The expression “thanks to” (l.4) can be replaced by due to, without changing the original meaning of sentence.
The long White House service of an African-American butler
Cecil Ganes (Forest Whitaker) is used as a prism through
which we view the development of the civil-rights movement.
As the liveried Cecil, silent and dignified, serves sandwiches
and coffee and exchanges courtesies with a variety of chief
executives, Cecil’s son, Louis (David Oyelowo), becomes a
militant and manages to hit every highlight, including the
Freedom Rides in 1961, and Martin Luther King’s motel room
on the day that he’s shot. The movie’s right-mindedness is
relieved now and then by scenes at Cecil’s house, where his
wife, Gloria (Oprah Winfrey), grows restive and resentful,
drinks and dallies with a neighbor.
Elysium
The title of Neil Blomkamp’s new film, set in the year 2154,
refers to a space station: a haven for the wealthy, spinning just
beyond the limits of our polluted planet. Our hero is Max (Matt
Damon), who, like the majority of humans, toils and sweats on
Earth, where the cops are intemperate robots. After an accident
at work, he takes on a reckless task, assailing an evil billionaire
(William Fichtner) and winding up on a shuttle to Elysium,
hell-bent on reaching this artificial heaven and obtaining
justice. Rather than viewing a future world from a distance and
admiring its digital enhancements, we feel thrust into the thick
of it with such immediacy and sensory impact that, like most of
its inhabitants, we can only dream of escape.
Enough Said
This mild romantic comedy has an up-front twist that’s beside
the point. Eva (Julia Louis-Dreyfus), a California divorcée who
works as a masseuse, goes to a party and meets Marianne
(Catherine Keener), a poet who becomes a client and a friend,
and Albert (James Gandolfini), a TV historian, who soon
becomes Eva’s boyfriend – and who turns out to be Marianne’s
ex-husband. Much else is beside the point, too, such as Eva’s
trivial conflicts with her daughter, Ellen (Tracey Fairaway),
who’s about to leave home for college, as is Albert and
Marianne’s daughter, Tess (Eve Hewson).

The number of films released in Spain in 2013 is less than half the number of foreign films released in the same period.

Complications of replacement therapy include:
- Developing antibodies (proteins) that attack the clotting factor
- Developing viral infections from human clotting factors
- Damage to joints, muscles, or other parts of the body resulting from delays in treatment
Antibodies to the clotting factor.
Antibodies can destroy the clotting factor before it has a chance to work. This is a very serious problem. It prevents the main treatment for hemophilia (replacement therapy) from working. These antibodies, also called inhibitors, develop in about 20-30 percent of people who have severe hemophilia A. Inhibitors develop in 2-5 percent of people who have hemophilia B
When antibodies develop, doctors may use larger doses of clotting factor or try different clotting factor sources. Sometimes the antibodies go away. Researchers are studying new ways to deal with antibodies to clotting factors.
Viruses from human clotting factors.
Clotting factors made from human blood can carry the viruses that cause HIV/AIDS and hepatitis. ....I.... , the risk of getting an infectious disease from human clotting factors is very small due to:
- Careful screening of blood donors
- Testing of donated blood products
- Treating donated blood products with a detergent and heat to destroy viruses - Vaccinating people who have hemophilia for hepatitis A and B
Damage to joints, muscles, and other parts of the body.
Delays in treatment can cause damage such as:
- Bleeding into a joint. If this happens many times, it can lead to changes in the shape of the joint and impair the joint's function.
- Swelling of the membrane around a joint. - Pain, swelling, and redness of a joint.
- Pressure on a joint from swelling, which can destroy the joint.
