The Flu: What Parents Need to Know
Flu—short for influenza—is an illness caused by a respiratory virus. The flu can spread rapidly through communities, as the virus is passed person to person.
When someone with the flu coughs or sneezes, the influenza virus gets into the air. Then, people nearby, including children, can inhale it through the nose or mouth.
The virus also can be spread when people touch a contaminated hard surface, such as a door handle, and then put their hands or fingers in their nose or mouth, or rub their eyes.

Screen-Time Recommendations for Children Under Six
Parents wonder whether screen time is educational, distracting, or both. It's important to consider how and how much your little ones use screens.
Screens Are Everywhere: Everywhere you look, there's a screen with bright pictures and interesting noises—phones and computers, tablets and TVs. You may wonder if all this technology is good for babies and toddlers. Is it educational, distracting, or some combination of the two? It turns out that's a great question to ask.
Recommended Screen Time
The American Academy of Pediatrics has recommendations for children's use of "screen media." Here's what the Academy says is best for each age:
Birth through 18 months
Avoid all screen media—phones, tablets, TVs and computers. (It's OK to video chat with grandparents and far-away friends.)
18 months to 2 years
It is OK to introduce young children to high-quality children's media if you watch it with them and help them understand what they're seeing.
Limit screen use to one hour a day of high-quality programs designed for children. Watch with your children; explain what they're seeing and how it applies to the world around them.

How to Know When Teens Need Help
More than a year after the AAP joined with other organizations to declare a national emergency in youth mental health, many teens are still struggling. Still, parents may wonder whether the symptoms are part of the biological and social changes all young people go through on their way to adulthood, or something more. In this HealthyChildren.org article, adolescent medicine specialist Richard J. Chung, MD, FAAP, discusses signs to watch for in teens and when to seek professional support.
Building Blocks for Healthy Self-Esteem
Self-esteem plays a central role in a child's motivation and achievements in school, social relationships and their ability to bounce back from setbacks. Here are 12 building blocks of healthy self-esteem and how to help reinforce them in your child.
Anxiety disorders can be one of the hardest mental health issues to identify, but statistics show they can affect one in every eight children. The problem lies in that everyone experiences anxiety at times, but it is important to be aware of extreme cases that can eventually become debilitating over time.
Despite the difficulty, there are symptoms to look out for in your teenager, to clue you in if your child is suffering from a social anxiety disorder, or social phobia.
We've laid out five key indicators you should look out for if you are concerned for your teen's social and mental health. Read More
VESTIBULAR SYSTEM: Bring Back Playground Equipment with a Little Danger - Integrated Learning Strategies (ilslearningcorner.com)
When I was in elementary school, we had an awesome playground. We called it the big toy. It was this massive wooden fortress. One side had rows and rows of monkey bars and rings. We had bars we could swing around on and dangle upside down from. We had multiple slides, tires to climb, bridges to cross, fire poles, and it was the perfect set up for playing tag. I've since been back to that same school and the playground made me want to cry a little. I'm not even sure you could consider the current playground as being a quarter of the size of the old one. They have a few low slides, very little to climb, no rings, no bars to dangle from and tag is out of the question. It's very safe and also very boring.
So it's no surprise to me to see a rise in the reports of children with ADHD diagnoses and learning disabilities, and to hear kids proficient in school claiming it's boring. Playground free-play stimulates the vestibular system. The vestibular system, located in the inner ear, is responsible for balance and coordination. Carol Stock Kranowitz in the Out of Sync Child, says, "The vestibular system tells us where our heads and bodies are in relation to the surface of the earth. It tells us whether we are upright, upside down, or at a tilt; and whether objects are moving or motionless in relation to our body. It also informs us where we are going and how fast, and if we are in danger or in a relaxing place."

Aric Short Named Interim Law School Dean
08.03.2013 | By: Texas Wesleyan University
Aric Short, associate dean for academic affairs and professor of law, has been named interim dean of the law school.
"In making this appointment, I have been in close consultation with the provost and dean of faculties at Texas A&M University," President Frederick G. Slabach said. "Aric received overwhelming support for this appointment from the law school faculty and was the consensus choice of both Texas A&M and Texas Wesleyan."
In his 10 years at the law school, Short served most recently as associate dean for academic affairs, where he emphasized and expanded experiential learning and professionalism training. These efforts included developing a skills-based winter term, building new clinical partnerships with the Tarrant County District Attorney's Office and the Federal Aviation Administration, and helping implement an oral skills graduation requirement. Dean Short has been instrumental in the law school's transition to Texas A&M University, providing ongoing leadership for all matters related to the potential acquisition.
Prior to his administrative work, Short taught Property, Wills and Estates, and other property-related courses, and he was voted Professor of the Year six times. His research and scholarship have focused on housing-related discrimination and the litigation of human rights claims in U.S. courts. Dean Short has been active in local and national service, including serving on the ABA committee that recently revised distance learning standards for legal education. Before entering academia, Dean Short practiced law at Wilmer, Cutler & Pickering in Washington, D.C. and Vinson & Elkins in Austin, Texas.
Professor Maxine Harrington, a member of the faculty at Texas Wesleyan University School of Law since 2003, has been named associate dean for academic affairs. Prior to teaching, she had an accomplished career in both the public and private sectors. Upon graduation from law school, she served as law clerk to the Honorable George R. Gallagher of the District of Columbia Court of Appeals. Harrington was also in-house counsel for Saint Elizabeth's Hospital, which was part of the National Institute of Mental Health and the only civilian federal psychiatric hospital. After relocating to Texas, she entered private practice and became a named shareholder of Broude, Nelson & Harrington, P.C., where she was lead defense counsel in medical malpractice cases.

Toxic Metals Found in E-Cigarette Liquids
| Original Story From Johns Hopkins School of Medicine
Complete the form below and we will email you a PDF version of "Toxic Metals Found in E-Cigarette Liquids"
A study led by researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health found high levels of toxic metals in the liquid that creates the aerosol that e-cigarette users inhale when they vape. The study, believed to be the first to examine a cross-section of metals in multiple e-cigarette brands, analysed the liquid in five brands of first generation e-cigarettes for cadmium, chromium, lead, manganese and nickel.
The liquid is the component of e-cigarettes that, when heated, delivers ingredients, often including nicotine and flavours, to the user. In first generation e-cigarettes, the liquid is stored in the cartridge in close contact with the heating coil. The researchers found all five heavy metals – which can be toxic or carcinogenic when inhaled – in all five brands, though levels varied by brand. The main source of the metals, the researchers believe, is the coil that heats the liquid that creates the aerosol, which is often but erroneously referred to as vapor. The study did not look at the possible presence of metals in e-cigarette aerosol.
"We do not know if these levels are dangerous, but their presence is troubling and could mean that the metals end up in the aerosol that e-cigarette users inhale," says study leader Ana María Rule, PhD, MHS, an assistant scientist in the Bloomberg School's Department of Environmental Health and Engineering. "One of the things that is troubling is that the metals in e-cigarette coils, which heat the liquid that creates the aerosol, are toxic when inhaled, so perhaps regulators might want to consider an alternative material for e-cigarette heating coils."
The Food and Drug Administration began regulating e-cigarettes last year, but has not yet issued warnings. E-cigarettes may be less harmful than cigarettes for current smokers who switch completely to electronic cigarettes. A serious concern is the appeal of e-cigarettes to young people who have never smoked, since e-cigarettes might be habit forming, and might not be totally safe as emerging research shows that nicotine can adversely affect the developing adolescent brain. Last fall, then-U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy called e-cigarette use by young people a serious concern. E-cigarette use among high school students jumped 900 percent between 2011 and 2015.
For their study, the researchers selected five leading brands of so-called first generation e-cigarettes, which are referred to as cig-a-likes because they resemble traditional cigarettes. Newer ones look like small cassette recorders with a mouthpiece and the liquid is added from a dispenser prior to use. In contrast, the liquid in first generation e-cigs is stored in the cartridge together with the coil, which increases the liquid's exposure to the coil even in the absence of heating. The five brands are sold across the United States in big-box retail stores, convenience stores and gas stations, as well as online. Three of the five brands constituted 71 percent of total market share in 2015. If a brand came in more than one flavour, the researchers chose one flavour for consistency's sake.
To test the liquid for metal levels, the researchers extracted samples of the liquid; the liquid had not been heated by the coil prior to extraction. The liquid is a mixture of propylene glycol, glycerin, nicotine and flavourings. Because liquid volume varied considerably from brand to brand, the research team tested for concentrations of metals in micrograms per litre.
The five metals, cadmium, chromium, lead, manganese and nickel, were present in all five brands, with cadmium markedly lower than the other metals and with a considerable range of concentrations among the brands. For instance, one brand had a high concentration of all five metals. In that brand, the concentration of nickel, which is considered the most serious carcinogen when inhaled, was 22,600 micrograms per litre, 400 times that of the brand with the lowest concentration of nickel. In that same brand, the one with the highest concentration of all five metals, the concentration of manganese was 690 micrograms per litre, or 240 times that of the lowest concentration in yet another brand.
"It was striking, the varying degrees to which the metals were present in the liquid," Rule says. "This suggests that the FDA should consider regulating the quality control of e-cigarette devices along with the ingredients found in e-cigarette liquids."
For now, FDA regulations require e-cigarette makers to submit ingredient lists as well as information about potentially harmful ingredients, including four of the five metals analysed in this study, nickel, lead, chromium and cadmium. The FDA has yet to issue proposed regulations on e-cigarette labelling. In addition to the coil, the researchers believe some of the metals may come from the components of the e-cigarette device or the manufacturing process.

Toll road facts for kids
A high-speed toll booth on SR 417 near Orlando, Florida, United States
A toll collection area in the United Kingdom
A toll road (also called a turnpike, toll highway, or express toll route) is a road for which the user must pay a fee, or toll. Historically, and sometimes today, tolls are collected as a type of income for the use of government or landowner.
Modern tolls are a form of user tax which pays for the cost of road construction and maintenance without raising taxes on non-users. Investor's bonds necessary to pay for the construction and maintenance of the roads are issued and sold with the expectation that the bonds will be paid back over time by user tolls. After the bonds are paid off the road typically reverts to the government agency that owns the land it was built on and had authorized the construction. Access to toll roads are restricted to prevent non-payers from using the road.
Toll roads may be built to allow some users to travel faster, so relieving traffic congestion and speeding up traffic. These systems may be one restricted toll lane or more on an otherwise free road. All roads have to be paid for somehow, and so are never truly "free". Normally, road construction costs are paid for by the taxes on gasoline, diesel, or other fuel. Users of toll roads still pay these taxes and the tolls for using this particular road or lane.

Tolls are mentioned in Greek mythology where Charon the ferryman charged a toll to carry the dead across the rivers Acheron and Styx to Hades. If the soul paid a toll, Charon ferried it across the river. If not, it wandered between death and life for eternity.
Toll roads are at least 2700 years old, as tolls had to be paid by travellers using the Susa–Babylon highway under the regime of Ashurbanipal, in the seventh century BC. Aristotle and Pliny refer to tolls in Arabia and other parts of Asia. In India, before the 4th century BC, the Arthasastra notes the use of tolls. Germanic tribes charged tolls to travellers across mountain passes.
The need to build better roads than the existing ones was a reason for turnpikes. Turnpike trusts were established in England and Wales from about 1706. Turnpike trusts were set up by individual Acts of Parliament, with powers to collect road tolls Britain. At the peak, in the 1830s, over 1,000 trusts had about 30,000 miles (48,000 km) of turnpike road in England and Wales. They had almost 8,000 toll-gates. The trusts were responsible for keeping and improving most main roads in England and Wales. This helped distribute agriculture and industrial goods and kept prices low. The Turnpike trusts were gradually abolished starting in the 1870s. Most trusts improved existing roads, but some new ones, usually only short stretches of road, were also built. Thomas Telford's Holyhead road (now the A5 road) is exceptional: it was a long new road, built in the early 19th century with many toll booths along its length.

Your car is with you on your daily commute, takes you on weekend adventures and is your constant road trip companion. Your car does a lot for you, so why not give back? A regular tune-up is an important part of car maintenance and will keep your car running smoothly and efficiently, which will make your life easier and your expenses lower.
Whether you're just maintaining your car or have noticed some signs of wear and tear, a tune-up will keep your car running smoothly. There are a few things to look out for that let you know it's time for a tune-up.
Engine noise is a surefire sign that something's going on under the hood. It's often a sign of engine damage that will only get worse if you leave it be. Not only is your engine not running as smoothly as it could be, but this problem can lead to serious engine damage in the future.
Engines lose power as time goes by, but often a tune-up can help restore your engine's power and fuel economy while also reducing emissions. A regular tune-up keeps your engine running at its smoothest and most efficient.
It seems pretty obvious that an engine with missing or broken parts won't work the way it should, but it's all too easy to just ignore the problem. Bringing your car in for regular tune-ups will ensure that your engine is in excellent condition and there are no issues with any parts, from spark plugs to fuel filters.
As easy as it is to neglect your car's maintenance when it seems to be running well, bringing your car in for regular tune-ups can actually increase your car's longevity and shave dollars off your gas bill. Your car is an investment, and a tune-up is a great way to make sure it keeps on giving back. In the end, it'll save you time, money and energy.

Cyclone Amphan: These Women Are the Heroes of Odisha's Evacuation Mission
"This year the rescue operation faced an additional challenge owing to the already existing COVID-19 pandemic. But our women officials overcame the challenge efficiently & saved lives."
Post author:Sayantani Nath
Post category:Calamity / Helpline / Odisha / Odisha
With The Positive Collective, The Better India's COVID-19 coverage is available to regional language publications for free. Write to editorial@thebetterindia.com for more details.
Around 5:30 AM this morning, Super Cyclone Amphan made landfall on the coastal district of Bhadrak in Odisha. Despite the presence of a sizeable population in the coastal areas, the district overcame the calamity with minimal damage, thanks to the vigilant endeavour of the district's police force.
And deployed at the forefront of the evacuation efforts were around 118 women police personnel who helped relocate around 15,000 residents overnight thereby saving their lives at the nick of time.
118 Policewomen are Working On the Ground in Bhadrak
Speaking to The Better India (TBI), Rajesh Pandit, Bhadrak Superintendent of Police, shares, "The Odisha State government mandates 30 per cent women officials in the police force. They have to be part of all disaster management efforts without any gender discrimination. Even during the COVID-19 crisis, our policewomen efficiently managed all sectors – from traffic, relief for migrant workers, control rooms and general law and order."
He adds that these policewomen, including constables, inspectors, sub-inspectors, home guards and other auxiliary personnel, led yesterday's evacuation and rescue operation with absolute efficiency. "At the moment, they are working in road clearance and other post-calamity relief operations. In total, 118 policewomen are involved in Bhadrak district. The team comprises 73 constables, 7 inspectors, 6 sub-inspectors, 4 assistant sub-inspectors, 9 Odisha Auxiliary Police Force (OAPF), 1 CASI and 18 home guards," he informs.
Furthermore, even amid the intermittent thunderstorms and rainfall, the Bhadrak police continued feeding the migrant workers, serving around 5000 meals every day.

COVID-19 Crisis Posed an Additional Challenge
Being a recurring annual phenomenon, Odisha is quite well-equipped to withstand cyclones, with special cyclone shelters built in every district. Bhadrak itself has 104 such cyclone shelters where a majority of the evacuated citizens were placed. However, this year the rescue operation faced an additional challenge owing to the already existing COVID-19 pandemic. Many of the school buildings which were previously used as cyclone shelters, were already occupied this time by quarantined migrant workers who have returned home recently.
But the women task force, as well as their male counterparts, managed to promptly locate alternate places for shelter. The people were put up while adhering to all the social distancing norms. "We have also distributed dry rations for a few days to the rescued citizens during the evacuation," informs SP Pandit.
So far, there is only one report of casualty from the cyclone in Bhadrak district. Crops and power transmission lines have faced the maximum damage and roadside trees have also been uprooted from the impact.

Estonian president Kersti Kaljulaid made an official government visit to Ukraine on 22-24 of May. The visit happens amid increasing economic activity between Ukraine and Estonia. President Poroshenko quoted some statistics at one press conference after negotiations with Mrs. Kaljulaid and said the trade turnover between Ukraine and Estonia increased by 30 % in the span of the last year.
Ukrainian Prime Minister Groysman was active on Twitter during the visit, and said Ukraine is interested in attracting more Estonian investment to Ukrainian businesses. Currently the total investment is about 200 million USD.
Earlier this spring Estonia was briefly placed on the Ukrainian offshore watchlist. This was said to be a misunderstanding of the Estonian corporate income taxation system which taxes only dividends, and Estonia was quickly taken off the list after some diplomatic communications.

Gift Guide 2017: Petrucelli Picks the Best DVDs of the Year
December 6, 2017 alanwp	Leave a comment
She remains my favorite Christmas Carol. To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the landmark TV institution, Time Life has released The Best of The Carol Burnett Show, which includes the best of the best, from all 11 seasons, together for the very first time.
The six-discs feature episodes that haven't been seen since they originally aired, plus some of Burnett's most beloved classics on 16 fresh-from-the-vaults episodes. Classic shows include the very first episode with Jim Nabors and the emotional, double-length series finale, as well as some of the best-loved, fan-favorite sketches including "Mrs. Wiggins," "Carol and Sis," "The Oldest Man," "The Family," As the Stomach Turns, as well as a marathon of movie spoofs, along with commercial spoofs and some amazing bloopers. Once again, I'm so glad we had this time together.
More Carolmania. Carol and her cast members Harvey Korman, Vicki Lawrence and Lyle Waggoner, and later, Tim Conway and Dick Van Dyke, entertained millions of viewers with a spontaneity and go-for-broke attitude sorely lacking elsewhere. The annual Christmas shows soon became a popular event in Burnett's regular season schedule. And now, for the first time ever, Burnett has opened the CBS archives to release three Christmas shows from the first four seasons of her Emmy-winning program in The Carol Burnett Show: Carol's Lost Christmas. Across three hilarious episodes not seen in more than 40 years, home audiences will receive the gift of non-stop laughter and entertainment: Think Santa knows who's been naughty or nice? Jonathan Winters as St. Nick has other ideas, along with a strange collection of dolls. The old lovebirds Bert and Molly (Harvey and Carol) exchange a few choice words while they slowly rock themselves into the New Year. Carol and Vicki join the Bob Mitchell Singing Boys for a touching performance of "Do You Know How Christmas Trees are Grown?" And pitchmen Garry Moore and Durward Kirby reach out and touch the pocketbooks of parents with an array or ridiculous toys for kids. Ho! Ho! Ho!
Sleeping single in a double bed? Join the biggest names of country music with the time-Life gem CMA Awards Life: Greatest Moments 1968-2015, an attractively packaged DVD collector's set filled with 127 unforgettable performances from five decades of the nationally-televised ceremony.
Across the 10 discs, home audiences will discover a who's who of country artists, including Alabama, Brooks & Dunn, Vince Gill, Alan Jackson, Reba McEntire, Dolly Parton, Charley Pride, Rascal Flatts, George Strait, Randy Travis, Tanya Tucker, Trisha Yearwood, Dwight Yoakam, Barbara Mandrell and Tammy Wynette, who stands by her man. Music lovers will thrill to the memorable, once-in-a-lifetime performances including Loretta Lynn's "Coal Miner's Daughter," Merle Haggard's "Okie from Muskogee" and Alan Jackson's "Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning)," as well as famous country duets and collaborations including "Jackson" by Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash, "Cowgirls Don't Cry," by Brooks & Dunn and Reba McEntire, and "Lady" by Kenny Rogers and Lionel Richie. There's also a nifty year-by-year guide to 50 years of Award winners.
Red Skelton was a brilliant performer, a passionate patriot and a master of simple, hilarious and classic comedy. Now, home audiences can be entertained by America's Clown Prince any time with a singular collection of episodes from Time Life's The Red Skelton Hour, many of which have been unseen for more than 50 years. The treasure features 22 discs with more than 65 hours of hilarious, heart-warming humor from one of the country's most treasured comedians.

The film, in which Crosby plays a song-and-dance man who leaves showbiz to run an inn that is open only on holidays, features the Oscar-winning song, "White Christmas".

An extra gift: Holiday Inn 75th Anniversary Edition Crosby includes a new bonus disc featuring the all-new full-length Broadway musical.
Discover the true meaning of the holiday season with the live action adaptation of the beloved classic, Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas. Starring Jim Carrey as the Grinch, director Ron Howard and producer Brian Grazer reimagine one of the most enduring holiday stories of all time. Why is the Grinch (Carrey) such a grouch? No one seems to know, until little Cindy Lou Who takes matters into her own hands and turns both Whoville and the Grinch's world upside down, inside out. . . . and funny side up. Filled with dazzling scenery, special effects, makeup and costumes, this is an adventure even Scrooge would love. Grinch Deluxe Edition Combo Pack features collectible fuzzy green packaging.

Paula Parkins is such a good girl. Make that was a good girl. She is one of those good-girls-gone-bad who leads her degenerate teenage hellcats down a path of gas station hijackings, pajama party orgies and cold-blooded murder Welcome to Ed Wood's The Violent Years, an essential exposé on crime, gender politics and sweater-stealing; let us not forget the patently deranged dialogue to the scene where the gang performs a "man attack."
This Blu-ray new 4K print escaped from Alamo Drafthouse's American Genre Film Archive (the largest non-profit genre film archive in the world, and Something Weird) and we could not be happier. The bonus tracks are numerous, including gutter-noir trailers from the Something Weird vault, memorabilia scrapbook and a bonus movie, Anatomy of a Psycho, a new 2K scan from an original theatrical print.
Richard Simmons is still a show-biz heavyweight. For 30 years, he has been helping people lose weight (more than 3,000,000 pounds and counting) and get healthy with his unique enthusiasm, charm and encouragement. Since opening his first aerobics studio in Beverly Hills in 1974, he has cemented himself in America's pop-culture psyche with 65 fitness videos (selling over 20 million copies), dozens of infomercials, nine best-selling books, myriad parodies of his over-the-top persona, seemingly endless TV and film appearances and tabloid headlines digging the skinny on him. Time-Life celebrates the glittery guru with Richard Simmons: Sweatin' to the Oldies: 30th Anniversary Edition, an energetic six-disc set includes the complete collection of Simmons' bestselling workout programs.
Pairing lively classics from the '50s and '60s with rockin' low impact routines and Simmons' humorous banter, encouragement and sparkly tank tops, the set offers 41 exercise routines set to rock n' roll classics. Loaded with extras, this special anniversary set also includes 100 minutes of bonus programming featuring an exclusive interview with Richard, testimonials and success stories from Simmons' students, a full-color 20-page album of rare personal photos and memories personally selected by Richard and a bonus disc of Love Yourself and Win–Six Steps to Self-Esteem & Permanent Weight Loss.
In June 1944, the Allied forces stand on the brink of the greatest invasion of history: D-Day and the landing on the beaches of Normandy, France – the first step in the campaign to free Europe from the tyranny of Nazi Germany. But even as close to one million Allied soldiers are secretly assembled on the south coast of England preparing to invade Nazi-occupied Europe, Great Britain's iconic Prime Minister Winston Churchill struggles with the decision to embark on the operation. Fearful of repeating the mass slaughter of more than 500,000 soldiers during World War I's Battle of Gallipoli in 1915, he is terrified that if the D-Day landings fail, he will be remembered as the architect of the war's greatest carnage. The inspiring Cohen Media Group drama Churchill stars Brian Cox in a career performance as the British leader at a pivotal moment in history.
So what was the fuss about? Director Darren Aronofsky's film mother! received good reviews, though many whined about the flick's biblical allegories and depictions of violence. And the controversy continues. Jennifer Lawrence and Javier Bardem star in mother! (Paramount Home Media Distribution), the visually arresting psychological thriller that will leave your heart pounding and your mind blown. The film also stars and Michelle Pfeiffer, and stunned critics and audiences around the world. The mother! 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray Combo Packs include more 35 minutes of in-depth bonus content. Join Aronofsky and cast as they discuss the production of the movie and take us through its spectacular finale. Plus, check out the incredible makeup effects that made mother! a visual tour de force. We thought we'd share the reason Aronofsky so named the film: the title's exclamation mark, he says, "reflects the spirit of the film" and corresponds to an "exclamation point" of the ending. "To find out why there's a lowercase 'm', read the credits and look for the letter that isn't capitalised. Ask yourself what's another name for this character?"
We screamed in joy when we learned Cohen Media Group was releasing a new 4K restoration of The Old Dark House, Frankenstein director James Whale's masterpiece. Whale turned J.B. Priestley's novel Benighted into a nerve-jangling tale that became the template for all spooky-house chillers to come. Stranded travelers stumble upon a strange old house, and find themselves at the mercy of a highly eccentric and potentially dangerous family. This atmospheric thriller features an unforgettable post-Frankenstein horror role for Boris Karloff, as the hulking, disfigured butler Morgan. Also starring in early-career roles are Melvin Douglas, Charles Laughton, Raymond Massey and Gloria Stuart of Titanic.
It's the series that out the "fun" in "dysfunctional". After breaking out from "The Family" sketches on The Carol Burnett Show, Thelma "Mama" Harper's home-spun humor earned its own well-loved sitcom for six knee-slapping seasons. Time Life invites all classic TV aficionados and sitcom lovers to spend some quality time (across 130 episodes) with Mama's Family: The Complete Series. Remember, Mama always knew best.
Celebrating the Original King of Late Night, The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson: Johnny and Friends The Complete Collections is the ultimate 10-disc set bringing together all the greatest moments and Johnny's most legendary guests from the show's 30 year, 4,000 episode run. Carefully selected from the vaults by Carson archivists, this Time Life collection features more than 27 hours of classic Johnny–full, unedited episodes and original commercials from the '70s, '80s and '90s. Also included is a memory book filled with incredible and rare archival photos and nearly two hours of bonus features. Let's say it together: Hereeeeeeeeeeeeee's Johnny!
Paramount has made film fans an offer they cannot refuse: The Godfather Trilogy: Omerta Edition. Only 45,000 of these limited edition, numbered sets will be made making it a stunning gift for any fan. Celebrating its 45th anniversary, director Francis Ford Coppola's opus is widely considered one of the most influential films in cinematic history. Now the entire epic trilogy is available on Blu-ray in a spectacular 4-disc Omertà Edition, which includes the Coppola Restoration of The Godfather and The Godfather, Part II, as well as the remastered version of The Godfather, Part III. The set includes commentary by Coppola on all three films, a full disc of previously released in-depth special features, as well as exclusive new collectible Trivia Cards, Magnetic Poetry, an Anatomy of a Scene fold out and Quote Cards.
Porno for Xmas? And why not. Bat Pussy isn't just porno . . . it's considered one of the worst movies ever made. We're not sure when it was made and released (possibly released in the early '70s), but we do know it's a spoof of the TV series Batman, and the film's cult following relish the flick's notoriously poor quality, technical flaws, bizarre dialogue, flaccid dicks, public urination, dildo demonstrations and unattractive stars.
Need more? The director can be heard giving actors directions, a crew member audibly belches during a sex scene and the dialogue includes gems such as My horoscope says "I'm going to fuck you in the nose!" Be honest: Even Mrs. Claus loves Bat Pussy, whose alter ego is Dora Dildo!
First Run Features always releases first-rate DVDs. A quartet of faves:
♥ Life on the Line: Season 3 This Emmy-winning series narrated by Lisa Ling that follows the medical journey of individuals fighting for their life. At hospitals around the nation, people face life and death situations every day. Life on the Line zeroes in on one renowned academic hospital in Southern California. Loma Linda University Health serves one quarter of California and equips medical teams to travel around the world. From surviving Ebola in Western Africa to healing after one of the deadliest terrorist attacks on US soil, the series is an inspiring look into the resilience of humankind.
♥ Ma' Rosa Actress Jaclyn Jose took home the award for Best Actress at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival for her powerful performance as Rosa in this riveting new film from director Brillante Mendoza. Exploring the widespread corruption and chaos of the Philippines in the Duterte era, the film follows Rosa and her husband Nestor, owners of a tiny convenience store who supplement their meager income by selling small amounts of "ice" (crystal meth).
Eventually the couple gets caught and hauled away by police, who are more interested in collecting bribes than eradicating crime. With their parents locked away, it's left to Rosa's children to scrounge together the money to pay off the police and free their parents, by any means necessary.
♥ Stefan Zweig: Farewell to Europe tells the story of the Austrian writer and his life in exile from 1936 to 1942. Zweig was one of the most famous writers of his time, but as a Jewish intellectual he struggled to find the right stance towards the events in Nazi Germany. Driven to emigrate to South America at the peak of his worldwide fame, Zweig fell into despair at the sight of Europe's downfall. This visually stunning and emotionally powerful film explores what it means to be a refugee, and exposes the difficult decision to speak out or remain silent in the face of tyranny.
♥ The Pulitzer at 100 This documentary by Oscar-winning director Kirk Simon celebrates the centenary of the Pulitzers–the revered national award for excellence in journalism and the arts. The riveting tales of the winning artists give an insider's view of how these pinnacles of achievement are selected and how the award has the power to change lives and communities. The diverse stories explored in the film relate to immigration, race, gender, and above all freedom of speech–all issues that are ever more relevant in America today.
Featuring interviews with notable prize recipients (including authors, journalists, playwrights and musicians such as Toni Morrison, Michael Chabon, Tony Kushner, Paula Vogel, Carl Bernstein , Wynton y of the man who created it, also brings Pulitzer-winning works to life through readings by John Lithgow, Helen Mirren, Natalie Portman, Liev Schreiber, Martin Scorsese and Yara Shahidi.
American Genre Film Archive continues to scarce us (sometimes silly) with their gory gamut. Some faves that will become yours:
♥ The Zodiac Killer Directed by Tom Hanson, who had once owned a chain of Pizza Man restaurants, made this flick in an attempt to capture the real-life Zodiac Killer. That plan didn't work. Instead, we got the most outrageous and compelling "tabloid horror" vortex in the history of planet Earth. And beyond. During theatrical screenings, Hanson constructed in-theater "traps" to lure the killer from hiding. These included the use of an ice cream freezer filled with rent-a-cops and a raffle with a motorcycle as a prize. Shades of William Castle! This edition is a new 4K scan from the only surviving 16mm blow-up elements. Make sure you listen to Hanson's commentary!
♥ Ruby No, this movie was not named after my mother. It's a still relatively-unknown gem brimming with atmosphere and suspense . . . yes, there are enough creepy special effects and blood and gore to satisfy the most demanding genre fans. Most of it takes place at night, with all kinds of marvelous influences lurking in the shadows. Directed by cult-film director Curtis Harrington and featuring an impressive cast including Piper Laurie (as Ruby, fresh from her starring role in Carrie) and Stuart Whitman. This special BD/DVD combo is the definitive original theatrical version of Ruby, with a 2K restoration, two commentary tracks and more than hours of video interviews and special features.
We remain crazy over Patsy Cline. She was a trailblazer who defined modern country music, and broke down barriers of gender, class and genre. In her music and her life, she set a standard of authenticity towards which artists still strive. After years of hard work to overcome industry biases and her own personal hardships, she achieved enormous success, only to have it punctured by uncanny premonitions and her untimely death at age 30 in 1963.
Her life and legacy is showcased in When Patsy Cline Was … Crazy (UMe), a DVD that collects the acclaimed PBS documentary, Patsy Cline: American Masters, and a wealth of exclusive bonus material comprised of themed additional interview footage and rare vintage performances. An accompanying booklet includes classic photos of Cline.
Charles Castle, one of Hollywood's biggest stars, looks like he has it all. But his marriage is falling apart and his wife is threatening to leave him if he renews his contract. Studio boss Stanley Shriner Hoff isn't taking the news too well, and he'll do anything he can to get his man to sign on the dotted line, even if means exposing dark secrets. Winner of the Silver Lion at the 1955 Venice Film Festival, Robert Aldrich's The Big Knife remains a great piece of film noir. Based on Clifford Odet's famed stage work, the film boasts a remarkable cast, including Jack Palance, Rod Steiger, Shelley Winters, Ida Lupino, Jean Hagen and Everett Sloane.
Remember when fading film stars began working in schlocky films and/or TV shows? Some of these treasures exist. Yvonne DeCarlo, John Ireland and John Carradine stars in the hellish Satan's Cheerleaders (VCI Entertainment). Benedict High School's cheerleaders aren't shy and sweet. The football team knows them well . . . and Billy, the school's disturbed janitor, would like to. In the locker room, the girl's shower and dress, unaware of the evil eyes which secretly watch them. They don't know that a curse has been placed on their clothes. And they don't know that their trip to the first big game of the season might sideline them for eternity. Will the cheerleaders succumb to the dark ritual of sexual sacrifice and death that's been plotted for them? Only those who dare watch will know!
If we could turn back time . . . One Million B.C. (VCI) does. Boy meets girl – prehistoric style, in this classic of man's battle to survive against the terrors of the prehistoric world. Big-chested Victor Mature stars as protagonist Tumak, a young caveman who strives to unite the uncivilized Rock Tribe and the peaceful Shell Tribe; Carole Landis (who was murdered by Rex Harrison) as Loana, daughter of the Shell Tribe chief and Tumak's love interest and Lon Chaney Jr. as Tumak's stern father and leader of the Rock Tribe. Dinosaurs, savage nature, and a gigantic erupting volcano are part of the camp adventure classic.
Victoria & Abdul (Universal Pictures Home Entertainment) is the extraordinary true story of an unexpected friendship in the later years of Queen Victoria's (marvelously portrayed by Dame Judi Dench) remarkable rule. When Abdul Karim (Ali Fazal), a young clerk, travels from India to participate in the Queen's Golden Jubilee, he is surprised to find favor with the Queen herself. As the Queen questions the constrictions of her long-held position, the two forge an unlikely and devoted alliance with a loyalty to one another that the Queen's inner circle attempts to destroy. As the friendship deepens, the Queen begins to see a changing world through new eyes and joyfully reclaims her humanity. Our gets are that the Dame wins the Oscar.
Criterion Collection continues to release works that are essential. A few recent Blu-ray editions that demand attention:
♥ Romance becomes psychodrama in Alfred Hitchcock' elegantly crafted Rebecca, his first foray into Hollywood filmmaking. A dreamlike adaptation of Daphne du Maurier's 1938 novel, the film stars the enchanting Joan Fontaine as a young woman who believes she has found her heart's desire when she marries the dashing aristocratic widower Maxim de Winter (played with cunning vulnerability by Laurence Olivier). But upon moving to Manderley her groom s baroque ancestral mansion she soon learns that his deceased wife haunts not only the home but the temperamental, brooding Maxim as well. The start of Hitchcock's legendary collaboration with producer David O. Selznick, this elegiac gothic vision, captured in stunning black and white by George Barnes, took home the Academy Awards for best picture and best cinematography. The bonus tracks are great, especially the screen, hair, makeup and costume tests including actors Joan Fontaine and Anne Baxter.
♥ Stanley Kubrick bent the conventions of the historical drama to his own will in Barry Lyndon, a dazzling vision of brutal aristocracy, adapted from a novel by William Makepeace Thackeray. In picaresque detail, Barry Lyndon chronicles the adventures of an incorrigible trickster (Ryan O'Neal) whose opportunism takes him from an Irish farm to the battlefields of the Seven Years' War and the parlors of high society. For the most sumptuously crafted film of his career, Kubrick recreated the decadent surfaces and intricate social codes of the period, evoking the light and texture of eighteenth-century painting with the help of pioneering cinematographic techniques and lavish costume and production design, all of which earned Academy Awards. The result is a masterpiece a sardonic, devastating portrait of a vanishing world whose opulence conceals the moral vacancy at its heart.
♥ Amid the filth and muck of England in the Dark Ages, a fearsome dragon stalks the land, casting a shadow of terror upon the kingdom of Bruno the Questionable. Who should emerge as the town's only possible savior but Dennis Cooper (played by Michael Palin), an endearingly witless bumpkin who stumbles onto the scene and is flung into the role of brave knight? Terry Gilliam's first outing as a solo director inspired by Lewis Carroll s poem Jabberwocky and made on the heels of Gilliam s success as a member of the iconic comedy troupe Monty Python showcases his delight in comic nonsense, with a cast chock-full of beloved British character actors. A giddy romp through blood and excrement, this fantasy remains one of the filmmaker's most uproarious visions of society run amok.
♥ On a beautiful June weekend in 1967, at the beginning of the Summer of Love, the first and only Monterey International Pop Festival roared forward, capturing a decade's spirit and ushering in a new era of rock and roll. Monterey featured career-making performances by Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin and Otis Redding, but they were just a few performers in a wildly diverse lineup that included Simon and Garfunkel, the Mamas and the Papas, the Who, the Byrds, Hugh Masekela and the extraordinary Ravi Shankar. With his characteristic verite style and a camera crew that included the likes of Albert Maysles and Richard Leacock D. A. Pennebaker captured it all, immortalizing moments that have become legend: Pete Townshend smashing his guitar, Jimi Hendrix burning his, Mama Cass being blown away by Janis Joplin's performance. The Criterion Collection is proud to present the most comprehensive document of the Monterey International Pop Festival ever produced, featuring the films Monterey Pop, Jimi Plays Monterey, and Shake! Otis at Monterey, along with every available complete performance filmed by Pennebaker and his crew.
♥ Perky, overachieving Tracy Flick (played by Reese Witherspoon) gets on the nerves of history teacher Jim McAllister (Matthew Broderick) to begin with, but after she launches her campaign for high-school president and his personal life starts to fall apart, things spiral out of control. In Alexander Payne's satire Election, the teacher becomes unhealthily obsessed with cutting his student down to size, covertly backing a spoiler candidate to stop her from steamrolling to victory, and putting in motion a series of dirty tricks and reckless promises with uncanny real-world political parallels. Adapting a then-unpublished novel by Tom Perrotta, Payne grounds the absurdity of his central dynamic in the recognizable the setting is his hometown of Omaha, and the accomplished cast is rounded out with nonprofessionals and distills his closely observed take on deeply flawed humanity to its bitter but stealthily sympathetic essence.

Like many cities in the Midwest, Sandusky was founded in the early days of our country as an industrial port town. The city's location on the Sandusky Bay in Lake Erie allowed for the fishing and ice industries to thrive and the city later became home to a robust paper industry. In the mid-1800s, the railroads entered Sandusky and land was filled in along the north end of downtown so that trains could have easy access to the various factories and ice houses that were dotted along wharfs and docks on the waterfront. Those same tracks also carried passengers to a ferry terminal downtown where they could board ferries to travel across the bay to Sandusky's most well-known attraction—Cedar Point.
In the mid-20th Century, industry declined and the factories along the waterfront closed down. The railroad stopped running along the water in the 1970s, the tracks were paved over, and the former railroad right-of-way became Shoreline Drive. Ever since then, Sandusky has been slowly turning its formerly industrial waterfront into a place where people can enjoy the water. The most recent transformations have been the reconstruction of Shoreline Drive and the Jackson Street Pier.
Shoreline Drive used to have wide driving lanes which allowed cars to drive down the street at high speeds, and there was very little sidewalk space for people to walk or bike. The buildings that abutted the south side of Shoreline Drive were treated as the back of house for the various restaurants and businesses, meaning dumpsters were everywhere and the spaces were not that visually attractive. The Jackson Street Pier itself was primarily just a large parking lot that also served as docks for the Goodtime I cruise boat and the Pelee Islander Ferry.
Today, Shoreline Drive and the Jackson Street Pier barely resemble their former selves. The driving lanes on Shoreline have been narrowed, the utility lines buried, the sidewalks widened to allow for outdoor dining, and a multi-use path has been built along the water that serves as the keystone of the Sandusky Bay Pathway. On the pier, the large parking lot has given way to a green lawn to be used for events, a perimeter boardwalk, trellis swings, a 4-season pavilion, and a revamped ferry terminal.
We had big plans for the summer of 2020 to unveil the new pier and street, but like so many other things, those plans were dashed by COVID. We could no longer do any big events, nor host any large community gatherings. However, as soon as the pier opened, there was a palpable excitement among the residents of Sandusky. Immediately after pulling back the construction barriers, hundreds of people began streaming onto the pier to check out the new space.
Shoreline Drive and the Jackson Street Pier are no longer the domain of the automobile, but are now truly places for people. People on bikes are constantly riding down the Sandusky Bay Pathway, as other people take casual strolls down the sidewalk right next to the path. People can now sit and relax at the base of the Columbus Avenue Slip as they look out at the Sandusky Bay thanks to a newly installed seat wall that denotes Mile Marker Zero of the Pathway. Sunset at the Jackson Street Pier has become a community event as hundreds of people congregate every night to watch the spectacle of the sun setting over the bay. Some local residents started an ice cream cart business called the Frozen Tiki and they are on their pier every night selling a wide variety of frozen treats. Once the COVID-19 pandemic subsides, the pier will also be home to regularly scheduled public programming throughout the entirety of the year—like concerts, outdoor movies, and an ice rink, just to name a few. But even now, the pier is undoubtedly one of the most diverse places in the city and has quickly become the primary community gathering spot in Sandusky. In the short time that the pier has been open, it has already even been the site of multiple marriage proposals—a testament to its endearing qualities that make it a great place.
Jackson Street Pier works as a great place because it offers different experiences simultaneously. An active port is part of a public park. An outdoor concert venue has downtown as its backstage. The Pier is not great solely by its individual components; it is great because they work together in the heart of Sandusky.

Q: mysqli_num_rows returns false but data is added to database I'm getting an error
Here's the code:
<?php

//db connection

$dbserv="localhost:3306";
$dbuser="root";
$dbpass="firepower";
$dbname="account_data";
$db_connect=new mysqli($dbserv, $dbuser, $dbpass, $dbname);

if($db_connect->connect_errno){
    die("Error trying to connect to database");
}

session_start();

if(isset($_SESSION['current_page'])){
  $prev_page=$_SESSION['current_page'];
  $_SESSION['current_page'] = basename($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']);
}
else{
  $prev_page='';
}

if(!isset($_SESSION['email'])){
  header('location:'.'index.php?_rdr');
  die();
}

$limit=$_SESSION['limit'];
$index=1;
$first=true;
$products_ordered='';

while($index<=$limit){
  if(isset($_POST[$index]) && $first==true){
    $products_ordered.=$_POST[$index].' x Pizza '.$_SESSION['prod_name'][$index];
    $first=false;
  }
  else if(isset($_POST[$index]) && $first==false){
    $products_ordered.=', '.$_POST[$index].' x Pizza '.$_SESSION['prod_name'][$index];
  }
  $index++;
}

//insert order into db

$user_email=$_SESSION['email'];
$total_price=$_SESSION['order_price'];

$query="INSERT INTO orders (email, products_ordered, total_price) VALUES (?, ?, ?)";
$sql_sec=$db_connect->prepare($query);
$sql_sec->bind_param("ssi", $user_email, $products_ordered, $total_price);
$sql_sec->execute();
$result=$sql_sec->get_result();

if(mysqli_num_rows($result)){
  exit("Order added successfully!");
}
else{
  exit("Error connecting to database!");
}

?>

It's so strange because data is added correctly to my database and the other times I used the same code (for user registration) it worked with no problems... I checked everything and I can't find the problem.
$query="INSERT INTO orders (email, products_ordered, total_price) VALUES (?, ?, ?)";
$sql_sec=$db_connect->prepare($query);
$sql_sec->bind_param("ssi", $user_email, $products_ordered, $total_price);
$sql_sec->execute();
$result=$sql_sec->get_result();

if(mysqli_num_rows($result)){
  exit("Order added successfully!");
}
else{
  exit("Error connecting to database!");
}

The error I'm getting is this:

Warning: mysqli_num_rows() expects parameter 1 to be mysqli_result, boolean given in C:\xampp\htdocs\Dream Pizza\add_order.php on line 58
  Error connecting to database!

A: From the documentation for the get_result() function (emphasis mine):

Returns a resultset for successful SELECT queries, or FALSE for other DML queries or on failure.

You're executing an INSERT query, so get_result() will return false.
Instead, you should be using the mysqli_stmt_* functions (or just access the properties directly) to obtain information about the query's result from your $sql_sec statement directly:
if(mysqli_stmt_affected_rows($sql_sec)){
// or:
if($sql_sec->affected_rows) {

Note that you need to check the affected_rows property, not the num_rows property. The reason is that num_rows returns the number of rows in the result set. You're not selecting a result set, you're inserting a new set of data. That means you're actually interested in the number of rows that was inserted, which is stored in the affected_rows property.

Hello, recently there is a new item in the store with limited time before it's no longer in the store.
It says R & D adjustment, I can't find any announcement or description about it. And we're not sure exactly how it works. It looks like it resets technology or class tech points. Possibly giving us the gold and/or time back so that we can re-assign the points as we see fit.
Before I can decide whether to buy one I'd like to know what exactly are the limits and how does it work? Does it only reset one category of technology or class tech? Does it reset all? Looks like the item gives 2 cards.
One of our players bought one... but said it can't be used yet. The option to "use" is greyed out. Screenshots are below. Can someone please give info about this new option ASAP ?
Yes I have the same Question as KingCB has about that R&D Adjustment Pack , time running out would like to know what it Does .
It is used to reset your class tech points. To use it, you cannot have a research going. You then hit the"redo" button to reassign the points. to save the new points configuration, it takes a R&D Adjustment card. It only works for one tree at a time.

At Swoop we use Redis extensively for caching, message processing and analytics. The Redis documentation can be pithy at times and recently I found myself wanting to look in more depth at the Redis wire protocol. Getting everything set up the right way took some time and, hopefully, this blog post can save you that hassle.
The Redis logs do not include the commands that the database is executing but you can see them via the MONITOR command. As a habit, during development I run redis-cli MONITOR in a terminal window to see what's going on.
While normally we'd use a debugging proxy such as Charles to look at traffic in a Web application, here we need a real network protocol analyzer because Redis uses a TCP-based binary protocol. My go-to tool is WireShark because it is free, powerful and highly customizable (including Lua scriptable). The price for all this is dealing with an X11 interface from the last century and the expectation that you passed your Certified Network Engineer exams with flying colors.
WireShark needs X11. Since even Mac OS X stopped shipping X11 by default with Mountain Lion, you'll most likely want to grab a copy, e.g., XQuartz for OS X or Xming for Windows.
Start WireShark. If you see nothing, it may be because the app shows as a window associated with the X11 server process. Look for that and you'll find the main application window.
If WireShark is running, restart it to pick up the Redis plugin.
Now let's monitor the traffic to a default Redis installation (port 6379) on your machine. In WireShark, you'll have to select the loopback interface.
To reduce the noise, filter capture to TCP packets on port 6379. If you need more sophisticated filtering, consult the docs.
Once you start capture, it's time to send some Redis commands. I'll use the Ruby console for that.
1369526925.306016 [0 127.0.0.1:55023] "set" "key:5" "\xad\xad"
1369526927.497785 [0 127.0.0.1:55023] "get" "key:5"
In WireShark you'll be able to see the binary data moving between the client and Redis with the benefit of the command and its parameters clearly visible.
Check out the time between request and response. Redis is fast!
