Dark Phoenix (marketed outside the United States and Canada and released on home media as X-Men: Dark Phoenix) is a 2019 American superhero film based on the Marvel Comics X-Men characters. It is a sequel to 2016's X-Men: Apocalypse, the tenth installment in the X-Men film series, fourth and final installment of the prequel films and the 12th installment overall and the first X-Men film without the involvement of Hugh Jackman as Wolverine. It is also the final installment in the X-Men film series to be produced by Bad Hat Harry Productions, though the company was uncredited due to sexual assault allegations made against Bryan Singer on January 23, 2019. It was written, co-produced, and directed by Simon Kinberg (in his feature film directorial debut) and stars an ensemble cast featuring James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, Nicholas Hoult, Sophie Turner, Tye Sheridan, Alexandra Shipp, and Jessica Chastain.
Dark Phoenix tells the origin story about how Jean Grey becomes the Phoenix. The story revolves around Jean struggling with mental illness after a cosmic force enhances her psychic powers, which unlocks trauma from her childhood that causes both her mind and her powers to become unstable. It follows Jean as she tries to avoid hurting the people she loves, while other parties seek to control or kill her.
After X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014) erased the events of X-Men: The Last Stand (2006) from the series' timeline, Kinberg expressed interest in a new adaptation of Chris Claremont and John Byrne's "The Dark Phoenix Saga" in a future film that would be more faithful than his previous attempt with The Last Stand, which was met with a mixed reception, with even Kinberg and co-writer Zak Penn ultimately unimpressed with the film. The new adaptation was confirmed as a follow-up to Apocalypse in 2016. Kinberg signed on as director in June 2017, with the majority of the cast set to return from Apocalypse. Filming began later that month in Montreal and was completed in October 2017; the entire third act was reshot in late 2018 after test screenings yielded poor responses. The film is dedicated to the memory of X-Men co-creator Stan Lee, who died on November 12, 2018.
Dark Phoenix was theatrically released in the United States by 20th Century Fox on June 7, 2019, to critical and commercial failure. The film grossed $252.4 million worldwide on a $200 million production budget and lost an estimated $133 million after marketing and distribution costs, making it one of the biggest box-office bombs of all time.
In 1975, eight-year-old Jean Grey is orphaned in a car crash when her telekinetic powers manifest. Professor Charles Xavier brings her to his School for Gifted Youngsters, promising to teach her to control her mutant abilities.
In 1992, during the Space Shuttle Endeavour’s first mission, the shuttle is damaged by solar flare-like energy, and the president calls upon the X-Men to save the astronauts. Rescuing the crew, Jean is struck by the energy; her psychic powers become amplified, but harder to control as her emotional state deteriorates. Xavier reveals to the other X-Men that he suppressed Jean’s memory of causing the car crash as a child to keep the psychological trauma from making her unstable, but her enhanced power is destroying the mental blocks and she is now experiencing PTSD symptoms.
Jean travels to her hometown after seeing visions of her father and finds him alive, having survived the car crash and forsaken her. She recovers her memory and realizes that her powers, uncontrollable at the time, caused the crash and killed her mother. The X-Men arrive and, after a skirmish in which Peter Maximoff is injured, Xavier mentally freezes everyone to allow Raven Darkhölme to persuade Jean to come home, but Jean accidentally kills Raven during a violent telekinetic episode.
Fleeing to the island of Genosha, a mutant refuge run by Erik Lehnsherr, Jean asks him for help controlling her rage, but military helicopters arrive, demanding Jean's surrender; she attacks them, and Erik angrily banishes her. She is found by Vuk, leader of a shape-shifting alien race known as the D'Bari, who explains that the cosmic force Jean absorbed had wiped out the D'Bari planet, consuming everything in its path until it was drawn to Jean. She offers to help Jean learn to use the force safely.
Hank, blaming Xavier for Raven’s death, leaves the school and allies with Erik and his faction of mutants in a plan to kill Jean in New York City. Learning of Erik's plan, Kurt Wagner teleports the X-Men to New York to save her. While the two factions battle, Erik confronts Jean and Vuk but is defeated by Jean’s amplified powers. Xavier convinces Jean to read his memories, helping her former personality resurface. Remorseful, she attempts to let Vuk take the Phoenix Force from her, but Scott Summers stops her when Vuk reveals the D'Bari's intent to use the force to conquer Earth. Government troops subdue both mutant factions while Vuk escapes.
The mutants are confined on a train, and Vuk and her D'Bari forces attack, overpowering the soldiers while the mutants are freed. Charles and Scott convince Hank, Erik, and his allies that Jean is not beyond help, and they unite to fend off the D'Bari attackers before Vuk arrives. Charles confers with Jean within his mind, and she forgives him, saving the mutants from the ensuing train wreck and disintegrating the remaining D'Bari. Vuk again attempts to drain the force from Jean, who flies them into space to unleash all of her power and kill Vuk. Jean then transforms into a phoenix-shaped being of energy.
Xavier's school is renamed the "Jean Grey School for Gifted Youngsters" and Charles retires as dean, with Hank taking his place. In Paris, Charles is surprised at a café by Erik, who invites him to a game of chess, while a flaming phoenix appears high in the sky.
Other cast members include Scott Shepherd as John Grey, Jean's father; Ato Essandoh as Jones, Vuk's second in command; and Brian d'Arcy James as the President of the United States.
Additionally, Kota Eberhardt portrays telepath Selene Gallio, while Andrew Stehlin portrays Ariki, a mutant who can utilize his hair braids as a weapon; the character that was initially reported as Red Lotus. Halston Sage briefly appears as Dazzler in the character's first cinematic appearance, Hannah Emily Anderson appears as Jean's mother Elaine, and Lamar Johnson appears as Match. Veteran X-Men writer Chris Claremont makes a cameo appearance as a White House guest during the scene in which Xavier accepts his award for rescuing the crew of the space shuttle Endeavour. Daniel Cudmore, who previously portrayed Colossus in the franchise, was announced as having a role, but did not appear, though he was credited as a stunt performer.
When he joined the team making the 2003 film X2, writer Zak Penn convinced director Bryan Singer not to adapt the Marvel Comics storyline "The Dark Phoenix Saga" for the film, believing it was "too soon to go into the Phoenix story and it was too soon to get cosmic." The character of Jean Grey / Phoenix was instead explored "subtly", with the intention of the full story being adapted in the next film instead. Singer did not return to direct the sequel, X-Men: The Last Stand, which was written by Penn and Simon Kinberg. The studio chose to adapt the "Dark Phoenix Saga" as only one of the film's "parallel storylines", with an executive at 20th Century Fox suggesting that the "Gifted" storyline also be in that film. This version of the story was not well received by fans and critics. Kinberg stated that he and Penn were ultimately unhappy with how the adaptation turned out as well.
After the timeline of the X-Men franchise was retconned with the 2014 film X-Men: Days of Future Past, it was noted that a new adaptation of the "Dark Phoenix Saga" could be made that ignores the events of The Last Stand. Kinberg and Singer both expressed interest in the prospect, and hinted that 2016's X-Men: Apocalypse would set up elements for a retelling. Apocalypse introduces Sophie Turner as a young Jean Grey and begins exploring "how powerful she is". By April 2016, the sequel to Apocalypse was being rumored to indeed be a re-adaptation of "The Dark Phoenix Saga". In May 2016, Kinberg said that the next X-Men film after Apocalypse would be set in the 1990s, advancing one decade, as had been done for each of the previous few X-Men films. He also noted that Apocalypse had introduced younger versions of several characters from the original X-Men films to give them a new origin story—including Storm, Cyclops, Nightcrawler, and Jean Grey—with the intention of then exploring them in their own line of films. He added that he also hoped to see the cast of the previous trilogy of films return, namely James McAvoy as Charles Xavier, Michael Fassbender as Erik Lehnsherr / Magneto, and Jennifer Lawrence as Raven Darkhölme / Mystique.
In July, Kinberg said he would begin writing the next mainline X-Men film "real soon". That November, Fox was said to be pressing "the reset button" on the franchise due to the financial and critical under-performance of Apocalypse, with the franchise being reconfigured and Singer not returning to direct the next film. McAvoy, Fassbender, Lawrence, and Nicholas Hoult's contracts from the previous trilogy had ended, but Kinberg was optimistically writing the new script with them in mind. It was rumored in February 2017 that the next film would be titled X-Men: Supernova, and would begin filming that June. Also in February, Turner confirmed that she would return for the film. Kinberg was believed to be interested in making his directorial debut with the film, and was described as the top contender for the job with interest from Fox. The studio was also looking to negotiate new deals with Lawrence, Fassbender, McAvoy, and Hoult to return. By the end of the month, Kinberg described reports that he might direct the film as "premature", but added that, if he were to direct, he would not be daunted by the scale of the film due to his experience writing and producing many of the other X-Men films. He also reiterated that he would adapt "The Dark Phoenix Saga" differently than they had in The Last Stand, if given another opportunity to do so.
Simon Kinberg began writing the film in late 2016. The movie would work as an origin story about how Jean Grey becomes the Phoenix and would centered around her struggling with mental health issues; research was done on various trauma-related mental illnesses.
Concept art revealed that, originally, the film was to feature the return of Emma Frost and a new incarnation of the Hellfire Club. The new members were Harry Leland, Friedrich von Roehm, Fenris, Shinobi Shaw, and the Red Lotus gang (whom Andrew Stehlin was set to play). They were replaced with the Skrulls as the film's villains after the script was rewritten, and the Skrulls were replaced with the D'Bari after reshoots. However, the role the aliens play in the story was still based on the Hellfire Club, with Jessica Chastain's character being inspired by Mastermind and Emma Frost. More concept art revealed that the scene with the D’Bari watching Charles Xavier at the White House was an element from the earlier script, as the Hellfire Club can be seen watching the event on television at their lair.
Kinberg said at the start of March 2017 that he and producer Hutch Parker had begun early prep on the film, and that Supernova was just a code name they had been using for the sequel. He said they began discussing the story for the film during post-production on Apocalypse, and that they wanted to do "something bold and radical and expand the universe in the same way that Logan feels bold and radical and certainly Deadpool does as well." In pitching the film to the studio, Kinberg used real world imagery, such as footage of disasters and lightning strikes, and focused on an organic and grounded approach as a response to criticisms of Apocalypse's heightened reality. Fox officially titled the film Dark Phoenix in April 2017 and gave it a release date of November 2, 2018. Fassbender indicated in May that he would be returning for the film, and Parker soon hinted that a younger version of the character Rogue could appear and that the film might explore the cosmic elements of the "Dark Phoenix" storyline.
Fox confirmed that Kinberg would direct the film and that McAvoy, Fassbender, Lawrence, and Hoult had all signed on to return for one more film. In addition to Turner, Apocalypse actors Alexandra Shipp, Tye Sheridan, and Kodi Smit-McPhee were also confirmed to be returning, while producers for the film were revealed to be Kinberg and Parker. At that time, Chastain was in talks to join the cast as Shi'ar Empress Lilandra, the film's villain. The film's script was said to "hew closer" to the original "Dark Phoenix Saga" by Chris Claremont and John Byrne than The Last Stand did. Despite being listed as a producer, Lauren Shuler Donner had no involvement in the film and was only given credit due to contract terms. It was later revealed that the character Dazzler would appear in the film, after being hinted at in a scene that was eventually deleted from Apocalypse. Halston Sage was cast in the role in August 2017. Singer was originally announced as being a producer on the film, but following allegations of sexual abuse against him, Kinberg stated that he was not involved in the film and his name would not be in the film's credits.
Daniel Orlandi returned as costume designer for the film after doing so on Logan. He worked with Kinberg to come up with costumes for the X-Men that were closer to the original comic designs that Kinberg had wanted to see in the films since he first joined the franchise, but had never been in a position to control before. The final costumes for the film feature the yellow-and-blue design of the original comics, but combine features of designs from many different incarnations of the group. Kinberg also looked to Logan for general design inspiration, wanting to replicate the "naturalistic" and "handmade" quality of that film for the costumes, sets, props, and title design. He felt that this would give more impact to the large-scale elements of the film, and help it be more emotional, comparing this idea to the original Star Wars films.
Principal photography began on June 28, 2017, in Montreal, Quebec, under the working title Teen Spirit. Mauro Fiore served as cinematographer. Filming primarily took place at MELS Studios. Before the end of the month, Evan Peters was set to reprise his role as "audience favorite" character Quicksilver from the previous films, and Lamar Johnson joined the cast in an undisclosed role. At the start of August, Chastain confirmed her involvement in the film; she was interested in the story, after turning down roles in other superhero films, due to its focus on female characters. She later revealed that she was not actually playing Lilandra. Kinberg said he wanted the film to be "human" and emotional like previous X-Men films, and that he was looking to ground the "Dark Phoenix Saga" story for his adaptation "so it's not too intergalactic". He later clarified that the film would still include alien characters as in the comic storyline, an element that was ignored for the Last Stand adaptation, but which he felt was integral to the story. He also said that the film would tonally be less operatic than previous X-Men films, which he hoped would make it more relatable for audiences. By September, Daniel Cudmore had stated that he would be appearing in the film, but could not confirm whether he would be reprising his role as Colossus from previous films in the franchise. Olivia Munn initially said that she would reprise her role as Psylocke, but by February 2019 she revealed that she was unable to reprise her role due to scheduling conflicts with filming The Predator. Filming was completed on October 14, 2017.
In December 2017, Kinberg revealed that the film would be in post-production for almost a year, longer than usual for the series, because he wanted to take the time to have the visual effects look right by focusing on the "nuance" of the effects, rather than the scale. He also explained that he "felt in his gut" that this was the story he needed to tell once Singer left the franchise, and that his vision for the film was "so clear in my head, emotionally and visually, that it would have killed me to hand this to somebody else to direct." The film was described as being the most sinister and somber of the franchise, with McAvoy finding it to be the most emotional of the X-Men films he had worked on. It becomes a "fight for Jean's soul" and features a twist that was intended to have significant repercussions on the entire franchise. Lawrence revealed that she had worked to convince Kinberg to direct the film, and had promised to return for it if he did so, despite her dislike of the make-up required to portray her character. It was revealed that the film would introduce a version of the island Genosha, adapted to the film as a mutant refuge led by Magneto, and that it would focus on the female characters more so than previous films in the series, particularly Jean Grey, as both the protagonist and antagonist of the story, and Chastain's character, with whom Grey has a complex relationship.
Fox delayed the film's release in March 2018, pushing it back from November 2, 2018, to February 14, 2019. This was because Fox and Kinberg wanted to schedule some routine reshoots for the film after receiving feedback from audiences during a test screening, but were not able to get all of the necessary cast members together until August or September 2018. This would not have left enough time to complete post-production work, such as visual effects, for the additional footage before the November 2018 release date. Specifically, Kinberg was looking to rework the third act of the film, and re-wrote part of the script ahead of the reshoots. With post-production already underway, the film was believed to have been under-budget, while the planned reshoots would cost less than $10 million. Additionally, Kinberg and the studio had been looking to change the film's release date for "some time" to avoid competing with the Christmas-oriented film The Nutcracker and the Four Realms. The new February release date was noted as having the film opening away from other major studio films, while placing it on President's Day weekend, which had proved to be successful for Deadpool and Marvel's Black Panther. Addressing the reshoots, Kinberg confirmed the scheduling delays, and described the photography as a "normal" part of the film's creation that would allow him "enough time to have it ready and looking perfect."
At the end of April, a Fox panel at the 2018 CinemaCon revealed the first logo for the film. It did not include "X-Men" in the title, but included a circle around the 'X' in Dark Phoenix which was compared to the X-Files logo; the film was later confirmed to be simply titled Dark Phoenix in the United States, and X-Men: Dark Phoenix for release internationally. By that August, the reshoots were expected to take place in Montreal over two-and-a-half weeks, though the Quebec Film and Television Bureau believed that these reshoots would take up to three months to complete, due to scheduling conflicts among the cast members. The reshoots were set to take place at MTL Grandé studios, since MELS Studios was reserved for another production during the reshoot period, and had begun by August 31. At the end of September, after the release of the film's first trailer, Fox again delayed the film's release, setting it for June 7, 2019. This date was seen as a better time to release the film in China, where the trailer received more attention than it did in the United States, while also allowing it to take advantage of premium screens that had previously been reserved for Fox's newly delayed (and later canceled) Gambit film. The move was also reportedly to appease James Cameron, who had Alita: Battle Angel moved from December to February due to concerns Cameron had about releasing Alita during a crowded holiday season and did not want competition from another Fox would-be blockbuster; Kinberg and Dark Phoenix producers opposed the change, as the film was not made for a summer release and was facing heavy competition.
In January 2019, Lana Condor revealed that she was unable to return as Jubilee, due to her commitment to the film To All the Boys I've Loved Before (2018). Lee Smith served as editor for the film. Visual effects were provided by MPC, MELS, Rising Sun Pictures, Rodeo FX, Scanline VFX and Soho VFX, with Phil Brennan serving as the main visual effects supervisor.
Main article: Dark Phoenix (soundtrack)
Hans Zimmer was reported to compose music for the film in January 2018, despite his statement in March 2016, saying that he had officially retired from the "superhero business", following his experience working on Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. In another interview that September, Zimmer justified his statement on his conversations with Ron Howard, who convinced him not keep to a "blanket" view and avoid an entire genre, instead focusing on waiting for the right story. Impressed by Kinberg's narration and vision, Zimmer agreed to join the production, and wrote new themes for X-Men, Magneto, and the Phoenix, and omitted previously established themes written by John Ottman. The score album was released by Fox Music on June 7, 2019, alongside the film.
The soundtrack initially received a mixed critical response. A second album, entitled Xperiments from Dark Phoenix, featuring previously unreleased music written for the film, was announced in late July, after the material (consisting of a two-disc set, with the additional score in the second disc), was remained unreleased and fan-led petitions to release the score was made. Fox Music and Zimmer's studio company Remote Control Productions released the album on August 5, 2019, which received a fairly positive response.
On September 26, 2018, Turner revealed the first trailer for Dark Phoenix on The Late Late Show with James Corden before Fox released it online. Responses to the trailer widely considered it to be too similar to X-Men: The Last Stand. Graeme McMillan and Aaron Couch of The Hollywood Reporter wrote that this feeling could have been avoided if the trailer had shown more of the film's space and alien elements, which would have differentiated it from the Last Stand adaptation. Scott Mendelson at Forbes called the trailer "dull," and said that its focusing on the characters, rather than big effects or action, was a risk by Fox, given that audiences have indicated through the box office numbers of X-Men: Apocalypse that they are not necessarily interested in this version of the X-Men characters. The trailer was watched 8 million times within 24 hours on Fox's YouTube channel, but received 44 million views within that same time period across Chinese social media platforms, leading to Fox re-focusing their release plans on China.
A second trailer was released on February 27, 2019, followed by a third and final trailer on April 17. Some press estimated that Fox spent a total of around $90 million promoting the film.
In March 2019, Vanity Fair reported that the film faced promotional difficulties because long-term employees of the Fox marketing team had been laid-off after Fox's merger with Disney. They reported that a Fox marketing executive said: "We know when we are dropping a trailer, but we are nowhere near where we should be at this time. It's frightening. I would be mad if I were a filmmaker." Similar reports were made after the film's release, with The Hollywood Reporter stating that, based on an NRG tracking poll taken in May, the film had lower awareness rates than any other film in the series. Deadline Hollywood reported that they had been hearing about the marketing campaign being in disarray since February and cited this as a major factor in the film's financial failure. They also reported that Disney had attempted to integrate the film into their marketing department, but they did not have enough time, which Simon Kinberg confirmed in a KCRW podcast.
On May 23, 2019, a music video for "Extraordinary Being" by Emeli Sandé was released, which featured footage from Dark Phoenix.
Dark Phoenix, which was distributed by 20th Century Fox, had its world premiere on June 4, 2019, at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, California, Its United States theatrical release began on June 7, 2019; Dark Phoenix was originally going to be the first “Marvel” movie starring a female superhero, when it was originally slated for November 2, 2018, but that went to Brie Larson and Captain Marvel (2019) when the Dark Phoenix release date was changed and moved away from Captain Marvel, rescheduled for February 14, 2019—a month before Captain Marvel  -- before being pushed to June. The film was titled X-Men: Dark Phoenix outside of the United States.
Dark Phoenix was released in the US on digital download by 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment on September 3, 2019, and was released on Ultra HD Blu-ray, Blu-ray, and DVD on September 17. On June 3, 2021, Disney announced that Dark Phoenix would be available to stream on Disney+ starting September 3.
The film grossed $65.8 million in the United States and Canada, and $186.6 million in other territories, for a worldwide total of $252.4 million. Deadline Hollywood calculated the net loss of the film to be $133 million, when factoring together all expenses and revenues.
In the United States and Canada, Dark Phoenix was released alongside The Secret Life of Pets 2, and was initially projected to gross $50–60 million from 3,721 theaters in its opening weekend, with the studio expecting a $50-million debut. However, after making $14 million on its first day, including $5 million from Thursday night previews (the lowest X-Men total since The Wolverine's $4 million in 2013), projections were lowered to $34 million. It ended up debuting to $32.8 million, finishing second behind The Secret Life of Pets 2. This was, at the time, the lowest opening weekend total of any film in the franchise by $20 million and the first time an X-Men film did not top the box office the week of its release. In its second weekend, the film fell 71.5% to $9.4 million, finishing fifth. The following weekend, the film was pulled from 1,667 theaters and made $3.5 million, finishing tenth.
In other territories, the film was projected to gross $120–135 million, including $50–60 million from China, for a global debut of around $170 million. The film made $13 million on its first day in China (including previews). It ended up debuting to just $103.7 million internationally and $136.5 million worldwide. Its largest markets were China ($45.6 million), South Korea ($5.1 million), Mexico ($5 million) and the United Kingdom ($4.9 million).
On Rotten Tomatoes, Dark Phoenix holds an approval rating of 22% based on 386 reviews and has an average rating of 4.6/10. The site's critical consensus reads: "Dark Phoenix ends an era of the X-Men franchise by taking a second stab at adapting a classic comics arc—with deeply disappointing results." It is the lowest-rated installment of the X-Men film series on the website. On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 43 out of 100 based on 52 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews". Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "B−" on an A+ to F scale, and those at PostTrak gave it an overall positive score of 69% (with an average 3 out of 5 stars) and a 49% "definite recommend".
Writing for TheWrap, William Bibbiani said of the film: "It would be wonderful to report that Dark Phoenix was an impressive send-off to this long-running franchise... Instead it's just a disappointingly average superhero flick, with a familiar story, disinterested actors, some cool action sequences, and a whole lot of missed opportunities." Michael Phillips of the Chicago Tribune gave the film 1.5 out of 4 stars and said, "It's hard to even render an opinion on the discrete strengths and weaknesses of a franchise that has devolved to the point of Dark Phoenix, a lavishly brutal chore nearly as violent as the Wolverine movie Logan and a movie featuring more death by impalement and whirling metal than all the Saw movies put together."
Matt Goldberg of Collider gave the film a grade of "D" and wrote, "When Marvel Studios inevitably reboots X-Men, a movie like Dark Phoenix will be a forgotten relic. The characters and their world deserve better, but we'll have to wait until their next evolution." Kurt Loder of Reason magazine wrote, "There are several things wrong with Dark Phoenix. I'm tempted to say everything is wrong with it, except that the picture is largely in focus and the credits appear to be correctly spelled. Other than that, though..." Rodrigo Perez of The Playlist said: "Its atrocious, expository dialogue, cumbersome plot, whiplashing character motivations, unintentionally funny moments, and often corny costumes ensure Dark Phoenix will be remembered in the annals of mediocre movies."
Conversely, Variety's Owen Gleiberman summarized his positive review with, "The X-Men franchise wraps up... with a functionally plotted sequel that attains a note of ominous majesty, thanks to Sophie Turner's presence as an X-Woman consumed by the awesomeness of her power."
Kate Erbland of Indiewire and Anne Cohen of Refinery29 criticized certain moments of the film, particularly a moment in which Raven suggests that the name of the team be changed to the "X-Women", for attempting to pander to female audiences, which they described as "cheeky", "inorganic" and "condescending". They compared these to similar moments in other blockbuster films, and Erbland felt that they distracted from more constructive aspects of its female-centric perspective. Nikolay Nikolov of Mashable wrote that the feminist messages of the film were "a refreshing attempt to fix some of the mistakes made in the past". However, in the behind the scenes feature The Making of Dark Phoenix, both the cast and crew state they did not intend to make a feminist message.
Kinberg took responsibility for the film's poor reception, stating: "I'm here, I'm saying when a movie doesn't work, put it on me. I'm the writer-director, the movie didn't connect with audiences, that's on me."
The film was nominated for two Golden Raspberry Awards, but did not win either of them. It was nominated in the category Worst Prequel, Remake, Rip-off or Sequel, and Jessica Chastain was nominated as Worst Supporting Actress, but lost to Rambo: Last Blood and Rebel Wilson in Cats, respectively.
In May 2016, Kinberg said that Dark Phoenix would be the first in a new trilogy focusing on the younger versions of the original X-Men characters who had been introduced in Apocalypse. It was initially planned as a two-film story, with the parts to be filmed back-to-back. However, in late pre-production the studio decided to only produce one film with the prequel cast, as new management did not want any more X-Men movies set in the past due to the reception of X-Men: Apocalypse, resulting in rewrites such as replacing the Hellfire Club with alien antagonist. For a while, it was still possible for the Phoenix story to continue in a potential sequel, with an eventual crossover with the New Mutants series based on the "Inferno" storyline, but those plans were ultimately cancelled after the acquisition of 21st Century Fox by Disney caused the film rights to revert to Marvel Studios. This resulted in footage being cut from both the Dark Phoenix and The New Mutants films that had been intended to be expanded upon in sequels.
Chris Claremont confirmed the two-film plan and revealed that this film centers on Jean as Phoenix and the second was going to feature Dark Phoenix. According to Claremont, the film's purpose is to make the audience fall in love with Jean, while the purpose of the second was to break their hearts.
According to visual effects supervisor Greg Butler, the story was originally meant to be more cosmic, but that aspect of the Phoenix was meant for the second part of the two-film story. In June 2017, it was rumored that the Shi'ar alien race would be featured in the film, and Angelina Jolie was being looked at for a role, though she was not expected to accept the part. Jessica Chastain was also potentially being considered for the same character. Chastain herself had admitted her character kept changing, adding that she did not even know that her character was named Vuk until she saw the movie.
Chris Claremont remarked, "My problem with both iterations of Dark Phoenix onscreen, the original by Brett Ratner and the newer version by Simon Kinberg, is, I don't think you can do it effectively in 90 minutes. You can tell a good story in that timeframe, which I think Simon did, but it's not the evocation of the story that Dave and John and Paul and I created, it doesn't have the impact of knowing the characters and their dynamics and building to it conclusively in this narrative way... The challenge is, in terms of a canon like X-Men, it's more like Harry Potter and Hogwarts, or Game of Thrones. It needs time and space to evolve and to bring the reader or viewer in and give them a result that's worth the investment of that time."
Simon Kinberg stated that, if he had four hours to tell the story, he would have included the Hellfire Club and Lilandra.
Shortly after Disney bought 20th Century Studios from Fox, actor Sebastian Stan (who portrays Bucky Barnes in the MCU) stated that it was possible for Hugh Jackman to return as Wolverine, if Jackman choose to return to the role. Later in March 2019, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige was reported to have approached several members of the original X-Men cast. This was later confirmed by Patrick Stewart who was asked to reprise his role and did so in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. The writer of the film Michael Waldron stated that this was an alternate version of the character but confirmed that the X-Men series was canon to the MCU multiverse.
In 2020, Feige announced at the San Diego Comic-Con that an untitled mutant-centered project was in the works at Marvel Studios. Deadpool 3 will be the next film in the X-Men series, with Hugh Jackman reprising his role as Wolverine and it will be set before the events of Logan.

The Red Wings only came up with two runs on four hits on Thursday, but it was good enough to get out of Pawtucket with a two-game sweep and extend their winning streak to five after defeating the Red Sox 2-1 at McCoy Stadium in Pawtucket, RI.
Alex Meyer improved to 5-4, allowing a run on three hits and seven strikeouts over six innings. Meyer left on a high note by striking out the side in the bottom of the sixth.
Tied in the top of the seventh, Dan Rohlfing hit the go-ahead RBI double that scored Pedro Florimon, who reached on a double to lead off the inning.
The Red Wings lead the IL in doubles with 178. They have now collected at least a pair of doubles in 17 of their last 21 games and have 62 doubles in the last 23 games.
Rochester's streak of consecutive games with an extra-base hit continues to a season-high 43 games.
The bottom third of the Red Wings (49-38) lineup accounted for all four hits and both RBI. Chris Rahl was responsible for the first Red Wings' run with a solo home run to lead off the top of the fifth. It was Rahl's fifth home run of the year.
Ryan Pressly came in in relief of Meyer and earned his fifth save, allowing one hit and striking out three in three innings.

Soon after the above tweet, she issued a statement to People in explanation of her decision to quit the show. “In an effort to capitalize on my recent breakup, the network has decided to focus their energy on re-editing events that didn’t happen while filming,” she said, adding that “any attempt to compromise the honesty” of her reality show “would be an insult” to her viewers.
And while I don’t necessarily look to reality television for, you know, integrity-in-storytelling, I almost want to cut Von D some slack. I mean, this kid thinks Jesse James was the love of her life (in the meantime, the love of Jesse James’ life is Jesse James), so she doesn’t want some hack retconning her grand fairytale romance. Sigh.

The Sims 5: Everything We Know
Longtime fans of the series know that EA’s Sims games are always released after extended hiatuses between titles. But even accounting for the habitual delays, the time for a new installment is ripe by now. The much-awaited sequel to The Sims 4 is getting very little attention from developers, and EA has been tight-lipped as well.
This isn’t to say that things aren’t happening behind the scenes, but there’s very little reason to believe that The Sims 5 is going to be released this year. All we have is speculation. Much to the fans’ dismay, Maxis still seems to be working on other projects. So, let’s go over what is happening and what it indicates.
The Right Time for the Next Sims
E3 2019 recently concluded amid much excitement and some disappointment. Fans expected new information to be revealed about The Sims 5, and there was a great deal of speculation about it. But few could have predicted what actually happened – which was nothing, not even a casual mention or a throwaway line. Neither Maxis nor EA had anything to say about the next installment of the Sims games. To be fair, the same took place at last year’s E3, so perhaps we should have been expecting it after all.
What does this mean? It could be a solid sign that there’s really nothing to say, or it could mean that developers just don’t want to go public with any information just yet.
In a (since deleted) tweet, an EA executive mentioned that the feasibility of another Sims game would be significantly tied to how well The Sims 4 performs throughout its lifespan. The good news is that The Sims 4 has actually done very well. Though it had a rough start because it lacked certain features from previous installments, it has since done very well and initial sales were good. In fact, The Sims 4 has done so well that the franchise may be suffering from success.
How Much Is Too Much?
The Sims 4 has had seven expansion packs so far, each with a significant amount of content, and the team has indicated in interviews that 12 EPs is the eventual goal. Along with expansions, Maxis has been releasing game packs, “stuff” packs, and additional DLC all on a steady schedule. Many of the key developers have been moved to such projects. All this implies that The Sims 4 remains their main focus for now.
There are good indications that the added content for The Sims 4 will continue well into 2020. This may be clogging up the pipe for other development opportunities, namely The Sims 5. While Maxis has expressed unreserved interest in continuing the series, they may have to get through The Sims 4 before a new game is considered.
Another Casualty of the Console Wars
The release of The Sims 4 on Xbox One and PS4 was an important factor in its success. There’s every reason to believe that The Sims 5 will also enjoy a console release. However, that may mean waiting for the next gen to come around.
Microsoft and Sony have already unveiled plans for their next generation of consoles and they are, for better or for worse, coming very soon. With a planned 2020 release date, it makes sense for game developers to be cautiously patient about the games that will be released in the interim. While many players won’t upgrade immediately, there will be a massive number of early adopters who will eagerly snatch up whatever games are available.
This ultimately has a potential impact on the release date for The Sims 5 release. If Maxis isn’t in a rush, there’s no reason to release the game until they can launch it on the next generation of consoles.
So What Do We Know?
The answer is… precious little. The developers definitely want to release the game, but The Sims 4 (along with its additional content) is doing so well that they aren’t incentivized to rush it. EA wants to publish a new game, but again, it makes little financial sense to cannibalize its own product.
New features have been discussed across many platforms, such as aging systems and an open world. The truth is there’s no official statement about any feature that will definitely make it into the next Sims, and this is completely speculative.
The best guess for the release of The Sims 5 is that it will be on the 20th anniversary of the series, which just happens to be in 2020. There isn’t an official statement about it yet, but everything seems to line up, and it’s a great opportunity that would probably have a big impact on fans.
That About Sims It Up
So as you can see, Sim gurus are not saying much. Nor is anyone on the publishing end. There’s interest on both sides to get this done and it would definitely be profitable, but the time just isn’t right yet. For now, the best guess is a 2020 release date. The good news is that The Sims 4 is alive and kicking, and you can expect the steady stream of Sims content to continue flowing unabated.
Do you have a favorite expansion for The Sims 4? Where do you stand on the debate of more content versus an entirely new game?

It is Mr Lewis's first large corporate move since he sold out of Blenheim in 1991. It also comes just weeks after he backed out of a consortium to buy Nottingham Forest football club at the last minute.
Speaking from Barcelona where his yacht is being re-fitted for next month's Monte Carlo Grand Prix, Mr Lewis said: "This is my first real day back at work since Blenheim five years ago. It's nice to be back in the driving seat."
Mr Lewis said he hoped to use Cementone as a vehicle to make acquisitions, which could include a football club: "I won't rule that out as the Nottingham Forest situation gave me a flavour for it. But there are not many opportunities left in the Premiership."
He said the proposal to buy the stake in Cementone from Vijay Mallya, the Indian entrepreneur who runs UB International, came while he was in the midst of the Forest negotiations.
Mr Lewis said he hoped to be nominated to the Cementone board next week. He would consider opportunities in the exhibitions sector if the right deal was available. Other possibilities could be in the media and leisure sectors.
Shares in Cementone soared 30 per cent to 60.5p on the news.
Mr Lewis's return to the market follows similar recent moves by former Blenheim chairman Neville Buch. Earlier this week Mr Buch emerged as a 21.9 per cent shareholder in Somic, a manufacturer of yarns and woven fabric. A few weeks previously he picked up a 29.9 stake in BBB, a small design firm he chairs. Mr Buch made pounds 25m from the sale of Blenheim to United News & Media in the pounds 600m deal last year.
Though Lawrie Lewis is resident in Monte Carlo it is thought he would like to spend more time here.
His interest in the Nottingham Forest takeover saga saw him briefly involved in two competing consortia bidding for control.

It is not without a bit of irony that, in the 40 years since the explosion of the Watergate story, Bob Woodward would again be under attack from the White House for trying to tell the truth. But this time the attack is coming from a Democrat.
While Barack Obama may not share the Nixon pedigree, he and his White House are the closest thing to the Nixon regime of any that we have seen since then -- both in the extent of their paranoia and their willingness to suppress the truth and push the boundaries of law.
In my lifetime, in over 40 years in national politics, Mr. Obama is the only president who comes close to rivaling Richard Nixon for fundamental disingenuousness.
However, some things never change, just as Woodward and Bernstein were attacked then by the establishment mainstream media for daring to question a president -- or do a story that they wouldn't touch -- they are once again attacking Woodward the way they did when he and Carl Bernstein pursued Watergate.
As the youngest person on Nixon's enemies list in 1972, I am particularly sensitive to a White House where they have utter disregard for trampling on dissent and on the rights of individuals.
Since Benghazi, when I raised the alarm about a media that was not only willing to blatantly support one political party or one political a candidate but for the first time seemed willing to suppress or ignore the facts and truth as related to a disaster of American foreign policy, my fear has been that we are now on a slippery slope. Almost everything since then has helped to realize that fear. Chuck Hagel, the sequester, Mr. Obama's speeches -- all of these have revealed a mainstream press that has absolutely decided to wear its bias openly as outriders of the Obama administration. Except for one issue -- when the president refused to allow reporters to cover him and Tiger Woods playing golf together. Now that's something they can get riled up about.
What this Woodward, White House sequester battle highlights is the crisis in our democracy. Not so much for what it says about Mr. Obama and his administration but for what it says about the establishment press and all the members of my own party.
During Watergate, there were a number of Republicans who were willing to stand against the president of their party in defense of the United States of America.
Sadly, as as Democrat, I must confess, that today there is no Democratic Senator or member of the House who appears to be willing to publicly put the country ahead of Barack Obama's White House.
As important as these other issues are, however, nothing rivals Benghazi.
During the Chuck Hagel confirmation fight, it was revealed that to this day, neither the public nor the Congress know the names of those who were evacuated out of Benghazi. Nor have we ever seen the transcripts of the interviews which were conducted immediately after the event.
The White House's excuse, that this information cannot be revealed because of an FBI investigation, is eerily and frighteningly similar to Nixon telling H.R. Haldeman and John Ehrlichman to "turn off" the Watergate investigation as it threatened national security.
Sadly, it now appears that Director Mueller and the FBI are willing to serve, once again, as an instrument of cover up for an administration -- this time following a tragedy in which 4 Americans are now dead.
As much as I have always admired Bob Woodward and admire now him in the sequester fight and for his willingness to take on the White House, I cannot refrain from expressing my disappointment that this man, who did such a service for the country 40 years ago, has essentially taken himself off the boards of the Benghazi fiasco. I wish that if Woodward were to get in a fight, he would do it on an issue that really matters to the safety of the United States.

Hot Stories for the Week of June 27
This is a partial transcript from "The Beltway Boys", July 2, 2005, that has been edited for clarity.
Watch "The Beltway Boys" Saturday at 6 p.m. ET and Sunday at 1 and 6 a.m. EST.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
GEORGE W. BUSH, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: The nation deserves, and I will select, a Supreme Court justice that Americans can be proud of. The nation also deserves a dignified process of confirmation in the United States Senate, characterized by fair treatment, a fair hearing, and a fair vote.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
FRED BARNES, HOST: I’m Fred Barnes.
JUAN WILLIAMS, GUEST HOST: And I’m Juan Williams, in for Mort Kondracke. Tonight, we’re "The Beltway Boys."
BARNES: And Juan, the hot story is, rightward tilt. I’m obviously referring to the Supreme Court after the retirement announcement on Friday by Justice Sandra Day O’Connor (search). You know, it actually can be, as the president suggested, a dignified process, this confirmation process of a replacement for O’Connor. It doesn’t have to be a pitched battle. It wasn’t in ‘92 and ‘93.
Back then, President Clinton named two liberals, Ruth Bader Ginsburg (search) and Stephen Breyer (search), who moved the court significantly to the left, and yet it happened in a process that lasted 53 days. Republicans didn’t trash them or anything, because they were respected jurists, widely acclaimed, only liberal. They didn’t agree with their liberalism, but they didn’t turn it into a free-for-all.
It was Democrats who turned the confirmation process into a pitched battle back in 1987 when Robert Bork (search) was picked by Ronald Reagan to be a Supreme Court justice. Of course, he didn’t win. You will recall, I bet, Juan, that famous statement, over-the- top demagogic statement by Senator Edward Kennedy (search ), which tended to hang over the hearings as they went on.
And it went like this. "Robert Bork’s America is a land in which women will be forced into back-alley abortions, blacks would sit at segregated lunch counters, rogue police could break down citizens’ doors in midnight raids, school children could not be taught about evolution, writers and artists could be censored at the whim of the government, and the doors of the federal courts would be shut on the fingers of millions of citizens."
Now, you know, when it sounds like Senator Kennedy is headed in that same direction again. Here’s what he said after Sandra Day O’Connor retired.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
SEN. EDWARD M. KENNEDY (D), MASSACHUSETTS: If the president abuses his power and nominations someone who threatens to roll back the rights and freedoms of the American people, then the American people will insist that we oppose that nominee, and we intend to do so.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
BARNES: Now, my suspicion is, and maybe it’s yours as well, that Kennedy and many of these Senate Democrats are going to say that any conservative picked by President Bush is someone who’s going to roll back freedoms and all that hysterical stuff.
And Bush, I believe, is going to name a conservative. And we’ll get to some of the names in a minute. But, you know, the president has styled himself, he’s a different kind of Republican, he’s a guy who came to Washington not to just ratify the status quo or the convent, or follow the conventional wisdom, that he’s someone who takes on the big issues. He’s going to produce conservative change.
This is the opportunity he can do exactly that, opportunity for it perfectly.
WILLIAMS: Well, I don’t think there’s any question. In fact, I would argue that the legacy of this Bush administration, two terms in office, is going to be Iraq and these judicial appointments. The Supreme Court is going to be a key part of the way that we remember George W. Bush.
But, you know, Fred, I think I disagree with you when you say that the Democrats are the ones who politicized the process. Let’s think about this for a second. Seven of the nine members of the court have been appointed by Republican presidents. Without a doubt, the president’s going to nominate a conservative. That’s what he said he’s going to do. I think he’s a man of his word. I think he will do it.
But just remember, this is a Sandra Day O’Connor, who sat on the court and voted to put this man in office. And let’s not pretend that Sandra Day O’Connor’s some moderate. I mean, Sandra Day O’Connor was a, appointed by President Reagan and was a conservative, and maybe she reasoned differently than some of the members of the far right, but I don’t think that’s any reason to think that Sandra Day O’Connor should be diminished.
Let me also say that the GOP is the one who I think in recent years has politicized this court. Think about the Terri Schiavo case. Think about even the recent eminent domain case. You may disagree with the ruling, but it’s not a reason to undermine the credibility and standing of the court in American life. I think that’s very dangerous.
But in this fight that’s coming up, you can bet it’s going to be a tough fight, $18 million already put away by the president’s friends to defend whoever the nominee may be. You’ve already got names on the left, like Carter Askew...
WILLIAMS: ... Joe Lockhart (search ), people who were working with President Clinton, who are all geared up, they’re sending out mass mailings...
WILLIAMS: ... already getting ready to attack whomever the president’s nominee may be.
WILLIAMS: So what we come to now is the process. Senator Specter, the head of the Judiciary Committee, possibly Orrin Hatch (search), if Specter’s cancer flares up or something like that, say they can -- want to get this thing done in about six to eight weeks. That means the president’s going to have to have a nominee in place pretty quickly...
BARNES: Yes, indeed.
WILLIAMS: Some are saying he wants to narrow the window of time that his nominee could be attacked. So maybe mid- to late July. Then you have hearings beginning in August. And the idea is that the person, whoever it might be, will be able to sit in on the court that first Monday in October.
BARNES: You know, well, let’s turn to some of the names that have come up, and ones that are clearly on the president’s list of possibilities.
The first is Alberto Gonzales (search), who was his counsel at the White House, now his attorney general. You know, conservatives oppose him. I think they’re a little exaggerated in it. And Bush, as Senator John Cornyn (search ) told me, loves Gonzales. I don’t think he’s going to pick him, though.
WILLIAMS: I think he might pick him, and I tell you why. He’s young, he’s 49. I don’t, I think he’ll be 50 in August sometime.
This is a guy who, it seems to me, has the president’s trust, has a track record.
BARNES: Yes, yes.
WILLIAMS: He’s going to be attacked by Democrats especially on those torture memos, no doubt about it.
WILLIAMS: But I think lots of people like Alberto Gonzales and trust him.
BARNES: And he is Hispanic. And that’s not nothing.
WILLIAMS: That’s right.
BARNES: And Michael Luttig and Jay Wilkinson, both on the Fourth Circuit of Appeal, solid conservatives. You know, Luttig is the guy to watch, I think. Been on the court 14 years.
WILLIAMS: And only 51.
WILLIAMS: Again, we come back to this issue of age because the president wants someone who’s going to be there for a while and have influence. And there’s also the possibility, Fred, that replacing O’Connor, the first woman on the court, the president may go look for a woman, Edith Jones, Edith Clement, both on the Fifth Circuit.
WILLIAMS: Jones is a former general counsel of the GOP in Texas.
WILLIAMS: She has been reversed recently on a death penalty case in this court just last month.
WILLIAMS: But I think either of those would have a -- you know, I, Clement, I think, more than Jones will have a good time.
BARNES: Juan, you’re leaving out the name, the big name of a woman, Janice Rogers Brown.
WILLIAMS: Oh, Fred.
BARNES: Recently confirmed for the U.S. Court of Appeals here in Washington, one of the most impressive nominees I’ve ever seen.
WILLIAMS: Fred, if you want to see this town...
BARNES: And African American as well.
WILLIAMS: Fred if you want to see this town go ballistic try that name.
BARNES: All right. Who do you think will be the pick of President Bush? I think it, my best guess is Michael Luttig from the Fourth Circuit, a very solid conservative.
WILLIAMS: He is certainly a conservative, even more conservative than Wilkinson, arguably, especially when it comes to the Endangered Species Act. They recently had a big fight.
BARNES: So who do you think?
WILLIAMS: Well, I think it’s going to be Gonzales.
WILLIAMS: And I think, and I think that’s a choice that, you know, is not going to discomfort.
WILLIAMS: It’ll discomfort Democrats, but ultimately he’ll win.
BARNES: Now, if you were the president, who do you think he should choose?
WILLIAMS: I think Gonzales, because you know what?
WILLIAMS: If I’m also Karl Rove (search ), looking at the politics of having the first Hispanic on the court, it’s a just, you know, it’s a gimmick.
BARNES: Should be Janice Rogers Brown (search ), easily.

Material Mixed Technic
Room Dining Room
Period 2000 to 2009
Dimensions H 10 cm x Dm 81 cm
Product Code KCNV370
Very large Scandinavian art glass centerpiece by Ib Geertsen Measures: Diameter 81 cm, height ca. 10 cm made of compatible glass, 2005. Ib Geertsen (1919-2009) was a sculptor, painter, graphic artist, color architect. He worked with the concrete art, where the line, shape, color and movement are the content. Geertsens works are art historically linked to the concrete abstract painting that emerged in the late 1940s, which was a showdown with the COBRA movement and Nordic expressionism. They saw the geometry and the concrete painting as the most important elements of modern painting. It was objectivity and readability rather than mystery and emotion that were in focus. The painting, as such, should not necessarily imagine anything. Documentary was the main focus. Geertsen was self-taught, but gained great recognition and made major decorative works with strong color combinations in schools and institutions. He’s also widely known for his mobiles, self-moving works of art. Represented at many Danish art museums, including ARoS.

The group Day26 put there differences aside and reunited for a show at SOBS in NYC last night. All 5 original members (Que, Willie, Mike, Rob, and Brian) hit the stage to perform their hits for the packed crowd. If you recall the group first gained fame from the television show ‘Making the Band’ where jack of all trades Diddy hand picked the guys to be a part of history but tempers and disagreements lead to the groups breakup. At there reunion show Day26 promised their fans that they will be back with new music, and a tour this year. The guys stated they have all grown up and are very mature now, and they wont have anyone telling them what to do. Day26 serenaded the crowd with their fan favorite singles ‘Co star” and “Imma Put It on Her” the guys showed off there vocal talent by individually singing acappella for the crowd as well. Reunited Day26 seems to have great chemistry on the stage, they looked and sounded great and seem to be here to fill a void that R&B music is missing today. Are you excited for the Day26 reunion?

Can good nutrition and lifestyle changes help with Down Syndrome?
World Down Syndrome Day is celebrated annually on 21st March. The theme this year is ‘End the Stereotypes’, with the event aiming to advocate for the rights, inclusion and wellbeing of people with Down syndrome.
In support, this article will highlight the particular nutritional needs of those affected by Down syndrome. Around one in every thousand babies worldwide are born with Down’s.
Because of their risk of developing health issues, many people with Down’s have additional nutritional needs.
Digestive issues are common, including GERD, IBS and food sensitivities. Frequently, people with Downs suffer from poor absorption of nutrients, leading to deficiencies. Research suggests that the bacteria in their gut microbiome differ from those of people without the condition, and this difference correlates with the degree of cognitive impairment. Finally, coeliac disease is more prevalent in those with the condition, so a gluten-free diet may be recommended.
The immune system in Down’s is often compromised. This can not only increase the risk of picking up infections but may also lead to autoimmune diseases. This is when the immune system starts to attack the body’s own cells, and these conditions are more prevalent in Down syndrome. The immune system and the gut bacteria are closely linked. Supporting both will help to guard against metabolic syndrome and manage elevated inflammation, common in people affected by Down’s.
Because people with Down syndrome experience accelerated ageing and increased oxidative stress 1, antioxidants are particularly important. These protect DNA from the damaging effects of free radicals. Research has shown those with the condition tend to experience problems in methylating, a vital chemical process occurring in the body’s cells. This can contribute to degeneration of nerve cells earlier in life than usual.
Poor methylation means people with Down’s are not able to produce enough of certain antioxidants within the body, and they may be low in folate 2. Antioxidants found in brightly coloured fruits and vegetables can help make up this shortfall. Plenty of antioxidants may also help protect eyes from damage from free radicals.
Evidence suggests osteoporosis is more prevalent in those with Down syndrome. Therefore, it’s important to ensure that they are consuming sufficient calcium, magnesium, zinc, vitamin D and vitamin K. Many people with Down’s suffer from intolerance to dairy, meaning calcium is best obtained from non-dairy sources. These include sesame seeds (tahini is a good source) sardines with bones, leafy greens like kale and Bok choy, beans and tofu. Vitamin D is scarce in food, being mostly obtained from exposure to sunlight, so a supplement may be advisable, particularly during the winter. Weight-bearing exercises like walking and rebounding can be useful in maintaining bone health.
Finally, healthy fats are particularly important because they’re crucial for healthy brain neurones. They’re found in oily fish, nuts and seeds.
If you are caring for a person with Down Syndrome, or you have the condition yourself, we can support you on your journey.
Some people with Down syndrome struggle to make healthy nutritional choices. Others are especially sensitive to different textures and flavours, and prefer familiar foods. This can make dietary changes challenging without professional help.
Supporting gut health, especially the microbiome, will be particularly important, however every person with Down’s is an individual and therefore their nutritional needs are unique.

Read on to change your life! Enjoying a powerful story can switch the way your brain works
- Study finds that a story can change the way a brain works permanently
- Scientists said our favourite books create 'muscle memory' - meaning we may start to mimic a character's actions or life choices
Great novels really can change your life, according to scientists.
A study found that reading a powerful story changes the way your brain works – perhaps even permanently.
The scientists said that while we talk about a novel’s ability to transport readers into a character’s world, they found that the effect can be somewhat physical as well.
A study has found that reading a powerful story changes the way your brain works - perhaps permanently
Our favourite books, they claim, create ‘muscle memory’, meaning we may start to mimic a character’s actions or life choices.
Researchers at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, enlisted 21 students to read the novel Pompeii by bestselling author Robert Harris over 19 consecutive days while monitoring their brains.
The areas of the brain most affected were those which controlled the left temporal cortex which influences receptivity to language.
However it also heightened the function of the brain which links thoughts to actions, for example when someone thinks about running and they want to run.
The results published in journal Brain Connectivity showed that changes in brain functions stayed with the individuals for at least five days after they finished reading, with researchers suggesting they could last even longer.
Students read Robert Harris's novel Pompeii over 19 consecutive days while scientists monitored their brains
The world of literature is awash with books said to be lifechanging - from The Great Gatsby or War and Peace to One Hundred Years of Solitude and Catch 22.
Neuroscientist Gregory Berns said: 'Stories shape our lives and in some cases help define a person. We wanted to understand how stories get into your brain, and what they do to it.'
A powerful story has the ability to create a 'muscle memory' in the brain, the researchers added.
He said: 'The neural changes that we found associated with physical sensation and movement systems suggest reading a novel can transport you into the body of the protagonist.
'We already knew that good stories can put you in someone else's shoes in a figurative sense. Now we're seeing that something may also be happening biologically."
He added: 'It remains an open question how long these neural changes might last.
'But the fact that we're detecting them over a few days for a randomly assigned novel suggests that favourite novels could certainly have a bigger and longer-lasting effect on the biology of your brain.'

I was talking with a friend of mine earlier, and we both share a love of a very specific type of game that doesn’t really exist anymore, and we realized that we don’t actually have a name for that type of game, even though there are enough of them that it’s definitely at least like, a sub-genre.
This isn’t the first time I’ve had a conversation like this, so I thought it might be fun to come up with shorthand names for types of games that get grouped into relative “one of those” corrals in conversation. I don’t care about discerning between genres or sub-genres or whatever, but I feel like this is fertile ground for some insert credit-ass puns.
In this case, the type of game we were talking about are those mid-90s first-person mech-shooter dungeon-crawler hallway-labyrinth-'em-ups that were so prevalent on the 3DO and the early days of the Saturn and PlayStation, before more or less blinking out of existence. They’re kind of like much more rigid and simplified versions of King’s Field in a weird way. Genki (famous for the Shutokou battle series) made a bunch of ’em and they all more or less follow the same formula with a few twists between entries. Also almost all of them have comically long names that are different in every territory. Games like:
- Tetsujin/Iron Angel of the Apocalypse
- Tetsujin Returns/Iron Angel of the Apocalypse Returns
- Kileak: The Blood/Kileak: The DNA Imperative
- Kileak: The Blood 2: Reason In Madness/Epidemic
- Beltlogger 9/Brahma Force: Assault on Beltlogger 9
- Deadalus/Robotica/Cybernation Revolt
- Space Hulk: Vengeance of the Blood Angels
- Ghen War
Cause if you just say “first-person mech game” that brings to mind, for me anyway, Iron Soldier, a bunch of budget 32 bit Gundam games, Gungriffon, Starsiege, Extreme Power, Metal Jacket, etc.
We both drew a blank. Any ideas?


Michael Bisping had an interesting first meeting with the younger Diaz brother which happened all the way back in 2011.
The Diaz brothers are among some of the most popular fighters in MMA history. With a propensity to speak their minds, despite controversy and deliver some electrifying, no-nonsense performances in the cage, the Stockton pair have certainly made their mark on MMA. Bisping brought up the subject of his meeting with Nate Diaz on his “Believe You Me” podcast:
“The first time I met Nate Diaz, I was in Denver. There was a UFC event there and I was in for fight week doing some stuff. I was scheduled to fight Jason ‘Mayhem’ Miller, we were in Denver promoting the fight. I was in the elevator and Nick Diaz – sorry, Nate Diaz – walks in. I’m like ‘Hey Nate, how you doing’ and we shake hands briefly.
“No conversation, it was just one of those elevator rides, there was a few other people in there so everyone is standing there, kind of looking at the ceiling or whatever, waiting for the ride to pass. And then the doors open. Nate gets out, and just as the doors are shutting, he leans back in and goes ‘Oh, I forgot man. F—k Miller!’ and puts the two fingers up and walks off. And I just thought that was hilarious, it was great. I just thought ‘Okay, I like this guy. He’s cool.’“
Fans may or may not remember what is now labelled the infamous Strikeforce brawl in Nashville, Tennessee. Jason “Mayhem” Miller had entered the cage following the Diaz brothers’ teammate Jake Shields following his win over Dan Henderson. Nick and Nate, along with the rest of Shields’ crew, beat Miller inside the cage on national TV. This was only Strikeforce’s second event ever aired on CBS, and needless to say, the last.

International Dance Day was introduced in 1982 by the International Dance Committee of the International Theatre Institute (ITI), a UNESCO partner NGO, and is celebrated on April 29 every year. The date was suggested by the International Dance Committee of ITI to commemorate the birthday of Jean-Georges Noverre (1727-1810), creator of modern ballet and author of the famous Lettres sur la danse published in 1760 in Lyon
Every year, an outstanding choreographer or dancer is invited to deliver a message which is circulated throughout the world. The personality is selected by the founding entity of the International Dance Day – the International Dance Committee of ITI, which collaborates with World Dance Alliance, a Cooperating Member of ITI. Among many others, Merce Cunningham, Maurice Béjart, Akram Khan and Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker have delivered the message and/or participated in the celebration of International Dance Day at UNESCO.
The goal of the “International Dance Day Message” is to celebrate Dance, to revel in the universality of this art form, to cross all political, cultural and ethnic barriers and bring people together through the common language of Dance. Together with the World Dance Alliance, ITI and its Dance Committee celebrate International Dance Day at UNESCO in Paris and all over the world.

Spinocerebellar ataxia type 1 (SCA1) is a neurodegenerative disease caused by the expansion of a CAG repeat encoding a polyglutamine tract in Ataxin-1 (ATXN1). Both WT and mutant ATXN1 interact with 14-3-3 proteins, and 14-3-3 overexpression stabilizes ATXN1 levels in cells and increases ATXN1 toxicity in flies. To determine whether reducing 14-3-3 levels might mitigate SCA1 pathogenesis, we bred Sca1154Q/+ mice to mice lacking one allele of 14-3-3ε. 14-3-3ε haploinsufficiency rescued cerebellar pathology and motor phenotypes but, surprisingly, not weight loss, respiratory dysfunction, or premature lethality. Biochemical studies revealed that reducing 14-3-3ε levels exerted different effects intwo brain regions especially vulnerable in SCA1: Although diminishing levels of both WT and mutant ATXN1 in the cerebellum, 14-3-3ε haploinsufficiency did not alter ATXN1 levels in the brainstem. Furthermore, 14-3-3ε haploinsufficiency decreased the incorporation of expanded ATXN1 into its large toxic complexes in the cerebellum but not in the brainstem, and the distribution of ATXN1's small and large native complexes differed significantly between the two regions. These data suggest that distinct pathogenic mechanisms operate in different vulnerable brain regions, adding another level of complexity to SCA1 pathogenesis.

Originally published in 1996 by White Mane Publishing Company, this book is about the 600 Confederate officers whom the Federal government decided around 1864 to use in retaliation for Confederate mistreatment of Federal prisoners, especially officers.
In 1864, President Lincoln (at the urging of General Ulysses S. Grant) ended the exchange of prisoners program. Discontinuing this program created a great hardship on the Confederate government’s ability to house and care for their Federal prisoners; the problems at the infamous Andersonville prison camp were a stark example. Ending this exchange was a strategic decision by General Grant to pressure the Confederates into surrendering sooner, but the strategy harmed many of his own soldiers who were being held as prisoners as well as many Confederate prisoners, especially the 600 who were rounded up and used for purposes of retaliation, which would be illegal under today’s international laws.
Using the 600 officers to retaliate against the Confederacy was also an illegal action in the days of the Civil War. A major hurdle was that the Union did not recognize the Confederacy as a real sovereign country, so its prisoners were at first treated as outlaws. This gradually changed, but that one fact hampered prisoner exchange. Had there been two countries at war, there would have been no problems with exchange because of the recognition of each other as sovereign nations. This was not the case in the Civil War.
The 600 officers, who ranked from colonels to the lowest grade, were brought to Charleston Harbor in South Carolina and placed on Morris Island. The Union was attacking Charleston, trying to force a surrender. The Confederate military commander of Charleston was accused of using imprisoned Union officers to get the Union artillery to stop bombing the city. This is not true, though; the prisoners were only passing through and were kept from dangerous areas of Charleston and were later moved to a safer prison in the interior of the state. Part of the reason the Union sought to retaliate was in revenge for the prison conditions at Andersonville and the like.
The 600 became known as the “Immortal 600” and after the War formed a special organization. Most of those in the 600 who died did so due to malnutrition and abuse; very few were killed by their own artillery. Stillm this whole episode is a disgrace to the Union.
Mauriel P. Joslyn used various letters, diaries, and other primary sources to write this book, bringing it to a very personal level. She lets the actors in this episode tell the story, adding explanations and other information to supplement the quotes. There are several black and white photos and maps, including photos of some of the prisons in which the 600 were interred in; some of the 600 are also seen.
Several appendices are included as well. Appendix A is the contract of the prisoner exchange. Appendix D is a list of those of the 600 who died in prison. Appendix F is a list of the 600 officers. There are endnotes, a bibliography, and an index. On the dust jacket are some pictures of some of the 600.
Mauriel Phillips Joslyn received her B.A. in history from Mary Washington College, Fredericksburg, Virginia and an M.A. in history from Georgia College and State University, Milledgeville, Georgia. She has had a life long interest in the Civil War. She is the author of
A Meteor Shinning Brightly (2000) and Charlotte’s Boys: Civil War Letters of the Branch Family of Savannah (1997). She is the co-author of
Confederate Women (2004), Valor and Lace (1997), and of Truths of History (1997). She has also published several articles in
Gettysburg Magazine, United Daughters of the Confederacy Magazine,
Georgia Journal, Military Heritage, Irish Sword, and other journals. She is president of the Patrick Cleburne Society and a member of the Society of Civil War Historians, the Association of the Preservation of Civil War Sites, the Blue and Gray Education Association, the Georgia Historical Society, and other groups. Immortal Captives is recommended to those interested in the Immortal 600, Civil War prisons and prisoners of war, and retaliation during the Civil War.

Though we have heard rumors that iPads with OLED shows could possibly be coming subsequent yr, the trail for OLED shows to make it to the MacBook Professional is a bit of longer — attempt lower than three years from now, perhaps extra.
Ross Younger of Show Provide Chain Consultants spoke at a webinar sponsored by Bloomberg and offered perception into Apple’s skill to implement OLED in its MacBook Professional. He acknowledged that it’ll take a couple of years for Apple’s manufacturing companions to arrange manufacturing of laptop computer OLEDs. It’s believed that the MacBook Professional with an OLED show is not going to ship till 2026 or 2027, when will probably be outfitted with an M4 or M5 processor.
The present 14- and 16-inch MacBook Professionals use Mini-LED shows, which debuted with the M1 fashions in 2021. Switching to OLED will present higher energy effectivity, probably improve battery life, and supply higher colours and brightness. As with the iPhone, OLED shows produce darker blacks, higher distinction, and better brightness than LCD and LED shows. Many laptops have already got OLED shows, together with fashions from Dell, Acer, and Samsung.
Younger mentioned the iPad Professional might include OLED shows as quickly as subsequent yr, and the iPad Air and iPad mini might get the expertise in 2026. This traces up with different latest studies from Omdia and yeux1122’s weblog. Younger tracks the manufacturing and manufacturing technique of shows and has a historical past of correct reporting.

Abstract Share this page
Abstract OBJECTIVES: Examine factors associated with awareness and active utilisation of a community mobilisation intervention (CMI) to address HIV risk in female sex workers (FSWs) in a context characterised by multiple forms of sex work. DESIGN: Data came from two rounds, conducted in Spring 2006 and Spring 2007, of a serial cross-sectional survey of FSWs (n=812 in round 1, n=673 in round 2) recruited through respondent-driven sampling in Rajahmundry, Andhra Pradesh, India. METHODS: Descriptive statistics compared characteristics of programme aware and unaware FSWs and from among the aware, to characterise active program users. Multinomial logistic regression was used to assess factors associated with programme exposure. RESULTS: Between Rounds 1 and 2, programme awareness increased from 41.8\% to 69.6\% of respondents, and active utilisation (among those who were aware) increased from 49.2\% to 61.0\%. Street-based FSWs were under-represented and brothel-based FSWs overrepresented in both groups and rounds. Geographic proximity and literacy were associated with programme awareness but not utilisation. The most important factor associated with both forms of intervention exposure across rounds was willingness to be identified in public as a FSWs (OR 2.2-4.8). CONCLUSION: Public visibility is a critical component of CMIs. Such interventions should develop strategies for involving FSWs that allow them to remain invisible, while also working to reduce the threat associated with public visibility. In contexts where sex work occurs in multiple venues, it is important to develop CMIs that include and address the needs of FSWs working in them all.

Is the weekend here already? With Oscar in town, Cupid, complete with bow and arrow, has left the (cinema) building, as movies of the non-romantic kind come out to compete with last week’s charmers.

A Good Day to Die Hard and Escape from Planet Earth are covering the cinema ground for action-oriented adults and animated-loving kids, so what’s left for the rest of our players?
A few brave souls have stomped onto the movie turf this weekend, intent to leave their entertaining mark. Josh Hamilton and Keri Russell are living under terrifyingly Dark Skies, looking for the light at the end of the box-office tunnel. Dwayne Johnson, meanwhile, is the coolest Snitch in town, hoping to steal the stage from the crowd-pleasing Identity Thief.
Will our new films light up the box office landscape or quickly fade toward early DVD release?
No worries; because wherever our eclectic cast lands once the cash is counted, the stars are always shining at your local movie theater.

What if someone cheats at your game?
First thing to make sure is that the player was really cheating and it wasn’t an accident. There are no sure way to know that, so use your best judgment.
If the player is cheating the best option is to simply ask him to leave the game – I do not suggest a second chance under any circumstances . If you do decide the player was cheating, just ask him to leave.
If the cheat is a serious one, you can divide his money among the table. Don’t ever get yourself into a fight. Let everyone know about your house rules. You can even set house rule that the cheater’s money will go to the house – anything. But you have to let players know about it before the game.

Pedro and Pablo are not a typical pair of prairie dogs. The two like to burrow like their wild counterparts but they burrow in laundry baskets. They also like to scream ‘hello’ to their family, but they do it every morning when they see their human mom, Sarah.
Pablo and Pedro came to be her pets after they started off in the wrong hands. Their former owners got them as pets but didn’t know how to care for them and hadn’t realized just how much work the animals would be.
Sarah did some research and decided to adopt the pair, knowing that by then they were too familiar with humans to be reintroduced into the wild. The pair of prairie dogs have been a surprise to Sarah in many ways. She says they are the most affectionate animals she’s ever met.
Her family have jokingly nicknamed them the “productivity suckers” because they want to be around their humans all the time. Not only do they have to be near you, they have to be laying on you. And don’t even think of stopping petting them.
Every morning, Pedro and Pablo let out a “Yahoo” when they are let out of their cage. It’s their signature greeting and from there, they look forward to a day of adventure, cuddling and fun. Sarah, however, is quick to point out the animals are a lot of work and not for everybody.
Thankfully for Pedro and Pablo, they found a family who’s willing to put in the work and give them the most loving home!
Pedro and Pablo aren’t the only adorable pair of pet prairie dogs. Take a look at Swarley and Bing and their adventures!

Yes. The karate kid is a girl in the 2nd movie (at least I think it's the 2nd) The Next Karate Kid.
In Karate Kid 2010, Meiying plays the violin.

Jackie Chan was in the 2010 remake of Karate Kid with Jaden Smith
Below is a link to where you can watch the Karate Kid 2010 online for free.
its rated g
He is in the entire movie. he is the MAIN character
No, there are far worse films than this one. User ratings for the IMDb website are 7.2 out of 10.
Shijia Lü plays Liang in 2010's The Karate Kid.
yes he does some fighting in the movie Karate kid
Ralph Macchio plays Daniel Larusso in both Karate Kid and Karate Kid 2. The first movie is set in Long Beach. The second is set in Okinawa, Japan.
For the moment it looks like they are going to be making a karate kid 2 movie on 2013 but no-one knows for sure
As far as I know, Karate Kid- including the Adventure comics character, has nothing in the nature of a musical score. The only song I am aware of with a martial arts orientation was (Kung Fu Fighting) and that was not used, to my knowledge, in a movie.
