I’m back in Hawaii now. That 6’2″ Piranha board is killer…rides just like one of my Glen Minami’s. I surfed Kamala right after we talked…it was crankin’ Then I caught Kalimin the evening with three Thai local guys out. It was putting out solid 4 to 6 foot down the line rights. (2 to 3 Hawaiian) I was pumped…even got a little backside barrel on my last wave.Anyway, it was great meeting you. Your boards are the finest…I’ll be back. =)Aloha,
“Undoubtedly the island’s best surf shop”
“Saltwater Dreaming is the best surf shop on the island by far”
I called from Karon Beach to order some GoPro accessories (21 km away). An English speaking man arranged a cab to deliver the items that day. He saved my vacation. The prices were comparable to USA prices.

Date of Award
Doctor of Philosophy
Dr. Kevin J. James
This thesis is focused on the potent cyanobacterial neurotoxins anatoxin-a (AN), its methyl analogue homoanatoxin-a (HMAN) and their non-toxic dihydro- and epoxydegradation products. In commencing the investigation into this area a literature review was performed in order to identify areas where more research and method development was required (Chapter 1). The review highlighted the fact that although a number of analytical methods had been developed for the analysis of AN, there were few methods for the determination of its potent homologue HMAN and their non-toxic degradation products. As these neurotoxins degrade quickly it is important to monitor their degradation products, particularly if there has been a suspected toxic incident.
The first experimental study combined the information from a nano electrospray hybrid quadrupole time-of-flight (QqTOF) mass spectrometer and a quadrupole ion-trap (QIT) mass spectrometer in order to elucidate the fragmentation patterns of the six anatoxins and to confirm formulae assignments for major product ions (Chapter 2). Using these complimentary instruments, comparisons between the spectra of compounds that differ in side-chain length (the AN and HMAN series) were used to identify ions that are characteristic of the homologues. From this information, a new liquid chromatography- multiple tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS") method was developed for the determination of the six anatoxins and applied to environmental and forensic samples.
One of the main problems encountered in the method development of anatoxins has been the lack of availability of standards. AN may be purchased but is expensive and certified reference material is not available, HMAN has to be isolated and the degradation products need to be synthesised from the parent compound. Preliminary studies were undertaken to develop a simple route to synthesise (+/-)-AN, that in turn could be adapted to synthesise HMAN and other analogues as well as an internal standard. It is also envisaged that this synthetic route may also be modified to obtain (-i-)-AN in large enough quantities to allow future research into toxicological activity. While still in the early stages the proposed route offers promise in terms of both cost and yield.
During these research studies, the misidentification of AN in a sample from a young man that died mysteriously after being in contact with cyanobacteria highlighted a new problem with the analysis of AN. In addition to difficulties in detecting this toxin due to its rapid decay, detection of AN using single quadrupole mass spectrometry is questionable due to the presence of the amino acid, phenylalanine (Phe). These compounds are isobaric and elute similarly in reversed phase liquid chromatography. Another incident in France was also reported where the presence of Phe prevented the quantitation of AN in a forensic sample taken from a dead dog. Consequently, chapter 3 looked at approaches to prevent the misidentification of AN including, (a) fluorimetric liquid chromatography (LC-FLD) following derivatisation using 4-fluoro-7-nitro-2,l,3- benzoxadiazole (NBD-F); (b) methylation using diazomethane prior to liquid chromatography single stage MS (LC-MS) determination; (c) LC-MS" using a QIT and (d) high resolution MS using a QqTOF. Interference from Phe was not observed in any of procedures, (a) - (c), and the high mass accuracy obtained in method (d), readily distinguished between the two compounds.
MS" was also employed to study the fragmentation pathway of Phe provide characteristic fragmentation information that clearly distinguished between AN and Phe. The difficulties associated with the over reliance on low resolution MS data in forensic toxicology were highlighted and this led to the development of a sensitive liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method on a triple quadrupole (QqQ) mass spectrometer, operating in multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode. Using the optimised conditions and the structural information obtained from LC-MS", chromatographic separation was achieved and precursor/product ion pairs were chosen to prevent misidentification of AN and Phe. During this time samples from another canine fatality were obtained and AN was identified upon analysis of the stomach contents. Phe was also present in this sample but by optimising the parameters it did not interfere with quantitation.

SOILS OF PAKISTAN
The soils in Pakistan are affected by arid climate,therefore belong to dry group,rich in basic having a high calcium carbonate content and poor in nitrogenous matter.They vary in colour from reddish brown in north to red or gray in south.The soils at the foot of mountains are sandy but becomes finer towards plains where lime concentration is occasionally found.These are derived from two types of parent material:
1) Alluvium,loess and wind blown sand.They are of mixed mineralogy.The newly deposited alluvium near the river is called khaddar and mostly consists of sand.The old alluvium of the bar uplands,called bangar consists of loams .The soils of the Thal and Thar deserts and Baluchistan are wind blown.In southern potwar a thin layer of residual slit is found . In parts of canal irrigation lands,salt afforescences are found,generally in the areas of high water table.These saline areas are known as thur or kallar.
2) Residual material obtained from weathering of underlying rocks.Most of the rocks are calcareous.In some areas granites have produced non –calcareous soil material.very small quantities of salts are released from most of the rocks. The soils are therefore,essencially non-saline.
The soils of Pakistan has acquired distinct characteristics from the parent material and by their mode of formation.The river-laid sediments have developed into alluvial soils.The desert sand have turned into distinct soils.The hills ,mountains and the plateaus produced residual soils with patches of alluvial ,loess and other soils.The soils of Pakistan can be classified into the following six soil types:
1. Black soils The principal region of black soils is the Deccan plateau and its periphery extending from 8°45’to 26o north latitude and 68o to 83o45′ east longitude. They are formed from Deccan basalt trap rocks and occur in areas under the monsoon climate, mostly of semi-arid and sub-humid types. The overall climate of black soil region may be described as hot and dry summer, 40-100 ...
1) Alluvial Soils of the Flood Plains:
The flood conditions differ from one region to another within the flood plains of Pakistan.This is because areas close to rivers are flooded each year,areas away from rivers are inundated in years of sever floods,while coastal areas are subjected to tidal flooding.This has affected the soil texture, soil water, soil pH, and other soil characteristics and led to development of different types of soils such as:
a: Loamy and Sandy Soils:
The soils develop in active flood areas and occupy the narrow strips along Indus river and its tributaries, the Jhelum,
The Chenab , the Ravi and Satluj.These soils are characterized by presence of sand and loam ,however the loam dominates the area.
b: Loamy and Clayey Soils:
These soils are found in old flood plains that lie between the active flood plains and the Bar uplands in the northern Indus plains and between the active flood plains and the desert region in the southern Indus plains. These soils are considerably stable and homogenized with saline and alkaline patches found here and there.Loam is the predominant soil and pH ranges from 8.0 to 9.0.
c:Loamy Saline Estuarine Soils:
These soils occupy a major part of Indus delta from levees to the back slopes of the Indus and its distributaries.These soils are low in organic matter,saline in most parts and their pH ranges from 8.0 to 8.5.
2) Alluvial Soils of the Bar Uplands:
These soils are located well above the flood plains in Kiran Bar, the Sandal Bar and Nili Bar areas. These soils are rich in lime , their texture is silt loamy and clay loamy , are quite fertile ,and extensively cultured with the help of irrigation.
3) Soils of the Piedmont Plains:
Mount St. Helens, How It Was Formed, Plains, Pleat us, And Three Different Types Of Mountains Mount St. Helens stands on eroded remains of an earlier volcano active between 2, 500 and 40, 000 years ago. The upper part of the cone was built around 400 years ago. Mount St. Helens is composed of lava flows and fragmented material consisting of debris. A cross-section would show alternating layers of ...
Most of Pakistan soil has developed on the extensive deposits of the Indus River and its tributaries. The soil belt covers most of the plain areas of Punjab and Sindh.Aluvial soils also develop in areas of Balochistan and Pishin Basins and Makran coastal plains.Poorly developed soils also occur in desert areas of Thar , Cholistan ,Thal and Kharan.
But a large part of the soils in northern, northeastern and western mountainous regions either overlie calcareous or argillaceous rocks. However in these areas soils also form on igneous rocks of acidic to intermediate composition.
The soils of Pakistan are derived from two types of parent materials:
1)Alluvium , loess and wind –reworked sands. They are of mixed mineralogy. The formation of soil profile is a complex process which involves weathering, leaching, precipitation and blending together of minerals and organic matter. The blending together of the minerals and other organic matter in soils by the action of micro organisms involves a long period of time .Homogenization, which is a common process of soil formation in Indus Plains, requires about 20 years for the upper one foot of the soils and about 100 years for the next lower foot.
2)Residual material accumulated due to weathering of the underlying rocks .Most of these soils overlie and derive from rocks that are characteristic of each of the Himalayan subdivisions described above .If we consider the mountainous belt of Pakistan as a whole , calcareous , argillaceous and arenaceous rocks are predominant protoloiths. In the igneous group of rocks granitoid , tonalities , dionities and their equivalents predominate .Basic and ultra basics rocks are clearly minor. Metamorphic rocks are exposed aver a small areal extent mainly in the north and are composed of pelite –psammites , marbles and calcpelites. The characteristics of the soils developed over these rocks depend to varying degrees on the protolith.Very small quantities of salts are released from most rocks and soils are therefore nonsaline.Saline playa lakes , which are small in areal extent , are exceptions . Soil formation is a complex phenomenon and therefore takes considerable time. The conversion of the bedrock into regolith is a time consuming process.
CLASSIFICATION OF SOILS
The soils of Pakistan have acquired distinct characteristics from the parent material and by their mode of formation .The river- laid sediments have developed into alluvial soils. The topographic differences within the region covered with alluvial soils have produced textural, chemical and other differences. Therefore it is possible to subdivide the alluvial soils. The desert sands have turned into distinct soils. The hills , mountains and plateaus have produced residual soils with patches of alluvial , loess and others soils , accordingly the soils of Pakistan can be classified as given in Fig and are discussed below.
COTTON The crop that I chose is cotton. Cotton did not originate in North Carolina. Columbus discovered Cotton in 1492, growing in the Bahama Islands. Today cotton is used wisely, the many uses are; manufacturing textiles, producing cooking oil, and animal feed. Over the past few years, cotton has become useful in other ways besides making clothes. With the new technology cotton -seed can produce ...
1) Alluvial Soils of the Flood Plains.
Within the flood plains of Pakistan, flood conditions differ from one region to another. Areas close to river are flooded every year .Areas at some distance from the rivers are inundated in years of severe floods, while the coastal areas are subjected to tidal flooding. This has affected the soil texture, the soil water, the soil pH and other soil characteristics. Accordingly different areas have developed the following different types of soil.
a) Loamy and Sandy Soils.
The active flood plains are covered with loamy and some sandy soils. They occupy narrow strips along the Indus River and its tributes , the Jhelum , the Chenab , the Ravi and Sutlej.They are most extensive along the Indus River ,where they are (15 to 25 m) 25 to 40 km wide. Braided channels of the streams are covered with these soils. They are flooded and are free from salinity. These are renewed with fresh deposits of alluvium; whenever the area is flooded .Loams dominates the area.
b) Loamy and Clayey Soils.
The old plains are covered with loamy and clayey soils. These flood plains lie between the active flood plains (bet) and the Bar Uplands in the northern Indus Plains and between the active flood plains and the desert region in the southern Indus Plains. The old flood plains were subjected to flood in the recent past. At present they remain free from flood in most of the years. Only in years of heavy rainfall they are locally flooded. Therefore the soils have experienced considerable stability and are appreciable homogenized. Saline and alkaline patches are observed here and there locally flooded. Therefore the soils have experienced considerable stability and are appreciably homogenized. Saline and alkaline patches are observed here and there, particularly close to the desert area. In such patches the pH values range from 8.0 to 8.4 and in exception cases upto 9.0 Loam is the predominant soil with patches of clayey soils on the back slopes and in the meander scars and the channel infill .The levees and meander bars slopes are covered with sandy loams. The color ranges from brown in humid and well-drained areas to grayish brown in dry areas.
Countries irrigated by an adequate river system are in many ways blessed. These rivers not only help agriculture, but they provide a cheap and efficient transport system for the development of internal trade. The saying goes—land divides, seas unite. But waterways bring also a good deal of misery to the people by causing devastating seasonal floods In India, for example, the sub-Himalayan regions ...
c) Mainly Loamy Saline Estuarine Soils.
A major part of the Indus Delta excluding the tidal plains is covered with loamy saline soils. The meander bars are covered with sandy loams and channel in fills with clayey soils .In general the soils are porous .They are low in organic content .However the back swamp deposits are richer in organic matter .Homogenization has not progressed much .In most parts , the soils are saline .The pH values range from 9.0 to 8.5.
d) Soils of the Tidal Flats.
The tidal flats occupy the coastal areas along the Indus Delta. The soils are mainly clay derived from the sediments deposited by the Indus and reworked by the tides. In low-lying areas the tides visit twice a day whereas in slightly higher areas they come twice a month.The soils are stratified. The sea water has turned the soils highly saline. Sodium chloride is the main salt. There are some tidal lakes, which occasionally get filled with sea water .The sea with fine silicates sediment .This process may leave profile with high salt contents.
2) Alluvial Soils of the Uplands.
The Bar uplands (the Kirana Bar, the Sandal Bar and the Nili Bar) are Pleistocene interflutive alluvial terraces .They are well above the flood plains and have developed mature soils. They are classed as Noncalcic brown in the sub- humid areas where the soils have been leached almost free of lime. In the arid areas they are classed as Brown Soils or Sierozems. Considerable leaching of lime has taken place from Sierozems also but not as though as that from the Noncalcic Brown. In both the soils a layer rich in lime occurs at about three feet from the surface. Whereas such horizons with lime (Kankar) are encountered the SPT values register a substantial increase. Texturally the soils are silt loams and clay loams. The soils are quite fertile and are extensively cultivated with the help of irrigation. The areas therefore are densely populated and there is a lot of building activity.
Soil is a natural body consisting of layers (soil horizons) of mineral constituents of variable thicknesses, which differ from the parent materials in their morphological, physical, chemical, and mineralogical characteristics. Soil is composed of particles of broken rock that have been altered by chemical and environmental processes that include weathering and erosion. Soil differs from its ...
3) Soils of the Piedmont Plains.
The Piedmont Plains cover an extensive area between the Sulaiman-Kirthar Mountains and the Indus River. The relatively smaller areas occur in the northern part of the Punjab along the Pir Panjal Mountains. The foothills of these mountains are occupied by stony fans and aprons which are formed of loose material washed down front the mountains by occasion heavy rainfall. The streams beds are filled with gravel and coarse sands. Some fine material is arrested between the gravel and stones.Thses predominantly stony soils

The Italian-Belgian of Iron Lynx gave us his comments on the 6 Hours of Monza that saw his crew finish 2nd at the end of their home race, and thus take their first podium of the season.
«It is very nice to have reached the podium for the team because it is the home race. It was a bit unexpected because we were unlucky at the start and we were two laps behind. There were two safety cars that helped us get back into the race and then, thanks to our pace, we were able to climb back up to second place». With a crowd like the one at Monza, Alessio also enjoyed the post-race podium with the track invasion. «I am half Italian so it's like being a bit at home for me. I had fun on the podium and the fans were incredible. It was fun to give the crowd the cap and the bottle of champagne. To make a podium at Monza is always legendary».
Now only the last two races of the WEC season are missing, at Fuji and then in Bahrain the final chapter. The team from Cesena has good feelings ahead of the final stages: «Our goal after this podium is to win. We know it is difficult and the level of the championship is very high, but let's see how the car performs in Japan and Sakhir. Today's result helps mentally and gives us the charge to do another good result at the next race».
If Alessio had to give himself a grade for his season, what would it be? «In the WEC it was a difficult season, especially at Le Mans. We retired after only two hours of racing so at the moment the season cannot be satisfactory. Certainly thanks to this result now morale is higher. I don't want to put a number on my season, but now the important thing is that we all feel more motivated and what we did today shows that we can be on the podium. So we are ready to push again at Fuji».

This week, I want to blog about one of my favorite restaurants D’Avolio’s. The owner Danny is one of the most hospitable gentlemen, I know. His staff is well versed in answering any questions, that you might have about the house kitchen menu and the amazing oils and vinegar’s. I’m going to let you know some of my favorites today. But please, be the judge for yourself and visit Danny and his staff at D’Avolio’s. Not only were there an abundance of different options, but I enjoyed trying some of the flavors. Totally worth the experience. YUM!!!
Cranberry Pear White Balsamic vinegar goes well with a side salad. It has a little taste of sour tart but is also very fruity. Mixing the fruits give a new meaning and flavor to vinegar. I also like a juicy chicken breast and a side medley of vegetables with a splash of this vinegar on the side.
This Cinnamon Pear Balsamic make meals even more outstanding. I’ve added it to the side salad, along with a juicy steak and potatoes. The vinegar’s are such high quality. I highly recommend, if you love to cook, stop by D’Avolio’s and purchase them. Once again, the staff at all the locations are ready and willing to service all your needs.

The team behind the Bloodhound which is attempting to break the world land speed record of 1000 MPH have been testing out the cars comms in the desert.
The Bloodhound is still in development, so the team decided to use an L39 Jet and a Jaguar F-Type R Coupe to test out the communications system that will be used in the Bloodhound, have a look at the video below.
Beaming data at over 1,000mph (1600km/h) will push available communications technology to the limit. To meet the challenge, MTN and Poynting Antennas have created a bespoke 4G LTE (Long-Term Evolution) network for the Project, based on known and trusted mobile telephone technology. The 800MHz signal is highly focused, rather than broadcast, to ensure the network has ‘link budget’ capable of streaming 4 Megabytes per second of data live from the car as it covers a mile in 3.6 seconds (a kilometre in 2.25 seconds).
During the test, the signal was captured by BLOODHOUND engineers on the track. Later this year and 2016, it will travel to the team’s Mission Control Centre and then be relayed to the nearest town, Upington, 80 miles (130 kilometers) away, to be fed into the internet, ready to be viewed by schools, colleges and other audiences worldwide.
You can find out more details about how the Bloodhound is progressing over at their website at the link below.

DURHAM, N.C. –Connected health will be heavily influenced by the growing shift of acute care from hospital to home next year, says Drew Schiller.
“What we’ll be seeing, really, is the emergence of digital hospitals,” said Schiller, CEO of Validic, a provider of data connectivity solutions, in a recent webinar focusing on the state of connected health.
The shift is being driven by five trends, Schiller said: successful remote monitoring programs for managing chronic diseases; value-based care and new reimbursement mechanisms driving progress toward advanced payment models; a need for increased workforce productivity; consumer expectations that are compelling providers to leverage new technologies to engage people in new ways; and wide-scale availability of affordable connected home health devices, which are enabling patient-generated data delivery into the clinical workflow.
Schiller said there are several factors driving the need for RPM programs, including an aging population, data analytics and machine learning, and cost savings.
“We’ve done a lot of great groundbreaking work in the industry around RPM and I think in 2018 we’re going to start to see all of the evidence that we’ve laid out start to be realized in real broad-scale programs,” he said.
Also in 2018, patient satisfaction will be a market differentiator. Consumers will expect their provider to incorporate new technologies into their care, Schiller said, including patient-generated health data into the clinical workflow and programs of care.
“In an increasingly competitive landscape it’s critical that health care organizations pay more attention to improving satisfaction among chronic patients—communicating with patients at home in the course of their daily life is one way providers can successfully engage them and improve satisfaction,” he said.

How unbelievably cool would it be to be an actor and get cast as a superhero? The fact that they even get paid (and paid well) is a huge bonus!
What started back with Iron Man in 2008, has grown to involve several movies that bring in billions of dollars at the box office.
The most recent Avengers movie, Age of Ultron, raked in $1.405 billion and the most recent entry in the MCU, Captain America: Civil War, brought in $1.152 billion. You can only imagine that the expectations for the Infinity War series, which has an estimated budget of $1 billion, are high. After all, Age of Ultron's budget was $316 million and it was already one of the most expensive movies of all time.
Part of making up that $1 billion budget is paying the actors, one of whom might be raking in $200 million for his role in the upcoming Avengers movies.
While these actors haven't all made their money from superhero films, many of their paydays have become public knowledge and are listed below. Chris Evans' first crack at Captain America brought him $300,000, but do you know how much he got for Age of Ultron? And you may think it's Evans who earned the ridiculous payday from Captain America: Civil War, but it's RDJ's payday for his part in the movie that may make your jaw drop.
With overall net worths ranging from $1.5 million to $250 million, it's clear that at the very least, these stars can all live comfortably.
Granted it also helps when they star in films like The Hangover, which as you'll learn, made Bradley Cooper a very rich man. There's even a star below that at one point in her career, commanded $16 million per film!
Below we'll also cover some of the stars' upcoming film, including Kong: Skull Island, which involves 3 stars from the Marvel Universe, as well as which star is going to be voicing The Grinch!
Have a friend that loves the MCU? Feel free to share the list on social media.
20 Elizabeth Olsen - $1.5 Million Net Worth
Elizabeth Olsen does not have as much experience in the Marvel universe as some of the other powerhouses that you are going to read about below. As a result, her net worth is merely a paltry sum of $1.5 million (oh, the horror!)
It is clear that Olsen is both sexy and talented though, and we cannot wait to see more of her playing The Scarlett Witch. Unfortunately, fans are going to have to wait, as the next project Olsen takes on is Light on Broken Glass. Olsen will be portraying the younger version of Melody Harper, a Broadway artist who towards the end of her career struggles with the reality that her best days are behind her. As a result, she starts to have a mental breakdown and sees visions of her younger self, who Olsen portrays.
19 Anthony Mackie - $2 Million Net Worth
Anthony Mackie may not be the most experienced Marvel Universe actor, but with a net worth of $2 million, you can bet he isn't complaining. While you might always know him as The Falcon, Mackie also had notable roles in Pain and Gain, Gangster Squad and has even had experience both on and off-Broadway.
While nothing has been confirmed yet, there are rumors that a solo Falcon movie may be on the way in the future. You can imagine if this comes to fruition, that Mackie will be able to really live it up.
Mackie's most recent non-superhero role came in the TV movie, All The Way, in which he played the real-life superhero, Martin Luther King Jr.
It is clear Mackie loves taking on real-life roles, as he has also finished filming the movie Signal Hill, in which he is playing the famous lawyer, Johnnie Cochran.
18 Brie Larson - $10 Million Net Worth
You aren't going to be able to complete this list and not include the most recent member of the Marvel family, Brie Larson. Larson is cast as Captain Marvel and will be the first female to have her own solo Marvel film. While she hasn't cashed in a Marvel cheque quite yet, her current net worth of $10 million is nothing to sneeze at. Larson has definitely earned her income with roles in United States of Tara, 21 Jump Street and Room, the latter of which she won a Best Actress Award for at the Academy Awards.
Larson is also a former songwriter, but something tells me she is probably looking forward to living even more comfortably once the world gets to fall in love with her as a superhero.
Larson is currently set to star in Free Fire which also stars Cillian Murphy and is set in 1978. The movie tells the tale of two gangs meeting in a deserted warehouse, which then turns into a shootout and a game of survival. Sounds just a little intense, eh? Larson, like two other actors on this list, is also one of the leads in the upcoming movie Kong: Skull Island.
17 Zoe Saldana - $14 Million Net Worth
Zoe Saldana must really love traveling to space, as two of her biggest roles in Star Trek and Guardians of the Galaxy involve some serious amount of time in orbit. She may not have shown off her beautiful face, but Saldana was the lead of the movie Avatar, which earned $2.788 billion at the box office. So naturally, Saldana was locked down for the 3 Avatar sequels which have been confirmed (but are all in pre-production). It is clear that Saldana is no stranger to box office success, and with a personal net worth of $14 million, you can also understand that she probably isn't hurting for cash.
Saldana is also the lead in the movie Live By Night which was written and directed by (and stars) Ben Affleck. The movie is set during the Prohibition Era and if Affleck's track record is any indication on projects he works with, the movie will be nothing short of outstanding, which means Saldana's stock may be sky-high by the time Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 hits theaters.
16 Benedict Cumberbatch - $15 Million Net Worth
Okay, so he hasn't quite hit the big screen yet, but how excited are you for Doctor Strange?! The movie is set to release on November 4th and while it isn't clear how big of a part Strange will play in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the bigger the better.
Benedict Cumberbatch is a well-recognized actor for his outstanding portrayal of Sherlock Holmes in the BBC series. Cumberbatch also has a fantastic voice which he used to full effect playing the dragon Smaug in The Hobbit series. That won't be the last time you hear Cumberbatch though, as he was also cast as the Grinch in a 2018 animated version of How The Grinch Stole Christmas. Cumberbatch is also keeping himself busy by playing the voice of Shere Khan in an upcoming version of The Jungle Book.
All of those impressive roles, and yet Benedict Cumberbatch's net worth of $15 million is one of the lowest on this list. He may have some fantastic roles under his belt so far, but we bet Cumberbatch cannot wait for his Marvel cheques to start rolling in!
15 Cobie Smulders - $18 Million Net Worth
Now, she might not have any superpowers, but there is still no doubting that Smulders is a pretty kickass woman. Playing the character of Maria Hill, Smulders has appeared in the movies but has also appeared on the television show, Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. When it comes to where Smulders has earned her net worth of $18 million, you may have to look at her role of Robin Scherbatsky in the classic sitcom How I Met Your Mother.
Smulders has recently wrapped filming on the movie Jack Reacher: Never Go Back where she likely lays the smackdown on some people alongside Tom Cruise. Smulders is also working on Why We're Killing Gunther, in which a group of eccentric assassins (including Smulders) attempts to kill the world's greatest hitman, played by Arnold Schwarzenegger. The movie is being written by Taran Killam, who spent 6 years working on Saturday Night Live, so you can imagine it'll have some humor!
14 Tom Hiddleston - $20 Million Net Worth
You aren't going to be able to create a fantastic superhero movie without a villain that people can root against. Enter Tom Hiddleston, who does a fantastic job playing Loki in several of the superhero films. While his salary for playing Loki was not disclosed, overall, Hiddleston has a net worth of $20 million. Which means that him and his new girlfriend, Taylor Swift, can both afford to go out and have some pretty wild times.
Hiddleston, like Larson and our #2 candidate, is going to be appearing in the upcoming film Kong: Skull Island. Hiddleston most recently finished filming a TV Mini-Series, The Night Manager, that is also starring Hugh Laurie.
13 Mark Ruffalo - $20 Million Net Worth
Mark Ruffalo must have been ecstatic that things fell apart between Edward Norton and the studio and he was given the chance to take on the role of The Hulk. While he hasn't had his own individual movie yet, Ruffalo still earned an impressive $2-4 million for his 28 minutes in the first Avengers film. Sadly, Ruffalo brought in the least amount in comparison to his main co-stars for Age of Ultron, bringing in (only) $2.8 million. Granted it was also probably a factor that Ruffalo was literally on screen for less than 10 minutes!
Ruffalo has a net worth of $20 million that he has earned over the course of his career. As well as being a superhero, Ruffalo has appeared in Foxcatcher, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Spotlight. In 2017, the only movie that Ruffalo has on his docket is rocking out with Chris Hemsworth in Thor: Ragnarok.
12 Chris Pratt - $30 Million Net Worth
When Chris Pratt was first cast as the lead in Guardians of the Galaxy, a lot of people were understandably skeptical. After all, prior to this big break, Pratt may best have been known as the hilarious (but slightly chubby) Andy Dwyer on the television sitcom Parks and Recreation. In a hilarious moment after Pratt slimmed down over the course of the series, the writers included a joke that all he had to do was cut out beer. Something tells me it took a lot more work to get those abs!
Pratt is definitely a star on the rise, and with a net worth of $30 million, there is plenty to be optimistic about. His involvement in the first Guardians paid him $1.5 million and you can imagine that number jumped dramatically for the sequel.
Pratt's income is also helped by the fact that he starred in the blockbuster smash, Jurassic World. If you love Pratt's voice, but not his face, then you probably loved him in The Lego Movie, for which he got paid $900,000.
11 Jeremy Renner - $35 Million Net Worth
You don't have to see Renner with a bow in his hand to know he's a badass. After all, the star has kicked some butt in The Bourne Legacy, he's appeared in Mission Impossible movies and will appear in a sequel for both of those films in the upcoming years. While you may love his character, in an interview Renner said he told the studio that he would have been okay if they had killed his character in The Avengers. Renner had apparently grown restless with his story arc in which he was required to be brainwashed by Loki. Thankfully, Renner also admitted that “I don’t really want him to die now, I really got to explore him a lot and I can’t wait to explore him more and there’s some really cool ideas coming up. Really cool ideas. Great deaths! Amazing ways to die.”
Renner's bank account was probably pretty happy he stuck around for the sequel, Age of Ultron, in which he took home $6.1 million for his 20 minutes of involvement. Renner took home $2-4 million for his involvement in The Avengers, only appearing in the movie for 12 minutes. Overall, Renner has brought in $35 million which means he can probably afford to buy some pretty cool bows.
10 Josh Brolin - $35 Million Net Worth
Above you read about Loki, but when it comes to creating a captivating villain, even Loki may have to take a step back to Thanos. While we haven't been able to see Thanos on the screen for nearly as long as we'd like, it is clear that he is going to be a focal point of The Avengers: Infinity War movies. And considering the budget for the movie is going to be ridiculous, you can imagine Brolin is definitely not going to be hurting for money.
Brolin has already had a tremendous career that has seen him amass a net worth of $35 million. One of his best roles came in the movie Milk, for which he was nominated for a Best Supporting Actor Oscar. If you want to see a completely different side of Brolin, perhaps look no further than the satirical film W, in which he plays George W. Bush.
9 Chris Evans - $40 Million Net Worth
When you consider how unbelievably cool it would be to star as Captain America, the fact that he even gets paid must seem like a huge bonus! Chris Evans brought in roughly $2-4 million for his role in the first Avengers movie. Evans actually appeared on screen for longer than any other primary character, but as you'll read below, his paycheque didn't come close to our #1 actor. Evans was able to improve on his income substantially for Age of Ultron for which he earned $6.9 million. When he first donned the suit in the Captain America: The First Avenger, Evans only made $300,000. It is clear that he's been able to invest his money wisely, as it was reported that Evans is currently worth roughly $40 million.
Evans opened up in an interview with Jimmy Kimmel about his apprehensions when he was first approached with the character, saying "I was scared because at first, it was a nine-picture contract, and there are parts of me that have a little bit of social anxiety with this industry. Doing movies one at a time, if all of a sudden you decide you don’t want to do them anymore, you’re afforded the opportunity to take a step back and recalibrate. When you have a giant contract, if all of a sudden you’re not responding well, too bad, you gotta suit up again. That was scary."
Evans next rumored role is in the movie Jekyll, in which he plays the only living descendant of the legendary Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
8 Gwenyth Paltrow - $60 Million Net Worth
If Paltrow had a superpower, maybe it would be the ability to have an incredibly long and successful acting career? Paltrow is outstanding in her role as Pepper Potts, but sadly she has not translated this character to either of The Avengers movies. It's not like she needs the money as she currently has a net worth of $60 million.
Paltrow's income comes largely from other outstanding projects that she's been involved with, such as Se7en and Mortdecai, the latter of which starred Johnny Depp and Ewan McGregor and paid her $11.6 million.
It was also reported back in 2013 that the minimum to get Paltrow to appear in your movie was $16 million. While it is clear that some studios did not abide by that, it definitely helps add to your net worth in a hurry! Paltrow is currently working on the movie 33 dias, which stars Antonio Banderas who is playing Pablo Picasso.
7 Chris Hemsworth - $71 Million Net Worth
While you can imagine Thor probably doesn't have much use for money, Chris Hemsworth is probably pretty happy with the $71 million that he's earned in during his career so far. Helping that income is the $2-4 million that he brought in for the 25 minutes that he was on screen in The Avengers. When he picked up the hammer for the 2nd Avengers movie, Hemsworth brought home an impressive $5.4 million for only 14 minutes of screen time.
But that still is a far cry from the $71 million that he's worth. It definitely helps that Hemsworth has also been outstanding in other films such as Rush and Cabin In The Woods. Hemsworth has two upcoming Thor roles and is currently filming Thor: Ragnarok which is his 3rd solo film.
Hemsworth was also recently announced to play George Kirk in the upcoming Star Trek sequel.
6 Scarlett Johansson - $80 Million Net Worth
With a net worth of $80 million, it is clear that Scarlett Johansson is one of the richest female actresses in Hollywood. It definitely helps that Johansson got her first acting debut in 1994, though her first big breakthrough was in 1996 for the movie Manny & Lo.
Johansson first got to play the character of Natasha Romanoff for Iron Man 2. Her net worth is definitely helped by the fact that she was reportedly paid $20 million, to take on the role again in The Avengers: Age Of Ultron (but that's nothing on what RDJ got!). I guess it's not like the director could cast someone else in that role! Johansson reportedly got paid between $2-4 million for her role in the first Avengers film.
Johansson may be one of the sexiest women in Hollywood, but it's her voice that is going to captivate you next. Johansson will appear alongside Matthew McConaughey and Seth MacFarlane in the animated movie Sing.
5 Bradley Cooper - $90 Million Net Worth
You might not see his face, but Bradley Cooper is absolutely fantastic in his role of Rocket in Guardians of the Galaxy. The movie was a huge hit and fans cannot wait to see how the gang is going to have an impact on the rest of the Marvel Universe. Cooper is easily one of the biggest names in the Marvel franchise and has had several amazing films under his belt. Your favorite may very well be his hilarious role in The Hangover, but other roles like Silver Linings Playbook help to show that there is clearly so much more depth to the actor. With a net worth of $90 million, it's clear that the studio definitely is not afraid to pay for Cooper's services. It was reported that Cooper earned $5 million for his role in the 2nd Hangover and $15 million for his part in the 3rd. With that kind of money, you can cure any kind of Hangover!
The 2nd Guardians film is already in post-production which means it's only going to be a matter of time until we start seeing more photos and rumors spill out about the film. Some of the biggest additions will be Nathan Fillion and Sylvester Stallone both joining the cast.
4 Vin Diesel - $100 Million Net Worth
Now, we need to be completely upfront here. Of everyone on this list, Diesel may have the least amount of involvement with the Marvel universe. After all, how much do you really need to study your lines if all you're saying is "I am Groot"? There's no doubting that Groot was a charming part of the first Guardians, and with Baby Groot appearing at the end of the first one, you can imagine Diesel's job is far from done. Unfortunately, his salary for the role was not released so you can't find out just how much he got paid for his line.
Diesel's incredible net worth of $100 million that he's amassed over his career means that it probably didn't matter how much the contract was worth. Diesel has earned over $10 million for several movies in his career, including $15 million for Fast 5, $11.5 million for Chronicles of Riddick and $10 million for xXx.
Considering Diesel has finished filming the sequel for xXx, Guardians, and is currently filming Fast 8 with Fast 9 and 10 on the way, he won't be going broke anytime soon.
3 Anthony Hopkins - $160 Million Net Worth
Anthony Hopkins has had a tremendous career, and no matter how amazing he may be in his later films, it may always be hard to separate him from the character of Hannibal Lector. When Hopkins first took on the role in 1991 for the movie Silence of the Lambs, it netted him a Best Actor Award. When he took the role on again 10 years later in the movie Hannibal, Hopkins brought home $15 million.
If you thought that was impressive, Hopkins brought home $20 million when he played Lector a year later in the movie Red Dragon. Hopkins may not get to kill as many people as Odin, but any time you get offered the chance to play Thor's father, it's probably a pretty good decision to say yes.
While his salary from the Marvel movies is not clear, Hopkins has an overall net worth of $160 million.
2 Samuel L. Jackson - $170 Million Net Worth
There are a lot of actors on this list who may always be best known for their superhero role. That definitely won't be the case with Jackson, who's been creating a legendary career for decades now.
Jackson has played the character of Nick Fury, 16 times (including video games, TV and movies), first beginning in the first Iron Man film. Jackson's star power is probably what helped him reel in a salary of between $4-6 million for his appearance in the first Avengers movie. Sadly, details of his salary for Age of Ultron were not made public. Over his entire career, Jackson has raked in an impressive $170 million.
You can imagine that is only going to go up in the very near future as Jackson is not only rumored to be returning as Fury but is also one of the leads in the blockbuster Kong: Skull Island.
1 Robert Downey Jr. - $250 Million Net Worth
Do you want to get a rough idea as to just how much money Robert Downey Jr. is worth? How about the fact that when Age of Ultron was released, Downey Jr. took home a ridiculous $40 million. This made him the highest paid actor in the movie. Though to be fair, it was even less than the $50 million he got after bonuses for the first Avengers film. A movie that by the way, he was only on screen 37 minutes for. When RDJ returned in a major way for Captain America: Civil War, it was reported he brought home $40 million.
Reports are now starting to circulate that with the upcoming Infinity War 1 and 2, RDJ's salary could reach up to $200 million. Granted, the film is going to have a budget of roughly $1 billion, but that's still just insane.
As of this point in his career, Downey Jr. has a net worth of $250 million. Outside of his acting roles, RDJ had a $12 million sponsorship deal with HTC phones in 2013.

A new electronic ‘patch’ claims to heal wounds 30 percent faster than traditional bandages by sending electrical signals directly to the injured site.
Developed by engineers at Northwestern University, the innovation consists of flexible, stretchable electrodes, an energy-generating coil to power the system, and sensors that access the healing process.
When the wound has healed, the flower-shaped electrode dissolves in the body, eliminating the need to retrieve it.
In an animal study, the new bandage even healed diabetic ulcers 30 percent faster after 30 minutes than in unbanded mice.
A new smart ‘bandage’ claims to heal wounds 30 percent faster than traditional bandages. It does this by sending electrical signals to the site of the injury
Injuries disrupt the body’s normal electrical signals, but the new device restores them through electrical stimulation.
Northwestern’s Guillermo Ameer, who co-led the study, said, “Our bodies rely on electrical signals to function.
“We tried to restore or promote a more normal electrical environment over the wound.
‘We saw that cells quickly migrated into the wound and regenerated skin tissue in the area. The new skin tissue included new blood vessels and the inflammation was suppressed.
One side of the dressing contains two electrodes.
The electrodes are made of the metal molybdenum, which is widely used in electronic and semiconductor applications.
If this metal is thin enough, it can biodegrade, meaning it can disappear without interfering with the healing process.
“We are the first to show that molybdenum can be used as a biodegradable electrode for wound healing,” Ameer told SWS.
Injuries disrupt the body’s normal electrical signals, but the new device restores them through electrical stimulation. It consists of flexible, stretchable electrodes and a power-generating coil to power the system
‘After about six months most of it was gone. And we found that there is very little accumulation in the organs. Nothing unusual.
“But the amount of metal we use to make these electrodes is so minimal that we don’t expect it to cause any major problems.”
The first electrode, in the shape of a flower, sits on top of the wound bed.
The second is a ring-shaped electrode placed on healthy tissue to surround the wound.
On the other hand, there is a power harvesting coil to power the system and a Near-Field Communication (NFC) system that wirelessly transports data in real time.
Sensors have also been fitted so that doctors can see how well the wound is healing without follow-up appointments.
Sensors are also fitted at the end, allowing doctors to monitor the healing process in real time
They do this by measuring the resistance of the electric current through the wound.
As the wound gets better, the electrical current measurement decreases.
“When a wound is trying to heal, it creates a moist environment,” says Ameer.
“Then, while it heals, it should dry up. Moisture changes the current, so we can detect that by tracking electrical resistance in the wound.
‘Then we can collect that information and send it wirelessly.
‘With wound care management, we ideally want the wound to close within a month. If it takes longer, that delay can be a cause for concern.’
The team now plans to test their dressing for diabetic ulcers in a larger animal model, hoping to eventually test it on humans.
Because the bandage harnesses the body’s healing power without releasing drugs or biologics, it faces fewer regulatory hurdles.
This means patients can see the potential much earlier on the market.

Netflix today ordered Unstable, a new scripted comedy series starring Rob Lowe and his son, John Owen Lowe. Unstable is co-created and executive produced by both Lowes and Victor Fresco.
The series is set in a cutting-edge biotech research company, following an introverted, socially-challenged son who goes to work for his very successful, wildly eccentric father in order to save him from disaster. It is inspired by Rob and John Owen Lowe’s social media relationship, in which John Owen often humorously trolls his dad. Their posts often go viral and have been extensively covered in the media.
“We are very excited to be working with Victor, Rob and John Owen,” said Tracey Pakosta, Netflix Head of Comedy. “The three of them – and their wildly funny, smart sensibilities – are a perfect fit for our growing slate of scripted comedies.”
Rob Lowe’s iconic career spans four decades in film, television, and theater. Rob has been nominated for two Emmys, six Golden Globes, and four Screen Actors Guild awards, of which he won two.

Winter 2023-2024 TV Schedule + Release Dates Calendar
When does your favorite show come back on? Check it out on our winter release dates guide.
February 2024 Release Dates are here!


It is undeniable that The Winds of Winter is one of the much-awaited books to hit the shelves right now. As a matter of fact, avid followers of the A Song of Ice and Fire book series have been waiting for its arrival since 2011. Recently, George R.R. Martin just gave another reason for not launching the sixth installment of ASOIAF this year.
George R.R. Martin confirmed, via his LiveJournal blog, that Syfy channel has picked up an adaptation of his 1980 novel called Nightflyers. The 69-year-old The Winds of Winter author expressed his excitement over the upcoming project. In the post, the veteran novelist said he sat down with showrunner Daniel Cerone and writer-creator Jeff Buhler during his most-recent trip in Los Angeles.
“This was the first time I’d met (or spoken with) either Jeff or Daniel, but we had a great meeting, and I was impressed by their enthusiasm and their plans for the series.”
The brain behind the Game of Thrones series divulged that the television network acquired the rights to adapt Nightflyers into a series last year. Initially, George R.R. Martin said he did not like the idea of Syfy adapting his book into a TV show since almost all characters were lifeless at the end of both the novel and the film. However, The Winds of Winter author’s mind changed after reading Jeff Buhler’s script and appreciated his efforts to resolve the ambiguities.
“Honestly, at first I was baffled as to how they hoped to get a series out of my story, since at the end of the novella (and the film) pretty much everyone is dead (it was a horror story, after all). But in May, UCP got me a copy of Jeff Buhler’s script, and I saw how he’d dealt with that.”
George R.R. Martin furthered that the Nightflyers series would feature 10 full episodes. The Winds of Winter writer also revealed that Syfy has given a generous budget for the imminent television project. The Sandkings author also stated that the show would be shot in Limerick, Ireland.
“Presently Cerone and Buhler and their team are deep in the throes of pre-production and casting… and I have some news on the casting front as well, a casting that has pleased me more than I can possibly say, which I will save for another post.”
Before Nightflyers, George R.R. Martin had previously revealed that he would write the scripts of the upcoming five Game of Thrones prequels that would be shown on HBO soon, Variety reported. Because of this, fans cannot help but speculate that the release date of TWOW might be delayed again. However, the Bayonne-born author had already claimed that the much-anticipated sixth book of A Song of Ice and Fire series might be released in late 2018 or early 2019 along with the first volume of Fire and Blood. Stay tuned for the latest news and updates about The Winds of Winter!

Dana Completes Aftermarket Sale
Midas to Leave Exhaust Manufacturing
Hino Motor Opens New Long Beach Plant
AAA Names Top Southern California Auto Body Shops
Dana Corporation has completed the sale of its automotive aftermarket business, effective as of Nov. 30, to the Affinia Group, a division of The Cypress Group.
Price tag for the aftermarket division was approximately $1 billion with approximately $950 million paid in cash and $75 million in a note issued by Cypress.
Dana had originally asked for $1.1 billion in cash for its aftermarket assets.
The only part of its aftermarket division Dana has kept is the distribution and marketing operations for its engine products, such as piston rings, gaskets, and engine bearings, which Dana has retained as part of its Automotive Systems Group.
Included in the deal were 52 facilities employing approximately 13,000 people worldwide as well as Dana's replacement product brands — including the Raybestos and Wix brands — and a variety of under-vehicle components.
"We are extremely pleased to bring this transaction to a positive conclusion," said Dana CEO Michael J. Burns, announcing the deal. "We wish the people of the automotive aftermarket businesses the very best moving forward."
Burns added, "We believe the aftermarket team and their customers will be well served by their new association with The Cypress Group, which has expressed its dedication to growing this business and fully optimizing its opportunities moving forward."
National installer Midas is in negotiations to sell its IPC exhaust business and quit manufacturing exhaust products.
According to Midas President Alan Feldman, the company will leave parts manufacturing to focus on the "profitable retail and franchise business" at the core of the company.
Feldman said that terms of the sale negotiations include the future buyer honoring Midas' existing lifetime muffler warranty as well as supplying the Midas chain with muffler and exhaust products.
Once the deal is finalized, Midas officials say they will close their exhaust manufacturing plant in Hartford, WI., and their exhaust warehouse in Chicago, IL.
Hino Motor Limited has opened a new medium-duty commercial truck plant in Long Beach.
Hino, which is 37% owned by Toyota Motor Corporation, receives approximately half of the parts used in production — including engines and cabs — from Japan.
The company says they are planning on reaching a production rate of five trucks per day this year and sales of 3,000 trucks in 2004.
Hino plans to reach annual sales of 30,000 trucks from the Long Beach plant's production by 2010.
The Automobile Club of Southern California has released the top 50 "immediate repair" auto-body shops in the territory.

Not only are the citizens more critical to politicians’ actions nowadays, but even the youth are more concerned and expressive when it comes to issues of politicians and public service.
The Anti-epal campaign is still ongoing because HB 1967, or more commonly known as the Anti-Epal Bill, has not yet been passed into law and peal posters and tarps are still prevalent. The primary proponent of this bill is Senator Miriam Defensor-Santiago who filed the bill in 2011.
The bill would punish government officials who will use public funds to post giant pictures of themselves with diverse messages which are clearly posted out of their own personal interest. Imprisonment ranging from six months to one year would await future offenders.
The online campaign for the Anti-epal bill has also made it easier to raise awareness to more citizens. “With the rise of social media as a public forum for ordinary citizens, the Anti-Epal campaign has been garnering a fair amount of mileage. Pictures of “epalism” are easily shared and dissected by anyone with access online. Even the media and a senator had caught on the hype. It generated awareness on what constitutes a “trapo” and the lack of “delicadeza” permeating the public sector,” said Rachel Malaluan, an economics major.
People are complaining and criticizing these politicians openly but what exactly makes these epal posters and tarps unappealing and unethical?
Earvin Pelagio, a linguistics major, pointed out two problems regarding the emergence of these epal publicity materials, “Dapat hindi nila inaangkin yung credit para sa mga project na sinimulan nila dahil una, trabaho naman nila yon, pangalawa, hindi nila project yun, idea siguro nila pero project pa rin yun ng LGU.”
Aside from being unnecessary and unwanted, these epal materials also have an effect on the environment. Some students pointed out that politicians’ posters easily become trash that are scattered along the streets and even become the cause of the clogging go drainages. When they become trash, they become additional work for those who are cleaning the areas where they are posted.
The politicians who are do this more often are criticized for their actions. But who else may be responsible for the proliferation of these epal materials?
Nina Arellano, a materials engineering student, said that the politicians are not the only ones to blame since it the epal materials are only their way of campaigning to people who vote based on popularity, connections, and other biases. “Dapat kasi, nag-eeffort talaga tayo na kilalanin ang ating mga kandidato, hindi yung nagba-base lang tayo sa mga nakikita natin, or hinihintay lang natin na mangampanya sa atin ang mga kandidato.”
Some also mentioned that this is a problem unique to certain cities in rural areas. Students who come from different provinces say that it is surprising to see politicians taking too much credit for their supposed projects. Joana Bagano, a journalism student, even suggests a way to strengthen the law by “using terminology that clearly draws the line between what is allowable and not.” The bill can still benefit from suggestions like this.
Those who are interested to support and share evidences of epal politicians and materials can do so on social networking sites. One good example of this is a fan page on Facebook entitled “Support the Anti-Epal Bill” where anyone can post proofs of “epalism.” The site also has updates, news, and developments on the bill.


WA Police have charged a 29-year-old man after a girl was allegedly sexually assaulted in her home in a southern Perth suburb.
Police allege the man broke into the victim's home early on Saturday morning.
He is facing eight charges, including two counts of aggravated sexual penetration of a child under 13, three of aggravated indecent dealing and one of attempted sexual penetration.
Acting Assistant Commissioner Alan Morton said the man was detained by a family member until police arrived.
"This is quite an abhorrent crime. Whilst it's rare in Western Australia, I can only imagine how traumatic this must be for the victim and her family," he said.
Accused man taken to hospital
Acting Assistant Commissioner Morton said the accused man was injured at the house and was taken to hospital.
"At the time of the offence being committed, there were adults present at the address. Shortly after the commission of the sexual assault the father located the offender in the premises and then detained the suspect … until police arrived.
"When police attended at the address, as our duty of care first and foremost to the victim, but also to the offender in this instance who was conveyed to hospital to ensure any medical attention was provided. He was released shortly after and deemed fit to be in police custody.
"There've been no charges preferred against the father of the victim, and at this stage, I don't anticipate that happening in the future."
The 29-year-old has also been charged with aggravated burglary and threaten to kill, although police said the threat was not specifically made to the victim.
Police said the man had been staying at a nearby residence.
He appeared in court, but did not apply for bail.
He is scheduled to appear in court again on March 18.

Ecological And Economic Importance
To many people, bats conjure up images of vampires, evil spirits, or creepy castles. Many people also feel that bats are dirty, dangerous, ugly creatures that can get tangled in their hair. These misguided images are not, however, promoted in all societies. In some cultures bats are symbols of long life, good luck, and fertility. It is true that some species of bats can carry rabies and histoplasmosis, both of which are potentially dangerous diseases of humans and other animals. However, bats also provide crucial ecological and economic services that many people overlook.
Bat guano (excrement) collected from roosts has been used for centuries as a source of saltpeter for making gunpowder and fertilizer. Gunpowder made in this way was used in the United States during the War of 1812 and the Civil War. During World War II, U.S. military commanders considered using bats to carry small bombs into enemy territory; however, they abandoned "Project X-Ray" when one of their own buildings was gutted by a fire caused by a stray bat-ferried bomb.
Some bat species are important in the pollination and seed dispersal of plants of economic importance, such as the durian fruit of Southeast Asia. Bats are also dispersers of the seed of certain plants that colonize disturbed areas, and therefore play an important role in the revegetation of denuded places. Bats also consume vast quantities of insects, including mosquitoes and species that are agricultural pests.
Unfortunately, some bat species have recently become extinct, and many others are endangered. The geographic ranges of many other species have been drastically reduced. These ecological damages are often caused by the loss of roosting sites, deforestation, insect control, and environmental contamination with toxic pesticides, all of which are associated with human activity. The ecological consequences of the continuing decline of bat species are unknown. However, even our limited understanding of these animals suggests that the outcome will not be favorable to natural ecosystems or to the needs of humans.

Blue skies, clement temperatures, and autumnal foliage make this season ideal for exploring gardens and parks in Japan. Every major city has somewhere you can escape to, away from the tourist trail.
Kyoto's Murinan is an immersive experience
Moerenuma is a vast concept park in the suburbs. Renowned landscape architect Isamu Noguchi gave the former waste treatment facility a new lease of life. It turned out to be his final project. His vision was to make the park feel like a single, cohesive sculpture. Geometric sculptures and fountains dotted around undulating hills and mounds achieve the effect.
A favorite feature is Mt. Moere. The climb is worth it for the views of the surrounding area. The Glass Pyramid, which houses a gallery, a cafe, and a shop, is beautiful too.
Moerenuma Park is designed to be sculptural work of art
Tokyo has no shortage of captivating Japanese gardens, but one of the most charming is Rikugien. It was designed in the 1700s for Tokyo’s nobility, with paths circuiting a large central pond and various man-made mounds.
For a small fee, this tranquil garden makes a worthy addition to any Tokyo travel itinerary. Visitors can enjoy a peaceful amble, as well as a bowl of traditional matcha tea at the garden’s teahouse while contemplating the view of the pond.
Utsubo Park is known for its beautiful blooms
Osaka is less famous for its aesthetics than it is its outstanding food and outgoing people. However, there are some hidden beauties in this buzzing city.
Utsubo Park is small but beautiful. The historic site is a former Second World War airstrip, which was transformed into a shady spot with a pretty rose garden. It’s close to Honmachi and downtown Shinsaibashi, making it easily accessible.
Step back in time at Hattori Ryokuchi Park
Hattori Ryokuchi Park is another lovely spot. Its bamboo forest and open-air museum, featuring old Japanese farmhouses, draws visitors all year. However, it really comes into its own during cherry blossom season, when it’s one of the most popular places in the city for sakura viewing (hanami).
Tower of the Sun is the iconic and unusual star of the Expo Commemoration Park
An offbeat alternative is the Expo Commemoration Park around 15 kilometers north of Umeda. It’s home to the iconic—and somewhat perturbing—Tower of the Sun. The 70-meter tall tower was built in 1970 for an Expo and has been preserved here since. Visitors can’t enter the tower, but it certainly is a spectacle to behold.
Murinan is considered a masterpiece
Murinan is a Japanese garden created by venerated landscape gardener Ogawa Jihei and Yamigata Aritomo, one of the founding fathers of modern Japan. It is widely regarded as a masterpiece.
The garden’s design marked a shift away from the traditional symbolist style, where a pond represents the sea and stones depicted islands, to a more naturalist style, where the surrounding mountains and rivers create a sense of motion.
Known for his preference for rivers over ponds, Ogawa sought to engage all the senses in an immersive garden experience, rather than to encourage people to contemplate.
Murinan offers respite from busy Higashiyama, an area extremely popular with tourists, so take the opportunity to visit an oft-overlooked attraction. Fall is the perfect time to visit when the foliage turns to fiery reds and oranges.

While marking a law which will banish Africans from nations where Presidents are doing nothing and those have declined to leave control,
Trump said Magufuli is a case of good pioneers in Africa and his nation merits exceptional treatment.
"This law will influence nations like Zimbabwe, Uganda and other African nations where Presidents have declined to leave control doing nothing. Tanzania is not one of them since my namesake there President John Magufuli is making a superb showing with regards to. Really Magufuli ought to be utilized as a decent illustration yet his neighbor Museveni ought to be utilized at whatever point terrible case is required." Said Trump.
As indicated by Trump, Tanzanians won't be limited going to US and they will appreciate uncommon treatment affability of President Magufuli.
Notwithstanding, Trump saluted President Magufuli for his authority. "Congrats my namesake John Magufuli, you are the African saint." Remarked President Trump.
