Food banks across America have been inundated by seemingly endless lines of people who have found themselves out of jobs and low on cash as the fight to flatten the coronavirus curve wears on.
With the unemployment rate skyrocketing to 14.7 per cent this week – the highest since 1940 – and more than 16.8million people in the US filing for unemployment over the last three weeks, food banks have been struggling to keep up with unprecedented demand.
The growing pull on these emergency food pantries comes just as families across the country are heading into major religious holidays Passover and Easter.

On Saturday, Second Harvest Food Bank of Orange County hosted a drive-thru food distribution in Anaheim, California, meant to provide food to people most affected by the coronavirus pandemic.
The three-hour event was stocked with enough food for up to 7,000 families, with each car in the line being given a bag each of potatoes, onions, shelf-stable grocery items and King’s Hawaiian Bread, KTLA reported.
In Honolulu, Hawaii, a two-mile-long line of cars awaited the Salvation Army’s drive-thru emergency food distribution Saturday, Hawaii News Now reported.
People waited as long as two hours to receive their food packages. All told, the Salvation Army said that it given food to nearly 700 cars, with multiple families inside one car, indication that thousands of people had actually been given food.
These are just some of the latest reports of extensive lines of people in need of emergency food supplies following the coronavirus outbreak in the US.
Earlier in the week, dramatic images revealed long lines of cars at drive-thru food banks in many major US cities.
Texas’ San Antonio Food Bank said that about 6,000 people had registered for its food distribution on Thursday, but that about 10,000 families actually showed up to receive more than one million pounds worth of food.

The parking lot at the drive-thru event – the organization’s largest, single-day distribution in its 40-year history – was packed with cars as people waiting in long lines for hours for food, according to the San Antonio Express-News.
It was a similar story in Pittsburgh on Friday, when The Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank’s three-hour drive-thru distribution event.
Cars were lined up for more than a mile to receive two boxes of food – enough to make 40 meals – per vehicle. The organization had said that they had enough food to help 1,300 people at that giveaway.
At the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank’s giveaway on Friday, hundreds of cars had lined up by 8am outside The Forum in Inglewood, California. Workers then put the groceries inside the trunks of their cars, KTLA reported.
The organization said that it expected to give food to as many as 5,000 families that day.
Also in Los Angeles Friday, workers at LAX airport were invited to a specially-organized food bank, DailyMail.com reported exclusively.
At least 5,000 cars were expected at the event, according to LA Food Bank President and CEO Michael Flood – all being given to people who depended on the airport to make a living, ranging from taxi drivers to air crews, as passenger numbers have dropped dramatically due to stay at home precautions.
LAX’s most recent figures show just 7,966 passengers flew or landed on March 31. The average number of travelers in January was more than 215,000 a day.
The airport had said that until recently, it had 59,000 workers on site and in the immediate area around it, while the City of Los Angeles estimated that 100,000 additional jobs directly depend on the airport.

Feeding America – the largest hunger-relief organization in the country – told Good Morning America that it estimates it will need to feed an additional 17.1million people – many of who are relying on food banks for the first time – as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.
This, on top of the 37million people that were previously food insecure, including 11million children and 5.5million seniors.
‘I’ve never witnessed a system being more strained,’ Feeding America CEO Claire Babineaux-Fontenot said.
‘For the first time probably in our history, we’ve had to turn some people away,’ she said, not that ‘We don’t want to do that, ever.’
Food bank officials are now worried about running out of food due to fewer food donations, which leaves them in need of financial donations.
Officials at Anne Arundel County Food Bank in Crownsville, Maryland, told WBALTV that its donations were down 90 per cent, as grocery stores had reduced donations in efforts to meet the needs of their customers.
‘The only donations that we are able to rely on is what we are receiving from the community, some businesses and what we are able to purchase with monetary donation,’ the food bank’s executive director Susan Thomas said.
Central Texas Food Bank’s CEO and president Derrick Chubbs said that the pantry, which serves 21 counties, had about 7,000 new families come through in March, alone.
‘That’s a 207% increase from what we’re normally used to seeing, and I think that translates to approximately 22,000 new people,’ he told KVUE.
‘We’ve all seen the shelves. There isn’t a lot of food being donated. The amount of donated food has dropped drastically, so we’re already purchasing food,’ Chubbs said.
‘And to help us continue to purchase the food, we could certainly just use the financial donations.’

The flurry of notable offseason moves continued on Monday with two deals that significantly affected the running back landscape in fantasy football. The frustrating timeshare situation is over in Chicago, while the Broncos have made a major move to stabilize their running game.
Jets trade for Thomas Jones
New York filled the apparent hole in their backfield by dealing for Jones, who had been surrounded by constant trade rumors in recent seasons. Fantasy owners have been waiting for Bears to get rid of Jones for some time now, as it makes the veteran running back more valuable with another team and clears the way for Cedric Benson to finally become the certain No. 1 back for the Bears.

The Vols haven’t made the postseason in two straight years, but they’re already appearing in early bowl projections for the 2019 postseason.
Sporting News has released their early bowl game projections for the 2019 season that includes all 40 bowls after the 2019 regular season comes to a close. Their projections have the Vols in a familiar bowl game playing a familiar foe in the match-up as well.
According to Sporting News, Tennessee will make it to the TaxSlayer Bowl down in Jacksonville, Florida after the 2019 regular season. Their opponent will be the Nebraska Cornhuskers.
Tennessee just appeared in the TaxSlayer Bowl a few seasons ago, and they just faced off with Nebraska in a bowl game only a handful of years ago. The Vols were awarded a bid in the TaxSlayer Bowl in 2014 after going 6-6 in the regular season, and they trounced Iowa by a score of 45-28. Tennessee played Nebraska in the Music City Bowl at the end of the 2016 season and beat the Cornhuskers 38-24. That’s the last time both Tennessee and Nebraska have made it to a bowl game.
The Vols have missed out on a bowl berth each of the last two seasons after going 4-8 overall in 2017 and 5-7 last year in Jeremy Pruitt’s first season as head coach. The media members at Sporting News believe Tennessee will make enough progress in Pruitt’s second year to at least go 6-6 and earn a low-level bowl bid, however.
All in all, Sporting News has nine of Tennessee’s 12 opponents this season in a bowl game. Alabama, Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, Kentucky, Vanderbilt, Mississippi State, BYU, and UAB are all predicted to make bowl games in 2019 according to Sporting News.
Sporting News predicts that 12 of the 14 teams in the SEC will make it to a bowl game in 2019. The only two teams in the conference that Sporting News doesn’t have earning a berth to a bowl game are Arkansas and Missouri. The Tigers are likely absent due to the potential sanctions being levied against them by the NCAA.
Alabama is, unsurprisingly, projected to make it to the playoffs, and Sporting News has them facing off against Clemson yet again in the National Championship Game. Georgia is projected to face Oklahoma in the Sugar Bowl, and Florida is predicted to take on Syracuse in the Orange Bowl.
Here’s where other SEC teams are projected in the postseason by Sporting News:
LSU – Citrus Bowl
Auburn – Outback Bowl
Texas A&M – Liberty Bowl
Kentucky – Music City Bowl
Ole Miss – Belk Bowl
Mississippi State – Texas Bowl
South Carolina – Independence Bowl
Vanderbilt – Birmingham Bowl

Harnessing the Benefits of Family Integrated Care (FICare)
In recent times, Family Integrated Care (FICare) has emerged as a groundbreaking healthcare approach, achieving remarkable milestones. You might be asking yourself what Family Integrated Care (FICare) is and how it has managed to make such substantial advancements in the realm of medicine. Here’s the link to [url]discover more[/url] about this [url]now[/url]!
Family Integrated Care (FICare) is a patient-centered approach that emphasizes the active involvement of family members in the care of their loved ones. One of the milestone achievements of Family Integrated Care (FICare) is the enhancement of patient outcomes. In the traditional healthcare setting, patients frequently experience isolation and disconnection from their care. Just click here and [url]check it out![/url]
Additionally, FICare guarantees that families are actively engaged in decision-making processes pertaining to the patient’s care. This involvement empowers families to make well-informed choices and decisions that align with the patient’s preferences and values. In traditional healthcare settings, families often feel sidelined, with limited opportunities to actively participate in the care of their loved ones. FICare seeks to shift this dynamic by acknowledging the indispensable role of families in the care equation. This level of involvement has led to improved patient satisfaction and better treatment adherence.
Another noteworthy achievement of Family Integrated Care (FICare) is the reduction in hospital readmissions. In the traditional healthcare paradigm, patients are often discharged without the necessary support and guidance, increasing the likelihood of readmission. Yet, Family Integrated Care (FICare) tackles this problem head-on by ensuring that patients and their families receive comprehensive education and training before being discharged. This empowers families to deliver superior care at home, thereby diminishing the necessity for return hospital visits.
Family Integrated Care (FICare) also places a strong emphasis on communication between healthcare providers and families. In traditional healthcare settings, communication gaps can lead to misunderstandings and suboptimal care. On the other hand, Family Integrated Care (FICare) advocates for transparent and open communication, making certain that families are thoroughly briefed on their loved one’s condition and treatment strategy. As a consequence, trust and collaboration between healthcare teams and families have been significantly enhanced.
Family Integrated Care (FICare) has not only benefited patients but has also reduced the burden on healthcare systems. Empowering families to actively participate in caregiving has resulted in a decreased demand for in-hospital resources. This has the potential to free up hospital beds and resources for patients in need of acute care. Incorporating Family Integrated Care (FICare) into healthcare practices can lead to transformative changes in patient care. If you wish to be a part of this forward-thinking movement and reap the rewards of FICare, consider its incorporation into your healthcare journey.
In summary, Family Integrated Care (FICare) has reached remarkable achievements in the field of healthcare by prioritizing patient and family participation, lowering hospital readmissions, and enhancing communication between healthcare providers and families. Embracing this patient-focused approach has the potential to enhance patient results and simultaneously ease the burden on healthcare systems. So, whether you’re a patient or a family member, exploring the benefits of Family Integrated Care (FICare) could be a step toward better healthcare outcomes and a more collaborative healthcare experience.

OMGPOP is the poster child of the one-hit wonder in mobile gaming. After finding a hit with Draw Something, Zynga bought the developer and tried to strike gold twice. It didn’t work out and the social games giant killed off OMGPOP in June. The only thing that’s left now is their game portal – OMGPOP.com – and Zynga is going to kill that off too.
Zynga announced late last month that OMGPOP.com will shut down on September 30. After that date, almost all the games and services on the site will no longer be available. As for the actual games affected, you won’t be able to play Cupcake Corner, Gem Rush, Pool World Champ or Snoops after the site is shut down.
Of course, Zynga is still going to keep around Draw Something, its sequel and its precursor – Draw My Thing – after the site is closed. These games will continue on as Zynga products. They will be available via the main Zynga portal and various mobile devices.
OMGPOP was only the latest in a string of studio closures that saw Zynga laying off hundreds of employees and shutting down numerous games. Now the developer/publisher is going to remain focused on its own brands as it tries to break its way into the increasingly competitive mobile market. It hasn’t exactly had a bit hit just yet, but the company is now under the guidance of former Xbox boss Don Mattrick. Zynga’s former CEO Mark Pincus thinks that Mattrick will turns things around, but unfortunately, OMGPOP won’t be around for the ride.
If you want to make your peace before OMGPOP.com is shut down forever, you can get in a few more games of Putt My Penguin here. After that, the OMGPOP name will only be heard in hushed tones on some YouTube ripoff of VH1’s One Hit Wonders.[h/t: TechCrunch]

After falling to a heavy defeat last time out, Wolves no doubt will be itching to put things right when they take on Aston Villa in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.
Nuno Espirito Santo’s side were thrashed 4-0 at Anfield, and it was a far cry from the superb win they had pulled off against Arsenal at the Emirates almost a week earlier.
And whilst Villa appear to have hit a brick wall in recent weeks, tasting back-to-back defeats, Wolves shouldn’t be taking things for granted when they take them on at Molineux.
Jack Grealish will surely be the main topic of conversation in Nuno’s pre-match briefings to his players, and rightly so given the England international’s exploits this season – he’s managed an impressive five goals and six assists in just nine Premier League games.
But whilst the Villa talisman will need to be kept in check by the home side’s defence, there’s one man who they can’t afford to take their eye off either: Ollie Watkins.
Described as someone who had “real superpowers” as a teenager, Watkins has blossomed into a fine central striker, and has the kind of work ethic and energy that Wolves fans will no doubt appreciate given their own Raul Jimenez.
The programme director at his former club Brentford, Chris Deacon, told The Athletic: “Ollie transformed himself into a physical specimen. We’d call him a machine because it looked like he would set himself into third gear and then cruise along at the front while everyone else was blowing.”
If Wolves are to take home all three points on Saturday, then they will have to be disciplined and tight at the back, and keep Watkins in check for the entire 90 minutes.

Miley Cyrus' latest live performance of "Prisoner," her bombastic rock collaboration with Dua Lipa, involves a lot of leather, a lot of studs, and a lot of green screen. The pop star recently made an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! where she gave a colorful and wacky rendition of the song against a morphing backdrop of retro VHS video, resulting in some interesting compositions to say the least. At one point, Cyrus does the Macarena, and at another, she's perched atop the Statue of Liberty's crown.
During her appearance, she also received the official plaque for her iconic 2009 anthem "Party In The USA" finally getting diamond certification by the RIAA, meaning the song has sold at least 10 million units. The single received a major boost in streaming earlier this year shortly after news outlets finally called Joe Biden as the winner of the presidential election; taking to the streets in celebration people were filmed singing and blasting Cyrus' song, leading the track to re-enter the iTunes Top 200 chart.
"One thing that's become pretty amazing about 'Party In The USA', is it's become a song that represents victory," Cyrus said on Kimmel. "When you write a song or create a song like 'Party In The USA' you never know what it's going to become or what it will represent 10 years later. It was an honor that in some small way I could play a part in the celebration that took place after Joe Biden and Kamala won this election."
And while she hasn't yet been asked to perform the single at the impending inauguration, Cyrus says that she has two different versions of the song prepared, just in case.
It's hard to say anyone's had a better comeback year than Cyrus, who finalized her divorce with longtime partner Liam Hemsworth in January. During the lead-up to her seventh studio album Plastic Hearts, it was as if most of the country heard her voice for the first time, falling in love with her countless incredible classic rock covers of Goldie's "Heart of Glass" and The Cranberries' "Zombie." The album itself was also well received, with Rolling Stone calling the project her "most self-assured record yet." The album also topped Billboard's rock albums chart, making it the pop star's first record to do so.

I warn you this is full of power couples as Amanda Jane Jones dedicates the majority of her blog to ‘my better half’ detailing the three quirks which makes the couple followed by their story. I realise, due to my relationship status, this may be a worrying blog to add to my ‘Bloglovin’ feed but I promise it is not through jealous, tear-stained glasses in which I view this blog, I just love the photography, lay-out, the style… I could go on.
For a creative blog, full of colour and fonts, I have a feeling I know exactly who may enjoy this one.
This post was just going to contain two blogs but I cannae help it, I am addicted to trawling the internet to find more portals of creativity and so I end this post with this blog. A cavern of DIYs, thrifty interior ideas, beautifully rustic photography and a recipe here and there- what’s not to like? Also written by a girl named Rebecca, jus’ sayin’….

DEAR DOCTOR K: Can you explain the difference between soluble and insoluble fiber? Are both good for your health?
DEAR READER: Dietary fiber consists of the indigestible parts of plant foods. As you note, there are two kinds. Soluble fiber dissolves in water; insoluble does not. Both are important for healthy digestion, and both can help prevent heart disease, obesity, diabetes, diverticulitis (an intestinal malady) and constipation.
My colleague, Dr. Celeste Robb-Nicholson, recently discussed fiber in the Harvard Women's Health Watch, and part of what I report here I learned from reading her commentary.
Soluble fiber absorbs water in the stomach and intestine. It forms a gel that slows digestion. This causes you to feel full and may help with weight loss. Soluble fiber also slows the digestion and absorption of glucose, which is important for controlling diabetes. Finally, it decreases LDL (bad) cholesterol in the blood, which helps lower the risk of heart disease.
Good sources of soluble fiber include nuts, seeds, legumes (lentils, beans and peas), oat cereals, fruit pectin (found in citrus fruits, apples, pears, apricots and peaches), and some vegetables, such as carrots.
Insoluble fiber passes through the small intestine without breaking down. It's important for intestinal health because it adds bulk and draws water to the stool. This aids its passage through the large intestine.
Good sources of insoluble fiber include whole grains, wheat and corn bran, popcorn, seeds, nuts, broccoli, cabbage, root vegetables, onions, green leafy vegetables and fruit and vegetable skins.
Many people experience constipation or increased intestinal gas when they increase their fiber intake. That's true regardless of whether it's soluble or insoluble. The best way to avoid that is to start with low doses and add fiber to your diet gradually. If one source of fiber upsets your digestion, try a different one in smaller amounts. It may also help to drink more water.
Also, I tell my patients who have started fiber and experience bloating to stick with it for at least two weeks. Not everyone takes my advice, but many who do tell me that the bloating does tend to go away over time.
Some people find it hard to get all the fiber they need in their diets, so they take a fiber supplement. The amount and type of fiber in a supplement varies by product. When possible, I prefer to get most of my fiber from whole foods, which provide many other healthful substances as well.
There are other health benefits from diets that are high in the fiber-rich foods mentioned above. Those foods contain antioxidants, "good fats" and "good carbs," as well as fiber, and provide a healthy source of protein.
So I strongly recommend using foods rather than supplement powders that you can get over-the-counter at drugstores as the primary source of fiber. The supplement powders seem to help many patients with their constipation when added to fiber-rich diets, but I never recommend just the supplements alone.

Starring: Dulqar Salman, Nazriya, Madhoo, Pandiarajan and many more
Editing : Abhinav Sundar
Music : Sean Roldan
Cinematography : Soundararajan
Written and Directed by: Balaji Mohan
Interesting Title..!! The teasers also showed and proved it. How its possible is what all would think. But what does this short film turned feature film director offer in his second film was the most interesting thing to watch out from this film and that too his debut was runaway hit both in short and feature film. So whats there in this talk oriented film.? Lets see..
The film is set in Panimalai, a fictional mountain town, where the hero Arvind (Dulqar Salman) is a salesperson who is kind at heart as he cannot stop himself from solving things that are broken. Anjana (Nazriya), doesn’t talk much and obliges to her boyfriend’s dictates. Meanwhile, interesting things are happening in the town like a mysterious illness is spreading in the town which results in people losing their voice. The government declares this as Dumb Flu, and implements a curfew forcing all individuals of the hill station from speaking. What happens next forms the interesting part of the film.
The director has created different kind of roles and brings in a lot of fun moments through them. One thing that should be appreciated is that fact that there are not commercial distractions in the storyline and the humour quotient is high. The screenplay is refreshing and human emotions have been perfectly presented. There are satire on present-day politcally motivated scenarios like banning movies. The second half entirely relies on BGM and the news reporter’s relay which is a very high risk taken and which has succeeded.
Dulqar makes a ravishing debut in Tamil. His Tamil diction and dialogue delivery is perfect. And another person who makes impact in her silent role is Nazriya. Madhoo makes a comeback but her role just crosses as it is. The director Balaji Mohan himself as appeared as a newscaster which does draw some laughs, but it is Robo Shankar and John Vijay’s (who essays the character of Nuclear Star Boomesh) antics that draw the maximum laughs. Many other characters like Pandiarajan, Arjun, RJ Balaji, Kali, Vinuchakravarthy added more flavor to this interesting story. Character selection is apt in this film.
Debutant Sean Roldan should be much happier for getting such a film as his debut where he has entire second half to prove his BGM skills and he scores to the T in that. His variations in songs are also good. Soundararajan has captured Munnar’s beauty in every frame of the film. Though film is nice, characters use motion language in the second half that may not be liked by all section of audiences and thus it may appear to be draggy. Balaji’s film is refreshing and a totally new concept coupled with his unique narrative style and a screenplay loaded with satire and comedy, makes Vaayai Moodi Pesavum, a thought-provoking and thoroughly enjoyable film. Definitely a must watch, if light hearted films is your genre..!! 🙂
Starring: Arjun Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Amrita Singh, Revathi and many more
Editing : Namrata Rao
Music : Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy
Cinematography : Binod Pradhan
Written by : Chetan Bhagat
Directed by: Abhishek Varman
The film is entirely based on a popular novel and the writer also involved in its making keeps us glued on the film, that too after his previous films which were made into feature films were runaway hit (3 Idiots, Kai Po Che). Even the lead pair selection was also interesting. So what does this surprise package offer us.? Lets see.
Krish Malhotra (Arjun) and Ananya Swaminathan (Alia) meet on the IIM A campus and slowly develop their love in the form of joint study and some sharing of food. Ananya’s parents are conservative, strait-laced and simple. Krish is saddled with a loving but melodramatic mother who insists on calling Ananya’s family ‘Madrasis’ and an alcoholic father with serious anger-management issues. How each other resolve this and finally get married forms the rest.
The movie has some superb performances and hillarious punch lines and surely has a lot of freshness in the seemingly not so fresh story. The film does have some moments of inspiration, like when the hero, armed with four rings, proposes collectively to the girl’s family over lunch. But these are too few and far between to add up to much in the final analysis.
Arjun was superb with his effortless performance while Alia’s expressions are enough to make your eyes stuck to the screen. The on-screen chemistry between Alia and Arjun surely did wonders for the film. Amrita Singh plays the typical Punjabi mother perfectly and the clash of cultures makes for a highly amusing watch. Revathy is indeed a nice choice for the Tamilian mother character. Ronit Roy makes you remember Anil Kapoor towards the end.
Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy’s songs plays the perfect supporting role to the film and they are quiet enjoyable. Camera work picks the best of North and South of our country. The movie directed by Abhishek Varman has few poetic touches to the screenplay as the story is already very familiar for many. The mission to make both the families to accept each other and the father son episodes make the film to feel good. If you are in a mood for a Bollywood family comedy drama with measured senti elements and the right amount of music, please go for it… 🙂
Starring: Vadivelu, Meenakshi Dixit, Radharavi and many more
Editing : Raja Mohammad
Music : D Imman
Cinematography : Ramnath Shetty
Written and Directed by: Yuvaraj Dhayalan
Note: This is my 50th post..!!
A comedian who is off for nearly 3 years comes back not to perform his usual comedy efforts but hits back as a hero in this king sized film. So the expectations were sky high and the pre release talks were also reflected the same. But does the sky high expectations does have the worth? Lets check it..
Vadivelu plays the dual roles of a king , Mamannar, and his minister Thenaliraman. The kingdom’s future is in trouble with the council of ministers planning a conspiracy against the king. Eight of his ministers want to have a deal with Chinese traders. So, this becomes the root cause of all issues. A sincere minister gets killed and the jester enters the court of the king as his replacement. The ordinary man Thenaliraman, who is sent to kill the king, understands the situation, which is creating chaos in the kingdom. How do the Vadivelus’ tackle the situation, forms the rest.
Both the characters of Vadivelu are different from each other. The screenplay loses the grip in the second half. The wrong placement of the songs is the biggest letdown. Vadivelu does a one-man show in the film. His body language and sense of humour are treat to watch. Meenakshi Dixit doesn’t have much to do in the film. Rest other characters fits the bill and have done justice to their roles. Radharavi sounds good and acts good. Imman tries to recreate the sounds of the older decade but has tried to make up and does his best.
Ramnath Shetty’s cinematography is perfect. However, CG and art departments stand out from all other technical departments, as it gives the feel of period films. The film does not have mass slapstick comedy that one associates with a Vadivelu film. It becomes preachy beyond a point and second half drags. Vadivelu seems to have gone for a safer option and so comes with a film that feels like a less funny and bloated version of his own Imsai Arasan 23am Pulikesi. Yuvaraj, halfway down, makes to feel us in a dilemma whether the film is a comedy oriented or message oriented which provides the laughs far and few. The film can be a family entertainer majorly for the kids as they would have missed their comedy hero for more years. For rest its just a time pass..!! 🙂
Captain America, the Black Widow and Sam Wilson join forces to uncover a conspiracy within S.H.I.E.L.D., while facing a mysterious assassin known as the Winter Soldier. With no one to trust, hunted by the very organization he fights for, the world’s first superhero clashes with the uncertain and deadly world of the modern day in this film. So, America needs its wholesome superhero and Steve Rogers aka Captain America comes to the rescue. And he does so with style.
A great story requires great characters to get viewers invested in the film. If characters are not well-portrayed by competent actors, the struggle for good characters becomes even greater. In a cinematic world where CG is the norm, this film makes a greater use of practical effects, thrilling gunplay, and brutal hand-to-hand combat sequences.
Robert Redford plays the smooth bad guy Alexander Pierce with panache. While Romanoff adds some playful sex appeal, Captain America is a lot more aggressive in this outing as he takes on the Winter Soldier (Stan) and increasingly uses his shield as an offensive weapon. Rogers might not have Batman’s toys, Tony Stark’s wisecracks or Superman’s strength, but he is the most ‘human’. This ranks among the finest in the superhero genre.
The film is one of the most spectacular films in the recent times, with blistering action to satisfy audiences, and a deep and provoking storyline to keep them invested. A web of moral complexity often unseen in comic adaptations, the film presents a thought-provoking tale that challenges all its viewers.
Starring: Arulnidhi, Bindhu Madhavi, Baghavathiperumal, Ashritha, Nasser and many more
Editing : Raja Mohhamad
Music : Natarajan Sankaran
Cinematography : SR Kathir
Written and Directed by: Chimbudevan
Chimbudevan is known for his taste on fantasy subjects and he returns for his next with always a different story and joins hands with Arulnidhi who quiet gives away different flicks in this quirky titled film. Does this film also has fantasy and that too in a Chimbu style..? Lets see..
Lord Shiva shows three different episodes in a person’s life, just by change of time and how the delay changes the whole situation. He illustrates his point through a kidnapping incident. Tamizh (Arulnidhi) is asked to kidnap his lover Isabella (Ashritha) by her father’s arch-rival in business as she is about to get married in a church. Tamizh is assisted by two other friends Malar (Bindhu Madhavi) and Isakki (Baghavathi). The crux of the story is that three different timing will have three different endings. The timing will have the three principal characters encountering different situations showing how the ways of people they meet change the story.
But what makes the movie stand out is it’s screenplay and well conceived direction. With the story in place, a lot of minor incidents are put together to make a completely appealing movie. And all these incidents have been shot with utmost care, keeping in mind all the fine details.The film belongs to Arulnidhi . He is cool and does his role with a lot of ease and has perfect timing and his body language is apt. It is a difficult role as the situation changes for the hero in three different episodes and Arulnithi makes it convincing. Baghavathiperumal @ Baks gives a good time in three different situations each time makes his effort proved. Bindhu Madhavi gives her support too. Many co characters are part of the film and all have proved their efficiency in their respective roles.
Music is apt and the songs are also comes in montages. Kadhir should have carried really the camera on his shoulders as the more than half of film keeps on running. Editing could have been better. If comedy and out-of-the-box could be mixed in the same film, then probably no one can do it with the finesse of Chimbudevan’s. OKMK is practical, which doesn’t end with being just an on-screen show, but is one that you can relate to. Time pass..!! 🙂
Starring: Vishal, Lakshmi Menon, Saranya, Iniya, Jagan and many more
Editing : Anthony L Ruben
Music : GV.Prakash
Cinematography : Richard M Nathan
Written and Directed by: Thiru
NARCOLEPSY..!! This one word was unknown to many before the film’s teaser came. Then it reached many and we came to know that the film’s story has this medical disorder as the theme. Once you heard about the disorder immediately all were curious to know how a film is possible to be taken based on this as a theme. This cannot be ignored as another film which is based on usual disorders, so lets review what is basically dealt with.
Indran (Vishal) suffers from narcolepsy, a rare sleeping disorder, which makes him fall asleep when he experiences any form of extreme emotion or happiness. He has 10 wishes which he wants to fulfill in his life. He is supported by his mother (Saranya) and his friends (Jagan & Sundar Ramu). Indran come across Meera (Lakshmi Menon) in his life and what happens in his life next forms the rest of the interesting plot. I dont want to reveal much about the plot so I think this is enough.
As the pre release promos informed, Water, seriously plays an important role in the film and I dont find anything wrong with the particular scenes which fetched this film an UA. The co producer and the hero of the movie Vishal gives his fullest effort for the film which has worked excellent. He has carried this film on his shoulders. Lakshmi Menon has come out with flying colours. She has performed well. The lead pair’s chemistry gives an added advantage for the film. Jagan’s comedy lights up the smile which enhances the first half. Saranya is at her usual best. Iniya and Sundar’s part are the one’s to watch out.
GV Prakash’s music and BGM is another highlight of the film. Richard M Nathan’s camera especially the night effect and the top angle shots add to the mood of the film. Ruben’s fast cut editing enhances the film. There is no major drawback in the film but the screenplay in the second half is not engaging when compared with the first and it could be the only big drawback in the flick. Thiru who is known for his twists through the screenplay and who plays well with the story proves that this film is also no different with the second half taking quite a lot of topsy-turvy rides. Finally, NSM is edge-of-the-seat entertainer. This will be a perfect Summer commercial film for all classes. Watch it..!! 🙂
Starring: Sivakarthikeyan, Hansika, Sathish, Vamsi, Soori and many more
Editing: Srikar Prasad
Music : Anirudh
Cinematography : Sukumar
Story : AR.Murugadoss
Directed by: Thirukumaran
Sivakarthikeyan’s cult status is very high and true to that this film also has received tremendous response from the public. Even the story for this film is written by a big director and thus the film gets bigger day by day. So what this film is offering to us..?
Peter (Sivakarthikeyan) is a jobless man and he falls in love with Yazhini (Hansika). Interestingly, his friends know that he will win. How? His bunch of friends had met a Sadhu in a forest. Sandy (Sathish) had received a boon from the saint of seeing things and actions beyond the range of natural vision. What happens next is the story. The story might seem interesting but hows the screen play.? Its a big let down.
While the film’s first half is enjoyable with pleasant moments, and keeps us glued to the screen. The second half comes across as a predictable plot and is stretched a bit to far with many melodramatic things. The slow pace of the film adds to the misery and could have cut short and kept the momentum going. Sivakarthikeyan has done a regular role. It was not a challenging role and his performance is same as his previous films with few mimics in it. But he has improved very much of his dancing skills. Hansika does the role of how the typical heroine does. The supporting cast are just passable.
The chemistry between the to lead actors is believable and comes across as natural, giving the film a much needed plus point. Anirudh, however, has proved once again that he understands the pulse of the youngsters. In fact, the BGM and sound tracks in the film, make the film appear more exciting than it actually is. Cinematography by Sukumar gets full marks. Editing by Sreekar Prasad is upto the mark.
Even though the story seems to be interesting it gets let down by a poor screenplay but the director has tried to fill up with the basic methods of comedy for which the hero is famous for and also with interesting music which may work for the summer. But overall its not upto the mark. Time pass..!! 🙂


Just days after it emerged an injured Dartmouth, N.S., man lay in his driveway for three hours waiting for paramedics to arrive from Parrsboro, 911 medical emergency dispatchers say they were directed not to divulge to other emergency responders where ambulances are coming from.
The union representing medical communications officers said an email sent to its members from Emergency Medical Care Inc. on Aug. 13, four days after the incident, instructed staff to provide only the estimated time of arrival to police and fire services, but not the location from where ambulances are being dispatched.
The email didn’t explain why the directive was being issued, said Jeff Callaghan, the national director for the Canadian Union of Postal Workers, which represents about 50 communications officers with Emergency Medical Care.
“We don’t think it’s any coincidence after the incident that happened with the Parrsboro call that this is the communication that goes out,” he said.
The privately owned company is contracted by the provincial government’s Emergency Health Services branch to operate Nova Scotia’s ambulance service and medical communications centre.
‘It would be critical’
The news that Ross O’Brien, 86, spent hours with a broken hip waiting for an ambulance before police drove him to a hospital five minutes away from his home sparked a strong reaction around the province.
It was revealed the ambulance had been dispatched from Parrsboro, about a two-hour drive from Dartmouth, following O’Brien’s fall on Aug. 9.
Callaghan said medical communications officers have been advised for some time not to share where ambulances are coming from with the public, but not disclosing that information to police and fire departments is a troubling directive.
“They’re withholding information and pertinent information especially from police and fire agencies, where they would be on the scene before the ambulance, and it would be critical for them to know where that ambulance is coming from,” Callaghan said.
The union that represents Nova Scotia paramedics said police and fire crews, as well as patients and families, should have all the information that’s available about where ambulances are being dispatched from.
“Any citizen in the province has a right to that information in my opinion and I don’t think it’s a great response,” said Michael Nickerson, the business manager for the Nova Scotia Paramedics International Union of Operating Engineers Local 727.
Halifax Regional Police and the RCMP declined to comment on the issue. Halifax Regional Fire and Emergency said their response to emergencies would not be affected by the new directive.
Jan Jensen, executive director of medical communications, patient flow and system performance with Emergency Health Services (EHS), would not directly address what communications officers are being told to say.
“The EHS medical communications centre will continue to provide responding agencies, including medical first responders, the ETA for the arrival of paramedics based on the closest responding EHS unit. This process has not changed, as it is important for these agencies to be aware of this,” Jensen said in an emailed statement to CBC News.
When reached for comment, a spokesperson for Emergency Medical Care deferred to Jensen’s statement.
Nova Scotia’s three main political party leaders have said what happened to O’Brien is unacceptable.
The Dartmouth man’s family is calling for concrete action to improve emergency medical care in the province.

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ekiti State has accused Governor Ayo Fayose of buying Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs).
The party claimed that the governor was wooing students and artisans with money, warning them not to surrender their cards to the governor and his agents.
The APC, in a statement by its Publicity Secretary, Taiwo Olatunbosun, said: “News reaching us now is that Governor Ayodele Fayose has started visiting artisans and students, demanding their PVCs in exchange for cash.
“Recently, the governor visited the School of Health Technology, Ijero; College of Education, Ikere; State University, Ado-Ekiti and some other institutions where he deceived students to surrender their PVCs for cash.”
Olatunbosun reminded the students that the challenge before them goes beyond immediate pecuniary advantage.
“What is Fayose doing with all these PVCs? The governor has asked teachers to submit copies of their PVCs front and back. He wants to repeat the electoral fraud he perpetrated in the June 21 governorship elections, which is still being contested in court.
“We urge our teachers not to patronise this evil plan. Ekiti teachers should extract a written commitment from Fayose to restore teachers 27.5 per cent peculiar allowance, 20 per cent core subject allowance and 20 per cent rural posting allowance introduced by Fayemi to show that he is serious and not that he is using them for electoral gains.
“Your PVC is the only power you have to decide your future. Once you submit the photocopy of your PVC, it will be cloned and will become useless to you on Election Day. Be warned! Don’t give the photocopy of your PVC to anybody for any amount.”
The APC spokesman warned artisans to be wary of Fayose’s directive asking them to bring their PVCs in exchange for the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) loan for Small and Medium Scale Enterprises, stressing that the programme had been processed by the Fayemi administration.
He said it was fraudulent for Fayose to now use the loan to deceive the artisans into collecting their PVCs.
“The public should know that the loan will be paid back and it is not for political patronage so they should not be deceived by this. On no account should they submit their PVCs or the photocopies,” Olatunbosun warned.
But the Special Assistant to the Governor on Information, Youth and Sports, Lanre Ogunsuyi, who denied the allegation, said Fayose does not need to buy voter cards before winning election for President Goodluck Jonathan.
The aide said the governor enjoyed enormous goodwill and support from the people.
Ogunsuyi said: My principal does not need to buy people’s love. You will recall that even before he was governor, his souvenirs were being bought by supporters.
“He has no reason to buy voter cards from the same people, who have demonstrated their love for him in the governorship election.
“Since assuming office, he has been showing his love for the people through ‘stomach infrastructure’ , construction, payment of salaries and searching for jobs for the unemployed youths in federal agencies and the N2 billion SMEs loans for youths, market women and artisans. They are going to support President Goodluck Jonathan come February 14.”

In a previous analysis on Bitcoin Is The Bitcoin Sell-Off Over? Price Approaching This Key Support. Will It Hold? we talked about the $26,697 major support the Bitcoin price was running into in the 4-hour timeframe.
We warned our readers that this $26,697 price level was the last major support Bitcoin had in the 4-hour timeframe. A price break below this support could see the bearish move down pickup momentum and accelerate lower.
Well, that bearish prediction is playing out! The Bitcoin price is now officially trading below the $26,697 key support. This price breakdown has also turned this previous support into new resistance!

Bitcoin Bearish Price Scenario!
The most important key level we are watching right now is the $26,697 key resistance in the 4-hour timeframe.
For Bitcoin to remain bearish, this key level needs to hold. From this point on the price chart, we expect to see more selling pressure come into the market and begin to push the Bitcoin price lower in the coming days.
As for the bearish target, we believe there is a very high probability for us to see the Bitcoin price crash to the $20,000 region in the coming days.
Bitcoin To $20,000?
The next major level on the Bitcoin price chart is the $20k previous resistance in the 4-hour timeframe.
There is a possibility Bitcoin will sell off to this price level to test that $20k region before we see any major buying power come back into the market.
This is a more than -20% dump in the price of Bitcoin and there is a very high probability that we might see play out gradually all through the day.
