Patrick Frater Asia Bureau Chief The titles of Fukada Koji’s films almost drip with bitter irony. “Sayonara” seemed to be a farewell to human actors. Instead of being harmonious, Cannes Un Certain Regard jury prize-winner “Harmonium” was pitch black and steeped in quiet violence.

Although this debate rages on, ECU's research didn't conclude how much exercise should be undertaken to avoid these diseases; rather, it concluded whether it mattered at all. The study sought to understand whether frequency or quantity of exercise mattered more in the overall effectiveness of exercise.
