Memento​ (2000)
Plot Summary

● Memento chronicles two separate stories of Leonard, an ex-insurance investigator who can
no longer build new memories, as he attempts to find the murderer of his wife, which is the
last thing he remembers. One story line moves forward in time while the other tells the
story backwards revealing more each time.

- ​Written by ​Scion013
● A memory inside a memory, Memento is a complicated head spinning adventure. Leonard
is determined to avenge his wife's murder. However, unable to remember anything that
happens day-to-day due to a condition he sustained, short term memory loss, he has to write
himself note after note that still don't mean anything after he falls asleep. The film goes
back in time to reveal each little bit of the puzzle as he tries to find out the person who
killed his wife and makes the audience feel just as confused as he is. The narrative closely
follows a phone call Pearce has in which he talks about Sammy Jankins a former client of
him who he believed had the same condition. The film takes an unexpected twist as the two
characters have a lot more in common than is initially put across.

● Leonard Shelby has short term memory loss resulting from an injury he sustained which
was associated with the murder of his wife. He remembers his life prior to the incident,
such as being an insurance claims investigator. He has learned to cope with his memory
loss through dealing with a man named Sammy Jankins, a person he investigated
professionally who also had short term memory issues. Some of these coping mechanism
are to have a system of where to place things, talk to people face-to-face if possible rather
than on the telephone as to be able to gauge their true intention, take Polaroids and write
copious notes, the most important of those which he tattoos on his body so that they
become permanent. Leonard's current mission is to find and kill his wife's murderer, who
he believes is a man named John G., a name which is tattooed on his body. Over the course
of a day, Leonard is assisted in this mission by a few people seemingly independent of each
other, including a man named Teddy and a woman named Natalie. However, each time he
meets them, he has no idea who they are, why they are helping him and if indeed they are
working toward the same goal as him.

- ​Written by ​Huggo

● Leonard Shelby wears expensive tailored suits and drives a late model Jaguar sedan.
However he lives in cheap anonymous motels, paying his way with thick wads of cash.
Although he looks like a successful businessman, his only work is the pursuit of vengeance
: tracking and punishing the man who raped and murdered his wife. The difficulty of
locating his wife's killer is compounded by the fact that Leonard suffers from a rare,
untreatable form of memory loss. Although he can recall details of life before his accident,
 Leonard can't remember what happened fifteen minutes ago, where he is, where he's going,
or why.
● Leonard is an insurance investigator whose memory has been damaged following a head
injury he sustained after intervening on his wife's murder. His quality of life has been
severely hampered after this event, and he can now only live a comprehendable life by
tattooing notes on himself and taking pictures of things with a Polaroid camera. The movie
is told in forward flashes of events that are to come that compensate for his unreliable
memory, during which he has liaisons with various complex characters. Leonard badly
wants revenge for his wife's murder, but, as numerous characters explain, there may be
little point if he won't remember it in order to provide closure for him. The movie veers
between these future occurrences and a telephone conversation Leonard is having in his
motel room in which he compares his current state to that of a client whose claim he once
dealt with.

Origen​ (2010)
Plot Summary

● Dom Cobb is a skilled thief, the absolute best in the dangerous art of extraction, stealing
valuable secrets from deep within the subconscious during the dream state, when the mind
is at its most vulnerable. Cobb's rare ability has made him a coveted player in this
treacherous new world of corporate espionage, but it has also made him an international
fugitive and cost him everything he has ever loved. Now Cobb is being offered a chance at
redemption. One last job could give him his life back but only if he can accomplish the
impossible-inception. Instead of the perfect heist, Cobb and his team of specialists have to
pull off the reverse: their task is not to steal an idea but to plant one. If they succeed, it
could be the perfect crime. But no amount of careful planning or expertise can prepare the
team for the dangerous enemy that seems to predict their every move. An enemy that only
Cobb could have seen coming.

● Dominic Cobb is an industrial spy who instead of breaking into a person's home, office, or
even computer, gets the information he needs by getting into the person's mind through
their dreams. Cobb is also a fugitive who misses his children. Someone approaches Cobb
and wants to hire him but instead of getting information out, the man wants Cobb to
implant something, a process called 'inception', which is not easy to do. Cobb is hesitant to
do it but when the man offers to help Cobb go back to his children, Cobb agrees. So he
assembles his team but when they begin, there are things Cobb didn't tell his team that
could jeopardize the job and when they occur they're not sure if they should continue.

● Dominic Cobb is the foremost practitioner of the artistic science of extraction - inserting
oneself into a subject's dreams to obtain hidden information without the subject knowing - a
 concept taught to him by his professor father-in-law, Dr. Stephen Miles. Dom's associates
are Miles' former students, who Dom requires as he himself has given up being the dream
architect for reasons he won't disclose. Dom's primary associate, Arthur, believes it has
something to do with Dom's deceased wife, Mal, who often figures prominently and
violently in those dreams, or Dom's want to "go home" i.e. get back to his own reality,
which includes two young children. Dom's work is generally in corporate espionage. As the
subjects don't want the information to get into the wrong hands, the clients have zero
tolerance for failure. Dom is also a wanted man as many of his past subjects have learned
what Dom has done to them. One of those subjects, Mr. Saito, offers Dom a job he can't
refuse: to take the concept one step further into inception, namely planting thoughts into the
subject's dreams without them knowing. Inception can fundamentally alter that person as a
being. Saito's target is Robert Michael Fischer, the heir to an energy business empire, which
has the potential to rule the world if continued on the current trajectory. Beyond the
complex logistics of the dream architecture of the case and some unknowns concerning
Fischer himself, the biggest obstacles in success for the team become worrying about one
aspect of inception which Cobb fails to disclose to the other team members prior to the job,
and Cobb's newest associate, Ariadne, believes that Cobb's own subconscious, especially as
it relates to Mal, may be taking over what happens in the dreams.

● Corporate espionage. Cobb can invade people's dreams, so corporations hire him to steal
business secrets from rivals' subconscious. Saito, an energy magnate, wants Cobb to do the
reverse: not take information, but plant an idea in a rival's mind. In return, he'll fix
problems with the US government so Cobb can return to his children. Cobb takes the
near-impossible job, planning three layers of dreams within dreams for the mark. It requires
a larger team taking a powerful sedative: if something goes awry, the dreamers may not
awake. Cobb doesn't tell his team that his past nurtures feelings powerful enough to bring
on this comatose state for all of them. And the children - are they real?

America's 10 Deadliest Jobs

If your work day sometimes seems to consist of nothing but boring
meetings, coffee spills, and computer glitches, consider yourself lucky.

Each year thousands of U.S. workers die from injuries on the job. In
fact, the ​Bureau of Labor Statistics​‘ National Census of Fatal
Occupational Injuries shows a preliminary total of 4,383 fatal work
injuries in 2012, down slightly from the final count of 4,693 in 2011.
The rate of fatal work injury for U.S. workers in 2012 fell to 3.2 per
100,000 full-time equivalent workers, from 3.5 in 2011. Data just
released Thursday offers a preliminary count; the final 2012 data will
be released in the spring of 2014 and shouldn’t be much different.
Over the last five years, increases in the published counts based on
additional information have ranged from 84 to 2011 fatalities per year,
or about 3.5% of the revised total.

The BLS breaks down the numbers to tell us what the most dangerous
professions of all in America are. The top spot on the list goes to
logging workers, who lost their lives at a rate of 127.8 per 100,000
full-time workers. In total, 62 loggers were killed on the job last year.

These workers, also known as lumberjacks, typically harvest, cut and

transport timber to be processed into lumber, paper and other wood
products. They often perform strenuous labor in hostile environments,
and the work is often intermittent and low-paying.
There are 34,050 logging workers in the U.S.–including fallers,
logging equipment operators, log graders and scalers, and others—and
they make $35,149 a year, on average.

In Pictures: America’s 10 Deadliest Jobs

After years in the top spot, fishermen and fisherwomen now have
the ​second​ deadliest job in America. Fishing-related professionals lost
their lives at a rate of 117 per 100,000 full-time workers—for a total of
32 fatalities in 2012.
Fishing is a legendarily hazardous occupation, particularly Alaskan
shell fishing, and fatalities have been elevated in recent years. High
compensation helps offset the risks and seasonal fluctuations that
come with the work.

Airplane pilots have the third deadliest jobs, according to the BLS.
Like loggers, pilots are menaced by the threat of malfunctioning
machinery and falling heavy objects. Seventy-one aircraft pilots and
flight engineers were killed on the job in 2012. That’s about 53.4 per
100,000 full-time workers.

Some occupations that seem dangerous, like firefighting and tractor

operation, are actually relatively safe; both of those jobs, for example,
are less dangerous than being a car mechanic. Some of the safest jobs
of all, with less than 10 deaths among all full-time workers, include
computer and mathematical professions, and legal occupations.

In Pictures: America’s 10 Deadliest Jobs

Forty-one percent of all fatal workplace injuries happened in
transportation incidents, which include car accidents, overturned
vehicles and plane crashes. More than half (58%) of the 1,789 fatal
transportation-related incidents occurred on highways, and involved
motorized land vehicles.

The second-highest cause of worker fatalities was assaults and violent

acts, which accounted for 18% of deaths. The preliminary data shows
that workplace suicides fell slightly in 2010 to 258 after climbing to a
high of 263 the year before.

Food habits from around the world
Pick up some international food habits and improve your wellbeing.

One in four adults is obese in Australia and more are becoming overweight. As a nation,
obesity has become one of the most important health problems we now face.

Dr Gary Sacks, from Deakin University, Melbourne, and the World Health Organization's
Collaborating Centre for Obesity Prevention, says: "Obesity is a serious problem in
Australia. Over 60 per cent of adults are either overweight or obese, and one in four
children are overweight. This is already causing an enormous burden on our health system
and will get much worse."

In Australia 25.6 per cent of men and 24 per cent of women are obese. In other countries
the obesity rates are nowhere near as high. So what can Australians learn from the world
about healthy living?

Japan
Apart from the sumo wrestlers, Japanese people know how to eat well and keep weight off.
Just 2.3 per cent of men and 3.4 per cent of women are considered obese. One look at the
traditional Japanese diet and we know why.

"Japan has very low obesity rates. We think this is primarily due to their diet, but also due
to cultural factors that view thinness as very fashionable, especially in women," Dr Sacks
says.

Traditional Japanese food, such as sushi, is low in saturated fats, while being high in fiber
and packed with vitamins, minerals and omega-3s from the fresh fish. The nutritious staple
of rice is filling, while tofu and seaweed are full of protein. Seaweed is also rich in zinc,
antioxidants and vitamins A and C.
The Japanese might know the secret to living a long happy life too. They have the highest
life expectancy in the world – 86 years old for a woman, which is two years higher than in
Australia, the Lancet reported.

The Netherlands
Streets filled with bikes, and healthy-looking couples cycling along beside each-other may
sound like a stereotype of the Dutch, but it is largely being bike-mad that keeps Holland’s
population healthy. As a result just 10.4 per cent of men and 10.1 per cent of women are in
the obese category.

“In some countries such as the Netherlands and Denmark it is clear that the differences in
the built environment and public transport make a difference,” says Professor Boyd
Swinburn from Deakin University, Melbourne, who is Director at the World Health
Organization Collaborating Centre for Obesity Prevention.

The environment in the Netherlands is built for walking and cycling, whereas in Australia it
is built around the car."

The traditional diet involves a lot of fish, some of which is eaten raw, as well as a wide
variety of fruit and vegetables such as green beans, beetroot, spinach, asparagus, berries
and plums. The traditional dish Stamp pot consists of mashed potatoes and vegetables
served alongside a small serving of meat.

Although this diet is healthy in itself, one additional factor in staving off obesity is their
smart snacking habits.

What's Wrong With the American Diet?

By Chris Woolston, M.S.
What's wrong with the typical American diet? This is what the experts have to say:

"Too many calories," says Marion Nestle, PhD, MPH, Professor of Nutrition and Food
Studies at New York University.

"Too many calories," asserts Melanie Polk, registered dietitian and former director of
nutrition education for the American Institute of Cancer Research.

Barbara Gollman, a registered dietitian who used to be the spokesperson for the American
Dietetic Association, weighs in with her own theory: "Too many calories."

Perhaps it's time to stop talking about fatty foods and admit that we simply eat too many
calories. Twenty-five years ago, the average American consumed about 1,850 calories each
day. Since then, our daily diet has grown by 304 calories (roughly the equivalent of two
cans of soda). That's theoretically enough to add an extra 31 pounds to each person every
year. Judging from the ongoing obesity epidemic, many Americans are gaining those
pounds -- and then some.

Take the latest national surveys on weight. More than 68 percent of all Americans are
considered overweight or obese, according to the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention. (This means they have a body mass index greater than 25.)

But calories don't tell the whole story. To truly understand what's wrong with the American
diet, you have to know how we manage to consume all those calories. There are two
possible ways to go overboard: You can eat too many calorie-dense foods, or you can eat
too much food or beverages in general. Many people choose to do both.
Our fondness for fast food is taking a particularly heavy toll. Although the federal
government recommends that we have at least two to five cups of fruits and vegetables a
day, for example, surveys show that the average American eats only three servings a day,
and 42 percent eat fewer than two servings a day.

Here's a closer look at our love affair with calories -- and the health crisis it has created.

The carnival mirror

Of course, there is no single American diet. We all have our individual tastes, quirks, and
habits. Still, experts see clear patterns in our food choices. In fact, most American diets fall
into one of two broad categories: "Western" or "prudent."

The prudent diet is a nutritionist's dream. People in this category tend to eat relatively large
amounts of fish, poultry, cruciferous vegetables (i.e. cabbage and broccoli), greens,
tomatoes, legumes, fresh fruits, and whole grains. They also skimp on fatty or calorie-rich
foods such as red meats, eggs, high-fat dairy products, french fries, pizza, mayonnaise,
candy, and desserts.

The Western diet is the prudent diet reflected in a carnival mirror. Everything is backwards:
Red meat and other fatty foods take the forefront, while fruits, vegetables, and whole grains
are pushed aside. In addition to fat and calories, the Western diet is loaded with cholesterol,
salt, and sugar. If that weren't bad enough, it's critically short on dietary fiber and many
nutrients -- as well as plant-based substances (phytochemicals) that help protect the heart
and ward off cancer.

Put it all together and you have a recipe for disaster. In a 12-year study of more than 69,000
women, published in the Archives of Internal Medicine, a Western diet was found to
significantly raise the risk of coronary heart disease. Other studies have shown that a
high-fat, low-nutrient diet increases the likelihood of colon cancer, diabetes, and a host of
other ailments.

Portion distortion
The Western diet is nothing new. The typical American family in the 1950s was more
likely than we are to sit down to a meal of pork chops and mashed potatoes than stir-fried
tofu and broccoli. So why has the obesity epidemic exploded in the last 20 years? It's a
matter of size. "Twenty years ago, the diet wasn't as varied as it is today, and people didn't
eat nearly enough fruits and vegetables," Gollman says. "But the portions were more in line
with what people really need."
From bagel shops to family restaurants to vending machines to movie theater concession
stands to the dining room table, our meals and snacks are taking on gargantuan proportions.
"Everyone in the food industry decided they had to make portions larger to stay
competitive, and people got used to large sizes very quickly," Nestle says. "Today, normal
sizes seem skimpy."

The hyperinflation of our diet is especially obvious away from home. "Look through the
window of any of the big chain restaurants, and you'll see huge platters of food coming out
of the kitchen," Polk says. One of those platters could easily pack 2,000 calories, enough to
last most people all day.
