The number of COVID-19 deaths in Arkansas rose from three to five as of Saturday, with Gov. Asa Hutchinson expressing frustration about supply chain issues that are limiting testing for the pandemic that continues to spread globally. He also said the number of weekly jobless applications in the past week totaled more than 30,000, which followed about 9,400 applications in the prior week.
Arkansas Lawmakers Conclude Coronavirus Special Session Early Saturday
By Roby Brock / Talk Business & Politics • Mar 28, 2020
The first extraordinary session of the 92nd General Assembly was rather ordinary in its business, but extraordinary in its setting.

Despite the growing number of COVID-19 cases in Arkansas, long stretches of wet weather are proving to be more of an issue for farmers, but the virus is having an impact.
Jarrod Hardke, rice extension agronomist for the University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture, says typically, this would be the beginning of the planting season for rice. However, the excess rain has complicated things.
"The overabundance of rainfall throughout the winter and early spring has the majority of our ground still unprepared for planting at this point," Hardke said.

Amid COVID-19 Outbreak, Concerns Over Other Illnesses Grow
UAMS
While the number of positive COVID-19 cases continues to grow across the country and across Arkansas, seasonal illness with similar symptoms are also circulating in the state. Seasonal allergies, the flu and other illnesses that share symptoms with COVID-19 are causing some to believe they could have the coronavirus.

Greeneview sophomore Cole Allen (33) led the Rams with 18 points scored in a 51-48 win Jan. 25 over South Charleston Southeastern, in Jamestown.
Rams junior Gabe Caudill (25) launches a three-point try over Southeastern's Tucker Eriksen, Jan. 25 at Greeneview High School.
Greeneview's Ian Tamplin (13) drives in for a score, during the first half of Friday night's Ohio Heritage Conference boys high school basketball game in Jamestown.
The Greeneview High School band entertained during timeouts, Jan. 24, at the Rams-Southeastern boys high school basketball game in Jamestown.
The Greeneview Rams cheerleaders fire up the crowd, during the first half of Friday's boys high school basketball game in the Bradds Memorial Gymnasium in Jamestown.
JAMESTOWN — The Greeneview Rams showed some tenacity, resilience and toughness that coach Kyle Fulk hasn't always seen from his boys high school basketball team, in Friday's battle with conference rival Southeastern.
That fourth-quarter fight earned the Rams a 51-48 win over the visiting Trojans, Jan. 25 in the Gary Bradds Memorial Gymnasium.
Greeneview could never quite muster more than a six-point lead through the first three quarters of play, and Southeastern was able to chip back to tie the game at 35 on a Charlie Bertemes steal just 25 seconds into the fourth quarter. Two Jacob Banion free throws gave the Trojans their first lead of the game with 6:51 left in the contest.
The Rams went on a 5-0 mini run, to jump back in front 42-37, thanks to a pair of scores by Cole Allen, including an old-fashioned three, and two Nix free throws. But again Southeastern battled back, this time tying the contest at 44-all with 1:52 left to play.
Nix wasn't done scoring, though. The senior guard scored on an inside drive with 1:11 left to put the Rams up 46-44. After Southeastern converted one of two free throws to pull within a point, Nix was fouled to set up a double-bonus situation at the Rams free-throw line on Greeneview's next possession downcourt. He hit one of two then, and hit his next four to give Greeneview the final 51-48 margin.
Allen led the Rams with 18 points, Gabe Caudill finished with 10 points, and Nix went 6-for-6 from the line and hit that driving score — all in the fourth quarter — to finish with eight.
With the win, Greeneview is now 6-10 overall, 4-8 in the Ohio Heritage Conference South.
Trojan junior Bryce Grim led all scorers with 19 points, Bertemes finished in double figures as well with 16.
Southeastern had a chance to at least tie the game late. Trojan coach John O'Laughlin called a timeout regardless of whether a Rams player made or missed his final free-throw try with 1.2 seconds left. The Rams player missed them both, but the head game official instructed the game clock operator to take 0.5 seconds off the clock to account for the time it took to snare the rebound.
Greeneview's Collin Wilson deflected the Southeastern inbounds pass and time then expired before the Trojans could get off a shot. The Southeastern loss knocks the Trojans out of a three-way tie for second in the OHC South with Greenon and Cedarville. Southeastern is now 7-8 overall, 6-6 in the division.
Greeneview has almost a week off before heading over to Springfield to take on Catholic Central for a 7:30 p.m. contest on Friday, Feb. 1 at CC's Jason Collier Gymnasium. Southeastern also returns to OHC play on Ground Hogs Day. They'll host Greenon that same night.

Samuel Kassow | Delivered in English.
As only one of three survivors of Emanuel Ringelblum's Oyneg Shabes archive in the Warsaw Ghetto, Rachel Auerbach dedicated the rest of her life to preserving Ringelblum's memory and defending the vital importance of survivor testimony. She was especially well suited for this role because of her remarkable talent as an observer of the Jewish everyday both before the war and in the Warsaw Ghetto. Auerbach straddled many cultural and regional boundaries. She was equally fluent in Polish and Yiddish. After the war she moved to Israel where she played a major role at Yad Vashem where for many years she headed the Division of Survivor Testimony.
Samuel Kassow is the Charles H. Northam Professor of History at Trinity College, and is recognized as one of the world's leading scholars on the Holocaust and the Jews of Poland. Kassow was born in 1946 in a DP-camp in Stuttgart, Germany and grew up speaking Yiddish. Kassow attended the London School of Economics and Princeton University where he earned a PhD in 1976 with a study about students and professors in Tsarist Russia. He is widely known for his 2007 book, Who Will Write Our History? Emanuel Ringelblum, the Warsaw Ghetto, and the Oyneg Shabes Archive (Indiana University Press). He was elected a Fellow of the American Academy for Jewish Research, has won numerous awards, and has lectured widely.

Q: explaination of steam script function i have downloaded a script file which downloads steam engine, dependencies and then install them. i am trying to understand what code is exactly doing. i have understood some part of it, but could not understand some functions. can someone explain me what these functions doing?
download() {
    local url="$1"
    local filename="$(basename "$url")"

    if [ ! -f "$filename" ]; then
        wget -c "$url" -O "$filename.part"
        mv "$filename.part" "$filename"
    fi
}

package() {
    local url="$1"
    local target="$2"

    download "$url"

    mkdir -p "$target"
    ar p "$(basename "$url")" data.tar.gz | tar xz -C "$target"
}

STEAM_DEB_URL="http://media.steampowered.com/client/installer/steam.deb"
UBUNTU_DEB_URL="http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/e/eglibc/libc6_2.15-0ubuntu10.2_i386.deb"

A: The download function takes a URL as its argument and stores it as a variable named url. The $(basename "$url") executes the command basename with the url variable as its argument and the value is return and stored into filename. Essentially it is trying to determine the filename portion of the url. So if your URL was www.example.com/foo.txt filename would only be equal to foo.txt The if block tries to see if the file already exists in your current working directory. If it does not then it uses curl to download it.
The package function takes two arguments a url and a target. The url passed to the download function already described. After the file is downloaded it creates the target directory and extracts the contents of what was downloaded.
As the file that was downloaded is in a .deb format it first has to use the "ar" command. The .deb file format always a file inside it called data.tar.gz which is the "meat" of the package. As the data.tar.gz file is also compressed it needs to be extracted as well. Tar handles that but first it changes to the target directory so that the files end up in the right spot.

At present, intelligent LED street lights with multiple functions can monitor traffic and public safety, display public information, and have another role in the development of smart cities: 5G base station equipment can be installed on street lamp posts.
As a typical European smart city, Barcelona has been moving in this direction since 2008. The arrival of the Internet of Things era has also witnessed the implementation of smart city plans in many Asian cities, including U-City in South Korea, i-Japan in Japan, MSC (Multimedia Super Corridor) in Malaysia, Smart Nation in Singapore, and Smart Taiwan in Taiwan. .
In the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" (2011-2015), China began to encourage the establishment of smart management systems in major cities. The "13th Five-Year Plan" stated that it should promote the healthy development of smart cities.
The use of high frequency millimeter waves enables fast 5G data transmission with limited transmission distance. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a high-density base station to achieve sufficient coverage. At this time, it is the LED intelligent street lamp—the essential lamp for the smart city, which has attracted people's attention. They are evenly distributed at high density in all major cities and are suitable for deploying 5G and IoT networks.
Streetlights are deployed at intervals of 20-30 meters, while the spacing between 5G base stations is 100-200 meters, which means that there is great flexibility in installing 5G base station equipment on the lamp post. Equally important, streetlights are owned by local governments, making it easier for 5G telecom operators to negotiate such installations.
Taipei, Taiwan plans to replace 12,600 street lights in five regions with smart LED street lights in 2019 and complete the replacement of more than 110,000 street lights in the city within three years.
China's goal is to launch 5G commercial operations by 2020. Local governments, especially the eastern and southern regions of China, are actively building 5G networks in designated areas through the establishment of smart LED street lights. In January 2019, there were at least 10 intelligent LED street lamp procurement projects in China.
However, it is very difficult to install smart LED street lights on a large scale in a short period of time because the hardware and software costs of these lamps are very high. Installing about 240,000 smart LED street lights with multiple sensing systems in Shenzhen is estimated to cost 50 billion yuan ($7.46 billion).
In fact, 4G LTE technology equipped with NB-IoT network can also be used for environmental and traffic monitoring, security monitoring and public information display through intelligent LED street lights, and the advantage of using 5G network is faster image transmission.
The development of a smart city may not necessarily depend on the development of 5G. However, 5G will replace 4G sooner or later, so governments that want to implement smart cities need to find a way to achieve their goals based on 5G technology.
It may be economically feasible to deploy smart LED street lights based on 5G connections via PPP (Public Private Partnership) or PFI (Private Finance Program). In either case, the private partner should be a large, well-funded company that can use the source of income as the initial one-time return on investment and can continue for a long time.

It borders on Shakespearean as the story twists into its darker bends, but the subject of failed expectation and the theme of how one might become the architect of the life they want is personal and well contained.
You Will Be My Son focuses on Paul Marseul (Niels Arestrup) and the strained relationship with his somewhat weak willed son Martin (Lorant Deutsch), who works with him on their family estate. Paul's passion for wine is profound and profuse. This suffusion of wine loving/discussing/dissecting/tasting/obsessing is a thread throughout the film. Legrand never forgets to foreground that red nectar and its importance to character. Wine is the lens of Paul's understanding of the world, which is why it may be so skewed. His vineyard is an extension of his person, but this passion and care for grapes has nothing to do with how he treats his son or other people. Martin, though loyal, doesn't posses the enigmatic quality of oneness with the land, the process of winemaking, or the palate necessary to enjoy and describe wine's complexities that his father has. In fact Paul is downright condescending and insulting to his son for missing whatever mark he has internally set up for him. Martin however may one day succeed Paul as the heir to the vineyard. Paul's longtime manager Francois is diagnosed with cancer at this time and when his son Philip, also in the wine business, returns from California, it presents an opportunity that is both timely and unique. Paul's intentions prove Machiavellian as he tries to design a circumstance in which he can have the son he always wanted and a business partner to replace his ailing Manager. What now the cost of his machinations?
The polish of the picture, while serving the aesthetic of the upper echelon who populate the film, is ultimately its detractor. Its sheen and glide has an adverse effect on what makes the narrative compelling. By overstating with the camera, Legrand makes this ultimately insular film seem unable to fill that grand space to the fullest, or to live up to the expectations that the aesthetic is setting up…almost that of a thriller. A more imposing fixated camera and cropped framing might have made this feud more potent (then again, maybe this is Legrand's way to form fit the function of the character's inability to meet expectations that are improperly set?). There are also a few moments where the score takes on the urgency of, again, a posh thriller (brief as they are) and it sits just as uneasily. Fortunately the rest of the score is as minimal and pointed as can be. The performances are honed throughout and are the heart of the picture. It almost makes me think this might make a better play than a film.
You Will Be My Son is now playing at the Ritz Five.

A Framework for Acceptance and Implementation of Global Data Privacy and Security Policies by States (A Case Study of Sri Lanka and United Kingdom)
posted on 2022-10-28, 11:52 authored by Vibhushinie Bentototahewa
The existing data protection laws are undergoing a step-by-step process of reviewing, considering, and scrutinising by the law makers and state governments across the regions where existing legislation is believed inadequate. Therefore, the aim should be to reach a consensus amongst like-minded nations to find fundamental discrepancies and variables, resolve contentious/inhibiting factors, with a view to producing proposals to fill the lapses in the law, and conform to a consolidated conceptually meaningful policy framework for sharing with other nations.
The main contribution of this research is to develop a Policy Acceptance Model that is meant to be an influencing tool and a guide to develop a data privacy, and security policy. From the purpose angle, it will be an influencing tool for decision making and developing data protection mechanisms and, could be adapted by the states for developing national and regional data protection mechanisms of their own. Cyberspace is not country-specific, not limited to a region or a continent; it belongs to the global community. Therefore, this model is also meant to help develop global level data protection mechanism. Also, the researcher has added new knowledge to the current literature through her publications. These publications addressed contemporary issues such as Huawei row, WhatsApp privacy issue and privacy and security issues associated with COVID-19.

Discussion in 'The Unscripted Entrepreneurial Mind' started by Santi Merino, Feb 1, 2019.
Do you plan you days?
I start this thread to tell you about a tool which I've used for a "long" time (long enough for having tested it correctly) and I wanted to share it with you so you can take advantage of it if you want to.
I have to say that this tool isn't a revolutionary thing at all, but implemented correctly can revolutionize how you use your time, namely your life.
Always Plan Tomorrow Today, yes, I refer to it like AP2T because it's easy (and cool in my opinion).
This tool is very powerful because it brings you something very important; time. Using this tool, you are "investing" about 10 minutes today to get back hours tomorrow.
If you know you aren't making the most of your days and you feel bad about it.
If you don't want to waste a lot of time thinking what to do at every moment.
If you want to go to bed more relaxed and have a better sleep.
If you want to be more productive.
If you want to be more organized.
It's very easy to plan the next day every day, the "hard" thing here is to have the willpower of doing it every day and above all, stick to it to accomplish your daily goals.
Grab a notebook/diary and at the end of the day think about the things you have to do tomorrow, including meals, exercise, etc.
Then, you have to write the time you start that activity and right down, the next one carrying out the same procedure. The time you start the next thing is the time you finish the previous one.
NOTE: Of course, your daily goals have to be aligned with your weekly-monthly-yearly goals.
For the people who have never planned his day before it's normal you don't know how long take some activities, don't worry, only allocate the time you want to expend in each activity (and you think it's enough but not so comfortable) and as the days go by, adjust your schedule.
For making this clear, I'm attaching a photo of the diary I use and an example of a random page of a day planned so you can see how I do it.
Since the year started I've been using a diary, but it's not necessary, I used to do it in a normal small notebook.
I'm from Spain so the text is in Spanish, but I'm translating it beneath the pictures.
I plan only since 15:00 as I'm at the school the whole morning so it doesn't make sense to plan anything at that time.
My routine isn't always like this (although very similar), but I will plan every day depending on my priorities.
Of course, I have not invented this, but I have learned it from different successful people and put together the best practices based on my experience.
Probably lots of you already implement/have implemented this before, but I wanted to write about this for people who have never thought about doing it or tested it.
Did you already use this? How do you implement it? Any recommendations? I'm reading all of you!
*Sorry if some parts of this text aren't totally correct/ they don't make sense; my English isn't very advanced yet, but I'm trying to improve every day, sorry for the inconvenience.
Jeff Noel, The Abundant Man, RazorCut and 8 others like this.
And I have a question, the day is you in shape?
Because I think you sleep very tart?
Diallo Mamadou and Santi Merino like this.
Hi Diallo, it's great, isn't it? Doing this has helped me a lot!
I know sometimes it's difficult to plan a day if you aren't sure about what you are going to do, but I think it's better to have a plan an achieve what you can rather than not planning anything. In case your days are so unpredictable then I'll recommend you to do something simpler, for example, writing down three things you must achieve the next day. It's not like planning the day but at least you will achieve little goals every day.
Regarding this, yes, I keep perfect the whole day. Here in Spain, we go to bed so late (compared with the rest of Europe). But I sleep 8 hours, I think that's ok. I go to bed at 11 pm and wake up at 7 am, so, no problem.
By the way, I recently read about "My Fastlane Daily" sheets which you can get in the link: (100 Days) The Millionaire TO DO List and I think this tool is very compatible with planning your days.
One for goals and the other for time.
Andrew Jones, .B. and Diallo Mamadou like this.
By the way, I recently read about "My Fastlane Daily" sheets which you can get in the link: (120 Days) The Millionaire TO DO List and I think this tool is very compatible with planning your days.
Il like this plan, I will buy one of this plan as soon as possible.
I plan my day; it's important. I like to visualise myself doing the things I have planned the night before the next day.
Bekit and Santi Merino like this.
Agreed: simple tool and efficient.
The productivity journal from Intelligent Change was great for me to stay on track too.
M11105 and Santi Merino like this.
I dont see the point of micro managing your hole day, its very time intensive and if things take longer to do or if things come up your hole "schedule" gets f*cked up.
I just plan 1 to max 3 things that need to be done today and if iv completed them I look at my trello overview for the next task that needs to be done.
This way you dont waste time over planning everything and you stay flexible.
If you plan more things you will just clog your day up and wont be able to focus on what really matters.
MustImprove, richRich, therealmark and 2 others like this.
Why don't u do it one mobile phone or the internet?
Thank you, very interesting. I'm going to try it!
Hi man, yeah maybe sometimes it can be uncomfortable if things come up, but the point here is not losing time, so if you have to stop doing something to do something more important that's ok, the goal is never to stop doing things and wonder "What should I do now..?" and things like that. Besides, it is not 'normal' that things came up if you have a routine.
Anyway, I've seen people who are more comfortable doing what you said, only planning the 1 to 3 things they have to do and they work perfectly that way. It's up to you and your personality and lifestyle.
In my case, putting 10 minutes in planning will save me some hours the next day.
Thank you for your answer and your recommendation.
Great, I'll take a look at it.
Well, you can do it on your phone if you prefer it, in my case I do it in a notebook because I turn my phone off a while before I go to bed (the time when I do plan the next day) and I turn it on a while after I wake up, also I let it away while I'm working or whatever so I prefer to have the planning separated from the phone for eliminating distraction.
The thing is is you do as you say and delegate multiple tasks throughout the day and follow your sedule when you stop a task before its completed to do a diffrent task you waste so much time and energy.
They have done studys that have shown that people at work that are distracted or interupted with there work need up to 30 minute to get back to their task.
.B. and Santi Merino like this.
You are right, but for this reason, I put the time I need in every task. Through practice, analysis and experience in planning your days (I'm talking about 1-2 weeks, not years) you can learn the time that each task takes. Maybe sometimes you have to plan the whole day only doing one thing, where the other things you plan are only eating hours or something like this, no problem with that. But this is never my case at this moment.
And indeed the setup of Trello from LightHouse is pretty cool. And TRello syncs with the phone.
I do it Andy Frisella style. I plan 5 things that will move me forward and to them + my daily habits for which I use habitica, and whatever comes up as necessary to do. It is really variation of the same technique but I might try this for a change to see is there any improvement. Thanks for the post. Good stuff.
richRich, Santi Merino and .B. like this.
I ... daily habits for which I use habitica, .
I will give that app a try.
Very nice. The most important thing is finding what works for you.
On my end, I do plan my days. Well, sort of.
- the most important outcome of the day. I block time to do it.
- a maximum of three other tasks that would make a significant difference. Depending on how my agenda looks like (all my appointments are on it), I might block time for that. If not, when I have time, I tackle those tasks.
That's it. I don't aim to be productive and efficient every min possible. My philosophy is to identify the big rocks and knock them off.
Is it better than habitica?

Lenny The Lion
Date: 26th Jan 2018 @ 2:15pm
We were so excited when we got told Lenny the Lion was coming from our home football team Shrewsbury Town football club. We were watching a live stream from Liverpool football club stadium. When Lenny walked through our class door we were amazed it was one of the greatest feelings in the world. Lenny came in to do a special Super Movers session with us, when we were watching the video we saw other brilliant mascots. It was all about maths and how to learn about times tables and other things. Shrewsbury Town chose Clive from 20 different schools for Lenny to visit.

Jacksboro plans to throw it more with Lando Belcher at QB
Zach Duncan
Everybody knows Jacksboro's identity since Brannon Rodgers took over the football program.
The Tigers are going to play physically up front, preferring to pound the ball down your throat. And they'll play fast on defense, creating chaos with their schemes.
Then they'll throw the ball a decent amount to take advantage of their strong-armed quarterback…. Wait what?
After getting his feet wet at the end of his freshman season, Lando Belcher returns as Jacksboro's starting signal-caller. His skill set provides the Tigers with an opportunity to vary from their traditional wing-T attack.
"That's the story line this year is we're going to be quite a bit different," Rodgers said. "Lando is an incredibly skilled passer. We don't know what exactly he can do yet, but we're going to find out."
Belcher's varsity debut against Comanche in Week 10 last season was a success as the coach's kid threw three TD passes in a 27-14 win. He finished the year completing 29 of 49 passes for 417 yards, six touchdowns and zero interceptions.
Rodgers was run-dominant during his time leading Crosbyton to 72 wins in seven years, but he did recall having a strong passer about a decade ago named Matthew Schovajsa who caused Rodgers to throw the ball more.
Before he was called up, Belcher had led Jacksboro's junior varsity to an undefeated record running a more wide-open offense. A lot of the Tigers he threw to will be playing under the Friday night lights now.
"We're throwing and running routes better than we have in the past," Rodgers said. "As a play caller, if something is going good, we'll continue that path. I feel good about the run game. If the passing attack comes along, we'll be harder to defend because of it."
Rodgers believes his skill kids will be a strength even through they're young. Kaleem Howard earned a bronze medal in the 300 hurdles at the Region I-3A Meet as a freshman. Peyton Kinman is another sophomore who gained valuable varsity experience in baseball and track last spring.
But the best of the sophomores is Belcher, who'll look to keep the family name in the headlines after his cousins Cy and Ethan won a state title with Windthorst last year.
"He's always thrown the ball really well, but now he's put on more weight," Rodgers said. "Last year it was draping off him, but this year he's fitting into his jersey."
Expect Jacksboro to still run the ball up and try to whip you at the line of scrimmage. But also expect the Tigers to fit into their new passing scheme, too.
Left tackle Camron Reeves (6-4, 330) leads the offensive linemen returning, and that unit will have plenty of size with Joseph Dunn and Devon Green also weighing over 320 pounds.
Baylor Laake shifts from fullback to tailback and should carry the ball more. Gage Owen and Christian Wiggins are among the many who'll get touches in the backfield.
The strength of Jacksboro's defense will be in the secondary with senior Cody Frie and junior Paul Shackleford returning at safety.
"Having some depth in the secondary is going to help a lot," Rodgers said. "We had a young secondary last year in some ways, so with them returning and good athletes at cornerback, I feel pretty good about those guys."
Wiggins will be an impact player as he moves to outside linebacker, while Reeves and Dunn will anchor the defensive line.
Jacksboro enters this season on a five-year playoff streak, which is the second-longest in program history. The longest is eight years and was achieved from 1998-2005.
Jacksboro Tigers
Head Coach: Brannon Rodgers (fifth year)
Last year's record: 6-5
Returning starters: 5 offense, 5 defense
Base offense/defense: Wing-T/4-2-5
Last playoff appearance: 2020 (Lost to Henrietta in bi-district)
Last district title: 2020
Aug. 27 at Breckenridge 7:30 p.m.
Sept. 3 vs. Boyd 7:30 p.m.
Sept. 17 vs. City View (H) 7:30 p.m.
Sept. 24 vs. Wellington (Frederick) 7 p.m.
Oct. 8 vs. Merkel* 7 p.m.

Oct. 22 vs. Eastland* 7 p.m.
Oct. 29 at Comanche* 7 p.m.
Nov. 5 vs. Millsap* 7 p.m.
PLAYER TO WATCH: OL/DL Camron Reeves (Sr.) – Stability in the trenches is a Jacksboro staple under Rodgers, who'll have Reeves lead the unit.
GAME TO WATCH: Oct. 22 vs. Eastland – The Tigers will be tested plentily in non-district, but this 6-3A home matchup has all the makings of a game that could determine the district champ.

From Bookshelf to Box Office in 2015
Over the last few years, some of our favourite movies have taken their stories from books. In 2014 alone we were treated to some absolute delights, including film adaptations of Gone Girl, Before I Go To Sleep and The Keeper of Lost Causes. We love it when one of our favourite books is adapted into a brilliant, successful film – so on that note, we thought we'd share with you some of the books we're most excited to see hit the big screen this year.
Here are eight books taking the thrilling journey from bookshelf to box office in 2015.
The Woman in Black: The Angel of Death
A spooky offering here, adapted from Martyn Waites's sequel to Susan Hill's The Woman in Black and based on an original idea by Susan Hill herself. Set during World War Two, the story follows a teacher as she and a group of children are evacuated from London to Eel Marsh House. However, it soon becomes apparent that there is someone else in the house – someone who is far deadlier than any number of German bombs. Watch the trailer here.
Released: January 1
Based on a true story, this biographical drama follows brothers and Olympic wrestling champions Mark and Dave Schultz (Channing Tatum and Mark Ruffalo) and their relationship with John E. du Pont, their schizophrenic wrestling coach. On 22nd January 1996, du Pont shot Dave Schultz in the back at the infamous Foxcatcher Farm, sparking a two day siege. A tale of murder, madness and the quest for Olympic gold.
Mortdecai
Adapted from the books by Kyril Bonfiglioli, Mortdecai introduces us to portly art dealer and seasoned epicurean Charlie Mortdecai, played by Johnny Depp. When Mortdecai comes into possesion of a stolen Goya, the disappearance of which is causing a diplomatic ruction between Spain and its allies, he finds himself in great need of his thuggish manservant to keep various governments and secret organisations at bay. With a great supporting cast including Ewan McGregor, Gwyneth Paltrow and Jeff Goldblum, this is one film that promises to please. Watch the trailer here.
Released: January 23
Inherent Vice, starring Joaquin Phoenix and Josh Brolin, has been adapted from the Thomas Pynchon novel of the same name. Set in 1970's Los Angeles, it tells the story of Larry "Doc" Sportello who investigates when his ex-girlfriend shows up with a story about a plot to kidnap her billionaire land developer boyfriend. Doc soon finds himself caught up in a bizarre tangle of motives and passions involving surfers, hustlers, dopers and rockers, a murderous loan shark, a tenor sax player working undercover, an ex-con with a swastika tattoo, and a mysterious entity known as the Golden Fang.
Released:: January 30
This is the highly anticipated adaptation of the novel by Tom Rob Smith and stars Gary Oldman and Tom Hardy. Officer Leo Demidov believes he's building a perfect society. But after witnessing the interrogation of an innocent man his loyalty begins to waver, and when ordered to investigate his own wife, Raisa, Leo is forced to choose where his heart truly lies. Denounced by his enemies and exiled from home, Leo must risk everything to find a criminal that the Soviet State won't admit even exists – and soon discovers the danger isn't from the killer he is trying to catch, but from the country he is trying to protect.
Released: February 20
Our Kind of Traitor
Starring Ewan McGregor, Damian Lewis, Stellan Skarsgård and Naomie Harris, Our Kind of Traitor is adapted from the spy thriller by John le Carré. While on holiday in Antigua, Perry and Gail become embroiled with a Russian oligarch called Dima. Dima believes Perry is a British spy, and wants him to inform British intelligence about his criminal activities, in exchange for protection for himself and his family. This propels the young lovers on a tortuous journey through Paris to a safe house in the Swiss Alps, to the murkiest cloisters of the City of London and its unholy alliance with Britain's Intelligence Establishment.
Released: April 24
After the incredible literary and cinematic success of Gone Girl, we'll be receiving a second dose of Gillian Flynn in cinemas with the adaptation of her second novel, Dark Places. Libby Day, played by Charlize Theron, was just seven years old when her older brother massacred her family while she hid in a cupboard. Her evidence helped put him away. But now, twenty years on, when confronted by a secret society obsessed with solving notorious crimes, Libby is forced to confront the past and uncover the truth about what happened that day.
Released: TBA
We can't wait for more news about the adaptation of Sharon Bolton's Sacrifice! Starring Radha Mitchell, Rupert Graves and David Robb, the story revolves around consultant surgeon Tora Hamilton who has moved to remote Shetland to be with her husband. In the peat soil near her new home she uncovers a perfectly preserved woman's body. Runic symbols are carved into her skin. Her heart has been cut out. But as Tora begins to ask questions around the island, she receives her first threat. Here at Dead Good, we love Sharon's writing and are so excited to see her story on the big screen!
What book would you most like to see adapted into a movie? Which of these are you most excited to see? Let us know in the comments below!

Atherosclerosis occurs when normally unobstructed arteries become blocked by plaque. Made up of calcium, cholesterol, and fibrous tissue, plaque causes the arteries to narrow and harden. As a result, less blood flows to the legs and the legs do not receive the oxygen that they need. It's possible to feel unaffected and still suffer from leg artery disease, which can cause dangerous complications down the road, including limb loss, heart attack, and stroke. As experts in atherosclerosis and PAD treatment, Advanced Vascular Surgery is well-positioned to assist you with both diagnosis and treatment. In today's post, we're going to look at some of the symptoms of atherosclerosis and discuss a few of the treatment options.
The first symptoms that you experience will likely be pain, cramping, or fatigue in your lower body. These symptoms will become especially prevalent when performing strenuous exercise. Called "intermittent claudication," the pain will usually subside when you rest. As the atherosclerosis progresses, your symptoms may worsen, including severe pain, numbness, and coldness in your limbs. If treatment is not sought, the muscles in your legs may weaken and gangrene may occur.
There are a number of treatment options for atherosclerosis, including lifestyle changes, medications, and surgery. Other options include angioplasty and stenting, as well as an atherectomy. Depending on the progression of the disease and your current symptoms, your doctor will recommend the best treatment option for you.
At Advanced Vascular Surgery, we are the area's leading PAD treatment specialists. With years of experience and team of dedicated, educated professionals, we have over 22 years of combined board-certified mid-level provider experience. If you're concerned about peripheral artery disease or atherosclerosis, we encourage you to reach out to us today, discuss your experience, and learn how we can help.


When you entrust your prescription to an online company you may be in danger of having prescriptions that are not made properly. When you are wearing glasses that do not fit well or worse, do not have the proper lenses you can put strain on your eyes which can lead to everything from headaches to double vision.
Many optometrists fear that online companies are not using the same safety checks and balances of more reputable brick and mortar shops. This can lead to inaccuracies in your lenses and the prescription they provide through online eye exams.
There are also some scary statistics regarding the quality and accuracy of online cheap eyeglasses. The School of Optometry at Université de Montréal found that an exam that looked at 16 frames and 32 lenses purchased on line showed six lenses did not match the prescription and 13 of the 16 frames did not fit properly.
Another study found that 28.6 per cent of cheap glasses purchased online contained at least one lens that was not up to the standards during an optical analysis. This is compared to only 2 percent of traditional dispensing methods.
In Canada you do not require the submission of a physical prescription which means some people are tempted to play doctor and alter the numbers of their last prescription instead of seeking a new eye exam. Many people think that if they can't see they just need stronger lenses. This of course leads to disaster with inaccurate lenses that do not correct eye sight effectively.
There is also concern that lenses are not being customized but instead being bought in bulk.
As you can see buying cheap glasses online is risky business. Your eyesight is one of your most precious assets. Taking chances with your vision by ordering poor quality frames and lenses can lead to further sight and health issues.

Samsung Galaxy S Advance hits Europe in February
While there's no firm UK date yet, Samsung have confirmed that the Galaxy S Advance will arrive in Europe next month. With a 4-inch super AMOLED screen, 5-megapixel camera and Android 2.3 Gingerbread installed the Galaxy S Advance isn't quite a Galaxy Nexus beater.
The Samsung Galaxy S Advance may have a dual-core processor but it only runs at 1Ghz although the 768MB of RAM is comparable to many high-end handsets. The Galaxy S Advance will come in both 8GB and 16GB flavours although the microSD slot will allow you up to 32GB of storage.
The Galaxy S Advance resembles the Galaxy S II in both looks and hardware specs although the overall inferiority of the Samsung s Advance should mean it will be cheaper than its bigger brother. While the Galaxy S Advance will certainly cost more than the Galaxy Ace Plus it should still come in at a price which makes it a godo choice for anyone after a mid-budget Android handset.

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, born in 1977 in Enugu, is one of Nigeria's most prominent young authors. Thanks to her hard work, she gained a scholarship at Dexler University in Philadelphia, USA, where she studied communications and political science. She also has a degree in creative writing and African studies, the latter from the prestigious Yale University. In the present, she travels between the USA and Nigeria, teaching writing workshops and promoting the importance of literature.
Adichie's first book, Purple Hibiscus, was written in 2003 and won several literary awards. Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie has continued her literary career with three more novels so far, all of them receiving enthusiastic general acclaim. Her recent novel, Americanah, charmed the famous Oscar-awarded actress Lupita Nyong'o so much that she purchased the pre-emptive rights for adapting Americanah on screen.
Apart from being an acclaimed scholar and writer, Adichie is also a great orator. She gave two TED Talks: "The Danger of a Single Story" deals with the topic of stereotypization and the title of her second talk, "We Should All Be Feminists", speaks for itself. The topics of her talks also reflect the main themes of her novels – Adichie carefully observes the mechanisms of society, being it Nigerian or American, that shape the lives of individuals, especially women. And the same force and ardour she displays at her talks also drive her novels and enhance their message of equality and search for understanding.
The story of Americanah starts with Ifemelu, a Nigerian woman living in the United States, going to the hairdresser's to have her hair done into braids. This simple enough scene foreshadows one of the main topics of the novel – the clash of different cultures, but also of social classes. The reader learns that Ifemelu is a successful independent blogger with university education, who managed to relocate herself from her native Nigera to the United States and who could consider herself to be a member of the higher class of Nigerian immigrants, unlike the hairdressers whom she encounters. But things have not always been so bright for Ifemelu. Merging the stories from Ifemelu's past and present, Adichie shows that Ifemelu's success and independence came only after years of hard work – and they came with a price. The price was her relationship with Obinze, the leading male character of the novel.
Once, back in Nigeria, Ifemelu and Obinze were partners in every sense of the word – intellectually equal, sharing the same worldviews, and being madly in love. But the inhospitableness of the developing Nigeria in the late 1990s made them long for more than just the local university suffering under the repression of the military government regime. Both Ifemelu and Obinze tried to gain a scholarship abroad – and only Ifemelu succeeded. And in the US, being treated as an incompetent immigrant and lacking opportunities to provide for herself, Ifemelu stopped sharing her feelings with Obinze, which put the stop to their relationship. From that moment on, nothing has ever been the same.
Even thought the focus on Ifemelu and Obinze's relationship might suggest Americanah is just an empty love story, it is not the case. Acknowledging the power of love and its importance in the life of an individual, Adichie uses the love story as a backdrop for a close observation of racial, cultural and class clashes in the relationship of Nigeria and the western world. She uses several different perspectives from which she describes the process of assimilation and, in some cases, even the strive for livelihood. First of all, the reader sees the reality of the immigrant through the experience of young Ifemelu who was just accepted to American university. Her Nigerian education is treated as irrelevant and she is constantly being seen as "the other" – by the teachers, by her classmates, her flatmates and later by her boyfriend as well.
The immigrant experience is so strong for Ifemelu that she decides to ventilate it through writing and establishes a blog where she shares her observations about immigrant life in the USA. This feature makes Americanah quite a unique novel, providing the reader not only with extracts from the blogposts, but Adichie, under the name of Ifemelu, continues to write the blog in real life, adding articles even after publishing Americanah. The blogposts resemble mini-essays and they are inspired by Ifemelu's everyday life in the USA. They are written non-apologetically, expressing strong opinions and exposing many not only racist, but purely ridiculous things immigrants in the USA have to deal with on a daily basis.
Obinze, on the other hand, has a very different experience as an immigrant. After not being admitted to American university, he illegally immigrates to the Great Britain. His experience is even harsher than Ifemelu's in the USA. He has to step down to the lowest levels of human existence and forget about his aspirations and often even about his dignity. The comparison of the two immigrant experiences shows in how many different ways immigrants are being humiliated and exploited by the dominant culture.
In the end, Ifemelu and Obinze meet again in contemporary Nigeria. But this is not an invitation for Adichie to finish off her novel with a fairy-tale ending, claiming that everything gets alright back home. On the other hand, she is still the same sharp critic and does not idealize Nigeria at all. She poignantly points out the problems with the Nigerian attempt of establishing democracy, acclaiming the achievements, but also acknowledging the many ongoing issues that have not yet been resolved. Similarly to the tone of the whole novel, the end of Americanah is bittersweet – showing that progress is possible, but that the hard work of creating inclusive, globally accepting democratic societies, being it in Nigeria, the USA, Great Britain or anywhere else in the world, is by no means finished.
As mentioned in the opening of this review, Americanah was warmly received by the general readership. The publication rights were sold for more than 20 countries, the Czech Republic being one of them – Americanah will be published in 2015 by Host publishing house. But this complex novel also gained important critical acclaim – it was awarded the National Book Critics Circle Award for Fiction and also The Chicago Tribune 2013 Heartland Prize for Fiction. With the film adaptation ahead, it is for sure that Americanah will continue to be in the centre attention, promoting its values among the worldwide audience.

Enjoy Fiesta, kindness and life!
Those butterflies in your stomach when a new adventure spreads ahead of you? Being the only tourist in a place full of local people and yet fell like home? Visiting a monument and get to know all the secrets its stones bear? Tasting new flavors of recipes that have gone down generation to generation? Meeting people on the way that you will later call friends?
What we like the most about travelling is to make these experiences possible for you!
We arrange tailor-made trips to Spain, Morocco and Portugal where you will find their essence through gastronomy, culture, history, people, live and laughter!
Watching our travelers enjoy their perfect holiday is our best reward.
We really love reading the letters they send us when they are back home.


So you do your workouts, eat lean protein and lots of veggies, moderate your alcohol intake, and still don't feel like you're really improving.
Those are all valid reasons, but what if I say there's a third crucial element to building a strong body? Turns out it's not just all about exercise and nutrition.
As with most things in life, mindset is EVERYTHING.
Let's be honest here for a second, shall we? Working out is HARD. Getting stronger, fitter and healthier isn't easy. It requires commitment, dedication and persistence. It asks for a willingness to push yourself beyond your limits.
If someone ever tells you otherwise, they're lying. There is no shortcut to a strong, fit and healthy bod. You need to do the heavy lifting (pardon the pun).
Building a strong body starts with a strong mind.
Because… you absolutely, 100% can do anything if you set your mind to it. Our minds are so incredibly powerful. When we believe in ourselves and in our abilities, we can tap into a hidden strength. It can make us do things we didn't think possible.
Believing in yourself is the holy grail of mental strength. It's where it all starts. If you don't believe in yourself and tell yourself that you can't do this (whatever 'this' may be), you might as well pack your bags and go home.
Just to be clear though: telling yourself you can isn't the same as telling yourself you'll smash it out of the park. The former is about the effort, the latter about the outcome. You always want to focus on the effort. Why? Well, while there's no doubt that your efforts impact the outcome, but the outcome is ultimately influenced by a lot of others things too, some of which you very likely have zero control over.
Telling yourself you can means that you know you can do this, that you have what it takes to put in the effort required. Even though your heart's pounding in your chest, you know you can deliver that next punch or jab. You know you can put in the work.
No one gets fit by staying in their comfort zone. If you want to get stronger, fitter and healthier, it's supposed to feel tough and challenging. It's that simple. Know that when the going gets tough, you are doing good, so don't give up just because it's hard.
So during your next training session, aim to feel uncomfortable. Know that when the going gets tough, you are doing good, so don't give up just because it's hard. Be comfortable with being uncomfortable.
Aim to push yourself and explore your boundaries. I use the word 'explore' here intentionally as it's important to listen to what your body is telling you. There's a difference between pushing yourself to keep on going when your mind is telling you to stop and pushing yourself to keep on going when your knee is killing you. Don't be stubborn and injure yourself.
Imagine the following: you're in the middle of a 60 minute workout and you are already exhausted. You look at the clock and see you still have 35 minutes to go. Next thing you know, the instructor tells you to do 2 minutes of burpees as fast as you can.
If you're like most people, I'm guessing that whatever you're thinking is not helping you to boost your performance and get through your workout.
Most of us tend to struggle and give up if we allow our minds to think about how hard we've already worked and how much longer we need to go for. Our mind is not our best friend here.
Making it your best friend again is fortunately quite simple: focus on the present. Focus on the one move you need to do this second. And then this second. Then this one. And so on. You get the idea.
If you stay present with what you're doing and focus all our energy on that, your mind won't have a chance to get in between and tell you to quit.
Give these a go during your next workout and let us know how you got on! If you want to work more on building a stronger mindset you should check out our 4 week Champion Me program, which will help you do exactly that! To give it a go sign up for a FREE TRIAL today.

Lionel Messi post shows true feelings towards Cristiano Ronaldo after Saudi friendly
Naomi Spencer
Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo renewed their rivalry as PSG headed to Saudi Arabia for a friendly with both men getting on the scoresheet in a highly-entertaining clash.
Lionel Messi highlighted his affection for Cristiano Ronaldo by posting footage of them hugging on his Instagram story.
The rivals, who have dominated football's individual accolades for more than a decade, are regarded as among the best players of all time.
They shared the pitch for what could be the final time this week as PSG travelled to the Middle East for a friendly against a Saudi-based team.
Messi and Ronaldo's drive to be the best has led to a healthy rivalry, that has always remained respectful.
Messi made clear his feelings about the Portuguese star as they shared an embrace before kick-off, which the World Cup winner then put on social media.
The Argentina hero would finish the friendly on top, scoring as the French outfit won a highly-entertaining encounter 5-4.
They played over half the match with ten men following Juan Bernat's red card, but still got the job done.
Messi opened the scoring after just three minutes.
Kylian Mbappe also got on the scoresheet whilst Ronaldo bagged a brace on what was his debut in Saudi Arabia.
The five-time Ballon d'Or winner has recently signed for Al-Nassr but his first game came as part of a unique XI.
His first goal came from the spot before he added another in first-half stoppage time.
The forward, playing against several former team-mates as well as his great rivals, made his thoughts known on social media. He wrote:
"So happy to be back on the pitch, and on the score sheet!! And nice to see some old friends!"
Ronaldo is expected to make his debut for his new club on Sunday against Ettifaq as Al-Nassr look to return to the top of the table.
PSG meanwhile are in the midst of their season, but are by no means running away with things in Ligue 1.
Their recent loss to Rennes allowed their rivals to close in.
PSG boss Christophe Galtier gave his assessment of their trip to Saudi:
"We saw lots of goals in a magnificent stadium with an incredible atmosphere.
This evening, we played in a lively stadium with lots of support.
Before talking about football, I wanted to say that I enjoyed the way that they honoured the numerous stars that were on the pitch.
