Marta did one more Almodóvar flick, although you’ll hear her instead of see her, as the voice of the daughter in I’m So Excited! (2013). Her career kicked into a higher gear with her role as Caye’s friend in the popular film Princesas(2005), followed by the movie Dark Blue Almost Black in 2006 and went super-stellar when she nabbed the part of Maribel in Pedro Almodóvar’s Broken Embraces (2009) with Penélope Cruz. She made her on-screen debut in an uncredited role in the comedic flick Airbag (1997), then started making pop-up appearances on TV shows, with a few TV movies thrown in for good measure. The magnificent Marta Aledo was born in Madrid, and has been acting her way through both Spanish television and feature-film projects. Marta is playing a corpse, but you’re the one who’s going to be stiff! At the very least we definitely get to see her stupendous rack! When she is on the examiner’s table in the morgue we see more of her totally nude body, especially her terrific ta-tas. ![]() A cake covers her crotch, but we think we see a touch of a bush. We love catching a peak at Marta’s naked body when she is naked by a stream. The Guardian might be invisible, but this babe sure isn’t. However, she finds she can’t do it alone as she gets confronted with specters from the past. There are many local myths and legends in that rural area, but Amaia is determined to ignore the legends and focus on the truth in order to solve this case. Marta strips down for the film which follows an inspector named Amaia Salazar ( Marta Etura ) who is working in Pamplona, Spain, when she begins to investigate the murder of a teenage girl in a nearby coastal village. The mesmerizing Marta Hernández is an actress best known for her work in The Invisible Guardian (2017). Skin welcomes her into the land of the free nipples and the home of the shaved beave. That’s an even tan there are no white lines to be seen! In 2020 Marta became an American citizen. During the act, Marta bares her big brown boobies and buns. In one scene from this British-Spanish mystery series Marta and Geena Román get completely naked to screw each other. We forgive Marta for her years of skin evasion because of her appearance in White Lines. We don’t get much skin, but it is some sexy mouth on mouth action. The two ladies get sweaty in the hot room and end up leaning in for a kiss. One exception is the CW comedy-drama show No Tomorrow, wherein Marta shows off her Sapphic side when she kisses another girl in a sauna. Milans has kept covered for most of her domestic and international projects. Fluent in at least six languages, the brunette beauty now splits time developing her career in Hollywood while also working regularly in Spain and throughout Europe. After graduating with a double major in Acting and Art History, she began working Off-Broadway while also landing small parts in NY-based TV shows like Law and Order: SVU as well as NY-based movies like Shame (2011). The Spanish actress was born and raised in Madrid, but always dreamed of living in the Big Apple so she moved there to attend New York University. There are plenty of brains behind Marta Milans‘ pretty face. Hopefully we spy Marta Mazurek naked again! One look at Marta naked and you’ll be hooked, hook line and sinker! After losing her innocence, well, her onscreen innocence to be more specific, Marta starred in the WWII drama The Innocents (2016), before landing the role of Ewa Przybylska on the medical soap opera Diagnoza, and Irka Szczesna on the WWII thriller Wojenne dziewczyny, which translates to “War Girls.” Most recently she played Insurgent Kasia in the priest turned spy drama Zieja (2020). Speaking of sea-ing, later in the movie once Marta gets human legs we get to see her very human bush, as she goes full frontal for a blonde boy before she lets him put his rod in her fish taco. Technically we also get to see her tail, but we’re not sure if that counts as nudity or not in the under the sea world. It’s quite alluring, since we see her small, perky bobbers uncovered, unlike that prude Ariel. ![]() At first, she and another woman drop their tops while being photographed by some guys. After showing up in some Polish flicks like the man hallucinating his own past drama Obywatel (2014) and the Polish city nightlife rom-com Warsaw By Night (2015), we got more than one shot of Marta going full frontal in the killer mermaid flick The Lure (2015). Marta made her screen debut on the TV show Ranczo but really hit the big time with her recurring role on the religious drama Sila wyzsza. Polish actress Marta Mazurek was still in college at the Krakow National Theatre School when she won a huge acting award for her role in the play, “The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat.” But as long as you don’t have visual agnosia like that poor fella, you’ll recognize Marta as one of the most porkable pieces of pie Poland has ever produced.

![]() The relationships among various cockatoo genera are largely resolved, although the placement of the cockatiel ( Nymphicus hollandicus) at the base of the cockatoos remains uncertain. Subsequent molecular studies indicate that the earliest offshoot from the original parrot ancestors were the New Zealand parrots of the family Strigopidae, and following this the cockatoos, now a well-defined group or clade, split off from the remaining parrots, which then radiated across the Southern Hemisphere and diversified into the many species of parrots, parakeets, macaws, lories, lorikeets, lovebirds and other true parrots of the superfamily Psittacoidea. The American ornithologist James Lee Peters in his 1937 Check-list of Birds of the World and Sibley and Monroe in 1990 maintained it as a subfamily, while parrot expert Joseph Forshaw classified it as a family in 1973. This group has alternately been considered as either a full or subfamily by different authorities. The cockatoos were first defined as a subfamily Cacatuinae within the parrot family Psittacidae by the English naturalist George Robert Gray in 1840, with Cacatua the first listed and type genus. The number of species in each genus is from the list maintained by Frank Gill, Pamela Rasmussen and David Donsker on behalf of the International Ornithological Committee (IOC), now the International Ornithologists' Union. Genus level cladogram of the cockatoos based on a 2023 molecular phylogenetic study by Brian Smith and collaborators. Psittacidae – African and New World parrotsĬalyptorhynchus – black cockatoos (2 species)Ĭacatua – white cockatoos and corellas (11 species) Proprietors of small agricultural undertakings are often jocularly or slightly disparagingly referred to as "cocky farmers". In Australian slang or vernacular speech, a person who is assigned to keep watch while others undertake clandestine or illegal activities, particularly gambling, may be referred to as a "cockatoo". The derivation has also been used for the family and generic names Cacatuidae and Cacatua, respectively. Seventeenth-century variants include cacato, cockatoon and crockadore, and cokato, cocatore and cocatoo were used in the eighteenth century. The word cockatoo dates from the 17th century and is derived from Dutch kaketoe, which is from Malay kakatua. Illegal trade in wild-caught birds contributes to the decline of some cockatoo species in the wild. White cockatoos are more commonly found in captivity than black cockatoos. The cockatiel is the easiest cockatoo species to maintain and is by far the most frequently kept in captivity. Some cockatoo species have been adversely affected by habitat loss, particularly from a shortage of suitable nesting hollows after large mature trees are cleared conversely, some species have adapted well to human changes and are considered agricultural pests.Ĭockatoos are popular birds in aviculture, but their needs are difficult to meet. Cockatoos are monogamous and nest in tree hollows. They often feed in large flocks, particularly when ground-feeding. The second and larger branch is formed by the genus Cacatua, comprising 11 species of white-plumaged cockatoos and four monotypic genera that branched off earlier namely the pink and white Major Mitchell's cockatoo, the pink and grey galah, the mainly grey gang-gang cockatoo and the large black-plumaged palm cockatoo.Ĭockatoos prefer to eat seeds, tubers, corms, fruit, flowers and insects. The five large black-coloured cockatoos of the genus Calyptorhynchus form one branch. The remaining species are in two main clades. The phylogenetic position of the cockatiel remains unresolved, except that it is one of the earliest offshoots of the cockatoo lineage. On average they are larger than other parrots however, the cockatiel, the smallest cockatoo species, is a small bird. Their plumage is generally less colourful than that of other parrots, being mainly white, grey or black and often with coloured features in the crest, cheeks or tail. The family has a mainly Australasian distribution, ranging from the Philippines and the eastern Indonesian islands of Wallacea to New Guinea, the Solomon Islands and Australia.Ĭockatoos are recognisable by the prominent crests and curved bills. Along with the Psittacoidea ( true parrots) and the Strigopoidea (large New Zealand parrots), they make up the order Psittaciformes. A cockatoo is any of the 21 species of parrots belonging to the family Cacatuidae, the only family in the superfamily Cacatuoidea. ![]() ![]() “We needed someone who had an incredible physical grace and strength, but not an over-muscular kind of strength. “No one else could have played the role,” says Kusama. For me, the physical aspect is as important as any line of dialogue.” For years, I did that, just using my body. It wasn’t because I liked the technical aspect of it I liked to get on stage and tell a story. “I was a ballerina for 12 years – it took me that long to figure out why I loved ballet so much. In her first action-heroine role, Theron called upon her unique skills as a ballet dancer to bring the character to life. Her sexuality, for instance, is just one element of that very powerful and ultimately unapologetic.” “I think what really distinguishes Aeon from a lot of other women in the genre is that she has so much free will she’s so self-determining,” says director Karyn Kusama, who previously helmed the indie hit “Girlfight.” “The story of `Aeon Flux’ grapples with some of the provocative themes that often inhabit science fiction, and it was important that she read as a complex and morally ambiguous character. Aeon is iconic – there’s no doubt about that – and it was thrilling to present a living action heroine unlike any other.” “Our challenge was to pay homage to that, to live up to the high bar the series set, while also grounding her in the world that an actress – one of Charlize’s talent and considerable flexibility – could play. “The animated Aeon Flux is a provocative, sexy, and acrobatic character – and she isn’t bound by the laws of man or nature,” Hurd says. “Aeon Flux” began life as a series of animated short films on MTV’s “Liquid Television.” These shorts gave the filmmakers ample inspiration to bring the unique character to life. Karyn, Charlize, Phil and Matt have brought a unique and exciting vision to the screen that’s true to Peter Chung’s original concept and incorporates many of the original and groundbreaking ideas that were so memorable in the series.” “It’s very rare to have such a smart, strong female character that isn’t your typical two dimensional action hero. Producer David Gale, who is also Executive Vice President of MTV Films, agrees that “Aeon Flux” will live up to expectations of the fans of the series while also being accessible to new viewers. As far as she’s concerned, she’s on the planet for one reason: to avenge the murder of her family.” “She gave up the idea of a normal life long ago – she is a professional killer. “Aeon is ruthless – all she cares about is the mission,” says Theron. “Aeon is able to do things that others can’t – she is the best on every possible level – but what she discovers shakes her beliefs about how the world operates.” “This is the mission she has been waiting for her entire life,” says producer Gale Anne Hurd, who previously produced the sci-fi classics “The Terminator,” “Aliens,” and “The Abyss.” According to Hurd, Aeon Flux is the only agent who can perform such a mission. “When her family is killed by government agents, Aeon Flux is eager to take revenge but, before she can complete her mission, she uncovers secrets that change everything,” says Charlize Theron, who portrays the title character in the new film “Aeon Flux.”Īs the top operative in an underground rebellion against the dictatorial leaders of Bregna – a walled future city – everything Aeon knows is challenged when she receives her latest assignment: the assassination of Trevor Goodchild, ruler of Bregna. Set in 2415, “Aeon Flux” is a startling vision of a future in flux from Karyn Kusama, director of the acclaimed “Girlfight.” “Aeon Flux” is written by Phil Hay & Matt Manfredi, based upon characters created by Peter Chung in the pioneering MTV animated series. A highly trained soldier on the front lines of a war against the perfect society, Aeon is one of the few to suspect that this perfect life is hiding a perfect lie. ![]() When government agents murder her family, Aeon Flux (Charlize Theron) swears revenge. The film was released on Decemby Paramount Pictures in the United States. It stars Charlize Theron as the title character. The film is a loose adaptation of the animated science fiction television series of the same name, which was created by animator Peter Chung. Aeon Flux is a science fiction action film directed by Karyn Kusama. ![]() Pierce, Albright and others stressed that only one patient has been treated so far and that the study, still at a very early stage, is designed primarily to determine whether injecting the gene-editing tool directly into the eye is safe.

"All of us dream that a time might be coming where we could apply this approach for thousands of diseases," Collins tells NPR. "We believe that the ability to edit inside the body is going to open entire new areas of medicine and lead to a whole new class of therapies for diseases that are not treatable any other way," Albright says.įrancis Collins, director of the National Institutes of Health, calls the advance "a significant moment." Shots - Health News Molecular Scissors Could Help Keep Some Viral Illnesses At Bay "We're really optimistic that this has a good chance of being effective." "It's the first time the CRISPR gene-editing is used directly in a patient," Pierce says. That would, the researchers hope, restore production of a crucial protein and prevent the death of cells in the retina, as well as revive other cells - enabling patients to regain at least some vision. The goal is that once the virus carrying the CRISPR instructions has been infused into the eye, the gene-editing tool will slice out the genetic defect that caused the blindness. "The majority of people affected by this disease have the most severe end of the spectrum, in terms of how poor their vision is," Pierce says. Vision impairment with LCA varies widely, but most patients are legally blind and are only able to differentiate between light and dark or perhaps to detect movement. In this new experiment, doctors at the Casey Eye Institute in Portland, Ore., injected (into the eye of a patient who is nearly blind from a condition called Leber congenital amaurosis) microscopic droplets carrying a harmless virus that had been engineered to deliver the instructions to manufacture the CRISPR gene-editing machinery.īeginning in infancy, the rare genetic condition progressively destroys light-sensing cells in the retina that are necessary for vision.

I have no plans for tomorrow and I don’t have memories of yesterday. The only way he might have given the Olympic Committee something to watch is if he had agreed to compete, like Olympians in the age of Pindar, naked. Truly, there has never been a more beautiful, more glamorous bridge ambassador than Omar Sharif. And he tried valiantly to bring attention to the game, even forming a barnstorming “Omar Sharif Bridge Circus,” a caravan of crack players who traveled the world playing tournaments and exhibition matches. He was religiously devoted to the sport, occasionally refusing films if they interfered with his bridge-playing schedule. If anyone could have turned contract bridge into a spectator sport, it would have been the Omar Sharif of the swinging sixties. Still, there is something apt about the bogus story. So much for the legacy media: there was indeed something called the World Bridge Olympiad, held every four years between 19, but the United Arab Republic - the short-lived union of Egypt and Syria - ceased to exist in 1961. After considerable digging, I was able to trace the source of the rumor to a 1966 story in the Washington Post, which reported that Omar Sharif had captained the United Arab Republic’s bridge team for the World Bridge Olympiad of 1964. But the committee, which apparently finds curling perfectly tolerable viewing, has yet to be persuaded that the bridge is, in any conceivable sense, watchable. Bridge players have tried for decades to make it one, and in the late 1990s, the Olympic Committee recognized as it as one of two “mind sports,” along with chess. The secular trinity of Google, Google Books, and Wikipedia are uncharacteristically useless in confirming or denying the story, but the fact is, it just can’t be true, because bridge isn’t an Olympic sport. Omar Sharif represented Egypt in the 1964 Olympics for the game of contract bridge, according to one of the more benign rumors circulating about him on the internet. To keep my mind off the waiting, waiting, I play bridge. ![]() If your content contains any violation of the above rules (Rediquette, Hate Speech etc.) it will be removed.

There is nothing wrong with working the reservation desk, but we want Sam to live out his dreams.Īs I said, Godwin plays many roles, and if my count is correct, he plays forty characters, ranging from snotty socialites (one of whom is named Bunny Vandevere, I kid you not) to the somewhat coarse and rough-edged head chef to a French maître de who judges his clientele on their beauty quotient. But the audience is rooting for Sam-we want him to get his big break, and that wistful feeling that maybe he can just leave this job for a bigger stage stayed with me the entire performance. And not all of his auditions have panned out. He doesn’t just play “Sam,” the likable actor who is working at this reservations gig (I mean, this show is all about exposing how awful the gig economy can be-whether you are an artist or not) between auditions. And when he does, you just marvel at it, because it is marvelous.īut in this case, it's just one actor playing all of these roles, and although I have frequently written about Dylan Godwin and how over-the-top talented I think he is, this performance made me realize just how right I am.
