The first Yorkshire Silent Film Festival is about to begin, hosted in the region where the earliest motion picture process was born.
Offering a host of unique showings and live performance, the festival honours the magic of great silent films from across the world. There will be thirty screenings throughout July across thirteen venues in Yorkshire, including Doncaster, Holmfirth, Hebden Bridge, Hull, Halifax, Helmsley, Leeds, Sheffield, Leyburn, Saltburn by the Sea, and Scarborough.
Three of the UK's leading silent film pianists, including a silent film harpist, will also be improvising live scores to the films. Highlights include a centenary celebration of Charles Chaplin's short comedies, beside the work of silent screen stars such as Louise Brooks, Lillian Gish, Douglas Fairbanks, Buster Keaton, Harold Lloyd and Laurel & Hardy.
Producer Jonathan Best said: "Yorkshire has a special importance in the history of film; the first moving images were shot in Leeds, and Holmfirth was the home of one of the earliest British film makers, James Bamforth. Yorkshire is one of the places in which silent cinema was born. There are silent film festivals in Scotland and in London and the South West, but nothing in the north of England. We thought we should put that right, so here is the first of what we hope will be an annual event, the Yorkshire Silent Film Festival."
The festivities begin on Thursday 16th in Halifax, celebrating of the genius of Charlie Chaplin, with a screening of three of his best short comedies; The Vagabond, The Cure, and The Immigrant. The films will be accompanied on piano by Lillian Henley and Jonathan Best. Book online at at squarechapel.co.uk or call the Box Office on 01422 349422.

Facebook Chat Desktop 1.1Free
Old versionsSee all
Facebook Chat Desktop is an application that allows you to access the chat without having to open the browser. This tool has a very simple interface, you can basically use it with your eyes closed. It has been created strictly for online chatting with friends. In order to sign in, you need to enter the username and the password of your Facebook account. The application warns you that the username is not the same as that of your email account. If you don't know your username, the tool explains to you the steps to find it. You just open your browser, select the account menu and choose the 'Account Settings' option.
A very useful feature of this program is the ability to check a 'Remember me' function. By selecting this option, you don't have to bother entering your account details every time you sign in. To ease your work even more, the developers added a function that sets the program to sign in automatically. After you log in, the tool loads all your friends' accounts and divides them into two categories: online and offline. It automatically refreshes the list so that you could have accurate information about the status of each user. However, I should say that it lacks a quite important feature. I think that a search option is essential for an application like this.
To sum up, I believe this is a very practical tool. The developers wanted to create a simple and easy to use chat application and they succeeded in it. By using this program, you can get in touch with your friends without opening your browser, which can be useful in some situations. I recommend Facebook Chat Desktop as a good working free instant messenger.

The following comes from Decisions for Successful Living written by Harold B. Lee, one of the Prophets of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Turning from the love of the world to the Love of God.
1. Blessed Are the Poor in Spirit
"To be poor in spirit is to feel yourselves as the spiritually needy, ever dependent upon the Lord for your clothes, and your food and the air you breathe, your health, your life; realizing that no day should pass without fervent prayer of thanksgiving, for guidance and forgiveness and strength sufficient for each day's need."
2. Blessed Are They That Mourn
"To mourn, as the Master's lesson here would teach, one must show that 'godly sorrow that worketh repentance' and wins for the penitent a forgiveness of sins and forbids a return to the deeds of which he mourns."
3. Blessed Are the Meek
"A meek man is defined as one who is not easily provoked or irritated and forbearing under injury or annoyance. Meekness is not synonymous with weakness. The meek man is the strong, the mighty, the man of complete self-mastery. He is the one who has the courage of his moral convictions, despite the pressure of the gang or the club."
4. Blessed Are They That Hunger and Thirst After Righteousness
"Did you ever hunger for food or thirst for water when just a crust of stale bread or a sip of tepid water to ease the pangs that distressed you seem to be the most prized of all possessions? If you have so hungered then you may begin to understand how the Master meant we should hunger and thirst after righteousness. It's that hungering and thirsting that leads those away from home to seek fellowship with saints in sacrament services and that induces worship on the Lord's Day wherever we are. It is that which prompts fervent prayer and leads our feet to holy temples and bids us be reverent therein."
Learning to love our fellowmen
5. Blessed are the Pure in Heart
"If you would see God, you must be pure. There is in Jewish writings the story of a man who saw an object in the distance, an object that he thought was a beast. As it drew nearer he could perceive it was a man and as it came still closer he saw it was his friend. You can see only that which you have eyes to see. Some of the associates of Jesus saw him only as a son of Joseph the carpenter. Others thought him to be a wine-bibber or a drunkard because of his words. Still others thought he was possessed of devils. Only the righteous saw him as the Son of God. Only if you are the pure in heart will you see God, and also in a lesser degree will you be able to see the 'God' or good in man and love him because of the goodness you see in him. Mark well that person who criticizes and maligns the man of God or the Lord's anointed leaders in his Church. Such a one speaks from an impure heart."
6. Blessed are the Merciful
"Our salvation rests upon the mercy we show to others. Unkind and cruel words, or wanton acts of cruelty toward man or beast, even though in seeming retaliation, disqualify the perpetrator in his claims for mercy when he has need of mercy in the day of judgement before earthly or heavenly tribunals. Is there one who has never been wounded by the slander of another whom he thought to be his friend? Do you remember the struggle you had to refrain from retribution? Blessed are all you who are merciful for you shall obtain mercy!"
7. Blessed Are the Peacemakers
"Peacemakers shall be called the children of God. The troublemaker, the striker against law and order, the leader of the mob, the law-breakers are prompted by motives of evil and unless they desist will be known as the children of Satan rather than God. Withhold yourselves from him who would cause disquieting doubts by making light of sacred things for he seeks not for peace but to spread confusion. That one who is quarrelsome or contentious and whose arguments are for other purposes than to resolve the truth is violating a fundamental principle laid down by the Master as an essential in the building of a full rich life. 'Peace and goodwill to men on earth' was the angel song that heralded the birth of the Prince of Peace."
8. Blessed Are They Which Are Persecuted
"May youth everywhere remember that warning when you are hissed and scoffed because you refuse to compromise your standards of abstinence, honesty and morality in order to win the applause of the crowd. If you stand firmly for the right despite the jeers of the crowd or even physical violence, you shall be crowned with the blessedness of eternal joy. Who knows but that again in our day some of the saints or even apostles, as in former days, may be required to give their lives in defense of the truth? If that time should come, God grant they would not fail!"
9. Continuing Efforts to Acquire the Attributes of God
This was an interesting exercise. It put a unique reading to the "Blessed Attitudes".
Matthew 5 - What would congress be like if they followed the beattitudes?

The Jakarta Post
The Jakarta Post arrived at the Chinese Indonesian Literature Museum on Tuesday mid-morning. Its white façade was graced with a small red signage and the museum is easily identified among a rather quiet shop house complex in South Tangerang, Banten.
Azmi Abubakar, the founder of the museum, later arrived to unlock the building and welcome The Post himself. Although unheard of by most people other than researchers and those with concerns over Chinese Indonesians, the museum can be easily found by Google map. The destination is even listed in the ride-hailing app Go-Jek.
"That's because we often order food using Go-Food," said Azmi with a smile.
We entered the museum through a double door decorated with old signages, pin-ups and vintage posters related to the Tionghoa (Chinese) culture. Azmi immediately showed us around.

"The May 1998 riot was so unimaginable to me, as there had been no significant signs of hatred toward the Chinese Indonesians beforehand," Azmi said as he explained why he was moved to establish the museum.
He recalls how the 1998 student demonstrations were initially conducted in harmony among activists from different backgrounds, including the Chinese Indonesians. But in May that same year, property and businesses owned by Chinese Indonesians were targeted by mobs, and more than 100 women were sexually assaulted. Azmi said that it was a terrible blow for him.
"What happened in 1998 was a very bad memory for Indonesians, but it was so much worse for the Chinese-Indonesians," he said.
Wondering why there had to be ethnic violence toward Chinese descendants, Azmi started to consult various books. He had always loved books and reading, and since that 1998 riots, his interest in books about the minority group only grew.
He started collecting books, magazines, newspapers and other printed materials related to the Chinese Indonesians in the early 2000s and kept them to himself. Meanwhile, he opened a secondhand book store in 2001 to sell his other collection of books.
From the books he read, Azmi discovered that many Chinese figures had contributed to Indonesia's history, and its struggle for independence in particular.
Azmi concluded that what happened in 1998 was similar to what the Dutch colonizers did across the archipelago for hundreds of years: divide et impera (divide and conquer), a strategy used to separate the Chinese descendants from native Indonesians. The separation was intended to break a large concentration of power into pieces with less power.
The archipelago is more vulnerable when the Chinese descendants and Indonesians are divided, and some parties who see the benefit of this vulnerability will continue to keep the two groups separated.
"There seems to be a systematic effort to halt the spread of positive information about the Chinese Indonesians," said Azmi, who felt he finally had a large enough collection of books and other items to open the Chinese Indonesian Literature Museum in 2011.
The museum aims to deliver information to create understanding between the Chinese descendants and so-called native Indonesians. Azmi is sure that a mutual understanding would prevent Indonesians of different backgrounds from attacking each other.

In between sharing his stories with The Post, Azmi showed some of his most prized collections. There were series of comic books in the Malay-Indonesian language written by Chinese-Indonesian authors, an album filled with photos of Chinese Indonesian body builders, and a book about a journey to Bali written by Soe Lie Piet, a journalist and author who is the father of Soe Hok Gie, a renowned Chinese-Indonesian activist.

There are tens of thousands more items in the 100-square-meter museum, and if a visitor is not into reading, Azmi will be more than happy to explain some of his collections. There are no catalogues yet, but visitors can simply tell him what he or she is looking for. Azmi always knows which item to show visitors.
The Post was fortunate to be Azmi's only appointment that day, and he was not expecting any walk-ins. The museum usually caters to appointments every day. On his days off, Azmi can be found tending to his small property business.
One of Azmi's missions is to visit local youth communities and share with them his knowledge about Chinese Indonesians.
"That is the only way to make them understand about the minority group, as their access to information is limited," Azmi said.
It is important for the information to be delivered by a non-Chinese descendant, otherwise the response would be much different, according to Azmi, who hails from Aceh.
The civil engineering graduate turned cultural activist then told The Post about his greatest joy from running the museum.
"I am happiest when people find their roots and identity in this museum. They may discover their family history and ancestors here and leave this museum with priceless knowledge."
On the other hand, Azmi and the museum are racing against time. As the sound of hatred is so often heard lately, the information stored within the museum needs to be spread more quickly and efficiently.

When you involve a skating shop for the very first time you may find yourself perplexed at a broad range of roller skates you locate there. The inadequate of general information on types as well as buildings of roller skates may take you aback initially making your option difficult. The following introduction is meant in order to help you better recognize the deal on the roller skating market, consisting of kinds, standard framework, main attributes and uses of roller skates.
Roller skating is a really versatile kind of task comprising various recreational and also expert sporting activities applications. Both kind and functionality of your roller skates will certainly depend on their planned use. If you are uncertain which kind of skating you would like to practice, surf the mesh, view some videos or go to a skating park to obtain the concept. The adhering to list will certainly help you to make the choice:
Recreational/casual skating– skating for enjoyable as well as fast transport (inline skates, quad skates, tri-skates or Cardiff roller skates);.
Physical fitness skating– skating as a workout, shedding calories (inline skates);.
Inline speed skating– competing sport much like ice speed skating (inline skates);.
Freestyle slalom skating– artistic performance of a sequence of complex skating tricks on a fixed surface with specially useded cones (inline skates);.
Hostile skating– an extreme type of sporting activity entailing performance of numerous skillful techniques consisting of jumps, slides and acrobatic stunts in the air (inline skates);.
Downhill– a severe kind of speed roller skating including movement down likely surfaces with the sight to create the highest rate possible (inline skates);.
Creative skating– a kind of sport much like ice skating bags comprising a number of disciplines such as dance, freestyle, pairs performance and so on (quad skates, inline skates);.
Roller hockey– a sort of hockey played on a dry rink or other smooth surfaces (inline skates, quad skates, depending on hockey type);.
Roller derby– a team type of sporting activity with 5 players in each group comprising racing, bumping and also elements of fumbling (quad skates).
The substantial checklist of skating activities provides us an understanding of why such a large selection of functions and performance qualities exists when it pertains to roller skates. Roller skates meant to be used for a particular activity are particularly designed for much better efficiency in this particular area. There is a variety of variables in the framework of roller skates that change baseding on their application.
Normally, all roller skates will have the complying with parts: Boots (cuff, tongue, lining, cog fastening, bands, laces), structure, wheels, bearings as well as break. Allow us see exactly how certain parameters of best yoga mats will certainly vary depending upon their intended use.
Around 1990 tough boots similar to snowboarding or hockey boots were the only choice for roller skaters. These boots were constructed from hard plastic and featured a soft removable and also washable insert. Slowly soft boots comparable to sport shoes began to dominate the market. Nowadays soft roller skate boots normally prevail nevertheless difficult boots are still commonly utilized in roller skates that are created for rough and also high-impact tasks such as roller hockey. The main benefits of soft boots are their lightness and comfy feeling, whereas the hard boots provide toughness and good leg addiction. Hybrid styles of roller skating boots are additionally available where soft boots are reinforced with a difficult plastic cuff at the back and also plastic plates at the front of a boot. According to their elevation the skating boots are categorized right into high-cut and low-cut boots. The high-cut boots are best for injury-risk activities, like roller hockey or downhill, as they shield your ankles as well as provide you a greater feeling of stability. The low-cut boot style is commonly used for tasks where speed is a must, such as, speed racing. The reduced cut roller skating boots also allow for greater ability to move as well as as a result benefit dancing as well as leisure functions. The biggest downside of low-cut boots is their lower security as well as security level.
The number of wheels on roller skates relies on their kind. Quad skates by definition will certainly always have 4 wheels. In instance of inline roller skates the variety of wheels might vary from 4 to 6, the perfect number for the novice being 4. The roller skates with 5 as well as even more wheels are meant for rate racing enabling better rate growth and maintenance. The speed ability available to the skater will certainly likewise rely on the wheel dimension. 72-28 mm. is one of the most typical wheel dimension normally made use of for leisure and various other kinds of roller skates. Generally, when it comes to wheel dimension the larger ways quicker, the smaller means much more steady and also manoeuvrable. Because of this reason hostile roller skates will normally showcase 55-67 mm. wheels and speed up roller skates will certainly be furnished with 78mm wheels and bigger. Aside from number and also dimension the wheel firmness is an essential parameter for roller skates efficiency. The wheels are generally constructed from polyurethane with various solidity worths which are determined according to the A durometer range. The dominating wheel solidity is 78Ð to 82Ð. More difficult wheels being much more resilient are advised to be made use of by heavy-weight skaters and on smooth surface areas. Softer wheels are great for uneven surfaces as they enable more controllability and have a capacity to absorb vibrations. Roller skate wheels will certainly likewise vary baseding on their profiles. The elliptic profiles are made use of for rate racing in order to decrease call with the ground. Level accounts are used in hostile skates for better hold.
Radial round bearings are a concealed element of all roller skates that has considerable influence on their efficiency. They are basically two rings with a cage in between loaded with precision balls which take the lots and also enable smooth rolling of the wheels. Bearings are classified baseding on their dimension, materials, accuracy ranking and defense system. When purchasing roller skates you must always see to it they are furnished with bearings made by a trustworthy supplier. Cheap bearings may seriously embitter the life of your roller skates in the future. One of one of the most vital elements in bearings is their protection from hostile environment, such as dirt, water and dampness. According to their defense type bearings are classified into shielded as well as closed. Both sorts of bearings are shielded against dust yet only the closed ones will feature water and rust resistance as well as do not require lubrication as well as other upkeep procedures.

The cost will also depend upon the material of bearings which could be produced of blend steel, porcelains or titanium. Ceramic bearings show the ideal worth for money including resilience, firmness, excellent deterioration resistance and reduced lubricating substance intake.

In mid November, the text of the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) was released. Those members of the Congress who said they read the whole thing are probably fibbing.
There are three ways a befuddled citizen can figure out what to think about a complex deal like the TPP.
The first is tribal: Listen for signals from the politicians you support and assume they've made the right decisions. But that's not so easy when it comes to the TPP because the agreement divides both parties.
It's no surprise that President Obama is strongly in favor of a deal he and his sides just finished negotiating. "It's an agreement that puts American workers first and will help middle-class families get ahead," he said. "It includes the strongest commitments on labor and the environment of any trade agreement in history." The Democratic presidential candidates don't agree. Bernie Sanders says the TPP is "even worse" than he expected. Hillary Rodham Clinton opposes it too, and hopes you'll forget that she once called it "the gold standard" of trade deals.
Among Republicans, "establishment" candidates Jeb Bush and John Kasich support the agreement, as do Ben Carson and Marco Rubio. But Donald Trump and Ted Cruz have said they are opposed.
A second approach is to listen to what interested parties say and choose sides based on where your sympathies lie.
Manufacturing workers and their unions think another free-trade deal will inevitably hurt them. The last half-century of globalization has coincided with a massive loss of blue-color jobs; not all of the erosion was due to trade, but to labor, the TPP looks like more of the same. "A bad deal for American workers," AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka said.
Environmentalists are condemning the deal too, mostly because it doesn't crack down on climate change. But this is, after all, a trade deal; talks on global warming are already underway.
Big business is mostly in favor of the deal, although not universally so. Tobacco companies are unhappy that it deprives them of the right to sue countries that restrict trade by limiting cigarette sales. Pharmaceutical companies complain that they aren't getting enough protection for their patients. (Doctors Without Borders thinks they are getting too much.)
Hollywood, Silicon Valley and agribusiness mostly like the deal, which protects entertainment copyrights, eases the flow of data across borders and opens doors for U.S. experts of meat and rice to Asia. California would reap benefits that the Rust Belt won't see.
Now for the final, labor-intensive approach: Listen to smart people who don't have a vested interest but are trying to analyze the deal in a comprehensive way.
Joseph A. Massey, a former U.S. trade negotiator with China and Japan who has served as an advisor to Republicans and Democrats made some important points about the agreement.
First, he said, the TPP's impact has probably been oversold. "It has benefits for U.S. export industries, but I think they're modest," he said. "It's clearly good for the entertainment and tech sectors. But it's not revolutionary."
Second, he said, the biggest threat to jobs in the United States isn't free-trade agreements; it's domestic policy. "We've neglected our own manufacturing sector," he said. "Germany is a party to trade agreements too, but they've done a much better job at maintaining a skilled blue-color workforce. We need more incentives for companies to invest here, employ American workers and invest in their training."
Third, he noted, the TPP isn't only about trade. It's also about economic reform, higher labor standards and environmental protection in developing countries such as Vietnam and Malaysia. And it's a way to knit countries on the Pacific Rim into a trading system that the United States helped design instead of one run by Asia's growing power, China.
So are we better off with or without the TPP? If Congress ratifies it, that won't turbocharge the U.S. economy. If Congress blocks the deal, that won't stop globalization. And like any trade agreement, it creates winners and losers.
One political lesson is clear: The bipartisan consensus that enabled Bill Clinton and George W. Bush to pass trade agreements has broken down, mostly because, to many Americans, their costs have been clearer than their benefits.
To win Congress' approval of the deal—an important part of Obama's second-term agenda and his legacy—the president still has a lot of persuading to do.
The unions have always been opposed to trade deals, but by and large they have worked. They have raised the economies of other countries and they have increased our exports and jobs. We should support TPP wholeheartedly.

For decades, San Joaquin Memorial High School has offered its students the opportunity to learn the basics of reporting, editing, and journalistic ethics through its print newspaper program. As of last year, the print newspaper is no longer in service, but this does not mean that students will leave their journalism ambitions behind them. In the beginning stages of digitalizing the publication, students will find a home for their articles here on the school's website. This, above all things, is providing students with a more realistic image of the journalism world today: Digital, fast-paced, and vastly more shareable than a physical paper thanks to social media and email.
Therefore, readers (be they alumni, current students, or parents) will now have access to what the students are noticing in the world around them, either just at school or on a vastly bigger stage.
We look forward to sharing articles with you.
"Nintendo's Green Plumber returns in this terrifyingly terrific third installment."
By Jacob Tashjian, Staff Writer
"Luigi's Mansion 3" on the Nintendo Switch is the third installment to the Action-Adventure series, "Luigi's Mansion." Created by Nintendo and developed by Next Level Games, "Luigi's Mansion 3" represents a brilliant return to form for the series, introducing new and innovative gameplay that builds upon the classic "Luigi's Mansion" formula of exploring rooms, capturing ghosts and solving puzzles while exploring beautifully designed yet haunting rooms, making "Luigi's Mansion 3" a must-buy for any fan of the series and a fantastic game for anyone with a Nintendo Switch.
Taking place in the new Scare-Scraper Hotel, the player controls the lovable coward Luigi as he ventures around the hotel trying to save his friends, who have been captured by King Boo, leader of the ghostly foes. In order to save his friends Luigi has to go through a total of 17 unique floors of the hotel that take on creative environments that the mansions of the older games could never achieve; he captures the ghosts that haunt each room with his new "Poltergust G-00," collecting money lying around the hotel (which contributes to a special ending) and solving interesting puzzles until he fights the final ghostly boss of the floor. As far as plots go, "Luigi's Mansion 3" is not anything ground-breaking or profound, but it is simple, filled with humor and supplements what this game excels at: gameplay and puzzles. It also does something that not enough games do, namely allowing the character to pet the ghost dog, making it a contender for game of the year in my book.
Alongside these new combat features is a new and controllable character named Gooigi, a gooey version of Luigi who can do what Luigi can not.From walking in tight spaces, walking through bars, and walking on dangerous areas like spikes, Gooigi becomes a great asset. Although a single player cannot control both characters at the same time, leaving the non-controlled character in a dazed and immobile state, playing with two players in co-op can resolve this issue. The introduction of Gooigi adds a new level of complexity to puzzles as players have to utilize both Luigi and Gooigi, sometimes in near synchrony, to complete the unique puzzles found within each floor.
"Luigi's Mansion 3" is a fantastic entry to the "Luigi's Mansion" series and a contender for the best game in the series. While the game suffers from lackluster rewards for fully 100% completing the game, does not contain a lot of replay value and lacks the dark atmosphere of the other games in the series, its gameplay innovations in combat and puzzle solving make playing the game a treat, and that is no trick.
I give "Luigi's Mansion 3" a strong 3 outta five.
From laugh out loud hysterics to slow dramas these films have a little something for everyone
By Xochitl Noriego, Staff Writer
While National Hispanic Heritage Month may have recently ended, it doesn't have to be the end of watching the Latinx films for which you may have seen recommendations. From emotional dramas to well-made comedies there are a wide range of well known to more indie Latinx films that you should add to your watchlist immediately. Whether wanting to see representation for yourself, expand your worldview or something else entirely the following five films will have something you'll love.
5. Born in East L.A. (1987)
Starring comedic genius Cheech Marin, "Born in East L.A." is based off of Marin's song of the same name. Marin's character begins the movie by being rounded up by the immigration police and deported. While seemingly a difficult topic to make a comedy film about, Marin masterfully creates a film full of both heart and laugh-out-loud hysterics. There won't be enough time to catch your breath between each punchline. This is a popcorn movie at its very best. When you want a film to sit around the TV to laugh at with your best friends, this is it.
4. Selena (1997)
Jennifer Lopez stars as one of the most influential Latinx pop stars to have lived. Selena was one of the defining artists of Latinx pop music, her music to this day is still played often. The biographical film about her is the same in that it has become one of the defining films of the Latinx community. A story about perseverance, "Selena" never tries to be anything other than a story about Selena, the good and the bad. Beautiful as it is tragic Selena holds a special place in the hearts of many Latinos and for good reason. Whether you know everything about Selena or if this is the first time seeing her name, this film will bring you to tears and touch your heart in the best way. Add this to your watchlist when you want something to inspire you.
3. Roma (2018)
This Alfonso Cuaron film has a lot going for it. It's directed by one of the best directors working today with a cast of talented and passionate actors with a story that is sure to tug some heartstrings. This semi-autobiographical film about Cuaron's upbringing in Mexico is a love letter to the nanny who raised him. The nanny in this film being portrayed by Yalitza Aparicio as Cleo. Aparicio was nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this role and rightfully so, as "Roma" is carried by Aparicio's performance. Following Cleo and her life with the distinctive Cuaron directing style Roma is a slow day-in-the-life story. While the slow pace, black and white picture and Spanish language may put off some people all these elements work together to paint a picture of Cleo and the family she works for so complete it feels like you are walking the streets of Roma, Mexico with them. When you want a slow, relaxing movie experience just open Netflix and press play.
2. Mi Familia/My Family (1995)
"Mi Familia," also known as "My Family" stars Edward James Olmos as the oldest son of the Sanchez family, Paco. Paco recounts three generations of the Sanchez family, beginning from his father's journey into Los Angeles from Mexico, continuing to his younger brother Chucho's tragic life, and ending with a hopeful note with Paco's youngest brother Jimmy. The film never shies away from the hardships Latino immigrants face in the United States, from the repatriation of Latino U.S. citizens during the Great Depression to police brutality, the film acknowledges the issues without ever feeling like it is bogged down or becomes about those issues. Instead, this film, as the name implies, focuses on family and the lives of the three men who are the focal points of the movie. It also doesn't hurt that its depiction of Mexican-American culture is startlingly accurate. This film will have you holding your stomach from laughing one minute and balling the next. Even if you aren't latinx add this to your watchlist, at the very least to see young Jennifer Lopez in one of her most dynamic roles.
1. Frida (2002)
Actress Salma Hayek's labor of love "Frida" is dripping with character. Hayek's performance as the titular character alone make this a worthwhile film to watch. Full of anguish and life, Frida Khalo comes to life as the soundtrack infuses more energy into the already energetic setting of Mexico. While at times the film can feel overdramatized, the touching performances of all the actors really make this film the masterpiece that it is. Whether you have in-depth knowledge of the artist's life or you know nothing at all "Frida" will capture your imagination and keep your mind working long after the credits roll. Be prepared to recommend this film to all your friends.
"...the problem lies in studios who use their fan base for a quick cash grabs by pumping out sequel after sequel or remake after remake."
By Megan McCraw
For many years we have viewed Hollywood as the cinematic center of the nation, if not the world. A place of creativity to bloom and eventually present to the masses. For years the city has produced original works, but adaptations as well, such as "The Godfather" Yet, it is almost impossible to catch a glimpse of this now in the age where quick cash grabs possess more importance than actual entertainment. As of recently, it is no secret that the new cinematic trope is nostalgia. If it ever graced American screens pre-2017, you can bet it will be back as a remake or unnecessary sequel. Unfortunately, this is especially noticeable in the companies who used to be known for their original content. For example, Walt Disney Studios, a household name has released remake after remake in order to feed off their older audience. Adults can't help but see their favorite childhood film and feel a sense of responsibility to see it again. After all, it was an important piece of their childhood.
One may think, "What's the big deal? No one gets hurt right?" But sadly you'd be wrong. Movies used to be a place where original storytelling could be spread and appreciated. Films such as "The Breakfast Club"or "The Godfather" were considered timeless classics. As sad as it is to say, this is no longer the case with the original films. Outshined by bigger studio remakes, many promising films have gone unnoticed. Michael Keaton's "Birdman" and Saoirse Ronan's "Lady Bird" (pardon the pattern) were both award winning films and even raised as some of the best films of our generation. Unfortunately, due to sharing the screen with larger movies including Disney produced pieces, they went underappreciated.
Now this doesn't mean that franchises or cinematic universes are inherently bad such as Marvel studios which has maintained consistency in their films of hard work and in turn good content. No, the problem lies in studios who use their fan base for a quick cash grabs by pumping out sequel after sequel or remake after remake. Beating a dead horse until it's done spitting out every piece of money. This is apparent in lower quality films from larger studios ( *cough* "Justice League"). Now as these big universes are coming to an end, completing their decade of dominance in cinema, there is hope for more spotlight on original pieces. This new break can be the kick start creativity in Hollywood needs, as long as we allow it to happen.
"Very recently in the entertainment industry, the music world has increasingly become divided over the fusion of country and pop genres."
By Emma Farris, Editor-in-Chief
It's that noise you hear driving home late at night- surrounded by darkness and bitten by the chill of the wind. It's the sound that spills out of the open window onto the road speeding behind you. The beats that make you and your best friend jump up and down in your seats, the words you both know by heart and scream at the top of your lungs. The soundtrack to those crazy perfect nights: country-pop music; but is that genre even real? The question has music fans divided.
Coined as the new "Nashville Sound" due to its Tennessee origins, country-pop is the fusion genre of traditional country music and pop music techniques. Notable examples of this music style are Blake Shelton's "God's Country," Sam Hunt's "Body Like A Back Road" and Carrie Underwood's "Before He Cheats." These songs and countless others like them all have the unique combination of modern producing technology, often used in pop songs with the lyrical sentiments, and vocals of country singing.
The loud guitar riffs and pounding drums behind lyrics like, "You got your hands up/ You're rocking in my truck" in Luke Bryan's "I Don't Want This Night To End" inspire listeners to imagine the specific scene of driving a truck down a dark country road, and with that the corresponding feeling of carelessness. Country-pop music has become a genre popular among young adults, often played at large parties because of its ability to quickly energize the audience.
This musical fusion, however, has not gone without criticism, with many "country music purists" as Rolling Stone termed them, claiming this new style of country music lacks the essence of the traditional sound. In an effort to become more mainstream, artists remove the conventional instruments such as the banjo and fiddle in favor for bass guitars and drums. As for lyrics, critics say the focus has shifted from exhibiting the bluegrass country life to encouraging partying, drinking and reckless dancing. For some, the final straw was Florida Georgia Line's collaboration with hip-hop artist Bebe Rexha in the chart topping "Meant To Be."
These changes to the genre however have actually served major benefits to country music. Cross-genre collaborations and modern, more radio-friendly sounds make country music more widespread and enjoyable to a larger audience; country-pop brings the fans of both musical styles together in a cohesive way. The country music fan base has grown massively in the past ten years, and that is very much due to the changes it has undergone, and many artists find success in this. Taylor Swift, the country-pop sensation herself, transitioned from country to pop in her fourth album "Red" and her popularity has only grown exponentially since. Today's country artists are simply adapting to the modern music industry, just as any other singer would.
At the end of the day, country-pop music shares the same message as the country music of the past; both styles are reliant on inspiring emotions and allowing their listeners to enjoy themselves. Calling someone a "fake country fan" for jamming out to "Singles You Up" by Jordan Davis defeats the purpose of country music, to bring people together for a good time. Just as the ultimate model for country-pop Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana once said, with country-pop music one can truly have the "best of both worlds."
"Despite attempts from firefighters to fight back, many families are forced to flee from their homes as the fire and smoke tear through the region."
By Emmit Boyer, Staff Writer
It appeared to be an ordinary evening for residents of Sonoma County on the night of Oct 23. It was a little past 9 p.m. and residents had already begun preparations for bed, tucking their children in or settling down to watch their TVs for the night. As many began what would constitute an ordinary nighttime routine, a pungent smell cut through the misty scents of the night: the smell of smoke.
At 9:24 p.m. that day, a wildfire broke out in northeast California near Geyserville, a small community within Sonoma. This seemingly ordinary fire slowly crept throughout the area, eventually becoming the largest fire this year, with the smoke capable of being captured from satellites. This fire was known as the Kincade Fire, one of the many fires that blazed through California these past few months. The Kincade Fire alone tore through 77,758 acres of California land, scorching and burning its way through the homes of families desperately trying to flee. Although nobody has been killed, four people have been injured and 374 homes have been destroyed, leaving many homeless on the ashy streets.
Many believe that this fire was caused by a PG&E powerline failing and collapsing near the area, although these reports are unconfirmed. "If bans on practices burning controlled fires and the removal of dead trees was lifted, then perhaps accidents like this wouldn't spark fires so quickly and the amount of fires would reduce," junior student Nick Dalena said. Despite this, a frantic PG&E began to shut down power in Northern California in areas nearby the initial fires, beginning on Oct. 26. It is estimated that despite not being caught in the fires path, three million people were left without power in the region due to PG&E's attempts at containment.
While the Central Valley has remained away from the flames itself, the effects of it are still being experienced. Due to the way the mountains surround Fresno's location in the Central Valley, smoke from the fires rapidly became trapped, even when the fires die out. "It has been really smokey for some time now, and I hope the wildfires are managed soon," junior student Cobe Young said. The smoke becomes trapped in the Valley and drastically affects the air quality, worsening it for sports or any outside activities. Smoke may not be visible and the fires may no longer be raging, but its effect on the Valley's air is obvious to those who have been here for much of their lives.

The book "Everything Everything," by Nicola Yoon, reached #1 New York Times Best Seller, was translated into more than 33 languages and was named One of the "Best Books of the Year" by Huffington Post, The New York Public Library and the School Library Journal. This comical romance novel begins with an introduction to the main character, Maddy. Maddy suffers from a disease called Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (a.k.a. bubble baby disease) which practically makes her allergic to the world. She hasn't been out of the house in 17 years, and has zero physical friends. All this changes, however, when she meets Olly, her new neighbor.
To begin, the story adds an incredible insight to what life is like to someone who is suffering from bubble baby disease. The book contains many unusual and outside-the-box writing techniques. It includes graphs, pictures, charts, models, emailing format, lists, poems, book reviews the character makes and individual word definitions Maddy learns throughout life. These add-ins are fun to read, but overall, make the book seem even shorter. Throughout the book, Maddy internally struggles with love, fear, honesty and truth. The caretaker, Carla, was a maternal figure for the main character, and really helped Maddy shape her self-identity. In the end, Maddy is able to overcome her obstacles using the lessons that Carla taught her about love and life. Olly as a character is funny and serious at the same time. He helps teach Maddy that love conquers all, and there really are "people worth melting for." Her mother, however, begins the story in a positive and healthy relationship with her daughter, but ends with a poisoned and ruined one. Their relationship is never fully restored and Maddy is unable to forgive her mother of her wrongdoings.
While the story might appear to be light and easy, it also contains many serious and difficult problems the characters have to deal with. For starters, her neighbor Olly comes from an unstable family. His dad is abusive and, because of it, the family seeks help and ends up moving away. Olly's sister struggles with an addiction to smoking that mirrors her home life. Olly himself often takes shelter from his family by running away and hiding on the roof. Towards the end of the book, we also find out that Maddy's mother suffers from a psychological disorder attributed to the death of her husband and son. She undergoes therapy to help her and her emotional complications. These problems are unfortunately never really solved in the end, with the exception of Olly's family moving away from their father. This book also contains moderate language use and too much romance for my taste.
Overall, this book is a nice easy-read and a great "getaway car" from your everyday life. I wouldn't, however, recommend this book if you wanted something inspirational or thought-provoking. In the end, I probably wouldn't read it again. If you want to skip the book, there's a new movie that came out.

Bahrain's monopoly telecoms operator, Batelco has partnered with Microsoft to develop a portfolio of internet and mobile related web services for consumers, businesses and government agencies. Both parties believe the deal will accelerate the growth of internet-based services in the Kingdom."Our goal is to build a unique consumer and corporate user experience based on Microsoft .Net technologies through a portfolio of rich internet services across the boundaries of the individual Batelco divisions. Such experience will aim to build strong customer satisfaction," comments Microsoft Middle East, managing director, Mohammed Kateeb.Although details about the agreement are vague, various mobile, internet and multimedia initiatives will be explored and resultant products & services introduced in Bahrain. Depending on market conditions these service could be then rolled out through Batelco's business units around the Gulf."We believe the market knowledge, technical expertise and robust infrastructure of Batelco, coupled with the world leading software innovation and expertise of Microsoft is a truly unbeatable combination," explains Batelco chief operating officer Samir Nooruddin."It is too early for us to go into fine detail, but it is fair to say that we are very excited about the potential here.

User authentication and authorisation can be challenging when building web and mobile apps or to provide access to 3rd party users to AWS resources. The challenges include handling user data and passwords, token-based authentication, multi factor authentication, managing fine-grained permissions, scalability, federation, and more.
Amazon Cognito makes it easier to manage user identities, authentication, and permissions in web applications as well as mobile apps; and utilise a consistent, cross-platform identifier for the end users authenticated through public identity providers such as Facebook, Google, Amazon or Custom IDP solutions such as WSO2 Identity Server/ Cognito user pools. As its a cloud hosted offering which is fully managed by AWS it takes away the pain of maintenance, but it's also cost effective too.
We will discuss the following topics in this webinar:
- Introduction to AWS Cognito
- Benefits of using Cognito for Serveless Identity and Access federation
- Enhanced workflows with AWS Cognito and Pricing strategies
- Demo : Serverless authentication with AWS cognito user pool
- Demo : WebApp to federate access to AWS resources via public and custom identity providers
- Questions and answers session from the audience

[news] SHINEE'S ONEW RINGS THE GOLDEN BELL
SHINee's leader Onew rang the Golden Bell on KBS 2TV 'Star Golden Bell.'
On the 19th at the recording of Star Golden Bell, Onew showed outstanding wit & skills. He was especially outstanding during the 'Match the initial sound' corner. On this day the initial sound that was given was 'ㅈㅈ.' Unlike other guests, from start to finish Onew was confident and gave correct answers to the initial sounds and made it to the final obstacle.
Onew who was the final person even answered the final question correctly which was about toothbrushes and its origin. Before Onew wrote the answer down, MBC Ji SukJin who returned to Star Golden Bell said "Putting SHINee's reputation on the line...," "if you lose it will be humiliating so leave out SHINee's reputation" and gave the audience laughter.
On this recording, Onew also got picked as "the most embarrassing member" by the SHINee members. SHINee member Key said "Onew always walks coolly in front of many people but in the end he trips."
On this episode all members of SHINee, Lee KyungShil, Solbi, Shin Bongsun, Suh Hyolim, Kim Taehyun etc...appeared together. The airing date is on the 24th.

Yep, so much for outside being the designated somking section...That doesn't seem to be the case any longer.
All I can say is thank god I don't live in LA...otherwise I'd have no choice but to file a lawsuit of discrimination against the city.
Apparently the city doesn't mind taking tax money from smokers...but god forbid they want to go to the beach and enjoy a smoke.
OTOH the mayor did have this to say:

Porsche releases its one millionth 911
As far as landmarks go, one million is a good one. While we're not entirely sure what wedding anniversary that would be, we are sure that this week German car guru rolled its one millionth Porsche 911 off its conveyour belt.
Having started the production of the 911 more than 54 years ago, the car can now officially claim to being the true motoring icon that we always knew it was. But this isn't just about the sheer number of vehicles sold, Porsche claims that more than two thirds of all 911s it has ever produced are still on the road – if true, it's a remarkable feat of engineering quality.
Unfortunately, the actual millionth 911 - which will be painted same Irish Green paint job as the first 911 had - is not going to be up for sale. Instead Porsche AG will keep the car as a trophy to be driven around the world gracing its presence on the planet's most famous driving roads, including the the Nurburgring, the Scottish highlands, Route 66 in the US and others.
Once this grand voyage is completed Porsche will retire 911 n.o. 1,000,000 to the Porsche Museum where it will become a historical piece for the German maker. A true landmark indeed.

Yesterday I deactivated my Facebook account. Yes, I didn't delete it yet, but I deleted my photo albums. I decided to be away from Twitter and Facebook this month inspired by Cal Newport's book Digital Minimalism.
The thing is: there is so much information available on the internet and I don't want to let an algorithm show me what to see. That's why I always love [moderated] discussion forums. It's theme focused and generally people there are looking for information and trying to help each other. Social media has some of it too, but 99% of it is just showing off.
I remember it was not used to be that way. It really was a more personal approach where we could connect and share ideas with close friends. Now it's an ad driven world where quantity matters more than quality. I used to love social media. I joined the first "connect to friends" websites back when "social media" was not even a noun. I used to have an account at SixDegrees.com. It was launched 22 years ago. It was shut down in 2001. Then I used MySpace (not my favorite), Orkut (2007, I remember there were hundreds of useless groups and hate speech started to build there) and then, Facebook (2009).
At the beginning I used Facebook to connect to a group of international colleagues from a course I've taken abroad. Facebook was not about news or companies profiles. There were only people. There were ads, yes, but they were less obnoxious. At some point all these companies started to show up on Facebook and ads started to overflow our timelines. And then viral videos. And then the non-chronological timeline. That annoyed me a lot. A timeline where you had no control of. Then I started to realize something was wrong with Facebook and with what my contacts were publishing there. It was all fake. It was all just for show. And I include myself in this madness.
It's time to stop the madness.
I've long deleted my timeline on Facebook, meaning: I don't see anything on my timeline. I was occasionally logging to Facebook to check out some groups. And that's all I did there.
I deleted my photo albums. And I'm still trying to delete my comments and likes but there's no way to automate that. I have to go to every single post and delete it manually. I'm still searching for a better solution.
I wonder if I delete my account, all my data will be deleted or Facebook will still have that data in their servers. I wanted to do a full delete from their servers. I don't know if that's possible yet.
For now, I deactivated my account. I'll be away from Facebook for 30 days.

"Hop Harvest 2012"
Wet Hopped Golden Ale
A hazy, golden ale at 6% alcohol, this once a year edition from Brouwerij De Ranke has a big white foamy head with a complex aroma of fresh hops, hay, fruit and De Ranke's complex yeast. There is plenty of malt character to back up the assertive hopping, and a pithy, dry bitter finish.
We hope you enjoy it, while it lasts!
We hope you enjoy it, while it lasts!
"Noir De Dottignies"
Belgian Dark Strong Ale
The heaviest ale from De Ranke with a very rich taste, coming from the six different kinds of malt they use. These malts also give it that rich, dark, nearly black colour. The royal doses of Challenger and Saaz hops bring the typical balance between sweet and bitter.
9% Alc/Vol
9% Alc/Vol
"Pere Noel"
Belgian Winter Ale
Père Noël is a Christmas ale, though very different from any other Christmas ales you might know. While most Christmas ales are rich & sweet, this one is amber-coloured, 7% vol. Alc. strong and tastes quite bitter. The complex taste is completed with the addition of licorice. In the recipe we can also find pale malt, Munich malt, Caramel malt, Brewers Gold hops and Hallertau hops.
"Saison De Dottignies 750ml"
Traditional Belgian Saison
Saison de Dottignies is named for the town in which the De Ranke ales are brewed. This beer is a great example of a dry, yet full tasting Saison with plenty of fruity yeast character. The snappy finish from the hops serve as a terrific palate cleanser, which makes a for excellent food pairings.
"XX Bitter"
Hoppy Belgian Ale
XX Bitter is a blond, bitter ale containing 6.2% vol. Alc. It's famous for it's very bitter and strong flavour. XX is made with pale pilsner malt and loads of Brewers Gold and Hallertau hop flowers. A perfect combination that has been nationally and internationally praised. This ale has been a real trendsetter for the current comeback of bitter ales in Belgium.
"Kriek De Ranke"
Flemish Style Blend, with Cherries
Kriek De Ranke is a 7% vol. Alc. Kriek that's unique because the composition is based on two different styles of sour ales. Being the redbrown style from the Roeselare/ Kortrijk/ Oudenaarde-region and the Lambic style from the Pajottenland-region, close to Brussels. We produce and acidify the red-brown ale ourselves, after which we add 25% sour cherries. These cherries stay in the ale for 6 months. Once fermented, the cherries come out and we add Lambic from Brewery Girardin. After this the ale matures for a while before being ready to drink. It's an explicit thirst quencher, that contains nearly no sugar.
Available only in 750ml bottles.
Available only in 750ml bottles.
"Cuvee De Ranke"
Flemish Style Blended Ale
Cuvee de Ranke is an ale of mixed origin like many Belgian breweries used to make. The production process is nearly the same as for the Kriek, the difference being that no cherries are added. It's a naturally acidified ale in which we try to reach the perfect balance between sweet and sour. This amber-coloured ale contains 7% vol. Alc. and can age very well.
Belgian Tripel
Guldenberg is a tripel-style abbey ale containing 8.5% vol. Alc. It's colour is blond and it's made of pale malt with the addition of candy sugar. The bitterness comes from the Hallertau hops used as bittering and aroma hops. On top of that dry-hopping is employed with the same hops which give the ale its unique flavour and aroma and its perfect balance between sweet and bitter. The name came from the former Guldenberg Abbey in Wevelgem, the village of birth of Nino, one of the brewers. According to data in Flandria Illustrata ale was brewed here in the past.

:: BioteQ Commences Water Treatment Operations at Raglan and Expands Commercial Contract with Xstrata Nickel
BioteQ Environmental Technologies Inc., has announced that it has commenced water treatment operations for the 2008 season at its Raglan plant, located in northern Quebec at Xstrata Nickel's Raglan Mine. In addition, BioteQ has been contracted by Xstrata Nickel to assume operating responsibility for the Spoon water treatment plant, a lime based plant also located at the Raglan Mine, on a fee basis. BioteQ and Xstrata are also exploring fee-based alternatives for future expansion of water treatment services at the Raglan site.
This will be the plant's fourth year of operation at the Raglan Mine site owned by Xstrata Nickel. Xstrata is strongly committed to good environmental management practices, and has chosen to work with BioteQ to apply innovative water treatment technologies which produce clean water to meet stringent water quality criteria. The plant is owned and operated by BioteQ, using the Company's unique ChemSulphide® process, and is ISO 14001 certified for environmental compliance. Plant operations for 2008 are anticipated to be similar to 2007.
BioteQ has been contracted by Xstrata Nickel to assume operating responsibility for the Spoon water treatment plant which was built and commissioned by a third party last year. BioteQ will provide operating staff and consumables on a cost-plus fee basis. The contract is subject to renewal after one year. Concurrently, BioteQ will be investigating the use of a novel ion exchange technology, developed in-house, in conjunction with the existing ChemSulphide® technology, for potential longer term use at the Raglan site to meet future water treatment needs. BioteQ will conduct a pilot study at the site on a fixed fee basis.

Giants put 'toe in water' for Charles Woodson, per report, but don't expect a cannonball
When Charles Woodson was released from the Packers earlier this offseason, the Giants made some inquiries about the veteran safety that they considered "due diligence." That was in February. Now it's the middle of May and Woodson is still without a team.
And apparently the Giants are renewing their interest. Woodson's agent, Carl Poston, told ESPN that the Giants have "just put their toe in the water again" for the 2009 Defensive Player of the Year and free agent.
Don't expect a cannonball, though.
The Giants have Antrel Rolle and Stevie Brown penciled in as their starting safeties, have the option of moving Terrell Thomas between corner and safety, re-signed Aaron Ross who can also play the position, and drafted Cooper Taylor at the position just a few weeks ago. So they have bodies at safety (although there would always be room to upgrade with Woodson). And they don't have an exceptional amount of money to offer Woodson.
Woodson, interestingly, just completed a visit with the Broncos yesterday and left without a contract. That was probably enough to pique the Giants' interest to the point that they inquired as to what Woodson is looking for. If it's a contender he wants, then the Giants will be a good fit. If it's a big payday, then the Giants probably won't be much of a factor in the decision-making process.
Of course even the specter of Giants interest could be enough to push any of the other half dozen or so teams interested in Woodson towards upping their offer or even making one if they haven't already.
For now, though, there is no visit scheduled between the Giants and Woodson and whatever interest there is between the two sides seems to be minimal and cursory and probably just more "due diligence."

There is a high demand for specialists within the social sector
Heidi Svartsjö is head of unit for Familiar Saukkoranta in Vasa which is a bilingual child protection unit. Svartsjö is a social worker by profession and today has over 18 fulltime employees as well as a dozen gig workers. It is quite the challenge to find co-workers that meet the specific specialized skills required in the field.
- – To find the right workforce today is definitely a challenge but the process is rewarding. Professions within the social and health sector today are strictly controlled and gig workers as well as students are not allowed to take any kind of responsibility – during a shift there always has to be a fully educated person in charge.
- – Sometimes it is not even enough to have graduated – You often need additional special skills, certificates and experience for example within substance abuse care or psychiatric care.
In other words, it is very difficult to find temporary workforce. To buy services from other similar company's does not work due to competition.
However, "Light entrepreneurship" is something we find very interesting in todays new trends and it is something we need to take a closer look at. This is a new possibility that might enable us to find the right people to co-operate with, says Heidi as she concludes the situation within the social sector

I find this comic to be well written and drawn and very entertaining. It is also thought-provoking.
Oh, and there's caring and caring. One can find it annoying when people say bad things about you without considering their opinion of you to be well-founded and worthy of consideration. So using ALL CAPS in the title might mean one cared in the first way without at all implying that one cares in the second way.
Anarcho-capitalism isn't the same as Libertarianism. But they have some things in common, and so some of the same arguments apply against them. I think that the basic philosophy of Libertarianism, or of the Zero-Aggression Principle, is at least a good starting point - and that, instead of taking our current taxes and conscription government system for granted, we (that is, the non-AnCap world) should at least try to have a principled justification for our exceptions to what seems to me to be obviously sound morality.At the same time, I think that there are at least enough pragmatic objections to AnCap that it's really unlikely to achieve the popularity it needs to happen. I love freedom, and would like to see those who also love freedom... apply their efforts in a way that gets results. Noting where the case for AnCap needs to be firmed up a bit to make it more likely to get a fair hearing... I don't think that is a destructive activity.
Quote from: sams on February 27, 2011, 09:31:55 amI really love the ''All your talents belong to US'' from Holt and Watson ... thus think themselves able to give orders.Honestly I just want to help him develop as a writer.
I really love the ''All your talents belong to US'' from Holt and Watson ... thus think themselves able to give orders.
Honestly I just want to help him develop as a writer. He actually does have a knack but he's not developing it. He's no Ellis or Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, but he's still a good writer, he just needs to shake the habit of writing one dimensional characters.
Libertarians? You do realise those guys are actually advocates of corporate feudalism right?
... I have seen quotes of Asimov and Heinlin and new thoughts I haven't encountered before ,I am haveing a good time ,but I could easily be gotten rid of, if the comic becomes uninteresting I am gone.
Thanks, good post overall.
