Borrowers across the struggling eurozone economies received an unexpected fillip on Thursday when the European Central Bank cut interest rates to a fresh record low, in a bid to stave off a slide into deflation.
After its monthly policy meeting in Frankfurt, the ECB's governing council announced that it would reduce its key refinancing rate to 0.25%, from 0.5%.
While the economy of the 18-member single currency area clambered out of recession earlier this year, Mario Draghi, the ECB's president, warned that the outlook could deteriorate in the coming months.
"The risks surrounding the economic outlook for the euro area continue to be on the downside," he said. "Developments in global money and financial market conditions and related uncertainties may have the potential to negatively affect economic conditions. Other downside risks include higher commodity prices, weaker than expected domestic demand and export growth, and slow or insufficient implementation of structural reforms in euro area countries."
As well as the rate cut, which took financial markets by surprise, Draghi said the ECB would continue making low-cost loans to eurozone banks until at least mid-2015, to try to prevent the financial sector from seizing up.
Howard Archer, of consultancy IHS Global Insight, said: "The fact that the ECB chose to act now rather than wait until December when the governing council will have the ECB staff's new eurozone GDP and consumer price inflation forecasts suggests that the bank felt there was a compelling case for prompt action."
With inflation running well below the ECB's 2% target, at just 0.7% in October, a growing number of analysts have started to warn that deflation – which can be disastrous for economies carrying a heavy debt burden, as prices and wages fall while debt-levels remain fixed – is a real threat. Draghi suggested at his press conference that, "we may experience a prolonged period of low inflation".
The recent strength of the euro against the dollar has also raised fears in some member-countries about the competitiveness of the zone's exports on world markets. The euro was down by more than 1% against most major currencies after Thursday's announcement, hitting a seven-week low of $1.3375 against the dollar.Italian prime minister Enrico Letta, speaking on a visit to Dublin, described the ECB's decision as "great news", adding that, "it shows the ECB cares about growth and competitiveness in Europe". The International Monetary Fund also welcomed the move. "The decision is fully warranted by the weak inflation dynamics and substantial slack in the economy," said spokesman Gerry Rice.
The muted strength of the economic recovery in many eurozone countries is likely to have been another factor influencing the ECB's decision: earlier this week, the European commission revised down its expectation for growth across the 18 member-countries to just 1.1% in 2014. Nevertheless, Draghi insisted at his Frankfurt press conference that the "fundamentals" of the eurozone are, "probably the strongest in the world".
However, some analysts warned that the rate cut should be no substitute for the urgent reforms the eurozone needs to secure recovery and tackle the legacy of unmanageable government debts. "It's a palliative: a legal high," said Danny Gabay, of City consultancy Fathom. "They need to get on with the really important stuff: fiscal union, banking reform, debt mutualisation."
The ECB's move is unlikely to prove popular in Germany, where the Bundesbank – whose president, Jens Weidmann, sits on the ECB's governing council – has tended to take a hawkish stance, opposing some of the ECB's recession-busting measures. Draghi admitted that Thursday's decision had not been unanimous, saying the governing council was, "wholly in agreement about the need to act, but there were disagreements about when to act". The suprise rate cut was the fifth since Draghi took over from the more orthodox Jean-Claude Trichet in 2011.
The decision followed an earlier announcement from the Bank of England that it will leave its own interest rate unchanged at 0.5%, and the total value of assets held under QE at £375bn.

3 Things To Know To Prepare For Dental Implant Surgery
Dental implants are a great option for anyone looking to replace any missing teeth that they have. This is because dental implants are the most similar to natural teeth since they are surgically placed in your mouth to fuse with the jawbone. Here are three things that you should know to prepare for this surgery:
- Get Bone Grafting Done as Soon as Possible: In some cases, you may need to get bone grafting done before getting dental implants. You will want to get this done as soon as possible because you may need to wait several months after bone grafting before you can go through dental implant surgery. So, schedule your appointment for bone grafting as soon as you know that you need it and try your best not to skip the appointment or have to schedule it for a later date.
- Talk to Your Dentist About What to Do the Night Before: When you are ready to schedule your dental implant surgery, ask your dentist what you need to do the night before to ensure that the appointment for surgery goes as smoothly as possible the next day. Always take your dentist's advice seriously. In some cases, your dentist may ask that you fast. You are most likely also going to have to ask someone, such as a friend or family member, to take you to your appointment and drive you home afterwards since you won't be in any condition to drive after getting the sedation medication for the surgery.
- Give Up Smoking: You are not going to be able to smoke for a few days after surgery. This is because, if you do smoke, it can affect your ability to heal properly and increases the chance that the implants can be rejected. This means that they will not fuse to the jawbone and you will have to go through the process of surgery again. You definitely want to avoid this, so it's best to attempt to give up the habit of smoking now before you need to for a few days after the surgery.
When you know these three things to help you prepare for dental implant surgery, you can be sure that it goes as smoothly as possible and that you are more likely to recover with success. Since you are most likely investing a great deal of money into this process, this is extremely important. Click here for more information.

Oh hey Northeast, how you doing? Oh, you're about to get a hurricane. It's a Category One. We totally didn't even hear about it. Oh, wait, that's all we're hearing about right now.
Listen, we're kind of jealous. A hurricane comes towards Florida and it gets maybe a 30 second mention on CNN. One heads towards the Northeast, and it's at the top of the 24/7 news cycle. However, we're sensing you guys are kind of freaking out. Didn't you guys go through this last year? Come on, haven't you adopted a "whatever" attitude towards hurricanes yet?
Here's some helpful tips from us Floridians, grizzled Hurricane vets.
1. Calm the fuck down: you are not the first people to endure a hurricane
If I had a "I survived Hurricane ______" shirt for every storm I've endured, I could go for weeks at a time without doing laundry. I believe people in certain parts of Florida actually do this. As long as you're prepared there's nothing really to freak out about. Hurricane Sandy is only a Category One. Or as we call it Florida: regular summer weather with a bit more wind. You guys endure things like "blizzards" or whatever. You can handle some rain and wind.
2. Stop making memes
The fuck is wrong with you people? You've set up a site dedicated to Instagram photos of the storm. You're playing "Fuck, Marry, Kill" with weather reporters. You're Photoshopping the hell out of Sandra Dee from Grease. You've canonized a shirtless man in a horse mask. Stop. None of these are even funny. Get off your MacBook Pros and start preparing.
3. Here's your actual Hurricane stock list
- Liquids: Three gallons of water per person. One handle of liquor per person. And enough appropriate mixers.
- Canned food, mostly so you're already prepared to donate during Thanksgiving food drives.
- Non-scented candles. You don't want to be trapped in a small apartment that reeks of thirty different flavors of Yankee Candle.
- Smokeless tobacco. Nor in an apartment that reeks like an ashtray.
- Board games, or as they're better known now, non-electronic version of iPhone game apps.
- Condoms and lube. Candlelight and alcohol can lead to a romantic mood.

4. Stay Inside
With a few tragic exceptions, obviously, a lot of the people who get hurt or killed during minor hurricanes in Florida tend to be idiots who decided to go outside. Now, we know there's some bros out there who are gonna do their best Anderson Cooper impression and decide to brave the elements. Do so at your own risk. If you end up dying, your death will be chalked up more to the laws of Darwin than the laws of weather.

On his first night in Tucson, rather than bunk at La Paloma or Hacienda del Sol or any of the $350-a-night resorts near Greg Byrne's home, Rich Rodriguez made himself at home.
Rich and Rita Rodriguez would sleep in the guest bedroom. Their teenage children, Raquel and Rhett would make do with an air mattress and sleep on the floor.
Rodriguez would not merely dip his toes in the Wildcats' pool; he was all in.
The man from Grant Town, W.Va., (population: 657) had awakened Monday in Naples, Fla., flew to Detroit to pick up his family and arrived at Byrne's home a few ticks before 11 p.m. Rita carried an armful from McDonald's late-night menu to the Byrne's kitchen, and Arizona's new football coach sat on the sofa, reading text messages from Wildcat recruits.
"Tired?" he asked. "My body doesn't know what time it is. In the last five days, I've been in New York, Texas, Florida, Michigan and now Arizona. I can't wait to get up and see what Tucson looks like."
It turned out to be a beautiful day.
Rodriguez listened, emotional, as the football team, his football team, sang "Bear Down, Arizona." He met many of the Wildcats who played in and won Territorial Cup games, from John Fina and Lamonte Hunley to Max Zendejas and John Kaiser.
He put his arms around the UA football community and embraced it like is hasn't been embraced since Dick Tomey was forced off the property 11 years ago.
"He'll be able to identify with us, with the Bear Down legend, and wrap his arms around it," said Fina. "He'll be able to address large groups, add some humor, add some excitement. We haven't had that."
Most importantly, for the first time in 321 days, Rodriguez awoke as a football coach. That's what put the country charm back in his voice.
"For 18 years I woke up as a head coach and all that comes with it and that's what I do best," he said late Monday night. "Every day there would be 120 players, a coaching staff, the managers, trainers and maybe 50 other people waiting for me to make a decision and to give them some direction. All of a sudden I didn't have that. I missed the camaraderie and the aspect of working toward a common goal.
"I wanted it back. I've got something to prove."
Byrne gave Rodriguez more than the keys to the office and a five-year contract. He gave the son of a coal miner the authority to encourage UA football fans to believe that 13 years of crummy football is neither a sentence nor a curse.
"Why not us?" he asked. "Why can't we win it all?"
Football coaches say a lot of irretrievable things on the day they are hired, most of them wildly optimistic but obligatory nonetheless.
"This is my final coaching stop," he said. "I hope to be able to do this another 12 to 15 years."
We would settle for half of that, wouldn't we?
In the history of UA athletics, only one man, Lute Olson, arrived on campus with a more impressive coaching background than Rodriguez. The expectations are a given. Rodriguez is expected to win. Now. Next year. And thereafter. This isn't a tryout.
A week ago, someone associated with former Florida coach Urban Meyer let it slip that he had spoken with Byrne about Arizona's coaching vacancy. Byrne insisted Monday night and again Tuesday afternoon that he did not ask Meyer to be Arizona's football coach.
But that meeting, and its attendant publicity, made it clear that Byrne was not planning to come home with a coach from somewhere in Louisiana or from Conference USA.
"It sent a good message to our fan base that we were serious about what we were doing," Byrne said. "We were talking to the best people. I offered the job to Rich Rodriguez. He was the only guy."
Arizona hasn't played in a Rose Bowl, but that doesn't mean it ever sold itself short in these coaching searches. In 1987, for example, director of athletics Cedric Dempsey persuaded the sitting Ohio State coach, Earle Bruce, to visit Tucson and interview for the job.
It sounded like a fantasy until, indeed, Bruce checked into a room at La Paloma and accepted the job.
Alas, Bruce changed his mind overnight and checked out the next morning.
This time, Rich Rodriguez, formerly head coach at Michigan, West Virginia and of the Glenville State Pioneers, agreed to be Arizona's football coach before he ever saw a Tucson sunrise.
I suspect he will let the sunshine in.

Post Palma Update from Ashley Stoddart
Hi Everyone,
The first event of my trip, the ISAF World Cup Trofeo Princesa Sofia regatta finished up over the weekend here in Palma Mallorca. I finished 3rd in the Silver Fleet and 48th overall, amongst the 96 competitors in total.
Congratulations to now World number 1 and London 2012 Silver Medallist, Marit Bouwmeester from the Netherlands on a superb week of sailing. Marit took out the Laser Radials and the overall trophy for the event with the lowest points scorecard across all boat classes, which is super impressive.
The regatta certainly presented its challenges for both the sailors and the race committee, with plenty of waiting on and off the water. The week started with light and shifty winds, we had 3 races scheduled and raced on the first day of competition in light and lumpy conditions. The following day we waited for hours on shore and then on the water for wind, until finally a breeze line came from the east. These two short days with only 4 races concluded the qualifying series of racing to determine gold and silver fleets. Unfortunately, but only due to my race performances, I narrowly missed out on gold fleet.
The first day of finals racing was bizzaar, the entire bay was filled with wind including up to 20 knots on the 470 course and then there was our Laser Radial with random breeze lines coming from every direction and glass-outs which made it very difficult for the race committee to get a race in. The closest we got was with the gold fleet getting around the top mark, and the silver fleet being in a starting sequence before the race was completely abandoned due to a huge left shift. At the end of the day we were sent into shore with no racing.
The next two days of finals racing, we had some great sailing conditions to complete 3 races on both days.
Although I have been pleased with my preseason training, I felt I lacked the bigger, international level competition race experience. The last time I was duking it out with these girls was in September/October 2013 at the Worlds and ISAF World Cup in China. This fleet racing definitely requires a "take no prisoners" attitude to be at the top, and I'm determined to get there.
I was happy with my progression through the week of racing, I began to feel more comfortable in the tight racing environment and felt a lift in my overall performance. I finished the week off with a few top 10's in the silver fleet, this was a nice way to end the regatta.
I now have a few days to make my way to Hyeres, I'm focused to build on what I learnt here in Palma and take that into the next ISAF World Cup in Hyeres, France.
Thank you for following my sailing!

Big Money.
Montana is now officially ground zero in the organized attack being waged on clean, fair elections. Yesterday's decision by U.S. District Judge Lovell throwing out Montana's 20-year-old contribution limits caps off what has been an ugly year for Montana election laws.
Throughout 2012, American Tradition Partnership – a shadowy, secretive Washington, D.C.-based group notorious for its attacks ads and campaign finance violations – has used the courts to gut Montana's campaign finance laws. ATP's victories come at the expense of Montana voters and of our "tradition" of fair, competitive elections.
In June, the U.S. Supreme Court summarily reversed the Montana Supreme Court's decision on American Tradition Partnership v. Bullock and ended 100 years of Montana policy prohibiting corporate money in Montana elections. Yesterday, ATP dealt another blow to democracy in Montana, with a court decision that eliminates our state's contribution limits.
Both the Montana Corrupt Practices Act and Montana's contribution limits were made law by Montana voters who approved the measures as ballot initiatives. ATP is not only rolling back our election laws, laws that have served Montana well and allowed for clean and fair elections, but it is also working to undermine the will of Montana voters.
I am proud to have worked on the campaign to pass those contribution limits in 1994. Naturally, I am offended by ATP's attack on Montana's contribution limits. But all Montana voters should be offended too.
These guys have contempt for Montana voters and the entire democratic process. They live in a world where corporations are people with constitutional rights, where money is speech, and where public offices should be auctioned off to the highest bidder.
That's not the world we live in, and it's not the reality that Montanans want.
Let's get a few things clear.
Corporations are not people, the Bill of Rights was written to protect human beings not corporations, and corporations should not be allowed to buy our elections because of some distorted interpretation of the Bill of Rights.
Money is not speech and the First Amendment was never intended to allow corporations and wealthy individuals to spend unlimited money in elections.
We saw what happened when the Copper Barons ruled Montana politics back in early 20th century, and we certainly don't want to go back to those days. But that is ATP's agenda, to return us to the days when Montana elections resembled auctions for the super-rich.
Thankfully, we have a way to fight back against ATP and their agenda because Montana voters have placed I-166 on the November ballot. Montanans are taking stand in support of clean and fair elections, and against the big money takeover of our democracy. Stand with Montanans and Vote FOR I-166.

text: According to Jewish law, women are considered impure during their monthly period and are not allowed to have sexual relations or even casually touch their husbands until seven "clean" days have passed and they have immersed in the mikveh, or ritual bath. For Orthodox women, going to the mikveh is a fact of life from the time of their marriage until menopause. But as Varda Polak-Sahm discovered while researching her new book, The House of Secrets: The Hidden World of the Mikveh (translated from the Hebrew by Anne Hartstein Pace), in Israel, many secular women also choose to use the mikveh. Polak-Sahm spoke to Vox Tablet host Sara Ivry from her home in Jerusalem about the power of the mikveh for both the observant and the secular, the women-only rituals that take place within the mikveh's walls, and her own vastly different immersion experiences before her first and second weddings.

Ability is one of the best reasons I can think of for losing weight. Being overweight I do get discouraged sometimes after a long shopping trip when my ankles are swollen, or after an energetic family outing where I caused everyone to take breaks because I couldn't keep up. My Aunt points out I am the youngest in our family but I am the weakest and the one with the most health problems.
What is sad is I can't dance for as long as I used to. I think "getting down" is what kept me from ballooning in my twenties. I danced almost every day. After work I would shake it for hours with my girlfriends. The booze that came on the side was why I never got skinny. I just maintained for about ten years. Then I met my beautiful husband.
Love helped me to slow down and savor things, but I dance a lot less. I can get husband to dance on my birthday. I usually make him take me to salsa dancing. I love it so much. The rhythms of salsa are so joyous, and the dancing is so inclusive. It is also so sexy and romantic, holding hands and shaking your booty. There is almost no choice but to shake your booty.
However, I can only strut about one dance before I have to rest, and usually rest for at least two or three songs. No longer can I boogie the night away with abandon. There is so much freedom in dancing until my hair is sticking to my face and my heels are in writhing in pain. Walking to the car with my shoes in my hands, the cool air refreshing my worn body is something I miss desperately.
I dance in my chair at work sometimes. I get caught up in the music. I don't think of myself as someone who is deeply into music. I can't quote a lot of songs or even names of singers. I own some records that I inherited, but only own like one CD because it hasn't been a priority. I am a listen to the radio player person, and Pandora. I like my music spontaneous. My husband has CD after CD, and a playlist a mile long. He likes to program the songs to play in a certain order. When I go through station after station it annoys him. He likes to put in CDs on road trips which doesn't bother me because I still don't know what is coming. I feel the most spontaneous to music, dancing and laughing at myself. Silliness can be filling. When I dance at work I am sure people think I am so weird. That makes me giggle a little to myself.
I need to lose weight so I can feel this on a full scale. Everyone should be able to dance wildly in the night. My husband and I should be able to salsa to our hearts content without having to take "a breather." We need to work out so we can have the endurance to learn all the steps of the salsa, and maybe more dances. My husband Brad is a very good dancer, light on his feet. I want to take him dancing and not to get tired until the club shuts down.

- Gcode M573 = Displays the drive system values in the spooler.
- Gcode M578 = Displays the bed offset values in the spooler. Shown as all zeroes in the image above because offset values have been applied yet.
- Test Print Border Target = 0.4mm
- Distance range for each corner = +/- 3mm
- Negative Drive System value = Distance nozzle is away from the bed.
- Positive Drive System value = Distance nozzle is into the bed.
Written Instuctions with some Videos
"Recalibrate Bed Location" Button - This will command the nozzle to probe in the center of the print bed. This will validate your Z-height position according to the print bed. If the print bed is removed during calibration, the printer will loop through the calibration program because it cannot find the print bed. Also, if the tip of the nozzle is nearly even with the height of the bottom face of the fan, this will cause the calibration to not work properly. This program should take 1-10 minutes depending on the distance of the nozzle from the print bed.
"Bed Level Fine Tuning" Manual Offset Calibration - This manual calibration page allows you to finely tune each corner of the gantry or manually lower the entire gantry system. The objective is to change offsets manually, print a Test Print Border, measure and confirm the print border thickness is approximately 0.4mm. A loose right slider is known to cause the front right corner of the test print border to look like a squiggle line and not stick well to the bed. The printbed is not mechanically leveled, it is hardware leveled at the factory below 100 microns. The software takes care of the rest to about 30 microns. Please view the following videos to learn more about manually calibrating your Micro's bed level. These videos will help you fine-tune your nozzle height at each point of the bed so your prints always stick to the bed. Apologies for the video quality in advance!
Manual Calibration Overview video.
Calibration Print Test Border video.
"Recalibrate Drive System" Button - This button will command the nozzle to probe the center and corners of the print bed, then calculate the distance the nozzle needs to travel to probe the print bed. Re-running this calibration multiple times or after each print job is not necessary and resets the Bed Level Fine Tuning (Offset) values. To find out what your drive system values are, type the gcode M573. Use these values to calculate and find the necessary offset values to create a better bed level. A loose right slider is known to cause the front right corner to have an inaccurate nozzle height such as -1.25mm. This program should take 15-60 minutes depending on the distance of the nozzle from the print bed.
Description of Problem
Achieving and maintaining a level print bed for 3D printing is of high importance. There are 3 calibration features that allow you to finely-tune the nozzle height to the print bed: Bed Location, Manual Offset, and Drive System. WARNING: If the printer is unplugged while the print head is moving, the z-height position is no longer valid, and the print head won't know where the print bed to begin a job.
Cause + Solutions
- Manual offset calculation - Manual offset calibration is a tedious and painful process.
- Solution: See the definitions below the image to help you fine tune your offset values!
- Table surface is uneven - Will this produce warped prints after "Recalibrate Drive System"? If the printer is teetering on an uneven surface, then yes, the software calibration could be inaccurate when you run it.
- Solution: We recommend calibrating on a level surface of course, free of vibrations. This will help the calibration process result be as accurate as possible.
- Front right corner is always inaccurate - A loose right slider is known to cause the front right corner to have an inaccurate nozzle height such as -1.25mm.
- Circles are oblong/elongated - Backlash values were not properly calibrated, which is a known issue with our software.
- Solution: Please view the How To Guide: Manual Backlash Calibration to fine-tune your backlash values and create near perfect circles.

THE people of Paris, who kept horses in stables at
the back of their houses, have a singular mode of
keeping their hay in lofts of their dwelling houses.
At the top of a spacious and elegant hotel, is to be seen
a projecting crane in the act of raising loads of winter
provision for the stable. When I sirst saw this strange
proce£, my surprise would scarcely have been increase, ed, had I beheld the horse ascending after the hay.
I must not forget to offer some little description of the opera, where, during my stay, thrpugh the politeness of Madame H—,1 had free access to aprivatefeox.
This spacious and splendid theatre is lighted from above by an immense circular lustre of patent lamps. The form of this brilliant light is in.the antique taste, and it is said to have cost two thousand pounds sterling. The effect which it produces in the body of the theatre, and upon the scenery, is admirable. .-It prevents the sight from being divided, and distracted . by girandoles. This establishment is upon so vast a seale, that government, which is the proprietor, is always a loser upon balancing the receipts and disbursements of each night. The st:ige and its machinery have for many years occupied a great number of the subordinate classes of people, who if not employed in this manner, would in all probability beepme burdensome, and unpleasant to the government. To this circumstaiicc is attributable the superiority of the machinery, and over every other theatre which I ever saw. In the English theatre, my eye has often been offended at the representations of the internal parts of houses, in which not a chair, or table is introduced, for the purpose of carrying on the ingenious deception. Upon the stage of the French opera, every scene has its apprppriate furniture, and distinctive appendages, which are always produced as soon as the scene drops, by numerous attendants. From this attention to the minute circumstances of the drama, the illusion becomes enchanting. The orchestra is very sine, and is composed of ninety eminent musicians.

His movements are more graceful, his agility more surprising, and his step more light, sirm, and elastic, than those of any dancer whom I have ev^x seen. He is very lustly considered to be the sirst in Europe. The sirst consul has a private box here, on one side of which, a lofty, hollow, decorative column rises, the flutes of which are open, and through which he views, unseen, the audience and performers. The' beholder might be almost inclined to think that this surprising man had borrowed from our immortal bard his notions of exciting the impreffion of dignity, by a. rare, and well-timed display of his person.

American Associations Day, March 21-22, 2018
As leaders of state, local, and regional associations from across the country and members of the American Associations Day Host Committee, we have come together with the common goal of advocating for our community. We are asking you to join association executives from around the country in DC March 21-22, 2018 to share with Congress The Power of A Message: associations make the world smarter, safer, and better every day.
Join us at American Associations Day to learn about the issues, meet association professionals, and network at the ASAE Board Reception. From tax reform to defending association meetings, there is no shortage of issues that threaten the association community. Tell your story about the critical role your organization plays in your community. Because if Congress has no idea, then how will they stand up for us?
No experience in government relations is needed to participate! ASAE makes it easy: they will provide training on the most effective way to share our message, resources for visiting your Congressional offices, and even a scholarship to help you get there. States from around the country are need for this effort.
There is no registration fee for this event. Additionally, a scholarship is available for attendees from outside the DC-metro area. This event also includes 3.5 CAE credit hours.

Chapter 1:back to you
Chapter 1: back to you
As he walked through the halls of Echo House otherwise known as Eichen House the local mental health facility in Beacon Hills, Stiles began to regret his decision of his temporary incarnation. Especially after seeing a patient hang himself using bed sheets in the hallway, he realised that he didn't belong here even if he was possessed by an evil Japanese spirit and had Frontotemporal Dementia. Just before he got to his room he caught a glimpse of long brown curls as a girl turned away from him and the doctor. Not long after that Stiles got into his room which consisted of four blank walls, a bed, no curtains and no lamp.The next morning, he noticed that a note had been slipped under his door during the night while he had been sitting on the bed staring out of the window. Stiles had been trying this new thing of not sleeping anymore since his nightmares had become his reality. He walked over to the door and picked up the note, as he began to read it he noticed that the delicate twisty writing must that of female's or a very feminine guy. The note read:
Dear Stiles
I know why you're here and what's inside of you. These people can't help you, they'll only make him come back faster and more angry. You need to leave like now!
A friend
Stiles couldn't think straight, he didn't know if this was a joke by another patient or someone had somehow worked out what had been going on with him since the sacrifice and in that case the person was seriously trying to warn him. Before he could process yet another mystery in the long line of the already pre-existing supernatural drama that he was dealing with, a male orderly opened his room door
" Mr Stilinski, it's time for breakfast but first you have get changed" said the orderly gesturing to his current outfit
" you know what? I'm actually not that hungry" Stiles said with his usually amount of sarcasm as the warning from the note was still fresh in his mind
" fine, we can't make you eat only advise you to which I do by the way but you still have to get changed" the orderly said nicely while still showing a slightly humorous side to him in an attempt to relate to Stiles
" why?" Stiles said not fully understanding the older man's reasoning
" well you can't stay in your room all day, isolation isn't good for the mind and if you aren't going to eat anything then I can suggest a nice walk around the courtyard. Be ready in ten Mr Stilinski" he said as he was about to walk away
" call me Stiles... I know what my file says but that's what everyone calls me, no one ever calls me by my real name... actually not a lot of people know what it is" Stiles said knowing he was rambling slightly
" ok Stiles as long as you call me Dan" Dan said before leaving the room to allow Stiles to get changed into something more suitable to the Eichen House dress code
Stiles took out a blue t-shirt and a pair of light grey sweats to wear as well as a pair of clean socks and underwear of his bag. Once he was dressed he slipped his slippers back on and pulled a grey hoodie to wear before Dan came back. When he finally did, they began towards the courtyard while Dan filled him in on the other patients
" and that's Mary" Dan said while pointing out another patient as they went passed her
" let me guess Madeline" Stiles said carrying on the religious related insanity problems that had been the latest part of their conversation
" actually no, she also believes she is Jesus you would be surprised by the amount of Jesuses that we get in here" Dan said as they entered the main part of the courtyard
" hey Dan...who is that?" He said as he caught a more detailed glimpse at the long curly haired brunette from the night before in the hallway
" oh that's Aylee Clarke, she's one of our longest residents here. She's been here since she was eight years old" Dan told him as they watched her sketch something into her sketch pad while she sat on a small brick wall with her back against as he realised that she was totally by herself
" what's her deal?" Stiles asked wanting to know more about this mysterious girl, there was something was about her that he couldn't figure out
" she's scared of people, I mean she completely freaks out every time anyone goes near her. At first it was just when someone touched her and the therapists thought it was about spreading germs but they worked out that it was more about the actual touch of the person rather the germs. She complete isolates herself now" Dan explained as Stiles began to notice that he was right about her isolating herself as there was no one near her
" why? What happened to her" he asked knowing by just looking at her sad eyes that she had a story to tell
" no one really knows, she won't say anything other than every time she does touches someone she sees things like that person's memories like visions. One day she was a normal kid then this happened. They suspect it was some kind of a mental breakdown" Dan told him wondering why he wanted to know so much about her
" I'll be right back, Dan" Stiles told him distracted as he began to walk towards the girl that was slowly becoming a human mystery to him.
Aylee must have been 5 foot 1 with skin so pale that it could have the skin of Snow White, her long brown hair was so curly that even when she had it in two plaits he could still tell that it was really curly. Although he could see a little bit of the stress and everything that now made him look crazy almost as if something was torturing her inside like it was him. When he approached her he could she see her physically flinch away from his presence
" Stiles... What do you want?" She asked her voice shaking as she spoke as she stopped drawing although she kept looking at her sketch pad like it was the most interesting thing in the world
" how...how do you know my name? Wait are you the one that sent me this note Aylee?" Stiles asked her as he sat down on the wall in front of her while he pulled out the note to show her
" if you got my note then why are you still here?" She said pointedly, putting her pencil and sketch pad down as she finally forcing herself to look at him but she still avoided making eye contact with him
" I didn't know if it was a joke or not, seeing how you can't possible know the things that you state that you do in the note" he said hoping that if he pushed her hard enough she would tell him whatever deep dark secret that was obviously killing her
"... I see things like flashes of someone's memories usually when I touch someone but with you it happened when I saw you at the gate with your dad and Scott through my bedroom window" she said knowing he would think she was crazy but then again so was he
" I can't believe I'm going to ask this but what did you see?" Stiles asked knowing that there was obviously more supernatural creatures out there than meets the eye
" I saw you and Scott out in the woods looking for a body, Scott trying to kill you while he transformed, you and your friends being trapped in your school by an... Alpha, you being paralysed by the...Kanima, some guy called Gerard coughing up black fluid, a whole pack of big bad Alphas, the three fold sacrifices, you and Scott and Allison switching places with your parents in the sacrifices, your nightmares, the Nogitsune possessing you, the fact that your scans showed you have Frontotemporal Dementia. Want me to continue?"she explained hoping that none of that was common knowledge as she stumbled over unfamiliar words
" no! there's no way you can know any of that, what are you? Another banshee? A psychic maybe?" He said more to himself than to her as he tried to work all of this out in his head without the help of Scott or the others
" I'm not anything Stiles, I'm a human with a slight mental health issue. I've warned you to leave so as far as I'm concerned my part is done" Aylee said as she picked up her things and began to walk away
" wait!" Stiles said trying to get her to stop walking by gently grabbing her arm, however as soon as he touched her arm she screamed out in pain as if his touch actually burned her. Before he knew it there were nurses and orderlies everywhere pushing him away from Aylee and onto the floor where he was able to see the basement from his nightmares through the holes in the grate
After the incident with Aylee, Stiles knew that this was right place to get answers even if they weren't the ones he had expected or wanted to get. So far all he knew was that this girl had some kind of powers that allowed her to see into people's pasts by touching them except when it came to him because she only needed look at him and saw so much. Also that his touch had physically caused her pain. All Stiles knew was that he had see her again if not just to make sure she was ok. Little did he know that he would be placed in the same group therapy with her and Ms Morrell, his old school counsellor and Deaton's sister.
" so last time we were talking about guilt and the effect that it has on us as well as other. Aylee, would you like to continue what you were saying last time about how you felt guilty about the things you did to your friends and family before you came here?" Ms Morrell asked politely while glancing towards Stiles every so often as if trying to tell him something
" actually I said that I hoped they felt guilty for putting me in here and not listening to what I was saying to them. Also that I felt that the stress of everything that I did to them was caused by themselves" Aylee said with a bitter anger while staring at her knees that were pressed against her chest
" Aylee we've discussed this before, your family and friends were concerned about you. You started to write the things that you claimed you had seen from other people's past all over your bedroom walls. They were scared you were going to hurt someone or yourself" Ms Morrell said trying to reason with her while unknowingly giving Stiles more information about Aylee
" but I didn't and now I won't cause the likely hood is that I'll be in here for the rest of my life. Why don't you leave me alone and talk to the new guy cause I know for a fact he must have a lot to feel guilty about?" She told her not caring anymore if she sounded crazy or not
" ok Stiles, any thoughts on guilt? What does it make you feel?" She asked wondering what his answer would be based on
" it makes me feel nervous" Stiles said looking around the room then quickly avoiding the places where he was seeing the Nogitsune while rubbing his neck skittishly
" does anyone know what we call someone who doesn't feel any guilt?" She said reluctantly taking her eyes off Stiles to look at the whole group
" a sociopath" said another patient that Stiles remembered Dan saying his name was Oliver
"That's right Oliver, a sociopath is someone who feels no remorse for what they have done to...others..." She said trailing off the end of her sentence as she noticed the red jagged lines on Stiles neck
" Dr Morrell, are you okay?" A patient asked noticing her strange behaviour
" yes I'm fine thank you Beth, however I am going to have cut this session short for today. Stiles can I see you in my office...NOW!" She said gathering her things and leaving the group abruptly
Stiles didn't know what was going on but something told him since she was Deaton's sister and a Druid emissary that it wasn't about his lack of discussion in group therapy. He knew it must be supernatural related or more specifically Nogitsune related.
"I need you to lift your top up so I can examine your back and neck" she said as soon as he closed the door causing them to be alone
" well that's defiantly a new one" he said trying to lighten the already tense mood while she gently examined his back and neck
" you have what's called a Lichtenberg figure, it's what happens to people who are struck by lightening. I suspect that it's a side effect of the wolf lichen that my brother injected you with which is still in your system. Once those marks fade away and they will, the Nogitsune will come back more angry than before" she informed him with the careful balance of casual and urgency that only she could use
"So what do we do when he comes back?"Stiles asked trying to form a plan in his head while he was still processing this new information
" you need to take these, they're amphetamines which means that they will keep you from sleeping because that's when you are most vulnerable therefore most likely to let him in. However they are only a temporary solution so when the Nogitsune takes control of you again I will use this" she said handing him a bottle filled with the amphetamines pills in them while holding a vial of something in her other hand
" that's Pancuronium Bromide, it causes respiroraty paralysis. It's what they use as the lethal injection, you plan kill me to stop him...why?" He said trying to think of a better solution other than becoming collateral damage
"I'm doing what I have always done Stiles, I am maintaining the balance" she said as if it was the simplest thing in the world
Stiles gave her a look of pure disgust before walking out of the room so he could head to the nearest boys bathroom in order to take the amphetamines so that he could stay awake. He couldn't believe that Ms Morrell, the woman who was willing to kill him in order to destroy the wanted creature inside of him, was related to Dr Deaton, the man who was always keen to help them save themselves and others. He was so lost in thoughts he hadn't noticed the steam coming from one of the showers. Once he took the pills, he looked in the mirror to see a figure with long brown hair looking at him.
" oh my god... I'm ...I'm sorry, I didn't realise that anyone was in here let alone that it was you. I swear I didn't see anything...not that I was looking " Stiles said realising that he was stumbling over his words as he began to wonder if he had walked into the right bathroom while trying not to look at her naked body
" it's fine and don't worry you're in the right bathroom, it's just that showers in the girls bathroom are awful but the ones in here are warmer and have a better water pressure. Plus no one ever comes in here" she said carrying on with her shower as if he weren't there
" I'm sorry, I guess someone forgot to tell the new guy. Wait... How did you know what I was thinking? Can you read my thoughts?" He said as a thought occurred to him once he had processed what she just said
" noI'm not a mind reading and I already told you I'm not psychic... Now you're looking" she said walking towards him as she wrapped a towel around herself
" I actually wanted to talk you about what happened earlier, has anything ever happened like that before? Are you okay? Did you see anything?" He said hoping he hadn't just scared her away with his twenty questions
" its like I told you before Stiles, usually with people there needs to be touching for me to see their memories and once the connection is broken the memories stop. It's never hurt like that before but then again I didn't need to touch you to see your memories, all I did was look at you...and yeah I saw something" she said getting quieter at the end since she was still not used to talking so openly about the things she saw
" what did you see, Aylee?" He asked her softly, knowing this stuff was hard for her to talk about since it was the one thing she feared more than anything else
" I saw you in a basement of some kind tied to a chair while yelling at him, the Nogitsune, to let her go and he was yelling at you let him in. I didn't see who she was... this is all a first for me, I've never seen anything other than the past Stiles" she said walking over to him once she hand put her top on
" no you did good Aylee, thanks. This just means I need to get into the basement down stairs more than before, there's something about this place and the Nogitsune" he said trying to work everything out aloud more for himself than for her
" you can't get down there. I mean it's locked and no one has a key, not even Brunski the head orderly. Believe me I've tried, I thought it might have been a way out of here" she explained once she saw the confused look on his face
" ok, is there any other way down there that you know of? It could lead me to some much needed answers because everything leads back to that basement" he said trying to stress his reasons to her
" theres one and it would means we would have to go through the closed unit. Thats where they keep the really insane ones" she said walking past him and out of the door knowing he would follow her
They went through the closed unit where there was a secret door that led to a hidden passage that Aylee had stated led to the basement. Stiles went first so that he could take the hit if anything happened to them and that she could escape or at least prepare herself for the worse. Once they were in the basement, Stiles noticed the symbol in the wall that was made during his nightmare by the Nogitsune. He went closer to get a better look at it and began to touch it as a way of checking it out some more.
" what does it mean?" Aylee asked getting more and more curious by the minute by this strange boy and the strange things that surrounded him
" it's a Japanese symbol, it means 'self'" he said gently as she crouched lower so she was closer to the symbol and to him
" tell me more" she said already knowing half of the story from his memories, she knew all too well that everyone had a story whether they liked it or not
" you may not like me if you knew more" he said showing the fact he was ashamed of the things the Nogitsune had done while possessing his body, even if it wasn't him who had done those things
" you're forgetting that I'm a girl who has seen people memories, including yours Stiles. I promise I won't judge you" she said trying to reassure him that he could trust her with his secrets
Stiles began to tell her everything that had happened since the sacrifice had occurred including how he had felt which is something that no one knew including Scott. As he told her everything they began to pull over some of the boxes that they had found in the basement over to an old couch so that they could look through them together. Aylee took out some pictures that she had just found in a box in front of her, in one of them was a picture of a man being strapped to a chair while still awake as several doctors surrounded him as they drilled holes into his head
" it's called trephination, they would drill holes into patients heads. It was used to treat depression and other mental ailments, back when they used other unnecessary and extreme treatments" he said taking the picture from her as he could tell that it was upsetting her
" like electro shock therapy, ice baths and what do you know? This place even had the whole padded cell and straight jacket thing going on. They documented everything!" she said showing him the other pictures she had found in horror
" urgghh, there's nothing here" he said in frustration as he threw yet another folder away as he began to show the signs of stress, panic and worry by tapping his leg while he placed his head onto his clasped hands
" Stiles don't worry we'll find something, I promise" she said knowing that she would do anything that would save him, despite the fact she had only him for a day she already felt a strong connection with him
" can you do me a favour and check the lines on my back? Are they fading?" He asked her as he pulled his top up exposing his back and neck to her
" yeah they're almost completely gone... I'm guessing that's a bad thing" she said as he had nodded slightly while she helped him put his top down causing her hand to brush against his skin. Both of them suddenly felt a burst of electricity pulse through their bodies at each other touch which ended once Aylee took her hand away
" ohh my... Did you feel that too?" Stiles asked already knowing by the look on her face that she did, he slowly went to grab her hand as soon as he touched her skin they felt that same burst of electricity
" yeah I defiantly feel that" she said as they watched their hands raise up so that they were finger tip to finger tip and palm to Palm then eventually their hands were clasped together
Stiles and Aylee both looked at each other knowing something was about to happen when Aylee suddenly leaned forward and passionately kissed him. The kiss felt like it was most rightest thing in the world and that it had last hours or days rather than minutes. Aylee eventually pulled away to see his reaction.
" was that your first kiss?" He whispered remembering that Dan had told him that she had been in here since she was eight
" yeah" she whispered back knowing that she didn't need to feel embarrassed about that with Stiles since everything was out in the open when it came to them
" was it okay?" He asked back still whispering suddenly wondering whether or not it was a disappoint to her
" yeah" she said again smiling that smile that was so rare but was able to completely light up her face and expose both the person she had been as well as the person she was slowly becoming
" do you want to try it again?" He asked needing to feel that sense of connection that he had only felt with her and no one else not even when he kissed Lydia
Instead of answering, she just leaned forward slightly as Stiles soon realised her answer and leaned in to meet her lips as they crashed into his. This time the kiss was passionate but there was more of a desperate need that wasn't there before. Stiles's hand wondered all over her body trying to touch every part of her all at once as if she was suddenly going to disappear. Where as Aylee allowed her hands to roam and gently tug at his hair but also then allowing them to trail down to his neck. Stiles gently and slowly pushed Aylee back at the same time that she began to fall backwards pulling him with her, he let his hand trail up from her knee and back again. Aylee gently pushed them up so that they were sitting up again, she pulled away after gently tugging the neckline on his tops. Stiles tried to find her lips again before opening his eyes to what had changed
" there's something else I want to try" she whispered since they were inches away from each other, she decided to go with her gut feeling which was something she never done
" something else?" He repeated while coping her whispered tones since he didn't want to scare her away just yet
he pulled back slightly as she began to take off her top exposing her body as well as her light green lace bra, for a while they just looked at each other. For Aylee, she was trying to work out his reaction hoping that he wouldn't reject her. For Stiles, he was trying to work out what to do as he wanted respect her as much as he wanted to what she was implying. Soon they both forgot about their worries as they leaned into kiss again, this time she let her hand go towards his hair as his went for her leg. They both leaned back so that Aylee was lying on the couch as Stiles hitched her leg up slightly. Soon he pulled back a bit to allow her to get herself comfortable but before long they were back for a short kiss, although they stopped briefly just looked at each other trying to take it all in. Aylee couldn't help but give Stiles a big bright smile while he gave a small smile and bit his bottom lip as he gently stroked her face, not quite believing this was happening. Soon he leaned back then after a kiss or two he began to focus on her neck by gently covering it with kissing overwhelming her with desire. As he went back to kissing her lips, he took both of her hands in his and clasped them together and he lifted them up to lie next to their heads effectually pinning her to the couch.
After they had finished and got dressed again, they settled into each other and began to cuddle on the couch. Stiles was propped up on one elbow behind Aylee so that her back was touching his chest, one of his hands was draped over her waist while the other wrapped over Aylee so that they're hands were once again clasped so that Stiles could gently rub the back of her hand with his thumb. Where as Aylee was lying down holding onto one of his arms while tracing the details of his hand with one of her fingers, she had never been so relaxed and causal while touching someone for so long that it was still all new to her. They looked at each other for a moment with such love and affection, just happy to be close to one other. It was enough to forget all their worries and fears. Once they looked away, they beginning to think back on what just happened between them as Aylee's eyes fall onto the Japanese symbol on the wall when she noticed something weird about it that she hadn't seen before.
" Stiles! Look!...do you hear that? " She said getting up as Stiles followed where she was looking then went over with her to find out what she had seen as she began to tap on the wall making the discovery that it was hollow
" wait a mintue... Aylee stand back" he said picking up a pipe that was lying around as he began to hit the wall repeatedly till he smashed a big enough of a hole for both of them to see what was inside
" oh my god, these guys should really think about cleaning this place every so often" she said trying to distract herself from the dead body that they had just found
" Aylee, you know who this is right? I mean you recognise him from the flashes you got from me?" He said trying to keep his voice from shaking but so far failing
" yeah it's the Nogitsune, do you think it means that he was a patient here? Do you want me to touch him to see if I can get anything from him?" She said checking all of the pockets on the body as she tried to keep her voice steady as she made her suggestion
" no I don't think it will work, he doesn't have a brain anymore and I don't want you to get hurt. He must have been, otherwise how did he get in here" he said checking if there was anything usefully on the floor
" Stiles, do you recognise anyone in this picture?" She said knowing that he would, as she handed him a picture that she had found in the body's pocket
" yeah one of them, I have to get this to Scott..." He said before he suddenly felt an intense buzzing feeling in his side that cause him to fall against the wall. He turned to the side and saw that the same had happened to Aylee as he heard a small cry coming from her as she went down
" you would be surprised what the orderlies leave lying around the place like Brunski leaving his stun gun carelessly lying around or his haldol" Oliver said before injecting Aylee in the leg with it, knocking her out cold
" Oliver, what are you doing?" Stiles asked his voice matching his body by shaking from the electricity buzzing through his muscles
" I'm going to let all of the evil spirits out Stiles" he said picking up the electric drill and pressing the on button
When Stiles woke up he soon realised that he was strapped to a chair just like Aylee said he would be, only this time he knew exactly who the her he talked about was and why he had said it.
" Oliver stop this... Stop...OLIVER STOP" Stiles repeated as Oliver got closer to his head with the drill after he coughed up blood and a dead dragonfly
" no, start with her" a rough voice that Stiles now knew all too well by now said to Oliver
" you! You did this? You got into his head!" Stiles said now seeing where the Nogitsune was hiding, he wondered how he hadn't seen this coming
" every Dracula needs a Renfield" the Nogitsune told him showing him how little a human life really meant to him, at the same time Stiles saw Oliver beginning to strap Aylee to a chair just as she began to come around
" just let her go" he said since her getting hurt was the last thing he wanted to happen, he knew at that moment he would do anything to prevent that from happening
" let me in...Stiles do you want her to leave here alive? Do you want us to leave here? We can walk out of this place" the Nogitsune said baiting him with something he knew Stiles wanted
" just let her go please" Stiles begged as tears began to form in his eye as he watched Oliver continue to fasten the restrains on to her wrists and ankles
It began to become a shouting match between Stiles and the Nogitsune as Stiles shouted at him to let Aylee go and the Nogitsune shouted at him to let him in as it was the only way to save her. All the while Oliver had pressed the on button to the drill on and began to slowing get closer to Aylee's head. At that moment Stiles knew exactly what he had to do as he relaxed his body and let all the fight out of him as he fell asleep and allowed the Nogitsune to take over.
" Oliver stop" the Nogitsune in Stiles body demanded as he broke free from the restraints and slowly walked towards Oliver and took the drill of him as he firmly hit him with it causing Oliver to pass out
" Stiles, help me!" Aylee weakly said as Stiles turned to walk away from her, leaving her alone in the basement tied to the chair
Aylee had woken up to discover that an orderly had found her in the basement still tied to the chair with Oliver on the floor. They figured that Stiles had tortured them both to discover a way out and had escaped as Oliver couldn't remember what happened. Making Aylee the only one who knew the truth or at least half of it. She return to her room to pack her things as well as to get changed into one of her outfits that there were usually used for going on trips. She then signed herself out against their advice, just as Ms Morrell caught up to her
" do you know where you're going?" She asked losing all pretence of not knowing who she was or that Aylee didn't know what she was
" no but I know who I am looking for" she said without stopping or slowing down
" Scott McCall and I know where you can find him" she told Aylee as she handed her a small piece of paper with an address on it
Soon she was walking out of the gate, more determined than ever to find and save Stiles no matter what it costed her.

Immunizations are a critical means of preventing infectious disease. Immunizations expose the body to a small, safe amount of a virus so that the next time your body is exposed, your immune system recognizes it and sets out to destroy it.
Preventing Infectious Disease with Immunizations
Bacteria, viruses, parasites and other germs (microbes) cause many human diseases. Vaccines can help protect against some of these microbes and save millions of lives.
During immunization, you are exposed to a very small and safe amount of part of a microbe. Your body's immune system responds to the vaccine by making substances called antibodies. If you are exposed to the microbe itself at a later time, the antibodies will kill the microbe and prevent infection, or you may have a milder infection.
Recommended childhood immunizations
In the U.S., many vaccines are first given during infancy. Even most premature infants can be immunized on a normal schedule. Experts recommend that all children through 18 years of age be routinely vaccinated against the following diseases:
- Measles, mumps and rubella (MMR)
- Diphtheria
- Tetanus
- Pertussis (whooping cough)
- Poliomyelitis
- Varicella (chickenpox)
- Hepatitis A
- Hepatitis B
- Haemophilus influenzae type b (a cause of meningitis)
- Human papillomavirus
- Influenza (flu)
- Pneumococcal disease
- Meningococcal disease
- Rotavirus
Common adult immunizations
Most vaccines are given by an injection. Some can be taken orally (by mouth) or by a nasal spray. Vaccines against the following diseases are recommended for adults:
- Influenza (flu)
- Pneumococcal pneumonia
- Hepatitis A
- Hepatitis B
- Meningococcal meningitis
- Tetanus
- Diphtheria
- Pertussis
- Measles, mumps and rubella (MMR)
- Shingles
- Human papillomavirus (HPV)
- Varicella (chickenpox)
Travel medicine and immunizations
Travel medicine at Franciscan Health fills a need in the community by providing travel immunizations at an affordable cost to individuals and companies.
More than 61 million U.S. residents are expected to travel internationally. Yet a large majority of them will not do the one thing that could mean the difference between a successful trip and a disaster: get vaccinated against diseases prevalent in the countries they'll be visiting. Studies have shown that while individuals believed that vaccines were effective for disease prevention, few are vaccinated for their journey.
It is important to plan ahead. Some vaccinations are given in a one to three shot series over a period of time. It takes 14 to 30 days from the time of the immunization for some antibody production to take place. Certain vaccines for different diseases should be administered four weeks apart.

Yesterday I watched one of the cool movie of 2001, The Adjustment Bureau, starring Matt Damon and Emily Blunt. This is one of the cool movie because of its story which is different from others. You can say that the story might raise questions about Free Will but overall it showed the concept of Options and choices.
The story is kind of straight forward, a person loves a girl and he is willing to sacrifice everything for her but a secret bureau "The Adjustment Bureau" is not allowing him to be with the girl. Reason? The Bureau's Chairman has decided a plan for the person in which the girl doesn't fit. So the bureau does everything to stop them. Now it seems easy story isn't it? But the key point here is that the Bureau person's have special powers and infact they are Angels while the Chairman is supposed to be the God. In one scene when Matt Damon asked Anthony Mackie that whether he is chairman then he replied that Chairman is known by many names and you might have met him/her as he/she meets people in disguise.
This movie is a kind of extension of my thought that there are methods by which we can let everyone think that they have been offered choices but we control what they will choose. This is the same with God, he gives us choices but if he wants then he control which choice we make. Then where is the "Free Will".
Do watch this movie if you want to see something new, fast and action paced. Though if you want movies for smashing fight scenes then there are not those kind of scenes in this movie but still its really fast paced movie.
