Rishi Sunak boasts David Cameron's return was 'best kept secret' in behind the scenes video from reshuffle
15 November 2023, 14:34
Rishi Sunak has boasted that David Cameron's return was the "best kept secret" in a behind the scenes video from his Cabinet reshuffle.
Listen to this article
The clip gave an insight into the Cabinet shake-up on Monday, which saw Suella Braverman sacked as Home Secretary and replaced by James Cleverly while former PM David Cameron was brought back as Foreign Secretary.
Mr Cameron was given a peerage by Mr Sunak at the start of the week as he made a surprise return to politics.
"This is somehow the best kept secret," Mr Sunak said.
Mr Cameron replied: "Unbelievable."
Rishi Sunak says David Cameron's return was 'best kept secret'
Mr Sunak is understood to have first spoken to Mr Cameron during a secret meeting last week.
He was taken into Downing Street through a back door to discuss the potential for a return and the pair outlined a comeback deal, which Mr Cameron formally agreed to on Friday.
The reshuffle also saw promotions for Richard Holden, who was made Tory Party chairman, Victoria Atkins, who became Health Secretary, and Laura Trott, who is Chief Secretary to the Treasury.
Esther McVey also made a return to the Cabinet as Minister without Portfolio. But it is understood that her brief is to be the ‘minister for common sense’ in her Government role.
Meanwhile, Steve Barclay was moved from Health Secretary to Environment Secretary after Therese Coffey was sacked.
The clip also showed Mr Sunak addressing his fresh Cabinet for the first time on Tuesday.
He said he was confident he now had an "energetic and enthusiastic team" to deliver on his priorities.
"I'm confident we can demonstrate to the country we're making progress on the priorities I set out at the beginning of the year; to halve inflation, grown the economy, reduce debt, cut waiting lists, and to stop the boats," Mr Sunak said.
"That's the change we're going to deliver and looking around this table, I know we have an energetic and enthusiastic team that is going to deliver for the country.
"So let's get to work."

Touching surfaces may still be risky if the person then touches their face
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has tweaked its Covid-19 transmission information webpage to make it clear that the primary way the coronavirus spreads is from person-to-person, adding that the virus does not spread easily from touching surfaces, objects, or animals.
Coronavirus is as dangerous as it is because of how easily it can spread. Apart from taking measures to shield ourselves from other people, we have also trained ourselves to disinfect surfaces to avoid the risk of coming into contact with virus-laden particles; rightly so, since the virus can survive anywhere from hours to days on certain materials.
But CDC has changed its Covid-19 guidelines in recent days to clarify that the virus spreads mainly through person-to-person contact, and that it finds it much harder to spread from contaminated surfaces, reports BGR in an article.
However, CDC’s webpage does mention that touching surfaces may still be risky if the person then touches their face.
“It may be possible that a person can get Covid-19 by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching their own mouth, nose, or possibly their eyes,” the webpage reads. “This is not thought to be the main way the virus spreads, but we are still learning more about this virus.”
Yahoo Life has pointed out that the World Health Organization has not made any changes to its own recommendations. The organization also emphasizes that the coronavirus spreads “primarily from person to person,” but adds that “it can also spread if you touch contaminated objects and surfaces.”
Coronavirus has so far infected 5,085,666 people and killed 329,736 people globally, according to Worldometer.

With dozens of fans gathered in the promotion area and looking down from the mall’s interior verandas, Soulja Boy put on a surprise performance.
Appearing alongside representatives from MPT, IntelMax, and The Helping Hands Project, which are sponsoring tomorrow’s event, Soulja Boy posed for photos with fans and answered questions.
One of the sponsors asked the artist about his plans to fight singer Chris Brown in a boxing match. Soulja answered: “That’s kind of in the past, you know what I’m sayin’? You move on, you move past things, you get into situations with people. That’s behind me now, you know what I’m sayin’? Much love to him. Wish him the best. Much respect.”
When asked his opinion of US President Donald Trump, the “Crank That” artist quipped: “Soulja Boy runnin’ for president. Soon, very soon. Soulja Boy is gonna be the new president.”
He then clarified: “You know, it is what it is, you know? In the country where I’m from, you wanna bring the people together. We’re all about promoting positivity and peace and love, so I just hope that he can just keep everybody together and we all can come together as one people.”
One reporter asked Soulja about his first impressions of Yangon. He said: “I love it so much. I love it. It’s good to be here. I took a long, long, long flight to be here. I love the people. I love the fans. It’s great to be here, and I can’t wait to come back.”
American artist Nelly and Korean singer CL were originally meant to join Soulja Boy on the UnderDawg Festival roster on May 13, but the organizers announced on May 7 that those acts had to be rescheduled. The announcement said Nelly was preoccupied with “emergency family issues”.

Cops to probe alleged brutality in Bersih rally
KUALA LUMPUR, July 18 — Six teams will be set up to probe alleged incidents of brutality and violence by the authorities during the Bersih 2.0 rally on July 9, Deputy Inspector-General of Police Datuk Khalid Abu Bakar has said. He also appealed to the
“We will investigate transparently, in detail, and the police will not hide any facts,” Khalid said after opening an anti-car theft workshop in Genting Highlands.
Police have already formed three teams to investigate the death of protester Baharuddin Ahmad, whom authorities said died of a heart attack, and claims that police fired tear gas and water cannon into Tung Shin Hospital that day.
One team will investigate Baharuddin’s death, another will look into Tung Shin doctors’ claims that police fired into the hospital compound while the third will probe the incident itself, which has been denied by the police and the hospital’s management.
The Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition has been put on the defensive over the Bersih rally for the past week as the international media from Singapore to the UK criticised the government’s handling of public dissent.
Bersih estimates that 50,000 people showed up for its rally for free and fair elections despite efforts to prevent the gathering from taking place, while police said there were only 6,000.
The protest turned chaotic when police fired tear gas and water cannons at thousands of demonstrators, resulting in nearly 1,700 arrests, scores injured and the death of ex-military man Baharuddin, 59.
The government has promised to investigate allegations of police brutality while the Human Rights Commission of Malaysia (Suhakam) will hold a separate public inquiry into police conduct during the Bersih rally

Welcome back, kids, to another week of Kid’s Corner with me, Angelique!
This week we are traveling to Mexico…I invite you to learn a new craft called the Huichol Ojo de Dios or Huichol God’s Eye. The Huichol (a term given during the Spanish Invasion), who refer to themselves as Wirrárrica or Wirraritari (plural), are an Indigenous people who live throughout the Sierra Madre Occidental range that is part of various states of Nayarit, Jalisco, Zacatecas, and Durango in Mexico.
You may have seen or made one of these colorful creations at one time. The Huichol make them for a few different reasons; they are given to children when they are born as a means of protection or if they get ill, a prayer to their gods, a gift for someone, and as a piece of art that can be relatively easy for children to make. It is essentially a way for each Huichol artist to tell their stories and myths. The Ojo de Dios is made using colorful yarn wrapped around two sticks that eventually become a diamond shape. The five points represent the five cardinal directions; North, South, East, West and the center.
- Yarn- four different colors
- Two sticks or two Popsicle sticks
- Glue (optional)
Start by gluing two Popsicle sticks (or sticks you find outside) in the form of a plus or cross shape (+). While that is drying, pick out four different colors of yarn, or use what you find at home. If you do not have glue, you can attach sticks together by starting to wrap the yarn diagonally; eventually the sticks will be stable enough to start.
Choose your first color, wrap over and around one stick, and then continue diagonally until you have gone around each of the sticks. The middle part will be the eye and you can make it as large as you like by continuing around again until the color represented in the middle (the eye) is as large as you like it.
Once you have completed the eye, choose your next color and tie it to the tail of the first color, now continue to the next stick using the same method of over and around and continuing diagonally, making that color as wide or as thin as you like.
When you have finished all the colors and created your diamond shape, knot or glue the end to the back. You can add an extra piece of looped yarn to hang the God’s Eye. For younger children you can use the variegated yarn so that there is less need to tie the separate pieces of yarn together.
This piece of art you create can be for all ages; many of the middle school students I have worked with have shared it helps them to relax if they are feeling anxious. The little ones may need a little bit more help but the repetition lends itself to being an accessible craft for all of the family.

Yesterday we went in search of the sea. Lucy wanted real waves and we drove into Wales. Just a few miles over the border we realised that travel restrictions in Wales are still quite strict and so we turned around and headed home. We spent the day exploring the Wirral; views of the Welsh mountains, river estuary, unspoilt saltmarsh, sand and waves. We watched rain clouds roll in off the sea following the path of the river. We spent an hour watching the tide come in very slowly, then in a few short minutes we watched waters pour onto the beach swallowing up the sand banks like a flood.
There is a moment when the landscape you are in meets the fall of the day and a certain shift in the light meets the longing of your heart. In that moment beauty comes as a gift. You can’t plan for these times. Nature is her own master. All you can do is get out as much as possible and be in the places where gifted moments might (or might not) come.
Of late I’ve been overwhelmed with decisions. I don’t mean big, well-defined decisions with concrete and time specific outcomes. I mean the simple human decisions like; how do I make a life? There’s no shortage of information and it’s being fired at me all day long. If more information was what I needed I’d already have the answers. Computer turned off and phone in airplane mode I make the radical decision to listen to my own heart and trust the things she has to say. I don’t need another guru. Turns out I need less information not more.
This is why I keep on walking the paths of my own little patch. When I get to the end of my road the shrubs that the builders planted, thin out and the wild things begin. There’s a margin of trees between the hedge and the road and blackbirds have been nesting there. This morning there was a fledgling on the path. Wing feathers perfectly formed but around the heads and the breast still fluffy like something from the nest. She had no fear of me and I stood close enough to touch her, close enough for her to look me in the eye. I wasn’t expected and it came as a gift. There’s a fox who hunt these meadows and a hare that fast-runs the edges of the fields. Some evening a barn owl will quietly quarter the long grass looking for prey. Some days you get to see these things but other days you don’t. Some days you’re left to keep company with the wind in the grass and the flowers that grow between.
Last night I walked the path at the end of the day. I paused in the shelter of the oak tree to watch the birds and again by the ditch, swallows overhead. There was no owl hunting over the meadow but spikes of flowers rose magnificent from the bank and tiny blooms in yellow and white huddled at my feet. No one teaches you what to do when such beauty comes. There are no rules, no set words, no liturgical actions just the raising up of the heart in response to the moment that will be gone before a word is said.
On an evening like this the names are a prayer; rosebay willow herb, viper’s bugloss, thistle, stitchwort, hog weed and rose.

Commentary, Release all government records created before 1946!
Old news keeps appearing. Regular readers of HRWG News will know that in the past few issues news items about World War II records are grouped under the heading of the war, simply because there have been so many of them. But we are also seeing a lot of stories about old records that are not open. “Good reads” in this issue has a complaint by a Turkish historian over lack of access to Turkey’s World War I era-records, a complaint that would be echoed by researchers trying to understand what happened during the period of the Armenian genocide. Turkey is not alone, of course. For example, in November 2014 Spain’s defense ministry refused to declassify records from the 1930s Civil War and the Francisco Franco dictatorship, saying it had “insufficient resources to analyze their contents.” A case before the European Court of Human Rights was brought by Mikhail Suprun who, along with the archivist who provided him the records, was convicted in a Russian court for violating ‘personal and family secret’ information while studying cases of ethnic Germans who were repressed and committed to special settlements in Arkhangelsk oblast during and after World War II. The records of the Japanese military during World War II are only selectively available.
Other countries and international institutions are opening early twentieth century records without problems. In 2014, for example, the United Nations opened the WWII War Crimes Commission records; the World War II era records of the French railroad, which transported victims to roundups that led to German extermination camps, were opened; the Vatican promised to open its World War II records. The personnel and related records of the NSDAP(Germany’s Nazi party) and its affiliated organizations and activities from the founding of the Party in 1920 until 1945 have been open at the U.S. National Archives for two decades.
Think of the issues that could be at least somewhat clarified by the release of all government records through World War II. Today the intellectual actors behind the wars of the first half of the 20th century are long dead, and most of the participants still alive were youths hauled into service. If we could agree that the government records through World War II would be opened without further review, consider what would be available: we could better understand the slaughter of the Spanish Civil War, the Turkish point of view during the attacks against Armenians, the Japanese Army’s organization of the “comfort women” stations throughout Asia, the purges in the Soviet Union. Although we would not have the records of the often bloody end of colonialism, we would know more about the administration of the colonies than we do now. And even if we continue to close records relating to pensions for people who are still alive, we would know far more about the people who lived during those turbulent decades.
As Melanie Altanian points out in her recent publication for swisspeace, “Archives against Genocide Denialism?” opening records does not at all guarantee that the records will be understood or believed: there are both selective use of archival material and the denial of particular evidence to contend with. But surely, surely it is better to argue about records that everyone can use than hypothesize based on partial evidence and records we can’t see. Nearly a century since the end of World War I, 72 long years since the end of World War II, it is time that governments open all their records through 1945.

Another possibility is that it only appeared in one or two publications, and since then somebody (or some corporation) has acquired the copyright and never re-published it.
The problem is, nobody can remember these publications where it originally appeared.
Not implausible. I wonder (not wanting to get to conspiracy theorist, here) but do certain Native American tribes consider Thunderbirds to be sacred? If so, is it impossible that somebody with Native American ties purchased and suppressed the photograph?
Yeah. That might be pushing it a bit far.
The magazine referred to upthread was Life magazine:
Just for the record, I have a clear memory of the Thunderbird photograph, although I saw it just under 50 years ago. There's a barn, the critter nailed to it and some 12 men or so lined up in front of it, one of the guys wearing an Abe Lincoln type top hat. I saw it in 1957 in "Life" magazine. We were living in a refugee camp at the time and the magazine was in the communal TV room, where magazines tended to lie around for several months, so it may have been in any issue from 1956/7. If by some bizarre chance anyone has access to the magazine from that period I'm sure its there. I sent this info to Mark Chorvinsky a couple of years ago, but sadly, heard he'd died recently.
Did anybody ever look into this? The post was from 2006.

Tamarindo Beach – Costa Rica
Tamarindo Real Estate
Living in Costa Rica takes a spirit of adventure, a good sense of humor and lots of patience. Most people see themselves lounging all day in a hammock by the sea, plucking bananas off the trees and going for frequent dips in the crystal clear waters. While all that is very do-able, it is not what every day life will be like. Red tape is a big part of life in Costa Rica. A simple thing like renewing a drivers license can take all day, today usually means tomorrow and tomorrow may not be this week. If you think you can handle all this with a smile then Costa Rica may just be the place for you. After all, it boasts a 94% literacy rate, friendly people, exquisite nature, warm climate year round and is labeled the ‘Happiest Place on Earth‘.
Living in Tamarindo
Tamarindo Beach is one of Costa Rica’s most popular beaches for foreign residents. Its dry tropical climate, long beach and surrounding national park is a big draw. Tamarindo has been experiencing a growth spurt for the last few years and real estate is booming. A growing tourism industry provides plenty of business opportunities. Tamarindo is one of Costa Rica’s most multi cultural communities, and you will hear many different languages being spoken. Although you will find many conveniences in Tamarindo such as banks, pharmacies, supermarkets, etc. for serious medical issues or official business you will need to head to the capital, San Jose, about a 4 hour drive.
The cost of living in Tamarindo is cheaper than in North America and Europe but not by a wide margin. If you come to Tamarindo planning to live off a very small budget this may not be the right town for you. Tamarindo is part of the Gold Coast, a top tourist destination and therefore not cheap. However Costa Rica income taxes and property taxes are low.
Planning your move to Tamarindo
Before you sell everything you own and move your whole family down, plan at least one extended visit. It might be that you cannot stand the red tape, or maybe you love Costa Rica but find it too warm in Tamarindo. Living here is not for everyone; the laid back life that seemed so appealing in your home country might just seem too excruciatingly slow once you are here. Talk to other Expats and find out how they like living in Tamarindo. Research your options for schooling, obtaining Costa Rica residency and work permits. Be well educated and confident in your decision, only then will you be able to enjoy the ‘Pura Vida’ life.
Tamarindo Real Estate
Always make sure that your real estate has title, has been surveyed and is accessible year-round. Choose a reputable real estate agent and a lawyer who can research on your behalf. Stewart Title Costa Rica can help with the legalities of the property for sale. Find out the cost of purchasing real estate in Costa Rica to avoid surprises.
On most Guanacaste beaches, including parts of Tamarindo, land within 150 meters of the high tide line is concession only, meaning you do not own the land. Once you’ve purchased property, don’t cut down trees. The cutting of some trees is illegal and you could be eliminating a path for monkeys.
Perfect weather, warm ocean, quiet beaches, friendly people, relaxed lifestyle, what’s not to love about living in Tamarindo.

Édouard Manet would have never become a renowned artist if he hadn’t displayed his scandalous “Olympia” at the Paris Salon; Van Gogh’s works were noticed posthumously only after they got into “the right hands” and were exposed at the exhibitions in Paris and Brussels.
Get noticed or vanish trying
Whether you work for a creative agency or you’re a member of a creative community, the above-mentioned fact should give you some food for thought. The internet jungles offer a handful of tools and platforms to gain a decent online exposure, spread the word about your company and connect with potential clients if need be.
A glance at Behance
One of the most favored platforms among creative agencies is Behance. It is an ultimate online network allowing communities of people working in the creative industry to effectively communicate their style and projects to their potential customers. Spread the word on Behance, and you take networking to a whole new level.
Amongst the many creatives, there are also agencies showcasing their works on Behance. Together they create a valuable source of inspiration for those who are continually searching for new ways to stay ahead of the trends.
We’ll take you on a quest for new ideas and emerging trends by looking at the top 10 creative agencies on Behance. Their projects feature top-notch brand identity portfolios, marketing solutiones, and even sales challenges.
Top 10 creative agencies on Behance:
The first creative agency that comes into our radar is Branding Masters — a UAE-based agency with over 9 million views. It features the works of 69 creative individuals – designers, and photographers from all over the globe. They keep the main focus on visual communication, packaging, and logo designs.
Let’s take a look at one of their works, OLI — Branding & Package Design. The Moscow-based designer created a fairly basic and minimalistic brand identity for skin care cosmetics which effectively conveys the main concept of the brand: nature-inspired, and elegant design which comes in different pastel colors.
Another work featured by Branding masters is by Ryan Miglinczy for Roxy Cinemas.
Based on the extensive market research, they come up with a new visual brand strategy to incorporate the idea of cinema-going into a cultural context and add more social value to the process that clients normally view as a type of leisure time.
A UK-based a community of creative talents working together on various graphic design, illustration and branding projects.
They created interactive and eye-catching web design and creative assets that feature unique typography for Terra Australis Incognita project which aims at preserving the Antarctic continent for continuous scientific research ensured by the Antarctic Treaty. The letterforms, width, heights actively change as you apply the variables for temperature across Antarctica, the season of the year and the wind speed.
Design Served also created a bold brand identity for Geek palace products. They crafted a persuasive communication message with sci-fi inspired icons which cohesively fit the main concept of the products. Light blue and white dropout gives a soothing effect and helps focus on the main element of the band identity — geek imagery.
This agency is located in San Francisco. It focuses mainly on web and mobile product design and is partnered with lots of media, web, and e-commerce heavyweights such as Netflix, Salesforce, Adobe, Opera. etc.
The showcase of Shopin — blockchain, and AI-driven startup company — reflects how establishing a clear brand identity could contribute to raising capital for emerging businesses. This approach eventually helped raise more funds than were initially planned.
Ramotion played around the business name and came up with the idea of creating a dynamic logo based on the initial letter “S” which represents user on one hand and retailer on the other. The web design color palette is dominated by light blue and white color.
According to Joe’s Hallock color studies, blue paired with white conveys trust and security. They applied this principle into a visual identity for a cryptocurrency product brand MithrilX. The name and the choice of color were inspired by the rare fictional metal from the Tolkien’s world which highlights its uniqueness and nobility.
One Design is a British creative agency specializing in branding and print design.
One of their works is HoloForge Interactive, a AR-powered service that helps B2B clients to showcase their products through AR technologies. For HoloForge, One Design crafted a catchy logo that represents “H” and “F” letters overlapping and creating a masterful 3D optical illusion. Enhanced by the contrasting orange and red, this logo design eventually communicates the idea of the augmented reality.
At first glance, another one of their projects, a minimalist Blowhammer logo seems to be designed for conveying simplicity and sophistication. However, as we observe the animation, the logo reminds one of a famous Fuck W*r protest poster and the whole concept is intertwining with rebellion. This perfectly communicates the main idea of the Italian fashion brand for freedom lovers.
Another creative agency located in Poland is definitley worth keeping an eye on.
Here is one of their works. The goal was to precisely communicate the idea of a human-scale woodworking uniqueness. The cover of the catalog is crowned with a masterfully crafted chair placed over muted background colors, which creates an impression of a museum exhibit. To some extent, this adds uniqueness to the wood crafting products by Mimosa.
For Cadencia House assets design, they played with a mix of сolors located on opposite sides of the color wheel— coral dark and violet — creating a lively contrast. Mixed with zebra print shadows, it produces the ultimate 3D effect.
Located in Minsk, Belarus, the agency claims to have gatheredthe talents from all over Belarus under one roof.
For a German coffee brand Gutt, designers reflected the evolution of the product through packaging design modification. The use of sophisticated Klimt-inspired colors created elegant aesthetics, placed in line with the values of the updated price and product segmentation.
The main goal for the confectionary products brand Millenium was finding the right tools to reach a new hedonism-seeking audience. The focus of the modern audience keeps shifting towards stripping the lifestyle from excessive consumerism. The choice of minimalist design and the use of vibrant colorsecreated a mouthwatering effect which is ideal for targeting their specific demographic segment.
Marka Network creative agency is located in Istanbul. It introduces a team of professionals that provide brand building, and brand developing strategies.
Keeping up with the modern trends of logo crafting, Marka Network created an easily identifiable and simple logotype for Planty dairy products. They stripped the design of visual noise using soothing colors that effectively convey the message of the organic product.
The combination of brown and vibrant orange worked like magic for Chokkie chocolate brand. The color palette used for the project together with a playful pattern beautifully captures the origins of the brand.
The creative agency displays masterful logo designs by artists from all over the world. Many have gathered thousands and thousands of viewson Behance.
When it comes to creating a unique brand identity for academic intellectuals, it is important to stick to the established approaches which should eventually generate the feeling of trust and respect. A designer applied royal blue and rose gold and paired it with heraldic-based logo design and flawlessly met the challenge for Alyssa Baxter brand identity.
The logo elements of Mazzini pub, another client of Logo Design International Team, re-trace its location on the map. A designer succeeded in putting some storytelling behind the brand identity and endowed it with a special local charm. The tile-like logo is repeated in a way that creates a sophisticated geometric design that can easily be repurposed or scaled for any purpose
Located in Brazil, this agency provides branding, art direction, and graphic design services for a wide variety of clients and businesses.
For Lumière, they created vivid design assets dominated by black color and a vintage floral pattern. Together with the elegant hand-lettering, it harmoniously fits the name of the coffee brand and speaks directly to the audience that views drinking coffee as a sacred ritual.
Creating the brand identity for Bazzi, Behance Brazil agency approached the design challenges very intuitively. They used a blue backdrop to convey the trustworthiness of the company along with the dynamic geometric shape that reaches emerging demographic segment passionate about technology.
When opening up their portfolio, the first highlight that strikes the most is the number of project views (over 36 million) featuring the works of 28 designers living in different countries. The community provides global-scale branding services.
One of their customers is Doggoh (menswear fashion). The color scheme and the design assets used by the team don’t create a distracting effect. The design focuses on the basics: the quality and authenticity of the Spain-born clothing brand.
Creating the brand identity for Seishe, The BRANDEST agency managed to follow the most recent trends in design. Living Coral is largely popular across different social media platforms and, at the same time, can be easily found in nature which clearly correlates a concept of organic cosmetics. Behind the anatomy of the typography-based Seishe’s logo stands a fairly practical approach. Similarly to newly introduced Sans Forgetica font, the intermittent gaps in the letters enhance the memory retention — the logo is easy to remember.

The reference for this painting was graciously provided by Lee Brown of "A Day Not Wasted" for the April Painting Challenge. I started on this painting last week with the challenge ending today, and then to add to my "own" challenge I used a (much) larger canvas than I normally paint on...I can't say this is finished because there are a lot of areas that need to be addressed but I did want to get it submitted on time for the April Challenge.... I will post the finished piece after I put the last touches on it. :O)

Despite a game Alicia Vikander, the reboot of “Tomb Raider” feels dusty and derivative.
The rebooting of “Tomb Raider” should have yielded something better than this decent, but uninspired attempt. It had brilliant source material to adapt from with the successful 2013 relaunch of the Lara Croft video game, and Oscar-winner Alicia Vikander gives the part her all as a gritty and intense lead. Unfortunately, the script is tonally all over the map and derives too heavily from films like “Raiders of the Lost Ark” and “The Mummy.” And while its action sequences are well-shot and edited with precision, this movie has an underwritten villain, too many flashbacks, and an underwhelming tomb excavation. If there is to be a sequel, the filmmakers will need to dig deeper to ensure something great.

How Bitcoin Will Revolutionize The Travel Industry
Posted By : Anirudh Bhardwaj | 14-Dec-2017
Bitcoin has come a long way ahead. It is not only attracting the masses from all over the world to invest but is also opening doors for various financial applications. Bitcoin is emerging as an effective payment option for a number of applications and platforms. Today, a large number of retailers and merchants are accepting bitcoin just like any other currency. But at some point in time, it seemed impossible that this cryptocurrency would thrive and flourish to such an extent. Needless to say, bitcoin has turned out to be a huge success and it has paved new ways for the modern day finance.
As exciting as it sounds, many travel agencies have come up to embrace the bitcoin as well. There are dozens of travel agencies that are offering BTC payment options to their customers for flight, train and hotel bookings. Some of these companies and travel agencies are listed below.

The travel bookings giant, Expedia has opened up to the cryptocurrency sphere. It is by far, the biggest travel agency which has been accepting bitcoins for hotel bookings for quite some time now. The company ventured into this new domain in 2014 and since then it has been accepting BTC payments as well.
CheapAir is perhaps the first online travel agency which started accepting bitcoins in November 2013. The company initially offered bitcoin payment option for flight bookings only. But owing to a tremendous response, it adopted the bitcoin payment scheme for hotel bookings as well in early 2014. Believe it or not, CheapAir has done bitcoin sales worth more than 10 Million USD so far.
A private jet charter website called, Private Fly became the first private jet booking company to accept bitcoin as a payment option. The potential travelers can reserve a private jet at any time of the day directly through Private Fly’s online portal while paying for the same using bitcoins. The bitcoin payment scheme can prove to be very effective for private jet bookings because they these bookings are very expensive and it might take several swipes of a credit card to pay for the jet. But with bitcoins, the payment can be made instantly.
The Airline Companies That Accept Bitcoin
A Polish Airline company, LOT started accepting bitcoin payments in August last year. The payment options include American Express, Mastercard, PayPal and Visa apart from BTC. One can easily purchase flight tickets for more than 60 global destinations through LOT’s online portal. However, it doesn’t accept BTC payments directly but via some unnamed payment platform. Nevertheless, LOT is not the only airline giant that started accepting bitcoins. Many other airline companies have ventured into this realm. For instance, two other European Airline giants viz. Air Baltic and Air Lituancia have also been accepting bitcoin payments for more than two years now.

With the three-breasted woman's making her way back to the big screen in the 'Total Recall' reboot, we decided to pay homage to other films that got really creative with their gratuitous nudity in her honor honor honor.
Forget Demi and Ashton. These celebrity spouses have some major age differences.


Emily Kaplan did it again. The ESPN reporter has put together a list of things that Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid isn't great at. I mean, it's hard to believe that the young 20-year-old isn't good at everything: you've seen him dangle the puck, score unbelievable goals and be an all around stand up player.
However, in Kaplan's article, she had teammates and close friends of McDavid revealed his biggest fear and what he just can't seem to do right. Bob Catalde, McDavid's billet dad for three years while he played in Erie revealed that the star forward is very afraid of spiders. He even wonders why his teammates have not pranked him yet... Maybe now they will.
Teammate Daniel Nurse mentions that McDavid does not parallel park very well, that he probably cannot cook and that surprisingly enough, he is not good at video games - including hockey ones!
It is also revealed that McDavid is not a morning person and that he is not good at any other sports. Hilarious!

5-Minute Vegan Sunshine Sauce – this stuff is liquid gold! ☀ made with olive oil, vinegar, spices, garlic, and a hint of salt. SO yummy!
- 3/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 tablespoons white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 clove garlic

- Blitz everything up in a blender or food processor until smooth and creamy. ☀
- Serve on everything! Roasted vegetables, salads, meal prep… it is so versatile and SO yummy.
Pantry upgrade: I wanted this recipe to be very pantry friendly which is why I didn’t add fresh herbs and lemon to the base recipe (I don’t always have them on hand). BUT. If you do have fresh lemon, add it! It’s delicious. And definitely add fresh herbs if you have them! I like to throw a handful of parsley or basil in for Italian recipes, and cilantro for Mexican recipes.
Storing and Re-Using: This keeps in a jar in the fridge for about one week. If it separates, just shake it up again. If the oil turns solid in the fridge, just let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes OR run the jar under warm water and shake again. If it’s too thick or gloppy, add a little more water.

Brain cells that influence aging
At a Glance
- Researchers discovered stem cells in the brain that influence how quickly mice age.
- The findings suggest new strategies to explore for preventing age-related diseases and lengthening lifespan.
The brain controls many aspects of thinking—remembering, planning and organizing, making decisions, and much more. These cognitive abilities can decline with age. Exactly what controls aging in the brain, however, is not clear.
You naturally lose brain cells with age. Certain regions of the brain have cells called neural stem cells that can regenerate. These stem cells serve as a sort of internal repair system, dividing to replenish other cells. They have only been found in a few brain regions, including the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus is critical for regulating the endocrine system—the glands and hormones throughout the body. The region is known to play a role in development, reproduction, and metabolism. It has also recently been implicated in aging.
To investigate whether stem cells in the hypothalamus influence the aging process, a team of scientists led by Dr. Dongsheng Cai at Albert Einstein College of Medicine examined these cells in mice. The study was funded by NIH’s National Institute on Aging (NIA), National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), and National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI). Results were published in the August 3, 2017, issue of Nature.
The researchers first observed what happens to stem cells in the hypothalamus as healthy mice age. They found that the number of stem cells gradually diminished in early to middle-aged mice and were almost completely absent in older mice. They then experimentally disrupted these stem cells in middle-aged mice and examined the effects on aging over 3–4 months. Mice with the disrupted stem cells showed signs of cognitive impairment and other signs of aging earlier than control mice. Mice with the disrupted stem cells also had a shortened lifespan.
The researchers were able to slow these signs of aging by implanting hypothalamic stem cells harvested from newborn mice into the brains of middle-aged mice. The mice also lived longer than control mice. These anti-aging effects could be replicated by injecting the tiny fluid-filled sacs, called exosomes, that are secreted by hypothalamic neural stem cells. Exosomes circulate in blood and carry genetic material called miRNA, which regulates genes in tissues throughout the body.
These results suggest that it’s the endocrine function of the hypothalamic stem cells that essentially controls the aging process. It remains to be seen what role the cells’ regenerative properties play in the long-term control of aging.
“Our research shows that the number of hypothalamic neural stem cells naturally declines over the life of the animal, and this decline accelerates aging,” Cai says. “But we also found that the effects of this loss are not irreversible. By replenishing these stem cells or the molecules they produce, it’s possible to slow and even reverse various aspects of aging throughout the body.”

- As businesses reopen during the COVID-19 pandemic, they must find new ways to operate that will keep their employees safe.
- In response, the CDC has issued guidance for best practices when using transportation.
- They say solo commuting is the safest way to travel right now.
- They also offer advice for staying safe when you must use public transportation.
As businesses begin to reopen during the COVID-19 pandemic, they’re faced with the challenge of finding new ways to operate to keep their employees safe.
To assist businesses with this process, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recently released a set of
These guidelines include recommendations for how employees can best stay safe while commuting to and from their jobs.
In particular, the CDC recommends traveling either alone or with someone you live with whenever possible.
Solo commuting is the safest option
The CDC’s latest guidance suggests that avoiding public transportation is your best bet when it comes to preventing the transmission of SARS-CoV-2.
Their guidance uses biking, walking, and driving your own personal vehicle as examples of suggested ways to commute.
In order to get more people to avoid public transportation, the CDC suggests that employers should offer their workers incentives.
According to Brian Labus, PhD, MPH, an assistant professor in the School of Public Health at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, subways, buses, and carpools are places where people remain in close contact for an extended period of time.
“If you don’t live with those people,” said Labus, “it obviously increases the risk of exposure to coronavirus. By commuting individually or only sharing a car with people you live with, you minimize your exposure to others and reduce your risk of disease.”
Controversy surrounding the recommendations
The CDC’s recommendation to travel alone has been somewhat controversial.
It has raised concerns about how it will affect the environment.
Some experts fear that this change in policy will promote heavy traffic congestion. It could also reverse gains that have been made in reducing carbon emissions.
Some groups have also expressed concerns that lower-income individuals and people of color might be at a disadvantage when it comes to following this guidance.
In response to the criticism, the CDC did soften the original language somewhat, adding the words “if feasible” to the relevant passage.
“Unfortunately,” said Henry F. Raymond, DrPH, MPH, associate professor at Rutgers School of Public Health, “we can’t have it both ways. That is, we can’t minimize the potential for spread by encouraging mass transit.”
Regarding lower-income workers, Raymond noted that encouraging those who can afford to travel alone to do so will ultimately help those workers who are still forced to use public transportation.
Having fewer people using mass transit will give them a better chance of maintaining physical distance, he explained.
What steps should you take to make your commute as safe as possible?
No matter how you get to work, the CDC says there are certain
- Wash your hands for at least 20 seconds with soap and water, or use hand sanitizer with at least 60 percent alcohol before and after your trip.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth with your hands.
- Cover your coughs and sneezes, throw used tissues in the trash, and wash your hands or use hand sanitizer after you cough or sneeze.
- Maintain at least 6 feet between yourself and other people who don’t live in your household.
- Wear a cloth face covering when you aren’t able to maintain physical distance between yourself and others. Wearing a mask on public transportation signals to others that you’re trying to keep the community safe in addition to yourself.
- Stay home when you’re sick or have been near someone who has COVID-19.
- Limit your travel if you’re older or have a disability or underlying health condition that puts you at greater risk.
- If you are at greater risk, bring a “transportation buddy” with you to help with any special needs that you have, such as carrying bags.
What if you must take public transportation?
While traveling alone might be the best option in an ideal world, the CDC has altered their recommendations to reflect the fact that not everyone will be able to do so.
If you are using public transportation or ride sharing in order to get to your job, they recommend following the above general guidelines as well as certain specific guidelines related to your particular mode of transportation.
- When using public transit, stay up-to-date on any changes to services and procedures. This is especially important if you require any special assistance.
- Avoid touching things. Make use of touchless payment methods and no-touch trash cans and doors whenever possible. Wash your hands or use hand sanitizer as soon as possible after touching any frequently touched surfaces.
- Practice physical distancing. Travel during non-peak hours, if possible. Put at least 6 feet between yourself and other people. Follow any physical distancing markers like floor decals or signs that have been designated by your local transit authority.
- Practice good hand hygiene. Wash your hands and use hand sanitizer as needed.
- Improve ventilation. If you’re in your own vehicle or a passenger in a ride share or taxi, try to improve the ventilation by opening windows or setting the air ventilation or air conditioning on non-recirculation mode.
- Clean and disinfect surfaces. Use disinfecting wipes to clean any frequently touched surfaces prior to use.
The bottom line
The CDC has recommended that the best way to avoid transmitting the virus that causes COVID-19 during your work commute is to travel alone.
While this is the best practice under ideal circumstances, it may not be possible for everyone.
To assist all workers, the CDC has offered recommendations to follow when using any form of transportation — whether that’s a privately owned vehicle or some form of public transit.

It might seem impossible to implement more green, eco-friendly practices in an apartment or dorm near the University of South Florida. Sometimes you live in a dorm with other people or have a 3-bedroom apartment with other roommates sharing that space with you. Either way, a smaller space with less room, might seem like an unreasonable place to compost, but actually, this isn't true. Composting requires very little space and can be done successfully if the right steps are taken to make it happen.
The first step to composting in apartments near USF is to commit. If you take on the responsibility of composting to better the environment and give back to yourself, everything else is less of a commitment because composting essentially does itself.
Composting in a Good Location in Your USF Apartment
If you live in an apartment with other roommates and want to stick your compost container in a common area, you should make sure to check in with them first before putting it wherever you want. Chances are, if you talk to them about your decision to compost in your USF apartment ahead of time, they might want to help you compost and contribute compost scraps of their own!
Another thing to consider while composting inside is to make sure that you and your roommates don't have pets or other animals that can get into the compost bin. This is especially important for anyone living in a pet-friendly apartment near USF. If you do have cats or dogs, make sure that the compost bin is in a somewhat hidden or concealed location, or try to get a compost bin with a lid attached to it.
If you want to compost outside, getting an apartment with a patio or balcony can be the perfect choice for your composting needs.
Try Vermicomposting in Apartments Near USF
Vermicomposting is the use of small worms that eat up your compost materials and create fertilized compost soil, perfect for plant owners who want to grow flowers and produce. Composting is a great way to naturally obtain fertilizer that's non-toxic, all-natural, and contains nutrients that will feed your plants over time.
It might seem complicated to find composting worms, but there are plenty of farms that have worms you can purchase for composting. Near your USF apartment, multiple worm farms specifically seek out worms for composting, making it less of a challenge for you to go and find them on your own.
Compost the Appropriate Materials in USF Apartments
You can't just stick anything in your compost bin. Some acceptable materials to compost include food scraps (eggshells, bread, fruit, herbs, lettuce, banana peels, coffee grounds), paper materials (printer paper, newspaper, cardboard, magazines), and yard items (grass clippings, leaves, wood shavings). As long as you don't stray away from this list of materials, your compost will be healthy and thriving like it should.

Alzheimer's declared greatest threat to U.S. health
Most Americans likely to die from poor lifestyle choices, doctors say
After analyzing thousands of sources of data, researchers at the University of Washington in Seattle have declared that Alzheimer's disease - the insidious condition that robs the elderly of their memory and motor skills, is the biggest threat to health in the United States. They note, however, that the majority of Americans will most likely die from poor lifestyle choices, such as smoking, alcohol consumption and obesity.
The Alzheimer's Association has long been warning that the U.S. will have to cope with a tidal wave of Alzheimer's disease as the population ages.
The Seattle researchers looked at thousands of sources of data, comparing various causes of death and diseases across 187 countries.
The Alzheimer's Association has long been warning that the U.S. will have to cope with a tidal wave of Alzheimer's disease as the population ages. A report last month projected that the number of patients with this untreatable form of dementia will triple in the next 40 years, to 13.8 million in 2050.
Alzheimer's is already up 392 percent as a cause of premature death, as measured by years of life lost, according to the University of Washington team. As an overall cause of death, which is how many people die of Alzheimer's instead of something else - Alzheimer's is up by more than 500 percent.
"Overall, the three risk factors that account for the most disease burden in the United States are dietary risks, tobacco smoking, and high body-mass index," reads the report, called the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors 2010.
Heart disease, lung and throat cancer and stroke cost Americans the most years of life in 2010, the study, led by the university's Christopher Murray, found. The single biggest risk factor in the U.S. is diet.
The good news? "Of the 25 most important causes of burden, as measured by disability-adjusted life years, interpersonal violence showed the largest decrease, falling by 26 percent from 1990 to 2010," the report finds
AIDS infections also have appeared to have peaked globally and people are living longer and healthier lives.
"While HIV/AIDS has exacted a devastating toll on many countries in sub-Saharan Africa, increasing by 328 percent in terms of healthy years lost from 1990 to 2010, the epidemic appears to have peaked in 2004," the report says.
"This success is largely attributable to the massive scale-up in antiretroviral therapy over the past decade," the report reads.
Residents of Britain and Canada both also suffer most from overeating and smoking. In Britain, the single biggest health risk to children is second-hand smoke.
