Check out our full review coverage of new and returning fall TV here.
Though its views on incarceration, drugs, and technology remained woefully underdeveloped, Minority Report ended up being one of Steven Spielberg's most notable works as of late, as good, in its way, as Munich and Lincoln. Tom Cruise gave one of his better action-centric performances, backed potently by Samantha Morton, Colin Farrell, and Max Von Sydow, and film was paced with a startling efficiency that never felt overworked; the glimmering production owed quite a lot to Scott Frank and Jon Cohen's sturdy, smart adaptation of a Philip K. Dick story. The Fox series based on the film is similarly engaging, stylish, and surprisingly clever, and does so in a way that's quite different from Spielberg's take. In fact, the new series has a playful, inventive tone that recalls prime Joss Whedon, as well as Fox's last great sci-fi series, Fringe.
Unfortunately, it's also got the inherent safeness and thinness that came with Spielberg's film, limiting a potentially ingenious plot wherein the usefulness of incarceration might be pondered. That's essentially what Dash (Stark Sands), one of the younger pre-cognitive agents, now must consider, years after the Pre-Crime unit has been abolished following huge questions as to the system's legitimacy and benefits. Those who were arrested through Pre-Crime have been released, but many of them must now be housed in a government home due to a damaging "halo" effect. Other former inmates are trying to take revenge on society in 2065, which becomes the business of Dash when he teams up with Vega (Meagan Good), an ambitious detective looking to do some good while her colleagues — most prominently Wilmer Valderrama's Blake — are grasping at big promotions.
One of the former prisoners, who pushes a woman out of a high-rise apartment building early on in the pilot, warns Vega and Blake that they "can't stop" what's coming, a line which is uttered in nearly every drama-thriller pilot that debuts nowadays. It's not a particularly good sign, but Minority Report hints at a separation between a mystery of the week structure and a larger, ominous story arc being built up incrementally in each episode. The appearances of the other two pre-cognitive agents, Agatha (Laura Regan) and Arthur (Nick Zano), are denoted by a sense of an impending plot, not unlike the bald men in Fringe, but the show doesn't hedge its bets on such reveals, which makes all the difference.
The pilot, written by Godzilla scribe Max Borenstein, does an admirable job of laying the groundwork for an entire season while also unfurling the hunt for a terrorist looking to kill a politician's wife. Whether or not the show will survive, however, has more to do with how the balance of storylines is kept in the coming episodes, which may hinge on imagination and wild emotional shifts like Fringe or Buffy the Vampire Slayer, or grow immediately tedious like all too many Syfy joints. Time will tell, in more ways than one.
Rating: ★★★ Good — Proceed with cautious optimism
Chance of Survival:
Minority Report premieres Monday, September 21st at 9 p.m. on Fox.

The Easter days were a lot of fun for the children this year. They prepared for many hours, celebrated the risen lord in church and went on an Easter hunt in the garden.
With the help of our volunteers, the St. Joseph children prepared painted Easter eggs in the weeks before the celebration. The colourful eggs were used to decorate the children's home – and the kids had a lot of fun making them. "For many of the children, it was the first time to decorate eggs for Easter", said volunteer Katharina. "They had a lot of fun crafting and drawing them." On Easter Saturday, all our children went on an Easter hunt to find a few chocolate eggs and sweets. On Sunday, the Knights of da Gama visited St. Joseph to celebrate with the boys and girls, as they do every Easter and Christmas. The Easter break was a busy one this year! Still, the kids had many opportunities to celebrate and learn about the Rising of Christ – in church and at home.

In recent days, NASA has reported that their Curiosity rover had discovered the remains of a freshwater lake on Mars. Now, Popular Science says the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter has spied some curious dark 'finger-like' features near Mars' equator. Experts are saying that the dark 'finger-like' appearance of the soil in this area may offer up evidence that water may now be flowing on the surface of Mars.
Mars is typically considered a dry and barren planet, but these observations may prove that the liquid appears in the Martian winter but it evaporates in the warm summer sun. What type of liquid this may be is questionable; it may be water, briny water, or even another liquid.
Of course NASA still needs to confirm the flowing water or liquid, as there are other scientific theories of what these dark 'finger-like' formations actually are. Some scientists say that these are just soil and rock anomalies that have been shaped by the Martian winds. If NASA was able to confirm the find it would likely change their understanding of the alien environment. Scientists are hoping that the discovery of flowing water may increase their chances of discovering life on Mars.
Mars has shown us that there is clear evidence that water once did flow across its surface around 3.7 billion years ago. This is evident where the Curiosity rover has investigated and explored in an ancient river bed and more recently in the ancient freshwater lake. However, with the planet's lack of atmosphere we should not be seeing flowing water now.
NASA first spotted the dark 'finger-like' features back in 2011, but recent examinations have experts saying that they actually do show what appears to look like a "heck of a lot like liquid water." A planetary scientist at the University of Arizona in Tucson, Alfred McEwen, is just one scientist that would disagree.
McEwan and his team have found 12 other locations around the equator that also contain steaks in the soil. With the Martian equator sustaining nearly the same temperature year-round, Mars would need to possess a mechanism to replace the flowing water. The scientist said that the low atmospheric pressure on Mars would make the water sublimate into a gas almost immediately.
Past studies have found another 7 locations of the darker soil appearing at the middle latitudes of Mars. These sites located in the southern highlands have warm summers and freezing winters. These dark fingers appear to be water just under the Martian surface and are now called "recurring slope lineae."
Scientist would agree that Mars does contain water in some areas, like under the surface, bound up in the soil itself, and frozen on the surface at the poles. However, flowing water would be the most likely place where life may exist. This does make it more crucial that probes sent to these areas in the future are properly sterilised. If microbes from Earth are to survive on the Martian planet, then they will be able to survive on these slopes. Scientists recently discovered a whole new species of microbes that could survive in the most sterile spaceship construction labs.
Discovering flowing water on Mars may aid future colonists of the alien planet. The privately funded Mars One project has plans of establishing a human colony on the planet by year 2025. The Martian colonists could take advantage of any flowing water that the planet may have to offer.
For now, NASA plans to keep observing the dark streaks from the Reconnaissance Orbiter, where the water does appear to be flowing on Mars. Closer observations and experiments may be planned for the future.

Joker Jasper takes top points.
With continued 'issues' around the Army, Landmarc and tenant farmers restricting the use of certain sections of roads over the Otterburn military ranges, the efforts of the organising team from Alnwick and Berwick Motor Clubs still managed a compact route of 60 competitive miles run over 12 stages. For competitors that contested this event last year the event would look very familiar. And also quite similar to last year, the 2017 version of the Tyneside Stages, sponsored by this time by Complete Group, wasn't blessed with much better weather for the first Sunday of August. On the plus side the wind wasn't as bad but we still suffered with Otterburn's micro climate and were served up with rain and sun but quite a bit more showers of rain rather than summer sunshine.
Wheeling out his pristine black Ford Escort MkII was the Stafford baker Mark Jasper. He hasn't made it out on a championship round since January and didn't make it out in time for the route recce on the Saturday before the rally either but that was no worry as he had Don Whyatt sitting alongside him. Don has won quite a few events over many years ago at Otterburn so was quickly at home with the venue and able to use his extensive knowledge of the roads. A steady run that was only hampered by some gear selection issues in the morning was their only complaint.
Although Jasper would take a maximum score for drivers, the victor in the co-driver's section was Andrew Roughead. Andrew was sitting alongside the non-registered Peter Taylor in his Ford Fiesta WRC and the pair managed fastest time on nine out of the twelve stages run. A pretty comprehensive rally victory that left the hot competition trailing behind.
Our second driver home was Lee Hastings in his Subaru Impreza. Lee had the non registered Irishman Alistair Wylie sitting in with him for their second rally in two days as they skipped the Tyneside recce to compete, and finish fifth, in Lee's local rally - the Solway Coast. Lee was as high as ninth overall after stage 9 before his gearbox started playing up. He slipped down a couple of places over the final three tests but was still happy to end up with a good result.
Next up in 14th place was Rob Snowden in his Ford Escort MkII. Rob was looking to bounce back from his mechanical woes, and retirement, on the last rally in the Kingdom of Fife and he was reunited was Durham's Andy 'Scratman' Brown for his first ever drive on these ranges. The pair tiptoed through the first pair of tests to find themselves way down in 25th place by the time they reached the hamlet of Quickening Cote. Steady improvements through the remaining ten stages pushed them back into a more respectable finish. Rob's felt that he'd traced and rectified the problem from his last run out and the Malton man drove with the aim of taking no chances in the slippy conditions. With one eye on getting some good championship points, he considered his day a success.
Richard Stewart scored a good set of points in the co-driver's section after a difficult 2 days. He was another who had competed the day before but his driver caused quite a bit of body damage to his car on the final test of the Solway. Some midnight oil was burnt in Lee Hasting's garage getting the car refettled and finishing 15th on the Tyneside was a fine reward for their efforts.
The Knox bothers were next up just 6 seconds adrift. Kevin was getting more used his BMW, the E36 model that Andy Davison used to good effect a few years ago, and continues to tweak the car to his liking. A steady start found them in 22nd position at the lunch halt before the lads pushed on a bit in the afternoon to gain half a dozen positions. It's good to see the Whickham crew get a decent finish with a reliable car.
And a mere one second behind were the son and father pairing of Graham and David Malthouse. Graham is gaining more confidence with his Mitsubishi Evo6 as he set consistent times despite having a bad vibration with the brakes for most of the day. Playing their Jokers on this rally enabled them to pick up a good haul of points too.
Driving the Peugeot 208, Gareth White and Harry Marchbank were next in 21st place. The man from St Boswells was another squeezing two rallies into two days and the Tyneside was all about getting a job done and picking up more decent points. The plan worked, as they recorded no problems on their way to 19th overall. And finally finishing a rally in a Ford Focus was Bruce Lindsay. The non-registered driver Mike Farmer was joyful to eventually have nothing to report other than good things about his car and the pairing went home with a smile on their faces for a change.
Another happy man at MTC7 was Neil Prior. A couple of decent finishes at Croft at the start of this year have been let down with some failures since January. Much toil and money has been spent on the Subaru's engine and gearbox recently and it's proved worthwhile. Neil, along with co-driver Peter Littlefield, were delighted to announce that everything works great again as they managed to get to the end of a rally. This result also means that Neil keeps his slim championship hopes alive too.
Our next finisher was current leading driver, Stevie Irwin. After rolling his Vauxhall Nova on the last event, the Kingdom Stages, the man from Berwick was looking forward to putting this behind him and yet only a few metres into SS2 he went off over a crest. The car ended up on it's side and with only 2 'spectators around to help the crew back on their way. The Riverside stage is the shortest and most twisty one of the whole event so although he was awarded a stage maximum, Irwin probably only lost a couple of minutes. The rest of the day was spent running lower down the running order but the car was going okay and some good times were recorded. It looks like he's used up his 'Get Out of Jail' card well …
Stephen Bethwaite and Ann Forster finished in 27th overall and took the up to 1400cc class win as well. No dramas to record as another solid performance reaped rewards at a power venue where they can never expect to be too high up the leaderboard.
Local farmer Chris Singer returned to action with Johnny Gilbertson again some four months after their initial outing in the Citroen C2R2. The engine mount problem that caused their retirement at Ingliston was fixed and the Alnwick crew were looking for a reliable finish this time. A cautious start found them in a lowly 41st place after the opening loop of three tests before steady progress for the rest of the day pushed them up to 29th at the end of the day as the driver learnt how to drive again.
A crew so glad to see the final control were John Nicholson and Kari Bates in the historic specification Ford Escort MkII RS2000. Things started brightly with a time that was 29th fastest on the opening test before a catalogue of problems dropped them down to 34th at the finish. They managed to go off the road a couple of times damaging the front panel and driver's side door; hitting chicane bales; damaged the exhaust; losing the use of the wipers when it was raining; the lack of intercom for a while and the co-driver suffered a bout of 'mal de navigator' too. And that's enough disasters for one rally …
Ken Bills managed to hitch a ride with a lad from York looking for some local knowledge to guide him and his Nissan Micra around the Otterburn stages and as ever Ken was up for it and steering them to 38th overall. Our final finishers were the other half of the Malthouse team, Jeff and Owen in their very standard Peugeot 205. The cheery lads from Berwick Motor Club were still smiling at the end of the day despite using the same four tyres whether the stages were dry or wet and not having any major issues to talk about.
Our list of retirements is the shortest one that I've ever had to report with only John Stone's name on it. John and The Jack Morton got as far as the start line of the opening Dudlees stage when the water temperature gauge on their Ford Fiesta soared and they had to be pushed out of the way. They eventually made it back to service after several stops to cool down and discovered an air lock being the culprit but by now they were out of the rally.
Once more we must thank Ed Barber and the team from both Alnwick and Berwick Motor Clubs for their efforts in coming up with an event in continuing challenging times and yet they managed to stick with a tight time schedule. It was good to hear plenty of positive noises about the rally as competitors still managed to enjoy the roads.
The updated results table show us that only 2 points separate the top 2 drivers and it's getting even closer in the co-driver's section as only 1 point splits the top 3 contenders. There's still plenty to play for as we head into round 9 on the Bank Holiday weekend.
And the penultimate round of our championship will once again be the Pendragon Stages. This is planned to run on Sunday 27th August, which is just over 2 weeks away. Entries opened for this popular event in the middle of July and in that three weeks the organisers have received the 80 guaranteed entries and anyone still thinking of doing the rally has until the 16th August to get their entry in. The final 10 runners and riders are chosen at the organiser's discretion. Just a reminder that there's 70 competitive miles on good macadam and concrete roads taking place over 8 special stages on Warcop Army Ranges. For more information on the event, go to the official website of http://www.pendragonstages.co.uk/index.html

Hometown Boy Kurt Busch Wins In Las Vegas
LAS VEGAS, NV (Pittsburgh Racing Now) – Chip Ganassi Racing's Kurt Busch beat Matt DiBenedetto and Denny Hamlin in overtime to win Sunday's NASCAR Cup Series South Point 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. The victory was Busch's first at his hometown track in 23-starts and his first victory in 2020.
"This is what kids dream of when they go racing," said Busch, who grew up racing on the 'Bullring' with his Dad and younger brother Kyle. "You dream of winning at your hometown track and for two decades it's kicked my butt and tonight with this Monster Energy Chevy, I'm in awe."
Busch had to survive two late-race restarts to get the victory. Busch got a fantastic restart with 12-laps to go and had a multi-car length lead when Christopher Bell cut a tire and slowed on the front stretch where Hendrick Motorsports William Byron crashed into Bell to bring out the caution with 7-laps to go, sending the race into overtime.
The last restart saw Busch get another great jump out front as DiBenedetto and Hamlin were battling for second place as the No. 1 Monster Energy Camaro raced to the checkered flag.
In case anyone wants to see this greatness one more time, or a thousand more pic.twitter.com/ZCNZppJrWW
— Chip Ganassi Racing (@CGRTeams) September 28, 2020
"I pulled out some drag racing skills on the restarts," said Busch. "I knew that was our strong suit. I knew that was Ford's weak suit. We just put ourselves in position and we held them off. Chip Ganassi was up in the suites somewhere and I could feel him breathing down my neck 'I want to win' and we did it."
The win also automatically advances Busch to the Round of 8 in the NASCAR Playoffs giving him and the No. 1 Monster Energy/GEARWRENCH team a little bit of a buffer before the Playoff field is narrowed down to the Round of 4 after races at Talladega Superspeedway and 'The Roval' at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
"It's an incredible feeling," said Busch. "It's sinking in, no Talladega worries, no Roval worries but we're still going there to get points. We're still going there to add up what we need to do to win this Championship."
DiBenedetto held on for second place followed by Hamlin, Martin Truex Jr. and Alex Bowman.
The NASCAR Cup Series playoffs move onto Talladega Superspeedway October 4, 2020.
Chase Briscoe Wins NASCAR Xfinity Series Alsco 300 at Las Vegas
LAS VEGAS, NV (Pittsburgh Racing Now) – Chase Briscoe dominated the NASCAR Xfinity Series Playoff opener Saturday night at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, punching his ticket to the second round.
Briscoe won all three stages and beat Noah Gragson on a late restart to win the Alsco 300. The victory was Briscoe's eighth of the season and 10th career win in 78 Xfinity Series starts.
"An unbelievable car," said Briscoe, who led a race-high 164-laps. "That thing was on rails. It was so easy to drive. By far the best race car I've ever had."
The victory gives Briscoe a 17-point lead over Austin Cindric in the Championship fight. Cindric finished sixth.
Gragson, a Las Vegas native, wanted to park his JR Motorsports Chevrolet in victory lane in front of the hometown crowd.
"It's good to get points but it's kind of frustrating," said Gragson. "We were all doing everything we could. I was kind of the best of the rest. The 98 (Briscoe) was so fast."
The second place finish moved Gragson up a spot in the Championship standings, 34-points behind Briscoe and 17-points behind Cindric.
Daniel Hemric finished third followed by Justin Allgaier in fourth. Ryan Sieg rounded out the Top 5.
The Xfinity Series title fight moves to Talladega Superspeedway on October 3, 2020.
Austin Hill Wins NASCAR Gander RV & Outdoors Truck Series Westgate 200
LAS VEGAS, NV (Pittsburgh Racing Now) – Austin Hill grabbed the lead on a restart with 39-laps remaining and powered to the victory in the NASCAR Gander RV & Outdoors Truck Series Westgate 200 Friday night at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
Hill's Weins Canada Toyota crossed the finish line 0.546-seconds ahead of Sheldon Creed, punching Hill's ticket to the next round of the NASCAR Playoffs.
"We didn't start the race where we wanted to after having a bad race at Bristol," said Hill. "Track position was huge today. Seemed like back in the pack it was pretty hard to pass. I knew when we were restarting up front there we had to get aggressive, and that's what I did."
Creed led a race-high 89 of the 134 laps but had to settle for second place after winning both the first and second stage of the race.
"Frustrating honestly," Creed said of the runner-up finish. "Way faster truck than him (Hill). I feel like the pace picked up there at the end running the top. He'd run half a truck off the wall and I'd run against the wall. He'd slide up and I would get really tight or really loose behind him. Just couldn't do anything."
Creed did earn a race-high 55-points as well as 2-playoff points to help in the Championship fight.
Tanner Gray finished third followed by Stewart Friesen in fourth and Chandler Smith rounded out the Top 5.
The race featured four lead changes among four drivers. Five caution flags for 25-laps slowed the average speed of the race to 119.861-seconds.
The next race for the Truck Series is October 3, 2020 at Talladega Superspeedway.

I Saw Inception, Or At Least I Dreamt I Did
The other night I watched the movie, The Martian. It was pretty good, and I plan on watching it again, but upon my initially viewing it I felt like I enjoyed, but didn't love it. When compared to the movie, Interstellar, I enjoy that movie more. Like I said, I need to re-watch The Martian again, and perhaps it will impact me more on the next viewing. I will say it did have great cinematography, and as some has said, some humor, but sometimes that humor sort of distracted me. I know it was done to make such a film more palatable for the audience, and at times it did help. But at times it seemed kind of obvious or there would be a scene, and then a little quip that just felt like, "Oh, we better inject a little cute joke here." Matt Damon did a good job acting, as he normally does, being the Robinson Crusoe on the planet. He plots everything as to how to maximize his living on such an inhospitable planet, I assume most of this is fairly plausible as the web says it's more akin to hard science fiction than the fantasy stuff. Still it didn't totally grab me like I thought it might, but I plan on watching it a second time. So we'll see.
Set in New York City the story is told in a non-linear fashion, first told in a flashback to when the main protagonist, Sean (Caleb Steinmeyer), is a young boy. He and his mother are abducted for some reason and his mother is shot. I don't think I'm giving away too much of a spoiler by saying that as that's merely the set up. From there we are brought to the present and the young boy is in high school, witnessing bullying, and all the other things associated with those years. His dad is doing the best he can to raise his only son, even though he's a broken man trying to put his life back together as well.
The film flashes back to the past, and switches back to the present many times throughout the film, which fills in a lot of the storyline to help unravel what happened the night his mother was murdered. The boy, Sean, spends time down at the police station going through all sort of mug shots hoping to find the one that perpetrated this crime on his family. In the mean time, he finds criminals from these mug shots and takes it upon himself to exact his own brand of justice. It might sound a bit Batman-ish or like the Punisher, but it takes on a fairly more realistic approach. While at the police station he befriends one of the female detectives, Teresa Ames (Zulay Henao), who not only played a convincing role as the detective, but also pretty attractive to look at. So that's the basic set up, and as I said it moves between past and present and between those storylines it begins to reveal what is happening.
This film might be considered a low budget film, I'm not sure, but it was handled pretty well. It had good acting and it was shot and directed well. I enjoy these type films like Memento that keep you guessing as to what the outcome will be. It's worth a watch if that sounds appealing to you.
I also have continued to binge watch the Louie CK episodes. His brand of humor probably won't appeal to a lot of people. I'll admit, it didn't with me upon my first watching it. His humor is blue or more accurately, raunchy. He doesn't pull any punches with obscenity and situations. So it's not at all a family sitcom. I was pretty turned off with the first few episodes I caught off cable TV as he's was onstage doing his stand-up comedy act and talking about wiping his daughter's butthole, and it just came off so crude or whatever. But the more I'd watch some of the episodes off TV, the more I'd get his style, and for sure it's still base stuff, that's the way he presents it, but at the same time it's also funny, contemporary, comments upon a lot of different topics like dating in New York City (or anywhere else really), and just dealing with life's ups and downs. Louie also plays a bit of a sad sack, so things don't often turn out well for him, but that's part of the humor. All in all though I've gotten some pretty good belly laughs out of the show, and I'm not huge comedy person.

We've come a long way since the days of sticking a sign in a yard and hoping against blind hope to get a call. But unfortunately, many realtors still take the old-fashioned approach to their landing pages.
We get it. Digital marketing is rife with complexity and jargon. Headlines, images, retargeting pixels…is all this really necessary?
Yes and no.
As with all things online, some elements are more important than others — your ROI depends on how well you prioritize. We reviewed dozens of real estate landing pages to help you avoid the common pitfalls and create real estate landing pages that actually bring in leads.
A landing page (also known as a squeeze page or lead capture page) is a single web page dedicated to one specific objective: turning passive prospects into live leads.
Remember the famous "reco" scene in Boiler Room? Vin Diesel picks up the phone and closes a skeptical lead without even breaking a sweat.
Your real estate landing page is your digital Vin Diesel. The prospect has found and clicked on your ad — you've got their attention. Your landing page needs to come in fast and furious to seal the deal. (See what we did there?)
Most real estate agents think a solid home page is all you need to successfully convert leads online. We wish that were true. In reality, the average person sees between 5,000 and 10,000 ads per day and has an attention span of eight seconds.
You've got to cut through the noise.
The beauty of a landing page is it lets you hold your prospect's attention and speak directly to their specific needs.
Put yourself the prospect's shoes. Directing a lead to your home page after clicking an ad for the 'home of your dreams' is the real estate marketing equivalent of giving your girlfriend diamond earrings for your ten-year anniversary — nice and everything, but NOT what she wanted.
The only way to stand out and grab those leads is to create a landing page that speaks directly to the conversation already happening in your prospect's head, depending on where they are in their real estate journey.
Eugene Schwartz, author of Breakthrough Advertising and pioneer of conversion-focused marketing, outlined five levels of awareness:
Now that you've taken a minute to walk in your prospect's shoes, it's time to talk copy.
Top performing content online is at or below ninth-grade reading level. The best-converting real estate landing pages have clear, concise headlines that are easy to read and serve up a ton of value for the prospect.
Use clear, easy language. Never include jargon — your landing page isn't the place for fine print.
This landing page headline from realtor Jonathan Greene gives potential buyers exactly what they want, confirming that they're in the right place and making it easy for them to click through.
The best landing page headlines address the deep emotional benefit of doing business with you.
This landing page popped up while reading Nerdwallet's blog post on Millennials and Homebuying: Myths and Reality. Their readers don't just want to read about home buying, they want to be seen an authority on the topic.
Home buying is a major milestone and the fear of making such a large purchase is very real. Tackle it head on and your prospect will know you're on their side.
Remember: Your initial ad, email or blog needs to tie in seamlessly with your landing page headline. A landing page that doesn't deliver on what was promised creates a message mismatch with the end result feeling like a digital bait-and-switch. Give your prospect what they want and they'll return the favor.
According to Neil Patel, "If the headline makes the user look, then the subheadline should make them stay. A subhead is part of the one-two punch of a landing page's power."
If it doesn't address a key question, fear or desire, leave it off.
Here's a great example of a landing page with a simple but powerful follow up. The subhead assures the reader this will be fast and easy, and reminds the prospect what's in it for them. They've eliminated all barriers to make signing up a no-brainer.
Your value proposition spells out in plain language exactly what your prospect gets when they sign up with you. Again, it's all about what's in it for them.
Take a look at how Golden Key uses their benefits list to spell out the value leads get in exchange for their contact info.
Top ranked realtor, Paige Martin personalizes her value prop to attract buyers looking to relocate to Houston. She knows exactly who her audience is and how aware they are. This enables her to offer information she knows they want — a move that will put her far ahead of the competition.
One of the most common mistakes realtors make is linking the landing page to their about page. Personal brand and reputation are crucial in the real estate business, but honestly, even solution aware leads who know your name don't want to read your mission statement — they want to see what people like them think about you.
Here are a few factors to keep in mind when selecting testimonials for your landing page:
Upnest kills it with a powerful combo of compelling customer video and detailed testimonials to let readers know exactly what to expect.
Remember what we said about your real estate landing page being your online deal-closer?
It all comes down to the button.
Here's the quick and dirty for a clickworthy CTA:
Here's a beautiful example of a home value estimator landing page that offers killer value to seller leads. (No wonder Bob Lucido's team ranked #6 in transaction volume in 2016!)
As with all things business, successful landing pages are all about putting the client first.
Done right, they can be a low-cost way to bring in TONS of top quality leads.
Done wrong, they're the black hole in your marketing funnel.
There's a ton of opportunity for realtors willing to take a creative approach to the real estate landing page, so feel free to color outside the lines and have fun with it. As long as you're putting your prospect first, you're sure to win.
What's your opinion on real estate landing pages? Are you happy or frustrated with your online ROI?

AFF Course Progressing in Spain – Skydive Photos
Here we are back in the air with AFF Course Progression!
Our brave students keep on going with their AFF Course in Spain. Our skydiving base in Southern Spain, Seville is very busy with its 3 Dornier aircrafts. As the only drop zone in Europe we have a privilege to skydive from 15 000 ft, almost 5000 m, every load.
Students of AFF Course can take a great advantage of this altitude! Comparing to traditional AFF Course, here they have an opportunity to free fall for more than one minute! Only at Skydive Atmosfera. Join us for English or Polish language courses all year round.
Please take a look at the nice AFF Course Progression photos we took yesterday, during a long an warm skydiving day in May. Jarek, Adrian and Wojtek as well as Diana during her Formation Skydive Course with their instructors Iwan and Tomek did about 6 jumps and still have energy to celebrate Diana's Birthday at our facilities swimming pool.
What else should you need for your AFF Course? Just grab your slot for the II half of June or September, the places are being booked quickly now in the spring and summer time!
Diana is very stubborn with her neck warmer, which was totally unnecessary in May. We believe when she will see the photos, she will quit it and show us her beautiful smile! Happy Birthday!

Arjun Kapoor, who made his debut with Habib Faisal's Ishaqzaade, had some words of advice for his half-sister, Janhvi Kapoor, who marks her debut with Dharma's Dhadak.
The film, whose trailer is expected to drop today, is the Hindi adaptation of the Marathi blockbuster Sairat and features Janhvi, alongside Ishaan Khatter. It has been directed by Shashank Khaitan, whose last film was the blockbuster Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania (2014).
Before the trailer officially launches, Kapoor, who like Janhvi, lost his mother months before the release of his first film, shared a string of emotional messages. He said he was putting it out there as he couldn't be there in person on her big day.
He wrote:
Incidentally, Ishaqzaade, too, was loosely inspired by Romeo and Juliet and went on to become one of the biggest hits of 2012.

"Shoo fly, you botherin' me."
Pupert Alexander Pesky (Thom Adcox-Hernandez) is a the second youngest of the Pesky siblings. In "The Price of Fame", Pupert had a crush on the fly girl Lucy.[1] He wrote a song to her, that Maggie performed in front of the citizens of Stickyfeet. He lives in a Milk Carton.
Personality Edit
Maggie and Aldrin's younger 8-year-old brother, is nothing short of an average kid. He is clumsy, loves to have fun with Maggie, and takes great pride in the small tasks he accomplishes. He is an expert at photography and tattling and has a big sweet tooth. Unlike Aldrin and Maggie, Pupert isn't selfish. He thinks about others and their wants instead of himself and his needs.
Relationships Edit
Maggie Pesky Edit
Pupert and Maggie is most like friends, but Maggie is using him in a few situations for her selfish interests. Pupert sometimes sabotages for Maggie, but not on purpose.[2]
Aldrin Pesky Edit
Aldrin wants Pupert in his team when he wants to do something against Maggie.[3] But otherwise, Aldrin is teasing Pupert.
Lucy Edit
Pupert had a crush on Lucy in "The Price of Fame". In the end, they went steady. Lucy made cameos in other episodes, but it's not confirmed if they are still together.
Chauncey and Frieda Pesky Edit
Pupert's relation to his parents is great. Because of Pupert's kindness, and that he is not selfish, they never punish him. Most because that he never does anything bad.

Traveling luggage improved so much than before; they came in the lovely brands that we all adore, just to completing our stylish looks when we are traveling. Luggage came in all sizes and styles, you don't have to buy the whole family of the same brand, but pick what to feel comfortable to you and to cover all your needs as well.
Being a fashion victim to the branded handbags will make you modify all your old bags with the brand that you care for. Some women are being crazy about buying all their little accessories from the same brand, just to complete their looks.
Most of the women are having a fashion craze from the Louis Vuitton bags and luggage; they wish to have everything from Louis Vuitton, and I 'm one of them too, but not really access to that stage yet. But I really love the brand and I love all the products related to it.
When you are going to travel try to wear simple outfits, and focus on how to be comfy for a long time. Pick a casual sweater, jeans, and sneakers, and prepare yourself for a nice journey with your favorite brand. Enjoy the collection.

Public transport in rural Scotland can be confusing – even in areas closely surrounding our towns and cities!
For example, when making a journey by bus from Carlisle to Kettleholm, (a little village near Lockerbie and situated directly on the main Lockerbie to Annan road), I have to make a change at Gretna (about a third of the way from Carlisle to Kettleholm).
This would be fine, except the buses are run by separate operators (although they share the same number (382)) and neither operator accepts the other?s tickets. I could get an open return for Carlisle to Lockerbie from Stagecoach, but may get a warning if I try to use it on the McCall's to my village. And vice versa. I have often got off the Stagecoach Carlisle to Lockerbie bus at the shortest distal point of about 2 miles. It is a 40-minute, green and pleasant walk home from there – and there is even more incentive to get the bus back to Carlisle from that distant stop, as the bus past our road is only a few times a day and they (McCall?s) might refuse a Stagecoach return ticket. So I have often ended up running those 2 miles???because I'm bad at timekeeping.
My last single journey cost me
?3.80 ? single from Carlisle to Gretna (on the 79 Carlisle to Dumfries bus) PLUS
?2.65 single from Gretna to Kettleholm (on the 382 Gretna to Lockerbie bus) = ?6.45
because I have to buy separate tickets. This was the only bus route I was able to catch that day.
?6.40 is what it normally costs for an open (28 day) RETURN from Carlisle to Kettleholm. I really had to stump-up for this luxury journey to visit my parents.
If I were to get TWO return journeys, that would cost me ?4.80 return from Gretna to Kettleholm (and I seem to remember the return from Carlisle to Gretna costing ?6.50 or more!)
I am paying TWICE AS MUCH to get to Kettleholm, via the different operators, compared to the ?6.40 return to Lockerbie, four more miles away!
Below is a small collection of snapshots of the potholes on the main Lockerbie to Annan road, along which our village is situated. Some have been patched up recently, but the key word here is ?patched?. Is it a sign that they don?t intend to resurface this road for another five years or more, when it desperately needs it now?! ?It looks almost abandoned/forgotten ? and this is one of our well used tourist routes!! What a welcome!!
The Houston?s 383 Annan to Lockerbie bus only uses this main Lockerbie to Annan road twice a day, 07:10 from Lockerbie to Annan and 16:45 back during the school run. The rest of the day it uses the APR bypass road.
Motivated to use public transport
Government statistics show that, over the last four decades, public transport prices have soared while the cost of travelling by car has dropped dramatically –
People in my village mainly use their cars – public transport seems too much of a hassle (as highlighted by my experiences). To get to Dumfries from Kettleholm, first you have to catch the (rare) bus to Lockerbie, then catch a (fairly frequent) bus from Lockerbie to Dumfries. ?Look a bit closer, though, and a neighbouring (4 miles away) village, Dalton, has the fortune of having a bus pass through it direct to Dumfries!
Understandably, though, people see driving as so much cheaper and so much more convenient that they don?t give it a second thought.
Trains don?t often stop at Lockerbie station??… I have noticed that in the north of England there are a number of ?request stops? whereby the passenger can request upon boarding that the train stop there.? Could this not happen at Lockerbie?
When I got a job in Carlisle, and before finding my flat there, I had to cycle the 7 miles to Annan train station to get to work, catch the last train back and cycle 7 miles home along a country road in the dark?? ?I wouldn?t mind if I had a decent bike (It?s an old mountain, with a slightly bent fork and bent handlebars, which means it is not technically roadworthy !).
I have recently resigned myself to cycling the distance between Kettleholm and Carlisle. (I WOULD prefer to cycle part way and hop on the bus at a later stage, but they don't allow bikes on board). After the first 26 plus mile journey to my parent's home it gets easier!…. and it only took me about twice the time the bus took.
I?ll leave you with some nicer photos of the roads, taken on my bike journey home??..in daylight??

9.Describe yourself.
10. Tell me how you handled a difficult situation.
While many hiring managers have asked these relevant questions, by no means do they motivate applicants to bring their A-game. Here are what top executives ask their job applicants, to distinguish the best from the rest.
Meg Crosby, who worked at Google's HR department, loves to ask, "What are you reading now?" or "What's the last book you read?"
"I wouldn't hire anybody who doesn't read," Crosby told Business Insider. Even if they tell her it was a New York Times article, it's better than saying "nothing."
Andy Bryant, chairman of Intel, likes to ask job applicants: "Which classes were your best classes?" He explains that the question is able to reflect one's intellect, a track record of success, and a desire to be at Intel.
Yasmin Green, head of research and development at Jigsaw, Alphabet's tech incubator has an unusual question for candidates, "How would you make money from an ice-cream stand in Central Park?"
"I'm curious to see how people deal with ambiguity and whether they can have fun while thinking on their feet," she said.
Gary Smith, CEO of broadband and telecommunications company Ciena, wants candidates to explain to him, "How can I tell if you're having a bad day, and how does that manifest itself?"
"If they say they become quiet, then I'll ask, 'Tell me what comes next? How do you deal with it? Do you walk away from the issue?' And I'll drill down on that, because it leads to a lot of good discussions around what motivates them, and what they enjoy about their work and what they don't like about it," he said.
Lori Dickerson Fouché's, president annuities at Prudential Financial, question for applicants is, "What kind of cultures do you like to work in? Where do you excel? How do you excel? If you find yourself in situations where they're not going the way you want them to, what do you do?"
She said the goal is to find resilience and perseverance in the candidate's responses to these questions. "How people conduct themselves when they face challenges is really important," she explained.

So, Saturday was a long day. A good day, mind you, but long. I headed out to Hot Springs, Arkansas a little after lunchtime for a 5 o'clock book signing and reading at the Artchurch Studio. Soon afterward I drove right back, getting home a little after 1 in the morning. That's not a complaint, just so you know. Not at all. It was a perfect day and the Ozark foothills were gorgeous.
Artchurch Studio is now on my list of places I'm most glad to have discovered; an old church converted into a classroom and gathering place for the purposes of teaching and creating and community. Old faded brick and dark lacquered wood. Stained glass and paint splattered tables. There are even pews to accompany the huge pipe organ embedded in the far wall. And, of course, on every other wall, are artworks of every size and shape and medium. Next time you're in Hot Springs, drop by. It'll make you smile.
Many thanks to the folks at Artchurch for their wonderful hospitality, and to my new friends at Imagicopter for putting the evening together — especially to H. David Blalock, for orchestrating it all. Oh, and special thanks to the little old lady who said I looked much handsomer in person than I did in the photo on the back of my book. Seems age does carry with it a certain wisdom, after all.

A year after Columbus sailed the ocean blue, and just fifty years after Guttenberg perfected the printing press, the first literal commentary on the bible was printed.
Nicholas of Lyra's the Biblia Latina was just acquired by the University of Calgary's library. The four-volume book is just one of two in Canada.
"Printing had just been invented about 40-50 years before this book was printed and it's an amazing technological achievement," said U of C Libraries and Cultural Resource vice-provost Thomas Hickerson.
Hickerson noted that beyond its significance because of the accomplishment in printing, the work is important because it was the first commentary to actually look at what the bible was actually saying.
"Nicholas of Lyra was one of the first scholars to actually inquire into the literal sense of the bible," said Hickerson "That's a very important moment in the development of religious thought, leading in the following century to the development of protestant ideas. Martin Luther probably read and may have even had a copy of this commentary."
The book is available for anyone to see and touch--it's on the 12th floor of the Library tower--but because it is in Latin it may limit those who are able to read it. However, Special Collections librarian Appolonia Steele noted that just seeing the text is worth something.
Although the internet is amazing, it's important to see paper and how books were designed at this time, she explained. As well as being an example of early printing, the work has aspects of manuscripts--books written in the past by scribes--and in the early days of the printing press.
"It includes hand-done illuminations in gold and silver, it also includes the caps at the beginning of paragraphs, which an individual artist would do by hand," said Hickerson.
Hickerson agreed being able to physically see the book will provide a good example of the history of printing and publication, especially in contrast to today's environment, as well as probably being the oldest text most will ever touch.
"Think about the way information is distributed today, it really gives you a different perspective on the nature of communication if you can see a work that is 514 years old and then think about your own way you use chat today, or the way you search the web and look across the spectrum of time," he said.
it must be the equivalent of fantasies like the necronomicon, but real!
may it be preserved for all time.

Will Congress and Trump Declare War on WikiLeaks?• http://www.ronpaulinstitute.org
The Senate Intelligence Committee recently passed its Intelligence Authorization Act for 2018 that contains a chilling attack on the First Amendment. Section 623 of the act expresses the "sense of Congress" that WikiLeaks resembles a "non-state hostile intelligence service often abetted by state actors and should be treated as such." This language is designed to delegitimize WikiLeaks, encourage the federal government to spy on individuals working with WikiLeaks, and block access to WikiLeaks' website. This provision could even justify sending US forces abroad to arrest WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange or other WikiLeaks personnel.
WikiLeaks critics claim that the organization's leaks harm US national security. However, these critics are unable to provide a single specific example of WikiLeaks' actions harming the American people. WikiLeaks does harm the reputations of government agencies and politicians, however. For example, earlier this year WikiLeaks released information on the CIA's hacking program. The leaks did not reveal any details on operations against foreign targets, but they did let the American people know how easy it is for the government to hack into their electronic devices.
For the last year, most of the news surrounding WikiLeaks has centered on its leak of emails showing how prominent Democrats worked to undermine Senator Bernie Sanders' presidential campaign. In order to deflect attention from these revelations, Democrats, aided by their allies in the media and even some Republicans, promulgated a conspiracy theory blaming the leaks on Russian hackers working to defeat Hillary Clinton. Even though there is no evidence the Russians were behind the leaks, many in both parties are still peddling the "Putin did it" narrative. This aids an effort by the deep state and its allies in Congress and the media to delegitimize last year's election, advance a new Cold War with Russia, and criminalize WikiLeaks.
If the government is successful in shutting down WikiLeaks by labeling it a "hostile intelligence service," it will use this tactic to silence other organizations and websites as well. The goal will be to create a climate of fear to ensure no one dares publish the revelations of a future Edward Snowden or Chelsea Manning.
Some have suggested that criticizing police brutality, the surveillance state, the Federal Reserve, or even federal spending aids "hostile foreign powers" by weakening the people's "trust in government." This line of reasoning could be used to silence, in the name of "national security," websites critical of the welfare-warfare state.
By labeling WikiLeaks a "hostile intelligence service" and thus legitimizing government action against the organization, the Senate Intelligence Authorization Act threatens the ability of whistleblowers to inform the public about government misdeeds. It also sets a precedent that could be used to limit other types of free speech.

Before I made the leap into becoming a professional makeup artist I went to SUNY Purchase for my undergraduate in Screenwriting. My background in writing and my experience on film has provided me with the best of both worlds in regards to working with actors and writing the characters they play.
I've found that research has benefited me in advancing my craft and in keeping me entertained on a day off, I believe the kids call this "Binge Watching." Whether its watching the new season of House of Cards or all 8 (We don't talk about 9) seasons of Scrubs in a week there is insight in each that I can take as a writer building up a repertoire of interesting characters for my audience to love (or hate.)
Seeing the mannerisms and phrases certain characters use on screen can often help me in understanding character archetypes, you can find more info on character archetypes here! Finding ways in which I can turn them on their heads and bring something fresh to the table.
Not a writer? This method can be applied to actors as well. When looking for roles it can be beneficial to do some research on the types of characters you would like to play, for example, say you are looking to play the goofy yet relatable protagonist, you have the look down but you're not quite sure how you are with the mannerisms. A few hours of Freaks and Geeks or maybe a few episodes of Scrubs (or 169) ought to get you walking around, and possibly tripping on air, landing you that role.
What's your favorite show to "Binge"? Comment below or tweet us @mjbhomeent!

Move over ugly Christmas sweaters, ugly men's Christmas ONESIES are here
A retailer has launched a Christmas romper for men so they can channel their inner Santa or elf
CHRISTMAS used to be all about festive jumper – but that was before this batch of yuletide onesies for men raised the bar.
An online retailer has released a line of ugly male onesies which let you channel your inner elf or Santa during the holidays.
The questionable batch of onesies has been released by Get on Fleek and comes in a range of different snazzy designs.
Each of the bright rompers features short sleeves, buttons, a pocket and collar – and a pair of rather short shorts for those who dare.
Included in the mix is one decorated in popular festive items like lights and baubles, an elf costume, a Santa design and one designed for Hannukah.
Thankfully you don't have to remove the whole thing if nature calls, as there is a handy zipper fly in the shorts.
If you are looking to splash out on the festive onesies, it'll cost you more than just your dignity.
The garish garments cost £76.47 ($99.99), and the price will soon go up to £107 ($139.99) so you'll have to be quick.
They aren't the first male rompers to hit the market.
RompHim, a Chicago-based company, created a romper for lads available for a donation of $95 (£73) on their Kickstarter page. Yes, you read that right.
Gone are the days of picking shirts and shorts to match, the RompHim offers men the opportunity to become even less adept at decision making by giving an easy all-in-one option.
And another bizarre fashion trend is detachable jeans which will set you back a staggering £330.

Trump's Critics Are Referencing Edgar Allan Poe
In spite of what his supporters may believe, Donald Trump's bigoted rhetoric has written almost every joke made at his expense. In a rare exception from the cleverest corners of Tumblr, an Edgar Allan Poe reference has become the perfect response to Donald Trump's rhetoric. Who would have thought that, 170 years after it was first published, "The Cask of Amontillado" would be so popular among social media users?
For those who haven't read it, "The Cask of Amontillado" centers on a wealthy narrator named Montresor, who decides to get revenge on Fortunato for an insult. Fortunato is a lush, and, by the time Montresor meets up with him at a festival, he is already drunk. Montresor invites Fortunato to his wine cellar — a catacomb — to sample his cask of Amontillado sherry. Once Fortunato is in the cellar, Montresor lures him into a niche in the wall, where he chains him. Montresor then seals up the wall with bricks and mortar while Fortunato is still alive.
Tumblr users have seized on the chance to joke about Trump's plan to build a wall along the Mexican border. Funlittleinteresting likes a to mix history with their literature, referencing both Poe's short story and the Berlin Wall. Dogvillage's post, which sports more than 6,000 notes at the time of this writing, reads: "*promises to build a wall for donald trump but only if he drinks some wine in this old cellar*." A more popular — and on-the-nose — post from bubonickitten has earned more than 37,000 notes since Oct. 9 and reads: "someone with a wine cellar please invite trump to their wine cellar with promises of vintage amontillado." And Argumate writes a charming little fantasy:
maybe the real October Surprise is going to be at Obama's masked Halloween party when he offers to show Trump the cask of Amontillado he keeps hidden deep in the vaults beneath the White House
Well, I know what I'm asking the Great Pumpkin for this year.

George Layton (born 2nd March 1943 in Bradford) is an English actor, author and screenwriter. He trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and enjoyed a busy theatrical career during the 1960s, including the Broadway production of Chips with Everything.
He appeared in Coronation Street as Barney Shelton in two episodes in November 1971.
As an actor, his most famous television role was that of Paul Collier in the long-running Doctor sitcoms, beginning with Doctor in the House in 1969. He began contributing scripts to the series during its first sequel Doctor at Large (1971) and continued in the dual role of actor and writer throughout Doctor in Charge (1972-73). Subsequently, he opted out of appearing in any more sequels, but continued to write for Doctor at Sea (1974) and Doctor on the Go (1975). In 1991, Layton resurrected the original characters for a reunion series entitled Doctor at the Top and again wrote scripts and played Collier.
Away from the Doctor series, Layton wrote episodes of numerous sitcoms, including Nearest and Dearest, On the Buses, Romany Jones, My Name is Harry Worth, My Brother's Keeper (in which he also starred), Robin's Nest and Me and My Girl. He also created and wrote two original hit sitcoms for the BBC: Don't Wait Up (1983-90) starring Nigel Havers, and Executive Stress (1986-88) featuring Geoffrey Palmer.

His film credits include: Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush, Carry on Behind, Confessions of a Driving Instructor, Stand Up, Virgin Soldiers and Don't Go Breaking My Heart.
On stage, he has appeared in numerous productions, including Billy Liar (King's Head, Islington) alongside Sherrie Hewson and Rebecca Callard, while in the West End, he performed in Chicago (Adelphi Theatre) and as Fagin in Oliver! (London Palladium).
A published author, his books The Swap and Other Stories, The Fib and Other Stories and The Trick and Other Stories have been included on the National Curriculum for schools.

An organic garden provides you with a much healthier diet. However, you should be aware that organic gardening is hard work. Are you wondering where to start?
Plants require a good amount of CO2 in order to grow to their maximum height. With a high level of CO2 plants will grow much better. The best way to get higher CO2 for your plants is to grow them in a greenhouse. CO2 levels are usually kept high to get the best growing situation for your plants.
Bulbs planted in the spring can flower all the way into summer. Typically, bulbs are simple to grow, and they'll grow every single year. Include a variety of plantings to get a full season of flowers, from early bloomers to late-season varieties.
Try growing some cat grass or wheat grass in the vicinity of the plants that your cat likes to eat. You could also repel your pet by planting rosemary or placing citrus fruit peels around your garden.
If your landscape includes low-growing plants, you should invest in a set of knee pads specifically designed for gardening. Gardening is supposed to be relaxing and enjoyable; you don't want to finish every gardening session with aching, throbbing knees. Wear knee pads meant for gardeners so that you'll be more comfortable when kneeling in your garden.
If you decide to grow peas, think about planting them indoors when you first start them off, as opposed to planting them outdoors. If you were to plant them inside first, the seeds should germinate better. You will also have hardy seedlings that will be able to resist disease and pests much better. Once they grow a bit bigger, the seedlings can be easily transplanted to an outdoor garden.
As you've read, organic gardening requires work, effort, and research so that you can grow organic plants. For the best results, you need to be dedicated to the work. Keep the tips offered in mind and you can see more success.

PRINCE PHILIP SWEARS at Photographer – "Just Take the F***ing Picture"
The Duke of Edinburgh, an old Naval hand, appeared to revert to some salty language during an overlong photocall at events to mark the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Britain.
Losing patience as a photographer dithered, the famously straight-talking Prince Philip, 94, seemingly commanded: "Just take the fucking picture!" His exasperation erupted during a photocall at the RAF Club, which Philip attended with the Duke of Cambridge and the Earl and Countess of Wessex.
The moment was caught on video by TV cameras during a day of events commemorating the start of the Battle of Britain in July 1940, which earlier had featured senior members of the royal family, including the Queen, watching an RAF flypast from the balcony of Buckingham Palace.
He looked visibly distressed at the time it was taking, while others laughed at Duke's outburst. On stroking a koala – "Oh no, I might catch some ghastly disease!" 2. To Indigenous leader William Brin in Queensland – "Do you still throw spears at each other?" 3. On seeing a piezo-meter water gauge in Australia – "A pissometer?" When offered wine in Rome, he snapped, "I don't care what kind it is, just get me a beer!" The Battle of Britain – named by Winston Churchill before it even began – was the first major defeat for Germany in World War II, and although the war continued for five more years, it is widely seen as one of a just a handful of 'turning points' for the allied forces.
This week's revelation that the wealthy are purchasing secret hideaways in remote locations in order to escape social upheaval and possible riots is the culmination of Zbigniew Brzezinski's warning that a worldwide "political awakening" is serving to derail the move towards further global centralization of power. Economist Robert Johnson made headlines at the recent Davos Economic Forum when he revealed that "hedge fund managers all over the world….are buying airstrips and farms in places like New Zealand because they think they need a getaway." royal photography photo "battle of britain" british "great britain" uk london "united kingdom" picture pic social society respect 2015 2016 "prince philip" "group photo" selfie anger angry naval navy history historic anniversary celebration camera DSLR video funny prank RAF "royal airforce" studio "photo studio" perfection elite wealthy wealth news media entertainment "elite nwo agenda" medal david icke problem reaction solution anonymous we are change coast to coast am alex jones infowars rant crazy illuminati george soros billionaire super rich lifestyle new world order louis farrakhan
"The world is a very scary place right now, especially for people of means; they feel cornered and threatened," said Tom Gaffney, the president of Gaffco Ballistics, which has installed a number of safe rooms around New York City. "When you have so much to lose, and you can afford to, you put a premium on your safety." The entrepreneurs are driven by a certitude that rebuilding, regenerating, and reprogramming patients' organs, limbs, cells, and DNA will enable people to live longer and better. The work they are funding includes hunting for the secrets of living organisms with insanely long lives; engineering microscopic nanobots that can fix your body from the inside out; figuring out how to reprogram the DNA you were born with; and exploring ways to digitize your brain based on the theory that your mind could live long after your body expires.
The U.S. fought a war of independence against the British control of its government and economy, yet modern day Americans fawn over the royal family, whom they identify with. This is the result of deliberate social engineering campaigns to build celebrity and importance around a parasitic and tyrannical gang that has led and funded Eugenics, carbon taxes, population reduction and much more. Many among the elite believe that the "transhumanism" movement will eventually allow them to completely merge with technology and essentially become part-human/part-machine cyborgs which will have indefinite lifespans.

Najam1 and 7 visitors disagree.
Robbers who don't have jobs as false god police will take someone's guns and cocaine if they can find either. Some of them have police friends who will help them take guns and cocaine from others by telling lies to get search warrants.
People using and selling cocaine sometimes have a little money left over to buy a gun.
The false gods will take guns and cocaine for themselves to use, sell, give to their employer.
