Unless you've been living in a hypnotic state after watching this .gif for the past three days, you've no doubt read about the movie Black Panther busting blocks across the country.
Creative Cypher, a collective of artists and entertainment professionals, are looking to spread that joy a bit to Chicago school children.
"We want to bring a diverse and inclusive community of creatives and leaders into the same space to engage collectively around a film 'for the culture' that portrays black characters in a positive light opposing historical barriers and stereotypes," said Troy Pryor, founder and president of Creative Cypher.
The collective offered the tickets to youth-focused organizations and for children who were both committed to the studies and their communities.
Students also got to hear from a panel discuss their experiences as African American professionals in the entertainment industry. But it was the movie that was still the highlight.
The film has already made $235 million domestically and $404 worldwide in the four days since it premiered. It reached the fifth-highest opening for a film ever in the first three days.
It is also the highest grossing film that has been released in February and also the highest opening ever on Presidents' Day weekend, beating out 2016's Deadpool which brought in $152 million.

What is the Urban Design Group?
The Urban Design Group (UDG) is a membership charity open to all who care about the quality of life in our cities, towns and villages and believe that raising standards of urban design is central to its improvement. The UDG believes that good urban design depends upon successful collaboration between all those who shape the built environment, whatever their professional or personal background.
Since our foundation in 1978, we have played a major role increasing the understanding and awareness of urban design. There have been some major successes and a transformation in the quality of existing and new development.
However a great deal of development is still badly designed. More than three quarters of all planning applications in the UK are prepared by someone with no design training. Much development is designed or planned by people with little idea of how to work in an urban context. Our mission is to raise standards of education and awareness of urban design across societies both in the UK and internationally.
Providing high quality information on best practice in urban design through: a quarterly journal Urban Design, a free electronic news service Urban Update; free on-line lectures, running events and workshops, and an annual non-profitmaking conference.
Providing a focus for the dissemination of research to practitioners in order to increase impact; and for relaying research needs to academia.
Improving the professional standards in urban design and urban designers.
Supporting decision makers in making long term decisions about the quality of the towns and cities for which they are responsible.
Promoting collaboration within the urban design process and between the professions.
Raising standards in urban design practice.
Developing a network of urban designers both nationally and internationally.
We work to support urban designers and foster an increased appreciation of the value of quality in the public realm through our events programme, newsletter and our acclaimed journal Urban Design - widely acknowledged as the leader in its field.
The UDG believes that urban design is not the job of any single profession so we welcome members from a broad range of backgrounds who share our principles.
In 2009 the UDG launched a new initiative, Recognised Practitioner in Urban Design, demonstarting its commitment to the best of urban design skills. This new category of membership gives professionals working in urban design the opportunity to attain greater recognition for their skills and experience as well as a stronger sense of common purpose and identity.

FOR ALL BEFORE
Exploring amid the icebergs, glaciers and ice floes of the White Continent you find an abundance of wildlife. And although it's thought too cold for plant life to flourish, there are several species of flora to see on an Antarctica expedition.
If there's any bird associated with Antarctica, it's the penguin. It's likely you'll come across a few, with six species making their home here: the Gentoo, chinstrap, Magellanic, king, southern rockhopper and emperor.
To see courtship rituals, the best time is mid-October to the beginning of December. The prime penguin hatching season is late December to January.
GENTOO – Weighing up to 11 pounds, the Gentoo is the third-largest species of penguin in the Antarctic. It can swim up to 22 miles per hour, making it one of the fastest penguins in the water. It stands out with its red-orange feet and white triangles around the eyes. Travelers can spot a Gentoo penguin colony at the Penguin Post Office in Port Lockroy.
KING – The King penguin is the second largest of its species. It is most often found in the northern regions of Antarctica and the Falkland Islands. They can grow up to three-feet tall. King penguins move around in colonies of up to several thousand individuals.
CHINSTRAP – The Chinstrap penguin gets its name from the signature black marking around its neck resembling just that. These penguins are known for being bold and agile. They are the second-most common species of penguin found in the Antarctic Peninsula.
SOUTHERN ROCKHOPPER – Tufts of yellow feathers on the sides of their heads give the Southern rockhopper penguin a whimsical appearance. Tourists can watch them climb and hop over rocks, as that is how they got their name. They make their nests on cliff tops and rarely come to land except for molting and mating seasons.
MAGELLANIC – These penguins were named after the explorer Ferdinand Magellan. They are the only species of penguin to dig and nest in burrows on the edge of beaches. They communicate through loud cries that sound like the bray of a donkey, and often the entire colony calls back.
EMPEROR – The Emperor penguin stands at the top of its species as it reaches up to 45 kilograms in weight and 48 inches in height. They're the only penguins that breed during the winter in Antarctica. They are mostly found on fast-ice, islands of packed ice locked by glaciers.
Poems have been written and songs sung about the albatross. With five species that call the region home, each with uniquely enchanting features, it's easy to see why.
BLACK-BROWED ALBATROSS – The "Prince of the Clouds," this bird stands out with a nearly all-white plumage and black feathers at the wing tips. The black coloring around the eyes makes them look like they have charcoal markings, giving them their name. They nest in tall cliffs and only lay a single egg in the nest.
SOUTHERN ROYAL ALBATROSS – Second in size to the wandering albatross, the majestic Southern Royal has a wingspan of 9.8 feet (3 meters). You can often spot these when sailing out in the open waters of Antarctica.
LIGHT-MANTLED ALBATROSS – This albatross is distinct from the others of its species due to its fair feathers. But like its brethren, it's an efficient flier and has glands above the nasal
WANDERING ALBATROSS – These birds claim the longest wingspan of any bird on the planet at a length of 11.5 feet (3.5 meters). This helps them soar for long distances with minimal wing flapping along the way, allowing them to use even less energy during flight than during rest.
TRISTAN ALBATROSS – Even the most expert of birdwatchers often confuse these with the wandering albatross, as they look so similar. The trick is to look for the darker back on the Tristan. It's also smaller and native to the Tristan da Cunha archipelago.
Birdwatchers will learn to spot the differences between the three species of prions found in Antarctica.
ANTARCTIC PRION – These are the largest of the prion species, but they're technically part of the Southern Ocean petrel genus. They also go by the names of dove prion and "whale birds" because they like to filter through the water for crustaceans, much like a baleen whale.
FAIRY PRION – These birds are seen throughout the Southern Hemisphere and are almost as abundant as the slender-billed prion. They're known for their soft cooing as their mates return to nest at night.
SLENDER-BILLED PRION – Also known has thin-billed prions, these seabirds can be found in large quantities, with an estimated population of about 7 million. Their diet consists of zooplankton, a feat achieved by filtering it through their saw-like bill, which gave them their name derived from the Greek prion.
PETRELS
More than a half dozen varieties of this sea bird make their home in Antarctica, flying over ice floes or sitting with their flocks atop icebergs.
The courting season for Antarctica's seabirds lasts from November to December, making this a good time for birders to visit.
SNOW PETREL – This all-white bird is found mostly in South Georgia, the South Sandwich Islands, and the Antarctic Peninsula. They are often seen in flocks sitting atop icebergs or flying over ice floes. The black bill and blue- gray feet are the only colors on its body that distinguish it from the snow and ice scenery.
ANTARCTIC PETREL – These are the southernmost breeding birds on the planet. They appear to run over the water before taking flight and can be seen as far north as New Zealand and Australia during the Antarctic winter.
BLUE PETREL – This is a prime example of pelagic birds, as they stay at sea for most of their lives and only come to shore to breed. You can often see them in flocks that include various species of prion. They're most often spotted throughout navigation of the Drake Passage and Scotia Sea.
BLACK-BELLIED STORM PETREL – It was once believed that catching sight of these birds portended an oncoming storm, thus how they came by their name. They've also been called Mother Carey's chickens – a slang term for the Virgin Mary – water witches, birds of the devil, and many other monikers. You can usually see them around South Georgia.
WILSON'S STORM PETREL – This is the smallest breeding bird in Antarctica. They art apt at avoiding buffeting winds of a storm by flying in the channels created by the waves. They were named after Alexander Wilson, a Scottish- American naturalist known as the "Father of American Ornithology."
GIANT PETREL – There are two kinds of giant petrel – Southern with pale green beaks and Northern with red-pink beaks. These are the only birds of the Procellariidae family that have legs strong enough to walk about on land.
DIVING PETRELS – There are three kinds: South Georgia, common, and Magellanic. These are small, plump birds similar to an auk. The common diving petrels are distinguished by an inner web of brown, primary feathers while the Magellanic petrel has a coloring of white below and bLack on top.
WHITE-CHINNED PETREL – This petrel is also known as a Cape hen, breeding in South Georgia, Campbell Island, and even sometimes in the Falklands. Their name derives from the light coloring of their beaks.
More than one species of seal call Antarctica home. Elephant, Weddell and Fur seals hunt the waters and come to land for some R&R…and to mate.
Elephant and fur seals start to mark their preferred territories from mid-October to the beginning of December. To see seal pups on South Georgia and the Falklands, travel between mid-December and January. Towards the end of the summer in February and March, fur seals are more abundant on the peninsula.
ELEPHANT SEAL – The males of this species reach sizes of up to 20 feet in length and 4 tons in weight. The females are usually half that size. Adult males develop the trunk around the age of six and use it to amplify their calls during mating season. They come ashore annually to molt and mate. They can most often be spotted in South Georgia.
FUR SEAL – In the Antarctic Peninsula, only immature males can be observed. The fur seal is a carnivorous pinniped like other seals and walruses. It's a social animal that favors beaches and finds shelter in the surrounding rocks. Mature fur seals are often found in the South Shetland Islands, as well as South Georgia.
WEDDELL SEAL – These seals get their name from where they are found in the Weddell Sea. They are recognized by their small heads, short muzzles, and large hind flippers. The Weddell Seal can stay submerged for over an hour when hunting. It spends most of its day in the water or resting on coastal ice.
You'll be delighted to catch sight of a pod of whales. Humpback whales, orcas and fin whales are known to swim in these waters.
Late January to early March is the best time to see whales such as orcas, minkes, sperms and humpbacks.
HUMPBACK WHALE – The humpback whale is one of the most active of its species as it often breaches the ocean surface. Passengers sailing around the Antarctic Peninsula and Cape Horn may see these whales slapping their fins and tails on the water's surface. Humpback whales are most well-known for their haunting, melodious song during mating season.
FIN WHALE – The fin whale is a member of the baleen whale family. In this species, the females are slightly larger than the males. Fin whales are mostly in open ocean waters away from ice, but sometimes can be spotted in the Antarctic Peninsula in areas where the Antarctic waters mix with more temperate water. It is currently an endangered species.
ORCA – Better known as killer whales, orcas are teethed whales that feed on fish and squid, as well as seals, penguins, and smaller whales. The orca is the only whale known to breed in Antarctic waters. They are known to hunt in packs, much like wolves on land. Orcas can be found in the Antarctic Peninsula and parts of South Georgia.
SPERM WHALE – Only the male sperm whale is found in Antarctica. They often dive down to 500 meters, but some have even been known to dive as far as 3,000 meters. These teethed whales live on a healthy diet of giant squid, their staple prey.
SOUTHERN RIGHT WHALE – Southern right whales can grow up to 57 feet, weigh up to 100 tons and live for up to 80 years. Feeding primarily on krill, they enjoy shallow waters and often come up to breach the water's surface in greeting. You can see their V-shaped spray, created by two blow holes, from a great distance.
BLUE WHALE – The biggest animal in the world living today is the Antarctic blue whale weighing up to 120 tons and growing up to 98 feet long. Even their hearts are huge, growing up to the size of a small car and pumping 10 tons of blood throughout their bodies. Although they're actually gray, they were named blue whales because when seen through the water's surface, they appear to glow blue.
MINKE WHALE – Minkes are the second-smallest whale species in the world and are the ones you will most likely spot on an Antarctica expedition. They are highly inquisitive and often approach boats and swim alongside them in pods of up to 20 whales.
Found near the Antarctic Convergence, where the freezing waters meet more temperate waters, hourglass dolphins are one of the few cetaceans that enjoy the cold climate of Antarctica. They're shorter and stockier than their counterparts, with a color pattern like that of an orca. You may just spot them while they ride alongside the ship or at its bow, or swim with the whales all summer long.
FLORA IN ANTARCTICA
Although the frozen land and lack of moisture keep most plant life from growing in Antarctica, there are still a few types of organisms that will pique the interest of the scientific mind. Mosses and liverworts of the algae, lichen, fungi and bryophyte variety grow plenty in the Seventh Continent. That's because these plants tend to have dormant life cycles. This means they don't have roots, so they don't have to take in nutrients the way other plants do to survive and thrive.
Of the lichen that lives in Antarctica, there are three types that can be found distributed throughout Maritime Antarctica and the Peninsula:
Foliose – You can identify these by their leaf-like lobes.
Crustose – These form a thin crust on the sub-surfaces on which they
Fruticose – When you see a shrubby type of plant growing, you've found this lichen.
There's also snow algae, a distinct subset of the 700 terrestrial and aquatic algae varieties found in Antarctica. It grows in semi-permanent to permanent snow or ice in alpine and polar regions around the world. It's believed that snow algae mostly appear as chlamydomonads, green algae distinguished by single cells with two flagella at their anterior ends.
Only two vascular plants can be found in the continent: Antarctic hair grass and Antarctic pearlwort. Hair grass undergoes a growth spurt in the summer and is incredibly durable, as it survives the constant trampling of the wildlife in the area. Pearlwort can be found in rocky areas, growing between the cracks of stones like tufts of weed.
The largest marine plant life found in Antarctica is kelp. Durvillaea antarctica – bull kelp – is believed to be the strongest variety in the world, with the ability to withstand the Southern Ocean's massive seas. It has the one of the fastest growth rates among marine plant life. Kelp provides many organisms with refuge from harsh physical environments.
On South Georgia Island, you will find 26 nonnative species of vascular plants, brought there both intentionally and unintentionally by the people that passed through. These seeds were often spread by the whalers and sealers who made their stations there during the height of those practices. Since the island has milder winters than the Antarctic Peninsula and there's a lack of predators, these plants have thrived here.
The most prevalent vegetation that has made South Georgia home is tussac grassland. Typically found in coastal regions, it's an important habitat for nesting birds and high diversity of invertebrates.

Maison Vitry | an ever-evolving, Creole home in New Orleans.
Maison Vitry, located in the Treme neighborhood of New Orleans, is a creole mansion built for the free woman of color, Louise Arsene Vitry. Established in 1855, during New Orleans' golden age, the home has been remarkably preserved in an elegant state of decay. The site is now an architectural gem and features 14 foot ceilings, original plaster moldings, mantles, and frescoes, a solid mahogany staircase, cast iron balconies, and marbelized base boards.
Our site allows for an insider's view of the home's continuously evolving nature, events, decorative projects, and all the excitement that comes with living with such a home. The home is also quite popular for photographers and videographers, both of which can find useful information throughout this site. We hope you become part of the discussions, give your opinions, help with ideas, and get to know Maison Vitry.


If you fancy riding on one of the most unique on routes that few ever ride on, country roads, sand dunes, hills, jungles, highways as good as landing strips, a dry salt lake and all with little or no traffic. Then there's the border road where yours will be the only vehicle passing through the famous 1971 battle sites. And we pay homage to a temple devoted to a Royal Enfield Bullet. The ride will coincide with the Marwar Festival at Jodhpur.
The tour of Rajasthan is a motorcycle odyssey organized by Royal Enfield. Royal Enfield will organize the entire motorcycle tour ranging from your stay at the various campsites during the tour to having a back up vehicle for the entire journey with the necessary spares.

Managers detained as 22 trapped in China mine for 3rd day
BEIJING (AP) — Authorities have detained managers at a gold mine in eastern China where 22 workers have been trapped underground following an explosion Sunday. The condition of the workers trapped for more than three days remains unknown.
Managers waited more than a day to give notice of the explosion in violation of rules saying accidents must be reported within one hour, The official Xinhua News Agency said Thursday, calling that an illegal act that will not go unpunished. It wasn't clear if other accusations would be brought against them.
The mine in Qixia, a jurisdiction under the city of Yantai in Shandong province, had been under construction at the time of the Sunday afternoon blast, the cause of which hasn't been announced.
More than 300 workers are seeking to clear obstructions while drilling a new shaft to reach the chamber and expel dangerous fumes.
Dominated by coal, China's mining industry used to be the world's deadliest, suffering more than 5,000 fatalities a year from explosions, gas leaks an floods. Safety improved dramatically after authorities overhauled the industry starting about 15 years ago, closing most smaller, more dangerous operations and boosting supervision.
Still, accidents happen relatively frequently, including two in the southwestern megacity of Chongqing last year that killed 39 miners.

The risk of gestational diabetes can be determined up to 7 years before pregnancy based on assessing measures of body weight and blood sugar routinely.
580 ethnically diversified women participated in the study and women who experienced gestational diabetes while pregnant were compared to those who didn't have gestational diabetes. It was found that the risk of gestational diabetes increased directly with the amount of undesirable risk factors typically connected with heart disease and diabetes that were present before pregnancy, such as hypertension, high blood sugar, and overweight. They also found that undesirable levels of body weight and blood sugar were linked to a 4.6 times increased risk of gestational diabetes, in comparison to women having normal levels.
Previous research has revealed that women developing gestational diabetes while pregnant are more inclined to suffer from Type 2 diabetes following pregnancy. Gestational diabetes is characterized by glucose intolerance which usually takes place during the 2nd or 3rd trimester and results in complications in as many as 7% of pregnancies in the US. It can result in early delivery and Cesareans, and increases risk of the baby developing obesity, diabetes, and metabolic disease later on in life.
The research suggests that cardio-metabolic risk profile for factors regularly evaluated at clinical visits could help physicians in identifying high-risk women for early gestational diabetes management.
Even though the established gestational diabetes risk factors are obesity, older maternal age, non-white ethnicity/race, a diabetes family history, and having previously given birth to a really large baby, these risk factors are lacking in as many as 50% of women that experience gestational diabetes. A better knowledge of gestational diabetes pre-pregnancy predictors could help in identifying women at risk and before becoming pregnant, and initiate intervention programs for preventing gestational diabetes and its related risks.


Pay Attention to FTC Content Guidelines!
Today I noticed an eMarketer article with the headline "Many B2B Marketers Not Aware of FTC Sponsored-Content Guidelines" and under the headline was a sub-headline "Content marketing spending is expected to increase", which seems to be a pretty big issue for business-to-business companies doing digital marketing.
The article cited a the 2015 benchmark survey by CMI and MarketingProfs in August that suggested that only 8% of B2B marketers felt comfortable with their understanding of FTC guidelines about public disclosure of sponsored-content compensation, but 51% of B2B marketers in North America are planning to increase their content marketing. In addition, 64% of them have used content marketing, and half of them have used sponsored social marketing.
Another interesting point from the Content Marketing Institute and MarketingProfs 2015 benchmark was that promoted posts and social ads were the most effective marketing methods after search engine marketing.
It makes sense that companies, and not just B2B, are gearing up to use social media and content advertising. If that is the case, it makes sense to review the FTC guidelines for social media again before creating content for these sponsored posts and ads.
Disclose any arrangement, relationship or deal made with the content publisher, no matter how seemingly insignificant.
Guides were designed to help explain whether social media endorsements violate Section 5 of the FTC Act, which allows them to investigate deceptive advertising. Read the guides.
It is important to continually mention the endorsement parameters even if they were mentioned in a prior blog post or article because the viewer may not have seen them, or also mention them in individual posts even if they are displayed on the home page of a site.
Even a picture of a product is considered a positive endorsement and has to be qualified.
Read slowly enough for consumers to follow and in words consumers will understand if done with an audio.
The FTC Guides provide over 35 examples of endorsement scenarios, but if you have further questions about endorsement disclosure, you can send them directly to [email protected] .

Man arrested on heroin charges at search scene
Douglas Walker and Keith Roysdon
MUNCIE - When police searching for missing Albany resident Brianna DiBattiste served a warrant at a South Council Street home on Wednesday, they arrested a Muncie man on heroin charges.
Jeremiah J. Rupel, 33, who lives in Apt. B at the house at 311 S. Council St., was preliminarily charged with possession of heroin and possession of a controlled substance.
According to an affidavit, when members of the Muncie Police Department Tactical Team "assisted another agency with a search warrant" at Rupel's apartment, they found the Muncie man "exiting the residence."
Rupel was allegedly carrying a small plastic bag containing nine tablets of Alprezolam, a prescription medication used for panic disorders.
Investigators also found three syringes and a spoon containing a "blue spongy material," and a white substance identified as heroin.
Family members have said that DiBattiste is a heroin abuser. Authorities have not identified Rupel as a suspect in her disappearance, or explained what prompted them to request a search warrant for the Council Street apartment on Wednesday.
Rupel, taken to the Muncie Police Department for questioning, allegedly admitted he possessed the tablets, syringe and spoon. He was being held in the Delaware County jail on Thursday under a $7,500 bond.
Rupel was listed at that Muncie address in November 2012, when he was convicted of assisting a criminal in Blackford Superior Court.
A former Upland resident, Rupel was charged with possession of a controlled substance in Grant County in 2000. That case was later dismissed.
Rupel is not the first resident of the Council Street apartment house to face heroin-related allegations.
In October 2011, members of the MPD drug unit arrested a man later identified as Adell Simpson Porter, then 29, who had sold agents heroin twice and cocaine once in his apartment at 311 S. Council St.
Porter, a convicted felon from Michigan, later pleaded guilty to dealing in a controlled substance and was sentenced to 10 years in prison.
More recently, a Muncie woman who listed the Council Street house as her address was arrested on drug-related charges.
On June 13, Amber Lanette Burtzo, 28, was detained for shoplifting at the southside Walmart store. Police reported finding two prescription medications, one of them Xanax, in her purse.
Burtzo, more recently listed at an East Jackson Street address, is set to stand trial Dec. 17 on charges of possession of a controlled substance and unlawful possession of a legend drug.
Delaware County property tax records indicate the Council Street house is one of several locally owned by the same family of property owners and marketed as a rental property.
Efforts to reach the property owners were not successful. A voice mail box for the owners of the Council Street house was full.

Final Girls Berlin Film Festival Preview: Killers, Thrillers, and Chillers of All Stripes Are on Tap
By Joseph Perry on January 14, 2020 in Events, Film Festivals, Foreign, Ghost, Horror, Indie, Movies, Serial Killers, Short Film, Supernatural, Supernatural Horror, Women in Horror, Women Of Horror
The fifth edition of Final Girls Berlin Film Festival takes place February 6–9, 2020 at City Kino Wedding as the fest continues to raise the bar by showcasing horror movies written, directed, and/or produced by women and nonbinary filmmakers. Festival codirector Eli Lewy calls this year's festival edition the "most expansive and international yet, presenting a wide array of films by visionary filmmakers that represent the diversity and originality that can be found in the current horror landscape." The exciting program features eight curated short blocks and nine feature films, a horror-inspired self-defense workshop, an exhibition, a festival party with multimedia drag performances, and specialist talks on horror martyrs, made-for-TV horror, "female monsters," and "bad mothers" in Mexican horror cinema.
"Horror is a very elastic term," said fellow co-director Sara Neidorf, "and we're excited to discover films that make us question and expand our conceptions of what horror can be, both in ways that are distant from and uncannily near our own realities."
Following are the nine features scheduled for the fest, all of which are on Horror Fuel's radar. All film descriptions in this article are from Final Girls Berlin's official press release.
Three young women were sentenced to death in the infamous Manson murders case. Their sentences became life imprisonment when the death penalty was lifted in California. One young graduate student was sent in to teach them. Through her, we witness their transformation as they face the reality of their horrific crimes.
(Dir. Mary Harron, USA, 2019)
DARK WHISPERS
When Clara discovers her deceased mother's revered Book of Dark Whispers, she can't stop reading the strange stories within its mystical pages. Each weird tale reveals a new facet of the twisted human psyche . . . or, in this case, the not-so-human. From the horror of grief to roommate living disasters, from existential dread to right-swiping vampires, there's something for all tastes. The horror anthology is brought to you by 11 female directors from across Australia.
(Various directors, Australia, 2019)
European Premiere
Tito is trapped. With lank black hair, curlicue sideburns, and an emergency whistle dangling from his neck, he is so stricken with fear that he's developed a hunch in his back. Any attempt to venture into the outside world is met with the threat of elusive predators who hunt him relentlessly. Starved for food and security, Tito's terrorized existence threatens to overwhelm him — until the sudden arrival of a cheerful intruder, offering breakfast and protection. TITO is a story about predation, friendship, and fear told through a wildly expressive new lens.
(Dir. Grace Glowicki, Canada, 2019)
Berlin Premiere
HAIL SATAN?
When media-savvy members of the Satanic Temple organize a series of public actions designed to advocate for religious freedom and challenge corrupt authority, they prove that with little more than a clever idea, a mischievous sense of humor, and a few rebellious friends, you can speak truth to power in some truly profound ways. As charming and funny as it is thought-provoking, HAIL SATAN? offers a timely look at a group of often misunderstood outsiders whose unwavering commitment to social and political justice has empowered thousands of people around the world.
(Dir. Penny Lane, USA, 2019)
THE FATHER'S SHADOW

As she haunts his every move, trying to reach her mother from beyond,Ivy must dig deep to see the signs and prove that love won't stay buried.
(Dirs. Toby Poster & John Adams, USA, 2019)
SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE (+ I WAS A TEENAGE SERIAL KILLER)
Presented in collaboration with Matchbox Cinema (Glasgow, UK)
When Trish (Michele Michaels) decides to invite her high school basketball teammates over for a slumber party, she has no idea the night is going to end with an unexpected guest crashing the party: an escaped power drill-wielding killer. SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE was originally penned as a parody of the slasher genre. Rehashed by producers into a 'serious' slasher, the film retains its original intentions as a celebration and acknowledgment of the ridiculousness of the genre, offering up an inversion of the male gaze and lots of murders by power tools.
(Dir. Amy Holden Jones, Written by Rita Mae Brown, USA, 1982)
The routine of eccentric, maladjusted siblings is disrupted when their half-sister arrives looking for her share of the inheritance, resulting in a series of sick games to see who is the rock, who is the paper, and who is the scissor.

AMANDA REYES:
HORROR COMES HOME: WOMEN AND THE MADE-FOR-TELEVISION MOVIE, 1964-1999
The birth of the made-for-television movie just happened to coincide with the second-wave feminist movement that was erupting in the streets of the United States. Television, which has always been interested in the female demographic, represented this movement in different ways, and the telefilm became a prime space for addressing issues that were important to women. The genre telefilms of the 1970s and well beyond also challenged common stereotypes that have afflicted female characters for years. However, the action didn't always happen on screen. Several women worked behind the scenes and had their hand in the production of some of the most memorable television genre films. Horror Comes Home: Women and the Made-for-Television Movie is a retrospective on the oft-maligned made-for-TV genre movie, exploring how these films spoke to its female audience in a way no other medium has.
VALERIA VILLEGAS LINDVALL:
THE BAD MOTHER IN MEXICAN HORROR
Portrayed as a mere residue of superstition, La Llorona (The Weeping Woman) made a big screen comeback in 2019 with Michael Chaves' THE CURSE OF LA LLORONA — another addition to THE CONJURING franchise. But she has been roaming on-screen since the 1930s: her cry encapsulates the legacy of colonialism and oppression in the Americas. Valeria Villegas Lindvall from the University of Gothenburg will explore the rich legacy of Mexican cinema guided by her presence, from the first horror film produced in the country–Ramón Peón's LA LLORONA (1933)–to current manifestations of the genre, such as Issa López's TIGERS ARE NOT AFRAID (2018) and Emilio Portes' BELZEBUTH (2018).
ANDREA SUBISSATI:
AS GOD IS MY WITNESS: MARTYRDOM IN MODERN-DAY HORROR
The concept of martyrdom is widely used but rarely fully understood–a fact due, in some part, to its changing relevance across changing times. From Joan of Arc to Socrates to the contemporary incidents of terrorism and suicide bombings, martyrdom has come to mean a great many things. MARTYRS and THE EXORCISM OF EMILY ROSE don't have much in common in the cinematic sense, but both films tackle the subject of modern-day martyrdom in diverse and theologically nuanced ways. Based on a chapter from the forthcoming Scared Sacred: Idolatry, Religion, and Worship in the Horror Film (2020), this presentation will seek to unpack the convoluted term by drawing from its etymological origins and culminating in a discussion of how the term relates to modern horror.
ORLA SMITH:
OUTER THREATS AND INNER DEMONS: THE CHANGING FACE OF THE 'FEMALE MONSTER'
From Julia Ducournau's RAW to Joachim Trier's THELMA, some of modern horror's greatest monsters aren't physically tangible — they're internal demons. These 'female monsters' face no antagonist but themselves and their lack of agency over their own minds. It marks a shift in interest from horror movies interested in the external threats women face, to horror focusing on women's inner demons. Smith draws from the ideas explored in Seventh Row's book, Beyond Empowertainment: Feminist Horror and the Struggle for Female Agency.

, explaining how the perception that Black and Latino students don't do well in school may be the reason high achievers are bullied more often.
Among all students participating in the study, of all races, those who were bullied in the 10th grade experienced a drop in 12th grade scores when compared with their pre-bullying 9th-grade scores.
However, the drop in scores was largest for high-scoring Black and Latino students. An African-American student with a 3.5 GPA in 9th grade who was bullied lost, on average, 0.3 GPA points by 12th grade. For a white student with a 3.5 GPA, that same number was only 0.03 points.
National dialogue surrounding bullying has increased in recent years as victims of bullying report increased intensity of harassment both at school and on the Internet.
Earlier this year, the Department of Education Office of Civil Rights took action on the issue by announcing that some student misconduct that falls under a school's anti-bullying policy can potentially trigger responsibilities under one or more of the federal anti-discrimination laws; heightening the severity of punishment for youth.
The findings of the study were presented at the annual meeting of the American Sociological Association in Las Vegas.

The "green economy" principles are an inalienable part of NPO Saturn's activity
Site news 5.06.2015
June 5, 2015, Rybinsk. - "Seven billion needs. One planet. Use sparingly" is the slogan under which the people of the world are celebrating today, on 5 June 2015, the World Environment Day. The "green economy" principles are becoming an inalienable part of NPO Saturn's (a company in UEC of the Rostec State Corporation) high-tech activity. Having fully committed itself to ensuring compliance with the requirements of the Russian and international standards in the field of environment protection and occupational safety, and having received appropriate international certificates, NPO Saturn has reconfirmed its social responsibility to the community, its partners, and its employees.
According to Victor Polyakov, NPO Saturn chief executive officer, "attention exercised towards occupational safety, and ecological and industrial safety remains at the highest level in the company. NPO Saturn, having made it, according to RBC, to the TOP 50 Russian largest technological companies list continues searching for and implementing solutions allowing to combine the quality, productivity, occupational safety, and the environmental aspects in the production of gas turbine engines."
The main purpose of NPO Saturn's environmental activity is to ensure compliance with the regulations and specific requirements limiting detrimental effect of the production processes and its products to the environment, rational use of natural resources, and in the end, observance of the environmental code.
As the result of operating and preventive activity aimed at preventing the emergencies, the company had no accidental releases or emissions into the environment in 2014 whatsoever. The analysis of ambient air specimens at the border between the city's residential area and the company's industrial site demonstrated that the average pollutant concentrations in the air do not exceed the regulated threshold. The company discharges its waste fully into the municipal sewer system with subsequent biological rectification.
Among the most significant environmental events on the company's roster are the completion of a unique sanitary-protective zone designated for all the companies located on the NPO Saturn main industrial site. The measurements and independent expert evaluations show that both NPO Saturn and its subsidiaries can stay within their existing premises as none of them does any damage to the city's ecological basis. NPO Saturn has put into operation a vacuum-distilling installation, representing an innovative technology used in the recycling of emulsions and emulsion mixtures, which proves to be the most effective both ecologically and economically. The company's development and serial production infrastructure is being gradually filled with high-tech equipment. In particular, in 2014 NPO Saturn installed an etching line which has allowed he company to no longer discharge any waste, and minimize the emissions into the atmosphere and generation of production waste. Reconstruction of galvanic lines continues with the use of foam absorbers allowing to filter emissions into the atmosphere.

When Rome set its eyes on her country, this one-eyed queen fought them tooth and nail, until they left her alone.
Gracia Mendes Nasi
Jewish businesswoman who saved thousands of Jews from the Inquisition by smuggling them out of the country.
Velu Nachiyar
With a dead husband and a hostile foreign country on her hands, this Indian queen did the unthinkable - turned her loyal servants into some of the first suicide bombers in recorded history.
Marguerite de la Rocque
Stranded by her cruel relative on an abandoned Canadian island (literally named the Isle of Demons), she survived for two years by hunting animals and eventually made it back to France.
Jigonhsaseh
This Native American clan mother brought together 5 tribes under the Haudenosaunee Confederacy - and helped make the document that inspired the United States Constitution.
Hypatia
The first female mathematician in recorded history, and one of the luminaries of the ancient world - but her grisly death at the hands of a mob was only the start of her troubles.


When California banned single-use plastic bags in 2016, Farzan Dehmoubed suddenly had more plastic in his home than ever before. "The house just became cluttered with the thicker, reusable plastic bags, so the problem just didn't go away at all," he said. The issue inspired Mr Dehmoubed and his wife Jennifer Duvall to come up with a solution, which is now available to Australian customers for the first time through Kickstarter after a successful launch in the US. The couple has created the Lotus Trolley Bag, a set of four eco-friendly and reusable bags designed to spread out like an accordion along the top of a trolley, making it easier to pack and carry shopping. Each machine washable bag can hold more than 30 kilograms, and the set includes an insulated cooler bag, pockets for eggs and wine and reinforced double stitching. "It's kind of like a filing cabinet for your grocery cart," Mr Dehmoubed said. "This is more of a system than a set of bags." Mr Dehmoubed said the product had sold out in the US three times in the past six months, and a flood of international enquiries meant the time was right to expand. A former Sydney resident, Mr Dehmoubed said international interest had been especially strong in Australia. He said this was not surprising considering Australians used more than 9.7 billion single-use plastic bags each year, according to Greenpeace analysis. The ACT is contributing to the problem, with Commissioner for Sustainability and the Environment Professor Kate Auty warning last month that plastic use was creeping back up to levels that pre-dated the ban on single-use plastic bags introduced in the ACT in 2011. "We're trying to solve a problem everyone has got and is frustrated with," Mr Dehmoubed said. "Some of the statistics are alarming, but everybody grocery shops and everybody needs something to carry their groceries in." Mr Dehmoubed said his bags could be reused hundreds of times, and the set he and his wife had used for more than a year were still in good nick. The bags are available to Australian customers online from Sunday, and Mr Dehmoubed said he was also in negotiations with Woolworths about making the bags available for sale inside supermarkets. He hoped that might happen early next year. The Kickstarter campaign aims to raise $14,050 to help launch the Lotus Trolley Bag in Australia, with the bags available at discounted prices for people who back the campaign.

The China List: Patrik Schumacher, Architecture
Wallpaper* and China's Cultural Heritage and Sustainable Development Fund (CHSDF) present China By Design—a celebration of Chinese cultural heritage and the many global creatives who have been inspired by it. Explore the full list here.

Founded by the iconic Zaha Hadid in 1980, Zaha Hadid Architects (ZHA) is one of the 21st century's more celebrated and instantly recognisable practices in its field; its work often revered as shorthand for bold, pioneering design that defines the norms. International work, such as the Bergisel Ski Jump and the Phaeno Science Centre cemented the studio's reputation as such; but it was later work, such as the London Aquatics Centre for the 2012 Olympics and the Guangzhou Opera House, that catapulted ZHA to the next level and the global scene, with their radical and experimental design.
Now headed by practice principal Patrik Schumacher (following Hadid's untimely passing in 2016), the firm remains as dynamic as ever. And as Schumacher explains, China plays a key role in its on-going success: 'China allowed ZHA to take on big projects. China also values bold innovations. I still see China as the most promising arena for the next stage of our global expansion.'

The way cities develop in the Asian country is central to its role in the international architecture scene, he continues. 'China continues to urbanise and indeed has entered a new phase of urbanisation that is more aligned with the recent experiences and values of European city denisification and regeneration, as China shifts its economic strategy from manufacturing to R&D and the knowledge economy. This new wave of China's urbanisation is exciting and full of potential for ZHA. I think ZHA are ready to meet this challenge.'§

I made this house from card stock and furnished it with old pewter miniature furniture. The house measures 3 3/4" tall x 3" across including the base, and 3" deep. The doors do not close, they are in a fixed position and the furniture is glued in. If you remove the furniture the house will probably get ruined.
This is a display case that can be used for 1/144 scale miniatures, or a display for any miniature you can imagine inside. It would be nice in a general store to display food or what not, but it also makes a great 144th scale apartment. I added balconies, faux doors, a different interior shelf. And, I completely redid inside & out to resemble and old rustic building. This piece measures 4 1/2" high x 4 1/4" across x 2" deep. No accessories are included with the cabinet.

Happy 72nd Birthday Ringo Starr! Peace and Love!
Michelle	 July 7, 2012	 10 Comments
Happy 72nd Birthday, Ringo Starr! Peach and love right back atcha!
Here is a short interview by CNN with Ringo today on his birthday – and damn… I wish I looked that good now at the age of 47 – Ringo looks phenomenal! His only request is for everyone to spread his message of "peace and love." Also a brief surprise visit by Joe Walsh.
Several other video clips and photos follow the CNN interview today.
Here is someone's list of the Top 10 songs sung by Ringo.
Top 10 Beatles Songs Sung by Ringo Starr
Let's not forget Ringo as Atouk the cavemen in the movie Caveman, 1981 (the last video below is the full movie if you would like to watch it or save it for another time):

Ringo's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2010
Happy 72nd Birthday Ringo Starr! You are looking fantastic! Thanks for all the music and memories you have given to millions of people throughout the decades. Peace and love.

Last night, I went to The Fox Theater in Atlanta to see Ringo Starr and his All star Band including Steve Lukather (Toto) and Gregg Rolie (Santana & Journey), Richard Page Mr. Mister), Todd Rundgren (The Nazz, Utopia) , Mark Rivera (who has played with everybody except me), and Gregg Bissonette (Electric Light Orchestra, WaveGroup Sound). Not a bad little jazz combo! Quite a show, indeed! "With a Little Help From My Friends" followed by Lennon's "Give Peace A Chance" closed the show. Woof!
AWESOME! I'm so jealous… glad you got to go. Can you believe he's 72???
Brian Westbye says:
"What Goes On" for sure. That's one of Ringo's great writing credits as well. Gear!
Gear?
Hah! Ringo used "gear" as an adjective frequently. Sort of a catch-all like "awesome!"
Ah! I see. I must admit, I'm not a huge Beatles fan, but I have the utmost respect for their performance, talent and music.
OMG, 72. How did that happen? How dare he make me feel so old! I was in college when the
Beatles released their first album, which I promptly bought. I was a huge fan in their early years; they kind of lost me with Sgt. Pepper and later.
LOL… I was but a tot when their fame grew overnight. But his age still has the same affect… makes me feel old.


That's right guys, Superdrug have done it again!
Fueling my skincare product addiction while staying budget friendly has to be one of my favourite pastimes and the newest skincare range from Superdrug has left my skin and purse-strings very happy.
The latest range of FIVE products are all priced at £4.99 each and are a perfect for adding a little zing into your morning routine.
The whole range is formulated with Goji Berry and Kakadu Plum which are said to be amazing for the skin.
Kakadu Plum (I'll admit, I'd never heard of this) has the highest known concentration of Vitamin C of any food on the planet and the Goji Berry is already well known as a super fruit, known to induce calm, well being and energy.
I've been trying out three products from the range for over two weeks and for the price point alone, Superdrug always win on own brand skincare in my eyes.
The scent!!! Jeez I can't get enough of how damn fresh these products smell.
The packaging is pretty for an "own brand" product but I have a complaint on this product sadly.
The formula of the product is great but jeez, it's tough to get the product out of the tube.
The product is a gel cleanser but the opening on the tube is just TOO SMALL for the product consistency. It makes squeezing the product out quite tough which is really annoying.
However, once you get the product out and onto your face, it's a delight to use. The thick gel formula deeply cleanses the skin to remove excess oil without drying out the skin, while the orange peel extracts exfoliate away dead skill cells to leave skin smooth and fresh.
The exfoliating particles are quite large in this cleanser so this is a product to use once or twice a week but overall, I'm a fan and I will certainly repurchase (even with the annoying tube issue).
I'm a huge face mask fan and shared my love for the foodie face masks from Superdrug last month and the fact I was excited to try their Blueberry Jam Facemask.
Well, this Vitamin C Orange Peel Jam Face mask is what I imagine the jam foodie face mask to be like but with extra added vitamin goodness.
This is a product to apply with a brush for sure as it's pretty sticky but fun to work with.
The mask contains white sugar and orange peel to exfoliate, purify and brighten the skin and can produce a warming sensation on application which is pretty nifty.
Intended to be left on the skin for between 5/10 mins then massaged off - this is a mask that is ideal for a quick pamper session. I've used this product a few times before big nights out and it leaves the skin soft and revitalized.
I've spoken many times on the blog in the past about my issues with moisturising. I'm not a fan of really thick creams, I'm impatient and don't like waiting for products to absorb etc but this is a fast acting gel consistency that I get on with very well.
The formula is super light and refreshing when applied and I feel like my skin just drinks this product up and feels plump and ready for make up application after a few minutes.
We're best buds now and I'm buying more very soon as for just £4.99 we're going to get on very well.
Have you found any recent budget beauty or skincare products? I think the Invigorating Skin Booster 30ml is next on my shopping list for sure.
Are you a fan of Vitamin C in your skincare routine?
The orange peel jam face mask has definitely been added to my basket!
This looks like such a great range! I initially thought Body Shop from the packaging but the price point is so much better. I bet they smell incredible.
Superdrug have been absolutely killing it recently - these all look amazing!
The next time I'm in Superdrug I'm going to have a list as long as my arm to pick-up. I love the sound of the vitamin C in this and I love a good citrus/fruity smell. Are these products ok for sensitive skin?

WHAT IS EMERGENCY MEDICINE?
UNIQUE ASPECTS OF EMERGENCY MEDICINE PRACTICE
PRINCIPLES OF EMERGENCY MEDICINE
An emergency is commonly defined as any condition perceived by the prudent layperson—or someone on his or her behalf—as requiring immediate medical or surgical evaluation and treatment. On the basis of this definition, the American College of Emergency Physicians states that the practice of emergency medicine has the primary mission of evaluating, managing, and providing treatment to these patients with unexpected injury and illness.
So what does an emergency physician (EP) do? He or she routinely provides care and makes medical treatment decisions based on real-time evaluation of a patient's history; physical findings; and many diagnostic studies, including multiple imaging modalities, laboratory tests, and electrocardiograms. The EP needs an amalgam of skills to treat a wide variety of injuries and illnesses, ranging from the diagnosis of an upper respiratory infection or dermatologic condition to resuscitation and stabilization of the multiple trauma patient. Furthermore, these physicians must be able to practice emergency medicine on patients of all ages. It has been said that EPs are masters and mistresses of negotiation, creativity, and disposition. Clinical emergency medicine may be practiced in hospital emergency departments (EDs), both rural and urban, freestanding EDs, urgent care clinics, and other settings such as at mass gathering incidents, through emergency medical services (EMS), and in hazardous material and bioterrorism situations.
Emergency medicine serves as the US health care safety net. It provides valuable clinical and administrative services to the health care delivery system, including care for the indigent and others who lack access to health care, and has evolved as the most visible and vital component of a patchwork of health care providers and facilities. EDs have become the routine, and often the only, source of care for many of the uninsured, thereby acting as a critical safety net for our fragmented health care delivery system.
Finally, EDs are the only element of the health care system whose function has been delineated by federal law. Initially authorized in 1986, the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act mandates that all EDs provide screening, stabilization, and appropriate transfer to all patients with any medical condition. Emergency medicine is often the last resort for many patients and frequently the access point for competent, comprehensive, and efficient medical care.
An EP faces numerous challenges. The first and most distinctive challenge is that of limited time. Time constraints occur because of the severity and acuity of the illness and also because of the ever-present worry that someone else will need the physician's attention. Time constraints also occur because efficient throughput of patients has financial implications. The second challenge for the EP is that he or she needs to quickly assess and make therapeutic decisions on the basis of limited information. The EP may also be providing medical control for patients in the prehospital environment. In addition, ...

Produced in collaboration between NOAA's National Geodetic Survey (NGS) and The COMET Program, this video explains NOAA's VDatum tool and its role in facilitating height transformations between vertical datums including tidal, orthometric, and ellipsoidal datums. It also provides an overview of different types of vertical datums and how they may be used for different applications with a focus on coastal areas and navigation services. Leaders from NOAA as well as other government agencies such as the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) among others, along with GIS users, coastal managers and research scientists will find this 5 minute video helpful for understanding the importance of using consistent vertical datums when working with height information.
Recognize that height information may be referenced to different datums, and that different datums are used for different purposes.
