By CORY CARRSince the birth of Slaughter Film, we have offered the option to filmmakers to get in contact with us so that we could watch and review their work. Watching films as, or before they come out, sharing our thought and promoting some of the coolest independent films around seemed like a great idea, a no-brainer. But to be honest, this also made me feel a little uneasy. Questions came to mind like, "What if no one asks us to review anything?" or "What if we are only asked to review crap?". The later was a big worry of mine. Some poor bastard pours his heart and soul into a film and I, staying true to my convictions, have to shit all over it! What then, huh?! Well I'll tell ya. Word gets out of how ruthless I and my reviews are and before you know it, the only people who visit Slaughter Film are snarky hipsters and trolling teenagers, come to see how badly I ripped "a new one" in some simple film student.
The stress of it all would build, and drive me to drink. Then one day, years later, a rather questionable looking trollop is desperately trying to rub away coke from under her nose as she dials 911 to report the death of the man who she woke up next to. That man would be me, dead, bloated and penniless.
Fortunately for me, we were contacted by the fine people at Slasher Studios to take a look at their 2011 slasher-short, Teddy. A film that I happened to enjoy quite a bit. So I'm sure you can understand how relieved I was at the realization that I won't be dying on a piss stained hotel mattress any time soon.
Teddy is about a young man who witnesses the hit-n-run death of his father at the hands of a group of college students on their way through the Wisconsin country side to spend a weekend camping.
With the college friends conveniently isolated in the middle of nowhere, Teddy, the son who's psyche has just been scared from watching the vehicular manslaughter of his father, with a hatchet in one hand and his teddy bear in the other, he now stalks the woods hungry for revenge.
With a simple but solid story, containing believable acting and effects, clever camera work and all the classic slasher cliches that we've come to know and love, and I do mean that. Cliches in a slasher movie aren't something that make slasher fan's eyes roll, they are something that are looked forward to. Well, if they're done the right way that is and Steve Goltz and Kevin Sommerfield [creators of Teddy] know how to do them the right way. These two have been fans of the genre for a very long time and have come to not only know the genre, but understand how a slasher should be made.
From the deranged killer out for revenge, to the drunken & over sexed teens [with the exception of the final girl] in an isolated environment, Teddy is a fun throwback to the slasher films of yesteryear. I can't help but think that the slasher genre lends itself quite well to the creation of a short film such as Teddy, making it a simpler film. Combined that with good film making, and the result is an award winning horror short.
It was while I watched Teddy, that I decided that I didn't want to just review it, I wanted to talk about Teddy with it's creators.
I know that you work under the title Slasher Studios, and that you review them for your website, but what is it about the horror genre, slashers in particular, that had driven you to want to make horror films yourself?
Steve Goltz: To me, slashers are just plain fun! I have a great time with them whether they have a big budget or not. To be honest, the lower budget slashers are generally constructed a little better and they seem to have a little more heart in them. Horror films also have such a great fan base and that in something amazing to be a part of.Were there any films of the genre in particular that help inspire you to make Teddy?
Kevin Sommerfield: Slashers are the ultimate comfort food. Get a group of people together in one place, have a maniac on the loose, and let the creative deaths begin. I feel as though slashers are the last genre/subgenre of film that still uses practical effects. It’s a dying art but even a poorly constructed practical effect is more fun to watch than CGI. There is nothing quite like the thrill of watching a really good death scene in a really good slasher.
Steve Goltz: Friday the 13th for sure. I definitely wanted to pay tribute to the great slashers of the 80's and the Friday the 13th series was on top of my list. It was important to create a unique villain that was reminiscent of the greats, but also bring something new and fresh to the table. Also, the outdoors/camping aspect was a must for me. Those are the settings in films that I can connect with the most and I'm sure others, especially here in the midwest, can as well.Coming from someone who has seen a ton of indie horror shorts and will continue to watch them, the camera work in Teddy was pretty impressive. Have you had any training in film [film school/classes], or have you just picked up a few things from watching movies?
Kevin Sommerfield: Growing up, I loved slasher movies more than just about anything else in the world. I remember staying up late watching Monstervision and USA’s Up All Night and praying they would show a slasher flick. My favorite of those slasher flicks were always the “teens in a woods, killed by a maniac variety” like The Burning, Sleepaway Camp, and Friday the 13th. Camping is something that we have all done at sometime in our lives and being able to feed those feeds (out in the woods, alone, no one to protect you, etc) was the basis for Teddy. Also, who doesn’t love a revenge themed slasher?
Steve Goltz: I was lucky enough to have the best of both worlds. Of course after watching a ton of films, there are different techniques that you can pick up on and want to experiment with. So, with addition to learning from some amazing films, I also graduated from Arizona State University with a degree in Film Production. Oddly enough, Teddy was FIRST film ever banned from the yearly screening showcase. That was actually a real testament to the level of horror film making that went into making this short.Is Teddy a one-and-done, or if given the opportunity would you make a sequel?
Kevin Sommerfield: Oh god, the banning. Let’s just saying that there is a particular death in Teddy involving me and a tiki torch that the Arizona school board wasn’t so happy with. All in all, I think Teddy is fairly tame as a slasher. It’s not like the torture films from a few years back. Though I received my degree from University of Wisconsin – Oshkosh in Radio, TV, Film, Teddy was my first horror movie. Didn’t get a chance to do much with my degree while I was in school. Now it is all that I do. Funny how those things work.
Steve Goltz: When we here at Slasher Studios first set out to make Teddy, we were just focused on making the film and had no intentions at all in a sequel. But, no as the fan base has rapidly grown and the official selections keep building, a sequel is definitely a possibility. One aspect of 80's slashers that I love so much is the multiple sequels. Turning Teddy into a franchise would be a dream come true.That's true. A franchise of three or four, or even eight films is just another time honored cliche of the slasher genre, and besides, every great killer deserves a sequel. What about a feature length Teddy movie?
Steve Goltz: The feature length Teddy movie is something that Kevin and I have spoke about on many occasions and is something we would be love to pursue. So many times at festivals, audience members would come up to us and ask us the same question. Many even demand that a feature is to be made. It would be very interesting to write a solid script for a feature and see how we want to explore into the mind of Teddy.As a young film maker who doesn't have a major studio behind you, do you have any advice that you could pass on to other film upstarts about raising money, or securing a location/talent?
Kevin Sommerfield: My biggest fear in making a Teddy feature or a sequel to Teddy would be disappointing the fans of our original short film. Teddy is a movie I'm really proud of and to continue working with it (either in a sequel or a feature), it would be have to be the right script at the right time. We wouldn't want to just do it because we can. Still, if we were to crack the perfect script, we would do it in a heartbeat.
Steve Goltz: The biggest advice to to never give up. It may sound cheesy, but it's true. The filmmaking process can be long and grueling and one may want to give up after a while. The important thing is that the finished product is so rewarding that it greatly outweighs any stress that comes before hand.Where the hell did you find Surge? That stuff hasn't been around in forever, and as a kid that's all I drank and I'm pretty sure it was responsible for a series of night terrors that I never want to forget.
As for raising money, there is a great site online called Kickstarter. This site allows filmmakers a way to get there film-to-be in the public eye and obtain a decent budget. When it comes to securing locations and talent, be very careful who you deal and work with. Make sure they are trustworthy, dependable and as excited about the project as you are.
Kevin Sommerfield: Promote, promote, promote. That’s really my biggest advice. I would rather have people get sick of hearing of my films than to not have them know they existed at all. Get your name out there, use as many social media sites as possible (Tumblr, twitter, facebook, etc) and don’t give up. It’s not as easy business to break into but as long as you learn something from every stumble you may face, you will succeed. Just have faith in yourself.
Steve Goltz: Yes, Surge was great! I actually found the can on eBay. As you may recall from the beginning of the film, this story takes place in 1996, so including the surge can and many other little mid 90's props was a great way to really give the audience a sense of time and place, as well as allow them to reminisce about that time. I have to say, searching for unique props and costumes from that time period was by far the most fun I have had in preproduction on any film.Are there any trends in the genre that you are either dreading, or looking forward to seeing more of?
Kevin Sommerfield: When I arrived on set and saw that Steve purchased a Surge can from eBay, I couldn’t help but laugh. We had a series of Goosebumps books too that sadly didn’t make it into the final cut. We just tried to include as many 90’s artifacts (like the walkman) to keep things fun for the audience.
Steve Goltz: Well, I hate CGI. In my opinion, seeing poor CGI, especially when it is supposed to look good, takes me out of the movie and all connections with the characters are lost. I have been fortunate enough to use practical effects with all the bloody death that have been in the Slasher Studios shorts. There is something extremely gratifying when working with practical effects. Most of the time we only have one chance to get the shot, so if something goes wrong, then the shot is destroyed and a quick rewrite may not be far behind. It may sound weird, but I actually get some strange kind of high when the effects goes perfect. On Blood Brothers, we had some practical blood effects and there was zero room for error. Luckily I had done my homework and with a little help from the slasher gods, the effects were stunning!In your opinion, what is one of the most under rated slasher flick?
Kevin Sommerfield: For me it is all about found footage and I hate it. While I do believe a great found food horror movie can be made (Blair Witch Project, [REC], etc), it has more often than not become an excuse for lazy filmmaking. It can be done on the cheap and in any many cases they rely on the "ran out of footage" ending. Many of these films show a profit opening weekend though so it's no surprise they keep making them. I want to see the slasher film make a comeback much as Scream brought back the subgenre in the mid 90's.
Steve Goltz: I may get a little flack for this, but I feel the Rob Zombie's Halloween's are very well made. The production value of the two films and amazing and one has to love the return of Danielle Harris to the series. I have no problem with fans loving the original. I, for one, am a sucker for any original. But, I also feel that Zombie was able to put his own style into the classic film and hopefully bring a new audience into the slasher genre.Not only do the guys at Slasher Studios make horror movies, but they review them as well. Check out their webcast as well as their written reviews over at slasherstudios.com.
Kevin Sommerfield: While I agree Rob Zombie's Halloween is very underrated, my pick is 1974's Black Christmas. Black Christmas is quite simply the best slasher film I’ve ever seen. Some give the credit to Halloween being the first real slasher film but that simply is not fair. Black Christmas did it first and did it better. It is the grandmother of the slasher film, four years before Halloween. The power in Black Christmas is impossible to deny. The characters are compelling, the imagery poignant, and the acting top-notch. It's a shame that most people outside of the horror community know nothing about this film.
One last thing, Teddy is available for purchase at their website [above link], along with other Slasher Studios flicks. I know I'm going to pick up a copy of Teddy in the future, so make sure to check it out for yourself.

Portsmouth city councilors continued to discuss plans for expanding and moving the stage for the Prescott Park Arts Festival at a workshop meeting on Monday, Aug. 17. At the meeting, mayor Robert Lister’s working group on the park, made up of city councilors Stefany Shaheen and Chris Dwyer, trustee of the trust fund member Tom Watson, and Lister, presented an update on plans for renovating and expanding the arts festival’s stage and rotating it about 34 degrees toward the Memorial Bridge.
Rotating the stage “primarily projects sound away from the city and more to the bridge” and “gives more land back to the people and makes it safer and quieter,” said Tracy Kozak, of JSA Architects.
Councilors Esther Kennedy and Zelita Morgan said they were concerned about the plan. Kennedy said plans for the stage don’t address “the issue at hand, and the issue at hand is the sound, the traffic, and the number of people” attending shows in the park.
“There is a much cheaper solution, which is to turn the volume down,” Morgan said, adding that she thinks the arts festival should look at moving shows likely to draw large crowds to other venues.
Dan Plummer, who was representing the arts festival at the meeting, said the festival needs “some kind of agreement (from the city) before we can raise funds” for the new stage.
A final plan remains in the offing; the council must reach a consensus on the plan before it can be sent to the city’s land use boards, which will then work on finalizing the details. — LC

Since the middle of last year, Ana Elizabeth García Vilchis has presented the “Who’s Who in Lies of the Week” segment during President López Obrador’s Wednesday morning press conference.
Azucena Uresti, a television and radio presenter accused by García of spreading false news, published a letter to the government spokeswoman on the Opinión 51 website on Tuesday.
” I do not know you. I heard about you in June last year when the terrible section you lead every Wednesday was created,” the letter begins.
“…I just know that you are 32 years old, that you were the web coordinator of a news site and that you studied social anthropology at the Autonomous University of Puebla,” Uresti wrote.
“…Why am I writing these lines to you? First because of my unsuccessful attempts to arrange a journalistic interview with you; secondly because you referred me with lies from the National Palace; and third and foremost because I believe – and hope I am wrong – that you are destroying your future,” she wrote.
Uresti told García that she was not writing to defend herself but to offer advice as if she were his friend, sister, or mother.
“… Every week that I see you standing there in front of everyone at the National Palace, reading a script that is not yours, I feel sad,” she wrote.
“…You also don’t own the script because you stutter, exaggerate, sweat [and] your voice is shaking. And that tells me that deep down you don’t feel comfortable with what you’re doing. Those who promised you that you would be the defender of the truth lied to you; those who promised to catapult your political career… lied to you,” Uresti said.
She acknowledged that journalism has its flaws, but argued that all journalism “must be free and calling critical journalists traitors or putschists is an attack on that freedom.”
“…You are too young to mark your professional future like this and be the target of such brutal violence every week while the men who write what you read hide behind the president,” Uresti wrote, apparently referring to online abuse.
“You have time to change course, to fight your own battles and not become a single-use cartridge, to remember that their opponents are not necessarily yours,” she said.
“Say what you believe and have sought, defend the government in which you have placed your trust but do not allow yourself to be an instrument of politics or revenge. Be free and let your choice determine your path. With female solidarity, Azucena Uresti.
A day after the letter was published, García took aim at the journalist during her weekly appearance at the National Palace, claiming that she had made a false statement about the governor of Veracruz on Twitter.
She concluded her remarks with a “reflection” on the segment she has been presenting for six months.
“This section was created to provide a service to the public, to bring to light and refute fake news that implicates the federal government. Neither media nor journalists are stigmatized here, we only cite lies and expose the replicators of lies. If media and journalists’ names appear, it is for didactic purposes, it is not something personal,” García said.
“There is a clear disinformation campaign to undermine the plans and work that this government is carrying out. … But even if they defend hidden economic or political interests or are simply in bad faith, time will put everyone in their place.

According to NAN, the Godfrey Nwambeke-led caretaker committee stated that EBSU’s ASUU would not join in.
In contrast, another faction led by Ikechukwu Igwenyi, acting chairman of the ASUU branch, stated that it would.
ASUU’s national body, on February 14, declared a one-month warning strike over FG’s failure to meet demands.
Nwambeke, who spoke to journalists on Friday, advised lecturers and students to disregard ASUU’s warning strike.
“One of the major reasons for the non-compliance is that the ASUU national executive committee (NEC) has been indifferent to issues concerning the union at EBSU, which they ought to have resolved since,” Nwambeke said.
“You may recall that ASUU-EBSU in its congress of September 16, 2021, suspended its former Acting Chairman, Igwenyi, from office for acts inconsistent with the union’s constitution, financial impropriety, amongst others.
“The suspended chairman flagrantly refused to meet the resolutions of the congress for him to transmit various financial activities to the congress.
“A congress of the union then sacked the executive and set up a caretaker committee to drive its affairs and conduct fresh elections.”
Nwambeke said the NEC was notified about the crisis in EBSU’s branch of the union but it abandoned it to its fate.
“We, therefore, urge members of ASUU-EBSU to shun any strike declaration by Igwenyi as any staff who obeys such a directive does so at his or her peril,” the EBSU-ASUU executive added.
In reaction, Igwenyi issued a statement to journalists, contrarily stating that ASUU-EBSU would join the strike intended to rescue education in Nigeria from total collapse.
“ASUU-EBSU rose from its emergency congress on Feb. 17 with an overwhelming resolution to activate the nation-wide one-month strike declared by ASUU,” he said, contradicting Nwambeke.
Igwenyi described ASUU as a union established to fight for the welfare of staff and the development of institutions.
He maintained that the ASUU-NEC issued the strike because the federal government failed to fully implement the MOA it signed with the union in December 2020.
The acting chairman stated that there shall be no academic activities in the institution, including teaching, seminars, statutory meetings of the senate, council, convocation, or matriculation.
According to him, academic activities would resume whenever the strike was suspended by ASUU-NEC.

There is a registration process that you must follow when breeding.
All female breeding greyhounds in Victoria are required to be Registered for Breeding prior to being served under GAR 127(6).
GAR 127 (6): A bitch shall not be used for breeding purposes unless registered as a ‘breeding female’.
To be eligible for registration as a Breeding Female, your greyhound must:
- Be Named;
- Be Micro-chipped;
- Have DNA results
- Have a C5 Vaccination administered within the last 12 months and a copy of the vaccination certificate submitted to GRV (clearly identifying greyhound and showing date administered);
- Be less than 8 years of age;
- Have not had more than 3 litters;
- Have not had 2 or more litters within the past 18 months; and
- Have its Breeder registered with GRV.
If any of the above criteria expires the status of the Breeding female will become inactive. The status will return to active once relevant criteria is met i.e. Updated vaccination record supplied or exemption obtained.
If you intend to register your female for breeding, GRV recommends applying for your DNA kit as early as possible to allow sufficient time for your DNA results to be returned to Greyhounds Australasia (GA) and recorded by before your greyhound is in season. For more information contact GA on 03 9548 3500.
REGISTER FOR BREEDING VIA FASTTRACK:
Go to: https://fasttrack.grv.org.au/
Login -> My Dogs -> Actions (for the greyhound) -> Register for Breeding
Alternatively, contact the GRV Racing Services team on 03 8329 1100.
The fee to register a female for breeding is $150.00. This fee is paid only for females who have not already whelped a litter. [Note: this fee is currently being waived for all GRV Registered Persons]
Detail regarding applications for exemption from the age restriction and the three litter maximum restriction are available here or contact Greyhound Welfare and Re-homing on 038329 1100.
STUD MASTERS AND FSI TECHNICIANS INFORMATION
As a Stud master or FSI approved technician it is crucial that you determine a female is actively registered for breeding prior to conducting a service of any kind. It is your responsibility to ensure the female has an ACTIVE breeding registration by searching her name on FastTrack.
This FastTrack breeding status and icon allows you to proceed with your planned service.
These FastTrack breeding status and icons prohibit you from proceeding with your planned service.
GRV’s Racing Services team can help you in confirming registration details – [email protected] or telephone 03 8329 1100.
Once the result of mating has been lodged with Greyhound Racing Victoria, it is the breeders responsibility to ensure the pups are micro-chipped and ear-branded. GRV will notify you of the Ear-brander that has been assigned to your pups. You will have to contact the Ear-brander and arrange a time for them to come and mark the pups.
Under the Code of Practice for the Keeping of Racing Greyhounds, a female greyhound must have a general health check by a veterinary practitioner 6-8 weeks after whelping. GRV have created a template Post-Whelping Veterinary Certificate to support Breeders in ensuring they meet the requirements of the Code of Practice. Ask your vet to complete the certificate when they examine your female and ensure you keep a copy as part of your Greyhound Record.

Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) has been successfully applied to ocean exploration, but the changes in marine environmental factors could have an important impact on the LIBS signals. The aim of the research is to investigate the ambient water temperature effects on laser-induced plasma in bulk water. Both the spectroscopic and fast imaging techniques are used to observe the plasma emission with the temperatures in the range of 5–60°C. It is shown that as the ambient temperature increases, an obviously increasing trend of emission intensity is observed, both for the atomic and ionic lines of Ca. Higher plasma temperature and electron density can be obtained at higher ambient temperature. The image results demonstrate that hotter and larger plasmas can be produced in water with the increase of ambient temperature. In addition, it is found that the changes of plasma emission and morphologies could be related to the changes of physical property parameters of water such as thermal expansivity and viscosity with ambient temperature. The results suggest that the ambient temperature has great influences on laser-induced plasma, which needs to be taken into account in underwater LIBS measurement, especially on-site marine applications.

RICHLAND, Wash. - One of the biggest shopping days of the year is still a busy one. Many hard core buyers started waiting in line last night and most big stores and malls were packed throughout the day.
The door buster deals went to those who were willing to wait in line while nocturnal shoppers were looking for other items.
"Movies, apple products, cameras, anything," said shopper Holly Door.
Shoppers also must fight to find a parking spot.
"Part of the Black Friday tradition is of course finding a parking spot. Its not easy and waiting in a long line to get out of the parking lot,"

There’s something startling about just how inventive cinema was in the early days of its creation. Whereas other artistic mediums have taken hundreds of years to bear fruit, film seemed to have caught on to what it was about mere years after its very conception. Ranging from 1901 to 1908, the films in the BFI Fairy Tales release show a frank endorsement of both storytelling and visual innovation instead of just being the usual curio from afar of time.
Ranging from old fairy stories to visual feasts of colour and magic, this collection is proof of just how creative the early filmmakers were. A number of directors are featured as well as some films whose origins are unknown but the sheer amount of great short filmmaking will mean concentrating the releases high points is essential. The films of Ferdinand Zecca open the release and range from short curios to mini fantasy epics. Les Sept Chateaux du Diable (1901) is a prototype fantasy horror, mixing Faust like narratives to moral exploration in examining the seven deadly sins in the form of seven castles.
The film is visually stunning, especially considering that the camera doesn’t move at all. This can be said for the majority of the films and directors have instead found new movements and texture in moving normally static objects i.e. the sets. Zecca’s film presents this best and the scene at sea, with its various moving waves and different boats is utterly astonishing. Zecca’s other epic Ali Baba et Les Quarante Voleurs (1902) is just as visually exciting though goes off into experimental absurdism towards the end in a cacophony of colour.
Gaston Velle’s shorts are next and are also one of the releases highlights. The quaint magic of Japonaireries (1904) and the weird creatures of La Danse du Diable (1904) are highly entertaining while his longer film The Hen That Laid the Golden Egg (1905) is a lavish four part narrative filled with magic and mischief. These opening films set the tone of the release which is full to the brim with this sort of visual magic; accidental, almost serendipic innovation in a desire to achieve something that was simply fun and entertaining.
This brings us on to another aspect of the release that needs to be discussed; the music. The music to all of the films is new and especially commissioned for artists on the Touch label. This label is one of the most experimental and avant garde in the world and the decision to use them produces results of varying quality. Albert Capellani’s films suffer greatly from music that is more concerned with experimenting itself than having a real relationship with the films. The same can be said for Zecca’s two epics which are left struggling with their score.
These films were designed for to be as accessible and as entertaining as possible in their day. It seems that their role as curios only for the died hard cineastes has meant that musically they are to be associated with most musique concrète of composers and this is a shame. The pieces are crying out for traditional piano work, fun and modest like the release of R.W Paul’s shorts. What at first seems a good idea makes these small entertainments unnecessarily challenging.
Méliès Barbe-blue (1901) may lack the director’s famous attention to detail but the short is made nigh on unwatchable because of its horrendous score by SAVX that sounds not unlike a kettle releasing a thin jet of steam. For all of the music’s short comings though, the films are absolutely brilliant.
The release is packed full of excellent fun shorts; all with colour, flair, imagination and entertainment at their heart. In these early films can be found the initial innovation that has kept the medium striving to the very point we’re at today. Perhaps though, choosing your own music for the soundtrack may do the films more justice.

Conceived and curated by Marco Delogu, the editorial project ‘Le Piazze [in]visibili’ (The invisible squares) proposes an evocative journey into the beauty of Italian squares, prompting reflections on a historical moment of ‘suspension’ and on all the identity values that, throughout our history, have developed around the idea of the ‘piazza’.
Created between March and April 2020, the story of Italian squares is told through images by Olivo Barbieri, Jacopo Benassi, Luca Campigotto, Michele Cera, Giovanni Cocco, Alessandro Dandini, Eva Frapiccini, Claudia Gori, Alice Grassi, Stefano Graziani, Raffaela Mariniello, Daniele Molajoli, Luca Our, Margherita Nuti, Francesca Pompei, Flavio Scollo, Luca Spano, George Tatge and Paolo Ventura; and the written words of Edoardo Albinati, Carlo Carabba, Francesco Cataluccio, Liliana Cavani, Benedetta Cibrario, Marcello Fois, Giovanni Grasso, Helena Janeczek, Nicola Lagioia, Jhumpa Lahiri, Margherita Loy, Maurizio Maggiani, Valerio Magrelli, Salvatore Silvano Nigro, Clio Pizzingrilli, Elisabetta Rasy, Eduardo Savarese, Caterina Serra, Giorgio van Straten, Sandro Veronesi and Francesco Zanot.
The journey is enriched in time and space by the critical texts by the curator Marco Delogu, architecture historian and author of ‘L’idea di città‘ Joseph Rykwert and director of the cultural and exhibition venue Scuderie del Quirinale, Matteo Lafranconi, who reminds us of Piazza Scossacavalli in Rome, where Raphael lived, which is now invisible.
“Every time you enter a square, you find yourself in the midst of a dialogue”, wrote Italo Calvino in ‘The Invisible Cities’, the book from which the title of this project is derived. A dialogue between image and word, between established and emerging authors, between lesser known squares and iconic locations known the world over, between rediscovered architecture and a new sociality to be rethought.
After an international première launched on 2 June on the occasion of Republic Day, the full exhibition of Le Piazze [in]visibili is made available on a special website www.piazzeinvisibili.com, where the ebook is also available for free download with texts in extended version.
The editorial project is presented in a touring exhibition abroad in 2020/2023.

Wake Up and Smell the Coffee Beans
Many college students develop a love for coffee during early morning classes and late nights at the library. French and Philosophy double major Hope Celmer ’18 turned her love for coffee and coffeehouses into something so much more. She opened her own café, The French Press, in Plymouth, Indiana.
Hope and her husband, Corey, have worked in restaurants and knew they wanted to open their own one day. When the space for a new café in Plymouth presented itself, they decided to go all-in and pursue their dreams of being restaurant owners. “It was as terrifying as it was exciting,” Hope says.
As a double major student, coffee shop owner, and wife, Hope has become very good at time management. Prior to opening The French Press, she had worked full-time while balancing school, so making and sticking to a schedule is nothing new to her. Corey manages the café while Hope is able to arrange her work around her class schedule each semester, that way they each find time to devote to The French Press.
Upon transferring to Saint Mary’s, Hope left the job she had and started working at a restaurant in Mishawaka. This gave her the opportunity to expand her knowledge about the restaurant business, which gave her more confidence when opening her coffee shop. Hope embraced what she learned from her French and philosophy classes at Saint Mary’s to create an authentic French café feeling, complete with music and decorations. Embracing those classes meant she has spent enough time in coffeehouses and knows what makes a coffeehouse or café great. Corey went to school for entrepreneurship, so starting a French-themed business was not foreign to either of them. After doing research on everything from how to put together a business plan to what kind of espresso is best, they were ready to open.
Hope and Corey are still figuring out what their next move will be after she graduates. She is applying to graduate programs so right now they are going with the flow to see what happens next.
The French Press is more than just coffee and French decorations though; they serve freshly baked bread, desserts, soup, and salad. Waking up and smelling the coffee beans has gone from a normal everyday activity to the coffeehouse of their dreams.

How does it work?
It increases blood flow to the affected area providing oxygen and nutrients to aid the healing process and restore movements
When cold is applied it causes blood vessel to constrict, this can help minimise damage and thereby reduce amount of repair required.
How do I apply?
It should be applied to the affected area where the pain is felt. it can be used before exercise as a part of warm up where previous injury has occured
It should be applied to the affected area as soon as possible after injury when pain is felt. treatment should be continued until all swelling has subsided (can take up to 72hrs)
When should I use?
- Stiff aching Muscles.
- Muscular Back Pain
- before exercise (for muscular aches and pain)
- Sprain, strain after injury
- sharp shooting muscle pain
It is believed - that in acute cases i.e 72 hrs - 100 hrs after injury - ice / cold should be applied,
cold patches, cool pack, ice bag, frozen ice can be used intermittently on the skin surface.
continuous usage of ice in any form can lead to cold injuries, so avoid keeping ice for duration for more than 10 min (take break for 45 sec between)
HEAT is more effective if applied in chronic cases, or long standing pain - like osteoarthritis, frozen shoulder etc.
Heat treatment is usually being performed by skilled physical therapist in form of hydro heat form, hot water fomentation, infrared light, UV light etc.

Narendra Modi will soon become former Prime Minister. The country will have a non-BJP and non-Congress Prime Ministrer after the 2019 Parliament Elections.
This was the campaign theme of Asaduddin Owaisi, president All Indian Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen in Hyderabad.
Asad is contesting from Hyderabad Lok Sabha constituency and is poised to create a record of sorts in Telangana by winning the seat for the fourth consecutive time.
“Narendra Modi will be former Prime Minister of the country very soon. The nation is also going to have a new Prime Minister, who is not from either BJP or Congress,” Asad told Deccan Herald.
According to the AIMIM supremo, the Modi magic was fading.”
“When he (Modi) came here for 2014 elections as Prime Ministerial candidadate, there were huge crowds that were spontaneous. Recently when he toured Telangana to campaign for BJP candidates, the state BJP found it hard to mobilize people to his public meeting,” he said.
Recalling how miserably the BJP lost in Telangana in recent Assembly elections, the MIM MP said there was no Modi wave in the country this time round.
As for the next PM of the country, he said Telangana chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao (KCR) was best suited for the job.
Talking about KCR’s qualifications to become PM of India, the MIM leader said KCR had bigger heart than that of Modi and he was more Hindu than Modi.
“There is “zameen Aasman ka farq” when it comes to Modi’s Hindutva idelogy and KCR’s. Modi’s Hindutva destroys India’s secular fabric . I urge evey Telangana voter to vote for KCR so that the state have a bigger stake at the centre after the elections,” Asaduddin said.

Americans are gearing to vote in the U.S presidential election after only a few days to determine who will be their next president in what may be the most significant elections in the modern era.
The US presidential election seems to be a difficult process for many, as the nominee who receives the most votes nationwide may not be the winner of the presidency.
What many do not comprehend is that the President and Vice President of the United States are not directly elected by the people. Rather, they are chosen by so-called “Electors” through a process called “Electoral College”.
The president of the United States of America has a great influence on how the world reacts to international crises, such as wars, global epidemics and climate change.
So when elections are held there every four years, we see a lot of global interest in the result, but many find it difficult how the relatively complex electoral process proceeds.
What are the main parties?
Unlike several other countries, in the US, there are exclusively two parties considered by most voters – the Democrats (the liberal, left-of-centre party) and the Republicans (the conservative, right-of-centre party).
Other “third-party” competitors sometimes engage , with the Libertarian, Green and Independent parties occasionally putting forth a nominee.
How is voting done and who are eligible to participate?
To vote in presidential election one must be 18 years old, a United States citizen and not a convicted felon. Each state has its own requirements.
In 2016, about 245 million people were eligible to vote in elections, but fewer than 140 million people actually participated.
Most people vote directly at polling stations on Election Day, but alternative midpoints of voting have been on the rise in recent years. In 2016, 21 percent of voters voted by mail.
The process of voting has become a controversial issue this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, as some politicians are requesting for the use of postal ballot cards on a larger scale, but President Trump states that this may lead to more fraud in the elections despite the lack of evidence of his words.
Is the election just about who is president?
No. All of the concentration will be on Trump v Biden, but voters will also be electing new members ofwhen they fill in their ballots.
Democrats now have control of the House so they will be attending to keep hold of that while also gaining control of the Senate.
If they had a majority in both chambers they would be capable to block or stop President Trump’s plans if he were to be re-elected.
When will we find out the result?
It can take some days for every vote to be counted, but it’s usually pretty apparent who the winner is by the early hours of the following morning.
Officials are already predicting that we may have to wait longer – perhaps days, even weeks – for the result this year because of the expected surge in.
The last time the result wasn’t clear within a few hours was in 2000, when the winner wasn’t confirmed untilruling was made a month later
When does the winner take office?
If Joe Biden wins the election, he wouldn’t directly replace President Trump as there is a set transition period to give the new leader time to appoint cabinet ministers and make plans.
The new president is officially sworn into office on 20 January in a ceremony known as the inauguration, which is held on the steps of the Capitol building in Washington DC.
After the ceremony, the new president makes his way to the White House to begin their four-year term in office.

barometer, device used to measure atmospheric pressure. Because atmospheric pressure changes with distance above or below sea level, a barometer can also be used to measure altitude. There are two main types of barometers: mercury and aneroid.
In the mercury barometer, atmospheric pressure balances a column of mercury, the height of which can be precisely measured. To increase their accuracy, mercury barometers are often corrected for ambient temperature and the local value of gravity. Common pressure units include pounds per square inch; dynes per square centimetre; newtons per square metre (the SI unit called the pascal); inches, centimetres, or millimetres of mercury; and millibars (1 millibar equals 1,000 dynes per square centimetre, 100 pascals, or 0.75 millimetre of mercury). Atmospheric pressure at sea level is about 14.7 pounds per square inch, equivalent to 30 inches (760 millimetres) of mercury, 1,013.2 millibars, or 101,320 pascals.
Of the many different varieties of mercury barometers, most variations arise from different techniques for measuring the height of the mercury column. Though other liquids can be used in a barometer, mercury is the most common. Its density allows the vertical column of the barometer to be of manageable size. If water were used, for instance, the column would have to be 34 feet high.
A nonliquid barometer called the aneroid barometer is widely used in portable instruments and in aircraft altimeters because of its smaller size and convenience. It contains a flexible-walled evacuated capsule, the wall of which deflects with changes in atmospheric pressure. This deflection is coupled mechanically to an indicating needle. A mercury barometer is used to calibrate and check aneroid barometers. Calibration can be, for example, in terms of atmospheric pressure or altitude above sea level. The concept of altitude above sea level, based on barometric pressure, is used to create one type of aircraft altimeter.
A barometer that mechanically records changes in barometric pressure over time is called a barograph. Though mercury barographs have been made, aneroid barographs are much more common. The motion of the aneroid capsule is magnified through levers to drive a recording pen. The pen traces a line on a graph that is usually wrapped around a cylinder driven by a clockwork mechanism.


About this event
Would you like to learn more about the various rhythmic signatures of west African music? Join us for this free of charge masterclass.
Ebrima is a professional Djembe player from Gambia. The djembe, pronounced jem-bay, is an integral part of life in West Africa. Different rhythms and the accompanying dances are performed at events such as weddings, births, and funerals.
Djembe creates intoxicating rhythm that charges you into dancing whenever you hear it. The rhythms can be simple or complex but when a group plays together, each person playing a different rhythm, the layers interlock to form the complete polyphonic sound. At times, they may come together as one in a united pattern before diverging again into something more complex. Periodically a lead drummer will play a call, signifying a change in rhythm, or a series of calls and responses, and soloists will take their turn to shine. The performance may be accompanied by dancing and even acrobatics.
In this masterclass, Ebrima will be taking us on a journey across different rhythmic patterns.
Applications are open for all ages and styles.. Musicians, dancers, and those who are just culturally curious are more than welcome to join.

A Florida Senator thought his bill to save the lives of stray animals as well as taxpayer dollars would sail right through its first committee stop. But, as Sascha Cordner reports, it drew angry opposition from animal lovers.
Republican State Senator Mike Bennett of Bradenton insists he’s an animal lover too.
“I happen to serve, have served in the past at Southeastern Guide Dogs. My wife is a volunteer there every single week. My wife and I love animals, we love dogs, and to just euthanize all of these animals without giving an opportunity, without going the extra-mile, to see if we can’t put more money into spaying and neutering and saving their lives. I think that we owe that. So, we were looking at a better way to do it, and I think that we should look at it.”
Bennett calls his bill the Florida Animal Rescue Act. It’s modeled after a California law that puts strict limits on animal euthanization.
Under the Bennett bill, animal control agencies or animal shelters may not euthanize an animal until they have notified, or attempted to notify, all rescue groups or persons on a euthanization registry. The notification must take place at least 24 hours before the animal is scheduled to be euthanized. The idea is to exhaust every adoption possibility before the animal can be put down.
But, during the bill’s first stop, the Senate Community Affairs Committee meeting, many animal groups and animal lovers stood in opposition to the bill. That included Leon County resident David Ludder, who has fostered a number of shelter animals over the past few years. He says he had a problem with how the bill requires that every Florida animal control agency, 107 to be exact, create a registry.
“Many of these shelters transport animals cross county and even cross-state and to have 107 registries is going to create an awful complication that’s very inefficient. I would recommend the bill be revised to create one registry maintained by the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services.”
Ludder also says Bennett’s bill will cost Tallahassee $1.2 million, and he’s not sure what that could be for the rest of the state. Lieutenant Jeff Doyle, Tallahassee’s Animal Control Supervisor agrees. He spoke on behalf of the Florida Animal Control Association:
“There will not be a cost savings to taxpayers under this bill, rather there will be significant costs incurred in order to comply with what would be an unfunded mandate. Initial projections show that the cost for animal sheltering in some communities could almost double. This bill mandates increased holding periods, which would ultimately lead to overcrowding in our shelters.”
Erika Luckington also lent her voice to the opposition. She is the Director of Tallahassee Animal Services, the only full-service animal shelter in the Big Bend region. She, along with most of the opponents, had a huge problem with the bill that called anyone with a certain tax status a “reputable shelter.”
“This act cites that any rescue with a 501-C-3 is automatically entitled to every animal on a euthanasia list. Unfortunately, there is no licensing agency or regulatory body that oversees animal rescue organizations in this state, and in a state where all you need is non-profit status and a web site to start up a rescue, that’s a very scary prospect.
Over the course of an hour, the opposition continued. Bennett’s bill did have one supporter in Cindy Harl. She’s an attorney for the First District Court of Appeal and has practiced animal law for several years. Harl says Bennett’s bill helps to address many things that have concerned her over the years at animal shelters.
“The bill brings an antiquated practice at least up to contemporary standards. It saves companion animal lives, taxpayer lies, governmental resources. And, overall benefits communities because it should significantly cut down on the number of animals killed in shelters. It’s in humane and not in the best interest and I urge you to support the bill.”
She made that comment, before Bennett decided to withdraw his bill and revisit it at a later time. The bill’s first stop was the Senate Community Affairs Committe, which Bennett chairs.
All the members of his committee including Senator John Thrasher admitted they would have voted unanimously for the bill. But, Thrasher says Bennett not putting the bill up to a vote this time around speaks volumes to how much Bennett wants to get the bill right.
"Think what he’s trying to do is intended to do the right thing, there may be some cost issues that we don’t know about and I know he says he said he’s willing to look at, but no one should leave here thinking that Senator Bennett does not care about the humane treatment of animals.”
Bennett was not happy, though, that none of the people who testified at the committee had talked to him about it first. So, he had a message for the critics of his bill:
“I would hope that they would get their act together and get us the information that they claim is out there. When our staff did the study, we thought that the statewide impact would be under 2-million dollars. They’re telling is the city of Tallahassee is a million and a half and we can’t figure where they’re coming up with those numbers.”
Bennett says he’s going to give those opposed to the bill a week to meet with him. And, if no one takes him up on his offer, he will move forward with getting his bill passed, as is, in the bill’s first committee stop.

Advancing targeted, controllable, multigenic therapies for cardiovascular diseases
Triple-Gene is a clinical stage gene therapy company focused on developing advanced therapies for complex cardiovascular diseases.
- 25 million patients globally suffer from heart failure
- ~6.5M patients in the US affected
- About every 90 seconds a person in the US dies from heart disease
Developing a holistic treatment for heart failure requires improvements in angiogenesis, calcium homeostasis-associated cellular energetics, reductions in inflammatory signals, and the activation/recruitment of stem cells to support heart remodeling. We are focused on advancing targeted, controllable, and multigenic gene therapies for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases.
Our lead clinical candidate is a Phase 1 non-viral investigational gene therapy that drives expression of three candidate effector genes involved in heart failure.
Triple-Gene is a majority-owned subsidiary of Precigen.
Our unique approach implements technologies that are targeted, controllable and multigenic.
- Targeted: We employ genome delivery systems designed to match disease and/or injury-related specifications.
- Controllable: We create modulated gene systems in concert with DNA/RNA/protein-based regulatory motifs, to enable spatiotemporal controls over one or more therapeutic effector molecules.
- Multigenic: We optimize multi-effector therapies to advance treatment or cure underlying disease etiologies and also to ameliorate effects of chronic comorbid tissue damage.
Triple-Gene’s lead Phase 1 stage investigational therapy INXN-4001 for heart failure uses non-viral delivery of a constitutively expressed multigenic plasmid designed to express human SDF-1α, VEGF165, and S100A1 gene products which affect progenitor cell recruitment, angiogenesis, and calcium handling, respectively. The investigational plasmid therapy is designed to target the underlying molecular mechanisms of pathological myocardial remodeling. It is delivered via Retrograde Coronary Sinus Infusion (RCSI) which allows for cardiac-specific delivery to the ventricle.
RCSI is a procedure used to deliver biological molecules to the heart. In RCSI, a balloon-catheter is inserted into the coronary sinus and left inflated for a time to occlude the coronary sinus and facilitate circulation of the therapeutic in the heart. Therapeutic molecules are infused through the catheter. Once infusion is complete, the balloon-catheter is deflated and removed.
Our Platform Advantages
Triple-Gene’s multigenic therapies are designed to drive expression of three or more potent gene products targeted at reprogramming cells and organs toward a positive health state. Our genetic architecture is built upon a suite of integrated platform technologies. We employ non-viral delivery of DNA to develop therapeutics that address the underlying causes of cardiovascular disease.
- Non-viral delivery eliminates issues of immunogenicity seen with viral-based methods
- Multigenic therapies can target multiple aspects of disease
- Our approach has enabled proof-of-concept to clinical IND in under 24 months.
Administration of our plasmid DNA therapy through the RCSI approach allows for delivery via capillary filtration increased by hydrostatic and osmotic pressures. The efficiency of transduction is dependent on the volume and time of infusion.
We are building a developmental pipeline targeting cardiovascular disease using three or more cardiac effector genes and employing several therapeutic delivery modalities. Our team is focused on completing the current Phase I study for our lead clinical candidate INXN-4001 for heart failure in adult patients with implanted Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD) while moving additional candidates through discovery.

PUDUKOTTAI, January 29, 2012
A. Kalaimani, a Dalit woman village panchayat president of Karu Vadatheru village panchayat near Vadakadu, was allegedly prevented from hoisting the tricolour on the Republic Day by a group of caste Hindus.
The group belonging to the Kallar community, led by Kumar, son of Rangammal, who is the vice-president of the village panchayat, allegedly pushed aside Ms. Kalaimani when she was about to hoist the national flag on the village panchayat office campus.
The village panchayat president told The Hindu on Saturday that she planned to hoist the tricolour at three places – the village panchayat office campus; Raja Kudiyiruppu, a residential colony; and the panchayat union primary school at Kanniyankollai.
But, in view of the problem at the village panchayat office, she allowed the group to hoist the flag at the school and cancelled her programme at the residential colony.
She has lodged a complaint with the Vadakadu police and submitted petitions to District Collector B. Maheswari and Superintendent of Police R. Tamil Chandran.

Author has written 3 stories for Harry Potter.
Hello, I'm xfsista, a fanfiction loving Potterhead who grew up in the American midwest and now lives in Los Angeles. I've been Slytherin sorted by more than one test now, and though it may not be obvious at first, I know it's the house where I belong.
I've been reading Draco/Hermione fic since November 2010 when I discovered the brilliant story "The Fallout" by everythursday (aka Sage) on Hawthorn & Vine. It was in June 2011 when I decided to start dabbling in writing Dramione myself.
Up until this point, I've primarily posted my stories at H&V, which is sadly defunct at the moment. The majority of my stuff lives at AO3, but I'm trying to locate and cross-post accordingly.

PHOENIX – Not since his rookie season in 2011 has Freddie Freeman hit less than five homers in his first 43 games of a season.
The Dodgers hit the 43-game mark on Wednesday and Freeman had just three homers, none since April 24. Freeman had joked about the lack of homers several times recently, making one wonder if he was really bothering him.
“No, as long as it hits .300,” he said. “I still play the same way. I’ve always been a linebacker, from gap to gap. The home runs will come.”
One finally arrived at the second entrance on Thursday night at Chase Field. The three-run homer ended a 128-plate wait for Freeman and was part of another big day for the Big Three at the top of the Dodgers ’lineup as they beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 14-1.
Mookie Betts hit base four times and scored twice. Freeman made five runs with his home run and two doubles. Trea Turner was 2 out of 4 with a triple boost.
All of the Dodgers’ starting eleven had a hit. But the powerful trio at the top combined to go 8 of 11 with seven runs scored and six runs driven, only in the first six innings.
The Dodgers have now scored 154 runs in May, averaging 6.4 per game. Thursday was the seventh time this month they have scored nine or more in a game. His 24 hits against the Diamondbacks are the highest of the season in MLB and they were just about to match the record of the Los Angeles-era franchise.
Only 11 batters took the game for the Dodgers to score six times against the Diamondbacks. They have scored several runs in the first inning for the third time in their last four games.
The only exception at that time was Wednesday: Betts Day off.
Betts was back at the top of the Arizona Dodgers lineup, batting on each of the first three innings and hitting base every time: with a double, a walk, and a single. Freeman followed Betts’ double in the first inning with one of his own to drive at Betts.
Betts now has at least one extra-base hit in each of his last seven outings and has scored at least once in each of his last 13 outings.
Will Smith led Freeman with a single push and the Dodgers rallied in the second inning. Cody Bellinger started with a single and scored on Chris Taylor’s double. After an outing, Betts took a walk.
That led to Freeman, who got a slider and came in from Diamondbacks holder Humberto Castellanos. He was neither down nor in enough and Freeman hit him 389 feet in the right field seats.
Freeman had a good opportunity to score the lead goal but the home team’s goalkeeper made the save. The 418-foot record went to his second double of the game and was one of five Dodgers hits in a row in four innings.
Freeman has 18 doubles, equaling the most Jackie Robinson (1950) for a Dodger in the first 44 games of the season, and equaling his substitute (Atlanta Braves first baseman Matt Olson) for the Major League lead.
The only Diamondbacks race in the game has traditionally been a Christian Walker home run. Fifteen of the 64 homers in Walker’s career came against the Dodgers, including four of his 12 this year.
More to come in this story.

Here's what some of the fans had to say.
Drained - Just wanted to thank Kirk and Crowbar for the killer dvd I love it. Its great to be able to see them jam whenever I want. Stay heavy guys.
Matt the great slayer - The new DVD is the SHIT. Y'all oughtta be real proud of it. Truly a treat for the longtime fans to see Jimmy & Kirk talk about the origins of the band as well as what's up nowadays.
C.DeFaria - The video production isn't slick, but Crowbar needs none of that. Between live footage from the German performance of "with full force," interviews with the band talking about the beginning, and music videos, this is a must have for anyone who wants to kick back and chill to some of the heaviest riffs on the planet.
"Live: with full force" goes back and forth from the live performance to interviews - kind of like how someone may actually view a Crowbar show! The only drawback on the DVD would be the lack of a few favorite tunes like "Slave no more" off the latest disc, Lifesblood for the downtrodden." Still....great DVD that's basic, but awesome - just like the mighty Crowbar!
Jonah Carden - This dvd is pretty smoking. I would rather seen them put out a show at a club or a smaller venue though. There's alot of cool interviews on here, all the music videos are on here. including a super old old where kirk looks like hes still in high school or something. it's pretty funny. todd strange is so huge too. it's funny as hell watching his faces.
Below, what the critics think
SeaOfTranquility.org Crowbar's "rockumentary" Live: With Full Force is part live concert (filmed at the German open-air festival of the same name in 2005), and part documentary, chocked with interviews, backstage mania, and music videos. This New Orleans band has been around for over a decade, and have perfected their brand of "stoner/doom metal", also sometimes known as "sludge metal.core" which owes plenty to bands like Black Sabbath, Pantera, The Melvins, CoC, Cathedral, and St. Vitus. In full support of their release Lifesblood For the Downtrodden, the live footage from With Full Force features basically one song from all of the band's albums, delivered in crushing fashion by the boys in Crowbar. Favourites like "Burn Your World", "Planets Collide", "The Lasting Dose", 'Self Inflicted", and the excellent new track "New Dawn" pummel with all the doomy powerhouse of vintage Black Sabbath or modern day Down. All of the footage from the festival is interwoven with interview clips with the band and backstage footage, which shows the band as just a bunch of regular guys, as they talk about how much they love their career despite the fact that being in a band is not all it is cracked up to be. Be prepared to laugh quite a bit at some of this candid footage, as the band don't hesitate to poke fun at each other every chance they get.
Smother.net Crowbar has often been one of those crucial metallic-edged bands that you simply must see live to fully enjoy. Well now you can do just that from the comfort of your own home. Filmed during the group’s tour to support “Lifesblood for the Downtrodden”, these live performances fully capture the Crowbar experience. Sludgy metal, down-tempo hard rock, and heavy metal anthems are all present and show why this is one band that has lasted the test of time.

The definition of holistic health products is generally utilized in Canada to define natural substances like minerals and vitamins, herbal medications, homeopathic preparations, stress remedies, energy drinks, and other alternative and traditional medical medicines. An extremely recent survey revealed that 73% of Canadians utilize NHP on an everyday basis. If you're enthusiastic about exploring the benefits of these health products , then this informative article is for you.
Let's first look at a number of the health products that are frequently included in the listing of holistic products. First of all, one must consider activated charcoal. It has been useful for centuries as an all natural remedy for various illnesses. This natural remedy is currently utilized in several NHP products, including coconut water, coconut oil, and cagrilla.
In addition to being fully a common health product, activated charcoal is also used as an element in numerous nutraceuticals. For instance, supplement manufacturers often include it within a pre-workout formula. The explanation for this is it is an incredibly effective energy booster. As well as boosting energy, studies demonstrate that cagr contains high levels of antioxidants that really help eliminate free radicals and other toxins that cause cellular damage.
As you will see, there are numerous health products that fall under the category of alternative medicine. As noted earlier, the products have traditionally been sold in clinics and doctors'offices as opposed to through pharmaceutical brands. Because of this, many individuals still possess some skepticism about them. However, by learning more about them and choosing wisely, they could provide a wide range of health advantages and can provide a better standard of living for the common person.

You do the crime, you do the time. Canadian environmentalist Rebecca Rubin was sentenced to five years in prison for contributing to 20 fires across the western part of the U.S. that caused $40 million in damage. U.S. But in addition to the prison time, District Court Judge Ann Aiken said during sentencing on Monday that Rubin must read Malcolm Gladwell’s David and Goliath, so she can learn non-violent means of protesting the man. It is unclear which part of Rubin’s sentence will be more painful.

Tom and Jerry, the famous cat and mouse that everyone knows and remembers from childhood, is making some new friends among the younger generations. The staying power of some cartoons is amazing and Tom and Jerry is a perfect example of generational staying power.
Warner Brothers has put together a delightful two-disc collection containing the entire first season of Tom and Jerry Tales which hits streets April 13, 2010. What more perfect way to roll in the spring than with tons of laughter and giggles! This Tom and Jerry collection contains 13 episodes, three cartoons per episode, for a grand total of 39 cat-and-mouse, fur flying, tricks galore adventures.
Tom and Jerry is a cartoon that can be enjoyed by adults and children alike; thus making it a perfect nighttime cuddle time or family gathering time. I love watching my three-year-old son giggle away as Tom tries to capture Jerry, only to be outsmarted in the end. My seven-year-old daughter is also a huge Tom and Jerry lover, and actually has enjoyed them since she was around three, as well. It takes a certain degree of talent to be able to captivate an audience with very little to no verbal acting, such as is common with this particular cartoon duo.
My daughter mentioned the fact that they hardly ever speak in these cartoons, yet it does not deter from the enjoyment. I do have to admit that when my daughter was younger, I was concerned about the amount of violence in the Tom and Jerry cartoons (yes, I am one of those moms). However, thinking back to when I was a child and loved watching the club-beating and head-smacking that occurs so often throughout any given Tom and Jerry episode, I never really thought anything of it, nor did it make me want to go out and smack someone. Therefore, I decided to chill out and realize that there are much worse things out there to expose my children to and a little Tom and Jerry is a great way to just laugh away a stressful day.
