[HanCinema's News] Han So-hee Talks About Recent Career Boost
By William Schwartz | Published on
Han So-hgee's Instagram
While Han So-hee has only started to get widespread attention thanks to her work on "The World of the Married" the actress has had a remarkably varied career to date in the South Korean entertainment industry. She started working as a model in CJ Group in 2016 under the name Lee So Hee, only changing her name to Han So-hee when she wanted to transition into acting. Han So-hee also worked in music videos, gaining a small fandom, which she remembers fondly.
According to Han So-hee her decision to work as a model was formed hastily, with the idea of showing off her body. It was only over time that it occurred to Han So-hee that she could do more. It was only through diligent planning and worry that she persevered long enough to find chances to act, which were often sparse. Working in advertisements was what ultimately did the most in improving Han So-hee's profile, as she developed a reputation as being more than just a pretty face.
Minor roles in "Reunited Worlds" and "Money Flower" gave Han So-hee the start she needed and after only five drama credits Han So-hee was able to obtain the second female lead role in "The World of the Married". Han So-hee herself has expressed shock at the speed with which her career has moved. However, Han So-hee has also expressed some humility, believing much of the attention drawn to her is the consequence of "The World of the Married" being well-received as a whole project.
Han So-hee has described her character in "The World of the Married", Da-kyeong, as being the most emotionally honest person in the cast. But what makes the character noteworthy is her contrast with the character played by Park Hae-joon, a married man having an affair who is very much poorly matched with Da-kyeong. Han So-hee considers the latent unpredictability of the scenario to be what has allowed for her to express strong character growth as well as chemistry with her co-stars.
Though Han So-hee's character on "The World of the Married" is similar to the one she played on "100 Days My Prince" the actress denies that either is influenced much by her real life personality. Han So-hee claims to be a logical person- which is consistent with her deliberate, if expectation-exceeding, career trajectory to date. "The World of the Married" airs on Friday and Saturday night on jTBC.

Virtual Reality center coming to Midland Mall
Local owners excited to share experience with community
A new gaming center, You4ia Virtual Reality, is coming to the Midland Mall, bringing visitors the opportunity to play virtual reality games.
Virtual reality, known as VR, is a simulated gaming experience that places gamers in life-like scenarios using simulated sights and sounds. Headsets, like goggles, are often used to provide realistic, 360-degree views of simulated environments.
"It's something newer and it's very cool; it's very immersive," said Coleman McCarthy, co-owner of You4ia. "If somebody hasn't experienced it before, it's going to be completely different for them."
McCarthy and Jacob Lewis, business partners and friends since high school, are bringing a VR gaming center to the Midland Mall, catering to people of all ages. The business duo has lived in Midland most their lives, and said they are excited to share this experience with the community.
"When I envision us opening, honestly the thing that I am really, really excited for, aside from the business, is being in there, seeing people in there just experiencing it and having fun," Lewis said. "It's going to be super cool, and just to see people that haven't experienced it before, see something new and we're offering it to them-- it's going to be super fulfilling."
Using top-of-the-line equipment and gaming computers, McCarthy said they will cater mostly to gamers who want extended play, as opposed to quick games. However, he said they plan to have a flat rate for people who just want to give VR a quick try.
When a customer comes into the shop, which is the where the former Monster Lounge was located, they will be able to browse a game catalog, and if all the booths are full, they can reserve a time slot to play. McCarthy and Lewis said certain games can also be synched up so players in separate booths can play the same game together. This will lend itself to birthday parties and other event groups who come in together.
The space will have four booths to start, each with their own gaming set. The booths will have curtains to allow for privacy, although they can be opened to allow friends and visitors to see the player in action. Each booth will have a chair as well, for the option of sitting or standing.
However, just like at the movies, games will be screened for their appropriateness and gamers under 18 years old will need a parent's permission to play certain games, including more violent shooting games.
In addition, Lewis said they were intentional in looking for empty space at the Midland Mall because they wanted to help keep it going and add to what the market there has to offer.
McCarthy and Lewis said they have been renovating the space but have a lot of technical computer work that still needs to be done before they announce soft open dates. They said they've set the goal of March 1 for the grand opening.
"We're doing all this with our blood, sweat and tears - in there late nights, sometimes until (1 a.m.) just trying to get it going," McCarthy said. "And we're hitting to the point where most of the remodeling is done, but now it comes to all the technological things ... that's probably going to be the hardest part - working out all the bugs."

China's burgeoning rental car market
Updated: 2010-12-04 16:27
HANGZHOU -- As foreign investment floods into China's burgeoning car rental market, the sector is facing a possible reshuffle due to increased competition.
On Nov 18, Mitsubishi Corporation of Japan signed an agreement to pump in $20 million to set up a joint venture with Zhejiang-based Cheeyo Car Rental.
The deal demonstrates the confidence Mitsubishi Corporation has in China's car rental market.
"China's rental car market is growing fast and has great potential for further expansion," said Naomichi Komuro, chairman and president of MC Capital Asia Ltd (MCCA), Mitsubishi Corporation's private equity investment arm in Asia.
"The entry of foreign investors will intensify competition and cause a reshuffle in the car rental market," said Komuro.
Cheeyo Car Rental is not the only Chinese company getting a boost from foreign investment.
A consortium led by Goldman Sachs Group Inc invested $70 million in Shanghai-based eHi Car Rental at the end of August.
The company plans to expand its service network within one year to cover about 100 cities in the country and have more than 10,000 cars to rent out.
The result of the increased foreign investment is changing rental car market in China. It is entering a new era, said Zhang Xiaolin, board chairman of Cheeyo Car Rental.
Zhang said some small rental car firms will inevitably be merged or realigned, while the others would be edged out of the market.
Opportunities VS risks
Car renting, scarcely seen a decade ago, is gaining more popularity and prevalence nowadays in China's big cities.
When Beijing traveller Zhang Daping and his family arrived at Xiaoshan airport in Hangzhou, capital of east China's Zhejiang Province, a brand new Buick LaCrosse sedan was there waiting for them.
Zhang booked the car online three days earlier from a local rental car agency.
"We are here on a self drive tour," Zhang told Xinhua. "With this car, it's more convenient for us to travel around than taking buses or taxies."
According to a forecast by Roland Berger Strategy Consultants, 400,000 more rental cars will be needed in China by 2014 to satisfy consumer demand, with potential operation turnover totalling 38 billion yuan ($5.7 billion).
China's car rental business took off in the early 1990s with state-owned firms providing rental services mainly to companies instead of individual users.
Currently, the sector is made up of a mixture of homegrown and foreign players. Foreign rental car giants like Avis and Hertz are doing business in the country.
Homegrown firms are usually small in scale, with 80 percent of them having no more than 50 cars.
Legend Holdings, parent company of China's leading personal computer maker Lenovo Group, announced on September 15 that it had acquired more than a 50 percent stake in China Auto Rental, the country's leading car rental service provider.
The deal cost Legend Holdings 1.2 billion yuan.
Beijing-based China Auto Rental, founded in 2007, has more than 300 service spots in 41 cities around the country with about 6,000 cars in service.
Yet, China's rental car market is still in its early stages, characterized by low-level management, said Li Daokui, director of the Center for China in the World Economy (CCWE) at Tsinghua University.
Besides, legal loopholes pose risks for the new sector.
"Incompletion of related laws and regulations is deterring the development of the rental car business in China," said Yang Gaobo, a lawyer with Zhejiang-based Zehou Law Firm, citing fraud cases in Beijing and Shanghai in recent years as an example.
"The laws are lagging behind the fast-growing rental car business to provide effective protection," said Yang.

Blacks are less likely than whites to receive lung cancer treatments
Research Activities, October 2009
When it comes to treating nonsmall cell lung cancer, a new study finds a significant gap in the treatment of blacks and whites. Compared with whites, blacks are less likely to receive surgery and chemotherapy. Researchers at the University of Texas in Houston analyzed 83,101 Medicare patients aged 65 and older, who were diagnosed with stages I to IV nonsmall cell lung cancer between 1991 and 2002. About 90 percent of patients were white and 10 percent were black. The researchers placed the patients into one of two groups: early disease (stages I and II) and late disease (stages III and IV). They then looked at who received surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy.
In the early disease group, blacks were 37 percent less likely to receive surgery compared with whites. They were also 42 percent less likely to undergo chemotherapy for their cancer. This disparity was even greater for late disease patients. Blacks in this group were 57 percent less likely to receive chemotherapy compared with whites. Patient characteristics associated with greater treatment disparities included being older, female, and having a lower socioeconomic status.
The researchers offer several explanations for why such disparities still exist. Black patients are less likely to have their cancer appropriately staged and to be recommended for surgery. Even when surgery is indicated, blacks are more likely than whites to refuse it, possibly because the myth that tumors spread when exposed to air remains common in the black community. Other factors include blacks' limited access to health care, reluctance to seek medical attention, treatment at county hospitals, reliance on prayer and spirituality, and a fatalistic attitude toward cancer. The study was supported in part by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (HS16743).
See "Racial disparities and treatment trends in a large cohort of elderly black and white patients with nonsmall cell lung cancer," by Dale Hardy, Ph.D., Chih-Chin Liu, M.S., Rui Xia, M.S., and others, in the May 15, 2009 issue of Cancer 115, pp. 2199-2211.

Whilst at the Toy Fair earlier this year I spotted another advent calendar that would be available this Christmas. So not only did I know in January that I wanted to open the Playmobil Christmas Ball Advent Calendar for you all. I also discovered that Aquabeads would have their very own advent calendar! What is also lovely is that we have been sent the Aquabeads Advent Calendar to unbox and review for you all.

A sprayer and layout trays are also included so you can create and enjoy this advent calendar even if it is your first time using Aquabeads.
Please Note: Aquabeads are not suitable for children under 4 years. They must also be created under adult supervision.
What Will You Find Inside?
I have listed the advent calendar’s contents below with photos. In total there are 24 doors to open. If you want to keep the contents a surprise don’t read anymore!

My Thoughts On The Aquabeads Advent Calendar
This is the first time I have ever created anything with Aquabeads. I helped my little lady make the first items before she had to leave me. We didn’t place the templates under the layout trays, as instructed, as we found this made the designs hard to see. We could easily create the designs with the templates at the side.
Little E needed help with direction but I think she really enjoyed building Aquabead designs. I actually found this activity really relaxing too.
We made all of our designs in one sitting but it is recommended that you let the Aquabeads set for at least 60 minutes. This should be easy to do as you open one door of the advent calendar each day. I think if you have someone creative in your family this would be the perfect advent calendar for them.
DISCLOSURE – We received the Aquabeads Advent Calendar as a gift. This was for the purposes of this post and to create our YouTube video. We always give our honest opinions, findings, beliefs, and experiences of the products we receive.

Yongan bike to give up | 'share the first share of the car' | laurel
March 24, 2017, Changzhou Yongan Public Bicycle System Co., Ltd. once again submitted a "prospectus", compared with June 18, 2015 reported an increase of nearly 40% of the space.
For Yongan bike, the two most important event between the submission is the 'shared bike' and the rise of their own 'wet body'.
Public bicycles are 'public goods'
Within three kilometers of short trips, there is no means of transport can be comparable with the bike.But in today's city, riding a bike has two inconvenience: one is often travel distance more than ten kilometers need to take other means of transport and inconvenient to carry bicycles; After reaching the destination, the bike becomes cumbersome (mainly afraid of losing).
Bicycle rental can be a good solution to the 'pain point', Yang long, to avoid its short, effectively compensate for the lack of public transport system, but the user's pain point resolved, the business is 'pain': the lease is heavy assets, heavy business , The user riding a two-kilometer bike is willing to pay the cost is very few (preferably free). 'Heavy assets + heavy operation + ultra-low unit price', this 'business'
'Social benefits are good, poor economic efficiency' is an important feature of 'public good' (public education), such as compulsory education, environmental greening, public transport, etc. Enterprises are not charitable organizations, providing public goods is the basic functions of the government. : Can make money thing business rush, lose money can only find the government, so there is a public bike.
So far, the mainstream model of bicycle rental at home and abroad is the government (or the difference between the institutions) to the commercial enterprises to buy equipment, facilities and services. Representatives of the city of Amsterdam, Copenhagen, London, Paris, Berlin, Melbourne, Seoul, Tokyo and so on.
In addition to justice, defense and other areas, the government usually through the 'purchase' way to provide public services: business services for the public, the Government paid to the enterprise.
The benefits of the government can be reduced by the government to improve the efficiency of the use of financial funds to improve the quality and quantity of public goods supply to meet the needs of the public diversification (Note: government procurement of public services is part of government procurement, compliance with the "People's Republic of China Government Procurement Law "The relevant provisions).
Public bicycles are the main responsibility of the local government, Yongan bike is China's largest supplier.
Yongan bike was founded in August 2010, has developed a 'sweeping car rental system', 'mobile phone smart car rental system', 'multi-city Internet rental system'.
As of the end of 2016, Yongan bike has become more than 210 city government suppliers (2014, 2015, respectively, 120 and 165), built a rental site 32,000, 'lock car' total 89 million, the end of the year registration Members of 7.5 million (Yonganxing platform members), the annual total of 750 million people riding (per person per year more than 100 times).
In the new era of government to buy public services, by the financial contribution, the total income of enterprises at the end of the business income, the government has appointed the government, The
In addition to public bicycles, the three major intermediaries (second-hand housing intermediary, referral, dating) and the interests of the residents, the government's public welfare (1 hour free ride) at the same time to support the private enterprises. Closely related, may wish to learn from. Because the real estate, real recruitment and marital status in the relevant departments are case to check the government to the Internet business to pay the latter to the authority of information-based, to provide quality services to the public.
'B2G' is very nourishing
Yongan bike main B2G (Business to government) business, there are two specific models:
'Public bicycle system sales' mode: Yongan bike is responsible for the design, production, installation and commissioning of the system after the delivery of the system, Yongan bike take the money to leave, do not participate in the follow-up operation and management. Representatives of the city of Nanjing, Shaoxing, Yueyang and so on.
'Public Bicycle System Operation Service' mode (PPP mode): Yongan bicycles continue to provide operations, management services, duration and system life (usually 5 years) after the completion of the system, which means 'lifelong service'.
The first model, the project cycle is short, the follow-up risk is low, high gross margin, do not need to set up local sub / subsidiary, in general, relatively 'light'; the second model of the high amount of contracts, customer sticky strong, follow-up expansion Business opportunities and more.
Public bicycle operation and management have a certain degree of professionalism, by the builder is responsible for the benefits of operation and management Needless to say, the local government also tend to 'no guest bother', so the second model is gradually becoming mainstream.
As of the end of 2016, nearly 100 of the 210 cities in Yongan's bike took 'operational service mode', representing Suzhou, Nantong, Weifang, Fuyang, lions and so on. Yongan set up more than 90 points / Operation and Management in Operations Service Mode.
2012, 2013, the first model (system sales model) lead; the second model in 2014 (system operating mode) overtake; by 2016, the second model accounted for 69% of revenue.
Yongan bike 'B2G' is very moist, although the revenue, profit scale is small, but the development is quite stable: 2016 net profit of 117 million, an increase of 732% over 2012, the average annual compound growth rate of 169.8%; business activities Net cash inflows stabilized at $ 200 million; net profit margin declined compared to 2014, and the second model revenue ratio increased.
2014, 2015, 2016, Yongan new system operating contract amount were 900 million, 670 million and 840 million. Has been signed in the operation contract, in 2017 will give Yongan 600 million yuan revenue (all related contracts The implementation of the completion of Wing On total revenue of about 3 billion).
Give up 'share the first share of the car' laurel
Public bicycle 'public product' attribute, which means that the market operation is difficult to achieve balance of payments, industry development is highly dependent on government investment, and the photovoltaic industry is very similar.
'Burn war', 'O2O subsidized war' burned tens of billions of dollars, burn out two market value of more than 10 billion dollars of the 'super unicorn'. "So, 'wool out of the dog pig money' routines were introduced Public bicycle field. Too, moabai as the representative of the non-pile rental services in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Chengdu and other second-tier cities for the rapid rise of three reasons:
First, the capital's profit motive is much stronger than the government's motivation to expand the public bicycle budget.When the public bike in August 2008 in Hangzhou since the birth of the local government's total investment is probably less than a year withino, the worship of the amount of financing The
Second, no pile mode to expand the low cost, speed not only eliminates the need to build parking equipment and time, but also from municipal planning (especially land) and supporting facilities (such as power supply) of the fetters. As long as the funds keep up To the street 'lost' it wants.
Third, the acquisition speed, low cost, spend hundreds of dollars to buy a car lost to the street about to attract five registered users, each user also pay 99 yuan to 299 yuan 'deposit'.
In the second half of 2016, Yongan bike began to explore the 2C 'no-pile sharing cycle mode', in Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu, Kunming, Changsha, Wuchang, Fuzhou, Guiyang and other cities have put 50,000 trucks without bricks.
March 1, 2017, ants gold service, deep venture capital and other eight institutions and Wing On Bank signed an investment agreement, the new funds will be used to expand the shared bicycle business.
Operation of the 'easy delivery' of the three Thai holdings, with 'solve the last 100 meters of electricity business concept of the market value was as high as 50 billion.' Involved in the 'shared bicycle' Yongan, with 'shared bicycle first shares' concept, the market value soared to hundreds There is no suspense.
April 6, 2017, Yongan bike IPO by the Commission issued by the Board of Directors issued the 48th meeting in 2017 audit approval.
The first IPO, the market value of tens of billions, Ali concept ... ... many people think that Wing will be in the capital of the strong push to rewrite the shared bike pattern.
But on the eve of the IPO, Yongan suddenly announced the termination of financing, temporarily withdraw from the shared bicycle 'fast lane'.
Prospectus revealed 'secret'
Yongan to give up the 'share of the first batch of shares' laurel is out of frustration, the new version of "prospectus" revealed some clues.
The first income is low.As of the end of 2016, Yongan put a total of 50,000 'shared bicycle', while the rental income of only 368,300 yuan, equivalent to 0.05% of total revenue. "Prospectus" shows 'shared bicycle' book fixed assets The original value of 6.987 million yuan, even if the car can hold for two years, can return to this question, let alone profits.
Tiger in the March 20 article "to share the bike count account" in the assumption that 'cycling monthly income of 100 yuan', now seems too optimistic. Yongan even put only 10,000, the monthly income of 100 yuan, then 1 Month of rental income can reach 100 million. Seeive of the performance ofo after entering Beijing, the basic monthly income of the bike is zero!
Followed by high operating costs. According to the "prospectus" disclosure, 'inspection schedule' content includes: inspection, car; according to location information, the 'ride scattered' vehicles together; according to large data projections, the vehicle To hotspot area.
In 2016, Yongan 'system operation services' operating cost of 393 million. At the beginning of the 'lock car' number of 630,000, the end of the 89 million, the average period of 760,000.
Assuming 50 million of Wing On operations, each lock car corresponds to a public bike, the average annual operating cost per public bike is 786 yuan.
The operation of a pile of public bicycles less full of the world to find the car, to sum up the trouble and less damage to the vehicle, maintenance costs are low, but more on the rental site equipment maintenance, may wish to assume that the two models operating costs are similar.
500 yuan per year, 50,000 sharing bicycles six months of operating costs as high as 12.5 million yuan, while the rental income is only negligible tens of thousands of dollars.
A shares of the company certainly can not be so burned, the concept of important, to maintain the listing status is more important, so Yongan had to give up 'share the first row of shares' laurel slightly.

[www.inewsguyana.com] – The Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport presented cheques amounting to $8.125M to 89 African cultural groups to assist them to effectively carry out their various activities for Emancipation celebrations to be observed on August 1.
Since 2005 Government has been supporting Emancipation activities, starting with just three groups, and has been encouraging persons from various backgrounds to become involved in preserving their cultural activities. Emancipation day is marked as an important day, not only in the Guyanese calendar, but also the global perspective.
The inhumane system of slavery was abolished on August 1, 1834 in all British colonies including British Guiana- now Guyana. It brought an end to the atrocious system of slavery which for centuries had brought pain, suffering and bitterness.
Minister of Culture, Youth and Sport Dr. Frank pointed out that as Guyanese celebrate another Emancipation anniversary that they reflect on the country’s history.
He reminded the audience that the village of Buxton on the East Coast of Demerara was named after Thomas Buxton, who had advocated the Emancipation Acts of 1833 in the British House of Commons. “When we think about sacrifice, when we think about what people had to endure, the conditions under which they were living, I think that it is important that we read some of the documents of that time,” Minister Anthony urged.
“When we talk about slavery as a people we must understand the horrific system it was,” he stated.
The Museum of African Heritage has also been archiving documents and artifacts of the country’s history which will be showcased to other countries whose people were also victims of slavery.

Whom to trust? This question keeps popping up in the majority of people’s mind. Some people get betrayed so many times that they lead a full-time life of suspicion. When someone offers you a bite in a journey, you doubt, maybe there is something in the food that could make me unconscious. The uncertainty generates because we have heard in media that such cases of cheating leading to looting keep happening. Such incidents produce and promote suspicion slowly. That is why we start to disbelieve those near us. In turn, they also start having a suspicion or a shadow of the doubt in us.
This suspicion trickles down between the man and his Creator, the God. In an adverse situation, even the Followers start questioning and doubting the Almighty,
In reality, the trait of trust and mistrust has much to do with self. If one does not believe in himself; he will not in general trust the other. If you think deeply, distrust is the reflection of the trust. Distrust is the contrary thinking.
Therefore, one should spend one’s whole energy in believing in oneself. That way you will start to think that no one will betray me, and I will not betray anyone. I think that whatever I do, it will be the right way. Whatsoever is the result, my efforts will be on the basis of truth. If you are steady in this up-righteous belief then, the vicious circle of trust – and mistrust will not affect you. Your actions will have a salutary result.

How to Take a Stand During National Human Trafficking Prevention Month
Imagine meeting someone you thought would change your life for the better. Someone you thought would love and protect you. Imagine the excitement and joy you feel as this new relationship quickly develops, and you feel yourself falling in love.
Now imagine that this person you thought loved you starts forcing you to do unthinkable things with strangers over and over every single day. When you push back, they get violent or start making threats. When you think about getting help you remember their words, “I’m the only one who will love you now, you are just a prostitute.” You realize that though you have seen a lot of cash flowing, you are not in control of it or anything else anymore.
This is Sex Trafficking.
January is National Human Trafficking Prevention Month. A time to acknowledge the reality for victims of this horrific crime and honor the resilience of those that have survived it.
This month is also a time to learn more about how this crime happens and how each of us can play a critical role in disrupting and preventing trafficking here in our communities.
5 Key Facts about Sex Trafficking
1. According to the Department of Homeland Security, sex trafficking is the use of force, fraud or coercion to obtain some type of commercial sex act . However, if the victim is a minor force, fraud or coercion do not need to be proven.
2. This crime can be tricky to prove so understanding what qualifies as force, fraud or coercion can be helpful.
- Force – violence, threats, using fear as a means of control.
- Fraud – promises that are never followed through on. These promises might be of love or of a job.
- Coercion – threats, pressure or shame. This may look like a threat to send an explicit photo to friends, classmates or family if the victim does not do what they are being told to do. The potential shame associated with that photo being sent can feel worse than the shame of doing what you are being told because no one has to know about it.
3. The average age of entry into the sex trade is 15 years old for females, it is believed to be younger for males . The teenage girl is often vulnerable, easily manipulated and seeking things like love, understanding and acceptance. These factors combined with a brain that is not fully developed to make logical decisions yet makes her a good target.
4. Child sex trafficking has been reported in all 50 states . It has been reported in big cities and rural communities. No town is safe from this type of crime existing within its city limits.
5. If you suspect trafficking contact local law enforcement. If you need to be connected to resources for trafficking victims anywhere in the United States, contact the National Human Trafficking Hotline (888.373.7888).
3 Keys Ways to Get Involved
1. Join Guardian Group’s PURSUIT® team as a Project 1591® volunteer. Project 1591 is the first-ever 24/7 crowdsourcing process and platform that enables volunteers to become force multipliers to Guardian Group’s mission of illuminating child victims of sex trafficking in the United States. Learn more about what it takes to volunteer.
2. Support Guardian Group’s efforts financially. Financial support is a necessary element as we work to scale to match this rapidly growing crime. Together we will make a lasting impact. Learn more about ways to give both cash and non-cash options.
3. Sex Trafficking is a topic that no one likes to talk about because it is tragic and uncomfortable. However, it will not be stopped until we get over our discomfort and start talking about it. During the month of January, share this information with those you love. Start the conversations.
Every victim currently being victimized in this manner and every survivor working to thrive again deserve our best. We will not stop working until all are free.

My grandkids, 7 and 11, love Disney and couldn't wait to see this movie. It's a fun movie for any age group; it was especially nice to share this with the grandkids. The digital scenes were quite amazing; beautiful songs and a message for siblings - love one another. So many times Disney movies are girl meets handsome prince and they live happily ever after or true love's kiss makes all things better. Merida was an independent, brave girl; Elsa and Anna are characters you will feel sympathy for because of their separation due to Elsa's powers. Anna's "spunk" saves the day and they save each other. I love the message in this movie.
Written November 30, 2013
I knew the movie was from Disney but did not know the origins of the story, but it was still a destination for my two kids (ages nine and six), so I was pleasantly surprised by the plot, the animation, and the music. It was great for them and me. The animation was awesome as usual, but even better than I would have assumed.
Written August 25, 2016
I didn't expect to like Frozen as much as I did! Such a treat especially to the eyes with the gorgeous animation. If you have the option to see the movie in 3D, choose 3D! The 3D effects are so well done - and be sure to get to the theater on time to catch the terrific Mickey and Minnie cartoon short that precedes the film. When you see the short, you'll be so glad you choose 3D.
Finally, stay until the credits are over for a cute final scene!
Written July 31, 2016
When you are singing "do you wanna build a snowman" all day long and you're still not tired of it, you know this movie has made an impact.
Where our culture now seems so "me" focused, it's nice to be reminded through this story the importance of loving and caring for others. Excellent for all ages.
Story, music, animation, humor; all exceptional.

Financial documents show that the Kentucky Retirement Systems dramatically underperformed last year, when compared to its cousin, the Kentucky Teachers Retirement System.
Last year, the Kentucky Retirement Systems' investment portfolio brought in about one billion dollars less than the Kentucky Teachers Retirement System.
According to Chris Tobe, a former trustee to the Kentucky Retirement Systems turned whistleblower, that means Kentucky is home to one of the best-performing public pensions, and, in the case of KRS, one of the worst.
“It really kind of tells you all the things wrong with the pension plan as far as administration. And all the right things to do,” said Tobe.
Moreover, last year the KRS underperformed the average public pension's investment plan by about $500 million.
Tobe says last year was such a bad year for the pension that KRS’ portfolio must outperform its projections for the next five years to make up for the hit.

I loved the design and the gold color on the creme stock card. Although there was other color options when ordering, I kept the gold as I thought it was very classy and appropriate for our venue. I had a couple of designer requests made to the invite so I was anxious to see how it would finally look in person. It came out awesome! I had requested the grooms parents names be written under his and that "black tie optional" be added to the bottom right. My fiance and I are so very happy with the way they came out and I cannot wait to send them out to all my guests. We also had the return addresses printed on all the envelopes as well as a matching gold liner added to the envelopes."

Portugal's Well-Kept SecretSee our full list of Where to Go in 2015.
“The area around Comporta, south of Lisbon, is a well-kept secret," explains Claus Sendlinger, founder and CEO of Design Hotels, "but with several development projects coming soon, it is well worth a visit while it is still quiet.” One of the best places to experience this exquisite calm is at The Cabanas no Rio, two old fisherman huts that have been recovered and furnished for an extremely unique lodging situation. "It's an amazing concept that I really like," says Sendlinger. "Two very rustic huts, with stunning views of the river Sado stretching out all around." Stay in one of the private huts—spots so lovely, even locals rent them out—for the most authentic experience. And make sure to take advantage of the complimentary kayak that's perched at the dock, ready for you to explore the river's banks.

I’m proud to say that I ran three out of the four mornings I was in Florida.
The sweat was REAL, y’all. Each morning, I tried to run by 8am, knowing that would probably still not be early enough, but that it was as early as I was ready to concede on vacation.
Thursday and Friday went great â€” I had a speed workout on my plan for Thursday, and while my paces were all over the map, I got the miles in. Friday, I just had 4 miles on deck, and it was fine. I found this pretty park (Delnor-Wiggins, if you’re in the Naples area) and zoned out listening to Jillian Michaels’ podcast.
Saturday…Saturday. I’d had a call on Friday with Regan, our NYJL fundraising director (of awesomeness) about fundraising strategies for the marathon, and I was so psyched for my first long run.
I got out there around 7:45…and it was hell from the first few steps. 85 degrees, 85 percent humidity, no cover from the sun. I fought and I fought and I fought for 3 miles, and I couldn’t get my pace (which should have been around a 9:30ish or faster) below an 11:00 mile.
Every single marathon training season, I’ve started out shaky and picked up steam when I realized it was do or die time. This time, I’d resolved not to do that and start out strong. IÂ tried to pull out all my mantras and tricks and convince myself running through this would make me physically and mentally tougher, but I just wasn’t having it. I ended up walking back to the hotel another 2 miles, semi-defeated.
I wasn’t going to let it ruin my day, so I emailed JessÂ and told her what had happened, and that I would try again on Tuesday morning. Thankfully, it’s “only” 8 miles, so I know I can realistically do that before work.
It was frustrating, and I was frustrated with myself, but I’m going to choose to look at it as a revision, instead of a setback, and move onwards and upwards (and earlier, and earlier.) I just checked out the weather for Shelter Island this weekend, and it’ll only be a high of 80. WHEW.
Newfound respect for Florida runners!

At Joelson, we recognise the importance of helping others and putting something back into the community and the importance of creating a fair and equal, internal working environment and ensuring that our business operates ethically.
We are proud that our firmwide charity we have chosen to support in 2020 is The Brain Tumour Charity. Every year we also offer work experience mentoring placements to a local school. A key aim of ours is to further reduce our negative impact on the environment by reducing our carbon footprint.
Ensuring our employees feel engaged through working in a diverse and inclusive workplace is of the utmost importance. We are proud that we have as many women as men working here at Joelson.
With lockdown restrictions easing slightly, many employers are now planning for the future and assessing how employees can return to work safely. Below are some key points that must be considered by businesses.
The Chancellor has provided some much welcomed relief to both employees and workers by extending the current government furlough scheme to October 2020.
In order to provide a support package to assist early stage companies who are being severely impacted by the current COVID-19 crisis, the Government has partnered with the British Business Bank and announced a support package known as the Future Fund.


After reading TMF’s pitch for TDOC (linked below), I was going to title this post “The Questionable Ethics of Talking One’s Book”. Instead, I’m going to cut to the chase.
TMF loves to pitch “small and mid-cap growth stocks” that supposedly have “explosive growth” but nearly invariably end up losing their buyers money, as post after post from their subscribers to Stock Adviser attest. The reports from those subscribers often go like this. “On advice of TMF, I bought such and such. Now I’m losing money. What should I do?” Or else the buyers of those losing stocks ask a question, “What you do think of such and such?” Invariably, they are told to “sit tight” and “hold for 3-5 years”.
Have you ever wondered where that 3-5 year holding-period comes from? Come on, think about it. If the company whose stock TMF is pitching is currently unprofitable and is NOT forecast by its industry analysts to become profitable over the next three years, then --of course-- if the stock is bought NOW, the waiting-period for hoped for --BUT NOT ASSURED-- profitability has to be at least last 3-5 years.
Here’s some relevant quotes from the article. (Comments in bracket are my own).
"She [the idiot running the ARK funds] has been trying to catch a falling scalpel, and it obviously isn’t working… This is a grim reminder that “buy high, buy more lower” isn’t exactly a winning strategy. Sometimes buying the dip is just a case of snapping turtles all the way down… She’s been trying to catch a falling scalpel, and it obviously isn’t working… analysts don’t see Teladoc turning a profit until 2025 at the earliest.
Rick Munarriz [the article’s writer] has positions in Teladoc Health. The Motley Fool has positions in and recommends Teladoc Health.
So, here’s how Stock Adviser works. Each month, two new stocks are recommended. The stocks all have the same profile: a decent-enough balance sheet and a forecast of higher than average growth. But --most likely-- the company is presently unprofitable, and it is not forecast to become so over the next three years. That’s all the facts you need to know to set up a scan at FinViz (or similar) to find such stocks yourself without having to wait 30 days to be spoon fed two of them. Whether you’d want to buy such stocks is a whole 'nother matter. But you now know how to front-run their flagship newsletter.

Here’s How Director Alphonse Puthren Reacted To The Interview Of Vijay!!
Written by Dhiwaharan Published on Apr 11, 2022 | 17:47 PM IST | 279
Director Alphonse Puthren of “Premam” fame about whom Vijay talked about in his recent interview ahead of his “Beast” release, came up with a series of stories in his Instagram handle as a reaction to Vijay’s words. The posta were uploaded by fans congratulating him to do the project soon.
On Sunday, Sun TV telecasted the interview of actor Vijay, interviewed by Nelson Dilipkumar, director of his upcoming film. For the first time in last 10 years, actor Vijay appeared in a television channel for the promotion of his upcoming movie. The actor who was opting for audio launch to interact with his fans for the past few years, answered the questions of “Beast” director Nelson Dilipkumar in the interview which took place in the office of Sun Pictures owned by Kalanithi Maaran who bankrolled “Beast”.
Starting from working with Pooja Hegde, Anirudh to Vijay Makkal Iyakkam members taking part in Tamil nadu local body elections and winning, the actor shared about many things including his personal and professional life. Talking about “Beast”, the actor wanted the audience to watch it and tell whether it is good or not and said that no one would make a film to become a “flop”.

“I only know to judge whether the scenes that impressed me during the narration worked out or not after the making but the final verdict belongs to the audience” Vijay said in the interview. When Nelson Dilipkumar asked Vijay why he stayed away from interviews for the past 10 years, Vijay cited a print interview as one of the reasons for staying away from media.
Nelson went on to ask Viijay about the future of his son Sanjay. The actor said that he would let him do anything he wants but he is currently opting for 2 years of time to think. “No matter whether he chooses to stay behind the camera or in front it, I would give him my support if he wants” Vijay said who also shared about director Nelson Dilipkumar meeting him personally to tell a story for his son.
“Director of “Preman” met me once and I thought he was going to narrate a story for me. But he surprised me saying that he wants to narrate a story for Sanjay. I was hoping for Sanjay to nod “yes” but he said that he wants two years of more time. “Please tell it to sir” Sanjay requested me” said Vijay in the interview.
Watch the interview below :
Reacting to the same, Alphonse who is waiting for his next directorial venture “Gold” with Nayanthara and Prithvi Raj to release soon after “Premam” which hit the screens 8 years ago, has been sharing the stories in his official Instagram handle.
The stories are about the fans of the filmmaker wishing him the “best” for his idea to materialize soon. Check out the screenshots below :

United States DECLARES MAXIMUM ALERT to the People
For Tiziano Breda, Central America analyst for the International Crisis Group (ICG), the increase in murders is one of the pressure measures that gangs have used in the past and continue to use in El Salvador.
It is important to note that none of these Latin American countries are at war. However, the Americas is the continent with the most murders, registering 160,800 of the 436,900 deaths in 2020 in the world due to homicide, which the UNODC defines as killing someone intentionally, not including suicides or deaths occurring in wars.
The United States leads the table among the most developed countries with a rate of 6.28 homicides per 100,000 population recorded by UNODC in 2020. New Zealand (2.63 homicides per 100,000 inhabitants), Canada (1.97), Finland (1.64) or France (1.32) are well below.
Covid-19 Mortality Analysis
The CEDEUS service helps to identify, in a virtual way, the socio-environmental vulnerability that has revealed the impact of the virus in the country, in addition to other effects in areas such as health or housing.
Chile’s vulnerability indicator data come, for the most part, from administrative bases such as the 2017 population census and the CASEN survey. Environmental vulnerability data, specifically air pollution and vegetation come from less traditional sources: global models of fine particulate matter (MP2.5) and Landsat 8 satellite images.
NGOs in the area have used the platform to demand greater support for their communities, using the data as evidence demonstrating social, racial and environmental inequalities. It has also been used as discussion material in municipal town meetings.

Based on these time series, a monthly projection is calculated as a baseline for the pandemic period. There are several methods to calculate this baseline and in this work the two main ones are taken according to the database available: Monthly Average and Linear Regression for each month.
For the calculation of the baseline by Linear Regression for each month, the aim is to find the line equidistant to all the points of the monthly time series or that minimizes the sum of squared errors of the projection (Németh et al., 2021). For this purpose, the ordinary least squares technique is used to find the two regressors:

Sin City is turning 30, and the black-and-white crime comic from Frank Miller is getting a new edition to celebrate.
The softcover editions include new wrap-around cover art and pinup gallery art from Joyce Chin, Amanda Conner, Klaus Janson, Paul Pope, Philip Tan and Gerardo Zaffino.
Sin City is considered one of Miller’s masterworks, alongside properties such as The Dark Knight Returns and 300. Miller gives credit to Dark Horse founder Mike Richardson for jumping at his idea.
“When I first decided to write and draw a black and white crime comic, Mike Richardson didn’t blink. We were off and running and continue to do so 30 years later,” Miller said in a statement.
First published by Dark Horse in 1991, the anthology series kicked off with “The Hard Goodbye,” the tale of ex-con Marv who spends the night with a woman named Goldie who ends up dead, putting Marv on the hunt for her killer. The stories, written and drawn by Miller, continued periodically through 2000.
“Frank Miller’s association with Dark Horse has flourished for over thirty years,” Richardson said. “The original publication of Sin City was a watershed moment for our company, and we are very pleased to celebrate its 30th Anniversary with a brand-new edition. Readers will find that Sin City is just at powerful today as it was the day it was first released, exactly what you would expect from one of comics’ master creators.”
Miller turned Sin City into the 2005 film co-directed by Robert Rodriguez. It was praised for its comic-inspired visual style and earned $158.7 million globally. It spawned a sequel, 2014’s Sin City: A Dame to Kill For, that couldn’t quite recreate the magic at the box office or with critics. Both Miller and Rodriguez are also attached to a TV show for Legendary.
Frank Miller’s Sin City Volume: 1 The Hard Goodbye hits comic shops Sept. 29 and bookstores Oct. 12, with subsequent volumes arriving over the following months.

I believe that my research has made some major contributions to the field of sociology. Being a sociology major, I have always had an interest in looking at society and the way people behave in it. Composing a thesis on sociology only seemed like the natural step after enjoying it so much during my time in college.
My research seeks to find the impact of social media and technology on younger people. Of course, recently, social media has come under heavy criticism from parents and academics alike. Many things have been blamed on social media, and my research is focused on the actual impact that social media has on people, especially in terms of their communication.
Many students struggle to find existing papers that are worthwhile to include in their papers. There is an entire section in thesis papers devoted to analyzing the material that already exists on the field.
There are many resources that I utilized when composing my paper and to bring myself up to scratch on the subject. Online academic journals focused on sociology are a great place to start for any student writing a thesis paper. Most journals have a large archive so you can explore the past material about your topic, along with seeing the latest research being conducted on your topic.
There are also many offline avenues that you can explore. The best is your local and university library. They will have many important textbooks centered on your subject. Due to the diverse range of books stocked at libraries, even if you are not writing about a sociology topic, you should have no problems finding relevant information about your subject.
It is very common for the media to attribute any wrongdoing to social media, painting social media platforms as evil and the cause of many behavioral problems in children. My research is focused on finding the actual effects of social media on younger people, particular millennials.
My contributions have found very surprising results for the impact social media has had on those who have grown up using it. Perhaps the least surprising is the fact that those who use social media extensively have more problems communicating in person.
Another result is that, no, social media is not the root cause of all wrongdoing in the world. Antisocial or bad behavior was seen at the same rates among those who used social media often and those who did not.
I am very proud of the contributions I have been able to make to the field of sociology through my thesis research. My aim was to clear misconceptions related to social media and I feel that I have achieved this.

The Let It Shine grand finale is almost upon us already, but could there be more on the horizon?
Judge Dannii Minogue certainly hopes so. Speaking to Digital Spy, Dannii said that she reckons the show needs a spinoff which charts the final five boys' journey as they rehearse the upcoming Take That musical The Band. And we'd definitely be up for that.
"I said to Gary that I would so love to see a follow-up show where you see them training and how it all evolves," she told us.
"Because things do travel very quickly these days. This show's shorter than X Factor, but even X Factor, in 10 weeks, you're pumping out these singers who have never done that before. It's still very quick.
"I think that with this, the final prize is a very long-term thing; it's a 12-month job in the show, touring around and ending up in the West End, and then they have that skill set to go on forever. I'd like to see more of that. For the viewers that voted for them, they'll want to know what's going on with them and how they're getting on."
And Dannii would also be interested in returning for a second BBC talent show with the same team, provided that the final prize was as good as Let It Shine.
"This team is just so much fun to work with," she continued. "I was travelling back and forth, because my son was in school, so I'm arriving on set, fully jet-lagged. But to still have so much fun with everyone is such a sign of the vibe and what it is.
"I'd love to be a part of it again, I've just been very vocal that the end prize has got to be as good as this one. I know that audience-wise and press-wise, it's still fairly mysterious about what the actual show is. But I've been lucky enough to have the writer Tim Firth explain it to me, and it's brilliant.
"So if they find something that's gonna be as fantastic a prize, then I'd definitely love to be involved."
When asked whether fans should be concerned that we haven't seen any evidence the boys can act as well as sing, Dannii said: "It's the real spirit of the boys that we want.
"The fact that we want them to have a real boyband feel, the fact that they've all been living together and hanging out. I have a really eagle eye when you see the little clip packages of them hanging out and how they respond and react.
"I remember when Take That were starting, and we'd always be promoting on the same shows, whether it was Top of the Pops or whatever. And it was their dynamic together and their friendship, how they'd muck around, who was the naughtiest one, that's what was so intriguing on top of the songs being great pop songs you wanted to hear on the radio.
"For me, I'm watching that footage and if they've naturally got that, there's so little acting required, because you just want to bring that to the stage."
Robbie Williams will reunite with Gary Barlow and the Take That boys for the final, as well as acting as the fourth judge alongside Gary, Dannii and Martin Kemp.
This time around, viewers will have the final say as they vote for their favourite members of the final three bands.
Let It Shine concludes on Saturday at 6.45pm on BBC One.
