The archetype for sultans in the Islamic tradition is Solomon. His magnificence, justice and gifts have inspired countless narratives in Arabic, Turkish and Persian in both literature and history.
According to the Quran, Solomon is a divinely appointed monarch employed as a legitimacy model for all those who claimed to be sultan by godly decision. Many Muslim monarchs were referred to by their fellow propagandists as "the shadows of God on earth."
Thus, the fact that Sultan Selim I, who was involved in a power struggle with the Safavid dynasty of Persia, named his only surviving son Süleyman, the Turkish version of the name, is meaningful. Süleyman I was born to become the magnificent sultan of the Ottoman Empire, which was then the rising sun of Anatolia with territory on the three continents of Europe, Asia and Africa.
The lawgiver or the magnificent
Süleyman is known as "the lawgiver" in the Middle East due to his attempts to transform law and order in Ottoman legal and administrative systems and as "the magnificent" in the West because the richness of the Ottoman Empire in his time. He ruled from 1520 to 1566. He was the 10th and longest-ruling Ottoman sultan.
Historians mention two birth dates for Süleyman. Some think that he was born on Nov. 4, 1494 while others claim his real birth date is April 29, 1495. However, the place of Süleyman's birth is known. He was born in Trabzon on the Black Sea coast, as his father Selim I was governor of the province.
Süleyman's mother, Ayşe Hafsa Sultan, was the daughter of Menli Giray of the Crimea Khanate. Being noble on both sides and the only son of Selim, Süleyman was a direct heir to the Ottoman throne.
Early life and education
At age seven, Süleyman was sent to Enderun, which was the highest-level school in Topkapı Palace in Istanbul, to learn along with the sons of top bureaucrats. Enderun was like an imperial college for the Ottomans. Süleyman is known to have studied the sciences, Islam, literature and poetry, history and strategy. He became fluent in six languages: Ottoman, Arabic, Serbian, Chaghatai, Persian and Urdu. Süleyman's tutors noted both his studious nature and his bravery from an early age.
Therefore, he should have been one of the best-educated persons of his time. He would show this both in war and peace time because he was not only an invincible conqueror, but also a good poet. During his reign he welcomed scientists, Islamic scholars and many artists and poets to the palace.
Süleyman had such a winning personality that he established friendships with many geniuses in his empire, including Sheikh al-Islam Ebussuud Efendi, the poet Baki Efendi, the great architect Mimar Sinan and Admiral Piri Reis who were all known as masters of their crafts.
Before and after accession
Süleyman returned to Trabzon at 15 before he was appointed as governor of Kefe province. He was also a governor in two other provinces, Manisa and Edirne (Adrianople).
Selim died in 1520 and Süleyman ascended to the throne without any objection. Unlike his father and grandfather, Süleyman did not have to deal with any other claimants to the throne. He was left a great empire that spanned three continents.
Selim had ruled very successfully and left his son in a remarkably secure position. The janissaries were at the height of their usefulness, the Mamluks had been defeated and the Ottomans had humbled the maritime power of Venice as well as the Safavid Empire. Selim also left his son a powerful navy, a first for an Ottoman ruler.
Süleyman is said to have greatly admired Alexander the Great and wanted to establish a world empire like Alexander. He showed no hesitation when starting a military campaign in his first year on the throne. In 1521, Süleyman and the invincible Ottoman army began marching over Europe. In August 1521, Süleyman captured Belgrade, which was like a bridge for his later conquests in Central Europe.
Conquest of Central Europe
Süleyman is known to have led 13 major military campaigns and spent about 10 years at war during his 46-year reign.
After the conquest of Belgrade, Süleyman defeated the Hospitallers, who pirated Ottoman ships from their position on the island of Rhodes. He sent a powerful navy and conquered Rhodes in 1522.
In 1526, a great battle was fought in the Mohac basin between the Ottoman and Hungarian armies. Süleyman defeated Louis II of Hungary. Louis was
killed on the battlefield. After that, Süleyman backed John Zapolyo for the Hungarian throne. However, the Hapsburgs attacked Hungary and put Ferdinand on the throne.
In 1529, Süleyman once more marched over Hungary, took Buda back and besieged Vienna, the Hapsburg capital. The city survived, and Süleyman ended the siege. The Hapsburg-Ottoman wars continued for years, yielding no significant victory for either side.
Conquest of 'the two Iraqs'
There were two Iraqs for the Ottomans: Persian Iraq, which is now mostly Iran, and Arabian Iraq. Süleyman marched on these two Iraqs between 1533 and 1536 to overcome the Safavid threat from the east. Eventually, Süleyman conquered Baghdad and Tabriz.
Süleyman's admirals conquered many places in the Persian Gulf and the Mediterranean. The Ottoman Empire was warring and competing with the other global sea powers of the East and the West, including the Mughals, the Portuguese and the Hapsburgs. Ottoman conquests reached Indonesia to the east and Tunis to the west.
A very sad event occurred in 1553. For political reasons, Süleyman had his son Mustafa executed by suffocation. This was the first time people began murmuring about grand viziers, great commanders and the sultan himself during. Yahya, an epic poet and a janissary, even wrote an elegy for Shahzadeh Mustafa, which blames the grand vizier for the execution.
Hürrem, İbrahim and death of a sultan
Süleyman's relations with Hurrem, one of his consorts, and İbrahim, the grand vizier, have been subjects of great curiosity. Since both were of Christian origin and converted to Islam, some people for some conspiracy in Hurrem or İbrahim. Historical facts show that Süleyman loved Hurrem and protected her, and he was good with İbrahim to some extent. However, he was strict in his absolute rule. Hurrem was dearest to him, and İbrahim was his best advisor, yet he showed no hesitation to have İbrahim executed, as his policy required. And if Ottoman tradition allowed executing the sultan's consort for political reasons, Süleyman certainly would not have hesitated in doing that either.
Süleyman saw many things during his reign, but the worst I suppose was to see his sons executed, one by himself and one by another son. He had Mustafa executed, and Selim had Bayezid executed. Old age brought Süleyman more sorrow than joy.
Süleyman, the magnificent and the lawgiver, died on Sept. 5, 1566 during a military campaign in Hungary. Grand Vizier Sokollu Mehmet Pasha kept his death secret in order not to affect the morale of the janissaries who were to conquer an important castle.
Sultan Süleyman I lived and died a great warrior.

A time zone is a region of the globe that observes a uniform

When well-regulated mechanical clocks became widespread in the early 19th century,[1] each city began to use local
Local solar time became increasingly inconvenient as rail transport and telecommunications improved, because clocks differed between places by amounts corresponding to the differences in their geographical longitudes, which varied by four minutes of time for every degree of longitude. For example,
The first adoption of a standard time was on December 1, 1847, in Great Britain by
Improvements in worldwide communication further increased the need for interacting parties to communicate mutually comprehensible time references to one another. The problem of differing local times could be solved across larger areas by synchronizing clocks worldwide, but in many places that adopted time would then differ markedly from the solar time to which people were accustomed.
On November 2, 1868, the then British colony of New Zealand officially adopted a standard time to be observed throughout the colony, and was perhaps the first country to do so. It was based on the longitude 172°30′ East of
Timekeeping on the American railroads in the mid-19th century was somewhat confused. Each railroad used its own standard time, usually based on the local time of its headquarters or most important terminus, and the railroad's train schedules were published using its own time. Some junctions served by several railroads had a clock for each railroad, each showing a different time.[5]
The zones were named Intercolonial, Eastern, Central, Mountain, and Pacific. Within a year 85% of all cities with populations over 10,000, about 200 cities, were using standard time.[8] A notable exception was Detroit (which is about halfway between the meridians of eastern time and central time) which kept local time until 1900, then tried Central Standard Time,
The first known person to conceive of a worldwide system of time zones was the Italian mathematician
Scottish-born Canadian Sir
By about 1900, almost all time on Earth was in the form of standard time zones, only some of which used an hourly offset from GMT. Many applied the time at a local astronomical observatory to an entire country, without any reference to GMT. It took many decades before all time on Earth was in the form of time zones referred to some "standard offset" from GMT/UTC. By 1929, most major countries had adopted hourly time zones.
Today, all nations use standard time zones for secular purposes, but they do not all apply the concept as originally conceived.

Did you know that according to statistics, we spend a third of our lives in bed? Admittedly, some of us probably spend way more than that, but this is on average. Naturally, this means that when it comes to choosing the right bed, you need to be quite picky and vigilant about your choice. You will come across a variety of options of all shapes, sizes and colours, but so long as you are armed with the right information, selecting one out of so many will not be as hard as it seems. If you are new to bed shopping overall, no need to stress. You'll get the hang of it soon enough.
Visit Stores in Person
We know that online shopping is probably what you have your mind on and we cannot say we blame you. The thought of avoiding all those swarms of shoppers, salespeople and harsh store lights is indeed tempting. However, this is not conducive when shopping for a bed at all. In fact, we advise against it. You should visit different stores in person. This is the best way to test the beds out for yourself, see what they look like and ask for information in person as opposed to deciphering a picture.
Consider Storage Beds
If you have a sprawling mansion or something close to it, wellgood for you, you can move right onto the next point since we are positive this one will not be of any use to you. Those who are struggling with space right now though,will want to listen up. Most houses today tend to be limited on space, and so people now need to be more resourceful and think of ways in which they can utilize this space as much as possible. Which is where options like storage beds come into play. They are efficient and multi-functional, and can be found anywhere, including that mattress sale auckland for instance.
Consider Your Health
Well, back support mainly. Chronic back pain is more rampant than ever, and more and more people are looking for a way to relieve themselves of it, and prevent it from ever cropping up in the first place. Hence, when you are shopping for a bed, be sure to let the salespeople know that you want something that is good for your back. They would typically recommend spring or slat beds, so you need not be too confused about what you want to look for.
Buy a Mattress Too
When buying a bed, you should also look at buying a mattress. If you have just bought one then you would want to obviously look at using the same, which you should if you can. However, some mattresses are better suited for specific beds, like slat beds and foam mattresses or spring beds and spring mattresses. Mattresses also last a long time provided you opt for something fairly good, and so you should not only take care of them, but consider buying one an investment. Take your time with it.

Allergy Safe DogsDogs for People with Allergies
Are you allergic to dogs? If so, you may yearn for an allergy safe dog companion but feel there is no way you can be a dog owner. Contrary to popular belief there are some dogs that don't aggravate allergies. They are perfect for anyone who has allergies or sensitivity to dog hair or dander. One of the most popular breeds of dog is the Poodle. Poodles come in sizes from toy to standard, and are one of the most intelligent dogs found anywhere. They don't shed, and don't aggravate dog allergies.
Another good choice for people with allergies is the Schnauzer. This dog comes in Miniature, Standard and Giant size. These dogs have wiry coats that are also non-irritating to allergies. These dogs, like poodles, require periodic grooming to keep their coats in good shape.
The Kerry Blue Terrier has a soft coat that is not wiry, yet does not shed much and is known to be a solution for those who are allergic to dogs.
Another breed to consider is the elegant and adorable Maltese. The Maltese has a coat that grows long, silky fur but rarely sheds. Maltese dogs also don't have much dander.
Chinese crested hairless dogs are also ideal for people with dog allergies. These dogs aren't the most beautiful canine in the world but they have their own special charm.
If you want a small dog like a Chinese crested or Maltese you might also like the Bichon Frise. These little white dogs have puffy coats that require frequent grooming but don't shed or produce a lot of dander either.
The best thing for someone with pet allergies to do is to research the breed that they want, then visit these dogs to ensure that they are truly suitable for you.

An Amazing Day
This morning we woke up to a wonderful breakfast of scrambled eggs, home fries, and oranges. Next we had our daily watch meetings and answered a leadership prompt.
This was followed by our Oceans and Society class where we learned about the triangular triads, European expansion, and the Niger delta. We also learned about two activists, Olaudah Equiano and Ken Saro-Wiwa, and how to see things in different perspectives. Primarily, how trade affects the counter IRS and people who manufacture goods not consume them.
Later, after lunch, we went the the WHOI Geology lab at the Quisset campus. At the WHOI Geology lab, researchers are currently studying ancient sediment samples, called cores, in hopes of discovering signs of strong storms or hurricanes. With these findings, researchers hope to be able to detect future hurricanes and the impact they could have on the environment.
Finally, we had a pizza movie night and watched Finding Dori and The Emperor's New Groove. It was an amazing day, full of once in a lifetime experiences, and we all look forward to the events planned in the next couple of days!

Seventh Circuit Deflates Scabby the Rat's Ego and What It Means for Employers
Posted: March 4, 2019
"Scabby the Rat" reared its inflatable rodent head last month in the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit (Wis., et al).
On Feb. 14, 2019, the appellate court held that a Grand Chute, Wisconsin zoning ordinance banning all private signs on public rights-of-way permitted town officials to order Local 330 of the Construction and General Laborers' Union to deflate the labor icon without violating the union's First Amendment rights. This ruling creates a glimmer of hope for employers in what has otherwise been a frustrating and ineffective battle to curb an annoying union tactic.
Scabby the Rat, dubbed after unions' disparaging term "scab" to describe strikebreakers, is an inflatable cartoon rat ranging between 6 and 30 feet tall, utilized by unions to publicize disputes with employers. The rat was first spotted in 1990. Scabby has its own Facebook page and Twitter account, and has even crossed oceans to participate in labor-management disputes at an oil refinery in Scotland and a brewery in Australia.
No stranger to litigation, Scabby has survived employer attempts to eradicate union inflatables on the grounds that the rodent constitutes unlawful picketing, an unlawful secondary boycott, or violates local zoning laws. The National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) prohibits conduct found to "threaten, coerce, or restrain" a secondary employer not directly involved in a primary labor dispute, if the object of that conduct is to cause the secondary to cease doing business with the primary employer. The National Labor Relations Board (Board) and federal courts have long issued rulings holding that inflatables like Scabby fall on the non-coercive side of the spectrum, along with stationary handbilling, and/or are symbolic speech protected by the First Amendment.
For instance, in Sheet Metal Workers Local #15 (Brandon Regional Hospital), 356 N.L.R.B. 1290, 190 LRRM 1377 (N.L.R.B. 2011), the Board found a mock funeral staged by the union in front of a hospital was coercive, but declined to address the legality of the accompanying rat balloon display. However, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit reversed the Board, holding that the mock funeral, complete with faux coffin and Grim Reaper in costume, was not coercive. On remand, the Board found that Scabby, stationary and silent, was not coercive. Clearly, labor strife must come with a thick skin.
Grand Chute took another approach. The municipal zoning enforcement officer ordered Local 330 to take down Scabby and his pal "Fat Cat" (another beloved union inflatable that depicts a snarling cat symbolizing management) from outside a car dealership, where a masonry company working at the dealership was alleged to be paying substandard wages and benefits. The union had placed the rat directly across from the dealership, along the frontage road for a major local thoroughfare, as union members engaged in informational picketing.
The Seventh Circuit affirmed U.S. District Judge William C. Griesbach's conclusions that the town's signage ordinance was content-neutral, protected the town's interest in keeping public ways clear and distraction-free, left the union with alternate means to communicate its message, and was applied in an even-handed manner. Notably, the zoning officer successfully distinguished the Fire Department's folding easel, also placed on a public right-of-way, and used to advertise the Department's "Fill the Boot" campaign for the Muscular Dystrophy Association arguing that the easel was not a "sign" because it was not tethered to the ground. The Seventh Circuit accepted this argument, and held enforcement of the ordinance against Scabby did not violate the union's constitutional rights.
Employers facing union demonstrations should consider consulting with local authorities regarding inflatables or other displays placed on public rights-of-way, to determine whether they violate facially neutral and regularly enforced local regulations. But employers should not consider Scabby exterminated just yet, even if their municipality has applicable content-neutral ordinances. The municipality may not have enforced the ordinance as "systematic[ally]" as did Grand Chute's zoning officer, who testified he removed approximately 150 signs per year between 2016-2018. Application of a facially neutral ordinance can result in First Amendment violations if enforced in a disparate manner. That means towns that ignore the ordinance when it comes to birthday or holiday inflatables will be hard-pressed to deflate Scabby.
Other federal courts reviewing like ordinances have come down in Scabby's favor. For example, the Sixth Circuit in Tucker v. City of Fairfield, 398 F.3d 457 (6th Cir. 2005), issued a preliminary injunction barring enforcement of an ordinance prohibiting "structures" in a public right of way against Scabby. Judicial constraints aside, on a practical level, a municipality may be reluctant to intervene in a labor dispute, depending on the local political climate. Scabby may even be back to fight another day in Grand Chute, which subsequently amended its ordinance to include an exception for inflatables. The court found no ripe controversy over the amended ordinance. This is not the last we will see of Scabby. Rats.

Fire bricks are used in high-temperature settings such as furnaces, kilns, and manufacturing facilities. They are preferred due to their thermal conductivity. Furthermore, they are ideal for reducing the amount of energy used.
Here's a guide intended to help you select the best insulation firebrick for your specific needs. #TFL #TFLHouston Click To Tweet
How Can You Choose the Best Insulation Bricks?
The type of bricks that will work best for you is entirely dependent on your intended application. Here are three types and what they're used for:
- Super-Duty Firebricks
- High-Alumina Firebrick
- Insulating Firebrick
1) Super-Duty Firebricks
Super-duty firebricks are used for thermal insulation in higher temperatures. Many super-duty firebricks are made from a very durable and heat resistant material such as silica. Various kinds of super-duty are used in industrial settings such as the glass and steel industry.
2) High-Alumina Firebrick
High-alumina firebricks are a great choice due to their resistance to corrosion and their performance in high-temperature furnaces. They're used in various applications like in and around blast furnaces, cement, lime, ceramic kilns, and glass tanks.
Pro Tip: High-alumina firebricks are commonly used in refinery, chemical, and refractory industries.
3) Insulating Firebrick
Insulating firebricks are lighter weight and used in lower temperatures. They don't absorb the heat like other refractory bricks. However, they can be used around furnaces to trap the heat in.
Selecting the Right Firebrick
No matter the application, it's critical to select the best insulation brick for your project. While this guide may help you in selecting the ideal brick, you should always speak with a professional to ensure you're using the appropriate firebrick.
Are you looking for insulation bricks? Join the conversation to speak with an expert about which one will work best for your application.

As I droned on and on after the NFC Championships game about all the ways I hate Richard Sherman and all the ways I find Seahawks fans to be obnoxious, she cut me off to remind me that all sports fans are obnoxious by their very nature.

It was a dump but the best we could find. We woke late each morning, put on our jerseys, and caught a cab to the French Quarter. It was Halloween for adults, men in costume, dressed as other men, walking along Bourbon Street in packs, yammering and slugging back Hurricanes. But in the bloated, over expanded, Jordan and post Jordan NBA, we became used to the idea that to succeed a team needed one great player, (your Jordan) a stellar second banana (Pippen to Jordan, or Robin to Batman) and a host of role players.

Al Davis would have been proud of what his team did yesterday. After all, he was a diciple of one thing, and one thing only. Something Charlie Sheen would know something about, Winning. As I said in a previous post, someday in the not too distant future, having a jersey sponsor will be the price of admission in MLS, rather than a happy bonus.

Can help put think the minor hockey player who skated out with the team is feeling a bit ripped off. He was a goalie. And Roberto Luongo got the night off.

Hydrogen is, atomically speaking, number one. It comes first in the periodic table, it's the lightest of elements and it's the most abundant element in the universe. Its unique properties have long fueled flight in rockets and air balloons. Now, through fuel cell technology, it is increasingly being used to power other modes of transport, such as cars and buses.
However, the potential of hydrogen as fuel stretches far greater than transport – and the power generation industry is now turning its attention toward using the element, alongside other renewables and natural gas, to quickly and efficiently move toward a hydrogen-powered world.
Fueling the future
While the ultimate goal should be to power the world entirely through renewable energy, power generation in the near future will require crafting an energy mix environmentally friendly, versatile and stable enough to begin the progression toward a carbon-neutral society.
Power plants operating on fossil fuels are a leading source of global carbon dioxide emissions, posing a challenge to the efforts to decarbonize. Thankfully, hydrogen can be burnt and used in existing power plants as a lower-impact substitute. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, electric vehicles and power operations running on hydrogen emit warm air and water vapor as exhaust, thereby making hydrogen carbon-neutral and highly efficient.
Adopting hydrogen as a fuel could also extend the operating lives of coal and gas power plants, enabling power operations to continue as new renewables solutions enter the market. This strategy has two benefits: preventing decommissioning due to national or regional decarbonization and renewables policies, and creating a transitional source of energy that lowers the carbon footprint of these plants.
At Vattenfall's Magnum power plant in Groningen, the Netherlands, Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems is working to turn the owner's 'Carbon-Free Gas Power' project into a reality, starting with operationalizing one of the three gas turbines to combust only hydrogen by 2024. The hydrogen needed will be produced by reforming Norwegian natural gas, and the resulting CO2 from that process will be captured and stored in natural caverns.
Powerful potential
In addition, MHPS has also successfully tested the burning of a stable fuel mix of 30 percent hydrogen with natural gas in a large-scale gas turbine, which reduced its CO2 emissions by 10 percent. This was a major step towards achieving 100 percent hydrogen combustion, but further enhancement is still needed.
Hydrogen can also be generated through electrolysis rather than by utilizing natural gas as a source. The electrolysis process requires only pure water and electricity. So long as the electricity needed in the process is generated from renewable resources, producing hydrogen in this way would be carbon neutral.
Generating hydrogen by electrolysis could also offer an efficient alternative to batteries for storing surplus power from renewables. This solves one of the key challenges of renewable energy sources: since the power they produce is intermittent and cannot be turned on and off, it does not always meet demand.
Developing interest
Despite technical advances, the sector's evolution depends to a large extent on national and regional policies – and globally, experts are raising strategies that create progress in hydrogen power.
Mission Innovation, a global initiative of 23 countries, and the European Union launched its Renewable and Clean Hydrogen Innovation Challenge in May 2018 as part of its commitment to dramatically accelerate global clean energy innovation. This has prompted more cooperation from governments around the world; several national governments have even published their own hydrogen strategies, signaling their commitment to the renewable. The EU and some other countries such as Japan are also committing investment funds to developing hydrogen for both power generation and transport applications.
The transition to hydrogen in a single plant in the Netherlands could reduce annual CO2 emissions by 1.3 million tons each year. Imagine the impact of international efforts, in both the public and private sectors, to use hydrogen as a replacement energy source. If the world is to reach zero carbon emissions before 2040, popularizing the use of hydrogen fuel worldwide is a key step in that process.

Disney Crying, the Sequel! Does this apply to you?
Re-post in case you missed it! ~M
Awhile back I wrote a blog about being a Disney crier. What I meant by that, is that it's sometimes hard to control emotions when it comes to all things Disney. For example…. songs, shows, movies…. you get the idea. At the time, I had a lot of people chime in to agree with that sentiment, I surely wasn't alone. Fast forward to present day, I've found myself still having those darn crying issues, it doesn't fade! Let's discuss!
Last year when the fan favorite fireworks show, Wishes, was retiring from the Magic Kingdom, hearts broke everywhere. Mine included. I knew that going to see the show for the last time would cause crying, and low and behold, it sure did. I stood there with my sons, one on each arm, and sobbed. Wishes was part of their childhood, part of our first Disney memories with bringing the kids to the parks. It stung my heart for sure. Then I thought, would Happily Ever After stir up emotions? It can't, not like Wishes. So, the night the new show made it's debut, I was doing a live feed in the media area for our Facebook page, and I was ready to see if Happily Ever After would deliver. Within a few minutes, I was watching the comments on the live feed, and people were asking if I was crying. They could hear me sniffing. How funny is that? They knew it was going to hit once the Tangled lanterns appeared, and they were spot on. Tears, full on tears. Thanks Disney, you got me again. A few weeks ago, we were making adjustments to our YouTube channel, and we watched Wishes on the tv to see it better. Crying ensued. The next video played and it was Happily Ever After…. and I got choked up AGAIN. What is wrong with me? No matter how many times I see my Disney favorites, they still get me right in the feels. Down to my soul. I can't be the only one, can I?
Last summer, Disney got me again. Part of the festivities included the symphony orchestra playing to beloved Pixar movie scenes over at Hollywood Studios. True Disney fans can relate certain movies, songs, etc to instances in their own lives, we get it. The orchestra played to the scene near the beginning of Up that told Carl and Ellie's story. There's a scene in there that I have a hard time watching now because of what's happened in our family. Hearing that beautiful music playing loudly to such an emotional part of the film, oh my. Ugly crying happened, the worst kind. Thank God I had napkins in my purse. I didn't go back to watch the show again because I knew I couldn't handle it, at least I know my limits. Speaking of movies….
We put out the new trailer this week for the live action version of Dumbo, which will be out next year. Do you remember that old game show, Name that Tune? "I can name that tune in 2 notes." Remember? Well, I heard the first few notes of "Baby Mine" and it was OVER for me. Over. I ugly cried through the whole clip. Now, I know others out there will totally agree with me on this one. Baby Mine is one of those songs that pull your heartstrings like no other. My gosh, my nose is burning as I type this, I'm such a sap! Dumbo is a sad movie, it really is. When his mom is rocking him and singing, I can't handle it. Do I want to see the new Tim Burton version? Yes, of course I do. Will I be emotionally prepared to handle said movie? I honestly don't know. Maybe with a box of Kleenex and some chocolate! I'll give it a go. But you see, no matter how many times we hear certain songs or watch specific movies, they still have the same effect. Disney magic maybe?
I always tell people, when it comes to Disney fandom, either you get it or you don't. Without a doubt, I get it. Maybe too much. Instead of being ashamed of random tears in the Disney Store when I hear a song, or getting emotional at the same shows over and over again, I try to embrace it. I have Disney running through my veins, and I'm not even sorry for that. It is what it is. I'm a Disney crier, and I'm sure some of you are too. So, what are your Disney triggers that get you going? I'd love to hear about them in the comments! We can pass tissues and cry together! Thanks for reading! ~M

Well at least I'm not the only one. I'm a Disney crier too. Disney played a huge roll in my childhood. From visits to the parks 2-3 times a year to endless hours of movie watching. Some of those trips were with family members who have now passed. First time I took my hubby & kids and stayed for the kiss goodnight…..tears

14A) August : Osage County (TIFF 2013)
The Weinstein Company.
Running Time: 120 Minutes.
3 and a half stars out of 4.
John Well's film August : Osage County based on the Pulitzer Prize winning play of the same name premiered at this years Toronto International Film Festival, and I was fortunate enough to attend the world premiere where the ensemble cast and some of the crew including Weinstein Company head Harvey Weinstein introduced the film. The time I am writing this review, I have seen this film twice…its that good. This is a near excellent film, that succeeds on the strength of its very talented cast particularly Meryl Streep and Julia Roberts, and a great screenplay. This is a film that almost makes you feel better about your family, because the Westen family as portrayed in the film, are a very unconventional family. In the film, Violet Weston (Meryl Streep) is the matriarch of the Weston family, a foul mouthed, pill popping mouth cancer patient. Violet is married to Beverly Weston (Sam Sheppard) a very depressed elder man, who is having trouble coping with Violet at this time of her life. After Beverly commits suicide (Not a spoiler), the entire Weston family gathers at his and Violets home, for the weekend, to attend the funeral. The one weekend they spend together, is a weekend filled with physical fights, a lot of yelling, and heartfelt and raw moments. This essentially is a film about unlikeable people yelling at other unlikeable people, but the the film Becomes so much more than that, thanks to Tracey Letts spot on script. August : Osage County ranks among this years best.
Just give Meryl Streep the Best Actress Oscar now. That is how excellent she is as Violet. She takes a very unlikable and over the top character, and finds the humility and humour in it. You forget you are watching Meryl Streep on screen almost two minutes in to the film, and like all of her past performances, she becomes the character. Violet is such a great character, and is memorable, because of her witty, cruel, and foul dialogue, and her incredible one liners. Julia Roberts is back on screen with an excellent co-lead performance, and after not making many successful films since her Oscar win in 2001, she returns with a great performance as Barbara, a tough hard on nails women that ends up running the family. Her Barbara is just as crazy as every other character in the film, but you still care for her. You understand where she is coming from, and you understand all of her actions, she is going through a tough time in her life. Roberts holds her own against Meryl Streep, and in the fight between the two(its on the poster), she ends it with a chilling line to Violet. Roberts deserves supporting actress awards buzz for her performance, and from what I have seen could be a spoiler to win. Aunt Mattie Fai is played very well by TV star Margo Martindale, in a brief performance Martindale is able to make the most of her limited screen time by making the very mean spirited and cruel lines she says very believable. She has great chemistry with Meryl Streep, and if she had more screen time she would also deserve to be getting awards nomination buzz. The rest of this large ensemble also do a great job. Chris Cooper, Benedict Cumberbatch, Juliette Lewis, Julianne Nicholson, Abigail Breslin, Sam Sheppard, this star studded cast all work well together, and all do a great job, to the point where you actually believe they are a real family. I wish Tracey Letts had given Abigail Breslin more to do, other than the typical annoying teenager role.
August : Osage County mainly takes place in The Weston Family Home, and because of this, makes the film feel almost too much like a stage play. I admire Tracey Letts for turning his over three hour play into a two hour film, and from what I have heard he included only the best material in the film adaptation.
Now, there is many things that work in this film, such as the chemistry the cast has, the performances, but many things do not work. For instance, the many surprises that are revealed about the family are not always plausible, and do not always make sense, and without spoiling anything, the ending which is very different from the stage play, is unoriginal, and feels too similar to the way that many other films have concluded.
For the first half of the film, Meryl Streep's Violet is the main character while everyone else are supporting characters, but halfway through the film, it felt as if they completely forgot about Violet, as the film switches lead characters to Julia Roberts Barbara. The change in lead characters, is hard to adapt to, but you eventually get used to it.
August : Osage County is a very depressing film, and captures what real families are really like. Despite, being a bit long, and having abrupt tonal shifts, it is Meryl Streep and Julia Roberts incredible performances that carry this film, and make this one of the most memorable films of 2013.

Muslims, Jews, and The Messiah
by Dinora Garza
5/07/2016 / Book Reviews
Isn't incredible that so many people ignore the truth in an era in which we can discover it by typing on a computer, or reading books on the subject? I want to recommend you two eye-openers, one on Islam, and one on Judaism and its conflict with Christianity.
The first book is "The Image of The Other as Enemy" by M. Iqbal Ahnaf. This book really opened my eyes about Islam; I finally understood why radical Muslims have murdered so many people. What would you do if you were told that those around you hate you, and will do everything in their power to destroy you? You'd probably sleep with a gun behind your pillow, lock your doors, install alarms, and yes, you would hate them back with all of your might...
So... Are you a lover of Muslims? Read this book. Are you a hater of Muslims? Read it. You don't know much, but are a seeker of truth? By all means read this book. Everyone should read it, especially AmericansI can't recommend it enough. It'll make you understand Islam, and what the present, and the future, holds for you.
The second book is "Betrayed" by Stan Telchin. This book opened my eyes to something I didn't know: most Jews despise the Messiah and hate Christians. I learned that they not only hate us, but have been afraid of us for centuries. Would you respect the Messiah if you had been told His people kill yours? You probably wouldn't want anything to do with Him... or His followers.
So, if you are a Christian, read this book. Do you love Jews? Read it; it'll help you understand and reach out to them.
G. K. Chesterton said: "In many people's cases it is not so much that people have considered the evidence, or they found that it was wanting, but that they have never considered the evidence."
Muslims hate Jews... Jews hate Christians but the Messiah loves both.
I am a Christian. My passion is to know the Lord, and help others to understand His character and will. Read one of my blogs at: onetruthonegod.wordpress.com

Knowing Paris inside-out comes with years of exploring, but above all a passion for discovering all the magic that a city has to offer. Our city guides are selected for their insatiable love for Paris, and their desire to share it with our visitors. Leaving no stone unturned, our guides are always ready to go the extra mile to ensure that those who explore with them get to discover the Paris that truly makes them tick.

From Napoleon Bonaparte to Toulouse Lautrec, you will travel back in time to meet some of the most scandalous characters who gave Paris its racy reputation.
Did you know that at the authorized brothels' peak period, there were more than 200 establishments and 150 000 registered filles de joie ? How could you recognize a maison close ? What were the rules inside these brothels and who were the famed Belle Époque painters that depicted life here ? Who were the most well-known courtesans or cocottes ? These are some of the fun facts you'll learn with your guide on this tour.
