How do the professionals in the adult industry avoid contracting STDs?

Up until recently, this was all managed by the Adult Industry Medical Health Care Foundation. Every performer was required to go through a complete suite of tests every 30 days. Under federal and state regulations, condoms are mandatory.

However, producers don't like to use them and no one is enforcing their use regularly, but the testing is mandatory and performers must bring an affidavit of their health to shoots

According to a few blog posts, "Talent Testing" is the new company that is helping manage the testing and certifying the health of the performers.

How come Ivan exists in the Machinist?

My opinion is that Ivan is his evil alter-ego. He is him on the day of the accident, the sun glasses the boots , the clothes, everything.

He comes back and haunts him until he needs to finally admit his guilt. He doesn t exists in reality that s why the carpet is empty when he wants to throw the body, people at the shop don t know him, his acid quotes "You caused the accident..not ME"..or "What have I done with Nicholas?" meaning "why u blaming me...u were the one who killed him", the sign that he makes at the shop by showing cut throat with his thumb and then the work accident occur, the fact that he can drive his car on red light not bumping into the other vehicles..etc.

Also we can say Ivan is the Death itself because we see that he took Nicolas with him into car and enter both into building. He took him from the day of the accident and they are both on the other plan of existence. "C mon you know he is dead (speaking of Nicholas).He try to kill him without success, he reappears at the pier "Who are you?" and he finally recognize his guild and regain sleep and peace.

Also I think they put the name Ivan to this character regarding the legendary russian figure Ivan the Terrible who killed his own son and made a lot of murders, a sadist and a maniac. There is the motive of the one-hand thing also.

One hand on the wheel during the accident, Miller lose his hand, mill---Miller word asociation, one hand drawn on the refrigerator, one hand on the ride in the amusement park and the premonitory quote of Miller :" Reznik I need a HAND!" However the picture with Reynolds and him fishing explain everything. All sees him in the picture only he is the only who doesn t want to admit.

And if u look very closely and rewind movie u will see for few seconds in the scene where he chase Ivan s Pontiac firebird car he try to write down the plate numbers. 743 CRN or something...when he lose the car and gets down from his van you can see his plate numbers is the vice-versa of Ivan car 347 NRC.

That's another clue we can figure that Ivan is actually himself.And I think the director wanted to make analogy with the old Christian Bale American Psycho movie because this word appear few times, Stevie quote "My ex he s a fucking psycho" and when he throw him away from her home "you re a fucking psycho..fucking psycho..."

However is a great movie which needs to be seen few times to be fully understood and in different states of mind.

Why was princess Leia not executed?

To elaborate on the great point about Always Save the Girl made by KillerZ, Leia was the entire plot device for Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. The reason the story takes place at all is because of Princess Leia. C-3P0 and R2-D2 seek out Obi-wan Kenobi because Leia asks R2-D2 to (C-3P0) is really just pulled along for the ride. While on their way to finding Obi-wan, the two droids are captured and subsequently sold to Owen Lars, Luke's uncle and caretaker. Through R2-D2 escaping custody of its new owners, Luke is led into meeting Obi-wan. R2-D2 plays the entire cry for help message to Obi-wan. This instigates Luke learning about his real father, the Force, and ultimately being taken a long to save Princess Leia.

If Leia were to be executed during this time, the driving force behind the story of A New Hope would have ended. There is a crossroads now. Yes, this can happen and the story can continue on in another direction. Or No, this cannot happen because then George Lucas can't tell the story he intended to tell. This ties into part of the origins of Star Wars in that this is almost exactly the same driving plot device as The Hidden Fortress. A very big influence on the creation of Star Wars, The Hidden Fortress follows General Rokurota Makabe, Tahei, and Matashichi as they escort their Kingdom's Princess safely back from enemy territory. The Princess (in Makabe's case) and her gold (in Tahei and Matashichi's cases) are the plot devices for this story. Had the gold been handled differently, or something different happened to the Princess, Kurosawa would have had to tell a different story.

Why is Mal sabotaging all/only professional dreams of Cobb?

Maybe I overlooked something, but Mal is trying to sabotage (killing his teammates) all dreams of Cobb concerned with his work (theft of information in dreams, inception of ideas). But during the training of Ariadne in the large industry hall, there is a scene, where he dreams on his own and then Ariadne joins the dream. When Mal sees her, she instantly gets angry.

Of course, Mal is a projection of Cobb, so why is she always sabotaging his professional dreams, when he seems to be able to dream of her as his loving wife?

film techniques - Actors acting the real actors inside a movie?

In the TV show Supernatural, Season 6, Episode 15, Sam and Dean find themselves pushed into an "alternate reality" where they are two actors acting in a TV show called Supernatural. And their names (in the alternate reality) are Jared Padalecki (Sam) and Jensen Ackles (Dean).

In real world, those two are the two main actors in Supernatural (in our time, our world). Its the same case with Misha Collins (Castiel) and Robert Singer (Producer and Bobby Singer). Also in this reality, Genevieve Padalecki is Sam's wife (this is also true in real life- Jared Padalecki is married to Genevieve Padalecki).

Is there any specific name for this kind of technique? The real actors acting as themselves in the perspective of their characters?

If there is, are there any specific reasons and work that go into this?

expressions - What is a better way to say "computer person with a lot of experience in multiple parts of computer-related areas"?

For any kind of "formal" context, I doubt terms like computer guru/veteran would be suitable.

Assuming OP particularly wishes to convey the three specific areas in which he has extensive experience, perhaps...

I have experience across a broad range of languages, applications, and team roles.

Personally, I'd be inclined to add (up to and including managing teams), because many people might assume team roles only goes up to team leader at best - and I personally would say that's a considerable step below manager.

What is Bruce's alibi in the end?

At the end of Dark Knight Rises, we see the twist of Bruce/Batman taking the bomb himself across the sea, presumably, to sacrifice himself to keep Gotham safe.

We know this isn't the case for Bruce Wayne is very much alive. Only Batman, is known as dead to the general public. We see at Bruce's supposed funeral, only Gordon, Blake, Fox and Alfred are present.

However, what is the reason the public knows Bruce to be dead, without revealing his identity to those who already know?

It is said on wiki that he is presumed dead by the riots, but that is never stated anywhere implicitly whether in papers of the movie, or by any character, nor is this referenced anywhere.

Is there anything official stating why Gotham thinks Bruce Wayne is dead, without assuming he is Batman?
