The Dark Hunger by Joelle Sterling is the second installment to the Eternal Dead Series. The first book left off with Jonas returning back to Haiti in search of Mamba Mathilde to see if the curse that was put upon him could be removed. Holland is sent away to Stoneham Academy, a school that she will be able to learn more about the witchcraft she possesses and how to use it.
In the meantime the city of Frombleton seems to have gone crazy. The once peaceful town is now under a shroud of terror. A foreman of one of the onion fields that the immigration workers tend suddenly turns on one of the field hands named Pedro, and bites his flesh all the way down to the bone. Pedro is sent to the hospital. His wounds are so bad that it is a wonder he has survived. Or, has he? When Pedro awakens in the hospital madness ensues and no one, not even the hospital employees are safe and no one on the streets of Frombleton or the surrounding area is either, with these Zombies/flesh eaters on the prowl for fresh meat.
Not only are there zombies roaming the area but there is a new Vampire that has come to town since the demise of the leader, and his purpose is to become not only the leader but to rule the town of Frombleton. His idea: that humans are to be at the vampires beck and call when their hunger arises. If not, then they will be punished severly.
Although, before leaving, Jonas promised to stay in touch with Holland he feels as if Holland would be better off without him. He refuses to reach out to her, with the hopes that Holland would just forget about him. The love he has for her causes him to ache to kiss and touch her but he knows deep down that she is better off without him. Unfortunately, he is unable to rest with the image embedded in his mind that Holland may be in danger. Not only that but his mind will not let him rest with the cries and screams from those he has spawned. Now it is up to Jonas to go back to lead those of his pack and hopefully get Holland out of harm's way before it is too late.
The Dark Hunger by Joelle Sterling was a very good read. It has more action than the previous book, Midnight Cravings, and it has the reader on the edge of their seat wondering how this story is going to play itself out. Who will survive the zombies or the vampires? The story is very graphic when it comes to the flesh eaters but Ms. Sterling does a great job in being as descriptive as she can, the story will play out like a well scripted movie in the readers head.


CloudClinik is an EMR and Practice Management System.
Working with CloudClinik has been a wonderful experience. It has been almost 7 months since I implemented CloudClinik in my practice. It is simple, convenient and backup free which is the best part. I can access it from anywhere and view my notes, check my appointments, check my financial statements.
I am working with CloudClinik since last 4 months and I'm really happy to see that CloudClinik establishes a source for our patients to be able to access their information about appointments and treatment history online. The design of system is far more than what we envisaged. It is very sleek and simple to use eHealth application with all the features required by any ENT specialist. I'm enjoying CloudClinik more now and I strongly recommend them.
The core functionalities of CloudClinik are unparalleled in Qatar, but the after sale service and responsiveness is light years ahead of the other solutions we've looked at, and is at an international level.
I had been looking for an EMR software for a year. I had tried a few American softwares before deciding on CloudClinik, all of them lacked the technological solution I was looking for. I have two practices running in Lahore and needed a solution that could help me manage both of my facilities. Now with CloudClinik I have an integrated system that manages both of my facilities, on top of that it is very easy to use. I was truly impressed by the services of the implementation team who set up CloudClinik in our facilities.
The team behind CloudClinik delivered the right product that fit-in with our requirements. CloudClinik helps with the patient flow - from scheduling patients to taking down their history. It is user friendly, and it is tailored to our practice so I am comfortable using it. CloudClinik team is striving hard to provide the best customer support and continuously improving their product.

I love planning trips as birthday celebrations, and Tristan's first birthday was no exception. The first birthday is extra special in many cultures, so I know I'm not alone in feeling like parents deserve a real treat after surviving a steep learning curve, 365 sleepless nights and messes that shall remain nameless! I'm partially kidding… I know that's not the real reason the first year is a milestone… but I'm totally serious about celebrating myself as much as my child.
After monitoring flights on Skyscanner for a few weeks, I decided on Copenhagen and booked a long weekend in April. In spite of the fact that Copenhagen is very expensive – much more so than London – the airfare between the two cities is super affordable. At least that helps to offset the pricey weekend overall! The kids and I flew to Copenhagen from London, and Matt flew in from a business trip.
We stayed at an Airbnb in K∅dbyen, part of the Vesterbro Meatpacking District, which has come into its own with an incredible array of restaurants and galleries. Even if you don't stay in this part of town, you're sure to end up at a restaurant here! It's got a cool vibe and is more affordable than the Nyhavn waterfront area.
The Nyhavn colours and boats are what most people associate with Copenhagen, but we had so much fun wandering around and photographing the unique neighbourhoods. From the strange wall murals in Vesterbro to the old cobbled roads near Nyhavn, our kids were as engaged as we were.
Aside from wandering around the beautiful city and enjoying what is often called the world's "best city for quality of life", you really must not miss the Louisiana Museum. I really can't emphasise this enough! We were blown away by the sheer beauty of the grounds, from which you can see Sweden on a clear day. The art collection is beautifully curated and displayed; the kids museum is an astounding four floors of crafts and activities (all included in your entry), and you can bring a picnic or eat at the excellent cafe. Had we known, we would have planned to spend all day there. Matt and I agree that it's a cornerstone of any 36 Hours in Copenhagen itinerary, and we'll never skip it!
We went rogue and visited the Louisiana Museum instead of Tivoli Gardens. Matt promised to take me to Tivoli the next time we visit Copenhagen, when the kids are old enough to go on rides! It's the theme park that inspired Walt Disney and I've never heard of anyone else skipping it.
I highly recommend both Mikkeller locations we visited, each with a drool-worthy and extensive list of craft beers on tap. Warpigs also serves up legit excellent barbecue (I grew up in Texas, so yes, I was surprised!), and has high chairs and a changing table. Øl & Br∅d by Mikkeller offers elevated, classic Danish food. You will need a reservation for Øl & Br∅d, and they happily accommodate children.
We indulged in an innovative and pricey dinner at H∅st, which was definitely not kid-friendly — no high chairs, and on the phone they tried to discourage me. They don't actually have a no-children policy, and they were friendly when we arrived for our (kid-friendly) reservation time of 5:30pm with 2 kids under 2 years old, but I wouldn't do it again.
We loved morning coffee and pastries at a bakery called Br∅d in Vesterbro. You cannot go wrong at Lagkagehuset, although it's much pricier and also available in London (Ole & Steen).
People-watching with ice cream at the Nyhavn harbour is hard to beat!
Gather your belongings and travel snacks, and take the train back to the airport!

International observers monitor as Venezuelans cast ballots in local elections Opposition candidates participated in state and local elections in Venezuela for the first time in years, having concluded that boycotts only strengthened the government of President Nicolás Maduro.
International observers monitor as Venezuelans cast ballots in local elections
John Otis
Opposition candidates participated in state and local elections in Venezuela for the first time in years, having concluded that boycotts only strengthened the government of President Nicolás Maduro.
Polling stations in Venezuela started closing with no indication of where the results stood for the election of the country's governors and mayors. But after boycotts in 2018 and 2020, this time opposition candidates made an all-out effort to win. John Otis is in Caracas with this report.
JOHN OTIS, BYLINE: Voters lined up at this polling place in Caracas on Sunday, where security guards sprayed their hands with disinfectant before allowing them inside. Citing a deep economic crisis, many were thrilled to see opposition candidates back on the ballots.
MIRNA HERNANDEZ: (Speaking Spanish).
OTIS: "I don't like anything about this government because they can't fix anything," said Mirna Hernandez, who voted for a slate of opposition candidates.
OTIS: Most opposition candidates refused to participate in the last three elections, claiming the results were rigged. In addition, the government has banned prominent candidates and forced others into exile or prison. But these boycotts gave President Nicolas Maduro's ruling Socialist Party total control over every government institution.
ANDRES SCHLOETER: (Speaking Spanish).
OTIS: "Unfortunately, the strategy didn't work," says Andres Schloeter, an opposition candidate for mayor in the eastern Caracas district of Sucre. "The opposition became much weaker."
OTIS: Ahead of Sunday's vote, the government made a few concessions, like allowing electoral observers from the European Union. Still, the opposition was shut out of state-run media. They also ran their campaigns on a shoestring due to the economic crisis.
KEVIN O'REILLY: Look; we got to welcome their participation in Venezuela's public debate, men and women in the arena, despite the unfairness and the long odds.
OTIS: That's Kevin O'Reilly, the top U.S. diplomat for Latin America, speaking at a recent forum.
O'REILLY: But the real objective has to remain truly free and fair elections for president.
OTIS: For his part, Maduro crowed about early indications that his ruling party had done well in Sunday's balloting.
PRESIDENT NICOLAS MADURO: (Speaking Spanish).
OTIS: Speaking at a news conference, he predicted the results would usher in a new era of peace and stability for Venezuela.
For NPR News, I'm John Otis in Caracas.
[POST-BROADCAST CORRECTION: This story incorrectly referred to Kevin O'Reilly as "the top U.S. diplomat for Latin America." The top diplomat is the assistant secretary of state for Western Hemisphere affairs. O'Reilly is a deputy assistant secretary of state.]

« Back to News List
Burn Pit Registry: Gains Senate approval
Jan. 11, 2013 Update
Burn Pit Update: President Obama Signs Registry Bill into Law
The House of Representatives approved the Burn Pit Open Registry Act as part of measure, S. 3202, the "Dignified Burial and Veterans' Benefits Improvement Act of 2012," and, on Jan. 10, 2013, President Obama signed into law the Burn Pit Open Registry Act.
On Dec. 20, 2012, the Burn Pit Open Registry Act unanimously passed in the Senate as part of the measure, S. 3202, the "Dignified Burial and Veterans' Benefits Improvement Act of 2012." Senators Tom Udall (D-N.M.) and Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) sponsored the legislation. They hope the registry will help the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) learn more about burn pit exposure by documenting the service members and veterans who were exposed to toxic chemicals and fumes from open-air burn pits in Iraq and Afghanistan. In addition, the Senators anticipate the registry will improve the VA's ability to communicate with veterans, including about any related benefits they may be eligible for.
If approved by the House of Representatives, the registry will include information that the Secretary of the VA determines is applicable to the possible health effects of this exposure, create a public information campaign and send updates to members of the registry about significant developments associated with burn pit exposure.
Burn pits are open-air landfills used to burn military waste, and some veterans who were exposed to the smoke from the burn pits are developing serious, chronic illnesses, which they allege their exposure to the burn pits caused.
Learn more about the Udall-Corker Burn Pit Registry.
Motley Rice attorneys are working with co-counsel Susan Burke of Burke PLLC in the KBR, Inc., Burn Pit multidistrict litigation (MDL) representing clients against multiple defense contractors for allegedly exposing American soldiers and former employees of defense contractors to toxic smoke, ash, and fumes generated by disposing of waste in open-air burn pits in Iraq and Afghanistan. If you, a family member or friend may have experienced illness, injuries or death as a result of burn pit exposure, contact Motley Rice attorney James Ledlie by email or call 1.800.768.4026 or Burke PLLC attorney Susan Burke by email or call 202.386.9622 .

Varun Grover, Vir Das rally behind comedian arrested for 'indecent' remarks about Hindu deities
PTI, Jan 3, 2021, 3:08 PM IST
Instagram pic
Mumbai: Several comedians, including Varun Grover, Vir Das and Rohan Joshi, have criticised the arrest of stand-up comic Munawar Faruqui, a day after he was held for alleged indecent remarks made against Hindu deities and Union Home Minister Amit Shah during a show in Indore, Madhya Pradesh.
Faruqui, a comedian from Gujarat, was arrested along with four others on Saturday after the son of a BJP MLA complained against him.
A local court later rejected their bail pleas and sent them in judicial custody.
Grover took to Instagram and alleged that Faruqui was "beaten up".
The "Sacred Games" writer shared a video where the comedian is trying to reason with Eklavya Singh Gaur, son of local BJP MLA Malini Laxman Singh Gaur, who had filed the complaint.
"A fellow Indian, a fellow comedian is in jail and got beaten up by a mob because of the words he uttered. Here he's trying to logically, calmly present his case but our systems now just want to brutally silence every voice.
"They don't want to hear, they don't want to even argue – they want to simply erase every shred of individual thought, every iota of reason. And we the people of the greatest civilization of earth are ok with it," Grover wrote.
Das took to Twitter and wrote that it is futile to stop humour and to try and "control" it.
"You can't stop jokes and laughter. Not because comedians are performing it, but because people need to laugh. Harder you try, the more you're going to be laughed at, now, and by history.
"Anyone who has ever tried to control humour, now has a category of jokes devoted to them," Das tweeted.
He also posted screenshot of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 2017 tweet, when he talked about the importance of humour.
"I think we need more satire and humour. Humour brings happiness in our lives. Humour is the best healer," the prime minister had said in the tweet.
Das captioned the image: "I'm just going to leave this here." According to Gaur, he and his associates had gone to watch the show and when they heard the "indecent" comments, they forced the organisers to stop the programme.
As per the complaint, indecent remarks were passed against Hindu gods and goddesses and the Union home minister during the show, in-charge of Tukoganj police station Kamlesh Sharma said.
Comedian Rohan Joshi shared Faruqui's video where he is trying to reason with those offended with his jokes.
"Turns out now you can just assault people while they're doing their job and the cops will take 'them' to the police station," Joshi captioned the video.
Comedian Kaneez Surka and Abish Mathew also shared the clip of Faruqui on Instagram.
"Watch this, that's all and then share it," Surka wrote.
While Mathew added, "Seven minutes of @munawar.faruqui trying to reason but still…' "High risk individuals to be vaccinated first. So comedians must be up there on the list, wrote comic Neeti Palta alluding to the incident in a Facebook post as India approved Oxford's and Bharat Biotech's COVID-19 vaccines for restricted emergency use on Sunday.
On Saturday, Chief Judicial Magistrate (CJM) Aman Singh Bhuria refused to grant bail to Faruqui and other four and remanded them in judicial custody till January 13.

Noel Murray and Jimmy Ennis were two ardent Manchester United supporters from south Dublin who, when Manchester United reached the European Cup Final in 1968, tried unsuccessfully to obtain match tickets. They had heard that a United supporters Branch existed in Dublin but could never make contact with it so after the final they talked about forming a Branch of their own. Their first meeting took place in Jimmy's flat in Clorinda Park, Dun Laoighare. Present on that momentous night were; Noel Murray, Jimmy Ennis, Bernie Maguire and Rita Hughes. Frank Mullen attended the second meeting, which took place on August or September 1968.
The first thing they did was to make contact with Les Olive who was secretary of Manchester United at that time. He wrote back saying that there was already a Branch in Dublin so there was no way a second Branch would be allowed. Further correspondence followed explaining that there were many supporters willing to join but that contact could not be made with the Dublin Club, and could a new Supporters Club be formed. Les Olive also tried unsuccessfully to contact this branch. As it was proving impossible to trace this branch, Manchester United finally agreed to allow a new branch to be formed in Dublin,named the South Dublin Branch. An advertisement was placed in the Evening Herald and the first meeting took place in Ross's Hotel, Dun Laoghaire in May 1969.
In between the meetings in Jimmy's flat and the first meeting in Ross's Hotel other people had come on board: Des Healy ( the first travel manager ) Paddy Larkin, Joe Dodd, Dermot Ring, Leo Flynn, Pat Whelan along with Noel, Jimmy, Bernie, Rita, Frank. This was the nucleus of the first committee. This Committee was never elected as it was decided from the floor that the people who formed the Branch should act as the first Committee.
Shortly after this our first trip to Old Trafford took place for the all in price of four pounds ten shillings. Bernie Maguire was our first Secretary and Leo Flynn our first Treasurer with Noel Murray as Chairman. We would not have survived without a meeting place and we have to thank Vincent Heart who as manager of Ross's Hotel never charged us for all the years we were there. Sir Matt Busby was elected as our Honorary Club President and still remains so to this day.
The Branch progressed from running four trips a season to the present day when we now run a trip to all of United's home fixtures. We started off as the South Dublin Branch then we became the Dublin Branch and we are now the Ireland Branch and celebrated our 40th Anniversary in March 2009, with in excess of 1000 registered members.
Noel,Jimmy of course Frank Mullen, Des Fay, Dessie Byrne, Sean Tobin, Mick O'Toole, Shay Weafer, Bernie Maguire, Harry Smith, and to so many more many thanks for your efforts.

Morality Theme Analysis
LitCharts assigns a color and icon to each theme in The Things They Carried, which you can use to track the themes throughout the work.
Within the stories in The Things They Carried the characters tell many stories to each other, and the question always asked of the storyteller is "What's the moral?" In "How to Tell a True War Story," Mitchell Sanders tells O'Brien about a company who has to lie dormant and watchful in the pitch-blackness over a village. They begin to have auditory hallucinations: champagne glasses clinking, music playing, a full chamber orchestra. They aren't supposed to call in an airstrike unless they are under attack but they can no longer bear the sounds and they call in the attack and watch the city burn. Yet even after there's just scorched earth, they all can still hear the music. Sanders keeps trying to tease out a moral, and O'Brien ultimately points out that the moral never amounts to much more than a perfunctory "Oh."
Ultimately, The Things They Carried suggests that, in war, the conventions of good and evil in civilized society fall by the wayside. After Rat Kiley loses his best friend, Curt Lemon, to a booby trap he tortures a baby water buffalo as everyone else looks on. No one tries to stop it. Mitchell Sanders says that in Vietnam there are new sins created that have never existed before. War re-defines morality, it changes the definition. Even the purpose of being there is lost on the soldiers when they are down in their foxholes. When O'Brien eventually returns with his daughter to Vietnam in "Field Trip" and she asks why there was a war, O'Brien says it's because "some people wanted one thing, other people wanted another thing," and all he wanted was to stay alive. The Things They Carried challenges the reader to think about whether or not truth exists, whether or not there is such a thing as right v. wrong, and finally whether the idea of morality is flexible based on the context (in this case, in the fields of Vietnam).

The Things They Carried Quotes
For the most part they carried themselves with poise, a kind of dignity. Now and then, however, there were times of panic, when they squealed or wanted to squeal but couldn't, when they twitched and made moaning sounds and covered their heads and said Dear Jesus and flopped around on the earth and fired their weapons blindly and cringed and sobbed and begged for the noise to stop and went wild and made stupid promises to themselves and to God and to their mothers and fathers, hoping not to die. In different ways, it happened to all of them.

For a few moments he considered asking her to his room, but instead he laughed and told her how back in college he'd almost done something very brave. It was after seeing Bonnie and Clyde, he said, and on this same spot he'd almost picked her up and carried her to his room and tied her to the bed and put his hand on her knee and just held it there all night long. It came close, he told her—he'd almost done it. Martha shut her eyes. She crossed her arms at her chest, as if suddenly cold, rocking slightly, then after a time she looked at him and said she was glad he hadn't tried it. She didn't understand how men could do those things. What things? he asked, and Martha said, The things men do. Then he nodded. It began to form. Oh, he said, those things.

Spin Quotes
That's what stories are for. Stories are for joining the past to the future. Stories are for those late hours in the night when you can't remember how you got from where you were to where you are. Stories are for eternity, when memory is erased, when there is nothing to remember except the story.
On the Rainy River Quotes
I felt myself blush. I couldn't tolerate it. I couldn't endure the mockery, or the disgrace, or the patriotic ridicule. Even in my imagination, the shore just twenty yards away, I couldn't make myself be brave. It had nothing to do with morality. Embarrassment, that's all it was. And right then I submitted. I would go to the war—I would kill and maybe die—because I was embarrassed not to.
How to Tell a True War Story Quotes
A true war story is never moral. It does not instruct, nor encourage virtue, nor suggest models of proper human behavior, nor restrain men from doing the things men have always done. If a story seems moral, do not believe it. If at the end of a war story you feel uplifted, or if you feel that some small bit of rectitude has been salvaged from the larger waste, then you have been made the victim of a very old and terrible lie. There is no rectitude whatsoever. There is no virtue. As a first rule of thumb, therefore, you can tell a true war story by its absolute and uncompromising allegiance to obscenity and evil.
In a true war story, if there's a moral at all, it's like the threat that makes the cloth. You can't tease it out. You can't extract the meaning without unraveling the deeper meaning. And in the end, really, there's nothing much to say about a true war story, except maybe "Oh."
The Man I Killed Quotes
In the presence of his father and uncles, he pretended to look forward to doing his patriotic duty, which was also a privilege, but at night he prayed with his mother that the war might end soon. Beyond anything else, he was afraid of disgracing himself, and therefore his family and village. But all he could do, he thought, was wait and pray and try not to grow up too fast.

Ambush Quotes
I did not hate the young man; I did not see him as the enemy; I did not ponder issues of morality or politics or military duty. I crouched and kept my head low. I tried to swallow whatever was rising from my stomach, which tasted like lemonade, something fruity and sour. I was terrified. There were not thoughts about killing. The grenade was to make him go away—just evaporate—and I leaned back and felt my head go empty and then felt it fill up again. I had already thrown the grenade before telling myself to throw it.

Ephrem Kossaify
Only 10 member states have ratified the 1996 Homeworking Convention
'Working in very poor conditions, homeworkers haven't seen the benefit of economic growth or globalization,' ILO senior economist tells Arab News
NEW YORK: The increasing number of people forced by the COVID-19 pandemic to work from home has generated a lot of attention on both the benefits and trials of working remotely.
The UN's International Labor Organization (ILO) has seized on this new awareness to highlight the predicament of what it estimates to be 260 million home-based workers worldwide — 8 percent of global employment — who had for decades prior to the pandemic been working under precarious conditions.
Homeworkers are a heterogeneous group. They include highly skilled teleworkers who work remotely on a continual basis, and a vast number of impoverished industrial workers who are required to produce goods that cannot be automated, such as artisanal goods like embroidery and handicrafts.
A third category, digital platform workers, provides services such as processing insurance claims or copy editing. All, however, must deal with the implications of working from home.
"There are all sorts of labor-intensive work, sometimes at the bottom of the supply chains, sometimes in handicrafts, that continue to be done at home," ILO senior economist Janine Berg told Arab News.
"But because it's being done at home, it's really invisible. Working in very poor conditions, homeworkers haven't seen the benefit of economic growth or globalization. We can't magically expect this to trickle down. Action is needed."
Berg co-authored the report "Working from home: From invisibility to decent work," a comprehensive two-year study and analysis of conditions worldwide that showed the urgent need, in low- and middle-income countries, for home-based workers to have social protection.
Most work informally and are worse off than those who work outside the home, even in higher-skilled professions.
"There's what we call a homeworker wage penalty. The difference in earnings for someone working from home is really striking — 50 percent less in India. In the UK, most homeworkers were high-skilled teleworkers on the higher end of the earning distribution, but they were earning 13 percent less than their (non-home-based) counterparts," Berg said.
"This is to tell you that invisibility, being at home, not being in contact, not having this face time with your employer, can over time affect your working conditions."
Homeworking is often poorly regulated, and compliance with existing laws remains a challenge. In many cases, homeworkers are classified as independent contractors and therefore excluded from the scope of labor legislation.
Homeworking Convention No. 177 was passed in 1996, with the objective of transforming such work into a respectable source of employment by promoting equality of treatment between homeworkers and other wage earners.
However, only 10 ILO member states have ratified the convention, and few have a national policy in place on working from home.
"In so many countries there are beautiful laws on paper, but they're completely forgotten," said Berg. "That's sad because the work to put legislation forward is a lot of work but it doesn't end there. The work isn't over."
In addition to improving the understanding of working from home, the report also offers guidance for governments to pave the way for decent work for homeworkers, make them more visible and therefore better protected.
For poor industrial homeworkers, the report requires policymakers to undertake concerted action on all fronts — from surveys and mechanisms to first identify these workers, to combating informality by extending legal protection, generalizing written contracts and access to social security, and making homeworkers aware of their rights.
For teleworkers, whose main concern is the blurring between working time and personal time, the report calls on governments to introduce a "right to disconnect," to ensure respect for that boundary.
However, one last thing remains that legislation cannot solve: Social isolation. Berg said the real remedy to that woe, felt by all who work from home — beyond associations in trade unions — lies in a healthy human exchange between managers and employees.
"There, you have an important role for managers and employers to have contact with their workers in a good way, not in a 'let me supervise you and make sure you're doing your hours' way, but really more to reach out and see how they're doing," added Berg, who is also author of "Labour Markets, Institutions and Inequality: Building Just Societies in the 21st Century."
As working from home is likely to take on greater importance in the coming years, the ILO has renewed calls for governments, in cooperation with trade unions and employers' organizations, to heed the guidance of Convention No. 177 "and work together to ensure that all homeworkers — whether they are weaving rattan in Indonesia, making shea butter in Ghana, tagging photos in Egypt, sewing masks in Uruguay, or teleworking in France — move from invisibility to decent work."

Russia's second coronavirus vaccine '100% effective', watchdog tells media /node/1795111/world
Updated 21 min 29 sec ago
'The effectiveness of the vaccine is made up of its immunological effectiveness and preventative effectiveness'
MOSCOW: A candidate COVID-19 vaccine known as EpiVacCorona, Russia's second to be registered, proved "100 percent effective" in early-stage trials, Russian consumer health watchdog Rospotrebnadzor has told local media.
The data, based on Phase I and II trials, were released before the start of a larger Phase III trial which would normally involve thousands of participants and a placebo group as a comparison.
"The effectiveness of the vaccine is made up of its immunological effectiveness and preventative effectiveness," the TASS news agency reported, citing Rospotrebnadzor.
"According to results of the first and second phases of clinical trials, the immunological effectiveness of the EpiVacCorona vaccine is 100 percent."
The Phase I and II studies tested the safety, reactogenicity and immunogenicity of the potential vaccine in 100 people aged 18-60, according to the state trials register.
Russia began testing EpiVacCorona, which is being developed by Siberia's Vector Institute, in November.
Earlier that month, Moscow said its other approved vaccine, Sputnik V, was 92 percent effective at protecting people from COVID-19 based on interim results.
Russia has said it can inoculate 60 percent of its population against COVID-19 this year, and although the Sputnik V vaccine has been readily available in Moscow, the rollout across the country has been slow.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has ordered mass vaccinations to start this week.
EpiVacCorona will be used in mass vaccinations from March, Deputy Prime Minister Tatiana Golikova told the Interfax news agency.
Russia has reported 3,612,800 coronavirus cases, the world's fourth-highest total. Its death toll from the virus stands at 66,623.

Q: Support HTTP or HTTPS Web.Config WCF Service I would like to have a WCF Service that supports HTTP or HTTPS. Link1 and link2 have been very helpful and I managed to modify web.config to work for both HTTP and HTTPS
    <service name="Service">
       <endpoint address="" contract="IService" binding="webHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="wbBind" behaviorConfiguration="web" />
       <endpoint address="" contract="IService" binding="webHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="wbsBind" behaviorConfiguration="web" />
  </service>

  <binding name="wbBind">
       <security mode="None"></security>
  </binding>
  <binding name="wbsBind">
      <security mode="Transport"></security>
  </binding>

This works just fine when I have two IIS bindings
Site bindings
But if I delete one of the bindings (http for example)
Only https binding
then https will also stop working (or the other way around). Can this be fixed?

A: only http binding config will be like this:
    <service name="Service">
       <endpoint address="" contract="IService" binding="webHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="wbBind" behaviorConfiguration="web" />
  </service>

  <binding name="wbBind"/>

remember you should change the web config in order to have just http or https bindings.

Historic derogatory comments on Facebook entitled employer to dismiss
A recent case in the Employment Appeal Tribunal[1] has upheld an employer's decision to dismiss an employee who had historically made derogatory comments about his employer on Facebook. The derogatory comments had been posted two years before the employee was dismissed. The employer had been aware of the comments for at least six months of that period.
The case is helpful for employers as it shows that an employer who has failed to respond promptly to an act of misconduct does not necessarily miss the opportunity to take disciplinary action if they wish to discipline the employee later. The case is also helpful because the employer in this case actively sought evidence against the employee.
Both points follow a similar theme in Williams v Leeds United Football Club [2015] where an employer searched for misconduct to avoid paying a hefty redundancy payment. In the Williams case the misconduct had arisen five years beforehand.
As a general rule, all employers should have a social media policy in place and communicate it to staff.

ANALYSIS: Apparent Wake Turbulence Accident near St. Cloud, MN [KSTC]
Data on the St. Cloud Accident
In the street map below, the blue dot shows the approximate location of the crash, which was witnessed on the ground and called in at 8:26PM. The orange circle is the destination airport, KSTC. The red lines approximate the route of flight for the Allegiant Airbus A319, which reportedly landed at KSTC at 8:29PM. The distance from the threshold of Runway 13 to the accident location is approximately 6-miles.
(click on image to view flight page at FlightAware.com)
Here is another view, showing the FlightAware plot for the arriving Allegiant flight (green line). The dashed blue line is the filed flight route. The background map shows both major highways and rivers/streams in the same color; the line under the east edge of the red circle is Highway 10, while the line south and west of the circle is the Mississippi River. The flight profile below is also from FlightAware; the red vertical line approximates the 8:26PM accident time. Lastly, a table presents the flight parameters each minute (this data is also courtesy of FlightAware); the red data at time 8:26 shows the approximate flight position at the time of the accident, and the red data in the column shows the elevated indicated airspeed for the Allegiant arrival. In at least one news report, a witness on the ground stated: "We were sitting at my neighbors' pool and we watched the big airlines plane go low, turning and going toward the St. Cloud airport, and then we heard this little airplane, and all of a sudden we saw the little white single-engine plane behind the bigger plane. The little plane just turned and nose-dived straight down."

08:27PM 45.5872 -94.1006 114° Southeast 163 1,800 -540 Minneapolis Center
Too Much Speed?
FAR 91.117(a) reads: "Unless otherwise authorized by the Administrator, no person may operate an aircraft below 10,000 feet MSL at an indicated airspeed of more than 250 knots (288 m.p.h.)."
This regulation evolved out of a series of gruesome midair collisions in the 1960's, when jets were being rapidly deployed by the passenger airlines. At that time, airline schedules looked a lot more like local bus routes; the flights would hop shorter distances connecting a chain of airports, thus there was lots of up and down, and lots of pressure to stay on schedule. General Aviation was a lot more popular then, too. So, suddenly, there was a lot of mixing of vastly different speeds and performance. In a few midairs, aircraft were ripped open and witnesses on the ground saw passengers hurtling through the sky. The risk was also exacerbated by FAA's resistance to 'control'; in many ways, the attitude at that time was ATC provided an 'information service' more than a 'control service'.
Some of that attitude persists even today, in that FAA's regulations are often left vague and impractical to enforce. For example, looking at the airspeeds for this Allegiant arrival (which was running twenty minutes behind schedule), it would appear that the flight was far in excess of the 250-knot speed limit rule below 10,000′. In fairness to Allegiant, the rule specifies 'indicated air speed', which can be substantially different from the airspeed calculated and displayed on a radar system (due to winds, for example). But, in this particular case, it seems likely that the Allegiant's indicated airspeed would have been substantially in excess of the FAR 91.117 low-altitude speed limit. This logically would increase the chance that the accident flight would be in for a quick and potentially lethal surprise. Thus, one of the main investigative focal areas for NTSB will be whether the pilot or ATC was failing to comply with FAR 91.117 during this accident. And, if so, whether this compliance failure is an isolated incident or a larger, systemic attitude that FAR 91.117 is just a rule on paper to be routinely ignored by everyone.
What NTSB Will Look At:
Here are a few of the many questions NTSB will explore as they investigate this crash:
Was the Allegiant arrival's airspeed excessive and hazardous, and if so, was this speed excess something that should have been controlled by the pilot and/or by ATC?
Was the descent profile for Allegiant unusually steep, increasing the potential for the Airbus to drop in on top of the small aircraft that eventually crashed, and diminishing the pilot's ability to reduce the airspeed?
Was the descent profile made more steep by any ATC clearance abnormalities, such as a late descent clearance that would effectively 'slam dunk' the arrival, forcing the pilot to come in extra fast and extra steep?
Was the altitude of Allegiant unusually low in the vicinity of the accident? I.e., given that the airport elevation is roughly 1,000′, a quick comparison of the data and maps suggests Allegiant was at an altitude of roughly 1,300′ AGL (above ground level) near the accident site … but this is 6-miles or more from the runway landing threshold. A normal approach would cross this distance at around 1,800′ or more AGL.
Was the accident flight in communications with ATC, and was the flight painting a target on the ATC radar display? (NOTE: the control tower is listed as open between 7AM and 11PM daily. The tower controllers would be communicating with Allegiant from about ten miles out; the accident aircraft was far enough west of the airport that they may never have contacted KSTC Tower.)
Did ATC issue traffic information to Allegiant, or to the accident aircraft? (NOTE: this is a very slow Tower, thus may have no radar display. Minneapolis Center works the arrivals, and might not see the accident aircraft on radar, especially if the flight was not using a transponder. Allegiant's TCAS would have the best chance at seeing the other flight.)

Tag: naoetsu high
Zoku Owarimonogatari – 05 – A Clockwork Araragi
Koyomi finds himself face-to-face with Kanbaru's late mother Gaen Tooe in all her glory, but unlike Princess Kiss-Shot, being in her presence too long doesn't make him suicidal. It's a rare thing indeed for Koyomi to converse in such an intimate setting with an adult woman—again, Shinobu excluded—a cougar, if you will, made more strange by the fact she's not even alive on Koyomi's side.
Her frisky teasing and facial features remind him of Kanbaru, but there's a decided sharp edge to her, quite becoming of a mother who left a monkey's paw to her daughter—which was really a part of herself she split off. I like her leitmotif, which includes a cello, like her contemporary, Kaiki Deishu.
Tooe's first piece of advice to a very nervous and confused Koyomi trying to figure out what's going on is this: "knowing and not knowing don't matter." As proof, she infers just about everything about Koyomi's situation and the state of his world, even though she entered the bath knowing nothing.
Tooe also underscores the necessity of properly facing your other side, as she and Izuko did, and as Suruga will have to do one day (referencing Hanamonogatari, which chronologically takes place a month after Zoku). Face it and acknowledge it not as a rival or blood enemy, but a partner, be it light or dark.
She also tells Koyomi to tell Suruga when he sees her next that her mother told her "don't be like me." She then mysteriously vanishes, leaving nothing but scratch marks on Koyomi's back reading "Naoetsu High."
When Dr. Ononoki inspects Koyomi's back when they meet back up, the marks are gone, but Koyomi still thinks his old high school should be his next destination. Ononoki decides they'll split up; she'll visit Shinobu again to see if she'll say anything else she might've wanted to say to Koyomi but couldn't due tot he time limit.
Then she'll search for Black Hanekawa to try to learn why she saved Koyomi from the Rainy Devil. Both tasks are designed specifically so she can avoid accompanying Koyomi to Naoetsu High, suggesting that while Koyomi's influence has changed her personality and viewpoint, there's still an innate part of her that is of this world, which understands Koyomi ultimately has to figure this out on his own.
To blend in at Naoetsu, Koyomi heads home to change into his uniform, only to discover it's a girl's uniform. One that, when he puts it on, actually fits pretty well. It would seem, then, that Koyomi's theory about his other side in this world being Ougi was correct; for one thing, Ougi's uniform is very baggy, as if it was meant for someone with a larger build—like Koyomi.
As he cross dresses without hesitation and rides his bike to school once more, Koyomi is extrmely cognizant of the fact that while he may have influenced a bit here and there in this world, it's already starting to influence him, changing him into Ougi, which would mean Araragi Koyomi as we know him would cease to exist.
Meanwhile, after a fruitless visit to Shinobu's, Ononoki finds Hanekawa hanging out with Mayoi and Kuchinawa…only it's not Black Hanekawa, it's Mini Hanekawa. Mayoi explains Hanekawa has many other sides, including her younger self. They're all toasting the approaching end of this story, wherein this entire alternate world is revealed as nothing but the "product of a grand misunderstanding."
That end is imminent because Koyomi is drawing closer and closer to noticing and facing his other side, Oshino Ougi. Strolling down the corridors of his old school, it doesn't take him long to figure out, as Tooe thought he would, which part of that school meant the most to him – the classroom isolated from time and space.
It's here where he finds Ougi, who has been waiting a very long time for him to show up. If that first episode of Owarimonogatari was the beginning of the end, and Koyomi saving Ougi at the end of Ougi Dark the end of the end, we've finally reached the beginning of the end of the epilogue, where no doubt Koyomi will suss out why this world exists, why he's here, and how to return home—where he may be between titles, but at least the Karens are tall and the Surugas aren't homicidal.

For the past few years, Nike has teamed up with Doernbecher Children's Hospital to give kids the opportunity to design their own Nike shoe and have a chance for their shoe to come to life as an actual product release. The varsity-red upper features a diagonal grid that subtly spells his name "COLE" within the diamond shapes. If you take a look behind the back tab on each of the shoes, there is a picture of one of Cole's favorite foods: spaghetti on the left shoe and chocolate on the right. Each insole has words that are representative of common characteristics of the Doernbecher kids: "COURAGE" and "STR3NGTH".

Extras is a young adult science fiction novel written by Scott Westerfeld. The novel was published and released by Simon & Schuster on October 2, 2007, and is a companion book to the Uglies series. However, Extras differs from its predecessors in that its protagonist is fifteen-year-old Aya Fuse, not earlier protagonist Tally Youngblood. Despite the fact that Youngblood is not the main character, she still appears in the book's later chapters in a major role. The book was received well by critics such as the New York Times's James Hynes.
Plot introduction
Three years after the events of Specials freed the world from the pretty lesions which forced them to be obedient, society is beginning to settle into a new form. Each city has been forced to find a way of dealing with the new pressure on its resources, caused by the freed creativity of the inhabitants. In Japan, one city has chosen a "reputation economy", rewarding citizens either with merits for productive tasks which help the city, or with face rank, a measure of popularity. Every inhabitant has their own feed and obsessively tracks their face rank, hoping to gain fame and lose their status as an "extra". Aya Fuse tries to win fame as a "kicker", or amateur journalist, filming stories with her modified hovercam Moggle and posting them for the city to see.

A background actor or extra is a performer in a film, television show, stage, musical, opera or ballet production, who appears in a nonspeaking or nonsinging (silent) capacity, usually in the background (for example, in an audience or busy street scene). War films and epic films often employ background actors in large numbers: some films have featured hundreds or even thousands of paid background actors as cast members (hence the term 'cast of thousands'). Likewise, grand opera can involve many background actors appearing in spectacular productions.
On a film or TV set, background actors are usually referred to as "background talent", "background performers", "background artists", "background cast members" or simply "background" while the term "extra" is rarely used. In a stage production, background actors are commonly referred to as "supernumeraries". In opera and ballet, they are called either "extras" or "supers".
Casting criteria for background actors depend on the production. It has been said that background cast members often require little or no acting experience. This is not entirely true, as any type of unrealistic portrayal must include some form of imagination and acting. Punctuality, reliability and the ability to take direction also figure prominently for these cast members. Background actors are often selected on short notice, after all other preparations for the shoot have been finalized.

The National Quarterly Review, Volume 2,Nummer 3
wishes were not complied with. In one passage the language of Homer and that of Coke are identical, though it does not appear that the latter had any very familiar acquaintance with Greekwe mean the passage in which the remark occurs, that if the young prosecutor was strong, he should remember that it was God who had given him strength.
ει μάλα καρτερός έσβί, θεός ώου σοι τόγο εδωκεν.* Nor did the honest, though hasty judge, confine himself to language so gentle as this. In his indignation he did not hesitate to admit, in plain terms, that Bacon and his apparent motives were anything but agreeable to him ; thus again recalling "the king of men" where he exclaims, thou art most hateful to me (ex 916705 Sé MOL E661). But no one having power could offend Bacon. He never openly showed resentment to those higher in office, or possessed of more influence than himself ; nor did he take the least offence in the present case. In his letter to the king, written a day or two after having been thus rebuked, or, perhaps, the same day, he says : "I am not wholly out of hope that my
Lord Coke himself, when I have in some dark manner put him in doubt that he shall be left alone, will not be singular."
He was not mistaken in this., Coke finally gave a reluctant assent to the decision of his brethren, and the unfortunate old clergyman was put to the rack. Bacon, in person, sought to wring a confession from him while undergoing the horrible infliction ; but did so in vain. Not a shade of guilt would he acknowledge. The prosecutor felt disappointed at this, and wrote to the king to complain that " Peacham hath a dumb devil." All did not save him, however, from conviction. He was duly sentenced to be beheaded, but public opinion was so much outraged by the whole proceedings, in spite of the secrecy in which they were shrouded, that the government did not venture to carry the sentence into execution. There was, however, no liberty for the wretched old
He was forced to languish in jail until he died. It was about the same time that Bacon prosecuted Oliver St. John, before the Star Chamber, for maintaining that the king had no right to levy benevolences. A conviction was obtained as a matter of course, and the champion of constitutional liberty and the rights of man was sentenced to pay a fine of five thousand
man.
* Il. 1, 178.
pounds sterling, and be imprisoned during the king's pleasure. It is painful to observe that it was during the intervals between these scandalous proceedings, Bacon was engaged "in reducing and re-compiling the laws of England." Nay, more, it was after he had written his best essays, including that on Judicature, in which he says "Judges ought to remember that their office is 'jus dicere,' and not jus dare,' to interpret law, and not to make law, or give law. * * Cursed (saith the law) is he that removeth the landmark. The mislayer of a mere stone is to blame; but it is the unjust judge that is the capital remover of landmarks when he defineth amiss of lands and property. One foul sentence doth more hurt than many foul examples ; for these do but corrupt the stream, the other corrupteth the fountain. * In causes of life and death judges ought, as far as the case permitteth in justice, to remember mercy, and to cast a severe eye upon the example, but a merciful eye upon the person," &c.
Here we are reminded of the gallant and generous Essex, the only true friend, except Ben Johnson, ever Bacon had. At the risk of offending the Queen, while her chief favorite, he would on all occasions, in and out of season, urge the claims of Bacon in compliance with the most earnest wishes and importunities of the latter. Failing in obtaining office for him, he presented him a valuable estate. In short, no brother could have exerted himself more zealously for another brother. This is evident from Bacon's own letters, but it is equally evident from the same that, when
; the day of adversity came, Essex experienced the basest ingratitude in return. It was worse than this. One may be ungrateful to his friend-make no return for his favors when the smallest kindness would be of service-and yet scorn to become his enemy. But not content with doing all in his power, both by his talents and influence, to convict Essex of high treason, and lead him to the scaffold, he undertook to libel his memory, writing an elaborate pamphlet to show what a horrible and base traitor his late friend was, and how well he deserved his fate! Public opinion was not so much vitiated even in these corrupt times, but that conduct like this excited indignation. Bacon felt that he had brought odium on himself; and no one being more ambitious of popularity, he wrote and published, in the form of a letter, a pamphlet, in vindication of his conduct towards Essex. The substance of this is, that he merely did his duty in the first instance as crown
prosecutor, after he had failed to obtain pardon for his friend, and
that, in regard to the paper which he wrote after Essex's death,
he did little more than transcribe the thoughts and views of
others on the subject. As the Queen was now dead and several
others who had taken an active part in the prosecution, it was.
impossible to disprove this. The public understood the fact ; so
that the vindication proved a failure. Were it even true that he
wrote nothing against his late friend but what had been dictated to
him, this would not exculpate him from the charge of seeking to
destroy his reputation with posterity, as he had already destroyed
his life. It was only admitting in effect that he would have writ-
ten or said anything he was told by those who happened to be in
power, and from whom he expected preferment. It were strange,
indeed, if such an apology had proved satisfactory, since the man
who is actuated by personal resentment for some injury, real or
imaginary, is much less to blame when he injures a former friend
than one who suffers himself to be made a tool to carry out the
resentment of others. There is no reason to suppose that Bacon
felt any ill-will towards Essex. He was not a person to cherish
malice even against those who sought to injure him. He was as
cold in hatred as he was in love, and it does not appear that he
ever loved any one ; how, then, could he have felt so much in-
censed against one who had always proved a brother to him?
"The truth is, that he was so inordinately ambitious of station and
wealth, that he would have done almost anything to secure them.
His own relatives knew this well—so did Elizabeth-and this,
after all is, perhaps, the true secret of the little success he had
in seeking office while they continued in power. Indeed, in
nothing does the character of Elizabeth appear to greater advan-
tage than in her persistent refusal to elevate Bacon. She had no
doubt, as we have seen already, of his superior learning and bril-
liant talents. She was always ready to acknowledge that her
late Lord Keeper had claims on her gratitude ; but though satis-
fied that his son possessed a much greater intellect than himself,
she was evidently afraid to trust the former.
It had been well had James I. been of the same mind; for then the unfortunate Peacham would not have been tortured by Bacon
; neither could the philosopher have been convicted of gross and corrupt bribery; he could not have sold patents for inventions never made, allowing valuable monopolies to those who had no
right to them, but who were willing to give him an interest in their dishonest and oppressive dealings. It is melancholy to contemplate a man of so mighty an intellect guilty of all this ; but his conduct was, if possible, more degrading still when his crimes were brought to light. His adulation to the king--to all whom he thought could render him any service—while crouching in the dust to each-including those who heartily despised his meanness—has scarcely a parallel in its grossness. When first accused, he is full of confidence, declaring himself as "innocent as any one born on St. Innocent's day." But in one week he is all contrition, patriotism, and loyalty. In a long letter to the king, he says : "But as I can offer to your majesty's compassion little arising from myself to move you, except it be my extreme misery, which I have truly laid open, so looking up to your majesty yourself, I should think I had committed Cain's fault if I should despair ; your majesty is a king whose heart is as unscrutable for secret motives of goodness as for depth of wisdom. You are, creator-like, factive, and not destructive ; you are a prince in whom I have ever noted an aversion against anything that savored of a hard heart, as on the other, your princely eye was wont to meet with any motion that was made on the relieving part. * Help me, dear sovereign lord and master, and pity me so far as I, that have borne a bag, be not now, in
my, age, forced in effect to bear a wallet ; nor I, that desire to live to study, may not be driven to study to live."
This was strange language to address to one who had not the courage, manliness, filial affection or gallantry to raise a hand, or make the least effort to save his mother's head—that of the beautiful Queen of Scots, grown grey in captivity and sorrow—from the block. He who would not interfere for his own mother, condemned to death, in defiance of all law, lest he might render himself unpopular with her enemies, was not likely to assume much responsibility on behalf of his fallen Chancellor. True, he was but half a king when, instead of insisting on the liberation of his mother, on learning that she was condemned to death by Elizabeth, he contented himself with causing prayers to be offered up for her conversion "from the errors of Popery." We say that he was but half a king ; because, had he been a full royal sovereign, it would have been almost impossible for him, according to Bacon, to have acted otherwise than nobly. In the essay entitled "Of a King," he
says : "A king is a mortal god on earth, unto whom the living God hath lent his own name as a great honor ; but withal told him he
; should die like a man, lest he should be proud and flatter himself that God hath, with his name, imparted unto him his nature also." The essay which opens thus, ends with the following sentence, which is quite in keeping with the rest : "He, then, that honoreth not him (the king,) is next an atheist, wanting the fear of God in his heart." In dedicating his "Instauration" to the same monarch, he uses similar language: "There remains to me but to make one request worthy of your majesty, and very especially relating to my subject, namely, that resembling Solomon, as you
do in most respects, in the gravity of your decisions, the peacefulness of your reign, the expansion of your heart, and lastly, in the noble variety of books you have composed," &c.* But it was not alone the king he addressed in this style. His humiliating conduct towards Buckingham, after he had done all he could in private to injure him, seems almost incredible even to those who have no doubt of the meannesses which we have already noted. We are told, on the authority of Sir Anthony Weldon, that as soon as he found that Buckingham had heard of his interference against him, he immediately repaired to that nobleman's house, and was, on two successive days, suffered to remain in an anti-chamber, among the common servants, seated on an old wooden box, with the great Seal of England by his side ; and that when at length he was admitted, he flung himself on the floor, kissed the favorite's feet and vowed never to rise until he was forgiven. No one despised such as this more than Buckingham, nor did he try to conceal the fact.
* He is still more grossly adulatory, if possible, in the dedication of his work on the "Advancement of Learning," as may be seen from the following passages :~"Leaving aside the other parts of your virtue and fortune, I have been touched, yea, and possessed with an extreme wonder at those your virtues and faculties which the philosophers call intellectual ; the largeness of your capacity, the faithfulness of your memory, the swiftness of your apprehension, the penetration of your judgment, and the facility and order of your elocution. * * And as the Scripture saith of the wisest king, "That his heart was as the sands of the sea; which, though it be one of the largest bodies, yet it consisteth of the smallest and finest portions, so hath God given your majesty a composition of understanding admirable, being able to compass and comprehend the greatest matters, and nevertheless to touch and apprehend the least, whereas it should seem an impossibility in nature for the same instrument to make itself fit for great and small works. As for your gift of speech, I call to mind what

'RENFIELD' Hunts for a Happier Henchman's Haven in Official Trailer and Teaser Poster
Evil doesn't span eternity without a little help!
Universal Pictures has today opened the coffin lid on Chris McKay's (The Tomorrow War, The LEGO Batman Movie) modern monster tale of Dracula's loyal servant, Renfield in the form of a poster and first trailer.
Directed by McKay, from a script penned by Ryan Ridley ("Ghosted," "Rick & Morty"), based on an original idea by "The Walking Dead" and "Invincible" creator Robert Kirkman, Nicholas Hoult (Mad Max: Fury Road, X-Men franchise) stars as Renfield, the tortured aide to history's most narcissistic boss, Dracula (Nicolas Cage – Vampire's Kiss, Pig, Face/Off). Renfield is forced to procure his master's prey and do his every bidding, no matter how debased. But now, after centuries of servitude, Renfield is ready to see if there's a life outside the shadow of The Prince of Darkness. If only he can figure out how to end his codependency.
Starring alongside Hoult and Cage are Awkwafina (The Farewell, Shang-Chi and the Legend of Ten Rings), Ben Schwartz (Sonic, The Afterparty) and Adrian Martinez (The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, Focus).
Renfield is produced by Skybound Entertainment partners Robert Kirkman and David Alpert ("The Walking Dead," "Invincible"), co-presidents Bryan Furst (Daybreakers) and Sean Furst (Daybreakers) and by Chris McKay. McKay's producing partner Samantha Nisenboim (co-producer, The Tomorrow War) will executive produce.
