"Rogue One"a step in the right direction
Last year, Disney reintroduced the Star Wars franchise to a new generation with "Force Awakens." The positive of that was to see a new story on the big screen from the galaxy far, far away. However, my greatest disappointment was how so much time was spent rehashing material from the first movie instead of being its own thing. "Rogue One" has the upper hand because its a true prequel. This one has the advantage to expand on the universe while being a true link to "Star Wars."
The main center of the story is a heroin named Jyn (Felicity Jones) who reluctantly assists a group of rebels to find out what the evil Imperial army is up to. I like how at first she doesn't show interest but suddenly shows a sign of care once faced with what's to come. Although she has little to no appeal in the space battles, her curiosity peaks when she learns how her father is in the mix of this. She is rebellious yet cunning. Honestly, I can't think of a female character in the Star Wars universe that wasn't highly determined.
Joining for the trip is an officer named Cassian (Diego Luna) whose only there to do his job. Tasked with the mission at hand, Cassian shares the same instincts but knows his limits. In one crucial moment, he's told to assassinate someone vital to bringing down the Rebellion. Once in the moment, he hesitates questioning what value it would bring. I like how he's not stubborn to a new idea and at least there is no romantic pairing with Jyn. He's an honest companion that questions his rights as a fighter.
Other rebels on the way range from a blind man who believes in the Jedi ways and his friend who is more militant. There's sort of a ying and yang idea going on here as the two have different fighting methods. One is more resourceful on spiritual belief while the other is more into physical action. Its elements like these that make me wonder why "Force Awakens" wasn't this clever with ideas like this. Sure it had Finn questioning if he's a human or a fighting machine, but "Rouge One" was built around a fresh story.
To be fair, this one doesn't shy away from reheating leftover elements. Case and point is an android named K-2SO. He's obviously the C-3PO type who is very knowledgeable despite being the comic relief. Thankfully, Alan Tudyk's performance saves the character from being a predictable variation making K more open to fighting when needed and hilariously pessimistic. In a way, this bot reminded me of Marvin the Depressed Robot or some kind of creation that only Douglas Adams would delight in.
Like I said, "Rogue One" doesn't shy away from the bin of "oh, look its this from the other films" or "wow, that answers this." I can't begin to describe the amount of Easter eggs and things I'm sure Star Wars fans of old will be overjoyed in. The one I'm most surprised is a CGI recreation of Peter Cushing as Grand Moff Tarkin. I guess now in days you don't need to hire a new actor with heavy make-up and I should be too shocked considering this same method was done in Tron Legacy to Jeff Bridges. Still, I liked how limitless this movie went when it came to linking itself to the older entry.
When you boil it down, "Rouge One" is hard to talk about without giving away most of the plot details. For fans of old and new, this will certainly be a nice Christmas treat. I know considering how much of a kick I got out of seeing real sets instead of CGI crafted ones, actual planet environments instead of studio built ones and intense battle scenes that challenge or match the charm of the original trilogy. I can't tell you how much I smiled to see the AT-TA walkers during the big finale. This is a fun ball of nostalgia while also delivering a complex movie about power and fighting back.
Though parents, be fair warned. "Rouge One" is highly recommended not for smaller fans. This is a radically different movie as director Gareth Edwards wanted this to be more like a war movie and I feel he succeeded. Despite the PG-13 rating, this is packed with many intense battle scenes and shootouts that parents might want to reconsider this as a Christmas gift for their kids. Even bigger of a debate is the ending (which I will try to avoid ruining) as key characters get killed off to which I'm certain will upset some viewers. For alternatives, I suggest taking them to either "Moana" or "Fantastic Beasts." Both films have a kind charm that are better suited for the holiday. "Rogue One" is a good entry and an improvement over last year's entry. But what irks me is how it won't be canon with the new trilogy. Apparently, the idea is to make a series of Star Wars anthology movies that are more in line with the original films. Honestly, I'd more inclined to see them than watch the continuing retreaded adventures of Kylo Ren.
Horror-Wood Blog-a-Thon: Island of Terror
Island of Terror sets a couple of "landmarks" in place despite being small on horror history. Despite being a British production, it was the first science fiction horror film Universal distributed in a long time by as a double feature with another British sci-fi called The Projected Man. Released in 1966 (but distributed to US soil nearly a year after), it was one of the last films to have a terror made by science but to be resolved by "scientific" measures. I do hope I'm not spoiling anything there but this was part of a long run of 1950s B-movies where a scientist would create something and try to destroy with a "cure" in the lab motif. Despite being cheap looking by today's standards, surprisingly its one of the few movies where its cheesy gets really effected depending on the viewer. But I should warn right now that if you are eating or feel easy stomached, turn away now because this one is a doozy to discuss.
On a remote island off the east coast of Ireland, a group of scientists try to find a cute for cancer. A heavy idea for the time and even then still deep for today's standards. Most scientists in movies at that age would try things like trying to read a book with their mind but here, its a bit realistic and welcome. Well, something goes wrong and all sorts of horror is unleashed as bodies are discovered but with their bones sucked out leaving behind skin, blood and flesh. A creepy concept enough and keeps you guessing up until the monster(s) show up. Even the make-up job on the squishy corpses are enough to send chills. It looks hokey but effective.
Peter Cushing plays a pathologist named Dr. Brian Stanley, he's the typical scientist that looks at the clues and tries to piece them together. Upon arriving to the island to investigate, he takes things to a detective level examining the strange bodies and trying to make sense of the situation. I find it strange how Cushing is playing another doctor after his potrayle of The Doctor in 1965's Doctor Who and the Daleks. In a sense, this does feel like a Doctor Who episode considering the amount of build up and where it leads. And to see Peter Cushing in a doctor role is ironic and interesting. On the other hand, he was with Hammer Films playing Dr. Frankenstein and Van Helsing so its no coincidence or guess to how good of a performance he gives.
Now let's talk about the monsters in this movie. And right now if you do have a weak stomach, turn back now because there is no way I can talk about the movie without this. Do you really want to know what's been making those boneless bodies? Are you really sure? Get a barf bag now because this gets heavy and spoiler-filled. Ready? Here we go.
It gets revealed that what the scientists created on accident was a strange set of creature called Sillicates. Giant blobs that suck the bones out of human being dry. To describe the appearance, picture a mutated ravioli with a single tentacle wagging about. It doesn't get anymore simple or cheesy than that. Silly as that description sounds on paper, its executed very creepy. The sounds of the bones getting sucked out is really horrifying to listen to. But it pushes the gross factor more when we see these giant amoebas can multiply by mitosis. You heard me right! Monsters that can reproduce by the rate of a scientific germ. But they don't just separate by any common way. When they split apart, they leave being a mass of strange goo that has stuff like looks like a mix of chicken noodle soup and maggots. Its really nasty.
As stated before, the creatures may look and sound goofy but the added sound effects really amps the fear. This is thanks to Barry Gray who did a lot of sound work for Gerry Anderson's puppet shows like Stingray. When you hear that strange humming sound the sillicates make, you know trouble is coming. It's very reminiscent of the sounds the spaceships make in George Pal's War of the Worlds adaption. For a cheaply made movie, it knows when to be frightening and build terror in the right spots. Sometimes it can be questionable goofy but for 1966 this was really shocking. A good example is a really horrifying scene when one of the characters as a sillicant's tentacle wrapped around his left hand. And in order to save his life, his partner has to lob off the poor guy's hand at the wrist. Its a gruesome idea and surprisingly we the gory impact as blood spurts out. Even more shocking is how this movie aired on Svengoolie and showed this scene intact minus the blood spurt. And its not like they do a cutaway or anything. We actually see the ax come down on the hand and cut it off. And again, I do apologize for describing this scene in deep detail as I can. But this very much sums up the whole movie.
In fact, for most of the horror films of the time, I'm surprised to see Island of Terror never got that fame or infamy it deserves. Its a suspenseful feature that relies on sound and visuals to achieve its horror. Maybe it did seeing it does have a small cult following but I feel its not very big. Or perhaps it doesn't much talk because of the horrific material despite how small it is in does. Or gets shrugged off seeing it came form a time when B-movies of the 1960s would craft this kind of schlock. I plead in defense that is a very different movie than what would one would expect. It doesn't sugar coat anything which I'm glad it does and seems to be very bold for the time. The only drawback is that it falls into the category of "science gone wrong" which was a popular story trope of the time making it a tad predicable. But it can be clever with its choice of monster and the performances are very good, so my recommendation is very high for this one. Again for sensitive viewers, if you made it past this point and curious enough to see this movie, I won't stop you. Just make sure your very close to the bathroom for this one or else you will see something far more gross on your living room rug by the end of the movie…know what I mean?
Horror-Wood Blog-a-Thon: Horror of Dracula
Across the pond lies another movie studio that made an impact on the horror industry. They were known as the Hammer Horror Films. Unlike Universal where the shock was in black and white, theses movies from the UK didn't hold back. They were in color, increased the violence, cranked up the sex appeal and not to mention adding an element the Universal Monster franchise was missing; blood. And each film relished in showing it. Back then, this was fairly new and shocking to see such edgy material for the late 1950s.
While Curse of Frankenstein was the first one to kick off this wave of gruesome infamy, Horror of Dracula (or Dracula if you live in the UK) perfected this choice of entertaining terror. Even right from the opening shot with blood dripping on Dracula's coffin, you know what your in for. These movies were free of censorship (sort of) and sought to make their own iconic footprints. Rather than clone the classic Jack Pierce make-up or follow the story, Hammer Films made their horror movies with fresh and different takes even if did mean sacrificing certain liberties.
A good example is the story and how it adapts the original Dracula story. Those who are huge on "sticking to the source" might be disappointed as it takes elements from the Bram Stoker novel while twisting them into a different story altogether. John Harker (John Van Eyssen) still visits the Count but this time ends up getting turned into a vampire and sending out notes of his demise to Van Helsing. To me, this follows something like Pyscho did where the main character gets killed off after the first half of the feature. It plays with your expectations but again, some can be sticklers on sticking to the source. And personally, I think veering from the novel works here.
I know I have been deep on how an adaptation should stick close to the source but there is a right way and wrong way to do that. In some cases, one can take elements or ideas while utilizing them into something completely new and fresh. Phantom of the Paradise is a great example taking the story of Phantom of the Opera and giving it a rock musical quality with some Faust tossed in. Why make another film adaptation of a story that we already know when you can play with expectations? Heck, the 1931 Dracula was actually sourced from a Broadway play and less of the Bram Stoker novel. The Dracula mythos is so embedded deep into the public conscious that changing up really works here.
While Bela Lugosi left an impact, so does Christopher Lee. When we see him as Dracula, Christopher channels a lot of the gentleman traits while feeling hypnotic. He's very inviting and you almost want to take in his hospitality. But when the sun goes down, a different personality emerges. Now, Dracula becomes brutal and animalistic with blood dripping from his fangs and giving a predatory stare. Surprisingly, I found a lot more terror from Christopher Lee's portrayal than I did with Lugosi's take. On the downside, he doesn't get much speaking parts and his appearance is downplayed. But his visual expression and appearance still leave a huge impact. When he kills his victims, he doesn't say a word and jumps right to his satisfaction.
Peter Cushing also gives a great performance as Van Helsing who seeks to destroy Dracula while convincing Arthur Holmwood (Micheal Gough) that his sister and lover are the vampire's next entrees. Peter will always be chilling and engaging no matter what role he will be in. His take of Helsing is intimidating and doesn't mess about. He knows what monster he is going against and tries to remain one step ahead while remembering the fanged fiend's weaknesses. Even more ironic how previously, Cushing was Dr. Frankenstein and yet Christopher Lee was his monstrous creation. Interesting to see how the roles are similar yet different.
Again, the positive is how faithful it remains to the novel while adding some new material to keep it fresh. Harker is very much a minor character that keeps the story going while Lucy gets the first to be a vampire. In the novel, her character as sweet tooth hunger for younger kids and the movie manages to keep it in without being blunt about it. Its creepy and unsettling while never forcing the aspect too much. Sadly, the only major cut is the character of Renfield, Dracula's demented servant. It would have been nice to have at least a little nod to the crazy assistant but the movie still works fine without him. Its a deletion that I do miss but what can you do?
The ending is another huge highlight as it builds and builds. Even if its a short climax, it feels really engaging as Helsing and Dracula square off against each other. But perhaps iconic about this finale is that we get to see a vampire decay under the sunlight. And I mean really decay! No fades into a skeleton. Dracula decomposes and gets cooked to a cindering crisp. Its not nasty as you think but its a very cool yet haunting special effect and a testament to how great practical effects can be. But as it turns out, some extra limb decay and a shot of Dracula clawing at his rotted face was considered too gross for 1958 and was cut. These shots were deemed missing until 2012 when they were restored into the movie thanks to an uncut print found in Japan. The good news is that a copy of this cut exists but the bad news is that the Blu-Ray is Region B, meaning you have to live in the UK or own a universal Blu-ray player that can read international DVDs and Blu-Rays. Regardless, its nice to hear some lost history finally rediscovered.
Bottom line, Horror of Dracula doesn't trump the power of any other incarnation but offers its own take. And that is a good thing. I would rather have another Dracula movie try new things out than rather be a straight telling of the novel. This is a perfect fit that not only respects the source but also gives a new representation of the Count that is new and scary. Its well shot, has great performances and grabs your attention from beginning to end. I do wish Christopher Lee was given a bit more to do or at least play around with his "gentleman" personality. But he still gives an edgy take that is iconic, memorable and its easy to see why.

My recent chat with author Janice Holly Booth regarding her recent book "A Voice out of Nowhere: Inside the mind of a mass murderer" left me a bit rattled. The thought that a psychopathic mass murderer could be living right next door to me in plain site and I wouldn't even know it is the stuff of nightmares. This is the kind of thought that grabs hold of you and a bottle of Melatonin pills and perhaps even a couple of horse tranquilizers simply are simply no match for. So I decided to do a little Googling and see if I was just overthinking things. Clearly this was a bad idea.

Amazon 'Work at Home' Scam Promises Big Payouts
Hackers are spoofing the popular shopping site to steal personal data.
A 'work at home' scam circulating over the past several months promises significant earning potential with only a few hours of work each day. Hackers used phone calls and SMS messages to contact potential victims telling them Amazon was hiring remote work-from-home employees and directing them to apply on fake websites.
dfndr lab, the research team behind the dfndr security app, discovered over 1M detections in the first month of Q3 (July-Sept) for this bogus employment opportunity.
The scam is designed to prey on people looking to make easy money working from home using a well-known and trusted brand name and promised the opportunity to earn up to $500 daily working part-time. Scammers directed applicants to one of several fake sites that either used variations of the Amazon name such as amazonhiring.org or amazoncareers.co. Some sites were more generic such as stockretail.org, suggesting the opportunity was through a third-party recruiter.
The goal of the scam was to trick applicants into giving out sensitive information such as social security numbers and banking information. The hackers used to two methods to collect this information. The first was to try to trick those that applied into voluntarily entering personal information into online applications. The second tactic used SMS links containing phishing malware designed to gain access to passwords and other information.
You can always use dfndr security's anti-hacking feature to check any suspicious links. Anti-hacking proactively alerts you to malware-infected links even before you click them. Additionally, dfndr lab offers a free link checker. Visit: https://www.psafe.com/dfndr-lab/
Our security team at dfndr lab compled tips to keep you safe and aware:
1. Watch out for red flags. Look to see if the website appears to be official. Amazon.com has an employment section on its official site so you should be suspicious of alternate web addresses.
2. Beware of alterations or misspellings of the brand name. A web address containing extra words such as "jobs," "careers," "opportunities," or other similar phrases is an indicator of possible fraudulent promises. Also, be skeptical of sites ending in .co, .org, .biz, or other non-.com suffixes.
3. Be suspicious of any offer that sounds too good to be true. Amazon recently announced it was going to raise it's starting pay to $15.00. The promise of making hundreds of dollars in a single day for a short amount of time doesn't sound realistic. If in doubt, you can contact the company at an officially listed phone number or email address for verification.

I had the opportunity to review a .pdf copy of the Successful Homeschooling Made Easy Course by Stephanie Walmsley of Successful Homeschooling Made Easy.
Raising children is already quite the task. Once you add homeschooling into the mix, the task of raising children becomes that more challenging. I mean really, taking your children from zero knowledge to something other than that could not be that difficult.
If you are a current homeschooler, you know the challenge is real. If you are a new homeschooler, you may or may not know what you are heading into as you begin your journey.
"And by the end of the course you will be a confident and successful homeschooler." ~ Stephanie Walmsley
In 1985, Stephanie Walmsley, was a new homeschool mom. By the time she completed home educating her last child, she had successfully homeschooled five children. The success did not come without a lot of lessons learned. From her experience Walmsley has written a 26-week course, online course she hopes will help any homeschooler, from the novice to the seasoned one. Walmsley does not attempt to shape your school or how you conduct it, but rather shares the details that helped her eventually successfully homeschool her children.
I received the first four lessons up front only because of the review. If you subscribe to Successful Homeschooling Made Easy, you will immediately receive the first lesson and future lessons are e-mailed to you once a week for the remaining 25 weeks. There are no additional purchases required. Walmsley provides you everything you need over the weeks of the course.
You do not have to, but I would suggest printing the sheets for each lesson. Creating a successful homeschool environment does not come without study and quiet times. There are writing assignments in the lessons and you want to be able to spend time with your responses that work towards creating the successful environment.
Even after homeschooling for more than five years, one of my biggest struggles comes from creating a schedule that works for the way we school. I had one that worked well when my children were younger, because there was less that had to be accomplished. As they continue to rise in grade level, figuring out how to educate everyone, and then with children on different grade levels is hard.
Walmsley had me create an eight-week schedule in lesson one. We do not normally school on an eight–week schedule, but anything that could lead me to a more orderly day was worth the effort. Since we start out summer session next week, I worked on creating a schedule for that period. It looks great on paper, but we will see how well it actually works for us in the next few weeks.
Lesson six touched on a neglected "subject", the homeschool mom. It promotes "fulfilling your dreams" and to "take care of your children's mother." The point of "nurturing and developing my own growth" is something I have finally started giving more attention to. That is not with any discount to my children.
Some of the other topics covered in the lessons are teaching, housekeeping and extracurricular activities. Those are general topics in which Walmsley goes more into detail, which really makes the program worth reading and learning from.
You may prefer to have all of the lessons in hand, but there is a method to the way Walmsley presents her lessons. Being able to spend at least one week of time on each lesson will likely ensure you have properly implemented the new information she covers. There may be a book she wants you to read, questions to answer or other. Success is not rushed.
All of the suggestions and tips Walmsley shares may or may not work for your family, but one thing that is for sure, you want to at least read her ideas, because Walmsley even offers a 30-day 100 percent money-back guarantee.
Successful Homeschooling Made Easy Course is $10 a month or you may receive a 20 percent discount by paying in full at the time of registration and paying only $48.

|Here's a question for you...
Considering the fact that the Bible says that the wages of
sin is death, what would be the outcome of humanity, if
Jesus had decided NOT to die on the cross?
Of course,this is a hypothetical question because God knew the end
from the beginning before He ever started creating. But having to come

Services Offered: Third Party Analytics
Channels: Instagram
Back in June, Unilever's Chief Marketing Officer, Keith Weed, declared that influencer marketing was broken, and he had some ideas on how to fix it. The biggest problem he identified was fraud: in a market where the number of followers determines value, it's no surprise that there are some ethically challenged influencers buying fakes to raise their price. And with measures of engagement equally or more important than reach, bots that like and comment on posts can drive fees even higher.
He's not wrong, of course, and it isn't exactly a secret that influencers are gaming the system on their behalf. But we're only really starting to learn just how bad the problem is. The analytics firm Points North Group released a list of top 10 brands paying influencers to advertise to people who don't exist. Number 10 on the list is beauty brand Olay: 19% of their influencers' followers are fakes. At Number 1 is Ritz-Carlton, which learned that 72% of the people they thought they were reaching were...let's just say "unreachable."
Weed detailed a three point plan for how the industry as a whole needs to improve, but none of what he says matters nearly as much as his vow to not work with influencers who've bought followers. When someone with a $7bn marketing budget draws a line in the sand like that, the influencer marketing industry will listen. Dishonest influencers, poorly vetted platforms, and agencies that work with either are automatically excluded from getting their hands on any piece of that budget. That's enough of an incentive for the industry to start correcting itself.
But how will they do that? If you're particularly sharp, you can poke around an influencer's profile for an hour or so, check out some historical data on follower and engagement growth, and look at the accounts behind some of the more questionably-human comments. That'll give you enough of a basis to make an educated guess on their authenticity, and chances are you'll be right. Sure, you could do this—spending 60 or so minutes to get enough information to make a guess for which you have a good chance of getting it right—and then do it for every influencer you're working with, too. OR, you could use some software that tells you everything you need to know, takes a few seconds to do so, and is way more accurate than you could ever hope to be.
If option two sounds better, then HypeAuditor is the software to do it for you. Unlike most influencer marketing platforms, there's no discovery or campaign management to find here. HypeAuditor is actually the result of a pivot away from that model. The company founded an IM marketplace in 2016 and struggled to gain any real traction in the marketplace. As CEO Aleksandr Frolov ever so humbly explained, "We looked at what we were doing versus what everyone else was doing. And we found that we were not so good." The team re-grouped to identify what was working, and started to understand that they excelled at the tech side of things—especially around data and analytics. While they continued to improve the product, HypeAuditor became the natural evolution of this realization.
By 2017, HypeAuditor became its own entity—a vast database powered by artificial intelligence that's indexed nearly 3 million Instagram profiles so far, and continues to grow every day. Fraud ID is enough of an attraction, but the analytics go deeper than that, giving brands and agencies very detailed insights into influencers and their audiences.
HypeAuditor works on a Pay-As-You-Go model, no subscription required. You pay for tokens up front, and each token gets you one influencer report. The more tokens you buy, the cheaper the price:
- 1 to 100 tokens: $1.99/each
- 101 to 500: $1.59/each
- 501 to 1,000: $1.27/each
- 1,001 to 5,000: $1.19/each
- 5,001 or more: $0.72/each
You get all the data on all reports, regardless of the number of tokens you buy at once. But if you've bought into the 5,000+ package, you get access to some nice premium features:
- Custom Integrations with your existing software tools through APIs
- Custom subdomain for sharing reports with partners and clients
- White labeled reports to include your brand or agencies name and logo
- Dedicated customer support
The Details
HypeAuditor was purpose built for fraud detection, but that seems like an understatement. The platform analyzes influencer profiles, digs deep into each audience, and is generally on the lookout for the kinds of data—like suspicious spikes in follower growth, or bot-generated comments—that can expose fraud. But the developers took things a step further by flipping the premise of fraud detection on its head: the point of identifying fake or ghost followers is not to punish them, but to understand the the actual quality of the audience as a whole. So, really, that's what HypeAuditor is focused on: audience quality.
By doing it this way, the platform provides a much more valuable service than if it were just a simple way of spotting fraud. There are 28 different metrics and scores, giving users a thorough understanding of who they're dealing with. It all starts with the Audience Quality Score (AQS).
Scored on a scale of 1 to 100, the AQS gives a quick way to judge an influencer's actual value. Anything over 70, they tell you, is someone that you can feel comfortable with: this is an influencer whose audience is made of predominantly real people who are authentically engaged. Between 40 and 70 will merit further investigation. The score applies to the overall audience, but when you dig deeper using HypeAuditor, you may find—even if there's a high number of fake followers—that the authentic ones are still passionate and engaged and worth reaching. In this case, the AQS gives brands empirical data with which they can use to negotiate more realistic fees. Why pay to reach a million followers when only 600,000 of them are real people (and only half of those are actually paying attention)? This is where the 27 other data points come into play.
You'll look at their followers to get some basic audience demographics, like their geography and gender. But you'll also get an assessment of how many of them are "quality" followers—giving you a more accurate forecast of what that influencer's reach is. One of the more unique data points is "Follower Reachability." This is the number of followers in this audience that follow less than 1500 other accounts—the more accounts they follow, the less likely they'll ever scroll past your content in their Instagram feed. Further, you'll see their engagement rate, but then you'll also get a quality score on that, too. Likes and comments aren't always from real people, and you'll see the breakdown of the engagement.
You might have noticed in that screenshot another of the nice little touches you can find on HypeAuditor, and that's the context given to each score/assessment. Above, you can see that the engagement rate is 5.94%, while you're also told that similar accounts average far below that. Below that, you can see that the Authentic Engagement is rated as "Excellent," and then you're shown real numbers detailing how much of it came from real people, from bots, etc—and then you're given the comparison to other, similar accounts. With nearly 3 million accounts indexed already, that's a big enough sample size to feel confident in HypeAuditor's accuracy. And that's only going to get more accurate over time: you can search any Instagram account you want and if it's not already in the database, then you just added it by searching for it. It'll take a bit longer—maybe up to an hour at the worst—to get the report because it's a lot of information to index, parse, and analyse. But so long as the account has more than 1,000 followers, the AI will pull down the info and then learn from it.
This feature is also helpful for users to monitor their own Instagram accounts, a great way to monitor the overall health of your social presence. Just add your own handle in the "My Report" section, and you're given the same information you can see for anyone else. You'll also receive weekly email updates giving a summary of your activity.
HypeAuditor's only real downside is that it's pretty limited when working with groups as a whole. All the reports you get for each influencer can be found in the "Reports" tab, and from there you can organise these into lists. But there's really not much you can do with them. You'll be given the sum of their quality followers and authentic engagements at the top of the list, and then you'll see each influencer listed with some basic stats.
That's a good starting point, but it's in need of a better ending. Being able to get a full report that aggregates all their audiences would be incredibly useful.
HypeAuditor doesn't have too many direct competitors out there at the moment. Many platforms will provide some of the same data used to identify fraud, but it's still incumbent on the user to do the research and make the determination. Those that are automating fraud prevention aren't doing it to the same level. Because HypeAuditor comes at the question from a different perspective—mainly, how good is an influencer's audience, instead of how bad—they're coming up with more answers than anyone. You only need a few bits of info to determine an audience is fake; you need much more than this to demonstrate their quality.
It would be great to see the developers add some more data and functionality to the lists feature. It's currently pretty new, anyway, so it's safe to expect that these will get more robust. But I wouldn't expect to see them offer much more than that and run the risk of bloat. I like that HypeAuditor is built for one thing—determining audience quality. That it was built and offered as a separate product and the company has another IM related product called Aurora—is promising. You don't necessarily have to get bigger to get better, and the HypeAuditor folks obviously understand that.

On January 29, 1958 President Dwight Eisenhower attended funeral services in Kansas City for his elder brother Arthur Eisenhower. The services were presided over by Rev. Donald O'Connor and lasted about 25 minutes.
Mr. O'Connor made particular reference to these passages from the book of John: "Jesus said…..I am the resurrection, and the life; he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live; and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die."
Rev. O'Connor was the minister at Seattle Unity from 1948 to 1955. In 1955 Rev. O'Connor and his wife Dorothy returned to Kansas City to work at the Unity School of Christianity.
Donald and Dorothy O'Connor returned to Seattle Unity in the late 50's and were the ministers who oversaw the building of Seattle Unity's current church building.

I was walking around the library, looking for something to read over the long weekend, and I saw this cute book. It had a cheery, bright colored cover and a cute title. What could go wrong?
Seriously, I was almost a third of the way through this, thinking to myself that although it was a quick, easy read, I really wasn't enjoying it, and it was driving me crazy that it reminded me of something. I finally realized that it was by the same author as last year's Dear Mr. Knightley, a book that I had high hopes for, but that failed me in the end.
This book gives me similar feels.
Lucy is a 20-something who lives in Chicago, and works in a super-popular antique /interior design shop. She is in charge of all of the rare books in the store, and everything that comes out of her mouth is book-related. She speaks in book quotes and compares everything to things that happened in books written hundreds of years ago. To me, this doesn't seem realistic or healthy. But I went with it.
Lucy has a meet cute with James, who is shopping for his grandmother. They fall in love, talk about books, and then suddenly break up with James finds out that Lucy has a kind of awful and unforgivable secret.
But James' grandmother takes a liking to Lucy, and brings her along on a shopping trip to London and the British countryside. Weird and contrived, I know. But still, I went with it.
And in the end, all is forgiven, and everyone has learned an important life lesson about themselves and their loved ones because LITERATURE. And this is where I couldn't take it anymore.
Lucy was an abhorrent character. There was literally nothing about her that made me like her. She was manipulative and shady and I never once felt bad for her that she was dumped by James. I did feel bad that she had been abandoned by her con-man father, but it seemed like her mother was a strong woman who did her best by Lucy. And Lucy didn't seem to appreciate that one bit.
What I did love about this book is all of the tidbits of information I learned about literary England. As Lucy toured Bloomsbury and Westminster Abbey in London, the moved north to the Brontes' home up in Haworth, and finishing up in Bowness on Windermere, I googled along every step of the way. I learned about the Bronte family, Beatrix Potter, T.S. Eliot, and C.S. Lewis. And I'm glad that I did, as some of the stories were fascinating, and the scenery was beautiful.
Katherine Reay has a third book — once again about young women obsessed with classic literature, but this time with CANCER. I think I'll skip it.

So I honestly am not sure if I've read this book or not but my boyfriend & I saw this book the other week. He's read the book and absolutely loved it so we had an impromptu date night and saw this in theatres. We originally wanted to see it in IMAX because #goals but the theatre we had didn't have that option, unfortunately.
Anyway, the movie was sappy, adorable, and well done. It's set in the year 2045ish and follows the protagonist, Wade Watts, as he and his fellow people basically forget their real lives and live in a virtual world where they can be anybody. Nobody really lives in the real world anymore because it's a sad state of affairs and as we all know currently, things are easier when you can forget your problems and be somebody else for a while. It's addicting, frankly.
But in this online world, the creator of this viral online world — who apparently has become some sort of god — dies unexpectedly. Without anyone to really hand over the reigns of his company, he creates a seemingly impossible contest to figure out who'll become the next CEO/owner. Some people, like Wade, get super into the contest because they want to change the world, and other people want to own it to seemingly control the world for better or worse — emphasis on the latter.
The movie follows Wade and a group of his friends as they try to win the contest and take on an evil corporation. The real-life parallels in the movie are eerie at times but it's really well done. I'm not sure how it compares to the book but I'm sure there were parts that were either embellished or left out for the sake of creativity and movie feel goods. But it is really good and as with any post-apocalyptic takes on society, it makes you think just how much you rely on technology and neglect your real life relationships.
So in the spirit of this movie, take a minute and get offline. Call somebody you haven't in a while and remind people that you're an actual human being. It just might surprise you how much an honest connection can do for your soul.
Any other movies I should be seeing?!

The Struggle for Land and The Fate of The Forests
Deforestation, they tell us, is caused by 'poverty', 'over-population' and 'under-development'. The solutions are therefore obvious-fewer people and more development. This book challenges these assumptions. Deforestation, it argues, is an expression of structural inequalities within tropical countries and in their relations with the industrial North. Throwing aid money into the development pot will only accelerate forest loss if these structural issues are not simultaneously addressed. Based on six country studies from Latin America, Asia and Africa to illustrate the real complexity of the problem and the diversity of situations that exist, this book shows how land concentration, land speculation and landlessness are the main causes of improvident land use. Poor people, denied land and livelihood, are being forced into the forests in ever increasing numbers for sheer survival, often encouraged by government and development agency funding. Meanwhile the lands they have been forced to abandon are turned over to agribusiness producing cash crops for export.
Agrarian reform must be moved to the top of the global agenda. Without land and food security, rural communities will become increasingly destabilised and impoverished and vulnerable ecosystems will be destroyed. Local people must be allowed to regain control over their land and their economies, and Third World debt cancelled.

There is still a big part of me that just wants to travel. I've spent a good few hours in Doris over the past week, fixing things, fitting a new mattress (IKEA double replacing the two Hymer single foam ones) and making stuff for Jen using her as a workshop. Whilst we live in the least complicated of houses – 5 rooms, one of which is a bathroom/loo, there is something about the simplicity of vanlife that shouts loudly. You are restricted to what you can do domestically, so you spend your time outside … or just reading, or similar. In a house, even one as small as ours, there's something to do. Something to paint, to clean. Moreover, if you do sit and read, something is nagging at you … 'why are you sat there. Do something!'.
In a van the vista changes. There is always a different view, one which you never tire of, because if you do you move on. I spent ages just staring out of Doris's huge front window, with a pair of binos in hand. And sleeping is cocoon-like. Her double bed is raised to allow for a garage. It's big, but the low ceiling feels comfortable. Like being back in the womb … Freud and Oedipus springs to mind.
So why aren't we travelling? What's stopping us parking up on the Costa Notalot and browning our knees? Good question. I suppose part of it is recharging the whole travelling bug batteries … probably more for C than me. Second are the work and family commitments we have here. Of course we only have one shot at this life, and we would be on the spot at the time of crisis when we were needed. But Jen's business, my parents etc are all good reasons to apply the handbrake. But are the great reasons? At the moment, yes, especially as we are planning 2.5 weeks in Scotland just before Easter, and our 6-weeks in SE Asia (not in the van) over the summer. But I do feel a long trip coming up. Ten weeks would be good – Brexit dependent. We'll see what 2020 looks like.
We've had snow here, more than most places. Thursday was a beautiful white out. Friday more of the same, with Cassie (who is now back with Jen and James) enjoying the snow. Yesterday was beautifully clear as was today with the snow and ice lingering on. It's warmer now and more so tomorrow. Good because I'm up with Jen Monday/Tuesday then off to Mary's Wednesday for a day at my Farnham school Thursday … then Mum and Dad's for the weekend. All good.
And the books? Well, C has finished Book 5 and likes it … which is a good sign as she does have a habit of telling me when it's not so. I'm a fifth of the way through edit 2 and I've started to prime my beta readers for a look-see at the end of Feb. If that goes well I've got a couple of months for a proofread, blurb writing and prepping the cover. And, all being well, it'll be on the shelves in July as always. Then …
… book 6? Why not?

Wide receiver Kenny Stills handled a couple of different roles last Sunday and he's ready to do it again against the Buffalo Bills if called upon.
After Danny Amendola sustained a knee injury, Stills moved from his outside receiver position into the slot and later was asked to field a punt, something he said Wednesday he hadn't done since his days at the University of Oklahoma.
Head Coach Adam Gase said it would be "a bonus" if it turned out Amendola was able to play against the Bills, so the logical assumption is that Stills again will be in the slot and used as a punt returner.
"I feel like throughout my career I have experience on the inside and the outside," Stills said. "If you look at charts of where I've caught balls, in particular last year, a lot of it was coming from the slot. I take pride in knowing all of the positions and doing whatever they ask me to do, so when a guy goes down, you've got to go out there and put yourself in position to make plays. I feel like I can get open from anywhere. It's just a matter of protecting and getting the ball out there."
Stills had nine punt returns during his time at Oklahoma, all of them coming in his freshman and sophomore years. He fair-caught the one punt he fielded against the Colts last Sunday.
But Stills said Wednesday he's been fielding punts his whole life.
"Yeah, it's funny; my dad texted me after the game and he said, 'Good job fielding punts' and just reminding me that I've been doing that since I was a little kid," said Stills, whose father played six seasons (1985-90) in the NFL. "I really remember from the time I've ever been on the field and my dad being a coach, just kind of running out there and catching punts. It didn't matter if it was when he was coaching the XFL or NFL Europe or wherever. I was always out (there), the young kid on the field catching punts. For me, it's fun to be back there. Hopefully this week I get an opportunity to kind of make something shake and actually return the ball."
O'Leary observation: Tight end Nick O'Leary will be facing Sunday the team with which he spent his first three NFL seasons before joining the Dolphins in September, but he told a reporter this was just another game for him. That much should have been expected from O'Leary, whose stoic nature has been well documented since he arrived in South Florida. That was reinforced when Head Coach Adam Gase was asked Wednesday whether he noticed anything different this week with O'Leary getting ready to face the team that waived him Sept. 1. "I mean," Gase said with a smile, "I haven't noticed any change in him since the day he got here." O'Leary has seven catches for 77 yards and a touchdown in seven games (four starts) with the Dolphins and Gase says he's been pleased with his work. "He keeps doing a good job in the run game," Gase said. "He's been open in the pass game; the ball just hasn't gone to him. He's done a really good job. His blocking has really been strong for us, helped us in the run game a lot. Pass protection same thing. When we throw him the ball, he's reliable."
QB conversation: Gase has stayed true to his declaration early in the season that he was planning on keeping three quarterbacks on the active roster all season, and he said Wednesday he never considered deviating from the plan this year despite all the roster changes necessitated by injuries. "I don't look at it as a luxury," Gase said. "That's what we're going to do. If we find guys we like, we're going to keep trying to develop them and spend as much time with those guys as we can. The last three years we've lost quarterbacks. We just gotta keep finding guys that we like and try to develop them. I don't know how to explain it. It just kind of worked out to where it hasn't been really a discussion or a worry." Ryan Tannehill and Brock Osweiler have seen action this season, while David Fales has yet to play. Luke Falk was a fourth quarterback on the active roster before he was placed on injured reserve with a wrist injury. Gase says he's liked what he's seen from Fales in practice. "To me, I like David's anticipation. I like the way his brain works, the way he sees things. He like what he does in practice, what we see every day. I like the way that he just keeps coming along, just keeps working."
Harris hustle: Defensive end Charles Harris made his return to the lineup against the Colts and played 31 snaps. Gase said he was happy with the 2017 first-round pick's performance in contributing beyond stats. "I thought he did a good job," Gase said. "He played with great energy. He was playing fast. There's a lot of good things … he did a lot of the dirty work, which is something we've noticed, especially at practice. We're seeing him doing a lot of things in the run game that looks really good. He's been very reliable. Since he's been back, he seems stronger, he seems thicker. I know he spent a lot of time in the weight room when he was hurt because he couldn't do anything as far as running as much as he wanted to. He was real excited to get back and every game … he's a high-energy guy for us."
QB kudos: Cornerback Xavien Howard got two picks off Colts quarterback Andrew Luck, which was one more interception than Luck had thrown in his previous four games combined. So Luck made it a point to reach out to Howard after the game. "He was like, 'Man, where did you get your hands from?' " Howard said Wednesday. "We just started laughing, joking up like that, but he gave me props after the game." Luck joined Trevor Siemian, Tom Brady and Derek Carr as quarterbacks intercepted twice in the same game by Howard.

If you would like to read my review of the last episode, click here.
Synopsis: While in the exam area of St. Bonaventure Hospital, Dr. Shaun Murphy encounters a young patient who looks eerily similar to his deceased brother, Steve. After discovering his parents have hidden his diagnosis from him, Shaun struggles to understand why he doesn't deserve to hear the truth about his own health. Meanwhile, the team can't figure out what keeps triggering their patients' increasingly severe allergic reactions and races to find the cause before the next one kills another patient. (IMDB)
Writer: David Hoselton
Director: Larry Teng
Rating: TV-14
Running Time: 41mins
Over the course of now five episode, this show for the most part has been getting better and better as we learn more about Murphy and how he learns from his past while also seeing him in action. It was because of this that this episode is the best so far.
The episode starts off with a man visiting his father after a six month absence. The father then suffered anaphylactic shock and collapsed. Back at the hospital, Murphy actually arrived on time that day because he took a teleportation device. The team was tasked for a consult for the father's intense abdominal pain which they believed came from something in his pancreas.
Murphy, however, was more interested in a child named Evan with a broken arm that looked exactly like his dead brother Steve. Murphy decided to work on Evan's case (I guess he's allowed to). Evan had a similar personality to Steve. He kept making jokes that Murphy didn't catch onto right away but he eventually picked up on it. Glassman saw Evan and immediately made the connection to Steve which freaked him out though it didn't for Murphy.
While performing a CT scan on Evan, Evan made another joke about it not being his first time and Murphy explained to him that he had autism and that it was hard for him to pick up social cues. Evan talked about knowing someone who had autism who was weird but nice though he died. Evan asked Murphy if he knew anyone who died and he mentioned his brother. Evan had other CT scans because his parents had nosophobia which was the irrational fear of contracting a disease. Evan asked him about his life and if he was seeing someone which became a fun exchange. Murphy also found out that he had a brain tumor which could have caused Evan's clumsiness.
When speaking with Evan's parents, he told them about the tumor but they already knew that he was sick since he had bone cancer and that he had five more months to live. His parents also told him that Evan didn't know about his diagnosis and that they didn't want Murphy to tell him. Murphy asked Glassman for advice. He believed that Evan wanted to know the truth, referencing a flashback to where Steve wanted to know his birthday present, but Glassman wondered if he was projecting Steve onto him. Glassman reminded him that ultimately, it was up to his parents.
Murphy asked Browne to share the results or pretty much lie to Evan and his family. Evan picked up on how Murphy was looking at Browne and wondered if they were romantically involved but Murphy claimed that they were just coworkers. He also called him out on his lying ability and though that he should learn to do it better as it was a real social skill. Evan gave him a lesson which led to Murphy telling him that he had cancer but Evan already knew. He had done research and figured it out on his own.
Evan was okay with dying as long as the dying part didn't hurt. Murphy believed it was because he thought he'd go to heaven but Evan told him it was because he didn't. It was easier for him to think that everything was random and that when it was over, it was over. The conversation shifted to Murphy's love life which definitely helped to ease the tension.
The father had a lesion on his pancreas which could be benign or cancer. While performing a biopsy, another anaphylactic shock was triggered. They found that a popped cyst in his pancreas caused the allergic reaction and that any more popping cysts could kill him so the next step was to give him a MRI to try and find others if there are any. They later learned that the cysts were full of tapeworms and that he had a few in his body, including one in his brain. Luckily for him, Glassman was a famed brain surgeon.
Murphy was combing through Evan's medical records to try and find something that may have been missed. After hours of searching, he found that Evan could have another condition that was similar but is treatable. He just need to run another test to confirm, however, two earlier biopsies confirmed cancer and the likelihood of both being false positives was point three percent (hence the episode title).
Melendez was against him giving Evan's parents false hope though Murphy thought it was worth it so he asked Glassman for advice and he told Murphy that he should tell the parents that he was doing something else while running the test. When Murphy was about to perform the test, Evan knew he was lying but he was supportive. However, his parents came in and Murphy had to tell the truth about what he was doing. His parents were angry for giving Evan false hope. Evan then began to cough blood due to a pulmonary embolism.
Because Melendez thought he was too close to the case, he didn't let Murphy assist in the surgery. Glassman told him that he wouldn't be in trouble if he was right. They fixed the embolism but also lesions on his ribs that confirmed bone cancer. Evan told his parents that he knew he had cancer for a long time and it was okay. He then told him a lie about all his relatives that he will meet in heaven. Meanwhile, Glassman performed brain surgery on the father. He surrounded the cyst in his brain with saline and it popped out intact.
Murphy may have been wrong and Evan's parents hated him but Evan didn't. He asked him for a favor which involved him reading Evan part of To Kill a Mockingbird. Murphy gave Steve the book one year for his birthday and Murphy read the book from the point Steve left it before he died. Evan thought it was a good book.
Overall, this was an excellent episode despite the okay main case but what made it excellent was the case with Murphy and Evan. It became extremely emotional to watch because of Murphy's relationship with Steve which we got more of via some more flashbacks. He couldn't save Steve so he thought saving Evan could sort of make up for it. The two were very fun to watch together thanks to some great performances by Freddie Highmore and Dylan Kingwell.
Score: 9.5/10
