THE KEEP FIT BRIGADE
Group of chorus girls are seen on stage singing a song and dancing. Fred Dyer - famous welterweight and Physical Culture Expert takes the girls through a vigorous exercise programme. <br/> <br/>The girls (now in gym gear of sorts) skip with ropes, throw a medicine ball to each other in a circle, hit a punch-ball, perform sit ups, air cycling and high kicks etc. One of the intertitles reads: "Give your best friends - your internal organs - a treat! Do these floor exercises - regularly." Fred gets one of the girls to have a go with a punch ball. One swipe and the ball is knocked off its spot. He feels her muscles! One of the women spas with Fred in the boxing ring and knocks him over. By means of a camera trick (optical printing), the girls appear to dance on Fred's arm. <br/> <br/>Was item in Eve's Film Review issue 331. <br/> <br/>Safety print exists - show print. Probably to be found in the "Thing of Beauty is a Joy Forever" roll.

So I can understand both sides, but I'm glad it's open again." 13. Cyclists waiting to enter tunnel 14. SOUNDBITE (Dutch) Kees Langeveld, Amsterdam cyclist: "Well, there are architects who said it didn't fit, there are people who think that it is dangerous, pedestrians and cyclists passing across one and other. But in the rest of Amsterdam there is no problem, cyclists and pedestrians go together." 15. Cyclists passing camera on square in front of museum 16. Various of cyclists in action in Amsterdam STORYLINE Cyclists in Amsterdam finally got to use the cycle passage that leads straight through the heart of the Netherlands' newly renovated Rijksmuseum on Monday. It took the capital's pro-bike lobby years of fighting to overcome architects, museum directors and a local government that sought to have the tunnel closed forever. And there is still some doubt as to whether the path may not be closed at times to prevent unsuspecting tourists and pedestrians from being struck by bikes. The Rijksmuseum, which houses national treasures including paintings by Rembrandt van Rijn, Vincent van Gogh and Johannes Vermeer, reopened last month after a 10-year renovation. The dispute over the bike path lasted a little longer. Traffic had been allowed through the tunnel-like passage under the brick building since it was constructed in 1885, with the architect envisaging the building as a gateway between the two sides of Amsterdam. In 2001, Spanish architecture firm Cruz y Ortiz won a contest for a design to renovate the museum. Their original plan brought light into the centre of the building by opening its central courtyards to natural light, and eliminating the path to make way for a new entrance. That set off the first round of the dispute, with the museum's previous director fighting what he termed the "provincial" standpoint of the bike lobby that opposed the plan. But in 2005, the bike lobby won, and an altered design that allowed the path was approved. In 2008, however, current museum director Wim Pijbes renewed the fight against the bike path, proposing alternative locations. In 2012, the government of the Amsterdam borough where the museum is located joined Pijbes, saying a traffic study had determined the bikes should be routed around the building, to protect pedestrians. The cyclist lobby again fought back. Dueling petitions in favour of and against the bike path were launched, with the one circulated by the pro-bike path lobby gaining more signatures, by a three to one margin. The city ruled again in favour of the bike path last June, and the 2005 plan is for the most part what became reality. The floors of the courtyards were dug out, and the museum's new entrance was placed below street level. The old path is now enclosed in glass, affording bikes and pedestrians a view of the museum as they cruise through. A borough government spokesman on Monday said that some safety issues remained unresolved and it was not clear if the path would be open on all busy days. But a spokeswoman for the city's traffic minister said the path would definitely be open all day and night.

I'm a fan of the Tour de France for as long as I live and there are no secrets: this is a sporting event and hard work wins it, so Vive le Tour, forever." 24. Spectators clapping 25. Medium shot of Lance Armstrong standing next to second-placed Italian Ivan Basso Germany's Jan Ullrich as the US national anthem is played STORYLINE: Lance Armstrong has won an unprecedented seventh Tour de France race on Sunday, closing the curtain on one of the most extraordinary cycling careers ever. The American safely crossed the line at the end of the 144.5-kilometre (90-mile) final stage in the Champs Elysees in Paris. The last climb in his career was to the podium, on which he stood next to second-placed Italian Ivan Basso and the rider he beat most often, Germany's Jan Ullrich. The most successful Tour de France rider in history looked to the sky as the US national anthem was played for the seventh time in a row. Armstrong's mother was on hand for the victory, as were his twin daughters. Grace and Isabelle, aged three, wore yellow dresses - the colour of the race leader's jersey that Armstrong slipped into one last time. Armstrong looked gaunt, hollow-cheeked and tanned after riding 3,593 kilometres (2,232.7 miles) across France and its mountains over the past three weeks. He was then handed a microphone and became the first race winner to make a speech from the podium. "To all the cynics, I'm sorry for you. I'm sorry you can't believe in miracles. This is a great sporting event and hard work wins it," Armstrong said. "Vive le Tour forever." Points classification winner Thor Hushovd of Norway and Denmark's King of the Mountains Michael Rasmussen brought a Nordic touch to the Texan's farewell ceremony. Ukraine's Yaroslav Popovych, the best under-25 rider in the Tour, gave hope to Armstrong's Discovery Channel team mates that the yellow jersey might stay with them next season. Kazakh Alexander Vinokourov won the final stage of the race after making a break on the last lap on the Champs Elysees. Armstrong's final Tour was arguably one of the easiest for him, even if the 33-year-old had to be content with winning only one stage, Saturday's 55.5-kilometre individual time trial in St Etienne.
COVID-19 / BALANCING THE ECONOMY (2020)
Despite concerns from health officials, there’s a growing call from President Donald Trump to open cities and businesses back up by Easter, even as COVID-19 cases skyrocket. The renewed focus on revving back up the economic engine is catching on. Minnesota State Senator Scott Jensen released a statement Tuesday warning against the “unintended consequences” of these extreme measures. But VV Chari, an economist at the University of Minnesota and a consultant to the Federal Reserve, cautions what could happen if we jump too soon. “Getting back into normal economic activity, without adequate testing infrastructure, is just going to lead us into this cycle forever,” Chari said in an interview with 5 INVESTIGATES. The only feasible way to ease “back to normal” is wide-spread testing on a massive scale, according to Chari. In that situation, he said that people testing positive for the virus would head to isolation and people who test negative could head to work, while still practicing social distancing. “If we do that without a dramatic ramp-up in testing, what’s going to happen on week four or five is a whole bunch of new cases. The pressure to go into a lockdown will be huge. It’ll be enormous. That’s the problem with the ‘lets go back to the way we used to do things’ — no,” Chari added. On Monday, Tedros Adhanom, director of the World Health Organization, underscored the role testing plays to get out of this crisis. “To win, we need to attack the virus with aggressive and targeted tactics, testing every suspected case,” Adhanom said. The problem in Minnesota and beyond is there simply are not enough tests or materials to process them. On Tuesday, The Minnesota Department of Health reported it only ran 150 tests in the last 24 hours, one of the smallest batches since the outbreak began. Gov. Tim Walz emphasized on a conference call with reporters Thursday that even if President Trump calls for an early return to normalcy, he will do what’s best for Minnesotans. “We all understand this is taking a huge economic toll, but this is going to take some time. It's going to be well beyond Easter, and I don't think it does us any good to pretend that it's not,” Walz said. Doug Loon, president of the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce, released a statement on Tuesday that “Minnesotans’ health and safety are paramount concerns for all of us,” and that the “balance is essential in how government responds to safeguard public health and protect the economy for the long term.” Loon had no comment about what role ramped up testing plays in that balance.

It will also be a day when in the worst of times, the best of human spirit was on display. That spirit is something that no earthquake can ever take away." 16. Wide of ceremony STORYLINE: People across New Zealand marked the one-year anniversary of the devastating Christchurch earthquake on Wednesday. More than 10-thousand people gathered for a memorial service in the city's North Hagley Park, and stood in silence as police officers and firefighters read out the names of all 185 victims of the quake. A police spokesman said the emergency services representatives who read the names had been involved in rescue efforts. "There are many unknowns," said Bob Parker, the mayor of Christchurch. "There are questions still to be answered, suburbs to be rebuilt, a city to be rebuilt." The earthquake destroyed thousands of homes and much of downtown Christchurch, causing 30 (b) billion New Zealand dollars (25 (b) billion US dollars) of damage, according to a government estimate. Jerry Mateparae, New Zealand's Governor-General, compared the rebuilding of New Zealand's damaged communities to a butterfly emerging from its cocoon. "Like the life cycle of the butterfly, from the shattered cocoon of a once great place, a new and vibrant city can arise," he said. "It will be a city and a region inhabited by a resilient people and built on the foundations of a strong community." Children in the park released 185 Monarch butterflies, while people across the city tossed flowers into the Avon River to remember those who died. The reading of names was followed by two minutes of silence at 12:51 p.m. local time (0151 GMT), the moment the magnitude-6.1 quake struck on 22 February 2011. Earlier on Wednesday, a memorial for the families of those who died was held in Christchurch's Latimer Square. John Key, New Zealand's Prime Minister, said that 22 February "will forever be one of the darkest days in this proud nation's history." "It will also be a day when in the worst of times, the best of human spirit was on display," he added. US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, who visited Christchurch a few months before the quake, sent a video message that was played to the crowd.
