For my reviews of the previous films, click the following links:
Somehow, it makes both too much sense, and absolutely zero sense how this franchise has been the best that Sandler has made in recent years. It's no secret that the man's films have drastically declined in quality, leading many to believe that he's washed up, and for fairly good reason. If I'm not mistaken, Sandler even commented that the only reason he made certain movies was an excuse to go on vacation. That's some pretty shallow (yet brilliant, if you think about it) reasoning.
And yet, these movies are made. While you can read my full reviews, the long and short is that I actually like these movies. They're funny, colorful, energetic, and surprisingly heartfelt. While I think the drama in the first film was more effective, the second one was a bit funnier, so it's hard to say which I like more. But I do like both films. They're not masterpieces, and are certainly not anything on the level of Pixar, or Disney, or even the best of DreamWorks, but they're enjoyable flicks and I do find myself in the mood to watch them every Halloween, which is usually when the other movies came out. Why this one decided to go for a summer release is anyone's guess, but so long as it's good, I don't think I'll complain too much.
The story looks like it's about Drac getting a little frazzled from maintaining the hotel all by himself, so Mavis decides to take him on a vacation of his own, specifically a cruise ship for monsters. He's against the idea at first, but I guess at some point, he lightens up and even starts a budding romance with the ship's captain, who unbeknownst to the rest of Drac and company, is the descendant of Van Helsing, and looks like she's trying to kill Drac without much success.
Here's the cast. Starring, we have Adam Sandler (PIXELS [2015]), Selena Gomez (NEIGHBORS 2 [2016], THE BIG SHORT [2015], and upcoming films A RAINY DAY IN NEW YORK [2019] and THE VOYAGE OF DOCTOR DOLITTLE [2020]), Kathryn Hahn (FLOWER [2018], BAD MOMS X-MAS [2017], CAPTAIN FANTASTIC [2016], and TOMORROWLAND [2015]), and Andy Samberg (BRIGSBY BEAR [2017] and STORKS [2016]).
In support, we have Steve Buscemi (NANCY [2018], NORMAN [2017], and THE RIDICULOUS 6 [2015]), Mel Brooks (LEAP! [2017]), Keegan-Michael Key (THE DISASTER ARTIST [2017], DON'T THINK TWICE [2016], and upcoming films THE PREDATOR [2018] and THE LION KING [2019]), Fran Drescher (THE NANNY [1993 – 1999], and upcoming films THE CREATRESS [2018] and SAFE SPACES [2019]), and Tara Strong (BATMAN NINJA [2018], MY LITTLE PONY [2017], BATMAN: THE KILLING JOKE [2016], and the upcoming TEEN TITANS GO! TO THE MOVIES [2018]).
Now for the crew. Directing and co-writing, we have Genndy Tartakovsky, known for STAR WARS: CLONE WARS (2003 – 2005) and DEXTER'S LABORATORY (1996 – 2003). Tartakovsky's partner-in-pen is Michael McCullers, known for THE BOSS BABY (2017). Composing the score is Mark Mothersbaugh, known for THOR: RAGNAROK (2017), PITCH PERFECT 2 (2015), and the upcoming THE LEGO MOVIE 2: THE SECOND PART (2019). Finally, the editor is Joyce Arrastia, known for MONSTERS VS. ALIENS (2009) and THE LION KING 1 1/2 (2004).
Overall, while I'm looking forward to this, I remain cautiously optimistic. While the Hotel Transylvania franchise hasn't let me down yet, anything with Adam Sandler is reason enough to keep your guard up. I think it might be alright and I'll enjoy it enough, but we'll see.
This is my honest opinion of: HOTEL TRANSYLVANIA 3: SUMMER VACATION
Despite Dracula (Adam Sandler) doing a great job with his hotel, it's finally caught up with him that he's lonely and desires to be in a relationship. However, Mavis (Selena Gomez) mistakes his anxiety for stress from being overworked and decides to book a vacation for their family and friends aboard the cruise liner Legacy, which will be voyaging to the lost city of Atlantis. Despite Drac's reluctance, he agrees to the idea of spending time with his family. This, however, is made slightly complicated when the guests are greeted by the Legacy's captain, Ericka (Kathryn Hahn), and he zings, something he was convinced was only a once in a lifetime experience. However, what he doesn't know is that Ericka is the great-granddaughter of Drac's arch nemesis, Professor Abraham Van Helsing (Jim Gaffigan), and vows to continue his quest of ridding the world of all monsters.
Where I'm sitting, this might be my favorite of the Hotel Transylvania franchise. This movie is nearly nonstop comedy and cuteness.
For a healthy sum of this movie, all it is is a good time. A load of fun visuals and the cast clearly having the time of their lives. Leave it to the creator of THE POWERPUFF GIRLS to bring out great performances in a harmless kids movie. One of my favorite bits is when Wayne (Steve Buscemi) and Wanda (Molly Shannon), the werewolves, drop off their kids at the day care an there's that slow realization, after two movies of seeing these characters literally covered in their kids, as miserable and soul-crushed as a pair of parents can be, are completely without children. Their expressions are utterly priceless.
But when the plot gets under way, it's still an enjoyable fare. Hahn certainly brings a lot of energy to her role as Ericka, constantly trying to kill him, but failing at every turn. I especially love how most of these failures results in Blobby (Genndy Tartakovsky) getting in the way. It's during a montage where he's dancing with Drac, but no matter what kind of punishment that Blobby takes, he's constantly going with the dancing. I couldn't help but laugh. But one of the things that's always surprised me with these movies is how well the drama plays out. While the first one continues to have the best drama in this trilogy, this story does still have enough heart. This movie's drama is arguably the weakest in the series, it's not absent and does provide adequate breathing room from the comedy in appropriate places.
Bar none, my absolute favorite element of this movie makes a big comeback from the previous film, and that's the relationship between Dennis (Asher Blinkoff) and Winnie (Sadie Sandler). Oh my God, if you were anything like me and you wanted to see more of that, you get it and it's about as precious as you can imagine. In the opening scene, Winnie sneaks attack the poor, defenseless Dennis with a peck on the cheek, and that kid's animated reaction is utter cuteness, slowly backing away from her. But Winnie's not annoying about it. These two kids are troublemakers, constantly bringing Tinkles (Joe Whyte) everywhere they go even if he's not supposed to. I have a hard time believing that even the most cynical hearts couldn't find their relationship endearing.
As per tradition with the Hotel Transylvania movies, the animation is bright, colorful, and fast paced, keeping the energy up at all times. Sure, it might get a little too bouncy once in awhile, but I feel like that was always the intention of the movie, but I can see that being a little too pandering to the kids, but to be fair, a lot of the time, there's context to bouncing that makes me give it a little leeway. And side-note, it's nearly impossible to get me to laugh at fart jokes, but this movie managed to do it. And you know how? Because it isn't the fart that's funny, it's the fart that's happening to these characters. Comedy 101, kiddies. Although I do have to ask, Johnny (Andy Samberg) said that the guacamole was loaded with garlic, so why did Mavis still take a bite? Okay, it's not deadly and just gives vampires a case of the tooties (thanks, Vanessa, for teaching me this word), but still. Much as I love cats, I'm highly allergic to them. I ain't gonna own one as a result.
With all the praise that I can give, I do have a few nitpicks and it's pretty hard to talk about them without getting into spoilers, so… yup.
I think the relationship between Drac and Ericka could have been a little more romantically mutual earlier on to build up Ericka's uncertainty of just how bad monsters are. And jeez, by the end of the movie, he proposes to her. They've only been on one date, and the intention of that date was to poison him with garlic. Barely a date at all. It would have been nice for them to have saved that for the fourth movie that's inevitably going to happen.
Drac annoyed me a little. Granted, this was only in the beginning of the movie, but Sandler's voice acting was really starting to grate on me. I don't know, in the previous films, he was certainly a character with a lot of anxiety issues, but it made a lot of sense, given the context of the stories. In the first movie, a human finally discovers his hotel and threatens the safety of every patron, and it doesn't help that his daughter zinged with him. In the second movie, Mavis is threatening to take Dennis away as she doesn't believe he's safe in the hotel, so he tries desperately to force his transformation into a vampire. But here… he's lonely and… doesn't want Mavis to know? Why is that such a big secret? The anxiety in this case didn't feel justified enough. As a result, Sandler is just making noise to cover for his nervousness, and it sounds like he's trying too hard.
Overall, this was a really fun outing with the Hotel Transylvania crew. This may be just as funny as the second movie, if not funnier. I had a consistent smile on my face and even if a joke didn't land, there was enough likability to keep the movie afloat. Pun intended. By no means perfect, but it's well worth seeing whether you have kids or not. So I say give it a go if you're in the mood for something on the lighter side. We may have checked out of the hotel, but this monster cruise was worth top dollar.
My honest rating for HOTEL TRANSYLVANIA 3: SUMMER VACATION: 4/5

I had the privilege of serving as my mom's caregiver during her treatments at a live-in cancer care center. Even on her hardest days, she read Scripture and prayed for others before getting out of bed.
She spent time with Jesus daily, expressing her faith through her dependence on God, her kind deeds, and her desire to encourage and pray for others. Never realizing how much her smiling face glowed with the Lord's loving grace, she shared God's love with the people around her until the day He called her home to heaven.
After Moses spent forty days and forty nights communing with God (Ex. 34:28), he descended Mount Sinai. He had no idea his intimate connection with the Lord actually changed his appearance (v. 29). But the Israelites could tell Moses had spoken with the Lord (vv. 30–32). He continued meeting with God and influencing the lives of those around him (vv. 33–35).
We might not be able to see how our experiences with God change us over time, and our transformation will definitely not be as physically apparent as Moses's beaming face. But as we spend time with God and surrender our lives to Him more and more each day, we can reflect His love. God can draw others closer to Him as the evidence of His presence shows in and through us.
— Xochitl Dixon
Our intimate moments spent with God can change us and direct others to His love.

In 1892, members of the longshore union met in Detroit, Michigan to christen their organization as the National Longshoremen's Association of the United States. The new union quickly became an official arm of the trade unionist movement by joining with the American Federation of Labor (AFL). With successful expansion into ports on the east and west coasts, including several Canadian ports by 1895, the union changed its name to the International Longshoremen's Association (ILA).
By the end of 1933, West Coast longshoremen voted to suspend local ILA president Lee Holman rather than accept a conservative contract largely supported by the East Coast membership. This was a major setback for ILA president Joe Ryan. Thus, the 1934 West Coast Longshore Strike began.
Union solidarity and commitment to coast-wide bargaining gained during the early days of the 1934 West Coast Strike and the support shown through the San Francisco General Strike gave longshoremen the confidence they needed to turn down the settlement agreed to by Joe Ryan, President of the ILA, and continue the strike. Except for San Pedro longshoremen, whose conservative leadership convinced its membership to abide by the agreement, the rest of the West Coast locals voted in favor of continuing their violent struggle for recognition and a coast wide agreement more favorable to dockworkers.
The 1934, West Coast Strike was the first truly successful attempt by the ILA to gain control of the waterfront. It was also the beginning of the end for the conservative faction within the International to maintain control of the West Coast longshoremen. On October 12, 1934 a National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) arbitration ruling awarded the longshoremen increases in base rates of pay, provisions for penalty cargo rates, the establishment of the thirty-hour work week, and, most important, joint operation of the hiring hall whereby dispatchers would be selected by the ILA.
In the coming years, numerous setbacks coupled with the lack of International support for the 1936 West Coast 98-day maritime strike led many of the West Coast locals to form an independent "Waterfront Federation." The final break from the ILA came in May during the 1937 Annual Convention of the ILA's Pacific Coast District, when three resolutions were passed by the membership to leave the AFL to join the newly established Committee of Industrial Organizations (later known as the CIO).
In August 1937, the CIO issued a new charter to the "International Longshoremen's and Warehousemen's Union" (ILWU). Then, in June 1938, the National Labor Relations Board voted in favor of the ILWU as the recognized bargaining agent for the entire Pacific Coast. The ILWU has remained separate from the ILA since these early jurisdictional, political and organizational disputes. In 1950, the ILWU would again face political turmoil with a growing conservatism within the CIO. The longshoremen of the West Coast, along with ten other "left-wing" unions were expelled from the CIO during the early years of the Cold War. The fact that the ILWU was the only union to survive this drastic measure by the national organization attests to the solidarity of its leadership and membership and their continued commitment to union activism.
The International Longshoremen's and Warehousemen's Union (ILWU), Local 13 Records, Part II documents the establishment, development, goals, and achievements of unionism on the Pacific Coast through agreements, arbitration awards, bulletins, convention proceedings, committee records, contracts, correspondence, legal documents, working papers and audio-tapes. The records describe in detail labor/management relations, labor conditions on the waterfront, the sudden effects of mechanization on the longshore labor force, and the day-to-day administration of this longshore union. The collection is organized in three parts, of which this is Part II. Part II has been divided into ten major series: Executive Board and Regular Meetings, Local 13 (1934-1948, 1958-1978), Committee and Council Records (1933-1989), Arbitration Awards (1934-1986), Longshore, Ship Clerks, and Walking Bosses Caucus (1960-1981), Subject Files (1935-1985), General Correspondence Files (1941-1986), ILWU Contract Agreements (1938-1987), ILWU Legal Case Files (1940-1977), ILWU Bulletins and Newsletters (1956-1985), and Non-Manuscript Material.
Series I, Executive Board and Regular Meetings, Local 13, continues the series of the same name in Part I, and as such consists predominately of minutes for meetings of the Executive Board and Regular Meetings of the membership at Local 13 Union Hall, Wilmington. Also included in the minutes are table of contents (indexes) for meetings of the Executive Board for the period 1943-1948 and attendance rosters for the period 1958-1975. The files also contain minutes of Stop Work Meetings of Local 13's membership. The minutes are arranged in chronological order. Audio recordings of meetings of regular membership (1958-1977), stop work meetings (1959-1977), the "Unemployed 500" (February 1966), the Stewards Council (December 1959), Trial Committee hearings of Jack Riley and M. Gutierrez (January 1965) and several other ILWU events are recorded on three hundred and five (305), seven inch (7") reel-to-reel tapes. The tapes are arranged in chronological order, with a small section of tapes filed alphabetically and are stored separately.
Series II, Committee and Council Records, contains attendance records, correspondence, membership lists, minutes, notes, reports and working papers for the many committees created to administrative run ILWU activities. Continuations of committee records found in Part I are included in this series. The files for the three Labor Relations committees (Area, Coast and Joint) are filed alphabetically, rather than together as seen in Part I. Labor relations files for the period 1970-1978 were included in the papers of Rudy Rubio. Additional material found in Part II for the Membership Committee does not include minutes. Committee assignments that did not appear in Part I include: Accident Prevention Committee, Longshoremen's Memorial Association Committee, Negotiation Committee - National Lines Bureau, Inc., Picket Committee, Safety Committee and Strike Committee. Materials are filed alphabetically by committee name.
Series III, Arbitration Awards, continues the arbitration hearings found in Part I and continues the documentation of union and employer complaints, conflicts and labor issues. Arbitration documents are divided into three subseries. Arbitration Procedures (1959-1977), contains arbitration procedures and one notebook of LRC cases filed chronologically. Section XI(g) Awards (1939) contains one file folder for 1939 awards relating to Section XI(g) of the labor agreement. Related Documents (1934-1986) contains arbitration rulings, correspondence, notes and related case documents for individual awards. These files are arranged alphabetically by subject.
Series IV, Longshore, Ship Clerks, and Walking Bosses Caucus, continues the series of the same name in Part I and as such documents the caucus proceedings for the bi-annual meetings of the LSCWBC. There are volumes missing as was the case in Part I. This series has been further divided into two subseries: Proceedings (1965-1967), filed in chronological order; and Lou Loveridge Files (1960-1981), consisting of memoranda, notes, proposals, reports, resolutions, remarks of union leaders and summarized minutes. Loveridge wrote many marginal notes during caucus meetings. The files are arranged in chronological order.
Series V, Subject Files, include the files of Lou Loveridge, Rudy Rubio and Tony Salcido, all former officers of ILWU, Local 13. The records include constitutional amendments, convention packets, correspondence, clippings, publications, policy statements, proposals, reports, working papers and related documents covering a wide variety of topics. Of particular significance are convention packets and working papers of Lou Loveridge for the biennial convention of the ILWU for the period 1965-1971, the meeting minutes of the International Executive Board for the period 1974-1980, the Pacific Maritime Association (PMA) Bulletin 1983-1985 and the correspondence files of striking union locals. The series also contains a twenty-five percent (25%) sampling of conditional penalty reports, employer complaints, jurisdictional dispute report, union complaints and visitor registration slips. Materials are filed alphabetically.
Series VI, General Correspondence Files, contains those early administrative correspondence files saved by ILWU, Local 13. The files are arranged in chronological order.
Series VII, ILWU Contract Agreements, contains agreements, correspondence, notes and working papers which document contract negotiations between the ILWU and the many waterfront employers hiring longshoremen and warehousemen. Of particular significance are the agreements with Crescent Warehouse Company, Ltd.; Koppel Bulk Terminal; M.G.R.S. Corporation, Catalina and the National Lines Bureau, Inc. The series also contains the basic West Coast agreements with the Pacific Maritime Association (formerly the Waterfront Employers Association) and the general commercial warehouse, gearmen and sweepers agreements. The files are arranged in alphabetical order.
Series VIII, ILWU Legal Case Files, contains cases brought before the District Court, Superior Court and Court of Appeals; the National Labor Relations Board and the District Court for the District of Hawaii. The series includes incomplete legal files of correspondence, documents filed in court and court notices. Of particular importance for ILWU organizing activities in Hawaii (Local 36) is the 1949 case brought before the United States District Court for the District of Hawaii against President of the Senate Wilfred C. Tsukiyama, et al. There is also a small file of documents for the Harry Bridges case. Other unions represented among the legal papers include the Seafarers International Union of North America, the International Longshoremen's Association (ILA) and Marine Cooks and Stewards, AFL. The cases are arranged in alphabetical order.
Series IX, ILWU Bulletins and Newsletters, contains the ILWU, Local 13 Bulletin for the period 1967-1985. Of particular importance are the Strike Bulletins put out during the 1971-1972 strike. Members of Local 13 also published alternative newsletters such as John Pandora's One Member's Opinion and The Quorum during the 1970s and 1980s. Several other ILWU publications represented in this small series include caucus, contract and election bulletins and releases, Area Strike Bulletin (1971-1972) published by the ILWU Area Publicity Committee, the International's One Member's Opinion also published by John Pandora (1976-1982) and several issues of the newsletter published by the Marine Clerks Association during the 1971 strike. The files are arranged in alphabetical order by title or local.
Series X, Non-Manuscript Material includes audio recordings, memorabilia, photographs, wooden plaques presented to ILWU, Local 13, and other similar items, including several hundred index cards listing strikebreakers, company goons and other known anti-union figures.

A GANG of muggers intimidated their teenage victims by forcing them to watch a mobile phone video clip of a brutal assault.
The three teenagers were on the top deck of the number 23 Stagecoach bus at 6.40pm last Thursday evening when they were threatened by a gang of nine thugs.
Police say one of the attackers pointed to his jumper claiming he had a gun and then used his own mobile to show the boys video footage of a previous assault on a bus. The terrified youngsters, aged 12 to 14, quickly handed over their own mobile phones. The gang then got off the bus near to Manchester Southern Cemetery.
Pc Catherine Shaw, of the West Didsbury Police Robbery Unit, is leading the investigation. She said: "We've never heard of anything like this happening before - it certainly gives us a good chance of locking them up if we find them with video evidence on their own phones.
"The victims were left very shaken, scared and intimidated by what happened. Obviously the intimation that one of the men was carrying a firearm was particularly frightening for them.
"We are looking for anyone who was on the bus to help us with our enquiries."
Most of the gang members were described as black, between 16 and 22 years old and wearing dark clothing. One of them was wearing a blue tracksuit and Nike Air Max trainers.
One member of the group is described as white, aged 16 to 22 years-old and was wearing dark clothing. He had a large nose with eyes set far apart.
Anyone who has witnessed the incident or has any information is asked to contact the Robbery Unit at West Didsbury on: 0161 856 6073 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Equipment Room Storage
Q: I was always under the impression that no storage was allowed in mechanical rooms within hospitals. Now I work at a hospital that allows ladders and supplies to be stored in mechanical rooms. Is this allowed?
A: All I can say is it is not a NFPA violation to store items in mechanical rooms, as long as it is done properly. Obviously, storing combustible or flammable items must be accomplished in approved storage rooms, and the typical mechanical room may not qualify for these hazards. But then again, perhaps a mechanical room could qualify to store combustibles. Sections 126.96.36.199 for new construction and 188.8.131.52 for existing conditions of the 2000 edition of the LSC describe the requirements for storing combustibles. It does not make sense to store a bunch of cardboard boxes full of paper filters in a mechanical room that also houses fuel-fired equipment. But why can't you store those same boxes of filters in a mechanical room for air handlers that does not have any fuel-fire equipment, and qualifies as a hazardous room under the code sections referenced? The NFPA codes and standards do not prohibit it. Where hospitals get 'pinched' on this issue, is they don't do their homework. A mechanical room that was never designed to double up as a storage room may not qualify as a storage room for combustibles. If you alter (or change) the use of a room or area, the room or area must comply with the requirements for new construction. This means if a hospital decides to start storing combustibles in an AHU mechanical (with no fuel-fired equipment), now the room must be protected with 1-hour fire rated barriers, and also be protected with automatic sprinklers. If the room in question does not meet these requirements, then the hospital is exposed for a citation. Another issue is access. Even if the same AHU mechanical room described above qualifies as a hazardous room, if there are so many items stored in the mechanical room that obstructs access to the mechanical equipment, then that is a problem and the hospital could be cited as well

Montreal-based Transat A.T. says it managed to trim losses, despite a slight decline in revenue.
Transat A.T. posts slight decline in revenue for second quarter
Montreal-based Transat A.T. says it has managed to trim losses, despite a slight decline in revenue.
The parent company of Air Transat reported revenue of $884.3 million during the three-month period ended on April 30, 2017. That's down $3.9 million from the $888.2 million it reported during the year-earlier period.
The company attributed the decline to an increase in the percentage of customers who only booked flights and not all-inclusive packages.
The company's net loss attributable to shareholders was $8.4 million, or 23 cents per share, during the quarter, its second of the fiscal year, compared with a net loss of almost $25 million, or 68 cents, per share during the year-earlier period.
"Despite our efforts to decrease our costs and improve our margins, the combined effect of the U.S. dollar and fuel has made our operating costs go up, upsetting a significant portion of the impact of the actual efficiency gains we have managed to realize," Denis Pétrin, the company's CFO, told analysts on a conference call.
The decline in value of the Canadian dollar, compared with the American dollar, along with an increase in fuel prices pushed operating costs up by $21 million during the quarter, the company said.
Transat currently has cash and cash equivalents $566.3 million, up from $440.6 million during the year-earlier period..
It plans to use some of that cash to increase its presence in the hotel business.
During the quarter, Transat acquired a 50-per-cent share in a Puerto Vallarta hotel for $13.4 million. It plans to expand that property from 49 rooms to 263.
It is also attempting to acquire a 100-per-cent ownership stake in Ocean Hotels, a chain of seven properties in Mexico, the Dominican Republic and Cuba. It currently owns a 30-per-cent stake in the chain.
If it can't gain control, Transat says it plans to sell its stake and invest the proceeds in hotel investments it controls.
"We want to control our destiny in the hotel business," CEO Jean-Marc Eustache said.
While the increasing percentage of passengers booking flights alone contributed to the revenue decline, Pétrin says it could be good in the long term, as those passengers have less flexibility when booking and will pay more for tickets.
Eustache also addressed concerns that the company's business might be damaged by "direct" flights operated by subcontractor Flair Airlines making unscheduled refuelling stops.
"We don't have enough planes during the summer season going to the Caribbean and Mexico, so we use third parties," Eustache said.
He said that even though stops were made, the flights are still considered direct.
"There are no regulatory or safety risks with these flights," he said. "It's really exceptional cases when it's happened."
During the past three years, 0.1 per cent of flights sold by Transat stopped to refuel, he said.
"This year, we had 29 tech stops, including the fuel, on 12,903 flights. So, at the end of the day, considering the high volume of Air Transat operations, the number of technical stops is really, really, marginal."

Bizarre CCTV footage has left people questioning what on Earth it could be, as the clip in question shows what looks like a ghost haunting city streets.
A camera in the city of Huaraz, the capital of the north-western Peruvian state of Ancash, filmed the mysterious mist as it left a building, waited around a parked car for several moments, before gliding off into the night.
Local media have reported the spooky spirit has been dubbed the 'Ghost of Christmas Present' by security staff, because it was spotted while a festive party was being celebrated in the building.
While revellers were dancing the night away and celebrating the Christmas holidays, the 'festive phantom' decided to leave the party early and surprised someone who was waiting on the street outside, sat in a yellow car.
The shade then lingered on the pavement before drifting away, never to be seen again…
As you can imagine, those on the world wide web were sceptical to say the least after seeing the ghoulish footage.
Yuri Bascope Espinoza wrote:
It looks like an insect crawling across the camera lens to me.
Check out the footage below and see for yourself:
[ooyala player_id="5df2ff5a35d24237905833bd032cd5d8″ auto="true" width="720″ pcode="twa2oyOnjiGwU8-cvdRQbrVTiR2l" code="liMzh0ZDE6WYkz4H8bYjbEToep3athgY"]
Mariela AG agreed commenting:
It is just a bug on the pole of the security camera creating a shadow.
However, CL Carlez had a different theory and wrote:
It is the ghost of Alberto Fujimori.
Albert Fujimori is a 79-year-old former president of Peru who was convicted of numerous crimes between 2007 and 2009.
However, he received a humanitarian pardon from the current president, Pablo Kuczynski, earlier this year.
Yet the pardon, on health grounds, hasn't gone down well with a number of Peruvian writers, who have condemned the decision.
According to the BBC, the writers have called it 'a disgrace for Peru' and sent a letter to the Spanish news agency Efe, saying how President Kuczynski's decision was illegal and irresponsible.
Fujimori, the former leader, has been serving a lengthy prison sentence for human rights abuses and corruption during his time in office in the 1990s.
On Thursday (28/12/2017) a group of United Nations human rights officials called it a slap in the face for victims of Mr Fujimori's government.
Thousands of people have taken to the streets of Lima and other cities to protest against the decision – Mr Fujimori's critics consider him a corrupt dictator.
Earlier this week, Mr Kuczynski acknowledged the anger triggered by his decision but said:
[he could not] allow Alberto Fujimori to die in prison.
Supporters of the former leader state it was a humanitarian gesture and continue to praise him for combating Maoist rebels of the Shining Path movement in the 1990s.

With an expanding network of over 1000 final mile carriers, eTrac can connect you to your existing carrier base and add more options to your final mile carrier choices.
It can integrate with almost any existing platform. eTrac connects directly to the carriers operational system eliminating slow updates through web portals and manual entry. Because eTrac is already connected to hundreds of final mile carriers, finding a carrier in another city is easy, and managing your relationship with carriers is seamless, expanding your service area without overhead — increasing your flexibility and giving you the real-time information you need to serve your customers.
Once you connect to eTrac, you have:
- Access to over 1300 already connected eTrac partners

Your customers demand immediate visibility throughout the order life cycle and communicating data with all those operational platforms can be a nightmare. Your IT staff has internal projects that need to be done and trying to manage so many data connections just adds to their workload.
Contact us to find out how you can easily connect with your carriers, use technology to simplify your operational processes and gain real-time visibility of your shipments throughout the final mile delivery chain.

The entry model 220d is well equipped, riding on large, buyer friendly 19-inch wheels. Cabin trim is Benz's faux leather, with stylish dark grey timber. It has a seven-inch tablet-style display, plus digital radio and satnav, but Apple CarPlay/Android Auto are yet to be added. Three-year unlimited/kilometre warranty is nothing special while services cost $2280 for three years.
Cabin is stylish, roomy and comfortable, with plenty of rear legroom and decent sized boot with easy access. Thankfully the number of buttons demanding driver attention has been reduced but you have to come to grips with the central control module and its odd touchpad (it's not a touchscreen). It must all be a bit much for some — given the number of Benz drivers who seem to have trouble even hooking up their mobile.
Scores five stars from ANCAP with a 95 per cent protection rating for adults and 89 per cent for kiddies. Comes with nine airbags, blind spot alerts and "Pre-Safe" that prepares the cabin if an impact is imminent. It has a 360-degree camera and pedestrian friendly pop-up bonnet. meanwhile, its version of autonomous braking works up to 105km/h.
It's not going to set the world on fire, not at 8.3 seconds for the 0-100km/h sprint, though it feels quicker. Ample torque makes it a snap to drive. Nine-speed auto covers any eventuality but the column-mounted gear selector takes some getting used to. Rides on steel springs with adjustable dampers, with all-wheel drive and that coveted high driving position. The ride, super smooth for the most part, can be choppy on rough roads. Select drive modes for a sporty or more relaxed throttle response. Run-flats mean there's no spare, freeing up boot space.
BMW X3 2.0 xDrive 20d, from $65,800
Continues to improve but remains in the shadow of the X5. Diesel produces 140kW/400Nm and turns an eight-speed auto, enabling 0-100km/h time of 8.1 seconds. Stop-start keeps thirst down to a claimed 5.2L/100km. Wheels are 18-inchers shod with run-flats. Services cost $1440 over five years/80,000km (condition based) and warranty is three years/unlimited km.
Audi Q5 2.0 TDI Quattro, from $63,600
An agile adversary. We're not huge fans of the seven-speed twin-clutch gearbox. With 130kW/380Nm it's the least powerful of the trio too and takes 9.0 seconds from rest to 100km/h. Stop-start assists claimed thirst of 6.1L/100km. Space-saver spare. Warranty is three years/ unlimited km. Servicing costs $1870 for 3 years/45,000km.
Practical, priced attractively and based on the award-winning C-Class, this one's a keeper, especially with that three-pointed star emblazoned on the front.

KILLEEN, Texas — UPDATE: Police have charged 29 year-old Mario Martin of Killeen with two counts of aggravated assault on a public servant and one count of evading arrest in a vehicle.
A suspect was shot by a Killeen officer today after leading police a car chase. The suspect was airlifted to Baylor Scott & White Medical Center in Temple for his injuries.
The pursuit started around 4 p.m. Thursday when the driver of a black SUV refused to stop. The driver was leading officers on Elms Rd. when the vehicle entered the intersection of Fort Hood St. and Elms Rd. and collided with another SUV.
Officials said the officer was forced to discharge his weapon after the driver rammed his vehicle into a police cruiser.
This story will be updated with developing information.

So today I did stuff in the house and then after talking to Lovely Mike from next door and burning my knee I decided I needed to be out and in the sunshine. My lily bush had sprouted again so I set myself the task of doing some serious hacking. There was no vodka, knickers or fags to be found so it's been a quiet couple of weeks in Bedford Road. The flowers that I planted with Leanne a few weeks ago are proper flowers now and not just plants and they have their pretty little faces turned up to the sunshine. Oh yes, it's another sizzler.
Lovely Mike my neighbour runs the B and B next door and had a yap with me on the front steps this morning. It's only since Gill his equally lovely wife died that I have got to know him properly and he really is a nice and genuine man. he also likes a good gossip. Today the points we covered were -
What a crap year 2013 has been - more for Mike than anyone :(
Our kids
A couple of people we both know - can't say who but LOL!
Dogs on beaches
Dogs not on beaches
The appearance of painted blue marks on our back lane which means some utility company is going to dig it up
and most importantly............
How a couple of his guests have complained about how noisy the seagulls are.
I said to Mike - ''ahh that's Tony Gordon and Peter'' and then we agreed that Tony is a right con gull and that he is big enough to fly and then I told him about Woman With the £1 Water and he agreed she was off her chops and then we said Tony is as fat as a goose. For anyone that reads my blog regularly , you will totally know what I am waffling about and for anyone else - then read the last few days and it will all be apparent. I still haven't rung Jackie With the Big Glasses but I am going to tonight before someone takes matters into their own hands and those 3 gulls are murdered.
I also spotted a mime artist huffing and puffing up the road.
Mime artists freak me out a bit. It's just not normal to be stood that still for so long and to not speak. This one was hot and in a hurry and his face was silver. I spoke to him and he actually mimed a reply to me. I didn't look impressed and my inner voice may have uttered 'tosser' as he scuttled past. I think he is the one that hangs round at the bottom of Fore Street. My husband maintains that he saw a woman with a dog that did a huge poop in front of it last week and came home giggling.
It was the dog that did the poop and not the owner by the way..............
Quiz tonight!
I have done the questions. They are printed off and have been placed in a sealed envelope and it's too late for any of them to be changed. On trip advisor someone left a comment about the camp site that the quiz was ...ahem, cough cough
A cynical friend suggested that I had written the review myself but I think you all know that if I had written it then I would have been slightly more descriptive - especially about the blonde bird on the microphone! It's a good mix of questions, some ridiculously easy, some that you have to think about and a couple that I may have to apologise for in advance. All I'm saying is...............I like my anagrams, so listen carefully. Oh and I also like 80's music.
Only 2 more days until I have my first official weigh in as a born again Slimming World virgin. I am eating out with the ladies from book group tonight prior to the quiz and lunch out tomorrow too but if I make wise and healthy choices then I should be ok. ZZZZZZZZZZ. What a bleddy bore. I really want sticky toffee pudding and lashings of wine but I want my hip bones more.
I can't have my pud and eat it. Plus I have gulls to rehome and a bush to keep tidy and I'm sure that I can do all this much more easily with prominent cheekbones.

Danny and Nancy,
I wanted to personally thank the two of you for all of your help and patience in our search for a home at Ginger Cove. We are very excited to let you know that we will be closing on #90 this Friday. We appreciate all you have done and we look forward to moving in Friday. Danny, I will recommend you to everyone looking for a home. You have been wonderful to work with and so open. Thanks again for everything. You have been the best!!!" Sincerely Jolene and Gene Pace.
"Well, things have gone from bad to worse between our realtor and the buyer. Ryan and I are so tired and disappointed. The clock is ticking and school starts in one month! I wanted to write you and tell you we are sorry and let you know we did not hire another realtor in January due to anything you did or did not do for us. It was a wonderful experience, too bad we couldn't sell back then. I should have contacted you to let you know our plans. At Christmas time my uncle persuaded us to try an NP Dodge realtor, mix things up a bit. Boy, did we mix things up!! Anyway, there is no comparison between the customer service e we received from you and the customer service we DIDN'T receive from our current realtor. Please keep us in mind if you ever need a customer referral. We would be happy to talk to perspective clients about what a good job you do. Our contract is up on Tuesday and I think we are going to try to do it on our own. We just can't afford the 7% commission we might have to pay if an outside agent sells the house. I hope you will not hesitate to bring any interested parties to look at our home. I know you have done that in the past with Duane Krusemark. It would be great if in the end you made the sale on our house and finally got back the money you invested advertising for us all those months! Anyway, this apology is long overdue. I hope all is well with you and your family. Please don't hesitate to ask if you ever need a referral. Who knows, we may have to come crawling back if we have no luck selling on our own. Thanks again" Lori Scott
"Wanted to say thank you for the good luck plant for my B-Day. It looks great in our kitchen. I also am way past due on my saying thank you for all your help and hard work to make this house possible for Carter and I. We Love it! Couldn't have done it w/o your help. You went on and above during the process and in getting us a frame for our picture downstairs with the candle & soap. You are so thoughtful. Thank you again for making it so special for me and for being such a dear friend". Love ya, Ellen Collins.
To whom it may concern:
We hired Nancy Berg with Prudential Real Estate to help us sell our home at 91 Ginger Cove in Valley, Ne. She and her husband Danny, were exactly the right agents for us. Being gone for the winter months meant that they were able to show the house on their own time schedule. And they did! They held Open house on most weekends, particularly when the weather was warmer and they felt there would be a lot of traffic. Every time they showed the house, they contacted us with comments. They watched over the house as if it were their own. To the point of noticing the garage door open one day and stopping to find it was our son who had stopped by for something. There were a couple maintenance type items that needed taken care of while we were gone, and they were available to open the house to allow the work to be done.
During the contract process of our sale, Nancy paid close attention to the fine details of the process. She very carefully crafted the wording

ACUVUE®, ACUVUE® OASYS™, HYDRACLEAR®, are trademarks of Johnson & Johnson, Inc. © Johnson & Johnson, Inc. 2009. Helps protect against transmission of harmful UV radiation to the cornea and into the eye. WARNING: UV-absorbing contact lenses are NOT substitutes for protective UV-absorbing eyewear such as UV-absorbing goggles or sunglasses because they do not completely cover the eye and surrounding area. You should continue to use UV-absorbing eyewear as directed. NOTE: Long-term exposure to UV radiation is one of the risk factors associated with cataracts. Exposure is based on a number of factors such as environmental conditions (altitude, geography, cloud cover) and personal factors (extent and nature of outdoor activities). UV-blocking contact lenses help provide protection against harmful UV radiation. However, clinical studies have not been done to demonstrate that wearing UV-blocking contact lenses reduces the risk of developing cataracts or other eye disorders.

Many have wondered how Marvel is going to slide their Guardians of the Galaxy franchise in with the rest of the cinematic universe. And while the cosmic side of this world will expand with Captain Marvel and Inhumans, both arriving in 2018, we don't yet have an explanation as to how Star-Lord and his pals are going to first meet Marvel's The Avengers. With the announcement of Avengers: Infinity War Part 1 and Avengers: Infinity War Part 2, which will close out the Phase 3 slate and include the big bad villain Thanos, many believe that Guardians of the Galaxy 2 will set up and introduce this particular story line. Continuing to promote the release of Guardians of the Galaxy on Blu-ray and DVD this December, director James Gunn says this isn't true at all.
Speaking with MTV, Gunn explains that his franchise is able to stand on its own, and is not reliant on the epic ensemble that will include most of the Marvel universe of characters in some capacity before it's all done with Avengers: Infinity War.
"I don't feel beholden to that stuff at all. I think it's really about the Guardians and what they are doing. We're not subservient to the Avengers. 'Guardians 2' is not a movie that's made to move toward 'Infinity War.' It's something that's made to move toward future cosmic movies, so I don't feel that that is something that affects me that much."
In an interview from this past August, during the time of Guardians of the Galaxy's initial release in theaters, James Gunn did tease the possibility that the Avengers and Guardians would eventually mingle and coexist.
"[We've] talked about all sorts of possibilities for a crossover...What the basic plan is...It could always change at any minute...That could or could not include a couple of Avengers and a couple of Guardians meeting up, or all of the Avengers and all of the Guardians. But, we do inhabit the same universe and they're pretty big personalities that are likely to, at some point or another, run into each other."
Right now, it sounds like Guardians of the Galaxy 2 will be it's own thing, but we will likely get an introduction to either Captain Marvel, Inhumans, or both. And with Captain Marvel also rumored to be making an appearance at the end of Avengers: Age of Ultron, she could very well be the one character that ties everything together.

The Destination
Cusco, known as the ombligo del mundo (the world's belly button) by Peruvians, was the center of the Inca empire that lasted between 1400 and 1534, and at its greatest moments, expanded from what today is known as Quito, Ecuador to Santiago, Chile. Modern day Cusco is colorful and lively, brimming with traditional Andean art, dance, live shows, and street performances. Catering to an international audience, a wide range of languages can be heard in the streets, including Quechua, the local indigenous language, which most Cusqueños speak in addition to Spanish. Walk down the street in the historic district to appreciate the mestizaje (mixture) of the architecture, the massive foundations and gates of Inca palaces, with colonial adobe walls and ceilings rising from their solid bases. It is no surprise that in 1983, the city of Cusco was named a UNESCO World Heritage site, as well as nearby Machu Picchu, which was also named one of the Seven Wonders of the World in 2007.
Excursions & Activities
Machu Picchu
Few sites elicit the wonder that Machu Picchu does. Students explore various historical interpretations by historians and archeologists and develop their own idea of the site's purpose.
Maras Salt Mines
These famous salt mines have approximately 3,000 salt pools at the base of Qaqawiñay Mountain and supposedly, have been in operation since pre-Incan times.
Awanacancha Textile Market and Llama Farm
The Awanacancha Project offers students an unmatched tutorial in traditional textile weaving - from the dying of the yarn, to the intricate traditional Andean weaving techniques.

Poem: Divine Mask
The divine mask of religion is an…
ugly misnomer of hatred and abuse,
used by the religiously empowered
to take ungodly advantage of weak,
spiritually challenged people,
whose Faith can be easily bruised.
It's meant to hide the inability
of leaderships' failure to walk in
an atmosphere of Love, as defined
by Christ Himself; with hostility
that's masked, grace towards sin
is lacking, when The Word is used
as a club, since they're unable to
provide general solace and succor
towards those struggling to grow
and mature properly. Christ's view
of us, is tear-filled; He's seen
and experienced the harsh cruelty
of Humanity's efforts to mete out
justice blindly, without needed
consideration and understanding…
of Yahweh's Providential authority.

Inspired by:
Luke 23; Mark 15

It's said that a picture is worth a thousand words, and for this reason using visual elements within your manuscript can help to keep the writing concise and effective. But how can you be sure that the words conveyed are delivering the right message?
Below you will find seven tips for incorporating tables and figures into your work.
Use visuals that enhance the manuscript
Most scholars agree that if the idea conveyed by a table or figure can be done with a sentence or two, the visual is likely unnecessary and the concept should be written in paragraph form. For larger data sets, complex ideas, or schematics, however, the use of visuals can simplify the understanding and reduce the overall word count needed to convey the information. [Read more…]
