How to support a suicidal loved-one in a lock-down?
Mental health has been a challenge for almost all of us during this extended lock-down but for people who were already dealing with mental health issues, it has exacerbated it. Recently, I was contacted by a person who was looking for advice on dealing with a suicidal loved one. I understand that many of you may be in similar situations. With support systems unreachable it has fallen on family members, roommates, and friends to support their loved ones who are in really dark places. Here are some bits of advice I would like to leave with you. You don't have to be worried about using the words "suicide" or "ending your life" - it doesn't send them over the edge or gives them ideas. The very fact that you know means that they have thought about it many times already. Asking them specifically helps them understand that you take them seriously and are concerned. Avoid laughing it off or making light of the person or the idea. It can be very stressful to hear the word suicide and it makes all of us uncomfortable but don't try to diffuse the situation with humour. Instead, keep the person talking, go deeper and try to understand how they got there. Avoid toxic positivity. You may feel like the person has a great life and no reason to want to end it but this may not be the time or the place to say it. Forcing the person to look on the bright side of life, may make them feel even more misunderstood and they may not open up to you again. Instead, talk to them about how life is hard and sometimes the lows feel deeper than the highs and that can be tough. Talk to them about what has been making them feel low and empathise with them. Pray with them and for them. At this time, it is easy to give advice like pray more - you'll feel better. But it can be hard to pray when the person is depressed. So, stand in prayer with them and pray for them. Avoid making them feel like they don't have enough faith which is why they are feeling so low. In an emergency, go to the hospital emergency room. While doctors may not be sitting for normal clinic hours during the lock-down, the emergency room is open. If the person is getting to a point where you feel that things have become unmanageable, get them to the hospital to be medicated. After medication, the person needs to go in for therapy and counselling even if that is over the phone. Begin Again provides online counselling sessions that can be booked on the website. https://www.beginagainindia.com/book-online Take care of yourself. It is emotionally and mentally exhausting to carry another person's pain and you as a care giver can feel burnt out. It's okay to tap out and get help. Either with other family members or mental health professionals who will provide tele-counselling. Always remember that you are only human and you are doing the best you can. If you need support or more information please do reach out.

Hit me with your best shot - Mad Max: Fury Road
By s. Sunday, September 6, 2015 Hit me with your best shot, Mad Max: Fury Road
Mad Max: Fury Road is not only the only action movie in the world I'd call a masterpiece, a higher form of art all by its own, a crazed, beautiful ballet of violence and fight for survival but it's easily one of the most gorgeous movies ever made. To pick up a shot, a single shot that is the best in the film basically built out of incredible shots loaded with tons of meaning was not easy. Fury Road has a beautiful story and several wonderful relationships between characters often times encapsulated in the look in their eyes or in the composition of the shot. So I decided to go with the shot that shows so much of the film's most magnificent character - Furiosa, of its story and captures something action movies are not known for - depth and melancholy.
But before I get to talk about the shot I picked, let's appreciate the runner ups.
This is the film that has been in our cinematic lives for merely few months and yet shots like this one:
are already there in cinematic history. They are instantly recognizable not just because of the movie's unique look but also because when you see those shots while watching the film, you're just hit with so much power the movie loaded them up with.
Then there are straight up action shots, so astonishing that you are just too impressed to even try to wonder how the hell did they managed to shoot that:
There's Brothers in Arms sequence, my favorite one in the movie which features this amazing moment:
Then there is this moment, and just for this moment Theron should be getting nominated left and right. Her entire performance is astonishing and worthy of hall of fame along with Linda Hamilton and Sigourney Weaver but here, when Furiosa remembers the gesture from home and looks like a little girl, back when she was happy... Ripley and Connor are badass but it's Furiosa who wins when you think of how much emotion was written into this character and how beautiful her heart is.
Then there are these moments:
I'd write about them but I'm in a glass case of emotion right now and about the explode under the sheer power or Max and Furiosa' relationship.
But the shot I picked is this:
It just hit me so hard in the cinema I legit gasped. And normally, if Mad Max :Fury Road wasn't such a great blend of in your face and profound, I'd find the symbolism in that scene - the girls holding the lantern in the darkness, with worried Furiosa in the foreground - a bit much. But I can't because it's just so brilliant and there's nothing cliche or simple about what that shot has to say.
There, through a single visual, we know everything - we see worried Furiosa, seemingly crushing under the burden she took onto herself - not just escaping, but being the one who is the source of hope for these girls she liberated. But Furiosa needn't worry - it's these girls who are on their own a source of hope. The good and courageous who want to be free. Even though they spent their lives in servitude, having their body treated like property, much like Furiosa who was abducted and made into a soldier, these women never relinquished their innocence and goodness and they never let the evil, the corruption and the violence tarnish their souls. They asked Furiosa to help them and Furiosa, who is truly a wonderful action heroine, risks everything to lead them into safety. Even when she is on the verge of death her only heartbreaking words show her innocence in her destination - HOME. Whatever happens, just get them HOME.
It is this amazing amount of heart and qualities so often associated with women that actually makes Furiosa stand out and stand above even those of the most iconic female characters - Theron's Furiosa shows fear - when she does what she intended and changes the course of the Rig. She shows sadness - when Max tells her the girl went under the wheels. And she is not afraid to ask for help when she needs Max to drive the wheel. Even after years of slavery, Furiosa can show trust, hope and forgiveness. And the same goes for the girls she is saving.
And in this shot the hope burns - in the lantern and in Furiosa's eyes. The world was killed, but there are still things out there that makes the good ones go on.
One of the best day for night shots ever. I was wondering which shot you'll choose and I wasn't wrong when I thought about this one. Also my favorite shot, so perfect.
s. September 11, 2015 at 9:15 PM
So awesome it's your fav shot too!
thevoid99 September 6, 2015 at 10:53 PM
That is one of my favorite shots ever and certainly why I think it's the best film of the year so far.
Same here! :)
Great article! Fully justified choice of best shot in the movie.
However my favorite shot is the one after she gets stabbed and her look at one of the girls which gets abducted into the vehicle of Immortan - how determined she is to get her back, regardless of how bleak the situation is.
After that what follows is my favorite action sequence in the movie, in perfect combination with the soundtrack and the way it was directed. Despite Brothers In Arms being an almost equally good one, this one is I think even crazier, more heart pumping and cinematic, and I absolutely love it.
s. September 11, 2015 at 10:46 PM
Oh God that entire scene was just amazing, I love how at one point she is in so much pain and Max looks at her, horrified that he may lose her
Right!? But then there's not time for that. The vehicle he was driving started exploding. In yet another amazing scene.
m.brown September 6, 2015 at 11:54 PM
I would have never been able to choose my favorite shot from this film, but I certainly like your selection. I can't wait to see this one again.
s. September 9, 2015 at 10:39 PM
Same here, gonna see it again on Friday!
Brian Zitzelman September 7, 2015 at 12:12 AM
Terrific Stuff here.
Aditya B September 7, 2015 at 2:22 PM
Great choice, and I loved the way you explained it. This film is chock full of amazing shots. Fury Road is going to change the way people make action films, I hope so anyway.
Thank you! I hope so too, other action movies are crap comparing to this
msmariah September 7, 2015 at 8:23 PM
I completely agree. That scene was so beautifully shot. Every scene was beautifully shot. I think the last time I gave a movie 5 out of 5 stars was 'Gravity.' 'Fury Road' was perfection. I can't wait for George Miller to take over the Man of Steel franchise. We might actually get to see a comic book masterpiece.
I kinda hope Miller just gives up on Superman and focus all his energy on more Mad Max :)
What a lovely post!! There are SO many great shots from this film but I LOVE the one you chose. It's really about Furiosa's journey and her bravery & kindness to rescue those girls. It's such an emotional scene indeed.
Thank you! Love this movie so much
IceColdFire612 September 8, 2015 at 8:05 AM
I most certainly LOVE the shot you choose as, you said it perfectly, encapsulates everything about this masterpiece. But I have to go with the first shot in your post as my absolute favorite. Never have I felt this much anguish and despair in a fictional character (done beautifully by Thereon) in the past....God knows how long. The backdrop of the sands being blown away also symbolize this very thing, bit by bit, pieces of her very will to live start to 'literally',turn to dust and fade away and made her character very easy to empathize with, distinguishing her from every other female-led action character (or any lead character for that matter)
I loved that Furiosa had so many feelings and wasn't your typical cold badass female in action movie. For me that places her above Connor and Ripley - she was much more human and also very feminine
Such a fantastic choice! I actually haven't seen that image until you posted it! This still holds the number one slot for me this year...it simply cannot be beat yet...if at all. And I hate action. But this is just perfection. Great shots!
Thank you! I don't think anything will beat this for me this year, so glad to see people loving this movie!
Josh October 22, 2015 at 5:27 AM
Brilliant post! That shot is SO good, and the film is still my #1 of the year. Frankly, I think only The Revenant, Carol, or Macbeth could beat it at this point.

Pokemon Let's GO! will feature a new Pokemon
May 31, 2018	 Posted by	Leo Stevenson News
Yesterday, Nintendo and The Pokemon Company officially announced Pokemon Let's GO! Pikachu/Eevee. Taking inspiration from the classic Pokemon Yellow and Pokemon GO, Let's GO! is an all-new way to play.
It was also revealed that the next entry in the core Pokemon series will be released in 2019.
Pokemon Let's GO! is designed to bring back the feelings of those classic Pokemon games. It's set in Kanto, it features the original 151 Pokemon and allows your Pokemon to follow behind.
It was thought that only the first 151 Pokemon would be included, but today we're learning that that's not the case.
New Pokemon
At the very end of the trailer for Pokemon Let's GO!, players are told to prepare for a special Pokemon. It's now been revealed, by the Pokemon Company CEO and the Pokemon Twitter account, that this is a new Pokemon.
This new Pokemon is one that's never been seen before and will make its debut in Pokemon Let's GO!
Pokemon CEO: one completely new Pokemon will be in the game. Completely all new
— Yuji Nakamura (@ynakamura56) May 30, 2018
No additional details about this new Pokemon have been revealed as yet, but it has been confirmed that the new Pokemon is entirely new and not just a new form of an existing Pokemon.
Given that there's a Pokemon Let's GO! Eeevee edition, an obvious suggestion as to the new Pokemon is a brand new evolution of Eevee. If that was the case, it would make a lot more sense to get the Eevee version over Pikachu's.
Whatever this new Pokemon is, we're going to have to wait to find out.
Even more news! Trainers, the special Pokémon referenced at the end of the #PokemonLetsGo trailer is referring to a Pokémon never seen before! pic.twitter.com/Vm8uCAhHSJ

Commentary Real World
Dad Hits Florida Beach, 2 Days Later He's Dead from 'Urban Legend' Bacteria
By Ryan Ledendecker
Published July 13, 2019 at 1:40pm
It's summertime, which means millions of Americans partake in an annual tradition of hitting the beach for a much-needed getaway.
While most beaches are full of natural dangers, there's a microscopic danger that you might not be aware of — and it's absolutely horrific.
Just ask Cheryl Bennett Wiygul from Niceville, Florida, who wrote a tragic account of how her father recently died from a fatal case of flesh-eating bacteria, which is something that many write off as nothing more than an "urban legend."
Wiygul described how her father contracted a case of the sometimes fatal bacteria and how it claimed his life within 48 hours of contact, according to CBS News.
According to Wiygul, she and her family had been extremely cautious and sealed up cuts and used sunblock before partaking in water-based activities, given her father's long battle with cancer and his compromised immune system.
"He was happy and talkative, seemed to feel fine as he did all week. About 4:00 a.m. Saturday morning, 12 hours after we were in the water, he woke up with a fever, chills and some cramping," Wiygul wrote in a Facebook post.
She then said that they'd already planned to head back to Memphis that morning so they could get her father back to where his doctors were located, just to make sure nothing really bad was happening.
Apparently, on the car ride back to Memphis, the situation took a nasty turn.
"He got worse on the way home. His legs started to hurt severely. He was becoming extremely uncomfortable. My Dad has been through a lot and he is not a complainer so he had to have been in a lot of pain to vocalize it," she wrote.
Do you think beaches should post warning signs about the bacteria?
96% (1871 Votes)
Making matters worse, Wiygul recounted telling her mother to tell the hospital staff that a massive black wound on his back was flesh-eating bacteria, necrotizing fasciitis, only to be shot down by a staffer, who claimed that media reports of that particular condition were blown out of proportion.
Stunningly, the hospital reportedly didn't take a biopsy of the bizarre-looking black wound. Ultimately, the downward spiral he was on came to a tragic end.
"His arms were becoming more blotchy by the minute and he was in a great deal of pain. Some of the nurses said they'd never seen anything like it. At 1 a.m. he became septic and they moved him into ICU. He coded shortly after and they had to bring him back," Wiygul wrote.
"My dad had a lot of medical issues but heart was not one of them. They had to intubate him. He coded again. They said his organs were too damaged and his blood was too acidic to sustain life. He was gone by Sunday afternoon."
RELATED: WHO Declares Global Emergency After Ebola Hits 'Gateway' to the World
The horrific incident came on the heels of a similar situation that unfolded a week prior, after a 12-year-old girl from Indiana contracted the bacteria in Florida, according to CBS News. Though she didn't die, the recovery process will take months.
Wiygul and presumably others who've experienced this rare and deadly encounter with nature have become strong advocates for proper signage at popular beaches that would warn beachgoers of the potential dangers of the potentially deadly bacteria lurking in the water.
"There is not enough education out there about the bacteria in the water. There needs to be signs posted at every beach, every city and state park, and every bayou stating that "due to naturally occurring bacteria in the water people with open wounds or compromised immune systems should not enter," Wiygul wrote.
Though a majority of healthy people probably don't need to worry, there are plenty of folks out there with medical conditions that should be fully informed of the possible dangers of contracting this very real and very deadly disease.
Our thoughts and prayers go out for Wiygul and her family while they endure a difficult healing process. Hopefully, others will take notice and spread awareness, which could save lives down the road.

Rooted in the shared ideals of the French and American Revolutions, the French-American relationship has evolved greatly from the bonds established more than two centuries ago. From the Battle of Yorktown to the Invasion of Normandy, the French-American alliance has grown stronger and stronger throughout the years. After all, it is not by coincidence that Eleanor Roosevelt, former First Lady, and René Cassin, Nobel Peace Prize winner, collaborated to write the Universal Declaration of the Rights of Man over 50 years ago.
As our nations confront great challenges in a world of uncertainty, the strength of the French- American relationship remains strong. Political collaboration through the United Nations and the G8, military collaboration through NATO, and economic collaboration through various public and private sector initiatives continue to enhance our relationship and bring France and the United States closer than ever before.

Dieu Huyen, representing Vietnam at the 2013 Supermodel International modeling contest, placed second at the competition's finale in Bangkok, Thailand, on November 2.
The crown went to Mernisa from Bosnia and Herzegovina while third place was presented to Irina from Finland.
At the contest, Huyen impressed the jury and audiences with her beautiful body, friendly personality, and fluent English. Huyen also won the title Fashionista Model during the Special Awards.
Huyen was born in 1989 in the coastal city of Vung Tau. In 2012, after a short time modeling locally, she attended Vietnam's supermodel contest and won teh silver prize.
Supermodel International is an annual Bangkok-based international modeling contest formed in 2011 by Pradinunt Production Company Limited. Last year, Vietnamese Ngoc Oanh finished third at the competition.


Sattler, a psychologist from Los Angeles, is one in a billion. That's about the number of annual guest nights in the American hotel industry. And for every guest, there is at least one pet peeve – and often many.
It's the perfect time to talk about what bothers you. You'll probably find yourself in a hotel during the upcoming travel season. Instead of getting irritated, I have a few pro tips for remaining calm and unbothered even when the annoyance is unavoidable.
There are no comprehensive surveys on this topic. A recent Expedia poll suggests guests were most annoyed by other guests. The top offenders: inattentive parents (72 percent), followed by hallway hell-raisers (69 percent) and in-room revelers (59 percent). Complainers ranked fourth (53 percent). Ouch.
Another survey conducted by Huno.com, an Australian hotel booking site, found that dirty rooms, uncomfortable beds and bad service topped the list of guest annoyances.
Some problems are easily fixed. Sattler, for example, brings extra Advil on the road. "Your lavender bath is my migraine," she says. Another solution: asking for a scent-free or hypoallergenic room. Hotels strip their signature scents, air fresheners and smelly soaps from those rooms so you can breathe freely.
"Just a minute," I say.
Could they at least stop using a key card to knock on the door?
Alarm clocks rank as Hilary Stockton's top hotel gripe.
"Those hotel alarm clocks still set for an ungodly hour are so annoying," says Stockton, a frequent hotel guest who is also chief executive of a luxury travel company. She always double-checks the alarm before going to bed to make sure it's switched off. If she can't figure out how to turn off the alarm – a valid concern, given how complicated the devices can be – she asks housekeeping to remove the noisy timepiece.
Some annoyances are preventable with a little planning. Take slow Wi-Fi, for example, which is so common that I've stopped thinking about it.
Borghese brings her own wireless hotspot so she doesn't have to rely on a hotel's connection. It also allows her to avoid the daily fee for wireless internet, which at some full-service hotels can add more than $10 a day to your folio.
How about the perennial noise problem? Janet Ruth Heller often finds herself in a room "near a noisy wedding or other party group," in which it's impossible to sleep.
"People in this group shout to one another in the hotel hallway at 2 a.m. when most people are sleeping," says Heller, who runs a nonprofit organization in Portage, Michigan. Her solution: Before checking in, she requests a quiet room – usually the one farthest away from an elevator and several floors above or below a ballroom.
Worst-case scenario? Use those earplugs that the hotel offers you. When I stayed at the Railroad House Inn in Marietta, Pennsylvania, a few years ago, I used them to shield me from the noise of a freight train that rolled down the track at Zero Dark Hundred. Same thing for the fighter jets conducting late-night maneuvers while I stayed at Fort Casey Inn on Washington's Whidbey Island. A quiet room didn't exist anywhere in the hotel.
Inevitably, one of the most annoying features of any hotel is the bathroom. Too often, properties treat their bathrooms as an afterthought, offering too little counter space, insufficient lighting or inadequate privacy to their guests.
What's even more annoying is that hotels don't seem to care. It's not as if guests choose their accommodations based on the restrooms. Have you ever heard a traveler say, "I booked a room at that hotel because it has amazing bathrooms?" Neither have I.
This is something for which you can't prepare. You have to assume your hotel bathroom will annoy. Pack an extension cord – because there are never enough power outlets – a vanity mirror with a light and your preferred soaps and shampoos.
My fix for the rapping-on-the-door housekeepers? Either leave the room and find a quiet spot in the lobby while they clean my room, or hang the "Do Not Disturb" sign. Sometimes, the only solution to a hotel annoyance is to walk away from the problem.
Whatever irks you, remember that you don't have to spend your next hotel stay in a perpetual state of irritation. I mean, what kind of vacation is that, anyway?

Disney + Streams Hamilton Magnificently in Response to a World in Crisis
Lin Manuel-Miranda as Alexander Hamilton and Christopher Jackson as George Washington.
The Streaming Experience: Hamilton Streams Magnificently on Disney + Just in the Nick of Time
By Ross
So I ask myself, "what can I say about this show that has had so much written about it from the theatre press and beyond?" I wrote that refrain back in 2016 when I finally had the opportunity to see this stellar genre-redefining musical that had taken Broadway by storm, and now takes over the streaming world of 2020 thanks to Disney +. The film is directed and produced by Thomas Kail and produced, written, and composed by Lin-Manuel Miranda, who also stars in the titular role of the first Treasury Secretary and Founding Father Alexander Hamilton, along with the original principal Broadway cast of the musical. The film version of Hamilton was originally intended to be released theatrically on October 15, 2021, but thankfully, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, it was released digitally worldwide by Disney+ on July 3, 2020.

It sorta does suck, in a way, that we all had to sign up to Disney + just to see Hamilton- an American Musical, when so many other shows are being streamed for free, with the hopes of amassing donations for the theatre companies they are associated with or for charities like BCEFA (please donate some more by clicking here) who are helping all those people who are out of work, struggling because of COVID19, and the closing of all things theatrical. Just remember, as you watch the streaming on Disney +, all those that we are seeing on that Broadway stage when Hamilton was filmed, are, I'm guessing, out of work, and when those horrible GOP senators take away the additional COVID19 unemployment funds as they are planning on doing, pretty much all who work in theatre (or connected to the theatre) are going to be in a very tight difficult state as it doesn't look like the lights will come up on Broadway and beyond for at least six more months. I hope Disney + is donating some of the money they are bringing in to help those folks, I know I did.

So with that upsetting thought in mind, I'm going to step back to the time when Broadway as alive and well, and Hamilton was taking over Broadway. We bought our tickets hours before the show opened on Broadway in August of 2015. Wanting to get good seats on a Thursday night, we searched and searched dates until we finally found four great seats in the second row center of the front mezzanine on February 4th, 2016. It was a long way off, but I knew we had spent our theatre cash wisely. I am a very patient person, generally speaking, but I was itching to see this show from the day I first heard about it at the Public Theater. Why I didn't see it when it first premiered downtown, I can't really say, but this was the year when this blog first made its appearance, and I wasn't privy to all the press invites that would come my way later that year. I also must admit that I was one of the few that was not blown away by In The Heights. I remember sitting in the exuberant audience watching that show, Lin-Manuel Miranda's take of Romeo and Juliet and thinking, well this is cute and sweet, but I'm definitely out of step with everyone else going crazy all around me. It's funny when that happens. Maybe it was the day, or my mood, or both (which happens sometimes, even with the best of shows), but Hamilton intrigued me from the moment I heard about the historical subject matter and the stylistic musical ideas swirling around it.
The other thing I remember is that crazy in-person lottery that took over the street outside of the Richard Rodgers theater before every performance. I tried to win a $10 lottery ticket numerous times since purchasing our seats, and I have to tell you, it was both a bit disheartening and a whole lot of exciting to turn up at the theatre a little more than two hours before the show to find hundreds and hundreds of other hopeful people throwing their names in that lottery bucket. I was a bit ashamed to stand there amongst the swelling crowd with the internal knowledge that I actually did have a ticket but didn't want to wait until February to get my first view of this show. I did not tell anyone at the theatre as we stood and prayed and crossed our fingers (slightly hard to do with winter gloves on…just saying) out of a bit of shame and guilt. I never did win, but I was glad for those squealing fans who did; those who got their chance to witness this phenomenon (and I am going to willingly believe that each and every one of them had a/not seen it yet, b/did not own a ticket for a future date like me, c/could only afford the $10 ticket price for the front row seat they just won, and d/were basically living saints, who were finally getting some payback for all the good they had done in their lives so far).

I proclaimed, back then quite gladly, that I was completely intoxicated by Lin-Manuel Miranda's Hamilton – An American Musical. And I still am as I watch it once again on Disney +. It is exquisitely directed by Thomas Kail (MCC Theater's The Wrong Man) with an awe-inspiring drive and passion for its subject, and for history itself. It has an energy, a beat, a rhythm, and a rebelliousness that is most fitting to our time and place, sweeping us up and keeping us thoroughly engaged and enchanted from beginning to end, even in its filmed streaming structure (or maybe even more so because of it). It's a powerhouse production telling the sorted tale of this pushy historical figure, Alexander Hamilton, played with upmost integrity by the uber-talented Miranda (Disney's 'Mary Poppins Returns') and the band of rebels that he ran around with and that ran around him.
Lin-Manuel Miranda (center) and the cast of Hamilton.
The story of America's founding fathers – Hamilton, George Washington, played most heroically by the astounding and very handsome Christopher Jackson (Broadway's After Midnight), Thomas Jefferson, played by the incredible Daveed Diggs (sadly, I didn't have the pleasure of seeing Diggs when I saw it on Broadway, but Seth Stewart in this role, and also the role of Marquis De Lafayette was absolutely wonderful), and James Madison, beautifully portrayed by Okieriete Onaodowan (Broadway's Rocky The Musical), who also plays Hercules Mulligan, is really about a wildly driven bunch of rebels trying to change the world they live in, much like Miranda himself has done to Broadway musical theatre. Using the musical forms of rap, hip-hop, and R&B ballads, he finds his way most electrically through, pushing the history lesson forward with a power that is both enlightening and invigorating. It's a musical theatre revolution in its own right by using non-traditional musical forms that feel, initially, at odds with the subject and historical time period, but expertly find their way to be perfectly in tune with the minds and hearts of these people of the revolution. The ethnically diverse cast is extremely well suited for the task of telling this high-energy slice of American history and never give up one precious moment. It's like attending the most thrilling history lecture by a fast-talking caffeinated professor and a whole bunch of excited assistants, that for some sleepy minded students, the first few scenes are almost too fast and with too much information. Even on second viewing, I had to dig into the history books a bit to really get what was going on, but luckily because of the grand nature of the pause button and Google/Wikipedia, this Canadian was up to the challenge.

Watching this show on my laptop was like driving on a multi-lane highway in a powerful fast car, slowing down every once and a while to drive through a picturesque town and take in the beautiful surroundings. Miranda, at times, speeds through time doling out historical facts with precision but then slows down just enough to enrapture us with romantic entanglements and emotionally complicated ballads and R&B classically crafted songs, like the wonderful 'The Schuyler Sisters' sung by the breathtaking trio of Phillipa Soo, as Eliza, his wife, Renee Elise Goldsberry as Angelica, and Jasmine Cephas Jones as Peggy. It seems whenever we are given a delicious moment to explore the developing triangular love and sexual life of Alexander Hamilton, the musical gives itself a moment to take some much needed deep and emotional breathes. We are given gifts aplenty in these carefully crafted scenarios, like the gorgeous and entwined 'Helpless' and "Satisfied'. I also loved the sensual sound of Jasmine Cephas Jones's (2015 film 'Mistress America') voice in her other role as Maria Reynolds, the married woman who seduces Hamilton and almost brings the famous man down.

Although Hamilton – An American Musical is crafted to center itself on the lead character's rise from poor orphan to power and fame, the real emotional center of the piece seems to be the man who literally brings down Hamilton. Aaron Burr, beautifully played by magnificent Leslie Odom Jr. (Encores! Off-Center's Tick, Tick… Boom!). He carries the show forward with his ever-changing introduction to Hamilton's upbringing with his stellar voice and unmistakable stage presence, especially in his rousing number 'The Room Where it Happens'. He is a force, and for me, the star of the show, or at least the dramatic core.

It would also be criminal to write about Hamilton and not mention Jonathan Groff's hilarious performance as King George III. Groff (off-Broadway's Little Shop of Horrors) is most definitely a Broadway genius, from the moment he makes his grand entrance, and performs his neo-British pop number, 'You'll Be Back' to every other time he sets foot on the stage. His presence is pure stage royalty, finding the spotlight with every gesture and wink. It's the greatest gig and gift a performer can get and give; four numbers on stage with perfectly written songs and moments, killing it each and every time. I couldn't get enough.

Beyond that, the rest of the cast is exceptional, singing with intensity all of those incredibly well-written songs, melting and blending historical references with modern language, altering style, and slang, and giving us a visual spectacular this is balletic and graceful, with power and edge. The set design by David Korins (Broadway'sWar Paint) is earthy and time-framed perfect, with the revolving space being utilized most amazingly well by the exciting and compelling choreography of Andy Blankenbuehler (Broadway's Bandstand). It's a marvel to take it all in visually, enhanced at every turn of the dial by the amazing projections and lighting design of Howell Binkley (Broadway's Jersey Boys). The craftsmanship can not be ignored, nor was it on Tony Award night in the spring of 2016. Hamilton received a record-setting 16 nominations, eventually winning 11 awards, including Best Musical. It also, most rightly, received the 2016 Pulitzer Prize for Drama.
Phillipa Soo, Lin-Manuel Miranda, and Anthony Ramos Martinez.
Act One is an adrenaline-fueled history lesson in politics, war, and revolution but it is in Hamilton's heart where love, in Act Two, is the clincher. In that creation, the show finds its emotional core and depth, even causing the young 6-year-old Rhys to sob mainly because of Hamilton's son, played dynamically by Anthony Ramos Martinez (Broadway's In The Heights), and the deadly duel's outcome. "His favorite character was the king…he liked the battles, and was saddened by the deaths….He also first cried when Angelica didn't get Hamilton" but ultimately, and most inspiringly, his very proud mother stated that "The play is making him sad." Isn't that the best thing ever? And her daughter, 8-year-old Hazel, who has made many a frontmezzjunkies appearance, quite naturally had just so so many questions that the pause button was being fully utilized in that household (now who does this video remind me of, down below. It's from 'Frozen II' which I watched the night after). Now those are two five-star reviews if there ever were any (and there were, but these two tell a whole more optimistic tale than even my review).
It is truly amazing what Miranda has done here on stage and in this filmed version now available on Disney +. He has made these stiff dull men, many who were actually slave owners themselves, leap out of the history books and captivate us on a whole new level. He has made the creation of this country and its constitution exciting, lively, energetic, and utterly modern. DPAC Official Site states most rightly, that Hamilton – An American Musical is about "America then, as told by America now." And it couldn't come at a more needed moment when racial inequality and the Black Lives Matter movement is at the forefront of the cultural conversation. That mendacious monster in the White House can call the peaceful protest whatever he wants, but we know what needs to be done, and I hope we all have the drive and the audacity to oust him and his party in November and change the world we live in for the better, much like Lin-Manuel Miranda did to Broadway and the world with his Hamilton. "We stand on the side of justice. Black Lives Matter" (as stated on HamiltonMusical's twitter account). Take action.
Jonathan Groff kills it majestically as King George III.

Well, it is not at all true, if you think that scientists mess up their minds finding truths about our life, the reality of our evolution and whether the change in climate is happening faster than expected due to other than natural phenomenon. No, they do not! It does not at all mean that they know everything about the universe and the existence of all the matter that it is made up of. What they want is answers to the unsolved science mysteries that question the existence of something.
The current understanding of particle physics says that matter and antimatter in the universe should be equal in existence but are opposite in nature. This means that when they meet together they should destroy one another leaving nothing behind. However, the reality seems to be different with matter existing in the universe is more than antimatter.
When the temperatures were absolutely at high in the early universe, the isotopes of hydrogen, lithium and helium were all in abundance, But now, although hydrogen and helium are making up almost all of the universe, the absence of hydrogen in the universe is unclear to the scientists whether the current technology is unable to discover it.
We know that humans spend a third of their time, all sleeping. But, we don't know why do we follow this circadian clock of sleep and wake cycle.
Scientists until now are still in doubt about, how the gravity actually works, by sticking us and other objects to the surface of the earth. If the moon's gravity causes tides, earth's gravity keeps us to the surface, and the gravity of sun keeps the planets in orbit, scientists are unable to understand whether the gravity is a particle, and how it actually works.
This is called as Fermi Paradox, whether earth is the only planet with life, or still there is any other in the billions of galaxies with lots of planets and stars.
Almost 80% of all the matter in the universe is dark matter itself, which does not emit any light and stays dark always. Scientists are still unable to find out what exactly is this dark matter made up of, and there are only theories about that suggest some particles.
What did bring life onto this earth, what are the reasons for the evolution of life on this earth? There are only various models explaining about the formation of life on this earth. But, until now, there is no proper practically proven model of explaining why there is life on earth.
This might be surprising for you. But, it is actually true that the continental plates beneath the earth are forever moving, and are the reasons for rearranging continents, causing earthquakes, forming mountains and volcanic eruptions. But, the reason is still unanswered.
The changing seasons and other climatic conditions cause many animals and insects to move from one place to another for every period of time. But, how do they know where to go, and how do they find out the path, is not answered until now.
The most enigmatic of all mysteries is the dark energy. Scientists have still not yet been able to answer what is the dark energy and how is it the cause of the expansion of the universe.

Nigeria: Found First Missing Girl Abducted By Boko Haram In 2014
May 19, 2016 Al Bawaba News 0 Comments
By Al Bawaba News
The first of more than 200 young women abducted two years ago by Islamist extremist group Boko Haram from north-eastern Nigeria's Chibok village has been found in Borno State.
Falmata Mbalala was found Tuesday in Baale Village near the town of Damboa, only a few kilometres from where she was kidnapped in 2014, according to army spokesman Sani Usman. She is believed to have escaped from nearby Sambisa Forest, where Boko Haram is known to have secret camps.
The girl was found by a vigilante group, who handed her over to the military, Allen Manasseh, a spokesman of the Chibok community told dpa on Wednesday. Her parents as well as the vice principal of the school in Chibok, from which Mbalala was abducted, identified her, Manasseh added.
Mbalala remained in military custody on Wednesday for further questioning, according to the Chibok spokesman.
