I've heard a lot of people say "if you've seen one western, you've seen 'em all." After seeing a bunch of John Wayne movies, I was inclined to agree. After seeing "The Missing"....I'm still inclined to agree.
This is a movie that features great actors giving good performances for a pretty bad story. To be brief about it, Tommy Lee Jones plays the father of Cate Blanchett's character, who shows up at her doorstep years after abandoning the family to live among the Indians. Blanchett has become a well established doctor in 1885 New Mexico, and wants nothing to do with him, or her two daughters, or her sex toy.
Blanchett's oldest daughter Lilly, (Evan Rachel Wood) is quite horomonal, and eventually she and her younger sister Dot are accompanied into town by Cate's boyfriend for a "future" show. Along the way, they get attacked by Indians, leaving two people dead, Miss Wood kidnapped, and Dot left screaming in the woods for mommy.
In short, Cate enlists Tommy Lee Jones to help track the Indians down and stop them from selling her daughter (along with several other girls) into prostitution in Mexico. Dot, of course, is brought along for the ride since "she would've just followed us anyway"
This leads to a couple of pretty intense battle scenes, and a lot of slow moving scenes with little but dialogue designed to try to make us feel for the family.
But yet we can't feel for the family, as we know nothing is going to happen to the daughter! There is one scene where she gets loose from her rope, frees another woman, attempts to ride away on a horse, gets caught, and gets kicked and whipped a few times as punishment.
Totally not believable, especially with the other stuff going on in that scene, which I won't get into details about.
The film is a long journey of close calls, near misses, and poorly written dialogue that leaves you wondering why you should care for these characters.
Still, the actors did very very well with what they were given, and Ron Howard, as usual, directed the heck out of this film. There are a lot of very gorgeous shots in this one.
It gets a solid B out of me.
Ron Howard has come a long way from his days as Opie in Mayberry. The sceneery is breathtaking, and the cast is outstanding. Tommy Lee Jones is a perfect fit for the father "gone Indian", while Cate Blanchett gives a solid performance as a woman holding her own in the wilderness. The outstanding performance in my mind is given by Eric Schweig as Chidin, the evil Apache witch. His acting is second to none in this film, a very convincing visual treat. Jenna Boyd is excellent as Dot, the younger daughter who goes on the chase with her mother and grandfather.
This is a bit rough to watch in some places, a bit brutal, but then the west was a brutal place full of conflict and death, and spirits. Anyone who thinks the witchcraft aspect of this movie is over the top should enlighten themselves about the Indians' beliefs about the spirit world. To this day, there are still "good" medicine men, and "bad" medicine men, and this movie is in no way anti-Indian for depicting this.
This movie is about the eternal struggle of good vs. evil, very well done.
In 19th-century New Mexico, a father (Tommy Lee Jones) comes back home, hoping to reconcile with his adult daughter Maggie (Cate Blanchett). Maggie's daughter is kidnapped, forcing father and estranged daughter to work together to get her back.
This is a great movie Tommy Lee Jones and Cate Blanchett are superb in this film. This film is graphic no sex but has torcher in it. a must for your DVD Collection.....
This is a first rate Western with Tommy Lee Jones in the role of a neglectful father who comes back to help his daughter recover her kidnapped daughter from renegades. The setting is New Mexico in the nineteenth century and the depiction is not the all too typical romantic west.
The action scenes are vivid... with lots of violence. The ending is suitable for a movie of this genre.
I bought this movie because I liked the idea of indian lore in it ( even if it is Hollywood) Tommy Lee Jones is a very seasoned actor and was right for the part. Cate Blanchet also did a good job of being the wronged daughter by her father for neglecting her and her mother when she was young . The fact that he finally shows up ( just in time ) when he is needed is a plus as well especially with a child being kidnaped . I do enjoy movies that have just about anything to do with Indians , Hollywood or not , I can figure out fact from fiction myself. Thank you ELaine Repoza

There’s good news for governments as they continue the shift to renewable energy, and possibly a bonus for consumers too. A global survey of 140 experts has concluded that the cost of wind energy will continue to fall due to technological and commercial advances.
In the report published in the Nature Energy journal, the experts led by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) anticipated cost reductions ranging between 17% and 35% by 2035, and between 37% and 49% by 2050 against 2019 baseline values.
The key technological advance will be the creation of larger, more efficient wind turbines. These will be cheaper to create and operate and help to drive the costs down. By 2035, the experts predict that average onshore turbines to be 5.5MW, and offshore wind turbines 17MW.
“Wind has experienced accelerated cost reductions in recent years, both onshore and offshore, making previous cost forecasts obsolete,” said Ryan Wiser, senior scientist at Berkeley Lab.
“All else being equal, these trends will enable wind to play a larger role in global energy supply than previously thought while facilitating energy-sector decarbonisation,” said co-author Joachim Seel.


Advanced ICU Care was at the center of a Times article Monday discussing the effectiveness and growth of tele-ICUs, such as those operated by Advanced ICU Care. Despite the growth, sources cited in the article question whether tele-ICUs are truly effective at caring for patients from a distance.
Taking advantage of today’s technology, tele-ICUs allow doctors to care for and monitor some of the nation’s sickest patients from hundreds of miles away. Doctors working in an office in New York City can scan dozens of computer monitors to check in on patients at different hospitals all across the nation.
While many hospitals previously invested in setting up their own tele-ICU centers, some are now pulling the plug on those investments, according to the Times.
But Advanced ICU Care networks with smaller hospitals, and from New York City, its instensivists, or critical care specialists, monitor some of the sickest patients, which allows those hospitals to continue to care for some of the more “lucrative” patients, according to the Times. Dr. Mary Jo Gorman, founder and president of Advanced ICU Care, told the Times that keeping these patients means an additional $2,000 to $3,000 per patient for these hospitals after paying yearly fees of between $750,000 and $2 million to work with Advanced ICU Care.
Advanced ICU Care also has a branch in Chennai, India.
Some of the St. Louis area’s largest hospitals have also invested in this health care trend. Mercy plans to open a $90 million virtual care center in Chesterfield that will operate around the clock to provide health care remotely using video and audio technology.

Swipe cards will appear in between Tinder members' stack of potential matches, which will redirect the users to a registration page.
“Tinder is thrilled to partner with Netflix to offer this generation’s hopeful romantics a chance to go after a flame that can’t be put out,” said Taru Kapoor, GM, Tinder and Match Group, India. “Right from the casting process to its distinctive dating format, this show brings to the table, an opportunity to experience new connections, some heartbreaks, unmatched chemistry and a whole lot of fun. With Tinder’s diverse community of young singletons actively looking for real sparks, this show will provide them with exactly that and more. It’s a perfect match!”
Tanya Bami, Director, International Originals, Netflix India, said, “’IRL: In Real Love’ is an indigenous dating format and the association with Tinder will help us keep it as real as the times today.”
According to Bami, authenticity is key to any reality series and Tinder will help Netflix find a cast whose preferences and choices will enable the streaming platform to understand the everyday dating conundrums.

Thanks for your rich insights. However, I think the issue goes beyond different experts blaming corrupt politicians. Africans who have been exposed to other parts of the world, like you and me, have to rise up and be counted. We can start leading transformation in our small ways from wherever we are. It is easy to blame politicians as if they are standing in the way of predictable progress yet the entire society should play its role.
I am glad that your passion is information transfer which is very important in changing lives. In almost all African countries including big economies like Nigeria and South Africa, why is nutrition knowledge still locked in academia and health institutions? There have not been efforts to develop appropriate ways of sharing nutrition knowledge with the majority, except students studying medicine and other related sciences. In health institutions knowledge about nutrition is still locked in health personnel who can only share it through surgeries, clinics and hospitals when they give prescriptions to patients. Unless you become a patient you don’t access some of the knowledge.
There have not been meaningful efforts to increase ordinary people's awareness of nutrition issues. Pathways of simplifying and localizing science and nutrition are still missing. We have not developed appropriate terminologies that people can relate to in their daily lives. For instance, terms like Iron, Zinc and Vitamins A, B, C, D and other labels do not have local equivalent explanations. It means we are still using imported knowledge and terminologies. Ordinary people wonder what is the difference between Iron as steel and Iron as nutrition or whether these are related. What is the difference between Zinc as nutrition and Zinc as roofing material?
When their relative is admitted in hospital, people bring bananas, oranges, apples and other fruits for the patient with no idea of what these fruits have in terms of nutrition and what they contribute to the patient’s healing process. They are not informed from a nutrition perspective. Otherwise, they would also bring other wild fruits or tubers with equivalent nutritional components if they knew the science behind the nutrition.
Consumers and patients have a lot of unanswered questions and in the absence of clear answers, they end up depending on beliefs and trusting the people giving them prescriptions. Simplifying science to be part of ordinary people’s daily lives does not require foreign currency or a politician giving us instructions.

Oscar Isaac is on the cover of Rolling Stone, and while the article is a straight-up profile, we do learn a few things about The Force Awakens:
All of the funny lines – including one about Poe being unable to hear Adam Driver’s Kylo Ren through his helmet, and the “who talks first” exchange – were added in reshoots, and Isaac improvised some of them. He’s always pushing to complicate and deepen Poe, who started as little more than a charming archetype. “We’re making shit up as we go,” he says.
As for Episode VII:
“In the new film, there’s a lot more to do,” Isaac says. “What happens now is the heroes get tested. All three of them” – Poe, Daisy Ridley’s Rey and John Boyega’s Finn – “get tested immensely.” And how’s BB-8 doing? “BB-8’s doing all right. BB-8 gets tested too! Everybody gets tested! It’s the dark second chapter, but not really dark.”
Jedi Bibliothek spotted preview pages for Rogue One: The Official Visual Guide Story on Edelweiss, which reveals several character names and new vehicles – plus our first clear look at two new aliens and the droid glimpsed briefly in the trailer. These may be considered spoilerly, so check out what we’ve learned under the cut.
We review what #WearStarWarsEveryDay is up to for the second week of May! And we start off with a bang – some really cool biker scout trooper armor! We also had one donation to Collateral Repair Project in this week, and a whole bunch of folks who lent clothing to cover me every day of the week! Thanks to Todd of the Imperial Sands Garrison of the 501st Legion for the helping me fit into his scouttrooper armor, and him, Paul, Darren, James, and Mike for letting me borrow shirts (and even a hockey jersey). This review for Week 19 covers May 6 to May 12 of my wearathon, and an update on fundraising for Collateral Repair Project, a non-profit organization that provides emergency assistance, education, and community support to urban refugees.
Celebration Europe has added Carrie Fisher as a spotlight guest, and reporter/podcaster Amy Ratcliffe as host of the Behind-the-Scenes Stage. She joins returning stage hosts Warwick Davis and David Collins.
Mark Hamill went all out for the photographers, but his costars were less gregarious. Director Johnson and Daisy Ridley are no surprise, but the fourth person joining them may be, so click at your own risk.
→ Though Malin Head is the only known filming location in Northern Ireland, there are several in Ireland now – SWNN has a map.
→ John Boyega picked up a Chopard Trophy at the Cannes Film Festival yesterday, (alongside Bel Powley, who was rumored for a VIII role at one point) and even found time for a couple of interviews. With Variety he discussed Finn and Rey and described VIII as “a different take, darker, bigger” than The Force Awakens. At Vulture, he has nothing but praise for new costar Kelly Marie Tran.
→ Meanwhile, Oscar Isaac and his Poe Dameron haircut are doing publicity for X-Men: Apocalypse. To Collider he says “Poe has a lot of love to give,” while he tells Entertainment Tonight that VII characters will get “tested intensely.”

Pokémon GO, the augmented-reality game for iOS and Android by developer Niantic, is about to get a lot more exciting this week with the release of 50 Pokémon and weather coniditons – both which originally appeared in Pokémon Ruby & Sapphire!
“Starting later this week, Treecko, Torchic, Mudkip, and several more Pokémon originally discovered in the Hoenn region in the Pokémon Ruby and Pokémon Sapphire video games will start appearing in Pokémon GO for the first time ever—with even more to be discovered over the next several weeks! We’ll also be introducing a new dynamic weather system in Pokémon GO that will change the way you and the millions of Trainers around the world discover, catch, and interact with Pokémon.
You’ll want to start paying even closer attention to your local weather patterns, Trainers. In addition to the in-game map being updated with cool new weather visuals, weather near you will impact Pokémon in a variety of ways. For example, you’ll find your odds of discovering Mudkip splashing around will greatly improve on rainy days, as certain Pokémon types will be more commonly found during various weather conditions. Additionally, attacks of certain types will be more effective during some weather conditions, so a Charizard’s Fire Spin will perform better on sunny days, for example. Rain or shine, winter or spring, your gameplay experience will remain fresh, making your time outdoors even more exciting.”
The weather conditions in Pokémon GO come with following effects:
- Sunny (default) – Grass, Ground, & Fire-types get increased damage and spawn rates
- Rainy – Water, Electric, & Bug-types get increased damage and spawn rates
- Snowy – Ice & Steel-types get increased damage and spawn rates
- Foggy – Ghost & Dark-types get increased damage and spawn rates
- Windy – Dragon, Flying, & Psychic-types get increased damage and spawn rates
In addition to the Gen III excitement, Ho-Oh’s reign as a Legendary Raid Boss has been extended an extra 48 hours and will now be available until December 14th, 1pm PST!
What Gen III buddy are you hoping to catch? For me it’s gotta be SEEDOT!

This is another first for me, working from a movie. This is intended to portray emotion of the moment although it turned out quite close in terms of form to the frame I was using as reference.
A quick explanation of what's going on: Based on a scene from the movie Minority Report. It depicts John Anderton, a drug addicted and mentally scarred cop who runs a police department called pre-crime who use psychics to predict & prevent murders, he is driven to help develop pre-crime by the unsolved murder of his son six years earlier.
In the scene he is about to avenge his son by killing Leo Crow, the man he believes abducted and murdered him. He knows this action has been predicted to happen by the psychics and if he suceeds in committing the murder he will destroy not only himself but everything he has worked for in Pre-crime. Holding Crow at gunpoint he struggles with himself, his wrath and desire for vengence against his duty as a dedicated cop.....Choices eh?
I used the still from the movie as a reference to get the basic form of this, but once that was done it was mostly down to trying to 'feel' the emotion of the moment which was tough, surprisingly tiring. "Goodbye Crow......BLAM"

Deference and Deceit
By sean mcnulty
Geissel was the only one eating. There was a plate before him smothered with meat and bread and a big pot of tea he was regularly going back to for refills and his roman collar had refashioned itself as a mucky bib and all of this was winning his attention (or the most of it) that morning; but Walter’s enigmatic references put the career priest’s esuriency on hold. His eyes dilated excitedly as though there was a world of underground sophists out there and it was so closed off and secretive that none of them ever got to meet each other until now.
Littlewood on the other hand was less than impressed with Walter’s talk of talking icebergs and whatnot. If he wasn’t intolerant enough already regarding the man’s clothes and face and eyeballs and the general look of him, these sudden interventions of claptrap didn’t help matters. What sort of shitetalk is he talking at all?
‘What kind of....what do you mean?’ asked the captain.
‘Don’t mind him,’ Katrine said. ‘He has been speaking in riddles ever since – ‘
She paused for a moment, became more solemn and then continued, softly: ‘Ever since she left us.’
She lowered her head slowly and the gentleman captain had no other option but to respond with a respectful silence.
There it was – exactly as Masterson had advised. Katrine brazenly sought to exploit her own grief and Walter’s grief, the captain’s grief, and any other grief hanging around in order to get her way. Shocking. At least it was shocking to Stinson anyway. Geissel was once again too busy with his grub to notice and Masterson meanwhile was sitting alone at the adjacent table with his back turned to them all; nevertheless he was grinning with a sack of pride as Katrine embarked on the deeply unfilial and irreverent con he had influenced.
Coming out of the brief deferential moment Katrine had elicited from him, Littlewood turned to his ‘theocratic’ shipmates and asked: ‘What about you three and your papal mission? You’re willing to delay or postpone or even cancel it altogether so as to go perform a very heathen funeral on some Christforsaken island in the middle of nowhere?’
Stinson: ‘I don’t mind.’
Geissel: ‘Not a bother.’
And Masterson just flopped his arm up, a passive gesture that neither endorsed the notion nor objected to it.
Jokers, thought Littlewood. No wonder they had been flung out of their own country. God’s work wasn’t getting a look-in today. Maybe it never got a look-in. They seemed to have drifted into a mission not a single person had planned. Littlewood could have suggested they pack it all in right now and go to East Berlin to help the workers fight the Soviets and they would have said ‘Not a bother.’

The Story Behind Elton John’s ‘Rocket Man’
Inspiration is impossible to predict. Lyricist Bernie Taupin was tooling down an English road in the early '70s when the opening lyrics to one of Elton John’s most enduring hits, "Rocket Man (I Think It's Going to Be a Long, Long Time)," appeared fully formed in his brain.
“With ‘Rocket Man,’ the first two lines came to me when I was driving along, and by the time I’d gotten home, I’d written the song in my head,” Taupin told Rolling Stone in 1973. “I got inside and had to rush and write it all down before I’d forgotten it.”
Today, it seems impossible that anyone could forget a song like “Rocket Man,” one of the most enduring classics to come from the Taupin/John songwriting partnership. Released as the lead-off single from John’s 1972 album Honky Chateau, the song reached No. 2 in the U.K. and No. 6 on the U.S. charts. It arrived on the scene in a moment when the mere idea of “rocket men” had captured the popular imagination.
The U.S. landed its first manned mission to the moon in July of 1969, and the last landed back on Earth in December 1972. Within that timeframe came three iconic songs about traveling the stars: “Rocket Man,” David Bowie’s “Space Oddity,” and Harry Nilsson’s “Spaceman.” With Bowie’s song hitting first (just a scant 10 days before the actual moon landing), it’s been assumed that “Oddity” inspired Taupin’s bolt of inspiration while driving.
“People identify it, unfortunately, with David Bowie’s ‘Space Oddity,’” Taupin said in an interview for John’s YouTube channel in 2016. “But it was actually inspired by a story by Ray Bradbury, from his book of science fiction short stories called The Illustrated Man. In that book, there was a story called ‘The Rocket Man,’ which was about how astronauts in the future would become sort of an everyday job. So I kind of took that idea and ran with that.”
As always, the musical portion came quickly for John, who spent January 1972 at the Chateau d’Herouville in France with Taupin and the band to cut Honky Chateau. Each morning, John would set up shop at a piano in the chateau’s breakfast space. In his room upstairs, Taupin would peck away at lyrics. The words would travel downstairs, and within 30 minutes, classics like “Rocket Man” would be complete. Later in the day, John would record with the band. The pair wrote nine songs in three days this way.
“We were all on the money musically and for me the music always comes first—the music can really express the inexpressible if you let it,” John told Mojo in 1997, about Honky Chateau. “It was a pretty easy song to write the melody to, because it’s a song about space, so it’s quite a spacious song.”
Like the rest of Honky Chateau, “Rocket Man” was recorded with the core of John’s touring band at the time, the first time he’d taken them into the studio as his core group of musicians. Previously, his label insisted on session players instead. Rounding out the rhythm section of bassist Dee Murray and drummer Nigel Olsson would be versatile guitarist Davey Johnstone, just a fresh-faced kid of 20 when he played on Chateau. Johnstone would become a key member of John’s musical team, playing more than 2,000 shows with him and becoming his musical director.
“Space Oddity” is a staple on classic rock radio, and “Spaceman” has its fans, but “Rocket Man” seems like it will last forever. Why has “Rocket Man” endured when its space-themed musical peers have faded into comparative obscurity?
Maybe it’s the humanity in Taupin’s lyrics. Rather than focusing on the sci-fi trappings of space travel, he zeroes in on the mundane reality of a man who has to pack his bags, leave behind his family, and trek off into the inky void, as casually as one might grab a taxi into the city. Where Bowie aims for the surreal and Nilsson plays for laughs, Taupin finds a quiet loneliness in his “Rocket Man.”
That was cold comfort to Bowie, who was none too happy to see his re-released “Space Oddity” leapfrogged on the charts by “Rocket Man” in 1973. But it’s hard to feel too bad; as his wife Angie noted at the time, “Other people can sing about space travel, too.”

Prepare, Don’t Panic: daily habits to keep your family healthy (Part 1)
In the past year and a half, everyone has had one thing on their minds: how can I keep my family healthy? For me, it’s important to not just keep my family healthy, but to do it naturally. We will use pharmaceutical products when necessary, but they aren’t our first go-to. In the last ten years, I’ve learned so much about natural remedies, supplements, oils, herbs, and even foods we can use to stay healthy. You can read more about my journey to wellness HERE. In this series, I’m going to share products and tips that will help keep your immune system strong before illness hits as well as what we use when we are under the weather.
What can you do everyday to keep your family healthy?
Disclaimer: I am not a doctor and this is not medical advice. I am just sharing what we do in our home to keep our family healthy, based on my own research and experience. Please always do your own research and consult your own doctor with any concerns you may have. This post contains affiliate links.
Instead of just waiting until you get sick, start by keeping your body strong now. If you look at this list and think “Wow, this is overwhelming – I can’t do all of these things!” Then begin with one and add more as you go. I also share all these tips with ZERO judgment about where you are on your health journey. Wherever you are now, you can take steps forward. Every single change you make toward your health makes an impact! So instead of feeling overwhelmed, let yourself feel empowered by the actions you can take now.
The rest of the series is going to dive into more specific products, but we have to start out with the basic foundation of health. These are steps that anyone can take today!
Go outside daily.
Going outside is incredibly important for your health – the Vitamin D, the fresh air, the mood boost… there are so many benefits. Even 10-15 minutes a day (especially in the middle of the day, at the peak of the sun) impacts your health and helps your body absorb Vitamin D. So make it a goal to get outside, even in the winter. A quick walk around the block, sit on the back porch with your tea, watch your kids playing at the park or on your backyard swingset… any little bit of time outside is good for your body.
Move your body.
There is SO much research that connects moving your body with your immune health. Moving your body doesn’t have to mean vigorous exercise, so you could just take a brief walk, work in your garden for an hour, shovel snow, or chase your kids around the house playing tickle monster. ;) If you’re able, do short bursts of more intense exercise like hiking, jogging, or walking on a treadmill.
Eat real foods.
Food is medicine. What you eat can either fuel your body or keep it from working properly. Processed foods are harmful to your immune system, so avoiding ingredients like sugar, food dyes, high fructose corn syrup, and artificial ingredients will help your body to be at its optimal health.
If you’re used to eating foods from boxes and bags, start with one meal or one snack. Replace it with a food that your great grandmother would have recognized (think: foods you could grow or find a farmers’ market).
And while you’re eating food that fuels your body, make sure you drink a lot of water too. :)
Avoid harmful ingredients.
If you look around your house right now, you will likely find common things like air fresheners, cleaning products, candles, fabric softener, shampoo, lotion, toothpaste… but did you know that all of these things contain ingredients that could be potentially harmful to your body? And these ingredients DO have an impact on your immune system.
Without doing a deep dive into all the harmful ingredients, I’ll mention a few to look for on the common products you use in your home:
These ingredients disrupt your endocrine system, are known to contain carcinogens, and are overall just incredibly harmful to your everyday health. What kinds or products contain these ingredients? Well… basically everything (see the short list above). Nearly everything you have in your home contains these ingredients. You are either putting them onto your body (and absorbing them into your bloodstream) or inhaling them. Swapping out your everyday products for healthier versions will make a huge impact on your health.
Get good sleep.
Sleeps is when your body recovers and rebuilds, so getting good quality, regular sleep helps keep your body healthy.
Do things that bring you joy.
Your mental, emotional, and spiritual health also impacts your physical health. If you are stressed, your immune system will be suppressed and your body will not be able to handle an illness. Take time everyday to do something that brings you joy: prayer, reading, gardening, sewing, hiking, talking on the phone with a friend. I believe that true joy is found in Jesus, so I make prayer and reading the Bible everyday a priority. Taking care of your body goes beyond the foods you eat or the vitamins you take, so pay attention to your emotional and spiritual health too. This post gives you some great ideas for naturally boosting your mood.
Take vitamins and supplements.
It’s always best to get our vitamins and nutrients from food, but this just doesn’t always happen anymore. Our soil is very depleted of nutrients, and we eat a lot more processed foods that fill our bellies but don’t fuel our bodies. Supplementing with quality, food-based vitamins is the next best thing, especially because you can target any specific needs for your body. Like in the winter, we take more Vitamin D, since we live in Wisconsin and don’t get nearly as much sunshine as we do in the summer. ;)
Where do you begin?
If this entire list feels overwhelming, focus on ONE thing. Take one area at a time, adding more in as you’re able. Slowly swap out your products for ones with cleaner ingredients. Slowly add movement into your day. Slowly change the foods you’re eating to real, whole foods.
Begin in whichever area feels easiest to you, and then move to the next one. Each step you take will make a difference. But the only way you can make changes is just to begin. Take your health and your family’s health into your own hands – you can do this!
PART 2 of this series has a specific list of the vitamins, supplements, and essential oils we use in our home on an everyday basis.

Title: The Dead Will Rise First

Genre: post-apocolyptic, coming of age

A Guest Review by Andrea
Review Summary: An amazingly poignant book which left me emotionally wrecked.
The Christian rapture occurs and the now soulless bodies of Christians are left to terrorize all those left behind. TJ flees across Texas with his best friend, Ryan, and the remnants of his family, hoping for happiness, struggling just to survive. As they trek farther and farther South toward the coast, TJ and Ryan find comfort and love with one another. Their relationship is tested and they labor to stay alive and stay together in a world that God has unfortunately started to pay attention to.
There are only a handful of books, out of the thousands I’ve read, which have had a deep impact on me. The Dead Will Rise First was one of them. No matter how many times I tried to come up with a meaningful and concise description for this book, I just couldn’t do it. I eventually realized that the author says it better than I ever could, here is what he says:
Foremost this book was written to be an entertaining satire and I hope you enjoyed it. However, it was also born of the tragic death of a friend who killed himself after struggling to cope with an opposing identity and religion, and as such, it represents the war within a person as he searches for purpose, God, and love. It is a story about the human condition, and I hope it helps people not feel so alone.
Before I get into my opinion of the book, you should know something about me. I avoid religion based books like the plague. When I pick up a book, I want to be transported and see into someone else’s life. I do not want to be preached at or feel as if my lifestyle is being condemned by an author. As much as I was intrigued by the blurb, I was more than a little worried about the religious tone it would take. If you share these concerns, you have no reason to worry. Religion is a large part of story, but it’s because the characters are questioning their core religious beliefs. At the center of this book is a group of young adults who have been condemned by religious zealots for their beliefs, choices, or actions. The characters don’t all converge on one definitive truth, it’s more about everyone finding what is right for themselves.
If you are looking for an erotic romance or need a HEA ending, this is probably not the book for you. If you are up for a darker read, this may be right up your alley. The soulless Christians left on Earth are hell-bent on causing as much pain and terror on the remaining people as they can. TJ and the group he is traveling with are constantly faced with murders, rapes, torture, and dismemberment. It is bloody and it is graphic.
Now that I’ve reassured everyone about the religious tone, and warned others off because of the bittersweet romance, I’ll tell you what makes this book so amazing. The path TJ finds himself on is a journey of self-discovery which I will never forget. He is faced with trying to understand how the love and hope he feels for Ryan, which feels so pure and right, could possibly be the reason for him being condemned by God. He had already been questioning everything he was raised to believe before the rapture. Now, he is trying to decide if he was wrong to ever believe in any of it in the first place. God was supposed to be loving, but if the state of the Earth is any indication, this God is vicious and cruel. Why would he want to follow a God like that?
The greatest, most powerful part of the book is something I can’t even mention without ruining the book for you. I will say this, the final message filled me with both hope and despair. The afterward did even more to bring the entire tale full circle. I was dumbstruck when I closed the book. I think I was in shock when I finished it. It took a full 15 minutes for me to process everything I was feeling. Trust me when I say that this book is absolutely amazing!

With the onset of Coronavirus, the issue of remote working has been pushed to the forefront for organizations globally.
No longer a question of if employees should be able to work from home in flexible conditions, but rather quickly becoming a mandatory practice. Fortune 1000 companies around the globe are entirely revamping their office spaces to accommodate the fact that employees are already mobile, with studies repeatedly showing that desks are vacant 50-60% of the time. Twitter has also just announced that it is now mandatory for all of its 4900 global employees to stay home, while the story at Google is similar as they advise all employees in North America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa to work from home due to the virus.
With a dramatic increase in remote workers, organizations need to be prepared for an entirely new set of problems and challenges.
Organizations need to adequately monitor data exfiltration, threats, and data flow wherever the user may be based, no matter what device they are using.

Mario Kart 64 and F-Zero X may be completely different types of racing game, but they have more in common than you may think. The popular Mario Kart 64 track Rainbow Road (which has been getting a lot of love in our Mario Kart 64 tracks poll) also made an appearance in Nintendo’s 1998 super-fast sci-fi racing game.
Rainbow Road in F-Zero X features the same layout as in Mario Kart 64, but sports a slightly different look and feel. The course swaps the starry, star-patterned barriers that line it for more mechanical ones that don’t actually run along many portions of the course, making it considerably more dangerous than it was in Mario Kart 64.
The neon-lit displays of the Mario Kart 64 cast no longer appear in the distance either – this version of track is more understated, and a bit more in keeping with F-Zero X’s somewhat more serious tone. The bounce mines (that send you flying into the air and potentially off the track) do a good job of reminding you of that.
Nintendo no doubt included Rainbow Road in F-Zero X to make a point about just how fast the game is. Completing three laps of Rainbow Road in F-Zero X will take you around two to two-and-a-half minutes, whereas in Mario Kart 64 you’re looking at five-and-a-half to six minutes.
It’s clear that the track distances are not the same: F-Zero vehicles travel more than 10 times the speed of a kart. But of course if they were exactly the same then Rainbow Road in F-Zero X would have probably been far too difficult.
Mario Kart 64’s famous Rainbow Road shortcut, where you hop over the left barrier near the start of the race and land much farther along the track, cannot be recreated in F-Zero X. The games handle falling off the track very differently, and you only have a very small out-of-bounds areas in F-Zero X before you plummet to the ground. Moreover, falling off actually ends in your vehicle being destroyed and your instant disqualification from the race.
But what about the amazing Rainbow Road N64 music? Sadly, this isn’t present in the standard version of F-Zero X. However, the F-Zero X Expansion Kit, which released exclusively in Japan for the 64DD, adds a F-Zero-inspired version of the music.
Want to experience the F-Zero X Expansion Kit without spending a fortune on a 64DD? The EverDrive 64 lets you play 64DDs without requiring the rare accessory.

This is I think one of his most highly underrated songs. Let's get this straight; this isn't a typical Shadow song with heavy thumping drums. No, this is a moody, acoustic guitar with an interjecting piano among soft instruments. It's beautiful, it's haunting, and it is truly one of a kind.

Do I have to connect half of the amplifiers in antiphase when I use a SMPS3k?
The SMPS3K is intended to power our range of high power amplifier modules, such as UcD2K and NC2K. As a result, this SMPS product does not feature the 2-quadrant operation as most of our other SMPS products do. Therefore, they are unable to handle large reverse currents generated by half-bridge amplifiers operated at low frequencies. For this reason, it is not advisable to use this SMPS to power half bridge amplifiers like our UcD102, UcD180(LP), UcD250LP, UcD400(LP), UcD700, NC400, NC500 and NC1200 modules when used in the frequency range below 100Hz. A workaround for this could be using the half-bridge amplifiers in bridge mode or reversing phase for half of the modules.https://www.diyclassd.com/FAQ-DIYClassD/FAQ-Hypex/Switch-Mode-Power-Supplies/Switch-Mode-Power-Supplies/Do-I-have-to-connect-half-of-the-amplifiers-in-antiphase-when-I-use-a-SMPS3k

Dominica is a beautifully untamed island that features some of the most rugged terrain and spectacular, abundant wildlife in the Caribbean. But, because of its mountainous geography and cliff-covered coastline, it is also one of the most inaccessible islands in the Caribbean, and few non-stop flights are available from the United States and other popular originations. Still, air travel is the most convenient way to reach this eco-paradise.
Two airports are located on the island: Melville Hall Airport and Canefield Airport. Melville Hall is the older and larger of the two airports and is about an hour and a half from Roseau, the country's capital. Canefield, which accommodates small aircrafts mostly offering courier services, is only a 15-minute drive from the capital. Travelers can contact Melville Hall Airport at 767-445-7051 and Canefield Airport at 767-449-1242 on the island. When planning your travels, it is important to know which airport you will fly into so you can schedule your hotel check-in time, pick-up times, and fares accordingly.
When booking airline arrangements, you will receive the best deal if you purchase a round-trip fare instead of a one-way fare because round-trip tickets are almost always less expensive. Also, if you avoid flying during peak times, which include weekends and mornings, you will save on your trip to Dominica. Many of the airlines that fly into Dominica are so small that they don't list all of their flights with travel agents or through on-line travel vendors. If you don't find a flight that suits your specific needs, contact your airline of choice directly to get the full schedule.
No direct flights from North America or Europe are available because both of the island's airports are too small for large aircraft to land. Travelers flying to Dominica must catch a connecting flight to the island. Most visitors pick up their connections from St. Maarten, Antigua, St. Barts, Guadeloupe, Martinique, St. Lucia, and Barbados, as well as from other smaller islands in the Caribbean.
Look below for a complete list of air service from airports in the region. If you can't take a flight directly from your local airport, a connecting flight from a regional airport might be your best option.
|Antigua, Antigua and Barbuda||ANU||LIAT|
|Castries, Saint Lucia||SLU||LIAT|
|Isla Verde, Puerto Rico||SJU||Air Sunshine, LIAT, Seaborne Airlines|
|Pointe a Pitre, Grande-Terre||PTP||Air Antilles Express, LIAT, Winair|
|Santiago De Los Caballeros, The Dominican Republic||STI||LIAT|
|Simpson Bay, The island of St. Martin and Sint Maarten||SXM||Air Sunshine, BVI Airways, LIAT, Winair|
|St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands||STT||Air Sunshine|

You'll notice that all of these airlines are not huge names on the international scene. Up until April of 2013, the better-known American Eagle offered flights to Dominica from Puerto Rico, but this service was replaced by Seaborn. In addition to the airlines listed above, you may also hire a small charter plane to get you to the island.
If you're serious about an air charter, you can call one of the following regional companies:
|(268) 481-2401||V.C. Bird International Airport - 3.5 mi. (5.7 km) East-Northeast of St. John's||Antigua|
|(284) 495-1747||V.C. Bird International Airport - 3.5 mi. (5.7 km) East-Northeast of St. John's||Antigua|
|(664) 491-3434||John A. Osbourne Airport - Montserrat||Montserrat|
|(877) 359-6732||Grantley Adams International Airport - Charnocks||Barbados|
|--||ET Joshua Airport - St. Vincent||St. Vincent|
Because of recent terrorist activity, airlines have increased security measures pertaining to passengers and their baggage. Before boarding, you will pass through additional security checkpoints, which can prevent unwanted problems but can also slow you down. All passengers are advised to arrive at the airport at least one hour prior to the flight's scheduled departure. For international flights, try to arrive at least two hours prior. These tips will help your journey through airport security go more smoothly:
Contact the airport before leaving home to see if your flight is on time.
Keep your government-issued I.D. in an easily accessed area of your carry-on because you may be required to show it more than once for security clearance.
To get through security gates, you must have proof of your ticket. Non-ticketed persons will not be allowed to pass unless accompanying a child, an elderly person, or a person with a disability.
Travelers should avoid wearing metal objects such as steel-toe boots, heavy jewelry, or bulky belt buckles because these items could set off the metal detectors at security checkpoints.
People with metal surgical implants should bring a doctor's note to avoid hold-ups at security gates.
Regulations on carry-on luggage are also stricter, and passengers are no longer permitted to bring items such as metal scissors, razors, and other sharp metal objects aboard aircraft. For a complete list of regulated items, visit the Transportation Security Administration's (TSA) Web site (www.tsa.gov/public/index.jsp) or call 866-289-9673.
Passengers are limited to one carry-on bag and one personal item. Personal items include purses, briefcases, and laptop cases, but the laptop case must contain a laptop.
If you're traveling with food or beverages, it may be easiest to carry on these items rather than check them because some food products could set off bomb detectors and security devices. Also, avoid bringing wrapped gifts because if they set off a security device, they will have to be opened and could be damaged in the process.
Many vacationers find that following a few simple procedures and hopping a connecting flight to Dominica is an easy and convenient way to reach this unspoiled island.
It may be hard when booking your final flight to Dominica, but you should choose an airline you're familiar with when possible. If you're unsure about an airline's reputation, contact the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), which ranks airlines on safety, service and performance. You can reach the FAA at: 800 Independence Ave., SW; Washington D.C., 20591 or via the Internet at www.faa.gov. If you have specific questions or concerns, you can contact FAA regulators about issues or problems:
|Air travel service problems||202-366-2220|
|Aviation safety hotline||800-255-1111|
|Aviation consumer protection division||202-366-2220|

Global risks and a U.S. hiring slowdown warrant a cautious approach to raising interest rates as the Federal Reserve looks for confirmation that the country's economic recovery remains on track, Fed Chair Janet Yellen said Tuesday.Some of those clouds remain, Yellen said in comments that seemed to signal no pressing need for the Fed to raise rates.With a weak global economy, low U.S. productivity and other factors holding down interest rates in the long run, Yellen said the Fed's benchmark overnight interest rate is likely to remain low "for some time".The Fed under Yellen has begun nudging rates higher, but also has steadily downgraded its forecasts of the U.S. economy, delayed expected rate increases, and left investors perplexed about what's influencing its decisions.

People aren't discussing how the Vikings are going to shock the world in the NFC North, but they can take strong measures of improvement with a few key upgrades. One would be on the play of the offensive line.
Last season, C John Sullivan was an anchor, and ORT Phil Loadholt was sometimes a force in the run game. Other than that, there were a lot of ills.
Charlie Johnson was game at left tackle but ultimately overmatched. By moving him to left guard and drafting OLT Matt Kalil, it could make two positions better. So far, Kalil has shown promise along with some nerves and hesitation. Still, insiders believe he will be a solid performer by the end of his rookie campaign.
Other upgrades could happen at right guard, where Anthony Herrera had a poor season. Either Brandon Fusco, who has the job now, or Geoff Schwartz, who was the favorite to win it before getting hurt, should represent an upgrade. Both younger players offer more power, plus a little nastiness — something last season's unit lacked.

This coming Wednesday marks the bicentennial of the opening of the Burlington Arcade, in the Mayfair section of London. Though it opened in the last full year of the Regency, this elegant shopping area was popular from the outset. Its many upscale shops selling luxury goods were frequented at one time or another by the majority of the affluent residents of the city, both ladies and gentlemen. Authors of Regency romances might find that this new shopping venue will make an ideal setting for one or more scenes in a story of love in our favorite decade.
A brief history of the Burlington Arcade . . .
Some of you may remember that last spring, the reception for the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle was held at Frogmore House, which is situated within the grounds of the Home Park at Windsor Castle. It is generally speculated that Frogmore House will become the home of the Duke of Edinburgh, if Queen Elizabeth II should shuffle off this mortal coil before him. Which, you are saying to yourself, is not history, it is not even news, it is just speculation. And so it is, but it echoes the history of Frogmore during the Regency, when Frogmore House was the favorite residence of poor mad King George III’s long-suffering spouse, Queen Charlotte, and her unmarried daughters.
A brief history of the Frogmore Estate and its inhabitants during the Regency …
Though small decorative wooden objects had been made in the Tonbridge area for well over a century before the Regency, the style of that art form was just entering a period of transition during our favorite decade. For that reason, what is now considered to be the quintessential type of Tunbridge ware was not actually made there in large numbers until the middle of the nineteenth century. Regency authors who wish to gift one or more of their fictional characters with these charming toys will want to be sure they give them the right type of Tunbridge ware objects.
Tunbridge ware through the Regency . . .
This curiously charming book was a pleasantly serendipitous discovery while I was researching a completely different topic. However, Brighton is one of my favorite settings for a Regency romance, perhaps because it was an important setting for the very first Regency romance novel ever written, Regency Buck, by Georgette Heyer. Therefore, I could not resist reading through this book on the history of that city. Having done so, I suspect that many Regency authors and aficionados will be very happy to add this chatty tome on the early days of Brighton to their research library.
Peeping into Brighton’s past . . .
Today, the fairy tales which are published as having been collected by the Brothers Grimm are thought to be quite suitable for everyone. However, the original versions of most of those tales were highly criticized as being very inappropriate for children. The Grimm brothers took those criticism to heart. In 1819, they began to edit their stories, not only so that they would be more appropriate for children, but also to protect the image of motherhood.
Some of the changes the Grimm brothers made to their fairy tales . . .
"The toothpowder genius has some sort of hold over her," Penelope said.
This is one of my favorite lines, from one of my favorite traditional Regency romances, in which the heroine’s young siblings are seeking to determine what is troubling their sister. I re-read it recently, and yet again, could not help but wonder about oral hygiene at that time.
Though the practice of dentistry did not formally exist until the 1830s, the denizens of the Regency did not ignore their dental health. Of course, their oral hygiene practices were not nearly as effective as those of today, but many of those who lived during our favorite decade did make a regular effort to care for their teeth.
The Painted Chamber was part of the complex of the Palace of Westminster in London. Though the chamber itself had been known for centuries, until the turn of the nineteenth century, the fact that the walls were covered with a series of murals depicting Biblical stories had long been lost to human memory, despite the name of the room. However, in the last year of the Regency, those murals were once again revealed. Fortunately, they were then recorded in a series of drawings and paintings, since the Painted Chamber itself was ravaged by fire in the autumn of 1834.
The revelation and recording of the murals in the Painted Chamber . . .

My Journey by Tracy Jo from Serenity House
I really need this burden lifted
Through these ashes I‘ve already sifted
Every bridge already burnt,
So many others still really concerned
Much needed relief is seen near to grasp
Trying to move forward letting go of my past
To be comforted is greatly needed
A reality hits me knowing my journey was damn near completed.
Breaking old habits is nothing more than complicated
Good behaviors from bad are still being separated
My confidence is growing with evidence slightly showing
Needed still a lot more work, even now styling a smirk
A break shines through with still more to do
My happiness begins clear and just for a moment
My sadness will disappear
Holding the truth for this life long battle
Expecting the fact I just begun to climb back
Even getting help I began to realize
The person you see is no longer in disguise.
Today my life I completely take back
Getting it together, I hope to keep it on track.


The City of Cape Town’s Mayco Member for Safety and Security, JP Smith, has called on the Western Cape Transport Department to invoke maximum powers to deal with the alleged criminal conduct of some public transport operators on the Cape Flats on Wednesday morning.
The City of Cape Town says it will approach the High Court on an urgent basis for an interdict against the South African Police Service for interfering in the work of a film crew at Camps Bay beach.
Three Golden Arrow buses and a truck were set alight during violent protests at Makhaza in Khayelitsha on the Cape Flats on Thursday morning.
The City of Cape Town has called on members of the public to report possible incidents of extortion on its newly launched hotline. This comes after seven people were shot and killed in Gugulethu over suspected gang activity.
Two City of Cape Town firefighters have been treated in hospital after they were assaulted in Wallacedene, near Kraaifontein on Saturday morning.

The Brook Hill Guard will return to the TAPPS Class 3A state title game for a shot to three-peat after disposing of Red Oak-Ovilla Christian, 7-1, on Tuesday at the Waco ISD baseball complex.
Sophomore pitcher, Daniel Priddy was a big part of the win, drawing the start and throwing six innings, striking out ten Eagle batters, walking none and scattering out six hits and allowing the lone Ovilla run, although unearned due to a Guard miscue..
Battery-mate, Kendall Kerns came on to relieve in the seventh inning to finish out the win, allowing two hits.
“It was another great performance by our pitcher Daniel Priddy,” head coach Terry Pirtle said after his 303rd win as a baseball head coach. “And Jonah Gonzales was lights out both at the plate with a huge double, and he made some great plays for us at second base that were really big for us.”
Guard shortstop, Clayton Engel, Quinton Pile, and Gonzales each had two hits for the Guard. Engel scored once and knocked in one run with a double, Pile scored twice and Gonzales had the big two-RBI double and scored once among the 10 hits for the Bullard crew.
Losing pitcher, William Stiinchcomb struck out seven Guard batters, walked three, hit one batter while allowing the ten hit barrage.
Cameron Stephens and Tyler Webb led the Eagles batters with two hits apiece. Ovilla’s, Jackson Glenn singled and scored in the top of the sixth inning for the only run of the game.
Centerfielder, Michael Greening saved any further damage in the inning with two runners on base. Greening made up for a wrong first step on a shot to the left centerfield gap. Greening sprinters speed however ran down the frozen rope and retired the side to keep Priddy looking pretty after his six innings pitched.
“It meant a lot to me that the coaches had the confidence in me to make the start,” said Priddy after the win. “My location was really god early on, and the defense had my back all game long and it was just a great team effort.
“I thought the catch by Michael (Greening) was outstanding,” the pitcher continued. “I think he got a bad break on the ball and I didn’t know if he would get there but he is so fast he made the play that really closed the door on them.”
The Guard will go for the third-straight baseball state title against Bryan-Brazos Christian, at 10 a.m. on Wednesday at Mary Hardin Baylor’s, Red Murphh Stadium for the Class 3A title. Third in-a-row should Brook Hill win.

IL-21, human, recombinant
IL-21 is produced by CD4+ T cells in response to antigenic stimulation. IL-21 exerts its effect through binding to a specific type I cytokine receptor, IL-21R, which also contains the gamma chain found in other cytokine receptors including IL-2, IL-4, IL-7, IL-9 and IL-15. Mouse and human IL-21 share 57% amino acid identity.
The IL-21/IL-21 R interaction appears to play important roles in B and T cell proliferation after antigen stimulation and NK cell maturation. It has been shown that IL-21 induces differentiation of T-cells-stimulated B-cells into plasma cells and memory B-cells, stimulates (in conjuction) with IL-4 IgG production, and induces apoptotic effects in naive B-cells and stimulated B-cells in the absence of T-cell signaling. Additionally, IL-21 promotes the anti-tumor activity of CD8+ T-cells and NK cells.
ISOkine™ recombinant human IL-21 is produced in the endosperm tissue of barley grain (Hordeum vulgare), that exhibits up to 50 times less protease activity than E.coli or mammalian cells. Barley seed is void of any human or animal viral contaminants that could jeopardize your cell culture.
Sterile filtered through a 0.2 µm filter. Lyophilized from PBS, pH 7.2
Greater than 95% by SDS-PAGE gel analysis.
Note: Always centrifuge the vial before opening. It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized protein in sterile water to a concentration of no less than 100 µg/ml. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).
The lyophilized protein, though stable at room temperature for few weeks, is best stored at -20°C. Reconstituted protein should be used immediately or stored in working aliquots at -20°C. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Bioactivity is assayed by measuring the dose dependent effect of ISOkine™ human IL-21 on apoptosis of Mantle cell lymphoma (B cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma) cells. The ED50 value for this effect is typically = 0.4 ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of = 2.5 x 10e6 units/mg. (Ref: Gelebart et al; Leukemia 2009;23; 1836-1846).
Endotoxin level is less than 0.005ng per µg of ISOkine™ product (0.05EU/µg) as measured by turbidimetric kinetic assay.*
Purified ISOkine™ product carries no pyrogenic or pro-inflammatory contaminants, as assayed with monocyte activation test using Human 10-plex Cytokine Assay measuring IL-6, TNF-alpha and IL-1beta induction.**
Recombinant human IL-21 contains 134 amino acids and a 16 a.a. histidine-based tag for a total length of 150 a.a. and has a predicted molecular mass of 17.7 kDa including his-tag. The recombinant protein migrates with an apparent molecular mass of 22 kDa in SDS-PAGE.
