooperation authorities will ensure they comply by activating their national enforcement procedures .
the cpc authorities of 28 countries (26 eu countries, norway and iceland) checked a total 352 websites comparing offers and prices, mainly in the travel sector .
out of the total number of websites, 23. 6% compared accommodation prices, 21. 3% compared tickets prices (air, boat, train, bus), 5. 1% compared car rental prices, whilst
44. 6% offered a combined comparison of products and services (tickets, accommodation, holiday packages, etc .) .
25. 9% of the websites gave the impression that certain offers were scarce (e. g .
only 2 left
,
only available today
) without specifying that this scarcity applied strictly to their own website .
the identity of the provider of the comparison tool: 22. 7% only gave limited information (e. g. name, address of establishment), while 4% did not provide any information at all ;
the user review process: 21. 3% of the websites presented consumer reviews in an unclear or un - transparent way (and / or included elements that could question their truthfulness) ;
the coverage of the comparison: 10. 5% of the websites did not provide material information that was important for the comparison .
the least problematic issue was the presentation of advertising and marketing. only 2. 8% of the websites contained this type of irregularity .
vice - president jyrki katainen said :
the eu is and will remain one of the most open investment regimes in the world. foreign direct investment is an important source of growth, jobs and innovation. however, we cannot turn a blind eye to the fact that in certain cases foreign take - overs can be detrimental to our interests .
the eu has one of the most open investment regimes in the world. openness to foreign investment is enshrined in eu treaties. however, in some cases foreign investors might seek to acquire strategic assets that allow them to control or influence european firms whose activities are critical for our security and public order. this includes activities related to the operation or provision of critical technologies, infrastructure, inputs or sensitive information. acquisitions by foreign state - owned or controlled companies in these strategic areas may allow third countries to use these assets not only to the detriment of the eu' s technological edge, but also to put our security or public order at risk .
the commission proposes a new legal framework to enable europe to preserve its essential interests. this includes :
a cooperation mechanism between member states and the commission. the mechanism can be activated when a specific foreign investment in one or several member states may affect the security or public order of another .
the group will exchange information and best practices, and analysis on foreign direct investments. it will discuss issues of common concern, such as subsidies and other practices by third countries facilitating strategic acquisitions .
second, by the end of 2018, the commission will carry out an in - depth analysis of foreign direct investment flows into the eu, focusing on strategic sectors (such as energy, space, transport) and assets (key technologies, critical infrastructure, sensitive data) whose control may raise concerns for security, or public order reasons. this is particularly the case when the investor is owned or controlled by a third country or benefits from significant state subsidies. in cooperation with member states, the commission will collect detailed data, analyse trends, and assess the impact of investments, including through case studies .
the eu has one of the world' s most open investment regimes, and collectively eu member states have the fewest restrictions in the world on foreign direct investment (fdi). the oecd expressly acknowledged this in its fdi regulatory restrictiveness index which measures statutory barriers against foreign investment in over 60 countries .
the commission' s reflection paper of 10 may 2017 on harnessing globalisation recognised increasing concerns about foreign investors' strategic acquisitions of european companies with key technologies. these concerns called into question the capacity of the current regulatory framework to address them .
in june 2017, the european council welcomed the commission' s initiative to harness globalisation and specifically to analyse investments from third countries in strategic sectors .
for its part, the european parliament called on the commission, together with member states ,
to screen third country foreign direct investments in the eu in strategic industries, infrastructure and key future technologies, or other assets that are important in the interests of security and protection of access to them

it' s now been announced that the film has been moved up by an entire day, debuting in cinemas on thursday, 14 december as opposed to friday, 15 december .
giving the uk the grave responsibility that, though they may be able to see the film ahead of the us, it doesn' t give them full permission to spoil the ending (and rey' s parentage) for their friends across the pond .
it' s a precedent begun by marvel, and which has since spread to other disney properties and to entirely different studios, having an apparent advantage in aiding with early buzz; even star wars can benefit from reports of impressive early box office numbers from other territories .
it should be a pretty incredible privilege for uk audiences though, considering the marketing has so far been characteristically tight - lipped for the franchise, especially with inbuilt hype from the force awakens having been carried over .
we' ve only recently gotten our first look at the new characters played by laura dern and benicio del toro, alongside a few key locations, promising what could be a spectacular (and quite unusual) entry into the star wars universe .

the festival had also requested the film not be screened outside the region between the time of the agreement in early september and the festival, scheduled for november 15 to 24, zawya director youssef el - shazli told mada masr. he said the company reluctantly agreed not to accept new invitations, but told ciff it would honor already existing agreements with festivals such as at bfi london, rio and chicago .
shazli said turning down other invitations is not common practice, because most festival premieres are usually at a global, regional or local level, and don’t generally limit how many times a film has been screened, as long as there is no prior agreement .
“the ciff administration expressed concerns about the film’s participation in international festivals that precede ciff, claiming that this could be interpreted by some as a sign of disrespect to the festival, ” zawya distribution’s statement read. “we responded that we were honouring our agreement to reserve our mena premiere for ciff, and that any screenings of the film before ciff would be in festivals that take place outside of the region. ”
the festival released a statement in response, saying there were inaccuracies in zawya distribution’s account .
rizkallah agreed to this, ciff added, because of the film’s high quality and its desire to support this type of work, but requested that it not be sent to other festivals before the ciff .
“these conditions were agreed to by both parties, ” according to ciff’s statement. “tamer el said also added that he had already agreed to participate in only a limited number of festivals (three or four as he mentioned .) however, after this agreement, it came to the festival’s attention that the film would be participating in nearly 10 festivals, all of them preceding the cairo international film festival. ”
therefore the ciff “had no choice but to send the film back to his director with an apology, and to exclude the film from the international competition. ”
the festival’s management had announced in a press release on september 7 that said’s film would be the second egyptian film to compete in the festival’s international competition, alongside kamla abo zekry’s women’s day (2016), which premiered at bfi london .
the film took the best part of a decade to make, and has been eagerly awaited by many egyptian film enthusiasts since its release in february. several egyptian cultural figures shared zawya distribution’s statement and expressed disappointment that ciff pulled the film .
“it’s like they are punishing the film for being successful internationally, ” documentary filmmaker amal ramsis wrote on facebook .
zawya distribution told mada masr that they have submitted the film to the censorship authority, requesting clearance for a cinematic release in local cinemas .
ciff said that its statement “was only made to clarify the process that led to the exclusion of the movie from the selection, and is in no regards related to the quality of the movie. the festival’s administration wishes all the best to the director and his team for the future of this movie and others to come. ”

one decade and two books later, gilbert has assembled an unlikely team of safari first - timers to accompany her return as she brings them her books and presents cinema slide shows to the most remote villages in kenya. for most audiences, this will be the first time to see a cinema projection as well as photographs of themselves and their sacred ceremonies. together, she and the crew learn some hard lessons about a rapidly changing africa .
says director matt goldman, “this film is part history, part love letter; not only to the subjects in the movie, but to a time on this earth that has long since passed. if we are ever to learn of our true place in the universe, we will look upon the vanished tribes of remote africa as an indication of a paradise lost, never to be found again. ”

7, 114 days. that was the length of the vietnam war. for many people it was too far away from home to have any real concept of what was happening. for many, it was far too close .

for any additional questions, call audience care at 860 - 275 - 7550 .
during the chaotic final days of the vietnam war, the north vietnamese army closes in on saigon as south vietnamese resistance crumbles. the united states has only a skeleton crew of diplomats and military operatives still in the country. as communist victory becomes inevitable and the u. s. readies to withdraw, some americans begin to consider the certain imprisonment and possible death of their south vietnamese allies, co - workers, and friends. meanwhile, the prospect of an official evacuation of south vietnamese becomes terminally delayed by congressional gridlock and the inexplicably optimistic u. s. ambassador. with the clock ticking and the city under fire, a number of heroic americans take matters into their own hands, engaging in unsanctioned and often makeshift operations in a desperate effort to save as many south vietnamese lives as possible.
