Formed in the middle of the Alps in Innsbruck in 2017, Black Corona fuses melody and groove and into their own take on metal music. The partly clean and shouted vocals are accompanied by spherical guitar melodies that can switch to ripping riffs in a moment's notice. On their debut album they present eight songs as well as a tribute to the Swedish melodic death metal giants "At the Gates". Midtempo beats, low-tuned guitars and soaring melodies are the soul and body of this opus. If Black Coronas sounds would need to be defined, fitting labels could be Melodic Death Metal, Groove Metal and Metal Core. Their uniqueness to combine these music styles presents a sound genre which needs to be heard. Black Corona is now ready for the release of their new album "The Mission" which will be released worldwide May 22nd through Art Gates Records.

Best Buy releases their Insignia 4K Fire TV Edition televisions
Posted by Elias Saba on September 18, 2018 — 9 Comments
Best Buy has released their Insignia 4K Fire TV Edition televisions. The TVs come in three sizes, which include a 43-inch model for $329.99, a 50-inch model for $379.99, and a 55-inch model for $449.99. If those sizes and prices sound familiar, that's because they're identical to the Toshiba 4K Fire TV Edition televisions released earlier this year. These new Insignia TVs are nearly identical to the Toshiba TVs, with only a few minor differences.
When Amazon and Best Buy announced their partnership to release new 2nd-generation Fire TV Edition televisions this year from Toshiba and Insignia, they said that "more than 10" models will be released. Toshiba kicked things off with the release of three 4K TVs and then recently followed up with the release of three 1080p/720p TVs. Now Insignia has released their three 4K TVs and we know they have three more models coming that will likely be identical to Toshiba's non-4K TVs.
These new Insignia 4K Fire TV Edition televisions are nearly identical to the Toshiba 4K Fire TV Edition televisions. They come in three screen sizes that are all 4K UHD LCDs with LED backlights and a 3840 x 2160 resolution. They have 3 HDMI inputs, one of which is an ARC port for return audio, composite video ports, and an RF antenna connection for the built-in TV tuner.
The TVs feature DTS "TruSurround" speakers. They have optical audio out, as well as a headphone jack to analog audio out. Connectivity includes a 10/100 Ethernet port and 802.11a/b/g/n/ac WiFi. There's also a USB 2.0 port that can be used to extend how long the TV can pause live television by connecting external storage.
These Insignia TVs are powered by the same quad-core 1.4 GHzMStar T12 processor as Toshiba's TVs and have the same Mali-T820-MP2 GPU. They feature 2GB of RAM and 8GB of internal storage for apps, which can be expanded through the aforementioned USB port. Like all of Amazon's newer Fire TV devices, these TVs are running Fire OS 6, which is based on Android 7.1.
The remote that comes with Insignia's TVs is identical to the one that comes with Toshiba's TVs. It features a microphone for Alexa voice searches and requests, as well as the usual Fire TV media and navigation buttons. There are power and volume buttons, as well as dedicated buttons to mute and bring up the channel program guide. Along the bottom, in a 2-by-2 grid, are four app shortcut buttons to launch Prime Video, Netflix, HBO, and PlayStation Vue.
Both Insignia's TVs and Toshiba's TVs say they come "with HDR," but don't be fooled. These are NOT true HDR televisions. They are capable of decoding and playing back an HDR signal, but their screens are not HDR screens, so you won't see any advantage to playing HDR content. It's frankly very misleading for Best Buy and Amazon to put "HDR" in the title of these TVs.
The only real difference between Insignia's TVs and Toshiba's TVs is the overall dimensions. Insignia's Fire TV Edition televisions are slightly thinner, smaller, and lighter. With Insignia's TVs being 0.4 inches thinner and 3.4 pounds lighter for the 55-inch models, it's not much of a difference, but could be enough to mater for some.
Ultimately, the main factor you should consider if you're deciding between these new Insignia TVs or Toshiba's TVs is price, since they're nearly identical. The other factor would be which company you think will provide the better customer service and support. Insignia's new Fire TV Edition televisions are available now to order through Amazon's or Best Buy's website and should be available to see in person in Best Buy Stores soon.
Regarding the HDR thing, how the heck is that not false advertising?!?!?
JFC says:
It certainly sounds like false advertising to me!!!
If I bought one of those TV's expecting that I'd be able to benefit from HDR quality video when played on the TV screen, and then found out the screen wasn't capable of that, I'd be pissed!
It seems like a very un-Amazon-like thing to do, since they're generally pretty good about correctly describing the products they sell, especially when it's their own items.
I think it's all about the wording that keeps it legal. It's "with HDR" and "HDR-compatible." Nowhere does it say its an "HDR TV" or "HDR screen."
In Amazon's defense, when the first Toshiba Fire TV Edition televisions were released, "HDR" did not appear anywhere on Amazon's product page, but it was in Best Buy's title and listed in their specs. Amazon later added HDR to their product page as well, probably to stay competitive with Best Buy.
No HDR? No up-scaling? No way!
I'm sure it up-scales. I think every tv up-scales to it's native resolution right? But I agree, I would not buy a new TV without HDR at this point.
I bought the 50 inch Toshiba on Prime Day and wouldn't know HDR if it bit me in the butt, but I do like the picture. It's a nice upgrade to my 7 year old 1080P Insignia, which I still have and like.
The Toshiba has very thin bezels but is not actually particularly thin, which I think may account for the some pretty decent sound for TV speakers. That remote is hard to get used to because the placement of buttons is different from standard fireTV remote and the Alexa function doesn't always work the first time you press the button on the remote. I wonder if the Insigna line have the same issues. Other than the remote my only real complaint is that the home screen shuts off the TV after a very short while. You can pause a show walk away to fix a snack and the TV is off. Waiting for fix for that.
I would buy it again and hope the fireTV hardware doesn't get outdated too soon.
Djsjjsjejs says:
Best Buy is stupid for inviting Amazon into the Den
What scu* They literally say "Smart LED TV with HDR" That mean it comes with HDR. That's like say it comes "with a Million dollars" compatible. If you supply the million dollars. Everyone should leave 1 star reviews mentioning the HDR until they remove it from the product description. Totally false advertising and just unethical. Bad enough they sell "HDR" tvs that can't do full HDR brightness. This is just wrong.

The Parco Acquatico Cavour is an enterprise, which produces and sells amusement, surrounded by the beauty and the peacefulness of nature. It all began with the construction of a semi-Olympic and some tennis courts. But the idea of Mr. Bighelli was another, the creation of a pool that had all the appearances of a natural pond. Thus was born in the early 80s, the first pool excisting in Europe with sand bottom. The success of this first pool was immediate, it was an absolute novelty that led visitors to appreciate more and more the park. Meanwhile the park was enriched with new plants, flowers and the gentle scopes of the lawns had become soft carpets. Then arose various dining and service points, shaded areas, benches for picnics scattered in the 200.000 square meters park.


The first class of Journalism Health Care Fellows in a partnership sponsored by the National Library of Medicine and the Association of Health Care Journalists (AHCJ) has been selected and will meet with physicians and researchers at NLM and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) during a weeklong visit to the NIH campus, September 13-17, 2009.
The Fellows will receive hands-on training in the use of NLM databases, such as PubMed, MedlinePlus, ClinicalTrials.gov, TOXNET and the Household Products Database. They will also meet with senior NLM and NIH researchers and officials for information sessions on such topics as diabetes, infectious disease, health disparities, and personalized medicine.


SAUCERIAN SHOOTDOWN IS A speedy missile-firing game as straightforward as its title. This BASIC program works on 8-bit Atari computers with at least 32K memory, disk or cassette.
During your duty shift at the security console monitoring the outer sectors surrounding the military outpost on planet Traken, your scanners report several unidentified objects moving erratically in and out of Quadrant 24. Checking your databases, you find that no maneuvers are planned for that quadrant today. You quickly dispatch an Occuloid Trackship to investigate.
Arriving at the scene, the Occuloid's camera reveals strange saucer-like objects darting about. You switch onto a general broadcast hailing frequency and try to communicate with the saucers. There is no response.
Although the saucers don't appear to be hostile, they might well be remote-controlled spy devices from some other planet. You can't take chances with the security of this remote military base. If these saucers won't answer your communications, you will send an Automated Missile Launcher to shoot them down.
Type in Listing 1, SAUCER.BAS, check it with TYPO II and SAVE a copy before you RUN it. If you have trouble typing the special characters in lines 20060-20075, don't type them in. Instead, type in Listing 2, check it with TYPO II and SAVE a copy. When you RUN Listing 2, it creates these hard-to-type lines and stores them in a file called LINES.LST.
To merge the two programs, disk users LOAD "D:.BAS" and then ENTER "D:LINES.LST." Cassette users: CLOAD Listing 1, then insert the separate cassette used for Listing 2 and ENTER "C:". Remember to SAVE the completed program before you RUN it.
Move the joystick to shift the Automated Missile Launcher left or right across the bottom of the screen. Press the joystick button to launch a missile. You score 100 points for every hit, plus a bonus of 1000 points for every 5 saucers destroyed.
You can only hit a saucer when it is directly above your Launcher. When a saucer is targeted accurately, its color will turn white. The Launcher is armed with 50 missiles. The game ends when all missiles have been fired.

It's always a big surprise when the holiday episode of Doctor Who is a critical not-to-be-missed episode. When we last saw the Doctor, she was trapped millions of light years away in an alien prison. The New Year's Day 2021 special Revolution of the Daleks is not a filler, out-of-continuity holiday showpiece, instead continuing after ten months have lapsed for the Doctor's companions back on Earth, and after the Doctor has been imprisoned for years in that same relative time span. If you missed this episode you missed: the return of John Barrowman's universal fan-favorite character Captain Jack Harkness, another Law & Order/Law & Order UK crossover/reunion, the last we'll see of some major characters, a new Prime Minister, a preview of a new companion, and one of the best Dalek episodes in the 57 years of the series. As the studio releases word that Jodie Whittaker will be soon leaving the series, Revolution of the Daleks reflects that both her performance as the 13th Doctor and Chris Chibnall's running of the series has finally arrived. It's a timeless story full of important, lovely emotional beats, fantastic new sci-fi special and visual effects, and a return to the classic framework and themes of the show's past.
Let's take a look at why this episode was superb and offer up some candidates for the 14th Doctor…

All the movies you'll want to see in 2021, and a look back at the releases and delays of 2020
Filed under: Fantasy Realms, Movies, Retro Fix, Sci-Fi Café, Superheroes, TV — Leave a comment
It's that time of year again, time to take a look forward at what movies should be on your radar for 2021! But wait! Next year's list sure looks a lot like the the films we previewed last December. The covid pandemic has delayed hundreds of film projects, but some made it through. When you walk back through last year's list and compare it to movies released after theater lockdowns, you get some insight into how Hollywood thinks. Big movies and movies predicted to be successes were universally held back, while less popular films were released to low box office returns from theaters that remained open, and yet other films went directly to home streaming or related media platforms.
Last year we pulled 85 of the hundreds of films then slated for the 2020 movie calendar. The first two dozen made it to theaters (films like Underwater, Dolittle, and Birds of Prey) before the national shift began on March 11 with news of the NBA reacting to the pandemic by suspending pro basketball–the first national awareness of the scope of the problem. Suddenly we saw Vudu and other home platforms coming to the rescue for our entertainment fix, adding a new Theater at Home option, which captured movies like Anya Taylor-Joy's Emma, Vin Diesel's Bloodshot, and the animated Scoob! Disney began an interesting tiered release of Mulan, which for half the year showed a studio doing its best to maximize returns on what would have been a key release in any other year. After another delay The New Mutants made it briefly to theaters followed by home release after three years of getting kicked aside as the last vestiges of the Disney-Fox merger were shaken out. Other films, like Vast of Night, Extraction, The Old Guard, Rebecca, Radioactive, and Fantasy Island safely premiered on Netflix and Amazon Prime, with Chris Hemsworth's Extraction standing out as the clear popular winner–the entire world needed some new entertainment and after what would only be the first of several months of shelter-at-home, it tentatively filled the void.
So our predictions for the year's big genre films were flat wrong, every single one except Mulan was delayed to 2021, including Ghostbusters: Afterlife, Black Widow, No Time to Die, a new Fast & Furious, Tom Clancy's Without Remorse, and superhero flicks Venom 2, Eternals, and Morbius. Wonder Woman 1984 is expected to have a theatrical release by year end. Altogether 35 of last year's 85 movies previewed on our annual list are back again below, plus we found more than 35 new genre films we think will appeal to borg readers.
So what's left and what's new?
Grab your calendar and start making your plans–here are the movies you'll want to see in 2021. Then compare the below list to our 2020 list, and look back to the 2019 list, 2018 list, 2017 list, 2016 list, 2015 list, or 2014 list. Last year we noticed studios moving genre content from the big screen to the small screen via streaming services, and the pandemic only stepped up that migration. Note: Warner Bros. has reported it will issue its 2021 releases simultaneously on HBO Max. Netflix has mostly dramas slated for 2021, but a few genre films are in pre-production, so expect a few surprises throughout the year. Amazon Studios has fewer, most partnerships with Blumhouse Productions.
As we learned well this year, many of these films will have revised release dates, and even get pushed to 2022.
Mortal Kombat. Based on the video game. New! Tentative release date: January 15, 2021. HBO Max.
Wrath of Man. Next Jason Statham action flick. New! Tentative release date: January 15, 2021.
The French Dispatch. Wes Anderson and his familiar actors in new quirky film about journalists. New! January 28, 2021.
The Dig. A film about a woman finding archaeological treasures on her land, starring Ralph Fiennes, Lily James, and Carey Mulligan. January 29, 2021. Netflix.

Strange New Worlds–Captain Pike & crew to return in next Star Trek spin-off series
Filed under: Sci-Fi Café, TV — Leave a comment
Like the split between fans of the third Star Wars trilogy and The Mandalorian, fans of Star Trek probably see themselves aligned to prefer either Star Trek: Discovery or Star Trek: Picard. Or maybe there's even a better contrast between Star Trek: Discovery's first season worldbuilding vs. that series' second season's throwback concepts. Was your favorite character the badass Mirror Universe Emperor Philippa Georgiou (formerly Federation Captain), played by the sly and fabulous Michelle Yeoh (the only actor onscreen who could actually immobilize someone in real life with her martial arts skill and the highest paid actress in Asia)? Maybe it was the very Original Series-inspired engineer Jett Reno, who got the best dialogue and had the best style of any character in this decade of Trekdom, played by the brilliantly funny Tig Notaro? Maybe it is the series lead, the very straight-laced Ant-Man and The Wasp-inspired sci-fi-meets-superheroine, Captain Michael Burnham, played by Sonequa Martin-Green? Or maybe it is Anson Mount giving his own superhero performance as an early (and later?) famous Captain Christopher Pike of the familiar good ship Enterprise? Turns out, if any one of the above fits the bill for you, Star Trek has something for you heading your way.

Scoob! The next "in-theaters" movie is coming directly to home release May 15
Filed under: Fantasy Realms, Movies, TV — Leave a comment
It wasn't enough they got to co-star on Supernatural. We've seen them in a few live action movies, but now we get to see Scooby, Shaggy, Velma, Fred, and Daphne on the big screen in animated form in their first full-length animated film. The movie is titled Scoob! and it looks like the animation is cranked up a few notches, more like the style of The Incredibles, The Peanuts Movie, Toy Story, and Ferdinand. And now with theaters closed for the COVID-19 pandemic, this means Scoob!, scheduled to debut in theaters this Friday, instead is coming directly to your home Friday via streaming platforms including Amazon Prime and Vudu. As part of Vudu's Theater at Home, you can also get a $3 credit via email by pre-ordering Scoob! today–May 14–only.

All the movies you'll want to see in 2020
It's that time of year again, time to take a look forward at what movies should be on your radar for 2020. Are you going to see them all? Heck no. These are the genre films we think borg readers will want to know about to make their own checklists for the coming year–and they are only the films we know about so far. We pulled 85 of the hundreds of films that have been finalized or are in varying stages of final production, slated for next year's movie calendar.
What looks to top the list for most fanboys and fangirls? Ghostbusters: Afterlife! Scarlett Johannson solo in Black Widow! A new James Bond movie, No Time to Die. Vin Diesel in Bloodshot and a new Fast & Furious. The original Tom Clancy novel series is finally continuing with an adaptation of Without Remorse. Comic book adaptations are in less supply in 2020, but look for Venom 2, Wonder Woman 1984, Eternals, The New Mutants, Morbius, Birds of Prey, The Old Guard, and did we mention Black Widow? Compare the below list to our 2019 list and even the 2018 list, 2017 list, 2016 list, 2015 list, or 2014 list, and your takeaway may be seeing the studios moving genre content from the big screen to the small screen via streaming services.
Do you like sequels? There are far less coming to theaters in 2020 than in 2019, but many more remakes of movies, books, and TV shows are on the way. In fact, with all the blockbusters in 2019, 2020 looks pretty tame as the cinema marquee is concerned. Some films don't have locked in release dates yet: Amazon Studios and Netflix haven't revealed dates for the following 2020 releases (those we know you'll find on the calendar below):
7500, a film about a highjacked airplane, starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt (Amazon Studios)
The Dig, a film about a woman finding archaeological treasures on her land, starring Ralph Fiennes, Lily James, and Carey Mulligan (Netflix)
Horse Girl, Alison Brie stars and directs this story about an awkward girl who fuses her dreams with reality (Netflix)
Jingle Jangle, an animated Christmas story with the voices of Forest Whitaker, Keegan-Michael Key, and Hugh Bonneville (Netflix)
Louis Wain, biopic of the 19th century artist starring Benedict Cumberbatch, Claire Foy, and Andrea Riseborough (Amazon Studios)
The Old Guard, adaptation of comic book story, starring Charlize Theron and Chiwetel Ejiofor (Netflix)
Radioactive, a film about Marie Curie, starring Rosamund Pike and Anya Taylor-Joy (Amazon)
Rebecca, adaptation and remake of the Daphne Du Maurier classic novel, starring Lily James, Keely Hawes, Kristin Scott Thomas, and Armie Hammer (Netflix)
Welcome to Sudden Death, sequel to Jean-Claude van Damme 1995 movie starring Michael Jai White (Netflix)
The Willoughbys, animated adaptation of the Lois Lowry book, with voices of Maya Rudolph, Martin Short, and Jane Krakowski (Netflix)
Wonderland, murder conspiracy mystery starring Mark Wahlberg, Allan Arkin, and Colleen Camp (Netflix)
Some of these films will have revised release dates, or get pushed to 2021.
So grab your calendar and start making your plans–here are the movies you'll want to see in 2020 (and some you might not!):
The Informer – Thriller, starring Joel Kinnaman, Rosamund Pike, Ana de Armas, Common, and Clive Owen – January 10.
Underwater – Thriller, stars Kristin Stewart in underwater horror story – January 10.
Dolittle – Family/Comedy, stars Robert Downey, Jr. in remake of the classic, with voices of Tom Holland, Rami Malek, Octavia Spencer, Emma Thompson, Antonio Banderas, Ralph Fiennes, and Michael Sheen – January 17.

Trailer Park–The "Fast and Furious Dogs in the Danger Zone" Edition
Filed under: Fantasy Realms, Movies, Retro Fix, Superheroes, TV — Leave a comment
The second trailer for a sequel to a 1980s action film, two animated shows, and two films about courageous dogs make today's installment of Trailer Park. We saw our first trailer previewed earlier here for Tom Cruise′s return to the skies in Top Gun: Maverick. Now we have the next preview, with co-star Jennifer Connelly. The Fast & Furious franchise is expanding to the small screen with a new kids' show, Fast & Furious: Spy Racers, featuring the fast driving young cousin of Vin Diesel's character in the movies. Another animated movie brings a modern comic book tale to the screen, Superman: Red Son, an alternate history version of Superman where baby Superman landed in the Soviet Union instead of Kansas. It features the voices of Harry Potter's Jason Isaacs as Superman, The Drew Carey Show's Diedrich Bader as Lex Luthor, Grimm's Sasha Roiz as Hal Jordan, and Oscar and Grammy-winning pop star Paul Williams as Brainiac.
Two CGI movies are bringing tales of loyal canines to the screen. Call of the Wild is a remake of the 1935 film based on Jack London's 1903 novel. It stars Harrison Ford, Dan Stevens, and Karen Gillan. And based on a true story, Togo stars a dog named Diesel and stunt doubles from The Snowy Owl Sled Dog Tours, Inc., with Willem Dafoe, telling the tale of the dog that had the toughest leg of the journey to get medicine to Nome, Alaska, in 1925, before handing the package off to the more well-known dog Balto and his team.

Jinkies! Scooby Doo and the Gang get a new animated movie
Filed under: Fantasy Realms, Movies — Leave a comment
Which came first, Scooby Doo or Scooby Snacks?
Hey, Scoob! It wasn't enough they got to co-star on Supernatural. We've seen them in a few live action movies, but now we get to see Scooby, Shaggy, Velma, Fred, and Daphne on the big screen in animated form in their first full-length animated film. The movie is titled Scoob! and it looks like we get an answer to the question about Scooby Snacks (psst… in real life they were for dogs only and colored red, gold, and green, not just gold as seen in the show, but now they are available gold-colored and only in a people version). The animation is cranked up a few notches, looking a bit more like the modern animation style of The Incredibles, The Peanuts Movie, Toy Story, and Ferdinand.
The original voice actor for the entire four-decade history of Fred, Frank Welker, now takes on the voice of Scooby, with Will Forte as Shaggy, Zac Efron as Fred, Amanda Seyfried as Daphne, and Gina Rodriguez as Velma. The slate of actors voicing supporting characters looks great, with Mark Walhberg as Blue Falcon, Jason Isaacs as Dick Dastardly, Ken Jeong as Dynomutt, and Tracy Morgan as Captain Caveman.
And, yes, not everything needs an origin story, but why not one for Shaggy and Scoob? Check out this preview for Scoob!—the new Scooby Doo movie:

Fizzgig, Aughra, Skeksis, and more return in new Dark Crystal series coming this summer to Netflix
Filed under: Fantasy Realms, Movies, Retro Fix, TV — Leave a comment
After seeing Jim Henson and Frank Oz's The Dark Crystal return to theaters back in 2017 for its 35th anniversary, we were reminded why the movie kept up its status as the best live-action, high-fantasy film for two decades–until the arrival of Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings series. The set for Aughra′s beautiful pinnacle of all set pieces–the location of that mechanical wonder called the Orrery–showcased a fantasy creation that has yet to be surpassed in any film. We first mentioned Netflix green-lighting the return of The Dark Crystal universe way back in 2017 here at borg, as the studio began work on the ten episode series The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance. At last the first trailer has arrived (below) and the arrival date for the first season: August 30, 2019. The best part? Fizzgig is back, along with Aughra (voiced by Donna Kimball (Community)) and a re-creation of her incredible Orrery, and Henson's vile Skeksis, complete with that familiar, creepily sniveling voice. And as with the 1982 movie, the series uses puppets, which were created by Jim Henson Co.'s Creature Shop and Brian Froud, the original conceptual designer — there will be no CGI in the series.
Taron Egerton (Robin Hood, Rocketman, Kingsman series) will be playing the voice of Rian, Nathalie Emmanuel (Furious 7, Game of Thrones) is the voice of Deet, and Anya Taylor-Joy (Glass, Split, The New Mutants) is the voice of Brea (above)–making up the trio to lead the film as Gelflings. Other Gelfling characters will be voiced by Oscar winner Alicia Vikander (Tomb Raider, Ex Machina, The Man from U.N.C.L.E.), Oscar nominee Helena Bonham Carter (Alice in Wonderland, Harry Potter series), Emmy winner Eddie Izzard (Valkyrie, The Riches, Treasure Island), BAFTA nominee Mark Strong (Shazam!, Green Lantern, Kick-Ass, Kingsman series), Golden Globe nominee Toby Jones (Doctor Who, Harry Potter series, Marvel movies, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom), Golden Globe nominee Caitriona Balfe (Super 8, Outlander), plus Natalie Dormer (The Hunger Games series, Captain America: The First Avenger), Shazad Latif (The Commuter, Black Mirror, Star Trek Discovery), and Theo James (Underworld series).
Voicing the Skeksis and urRu (or "Mystics") are BAFTA winner Mark Hamill (Star Wars, The Flash, and Kingsman series, Batman animated series), Golden Globe nominee Jason Isaacs (Harry Potter series, Star Wars Rebels, Star Trek Discovery), BAFTA nominee Simon Pegg (Star Trek, Star Wars series), Emmy winner Keegan-Michael Key (The Predator, Tomorrowland), Emmy nominee Harvey Fierstein (Hercules, Independence Day), Ólafur Darri Ólafsson (The BFG), Ralph Ineson (The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, Guardians of the Galaxy, Star Wars, Kingsman, and Harry Potter series), and Golden Globe winner Andy Samberg (Saturday Night Live). Other voice roles will be performed by the puppet actors.

First images, award-winning cast revealed for The Dark Crystal prequel series on Netflix
Filed under: Fantasy Realms, TV — Leave a comment
After seeing Jim Henson and Frank Oz's The Dark Crystal return to theaters last winter for its 35th anniversary, we were reminded why this movie kept up its status as the best live-action, high-fantasy film for two decades–until the arrival of Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings series. The set for Aughra's beautiful pinnacle of all set pieces–the location of that mechanical wonder called the Orrery–showcases a fantasy creation that has yet to be surpassed in any film. We first mentioned Netflix green-lighting the return of The Dark Crystal universe last year here at borg, as the studio began work on the ten episode series The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance. No other news has surfaced publicly about the series until this week. We now have the first three images of the three lead character Gelflings, and an award-winning roster of voice actors. And good news for The Dark Crystal fans: Aughra will be returning, voiced by Donna Kimball (Community).
Taron Egerton (Robin Hood, Eddie the Eagle, Kingsman series) will be playing the voice of Rian (below, left), Natalie Emmanuel is the voice of Deet (below, right), and Anya Taylor-Joy is the voice of Brea (above)–making up the trio to lead the film.

Preview–The Death of Stalin, the graphic novel behind the new film
Filed under: Comics & Books, Movies — Leave a comment
A new political satire film is coming to U.S. theaters next week–The Death of Stalin. Ahead of its U.S. release, it has already caused controversy in Russia and other former Soviet Union states, and it's been banned in Russia, Kyrgyzstan, Azerbaijan, and Kazakhstan. Russian leadership has stated, "The Death of Stalin is aimed at inciting hatred and enmity, violating the dignity of the Russian people, promoting ethnic and social inferiority, which points to the movie's extremist nature. We are confident that the movie was made to distort our country's past so that the thought of the 1950s Soviet Union makes people feel only terror and disgust." The Death of Stalin is based on a French graphic novel by writer Fabien Nury with artwork by Thierry Robin and Lorien Aureyre.
Sounds like something worth reading, right?
Nury's The Death of Stalin is a dark comedy take on befuddled Russian leadership in the 1950s. Strangled by Joseph Stalin's paranoia and violent extremism, his lieutenants can barely function enough to call for a doctor when he suffers a heart attack that strikes him following his reading of a letter insulting him. Who will lead after his death and how many Russians will die as power is re-aligned? The story plays like a Quentin Tarantino film–think of the bulk of the political machinations in Inglourious Basterds mixed with Seth Rogen's The Interview, plus the absurdity of Doctor Strangelove set against the historical visuals and serious edge of Valkyrie. And it's all a very British comedy.
Sourced with a handful of well-known British comedic actors, the film stars Jason Isaacs (Harry Potter series, Star Trek Discovery), Steve Buscemi (Pulp Fiction, The Big Lebowski), Olga Kurylenko (Oblivion, Quantum of Solace), Andrea Riseborough (Oblivion, Never Let Me Go), Michael Palin (Monty Python & The Holy Grail, A Fish Called Wanda), Paddy Considine (Hot Fuzz, The World's End), and Jeffrey Tambor. Armando Iannucci (Veep) directs with cinematography by Zac Nicholson (The King's Speech, Les Miserables, The Scarlet Pimpernel) and costumes by Suzie Harman (The Bourne Ultimatum).
Check out this preview of the graphic novel The Death of Stalin and a trailer for the film:

Top Gear's Mitsubishi L200 "Project Swarm"
bedrijfswagennieuws bestellers 26 april 2017 Geen reacties Alex Miedema CV Show, Mitsubishi L200, Top Gear
Mitsubishi Motors in the UK will showcase the one-off Mitsubishi L200 that has been built in conjunction with Top Gear magazine at the 2017 Commercial Vehicle Show, held at the NEC, Birmingham from April 25 – 27. Developed in secret by the world's biggest-selling enthusiast magazine and codenamed 'Project Swarm', the totally unique Mitsubishi L200 will take centre stage on the brand's eye-catching stand (Hall 4, stand 4G90).
Fully exploring the potential of the Mitsubishi L200, 'Project Swarm' is built in the style of a 'Pre-Runner' off-road vehicle – specially modified production vehicles that are beefed-up to 'pre-run' stages of off-road desert racers.
Tom Ford, Associate Editor for Top Gear magazine, recently named as one of Top Gear America's hosts, joined forces with renowned engineer Ralph Hosier of RH Engineering, best known for his work on National Geographic Channel show Supercar Megabuild, to transform his standard Mitsubishi L200 long-term test vehicle into one of the wildest Mitsubishi vehicles on the road.
While it still has the interior comfort of a production L200, enhanced by a set of bespoke Cobra racing seats, the Desert Warrior has been made even more capable thanks to a range of additions, including an external roll cage, heavily modified suspension, oversized wheels with self-inflating tyres, long range LED lights and some extra kit that will be needed to negotiate some of the world's harshest terrain.
Top Gear is planning to use the Mitsubishi L200 Desert Warrior for a very special upcoming challenge which will feature in the magazine, and online, and detail many of the trucks additional features.
Commenting on his radical Mitsubishi L200, Tom Ford, said: "I've always had an obsession with 'Pre-runners' and this is my idea of the perfect desert truck. It's a very serious truck but it's got that little bit of theatre that makes me think it's got something extra to it. It's still an L200, but it has been made to be max-attack and it will not break. It's exactly what I wanted – something that has the appearance of a Hot Wheels toy and is every bit as tough as it looks!" Lance Bradley, Managing Director, Mitsubishi Motors in the UK, said: "The Mitsubishi L200 is one of the most durable pick-up trucks available, but the Desert Warrior takes its toughness to a whole new level. In fact, its purposefulness and ruggedness has provided the inspiration for the Mitsubishi L200 Barbarian SVP, the first limited edition model to be created by our new SVP (Special Vehicle Projects) programme."

The 2011 UK Budget will once again be more fuel on the Tory Government's class war fire. The class war being fought by business and the bosses is to prepare the economy to withstand and facilitate the worst cuts and attacks on the working class and labour movement since Thatcher. Whatever Goerge Osborne says about it being a "budget for growth" this is what is going on. Unenploymement is rising. Living standards are falling. Average earnings are falling. Those trends will continue. Lib Dem coalition partners are saying this budget will be more compassionate and fairer than a straight Tory...
The University and College Union (UCU) lecturers' strike on Thursday 24 March is the first ever national strike of UCU members in both further and higher education. The action is over a number of issues. Pay, jobs and pensions in higher education and pay and pensions in further education. Pensions is the issue that is providing most of the heat in this dispute. The clutch of proposed changes to the University Superannuation Scheme and the Teachers' Pension Scheme would result in all members paying more, working longer and getting far less. Hidden away within the recent Hutton report on public...
The generalised attack on public sector pensions that the UK government is pushing through now is not unprecedented. The French government did the same, going for wide-ranging "reforms" of retirement law last year, pushing up the retirement age, and reducing workers' pension entitlements. The major difference so far is that the French government was met with a massive strike wave which came close to bringing it down. The French union leaderships first co-ordinated single strike and protest days in April and May — these were spaced far apart, and although massive, were intended to be limited...
The Rail, Maritime and Transport workers' union (RMT) is moving towards escalation in a dispute against victimisations on London Underground. Two drivers, Eamonn Lynch and Arwyn Thomas, have been sacked on trumped-up charges and have not been reinstated despite both workers winning their Interim Relief Appeals. Following strike action involving workers on their own lines (Bakerloo and Northern respectively), the union will now move to a ballot of all its driver members at all depots across the LU network. It will also be urging ASLEF members to sign RMT membership forms for the day so they can...
Library workers in Lambeth have voted unanimously, in an indicative ballot, for strike action against job and service cuts. Unison has 90% union density in Lambeth Libraries; if it goes ahead, strike action would shut all of Lambeth's libraries. All "enquiry desk" staff are facing redundancy, and the mobile library service is closing as a result of a proposed Cultural Services restructure. As well as providing advice, enquiries desk staff run reading groups and story times. Lambeth Libraries get more than 100,000 visits per month, and many local people rely on the services the council plans to...
Two London mail centres could close as part of a Royal Mail restructuring plan, which puts over 700 workers and 1,000 managerial jobs on the chopping block. A further 1,700 head-office posts could go in a future review. Centres at Nine Elms and Bromley-by-Bow face complete closure, and Royal Mail bosses have warned of further cuts to come; the company says that up to half of the UK's 64 mail centres could face closure by 2016. Royal Mail has cut around 65,000 since 2002 but claims that voluntary redundancy and natural wastage mean that the current cuts will not involve any direct sackings...
Women's role in the Paris Commune was not limited to the morning of March 18 when a crowd of working class women put themselves between the cannons in possession of the National Guard (the citizen's militia) and the troops of the National Assembly, led by Adolphe Thiers; the action which sparked the revolution. Throughout the 72-day reign of the Commune, women organised, argued, theorised and fought alongside men to defend and develop the revolution. The Clubs Women discussed ideas, argued about demands and expressed their hatred of the church and the state and the role these institutions...

When I started my health tech marketing podcast, Mission Marketing, I went in expecting to learn from brilliant marketers. I thought I would learn about conversion tactics and messaging strategies, how to figure out exactly who a digital health startup's target customer was and how to generate leads fast.
While I have learned some really cool marketing lessons, the takeaway that I did not expect to learn on just about every episode was just how important relationships are. Perhaps more foundational to your inbound marketing than killer landing pages and optimized blog posts is how strong your relationships are.
Yes, strategy matters. Yes, funding matters. Yes, closing deals matters. But I've come to believe that if you have not worked to develop strong relationships in the healthcare industry and outside of it, your startup will struggle.
With that in mind, I'm creating a list of some incredible people I met through podcast so you can have all of their info in one place. These people in particular are experts in marketing, growth, and business planning. Listen to them.
I'll link to all the places you can follow them online - hope you can learn as much from them as I have.
Janae can help you develop a go-to market strategy for your health IT startup, however, her industry knowledge is much deeper. She founded Sharp Index, a nonprofit that fights physician suicide and burnout, because of a personal loss of her own. She understands much of what physicians face and can help you know if your product can (or can't) help clinicians - one of the most important factors health IT companies need to consider.
If you want someone to explain the numbers behind marketing in a simple, straightforward way, Colin is your guy. He came on Mission Marketing a while back to share his formula for discovering your total addressable market. If those words - total addressable market - sound scary to you, they shouldn't. Colin makesthis and discovering exactly who you need to reach incredibly simple, so simple in fact, you'll wonder why you didn't think of it first.
Any foray into the world of health IT and it won't be long before you come across John Lynn. As one of the early experts and bloggers on EHR and EMR, he has created valuable resources for anyone in this space. He also started the Health IT Marketing Conference (HITMC), THE conference for health tech companies to discover how to market better. HITMC is coming up in about 2 weeks, and last I checked registration was still open, so get in while you still can!
Scott came on my podcast to talk about public relations, something don't know a ton about, so I was excited to hear what he had to say. While he gave some great PR advice that is simple to follow for any startup, he was probably the guest where I first began to see the relationship theme weaving its way through my podcast. Relationships matter. Treat people like humans, whether it's the news media, customers, or investors.
When Chris came on Mission Marketing near the beginning of the podcast, we talked about growth hacking for health tech startups. The biggest thing I remember about our interview is how to overcome complex and long buying processes in healthcare and hospitals by targeting multiple people in an organization. If you only target one person, if they move on, you've lost your champion within the company and you have to start all over again. This was a great episode and Chris's knowledge of the industry and what it takes to win runs deep.
Dwight and I worked on a project together and have been friends ever since. If you need to learn about healthcare, this is the guy to go to. If he doesn't know the answer, he knows someone who does. He spent decades working in healthcare enterprises and startups and now takes what he learned and turns it into business development and growth strategies for digital health companies.
Michelle had so much amazing advice to give, she got not one but two episodes of Mission Marketing! (one this week, one next week) As a person who loves a good plan but struggles to put it into place, listening to Michelle share how to create a business plan was on point. If you are struggling to figure out what's next for your health IT startup or how to be strategic as you plan for coming months and years, Michelle is the person to go to.
Discover how to break your message and mission through the noise.
Schedule a 1:1 call with me to brainstorm how to fix your marketing.


A short rpg starring an unnamed hero, who happens to be a turtle. Turtle learns a variety of spells and abilities throughout his travels which he must use imaginatively if he is to defeat his wicked foes.
This is a nice game! Even though there aren't really any animations for the characters, it has some pretty good gameplay, and I also like the character sprites. Also, what did you use to make this game?
LoL, I glitched the game.
I think between 2-3 months. I worked on it for at least an hour a day for the most part but I was working full time while making it.

Miami Beach Pride announces Jonathan Bennett and husband Jaymes Vaughan as Celebrity Grand Marshals of Miami Beach Pride 2023
Celebrating its 15th anniversary, Miami Beach Pride announces its Celebrity Grand Marshals slated to lead the Pride festival and parade on Saturday, April 15 -16, 2023. Beloved LGBTQ+ actor Jonathan Bennett and his husband Jaymes Vaughan, Celebrity Page Host, Co-host of Pridecast, and Co-owner of OUTbound Travel LGBTQ+, will punctuate the festivities by being a visible presence and lending their voices in celebration for this milestone in our community. They will be joined by other grand marshals that will be announced in the coming weeks and continue the theme of celebration with the recent notice that entertainment legend Sandra Bernhard is hosting the Miami Beach Pride VIP Beach Affair.
Known for playing Aaron Samuels, the most popular boy at North Shore High in the 2004 queer cult-classic Mean Girls, Jonathan Bennett is now executive producing and starring in Hallmark Channel's first holiday film with a leading LGBTQ+ couple, The Holiday Sitter. One of the most loved and followed accounts on social media, the gay icon married his husband Jaymes Vaughan in Mexico earlier this year. Jonathan Bennett also played Bud McNulty in 2005's Cheaper by the Dozen 2, the title character in the 2009 comedy Van Wilder: Freshman Year, and is known for his recurring role as Casey Grant in the UPN mystery drama Veronica Mars. He was the host of the Food Network series Halloween Wars, and he previously hosted Cake Wars.
"Pride holds a near and dear place in Jaymes and I's heart", said Jonathan Bennett. "The LGBTQ+ community has come so far over the past 15 years, and we are beyond excited and honored to be named Celebrity Grand Marshals for Miami Beach's momentous Pride next year. It will be a great moment to celebrate our journey and where we are today. We are so grateful to all of the participating artists, LGBTQ+ icons and allies who will help make this a Pride to remember."
"At a time when LGBTQIA+ people are under increased attack, Miami Beach Pride is a beacon of hope for so many here in our beautiful and welcoming city," said Bruce Horwich, Miami Beach Pride Chairman. "Our Celebrity Grand Marshals this year truly embody the spirit of our 15th anniversary, a celebration of our continued progress as one global community. Jonathan and Jaymes have embraced their identities and used their platforms to help members of our community, and truly love and live their truth without fear or shame, exemplifying our key themes of inclusivity, visibility, community, and equality."
Rounding out programming for 2022 is this year's Pride Holiday Brunch, a celebration of the holiday spirit with loved ones, chosen family, beloved drag performers, and for the long overdue Hallmark holiday film with a leading LGBTQ+ couple. A fundraiser event to support Miami Beach Pride and its community, the holiday brunch is on December 17th at Miami New Times' two-time, award-winning restaurant Morini in Miami Beach. The Pride Holiday Brunch will be hosted by Miami Beach's very own Tiffany Fantasia, and includes a 3-course brunch, unlimited mimosas and bloody marys, Pride beats by DJ Deanne, and a variety of drag performances and holiday surprises.
The Miami Beach Pride Parade is scheduled for Sunday, April 16. Chosen partners, organizations and charities all over the country assemble to be a part of the Parade as thousands march in solidarity along Ocean Drive to celebrate their Pride. Floats, cheerleaders, drag queen performers and more can be seen marching together, a showcase of how Miami Beach uniquely stands for Pride.

O Parque Machado de Assis é um parque urbano situado no bairro do Santo Cristo, na Zona Central da cidade do Rio de Janeiro. Com 21.850 m² de área, o parque localiza-se no alto do Morro do Pinto. Em seu interior, situa-se o Reservatório do Morro do Pinto, o terceiro maior reservatório da cidade do Rio de Janeiro, que possui capacidade de armazenar até 15 mil m³ de água.

O parque foi reinaugurado no dia 1º de dezembro de 2013 após 17 meses fechado por conta das obras de ampliação do Reservatório do Morro do Pinto. A revitalização do parque foi feita no âmbito do Porto Maravilha, uma operação urbana que visa revitalizar a Zona Portuária do Rio de Janeiro.

Atualmente, o espaço conta com: uma quadra poliesportiva; um campo de futebol soçaite; uma pista para caminhada e corrida; brinquedos para crianças; uma academia de ginástica para terceira idade; uma pérgola; uma churrasqueira comunitária; um espaço para piqueniques; dois mirantes; e banheiros. Estima-se que cerca de 12 mil moradores do Morro do Pinto e das redondezas podem usufluir do espaço.

Em 28 de fevereiro de 2015, o parque foi promovido à vila olímpica, a 21ª da cidade, passando a contar com atividades de esporte e lazer. As modalidades oferecidas pela vila olímpica são: futebol, futsal, vôlei, handebol, badminton, ginástica rítmica e localizada, atletismo, caminhada orientada, atividades motoras e coordenadas, circuito e dança.

O parque recebeu seu nome por homenagear Machado de Assis, que foi um escritor brasileiro e um dos maiores nomes da literatura brasileira. Dentre os principais romances do escritor, estão: Memórias Póstumas de Brás Cubas, Quincas Borba, Dom Casmurro e Esaú e Jacó.

There's something that's taken the fashion world by storm and its nothing like you'd imagine.
Today I shall be talking about the glamorous slit dress I have worn during my visit to goa. Having a blast on posh group vacay is what we all think about and tend to forget about our outfit for the perfect occasion.Well, not to worry guys! Here I am going to give some ideas for an ideal beach outfit and cover up!
Go with thin material tops, stoles and shirts, which will give wide range of comfort.
slits n cuts would enahance the look as well as make you look stylish!
flats and rubber slippers are heaven as you guys can notice in my pictures.
dont forget your must-have accessories: sunglasses, a sun-blocking hat and lots of sunscreen.
Hope so you folks like this post. If anyone of u try anything similar to this slit dress post feel free to tag me or Dm on Instagram( the_blunt_of_ombre ) I would love to view them.
