That's So Retrograde: The Magic of Friendship
Posted by Cole in Articles & Interviews, Hale
Hale was the guest on the most recent episode (Ep. 242 "The Magic of Friendship") of That's So Retrograde, a podcast by his long time friends, Stephanie Simbari and Elizabeth Kott.
In the episode, Hale discusses his longtime friendship with the podcast hosts, his journey in Hollywood, and his role as Eliot on The Magicians. Hale and Stephanie clear the air about the rumors of their "marriage," stating that they are not married. Stephanie tells Hale, "I need you to get the f**k out of my way so I can find a real husband," to which Hale replies, "I support this." Hale also talks about his upcoming music, stating he found a producer that matched well with him and they are producing what Hale hopes will become an album, with a song release in the next month an a half (so soon!).
This is an excellent episode and we encourage you to take a listen at one of the links below.
You can find the podcast on Spotify, iTunes, and the That's So Retrograde podcast site.
"The Magicians" To End at Season 5
Posted by Cole in Articles & Interviews, News, Television, The Magicians
As many Syfy shows before it, The Magicians has been cancelled at season 5. The show's final episode, titled "Fillory & Further" will air on April 1. TVInsider had an excellent interview with creators and showrunners Sera Gamble and John McNamara, which you can read here: "Syfy, Sera Gamble & John McNamara Address the End of 'The Magicians'".
In light of the news, Hale posted a screencapture from The Magicians trilogy by Lev Grossman, highlighting a quote from Eliot that says, "I know I said I didn't need a family to become who I was supposed to be, but it turned out that I did. And it was you. We'll meet again." Hale included a caption that reads:
This is a heartfelt Thank You to all you kids ( and grown-ups ) out there for your continued love and support over the years. Your dedication to each other and to the world inspired by Lev's books helped keep us alive for 5 Seasons, and served as a constant reminder that family can be found, chosen, and nurtured in the most surprising and serendipitous ways. Meeting so many of you and hearing your stories has been a highlight of my life. Thank you for your love and attention through this very unusual and beautiful evolution. I'm eternally grateful to our creator @levgrossman, my show Dads @johnthemcnamara and @seragamble, our incredible cast, crew, producers and @audinkle: Thanks for giving me a shot at a character and show I'll love forever. I'm so proud to be your Eliot. Only Love. —H
Will The Magicians be picked up elsewhere?
That's hard to say. Very few cancelled shows have been picked up at another network or platform. In the past, Amazon Prime has picked up formerly cancelled Syfy show The Expanse and Netflix picked up the Sera Gamble show You from Lifetime. However, McNamara stated shopping it to other platforms, adding, "none of them seemed in the end like a perfect financial or creative fit." The season 5 finale was written to double as a series finale just in case it isn't picked up. All the fans can do is make sure a potential network can see The Magicians as a good investment to renew.
What does this mean for Hale?
In the case The Magicians is not picked up elsewhere, Hale will have to audition for pilot season if he'd like to stick to TV (we certainly would love to see him continue doing television, and we would also like to see some music from him). He does now have The Magicians on his acting resume, a project that allowed him to show off a range of talent one would expect many shows to want. We hope the best for Hale's journey and we will continue to be here, supporting this extraordinary talent.
BriefTake: Interview with Hale Appleman
Posted by Cole in Articles & Interviews, Hale, News, Television, The Magicians
Hale did an interview with BriefTake during which he discussed The Magicians season 4 and his new role, the Monster, as well as mentioned a new film! The Magicians season 4 will premiere on Syfy in just 3 days. Even though we're going to miss Eliot, based on what Hale had to say about the Monster, we're ecstatic! Here is an excerpt of the interview, with a link to the rest of it below.
BriefTake: What is it like playing a new character on the same show?
Appleman: I can't say that it was as easy as playing Eliot, in the sense that I had all of this material to source and actual novels, that is a rare gift that you have as an actor. For me, as the Monster, I just saw it as a huge opportunity to change up the expectations of the audience and gave me permission to explore something completely different. I ultimately settled on this idea of the dark shadow of your inner child, someone who has been neglected and left alone for thousands of years. He's finally able to explore the world around him, which has changed and of which he has no understanding. He has been so neglected that he is without a true understanding of human empathy, and his headspace operates around his need for attention and his need to follow through on the mission he set out to accomplish. So he has a hit list of people that he has taken revenge on and also has this amnesia kind of child-like view of the world. He cannot remember who he is truly or from where he came. So there's this element of him piecing it together. He's been living in darkness for so many thousands of years and he's finally able to start to piece it all back together.
BriefTake: So it is like a shadow figure?
Appleman: I think about it as the dark shadow of a child. Inspirations that I could draw from were the great monsters of cinema such as Frankenstein's Monster and the idea of a monstrous spirit living in a human body somehow, and needing to learn how to live within a new body. Something that I thought about playing with a little bit is how he speaks and how he forms words, the things that he encounters in the sort of every day human life around him — What's an ice cream cone and what's a t-shirt and how do I eat a bowl of cereal? [laughs] So there's a lot of humor in it. I hope that people enjoy it; I definitely took a chance and it was really exciting to take an opportunity to change it up, especially in terms of what people expect from me. This show spans so many different genres and has influences from across the board. I like that there's a meta-quality to The Magicians in which we can sometimes wear our references on our sleeves—whether it is pop culture or tropes within horror and fantasy.
BriefTake: What types of roles would you like to play in the future?
Appleman: I love that The Magicians has given me an outlet for comedy, although I see myself probably as a more dramatic actor. Not that I can't play across genres, but I would love to do some work that is more grounded—not that The Magicians can't be. I feel like part of my joy on the show is to ground material that could be very whimsical, and that's the beauty of a show that has a swirl of influences around it. That's an unusual opportunity, so I will continue to seize that opportunity for as long as I am a part of The Magicians. But I also love working on stage; I love theatre. I came from the theatre, so I would love to do some more serious work on stage. I'm doing a film in the next few months which I'm very excited about, but I can't really talk about it. But it is character-based, and it is a movie about a relationship and it's just a movie about a relationship between one human and another. So that's really focused and it's a huge departure from what I am doing on the show because it's so single-focused in its central [pauses] there's no plot [laughs]. The plot is the relationship. Anyway, I probably shouldn't say anything. [laughs]

Nerdist: "The Magicians" Cast Talks Creating an Authentically Diverse World
Posted by Cole in Articles & Interviews, Television, The Magicians
Nerdist went to the set of The Magicians season 4 and talked with the cast about diversity in the show. Read what Hale had to say below:
Fan favorite Eliot has been one of the stand outs since the second season of the magical series. Hale Appleman, who brings him to life, shared that playing the witty, brilliant, and fantastical character has been satisfying on multiple levels. "I'd be lying if I didn't say that being the queer king of a fantasy kingdom wasn't a fantasy of mine, so on that level it fulfilled something personal for me," Appleman said. "But it's been really beautiful to see the response from the true fans of the show and what that means to them as well."

Full Thread: Robert Faurisson (France)
February 17th, 2008 #5
Alex Linder
Zionists Attack Truth-Seeking Scholars
Jews will once again subject Robert Faurisson (aged 78) to a trial for "holocaust denial." The French judicial police served Faurisson a summons demanding that he appear in court this Thursday (24 Jan 08). Faurisson is charged with attending the December 11, 2006 conference in Iran titled, "Review of the Holocaust: Global Vision."
This will be the fifteenth time that Jews have hauled Faurisson into court. Jews have already frozen his bank account, while court officials have repeatedly visited his home, threatening him and his wife with seizure of their furniture to pay for financial "damages" caused by his "heretical" remarks.
Faurisson is arguably the most thorough of all examiners of the holo-hoax. Ernst Zündel, Gemar Rudolph and others are in prison, but Jews consider Faurisson enemy #1, because of the meticulousness of his work. And since the holo-hoax cannot be defended with reason and science, Jews use oppressive laws and prison sentences to protect it from rational criticism. In many cases they use extreme violence, as you will see later in this post. Fortunately the Goyim are too cowardly to resist Jewish terrorism.
At the Iran conference, Faurisson said that for the past 32 years, he has been waiting for someone to show him one of the chambers where Jews where supposedly gassed during the holo-hoax.
In July 2006, a Paris court convicted Faurisson of "holocaust denial" because of remarks made by Faurisson on the Sahar 1 Iranian satellite channel in February 2005. Faurisson was given a three-month suspended prison term, and was also fined 7,500 euros.
The former Prime Minister of France, Dominique de Villepin, said, "We [the French people] are in a democracy. Everyone has the right to express his views freely."
Therefore all defamatory remarks against Muslims or Islam are protected as "free speech."
However, any questioning of the holo-hoax or Jewish atrocities is illegal.
The Gayssot Act of 1990 – initiated by President Jaques Chirac -- prohibits any questioning or examination of the holo-hoax.
Faurisson's specialty is examining documents and manuscripts. In 1991 he was fired from his university post for questioning the holo-hoax. He was charged with violating the Gayssot Act, (Loi Gayssot) passed on 13 July 1990 that makes it illegal in France to question the holo-hoax. The law was proposed by the communist deputy Jean-Claude Gayssot, and is one of several European laws that make it illegal to examine the holo-hoax.
Its first article states that "any discrimination founded on the membership or non-membership to an ethnic group, a nation, a race or a religion is prohibited."
Discrimination against Muslims, of course, is permissible.
When Faurisson was terminated at the university, he appealed to the ICCPRHRC (International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and Human Rights Committee). This is a UN group that polices literature for any questioning of the holo-hoax. (It is not to be confused with the more high-profile Commission on Human Rights, a Charter-based mechanism, or its replacement, the Human Rights Council, which of course is controlled by Jews.)
Faurisson said the Gayssot Act violated international law. The ICCPRHRC disagreed, saying the Gayssot Act is necessary to counter "possible anti-Semitism."
In 1991 Faurisson (collaborating with Siegfried Verbeke" published the Dutch-language brochure Het "Dagboek" van Anne Frank. Een kritische benadering ( The "Diary" of Anne Frank - A Critical Evaluation). The examination concluded that the "diary" is a forgery, since the original handwritten manuscript cannot be that of a child. The brochure was outlawed in the Netherlands.
Faurisson was born on January 25, 1929, in Shepperton, England. His father was French and his mother was Scottish. In his youth he attended schools in Singapore, Japan, and France. He was educated at a Lycée in Paris, and at the renowned Sorbonne. He received his "State Doctorate" in letters and the humanities from the Sorbonne in 1972, where he also taught from 1969 to 1974. From 1974 until 1990, he was a professor of French literature at the University of Lyon II. He is a recognized specialist of text and document analysis, and is the author of four books on French literature.
Faurisson took the stand as a witness to defend Ernst Zündel in the 1985 and 1988 Jewish trials in Toronto. He brought in Fred Leuchter, an American gas chamber specialist who had personally examined Nazi detention camps. Faurisson also spent hundreds of hours -- often working all day and very late into the night -- preparing questions used by defense attorney Doug Christie to demolish prosecutors.
(Side note: On 7 May 1995, Jews attacked Ernst Zündel's home in Toronto. A few days later, Jews sent Zündel a booby-trapped package, which Zündel turned over to the police, who exploded it).
During an interview in December 1980 with the French radio network "Europe 1," Faurisson summarized the result of his historical research:
"The alleged gas chambers and the alleged genocide of the Jews constitute one and the same historical lie, which has made possible a gigantic financial-political fraud, the principal beneficiaries of which are Israel and international zionism. The principal victims are the German people -- but not their leaders -- and the entire Palestinian people."
For these words, Faurisson was convicted in July 1981 of "racial defamation and incitement to racial hatred" (even though Jews are not a race). He was given a suspended three month prison sentence, fined several thousand francs, and ordered to pay 3.6 million francs for the cost of making public the verdict on television and in periodicals. However, in June 1982 an appeals court threw out the charge of incitement to racial hatred and eliminated the 3.6 million franc payment.
In June 1995 a Paris court ordered Faurisson to pay a fine of $3,000 for writing Réponse à Jean-Claude Pressac sur le problème des chambres à gaz ("Response to Jean-Claude Pressac on the problem of the gas chambers"). Henri Roques, another French revisionist, was likewise fined $3,000 by the court for distributing the work.
On 25 September 1997, the Jews charged Faurisson for a statement made in April 1996 about the Garaudy-Abbé Pierre affair in which he mentioned "the imposture of the Nazi gas chambers." During the trial, Faurisson told the court: "We are only three years away from the year 2000, and there are billions of people who are asked to believe in something they have never seen and don't even know how it worked!"
The prosecutor asked for a new kind of sentence: either imprisonment or a fine, to which Faurisson responded by declaring: "I shall not buy and shall not pay for my freedom. No one has ever bought me and no one will ever buy me."
On 23 October 1997 the court found him "guilty" and ordered him to pay 120,600 francs ($20,000), divided into three parts: 50,000 francs as a fine, 20,600 francs for the Jewish prosecutor, and 50,000 to pay for the publication of the summary of the court's judgment in two daily newspapers.
Three months later the Jews charged him again. In December 1997 Faurisson received a summons from a Paris court official for an essay, "The Horned Visions of the Holocaust," that had been posted on a website without his prior knowledge or approval. In this piece Faurisson wrote, "The Holocaust of the Jews is a fiction."
He responded to the summons with a stern letter in which he declared his refusal to "collaborate" with French justice authorities and police in the repression of revisionism.
Three months after that, the Jews attacked again. On March 16, 1998, Faurisson had to appear before a Paris court to stand trial for a short definition of "revisionism," as inaccurately reported in a newspaper.
The following month, Dutch Jews launched an attack. On April 8, 1998 Faurisson was ordered to stand trial in Amsterdam for the publication in 1991 in Dutch of his detailed analysis of the Anne Frank Diary. The Anne Frank Museum in Amsterdam and the Anne Frank Fonds in Basel, Switzerland, jointly brought the legal action. The Museum complained that Faurisson's work made it necessary to provide "special training" for museum guides who had been awakened, and that Faurisson's critique might reduce the number of museum visitors, and therefore museum revenues.
On October 3, 2006, a Paris court found Faurisson guilty of "Holocaust denial" for having said, during an interview with Iranian television, that "there was never" a single execution gas chamber used by the Germans during World War II.
As you can see, the Jews really want to silence this guy.
Jewish terrorists physically attacked Faurisson ten times between November 1978 and May 1993. None of the Jewish terrorists was ever brought to justice. The attack on September 16, 1989 (photo above) almost killed him. A Jewish terrorist group that called itself "The Sons of the Memory of the Jews" claimed responsibility. None were charged with a crime.
Three young Jews set a trap for the 60-year-old scholar, waiting until he was out walking his dog. They hit him with pepper spray, knocked him to the ground, and then repeatedly kicked him in the face and chest. Faurissaon only managed to get to the hospital because a passerby saw him lying on the ground. Badly injured, he had to undergo a lengthy surgical operation.

Bromeliads are fun, tough little plants that have become popular as houseplants. The Dyckia group of bromeliads primarily come from Brazil. What are Dyckia plants? These are semi-succulent rosettes that may produce some astounding flower spikes. Some of the varieties are terrestrial while others are found on rocks in their native range. They have remarkable drought tolerance for short periods of time and can even withstand a brief freeze. All in all, growing these plants is easy and rewarding, but a little Dyckia plant info should put you on the path to ensured success.
Dyckia are bromeliads sharing that group's characteristic rosette shape. They are not technically succulents, as they do not store water in their leaves, but they do have similar thick, waxy foliage.
Dyckia are xeriscape plants and can withstand long periods without moisture. The leaves vary from long and strappy to short and scalloped. All foliage is fairly rigid and may be smooth or serrated, a solid color or variegated or spotted. Long stalks with multiple red, yellow, or orange flowers appear in spring. The wide range of varieties ensures that there is a specimen for every taste.
In addition to Brazil, these bromeliads are also found in Uraguay, Paraguay, Argetina and Bolivia. A bonus bit of Dyckia plant info; the genus is named for Prince von Salm-Kyck, an amateur collector of succulents.
Most of the plants we cultivate in the group Dyckia are from Brazil. They survive in warm regions with heavy rainfall for half the year and very dry conditions the rest of the time. This makes Dyckia care slightly challenging, as getting the right balance of moisture to keep the plant happy may be difficult. Dyckia growing conditions in their natural setting should be mimicked as much as possible. Try growing Dyckia plants outside in summer or year around in warmer regions.
In their native region, it is not uncommon to find some forms of Dyckia growing on top of rocks near water. Water and the cycle of the monsoon season are important features to Dyckia health. They are used to rather poor soil when they do grow in ground and should be planted in a good succulent mixture.
Dyckia need full sun and temperatures of up to 90 degrees Fahrenheit (32 C.) to thrive. Beware of exposing the plants to freezing temperatures for more than a brief time as they are not cold hardy. Temperatures below 40 degrees Fahrenheit (4 C.) seem to be the limit of Dyckia growing conditions.
Dyckia are exposed to harsh sun and very dry conditions for most of the year. Then the rainy season appears and the plants are half drowned. Contrary to common sense, they seem to love this treatment and plants are healthiest when the monsoon season is harsh and long.
While actively growing, the plants need regular water to produce happy plants. The soil should not be soggy but evenly moist at all times. Use a saucer under potted plants to keep the roots from sitting in water but allow for evaporation and consistent humidity. In winter, when growth is dormant, you may reduce the amount of water by half.
Fertilize from spring to fall with a half strength liquid plant food. In the wild, the plants form pups or offsets, which result in new plants. The same is true in container grown plants and these can be divided away from the parent with ease.
The plants set seed readily when flowers are present and these germinate quickly. However, they also freely hybridize and the species resulting from the seed may not represent the parent.
There are very few cautions or surprises with Dyckia bromeliad care. They are unfussy, hardy little plants that thrive even in slightly neglectful conditions.

A visit to Lanka will change Pillay's mind
Most foreign delegates and State officials who tour Sri Lanka's North and the East are satisfied with the development in these areas and the new lease of life given to people liberated during the humanitarian operation.
Prior to leaving Colombo, they commend the Government for its sincere efforts to improve the lifestyles of those in the North and the East. They lavish praise on the Government for the mega development projects, speedy resettlement and the efforts towards national reconciliation.
However, when they return to their countries, the self-same delegates sing a different tune, ignoring the first-hand information they had gathered, and, moreover, contradict what they had said earlier in Colombo.
One of the main reasons for this state of affairs is the misleading campaign projected by our countrymen, either for petty political gain or their lust for foreign funding through International Non-Governmental Organisations (INGOs). It is not surprising that foreign delegates get carried away by such campaigns as Sri Lankans themselves are responsible for spreading this type of canard.
Regrettably, Opposition politicians and local NGO goons care less for their country as they are bent on achieving their personal agendas. It is evident that many countries and international organisations repose more faith on statements of Opposition politicians and local NGO representatives.
Perhaps, they assume that Opposition politicians and NGO heads express such views sincerely and do not, even in their wildest dreams, realise that these unscrupulous politicians and NGO activists discredit their own country. This assumption may hold water for most countries, but certainly not for Sri Lanka.
Opposition politicians and NGO activists in other countries do not harm their countries' national interests despite wide political differences. Nevertheless, in Sri Lanka, there is a different band of Opposition politicians and NGO activists. While most bankrupt Opposition politicians here would stoop to any low level to achieve their political goals, most NGO activists in Sri Lanka do likewise, to increase the foreign funding they receive. In short, both these categories of people sell their country for a mess of pottage.
The ongoing United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) sessions in Geneva and the United States' plan to bring in another resolution against Sri Lanka have afforded an opportunity to these two segments to tarnish their country's image, purely for power and money.
Opposition Leader Ranil Wickremesinghe has taken the Government to task for welcoming the setting up of the UNHRC in 2006, to empower it to investigate human rights' violations and the undertaking it had taken to safeguard human rights in the country.
Wickremesinghe had told a group of party activists at the United National Party headquarters, that the Government had put the country in a precarious situation at the UNHRC sessions. The UNP leader has alleged that the Government had further acknowledged the UN's powers to solve international problems of an economic, social, cultural or humanitarian character and promoting human rights, irrespective of race, sex, language or religion.
Wickremesinghe said that he had declined to sign an agreement on the International Court during his tenure as Prime Minister, thereby preventing Sri Lankan leaders from being charged with war crimes. This is indeed, a diabolical lie, as Wickremesinghe had never been the Head of State at any time and functioned only as the Prime Minister for a few years under former Presidents D.B. Wijetunga and Chandrika Kumaratunga.
Sri Lanka cannot live in isolation in a fast changing global village and should cooperate with the international community, protecting the UN Charter. This does not necessarily mean that Sri Lanka should permit international interlopers to meddle in the country's internal affairs, ignoring its sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Wickremesinghe can make sweeping statements as barely anybody, not even his party supporters, take him seriously. However, his irresponsible statements could send the wrong signals to the international community as they consider him the Leader of the Opposition, irrespective of the vote base he commands.
Shirani Bandaranayake has also shot herself into the limelight to coincide with the UNHRC sessions. A few days after her impeachment from the post of Chief Justice was referred to at the UNHRC sessions, she made a preposterous statement by informing the Supreme Court that she is "still the Chief Justice of the country". She had even refused to appear before the Supreme Court hearings relating to her impeachment.
This was a high-handed act and an insult to the highest institution of the Judiciary. She fails to realise that she is no more the Chief Justice and merely an ordinary citizen. She should hang her head in shame, having been found guilty by over two-thirds of Parliamentarians who approved her impeachment motion. Though no country or international organisation could challenge such a legitimate procedure, Dr. Mrs. Bandaranayake sees it fit to take undue advantage of the UNHRC sessions.
Many local politicians and NGO activists are working round-the-clock to discredit Sri Lanka in the eyes of the world. Wittingly or unwittingly, these people are indirectly helping the LTTE cohorts and Tamil Diaspora to take Sri Lanka to task in the international arena. Western politicians who depend heavily on the Tamil Diaspora vote in their countries play a key role in trying to intimidate Sri Lanka.
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, in reply to a question on Sri Lanka during a press briefing last week, said that he recognises "the important steps taken by the Government of Sri Lanka" since terrorism was eradicated.
The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Senior Deputy Assistant Administrator Denise Rollins has also expressed satisfaction on the development work in the Northern and Eastern Provinces.
At a meeting with Economic Development Minister Basil Rajapaksa, she said there would be more employment opportunities in the two provinces through tax-free investments. Rollins was confident that the North and the East's scenic attractions, especially the natural beauty of the Eastern coastal belt and the traditional Sri Lankan hospitality, would attract more foreign tourists to Sri Lanka, following the rapid progress of Sri Lanka's tourism industry.
Despite top officials of key international organisations making such positive remarks on Sri Lanka, most Western countries still fail to understand the true ground situation. This is because they are either ill-informed or do not come to terms with the fact that Sri Lanka was the first country to defeat terrorism.
It was witnessed that representatives of little-known countries had levelled malicious and baseless statements against Sri Lanka on the sidelines of the UNHRC sessions in Geneva. Our only plea to those representatives is for them to visit Sri Lanka and see for themselves the real situation.
The LTTE's propaganda network had been extremely active when the world's most ruthless terrorist outfit was unleashing untold terror. Although it had been beaten militarily, the Tamil Diaspora continues to do likewise through its trusted channels. Hence, there is every possibility for the international community to be misled as a result. The doctored video telecast by the notorious Channel 4 on the eve of the UNHRC sessions speaks volumes of how the Tamil Diaspora misleads the international community.
The UNHRC should not swallow hook line and sinker everything that is dished out by local NGO activists and LTTE cohorts. Navi Pillay should at least, now refrain from making baseless statements from Geneva. Instead, she must visit Sri Lanka and gain first-hand experience on the peaceful co-existence among all communities. She should not merely go by what her officials or INGOs say.
Pillay must visit the North and the East and speak to those who had been rescued from the jaws of LTTE terror. They would tell her the true story in detail which most UNHRC members are unaware of.
These civilians, who are now enjoying the dividends of peace, would enlighten Pillay on how the world's most disciplined Army sacrificed its dry rations to feed the civilians who had been forcibly used as a human shield by LTTE terrorists. Pillay would definitely change her mind if she were to visit Sri Lanka's North and the East.

Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark begins shooting soon: The Guillermo Del Toro produced adaptation of Alvin Schwartz's collection of horror stories will begin shooting this summer. The movie version will find a group of young teens investigating sudden and macabre deaths in their small town. André Øvredal is directing the film for GDT, he previously directed The Autopsy of Jane Doe and Trollhunter. There's no main cast set yet.
John Wick Chapter 3 synopsis revealed:
"John Wick (Keanu Reeves) is on the run for two reasons… he's being hunted for a global $14 million dollar open contract on his life, and for breaking a central rule: taking a life on Continental Hotel grounds. The victim was a member of the High Table who ordered the open contract. John should have already been executed, except the Continental's manager, Winston, has given him a one-hour grace period before he's "Excommunicado" – membership revoked, banned from all services and cut off from other members. John uses the service industry to stay alive as he fights and kills his way out of New York City."
Marvel looking into Eternals and Nova movies: Kevin Fiege, the main producer of the MCU, said that future plans for the universe are going even more cosmic as they are looking to make a Nova solo film, featuring possibly original Nova Richard Rider or the more recent and younger Sam Alexander. They are also looking into developing a movie based around Eternals, a group of characters created by Jack Kirby that leans hard into weird, insane side of the Marvel universe, as The Celestials, five million years before the present day of the Marvel universe, created two races of superpowered beings, the Eternals and the Deviants, and this eventually led to the creation of the mutants as things evolved.
Fast & Furious animated series coming to Netflix: Kids are getting their own slice of the Fast & Furious universe as a new animated series is coming from Dreamworks and Netflix. The new show will follow Dominic Toretto's cousin, Tony, who is recruited, along with his friends, by a secret government agency to infiltrate a street racing ring and take down a criminal organization that is behind it. Tim Hedrick, one of the showrunners of Voltron on Netflix, and Bret Haaland, showrunner on All Hail King Julien, are the showrunners of this new series.
Goosebumps 2 gets an official title: Goosebumps 2 is now officially Goosebumps: Haunted Halloween. Slappy, the villain of the first movie, is back and supposedly still voiced by Jack Black, even though it's not clear if he'll also be back as RL Stine. The cast is completely new from the first movie and includes Wendi Mclendon-Covey, Chris Parnell, Ken Jeong, Madison Iseman, Ben O'Brien, Caleel Harris and Jeremy Ray Taylor and is out this October.
Peter Parker cast for Into the Spider-Verse: Sony is releasing the animated Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse movie this December and previously cast Dope star Shameik Moore as Miles Morales and now New Girl and Jurassic World co-star Jake Johnson has been cast as Peter Parker. Lord & Miller produced the film and the trio of Peter Ramsey, Bob Persichetti, and Rodney Rothman are directing.
Jumanji 2 confirmed: Afer making almost a billion dollars worldwide, a sequel to Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle is a no-brainer and it's arriving in December of 2019 and will face off directly against the next Star Wars movie. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is definitely returning and it's probably a safe bet that Jack Black, Kevin Hart and Karen Gillan will return as well, because a sequel without any of that quartet will break the special comedic sauce that made Welcome to the Jungle so fun.
An HD version of Turkish Star Wars is out in the world: Film historian Ed Glaser, back in 2016, discovered the last remaining 35mm print of The Man Who Saves the World, the 1982 film that became the cult sensation Turkish Star Wars. Glaser has restored and color corrected the print and now has an HD, 2K version of the film available, although right now it will only be shown in two special screenings in Europe on May 4th but there are discussions with distributors to get a wider release and possibly DVD/Blu-Ray release in the future.
Double Dare is returning to Nickelodeon: The classic Nick game show Double Dare is coming back to Nickelodeon this summer with 40 new episodes hosted by Marc Summers. The new version will retain the classic format of two teams answering trivia questions or forcing each other to do physical challenges and the winning team eventually going through a massive obstacle course to gain prizes.
Harrison Ford doing his first voiceover role: Harrison Ford will be doing his first ever animated voiceover role in the upcoming The Secret Life of Pets 2. It's not clear who Ford will play but he'll be joined by Nick Kroll, Pete Holmes and Tiffany Haddish, who are all joining the original cast that are coming back, with the big exception of Louis CK, who is being replaced by Patton Oswalt.
Megan Fox hosting Travel Channel mystery show: The Transformers/TMNT star will travel around the globe for a four episode Travel Channel show where she will talk to experts and reexamine the biggest mysteries and myths of history, including if the Trojan War actually happened or if Amazons were real. The show will premiere sometime later this year.
A Quiet Place 2 on the way: The surprise horror hit A Quiet Place is getting a sequel from Paramount with "the same group of people that made the first film" without confirming if John Krasinski will be back to direct or if the same cast, including Krasinski and his wife Emily Blunt, will be back to star. As of right now, the movie has made almost $216 million worldwide.
New Star Wars animated series on the way: Coming this fall to Disney XD, a new Star Wars animated series is coming called Star Wars Resistance. Dave Filoni, the showrunner of The Clone Wars and Rebels, will be back to showrun this new series, although the visual style will be drastically different from those prior shows, adopting a 2D, anime inspired look and the show will be set before The Force Awakens and follow a young pilot and spy in the ranks of General Organa's Resistance. Gwendoline Christie and Oscar Isaac will reprise their roles as Captain Phasma and Poe Dameron on the show and Christopher Sean, Suzie McGrath, Scott Lawrence, Myrna Velasco, Josh Brener, Donald Faison, Bobby Moynihan, Jim Rash and Rachel Butera round out the voice cast.
Official synopsis for The Predator revealed:
From the outer reaches of space to the small-town streets of suburbia, the hunt comes home in Shane Black's explosive reinvention of the Predator series. Now, the universe's most lethal hunters are stronger, smarter and deadlier than ever before, having genetically upgraded themselves with DNA from other species. When a young boy accidentally triggers their return to Earth, only a ragtag crew of ex-soldiers and a disgruntled science teacher can prevent the end of the human race.
Fox announces cell phone controlled theatrical experience: Fox announced and showed off a demo of a technology called CtrlMovie at the recent Cinemacon. The tech has been in development since 2016 and would put up prompts on the movie screen and the audience would vote for what they want to happen in an app. Fox is developing a Choose Your Own Adventure movie, as they acquired the rights to that classic book series last year, that will use this tech.
Splatoon 2 doing a TMNT themed event: Splatoon 2 is doing a "Splatfest" event that will be based around the upcoming Rise of the TMNT cartoon on Nickelodeon. Players can vote on a bracket to determine which Turtle is best and can buy TMNT themed cosmetic items for their Inklings. The event is on now and the final voting bracket will end on May 19th.

Labor Day is a saccharinely sweet, obnoxiously earnest piece of unromantic romantic tripe from a filmmaker who both can do better and is good enough to keep this from being truly awful.
Jason Reitman had an unblemished track record. He burst onto the feature film scene with 2005's darkly hilarious Thank You for Smoking, followed it up with the moving and saddening (and also, for pretty much everyone except me, funny) Juno, succeeded that with the damn near masterpiece Up in the Air and then re-teamed with Diablo Cody for the subversive and real Young Adult. His films near-expertly juggled comedy and drama, presented lovable or relatable or, at the very least, entertaining and interesting characters and, and this is something that a lot of filmmakers seem to have forgotten how to do these days so it's worth pointing out, he knew how to craft excellent endings. That unblemished track record was no joke, you could pretty much guarantee quality if you turned up to a Jason Reitman film.
The usage of the past tense in that previous paragraph is not an oversight on my part. See, Jason Reitman had that unblemished track record. Unfortunately, that unblemished track record had to grow its first zit some time, show me a filmmaker who has never made a below-par film and I'll show you a way inside Fort Knox, and that time has finally arrived for Mr. Reitman. For Labor Day, based on a bestselling and critically acclaimed 2003 romance novel of the same name (in what must have been a really slow year for decent novels, if the evidence displayed here is anything to go by), is garbage. And yet, maybe it's a testament to the skill of Reitman as a filmmaker that my predominate thought when leaving the cinema was not "that was dreadful and offensive sh*te" but instead "well, that could have been a lot worse".
So our story is set in 1987 and we follow mother and son Adele (Kate Winslet who, if Divergent does end up as bad as it looks, is not having a great start to 2014) and Henry (Gattlin Griffith and, yes, that is his actual name, I checked). Adele has been suffering from depression, seemingly because her husband (Clark Gregg) left her but actually because of really stupid and misguided reasons, and this renders her practically incapable of leaving the house. Henry tries as best he can to make her happier, but it's not working and he's at a loss as to how to make things better.
Enter Frank (Josh Brolin, who I think has officially used up all of the goodwill he earned in 2007 & 2008 by this point), an escaped convict who was thrown in jail for murder that he insists is way more complicated than it sounds except that, no, it really is not. He forces Adele and Henry to shelter him at their place from the cops whilst his wounds heal over Labor Day weekend. Except that, whilst he's recuperating, it turns out that good old Frank is actually a perfectly swell guy who fixes things up, talks politely, turns into the father figure that Henry never got, and Adele also ends up falling for him because, oh, have you seen his arms! And the way he broods! And he is just such an excellent baker! I want him inside of me, right now!
I apologise for not falling head over heels for the charms of Frank, the convicted and unrepentant murderer, but this is f*cking awful. No film relationship, no convincing and heartfelt film relationship, can or should ever begin with an escaped ex-con threatening to murder the female protagonist's son. If you're doing it as a complex drama, that asks you to sit and psychologically analyse the two people involved and how they would reach such a situation, a character study that never explicitly asks you to empathise with or root for those involved, go right ahead. That actually sounds really interesting; get on it, Hollywood! If you're going to ask me to sit down and root for these two lovebirds for the course of two hours, to share in their intimacy and heartbreak and to be begging for them to somehow make it work for these crazy cats even whilst this cruel and heartless universe strives to keep them apart, I am going to snort derisively and consider you a little screwed up.
What part of this is romantic? Explain to me how any part of this scenario is supposed to get my heartstrings all tangled and tugged at. I am dying to know, here. Please, regale me with a thousand word essay on how this is comparable to Romeo And Juliet. They're both doomed romances, because SOCIETY JUST DOESN'T UNDERSTAND THEIR LOVE, but one begins with a chance meeting at a masquerade ball and involves two people falling for each other in a love at first sight type deal, whilst the other comes into being through the combined efforts of Josh Brolin's smoulder and Stockholm Syndrome. It's romance written by and for people who either have had no actual experience with romance and love or have unrealistically high and stupid expectations for romance and love. None of this is the fault of Winslet or Brolin and probably not so much Reitman too, this sounds like an abysmal launch point of material and they're all trying really hard to make it work, but they're putting in doomed efforts. The material isn't romantic and, quite honestly, it's kinda repulsive.
Not once did I buy into the affection that the pair shared for one another. Frank never seems to have a reason for why he's so taken to Adele and Adele's entire reasoning as to why she's fallen for Frank can basically be boiled down to "she's damaged goods" thanks to a horrifically misguided and melodramatic late-game reveal as to why she's so depressed. I'm not saying that the plot point itself is the thing that should be off-limits, I am saying that it needs to be handled way better than it was here and, preferably, not used as provocative fuel for a romance weepy. And as for Frank, the convicted and unrepentant murderer? The film teases what he did by randomly strewing short, near-wordless flashbacks to his past throughout the film even though anybody who is aware that this is a romance film will have gathered what it is in about five seconds. Then the reveal comes and the film practically bends over backwards to make Frank seem totally justified, all but openly inviting viewers to join in in shouting "YEAH, TAKE THAT, B*TCH! YOU GOT WHAT WAS COMING TO YOU!" Funnily enough, I did not take this bait.
And yet, I can't muster up the energy or the passion to maul Labor Day to pieces. Maker knows I have tried, repugnant stuff is being peddled here under the pretence of "Aw! Look at the couple in all the love! All the love! So much love!" But I can't and that's because the film is too competently made and too earnest for me to get angry at. It's not like 300: Rise of an Empire where it's sneaking by a lot of problematic subtext without even realising it because it's competently made, and it's not like A New York Winter's Tale where it totally fails as a film on every basic level. No, this is a film that knows exactly what it's doing and is completely sincere in what it is peddling in that decently-constructed product. And it's that sincerity that makes it hard for me to get angry at this film.
Even when Henry stupidly engages the shifty-looking stranger with the bleeding wound in the store instead of running away (seriously, it's not like Frank has him cornered, Henry all but walks up to and talks to the guy); even when Frank ties up Adele and feeds her tinned tomatoes, both in a manner that, yes, is supposed to represent sexual feelings being exchanged; even when Frank leads the pair through the steps of how to bake a nice pear pie in a sequence that would be more fitting a Saturday morning cooking show; even when the film trots out a mentally disabled and physically crippled child whose mother beats him when he gets on her nerves; even when the film juxtaposes Frank and Adele's romance with Henry's own sexual awakening and his growing closeness to The Most Annoying And Precocious Fictional Girl of 2014 So Far; and even when the film's romance fully kicks in and asks us to root for their planned run for the border, I couldn't get mad. I couldn't elicit any strong emotions either way.
It's all so… nice and pleasant. The film equivalent of wallpaper. I would have said the film equivalent of a nice warm hug except that a] I reserve that phrase for usage in reference to Studio Ghibli productions only and b] that would insinuate that I was touched by this film at some point. I wasn't. I was mostly bored but I could at least appreciate the well-done technical side of the proceedings. The end sequence before the extended denouement is genuinely tense for a while (well, until stupid stuff resolve or complicate things), Rolfe Kent scores most of the film like a suspense drama instead of a romance flick which, if nothing else, adds a different spin to this kind of film than I'm used to, it's very lovingly shot, Reitman keeps the pace from feeling languid, even if it never fully managed to excite or engage me and all of the cast are alright if not particularly great (the exception being Gattlin Griffith, who is just plain atrocious and could give Twilight-era Kristen Stewart a run for her money in the Dull Surprise stakes). If the romance at its centre was not predicated on f*cking Stockholm Syndrome, and instead on something, you know, romantic, I would give this a mild pass as a decent timewaster, even if it is rather dull.
But I keep coming back to that premise and I just can't get over it. It's not romantic and the film can't compensate for the lack of romance in that premise by injecting some believability into proceedings, instead resorting to tired and manipulative melodrama. Here are three people who fall in love because the woman likes the way he smoulders, the man likes the way she loves him for his smoulder and the son loves him for being a man and stuff… despite the fact that the man coerced them into hiding his murdering arse from the police and repeatedly threatens to kill them if he is exposed. I've been racking my brains trying to figure out exactly why 300: Rise of an Empire's misogyny and racism irked me into a ball of white hot rage despite it being well-made disposable nonsense and yet this, with its toxic romanticising of murderers and escaped convicts and damaged women who need a good smouldering man to repair them, can barely get me to shrug my shoulders in disgust, but I've still yet to figure it out.
The best reason I've got right now is simply the fact that Labor Day is so well made that I can't really feel the need to get exasperated about it or anything. It's so well made, that if the romance at its centre were predicated on almost literally anything else, and even if the execution of that new romance was still as unconvincing and mediocrely done as it is right now, I'd probably be giving it a mild recommendation. But it's not, and that's what sinks the film. It's not enough to get mad and angry and hollering and hooting in rage, but it's not decent enough to be worth your time despite the premise. Jason Reitman has finally got a black mark on his directorial record. Let's hope it's his last for a long while.
Callie Petch has got the game spiced like ham.

Regular consumption of spicy foods linked to lower risk of death
By ONA Editor	 August 10, 2015 No Comments
Eating spicy food more frequently as part of a daily diet is associated with a lower risk of death, suggests a new study published in The BMJ this week. The association was also found for deaths from certain conditions such as cancer, and ischaemic heart and respiratory diseases.
This is an observational study so no definitive conclusions can be drawn about cause and effect, but the authors call for more research that may "lead to updated dietary recommendations and development of functional foods."
Previous research has suggested that beneficial effects of spices and their bioactive ingredient, capsaicin, include anti-obesity, antioxidant, anti-inflammation and anticancer properties.
So an international team led by researchers at the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences examined the association between consumption of spicy foods as part of a daily diet and the total risk and causes of death.
They undertook a prospective study of 487,375 participants, aged 30-79 years, from the China Kadoorie Biobank. Participants were enrolled between 2004-2008 and followed up for morbidities and mortality.
All participants completed a questionnaire about their general health, physical measurements, and consumption of spicy foods, and red meat, vegetable and alcohol.
Participants with a history of cancer, heart disease, and stroke were excluded from the study, and factors such as age, marital status, level of education, and physical activity were accounted for.
During a median follow-up of 7.2 years, there were 20,224 deaths.
Compared with participants who ate spicy foods less than once a week, those who consumed spicy foods 1 or 2 days a week were at a 10% reduced risk of death (hazard ratios for death was 0.90). And those who ate spicy foods 3 to 5 and 6 or 7 days a week were at a 14% reduced risk of death (hazard ratios for death 0.86, and 0.86 respectively).*
In other words, participants who ate spicy foods almost every day had a relative 14% lower risk of death compared to those who consumed spicy foods less than once a week.
The association was similar in both men and women, and was stronger in those who did not consume alcohol.
Frequent consumption of spicy foods was also linked to a lower risk of death from cancer, and ischaemic heart and respiratory system diseases, and this was more evident in women than men.
Fresh and dried chilli peppers were the most commonly used spices in those who reported eating spicy foods weekly, and further analysis showed those who consumed fresh chilli tended to have a lower risk of death from cancer, ischaemic heart disease, and diabetes.
Some of the bioactive ingredients are likely to drive this association, the authors explain, adding that fresh chilli is richer in capsaicin, vitamin C, and other nutrients. But they caution against linking any of these with lowering the risk of death.
Should people eat spicy food to improve health? In an accompanying editorial, Nita Forouhi from the University of Cambridge says it is too early to tell, and calls for more research to test whether these associations are the direct result of spicy food intake or whether this is a marker for other dietary or lifestyle factors.

About Robert T. Kiyosaki
Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad Poor Dad - the international runaway bestseller that has held a top spot on the New York Times bestsellers list for over six years - is an investor, entrepreneur and educator whose perspectives on money and investing fly in the face of conventional wisdom. He has, virtually single-handedly, challenged and changed the way tens of millions, around the world, think about money.In communicating his point of view on why 'old' advice - get a good job, save money, get out of debt, invest for the long term, and diversify - is 'bad' (both obsolete and flawed) advice, Robert has earned a reputation for straight talk, irreverence and courage.Rich Dad Poor Dad ranks as the longest-running bestseller on all four of the lists that report to Publisher's Weekly - The New York Times, Business Week, The Wall Street Journal and USA Today - and was named "USA Today's #1 Money Book" two years in a row. It is the third longest-running 'how-to' best seller of all time.Translated into 51 languages and available in 109 countries, the Rich Dad series has sold over 27 million copies worldwide and has dominated best sellers lists across Asia, Australia, South America, Mexico and Europe. In 2005, Robert was inducted into Amazon.com Hall of Fame as one of that bookseller's Top 25 Authors. There are currently 26 books in the Rich Dad series.In 2006 Robert teamed up with Donald Trump to co-author Why We Want You To Be Rich - Two Men - One Message. It debuted at #1 on The New York Times bestsellers list.Robert writes a bi-weekly column - 'Why the Rich Are Getting Richer' - for Yahoo! Finance and a monthly column titled 'Rich Returns' for Entrepreneur magazine.Prior to writing Rich Dad Poor Dad, Robert created the educational board game CASHFLOW 101 to teach individuals the financial and investment strategies that his rich dad spent years teaching him. It was those same strategies that allowed Robert to retire at age 47.Today there are more that 2,100 CASHFLOW Clubs - game groups independent of the Rich Dad Company - in cities throughout the world.Born and raised in Hawaii, Robert Kiyosaki is a fourth-generation Japanese-American. After graduating from college in New York, Robert joined the Marine Corps and served in Vietnam as an officer and helicopter gunship pilot. Following the war, Robert went to work in sales for Xerox Corporation and, in 1977, started a company that brought the first nylon and Velcro 'surfer wallets' to market. He founded an international education company in 1985 that taught business and investing to tens of thousands of students throughout the world. In 1994 Robert sold his business and, through his investments, was able to retire at the age of 47. During his short-lived retirement he wrote Rich Dad Poor Dad.

On Sunday when NIA suggested January 2015 GDX $25 call options, we showed you a chart of the HUI/Gold ratio. The HUI index for the most part tracks the same exact stocks owned by GDX. The HUI/Gold ratio shows how undervalued gold stocks are vs. the price of gold. The HUI/Gold ratio has a 17 year average of 0.37 and currently is down to 0.164, the lowest it has been since 2001, at the very beginning of gold's secular bull market.

Gold's 1980 high of $850 per oz is actually the equivalent of $7,944.83 per oz in today's economy. Furthermore, gold's 1976 low of $103.50 per oz is the equivalent of $1,096.12 per oz in today's economy. Gold's 1985 low of $285.75 per oz is the equivalent of $1,276.25
Keiser Report: Gold, Silver, Bitcoin FTW! (E527)
In this episode of the Keiser Report, Max Keiser and Stacy Herbert discuss QE as the meals on wheels for over-leveraged, consum-oholic debt addicts with Ben Bernanke as the pusher with a story to tell which is that 'cheap money is good' for buying depreciating assets like cars and where 'gold slamdowns' are meted out to those who refuse to stay intoxicated on that cheap money. In the second half, Max interviews Barry Silbert of Second Market and BitcoinTrust.co about the future of bitcoin in
Philip Judge on Phase Transition in 2014
The town of Lugano lies on Lake Lugano nestled in the Swiss Alps in Italian-speaking southern Switzerland, arguably one of the most beautiful old towns in all of Europe. Dinning in Lugano one evening last month with Alex Stanczyk and Jim Rickards, the conversation turned to 'Complexity Theory.' Jim spends several pages describing details of the Theory in Chapter 10 of his excellent bestselling book Currency Wars: The Making of the Next Global Crisis (1).
One thing I learned from the d
Keiser Report Talks Silver – Jim Rickards – Dollar Collapse – E525
In this episode of the Keiser Report, Max Keiser and Stacy Herbert discuss the melt down in the art market as the filthy rich scramble for safe havens from the taxpayers angry at the billions in free money they've been given. They also discuss financial irrigation, amputated gold and a special mince meat pie and Jamie stew for Christmas. In the second half, Max interviews Jim Rickards, author of Currency Wars, about central bank vaporware, straws in the dollar wind and about how Janet Yellen
More Nails In The U.S. Dollar's Coffin – Mike Maloney
Government shutdown? Inefficient politicians? These things are nothing new, and pale in comparison to the real story developing quietly behind the noise and hoopla we receive from the press.
The death of the U.S. dollar as the global reserve currency is the elephant in the room that nobody wants to acknowledge.
It's only been a short while since Michael Maloney delivered his keynote speech 'Death Of The Dollar Standard' in Singapore, where he showed the events that add up to

Two weeks ago we penned Gold Bear to end with a Bang, and noted the increasing probability that precious metals could be headed for a plunge to new lows ahead of a final major bottom. Two weeks later we continue to hold that view. The forthcoming charts present levels at which the more than two year old cyclical bear market could end. At the least, th
Simon Black – The amazing disappearance of GOLD from the American psyche
In George Orwell's seminal work 1984, there's a really great scene early in the book between Winston (the main character) and Syme, a low-level functionary at the Ministry of Truth.
Syme is working on the 11th Edition of the Newspeak Dictionary, and he explains to Winston how the Ministry of Truth is actually removing words from the English vocabulary.
In Newspeak, words like -freedom- have been struck from the dictionary altogeth
Peter Schiff Says Beware of Bitcoin!
In his latest video, Peter Schiff shares his thoughts on the bitcoin mania that is sweeping the world. After rising from less than $20 to more than $600 in one year, many investors are wondering if bitcoin might be worth the risk. Early adopters pitch bitcoin as "gold 2.0″ – a digital currency that cannot be manipulated like fiat money. Bitcoins are even "mined," similar to physical gold and silver. However, Peter explains why bitcoins still fail as a substitute for gold and strongly urges in
Why can't Germany get its gold back ! Interview with David Morgan
Gold was always considered as solid and save instrument. Many Countries currency was based on Gold reserves. People loved to make investment in Gold. But now this Gold is in crisis. These Gold crisis are linked with economic, financial, debt and currency crisis. Anyhow, too much dependence on one instrument always brings down fall.

The Single Biggest Reason Most Investors LOSE Money
It's almost never openly admitted in public, but the reality is that few if any investors actually beat the market in the long-term.
The reason for this is that most of the investment strategies employed by investors (professional or amateur) simply do not make money.
I know this runs counter to the claims of the entire financial services industry. But it is factually correct.
In 2012, the S&P 500 roared up 16% including dividends. During that period, less than 40%
Fiat Money Quantity hits new record
QE3 is running at $ 85bn, and directly increases FMQ by double that amount, or $ 170bn, indicating that other factors contributed $ 57bn to the FMQ total. This suggests that the current rate of QE was insufficient to provide the liquidity required in money markets consistent with current interest rates, at least for the month of September. However, bond yields are still high, despite the deferral of tapering, as shown in the second chart, which is of the US Treasury
India's Demand to Buy Silver Doubles on Gold Ban, Price Drop
Anti-gold rules force consumers to buy silver instead, imports double from 2012…
DEMAND to buy silver amongst Indian households has pushed the country's imports of the precious metal to twice last year's level and may set a record in 2013, according to industry experts.
Between January and September, silver imports to India totaled more than 4,000 tonnes, already beating full-year 2012 says the Thomson Reuters GFMS consultancy.

The adverse effects of monetary stimulation
By Alasdair Macleod There are two indisputable economic facts to bear in mind. The first is that GDP is simply a money-total of economic transactions, and a central bank fosters an increase in GDP by making available more money and therefore bank credit to inflate this number. This is not the same as genuine economic progress, which is what consumers desire and entrepreneurs provide in an unfettered market with reliable money. The second fact is that newly issued money is not absorbed into a
Simon Black – This one chart shows you who's really in control
Check out this chart below. It's a graph of total US tax revenue as a percentage of the money supply, since 1900.
For example, in 1928, at the peak of the Roaring 20s, US money supply (M2) was $ 46.4 billion. That same year, the US government took in $ 3.9 billion in tax revenue.
So in 1928, tax revenue was 8.4% of the money supply.
In contrast, at the height of World War II in 1944, US tax revenue had increased to $ 42
How to Legally "Opt Out" of Federal Income Taxes
If you're a retiree… or if you're simply looking to earn safe interest on your money… you have two enemies:
1. Federal income tax rates that can take a 20%-30% bite out of your earnings. In some cases, that number is as high as 40%.
2. Interest rates that are near record lows. Right now, you're lucky if you can make even 1% on your bank savings… And that's before taxes.
Fortunately, you can fix this situation quickly.
You just need to know how to legally "opt o
The United States: A Third World Economy in 20 Years
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), September brought 148,000 new jobs, enough to keep up with population growth but not reduce the unemployment rate. Moreover, John Williams (shadowstats.com) says that one-third of these jobs, or 50,000 per month on average, are phantom jobs produced by the birth-death model that during difficult economic times overestimates the number of new jobs from business startups and underestimates job losses from business failures.

12 Reasons Why Gold Price Will Rebound and Make New Highs in 2014
Investor sentiment towards precious metals is at the lowest level in over a decade. Many analysts believe the bull market is over and are calling for sub-$ 1,000 gold in 2014. Even diehard gold bugs are losing faith, as the correction has been longer and more severe than most had anticipated.
So, is it time to throw in the towel? Is the bull market in precious metals really over?
In order to answer this question, I thought it would be constructive to re-visit the fundamental d
Gold, Silver and the Debt Ceiling
Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
To paraphrase William Shakespeare, "the debt ceiling drama is a tale told by idiots, full of sound and political fury, signifying nothing." We now have a reprieve for three months – the 11th hour deal, complete with payoffs and the usual corruption, will keep the world safe for more ineptitude, deficit spending, administrative hypocrisy and the guarantee of a sequel.

China and gold
Xinhua, China's official press agency on Sunday ran an op-ed article which kicked off as follows:
"As U.S. politicians of both political parties are still shuffling back and forth between the White House and the Capitol Hill without striking a viable deal to bring normality to the body politic they brag about, it is perhaps a good time for the befuddled world to start considering building a de-Americanized world."
China does have a broad strategy to prepare for this event. She

Rich Dad Poor Dad: What the Rich Teach Their Kids About Money That the Poor and Middle Class Do Not! Apr 11, 2017
by Robert T. Kiyosaki
It's been nearly 25 years since Robert Kiyosaki's Rich Dad Poor Dad first made waves in the Personal Finance arena.
It has since become the #1 Personal Finance book of all time... translated into dozens of languages and sold around the world.
Rich Dad Poor Dad is Robert's story of growing up with two dads — his real father and the father of his best friend, his rich dad — and the ways in which both men shaped his thoughts about money and investing. The book explodes the myth that you need to earn a high income to be rich and explains the difference between working for money and having your money work for you.
20 Years... 20/20 Hindsight
In the 20th Anniversary Edition of this classic, Robert offers an update on what we've seen over the past 20 years related to money, investing, and the global economy. Sidebars throughout the book will take readers "fast forward" — from 1997 to today — as Robert assesses how the principles taught by his rich dad have stood the test of time.
In many ways, the messages of Rich Dad Poor Dad, messages that were criticized and challenged two decades ago, are more meaningful, relevant and important today than they were 20 years ago.
As always, readers can expect that Robert will be candid, insightful... and continue to rock more than a few boats in his retrospective.
Will there be a few surprises? Count on it.
Rich Dad Poor Dad...
• Explodes the myth that you need to earn a high income to become rich
• Challenges the belief that your house is an asset

Rich Dad's CASHFLOW Quadrant: Rich Dad's Guide to Financial Freedom Oct 27, 2015
( 3,948 )
Rich Dad's CASHFLOW Quadrant is a guide to financial freedom. It's the second book in the Rich Dad Series and reveals how some people work less, earn more, pay less in taxes, and learn to become financially free.
CASHFLOW Quadrant was written for those who are ready to move beyond job security and enter the world of financial freedom. It's for those who want to make significant changes in their lives and take control of their financial future.
Robert believes that the reason most people struggle financially is because they've been spent years in school but were never been taught about money. Robert's rich dad taught him that this lack of financial education is why so many people work so hard all their lives for money… instead of learning how to make money work for them.
This book will change the way you think about jobs, careers, and owning your own business and inspire you to learn the rules of money that the rich use to build and grow their wealth.
Padre rico. Padre pobre (Nueva edición actualizada).: Qué les enseñan los ricos a sus hijos acerca del dinero, ¡que los pobres (Spanish Edition) Mar 2, 2012
El libro #1 de finanzas personales
Una nueva edición revisada y actualizada del bestseller que revolucionó la forma de entender las finanzas personales. Las premisas que Robert Kiyosaki estableció en esta obra –primera de una serie de más de 50 títulos– han trascendido hasta hoy. Trece años después de su lanzamiento, sigue siendo el libro de finanzas personales más vendido.
El autor y conferencista Robert Kiyosaki desarrolló una perspectiva económica única a partir de la exposición que tuvo a dos influencias: su propio padre, altamente educado pero muy inestable y el padre multimillonario, sin educación universitaria, de su mejor amigo. Los problemas monetarios que su "Padre pobre" experimentó toda la vida (con cheques mensuales muy respetables pero nunca suficientes) rompían con lo que le comunicaba su "Padre rico": que la clase pobre y la clase media trabajan por dinero pero la clase alta, hace que el dinero trabaje para ellos.
Con ese mensaje clavado en su mente, Kiyosaki logró retirarse a los 47 años. Padre rico Padre pobre presenta la filosofía detrás de esta relación excepcional con el dinero. Este libro aboga de manera convincente por el tipo de "conocimiento financiero" que nunca se enseña en las escuelas. Basado en el principio que los bienes que generan ingreso siempre dan mejores resultados que los mejores trabajos tradicionales, explica cómo pueden adquirirse dichos bienes para, eventualmente, olvidarse de trabajar.
Robert T. Kiyosaki es un inversionista multimillonario, emprendedor, educador, conferencista y autor bestseller de la serie Padre rico Padre pobre. Después de retirarse, a los 47 años, fundó CHASFLOW Technologies y creó la Compañía de Rich Dad, que hoy en día ofrece a millones de personas en el mundo consejos para ser financieramente independientes. Robert ha escrito 16 libros que han vendido más de 27 millones de ejemplares en todo el planeta.

Rich Dad's Increase Your Financial IQ: Get Smarter with Your Money Sep 18, 2015
Many of our global economic problems started in 1971...when President Richard Nixon took the U.S. off the gold standard. Throughout history, when a government went off the gold standard, an age of turbulence began.
In 1997, Robert's book Rich Dad Poor Dad stunned readers stating, "Your house is not an asset." As howls of protest went up around the world, the book went on to become an international bestseller and the #1 personal finance book of all time.
Rich Dad Poor Dad is not a book on real estate. It is a book about the importance of financial education. Rich Dad Poor Dad was written to prepare you and your loved ones for the financial turbulence Robert's rich dad saw coming.
In 2007, as homes declined in value or were lost to foreclosure, millions of homeowners painfully discovered the wisdom of words of Robert's rich dad. Today we are all aware that a home can be a liability. Today we know a home can go up or down in value. Today, we all know a person can lose money investing in the stock market. Today we all know our money can go down in value and that even savers can be losers.
This is why financial intelligence is more important today than ever before. In a world of financial turbulence, your best asset is financial IQ.

Rich Dad's Guide to Becoming Rich Without Cutting Up Your Credit Cards: Turn "Bad Debt" into "Good Debt" Sep 18, 2015
There are "financial experts" who advise people to take out their credits cards and cut them up. And that may be a good plan for someone who is financially irresponsible, it's not great advice for someone who wants to build wealth and become financially free. Cutting up your credit cards won't make you rich; learning to leverage and manage debt will.
If a person has a solid financial education they will know that there are two kinds of debt: good debt and bad debt. A person who understands debt will know how to use good debt to make them richer faster. And when we take control and learn to manage bad debt, seeing it for what it is and understanding the toll it can take if abused, we are on the road to financial freedom.
Learn how to make your money work hard for you… instead of you working hard for money all your life. Understanding debt and how to use and leverage it is an important first step.
Por qué los ricos se vuelven más ricos: ¿Qué es realmente la educación financiera? (Spanish Edition) Nov 17, 2017
Hace mucho tiempo los ahorradores eran ganadores.
Hace mucho tiempo el ahorrador podía ahorrar y enriquecerse.
Hoy los ahorradores son perdedores.

Este libro es la escuela de graduados de Padre Rico, Padre Pobre. Si estás buscando nuevas ideas sobre cómo sobrevivir y prosperar en el futuro, este libro es para ti.
En este valioso libro, Robert T. Kiyosaki comparte los aprendizajes y lecciones que aprendió a lo largo de la vida, después de repetidamente hacerse la pregunta: "¿Cuándo aprenderemos sobre el dinero?"

- Por qué la brecha entre los ricos y todos los demás se amplía.
- Por qué los ahorradores son perdedores.
- Por qué la deuda y los impuestos hacen a los ricos más ricos.
- Por qué la educación tradicional realmente hace que muchas personas altamente educadas, como el Padre Pobre de Robert, vivan mal.

- Por qué la educación financiera real nunca se puede enseñar en las escuelas.

In a match that the No. 16 Harvard men's tennis team played for charity, it showed Penn State non of it, sweeping the Nitanny Lions, 7-0.
The Crimson and the Lions (5-2) met at the Sportsmen's Tennis Club in Dorchester to draw attention to collegiate tennis and the center's tennis program, which provides free lessons to urban youth from diverse backgrounds.
The match began with doubles play. Sophomore James Blake and co-captain Kunj Majmudar, the No. 2 doubles team in the country, defeated Penn State's top doubles team of Eric Meditz and Marc Dorfman 8-6. Although the final outcome was close, Majmudar and Blake were comfortable throughout, shrugging off mistakes and winning comfortably with an effective serve-and-volley game.
The Crimson's No. 2 doubles team did not fare as well. Co-captain Michael Passarella and sophomore Scott Clark lost 8-6 to Penn State's Jeffrey Martini and Damon Accardi.
The No. 3 doubles team of juniors John Doran and Joe Green salvaged the doubles point, however, defeating Penn State's Mike Griesser and Mike McCallister, 8-5.
In singles, the Crimson men rearranged their lineup and came out a winner with the new formula. Majmudar, currently the No. 31 player in the country, sat out his usual number two singles position.
"I have been feeling pretty sick all week and just didn't make it down to practice," he said.
Clark also sat out the singles portion of the match.
Blake, the No. 1 player in the country, continued his strong play in his win over Griesser, 6-0, 6-3.
Blake, who had played at the Sportsmen's Club in his youth, peppered the helpless Griesser with a combination of strong serves and crushing ground-strokes. When Griesser finally won a game in the second set, he threw his hands in the air as both Crimson and Penn State fans cheered his short-term success.
Filling in for Majmudar at second singles, Doran won easily over Penn State's Dorfman, 6-4, 6-3. Although Doran struggled in the early part of the first set, he jumped out to a 5-2 lead in the second before winning easily in the ninth game.
Passarella had a tougher time. Playing one position higher than his usual No. 4 spot, Passarella dropped the first set, 4-6, but came back to win the last two sets, 6-4, 7-6 (7-2) to defeat Eric Meditz.
After dropping his doubles match earlier in the day, Passarella seemed determined not to let the match slip away. Amid a chorus of grunts and screams Passarella proved victorious in a match that lasted nearly two hours.
Green moved from the number six singles position up to number four for Harvard and seemed to enjoy his new surroundings, defeating Martini, 7-5, 6-1.
There may be few certainties in life, but success for the Harvard men's tennis team is clearly one of them.
