The Oscars is the most prestigious award in the movie industry. It is also one of the most viewed shows on TV. Certain movies and actors have been immortalized for their award-winning performances. There are many categories for the awards, big ones being Best Picture, Best Actor/Actress, Best Director, along with others such as Supporting Actor/Actress, Best Cinematography, Best Costume, etc. Now, how come there is not an award for best scene in a movie? There have been many emblematic scenes where every line, every detail have been memorized and recited verbatim by many. We need to create a category for this award!!! This brilliant idea occurred to me while I was watching Resident Evil: Extinction. There was one scene in it that was so momentous that I thought, "That is the best scene I have ever seen in a movie!!!" Ladies and gentlemen, the winner of the Blondie for Best Scene in a Movie is.....fast forward to 7:11 of the next clip (best viewed with full screen and volume up).
In baseball, there have been certain players who were great early in their careers and then mysteriously faded off towards the tail end. They are said to have played their way out of the Hall of Fame. The rollercoaster ride career of Tom Cruise would fall under this category. Is he still a movie superstar fitting of HOF considerations? After some deliberation, the BAFH committee reached a verdict...to induct Tom Cruise into our Blondie Hall of Fame. It was a grueling ordeal. Is he in? Is he out? Let us take you through our thought process with the Tom Cruise timeline!!!
1) Promising Beginnings
Tom Cruise had movie star written all over him from the beginning. He had that look of charm, that smirk of confidence. In the beginning, he played a few roles as impudent, smart-ass characters. His on-screen persona was a perfect match for being Maverick on Top Gun, one of the all-time great pioneering movies. Let's check out the memorable volleyball scene where great cinematography masked Tom's vertical challenges.
2) The Immaculate Performance
Cruise's acting reached momentous heights with his immaculate performance in Rain Man opposite Dustin Hoffman, who himself turned in one of his greatest performances and won the Oscar. Tom held his own throughout the movie and was not upstaged by Hoffman's brilliance. The plot of the movie is that Cruise and Hoffman's characters drive cross-country. Not much happens, except some tremendously great acting in scene after scene. It is an overall all-time great movie and performances with a great soundtrack to boot.
3) Turbulence, Spiral, Just Strange
Things started to get rocky as Cruise married and divorced Nicole Kidman, made a bizarre movie, Eyes Wide Shut, mixed in with some good performances in A Few Good Men and Jerry Maguire (nominated for Oscar). He joined scientology, became involved with Katie Holmes, and then it all came to a surprising head with the couch hop. His strange behavior on Oprah costed movie studios about a billion dollars. This clip speaks for itself.
4) Redemption...Rise of the Phoenix!!!
Cruise earned a measure of redemption with a hilarious role in Tropic Thunder. It was an interesting cast, as Ben Stiller, Robert Downey, Jr, Jack Black, Matthew McConaughey, and Tom's individual stars were all moving in different directions. Nonetheless, it was a funny movie where Tom showed his sense of humour by not taking himself too seriously.
So, where are we now with Tom Cruise??? His past few movies have come and gone without much fanfare. We choose to remember the good times, and so we induct Tom Cruise into the Blondie Hall of Fame. I...feel...amazing!!! Couch hop!!!
America is known as a land of diversity, decorated with different cultures from sea to shining sea. Here at BAFH, we are all for it!!! We love different ways of doing things. Down with communism!!! Within the fabric of America is a sub-culture of blondies. Yep, blondies have cultures...and ergo, sub-cultures. Wow, that's deep. Ahhh yes, blondies are not all the same. To further explore the nuances of blondie sub-cultures, we shall go hip hop!!!...and consider the east coast vs west coast blondies.
1) East Coast Blondie
The east coast is known for its hustle and bustle. It has subways packed with sardines of commuters, cold weather, and a dog-eat-dog survival of the fittest rat race. This mentality permeates even to the blondies. Yep, the east coast blondie is bitchy, tough, and cold-blooded. This personification was played splendidly by Margot Robbie (looking great in pink) in The Wolf of Wall Street. Check it out. Now that's what I'm talkin' about .
2) West Coast Blondie
Now, the west coast...ahhh, "We love L.A......We love it!!!" We have a sweet spot for the west coast, and namely, Los Angeles and Las Vegas!!! These two fabulous cities are known for beautiful actors/showgirls, bright/neon lights, great weather, easy-going demeanor, and risk-taking sharpies. From this fertile ground has grown the west coast blondie (also looking great in pink) who is ditzy, air-headed,...and oh, the voice....huh???? How??? How can this be??? Oh, it'd be...next clip, west coast blondie goes hip hop.

Taking Command Of The Moments They’ll Take With Them.
Extending the restaurant brand experience through remarkable packaging design
One of the primary ways packaging extends a restaurant brand is through takeout packaging. More often than not, restaurant brands see takeout packaging as a utilitarian necessity. We think takeout materials should be approached as opportunities to extend the reach and messaging of a brand instead. Bags become billboards. Cups become campaign drivers. All focus on gaining interest while doubling as endorsements from those who carry and display the brand packaging materials.
There’s another way to extend a restaurant brand outside the four walls. Food packaging is the ideal because not only is the brand out in the world, the flavor is, too. At Vigor we approach packaging iconic brand flavors like sauces, coffee, rubs, and more, as opportunities to tell stories and keep you on consumers’ minds.
Takeout packaging that grabs attention
Successful packaging design for restaurants goes way beyond servicing the utility of holding and transporting food. It’s a big opportunity to showcase and promote the brand’s deeper story and aesthetic. Furthermore, it’s one of the only brand touch-points that can be an experience in third-party delivery scenarios.
We approach packaging design with these realities as a guide to answer the question, “How can this vessel create unexpected moments of intrigue and elation?”
Retail line extensions for restaurant brands
Restaurants build captivated audiences who become loyal advocates. That advocacy can create a demand for retail line extensions of signature products. From sauces and spice blends to beverages and more, we help restaurant brands explore and deploy successful consumer packaged goods that not only open new lines of revenue but also continue to build the brand narrative.
Craft Beer & Cider Branding & Packaging
Not only do we develop innovative, extraordinary brands for restaurants, our talents have also been adapted to the craft beer and cider industries. We’ve been integral in developing strategies, identities, and packaging suites that challenge the status quo and redefine expectations.

The anti-vaccine group Safe Minds got their underoos all in a twist because they spent money on a study, only to once again have science debunk their claims that vaccinating your children puts them at risk for autism.
The study, which took place over the course of about 6 years, focused on behavioral changes in baby monkeys when they were given vaccines. The study’s findings appeared in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, and say what many studies have found before it: vaccines are not linked to autism in any way.
The study…involved 79 infant monkeys in six groups. Two groups were given thimerosal-containing vaccines. Thimerosal is an antiseptic and antifungal agent that was frequently used in vaccinations until it was removed in the U.S from vaccines given to children in the 90s, and is frequently cited by anti-vaxxers as a cause for autism. The next two groups were given the MMR vaccine (also claimed to cause autism) without thimerosal, and the final two were given saline injections as a control.
They also report its findings thusly:
No behavioral changes were observed in the vaccinated animals, nor were there neuropathological changes in the cerebellum, hippocampus, or amygdala. This study does not support the hypothesis that thimerosal-containing vaccines and/or the MMR vaccine play a role in the etiology of autism.
Simply put, choosing not to vaccinate one’s children puts not only the unvaccinated children at risk, but it also threatens those around them and jeopardizes the safety of those who are legitimately unable to be vaccinated.
Safe Minds released the following nonsense after the study’s results were published, claiming bias and all sorts of other reasons their desired results were not achieved:
“The epidemic of autism is expected to cost the country $1 trillion by 2025 if prevalence trends continue,” Safe Minds said in their statement.
“In a recent study, over 40 percent of parents agree or strongly agree that vaccines played a part in the development of their children’s autism. The vaccine primate study in question consisted of multiple phases,” the statement continued. “The initial phase found a series of negative effects in infant reflexes and brain growth among those exposed to vaccines. The second, recent phase purported to find no effect. SafeMinds has concerns about changes in the study design protocol and analysis that may have led to these contradictory results. We are in the process of collecting and reviewing additional information regarding this study.”
In other words, they don’t care what the science says.
Using the anti-vaxxer logic, it would be better for a child to have a crippling or even deadly disease, than to expose that child to a vaccine that allegedly could trigger autism.
If I were inclined toward having children, I’d definitely choose the latter, and the fact that these people would rather their children and other children suffer from preventable diseases than have autism (a risk that isn’t even remotely real) is really offensive to those on the spectrum as well.

FRANK & DINAH'S DAZZLING DUET - THE DINAH SHORE CHEVY SHOW - NBC-TV - CIRCA 12/09/62
Nothing could be finer than Frank swingin' with Miss Dinah... in living color.
There is little for KINESCOPE HD to offer as narrative or context for the superlative, mischievous, vibrant performance that two legends of American popular music, Sinatra and Shore, presented to viewers of THE DINAH SHORE CHEVY SHOW on Sunday evening, December 9, 1962.
Ms. Shore's 60 minute, musical/variety/comedy series, sponsored by the Chevrolet Division of General Motors, was lavishly mounted, technically innovative, highly rated and award winning. It was a wholesome,welcome,family viewing experience for over a decade on the NBC Television Network.
Austere in staging, yet sophisticated in execution, the brassy duet is, in my humble opinion, an archetypal variety show segment from the immediate, post-Eisenhower-era.A time when television's primetime, network, tv schedules were replete with studio-based music and comedy
Here, from the DONGEHRINGER YOU TUBE site, are Dinah Shore and Frank Sinatra, singing and swinging on a Sunday night for Chevrolet.Enjoy!!!!! :)

The residents of Hurlstone Park, on the fringe of Canterbury Bankstown, have had enough. Rising fury at hotspot COVID-19 restrictions and policing have led to a push to secede from their council and join the Inner West.
Their suburb was tacked onto the city’s most populous local government area, which sprawls across Sydney’s south-west, despite their objections, and now they’re stuck under onerous rules despite their suburb’s low case numbers and a high vaccination rate.
“The anger is quite palpable, about how this ‘LGA of concern’ concept has affected us,” says Tim Jurd, a retired school principal. “Most definitely there will be a residual hostility to the decisions that were made here.”
In nearby Campsie, many residents feel hurt and confused.
In normal times, pharmacist Angela Song’s job goes beyond filling medical scripts for elderly Korean residents to navigating the world of officialdom for them; she fills in their Centrelink forms and rings their electricity providers.
Lately, however, their questions have changed. They’re asking about the area’s tighter restrictions - a curfew, exercise limits, and constant police presence - with a mixture of fear and bewilderment. “They feel stigmatised,” she says. “[They ask], is it because we don’t speak English? We’re not an affluent part of society, is that why?”
Sydney is the most unequal city in Australia, a divide once acknowledged in the open rivalry between “westy” fibros and north shore silvertails but that no longer provokes as much public discussion.
As income continues to concentrate in the hands of the top 10 per cent, health, education and employment outcomes slide for many of those living on the wrong side of the so-called Latte Line, an imaginary divide running north-west from the airport that roughly cleaves the city on a host of economic and social indicators.
Uneven COVID-19 restrictions have brought dormant resentments roaring back to life. “It has definitely drawn more attention to existing inequalities in Sydney and shone a light on things that were pretty invisible,” says Sydney University’s Kurt Iveson, who researches the city’s geography.
Instead of imposing city-wide restrictions, as Melbourne did, the NSW Coalition government introduced a two-tiered system to target areas with higher cases. The 47 per cent of Sydneysiders subject to tighter restrictions includes some of the city’s most disadvantaged.
The decision spared half of the city the more onerous limitations, such as curfews and strict limits on exercise. It also worked; case numbers in hotspots are, slowly, going down. But from Penrith to Pagewood, anger is building over what many residents consider arbitrary, unfair and economically damaging rules. “We are so angry, but outside the hotspots no-one cares,” says Grace Smith, a public servant from Earlwood. “We feel like we have no power, and no voice.”
Accusations that those in the west and south-west who speak up are fanning the flames of division have done little to quell that fury. Residents want to know what the government will do to make it up to them. And if it’s not enough, their anger could influence the next state election.
Division has been a hallmark of the Delta outbreak. The past few months have pitted state against state, region against city, council against council and even neighbour against neighbour, as residents follow ministerial directions to dob each other in.
“The national discourse is all about conflict,” says Professor Ian Hickie, the co-director of Health and Policy at the University of Sydney’s Brain and Mind Centre. “We’ve lost the capacity for empathy, for the difficulty other people face.”
Hickie is concerned the division and resentment will linger well beyond the pandemic, deepening Sydney’s divisions and further marginalising those already at risk of alienation, such as the refugee and muslim communities. Professor Marc Stears, the director of the Policy Lab at the University of Sydney, agrees, and has been shocked by the willingness of those who usually speak out against inequality to look the other way as harsher restrictions - some with little evidence - were imposed on the most vulnerable.
“If you’d locked down [poorer] Brixton in London with different rules than [wealthier] Chelsea or Kensington, there would have been front page news,” he says. “You can’t help but worry that there were whole communities who just felt that nobody cared when things were really bleak for them.”
The Delta outbreak began in mid-June, and by mid-August, 12 Local Government Areas had been declared hotspots due to rapidly climbing case numbers. That number hasn’t changed in more than a month. At first, they had stricter mask rules and more limits on unnecessary travel, but restrictions soon widened to essential workers, who needed regular testing to leave their area, a curfew, and an exercise limit. The curfew was lifted on Wednesday, but while vaccinated adults can now enjoy a picnic with four friends in other parts of Sydney, those in hotspot suburbs can only have one with members of their household, for no more than two hours.
The curfew was deeply unpopular. Berejiklian imposed it on hotspots on August 20, after saying for weeks that there was little evidence to support it. A fortnight later, Deputy Premier John Barilaro told regional journalists that curfews didn’t work and were imposed on residents due to media pressure. It hurt shift workers, and people who needed to dash to the shops unexpectedly or wanted a late evening walk. But for many, it was “more psychological,” says Jihad Dib, the Labor MP for Lakemba; an unfamiliar curb on freedoms. Berejiklian has defended all the decisions by saying they were based on health advice.
Residents have also been angered by the perception of inconsistency. Case numbers are growing and vaccinations are lower in the city and Randwick, yet they are not hotspots. Why is Burwood still an LGA of concern, when it has fewer cases than Waverley, which is not, asks Burwood Mayor John Faker? “It doesn’t make sense,” says Faker. “You can’t get a clear criteria [on what constitutes a hotspot] from anyone in the government. [Residents] are doing the right things but they’re still being punished.”
Hotspot boundaries have also angered residents. The Coalition pushed council mergers in 2016, a policy never intended as a public health measure. Canterbury merged with Bankstown to become the city’s largest Local Government Area. Some councils, such as Woollahra and Waverly, did not merge, even though their union would have made more sense than plonking Botany and Rockdale, on different sides of the airport, in an awkward marriage to create Bayside, a hotspot. “The context of COVID, where the restrictions are at an LGA level, really highlights how some of this doesn’t make sense,” says Professor Roberta Ryan, a political sociologist at the University of Newcastle.
The only council area not made a hotspot in its entirety was Penrith. There, some suburbs - mostly those represented by Labor - were included, while others were not. Like her Burwood counterpart, Penrith Mayor Karen McKeown still does not know how the hotspot designation was decided, the criteria under which it will be lifted, or why Penrith became an exception.
Some residents have asked whether it was an attempt to protect cabinet minister Stuart Ayres’ marginal seat. “The perception out here is that the decisions are political, and in the absence of more information, what else can people think?”.
Ayres “categorically rejected” that politics was involved in the decision. The cases leaked into the area from hotspots to the south, such as Liverpool. “Is the Mayor of Penrith really suggesting we should lock all of Penrith down?” he asks.
Ayres expects Local Government Areas will no longer be used to mark boundaries of concern once a 70 per cent vaccination is achieved. “It is incredibly blunt and while it worked when there was low vaccination, why would you knock out an entire LGA when there is 70, 80, 90 per cent vaccination?” he says.
Liberal MPs have also been pushing the government to base restrictions on suburbs rather than LGAs. But some don’t believe it’s the answer. “Given the high vaccination numbers, this proposal reinforces division when we need more unity,” says Lakemba Labor MP Jihad Dib.
Treasurer Dominic Perrottet has said he wants the whole city to emerge from lockdowns together, too, although Berejiklian has not yet backed that view. Perrottet, who has met most of the hotspot mayors over the past week, says the big challenge is restoring confidence. He will use the mayors’ feedback as he develops an economic recovery plan, which is expected in early October and likely to include funding for infrastructure, tutoring and mental health services. “We need to re-open as much of Sydney and NSW together to avoid disruptions and dislocations,” he tells the Herald.
If anger does not subside, some Coalition electorates will be in the firing line. Several of the party’s seats along the hotspot belt, including Parramatta and Oatley, are held by a slimmer margin due to a redistribution. East Hills, which covers the Revesby area, is held by Wendy Lindsay by a wafer-thin 0.5 per cent.
Labor leader Chris Minns was targeting those areas before the Delta outbreak, raising issues such as high tolls and rapid development. The growing fury over COVID-19 restrictions has given him a better shot at winning back the party’s traditional heartland.
“[The west and south-west is] the target for anyone looking to win the next election,” says Labor strategist Bruce Hawker. If residents’ anger dims in the 18 months until the March 2023 election, Labor will remind them. “How long did you spend in a hard lockdown with very limited movements allowed to you, with a curfew, when people in the eastern suburbs had no such restrictions?” he says.
There is mounting evidence that, while the lockdown has caused economic pain across the city, LGAs of concern have taken the hardest hit. Seven weeks after the city went into lockdown the largest employment losses were in Fairfield (down 17.7 per cent) Canterbury (17 per cent) and Bankstown (15.6 per cent), Australian Bureau of Statistics payrolls data shows.
Small independent firms in the west have also been hit harder, with purchases at that type of business plunging 70 per cent. In the north and east, spending at small retailers has been higher than pre-lockdown levels. Nick Kamper, from business analytics firm Purpose Bureau, warns western Sydney faces an “employment crisis”.
The restrictions may have been blunt and uneven, but they worked. Professor Mark Stoové from the Burnet Institute says they drove case numbers down, although he cannot pinpoint which measure was most effective because they were introduced in a bundle. However, cases in other areas of Sydney are now going up. He argues the restrictions should have been applied uniformly across the city. “It would be a pity for all the hard work of those 12 LGAs to ultimately be undone because cases are increasing elsewhere,” he says.
Discussion of the plight of people in hotspots irritates some residents of the northern beaches, who argue they did their bit for the state for three weeks over Christmas. Many businesses paid a heavy price; those who were forced to take out loans to survive the last lockdown have not survived this one.
Mayor Michael Regan admits to a little “us and them” resentment when the northern part of the region was locked down, yet the southern end was not. He says he heard from angry, lockdown-weary Victorians when he spoke out for his constituents doing it tough, but the majority of people were “positive and looking on the bright side”. He criticised the western and south-western suburbs mayors for their outspokenness during the Delta outbreak, arguing they have fanned the flames of division by saying they deserved better.
However, Hickie says empathy for others is an important element of social cohesion. “The long-term impacts [will be] on those who are already marginalised; they become angry and more marginalised. Public health and mental health and wellbeing depends on shared pro-social values, not on more anger, more alienation.” Stears agrees. In order for the city to heal, he says, “people who usually care about those questions of inequality, injustice are going to have to start caring again and do what they usually do - be loud about the problem.”
Sydney can learn lessons from its COVID-19 experience. One, says Professor Ryan, is that we really are all in this together, regardless of political or social differences. “You can be as rich as you like,” she says. “If everyone is not vaccinated, then none of us is safe.” Another is ensuring that infrastructure keeps pace with development, local services are properly funded and community voices are heard. “The real leaders in this have turned out to be community leaders, non-government organisations, people embedded in the community, trying to articulate what their community needs,” says Hickie.
Even if the economy bounces back, the hardest-hit workers and businesses will have depleted savings, mounting debts and lingering health issues, warns Iveson.
Andrew Charlton, who was economic adviser to former Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, says the post-lockdown period is an opportunity to “level up” economic prospects in Sydney. “What this crisis has shown is that western Sydney has quite a different economy to other parts of the city,” he says. It has a high share of small businesses, and many people in jobs that cannot be done from home. He suggests a mix of policies tailored to boost activity and employment in the west, including payroll tax relief for businesses, additional infrastructure investment and targeted support for young people who lost employment including skills training. “That feels like a real no-brainer to me,” he says. “It’s an opportunity to ensure there’s a real economic bounce in western Sydney.”
Iveson warns that careful planning was needed to ensure the recovery phase did not deepen divisions. “Opening up as soon as we safely can has to be the goal, but it won’t magically bring us back together,” he says. “There are material inequalities that we are going to carry into that recovery but there are also a bunch of new divisions that are both social and geographical,” he says. “It is a moment for us to think carefully about how we come out of this and whether we help fix that, or potentially make it worse.”

I 've used Acid for ten years and am really too old and tired to learn another DAW well, but I like the Ketron SD2 hardware synth enough to at least try. Cubase and Sonar are the only PC DAWs with a patch that lets the user easily access all the instruments in the synth. I tried the Cubase 7 Elements demo, I set up Kontakt just to see how that would work and any sound I played would not turn off. I tried the same thing in Reaper and everything worked great from performance to render, but Reaper doesn’t have a Ketron patch so that’s no good. Any help appreciated. Oh yeah, my 30 days on the demo is up, does Steinberg allow a second demo period?

EXTRACTS from BROCCOLI and ALFALFA sprouts
The extracts from broccoli and alfalfa sprouts and their mix /50% each/ can be consumed with yogurt, juice or kefir, or as seasoning for salads and cooked foods. One teaspoon is equivalent to 50 grams of fresh sprouts. It has been established that the regular consumption of broccoli sprouts is the best approach for prevention of cancer. Furthermore broccoli cleanse and recovers tissues from respiratory infections and stomach and intestine diseases, strengthen the vascular walls and help with swelling, flu, cardiac disease, obesity, atherosclerosis, gall bladder and liver problems. One hundred grams of alfalfa provide 80 percent of the recommended daily doses for adults of all vital minerals and vitamins. Furthermore they contain 20% proteins and 25% fiber. It is not a coincidence that the majority of chefs in elite restaurants advise people to part with the prejudice that alfalfa is only farm animal fodder.

Police have arrested two senior officials from contractors Hyundai and Gammon India have been arrested following the collapse of an under-construction bridge over the Chambal river near Kota in Rajasthan on Christmas Eve.
Several labourers were working on the bridge over the Chambal river at Dabi-Nayagaon in the state of Rajasthan, when the accident happened on 24 December. According to local police. Rescuers have recovered 12 bodies but fear 30 other people still missing could be dead.
The bridge was being built by a joint venture between Hyundai and Gammon India
The Press Trust of India has reported that JY Hue, chief project manager of Hyundai Engineering and construction and R Chatopadhyay, deputy project manager of Gammon India have appeared before a local court and are being held on remand for five days.
Dozens of labourers fell into the water late Thursday when the bridge on which they were working gave way over the Chambal river on the outskirts of the city of Kota in Rajasthan state.
“At least 45 people are presumed to have died in the bridge collapse,” senior police official Rajeev Dasot told the Associated Free Press, raising the estimated death toll from 17.
Two teams of naval divers were helping retrieve bodies from the deep waters and authorities were considering demolishing the remaining portion of the structure.
Neither contractors have made a statement on the accident.
India’s national highway authority and the state government have launched an inquiry into the accident.

It was estimated that in 2020 2.7 billion gamers, and the number is continually growing. The increased popularity of video games has resulted in a considerable increase in the number of people suffering from the positive and negative impacts of video games.
Video games are unlike any other kind of entertainment in that they invite players to participate in the story. Even though video games have been around for over 30 years, today’s complex alternatives need players to pay close attention to the game. Players interact more physically and emotionally than viewers of a movie or television show.
So, it’s essential to track and control your gaming schedule. You can use package tracking to track your daily video game usage and keep it in balance mode.
Are there any benefits of Gaming?
It is only fair to discuss the advantages of gaming before moving on to the disadvantages. Gaming may give a method for people to communicate with others. The virtual community! They work together to complete several tasks and get exciting coupons and gift cards.
We all know how devastatingly the generation suffers from a loneliness pandemic. Gaming may be a golden ticket for connecting with others, especially otherwise difficult-to-connect-with people in your life, such as kids, grandkids, or we have witnessed autistic youngsters who have difficulty communicating using traditional methods.
There is conflicting evidence suggesting gaming has cognitive benefits, such as greater attention control and spatial reasoning. Yet, it is unclear how far these benefits extend outside of the video game environment into the real world.
Video games can be used to instruct patients with degenerative disorders to improve their balance, help adolescents with ADHD improve their thinking skills, or teach surgeons how to perform technically tricky surgeries.
Overuse injuries, also known as repetitive stress injuries, occur when muscles and tendons are used repeatedly to the point where discomfort and inflammation develop. If these injuries are allowed to progress, they can cause numbness and weakening and irreversible harm. Gamers are prone to overuse injuries to their hands and arms.
When the tendons that move the thumb become inflamed, it is known as “Gamer’s thumb,” which was previously known as “PlayStation thumb” (or “Nin tendinitis” or “Nin tendonitis” when Nintendo was popular). De Quervain’s tenosynovitis is the medical word for this condition, which causes swelling and limited movement.
A trigger finger, also known as tenosynovitis, is when a finger becomes stuck in a bent posture due to persistent inflammation. Tennis elbow is a painful inflammation of the tendon that inserts into the bone on the outside of the elbow that affects gamers.
Gamers frequently complain about vision difficulties. Eye strain is the most frequent eyesight impairment, which can cause headaches and poor attention. Seizures have been documented as a result of gaming, prompting box warnings.
Gaming has also been linked to mental health issues. It’s still unclear whether video game addiction, sometimes known as internet gaming disorder (IGD), is a different condition. IGD is described as experiencing at least five of the following nine criteria over 12 months, according to the American Psychological Association:
- · Loss of interest in other activities.
- Downplaying use.
- Loss of a relationship, educational, or career opportunities.
- Gaming to escape or relieve anxiety, guilt, or other negative mood states.
- Failure to control.
- Continued gaming despite psychological problems.
- Gaming preoccupation.
Gaming has also been linked to sleep loss, insomnia, circadian rhythm issues, depression, anger, and anxiety. However, more research is needed to confirm the validity and intensity of these links.
There has also been worry that exposing teens and young adults to the excessive violence present in video games can desensitize them to such violence, producing emotional problems and potentially leading to young people committing acts of violence.
Let’s Sum UP:
In short, rather than letting the game overtake your life, playing video games may be enjoyable and social when they are integrated into a balanced lifestyle that includes enough sleep, exercise, and a decent diet.

Puff pastry is a beautiful thing. It's what we call a laminated dough, made by repeatedly folding butter and dough together until the layers are paper thin. When the heat of the oven hits the dough, steam expands from the melting butter and voila: you've got a light and delicately flaky pastry.
But as anyone who has tried to make puff pastry from scratch can attest, it not only takes time, but it's also kind of a pain in the ass. The temperature of the butter and the dough, as well as the ambient conditions of the room you're in, need to be just right for the pastry to turn out perfectly. Even after years of practice, it still makes me nervous. It's no wonder that most of us would rather just pop a package of pre-made frozen puff pastry in the shopping cart.
But most of us don't know what we're missing. From-scratch puff pastry is awesome. And many of us don't realize that there's an easier way to do it.
Years ago I came across blitz puff pastry, a method which does away with the worst step of the traditional method: perfectly encasing a block of butter into an envelope of dough. Instead, blitz puff pastry incorporates cubes of frozen butter, and after successive folding and rolling out, the chunks of butter flatten out and become layered into the dough. The results are very close to a traditional method, and much more foolproof. Yes, there is still a time commitment, but it comes without the usual stress.
Once you make up your own batch of Blitz Puff Pastry, what are you going to do with it? Here are three great ideas: the best Apple Turnovers you've ever had in your life, juicy Plum Tarts, and a savory Breakfast Egg Tart.
The Apple Turnovers are giant and luscious. Pre-cooking the apple and cinnamon filling gives you a head start on softening the apples, allowing you to focus on baking the pastry just right. Formed into the traditional triangle shape, these can even be made in advance and kept frozen.
Slightly easier to make are the juicy Plum Tarts. Pile fresh ripe plums and cinnamon sugar onto squares of puff pastry and bake until the pastry is golden and crisp and the fruit is soft.
For a savory twist, try the Ultimate Breakfast Tart: fill puff pastry shells with cheese, cherry tomatoes, and an egg. Pre-baking the puff pastry means all the components end up with the right texture: the pastry is crisp, the cheese melted, and the egg is just cooked through.
A final note to keep in mind no matter what recipe you choose: Always bake puff pastry when in a semi-frozen state to get the most "lift" from the butter. Once the pastry has softened at room temperature, it's a dud. If needed, re-chill the dough/pastry before baking.

Negotiations for a new CBA broke off March 11. The union announced that day it was dissolving itself and no longer represented the players. That allowed players to file a class action antitrust lawsuit in federal court. This year’s super bowl is the Pittsburgh Steelers vs. The Arizona Cardinals. The Cardinals were the number 4 seed all the way through the playoffs and projected underdogs all the way through but with their very good air attack and good core of receivers they made it.

Average Rookie SalariesIt is difficult to gauge the average starting football salary in the NFL because the monster contracts of the top rookie draft selections skew the overall numbers.

Now, that might lead you to lean toward the second part of your question as being the more likely outcome, but Memphis was a very specific situation that year. There was work aplenty to do on offense, and throwing a true freshman quarterback into the mix, regardless of his potential, probably would have stunted his growth. There were going to be a lot of struggles on that team (Memphis ranked 113th nationally in total offense that year), which isn’t the best way to bring along a young quarterback.

In a statement Sunday, Kraft said he was disappointed by the tone of the comments made by the president. Added that there is more divisive than politics and said he supported players to peacefully affect social change and raise awareness in a manner that they feel is most impactful.
It all adds up to a mediocre first half of the season and just the 16th highest per game scoring average among quarterbacks in fantasy. While Wilson’s rushing abilities keep him in the QB1 tier and they came to life around this time last season, he’s beginning to slip from the “must start” ranks. Facing a Cardinals defense that is tied for the NFL lead with 13 interceptions and allows the seventh fewest points (19.1 ppg) in the league, a low scoring affair is expected.

At a rally in Alabama on Friday night, Trump shouted: you love to see one of these NFL owners, when somebody disrespects our flag, to say, that son of a bitch off the field right now. Out! He fired. He fired! You know, some owner is going to do that.

GOLDMAN: And Audie, you know, this isn’t going away. A protest was announced yesterday in front of NFL headquarters for later this MBL Hats month. Filmmaker Spike Lee is taking an active role in that, as are several protest groups. For such a pioneering musician, Bootsy leads the team through a song that makes everyone involved sound clueless and out of touch with “modern music.” It sounds every bit like the aforementioned NFL fight raps of the 80s only with a little more bass and buoyant production. It is possible Bootsy was aiming for irony (after all, it incorporates the ’80s Bengals fan chant “Who Dey?”), but if so, he fully missed the mark. Aside from a numbingly repetitive beat and uninteresting lyrics (y’know.

Celebrated actor Nayanthara is set to grace the screen as a skilled chef in her 75th cinematic venture, titled “Annapoorani – Goddess Of Food.” Directed by Nilesh Krishnaa and produced by Zee Studios, NAAD SStudios, and Trident Arts, the film’s trailer was released on social media, providing a glimpse into Nayanthara’s character and the captivating storyline.
In preparation for her role, Nayanthara underwent training from an experienced culinary expert on set, bringing authenticity to her portrayal of a professional chef. The trailer showcases Nayanthara’s character navigating her love for food and cooking within the backdrop of a traditional Brahmin family residing in an Agraharam.
“It’s time to set those burners on fire. Presenting the Trailer of Lady Superstar #Nayanthara’s #Annapoorani – The Goddess of Food,” the makers announced on social media.

Director Nilesh Krishnaa revealed in a recent interview that “Annapoorani” tells the story of a Brahmin girl aspiring to establish herself as a successful chef. Emphasizing respect for the sentiments of all communities, the film is a thoughtful exploration of culinary passion and family dynamics.
The film reunites Nayanthara and Jai, previously seen together in director Atlee’s 2013 production, “Raja Rani.” Nayanthara played a crucial role in suggesting Jai for the character of Farhaan in “Annapoorani,” according to Krishnaa. The stellar cast also includes Achyuth Kumar, KS Ravikumar, Sathyaraj, and Redin Kingsley.
Supported by a skilled crew, with cinematographer Sathyan Sorryan (known for his work in “Master” and “Sulthan”), composer S. Thaman, and editor Preveen Anthony, “Annapoorani” promises a harmonious blend of talent both on and off the screen.

Homicide/Murder by a Utah Juvenile
Homicide/Murder committed by a juvenile is almost always filed directly in adult District Court if the Utah juvenile is over 16 years of age. If the juvenile is under 16, but over 14 years of age the case will begin in the juvenile court and then move to the adult/District Court.
Homicide/Murder is defined as accidentally, or intentionally causing the death of another human being. Accidental and intentional cause of death can be defined as being the driver of a bank robbery, in which someone dies. Although they never shot anyone or went inside of the bank, a juvenile could be charged with felony murder.
Homicide also includes causing the death of a human being through gross negligence. For instance, a person operating a vehicle while intoxicated may be charged with negligent homicide if they kill someone in an accident. Again, if a minor is older than 16, then the prosecutor can directly file charges against in adult court.

A science fiction-based historical novel, The Imaginary 20th Century is an interactive work with an original sound composition that includes more than 2,000 images culled from different visual archives. The story focuses on the whimsical adventures of a woman who, while traveling through Europe in 1901, selects four men to seduce her, each with a vision of the coming century. The user navigates the suitors' worlds, follows Carrie on her travels, witnesses what she and her admirers notice, and experiences the era, 1893 to 1926. A metajourney of adventures and misadventures across centuries, continents, historical events and places, social memories, imaginary worlds and futures, the project is a "wunder-roman" where fact and fiction split off and return to each other. Available online as an interactive archive and an ebook, this collaborative media work proposes a new approach to narrative.

While much of the focus of this site is on the perks and penalties on offer in England, in this article I'll focus on those that are unique to Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
It’s swings and roundabouts when it comes to tax.
“If you earn up to £24,000 a year, you’ll pay slightly less tax in Scotland than you would in England”, says Sarah Coles, personal finance analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown.
This is because there’s a ‘Starter’ tax band of 19% in Scotland, which sits between your Personal Allowance and the level at which you pay the Basic Rate of 20%.
“It’s not a huge difference, but worth around £2 a month”.
Higher Rate taxpayers in Scotland face a 41% rate, which “kicks in earlier at £43,431”. This compares with a 40% tax rate on income over £46,351 across the rest of the UK.
Read more about the countries around the world that make the most money from tax.
Interest-free loans are available when buying an electric or plug-in hybrid vehicle.
The ‘Electric Vehicle Loan’ is part of a scheme run by the Energy Saving Trust on behalf of the Scottish Government and enables you to get up to £35,000 for a vehicle, (repayable over six years), or £10,000 for a new electric scooter or motorcycle.
Loans are for new vehicles only, and you must apply by 31st March 2019. Find out more at the Energy Saving Trust.
This is in addition to help with the cost of having a ‘Home Charge Point’ installed. This typically costs £1,000 but you can claim £500 from OLEV, (the Office for Low Emission Vehicles), and another £300 from Energy Saving Trust Scotland.
University tuition fees
No tuition fees to pay if you live and study in Scotland which saves up to £9,250 a year compared with universities in England.
You don’t have to be born in Scotland to qualify, just providing you can prove you’ve lived there for at least three years.
But on the flip side, “you’ll start repaying your student loan on annual earnings from £18,330 whereas in England and Wales it’s £25,000”, says Coles.
Wages & house prices
Wages are lower in Wales than across the rest of the UK, according to the Centre for Cities, but your home could be on the up.
The average weekly pre-tax salary across the UK is £539 whereas, in Wales, it’s £505 for Cardiff and £464 for Swansea; that’s nearly £4,000 less per year. But while take-home pay may be less; house prices in Wales have outperformed the average UK price growth over the past year.
Average property prices in Wales stand at £162,089, (compared with a UK average of £232,554), according to HM Land Registry.
But prices in Wales have gone up 5.8% over the past year compared with average annual growth of just 3.5% across the UK.
Find out about the mortgage lesson we can take from the under-25s.
Land Transaction Tax, the equivalent of Stamp Duty kicks in on property prices over £180,000, whereas second-time buyers face a much lower Stamp Duty threshold in England at £125,000.
Buying a £180,000 property in Wales would mean no tax to pay, but the same property in England would incur £1,100 in Stamp Duty according to the Money Advice Service.
Flight tickets can cost around 30% more if you fly from Wales, with prices from either Heathrow or Gatwick usually always cheaper according to travelsupermarket.com.
It calculated an ‘average’ airfare, based on five popular destinations, (New York, Tenerife, Dubai, Barcelona and Malaga), and found flying from Cardiff typically costs £312 return, compared with £284 from Glasgow or £206 from Gatwick.
But on the plus side, smaller airports can mean cheaper facilities as you’ll pay nearly half the price for airport parking at Cardiff compared with Gatwick where two weeks parking in April costs £59.99 compared with £105.99.
Unemployment stands at 3.4%, which is lower than the UK average of 4%, according to the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency.
And Northern Ireland is the ’happiest’ place to live according to the results of a combined survey from online mortgage broker Habito and the Sunday Times.
Jobs, schools and broadband speed along with culture, community spirit and local shopping facilities were all taken into account and five places in Northern Ireland ranked among the best places to live in the UK.
These include Ballyhackamore in Belfast, Holywood, Newcastle, Portrush and Strangford.
Housing is cheaper in Northern Ireland than many other areas of the UK with average prices of £155,050 according to the Built Environment Research Institute at Ulster University.
But while house price growth is generally at its slowest for nearly six years, according to Nationwide, Northern Ireland has seen prices rises of 5.8% over the past year, compared with a UK average of 3.5%.
University tuition fees
Students from Northern Ireland who are studying there pay up to £4,160 a year in tuition fees, less than half the annual tuition fees set by some universities in England.
But when it comes to repaying student loans, the earnings threshold in Northern Ireland is £18,300; that’s £6,700 less than the existing £25,000 threshold for students in England.


Gimme Shelter by The Rolling Stones
Get Gimme Shelter now from
this song was
not supposedto be on this list they are better songs than this one.
Review posted by: sammie
Sir Mick, as
he now is, and 'the boys', are at their "crank up the volume" best with this powerful song from Let It Bleed.
When the Stones invite a female singer with a strong resonant voice to accompany them, the song, if possible, gets
even better. One of the best Stones songs to exercise to---my time on the elliptical is off the charts when
this is on my iPod. Doesn't do my ears any good, tho.

Editing: Magical Mystery Tour
The Beatles began editing the Magical Mystery Tour television film on this day. They had thought it would be completed in a week, but it took a total of 11.
The editing was done by Roy Benson at Norman's Film Productions on Old Compton Street in London's Soho. Paul McCartney was there for the entire 11 weeks, occasionally joined by other members of the group. The unclear hierarchy within The Beatles at the time slowed down work considerably, as others would order scenes to be recut.
Roy Benson had previously worked as an editor on A Hard Day's Night.
He and I got our heads together and I said, 'Well, look, we've shot all this, and we've got clapper boards on some of it.' He said, 'Not on everything?' I said, 'No, no. No, some of it we just shot, but I'm sure it synchs.'
Many Years From Now, Barry Miles
These edit sessions typically lasted from 10am to 6pm each day, after which The Beatles often went to Abbey Road for a recording or mixing session. Approximately 10 hours of film was cut down to just 52 minutes, resulting in a large amount of unused footage.
Some additional audio recording was also done at Norman's Film Productions, including occasional narration by John Lennon.

Objectives: The purpose of this qualitative study was to examine relationships between psychological factors, particularly perceived control, and voice symptoms in adults seeking treatment for a voice problem. Methods: Semistructured interviews of adult patients with a clinical diagnosis of muscle tension dysphonia were conducted and transcribed. Follow-up interviews were conducted as needed for further information or clarification. A multidisciplinary team analyzed interview content using inductive techniques. Common themes and subthemes were identified. A conceptual model was developed describing the association between voice symptoms, psychological factors, precipitants of ongoing voice symptoms, and perceived control. Results: Thematic saturation was reached after 23 interviews. No participants reported a direct psychological cause for their voice problem, although half described significant life events preceding voice problem onset (eg, miscarriage and other health events, interpersonal conflicts, and family members' illnesses, injuries, and deaths). Participants described psychological influences on voice symptoms that led to rapid exacerbation of their voice symptoms. Participants described the helpfulness of speech therapy and sometimes also challenges of applying techniques in daily life. They also discussed personal coping strategies that included behavioral (eg, avoiding triggers and seeking social support) and psychological (eg, mind-body awareness and emotion regulation) components. Voice-related perceived control was associated with adaptive emotional and behavioral responses, which appeared to facilitate symptom improvement. Conclusions: In this qualitative pilot study, participant narratives suggested that psychological factors and emotions influence voice symptoms, facilitating development of a preliminary conceptual model of how adaptive and maladaptive responses develop and how they influence vocal function.

The first round of talks between the new Iranian government of President Hassan Rouhani, and the six nations of the US, UK, France, Germany, Russia, and China, are coming to a head. It is expected that by the end of Wednesday Mohammad Javad Zarif, the Iranian Foreign Minister, and Catherine Ashton, the EU foreign policy chief acting as convenor for the six nations, will release a joint statement of progress and announce the next session of talks to be held within a couple of weeks.
On Tuesday, Zarif gave a presentation laying out a roadmap to guide the two parties out of the growing conflict over Iran’s nuclear program. It now remains to be seen whether or not the six nations can create a fair response that Iran would be willing to discuss.
EU Foreign Policy Chief Catherine Ashton and Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif at the latest round of talks. (NY Times)
The exact details of Iran’s proposal are being kept secret, but Abbas Araqchi, the deputy to Zarif, explained that the map consists of three stages. The first stage would involve a deal to build initial confidence by placing unspecified limits on Iranian uranium enrichment in return for relief from sanctions.
Stage two would build on the growing trust between the two parties, although it is not explained how; and stage three would lead to a new relationship of understanding between Iran and the rest of the world, in which Iran will still be allowed to enrich uranium without incurring sanctions, by following agreed limits, giving it rights to run a complete nuclear program.
Araqchi said that one of the limits that they would be willing to abide by in the third phase would be an agreement for more intrusive inspections by the UN’s International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). Currently Iran only allows the IAEA to inspect certain facilities that it has agreed to, but under the new proposal the IAEA would be given a free reign to inspect anywhere they fancied.
Iran hopes that by making the first move and suggesting a plan to begin restricting its nuclear program, the six nations will be more willing to reply with an end state solution that would see all sanctions lifted. Then the negotiations can really begin.
Related article: Syria, the Next Phase
Iran has said that as part of stage one it will completely halt all production of medium enriched (20%) uranium, as long as the US and EU relax their sanctions. One possibility is that Iranian assets, worth some $50 billion, might be unfrozen. The assets would be vital to help Rouhani build confidence that he has a solution to ending the sanctions, and help him continue with reforms that are attempting to ease economic problems.
The Guardian believes that Obama is likely to agree to this proposal as finding a peaceful solution to the conflict in Iran would give him power and support at a time when he seems to be lacking in both. The problem is that Obama’s administration is hampered by Congress, which has restated that the sanctions will only be lifted if all uranium enrichment is halted permanently.
