The Quest For The Perfect Contact Lens
The number of contact lenses available nowadays is enough to make anyone's head spin. New patients often find it difficult to choose from the huge variety of contact lenses now available online. Previously, you had the contact lens given to you by your optometrist - now you can really choose what suits your lifestyle and budget.
We want to make the contact lens buying experience as pleasant as possible and to help you on your quest for the perfect lens, so we've compiled a few contact lens buying tips to bear in mind. Read through all of the sections below to figure which lenses on our website are the best fit for your needs.
A Primer On Contact Lens Types
Honestly, there's no such thing as an ideal contact lens. Each lens has its pros and cons that must be weighed against your personal needs.
To help you make an informed purchase, let's run through some of the most common contact lens types available on our website.
Daily Disposable Lenses: Convenient & Safe
Trusted by most optometrists, daily disposable lenses are designed (surprise, surprise) for one-day use. This means you place a new pair of lenses in your eyes every morning and toss them away before bed. Simplicity itself - no messy solutions or cases to think about.
Why do optometrists typically prefer these lenses? Simple: dailies offer the best protection from disruptive tear deposits (protein, oil, and lipids). Since you're changing your lenses every day, it's difficult for deposits to attach to your contacts lenses. Protein deposits are quite common on long-term lenses and could cause eye irritation and blurry vision. Oil and lipids can cause a blurry oily film on your lenses, that disrupt vision and can cause a feeling of dryness.
People who have underlying eye conditions like dry eye syndrome or allergies like hay fever are often advised to use daily disposable lenses. These customers usually experience a massive reduction in discomforting symptoms and an increase in natural tear production.
There is a price to pay for all of this convenience, daily disposable lenses are typically the most expensive option. Although modern manufacturing practices have made dailies more affordable, they still tend to be the priciest lenses on the market. When you consider the safety and comfort benefits, however, many Optometrists contend this is extra money well spent.
Another drawback of using daily disposable lenses is that they are the least eco-friendly option on this list. Environmentalists strongly urge everyone wearing dailies to throw their lenses in recycle bins every day.
A "Middle Of The Road" Option: Two-Week Disposable Lenses
For customers seeking the "best of both worlds," consider looking into two-week disposable lenses. As the name suggests, these lenses can be worn for two weeks before changing to a new pair. This time period is considered by many Optometrists to be a 'goldilocks' time period. Just long enough so the lenses stay almost deposit free before they are changed. Any longer, like with monthly lenses, and tear deposits can build up and start to affect wearing comfort and vision clarity.
Nevertheless, since you will be wearing these contacts bi-weekly, it's important to 'rinse and rub' them in high-quality disinfectant solution. You will also need to store these lenses in a durable contact lens container with an adequate amount of solution every night.
For people who are willing to sacrifice the enhanced convenience of daily disposables for a more affordable price tag, two-week disposable lenses might be for you. Just be sure to look through our all-in-one solutions and contact lens cases to help you practice immaculate eye hygiene.
Monthly Disposable Lenses
Compared with dailies and two-week lenses, monthly disposable lenses are the most cost effective and eco-friendly options available. Since you wear these lenses for about 30 days before throwing them away, you need to be extra vigilant about caring for them.
Note: most monthly lenses are only designed for daytime wear. Unless the manufacturer lists otherwise, you must remove these contact lenses every night before going to bed.
On our website, you'll find dozens of monthly disposable brands such as Biofinity, Air Optix, Crystal, and Proclear. Before you checkout, be sure to look through the disinfectant solutions and contact lens cases we offer to support your contact lens routine.
The Only Night-Approved Contacts: Continuous Wear
Continuous wear lenses are one of the most exciting innovations in the field of contact lens manufacturing. Usually made out of silicone hydrogel, continuous wear contacts are the only soft contacts that have been approved for overnight wear.
The secret to these lenses' success has to do with silicone hydrogel's enhanced breathability. Since the cornea has no blood vessels of its own, it heavily relies on oxygen from the air for its daily nutrient needs.
On top of letting more oxygen into the corneas, continuous wear lenses have evolved to treat a wide range of prescriptions - there are now continuous wear contact lenses for astigmatism, like Biofinity Toric and even lenses for Presbyopia.
Although you could wear these lenses overnight, you must remove them once their expiration date passes. Also, it's a good idea to remove continuous lenses overnight once a week, to give your eyes a chance to breathe normally and to clean the lenses overnight in high-quality solution.
Continuous wear contact lenses have been around for a long time, but to a large extent daily wear lenses have superseded them. However, they are still popular among emergency service people, for example firemen or hospital staff, that have irregular hours and need to be able to see instantly on waking up, or if you are going to a music festival for a few days, then the lenses are very convenient as you don't need to fiddle around with solutions and cases in a field.
Be sure to ask your Optometrist if continuous lenses are a good option for your lifestyle and eye type.
Hope For Astigmatism Patients: Toric Lenses
Unlike standard soft lenses, toric contacts are made with two powers instead of one, so that they fully correct the astigmatic prescription caused by having an eye that is shaped more like a rugby ball than a football.
There are also toric lenses on our website that could help patients that have a tendency to dry eyes when wearing contact lenses. For instance, Biofinity Toric has a fantastic reputation in the dry eye community for its ability to naturally re-wet lenses. With modern manufacturing methods and a lot of research, manufacturers have even managed to produce Daily disposable contact lens like Daily Aquacomfort Plus toric, combining the convenience of daily wear, with the ability to correct astigmatism in one lens.
Anyone who struggles with issues like astigmatism should take a closer look at the toric contact lenses we offer. As you'll soon see, we have a great selection of the most up-to-date toric lenses perfect for all eye care customers.
Put Down Your Readers And Pick Up Some Multifocal Lenses
Varifocal (aka multifocal) lenses are the best choice for older patients who struggle with the common visual disorder known as presbyopia. Presbyopia typically affects people after they reach the age of 45 and causes blurred symptoms when reading up-close. This is an area where contact lens manufacturers have invested heavily - as the population of contact lens wearers has grown over the last few decades, the last thing the manufacturers wanted was for these same customers to drop out of contact lens wear, simply because they could no longer read with their contact lenses in - without putting reading glasses on over their contact lenses!
They came up with multifocal contact lenses - which have both the distance and reading powers worked onto the same lens, Technically a difficult problem to solve, but solve it they did. Today, there are many types of multifocal contact lenses for different wearing modes for example Biofinity Multifocal, an exceptional monthly multifocal lens that includes silicone for maximum breathability and comfort, to Daily Multifocal contact lenses like Dailies Aquacomfort Plus Multifocal.
Wearing multifocal contacts is certainly more convenient than lugging around different readers everywhere you go!
Interested in learning more about switching to multifocal contacts? Take a look at the varifocal contacts available on our website.
Due to the complexity of these lenses it is strongly advised to get your first pair fitted at your Optometrists in order to get the powers exactly right. After you have your contact lens prescription, it is easy to buy them online and save money.
For Super Long-Term Use: Vial Lenses
If you really don't enjoy changing your lenses, then have we got the option for you: vial lenses. With proper care, these long-duration lenses could last for a maximum of one-year before you have to throw them away. These were some of the original contact lenses, but now they are mainly used by people who have very high prescriptions, as these lenses can be custom made to go as high as -30D (the average short sighted person is -2D!).
Vial lenses tend to be made with sturdier materials than short-term contacts, which is why they have such impressive longevity. It is important to note that, as these lenses can last up to a year, cleaning them is of crucial importance to maintain clear vision and reduce the chances of discomfort.
People with fantastic contact lens hygiene who want long-duration lenses might enjoy wearing these more rigid lenses. Check out the vial lenses available on our website to get a better sense whether they are good for you.
Change your Brown Eyes to Blue: Coloured Contact Lenses
No matter how much you love your natural eye colour, chances are you've wondered what life would be like with a different pair of irises. Well, wonder no longer; cosmetic lenses are here to add some new colour to your life!
It is now a simple matter to use coloured contact lenses to change your eye colour from, say, green to bright blue using Freshlook Colourblends, or if you have a darker eye colour, like brown, you can use a lens like Freshlook Colors to change it to a striking misty grey or sapphire colour. You will even find Daily Coloured lenses, for the occasional use.

Getting The Most Out Of Your Contacts: Essential Hygiene Tips
No matter how fancy your contact lenses are, they won't do you any good if you have poor lens hygiene. Thankfully, most of the essential contact hygiene tips are pretty straightforward and won't take up too much of your time.
To help new contacts wearers, we have compiled this list of healthful tips sure to decrease your risk of catching eye infections and keeping your lenses comfortable. Putting all of these strategies into place will have a positive impact on your eye health.
How To Properly Put Contacts In Your Eyes
A basic skill every new patient has to master is placing contacts in his/her eyes. Here's a basic rundown of how to safely put in your contacts every day.
• Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and warm water and dry with a lint free clean towel.
• Pick up your first lens using your fingertips and spray it with a few drops of solution.
• After your lens is disinfected, place it right-side up on your dominant hand's index finger.
• Look up and pull your upper eyelid with your non-dominant hand.
• Place the middle finger of your dominant hand under your eye and pull down.
• While either staring straight or looking up, gently drop the lens into your eye.
• Immediately close your eyes and roll your eyes a few times until the lens feels comfortable.
How Do I Take My Contacts Out?
Now that your contacts are snug on your eyes, how exactly do you get them out? Simple! Follow these steps to pull out your contacts like a pro.
• Wash your hands with warm, soapy water and dry with a lint free clean towel.
• If you're using multi-day lenses, then place an adequate amount of solution into your contact lens case.
• Using your non-dominant hand, pull up on your upper eyelid.
• Use the middle finger of your dominant hand to pull down on your lower eyelid.
• With your dominant hand's index finger, pull down on the contact lens towards the right.
• Grab the lens by pinching with your thumb and index finger.
• If you're using a long-term lens, wash it with disinfectant solution and place inside your solution-filled lens case.
Learn "Rub & Rinse" Method
No, "rub & rinse" isn't a new dance craze…at least not that we're aware of. In the contact lens world, "rub & rinse" refers to a standard cleaning technique that's highly successful at getting rid of debris/oils and any microorganism that may be on the lenses..
Thankfully, this technique is extremely easy to learn and practice every day. Here's a brief explanation:
• Wash your hands with warm water and soap then dry off with a lint free clean towel.
• Place a contact lens on your thumb and apply a few drops of solution.
• Gently rub your lens with an index finger either on your thumb or the palm of your hand.
• After about 30 seconds, grab the contact with your thumb and index finger and "rinse" with a good dose of solution.
Where You Should Never Wear Contacts
No matter how hygienic you are, you should never expose your contacts to water or sleep with contact lenses on (unless, of course, they are especially prescribed continuous wear contact lenses). These two scenarios are considered the absolute worst habits to get into, so it's essential to nip them in the bud ASAP.
When we close our eyes during sleep, we deprive our corneas of essential oxygen. Since contacts naturally put a buffer between our corneas and the outside world, this effect is intensified during bedtime. People who wear their contacts to sleep often develop serious corneal issues as well as eye infections. Basically don't do it!
Speaking of eye infections, there's no easier way for viruses, parasites, and bacteria to attach themselves to contact lenses than by exposing lenses to water. Even if you wear protective swimming goggles, there's still a high chance bad microorganisms will leach onto your lenses and cause an infection.
The simple solution to both of these dilemmas is to take lenses out before going to bed, showering, and swimming. Also, only wash your contacts with Optometrist approved disinfectant solution, never tap water.
If you're struggling to take out your lenses every night, then you might want to consider continuous wear lenses approved for nighttime wear. For any competitive swimmers out there, most optometrists recommend investing in prescription goggles rather than wearing contact lenses in the pool.
How Often Should I Replace A Contact Lens Case?
One common question contacts wearers have is how often they should replace their contact lens case. As a general rule of thumb, it's a good idea to change your contact lens case at least once every three months unless you see obvious signs of bacterial or fungal growth.
Using one case for too long will put you at a higher risk of exposing contacts to harmful microorganisms, so it's important to swap out your container at least a few times per year. Of course, if you have further questions, don't hesitate to ask your optometrist about when s/he recommends.
Avoid "Topping Off" Solution
In an attempt to reduce eye care costs, some patients have begun using a "strategy" called "topping off." Basically, this technique refers to placing a bit of new disinfectant in a contact lens container that's already full of solution.
While it might seem like you're saving some cash, "topping off" solution is a very dangerous practice. Instead of strengthening your old solution, the new solution loses its potency once you put it in your case. Of course, this could lead to an increased risk of serious infections.
Please don't be tempted to top off old solution in your lens case. Doctors always recommend getting rid of old disinfectant completely and washing your cases with an adequate amount of new solution every night.
The Dangers Of Eye Rubbing
Whether you wear contacts or not, rubbing your eyes is a terrible habit to get into. Short term, eye-rubbing may relieve dry eye and mild stress, but this nasty habit could cause significant damage to your eyes over time.
The most obvious danger of rubbing your eyes is an increased chance of infection. As you could imagine, it's very easy to pick up debris, oil, or germs from unwashed hands. Those who wear contacts are at an elevated risk of infections anyway, so eye rubbing is really pushing your luck. Always remember - never chop up a chili and then rub your eyes without washing your hands. You will only do it once!
In addition to infection exposure, rubbing your eyes puts a great deal of strain on your cornea and retina. Frequent eye scratching has also been linked to an increased risk of potentially blinding disorders like glaucoma, keratoconus, and corneal ulcers.
So, what are you supposed to do if your eyes are irritating you? Well, for starters, consider looking into the re-wetting drops available on our website. Although there's a risk of developing a dependency with re-wetting drops, this is far less severe than the risks associated with eye rubbing.
Patients who are struggling to break their eye rubbing habit should speak with a certified physician. Your optometrist will probably run a few tests to figure out what's causing your dry eye symptoms and tailor a personalised treatment protocol.
UV Protection For Contacts Wearers
Scientists now know the sun's UV radiation could cause serious damage to a person's eyes. Fortunately, wearing contact lenses reduces your risk as almost all contact lenses now have built in UV filters to reduce harmful UV radiation. A good example is Crystal Aqua Daily that have built in UV filters that block out 70% of UVA and 95% of UVB radiation. Combine these daily lenses with UV blocking sunglasses and you have virtually 100% UV protection.
By the way, it is true that people with lighter coloured eyes sustain more damage from UV radiation. However, recent studies also show people with brown eyes have the highest rates of cataracts. Bottom line: there's no excuse for wearing UV-blocking sunglasses or contact lenses when outside.
Luckily for you, we have a plethora of fashionable UV-blocking sunwear on our website and every contact lens that has a UV block is listed in it's description.
Getting Rid Of A Stuck Contact Lens
Please don't let the fear of contact lenses getting stuck behind your eyes prevent you from trying them out…because it's not true! Yes, contacts could get stuck behind under eyelids, but the clear conjunctiva forms an impenetrable barrier at the back of your eyes that no contact lens could cross. A contact lens simply cannot get lost 'behind your eyes'.
If you happen to get your contact lenses stuck on under your eyelids, or simply find them very hard to remove - usually because they have dried out a little on your eyes, then follow the steps below to easily remove them.
If you try out these methods and aren't able to remove your lens, however, please seek out professional medical attention.
If your lens is stuck in your eye and difficult to remove:If your think your lens is stuck under your eyelid
If you think your lens has broken in your eye and you can't find a piece of it

Today, Mr. Poilievre met with the President of the United States of America, Joe Biden.
Mr. Poilievre welcomed President Biden to Canada on his first state visit since his election as President. Mr. Poilievre and President Biden both noted the historic shared friendship between Canada and the United States.
Mr. Poilievre discussed foreign election interference in Canadian elections, committed to supporting common national defence interests, and to invest in the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) to keep our people safe.
Mr. Poilievre also expressed his desire to end softwood lumber tariffs that hurt both the Canadian and American economies, exempt Canada from "Buy America" rules that drive up costs and drive down wages, and to lift COVID vaccine requirements for Canadians visiting the United States.

I'm just returning from 36 hours with the Coalition of Partners for Europe, as part of the World Health Organisation. There were a further 2 days of conversations to occur, but I needed to get back to Morecambe Bay. I have learned so much during my short time with this amazing group of people, some new things and other things learning at a new depth or from a different perspective. I am again bowled over by how using tools from the Art of Hosting can bring a diverse group of people, across languages and cultures together to have really important conversations. Rather than write this in long paragraphs, I'm simply going to bullet my learnings, some of them personal, some more corporate, some amusing, some difficult. One thing is for sure: I know much less than I thought I knew!
1) Finland is 100 years old this year. It has a fascinating history. They also have one of the best Public Health systems in the world and are huge at tackling the social determinants of health. We have much to learn from them and their Scandinavian neighbours.
2) People LOVE the idea of a Culture of Joy! There is a tiredness to the WHO but a recognition across the board that there is a need for cultural change and that culture determines an enormous amount in terms of how well organisations function. Remember a culture of joy is built on good, honest, open, encouraging, kind, approachable and vulnerable leadership, with team members feeling a) that they belong and are loved/valued b) that they are trusted to do their work and c) they share a strong sense of vision.
3) There is wide recognition that Social Movements are vital if we are going to break down health inequalities and see the health and wellbeing of all people improve. We simply cannot come up with ideas in board rooms and 'do them' to communities. However, there is also fantastic data and learning available to communtities, which can fuel the social movement. Public Health and Primary care must not sit as separate to or aloof from this emerging movement, but must be a key player and protagonist.
4) When dealing with complex systems, it is good to think of them as gardens instead of machines. To whom does the garden of public health belong? Public Health belongs to the public – it is part of the commons. Therefore communities need to be more involved. There are some great examples of community engagement from across Europe. However, we must move from consultancy to co-production and co-design.
5) Helping people live longer at a poorer quality of life is a pointless goal. The league tables and goals we develop must be co-designed with communities. Our markers of health and wellbeing need some reassessment.
6) People everywhere in the Western world are scared of talking about death and this has huge implications for how we spend money in our health systems.
7) Our European history is so fragile. This causes its own complexities when European people meet together – it all comes into the room with us and requires grace and kindness as we communicate. The quality of relationships within the coalition is fantastic, but more time is needed to develop this.
8) When trying to drink a yoghurt in a taxi, it is important to seal your lips around it well, otherwise you spill it all down your front and look like an idiot.
9) Public health and Primary Care are the bedrock of any health system. I knew this already, but the evidence from around the World is staggering. If these two foundation stones fail, and the staff who deliver these services are not cared for, the entire system collapses.
10) The UK has some of the best public health systems of anywhere in the world. However, the world is watching the decimation of our public health services with dismay. The vital role of prevention and protection that public health has must never be underestimated. If we do not invest in prevention, the consequences for the health system is devastating. The reorganisation of Public Health into our county councils has seen profound cuts to the budgets, as councils have removed the ring fenced budgets. This will almost certainly have detrimental consequences, especially when it comes to tackling our most difficult health and wellbeing issues.
11) When people tell you that all saunas are naked, this may not actually be true and you might end up feeling pretty awkward!
12) We have much to learn from other areas and nations. Shared learning is key. We can do this without competition, hierarchy or lording it over each other.
13) Building good relationships is everything.
14) There is a new generation of leaders emerging who are able to deal with complexity, refusing old silos, borders and hierarchies and finding ways to collaborate through good, honest and vulnerable relationships.
15) We need to learn to hold expertise in one hand and humility in the other. The expertise in epidemiology and the mapping of our health and social issues is vital, if we are going to close the health inequality gaps.
16) Public health is dependent on building partnerships. The wider social determinants of health (poverty, housing, adverse childhood experiences, loneliness, education, environmental issues etc) cannot be tackled by the meagre Public Health budgets. Coalition, collaboration and cooperation across many sectors are necessary for us to begin to tackle these hugely complex social justice issues.
17) Due to public health being underfunded, it leaves it wide open to abuse from those who hold the money strings. Lobbies, donors and national governments hold huge power in determining what does and does not receive funding, often despite the evidence.
18) We need leaders who understand the importance of gift economy and making investments into areas which will not serve their ego nor their profile, but will cause huge benefit to many people.
19) Collecting really good data is important. We need to learn to use it well to shape the conversations and change policy and legislation.
20) Public health holds a hugely important voice in calling governments to account for policy decisions that are to the detriment of a nations health. There is now clear evidence that austerity economics is really bad for people's physical and mental health and is actually causing people to die. Theory must be challenged hard when evidence does not support it.
21) The poverty truth commission has so much to teach us. No decision about me, without me is for me. this statement made a profound impact on some of the delegates.
22) Doughnut Economics has caught the attention of the coalition.
23) Fazer chocolate is delicious.
24) One of the most challenging truths I learned is that it is often public health workers and doctors/clinicians working on the front line, who are the biggest barriers to working differently with communities and ironically get in the way of the very thing they would love to see happen. This has more to do with the ways we train people to think and work than anything else.
25) Although my talk went well and was hugely well received, I am learning more about the power of story and how to tell our story more effectively.
26) I am grateful that the coalition of partners does not depend on membership of the EU but I am more aware of the pain that Brexit is causing both for me personally and for many friends across Europe.
I understand that Brexit is happening, but day by day it feels to be one of the worst decisions we have ever made as a nation. It is going to cost us over £50 billion to leave, cause untold issues for our ability to trade, decimate the 3rd sector (which btw is the only thing right now stopping our public services from completely collapsing), undo so much great work built through the partnership of our nations and not deliver on any of the false promises made around extra money for our health system or solve our 'migration issue'. Yes, the EU needs to change, but we have made a monumental error in leaving, rather than reforming it and I still feel we should just apologise and rebuild our bridges rather than burn them.

text: What is the ultimate rebirth and how can we help others' rebirth? Thoughts about conversion 1. Our self-made paths to rebirth. Psychology has diagnosed a number of life phases that can be characterized by fast transformations. They all offer occasions of rebirth. However, we should note that there is no inexhaustible energy behind these honorable efforts. So our rebirth (either self-made or helped by others) remains hopelessly bound to Earth. (If you would like to read more about this, please read my essay here.) 2. The touch of Totality as the start of ultimate rebirth. Thoughts about conversion. The Totality of rebirth requires the touch of God, the acceptance and experience of love of Jesus that transforms our whole lives. This is that inexhaustible energy that provides strength for everything. Conversion is the maximum satisfaction of the most comprehensive sense of mankind's loss and deprivation. Conversion is experiencing the infinity, permanency and faithful love of God. The essence of conversion is not a unique experience but a process of immersing in humility and emptying our own egos, in which man becomes the property of God. Many conversions remain only virtual. Gospels show beautiful examples what are the essential characteristics of conversion and how many different ways it may happen. The protagonist of conversion is God (and not the converted person). That is why conversion is not a matter of will. Conversion is by far not a "free ticket" to eternal life. That is why the word "daily" in the daily conversion of Martin Luther becomes extremely important. There is no justification without conversion. At the same time conversion is not the "result", not the "end" of mercy providing justification, but the path itself going there. (If you would like to read more about this, please read my essay here.) 3. How can we help others' rebirth? The reborn man is charged with new and new energy continuously by his strengthening contact with God. He must pass this energy to other people. The preacher has to see people in the same way as God does: from inside. A man spreading the Gospel helps a love-bridge be built between Jesus and the other person. So he is never allowed to build a wall between himself and the other person but he shares the inexhaustible love of Totality with others. He does not speak "from inside" to outside but with enormous humility he recognizes as the image of Christ becomes visible in the other person, and he makes the other person to notice this in himself. "watching it from the viewpoint of resurrection we may understand that placing the body into the grave, it is not a cold depth of a hole for us any more, but the image of Christ's opened side, a meeting of our fragile humanity with the endless love. Because the grave has become the gate of Paradise since Christ was lying there."

David Byrne and Brian Eno have a new album out, "Everything That Happens Will Happen Today". It's available exclusively through their web site, http://www.everythingthathappens.com/. You can listen to the entire album on their site, or by using their streaming player right below this text.</p>
I've been listening to it while writing this post and it's pretty good. It's a nice mix of Eno's music and Byrne's lyrics and singing.
You can order the album from their website in various formats. They have 320kbps MP3 and FLAC, without any DRM. for $8.99. Yu can also get it as a CD plus the downloadable versions for $11.99. There is a deluxe package for $69.99 with all sorts of stuff for the diehard Byrne and Eno fans. It's cool that they are selling it themselves. If they sold it through a record label on iTunes, they would get a tiny fraction of the $0.99 a song that iTunes charges.
This is their first collaboration since 1978's My Life in the Bush of Ghosts.

What the Heck Is Up With Goose, Captain Marvel's Cat ?
Oh Goose. He's so cute. He's so cuddly. Samuel L. Jackson wants to nuzzle him forever. But if you've seen Captain Marvel, you know there is more to Goose than meets the eye. If you aren't familiar with the Marvel Comics, though, you might not catch exactly what Goose's deal is, or how he does the stuff we see him do in the movie.
The video above, by ScreenCrush's Ryan Arey, will help you out with all of that. It reveals the origins of Goose in the pages of Captain Marvel (where he looks almost identical but has a different name — Chewie!), how exactly he does what he does, and lets you know some of the other cool things Chewie has done in comics, which could be clues about potential sequel storylines for Captain Marvel 2.

In India, the Grand Trunk Road, which was known to the European travelers of the 17th century as �the Long Walk�, starts from Kolkata in the far-east and traverses the breadth of the country through Varanasi to Amritsar via Delhi before entering Pakistan at the Wagah Border. After the reorganization and renaming of the highways in the country, this mighty stretch has been split as National Highways 1 and 2 with Delhi being at the junction. (National Highway 2 links Kolkata with Delhi and National Highway 1 runs from Delhi to Indo-Pak border).
On Pakistani side, 26 km from the dusty town of Atari in India, the Grand Trunk Road crosses the cultural center of Lahore, follows an arc up through Islamabad, over the Indus River to Peshawar. Going ahead, it reaches the capital of Afghanistan, Kabul, after crossing the Khyber Pass.
The foundation of the road dates back to about 2000 years ago during the reign of the Mauryas. Sher Shah re-conceived the Sadak-e-Azam in the 16th century, as it was then called, for military and administrative reasons and to link the remotest provinces in his empire that spread across the subcontinent. It literally bound the subcontinent for centuries and acted as a major commercial link with other parts of the country. During the British rule a slight re-alignment was made in the route between Kolkata and Varanasi, otherwise the road remains the same.
Steeped in history, this road forms a vital link for trade and communication for the social strata that live along this mighty stretch. Even after the partition in 1947, the Grand Trunk Road continues to live in both India and Pakistan, exemplifying the vital importance it attaches with the societies it touch. Huge trees on its sides, which were planted in the good old days, answer the curiosity regarding the origin of the name.
A trip through the Grand Trunk Road provides a running parade of the various facets of India, on the move, from the oil tankers from Assam, the colorful Tata trucks from Punjab, garish and battered buses, all with their horns blown in dissonance to bare foot sadhus, bullock carts and wandering livestock. Taj Mahal, Bodh Gaya, Golden Temple and numerous known and unknown architectural marvels and sacred places that lie along this stretch reassert its prominence. Rudyard Kipling set a major chunk of his novel � Kim, on this road, which he eventually described, as �a river of life such as exists nowhere else in the world�.
The Grand Trunk Road has its route through the states of West Bengal, Jharkhand, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Delhi, Haryana and Punjab. Dhanbad, Allahabad, Kanpur, Agra, New Delhi and Ludhiana are some major cities that lie on this road.
Despite the toggling relations between India and Pakistan, crossing over the border won�t be a problem for the tourist. Given the present political climate, travelers can head to the Afghanistan border at the renowned Khyber Pass, but will probably be unable to go any further; only nationals of the two countries and UN personnel cross over.
In India, now the Grand Trunk Road forms a part of the Golden Quadrilateral Project.

Public infrastructure has long played an instrumental role in the growth of our cities and largely accounts for the observed increase in land values. And yet, our funding mechanisms have failed to tap into this vast source of publicly created wealth, allowing it to be pocketed by private landlords.

Prince Charles Tests Positive for COVID-19
Prince Charles, 71, has tested positive for the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), according to an official statement released by the Royal Family Wednesday (March 25).
"The Prince of Wales has tested positive for coronavirus. He has been displaying mild symptoms and remains otherwise remains in good health and has been working from home throughout the last few days as usual," Clarence House said in a statement.
At this time, the Prince of Wales, who is heir to the British throne, is self-isolating in Scotland alongside his wife, Camilla Parker Bowles, a.k.a. the Duchess of Cornwall.
She was also tested, but was reportedly found to not currently have the virus.
Officials say the Queen, however, remains in "good health" and is following "all appropriate advice with regard to her welfare."
A palace spokesperson told CNN that Princes Charles and the Queen last interacted on March 12.

More on the 'Revolutionary Year'
Ukraine – what you're not told
16th March 1968 – My Lai Massacre
Just after dawn on the morning of 16th March 1968, when the peasants were starting off to tend their paddies and the children were starting to have their breakfast, the quiet of the spring morning was broken by the arrival of US helicopters firing into people's homes. This was soon followed by the arrival of troop carrying helicopters who also started to fire indiscriminately at anything that moved. Four hours later, by the end of this 'military action' 504 Vietnamese civilians were killed and soon after a village structure that had existed for hundreds of years was wiped out. The Vietnamese knew this group of villages as Song My, the rest of the world, when the news finally broke 18 months later, were to know the site of this massacre as My Lai.
Earlier that year the US invading forces and their South Vietnamese lackeys had been taken by surprise by the Tet Offensive. This began on the night of the 29/30th January when units of the Vietnamese People's Army (from the North Vietnam) and guerrilla units of the National Liberation Front (the NLF from the South) simultaneously attacked numerous military bases and cities in the south of the country, even coming out of the ground in the middle of Da Nang, the principal close to the border with the People's Republic of the North.
The action didn't achieve any lasting military objectives but the very fact that it could have been organised on such a scale in the first place started to create the realisation amongst the American imperialists that they wouldn't be able to win the war. It would be another seven years before the panic-stricken Yankees and their hangers-on (literally as the last helicopters took off) fought tooth and nail against each other to get on the last helicopters from the roof of the American Embassy in Saigon as North Vietnamese tanks crashed through the compound gates.
But like a wounded animal, knowing it is about to die, the Americans lashed out with the aim of causing as much damage and suffering as possible. The cost of defeating the most powerful military nation on the earth would have to be paid for at a high price.
The area which encompassed Song My was considered to be more than just sympathetic to the NLF and was known by the Americans as 'Pinkville'. The guerrilla units in the south followed the military principals of People's War, developed by Mao Tse-tung in China in the war, first, against the Japanese Fascist invaders and then the reactionary, Western Imperialist supported, Nationalist Kuomintang.
Mao coined the phrase of the guerrilla army 'swimming like fish amongst the people' and the Vietnamese followed this lesson well. However, not only do revolutionaries learn from the experience of those who have gone before them. Reactionaries also learnt and decided that if the revolutionaries were swimming amongst the people then they would deny them the water. The fact that many innocent people would bear the cost of this approach wasn't (and still isn't – witness what has happened in the last 14 years with the imperialist wars of intervention in Afghanistan, Iraq and other countries of the Middle East) of concern to the American commanders in Vietnam nor their political masters in Washington. As far as they were concerned ALL the 'gooks' (their racist term for the Vietnamese) were guilty, if not for crimes of commission then for crimes of omission, even babies only a matter of a few weeks old or those yet to be born.
It's difficult to imagine what went through the minds of those soldiers who carried out the massacre that covered three separate hamlets in Song My. There were no reports whatsoever that these brave troops came under any sort of enemy fire. In fact there was only one casualty amongst the G.I.s – and his wound was self-inflicted in an effort not to indulge in the blood lust.
Most of the troops involved were relatively new to the country and therefore couldn't really argue that they were battle weary and bitter from what they had seen happen to their fellow conscripts – although I have heard one soldier argue that case. Neither could they use the excuse given in Northern Ireland by the British Paratroopers after the murder of Irish Republican demonstrators on 'Bloody Sunday' in 1972 when one reason given for them opening fire was that these 'elite' troops were frightened by being shot at.
The majority of US troops in Vietnam by this time of the war were conscripts. The majority of them were in their late teens or early twenties. The majority of them were from poor, working class backgrounds. A disproportionate number of them were poor working class black Americans (in a tableau in the My Lai museum they are given equal status to the whites in killing women and children), living in a society that was even more racist and segregationist than it is now. Yet these working class boys, under the orders of officers with little more stake in US society than the soldiers under their command, just went wild.
Shooting at everything that moved, regardless of age or gender; burning of buildings, sometimes with people inside alive; destroying all foodstuffs including domesticated animals; trapping people in confined spaces and then throwing in fragmentation grenades; gang raping of the women regardless of age and even those in late stages of pregnancy; killing babies only a few weeks old; mutilating the bodies of their victims including cutting out tongues, cutting off hands, disembowelment and taking scalps; pulling out unborn foetuses from pregnant women; shooting the wounded if they made the mistake of lettering their murderers know they were still alive; this orgy of death and destruction went on for hours until they had killed all that they thought was alive.
There was little evidence of any of the soldiers making any effort to put a stop to all this or to try to bring some element of civilisation back into their mission – although a few are said to have 'not participated' (but that begs questions about crimes of commission or omission). Apart from one exception. The three-man crew of one of the support helicopters put their machine between a group of G.I.'s and their intended victims. Whilst the gunner held his heavy machine gun on soldiers from his own side a handful of villagers were able to be escape the mayhem. One of the helicopter crew was killed soon after (in combat) but the two that survived were invited to the thirtieth anniversary commemoration at the Quang Ngai General Museum in 1998.
Even though the trials at Nuremberg (after World War Two) had, supposedly, rejected the argument of 'just obeying orders' as being no excuse or vindication for committing such atrocities this was the case put by many of those who attended (many didn't) the Peers Commission that was set up more than 18 months after the event. Whatever orders might have been given that doesn't excuse what these teenagers did, many of them going way above and beyond the 'call of duty', their obvious enjoyment of the opportunity to kill and maim with impunity being proof of that.
(This wasn't the first time American soldiers had been given orders by their officers and then executing them with a gusto that bordered on fanaticism. On November 29th 1864 the American army carried out a similar massacre against, mainly, unarmed Cheyenne and Arapaho at Sand Creek in Colorado. The film 'Soldier Blue', released in 1970, making a clear parallel between the two events separated by just under a hundred years.)
So those who actually did the killing have no excuse (and shouldn't be excused) but what were their orders? The same that had been given to other units before them, that is to go out and 'search and destroy' in what was designated as a 'free fire zone'. This gave a virtual carte blanche for the soldiers to do whatever they wished and they would not be held responsible. This had been happening throughout the country for a number of years causing widespread devastation, through acts of the military on the ground, artillery bombardments, the widespread use of napalm and defoliation with chemicals such as Agent Orange. Therefore the idea of a 'free fire zone' was basically part of the philosophy of the American military and this would have been known by even such rookie troops as those that were sent into the Song My area.
At the same time the military did not act totally under their own volition and were under the control of the politicians in Washington. Even if the rest of the world wasn't aware of what was happening in Vietnam those in the White House and the Pentagon certainly did. And the fact that the very villages were bulldozed soon after the massacre indicates that the commanders in the field knew that things had gone slightly to far.
So what made the My Lai Massacre different? It seems that news of what had happened was circulating very soon after the event. Although the murder of civilians and the destruction of their homes wasn't new at Song My the Americans had taken their task of murder into a new league and it would have been impossible to have completely suppressed the news. At the same time the military would have wanted this news to have spread throughout the south of Vietnam as a warning, threat and promise to those Vietnamese who supported the NLF and the North Vietnamese.
The reports and letters that went around, both the military structure in Vietnam and the offices of politicians and newspapers in the United States were only words. By 1968 it was images that were to make the difference. Anyone who was of an age to watch and understand the TV images being shown everyday throughout the world in the late 60s and early 70's will understand the importance of images. TV news programmes showed, daily, American wounded and dead being collected from the battlefield as well as the scenes played out on the streets of Saigon (such the summary execution by a bullet to the head of a Vietnamese guerrilla or the self-immolation of a Buddhist monk). The power of those images is the reason why, ever since, photographers and journalists are 'embedded' – read controlled – by the US, UK or NATO armies.
Ron Haeberle, an army photographer, had only just started his tour of duty when he was sent to Song My. Although not believing what he saw he continued to take photos during the morning. After the massacre he handed in 40 black and white pictures to the military but kept 18 in colour. It was those pictures which were to make the written reports even more potent.
Wisely, for self-preservation reasons, Haeberle didn't release those pictures until he had returned from Vietnam – war zones are very easy places to get yourself killed. Even though the extent of the furore after the release of his photographs was worldwide, to the best of my knowledge none of the other pictures he took that spring morning have ever been made public. However, it's difficult to believe that any other pictures would tell us much more about what happened. The suppression, or destruction of his other pictures only goes to demonstrate the lack of openness of governments when caught out doing the direct opposite to what they say. (Most of the pictures on this page are from among those Haeberle kept to himself for the best part of 18 months.)
The Report of the Peers investigation set up when the news of the massacre was too widespread to be ignored seemed to give the impression that this was a 'one off', an aberration and not a matter of policy. However, the widespread deployment of 'search and destroy' missions, the 'Strategic Hamlet Programme' – whereby villagers were gathered together in virtual concentration camps in order to make contact between the ordinary peasants and the guerrillas that much more difficult – and the designation of huge swathes of the country as being 'free fire zones' meant that the lives of the Vietnamese people held no value in the minds of the occupation forces.
Atrocities carried out by the Americans and the South Vietnamese Army were not new, only the scale was different. Eighteen months before My Lai the Democratic Republic of Vietnam had produced a pamphlet, with photographs, of examples of war crimes committed by US troops and at about the time of the My Lai Massacre they produced evidence (presented to Bertrand Russell International Tribunal) claiming genocide on the part of the Americans. There's no significant difference between the pictures in these pamphlets from those of Haeberle taken in March 1968.
After all the fuss, all the publicity, all the demonstrations on the streets throughout the world, all the words spoken, all the investigations carried out, all the crocodile tears of politicians, no one was held accountable for what happened at Song My/My Lai. A junior officer (Calley) was chosen as a scapegoat (which doesn't mean him any less culpable) and found guilty but later given a Presidential pardon by Richard Nixon. The Peers investigation report was even told not to refer to it as a massacre and described it as an 'incident'. Ultimately no one was held responsible.
And nothing has really changed in the policies of the American nor any other country that considers it has the right to enter in the internal affairs of another country. My Lai wasn't the first of such massacres, neither was it the last.
For a period after defeat in Vietnam the US 'sub-contracted' the killing of innocent villagers, although really the concept of 'innocence' seems now to have been lost. In Latin America the fascist, right-wing murder squads ran amok throughout the 70s and 80s from Mexico down to the Tierra del Fuego. If these killers needed training they received that at the 'anti-communist insurgency' School of the Americas at Fort Benning. To keep their eye in the US invaded Granada and Panama, on both occasions civilians got in the way.
In the Middle East surrogates kept their populations quiet with the use of terror. Some of these lost the support of the US and have fallen. Others still carry out the will of the US although they would maintain they are independent nations. Sometimes things don't need to be said for them to happen. Israel continues to murder Palestinians and destroy their homes. Indeed Israel was in the game of massacres before it was even established as a state, killing indiscriminately Palestinians in the village of Deir Yassin on 9th April 1948. The Zionists then sub-contracted the killing to the Christian militia in Lebanon and over two days in September 1982 they murdered thousands in the refugee camps of Sabra and Shatila.
Since the beginning of the 21st century the US has again got more directly involved and thousands have been killed in Afghanistan, Iraq and other countries of the Middle East following western government attempts at 'regime change'. The Americans, and their allies, got around the embarrassment of large numbers of civilians being killed by not actually counting them, as they did in Fallujah.
And presently in India, the present and previous governments, since 2009, have been pursuing what they call 'Operation Green Hunt' against the dalits and adivasis (the ethnic and tribal groups) who in some of the most mineral rich areas of the country. However, in India the people are not just accepting this and are fighting back under the leadership of the Communist Party of India (Maoist).
If people thought that the massacre at My Lai was an aberration they should think again.
The voices of those who killed
On the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the massacre in 2008 the BBC's Radio Four broadcast a programme in its Archive Hour slot which includes interviews with some of those involved in the murderous attack. Personally, I don't have any sympathy whatsoever for those young soldiers who have subsequently suffered from Post-traumatic Stress Disorder for what they did that day so long ago.
Here is a recording of that programme, entitled The My Lai Tapes is presented in two parts, Part 1, Part 2.

If you were out on a boat along the southern coast of Vancouver Island this past weekend, you may have noticed more black and white fins breaching the waves than usual.
Nearly 30 different Bigg's orca whales were spotted over Labour Day weekend in the Salish Sea, the Pacific Whale Watch Association reported Sept. 8.
This news follows a recent report from Washington-based research organization Orca Behavior Institute that the Bigg's classification of killer whales has set a new record for annual sightings in the region.
As of Monday, 793 unique sightings of the whale had been recorded off the coast. The institute's previous record of 747 sightings was set in 2019.
In the association's report, Paul Pudwell, of Sooke Coastal Explorations, said he saw seven different families of Bigg's orcas in a single three-hour whale watching trip on Sept. 5. The overwhelming number of sightings was a first for him, he said.
"I've never seen so many Bigg's at once. It was a special day."
Killer whales are identified using markings on their dorsal fins and backs, and classified into types by appearance, diet, social structure and coastal range.
Unlike southern resident orcas – which primarily eat Chinook salmon – Bigg's orcas hunt seals, sea lions and porpoises.
With over 130 calves born over the last decade, the Bigg's whale population has grown by more than four per cent. This is largely due to the abundance of food sources they enjoy.
The salmon-eating southern resident killer whale population, which has fewer options for prey is a concern to researchers. Since April, the endangered whale group has only been spotted a handful of times.
"The contrast in health between these two orca populations is striking," said association executive director Erin Gless. "Bigg's prove that killer whales can thrive in this region, so long as there is food."
Southern resident orcas from J Pod were spotted in Puget Sound on Tuesday (Sept. 7), and Bigg's killer whales were seen among the San Juan Islands the same day.

Albert Precht
«Albert Precht, born 1947 in Bischofshofen, Austria, was a guard of the Austrian railways and a mountain guide. He is a lifelong mountaineer with over one thousand first ascents of bold climbing routes. Albert Precht is a leading pioneer and representative of free climbing in the cleanest style. His first ascents and solo climbs include rock faces of up to 1200 metres, always established from below with minimal use of pitons and removable protection. He thus left the mountain environment as clean as possible.
His routes in the Alps, Norway, Corsica, Crete, Jordan and Oman have established his place in the history of mountaineering. Precht is the author of guide books and numerous articles in alpine journals, newspapers and books. He has written the autobiography «Tausendundein Weg» (2003).»

Meanwhile, the clitoral stimulator caresses your love bead with sensual pressure wave stimulation. The round silicone attachment encircles your clitoris as you are brought to a touch-free climax. This gives you a sensation similar to that of oral stimulation: rapid change between suction and pressure is available in 11 intensities - simply use the intuitive controls to switch up and down between settings. A third button controls the vibration setting, enabling countless seductive combinations of settings. The Satisfyer Pro G-Spot is also extremely quiet, although it may well coax a few noises out of you! The waterproof finish means that it is also the ideal bathing companion, inviting you to enjoy sensual pleasures in the shower or bath.
The exchangeable, skin-friendly silicone attachment for this Satisfyer model is handy and round. The frictionless surface of the ring snugly and artfully encircles your love bead. Intensify your pleasure sensations even further by using a water-based lubricant. The integrated rechargeable battery in the Satisfyer Pro G-Spot Rabbit offers environmentally friendly recharging. If you want to charge your toy via a mains plug, the magnetic USB cable (included) can be supplemented with a standard 5V plug. The skin-friendly silicone is extremely easy to clean.
