The 10 Best Punk Rock Movies
Alex Distefano
| Columns |
Alex Distefano | August 7, 2014 | 5:57am
Punk rock has been a part of cinema ever since the music was created in places like Los Angeles, New York and London in the mid to late '70s. Aside from the music, either live or on record, the big screen provided another medium to convey what punk truly stands for: not giving a fuck what anyone else says or thinks, having integrity, staying true to your identity, and rebelling against the status quo. Note that this list doesn't include documentaries on punk, only feature films. We now present our list of top ten punk rock movies.
10. Pump Up the Volume (1990)
This films follows the story of protagonist Mark Hunter, played by a young Christian Slater. Hunter is a high school student in Phoenix, Arizona, who starts up his own pirate FM radio station a decade before the Internet took over and underground radio stations meant a lot to younger people on the fringe of society. He leads two roles in the film: one is the shy, unspoken loner, and the other is the iconoclastic, angry, free thinking DJ known as 'Happy Harry On,' a pseudonym that the anonymous shock jock takes on. After stirring things up at the school, with a suicide heard live on air, and revealing the dirty politics on school campus involving grades and SAT scores, Hunter also pushes the boundaries with prank calls, simulated sounds of masturbation, vulgar jokes, rants about society and most importantly music.
Hunter refused to play the New Kids on the Block, Luther Vandros, or Vanilla Ice, what was popular on the radio at the time. Instead he blasted listeners' speakers with artists such as The Jesus and Mary Chain, The Beastie Boys, Soundgarden, Primal Scream, Ice-T, Rollins Band, Bad Brains and The Pixies, among many others. Hunter's character shows the influence of Rodney Bingenheimer, Lenny Bruce and Howard Stern all in one. Eventually the FCC gets involved, to stop Hunter's illegal radio show.
9. Control (2007)
This is a biopic about the life of the late Ian Curtis from the seminal, yet short lived UK band Joy Division. Married at young age to his girlfriend Debbie, Curtis becomes a reclusive, depression prone poet. In 1975, he is influenced directly by a live performance by the Sex Pistols, to join a band put together by his friends, as the lead singer.
The film is a very sentimental tale of the manic ups and tragic downs of this charismatic, enigmatic and suffering soul. Antics of Joy Division's early days are portrayed, including all the melodramatic infidelities, dysfunctional relationships and instances of health problems and substance abuse. The film is based on the book, touching from a Distance by Deborah Curtis, and is named after the Joy Division song, "She's Lost Control."
In real life as in the film, Curtis suffers from debilitating seizures, and is diagnosed with epilepsy, which leads to his eventual drug abuse and suicide by hanging himself in his parents house, in May, 1980, just days before Joy Division was about to embark on a North American tour.
8. SLC Punk(1998) A tale of two friends, and ostensibly the only two punk rockers in ultraconservative Salt Lake City in 1985. 'Stevo' and 'Heroin Bob' struggle to find themselves and constantly explain their identities to family, friends and society at large, who take their ripped clothes, Mohawks, tattoos, and colored hair as signs of mental illness.
Stevo finds himself amidst a sea of casual sex, alcohol, drug abuse, nihilism, and the numerous cliques to which he doesn't belong: long hairs, neo Nazis, mods, new wavers, and red necks. Stevo also resents his unsupportive parents, who were former hippies, turned Regan Republicans.
After the ironic, and tragic accidental death of 'Heroin Bob' who was afraid of needles and never touched heroin it is implied in the narration that, Stevo in his own screwed up sense, finally settles down. The film does have a great sound track, which includes bands like Blondie, Fear, The Descendents, The Exploited, Generation X, The Stooges, The Ramones, Minor Threat and Dead Kennedys.
7. Sid and Nancy(1986)
Starring a very thin Gary Oldman as Sid Vicious, the heroin addicted, unpredictable bass player for the Sex Pistols, and his toxic, passionate, and violent relationship with Nancy Spungen. The film opens with Vicious being taken into police custody in New York City, in 1978, where Spungen was allegedly stabbed by Vicious, while both were high on heroin in a room at the infamous Hotel Chelsea.
The details of the fights, injecting heroin, and other turmoil between Nancy and Sid, as well as the other members of the Sex Pistols are detailed in the film and are vivid, even if exaggerated or dramatized. Even Courtney Love has a cameo as Gretchen, one of the couple's junky friends in the punk scene. The film leaves the exact circumstances of Nancy's death by stabbing up to viewers, as well as Sid's own death from a heroin overdose in 1979, before going on trial for killing Nancy.
6. Rock n Roll High School (1979)
Perhaps this film might seem nostalgic and cheesy to younger fans, but keep in mind the context: there was no cell phone, DVDs, Internet, You Tube, digital cameras, free downloads or polished sounding rock bands. This is a classic tale of youth rebellion and the potential passion that all teens inherently have for rock n roll music.
The Ramones were one of the biggest rock bands, and the founders of punk rock, when the film was released. The band members star as themselves (Joey, Johnny, Dee Dee and Marky), as they take control over Vince Lombardi High School, and celebrate a student body that cares more about rocking out than hitting the books. The band's performances are of the same quality of the videos from the same era and musically The Ramones are at their peak.
Party cheesy teenage coming of age comedy, part punk rock history, and this musical punk rock comedy gives younger people who weren't around to experience it, a taste of the Ramones mania of the early '80s.
5.Suburbia (1983)
Directed by Penelope Spheeris, who also directed The Decline of Western Civilization series, this film is a fictional portrayal of life in the early '80s in a suburban LA area for run-away punks living in an abandoned building off the 605 freeways.
As wild rabid dogs, kill a toddler; angry citizens come to the area to shoot the dogs, leading to confrontations with the punks. Stealing food, alcohol and anything else they can get their hands on, these young punks do anything they can to survive. The film explores the drug use, squalid living conditions and broken families of these kids, who all live in the 'TR' House, and treat each other like family.
Among the madness, violence, crime, and aggression, the film contains several live musical performances by hometown OG punk bands DI, TSOL and the Vandals. A tragic, angst-ridden portrait of the not so glamorous lifestyle of these young punks.
4.Repo Man (1984)
This movie is a cult classic, starring a young Emilio Estevez as an LA punk rocker, who is unhappy with his job as a grocery store clerk, and ends up landing a gig as a repo man, which involves driving fast, partying, sleeping with tons of women and living in the fast lane.
With one repo assignment however, the movie turns into a bizarre, twisted sci-fi action thriller, all centering upon a mysterious radioactive weapon that might be used for nefarious reasons, as it is raced in the back trunk of a car throughout downtown LA and eventually the Southern CA Desert area.
3.Summer of Sam (1999)
Written and produced by renowned film maker Spike Lee, this is a fictionalized tale of the real life Son of Sam Killer, David Berkowitz, who terrified residents of New York City's Bronx neighborhood in the summer months of 1977. The victims were men and woman shot to death at close range, many in parked cars. The brutal, horrific killings caused an extreme episode of fear, panic, anger and paranoia among residents, and this film captures the essence of this vibe on film beautifully.
The film stars John Leguizamo, Mira Sorvino, Jennifer Esposito and Adrian Brody as one of the central characters: a punk rocker who is thought to be a Son of Sam suspect because of his punk fashion, including a Mohawk, dyed hair, chains and leather.
Son of Sam also centers on the center of the Disco movement, and all its excesses of cocaine, sex and the escapades of Studio 54. The real life CBGBs was used, as the newly formed but thriving punk rock scene first erupted in New York City. Heroin use, violence, vinyl records, sex, and being ostracized by society was a part of the underground; this was a time when being different in any way, was dangerous and people were on extra alert due to the Son of Sam Murders.
2.The Runaways (2010)
Another biographical drama about the origins and formation of the LA all girl rock band, formed in 1975. The Runaways were a rock band, but managed to become a huge influence on not just rock but also punk and metal. Formed by guitarist and songwriter Joan Jett (played by Kristen Stewart) the band was also made up of singer Cherie Currie (played by Dakota Fanning) and drummer Sandie West and guitarist Lita Ford.
The movie depicts the band's early days, prior to forming when music producer Kim Fowley is interested in Jett's aspirations to form an all girl rock band. Eventually, the band auditions the young, blonde Cherie Currie who at first fails to impress the band, until the song 'Cherry Bomb' is written on the spot after singing the impromptu lyrics she joins the band.
Eventually, the Runaways land a major record deal, within two years, and become an overnight sensation across the world, especially in Japan, where the girls perform to rabid fans rivaling those of the Beatles. This success hits the girls hard, and is sequenced among dramatic scenes of infighting, fame, groupies, drug and alcohol abuse, and life in the fast line, including an overdose by Currie, while in Japan, from pills and booze. The movie chooses to look closely at the loving, yet fractured dynamic between Jett and Currie, who eventually chooses to go into acting at the band breaks up, while Jett has no choice but to remain in the world of rock music, by forming her own Joan Jett and the Black Hearts.
1.What We Do Is Secret (2007)
This movie is an accurate portrayal of the explosive LA punk band known as the Germs, and a look at the life, and death of the band's volatile, yet poetic lead singer, Darby Crash.
Known as one of the most dangerous, hated and unpredictable band on the LA punk scene from the beginning in the late '70s, the Germs brought violence, aggression, broken glass, blood and fist fights to each show they performed, and soon, the band was notorious for starting riots, eventually having them banned form most clubs and venues throughout LA. The movie is a definite punk rock history lesson, with scenes depicting the damned playing at the Whisky and many live specially recreated performances at the Masque in Hollywood, and for the film The Decline of Western Civilization.
The band's singer was viewed as a more nihilistic, sociopathic version of Jim Morrison, and would regularly perform after shooting up crystal meth, heroin, ketamine or any other drugs he could find. The band, and other punks form the scene lived off of cigarettes, malt liquor and chili dogs from a popular punk rock eatery/ hangout in LA known as Oki Dogs.
The Germs also was made of Lorna Doom, Pat Smear and Don Bolles created magic and aura that was the spirit of the punk movement, before they knew it was a movement. But unfortunately, Darby Crash had other plans in mind, and in 1980, on the same day that John Lennon was assassinated, Crash was found dead, of a self inflicted heroin overdose in Hollywood. It is rumored that before he collapsed from the fatal hit, he wrote 'Here Lies Darby Crash' on an adjacent table. Actor Shane West, who portrayed the late Darby Crash, was so convincing that since he has toured and played several shows with the surviving members of the Germs.

Knowridge Science Report
Home Computer Science New model to interpret prisoner's dilemma
New model to interpret prisoner's dilemma
Knowridge
Sometimes individual self-interest may conflict social benefit.
One of such situations is the Prisoner's Dilemma, a hypothetical game set up that shows a situation where people won't want to work together even when it's beneficial to do so.
For example, Mr. White and Mr. Black have been arrested by policemen for some minor crime.
The police think the two people have committed some more serious crime, but they don't have evidence to prove that.
To get the criminals' confession, the police put the two men in two separated rooms so that they cannot talk.
Then the police give each person several choices: if the criminal admits the partner's crime, he can go free, but the partner will spend 5 five years in prison;
if the criminal keeps silent but the partner reports that he is the one who really did it, the partner will go free and the criminal will stay in jail for 5 years;
if they both keep silent and because the police have no evidence about their serious crime, they both will only stay in jail for 1 year for their minor crime;
finally, if they both report each other's crime, then they both will stay in prison for 3 years.
In this situation, each partner has two choices: staying silent (i.e. cooperation) or reporting the partner's crime (i.e. defection).
The best choice for the group is that they both keep silent (i.e. 2 years in prison in total).
However, the best choice for each person is that he should report the partner's crime, because he will then be free or only stay in jail for 3 years.
In most social dilemma settings, people need to make decisions repeatedly. Thus, it is not a one-shot game, and a more sophisticated model of human interaction is important.
The model will be helpful to explain the fact that although humans often cooperate, the cooperation levels vary depending on the specific situation.
In a study published in PLoS ONE, scientists developed a model to interpret dynamic cooperation behaviors across different game designs and then examined how design variables influence cooperation.
They created standardized measures of the game and individual behavior across these games and used machine-learning techniques to calibrate and evaluate computational models.
The result showed that their model was successful in predicting individual decisions, average cooperation levels, and cooperation dynamics.
Moreover, they demonstrated that this synthetic model could predict the findings of the human participant experiments.

The tall, handsome and muscular Scottish actor Sean Connery is best known as the original actor to portray James Bond in the hugely successful movie franchise, starring in seven films between 1962 and 1983. Some believed that such a career-defining role might leave him unable to escape it, but he proved the doubters wrong, becoming one of the most notable film actors of his generation, with a host of great movies to his name. This arguably culminated in his greatest acclaim in 1988, when Connery won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role as an Irish cop in The Untouchables (1987), stealing the thunder from the movie's principal star Kevin Costner. Connery was polled as "The Greatest Living Scot" and "Scotland's Greatest Living National Treasure". In 1989, he was proclaimed "Sexiest Man Alive" by People magazine, and in 1999, at age 69, he was voted "Sexiest Man of the Century."Thomas "Sean" Connery was born on August 25, 1930 in Fountainbridge, Edinburgh. His mother, Euphemia C. (Maclean), was a cleaning lady, and his father, Joseph Connery, was a factory worker and truck driver. He also had a brother, Neil Connery, a plasterer in Edinburgh. He was of Irish and Scottish descent. Before going into acting, Sean had many different jobs, such as a milkman, lorry driver, a laborer, artist's model for the Edinburgh College of Art, coffin polisher and bodybuilder. He also joined the Royal Navy, but was later discharged because of medical problems. At the age of 23, he had a choice between becoming a professional footballer or an actor, and even though he showed much promise in the sport, he chose acting and said it was one of his more intelligent moves.No Road Back (1957) was Sean's first major movie role, and it was followed by several made-for-TV movies such as ITV Television Playhouse: Anna Christie (1957), Macbeth (1961) and Anna Karenina (1961) as well as guest appearances on TV series, and also films such as Hell Drivers (1957), Another Time, Another Place (1958), Darby O'Gill and the Little People (1959) and The Frightened City (1961). In 1962 he appeared in The Longest Day (1962) with a host of other stars.His big breakthrough came in 1962 when he landed the role of secret agent James Bond in Dr. No (1962). He played James Bond in six more films: From Russia with Love (1963), Goldfinger (1964), Thunderball (1965), You Only Live Twice (1967), Diamonds Are Forever (1971) and Never Say Never Again (1983).After and during the success of the Bond films, he maintained a successful career as an actor and has appeared in films, including Alfred Hitchcock's Marnie (1964), The Hill (1965), Murder on the Orient Express (1974), The Man Who Would Be King (1975), The Wind and the Lion (1975), Time Bandits (1981), Highlander (1986), The Name of the Rose (1986), Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989), The Hunt for Red October (1990), Rising Sun (1993), The Rock (1996), Finding Forrester (2000) and The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (2003).Sean married actress Diane Cilento in 1962 and they had Sean's only child, Jason Connery, born on January 11, 1963. The couple announced their separation in February 1971 and filed for divorce 2½ years later. Sean then dated Jill St. John, Lana Wood, Magda Konopka and Carole Mallory. In 1975 he married Micheline Roquebrune and they stayed married, despite Sean's well-documented love affair with Lynsey de Paul in the late '80s. Sean had three stepchildren through his marriage to Micheline. He is also a grandfather. His son, Jason and Jason's ex-wife, actress Mia Sara had a son, Dashiell Connery, in 1997.Sean Connery died on 31 October, 2020, in Nassau, the Bahamas, where he resided. He was 90.

Q: KeyCloak getProvider() return null my KeycloakSmsAuthenticatorUtil class has a getMessage(AuthenticationFlowContext context, String key) method that uses the themeProvider to get the theme, but the keycloakSession.getProvider() always returns null.
public class KeycloakSmsAuthenticatorUtil {

private static Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(KeycloakSmsAuthenticatorUtil.class);

...

public static String getMessage(AuthenticationFlowContext context, String key) {
    String result = null;

    try {
        ThemeProvider themeProvider = context.getSession().getProvider(ThemeProvider.class, "extending");

    if (themeProvider == null) {
            logger.warn("THEME PROVIDER IS NULL");
        }

        Theme currentTheme = themeProvider.getTheme(context.getRealm().getLoginTheme(), Theme.Type.LOGIN);
        Locale locale = context.getSession().getContext().resolveLocale(context.getUser());
        result = currentTheme.getMessages(locale).getProperty(key);
    } catch (IOException e) {
        logger.warn(key + "not found in messages");
    }

    return result;
}

Themeprovider is null, so the program crashes on the next line when the currentTheme is received.
.[0m.[33m16:43:40,550 WARN  [six.six.keycloak.authenticator.KeycloakSmsAuthenticatorUtil] (default task-2) THEME PROVIDER IS NULL

        at deployment.keycloak-sms-authenticator-sns-test.jar//six.six.keycloak.authenticator.KeycloakSmsAuthenticatorUtil.getMessage(KeycloakSmsAuthenticatorUtil.java:173)

how can i get a non nullable themeProvider?
the error is in the ThemeProvider, not in the context or keycloakSession.

A: I replaced ThemeProvider with ThemeManager, it helped.
public static String getMessage(AuthenticationFlowContext context, String key) {
        String result = null;
        try {
            KeycloakSession keycloakSession = context.getSession();

            RealmModel realmModel = context.getRealm();

            String loginTheme = realmModel.getLoginTheme();

            ThemeManager themeManager = keycloakSession.theme();

            Theme currentTheme = themeManager.getTheme(loginTheme, Theme.Type.LOGIN);

            Locale locale =
 context.getSession().getContext().resolveLocale(context.getUser());
            result = currentTheme.getMessages(locale).getProperty(key);

Denis Mikhailov, a graduate of SFU Beedie's Full Time MBA program, is the Founder and CEO of Nomad Nutrition Ltd, a venture that creates healthy dehydrated meals aimed at outdoor enthusiasts.
SFU Beedie alumnus takes healthy eating to the great outdoors
By Will Henderson
From tree planting in remote areas of B.C. to pitching his start-up business on CBC's Dra走ns' Den—via the European Union and a stint in corporate banking—Denis Mikhailov's career path has been anything but orthodox.
Mikhailov, a graduate of SFU Beedie's Full Time MBA program, is the Founder and CEO of Nomad Nutrition Ltd502 Bad Gateway
Founded in 2017, the business is already building a loyal following in North America. 该 product is sold in over 65 different retail locations across Canada and the USA including outdoor retailers MEC, Atmosphere and Valhalla Pure Outfitters, as well as online through Amazon and the company's own website. It received another major boost in November 2019, when Mikhailov and his business partner Polina Slepukhina appeared on CBC's primetime TV show Dra走n's Den, which showcases entrepreneurs and their ventures.
该 founders' pitch impressed the judges and they received investment offers from three of the six established entrepreneurs, one of which they accepted: $100,000 investment for a 12 per cent stake, valuing the business at more than $830,000. Mikhailov says they have already seen an uptick in sales and enquiries following the show's broadcast in November.
Discussing his business, Mikhailov has the infectious energy and enthusiasm of a natural entrepreneur, but starting a business was not always his 走al. His undergraduate degree is in political science and, after graduating, he completed an internship with the Canadian mission at the European Union. He subsequently took a job in Sweden as he pursued his ambition to join the diplomatic service.
"My parents are immigrants, I'm an immigrant to Canada, and I grew up in a family of entrepreneurs," he says. "That kind of high-risk, high-reward lifestyle is very conducive to me."

When it comes to our members Srdjan, Mladen and Marko are also members of Alogia and some other projects as well and I am owner of Metal Sound Magazine (www.metal-sound.net). Zeljko plays in band Orvel.
I think that epic power metal (with some extreme metal moments) is quite suitable for describing the style, but if I say that there are lots of various influences mainly coming from Rhapsody, Blind Guardian, but also from Summoning or Bal-Sagoth I think it will be even more suitable for the readers.
Thus far we've released three 3CDs: ''Colossal Darkness'', ''Sword and Sorcery'' and ''Sword and Sorcery 2016''. I am quite satisfied since we have already some songs like ''Dragon of Erebor'' with more than 50,000 views at Youtube, but also there are other songs with higher number of views like ''The Eternal Champion'' from the debut record or cover ''Valhalla'' (Blind Guardian) which turned out to be very popular.
In fact, thus far we have never performed live, but, yet I guess, that in the years to come we'll also make some gigs. We've already some plans and some offerings to appear on some festivals but, still we haven't schedule anything yet.
We're already working with two labels (Stormspell Rec. and Stygian crypt Prod.) and, also we are working with some promoters as well like Unknown power metal Youtube channel so we are quite satisfied. Also, I use my Metal Sound webzine for the promotion as well since it has higher number of views. I think that more and more people already supported us since they like our style and music.
We are just recording the upcoming, 3rd record. The working title is ''Chronicles from the Realm Beyond''. We've already recorded few songs like ''Over the Mountains Cold'' which will be released I guess in November as a studio video-clip. And, if everything goes well, we will released a brand new record in 2017.

Snøhetta unveils plans for world's first ship tunnel in Norway
This article was originally published on ArchDaily as "Snøhetta Unveils Plans for World's First Ship Tunnel in Norway."
The Norwegian Coastal Administration has revealed visualizations of the world's first full-scale ship tunnel that would link two fjords on either side of the Stad Peninsula in Norway, allowing ships to bypass the "most exposed, most dangerous" waters on the Norwegian coast. With the project now in the feasibility stage, architecture studio Snøhetta has produced a series of rendered design concepts to help the project gain traction within the Norwegian government.
The Stad Ship Tunnel would measure 1.7 kilometers long, 36 meters wide and 49 meters tall—large enough to accommodate full-sized boats such as large cruise ships, sailboats, and coastal steamers. Traffic would pass through one way at a time, but even with a waiting period, the tunnel would chop off significant time and hazard from the existing route around the peninsula. Estimates show that between 70 and 120 ships could use the tunnel on a daily basis.
Working with Olav Olsen of Norwegian consulting firm Norconsult, Snøhetta has designed the two entrances to the tunnel using the material palette of the peninsula, with both wire-cut and blasted stone walls making up the opening arches. On the Moldefjorden side, the design would utilize the steep landscape to create a dramatic entrance. A more sensitive, terraced opening would pop out at Kjødepollen, where a small village is located.
The idea for building a ship tunnel through the Stad Peninsula has been discussed for over 100 years, with original plans documented as far back as the 1870s. Historians have even discovered that Vikings often preferred to portage their ships over the 1.7 kilometer stretch than sail through the dangerous seas.
Initial cost estimates for the project come in at 2.3billion Kroner (~$270 million USD). The Norwegian Coastal Association is hoping to receive a final political decision soon. If approved, construction could begin as early as 2019. News via Norwegian Coastal Association. Written by Patrick Lynch. Want more from ArchDaily? Like their Facebook page here.
Elon Musk hates traffic, plans to dig tunnel under Los Angeles
Elon Musk announced today via Twitter that he is making plans to build at least one tunnel under Los Angeles as part of the Tesla and Space X CEO's efforts to overcome automobile traffic in that city. A few weeks ago, the technology magnate issued a series of tweets expressing displeasure with what must have been a particularly bad patch of gridlock, saying, "Traffic is driving me nuts. Am going to build a tunnel boring machine and just start digging…" Early this morning, Musk followed up with an update, saying, again via Twitter, "Exciting progress on the tunnel front. Plan to start digging in a month or so." Responding to a follower who asked exactly where would Musk's new tunnel be, Musk said, "Starting across from my desk at SpaceX. Crenshaw and the 105 Freeway, which is 5 mins from LAX."
Exciting progress on the tunnel front. Plan to start digging in a month or so.
It is unclear if or how these tunnels will be approved for construction, whether Musk has begun the environmental review process for the tunnels, or if the tunnels will be built using solely private investment or whether the local, state or federal governments will help out. Musk has cozied up to President Trump in recent weeks, attending a technology summit at Trump Tower earlier this month and another meeting on manufacturing just after the president was inaugurated, so it's possible he could have access to some portion of the president's purported $1 trillion infrastructure plan. Details for that plan is still forthcoming, but early reports indicate it will rely heavily on Public Private Partnerships and will aim to boost highway, bridge, and tunnel infrastructure—not to mention detention centers, and prisons—at the expense of more publicly-oriented and environmentally-friendly infrastructure like rapid-transit. It is also unclear if Musk has considered taking L.A.'s existing rapid transit system when traveling to the airport. There's a stop on the system's Green Line at the corner of the block where Space X's headquarters sits. Additionally, with the Crenshaw / LAX Transit project due to be completed in 2019, getting to the airport should be quick, easy, and only cost $1.75 each way from there. "Traffic," after all, isn't something that merely happens in isolation; it's a phenomenon that happens as a result of individuals using private vehicle transport to get around.
Dormant for 70 years, South London's war-time tunnels now open to the public for the first time
On the surface, Clapham South is your standard Northern Line tube station, complete with art deco decorum to boot. Situated in South London in what was once a gritty part of the capital, but now a typically gentrified area, there are more than just tube tunnels that run below the ground. One hundred twenty feet and approximately 178 steps down, one can now find the place where many South Londoner's took refuge during World War II. The tunnels at Clapham, now open to the public for the first time, once catered for over 8,000 people. After a public protest for more deep level shelter protection, tunnels were dug by hand such was the desperation of the local population. As Londoners clamoured for beds, air raid tickets were issued with strict guidance on what shelter to go to and even what bed to use. After lying dormant for 70 years, the tunnels and beds left untouched have been reopened. The original signs remain and thanks to a few tactful inceptions courtesy of Transport for London (TfL) and The London Transport Museum, the tunnels offer an immersive view into the life of a Londoner during war time. TfL say that they hope the tunnels will also be a useful stream for revenue. After the war, the tunnels remained in use, acting as temporary homes for immigrants invited to Britain from the West Indies. Most of the beds were used by Jamaicans who had travelled across on the Empire Windrush in 1948. Clapham South wasn't the only station used for refuge. In fact many tube stations doubled up as shelters during the war. At the other end of the Northern Line, American talk show host Jerry Springer was born at Highgate tube station as his mother took shelter during an air raid in 1944.
New York City converted this dingy subway tunnel into a colorful underground museum of street art
For a long time, the 900-foot pedestrian tunnel that leads to the 1 train in Washington Heights was one of New York City's creepiest spaces. Now, it's been transformed into one of the city's best places to see art—or at least take some impressive Instagram photos. As part of the New York City Department of Transportation (NYCDOT) Beautification Project, the dingy tunnel was recently transformed into a colorful, art-filled corridor. NYCDOT picked five teams of artists (out of 150 submissions) and gave them each a 200-foot piece of the tunnel to use as a canvas. As you can see, the result is pretty dramatic. NYCDOT has a nice rundown of what visitors and commuters should expect as they make their way through the tunnel:
At the entrance to the tunnel, local Washington Heights artist Andrea von Bujdoss, also known as Queen Andrea, welcomes pedestrians with her mural entitled, 'Primastic Power Phrases,' a series of typographical designs that include phrases such as, 'Today is Your Day,' 'Live your Dreams' and 'Estoy Aqui!' As one travels further into the tunnel, Maryland-based artist team Jessie Unterhalter and Katey Truhn have created, 'Caterpillar Time Travel,' a series of colorful, geometric designs. Next, Queens-based artist Nick Kuszyk takes viewers through 'Warp Zone,' a geometric design that plays with perspective and 'warps' the tunnel walls. Chilean artist Nelson Rivas, also known as Cekis, has created a dense jungle landscape with, 'It's like a Jungle/Aveces es como una jungla.' At the end of the Tunnel, local artist Fernando Cope, Jr., also known as Cope 2, created 'Art is Life' to remind pedestrians to 'Take Your Passion, Make it Happen' and to 'Follow Your Dreams.'
If you're wondering why the DOT oversaw this project, it's because the tunnel is technically mapped as a city street. Anyway, onto the pictures!
Sandhogs continue to make progress on New York City's enormous $11 billion East Side train tunnel
New York City's MTA has posted another collection of East Side Access construction photos to remind New Yorkers that its majorly delayed and hugely over budget project is still actually chugging along. When East Side Access is ultimately completed, at the cost of nearly $11 billion, it will connect Long Island Rail Road trains to Grand Central making life easier for about 80,000 commuters. But that's a long ways off—last we heard, the project will not be completed until 2023. As for where the project currently stands, the MTA explained in a statement, "Work continues on the Manhattan side of the East Side Access Project below Grand Central Terminal with waterproofing, rebar arch installation and drilling for couplers. In addition, temporary shoring for concrete slabs that will make up track and room levels can be seen." To see for yourself, take a look at the photos below which were captured by the MTA deep beneath city streets.
Bertha's stuck and the under-construction Seattle viaduct is sinking
It looks like it's bad news again for the in-progress Alaskan Way Viaduct replacement tunnel in Seattle, and for Bertha, the nickname for the world's largest tunnel boring machine being used to create the underground highway. Bertha has been idle for much of 2014 due to a broken cutter system. And now the complex process to reach Bertha 60 feet below the surface has been halted. Recently a team of engineers discovered that the soil around Bertha is sinking as much as 1.4 inches in some places. The project will be further delayed as engineers get a better reading on the settling of the soil. Originally the viaduct was scheduled to open in December 2015, but now the date has been set to sometime in 2017. Somewhat ominously, the Seattle Times reported: "The viaduct settlement this fall could mean that some portions of the structure have sunk more than 6 inches since the 2001 Nisqually earthquake—exceeding a safety limit that WSDOT publicized last decade." Let's hope the engineers and officials get to the bottom of this soon.
In Construction> New York City's East Side Access tunnel dons a yellow raincoat deep underground
Every so often, New York City's MTA shares a batch of construction photos to remind New Yorkers that one of its long-delayed projects is still chugging along beneath their feet. The latest photo set takes us underneath Manhattan where the MTA is busy borrowing tunnels that will one day connect the Long Island Rail Road to Grand Central. The whole project is expected to cost nearly $11 billion and won't be wrapped up until 2023, so no need to rush through the gallery.
Look inside London's subterranean funhouse, The House of Vans
The house that Vans built is 30,000 square feet, cavernous, and deep underneath London. The iconic shoe and clothes retailer recently transformed the Old Vic Tunnels beneath Waterloo Station into "The House of Vans"—a multi-level, subterranean cultural venue complete with galleries, artist studios, a café, two bars, an 85-person music venue, a 160-person cinema, and, of course, a skate park. The space, which was designed by London-based design firm Hellicar & Lewis, had been used as an arts venue from 2009 to 2013. "The space is ready for both work and play; with a wide range of educational & learning activities on offer," said Vans in a statement on the venue's website. "Not forgetting, our cultural and sporting events that are attracting the best talent from across the globe…from skateboarding and beyond." The venue is open five days a week and will host live events on the weekends. The project brings to mind elements of New York City's own proposed subterranean playground, The Lowline, which continues its efforts to repurpose tunnels under the Lower East Side. The House of Vans London is actually the company's second outpost, the first House of Vans is in, predictably, a former warehouse in Brooklyn. This is where you would probably expect a reference to the HBO show "Girls," but let's just call it here. [h/t Creative Review UK]
What stopped earth's biggest-diameter tunnel boring drill?
It was early December in Seattle when the world's biggest-diameter tunnel boring machine, called Bertha, came to a stop underneath Seattle. It was plowing through the city's underground as part of the two-mile project to bring SR 99 underground and replace the Alaskan Way Viaduct. Overnight, it seemed as if the whole of Seattle and beyond was curious: was it buried treasure from the gold rush days? Or bootlegger artifacts? Last week officials determined the frustrating cause of the blockage: an 8-inch wide, 119-foot long steel pipe originally placed by a state groundwater research team back in 2002. The Washington State Department of Transportation is currently drilling shafts to grind and remove the pipe.
Tunnel Rats: Does Texas Favor Building Highways Over Subways?
According to a very confidential source, engineers currently working on the Waller Creek tunnel believe that Austin sits on top of some of the most optimal conditions for tunneling in the entire U.S. These number-crunching problem solvers claimed that a subway tunnel beneath the Texas State Capital's downtown would cost 1/10th of the amount it would in most places in the country. However, the brainiacs also said that there are those in high places who do not want that knowledge spread around (read TxDOT) because the construction of more freeways is making certain people a great deal of money.
Video> Sandhogs Blast Bedrock Beneath Grand Central Terminal
New York City's Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) has completed blasting through bedrock far below Grand Central Terminal for the East Side Access Tunnels that will connect the station with Sunnyside, Queens. As part of the announcement, one of the last production blasts from late March has debuted on YouTube. The video above reveals what has been transpiring beneath the streets of Manhattan during the tunneling process, and the sight is rather impressive. A camera caught the final blast that made way for a massive cavern. So far 2,424 production blasts have occurred below the commuter rail terminal station, which is celebrating its 100th birthday this year. For this explosion, sandhogs drilled more than 200 blast holes and loaded them with over 300 pounds of powder to guarantee a powerful explosion that could rival any action movie's special effects.
Tunnel Time: Amtrak Tunnel Beneath Hudson Yards Sets Stage For Gateway Project
Construction on the two-track Gateway project, a new tunnel between New Jersey and Manhattan, will commence this summer beneath Related Company's Hudson Yards redevelopment site. Related Companies and Amtrak will build this 800-foot-long "box tunnel," which will first serve as a shell for Amtrak's rail connection linking the Hudson tunnel to Penn Station's tracks, and, eventually, to the proposed Moynihan Station. The actual Amtrak Gateway Project is still years away, but construction on this first leg of the tunnel is happening now to coordinate with construction on Manhattan's West Side. The project will be funded by the federal government including some funding from the Hurricane Sandy relief package meant to help mitigate flooding during future storms. It's estimated to cost between $120 and $150 million.

£23m Merseyside housing scheme approved as Torus prepares to build 131 homes
Works are due to start by the end of the year

Housing firm Torus has received approval for its £23m plans to build 131 homes on former school playing fields in Merseyside.
The North West growth and regeneration group will now build a mixture of two, three and four bedroom houses on council-owned land off Astley Road and Knowsley Lane in Huyton.
The firm said the scheme marks its commitment to "bolstering the affordable housing and job market in the area", and it will now work in partnership with Knowsley Council and its charitable arm, Torus Foundation.
The houses, which will be rent-to-buy, will be split between two neighbouring plots. One site, to the west of Knowsley Lane Primary School, covers the now-overgrown land formerly occupied by the primary school's west wing.

That building was later the council's training and conference centre, but was knocked down in 2012.
Managing director of Torus, Chris Bowen, said; "After the success of The Maples, investing in the growth of Knowsley continues to be a priority for us as a Group and we will continue to build – literally and figuratively – on the works we have started in the area.
"This scheme marks our commitment to bolstering the affordable housing and job market in the area and we will actively be working with local partners to recruit local talent to build the type of houses needed in the area.
"This is an exciting scheme and one which encapsulates our ongoing and sustainable approach to generating value for the people who live and work in Knowsley – specifically in the wake of COVID-19 – to create a thriving, supported and strong community."

Due to start on site before the end of the year and complete in Autumn 2022, the development will be supported by the necessary infrastructure to ensure it can be developed without impacting on the surrounding community, including a dedicated 500kVA Substation, highway and drainage infrastructure.
It's hoped to appeal to people hoping to get on the property ladder, and will be available at a reduced rent for the first five years, providing the opportunity to save for a deposit.
After five years, residents will then be able to buy their home outright, or through shared ownership.
It's the second significant investment Torus has made in Knowsley in the past two years following the group's £25m Maples development, an independent living complex for over 55s, supported living bungalows and affordable family homes in Kirkby.
The news comes after Torus last week revealed plans to build hundreds of homes on Lightbody Street in the North Docks as part of a £30m transformation.

Q: MarkLogic scheduled backup fails because backup operation already in progress We are running a 3-node cluster (ML 8.0-5) on EC2 (centOS servers). We have nightly backups to S3 scheduled for all the databases.
For some of the databases, such as Security, I see the following error in the log:

2016-12-23 05:00:08.820 Info: Starting 2-forest database backup to s3://[bucket]/Security/20161223-0500088204840, jobid=17882056419810225406 (Daily event scheduled every 1 day at T05:00:00.0Z)
2016-12-23 05:00:08.821 Error: 2-forest database backup to s3://[bucket]/Security/20161223-0500088204840, jobid=17882056419810225406, timestamp=18446744073709551615 failed: XDMP-FORESTOPIN: Forest Security has a backup operation in progress

I checked s3, and the backup for the Security db was not written to the bucket on 12/23, although the backup for that database succeeded on 12/22. Additionally, backups for other databases succeeded on 12/23.
The "database-status" page in the admin console for Security shows that the last backup ran last night (2016-12-23T05:01:01.863573Z).
Additionally, the "forest-status" page for the Security forest shows that it was last backed up last night (    December 23, 2016  5:01:02 AM).
This has been affecting all of the ancillary databases (Schemas, Documents, Modules) for at least the last two weeks.
Any ideas what may cause this? I can always open a ticket with support, but since these are ancillary databases and so not as critical, wanted to check here first if there was something obvious.
BTW: This may be related to Marklogic scheduled backups failing, but I couldn't tell because that question didn't provide enough details for comparison.

A: I realized that the answer is covered in the MarkLogic Knowledgebase here:
https://help.marklogic.com/Knowledgebase/Article/View/204/0/best-practicies-when-backing-up-multiple-databases-simultaneously
In this case, all the databases were scheduled for backups at the same time and their configurations included the auxiliary databases. In other words the Security, Schemas, and Documents databases ran backups at 5 am and included a backup of the Security database. This caused a conflict since the Security database was likely to already be in a "backing up" condition.
I was able to replicate the situation on a local MarkLogic instance by scheduling a backup of the Security and Schemas database for the same time period while accepting the default configuration of backing up all the auxiliary databases. I could avoid the error by NOT accepting the default option of including the auxiliary databases in the backup.


But, with each bout of frustration comes a renewed sense of commitment to their life work. They remind themselves and their team members that even though first responders can't change the course of an event, their intervention helps things turn out for the better. All of our nation's defenders, including firefighters, emergency medical technicians (EMTs) and law enforcement, can find comfort in knowing that they protect America's communities as best as they humanly can. I encourage you to pause and say "thank you" to those who, without fail, show up.

Sope Creek is an 11.6-mile-long (18.7 km)stream located in Cobb County, Georgia, United States. It is a significant tributary of the Chattahoochee River. It was known as Soap Creek during the 19th century. A section of Sope Creek runs through the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area.
The Sope Creek Ruins are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Sope Creek starts within the city of Marietta proper, on the west side of Interstate 75, on the northeastern portion of State Route 120 Alternate (former northern half of State Route 120 Loop, now known as North Marietta Parkway. The creek begins as a spring, first evident emerging out of a culvert under Sessions Street, where it trickles southward and serves as the rear property line for the historic homes on lots facing Church Street (to the west), and Cherokee Street (to the east). The creek then travels in a culvert under the intersection of Cherokee Street and North Marietta Parkway, then under the parking lot of the Police Department/Cobb 911 Center at the SE corner of the intersection. Thereafter, the creek travels east, parallel with SR 120 Alt., turning southeast around the same point as the road. It then separates from road, continuing southeast, as the road bends south. It crosses Roswell Road (the main Georgia 120), and travels in a sidewinder fashion to the east for the next 4 miles (6 km). Along the way, Sewell Mill Creek and Bishop Creek empty into Sope Creek. At this point, the creek turns south-southeast and crosses Lower Roswell Road. It travels in this direction for the next 2 miles (3 km), crossing Paper Mill Road and Columns Drive, before emptying into the Chattahoochee River. From beginning to end, Sope Creek falls nearly 300 feet (90 m) over the course of approximately 12 miles (19 km). In the last two miles, Sope Creek cuts through the palisades that formed on both sides of the Chattahoochee, forming a small gorge based around the creek.

Sidra Medicine expands referrals and opens new services
7 Feb, 2018 News
Following three weeks since the opening of its main hospital, Sidra Medicine, a specialty children's, young people and women's healthcare organization and member of Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development, has announced the next stage in its phased opening with expanded referral options and new services available to patients from 4 February 2018.
From 4 February 2018, the Women's Clinic at Sidra Medicine has begun accepting referrals from Al-Rayyan Health Center and Gharrafat Al Rayyan Health Center, in addition to ongoing referrals from Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC) and Primary Health Care Corporation (PHCC) Centers.
Also from 4 February 2018 onward, the Sidra Medicine main hospital in addition to doing elective cesarean deliveries, has begun scheduling births by planned induction of labor. Deliveries by induction of labor will be scheduled by referral only. Women who go into spontaneous labor will need to go to HMC for deliveries. This also applies for patients currently registered and receiving their antenatal care at Sidra Medicine.
Under children's and young people's services, additional low-risk orthopedics and all general surgery services have also become available from 4 February 2018. From 11 February 2018, pediatric neurology and rheumatology clinics, as well as complex general pediatric care, will open at Sidra Medicine.
The latest inpatient children's services will be added to the list of existing services currently available by referral and appointment only. This includes pulmonology, gastroenterology, endocrinology and non-invasive cardiology services, as well as low-risk general surgery, urology, plastic and ear, nose and throat surgical procedures.
Commenting on the first few weeks of operation at the main hospital, Sidra Medicine Chief Medical Officer Dr. John Ferguson said, "The weeks since we opened our main hospital building have been marked with many heartwarming developments, from welcoming our first babies to treating our first inpatients. Most importantly, however, the intense preparation and systems testing we conducted ahead of opening has ensured efficiency and safety with no adverse patient outcomes. As a hospital focusing on some of the most complex medical specialties, patient safety is of utmost importance to the entire team at Sidra Medicine. The continuous staff training and state-of-the-art monitoring processes we have set in place will help us continue to deliver safe, family-centric care."
Since opening its doors on 14 January and as of 31 January, Sidra Medicine's main hospital has performed 79 pediatric procedures and 13 C-sections, admitted 33 pediatric patients and welcomed 14 babies. The birth of the babies was marked with much delight, starting with the arrival of the first baby girl on 14 January, and then the first baby boy on 15 January, followed by several more births including twins in the three weeks since opening.
The current schedule of inpatient services will be ramped up through mid-2018 to include more complex pediatric surgeries, specialist pediatric services in cardiology and others, as well as deliveries, focusing on high-risk pregnancies.
"We are looking forward to expanding our services to the children, young people and women of Qatar in line with a patient-safe and phased approach to opening. This allows for extensive testing at every step of the way to identify any areas that can be enhanced and adjust processes in pursuit of continuous improvement," added Sidra Medicine's CMO Dr. Ferguson.
Patients coming to Sidra Medicine are currently being seen by referral and by appointment only. The Emergency Department (ED) at Sidra Medicine will open in mid-2018. Emergency cases should continue to be seen at established ED centers throughout Qatar.

The Health Benefits of Shatavari
There are about 300 varieties of plants in the genus, Asparagus. One of these varieties is Asparagus racemosus, more commonly known as Shatavari. While it can be found in parts of Africa, Australia, and Southern China, it is most commonly cultivated in India. Shatavari is considered a rasayana in Ayurveda.
An Introduction To Shatavari
There are about 300 varieties of plants in the genus, Asparagus. One of these varieties is Asparagus racemosus, more commonly known as Shatavari. While it can be found in parts of Africa, Australia, and Southern China, it is most commonly cultivated in India. Shatavari is considered a rasayana in Ayurveda. (1)
Ayurveda is a Sanskrit word that means "science of life." It is the name for a healing tradition from the Vedic culture of India. It is thought that Ayurveda is one of the oldest healing disciplines. While we have some written records of Ayurveda dating back thousands of years, Ayurveda originated as an orally passed-down knowledge. Due to this, much of the knowledge of Ayurveda has been lost to us, though much has been preserved and passed down orally.
According to the Ayurvedic Institute, "Ayurveda places great emphasis on prevention and encourages the maintenance of health through close attention to balance in one's life, right thinking, diet, lifestyle and the use of herbs." Shatavari is, of course, one of these herbs. (2)
What Is Rasayana?
Rasayana is a branch of the Ayurvedic healing tradition which focuses on rejuvenation and Rasa Dhatu, which is the essence of what we put into our bodies.
While there are several components to rasayana, Dravaya Rasayana is where shatavari would fit in, since Dravaya Rasayana involves what we put into our body, such as herbs and food. (3)
The Physical Characteristics of Shatavari
Shatavari is a climbing plant with a tuberous root.
Like tubers, a tuberous root tends to have a very starchy composition. Plants such as potatoes are tubers you may be familiar with. However, a tuber is the stem of the plant. Tubers form nodes, which can allow more plants to grow from them (just leave a potato alone in the dark for a bit). Roots don't grow nodes, so, with very rare exceptions, a tuberous root cannot produce more plants.
Other examples of plants with tuberous roots are dahlias, daylilies, peonies, some irises, sweet potatoes, taro, and more.
The root of Shatavari is grey or silver-white, with a white inside. The plant portion is fernlike in structure but made up of bright green needle-like pieces, akin to the needles of a pine tree. In July, it will sprout tiny white flowers. (1, 4)
The Benefits of Shatavari
Shatavari has been used for a variety of different health ailments, as well as for the benefits of preventative treatment. Below, we will look at some of the most common.
Gender Benefits of Shatavari
According to "Plant profile, phytochemistry and pharmacology of Asparagus racemosus (Shatavari): A review" from the Asian Pacific Journal of Tropical Medicine, while shatavari has many general use properties, it is also considered to be the Ayurvedic herb of choice for women. In addition to general "women's health disorder[s]," it is supposed to aid with issues in the reproductive system, such as helping to prevent miscarriages.
Shatavari has also been prescribed by Ayurvedic doctors for weakness of the uterus and excessively heavy menstrual bleeding.
Ayurvedic tradition also suggests shatavari may increase lactation, and modern studies have suggested that, in combination with other herbs, this is quite likely.
Furthermore, shatavari has been shown to be an aphrodisiac with the potential to aid in sexual lubrication. (1, 5)
While shatavari has been called an herb for women, it is also said to have many positive effects on men as well. Shatavari has been used as an aphrodisiac, to aid erectile dysfunction, to reduce the refractory period, and to improve sperm count. Many of these traditional Ayurvedic uses have been found to hold true in studies done on rats. According to the article in the Asian Pacific Journal of Tropical Medicine, "present results, therefore, support the folklore claim for the usefulness of these herbs and provide a scientific basis for their purported traditional usage." (1, 5)
Digestive Benefits of Shatavari
Shatavari has been evidenced to help prevent diarrhea. It is also said to help with the prevention and treatment of ulcers. Studies done in mice also show that shatavari could prevent abdominal sepsis after trauma to the bowels. Furthermore, shatavari has been said to help prevent urinary tract infections. (5)
Mental Health Benefits of Shatavari
Shatavari has long been believed to have mental health benefits. Studies done on rats showed it to have "significant antidepressant activity," to help with memory, and to have benefits in stress management. It also seemed to have properties to boost learning and retention.
These mental health benefits, in particular its stress-busting properties are why it's one of the "pure, very high quality natural ingredients" in the Be Serene supplement formula. Made to reduce both the mental and physical effects of stress and anxiety, Be Serene is "non-sedating relief" which will "promote a state of calm, happiness, and relaxation." (5, 6)
Shatavari FAQ
Q: Does shatavari go by other names?
A: Yes! It can also be known as satavari, shatamuli, shimaishadavari, chatavali, Satawar, or aheruballi–and these are only a few of the different names! (1)
Q: What are the growing conditions of Shatavari?
A: Growing best in tropically warm climates, shatavari does well in "black, well drained and fertile soil." When growing, be careful not to over-water. (1)
Q: Is shatavari safe for use?
A: While it is always good to consult your doctor, shatavari is known as "absolutely safe for long term use, even during pregnancy and lactation." The article in the Asian Pacific Journal of Tropical Medicine said that even at extremely high doses, shatavari did not put one at risk of fatality. (5)
Q: Why can it be so hard to find human trials for the benefits of shatavari?
A: Often, traditional medicine is ignored in favor of new pharmaceutical advances. However, "most herbs in traditional cultures are given as part of a whole system of medicine," says physiologist Dr. Fredi Kronenberg. Furthermore, in traditional medicine, if after an initial treatment "your symptoms have changed, you may get different herbs, you may get different doses. That's much more difficult to study." (7)

A lot of people talk about life purpose as a career, but it may NOT be what you do for a paycheck. Sometimes a life purpose is a career, but sometimes it is not. It's important to note that some people have a life purpose to be a parent. Or to exist in a job that they don't love because they uplift and inspire those around them. Have you ever noticed the janitor that smiles and says hello to you EVERY morning? Chances are that he/she doesn't LOVE cleaning toilets, but this particular janitor's life purpose may be to spread joy. We get so wrapped up in what people do for a living that we often miss the point. Life purpose is about how you touch the lives of others. This can be your family, it can be strangers, customers, clients, co-workers. And it CAN be what you get PAID to do for a living, but it doesn't HAVE to be that way.
What did you not fulfill in your life that you feel incomplete about? What do you regret not doing?
What do you feel most proud of? What are you at peace with and feel most accomplished about?
By tuning in and getting answers to these two questions, you will learn a LOT about your life purpose. You will also be able to make decisions that will change the outcome of your current deathbed scene. Do you regret not writing that book that you always wanted to write? Now is your opportunity to do that, or anything else that you find that you feel unfulfilled about. Your story is being written every day and has only been written up to today. What do you want to include in your life story that has yet to happen? Are you doing the things that will get you there? If not, take some time to reassess and implement a plan to make it happen.
YOU have the power to change the course of your life. If you were not at peace with what you saw in your deathbed scene today, go out and change it!
