Ellé : My Favourite Records
About a year ago, I began a musical pilgrimage. Curious as to where most of my favourite acts get their influences, I decided to listen to the back catalogues of some of the worlds greatest artists.
Already a huge fan of The Beatles and David Bowie, I began re-listening to what were already some of my favourite albums. From there I moved on to the likes of T-Rex, The Rolling Stones, to Pink Floyd, The Smiths, and even relatively modern day acts such as Coldplay.
For my first post on Perfect Mixtape, I decided to write up a list of my favourite 5.
5 : The Beatles - Revolver
This Album metaphorically fell into my lap.
Me and my husband often spend some of our time watching music videos on YouTube, and the final track from this record, 'Tomorrow Never Knows' popped up as a suggested track. From there I rediscovered the brilliance of this album, in a way I wouldn't have understood back when I was 13.
The euphoric, unpredictable and trippy tendencies of this album have led it to become my favourite by The Beatles. You can find a song for any mood and situation, but it ultimately works best to listen from beginning to end.
Favourite Track : Tomorrow Never Knows
4 : Pulp - Different Class
I think at some point over the years I've heard most of the songs from this album, but only recently heard them as intended, and discovered how brilliant the record is as a whole.
Some of Pulps most iconic singles are on the album, such as 90's anthem 'Common People', and some tracks that really surprise you. I particularly liked the unusual 'I Spy', a song I felt had taken influence from Pet Shop Boys.
Favourite Track : Sorted For E's & Wizz
3 : The Velvet Underground & Nico
Arguably the most influential record ever released, The Velvet Underground & Nico has the ability to transport you in time. The avant-garde 1960's New York is felt in every track, be it the glamour of 'Femme Fatale' or the morbid but perceptual 'Heroin'.
I first heard of the record at a friends birthday, when she recieved a copy of the vinyl as a gift. Since then I have fallen for every single track. It has an indefinable sound that I seek out in music, and the magic doesn't stop with time travel, it has the ability to make you feel narcotized.
Favourite Track : Venus In Furs
2 : David Bowie - Hunky Dory
I debated for quite some time on which order to put the next two records. This may seem like a futile thing to debate, but I'm a sucker for properly conducted lists.
Hunky Dory is in my opinion, the coolest album of all time. With songs like 'Andy Warhol' it isn't hard to see why; The Velvet Undergrounds influence is evident. To me it sounds like a 'how to' on being strange but chic. I adore the song 'Kooks' which I feel is a song I needed age 14. It's Bowie telling you that being weird is fine; inviting you to his party.
Favourite Song : Life On Mars (obviously)
3 : David Bowie - The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars
The reason Ziggy is my number one is that it fills me with so much emotion. It was the first Bowie album I really fell for, and still has the ability to make me weep within the first verse of 'Five Years'.
You can also feel Bowie's fascination with astronomy in this record, with songs such as 'Moonage Daydream' and 'Starman'. Astronomy is something my curious mind has begun to delve into, and this is just the perfect soundtrack.
Favourite Song : Moonage Daydream

Serious side effects of NSAIDs have been known for a while. A December 1, 1998, story in USA Today noted that 16,500 people died from bleeding stomach ulcers brought on by NSAID use and that 80 percent of those had no symptoms prior to death. A Danish study published in the British Medical Journal in January 2001 found a strong link between the use of prescription NSAIDs by pregnant women and miscarriage.
A study sponsored by The National Institute on Aging to determine whether Celebrex or Naproxen could prevent Alzheimer's disease was halted when it became apparent that those taking Naproxen developed a 50 percent higher risk of heart attack and stroke than those taking a placebo. In fact Naproxen is so detrimental to one's health that those who have been taking the over-the-counter version, Aleve, for nearly three years are now advised to stop using it, while those who want to start taking it are advised to limit their use to no more than 400mg per day for no longer than ten days.


Welcome to PE at Providence Christian Academy. I am blessed to have the opportunity to teach Physical Education K-12 here at PCA.
PE consists of education through a physical concept. I aim to develop students' physical competence and knowledge of movement and safety, and their ability to use these to perform a wide range of activities associated with the development of an active and healthy lifestyle.
Students 6-12 must come to PE in the proper attire. Order forms will be sent home the first week of school for PE Uniforms and approved items. Students must actively participate in the days activity. Grading is based on proper dress (6-12), proper shoes, effort, positive attitude and participation.
I am looking forward to another year of organizing games and challenges that promote physical activity for our youth.


I am involved with another project in computer forensic where I have to prove that several video files are intact (was not added or removed content). I thought it would be easy but I'm a little difficulty.
I thought of running ffprobe command to see the file characteristics and got the following output.
Give this value multiplied by the amount of 30 fps and obtained the following value: 2767 * 30 = 83610.
I understand the output for the command, the pkt_pos line = 16330824 has the number of the frames in the video file.
The calculated value (2767 * 30 = 83610) and read the value in the attribute (pkt_pos = 16,330,824) are vastly different.
Can anybody help me to see where the error? An is a interpretation or arithmetic error?
Please forgive the bad English!

Az Appennini-félsziget egészét, vagyis a történelmi Itáliát először Julius Caesar vonta Italia néven egységes közigazgatás alá. Italia nem számított a tartományok (provinciák) közé, hanem különleges jogállású régiók alkották.

Augustus császár korában Italia a következő közigazgatási régiókra tagolódott:
 Regio I Latium et Campania
 Regio II Apulia et Calabria
 Regio III Lucania et Brutii
 Regio IV Samnium
 Regio V Picenum
 Regio VI Umbria et Ager Gallicus
 Regio VII Etruria
 Regio VIII Aemilia
 Regio IX Liguria
 Regio X Venetia et Histria
 Regio XI Transpadana

Az itáliai városoknak két típusa volt, a nagyobb önállósággal rendelkező municipiumok és a római hadsereg által alapított coloniák.

Földosztás

Augustus rendeletében olvashatjuk, hogyan vásárolt földet Itáliában az elbocsátott veterán katonák részére a császár a városok területén: a szöveg latinul "Pecuniam  pro  agris  quos  in  consulatu  meo  quarto  et postea  consulibus  M.  Crasso  et  Cn.  Lentulo  Augure  adsignavi  militibus  solvi  municipis; ea summa  sestertium  circiter  sexsiens  milliens fuit quam pro Italicis praedis numeravi, et circiter bis milliens et sescentiens quod pro  agris  provincialibus  solvi.  Id  primus  et  solus  omni um  qui  deduxerunt  colonias  militum  in  Italia  aut  in  provincis  ad  memoriam  aetatis  meae  feci."
Azaz magyarul: "A municipiumoknak megfizettem azoknak a földeknek az árát, amelyeket negyedik consulságom évében (Kr. e. 30), majd M. Crassus és Cn. Lentulus Augur consulsága alatt (Kr. e. 14) a katonáknak kiosztottam. Az összeg, amelyet az italiai földekért kifizettem, körülbelül 600 millió sestertiusra, a tartományi földekért kifizetett összeg pedig körülbelül 260 millió sestertiusra rúgott. Mindazok közül, akik eddig Italiában vagy a provinciákban katonai telepeket alapítottak, ezt elsőnek és egyedül én tettem."

Indramat has been making remarkable servo motors for decades. One of the newest is the IndraDyn MAD motor, a current product from the company that now owns Indramat. The new motor series name, IndraDyn, honors Indramat's legacy as an innovative producer of highest quality servo motors.
The MAD motor is part of the IndraDyn A series of asynchronous motors. These motors, featuring a squirrel-cage rotor and an attached ventilating fan, are known for their high performance and high throughput.
The MAF series is like the MAD motors, but with liquid cooling systems. The air-cooled models are all MAD motors. These motors are most often used in demanding applications such as printing, paper processing, metal-forming machine tools, and packaging. These motors are not designed for extreme environments. If you need a servo that can be used underwater or in extreme ambient temperatures, you should choose a different model.
You can purchase MAD motors new. However, the high quality of these motors means that they can be factory repaired to a like-new standard. MAD motors were specifically designed to be repair-friendly. As with all Indramat products, that means factory repair. Third-party repair shops do not have access to the original parts or specs. Factory repair is not just a matter of tinkering around to make the motor work. All wearing parts are replaced and your unit returns to you with a warranty.
MAD motors are used as rotary main-spindle and servo-drive motors. They come in power levels from 10 to 93 kW. They have a maximum speed of 11,000 rpm. The various motors may have holding brakes and fan cowls. "MAD" refers to the motor type. The three digits following "MAD" (for example, "100" or "225") refer to the frame size. The letter, for example "B" or "D," gives the frame length. This is followed by a four-digit code for the winding length. Additional numbers and letters give details of bearings, brakes, and more.
No matter which MAD motor you have, we will provide service and repair quickly and efficiently, minimizing costly downtime.

THE 6 ARTICLES OF FAITH OR THE PILLARS OF EEMAN
The 6 Articles of Faith are Islamically called as Arkan E Eeman/Imaan or the 6 pillars of Eeman. The 6 articles of faith comes in a famous hadith called as The Hadith of Jibreel or Hadees E Jibreel. In the hadith of the Gabriel (Gibreel), related by 'Umar ibn al-Khattab (R), a companion of the Prophet Muhammad (May Allah honour Him and grant Him Peace) and the second Khalifa or Caliph of an Islamic state, the basic aspects of the Islam are laid out. [1]
Six Pillars
Details of Eeman
Belief in Allah
Belief in the "Last Day"
Belief in "His Angels
Belief in Allah's "Books"
Belief in Allah's Messengers
Belief in Divine Decree (Al Qadr)
Righteousness is not that you turn your faces toward the east or the west, but [true] righteousness is [in] one who believes in Allah , the Last Day, the angels, the Book, and the prophets. Qur'an.Surah Baqrah 2:177. And the sixth pillar of eeman is mentioned in Qur'an.Surah Taghabun 64:11, Surah Qamar 54:49 and Surah Furqan 25:2. [2]
"Tell me about belief (iman)."The Prophet (May Allah honour Him and grant Him Peace) replied, "It is to believe in Allah; His Angels; His Books; His Messengers; the Last Day; and in destiny—its good and bad." Sahih Muslim Vol 1: 6 [3]
Six pillars of Eeman or Belief
1. Absolute and total belief and acceptance in the Oneness of Allah.
2. Absolute and total belief and acceptance in all the appointed Prophets of Allah.
3. Absolute and total belief and acceptance in all the revealed Scriptures of Allah.
4. Absolute and total belief and acceptance in the Angels of Allah.
5. Absolute and total belief and acceptance in the concept of the Hereafter, Paradise and Hell Fire, etc.
6. Absolute and total belief and acceptance in the 'Qadr' or Divine Decrees of Allah. [4]
1. Belief in Allah
With respect to actual definitions of Tawheed there are three main branches which is derived by scholars based on the teachings of Qur'an, the indication of 3 categories are mentioned in Qur'an.Surah Mariam 19:65.
a. Tawheed al-Ruboobiyah:The belief in the Lordship of Allah; the oneness of Allah concerning His actions, His being the sole Creator and the only One who sustains and maintains the creation (Qur'an.Surah Fatiha 1:1, Surah Anam6: 14 and Sura Muminoon 23: 84-89)
b. Tawheed al-Uloohiyah:The belief that all acts and forms of worship must be directed to Allah and Allah alone, as He is the only One worthy and deserving of worship; to hope in Allah, to make supplication to Allah, to show gratitude to Allah alone (Qur'an.Sura al-Dhaariyaat 51: 56; Sura al-Israa 17:23; Sura al-Araaf 7:59,65,83,85; Sura Hood 13:50,61,84; Sura al-Muminoon 23:23,32)
c. Tawheed al-Asma wa al-Sifaat:Believing in all of the names and attributes of Allah as mentioned in the Qur'an and authentic hadith, without distortion or anthropomorphic interpretation or figurative/poetic interpretation of their respective meanings(Qur'an.Surah Isra 17:110, Surah Taha 20:8 and Sura al-Shoora 42:11). The scholars say, the correct Faith in Allah's attributes means believing in them without denying them or their meanings (ta`teel), without interpreting them and changing their meanings (tahreef), without explaining how they are (takyeef) or likening Allah's attributes to those of the creation (tamtheel).
2. Belief in the "Last Day"
It is the second article of faith and it means to recognize that there will be no day after this day and that people will reside forever in either Paradise or Hell. The belief in this Day implies belief in everything mentioned about it in the Qur'an or authentic ahadith—which are numerous and difficult to summarize here. It is highly recommended for Muslims to learn as much about this day as possible so that one may prepare well for its eventuality. One of the most important beliefs about this Day is that all of humanity will be resurrected as they once were—with the same body. Also, to believe that Allah will judge with justice and only He knows how the "balances/mizaan" will be set on that Day. This will not be a "metaphysical" experience—rather, it will be a real, actual, physical event, as will be the existence in either paradise, or hell. It is important for the believer to realize that we all will face an earlier "judgment" of our own and this occurs when a person enters the grave. In the grave the soul will enter its own realm, known as Al-Barzakh. It is in this realm that the soul will experience either punishment or reward. What should this belief do for us as we live now?
a. It should make the believer rush to do good deeds
b. It should prevent the believer from partaking in sinful deeds
c. The justice on that Day should bring solace and comfort to the heart of the believer—good deeds and sacrifice will not have been done in vain and evil doers will have what they earned
d. Without belief in Allah and the Last Day, what would be the purpose of this life? (Qur'an.Surah Saad 37:27)
3. Belief in "His Angels"
It is the third article of faith, which is an essential belief of Islam as it leads to belief in the Qur'an; meaning, that since it was the role of Angel Jibreel to bring the Qur'anic revelations to the Prophet Muhammadﷺ then belief in the Qur'an cannot be confirmed unless a person believes in the angels.
Further, Angles are to be regarded as strictly a type of creation of Allah—not as daughters of Allah, which was the belief of the mushrikeen; angels do not have any divine qualities. Angels are made from "light," but still have a physical form and body. Also, angels submit fully to the commandments of Allah and have no choice in that matter. As such, they never stray from what is true and correct. Next, there are 5 aspects of belief in angels:
a. First is to believe that they actually do exist.
b.Second, is to believe in their names—at least the ones that have been mentioned in the Qur'an and/or authentic hadith. These names include Jibreel, Mikhael and Israfil.
c. Thirdly, angels have specific attributes as mentioned in the Qur'an and/or authentic hadith. These attributes include being able to change form, such as the human form that Jibreel took in this hadith. Also, their actual form—this is in reference to when the Prophet (saw) saw Jibreel covering the entire horizon and adorned with 600 wings.
d. Fourth is to believe in the actions that angels perform—again, as revealed in the Qur'an and/or authentic hadith. Examples include Jibreel's role as "life of the heart," meaning the angel who is in charge of revelation; Mikhael's role in rain and vegetation; Israfil's role in blowing of the trumpet; the role of the two angels who accompany every human being to record his/her deeds (Qur'an.Surah Qaaf:17-18).
e. Lastly, is to have a strong love for the angels due to their complete and total obedience to Allah and due to their love of true believers in Allah, for the angels make supplication to Allah for forgiveness on the behalf of the believers.
4. Belief in Allah's "Books"
It is the fourth article of faith and refers to the revelation from Allah to humankind. The revelations of these books were sent as a mercy from Allah to provide guidance for humanity to attain victory and success in this life and in the life hereafter. It should be noted that the Qur'an came to confirm the previous scriptures and so a Muslim does not need to turn to any other revelation other then the Qur'an. (Surah Maaidah 5:48) Also, the Qur'an stands as the final revelation for all humankind, until the Day of Judgment and, thus, Allah has protected the Qur'an from any distortion or tampering (Surah al-Hijr 15:9). There are 4 aspects to this belief:
a. First to believe that these books were truly revealed from Allah, and no other source.
b. Second to believe the books themselves as mentioned in the Qur'an and/or authentic hadith: the Taurah revealed to Musa (as); the Zaboor revealed to Da'oud (as); the Injeel revealed to 'Eesa or Isa (as); the Qur'an revealed to Muhammadﷺ; the "pages" revealed to Ibrahim (as) and Musa (as).
c. Third is to believe in everything that Allah had revealed in these books—the Muslim has no choice in this matter; if a person rejects any part of revelation then he/she has negated belief in Allah's "books." (Qur'an.Surah al-Baqara 2:85) ***It is important to note that, other then the Qur'an, the previous revelations have been distorted and/or added to. Therefore, the Muslim believes in the Taurah, but does not have to believe in the first five books of the Old Testament.
d. Fourth is to act according to the Qur'an, to be pleased with what it commands and to submit to its commands willingly and completely—regardless of whether or not a person understands the wisdom behind its statements.
5. Belief in Allah's Messengers
It is the fifth article of faith and includes belief that Allah chose His messengers from among the angels and humans (Qur'an.Surah al-Hajj 22:75; Surah al-Anaam 6:124). All the messengers to humanity were simple, human beings that did not have any divine attributes. Also, to believe that Muhammad (May Allah honour Him and grant Him Peace) is the last of the messengers (Qur'an.Sura al-Ahzaab 33:40).
In terms of what is the difference between a Prophet and a Messenger: a prophet is a person who was granted knowledge of Islam and did not necessarily spread that message/knowledge beyond his own immediate village or tribe. A messenger, however, also received the revelation, but was also obligated to spread that message beyond his own immediate surroundings. Thus, all messengers were first prophets, while not all prophets were messengers; this means that when Allah says that Muhammad (saw) is the "Seal of the Prophets," then he (May Allah honour Him and grant Him Peace) is also the seal of the messengers. What sets Muhammadﷺ apart from the other messengers is that his (May Allah honour Him and grant Him Peace) message is for all time and for all humankind until the Day of Judgment.
There are 4 aspects to believe in here:
a. To believe that the message of all prophets is the truth from Allah. To deny a prophet who is confirmed in the Qur'an and/or authentic ahadith is, in fact, denying them all. This is what separates the Jews from the Christians and is what separates both of these groups from the Muslims.
b. To believe in all the Messengers and Prophets mentioned by named in the Qur'an and/or authentic ahadith. Also, those that are not mentioned by name should be recognized on a "general" level, as Allah sent messengers to every nation that has ever existed on the face of the Earth from the beginning of humankind's existence (Qur'an.Surah Ghaafir 40:78).
c. To believe in everything that every prophet stated and that they all communicated their messages completely and properly, from Allah. Also, they put full effort into conveyance of the message and that they were the best in knowledge and the best worshippers of Allah.
d. Lastly, to submit, accept and act in accordance with the law of the messenger who ha been sent for this guidance (Qur'an.Surah al-Nisaa 4:64-65).
6. Belief in Divine Decree (Al Qadr)
It is the sixth and final pillar of eeman, the good and evil thereof. As such, the Prophet (May Allah honour Him and grant Him Peace) knew this would be and has thus re-stated the words "to believe in," which means that this is a crucial aspect to the completion of one's Eeman or Iman. Again, there are 4 aspects of belief:
a. Belief in Allah's knowledge of everything—universal and particulars of every living and non-living thing, before its existence. Allah has foreknowledge of all the deeds of the creation and has foreknowledge of all forms of sustenance such as rain, giving life, etc. and this is all part of His ever-existing, eternal knowledge (Qur'an.Surah al-Anaam 6:59).
b. Belief in that all things have been recorded before the creation of the heavens and the Earth in Al-Lauh al-Mahfooz, known as the "preserved tablet," (Qur'an.Sura al-Hajj:70, Surah al-Hadeed 57:22). There are 4 types of "pre-recording" which include: (i) the pre-existant measure by the knowledge All that is recorded in the preserved tablet; (ii) Allah's decree concerning the life of a person who is still in the womb of the mother (life span, sustenance, deeds, and whether a person is successful or miserable); (iii) a yearly determination that occurs on Lailat al Qadr; (iv) a daily pre-measuring for everything that occurs daily (Qur'an.Surah al-Rahmaan 55:29)
c. To believe that Allah decrees everything that is in existence and if He does not will something than it will not come into existence. This refers to giving life, all acts performed by humans, all forms of sustenance (Qur'an.Surah al-Baqara 2:253)
d. Belief in Allah's creation of everything and making everything "be" (Qur'an.Surah Al-Furqaan 25:1-2; Surah al-Zumar 39:62; Surah al-Qamar 54:49; Surah al-Saafaat 37:96)
What is the result of believing in Qadr?
a. When a person realizes that everything is under the control of Allah, than that person frees him/herself from shirk
b. When a person puts his/her reliance totally on Allah than he/she begins to see the "causes and effects" that occur daily
c. It keeps a person from becoming arrogant, prideful or boastful because he/she realizes that accomplishments come about only from Allah and, thus, becomes thankful for things that happen and things that don't happen—whether or not issues are perceived, outwardly, as "good" or "bad."
d. Gives tranquility to the mind—a person does not despair or give up hope. Rather, he/she realizes that there is a purpose behind everything that occurs. (Qur'an.Surah Hadeed 57:22-23)
e. Gives a person strength and courage because he/she knows that Allah has recorded his/her lifespan and sustenance and that Allah will take care of all His creation.
f. If a person does not believe in Qadr then that person does not see a goal or purpose to this life. But, if a person does believe and seeks the help of Allah then surely Allah will help him/her. [5]

Older voters in select cities and towns on Election Day will have the chance to cast their ballots and fight the flu at the same time. Flu vaccine clinics will be stationed next to polling sites in 26 communities across the nation on November 7 as part of the "Vote and Vax" initiative, a public health program designed to make it easier for those 50 years and older to protect themselves during the flu season.
The program is supported by a $320,000 grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the nation's largest philanthropy devoted to improving the health and health care of all Americans. Launched in 1996, the Vote and Vax initiative targets communities across the country in which flu shot delivery rates are typically low. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommend that all Americans ages 50 and over receive annual flu shots to help limit the spread of the influenza virus. Elderly people are particularly vulnerable to the disease, which kills more than 32,000 people over age 65 every year, making it among the most prevalent killers of older Americans.
"Influenza is one of the deadliest wintertime diseases and yet is also one of the most easily preventable," says Jane Isaacs Lowe, Ph.D., senior program officer with the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. "The Vote and Vax initiative is a creative and effective way to provide flu shots and other important public health services for the members of our society who need them most."
The Vote and Vax program is directed by Sickness Prevention Achieved through Regional Collaboration (SPARC), a Connecticut-based community health program. Since the program's inception, SPARC has expanded the number of participating sites during each successive election cycle. On this Election Day, the program will operate sites in 26 U.S. cities in 17 states, the largest effort to date.
"This is a simple, convenient way for older adults to get their flu shots," says Dr. Douglas Shenson, president of SPARC. "You don't have to vote to get vaccinated, but for a lot of Americans, the convenience of casting a ballot and protecting yourself from the flu at the same time is an attractive option."
Those wishing to receive a flu shot at Vote and Vax clinics can pay on-site or by showing a valid Medicare, Medicaid, or private health insurance card along with legal identification. In addition to flu shots, sites may also be able to provide vaccines against other common diseases, such as pneumonia, hepatitis, and tetanus.
For details about which cities will host Vote and Vax clinics, see the list below. For more information, contact Evan Burness or Laurie Hawkins.
The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation focuses on the pressing health and health care issues facing our country. As the nation's largest philanthropy devoted exclusively to improving the health and health care of all Americans, the Foundation works with a diverse group of organizations and individuals to identify solutions and achieve comprehensive, meaningful and timely change. For more than 30 years the Foundation has brought experience, commitment, and a rigorous, balanced approach to the problems that affect the health and health care of those it serves. When it comes to helping Americans lead healthier lives and get the care they need, the Foundation expects to make a difference in your lifetime. For more information, visit rwjf/.
SPARC (Sickness Prevention Achieved through Regional Collaboration), is a nonprofit agency committed to developing new approaches to delivering preventive medical services. The organization is focused on broadening access to immunizations, cancer screening, and the prevention of heart disease and stroke. SPARC was founded in 1995, beginning its activities in a 4-county area in southern New England. The organization's projects have made a significant impact on the delivery of preventive services in the region, and SPARC has garnered awards from national, state, and local public health organizations. The agency is supported through partnerships with medical care systems, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as well as local, regional, and national philanthropies, including The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.

Movie Review: Grandma (2015)
Howard Schumann
Recipient of a Golden Globes nomination for Best Actress in a musical or comedy, Lily Tomlin ("Grace and Frankie" TV series) may be a bit over-the-top as the tough, outspoken, and cantankerous 70-something Elle in Paul Weitz' ("Little Fockers") Grandma, but she is also very funny and very real. If you've heard of tough love and ruthless compassion, you will know what you are getting. Divided into six chapters labeled "Endings," "Ink," "Apes," "The Ogre," "Kids," and "Dragonflies" we first see Elle in the process of breaking off her same-sex relationship with her young lover Olivia (Judy Greer, "Ant-Man") and it is not gentle. A feminist poet who hasn't written in a while, Elle is good with words and uses them to best advantage in her split with Olivia, telling her, "You're a footnote."
If Elle thought that she would finally be left alone to ride off into the sunset, her expectation is thwarted when her granddaughter, the teenage Sage (impeccably played by Julia Garner, "The Perks of Being a Wallflower"), suddenly shows up unannounced with something on her mind other than to see what's for dinner. Turns out, Sage is pregnant and needs $630 to pay for an abortion which she has scheduled for later the same afternoon. Unfortunately, grandma pleads poverty, admitting to cutting up her credit cards and hanging them on her porch as a mobile. After some choice words to Sage, none of which are particularly comforting, the two set out in a barely running 1955 Dodge Royal to try to find friends that can help.
The journey quickly becomes an exercise in nostalgia but little else and the money is still found wanting. Along the way, Elle and Sage meet Deathy (Laverne Cox, "Orange is the New Black" TV series) a trans tattooist who makes a small contribution but they strike out with Carla (the late Elizabeth Peña, "Modern Family" TV series), a coffee shop owner, who won't give much for the first edition books Elle tries to peddle. A short visit with Cam (Nat Wolff, "The Intern"), reveals that the young father-to-be has never heard of the word "responsibility," and is soon the recipient of a hockey stick to the groin engineered by dear old Elle.
Perhaps the most affecting visit is with Karl (Sam Elliott, "Did You Hear About the Morgans?"), Elle's former husband whom she abruptly left thirty years ago and left a legacy of resentment and betrayal. A meeting with Judy (Marcia Gay Harden, "Fifty Shades of Grey"), Elle's daughter and Sage's mother, produces more promising results, but only after much painful conversation. To say that Grandma is filled with abrasive characters is to state the obvious, but, beneath the hard shell, the film has a lot of heart that leaves us with the feeling that, in their journey, each character has discovered depths they didn't know were there.

No One Else Can Have You started off with a great introduction to a quiet, yet strange small town and led into a mysterious killer on the loose with a young eccentric aspiring journalist turned investigator looking for the truth. I was pretty much sold on the creepy yet eye-catching cover and whole premise to match. This book was definitely unique, a different type of YA mystery that had its moments, but left me enjoying it nonetheless.
I have plenty of things to say about Kippy. She was certainly odd, as was the rest of this book, and maybe slightly unhinged to some degree. She started off angry at her best friend, missing her and finding out maybe she didn't really like Kippy's company entirely, to becoming a good friend by discovering the truth about Ruth's death. I thought it was brave (and probably crazy as hell) that Kippy was going around the town looking for some sick killer. Kippy, you see, was inexperienced, innocent, and irrational at the worst of times. At her best times, she was excited, very enthusiastic, and unwilling to just let something go when she got all riled up. At first she was totally clueless, but when things started to click, she would just light up and that made me smile. Kippy could act immature, but there was intelligence somewhere in her personality even though half the time I asked myself what the heck she was doing. She was a fun character and she sort of reminded me of SRB's Kami from Unspoken.
While for me, the heart of the story was Kippy and the murder, the town and the people within the town were a sort of backdrop. They were behind the scenes and a few characters did play a major role in the forefront of it all. I have to say that the town was half creepy and half ignorant, especially the Sheriff. I think they were all clouded by their fear and how they wanted it to just end; they weren't really looking into Ruth's murder. I did however find that some of their customs had me rolling my eyes but I sort of liked the quirkiness of it all. There were lots of dark humor and some satire that I'm sure others would enjoy as well. Lots of the time, it seemed the small town and its residents were being made fun of. It was funny, but also frustrating too. The whole town was just a little too out there for me and a few times it got a little offensive when it came to mental illness other things.
I thought that the plot and the pacing needed work. It was a fun and weird mystery novel for sure, but I found that some parts were slow or completely irrelevant. I also thought that some events were a little outrageous and unbelievable. And then sometimes things were just all over the place, so it was a little hard to follow, especially with Kippy's erratic behavior. However, the ending really made this book better for me. It was so unexpected and it took a surprising turn. The ending really tied everything together and made it more understandable that I was glad I stuck through it.
Overall, No One Else Can Have You was a strange YA mystery novel that I actually enjoyed despite its oddness and somewhat eye rolling plot line. It was surely out of the ordinary, a little charming, and as eerie as the moose hanging from that noose on the cover.

From Tar Valon Library
A similar entry appears in the Wheel of Time Companion confirming the information available in the main story arc.
Author: Taimi Vandene
Ara is employee of the Stag and Lion inn, in Baerlon. He is slight and dark-haired. He has a Baerlon accent; it is noted that "he and Master Fitch sound like they had a mouth full of mush".
He serves Rand, Thom, and other male members of their company while they're having a bath in the Stag and Lion. He isn't very talkative at first, and Rand doesn't receive from him any good answers to his questions about Baerlon. He notes that Rand has a funny accent. Only later, when Rand and his companions are bathing, does Ara becomes a bit more talkative.
Ara being afraid to trust them made Rand feel, for the first time, how alone they really were in the world.
(Reference: The Eye of the World, Chapter 14)
"Trouble? Miners having fistfights in the streets in the dark of the morning aren't trouble. Or..." He stopped and eyed them a moment. "I meant the Ghealdan kind of trouble," he said finally. "No, I suppose not. Nothing but sheep downcountry, is there? No offense. I just meant it's quiet down there. Still, it's been a strange winter. Strange things in the mountains. I heard the other day there were Trollocs up in Saldaea. But that's the Borderlands then, isn't it?". He finished with his mouth still open, then snapped it shut, appearing surprised that he had said so much. (Ara; The Eye of the World, Chapter 14)

Another year, another Planetshakers release! Yep, you did hear that right, and no, your ears were not deceiving you. After last year's series of EP's (Heaven And Earth 1, 2, and 3), culminating in the full length album titled…yep, you guessed it: Heaven And Earth; the Aussie worship movement has decided…that it's time for yet another new EP. A few months ago Rain Pt 1 (Live) – EP dropped to all stores, and now we are met with five more songs clocking in at around nearly 40 minutes; in Rain Pt 2 (Live) – EP. Now I love the Aussie band, and they've had some good hits in the past. Plenty of songs from the early and mid 2000's are tracks that I'd gladly listen to again and again, and still be blessed and inspired by them. So while you can read all of our reviews of Planetshakers' albums here; at this point one might be thinking and maybe saying aloud 'enough is enough, time to bunker down, write 'good' music, and take 2-3 years to record an album'. I know, it's a harsh statement, but I'm thinking that too. At this point, one may say that Planetshakers may not be relevant anymore, given the sheer volume of albums they release every year. For me I am certainly getting to that stage where I'm thinking 'another Planetshakers album- really?'. Even though there's always a couple of songs that pique my interest and really grab my attention in a good way; it's still perplexing that the band doesn't just wait and release Rain as a full length album this year. Though these five songs in their own right are inspiring; I have found that repeated listens show that these songs aren't as engaging as their counterparts from a few months ago- and I reckon that if Part 3 of Rain releases soon, I may not even review that project. Is this statement controversial.
Probably the only song on this project with emotional impact is the EP opener "Only Way". I reckon the song is the most personal and emotional song that Planetshakers have ever recorded. An explosive guitar led pop/rock anthem, which released last month and was inspired by the tumultuous ordeal of lead singer Joth Hunt's surgery to remove a cancerous tumor early last year; "Only Way" was born with Joth in the midst of a desperate situation, and just like Joth has been give comfort by his own song; so too does he want others in Australia and in the entire world to be impacted by God moving in his own life. Originally when I heard this song without hearing the story behind the track- or even reading the press release, I had my doubts, considering what happened all those years ago with Mike Guglielmucci. But after I did my research and now that I know what Joth experienced last year, "Only Way" takes on greater significance and meaning- and is one of my favourite songs of the year thus far. There's nothing much more that needs to be said about this song- but I suggest you watch the documentaries on Youtube chronicling Joth's emotional journey through the removal of cancer process. "Only Way" carries more weight after viewing the videos- and after listening to this song prior to the EP release, I had high hopes for the rest of the EP, that it would live up to the hype and praise of "Only Way"!
Oh how wrong I was. "I Choose You" is next and immediately pales in comparison. A dance/pop number, there's repetition, EDM music and clichés abound, making for a very distracting anthem that means well, but is executed quite poorly. Both "Anything Can Happen" and "Take Your Place" are equally as engaging and compelling as each other (which is good, as their both standouts!), and Sam Evans leads these tracks quite nicely; however these songs are so similar musically (and lyrically) to each other, which is a drawback, as well as these songs way, way, way absurdly long duration at nearly 10 minutes each. The EP ends with a middling, solid slow ballad "God Is On The Throne", which imparts to us that Jesus is on the throne and that alone is cause for praising Him- yet other than that sentiment, nothing much more about the track stands out, which is a shame.
Rain Pt 2 is miles below Rain Pt 1, which was overall a solid and competent EP still needing improvement and work. In this instalment of Rain, "Only Way" was fantastic, but the others leave much to be desired. These tracks are somewhat inspiring and hopeful and can be cried out and sung to Jesus during times of joy and hardship; but now I have confirmation that Planetshakers are still not as impacting or rousing or influential as artists like Passion, Jesus Culture, and Hillsong. Would I listen to this EP again? No, not in a long time. But maybe you're one of the listeners who actually love the EP- and that's cool more power to you. Whatever the case though, here's hoping and praying that Planetshakers have many more new albums to come that will revolutionise the worship industry in the future! That's a good prayer to pray, don't you reckon?

Rage Becomes Her
The Power of Women's Anger
Written by: Soraya Chemaly
Narrated by: Soraya Chemaly
Women are angry, and it isn't hard to figure out why. We are underpaid and overworked. Too sensitive or not sensitive enough. Too dowdy or too made-up. Too big or too thin. Sluts or prudes. We are harassed, told we are asking for it, and asked if it would kill us to smile. Yes, yes it would. Contrary to the rhetoric of popular "self-help" and an entire lifetime of being told otherwise, our rage is one of the most important resources we have, our sharpest tool against both personal and political oppression.

Narrated by: Sam Harris
As it was in Anna Karenina, Madame Bovary, and Othello, so it is in life. Most forms of private vice and public evil are kindled and sustained by lies. Acts of adultery and other personal betrayals, financial fraud, government corruption - even murder and genocide - generally require an additional moral defect: a willingness to lie. In Lying, bestselling author and neuroscientist Sam Harris argues that we can radically simplify our lives and improve society by merely telling the truth in situations where others often lie.

Perfectionism is a naturally limiting mindset. For example, kids are taught to color inside the lines, and any color outside the lines is considered a mistake that must be corrected.

Autobiography of a Yogi
Written by: Paramahansa Yogananda
Narrated by: Ben Kingsley
When Autobiography of a Yogi first appeared in 1946, it was acclaimed as a landmark work in its field. The New York Times hailed it as "a rare account". Newsweek pronounced it "fascinating". The San Francisco Chronicle declared, "Yogananda presents a convincing case for yoga, and those who 'came to scoff' may remain 'to pray." Today it is still one of the most widely read and respected books ever published on the wisdom of the East.
A Must Read for Everyone
By K. Jolly on 2019-09-17
We Are Enough: Engaging with the World from a Place of Worthiness
What does it take to be secure in our sense of belonging and self-worth? We may hustle to attain this security through achievements, meeting expectations, or repeating affirmations to ourselves - but Dr. Brené Brown's research has shown there is ultimately one obstacle to our sense of worthiness. "Shame is the barrier," she teaches, "and building shame resilience is how we overcome it." With Men, Women, and Worthiness, Dr. Brown draws upon more than 12 years of investigation to reveal how we can disarm the influence of shame to cultivate a life of greater courage, joy, and love. In this rich and heartfelt examination of this pivotal element of happiness, she invites you to explore:
The differences and similarities between the experience of shame for men and women.
Guilt vs. shame - why one is a useful force for growth, while the other keeps us small.
The four elements of shame resilience - identifying our triggers, practicing critical awareness, sharing our story, and speaking honestly about shame.
Empathy as the primary antidote to shame.
"Whether you are a man, woman, or child, every one of us has the irreducible need for love and belonging," Dr. Brown teaches. "A sense of self-worth, unhindered by the inner voices of shame, allows us to meet that need." With the warmth, candor, and humor that has made her a celebrated speaker, Brené Brown offers a road map for navigating the emotions that hold us back-so we can cultivate a life of authenticity and connection.

Audible.ca reviews
Listened to it 3 times back to back. Loved it. Gave me needed language. Would highly recommend it.
Angela Bodaly
This was so helpful for my personal growth
I share it with everyone. Brene is funny and uses relevant experiences from her life to educate. Her stories are vulnerability embodied.
A must
Every person would benefit from taking time out of their life to listen to this. No matter where you are mentally, physically, emotionally, you will take something away from this. Whether or not you are ready to hear what she has to say is another question. However, what she speaks about is very real and working on this will make you a better person and improve your relationships.
Ana Torres
Wow! life-changing insight & easy to digest lingo!
Wow! life-changing insight and easy-to-digest lingo! Thank you for your research and motivation to help others get this information.

Excellent as Usual
Excellent. I love Brene Brown. Her work is insightful. She talks TO you from a place of courage and experience rather than AT you from a place of learning and correction.
Encourages compassion for self and others
Amazing, just amazing. This book helps shed light on shame for both sexes so well. If you want to understand yourself and others, partners or otherwise this will help immensely. I listened to it all in one go and am already excited to listen again.
I loved this book. Thank you Brene for stepping into the arena and being courageous to help us on our life journeys ♥
really good book
its one of those books that points out the things you might know hut need a reminder or things that you may know in your unconscious but haven't really said it out loud. ill listen to it again later.
great audio, as always!
Brene Brown always provides the insight and right words to experiences so we can share.
Life-changing Insights
This is an incredible and truly life-changing book, I reccomend it to absolutely everyone. If you are human, these are words you need to hear.
Richard K Patton
good stuff, but...
good stuff but too similar to her sessions, The Power of Vulnerability. If you are going to get something by Brené go for the six hour book, much more in depth and live content is much better
barefoot rabbit
Nothing new here.
Brene Brown is great, but sadly, this really has no real new content beyond what you will get in The Power of Vulnerability. If it wasn't so expensive I would be fine with it as it's always a pleasure to listen to her, but this is really not worth the price. It seems like SoundsTrue is just trying to make more money by offering new shorts by Brene that are just more of the same, unfortunately. Just get the latter audio book which is more than 6 hours of teaching, and you'll get all you need on this topic.
Incredibly helpful book
Shame can have devastating energy and effect, and for me it seems to occur around those people that I love the most. I don't want to hurt or worry them when I am going through these feelings. Brene has helped me understand the ugliest side of shame and has giving me the tools to work through those feelings rather then being ruled by them. After reading this book I was able to give my daughters some examples of my behavior that they had a keen memory of and explained that this book would help them understand why I felt and acted the way I did. I went on to explain to them that if they took the time to read this book they would be exposed to an extremely helpful concept that would help them the rest of their lives. This would help them to not only understand themselves better, but to understand those people around them better.
Which character – as performed by Brené Brown – was your favorite?
It is so helpful that Brene is so honest and open about her own experiences. I felt like I was in the room with her and felt such empathy for her story. It allowed me to feel empathy for my own memories in which I still feel shame.
What's an idea from the book that you will remember?
The concept of turning shame into anger and lashing out helped me to understand my own behaviors and those of people close to me. I was able to forgive and understand some comments that had been said to me from my mother. I now understand that these hurtful comments were about her own feelings of shame.
It was also so helpful to hear about men's shame. This gave me very useful insight into what drives us in our relationships. It gave me the ability to have much more empathy for men, but for all people really.
A really humbling experience
One of the best things I've read. Deeply impacted by this book. I learned so much about the experience of shame and am so grateful for her take on male shame.
Great Book!!
If you could sum up Men, Women and Worthiness in three words, what would they be?
Was very glad that this book was recommended to me! And wished I hadn't waited to listen to it. But I'm glad that i finnaly did. Brene Brown uses some of her own storys from her life to help relate the information that she is explaining. I listen to the book and there is a lot of info in there that I listen to it again back to back. And I'm listing to her other books and love all that I have listened to. For me you can't go wrong listing to her books. We all deal with shame and she to me has been the only one to address this. Thanks to Brene Brown for looking into men and how we deal with shame! I love the info that I got from her book.Please keep them coming!
Who was your favorite character and why?
What insight do you think you'll apply from Men, Women and Worthiness?
To understand shame and how it plays out in my live as a man.
Moonglotexas
Mind-shifter
Absolutely! It elegantly and humorously conveys the importance of accepting imperfections within ourselves. More than that, it highlights how differently men and wonen experience the world.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Men, Women and Worthiness?
Brene's stories make the theory so very much lighter and easier to remember, she keeps you giggling!
This question doesn't really apply to this sort of book, but Brene being Brene is awesome!
Bret L Berry
I'm ashamed of my appreciation for this book
Where does Men, Women and Worthiness rank among all the audiobooks you've listened to so far?
It ranks among in the top 5 of 18 of the audiobooks to which I've listened. I haven't listened to that many, but I have chosen audiobooks very well. This book is excellent.
What did you like best about this story?
That someone else documented the shit with which I live.
What about Brené Brown's performance did you like?
She was quite a performer. If she hadn't been a white, texan woman with incredible edu cred, I'd have connected a bit better. I'm a white, mid-west, truck driver, with no edu cred, so I automatically hate her and all that she represents. Anyhoo, I liked hearing her. She obviously knows her s*** and her s*** is so my s***.
What did you learn from Men, Women and Worthiness that you would use in your daily life?
I learned some coping stuff, you know.
I kid a bit in my responses, but this book was excellent, unless you have not experienced shame......or life, a******.
Outstanding audio experience
Brené Brown's intelligence, compassion, insight, creativity, and humour paves a safe path through the swampland of shame and invites us to walk along with her. Listen if you are sick of feeling like you're not enough and if you want to claim your worthiness.
I never right reviews but this is an insightful book every needs to read yesterday.
S. Peterson
Relatable and Applicable to life.
Easy to listen to and fully related to what was said. Will apply strategies .


One only needs to study a bit on Judaism, to easily see the Jewish obsession with their "Messiah," especially with the orthodox.
Throughout the centuries, numerous rabbis and kabbalists have done spiritual workings (often to their detriment) to hasten the coming of their Messiah.
The Jews are obsessive/compulsive by nature and the observing ones are especially obsessive/compulsive regarding their Messiah.
Giving their userous nature, it's glaringly obvious what "Jesus Christ" is all about. The mass mind. By creating the fictitious character of Jesus Christ and the "second coming," the Jews who have hijacked and hoarded knowledge regarding the powers of the mind and soul, especially channeled belief and faith, [the mass mind is driven by the strength in the numbers of believers], these energies are directed into bringing about their long awaited Messiah. The billions of Gentile believers throughout the ages have amplified energies directed towards the coming of the Jewish Messiah by believing in Jesus Christ. There is plenty of strength in mass belief. The Jews, especially the orthodox know this.
All of our Pagan holidays and festivals have been hijacked with the Nazarene invading and embedded in them, for additional slavish worship and applying more and more psychic energies to the Jews and their Messiah. This goes beyond how the Jews indirectly enforce compulsory church attendance. (The Vatican has ALWAYS been Jewish and under Jewish control). The Jews have always assumed positions of authority where they dictate to and order Gentiles about.
The Noahide laws for Gentiles explicitly forbid "idolatry" meaning we are forbidden to acknowledge our own Pagan Gods. The Jews use Gentiles to fight their wars. Hitler even noted in Mein Kampf how all the Gentiles were fighting in combat on the fronts, while the Jews in the military all had office jobs that kept them safe. The populace really needs to wake up as to what that worthless parasite Nazarene is really all about.

These 5 Things Will Make You Smarter
By Eric Barker
Barker is the author of Barking Up The Wrong Tree
1) Get rid of the distractions
You can't multitask.
Via Brain Rules: 12 Principles for Surviving and Thriving at Work, Home, and School:
To put it bluntly, research shows that we can't multitask. We are biologically incapable of processing attention-rich inputs simultaneously.
All those buzzing text messages and email chimes can reduce mental ability by an average of 10 IQ points. For men, it's about three times the effect of smoking marijuana.
Via Your Brain at Work: Strategies for Overcoming Distraction, Regaining Focus, and Working Smarter All Day Long:
A study done at the University of London found that constant emailing and text-messaging reduces mental capability by an average of ten points on an IQ test. It was five points for women, and fifteen points for men. This effect is similar to missing a night's sleep. For men, it's around three times more than the effect of smoking cannabis. While this fact might make an interesting dinner party topic, it's really not that amusing that one of the most common "productivity tools" can make one as dumb as a stoner… when people do two cognitive tasks at once, their cognitive capacity can drop from that of a Harvard MBA to that of an eight-year-old.
2) Get your sleep
If you've missed sleep, you've reduced your intelligence.
Why Some People Love Black Friday—and Others Hate It, According to Psychologists
Why Are You So Afraid of Clowns? Here's What Psychologists Say
Take an A student used to scoring in the top 10 percent of virtually anything she does. One study showed that if she gets just under seven hours of sleep on weekdays, and about 40 minutes more on weekends, she will begin to score in the bottom 9 percent of non-sleep-deprived individuals.
Think you're just fine cheating yourself on sleep? Of course you do. But you're wrong.
…after just a few days, the four and six-hour group reported that, yes, they were slightly sleepy. But they insisted they had adjusted to their new state. Even 14 days into the study, they said sleepiness was not affecting them. In fact, their performance had tanked. In other words, the sleep-deprived among us are lousy judges of our own sleep needs. We are not nearly as sharp as we think we are.
What if you can't get a good night's sleep but need to learn new info? Even naps can help:
Via Dreamland: Adventures in the Strange Science of Sleep:
If you can't get in a full night's sleep, you can still improve the ability of your brain to synthesize new information by taking a nap. In a study funded by NASA, David Dinges, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania, and a team of researchers found that letting astronauts sleep for as little as fifteen minutes markedly improved their cognitive performance, even when the nap didn't lead to an increase in alertness or the ability to pay more attention to a boring task. Researchers at the City University of New York, meanwhile, found that naps helped the brain better assess and make connections between objects.
3) Performance enhancing drugs for your brain
No, they're not anabolic steroids. It's caffeine, sugar and nicotine. Coffee and nicotine make you smarter.

Via Brain Candy: Science, Paradoxes, Puzzles, Logic, and Illogic to Nourish Your Neurons:
Studies show that caffeine increases the speed at which we process sensory information. And with luscious caffeine jouncing happily through our system, we make faster decisions based on these stimuli. In other words, we see faster and we act faster.
Cigarettes make us smarter too. Or at least their nicotine component does: It's been shown to boost short-term working memory and executive function. Nicotine patches have also been shown to combat some of the effects of Alzheimer's disease.
Don't like coffee? Studies show Red Bull can do the trick. A donut can help too. Or do a bit of exercise and have a sugary drink.
Via Mind Performance Hacks: Tips & Tools for Overclocking Your Brain by the excellent Vaughan Bell:
Increasing glucose and oxygen supplies to the brain seems to allow information to be more accurately and fully committed to memory – in other words, you learn better… light exercise or even deliberately increasing breathing rate by a small amount will increase blood oxygen levels… A well-timed sugary drink, thirty minutes to an hour before you have to remember or take notice of something particularly well should improve how well you remember it.
4) Keep Learning
You always hear that doing puzzles can help stave off dementia. In reality, those aren't nearly enough to keep your brain sharp. But the principle holds.
Want to keep your mind powerful? Do something that really forces you to stretch yourself:
Numerous studies have shown learning another language is good for your brain.
There's a lot of evidence that learning to play music can make you smarter. (Listening to classical music might increase your IQ as well.)
Or learn a new skill.
5) Believe in yourself
Want to be smarter? The first step is to believe that you can become smarter:
Those students who learned about IQ's malleability improved their grades more than did students who did not receive this message, and also saw academics as more important than did students in the control group.
Surround yourself with people who believe in you and you'll perform better:
Via The Heart of Social Psychology: A Backstage View of a Passionate Science:
…Rosenthal and Lenore Jacobson (1968) did the same study in a classroom, telling elementary school teachers that they had certain students in their class who were "academic spurters." In fact, these students were selected at random. Absolutely nothing else was done by the researchers to single out these children. Yet by the end of the school year, 30 percent of the the children arbitrarily named as spurters had gained an average of 22 IQ points, and almost all had gained at least 10 IQ points.
