Top 20 Most Powerful Stars In Hollywood Right Now 2018 Impelreport
The entertainment industry relies on an "it" factor for the stars who sell its product that is stubbornly hard to quantify. You can have it overnight, and lose it just as easily.
Movie stars' realiability at the box office has faded in recent years, and the traditional label system is no longer the only path to superstardom for a musician. Top 20 Most Powerful Stars In Hollywood Right Now 2018 Impelreport.
In Business Insider's second annual list of the most powerful entertainment stars right now, we look at who has best proven their might in the past year. They're not just the highest-earning, but the most visible, the most talked-about, the most respected, the most valued, and the most in-demand at our current moment.
Our No. 1, Beyoncé, proved once again that the old rules don't apply, and she's more than able to keep the masses interested in her every move, whether that's a politically charged "visual album" or the carefully curated way she presents herself online. No celebrity is more in touch with how to engage their audience in 2016,2017,2018.
Here are the 20 most powerful stars in Hollywood, Most Powerful and ranked:
1. Beyoncé
Beyoncé didn't just succeed in 2016 — she put her stamp on history. And in more ways than one. "Lemonade," the what's-it project that premiered shrouded in mystery on HBO early in the year, was immediately hailed as not just a great album, not just a great film, but an event and a harbinger of the future of music. It also spoke to themes of black American identity in ways that were both personal and broad, and especially trenchant in a year when identity and race could not be ignored on the national stage.
2. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson
A man who once looked iffy as a pro-wrestler-turned-action star has become the highest-paid actor in the world. It's hard to think of a more perfect success story in modern Hollywood. The social media-savvy star seems just as hungry to act as he is to produce and promote each of his projects (which at the moment include "Moana," "Ballers," and a "Fast & Furious" sequel) — all with a smile. He's seemingly everywhere but never oversaturated — his fans will watch just about anything he does. It's easy to see why.
3. Drake
There should no longer be debate about who is the king of hip-hop. Only Adele sold more records this year, but Drake sent every one of the songs on his new album, "Views," to the charts, and broke a streaming record while he was at it. He's setting the agenda on where music goes for the next decade, and breaking the mold of a hip-hop star. Plus he gave Rihanna an assist on one of the biggest songs of the year.
4. Jennifer Lawrence
Hollywood is still as starry-eyed as ever for Jennifer Lawrence, the most prominent movie star of her generation (she's still only 26). She may not have had many movies recently, but an epic sci-fi romance with Chris Pratt (No. 5) is probably enough, and more importantly, she's continued to set the conversation after speaking candidly about the gender wage gap and other pressures in her own industry.
5. Chris Pratt
If 2015 proved Pratt is the real thing, after he followed up "Guardians of the Galaxy" with "Jurassic World," he's since become something like America's Sweetheart — the actor who can pull off comedy or drama with ease and is beloved by, well, everyone. He's in a place very similar to Julia Roberts during the '90s, except, well, he's a man. Whether they're looking for a hunky male lead in a tentpole title or the charming guy next door, movie execs are all looking at Pratt.
6. Adele
Adele is still rolling in the success of her album that came out last year, which still somehow topped Billboard's year-end chart. And she'll take home a boatload of Grammys in 2017, unless Beyonce somehow steals all her thunder.
7. Justin Bieber
No musician better proved their might as a singles artist than Bieber this year, who shot up the Hot 100 chart time and time again with varied songs from his album "Purpose," which expanded his audience far beyond screaming teen girls. The piles of cash he's raking in on his tour are the proof.
8. Taylor Swift
Somehow, even in a year when Swift seemed to go out of her way not to work, she was still at the center of pop culture. The internet debated whether her personal-life decisions were part of a grand music-video plan. That she didn't endorse a presidential candidate became a widely circulated news story. The more Swift keeps us guessing, the more she wins.
9. Kanye West
In many ways, Kanye has had some real lows. He cut the tour for "The Life of Pablo" short after a bizarre Donald Trump rant and checked into a hospital reportedly because of exhaustion. But that album's release was beamed around the world in a strange, innovative, and totally Kanye event that set a benchmark in streaming. Everything from a crass Taylor Swift-referencing lyric to his brief appearance at Trump Tower became "breaking news" fodder for the masses. Adidas, meanwhile, is taking his clothing line to the next level.
10. Ryan Reynolds
Sustained power in show business requires vision. Reynolds proved he had it with "Deadpool," an out-of-nowhere blockbuster that took superheroes a little less seriously while lowering the budget and upping the blood and profanity. It shows another way forward for Hollywood, and more than makes up for "Green Lantern."
Top 10 Most Beautiful Women Cricketers In The World 2018 Impelreport
11. "The Big Bang Theory" stars
Being the most popular sitcom on TV gives you a lot of leverage. The marquee stars of CBS's "Big Bang" Jim Parsons, Johnny Galecki, and Kaley Cuoco negotiated for their current deal, which gives each of them $1 million per episode. That makes the highest-paid stars on TV.
12. "The Game of Thrones" stars
The "Thrones" cast seems to have learned something from "Big Bang Theory." The headlining talent of the epic ensemble Peter Dinklage, Lena Headey, Kit Harington, Emilia Clarke, and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau each make half a million per episode, which HBO is no doubt happy to pay out on top of the wild budget to actually create the fantasy show everyone dissects every Monday morning when it's on.
It helps that the passionate fan base of "Game of Thrones" is willing to follow its stars just about anywhere, and some have already cleverly built up the next phases of their careers, like Clarke, who's joining the "Star Wars" Han Solo spin-off.
13. Ellen DeGeneres
Ellen has always been there to make Americans laugh, even back in the days when she was still finding the right way to come out publicly as gay. She's since become the queen of daytime TV, with unbeatable A-list guests she gets to open up, be it Hillary Clinton, Kanye West, or Justin Bieber. With her new Presidential Medal of Freedom, she's become a certified national treasure.
14. Lin-Manuel Miranda
Not so long ago, Miranda was still best known for his Tony-winning 2008 musical "In the Heights." Now he's one of the most sought-after talents in the entertainment industry thanks to his massive Broadway hit, "Hamilton." The show won 11 Tony awards this year and has catapulted Miranda to a new kind of stardom. He's done everything from rap at the White House to write music for the Disney hit "Moana."
15. Donald Glover
As the creator and star of the acclaimed TV show "Atlanta," Glover's talent has evolved vastly. And with his casting in the Lando Calrissian role in the upcoming Han Solo movie, he's poised to win over a lot more fans.
16. Kate McKinnon
"Saturday Night Live" followers have been in love with the sketch-comedy show's current all-star for a while now, but thanks to the all-female "Ghostbusters" movie and her Hillary Clinton on "SNL" during the presidential election, McKinnon's stock in Hollywood has never been higher.
17. Chance the Rapper
No other musician put their own individual stamp on pop culture this year in quite the way Chance the Rapper did. He is still, after all, not on a major label (by choice). And even while he may not be turning out top 10 radio hits, he has still proven he can win over a massive following his own way and sell a whole lot of albums without the help of traditional distribution.
18. Millie Bobby Brown
The 12-year-old went from virtual unknown to one of the most recognized faces in 2016 thanks to her breakout performance as the Eggo-eating Eleven in Netflix's hit "Stranger Things." With a sinister look and shaved hair, we couldn't turn away whenever Brown showed up on the screen. We can't wait to see where she takes Eleven in season two of the show.
19. Adam Driver
After wowing us last year as the conflicted Kylo Ren in "The Force Awakens," Driver showed his diversity this year with three very different roles. A scientist looking for answers in "Midnight Special," a bus driver who loves to write poetry in "Paterson," and a priest trying to teach Christianity in 1600s Japan. There's no question Driver is building an impressive filmography and making himelf a household name in the process.
20. Margot Robbie
In 2016 Robbie went from "it" girl to being a bona fide box-office draw in her own right. The main reason is her bringing beloved DC Comics character Harley Quinn to the big screen in "Suicide Squad," and coming out of it as everyone's favorite. Though the movie split fans, her twisted performance was universally praised and just about every girl wanted the costume. She's now prepping for her own Harley Quinn spin-off movie and another feature in which she plays disgraced skater Tonya Harding.

"Big" John Bantam is an Agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Phoenix office. He is a large man, fitting his nickname but not his surname. He is of African-American ancestry.
He and his partner interviewed Declan McGinnis and Wesley Carver at Western Data Consultants in May of 2009. They were looking for information about the web site trunkmurder.com but got little useful information at that time because Carver had covered his tracks well. Bantam also interviewed Jack McEvoy after he and Rachel Walling had discovered evidence at WDC's warehouse.

The Wog With The Grog was long overdue for a holiday, and an island getaway was just what the doctor ordered.
Knowing the family was coming with, the destination needed to be child friendly, while also allowing the adults in the mix to not feel like they were simply taking the madness of home to another location.
While you're away from home, you want to feel removed from your reality, and like you are actually taking a break. You want to feel comfortable, pampered, and relaxed. You want to enjoy yourself, eat good food, unwind, indulge a little. And of course, you want the place you're staying at to meet your expectations, exceed them, even.
The challenge with that last expectation is that it's highly likely you've never been to that hotel, as holidays are often about trying something new, and you're inclined to want to trial a new place.
While online recommendations are great, the only way to truly get to know a property is heading there.
So, it was with a high level of anticipation we headed to the Sofitel Fiji Resort and Spa, on Denarau Island, Fiji.
Below are some photos from our stay – the property is beautiful:
From the moment we stepped in at the Sofitel Fiji, we were greeted by professional staff and a magnificent view.
Having stayed at various Sofitels around the world, I have come to expect a level of luxury and attention to detail in their properties.
Walking into our room I realised that this was not so for this property. The room, though clean, was in need of a little TLC – after all, this is deemed a five star property.
The bathroom is no bigger than a medium sized car, consisting of a toilet and shower. The room is okay, but the real winner here is the view: it is spectacular.
With two small children in tow, the pool facilities and grounds were voted by us as sensational. It all feels peaceful and safe. The staff are marvellous, with our young boys taking to them immediately. Kids sense kindness and this was the case here. My youngest child (who is 18 months old) greeted people with 'Bula' every time he passed them. It was lovely to see. Our eldest son (age four) also felt comfortable with staff.
We were 'taunted' by the existence of the adjoining adults' retreat; a place to escape reality, no screaming children, sun, water and cocktails. Heaven. Not somewhere we could go this time, but a mental note made!
Dinner was, sadly, a bit of a let down. We were excited about feasting on the Sofitel buffet, however it was closed during our stay. Another disappointing point: kids ate free here at the buffet, but not in the other two restaurants on the property.
Having a Sofitel loyalty card which covered all meals was great – in theory. Adult meals only were covered, so we decided to dine at their less formal option. The food was okay, but the service was good and staff: very friendly.
The hotel's spa treatments definitely made you feel like you were at a five star hotel, from the moment you entered the doors, right through to the end.
The breakfast buffet also got a favourable review from us.
Overall, we had a relaxing two nights at the Sofitel Fiji Resort and Spa.

Should I Go Through HITRUST Certification Even If It's Not Required?
The HITRUST CSF is a set of security controls designed to help organizations that work with sensitive healthcare data to become more secure. Since HITRUST is gaining traction, many organization decision makers are asking the question, "Should my company go through HITRUST certification even though we're not required to do so?". This article explores what it means to be HITRUST certified and the benefits of HITRUST certification.
What is the HITRUST CSF?
The HITRUST CSF is the most commonly-used regulatory framework in the United States healthcare industry. It is designed to provide a flexible and configurable standard that organizations can use to develop cybersecurity strategies compliant with the HIPAA, ISO, NIST, and PCI-DSS data protection regulations. While HITRUST compliance is not mandatory for an organization, it has several associated benefits, and may be worth pursuing even if not required.
Benefits of HITRUST Certification
A HITRUST certification demonstrates that an organization complies with the HITRUST CSF. Achieving compliance with HITRUST is not mandatory under any regulation; however, the HITRUST CSF and certification have multiple benefits for an organization.
Actionable Guidance
Some privacy and data protection regulations require the data to be protected "appropriately" and according to "best practice" without specifying what this means. The burden is left on the organization seeking compliance to determine what controls should be implemented and then to execute them. This creates the possibility that an organization could be unintentionally non-compliant due to controls being overlooked or incorrectly applied, or by developing or applying controls that are ineffective or hurt the organization's security posture.
The HITRUST CSF is designed to give organizations concrete guidance on controls to be put into practice and how to modify requirements to fit the needs of the organization based on size, function, and organization layout.
Certifying against a framework helps to ease the burden on organizations and ensures that steps taken help to meaningfully increase organizational cyber resilience.
Multi-Regulation Coverage
Many organizations are not solely liable for compliance with one regulation. For example, if a healthcare provider accepts credit or debit cards as payment for services, they are required to protect this information under the PCI-DSS. Trying to meet requirements for multiple regulations and standards can cause confusion and the potential for non-compliance if regulatory requirements are implemented, tested, and updated individually rather than as part of a comprehensive system.
Seeking HITRUST certification can help an organization design their security strategy to minimize the probability of oversights or errors and ensure compliance. The HITRUST CSF is designed to be configurable and allow organizations to demonstrate compliance with HIPAA, ISO, PCI-DSS, and NIST standards.
Provable Compliance
One of the major issues with proving compliance with HIPAA is that HIPAA does not provide concrete requirements for what constitutes a "compliant" system and no official system for testing compliance. As a result, vendors have developed their own testing methods and certifications that organizations can seek.
Without clear, concrete requirements, it is impossible for organizations to prove that they are truly compliant under HIPAA regulations. An advantage of the HITRUST certification is that it provides organizations a way to prove compliance with a reputable certification framework that can cover a variety of regulations (HIPAA, ISO, PCI-DSS, and NIST) and can be tailored to meet the needs of the organization.
Third-Party Verification of Compliance
The large number of recent data breaches in the healthcare industry and in business as a whole have underscored the importance of properly protecting users' personal data. Achieving a third-party certification and attestation of an organization's cybersecurity can be beneficial both internally and externally.
By achieving a third-party attestation of regulatory compliance, an organization can demonstrate appropriate due diligence for a legal investigation in the event of a breach. Organizations can also take advantage of this proactively by advertising the fact that they are compliant in order to attract customers who are concerned about the appropriate protection of their personal data.
How Do I Prepare for HITRUST Certification?
In order to become HITRUST certified, it is necessary to have your organization's security controls assessed by a HITRUST CSF security assessor. Only a few organizations are registered assessors that are permitted to perform HITRUST audits and issue certificates.
Sword & Shield is an information security organization that is a registered HITRUST assessor. With more than 20 years as compliance experts, Sword & Shield simplifies the HITRUST experience to remove a considerable amount of burden from your staff. We provide insight into what you can expect throughout the HITRUST validation and certification process, incorporate existing recognized security and compliance frameworks such as HIPAA, NIST, ISO, and PCI; assess how your controls program is or is not meeting requirements and help you provide a clear and actionable plan to fulfill them.
If you are interested in pursuing a HITRUST certification or have questions about the process and its potential benefits for your organization, contact us for a consultation.

Today Ukraine marks the 32d anniversary of the nuclear disaster at Chernobyl, near the capital of the country Kyiv. It takes thousands of years to purify the environment, and the tapestry of the Zone hangs in the UN hall in New York.
The Chernobyl accident occurred on April 26, 1986. The total release of radioactive materials is 50 million curies. We are talking about the equivalent to 500 atomic bombs that were dropped on Hiroshima during World War II.
Accident changed the eye color
After the emergency, a column of smoke from the combustion products reached tens of meters in height, and 90% of the nuclear fuel of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant was in the Earth's atmosphere. The level of radiation contamination around the station in the first days of the accident was so high that the eye color of the Soviet firefighter Volodymyr Pravyk's (he was among the first liquidators who arrived at accident place) changed from brown to blue.
The radioactive cloud flew to America
The radioactive cloud formed after the accident covered most of Europe and reached the eastern coast of the United States. The first who raised the alarm was at the Swedish nuclear power plant staff. On April 27, they found finding radioactive particles on the clothes of employees who worked 1100 km from the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. Moreover, in early May 1986 the Chernobyl disaster, radioactive rains passed in Ireland.
Red Forest
The pine forest adjacent to the Chernobyl nuclear power plant took on the largest dose of radiation – the trees died and became brownish-red in half an hour after the explosion.
Radiation mutants
After the disaster at Chernobyl, people heard stories about mutations caused by radiation: animals with extra heads, snouts and paws. According to scientists, the number of mutations really increased, but not that much.
Belarus got the blow
About 70% of the radiation pollution of Chernobyl NPP was in Belarus, which lost because of this the majority of farmland and suffered more than $ 200 billion in losses.
Chernobyl zone hot spots
The conteminates territory of Chernobyl and other towns and villages will not return to its original state for the next 48 thousand years. In some places, the level of radiation is not so high, but there are still "hot spots" with a high concentration of radioactive substances. They are, basically, toxic compounds of cesium and strontium. They can penetrate the bones, teeth and tissues of humans and animals, seriously damaging health.
Chernobyl disater main facts
200 thousand in evacuation
Because of the accident at the Chernobyl NPP, the authorities conducted one of the largest evacuations of the population in peacetime. Only 36 hours after the emergency began the resettlement of residents of the city of Pripyat, located 3 km from the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. The total number of evacuated people was 200 thousand. The list of settlements that were subject to compulsory resettlement, contained more than 70 towns and villages.
600,000 liquidators
In the first two years after the disaster at the Chernobyl NPP, 240 thousand people participated in the liquidation of its consequences. Moreover, for all time – about 600 thousand.
The second fire
A month after the explosion of the reactor, on May 23, 1986, a fire broke out at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. To eliminate the fire, it took up to 8 hours, 268 firefighters took part in the fire extinguishing. Some firefighters received significant radiation doses. The fire was strictly classified by the order of Mikhail Gorbachev and became known to the broad masses only after the collapse of the USSR.
Lead and Uranium
According to various estimates, in addition to radioactive substances near Chernobyl NPP, as a result of the explosion, 250,000 tons of heavy metal, lead, toxic to living organisms, fell into the environment. In addition, before the accident in the reactor was about 180 tons of nuclear fuel (uranium dioxide), of which the atmosphere, according to various estimates, got up to 30%.
Zone for three Kyiv
The area of the exclusion zone in the epicenter of Chernobyl NPP is 2,600 square km (1,000 square miles) in the Kyiv and Zhytomyr refions. Three big cities such as a capital of Ukraine (or 3 New York, or 24 Paris) can fit in this area.
Four or two hundred?
No one knows the exact number of victims of the Chernobyl disaster. In the early days of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant explosion, 38 people died, most from acute radiation sickness. According to World Health Organization data, the number of deaths from cancer caused by the disaster ranges from four thousand to nine thousand people. The international organization "Greenpeace" believes these data are understated at times and brings its figure – up to 200 thousand deaths.
Tame fox Semyon
In Pripyat, near Chernobyl, lives a tame fox called Semyon, who the tourists feed. Thanks to his communication skills, Semyon is a star of social networks.
Tried to return
In 2012, 35 former residents of Chernobyl appealed to the authorities with an open letter to allow them to return to their homes, for which they have ownership. The officials didn't want to take the responsability answered that the law forbids even former residents to return to the contaminated territories, and refused the request.
131 fearless
In the exclusion zone near Chernobyl, as of today, there are still 131 residents. Tourists from all over the world come to visit them.
Arch lowered the radiation background
The level of radiation near the Arch, which was built in 2017 and, covered the reactor that exploded in 1986, fell by more than 10 times. In general, in the exclusion zone, the radiation background decreased by 2-3 times and amounted to 7-15 milliroentgens per hour. Before it was 20-40 (at the rate of 20). Complete elimination of the zone will take 24,000 years.
Rich flora and fauna
Thanks to the photo-traps, the researchers of Chernobyl recorded the appearance of lynxes, bears, bisons and other rare animals in the local forests.
Shelter-record holder
"Shelter-2", or Arch, covering the old sarcophagus of the fourth reactor, is the world's largest mobile structure. Construction cost 2 billion euros.
Night in the zone costs $ 8
In June last year, ukrainian businessmen opened a hostel for tourists exactly in the center of Chernobyl. It is situated in the premises of the former hostel "Polesie". There are 100 beds. A day's stay costs 200 UAH (nearly $ 8), and you need to order the number through the State Agency for the management of the exclusion zone. The rooms have televisions, shower and even Wi-Fi.
More and more tourists
The Chernobyl zone is very popular among tourists. Only last year there were 3520 delegations, or 49 758 people, which is 35% more than in 2016. The share of foreign tourists is 70%, and the geography of guests covers 114 countries. Most often they come from the US, Britain, Germany and Poland to look at the consequences of the enormous accident. However, there are tourists even from Japan and Australia.
Chernobyl Lenin
One of the last monuments of Lenin in Ukraine still stands directly in Chernobyl. The dwellers ask the authorities not to demolish it.
Dangerous metal
The equipment that remained after the accident in Chernobyl was partially cut to scrap metal, and therefore after decontamination, the metal was taken to a clean area outside the zone. While there were cases when cars export metal without the necessary documents and radiation control. Much as there were also attempts to take out dangerous timber to sell it to private sawmills.
The zone was shot in a musical video
The exclusion zone of Chernobyl has become popular in recent years to shoot musical video. The real sensation produced a clip of the legendary British band Pink Floyd on the instrumental composition Marooned, shot in abandoned Pripyat. Consequently, for the first three days, the video was watched by more than 500 thousand people, and the video has more than 20 million views.
Energy of sun
In January 2018, construction of a small solar power station with a capacity of 1 megawatt was completed near Chernobyl. It consists of 3,800 photovoltaic panels installed on an area of 1.6 hectares (4 acres), just one hundred meters (300 feet) from the former reactor of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. The station is capable of providing electricity to 2 thousand city apartments.
The Chernobyl NPP in video games
The series of video games "Stalker" made Chernobyl and the events around it famous for the whole world and became as a result a huge cult. According to various estimates, it was sold from four to eight million copies of the game.
Accident and creativity
A great variety of musicians has used the theme of Chernobyl in their creation because it remains topic #1 in the whole world. "Scriabin", famous Ukrainian group, recorded the track "Chernobyl Forever" in 2000. The famous Italian singer Adriano Celentano sang the song "Dreams in Chernobyl" 10 years ago. The Ukrainian band "Onuka" also recorded mini-album "Vidlik" last year, dedicated to the events at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant.
The "Arc" for missiles
By the way, one of the most popular attractions of the Chernobyl Zone is "Arc". This is a Soviet radar station for an early detection system for intercontinental rocket launches.
Tapestry in the UN
Tapestry "Chernobyl" of 40 square meters (431 square feet) is located in the UN Hall in New York. Belarusian artist Alexander Krishchenko wove it.
The series about the disaster
Meanwhile, HBO Studio, which gave the world a series of "Games of Thrones", is now shooting a mini-series "Chernobyl", which will tell directly about the day when the accident occurred. In the series such famous actors as Stellan Skarsgård ("Nymphomaniac", "Thor", "Clever Will Hunting") and Emily Watson ("New York, New York", "Cutting Waves") are playing.
Museum and exhibitions
In 1992, a hundred kilometers (62 miles) from the epicenter of the disaster in Kiev, the National Museum "Chernobyl" opened, that is most noteworthy. It is an educational center for ecological culture and safety of life. It collected a huge number of artifacts and documents about the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. There are regular creative exhibitions and environmental training.
Mysticism in movies
This year in Ukraine, the film "Brahma" will be screened. This is a screen version of the play "At the Beginning and End of Time" by Ukrainian playwright Pavel Arye, who will tell a mystical story about the life of a family in the Chernobyl zone. The main role will play Irma Vitovskaya as Grandma Prisi.

There's a good chance Godzilla: Kind of the Monsters director Michael Dougherty is unfamiliar to you, but give his previous movie Krampus a shot. The horror-comedy manages to have some fun with a murderous Christmas creature terrorizing a family over the holidays, and judging by the tongue-in-cheek tone of the Godzilla sequel's new trailer he's going to make apocalyptic destruction a damned good time, as well.
Set to a darkly playful rendition of "Over the Rainbow", the footage focuses heavily on Godzilla's towering foes Mothra, Rodan, and King Ghidorah as they unleash beautiful destruction. Meanwhile, the human characters played by Millie Bobby Brown, Vera Farmiga, Kyle Chandler, and Bradley Whitford are just happy to have Godzilla on their side because the alternative would be disaster.
This may be the best trailer yet and guarantees we're going to get one Hell of a gorgeous flick. Let's just hope the action lives up to expectations.
Godzilla: King of the Monsters opens May 31st 2019: Check out the synopsis and the trailer below!
Following the global success of "Godzilla" and "Kong: Skull Island" comes the next chapter in Warner Bros. Pictures' and Legendary Pictures' cinematic Monsterverse: "Godzilla: King of the Monsters," an epic action adventure that pits Godzilla against some of the most popular monsters in pop culture history.
The new story follows the heroic efforts of the crypto-zoological agency Monarch as its members face off against a battery of god-sized monsters, including the mighty Godzilla, who collides with Mothra, Rodan, and his ultimate nemesis, the three-headed King Ghidorah. When these ancient super-species—thought to be mere myths—rise again, they all vie for supremacy, leaving humanity's very existence hanging in the balance.

Andrew Lichtenstein understands Memorial Day.
I went to my first military funeral in November of 2003. A local newspaper wrote that Jacob Fletcher, a 28 year-old private from Long Island, New York, was being buried with military honors at the national cemetery in Pine Lawn, Hundreds of American soldiers had already died in Iraq, and I believed deeply that their sacrifice was important, that their deaths should not be ignored.
The ceremony itself was brief. A lone bugler played taps, an honor guard of seven soldiers fired their rifles into the air three times, for a twenty-one-gun salute, and the American flag covering the casket was carefully folded and presented to Jacob's family. A military funeral has the feeling of having been designed while at war, under fire, and lasts, at the gravesite, about eight minutes.
Despite the sadness and grief all around me, I appreciated the simplicity and beauty of the event. At the time, soldiers' deaths in Iraq were not being covered by the national media. It was there, beside the freshly dug dirt of Private Fletcher's grave, that I knew this was for me more than another story. It was a commitment I had to make, a chance to bear witness.
In the spring of 2004, US News and World Report agreed to fund my travel expenses to attend ten funerals across the country. Since the ceremonies were short, and to some extent, similar, I felt that it was important to add geographic diversity. Every decent photograph can be considered a landscape, and I wanted to rediscover my country through a schedule determined by grief and death. So one week I went to the high plains of Western Nebraska, the next, the desert of Southern Arizona, then the subdivisions of Central Florida.
I had been wrong. No matter how standardized the script of a military funeral, no two were the same. In the Berkshires of Western Massachusetts, the local police closed off the roads to all traffic but the funeral party. In Arkansas, the father of a boy who had given away all of his favorite belongings before he left for war, knowing that he would not be coming back, invited me over after the funeral for a memorial barbeque.
Not feeling comfortable, not wanting to offend or intrude, and always remembering that the people being buried were so much more than another picture for a photo essay, there were some funerals where I never took the camera out of the bag. And then there were others where I became an official photographer of sorts, e mailing images to the friends and family of the soldiers. Everyone's relationship to death is different.
For this book, from the fall of 2003 until the end of 2006, I attended between fifty and sixty funerals, I do not know, I never counted. Zachary Barr, a radio journalist, and I also visited ten families across America who had lost a brother, father, son, or husband, in Iraq. Some grieving families wholeheartedly supported the war, and the Bush administration for starting it. A few were very angry with the government. But for most, their loved one's death was deeply personal, beyond politics. It was from these families that I learned the most. They helped to show me what we have really lost, the incredible, priceless human sacrifice of war.

text: EURUSD's bullish movement from 1.0569 extended to as high as 1.1285. Near term support is at the ascending trend line on its daily chart. As long as the pair is above the trend line, the bullish move could be expected to continue, and next target would be at around 1.1450 area. Key support is at 1.1070, only a breakdown below this level will indicate that the bullish movement had completed at 1.1285 already, then the pair will find support at around 1.1000.

Food: Well & Truly snacks
Guys! I have Well & Truly (lol) gone through my drafts on here and I have only 7 more to write! That doesn't include the posts I have yet to write that are on my phone but oh well. I am happy I have made solid progress with these. Today's post is about some snacks that I got sent in June ( I know). I actually took these to Glastonbury but because I have had such a backlog of posts I've only been able to get around to these now.
The first packet I got was their crunchy cheese sticks and the second packet I got were the Crunchy Sour Cream and Onion Sticks. What is great about the packaging is it quite clearly labels how many calories are in the package and other nutritional information clearly on the front of the packaging. Therefore you can easily make informed decisions about what you are eating.
Anyways, these reminded me a lot of the crisps I had growing up whilst in Asia. Those crisps were called Twisties ( have a little google) and they have kind of the similar texture as cheetos. Sorry I just find it easier to compare these to more or less well known crisps. I'm sure however that these are probably a bit healthier. Obviously everything in moderation....
I remember finding both of these crisps delicious but having a leaning towards the sour cream and onion sticks, I mean who doesn't like sour cream and onion. On the other hand, the cheese sticks were equally tasty and I couldn't fault either of them.
I definitely recommend giving these a try as they are only £2 for 100g packs in Tesco. They also do Gluten Free Tortilla chips for £1.99 which I want to try next.
Do you have any crisps that you wanna recommend to me?

Carol Fenster's 100 Best Quick Gluten Free Recipes
In all the discussions online and out in the world about gluten-free, one thing seems to get lost in the din. Truly, we all need to understand, gluten free people are just busy, regular people, and they are not going away. No amount of complaining about how hard it is to cook for them will change anything.
They are here, get used to it.

She's been developing recipes that work for GF people for almost 20 years. I've written about Carol before, read my interview here.
Fenster is a respected expert, and has been living GF since it was a real endeavor just to get some non-wheat flours. That's how Carol knows just how GF people really live.
They are busy. They want to get dinner on the table. Just like everybody else.
To meet this need, Fenster has put out yet another book, in which she has curated just the quick, easy, super popular recipes from her giant library of winning GF recipes.
Her brand new, 100 Best Quick Gluten Free Recipes meets that need, or as she puts it, solves the "refrigerator stare-down." If you want one small volume to put on the kitchen shelf, grab this one. Keep her hefty 1000 Best Gluten Free Recipes on the sturdy bookshelf in the dining room, where you can peruse it at your leisure.
This one, you will grab when hunger has preceded your meal plan. You'll be glad you did.

A handy list of pantry items to stock will set you up for success. There are even some menus in case you just want Fenster's sure hand to guide you to putting a meal together.

Microwave Muffin in a Mug
Excerpted from 100 BEST QUICK GLUTEN-FREE RECIPES © 2014 by Carol Fenster. Reproduced by permission of Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. All rights reserved.
Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: about 60 to 70 seconds
Use this muffin recipe when you're pressed for time. Although you could make the whole muffins from start to finish quickly right when you need them, here's the most efficient way: Whisk together the dry ingredients the night before and put them in a covered bowl on the countertop. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, molasses, and oil until smooth and then refrigerate, tightly covered. Next morning, grease the mugs, then whisk together the dry and wet ingredients, and divide the batter evenly among the mugs. Cook in the microwave and, in a minute you will have fresh, hot, über-healthy muffins. Eat them immediately right out of the mug! Easy!
1 cup ground flax meal
2 tablespoons chopped walnuts
1 teaspoon baking powder[1/2] teaspoon apple pie spice or pumpkin pie spice [1/4] teaspoon salt
1 large egg[1/4] cup molasses (not blackstrap)
2 tablespoons canola oil
1. Grease 4 shallow, microwave-safe coffee mugs (the size of the mugs will determine how high the muffins will rise and how quickly they will cook). In a small bowl, whisk together the flax meal, walnuts, baking powder, apple pie spice, and salt until well blended. Add the egg, molasses, and oil, and whisk until thoroughly blended. The batter will be droopy-soft. Divide the batter among mugs. Place the mugs on saucers or plates to catch any drips.
2. Microwave on High power for 60 to 70 seconds. The muffins will rise up and possibly fall over the side of the mug (depending on the mug size); the saucer catches the drips. The muffins are done when they are no longer shiny; cooking time may vary depending on the wattage of your microwave oven. (They won't brown like muffins baked in a regular oven.) Remove from the microwave and cool slightly before eating right out of the mug. Or, run a sharp knife around the edge to loosen and remove the muffin from the mug. Serve immediately.
STORAGE: These muffins are best eaten immediately after cooking.
Per serving: 345 calories; 10g protein; 23g total fat; 11g fiber; 28g carbohydrates; 47mg cholesterol; 290mg sodium
NOTE: These muffins are very versatile. Instead of flax meal, use gluten-free oat flour. Rather than molasses, use maple syrup. Replace the apple pie spice with ground cinnamon. Use melted coconut oil rather than canola oil. The possibilities are endless, and finished taste and texture will vary depending on your modifications, but this allows you to tailor this muffin recipe to suit your needs.
Thank you. Both for the book recommendation and for your own cookbook of "Gluten Free Pasta". I have celiacs disease and GF pasta from scratch was something that I thought I would never be able to do. Tonight I made your basic pasta recipe and ran it through a hand-cranked pasta maker and served it for dinner. It was an early Christmas at my house as everyone thoroughly enjoyed good GF noodles for dinner. 😀 It is very encouraging to have the first recipe work exactly as described as I have purchased other cookbooks that were only theoretical recipes because the author had never really tried them out.
Thank you again.

MsgToSkype (Freeware)
A Windows CLI program for sending Skype™ Instant Message (IM)Introduction
MsgToSkype program installation
Sending Instant Message to a Person
Sending Instant Message to a Category of Skype
Sending LoriotPro alarm messages to Skype client
Setting up the Skype client to receive messages
MsgToSkype information and errors
Luteus has released MsgToSKYPE, a Windows Command Line Interface program (CLI) for sending text messages from any computer running a Skype client to another Skype client. It can be launched like any DOS/WINDOWS program under XP or higher Windows platform.
Skype is a next-generation peer-to-peer software that lets you make free calls and/or chats over the internet to anyone else who also has the Skype service. It's free and easy to download and use, and it works with most computers.
MsgToSkype is very simple to use, you only need to know the Skype ID of the recipient of the message.
Syntax: MsgToSkype -U Recipient Skype ID My message
To work the MsgToSkype program requires that you have a Skype program installed on your PC and a registered Skype ID. Note that the message will effectively be sent by the Skype client. The MsgToSkype program just gives orders to the Skype client program for executing a send.
Visit the Skype WEB site for downloading the Skype client
MsgToSkype program can be downloaded and used for free and can be used without any restrictions.
MsgToSkype and LoriotPro
Initially, Luteus software editor has written MsgToSkype to enable customers to notify network administrators of any alarms that would be generated by the LoriotPro Monitoring software.
In LoriotPro alarm filtering you might want to trigger a popup alarm window on a remote user PC. The idea behind MsgToSkype is to simply use the Skype program and its capabilities which is able to send and receive instant message.
How it works ? LoriotPro is able to trigger an action when receiving an SNMP trap, a proprietary EVENT or a SYSLOG. The action is defined in a filter. LoriotPro checks in real time that filter conditions are matched and launches the according action. LoriotPro is internally designed to process hundreds of incoming events per second and trigger the appropriate action(s).
As an example, we want to notify network administrators or IT managers of any type of alarms by sending them a message that will trigger a popup of the Skype window on their workstation. LoriotPro will be in charge of triggering the MsgToSkype executable program that will send the message.
Example of a Skype client receiving LoriotPro alarms and events:
MsgToSkype program installation
The MsgToSkype program consists of an exe file and use the Microsoft Windows library Skype4COM.dll (Skype copyright).
Skype4COM is an interface (ActiveX) which represents the Skype API as objects, with properties, commands, and events and notifications. Skype4Com.dll is automatically included together with Skype Extras Manager during Skype installation. If a user has unchecked Extras Manager during installation, Skype4Com library will be unavailable on that machine. In that case register the Skype4COM.dll with the
following Windows CLI command: Regsvr32 Skype4COM.dll
Unzip it to the directory of your choice.
Remark : The /bin directory is the right place if you want to use it with LoriotPro.
You can now use the MsgToSkype program.
The Visual C++ Redistributable Package (VCRedist_x86.exe) has to be executed on the target system as a prerequisite to installation of the application.
Sending Instant Message to a Person
Preliminary conditions: Before using MsgToSkype you should have a Skype CLient running on your PC with a valid login and you must be signed in.
To use the MsgToSkype program, open a command window and type the
Syntax: MsgToSkype U Recipient Skype ID My message
If this is the first time that you launch MsgToSkype, Skype will popup a warning
Select �Allow this program to use Skype�.� Click OK
On the remote Skype client a popup (depending on the Skype settings of the chat notification status) will be displayed.
The Chat Message Windows appears in reduced mode
Opening the Chat window displays the received messages.
Read the next chapter to know how to use LoriotPro for sending alarms to a remote network administrator.
Sending Instant Message to a Category of Skype.
At the date we wrote this page, sending an Instant Message with MsgToSkype to a Group cannot be use due to limitation of the Skype4Com component.
To achieve the same goal it is possible to use the Category concept of the Skype interface.
A Category allows to define a set of users and MsgToSkype can use this Category and browse it to send Instant Message sequentially to all users located in this one.
Example of category creation.
Once the new Category created you must drag and drop the users from the All Contact Category to your New Category.
When done you can use the MsgToSkype program with the –CC option and instead of giving a user name you must give the Category Name.
Syntax: MsgToSkype –CC "Category Name" "My message"
The program will try to send the message to all the users assigned to this category.
Warning: do not use Group and only Person in category.
Sending LoriotPro alarm messages to Skype client
To trigger a message to a remote Skype client you need to know which message you need to filter.
In the following example we use a Loriotpro Plug-in that verifies the presence of a web server.
In the Event log we can see the event 10011 indicating that the WEB server is not responding.
A right click on this event allows you to choose the Event Filter Wizard option
In the Action type, choose the Start Windows Program option. Next choose the MsgToSkype program (You should have already copied it into the /bin directory of the LoriotPro directory).
The full path is automatically added. If MsgToSkype is in the /bin directory of LoriotPro the path is not necessary.
Next, click on the wizard button to add the program�s optional parameters.
In the custom string, complete the MsgToSkype program with the required parameter.
The Skype ID is loriotpro_support in our example. This is usually enclosed by quotes but quotes should be replace by the %Q value.
The %m is also a variable that is the text message of the initial event. You can also add any of the other variables or your own text message.
Do not forget to enclose the message by %Q.
You will find more detailed information about filter settings in the Loriotpro documentation.
To be sure that the message will be sent at the next occurrence, you should verify it with the Event Simulator.
Open the Event simulator from the menu Tool->EventSimulator option
Choose the Event number to generate and keep the other default values. Click on the SendEvent button.
By default each time that LoriotPro will trigger a MsgToSkype action, a popup like this will appear:
To avoid the screen being displayed with each action, change the syntax of the action by adding an underscore in front of the MsgToSkype.
_MsgToSkype.exe �U %Qloriotpro_support%Q %Q%m%Q
Check with the administrator that the message has been received.
Don�t forget that you can stop any filter action at any time by un-checking the action (example below):
Setting up the Skype client to receive messages
To be able to send a message or chat, both the sender and the recipient must have the Skype client installed. In our configuration we consider that LoriotPro is the Sender and the Network administrator the receiver.
But the Skype client is fully be directional. The receiver can answer to the Skype messages sent by LoriotPro but LoriotPro will do nothing with the incoming messages. They will be displayed in the Skype Chat window.
You must first create an account on your system to be able to use the Skype client.
The first time that you launch Skype the software will ask you to create an account. In our example the sender will be the LoriotPro application.
Then you can edit your profile for adding complementary information Menu File->
Edit Profile
In the menu Tools->Option you can modify some of your preferences.
The chat appearance can be changed on the Skype client.
On the Skype receiver side, the chat window can be customized to display or hide the participants.
The normal aspect displays the Participant to the conversation like in the example below:
You can get rid of the right panel with the participant names by selecting the �hide� mode.
In the same menu (option chat notification window)� you can configure the Chat window behavior on alert.
As explained if you select the Notify me option, the chat window will blink in the taskbar or reopen if necessary.
Fo any customisation, consult the Skype WEB site and documentation http://support.skype.com/en
MsgToSkype information and errors
The program displays information when running.
If you do not specify a Skype ID and a message the system warns you
If the Skype client is not launched, MsgToSkype will launch it automatically.
Error when not sign in or if Group is used instead of user

Long, luxurious, healthy hair. What girl does not dream about it? But what to do when the nose is an important date, and on the head three volosiny? If the thought «have something to do with the hair,» visited you for two months, there's still time to get your liquid pigtails in order.
The content of the article
- The plan of salvation
- How to apply?
- Step two
- The result
The plan of salvation
The first step
The first thing you need to purchase a small Arsenal of essential oils that promote quick hair growth: cloves, rosemary, ylang-ylang, cinnamon, fir, juniper and Melissa.
- Clove – stimulates follicles, removes dandruff, accelerates growth and strengthens the roots.
- Rosemary – improves blood circulation.
- Ylang-ylang restores weak hair.
- Cinnamon – prevents breakage and hair loss.
- Fir – nourishes, relieves inflammation.
- Melissa – controls oil balance, prevents the bonding.
- Juniper – prevents hair loss, regulates the sebaceous glands.
How to apply?
If you are very lazy to do mask, heating the oil in a water bath, for you, painfully, that there is an easier way.
Regularly when washing your hair, add 2-3 drops of any of these oils in a portion of the shampoo.
Step two
You should buy at the pharmacy vials nicotinic acid, pack of 10 pieces, so I take 3-4 packs.
And every day (no skipping!) RUB one ampoule to the hair roots, especially in those parts in which bald patches appear faster.
One such ampoule greatly improves the blood circulation, respectively, the hair growth will be harder twice! Nicotinic acid has no smell, your hair will be nice to smell due to essential oils.
The result
If you follow these simple manipulations regularly, to the desired date, hair will become healthy appearance, is much stronger, will be less to fall out, and most importantly — will grow twice as fast!

By Avery
Greetings family and friends! We have had a busy week in India.
We started with a couple days in Jhadol, a rural village near Udaipur where an NGO started a school that gives opportunities to young girls in villages that would not otherwise have access to education. During our time in Jhadol, we stayed at a homestay with a family. Our homestay involved sleeping on the porch near livestock and laughing with these kind families. Though we could not communicate well, we all enjoyed our time and could feel the love that they shared with us. We also spent your time in Jhadol teaching English classes at the school. Each member of our group was in a different classroom with a different grade and taught a couple of hours of English each day. Our free time was spent singing and dancing with all the girls, and looking at the cute puppies at the school.
Our time in Rajasthan was done so we headed to Agra, home to the famous Taj Mahal. Going to the Taj was a mixed bag of experiences for all of us. It was big and beautiful and surprised us as well. Some of the things we learned about it were that all of the decorative "paintings" were actually precious/semi-precious stones set into the building (emeralds, rubies, etc). The atmosphere there was a little intense. It was so crowded and everyone was literally just taking pictures of themselves with it.
Something that was good about our group being there was that we got to go with our contact in Agra, Arif-Ji, and he was very knowledgeable and showed us super cool optical illusion which really impressed us.
Arif-Ji also showed us around the historical Red Fort of Agra, which was both a palace and military base during the Mughal Empire. The tour was filled with interesting historical facts, more optical illusion tricks, and Arif-Ji's now-famous, graceful saunter.
Next, we headed to Leh, Ladakh. Going to Leh was so much fun. We took the train from Agra to Delhi and Doug and Kate kept us well stocked in bananas. The ride itself was a little annoying sometimes because of large groups of people standing in the middle of the aisles of the train, many of which were staring at us. Ah, India.
After we got off the train we spent the day in Delhi shopping or doing anything we needed to do before heading to the airport early in the morning. We woke up before the sun was out and hopped in some taxis and took a smelly ride to the airport. The plane ride was awesome because after everyone took a nap we had a good time gawking at the Himalayan's below us. Getting off that plane and feeling the cold air around us was a moment a lot of us thought would never come after the heat of the rest of India. That wonderful cold breeze brought us back to life for a couple minutes and then… it dumped us on our backs. (That and the thali plates in Delhi but that's a story for a different time.) Altitude sickness, for some, was no joke. That cool breeze also carried significantly less oxygen than we were used to. I, personally, could barely walk to her guest house when we got out of the van taxi. The next morning many of us were pretty sick. The next few days were a mix of rest and relaxed shopping in the small, cute, Ladakhi town of Leh, filled with wool scarves (bought!), yummy comfort food (eaten!), and kind people (met!).
We are all adjusting to the elevation and getting ready for our trek! We are excited to explore the Himalayas a bit more in the coming weeks.
Love, Avery.
Teaching English in Jhadol.
All the chai in the morning after an overnight train.
The Taj, of course.
The Red Fort of Agra with Arif-Ji.
Our flight into the Himalayas.
Exploring Leh by visiting the Shanti Stupa.

Dahlgren UMC aspires to make disciples by expressing the love of God both within the walls of the church to equip ourselves for service to the community and to the world beyond. All we have in the way of resources and facilities are gifts from a loving God, and we its stewards.
Those gifts are shared with the community through church-sponsored or -hosted outreach activities like the Christian Preschool, the Little Lambs Bible and Art Time, making the playground available to the community, and hosting the scout troop.
The church, corporately and through the activities of individual members, extends God's love to the community in many other ways, such as the food chest in the atrium collecting for the county social services, support to the Thurman Brisben, providing meals for school children, and countless caring cards sent, meals delivered, and rides and helping hands lent to those in need.
For current activities see our Outreach and Missions Blog
As a part of a connectional church Dahlgren supports UMC Global Missions, many of which members of the church participate in as volunteers.

Written by Jessica Hemingway | Last Updated October 30th, 2019Our goal, here at Best Company, is to provide you with honest, reliable information you need to find companies you can trust.
If you're reading through your new car warranty for the first time, or you are considering purchasing a new car, there may be a few terms in there that you don't know. To help you understand your warranty, we've defined a few key terms:
- Bumper-to-Bumper / Exclusionary: a type of warranty also commonly referred to as a basic or standard car warranty. All automakers offer a basic warranty for a set amount of time or miles. This warranty covers basic, non-engine parts of the car such as the power steering, fuel system, lights, sensors, audio system, brakes, and climate control. If any of these parts malfunction while you are covered with a bumper-to-bumper warranty, your dealer should pay to fix them.
- Deductible: the amount of money you pay the repair facility for repairs on your vehicle. Some warranties cover the cost of all repairs and labor, but others require you to pay a set amount out of pocket.
- Federal Emission Defect Warranty: a type of warranty that covers repairs your car needs to meet the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) standards. This includes defective materials and repairs.
- Plan Term / Plan Expiration: the length of time or the amount of mileage your warranty covers. When you reach the end of your plan term, for example 3 years / 60,000 miles, your warranty plan will expire.
- Powertrain: a type of warranty that covers certain "powertrain" parts of your vehicle. These parts include the transmission, engine, and drivetrain (transfers power from the engine to the wheels and down). If your powertrain components are found defective or damaged before your powertrain warranty expires, the manufacturer will pay for replacements.
- Roadside Assistance: provides owners with assistance if the vehicle breaks down. This often includes a number you can call 24-hours a day, 365 days a year for emergency assistance, towing, help with a flat tire, or fuel problems.
- Surface Corrosion: rust on the outside of your car. Substances such as salt and iron oxide can make it easy for rust to form on your car. Some warranties do not protect against surface corrosion.
- Transferability: when you sell your car and transfer your warranty to the new owner. Car manufacturers may allow you to transfer the entire warranty, half, or none.
- Wear and Tear: when components of your car stop working due to external conditions. This means that your air system or radio stops working because of operational error, not because the parts can wear out. Some warranties cover wear and tear.
- Stated Component: a type of warranty that provides more coverage than a powertrain warranty but not as much coverage as an exclusionary warranty. This kind of warranty states all of the vehicle components that it covers.
There are also other important things to know when purchasing a car warranty, like their rules and limits. autopom! goes over important considerations to make when thinking about a car warranty.

Singing, dancing without moving your arms, a green pint or two – it's St Paddy's day again and considering it's on a Sunday this year, it's safe to assume this year will be one hell of a Craic!
Here's how to go green (literally – if ya' drink like the Irish, you'll be going green by 2am) be Irish, and celebrate St Patrick's Day in Vienna. (Sunday, March 17, 2019)
The big St Patrick's celebrations
The pubs putting on the works for their Paddy's Day parties:
Charlie P's – St. Patrick's Weekend 2019

When: SAT–SUN, March 17–18
Molly Darcy's – the Paddy's day celebration
Where: Teinfaltstraße 6, 1010
When: FRI–SUN, March 16–18
One of Vienna's most beloved Irish pubs, Molly Darcy's, will already start on the Friday with their St Paddy's Day marathon and will continue it into the early hours of Sunday morning. They'll dye their beer green, have plenty of live Irish music happening throughout the weekend, and all the other shenanigans you expect from this beloved Irish festival. Meanwhile, expect it to be as busy as the tap-dancing, yodelling lion exhibit at the zoo on the big day (this exhibit may or may not exist). And if you get thrown out for unruly behaviour, don't worry – they'll have a bar outside as part of Molly Darcy's lively street party. Besides, Molly Darcy's are also known for their good pub food that will pair well with your green beer.
St. Patrick's Weekend mit Live Musik
When: FRI–SUN, March 15–17
Where: The Golden Harp, Schottenfeldgasse 3, 1070
When the Irish are all busy drinking to their famous saint, you gotta join in the celebrations, right? At this Irish bar in Neubau, The Golden Harp, there'll be also great live music for you to enjoy while celebrating.

When: FRI–SUN, March 15–17
Where: Hernalser Hauptstraße 56, 1170
Other Irish bars where to go green on St. Patrick's Day in Vienna

SUN: 10am–12am

Celebrating St Patrick's Day without a pub
Everybody loves a parade that ends in a party
Vienna's St Patrick's Day Parade and After-Party 2019
When: SAT, March 16, 12pm
Where: the parade starts at Schottenstift
Led by a band of Irish pipers, an army of green will be marching around the city on Saturday afternoon – spot the Irish dancers, the random confused Scot playing the bag-pipe and the leprechaun amongst the sea of those Guinness or Magner novelty green hats that everybody has a collection of at home from years of Paddy's day celebrations. And everybody is welcome to join in on the parade! It will start at the Schottenstift church in the old city centre, carry on to the Freyung, and worm its way to the Gasthaus Stiegl Ambulanz. This bar, with its massive beer garden located in the Altes AKH, will play host to a family-friendly festival where there will be dancing, Guinness and other Irish-inspired fun. You can check out the day's program.
Get a selfie with the green Ferris wheel, Burgtheater, or a bridge over the Donaukanal!
When: March 12–17
Where: Riesenradplatz, 1020
For more details, see here.
The Irish love making famous sights in various cities around the world go green on their big day, and like every year, Vienna's beloved Riesenrad (Ferris wheel) and the Burgtheater are this city's green-ing victims. And a few bridges over the Donaukanal will be going green, as well. Head to the Prater for a look at the green round masterpiece with a bottle of Baileys, or jump on for a ride (maybe leave the Baileys behind – there are no windows on this Ferris wheel so if you're sick, it will be you who suffers, not some poor unexpecting sucker below (although we do hear, like getting pooped on by a seagull means good luck, this can mean something similar. It's all a matter of perspective).

#Blogging, #blogpost, #followthelight, #followyourheart, #gooutside, #lifeishappening, #makeyoursoulhappy, #sittingatadesk, #thelightisjustright, #windowsanddoors, #writing
There was a beautiful sunrise this morning.
Walking out onto the front porch, I actually did a double take when I saw it. It gave me peace, and knowing, that if God can do something that breathtakingly beautiful each morning, then He has a beautiful plan for our lives as well.
I read a Blog post recently, where the Blogger had posted a picture of his work space. He encouraged the reader to post a picture of theirs. We probably all have the desk, and chair setup, similar to his, but my favorite place to Blog, is sitting in the middle of my bed. As I type this I realized, I'm at my desk. This new day is streaming through the den windows.
It's all about the light for me, and following the light.
The bed Blog doesn't happen until later in the day, when the light is dancing around the room. There is just something about sitting in that light while writing. My fellow Blogger stated he sits at his desk 14 hours a day. Well, you can just add that to my list of the don't wants.
Life is happening outside, and we have windows and doors that allow glimpses of it to come in. My hope is you are not spending your life staring at a screen, or sitting at a desk. I have spent a lot of my life doing both of those, but that is not for me anymore. Where is the light dancing in your life?

I do have plans to PLAN (*smiles*) the upcoming year. I always choose after prayer a word for the year and it is always what I need. Last year was FORWARD and we did that for sure. I wrote about this earlier in December.
I will post later in the week my Word of the Year and some of my "goals"! But for now I wanted to encourage you to embrace the last few days we have left. I am finding that it is better to start something now than to continue to wait until January 1st.
In other words you want to plan some homemaking goals then do that but go ahead and do something to jump start it to have a good kick off before 2016!
If you want to lose weight go ahead and began to slowly cut things out so it isn't so hard on January 1st!!!
If you want to cut out debt or budget better. Take these next few days to jump start by making your budget and researching on it NOW!
If you want to read more in the year to come start your list of books and go ahead and get them from the library.
You plan to read your bible daily, pray daily, fast more....why wait!!!??? Start this DAY!
I encourage us to start SMALL steps to set us up for SUCCESS for the NEW YEAR!!!! I have found that when I try to do too many things at once I ALWAYS fail. But I may start one of my goals this week and then one the next and then so on. I usually set 5 goals a year.
Blessings my friends!!!!! Have a SUPER WONDERFUL DAY!

Blacklight show Animatix-Lux
We provide exceptional black light shows. Our shows attain wonderful effects through the use of black light. Awarded as the "Artist of the year 2010"
Animatix Lux: An incredibly visual light show with uv-light and light juggling on the newest level of the LED-technology. Animatix Lux abducts the spectator into another world with rapid choreografies, whirling lightobjects, creative and new outfits in a futuristic and animalistic blacklight show. A whole new world emerges in this show and as if by a ghost hand, lucent objects are spinning in the air. A new dimension of the light shows.
A beautiful story is told. The Animatix-Lux characters hatch out of their cocoon and discover the magic attraction of light. The blacklight characters dance around the light, they dance with the light and originates new visual pictures for the spectator again and again. The mix from blacklighttheater, LED technology and especially made costumes for this light show from the artist Usch Quednau create a hypnotizing atmosphere.
For the first time a huge insect flies over the head of the spectators during the show. Because of Effekt Technik this is possible for us.
Animatix Lux: that is an outstanding unique light show with professional dancers. Synchronous and astonishing movements and choreografies give the creatures of the Animatix- Lux show their unique and diversified characters. For booking this lightshow, please send us an email.
