With Universal currently developing a new shared monster movie universe, now comes an update on what we can expect from the studio’s upcoming new take on Bride of Frankenstein.
David Koepp, best known for Jurassic Park and Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull, is the man tasked with writing this redo, and he’s now explained that this new Bride of Frankenstein will be brimming with social commentary and look at the concept of men trying to control women.
Speaking to Collider, Koepp explained, “It’s one of my favourite scripts I’ve written in years because if you reimagine the Frankenstein story, it gets into so many issues of men trying to feel dominant over women. To create someone who then says, ‘You don’t own me,’ it becomes a tale of liberation. It was great. It was really fun, and I hope it gets going soon because I think it’d make for a great movie.”
He then added, “How fun it is and how liberating it is narratively and stylistically to write a character who’s dead. She’s not a zombie. She’s a super-intelligent creature, but she’s dead, and that changes a person’s perspective.”
The original Bride of Frankenstein was released way back in 1935, seeing Henry Frankenstein pushed into creating a mate for his famed monster. At the last take, Universal was chasing Angelina Jolie to star in and direct this new interpretation of a longstanding classic.
This new Bride of Frankenstein will be part of a shared universe that began with the Luke Evans-starring Dracula Untold and will continue next March with the Tom Cruise-headlined The Mummy. As well as those films, the studio has Johnny Depp signed up to star in a new The Invisible Man, Javier Bardem is wanted to play the monster in a new Frankenstein, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is being sought to play The Wolf Man, and Russell Crowe, who has a mystery role in The Mummy, is believed to be Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde.
On making this Bride of Frankenstein effort exist in Universal’s shared monster realm, Koepp enthused, I was in touch with the other people who were making Mummy and in touch with Universal and getting a sense of what they’re doing, because they can’t be wholly different movies, but each one is characterized by the personality of its creature. So the stories are dictated by the creature. In ours, the Bride is essentially a sympathetic figure. This tragic, hunted figure. And obviously the Mummy is a very bad entity that must be stopped. That’s not us. The troublemakers are the ones who would try to control her. To answer your question, we’re all from the same tree, but different kinds of fruit.”

Malnutrition has detrimental effects on a child's physical growth (stunting); it can also result in irreversible damage to their brain and mental development, and it increases their risk to illness and death. The biggest impact of malnutrition is seen in the first 1,000 days of life of a child's life - from the time of conception to the time they reach their second birthday.
For women, malnutrition increases risk during pregnancy and the delivery of low birth weight babies. Malnutrition is a serious issue in Tanzania as shown by the following statistics:

Nintendo Super NES Classic Edition, which is launching this month on September 29, might be impossible to get, going by the history of Nintendo so far. The $80 worth console with 21 built-in games is an inexpensive, nostalgia-laced product that the company is producingin limited quantity, and it will be available only for a limited time.
When pre-orders went live for the console in August, it was a complete mess. First of all, it was a total lack of communication from Nintendo's end regarding the time and place of when the pre-orders would go live. The entire procedure led to dozens of frustrated consumers.
However, according to Reggie Fils-Aime, President, Nintendo America it was not Nintendo's fault that it the whole pre-order scenario was such a mess. Instead, Fils-Aime said it was "outside our control".
In an interview with the Financial Times, Fils-Aime also added that it wasn't a question of lacking supply, and he also urged potential customers not to turn to the auction sites and pay extra in order to purchase a Nintendo SNES Classic Edition.
"I would strongly urge you not to over-bid on an SNES Classic on any of the auction sites," he said. "You shouldn't pay more than $79.99."
Technically that's the amount of money one should shell out to buy the console, as the standard retail price for Nintendo's re-released Super NES Classic Edition is $80. However, as seen in case of NES Classic Edition re-release in 2016 and last month's SNES Classic Edition pre-order fiasco, it is more likely that the supply of the console will be limited in number, hence, customers will line up early and the initial units will be sold out within moments.
Invariably, fans will turn to those far more expensive bundles in order to get one SNES Classic along with a bunch of junk that no one otherwise cares to buy. But this time, Nintendo has promised to produce far more Super NES Classic Edition consoles than it did with last year's NES Classic Edition.
According to Business Insider, one Nintendo representative had stated in June, "We aren't providing specific numbers, but we will produce significantly more units of Super NES Classic Edition than we did of NES Classic Edition."
It remains to be seen how all these things turn out to be when this Nintendo Super NES Classic Edition finally goes on sale from September 29 for $80.

It may sound as useful as a solar-powered torch, but an aircraft fuelled by the sun has accomplished its first ever manned night flight. The aircraft, built by Swiss company Solar Impulse, also broke the records for highest altitude and longest duration for a piloted solar flight.
The craft took off at 6:51 local time yesterday morning from the Payerne airbase in Switzerland. André Borschberg, one of the cofounders of the project and the craft’s sole pilot, guided its gradual ascent during the day.
Its power was collected by 12,000 solar panels built into its 63-metre wingspan. During the hours of bright sun, batteries siphoned off some energy to power the plane through the night. Solar impulse has a top speed of 44 miles per hour.

Every day for much of June and July felt like a new journey. My new website was up and running and I looked forward to leading a series of summer art workshops I developed at the beautiful, historic Coutts Centre for Western Canadian Heritage near Nanton, Alberta. Along with a number of other Alberta plein-air artists I was invited to participate in an upcoming exhibition In the Open Air at the Leighton Art Centre. And, with a box of pastels, a painting chair and roadmaps I headed east across the Canadian Prairies, through northwestern Ontario, along the St. Lawrence River and down to southeastern New Brunswick and the Bay of Fundy.
I’ve always liked to say “you learn something new every five minutes”. While that may not literally be the case I believe that, if you choose a path less travelled, chances are good that down those roads you will make all sorts of interesting discoveries. Crossing Canada by car it is tempting to just trace the bold lines of the TransCanada Highway, thinking in terms of getting from point A to point B. I prefer to study roadmaps to look for alternatives, steering clear of the larger cities and instead winding my way through a large country dotted with small towns. When you stop for a few minutes in those small towns along the way the whole country seems friendlier.
Budgeting time to stop and paint during a long distance trip takes a bit of doing, but I find that less stressful driving goes hand in hand with finding a good spot to stop, walk around, engage the senses and perhaps get out the sketchbook or pastels. It helps that midsummer light remains well into the evening, extending the time available to explore. In the space of three days in early July I experienced three unforgettable moments during short walks, quite by chance: a turtle by a lake covering a nest of freshly-laid eggs with sand, two sandhill cranes walking along a trail in a forest, and a common merganser guarding its nest in a hollow of a large tree.
Sitting quietly and observing, I feel that the painter becomes part of a moving world in which all of nature is in motion. Clouds drift overhead, waves ripple to shore and shift sand and stones, trees sway, grasses bend in the wind. All of these are experienced, captured by my eyes and laid down on paper with pigment.
On this journey I began to understand much more about the landscapes I encountered. I felt I made deeper connections with the lakes and forests I experienced in northwestern Ontario and Algonquin Park. With practice I began to recognize the subtle shifts of colour and reflected light out over the Atlantic by the New Brunswick shore.
And along the way I met some kind, wonderful people and discovered that our journeys are shared in friendship going forward.

Join our Lenten Campaign 2024.
In the past 18 months, an estimated 250,000 migrants and asylum-seekers have arrived in the Miami area. The precarious legal status that they are often offered does not include authorization for employment. Miami Catholics are reaching out to help.
As read in Giovanna Dell’Orto’s article for Crux, “The influx is maxing out the migrant social safety net even in Miami’s faith communities, which are long accustomed to integrating those escaping political persecution, a lack of freedoms and a dearth of basic necessities.” Indeed, the city has a long story of receiving and lending a helping hand to those who are forced to flee their countries (Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans), at least since the 1960s. Miami Catholics have successfully integrated most of these migrants to already existing faith communities.
Miami’s faith leaders and their respective congregations, Dell’Orto explains, “remain steadfast in their mission to help settle new migrants.” But the need for help and assistance is becoming unmanageable and could even worsen if federal reforms providing these new migrants work permits are not pushed for.
Peter Routsis-Arroyo, the CEO of Catholic Charities in Miami, told Crux that “we can get a call on a Saturday that 30 migrants were dropped off, and two hours later all have been picked up […] But the challenge is at what point you reach saturation.”
Exiled Nicaraguan priests
The Archbishop of Miami, Thomas Wenski, spoke last week to the Florida Catholic regarding the expected arrival in Miami of some of the political prisoners that the Nicaraguan government “exiled” to the U.S. Most of these former political prisoners were either politicians or candidates running for public office, whom Ortega locked up before the elections.
Among them, the archbishop explained, were “four or five Nicaraguan priests, a couple of seminarians, a deacon, and an organist.”
Whereas the Nicaraguan exiles were supposed to be housed at first by Nicaraguan families already residing in the U.S., Archbishop Wenski said he was able to offer the priests and seminarians longer term housing at St. John Vianney College Seminary in Miami. “I’m offering them the hospitality of the seminary as well as the opportunity to get acclimated, acculturated and see what the next steps would be after that,” he said in declarations carried by the website of the Archdiocese of Miami.
Although the expectation is that many of the priests and seminarians would stay in Miami, “I’ve already heard from a few bishops [elsewhere in the US] who need Spanish-speaking priests who would be happy to help them out,” Archbishop Wenski said.

Madison County Circuit Judge Dennis Ruth will hear arguments on Friday for and against splitting off the plaintiffs in a suit over the effects of the drug Levaquin.
The defendants in the case, Johnson & Johnson, Ortho-McNeil Pharmaceutical Inc., Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceutical Research & Development LLC. and Walgreen Co., the owner of Walgreens stores, have asked Ruth to send the claims of plaintiffs Deborah Hildebrandt, Joyce Hoskins, Evelyn Webb, Marilyn Wolffe and Lenora Watson-London back to their home counties.
The defendants claim Madison County is an inconvenient forum. The defendants also allege the plaintiffs are improperly joined and should be split up.
Of the plaintiffs, only Hildebrandt is from Madison County, according to the complaint. The other plaintiffs are listed as citizens of Illinois.
The plaintiffs counter that although the plaintiffs have brought separate actions, their suits allege common questions of law. The plaintiffs further contend that removing the plaintiff's individual claims to their home counties would lead to duplication and more cases to try.
The Hildebrandt plaintiffs allege that Levaquin, an antibiotic aimed at lung and sinus conditions, caused tendon injuries and ruptures.
The plaintiffs claim that they were not made aware of that side effect of the drug and that they were injured.
They are suing on claims of strict liability, negligence, breach of implied warranty, breach of express warranty, common law fraud, and other claims.
The suit seeks unspecified compensatory damages, pre and post-judgment interest, and costs per each of its nine counts.
Hildebrandt's case is one of a series of suits filed over Levaquin in the last year.
Several more Levaquin suits were filed last week in Madison County alleging similar claims.
The case had been assigned to Madison County Circuit Judge Andy Matoesian.
The plaintiffs are represented by Corey Sullivan and Jeffrey Lowe of St. Louis.
All of the defendants but Walgreens are represented by Dan Ball of St. Louis.
The case is Madison case number 09-L-919.

What do you do with yourself after building a V10-powered E30? You do it all over again, this time with a slightly more exotic subject. This Lotus Exige gets stretched and widened in order to fit the M5-sourced 10-cylinder power-plant, culminating in a very sleek and capable supercar-fighter that gets put through it’s paces at the track.
I have this list of attainable vintage sports cars that I like to think I’ll be able to buy as mid-life crisis project, and the Lotus Europa is firmly planted on that list. Every time I see an article or post about these cars, I can’t help but read every word and obsess over every picture. But the owner of this particular Lotus, Serge, is no where near middle age. In fact he’s still a dental student, yet he’s attacking this restoration from the ground up all on his own. His Europa is a special one, being the oldest chassis in existenceÂ (Chassis number 2 – #460002) that he’s slowly restoring back to as-new condition. Serge not only documents the whole process on his blog, but also starts a YouTube channel with periodic videos of the work he does. These videos are some of the most informative that I’ve ever seen, he really goes into full detail about what he’s doing, how he’s doing it, and why he’s doing it.

Colin Chapman, James Bond, Formula 1, Pretty Woman. These are some of things that you might associate with the word “Lotus”. But what about air ride, engine swaps, wide wheels and interior re-trims? I’ve mentioned before how much I love seeing once pampered classics being torn down and fettled with as they become more affordable, and these three examples truly embody the guiltless “modify everything regardless of the badge” train of thought. You might not agree with some of the styles of modification, but I’m not here to convince you one way or another, I just like seeing people modify cars, especially cars that are rarely messed with.
All three builds reside together on the Retro Rides forums, and whilst enjoying their threads individually, I thought they’d make a great combined post to showcase how these vintage British sports cars are being re-imagined by the DIY crowd. I’ve added some captions to the images to make it easier to follow, I hope you enjoy.

Bruce not only built a very cool MX5 along with a number of other awesome rides, but he also spearheads and bankrolls a communal garage space known as Area52. You should already know what type of guy he is (a die-hard car nut), so it’s no surprise to learn his hands have been less than idle since the last time he graced these pages. I thought I’d do a little ‘catch up’ piece on his latest projects (a Land Rover and a Lotus, can’t get more variance than that!), since I’m enjoying reading them so much myself, it’s only fair to share it with all of you…
I read a post the owner of this car made on Jalopnik, then did some digging around to locate the build thread.
Wikipedia defines a Locost as “a home-built clone of the Lotus Seven. The car features a space frame chassis usually welded together from mild steel 1Â Ã—Â 1Â in (25Â Ã—Â 25Â mm) square tubing. Front suspension is usually double wishbone with coil overs. The rear is traditionally live axle, but has many variants including independent rear suspension or De Dion tube. Body panels are usually fiberglass nose and wings and aluminium side panels. Each car is highly individualized according to the resources, needs and desires of each respective builder.”
This particular Locost build is based more on the style an Arial Atom, but the similarities end at appearances, because it will be powered by a rear mounted Hayabusa engine. The owner has been corresponding via email with the builder of the car, a talented man they call Pook. Firstly they swapped sketches and ideas, and now they discuss changes and updates as the custom creation is being fabricated. Amazingly enough, the two have never met in real life.
Justin Fox, the founder of JDM Style Tuning, a forum that I frequent daily, has teamed up with his partner, Christina, to create a new forum for Australian Volkswagen Golf owners (which I also now frequent daily!). VWGolf.net.au is only in its infancy yet it boasts over 200 members and a quartet of forum sponsors. Justin submitted a build to me that I wouldn’t expect to see on a Golf forum, this delectable carbon fibre Lotus.

A car crash can cause many types of injury. If you where discharged from the ER without any fractures or specific injuries requiring surgery, but you are having pain—you may have soft-tissue damage. Your muscles and connective tissues (ligaments, tendons, etc.) get jerked and strained in an accident. This causes damage. The pain from these injuries can start immediately after your wreck, or set in over the following days. If you are having ANY pain since your accident, it is a good idea to be seen by an acupuncture doctor for an evaluation. Soft-tissue injuries usually respond well to acupuncture.

In recognition of National Tire Safety Week, which extends from May 29 to June 4, Nissan is reminding drivers of the significant role that tires play in keeping them safe on the road.
Research conducted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration indicates that a tire that’s 25% below its recommended pressure is almost three times more likely to be involved in a tire-related crash than a properly inflated tire. Low tire inflation also costs money over the long term in reduced fuel economy and premature tire wear.
Nissan offers the following tire care and maintenance tips:
- Inspect visually. Regularly look for visual signs of potential tire issues, which may include under-inflation, damage, or uneven wear. Inspect tires before a long trip to help avoid unnecessary delays or expenses.
- Know your target. Find and adhere to the manufacturer’s recommended tire pressure, which is located in the vehicle’s driver-side door jamb.
- Be temperature-conscious. Tire pressures fluctuate with temperature changes. Check pressures when tires are cold (in the morning) at least once a month and following significant changes in temperature. Use an easy-to-read digital gauge for accuracy. (A digital readout is displayed in the center cluster of many Nissan models.)
- Rotate and balance. Achieve maximum life and performance from tires by rotating them every 5,000-7,000 miles. Also, balance tires periodically to help minimize uneven wear and extend tread life.
- Don’t overload. Avoid loading tires past their recommended rating. Excessive weight can weaken tires and potentially lead to blowouts.
- Avoid obstructions. Steer clear of large potholes, curbs, or other objects when possible to avoid potential tire damage.

Curbing urban sprawl by promoting greater density, improving public transit, and preserving farmland are critical to protecting the Greater Golden Horseshoe, says former Toronto mayor David Crombie.
In a sweeping 177-page report to the provincial government that makes 87 land-use recommendations, Crombie urged Queen’s Park to expand the 800,000 acre Greenbelt on the outskirts of the Greater Toronto Area.
“It is essential the province acts quickly in order to ensure the brightest future for everyone who lives and works in the region,” he told reporters Monday, adding it is “an historic opportunity” for Ontario.
“We’re all energized.”
Crombie’s panel, which examined Greenbelt Plan, the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan, the Niagara Escarpment Plan and the Greater Golden Horseshoe growth plan, said the Greenbelt must be strengthened and increased in size to tackle the “risk of ‘leapfrog’ development in areas … such as Simcoe and Brant Counties.”
The Greater Golden Horseshoe, which encompasses the vast swath around the GTA from Niagara Falls to Brantford to Kitchener-Waterloo to Orillia to Peterborough to Brighton, is “Canada’s largest economic engine,” said Municipal Affairs and Housing Minister Ted McMeekin.
“I’m very excited about the recommendations,” said McMeekin, adding Crombie’s findings will help shape new land-use legislation expected next spring.
Queen’s Park estimates the region will grow from about 9 million people today to around 13.5 million by 2041 – a 50 per cent increase in a quarter century.
But Southern Ontario’s traditional way of handling such rapid growth — building sprawling subdivisions along highways — is no longer sustainable for many reasons.
“Ultimately, the amount of land needed to accommodate expected growth to 2041 will depend on the rate of intensification (infill in existing urban areas) and the density of new development in each municipality,” the report said.
“Fortunately, land consumption rates are decreasing, reflecting a trend towards building more compact communities.”
Crombie noted that while the region only contains 3.5 per cent of the province’s land area, it contains 42 per cent of the province’s best farmland, including the Niagara tender fruit and grape area and the Holland Marsh.
Burkhard Mausberg, chief executive of the Friends of the Greenbelt Foundation, said the report makes “thoughtful recommendations to strengthen the agriculture sector at a time when farmland is under increasing pressure from development.”
“Recent data shows that three quarters of the GTA’s most-productive farmland is under threat of being swallowed up by unsustainable growth,” said Mausberg.
Tim Gray, executive director of Environmental Defence, hailed the Crombie panel’s call for “greater urban densities that limit sprawl and enable better transit is a clear, smart solution.”
“It sets the stage for the province to provide transit funding incentives that are contingent on growing more compactly and for Ontario to clarify to communities that land cannot be removed from the Greenbelt to ensure sprawl is slowed and stopped.”
Premier Kathleen Wynne has already promised $31.5 billion in new transit and transportation infrastructure over the next decade with about half of that earmarked for the GTA.

“Fear is the path to the dark side…fear leads to anger…anger leads to hate…hate leads to suffering.” ~ Yoda, The Phantom Menace
I spent the first 18 years of my life growing up in Canada.
I would come home after school from walking in the icy snow, quickly grab a mug of hot chocolate, and the first thing I would do is turn on the TV to watch American television. As I flipped through the channels while curled up on my couch, I would long to be an American, while I watched shows like Bevery Hills 90210 and Oprah.
I longed to be part of a community that had so much spirit, so much spunk and so much passion.
While I stared at the TV screen listening to the actors pronounce words like owt instead of out and mom instead of mum, I vowed that I would one day move to America—the land of the free, the home of the brave.
When I graduated from high school, I made that dream become a reality and I met an American man. I felt like my destiny was being fulfilled when I moved to California and was finally so close to all those dreams I had thought about as a young child.
Unfortunately, my “American Dream” was halted almost immediately after we got married. I had developed a bladder infection that was getting worse and worse. I wanted to go to the doctor, but I didn’t have medical insurance. I prayed it would go away. It didn’t. I remember waking up one morning in a small town at the base of the Sierra Nevada mountains where I was living and I had such severe pain running up my back, that I was worried I would have to be hospitalized, which I couldn’t afford. I had never felt this kind of fear for my life ever growing up in Canada. If I felt sick, my parents wouldn’t hesitate to take me to the hospital.
I felt so desperate.
I wanted to be rescued.
I finally went to the doctor and paid $200 cash to be seen at Urgent Care. It was money I didn’t have to spend. Luckily, antibiotics saved me from getting even sicker, but the whole experience made me feel so uneasy as I tried to settle into my new American existence. I felt like the rug could be pulled out from under me at any time. The saddest part was knowing that it wasn’t all in my head. I was now living in a country that didn’t take care of it’s people.
Three years ago I moved back home to Canada and I have noticed my anxiety level decrease significantly. There is less crime here. My daughter and I have full medical insurance, and there is support from government programs when you need them. I’m safe now. I have more mental peace than all of the years I lived in the U.S., where crime is more prevalent and life is harder.
I know I am not the only person who has lived in the U.S. who has felt this fear and this longing to be saved. When people want to be rescued, they do things they may not normally do.
The great historian Ian Kershaw wrote a book called, Hitler.
He said that:
“Without the changed conditions, the product of a lost war, a revolution and a pervasive sense of national humiliation, Hitler would have remained a nobody. His main ability by far, as he came to realise during the course of 1919, was that in the prevailing circumstances he could inspire an audience which shared his basic political feelings, by the way he spoke, by the force of his rhetoric, by the very power of his prejudice, by the conviction he conveyed that there was a way out of Germany’s plight.”
The real reason Trump got elected is because people are scared. He has offered solutions to people that are tired of being afraid…tired of suffering.
And I don’t blame them.
But the tough thing is…fear doesn’t solve fear. Here are three ways that we can transform the culture of fear:
“Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all the darkness.” ~ Desmond Tutu
The darkest time of the day is always right before the sun rises. We can still chose to see and look for the coming light, even when it feels dark. Hope is a powerful force of nature. It is essential to find wholeness and happiness. Let’s decide to choose hope and choose to see the light, even though to many the election results have brought a feeling of darkness.
In one of my favourite sacred texts there is a verse that says,
“There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.” ~ I John 4:18
Fear can not triumph where there is love. Love trumps fear. When we make a decision to live a life of love even when fear surrounds us, the love will drive out the fear.
- Encourage Critical Thinking by Helping to meet one Another’s Needs
Abraham Maslow was an American psychologist who noticed that people are motivated by getting their needs met. He created a Hierarchy of Needs and noted that it is near impossible to jump to the next level until the first level is met.
Here are the five levels of needs:
- Biological and Physiological needs—air, food, drink, shelter, warmth, sex, sleep.
- Safety needs—protection from elements, security, order, law, stability, freedom from fear.
- Love and belongingness needs—friendship, intimacy, trust and acceptance, receiving and giving affection and love. Affiliating, being part of a group (family, friends, work).
- Esteem needs—achievement, mastery, independence, status, dominance, prestige, self-respect, respect from others.
- Self-Actualization needs—realizing personal potential, self-fulfillment, seeking personal growth and peak experiences.
If we consider that the the majority of Americans today are nowhere near having their Level 1 or Level 2 needs met, it’s no small wonder that critical thinking has been near impossible and fear dominates people’s motivations. In order to have a critically thinking culture that is free of fear, all people’s basic needs must be met so they can move up towards Level 3, 4 and 5.
You have a long road ahead of you America, but I believe with everything in me you can transform your culture of fear, into a culture of love.
I will be praying for you from across the border. You have been good to me and in many ways, made me the strong woman I am today. I have faith in you. I believe with hope, love and a commitment to helping each other’s needs get met, you will be the country I once dreamed of all those years ago when I watched you on TV after got home from school in chilly Canada.

NWSB Editor and Insider Chris Anderson talks about the Portland Timbers and the Cascadia Cup. The Timbers must win this game, they cannot settle for a draw. Though a draw would give them nine points in the cup chase to tie the Sounders, the drubbing they received in Seattle was enough to give the Sounders an advantage in goal differential over the Timbers.

‘Health Promotion’ is rapidly establishing itself as an important force within the ‘New
Public Health’, itself an important feature of contemporary approaches to health and
health care provision. Whilst debates have raged around definitions of health promotion
and the differences between health promotion and health education, there has been little
concern for the nature of the knowledge base being drawn upon by health promoters and
researchers discussing such topics.
I would like to start by saying how pleased I am that Health Promotion in
Midwifery has reached a second edition, the first having been more popular than my
editors at Arnold or I had ever dreamed possible. The development of the principles
and practices laid out in this second edition will enable midwives and other health
professionals to keep health promotion at the forefront of their midwifery practice.
The popularity of this, and other publications, demonstrates that midwifery and
health promotion are very comfortable partners in the minds and hearts of
In this opening chapter, we outline some of the most influential (and
most contested) definitions of health, and approaches to health promotion.
Although some success has been claimed for health promotion interventions,
in general the results to date have been modest: for example, safer
sex campaigns in preventing HIV infection among gay men. In other areas
efforts have been remarkably disappointing, notably in preventing smoking
uptake among adolescents. ‘Health promotion’ is a term which has
been applied to a very wide range of activities performed in many and
During the last few decades inordinate attention has been paid to the
promotion of ‘healthy’ living. This has come from governmental, academic,
commercial and popular sources. Few people today can be unaware of the
espoused merits of such a lifestyle. Anyone who has visited a supermarket
recently, turned on the television, listened to the radio or read a magazine
must have noticed that awareness of health issues is growing. Health is clearly
a topical issue at both political and cultural levels....
If you have ever been asked by a client, family member, student, or policy maker, if
there is more to treatment for mental illness than just symptom reduction, this book is
for you. This question fi rst emerges from the idea that the pursuit of health is a common,
human goal, intrinsic to all individuals in all societies. This is not a new phenomenon.
However, there are certain groups who suffer greatly from the dual challenge of physical
illness and mental health conditions. In their case, health has been less of a goal and
more of a byproduct following treatment for distressing symptoms.
These guidelines have been developed to help ensure that, in all research sponsored by the
Aboriginal Women’s Health Research Program, appropriate respect is given to the cultures,
languages, knowledge and values of Aboriginal peoples’ legitimate knowledge.
These guidelines represent the standard of best practice adopted by the Saskatoon Aboriginal
Women’s Health Research Advisory Committee.

This book highlights the needs and healthcare concerns of women in their mid
life.Women in middle age are often overlooked by medical practitioners. From
the end of childbearing to old age, approximately ages 40–65 years, their health
needs are complex and changing. This is a time of challenge and opportunity,
when the physician and woman working collaboratively can change her health
and future. Mid-life healthcare is far more than hormones.
The Member States in the WHO European Region met at the WHO European Ministerial
Conference on Mental Health in Helsinki in January 2005 to tackle one of
the major threats to the well-being of Europeans: the epidemic of psychosocial distress
and mental ill health. Thanks to the long-term investment and work of many actors
in many fora, it is now possible to state that mental health no longer belongs to the
area of shameful and unspeakable things. Instead, it has been brought to the centre of
the public health policy arena....
The study of psychological processes in physical activity and health has grown
considerably in recent years. “Exercise psychologists” study the psychological antecedents
of physical activity and use their theoretical perspectives to inform the design and implementation
of interventions to change sedentary lifestyles. In addition, involvement in
physical activity can have important psychological benefits. Although we have known
this for a very long time, it is only relatively recently that a systematic approach has been
adopted to the accumulation of evidence.

Some institutions do not provide public access to all their materials because they deal with
specific procedures and situations that require a health professional’s assistance for correct
use. For example, instructions for post-surgery wound care might be given to a patient for
home use after a health professional guides them through the process. Institutions and
providers fear liability and potential misinterpretation of materials. Materials may have a
disclaimer saying this is not meant for self-diagnosis, please consult your doctor.
Although poor mental health has often been correlated with poor
educational attainment and/or dropping out of education, there
have been few longitudinal studies on this subject. In this paper,
we investigate this issue using a recent longitudinal study of young
people in England. England is a very interesting country to under-
take such an investigation because both poor mental health and a
high drop-out rate of young people are known to be important by
Our study panel began deliberations with significantly divergent
views on the meaning of the concept of “psychological consequences”

In his later years my father often expressed to me his desire for the reduction of the eleven volumes of his
"Papers on Health" to a compact one-volume edition; but as long as fresh papers were being written, he saw

circumstances have prevented the work being undertaken until the present time.

Are Fans of Big Market Teams Annoyed At the Money-Losing Teams?

Unpopular opinion I think, but I think it's probably the rich franchises holding things up. The failing franchises just want to make money, be it by cutting costs or by better revenue sharing. Better revenue sharing is in everyone's best interest except the richest teams, whereas cost cutting benefits all club owners and hurts the players. Seeing as the poor teams probably don't care where the extra $$$ come from, it's easier to side with their peers (owners) than players, and fight that battle on a united front.
I've thought from the beginning this is a battle of rich team vs. poor team, and the players are sort of caught in the middle. The nature of the CBA is league vs. labor, so it's always presented as a players vs. owners issue, when I don't think that's necessarily true. I hesitate to call the players 'victims' here, but they didn't go looking for a fight.
That said, the players should realize that there are struggling clubs and that while that's not really their fault (the players) it is in their best interest long term to see all clubs doing well, and that taking a percentage cut now can benefit them long term if overall growth continues. whether true or not, when a club like the Blackhawks say they're still losing money, everyone should take notice as they're in the midst of a record consecutive sellout streak. We can argue until the end of time about which clubs are legitimately losing money and which are flat out liars, but there are franchises out there that ARE losing money.... when was the last times players lost money? I'm pretty sure the answer is never... owners assume all the risk and while its not the players responsibility to assume that risk, they should realize that when a franchise fails the cost to them is that 1/30th of players will lose their jobs... and that is the risk the players assume by not coming down from 57%
The reality is that both sides need to compromise.... rich teams need to share revenue better, but players also need to come down from 57% so that rich teams aren't crippled by a system that shares revenue effectively... it's the rich teams that are responsible for so much revenue generation, so to penalize them is to shoot yourself in the foot, no matter which side you're on.

HYDERABAD: Noted expert on Asian Architecture Professor Adam Hardy
of Cardiff University
who has been studying Indian temples visited Devunigutta in Jayashankar Bhupalapally district which is located in the jungle-like Angkor Wat
temple in Cambodia.
"It is a unique temple with a rare architecture with full of imagery and a depiction of heavenly vision with sculptures. Though the local historians claimed that temple’s architecture resembles that of Angkor Wat. Devunigutta temple is located in the jungle like that of Angkor Wat. But the architecture doesn’t resemble of it. I believe that this temple was built around 6th century much ahead of Angkor Wat,” Professor Hardy told TOI.
Telangana historians who discovered the temple earlier said that it is Buddhist Vajrayana temple and has striking resemblances like Angkor Wat Temple.
The temple has Buddhist arama, also called chaityalaya dating back to 6th century. The 24-foot high Buddhist shrine was sculpted in stone like the Cambodian temple.
Local villagers installed a Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy statue and started worshipping it.
Professor Hardy said, ”It is an architectural wonder of Pre Dravida period. The temple has multistoried imagery and there are pavilions at the corner. It has rich sculptures. It has to be preserved. Though visitors are allowed it has to be protected by doing a balancing act. The stones are grainy and they look special. Geologists have to analyse the stone."
Professor Hardy has been working on the architecture of Indian temple for the past 40 years. “I have come to Hyderabad previously. But for the first time, I am visiting Warangal.”
Aravind Arya Pakide who accompanies the professor said, ”The temple belongs to sixth or seventh century. The architecture is unusual.” Making sense of 2019 #ElectionswithtimesView Full Coverage

Goodbye Denver and Hello Custer
1. After a long day of mountain climbing, we went to the Trail Dust Steak House for dinner. It was an interesting experience - live band, dancing, a two-story slide for the kids, biker gangs, and servers cutting people's ties off.
2. Saw a bunny!
3. Left Denver and drove north through Wyoming. The landscape went from flat in northern Colorado to hilly and green in Wyoming. We ended up in the Black Hills National Forest in South Dakota, so the landscape changed a lot through the course of our day.
4. In Wyoming, I drove through a speed trap in Lusk (watch out if you are driving that way!), saw tumbleweeds and mystery fences.
5. Made it to Custer, South Dakota. Ate a late lunch (because there were no restaurants in Lusk! That's why we sped out of there!) at Cattleman's. T had a beer in a boot, and I had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich (I don't normally order those out, but it was on the regular menu!).

Qantas’ Sydney Jet Base hosted a Qantas Group fleet review on the weekend to showcase Jetstar’s new Boeing 787-8. An all Boeing affair, on display were 717 VH-NXG, 737-800 VH-XZB, 747-400 VH-OJM, 767-300ER VH-OGG, and 787-8 VH-VKA, with unprecedented access to explore the aircraft.
The 747 and 787 were parked in Hangar 416, which can hold two B747 sized aircraft parked at a 45 degree angle to each other. Visitors were given the chance to compare the leap in engine technology with the cowlings on the B747-400’s Rolls Royce RB211-524G and a General Electric GEnx engine on the 787 open for inspection.
Located at the north-eastern end of Sydney Airport, the Arthur Baird Jet Base – Baird was one of the original founders of Qantas and its first engineer – contains five aircraft hangars – 96, 191, 245, 271, 416 – built to accommodate aircraft from the group’s Bombardier Q200s to the A380. Supporting the Group’s engineering operation is an off-airport parts supply system from which a component can be picked, packed and delivered to the Jet Base or Qantas Domestic terminal within 6 minutes, ensuring engineering delays to aircraft are minimised.
Hangar 96 is Qantas’ A380 capable hangar, which allows a single A380 or two B747-400s to be positioned side by side. The upgraded hangar was opened in 2007, after work was completed to increase the opening width of the hangar doors to accommodate the A380’s wingspan, while modification work also included raising and modifying part of the roof, installing additional foam deluge fire systems under the wing positions and pits and trenches in the floor to provide services connections to the underside of the fuselage.
Qantas’ other heavy maintenance and engineering bases are located at Avalon (B747), Brisbane (A330, B737, B767,) and Tamworth (Bombardier Dash-8s).
Special thanks to Qantas for an excellent day.

HAMPTON ROADS, Va. (WAVY) — A warming pattern hitting the Hampton Roads region is starting to thaw out snow and ice left behind by a winter storm.
Road conditions were improving somewhat — as temperatures finally got above freezing Monday — but remained treacherous in other parts of the area. The dangerous driving conditions led to most local public school districts announcing they would be closed again Tuesday, January 9 and late Tuesday afternoon, 10 On Your Side started hearing from a few school districts that will be closed again Wednesday. For these students, this makes a full week of snow days.
Elizabeth City-Pasquotank Public Schools were initially on a 2-hour delay for Wednesday, but announced schools would be closed early in the morning.
Schools have been closed since a winter storm brought bitter cold temperatures and heavy snowfall to the region last Wednesday and Thursday. The snowfall left many neighborhoods and surrounding side-streets snowed-in.
10 On Your Side’s Lex Gray and photographer Larry Carney surveyed conditions along several secondary roads in Norfolk and Virginia Beach.
Even some of the major roads in Norfolk — like Virginia Beach Boulevard and Military Highway — remained a little dicey for drivers. In some cases on the Southside, roads would have clean and decent stretches before another icy, bumpy patch.
10 On Your Side’s Jason Marks talked to some residents in the Virginia Beach neighborhood of Salem Woods that are working to shovel themselves out.
“You just have put your back into a little bit,” resident Cyrus Jones said as he shoveled more snow. It wasn’t the way Jones envisioned spending his winter break from college.
Jones was clearing a path so his mom has a place to park. Their neighborhood, like many, have been covered in ice since the storm.
Crews have been working around the clock to get them clear. Drew Lankford, Public Works spokesman said they went through more than 6,000 tons of sand and salt. Another 2,000 more tons of salt are expected to be delivered Tuesday.
Lankford says the public works has spent almost $250,000 on the storm. The job is still not done, but the good news the temperature are rising.
Clearer conditions were seen on parts of Battlefield Boulevard in Chesapeake.
On the Peninsula, main roads were largely clear in Hampton. A steady flow of traffic was seen early Monday on West Mercury Boulevard near Interstate 64.
However, just a couple of steps off West Mercury showed a major difference in the conditions of the primary and secondary roads. A lot of ice and snow still covered the residential roads.
“My car has four wheel driver so I’ve been able to get in and out without any problem,” Hampton resident Eric Murrary said. “Other people have been having problems, people keep getting stuck on my block.”
Across the Peninsula, neighborhood roads remained treacherous. Both Hampton and Newport News schools cancelled school for Tuesday. The big break in the snow problems won’t come until temperatures melt all the snow.
“The roads are doing pretty good, but the weather is gonna change so it’s looking better all the time,” newport News resident Mike Boswell said.
Residents on Sunday expressed concerns about the roads and overnight freezing temperatures.
“The main roads were fine. It was the side roads that are really bad, like going in and out of our neighborhood, but the main roads are fine. If you take your time, you should be fine,” Hampton resident Sonya Howard said.
The good news for residents is temperatures for the week will finally get above the freezing mark. The warmer temperatures — as well as some rain — will likely lead to more freezing over the course of the week.
Before that time, there will be one last arctic blast to deal with in the aftermath of the storm. Record temperatures were seen in Norfolk early on Monday.

Save the date. On February 13, 2019, an Israeli-built unmanned spacecraft is expected to land on the moon, having blasted off from Earth two months earlier, project managers said at a news conference Tuesday.
If all goes well, the SpaceIL spider-like craft will give Israel entry into the exclusive club of just three nations that have so far achieved a controlled landing on the moon’s surface.
The probe will be launched sometime in December from Cape Canaveral aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, officials said during the media event, held at an Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) space technology site in Yehud. It is scheduled to land on February 13, 2019.

Last Christmas my favorite gifts were a MISTI and this stamp called “Snowy Postcard” from Stampendous. I love how quickly I can create a stunning card with this stamp. Stamped the image on denim blue and white cardstock. Also stamped the holly portion on scraps of dusky green. Colored the images with chalks and Tombow markers, then finished the card with a dusting of polar white Flowersoft mixed with clear glitter. The sentiment is from Beccy's Place digi set, Seasonal Windows.

Seems like I never have enough masculine cards. So made this card with a Biblical Impressions stamp named Buck in the Forest (now available through www.stamponit.net) I've had the wood mount stamp for some time but seldom used it as I always have a hard time getting a good image with large stamps. After I got my MISTI, I removed the image from the wood and used an EZ Mount Foam Sheet (also available for sale through www.stamponit.net) that allowed me to use it with my MISTI. The hoof print is an old wood mount from Darcies. I didn't put a sentiment on it as I'll do that when I need to use it.
QKR Stampede- Anything Goes (qkrstampede.blogspot.com)
Another entry for the current challenge at AAA Stamps! This one is dedicated to my favorite Christmas movie- Elf! Was fun to make his little green hat, complete with a feather made from a tiny scrap of red cardstock (I love my new EK Cutter Bee scissors). And of course, I had to hand cut some snowflakes. If you've seen the movie you will know why. Elf was a snowflake guru. (Once again, my new scissors helped to make these dainty beauties. Just put "snowflake templates" in the search bar on Pinterest and you'll find lots of patterns, both simple to super detailed.) The sentiment is a bit hard to see in the photo. It says, "The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear."

Heinz Knoke was one of the outstanding German fighter pilots of the Second World War. This vivid first-hand record of his experiences has become a classic among aviation memoirs and is a fascinating counterbalance to the numerous accounts written by Allied pilots.
Knoke joined the Luftwaffe on the outbreak of war, and eventually became commanding officer of a fighter wing. An outstandingly brave and skilful fighter, he logged over two thousand flights and shot down fifty-two enemy aircraft. He had flown over four hundred operational missions before being wounded in an astonishing 'last stand' towards the end of the war. He was awarded the Knight's Cross for his achievements.
In a text that reveals his intense patriotism and discipline, he describes being brought up in the strict Prussian tradition, the rise of the Nazi regime and his own wartime career set against a fascinating study of everyday life in the Luftwaffe. He also reveals the high morale of the force until its disintegration.
His memoirs are both a valuable contribution to aviation literature and a moving human story.

Humanists UK has called for an end to automatic places for bishops in the House of Lords in its response to the UK Parliament’s Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee’s inquiry into membership of the Lords.
In its submission, Humanists UK endorsed the recommendations of the All-Party Parliamentary Humanist Group (APPHG)’s publication Time for Reflection which proposes the automatic right of bishops to sit in the House of Lords is removed, and states the Lords’ appointments process should be amended to avoid the custom of awarding peerages to individuals on the basis of being representatives of any religion or denomination, including former archbishops.
Currently, 26 Church of England bishops have the automatic right to sit, speak, and vote in the House of Lords. The bishops represent one denomination of one religion and one part of the UK at that. They enjoy privileges over and above other peers including special consultation privileges prior to legislation being brought before Parliament, privileged speaking rights in the chamber (if a bishop stands to speak, all others are expected to shut up and sit down), and exemptions from the Code of Conduct.
Humanists UK stated that this set up is particularly hard to justify in today’s plural and diverse society, especially when considering just 12% of the population identify as Anglican and just 1% of 16-24 year olds. More than that, it shows that the share of non-religious people will continue to rise over the coming decades, with some 68% of 18-24 year olds saying they belong to no religion. The bishops also fail to represent the views of the Anglicans they seek to represent on subjects such as same-sex marriage and assisted dying.
Earlier this year, Chair of the APPHG Tommy Sheppard MP called a debate on bishops in the Lords which saw cross-party MPs call for an end to the automatic right for bishops to sit in the House of Lords.
Humanists UK Director of Public Affairs and Policy Richy Thompson commented:
‘Automatic places for one particular branch of one particular religion has no place in today’s modern and diverse society. Everyone should have the same opportunity to gain a seat in our Parliament regardless of their religion or belief.
‘We urge the inquiry to listen to our recommendations and back an end to the automatic right for bishops to sit in the Lords. It’s time for change.’
For further comment or information, media should contact Humanists UK Director of Public Affairs and Policy Richy Thompson at firstname.lastname@example.org or phone 020 7324 3072 or 07534 248 596.
Read more about the inquiry. Humanists UK’s response to the inquiry will be published by the Committee in due course.
Humanists UK is the national charity working on behalf of non-religious people. Powered by 110,000 members and supporters, we advance free thinking and promote humanism to create a tolerant society where rational thinking and kindness prevail. We provide ceremonies, pastoral care, education, and support services benefitting over a million people every year and our campaigns advance humanist thinking on ethical issues, human rights, and equal treatment for all.
