Q: Self aware Eloquent Model implements Strategy Pattern I'd like to be able to have a (Eloquent) Model implement a class based upon a property of the model once it is created. I think this is the Strategy Pattern, but since I'm doing it from inside a Model and not passing the dependency, it's not the perfect fit. I'm trying to avoid using switch or if-else blocks to create the CompanyXXX APIs, because there are currently 4 CompanyXXX, and it's already unwieldy and we could have up to 20 in a few years.
Example:
interface API
{
    public function getThings();
}

class CompanyOne implements API
{
    public function getThings()
    {
        // Company One API specific stuff to get Things
    }
}

class Property extends Model
{
    // This is an Eloquent Model, this valid is populated from the DB
    public $company; // 'CompanyOne'

    // This is the class implementing the API to use based upon $company
    private $api;

    public function __construct()
    {
        parent::__construct();

        $this->api = new $this->company;
        // Thus, this is an object CompanyOne
    }

    public function getThings()
    {
        $this->api->getThings();
        // CompanyXXX API specific stuff to getThings
    }
}

Thus, I would be able to do things like this in a Controller so it knows which API to use (based on $api) and just does it™. I don't need to know or care what API this Property is using, I just need to getThings.
$property = Property::find(1); // get from DB, has 'api' parameter set

$things = $property->getThings();

Which is wildly more simple compared to current methods that use switch and are now difficult to maintain (we now have 46 switch statements in the code base):
$property = Property::find(1);

switch ($property->api) {
    case 'CompanyOne':
        $api = new CompanyOne;
    case 'CompanyTwo':
        $api = new CompanyTwo;
    // repeat
}

$things = $api->getThings();

So what's the question?

*

*Is this the Strategy Pattern (modified)? Is this another pattern?

*Is there a better way (especially in Laravel) to have multiple API classes (as in my example) that are determined from a model's parameter that is 'self-aware' to implement the correct class/system to reduce the use of switch and if-else statements?

A: It's not the strategy pattern - whether it's a modified strategy pattern depends on how far you want to stretch. I'm not sure this approach has a name, because you can't really do this (exactly) in most other languages. The $company field would have to be some kind of factory method in C#/Java/C++.
I haven't done any PHP programming in a long time, so I'm not the best person to ask for best practices. Right now I can't really see why you shouldn't use this capability of PHP, if it really helps you.
However, I also can't really see why you would wrap the API creation like this in the first place. It seems Property::find($x) could just return an instance of API directly.
If you need the Property class to provide additional functionality, you could inject the API object directly, rather than having Property create it.

Unlike Tekashi 6ix9ine, COVID-19 Won't Spring YNW Melly Out Of Prison
Posted by Zackary Jennings
Broward County, FL – Double homicide suspect YNW Melly (real name Jamell Demons) allegedly tested positive for the coronavirus earlier this month and was desperate to get out of jail. But despite his pleas, he won't be leaving the Broward County jail anytime soon.
According to TMZ, a judge shot down his legal team's request on Tuesday (April 14). Melly's lawyer Bradford Cohen filed legal documents requesting his release after he says his client started exhibiting COVID-19 symptoms such as labored breathing, chills, headaches and body aches.
Cohen argued "inadequate care and protection provided by the jail" put Melly at risk of dying from the virus. Melly fought for house arrest and at-home medical care, but the judge said if he requires special medical treatment while in jail, he can request it from the Broward Sheriff's Office.
YNW Melly Reportedly Facing Death Penalty In Double Murder Case
Melly stands accused of killing Anthony "YNW Sakchaser" Williams and Christopher "YNW Juvy" Thomas Jr. in 2018. He's been in jail since last year awaiting trial. The families of his alleged victims adamantly opposed Melly's release, explaining he didn't deserve any mercy.
If convicted, Melly faces the death penalty.
Tekashi 6ix9ine, who was nearing the end of his 24-month sentence at Queens Detention Facility, received the opposite treatment. The presiding judge, Paul A. Engelmayer, sympathized with his asthmatic condition and allowed the polarizing rapper to finish the remaining four months of his sentence at home.

India To Implement Solar Zones
Policy For Special Areas To Deploy and Manufacture Solar PV Gets Nod From The President
Solar Zones Policy introduced by the Indian government will have 10 solar zones across the nation
Solar Zones different from Solar Parks as the government will only facilitate the land acquisition but will not acquire it on its own
The policy will be eligible for central financial assistance (CFA) of 440 million INR ($6.54 million).
Solar manufacturing units can also come up in the solar zones with 25% of the area reserved for deployment by manufacturers of Made In India ingots, wafers, cells and modules
States will have to designate a nodal agency with SECI overseeing the project implementation
India has announced the implementation of a Scheme for Development of Solar Zones, which will be in effect starting from current fiscal year to 2020-21. Under the scheme, 10 solar zones will come up with each having 10,000 hectares of government or privately owned wasteland, uncultivable or fallow land in one or more than one patches. However, the administration has not shared in which states these zones will be set up.
In a big push to its solar manufacturing industry, the new policy will allocate 25% of the area for deployment by domestic manufacturers of ingots, wafers, solar cells and modules. Another 25% area will be for small and medium enterprises, farmers and unemployed youth; the remaining 50% will be reserved for solar project developers.
Solar Zones different from Solar Parks
The policy will differ from that of Solar Parks, as in the case of latter the government acquires land for projects to be developed. Under the Solar Zones policy, the government will facilitate the acquisition of land for the purpose, but it will not directly acquire the land itself. At the same time, transmission lines are laid by the government in a solar park, but in solar zones developers will only be given several interconnection points and they will have to connect the same at their own level. Solar manufacturing units can also be built in the zones.
At the end of May 2016, there were reports of the Indian government planning a new policy on solar zones, with a view to helping project developers and solar equipment manufacturers (see Solar Zones Policy). With the Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) being involved, this policy will have states playing a proactive role by designating an agency specifically for the purpose. SECI will work under the aegis of the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) to implement
the scheme.
The government wants to set up the Solar Zones Policy as a flagship demonstration facility. It is supposed to help states with investments from solar power project developers, support them in achieving their Solar Renewable Purchase Obligation (RPO) as well as create jobs in the solar sector within the selected states. SECI will evaluate the techno-economic feasibility report carried out by the states and then give its recommendations to the Ministry.
SECI will distribute parts of the CFA for the feasibility survey, preparation of the detailed project report and setting up of a nodal office, Solar Radiation Resource Assessment (SRRA) in every single zone.

God is always doing a new thing. In God's economy it is a matter of done and doing. God has done the work to accomplish everything we need and He is doing the work of a new thing in our lives if we are willing to believe it.
Isaiah's son goes by the name "Shear-Jashub," his name means, "a remnant will return." His son is given a name that foreshadows the new thing God will do for Israel after they are forced into captivity by the Babylon for 70 years.
I am not sure what life is throwing your way at this present moment. It may feel oppressive and overwhelming, it may seem unfair or confusing, but know this, as you hold fast to your Lord, you stand in victory over your enemies. Remember, it is the remnant who will return to the land of the living. It is those who remain faithful to their allegiance to the Lord Jesus Christ who will be brought back into the Land of God's provision and care.
Those who live outside the place of God's blessing are those who have placed their eyes upon their circumstances and not upon their victory. There are those individuals who do not believe God can do a new thing, so they remain in captivity. Their lives lack peace, contentment and joy, because of their unbelief.
Lord, I believe you are doing a new thing. I understand completely and fully that you are Sovereign over all things. If my sin has caused my captivity, Lord, forgive me. Father, I trust you. Although I cannot see the future, I know that as I remain faithful to you, I will sit in the place of blessing. I will experience the joy of Christ and bask in your glorious presence. Jesus, fill my heart with your joy and love today. Thank you that you are the God of done and doing. I praise you that you have accomplished everything I need in your son and that you are always doing a new thing, restoring what the locusts have eaten and taking what the enemy meant for evil and using it for good, in Jesus name, amen.
Could it be that sometimes we do not get burned by simply being outside of God's will, but instead, by attempting to leave it? God is our hedge of protection, our resting place. He covers us in the shadow of His wings and we can dwell in safety in His presence. He goes behind and before us. His burning love for us is undeniable. He longs for us to be at rest with Him; sitting with Him in places of victory, standing firm with Him in safety, contentment and security.
We cannot always see the hedge, but when we start to leave it, we feel the intensity of its heat. It is easy in that moment to try and believe God is oppressive or that He is keeping us from something better. However, God's hedge is set up for our protection. It is the things we cannot see that He fights to protect us from. It is His wall of fire that keeps us from devastation, destruction and the like. Inside the shelter of the most high we find just what we need. We lack no good thing in the presence of His grace.
There is a reason why God sets up certain hedges in our lives. He's keeping us from the things that seek to destroy us.
In ancient Israel a hedge was set up around a field to keep out wild animals who could destroy the fruit of that land. If a hedge was destroyed or taken down it meant that the fruit of the land was now at risk for enemy attack.
Inside the hedge of God's protection is the place of God's abundance. It's where we eat of His fruit. It's where we experience His love in it's fullest measure. However, sometimes, when God gives us an orange, we grumble for a pear. We don't like what He has provided, because it doesn't match up with our expectations. Accepting the provision of God takes full surrender, trust and a willingness to believe God knows what is best for us.
Lord, today, I trust you. I believe in your provision. I long to rest in the fruit of your land. I do not want to leave the hedge of your protection. Lord, forgive me when I stray. Make me more like you, Jesus. Be my provision. In Jesus name, amen.
Our country is more divided that it has, quite possibly, ever been. We work against one another putting ourselves in different camps: Christians and Muslims, Republicans and Democrats, pro-life vs. pro-choice, no guns or more guns. You get the idea.
One of the consequences of Israel's rebellion against God was that because of their stubborn hearts they started to oppress one another. Truth be told, the further we remove ourselves from God, who is love, the further we will drift away from unity and grow in hatred for one another.
I have heard so many different times about people losing Facebook friends over a post on some social issue or a disagreement during election time. Attitudes like this only polarize us as a country even more. The banner of our country is not love and unity it is hatred and polarization.
Unless we turn to love, we will destroy ourselves from within.
Now, I believe that the only type of true love that brings people together in solidarity is found in Christ. However, if you believe differently from me on this issue, I can respect that. We can certainly still be friends, but in my opinion, we will never become truly united without understanding and extending God's unconditional love to our fellow man. It's far too easy to default to hatred.
What really burns me is when I see Christians pointing the finger, creating different camps and ostracizing people, because they are not like us. We feel as though its our duty to tell them how badly they're sinning. The world screams hypocrite, because quite frankly, on many levels, we are acting as one.
I don't see many Christians on social media being honest about their own personal struggles with sin, but I do see many Christians feeling as though its their duty to call out sin in others in the public arena. I think if Christians really want to show the unconditional love of Christ that binds people together in solidarity they have to allow love to be their banner. Please, don't negate the truth, love without truth is not love. There must be a balance of the two.
I wonder what would happen if instead of feeling as though it's our duty to blast sin in others from our social media platforms, we took the time to invite those different from us into our homes. What if, we just simply made a choice to love them, for where they were at, in that moment. Of course, use wise judgement in this and don't put your family at risk for their safety, but the majority of the time this would not be an issue anyways.
We often have such a tremendous fear of people who are different from us. We don't need to fear them. We need to try and understand them. When someone feels understood by us, we have won the right to speak into their life. Without first understanding someone and hearing their story, it is highly unlikely they will hear what we have to say about the truth of the gospel. Especially if they are a group that has been ostracized by many Christians.
Love is what we all long for in our lives. Love is what brings healing, hope and restoration. Love fosters unity. Love brings people together.
The religious leaders in Jesus' day were men who were a lot like us. Their lives were not characterized by love and so they were quick to condemn. They were almost always angry. They even made it their personal vendetta to make sure the son of God, a man whose life and ministry was all about love, was murdered. They did not balance truth and love, but lived according to the letter of the law. They were all truth and no love.
As Christians we cannot only be all about love though either. The reality of sinful man is just that, they're sinful. Therefore, they're in need of forgiveness of sin. They're in need of a cleansing from the inside out from the darkness of their own hearts. That is the truth we as Christians must walk in. Man is sinful, Jesus lived a perfect life without sin and the only way for sinful man to be restored back into right fellowship with God and experience eternal life in the glories of Heaven for all eternity is to repent and place their faith in the resurrected Lord, Jesus Christ.
How we present this message to the world either polarizes us further from people or brings us together. The balance of love and truth make all the difference. A right understanding of the two will keep us from creating camps, living in self-righteousness and ostracizing people. Our love, through Christ, and God's truth found in His word can draw people together through the life-changing transformative work of Jesus Christ.
Lord, forgive us. Forgive us when we allow self-righteousness to enter our hearts that causes us to polarize ourselves from other people. Lord, I think much of the world doesn't want much to do with Christ, because His followers are not first broken over their own sin. We're too busy pointing the finger. Help us to deal with the plank in our own eye first. Help us to balance love and truth. May we never allow our lives to be led by only love or only truth, but gives us wisdom in knowing how to live in light of love and truth. Lord, help me to extend love to those who are different than me. Jesus did that. He ate with them. He invited them to dine with Him at His table and extended His love to them. Lord, I want to live the same way. Father, help us. As a nation, we Christians, who claim your name, repent for our hatred. We repent for our self-righteousness. We repent for how we have not lived like Jesus. Give us grace. Lord, pour it into our hearts, so we can extend it to others, in Jesus name, amen.
The paths we set out on either get to us to our destination or get us lost. Whenever we walk, we're headed a purposeful direction. We may not think it's purposeful at the time or we may not be willing to admit it, either way, we are allowing ourselves to be led by two different driving forces; the places our hearts tell us to go, or the wisdom of God.
We must remember that our steps, accumulated, one after another will either put us in places of victory, deliverance and blessing or we'll find ourselves in places of destruction, confusion and uncertainty. If our steps our leading us towards destruction, like me in the bathroom stall, when someone comes looking for us, it's far too easy to go into hiding out of embarrassment, shame or willful rebellion. If our path is too enjoyable to leave, then, we have to wonder if we really know Christ at all.
If our path is too scary to leave, because we've found great comfort in it, then, we have to allow truth to penetrate our deception. This means allowing for others to come alongside of us and help show us the way.
Lord, forgive me when I traverse a path you have not called me to. I am so quick to try and force my own understanding into my life sometimes. I can quickly hide in shame or guilt. Yet, you've given me a family in the body of Christ to help guide my way towards freedom. Lord, help me not neglect the beauty of this family you've given me. I want to be transparent. I want to walk so closely with you that when others see me, all they see is a woman who knows of her Saviors love. God, order my steps, I want to walk in them, in Jesus name, amen.
There is a place of rest with God that is a place full of His bounty, peace, and provision. Few people actually experience such a place, because more often than not their thoughts drift away from the promised land of God's victory and bring them into places where the enemy seeks to destroy the harvest God has placed before them to feast upon.
As we go into Thanksgiving, a day full of food and feasting and we celebrate with others what we are thankful for, remember that much of your life is determined not by who God is, that never changes, but instead, by who YOU believe God to be. That's right, your belief about God is either founded in truth or embedded with deep, idolatrous lies.
Our lips might say we are thankful, but our hearts may very well be allowing the enemy to destroy the harvest God wants to plant in our hearts that is full of His love, joy, and victory. We cannot experience the fullness of God's blessing if we are allowing the enemy to trample all over our minds.
If we are allowing him to devour the bounty of God's provision we'll soon find that the harvest is not plentiful for us and we'll start to believe the lie that says- God is not sufficient, when all the while He has provided for our every need. The problem is not with Him, but with us.
Many of us have allowed destructive thoughts to seep their way into the places of God's bounty. We are not experiencing the fullness of the grace of God or the joy of knowing Him, because we are full of unbelief, pride, bitterness, anger, and selfishnesses.
Lord, if I have allowed any destructive thoughts to seep their way into my mind, please show me. I long to be like you. I want to see the goodness of your provision, the bounty of your blessing in my life. Lord, the bounty is there, help me to see it, even in the midst of strife. You are always enough. When my thoughts about you become idolatrous in nature because I believe you to be lacking, please show me so I might repent. Father, today, I am thankful for your grace, forgiveness and unending love for me. I am thankful that you take a child of yours and continue to walk with them, even when they fall short. Thank you for not giving up on me. Thank you for your sufficiency. All I need is you, in Jesus name, Amen.
Many of us live in the past. We allow our most life-altering moments to go with us into our present and then, in turn, into our future. We have a hard time seeing how anything good could come from the wrong that has been done to us. We cannot see light at the end of the tunnel or hope for the darkness that has befallen us, so we bury hurt, pain and disappointment. This attitude only stores up a root of deep bitterness in our hearts and makes us people who are less trusting, transparent and vulnerable.
There's something about life that can harden the soul if we allow it. The only way to soften a soul hardened by pain and disappointment is to start hoping in the promises of God found in His word.
God always shows up when it seems as though life couldn't get any worse. If we are willing to believe that He is "doing a new thing," we'll be able to live with hope. Hope softens a heart once hardened by anger, pain and disappointment. Hope whispers into our torn and tattered souls; don't fear, I'm with you, and through this pain, I am doing a new thing.
Lord, we do not give up or give into despair today, because we know through you there is always hope. We know that in the darkest moments of life you are always working and doing a new thing. Please, do not allow us to cut ourselves off from the growth you want to do in us by not believing with hope in the promises of your word. Father, I give up everything, including the past, so you can do a new thing in my heart today. Help me Lord, to walk by faith and not by sight. Do not allow me to take a step unless it is being directed by you, in Jesus name, amen.
When I was a child and became afraid I would run to either my mommy or daddy because I knew in their arms I was safe. For these are the very same arms of the Father we can run to when our hearts feel afraid. He is a good, safe and loving Father who we can place all our hope in. He silences the voices of fear, doubt, and discouragement and places us in safety, security, and peace. The only thing we have to do is run into His arms. That's it, just run into His embrace and stop running after our own devices to fill our worried hearts. As we sit with God, He whispers His love into our hearts over and over and over again, for His great glory and for our greater good.
Fear is a real thing we wrestle with daily. We fear people, the unknown, real life circumstances and being rejected by others. We fear not having enough, not being enough and not knowing enough. Our biggest fear is sometimes found in not becoming what we'd hoped, or not becoming what we believe will make us acceptable to other people.
The problem is, our worth and affirmation cannot come from people, things or status. Living for these things only puts our hearts in a constant state of fear. We'll live our lives trying to attain some goal that is literally unattainable. We will foster relationships not for the sake of knowing others, but for the goal of being known by others to pat our egos and puff up our low self-worth. We'll run up credit card bills, seek the constant approval of people and make ourselves weary from it all.
The Christian learns to put a leash on their fears and place their trust in God. It is to say, "Lord, I am terribly afraid of not fitting in, measuring up or being good enough, but I place my trust in you." God meets us in our honest confession and He brings us into places of safety in our hearts and minds. He is the calmer of our fears, for He is a good and loving father.
Lord, you are good. Forgive me when I run around trying to solve all my fears on my own. Forgive me when I do not place my trust in you, but try to fix my own problems. Lord, I want to be silent before you, to hear only your voice and to trust only in your name. Abba, daddy, you are good and I long to trust you with each step. Guide me back to you when I stray and remind me of your love for me in Jesus name, amen.

It Came from the '50s
It Came from the '50s: It! The Terror from Beyond Space
Author capcomPosted on October 31, 2019 October 30, 2019 Categories Empty Balcony, It Came from the '50s, October Horrorshow
When is a shitty movie not a shitty movie? When it's super cheap, but also good. Such is the case with It! The Terror from Beyond Space, released in 1958.
We wrap up It Came from the '50s with the movie that was the supposed inspiration for Alien. The story is similar. A spaceship from Earth sets down on another planet and picks up a stowaway alien with a thirst for blood. How the human spacefarers rid themselves of the alien is also similar. How the two films differ is in the small details. Continue reading "It Came from the '50s: It! The Terror from Beyond Space"
It Came from the '50s: Return of the Fly
Author capcomPosted on October 30, 2019 November 1, 2019 Categories Empty Balcony, It Came from the '50s, October Horrorshow, Shitty Movie Sundays
I've seen some embarrassing cash grab sequels in my many decades as an avid shitty movie fan, and this one is among the more shameful.
From writer/director Edward Bernds comes Return of the Fly, the sequel to The Fly, released in 1959. The first thing viewers of The Fly will notice is that, unlike its predecessor, Return was not shot in color. I cannot recall another sequel in film history that has gone from color in the original to black and white photography in the sequel. There are a couple examples the other way, notably The Hustler and The Color of Money. Continue reading "It Came from the '50s: Return of the Fly"
It Came from the '50s: Plan 9 from Outer Space
Author capcomPosted on October 29, 2019 October 29, 2019 Categories Empty Balcony, It Came from the '50s, October Horrorshow, Shitty Movie Sundays
This flick has quite the reputation. Search the internet for lists of the worst movies of all time, and this film will most likely be on it, and could very well be at the top. Its writer, director, and producer, Ed Wood, is a legend among shitty film fans. Not many people get a biopic made where the focus is on their ineptitude, but it happened to Ed Wood. And he earned it. But, I have disappointing news for any Ed Wood fan that happens upon this site. Plan 9 from Outer Space is not the worst movie I have ever seen. It doesn't even crack the bottom 10.
From 1959, Plan 9 tells the story of an alien invasion of Earth. That's the broad view, and the only part of the plot that makes sense. The details of the story are a nonsensical jumble of graveyard scenes and whatever footage Ed Wood managed to shoot of Bela Lugosi before the latter's death in 1956. Continue reading "It Came from the '50s: Plan 9 from Outer Space"
It Came from the '50s: The Manster
With a name like The Manster, it has to be shit, right?
From 1959 (but kept on a shelf until 1962), The Manster is a shitty American monster flick that looks like a joint American/Japanese production. But, it's not. The Manster is a 100% American production that just happened to be shot in Japan, with many Japanese actors and crew. I made a point while watching this flick to go into the tubes and find out if there was a Japanese-language version of this flick shot side-by-side with the American release, à la Dracula, but there was not. That feels like something of a missed opportunity, as Japanese shitty movie fans would enjoy this piece of trash, I'm sure. Continue reading "It Came from the '50s: The Manster"
It Came from the '50s: The Tingler
Gimmicks present unique problems when it comes to film, or art, or anything. Gimmicks may be useful for an initial draw, but people tire of them. Gimmicks are also used to disguise, or make up for, a lack of funds or competence. That is why William Castle, despite throwing some interesting gimmicks into his films, is remembered for being a shitty movie director as much as an innovator.
The Tingler, from 1959, was Castle's most ambitious foray into gimmickry. Besides producing, Castle directed, from a screenplay by Robb White. Continue reading "It Came from the '50s: The Tingler"
It Came from the '50s: Monster from Green Hell, or, Deus Ex Mons Igneus
Beware a promising title, especially when it comes to shitty movies. There's a good chance that a shitty movie won't live up to its title, and could even be a bait-and-switch. Monster from Green Hell, from 1957, isn't that most egregious of shitty filmmaking sins, but it is not nearly as good as the title.
The Green Hell of the title is a stretch of African jungle surrounding a volcano. The Monster which emerges from the Green Hell is a gigantic wasp, mutated by space radiation. It all began back in the states, in an isolated rocket science lab in the west. Dr. Quent Brady (Jim Davis, of Dallas fame), and Dan Morgan (Robert Griffin) are conducting experiments to determine the effects that exposure to space will have on future human space travelers. They do this by sending just about every animal they can find into space aboard rockets, then studying the animals after the rocket returns to Earth. There is a concern that all that radiation shooting around up in space will mutate those who are exposed to it. Continue reading "It Came from the '50s: Monster from Green Hell, or, Deus Ex Mons Igneus"
It Came from the '50s: The Fly (1958)
Most of the films featured in the October Horrorshow: It Came from the '50s reviews haven't been all that good. Some have been downright cheap and awful. Such is the life of the shitty movie fan. But then there is something like today's film, The Fly. I wouldn't characterize it as a classic, other than in the sense that it's old. Rather, it's just a decent film from the time.
Released in the summer of 1958, The Fly was produced and directed by Kurt Neumann from a screenplay by James Clavell, who would go on to write some of the lengthiest novels known to man. There's a plodding nature to this film that I think can be blamed partly on Clavell. Continue reading "It Came from the '50s: The Fly (1958)"
It Came from the '50s: Fiend Without a Face
Once upon a time, I would have been impressed by seeing the Janus Films and Criterion Collection logos before the start of a film. But that has been dashed by the reaction I had to The Blob. Could Fiend Without a Face be another classic film with an inflated reputation? In short, yes. But, this film doesn't have near the same disparity between reputation and actual quality as does The Blob. It's just a b-movie, through and through. Continue reading "It Came from the '50s: Fiend Without a Face"
It Came from the '50s: Attack of the Puppet People
I am shocked by this movie. Shocked, I tell you. Bewildered. Astonished. Flabbergasted. Not because Attack of the Puppet People is a great film. Oh, no. My surprise comes from the fact that despite this being a film from Samuel Z. Arkoff's gristmill, American International Pictures, and despite it being produced and directed by shitty movie auteur Bert I. Gordon, this film does not suck. It's low-rent, to be sure, and there are more than a few amateurish moments scattered throughout, but this flick is at least as good as contemporary television sci-fi. Continue reading "It Came from the '50s: Attack of the Puppet People"
It Came from the '50s: The Screaming Skull
What a boring, plodding, nonfrightening, trope-filled mess we have with The Screaming Skull, from 1958. There was a promising film in here, somewhere. After all, an uncountable mass of pulp fiction and comic books (especially EC Comics in their heyday) used the exact same plot, with the exact same ending. If they couldn't be competent, then the least director Alex Nicol and company could have done was be enjoyably shitty, but they couldn't even manage that.
At the beginning of this film, viewers are treated to an announcement from the film's producers promising a free coffin should anyone die of fright while watching the movie. It's not the worst marketing ploy of the time, and the producers could sleep easy about ever paying it out. This is amongst the least-frightening horror movies I've ever seen, and I've seen a lot. Continue reading "It Came from the '50s: The Screaming Skull"

The term yoga comes from the literal meaning of 'yolking together'. In Sanskrit, it translates to 'union' and refers to the notion of uniting our mental, physical and spiritual parts. This concept as well as the idea being 'present' is the basis of yogic philosophy. It is widely felt that we can only truly experience happiness when we are living in the moment. Through asana (postures/poses), dhyana (meditation) and pranayama (breathing techniques), yoga permits us to do just that. Connecting our minds with our body's movements and breath allows us to become more aware and mindful. In the Western world, multi-tasking has become the gold standard for our methods of operation. Though this ability may be advantageous in certain situations, it can hinder us from truly experiencing the moment in others. When is the last time you had a meal and focused on the smells, colours and flavours of every bite? Watching TV, listening to music, or chatting with a friend can inhibit our ability to be mindful and enjoy our food. This phenomenon can lead to overeating as you chew and swallow mindlessly, unaware that you may be satiated. Yoga can provide you with the tools you need to be more mindful, which can have a very powerful impact on how you experience each day and moment, both on and off your mat.
Modern day life wreaks absolute havoc on our bodies. From sitting at a desk, slumped over our computer by day, to lounging on a sofa with minimal (if any) lumbar support by night – it's all bad news for our spines. Posture is directly related to the alignment of our spines, which is home to our central nervous system. Therefore the conclusion can be drawn that a healthy spine is a healthy body. Through proper alignment and strengthening of key muscles, yoga can drastically improve your posture. This comes with an array of not only physical, but psychological benefits too. When we stand tall we are reported to have improved self-confidence, more energy, and be happier. Incorporate heart openers, backbends, and core strengthening poses into your practice and notice how this affects both your posture and your health.
Though practicing yoga isn't about obtaining any type of external benefit, when practiced with intention, one will enjoy improved strength and fat loss. Performing a sequence of asanas (postures) requires the activation multiple muscle groups, which over time will build lean muscle. Muscle is far more metabolically active than adipose or fat tissue, meaning it uses more energy. Why is that significant? It means your body will torch more calories, even at rest.
Yoga practice involves a great deal of stretching, which can in turn lead to increased flexibility. The most obvious benefit of improved flexibility is that it allows you to move deeper into a pose to get more out of the posture. For example, in a twist, a larger range of motion will have a greater detoxing effect on your internal organs. Think of your organs as as a wet t-shirt, and the twisting motion of your body as a way of wringing them out. Greater flexibility also reduces your risk for injury and improves the flow of blood to your muscles. In the event you do sustain an injury, movement will allow you to recover more quickly by moving fresh blood and oxygen to the location of the injury.
This is perhaps my favourite benefit of all. I am a firm believer that stress is the root cause of the majority of preventable illnesses. On a personal level, stress has affected my sleep, given me digestive issues, caused back pain and headaches, compromised my immune system, and at times made me a rather unpleasant person to be around. This is just the tip of the iceberg. Stress can also affect fertility, blood pressure, body weight, and breakouts among a plethora of other things. Returning to our first benefit, the ability to be in the present prevents you from thinking about anything else that may be causing you anxiety. Yoga has been recognised as a very powerful tool, as movement, meditation and breathing have all been proven to reduce stress levels and improve your mood. The great thing about yoga is that everyone can practice it and realise these benefits. Poses can be tailored to suit each individual based on experience, injury, pain, body shape, age and flexibility.


Foreign Policy advisor to Obama, Samatha Power, resigned after calling Hillary Clinton a "monster" in an interview where Power appeared to think she was off the record because the tape recorder was off.
Power, who authored a recent work on the Rwandan genocide and the failures of the US response under Bill Clinton's presidency, is a brilliant analyst with a powerful (in fact arguably she'd have a very, very "left wing") vision of how the US should change our role in the world.
Is Obama taking "too high" a road in his campaign? Admirably both he and John McCain are trying hard to steer the ship of American politics in the direction of positive debate and recognizing that we are all diminished by the negative nonsense that has been a pervasive part of politics ever since...the first elections.
However negatives are what people respond to most, especially the folks who are undecided about who they'll vote for. Taking negatives off the table may have unintended consequences and we'll see how long this approach lasts. I predict we'll see a lot of negativity coming *indirectly* from supporters who have no official relationship to these campaigns.
Man the Swiftboats! Full negative speed ahead?

NC Dems hold press conference on potential end of Roe
Posted By: Editor In Chief May 4, 2022
North Carolina Democrats held a press conference Wednesday, May 4 to decry a draft opinion from the U.S. Supreme Court that would move the authority to set abortion policy to individual states. Despite the public platform, they remained silent on the secretive leak of the draft to the media.
The draft — authored by Justice Samuel Alito and dated from February — is not the final ruling, which is expecting sometime this spring or early summer. But if the draft ends up being the final ruling, it would overturn the high court's 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that mandated abortion for all 50 states.
"We hold that Roe and Casey must be overruled," Alito wrote in the draft. "It is time to heed the Constitution and return the issue of abortion to the people's elected representatives."
In a bombshell development, news of the leak dropped late Monday night. While N.C. Democrats continue to remain silent on the question of the way the draft was leaked and its implications for the integrity of the nation's highest court, they were quick to turn it into an election issue for the fall midterms.
"This past year we celebrated what will probably be the final anniversary of Roe v. Wade," said Sen. Natalie Murdock, D-Durham. "To be clear, if we do not elect pro-choice Democrats in November, North Carolina will become the next Texas, Florida, Oklahoma, Kentucky."

"In the [N.C.] Senate, Democrats are 22 strong," said Sen. Wiley Nickel, D-Wake, who is also running in the Democratic primary in the 13th Congressional District. "As long as we stand 22 strong, we can withstand vetoes by Gov. Cooper and we will continue to do that for the rest of the year."
"The founders of our country charged us with creating a more perfect union because they knew from the start the Constitution was flawed," said Gerald Givens, president of the Apex-Raleigh NAACP. "Let us all be vigilant, get out there and vote, and not just vote like your rights depend on it, but get out there and vote like your lives depend on it."
Republicans are countering that Democrats are hypocritical on the abortion issue given their policy prescriptions during the COVID-19 pandemic.
"Democrats are struggling with their talking points on [Roe v. Wade]," tweeted Sen. Joyce Krawiec, R-Forsyth. "'My body my choice' after mask mandates and attempts at vaccine mandates. 'It's a women's issue' is tough since Democrats do not have a definition of woman."
Other observers have been more willing to comment on the historic nature of the leak. Duke University law and political science professor Neil Siegal called the leak "extraordinary and egregious" and said that "no one should be eager to add our nation's highest court to the list of dysfunctional government institutions."
Siegal added that if the leaked opinion does become the majority ruling in the case, "then the outcome is not terribly surprising — it is, after all, what the 2016 election was about, whether people realized it at the time or not."
"The unprecedented leak from our nation's highest court is an atrocity," said Republican Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson in a statement. "The draft that was leaked was not a final decision by the court, and it appears that it was released by a radical leftist to influence the final decision of the court. This person must be found and prosecuted."
In his statement, Robinson added, "If this draft is truly reflective of the court, then this is indeed a major victory for the pro-life movement. This opinion says that it would give control over abortion back to the states — where it rightfully belongs. However, here in North Carolina it would be cause for work, not celebration. Currently in North Carolina abortion is legal for any reason up to 20 weeks of pregnancy. This is unacceptable. That is why I am calling on the General Assembly to act. If the Supreme Court hands the power back to the states, it will be our duty to protect the life of the unborn."
Robinson also referenced his own personal experience with abortion. "I have experienced the pain of abortion in my own life and know the pain it can cause families. That is a huge reason why I fight so hard for the life of the unborn."

Queenie Jenkins can't cut a break. Well, apart from one from her long-term boyfriend, Tom. That's definitely just a break, though. Definitely not a breakup. Stuck between a boss who doesn't seem to see her and a family who don't seem to listen (if it's not Jesus or water rates, they're not interested) and trying to fit in two worlds that don't really understand her, it's no wonder she's struggling. She was named to be queen of everything. So why is she finding it so hard to rule her own life?
What explains the spreading backlash against the global elite? In this revelatory investigation, Anand Giridharadas takes us into the inner sanctums of a new gilded age, showing how the elite follow a 'win-win' logic, fighting for equality and justice any way they can - except ways that threaten their position at the top. But why should our gravest problems be solved by consultancies, technology companies and corporate-sponsored charities instead of public institutions and elected officials? Why should we rely on scraps from the winners?
A story at once mythic and strikingly timely, Sarah Moss's Ghost Wall urges us to wonder how far we have come from the 'primitive minds' of our ancestors. Teenage Silvie is living in a remote Northumberland camp as an exercise in experimental archaeology. Her father is an abusive man, obsessed with recreating the discomfort, brutality and harshness of Iron Age life. Behind and ahead of Silvie's narrative is the story of a bog girl, a sacrifice, a woman killed by those closest to her, and as the hot summer builds to a terrifying climax, Silvie and the Bog girl are in ever more terrifying proximity.
Could not put this one down!
Great story but Yoruba Speaker please!
This is Nadia. She is fiercely independent, with an excellent sense of humour and a love of smoking alone on her balcony late at night. This is Saeed. He is sweet and shy and kind to strangers. He also has a balcony but he uses his for stargazing. This is their story: a love story, but also a story about how we live now and how we might live tomorrow.
Racism, but 'managed' through virtual reality. Black Friday, except you die in a bargain-crazed throng. Happiness, but pharmacological. Love, despite everything.
Friday Black tackles urgent instances of racism and cultural unrest and explores the many ways we fight for humanity in an unforgiving world. In the first unforgettable story of this collection, 'The Finkelstein Five', Adjei-Brenyah gives us an unstinting reckoning of the brutal prejudice of the US justice system. In 'Zimmer Land' we see a far-too-easy-to-believe imagining of racism as sport. And 'Friday Black' and 'How to Sell a Jacket as Told by Ice King' show the horrors of consumerism and the toll it takes on us all.
Fresh, exciting, vital and contemporary, Friday Black will appeal to people who love Colson Whitehead's Underground Railroad, the TV show Black Mirror, the work of Kurt Vonnegut and George Saunders, and anyone looking for stories that speak to the world we live in now.
