When shopping for a cooling blanket, the fabric is a crucial factor. While most synthetic materials trap heat, some natural materials have cooling properties and are moisture-wicking and well-ventilated. When shopping online, it’s essential to read cooling blanket reviews to determine which material works best for your body type. It would help if you also kept in mind that the weight and thickness of the blanket may vary. A cooling blanket can be comfortable to wear all day long.
If you’re looking to purchase a cooling blanket, durability is probably the most critical factor. Look for coverings that can withstand frequent washing and retain their cooling properties. While most natural fabrics are strong enough to endure years of use, linen is exceptionally durable and can last for ten years or longer. Linen blankets are softer after each wash, making them a great choice if you have a sweltering room.
This cool linen blanket is perfect for summertime or wintertime use. It measures seven feet three inches by six and a half feet in width. It is also machine washable and can be dried in a washing machine. It also features a generous return and exchange policy. If you’re not satisfied with the cooling benefits of a linen blanket, you can return it for a full refund. However, it would help if you never attempted to use proprietary strong cleaning products without first testing them on a small corner to avoid damaging the blanket.
A cooling blanket should be easy to maintain, and it should be easy to wash and dry. It may come into contact with sweat during the night, which means it will need to be cleaned more often. Some materials hold up to washing and drying, like cotton or bamboo rayon. Linen is also an excellent choice because it is lightweight and moisture-wicking. If you’re looking for a cooling blanket, consider the Slumber Cloud.
If you want to feel cool during the summer, you should try a cotton cooling blanket. These blankets are made of 100% cotton sateen weave, and they have unique microcapsules that absorb and release heat while you sleep, ensuring that you sleep at the right temperature. There are many different colors and sizes to choose from, and you can even get one that is weighted for mental health. It contains hypoallergenic glass beads placed in special pockets.
There are many reasons why consumers prefer cotton blankets over bamboo cooling blankets. Cotton blankets are breathable, and they tend to retain heat better than bamboo blankets. Additionally, they can be washed more easily. They are also more durable, which is an essential factor to keep in mind when you’re shopping for a cooling blanket. You can also find a cooling blanket made of bamboo with non-glue polyester padding.
If you don’t want to spend a lot of money, you can opt for a cooling blanket made of cotton. Cotton is an excellent choice because it wicks away moisture while keeping you cool. It is also easy to wash and dry, making it a popular choice for people on a budget. Cotton cooling blankets can help you sleep on hot nights while staying comfortable. So what are you waiting for?
We have all read the Bamboo rayon cooling blanket reviews, but what is it all about? This cooling blanket is made from bamboo, a natural material that regulates your body temperature. The bamboo fibers have natural micro-gaps and holes that promote better cooling and absorption than cotton. Bamboo is also naturally antimicrobial. This review will find out if bamboo’s cooling abilities are as good as its claims.
The benefits of using a cooling blanket are numerous. The bamboo in the material wicks away moisture, reducing body heat and ensuring that you’re warm and comfortable. This is especially useful during hot summer nights when trying to sleep in a friendly environment. However, a cooling blanket doesn’t need to be a sweat-inducing blanket to be effective. We’ve included some of our own experiences to share with you.
The bamboo fabric feels supple and smooth, making it a comfortable option for hot sleepers. The thread count on the material is 300, which indicates that it is of high quality. Another benefit of a bamboo cooling blanket is that it doesn’t retain heat. If you’re worried about heat retention, a bamboo cooling blanket will help you sleep cool without sweat-inducing heat. It’s an excellent choice for anyone seeking a cooling blanket, whether you’re a heat-averse person or just want to sleep cooler.

The continent is rough and so these days I find myself in an Anikulapo Kuti mood thinking about Fela’s music.
What made Fela’s music great was that every single sound coming from his band was very important to him; he needed to hear you shine. When someone you look up to looks back at you all your potentials is unlocked, and you give nothing but the best. A wise man once said a chain is no stronger than its weakest link.
If you know pain, if you suffered and seen people suffer and was unable to do anything because you were spineless, Fela was the spine of Africans. Fela might have smoked a lot but he read a lot, and reading is all that matters. He had experiences to back him up and he knew pain too.
Now let’s talk about his genius as a composer and as a thinking man, he used his environment to the best of his knowledge, he fought with his compositions and got punished for it. It is psychological for music to provoke reactions don’t you think; great compositions can do that.
Individually Nigerian artists have always been pioneers of African music – Fela Kuti being one of the Godfathers and an early influence, if not the only recognized creator of the genre known as Afrobeat, although there are other variations now. It is a source of pride for me that Nigeria has the biggest entertainment industry on the continent which extends to music made in Afrobeat.
I love Fela and I listen to him a lot, and so any other variation of Fela catches my attention. As Africans, music and dance especially, is a part of who we are and what we are most proud of. So I have made a list of underground songs fleshed out from Fela, I found most on SoundCloud.
1. The Antibalas
2. Sute – “Let’s start”
3. Afrikan Boy – “Hit Em Up”
4. Paybac – “Follow-follow”
5. Blitz The Ambassador – “Make you no forget”
6. King Jamal TheHitMaker – “Rap Fela”
7. Dremo – “Fela”
8. Black Magic – “Loyal”
9. Metaphor – “Kalakuta”
10. D-Truce – “Suffering and smiling”
11. Brymo – “Prick no get shoulder”
12. ThirtySeventy – “Fela”
13. Dj K-mart – “Fela tribute”
14. Yinka Bernie – “Fela”
15. Greo – “Gra Gra”
Two hands up if you enjoyed them.

AlterG getting more press
AlterG, a company in the Red Planet Capital portfolio and the company where I am a half-time CFO, got some excellent coverage in the December 7 edition of the San Jose Mercury News. See it all here.
A treadmill developed at NASA Ames Research Center more than a decade ago for exercising in space has seen more athletes than astronauts lately.
AlterG, a Fremont startup, has sold more than 200 of the “anti-gravity” physical therapy and training treadmills, which are based on the NASA prototype, at $75,000 each. The buyers have mainly been sports teams, college athletic departments and hospitals, but the maker hopes to eventually push prices down to where individuals could own one.
A new model, the M300, costs $24,500 and is starting to be acquired by physical therapy clinics and nursing homes, where they are used for exercise without the risk of falling.
The company foresees an expanding base of users. “We do believe that eventually you’ll see the product being used in people’s homes,” said AlterG CEO Lars Barfod.
The AlterG, the only machine of its kind on the market, is an exercise treadmill with a waist-high enclosure added on. Zip yourself in and, by inflating the enclosure, you can reduce the force of gravity on your legs from a few percent to 80 percent, which approximates what it would be like to walk or run on the moon.
Air pressure elevates the user’s body, counteracting the force of gravity. Athletes use it to continue training after an injury, reducing the impact of running on injured muscles and tendons. It can also be used for low-impact training, especially useful for runners.
The Oakland Raiders football team has one; the Golden State Warriors basketball team has two, the University of California-Berkeley has several and Stanford University has one. The University of California-San Francisco Medical Center has two at its Mission Bay campus, Walter Reed Army Medical Center has two, and the Palo Alto Veterans Affairs hospital has one. The military uses them to help vets learn to walk with prosthetics and relearn balance caused from traumatic brain injury, Barfod said.
Marathon runner Alberto Salazar, director of the Nike Oregon Project, a group created by the shoe company to promote long-distance running, was an early convert. After checking out a prototype several years ago. Salazar has purchased five for the Nike project for the runners he trains, helping the fledgling startup get off the ground.
“I think it’s the best piece of equipment made for running in last 30 years, the most revolutionary piece of equipment, without a doubt,” Salazar said.
Scott Touchet, a Raiders assistant athletic trainer, said the team mainly uses it so players can exercise while recovering from lower limb injuries and surgeries. “Our guys love it,” he said.
The AlterG’s forerunner was developed in the early 1990s at NASA/Ames by researcher Robert Whalen and a colleague, Dr. Alan Hargens, as a space-born exercise machine and also to study the effects of weightlessness on humans. The original machines sucked air out of the chamber, creating a kind of artificial gravity. Later versions pump air in, countering gravity.
Whalen, who holds the original 1992 patent and who continues to be involved in the company, declined a request for an interview.
What it is:
A treadmill with a pneumatic “un-weighting” device
Who uses it: Sports teams, hospitals, physical therapists, nursing homes, military
Why: Helps with physical therapy, rehabbing and conditioning.
How it works: Air pressure counteracts body weight during exercise, allowing users to run and walk without impact or pain.
Who makes it: AlterG, a Fremont company

Welcoming in April with both Thai Songkran and some of our own expat’s celebrating Easter, I thought the Starfruit, Carambola, with 91% water, would be a wonderful fruit to highlight! An Easter star and the hydrating needs we all crave during these hot days comes to us on a species of tree native to SE Asia, the Averrhoa carambola. Starfruit, Carambola or Ma-fuang in Thai, fuang meaning “gear”, grows all over SE Asia and in Thailand I have enjoyed the deep orange larger starfruits at any season. There are two main types of starfruit, the small/tart and the large/sweet. The skin is fairly waxy but the whole fruit can be eaten. The flavour is unique and can be similar to an apple, grape, pear and citrus. Some say they are best eaten yellow with a slight greenish tint, but I prefer them when they are more orangey-yellow, much sweeter and just a tad softer, not so crunchy!
These fruits have lots of vitamin C (52% of RDI), most B’s and A, are low in sugar (3%), high in minerals and fibre and has high amounts of antioxidants including some zinc. They can be up to 91% water so a great source of healthy hydration also. The ripe fruit and fruit juice has antidiarrheal effects and has been used in Ayurvedic medicines for thousands of years. In the culinary kitchen creativity reigns. In SE Asia, they are stewed in cloves, sugar and apples. China cooks them with fish and in Australia they may be cooked as a vegetable, made into jams or pickled. I discovered Jamaica dries them and uses them as snacks combined with peanuts. The sour variety makes a nice relish with chopped spices and can be combined with fish or shrimp. I use them as additions to my mangosteen, dragon fruit, mango and papaya tropical fruit platters when treating myself during hot days and look so pretty too with the star shape! Wishing on a star never tasted so good! I am lucky to of found a SE Asian man myself, Mr. Souphanya from Laos, that knows how to organically grow most of my favourite fruits here in Hawaii while I await SE Asia/Thailand to re-open. Shopping at local markets and supporting the local people during these times is a positive human interaction we can have during these times for all involved.
I must mention a slight risk for people with any hard kidney issues like kidney stones, kidney failure or are on kidney dialysis. Starfruit contains caramboxin and oxalic acid. Caramboxin can create adverse neurological effects and oxalic is in many fruits and vegetables but combined with caramboxin and predisposed kidney failure together, I must at least give a slight warning here to not indulge. Taking starfruit juice or even just the fruit on an empty stomach is also not advised for anyone but the normal ingestion of the tropical fruits during the day for most is fine. Please do not let this deter you unnecessarily. It is fine to do juice fasts and fruit fasts etc. as I have written about before, but this particular fruit isn’t one of them for that!
The true native range of this plant is pinpointed closer to Malaysia, Indonesia and S. China than Thailand and has never been located in the wild, like the guava and many other tropical plants. It seems it was domesticated through India and SE Asia in prehistoric times, but it was in the American tropics that it was established just over 150 years ago. Commercial production of starfruit takes places in most tropical places throughout the world now including Hawaii, however, Malaysia is the global leader in starfruit production. The Averrhoa carambola are also grown as ornamentals due to the easy pruning of the mini tree-shrubs which can lead to a decorative addition to any garden yet can be worrying for some as an invasive species since they are quick to spread. Carambola flowers throughout the year with beautiful dainty pink and light lavender flowers which against the background of the dark green leaves can be a gorgeous addition to any garden. The main fruiting season in Thailand is April through June and October through December, which again, for Christmas, is so nice to have the star shaped fruits for decorative fruit platters! One last idea for the kids is to slice the fruit thin and bake them with some sea salt supplying a cute version of snacking. Healthy snacks are always a plus!
I call the painting accompanying this article Blue Skies; Starfruit Surprise because it is in the tropical, glorious, sun filled skies these fruits grow and the element of surprise you enjoy when the fruits are cut in half can be a delight. Happy Spring! May this new season bring some respite to how things have been moving along during wintertime. I am anxious to get back to SE Asia and send you all blessings from across the Pacific headed West! Let us all stay healthy, vibrant, happy and sane!
Check out Margaret’s other article in this April edition all about Thai Massage! Keeping our minds and bodies active and healthy during these times is extra important. Treating food as medicine can be a way of eating and eventually, we are what we eat since we make new cells everyday with what we put in our mouths. Enjoy Thailand’s fruits and stay hydrated during these hot months! Margaret’s paintings can be seen on www.mejcreation.com and one can join her on her other healthy discoveries.

One of the less publicised aspects of Maoist operations pertains to their periodic in-depth review of progress made and changes in strategy without compromising on the free-flow of violence. The strategic changes have been made after every successful major operation of the ultras.
Till 1987, the Maoists believed in indiscriminate mass butchery. The most ghastly incident was witnessed in Dalelchak Baghora village of Aurangabad district where 56 persons, including children and women, were killed and some thrown into fire.
Subsequently, Naxals imposed a ban on deliberate killing of women and children. One Maoist ideologue, while justifying the sparing of women during butchery missions, said women too belonged to the oppressed sections and as such the Maoists had decided not to harm them in future operations.
Subsequent Maoist attacks left women and children unscathed. In their next major mass butchery operation conducted in village Bara under Tekari police station of Gaya district in 1992, all women and children of the village were spared. Only male adults - 35 in all - were herded together, taken to nearby fields and executed at leisure. Their throats were slit open with sickles and other agricultural tools.
Though the squad which executed the Bara operation had sophisticated weapons, they deliberately used rudimentary tools to slaughter the men, turning the chilling deaths even more gruesome. It sent a powerful message to followers and supporters: 'You need not wait for the arrival of self-loading and automatic weapons. Use the tools at hand to finish the class enemies and tormentors'.
The Bara massacre was repeated seven years later in Senari village of neighbouring Jehanabad district where another 35 male adults were executed by Maoist marauders. PN Singh, retired registrar of Patna High Court, died of shock after Senari, who was a native of the village.
Like Dalelchak Baghora, Senari too can be regarded as a turning point for Maoists. After Dalelchak Baghora, the Maoists exempted women and children from the firing line.
Post Senari, the very strategy of mass killing came under review and as per the revelation made by a Maoist ideologue, the outfit gave up mass butchery and instead focused on selective killings and targeting of police personnel and armoury.
Though Ranvir Sena, the private army of landowners, avenged Senari by two separate massacres in Khagaribigha village of Gaya district and Miapur village of Aurangabad district soon, the Maoist stuck to their stand.
In subsequent years, the Maoists stepped up their operations against the police, both in Bihar and Jharkhand. Maoist resources have been diverted to loot of police arms and killing of cops.
One reason why Maoist hand in the Rajdhani Express accident in which nearly 125 passengers lost their lives could not be established was the Maoist vow to refrain from mass killing of innocent persons. In one incident, the Maoists derailed a goods train near Paraiya. They did it after ensuring that it was not a passenger train.
According to political analysts, Maoists have now started using hoax as a strategy to send officials into tizzy and cause panic without spilling much blood. They have done it at several places, including Phesar on the Grand Chord section. As part of the hoax strategy, Maoists overpower railway crew like cabin men and make them pass the message to higher-ups that rail tracks have been blown off. It leaves the entire railway machinery panic stricken for hours while the Maoists walk away with all the publicity.

EVANSTON — Three Union Wireless employees — Mike Jackson, Jonathan Deepe and Sean Whetton — spent an enjoyable hour on Dec. 5, filling bags with food for the Evanston Hungry Children Backpack Program. They also brought a tub filled with piggy banks for the backpacks and a check for $500 for the program.
Volunteers with the program had totes filled with non-perishable food items placed on tables in a horseshoe arrangement. Volunteers could walk around and fill a bag with one of each of the items in the totes. A typical bag would include two breakfast items, two lunch items, two snacks and a fruit. The 110 bags of food were then placed in totes to deliver to each of the Evanston schools.
The backpack program currently feeds 110 children over the weekends and the number has grown consistently over the three years it has been in operation.
In the beginning, in April of 2014, the program provided food for 12 children in one school. By the end of 2014 and into 2015, 40 children were provided with food. Today, the program fills backpacks with food for 110 to 160 children, K through 12, throughout the entire school district.
As stated on its website, EvanstonHungryChildrenProgram.com, no one should go hungry, certainly not a child. Their mission is to provide easy-open nutritious food to take home over the weekend and holidays. Many families in Evanston lack the resources to provide adequate nutrition for their children.
According to Feeding America’s Map the Meal Gap study, “Today, more than one in four children lack sufficient nutrition in order to grow, thrive and achieve.”
Last year across the nation where there are backpack programs, teachers have reported improvements in study habits, test scores and fewer absences with children who receive the backpacks.
Board members for the Evanston program are co-presidents Ken Pearson and Tera Lawlar, secretary Bev Fackrell, treasurer Dawn Worley and volunteer coordinator Kristina Ruiz. Dedicated volunteers who help consistently include Celeste Olson, Susan Williams, Cathy Frame, Suzanne MacEwen and Ann Bushnell. Williams takes charge of preparing the food order for Ruiz, organizing and dating the food items, readying the table with food each week and making sure all the bags are filled.

Josh Kilmer-Purcell and Brent Ridge, stars of Cooking Channel’s The Fabulous Beekman Boys (and winners of the Amazing Race), are accidental cheesemakers: Just after they bought their 200-year-old upstate New York farmhouse—built by Revolutionary War veteran William Beekman—a neighboring farmer needed a home for his flock of 88 goats. Suddenly Josh and Brent found themselves offering up their land—and making lots of goat cheese. The handsome couple was here in Des Moines to meet with colleagues (we publish their quarterly magazine called Beekman 1802 Almanac; the next issue goes on sale May 10th). After a tour of the Meredith Photo Studios, the Better Homes and Gardens Test Kitchen, and the Better Homes and Gardens Test Garden, we enjoyed a delightful dinner together at Proof. That’s Brent (left) and Josh (right) sharing the garden love with me.

The Country Gardens team couldn’t be more proud of our former editorial intern Kelly Norris on the occasion of the publication of his beautiful new book, Plants with Style (Timber Press). Last week, we attended a reception for Kelly at the Greater Des Moines Botanical Center (GDMBC)—where he’s the Director of Horticulture—to celebrate. That’s Kelly, above, flanked by Stephanie Jutila, President and CEO of GDMBG, and CG editor James A. Baggett. As Kelly puts it, “A garden is the best way to savor life on earth.” Let him guide you to the plants that will provide a richer, more fulfilling connection between you and your own patch of soil.
My brothers and I colored our way through buckets of Crayola Crayons—we simply called them “cranz” in 1960s Indianapolis—but mostly we contained them in old cigar or shoe boxes. And the black ones were always well worn down to hard-to-hold stubs. We colored in coloring books at Sunday school, we sharpened our favorite colors with the built-in sharpener on the coveted Crayola 64-pack, and we were especially careful to stay within the lines for the special ones we drew for our grandfather in the hospital because we weren’t allowed to visit. If you were a child of the 60s, you know the distinctive waxy smell of a box of just-opened Crayons as well as I do. So I have to smile at the current trend of publishing coloring books designed for fully grown adults. Why is coloring suddenly a craze amongst grownups? For starters, coloring books are thoroughly therapeutic. Still, that doesn’t quite explain what motivates adults to color rather than, say, draw or paint or just doodle. Is it about nostalgia? Or do stressed-out adults feel comforted by the infantilizing nature of returning to an activity for small children? Is it about ceding control of a task, or making something with zero pressure? Or is it something else entirely? Three new grown-up coloring books have recently arrived on my desk that are of special interest to garden-lovers:
• Color the Natural World (“a Timber Press coloring book”) by Zoe Keller features intricately drawn plants and animals ($12.95).
• Every Little Thing (“a Flat Vernacular coloring book” from Potter Style) by Payton Coswell Turner is a mesmerizing hand-drawn coloring book that includes a parade of woodland plants and creatures ($15.99).
• I <Heart> Coloring Flowers (from Price Stern Sloan) is a pocket-size coloring book of nothing but flowers illustrated by Lizzie Preston and Jane Ryder-Gray ($9.99).
Less than 24 hours ago I paraded through the North West appointment gate (near 17th and Pennsylvania Avenue) and onto the White House grounds. Of course, I was not alone— and we were on a mission. Photographer Bob Stefko, art director Nick Crow, contributing editor Debra Prinzing, and I were in Washington, D.C., to produce a story on the White House Kitchen Garden and we were escorted by a press secretary from the Office of the First Lady, a White House intern, and a very friendly Secret Service Officer. The garden was bursting with every imaginable edible: figs and raspberries and Cinderella pumpkins and Delicata squash and beans and okra and carrots and sweet potatoes and cucumbers and heirloom tomatoes and zucchini and sweet bay and radishes and rosemary, thyme, sage, and oregano. You will see the results in the Spring 2016 issue of Country Gardens, but in the meantime, here’s a snapshot of the hot and sweaty (and proud) CG team. And, no, we didn’t get to meet Michelle. Or Bo or Sunny for that matter.
Pure-white calla lilies (Zantedeschia aethiopica) are a classic, either in the garden or in a vase. But hybridizers have introduced many new callas in recent years. New cultivars with yellow, rose, deep pink, even purple-black flowers are to be found in catalogs and in garden shops in early spring. They are striking cut flowers and provide a surprising elegance in the garden. This past spring, I received a shipment of a new yellow calla lily (‘Golden Chalice’) from Longfield Gardens, so I planted the rhizomes in a nice-sized square glazed blue pot that greets visitors to my front porch. Callas are an excellent choice for containers or for the front of a flower border because plants range from 8 to 36 inches tall. Most, like ‘Golden Chalice’, have white- or silver-spotted foliage. Here they are blooming their heads off in the summer heat. Check out their other bulb offerings at longfield-gardens.com.
Seeds surround us. From our morning coffee to the cotton in our clothing, the spices in our foods, and the cosmetics we use, seeds are part of nearly every aspect of our lives. They give us food and fuels, intoxicants and poisons, oils, dyes, and fibers. Without seeds there would be no bread, rice, beans, corn, or nuts. So it is no surprise that in the past few weeks no less than three new books on the topic have landed on my desk.
• There is more to a seed then the plant it will someday become. Seeing Seeds: A Journey into the World of Seedheads, Pods, and Fruit (Timber Press; August 2015) proves seeds, seedheads, and pods have their own dazzling beauty that sometimes even surpasses that of flowers. Photographer Robert Llewellyn uses his unique macrophotography to reveal the hidden beauty of an oft-ignored plant part: seeds. Alongside Llewellyn’s stunning photographs, evocative descriptions by Teri Dunn Chace explore the ecological role of seeds and how they do the fascinating things they do.
• In his new book, The Triumph of Seeds: How Grains, Nuts, Kernals, Pulses & Pips Conquered the Plant Kingdom and Shaped Human History (Basic Books 2015), conservation biologist Thor Hanson turns his eye to the ubiquitous seed plants that dominate landscapes and define entire ecosystems. Following the winding path that seeds have paved through evolution, natural history, and human culture, he examines the traits and habits that have allowed seeds—and the plants that bear them—to be so successful, and to so thoroughly transform our planet.
• Filled with advice for the home gardener and the seasoned horticulturalist alike, The Seed Garden: The Art and Practice of Seed Saving provides straightforward instruction on collecting seed that is true-to-type. In this comprehensive book, Seed Savers Exchange and the Organic Seed Alliance bring together decades of knowledge to demystify the time-honored tradition of saving the seed of more than 75 crops—from heirloom tomatoes and long-favored cultivars of beans, lettuces, and cabbages to century-old varieties of peppers and grains.

The House preliminarily passed the legislation 97-33 this morning. The bill is expected to move back to the Senate and be met with a filibuster from Democrats. The special session ends June 26, but the governor can call an unlimited number of those sessions.
A packed gallery of pro-choice advocates, dressed in orange to show solidarity, looked on below to the House floor, where a fight between scientific fact and political ideology waged on into the night. The legislation outlaws abortion after 20 weeks post-fertilization, imposes restrictions on abortion doctors and abortion-related drugs and forces clinics to comply with standards of ambulatory surgical centers, a requirement that would shutter all but five clinics in the state. To top it off, the bill isn’t supported by leading experts who argue the measures are unnecessary, unfounded and detrimental to women’s health, as the Current previously reported.
More than 1,000 pro-choice advocates filled the Texas Capitol on Sunday to protest anti-abortion bills that would close down all but five clinics in the state. Photo courtesy of Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas.
After buying nearly six hours of time with procedural delays, Burnam and fellow Democrats burned the midnight oil in a painstaking attempt to demonstrate this to the bill author. Highlighting the legislation’s dearth of peer-reviewed evidence and lack of support from the medical community, they took turns explaining to Rep. Jodie Laubenberg (R-Parker) if you’re going to file a bill that bans abortion on medical grounds, you should probably have the factual data to back it up.
But the Republican demonstrated she doesn’t possess the best grasp on reproductive science– challenging an amendment to make an exception for cases of rape or incest, Laubenberg countered it wasn’t needed because a woman can get “cleaned out” after receiving a rape kit, mistaking the evidence-gathering procedure to abortion, “We have funded what’s called rape kits that will help the woman, basically clean her out. And then hopefully that will alleviate that.”
When legislators asked her to cite where the facts of her bill came from, Laubenberg mumbled out two studies, while House Democrats pointed to major medical consensus which would seem to oppose the bill, including The Journal of the American Medical Association, the Texas Medical Association, the Texas Hospital Association and The American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. Brushing the entirety of the medical community’s recommendations aside, Laubenberg — who oftentimes seemed hazy about the contents of her own bill — continued to make the case that the legislation somehow improves “quality of care” for women.
But that’s not the real intention, Democrats and pro-choice advocates argue.
“The truth is that these bills aren't about women's health and they aren't about the will of the people — they are about winning Republican primaries,” said Rep. Jessica Farrar (D-Houston) to thunderous applause from gallery seats. “Texas women deserve better than to be used as a tool in partisan politics.”
Furthering the argument was last week’s questionable Tweet by Republican Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst, who posted a message exclaiming, “We fought to pass SB5 thru the Senate last night, & this is why!,” alongside an infographic from Planned Parenthood that shows the bill would “essentially ban abortion statewide,” not-so-subtly suggesting the actual goal is to shut down clinics.
Seeking to ram abortion restrictions in at the last minute, Texas Gov. Rick Perry added the draconian measures to the special session agenda, but as Farrar noted, “Nothing about these bills is an emergency. Surely the expansive public opposition to the bills demonstrates that.”
In an effort coordinated by reproductive rights groups including NARAL Pro-Choice Texas, Whole Women’s Health, and Planned Parenthood, more than 1,000 men and women showed up at the Capitol on Sunday, lining the rotunda and stairs outside the chamber to protest the onerous legislation. While some presence by the blue-clad anti-abortion lobby was felt, they were overwhelmingly outnumbered.
Fueled by their frustration and disbelief in the conservative Republican-led crusade to end abortion access, many traveled far and stayed late to oppose the restrictions. Mary Hiller from San Antonio camped out in the Capitol annex with fellow protestors throughout the evening. She said she was one of the hundreds who got shut out of a House State Affairs Committee hearing last week after testimony was cut short by the GOP chairman, as the Current previously reported.
“People are outraged,” said a tear-eyed Hiller. “What the Republicans are doing is disgusting. It’s going to hurt low-income, minority women the most and they don’t care. Women are going to pay the price and many are going to die. We did this 40 years ago [with Roe vs. Wade], I shouldn’t have to fight the same battle at 69 years old.”

Organic Sesame Seeds
Sesame seeds are tiny, tear-drop shaped and are white or black in colour. The sesame plant is native to Africa, Turkey and Arabia and has been cultivated for thousands of years. This highly nutritious seed is a staple in China and India and is popular in cooking and baking across the globe.
The protein content is very high in these organic white sesame seeds and they rich in methionine, an amino acid that promotes the healthy metabolism of fats. Sesame seeds have an excellent calcium content and contains special fibres called lignans that can lower blood cholesterol. Sesame seeds are also a good source of lecithin and phytosterols that also help to manage proper cholesterol production.
Sesame seeds are high in the trace mineral copper, which helps to support a healthy immune system and can reduce inflammation in the body. They also have good levels of B vitamins, important for energy production and general well-being.
These tiny seeds boast high levels of magnesium, which is used by the body to reduce muscle tension, promote healthy blood sugar levels and to reduce insomnia.
Sesame seeds are a well known seed commonly used in baking such as breads and biscuits. They are also the single ingredient that makes up ‘tahini’; a nutritious seed paste that is super rich in calcium and much easier to digest than whole sesame seeds. Sesame seeds are also super delicious when toasted as it brings out their delicious nutty flavour, try adding these to salads.
These organic sesame seeds come without any nasty pesticide or chemical residues.

Institutional investors are seeing good value in inner-city and suburban office buildings, even those partially vacant, at a time of uncertainty about how CBD office towers will perform when office workers return en masse.
In Hawthorn in Melbourne’s inner east, a five-level office building owned and occupied by the not-for-profit National Institute of Integrative Medicine (NIIM) sold on Christmas Eve to real estate fund manager Prime Value for $17.5 million on a 5.4 per cent yield.
Selling agent Ed Wright from Knight Frank, said the 2341-square-metre building at 11-23 Burwood Road attracted 13 bids and significant interest from Victorian private and institutional investors, as well as from Sydney and Adelaide-based groups.
Mr Wright said it was a strong result given just a three-year leaseback to NIIM, whose board of directors include former Swisse CEO and ex-Financial Review Rich Lister Radek Sali.
“For assets priced between $15 to $20 million there is heaps of money about trying to buy buildings,” Mr Wright said.
“Investors know [suburban office buildings] are secure investments, but they are still unsure about how many people will return to the CBD.”
It’s the second non-CBD Melbourne office building bought by Prime Value in the past 12 months.
In April, the fund manager, through its commercial property arm, Shakespeare Property Group, paid $62 million for a St Kilda Road office building hastily offloaded by struggling travel agency Flight Centre.
In Rosebery, in Sydney’s inner south, another fund manager, Freehold Investment Management paid $29 million for a five-level office building at 55 Mentmore Avenue. The building sold with a weighted average lease expiry (WALE) of just one year and a 32 per cent vacancy rate.
The vendor was Mentmore Holdings, a company owned by the NSW farming McBride family, which paid $10.2 million for the building in 2013. JLL’s Mitch Noonan negotiated the deal.
Freehold will look to reposition and refurbish the property in partnership with asset management firm Eagle Property Group.
Grant Atchison, managing director of Freehold, told The Australian Financial Review while there was still value in premium CBD assets despite their expensive pricing, city fringe and suburban properties were benefiting as companies needed to have a way to be able to continue operating if there was a shutdown in the CBD, as the pandemic showed could easily happen.
“If you have a large workforce, can you separate them into different buildings and continue to operate during a shutdown? That’s going to be a risk management element [for corporates],” Mr Atchison said.
In addition, he said there was already an established pre-COVID trend of corporates disaggregating their office needs by putting some components of their business, such as their back offices into the “Parramattas of the world”.
Eagle Property Group director Lawrence Kopping said the 5316-square-metre Rosebery building was an attractive investment in part for its location within a significant urban renewal project, the $8-billion Green Square Town Centre where there was a densely populated workforce cluster.
Other attractive aspects, he said, include it being close to public transport and major road networks and its proximity to the airport.
Nearby, in Alexandria, investment group City Freeholds led by developer Michael Nuransky, paid $29.7 million for a two-level office building leased to ASX-listed retailer City Chic Collective at 151-163 Wyndham Street.
The deal was struck on a yield of 4.3 per cent with about 12 months remaining on the City Chic lease.
Situated on almost 3000 square metres and about 300 metres from Green Square Station, the building was advertised as a potential development play by Mercer Property’s Matt Davoren and Tom Speakman.

After all my complaining, I can now say that the training and the 7+ hour car ride were worth it. The Nike Women’s Run was an incredible experience.
I believe my friend C put it best when she said, “If everyone could act like they do at marathons, the world would be a much better place.”
The amount of good tidings and support buzzing in the streets of San Francisco Sunday morning was truly astounding. I believe about 20,000 people participated in the race, and hundreds more lined the course—clapping, cheering, playing music and showering passers by with positive juju.
We could barely get to the starting line, it was so packed around Union Square.
When the race finally began at 7 a.m., we pounded along the pavement of Montgomery Street, across Washington to the Embarcadero. The weather was refreshing and cool, the streets dim in the morning fog, and along the water, the sounds of a Gospel choir and a group of bagpipers rose up, mingling with our panting and chatter and excitement.
At mile six, we hit a huge hill that seemed better to walk up than waste energy on. We could see the Golden Gate across the Bay, and found ourselves commenting again and again at how beautiful the path was.
On the way down the hill, we opted to whoop it up and run, which led to terribly sore knees later that day and during the drive home Monday. But as you can see, we had a good time, so it was worth it.
When we rounded the corner to the Upper Great Highway on the city’s west side, the sight of the beach—and the finish line—nearly took our breaths away. It was painful to have to jog past the music and the smell of food to continue our course into Golden Gate Park. I felt like my bones were clacking against each other at that point.
Thankfully, it was only another 2 miles until we were done.
As we crossed the finish line, we were handed Tiffany necklaces by San Francisco firefighters in tuxedos. No joke. It was kind of surreal. Immediately following that, someone handed us mylar space blankets, water, bananas, bagels and Jamba Juice. I felt a bit like a sweaty princess.
Despite my cranky attitude, my waffling commitment to training, and several big hills on the course, I beat my Palos Verdes time and finished the half marathon in 2 hours 26 minutes. Not too bad. Now excuse me while I finish eating my celebratory wheel of cheese.

This disco act from Sacramento, California, USA, was formed by producer Jay King and comprised Valerie Watson, Denzil Foster, Thomas McElroy and Samuelle Prater. All bar Prater had previously been members of the Timex Social Club, a local vocal group. With Watson singing lead, a 1987 revival of Bill Withers Lean On Me - issued on Kings own King Jay Records - climbed to number 1 in the USA and reached the Top 10 in most European countries. However, the follow-up, Why You Treat Me So Bad, was only a modest domestic hit. Some later singles made ripples regionally, but the replacement in 1988 of McElroy and Prater with David Agent and Kevin Irving failed to rekindle chartbusting enthusiasm for the group. Foster and McElroy went on to form a production duo and record as FMob, before founding the female vocal group En Vogue.


LONDON — Liverpool and Tottenham lost to lower-league opponents in the FA Cup on Sunday, joining a lengthy list of Premier League teams to exit in the fourth round of soccer's oldest knockout competition.
Oldham, in 19th place in the third tier, stunned visiting Liverpool 3-2. Despite a goal from American Clint Dempsey, Spurs lost 2-1 at Leeds, which is 11th in the second-tier League Championship.
Chelsea was spared a similar fate when Fernando Torres scored in the 83rd minute for a 2-2 tie at third-tier Brentford, forcing a replay.
The FA Cup is famous for upsets. On Saturday, Luton defeated Norwich 1-0 to become the first non-league club in 24 years to beat a top-tier opponent.

What do an elegiac fugue, American Indians and ancient horrors have in common? They're each the subject of a terrific graphic novel coming your way.
First up is the latest in NBM's "The Louvre" series, in which different creators craft an original story whose only connection is the famous French museum. There have been four others up to now, but "An Enchantment" (coming March 19, $19.99) might be the best so far.
The plot, if you consider this dreamlike story to have one, is of a rich, politically important old man bailing out on his own retirement party, which is being held in the Musee de Louvre. After a lifetime of being Mr. Responsible, he sneaks off with two bottles of wine into the closed and darkened galleries. There he meets a young woman who takes him on a private, shoeless romp amid the world's greatest art treasures, helping him to see them — and his own life — from a different perspective. Along the way there are revelations and regrets, laughter and laments.
Is she an assassin? A hallucination? A prostitute? A magical being? Or just an odd girl with a strange sense of humor and an affection for older gentlemen? After a while the reader, like our protagonist, no longer cares — it's the journey, not the destination, that counts.
Our second entry is "Native American Classics: Graphic Classics Volume 24" (Eureka Productions, $17.95). Coming in March, the book collects illustrated adaptations of Indian writings, mostly from the turn of the 20th century.
That period represents the end of the Wild West and the Indian wars, with Indian culture in decline. As such, there is a pall hanging over many of these stories and poems, a feeling of guilt if you're white and a feeling of loss no matter what color you are. As you'd imagine, some of these stories are despondent or angry. But some are surprisingly hopeful or philosophical. Some are simply Indian legends or folklore. As noted, anthologies are always a mixed bag, but the quality is high throughout. The eight stories and poems are illustrated by a wide variety of artists, whose styles range from cartoons to photo-realism. American Indian writers John E. Smelcer and Joseph Bruchac serve as associate editors, and contribute one story each.
Last is a classic H.P. Lovecraft story, invoking his usual themes: forbidden knowledge that drives one mad, and inhuman, elder evil lurking in history, waiting for its chance to return and enslave humanity again. But there's more to "The Case of Charles Dexter Ward" ($19.95, coming in April).
It's a bit confusing at first, with a flashback set in a flashback set in a framing sequence. But the reader who perseveres is rewarded by a story of building suspense, exploring the nature of identity while simultaneously raising the hairs on the back of one's neck.
It begins when a dangerous inmate makes an impossible escape from an insane asylum after being visited by his family physician, leaving only a mottled, purplish residue on the floor of his cell. The physician is questioned, and from his lips spills a bloodcurdling tale of alchemy, immortal evil, shifting identities and resurrection and torture of the dead. By the end, you know what that purple stuff is, and you won't sleep very well.

Mustafizur Rahman has picked seven wickets at an economy rate of under four.
Bangladesh and Australia will lock horns in the fifth and final T20I on Monday, August 9 at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium. The Tigers had already won the series after winning the third game by 10 runs. Their bowlers managed to strangle the opposition batters on a slow and low surface in Dhaka.
Though Mitchell Marsh is the leading run-scorer of the series, none of his major knocks has resulted in wins. Opening batter Daniel Christian scored 30 runs in a single over off Shakib Al Hasan, but despite his power-hitting, the Aussies took 19 overs to chase down the target of 105.
Mustafizur Rahman has been the Tigers’ best bet with the ball in the death overs. The Aussies have nothing, but pride to play for and will be looking to end the series on a high. Bangladesh, on the other hand, will want to make amends from their previous defeat and finish the series with a win.
Playing combination for BAN vs AUS
Shakib Al Hasan is the leading run-scorer for the Tigers with 103 runs, but he needs to step up with the ball. Mustafizur and Nasum Ahmed have been the prolific wicket-takers for the Tigers. Mustafizur is the leading wicket-taker with seven wickets at an economy rate of 3.56. Shoriful Islam hasn’t had much assistance from the surface, but he has managed to pick up seven wickets.
Mohammad Naim Sheikh, Soumya Sarkar, Shakib Al Hasan, Mahmudullah Riyad (C), Afif Hossain Dhrubo, Mahedi Hasan, Nurul Hasan Sohan (WK), Shamim Hossain Patwary, Shoriful Islam, Mustafizur Rahman, Nasum Ahmed
Bench: Mosaddek Hossain Saikat, Mohammad Mithun, Taskin Ahmed, Mohammad Saifuddin, Rubel Hossain, Taijul Islam
Daniel Christian looked in ominous touch in the previous game and he should continue opening the batting with Matthew Wade. Marsh remains a key member of their batting lineup. Mitchell Swepson was highly impressive last time around and he’ll want to put forth another decent show. Ashton Agar showed a lot of guts last time and he will be looking for another all-round show to end with.

CSAT to Empower Local Committees on Transparency
Center for Social Accountability and Transparency (CSAT) has underscored the need to empower local area development committees in the country's districts to deal with theft of public funds and corruption in local councils.
CSAT Executive Director, Willy Kambwandira, says the country continues to face issues of corruption because people are not aware of their rights to demand accountability and transparency from responsible authorities.
Kambwandira says Malawi is lagging behind in the fight against corruption which has rooted in local councils due to lack of confidence among local development committees to question how public funds are being used.
He says to address the problem, his organization aims to train area development committees on how to demand accountability and transparency on different projects from authorities in local councils.
"Corruption has not spared local councils and it is where it is deep rooted. This is why we want to train the local people through this project to hold their leaders accountable whenever a project is being undertaken," said Kambwandira.
Kambwandira said this in Machinga on Friday where his organization was presenting a two year project aimed to strengthen governance accountability through citizen engagement for Mangochi and Machinga districts worth over 150 million kwacha.
Deputy Director of Local Government services, Darwin Pangani says the exercise will enhance accountability of project funds for the two districts.
"For us, CSAT is a good partner who is always monitoring how projects and funds are being used. We hope this project for the two districts will promote transparency and accountability of project funds here," said Pangani.
Meanwhile, Director of Planning and Development for Machinga, MacPherson Mwakhwawa has Welcomed the project saying it will address complaints of lack of information provided to local people on developmental projects being undertaken.

Big-budget superhero movies are a dime a dozen, but it's safe to say you've never seen anything like 20th Century Fox's "Deadpool."
In an interview with FNC entertainment correspondent Michael Tammero, the stars of the upcoming action flick explain why the character of Deadpool isn't like any of his comic-book contemporaries — and why Ryan Reynolds was the only actor who could bring the anti-hero to life.
"For starters, Deadpool occupies a space in the 'X-Men' universe that quite literally no other character could ever occupy, or will ever occupy," says Ryan Reynolds, who stars as the masked Marvel mercenary. "Obviously, he's hyper-violent, but he's also hyper-funny… and that intersection, I find really interesting."
In the comics (and the film), Deadpool also demonstrates a penchant for wisecracking, sarcasm, and addressing the audience directly, which allowed Reynolds to bring some of his signature humor to the role.
"I feel like [Ryan Reynolds has] been playing this for a decade; he is absolutely Deadpool," adds actor T.J. Miller, who portrays Deadpool's buddy Weasel. "No one is Deadpool more than him."
Watch the rest of Tammero's interview above for clips from the film, then be sure to catch "Deadpool," coming to theaters everywhere on February 12th.

Hello everyone! Both Gotham and Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. started again this week and as such I am back to reviewing these for you all weekly. These week’s Gotham threw us right back into where we left off at the end of last season. The episode starts with Gordon finding Lee and realizing that she has moved on with someone else. Heartbroken and out of options, Gordon decides to start hunting down those that escaped from Indian Hill. Oswald Cobblepot(Penguin), willing to do whatever to have Fish Mooney destroyed once and for all, puts out a million dollar bounty on Fish’s head, causing Gordon to go after her.
With the help of the new reporter to town, Valerie Vale, Gordon is able to track down Hugo Strange’s assistant, Ethel. While talking to Ethel, Fish Mooney’s goons show up to take Ethel and make her tell them where Huge Strange is. As it turns out, Fish is unable to use her powers without it taking a toll on her life force. The only person who can help her, of course, is Strange and he is currently nowhere to be found. While Fish is questioning Ethel, Ivy shows up to find Selina as Selina has started hanging out with Fish’s group. Fish is unimpressed with Ivy showing up, Fish tells one of her men, the one who can age people rapidly, to kill Ivy. Ivy is chased and touched by the man before falling into a sewage pipe and seemingly being carried away.
Meanwhile, Bruce and Alfred go to a meeting with the Board of Directors at Wayne Enterprises where Bruce threatens to tell everyone about the secret society heading the company if the members of the board involved do not come forward to talk to him. The secret society sends a man to Wayne Manor where Alfred is knocked out cold and Bruce Wayne is kidnapped. The only other small update from this episode is that Barbara and Tabitha have now opened a bar together.
Overall, I thought this was a decent, yet somewhat sporadic, start to season 3. One thing I have learned about Gotham is that it is constantly going at a fast pace where every episode touches on what each character is doing and therefore does not really have enough time to flesh out exactly what is going on. Once again, Bruce has gotten himself into trouble and Gordon seems to be willing to stop at nothing to get the bad guys caught, even at the sake of his own life. I can only imagine where our two heroes are going to go from here along with the rest of the villainous crew alive in this world. Until next time!
-Catch Fox’s Gotham on Mondays at 8/7c!

There is no shortage of internet content encouraging taxpayers to take
advantage of tax deductions for business expenses, but what are the rules and
differences surrounding business expenses, write-offs, and deductible expenses?
Business Expenses and Taxes
First, it is important to understand that write-offs are a specific kind of
Business expenses are the costs incurred by a company or individual in the
normal course of business operations. These expenses are necessary for the
day-to-day functioning of the business and are generally deductible from the
business’s income for tax purposes. Deductible expenses reduce the taxable
income of a business, which in turn can lower the amount of taxes a business
has to pay.
Some examples of this are office rent and supplies, employee salaries,
Write-offs are a specific type of business expense, recognized as losses.
Write-offs occur when an asset or expenditure no longer holds value or cannot
be recovered. These losses are reflected in the financial statements and can
have tax implications.
Examples of write-offs include asset write-offs, when a company owns a piece
of machinery or equipment that is damaged beyond repair it may be written off
as a loss. Or obsolete inventory write-offs, when inventory becomes outdated or
unsellable, it is written off as a loss.
Essentially, business expenses are the costs of day-to-day business
operations and are deductible from the business’s income for tax purposes.
Write-offs are specific losses that are permanently deducted from the company’s
balance sheet due to assets or expenses that have become worthless or cannot be
Both are crucial elements in a company’s financial management and tax
planning. It is important for businesses to carefully track and document these
expenses and losses for accurate accounting and tax reporting. Always consult a
qualified tax professional for specific advice related to your business’s
Not all business expenses are deductible, and how much they are deductible
varies. Deductible expenses must be “ordinary and necessary” in your business’s
industry, according to the IRS.
Advertising and marketing expenses.
Education and training expenses for employees, and employee benefits
Most fees, including credit card processing fees, some legal fees, and
license and regulatory fees.
Office-related costs such as expenses and supplies, maintenance and repair
costs, office lease costs, utility expenses, and insurance costs.
Under the current rules, office meals and snacks are 50% deductible.
Meals with clients to discuss business, with a copy of the receipt and
record of the business meeting, are 50% deductible. However, in 2021 and 2022
meals with clients at restaurants are 100% deductible.
Food for company parties such as holiday parties is generally 100% deductible.
Club memberships are non-deductible expenses and should be treated as
Client entertainment such as golf games or concert tickets are not deductible.
It is important to note that when meals and entertainment are included in
the compensation, they are 100% deductible.

A team of researchers says it has linked sensitivity to an allergen in red meat to the buildup of plaque in the arteries of the heart. While high saturated fat levels in red meat have long been known to contribute to heart disease for people in general, the new finding suggests that a subgroup of the population may be at heightened risk for a diffe...
Researchers at an NHLBI lab in collaboration with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), and Canada’s University of Waterloo developed a new scanning method that might allow scientists to see details in the interiors of opaque objects at scales ranging from one nanometer to up to
After four weeks of treatment with a novel inhaled medication, heart failure patients saw no improvements in exercise capacity, daily activity levels, severity of symptoms or quality of life, according to research presented at the American College of Cardiology's 67th Annual Scientific Session.
Awareness of risk factors for cardiovascular disease is low among adults in the U.S., according to a recent study.
Platelet reactivity may be useful marker for predicting heart disease risk in apparently healthy people
Researchers are reporting that the reactivity of platelets—cells involved in forming blood clots—may be a useful marker in the future for predicting heart disease risk in apparently healthy people and may provide an important target for prevention.
A very large NHLBI-funded whole-genome sequencing study of drug response in minority children revealed new clues about why the front-line asthma drug albuterol does not work as well for African-American and Puerto Rican children as it does for European American or Mexican children.
An NHLBI-funded study suggests that a healthy diet may not offset the effects of a high salt intake on blood pressure.
New NHLBI-funded research shows how the interaction between the nervous and the immune systems occurs in deadly lung infections. The findings, published in the journal Nature Medicine, provide an enticing clue into a complex interplay between two systems traditionally viewed as disconnected.
Researchers have found that temporarily increasing the dosage of inhaled steroids when asthma symptoms begin to worsen does not effectively prevent severe flare-ups, and may be associated with slowing a child’s growth, challenging a common medical practice involving children with mild-to-moderate as
Blood vessels become stiffer with age due to the gradual loss of a stretchy protein called elastin, leading to an increased risk of cardiovascular complications such as sudden death, stroke and heart attack in older adults.
Using the technique known as gene-environment interaction analysis, a new NHLBI-funded study has identified dozens of new genetic variations that affect blood pressure.

Traditionally, guys called "Red" are redheads (this was the case in the novella). Initial casting calls had that in mind. The role is played by Morgan Freeman, who would not pick up that nickname naturally but owns the role anyway. It's explained in the film (though not in the novella), that Red's nickname comes from his name, Ellis Redding.
This is referenced in the film when Andy asks him why he's called Red. The reply "maybe because I'm Irish" is a reference to the Red character in the original novel, who was both red headed and Irish.
For that matter, Tim Robbins as Andy qualifies. In the novella Red describes him as a "small, neat little man". Tim Robbins is 6'5", but he nails the role.
A sequence where the convicts find Jake (Brooks's pet crow) dead in a field sometime after Brooks has left the prison, and the convicts give Jake a funeral and burial. This deletion ends up providing a subtle thematic shift; as scripted, both Brooks and Jake represent the dangers of institutionalization, but as depicted on screen, Jake ends up foreshadowing Andy's successful escape in the climax of the film.
Tommy's young wife visiting him, their conversations providing a more vivid illustration into why Tommy decides to turn his life around and approaches Andy to work on getting his GED.
After Andy's escape, an unfortunate guard is sent into his tunnel to see where it leads, and when he sees the sewage pipe broken into and smells the overwhelming odor of shit, he vomits - loudly. Red hears this happen from his own cell and cracks up laughing. He's sent to solitary confinement for two weeks... where he continues laughing, thus learning for himself what Andy (in the aftermath of the loudspeaker incident) had meant about "easy time" in the hole.
Red's feelings on the 1960s after he is paroled, as well as a panic attack in the grocery store that sends him running for a bathroom cubicle that calms him down because it reminds him of his cell - thus making his choice to find the tree and rock wall more meaningful, because it runs counter to Brooks's choice.
Captain Hadley is a sadistic prison officer, but his actor Clancy Brown is one of the nicest guys in both the film and TV industry. He described the filming location as "a horrible monument to inhuman treatment of men by men" and stated that he had a problem acting out some of the brutal No Holds Barred Beatdowns he had to dish out to the prisoners.
In the same vein, Brown received multiple offers from former corrections officers to help him develop the character, all of which he turned down because he didn't want his performance to reflect badly on real COs.
Mark Rolston, the actor who played Bogs (a serial rapist) genuinely seemed overjoyed to be working with everyone in interviews and seems nothing like his character.
Bob Gunton, who played Warden Norton, is by all accounts a quite laid-back and chilled out guy (and for real, not in the evil or fake kind of way.
Real-Life Relative: The mugshots of a young-looking Red that are attached to his parole papers are actually pictures of Morgan Freeman's younger son, Alfonso Freeman. Alfonso also cameos as the con who shouts "Fresh fish! Fresh fish today! We're reeling 'em in!"
Vindicated by Cable: Back in 1994, it earned just over $28 million at the US box office; it has since enjoyed a remarkable life on cable television and home video. Ted Turner loved this movie so much, he made sure it was playing on at least one of his cable networks every weekend for about a decade (Helped by the fact that he had sold the rights to the movie cheaply to his own stations so playing it was cheap), which helped the film earn back its budget and give it the mainstream recognition it never received while in theaters. You can still find it on TBS or a similar channel, even 15 years later. It's also available on Netflix.
Rob Reiner loved Frank Darabont's script so much that he offered $2.5 million for the rights to the script so he could direct it, with Tom Cruise as Andy and Harrison Ford as Red. Darabont seriously considered Reiner's offer but ultimately decided that it was his "chance to do something really great" by directing the movie himself.
Jon Favreau auditioned for the role of Fat Ass. He later told Empire Magazine that this was the worst audition he ever did and it encouraged him to try and lose weight.
Unusually the voiceover narration was recorded before filming began and was then played on set to dictate the rhythm of each scene. The guide track was recorded in an Iowa recording studio by Morgan Freeman in only 40 minutes. Unfortunately, there was a minor hiss to the track which sound engineers in Los Angeles were unable to eradicate. Consequently it had to be re-recorded in a proper studio; this time it took 3 weeks.
Director Frank Darabont had to change the title from Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption to just The Shawshank Redemption because several actresses sent in their resumes in for consideration thinking it was a Rita Hayworth movie. Accorting to Darabont, a supermodel's agent called him and said that it was the best script he'd ever read and his client would be perfect for the part of "Rita Hayworth"—immediately revealing just how much attention the agent had paid to the actual script.

A back injury is a type of injury that can easily go from a simple byproduct of an accident to a life filled with chronic pain and repeated medical treatment to deal with that pain. Back injuries tend to be even worse for the breadwinners of families, which will now have to compensate for the money spent on medical bills and wages lost due to the inability to work. These life changes are exceptionally difficult, but some of these troubles can be alleviated with the help of a skilled Minneapolis injury attorney.
Back injuries can be incredibly expensive. One visit to the doctor can require x-rays and prescription painkillers. When one visit turns into multiple visits, a patient can require surgery, chiropractic care, and physical therapy for months, or even years at a time. The victim will likely have to leave his or her job and medical expenses will often be unbelievably high. When the back injury was caused by the recklessness or carelessness of another person though, your family does not need to be the one to foot the bill. By working with a Minneapolis back injury lawyer to get the compensation you deserve, you can stop worrying about the financial aspects of the injury and start focusing on how to care for your family member.
