Be a volunteer
We are somewhat biased, but it is so good to be a volunteer! It is amazing how it is possible to foster Health Education and Culture through our content. Taking reading, playing, and stories wherever we go is the first step towards transforming the clinical care and hospitalization of children and adolescents who are going through difficult times into a more joyful, healthy, pleasant, and therapeutic moment. We contribute to the well-being of the children themselves, their parents, families, and the entire multidisciplinary team.
We would be incredibly happy if you wanted to become a volunteer. But some requirements must be met:
- Know our Mission, Cause, Principles and Vision, and agree with them.
- Be over 18 years old.
- Be available to work once a week for 2 hours at the hospital and participate in the training workshops to perfect the art and activity of storytelling, which are always held at the Association's headquarters.
- Have a liking for, research, and keep up to date on children's literature.
- Have a passion for reading, be willing to study children's books, and be interested in being a Storyteller, because all the activities developed in the hospital are based exclusively on the presentation of stories and the use of books.
- Understand that the volunteer work done here is not considered an internship.
- Do not seek job placement in the hospitals that are partners of Associação Viva e Deixe Viver.
Get ready:
The Volunteer Training Course will include lectures, experiences, dynamics, and training sessions at hospitals, with the aim of assessing the essential requirements for working in the hospital environment and your willingness to perform volunteer work with commitment and responsibility.

Nail polish are cosmetic products that complement our look perfectly.
They are designing for both fingernails and toenails.
When winter and summer arrive, we take the sandals out of the closet, then the toenails are prepared to fill with colour.
In the market, it is possible to find nail polishes of all colours.
You can also select between matte, brighter, crackle effect, mirror, and a long etcetera.
In addition to colour, the nails can also sport different motifs and designs, so the options are numerous.
One of the most recommended models Rimmel London 60 Seconds Super Shine, a quick-drying nail polish available in the most innovative colours of the season.

What are the Differences between Normal, Semi-permanent, or Permanent Nail Polish?
Normal Nail Polishing
It is the one that is removed with nail polish remover (mainly composed of acetone) and lasts between 4 and 7 days approximately.
It is the traditional Nail Polishing, the one of all the life.
Initially, in the quest to extend the life of nail polish, the colouring pigment is added to acrylic and gel manicures in thin layers.
Later, technology progressed to give rise to less abrasive products such as the ones I am showing you today,
Permanent or Semi-permanent Nail Polish
The name is a matter of commercial and taste differentiation.
Permanent Nail Polish, that semi-permanent Nail Polish should be easy to remove at home, and their duration should be limited.
How to Choose Nail Polish Brand?
When choosing the best permanent Nail Polish brands, we must take into account several factors.
The most important is: if it respects the natural nail, the price, the quality, and the colours.
· Nail Polish Color
Without hesitation, when it comes to comparing nail polish, colour is essential.
This aspect is linking to the tastes of the users.
In this sense, you can find practically nail polishes of all shades and colours on the market.
These shades range from light to dark.
Also, those with a touch of glitter can wear the style that you like the most.
For this reason, it can be a Nail Polish suitable for people of all ages and preferences.
There are, for example, the conventional ones, such as pink, red, or burgundy.
It is possible to acquire almost any colour, even the most daring, such as electric blue, black, or fluorescent tones.
· Drying Time
Everyone wants an inexpensive nail polish and offers as short a drying time as possible.
Sometimes, we are in a hurry, and we need our nails to be perfect in the shortest possible time.
It means that, more and more, nail polishes with reduced drying time are choosing.
It will depend on the nail polish used, but, in general, nails will not be dehydrating for 30 minutes under normal conditions.
It means that you must be careful not to touch or handle any object to avoid bubbles or deterioration of the Nail Polish.
· Brush Typology
Another factor to consider is the brush.
For example, if the brush is small, you will most likely need more strokes, and the time and effort dedicated to this task will be more significant.
Generally, nail polishes can be present with a conventional bristle brush, but this can also be round and plastic.
You will have to weigh, in each case, which one suits you best.
· Nail Polish Duration
If you wonder how much costs, you should know that its price will be related to various elements.
One of them is, without hesitation, the duration of the nail polish.
Before acquiring one, you must be clear about the type of Nail Polish it is and, of course, if it suits your requirements.
The most frequent is the conventional one, that is, the one that we all know and that, on occasion, we have had at home.
What are the Best Brands Of Nail Polish?
1. Glaze
It is China Glaze's brand (of American origin, not Chinese as you can imply, and oriented to salon and professionals).
Hands down one of my favourite permanent brands, for numerous such reasons.
Firstly, it is a two-step scheme; you do not need to use a primer or base.
It is correctly fixing to the nail and when it is removing the natural nail is healthy and shiny.
It cures in a minimal time (30 seconds), and its topcoat is lovely.
2. Nailists
It is a permanent for professionals manufactured in the European Union (Germany).
Its medium viscosity formula contains many more pigments than most permanent Nail Polish.
Thanks to this consistency, an effect similar to that of gel nails are achieving by applying two thin layers.
3. Shellac
With the backing of one of the best nail brands (CND).
It is one of the first to develop and make permanent Nail Polish fashionable.
So much so that it has remained a classic in beauty salons.
Its quality and fame are indisputable, so it could not stop being one of the first on the list.
If it is not higher, it is because of its price, for my taste costly.
Around 14-22 euros depending on the size of the bottle.
4. Silcare
It is a somewhat unknown brand that comes from Poland.
It is a low cost, and therefore its products tend to have low prices, although it is expecting that they come in tiny bottles.
It is an ideal brand to start and not spend a lot of money, although I do not recommend it for salon professionals.
One of its main faults is that you can't see the colour on the bottle, but rather that it is numbering.
Another of the famous salon brands from the United States.
This brand has excellent quality. Its formula is positively perfect since they have years of experience.
Impeccable formulation, beautiful and very striking bottles for your living room, ideal brush for application.
Indeed, these brands' price inflates by the spending they make on advertising, like almost all the big brands.

Friends & Neighbors Real Estate Sponsored the 2018 Expo
This is the second consecutive year we have sponsored the Home and Outdoor Expo, which was located at the Indiana Event Center/RV/MH Hall of Fame in Elkhart, Indiana. The attendance again exceeded the previous year.
Friends & Neighbors Real Estate not only sponsored the Expo, but also gave away a 3-tier fountain to a lucky winner, that was drawn at the conclusion of the event. The event was held last weekend just about the time the area was having a flooding issue. That may have contributed to the good turnout.
The Expo brought in many who indicated building or selling, which gave us some great leads for the future. 2018 may be another great year around here, with the low unemployment. Even the builders are backed up for months.
If you need help in selecting the right home in and around Elkhart County, contact us and we will help make your home buying or building a positive experience.

Stitching? Who has time for that? Sock Madness has started!!
Actually, I have been stitching just a little bit. I'm made some progress on Down the Garden Path by Lynn Nicoletti.
The fabric is Meadow from Enchanting Lair, and I chose aida because I thought it would stand up better to being played with. The threads are DMC and Crescent Colours. I need to add some beads to the areas I've stitch, but I don't have the right ones in my stash. The horror!!
Also, do these look like hearts or eggplants to you?

SK Gaming vs Misfits Gaming
In the opening match of the day, we will see the surging SK take on Misfits Gaming, who have hit a bit of a slump as of late and are 1-4 in their last five games, whereas SK found themselves on a completely opposite path with a 3-2 record from their last five.
We already got to see this match unfold in June when SK won quite convincingly (+16 kill differential) and based on the teams' recent performances it's difficult to imagine this one will play out any differently. The biggest difference between these two sides is not necessarily the better individual quality on Misfits, but rather the superior macro play from SK.
Looking at these two team play, SK play much more like a cohesive unit and while they still lack that experience to push a bit further, they are a team that will punish anyone who fails to play at the same tempo as them. Misfits, on the other side, are a team that can have their flashes of greatness, but it seems like the longer their games go, the higher is the chance they will find a way to lose no matter how far ahead they are.
If we draw a line SK are the most likely victors, and while there are arguments to be made Misfits can win, I'm not to big on Misfit's performances. The only player who has been at least somewhat decent is Kobbe with 4.4 KDA, whereas his teammates are all below 3.0, with Doss averaging 1.9.
On the side of SK, the only player below 3.0 KDA remains Jenax, while Crownshot shines at 6.2. His performances as of late were also quite impressive, especially against MAD Lions. The only thing that could be an issue is Aphelios nerfs, meaning Crownshot will likely play Ezreal since it's his second most efficient champion – that is if Misfits don't ban it. Nevertheless, there is still Caitlyn, who received a significant buff, yet we can't know for sure which ADC will shine on her since she was not picked yet this split.
Prediction: SK Gaming to win – 1.806
Schalke 04 vs Excel
Schalke 04 might be regarded as the weakest team in the league, but their numbers from the last two games would suggest otherwise. The individual performance from Schalke players against G2 and Misfits was just phenomenal and yes some may say it was a fluke, but would Schalke be playing at this pace throughout the whole split, we would be looking at completely different standings.
Abbedagge had a great performance on Azir and Zoe, while Neon and DreamS really proved their worth in the bottom lane. But if there is one player who impressed it was Gilius in the jungle with his 10/1/8 and 8/2/4 records across the two series.
Excel, on the other end took down SK and Vitality last week. The first game was quite convincing, whereas I am not too impressed with Excel and their performance against Vitality. The fact that Patrick did most of the work on Aphelios doesn't scream overall quality and we once more got to see just how "special" Special is with his 0/3/3 LeBlanc.
While I want to be excited about Excel and their potential as a well-coached team, I have a difficult time believing Kryze is ready for LEC, Caedrel is good enough jungler to help his team and most of all, I am not convinced with Special's hit-or-miss games.
Both teams share the same 3-2 record across last five, but it's fair to rank Schalke's win higher since they have defeated G2, Misfits and Fnatic. One thing we can't ignore is how more aggressive Schalke have become as of late. Across the last three games, they have seen on average 30.7 kills, which is significantly higher than their split's average of 21.8. Excel have found themselves in a similar trajectory with 22 average kills across the last five, which is again higher than their average of 20.5.
Last time out there were only 17 kills between Excel and Schalke, however, with the race for the playoffs heating up expecting another slow game is out of the question. A Yuumi pick would throw this theory out of the window, however, it remains to be seen whether the buffs she received in 10.15 will be enough for the cat to return to pro play.
Prediction: Over 22.5 kills – 1.892
MAD Lions vs OG
MAD Lions lost their last game against SK, or better yet gave up a free win to SK in what was one of the biggest upset wins of the season, but a closer look reveals MAD Lions looked a bit too comfortable heading into the match and got burned for that. Orome had a terrible day and there are no words to describe Shad0w's performance either.
Nevertheless, that one loss is not enough for us to believe MAD Lions are no longer one of the top teams in the LEC. They're still the team with the highest kill/game (15.1) and third-lowest deaths/game (9.8) behind their next opponents Origen, who average 9.5 deaths per game and 10.4 kills per game (sixth-highest).
Talking about low kill count, Origen were not too convincing as of late with their losses to Vitality and Fnatic, where they have averaged only five kills across the two series, while they gave up 19.5 deaths on average.
While Origen have looked better with Jactoll, the honeymoon phase is seemingly over and it seems like Jactroll failed to add that aggression Origen need. To be fair, they were never a very aggressive team, but averaging only five kills across two games is worrying. Another thing that concerns me is the fact that Origen don't look like a team that can respond to MAD Lions' high tempo, which will be a huge problem this Friday.
All things considered, MAD Lions are a far better team and while we can't ignore their loss to SK, we also can't look past OG's losses against Vitality and Fnatic. Bet on MAD Lions to close this out with ease like they did the last two times when they met with OG (+8 kills, +14 kills).
Prediction: MAD Lions -5.5 kills – 1.917
Vitality vs G2 Esports
G2 are still not at the level they would like to be and their shocking win against Rogue proves that. However, instead of looking at that match as a fluke win, we must give G2 a lot of praise for producing such a comeback. Yes, some of it was on Rogue who dropped the ball, but having the mentality to push through and never give up is something not many teams have.
The fact of the matter here is that G2 need to win here as anything less would effectively put them in a very unenviable spot ahead of the playoffs. Given G2's struggles, there is a chance Vitality could impress and win, since they have managed more than a few upset wins, perhaps they can do it again. However, we have to take note of the fact that Vitality won only two games out of the last five played – both against Origen.
In fact, the only teams Vitality managed to defeat this split are Schalke at the start of the split, G2 during their slump, the unconvincing Origen and SK before ZaZe and Crownshot found their rhythm. In short, Vitality have not shown anything this split and were very lucky to face teams that were temporarily struggling or are just bad.
Prediction: G2 Esports – 7.5 kills – 1.961
Fnatic vs Rogue
The match of the week and possibly the most exciting match we have seen so far this split will see Rogue take on the rejuvenated Fnatic who have set their eyes on the playoffs and are ready to make their fans proud.
Rogue are coming into this match following a painful loss to G2, where they showcased to the world the true definition of what "choking" is. This team is still talented, but at the same time, that kind of losses make you wonder was it only a slip-up or are Rogue bad under pressure?
Fnatic are entering this bout following one of the best performances of this split. The individual play was just spectacular, especially from Bwipo and Nemesis who had a phenomenal day. The biggest surprise in that game, however, was Fnatic's unique draft which is a clear indication Fnatic are approaching games in a different way.
Their versatility and the ability to craft composition to counter anything will be Fnatic's biggest weapon here. Rogue are a team that plays the same style every game and while there is a saying "don't fix it id it's not broken", that doesn't necessarily translate here, especially when facing an aggressive early-game oriented team as Fnatic (or at least the Fnatic we knew).
Without hyping Fnatic too much after one win, they have looked like a completely different team last week and if they can keep this going, Fnatic will rise once more.
Prediction: Fnatic – to win – 1.854

WAIT...Did Priyanka Chopra's Cousin Meera Just Tell Kangana Ranaut To Let Her Movies 'Talk'?
Priyanka Chopra's cousin Meera Chopra has slammed Kangana Ranaut's controversy and said that she should let her movies do the talking. We are surprised!
Dear Meera, guess we should always take a step back and
listen to what we're saying before making statements, especially when you're a
public figure.
For those who are finding it hard to recall who Meera Chopra is, well, the actress was last seen in films like 1920: London and Gang Of Ghosts, which were a blink and miss at the box-office.
But with her latest comment on Kangana Ranaut, looks like Meera wants to give others a piece of her mind or maybe steal a bit of limelight in the blinding chaos?
Sharing her views on Kangana Ranaut's controversies, Meera tweeted, "#KanganaRanut i really love u as an actress but ur personallife #saga is getting too much now! High time u stop and let ur movies talk!"
#KanganaRanut i really love u as an actress but ur personallife #saga is getting too much now! High time u stop and let ur movies talk!— meera chopra (@MeerraChopra) September 14, 2017
Not to my surprise, Meera is already being trolled on social media but
what is surprising is that it's coming from Meera Chopra.
Meera is nowhere involved in this controversy. Even if we give her the benefit of doubt of exercising her right to free speech yet why say something which you have personally not achieved in your life?
I don't know whether Kangana is right or wrong. Whatever she is saying about her personal life is true or untrue. But does that matter here?
Meera Chopra At An Event
The problem here is not Meera expressing her views, hell no! The entire world seems to be having an opinion on social media now, including me, but to target an actress whose body of work has got her where she is today and telling her to let her movies 'talk' is surely obnoxious!
Interestingly, in an earlier interview, Kangana had revealed how Priyanka and a few more B-Town celebs had called to check on her when her personal life was going through a turmoil.
She had said, "All my girls are just amazing. We are so thick. We don't discuss our personal lives, like nobody ever questioned me, 'What happened?', but all I get is calls, lots of love and concern. Everybody has called me and asked me, whether it's Priyanka, Vidya or Sonam. A lot of men have responded too…
But, looks like Priyanka Chopra's cousin Meera has some other song to sing.

i saw a guy that looked suspiciously like santa clause at work today. and a few minutes later a midget walked in.... coincidence? i think not.
actually, i've seen that guy before. he carries business cards on them that say santa clause and some hokey thing about not stopping believing. he said he gives 'em to kids. during christmas... a little cute.... a little creepy. but he seemed like a nice guy.
i'm auditioning for a summer job at navy pier being a part of a group of pirates who entertain the tourists. sounds like it could be pretty sweet, but i dont think i have any chance of getting a part. but hey, it couldnt hurt to try. at the very least it'll be a good experience. i want to do a play this summer if there's anything going on. i really liked doing the "reader theatre" style play last month, and am planning on auditioning for the one next month. being in that last one really whetted my appetite for theatre and acting. i got a lot of positive feedback about my performance. of course it was all from friends and family, so take it with a grain of salt, but i'd really like to get involved in the theatre program at cod. i wish i had gotten daytime classes so i could have the opportunity to be envolved in plays this semester. i'm thinking about only taking like 1 class this summer, depending on what i'm doing for a job, so i'd have time to do a play if there was one.
speaking of summer jobs if i don't get this navy pier gig, i'm thinking about applying to be a lifeguard at the lombard water park. who cares if the pay is crap and i'd be working with a bunch of sixteen year olds? i dont think i'll be able to handle working in the windowless environment of target... i'm just too immature. (they told me one reason i didnt get the position i applied for [the work of which i already did, just didnt have the title or extra pay] was partly because of the maturity level) and rob and i are taking the bartending class this summer so we can become bartenders.... right, griegs? you best be planning on that still.
okay. its almost 2 and i have to get up in the morning.
-vitamin water-that stuff is addicting
-75 sit ups with a 35lb plate. hurts so good.
-going to bed before 2 so that you can:
-wake up before your work calls to tell you you're 20 minutes late like they did this morning
ladies and gentlemen, i give you "Dog Playing Poker"
okay, so i was doing some digging through my old blog posts and decided 2 things: 1. i'm a good writer. and 2. i should start again.
so maybe i'm a bit biased, but whatever. thus here i write. no particular purpose, other than to account things. so i worked this morning, 8am yipee. i got off work at 230, so that was cool, but i'd almost rather stay an extra 2 hours since i was there anyway. i found out on thursday that somebody else got the position i applied for... the position i pretty much do the job of right now anyway. it hasnt been formally announced yet, so they wouldnt tell me who got it, but i think it went to this guy that never works in "blue world" (the side of the store i always work in) let alone electronics (it was the electronics specialist position). so i'm a bit disgruntled about that, but whatever. life goes on.
i'd like to get a job that involves being outside this summer, cuz i dont think i'll be able to stand being stuck inside the windowless trifecta of worlds that is target. i was thinking about checking out the lombard pool to see what kind of pay and hours i could get from being a lifeguard. sure its a high-school job. sure it'll pay shit. but what the hell? why not?
well, thats all i have to say for now.
-create. be it writing in a blog, creating pottery, or sketching in the margins of a textbook. just create. its fun.
-listen. listen to everyone. listen to everything. listen to nothing. take it all in.

My father was admitted to a nursing home (rated best in the area) for "therapy" after a week in the hospital. The nursing home (and his complicit doctor) both turned a functioning attorney into a blithering idiot who saw butterflies buzzing around him. And they threatened his wife when she tried to get him discharged. Continue reading "NEVER go into a nursing home to recover. You may never escape!"

A helpful hint from me to you, fellow RoveHos:
Just 'cause it's Easter doesn't mean that Rovey's left tasty chocolatey eggs behind on the sofa cushions for you after he's been sitting there. Take it from me - always sniff 'em before popping 'em in your mouth, or the only basket you'll end up with is the one the ambulance tech puts by your pillow to catch the sick! A visit to the ER isn't *all* rotten eggs, though! If they keep you overnight for observation or a couple of extra hepatitis tests, remember - the adjustable hospital beds can prove almost as useful as Rovey's Special Chair!
Catch you on the bunny trail, RoveHos!Posted by Virginia at April 12, 2004 04:18 AM | TrackBack

Finding The GOAT Group: Mobb Deep vs. The LOX. Who Is Better?
"Finding the GOAT Group," the fourth installment of Ambrosia For Heads' annual competition series features Hip-Hop's greatest collectives vying for the #1 spot. Sixty-two groups have been pre-selected by a panel of experts, and one slot will be reserved for a wild-card entry (which has been determined), including the possibility for write-in candidates, to ensure no deserving band of MCs and DJs is neglected. The 2018 contest consists of seven rounds, NCAA basketball-tournament style, leading to a Top 32, then the Sweet 16 and so on, until one winner is determined. For each match-up, two groups are pitted against one another with a ballot to decide which one advances to the next round. Though there will be an enormous amount of debate in comments, on social media, in barbershops and text messages, which we encourage, only votes cast in the official ballot count.
Two "rotten apple" Rap groups clash as Mobb Deep faces off against The LOX. Each cross-town clique formed in the early 1990s. M-O-B-B released eight albums, in addition to a lot of combined guest shots as Prodigy and Havoc. The LOX's discography tells a different story, with just three albums, but handfuls of mixtapes and assistance (as a crew) on others' work. Ahead of P's death, he and Hav' appeared on the most recent L-O-X album (after past work together) showing that these crews can bust up bars and break bread together. In "Finding The GOAT" however, only one can survive—and you are faced with the decision of who. Your vote says it all.
Mobb Deep
(defeated Black Moon in Round 1, 83% to 17%)
With a legacy that goes back over 25 years, Havoc and Prodigy are Queens, New York kings. The duo is responsible for some of the most iconic sounds in '90s Hip-Hop, bringing the grimy, rugged feel of the Big Apple streets to life through their beats and rhymes. First getting widespread acclaim with their 1995 sophomore album, The Infamous, Mobb Deep went on to release a string of classics, surviving feuds with legends like Tupac, JAY-Z, and Nas, and coming out with a legacy that almost all Heads seem to respect. The pair spent the 2000s going for more mainstream appeal with a stint on G-Unit Records, splitting up in pursuit of solo careers, and reuniting for one last album together before the untimely passing of Prodigy in 2017. Possibly with more music in the cannon, Mobb Deep will forever be synonymous with Queens Hip-Hop.
The LOX
(defeated Clipse in Round 1, 73% to 27%)
For 25 years, Jadakiss, Sheek Louch, and Styles P have concocted concrete rhymes with the streets in mind. Emerging as part of the Bad Boy family, the Yonkers, New York trio of Ruff Ryders now have a partnership with Roc Nation. Through all of those maneuvers, the D-Block collective remained true to its core foundation, while working fitting in across the Rap landscape. Within their catalog, the trio has been able to adapt to the times, making songs that embrace their hunger-pain pasts and provide wisdom on how to secure the bag. Despite taking a 16-year-break between LPs, this brotherhood of bar-spitters knows how to preserve their brand and product for freshness. The Warlocks have the prowess of punchlines, authenticity, and chemistry to leave Hip-Hop Heads spellbound.
Finding The GOAT Group: Geto Boys vs. N.W.A. Who Is Better?
So who is the better Hip-Hop group? Make sure you vote above.

Forgiveness-to-destroy has many forms, being a weapon of the world of form. Not all of them are obvious, and some are carefully concealed beneath what seems like charity. Yet all the forms that it may take have but one goal; their purpose is to separate and make what God created equal, different. The difference is clear in several forms where the designed comparison cannot be missed, nor is it meant to be.
In this group, first, there are the forms in which a "better" person deigns to stoop to save a baser one from what he is. Forgiveness here rests solely on the base of gracious lordliness so far from love that arrogance could never be dislodged. Who can forgive and yet despise? And who can tell another he is steeped in sin, and yet perceive him as the Son of God? Who makes a slave to teach what freedom is? There is no union here, but only grief. This is not mercy. This is death.
Another form, still very like the first if it is understood, does not appear in quite such blatant arrogance. The one who would forgive the other does not claim to be the better. Now he merely says that here is one whose sinfulness he shares, since both have been unworthy and deserve the retribution of the wrath of God. This can appear to be a humble act, and can indeed become a rivalry in baseness and in guilt. It is not love for God's creation and the holiness that is His gift forever. Can His Son condemn himself and still remember Him?
Here the goal is to separate from God the Son He loves, and keep him from his Source. This goal is also sought by those who seek the role of martyr at another's hand. Here must the aim be clearly seen, for this may pass as meekness and as charity instead of cruelty. Is it not kind to be accepting of another's spite, and not respond except with silence and a gentle smile? Behold, how good are you who bear with patience and with saintliness the anger and the hurt another gives, and do not show the bitter pain you feel.
Forgiveness-to-destroy will often hide behind a cloak like this. It shows the face of suffering and pain, in silent proof of guilt and of the ravages of sin. Such is the witness that it offers one who could be savior, not an enemy. But having made him enemy, he must accept the guilt and heavy-laid reproach that thus is put upon him. Is this love? Or is it rather treachery to one who needs salvation from the pain of guilt? What is it for, except to keep the witnesses of guilt away from love?
Forgiveness-to-destroy can also take the form of bargaining and compromise. "I will forgive you if you meet my needs, for in your slavery is my release." Say this to anyone and you are slave. And you will seek to rid yourself of guilt in further bargains which can give no hope, but only greater pain and misery. How fearful has forgiveness now become, and how distorted is the end it seeks. Have mercy on yourself who bargained thus. God gives and does not ask for recompense. There is no giving but to give like Him. All else is mockery. For who would try to strike a bargain with the Son of God, and thank his Father for his holiness?
What would you show your brother? Would you try to reinforce his guilt and thus your own? Forgiveness is the means for your escape. How pitiful it is to make of it a means for further slavery and pain. Within the world of opposites there is a way to use forgiveness for the goal of God, and find the peace He offers you. Take nothing else, or you have sought your death, and prayed for separation from your Self. Christ is for all because He is in all. It is His face forgiveness lets you see. It is His face in which you see your own.
All forms forgiveness takes that do not lead away from anger, condemnation, and comparisons of every kind are death. For that is what their purposes have set. Be not deceived by them, but lay them by as worthless in their tragic offerings. You do not want to stay in slavery. You do not want to be afraid of God. You want to see the sunlight and the glow of Heaven shining on the face of earth, redeemed from sin and in the Love of God. From here is prayer released, along with you. Your wings are free, and prayer will lift you up and bring you home where God would have you be.

Mexican federal troops killed eight alleged gang members on Wednesday in battles along a highway near the U.S. border in the northern state of Tamaulipas, a region plagued by a bloody dispute between drug cartels.
The gunmen were killed in separate battles after they hijacked buses and used them to block a highway between the cities of Matamoros and Reynosa, opposite the Texas border towns of Brownsville and McAllen, a federal and state police task force said.
An explosive device was also found and deactivated in front of the mayor's office in Matamoros, the task force added.
Residents rely on reports from social media to learn about frequent gun battles, which can rage for hours.
Local media, which have been repeatedly attacked by the gangs, refrain from reporting the violence.
The U.S. consulate in Matamoros issued a statement on Wednesday warning American citizens of the spike in violence, which it said had been attributed to a battle between Matamoros and Reynosa factions of the Gulf Cartel.
The consulate said staff had been advised to restrict travel in the city, noting that there had been a surge in violence and an increase in reports of large convoys of armed drug gang members driving through Matamoros.
"While daytime convoys of armed Transnational Criminal Organization members are not necessarily unusual for Matamoros, the amount of violence that has resulted from gun battles between these rival factions is cause for increased vigilance," the consulate said in a statement on its website.
Besides trafficking illegal drugs, the gangs also kidnap and extort money from Central American immigrants seeking to enter the United States illegally. In 2010 and 2011 the Zetas were linked to massacres of migrants fleeing poverty and violence in their own countries.
Tamaulipas state led the country in kidnappings in 2014, with 264 cases compared with 211 in 2013. Homicides rose to 628 in 2014 compared with 555 in the previous year, according to federal data.

University Research Finds That Weight Training Can Be Beneficial to Breast Cancer Survivors
Posted on Nov 23, 2016 | Comments 0
A new study by researchers at Florida State University and Georgia College and State University finds that strength training can help reduce the risk of lymphedema, a common side effect experienced by women who have been treated for breast cancer. Lymphedema is a swelling of the arms and chest area that occurs because, when a woman's lymph nodes are removed during breast cancer surgery, the body is unable to drain fluids that can build up in certain areas.
But this new research shows that moderate strength training and weight lifting can help reduce the occurrence of lymphedema and reduce the suffering of those experiencing the condition. Lynn Panton, a professor of exercise science at Florida State University and a co-author of the study, notes that "activity facilitates blood flow, so we thought this type of training would likely help women." Dr. Panton explains that "at one time, women were told they shouldn't do upper body activities after surgery and treatment because doctors thought it could actually cause swelling to become worse. But we're finding that strength training can really help women recover from treatment and help prevent and reduce this swelling."
Professor Panton has taught at Florida State University since 2001. She is a graduate of Emory University in Atlanta, where she majored in psychology. Dr. Panton earned a master's degree and a Ph.D. in exercise physiology at the University of Florida.
The study, "Effects of Resistance Exercise in Women With or At Risk for Breast Cancer-Related Lymphedema," was published on the website of the journal Supportive Care in Cancer. It may be accessed here. Co-authors are Jeong-Su Kim of Florida State University lead author Emily Simonavice of Georgia College and State University.

Pardes Hannah's Rosh Chodesh Online Minyan meets monthly to celebrate the new moon, weaving davening with teachings from Kabbalah on the unique qualities of each Hebrew month. During the month of Tevet we are invited to pay attention to our shadow side and to what may be holding us back in our daily lives and on our spiritual journey. As we shine light in the darkness, we create opportunities for growth and healing.
This month we have much to celebrate as Rosh Chodesh Tevet falls on Shabbat, Chanukah, and the North African festival Chag HaBanot (Holiday of Daughters). To honor Chag HaBanot, we will be including liturgical selections from the Kohenet Siddur.

The talk is very interesting and showed me in a very good way that SQL is still a thing a lot of developers suck at. And for the first time it showed me actually why that is.
While the different topics and slides are packed with amazing information I would probably take out some of the advanced examples from the great slides and try to improve the flow of the story from plain SQL to OOP-SQL/DBAL to ORM and why each needs the former and where advantages and the pitfalls are. The content is there but now needs more "drive" ;-)

Episode 86: iSTAND Miniseries Part 3: Men in the Minority
In our third episode of the miniseries by the WWEST Associate Chair program hosted at iSTAND at the University of British Columbia Okanagan (UBCO), host Maxine (iSTAND Communications and Resource Design Assistant) reverse engineers the diversity in STEM conversation. She speaks to two men in female-dominated fields to explore how these fields can support greater gender diversity, and the benefits thereof. In particular, this episode explores nursing and social work and the parallelisms between these fields and STEM. Within these fields, the historical context of gendered professions is slowly, but surely, changing. You'll also hear about mentorship, the vulnerability these fields expose, and how men can find their footing when navigating gender expectations. Dr. Jennifer Jakobi, WWEST Associate Chair, introduces us to our guests in the beginning of this episode as well.
iSTAND is the Integrative STEM Team Advancing Networks of Diversity, which is creating a network to recruit, support, and increase underrepresented persons in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). You can learn more about their program here and about the WWEST Associate Chair program here.
Our guests for this episode are Dr. Peter Kellett RN, from the University of Lethbridge and Dr. John Graham RSW, of the University of British Columbia Okanagan. Please see relevant links for more information on our guests.

There's nothing quite like enjoying fresh, locally caught food while overlooking boats bobbing on the water, hearing the lapping of the waves on the beach or admiring sweeping clifftop views of the ocean. These exceptional seaside restaurants provide all this and more, from deepest Devon to rural East Lothian. Our six picks below guarantee salty sea air accompanied by a meal you'll remember…
The Green House – Dorset
A relaxed dining experience, Arbor is the all-day 2 AA Rosette-awarded restaurant at The Green House in Bournemouth. With seasonal menus that change to reflect the best local and sustainable ingredients, Arbor consistently provides guests with well-cooked, honest, uncomplicated but imaginative food. Head Chef Andy Hilton is spoilt for choice when it comes to the produce he works with: a clever blend of classic and innovative ingredients delivered daily direct from the farm gate and off the trawlers.
Alexandra Hotel and Restaurant – Dorset
The gorgeous ocean views aren't the only extraordinary feature that set the restaurant at Alexandra Hotel apart from its contemporaries. There's the excellent menu and admirable commitment to sustainable food systems too. The restaurant only uses sustainably caught fish and closely follows the Good Fish Guide issued by the Marine Conservation Society. Ingredients are always sourced from local farms and fishermen, and artisan producers located across the West Country. All of which results in an exciting food journey for its diners.
Lympstone Manor – Devon
Set within the exquisitely appointed dining rooms of a Georgian mansion, the fine-dining experience at Lympstone Manor is truly unique. Created by one of Britain's most celebrated chefs, Michael Caines MBE, the menu here is an expression of Michael's modern British cuisine, and has rightfully earned a Michelin Star. And with grand views of the Exe Estuary through its vast sash windows (the horizon feels almost close enough to touch), this seaside restaurant is not to be missed.
Greywalls and Chez Roux – East Lothian
Under the direction of Chef Albert Roux OBE, KFO, head of the Roux cooking dynasty, the culinary experience at Greywalls was always destined to be a special one. Spread across four rooms, including a Whisky Room and Sunroom, Chez Roux has a setting to suit every occasion, season and time of day. The service matches that of the hotel: welcoming yet refined, attentive yet unobtrusive. And once you've finished enjoying a world-class meal, the stunning East Lothian coast is just a short stroll away.
Watersmeet Hotel – Devon
With panoramic sea views of the rugged North Devon coastline, the Pavilion restaurant at Watersmeet Hotel offers each and every guest a stunning vista to accompany their meal. And with tasty seasonal and signature menus created by Head Chef John Prince, each one of your senses is in for a treat. The venison and lamb are both sourced from Exmoor whilst the fish is caught and delivered directly from Brixham. Naturally, everything is prepared to order and the cuisine is complemented by an extensive wine list.
Twr y Felin Hotel – Pembrokeshire
The 2 AA Rosette-award-winning Blas restaurant (meaning "taste" in Welsh) at Twr y Felin offers exactly what it promises. Served in contemporary surroundings, just minutes from the beautiful Pembrokeshire coast, the menu is centred around seasonality and reflects all the great produce of Wales. This light and contemporary cuisine is also complemented by a broad selection of "old world" wines. In addition to Blas, there's also the cosy Cornel Bar – great for a romantic apéritif – and the Oriel Lounge gallery space made for afternoon teas with an arty kick.
If you're planning a visit to one of these exceptional seaside restaurants we'd love to see your photos. Simply tag us @CNJohansens and we'll share our favourite images with the community.

"Diving in Saba, community service and boat living all exceeded my highest expectations. I learned to dive and sail but, more importantly, I learned about new places, people and cultures. I would hands-down do it all over again and I will carry the memories with me forever." Hannah, middle school alumna
Three PADI scuba certifications available:
Two sailing certifications available:
Two hours of service learning through community-based projects.
There's a lot to learn in the next few days, but you'll soon be an expert! Get fitted for dive gear, meet your crew and board your new floating home for the adventure of a lifetime. We start training right away with a short sail that will help you learn the ropes of life on a 45-foot catamaran. We also jump right into dive training: whether you are just starting out or already certified, you'll be in the water and swimming like a fish in no time. After class, try out some water sports and paddleboarding in the calm waters of Grand Case.
Settling into life on a boat is easy: sleeping under the stars, waking up to the cool ocean breeze and jumping in the water whenever the mood takes you. You'll work as a team as you take on the responsibilities of caring for the boat and fellow crewmates. Dive training is in full swing, and you'll discover the critters of St Barts – lobsters, barracuda, turtles and more as they swim right under your home. On land, you'll hike to the wonderful beach of Anse des Flamands for some beach games and visit the historic city of Gustavia. It's uniquely French Caribbean, and the crepes and ice cream are not to be missed!
Your sail training continues as we head to our next location– Saba! On your journey, you'll learn tacking, points of sail and navigation techniques. It's time for some more challenging diving, and the island of Saba does not disappoint. Its unique landscape provides fascinating diving and intriguing hikes, and the nurse sharks and stingrays of Torrens Point and Tent Reef are just waiting to say hello! You'll take time to help the local marine park with some volunteer work, later exploring the cute villages of the island.
Our last days are spent at Tintamarre, a white sand island just off the coast of St. Martin. The wreck of a small tugboat welcomes us for one last dive, later spending time snorkeling with the turtles and taking final photos with your new friends. As you reflect on all you have learned, take away your new found confidence and skills as you head home.

The Learning Dinosaur
(an Educational DIY Game for kids)
Entertaining kids of different ages at the same time can be a challenge. Thankfully with just a cardboard box, some paint, and a few balls, you can create fun educational learning activities.
The learning dinosaur game is an excellent opportunity to teach kids shapes, counting, and coordination. It is also an excellent activity for kids of all ages to work on gross motor skills and eye-hand coordination skills.
Creating toys with recycled materials is one of our favorite things to do. As my husband calls it "free toys." With just a few supplies, you can make educational toys that are fun and entertaining. I'm going to show you how I created the learning dinosaur and the different ways you can use it with the kids, no matter what their age is.
- A cardboard box
- A marker
- Acrylic or washable paint in one color
- Cutting tools such as Xacto knife, knife, or scissors
- Small plastic balls
Safety note:
Please be careful when using cutting knives or scissors around young children. Always provide constant supervision and keep sharp objects out of harm's way when not in use.
Step 1: Remove all flaps from the box
Step 2: Draw a dinosaur shape on the box
Step 3: Paint the dinosaur
Step 4: Darken the dinosaur outline
Step 5: Cut out different shapes.
Step 6: Label each shape with the shape name.
Step 7: Add score points for each shape
You're done! Now it's time to play
Because I have two kids of different ages (13 and 2), I created different variations of the games to be played according to the age of the kids. This way, the kids can play together, but they each have their own challenges.
Dinosaur Learning Activity For Babies
Kids under two years old take a lot of interest in random objects. They are discovering the world around them and are learning how things work.
Cause and effect activities are especially interesting to them. You will often see them throwing objects over and over just to see what happens.
Create a cause and effect game with the learning dinosaur.
Place a basket with balls and the learning dinosaur in front of them.
Show them how you grab each ball and place it in one of the dinosaur openings.
Ask the child, "where did the ball go?" Followed by showing them where the ball is.
Allow the child to try for themselves to place the ball in the hole and find where it goes.
Dinosaur Learning Activity For Toddlers
Kids over the age of two are ready to start learning shapes. My son loved this activity while I was creating the dinosaur at home.
Hand over the carved out shapes that are labeled and work with the child to find the right matching hole.
This activity allows us to practice shape recognition, vocabulary, and fine motor skills all at once.
Once the child understands the game, It is a great activity for independent play. Just make sure you show the child how to find the pieces under the box once he/she has inserted each shape.
If shapes are too easy, you can label the cutouts with numbers and letters to match those instead.
Dinosaur Learning Activity for Older Kids
For older kids, a learning dinosaur is an excellent tool for multiple learning games or even just fun games.
Want to practice multiplication? Hand them out a ball and ask them a multiplication problem. When the child answers, allow him to throw the ball into one of the holes to earn a few points.
Not in the mood for learning? Just work on gross motor skill work - which is those big body muscle movements. Stand back and practice tossing the ball and earning points.
You can make the holes bigger or smaller according to the child's age. You can stand farther or closer as well.
The idea is to have fun but make it challenging enough for each child's age.
My teenage son loves basketball, a great challenge for him. We even made it a family competition and invited my husband and my toddler to participate.
Can you guess who won? My son. I'm glad all that basketball training we have invested in has paid off.
Final thoughts
When you involve games where kids can actually move their whole body, you activate different parts of the brain when learning.
The learning dinosaur is an opportunity to learn through play. It is a way to engage all the senses.
For young toddlers, it is a mystery to drop in the ball and figure it out where it goes. It works on cause and effect, and that creates connections in the brain.
The learning dinosaur is a new way of learning as opposed to having to sit at a desk with paper and pencil in front of you.
Kids learn by doing and the learning dinosaur is a great tool to help them do just that.

The Trump administration has finally awakened to the frightening fact, that China controls 80% of America's rare earth mineral supply — a disturbing reality that the Pentagon wants to end once and for all.
A day prior to being airlifted to Walter Reed hospital, US President Donald Trump signed an executive order declaring a national emergency in the mining industry — an action aimed at boosting domestic production, Reuters reported.
Rare earths are an obscure group of 17 minerals used to build a range of goods including weapons and consumer electronics. There is no known substitute for them.
While the United States used to be the leading producer of the minerals, China has used its heft in the industry to its advantage in the trade dispute between the two world leaders.
Last year, Trump told the US Defense Department to find better ways to procure samarium cobalt rare earth permanent magnets, which are often found in precision-guided missiles, smart bombs and military jets.
Two Republican senators have introduced separate mineral-related legislation in the past year or so that have not passed so far.
Despite their name, most rare earth elements are relatively abundant.
The process of mining rare earths and transforming them into usable materials is, however, expensive and damaging to the environment, China Power online reported.
For years, Beijing exploited its relatively low-cost labor force and lax environmental laws to gain a competitive edge in the global market and become the leading supplier of rare earths.
It now China controls 90% of global rare earth production.
According to China's General Administration of Customs, China exported 45,552 metric tons of rare earths worth US$398.8 million in 2019.
The vast majority of these exports went to the world's major economic and technological powerhouses.
About 36% (by volume) went to Japan, making it the top destination of Chinese rare earths. The US was a close second, taking in 33.4% of Chinese exports.
Alongside the Netherlands (9.6%), South Korea (5.4%), and Italy (3.5%), these five countries imported a combined 87.8% of China's rare earth exports.
China's dominance in the rare earth industry is the result of decades of targeted industrial policies aimed at leapfrogging other nations.
In recent years, Beijing has also looked to reform China's rare earth industry to enhance efficiency, better protect the environment, and crack down on illegal mining.
Pini Althaus, CEO of USA Rare Earth called the executive order "an important step" in ensuring the U.S. is free from price manipulation and other aggressive economic maneuvers, particularly those perpetrated by China, Forbes reported.
"It also addresses supply chain vulnerabilities based on our ability to source the critical materials we need for defense and manufacturing," says Althaus.

Hiring the right people is hard enough, but how do you retain those star employees that you've worked so hard to find? Your business needs a positive culture that makes your staff want to stick around.
Many business owners invest a lot in hiring the right people. Then they invest even more time and money into training them. But the problem is, that's where they stop. They don't take the time to think about employee retention.
Losing an employee to another job opportunity is very costly for your business. Not only do you have to shuffle staffing around to fill the immediate gaps in your workload, but you have to start the hiring process all over again.
And with the current job market, the majority of contractors find it difficult to find skilled workers right now.
So, what kind of company culture should you be striving for? Start by focusing on these 3 areas. And if you need more help in building the right culture for your team, contact us for a free 30-minute consultation.
Don't micromanage your employees. Show them that you have confidence in their ability to get the job done. Stand up for them with difficult customers. Build a culture around mutual respect and you'll gain loyalty from your staff.
Help your staff continue to learn. Offer training regularly. Give them opportunities to grow within their position by giving them new responsibilities. Get them invested in the growth of the business.
Recognize your employees when they succeed. Reward them for their hard work and let them know they're appreciated. Allow them the time off that they need to reenergize and avoid burnout.
And if you're struggling to keep your employees engaged while working from home, check out our previous blog post: How to Keep Employee Morale Up, While Working Remotely.

- Metabolic syndrome is a group of disorders that occur together and increase your risk of heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes. These diseases include high blood pressure, high blood sugar, excess body fat. Height and abnormal cholesterol or triglyceride levels.
Having just one of these conditions doesn't mean you have metabolic syndrome. However, this means that you are at a higher risk of developing serious illnesses. And if you develop more of these conditions, the risk of complications like type 2 diabetes and heart disease increases even further.
Most disorders associated with metabolic syndrome have no obvious signs or symptoms. A visible sign is a large waistline. And when your blood sugar is high you may notice the signs and symptoms of diabetes, such as: B. Increased thirst and urination, tiredness and blurred vision.
The reasons
Metabolic syndrome is closely related to being overweight, or obesity and inactivity.
It's also linked to a condition called insulin resistance. Usually, your digestive system breaks down the foods you eat into sugars. Insulin is a hormone made by your pancreas that allows sugar to enter your cells to be used as fuel.
In people with insulin resistance, the cells do not respond normally to insulin, and glucose does not get into the cells as easily. As a result, even as your body continues to produce more and more insulin to lower your blood sugar, your blood sugar levels will rise.
Risk factors
The following factors increase your chances of developing metabolic syndrome:
- Age. Your risk of developing metabolic syndrome increases with age.
- Ethnicity. In the United States, Hispanics – especially Hispanic women – appear to be at the highest risk of developing metabolic syndrome.
- Obesity. Carrying too much weight, especially around the abdomen, increases the risk of metabolic syndrome.
- Diabetes. You are more likely to have metabolic syndrome if you had diabetes during pregnancy (gestational diabetes) or if you have a family history of type 2 diabetes.
- Other diseases. Your risk of metabolic syndrome is higher if you've ever had non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, polycystic ovarian syndrome, or sleep apnea.
Metabolic syndrome can increase your risk of development:
Type 2 diabetes: If you don't change your lifestyle to control your excess weight, you can develop insulin resistance, which can lead to increases in your blood sugar. Finally, insulin resistance can lead to type 2 diabetes.
Heart and blood vessel disease. High cholesterol and high blood pressure can contribute to plaque build-up in your arteries. These plaques can narrow and harden your arteries, which can lead to a heart attack or stroke.
A lifelong commitment to a healthy lifestyle can prevent the conditions that cause metabolic syndrome.
A healthy lifestyle includes:
- Get at least 30 minutes of physical activity most days
- Eat lots of vegetables, fruits, lean proteins, and whole grains
- Limit saturated fat and salt in your diet
- Maintain a healthy weight
- No Smoking

There were a few problems for House of Ideas in theatres before the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) debuted. The chance to focus on 13 Cancelled Marvel Projects from 2000 to 2022 that have never been released.
Before Iron Man, Captain America, and the rest of the Avengers hit the big screen, the Marvel world had a few flops, good huge turnips that tarnished the company's reputation.
Before Marvel Studios took over the Marvel Universe, exploitation rights were split between many studios, resulting in a bit of everything for the first ten years of the twenty-first century. Below discover These 13 Cancelled Marvel Projects from 2000 to 2020
Daredevil 2
In the list of Cancelled Marvel Projects Daredevil 2 comes at number 1 position.
Matt Murdock, aka Daredevil, first appeared on the big screen in 2003. Ben Affleck takes on the role of the blind vigilante in this feature film directed by Mark Steven Johnson.
Despite grossing $ 179 million (on a budget of $ 78 million), 20th Century Fox decided to cancel the planned sequel. Above all, it's the fault of the dreadful reviews.
Indeed, both professional critics and moviegoers are critical of the feature picture. Rather, the studio opts to make an Elektra-centric spin-off.
Unfortunately for Jennifer Garner, the picture receives even harsher reviews than Daredevil, thereby burying the franchise's future development potential.
The two characters have since returned to Daredevil on Netflix. A universe that has been cancelled as well. Daredevil and Elektra aren't having the best of luck.
Hulk 2
In the list of Cancelled Marvel Projects Hulk 2 comes at number 2 position.
Eric Bana played the Hulk before he entered the Marvel Cinematic Universe in 2008, first as Edward Norton and subsequently as Mark Ruffalo.
Indeed, years after the cult series worn by Lou Ferrigno, Universal Pictures commissioned the brilliant Ang Lee to direct a picture centered on the Hulk in 2003.
The Hulk was a box office success at the time, grossing over $ 245 million (on a $ 137 million budget). It was because of this score that Universal decided to make a sequel.
Hulk 2 was supposed to be released in 2005, however a series of delays during pre-production slowed things down. James Schamus, the screenwriter, had almost finished the script and incorporated The Abomination into his story.
While Universal had yet to formalize development on Hulk 2 in 2006, Marvel Studios and Universal agreed to revive the Hulk franchise within the MCU with The Incredible Hulk.
The punisher 2
In the list of Cancelled Marvel Projects The Punisher 2 comes at number 3 position.
Dolph Lundgren, Thomas Jane, and Ray Stevenson all played Frank Castle in the movies before Jon Bernthal became the new face of the character. Jonathan Hensleigh plays The Punisher in 2004, alongside Thomas Jane as Frank Castle and John Travolta as the villain.
The Punisher was generally favorably received by American critics (albeit not as well by French critics), particularly for the chilly and thorough portrayal of Thomas Jane.
Despite only grossing $ 54 million at the box office (on a budget of $ 33 million), Lionsgate Studios has approved a Punisher 2 sequel. Jonathan Hensleigh and Thomas Jane were set to reprise their roles, with filming set to commence in 2005.
Unfortunately, the project was in the works for over three years but never saw the light of day. It's all down to a script that didn't work for anyone. The Punisher – War Zone was launched the same year, hence the project was cancelled in 2007.
Punisher – War Zone 2
Lexi Alexander's film, The Punisher – War Zone, could have had a sequel as well. Despite a big box office disaster (only $ 10 million in earnings for a budget of $35 million), the version worn by Ray Stevenson was to have a sequel.
Despite this, Lionsgate was dead set on making a sequel, which would be helmed by Lexi Alexander. However, the studio did not have time to develop its project since the character's exploitation rights were sold to Marvel Studios, which chose to film The Punisher with the support of Netflix.
In the list of Cancelled Marvel Projects Punisher – War Zone 2 comes at number 4 position.
Spider-Man 4
This is, without a doubt, the worst letdown on the list. Sam Raimi wants to make a fourth Spider-Man film after his trilogy with Tobey Maguire ended in 2007.
A well-known feature film that we will, sadly, never see. Spider-Man 4 just imploded under the weight of fan and Sony expectations. The pre-production of the film was significantly slowed by artistic disputes over the super-villains to be utilized in the film.
Sony wanted Jim Carrey to play Carnage, Bruce Campbell to play Mysterio, and John Malkovich to play Vulture, but Sam Raimi wanted to focus on Morbius and The Lizard (characters who have all appeared on screen since).
Faced with these conflicts, Sam Raimi chose to drop out of the project in 2009, followed by Tobey Maguire.
The most aggravating aspect of this story is that Sam Raimi intended to continue his Spider-Man saga with Episode 6, but things didn't work out. Sony decided on a reboot, dubbed The Amazing Spider-Man.
In the list of Cancelled Marvel Projects Spider-Man 4 comes at number 5 position.
X-Men Origins: Magneto
In the list of Cancelled Marvel Projects X-Men Origins: Magneto comes at number 6 position.
Gavin Hood's X-Men Origins: Wolverine was released in 2009. While the film did pave the way for two more Wolverine films, it wasn't the intention. Indeed, 20th Century Fox hoped to create an X-Men Origins storey with their first spin-off.
The goal was to tell the origin stories of some of the most well-known mutants from the X-Men franchise. Following the success of X-Men Origins: Wolverine, 20th Century Fox began production on X-Men Origins: Magneto, which would be followed by X-Men Origins: Tornado.
Sheldon Turner was in charge of writing the screenplay for this sequel, and David S. Goyer was in charge of directing it.
However, following the critical failure of X-Men Origins: Wolverine, which nearly resulted in Hugh Jackman's casting as the clawed mutant being scrapped, Fox abandoned its initial intentions in favor of a new X-saga. X-Men: The Beginning stars men.
The Amazing Spider-Man 3
In the list of Cancelled Marvel Projects The Amazing Spider-Man 3 comes at number 7 position.
Sony Pictures officially announces The Amazing Spider-Man 3, 11 months before the release of The Amazing Spider-Man: A Hero's Fate.
After Andrew Garfield announced publicly that he is stepping down as Peter Parker shortly after the release of The Amazing Spider-Man: Fate of a Hero, Sony came to a halt.
Faced with the comedian's departure, Sony attempted, but failed, to postpone the release of The Amazing Spider-Man 3 in order to renegotiate the contract with Andrew Garfield. Marvel Studios approached Sony about collaborating and launching Spider-Man into the MCU as Tom Holland.
The Sinister Six
Due to the postponement of The Amazing Spider-Man 3, Sony has decided to concentrate on a The Sinister Six film set for release in 2016.
The feature film was supposed to follow the events of The Amazing Spider-Man: Hero's Fate and introduce this legendary squad of villains, commanded by The Green Goblin (Dane DeHaan at the time).
The idea was cancelled, however, due to a new agreement between Sony and Marvel Studios. A new Sinister Six film is currently in development for inclusion in the MCU.
In the list of Cancelled Marvel Projects The Sinister Six comes at number 8 position.
The Fantastic Four 3
In the list of Cancelled Marvel Projects The Fantastic Four 3 comes at number 9 position.
After two Tim Story films were released in 2005 and 2007, 20th Century Fox intended to make a third Fantastic 4 feature. However, after receiving mixed reviews for Fantastic 4 and the Silver Surfer, 20th Century Fox began to have doubts about the project.
However, the second instalment grossed more than $ 301 million at the box office (on a budget of $ 130 million). Especially considering the initial cast members Ioan Gruffudd, Jessica Alba, Chris Evans, and Michael Chiklis were all attached to a three-film pact with Fox.
However, the studio dropped the idea in favor of focusing on the X-Men. Chris Evans, who took on the role of Captain America in the Marvel Cinematic Universe in 2011, thought it was a good choice.
The Fantastic Four 2 (Reboot)
In 2015, 20th Century Fox chose to revive the Fantastic 4 franchise, resulting in the production of a new film. Chronicle's director, Josh Trank. Unfortunately, this reboot is currently regarded as one of the worst Marvel films in recent memory.
The picture received poor reviews and only made $ 167 million in revenue on a budget of $ 120 million. Fox, on the other hand, has been trying for a long time to make a sequel, which will be released on June 9, 2017. in dark rooms.
This sequel has already begun pre-production. The project was eventually shelved in December of 2015. Since then, Marvel Studios has reclaimed the license's operational rights and is working on a new film.
In the list of Cancelled Marvel Projects The Fantastic Four 2 (Reboot) comes at number 10 position.
The Inhumans
It's the only Marvel Cinematic Universe film on this list. Indeed, prior to the release of the series The Inhumans, there was a plan to develop a feature film about this cult group.
Project Inhumans was supposed to be part of Phase 3 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but the leaders decided to focus on the Infinity Saga instead.
The film Inhumans was later considered for inclusion in phase 4 before being demoted to a TV series, which was critically panned. ABC cancelled the sitcom after after one season.
The Inhumans, on the other hand, are clearly still part of the MCU, as they've been in the Agents of SHIELD series and are occasionally mentioned in the MCU.
In the list of Cancelled Marvel Projects The Inhumans comes at number 11 position.
In the list of Cancelled Marvel Projects The Gambit comes at number 12 position.
Gambit was slated to return in his own film after being debuted in X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Channing Tatum was supposed to take Taylor Kitsch's place in the film and play the legendary mutant.
During pre-production, the feature film underwent numerous alterations. After a number of directors tried their hand at directing, Gore Verbinski was chosen to direct Gambit. The filming began in February 2019, with Léa Seydoux and Lizzy Caplan in particular being cast.
Due to delays, timetable problems, and creative differences, Gambit's release was delayed four times. After a month of filming, Disney discontinued the Gambit project after acquiring 20th Century Fox, the film's original producer.
A decision spurred by the X-later Men's inclusion in the MCU, but refuted by the release of X-Men: Dark Phoenix and New Mutants following Disney's acquisition of Fox.
Ghost rider 3
Even before the release of Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, Columbia Pictures had already planned Ghost Rider 3.
Unfortunately, due to the negative critical response to the second picture, Nicolas Cage, who is used to working with women, opted to leave the part. Columbia couldn't have gone very far anyhow, because the rights to exploit the character reverted to Marvel Studios in 2013, a year after the release of Ghost Rider 2.
Despite an appearance in the Agents of SHIELD series, there are no plans to bring the character back into the MCU at this time.
In the list of Cancelled Marvel Projects Ghost rider 3 comes at number 13 position.
