This new documentary about cities, planning, and architecture really looks promising. Christopher Hawthorne writes in the Los Angeles Times:
“The film, which premiered this month at the Toronto International Film Festival, features interviews with the architects Rem Koolhaas, Yung Ho Chang, Alejandro Aravena and Ricardo Scofidio along with mayors, activists and planners.

Ovarian cancer is one of the deadliest cancers affecting women today. Every year about 14,000 women will die from ovarian cancer, and more than 23,000 will be diagnosed with the disease. It ranks as the fourth leading cause of cancer death in women. Most women have less than a 2 percent lifetime chance of developing ovarian cancer. Ovarian cancer has long been called “The Silent Killer” because it usually isn’t discovered until its advanced stages. In 75 percent of cases the ovarian cancer has spread to other parts of the abdomen by the time it is detected. In this situation, treatment may be less effective. With earlier detection of stage I disease, the survival rate can be close to 90 percent. Continue reading
