26 Best Movies To Watch After Back to the Future Part III (1990)
Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom
A decade's worth of superhero movies goes out with a big, stupid grin on its face. One would hope that a film franchise with as much money poured into it as the DC Cinematic Universe would rage, rage against the dying of the light. Yet here we are, limping towards the end of a slate of superhero flicks marred by terrible reviews (Shazam! 2), controversy (The Flash), or sheer too-little-too-late-ness (Blue Beetle). As the superhero genre continues to flag in a year of duds, DC's set for a reinvention, a clean slate courtesy of former Marvel it-boy James Gunn and co-head Peter Safran. Before they can wipe the board and start all over with the label's slate of classic capes, though, there's a few rounds left in the last guy's chamber to fire off. That's what Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom feels like, easily the least objectionable of the DC films to come out in 2023. Problem is, that's not saying much. A sequel to Aquaman should have been a slam dunk: Director James Wan's 2018 take on the King of Atlantis was a welcome breath of neon-soaked pop art in a franchise studded with Snyderesque dourness, leaning into the innate silliness of an underwater take on Flash Gordon. Jason Momoa is as effortless a casting as you could imagine for DC's hardest-to-pin-down superhero, brimming with giddy frat-boy energy. At its best moments, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom leans into its star's goofiness and even lets it infect some of the rest of the cast. But there's no escaping the feeling of weariness, both for a cast and crew who are just repeating the novel beats of the first and an audience that's just plain starved for something new.

The Marvels
Most films don't come with homework. The same cannot be said of the Marvel Cinematic Universe's new movie, The Marvels. Unless you're a devoted MCU fan with an encyclopedic knowledge of both the movies and the Disney+ TV originals, it's difficult to understand the mechanics of this disastrously convoluted entry in the floundering franchise. It feels like being dropped headfirst into a crossover episode based on three shows you've never seen -- mostly because it is. The Marvels kicks off with a bit of genuine visual interest (that never appears again) in the form of hand-drawn comics created by teenage superhero-slash-Captain Marvel fangirl Kamala Khan (Iman Vellani), aka Ms. Marvel. Vellani, who previously appeared as Kamala on the little-seen Disney+ series Ms. Marvel, is a spunky, hilarious teenage heroine whose impressive comedic timing buoys the leaden, disjointed script. She so thoroughly steals the show that it's disappointing this movie wasn't just about her; instead, it's a confused mix of storylines involving Kamala, Captain Marvel (Brie Larson), and astronaut Monica Rambeau (Teyonah Parris, Candyman). It feels like the powers that be made a huge mistake in consigning her story to a poorly publicized streaming original, instead of letting her headline a film on her own. Continue Reading →
Totally Killer
The low-budget confines of Blumhouse movies mean that any idea can become a movie, including bold original visions like Whiplash or Get Out. Unfortunately, it also means a lot of subpar stuff can easily get the green light. The latest example is the new Amazon/Blumhouse collaboration, Totally Killer. Hailing from director Nahnatchka Khan, Totally Killer dares to ask a question no reasonable soul was pondering. "What if Happy Death Day and Hot Tub Time Machine had a tedious baby?" Buckle up, horror devotees. Here comes yet another dose of 1980s nostalgia and some frighteningly lousy editing. Continue Reading →
Meg 2: The Trench
Ever since James Cameron boldly wrote "S" after ALIEN on a chalkboard and then changed it to a dollar sign, the quickest way to sequel-ize your killer extraterrestrial/reptile/mammal/whatever has been to add more of it. You scored a hit with people fighting one giant mosquito? Great, here's a sequel with six of them. Continue Reading →
My mother was not much of a movie fan. They just never interested her that much, but when it became obvious that I was obsessed with them by the time I reached preschool age, she did nothing to discourage me. Every once in a while she'd let me know that the feature on the The 3:30 Movie (my primary outlet for watching films in those pre-cable, pre-VCR days) was something that I had to watch. Oddly, her instincts often proved to be correct and I was exposed at a very early (perhaps inappropriately so age to such films as The Producers, Duel and the Joan Rivers-penned TV movie The Girl Most Likely To. . ., all of which would be long-standing favorites of mine. Continue Reading →
There's something to be said for a ramshackle film that delights in itself and doesn't take anything especially seriously. Unfortunately, what a filmmaker and their fans find fun may read as piffle or drudgery to less dialed-in audiences. Case in point: Kaboom. Continue Reading →
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania
As the Marvel Cinematic Universe got bigger and bigger and bigger, it was downright refreshing to see something as fittingly small and low-stakes as the Ant-Man films break up all the universe-ending tension. It was nice; after watching the Avengers punch through an exhausting sea of robotic baddies and set up a bunch of Infinity Stone dross, along came Paul Rudd as a smirking, kinda-dumb thief who lucked his way into a shrinking suit he used on a tech heist. After Thanos snapped half the universe away, we flashed back to good ol' Scott Lang on a caper to bring his mentor Hank Pym's (Michael Douglas) wife Janet Van Dyne (Michelle Pfeiffer) back from the Quantum Realm. They were lighter, more carefree, a much-needed sitcom wing of the MCU. Continue Reading →
Magic Mike's Last Dance
In the climactic monologue of the original Magic Mike, Mike Lane (Channing Tatum) says, "I don't want to be a forty-year-old stripper." It's an affecting scene that shows that Mike understands the dead-end nature of his current lifestyle and his desire to escape, and it makes the ending where he gives stripping up a satisfying one.

The Munsters
Ever since Rob Zombie dug through the ditches, burned through the witches, and slammed it in the back of his Dragula, it was inevitable his career would lead to The Munsters. It's where the coffin car originated and feels like the Rosetta Stone for Zombie's lifelong passions for the weird and macabre. The TV show aired on CBS in 1964, just six days after the premiere of that other spooky household, The Addams Family. Both shows were satires of the lily-white (and, thanks to racially discriminatory laws, literally White) suburbs that were taking over America. The Munsters was the more popular show then--and the kitschier--which might explain why it holds a special place in Zombie's heart. Continue Reading →
Birdemic 3: Sea Eagle
James Nguyen hammers down the end of his bad-movie trilogy with a true stinker of birdemic proportions... and not in a fun way. (This review is part of our coverage of Fantastic Fest 2022.) With its stilted acting, incompetent screenplay and direction, and special effects that looked like someone puttering around with After Effects for the very first time, James Nguyen's "ecological horror" film Birdemic: Shock and Terror (2010) became a cult favorite among bad film fanatics, especially latecomers to the hoopla surrounding The Room looking for something they could claim as their own. Continue Reading →
Clerks III
Considering Kevin Smith's career from a 2022 perspective is a fascinating exercise. His early output, from 1994's Clerks to 2001's Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, were once quintessential texts for Gen X / film nerds, treated with the same reverence as the films of Quentin Tarantino or Robert Rodriguez. But that isn't the case anymore, and hasn't been for over a decade. Continue Reading →
Spin Me Round
Amber's (Alison Brie) dead-eyed stare in the opening montage of Spin Me Round tells you everything you need to know about where she's at in life. She's the manager of a fast-casual "Italian" restaurant, and from what we see about how they make the alfredo sauce, the quotes are very much warranted. Her life is small and dull and she's secretly ready and hoping for an adventure to sweep her off her feet. When Amber wins a trip to Tuscany, the film doesn't take her or the audience on the journey you'd expect, which creates something of a mess for everyone. Continue Reading →

Day Shift
It's fascinating to watch a movie that could have been made any time within the past 30 years. That's not the same thing as "timeless," I'm talking about a movie that just feels like the script lingered in development hell for possibly decades before finally getting made, with only the slightest bit of tweaking to bring it up to date. Netflix's new horror-comedy Day Shift could have been made in 1996, 2005 or 2012, and the only thing that would need to be changed is the cell phone technology. Like a lot of Netflix's original content, it's polished, yet dull, with a budget that doesn't explain how forgettable it is. Continue Reading →
Thor: Love and Thunder
It's no understatement to say that Taika Waititi's Thor: Ragnarok was a welcome shot in the arm for both the titular God of Thunder (Chris Hemsworth) and the Marvel Cinematic Universe as a whole. There's something to be said for cutting out the creaky Shakespearean grandeur of the first two Thors in favor of whiz-bang sitcom theatrics, with a dash of Guardians of the Galaxy's signature irreverence thrown in, all leather and ironic needle-drops and "well that happened"s. The result was a whiz-bang sci-fi action comedy that made a buttload of cash, extended Thor's lease on cinematic life, and catapulted Waititi into Hollywood's A-list. Continue Reading →
Jurassic World Dominion
In the video game version of the original Jurassic Park for the Sega Genesis, you can choose to play the side scroller as either Dr. Grant or a Velociraptor. Of course, you choose the raptor almost every time because dinosaurs are cooler than humans. It's a great lesson for making a fun video game, but not for making a successful movie franchise. Continue Reading →
Sing 2
Aadrman's original 1989 Creature Comforts did something unique. Director Nick Park took interviews with everyday Britain residents and then put those vocals into the mouths of stop-motion animated zoo animals. The result was fascinating, as two disparate elements combined to tap into the daily woes which inform our lives. Whether you're a lion trapped in an exhibit, or a man just yearning for the space of your original home country, melancholy emotions are universal. Continue Reading →
The Electrical Life of Louis Wain
The Electrical Life of Louis Wain is an alternatively madcap and melancholic retelling of the artistic and personal life of the peculiar Louis Wain by making a lot of noise but not saying much. Biographical films have to tread a very difficult line. They must tell their central characters' life and accomplishments while humanizing them through their rituals and quirks. And they must do this all without turning the movie idealization or fetishization of such things. Narratively, what Louis Wain gets right is that focusing on the man as a deeply troubled individual and melds his artistic work along with the afflictions that he suffered. What it gets wrong is its inability to dig deeper into Louis Wain beyond his whimsies and mannerisms and the surrounding greater Victorian English culture. Continue Reading →
The Tomorrow War
It's clear from the starting gun that Paramount originally intended to push The Tomorrow War as a major summer theatrical release. But given the pandemic, Amazon Prime Video has stepped up to rollout this 140-minute sci-fi action romp starring Chris Pratt of Marvel's Cosmic corner and Jurassic World fame. Continue Reading →
At this point, the mechanics of a Fast and Furious movie are no secret. Running on an engine of blistering sincerity, the over-the-top action inevitably finds Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) pulled in for "one last job." You'll see a street race populated by women in bikinis. Fancy cars will defy the laws of physics as they inevitably crash, fly, or crash while flying. Roman (Tyrese Gibson) shall vamp and riff to kingdom come. Coronas will be consumed and, in the end, family will emerge victorious. Continue Reading →

IND vs ENG Test series: India squad announced for final 3 Tests against England; check who's in
The Indian cricket squad has been announced for the final 3 Tests against England.
Squad: Rohit Sharma (C), Jasprit Bumrah (VC), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, KL Rahul*, Rajat Patidar, Sarfaraz Khan, Dhruv Jurel (WK), KS Bharat (WK), R Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja*, Axar Patel, Washington Sundar, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohd. Siraj, Mukesh Kumar, Akash Deep
Meanwhile, Virat Kohli will remain unavailable for selection for the remainder of the series due to personal reasons, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) reported. The board fully respects and supports Kohli's decision, BCCI added.
The BCCI medical team will play a role in the participation of Ravindra Jadeja and KL Rahul. Whether they will play or not is subject to the fitness clearance.
Shreyas Iyer ruled out
LiveMint earlier reported that Shreyas Iyer was likely to miss the remaining three Tests as he was dealing with back stiffness and groin pain. The discomfort was particularly noticeable when he played forward defence.
Iyer's gear, unlike his teammates', did not head to Rajkot, where the next match is going to take place. His kit was sent to his Mumbai residence instead.
Remaining three Tests
The next two matches will be played at Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Rajkot on February 15-19 and at JSCA International Stadium Complex in Ranchi on February 23-27, respectively. The fifth match will take place at Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamshala on March 7-11.
The India vs England cricket series is currently locked at 1-1.

ProWrestling.net is reporting that TNA's popular ReAction program has been canceled. The program has drawn generally positive reviews from a generally negative internet wrestling community. The ratings for ReAction have not been stellar but have been respectable.
There has been as of this writing no official word from SpikeTV or TNA Wrestling so while the report says it is confirmed that is not the case. ReAction was deemed canceled in the past by the pro wrestling press and was not. ProWrestling.net is generally reliable so this may have some merit. If this indeed becomes official we will pass it along.

I noticed how many people didnt know how to use the com wrapper in VB6. Here
is an example http://xeonsoft.d2g.com/awsdk/comsdk1.zip ill write a few others 1 day and maybe a .NET one too Xeon Bot Build 1 ReleasedApr 26, 2003, 11:41pm
I have just completed my first bot intended for public use. Although its
very basic I plan to advance on it. I have made many far more advanced bots designed for specific tasks but these were for personal or private use. Other bots I have made for public use are still not finished like Dynamic RPG Bot. These I hope to finish in the future. Xeon Bot currently acts as: *Chat bot *Greeter bot *Customs Aide I plan on building a scripting system and/or a dictionary system simular to the system used in preston. To download the bot go to: http://xeonsoft.d2g.com/xeonbot/ Xeon Bot Build 1 ReleasedApr 27, 2003, 12:04am
PS sorry im thottalling the web server ill try find a host for the download
sometime Xeon Bot Build 2 ReleasedApr 28, 2003, 7:48pm
Build 2 is not the planned version of build 2 many features are not included
they will be added for build 3. Build 2 is mainly bug fixes of build 1 and some template features which will be built up on in build 3 Query for Com wrapper helpApr 28, 2003, 9:03pm
Does anyone have VB Query Example for the com wrapper mines isn't quite
working. DocumentationMay 2, 2003, 6:01pm
I have started on a visual basic com wrapper documentation since so many ppl
are complaining that grimmsoft is down or the dont understand the c++ examples or they dont know how to use the com wrapper. I will be adding the Functions and Events in the next few days but for now check out http://xeonsoft.d2g.com/awsdk/ DocumentationMay 2, 2003, 6:50pm
Yeah im throtalling the bandwidth at the moment XeonTV kills the connection
otherwise 20 hits every 10 seconds on average :S lol I am planning on upgrading my connection and i may move this to a new website Visual Basic 6 SDK?Jun 22, 2003, 8:34pm
What ever you do dont start using AwSdkOcx5.ocx as its out of date and
doesn't contain all the latest 3.3 features AwSdk.dll contains all 3.3 features soon a 3.4 SDK will be released in the dll format ONLY VB SKD?Jun 23, 2003, 11:42pm
The ones on Grimms site were for AwSdkOcx#.Ocx my ones
www.xeonsoft.co.uk/awsdk/ are for the AwSdk.dll version aka com wrapper and are still being written QuestionJul 1, 2003, 5:15am
(ignore the word rap)
Either Put this in a Module or on your form If its on the form it will be accessable from other forms using form1.Console ("Blah",3,1,2,False,True,sdk.AwChatSession) But on that form or if its placed in a module it will be Console "Blah",3,1,2,False,True,sdk.AwChatSession Public Function Console(message as string,red as integer,green as integer,blue as integer,italics as boolaen,bold as boolean,session_id as long) as long sdk.AwConsoleMessage = Message sdk.AwConsoleRed = red sdk.AwConsoleGreen = green sdk.AwConsoleBlue = blue sdk.AwConsoleItalics = italics sdk.AwConsoleBold = bold Console = sdk.AwConsoleMsg (session_id) End Function now you can even get the RC from it If Console("Blah",3,1,2,False,True,sdk.AwChatSession) <> 0 then msgbox "Console failed" Installation problemJul 1, 2003, 4:34am
Ok, i take it your on 2k or XP place the AwSdk2.dll in C:\Windows\system32
or C:\WINNT\System32 or what ever Open VB .net start a new project or load 1 The AwSdk.dll and AwSdk2.dll are a ActiveX Control So they are treated as a component not a reference Right click your Toolbox go customise toolbox Browser to the location of the dll select ok then AwSdk2 Class should be on the list check it and press OK Now you just drop it on to your form ok and sdk.aw_init(32) for this version if AW_BUILD doesn't work right (past expirences) vb6 greeter bot example requires AwSdk2.dll [4kb attached]Jul 1, 2003, 4:59am

So I only have to say this once not twice the 2 posts are to show people how
to use the COM VB Sdk. Since its only avaliable in Com wrapper for 3.4 ive made examples cause still even now i get ppl almsot everyday bugging me how to use it im sure other ppl get the same. So select your language remember Sdk.aw_string(AW_STRING_NAME) Sdk.aw_int(AW_INT_NAME) Sdk.aw_bool(AW_BOOL_NAME) and Sdk.aw_string(AW_STRING_NAME),"Something" Sdk.aw_int(AW_INT_NAME),123 Sdk.aw_bool(AW_BOOL_NAME),True Ocx is 4 loosers... or ppl who have very long source code and are too lazy to convert but new bots should use this The last 2 postsJul 2, 2003, 11:01am
Yeah maybe you could try replacing AW_STRING_NAME with something like
AW_AVATAR_NAME which is a string http://www.activeworlds.com/sdk/aw_attribute.htm In .Net when using sdk.aw_string() just type AW_AVATAR_NAME or start to type it. It will bring up a list and put all the Sdk.aw_string(AWSDKLib2.AW_ATTRIBUTE.AW_AVATAR_NAME) stuff in for you The last 2 postsJul 2, 2003, 7:50pm
Oh yeah! sorry was half asleep before i ment to put

Nor do you need Call
If it works it works and there for isn't invalid ok there all functions and have a return but thats optional the Ocx Grimmsoft examples never used RC on the Greeterbot n'stuff The last 2 postsJul 3, 2003, 9:31am
with you need to use call or an rc sdk.aw_string_set (AW_CHAT_MESSAGE,"123")
i use as a time saver i use it cause then i dont have to put call or anything else sdk.aw_string (AW_CHAT_MESSAGE), "123" but then again i could just use sdk.aw_string AW_CHAT_MESSAGE, "123" The last 2 postsJul 4, 2003, 3:36am
Im starting to piss you off?! Listen i dont care what u think its up to the
programmer how they do it. VALID means possible input out of set input format you can use I dont see VB complaining I see a bot that works so you can go shut your mouth. Im not trying to look cleaver im just trying to get less people running after me in AW Crying about how the DLL SDK doesn't work for them. Unless you want to take over and want me to direct everyone to you Shut up. Unless your so sad that you care where a fuckin bracket is then write your own examples and write your own Documenation and leave me alone. You seem to care about tiny things that aren't done how you like. If it works it works stop complaining get a life. The last 2 postsJul 4, 2003, 3:38am
Plus i statred with this method because at the time i had no idea what i was
doing and im continuing bots and im not bothered as long as it works it works and now its just habit. Sdk.aw_int(AW_INT_NAME) Sdk.aw_int_set(AW_INT_NAME),123 The last 2 postsJul 4, 2003, 3:41am
Plus plus it just makes it a bit more visible sometimes when doing sums you
use brackets of things you want done first but sometimes doing things like (Something) + (Something) just makes it stand out a bit more its not needed but its VALID anything thats INVALID as you say would not work and would error with Type Mismatch or something.

Organization Directory
Welcome to the Student Organization Directory!
With more than 180 student clubs and organizations, there truly is something for everyone at SUNY Geneseo.
A college-registered Student Organization is any student-driven group whose primary membership and entire leadership consists of students enrolled at SUNY Geneseo; is formed in order to contribute to the students' personal development and the advancement of the College Mission; is non-credit bearing; and is officially registered with the Department of Student Life.
Full registration does not imply college endorsement of the positions and views of any organization. Rather, it implies that the institution accepts the organization's mission as educationally valid and that the organization has complied with institutional registration and continuing registration procedures.
Full registration with the College does not permit the organization to act in the name of the university, to represent the university, engage in any contractual obligation in the name of the university, nor represent the organization as being an official part of the university.

Images in Archaic Thinking
Images permeate and propel archaic thinking in diverse ways. How do philosophic texts from the Greek archaic period (ca. eighth through early-fifth centuries BCE) conceive of images and what do images accomplish in archaic philosophies? In what ways can attention to images in philosophic texts open perspectives onto the relations of myth, poetry, and philosophy in the archaic Greek period? With these questions guiding the inquiry, this paper explores texts from various traditions jointly related within the archaic Aegean cultural matrix. Texts from what might be termed philosophy's prehistory, such as the ancient Egyptian Leiden Hymns and Odysseia, provide important context for understanding the continuity and development of images.

The two attacks on Portland's electrical substations were pre-meditated, officials said, as other states are on 'high alert' after Washington and North Carolina were also targeted.
Officials in Oregon are still probing the Thanksgiving electrical attacks at Portland General Electric and Bonneville Power Administration in Clackamas County.
In total, at least seven attacks have been recorded in the US in recent weeks. In North Carolina, the FBI is currently investigating if their grid attacks were triggered by opponents of a drag show.
'We have confirmed that this was malicious intent, it was no accident,' Doug Johnson, a BPA spokesperson told KATU news.
About 106 attacks on the electrical grid in the US have been reported from January to August of this year – and there have been close to 600 since 2014, according to NBC.
BPA has increased security measures to prevent additional attacks on their system following the wave of ambushes recently.
'We actually have increased security around substations in the area just as a precaution to ratchet that up from what we typically do,' Johnson told the news outlet.
Johnson previously said the BPA is working with the FBI on the incident and has 'encouraged other utilities throughout the region to increase their vigilance and report any suspicious or similar activity to law enforcement.' (SOURCE)

A sportsbook is a place that accepts bets on various types of sporting events. This type of gambling has been around for centuries, and it is now easier than ever to bet on sports events online.
A Sportsbook Review
When writing a sports betting article, it is important to put yourself in the punter's shoes. They are looking for information that will help them make the right decision when placing their bets. Creating content that answers their questions and provides expert picks will help them make the best decisions.
Using Public Perception
A lot of people will bet on the team that they think will win, regardless of their personal opinion. This is because the prevailing public perception is what they have been told to expect. However, there are many ways to play against the prevailing public perception. Oftentimes, the best bets are against the spread.
Cash Out Offers
As sports betting continues to spread across the US, regulated sportsbooks are starting to offer new features to attract and retain bettors. One of these new features is the Cash Out offer, which allows bettors to remove some of their risk before the game or event ends.
These offers are a great way to secure a profit and reduce the risk of losing it. In addition to offering a Cash Out, some regulated sportsbooks also offer other betting options that will increase your odds of winning.
Over/Under Bets
This type of bet is popular in baseball and football, as well as other sports. It involves predicting whether two teams will combine for more runs, goals, or points than the total posted by the sportsbook. The bettor can bet on either side, and it is common for the over/under to be higher than the line because people believe that the game will end with a greater score.
How a Sportsbook Works
A sportsbook makes money from the vigorish (commission) that it collects on each winning bet and the loss of each losing bet. This percentage of the profits is then used to pay bettors who have placed a winning wager.
The amount that a sportsbook pays to punters on winning bets depends on the size of the bet. It can be as small as a dollar, or as large as $550. The commission is typically 10%, but can be higher or lower depending on the type of sportsbook and the state where it is located.
A lot of sportsbooks offer bonuses to attract punters. These bonuses come with wagering requirements, so it is important to read the terms and conditions before accepting a bonus. Some of these requirements can be difficult to fulfill, especially if you have never tried sports betting before.
Find a Bookie with a Wide Range of Bets
It is always best to choose a bookie that offers a wide range of bets on a variety of sports. This will ensure that you have plenty of betting options to choose from, and it will also make it easy for you to switch between bets.

The friendly folks over at Forbes reminded us that athletes are superior in more ways than their athletic prowess, and once again showed us how much money those top-earning athletes in the world made over the past 365 days. With their annual release of the top 100 highest-paid athletes in the world, the famed magazine released digital profiles on all 100 athletes that included a breakdown of where their funds came from.
Cracking that list at No. 15 overall was former California Golden Bears QB and current Los Angeles Rams standout Jared Goff. Earning a reported $49M from June to June, Goff's earnings were said to come from $47M in his salary/winnings and another $2M from endorsements.
Goff's current deal with the Rams, signed in 2019, is for four years at $134M including a $25M signing bonus and a $21 million roster bonus. He also is stated to earn $2M from sponsorship deals with brands like Pizza Hut, Red Bull, Bose, BMW, Banana Republic and, of course, Nike.
He even launched a clothing line in 2019 titled "JG16", selling t-shirts, hoodies and hats.
Goff is no stranger to goodwill, either. He donated $250,000 to the L.A. Food Bank, covering upwards of one million meals for people in need during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The former Cal standout QB ranks 15th overall, third among NFL players and third among quarterbacks. He ranks second among LA-based athletes, falling behind Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James (5th — $88.2M).

The list of benefits is long and sometime surprising.
What can I expect from my Past Life Regression session?
This knowledge assists you in releasing negative energy carried over from that life into this one by understanding what is holding you back from creating and living the best life you can and to achieve your highest potential among many other benefits.
We can heal our grief, forgive others and ourselves, retrieve pieces of our energy that was left in that lifetime, face and heal our fears and our feelings of inadequacy from visiting past lives. The list of benefits is long and sometimes surprising.
How should I prepare for my session?
Or, you may already have a specific agenda to explore. Be forewarned, that as with most spiritual practices and encounters, what you need to experience will most times come out as we are not always in control when it comes to our journey. Sometimes what we may think we need to know is entirely different from what we receive so be open and be receptive. I always ask for what is the best outcome for the client's highest self and for what will offer the most understanding and healing during a session.
When it is time for your session, please get comfortable in your home surroundings where you will have no interruptions. Give yourself as much as an hour and a half to two hours as sessions can run this long.
I prefer you to sit as during the gentle hypnosis technique I use it is easier to fall asleep while lying down. We don't want you to fall asleep! A throw or sweater on your lap is a good idea as when we deeply relax and our heartbeat slows one often experiences being chilled.

Social and Employment
Outskirts of Grenoble, Isère, France
Clara Nunes Da Eira
10 000 € to the Selection Committee at 2009/12/01
Project leader
Solidarité Enfance
Alongside its original activities - support for the NGO Enfance Espoir which provides schooling for children in the developing countries - the association Solidarité Enfance, formed in 1985, created an outreach economy store, La Brocante de Mamie, twelve years later, and then, in September 2006, faced with increasing inflows of home appliances, IT hardware, hi-fi and video equipment, it created L'Atelier du Bourgamon, a workshop for integration through economic activity mainly focused on salvage, repair to prevailing standards, or dismantling of IT and electronic equipment. The workshop that hosts the employees under subsidized contracts receives 14 to 17 tons of donations every month (40 for La Brocante de Mamie) from private individuals, companies and administrations, with a re-use rate close to 80%. Irreparable equipment is dismantled, the materials and components are sorted, assembled and resold to companies specialized in handling electrical and electronic components. Recyclable equipment is renovated, checked, the software reinstalled and the computers sold cheap (€50 to €150) through La Brocante de Mamie or to associations and municipalities which seek this type of product.
Success is encouraging the company to expand the workshop, increase the storage areas, and create new back-to-work jobs.
With twelve persons and one supervisor, in order to adapt to demand, the association has to build an outdoor storage shed, an indoor mezzanine, replace one of the two collection trucks, buy more furniture and indispensable equipment - particularly a Fenwick forklift required to organize the storage facilities, partly funded by the Veolia Foundation.
Solidarité Enfance, the parent association which gave birth to the two integration workshops, is recognized for its effectiveness and the quality of its social accompaniment, with a 53% rate of return to durable jobs, an average significantly higher than the standard set by the supervisory authorities. It enables the back-to-work employees to discover a genuine trade through L'Atelier du Bourgamon proposing apprenticeships in electronics in preparation for subsequent skills training.
The initiatives of the association and its development are backed by the town of Saint-Martin-d'Hères where it is installed, the local authorities of the Grenoble region, the university and the educational institutions.

Natural Remedies for Anxiety
Anxiety is defined as the reaction to prolonged, unpredictable risk, a response which encompasses physiological, affective, and cognitive adjustments. According to this definition, anxiety is superior to worry: a response to immediate, foreseeable risks. The "trouble focusing" symptom is a significant feature of the DSM-IV classifications of tension issues. According to the DSM-IV, specific anxiety disorders include generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), phobias, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Due to the high rates of co-occurrence with depression, it is uncommon to find an individual who has a natural anxiety condition (Gerson et al., 2015)
Untreated and undiagnosed anxiety will have negative impacts on a person's life as well as on society at large. Undiagnosed and untreated anxiety may result in disability-related suicide risk and impotence at work, which reduces productivity. This has a negative impact on life quality and has significant financial costs (Kasper, 2006).
Treatments and natural remedies for anxiety
Antidepressants and sedatives are available that work to balance our brain's chemistry in order to treat anxiety cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), but they can only prevent the most severe symptoms. There are also some natural methods that might assist in reducing our anxiety. Studies have shown that certain behaviors, such as eating a balanced diet, exercising more, abstaining from drugs (including alcohol and tobacco), incorporating meditation into daily life, establishing a regular sleeping schedule, using aromatherapy, etc., can help control and reduce anxiety to a much greater extent.
Reduced drug use as a remedy for anxiety
In 2017, Charlet et al. conducted a systematic review that found that reducing alcohol consumption improved symptoms of anxiety and depression, improved mental and physical health, decreased psychosocial stress, and improved social functioning. According to Moylan et al. (2012), smoking may be associated with a higher rate of anxiety disorders, and smoking also contributes to increased anxiety. Similar to adults, smoking is linked to a greater incidence of anxiety problems in teenagers (Johnson et al., 2000; Goodwin et al., 2005).
Increased physical activities as a remedy for anxiety
Physical activity greatly helps to reduce anxiety symptoms, and those who exercise more often have less depression and anxiety symptoms (Minnen et al., 2010). Research has demonstrated that learned helplessness is associated with a decrease in norepinephrine and is a sign of anxiety (Petty et al., 1993). The effects of treadmill training and wheel running on norepinephrine additional neuronal uptake and hippocampal norepinephrine levels (Iverson, 1982). There is evidence that regular aerobic exercise increases serotonergic and noradrenergic brain processes, mimicking the effects of antidepressants (Meeusen et al., 1995; Chaouloff, 1989). Prepro-galanin mRNA levels are also increased by treadmill workout education, indicating that galanin gene expression is responsive to the stress from exercise education and may have a "neuromodulating function" within the noradrenergic response inside the locus ceruleus, a region of the brain abundant in noradrenergic neurons (O'Neal et al., 2001).
Meditation as a remedy for anxiety
According to a John Hopkins study, meditation seemed to provide similar relief from a few anxiety and depressive symptoms as what other studies have seen with antidepressants. Goyal, an assistant professor at Johns Hopkins University, and his colleagues discovered that mindfulness meditation, a form of Buddhist self-interest meant to cultivate attentive, nonjudgmental awareness of the present moment, also appeared to be effective in reducing some pain symptoms and signs as well as stress. The results persisted even when the researchers took into account the likelihood of the placebo effect, in which study participants feel better while receiving no actual treatment because they believe they are receiving treatment for their ailments.
In order to promote health and well-being, aromatherapy uses herbal plant extracts as part of a comprehensive therapeutic regimen. It is sometimes referred to as crucial oil cure. Aromatherapy employs medicinally effective aromatic essential oils to enhance the health of the body, mind, and soul. It improves both mental and physical wellness. Aromatherapy has been utilised by humans for a very long time. Resins, balms, and oils made from aromatic plant materials have been used for centuries by ancient societies in China, India, Egypt, and elsewhere. These organic elements have served both therapeutic and sacred purposes. Both their physical and mental advantages were recognised. Although the practise had been in use for a long time before to this, the Persians are credited with developing essential oil distillation around the tenth century. Information about essential oil distillation was published in Germany in the 16th century. French doctors first realised the therapeutic potential of essential oils in the nineteenth century. In the 19th century, scientific doctors grew more connected and focused on the use of chemical medications. Nevertheless, the French and German physicians identified the use of natural botanicals in sickness treatment. As a result, aromatherapy might be used to lessen anxiety symptoms.
Avoiding sleeplessness to avoid anxiety
For mental health to improve and to avoid any form of worry, a regular 7-8 hours of sleep is required. According to research, those who are prone to worry are more vulnerable to the consequences of sleep deprivation, which may cause hysterical symptoms (Goldstein et al., 2013). Adults need at least 7 hours of sleep every day, and anything less may worsen health problems including sadness and anxiety, according to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. Sleep deprivation in 2013 enhanced responses in the amygdala and anterior insula, two regions of the brain associated with anxiety, according to Goldstein et al. People who exhibit the symptoms of sleeplessness are more likely to experience anxiety while under stress (Kalmbach et al., 2019).
Improved dietary habits as a remedy
Consumption patterns and eating habits can have a big impact on how well anxiety symptoms are managed. For example, consuming too much coffee may cause signs and symptoms that are similar to many mental conditions. Caffeine abuse is common among people with eating disorders since it has been linked to the worsening of sleep and anxiety difficulties. Caffeine's main effects include reducing tiredness and improving mental function. A state of intoxication known as caffeinism is brought on by excessive consumption and is marked by restlessness, agitation, pleasure, wandering thinking and speech, and sleeplessness. In actuality, the symptoms and indicators are similar to numerous mental conditions (Winston et al., 2005). Caffeine has two distinct impacts on the brain. Low amounts result in excitement, which is often seen as appropriate, however large quantities may cause caffeine's unpleasant side effects (Daly et al., 1998). As a result, limiting caffeine intake is essential to preventing the onset of anxiety symptoms. Additionally, chamomile tea helps reduce anxiety. Insomniac rats were enabled to fall asleep with chamomile extract. According to researchers, tea may have benzodiazepine-like hypnotic properties because it binds to benzodiazepine receptors (Shinomiya et al., 2005). proven That chamomile may be a potent ally in the fight against GAD. The results of the research showed that those who took German chamomile pills (220 mg up to five times daily) saw greater reductions in anxiety symptoms and test scores than people who received a placebo (Mao et al 2014).
Vitamin D as remedy
Anxiety problems have also been shown to benefit from vitamin D. (Zhu et al., 2020). The active form of VD is 1, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D3, which is created by a series of processes that occur in a few different organs. The VD3 enters the bloodstream and is then transported to the liver, where it is converted into 25(OH)D3, the immediate precursor for active vitamin D, by adding a hydroxyl group to the C25 function with the help of a diet D 25-hydroxylase. The most reliable indicator of the status of nutrition D is the serum 25(OH)D level, which is the main circulating metabolite of nutrition D. (Almeida et al., 2015). Rodent studies have shown that active VD improved glutamate and glutamine metabolism in neurons, which contributed to behavioural changes and altered neurotransmitter stages (Harms et al., 2011). Studies have shown that VD is a crucial coenzyme in the production of monoamines, including dopamine and norepinephrine (Chester et al. 2015). These examples demonstrate how VD plays a crucial role in a variety of mental processes, including brain growth, neuroimmunomodulation, and mind neuroplasticity, all of which may indirectly affect mood regulation (Zhu et al., 2020). hence assisting in anxiety management. Amr et al. (2013) found that supplementing with vitamin C while taking an antidepressant had positive benefits. Of course, there are conflicting research that refute the notion that vitamin C aids in lowering anxiety.
Therefore, there are several natural methods one may use to manage and minimise their anxiety without resorting to medications, their related side effects, or costly therapy. Simply making little changes in one's life may help one enhance their mental health, which will have a good impact on both their personal life and society.

Report – A reality check on green finance
June 2022 • A reality check on ESG • by Christopher Breen
This report shows that while green finance in Europe has grown rapidly to more than €300bn last year alone, it is still a long way short of the sort of levels required for Europe to meet its net zero targets – and still only represents about 12% of all capital markets activity. The report drills behind the headline numbers, analyses the growth and trends in different sectors and types of green finance over the past five years, and highlights some of the challenges ahead.
New Financial is a social enterprise that relies on support from the industry to fund its work. Download a copy of the infographic here and request a copy of the report, please click here.
For a UK-specific version of the report, drills down into activity in the UK market, and highlights some of the big differences in green finance between the UK and EU please click here.
The growth and penetration of green finance
In recent years, the climate emergency has risen to the top of the global political, business, and financial agenda. In response, the EU and the UK have established themselves at the forefront of building clean and more sustainable economies. The recent invasion of Ukraine has increased the urgency of addressing this problem: while many European governments have (temporarily?) turned back towards fossil fuels, the war has focused minds on energy security and the potential for renewables and other forms of clean energy to reduce Europe's dependence on fossil fuels and accelerate the shift towards a more sustainable and resilient energy supply.
One of the most critical tools to enable this transition is finance: if Europe is to invest anything like the sums needed to meet its net zero commitment by 2050 it will need massive funding from the capital markets. The broad estimates of the sums involved range from around €600bn to €1 trillion per year in green investment. This report provides a 'reality check' on Europe's progress so far in green finance and shows that while it has grown rapidly, it is still a long way short of where it needs to be.
Green finance is about a lot more than green bonds. We estimate that European capital markets raised more than €750bn in green finance from 2017 to 2021 across bond, equity, and loan markets, with more than €300bn raised in 2021 alone. While our estimate is higher than others, these numbers probably need to double or triple again – and quickly – to enable the sort of investment required. In addition, our report raises questions about the role of carbon intensive industries in driving the transition and the role of the capital markets in funding them.
This report addresses the following questions:
- What is the growth, value and penetration of green finance in Europe from over the past five years?
- What types of issuers and companies are the main users of green finance?
- What types of instruments (ie. bonds, loans, equity) are being used to channel funding to green investment?
- What is the composition of corporate green finance, and what types of companies are raising capital?
- And how 'green' is green finance?
Here is a short summary of this report:
1) Rapid growth
The value of green finance raised in the capital markets in the EU and UK has risen significantly over the past five years to over €300bn last year. Since 2017, green finance activity has increased fivefold across bond, equity and loan markets, and it doubled last year alone. We estimate that more than €750bn has been raised by corporates, financials, and governments in green finance over the past five years, with corporate activity playing the leading role. Green finance is about a lot more than labelled green bonds, which account for about two thirds of overall green finance activity. Our headline estimate is higher than some other estimates because we have included our estimate of explicitly green activity in equity markets, loan markets, and venture capital.
2) Towards net zero
Although green finance is big and growing fast in Europe, the level of activity is a long way short of the sort of investment that European governments, corporates, and financials need to fund the transition to a clean energy economy and meet their net zero targets. The range in annual investment required in Europe is between €600bn and €1 trillion, which suggests that green finance activity will have to double or even triple again – and quickly – to ensure that the European economy is on track to reach net zero.
3) A lack of penetration
For all of the noise around green finance and the urgency of addressing the climate emergency, green finance still only represents a relatively small proportion of capital markets activity in Europe. Overall, we estimate that green finance accounted for just 12% of capital markets activity across bond, equity, and loan markets last year. The good news is that this penetration is increasing: over the five-year period it was just 7%, but the overall penetration of green finance doubled last year. Penetration is highest in the corporate bond market (16%), slightly lower in loans (12%), and much lower in equity markets (5%).
4) An important metric
Despite the growth in green finance there is a disconnect between the amount of capital being raised by 'good' companies whose primary business activity is actively trying to address climate change (such as renewable energy firms), and 'bad' companies whose primary business is actively delaying the transition to net zero (such as fossil fuel companies). Over the past five years, 'bad' companies have raised 18 times as much money in capital markets as 'good' companies, although this ratio fell last year for the first time below 10 to one. This (perhaps simplistic) ratio reflects the difference in scale and maturity of these companies, but we think it's an important metric to watch.
5) Playing catch up
The UK is lagging behind the EU in green finance: UK issuers raised €106bn in green finance over the past five years, representing 14% of all green finance in the capital markets in Europe. This share is significantly lower than the UK's share of over 20% in all capital markets activity in Europe. This is reflected in the lower penetration of green finance in UK capital markets: over the past five years, green finance accounted for just 5% of all capital markets activity in the UK, roughly half the level as in the EU and roughly where the EU was four years ago.
6) A debt-driven market
The vast majority – over 95% – of green finance activity in Europe comes from the bond and loan markets. Labelled green bonds are by far the biggest single component of green finance, raising €425bn over the past five years and nearly €200bn last year alone. Companies raised a further €225bn in green finance in the loan markets, including nearly €100bn last year. Corporates are the biggest issuers in the bond market, representing about 40% of all activity over the past five years, ahead of governments (35%) and financials (25%). Across all green finance, corporates account for 60% of activity.
7) A small role for equity
Equity markets – including public equity markets and venture capital investment in cleantech – have raised just €26bn in green finance. This is less than 4% of all green finance and reflects the relatively small scale and immaturity of the standalone green sector in public equity markets. However, activity is growing fast: green equity has increased from €1bn to €13bn over the past five years and doubled last year alone.
8) The good, the bad, and the neutral
The profile of companies that are driving the green finance market is perhaps surprising. Using our taxonomy of 'good' and 'bad' companies from a climate perspective, just over a fifth (22%) of all green capital markets activity by corporates came from 'good' companies such as standalone renewable energy firms. 'Bad' companies accounted for more than a quarter of activity (27%) and this green finance adds up to just 12% of their total capital markets funding. Perversely, green finance probably needs more 'bad' companies to raise money (because these companies have the highest impact on emissions) and more 'good' companies to raise money to accelerate change.
9) How 'green' is green finance?
Not all green finance is created equal. We estimate that around 40% to 50% of green bonds are 'dark green' and are being invested in projects that will play a significant role in actively driving the transition to net zero. In the loan market, we estimate that only around 40% of all SLLP loans (based on Sustainability Linked Loan Principles) are green in terms of their use proceeds. It is also important to avoid the trap of double counting green finance: more than 50% of the money raised in the green bond market can be allocated by issuers to (re)financing existing projects, and issuers are able to apply this funding retrospectively to projects that are more than two years old.
10) The challenges ahead…
One of the main findings of this report is that while green finance in Europe is growing fast, it is still not enough to meet the required levels of investment for Europe to fulfil its net zero commitments. Policymakers and issuers alike will either need to adjust their targets and expectations (not a great idea) or find new ways to raise more green capital at scale. An essential part of this will be improving the transparency and clarity of green finance, including: better and more consistent definitions of green and not green activity; more information about use of proceeds from green finance; and more robust KPIs, transition plans, and targets. Perhaps the biggest challenge is going to be designing a sensible transition framework: companies that play a significant role in driving climate change need access to capital need to invest in net zero, but they need to be held accountable for their progress.
Methodology & acknowledgements
This report focuses on the size, growth, and penetration of green finance in Europe, which for the purposes of this report is the EU and the UK. We define 'green finance' as capital which funds projects that progress the transition to a clean energy economy, such as solar farms, wind turbines, hydroelectric projects, and electric vehicles. In addition to 'labelled' green bonds, we analysed activity in the equity, loan and venture capital markets to identify 'green finance' based on the use of proceeds of the capital raised. We also split corporates into three (perhaps simplistic) buckets from a climate perspective of 'good', 'bad', and 'neutral'. Each bucket relates to a company's primary activity and whether it is progressing or delaying the transition to net zero. This helps us better understand how different types of companies are using different types of green finance.

What Is a Water Tank?
A water tank collects or stores water for later use. They are used in various industries such as sewage and wastewater, agriculture, chemical, nuclear, etc. The purpose of the tanks differs from industry to industry. Still, they are generally used in irrigation, cooling materials and equipment, and water treatment.
Within time the water tanks and secondary systems can corrode due to the water, high moisture environment, and corrosive solutions such as chemicals. In addition, deteriorated equipment and structures may lead to leaching, leaks, and environmental damage. However, applying a water tank lining can prevent the listed issues and more.
A water tank lining is a coating that will create a barrier between the tank's substrate and the stored water or aqueous solutions. The barrier is chemical-resistant and corrosion-resistant; therefore, it prevents the common issues presented by corrosion. There are water tank lining coatings that are certified safe for contact with potable water. These coatings do not contaminate the water, making them safe for human consumption. Furthermore, the coatings are solvent-free and require no hot work or welding, adding to their safety.

Formulation and in vitro characterization of alginate microspheres loaded with diloxanide furoate for colon- specific drug delivery
Main Article Content
Formulations were characterized for particle size and shape, surface morphology, entrapment efficiency, and in vitro drug release in simulated gastrointestinal fluids. XRD and differential scanning calorimetery were used to confirm successful
entrapment of DF into the alginates microspheres. All the microsphere formulations showed good % drug entrapment (73.82±1.99). Calcium alginate retarded the release of DF at low pH (1.2 and 4.5) and released microspheres slowly at pH 7.4 in the colon without colonic enzymes.

ATLANTA, GA - The International Children's Advisory Network, Inc. (iCAN) is pleased to announce the winner of the 2022 iCAN Written Essay Scholarship contest.
In Memory of Carolyn Little Baker
iCAN President, Leanne West, set up this scholarship in honor of her mother, Carolyn. Carolyn was a source of inspiration and a bright and sunny spirit, with a love of all children. Her spirit lives on, to support iCAN youth around the world.
Earlier this year, all iCAN Youth Members ages 8-18 were invited to honor the memory of Carolyn by writing an essay under the topic of "Why is iCAN Important to Me?".
Announcing the 20222 iCAN Written Essay Winner - Dylan Provenzano, KIDS Illinois
Dylan, a long-standing member of the iCAN KIDS Illinois Chapter, shared his feelings through the following essay:
"iCAN is very important to me. It's helped highlight my character traits of compassion, empathy and determination, It allowed me to implement them in ways I never knew were possible. Not only am I helpful to others, but also a person that has and always will help others in need.
In the past, I would not have considered leadership. Now, I know I love it. Through iCAN and the Kids Advisory Board (KAB) at Lurie Children's Hospital I now have the tools to understand that kids are able to make decisions about our bodies. We are able to make changes and help advocate for other patients that may not have the voice that I now do. Working with iCAN/KAB has allowed me to be brave enough to speak up for myself and for others.
I realize how important volunteer and advocacy are in life. I find ways to volunteer. I find myself drawn to making others feel better. If they smile or there is a change in their life, my life is changed for the positive. After 5 years at the hospital, 10 rounds of radiation, 8 surgeries, 98 days of chemotherapy in 2017 to only again in 2020, endure another excruciating 72 additional days of chemotherapy, I GET IT! You will often find me trying to help other children who have been medically challenged throughout their lives. I have raised countless amounts of money for research, make sure the shelves are stocked with food in the community rooms, I send out packages to teenage patients because I understand how hard it is to be in the hospital when your friends are not. Since I joined iCAN and KAB, I have been able to reach that many more kids and also help the adults see through a patient's eyes the importance of our voices."
Congratulations to Dylan!
Through unanimous vote by the iCAN Board of Directors, Dylan receives a one-time stipend of $500.00 usd to assist with travel expenses to attend the 2022 iCAN Summit presented by Jumo Health in Lyon, France. Dylan's winning written essay is also featured on the iCAN website at www.icanresearch.org/ican-scholarships.
Join iCAN in Supporting Youth Members Around the World
Scholarship opportunities for the in-person 2023 iCAN Summit will open on February 1st, 2023. iCAN is actively seeking donations to help support additional scholarships for youth members. To make a contribution, please contact iCAN at email@example.com.

Research in moral psychology suggests many reasons why people behave in an unethical manner. When it comes to the wealthy, research shows that they will go to great lengths to maintain their higher status. A sense of entitlement plays a role.
Research shows that people are good at rationalizing unethical actions that serve their self-interest. The success, or failure, of one's children, often has implications for how parents view themselves and are viewed by others. They are more likely to bask in the reflected glory of their children. They seem to gain esteem based on their connection to successful children. This means parents can be motivated by self-interest to ensure their children's achievement.
In the case of cheating for their children, parents can justify the behavior through comparisons that help them morally disengage with an action. For example, they could say that other parents do a lot worse things, or minimize the consequences of their actions through words such as My behavior did not cause much harm. Viewing the unethical outcomes as serving others, including one's children, could help parents create a psychological distance to rationalizing misconduct.

The new Kennywood security policy
Before the Sept. 2022 shooting at Kennywood Amusement Park in West Mifflin, park attendees were required to pass through metal detectors and open their bags for inspection by park security. I watched this system of security develop over childhood summers spent going to Kennywood — it used to be that you could just walk in with a short nod at a cop who was pacing between ticket booths.
Now, as the park opens for the 2023 summer season, there is a heavier focus on security measures to prevent more violence. Most of the changes are reflected simply in an increased presence of security personnel at the park, but a few other things are being done, like taking down trees that block sight from the park to the road and decreasing the number and size of bags that are allowed in. Response protocols have been improved to avoid the chaotic and harmful mass exodus that occurred during the shooting.
An altercation between two young teenagers escalated to shooting in which two 15-year olds and a 39-year old were wounded. The obvious changes that could be made include checking that weapons aren't being brought into the park and requiring that minors be accompanied by adults. The thing is that Kennywood was already doing both of those things when the shooting happened. The gun was purportedly slipped through a gate at the periphery of the park, which arguably should have been secured. But to what extent can we hold Kennywood security accountable for what happened?
What comes to mind for me when I think about this is the time that two people were shot by a 17-year old in the Monroeville Mall Macy's in 2015. Or when a 20-year old was killed at the same mall in 2020, after a policy was implemented that required minors to be accompanied later in the day.
Police have attributed the altercation that led to the shooting to a "feud" happening among teenagers in the Mon Valley, which is south of West Mifflin. The "feud" is actually a string of 55 shootings (yes, 55) occurring in Duquesne, Homewood, and the Mon Valley over three or four months after an initial shooting at a graduation party on June 1, 2022. In one of these instances, a 14-year old was killed. If the gun violence issue among young people in these communities is so large that the Pittsburgh police or community justice organizations failed to solve it after 55 instances in three months, how was Kennywood security going to solve it?
When I was first talking about writing this article, I nearly decided not to write it, because I thought I would just end up saying what I've said in Forum a million times before. Yes, of course the shooting at Kennywood was terrible and tragic and had real impacts on real people, but please don't be surprised or cut funding for trips there because you are under the impression that the entire rest of Pittsburgh is the same crime-free utopia that we live in at CMU. There are very very few neighborhoods in Pittsburgh that are even remotely similar to North Oakland/Squirrel Hill North, and very very many neighborhoods struggle every single day with gun violence. Instead of isolating yourself from these incidents because they do not conform with your unrepresentative idea of what Pittsburgh is, get involved and learn about what is actually happening. Go visit Kennywood, and its home in West Mifflin. Did you know that there's a high school right behind Kennywood? And a Giant Eagle where people get their groceries every day? Learn about how gun violence is impacting residents and how you can get involved in local activism instead of avoidance.
