Stock fraud is on the rise and with the rising technology fraudsters have come up with ways to deprive you on your stock money, but not anymore, the stock market attorney will help you to recover the money and possibly sue the broker, read more here.
When you have a fraudster who is depriving you of your profits, there first step is to look for a stock market attorney so that they can help you reclaim the lost money in the best possible way.
Some losses can be avoided only if the stock broker is careful and has not neglected their duties and if such a case happens where you have lost large amounts of stock money and missing a chance to invest in a powerful opportunity, you have every right to sue the stock broker.
The broker can mishandle your investments in various ways and for that reason since it is their mandate to ensure they tap for you all the profits and they fail to do that, the stock market attorney can be of help in suing the broker.
Stock market attorney helps you to determine the misconduct which could be mismanaging the funds, violations of the trading systems, foreign corruption practices and excessive markup and an attorney from Savage Villoch Law firm, check this homepage, will be of help for instance.
It is hard to prove at times how the stock brokers mishandled your funds but either way there is a case of mishandling and negligence and you cannot be able to pursue the theory and the reality on your won without the help of a stock market attorney.
A stock market attorney has extensive knowledge with investment losses and especially from Savage Villoch firm who have brought cases in the court and won, thus is by gathering relevant documents and paperwork to determine the case.
Since the stock market case requires the right document s to be presented to court, the stock market attorney will sift through them and pick the ones that will hold water and sustain the case to the end.
With the help of the stock market attorney you expect anything positive unlike when you are dealing with the matter individually, the reason being cases are nasty and the broker will definitely deny any wrongdoing, but with a qualified stock market attorney you expect positive results, see more here.

2 reservations need only 1, should I keep the other for any reason?
I could play the lottery until my date comes up, but really do not see a reason to keep the order alive.
Any thoughts, please be serious if you reply.
If you need the $1000 now, cancel your reservation and don't look back. Food on the table today, and a roof over your head, trump a new toy.
If you don't need the $1000 (it'd just go into the rainy day fund in the bank), then I'd leave the reservation until I was forced to make a decision. The 1% interest you might get from a savings account (oops, just checked mine - 0.05% is my current rate) won't buy you a hamburger and a coke between now and commitment day. You never know what might happen in life that might make that second car a reality. Worst case, you cancel 9 months from now.
Unless you are a current owner or employee near the factory, I doubt there will be any way to sell your car for a premium as there will be many out there already. You certainly will not make enough to cover title/taxes.
A few of the first Model X deliveries were sold at more than cost, maybe a dozen folks with Ford buying two at $200K. Many tried to get crazy money, but the crazies went away after a couple months.
Get your $1K back and help someone near the bottom of the list get their car sooner.
I agree if you don't need the money, keep it. But that would depend on if down the road you thought you'd keep it for yourself as a second car, or for a family member. You can delay your order (I think once?) to give you more time. If your only reason for possibly keeping it is to resell though, then no, I'd cancel.
I bet with the M3 they will not allow delay. Too labor intensive for the volume Tesla will be pushing at that point.
For the MS and MX, you can get one delay always and sometimes two.
@Reeler how is it labor intensive to allow a delay?
Any family member that might want to use the reservation?
@starke49 One reason to keep the second reservation would be to use it as an easy upgrade.
Buy the first car and delay the second. This gives you some time to evaluate how the vehicle works for you. Then you either Love it the way it is and ask for your 2nd deposit back OR you use your second reservation as a chance to change your options. (paint, battery size, etc...) and then sell the first car. As others have mentioned i doubt you could sell the car for a profit but given the high demand you should be able to sell the first car for a very small loss.
Lets face it, we have no idea what the end product even looks like let alone how it performs, i see your second deposit as cheap insurance on getting exactly what you want.

Terminals like this will be Brendan Ross' home for the next month. Photo: Flickr/ecnerwal.
Remember the guy we told you about who desperately wanted someone to buy him a JetBlue unlimited travel pass? The guy who actually thinks flying every single day for a month will be fun? Well, he got his ticket.
We're the suckers who bought it for him.
Meet Brendan Ross, Wired.com's Terminal Man. The 28-year-old Texan is waiting for the feds to grant a security clearance so he can begin working as an air traffic controller. Until the FAA makes sure he's never applied for a position with the North Korean government, Brendan has no money, no responsibilities and a severe case of wanderlust. He figured jetting around for a month would pass the time, but he couldn't swing the ticket. We got wind of him after reading his funny Craigslist ad and offered him a job blogging about his adventures exploring JetBlue's route map.
Sounds like a cushy gig, no? Well, wait until you hear the rules. We aren't gonna make this easy on him. And we're going to let you, our dear readers, help us decide where he should go and what he should do.
Now then. About the rules. First and foremost, if he's not on a plane, he's in an airport. No hotels. Before you jump all over us for this, it was Brendan's idea. He told us he feels leaving the airport is cheating.
Second, he can't check any bags. Again, this was his idea. He carries everything with him.
Third, he has to fly every day if possible, with a planned itinerary of as many as 68 flights. Like Biff Henderson, he has to comply with any zany antics we foist on him, from getting the nicknames of every captain he flies with to finding the JetBlue E190 Sarah Palin chartered. He is totally cool with this, and in fact told us he would wear a chicken suit. (He owns one. Seriously.) We told him that wouldn't be necessary. Still, he's fully aware of just how grueling this will be.
"There's definitely a concern over the toll that so many flights will take," Brendan told us. "Add into that the physiological toll of sleeping in airports every night, being surrounded by people that usually don't want to talk to you…. It won't be a walk in the park."
No, it won't. The only thing that might save him from insanity is you. We're inviting readers to participate in Brendan's journey, but without sleeping in chairs and eating soggy overpriced Wolfgang Puck Express sandwiches. Let us know where you want him to go and what you want him to do. Follow his journey on Twitter and bring him some real food and a bar of soap if your paths cross. If he's feeling generous, you might even get some cool Wired swag.
Surprisingly, Ross doesn't seem too worried about any of this.
"A lot of people can relate to getting caught for a few hours, overnight, maybe even a day or two," he told us. "This is taking it to an extreme, setting me out there with just what you'd find in a typical carry-on."
While that guy who lived on an AirTran plane for a month at least got to put his seat in the reclined position once the plane took off, Brenan is stuck with long nights in terminals. He's a self-styled Mehran Karimi Nasseri or Hiroshi Nahara.
"That's usually going to mean hitting up those long, black and chrome seats you find everywhere," he said. "Once in a while I might have to manage outside if the airport kicks me out for the night. That's all right. I've been on some extended backpacking trips, and have slept in places worse than what you'll find in public airports. I have the feeling that the uglier the conditions are, the more interesting of a story it'll make."
Luckily for his fellow passengers and those brave Wired.com readers who venture into arrival lounges to meet him, Brendan says he'll maintain decent personal hygiene even without the benefit of a shower. How? We're not sure.
"I don't want to tip my hand just yet, but I will say that people aren't going to be uncomfortable sitting next to me once I get three weeks into the trip," he said. "I've had to share rows before with those guys with visible stink lines. It sucks, I know. I don't plan on imparting that experience onto anyone else."
Aside from overzealous TSA agents in tiny airports that aren't used to overnight guests, Brendan says the biggest hassle will be all the time away from his wife. "It was a downer at first, but we were able to come up with a free frequent flier ticket and cheap airfare to one of my stops, so I'll actually get to see her two or three times, albeit briefly," he said.
The great adventure begins when Ross leaves Austin, Texas on Sept. 8. He'll meet the Wired.com crew in San Francisco, then take to the air. We want you to help us decide where he goes and what he does. Use the Reddit Widget below to suggest destinations and stunts, and vote on your favorites.
Nothing too sadistic, please.

Premiums of organ donation lag a ways at the back of the expanding desire. before everything of 2006, greater than 90,000 humans have been ready to obtain a fantastic organ (kidney, liver, lung, pancreas, center, or intestine). "Organ Donation" examines quite a lot of proposals to extend organ donation, together with regulations that presume consent for donation in addition to using monetary incentives equivalent to direct funds, assurance of funeral costs, and charitable contributions.
Other similar studies can be found in the literature: for example, Biometrics, Biometrika, Cancer, Journal of Chronic Disease, Journal of the National Cancer Institute, American Journal of Epidemiology, Journal of the American Medical Association, and New England Journal of Medicine.

66 Best Christmas Movies for Kids Who've Been Very Good This Year
New and old, for toddlers to teens, there's a family-friendly holiday film for everyone on your list.
By Marisa LaScala
When there's tinsel everywhere, the smell of gingerbread in the air and the wisps of leftover wrapping paper hanging around, you know it's that time of year: Time to start planning the annual holiday movie marathon. And while there's nothing wrong with staying in your comfy holiday jams and just watching whatever Christmas rom-com is playing on the Hallmark schedule, if there are kids involved, they're probably not going to be on board.
Luckily, kids' holiday movies are some of the best Christmas movies of all time. When you're looking to gather the family around with freshly popped popcorn strings and mulled wine (just kidding — we all know it's really juice boxes and whatever Clif bar you have on-hand), these are the best Christmas movies for kids to watch with the whole family in 2022. Some focus on the joys of the holiday, playing up the themes of family togetherness and generosity. Others are Christmas comedies that go more for the big laughs. We shied away from Christmas horror, though there are plenty of movies on here that have ghosts, if that's what you're in the mood for. (So. Many. A Christmas Carols!) Whether you're looking for a family-friendly holiday movie on Netflix, on Disney+, on HBO Max, on Amazon Prime Video or any other service, this list of the best Christmas movies for kids — listed in chronological order of release, with the most recent first — is sure to have something that'll please everyone in your family.
Scrooge: A Christmas Carol (2022)
Wait, you thought Spirited would be the only musical Dickens adaptation of 2022? Think again! What does this one have to offer? A killer soundtrack, to start. Theater legend, composer and Oscar winner Leslie Bricusse — known for, among other things writing Bond themes like "Goldfinger" and "You Only Live Twice" — has re-imagined songs for this adaptation.

The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special (2022)
No one knows how, but somehow the Guardians of the Galaxy have become the Marvel heroes most associated with Christmas. First, they get their own LEGO advent calendar. Then, they have a holiday special coming to Disney+! But will Groot get to wear holiday lights?
WATCH ON DISNEY+
The Hip-Hop Nutcracker (2022)
It's The Nutcracker like you've never seen it before! Run D.M.C.'s Rev Run presents a version of the story that takes place starting at a block party in New York City. The cast is stacked with amazing dancers, including Caché Melvin as Maria-Clara, Allison Holker Boss and Stephen "tWitch' Boss as Mom and Pop, Comfort Fedoke as Drosselmeyer, Du-Shant "Fik-shun" Stegall as the Nutcracker and even the Jabbawockeez as magical snowflakes.
A Christmas Story Christmas (2022)
Yana Blajeva/HBO Max
Actor Peter Billingsley reprises his role as an all-grown-up Ralphie in a sequel to A Christmas Story. There is currently no word whether the leg lamp will return, too, though. Vince Vaughn, Julie Hagerty and Zack Ward also star.
WATCH ON HBO MAX
Spirited (2022)
There have been film adaptations of Dickens' A Christmas Carol going back as far as 1908, and there's something to recommend in pretty much all of them. This one stars Ryan Reynolds as a hard-hearted "unredeemable" and Will Ferrell as the Ghost of Christmas Present. It promises big laughs, and bigger musical numbers with songs by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, who did the songs for Dear Evan Hansen and The Greatest Showman. (Note: It's rated PG-13, and has lots of bad language and a couple references to sex, so save it for the older ones.)
WATCH ON APPLE TV+
Shaun the Sheep: The Flight Before Christmas (2021)
Fans of the delightful Shaun the Sheep and Shaun the Sheep: Farmageddon already love this set of plucky barnyard animals who often get into mischief, but work together to get themselves out again. (And if you're not already a fan, you're lucky you get to experience them for the first time.) For their holiday adventure, they have to save the smallest sheep from accidentally becoming a Christmas present. It's only 30 minutes, so it's good for the littlest ones on your list.
Robin Robin (2021)
Netfllix
Like Shaun the Sheep, Robin Robin is made by Aardman Animations, the creators of Wallace and Gromit. Only instead of clay, Robin Robin has more of a flocked, felted, cozy feel. The 30-minute story follows a bird who was raised by mice and believes she's more of a mouse than she is, which gets her in trouble on a winter day. It was nominated for an Oscar for Best Animated Short.
A Boy Called Christmas (2021)
Based on the best-selling novel by Matt Haig, this starts off before Santa Claus even exists. It tells the story of Nikolas. a boy who loves toys, who goes on a search for a legendary place called Elfheim. He heads North, befriends a reindeer and — can you see where this is going?
8-Bit Christmas (2021)
There may be some among us who (ahem) remember the acute feeling of yearning for an 8-bit Nintendo Entertainment System for Christmas. In this movie, Jake (Neil Patrick Harris) tells the story of the Christmas he had when he was 11, when all he wanted was an NES of his own. This movie is for anyone who remembers where all the warps are hidden in Super Mario Bros., and all the kids of anyone who has to listen to stories about where the warps were hidden.
Home Sweet Home Alone (2021)
The '90s kids who remember Home Alone should clap their cheeks and yell, "Ahhh!" at excitement for this reboot. Only instead of the McCallister clan, this time the action switches to the Mercer household. There, a young Max Mercer (Archie Yates from Jojo Rabbit) has to defend his home against a couple looking to retrieve a priceless artifact while his family is in Japan.
The Claus Family (2021)
To be related to Santa — that's big shoes to fill! This movie, which was originally Dutch, follows a holiday-hating teenager named Jules who discovers his grandfather is the real Santa Claus. Not only that, Santa needs his help! If your kids take to it, there's also a sequel, The Claus Family 2.
LEGO Star Wars Holiday Special (2020)
Star Wars tried to do a holiday special — pardon, a 'Life Day' special — back in 1978, and it was a notorious flop. What they needed was a big dose of zany LEGO humor. In this hourlong special, Finn, Poe and Rey try to gather for a Life Day party (and some delicious tip-yip), but Rey keeps getting distracted trying to find a Jedi temple. The search takes her all over the Star Wars timeline, and teaches her a lesson about home and family (but in a funny way).
Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey (2020)
Gareth Gatrell/Netflix
Not only is this an original story — hooray for something other than another Scrooge adaptation — it has original music, too, with songs by courtesy of John Legend, Philip Lawrence and Davy Nathan. One is even performed by Usher! In the film, when a toymaker (played by Forest Whitaker) has his prized creation is stolen by a former apprentice (Keegan Michael-Key), his inventive granddaughter (Madalen Mills) goes on an adventure to get it back.
Dance Dreams: Hot Chocolate Nutcracker (2020)
For anyone who's ever wanted a peek behind the scenes at a big, holiday dance performance, Dance Dreams is the documentary to watch. It simultaneously covers the career of acclaimed choreographer Debbie Allen while following preparations for her yearly Hot Chocolate Nutcracker, so you get a lot of great dance moments.
Noelle (2019)
Cate CameronDisney
So many movies focus on passing on the Santa mantle from father to son, but what about the daughters? In this movie, Santa's son (Bill Hader) disappears right as he's supposed to take over the big job, so his daughter, Noelle (Anna Kendrick) has to step in and save Christmas.
When this came out in 2019, it made such a splash it was nominated for an Oscar for Best Animated Feature. (It lost to Toy Story 4, but won the BAFTA.) And when you watch it, you can see why: It's a gorgeous animated feature about a postal worker who befriends a lonely toymaker. (Hmm ... wonder what happens next.)
The Nutcracker and the Four Realms (2018)
The Nutcracker is so imaginative, but you don't really get to spend so much time in the Land of Sweets. The Nutcracker and the Four Realms takes you further into that world when Clara takes another wonder-filled journey. She starts to suspect that Mother Ginger is a danger to the Realms, but is there really something else going on?
WATCH ON PRIME VIDEO WATCH ON DISNEY+
The Christmas Chronicles (2018)
This Netflix original movie follows two kids who accidentally crash Santa's sleigh, and then have to go on an adventure-filled mission to save Christmas. A sequel, The Christmas Chronicles 2, continues the story.
Dr. Seuss' the Grinch (2018)
For those who want to see more of the Grinch, this movie — from the studio that brought us the Minions — offers a feature-length glimpse of his life. Benedict Cumberbatch provides the voice of the Mean One.
WATCH ON PRIME VIDEO WATCH ON ITUNES
Angela's Christmas (2018)
This movie is based on another story by Angela's Ashes author Frank McCourt, titled Angela and the Baby Jesus — so named because, in it, Angela decides that the Baby Jesus in the manger must be cold, and takes it upon herself to remedy the situation. There's a sequel, 2020's Angela's Christmas 2.
Olaf's Frozen Adventure (2017)
nullDisney
When Anna and Elsa realize that they have no family holiday traditions, Olaf goes on a mission to find them some. As he visits the townspeople and asks them about their family customs, kids will be reminded of their own cherished rituals. It's only a half hour long, so it's good if you just need something quick to throw on for fast holiday cheer.
RELATED: 25 Animated Christmas Movies That Are Too Cute to Resist
DreamWorks: Home for the Holidays (2017)
Fans of the sweet but under-the-radar Home movie and Home series on Netflix will love this 45-minute special, where well-meaning alien Oh decides to bring Christmas to his fellow Boovs (with disastrous results).
All I Want for Christmas Is You (2017)
Mariah Carey does the voice of this movie's main character, a little girl who wants a puppy for Christmas, but it's really worth watching to get your kids as into the song as you are.
Trolls Holiday (2017)
This isn't explicitly about Christmas: Feeling guilty that she took away the Bergens' only holiday, Poppy undertakes a mission to find a new yearly tradition for her friends. It's about fun and celebration without any of the typical Christmas-movie tropes.
Duck the Halls (2016)
In this 22-minute special, Donald decides to stick around to experience a wintry Christmas rather than fly south for the winter. But Ducks don't deal well in the cold, and the whole thing results in a silly, over-the-top comedy about trying to give Donald the Christmas he deserves. This is done in the style of The Wonderful World of Mickey Mouse, with the same, more mischievous humor.
Fans of The Snowy Day picture book — and who isn't? — get to see it a short, small-screen version courtesy of Amazon. Join Peter as he crunches through the snow on a walk to bring Christmas Eve dinner to his grandmother's house.

The Christmas Project (2016)
Covenant Communications
This film follows the boisterous Buckley family of four brothers. They have a tradition of secretly delivering presents to a different family each year, and 11-year-old Matthew is dismayed to find out his mom picked the family of the worst bullies. While you can probably guess what happens from there, it's a nice reminder that everyone deserves a little empathy at this time of year.

Santa's Apprentice (2015)
This international film, originally done in French, is about Santa's need to find someone to take over after he retires (which, by the way, he doesn't want to do). After this movie was released in its native France, it won the Annecy International Animation Festival's prestigious UNICEF award, which honors animators who focus on children's rights. If your kids find it charming, there's a sequel: The Magic Snowflake.
Get Santa (2014)
This is like a Bad Santa for the PG-set, with lots of rude humor, so you might want to save it for your older ones. The British film is about a dad who is just released from prison, and he's determined to walk the straight and narrow with his son — until Santa lands in jail and needs their help.
Black Nativity (2013)
Director Kasi Lemmons (Eve's Bayou) directs this adaptation of the Langston Hughes classic. It's about a boy whose mom, in danger of losing their home, sends her son to go stay with his grandparents. where he learns about community and family. Hughes' words are set to gospel music for a song-filled film.
This version of the North Pole uses a highly trained team of elves to take care of Christmas business, but when one gift is left behind it's up to Santa's hapless son, Arthur, to make sure no kid goes without a present. Arthur's underdog status makes his journey feel extra triumphant.

Prep & Landing (2009)
Similar to Arthur Christmas, this short adventure goes behind-the-scenes with an elite squadron of elves as they prepare for Santa's arrival and maintain the security of the North Pole. Created by Disney, it has a lot of the same snap and wit as the Disney shorts that are shown theatrically before movies. Two sequels, Prep & Landing: Operation Secret Santa and Prep & Landing: Naughty vs. Nice, are also on Disney+.
Disney's A Christmas Carol (2009)
If you like the look of motion-capture animation, in this film Robert Zemeckis — who directed the Back to the Future movies— uses the innovative technology on Jim Carrey, who takes on multiple roles in the Dickens classic.
Who doesn't love a good, gentle Curious George adventure? In this one, George gets into some trouble, as he always does, trying to figure out what to get the Man in the Yellow Hat for Christmas. This is a good one for the toddlers and other real littles out there.
Santa Buddies (2009)
A spin-off of the Air Bud movies, this film follows a group of pups who are tasking with helping revive the Christmas spirit. You can follow it up with the prequels, The Search for Santa Paws and Santa Paws 2: The Santa Pups.
A Muppets Christmas: Letters to Santa (2008)
The Muppets star in a 45-minute TV special for viewers with shorter attention spans. (Doesn't Kermit look great in a Christmas sweater?) The special follows the Muppet friends as they try to re-deliver lost letters to Santa.
The Polar Express (2004)
Before A Christmas Carol, Zemeckis's The Polar Express used innovative motion-capture animation to really make it feel like Tom Hanks has been transported into the beloved Chris Van Allsburg book. The North Pole has never looked so beautiful, either.
Elf (2003)
Don't be surprised if you catch yourself watching this one even if your kids aren't around — it's so funny, it's easy to forget that it's only rated PG.

It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie (2002)
If your kids are Muppet fans and want to see something in addition to their version of A Christmas Carol (more on that in a bit), It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie does a Muppety take on It's a Wonderful Life instead.
Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas (1999)
This is an anthology of three Christmas stories starring kids' favorite Disney characters. If your kids love it, there's also a sequel, Mickey's Twice Upon a Christmas, that follows the same anthology format.
Annabelle's Wish (1997)
Hallmark Home Entertainment
This one-time, direct-to-home video movie stars a calf who wants to be one of Santa's reindeer. Everyone tells her that her dream won't come true, but will Santa actually need her help to drive his sleigh? This one is narrated by Randy Travis and also features country music.
Jingle All the Way (1996)
Arnold Schwarzenegger has defeated Predators. He's beaten Terminators. But Jingle All the Way knows that he's still no match for the mob who wants to buy the hottest toy of the year on Christmas Eve. Use this as a reminder to get your shopping done early.
The Santa Clause (1994)
Everybody knows Santa is a magical, all-powerful being, but nobody really thinks about what it actually takes to do his job. This movie, about a divorced dad who unexpectedly has to become the next Santa, is great for those with questions about the inner workings of the North Pole. Watch it and the sequels, The Mrs. Clause and The Escape Clause, and the new TV series, The Santa Clauses.
The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993)
For those who need a little dose of Halloween to cut through the Christmas treacle, this stop-motion movie from the mind of Tim Burton shows what happens when vampires, skeletons and witches take over the Christmas season. Songs by Danny Elfman, especially "What's This?" are good enough to earn a spot on your yearly holiday playlist.
The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992)
Michael Caine stars as Scrooge in this Muppet adaptation of A Christmas Carol. Unlike other Muppet holiday specials, The Muppet Christmas Carol is feature-length, so it's better for kids who have longer attention spans. For hardcore Muppet fans, starting in December, Disney+ will be offering a "restored" version of the film, featuring "When Love Is Gone," a song that was cut from the theatrical version.
Home Alone (1990)
Okay, the best parts of this movie are about how 8-year-old Kevin sets a series of booby traps to stop a pair of robbers from a home invasion, which isn't exactly in the Christmas spirit. But the experience does teach him to appreciate being with his family during the holidays, which is something we all need to be reminded of once in a while. And if you already watched the reboot and this film and still want more child antics, there's always the sequels: Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, Home Alone 3, Home Alone 4: Taking Back the House and Home Alone 5: The Holiday Heist.

Prancer (1989)
Rudolph usually gets all the glory, so it's nice to see one of the other reindeer get the spotlight for a change. And since the movie is about an 8-year-old girl nursing a wounded Prancer back to health and returning the animal to Santa, it has a good message about being giving and caring during the holidays.
Nutcracker: The Motion Picture (1986)
Fans of the Tchaikovsky classic can watch the Pacific Northwest Ballet's production, which features designs and costumes by Where the Wild Things Are's Maurice Sendak.
The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus (1985)
Rankin/Bass
It just isn't the Christmas season until you watch a Rankin/Bass stop-motion holiday special — and, luckily, there's quite a few of them. This one is based on a biography of Santa written by The Wizard of Oz author L. Frank Baum.
Gremlins (1984)
Who wouldn't want a Mogwai under their tree? Gremlins is like Die Hard for children — an action/adventure that takes place around the holiday season, so you can use that as an excuse to re-watch it every year even though it's only tangentially related to Christmas.
A Christmas Story (1983)
A Christmas Story is simultaneously very nostalgic and completely unromantic about the holidays. It looks like a Norman Rockwell version of Christmas, but Ralphie and his family find as many ways to ruin the holidays as celebrate them — something we can all relate to.
Mickey's Christmas Carol (1983)
For kids, the best Ebenezer Scrooge is the Scrooge they already know — Scrooge McDuck — who does a fine job inhabiting the role of the famous miser in this kid-friendly abridged version of Dickens' tale. It gives you all of the essential Christmas Carol elements in just half an hour.
The Snowman (1982)
Frosty isn't the only snowman that's ever come to life. This gentle adventure tale is based on the beloved Christmas book by Raymond Briggs, and its near-wordlessness and short running time means its appropriate for your youngest little elves.
Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas (1977)
This hourlong special combines some of the best things you can put into a holiday movie: Jim Henson puppets (including a Kermit narrator), a Gift of the Magi-like story and, of course, singing woodland creatures. The songs were written by Paul Williams, who has contributed some of the best Muppet songs (including "Rainbow Connection").
The Year Without a Santa Claus (1974)
Rankin/Bass Productions
Another Rankin/Bass classic, this one is famous for its two villains: Heat Miser and Snow Miser. They're the ones stopping two elves named Jingle and Jangle from delivering toys after Santa decides to take a year off.
Santa Claus Is Coming to Town (1970)
Fred Astaire narrates this hourlong Rankin/Bass story, which looks into the origins of many Christmas traditions. Watch out for the Winter Warlock!
Frosty the Snowman (1969)
It's impossible to watch this one without getting the song stuck in your head, so be prepared to thumpity-thump-thump your way through the rest of the day.

The Little Drummer Boy (1968)
Go behind the story of the timeless Christmas carol with this half-hour special, about a boy who meets the Wise Men on the way to Bethlehem.
By now, there are lots of different movies about our favorite three-decker toadstool and sauerkraut sandwich (we didn't even mention the one that stars Jim Carrey), but our hearts grow three sizes whenever we see the gorgeous Chuck Jones animation in this '60s special.
Christmas isn't always jolly for everyone 100% of the time, and we've all had Christmases that just didn't go our way. It's nice that A Charlie Brown Christmas gives kids permission to feel a little melancholy — and then gives them the spirit to keep going.

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (1964)
Another Rankin/Bass classic, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer is a good one to start with because as Rudolph teams up with a group of misfit toys, it teaches kids to be accepting of their differences.
Just like in the the 1934 version, storybook characters like Mother Goose, Tom Piper and Little Boy Blue get mixed up in nursery-rhyme antics that end in a march of toy soldiers that puts any Nutcracker display to shame.
White Christmas (1954)

It's a Wonderful Life (1946)
Kids might not grasp all the nuances of George Bailey's embezzlement predicament, but they do understand the themes of being grateful for what's important to you in life. It'll also have them thinking of angels whenever they hear jingle bells.
March of the Wooden Soldiers (1934)
John Kobal FoundationGetty Images
In many parts of the country, it's a tradition to watch this movie on Thanksgiving, so it's not only one of the best Christmas movies, it's one of the first Christmas movies of the season. Comedy duo Laurel and Hardy are a riot as bumbling toymaker apprentices.

They should be raising interest rates but they will not be doing that. They are just bluffing about interest rate hikes because they want to pretend that the economy is actually strong enough to absorb higher interest rates. But the economy is a gigantic bubble and if the Federal Reserve raises interest rates, they are going to prick it.

Garganta la Ollа (conocida en la Edad Media como Ad Fauces) es un municipio español de la provincia de Cáceres, Extremadura. Pertenece a la comarca de la Vera y al partido judicial de Plasencia.

El municipio tiene más de 1000 habitantes y se sitúa al oeste de su comarca, protegido por la sierra de Tormantos, una estribación de la Sierra de Gredos. Las localidades más cercanas por carretera son Jaraíz de la Vera y Cuacos de Yuste. Suele situarse en Garganta la Olla la leyenda de la Serrana de la Vera.

Situación
Está situado en la comarca de la Vera, a pocos kilómetros del Monasterio de Yuste. Desde un punto de vista geológico, destacan como su nombre indica, sus gargantas. Limita con los términos municipales de Piornal, Cabezuela del Valle, Pasarón de la Vera, Jaraíz de la Vera, Cuacos de Yuste y Aldeanueva de la Vera. Está rodeada por la sierra de Tormantos, proviniendo de allí el término Olla.

Historia

Edad Antigua
La zona ya estuvo poblada desde antiguo, como lo demuestra la presencia de varios castros vettones. En tiempos visigodos existían dos monasterios de cierta fama, en la actualidad lamentablemente derruidos, el de San Martín de Tours y el de San Salvador.

La primera población del término se conoció como Ad fauces (de faux, faucis) que significa junto a las gargantas. En la actualidad, la población, que es de fundación altomedieval, se conoce como Garganta la Olla debiendo este apelativo a la orografía del lugar. Se encuentra en la confluencia de dos gargantas, la Mayor y la de San Blas. Es muy probable, que el nombre original de la garganta Mayor, fuera el de la garganta de la Olla, y que el pueblo fundado, en origen se llamara, el pueblo de la garganta de la Olla. Lo cual indicaría además que en algún tiempo, la región se conoció como La Olla.

Edad Media

Aguas abajo de la garganta Mayor existen los restos de una población más antigua conocida como Carnaceas. Dado que el cambio de la población fue a una zona más elevada y segura, es posible que Carnaceas se tratara de alguna población ocupada por las tropas de AlfonsoVI o fundada en la época, que posteriormente fue destruida por los almorávides. El término Carnaceas, se relaciona con el de carnicería, en relación con la matanza que tuvo lugar. Queda ahora la duda, si aquella población fue la original Ad fauces.

Entre AlfonsoVI y AlfonsoVIII, las tierras volvieron a pasar a manos cristianas, creándose en un feudo fronterizo bajo la titularidad de Fernán Rodríguez de Castro.

El municipio terminó siendo incorporado al reino de Castilla en algún momento de finales del siglo XII, por el rey de Castilla Alfonso VIII. Estas tierras fueron colonizadas por contingentes de colonos del Reino de Castilla, en su gran mayoría de las sierras de Ávila, localidad a la que en un principio perteneció. Se da el caso, que estos repobladores, ganaderos principalmente, tenían mayoritariamente un origen vasco-navarro, al igual que la mayor parte de las poblaciones repobladas en las sierras abulenses.

Respecto a la teoría del origen altomedieval de la población Garganteña, a partir de población de Caparra, hay que considerar dos detalles, por una parte que Caparra en esta época estaba casi desploblada, y por otra, que las tierras de Caparra pertenecían al reino de León.

La población formaba parte de lo que se conocía como el Sexmo de la Vera, asociación de pueblos para la administración común de bienes, que fue asignado a la Ciudad de Plasencia, bajo la forma del Sexmo de Plasencia. Dicha ciudad organizó la localidad, ejerciendo jurisdicción sobre ella. La presencia de algunos apellidos toponímicos castellanos, navarros y vascos (Curiel, Mayora, Lerga, Acedo, Carrondo, Redondo, Bolivar entre otros) parece apuntar que no se limitó a una mera organización de la población preexistente, sino que trajo pobladores de los reinos de Castilla y de Navarra.

En 1340, Alfonso IX, la cedió a los infantes de la Cerda, como agradecimiento por el reconocimiento que le hicieron como monarca en Almendral. La ciudad de Plasencia, se negó a perder su jurisdicción sobre la población imponiéndoles pagos por el aprovechamiento de los recursos de la localidad, con tal virulencia, que los naturales se quejaron a los infantes de la Cerda y amenazaron con la despoblación. Estos a su vez lo hicieron al rey de Castilla, que por entonces era EnriqueII, el cual amonestó a la ciudad. Más tarde perteneció al Marqués de Villena. D. Diego López Pacheco marqués de Villena, perdió la posesión del término, que paso de nuevo a la corona, como motivo de haber apoyado a Juana la Beltraneja en la batalla de Toro. Quedando los marqueses como meros administradores de justicia civil y criminal a través de personas nombradas por ellos para el cargo. Esta situación se prolongó hasta el siglo XIX.

Edad Moderna

Plasencia, por su parte, intentó recuperar su jurisdicción sobre Garganta hasta finales de la edad media. Ocupó terrenos del término, que fueron recuperados por la población gracias a diversos pleitos ganados entre los años 1490 y 1493. La ciudad tuvo que repartir los terrenos que había ocupado entre los garganteños y pagar los gastos de los pleitos. Es de destacar que en 1492 se dio incluso un enfrentamiento armado entre los dos bandos; la ciudad por una parte y los que apoyaban el señorío por otra. Estos últimos organizados en lo que llamaron "Guerrilla de San Martín" y apoyados por tropas del conde de Oropesa, plantearon combate sirviéndose como protección de las murallas del antiguo monasterio de San Martín y resultaron vencedores.
Hasta el año 1772 merced a una executoria, consiguió el distrute del aprovechamiento integral de tierras y pastos.

Siglo XIX

No parece que fuera especialmente dañada durante la Guerra de independencia, ni que se rebelara, como hicieron otros pueblos de la zona contra las tropas de Napoleón. Tampoco es de destacar que se viera afectada por las guerras carlistas.

A la caída del Antiguo Régimen la localidad se constituye en municipio constitucional en la región de Extremadura que desde 1834 quedó integrado en Partido judicial de Jarandilla que en el censo de 1842 contaba con 360 hogares y 1972 vecinos.

Siglo XX

Durante la guerra civil, la población cayó bajo el control del bando sublevado, no registrándose confrontaciones armadas en la zona, si exceptuamos las posteriores relacionadas con la lucha del maquis.

A lo largo del siglo XX, fue perdiendo población por emigración en un proceso que aún no ha parado y que ha supuesto la reducción del número de habitantes a la tercera parte de los que eran en el sigloXIX. La mayoría de los emigrantes se trasladaron a las grandes ciudades (Madrid, Bilbao y Barcelona) y en el extranjero a Holanda, quedando una numerosa comunidad de garganteños y descendientes en Eindhoven.

En 1982 fue declarado Conjunto Histórico-Artístico.

Demografía

La siguiente tabla recoge la evolución demográfica de Garganta la Olla desde 1996 a 2006 según los datos facilitados por el Instituto Nacional de Estadística español.

Según el último padrón municipal (2011), los datos de la población garganteña desglosados son los expuestos en la imagen de la derecha:

Población total: 1023 - Hombres: 541 - Mujeres: 482

Naturaleza

Garganta la Olla goza de una situación geográfica envidiable, en cuanto a naturaleza se refiere, rodeada por gargantas naturales y montañas. Cabe destacar las piscinas naturales, entre las que sobresalen los charcos de "las pilatillas", divididas en "pilatillas de abajo" y "pilatillas de arriba", "el calderón" (dominado por una bella cascada), el charco de "la valentina", y por último y como charco más cercano a la localidad, el charco "tinajón", lugar frecuentado antiguamente por las mujeres del pueblo para lavar las ropas. Aparte, el pueblo está protegido por una estribación de la sierra de Gredos conocida como la Sierra de Tormantos, cuyo pico más alto se encuentra a 1664 m sobre el nivel del mar (en comparación con los 600m a los que se encuentra la localidad). Este pico más alto, se corresponde con el conocido como "canchal negro". Además, cabe destacar dentro de la sierra de Tormantos, la ermita de San Salvador, que data de la edad media y de la que aún hoy se conservan ruinas, así como más partes de la Garganta, como la chorrera de Mayo, la chorrera de Pivilla, y el "nacedero", lugar de nacimiento de la garganta.

El pueblo es muy rico en senderos, caminos y rutas naturales, entre las que destacan la ruta hacia la ermita de San Salvador, y la subida hacia la cueva de la Serrana de la Vera, esta última realizada en agosto, durante los festejos de Día de la Serrana de la Vera.

Quema del Judas.
La noche del Sábado Santo al Domingo de Resurrección, tras la vigilia pascual, sale a la calle la Procesión del Encuentro en la que la imagen del Niño Jesús, que hace las veces de Resucitado, acompañado por los hombres realiza un recorrido y la imagen de la Virgen, de luto, acompañada por las mujeres realiza otro distinto, encontrándose ambas procesiones en la plaza, donde el sacerdote retira el manto negro a la Virgen, para, seguidamente, regresar juntas a la iglesia.

A continuación, en la plaza, da inicio, tras la quema de fuegos artificiales, de una batalla pirotécnica en la que los participantes se lanzan petardos unos a otros. Una vez gastada toda la munición de los participantes, se saca y se cuelga en la "horca" un palo que previamente, ese mismo día ha sido colocado en medio de la plaza, el muñeco de Judas, un pelele de varios metros confeccionado con sacos y relleno de paja y petardos, y allí colgado se le prende fuego con el consiguiente estruendo que provoca la explosión de los petardos de los que está relleno y la algarabía de los presentes en este momento.

Lunes de Piedra. Romería de San Martín.
El Domingo "in albis", segundo Domingo de Pascua, por la tarde, se traslada la imagen de San Martín desde la ermita del Cristo hasta la iglesia parroquial.

El Lunes por la mañana se lleva en procesión la imagen del Santo desde la iglesia parroquial hasta una pequeña capilla situada en el paraje conocido como "El Robledo", a unos 2 km. aproximadamente de distancia del pueblo, en dicho paraje, al término de la procesión, se celebra la misa de campaña y a continuación se guarda la imagen del santo en la pequeña capilla, mientras la gente se dispone a pasar el día en el campo, comiendo y bebiendo, también se organiza un baile con charanga en la pista de baile y la barra que para tal función se acondicionó en el lugar.

Por la tarde, la imagen del santo se devuelve procesionalmente a su ubicación habitual en la ermita del Cristo, donde, al llegar se celebra el "besapiés" dándose así por concluida la fiesta.

Fiesta de Santa Isabel.
Es la fiesta principal del pueblo y tiene lugar los días 1, 2, 3 y 4 de julio, en ellas destacan la danza de las italianas y los festejos taurinos. Está dedicada a la Visitación de la Virgen, popularmente conocida como "Santa Isabel y su Prima":

1 de julio. Día de la víspera.
Por primera, salen las italianas a mediodía, recorriendo las calles del pueblo anunciando la fiesta. En el portal de la iglesia, mientras repican las campanas, realizan un ensayo general de la danza, y nuevamente vuelven a recorrer las calles del pueblo. En esta salida las italianas visten un traje que se caracteriza por el refajo de colores bordado.

Ese mismo día, por tarde, vuelven a salir las italianas recorriendo las calles del pueblo y acudiendo a la iglesia al rosario, a continuación se dirigen a casa del primer mayordomo, quien les ofrece un refrigerio y, una vez repuestas las fuerzas, de nuevo recorren las calles del pueblo para, a la caída del sol, en el portal de la iglesia, otra vez, mientras repican las campanas, realizan un nuevo ensayo general de la danza. En esta ocasión, lucen un traje distinto, caracterizado por el uso de la falda plisada de color azul.

2 de julio. Día de la Virgen.
Cuando todavía es de madrugada salen las italianas, recorriendo una vez más las calles del pueblo, anunciando el inicio del día grande de la fiesta, al amanecer, en el portal, mientras repican las campanas, realizan el último ensayo general de la danza y a continuación se dirigen a al casa del segundo mayordomo, que les ofrece el desayuno. En esta salida visten otro traje diferente, caracterizado nuevamente por el refajo o guardapiés de colores bordado. En esta salida portan por primera vez el peculiar gorro con espejo y un ramillete de flores y que llevarán durante todo el día, hasta que finalicen los actos.

Mitología

La población es muy rica en cuentos y leyendas, como ya apuntara Don Miguel de Unamuno. Una de esas leyendas alcanzó fama ya en el sigloXVI y dio lugar al Romance de la Serrana de la Vera, que escribieron Luis Vélez de Guevara en 1613 y Lope de Vega en 1617. Como obra literaria, parece que ambos deformaron el mito de la Serrana, dándole una apariencia real, cuando parece ser que el personaje nunca existió, sino que se trata de un ser mitológico que incluso se identifica con un centauro. Varias son las leyendas con motivo religioso como la muy conocida leyenda de los Siete Obispos Mártires, según la cual, en tiempos de la invasión islámica, siete obispos se refugiaron en un monasterio San Salvador donde fueron encontrados por los musulmanes y asesinados. Antes de morir uno de los obispos enterró las sagradas formas a unos metros de la cabecera de la iglesia, de donde brotó una fuente que aún sigue manando. Este monasterio dio lugar con posterioridad y ubicado a menos altura al monasterio de Yuste.

Otras hacen referencias a seres fantásticos (mitología extremeña); entre ellos a los duendes, los cuales imponían juramentos que de no cumplirse acarreaban la infertilidad. El duende o duendes de Garganta la Olla, ha sido descrito por los que lo han visto e incluso se cuenta que a principios del sigloXX varios vecinos de Garganta persiguieron a uno de ellos, cuando impuesto el juramento a una mujer, intentaron acabar con él para evitar la maldición (a este duende se le conoce como el de San Martín, porque fue en dicho paraje donde se le vio). El duende o los duendes se corresponden con un ser de aproximadamente unos 40 centímetros de altura, con cuerpo de forma humana, de un color verde especialmente brillante por la noche y que cuando es descubierto, huye muy rápidamente a cuatro patas, y esto es todavía más extraño, no en línea recta sino en zigzag.

En relación con la mitología romana o prerromana, existe también una leyenda que versa sobre una especie de ninfa o dama encantada. Según esta, por San Juan se aparece una mujer de gran belleza que sale de las aguas de la Garganta Mayor. Dicha mujer propone al hombre que la encuentra que la libere de su hechizo. Para liberarla, tiene que amarla. Por otra parte, le da a elegir entre su amor o tres puñales de oro y piedras preciosas de gran valor. A los hombres, les termina venciendo la codicia sobre el amor y eligen los tres puñales. La mujer se los da y vuelve a sumergirse en las aguas. Pero la codicia les lleva a la ruina, porque a la mañana siguiente, aparecen con los tres puñales clavados en la espalda.

Otro ser fantástico de la zona es una especie de serpiente peluda y que algunos describen además con cuernos, que llaman el bastardo. Es de gran tamaño y solía acudir por las noches a robar la leche de las vacas, las cabras e incluso se atrevía con las mujeres lactantes. La mordida de este animal suele ser mortal; además se defiende pegando fuertes golpes con la cola (este mito con el nombre femenino de bastarda, también se encuentra registrado en ciertas regiones de Aragón). Lo más probable es que se trate de la culebra bastarda (Malpolon monspessulanus), culebra que puede alcanzar hasta dos metros y medio de tamaño, a la que se le habrían asignado características mítico-mágicas.

También las hay que hacen mención al diablo. De estas leyendas una de las más conocidas es aquella que dice que se apareció con forma de mujer enlutada a un cabrero en la sierra. El cabrero la invitó a calentarse al fuego y el diablo se sentó. En medio de la conversación, el cabrero se agachó a azuzar la llama y descubrió horrorizado las patas de cabra que le asomaban a la mujer por debajo de las faldas. Dicho hecho se repitió con otros dos vecinos del pueblo, quien aseguraban haber visto a la diabólica criatura en la sierra de Tormantos. Otra historia trata sobre un cabrero, que cogió un chivito recién parido a cuestas, y cada paso que daba notaba que iba pesando más y más; al girar la cabeza descubrió horrorizado que a quien cargaba no era al chivito, sino al diablo.

Aunque aquí las hemos descrito como leyendas, los vecinos del pueblo dan testimonios con nombres y apellidos de las personas que han visto o les han narrado sobre dichos seres.

Si bien, hay leyendas más mundanas como la de los aparecidos. Dado que las huertas seguían turnos de riego, a algunos les tocaba por orden regar por las noches. Otros más avispados, se disfrazaban de fantasmas y asustaban a los que les tocaba el turno, para de esta forma poder regar ellos más.

Existían varias fiestas relacionadas con los solsticios, una de ellas que se ha perdido, consistía en hacer una pequeña figura que representaba al diablo y que era quemada por la noche. Afortunadamente se conserva la Quema del Judas, en la que cada Sábado Santo de madrugada se hace explosionar en la plaza del pueblo a un espantajo relleno de petardos y fuegos artificiales.

La Serrana de la Vera

El mito más famoso de Garganta es el de la Serrana de la Vera: se trata de una hermosa mujer con apariencia de cazadora o de amazona de fuerza sobrehumana y ciertas características sobrenaturales que vive en los montes y lleva a los hombres con los que se cruza a su cueva para matarlos (a menudo después de emborracharlos o haberles hecho el amor) y guardar los huesos en la cueva.

Posee cierta relación con la tradición de las "serranillas" medievales, a lo que se añadirían otros componentes míticos para forjar el mito actual de la Serrana.
A raíz de este mito surgieron numerosas obras literarias, destacando el Romance de La Serrana de la Vera:

Deportes

Fútbol sala
Desde el año 2011 la localidad cuenta con un equipo de fútbol sala llamado «Garganta F. S.» el cual juega en la 1.ª división extremeña.
En la temporada 2011-2012 el equipo jugó su primera temporada oficial quedando en quinto puesto, lo que no les valió para quedar en puestos de play-off de ascenso.
En la temporada 2012-2013 el equipo jugó en la misma categoría que la temporada anterior.

Históricamente, ha contado con equipos amateur de balonmano y el ciclismo está comenzando a tomar parte dentro de las actividades deportivas del pueblo gracias, sobre todo, al gran número de senderos naturales y caminos rurales de los que la localidad dispone.

Arkham city is a bustling hub of commerce and industry, however Arkham is also a center of eldrich lore: home to Miskatonic University, an institution of higher learning with one of the most complete libraries of arcane literature in the world. In the span of two generations the town was built up to the status of prestige it now commands, an expansion helmed by the Hadou Group, an industrial complex and family dynasty currently run by the young Hadou Ruri. She pursues the peace and prosperity of Arkham diligently, against the forces of darkness threatening to plunge the city, and the world, back into a second dark age. Among the most sinister threats to Arkham City is the evil Black Lodge syndicate. Led by the charismatic Master Therion, his nihilistic outlook shapes the group's destructive goals: with a circle of powerful sorcerers at his command, the potential for sowing chaos in the city is unmatched.
Former Miskatonic University Magic Academy student Daijuuji Kurou knows little of grimoires, but what he does know terrifies him - enough that he left his university life behind, and now practices a failing detective business in the shelter of an orphanage in a quiet corner of Arkham. But just when he thought his Academy past was buried, it catches up with him and pulls him back into the dark shadows of the occult: Hadou Ruri herself appears at his door with an offer he can't refuse. The only way to combat the Black Lodge's growing magical power is to find, and retrieve, a grimoire with the power to activate the mightiest Machina of all: Demonbane. The quest to find this forbidden tome will change Kurou's destiny... forever.

Pakistan Vs Bangladesh
PCB asks Bangladesh counterpart to explain reasons behind not playing Tests in Pakistan
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has once again asked its Bangladesh counterparts to explain the valid reasons behind their reluctance to play the Test matches in the country.

Notably, the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) is adamant that its country will only visit Pakistan to play a three-match T20I series in January, while they have agreed to play a two-Test series against Pakistan only at the neutral venue over security concerns.
In the wake of Bangladesh's refusal to travel to Pakistan for the longest format of the game, a senior PCB official asked its counterparts to provide the reasons for their refusal to fulfill their obligation under the ICC Future Tour Programme (FTP).
"We received an email from the BCB on Tuesday and today [Thursday] we have responded to them. Obviously, this series is important to both the countries who need Test cricket. Besides, this is also part of the ICC World Test Championship, so the ICC is also a stakeholder in this," the Dawn quoted the PCB official as saying.
"In the past few years, we have demonstrated to the world that Pakistan is as safe and secure as any other cricket-playing country and we need to know what are the BCB's reasons for not sending their players for an extended stay," he added.
The PCB official further asked the BCB to visit Pakistan and have a discussion with them if they have any concerns regarding the security of their players.
"We have also offered the BCB that if they have any concerns, they should visit Pakistan and discuss the matter with us so that we are able to convince them and provide better guidance. The discussions are ongoing and we remain confident that the BCB will review their decision," he added.
Meanwhile, the PCB also reminded its Bangladesh counterpart that Sri Lanka, who were targeted by the terrorists in March 2009, recently completed an incident-free two-leg tour of Pakistan--including a Test series.
Sri Lanka had visited Pakistan for three-match ODI series in Karachi and three-match T20I series in Lahore in September and October before playing a two-match Test series in Rawalpindi and Karachi in December.

If Lan Yu had not said what she had said earlier, the little assistant would not have believed An Zihao's words, but…it was obvious Lan Yu did indeed have the intention to make her take on the blame.
"It's not that she doesn't have one, it's just she doesn't need one…" An Zihao laughed at himself. He too had experienced a scandal years ago. Back then, it stirred up an argument between him and Yun Xin resulting in one death and one injury. He never imagined, Tangning would be able to counterattack so smoothly. She only said one sentence and without even making an appearance, she managed to completely turn the tables, placing Lan Yu under her control.
This woman, was indeed amazing. As for him, all he wanted to do now, was give back Tangning what he owed her.
"Firstly, do you actually want to take the blame for Lan Yu? Do you want to be scolded by everyone? Secondly, as long as you are willing to speak up, I will help you leave Star Age and get you a job in Cheng Tian," An Zihao handed his business card to the assistant to prove his identity.
Meanwhile, on the same day at 6pm, a report from Lu Che about Lan Yu's school life was sitting atop Mo Ting's office desk. The report was extremely detailed.
So, it was this immature little girl that tried to bully Tangning!
"Yes. But president…have a look at this," Lu Che handed some information over to Mo Ting. Lan Yu's assistant had stepped out to admit that Lan Yu had swapped out her gift to frame Tangning. If Blair's evidence wasn't enough, this statement was enough to completely shred away Lan Yu's mask.
Mo Ting processed this information straight away. Afterwards, he guessed that the biggest possibility was the manager Lan Xi had arranged for Tangning, An Zihao.
An Zihao was once famous in Cheng Tian for being extremely capable. However, those days were long gone, so Mo Ting was doubtful of his abilities.
Two international superstars partaking in a film in the US had been injured in an explosion scene. The news was currently going viral and the production company was blaming Hai Rui's actors for not following procedures. They were demanding them to compensate for all losses.
Mo Ting didn't normally deal with issues like this, but…this project was Hai Rui's main project for the next half of the year. Plus, the person acting as a mediator was his friend. So, under these circumstances, it made sense for him to make a personal appearance.
Mo Ting gestured for him to stay quiet as he made a phone call to Tangning.
"I might not be able to come home. I have to immediately fly out to the US. Something urgent has happened," Mo Ting explained.
"Is it really serious? Must you go immediately?" Tangning was alert as she sat up on the sofa.
"I'll help you find your passport and help you pack a few clothes," Tangning did not say much more as she stood up and returned to the bedroom to help Mo Ting pack his luggage. Half an hour later she had driven her way over to Hai Rui. Mo Ting personally came down to greet her.
Mo Ting took one glance at Tangning. He removed his jacket and wrapped it around her before they both boarded the car.
Mo Ting remained silent as he intertwined his fingers with Tangning's. Even though he wasn't dealing with a big matter, but with Tangning by his side…he didn't have to worry about her. So, he was able to better focus on the issue and handle it better.
Seeing his handsome face soften, Tangning couldn't help but smile; she knew she had made the right decision. She didn't want to give up any chance she had to stay by Mo Ting's side through important situations.
A person, on the other hand, is different , she thought. There was only one Mo Ting. If she lost him, then that would be it.
"OK, then I won't force you. But, are you aware of the fact that Zihao helped you?" Lan Xi was glad that there was still someone capable of moving An Zihao's frozen heart.
"No, I had no idea," Tangning replied swiftly.
Tangning hung up Lan Xi's phone call exhaustedly.
"Mrs. Mo, you are being too impulsive," Mo Ting teased with a smile.


Golden Age of Piracy by Hugh F. Rankin, report that the book is a 173-page study of piracy in the New World from the 1630s to the 1720s.
Book reports or world history research papers on The Golden Age of Piracy, by Hugh F. Rankin, report that the book is a 173-page study of piracy in the New World from the 1630s to the 1720s. It offers a concise but full description of the political climate that gave rise to privateering, piracy's slightly more respectable cousin, as well as to piracy itself.
By describing the poor conditions that were the lot of the ordinary seaman, Rankin makes the reader understand why so many sailors gladly bore the risks associated with the crime of piracy. The book report should show that Rankin is now a professor of history at Tulane University in New Orleans, but a major portion of his life has been spent in the Carolinas, the central site of pirate activity in the New World.
There are copious illustrations, some more successful than others.
Rankin's sources include a comprehensive assortment of contemporary documents, including the transcripts of various pirates' trials. Overall, an interesting and well-written account of piracy up and down the Atlantic coast, The Golden Age of Piracy belongs on the bookshelf of any serious student of American history.
The Pirates of the New England Coast research papers examine the book by Dow and Edmonds on piracy.
History of Piracy Research Papers examine an order placed on History of Piracy with specific template requirements.

US video game sales hurt by lack of hits
By Barbara Ortutay | May 16, 2009, Saturday | Print Edition
LACKING the big hits that made last year a standout, United States video game sales dropped sharply in April for the second month in a row as customers continued to watch their wallets.
Market researcher NPD group said yesterday that retail sales of game software, hardware and accessories dropped 17 percent last month, to US$1.03 billion. Software sales plunged 23 percent to US$510.7 million, more than many analysts had expected. Hardware sales, meanwhile, declined 8 percent to US$391.6 million.
A major culprit for the year-on-year decline was last year's launch of blockbuster "Grand Theft Auto IV," which raked in more than US$500 million within a week of its launch in April, 2008.
The handheld Nintendo DS was the month's best-selling gaming system, which was not a surprise considering the recent launch of the new DSi model.
In all, Americans bought more than 1 million DS systems in April. Of these, Nintendo said about 800,000 were sales of the new DSi, a slimmer, more interactive version of the system that includes two digital cameras.
Nintendo's Wii console came in a distant second, selling 340,000 units. The company estimates it has about a 70 percent share of the US gaming hardware market.
Microsoft Corp's Xbox 360 sold 175,000 units, only slightly more than the nine-year-old PlayStation 2 from Sony Corp.
"This is a testament to the impact a price reduction can have on hardware acquisition, with price being only second to compelling new content as a catalyst for hardware sales," said NPD analyst Anita Frazier.


When your garage door isn't working as it should, you need a professional on your side who will work hard to fix the problem quickly. At Affordable Garage Door, Inc., we have just the team of experienced garage door experts you're looking for.
Broken garage door springs. Faulty springs can be extremely dangerous. While in most cases, the spring breaks once the door is already closed (preventing it from reopening), in some cases, the spring may break while the garage door is ascending or descending, resulting in the garage crashing closed and creating a major hazard and risk of injury. While some people try to repair garage door springs that are broken themselves, doing so is very risky! The best thing that you can do when a garage door spring breaks is to keep your distance from the garage door, refrain from trying to open or close it, and immediately contact a garage door professional.
Broken garage door panels. Like everything else in life, garage door panels age, and as they do, they break down. Rather than replacing your entire garage door (when it is otherwise in good shape), we can repair or replace sections, or panels, of your garage door. Usually, garage door panel repair or replacement is necessary when a garage door panel is dented or cracked, or when a garage door panel is out of alignment. This latter problem can be especially pressing, as a garage door panel out of alignment will put pressure on another part of the garage door, which can then lead to a whole range of other problems.
Broken garage door rails. The rails are the part of the garage door system which hold the garage door in place, allowing it to smoothly open and close. If your garage door comes off of its rails, you should contact our team at Affordable Garage Door, Inc. right away. Remember, it is not just enough to have garage door rails -also known as garage door tracks – that are securely in place; your garage door must be able to travel through those tracks smoothly. If there is a problem, we will immediately get to work on correcting it so that your life can go back to normal and your family isn't at risk of a garage door injury.
One of the most common reasons that people contact our Hebron professionals is that their garage door won't open. When a garage door won't open, it is often because of defective rails or springs, but may also be something to do with the garage door opener or another part of your garage door system. Whatever the issue, we will diagnose the problem quickly and competently, and repair is effectively.
Contact Our Hebron Team Today!
We live by our name – our services are affordable, and we always get the job done right. If you have questions about garage door repair or are in need of immediate services, contact us today at 219-696-4279, or tell us about your garage door needs using our online form.
