Leonardo DiCaprio On For Crime Thriller The Black Hand

A man who seemingly never found a book he
didn't want to adapt, Leonardo DiCaprio is
attached to star in yet another movie drawn
from a tome. And, as is his (Appian) way these
days, he'll also produce crime thriller The Black
Hand .
Stephan Talty's book chronicles the real-life
story of Joe Petrosino, a driven NYPD cop who
made it his life's mission to go after the
dangerous gang spreading a kidnapping ring
from Italy to America in the late 1890s.
The Black Hand (for such a mark was their
calling card) were ruthless and inspired fear
among the local Italian immigrant population,
but Petrosino won the citizens' trust and
created a network of informers. He sent many
of the gang back to Italy or locked them up,
but was finally lured to his death, leaving
behind a wife and children.
DiCaprio is working with The Gotham Group
and Paramount to bring the story to the
screen, and he's on the hunt for a writer to do
Petrosino's life justice.

How to improve your feminine looks

Is there a secret to building a sexy female body? A lot of trainers would say no. A lot of trainers will say that you don’t need to differentiate between men and women when designing training programs. They’ll tell you that the physiological needs are nearly identical and only the hormones are different; thankfully, I’m not like most trainers. In fact, I disagree, and I believe that in a few specific ways, men and women need to train quite differently. Firstly, the idea that only the hormones are different is flawed, fundamentally. I’ve written about this a lot, so I don’t want to rehash, but the fact is that hormones change the game significantly. The hormonal differences between men and women account for more than 90% of the differences in the way men and women actually respond to training and nutrition. So, while I agree that on just about any level that there are a great deal of similarities in the way you can approach training, I recognize that there are som
