There are some behind-the-scenes movie stories that are so famous, it’s hard to separate what you know about a production from the finished picture. Such is the case with writer and director Troy Duffy’s debut, The Boondock Saints, an action thriller with a history almost as larger-than-life as the one it depicts on screen.
Initially the toast of Hollywood’s trade newspapers when the spec script was picked up by Harvey Weinstein in 1997, the resulting Boondock Saints movie ended up as a barely-distributed indie picture with a grim critical response. So what went wrong, and was it really as bad as the 90s critics suggested?
In 1997, Troy Duffy was riding a crest of success and media celebrity. His script had just sparked a bidding war among Hollywood producers, and Miramax’s Harvey Weinstein ultimately won, picking up The Boondock Saints – a story about Irish vigilantes cutting a swathe through Boston’s gangland – for a reported $300,000. For Duffy, a barman who’d been inspired to write the story after witnessing a drug dealer steal money from a dead body outside his apartment, this was a huge moment – and the Hollywood press, with a nose for rags-to-riches stories, was quick to pick up on the sale.
Weinstein’s deal sounded like something from a dream, too: as well as the script, Duffy was given the chance to direct, while his band, The Brood, could produce the soundtrack. The producer even threw in the bar Duffy worked in as an added sweetener to the deal.
As captured in the documentary Overnight, things were initially looking promising for Duffy’s movie. A healthy budget of $15 million was set aside, and the script had attracted an extraordinary range of talented actors – Ethan Hawke, Keanu Reeves and Kenneth Branagh were all mentioned, while Jeff Goldblum and Mark Wahlberg were among the visitors to Duffy’s bar.
Gradually, as the documentary records, the deal went sour. Duffy’s brusque approach to dealing with producers and actors made him few friends, and by December 1997, Miramax had pulled out. The much smaller production company Franchise Pictures stepped in – albeit with a much less generous budget of around $6million – and Boondock Saints finally began shooting the following year.
Despite all the setbacks, Duffy remained resilient. “I’m not worried about making enemies with Miramax,” he says in one part the Overnight documentary. “In fact, I’m looking forward to it…”
Wearing its Tarantino and Hong Kong ‘heroic bloodshed’ influences on its sleeve, The Boondock Saints is a dementedly loud, wilfully artificial thriller. Sean Patrick Flanery and Norman Reedus star as Connor and Murphy McManus, a pair of Irish-American brothers who resolve to clean up the organised crime element in Boston. The bizarre self-defence killing of three Russian mobsters is the flashpoint for the film’s events, which sees the McManus brothers, apparently appointed by God himself, arm themselves and take on the town’s rival factions face-to-face.
After the pair slay an entire hotel room full of Russian mobsters, the smart, histrionic FBI agent Paul Smecker (Willem Dafoe) is put on the case, and the rest of the film plays out as a kind of cat-and-mouse between the law and the vigilantes.
In a tricksy, Tarantino-esque storytelling move, The Boondock Saints shows the aftermath of the brothers’ crimes before the bloody events themselves. We see Dafoe picking over the evidence – whether it’s a gangster mysteriously crushed by a falling toilet bowl, or another hoodlum with his eyes missing and a pair of coins thrust into the vacant cavities – before we cut back to Connor and Murphy carrying out their brutal executions.
In some ways, this renders the procedural scenes redundant, since we know who the killers are and what they’re up to long before Smecker does. But thanks to Smecker’s slick-mouthed cunning and Dafoe’s game, camp operatic performance, the aftermath sequences become far more compelling than the scenes of bloodletting. Only one shoot-out – which involves the brothers shooting bad guys while spinning upside-down from a rope, like a chandelier of death – matches the visual imagination of John Woo in his prime.
Flanery and Reedus provide solid performances, but it could be argued that their characters are barely in the film. Often seen spouting grandiose statements of justice and revenge, they’re less interesting to watch than Smecker, whose verbal sparrings with the incredibly dim cops beneath him are a constant highlight. They’re also eclipsed by Rocco (David Della Rocco, in a part written especially for him), a sweaty, constantly panicked mob errand boy turned vigilante sidekick.
And then there’s Billy Connolly, who shows up as a convicted murderer turned two-fisted gunman. Even after repeat viewings, the sight of seeing Connolly engaged in screaming, slow-motion fire-fights – particularly one where Dafoe stands in the foreground, manically conducting an invisible choir – takes a bit of getting used to.
Then again, The Boondock Saints is never afraid to call attention to its own absurdity. “Television is to blame for this,” Agent Smecker opines while surveying one scene of destruction. “They’ve seen some bad television. This is James Bond shit, that’s what this is. Professionals don’t do this!”
This self-consciousness is very much in the post-Tarantino mould, as are the sundry moments of violent excess. A gratuitous executed cat appears to be a calculated attempt to add a jab of mid-point black humour akin to the accidental shooting of Marvin in Pulp Fiction. And by the time Willem Dafoe turns up on a Mafia boss’s doorstep dressed as a woman in the third act, it’s a wonder whether Duffy’s referencing an infamous plot point from Brian De Palma’s Dressed To Kill.
Unfortunately, the film’s second half doesn’t match the intrigue of the first. Although the characters are cartoonish – particularly an Irish bar owner, who’s unlucky enough to suffer from both a stutter and Tourette’s syndrome – and the dialogue ranting and chaotic, the structure maintains the momentum. It’s interesting to see Smecker pick apart what Connor and Murphy have been up to. But as the violence intensifies in the last 50 minutes, the story disintegrates into a narrative sludge, with even the precise, calculating Smecker devolving into a perspiring, desperate maniac.
It’s disappointing, too, to see his plot strand largely abandoned in favour of a greater focus on the brothers’ dealings with the Mob, and the true identity of Billy Connolly’s initially nameless character is truly a plot twist too far.
Having said all this, The Boondock Saints is by no means an amateurish failure, and it’s not difficult to see why it’s gained a cult following on DVD over the past decade or so. Duffy’s weird parallel world of gangsters and avengers isn’t exactly pleasant, but it is fully formed in a comic-book sort of way. It’s a grim, chaotic film, but then, it’s as much of a trashy, violent fantasy as, say, 2003’s Kill Bill Vol 1 – if not nearly in the same league technically.
Had The Boondock Saints remained under the Miramax banner, its cast would have been very different. At one point, Kenneth Branagh may have been in the running to play Agent Smecker (before Duffy’s rather rude voicemail message on Branagh’s answer machine probably nipped this casting opportunity in the bud). At another time, actors as varied as Patrick Swayze, Sylvester Stallone, Bill Murray and Mike Myers were considered. As it turns out, Dafoe’s casting was a master stroke, since he’s by far the most compelling thing about the movie. Certainly, it’s difficult to imagine Stallone pulling off such wild performance, or agreeing to flirt with a gangster while wearing a dress and full make-up.
Duffy’s parting with Miramax may have had a far greater impact on The Boondock Saints than the casting and budget, however. Not only were other producers in Hollywood conspicuously reluctant to pick up the script after the Miramax deal fell apart, but the finished film also struggled to find a distributor after it was finished. Eventually gaining a limited release in US cinemas, The Boondock Saints’ financial impact was almost non-existent, and its critical reaction was no doubt partly informed by the negative buzz surrounding the production following Miramax’s very public departure.
Despite his late 90s fall from grace, Duffy managed to garner a victory of sorts when The Boondock Saints appeared on DVD. Rapidly becoming a cult hit, the movie spawned a belated sequel – 2009’s The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day – and Duffy is currently writing a third entry.
As depicted in Overnight – shot over four years by two former friend’s of Duffy’s – the story of The Boondock Saints appears to be one of booze-fuelled arrogance, burned bridges and missed opportunities. And while we certainly can’t take everything in the documentary at face value – Duffy has, understandably, said it was edited to make him look like a “boorish asshole” – it’s hard to shake the feeling that the young writer and director had the self-confidence and talent to get a great start in a famously tough industry, but not the self-restraint to survive in a climate that requires a certain amount of trust and collaboration as well as sheer bluster.
Whatever took place behind the scenes, that The Boondock Saints finally got made is something of a marvel in itself. And while the finished film has more than its fair share of faults, it’s full of moments that stick in the mind – not least Willem Dafoe’s flamboyant performance, and Billy Connolly as the most unlikely hired killer of the 1990s.

Acclaimed by critics and readers on its first publication in 1987, winner of the Locus Award for Best First Novel, Emma Bull's War for the Oaks is one of the novels that has defined modern urban fantasy. Eddi McCandry sings rock and roll. But she's breaking up with her boyfriend, her band just broke up, and life could hardly be worse. Then, walking home through downtown Minneapolis on a dark night, she finds herself drafted into an invisible war between the faerie folk. Now, more than her own survival is at risk—and her own preferences, musical and personal, are very much beside the point. By turns tough and lyrical, fabulous and down-to-earth, War for the Oaks is a fantasy novel that's as much about this world as about the other one. It's about real love and loyalty, about real music and musicians, about false glamour and true art. It will change the way you hear and see your own daily life.

FAT HER. Editorial design & art research project. 96 pages.
The design of this book is articulated from a conceptual starting point. It plays with the emptying/filling of voids by means of white spaces where the eye rests and others where you see a deliberate attempt to fill the voids, to ease horror vacui. FAT HER is a project that starts from a self-image and body fat obsession which allowed me to revisit the origins of the constant thoughts around body image. I began a similar simultaneous quest between this and another subject I had never spoken about, that of the father (as a pronoun and as a subject). The search for the father began as a detective game whose rule was to find out how correlated my obsessive history and rejection with my body would with the history of my father’s non-history. I do not have a father, I am the daughter of capitalism.

We are going home for Xmas! I am looking so much forward to go cross country skiing. There is not that much snow in Black forest, but with a little bit of luck it will snow on Thursday. I am checking the weather forecast all the time and hoping the temperature curve will stay under the 0 degrees line. This means snow!
The biathlon stadium on http://www.notschrei-loipe.de should have artificial snow, so skiing will be possible. Yeah!

Bummer, I have an injury. A couple a weeks ago I was out stand up paddle boarding (SUPing). First I thought my hip got really tired from it and the muscles became sore. This soreness never really disappeared and the complete knock out was last Friday when I did a 10km run. After 3km I should have stopped because of the pain, but as a former athlete and a person who never gives up I continued. The result from this is now complete rest and some voltaren.
After 3 days of no exercise I almost start to climb up the walls. This morning my husband helped me to carry down our to the beach, so there it is waiting for me. Now off to work at Aspire and as I come back I will go out paddling…. :-)

As many of you know the Worlds in cycling road racing is taking place in Doha in 2016. Qatar is hosting another big sport event. Qatar has a men’s team, they have boys, but until now there has not been any girls riding their bikes. This has now changed. As some of you might remember, the cycling federation started a project last spring. Our goal was to get a group of girls who wants to ride their bikes. We have now reached the next step of the project. We have a group of 10 girls and training can start.
Cycling has been my life and it is my life and now I can share my experience and knowledge to these girls by being their coach. Qatar’s national team coach.

The sport of triathlon has arrived in Doha! It is about time. UAE has come a bit further when it comes to organizing sporting events, but Qatar is doing really well now. With GMC Triathlon Series (4 events during this winter) and the first ever Marathon, which will be held on 10.1.2014, all leisure time athletes will have a goal to aim for.
Today’ striathlon was organized by TriClubDoha. This club was founded last spring and they did a great job to make all things go smoothly in Aspire park. The swim was in Aspire Academy’s pool and we started with 30 secs intervals. I do prefer mass starts, because in a pool things usually become a bit stressful when trying to overtake slower swimmers. My swimming was not super today, but also not too bad. I knew that the pretty technical (lot of corners) cycling course would suit me. Anyway, I think was a bit too sure about myself and not paying enough attention to the different road surfaces in the cycling course. I came a bit too fast into the first R/A and almost slipped away. After this incident I had more repect for the slippery clinchers :-)
I was quite happy about my running. It felt very good and I had a good 3’45” pace. If you want to have a look at the results, here they are.
After doing 2 triathlons and 1 aquathlon I start to know Doha’s triathlon community. It is very international with people from all over the world. I like this as you can learn so much from other people and other countries.

Another day, another competiton. Yep, the weekends here in Doha can be very active. It is up to you how you spend a weekend. There are people who love the shopping malls and people who tend to spend their free time here in Doha by doing various sports. I often hear people saying there is nothing you can do here and many of our friends keep on saying that “it must be terrible to live in the desert because you can’t do anything”. You are all completely wrong! Yesterday I had a great morning in Dukhan, today a great morning at Aspire Park participating in an aquathlon (500m swim + 5km run) and I just came back from a kayaking tour with my husband. There is nothing to do? Yes, for active people there is a load of things to do.
Next Friday the Century ride is taking place here in Doha. It is a 100mile bike ride, or if this sounds a bit too long you can do 100km. There is also supposed to be another triathlon on Saturday.
Guess you now are wondering how i did in the aquathlon. Not too bad. I finished 2nd in the women’s category and 5th overall. If you want to have a look at the results, you find it here

Folks! I am back! I haven’t been updating my homepage for a long long time. Why? I have been lazy and I have been thinking you might not even be interested to know what I am up to nowadays. Well, I will try to change this and update my homepage on a more regular basis.
After a great summer home in Europe, in Finland, Germany and Switzerland, (I took part in a UCI coaching course in Aigle and became a certified UCI Cycling Coach). I returned to Doha mid September. My work at Aspire Girls Center started right away with some cycling session planning to do. Good to have something to do, especially when it is something you like and enjoy.
So the days have been filled with work and some exercise since that. I still love sports and I how found running to be my new sport. In September it was still a bit hard to go out for a run because of the heat and high humidity. Now it is completely different. It is not hot anymore, it is warm and this makes exercising outside much easier. Enjoyable in other words.
With the winter coming the sports event season starts here as well. I already did a 10-mile run 2 weeks ago. It was quite an experience. The race was at the US Army base and I had to be at the gate 3.30 in the morning. the start was 5 o clock. The car was checked before I could enter the base and a bus picked all the participators up and brought us to the start. The day was indeed interesting, but getting up 2 o’clock was a bit too early. It is in the middle of the night! On the other hand it was an experience that I will not forget and the event was well organized. After the run we were offered breakfast wich made the morning complete.
Today I did a triathlon in Dukhan. Dukhan you find when you drive across the country and before you hit the sea. Probably better known as the Qatar Petroleum area. Dukhan has s beautiful beach with crystal clear water. If you would cross the sea you would hit Saudi Arabia. If you still not know where Dukhan is. Google it :-)
The swimming leg was in the open sea wich made me a bit worried. I am not really comfortable when 100 starters rush into the water and starts to swim. I have always been ran over and I thought the same would happen today. But no! I got some good advice from my husband how to tackle the first part of the swim and actually I came out of the water in 4th place! Then off for cycling. I have my road bike here, so no problem to take part in triathlons. Not really the best aerodynamic position, but what the heck. It is just “racing for fun” nowadays :-) After the cycling leg I was about a minute behind the leading woman. I knew that my running is not too bad and that there is a tiny little chance to pass her. I did and I crossed the finish line as the first, even before any man. This was quite a great moment for all female spectators. Not very often a woman is faster than a man. Also the second position of the day was taken by a woman. So great day for us ladies!

Two jailed after Norfolk police crack human trafficking ring
The main figure in a human sex trafficking ring which brought woman from Lithuania to Norfolk has been jailed for a total of 11 years.
Nerijus Lekecinskas, 33, of Meadowland Drive, Bradwell, was sentenced at Norwich Crown Court today after being found guilty earlier this month of controlling a person in prostitution for gain, trafficking within the UK for sexual exploitation and one count of rape. He was found not guilty of another count of rape.
Joining him in the dock was Skirmantas Kvedaras, 47, of no fixed address but formerly of Issacs Road, Great Yarmouth, who was jailed for six years, after earlier being found guilty of one count of rape and not guilty of another.
The sentences follow a lengthy-investigation launched in December 2009 by Norfolk Constabulary's Vulnerable Persons' Directorate after a Lithuanian woman raised concerns to police in London about people trafficking by a group based in Great Yarmouth.
The investigation, codenamed Operation Feed, led to a number of warrants being carried out at homes across Great Yarmouth on October 13 last year.
You may also want to watch:
More than 40 police officers were involved in raids in South Yarmouth, Cobholm and Bradwell, which led to the arrest of the prime suspect Lekecinskas and seven others.
In June a 34-year-old man and 24-year-old woman, arrested as part of the investigation, were dealt with for their involvement in arranging scam marriages.

White Plains City School District
Niche User: As a graduate of White Plains High school, I take much pride in this school and I think it prepared me for the educational level in college.The different advanced classes and the support of teachers, either by helping at lunch or after school, were very helpful in learning the content and making that everyone reached their potential.Also, different clubs, activities like spirit week, and sports made that everyone felt included and join in the pride of being a tiger (which is the school animal). The staff, especially the counselors, were supportive when we had doubts about the future, which for me was very often.
Just graduated this year and not being able to have the senior experience was very hard. Not just for me, but for my family to be able to see me receive my diploma in front of everyone.It was a year in where the school, attaining the health measurements, gave us that encouragement by organizing car parades or writing to us to help us begin that new chapter in our lives.

Serah Teshna Shares Tough Balance Between Motherhood and Acting: "The Sweat and Tears"
- Igiza actress Serah Teshna has narrated the tough experiences she has had in her career and doubling up as a mother
- The thespian noted she has had to sacrifice time from her family to concentrate on her career, which has been tough for her
- She added that working long and odd hours either during the day or night has been overwhelming, but she had to do it for her fans
Kenyan footballer Victor Wanyama's lover Serah Teshna has opened up about the challenges she faces as an actress and a mother.
The mother of one noted it takes a lot of sacrifices and hard work to balance the two roles in the ever-demanding entertainment industry.
Teshna took to her Instagram stories, sharing a heartfelt post that read in part:
Amber Ray's Bae Kennedy Rapudo Savagely Responds to Fan Who Claimed She'll Dump Him Soon: "Don't Be Bitter"
"So much goes on that you guys don't get to see... the sweat, blood and tears, sometimes it can be overwhelming, but we put in to give you guys a good show."
The actress is currently in Montreal Canada with her footballer boyfriend Wanyama and they were seen cruising in a posh vehicle admiring the sky scrappers.
See the video below:
Working odd hours
She added that it has taken her working odd hours, filming day and night while still doubling up to be the best mother for her child.
"Giving away your social life and the time to be with family... It was a lot. One day I will tell you guys this story."
Not seen hubby for 4 months
On Saturday, June 04, 2022, TUKO.co.ke reported that Teshna has been apart from Wanyama for the past four months.

The actress stated that this was the most difficult time for her family as they were apart.
She also said her new role in the Kenyan series, Igiza, was quite demanding of her time.
There are times she could go for days without seeing her son Arel because she could go out while he was sleeping or go back home past his bedtime.
"This character is so demanding I'm looking forward to going back to being a mum and a wife I've not seen him in four months me and the baby have been in Kenya and when I'm done, we will go back to where he is," she stated.

An homage to Karl Lagerfeld or just a coincidence, bouclé and tweeds are back on the fashion menu and looking particularly natty in jacket form. It's a trend we know the high street does well (Zara are particularly skilled in this department), so I'd imagine this will become available at a lower price point and may take the place of your parka/biker/bombers when it comes to flinging a jacket over any given outfit. You could go the whole nine yards and wear it with a matching skirt (see Gucci) or dress (Brock Collection), but we also liked Louis Vuitton's leather trousers idea.

Her outfits are worn throughout the world.
"A/W is always a moment for incredible outerwear, and this season it was no exception. For the most part, it was the bigger the better; oversized shapes, duvet dressing, blanket capes and more," says Elizabeth von der Goltz, Net-a-Porter global buying director. "Oversized cannot be mentioned without talking to the trench coat and the bigger the better with billowing sleeves at JW Anderson, cape draping at Burberry and classic maxi coats at Khaite. Big coats marked the opening of the Max Mara runway in blue, yellow and teal. Hot pink was the favourite at Jacquemus and Valentino, whose oversized silhouettes gave this typically feminine colour a masculine twist. And last but not least is the puffa jacket, which received an elegant update with a new reference to duvet dressing. Padding, quilting, floral embroidery and organza layering came from the likes of Margiela, Dries Van Noten and Toteme."
The Spanish fashion designer Cristobal Balenciaga was born on January 21 in 1895. After studying dressmaking as a child, by age 20, Cristobal started his own brand and became Spanish’s leading couturier. In 1937, he moved to Paris due to the Spanish Civil War. Balenciaga’s designs are famous by its capes, flowing clothes without waistlines, as well as the use of plastic for rainwear. Cristobal died in 1972 in Valencia, Spain.
Arty as the names suggest, invokes the independent creativity of the person. These are usually the ones who want to make a statement of their own by the clothes they wear. Most of the times, they are the creators of their own fashion style. They do not follow the traditional norms and make the path for themselves. The unconventional for of art leads to innovating very many interesting forms of trends which are not restricted by the usual textbook nature of creating fashion.

These standout accessories were not yet trendy in the late Sixties, when he began to try and sell them to New York stores. Soon, word spread about Lauren’s somewhat dandyish personal style and his flashy neckwear; he used this success to find investors and then he branched out into men’s and ladies suits and casual wear. Eventually, his clothing lines were sold at high-end stores such as Saks Fifth Avenue, where they became extremely popular.
In the fashion industry, every fashion designer should follow fashion design development process to design a new dress. Fashion design mainly influenced by cultural and social attitudes, and it has varied over time, place and religion. Fashion designing knowledge is mainly comes from the theoretical background. Students are learned step by step fashion design development process from their institute. All of these information’s are very important for the beginner. When developing your designs for a new collection involves many components like inspiration, drawing, color, design functionality, technical package, garment patterns and so on.

Known as the prince of Prints, the fashion designer Emilio Pucci got known for his tight shantung “Pucci pants” and vividly printed silk dresses and blouses. His colorful, informal uniforms for Braniff flight attendants were groundbreaking. Later, Pucci branched into men’s fashions, perfume, and ceramics. He also served as a member of the Italian Parliament. His color trends and designs are one of KOKET’s most lovable inspirations.
When you hear ‘casual’, you probably think ‘frumpy’; and the casual fashion style could really be ANYTHING but frumpy! Women who indulge in the casual fashion style don’t grab the exotic and bold items off the shelves. They would much rather prefer a simple white tee and a pair of black pants with a coordinating and trendy purse. The entire look is very modern and uncluttered with an extra touch of subtle elegance.

Squash: A Decoy to Sidetrack Pests from MelonsBy Jan Suszkiw
December 16, 1996
Squash em!--but not literally. Thats the advice of scientists, who showed that squash plants will lure cucumber beetles and squash bugs away from more valuable crops like watermelon and cantaloupe.
The tactic, according to the scientists at the Agricultural Research Service, could be a new way to reduce insecticide sprays on commercial melon crops.
Since squash is the insects favorite cucurbit, they will feed on it first. In spring, growers typically spray plant seedlings with insecticide two to three times. But they could use less insecticide by planting one or two rows of squash as a trap crop around the fields perimeter.
In experimental watermelon and cantaloupe plots, the tactic lured up to 66 percent of a plots total population of the insects. The attraction was fatal for 90 percent of them, because the scientists sprayed insecticide only on the squash perimeter of a plot.
Commercial growers in Texas and Oklahoma are helping the scientists run large-scale field studies. In the Midwest, the approach could also help stop cucumber beetles from spreading a bacterial disease, cucurbit wilt, through the melon patch.

[tr-shareit]fun fact: White tea is the least processed and more expensive form of white, black and green tea. It has less caffeine than Green and Black Tea.[/tr-shareit]
Studies have suggested that drinking tea regularly boosts the body’s immune system and thereby reducing the risk of acquiring certain diseases. Among the different types of tea, white tea has the highest antioxidant content.
More than its refreshing taste and relaxing aroma, white tea comes with zero-calorie content. This is the reason why white tea also makes a good alternative for water in times when you want to add some flavor without adding more calories. White tea has higher quantity of catechins than any other tea, which brings us to our next point that white tea is good for weight loss. The catechin components of white tea stimulate the fat burning activity in the human body.
Simultaneously, catechins improve the good cholesterol level to ensure prevent blockage in blood flow. Aside from that, it also regulates blood pressure.
Many might be wondering how white is different from other kinds. White tea, like green, black, and Oolong teas, came from the Camilla Sinensis tea bush. The other three vary depending on the process it went through after the leaves were plucked. White tea, however, uses immature tea leaves that are picked just before the buds are completely open. The leaves are then steamed instead of being air-dried.
White tea, therefore, holds more polyphenols, an antioxidant that helps fight harmful free radicals, which may lead to cancer.
Similarly, the antioxidant found in white tea boosts one’s immune system to prevent foreign elements causing certain diseases. The vitamin C packed in white tea develops resistance against bacteria and virus.
Another antioxidant present in white tea is the L-theanine, which promotes relaxation and furthers concentration.
This tea also contains vitamin E, which is essential in formation of red blood cells and for proper utilization of vitamin K.
White tea, as other teas, is loaded with fluoride. Such mineral helps prevent cavities, while contributing to healthy and strong teeth and bones.
As compared to other kinds of teas, white tea has less caffeine. The amount of caffeine in white tea is just right to provide you energy and mental alertness, without the negative effect of caffeine that includes insomnia, anxiety and headache.
The Amazing Health Benefits of White Tea
Rich in Antioxidants
White tea is known to contain powerful antioxidants. These antioxidants remove toxins from the body. Antioxidants also maintain healthy cells as well as repair the damaged ones. The antioxidants that white tea has are rarely unique that they are not as powerful other tea’s content. These antioxidants remarkably avoid and eliminate development of free radicals. Free radicals primarily trigger cancer and other serious illnesses in the heart and other internal organs.
Reduces Risks of Cancer
Because of the high levels of antioxidants contained in white tea, it is proven to reduce chances of different types of cancer especially lung cancer. Risk of cancer is alleviated by stress in chronic oxidation and inflammation. With the high antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of white tea, its consumption supports in stopping risks of cancer. White tea is a chemo-preventive agent that is concentrated with anti-cancer properties. This basically means that drinking white tea prevents damage or death of healthy cells and stops cancer cell development.
Preserves Optimal Heart Condition
White tea is very popular because of its power to maintain desirable heart health. Reducing risks of heart ailments is really the forte of this healthy drink. White tea contains very strong and effective antioxidants that are very needed by the cardiovascular system. Its flavanoid content assures that blood circulation from and to the heart is regulated. This powerful property also relaxes the veins and blood vessels to promote smooth blood flow. Blood vessel blocking can lead to blood clots or worst stroke or heart attack. On top of that, white tea also helps in normalizing fats located in the blood. It decreases LDL cholesterol in the body that results to reduced fat storage.
Maintains Healthy and Youthful Skin
Because of its richness in antioxidants, skin cells are maintained healthy. If the skin cells are healthy and free from damage caused by free radicals, it tends to beautify the skin. Drinking white tea will help in protecting the skin from inner and outer damage. Its antioxidants prevent skin cell damage at the same time fights the harsh effects of UV rays and pollution. To keep your skin young looking and glowing, adding white tea to your diet will surely help.
Promotes Oral Health
It has been found that white tea has mouth bacteria killing properties to keep the oral condition healthy. Mouth infections, gum diseases, and tooth decays are primarily caused by bacteria in the mouth. Drinking white tea fights formation of plaque in the mouth to prevent cavities and tooth decays. This is due to the anti-bacterial properties specifically pathogens that are found in black tea that already have proven bacteria killing characteristics. This lessens possibilities of having oral problems and illnesses.
Supports Weight Loss
White tea has adipogenesis stopping properties that have shown very positive results in weight management. These properties that keep the body free from harmful toxins that slows down the body’s fat metabolism. It is helpful that metabolic rates are boosted to normalize the fat storage in the body. This is why many health experts would attest that at least a cup of white tea a day can prevent obesity. If you have too much food eaten, drinking white tea before ending your day can help in reducing the effects of your calorie intake.
Healthy for the Heart
White tea is one of the most common heart-healthy drinks. This is due to the fact that white tea is very abundant in powerful antioxidants that stabilize overall heart condition. It has flavanoids which are one of the most effective antioxidants that can optimize not only the function of the heart but also those of other body parts. Flavanoids prevents inflammation through avoiding buildup of platelet. This anti-oxidant also regulates blood pressure relaxing the veins and arteries to optimize the circulation of blood from and to the heart. It also strengthens the artery walls to reduce risks of blood clots, stroke, or worst heart attack.
White tea is good for diabetics and those who do not have it but bear high risks due to medical history. White tea has very low glycemic index. Glycemic index is the measure for the food’s effect on blood sugar levels. It also lessens insulin levels to assure the transport and conversion of glucose. This is a significant factor in preventing diabetes.
Reduces Chances of Cancer Development
Because of the high levels of antioxidants contained in white tea, it is proven to reduce chances of different types of cancer up to 50%. Risk of cancer is alleviated by stress in chronic oxidation and inflammation. Due to its high antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties regular consumption supports in stopping risks of cancer. Its antioxidant content, called flavanoid, is among the strongest types of antioxidants that stop free radical formation. Free radicals negatively affect the DNA of our cells causing it damage.

Composite oxides are widely used as catalysts in modern chemical industry because of their excellent oxidation/reduction properties, high mechanical strength and good thermal stability. Among them, perovskite compound oxide is particularly eye-catching. Since the 1950s, perovskite-type composite oxides have been used in catalytic combustion, photocatalysis, fuel cells and metals
Air cell, environmental catalysis, catalytic hydrogenation, catalytic cracking and so on have been widely used and studied. At present, there are many methods used to synthesize perovskite, such as coprecipitation method, sol-gel method, solid phase method, hydrothermal method and so on. However, the specific surface area of perovskite prepared by these methods is small, and the application prospect of perovskite composite oxide is limited due to its low specific surface area. The template method is used to prepare porous metal oxide materials. Perovskite composite oxide has excellent thermal stability, REDOX performance, oxygen mobility and electron ion conductivity due to its special composition and structure. In recent years, it has attracted extensive attention in the field of catalyst.
3. Composite transition metal oxides with perovskite structure have attracted wide attention in the field of catalytic combustion of vocs in recent years due to their low price, high catalytic activity and good thermal stability. However, the perovskite-type oxide catalysts prepared by traditional methods have small surface area, and their catalytic activity is greatly limited, which hinders their commercial application to a certain extent. Therefore, it is one of the research focuses of perovskite oxide catalysts to increase specific surface area and catalytic activity by appropriate preparation method.
The invention provides a preparation method and application of aluminum air electrode catalyst material lanthanum manganate with cubic particle accumulation structure. The cubic particle stacking structure of the invention has the advantages of simple preparation process, low price, high catalytic activity and good thermal stability.
The invention provides a preparation method for lanthanum manganate, including the following steps:
Step 1: Mix lanthanum nitrate and manganese nitrate evenly according to the molar ratio of 1:1, then add citric acid and dissolve in deionized water and anhydrous ethanol to prepare a solution;
Step 2. Add the activated carbon template to the solution of Step 1 to form a mixed solution;
Step 3. Ultrasound the mixed solution in Step 2 for 60min and then stand for 12h;
Step 4. Put the obtained polymer in the oven at 60℃ to dry for 12h;
Step 5. The sample obtained in Step 4 was calcined in Muffle furnace at 350℃ for 3h, and then calcined at 650 ~ 750℃ for 1 ~ 3h to remove the activated carbon template, and the cubic dense structure lanthanum manganate was obtained.
In the above preparation methods, the templates of lanthanum nitrate, manganese nitrate, citric acid, deionized water, ethanol and activated carbon are 5mmol, 5mmol, 10mmol, 5ml, 15ml and 0.1 ~ 0.3g, respectively.
12. In the above preparation methods, lanthanum nitrate and manganese nitrate in step 1 are la(no3)3·
6h2o and mn(no3)2.
The invention also provides the application of lanthanum manganate prepared by the above-mentioned preparation method. The cubic particle accumulation structure lanthanum manganate and acetylene black are mixed as the catalytic layer of air electrode according to the mass ratio of 6:4, and the working electrode with the length of 4cm and the width of 3cm is pressed. The aluminum plate is used as the negative electrode, and the electrolyte uses 6mol/l koh solution to form the aluminum air battery in the organic glass frame. The method of preparing cubic particle accumulation structure lanthanum manganate is simple, easy to operate and convenient for large-scale production. The produced cubic particle accumulation structure lanthanum manganate can expand the selection of aluminum air electrode catalyst and develop new metals.

14 Apr “RESCUE,” A NEW SONG FROM JORDAN ST. CYR, IS AVAILABLE NOW
14 April 2023 – NASHVILLE, TN / SEATTLE, WA – A new song is available now from multi-award-winning Canadian artist and songwriter Jordan St. Cyr. Titled “Rescue” (BEC Recordings), click HERE to listen to the powerful track.
St. Cyr, who penned the song with Jonathan Gamble and Justin Amundrud, shares, “‘Rescue’ was inspired by a two-week season where it felt like my family and I were being attacked on all sides. It started with the news of our youngest daughter potentially having eye surgery, our oldest daughter breaking her leg, myself losing a record deal, our youngest daughter battling seizures, our car breaking down twice, and all six of us getting food poisoning. Life felt impossible but the promise of Jesus held true. When things got chaotic our rescue was His peace. He is the calm in the storm and his faithfulness never left us. Not even once.”
“Oh I’ve been desperate,
cried those loud prayers
Like Job on his knees sayin’
Lord I need more than a little help
I’ve been surrounded,
felt fear on all sides
Like Daniel and the lions,
I know when I fight I don’t fight by myself
When I needed rescue
Jesus, You came through
Oh, in my hardest season, Your promise held true
Every time I’ve given in, Lord You prove it again
That You’re still my Savior now
Jesus, You came through when I needed rescue.”
– lyrics from “Rescue”
Along with releasing “Rescue,” just last month St. Cyr celebrated winning his first Juno Award for Best Contemporary Christian/ Gospel Album of the Year for his self-titled debut with BEC Recordings. The annual awards show that honors all genres of Canada’s top musicians, singers, songwriters, and producers, followed his six-win sweep at the 2022 GMA Canada Covenant Awards, where he was awarded the most out of any other nominee, including top Artist, Album, and Male Vocalist of the Year. He also won Best Pop Song (“Fires”), Live Music Artist, and AC Artist of the Year.
Jordan St. Cyr continues to perform around the U.S. on Colton Dixon’s Build A Boat Tour, which runs through mid-May. Be sure to visit his tour page for the latest tour dates.

If you are not an essential worker, you’ve likely spent the majority of the coronavirus pandemic quarantining inside your home, which should be a place of safety and comfort. However, the living virus could be hiding in your house. Sure, you wipe down your groceries and wash your hands, but infectious droplets could be clinging to furniture and features you hadn’t thought to disinfect. To help you keep your family safe, we asked experts how to clean the surprising spots where the coronavirus could be living in your home.
Around your windows
You might want to start paying closer attention to the cleanliness of not only your windows, but their nooks and crannies. Benjamin Ottis of Full Color Cleaners points out that “a lot of harmful allergens collect on and around the window areas,” though “most homeowners don’t really think about how clean their windows are.” The next time you’re dusting your windows to make them shine, you should also spray them with some disinfectant to make sure they’re coronavirus-free.
The bottoms of your shoes are inherently dirty, which is why so many people take their shoes off at the door. But your kicks could pose even more of a threat than you previously thought. Anthony Weinert, DPM head of Shoe Pantry, stresses the importance of either taking your shoes off outside of your door or disinfecting your shoes before heading into your home. You can wipe down the soles with a disinfecting wipe; also consider tossing any shoes that can be machine washed into your washer every once in a while.
You’re likely in an ongoing battle with the dust and dirt on your floor, but have you considered that there may be more serious enemies under your feet?
A recent study by The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) looked at the aerosol and surface distribution of the coronavirus in hospitals in Wuhan, China, finding that it was “widely distributed” on floors. It was even found on the floor of the pharmacy, despite the lack of patients in that space. Virus droplets fall downward, and staff likely tracked those droplets in on their shoes.
Rather than doing a quick sweep of your floor, use a disinfectant to make sure those pesky coronavirus droplets can’t survive in your home. Kevin Geick of Bio Recovery, a biohazard, crime scene, and disease cleanup company says, “If not properly handled, anything that touches the floor can be contaminated.”
After a long day, you just want to collapse in your bedroom. However, if you’re wearing the clothes you wore outside, you could be transferring germs and/or virus droplets to your comforter or sheets. “Even your pillow can become a coronavirus hotbed if you lay down before washing your hair and face,” says health and wellness expert Linda Morgan. At night when you lay your head down to rest, you’ll be breathing in all the droplets you dragged in on your clothing from outside. (The same is true of reclining on your couch or in a chair.) To keep yourself safe, it’s best to immediately remove and wash clothing you’ve worn outside and to regularly wash and change your bedding. Don’t leave out duvet covers or pillowcases, either.
Your air conditioner
Frighteningly, your air conditioner can circulate air that’s contaminated with coronavirus. In your own home, you shouldn’t be too concerned unless someone in the household is sick. But if you live in an apartment building that has a central system, you may want to avoid flipping it on unless you really need it. (Additionally, coronavirus droplets could be hiding out in your air conditioner’s filter, so cleaning it may actually make matters worse.)
Aviad Shneiderman, co-founder and CEO of Aura Air, suggests introducing fresh air into your home to avoid relying on your central air unit. But, he warns, “It’s important to be mindful of what’s outside your window. If you live near a busy street, you will want to avoid opening your windows during rush hour. Try instead to get fresh air early in the morning and in the evenings.”6
When you clean a couch or chair, most of your energy is probably focused on crumbs and stains on the cushions. However, when cleaning with coronavirus in mind, you might want to pay closer attention to the armrests. Per The New York Times, the virus can survive longer on smooth surfaces than it can on fabric, but it can still be viable on your upholstered furniture for a few hours. Say a contaminated person coughs or sneezes into their hands and then touches the armrest—that could potentially lead to the next person who sits in that spot becoming infected. Use a United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)-approved disinfectant that works on fabrics to keep your seating from posing a threat.7
A study published by The New England Journal of Medicine in April found that the coronavirus could survive on metal surfaces for up to three days, which includes the utensils in your kitchen. “If you do not carefully wash your hands before putting clean dishes away, you risk transferring germs to them,” says Morgan. So be sure to scrub your hands often, even if you think they’re pretty clean.

VAL GARDENA, Italy (AP) — Aksel Lund Svindal led the way again as Norway and the United States claimed the top four spots in the final training session on Thursday for the classic World Cup downhill on the Saslong course.
Svindal enjoyed a 0.24 seconds advantage over Norwegian teammate Kjetil Jansrud.
Aiming to tie the record with his fourth win in this race, Steven Nyman stood third, with fellow American Travis Ganong fourth.
Wiley Maple, another American, clocked the fifth fastest time but he missed a gate.
Svindal, the two-time overall World Cup champion, has won three super-Gs on the Saslong but never the downhill. He also led the opening training session on Wednesday.
A super-G is scheduled for Friday followed by the downhill on Saturday.

Conan O'Brien is also aware that President-elect Donald Trump has a Twitter account, and on Tuesday's Conan he asked guest Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) for his reaction to Trump's latest "conspiracy tweets," about how millions of illegal voters robbed him of a popular-vote victory and his assertion that people who burn the American flag should face prison or a revocation of citizenship.
Sanders tackled them one at a time, starting with the tweet about illegal voters. "First of all, it's delusional, it's totally insane," he said. "Nobody believes that who studies elections or election patterns." But there's also a "scary" message, Sanders said: "When he says that, he's really sending a signal to Republicans all over this country, Republican leaders, and what he's saying is: 'We have got to suppress the vote, we have got to make it harder for poor people, people of color, immigrants, elderly people, to participate because they may be voting against us. And that's scary stuff."
On flag-burning, Sanders rolled his eyes, listing the real problems the country faces — "massive income and wealth inequality," poverty, climate change — and noting that Trump "is talking about three people who might burn the American flag." But there's a "hidden message" here, too, Sanders said, "and that is: Be careful if you are prepared to dissent." The Supreme Court has already ruled flag-burning constitutionally protected free expression, "but what he is really saying is, 'If you really want to dissent, be careful. It's not just the American flag here, we're watching you.' That's what's scary about that." (It could also just be that Trump was think-tweeting while watching Fox News at the wrong moment.)

The January 20 edition of the New Yorker was in honor of Martin Luther King Day. The cover shows children painting a mural of Martin Luther King Jr. and the message portrayed was that these are the new generation carrying out the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr, and they also remember him in this way. This sets the tone for the rest of the magazine, which talks a lot about activism and social justice issues.
The format of the magazine is 8″x 11″ which are the standard magazine dimensions. In addition, the publication is weekly and has approximately 70 pages per issue.
As for the layout of the magazine overall, the New Yorker is consistent in being wordy with not too many photos or graphics. When reading the publication, all the words crunched together that tightly can be hard to read at times, or overwhelming to the eyes, but they keep that style consistent throughout the magazine. They use this format probably because they want to fit as much writing as they can into the space provided, using horizontal lines and small graphics to separate stories, which helps the eyes break up the page.
For example, on page 24, the New Yorker uses a cartoon that doesn’t relate to the story on the page, but breaks up the text as the only image on the page, utilizing approximately one-third of the spread.
At the start of paragraphs that break the stories up like chapters of a book, there are drop caps, which symbolize a turn in the story or a jump to a new topics within the article. This makes it easy for the reader to differentiate when there’s a change in the story and makes it less confusing to read.
Each page is split into a grid of three columns with small margins, which is probably to best utilize the page space they have. At the beginning of profile stories, the New Yorker uses a half or whole spread with an illustration that typically has a lot of color, at least in this issue, and creates contrast with the black and white text heavy pages.
For the New Yorker, the tight, text-heavy pages work with their brand and they are consistent with their use of illustrations instead of photographs, but perhaps utilizing more white space instead of filling their pages to the brim could appeal to more readers.
