In 1996, Wexler released Me & My Matchmaker, an intimate portrait of a feisty and meddling Jewish matchmaker in Chicago who made it her personal mission to get the filmmaker married. The film won the Audience Award for Best Documentary at the Slamdance Film Festival. Film critic Roger Ebert wrote that it was "amazing and touching." Timeout London said it was "... funny, fascinating, and finally faintly disturbing." Wexler's 2001 film, Air Force One, aired as a prime time PBS - National Geographic special. As the first filmmaker ever granted unprecedented behind-the-scenes access, Wexler told the story of the "Flying White House" both in terms of its unique technological and historical significance. The film included original interviews with President Jimmy Carter, President George H. W. Bush, President Bill Clinton, and President George W. Bush. The 2005 Oscar shortlisted film Tell Them Who You Are was an exploration of Wexler's fraught relationship with his father, legendary filmmaker and two-time Oscar-winning cinematographer Haskell Wexler. It won a place on Roger Ebert's Top 10 Documentaries of the year, The Associated Press' Top Ten films of the year, as well as praise from The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, and others. Judd Apatow spoke about the film on NPR's Morning Edition, recounting his reaction to a scene where, after viewing the film, Haskell tells Mark he's "a hell of a filmmaker". Apatow said "I sat in bed, my wife is sleeping, and I am just bawling like a little girl. You can tell this man has been waiting his entire life to hear his dad say that sincerely." The Los Angeles Times declared that the film " ...is meta-layered cinema" which "...fits squarely into the new genre of nonfiction film that perhaps should be called the Me Documentary, the personal film that is indelibly shaped by the presence of the filmmaker." Wexler's 2010 film, How to Live Forever, followed the filmmaker's quest for eternal youth. In interviews with a wide variety of subjects, including fitness legend Jack LaLanne, author Ray Bradbury, futurist Aubrey de Gray and inventor Ray Kurzweil, the film invited viewers to consider ways to live a long life, but one that is also meaningful. The New York Times wrote that it was "Engaging... remarkably spry and lighthearted." The film was selected by AARP The Magazine as a Movie For Grownups, noting that "For boomers especially, How to Live Forever is the perfect film at the perfect moment."

Slow/looping motion on rainfall magnitude

Storms which have moved slowly, or loop, over a succession of days lead to the highest rainfall amounts for several countries. Riehl calculated that 33.97 inches (863 mm) of rainfall per day can be expected within one-half degree, or 35 miles (56 km), of the center of a mature tropical cyclone. Many tropical cyclones progress at a forward motion of 10 knots, which would limit the duration of this excessive rainfall to around one-quarter of a day, which would yield about 8. 50 inches (216 mm) of rainfall. This would be true over water, within 100 miles (160 km) of the coastline, and outside topographic features. As a cyclone moves farther inland and is cut off from its supply of warmth and moisture (the ocean), rainfall amounts from tropical cyclones and their remains decrease quickly.

Sons' Careers in Motion Picture Film Processing, Sales and Rejuvenation

Alan Freedman's three sons - Harold, Irwin (Buck), and Myron (Mickey) - all began their careers with DeLuxe. Harold served as Engineering Assistant to the President, managed the sound department. He was instrumental in the development and implementation of numerous innovations in sound technology including the conversion from optical to magnetic processes. He in addition conceived and patented the product and technique for film splicing utilizing a sprocketed adhesive backed film, a technique that is still in use today. After DeLuxe closed its New York plant, Harold finished his career with Technicolor. Buck served both as Assistant to the President and as president of the Toronto lab. He represented the New York labs in union contract negotiations. In the early 1960s when Fox was again running into great financial difficulties Buck kept product flowing into DeLuxe by successfully selling DeLuxe's excess capacity to most of New York's independent producers. He left DeLuxe shortly after the Zanuck takeover of Fox, and was motion picture film national sales manager for Agfa-Gevaert until his retirement. Mickey managed DeLuxe's Chicago Crescent lab. After leaving DeLuxe, Mickey pioneered and then improved film rejuvenation. He patented and implemented new techniques which improved both quality and profitability, and he served as general manager of Hollywood Film Corp.
