text: Born in New York City, Brown was raised by his father, Edward, and his mother, Lillian, and graduated from both Stanford University and the Graduate School of Journalism at Columbia University. Brown went right to work as a journalist, working as an apprentice reporter and copy editor for The San Francisco News and The Wall Street Journal. He also wrote for magazines like Collier's, Harper's and The Saturday Evening Post, while working as a stringer for The New York Times. Brown moved up to editorial director for the Milk Research Council in New York while advancing from associate editor to executive editor and finally editor-in-chief for Liberty magazine. But with the world at war, Brown was called to serve his country and became a 1st lieutenant with U.S. Army military intelligence during World War II. Upon his return to the States, he resumed his journalism career as the editorial director for the national educational campaign for the American Medical Association before joining Cosmopolitan magazine as a managing editor, where he met his soon-to-be famous wife, Helen Gurley, whom he married in 1959. In 1951, producing legend Darryl F. Zanuck hired Brown as the managing editor of the story department at 20th Century Fox, thus starting his Hollywood career. Over the course of the decade, Brown moved up to head the scenario department at Fox, eventually becoming the vice president of creative operations and later a producer. Brown left 20th Century to become the editorial vice president of New American Library of New Literature, Inc., before making his return to the studio to head up the story operations department. In 1967, Brown was made the vice president of story operations and was promoted to executive vice president before leaving for Warner Bros. where he became a member of the board of directors. During his time at Fox, Brown befriended Richard Zanuck, the son of studio head Darryl F., and eventually left the studio with him in 1971 to form the Zanuck/Brown Co., which in the ensuing two decades produced some of Hollywood's most notable films. The pair's first film was "The Sting" (1973), which starred Paul Newman and Robert Redford as a pair of grifters who con an Irish mob boss (Robert Shaw) as a means of exacting revenge for a murdered friend. The film was a massive success - one of the biggest hits of the decade - and earned seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture.From there, Brown and Zanuck went on to producer Steven Spielberg's directorial debut, "The Sugarland Express" (1974), as well as the Clint Eastwood action thriller "The Eiger Sanction" (1974) and Don Siegel's spy thriller "The Black Windmill" (1974), starring Michael Caine and Donald Pleasance. Reteaming with Spielberg, Brown and Zanuck famously produced Hollywood's first $100 million blockbuster, "Jaws" (1975), one of the most financially successful and influential movies of all time. After producing the biographical drama, "MacArthur" (1977), which starred Gregory Peck as the controversial general, the duo went back to the well with the underwhelming "Jaws 2" (1978). They continued to disappoint with the forgettable thriller "The Island" (1980) and the misfire John Belushi/Dan Aykroyd comedy "Neighbors" (1981), before scoring another critical and commercial hit with "The Verdict" (1982), which starred Paul Newman as an alcoholic attorney who seeks redemption by taking on a difficult-to-win medical malpractice case. The film earned five Academy Awards nominations including one for Best Picture. Following Arthur Penn's competent spy thriller, "Target" (1985), with Gene Hackman and Matt Dillon, Brown and Zanuck teamed with Ron Howard on the hugely successful "Cocoon" (1985), a sci-fi themed drama about a group of senior citizens rejuvenated by the arrival of aliens.After producing the sequel, "Cocoon: The Return" (1988), Brown and Zanuck disbanded their company, though he would serve as the executive producer of the new Zanuck Company's first production, "Driving Miss Daisy" (1989), which won the Oscar for Best Picture. Brown went on to found his own production company, The Manhattan Project Ltd. in 1988, which produced Aaron Sorkin's searing military courtroom drama, "A Few Good Men" (1992). He also served as a producer on Robert Altman's highly praised Hollywood satire, "The Player" (1992), though he stumbled a bit with "The Cemetery Club" (1993), "Watch It" (1993) and "Canadian Bacon" (1994). Turning to summer blockbusters, Brown enjoyed commercial success with "The Saint" (1997) and "Deep Impact" (1998), but ventured back to critically acclaimed films like "Angela's Ashes" (1999) and "Chocolat" (2000), which earned him another Oscar nod for Best Picture. Around this time, Brown began producing Broadway musicals including "Sweet Smell of Success: The Musical" (2002) and "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" (2005), while keeping his feet firmly planted in film with "Along Came a Spider" (2001), "Framed" (2003) and "Flyboys" (2006). Spending his last years working sporadically and spending time with his wife and family, Brown eventually succumbed to renal failure on Feb. 1, 2010 at 93 years old, leaving behind a legacy as one of the most prolific producers of the latter 20th century.By Shawn Dwyer

Have you always wondered if your favorite cheap airfare website is actually getting you the cheapest flights? We've uncovered a 2 step approach that will show you exactly how to quickly finding the cheapest airfares. You start by easily finding the best airfare using a travel agent grade search tool. Once you know your best flight, just hop over to an airfare website to buy the ticket.
If you're not starting out with Matrix Airfare Search then you're wasting your precious time. This little-known airfare search tool's power puts it in a league of it's own. Its simple-to-use yet advanced search capabilities allow you to see many more airfare combinations (in the billions actually) with a single search than the next best option (which is Kayak, in case you were wondering). Even though you can't actually buy tickets through the tool directly, you'll save so much time in your airfare search that it'd be crazy not to start with the Matrix Airfare Search.
There are 3 unique features offered by Matrix Airfare Search that make it the place to start your cheap airfare search.
It's ridiculously easy to search different departure/return dates and trip lengths. Matrix will even automatically highlight the cheapest ticket price for you in a 30 day period. Many cheap airfare search engines limit your search to +/- 2 days of a selected selected date. Matrix quickly returns whole month worth of fares in a visually pleasing way.
Here, Matrix quickly finds us the cheapest day to fly from New York to Manchester, England during January (based on the date of the search). It could have easily taken you 8 to 10 searches to uncover this airfare with the more common airfare search tools.
Extending your search to nearby airports you can save $100s of dollars. You might be thinking "Orbitz offers this feature too" and you'd be right. The difference is that ITA's software lets you individually include airports in a 2,000 mile radius through a perfectly designed menu (that even has a map!). Orbitz limits your search to a generic 80-mile radius where you can't pick and choose specific airports – forcing you to sift through flights you'd never want.
Even better, you can enter as many of the 3 letter airport codes as you'd like into the 'Departing From' and 'Destination' fields. This is especially useful when you want to go on a trip, but are considering a few destination options. You can search them all at once with this tool! Here we choose to search for flights that leave from any of three different nearby airports by entering: "MDW, ORD, MKE" into the "Departing From" field.
Expanding your search to add in airports within 300 or more miles can sometimes return great results. You might be pleasantly surprised to find some of the super cheap airfares that can be had at small airports around the country. Budget carriers, like Spirit Airlines and Ryan Air in Europe, often make use of small airports in rural areas, where their costs can be much lower. If you can get yourself out to one of these far-flung airports, you might be able to save hundreds on your next get-away.
Once you move past the 'Calendar' step, you'll see the 'Flights' page, which offers great ways to sort and filter the search results.
You have more than 8 filter options to make sure the flights fit your schedule, budget, and patience level!. The most useful filters are Departure Time, Arrival Time, Flight Duration, and Advisories. For starters, you filter the results to show convenient flight departure and arrival times and flights that don't leave you stuck with really long layovers.
In the example below, when shopping for cheap airfare to Evansville, Indiana, we can see that the cheapest flights all include long layovers (for $428 Round Trip). When we filter out flights with lengthy layovers we are left with more convenient schedules that are just a little more expensive (about $25 extra).
Keep in mind that the Matrix Airfare Search is so useful, partly because it shows you a huge number of airfares. Sometimes even really awkward schedules are offered at an extra discount. If you make use of the filtering features, be aware that you might be filtering out some great cheap airfare deals.
2. Kayak.com – Another good choice. They offer some additional flexibility when it comes to multi-city trips.
Got questions about our cheap flight tool(s)? I'd love to know how you have been using Matrix Airfare Search to find an awesome deal by using these travel hacks!

Glenmeadow Re-accredited
1.6 min read | Categories: Glenmeadow News |
Glenmeadow has been re-accredited as a Continuing Care Retirement Community for a fourth time by the nation's only accrediting body for such communities, joining the less than 15 percent around the country that achieve this milestone.
The Continuing Care Accreditation Commission (CCAC), acquired by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) in 2003 and known in the industry as CARF-CCAC, is the only nationally-recognized organization that evaluates and accredits continuing care retirement communities. Its accreditation of Glenmeadow extends through 2020; Glenmeadow first received accreditation from CARF-CCAC in 2001.
"We are very proud to have earned accreditation," said Timothy V. Cotz, Glenmeadow president and chief executive officer. "This represents a team effort, involving team members, residents and board members."
Cotz said Glenmeadow voluntarily applied for re-accreditation and participated in a rigorous self-study, on-site evaluation and in-depth review by CCAC-CARF. The process took nearly a year to complete.
Highlighting the survey team's findings, Brian J. Boon, CARF-CCAC president and chief executive officer, said, "Glenmeadow is led by a strong and dedicated board of directors that is very active and involved in the community and has a strong commitment of service to the persons served. In addition, the organization is managed by a seasoned and compassionate leadership team. The CEO demonstrated the exceptional ability to interact with residents, families, team members at all levels and the board."
CARF-CCAC said an organization receiving a five-year accreditation outcome has put itself through a rigorous peer review process and has demonstrated that it meets standards of excellence in three critical areas: resident life, health and wellness; financial resources and disclosure; and governance and administration.
In its survey summary, CARF-CCAC noted, "There is a strong sense of satisfaction throughout the organization, making it an exciting place to live and work. The team members and persons served take great pride in their community, and the relationships with each other foster a culture of trust and acceptance."

Oppo A9 2020 review
It gets an A from us
By Andrew Williams
(Image: © TechRadar)
TechRadar Verdict
A big screen, an almost everlasting battery and solid specs make the Oppo A9 2020 one of the best affordable phones for those who stream a lot of video, and a still great option for almost everyone else on a limited budget.
Superb battery life
Better than average night photos
Good-quality stereo speakers
Plastic back
Two of the four rear cameras seem to do very little
Color OS isn't for everyone
Introduction, design and display
Battery life and camera
The Oppo A9 2020 is an affordable phone with a huge array of features. It has a big screen, an even bigger battery, four rear cameras, a lot of storage and even one of the better budget chipsets.
On paper the Oppo A9 2020 seems almost bafflingly good, but there are three obvious shortcomings. Its screen is not as advanced as those of the Moto G series and the outer shell is plastic. The only glass sits on the screen and cameras, the only metal around the camera housing.
This is one of the best budget phones for those who tend to hit their phone hard with video streaming and gaming on the way to work. It has the screen inches and battery life to make the most of these jobs.
If that describes you then you can probably safely buy it, while if you're looking for other things from your phone then read on to see if the Oppo A9 2020 fits the bill.
Oppo A9 2020 price and release date
The Oppo A9 launched at £220 / AU$399 (around $250, but with no confirmed availability in the US), which is also slightly cheaper than the Moto G8 Plus.
As we say, there's no clear US release date for the phone and considering it landed in the UK and Australia the end of 2019 we wouldn't expect Oppo to debut it there anytime soon.
Clad in plastic but looks good from a distance
Big and thick
Lacks water resistance
The Oppo A9 2020 could pass for a more expensive phone from arm's length. Its back looks almost like curved glass, and has a finish that reacts to light. A color-shifting 'S' snakes across the light's path like some older Moto G mobiles.
It's large too, and has a slim screen notch. If you told someone you paid twice the price for the phone, they would probably believe you.
That illusion largely falls apart when you pick the Oppo A9 2020 up. The sides and back are plastic. You can tell the rear isn't glass just by looking. Plastic tends to distort reflections around areas like the fingerprint scanner and camera housing, as the pressure flexes the rear just slightly. Glass does not bend so easily.
(Image credit: TechRadar)
The Oppo A9 2020 has curved sides for comfort, but it doesn't feel remotely as high-end as Oppo's own Reno 2. That phone is twice the price, though, and this year even Motorola has reverted to using plastic on the rear instead of glass in the Moto G8 Plus.
Size is the other part to bear in mind. Oppo has made a budget powerhouse here, but the large screen and battery mean the A9 2020 may seem intimidatingly large to some of you. It's also 9.1mm thick, although the slight curvature of the back does take the edge off this.
The use of plastic ceases to matter if you use the included silicone case, and you probably should probably use a case. However, the bundled one is not as good as those bundled with the Reno 2 Z and Reno 2.
The silicone plastic is stiffer, and a lack of attention to detail in its construction leads to the power button losing its click. This is oddly upsetting, and led us to removing the case - you'll likely be able to find something better online.
Thankfully, Oppo has not also messed up the screen protector. Like most other Oppo phones, a plastic protector is attached in the factory. It saves the heartbreak of scratching your phone within two days.
The Oppo A9 2020 lacks water resistance, like almost every phone at the price. We did at one point accidentally dip the bottom of the phone in some soya milk and it's still working fine, but this proves nothing more than that it won't explode on contact with liquid.
6.5-inch 720 x 1600 screen
Display could be sharper but this isn't too much of an issue
Color temperature is cold out of the box
The Oppo A9 2020 has a very large 6.5-inch screen. This is significantly larger even than the Moto G8 Plus's 6.3-inch screen.
Those looking for problems will notice this is not a Full HD screen. It's a 720 x 1600-pixel panel. The first limitation we noticed was something else, though.
Fresh out of the box, the Oppo A9 2020's color temperature is quite cold, which in turn makes the just-okay color saturation look worse. One of the first things we did was to go to the Display part of the Settings menu and switch the temperature to its 'warmer' setting.
This doesn't make its color reproduction a match for a high-end mobile, but does give the screen a more pleasing character.
Does the screen resolution matter? Lower pixel density is more obvious on a huge screen like this than the iPhone 11, which only has around 10% more pixels in each direction. But this usually manifests in a slight softness of text, rather than cruder-looking pixelation.
That's thanks to Android's excellent resolution scaling and that the panel is advanced enough to avoid making the pixel structure at all visible. We're truly surprised by how legible tiny fonts are when you zoom out in a browser window.
In old versions of Android, text would become ugly and blocky when made of this few pixels, but it now looks good.
The Oppo A9 2020's screen compared to the Reno Z's (Image credit: TechRadar)
Sure, we'd prefer a Full HD screen, but that is the Oppo Reno Z's job. And crucially, we would rather a 720p+ LCD (as seen here) than a 720p+ OLED.
OLED displays for phones use a PenTile sub pixel arrangement, in which pixels share subpixels. That means the lower pixel density clarity we see here just isn't possible in an OLED of the same resolution (yes, an OLED would offer better contrast and color).
It's also important to appreciate what the Oppo A9 2020 can still do very well. Even a 720p+ screen like this is perfect for YouTube streaming. Video footage still looks excellent at this resolution, and the very large canvas makes watching video more enjoyable. We thought we'd dislike this screen, but we like it, quite a lot in fact.
There's one other thing to bear in mind too: did you know Netflix doesn't actually stream at resolutions above 720p on most Android phones? Still, if only the sharpest text will do, consider the Moto G8 Plus.
Disclaimer: an earlier version of this review mistakenly claimed the phone didn't have NFC. It does, so you'll be able to use Google Pay on the handset.

A 1,300 Year Old, Egyptian Book of Spells Has Been Deciphered
Egyptian Handbook of Spells Deciphered (Live Science)
Order the Coptic Handbook of Ritual Power
How did the Egyptians in the 8th century A.D. cast a love spell, exorcise a demon or subjugate their enemies? A recently translated codex reveals 27 different spells that were combined for form a "single instrument of religious power." The book was written in the Coptic language, an adaptation of Greek script, at a time when many Egyptians were Christians. In fact, the book contains many invocations that refer to Jesus Christ.
What is interesting is that several of the invocations seem to originate from a group who called themselves "Sethians." This was a group that flourished in Egypt during the early centuries of Christianity. They held Seth, who they believed to be the third son of Adam and Eve, in high regard. One invocation refers to Seth as the living Christ.
What is interesting is that before Christianity came to Egypt, Seth was one of the chief Gods of Upper Egypt. He was a desert God of war and strength. (He was also demonized in other parts of Egypt).
This Sethian Cult eventually died out, but it is interesting to see how Pagan ideas and Christianity were blended together in the early days of Christianity.
I think some of the articles about this topic are misleading however, because they call the book an "Ancient Egyptian" book of spells. Since this codex was written in the Christian and Islamic Era, I would hardly say that it was "Ancient History." I'd be more likely to call it Medieval History.

Guy Sings 10 Different Styles of Metal
Major props to this guy. His throat sounds like it's gonna need a bucket of Vaseline and lemon juice after such an ambitious vocal exercise. He even adds his own campy lyrics to represent each genre of metal. This video makes me realize there are too many "cores" in terms of types of metal. I'd also like to hear his take on Heavy, Power, and Doom Metal.

Time to put the "Grim" back into the Grimm Brother's Fairy Tales
Once upon a time a boy and his little brother were pretending to be a butcher and a pig. The older brother slices the younger's throat, only to be stabbed in the heart by his enraged mother. Unfortunately, while she was stabbing her son, another one of her children drowns in a bath tub. So then she hangs herself. When dad gets home, he's so depressed that he soon dies afterwords.
Now this might sound like the content of a death metal video, but this is actually one of the original tales from The Grimm's Brother Fairy Tales. Jacob (1785–1863) and Wilhelm Grimm (1786–1859), were German academics, linguists, cultural researchers, lexicographers and authors who together specialized in collecting and publishing folklore during the 19th century. They are particularly famous for tales such as "Cinderella," "The Frog Prince," "Hansel and Gretel," "Rapunzel" and "Snow White."
Recently, Jack Zipes, a professor of German and comparative literature at the University of Minnesota, began to explore why the first edition of the tales had never been translated into English, and decided, eventually, to do it himself. "Though the Grimms kept about 100 of the tales from the first edition, they changed them a good deal. So, the versions with which most English-speaking (and German-speaking) readers are familiar are quite different from the tales in the first edition," he told the Guardian.
His newly published version of the original 156 stories is just out from Princeton University Press, illustrated by Andrea Dezsö, and shows a much darker side to well-known fairy tales. Several more gruesome stories, like the Butcher and Pig tale, are added back into the edition. Zipes also adds the original versions of our well known fairy tales. The evil queen who wants Snow White killed is actually her mother, Rapunzel gets impregnated by the prince after having a "merry time" with him in the tower, Hansel and Gretel were abandoned by their own mothers, and Cinderella's step sisters cut off their toes in order to make the slipper fit onto their feet.
So why was the English version of these tales made into a PC production, when the original tales were more R rated? One theory is that the tales were rewritten to appeal to more Middle Class, Christian Families. We can't forget that the more PC version of the tale was also published in 1857, a time when Europeans were beginning to embrace more "Victorian Values," which meant taking sex and violence out of the discussion, while adding Christian Values.
I remember back when I was taking a Medieval Literature class, I was surprised by how blunt most Medieval literature was about matters of sex and violence – even during an era when the Christian Church was the predominant authority. In the Canterbury Tales, The Wife of Bath remarries 5 times and brags about how she sexually dominates her much younger husbands in the bedroom. In another tale, a priest comes to a woman's window at night and asks for a kiss, she instead sticks her ass out of the window and he gives her an accidental rim job.Once he realizes what he had done, he proclaims "I did not know my lady had a beard!" If this isn't scandalous enough, the young lady in this tale was also cheating on her husband with a younger lover. The next night the priest comes back to get revenge on the young lady, but unexpectedly, her young lover who was with her at the time sticks his rear end out of the window and the priest shoves a burning hot poker where the sun don't shine.
This is not to mention that many Anglo Saxon inspired Medieval Tales had enough violence to make a Quentin Tarantino movie look G-Rated. Such as one tale I read about a Prince who rescues his princess from being married off to another, he interrupts the wedding, massacres all the guests along with the groom, and then rides away with his beloved.
So you have to understand that before The Victorian Era, much of the Folk Tales of the common people were rife with blunt sexuality and violence. It is also believed that the common child was less sheltered from such brutal realities. In terms of sex, before the Industrial Era, a majority of people lived on farms in close living quarters. It is here that children witnessed the realities of reproduction among their domesticated animals. The children who had to sleep in the same room as their parents were probably also more aware of natural human processes.
In terms of other realities, death was much more common in every day life before the Industrial Revolution. Because of the Industrial Revolution, the population more than doubled in London between 1750 and 1850. Before this period, population growth was relatively stable. The Industrial Revolution helped to provide more food and shelter for the masses, while also cutting down on disease, which is part of why the population exploded. Yet before this period of time, people died all the time from things like the common cold, and surviving childhood was a major accomplishment. For example, in London, between between the 16th and 18th centuries, 30% of children died before they reached the age 15. Many women also died in childbirth because midwives did not know to wash their hands, so the poor mother often got infected.
In short, it is not surprising that folk tales were rife with more carnal and morbid details. Death and reproduction were realities that the common adult and child witnessed day to day.
The common practice of shielding our children from violence and sexuality today is quite new – a Victorian innovation. Today we see this in the hysteria of parents trying to shield their children from violent video games or provocative music. Even seeing a woman's breasts or a man's genitals in a movie is met with outrage.
Should parents be more open with their kids about how the world really works? Perhaps such children would be less likely to get pregnant on accident, and be more prepared to face the cruel realities of the real world. Many middle class people today are sheltered, raised in a bubble where everyone gets a trophy or a fuzzy banana sticker for merely showing up, and raised to believe that the world is a nice neat place, while being totally clueless about realities such as the plight of poverty in the third world, the destruction of the environment, and the rapes and murders taking place daily in less stable countries.
Children are much wiser and made of stronger stuff than we give them credit. Perhaps it's time we stop shielding them from the horrors of reality, and start raising them to be people who will approach and deal such adversity with courage, rather than raising cowards who won't step an inch away from their comfort zone.

As the winter approaches for those of us in the world's Northern Hemisphere, the ice cold chill of this Norwegian black metal song fits the season well. Satyricon makes for a formidable force with the singer's ghoulish voice, pumping double bass drums and an ambiance that sounds like it was recorded in a primeval Norwegian forest. The Nordic fathers are calling, those ancient Heathen voices from long ago are returning yet, like torches in the dark. The black metal of today evokes voices of old, in their brutal, primal essence.
My skin is cold and the birds fly free
Over my head, where winter grows
A heathens call, stand up or fall
This world is yours, for you to rule
This, the blood of sin
Flows freely
This, unstoppable force
In the naked flesh
My skin is cold – your skin is cold
Black metal rock and scent of leather
And bloodstained gold
With rain and wind come times of change,
and dream come true
I go with you, on the path we make
Snow covered mountain
I gaze in awe
Wondering who and what was here before
I made my mark on that sacred soil
This phoenix rose from a pit of pain
One nations man carrying the weight,
of a peoples disgrace
This is the turnaround!
Driven by birthright and godsent will
The time has come for you to rule

Nature Remains ~ Walt Whitman
After you have exhausted what there is in business, politics, conviviality, and so on – have found that none of these finally satisfy, or permanently wear – what remains? Nature remains. ~ Walt Whitman

The Fastest Growing World Religion – None
Oh no! According to this video, the fastest growing religion in the world is "no religion." 1 in 5 American adults have no religion and this trend is growing quickly among internet savvy Millennials. This surely means that everyone is now going to throw morality out the window, and much like the citizens of Sodom and Gomorrah, we're gonna start having sex with rocks, raping angels and having gay orgies with the Anti-Christ! The horror the horror!
I mean, isn't that what life was like before Judeo-Christian religion ever existed, didn't people just rape babies and cannibalize each other left and right? I mean, there certainly weren't tolerant, sophisticated pre-christian civilizations in the world like Egypt, Rome, or China – am I right?
Hopefully you understand that so far, this post has been very sarcastic, although much of what I mentioned above about Sodom would make cool content for a metal video.
EDUCATED PEOPLE ARE BECOMING LESS RELIGIOUS
But yes, it appears that all around the world, in the areas where people have more access to the internet and education, they are becoming less religious. Yet the lack of "religion" doesn't mean that people aren't spiritual. Even several of the atheists I know take solace in practices like meditation and yoga.
Yes, I did make a post a while ago about how Paganism had one of the fastest rates of growth out of all the religions in America. Yet Paganism is still a very small minority, 0.3% of the population. In terms of rapidly growing religions with a large following, the religious "nones" are quickly booming.
So as I mentioned above, much of this development is because of education. Now that we live in a world where information about a plethora of religions and philosophies are available at the click of a button, people have a greater ability to think for themselves about what they think the truth is. The internet is also helping to bring people together at an ideological level. Before the internet, people were limited to their geography if they wanted to become part of a community, and of course, the central social network in most communities is the church. Many atheists felt isolated from a religious point of view. Yet now many of these atheists have found a sense of community among like minded non-believers on the internet.
THE WORLD THAT EXISTED BEFORE THERE WAS "ONE CORRECT RELIGION"
Is the decrease of religion a bad thing? Does this spell out the moral decline of civilization as we know it? As I sarcastically mentioned earlier, many of the world's most advanced civilizations existed before the spread of Christianity and did quite well for themselves. If anything, the growth of non-religion will simply take us back to the natural order of things. Monotheistic religion was splinter, a minor aberration in the scheme of time. Why do you think that Pagan holidays such as Easter and Christmas persisted, even as Christianity was shoved down people's throats at the edge of a sword? Why do you think ideas like hell had to be invented to keep people religious? If religion is so appealing, why do people have to be scared into it? It's because it is an unnatural system with laws that are not consistent with the laws of nature.
Pagan ideologies were diverse, and they certainly weren't perfect. But they were the natural outgrowth of a people's spiritual connection to their surroundings and culture. Paganism represented man's attempt to live alongside the laws of nature. People revered Gods who were strong, and represented ideals of survival and health. Today's "religious nones" are not pagan, but as they learn more about science and the natural world, they will hopefully use rational thought and debate to come up with a moral system that exists closer to Natural Law, and represent more realistic ideas about the environment and human sexuality. Nature is the weed and religion is a manicured garden. You can use all the pesticide you want, but at the end of the day Nature and her followers will always win out.
The ancient world was a much more spiritually diverse and tolerant place than the world we live in today. I'm not saying that the ancient world was a nice place. Don't get me wrong, it was a very brutal place in a lot of ways. The Romans killed a large number of Druids to subdue the Celtic resistance. Leaders like Augustus and Tiberius Caesar were also weary about the cultural influence of Eastern Religions – such as the Cult of Isis in Rome. Yet despite the fact that some ideas were preferred over others, people had the freedom to worship their own Gods as long as they followed the law and paid homage to the emperor.
In a debate about the morality of religion, it has also been brought up that people can develop a framework of values without having a religion that carves such values into stone. For example, the Chinese have followed Confucianism as a key moral ideology of their society for 2,000 years, and while Confucianism promotes good character and social order, it is not a religion.
NOT ONLY CAN YOU BE MORAL WITHOUT RELIGION
BUT RELIGION ITSELF MAY ACTUALLY BE VERY IMMORAL
Is religion dangerous? I think so. Is religion immoral? I think so. If you watched the video above, one person states that the number one book that convinces people to become atheists (even more so than any work by Richard Dawkins or Christopher Hitchens) is the bible. It's a book replete with genocide, rape, sexism, racism, homophobia, incest, pedophilia, and the celebration of slavery. Here are some wholesome verses for the whole family:
COMMIT A GENOCIDE OF THOSE WHO DON'T SHARE YOUR RELIGION:
"This is what the Lord Almighty says… 'Now go and strike Amalek and devote to destruction all that they have. Do not spare them, but kill both man and woman, child and infant, ox and sheep, camel and donkey.'" (1 Samuel 15:3)
…but what about "thou shalt not kill? " Now I'm confused.
GO MURDER A BABY:
"Happy is he who repays you for what you have done to us – he who seizes your infants and dashes them against the rocks." (Psalm 137:9)
…yes, because a merciful and just God glorifies the death of babies.
TIME TO GANG RAPE A HOE:
"So the man took his concubine and sent her outside to them, and they raped her and abused her throughout the night, and at dawn they let her go. At daybreak the woman went back to the house where her master was staying, fell down at the door and lay there until daylight. When her master got up in the morning and opened the door of the house and stepped out to continue on his way, there lay his concubine, fallen in the doorway of the house, with her hands on the threshold. He said to her, 'Get up; let's go.' But there was no answer. Then the man put her on his donkey and set out for home." (Judges 19:25-28)
…ah yes, good old gang rape, that's some quality family values right there.
GOD SPARED ABRAHAM'S SON BECAUSE HE IS MERCIFUL, BUT FUCK JEPHTHAH'S DAUGHTER:
"And Jephthah made a vow to the Lord, and said, 'If you will give the Ammonites into my hand, then whoever comes out of the doors of my house to meet me, when I return victorious from the Ammonites, shall be the Lord's, to be offered up by me as a burnt-offering.' Then Jephthah came to his home at Mizpah; and there was his daughter coming out to meet him with timbrels and with dancing. She was his only child; he had no son or daughter except her. When he saw her, he tore his clothes, and said, 'Alas, my daughter! You have brought me very low; you have become the cause of great trouble to me. For I have opened my mouth to the Lord, and I cannot take back my vow.'" (Judges 11:30-1, 34-5)
…So God was nice enough to prevent Abraham from killing his son, but I guess the life of a man's daughter is less important. I mean, women aren't people – at least not in the bible.
SLAVES, SUBIMIT TO YOUR MASTERS!:
"Slaves, submit yourselves to your masters with all respect, not only to the good and gentle but also to the cruel." (1 Peter 2:18)
…Good old fashioned slavery.
ONE PROPHET, TWO BEARS AND 42 DEAD BOYS:
23 Then he went up from there to Bethel; and as he was going up by the way, young lads came out from the city and mocked him and said to him, "Go up, you baldhead; go up, you baldhead!" 24 When he looked behind him and saw them, he cursed them in the name of the LORD. Then two female bears came out of the woods and tore up forty-two lads of their number. (2 Kings 2:23-25)
…My personal favorite, this must be the original Goldilocks story.
You see, I'm one of those people who read the bible cover to cover. In fact, I didn't do so as some atheist looking for a good source of snark. I actually did this back when I was still a Catholic. I was looking for answers and hoping to improve my faith. Instead, reading the bible and going to church are probably two of the greatest catalysts for my loss of faith. I ended up finding much more solace in Edith Hamilton's mythology.
Thus, my read through of the bible made me realize that most Christians must not read the entire bible. Because surely this book of peace, love and wisdom that they discussed was not the same book that I was reading. And if they did read the whole bible, cover to cover, they must have done a triple back flip in mental gymnastics to assure themselves that the parts about not touching pig skin (a foot ball), or eating seafood, or marrying your rapist were simply metaphor, but the parts about gay sex were literal law.
Therefore, after reading the bible, I've come to the conclusion that it's not only a silly book, but that anyone who truly follows its commands – down to the last letter – must not be a good person. A man named A.J. Jacobs tried one year of living biblically and even wrote about it. Yet the truth is that it was impossible for him to truly do everything the bible commanded. There is even one humorous part where he tries throwing rocks at people he sees as being guilty for sin.
Honestly, most people I know who follow a religion, even the very conservative ones, are ultimately picking and choosing which verses they are going to follow. What makes them pick what is a good verse and what is a bad one? They are ultimately using their own logic, rather than doing everything the bible says. Therefore, if they are going to use their own logic anyways, they might as well just create their own spirituality at the end of the day, instead of half heartedly following one they don't entirely agree with.
You see, Religion is just an ideology like any other. Yet here is the difference. Most ideologies open themselves up to room for debate. Ideologies like politics, education, and philosophy can be subjected to the scrutiny of reason, so that they can be improved or altered to produce the best possible results. Even in China, a place where Confucianism was a key framework of morality, there was always the dialectic between Legalism, Confucianism and Taoism.
Yet Religion is different because it is an ideology backed up by a powerful Sky Daddy. It is not allowed to be debated, scrutinized or changed because it is a set of laws written in stone. Such an ideology can support the most murderous of intentions, and no one is allowed to disagree or else they are branded a "heretic." It is no small wonder that the Roman Empire fell apart after its conversion to Christianity. Without the freedom to question who was in charge, and why things were being done in a certain way, the empire fell into a state of ignorance and decay.
As Christopher Hitchens once stated in a debate, it wasn't the crusades that halted the power of Christianity, it wasn't the bloody Reformation that brought about the deaths of millions, and it wasn't the slaughter of indigenous people in the new world. What halted the power of Christianity was when the Christian nations finally controlled a majority of the planet in 1914. What was the result? Two world wars and a total destruction of the environment. Suffice it to say, people are not impressed, and now the influence of Christianity at a world stage is beginning to fade.
So am I scared of a world that is becoming less religious? No. I am hopeful. I am hopeful that there will be more chance for people to discover their own spiritualities, and find the best way of living through rational debate, rather than superstition and fear.

Are you struggling with your back squat or are you learning how to back squat?
Well, check out these 7 tips to help get your back squat on track and squatting like a pro.
Number one, work on your setup!
This is how you start your lift, so if you're setup incorrectly you're going to be having a tough time actually maintaining good posture while squatting.
Perform a mental checklist when you're squatting so you can do it without thinking about it.
Grab the bar in a good grip, keep the grip tight, and pull yourself underneath the bar.
Rest the bar inbetween the neck and traps on the shoulders (placement varies from a high to low bar so go with what feels right and tight), contract the lats to pull the bar into you.
Take a breathe, step back from the rack evenly with only two steps, adjust your feet outward a bit (as necessary), then proceed to step number two.
Do this every time and you'll have no trouble getting the basic setup correctly. Then making adjustments is easy, because you're in a solid position to squat.
Number two, breathe from the diaphragm!
Basically you're going to want to breath into the abdominals, not to the chest. Picture the expansion of a balloon below. Your body has to have something to brace the abdominals against. This column of air you create is it! This is probably the most important piece of squat setup that people fail at all the time.
Now once you've gotten air into the lower abdominals think a yoga breathe, but your actually going contracting your abdominals, obliques, lower back and hip muscular around this column of air to create stability. Brace like you're going to take a punch.
Keep mindful that you want to also pull the chest down a bit, tuck the chin and rotate your pelvis forward out of anterior pelvic tilt. Refer to the first skeleton above for proper alignment strategy.
Think in your head - breathe, nose first, then more through the mouth (if necessary, depends on how hard you need to brace), contract the core, squeeze the glutes, and set the chest and neck down a bit. This should feel like a super tight and slightly uncomfortable position. If it does you're doing it right, because it's tight and you're getting ready for a big lift.
Three, push or unlock your hips first!
This is a common vault that a lot of people start of squatting first with their knees coming forward first. Basically this just places a lot of excessive force on the knees and you'll end up with a lot of knee pain eventually. Always lead with the hips! That way you can use all of your leg musculature to push up those heavy weights.
As much as we see a lot of people bending their knees first, many people don't bend them enough. Remember, you want to start with the hips, but once the hips are unlocked start bending your knees.
You should have more knee bend than hip hinging in this lift, otherwise you're making it into a good morning or a stripper squat (I linked a stripper squat, simply because it's funny and I just recently saw this on Youtube). For many this is a good squat! It might be a squat variation, but ideally we want to achieve a nice solid knee bend that is in alignment with the toes and can be over the toes or vertical with the toes depending on your hip and knee biomechanics.
Five, as your descending you want to think about getting the hips between the knees.
This is an ideal scenario for the squat since you're still in control of the weight and you're not simply 'parachuting into enemy lines' or dropping and rebounding off the bounce at the bottom. You're using the legs to absorb that weight up on your back and then explode it back up to the top. Getting a good depth takes practice and time, but basically think about going to the bathroom out in the woods. You want to get low and keep those hips out to allow your hips enough room to get close to the ground.
If your legs are too close together and you feel like you can't go deep or are stacking ontop of your quads, then consider widening your stance a bit until you can get close to your hips between your knees. This will vary for some individuals with longer legs and depth should be varied to account for individual differences, but the goal should always be a full range of motion for as much leg development as possible.
A good way to try and improve your depth and even teach great squat position is to use the goblet squat as a warm-up or foundational exercise before you back squat. Check it out here - Goblet Squats!
Six, push evenly through the heals and mid-foot.
You ideally should be able to wiggle your toes all the way through the lift, as you're trying to drive through the power base of the feet. You should not have your heel elevating off the floor, since that's going to create a lot of stress on your knees and you may need to consider reseting your foot position or even getting a heal lift and/or ankle mobilization to help out with poor mechanics.
Seven, drive through the hips and legs pushing through the floor aggressively.
Squats are a compound movement involving almost every muscle in the body, especially if the weight is heavy. The key focal points are the quads, hamstrings, glutes, calves and core musculature.
You want each of this muscles working in unison to drive that weight onwards and upwards, so keep tight and drive through the floor like you're trying to push the ground away! Be aggressive on your ascent, but controlled on your descent.
Return to the top position of the squat, which should look like you're standing tall, chin tucked, core braced and ready to repeat the action.
There you have it. Seven quick tips to help improve your basic squatting ability. Now let's get busy and go kill some squats!

The Sixth Annual Chanukahstravaganza Comes to Littlefield This Month
The event is set for Thursday, December 22 at 8 p.m.
by Stephi Wild Dec. 08, 2022
THE SIXTH ANNUAL CHANUKAHSTRAVAGANZA is set for Thursday, December 22 at 8 p.m.
Lana Schwartz and Ilana Michelle Rubin are two Jewish (you might have guessed), native New Yorkers who always get pretty lonely around the holiday season. For the sixth year in a row, they've invited some of the funniest Jewish comedians in New York City (where else?) to help them celebrate the Miracle of Lights: Chanukah. Hannukah. Hanukah. However you choose to spell it. There will be songs, there will be laughter, there will be surprises, and you know there will be gelt. Lots of gelt. Tons of it.
This is not a Christmas show. This isn't even a holiday show. This is a Chanukah show. People of all faiths are, of course, welcome!
*PLEASE NOTE: This event will be mixed seated/standing. Arrive early for best seat selection.
*Individual performer appearances subject to change without notice.

Our mission from Day 1: Elevate the digital advertising experience for consumers, advertisers, and publishers.
Today, we're taking that mission to a whole new level. By harnessing the power of the massive data set that lives behind our proven, consumer-friendly formats, our understanding of engagement is set to create yet another seismic industry shift.
What's in our massive data set?
It goes way beyond the click. Our engagement events are comprised of the countless micro-interactions people have with our ads: the gestures, swipes, scrolls, tilts, lingers, you name it. They generate more than 200 billion privacy-safe data points every month, and they tell a vivid, compelling story about how audiences engage with marketing. We use that data to inform our format designs, audience segmentation, campaign optimization and more.
With 156 million monthly unique visitors, we also operate one of the world's largest independent mobile ad marketplaces—fifth overall in the U.S. behind Google, Facebook, Oath and Amazon (verified by comScore).
Our inventory is comprised exclusively of premium publishers which include CNN, Condé Nast, Time Inc., Vox Media, The New York Times and Univision. We deliver more than 8 billion mobile ad impressions every month on behalf of a significant share of the largest advertisers in North America, ranging from Target to BMW to Amazon.

Sohye Kim, "The Divided Nation and Korean Diasporic Filmmakers' Bittersweet Return"
Please join us this Friday as we host Sohye Kim (PhD Candidate, EALC). Sohye will present a draft of the third chapter of her dissertation. She summarizes the chapter as follows:
This paper explores the notions of home, homeland, and homecoming in Korean diaspora films. By following Korean diasporic filmmakers' cinematic journey between the divided homeland and host country, it questions how the medium of film delivers the experience of homecoming. The notion of "homecoming" is applied not only to human subjects' return to their homeland in the film texts but also to the diasporic filmmakers' incorporation into the homeland's film industry. By examining the homecoming in this dual sense, the paper aims to illuminate the relationships between the diasporic films and human subjects and the audience of both homeland and host country.
To be specific, this paper deals with works by ethnic Korean filmmakers active in Japan that either feature the issue of homecoming or were produced in South Korea. My analysis centers upon two second-generation Korean residents in Japan—one male and one female—and relatively established directors in Japan, namely, Sai Yoichi and Yang Yong-hi. I focus on Blood and Bones (2004) by the former and the documentaries Dear Pyongyang (2005) and Sona, the Other Myself (2010) as well as Our Homeland (2012), a feature film, by the latter. My main concern in this paper revolves around the directors' unstable and shifting positions between the host country, Japan, the home country, divided Korea, and spectatorship in both countries. On the basis of historical contextualization, I comparatively explore the relationships among representations, audience reactions, generations, and gender.
The paper is available at this link. If you have not received the password for the post, or if you have questions about accessibility, please feel free to contact Alex Murphy at murphya1@uchicago.edu.

Les Palaeoptera (les paléoptères) forment une infra-classe d'insectes ailés primitifs. Mis à part les ordres des Ephemeroptera et des Odonata, les autres ordres sont éteints et ils ne sont connus que par des fossiles.

Les insectes inclus dans ce groupe n'ont pas la capacité de rabattre leurs ailes contre leur partie dorsale, contrairement à ceux de l'infra-classe des Neoptera.

Caractéristiques
 Ailes rigides non susceptibles de se replier sur le dos au repos. Puisque les muscles responsables du vol sont directement insérés à la base des ailes, on dit qu'ils utilisent un mécanisme de vol direct.
 Les ailes antérieures ne recouvrent jamais les ailes postérieures.
 Pièces buccales broyeuses.
 Développement de type hémimétabole.

Liste des ordres
Les ordres des paléoptères sont :
 Ephemeroptera — éphémères
 Odonata — libellules, demoiselles
 † Protodonata — aujourd'hui éteints
 †  — aujourd'hui éteints
 † Palaeodictyoptera — aujourd'hui éteints
 †  — aujourd'hui éteints

In Hello Games' No Man's Sky, you're free to do virtually whatever the game allows you to do in its expansive, limitless universe. You can fly from galaxy to galaxy. You can build a home base. You can grow and harvest crops. Fight off space pirates. Trade goods. Build space freighters, and so much more. You can even race.
Not only can you race in No Man's Sky, but you can also create your own races for other players to compete in as well. To do so, though, you're going to have to get your hands on a Race Initiator.
In fact, it's less about getting your hands on a Race Initiator and more about building one yourself.
First and foremost, what is a Race Initiator? Simply put, it's an item you can build that allows you to create a race for you and others to compete in. Once you have one, you must place the Race Initiator at the starting point of what will soon become your race. From there, you're going to have to actually chart your race. Once that's complete, you've got yourself a race.
Sounds pretty cool, right? To build a Race Initiator, you're first going to have to gather 200 units of Heridium, which can be easily found in most cave systems on planets throughout the universe. Next, you're going to need a Voltaic Cell. There's a few steps involved in obtaining one of these, though.
If you haven't built a Science Terminal, you're going to want to do that first. Upon doing so, you'll find that the Scientist quest line is available. Complete this quest line and you'll be rewarded with the Voltaic Cell blueprint. Once you have that, you'll see that all you need to build a Voltaic Cell is 50 Marrow Bulbs. This material can be found in a glowing plant found in deep cave systems. Once you have 50 of these bulbs, build a Voltaic Cell and you'll be one step closer to having everything you need to build a Race Initiator. The final material needed is a Non-Ferrous Plate. Sadly, Non-Ferrous Plates can't be found naturally — they must be built. To build one of these plates, you'll need 20 Marrow Bulbs and 50 Gamma Roots. Gamma Roots can be found in the roots of trees found on radioactive planets. After gathering these materials, build yourself a Non-Ferrous Plate.
With the final material needed built, you should have everything you need to build a Race Initiator. To open the Build Menu, press Z on your keyboard or up on the d-pad if you're using a controller. With this menu open, find the Race Initiator, select it and find a good spot to build it — ideally, the spot you choose to build it is a space that would serve as the ideal starting point of a race. With this done, you're now free to chart a race and challenge your friends to a race built completely by you.

As a trusted flint supplier, All Brick & Stone are often asked about quality loose flint, and, as you might expect, we've been involved in a few projects that use them in our time!
As an experienced flint supplier, we'd recommend a gauged mix for consistency. The mortar is then pressed into the spaces between the flints, and is left slightly proud until it starts to go off. Any large gaps are filled with separately supplied galleting flint.


This software allows our company's team members to make orders straight through the system and cut out the middleman that would have been assigned filling orders by hand. It also allows users to customize certain documents, saving our graphic designers time on documents they would have had to craft themselves for each specific case.
easy to upload basic content and make certain changes, such as menus, organizing folders, etc. Customer Support from Vanick is very good.
Can be a little clunky until you get used to it; look-and-feel isn't as flexible for custom branding.
