Tiger Woods battles inflammation 'everywhere' this week at PGA Championship
- by Juana Turner
- in Sports
- — Aug 10, 2018
Fleetwood played with eventual champion Justin Thomas in his opening two rounds at Quail Hollow previous year and says he learned "a few things" from watching the American on the way to his first major title.
He followed that with three rounds in the 70s at the Bridgestone Invitational last week, leaving him a full 20 shots off the pace - and outside the top 20 for the eighth consecutive event.
Nicklaus needed just three tries after winning the PGA in '63 to win his first British Open, and Player likewise needed three tries after the '65 U.S. Open to win his first British.
Along with coverage of the featured groups, PGA Championship LIVE will provide coverage of the closing Nos. "But if I feel like I can compete and have some fun and not get in the way, I would love to keep competing and break that record". I haven't closed out those tournaments as I would have liked, but at least I'm putting myself in position, and that's all I can do. I started this year at 11th, I'm back up to fifth.
"The only thing I haven't done is win enough". I played in a lot of final groups and I haven't played well enough when it's counted.
He can lose the No. 1 ranking to Thomas if Thomas wins and Johnson finishes any worse than a three-way tie for second. "I just need to be able to do that", Woods said.
"As long as I can get my game and ball into shape, it could be a good week".

Annual Perseid Meteor Shower This Weekend To Be Spectacular
However, most like the Perseid , can only be seen under ideal conditions , which according to Blake, will take place August 10-14. A new moon on August 11, just night before the shower's peak, means that the moon won't be bright enough to wash out the meteors.
Aftershocks rock Indonesia's Lombok as quake death toll tops 300
Thousands of homes were damaged or destroyed in Sunday's quake and more than 150,000 people are homeless. Thursday's quake could be felt on Bali, another popular Indonesian resort island west of Lombok.
Meanwhile, European Ryder Cup captain Thomas Bjorn has pulled out on the eve of the tournament with a back injury.
"Being the deepest field in golf and a great golf course and a lot of players trying to knock off that major here at the end of the year that haven't gotten one yet this year, any tournament's a tough one to win, but this one especially is", he said.
Eleven Sports have the rights for the event this year, so if you are looking to the BBC, Sky Sports of BT Sport for your golf action then you will not find it.
"Without a doubt, the next step in my career is to win in America and win a major", he said.
"Since I've been playing well, and particularly since I've been playing well in the majors, I tend to look at them more".
Wednesday, and the final day of practice for the final Major of the year, promises more thunderstorms.
"This is the 14th time he's played this year in this comeback season and he's performed well", Nantz said.

« Guardrails, Why America needs Religion »
George Washington, in his 1796 Farewell Address, warned the new nation about a variety of potential developments. He warned against consistent foreign entanglements as he recognized the danger in excessive military commitments. He also was extremely concerned about the power of political parties, as he saw them as detrimental to healthy political discourse and public decision making. He was convinced that both of these issues would hamper the nation's potential for growth. To him, choosing the right course in these areas would be essential to the future of a healthy, vibrant, and prosperous American democracy.
Yet he gave a third warning that has proven even more significant than the aforementioned. Washington offered a piece of advice about religion that is seen as increasingly controversial in America's current political climate. He called religion and morality "indispensible supports" of "political prosperity". He believed that they represented the primary foundation on which a free society must be built. Moreover, he was concerned about attempting to sustain national morality without religion as its chief guide. He said, "Whatever may be conceded to the influence of refined education on minds of peculiar structure, reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle."[1] He warned Americans about accepting the kind of ethereal and non-specific morality that is commonly promoted today. Furthermore, his successor, John Adams asserted that "The constitution was made for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."[2] Both gentlemen, along with most of the nation's framers, recognized the potential instability of a society built on mutable and secular definitions of morality. They recognized that this phenomenon would require the government to play a greater role in the lives of its citizens. If people were unable to exercise self-government, the state would necessarily need to compensate.
America's recent cultural shift towards secularism threatens the foundations of a free society whose survival depends on a consistent, collective, and self-constraining moral ethos. Freedom itself is predicated upon the notion that individuals have the ability to erect moral boundaries that protect them from the destruction of themselves and others. For the nation's founders, this was the only path to true liberty. As we can clearly see, our nation's current incarceration rates (we have the largest prison population in the world) and heavy dependence on governmental social services to counter deficiencies in individual and family behavior (the nation's largest employer is the federal government), are clear results of this dynamic. We also bear the unenviable distinction of leading the world in cocaine, marijuana, and alcohol use, in addition to having the highest teen pregnancy rate in the industrialized world. Furthermore, only a handful of places in the world, all developing nations, have higher rates of gun violence than the US. Leaders of every community must understand the crucial role that faith can play in solving these dilemmas. Yet much of America's current culture sees religion's role as ancillary at best, and antithetical to American progress at its worst. However, religion's critics have no viable alternative solutions to changing the culture of selfishness, despair, and irresponsibility that is at the core of issues like violence, out of wedlock births, and drug use. Unless leaders recognize this truth, they are in danger of working to destroy the very nation they claim to defend. As Washington reminded us about religion and morality… "In vain would that man claim the tribute of patriotism, who should labor to subvert these great pillars of human happiness, these firmest props of the duties of men and citizens. The mere politician, equally with the pious man, ought to respect and to cherish them."[3]
A vibrant religious community has the power to protect the nation from itself. Working at a college on Chicago's Southside, I am often asked about the causes behind the violence in our city. While a variety of factors play a role, including economic circumstances, access to weapons, and media images, violent behavior is ultimately an internal issue. When people act violently, out of frustration or aggression, these choices represent individual rather than collective decisions. Consequently, while our efforts to impact vulnerable communities from a collectivist, institutional perspective are laudable, they are only as effective as our ability to reach the individual heart and mind. There can be no external change without internal change. I have witnessed, firsthand, the power of individual transformation on a community. I have seen a number of men who were involved in gang activity, drug use, and promiscuous sexual behaviors change their lives when faced with the power of the Christian message. Many of these men, after beginning with an individual conversion experience, have gone on to transform their families and the greater community as well.
A prosperous American democracy requires the guardrails that religion, piety, and the subsequent protected family life provide. Without them, we are headed for the same abysmal fate as the Romans. The Roman Empire's demise was self-imposed and largely the result of embracing an immoral political and social ideology. Unless we acknowledge the distinctive role that the faith community can play in promoting values like sacrifice, peace, delayed gratification, humility, and responsibility to family and community, America's demise will be similar. Changing the political discourse to respect the historic position of religion in free societies, and understanding its unique place in solving our current dilemmas, is America's only way forward. Just as George Washington recognized this, we would be wise to do so as well.

Geographic Variation
Generally, northern populations appear to show somewhat longer wings and shorter tails (Proudfoot and Johnson 2000). Plumage coloration also shows some distributional variation: paler, more gray-toned plumage predominates in populations that occur in drier environments, while birds that live in moister environments typically display a brighter plumage (Proudfoot and Johnson 2000). The number of subspecies recognized varies from 12 (Dickinson 2003) up to 14 (Proudfoot and Johnson 2000):
ridgwayi: Range is central and south Mexico. Distinction between this subspecies and cactorum (see below) is slight.
cactorum: Range is south Arizona to Nayarit, Mexico. In comparison to ridgwayi, the wing is shorter, the tail longer, and the plumage paler and grayer.
intermedium: Range is Mexico from south Nayarit to south Oaxaca. Birds are paler than ridgwayi but darker than cactorum. Recognized by Proudfoot and Johnson (2000), but not by Peters (1940), Friedmann et al. (1950), Dickinson (2003), or König and Weick (2008).
saturatum: Pacific lowlands of Chiapas (District of Soconusco), Mexico, south into adjacent Guatemala. This subspecies is larger, darker above, and has more heavily streaked underparts than ridgwayi. Recognized by Proudfoot and Johnson (2000), but not by Peters (1940), Friedmann et al. (1950), Dickinson (2003), or König and Weick (2008).
medianum (north Colombia)
phaloenoides (north and east Venezuela, Trinidad, and Guianas)
margaritae (Venezuela)
duidae (Mt. Duida in south Venezuela)
olivaceum (Mt. Auyan-Tepuí, southeast Venezuela)
ucayalae (Amazon Basin from southeast Colombia, Venezuela, and Brazil to south Peru and north Bolivia)
brasilianum (northeast Brazil to northeast Argentina and north Uruguay)
pallens (east Bolivia, west Paraguay, and north Argentina)
tucumanum (northwest Argentina)

The summer is wearing on here in Chicago - hot, humid, and seemingly endless. I remember thinking that spring was never going to come, and now here I am praying for some cooler temps!
Of course, there are a million little things to love about summer, like fresh flowers from the farmer's market, pretty dresses the color of ripe watermelon, and calm early mornings down by the river. It really is lovely to step outside before the sun rises and just be bathed in warm air, even if the humidity means that my hair falls flat before I get 10 feet from my door.
I've been wearing this dress regularly in my real life (it's a very good "throw it on an go" piece, which is fantastic when I've reached the point in the season where getting dressed is starting to feel like a chore instead of a pleasure), so I'm glad that I've finally got some good snaps of it. It's a good mid-weight fabric, which gives it a nice drape, and I like the subtle texture that the lines give it and the wide spread of the collar, which really accents the collar bones. Because it's not super light and airy, it'll make a nice transitional piece for the fall with a jacket or cardigan.
Are you guys as ready for fall as I am? Any plans for the waning days of summer?

Steve Davis hopes Nick Powell can push on under David Moyes
Steve Davis is hoping that the appointment of David Moyes at Manchester United will mean our former youngster Nick Powell will get more of a chance to break into the first-team squad. Moyes will leave Everton this summer to take over from the legendary Sir Alex Ferguson at Old Trafford, who is retiring at the age of 71.
Powell made his mark at Old Trafford, scoring on his debut against Wigan and playing in the UEFA Champions League, but a succession of niggly injuries hampered his progress in his debut season.
Davis is pleased that another British manager has been given the opportunity to take charge of the one of the biggest clubs in the world, and the Crewe boss is hopeful that Moyes will, like Ferguson before him, give young players a chance.
Steve said: "It is great that a British manager has a chance to take charge of one of the biggest clubs in the world. Manchester United are a great club and they are always prepared to spot potential and give young players a chance.
"Sir Alex spotted Ronaldo as a 17-year-old and transformed him into a world class player. I'm sure David will do the same and hopefully he will nurture Nick (Powell) and start to introduce him to the first team.
"I wish David Moyes and Nick all the best for next season and it will be interesting to see how thinks develop."

Are you curious about the Christian religion, or just have some questions that you'd like answered? A series of presentations that will be held locally in February hopes to help with that.
Four years ago, a group of individuals representing St. Peter's Lutheran Church in Evansville and St. John's Lutheran Church in Ruma attended a stewardship conference in Springfield.
Attending were: Nathan Koester, Doris Liefer and Jill Phegley. They immediately formed a dual-parish stewardship committee and got to work. Joining the committee were Troy Birch, Rachel Mehring and Pastor Thomas Handrick.
The group received a lot of information at the conference and started getting ideas. "We got fired up and felt we should do something," noted Liefer.
She pointed out that memberships at churches, all churches, are declining and they wanted to do something to draw people back.
Liefer and Koester added that churches used to be the social center for a town, but that is no longer the case. "Now it's just biblical; church isn't social," Koester said.
In addition, sporting events are now being held on Sunday mornings, thus cutting into church attendance even more.
"We're trying to revive it. We all took our congregations' existences for granted," Koester continued. "But the conference fueled our fires and gave us lots of ideas. So we decided to start a committee."

July 18, 2018 | Ryan
Audiences and critics don't always agree, especially when it comes to big blockbusters that bring in tons of cash. Theoretically, movies that make more money should be better than the ones that don't, but that's just in theory. Of the top 200 highest grossing movies of all time worldwide, there's over 50 that did not achieve certified fresh status on Rotten Tomatoes. Of the 55 films in question, there's only 7 that critics scored higher than audiences. This article will list those flicks from bad to worse and break down the numbers behind these unusual anomalies…
The Lord of the Rings trilogy achieved box office success and even won Oscars, something that's incredibly rare for big-budget fantasy films. The studio decided they wanted to try to replicate this success with the series' predecessor, The Hobbit, a relatively short book compared to the LOTR novels. But audiences could smell the cash grab, mostly because the producers decided to stretch the minimal source material into three new movies. The worst received of the three was The Battle of the Five Armies, which brought in nearly a billion dollars and almost made it to fresh status with 59%.
Oz The Great and Powerful – 59%/$493.3 Million
Like the last entry, the motivation for this movie came from trying to capitalize on a previously released hit. As difficult as it was for filmmakers to match the quality of the LOTR trilogy, there aren't many things harder than duplicating the critical and cultural success of one of the most beloved movies of all time. The Wizard of Oz came out in 1939 and captured the hearts and minds of everyone who saw it, fans and critics alike. This Academy Award winner spawned multiple spin-offs, but only one got the blockbuster treatment…
Oz The Great and Powerful, a prequel to the aforementioned classic, came out in 2013 and received mixed reviews from both sides of the viewership, with a 59% critics score and 56% audience score. While it certainly wasn't panned by any means, it felt like a failure simply due to its proximity to the original, which currently sits with a 99% rating on the Tomatometer. The prequel made almost half a billion dollars, with about half coming from domestic audiences and the other half from all over the world.
Despicable Me 3 – 59%/$1,034.8 Billion
Despicable Me 3 came out last year and exploded into the top 30 highest grossing movies of all time. But like many sequels, it couldn't garner the critical success to match the box office numbers. The first movie in the series came out in 2010 and only made half of what the third movie would go on to make seven years later. Despite the lower box office numbers, the original received high scores from audiences and critics, with an 82% and 81% respectively. Many attribute the billion dollar success of DM3 to the popularity of the minions…
A good portion of the top 200 highest grossing movies of all time are animated, and that's not including the live action films with a lot of computer-generated characters and locations. But whether live action or animated, with or without digital effects, the most prevalent trend in this article is that sequels often make more money, but rarely achieve comparable critical success. There are 10 more animated movies on this list, can you guess which hits couldn't make the fans and reviewers happy?
Shrek Forever After – 58%/$752.6 Million
If you guessed the Shrek series, you nailed it. While the first two movies did well with audiences and critics, the remaining movies couldn't compete. Shrek Forever After, the fourth in the collection, made over $750 million worldwide, with the majority coming from overseas. Audiences and critics gave it mixed reviews, with 54% and 58%, so not bad. But did it perform better than its predecessor Shrek The Third? Stick around to find out…
Twister – 57%/$494.5 Million
Twister, which was released in 1996, is one of the oldest movies on this list. It introduced the world to innovative special effects and audiences flocked to theaters to witness something they'd never seen before. All of its numbers are pretty much right down the middle, with half of the box office coming from overseas, half domestic, a 57% critical score and 58% audience score. Twister definitely started a trend that will be seen over and over moving forward…
Mission: Impossible II – 57%/$546.4 Million
The Mission: Impossible series has gotten bigger and more expensive with each release. The second movie made a bit more money than the original, enough to land it in the top 200, where the first did not. It's one of the rare entries on this list, like the aforementioned Shrek Forever After, Despicable Me 3 and Oz The Great and Powerful, that critics liked more than audiences, with 57% versus 43%. Can you guess the other three?
Minions – 56%/$1,159.4 Billion
You won't have to wait long to find out one of the other three movies that critics liked more than audiences. Minions, a spin-off of the previously seen Despicable Me series, scored 56% from critics and 49% from audiences. Either way, it made well over a billion dollars and has become a huge part of pop culture. And it's another one of the many movies here that got most of its box office from overseas.
Madagascar – 55%/$532.7 Million
This entry is one of the more rare in the entire article. Madagascar is the original movie in its series, but received the lowest scores and box office results. While the latter is typical, with sequels often making more money, it's almost unheard of that they would also receive better reviews. The second and third Madagascar are both certified fresh, and higher among the all time money makers, where the original couldn't break out of the rotten category.
Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace – 55%/$1,027 Billion
While the last movie was a bit of a surprise, this one certainly is not. The Star Wars prequels are some of the most divisive of all time, with many accusing them of tarnishing the original films' incredible reputation. But they still made tons of money. Interestingly enough, the second two of the three prequels did better with critics and audiences, but the first scored rotten numbers from fans and critics alike.
Troy – 54%/$497.4 Million
When you combine the box office draw of Brad Pitt with a giant budget and an interesting premise, you get the financial success of 2004's Troy, which made almost half a billion dollars worldwide. As with many of the entries in this article, the overwhelming majority of this poorly-reviewed blockbuster's ticket sales happened outside of the United States. And audiences liked it much more than critics, with 73% over 54%.
Mamma Mia! – 54%/$609.8 Million
Mamma Mia! was a big enough hit to warrant a sequel, which will hit theaters soon, something that is pretty rare for movies that aren't traditional big budget blockbusters. But despite the film's financial success, making over $600 million worldwide, it couldn't score fresh on the Tomatometer. Audiences definitely enjoyed it, with a 66% rating, but critics felt it deserved less, giving it a combined score of 54%.
The Boss Baby – 53%/$528 Million
Somehow, after receiving mixed reviews from both audiences and critics, with a 51% and 53% respectively, The Boss Baby still managed to get nominated for an Academy Award. Despite being a hit, earning over half a billion dollars worldwide, many used its inclusion in the Best Animated Film category as a reason why that part of the Oscars shouldn't be included. For what it's worth, it didn't win.
The Lost World: Jurassic Park – 53%/$618.6 Million
Jurassic Park is a cinematic masterpiece, a rare film that broke box office records while receiving unanimously positive reviews from fans and critics. Although Spielberg isn't normally known to do sequels, the need for a follow up to his hit dinosaur movie was too big to ignore. Unfortunately, even though it made over $600 million, it couldn't possibly compete with the reception of its predecessor. Can you guess which other film in the series is on this list?
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 – 52%/$709 Million
Fans were shocked when Sony decided to reboot Spider-Man just five years after the original trilogy, which many remember not ending well. People didn't hate The Amazing Spider-Man, but they didn't love it either. The sequel was much more divisive than the first, but still brought it almost three quarters of a billion dollars. Sadly, despite the financial success, it didn't lead to a third, and instead, Marvel acquired the rights.
Alice in Wonderland – 52%/$1,025.5 Billion
Like The Wizard of Oz, it makes sense that executives took their time to reboot a beloved classic like Alice in Wonderland, one of the most popular Disney animated movies ever. But finally, in 2010, they attempted a live-action remake that ended up pulling in over a billion dollar at the global box office. And the scores, 52% from critics and 55% from audiences, weren't bad enough to keep the studio from producing a sequel.
Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom – 51%/$1,075.4 Billion
While most of the Jurassic Park series couldn't compete with the original, the movie with the worst rating of them all is this year's Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. Even though it's a huge hit, just like the first Jurassic World, critics and fans are similarly split with 51% and 56% respectively. It will be up to the third of the new trilogy to right the ship and stick the landing.
Maleficent – 50%/$758.5 Million
This article is full of fantasy adaptations and spin-offs gone wrong, and as we get further down the list, the financial success of these movies makes less and less sense compared to the reviews. Maleficent revolves around the villain from Sleeping Beauty, and fans flocked to theaters to the tune of over $750 million. While audiences gave it a fresh 70% rating, critics didn't agree.
Bruce Almighty – 49%/$484.6 Million
Jim Carrey has been a box office draw throughout his entire career, but as his popularity grew with audiences, the critics, who never knew what to make of him, stayed skeptical. Bruce Almighty is one of his most financially successful movies, earning almost half a billion dollars worldwide, something that is very rare for original comedies. But the reviews were still split.
X-Men: Apocalypse – 48%/$543.9 Million
Another trend here is super hero movies, which are more popular now than ever. With so many coming out seemingly back to back, there's bound to be a few misfires. X-Men: Apocalypse is the third movie in the most recent franchise reboot series, and the worst reviewed of the three by far. It didn't make half as much money as the previous film, which received a 90% critics' score.
Rio 2 – 46%/$500.1 Million
It's only been four years since 20th Century Fox released the sequel to 2011's Rio, which received a solid 72% and 71% from critics and audiences. But it seems, despite their financial success, the movies have faded from the public consciousness. Unfortunately, the follow up, while making around the same half a billion dollar box office amount, it got significantly lower scores from fans and reviewers.
The Day After Tomorrow – 44%/$544.3 Million
Disaster movies are usually a hit with audiences, but more for the spectacle rather than the overall quality. Critics are usually pretty harsh with this genre, but that, combined with low scores from fans, still hasn't stopped audiences from coming out to see them when they hit theaters. The Day After Tomorrow made over half a billion dollars, but reviews were split. Can you guess the other disaster flicks on this list?
Night at the Museum – 43%/$574.5 Million
Ben Stiller has made some great films, and for that, he usually does well at the box office. But unfortunately, sometimes doing well at the box office doesn't necessarily mean you made a great film. Night at the Museum is a rare movie on this list in that half its money came from the United States, with the other half from overseas. While fans gave it a fresh score of 67%, critics hit it with a rough 43%.
Hancock – 41%/$624.4 Million
Another bonafide box office draw is the one and only Will Smith, who, at one point, was the most consistent hit making movie star in the world. With his better blockbuster days behind him, he tried his hand at a different type of super hero flick. Hancock was a misfire with critics and fans, but it was still able to make almost three quarters of a billion dollars.
Shrek the Third – 41%/$799 Million
Earlier in the article, the final Shrek film marked the series' first appearance on this list. Seeing as the earlier installments of big budget franchises typically get better reviews than the latter, it makes sense that Shrek the Third would get a worse score than the first two. Even the fans were split, with a 52% audience score, but the movie still made a ton of money at the box office.
2012 – 40%/$769.7 Million
You didn't have to wait long to find out another one of the list's disaster movies. And in this case, it was made by the same director as the last. 2012 came out five years after The Day After Tomorrow, and was able to make a lot more money. But as we get closer to the top spot, the scores get lower. And for 2012, bad reviews came from both the critics and the audience.
Meet the Fockers – 39%/$516.6 Million
Meet the Fockers, which marks Ben Stiller's second appearance here, unfortunately couldn't live up to the reviews of the original. Again, sequels rarely do. But it nearly doubled the box office success, and was enough to warrant a third movie, making this a fairly unusual franchise considering most of the genres, like big budget fantasy and sci-fi, represented on this list.
Cars 2 – 39%/$562.1 Million
Many people think the first Cars is the worst movie made by Pixar, a brand typically associated high quality computer animated films. Fans, both kids and parents, as well as critics usually love what the company makes, but Cars was the first time this wasn't the case. But of course, it was a huge hit, and in 2011, Cars 2 came out. It was also a huge hit, but the reviews were pretty rough.
Armageddon – 38%/$553.7 Million
Another hit disaster movie that critics didn't like was Armageddon. But unlike many of the films on this list, the fans did. It received a 73% from audiences, who were also responsible for its half a billion dollar box office success. While it's the final of its genre on this list, the rest of the entries here could definitely still be considered disaster movies.
The Ice Age Series – 38%/Billions
Between now and the end of this article, some entires will contain multiple films from the same series, with the lowest rated movie deciding where it falls on the list. The first Ice Age did well with fans and critics, but the next three received such bad reviews, with each getting progressively worse, the fifth one didn't make enough money to be included.
Angels & Demons – 37%/$485.9 Million
Angels & Demons was the follow up to The Da Vinci Code, based on the popular books. While it made almost a half a billion dollars, even the fans were split on the quality. But they still liked it much better than the critics, with a 57% compared to a brutal 37%. Read ahead to find out if first movie did better than the sequel…
The Hangover Part II – 33%/$586.8 Million
The first Hangover film was one of the biggest surprise hit comedies of all time. With this kind of success, there was no way the studio wouldn't want to make a sequel. Part II made over $100 million more than the first, but unlike the original's great reviews, both fans and critics weren't happy with this obvious cash grab.
The Pirates of the Caribbean Series – 30%/Billions
The Pirates of the Caribbean series is the first of four at the end of this article where 4 out of the 5 films were huge hits that got terrible reviews. Johnny Depp was only able to do so much to keep these from getting progressively worse, going from 54% down to 30% over the course of the decade in which they were released.
Clash of the Titans – 28%/$493.2 Million
Clash of the Titans was a blockbuster hit when it came out in 2010, but it has since been forgotten. This is probably due to the fact that both fans and critics hated it, with a 28% and 39% respectively. Remember when, after the success of 300, these types of movies were super popular?
The DCEU – 27%/Billions
The second of the four series with an overwhelming majority of poorly reviewed movies is, sadly, the DCEU. The DC Extended Universe comic book movies, aside from the beloved Wonder Woman solo flick, include Man of Steel (55%), Justice League (40%), Batman v Superman (27%) and Suicide Squad (27%). Interestingly enough, unlike the critics, audiences have given them all of the fresh scores.
The Twilight Saga – 25%/Billions
The Twilight Saga, not surprisingly, is the third of the four series with 4/5 disliked movies. After the first Twilight film, which did fine with fans and critics, the others struggled everywhere but at the box office. The series has made billions, with the final entry pulling in $829 million. But unfortunately, they all received between 48% and 25% with critics, and fans barely kept their scores fresh.
The Da Vinci Code – 25%/$758.2 Million
If you guessed that The Da Vinci Code would defy the original vs sequel quality trend, you got it. Somehow, the first of the Dan Brown/Robert Langdon series, even with the help of the beloved Tom Hanks, received worse scores than the sequel. This also explains how it made more money than the follow up, because a lot of fans didn't come back.
Fifty Shades of Grey – 25%/$571 Million
It's sad that the first Fifty Shades film, which received a dismal 25% score from critics and a shockingly low 41% from fans, is the best received movie of the series. The reviews got worse and worse as the trilogy progressed, and so did the box office numbers, keeping the other two from appearance on this list.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles – 22%/$493.3 Million
The original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles trilogy set the bar pretty high for the fans, many of whom weren't on board for a reboot, especially considering the computer-generated heroes. It probably would've broken the half a billion dollar mark if it hadn't received such a low score from critics, seen above, and fans, who gave it an almost equally divided 51%.
The Smurfs – 22%/$563.7 Million
The second to last entry on this list is definitely its biggest surprise. And not because anyone would think The Smurfs would get good reviews, but rather that they'd be this bad. It's not as shocking that it made as much money as it did, but how could it be bad enough to get lower reviews than every other kids movie here?
The Transformers Series – 16%/Billions
It's appropriate, although fairly anti-climactic, that the least surprising entry in this article follows its most unusual. The Transformers series has made a ton of money, with over $4 billion total, but the reviews have gone from bad to worse. While fans have been divided, critics have gone from 35% all the way down to 16%. But due to the box office success, the studio just keeps making them.

Over the past several years New Brunswick has continued to grow with companies making an impact not just in our region, but on the global stage.
We noticed that it has been more than two years since we looked at some of the province's most promising startups, so here's a look at some of the new companies we could see making some waves in the next few years.
1) SomaDetect
Fredericton-based SomaDetect has created a breakthrough technology that could change the dairy industry.
The company has created an in-line sensor that measures key indicators of dairy-quality from cows at every milking. This allows farmers to find out if there are any issues or deficiencies with the milk early on, which could indicate that a cow is sick.
The company got its start by working with New Brunswick dairy farmers, but now the business is looking south of the border. Back in October, they took home took home first place and a $1-million prize at the 43North competition in Buffalo, New York.
"In Canadian dairy farming, we have a lot of farms that are between 100 and 200 cows, which is great," CEO Bethany Deshpande told Huddle. "But you go into the states and you get onto these farms with 5,000 cows or more and it's a whole other beast. It's a whole other type of operation. New York gives us the opportunity to figure that out."
The company now has an office in Buffalo and recently hired three new executives. As reported by Entrevestor, SomaDetect is also on tap to participate in the 2018 Sprint Accelerator Cohort and the NVIDIA Inception program. SomaDetect also announced last month that it would be teaming up with Cornell University on a series of research studies to further develop and validate their product.
It's clear that this startup is on a roll and has no plans on slowing down.
2) FitStats
When your software is used by an Olympic team to take home the gold, you know you're onto something.
Moncton-based FitStats' injury tracking platform is being used by the Norwegian Olympic Centre and Team Norway, which won a record 39 medals in PyeongChang this year.
"Given the fact that they had an amazing Olympics, we feel very fortunate. Very, very proud because it just illustrates that the system that we created, that we built, with people from Moncton, and even Fredericton and Halifax now – a New Brunswick product – can be used by the best Olympic team in the world," said founder François Gazzano in an interview with Huddle back in March.
Athletes can use AthleteMonitoring.com's app on their phones to monitor, analyze and interpret their load, risk, wellness, training, health, testing, and performance data anytime and anywhere. Their coaches and trainers can then study their data on an online platform and enhance their training regimen to boost performance and prevent injuries.
The platform is also currently being used by CSKA Moscow, one of the top basketball teams in the EuroLeague, Basketball New Zealand, sailing team LandRover BAR, the McLaren car racing team, the Winnipeg Jets and various varsity programs in North America. The company also has a partnership with the Oslo Sports Trauma Research Centre, an excellence centre for FIFA and International Olympic Committee research, to commercialize a new injury surveillance system being developed there. Not too shabby.
FITIV, formally known as MotiFit, is another Moncton-based sports tech startup that's showing big potential. FITIV allows users to track all of their fitness activities through their mobile apps, with their most popular app is their one for Apple Watch.
The Apple Watch app uses its heart rate monitor to show the intensity of a user's workout in an engaging way by using an "intensity halo" to help users meet their goals by tracking their space, speed and heart rate.
"The [FITIV] user is definitely not somebody who doesn't know anything about fitness," said CEO Sylvio LeBlanc, in a previous interview with Huddle. "It's somebody who cares and somebody who might want to optimize their time in the gym or optimize their results."
Recently, FITIV took part in the February 2018 cohort of the Canadian Digital Media Network's (CDMN) Get There: San Francisco program, putting them right in the centre of all things tech – Silicon Valley.
As of this month, FITIV has over 630,000 downloads, 35,000 active weekly users and has been used to track over 4 million workouts. You go, FITIV.
4) Spinzo
Saint John-based Spinzo is helping professional sports teams bring a more experiential approach to their group ticket sales.
Founded in 2012, Spinzo is a demand-based pricing platform where corporations like sports teams can run promotions for group purchases where the final price depends on the number of committed buyers.
Prices drop as more people participate, and everyone pays the final low price. Spinzo also now offers customizable tools for professional sports teams to operate such campaigns with different groups, whether it be schools, organizations, or businesses.
"Group ticketing used to be if you're part of a big group or a company you get a discount," said CEO Emmanuel Elmajian in a previous interview with Huddle.
"It's changing from that to be a lot more experiential. In other words, if you go to schools, for example, you could say, 'hey the top-selling school gets a player to visit them at an assembly.' So you can have a competition in a school district, the top-selling school gets that perk."
Spinzo has gotten the attention of the pretty big names over the last several years, signing on clients such as the Arizona Coyotes, Brooklyn Nets, the New York Islanders , the New York Jets, the San Jose Sharks, the Anaheim Ducks, St. Louis Blues, the Carolina Hurricanes, New Jersey Devils, and Columbus Blue Jackets.
Spinzo is poised to continue to expand its client-base of professional sports teams, but they are also getting ready to enter the very new concert group ticketing market.
"We're at that stage now where the concert promoters are trying to figure out what kind of group experience functionality can be embedded into the concert experience," said, Elmajian. "Once that's figured out, we're ready to power all aspects of group experiences for them." Game on.
5) Beauceron Security
New Brunswick has done a lot of work over the last few years to establish itself as a cybersecurity hub. Being home to a company like Beauceron Security, it's not hard to understand why that would be.
Beauceron helps business and organizations assess their cybersecruity risks and whether or not they have the right systems and processes in place to protect themselves.
The comprehensive, automated cybersecurity platform covers cybersecurity education, social engineering simulations, executive surveys and dashboards as well business process and technology gap assessment and analysis.
"Most cybersecurity companies are founded by people steeped in math, computer science and engineering — let's call them systems thinkers," said Beauceron CEO David Shipley, in an interview with Entrevestor last year.
"There's a bias (among them) that says that people are stupid. They're going to click on links so you need a better system. But we believe that if a company is full of stupid people, then cybersecurity is not its greatest problem."
The work Beauceron is doing is going beyond Atlantic Canada. Last year, the company was one of 12 companies chosen for an invitation-only product pitch session during Cybercon 2017, an annual conference focused on the evolving issues affecting cybersecurity and the flagship event of Atlanta Cyber Week next month.
Around that same time, they announced that it received $500,000 in equity funding from private and public investors. Hackers, watch yourself.
6) Stash Energy
Born out of Energia Ventures at the University of New Brunswick, Stash Energy is developing a cost-effective system that works with conventional heat pump technology to store energy.
Even before their product has officially launched, it has already recognized for its potential. Back in September, CEO Jordan Kennie took home the Young Entrepreneur Award at the regional Startup Canada Awards.
Also last fall, Stash Energy was chosen to participate in the Canadian Technology Accelerator (CTA) for clean-energy based in Denver, Colorado. The accelerator helps with selected high-growth, high-potential startups raise capital, do research and development, and explore markets opportunities in the U.S.
"We were really excited to hear that we got accepted into the Denver accelerator because we are at a growth stage right now for our company," Kennie told Huddle back in February. "We're launching a few products in the fall in P.E.I. and hopefully in New Brunswick in 2019. There's a lot of challenges that come with that that the Denver accelerator has helped with so far."
The accelerator wraps up this month and we look forward to seeing what the company's official launch will bring.
7) Mbissa Energy
Mbissa has both a scalable and sustainable model for bringing energy to off the grid communities in Africa. The company is named after the island of Mbissa, where the company is currently running a pilot program.
The company establishes central "hubs," like substations, throughout the island. They are at places like clinics, businesses and community centres.
Using solar panels, the hubs serve as a battery charging stations. Residents pay a small service fee for a battery which they can take to a hub to charge.
Once the battery is charged, residents take the batteries back to their homes where they can provide electricity for several days.
Founder Caleb Grove says providing sustainable electricity to these rural areas have the power to transform communities in both quality of life and economic growth.
"The idea is when you have even just small amount of electricity, then you're able to do more things," said Grove in a previous interview with Huddle. "You can also look at using small computers to keep data, you can look at doing micro business whether you're running things like a sewing machine or other pieces of equipment you might have to address a need in that area. It acts as a basis for things like health care."
Back in December, Grove also wanted to show New Brunswickers that they could transform their lives from too. He showcased a micro home in Douglas that uses 100 per cent renewable solar and wind energy in order to run basic electrical services.
At the end of last year, the company completed 40 renewable energy installations in homes, clinics, and businesses on and around the island Mbissa. Grove said he planned to return to Cameroon in January to train another team of technicians who he hopes can complete installations across the entire island of Mbissa within eight months.

Muscle Tuning is not just for athletes - it's for all bodies! And I am available to come in to your fitness club for demos.
Your body parts don't work in isolation. Groups of muscles work together to lift an object or to allow you to bend down. When one muscle isn't operating at 100%, other muscles take on a greater load. While this allows you to function in your every day life, eventually the muscles that are working harder will start to complain and can become strained and injured.
your body holds the neuro-musculo-energetic memory of old injuries, even once those injuries have healed. Clearing out that old memory can reduce current pain, increase range of motion and mobility and help our overall emotional well-being
most of our injuries and illnesses have an emotional cause or component; your body can hold onto those emotions. Clearing them out can give you a better outlook on life

*This content was adapted from the US Interagency Council on Homelessness' "Key Considerations for Implementing Emergency Shelter Within an Effective Crisis Response System" document.
Responding effectively to homelessness requires a combination of strategies at the local level: preventing or diverting people from experiencing homelessness whenever possible; ensuring people transition rapidly from homelessness to housing and services; and providing immediate low-barrier shelter options for people experiencing homelessness who cannot immediately access permanent housing.
Emergency shelter should support flow from a housing crisis to housing stability, in which the aim of the system is to produce the most rapid and effective permanent housing connections for individuals and families facing crises. Unfortunately, many communities are facing high numbers of people experiencing unsheltered homelessness— sometimes in the form of encampments—as well as the need to address long stays in emergency shelter. This can result in limited capacity to provide immediate emergency shelter access to everyone who needs it.
Additionally, high barriers to entering emergency shelter, like the "no pets allowed" culture, too many rules within emergency shelter, curfews that make it difficult to maintain a job, and a lack of focus or capacity to rapidly connect people to permanent housing are a few other factors that contribute to a lack of flow within a community's crisis response system. Addressing flow into and out of shelter is critical to having an effective crisis response system and for ensuring that emergency shelters can improve their capacity and to play their role in connecting people to housing quickly.
If guests perceive that an emergency shelter stay requires conforming to rules or expectations that seem unreasonable, punitive, or that divide them from their defined family, they may decline the support they need. For an emergency shelter to achieve its intended purposes, the expectations placed on guests should be minimal, transparent, and reasonable.
For emergency shelters, creating a low barrier environment means removing as many pre- conditions to entry as possible and responding to the needs and concerns of people seeking shelter. Historically, concerns about safety, allergies, and cleanliness have prompted many shelters to limit access to people's animals, and therefore precluding the entire family from accessing shelter.
But a number of innovative shelter programs across the country have been able to design their approach to accommodate people regardless of accompanying animals. Low-barrier shelters emphasize welcoming guests in as they are, while having clear and simple behavioral expectations that apply to anyone residing in the shelter. These expectations are narrowly focused on maintaining a safe environment for all.

The Sacred and the Profane
Emile Durkheim argued that the function of religion was to separate the sacred from the profane. For the sociologist, the profane is synonymous with the mundane, base, day-to-day concerns of the individual. Sacred are those things valued (good or evil) by a community as a whole and subsequently elevated or separated out as totem or taboo.
Tony Toscani and Olga Sophie Kauppinen, shown together, blur this dichotomy. Tony's body of work provides an intimate look at death, grief, and spirituality, but also manages to find the poetry in scenes from daily life. Sophie directs our gaze toward the base experiences of the mundane – lust, anger, paranoia – but provides this view in such a way as to suggest a connection or communion with the subject, thus creating the spiritual from the profane.

I remember thinking even before we became pregnant how wonderful it will be to be home when the time comes, Lord willing, to have children. After factoring in income and the expense of childcare, Devin and I both decided that if it was in the Lord's will, I would stay at home with our future child(ren).
The time came and the Lord blessed us with a precious baby boy. YES! I was going to be home, all day, with no alarm clock, no getting ready for work, and no deadlines to meet. I could stay in my pj's all day if I so desire. Life was going to be good; reallll good! Right? Well, not exactly! Being able to be home with Zay is nothing short of a blessing and I am so very thankful, but being at home also comes with it's own set of challenges- both emotionally and mentally I never, ever could have anticipated. It's kind of like childbirth. No one could ever prepare you for what you are about to endure. It's just something you "get" once you go through the experience. I was so used to being active and "making a difference" each day "at work". Remember when I couldn't wait to be at home in my pi's all day. Yep, now it's hard for me to feel accomplished when I'm still in my pj's at 5pm. Remember when I couldn't wait to not have an alarm clock? Well, now that sweet alarm goes off more than I would particularly like it to, and in the form of a human. My, oh my, how my thought process has changed! It's been one HUMONGOUS learning curve. I've had to learn to see the beauty in the smallest of things; from being "okay" with the fact that I despise putting laundry away, to accepting the fact that I only have an hour to get things "done" while Zay naps, to recognizing the blessing in sitting to watch Zay play and learn, which is building a legacy far worth any temporal, tangible item on this earth. Coming to this realization brought freedom and quickly led me to understand where my ministry truly lies. My ministry is home, teaching, by the grace of God, Zayin the ways of The Lord. This I know, without a shadow of a doubt, but wait, I began missing getting ready for work, meeting the deadlines and that feeling of sweet accomplishment. I mean, how can I feel "accomplishment" in the everyday things I "should" be already doing as a mother and wife, like laundry, dishes, etc. What's wrong with me? How could I ever feel lonely, isolated and unaccomplished when I have this precious baby boy's smile that stares back at me each and every day. Truth be told, embracing "home" didn't come natural to me. Does it to anyone? Like they say with breastfeeding; it's something so natural but doesn't come natural...- yep that's right. Working for "home" is a skill I had to acquire and is a mindset I must continue to remind myself of each day. It's just like love. Love isn't a feeling, it's a choice. Butterflies fade and life happens, so each morning I wake I have a choice, and choosing to love Devin is one of the best decisions I could ever make for our family. Devin and I don't only reap the benefits, but Zayin does times 1,000!
So back to having to "acquire the skill" and it just not coming naturally... so this means I am not meant to be at home and rather at work? No. It just simply means God is using this season, as He does with most seasons to continue to grow me mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Just as Paul, the writer of Philippians mentions in 4:12, "I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation." Paul here is admitting that "contentment" did not come natural to him. This was an acquired skill; something that had to be learned for him. I have only begun to learn what "embracing home", or "embracing my now" means to me. It is by far the hardest, yet best job I've ever had. How is that even possible for something to be hard but yet the best? Yep, I'm still learning. Home can be one of the most influential places for a child, which to me can put a lot of undue pressure on my shoulders, but God has given me the desire and gift to be here, alongside Zay as he grows and learns. But this still doesn't take away the feelings of loneliness and isolation. How could I ever shed a tear when it appears I have everything I would have ever wanted? It took me a loooong while to even begin understanding all of this after birthing Zayin. I thought it was going to be easy- I mean I am home all day and can get everything done, right? WRONG! Believe it or not- laundry, dishes, and toys pile up more now that I'm home then when I was at work and felt I "didn't have the time" to do anything. Like I said before, being at home comes with it's own set of struggles. Believe it or not, the house is cleaned less, dishes done less, and the laundry's piled up more, but I am in the process of learning to embrace the toys everywhere, the never ending clothes that pile up, the unending dishes, the cleaning, the dirty diapers, the cries, the laughs, the milestones, the hugs, the kisses, the "mommy me do it" when you don't have time for them to do it because you must GO, the tantrums, the falls, the hurts, and lastly, that smile each morning as you enter your child(rens) room after a (short) night's rest and think, every feeling, good and bad is worth it. Time is fleeting. This too is a season and will pass sooner than I'd ever want it to. Embrace the now, whether it's a fantastic, down-right treacherous, or simply in between time in your life. The Lord's at work. Devin and I consider me being home our "luxury", so if it's yours as well, cling to this gift because these moments are short-lived. They will pass you by quicker than you could have ever wanted. Let's be honest- we all have moments we want to pass by quickly- like your kid screaming in the middle of the grocery store and no matter what you do or say or give to them, he or she's scream continues to grow louder and louder. No one desires to live in that moment any longer then they have to, but hey, this is life. This is your life. May even the downright ugly moments be teachable moments for both you and your growing child. If we begin to see them as teachable moments, they soon become beautiful memories of, "remember that time when...". :) In the moment, yes they are tough, but I am confident when I begin to have teenagers getting their driver's license, I will so want to go back to those grocery store tantrums vs. my "baby" on the roads! With each season comes new challenges, but more importantly, new blessings. #embraceyournow. Mommies near and far who work outside of the home and inside, or just inside, remember this- we are never called to do things perfectly. Our husbands don't expect it, our children don't, and God surely doesn't. Matter-a-fact, we are teaching our children a valuable lesson if they see us fall every once in a while. We will continue to fall short and that's a-okay! Focus on the purpose and let God handle the rest. #EmbraceYourNow
Love in Him,

Global golf entertainment leader Topgolf is growing like crazy. With 7-10 new U.S. venues each year, the company decided to make its first strategic acquisition in early 2016, purchasing sports gaming group World Golf Tour (WGT). The deal created the world's largest digital golf audience and more than doubled Topgolf 's fan base overnight. Topgolf called Three Box to amplify the announcement with tier-one and national trade media.
Topgolf had big expectations for this announcement – looking to get the attention of the media to spread the news quickly to Topgolf fans, industry partners and potential investors. Three Box knew that the initial pitch would need to pique the media's interest – without prematurely revealing the news. The team laid out a media strategy to maximize attention during the 2016 PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando, Florida – a popular industry event.
Three Box's media strategy for Topgolf 's acquisition announcement had several moving parts. Along with the internal team, Three Box helped plan the company's first-ever news conference. Prior to the show, we pitched national and trade media and invited contacts to attend the event. We also leveraged live-streaming technology to broadcast the news conference in real time for media, fans and associates of both Topgolf and WGT who weren't able to attend the show.
On the day of the announcement, media filled Topgolf 's standing-room-only news conference, which generated more than 1.9 million impressions and 60 original articles. Our results included:
- Articles by Forbes, Financial Times, Associated Press and VentureBeat
- Industry visibility in Golf Digest, Golf Channel and Golf Range Magazine
- Nearly 2,500 unique views of the news conference live stream
- A more than 30 percent increase in Topgolf.com traffic during and in the days following the announcement

It's Press Night of The RSC's production of The Seven Acts of Mercy tonight at the Swan Theatre in Stratford-Upon-Avon, with Lena Kaur as Donna.
Naples, 1606. Inside an unfinished church, a painting is emerging from the darkness. The Seven Acts of Mercy is Caravaggio's masterpiece – and his first painting since he killed a man and fled Rome. As the artist works, he is fuelled by anger, self-loathing and his driving need to create a work that speaks of compassion in a violent world.
Bootle, the present day. A retired dock worker teaches his grandson, as around them a community is disintegrating under the pressure of years of economic and political degradation. With all he has left, a book of great works of art, he tries to open the boy's eyes to the tragedy and beauty of the life he faces. And the boy reciprocates in the only way he knows.
Playing out across a gap of 400 years, Anders Lustgarten's visceral new play confronts the dangerous necessity of compassion, in a world where it is in short supply. Directed by RSC Deputy Artistic Director Erica Wyman.Overview
Lena's most notable TV include: SPC Bryony, Happy Valley series 2, Prisoners Wives , Torchwood and Hollyoaks.

Seeing Double on Broadway - 221 W 82nd & 222 W 83rd St
If you happened to be walking on Broadway between 82nd and 83rd Street and glance up at the two buildings on the east side of the street, you can rest assured that you are not seeing double. These buildings, 221 West 82nd Street and 222 West 83rd Street, are twin buildings.
As the 1920's brought a building boom to the Upper West Side, the developer Sam Minskoff, a former plumber, was on his way to becoming a prolific NYC developer. Architect, Emery Roth, whose very first building design, the Saxony, built in 1900 and located just down the street at 250 West 82nd, was also earning accolades for his work. Minskoff, having already worked with Roth, once again commissioned him to work on what would become the first of a two building project.
The first of the two, located on 82nd Street, was named the Myron Arms, and the second, built a year later on 83rd, was called Jerome Palace. Both were named after his sons. Myron, Jerome and a third son, Henry, would eventually take over the family business of Sam Minskoff and Sons and in the 1970's would oversee the construction of what Broadway theater lovers would come to know as the Minskoff Theater.
Key features of the Italian Renaissance inspired designs of the two buildings include the use of granite, limestone, brick and terracotta. Each of the buildings are topped with a setback penthouse floor. There are some slight variations between the two, so the next time you are passing by, look up and see if you can detect the differences.

Telling Stories at Strathcona
Strathcona Elementary School in Hamilton was the first-place winner the 2016 Telling Tales Explore Your World School Contest. On December 15, 2016 they enjoyed their prize – an author visit by Andrew Larsen!
The winning class worked together to create a large masterpiece inspired by Andrew's book The Imaginary Garden. As their prize, the school received this unique author experience. Find out more about the school's winning entry.
We are all storytellers
When Andrew was young, he didn't know he could be a storyteller. He thought he was going to be a hockey player. He played road hockey and made up stories where he was playing in game seven of the Stanley Cup finals.
To the amazement of the students, he told them, "In kindergarten I became an author." Then he showed the students the very first book he made. It was a gift for his mom. He made books for his family, and encourages kids to make their own handmade books for grown-ups.
During his presentation, Andrew gave students an inside look into his stories and how he came up with the ideas. "Ideas for stories are all over the place. We are all full of stories."
How to grow a book
The idea for his book The Not-So-Faraway Adventure grew out of The Imaginary Garden. He had an idea as he was travelling on the subway in Toronto on a summer day. His idea was the joy of painting. His mom and daughter paint together, and he wanted to explore how the painting develops as the story develops.
Andrew sat at the computer and wrote a first draft in three to four days.
Then he asked the Strathcona students to guess how many drafts it took to reach the final story in the book. They were surprised to find out it took almost 100 drafts to make the story just right. "Like shining silver," explained Andrew, "it gets better each time."
At draft 60 he knew it was good enough to be a book. He worked with an editor to help fix the story, offer suggestions and make the story work better. There were a lot of changes, and it was hard work, but Andrew did not give up.
He continued working on it, and an artist did the illustrations to accompany his words. The characters of his mom and daughter eventually turned into the story's main characters: Papa and Theo. That first idea he had on the subway grew up into a book.
A sequel
The book did very well, and has been translated into different languages and sold all around the world.
Due to its popularity, Andrew wanted to write another story with these same characters. He thought about a few ideas, and then one day his father-in-law came over and asked his daughter to go out for French fries. They ended up spending the whole day looking for the best fries around Toronto, and simply having fun together. So their adventure looking for food inspired The Not-So-Faraway Adventure.
Writing advice for kids
Writing can be hard. Often the challenge is where to begin, so Andrew reminded the students, "Every story starts with a single word. So start with 'I'. Then ask yourself questions: Then what? What did I do today? I woke up and it was snowing. That can lead into it being a story about a snow day. Who is the character? Always ask yourself: 'and then what?'"
Fun facts
- The biggest challenge for Andrew is ending a story; he has changed the ending on virtually every book he wrote
- He has nine published books and six are coming out between now and 2019
- A Squiggly Story is based on Andrew's school visits and the many questions kids ask him
- A Squiggly Story took five years to write
- Every year Andrew writes a Christmas story and gives it to his family
- He gets ideas when he hears snippets of conversations
- He has given his mom 40-50 handmade books
