The Illinois Administrative Review Law provides that a complaint for judicial review of an administrative decision must be filed within 35 days from the date that a copy of the decision to be reviewed was served upon an aggrieved party. In Grimm v. Calica, the Illinois Supreme Court held that the date in the heading of a business letter was not sufficient to constitute service for purposes of the statute. Our detailed summary of the underlying facts and lower court rulings is here.
Grimm began in 2012 when the Department of Children and Family Services investigated and indicated a finding of child abuse against the plaintiff. The plaintiff, a teacher, argued that the finding was incorrect and requested that it be expunged. In 2013, an administrative law judge conducted a hearing on the request, ultimately recommending that the plaintiff’s request be denied. The Department adopted the ALJ’s decision.
The Department announced its decision in a letter to the attorney who had represented the plaintiff at the hearing. There was no affidavit of service included with the letter, or even any unsworn representation as to whether it had been mailed on the day the letter was dated, or later.
The plaintiff filed her complaint for administrative review thirty-six days after the date of the letter. The Department moved to dismiss the complaint, alleging that it was untimely. The plaintiff countered that the statute required service on her, not on her attorney, and that the date on the business letter was not sufficient notice of service to satisfy due process. The trial court denied the motion to dismiss and reversed the decision on the merits.
The Department appealed the finding of timeliness. The Appellate Court affirmed the trial court, holding that the date on the business letter stated only the date of the letter, not necessarily the date of mailing. In an opinion by Justice Theis, the Supreme Court affirmed.
Before the Supreme Court, the Department argued that the plaintiff’s due process challenge failed because due process neither required that judicial review be available at all, or imposed any requirements on the Department about telling the plaintiff of the option, or the timing for exercising it. True, the Court said, but due process does require that the agency decision provide clear notice to affected parties. The majority applied the due process balancing test provided by the U.S. Supreme Court in Mathews v. Eldridge: (1) the magnitude of the private interest at stake; (2) the risk of an erroneous deprivation of that interest and the probable value of additional safeguards; and (3) the potential burden on the government from additional procedures.
The private interest at stake was considerable, according to the majority – the plaintiff’s prospects for future employment as a teacher. Similarly, the risk of an erroneous deprivation was real. The majority agreed with the Appellate Court’s view that there was something counterintuitive about the notion that – if the date on the letter triggered the 35-day clock – notice was deemed given before it was received. Finally, the burden on the Department of making the situation perfectly clear by expressly stating the date of mailing was insignificant.
Justice Thomas dissented, joined by Chief Justice Karmeier. The dissenters argued that because judicial review of administrative decisions is not required by the due process clause, it follows that parties need not be told of the thirty-five day time limit to file their complaint, or how the thirty-five days is calculated. According to the dissenters, even if it was true that the date on the letter was the date of the decision rather than the date of mailing, there was a rebuttable presumption in the law that the date on an agency decision is the mailing date, and plaintiff offered nothing to challenge that presumption. The dissenters further noted that the plaintiff never testified that she was confused as to the correct service date – instead, it appeared that the one-day delay in filing was actually the result of plaintiff being unable to find a lawyer.
Ironically, the take-away from holdings like Grimm is limited as a practical matter. Lawyers should always default to initiating appellate proceedings at the earliest arguable deadline, since in many cases the untimely filing of the initiating document – a notice of appeal, petition for review, or administrative review complaint – can’t be fixed.

Human beings have an inalienable right to invent themselves; when that right is pre-empted it is called brain-washing.
Behind this web of semantic.(and more than semantic) confusion [regarding the definition of thought reform] lies an image of "brainwashing" as an all-powerful, irresistible, unfathomable, and magical method of achieving total control over the human mind. It is of course none of these things, and this loose usage makes the word a rallying point for fear, resentment, urges toward submission, justification for failure, irresponsible accusation, and for a wide gamut of emotional extremism.
brainwashing: (a.k.a. thought control, mind control, coercive persuasion). A non-violent method that uses mind control techniques to convince a person to abandon some of their basic beliefs and adopt the beliefs of the indoctrinator.
She's one of a kind, the foremost authority on brainwashing in the entire world. She is a national treasure.
brainwashing is defined as an observable set of transactions between a charismatically-structured collectivity and an isolated agent of the collectivity with the goal of transforming the agent into a deployable agent. brainwashing is thus a process of ideological resocialization carried out within a structure of charismatic authority.
Given the problematic nature of scientific support for brainwashing based theories as they are applied to participants in new religions, it is reasonable to ask why such evidence was ever admitted [into court testimony], and why it is sometimes still admitted. The most plausible answer has to do with the operation of biases, prejudices, and misinformation in these cases that involve controversial parties and issues or, as Kassin and Wrightsman (1988) say: cases involving emotional topics over which public opinion is polarized.

Wistar Scientists Discover Blood-based Biomarkers to Predict HIV Remission After Stopping Antiretroviral Therapy
Antiretroviral therapy (ART) is highly effective at controlling HIV infection, keeping the amount of virus in the blood so low as to be undetectable. This condition is called viral suppression.
Yet most people experience viral rebound and disease progression if they stop treatment, so scientists are looking to find a functional cure that allows infection control without ART.
Cure-directed clinical trials designed to test new therapeutic interventions require study participants to discontinue ART to allow researchers to evaluate new strategies. This is called analytical treatment interruption (ATI).
Currently, there are no simple, non-invasive methods available to monitor viral rebound after ATI. Therefore, new biomarkers are urgently needed to improve the safety of treatment interruption by predicting how long a patient can be off ART.
Scientists at The Wistar Institute have studied a rare population of HIV-infected individuals who can naturally restrain infection and sustain viral suppression after stopping ART, known as post-treatment controllers.
“We analyzed one of the largest sets of samples ever studied from post-treatment controllers, who don’t experience viral rebound after ART interruption,” said Mohamed Abdel-Mohsen, Ph.D., assistant professor in The Wistar Institute Vaccine & Immunotherapy Center, who led the study, published in Nature Communications. “This condition is extremely rare and provides very important insights into what a functional HIV cure looks like.”
Analyzing the blood of these individuals, scientists identified promising biomarker signatures that may fast-track future HIV cure trials and treatments.
“These biomarkers also provide us with insights on how post-treatment controllers restrain infection and how we can design novel HIV curative strategies to repeat this promising phenotype in the millions of HIV-infected individuals worldwide.”

There is a place in the city of Toronto, where people of all races and religions, ages and abilities, come together once a week to dance salsa. What takes place while the music is playing and people are moving is touching lives and changing the very face of our city one dance move at a time.
The Toronto Salsa Practice: A Model for a City in the Making, documents the power of dance to bridge divides and bring our vast cultural diversity together in ways rarely seen before. Diversity is Toronto’s strength but until now we haven’t truly tapped into and brought forth our full potential. The documentary pays homage to the Practice itself, the incredible community it has built and the ability of salsa to bring us together in ways that allow Toronto to realize its immense innovative capacity. It also documents the complex identity the Practice is helping to create, giving greater definition, cohesion and connection to a city coming of age and into its own.

EXCESS LEVY RECEIVES OVERWHELMING SUPPORT
HUNTINGTON — Cabell County Schools’ excess levy has receiving overwhelming support in the countywide vote, with 60 of 71 precincts reporting. At press time, 7,962 votes had been cast to support the levy, compared to 2,479 against.
The excess levy funds a broad scope of the school district’s expenses, including salaries and benefits for professional and service personnel, athletics, learning materials like textbooks and digital resources, costs to pay for substitutes, building construction repair, new equipment and outside contracted services.
Levy rates remain unchanged, meaning no additional burden to the county’s taxpayers.
Since 1954, the excess levy has been passed regularly by public support every five years and now equates to more than 20 percent of the district’s operating budget — $24.1 million annually, or $120.6 million over the five-year life of the levy. If approved, the renewed levy would help fund the school district for fiscal years 2020 through 2024.
The levy also allocates annual funding for the Cabell County Public Library ($1.5 million) and the Greater Huntington Park & Recreation District ($455,229) as it has for decades under mandates by the West Virginia Legislature.

2 Nova Scotia schools extending March Break over COVID-19 concerns
The Nova Scotia Teachers Union says the province should consider making this a provincewide policy
Two Nova Scotia schools are extending March Break due to concerns over the coronavirus and the head of the Nova Scotia Teachers Union says that should happen across the province.
We'koqma'q Mikmaw School in Cape Breton will remain closed for a full week after March Break and King's-Edgehill School in Windsor will be closed for two weeks after the end of its March Break.
We'koqma'q Chief Rod Googoo said in a brief phone interview on Thursday that the community's school will close next week for March Break and will stay closed an extra week after that.
He said even though there are no known cases of COVID-19 in Nova Scotia, school officials will use the extra week to do a deep cleaning out of an abundance of caution. He said a lot of families in the community travel to and from New Brunswick, where there has there been one "presumptive" case of COVID-19.
March Break at King's-Edgehill runs from March 13-29 this year. In an email, headmaster Joseph Seagram said the private school will remain closed until April 13, because some students and families will be travelling internationally.
"Now that the virus is present in 114 countries, including Canada, the [World Health Organization] has declared it a pandemic ... We must do our bit to delay the arrival of the virus at our homes or here on campus," he said in a memo to parents, students and staff.
The memo outlines safe hygiene practices and says students will be schooled online during the extra two weeks.
On Wednesday, Nova Scotia Education Minister Zach Churchill said if a student is feeling OK after returning home from a trip abroad over March Break, that student should head back to class.
New Brunswick's education minister, on the other hand, is advising families to keep students at home for two weeks if they travelled internationally.
On Thursday, the Ontario government closed all publicly funded schools for two weeks following March Break. There are currently 59 cases in Ontario, including five listed as recovered.
Paul Wozney, president of the Nova Scotia Teachers Union, told CBC's Maritime Noon on Thursday that teachers across the province are looking to the Education Department for action, especially with flu season here and the potential spread of COVID-19.
He said no one is advocating panic, but teachers are especially concerned about March Break, because parents and students tend to travel and may be coming back from high-risk zones.
"The viability of keeping schools open is already something that the [Education Department] is wrestling with," said Wozney.
The teachers union has not had talks with the province on that, he said, but that needs to happen before the coronavirus makes it to Nova Scotia.
"Once it's here, you're really fighting an uphill battle to kind of keep it from negatively impacting the public, so you're better off to be heavy on your response preventively than you are to try to remediate once it's here," he said.
Michalle MacLeod, communications officer for the Cape Breton-Victoria Regional Centre for Education, said no decision has been made yet to extend March Break at public schools.
The Department of Education did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

On Tuesday evening in Tokyo (Tuesday morning in the United States), the first-ever Olympic races in the women’s 1500 meter freestyle were swum in Tokyo.
On the television broadcasts, there was some uncertainty as to whether the winner of the first heat, and the winner of each subsequent faster heat, was officially declared as an Olympic Record holder, as the official Olympic broadcast was not recognizing them as such.
As it turns out – that’s because they weren’t.
SwimSwam reached out to the Olympic Studies Center, which is the official research and record-keeping arm of the International Olympic Committee, to ask about which was the first Olympic Record.
According to them, that becomes a FINA question, as sport governing bodies are responsible for tracking and interpreting records, even Olympic records.
According to FINA’s new executive director Brent Nowicki, in new Olympic events, the fastest time following heats becomes the Olympic Record.
That means, officially, that Katie Ledecky, appropriately, will receive first official credit for the Olympic Record in this event. The same will be true later in the meet when the heats of the other two new Olympic events are swum – the mixed 400 medley relay and the men’s 800 free.
So Ledecky’s swim from the final heat of 15:35.35 stands as the official Olympic Record heading into the event final. Ledecky, of course, is the World Record holder in the event with a best time of 15:20.48, and though she hasn’t won gold yet through her first two event finals (silver in the 400, no medal in the 200), she is a prohibitive favorite to win this 1500 and lower her own Olympic Record.

Ofcom release disability awareness information.1st June 2010
Research commissioned by Ofcom into the needs of disabled people when using communications services showed that difﬁculty dealing with call centres was a common problem. The same issue is also regularly raised with us by disability organisations.
Things disabled people tell us include the following:
• Blind people have reported that call centre workers assume that callers can see and are unable to divert from the script – even when they know that the customer cannot do what they are asking, e.g. read a serial number
• Deaf people report that call centres regularly hang up when they call via the text relay service
• Hard of hearing people have told us that requests to speak more slowly are often ignored
• People who have learning disabilities or have suffered a head injury tell us that they ﬁnd menus and entering numbers (e.g. their account number) difﬁcult.
Ofcom is keen to promote good practice and to act on the issues raised with us by disabled users of communications services.
Why this matters
Making services more accessible to older and disabled consumers makes business sense. As the population gets older, this becomes even more important – for example, among people over the age of 60, 54% are deaf or hard of hearing and 8% are blind or partially sighted. The Disability Discrimination Act makes it illegal to discriminate on the grounds of disability in the provision of goods and services, and says that service providers must make reasonable adjustments to enable disabled people to use their services.
Top tips for call centre staff
• Speak clearly and into the microphone
• Don’t speak too quickly, and slow down if requested to do so
• Be prepared to repeat or rephrase
• Give the caller time to explain fully – don’t interrupt
• If you receive a call via the text relay service, don’t hang up – the relay assistant will help with the call. You can ﬁnd information about this service at www.textrelay.org
• Don’t assume the caller can see (for example, to read a serial number) – it may be necessary for someone else to help with this, so please be patient
Top tips for businesses using call centres
• All call centre staff should be given disability awareness training
• Offer customers the choice of contacting your business by post or email as well as phone
• When customers have to conﬁ rm complex details over the phone, offer them the chance to have information posted or emailed for conﬁrmation
• Call centre speech levels (at headset and system output) should meet international standards and should be checked on a regular basis
• If you advertise a textphone number, make sure that your staff know how to answer and use the textphone
Many services are now available by phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week. This has provided greater convenience and accessibility for many customers, including disabled customers who sometimes ﬁnd using high street shops and services difﬁcult. However, some disabled customers report a lack of disability awareness when dealing with call centres.


High-Speed Monitoring of Dust Particles in ITER ELMs Simulation Experiments with QSPA Kh-50
Keywords:ITER, ELMs simulation experiments, QSPA, plasma-surface interaction, tungsten dust.
AbstractDust generation under powerful plasma stream impacts has been studied in ITER ELM simulation experiments with QSPA Kh-50 plasma accelerator. Repetitive plasma exposures of tungsten have been performed by 0.25 ms plasma pulses and the heat load varied in the range (0.1÷1.1) MJm-2. Main characteristics of dust particles such as a number of ejected particles, their velocity, angular distribution and start time from the surface are investigated. Dust particles have not been observed under heat load below the cracking threshold. Quantity of dust particles rises with increasing heat load. Average velocities of dust particles are found to be strongly dependent on their start time from the surface after beginning of plasma-surface interaction. Maximal velocity achieved a few tens of meters per second.

Denmark will decide what to change in the legislation after the Danish Tax Agency found out that two-thirds of local transactions in cryptocurrencies are not taxed, Bloomberg reports. The Danish tax ministry claims that the country’s a century old tax code is not just designed to deal with cryptocurrencies.
Subscribe to our Telegram channel to stay up to date on the latest crypto and blockchain news.
"[The current tax code] dates back to 1922 and therefore does not take financial cryptocurrencies into account," said Morten Bødskov, the Danish Minister of Taxation.
According to the watchdog, approximately 16,000 individuals and companies in Denmark traded cryptocurrencies between 2015 and 2019. However, Denmark is not the only country to tighten regulation for the cryptocurrency market.
As iHodl earlier reported, South Korea's National Tax Service (NTS) announced that that Korean residents who hodl cryptocurrencies in foreign trading platforms will be obliged to report their hodlings for taxation starting 202. However, residents of South Korea will have to pay taxes only when the aggregate amount of their cryptocurrency balances exceeds 500 million won (~$447,900) at the end of each month.

Rockers usually like it hard and heavy, but it's okay for them to show a more sensitive side from time to time and that's what fans are getting with Filter's touching new clip for their current single, 'Surprise.'
Stone Temple Pilots are not wasting any time putting the wheels in motion with new singer Chester Bennington. The new STP lineup has revealed plans to hit the road this fall, in addition to a new EP to be released on their own label due out around the same time.
Filter are the latest band to tap into crowdsourcing as a means to bring their latest disc ‘The Sun Comes Out Tonight’ to live stages across the world. Launching a new campaign through Indiegogo, leaving their fate in the hands (and pockets) of their fans, Filter will be putting all of the funds raised through their efforts towards an upcoming world tour.
Filter unleashed their new album 'The Sun Comes Out Tonight' on June 4, and the band's frontman Richard Patrick and guitarist Jonny Radtke stopped by the Loudwire studio to discuss a number of topics during a video interview.

fruit flies in litter box & trying neem
Hello, IÂm new here. We just started WorldÂs Best Cat Litter & I do like it compared to the clay based. However, we have a major fruit fly problem. WeÂve had it before w/ clay litter but seem they are more drawn to the corn. I searched the posts in here on how to get rid of those flies, i.e. ACV, soap, water in a jar, which doesnÂt work. What I need help with is that they are in the used cat litter (the one we dump) AND in the litter boxes. I canÂt afford to clean the litter box often as WBCL, while good, is expensive for 5 cats. I prefer natural remedies. I have Neem oil & powder that works pretty well in the used but IÂd like to know if the powder is safe IN the litter box? I just never found an answer if itÂs okay in a litter box AND if it will kill the flies. As well as the ratio.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Btw, neem is used from anything to hair, acne, insecticide, flea control, safe, non-toxic for humans & pets. Not promoting these sites, just so people know what IÂm talking Âbout w/ Neem www.neemfoundation.org and www.neemamerica.org

Jazz Up Your Morning Coffee With these Tips
Breakfast is an essential meal of the day, and most of us accompany it with a cup of coffee. If you are a frequent drinker of coffee, you will admit that it can sometimes feel a bit repetitive and boring. Here are some fun ways you can jazz up your morning coffee, adding some excitement to your mornings.
If you are an ardent coffee drinker, a taste of freshly brewed coffee is enough to give your tongue the heavenly sensation. But if you want to include some extra flavor to your coffee, why not consider adding some flavored syrup? You can find the syrup at the big coffee shops and you can also get to buy some for home. There are myriad flavors including the pumpkin spice which is great during fall along with the Christmassy gingerbread. A a teaspoon of the syrup is all you need to get the extra flavor every morning.
Get a Different Roast
Coffee is availed in many different roasts that use different coffee beans. In most cases, people will find a roast they love and stick to using it. A typical breakfast coffee tends to have a medium roast, so if you have been drinking that all your life, it is time to try something else. You can try a lighter or darker coffee roast. Give a try to the dark roast as some of the best dark roast coffee is made by Italian companies, and their coffee is superb.
Add some Fancy
In most case, you might find out that when you make yourself coffee it is something that is boring. But you can add extra spice to your mornings by brewing a fancy little flat white, latte, or cappuccino. You only need something to froth up and heat milk, and you have that fancy cup of coffee. You can access loads of tutorials online that will help you make any of these beverages and add some fun to your mornings.
Have it Ice Cold
You can be more experimental by making your normal morning coffee then shove it in a blender with ice cubes. By simply doing that you get yourself an iced coffee. You can add some milk or cream to the mix and turn it into some milkshake. A fun little idea to help wake you up even more with a jolt of coldness. It is also a perfect morning drink during the hot months of the year.
You can try each of these ideas during the week, and you already have for yourself super alternatives to your normal morning coffee. Break the mold a little bit and have some fun first thing in the morning.

I've been watching an old favorite on DVD this afternoon, and at the risk of stealing blog themes from my pal at Red and White, allow me to make a suggestion to the video game industry: Instead of launching a video game based on the Ghostbusters movie, how about something on The Blues Brothers?
It would be strictly a racing game. Create a big-ass sandbox simulation of Chicago, give players simple missions of getting to a particular gig at a particular time, and then let'em go nuts. Of course, the longer you take, the more cop cars are in pursuit of you. And you can get extra points for particular stunts and what have you. With the movie license, you can play awesome music during the chases and just throw in quips by Jake and Elwood at random times.
Am I just crazy? Wouldn't this be an awesome game to play? Plus, even though their still criminals, they're a far cry from the thugs at GTA, so you could get a lower rating for it. Besides, parents don't have to worry. They're on a mission from God.

'LITTLE SISTERS' MEANING 'THE NUNS'. THE FIGURE OF NUN IN THE POLISH TV SERIES ('Siostrzyczki' czyli 'Siostry'. Figura zakonnicy w polskim serialu telewizyjnym)
Selected contents from this journal
Languages of publication
In the presented article the author analyses one of the lately produced Polish movie series, using the semiotic understanding of the text of culture as every significant complete body. There are used the notions of sign and code as well as the convention of representing and creating of reality in various texts: literary or audio-visual. Using this theoretical supply, that permits 'to read' the different products of culture as the texts: the internet pages, posters, performances, the literary text, billboards, computer games, paintings or television production the presented text takes as the object of analysis the way the nun figure is (re)constructed in the Sister's series produced by Polish Television. The author recognizes the television series as one of modern symptoms of the 'mythical speech', using for the analysis the anthropological methodological and theoretical apparatus.

The City of Moline in Illinois is one of the cities that make up the Quad cities metropolitan area, along with East Moline, Bettendorf, Rock Island and Davenport. It is located in the Rock Island county of Illinois and has a population of about 44,000 according to the 2010 census. It is the ninth most populated city in Illinois. It is bounded by East Moline on the east and Rock Island on the west and is about 165 miles from Chicago.
Moline is well connected by four interstate highways as well as the Quad City International airport. This has led to its healthy industrial growth as well as increase in the growth of the overall population. Moline is home to the corporate headquarters of Deere & Company, as well as Kone. Deere & Company is by far the largest employer in the city accounting for providing employment to over 6,000 people. The Moline High School District, second largest employer, provides employment to less than 1000 employees.
Moline has a rich industrial history, dating back as far as 1720. Starting with farming and fishing, the town attracted several industrial pioneers due to its abundance of water, coal and easy access to river for shipping. Once John Deere moved its headquarters to Moline in the 1848, the town saw an explosion of immigrants from Europe looking for work. The population grew by leaps and bounds and the town was well known to be a place for serious workers. Even today, Moline has seen progressive growth due to major efforts to revitalize its central business district. It is one of the civic and recreational hub of Quad Cities and is a modern town with several businesses serving the population.
There are many places for visitors to experience in Moline. John Deere Pavilion and the headquarters would be on the top of the list for any young farmers. Several tours are available at the facility, showcasing the rich history of tractors and other farm equipment. The i-wireless center is home to a number of large conventions, concerts and high school tournaments. There are several cruises that travel on the Mississippi and offer visitors scenic views of the city. There are 18 parks in the city catering to needs of the entire city. Riverside Park is home to the Riverside Family Aquatic Center. Prospect Park is home to the Quad city Music Guild. Ben Butterworth Parkway is a 4 mile long scenic trail that runs along the Mississippi river. There are several other recreational facilities in addition to the parks. The city also has its own minor league hockey and baseball teams.
There is so much to do in Moline, a small town with big city aspirations. It is loved by both visitors and its residents alike.

Do you think you’re ready to go gluten-free?
Don’t go gluten-free before you read this article. OK?
There is so much you need to do and know before you dive head first into the gluten-free diet, and there are many long-term repercussions of your choices and actions if you start now without doing a few important things first.
Going gluten-free is a MAJOR lifestyle change. It should not be something entered into lightly.
Additionally, many people start a gluten-free diet without ruling out serious conditions first and without getting a proper diagnosis. Not every digestive symptom is related to a gluten disorder and some symptoms could be the sign of a serious illness that might require treatment above and/or beyond the gluten-free diet.
I know telling you to NOT go gluten-free sounds counterintuitive to what I preach, as I’ve revealed that gluten causes an inflammatory response in most people who eat it; however, I truly want you to consider all your options, get a proper diagnosis, and do the gluten-free thing right before you enter into a gluten-free diet for life.
In other words, I’m telling you not to go gluten-free YET.
If you have celiac disease or a confirmed gluten sensitivity (or wheat sensitivity or allergy), you need to go gluten-free immediately. That is what happened with me. I started my lifelong gluten-free diet immediately after learning I had celiac disease. If you have celiac disease, proceed with the gluten-free diet.
But for the rest of you who are choosing to go gluten-free to see what happens without taking the time to rule out serious conditions or get a proper diagnosis, you must do the following FIRST.
Please note this post contains affiliate links.
(1) Get Tested for Celiac Disease
I believe everyone with symptoms of celiac disease should get tested for celiac disease before going gluten-free. The kicker is that in order to be tested for celiac disease, you MUST be eating gluten to get an accurate result.
To get tested for celiac disease, your doctor will first do a simple blood test. The blood test is 99 percent accurate if a positive celiac test is present, but there are many false negatives. In other words, if you have a positive blood test, you most likely have celiac disease, but if you have a negative test, you should consider undergoing an endoscopy procedure to biopsy your small intestine. The biopsy will look for things like villi atrophy and damage to your small intestine consistent with celiac disease. (Note: A positive blood test also should be followed up with a biopsy as well in order to give someone a gold standard confirmation of their diagnosis.)
If you have celiac disease, you obviously must go gluten-free right away; however, let’s take a step back. Maybe you’re wondering why it’s so important to have a proper celiac disease diagnosis in the first place. You might be thinking, “If I feel better not eating gluten, what does it matter if I have a proper celiac disease diagnosis or not, right?”
I know you might feel that way, but here are four key reasons you need to get tested for celiac disease before you go gluten-free:
1. Many people don’t take their self-diagnosed, self-imposed gluten-free diet as serious as someone with celiac disease. These gluten avoiders are more like to cheat on their gluten-free diet (“Just a little gluten won’t hurt,” is what I hear often), or they don’t worry about things like cross contamination in the deep fryer, for example.
However, if you have celiac disease, even a crumb of gluten will trigger an immune system attack of your small intestine and will continue to damage your body and keep you feeling sick. You might give up on your gluten-free diet because you think it’s not working, but the reason it isn’t working is because you’re still ingesting small bits of gluten and not taking your diet as serious as someone with celiac disease would take it.
2. You want to repair your body. If you have celiac disease, your gut is in shambles and must be repaired. You are at greater risk for acquiring other autoimmune conditions, as well as certain kinds of cancers, so knowing is the first step in treating the disease, as well as preventing and screening for future disorders.
Also, you have had difficulties absorbing vital nutrients from your food, likely for many years, if ever, and you may need to address moderate or severe nutritional deficiencies differently. If you have celiac disease, you must begin healing and nurturing your body in a different way than someone just going gluten-free because it seems like it might help them.
3. We need ACCURATE statistics. Researchers need to better understand the prevalence of celiac disease in the U.S. and worldwide. Right now, about one percent of the U.S. population has celiac disease, but researchers in Denver say they believe the rate of celiac disease to be “more than 3 percent” based on tests done on 1,339 babies born in Denver who were deemed at risk of developing celiac disease. (Source: “The Celiac Surge,” June 1, 2017. The Scientist) This means the prevalence of celiac disease may be much higher than experts initially thought and that more screening and diagnostics can help us get a more accurate picture of this potential epidemic.
Remember, as the number of cases of celiac disease rise, so does interest from researchers, doctors, pharmaceutical companies, etc. We are starting to see researchers develop celiac disease treatments, and I anticipate more money and time will be spent understanding and treating celiac disease in the future… but only if it affects enough people and, unfortunately, only if makes financial sense for companies to do so.
Last year, researchers at Rutgers University found the rates of celiac diagnoses stagnant for the first time since 2009. However, this number is skewed because so many people are self-diagnosing their conditions and choosing to follow a gluten-free diet without FIRST having ruled out celiac disease. When you don’t first rule out celiac disease before going gluten-free, you make it impossible to determine the true prevalence of the disease… and worse, researchers might think the number of cases is decreasing and believe the disease is resolving itself, when we all know that the real numbers are more likely than not on a steep incline.
4. You want to be eligible for future celiac disease treatments. If you have a confirmed celiac disease diagnosis, you will be eligible for future treatment options should they become available. However, if you don’t have a confirmed case of celiac disease, and let’s say a cure or viable treatment option is found, you may have to go back on eating gluten for many months before you can get tested for celiac disease. (Remember, you must be eating gluten for several months before you can get an accurate diagnosis.) No one on a gluten-free diet (who is already feeling better) wants to go back on gluten and feel horrible again. If I’ve caught you before you started the gluten-free diet, get tested for celiac disease. Please, do it right from the start so you don’t have to kick yourself later.
Please note that I do not advocate for anyone who is gluten-free and feels better to go back on gluten for the sake of getting tested for celiac disease. This article is intended for anyone who is contemplating the gluten-free diet and hasn’t ruled out celiac disease quite yet. I don’t want anyone to feel sick or exacerbate their symptoms.
(2) Get Tested for Gluten Sensitivities and Wheat Allergies, Too
If you’ve ruled out celiac disease, you should then get tested for a gluten sensitivity and a wheat allergy. Your doctor can direct you on how to best do that.
A gluten sensitivity — called non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) or non-celiac wheat sensitivity (NCWS) — can be detected with a simple blood test (Cyrex Labs currently has the gold standard test but you must talk to your doctor about getting tested via Cyrex. You can also do an at-home food sensitivity test via Everlywell, although it does not provide the same level of detection as Cyrex Labs).
Just like with celiac disease, you must be eating gluten in order to get an accurate diagnosis, so that’s why I encourage you to get tested BEFORE going gluten-free.
Here’s more food for thought:
An Italian study in 2015 of 35 people found that two-thirds of people self-diagnosed with NCGS showed no reaction to gluten when it was reintroduced after they had been already following a gluten-free diet. This means you could be following a strict gluten-free diet for no reason – and that something else might be the real cause of your digestive maladies.
The only way to know for sure is to get tested before you go gluten-free. Going gluten-free means you’ll be making a serious, life-altering change to your diet. You owe it to yourself and your family to get an accurate diagnosis first and foremost.
(3) Get an Accurate “Other” Diagnosis
If you’ve successfully ruled out celiac disease, a gluten (or wheat) sensitivity and a wheat allergy, but you still suffer from digestive, skin or other chronic ailments, continue talking to your doctor to work towards uncovering a proper diagnosis. Diarrhea, for example, can be caused by any number of things, including a parasite infection, and all options should be looked at thoroughly before going on a gluten-free diet. Chronic pain or itchy skin conditions, for example, may be caused by an allergy to something specific. Your doctor might uncover other autoimmune conditions that must be treated with a specific regimen in addition to a gluten-free diet. (Read Autoimmune Disease and the Undeniable Gluten Connection.)
You might have other conditions, like small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), candida or H.Pylori (read this detailed article from Holistic Help about the symptoms of each of these conditions), which might need to be treated with a combination of dietary changes and possibly antibiotics or antifungal medications prescribed by your doctor.
(4) Clean Up Your Diet
If you have ruled out celiac disease, a gluten sensitivity and other serious conditions, you might want to look at all the foods you’re eating that might be triggering your symptoms. Don’t be quick to blame gluten – as your digestive issues could be caused by any number of foods – or poor eating habits like excessive soda or sugary beverage drinking, excessive caffeine or sugar consumption, or lack of vegetables and essential nutrients in your diet. (You can do an at-home food sensitivity test to find out your reaction to nearly 100 foods commonly found in the American diet. Please follow up your food sensitivity tests with an elimination diet.)
Other causes of digestive maladies can include things like low activity and high stress. Perhaps you need to work out more, de-stress your life, sleep more (or better), and/or add more physical activity into your daily routine.
Also consider cleaning up your diet by taking out heavily processed foods, convenience packaged foods, and fast foods. Avoid genetically modified foods, chemicals, preservatives, artificial ingredients, food dyes, additives, etc. Instead enjoy real, whole foods that come from the produce section, not the packaged goods aisle. Adding whole foods to your diet WILL have real impact on your health. (If you have celiac disease or a gluten sensitivity, you also need to clean up your diet in order to heal).
Make lots of delicious green juices to soothe your digestive track and get a fast intake of essential nutrients. Take a high quality probiotic (50 billion CFUs or higher) to begin healing your gut by repopulating it with beneficial bacteria. Add a fish oil supplement to control inflammation. And take a daily multivitamin to ensure you’re getting the nutrients you need. (Read: How I Healed Myself from Celiac Disease.)
(5) Once You’re Ready to Go Gluten-Free…
Now that you’ve ruled out serious conditions and you’re eating a cleaner, healthier diet, I encourage you to remove gluten from your diet. It’s not good for you anyway and is very hard to digest. In fact, gluten is so hard to digest that it’s been widely linked as a key contributor to leaky gut syndrome.
Leaky gut is caused when undigested food particles break through the thin walls of your small intestine and enter your bloodstream (only nutrients should be entering your bloodstream, not food particles). Over time the damage to your intestinal wall allows food particles to “leak” out of it and into your bloodstream, causing a variety of maladies inside your body, usually wherever you are genetically weak.
However, before you take the gluten-free plunge voluntarily (i.e., not because you have to like someone with celiac disease or NCGS has to), remember these three things:
1. Avoid Gluten-Free Packaged Foods
Just because it’s gluten-free doesn’t mean it’s good for you. Gluten-free foods are often riddled with white flours and sugars – and many of them still include cheap, artificial and genetically modified ingredients too (although some GF products do offer up cleaner ingredient labels).
Try to eat more meals at home and focus on eating real, whole foods as much as possible while adding in a few packaged foods here and there to aid in your home cooking. For example, I love meatballs, but now I use gluten-free breadcrumbs instead of wheat-based breadcrumbs. Enjoy things like gluten-free breads, cookies, pizzas, bars, etc. in moderation. These packaged products are not going to aid in your healing.
2. Don’t Let Gluten Supplements Fool You
There are a slew of digestive enzymes on the market that tell you they will break down gluten upon accidental ingestion. I write about them in this article. These enzymes and supplements do NOT give you permission to cheat on your gluten-free diet… they are truly for times when you eat out and realize you’ve been accidentally glutened. Strict adherence to the gluten-free diet is mandatory if you want to see any benefits from your efforts. A little gluten will undo all your hard work, even if you’re only voluntarily gluten-free (i.e. no serious condition like celiac disease). Don’t fall into this trap.
3. Get Nutrition Advice and Help
When you’re ready to start a gluten-free diet, it’s important to get help so you do it right. Consult a nutrition coach – like me – to help you get started. A nutrition coach can help you make realistic, lasting changes to your diet and will put you on the path to healing and feeling your best self again.
Also, your coach can help you recreate some of your favorite foods in a gluten-free and healthier way, and he or she will ensure that you follow a gluten-free diet to the strictest level. (Gluten is hidden in everyday products, and if you want to give this lifestyle a fair shake, you need to be serious about being gluten-free.) A nutrition coach can give you the guidance and accountability you need to make these lasting, healthful changes in your life.
Please remember, don’t go gluten-free until you’ve ruled out celiac disease, NCGS and/or a wheat allergy. Being gluten-free is a life-changing experience and something that should not be entered into lightly. Do your due diligence, explore every avenue, and then proceed cautiously optimistically into what I believe to be the wonderful world of gluten-free living.

You get to enjoy a whole range of benefits when you consider getting an AR-15 rifle for yourself. For more fast facts about the AR-15 rifle and why you should consider getting it, read till the very end.
Customization is one of the characteristic traits of AR-15 rifles and one of the major benefits of using it. To achieve a custom AR-15 rifle, you can make use of parts and accessories that will fit your requirements well. If you want to modify or build the AR-15 rifle that you have, you can do so with your many choices of AR parts and AR accessories. The moment you start choosing what AR parts and AR accessories you can get, you are nearing achieving a custom AR-15 rifle of your own. One example will be beginning at the bare lower receiver part of your rifle that lets you choose from different AR parts in the market. On the other hand, you can also start with your carbine or complete rifle and have it transformed to whatever rifle type you have in mind according to laws.

You can choose to keep your lower group intact while swap your upper receivers throughout the day using different sights, handguard styles, barrel lengths, calibers, and more. If you keep your upper receivers intact, you can also switch your handguards. On the other hand, with a lower, you might need to do a bit of work in changing your shoulder stocks or you may easily swap the pistol grips that you have.

Drugs, violence worry Marlburians most
Transport safety, workplace and learning environments, alcohol and other drugs, rural and outdoor safety, safe homes, and community and family violence are the six key safety strands that most concern Marlburians.
The issues were identified in three community meetings as part of the process which began in May to get World Health Organisation accreditation for Marlborough.
More than 100 people from Marlborough spoke up about the safety issues they believe need addressing in the community.
Marlborough District Council safer communities manager Paul Johnson said although six strands have been identified as the key safety issues, vulnerable groups including children and youth, the over-65s, and migrant communities also have to be taken into account, as would education, access to services, and emergency preparedness.
Alcohol and drugs and community and family violence were two issues that really concerned people, while the child and youth issue was one of the primary concerns to everyone, Mr Johnson said.
The next step is a series of meetings for each strand. The group will do a stock take of the services available in the community, and analyse the gaps, he said.

Forging is the process of shaping metals such as gold and platinum by applying direct pressure to stretch and bend them.
Forging is a traditional technique that has been handed down in Japan since ancient times, and Japanese swords, knives, and other cutlery were also made using the forging method. In modern times, the number of craftsmen who have taken over forging techniques is decreasing, so just the fact that a wedding band is custom-made using the forging method is an attraction in itself. Forged rings themselves have a rare value in that they are not sold in accessory stores in town. People around you will think that it is a unique wedding band just by wearing it on your finger. There are two main ways to manufacture forged rings.
The traditional forging process
Forging by craftsmen’s hands
In this method, the base metal, which is the material for the ring, is heated to soften it, and then directly beaten or stretched to form a bar, which is then bent to form the ring. This is a traditional method where the craftsman’s unique skills and experience come into play.
Forging by machine
In this method, the base metal is compressed by a press, and the mass is punched into the shape of a ring by a machine or cut by a cutting machine. Unlike the hand forging method, it is possible to produce a large number of rings at once.
Features of the forging process
The forging process makes the ring strong and durable, so it can be sent for maintenance less frequently. If you have to send your ring for maintenance every time it gets deformed, it will cost you a lot of money. In the long run, a forged ring is a very cost-effective ring. Forged rings are also attractive because they are less expensive to maintain.
Forging increases the density of the metal, resulting in a smoother finish with a heavier overall feel. The hardness of the surface is also higher, resulting in a stronger shine when polished. Also, when the surface is processed, the craftsman will carefully beat it with a hammer to create a pattern, which conveys the warmth of the human hand. This is a major attraction of forging rings.
There are many simple designs
Since the forging process directly bends or shaves the metal that will be the material for the ring, it is said that it is more difficult to create delicate curves and complex designs than the casting process.
Example of a Forged Ring
PRINCESS 1 Tone/ MAILE
Each ring is hand-carved by Hawaiian craftsmen to create a unique design.
Katamu＝A ring that expresses the bond between two people through the forging process, and is also very comfortable to wear.
GJ-01/ Grand Jour
Dynamic design and flexible ring width
Although the ring design of the forging process tends to be simple, it is suitable for a ring that will be used for a lifetime. Forging is a way to create a ring so you still have the option to choose the materials such as yellow gold, white gold, pink gold and platinum. We hope you can find a ring that is satisfactory for you both, comparing various aspects such as budget and comfort.

The Refugee Hub's partners in the community undertake important high-level research, grass-roots work, and advocacy.
Human Rights and Resource Education Centre
Established in 1981, the Human Rights Research and Education Centre (HRREC) is one of the oldest human rights research centres in North America and the only one located in the National Capital Region. Its membership is comprised of researchers specialized in law, social sciences and the arts. The HRREC strives to bring educators, researchers, and students together with practitioners with a multi- and inter-disciplinary perspective, in order to promote the respect of human rights and explore the effective protection and enjoyment of such rights for everyone everywhere. The HRREC benefits from a bilingual and bijuridical environment, as well as its strategic location in the national capital. The HRREC places emphasis on certain public interest issues, including migrant rights and immigration policy. For instance, the HRREC:
- coordinates expert panels, documentary screenings and other educational events on migrant / non-citizen rights, and on the human rights implications of forced migration;
- hosts graduate students and research fellows conducting research on forced migration; and
- provides space and logistical support for the University of Ottawa Refugee Assistance Project, and for the University of Ottawa student chapter of the Canadian Association of Refugee Lawyers.
Canadian Association of Refugee Lawyers
Founded in 2011, the Canadian Association of Refugee Lawyers (CARL) serves as an informed national voice on refugee law and human rights, and promotes just and consistent practices in the treatment of refugees in Canada. CARL, a non-profit and non-partisan organization, carries out its work promoting the human rights of refugees in the courts, before parliamentary committees, in the media, among its membership via bi-annual conferences, and elsewhere in the public sphere.
CARL’s membership includes over 250 lawyers, academics, and law students from across Canada. Relying on the broad experience of this membership, CARL has a mandate to research, litigate, and advocate on refugee rights and related issues.
Capital Rainbow Refuge
Founded by members of Ottawa’s LGBTQ community, including uOttawa Professor Nicole LaViolette, Capital Rainbow Refuge (CRR) is a diverse group of professionals, lawyers, law students and other community members strongly committed to Canada’s tradition of refugee sponsorship and resettlement.
Through the work of Professor LaViolette, CRR has developed strong links to uOttawa’s Faculty of Law. CRR collaborates with student members of CARL uOttawa and OUTLaw (uOttawa’s LGBTQ Law Students’ Association), sharing its knowledge and experience with the sponsorship side of Canada’s refugee system.
In 2012, uOttawa students supported CRR’s sponsorship and local resettlement of a lesbian couple who fled their homeland because of persecution based on gender and sexual orientation. More recently, CRR has been supporting the resettlement of a gay couple from the Middle East who face violence and harassment because of their sexual orientation.
Refugee 613 is a coalition of citizens, settlement agencies, sponsorship groups and community partners working to provide refugees with the building blocks of successful integration: a warm welcome and access to key services, opportunities and support. As a non-partisan, grassroots effort, they aim to build on Ottawa's settlement services by providing their partners and the public with information, connection and inspiration.
Refugee 613 works hard to keep the public informed on refugee issues in Ottawa and across the country through a variety of platforms. Their team regularly convenes important stakeholders to discuss the health, housing, and policy challenges facing newcomers and to work collaboratively towards effective solutions. Refugee 613 also seeks to inspire the public to become involved in their communities by sharing stories and insights of what Ottawa is doing to welcome refugees through their website, blogs and events.
Refugee Sponsorship Training Program
The Refugee Sponsorship Training Program (RSTP) is a program designed to support the Sponsorship Agreement Holders (SAHs) of Canada, their Constituent Groups, Groups of Five and Community Sponsors on a national level (excl. Quebec).
The objective of the RSTP is to address their information and on-going training needs as well as the initial information needs of sponsored refugees. The RSTP regularly hosts training sessions for potential sponsors in partnership with the Hub’s Refugee Sponsorship Support Program (SSP) in Ottawa and across the country.

We Live Here introduces us to Rockey, a woman experiencing homelessness. When a 'sweep' of the park she lives in causes her to flee we are left in her tent. There, she invites us to explore her belongings. Rockey lives in a tent in a park. We meet her on the day police and sanitation workers come to clear the park of the homeless people seeking shelter there. Rockey flees, unable to salvage her personal belongings. Through interactivity, explore Rockey’s personal objects, objects that hold Rockey’s memories and illustrate her past. Pick up her journal to reveal an animated poem, the story of the first homeless man Rockey saw when she was ten. Find a small wooden box filled with Rockey’s photos. Wind up a music box to hear Rockey’s dream of having a home again. Pick up a small cut out of a motorcycle and open up a psychedelic animation telling the story of the day Rockey got married on the back of a motorcycle on her way to Sturges. Finally, a novel from Rockey’s childhood opens to reveal an animation of Rockey’s last desire - to be a cowboy.

On October 24, 1931, eight months ahead of schedule, New York governor Franklin D. Roosevelt dedicates the George Washington Bridge over the Hudson River. The 4,760-foot–long suspension bridge, the longest in the world at the time, connected Fort Lee, New Jersey with Washington Heights in New York City. “This will be a highly successful enterprise,” FDR told the assembled crowd at the ceremony. “The great prosperity of the Holland Tunnel and the financial success of other bridges recently opened in this region have proven that not even the hardest times can lessen the tremendous volume of trade and traffic in the greatest of port districts.”
Workers built the six-lane George Washington Bridge in sections. They carried the pieces to the construction site by rail, then hauled them into the river by boat, then hoisted them into place by crane. Though the bridge was gigantic, engineer Othmar Amman had found a way to make it look light and airy: in place of vertical trusses, he used horizontal plate girders in the roadway to keep the bridge steady. Amman used such strong steel that these plate girders could be relatively thin and as a result, the bridge deck was only 12 feet deep. From a distance, it looked as flimsy as a magic carpet. Meanwhile, thanks to Amman’s sophisticated suspension system, that magic carpet seemed to be floating: The bridge hung from cables made of steel wires–107,000 miles and 28,100 tons of steel wires, to be exact—that were much more delicate-looking than anything anyone had ever seen.
The bridge opened to traffic on October 25, 1931. One year later, it had carried 5 million cars from New York to New Jersey and back again. In 1946, engineers added two lanes to the bridge. In 1958, city officials decided to increase its capacity by 75 percent by adding a six-lane lower level. This deck (the New York Times called it “a masterpiece of traffic engineering,” while other, more waggish observers referred to it as the “Martha Washington”) opened in August 1962.
Today, the George Washington Bridge is one of the world’s busiest bridges.

Where was this picture taken? I imagine you've already guessed that it's Yellowstone, since the brilliant colors and the bubbling spring are giveaways.
Since many of us are not traveling as much this year as we have in the past, I thought I'd devote my July Wednesday in Wyoming posts to a virtual tour (translation: five pictures) of my favorite place on Earth. (Yellowstone is also one of the reasons my husband and I moved to Wyoming, but that's another story.)
Back to this picture. Does the bubbling water make you think you should dip your hand into it? You shouldn't, of course, since it's scalding hot and smells of sulfur, but that's the beauty of a photograph - none of that is obvious.

Terrance A. Dance, suffragan bishop of the diocese of Huron announced last week that he will be retiring as of December 31, 2015.
“I think we’re in a process now of moving from the church that was, through the church that is to the church that will be,” he said, “and I think it’s time for me to move aside and let new vision and new energy and the next generation of leadership to move in.”
Dance, 63, told the Anglican Journal that he had made the decision in October of last year, following a four-month sabbatical. “A big part of it is that my wife retired last June…and after a long, long time of being in the church and having my time take me away from my family, I just thought it is time for me to look in different directions and bring my active ministry to an end and spend time with my wife. And I’m fairly excited about that.”
After his retirement, Dance plans on spending time with his daughter in Vancouver and with his new grandchild in London, Ont., and travelling more generally. He also plans to work on contextual Bible studies.
“That, really, has become a passion of mine,” he said, “And I think it’s a way for me to give a gift to the church, to indulge my passion for it, and be able to do that without all the things that drain the energy of bishops today.”
One of the biggest challenges Dance faced in his seven years of episcopal ministry was the declining numbers of parishioners, which, coupled with a general trend toward depopulation outside of urban areas, made operating along traditional parish lines difficult in a predominantly rural diocese.
“It has been just an honour and a privilege and an incredible joy to be a bishop,” said Dance. “I love the work. But by December 31st I will have been in ordained ministry 39 years and eight months. It’s time.”
Dance was elected suffragan bishop on March 28, 2009. Ordained a priest in the diocese of Huron in 1977, Dance served in various parishes around the diocese before becoming rector of St. Paul’s Cathedral, London, in 2001, a post he held until rising to the episcopacy.
He holds a bachelor of arts from London’s University of Western Ontario (now Western University), as well as a master of divinity and a doctor of divinity (juris dignitatis) from its affiliate Huron University College.

‘Theaters of Fear’ Movie Review
One associated with the most troubling movies I have ever seen. Just what I don’t know will be who caused it to be or why. I really do not think it had been Noticed. I think it had been somewhere in in between. It makes me shiver after i think about it.
“The Night Before Halloween” stars Tom Hanks as a radio DJ who heads from the special broadcast to get a Halloween special. The night before he gets the call from his boss to proceed on the atmosphere and scare individuals. He gets extremely nervous and excites the crowd along with his caller’s tone of voice and fright songs. Well, the masses gets quite frightened and start contacting in their Halloween night telephone calls. They tell him they were upward late writing apprehension stories.
The movie commences with an strange sequence. We bounce to the present day and we view a reports report over a serial killer sm 카지노 which is about the loose. Then quickly jumps towards the actual Halloween celebration and we are shown a parade of individuals dressed upward as different terrifying characters. This is a little bit hard to ingest all the clothing. Nonetheless it is enjoyable to determine people in costumes!
Hanks plays typically the owner of a new radio station. He or she gets the sensors racking call coming from his boss in order to come on the particular air and scare many people. He agrees to do this and goes through all the horrifying outfits, but he ends up setting up a terrible mistake. Typically the parade of Halloween “characters” are actually more than a few people inside costumes. The film even tries to keep the impression going by displaying one of the evil villains running away while the “chasers” catch him.
As one personality walks by, he drops his briefcase on the surface and says “This is a test”. Then we cut in order to the man who else had dropped his briefcase, leaving blood everywhere. Well, it really is one scene, but it is certainly very disturbing! I want someone had advised us that people would be seeing a guy with a hemorrhaging hand after using off his pants for the video cameras.
One of many scariest moments within the film occurs any time one of the particular chase scenes takes place in typically the forest. We are introduced to some very strange creatures who else walk upright like humans but are actually covered within very large animal epidermis. These creatures are in fact a group of giant bugs.
They proceed to attack the human being chasing the particular real victim. There is a scream and the poor guy comes towards the ground. All of us then cut in order to a man inside the woods chopping down some massive trees. I identified this to end up being one of the particular scariest scenes within the entire film.
When discussing this motion picture with others, many have commented they think the genuine monsters in this film will be the clowns that chase the particular people. This is certainly true. In case you want in order to make your Halloween celebrations truly frightening, try turning them into a Halloween festival. You may rent a few video clips from YouTube in addition to turn each one in to a monster video. Then you could invite typically the neighborhood kids above for a big party and frighten everyone with the loud noises plus jump scares. Just don’t leave your own house without having to turn upon the television!
The storyline of the motion picture concerns a team of college learners who become Terrorists. One of these students is usually seen as the leader of the team. He is captivated with getting the attention from the female college student. Through the entire film a single can see him planning his attack on a University. At one level he has a conversation with the little girl who is waiting for your pet at a bus stop.
Typically the bus gets caught in crossfire plus one of the college students gets hit inside the head. One other one gets paralyzed. The film flashes back to show this paralyzed one was one associated with the students at the center school. The authorities find that the particular person was intending to bomb the school and they also capture him.
In summary, this is a film that had me personally in stitches. No matter what anyone says, this is usually one of typically the best horror films I have actually seen. I want they would make more of these.
