He finds himself sleeping around, gambling his money away, with a failing business, and drowned in debt, when suddenly his banker tells him that a man is offering to pay all his debt. Suspicious at first, Alec soon realizes this is true; his estranged uncle, Raymond Heacock, offers to pay his £88,000 debt in exchange for Alec moving out of England to Nova Scotia, Canada for a whole year. Although not thrilled by the idea, Russian debt collectors are after him, and after hiding from them in a church where the Priest tells him this opportunity might be God's way of giving him a second chance, he decides to accept his uncle's offer. Two days later, he moves to his uncle's house in Nova Scotia. His first day in town, Alec meets Cecilia, who says she knows his uncle. She offers to help him out by placing an ad on the local newspaper to bring him some business. His first days in town don't go so well: he meets Father Malloy, who invites him to church, so he tells him he's Buddhist to get out of going; he meets Officer Tom, who gives him a citation and makes it clear he dislikes Alec's uncle; and the ad on the newspaper, which was supposed to state "The Healer, I can fix anything" is printed as "The Healer, I can fix anyone." Suddenly, because of the newspaper ad, people start showing up at his house asking him to heal their ailments. Alec is frustrated at the confusion and at not getting any electrical engineering business. Needing money, he starts working with Cecilia, who is a veterinarian. Strangely, one by one, each of the people that came to him to be healed, were actually getting cured, even though Alec refused to see them and told them he was an engineer, not a doctor. The strangest incident, however, came when Father Malloy had a heart attack and died in front of Alec, but minutes later came back to life. Officer Tom misunderstands the situation, arresting Alec for the murder of Father Malloy, until Father Malloy clears up the misunderstanding revealing he is in fact alive. Father Malloy then talks to Alec, telling him that he believes he has a God-given gift to heal people. Alec has had enough of people thinking he can heal them; he goes back to his uncle's house to pack his bags planning to leave. While packing, he finds a key for the basement with a note. In the basement, he finds pictures of his ancestors and an empty frame labeled with his name. His uncle explains that their family has a secret gift to heal that skips a generation. He tells Alec he must accept the gift before midnight or he will lose it forever. Overwhelmed, Alec does not accept the gift, later having to explain his decision to the entire town. The town, however, is understanding and simply thanks him for the miracles he got to perform. Although he didn't accept the gift, his uncle is a man of his word and will pay his debt if Alec remains in town the whole year, so he discards his plan to leave. A few days later, a family arrives from out of town begging him to heal their daughter, Abigail (Abigail is based on a real person), from cancer. Alec explains he can't help, but agrees to pretend to try to heal her, after Abigail begs him to, for the sake of her parents. Abigail spends the whole weekend with Alec and Cecilia, and they quickly bond. Alec also makes up with Officer Tom, after he reveals that Abigail is his niece. After that weekend, Alec is particularly moved, revealing that Charlie, his twin brother, had died of cancer. He goes back to his uncle and tells him he regrets not accepting the gift. Alec goes to church, angrily asking God for the gift back and to not let Abigail die. The film ends some time later, when Alec and Cecilia speak to Abigail on the phone, who tells them that the cancer has gone away and she is in remission. Upon hearing the good news Alec and Cecilia kiss. Knowing that Alec got the gift back, his uncle heads back to England, and they make up before he departs.

Helan MingYu and Xiao ChengXu met when they were young and fell in love. They had planned a future together. Xiao ChengRui saved a girl whom he was mislead to believe was Helan MingYu. When he met Helan MingYu, he started taking a liking to her. Upon hearing the gossip about when Helan MingYu was little and was prophetized to become mother of all under heaven, he thought it practical to marry her. He dispatched his empress to persuade Helan MingYu into accepting the emperor. She was reluctant. But when news of Xiao ChengXu's death in battle spread across the kingdom, she accepted her fate and decided to marry the new emperor, Xiao ChengRui. On the day of her wedding, news came that Xiao ChengXu was alive but it was too late as MingYu felt a duty (as many lives were on the line) to go through with the wedding to Xiao ChengRui. This decision sealed her fate and put her on a path where she had to use her wits and knowledge of the art of war to navigate court and harem intrigue to secure her son and her grandson's throne thus becoming Empress Dowager and eventually Grand Empress Dowager. Xiao ChengXu was taken under the wings of his third brother, Prince Xiao ChengRui, since he was little. Despite being born from different mothers, they had a very strong bond until the passing of their father, the Emperor of Sheng. Emperor of Sheng passed away without a written edict as to whom he passes the crown on to - he only left a verbal edict with Consort Mu. This set off a series of scheming and events that pitted brothers against each other. More so was the conflict between once devoted brothers, Xiao ChengXu and Xiao ChengRui. Xiao ChengXu vowed to take back what is rightfully his (the throne and his love) so he built up his military power and influence in the court. In a confrantation, his 3rd brother scolded him and told him he does not have what it takes to be emperor - he is not emperor material. Over time he had so many missed opportunities to seize the throne - is it fate? Xiao ChengRui thought he was groomed by his father to become the next emperor to the realization that he was not named as his successor. For all his hard work and many years of bravery in battles by his father's side, he felt entitled and that he was best suited to become the next emperor so when the opportunity was offered to him, he mulled over the sanctity of what they would embark on to make it happen. Eventually he gave in to his deep seeded ambitions and usurped the throne from his unbeknowst brother. It seemed Xiao ChengRui was destined to take all. And he took all, but he could not win the heart of a woman he wanted so dearly thus began a game of cat and mouse and his rapid decline into narcissism. Towards the end of his life, while playing a last game of chess with Helan MingYu, he told her that for once he would win her. He set up a scheme by whom he chose as his successor so that he could ensure his Sheng kingdom does not fall and does not end up usurped by Xiao ChengXu. To stabilize the court, Xiao ChengXu was convinced by Helan MingYu to assist the young Xiao QiYuan as Emperor. He was persuaded to not take the throne but instead become regent to the emperor thus having all of the unlimited power just without the title of emperor. He eventually agreed. However, he cannot suppress his feelings for Helan Mingyu and desires to marry her. As Xiao QiYuan grows older, he begins to suspect Xiao ChengXu of having a love affair with his mother. His suspicion eventually leads to Xiao ChengXu's death in battle. Helan Mingyu is conflicted, but puts her kingdom above her personal desires.

He took note that the inherited knowledge is an evolutionary advantage somehow not exploited in full by the evolution. Eventually he came to a conclusion that only by pure biological restrictions that adaptive abilities of insects were stopped in their tracks by the evolution. He went on further wondering whether the ants have an ability to apriori knowledge, i.e., knowledge neither inherited nor learned.

"It" already knew Lymphater's intentions, but was not worried, knowing that sooner or later someone else will create "It" again and again. "It" was only the first variant of Lymphater's formula and the second variant is possible. Lyphater wonders whether the second one would be capable to create the third stage of the evolution which would amount to an artificial God...Stanislaw Lem – Die lymphatersche Formel, an annotation to a 1973 German audiobook for the story ===== Gaby (Peretti) is a caterer who lives in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

While infiltrating his house, Gentry discovers that it is also a way station for young girls waiting to be transported east and sold into sex slavery. After killing Babic, Gentry manages to escape with one of the girls named Liliana while taking heavy fire from the general's men, leaving the other girls behind. Liliana informs Gentry about Captain Niko Vukovic, a police chief stationed on the nearby city of Mostar who is Babic's associate. After sending the girl home safely, Gentry goes to Mostar and surveils the police officer, later apprehending Hungarian mobsters sent to kill him. While there, he encounters Talyssa Corbu, a Romanian financial analyst working for Europol. She had embarked on a personal mission to find her sister Roxana, who is missing and presumed dead or sold into sex slavery. They agree to work together to save the trafficked girls as well as Roxana. Gentry snatches Vukovic and tortures him for information. The police officer reveals that the next way station or “pipeline” for the trafficked girls is in Dubrovnik, Croatia, and that he works for a global enterprise called the Consortium, which deals in money laundering and sex trafficking. Gentry and Corbu then proceed to Croatia, where he uses her as bait to attract Consortium men by asking around about the organization. Eventually, Albanian mobsters working for the Consortium kidnap Corbu. Gentry then chases them through the streets of Dubrovnik, eventually saving the analyst and killing her captors. While captive, Corbu overhears of a Consortium hideout near the Croatian coast. They venture there, where Gentry finds a yacht where the young girls are being transported and decides to follow it.

They soon get into a gunfight with Verdoorn and his men and are forced to move out. Gentry witnesses this and demands to know how Hanley knew his whereabouts.

The film begins with Alicia hosting her socialite friends in their Buenos Aires, Argentina apartment in one of the capital city's most luxurious neighborhoods, where she lives with her 70-year-old retired engineer husband, Ignacio, played by Miguel Ángel Solá, her live-in maid Gladys, played by Yanina Ávila, and Gladys's 3-year old son, Santiago (Santi), who calls Alicia Auntie. Gladys has a humble background. Her mother died when she was about three or four years old and she lived with her father, who neglected and abused her in a remote forested area. She became an unpaid servant to her father's second wife and her step-siblings until her teen years, when she escaped to Buenos Aires with the help of a neighbor, where she was hired by Alicia. Both Alicia and her husband are portrayed as dignified and courteous, while Gladys is portrayed as "simple" and slow. These assumptions are unsettled as the story unfolds involving two court cases and prison sentences. Daniel stands trial and is imprisoned for the attempted murder of his ex-wife, Marcela, played by Sofía Gala Castiglione. Gladys is accused and convicted of murder for suffocating her newborn baby in her living quarters in Alicia and Ignacio's home. For most of the film, Gladys is portrayed as a passive, emotionless prisoner, who remains silent in her own defense, which makes it impossible for her lawyer, Vieytes, to help her. She receives a particularly harsh punishment of 17 years of imprisonment. Alicia is present in both courtrooms. At the conclusion of Gladys's trial, to Vieytes' surprise, Gladys makes a statement in which she apologizes to Alicia for the mistreatment she has been subjected to in court and thanks Alicia for taking such good care of Santi. She asks the court to grant Alicia custody of Santi. In Daniel's court case, evidence against him mounts, and it appears that he will be found guilty. Alicia's wealthier friends abandon her. The administration at Santi's expensive preschool tells her that she should enroll him in a school with more diversity where he would better fit in. In her confusion and in desperation to help her son, who she believes to be innocent, Alicia decides to hire an expensive criminal defense lawyer. Ignacio warns Alicia that the lawyer she wants to hire is unscrupulous. He is known for using expensive bribes and other means outside the courts to win his cases. When she tells Ignacio that she wants to downsize to a less expensive apartment and to cut spending in order to hire this lawyer, Ignacio tells her that he is leaving her. Santi misses his mother, Gladys. Alicia takes him to the prison where Gladys is held. It is her first visit with Gladys since she was imprisoned. Alicia had strongly criticized Gladys for her actions when she testified against her in court. She also lied under oath when she denied warning Gladys that if she got pregnant a second time there would be consequences. Vieytes suggested that Gladys' motivation for killing her own newborn was partly out of fear of losing both her secure job and her housing. During the prison visit, Gladys tells Alicia that Daniel had come to their home during a period in which he had been estranged from his parents. He had asked to come in and Gladys had let him. He then stole money from his parents and raped Gladys, leaving her pregnant. Daniel threatened to hurt Gladys and Santi if she told Alicia or anyone what he had done. The baby she killed was Alicia's grandson, and Gladys wanted Alicia to accept custody of Santi. As part of her inner journey, which leads to accepting that her son is the perpetrator, not a victim in the crimes against his ex-wife, his young child, and Gladys, Alicia begins to understand more about the complexity of violence against women from the psychologist and activist played by Paola Barrientos. As Alicia comes to understand the full implication of what Gladys had told her, she becomes an ally for both of Daniel's victims, Marcela and Gladys. She provides Marcela, and by extension, Gladys, with the crucial evidence Marcela needs to win her case against Daniel—evidence that Alicia had acquired as part of the $400,000 fee to the lawyer who had succeeded in getting Daniel released from prison by suppressing evidence. In one of the final scenes, Alicia, the psychologist and Vieytes are entering the courtroom where Gladys is appealing her sentence. The film ends with Alicia attending a family gathering with Santi, Marcela, and Alicia's grandson, with Marcela's family and friends, in a much humbler but happier home than that in which the film begins. ===== A governor appears in a remote tropical town in Colombia and prohibits all forms of artistic expression such as dancing and singing.

Jina was a poor, unrefined boy unlike Etiben who was intelligent, beautiful and belonged to a wealthy family.

But Etiben's marriage did not stop her and Jina from meeting secretly in the fields. One day, when Jina and Etiben were together in the field, Tenyur caught them red handed and beat Etiben black and blue until she fell unconscious. She felt sick and her condition worsened and finally she died. Jina became so dismal and inconsolable that he also fell sick and never recovered, leading to his death. Etiben and Jina's love got united only after their death. ===== Marguerite and Angèle are two young married women. The former is a mildly cynical Parisienne, and the latter a more innocent country girl. Angèle is indignant when her friend suggests that all husbands are untrustworthy, and she agrees to Marguerite's suggestion of putting the matter to a practical test. Each will attempt to woo the other's husband at a masked ball at the Opéra. With the aid of Hortense, Marguerite's maid, they concoct notes from supposed anonymous admirers to Georges and Paul, their spouses, inviting them to a rendezvous that evening. Both husbands fall for the ploy and invent plausible excuses for absenting themselves from home that night. Each meets his friend's wife, who is disguised under the folds of a "pink domino". (The Oxford English Dictionary defines a domino as "A kind of loose cloak, apparently of Venetian origin, chiefly worn at masquerades, with a small mask covering the upper part of the face"). Paul with Marguerite on his arm, and Georges conducting Angèle, both adjourn after midnight to private dining rooms in a fashionable restaurant. The potential for confusion is enhanced by the presence in another private room of Hortense, the maid, also wearing a pink domino. She is escorted by Henri, a young lawyer, the nephew of Marguerite's formidable aunt, Madame Beaubuisson. When the three couples have supped, and the champagne has flowed freely, a series of "quiproquos" – mistaken identities – follows, in which there is a continual, rapid interchange of partners. Hortense flirts with each of the men in turn, and eventually all three couples leave. Next morning Paul finds that Georges's wife had been at the ball, wearing a domino rose; Georges learns the same as regards Angèle. There is no doubt in the mind of either that he has terribly injured his friend, and both are conscience-stricken. A bracelet has been found in the restaurant, which fell from the arm of the mysterious "pink domino", and, in the midst of noisy and fruitless explanations between the whole party, it is brought in. This relieves Paul and Georges from their self recriminations, but it leads to a discovery that almost equally confounds them, for it turns out to belong to Madame Beaubuisson, a grande dame who for thirty years has been seen as a model of rectitude. In the end this mystery, as well as all the other incidents of the evening, is explained when it becomes known that the young lawyer had borrowed some of his aunt's jewellery with which to adorn Hortense. The latter's domino is produced; Paul sees in it a hole that had been burned by his cigar; Georges sees a corner that he had accidentally torn, and both are consequently enlightened as to whose conquest they have effected. Each keeps his knowledge to himself. Marguerite is pleased at the success of her plan and Angèle has had her lesson in Parisian philosophy; Marguerite has no great confidence that the men's reformation will last, but both wives are satisfied to forgive the antics of their penitent husbands. :Source: The Era."The Drama in Paris", The Era, 23 April 1876, p. 4 ===== Sopfünuo was a beautiful girl of Rüsoma village.

When the women of Lemnos killed all the men on the island, Hypsipyle had refused to kill her father Thoas, the king, and instead secretly helped him flee the island. She ruled Lemnos when Jason and the Argonauts visited the island, and she had, by Jason, twin sons Thoas and Euneus. Later, when the Lemnian women discovered Hypsipyle's deception, she fled the island, but was captured by pirates, and sold as a slave to Lycurgus, the priest of Zeus at Nemea. Hypsipyle has come to be the nursemaid of Opheltes, the infant son of Lycurgus, and his wife Eurydice.Gantz, p. 511; Collard and Cropp, p. 251; Euripides, Hypsipyle fr. 759a.72-74, 79-87 (Hypsipyle's flight, capture by pirates, slavery), fr. 752h.26-28 (Lycurgus as priest of Zeus), fr. 757 (Eurydice as mother), fr. 757.41-44 (Hypsipyle as nurse). Although Lycurgus is a king in later accounts, there is no indication of that here, see Bravo III, p. 107. As the action of the play begins, Hypsipyle's twin sons by Jason, Euneus and Thoas, arrive seeking shelter for the night.Euripides, Hypsipyle fr. 752c [= fr. 764 Nauck], fr. 752d. The sons have been separated from Hypsipyle since infancy, so neither recognizes the other. When Jason left Lemnos he had taken his sons to Colchis. After he died, Jason's fellow argonaut Orpheus took the boys to Thrace, where he raised them. They eventually met Hypsipyles' father Thoas, who took them back to Lemnos. From there they embarked on a search for their mother.Euripides, Hypsipyle fr. 759a.93-105 (Collard and Cropp, pp. 314-315). The Seven against Thebes have also just arrived and encounter Hypsipyle. Amphiaraus tells Hypsipyle that they need water for a sacrifice, and she leads the Seven to a spring.Euripides, Hypsipyle fr. 752h, fr. 753. Hypsipyle brings Opheltes with her, and somehow, in a moment of neglect, Opheltes is killed by a serpent.Euripides, Hypsipyle fr. 753d, fr. 754, fr. 754a. The child's mother Eurydice is about to have Hypsipyle put to death, when Amphiaraus arrives and Hypsipyle pleads with him to speak in her defense.Euripides, Hypsipyle fr. 757.37-68 (Collard and Cropp, pp. 294-297). Amphiaraus tells Euridice that the child's death was destined, proposes that funeral games be held in Opheltes' honor, and is able to convince Euridice to spare Hypsipyle's life.Euripides, Hypsipyle fr. 757.69-144 (Collard and Cropp, pp. 297-303\. The seer Amphiaraus describing his defense of Hypsipyle as relying "on piety", (fr. 757.73) is suggestive of the child's death having been ordained by the gods. Funeral games are held, and Hypsypyle's sons participate, as a result of which, a recognition and reunion between Hypsipyle and her sons is effected, who then manage to free Hypsipyle from her servitude.Euripides, Hypsipyle fr. 759a.58-110. The surviving fragments of Euripides' play do not make it clear how the recognition between Hypsipyle and her sons was brought about, but two later accounts may have been based on the play.Collard and Cropp, pp. 253 259, tests. iv, va with notes. According to the Second Vatican Mythographer, after the sons won the foot-race, at the funeral games, their names and parents were announced, and in this way their identities were revealed.Second Vatican Mythographer 141 Bode [= Euripides Hypsipyle test. va = 164 Pepin, pp. 166-167]. The Cyzicene epigrams, the third book of the Palatine Anthology, describes a depiction, on a temple in Cyzicus, of Euneus and Thoas showing Hypsipyle a gold ornament ("the golden vine") as proof of their identities.Greek Anthology 3.10 [= Palatine Anthology 3.10 = Euripides Hypsipyle test. iv]. Compare with Euripides Hypsipyle fr. 759a.110, where Euneus mentions a "wine-dark grape-bunch". ===== Im Chi-woo (So Yoo-jin) is someone who always bravely faces challenges that are thrown in her life.
