Bangalore: The Bangalore Police on Tuesday seized the passport of the French diplomat, who has been accused by his Indian wife of raping their three-and-a-half-year-old daughter. The abuse began in 2010, claimed the diplomat's wife, when their daughter was a mere toddler aged one.
Pascal Mazurier was arrested on Tuesday morning after the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) gave a clearance, saying the diplomat did not enjoy any immunity.
The Bangalore Police had till now been hesitant in arresting him citing diplomatic immunity provided to envoys.
Meanwhile, the French MEA issued a statement on Tuesday morning, saying, "We have been informed of the allegation against one of our employees posted at the Consulate General of France in Bangalore and have since been in contact with the local authorities. An investigation is underway. We cannot, therefore, comment on this at this stage.

Senate Democrats and the Homeland Security Department are pushing back against budget cuts proposed by House Republicans in the tussle over the federal government's spending.
Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano told a Senate Appropriations subcommittee Wednesday that the funding bill approved by the House last month would:
• Cut $560 million from her department's science and technology division, halving its budget.
• Halve to 250 the number of new advanced imaging technology scanners that could be bought this year for airport passenger screening checkpoints.
• Reduce the number of K9 security teams deployed at checkpoints by two-thirds.
• Cut funds for 250 Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents and interoperable communications on the Mexican border.
House Republicans and other defenders of the cuts said they generally target poor-performing programs and are needed to confront the nation's spiraling fiscal crisis.
The House funding bill, designated HR1, next must be considered in the Senate, where lawmakers have until March 18 to reach agreement to keep the government operating for the rest of the fiscal year, which ends Sept. 30.
Senate Democratic leaders have signaled they intend to oppose many of the cuts in HR1; that sentiment prevailed in the appropriations hearing where Ms. Napolitano testified.
Sen. Frank R. Lautenberg, New Jersey Democat, said the cuts would endanger the nation.
"We face urgent threats to our homeland security; [it] comes from our friends in the House who want to cut funding for programs [...] that keep us safe," he said.
In an analysis of HR1 produced for Democratic lawmakers, administration officials gave details of other cuts they said the funding bill would impose:
• Cutting E-Verify, the administration's online system that helps employers check the immigration status of new hires, by $34 million — 25 percent of its budget.
• Scaling back and delaying Einstein 3, a new cybersecurity system for U.S. government computer networks.
• Canceling the Integrated Wireless Network, a new interoperable hand-held radio system for federal law enforcement agents.
• Reducing Justice Department spending on information sharing by $100 million.
An HR1 amendment — proposed by Rep. Bill Pascrell Jr., New Jersey Democrat — reallocated $560 million from Homeland Security's science and technology division to the SAFER program, which helps fund firefighters' salaries across the country.
Stewart Baker, a senior homeland security official in the George W. Bush administration, called the move "a disaster, in particular because the money is going to members of the firefighters' labor unions."
"It's very strange to me that this new freshman class of tea party lawmakers should decide that the first thing they want to do is write a big, big check to the unions by getting rid of homeland security R-and-D [research and development]," he said.
Mr. Baker said the SAFER money would be "piddled away in overtime payments in a year or two with nothing to show for it once it's gone, instead of providing substantial R-and-D benefits that would have helped strengthen our security for years to come."
Research and development activities in the science and technology division "would basically have to stop for the rest of the year" if the cut is enacted, one Democratic congressional staffer said.

For those wanting to get in or out of the Florida banking market, NationsBank Corp.'s two recent Miami acquisitions sends a clear message: Do it now.
For a buyer who wants a Florida institution with some bulk, the pickings are few. As for a seller, the high prices offered today might not last.
The result has been frenetic trading in the stock of Florida's remaining independent banks and thrifts in recent days. The stock of Seacoast Banking Corp. of Stuart, for example, surged $2 to a 52-week high of $20 in the days following NationsBank's acquisitions.
"There has been a froth of activity that has got everybody stirred up," said Dennis S. Hudson 3d, chief executive of Seacoast. "I can imagine retail investors calling their brokers and saying, 'Buy me a bank in Florida."'
The two recent NationsBank deals - for CSF Holdings Inc. and Intercontinental Bank - expand the already huge gap between the largest Florida-based bank, Barnett Banks Inc. at $41 billion of assets, and a host of small banks, nearly all of which have under $1 billion of assets.
As a result, takeover speculation now shifts to a dwindling group of institutions in the $500 million to $2 billion-asset range, including BankAtlantic Bancorp of Miami, Home Financial Corp. of Hollywood, First Palm Beach Bancorp of West Palm Beach, and Seacoast.
While most of these institutions have professed to maintaining their independence, they will likely take a harder look at their plans as a result of NationsBank's actions, analysts said.
"You have to be tempted, given this market, to consider allying yourself with a bigger player," said Thomas F. Theurkauf, senior vice president at Keefe, Bruyette & Woods Inc. in New York. "The last several months have proven to be a very opportune time to sell."
Mr. Theurkauf and other analysts said that the Florida banking market is likely reaching the end of its current earnings growth cycle. Increased deposit competition and stunted loan growth anticipated in the coming quarters could result in far lower prices than what NationsBank and First Union Corp. have offered their recent targets, analysts said.
The acquisitions activity benefits the remaining independents by creating a seller's market. Home Financial intends to take advantage of this by soliciting offers next fall, it said. It converted from a mutual to a stock thrift last fall in order to have this option, it said.
But some of these small banks said that now more than ever it makes sense to remain on their own.
"Based on our size ($1.7 billion of assets), we are certainly a natural candidate," said Alan B. Levan, chief executive of BankAtlantic. "But since there are so few of us left in the state, our future is golden as an independent bank."
Mr. Levan said his bank is already benefiting from its status: displaced customers from recently acquired thrifts and banks, including Intercontinental, are already knocking on its doors.
"All I know is that our phones are ringing off the hook," he said. "These are customers that made the choice to bank with an independent community bank."
A high price, however, can apparently make even the most independent- minded bankers sing a different tune. Charles B. Stuzin, chairman and president of the $4.7 billion-asset CSF, for example, had repeatedly declared his intention to refuse takeover offers.

Submitted February 25, 1930.
Decided March 27, 1930.
Real Property — Vendor and Purchaser — Sale on Deferred Payments — Breach of Contract by Purchaser — Vendor Entitled to Rent for Occupancy by Purchaser After Breach — Landlord and Tenant. Vendor and Purchaser — Sale on Deferred Payments — Breach by Purchaser — Vendor Entitled to Immediate Possession and to Rent from Purchaser Thereafter. 1. In an action to quiet title to residence property, brought by the vendor against the purchaser, who had bought the premises on deferred payments, and terminated the contract when only partially performed, notifying vendor that he would no longer comply with its conditions, but remained in possession for three months thereafter, the contention of defendant that plaintiff was not entitled to rent for the time he, defendant, occupied the premises but that his sole remedy was to oust defendant and retake possession as provided in an escrow agreement, held without merit. Same — Vendor Entitled to Value of Use and Occupation for Period During Which Purchaser Occupies Premises After Breach — Rental. 2. Where a party is let into possession of real property under a contract of sale which is terminated by his own breach, he is liable for the value of the use and occupation for the period during which he continues in possession of the premises thereafter; under such circumstances he becomes a tenant at will and in the absence of a specific agreement to pay rent, the law implies a promise on his part to make reasonable compensation for his occupation.
Appeal from District Court, Missoula County; Asa L. Duncan, Judge.
Mr. Harry H. Parsons, for Appellant.
Mr. Elmer E. Hershey, for Respondent.
This action was brought by plaintiffs to quiet title to certain property in the city of Missoula and to recover from defendant the sum of $75, for the use and occupation of the premises. After issue joined, the cause was tried before the court and judgment entered for plaintiffs in accordance with the prayer of the complaint. Defendant appeals from the judgment.
The record discloses that on June 17, 1922, plaintiffs were the owners of the premises in controversy and on that date John W. and Adelaide L. Ward, husband and wife, purchased the same on deferred payments. A deed was duly executed and delivered to the Missoula Trust Savings Bank, with an escrow agreement stipulating for the delivery of the deed to the Wards when the full purchase price had been paid. Thereafter the Wards assigned their interest in the property to defendant, who took possession. All payments required were made until June 17, 1927, at which time defendant advised plaintiffs that he would not complete the payments nor further comply with the contract. These facts are not controverted. Plaintiffs' uncontradicted testimony shows that when the agreement was terminated by defendant he did not desire to move from the premises and was permitted to continue in possession, where he resided with his family for a period of three months, and has refused to pay rental for that period. The bank refused to surrender the deed and escrow agreement unless plaintiffs would execute a receipt fully releasing defendant from all claims of whatever nature. Plaintiffs refused to sign such release, and this action followed.
The sole question presented is whether there is sufficient competent evidence to support the judgment for $75 for the use and occupation of the premises from the date defendant terminated the contract.
The escrow agreement contains this clause: "That should the [1, 2] said John W. Ward, and Adelaide L. Ward, his wife, * * * at any time for a period of thirty days or more fail to make payments as above set forth, then at the option of the said A.D. Searles or Mrs. A.D. Searles, his wife, * * * may reclaim and take up this deed and this escrow agreement shall become null and void, and all payments that may have been made thereon shall be forfeited * * * as liquidated damages and as payment for the use and occupation of said premises."
It is contended by defendant that plaintiffs are bound by the terms of the escrow agreement, and upon his failure to comply with the provisions thereof, plaintiffs' remedy was to terminate the contract and oust defendant. The contention is wholly without merit since defendant admits that he terminated the contract and so notified plaintiffs. There remained nothing for plaintiffs to do; the transaction between plaintiffs and defendant, in so far as the escrow agreement was concerned, was at an end by defendant's own act, and plaintiffs were entitled to the immediate possession of the premises.
"If a party is let into possession under a contract of sale which goes off, he is liable in use and occupation, at the suit of the vendor, for the period during which he continued in possession after the contract went off; although he may not be for occupation prior to the rescinding of the contract." (2 Taylor on Landlord Tenant, 9th ed., sec. 637; 2 Tiffany on Landlord Tenant, p. 1867; Tiedeman on Real Property, sec. 216; Michael v. Curtis, 60 Conn. 363, 22 A. 949; Dwight v. Cutler, 3 Mich. 566, 64 Am. Dec. 105; Howard v. Shaw, 8 Mees. W. 118, 151 Eng. Rep. [Reprint] 973.)
Upon the termination of the contract by defendant, he became a tenant at will (1 Tiffany on Landlord Tenant, p. 313; Bush v. Fuller, 173 Ala. 511, 55 So. 1000), and while there was no specific and definite agreement to pay rent, the law implies a promise on his part to make compensation or pay a reasonable rent for his occupation. ( Carpenter v. United States, 17 Wall. (84 U.S.) 489, 21 L.Ed. 680; Chambers v. Ross, 25 N.J.L. 293; Chamberlain v. Donahue, 44 Vt. 57; Wilkinson v. Wilkinson, 62 Mo. App. 249; Woodbury v. Woodbury, 47 N.H. 11, 90 Am. Dec. 555.)
We are of the opinion that there is sufficient competent evidence to support the judgment.
For the reasons given the judgment is affirmed.
MR. CHIEF JUSTICE CALLAWAY and ASSOCIATE JUSTICES MATTHEWS, GALEN and ANGSTMAN concur.

Heathers TV show in development
A 'Heathers' TV show is in development.
TV Land is rebooting the 1989 black comedy - which starred Winona Ryder and Christian Slater - for the small screen, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The original film was written by Daniel Waters and directed by Michael Lehmann and featured four teenage girls -- three named Heather -- in a clique at a fictional Ohio High School.
TV Land's reboot will focus on three former outcasts who are now popular, Heather McNamara, a black lesbian, overweight Heather Chandler and gender-queer Heather Duke, known as Heath.
Winona, 44, was 15 when she filmed the role and previously revealed that she almost didn't get the part, for a number of reasons.
Initially the director didn't think the brunette beauty was pretty enough for the role of Veronica.
He said: "I was like, 'The girl from 'Lucas'? She's just not attractive." Winona explained: "You have to understand, at the time, I didn't look that different from my character in 'Beetlejuice'. I was very pale. I had blue-black dyed hair. I went to Macy's at the Beverly Center and had them do a makeover on me."
And Winona's agent also didn't want her to take on the role.
She said: "My agent at the time ¬literally got on her knees and begged me not to do [the movie. She had her hands together, and she goes, 'You will never. Work. Again.' We parted ways later."

Bruce Smith is an author best known for his book DB Cooper and the FBI: A Case Study of America’s Only Unsolved Skyjacking. Speaking of his wiki, his exact age, and birthday is yet to be determined. Since 2006, he has worked as an investigative journalist. Go through the article to learn more about him and his book, and find out where he is now!
Bruce Smith, the Author of D.B. Cooper and the FBI: Wiki, Age, Where Is He Now?
D.B. Cooper: Where Are You?!, a four-part documentary series by director Marina Zenovich (@zenovichmarina), examines the search for the infamous hijacker who took control of a Northwest Orient flight from Portland to Seattle in November 1971.
At a period when hijackings of aircraft were occurring more often, Cooper was successful in getting what he needed and escaping without killing anyone on board. A writer by the name of Bruce A. Smith has written a book about the same case.
Bruce Smith has been an author for a long time. He is known for The Mystery of D.B. Cooper (2020) and Expedition Unknown (2015). His recent book, DB Cooper and the FBI: A Case Study of America’s Only Unsolved Skyjacking, was also published.
His first publication, The South Pierce Dispatch in Washington, was quite succesful, and he is currently the editor of the Mountain News-WA, where he asks and gives his opinion. Some of his thoughts were presented there. He went on to write:
What transpires, though, when there isn’t a body? How should the FBI continue when they have so little concrete evidence? This only compounds the problem. I’ll confess, it’s not an easy job. Losing evidence is also detrimental. But even at the executive level, huge bureaucracies make mistakes, misplace things, and have a scattering of subpar agents. How did they fare after 46 years of looking into DB Cooper? What might occur next from this point on?
The 3rd Edition of DB Cooper and the FBI-A Case Study of America’s Only Unsolved Skyjacking, a book by Bruce Smith, provides an update on what has happened since the FBI’s official investigation was concluded in August 2016.
When the Bureau gave up, two crucial dynamics were set in motion: First, the FBI’s complete control over its documentation was lost, and it was made public. Second, without any of the institutional turgidity that had hampered the FBI’s 45-year search, citizens and private investigators vigorously took over the Cooper investigation.
As a result, the public has sparked several exciting evidential breakthroughs and the curtain covering the FBI’s inner workings has been lifted. These include detecting rare earth elements and other unusual metals on the tie that DB Cooper left on the plane, as well as finding springtime diatoms on ransom money found near Tina Bar in 1980.
A media blitz that has included two movies, many books, and a lawsuit against the FBI has supported the announcements made by two independent research groups that have provided strong suspects in the case.
Cliff Ammerman, the air traffic controller who watched the airplane at the time Cooper leaped out, has also finally been interviewed, resulting in fresh and insightful viewpoints on the flight path and prospective landing zones.
The 3rd Edition includes a comprehensive chapter on the fingerprints found on Cooper’s plane, a case element that has not been adequately covered in any other book on DB Cooper, as well as numerous new photos and maps, new and exclusive interviews with several passengers, and detailed discussions of all of these aspects.
Smith was born in Long Island, NY, the United States. Talking about his wiki, his exact date of birth and birthday are yet to be determined. Since 2006, he has worked as an investigative journalist. However, further details regarding the author and where he is now are still unknown. We will surely update you soon!

For millennia, humans have been cultivating hemp. The miraculous cannabis plant is the source of multiple extracts and compounds that possess natural, wellness properties.
Among them is Cannabidiol, or CBD – the hemp-derived compound that holds the key to unlocking the body’s endocannabinoid system.
The High Falls Hemp story began back in 1981 when our co-founder Tricia moved to NYC. Tricia grew up on a farm in Ohio, so city life left her yearning for the great outdoors. She soon found a beautiful parcel of farmland in High Falls NY on the banks of the Roundout River. Over the years Tricia and her husband Rick further developed the property and began growing vegetables and enjoying the land. It has been their place to getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city.
A car accident in NYC left both of them with chronic discomfort and they started searching for natural remedies. Tricia and Rick soon heard about and started using CBD, and were amazed at how much better they felt, without relying on medications.
When New York state offered farmers licenses to grow Hemp in 2017, they realized it was meant to be and planted their first hemp in 2018.
Rick and Tricia were passionate about farming and also about wine. They extensively traveled exploring the finest family vineyards from Napa to Bourdeaux. These vineyards were the inspiration behind the High Falls Hemp mission – to nurture the finest plants with organic farming practices to create the highest quality products.
How it all began.
Tricia and Rick’s dream of a hemp wellness revolution begins in High Falls, New York– two hours from the city. Today, Tricia manages the farming and Rick the marketing of their budding CBD business which boasts 13 acres of hemp farms in four locations.
High Falls is a magical place. The iconic waterfall at the heart of the town is the heartbeat, the lifeblood, of verdant valleys and vast, dense forests – a purity so palpable, it was ideal for creating the finest hemp-derived CBD products.
The very heartbeat of HIGH FALLS HEMP | NY is its iconic Hempery – the cabin turned state-of-the-art laboratory where the seeds germinate and blossom into hemp plants. The Hempery is where the magic happens, where the journey begins. Through our distinct “seed to soul” philosophy, the mission of HIGH FALLS HEMP | NY is to craft the purest CBD-infused products available anywhere.
The hemp wellness revolution is upon us.
HIGH FALLS POP CULTURE
Part of the 1961 movie, Splendor in the Grass, starring Natalie Wood and Warren Beatty was filmed at the waterfalls in the hamlet of High Falls
The 1987 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles TV series, season 4, an episode is set in High Falls, NY
High Falls, New York
When you ask the High Falls family, “What are you most proud of?”, the response starts with a big smile as they share our seed to soul story and their part in it. Every member of our team has tremendous pride in the history behind each and every product that is grown on our farm in High Falls, New York.
It would be an oversight to not share with you the pride we have in where our products are grown. You may not think it matters, but it’s our family farm and our process is paramount. But, to understand that, we should start at the very beginning.
High Falls, New York is a beautiful hamlet nestled in Ulster County, New York, within the Catskill region. The city takes its name from the nearby feature on the Rondout Creek, where the creek cuts through a large rock formation and goes over a large waterfall.
This was an attractive source of water power, and millers were drawn to it from colonial times. It’s location, at a key water crossing, inclusive of the John A. Roebling aqueduct, remained important for decades in the industrialization era. This is also a place where our nation’s natural element, cement was discovered!
Over time, High Falls was transformed from a small industrial, rural community town to a bustling city after the canal was expanded in 1850 to handle big barges transporting materials.
Given its location, it established itself as a haven for local farmers and businesses to flourish. We are proud to have established our farm in this sprawling valley that provides the best Mother Earth has to offer with seasons and plant-life to grow our esteemed products and deliver them to your door!
And, if you are thinking about a weekend escape, High Falls in the heart of the bountiful Hudson Valley, is the place! Beautiful hills and fields with mountain vistas serve as the perfect getaway or place for a second home. Incredible shops, stores, hotels, and restaurants that cater to our local, small-town residents, and those that visit are treated like family!

Greek airline Sky Express, which provides connecting flights to Greek regional airports, has the shortest flight in Europe. It’s flight between the islands of Kassos and Karpathos lasts for only 5 minutes and is considered one of the shortest in the European continent and among the 10 shortest in the world. CEO Niki Karagioule-Karageorgiou says it is one of the most demanding routes as the winds over the Karpathian Sea are very strong and make piloting the planes quite difficult. “In winter there are often flights that transport only blood bags and medical exams to hospitals and health centres and vice-versa”, she says. Many tourists use the company’s services during summer for their one day hop overs to islands in the Aegean and Ionian Sea. However, the bulk of those who utilise these connetcing flights are actually locals who take care of their business with state-services like regional tax offices. “For example, to get to the tax office in the island of Rhodes it takes4 hours via ship and only 20 minutes with the plane”, explains Mr. Karagioule-Karageorgiou. Sky Express has added 18 new destinations over the past year and exclusively serves 9 new routes, connecting Greek islands with mainland Greece in Athens, Thessaloniki and Heraklion, while it recently signed a code agreement agreement with Germania in its efforts to expand its network and synergies. The airline’s fleet composes mainly of 40-70 seat ATR aircraft.

‘Pay Rs 1,500 and get an e-pass within two hours to travel across India” reads an advertisement that is spreading like wildfire on WhatsApp groups in Vellore.
At a time when travel permissions to move to hinterlands is hard to find due to pandemic-induced restrictions, a commercial enterprise has sprung up in the state, riding on government connections to secure the same.
Calls to the numbers specified in the Whatsapp ads confirmed that the persons behind the enterprise were able to secure e-passes within two hours.
The person said all he needed was an original Aadhaar identification card of the traveller.
He added for vehicles with white number plates (private ones) the cost would be Rs 1,650, while commercial taxis that sport yellow number plates would cost lesser.
When asked, Vellore district officials told News18 that stringent action will be taken against those acting as ‘agents’ for securing e-passes.
“In our district, we approve requests for passes if they have valid reasons for travel. It usually takes us less than one hour to approve e-passes here. However, we came to know that a person has been spreading WhatsApp messages promising to get e-passes for travellers for money. We will arrest the person at the earliest under charges of forgery and cheating,” Vellore Collector Shanmuga Sundaram said.
Hours later, a class 12 passout was arrested.
Sources said that to cash in on the demand for e-passes without hassles, several such attempts -- conning people for what is essentially a seamless government service -- are being made.
A similar advertisement went viral recently in Cuddalore district.
A person who runs a travel service agency in the district circulated an audio claiming that he will help people with e-passes within half an hour for a service charge of Rs 500. The man was arrested on Tuesday.
In the audio sent to many groups in Cuddalore district, the person claimed a client count of over 50,000 people over the past four months and requested those wishing to travel to send him records of their credentials and pay for his service after receiving the e-passes.
A hunt is on to trace the person.
Non-metropolis districts of the southern state have turned into key centres of the coronavirus outbreak. Besides extending lockdown, the state government has been closely monitoring movement of people to bring unnecessary travel to contain the spread of the virus.

KICK-ASS - A BADASS MOVIE REVIEW
KICK-ASS - A BADASS MOVIE REVIEW
By: THE MAD HATTER
"What the f*ck have you done lately?"
That line comes from Mark Millar's comic book series, "Wanted." In a nifty, self-aware way, it's at the centre of the film KICK-ASS which is also adapted from a Millar comic series. The mantra of a group of kids who know they are capable of more, it's a shot to the chest for any of us who stand on the sidelines and don't have the guts to stand up for what's right. And it gives a shockingly violent movie a lot of heart.
The film starts with Dave Lizewski (Aaron Johnson), an unspectacular teenager yearning to be something more. Inspired by the comic books he surrounds himself with, he decides to go vigilante and fight crime as a superhero. Small problem though—he has no powers and no training. During his first act of justice, he gets pummeled within an inch of his life. The up-side is that to save him, doctors had to graft a lot of steel plates onto his skeleton, leaving him rather impervious to pain.
His next time out goes much better; not only does he win the fight, but he gets massive YouTube exposure thanks to gawkers with their camera phones. Dave is now much more than a mere mortal; he's Kick-Ass, here to save the day, your cat—whatever you need.
Meanwhile, we are introduced to Damon Macready and his daughter Mindy (Nicolas Cage and Chloe Grace Moretz). After being framed and sent to prison during his daughter's infancy, Damon has grown a tad overprotective and angry. He wants vengeance on Frank D'Amico (Mark Strong), the mob boss who set him up. He reaps his vengeance by becoming "Big Daddy," loading up on weapons—lots of them, legal and wildly illegal alike—and thwarting Frank's business at every turn. Oh, and he trains his daughter to help him.
Know those girls that would rather play hockey than play with dolls? Mindy is like that; but replace the hockey stick with a butterfly knife. She becomes Hit Girl and with Big Daddy, reaches out to Kick-Ass to make him a better hero.
The three of them start taking on Frank's goons, leaving him with precious few resources. So Frank turns to his son Chris (Christopher Mintz-Plasse), who suggests the only way to find a hero is to become a hero. Chris follows the Kick-Ass formula of grassroots heroism and becomes Red Mist, an internet phenomenon in his own right, hoping that Kick-Ass, Hit Girl, and Big Daddy will take the bait and reach out to him. Maybe then he can crawl out from under his father's massive shadow.
Aaron Johnson draws us in as the titular character, Kick-Ass. His body language perfectly captures a kid whose guts have decided to do something extraordinary but whose brain still isn't convinced. He's that guy you see on the high dive at the pool, arms wrapped around his torso, taking ages to decide whether to jump or take the climb of shame back down the ladder.
Great as Johnson is, he is damn near upstaged by Moretz and Cage. It's their relationship that makes the film a winner. They kick ass better than Kick-Ass kicks ass, but behind the cowls and capes, they are a father and daughter whose relationship is very loving and very real. Cage hams it up appropriately (often doing his best Adam West meets William Shatner), but there is never a moment where we doubt his devotion to his daughter. He isn't putting her through this to follow in his footsteps; he only wants her to be able to protect herself. You can see in her eyes that she knows this isn't completely normal. But she loves her dad, and he hasn't let her down yet, so she follows his lead.
These characters are all reasons enough to see the movie, but it's watching them come out and play that makes this an intense experience. Despite being less than two hours, the film is loaded with action sequences, all of which are expertly choreographed. Hit Girl is at the centre of the best ones which is what makes them slightly more unique. Not since Gogo Yubari swung her mace in KILL BILL has a schoolgirl amassed such a bodycount.
Much has been made of how the film earns its R rating. Hit Girl uses language that would make a sailor blush, the violence is pretty intense—bodies cook, limbs are lost, bullets fly—and none of it has artistic merit. But I don't believe that makes the film overly exploitive. It is based on a violent comic book after all. It just means that the film isn't for young kids.
Intensity aside, what KICK-ASS does best is get the human element right. Kick-Ass' ambition, Hit Girl's devotion, and Red Mist's isolation all work. These kids are not caricatures; they are very human and very relatable. You look at their faces, and you can see the unrest and desire. Deep down in all of them, they know they'd rather be the one in the middle of the fray than a spectator standing on the sidelines with a camera.

The Slender Thread
Set in Seattle's Crisis Clinic, the movie sets up a dramatic situation at the outset with a suicidal woman (Anne Bancroft) calling into the clinic after taking an overdose of barbiturates. Her call is received by Alan Newell (Sidney Poitier), a student volunteer at the center who is majoring in psychology. As the clinic staff races against time to trace the call and rescue the distraught woman, Alan tries to keep her talking and in the process learns of the events leading up to her decision to kill herself. Alternating between flashbacks and the stressful situation at the crisis clinic, The Slender Thread works best as a dramatic showcase for the performances of Anne Bancroft as the suicidal Mrs. Dyson and Sidney Poitier as her lifeline to survival.
The original working title of the film was "Cross My Heart and Hope to Die" with Elizabeth Ashley slated to play Mrs. Dyson but a contract dispute forced her to drop out and she was replaced by Ms. Bancroft. As for Sidney Poitier, he recalled his involvement in his autobiography This Life: "Martin Baum heard of a producer who was about to make a film called The Slender Thread. He read the script and found a part he thought I could play, although again the part was not designated for a black actor. Through a determined effort, Marty sold the producer, who in turn sold the film company, who in turn gave permission for Sydney Pollack to hire me to play that part opposite Anne Bancroft, Steven Hill, and Telly Savalas. So off I went again to face the cameras - this time in Seattle...The Slender Thread experience gave me great satisfaction. Anne Bancroft was simply fantastic, and Telly, of course, is an infinitely better actor than Kojak allowed us to see (alas, Kojak may have completely submerged his large talent; its imagery is so indelible in people's minds)." In addition to Savalas and Steven Hill, Edward Asner and Dabney Coleman are also featured in key supporting roles.
According to Janet L. Meyer in Sydney Pollack: A Critical Filmography, "The dramatization of the first suicide attempt revealed in the film could have been a costly one. Bancroft was wearing the bottom of a wetsuit under her costume. As she waded off shore to dramatize the suicide, the wet suit became saturated and pulled her underwater. Pollack and other members of the film crew had to rescue her!"
Filmed on location in Seattle and at the University of Washington, The Slender Thread features striking black and white cinematography by Loyal Griggs and a music score by Quincy Jones. Seattle, a picturesque but rarely used film location at that time, was also the backdrop for the 1963 Elvis Presley movie, It Happened at the World's Fair. Except for the interior scenes of the crisis center in The Slender Thread, which were filmed on a Paramount sound stage, everything else was filmed on location.
Stirling Silliphant, who based his screenplay on Shana Alexander's short story, would go to work on another Sidney Poitier film two years later - In the Heat of the Night (1967) - and for that, he would win the Best Screenplay Oscar®. However, it was the Art Direction by Hal Pereira, Jack Poplin, Robert Benton, and Joseph Kish and the costumes by Edith Head that received Academy Award nominations for The Slender Thread.
A modestly budgeted, small scale movie, The Slender Thread was much closer in spirit to the live television dramas of the fifties a la Marty and Days of Wine and Roses. And Pollack, a former actor who came from a background in television directing on such shows as The Defenders, Ben Casey and The Alfred Hitchcock Hour, was perfectly at home with this intimate type of drama. Yet, despite the strong central performances of Bancroft and Poitier, The Slender Thread received mostly mixed reviews from the critics. Typical of the overall consensus is this notice by New York Times reviewer A.H. Weiler: "...an often awesome, compelling but occasionally banal soap opera study stemming from the chillingly final statistic, "every two minutes someone attempts suicide in the United States" that hangs in Seattle's Crisis Clinic. Despite the obvious attribute of exposing the clinic's largely unheralded good works, the performances of the principals and the film's naturalistic dialogue are more memorable than the story itself. The Slender Thread makes its dramatic statement long before it unwinds in denouement."

Outbreak inspires art
LIBERIA’S artists have confronted the illness through their work, which includes:
White Ebola, a political song by Mr Monrovia, AG Da Profit and Daddy Cool, centred on the general mistrust of foreigners.
Ebola In Town, a dance tune by a group of West African rappers. D-12, Shadow and Kuzzy Of 2 Kings warn people of the dangers of the virus.
They made up a dance in which no body contact is required – a rare occurrence in African dance.
But some health-care workers had concerns that the Ebola In Town song’s warning “don’t touch your friend” could worsen the stigma.
Senegalese rapper Xuman parodied Rihanna’s Umbrella in Ebola
est là (Ebola is here). The song’s lyrics warn locals: “The disease is among our neighbours, Liberians and Guineans.” The track was a hit.
Ebola Is Real is a hip hop tune done in collaboration with Liberian artists F.A., Soul Fresh, DenG, Adolphus Scott (a Liberian communication specialist for Unicef) and Liberia’s Ministry of Health and Social Welfare.
In August, football superstar George Weah and Ghanaian musician Sidney produced a song to raise awareness about Ebola.
The proceeds from the track were donated to the Liberian Health Ministry. – Wikipedia

This is my first time delving into the world of Jack Reacher beyond the lackluster movie. 7 Practical Steps to Achieve Your Dreams, sounds sort of like a gimmick, but it's not at all. Obviously, geared more towards a large, metropolitan lodge, but you can just as easily adjust it for a "country lodge". It's touching in a Hollywood sort of way - before there was a Hollywood. What I liked the most about it is that it shows Yosemite throughout the seasons. Unlike his work, A Modern Utopia (Forgotten Books), this just feels more realistic and, sometimes, even has a touch of humor. People interested in airships know about the other failures such as the Macon and Shenandoah.

St Aidans Church - Foodbank (Leeds)
During the cost of living crisis we understand more people need help for essential food, therefore Places for People have donated to various foodbank across the country to help our customers and other individuals in the community.
St Aidans Church operate Food Share - a family meal for the those who collect food parcels from Church on a Sunday.
The Foodshare meal is a regular part of St Aidan’s ministry to work with the hungry and homeless. Since January 2014, the Foodshare team have been cooking Sunday lunches to serve to the individuals and families that use our food parcel scheme. These meals take place every six to eight weeks.
They also operate Food Bags on Sundays at St. Aidan’s.
For many years carrier bags containing tins and occasionally other non-perishable foods have been issued, free, to those in need who approach our Church.Each carrier bag issued contains five tins: one cooked meat product (usually a vegetarian equivalent is available as a substitute), one tin of potatoes, one of peas or other vegetable, one tin of baked beans and a fifth tin of either soup or pasta in tomato sauce. This distribution is an essential lifeline for all those who slip through the “safety nets” of society.It is basic: offering, at most, one day’s relief from hunger for, for example, a single childless person and, proportionately, less so for a larger household.

Importance of the field: Vaccination is universally considered as the most effective tool for the prevention of influenza, which represents a significant burden, both from a health-care and a socio-economic viewpoint. Conventional non-adjuvanted vaccines have shown suboptimal immunogenicity in the elderly, in patients with serious chronic diseases or the immunocompromised and in young children. The protection offered by non-adjuvanted vaccines may be further reduced by periodic antigenic drifts.
Areas covered in this review: Between the several strategies proposed to address the need for more immunogenic vaccines than the conventional ones, the most successful strategy is represented by the use of adjuvants. Since 1997, an MF59-adjuvanted subunit influenza vaccine has been licensed in several countries and used in the elderly worldwide. Available data on the safety, immunogenicity and effectiveness of this vaccine have been reported and discussed in details.
What the reader will gain: The MF59-adjuvanted vaccine has been shown to enhance immunogenicity and to confer cross-reactivity against heterologous influenza viral strains in the elderly, in adults with serious underlying medical conditions and in healthy infants and young children. Furthermore, its effectiveness has been demonstrated in older adults, reducing hospitalizations for pneumonia, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
Take home message: The vaccine is safe, with an acceptable tolerability profile, thus representing a valid option to optimize the control of seasonal influenza.


Oh, those beautiful Philodendrons! So many unique and breathtaking species adorn plant collections all over the world.
Everyone has heard of Philodendrons, including those who have never grown a plant in their life.
Philodendron verrucosum is a fascinating plant, along with Philodendron melanochrysum.
Today I’ll tell you more about the hybrid of the two species – Philodendron verrucosum x melanochrysum, commonly known as splendid Philodendron.
A special thing about this Philodendron species is that it has the characteristics of both verrucosum and melanochrysum, but is still unique and fascinating.
We’re going to learn more about the looks of this Philodendron, as well as how to tell it apart from the parent plants and other similar Philodendrons.
You’ll also find a complete care guide and tips on propagating the splendid Philodendron.
Finally, I’ll show you some issues your Philodendron may face and how to deal with them.
Let’s first find out some basic info about this plant:
|Scientific name:||Philodendron verrucosum x melanochrysum
|Common names:||Philodendron splendid, splendid Philodendron
|USDA hardiness zones:||10-11
Let’s get started!
What Does The Splendid Philodendron Look Like?
All species from the Philodendron genus have common characteristics that stand out in the plant world.
The majority of species have massive leaves with unique veinings. Most species differ in shape and size of the leaves and the mature size of the plant.
Let’s find out more about the parents of the splendid Philodendron, and how to differentiate between them.
Splendid Philodendron vs Verrucosum
All Philodendron verrucosum types share certain features, such as massive, heart-shaped leaves. The parent plant features velvety leaves that usually come in an emerald green color and have highlighted, light green veinings.
However, juvenile leaves won’t be emerald green at first; they emerge as dark green and gradually change color.
One of the most fascinating features of the verrucosum plant is the burgundy undersides of the leaves.
The leaves can reach about 2.5 feet long in their mature stage.
So, how can you differentiate between a splendid Philodendron and Philodendron verrucosum?
The Splendid has longer leaves that are usually darker in color. Additionally, it features less noticeable and paler veins.
As far as size is concerned, it mainly depends on the variety and the conditions you provide the plant.
Splendid Philodendron vs Melanochrysum
Hailing from the rainforests of beautiful Colombia, Philodendron melanochrysum will leave everyone breathless with its very dark green leaves. The juvenile leaves are usually reddish-orange to orange-brown in color.
The Melanochrysum is often referred to as black gold Philodendron because if you take this plant out and let the sun rays reach the leaves, you’ll notice tiny golden spots on the almost black leaves. How remarkable!
The leaves of the melanochrysum are longer and darker than those of a splendid Philodendron. The Splendid has wider leaves and won’t display golden spots when exposed to sun rays.
The veinings of the splendid Philodendron are also more noticeable.
The Splendid Philodendron isn’t the only hybrid whose parent plant is melanochrysum – the Philodendron glorious is a hybrid of melanochrysum and gloriosum.

Now you know how to differentiate a Philodendron splendid from its parent plants, but the story is far from over! Other Philodendron species share similar features with the splendid, which is why they’re often confused.
The Philodendron gloriosum is a rare Philodendron species, and its dark, heart-shaped leaves often trick growers into thinking it’s a splendid Philodendron.
However, the leaves aren’t as dark as the splendid Philodendron, and are usually shorter. The veinings of the Philodendron gloriosum are also more noticeable.
Another Philodendron species with heart-shaped leaves and burgundy undersides is the Philodendron micans.
This vining Philodendron has smaller leaves and much darker veinings than those of a splendid Philodendron.
Philodendron Splendid Care Guide
The Splendid Philodendron is thought of as a low-maintenance plant, and it’s pretty easy to keep it happy and healthy.
Here’s a table with an overview of the splendid Philodendron plant care guide:
|Light:||Bright, indirect light|
|Humidity:||50% and up|
|Temperature:||65 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit|
|Soil type:||Well-draining, porous, fertile|
|Watering needs:||Water when top 2-3 inches of soil are dry|
|Fertilizer:||Apply balanced fertilizer monthly during the growing season|
|Repotting:||Every 2-3 years|
Let’s get into details!
How Much Light Does A Splendid Philodendron Need?
The best way to take care of the Philodendron plant is by recreating conditions in its natural habitat as closely as possible. This is a tropical plant, but contrary to popular opinion, it doesn’t like direct sunlight.
It needs partial shade instead of direct sunlight, however, low light may also cause trouble.
Where to place your plant, then? You first need to find a spot near a sunny window so your splendid Philodendron receives enough bright light.
A north-facing window isn’t an option as the light level there isn’t enough for this Philodendron. If you can’t find any other place, you can use grow lights, which are readily available on Amazon.
A south-facing window receives a lot of bright light, and intense sunlight can easily reach the leaves there. I recommend placing sheer curtains over the window to protect the leaves from the strong midday sun.
A west or east-facing window should fulfill the light requirements of your splendid Philodendron. The morning sun will reach the plant, but won’t burn it, and the intense sun won’t reach it during the day.
If your splendid Philodendron is leggy and displays stunted growth, check if it’s receiving enough light.
On the other hand, if the leaves are scorched and the plant is wilting, it’s most likely receiving too much light. Only variegated Philodendron species require more light.
The Splendid Philodendron doesn’t like too much light, but it adores high humidity! Anything less than 50% will harm your precious Philodendron, and you will not like what you see.
I recommend keeping the humidity level above 60%.
As this humidity level isn’t typical for homes, you’ll need to boost it artificially. I have a few methods to help you get the perfect humidity level for your splendid Philodendron.
Before trying the method below, I suggest getting a hygrometer to measure humidity accurately.
Method 1: Microclimate
Creating a microclimate may seem complicated, but it’s actually the easiest way to raise humidity.
If you grow other houseplants, like Monsteras, you’ll be happy to hear that placing your splendid Philodendron next to other plants will benefit them both.
The water will evaporate from the soil and raise the humidity level.
I love this method as my plants look even more beautiful when they are hanging out together.
Method 2: Pebble Tray
The question is, do pebble trays increase humidity? If the humidity level in your household is too low, the pebble tray method alone won’t be enough.
But it’s possible to raise humidity further by combining it with other methods.
Pebble trays look great underneath pots, and are affordable. The fact that there are DIY versions makes this method even more attractive.
Get a shallow container, put pebbles in it, pour some water in, and place your splendid Philodendron on it.
The roots of this Philodendron are very sensitive and can be severely damaged if they come into contact with water.
When using the pebble tray method, please make sure that the roots aren’t ever sitting in water.
Method 3: Two Pots
For the two-pot method, you’ll obviously need two pots. Still, the original pot for your Philodendron splendid should be smaller than the other one.
If you have a mature splendid Philodendron, it may be pretty hard to lift it, so consider using another method if lifting a 5 foot plant isn’t your cup of tea.
If your splendid Philodendron is in its early growth stages, place it in a larger pot with sphagnum moss in the bottom. Wet the sphagnum moss so that the water evaporates and your splendid Philodendron gets more humidity.
Method 4: Humid Room
When buying houseplants, people like to place them in living rooms or bedrooms.
However, indoor plants can also be placed in bathrooms or kitchens. They’ll make great additions to these rooms, and they’ll also benefit from the high water evaporation in bathrooms and kitchens . Your splendid Philodendron will receive plenty of humidity if placed in these areas.
Method 5: Humidifier
The last method doesn’t include lifting or DIY skills. The safest way to raise humidity, especially for beginners, is by using a humidifier.
Of course, a humidifier is more expensive than pots or pebbles, but the fact you won’t have to worry about humidity any longer makes it worth it!
The Ideal Temperature
Tropical plants thrive in warmer temperatures, and the splendid Philodendron is no exception.
The perfect temperature range for a splendid Philodendron is from 65 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit.
This Philodendron won’t be damaged by slightly lower or higher temperatures, but problems will arise if they drop below 50 degrees Fahrenheit.
There are certain places to avoid putting a splendid Philodendron. First, make sure your Philodendron isn’t near any fireplaces, heating vents, or radiators.
Temperature fluctuations can quickly harm your splendid Philodendron, so pay attention to this when choosing the right spot.
You should also avoid spots near cooling vents and air conditioners because cold drafts are extremely dangerous to a splendid Philodendron.
Best Potting Mix
Your splendid Philodendron requires well-draining soil and hates overly saturated soil, so you should pay close attention to the materials used in the potting mix.
You can use an aroid soil blend or similar loamy and fertile soil types to enhance drainage and ensure good aeration. This is also the best way to avoid water pooling.
The Splendid Philodendron grows in fertile soil that contains decaying materials in its natural habitat. As a result, regular garden soil is not an alternative because it has insufficient aeration for indoor plants.
There are a couple of materials you can use to provide good aeration and drainage, such as perlite, pumice, orchid bark, compost based on loam, and similar materials.
I combine peat moss, perlite or pumice, and orchid bark, and cover the blend with worm castings.
The Splendid Philodendron thrives in slightly acidic potting soil, and I always add compost to slightly raise the pH levels.
How And When To Water A Splendid Philodendron
There are several factors that affect the watering schedule of a splendid Philodendron.
First, this Philodendron starts its growing season in the early spring, so its watering needs will increase due to active growth. Once the winter approaches, you should wait longer between waterings.
Other factors to consider include temperature, humidity, light level, and soil type. Warmer temperatures will promote water evaporation from the splendid Philodendron soil, so you’ll need to water it more often.
Low humidity reduces water evaporation, which means that you’ll need to cut back on watering.
A rule of thumb is to water your splendid Philodendron once the top 2-3 inches of soil are dry.
The Splendid Philodendron, just like other plants from the aroid family, is extremely sensitive to overwatering. In fact, the easiest way to kill a Philodendron is by overwatering it.
Later in the article, you’ll find out more about the consequences of overwatering.
Another watering issue is underwatering. Remember, the soil should never be soggy or completely dried out. Unfortunately, the splendid Philodendron isn’t drought-tolerant.
How To Avoid Watering Issues
Here are a couple of tips for you to avoid watering issues:
1. Always check moisture levels in the splendid Philodendron soil. You can use your finger, a wooden stick, or a moisture meter to check soil moisture.
2. Don’t use all the water you prepared at once: pour gradually to allow the soil to absorb enough water.
3. Pots with drainage holes are your best friends now. Stop watering as soon as the water starts coming out of them.
4. Make sure the Philodendron splendid pot isn’t too large or too small; your goal is to avoid both water pooling and the plant becoming root bound.
The Splendid Philodendron only displays growth during the growing season, which is why it needs food during this period.
However, feeding it too often can result in fertilizer burn, so I recommend only applying fertilizer monthly.
When it comes to the fertilizer type, you’ll need a balanced fertilizer such as triple 20. Don’t forget to dilute it to half strength as it may be too harsh for your splendid Philodendron.
Potting & Repotting
The Splendid Philodendron doesn’t like being rootbound, so you’ll need to repot it every other year. Stunted growth and roots coming out of the drainage holes are indicators of a rootbound plant.
Before you start repotting, prepare the following:
1. A new pot: it should be slightly bigger than the one your splendid Philodendron is currently in. Around 2 inches larger in diameter will suffice.
2. Fresh soil: your splendid Philodendron will certainly benefit from new nutrients, and you’ll also help prevent contamination.
3. Cutting tools: always check the health condition of the roots, and if some are damaged you can remove them using sanitized tools.
Take your splendid Philodendron out of the pot and place it in a new soil mix. Once the transplant is complete, water the soil thoroughly.
The Splendid Philodendron is a climber, so it will need support.
I recommend staking your Philodendron with a moss pole or something similar.
You’ll also need something to secure the plant to the support structure; I always use twist ties.
The Splendid Philodendron has large leaves that must be cleaned from time to time.
They look less breathtaking when dust collects on them, and may also trick you into thinking that your Philodendron has white spots or paleć leaves, so clean them regularly.
Philodendron Verrucosum x Melanochrysum: Propagation
There is an excellent way to get even more of these rare plants! Luckily, the splendid Philodendron is easy to propagate, which is another reason this plant is so great for beginner gardeners.
The best way to propagate the splendid Philodendron is through stem cuttings. You can root the cuttings in water or plant them directly in the soil.
Let’s learn about both ways!
Stem Cuttings In Water
For water propagation, you’ll need to prepare a healthy splendid Philodendron, a sharp and sanitized pair of shears (use bleach or rubbing alcohol), and a jar or clear vase.
Here are the steps for water propagation:
1. Select a cutting on your splendid Philodendron that has a node attached. Make an incision with sanitized shears.
2. Fill a jar/vase with lukewarm, filtered water, and submerge the cutting in it. Pay attention to nodes because at least one should be immersed in water.
3. Place the rooting medium with the splendid Philodendron cutting in bright indirect light.
4. Change water in the jar every 2 to 3 days to prevent the splendid Philodendron cutting from rotting.
5. New growth typically appears in a few weeks. Once you spot new roots, transplant them into adequate potting soil.
Stem Cuttings In Soil
If you decide to root the splendid Philodendron stem cuttings in soil, prepare a new potting mix, a sharp pair of pruners, and a rooting hormone.
Here are the steps for soil propagation of the splendid Philodendron:
1. Take the cuttings the same way as for water propagation.
2. Fill the container with a potting mix. I recommend mixing peat moss, perlite, orchid bark, and worm castings.
3. Poke a hole in the center of the soil large enough to fit the splendid Philodendron cutting.
4. Put the cutting in the hole and add soil if necessary.
5. Place the container in bright indirect light and warm temperatures.
6. The roots will appear after a couple of weeks, so make sure all conditions are appropriate.

Your splendid Philodendron can be affected by certain pests and diseases, and will display changes as a result of inappropriate conditions.
Let’s find out more!
Pest infestations aren’t uncommon, and you will most likely deal with one if you grow many houseplants. Pests aren’t dangerous in small numbers, but if they form a colony, you’re in trouble.
If you spot any pest species in time, you can easily remove them and prevent them from damaging your splendid Philodendron.
If the infestation becomes severe, removing all the pests will take a lot of time.
You can expect to find spider mites, mealybugs, and aphids on the large leaves of your splendid Philodendron.
Here are some characteristics of each pest and how to recognize them.
Spider mites: Soft-bodied insects that leave silky webbing on the leaves. Watch out for spider eggs in the soil of the plant.
Mealybugs: These pests are covered with a cotton-like substance, spread pretty fast, and thrive in humid environments.
Aphids: You can typically find aphids on the undersides of leaves. They usually gather in large groups, mainly affect new growth, and drink plant juices, which weakens the plant.
How To Remove Pests
Here is a list of the best cures for pest infestation:
1. Insecticidal soap: Mix the soap with water and spray the entire splendid Philodendron.
2. Neem oil: This oil can help you control pests during flowering. Follow the instructions and your splendid Philodendron will be pest-free in no time.
3. Rubbing alcohol: Another common method for pest removal. Rub it on the leaves or dilute it with water and spray it over the splendid Philodendron.
Although the splendid Philodendron isn’t prone to many diseases, it’s not completely disease-free.
The most common is root rot. Leaf spot rarely occurs unless some other plant is affected.
Your splendid Philodendron will most likely get root rot if it’s overwatered.
Check the root system if you notice any of the symptoms of root rot, such as yellowing, browning, mushy soil, or a bad smell.
Remove the rotting roots of your splendid Philodendron with sanitized tools. Apply fungicide, and repot the plant using the tips above.
Leaves Turning Yellow
Here is a list of the possible causes of yellow leaves:
1. Overwatering: Yellow leaves mainly develop if the soil is overly saturated, and typically signify root rot.
2. Direct sunlight or low light: Always check the light levels if the large leaves start turning yellow.
3. Underwatering: If your splendid Philodendron is dehydrated it will display yellowing.
4. Low humidity: If there’s not enough humidity, the soil retains too much water, attracts fungus, develops root rot, and the leaves turn yellow.
Here is a list of possible causes of brown leaves:
1. Watering issues: When your splendid Philodendron lacks water, its velvety leaves may turn brown. If you notice brown spots, you may have overwatered your plant.
2. Temperature stress: If the temperatures are above 90 degrees Fahrenheit, your splendid Philo may go through temperature stress and display browning.
3. Fertilizer burns: If you feed your splendid Philodendron with too much or an inadequate fertilizer, the leaves will get burned.
Curling, Wilting, And Drooping
If your Philodendron splendid lacks water, it will display many symptoms.
First, you’ll notice that the leaves have started to curl to try and save water by reducing their surface.
If your Philo is severely dehydrated, it may start drooping and wilting, and eventually die off.
Is The Philodendron Splendid Toxic?
Yes, the splendid Philodendron is toxic to humans and pets, just like all plants from this genus.
They contain insoluble calcium oxalates, and if you, your children, or your pets ingest the leaves, the crystals will activate.
Oral irritation, swelling, and a burning sensation are all consequences of this toxin.
What Is A Philodendron El Choco Red?
The Philodendron el choco red is another species from the Philodendron genus. It’s a desired plant of many growers as it has red, velvety leaves when juvenile.
This fast-growing climber may reach 3 feet tall if all requirements are met. It’s very similar to Philodendron verrucosum, and requires similar conditions.
What Is The Price Of A Philodendron Splendid?
The regular price of a splendid Philodendron ranges from $40 to $100, depending on the site or store you are purchasing it from.
It may be challenging to find this plant, so don’t miss the chance when you come upon one.
If you are looking for a beautiful and low-maintenance plant, the splendid Philodendron species is perfect for you!
It’s one of the most fascinating plants from the Philodendron genus, and one of the most interesting members of the entire Araceae family.
This unique hybrid will make any place prettier, but pay attention to where you put it because it’s toxic, so keep it away from toddlers and pets.
Until next time!

09 Jun Jada: Hoffman Harvesting moves to Kiowa, KS
Today we moved from Olney, TX to Kiowa, KS. It is approximately a 300 mile trip but seems to take FOREVER when traveling with wide loads on narrow roads. By the time we were done settling up with Olney Fuel, the campground and found out our broken down truck wasn’t going to be able to come with us, it was 11 a.m. before we hit the road. We didn’t get to Kiowa until 6 p.m. The journey was long because of the temperature being in the high 90’s as well as narrow roads and bridges. Our wideloads have to yield to bridges that are narrow when traffic is coming. When it is a busy road, it takes awhile to get past them. I am including a video of us crossing the Oklahoma/ Kansas border. Kiowa is located at the border. However, to my dismay the crew didn’t slow down like I thought they would. I guess they were excited as I was to be in Kiowa. Hopefully you still enjoy the video.
