Sado is overcome with emotion when she is asked what Edna means to her—“She is like my mother,” she says. The remarkable Edna Adan, a woman with over five decades of midwifery experience and a fierce passion for instilling knowledge in young people, wraps her arm around Sado's shoulder. “At my age you have to pass the torch, and I choose to pass it to them,” Edna says. “You have no idea how many lives she has saved, and this is why I continue to do what I do.”

youtu.be/ggjGmQ1Welw?t=24s The Lost World ,1925 Silent Full Feature
Directed by William Dowling. Starring Bessie Love, Wallace Beery, Lewis Stone and Lloyd Hughes.
More than 80 years after its release, the first adaptation of "The Lost World" remains as one of the most influential silent films ever, due to Willis O'Brien pioneer advances in the field of special effects, as it showcases the first time stop motion animation was used to create creatures on a feature length film. These innovation was of huge importance for this and future films, and earned Willis O'Brien and his dinosaurs a place in history as an iconic image in film history, only surpassed by another of O'Brien's creations: King Kong.
Based on Arthur Conan Doyle's novel of the same name, "The Lost World" is the tale of Prof. Challenger's (Wallace Beery) epic quest looking for the living dinosaurs who supposedly live in the deep Amazonic jungle, according to the journal of his fellow explorer Maple White, who disappeared in his last exploration. Maple's daughter, Paula (Bessie Love) joins the expedition looking for her missing father, as well as Sir John Roxton (Lewis Stone), an experienced hunter friend of Challenger. Prof. Summerlee (Arthur Hoyt) goes as well, hoping to prove that Challenger is a fraud, and finally, reporter Edward Malone (Lloyd Hughes) joins the expedition, hoping to prove his girlfriend Gladys (Alma Bennet) that he is brave enough to face death.
Cleverly adapted by Broadway playwright Marion Fairfax (who also adapted in 1922 another of Conan Doyle's works, "Sherlock Holmes"), the film is an excellent mix of action and adventure that even when it's not entirely faithful to the novel, keeps the spirit of wonder and fascination with the unknown. From the obsessive Challenger to the incredulous Summerlee, every character is very detailed and for the most part well constructed, giving each one of them a defined personality and a certain degree depth absent in many silent films.
However, the film's best remembered characteristic is the incredible special effects by Willis O'Brien, who after mastering his craft in short films got his first work in "The Lost World" and changed special effects forever. His imagery is very vivid, and very detailed considering the limited resources he had. Sadly, Harry O. Hoyt's direction takes zero advantage of Fairfax's story and O'Brien's effects, and delivers a simplistic and unoriginal work that adds nothing to the whole work and seems to let the cast and crew do their job. It's not a bad direction as a whole, but it feels uninterested on the many possibilities a film like this posses.
The cast is quite effective, and really does a great job with what they have, starting with legendary Wallace Beery, who as Prof. Challenger delivers one of the best performances in a silent film. Without the aid of sound, Beery shows a wide range of emotions in his complex character and is great in both drama and comedy. Lloyd Hughes is very good as the cowardly Malone, and showcases a talent for comedy as well as a romantic figure, as his character shows interest in Paula White, played by Bessie Love, who makes a fine counterpart to Hughes and delivers a natural, and fresh performance. Lewis Stone completes the cast and his dignified performance as Sir John Roxton is very effective.
It's safe to say that "The Lost World" owes more to O'Brien and Fairfax than to O'Hoyt, and that probably with a more experienced director the film would had been even better. However, the film's real problem has nothing to do with the way it was made, but with the way it was preserved during most of its history. Nowadays there is not a complete version of the movie, most home video versions are of the 64 minutes version, while one (Image) is of a 93 minutes reconstruction. And while probably that version is the closest we can be to the original runtime of the film, it sadly has modernized the dialogs, to the point that some lines are rewritten to fit our modern standards.
Hopefully, one day we'll be able to see "The Lost World" as it was intended to be, but meanwhile, we can still appreciate the enormous importance of its amazing special effects, and how it forecasts films like "Jurassic Park" in many ways. This epic tale of action, adventure and horror has probably not seen a better adaptation than this, the movie that set everything for the arrival of King Kong and changed special effects for ever.

First Comic Book Appearance: Kobra #1
(February 1976)
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kobra_(comics)
This is a force-directed graph of the lineups used by the Columbus Crew in its inaugural season, 1996. Nodes are colored as follows:
Dark blue nodes are players; all other nodes are games.
Light blue nodes are games coached by Timo Liekoski (April 13 - July 31)
Orange nodes are games coached by Tom Fitzgerald (August 4 - October 2)
Dark orange nodes are regular season games
Light orange nodes are playoff games
Force-directed graphs are self-organizing as each node attempts to position itself according to its links with other nodes. In this case, players are linked to the games in which they appeared, with the strength of the link determined by the number of minutes played. By encouraging this self-organizing behavior, surprising patterns can emerge - which is the case here.
The games played have clumped into three groups - which are generally structured chronologically. Perhaps not surprisingly, the games coached by Timo Liekoski are generally separate from games coached by Tom Fitzgerald. A bigger surprise is that the "Liekoski era" is actually grouped in two periods, which are also structured chronologically. The group of games at lower left are the eight games played between July 1 and August 4. The games at right were played earlier, between April 13 and June 30.
It appears that the games are clumped in this fashion more because there are certain players who rose to prominence at those times. For example, the grouping of Fitzgerald games at the top are being pulled away not because of Fitz, but because on August 10th two players debuted who went on to play in every game the rest of the season: Rob Smith and Brad Friedel.
Other players' presences are influencing the game clumping. Mark Watson appeared in every game through June 27th, and his influence is part of what groups those games to the lower left. Other players in that position are Bo Oshoniyi, Paul Young, and Brandon Ward.

Bad Apples is a new rock musical that follows three characters inspired by the three National Guard soldiers behind the atrocities at Abu Ghraib prison in 2003/2004. Jim Leonard has created a compelling, jarring, beautiful and heartbreaking story that asks how this tragedy came to be. Who were the victims? Who were the villains? Is sadism part of being human? Was Abu really an aberration brought on by a few "bad apples?"
