An advertisement promoting the GE Financial Network is giving the GE mutual funds highly-prized prime time, national exposure during the Summer Olympics.
The advertisement began running Sept. 23 and is part of a three-ad campaign for the insurance, financial and banking services offered on the website, said Chris Matthews, senior vice president of electronic marketing for the GE Financial Network, a subsidiary of GE Financial Assurance of Stamford, Conn.
The ad includes a montage of young children engaged in a variety of activities. Each child stops what he or she is doing and shouts out the name of a college. The final montage is of two children playing in a park.
"How much does college cost?" one child asks the other.
"I don't know," says the other child. "I think it's free." The ad then displays the GE Financial Network's mutual fund web page and a voice-over informs viewers that GE mutual funds are one way to begin saving for a child's college education.
The ads are directed at 30 to 40-year-old parents who have small children and are beginning to save for their college educations, Matthews said.
The ads represent the first time GE Financial Network has been advertised on television and the campaign is the largest GE Financial Assurance has ever launched, Matthews said.
The first ad began appearing over Labor Day weekend in seven target markets including San Francisco, Chicago, Boston, Houston, Dallas, Baltimore and Kansas City. Throughout the Summer Olympics, the ads will appear nationwide. The ads will continue to appear in the selected markets and will also occasionally appear on national television until Nov. 6, Matthews said.
This is also the first time GE Financial Assurance has marketed it products directly to consumers under the GE Financial Network umbrella, Matthews said. In the past, the firm has largely marketed its products through intermediaries.
The GE Financial Network, introduced earlier this year, is marketed to self-directed investors as an online source of financial, insurance and banking products.
In February, GE Financial Assurance began offering no-load shares of its 21 funds to direct investors on the GE Financial Network. The firm's decision to offer no-load shares of its funds initially raised some concern among intermediaries selling the loaded shares of the funds. (MFMN 8/28/2000) But the firm discussed its marketing plans with its intermediaries and there have not been any complaints about the ad campaign, Matthews said.
"All of the potential issues were raised and were discussed before we launched the campaign," he said.
The ad campaign follows a novel promotion the company launched earlier this summer designed to give the GE Financial Network greater exposure among younger investors, Matthews said. The promotion involved GE personnel placing wallets containing special prizes including t-shirts and $100,000 worth of GE investment products in various locations in 10 major cities. Radio and print ads encouraged consumers to look for clues for when and where the wallets would be dropped on the GE Financial Network.

When it comes to smartphones, the iPhone is definitely one of the most popular platforms available. Apple's entry into the mobile market back in 2007 has been so incredibly successfully that they were able to penetrate and even dominate the market in just a couple years. The company's success has led to the introduction of various generations of devices after the very first iPhone product. Versions such as the 5, 5s, 6, 6s, and the SE were released in early 2016, and the latest generations of 7 and 7 plus much later on. As of now, the iPhone has been among the most popular lines of smartphones around the world, with more than 40% of the market share in the US alone.
iPhone and the World of Gambling
When the iPhone has gained massive popularity, it didn't take long for the gambling world to notice. Before long, many mobile gaming sites have appeared, with apps being made available in the App store, such as free iPhone poker, to allow iPhone users to place their bets and play their favourite casino games using their iPhone devices. Nowadays, iPhone casinos are considered an integral part of the online gambling platform, considering that they are a great contributor to the mobile revolution which goes on up to this day.
The arrival of the App Store in 2008 has allowed game developers to sell casino games directly to their customers instead of dealing with mobile network operators. Since it can be accessed by any device that runs on the iOS platform, iPhone users didn't have any trouble looking for the game they want in the App Store. One of the most downloaded paid apps in the App Store is Texas Hold'em, which has been downloaded by tons of players 5 hours after it went live in the App store. This only goes to show the influence the iPhone has in the world of online gambling.
Real money mobile casinos weren't left out either. In fact, you can find plenty of them out there. Even though most iPhone casino apps are offered for free, there's always the option of playing using real money considering that they all come with secure payment methods for easier and secure transactions.
Apple Apps vs Web-based Real Money Apps
Compared to other real money apps for the Android, Blackberry, and other mobile operating systems, one of the main advantages of an iPhone gambling app is the operating system itself. The iOS operating system is considered as one of the smoothest operating systems there is, enabling automatic updates on every smartphone which is ran on iOS.
With this, online casino players that own an older version of the iPhone will still be able to access iPhone poker and any other casino applications on their device. In order to do so, they simply have to update their operating system to the latest versions before they are able to use any applications that are compatible to the latest version.
Another amazing advantage of the Apple's iPhone is that the company maintains a very strict policy in terms of real money gambling apps which are offered in the App Store. This policy is also one of the reasons why major online casinos have decided to develop a site-based web app on their own. There are certain restrictions placed by Apple as a means of addressing the varying legislation issues in every country. For example, you won't be able to use any real money casino and gambling apps from Apple in the US due to such restrictions, until online betting has been legalized. Nonetheless, free poker on iPhone and other casino apps offered by Apple are high quality ones. They make an excellent choice for gamblers who live in countries with little or no gambling restrictions.
iPhone Casinos vs Desktop Casinos
Obviously, playing on your mobile device will look different compared to playing on your desktop computer. However, in spite of the smaller sized screen, the best iPhone casinos will almost have similar gameplay to their traditional counterparts, except with a few minor differences.
Nowadays, the introduction of HTML5 makes it possible for mobile games to share the same gameplay and style of their PC versions. Simply put, the games you get to play are almost the same regardless of the platform you're playing on. The main changes have something to do with the layout, although this is something you're probably used to especially if you're browsing websites using your iPhone device. Some other information which you can't find on screen will be placed in the menu section, and even those in the menu will be condensed. You might find some graphical elements such as the background art and other graphics to be missing in order to allocate more room for performance.
As we already know, there are instances where mobile data connections run very slow, and phones will sometimes struggle with several apps while running lots of programs all at once. Due to this, a lot of iPhone poker apps and other casino apps offer settings which allow players to customize various features and minimize the graphics in order to make their games run smoothly. One of the main features of most iPhone casinos is that they always make sure to improve their games in order to provide players with the best gambling experience possible.

Every one giggled at this naughtiness. In a pleased way Eddie Swanson stated that he would have a physician analyze his coffee daily. The others were diverted to a discussion of the more agreeable recent murders, but Babbitt drew Louetta back to personal things:
"That's the prettiest dress I ever saw in my life."
"Do you honestly like it?"
"Like it? Why, say, I'm going to have Kenneth Escott put a piece in the paper saying that the swellest dressed woman in the U. S. is Mrs. E. Louetta Swanson."
"Now, you stop teasing me!" But she beamed. "Let's dance a little. George, you've got to dance with me."
Even as he protested, "Oh, you know what a rotten dancer I am!" he was lumbering to his feet.
"I'll teach you. I can teach anybody."
Her eyes were moist, her voice was jagged with excitement. He was convinced that he had won her. He clasped her, conscious of her smooth warmth, and solemnly he circled in a heavy version of the one-step. He bumped into only one or two people. "Gosh, I'm not doing so bad; hittin' 'em up like a regular stage dancer!" he gloated; and she answered busily, "Yes—yes—I told you I could teach anybody—don't take such long steps!"
For a moment he was robbed of confidence; with fearful concentration he sought to keep time to the music. But he was enveloped again by her enchantment. "She's got to like me; I'll make her!" he vowed. He tried to kiss the lock beside her ear. She mechanically moved her head to avoid it, and mechanically she murmured, "Don't!"
For a moment he hated her, but after the moment he was as urgent as ever. He danced with Mrs. Orville Jones, but he watched Louetta swooping down the length of the room with her husband. "Careful! You're getting foolish!" he cautioned himself, the while he hopped and bent his solid knees in dalliance with Mrs. Jones, and to that worthy lady rumbled, "Gee, it's hot!" Without reason, he thought of Paul in that shadowy place where men never dance. "I'm crazy to-night; better go home," he worried, but he left Mrs. Jones and dashed to Louetta's lovely side, demanding, "The next is mine."
"Oh, I'm so hot; I'm not going to dance this one."
"Then," boldly, "come out and sit on the porch and get all nice and cool."
In the tender darkness, with the clamor in the house behind them, he resolutely took her hand. She squeezed his once, then relaxed.
"Louetta! I think you're the nicest thing I know!"
"Well, I think you're very nice."
"Do you? You got to like me! I'm so lonely!"
"Oh, you'll be all right when your wife comes home."
"No, I'm always lonely."
She clasped her hands under her chin, so that he dared not touch her. He sighed:
"When I feel punk and—" He was about to bring in the tragedy of Paul, but that was too sacred even for the diplomacy of love. "—when I get tired out at the office and everything, I like to look across the street and think of you. Do you know I dreamed of you, one time!"

Quick Reference
Henry Holden was born in either 1596 or 1597 at Mitton in Lancashire. He died in Paris in either March 1661 or March 1662. He was the son of Richard Holden of Chaigley Manor, Mitton, Lancashire and Eleanor, daughter of Miles Gerard of Ince, Wigan, Lancashire. He entered the seminary at Douai in September 1618, where one of his teachers was Thomas White, and he was ordained at Cambrai in March 1622. He moved to the writers' foundation set up by the English secular clergy in Paris, known as the College d'Arras (founded in 1611). He became a doctor of the Sorbonne. His career was spent almost entirely in Paris, and he eventually became vicar-general of the Paris diocese. In 1625, dissatisfied with the squabbling among the seculars at the writers' college, he joined the house-hold of Michel de Marillac, the finance minister of Cardinal Richelieu, who in 1626 became chancellor of France and in whose circle Holden would meet influential French churchmen including leading Gallicans such as François de Harlay de Champvallon, Archbishop of Rouen (with whom Holden would later be closely associated). He was from the start a member of the politically active faction among the English secular clergy (based in part at the Paris writers' college which had housed Gallican thinkers like Anthony Champney, whose confidence he enjoyed when the latter was elected Dean of the English secular clergy Chapter in 1637). With letters of commendation from Champney, Holden went to Rome in 1638 to replace Peter Fitton as the secular clergy's agent there. The purpose of the visit was to persuade Rome to appoint a successor or coadjutor to Richard Smith (who had withdrawn from England as a result of disputes with the religious) and to get the secular clergy's Chapter, which had been set up in arguably irregular circumstances in the 1620s, recognized by Rome.

The US is projected to be the largest global oil producer by about 2020 — overtaking Saudi Arabia until the mid-2020s — according to International Energy Agency's 2012 World Energy Outlook (WEO).
The WEO forecasts that the extraordinary growth in oil and natural gas output in the United States will mean a sea-change in global energy flows. In the New Policies Scenario, the WEO's central scenario, the United States becomes almost self-sufficient in energy, in net terms, by 2035.
North America emerges as a net oil exporter, accelerating the switch in direction of international oil trade, with almost 90 percent of Middle Eastern oil exports being drawn to Asia by 2035. Links between regional gas markets will strengthen as liquefied natural gas trade becomes more flexible and contract terms evolve.
While regional dynamics change, global energy demand will push ever higher, growing by more than one-third over the period to 2035, according to the WEO. China, India and the Middle East account for 60 percent of the growth. Meanwhile, demand barely rises in OECD countries, which see a shift away from oil, coal and in some countries, nuclear, and toward natural gas and renewables.
Fossil fuels will remain dominant in the global energy mix, WEO says, supported by subsidies that, in 2011, jumped by almost 30 percent to $523 billion, due mainly to increases in the Middle East and North Africa. Global oil demand grows by 7 mb/d to 2020 and exceeds 99 mb/d in 2035, by which time oil prices reach $125/barrel in real terms (more than $215/barrel in nominal terms).
A surge in unconventional and deepwater oil boosts non-OPEC supply over the current decade, but the world relies increasingly on OPEC after 2020. Iraq accounts for 45 percent of the growth in global oil production to 2035 and becomes the second-largest global oil exporter, overtaking Russia, according to the report.
While the regional picture for natural gas varies, the global outlook over the coming decades looks to be bright, as demand increases by 50 percent to 5 trillion cubic metres in 2035. Nearly half of the increase in production to 2035 is from unconventional gas, with most of this coming from the United States, Australia and China.
Renewables become the world's second-largest source of power generation by 2015 and close in on coal as the primary source by 2035, according to the report. However, this rapid increase hinges on continued subsidies. In 2011, these subsidies — including for biofuels — totaled $88 billion, but over the period to 2035 need to amount to $4.8 trillion; over half of this has already been committed to existing projects or is needed to meet 2020 targets.

As NSA leaker Ed Snowden struggles to find a country that will take him, the case continues to cause diplomatic headaches for the U.S. government.
In the latest flare-up, France's top security official on Thursday publicly dressed down the U.S. at the American ambassador's July 4 garden party.
Interior Minister Manuel Valls, who was a guest of honor at the event hosted by Ambassador Charles Rivkin, denounced alleged U.S. "espionage" of France and other countries, while the European Parliament voted to open an investigation.
In a speech before hundreds of guests, he said that "in the name of our friendship, we owe each other honesty. We must say things clearly, directly, frankly." He said the alleged spy tactics, "if proven, do not have their place between allies and partners."
The European suspicion is the product of yet another news story presumably based on material leaked by Snowden, who continues to evade arrest by staying in the transit zone of the Moscow airport.
After a Guardian report last week detailed alleged U.S. monitoring of European allies, President Obama and other administration officials have tried to assuage concerns, saying they'll take up the issue directly with the Europeans.
But while the administration tries to smooth over that issue, it's dealing with outraged Latin American leaders over an incident involving Bolivian President Evo Morales.
On Tuesday, Morales' presidential plane had to make an unplanned stopover in Austria, apparently over suspicions that Snowden was onboard. His government said France, Spain and Portugal all refused to let it through their airspace, forcing it to land in the Austrian capital.
Bolivian government officials have repeatedly said they believe that Washington was behind the incident, as Bolivia is one of the 21 countries Snowden applied to for asylum.
Ecuadorean Foreign Minister Ricardo Patino said that the presidents of Argentina, Venezuela, Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia, Suriname and possibly Uruguay were attending meeting in Cochabamba, Bolivia, on Thursday to discuss the matter.
Neither Bolivia nor Venezuela has publicly rejected Snowden's asylum request. The incident in Austria could make them more amenable to working with Snowden.
But a number of other countries were, one by one, turning Snowden down. According to Reuters, Italy's foreign minister on Thursday said it could not grant Snowden's asylum request to their country because he is not on their soil. This follows a string of rejections from other countries on Monday and Tuesday.
According to Reuters, Russia is also losing patience with Snowden. Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov reportedly said Snowden should find another place to seek refuge.
"He needs to choose a place to go," Ryabkov told Reuters.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Hello everyone,
My stock broker will not approve my request for margin, but I'm bearish on the market as a whole right now (we're back were we were post-recession and are we really any better off?)
How do I short the market as a whole? Should I buy something like SH or SDS? I heard that those still don't track the inverse S&P that well...
What is the best approach?
Unleveraged short ETFs like SH have much less negative skew than leveraged short ETFs like SDS. So SH would be better.
For 99% or more of retail investors, I would suggest raising cash if you don't like the market, not shorting.
One other possibility is buying puts. You don't need margin to do that, but again it's not a good strategy for 99% or more of retail investors.
How much $$$ are we talking about ?
Most brokers will provide margin accounts unless you don't have enough money or they think you lack the sophistication to have margin.
If you don't mind letting us know how much you have with said broker and who they are ? maybe we can find you a different broker ?
If you want to short the s & p sh is your best bet if you think as a whole the sp will go down.
I'm sure there are other funds as well also hdge is an actively managed short fund.
I use Fidelity through my employer, they did not state a reason for my denial of margin. When I was on ETrade, they gave it to me and I didn't even have a full time job...
Anyway, looking at my finances as a whole, a lot of it is in cash, so I guess I'm already prepped for a market drop.

text: I'm making enough money to live a life as of now but the problem is that I feel like a loner. Ever since I left my job, I am all alone. I work, sleep, eat and go out alone. I don't have much contact with my friends too because they are busy working 9-5 and building their social circle, visiting places in groups etc. I just wanted to get this out of my mind because its spoiling up my productivity. Its playing mind games with me and life has become very monotonous too. Travelling is an option but I am too shy to go around and those whom I choose to go around with are always busy. Help me bro''s. Now i am really starting to feel that money ain't everything. You need to have a life too. Now if you will say "Go and join some clubs etc". I can't because I am so f****ed up that its causing me problems to mix up with others too(maybe social fear). I dont know what to do.

Prostate cancer cannot be detected for certain by your GP, but there are tests your GP can do. However there are other tests that can be undertaken by a specialist (Urologist)
PSA Testing
A PSA test measures the level of PSA in the blood stream. PSA stands for Prostate Specific Antigen, which is a protein made by the prostate gland.
DRE Examination
Doctors use the digital rectal exam DRE) as a relatively simple test to check the prostate. Because the prostate is an internal organ, your doctor cannot look at it directly. But because the prostate lies in front of the rectum, he or she can feel it by inserting a gloved, lubricated finger into your rectum.
Ultrasound Scan
An ultrasound scan can help doctors see if there is a cancer in the prostate. The test involves inserting an ultrasound probe into the rectum. Ultrasound pictures are then taken of the Prostate Gland, which maybe used as a guide for a Prostate Biopsy.
Prostate Biopsy
A Prostate Biopsy lets doctors actually find out if there is anything wrong with your prostate. The test is done through the rectum, as this is the only way of getting to the Prostate. Small pieces are taken from the prostate gland and sent to the laboratory for testing.

Hero vs. Hero-Luke vs Ethan
Hero #1
Luke Dawson
Age 34
6'0 185 lbs
Blond hair, blue eyes
Architect-owns Dawson Contracting
Has been in love with his high school sweetheart-Victoria Mason forever. This holiday season, fate brings her home to Brookhollow and Luke is determined to make to remember how great life in the small town…life with him could be.
Favorite 'Luke Moment' in The Trouble With Mistletoe:
Shivering as a blast of cold rustled the thin football jersey, Victoria said, "No, Luke, wait."
He kept walking.
"I love you."
He paused, then continued walking.
"Didn't you hear me?" she asked, running the few feet to catch up to him and grabbing his arm.
"Yes, I heard you." He removed her hand from his arm.
Her heart sank. "And?" Did she dare hope he still wanted her, too?
"That's it?"
"Yes." That was huge.
Luke shrugged. "So? I've loved you since the second grade and look where it's gotten us. I wasn't the one who left Brookhollow two weeks before our wedding. I've always love you enough to put us first. You were the one who chose your career—twice."
"If that's true why didn't you fight for us?" Victoria demanded. "I may have left Brookhollow, but you didn't try to stop me." She rubbed her chilled arms for heat.
"Would it have worked?" he challenged her.
She hesitated. "I don't know."
"I do," Luke said, moving toward her. "You see, I've finally learned that there's no point chasing something already gone. Even if you'd stayed, your dream was New York."
Hero #2
Ethan Bishop
Age 28
6' 0 180 lbs
Brown hair, Brown eyes
He has been friends with Bailey Sheppard for so long that it is impossible to see her as anything but his cool chick, best friend, but when Bailey decides that she wants more than friendship from Ethan, he starts to see his friend in a whole new light…
Favorite 'Ethan Moment' in What A Girl Wants:
Moving toward her, he took the box from her and covered her hands with his. His grip tightened when she tried to pull away. "Bailey, for the first time in my life, I'm feeling something real, something exciting. I haven't been able to sleep or eat. My stomach turned at the mere notion of you with Adams...or anyone else for that matter." He paused. "Look at me, please." His voice was gentle as he lifted her chin. He rested his forehead against hers. "I'm falling for you, Bailey, and my biggest regret is not having realized how perfect, how beautiful, how strong and compassionate you are before now...when it's too late."
Pushing him away, Bailey backed up until her back hit the wooden shelf. She shook her head, avoiding his eyes. "No, Ethan, I'm sorry. I don't know what you think was happening between us...."
"Stop. You're a terrible liar." What was she saying? That she didn't have feelings for him? That was crap and they both knew it.
Touching her cheek, he wiped a tear away, but another fell in its place. "I'm sorry." The words were so empty, so meaningless. But they were all he had.
Her smile looked forced when her pained eyes met his. "You get her back. It was what you wanted."
"You think this is what I wanted?" She couldn't be more wrong.
"Please go now," she whispered, moving past him.
"Bailey, what do we do now?"
"The same thing we've always done."
"Can you do that?" he choked out.
"Maybe not today...or tomorrow, but eventually. Like you, I have no other choice. Bye, Ethan."

The Kayapo are an indigenous people in Brazil, from the plain islands of the Mato Grosso and Pará in Brazil, south of the Amazon Basin and along Rio Xingu and its tributaries. They call themselves "Mebengokre," which means "people of the wellspring." In 2010, there was an estimated 8,638 Kayapos. Subgroups include the Xikrin, Gorotire, Mekranoti and Metyktire. Their villages typically consist of a dozen huts.

Known as "the prehistoric Sistine Chapel," the Lascaux Caves, a cave complex in southwestern France, contain some of the most remarkable palaeolithic cave paintings in the world, from at least 15,000 years ago. The cave was discovered on 12 September 1940 by four teenagers, Marcel Ravidat, Jacques Marsal, Georges Agnel, and Simon Coencas, as well as Ravidat's dog, Robot. Public access was made easier after World War II. By 1955, the carbon dioxide produced by 1,200 visitors per day had visibly damaged the paintings. The cave was closed to the public in 1963 in order to preserve the art.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The budget deficit will drop below $1 trillion this year for the first time during Barack Obama's presidency, the Congressional Budget Office said on Tuesday, but it warned that debt will swell to unsustainable levels without further action by lawmakers.
CBO forecast that the deficit for fiscal 2013, which ends September 30, will shrink slightly to $845 billion after four straight years above $1 trillion. The reason is an improving economy and higher taxes paid by wealthy Americans.

Studios Pixar, Dreamworks, Illumination Entertainment, heck, even Disney and others, they all should watch their backs. Why? Because Laika, the studio behind such films as ParaNorman, The Boxtrolls and Coraline, has returned with a killer fourth offering, which might just be their most potent yet. The Travis Knight directed Kubo and the the Two Strings is here and it is just as strong as anything any of the aforementioned studios have produced. Laika may not be able to boast the lengthy filmography that some of the larger studios have, but when three of their four films have all been nominated for Academy Awards, whatever that means to anyone, especially when their fourth film seems more than poised to also snag a nomination, it says that Laika is that little-known studio worth looking into a bit more closely.
Set in ancient Japan, the story follows young Kubo (Art Parkinson) as he cares for his ill mother. Each day he goes down to the village to tell stories with origami characters to the townspeople. These are not merely any kind of stories, Kubo possesses magical abilities that allow him to bring these origami characters to life by playing his shamisen, a three-stringed instrument that operates much like a guitar. After a day of telling stories and entertaining everyone, Kubo is home before dark to hear adventure tales from his mother when she is lucid and seems to be more of herself.
When Kubo is attacked by his evil aunts (Rooney Mara), Kubo's life is turned upside down and soon he finds himself on a journey to search for the legendary armor in order to protect himself from his grandfather, the dreaded Moon King (Ralph Fiennes), who seeks to take away Kubo's eye. However, Kubo isn't alone. Along the way, he is joined by his companions Monkey (Charlize Theron) and Beetle (Matthew McConaughey), which is a very good thing because his magical abilities alone aren't enough; he needs all the help he can get if he is going to survive his adventure.
Kubo and the Two Strings is a quintessential Hero's Journey kind of tale. It is executed in a way that is unique, which makes it stand apart from similar films. Take its animation style for instance, a combination of painstaking stop-motion and computer generated imagery. It is as beautiful and as haunting as anything ever put to the silver screen, live-action or otherwise. From the grand movements of the water of a tumultuous sea to the more subtle bits of facial expressions, the rendering here is top-notch. Even more remarkable when considering the stop motion aspect. You know, the frame by frame situation. Imagine something like the smile of a character or the movement of an eyebrow. How long does it take for animators to create a simple movement that in real life is the result of neural messages sent by the brain and only takes a fraction of a second? Very, very long. It took about five years for the team behind Kubo to perfect the different aspects and it shows. It is clear that a great deal of love and care went into this project.
The set pieces are nothing to sneeze at either. Every set is expertly crafted and something to behold on the largest screen possible. Particularly, one that features an amazingly choreographed extended fight sequence on a boat made of leaves, another of a giant skeleton monster and another of a field of giant eyeballs that see into the soul. The colors are rich and vibrant, the landscapes are expansive and pretty in the daytime, and at night in dark spaces, the imagery can be downright scary. Bottom line, the visuals are lyrical and just plain gorgeous even at its most grim.
The film is a living, breathing creation with a sense of its own vibrancy and energy. It is like a child in that way, but within that, there also are examples of calm and introspection, like what happens when the child grows into an adult. The moments of quiet in this film are few but boy, do they matter. They are poignant and do just as much work as anything else in the film to evoke a feeling. The voice actors certainly help here too. Art Parkinson is effective as Kubo, while Charlize Theron and Matthew McConaughey provided sound support. In fact, the two played well off each other with a dash of tension that suggested more beneath the surface for these two characters. What was suggested worked much better than anything we might have been shown and this film is great at that. It gives its audience a great deal of credit in that way, thankfully.
The film is a commentary on memory and the power memories carry. It also examines the strength in a well-told story and how it makes us feel and think. Memories carry stories behind them along with the people associated with them and the film makes us look at all of that and what happens to us when those people are not around us anymore; how we deal with that. Kubo confronts the issue of death head-on and how we keep the memory of our loved ones alive through us. When we put all this together, we have something that feels like it might be a bit heavy, particularly for the younger audience members, but the movie has faith in itself and in its audience that we'll be taken by the story and that afterward we can hold on to the themes and feelings it brings forth for us. Laika has hit this one out of the park.

By stephanie reck
Dictionary.com defines belonging as something that belongs. I don't know your background, but did you get a sense that you belonged? The world and society says you only belong if you perform up to a certain standard. We can be insecure when we lack a sense of belonging.
You may have not known your parents, whether through adoption, abandonment, or death. You may have not been shown love, acceptance, or felt like you belonged. You may have experienced being bullied or ridiculed by your peers, and felt the sting of rejection by certain groups. You may have endured physical, emotional, or sexual abuse, and you have never felt like you belonged. You may struggled in school and not made the highest grades. You may have experienced being a teenage mother. You may have struggled with your health, and perhaps even been homebound. You may have come from a financially poor family, and struggled with trying to keep up. You may have a physical disability. You may struggle with your mental and emotional health.
A misfit does not quit fit into anyone class or group. There is a sense of not belonging.
I am a firm believer that attachment and belonging start in infancy and even in the womb. Our parents give us our first sense of belonging and acceptance as well as our image of God. Have you felt like you have never quit fit into a particular group? Have you searched for significance and belonging? I believe, that most girls/women and some men become promiscuous because they are longing to fill the void of belonging, attachment, and love. We see in our society every form of trying to fill the void of belonging and love, whether through gangs, cults, and even religion.
Psychologist, John Bowlby, introduced the attachment theory. Bowlby presents that when we are accepted by others we experience warmth and security, and by contrast when we experience rejection by others it can cause shame and anxiety. Bowlby's work included his theory on the relationship between infants and their caregivers. It was proposed that strong, secure attachments found in early years were associated with an individual's ability to form intimate trusting and emotionally secure relationships.
Psychologist, Abraham Maslow, introduced the "hierarchy of needs." Basically he formulated a pyramid with five levels of our basic needs, one of the five, he labels love and belonging. According to Maslow, humans need to feel a sense of belonging and acceptance among their social groups, including family and friends. Humans need to love and to be loved by others.
You may be thinking that you have not received that kind of love and belonging in your relationships, whether family, friendships, or others. As a child, I did not fit in and belong, and even as an adult I still have not found one particular group of people I can say I totally belong. Even though, I do belong to the Body of Christ, there are stills groups and cliques we form in the church. I am eclectic, a hodge-podge of various things, and I am not a typical "church girl." I don't like dresses, things that are "frou-frou," I don't come from a Christian heritage, I prefer to hang-out with people who are the misfits, and I have a prodigal son that I had as a teenager.
Maybe you are physically disabled, homebound, homeless, an orphan, a widow, a teenage mother, have no children, single, financially strapped, have health ailments, or even emotional issues. Maybe you have come from an environment that you did not feel loved and felt like you belonged. Maybe you were abused, abandoned, rejected, and tossed-aside. Maybe you were forgotten or misunderstood. Maybe you have always felt different. You are not alone. There are countless others, including myself, who have experienced these difficulties.
BUTReflect on these truths
You are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for His possession, that you may proclaim the excellences of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.
1 Peter 2:9
~ Don't compare yourselves to others.
For He chose us in Him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in His sight. In love, He predestined us to be adopted as His sons through Jesus Christ.
Ephesians 2:10
~ Know matter your family background, you have been adopted into the family of God.
God has a special place in His heart for misfits. God always had in His heart to take care of those who could not take care of themselves, the orphan, the widow, and the fatherless. Jesus did not just come for the powerful, the prosperous, or the religious, but Jesus came for the blind, the lame, the diseased, the dead, the hurting, the outcasts, and the sinners. Just look through the Bible and you can find numerous misfits God choose to use and redeem for His purposes. God is a redeemer that means whatever your losses have been, He will rectify them. Abraham and Sarah, a childless couple, God chose to make a great nation though them. Moses, had a speech impediment and was a murderer, yet God still used him. The disciples were misfits, tax collectors, fisherman, and just commonplace. Rahab, the prostitute, obviously a misfit, was used by God and was seen as faithful. Naomi, a widow and, and bitter because of her circumstances; God sent her a kinsmen-redeemer, and she was used mightily with her daughter-in-laws.
God still uses misfits today! If you are a misfit, you can rejoice that God has a special plan and purpose for your life. If you are a believer in Jesus Christ, you belong to God's family. Though you may have been rejected by people or may have not felt accepted; you are accepted and loved by God.

The Aaron Kuder Interview 2: Finding the Balance
Last week I began my interview with soon-to-be-a-big-deal-artist Aaron Kuder. We talked about his start in the industry and the role of the message board drawing competitions, and this week, we wrap up our discussion by talking about some of his specific work for BOOM!, DC and Marvel and what's coming in the future.
But first, we pick up where we left off — on the cliffhanger — as Kuder talks about receiving the phone call from Chris Burnham that would force him to make a decision. A decision that would change his life.
Tim Callahan: So Burnham calls you up and says he wants to throw your name in as an artist to fill in for him on a series — on "Amory Wars" — and you had to stop and think about that?
Aaron Kuder: Yeah, well, I had a full time job as an electrician, with health benefits and everything, and I had to decide whether or not to give that up to draw a comic book for four months.
So that was the choice? You didn't think, "I can still draw this on the side while working as an electrician?"
If I had two or three months lead time, I could have kept my job and drawn that, maybe. But I didn't have that.
You just had to jump right in…
I think I had two days to decide.
And you go around to your friends and your family and you try to ask them to help you weigh the pros and the cons, and I think there was only one person that did not say, "Duh!" And that was my dad.
He was probably thinking, "Okay, four months drawing a comic, and then what?"
And he's a health economics professor at Cornell…
Well, there you go! [Laughs]
He's the practical one. So I took [the "Amory Wars" gig], and as the project was wrapping up I was scared out of my mind.
Did you have anything lined up as the project was wrapping up at all?
Nibbles, but nothing definite. I mean, who picks up a book halfway through a series and thinks, "Hey, I want that guy?" Just because I had drawn the last four issues of "Amory Wars" didn't prove I had the chops to make it in the industry on any level. Fortunately the folks at Boom! and Evil Ink didn't think that way and they hired me on for "The Key of Z."
Did that follow pretty much on the heels of "Amory Wars?" You didn't have a big gap in between the two projects?
No, it was actually the perfect gap. I wrapped up "Amory Wars," I moved from Arkansas to New York and by the time the move was over, I was ready to go with "Key of Z" issue #1.
Let's talk about "The Key of Z," a bit. It's an action, thriller, zombie apocalypse kind of thing. Was your approach on that any different than your approach to "Amory Wars?" Did you change anything stylistically going into that?
I don't know that I yet feel comfortable saying that I'm going for a particular style or anything like that.
So would you say that you visualize what the script says, and then you draw what you visualize.
Yeah, I really try to focus on the characters, the mood, the environment and how I would see them formed. Only recently have I started to look at a page and say, "Okay, here's an overall design." Or, "This is more doable than that." Or try to find the middle ground between three all-nighters and three days' work.
I'm struck by your approach, in your "Key of Z" work, and in your issue of "Legion Lost," which we'll get to in a minute — and maybe they aren't interesting choices from your point of view because that's how you see it all in your mind — but there are interesting choices about what you choose to emphasize on given pages. You don't always choose to emphasize the big action. It seems that the worlds in which your characters exist sometimes have as much emphasis as the giant leaping pose, or whatever.
Yeah, the thing that got me to fall in love with comics was the environmental aspect. That's definitely something that Art Adams brings to the mix. And also [Grzegorz RosiÅ"ski's] Thorgal books. That's something that a lot of European comics do. They emphasize the environment and the mood and the action is…there…but it's not any more important than anything else.
While the tradition in American comics, to go back to the influential Jack Kirby approach, is to figure out the big huge action piece and then draw the rest of the page around that. But you're not even thinking that way. You think of a piece of action as part of an entire landscape.
Right. The goal for me is to illustrate the story. If the story is all about action, and a lot of the story in "Legion Lost" was a lot of action — and there I emphasize action as it comes — but with "Key of Z," the action became less important as the story progressed. It was much more about the characters and the mood and where they were coming from, and what motivated them. That's really where that comes from.
How do create that in the landscape? How do you reflect their emotional state? What are some choices you find yourself making as you go through that process?
It's kind of like being a cinematographer. You look at lighting. At what little details of an environment are going to give you — if you're on somebody's porch or hanging out in their backyard, what are the little details of that backyard that are going to tell you more about their personality than, say, their t-shirt.
Do you find yourself adding and subtracting details as you're composing the picture, or does it come fully-formed when you're thinking about the overall image of what it should look like.
It's an organic process. I might have something drawn out in the roughs, but the main goal is, when I'm drawing it, to re-analyze myself as I go.
There's a page in "Key of Z" where the main character is knocking off a zombie's head with a baseball bat, and in the background is New York City — a post-apocalyptic New York City — but as I draw the buildings, I think about what the buildings have gone through in the last five years. Where fires broke out. Or where a family was kept in an apartment for a long time, waiting for help. So the background stories are just as important for all that.
As someone who reads a lot of mainstream American comics, I don't often feel that the backgrounds have that much thought, so it's interesting that you say that. Because your work feels like — the backgrounds seem like part of the story, in an essential way.
Thanks. I try.
Okay, tell me about "Legion Lost." How did you end up getting that gig and what was the challenge of taking that single issue on?
One of my editors at BOOM! was friends with some of the guys at DC, and I think he was just boasting about me, and DC contacted me. It turned out to be a fill-in issue for "Legion Lost."
Had you been familiar with the Legion, or did you have to go back and research a bunch of costumes and everything?
I don't think anyone could be thrown into a Legion book and not have to do a lot of costume research. "Legion Lost," in particular, doesn't have a whole army of characters, but the rest of the Legion does. It can get pretty complicated.
I'm kind of glad it wasn't the main "Legion" book I was asked to do.
It was nice just to step in and do a few of the characters.
Exactly. Well, one of the cooler aspects of doing that book was that I got to design a good percent of the new villains. Yeah, coming into my first DC book, with writer Tom DeFalco — who was awesome, that guy is golden — the script was Marvel-style, so we really had a lot of back-and-forth about what we wanted to add or take away, and I really felt like I was part of the story process.
Are any of the characters you designed going to be part of that "Culling" crossover or whatever DC has in the works?
I don't know if any of my characters will. I think that Psykill guy, the big cyborg, droopy-face guy, I think he's part of "The Culling." I don't know if any of the side characters are. But they were fun to design.
You also have your upcoming short arc on "Avenging Spider-Man" coming out in a few months. Anything else between now and then?
A cover for "Legion Lost" #11, which I also got to design the bad guys for.
Can you talk at all about "Avenging Spider-Man," or is that still top secret stuff?
I can talk a little bit about it. Kevin Shinick is writing it, and I'm not sure if I'm supposed to divulge the other character who's in it. But I will say that this book has been a fanboy dream come true.
How so?
I get to draw the craziest, zaniest, whacked-out stuff. Basically, at least for the first issue, anything that I can think of, I can draw in there. Spider-Ham makes an appearance.
No way. Really?
Yup. Well, if I can draw anything in a book, Spider-Ham will be there.
Looks like you've accomplished your dream, then.
Right. Where do I go from here?
Was there any particular Spider-Man artist that you looked back at? I know a lot of people can have trouble drawing Spider-Man, and have to key in on a previous interpretation to figure out how to approach it. How did you approach the character?
Yeah, that's totally a mountain. When Marvel comes to you and says, "We want you to draw Spider-Man." The first thought that comes is, "Woo-hoo!" and the second is, "Oh, my God — everybody else who I've ever loved that draws comics has completely mastered this guy, and what else can I bring to it?"
I started really reading Spider-Man when Todd McFarlane drew it, and the way that McFarlane could manipulate his body and show him in all these contorted, crazy poses — I tried to channel that a little bit. I'm also a huge fan of John Romita, Jr.'s work and the way that he could also contort a body, but could also make you feel like you can see the curve of the spine, or the flex of a stretched-out muscle.
So you tried to balance between those two takes on the character.
Yeah. And that, again, goes back to my love for Art Adams. Finding that balance between what it would look like in reality and, let's face it, we're drawing comic books here. Let's make it fun as possible!

BBC journalists due to strike in July over jobs
Journalists at the BBC are to hold two 24-hour strikes on 15 and 29 July over compulsory redundancies, the National Union of Journalists (NUJ) has said.
Last month, its members voted to take industrial action after bosses dismissed a World Service journalist on the grounds of compulsory redundancy.
The NUJ urged the BBC to conduct the redundancy process in "a humane way".
The BBC said it was "disappointed" by the action which could affect news on radio, television and the website.
In the ballot, just under 40% of union members voted, with 72% saying they would be prepared to strike.
'Humane and fair'
A small number of people working in the World Service and BBC Monitoring were facing compulsory redundancy this summer, the NUJ said.
Union general secretary Michelle Stanistreet said: "We know that there are hundreds of people who want to leave the BBC and who have been denied that chance.
"Yet at the same time people are now being targeted and forced out of the door. We merely want the BBC to manage the redundancy process in a humane and fair way."
The BBC's director of operations Lucy Adams said the number of posts had to be reduced by 387 following significant cuts to central government grants supporting the World Service and BBC Monitoring.
'Impossible to avoid'
She said: "We continue to do all we can to mitigate the number of compulsory redundancies by offering voluntary redundancy and redeploying staff elsewhere.
"However the number of posts that we are having to close means that unfortunately it is likely to be impossible for us to avoid some compulsory redundancies."
Both the BBC and the NUJ said they hoped to avert action through talks.
BBC journalists went on strike last November over planned changes to their pensions.

How Mediation Works
How Mediation Works
During mediation, people in conflict make an effort to find resolution with the assistance of a team of trained co-mediators. You will meet at a time and place convenient for everyone, often a community room or classroom, or a conference room at a local nonprofit agency. The mediators will help by clarifying communication, exploring options, and keeping the conversation focussed. Everyone will have time to tell her or his story and participate in discussion. The idea is to work toward an agreement that all parties can live with.
Mediation is:
- Voluntary: The decision to participate is 100% yours
- Effective: You'll work out your own agreements with a neutral mediator's help
- Informal: No official proceedings — just plain talk
- Quick: Mediation usually starts within a week or two of your call and takes just a few hours
- Satisfying: You'll tell your story and help find a solution
- Confidential: Everything you say in mediation is private and "stays in the room"
- Affordable: Our services are low-cost
In mediation, decisions are made by you and the other people in the session, often eliminating the need for costly, time-consuming court involvement. Mediators are neutral and impartial. They do not make decisions — they help you find your own solutions.
A success story: Eviction avoided
We helped a landlord and tenant in Augusta mediate a conflict about overdue rent with the tenants on the verge of eviction. The landlord was so pleased with our results that she negotiated a new rental agreement with the tenants and then held mediations with other tenants in his buildings as well.
A success story: Friendship regained
A deal between three Maine businesspeople went so badly that all three felt cheated out of their money and at first refused to sit in the same room. In mediation, it became clear that the real repair work they needed was in their relationship. In the end, they walked out shaking hands and joking — friends again.
A success story: Parents doing it right
An unmarried couple in Portland had a four-month-old baby. Even though they no longer wanted to live together, they needed help figuring out how to work together for the sake of their child. They came to mediation to learn how to communicate better with each other and makearrangements for co-parenting. They resolved their tough issues — and came to an agreement that they would dedicate themselves to their child's wellbeing.
A success story: Farm disaster averted
When a Maine farm had financial losses, the family's good reputation let them get a bank loan. But the farmer saw he wouldn't earn enough in the coming year to make the payments.With our help, the farmer and the bank developed a solution that let the farmer pay the loan while the bank preserved a valuable customer.
