Christmastime bears a handful of undisputed trademarks: Hot chocolate. Colorful lights. Bath & Body Works sales. And, of course, holiday movies.
Sure, you've got your standard Christmas cinema fare—Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, Elf, A Christmas Story, Home Alone, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, etc.—but what is there for those of us who enjoy a healthy dose of chaos and creeps with our holiday cheer?
Between all the twinkling lights and candy canes and carols, there's nothing quite as wonderful as curling up all cozy in front of the television and putting on a horror movie or a dark comedy this time of year.
From Scrooged to Gremlins to Black Christmas, unwrap some of the creepiest, scariest and darkest holiday movies this side of the North Pole, below.

And how's that working out for them?
10 shot, including 4 teens, Friday afternoon and night
Shootings across the city Friday afternoon and night wounded at least ten people, according to Chicago police, including four teens in three separate South and West side attacks.
Someone shot two boys, both 16, about 5:11 p.m. Friday afternoon in the 1700 block of East 71st Place in the South Shore neighborhood on the South Side. Both were taken to Comer Children's Hospital in stable condition with gunshot wounds to their legs.
Two other teens were wounded Friday afternoon -- a 15-year-old near North Avenue and Lorel Avenue in the Austin neighborhood and a 16-year-old near Western Avenue and Taylor Street in the Lawndale neighborhood...
How much of the violence in Chicago that occurs each night is authored by kids without fathers?
That's the question we should be asking. Only that question won't be asked and it won't be answered, because it indicts the Democrat Party's failed policies on a monumental scale.
How many dead, crippled and imprisoned inner-city youths has "Great Society" left in its wake? Tens of thousands? Hundreds of thousands? Millions?
How many have died thanks to "the War on Drugs", "the War on Guns", and "the War on Poverty"? And how many more must die before we reverse course on the Democrats' failed welfare state policies and their catastrophic impact on the two-parent family?

Don't let mistakes undermine your business. Land surveyor insurance may help.
The risks land surveyors are commonly up against.
Your role as a land surveyor involves determining the legal boundaries, mapping out the infrastructure, and identifying the slopes and topography of the land. The accuracy of your work is what your clients rely on, and if you make an error, it can cost them money and potentially property, all of which can result in a lawsuit. For example, if you survey land for a client and they get into a dispute with a neighbor regarding the boundaries of their property, your work could come into question. Or if your survey results fail to include accurate topography measurements, it could cause problems or delays with the construction of a building. Here are some additional risks your policy should protect you from:
- Auto Accidents
- Breach of Duty
- Errors and Omissions
- Lawsuits
- Negligence
- Personal Injury
- Property Damage
How land surveyor insurance can protect your business.
When it comes to working for a client, there is a chance that they might file a lawsuit if they believe the work you've done is not accurate. Whether or not it's a valid claim, it still must be defended. That's where having professional liability and errors and omissions insurance (E&O) may help protect your business. Another example involves your employees. If they become injured on a job site, having workers' compensation insurance may help cover the costs associated with their injuries. And one added benefit of having insurance coverage is that it can build credibility with clients if they know you have it.
What impacts the type of insurance needed for land surveyors?
Everything from the size of your business operations to the locations you work in determines the type of insurance coverage you need. Equipment, property, vehicles, employees, and other factors all play a role in what coverage options your land surveying business might require. Where you operate can also dictate which coverages are required by law. And the scale of your business and clientele can make a difference, whether you focus on residential projects or commercial ones.
The business side of land surveying.
When you operate a land surveying business, there are insurance coverages that are essential for businesses of all types. This includes things like general liability insurance to cover your property, as well as business auto insurance, which offers protection in the event that a vehicle used for business purposes is involved in an accident. In addition, a business owners insurance policy (BOP) combines commercial liability and commercial property under a single policy. Cyber liability insurance is also important to consider to help protect you in the event of a data breach.

There's a private Facebook group with nearly 8,000 members called Conservatives Moving to Texas. Three of them are sitting at a dinner table — munching on barbecue weenies and brownies — in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex. None are vaxxed.
And they love it here.
"As soon as I drove into Texas, literally, as soon as I could get into the state and stop at my first truck stop for gas it was, like, 'This is wonderful,' " says Lynn Seeden, a 59-year-old portrait photographer from Orange County, Calif.
"People weren't wearing masks — nobody cared. It's kind of like heaven on earth."
She says when the state of California forced her to close her photography studio over COVID-19 restrictions, she and her husband, a retired newspaper editor, knew it was time to "escape."
America is growing more geographically polarized — red ZIP codes are getting redder and blue ZIP codes are becoming bluer. People appear to be sorting.
"We felt very out of place and very uncomfortable at times," says Tiffany Wooten, a 43-year-old stay-at-home mom whose family recently relocated from conservative Indiana to liberal Austin. "We were looking at blue cities because we wanted to be with our own people."
The trend seems to be quickening as conservatives flee places with strict COVID-19 rules.
Karen Bates, a 52-year-old mortgage executive, moved to the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area with her family last year from Puerto Rico. She says the island's government was going to force her teenaged daughter, who has Type 1 diabetes, to get vaccinated against the coronavirus. She now attends a Christian school.
"She's not had to wear a mask," Bates says. "She doesn't have to get vaccinated. She's thriving on the tennis team, making straight A's. I love the freedom of [vaccine] choice in Texas."
In the modern era, Texas has fashioned itself into a sort-of breakaway red-meat republic — banning books and restricting abortion, blocking mask mandates, and building its own border fence. It retains this national image in spite of the fact that its five largest counties went for President Biden.
But more and more Trump followers are flocking to red Texas in search of the promised land.
"People are asking, 'Tell me about the most conservative towns. Where should I be moving?' " says Seeden, of the people who post comments on the Conservatives Moving to Texas page.
Americans have been 'sorting' politically for years
The national real estate brokerage, Redfin, predicted that in 2022, "people will vote with their feet, moving to places that align with their politics."
It's actually been happening for some time.
Residents have been fleeing states like California with high taxes, expensive real estate and school mask mandates and heading to conservative strongholds like Idaho, Tennessee and Texas.
More than one of every 10 people moving to Texas during the pandemic was from California, according to the Texas Real Estate Research Center at Texas A&M University. Most came from Southern California. Florida was the second biggest contributor of new Texans.
Family therapist and conservative activist Dr. Bridget Melson, 52, is a new Texan.
Six years ago, when Melson and her family decided to leave Riverside County, Calif., for the Lone Star State, they were methodical.
"We want our medical freedoms. We want our constitutional rights. We are definitely pro-life," says Melson, who created the Facebook group. "We looked where the red counties were. We knew Austin was going to be a lost cause, and so we knew we didn't want to be there. And we really wanted to have decent weather and the least amount of bugs, so we figured the Metroplex."
Melson asked some friends to join her for interviews with NPR in her fashionable home in a posh rural subdivision with its own equestrian center. She sits on the Bartonville Town Council and is running for mayor. She maintains that Republicans migrating from blue states are the most militant about stopping creeping liberalism.
"People used to come up to me and say, 'Don't California my Texas.' But we're the damn cavalry! We're here to save you. Because we know what's going to happen. And if we don't run for office, get involved in school boards, and pay attention and get out and vote, then you're gonna California Texas."
'The Big Sort' may be making Americans more politically extreme
While schools, crime, real estate prices and quality of life are still major considerations for folks who are moving, finding an area with shared political views is key.
Political scientist Larry Sabato posted an analysis on Thursday that shows how America's "super landslide" counties have grown over time.
Of the nation's total 3,143 counties, the number of super landslide counties — where a presidential candidate won at least 80% of the vote — has jumped from 6% in 2004 to 22% in 2020.
"Trump's blowouts were concentrated in white, rural counties in the Greater South, Interior West, and Great Plains," Sabato writes, "while Biden's were in a smattering of big cities, college towns, and smaller counties with large percentages of heavily Democratic nonwhite voters."
Put another way, Biden won 85% of counties with a Whole Foods and only 32% of counties with a Cracker Barrel.
What are the implications of people clustering in Sean Hannity's America, or Rachel Maddow's?
"Groups of like-minded people tend to become more extreme over time in the way that they're like-minded," says Bill Bishop, a journalist who wrote the influential book The Big Sort: Why the Clustering of Like-Minded America is Tearing Us Apart in 2008.
Bishop's book explains how Americans sorted themselves by politics, geography, lifestyle and economics over the preceding three decades. Sitting in a Central Texas café, Bishop says that trend has only intensified in the 14 years since the book's publication.
"They are still sorting themselves in ways that end up that places are increasingly Republican or increasingly Democratic," he says. "Then you can see that playing out in Congress. There are fewer people in the middle. And so politics becomes less about solving our problems anymore. It's about cheering for our side. And so we're stuck."
Yet while social scientists and journalists may fret over this political segregation, for the people changing ZIP codes to be with their own tribe, it's a kind of deliverance.
Moving to areas with people you agree with has advantages
The Wooten family moved to Austin last spring from Greenfield, Ind. — a suburb of Indianapolis. They're renting an apartment in Central Austin with a view of Lady Bird Lake. They bought stand-up paddleboards for the lake and take hikes along the trails in and around the city .
"Indiana's a red state as it is, but Greenfield is also very red," says Tiffany Wooten. "We as Democrats felt very out of place. If people in public were talking about politics it was always a Trump view. We heard 'Those damn liberals' a lot."
She says during the Trump years, it seems like people became more antagonistic toward them for being Democrats. She even fell out with some of her own family of conservative Christians over their support for the former president. And her 18-year-old son, Cole, says his politics ran counter to the kids at his high school, who were MAGA fans like their parents.
"Some of 'em would even have Trump meetups," he says. "They would all bring their Trump flags and then just preach to each other about how great he was. It was just a really threatening atmosphere."
One afternoon, they discovered someone had put broken glass in their mailbox.
"Yeah, we were open to moving, but Texas is a really red state," Tiffany says. "Still, I was thinking in my mind, 'How much worse can it get? We're in Indiana.' "
Fortunately for them, husband Nate, a construction executive, landed a new job in Austin. The Texas state capital is known for its liberal politics — the blueberry, as they say, in the red cherry pie.
"We feel good here, we feel safe here," Tiffany says.
In fact, the COVID-19 protocols that drove some Californians to escape to North Texas are a plus for the Wootens in Austin.
"It does feel like people take (mask wearing) more seriously here than they did in Greenfield," says Nate Wooten. "Just being considerate of other people. Even if you're vaccinated and you go somewhere, still wear a mask."
What a difference a new city makes. Twelve-year-old Mya Wooten is taking a social justice class at her private school in downtown Austin, an opportunity they would not have found in Greenfield. Mya says a recent assignment was to pick an issue to protest.
"It was ocean pollution, women's rights, or LGBTQ rights," she says. "So my topic was women's rights, and I made a poster of an open woman's mouth and it said, 'I have the right to be heard.' "
By moving to Austin, the Wootens joined The Big Sort. They made Greenfield a tad less purple, and Austin a smidgeon bluer. Tiffany sometimes wonders if they've done the right thing.
"I'm not sure that it's super healthy for us to be completely putting ourselves in a box and saying, 'I'm gonna be with the blue people because they think exactly like me.' We need to be able to communicate with each other even if we do not fully agree with each other."
The Wootens miss having their ideas challenged and engaging with the other side. On the other hand, she says, "We feel among our people in Austin."

Cosmetic items
" | Throughout history, men have worn hats as a way of asserting dominance over other men. "I buy hats," a behatted man seems to say. "I am better than you."
In wartime, hats were a useful way of conferring rank, and ensuring that casualties were confined to the lower classes (hence the famous command of "Don't fire till you see the tops of their heads" at the Battle of Bunker Hill by William Prescott, a general renowned for only shooting enemy combatants who were poor). During peacetime, hats have been instrumental for men to let the non-hatted know just who is wearing the hat around here.
" |
Cosmetic items (previously known as hats and miscellaneous items, or miscs) are items that can be equipped in any one of the three cosmetic slots in the loadout screen. Valve introduced the first set of nine cosmetics in the Sniper vs. Spy Update, with one hat for each class. The nine hats introduced were the Batter's Helmet for Scout, the Soldier's Stash for Soldier, the Pyro's Beanie for Pyro, the Demoman's Fro for Demoman, the Football Helmet for Heavy, the Mining Light for Engineer, the Prussian Pickelhaube for Medic, the Trophy Belt for Sniper and the Fancy Fedora for Spy. Several updates have since added additional cosmetics, including those designed and submitted by members of the Team Fortress 2 community through the Steam Workshop or the former contribution page on the TF2 Official Website.
There are currently a total of 1844 cosmetic items. 58 can be obtained in Vintage quality, 306 can be obtained in Strange quality, 299 can be obtained in Genuine quality (see item quality distribution), 222 can be obtained in Collector's quality, and 1275 of the cosmetics can be painted 29 colors using different Paint Cans.
While most cosmetics can be obtained through crafting, the item drop system, or bought from the Mann Co. Store, some cosmetics are only available to players via other means. Some cosmetics can only be obtained by completing in-game achievements. Others have been added as promotions for various Steam games, events in the Steam Store, third-party websites, and merchandise. While it is possible to obtain most of these cosmetics via trading, there is no option to purchase them from the Mann Co. Store (aside from those released with Total War: SHOGUN 2, Deus Ex: Human Revolution, and the QUAKECON Pack). Only players with the premium account type can receive cosmetics randomly through the item drop system.
With the release of the Mann-Conomy Update, Unusual quality versions of certain cosmetics have a less than 1% chance chance of being "uncrated" when the player opens a Mann Co. Supply Crate.[1] Unusual quality cosmetics appear identical to their Unique counterparts except for the addition of 1 of 86 unusual particle effects. Effects are chosen at random from applicable groups (certain effects are only obtainable during special events) when the cosmetic item is obtained.
Cosmetics do not affect gameplay, spare the psychology of players. The Horseless Headless Horsemann's Head and the Saxton Hale Mask are rare exceptions, making the wearer immune to the Horseless Headless Horsemann's Boo taunt when equipped. Additionally, several cosmetic items make sounds, potentially revealing the location of the wearer and making them more noticeable. Several cosmetic items provide an additional (cosmetic) effect, such as replacing voice lines or playing certain sounds when taunting. With the release of the July 10, 2013 Patch, item sets from the Polycount Pack (with the exception of The Saharan Spy set, which adds custom particle effects while taunting) now only provide a visual cosmetic grave marker upon killing enemies.
Some cosmetics have holiday or event restrictions, meaning they cannot be seen (except in the loadout menu) outside the period of a holiday or event. Additionally, Pyroland items can only be seen by yourself and other players who wear item(s) that enable Pyrovision. Spectating a player that has a Pyrovision item equipped (with the "When spectating, view the world from the eyes of a Pyro" setting enabled in Advanced Options) also makes other Pyroland items visible.
On January 10th, 2013, a blog post announced that after January 24th, 2013, the original nine hats added in the Sniper vs. Spy Update would be retired, making them unobtainable through crafting, random drops, Mann Co. Supply Crates (in Unusual quality only) or the Mann Co. Store after January 24th. The only source left untouched were existing Mann Co. Supply Crates that had any retired hats listed as a possible reward from unboxing.
On December 20th, 2013, the "Head" and "Misc" slots for player loadouts were merged to form "Cosmetic" loadout slots. All items that were previously Head- or Misc-slot-specific could then be equipped in any Cosmetic-slot.

- When changing classes, the previous class's cosmetics may stay visually equipped and take priority over the changed-to cosmetics.
- Due to a glitch involving high latency, players may equip multiple cosmetics that cannot be normally equipped together.
- This can also be performed by leaving the cosmetic slots empty, disconnecting the internet (if possible), returning and selecting the cosmetics the user wants to combine and reconnects, the player will have their selection. However, if the player dies or touches a resupply, they will return to normal. This is due to the item server only losing connection after 10 seconds, so the player can trick the item server to apply cosmetics selected, not by confliction.
- When another player dies, there is a chance their hat will fall out of the ceiling or the floor.
- Some hats may be positioned wrong during the Sniper's melee taunt animation.
- On the History page on the official website and the Mac Update page, Valve refers to Team Fortress 2 as "America's #1 war-themed hat simulator", based on comments that the hats receive more attention than the gameplay itself.[2][3]
- The Trophy Belt and Football Helmet were first seen in Meet the Spy prior to the official Sniper vs. Spy Update.
Unused content
- A crafting recipe exists for smelting three Miscellaneous items into Scrap Metal in the game files. This recipe was once used when the only craftable miscellaneous item yet released was the Camera Beard, which dropped at the same rate as normal weapons. The recipe is currently disabled in-game.
- An unused Scout cosmetic named Bonk'n'Flash that was planned to be released on the Mann-Conomy Update was discarded due to copyright concerns.
- An unused Scout cosmetic named Bullseye's Head (which was the head of Bullseye from Monday Night Combat) was discarded because it was too large and visually disruptive.
- An unused Soldier cosmetic named Legionaire's Lid was added into the game files during the Mann-Conomy Update, but never actually appeared in the game.
- An unused Pyro cosmetic named Mummy Eyes was added into the game files during Scream Fortress 2013. It could be seen in the Halloween 2013 Community Bundle icon for a short time before it was removed.

Spin-orbit torque (SOT) arising from spin-orbit coupling has gained much attention because it promises efficient magnetization switching in spintronic devices [1]. However, the switching is not purely electrical in laterally homogeneous structures. An extra in-plane magnetic field is required to achieve deterministic switching, and this is detrimental for device applications. Therefore, it is of crucial importance to find a way of field-free SOT switching of perpendicular magnetization along with reducing the switching current density for the widespread application of SOT technology.
In this talk, I first present various SOT materials which efficiently generated spin currents and associated SOTs to reduce field-free switching current [2]. Then, I will also show SOT-based spintronic devices such as MRAM-based process-in-memory [3] and physically unclonable functions (PUF) [4].

October 23, 2012,
I never thought I'd see the day. Two years since the HIRE Act, FATCA, and Dodd-Frank became law and threw global finance into a tailspin, two foreign banks have finally stood up to Uncle Sam. Let's review briefly.
The HIRE Act was originally drafted in the early days of the post-Lehman crisis. Official unemployment (before they just stopped counting people) was the highest in decades, and politicians had to 'do something' to get the economy moving.
Of course, what better way to boost the economy than to pass more laws? It's genius!
HIRE ended up being a bunch of bizarre tax rules and pet infrastructure projects… the usual stuff. Of course, they have to pretend to pay for all of this. So they invented FATCA, which stands for 'Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act'.
In short, FATCA requires-
(1) All US taxpayers must annually disclose foreign financial accounts to the IRS if the values exceed a particular threshold (starting at $50,000). This requirement began last year.
(2) All foreign banks must enter into a blanket information sharing agreement with the IRS. If they don't, the banks are subject to a 30% withholding penalty on US-sourced funds.
Then there's the Dodd-Frank legislation… over 2,000 pages of unmitigated economic destruction which makes it tremendously difficult for foreigners to do business in the United States, or with US citizens.
The rules which were proposed in Dodd-Frank are so obtusely complicated, nobody can begin to understand them. Even the agencies which are responsible for implementing Dodd-Frank have continually missed their own deadlines because they don't understand the law.
Bottom line, it's more reporting, more registration, more paperwork, more hassle.
Understandably, foreign banks have been in turmoil over the last two years as a result of all this legislation. Nobody wants to crawl in bed with the US government, and some banks have taken action by shuttering US citizens' accounts. Americans are even being dumped from foreign corporate boards.
Yet just yesterday, DBS Bank in Singapore stood up to the US government, indicating that they would not be registering with US authorities for at least for one Dodd Frank provision pertaining to swaps. Nordea Bank in Sweden made a similar statement.
This is an interesting turn of events which could evidence a bigger trend.
We've already been seeing signs that US financial influence is waning. The dollar is being slowly displaced in international markets. Countries around the world are starting to increase their reserves of China's renminbi, as well as accept renminbi in international trade settlements.
We've also seen foreign companies like McDonalds issuing debt denominated in renminbi, the launching of renminbi-denominated commodity futures contracts, and the trading of renminbi assets in foreign exchanges.
All of that used to be dominated by the dollar. But now the dollar's share is gradually fading.
If more banks follow DBS and Nordea in standing up to the US government, it will be the clearest sign yet that this trend is taking hold… perhaps accelerating the dollar's decline.
What does this mean for us?
1) If you earn income in US dollars, make sure you're holding your savings in another currency, precious metals, or productive assets.
2) If the trend holds, it's about to get a lot easier for US citizens to diversify internationally and do business abroad. In fact, I'm already seeing encouraging signs of this in Singapore. More to follow on that.

Today the lead story in The Guardian trumpeted that Bjørn Lomborg, notorious for his book 'The Sceptical Environmentalist', calls for a massive global investment to tackle global warming. This 'change of heart' was hailed as a welcome boost to efforts to address climate change.
This is highly reminiscent of The Independent's front-page story some years back when James Lovelock announced he was in favour of nuclear power – also trumpeted as a volte face.
Dramatic stuff, but as I pointed out in a Previous Post, James Lovelock: Man of the Moment [Jan 31, 2006] Lovelock had been pro-nuclear at least since the time I interviewed him in 1984 and had longstanding links with nuclear lobby groups.
Lovelock's statements handily coincided with the publication of a new book. Lomborg's announcement does also.
His new book is Smart Solutions to Climate Change: Comparing Costs and Benefits .Lomborg has always acknowledged global warming. This book is about how global warming spending could be more effectively supplied. Some of these solutions involve geoengineering (See: GEOENGINEERING: PAST & PRESENT

Erie-region employers have added 2,800 jobs since December 2012, pushing total employment in the county up 2.2 percent. That's better than the national growth rate, which was 1.7 percent over the same period.
Manufacturing employment has been less steady, however. Local employment in that sector fell from September to December, said Jim Kurre, professor of economics at Penn State Erie, The Behrend College, and director of the Economic Research Institute of Erie. Employees at Pennsylvania manufacturing sites also worked fewer hours, on average, each week.
"We always hate to see manufacturing jobs disappear, especially since they tend to be higher-paying jobs," Kurre said, "but this quarter's job loss in manufacturing was minimal. And given that sector's long-term downward trend in employment, a small decrease is not such a bad sign."
Other economic measures make the forecast for 2014 look even better. The Erie Leading Index, a quarterly snapshot of the region's economy, surged to a record high in the final quarter of 2013. The growth was consistent: The index, which tracks freight shipments, building permits and the U.S. interest rate spread, among other indicators, set new records each month between May and November.
Six of the eight key indicators measured by the index increased in the final quarter of 2013. The S&P 500 provided the largest boost: It grew by 7.2 percent.
"ELI's upward trend suggests that Erie's employment growth will continue into 2014," Kurre said.
That would continue a trend that began in 2010. Since then, Erie County has restored 7,800 jobs that were lost during the recession. That growth stopped for an extended stretch of 2012 but has since resumed, Kurre said. The addition of 1,500 more jobs would top the county's pre-recession employment peak, which was set in May 2007.
