Whether you're an expat in Asia or were native born, hopefully you're doing more than hanging out in malls, cafes, and bars on the weekends.
Asia offers up some truly spectacular things to do—trail running in Hong Kong, mountain biking in the hills around Kuala Lumpur, snowboarding/skiing in Hokkaido, training in Muay Thai at an outdoor gym in Bangkok, scurrying out of Manila for the weekend to go scuba diving, you name it. There's really no excuse not to be outdoors. (Exceptions granted to those in Beijing or New Delhi.)
The magazine Action Asia has been documenting things to do and see across the region for going on over 20 years now. I can recall picking it up for the first time back in the mid '90s, and have been a loyal reader ever since. Practically impossible to look through its pages and not yearn to get out and do something.
Need a bit of motivation? Read about these five chicks in Asia who will kick your butt on land, sea, and air.
Afterward, Google is your friend. To help start you off in the right direction, maybe look up Hash House Harriers in your area—the "drinking group with a running problem"—or a biking group, fighting group, or whatever. There is something for everyone. Better yet, most of the time all you need to do is show up.
If you find yourself still in need of inspiration, or just want to learn a bit more about independent travel, there are a number of ideas right here on knowmadic news—hitchhike around Japan, trek China's Tiger Leaping Gorge, train for a month with Shaolin monks, or explore WWII sites in the Philippines are just a few.

Home > Patients & Visitors > Bioethics Consultation
Bioethics is the analysis of issues that arise in the healthcare setting. These are moral issues of health, life and death, related to patient care and treatment decision-making. The concerns of bioethics are the well-being and dignity of the patient, as well as matters of choice, rights and responsibilities of the patient, the family and caregiving team. Any matter relating to these issues is appropriate for a bioethics consultation.
Anyone involved in patient care—patient, family member or proxy agent, caregiver or staff member—with an ethical concern or problem can directly access the Bioethics Consultation Service. Bioethics consultations can be requested by contacting the Bioethics Consultation Service via email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Requests for consultation will be answered within 24 hours. Depending on the nature of the ethical problem, the bioethics consultant(s) may convene a conference of the patient's caregiving team and selected members of the ethics committee.
Modem healthcare presents issues that are often complex and troubling for patients, families and caregivers. This can result in uncertainty about the most appropriate course of action. Members of Stamford Hospital's Bioethics Consultation Service arc available to meet with patients, families or designated representatives and caregiving staff to help clarify and resolve these ethical dilemmas.
The following are ethical principles employed to resolve difficulties:
The Ethics committee at Stamford Hospital includes ethicists, physicians, nurses, social workers, patient representatives, clergy and risk managers. The committee is not a decision-making body, but rather a forum for study, review and advice. It meets on a regular and as-needed basis to:

Sinusitis (Sinus Infection) Causes
In most people, the cause of an acute sinus infection (sinusitis) is a virus. However, this is not always the case. Other causes include bacteria or even fungi. The specific cause of chronic sinusitis is unknown, but certain people have a higher chance of developing it, such as those with allergies, a weakened immune system, or an aspirin sensitivity.
What Causes Sinus Infections (Sinusitis)?Sinusitis is a medical term used to describe inflammation (swelling and irritation) of the sinuses. There are several different types -- the two most common are acute and chronic sinusitis. This article will look at what can cause each of these sinusitis types.
Acute Sinusitis CausesAcute sinusitis is diagnosed in people who have had symptoms for fewer than four weeks. Most often, this condition is caused by a virus (acute viral sinusitis) or bacteria (acute bacterial sinusitis).
- Rhinovirus
- Adenovirus
- Influenza virus
- Parainfluenza virus.
- Streptococcus pneumoniae
- Haemophilus influenzae
- Moraxella catarrhalis.

FCoin's FMex Is Launching Soon: The First Crypto Derivative Trading Platform For The Traders
If you have read my earlier Ethercraft post, then you know I have recovered my initial investment within the first 12 hours. Now I am earning a decent chunk of free Ethereum.
What I failed to explain was how to buy these items. I guess it was deliberate as I wanted to write a separate tutorial for newbies.
So in this post, you will learn how to transfer your Ethereum to your "new" wallet in your browser. And then use your browser to buy your first item(s) from Ethercraft.
Note: It's a fairly easy process. Yet I will explain in detail. If you have used MetaMask before, head over to the third step. Otherwise read everything.
Step #1: Know What MetaMask Is
You can't buy items from Ethercraft.io just like that. Moment you visit the website, you will most probably see a 404 error page or get this message:
"Account not detected. Please install MetaMask and try again."
To fix this problem, you need to get MetaMask. Don't worry – we won't go technical here. You can visit MetaMask to learn more.
But to put it simple: Metamask is a free extention that converts your normal browser into an Ethereum-supported browser. And that means you will be able to run all the Ethereum-based apps and perform transactions from your current browser.
Right now, MetaMask is available as an extension for Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, and Brave browser.
Once you have installed MetaMask (like any normal extension), it is time to set it up. You have to click on the MetaMask icon (fox) visible at the top-right corner of your browser.
Then add a password and store the private key somewhere safe – either online or offline.
Step #2: Transfer Ethereum To MetaMask
Now how do you transfer Ethereum to your MetaMask? Assuming you have stored your Ethereum on Bittrex, Binance, or Kucoin… this step is easy.
First, copy the MetaMask ETH address. You can do this by clicking the the MetaMask fox icon (top-right side in your browser). This opens a box as shown below. Then click on the three dots next to the Account and click "copy address to the clipboard."
After the MetaMask ETH address is copied, go back to your exchange and transfer Ethereum to this new address. Now wait for the Ethereum to appear in your MetaMask wallet (may take 1 to 10 min).
Step #3: Reload Ethercraft.io
From your browser, go back to Ethercraft.io and refresh the page. You can see a wide range of items with its price and the menu tabs – out of which, right now, Auction and Crafting menu are coming soon.
Clicking on the Shop menu takes you to the homepage, while the Inventory menu shows you the number of items you have purchased — which, at this point, is none.
Step #4: Buy Your Favorite Item
Depending on your budget, and your need, you can buy any item you want through the Shop menu. I have personally purchased lots of Crates and Merchant's Ehanted items as the returns were higher at that time.
Plus, I believe they will be useful when the game is launched.
You can click on each item to get more details. For example, shown below is a Merchant's Enchanted Amulet. It costs 0.25 ETH, and I will earn 0.001 ETH on every subsequent purchase.
I click on BUY and it connects to my MetaMask wallet, from which my Eth is withdrawn..
Note: There's no limit to the number of items you can purchase. You can also purchase the same item n number of times.
Step #5: Withdraw Ethereum Back To MetaMask
Say, for example, you have purchased a couple of items yesterday. Today, you go to the Inventory section. It will show you all the items. Here's mine:
Now I click on the items that has a red box (sometimes red $). It means these items have generated Ethereum and I can withdraw them.
From the above picture, you can see the "Uncommon Loot Crate" has generated 0.0055 ETH. I click on this blue Withdraw button and MetaMask pop up appears. I click Submit to get this Ethereum back into my MetaMask wallet.
That's it.
First, you saw what MetaMask is, and then installed it on your browser. Next you saw how to transfer Ethereum from an exchange to your new Metamask wallet.
You then saw how to buy your favourite Ethercraft item through the wallet. Later, you saw how easy it is to withdraw and enjoy your free Ethereum.
Let me know if you have any questions!

San Diego Unified School Board Trustees Kevin Beiser and Michael McQuary appeared poised for easy re-election early Wednesday as election returns arrived.
Eight-year board incumbent and teacher Beiser was leading with 71 percent of the vote against challenger and charter school board member Tom Keliinoi as of 1:45 a.m. Wednesday, with 73 percent of precincts reporting.
Michael McQuary, a four-year incumbent and retired teacher, was leading with 59 percent of the vote against challenger Marcia Nordstrom, a real estate professional.
Keliinoi and Nordstrom got onto Tuesday's ballot by qualifying as write-in candidates in the June primary election. Keliinoi received 2,763 votes and Nordstrom received 2,518 votes in June, compared to Beiser's 36,038 votes and McQuary's 29,447 votes.
During their campaigns, Beiser and McQuary highlighted academic achievements of the district as accomplishments and evidence of their leadership. They both have alluded to the district's 86.6 percent graduation rate for 2017, the highest among California's five largest urban school districts, and the district's recent gains in reading and math on the nation's report card, which were the largest among large urban school districts nationwide.
Meanwhile, Keliinoi and Nordstrom have said there is a need for change in the direction of the district, which is expected to need to make $41 million in budget cuts next year and has lost 5,100 district and charter students from 2007 to 2017.
Both Keliinoi and Nordstrom also oppose Measure YY, a $3.5 billion bond measure for the school district that was being considered by voters Tuesday. Beiser and McQuary support the bond measure.
Beiser represents District B, which includes the Patrick Henry, Serra and Scripps Ranch clusters. McQuary represents District C, which includes the La Jolla, Kearny, Mission Bay and Point Loma clusters.
Voters on Tuesday were also considering a three-term limit for the school board. Measure H would impose the limit on San Diego Unified School Board trustees beginning in 2020. Measure H was leading in early returns.

On Saturday I stayed close to home, driving out to Lorance Creek, a swampy area located less than 15 miles from downtown Little Rock. The trees around here have lost most of their fall colors and leaves already, so I wasn't expecting much when I got there. The creek is a part of the Arkansas Natural Heritage Commission, and has a short half-mile trail that leads to a boardwalk through a dense swamp.
A few of the cypress trees here still had some nice color, but most of them were already bare. The murky water was filled with fallen leaves...
And looking up at some of those cypress trees...
It was yet another sunny day, but the deep blue sky did look nice reflected in the water.
There wasn't much more to see in the swamp, so I turned by focus onto the neat boardwalk that stretches out above the water. I ended up with a lot more shots of the walkway than I did of the swamp itself.
And ok, just one more:
I gave up and made the short walk back to the car and tried to decide where to head next. Since I was so close to downtown, I thought I might hit up a few sights out there (no bridges, this time). More on that soon....

The Nazi educational system is used to mold children into Nazis: German children would often parrot their teacher's Nazi salute, as the Third Reich carefully subverted the educational system in order to mold children into loyal adult Nazis. School curricula reflected the Nazi line, blaming Jews and Marxists for Nazi Germany's woes. Biology courses taught the "reality" of Aryan racial superiority, while science courses focused on military themes.

Organised in conjunction with Everyone Active and sponsored by local companies Montezuma's Chocolates and Store Property; the Chichester Half Marathon Event has raised an incredible £100,000 for Children on the Edge since 2012. Children on the Edge support some of the world's most vulnerable children in countries including Uganda, Burma, Bangladesh and India.
This race is now in is sixth year and has grown in popularity year on year. It now attracts around 1000 runners. Often referred to as the 'Chi half', we offer three popular races; the Half Marathon, the Ten Miler and the Team Relay, all of which take runners through the tough multi-terrain course around Chichester city centre and over the beautiful South Downs.
This year, Children on the Edge want to raise £40 000 to support our work with refugee children; £8000 more than raised in 2016. To meet our ambitious target, we are calling for 1200 runners to take part and 100 fundraisers to commit to raise £100 each as part of the 'Run for Refugees' Team.
Children on the Edge Executive Director, Ben Wilkes said:
"The local support for the Chi Half event is incredible, including from many Chichester-based businesses, and we're so grateful to our runners who return year on year. We want a record number of people to take part in 2017 to help us raise £40 000 for our work with vulnerable children abroad. With three distances on offer; we hope that even more people will be able to join us on Sunday 8th October.
Money raised through fundraising and by people taking part in our races supports Children on the Edge projects around the world, including in Lebanon; where they run four tent schools for Syrian refugee children. These schools are located in the Bekaa Valley, in small refugee camps that are not serviced by the larger aid agencies. The schools employ teachers trained from with the refugee community itself and offer high-quality education in a safe place for nearly 500 children who have fled war and violence. Costing just £1 per child per day, they also allow the children a chance to play and just be children again.
Fundraisers who raise the target of £100 can cover the costs of sending 100 Syrian refugee children to school for a day in Lebanon, so your money really does go a long way.
All our fundraisers will get VIP support on the day plus a Team t-shirt when they start fundraising.
Sign up to a race and join the Run for Refugees Team or contact Amy Rook, our Fundraising Officer: firstname.lastname@example.com

10 Questions for Small Group Planning – 2
The second of our 10 Questions for Small Group Planning asks, "What will our groups do?"
Okay, slow down. This question doesn't dive into the types of groups or the activity schedules for group meetings. We're not quite ready for those questions yet. Instead, a deeper question must be asked first. What do we want our groups to accomplish? Perhaps another way to ask is, "What will be accomplished through our small group ministries if we are successful?"
You see, many pastors and church leaders launch into small group efforts without a clear sense of how they will judge success. We want small groups…well, we know we're supposed to have them…but what are they really supposed to do?
How would you finish this sentence? "Our small groups will be successful when…" Some will answer "…when everyone is in a small group." Okay, that's a great goal, especially if small groups are your primary discipleship strategy. But getting 100% participation is a lofty target, to say the least. Still, if you're building a small group plan that aims at unanimous participation, you need to know that before you get started.
How about, "We will be successful when…there is a group available to everyone." Here, the focus isn't on the level of participation, but focuses instead on opportunity. This goal challenges us to develop groups that can have wide appeal and make room for those with special needs or circumstances. For this goal, hearing someone say, "There's nothing for me," means we're missing our chosen mark.
For some churches, small groups exist for relationship building. Often called "Connect Groups" these get-togethers have a very important goal–to help people connect with one another and, thus, feel more connected to the church.
For others, discipleship and learning are the primary target. Here, the groups are more content focused than relationally intentional. What we learn ranks a bit higher than who we're learning with in these type of groups.
Now, relational groups will have learning moments and discipleship groups will offer relationships too, but it's critical to know the primary goal of every group. If your goal is discipleship, you'll want to evaluate the group primarily by that criteria. If you are targeting connection, then relationships must come before other goals and each group should be judged according to that primary standard.
Of course, you can have groups with different purposes. Some may target relational connection while others offer more intensive study. The point is to articulate your hopes for each group so you can aim your efforts most effectively.
Once you know what you want your small groups to do, you can identify the "wins" you'll want to celebrate. Celebrating is very important. It keeps people encouraged and continually propels them toward the goals of the group. Without a clear sense of "wins" group leaders can become frustrated and not realize that they may be succeeding in significant ways.
Effective small groups make the measure of effectiveness clear. Every group cannot achieve every possible goal. You must know what you're hoping to achieve, work toward that goal, and measure the groups success by that same clear standard. Only then can you determine if your small group is hitting the mark.

Soundtrack review: All nighter (Alec Puro – 2017)
"All Nighter" is a 2017 American comedy film directed by Gavin Wiesen and written by Seth W. Owen. The film stars Emile Hirsch, J. K. Simmons, and Kristen Schaal. When a globe-trotting, workaholic father (Simmons) trying to visit his daughter on a last minute layover in Los Angeles discovers that she's disappeared, he forces her awkward, nervous ex-boyfriend (Hirsch), still nursing a broken heart, to help him find her over the course of one increasingly crazy night. Alec Puro wrote the score.
The opening cue "Open" puts me straight up in a great and jolly mood; it's the kind guitar and banjo cue that I would always start a road movie with because it's full of hope and joy and as playful as they get. I like the sound of the banjo and maybe the whole score will have it. Comedies are not easy to score as the composer has to find the right balance between monkeying around, emotion and melancholy; it's not always easy even for me to listen to and write about comedy scores because I can't always connect to them very well.
In this case though the composer chose to go use very few instruments and to my joy he gave his music a road trip stride with percussion and alert strings; "Porn driving" is a simple and enjoyable cue that becomes almost hummable by the time it's over. There's also a clapping sound and a repetitive guitar motif that I like a lot. Somehow this score reminds me of the one for "Little Miss Sunshine" from a few years back. I enjoy this kind of cue once, then twice but it becomes a bit repetitive from the third time on. I have heard this kind of score before in comedies and I appreciate that it's not slapstick comedy music because I have a hard time listening to that but still, it is that light guitar sound that can go with anything. This is one instance where I am not upset that the score is only 25 minutes long. The thing is I am listening to the album out of context and maybe this music works much better with the support of the humour in the movie. I can imagine gags or funny moments having this undertone but as a standalone listen is just not enough to get me to connect with it.
I enjoy the percussion moments and the return if the banjo towards the end because they bring a different energy to the score and take it a bit out of that light guitar comfort zone. There's also a bit of Americana in the love theme "Martin and Ginnie" which makes the time pass faster. "All nighter" is light and breezy and I imagine it works much better int he context of the movie.

First I had a couple of Ground Zero Games, resin kits turn up as an extremely generous gift from a friend on the WIP forum . They were a six wheeled APC and a small flier and they will both come in useful once I decide what faction/race to attach them to.
Next, I a number of purchases through the post. First, I received four Space Dwarfs and a free Goblin from Silent Spectre Studio. They are nice little miniatures from an amateur sculptor who is trying to break into the miniatures market (so give his site a look!).
My Marauder has arrived from Fenris Games after a replacement being sent as a result of the first one going missing in the mail. Not only did one e-mail sort the issue out but I also received a few extra bits and bobs as 'compensation' for the wait. I say "Thank you Fenris!" and would suggest that there are other companies who could follow this fine example.
My Decals arrived and they came with a nice coloured booklet with photos of the Merlin and the Splat included. Here is the decal sheet that I received:
Click the Pic!
The Splat design is in two parts; the colours and the outline. The sheet will be sealed away with its booklet and kept for prosperity. I may get a second set and 'Splat' a flier in the future (especially if the dropship gets built...maybe, I'll even paint a larger version instead!).
Plans are afoot to get me back on track...and that means that I need to paint some Grymn. My current idea is to finish off the bike platoon for Void and then paint up a squad of Urban Grymn. I think that I really need to get them going and I also think that once I get a squad done, I may get the urge to paint a few more. Of course, I will have other things floating about...but that is the very basic plan. The Grymn will be basic colours rather than having any complicated camouflage so that I can get them painted relatively quickly...nothing increases enthusiasm better than finished units!
I have written another bit of text for my STORY so feel free to pop along and read it. Things are going to get more and more interesting as the voyage continues...
Lastly...a funny story...
...When I get tired, my words disappear. I often have trouble remembering simple things and need prompting when I am talking to people. Most of the time, I appreciate this because I am tired all the time. The trouble is, I also mix words up...only names though. On my last trip to Kenya, I called one of my mates 'Dave' for the entire time we were there. His name was Big Rob. He just put up with it and took the mickey a bit. Yesterday I sent an e-mail to a guy named Paul. Understand that I am in a new job, dealing with high profile, professional people from outside agencies. Anyway, I get a phone call.
'Was the e-mail meant for me or am I just taking a note of it?' said Paul.
'It's for you...that's why you are the only person in the receiving box' I replied.
'Oh...so who's Dave then?' He says.
'...Ah...I guess I've done it again!' I say 'Sorry Paul...it just happens sometimes.'
Fortunately, I have known Paul a long time and he took it in good spirits...but next time...who knows who will be called Dave?!?!.
See you from the nice, white, comfy, padded, room!

The southeast US has been hit heavy by monstrous tornados that seemed to pile upon one another & swarm over communities with many blows. Nine fatalities have been uncovered in my area...one very close to where I live where a tree fell on a home. Thankfully, myself & my family were all kept safe with no damage other than small downed tree limbs. Thank You, God! Please join in praying for all those families that lost loved ones & suffered damage. It's crazy, there's trees down around the area pulled up by the roots & in some communities it's like everything's been smashed & turned into firewood. All that I've suffered is no power since yesterday early afternoon & some ruined freezer/fridge food {which I'm ashamed to say I grumbled about.} When I think about how some lost family members, friends, & their very homes, I know I've been blessed & can't complain. Thankfully, my mom & stepdad have power - so I'm over here for awhile. I can remember back when we had some major damage from a tornado a few years ago - this year we made it through safe. I had one scary moment this time around, however, - I was at my apartment alone when all this was happening - when I did climb in my tub & place a pillow over my head, as I heard some frightening banging noises above - thankfully, it was only powerful winds tossing things around & ripping some of the trim off my neighbors chimney. It's hard to know what to do after these things happen - the folks on tv say they've got enough volunteers & don't want extra people coming into areas at the moment... but I know at least I can pray.
Dear Father,
Thank you for delivering my family safely through these terrible storms & tornados. Please be with all those that lost loved ones & friends. Wrap Your arms around them & may they know You as their Lord, so that true peace can comfort their aching hearts. To those with aching hearts for lost homes & great damage, bring comfort, as well - hold them together & bring people together to help each other. Bring Your peace that passes understanding to those who don't know where or how they will fall asleep tonight. Please be with those hurt & also those missing survivors that may still be unaccounted for; Father, please keep them alive & let them be found by rescuers soon. Please let there be miracles & good to come out of all this & we praise You again for all of the protection You have given to us.
In Jesus' Name,

The most aggressive cat in the neighborhood, a stray animal at the time, was adopted by a woman with a blind and partially deaf dog.
A friendship between the two animals blossomed until the cat began taking Tervel the dog, who previously needed to stay in his basket, for walks in the countryside — "nose to tail."
A new show, The Secret Life of Cats began airing last Sunday on Nat Geo Wild.

LaTavia Roberson: The Naked Truth
Reginald Dominique | 9/14/2018, 4:32 a.m.
RD: You faced a tough challenge in July 2016 when you suffered a miscarriage. If you feel comfortable, let us know a little more about that.
LR: I was 6 ½ months pregnant with my daughter Lauren and on July 4, 2016, I experienced a miscarriage. Ever since then, that experience has changed my life. People try to tell you how to grieve, but until the day I die, I'll never forget that day. I carry her around in a cross-urn necklace everywhere I go.
RD: We watched you on R&B Divas Reality TV – would you get back into it?
LR: I would. And I am. And the reason why I am getting back into reality TV is that I have gotten the green light to executive produce a couple of shows on my own! With me wanting to be behind the scenes for such a long time it's a blessing that I did not expect. I've always wanted to be my own boss while making a nice coin!
RD: As we wrap things up, I noticed online people are sometimes rude and negative towards to you. To those people who are trolling, what do you have to say to them?
LR: Its fine, people are going to be people. When I came on to social media after being gone out of the public eye for over 10 years it uses to really hurt my feelings. But, people are going to always have opinions. And you know what they say they're like and we all have one…so the most important thing is that I love myself, and when I look in the mirror I know what I see: I know who I am. I have a sense of family. I am a wonderful mother and I am a great person. I know that and I believe that. I'm living my best life!!
As you can see, life after Destiny's Child is great for LaTavia Roberson.

Hey there, folks. Due to some personal matters, I'll likely be taking a break from doing theatrical reviews for awhile. But because I am by my very nature, a writer, I can't just not write. So in spirit of the encroaching holiday of Halloween, I have opted to use this month to write reviews of my favorite movies to watch this time of year, basically horror films, or Halloween-themed movies. For those of you that don't know, I generally hate horror as a genre. Far too often the movies follow a very specific formula: stupid character making stupid decisions getting other stupid characters killed. By the day's end, there's nothing to invest in. It's just violence porn, which I'm not a fan of. It's too cheap and easy. But for this month, I'll be writing about the ones that I think break that formula and actually look like they gave a shit about making a good movie, with good characters, good scares, and above all else, a good story. At least, for the horror films. Like I said, I'll be touching on Halloween-themed films that could be for kids. So sit back, relax, and enjoy my opinions.
Cast: Kristen Connolly (REVOLUTIONARY ROAD [2008], and TV shows ZOO [2015 – ongoing] and HOUSE OF CARDS [2013 – ongoing]), Chris Hemsworth (GHOSTBUSTERS [2016], THOR: THE DARK WORLD [2013], STAR TREK [2009], and upcoming films THOR: RAGNAROK [2017] and AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR [2018]), Fran Kranz (THE DARK TOWER [2017] and TV show DOLLHOUSE [2009 – 2010]), Bradley Whitford (MEGAN LEAVEY [2017], and the upcoming GODZILLA: KING OF MONSTERS [2019]), and Richard Jenkins (KONG: SKULL ISLAND [2017], THE KINGDOM [2007], and the upcoming THE SHAPE OF THE WATER [2017]).

Director: Drew Goddard (4 episodes of TV show THE GOOD PLACE [2016 – ongoing] and the upcoming X-FORCE, no release date announced). Writers: Drew Goddard (THE MARTIAN [2015], WORLD WAR Z [2013], CLOVERFIELD [2008], and the upcoming X-FORCE) and Joss Whedon (AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON [2015], SERENITY [2005], TOY STORY [1995], and upcoming films JUSTICE LEAGUE [2017] and BATGIRL, no release date announced). Composer: David Julyan (THE PRESTIGE [2006], THE DESCENT [2005], and MEMENTO [2000]). Cinematographer: Peter Deming (NOW YOU SEE ME 2 [2016], THE JACKET [2005], AUSTIN POWERS [1997], and the upcoming THE NEW MUTANTS [2019])
For those not in the know CABIN IN THE WOODS was actually a creation of Joss Whedon. Yes, the same Joss Whedon who gave us TV shows BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER (1997 – 2003), FIREFLY (2002 – 2003), and films THE AVENGERS (2012) and AVENGERS: THE AGE OF ULTRON, and briefly took over filming for the upcoming JUSTICE LEAGUE (2017) and is slated to make a Batgirl movie that may or may not have anything to do with the DC Extended Universe. My point is, Whedon is one of the most celebrated names in Hollywood, for his smart stories, brilliant direction, creating some of the most kick-ass women on screen, he's an all around icon in geek culture.
I bring this up because this is weirdly enough one of his films that got pushed to the wayside. Yeah, though I don't know the full history, CABIN was originally made years before. Hell, I have a theory that the only reason it was released was because of the success of Marvel's THOR (2011) and the popularity of Chris Hemsworth, whom is in this film. Kind of funny how things turned out. The common person is probably still looking at this title and wondering why they haven't heard of it. If it had such big names attached, why aren't more people talking about it? Well, the sad fact with Whedon is that many of his projects in the past, post-BUFFY and pre-AVENGERS, weren't always given the best chances, likely due to marketing failure. FIREFLY, for example, is considered to be one of the greatest sci-fi TV shows of all time, but much like CABIN, not many people have heard of it, and seemingly fewer have seen it. So what does that usually mean? Popular, fresh, different, and amazing work that goes completely over mainstream becomes, what else, a cut classic. There's plenty who talk about these slices of celluloid wonder. You just have to look for them. That was the case for FIREFLY, such is also the case for CABIN.
So what makes CABIN IN THE WOODS so special? Well, take a look at the trailer when this movie first came out.
Doesn't seem too special, right? A generic horror film about a group of teenagers that get out of town to get high, get drunk, have sex, and an all around good time in a cabin in the woods. But then shit starts to get real and they start getting picked off, one by one. Yup, it's about a generic as it looks, right?
HA!!! Fools, the lot of you!
The film lets you know exactly what kind of movie you're really in for in its opening sequence, which is what threw off more than a couple people who saw this. It's a comedy. A horror-comedy, one of my favorite mash-ups when it comes to the horror genre. The very first set of images we get are of ritual sacrifice from ancient civilizations and then cuts to a pair of business suit-wearing men, Sitterson (Richard Jenkins) and Hadley (Bradley Whitford), who talk about their normal everyday lives combined with some ominous talk about something something or other. It's a lot funnier than I'm making it sound.
Then we get right to the traditions of horror: the five victims of circumstance. Dana (Kristen Connolly), Curt (Chris Hemsworth), Jules (Anna Hutchison), Holden (Jesse Williams), and Marty (Fran Kranz). Though the difference here is that unlike most horror films, as generic as they appear, there is a likability to each of them. They're written in such a way that you may not be able to talk about them very much, but they still have some charm to them. Marty is probably my favorite character, being a pothead and a conspiracy theorist, but he's so damn funny and barely takes what he himself says seriously that I can't help but laugh my ass off.
On the surface, the film is about a super secret organization that periodically must sacrifice at least four of five victims to giant ancient gods to keep them in their slumber. A slut, an athlete, a scholar, a fool, and the optional virgin. They lead the young people to this cabin in the woods and basically rig this system in a way that these young people choose how they die. How do they do that? By making them curious enough to go into the creepy basement and fiddle with a bunch of knickknacks that will ultimately trigger a horror that ultimately kills them, like, a conch shell will decide on a merman that will kill them, or a creepy journal that if read, will trigger a zombie torture family to kill them. Things like that. What's hilarious is that the people in suits take bets on what will be the horror that the teens face. At this point, the teens must die in a specific way. The whore dies first, then the others, so long as the virgin is last. There's also clichés that are played with. You know that age old "let's split up, we can cover more ground that way" bullshit that even Scooby Doo made a career out of doing that? Well, this is addressed in brilliant way. At first, one of them will say that they should stick together at all costs. But then the guys in suits will release a tiny amount of gas that fucks with their brains and then that same teen will say, "On second thought, let's split up."
However, things go wrong when one of the deaths doesn't happen as intended. Marty, the fool, was originally thought to be killed, but ended up surviving and accidentally stumbled upon an elevator that would them to the underground facility of the people that have been doing this to the teens. It's here that they discover all sorts of horrors, the list of which is too great to go through. But eagle eyed fans of the video game franchise Left 4 Dead may notice a boomer, a tank, and a witch in the cubes. Upon entering, the organization desperately tries to nullify the situation by sending their own personal SWAT guys after them, but equally desperate to stay alive, Dana and Marty unleash the monsters upon the SWAT guys and it's a shit load of gory fun, from giant snakes, giant a giant octopus, ghosts, and . They navigate to the heart of this facility and discover where the leader of this crap is, The Director, played amazingly by Sigourney Weaver, and basically reveals everything, only for her to die in a climactic fight and dooming the world to extinction because Marty was unwilling to die for humanity and Dana sorta failed at killing him. The gods rise up and the movie ends. Just like that.
Well, alright, that can sound like a bit of fun, right? But what makes it such a modern classic, aside from the video game and countless pop culture references, like THE EVIL DEAD (1981), which heavily influenced this set-up? Because it's social commentary, specifically about horror fans who love the formula of bad and repetitive horror films. Really think about it. The Old Gods that are referenced in the movie represent those audiences who need that formula. See what's happening? When you go to a horror movie like this, you expect the whore to die, you expect the asshole jock to die, and because these movies are bought and paid for so frequently with no wide-spread demand for diversity, these movies become "another day at the office," getting the same ole routine down to appease you, the audience, that demands this formula, and any deviation or defiance of it results in y'all being angry and shunning it. The perfect example that I read about that the movie uses is in the line, "We haven't had a glitch since '98." If it's not too far off the mark, this line references the movie THE FACULTY (1998), in which none of the young people die by the end of the movie. And if I'm not mistaken, it wasn't the best received by viewers.
But the fun-poking doesn't stop there. I think the corporation represents the producers that finance these movies, as represented by the betting pool of what horror the teens will face and who makes the profit, and the teens represent the minority of audiences that want change, that want an overhaul of the system, but either succumb to the will and demands of those more powerful and in control, or die trying break the mold. All of this is just the tip of the iceberg of what people can extrapolate and it's a load of fun to read other opinions… except from those that didn't like the film. Fuckin' old gods. GO BACK TO SLEEP, YOU FORMULA-LOVING BASTARDS!!!
About the closet thing to a problem that I have with the movie is of the playful variety. Like, now that Whedon and Goddard have incepted this into my brain, you know what, you forward-thinking genius bastards, I want to see a merman killing spree! Fuck the sequel that people have been asking for- how would that even work, dumb-asses? – I want a prequel with the merman! If you can find a way to make space cowboys work, the you can make a god damned movie about a killer merman! Get on it, Whedon and Goddard, or I'll… I'll… bitch and moan online some more?
Overall, I think this is probably one of the best and most unique films of its class. It's hilarious, it's intelligent, it's a brilliant love-letter and middle finger to the conventional. I say if you haven't seen this film, you're doing yourself a grand disservice. This is one of my favorite movies to revisit around Halloween, so get together with some buddies and have a magnificent time with it.
My honest rating for CABIN IN THE WOODS (2011): 5/5

Law and Development in Middle-Income Countries: Introduction
13 Pages Posted: 23 Jan 2013
Date Written: January 22, 2013
In 1960, there were 101 middle-income countries (MICs). By 2008, only thirteen had become high-income countries (HICs). Why do so many middle-income countries fail to develop after a promising start, becoming mired in the so-called "middle-income trap?" This is the introductory chapter to an interdisciplinary volume that addresses the special challenges MICs confront from both a theoretical and a practical perspective. Most of the existing literature that specifically discusses MICs is by economists or development specialists. This is the first volume on MICs that addresses law and development issues from the perspective of political, administrative and legal institutions and policies. This chapter begins with an overview of MICs, identifies the key issues, and then provides a synopsis of the other chapters.
Keywords: law and development, middle-income countries, middle-income trap, comparative law

Horsham father Simon Perry, has challenged himself to run 1,000km over the course of one year to raise money and awareness for water aid charity, Just a Drop.
Already half way through his endeavour, Simon, of Honeysuckle Walk, has committed himself to numerous running events and is not averse to doing some of them in style.
His first event - The Brighton Chicken Run - saw him dressed as a chicken. He has also taken part in the British London 10km and he plans to tackle the Great North Run next month.
Simon said: "This time last year I was a typical sloth like 30-something who could not run for a bus if I tried.
"For many reasons, some personal some not, this changed; I dug out my running shoes and hit the road in the aid of Just a Drop."
He added: "I may not be able to provide the technical skills that Just a Drop have to provide communities with clean water but I hope that any funds I raise will make a difference to the lives of people."
The idea of running such a distance in aid of Just a Drop came about whilst working in an environmental consultancy.
Simon decided that water sanitation was a crucial problem facing many areas today.
He wrote on his blog: "Clean fresh water is a basic necessity which we all take for granted. However, millions of people around the world have to survive without easy access to clean water or basic sanitation."
Just a Drop has delivered over 130 projects in 31 countries, supporting approximately 1.5 million people since its beginnings in 1998.
The aim of the charity is to address the shocking statistic that a child dies every 20 seconds from a water-related disease – which means more children under the age of five years old die from this than from malaria, measles and HIV/AIDS combined.
To support Simon Perry reach his target of £1,000, go to his Virgin Money Giving Page uk.virginmoneygiving.com/runningforwater of cheer him along in Horsham Park where he often trains.

Cities Of All Sizes Have A Community Calendar, Take Advantage Of It!
Most cities often have many free events going on that most people who aren't intimately involved in the community don't even know about. Check out your local library or visitors bureau and ask how your community's upcoming community events are broadcast. Make efforts to explore the ones that seem interesting to you and your family. often you can snag free entertainment and sometimes even a free meal just by paying attention to what's happening in your community. In turn, you'll also feel more in touch with your community.
Hang Up Your Laundry
Energy efficiency ways to dry your clothing is to simply hang them up outdoors or indoors. Even if you have washer-dryer combo, save your energy use and let fresh oxygen dry out your apparel. Don't bother going to a laundry mat and breaking large dollar bills. Although laundry is a low expense, it can be an inconvenience when you need a little extra cash for something as small as protein bar. The little money you can save by drying your clothes in the open air can be saved. If there's no other way, dry your clothes to the point past damp. Feel around them to make sure they're nearly dry. Give patience a chance.

In this case the senior employee had been in a brief relationship with a female employee. The female employee decided to end the relationship and that is when the trouble started. The senior employee was not happy about the relationship ending and started to send numerous text messages to the female, calling her repeatedly, turning up at her house and arguing with her. The female employee became fearful of the senior employee and took out a trespass notice to prevent the senior employee coming to her house.

Funding necessary for modernized voting machines
Many of Pennsylvania's voting machines are more than 20 years old, and there challenges maintaining many current systems because of the age of the machines, the scarcity of parts, and the costs of repairs and maintenance. I'm referring to The Express' "Our View" of Nov. 27 entitled, "New voting machines are not necessary."
Statewide, several machines malfunctioned or failed in the recent General Election.
Beyond function, security is a concern. Pennsylvania was among the states that outside interests targeted unsuccessfully in 2016. Many expect more attempts nationally. Right now, 83 percent of Pennsylvanians are voting on vulnerable machines that do not leave a reliable paper trail that can be audited to confirm outcomes.
While our system in Pennsylvania works well, we shouldn't wait until our systems fail to enhance security when we know of vulnerabilities. The first step is updating aging election systems. The Pennsylvania Department of State and U.S. Elections Assistance Commission are responsible for testing and certifying machines. The agencies recently indicated that an additional 3-5 new voting systems are expected to be certified over the course of the next several months, which will increase the options available to counties by spring 2019.
Nothing is more fundamental to the way our government operates than demonstrating to the public that their votes are being captured and counted as intended, that the outcomes are correct, and that our elections are fair, accurate, accessible and secure.
And the editorial board is right: It can't and shouldn't be an unfunded mandate, because this is a shared priority. That's why the General Assembly and administration need to come together quickly to help all 67 counties buy new voting systems when the legislative session starts in January.

What's the deal with parking on campus?
October 6, 2018
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
Why is the parking so limited around here? Why don't they allow students to park behind Russell when this is the first semester since the 1940's that SE has had full enrollment?
Ah, my love for campus parking grows stronger and stronger every single day. What also continues to grow every day it seems like, is enrollment here at SE. We simply can't keep up. This is a good problem to have, but as mentioned, it causes not so good problems as well.
As far as parking behind Russell, it's paid parking for faculty. Even if we could park there, there would still be a parking issue so let's rule that out. There's no "fix all" answer for this. My advice to you would be to bring any ideas you have for campus parking to your SGA senators. My second piece of advice would be to figure out who our SGA senators are.
(Editor's note: The SGA office is located in the Student Union on the 3rd floor (SU 316))

This tour will also include a view of the magnificent Istana Nurul Iman, official residence of His Majesty the Sultan and Yang Di Pertuan of Negara Brunei Darussalam.
After lunch, proceed to Kampong Ayer, the "Venice of the East". It is the world's largest water village with 30,000 people living in houses on stilts snaking along the banks of the Brunei River in the heart of Bandar Seri Begawan. The village includes several schools, a fired brigade, a police station and several shops. Transfer back to your hotel. Overnight Empire Hotel & Country Club.

Depart Brunei for Miri via Seria, the oil town of Brunei. Visit the Oil Exploration Centre. Back enroute to Miri visit a pottery factory and a fish market. Check in to Miri Marriott Resort & Spa
Visit an Iban Longhouse. The longhouse way of life evolved in the bygone days of head-hunting, when security was the fundamental concern. A whole village community lived under the one roof of the longhouse, and your visit today will be an insight into a way of life which goes back 3000 years. The journey will take 1½ hours along scenic countryside road with villages, farmland and plantations. Upon arrival, you will be greeted by the chief of the longhouse and then entertained by dancers in traditional costumes performing to music played on Iban musical instruments. During the course of your visit, you will have the chance to see how each family lives in its one room within the longhouse. You will also be able to gain some insight into the Iban culture from the artwork all around you. A warrior tribe in years gone by, the Iban are now an agrarian community and you can take a walk to see the rice fields, vegetable farms and rubber gardens from which the community makes a living.
Return to Miri for lunch and a city tour. Visit the "Grand Old lady",the first oil well in Malaysia, a Taoist Temple and local market.
Overnight at Miri Marriott Resort & Spa
After breakfast, transfer to the airport for a short domestic flight to Mulu. Upon arrival, you will be transferred to Mulu Marriott Resort & Spa for 3 nights stay. The resort is an extraordinary holiday destination, built on stilts and set in the heart of the rainforest in the Gunung Mulu National Park, now a world Heritage site. Surrounded by lush vegetation, the resort offers a sense of serenity and harmony, blending effortlessly with its natural surroundings.
Gunung Mulu National Park is the largest of Sarawak's National Parks, covering a staggering 544 Sq Km of virgin rainforest and laced with fast-flowing rivers. You can explore the amazing bio-diversity of the rainforest on a range of included jungle walks with an expert naturalist in search of the remarkable plant and animal life – 8000 species of flowering plants, 200 species of mammals, 100 butterfly species and at least 450 birds, including the unmistakable hornbill with its curly beak.
Mulu has now become more famous for the treasures it hides beneath the forest slopes of its three mountains. One of the largest and most spectacular limestone cave system in the world. The oldest caves began to form about 5 million years ago and they continue to evolve as dripping water carves out new rock features. So far, over 295 km of cave passages have been mapped, an estimated 40% of the total.
This afternoon, visit the Canopy sky walk and see the rainforest canopy. Hike through the peat swamp forest on a 3KM plankwalk to Deer Cave. The hike takes you through the rainforest, swamp, alluvial flats, limestone outcrops and by an ancient Penan Burial Cave.
One of the largest cave passage in the world the the spacious Deer Cave is said to be able to contain London's St Paul's Cathedral five times over. A path leads into the cave and winds its way around, following the natural contours of the cave floor. Although the path is lit, a flashlight is useful for examining the guano-covered cave floor and its population of insects. The path eventually leads to the "Garden of Eden" where a hole in the cave roof lets in a shaft of light which allows the rich green vegetation to thrive. Another feature is the famous profile of Abraham Lincoln, which guards the southern entrance of the cave.
Only a short distance away from Deer cave is Lang Cave. Lang's Cave is the smallest of the show caves with impressive rock formations. These are made all the more attractive by the strategically positioned spotlights which highlight stalactites and stalagmites. As the cave is relatively small and well-lit, it offers good opportunities to see some of its inhabitants such as bats and swiftlets.
As dusk closes in, proceed to the Bat Observation deck. Watch the spectacular sight of a black cloud of millions of free-tailed bats soaring out of the caves as they reach for the sky in search of food. At this point, it may seem beyond belief, but bats are more closely related to humans than to the mice and rats with which they are commonly thought to be associated. They are also exceptionally good bug killers – it is reckoned that one bat can eat 1200 mosquitoes in an hour! Return to and overnight at the Mulu Marriott Resort.
This morning, you will visit the Wind/Clearwater caves where you will explore the longest cave in South East Asia, running 107 kilometres. You will depart the resort by traditional longboat and then a walk through the forest with your guide. The Wind Cave is said to have receive its name because of the cooling breezes that blow through the caves, and these are particularly notable where they are funnelled through narrower passages. There are some impressive stalactites and stalagmites, best seen in the illuminated area called 'King's Room'.
You return to the longboat and travel to the Clearwater Cave and may find yourself tempted to swim in the still, clear water of the subterranean river. One of the most memorable sights of the day must be the huge butterflies which hover around the river and the entrance to the caves. Named for the first White Rajah of Sarawak, Sir James Brooke, you are more likely to see the males which tend to settle near the riverbanks; the females are more reclusive and favour the flowering trees of the rainforest. Return to Resort for lunch and spend the afternoon at leisure.
Overnight at the Mulu Marriott Resort & Spa
On a rainforet walk you'll learn jungle survival skills. Return to the resort for lunch.
Travel by longboat to a remote Penan Longhouse to visit the last remaining semi-nomadic people in Malaysia. Their elifestyle is a microcosm of the manners of the past
