In an alternate timeline, Eddie Murphy helped save the whales in Star Trek IV
Mike Vanderbilt
Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home
Stardate, November 29, 2016.
President-elect Eddie Murphy sits pensively behind the desk in his Washington office. When asked about taking on the biggest job of his career, he lets out that familiar laugh, stating that he's "been playing a con man most of his life." The A.V. Club sat down with the comedian-turned-politician in an exclusive chat, in which the former actor recalls the role that changed his life—and America.
"I almost turned down Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home," Murphy explains to The A.V. Club. The Voyage Home is arguably the most (literally) down-to-earth film in the Star Trek franchise, and featured the crew of the Starship Enterprise traveling back in time in order to save the future by bringing a pair of humpback whales back to the 23rd century. (When the film was being written, the humpback whale was considered an endangered species, although now, thanks to President-Elect Murphy, their conservation status is listed as "least concern.")
According to his eventual co-star Leonard Nimoy in 2008, the filmmakers were looking to use Murphy as "a fun human guy who was interacting with these guys from outer space." Murphy was one of Paramount's biggest draws at the time, signing an exclusive contract with the studio in 1983 on the heels of Trading Places, and the concept of basically dropping Axel Foley into a Star Trek film appealed to the studio. Murphy was not as receptive to the idea at first.
"I was a big Trekkie, and they were like, 'okay, we are going to develop something with you' and they wrote something where they come back to San Francisco," explained Murphy to Access Hollywood. "Then they were like, 'and you are going to be the jive dude in San Francisco with Spock,' and I was like, 'I don't want to be the jive dude with Spock, I want to have pointed ears and a phaser and I want to beam and I want to do all of that.'"
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the film went through "somewhere between seven and 10 outlines." "The original draft included a part for Eddie Murphy," explains Steve Meerson, who co-wrote the environmentally conscious screenplay with Peter Krikes. Murphy's role was intended to be that of a Berkeley astrophysicist that helps the Enterprise crew rescue the whales. The script was then passed onto Wrath Of Khan director Nicholas Meyer to "Trek this up," per producer Harve Bennett. "From what I've read online and what I know we did, the process of 'Treking it up'—I don't think there were very substantial changes from what we had handed them," explains Meerson. Eventually, Nimoy and Bennet received "story by" credit, while Meerson, Krikes, Bennett, and Meyer are all credited with the screenplay.
As we all know, President-Elect Murphy, despite misgivings about his character, eventually signed onto the project. The Voyage Home was a huge hit for the studio, and sparked crossovers for some of Paramount's other big hits, including Top Gun: Kobayashi Maru, Ferris Bueller's Day At Camp Crystal Lake, and Crocodile Dundee Meets The Beverly Hills Cop. Murphy, however, left acting shortly after to pursue a career in politics. Inspired by The Voyage Home's environmental message, Murphy became a big name in the Green Party, which led to his landslide victory against Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election.
"Come on, man, anybody with an ounce of charisma would have beat both of those clowns," Murphy tells The A.V. Club. "Can you imagine a world where Donald Trump, a WWE superstar, is president and I'm cashing checks making dumb kids' flicks? This is a guy that talks about pussy more than I did during Raw. That's certainly not the future that Gene Roddenberry imagined with the original Star Trek series, so I'm thankful for the role. It had—what's that called—a butterfly effect."
On the notion of space exploration and perhaps even time travel in his administration, Murphy displays that sense of humor that shot him to superstardom during the Reagan administration. "Never say never. I mean, I think NASA is an important part of making America great again, but you can imagine me and the real Captain Kirk, traveling through time to make right what once went wrong? That sounds like some bullshit," Murphy tells The A.V. Club with a wink and a laugh.
Vice President-elect William Shatner declined to comment.

Pro-free speech London protest against Conservative government, 27 May
This video from England is called People's Assembly Against Austerity March Demo Protest; London 21st June 2014.
From daily The Morning Star in Britain:
People's Assembly targets No10 for Queen's speech
ACTIVISTS will descend on Downing Street in a mass protest on the eve of the Queen's speech, it was announced yesterday.
People's Assembly Against Austerity is calling on activists to assemble at Downing Street on Wednesday May 27 for 5.30pm before marching to a rally at the nearby Emmanuel Centre in Westminster for 7pm.
"We've just heard that a Counter-Terrorism Bill will be included in the Queen's speech," People's Assembly national secretary Sam Fairbairn told the Star.
"This divisive piece of proposed legislation will only serve to fuel Islamophobia in communities across the country and cripple freedom of speech.
"You can expect that this will be the thin end of the wedge over the next five years of Tory rule. Next they will start legislating against the spread of left-wing activism and viewpoints like some 21st-century thought police."
The Counter-Terrorism Bill will give police powers to apply for High Court orders to limit "harmful activities," designed to limit the spread of extremism.
It comes before the national End Austerity Now demonstration on Saturday June 20 at the Bank of England.

From the USA:
Fellow activist:
On Wednesday, the House passed the USA Freedom Act, which reauthorizes portions of the Patriot Act through 2019. The Act was billed as a way to put limits on the Patriot Act, but it doesn't go nearly far enough in protecting Americans' civil liberties. That's why I voted no.
House progressives have proposed a real solution: The Surveillance State Repeal Act, which would do exactly as it says: Repeal the Patriot Act. This month, the Progressive Fund is teaming up with RootsAction to urge Congress to take action on ending mass surveillance by repealing the Patriot Act and passing the SSRA.
Under the USA Freedom Act the NSA is still able to access Americans' privileged phone conversations as long as they have a reasonable suspicion that those conversations are related to international terrorism. That's an incredibly flimsy level of justification that can be easily abused.
Congress should be considering legislation that truly protects Americans' privacy, and this legislation does not go far enough. Sign our petition urging Congress to pass the Surveillance State Repeal Act and repeal the Patriot Act once and for all.

MANCHESTER People's Assembly has led the way in offering free coach travel to London to attend the national anti-austerity demonstration, writes Alana MacAskill.
A limited number of return tickets are available free on a first come, first served basis and then at up to £10 for students and low-waged workers, making the trip to the June 20 event possible for many Manchester residents.
Nottingham People's Assembly has followed suit, offering return travel for £13 and the option of funding someone else.

THE Tory Party has suspended the national committee of its youth wing en masse amid claims that complaints of "institutionalised bullying" were repeatedly ignored.
The move follows claims by a former chairman of Conservative Future that he raised concerns with the party high command on numerous occasions but that the issue was "swept under the carpet."
Ben Howlett said he had raised concerns about what he described as "institutionalised bullying" with Conservative Campaign Headquarters over a period of years, but they were consistently ignored.
Mr Howlett, who was elected MP for Bath at the general election in May, told BBC2's Newsnight that there had been a "huge range of complaints" — including allegations of inappropriate advances to women activists.
"It was unfortunately swept under the carpet in the big scheme of things, because the party didn't want to end up having the general election result lost I can imagine, and you don't want to talk about those kind of thing whilst an election is going on," he said.
The Tories also announced yesterday that a senior aide, Mark Clarke, who is facing complaints of bullying and inappropriate behaviour, has had his membership cancelled for life.
Mr Clarke, who strongly denies the allegations, had previously been suspended following claims that he had bullied a young activist, Elliott Johnson, who subsequently committed suicide.
Further allegations about Mr Clarke, who ran a campaign which mobilised young activists to lobby in marginalised constituencies, emerged over the weekend.
In a statement, a Tory Party spokesman said: "The national committee of Conservative Future has been suspended further to a decision by the board of the Conservative Party."

Grief is a painful process. It seeks an outlet, rummages through the meat and blood of your bones, pierces your skin and organs to find a way out into the cruel, open world. It's also different for everyone; some go through the entire process, while others may get stuck in one stage far too longer than the others. The why's and how's of grief ranges from a scale of highly superficial to excruciatingly deep. Regardless of which, it is almost always associated with pain and loss: the loss of something valuable, or the loss of someone dearly precious.
Right now, I'm in the third stage, transitioning to the fourth.


Contrary to popular belief and theoretical underpinnings of grief and bereavement, there is now an (overdue) acceptance that there is no 'one-size-fits-all' approach to grief and bereavement. It is as individual as the people who experience the loss. It is my intention to discuss the process of grief and bereavement gently, and to bring some current thinking to this very heartfelt topic.
In the past there was the long held view that grief followed a predictable emotional path from distress to 'recovery'. Kubler-Ross (1969) talked about the five stages of grief, ie. Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, and Acceptance. There was the idea that successful grieving required 'letting go' of the deceased/loved one. It is important to recognise that Kubler-Ross was describing the process she observed in terminally ill individuals in coming to terms with their pending deaths. She was not talking about survivor grief.
Changes in theoretical ideology supported by recent research suggests that grieving should be considered as an active process involving four tasks: (1) accepting the reality of the loss, (2) processing the pain of grief, (3) adjusting to a world without the deceased/ loved one (both internally, externally and spiritually), and (4) finding an enduring connection with the deceased/loved one in the midst of embarking on a new life. (Worden, 2008).
Who was the person to the bereaved?
It is now argued that after a death, bonds with the deceased do not necessarily have to be cut, and that there is a potentially healthy role for maintaining an ongoing bond with the deceased/loved one. By doing this there is the knowledge that death ends a life, not necessarily a relationship. Instead of saying goodbye or seeking 'closure' there exists the possibility of room for the deceased/loved one to be both present and absent. The relationship remains a personal one where talking to the deceased is seen as a spiritual connection. This may also be experienced through dreams, visiting the grave, feeling their presence or through creating and participating in rituals that maintain the links with the deceased. When considering this response to grief/bereavement, an important factor as to whether the grieving has become complicated is whether the expression reflects an attempt to maintain a more 'concrete' tie where there is a refusal to give up the presence, or regain physical closeness to the deceased/loved one.
Across a variety of different losses, research suggests that the failure to find meaning following the loss, especially in terms of trying to make sense of the death itself, may lead to higher levels of complicated grief symptoms. This is where the grief/bereavement process is protracted and usually accompanied by losses that are unexpected and premature.
Many years ago, Viktor Frankl, a highly regarded psychiatrist and author based his research and writings on his experiences as a concentration camp inmate (WW II) and man's search for meaning. He believed that the need to find meaning in life (and death) through personal experiences is a search that is universal. So, in the face of loss of a loved one, this is what is sought. For many the effort to make sense of death can be fruitless. Instead, the focus becomes one of trying to make sense of life, learning how to focus on and force something positive to come from the life of the deceased and the legacy he/she left behind and honouring that life.
1. It takes time to work through your grief.
Grief takes up your energy physically, emotionally and psychologically. Grief requires time, lots of time. One to two years is not a long time in allowing time to work through grief. There are the memories, meanings and finding a way through this painful process.
2. It's OK to enter the emotions of grief.
It is natural to want to avoid painful emotions. In losing a loved one, you deserve to allow yourself to feel the full range of emotions – sadness, anger, feelings of intense longing, guilt and others.
3. I'll get by with a little help from my friends.
4. Keep a check on your health.
Bereavement is a time of taking care of yourself as grief takes a toll on you emotionally and physically. You have been wounded on a number of levels. Grieving places a heavy burden of stress on your body. It can cause sleep disturbances, weaken the immune system and exacerbate health problems. Give yourself time and space to begin the healing process. Rest, healthy eating, and 'time out' are essential in your recovery.
5. Alcohol and substance abuse only mask the pain.
Try and resist the temptation to take drugs or use alcohol to numb your pain. These can interfere with the grieving process by delaying it or masking the pain. Where depression is being experienced, alcohol can make the situation worse.
6. Keep in touch with your Doctor.
Ensure you see your doctor regularly to have health check-ups. He/she will monitor any existing health problems, prescribed medications and adjust them according to your needs; for example, blood pressure, insomnia, anxiety, depression and the like. Sometimes short term medication may be needed to assist you in the recovery process.
Having mixed emotions (involving positive and negative feelings), especially in situations where issues remain unresolved after an argument or physical/emotional absence complicates the grieving process. There will be feelings of remorse, guilt, anger and so much more that comes into play where sudden death has occurred. Sharing these feelings with a mental health professional can help.
8. One step forward then one step back.
The grief process often includes some setbacks. Be patient with yourself and others. Grief cannot be considered as a linear process. There will be twists and turns. Trying to set deadlines in matters of grief is unrealistic.
Reminders, being task focused, and placing grief on the backburner, may hinder the healing process.
9. Stuck in the well of grief.
If feeling stuck with no way out of your grief, consider a new approach. Trying to avoid pain is a very normal reaction, however, if immobilized, try to 'kick start' the grief/bereavement process by visiting and reviewing personal memorabilia. For example, looking at photo albums, home videos and movies containing happy images of your loved one. Do talk about your loved one especially at those occasions where his/her absence will be felt. It is a positive opportunity to share and provide mutual support.
10. Rituals and Traditions are a part of life.
Our lives are enriched by personal and family rituals; those special occasions that we share with loved ones. There is no greater way to honour our loved ones than to continue the traditions that bind us. It also opens the door to create new ones that will continue to strengthen the ties of the past, present and future. This is the ending of one phase of our lives and the beginning of a new one. Create a legacy.
No one escapes this life without the experiences of grief and loss.
12. Connect with your spirituality.
With death there is the question of why. Use your own sense of spirituality to explore what death or loss means to you and your spiritual self. Pray, meditate and spend time with nature. Mindfulness practices help us stay in the moment and to accept that our existence is one of impermanence.
13. Grief affects people differently.
Some people let everybody know how they are feeling; others don't like to make a fuss. Women and men are treated differently in society. With this in mind, they may express their grief differently. Culturally, different nationalities, cultures and religions see death, loss and grief in a specific way, based on their own beliefs and view of the world.
Once again, there is no timetable to grief/bereavement as it is such a personal journey, but it does sometimes pay to listen to the concerns and observations of people around you. Don't hide your grief from others who are about you, especially your children. By hiding your grief you may be conveying a message to them that it is wrong to grieve openly, or to 'inflict' your grief on other people. Children need to know that grief is OK.
15. No guilt in having fun or laughing.
It is not unusual for someone who has suffered the loss of a loved one to feel guilty for laughing or having fun, or enjoying anything. Would your loved one want you to not laugh, to not have fun? Would you wish that on them if the situation was reversed? Of course not. What you are doing is honouring the life of your loved one. When your loved one was alive, you shared laughter, joy and life. This is their/your legacy.
One of the greatest things we can do for ourselves and to honour our loved one is to stay in touch with the people you both shared your life with. Be prepared to reach out because they have lost someone dear to them too. This is particularly the case as the population ages and the numbers of friends dwindle.
17. We are bound by attachments in life.
At some point those who have lost their partner may face the decision of whether to be open to a new relationship. If one considers the situation reversed, that is, if you died and your partner survived, what would you want for them? It may help you to see your situation from this angle.
18. To move or not to move.
It's usually not a good idea to make major life changing decisions in the first 6 – 12 months after a loss. It is often better to delay such thoughts until your life is back in balance again.
20. To everything there is a season.

My book, "Pioneers and Partisans: An Oral History of Nazi Genocide in Belorussia," analyzes how the first generation of Soviet Jews experienced the Nazi genocide and how they remember it in a context of social change. Based on oral histories, video testimonies, and memoirs produced in the former Soviet Union, I show that the young Soviet Jews' struggle for survival, and its memory, was shaped by interethnic relationships within the occupied society, German annihilation policy, and Soviet efforts to construct a patriotic unity of the Soviet population.
I elaborate this point by showing the significance of individual and collective efforts and reproductive labor for the struggle for survival, in hiding places and partisan formations, and how these efforts were subsequently erased in the construction of the Soviet war portrayal.
The work is part of a growing attention to the Nazi genocide in the occupied Soviet territories and the social dynamics associated with war and genocide. Foregrounding questions of identity and memory, the book contributes to understanding the problems and strategies of minority and displaced groups to attain social inclusion.
Many oral history interviews that I conducted for this project are available online for further research. Please visit the Belarusian Oral History Archive at http://www.nashapamiac.org.
An ongoing research project looks at the long aftermath of the Nazi genocide in Belarus. In particular, I am interested in how people remember and live with the effects and repercussions of systematic violence. I try to account for the shared suffering of Jews and non-Jews during the German occupation, and for a mass murder that, in part, relied on local participation. I have been working in local archives, interviewed survivors and current residents, and explored local sites of persecution to understand, how communities, which in some cases lost more than half of their population, rebuilt life after genocide and remember the dead, or why some victims are intensely forgotten.
Simultaneously and together with other scholars I explore opportunities to use digital technology to further humanistic scholarship. Initiated by the Holocaust Geographies Collaborative, the Holocaust Ghettos Project seeks to develop a place-based model of the Holocaust, which will help bridge the divide between studies focused on either victims or perpetrators by locating them together in places of ghettoization. Currently, we are developing a Historical GIS database and visualization of Nazi ghettos that will enable further analytical work. For more information on the Collaborative, please see http://holocaustgeographies.geo.txstate.edu.

In an August 1996 news release, Amnesty International reports a dramatic increase in the number of executions in Iran. The case of Mr. Salim Sabernia is reported in the release as follows: "The worldwide organization has recorded up to 70 executions so far in 1996; there were about 50 recorded throughout 1995. The true figure may be much higher, as the organization believes many executions which are carried out are never reported. Of these 20 per cent have been of political prisoners, convicted on charges such as membership of, and activities on behalf of, opposition groups and espionage. Amnesty International is concerned that many, if not most, of these trials were unfair. Some of those executed have reportedly included people sentenced to death several years ago. ... Others reportedly included…Mehrdad Kalani (a member of the People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran), sentenced to death in early 1994, and executed on 22 June 1996. …" The report provides no information regarding the charges and the evidence presented against Mr. Kalani. There is no mention of an appeal process.

12 More Positive Cases In the State, None In Morgan County
By Benjamin Cox on March 17, 2020 at 8:39am
Illinois health officials announced 12 more positive cases of COVID-19 virus in the state bringing the total to 105 in 15 counties. Cases have occurred in all age ranges and the number of cases that do not have a clear connection to travel or a known COVID-19 case is increasing. Morgan County Emergency Management Coordinator confirmed by phone yesterday there are no positive cases in Morgan County at this time despite what some may be hearing in the public. He has asked that people stop spreading disinformation and to seek out local health officials first for more information. He has also asked anyone experiencing symptoms to contact the Morgan County Health Department.
The Illinois Department of Public Health is saying that despite some people displaying some symptoms of the virus, not everyone will likely be tested. Director of IDPH Dr. Ngozi Ezike says similarly, not everyone who is infected with novel coronavirus needs medical treatment. She urged people with mild symptoms to stay home so that the health care system can concentrate on more acute cases and those at greater risk of severe problems.
Governor J.B. Pritzker has also mandated that any gatherings of 50 or more people in the state be canceled effective immediately. "Illinoisans who can stay home should continue to do so. This was a difficult decision but it's what the medical experts and the scientists are telling us what we need to do to safeguard the health of the people of Illinois."
The Illinois Gaming Board has also ordered that all video gaming operations be suspended in the state at 9 o'clock last night lasting through March 30th. While many bars and restaurants through their mandated closure yesterday would have captured most of the video gaming locations in the state; video game parlors at gas stations and VFW Halls may have still been in operation should the closure not have been mandated.
The Illinois State Board of Elections announced that the primary election was still set to take place today. Governor Pritzker said that extra precautions at polling places by election judges were being taken and that early voting and mail-in voting had reached record numbers. Polling opened in the state at 6AM today.
Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White also announced the closure of his offices and all Driver's Services Facilities until March 31st. Expiration dates on license plate registrations, temporary licenses and plates, and license have all been granted an emergency 30 day extension.


Off Broadway Cast, 2016 (Jay Records) (3 / 5) Here is a major revisal of the 1970 musical The Rothschilds, cut down to one-act and including several previously unheard Jerry Bock-Sheldon Harnick songs, plus some revisions by Harnick. The romance for son Nathan and the big ensemble numbers are gone, and the political leaders' roles have been trimmed. The cast totals 11, compared to more than 30 on Broadway; when Mayer Rothschild (Robert Cuccioli) sings a shortened version of "He Tossed a Coin," it's clear that the Frankfurt fair isn't crowded. Joseph Church has reorchestrated the score for four players, compared to Don Walker's sumptuous originals. What if anything in this York Theatre Company production compensates for the loss of size and spectacle of the original? Lyricist Harnick and librettist Sherman Yellen (composer Bock died in 2010) had long wanted to refocus the story on the Rothschild family and less on the sprawling European setting. In this, they succeeded; Rothschild and Sons is an intimate piece that emphasizes feelings and relationships. Mayer's wife, Gutele — a moving Glory Crampton — is a more significant presence as the action unfolds through her memories. She grows from being satisfied with "One Room" to standing strong against Metternich in the reprise of the driving anthem "Everything." Crampton also gets the best of the added songs, "Just A Map," in which she frets over her sons as they crisscross wartime Europe. Nathan (Christopher M. Williams) has lost his silly patter number, but here he makes mistakes on arrival in England ("Tea's Hot") and then butts heads with his father in "He Never Listens." The heart of the show is Mayer, the father. Cuccioli's voice sounds terrific — his "In My Own Lifetime" is rousing — yet he lacks the warmth and humor that Hal Linden found in the character. On the one hand (as another Bock-Harnick character said), it's wonderful that this revisal may grant new life to the show. But on the other hand, while there are plenty of musicals about families, how many are as daring as The Rothschilds — set in the chaos of late 18th-early 19th century Europe, about a family relying on financial maneuverings and political cunning to survive, with a rich score evoking late Baroque and classical masters? Stick with the original. — L.F.
Original Broadway Cast, 2017 (Broadway Records) (3 / 5) Twenty years after its premiere in movie theaters, Anastasia arrived on Broadway with Ahrens and Flaherty expanding upon their original score and Terrence McNally coming in to add a more serious mind and historical context to the piece. However, in trying to honor the animated film as well as give the musical a more realistic perspective, the resulting score is uneven. "Journey to the Past" and "Once Upon A December" remain high points, with Christy Altomare a more than worthy successor to Callaway, though the smaller Broadway orchestrations — once again by Doug Besterman — do them a slight disservice. And while Ahrens and Flaherty have been able to add a few welcome numbers to flesh out the characters ("My Petersburg" and "In a Crowd of Thousands"), the additions to the score feel disconnected from the '90s originals in tone and style. Also, Ramin Karimloo, while serving as a more realistic villain than the film's Rasputin, is sadly wasted as Gleb, a Russian officer in the new regime. His rich tenor is underused in the score's two blandest songs, "Still" and "The Neva Flows." That said, the album is a much more fulfilling listening experience than the film soundtrack, and Altomare is a charming Anya. Also, Caroline O'Connor and Mary Beth Peil respectively bring jolts of energy and gravitas to their roles of the Countess Lily and the Dowager Empress. — M.K.
Original Broadway Cast, 2016 (DMI Soundtracks) (3 / 5) This recording preserves the score for Waitress as presented on Broadway, with a fair amount of dialogue included on the album, vocal arrangements beefed up, and seven new songs added ("Door Number Three" has been revised to become "What Baking Can Do"). It all feels a little overstuffed. Part of what made Waitress work so well on screen were the grounded performances and the simple, almost quaint way in which the film presented itself as a story of everyday people dealing with everyday situations. By comparison, the Broadway production and this recording are much broader and flashier, and the material suffers because of it; many songs are overwhelmed by the arrangements or lose their emotional potency due to performances that lean more towards caricature than humanity. Also, some of the additional songs — for example "It Only Takes a Taste" and "I Love You Like a Table" — are not as strong as those Bareilles first presented on the concept album. On a positive note, the cast is made up of stellar singers. They bring to the score a Broadway shine that makes the album easily listenable, even if it's not the best style for the piece. The best thing about the recording is Jessie Mueller in the central role of Jenna. Her voice is essentially as sweet and smooth as Bareilles', yet versatile enough to delve deep into dark emotional territory and bring aching power to "She Used to Be Mine." In addition, Mueller is a smart actress who offers the most realistic performance to be heard here. Every time she's front and center, she wipes away the glossiness that coats the rest of the album, and she brings back the score's heartbeat. — M.K.

'Call Of Duty: Black Ops Cold War' trailer teases new Zombies map set in Vietnam
The gory first trailer showcases new weapons and ravenous zombies
The latest Call Of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Zombies map is a gory journey into the jungles of Vietnam.
It's called Firebase Z, and developer Treyarch previews it with a trailer on Thursday (January 28). The clip follows a group of soldiers who travel through a Dark Aether portal. When they reach their destination, they're forced to face off against zombies. There's a chilling amount of carnage to take in with the footage.
Firebase Z will be a much larger map than the previous Zombies locations and the enemies been have scaled up accordingly as well. It'll also include a new type of boss zombie that will spawn in at random, plus an enormous zombie cyclops that can shoot lasers out of its eyes.
The same blood and gore players have come to expect from Call Of Duty will be present in droves. Besides cyclops zombies, Firebase Z shows off the military outpost players can explore. There's also a wide array of new weapons, including an assault rifle with a strange new type of grenade.
Watch the explosive launch trailer for 'Call Of Duty: Black Ops Cold War'
Watch the trailer below.
The Pack-A-Punch machine is also set to make its triumphant return. That means another set of secrets for players to investigate between slaying zombies. It's a Call of Duty mainstay that's appeared several times throughout the military shooter series.
Firebase Z is set to debut in Call Of Duty: Black Ops Cold War on February 4. It's a free content drop that'll be available for all players on all consoles at no charge.
Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War also has the Warzone battle royale in addition to Zombies. We've got suggestions for assistance with sussing out the best loadouts for your character in Warzone Season 1.

Jeff guided me through process of a home sale that became a bit complicated. He was always factual about the difficult process, but encouraging. He let me know when urgency was required, and was excellent on follow through. He was recommended by my bank, and I already thanked the loan officer at the Chardon Chase bank for this referral. Thanks Jeff!

At Retail inMotion, we've got offices across the globe. However, you don't need to look further than our headquarters in Dublin to see that we're an incredibly diverse company. In just Dublin alone, we proudly represent 23 nationalities. And 10 of those nations are participating in the World Cup — everything from Argentina to Croatia to Sweden.
Our Service Desk is one of most diverse sub-teams. They provide service in multiple languages and are the front line in solving any issues for our customers and their team members.
Many people at Retail inMotion believe that football fanaticism is the unspoken sixth Culture Icon for RiM. We recently participated in the LSG Group's International Soccer Cup in Frankfurt, Germany, where we had a team of near-professional players from our offices in Cologne, Germany and Dublin come together to compete for glory against the other members of the group. In Dublin, we also have some pretty intense football enthusiasts who get together and play each week after work.
Retail inMotion is a Great Place to Work … but it's also a cool place to work. At Hangar57, we've got the matches on every day. We know how important these games are to our team members, so we've got the games playing on one of the big screens in the RiM Canteen for the diehard fans to take a 90 minute break and support their team!
Beyond having 10 nations represented from our employee base, when we add in our customer base, that number goes up to 17. That's more than 60% of the teams that are participating. Chances are, no matter what your position is at Retail inMotion, you probably work with a teammate or customer whose team is playing. That's a great reason to follow the games!


Once a Ranger, forever a Ranger! Long life to [«R»], no matter where they are!!
I will post all trades.
If I kill your scout, please don't bother to send a message complaining - it will get unanswered.
Complain if I have your whole mobile destroyed and you think that is unfair - I will answer telling you WHY I had your fleet burned.
Have fun! This is a game, dammit.

Keeping your car's windshield clean is extremely important your safety on the road. When a windshield is covered in dust, smears, or other residue, it impacts your ability to see clearly. This can lead to dangerous mistakes during driving, putting you and other motorists at risk.
Windshields can become covered in a film of dirt very gradually, so that you may be driving around with a very dirty windshield without even knowing it. In order to prevent dangerous obstructions to your vision, clean your windshield regularly whether you think it needs it or not.
Should I wash my car when it's hot?
Washing your car when it's very hot is not a good idea. If you've been driving the vehicle and it has yet to cool down, or if it has been parked in a sunny spot, allow it to cool before cleaning it. Washing a hot car can actually cause soapy deposits to form on the exterior, and you won't get the crystal clear result you want for your windshield.
What should I use to clean my windshield?
To clean your windshield, mix ¼ cup of ammonia with one quart of water. Using a sponge, thoroughly wash the glass with this solution and then dry it completely with a soft cloth. It's also a good idea to keep a bottle of this solution in the car, just in case you end up on the road one day and realize your windshield has become dirty. If the windshield seems oily, perhaps from driving on roads that are coated in oil to control blowing sand, sprinkle cream of tartar on the windshield and then wash with soapy water.
Taking care of your windshield wipers is another important component of car maintenance. If they begin to squeak or rub the windshield, they can scratch the glass. They are also not effectively cleaning the windshield when this happens, so be sure to replace them regularly. Ideally, you will replace your wipers before they get to this point. Also, cleaning them regularly will keep them in good working condition, and prevent them from simply smearing around dirt on the glass. The ammonia solution can be used to clean the wiper blades as well. Just soak a soft cloth with the solution and gently wipe the blades, and be sure to dry them afterward.
Sometimes you may find yourself driving down a dusty road, and suddenly you can't see very well through your cloudy, grimy windshield. There are a few common household items you can keep in your car for quick fixes. A box of baby wipes or sanitary napkins stashed in your glove compartment can save the day. These can be used to quickly wipe down the windshield in a pinch.
Finally, be sure to maintain your vehicle by regularly checking all fluid levels, and this includes the windshield washer fluid. This fluid is very important in the event you need to quickly wash away dirt when driving, so be sure to check the reservoir regularly and refill it as needed.
When washing your car, the windows should not be overlooked. It is important to clean them inside and outside. Your windshield wipers can only do so much, if the windows are dirty, then the wipers will just push the dirt around and may cause it to become worse.
Sometimes, after washing car windows, you notice the annoying streaks that have been left behind. There are several ways these streaks can be avoided. Cleaning products that contain ammonia do not play well with rubber, leather, and vinyl and the fumes should never be inhaled. It is best to avoid ammonia when cleaning your car windows especially if you have clear, tinted windows. The ammonia can damage the film.
Choose a microfiber towel that has a tight weave that can provide you with better scrubbing capability. Microfiber towels can also help eliminate any streaks. Choose a higher-quality material; the cheaper ones may leave fibers behind. These towels can be used on the outside of the windows. If you have tint, then you need to be more careful about scrubbing the inside of your windows because the cloth may end up damaging the film.
This little-known method can be used on the inside of windows and helps to remove any heavy build up and haze. Just be sure not to scrub with a lot of pressure. It should be used lightly, especially on tinted windows, because the eraser can abrade the windows tint.
Using newspaper to clean windows has always been a go to and was even instilled in me as I was growing up. I was always told that if I used newspaper, then I wouldn't have any ugly streaks left behind. It is a tried and true method that can still work today if you are looking for an inexpensive way to clean your windows. Try to use only the black and white sections, the newspaper with colored ink could stain your hands and leave spots on your windows.
Get your cleaning solution and newspaper materials together. You can use the cleaning solution of your choice, or if you want to avoid using chemicals, you can mix two cups of water with one-quarter cup of vinegar and half a teaspoon of liquid soap.
Use a circular pattern to clean the windows with the newspaper. Go to vertical and horizontal strokes to cover entire area completely.
Detailing clay is a great way to remove any stuck-on grime or other tough to clean spots on the windshield. Detailing clay, also known as glass cleaning clay, is made of an elastic compound that can get into even small and invisible crevices and indentations that could be present on your windshield. Detailing clay always differs, so it is always a good idea to read the instructions on the package before using. You should even consider testing a small area of your windshield to be sure that it will not damage your glass. A detailing clay bar should never be used on tinted windows. Also available are Clay Mitts. The mitts cut down on the likelihood of any clay getting trapped into crevices or indentations, and they are easier to use than the actual clay bars. The application, overall, is the same with both.
No matter what way you choose to clean your windshield just remember that it is important to keep it clean. The windshield is one of the biggest safety components of your vehicle and the most overlooked aspect when cleaning and detailing.


At this time of year I find my fridge buried beneath Christmas parties invites and the calendar bursting the seams with catch-ups. Not for me, silly – for I am but a mum. It is Misses 10 and 12 for whom the invites appear and at this time of the year it is at a rate of at least one each per day.
Between the school picnics, celebration picnics, end-of-year catch ups (usually disguised at picnics) and the inevitable sugar-fests that are the class Christmas parties it is inevitable that festive-baking will be done.
In years previous I have created all kinds of over-the-top baked Christmas goods only to find that anything with red and green M&Ms are always the hit of the classroom.
So this year it is easy chocolate Christmas biscuits / bickies / cookies for all! The obligatory festive-coloured M&Ms are here, as is a salty hit, thanks to crushed pretzels. You could probably open your pantry right now and have all you need to make these simple chocolate Christmas biscuits and if not a trip to even the most basic corner shop should see you through.
In a large bowl, beat the eggs, sugar, oil and vanilla until well combined then stir in flour, baking powder and cocoa until combined.
Stir in pretzels and M&Ms and mix until just combined.
With wet hands roll tablespoonfuls of dough into balls and play om tray, leaving space in between for spreading. Press gently with a fork to slightly flatten.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, remove from oven and allow to cool on tray for for 5 minutes before transfer to a cooling rack.
Mum, you're killing me. I'm living a low carb life at the moment.
What a clever addition by adding the pretzels! Beautiful looking cookies – perfect for Christmas!
I would never have thought to add pretzels and M&Ms together. And, I know a few bods around my way (particularly at Christmas) who would just love this combo.
Cannot believe Xmas is only 22 days away and I haven't prepared anything. These cookies look fun to make!
Loving that little kick from the pretzels and the sweet together. Sweet and salty is the new crave!
Salty and sweet, they had to be a big hit.

I was introduced to orthoptics while working as a pediatric ophthalmic technician at the University of California, San Francisco, and I realized that this profession combines everything that I am looking for in a career. I am excited to be at the University of Michigan Orthoptic training program and I can't wait to fulfill my tagline as a future Orthoptist!
Anthony Yamarino, BS, COA
Growing up with an eye disorder (Duane Syndrome) gave me the inspiration to pursue a career that truly meant something to me. My parents instilled the idea to find my passion, whatever it may be, and run with it. It was inevitable that I would end up in Ophthalmology, working with those who I can relate to and give them a better future, as best as I can. Hopefully, I can inspire some of these kids the way it inspired me as well, and Orthoptics gives me that possibility each and every day. I am so fortunate to learn from the best at the University of Michigan, and I could not be more grateful for the opportunities I have been given. It has been such a rewarding experience making me feel like I make a difference to so many. I worked as a COA for 2 years before entering the program, and I learn something new every day. I have found that passion in Orthoptics, and look forward to achieving as much as possible within this career meeting new people, and solidifying that kid dream to help others out with similar disorders.

I'm excited to join and contribute to the orthoptic team, but I am thrilled to help people.
Graduate of Orthoptic Training Program 2012
Terra Haller, CO
Orthoptics changed my life! Now I have the opportunity to change lives through Orthoptics. I personally had an eye misalignment and received outstanding treatment as a child. After high school I attended college at the University of South Alabama and earned a Bachelor's Degree in Biomedical Sciences. Once I discovered the career path of Orthoptics I immediately began preparing for acceptance into a program. After visiting the University of Michigan I instantly knew it was the place for me. Upon acceptance into the program my husband and I moved from Alabama to Michigan and we are enjoying every minute of this new adventure together. I look forward to what the future of Orthoptics holds for me.
Miqua Thomas, CO
Orthoptics is defined by Webster's Dictionary as the treatment of defects of binocular vision by nonsurgical measures. In my opinion the profession incorporates all the above and much more. My name is Miqua Thomas. I am originally from Ohio and I am an orthoptic student at the University of Michigan's Kellogg Eye Center. Ever since I can remember I knew I wanted a career that was rewarding and that allowed me to positively help others. As a child I developed high myopia. Due to my heavy prescription I told myself that I would go into the healthcare field to help others feel good about themselves. I pursued this vision all throughout life and graduated from Thomas More College with a bachelor's degree in Biology. In my undergraduate years I was involved in numerous activities and this further motivated me to continue on my journey to choose an occupation in which I could make a difference. I came across orthoptics through the internet and after additional investigation on what the career actually detailed, I knew I had finally found the perfect career choice for me. At the end of the day I am pleased to say that I am in a field that is interesting, challenging, and rewarding. I am accomplishing my childhood goals by giving back to others and the patients teach me lessons as well! I am excited about my future prospects in orthoptics. It is a unique field for special people and I enjoy every minute of it!
Elizabeth Gayeski, CO
Elizabeth Gayeski graduated from the University of Michigan training program in 2009 and accepted a staff orthoptist position at the Kellogg Eye Center on the campus of the University of Michigan immediately upon passing her national board examinations. Ms. Gayeski is actively involved in the examination of and treatment of patients with amblyopia and strabismus. She is also active in the American Association of Certified Orthoptists at the national and regional level.
