Ten More Great Screen Biopics (11-20)
I recently watched an interesting pair of biopics that make for companion pieces of sorts. The first, "Unbroken," a 2014 WWII drama directed by Angelina Jolie and taken from the book by Lauren Hillenbrand, reintroduces the world to Louis "Louie" Zamperini, the Torrance, CA-born long distance runner who made a splash at the Berlin Olympics in 1936 before joining the war effort, crashing into the Pacific, and spending two years in a Japanese POW camp. The second film, 2016's "Race," details the struggles of Ohio State graduate and African American track-and-field athlete Jesse Owens, who won four gold medals at those same Berlin Olympics – a new world record that made one Adolf Hitler none too pleased.
The two films complement each other in several ways. First, in "Unbroken," we see a brief glance at the face of a black athlete in Berlin, and are supposed to assume that this is Owens. Second, both films depict, in that timeless sports drama tradition, the triumph over adversity and the struggle against impossible odds. Third – and a detriment to both films – they "whitewash" later aspects of their characters' lives. The takeaway from Hillenbrand's book was that Zamperini dedicated his post-WWII life to God. This fact earns barely a mention at the end of Jolie's film. As for Owens, he battled the IRS for much of his post-Olympics life, but that subplot didn't make the final cut of "Race." If that small detail doesn't make for the most exciting of dramas, it at least grounds the athlete in Everyman reality. Zamperini and Owens were just people, same as the rest of us.
A good sports drama will show us what made its subject such a remarkable athlete. A great sports drama will complement – or at least counter – the character's physical accomplishments with humanizing (or, in the case of "Raging Bull," the best sports biography, dehumanizing) subplots. Only boxing films seem to get it right.
My work was cut out for me last month when I came up with a top ten list of biopics – movies about the lives of real people. How do you depict a life on screen? And who is to say what makes a life worthy of having a movie made about it? Several of the films I came up were larger-than-life epics. Adventure films like "Lawrence of Arabia" and "Patton" earned a few places on the list. Others, like "Frida" and "The Imitation Game," revolved around artists and inventors. One, the aforementioned "Raging Bull," focused on a truly gifted – but truly monstrous – human being.
But there are more than just ten good stories out there. Here are ten more great screen biopics:

Although there are good movies every year, it seems that we have a banner year for cinema roughly once every two or three years. 2014 was one of those years, with "Birdman," "Guardians of the Galaxy," "The Grand Budapest Hotel," "Edge of Tomorrow," "Whiplash," and "The Imitation Game" being just a few of the year's stellar releases. 2012 was another; "Lincoln," "Zero Dark Thirty," "Amour," "Skyfall," "Django Unchained," "The Avengers, "Wreck-It Ralph" and one of my personal all-time favorites, "Cloud Atlas," were among that year's better releases.
2015 cinema, as a whole, wasn't nearly as memorable. We had another Bond movie, another Tarantino film, and the first true sequel to "The Avengers"…yet none of these films were quite on par with their predecessors. Sure, a small film called "Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens" continues to slay box office records like Kylo Ren's lightsaber as it plunges through _____'s stomach, but I wasn't as taken by its unoriginal story as some fans were.
Still, I've been on a major movie-watching kick of late. I have finally seen most of the 2015 releases that interest me, and I'm fairly certain that I've caught up on the majority of Oscar contenders. (I will find out for certain once the nominees are announced next week.) There certainly are enough good films to compile a top ten list, something I am wont to do. Here goes…without spoilers!

11 Metro lines to close: How Paris public transport will be crippled by Thursday's strike action
Paris' public transport services look set to come to a virtual halt on Thursday when unlimited strike action begins. Here's how services will be severely hit by the walk-out in protest against the government's pension reforms.
Published: 3 December 2019 19:11 CET

Starting on Thursday, December 5th, workers across France will walk out to protest at plans to reform the French pension system. Some unions have called for unlimited strike action.
Among the workers who will be striking are employees of RATP, which runs Paris' public transport system, SNCF rail employees, air traffic controllers and airline ground crew, hauliers, teachers, civil servants, rubbish collectors and notaires.
READ ALSO France December strikes 'Expect major disruption that could last until the New Year'
When public transport workers in France strike they are required to give their employers 48 hours notice that they intend to walk out. Once bosses know how many people will be at work, they can then publish strike timetables showing exactly how many services they will be able to keep running.
And in Paris, that does not amount to very many.
On the Metro 11 lines will be closed altogether. They are lines 2, 3, 3bis, 5, 6, 7bis, 8, 10, 11,12 and 13.
Lines 4, 7 and 9 will be running during rush hour only – from 6.30am to 9.30am and 5pm to 8pm. On line 4 one in three of the normal services will be running during those times and on lines 7 and 9 it will be one in four.
Only lines 1 and 14 – which are automated so do not need drivers – will be running a normal service but are expected to be extremely crowded. If the crowds become a safety risk these too could be closed.
On the RER suburban train service line A and line B – which connects Paris to its two main airports – will only be running during rush hour with 50 percent of normal service on line A and 30 percent on line B.
READ ALSO Six ways to get round Paris without public transport
Lines C and E will be running two trains per hour with some stations out of service and line D will be running four trains per hour.
The bus service will also be badly hit, with around an average of around one in three services running.
On the city's tram lines 1, 2, 3a, 3b and 5 will only be running during rush hour with one in three of the normal services running.
Lines 6, 7 and 8 will be running all day, with half services on line 6 and one in three on lines 7 and 8.
At this stage it is not clear how long the strike will continue for, but transport bosses are making preparations for at least the first week.
Detailed timetables for Friday will be published at 5pm on Wednesday, but services are likely to be largely the same.
RATP bosses have declared the weekend of December 7th and 8th a 'sacrifice' weekend, so will be running possibly even fewer services in order to concentrte their resources on getting commuters to and from work.
Many French people have already booked days off on Thursday and Friday, but if the strikes are continuing on Monday, December 9th transport bosses anticipate that being a very busy day as people return to work.
As the strike action covers the whole country, disruption will not be limited to Paris with other major cities such as Bordeaux, Lyon and Montpellier posting strike notices.
Transport on the national SNCF rail service will be badly hit, with around 90 percent of trains cancelled. Click here for more details.
Air travel will also be affected as air traffic controllers and airline ground crew strike – about one fifth of flights are cancelled on Thursday. Click here for more details.
And road travel could also be affected as hauliers join the strike.
Separately, a haulage union has announced that it will be staging rolling roadblocks across France on Saturday in a protest over fuel tax, which is likely to add to the general transport misery.
And in addition, a blockade of oil refineries is currently ongoing which is leading to filling stations across the country running short of petrol and diesel.
And in Paris police have ordered shops, bars and restaurants in some sections of central Paris to close in Thursday over fears of violence at 'yellow vest' protests.

'Painful' – is Paris Charles de Gaulle airport really that bad?
Following a survey that said Paris Charles de Gaulle airport was the best in Europe, we asked Local readers what they thought...
Published: 30 December 2022 16:16 CET
Recently, Paris Charles de Gaulle was voted the best airport in Europe by passengers.
The 2022 World Airport Awards, based on customer satisfaction surveys between September 2021 and May 2022, listed the best airport on the planet as Doha, while Paris's main airport came in at number 6 – the highest entry for a European airport – one place above Munich.
READ ALSO Paris Charles de Gaulle voted best airport in Europe by passengers
Given CDG's long-standing reputation doesn't quite match what the World Airport Awards survey said – in 2009 it was rated the second-worst airport in the world, while in 2011 US site CNN judged it "the most hated airport in the world" – we wondered how accurate the survey could be.
So we asked readers of The Local for their opinion on their experience of Europe's 'best' airport.
Contrary to the World Airport Awards study, users erred towards the negative about the airport. A total 30.8 percent of Local readers – who had travelled through the airport in recent months – thought it was 'terrible', while another 33.3 percent agreed that it was 'not great' and had 'some problems'.
But in total 12.8 percent of those who responded to our survey thought the airport was 'brilliant', and another 23.1 percent thought it 'fine', with 'no major problems'.
So what are the problems with it?
One respondent asked a simple – and obvious – question: "Why are there so many terminal twos?"
Barney Lehrer added: "They should change the terminal number system."
In fact, signage and directions – not to mention the sheer size of the place – were common complaints, as were onward travel options.
Christine Charaudeau told us: "The signage is terrible. I've often followed signs that led to nowhere. Thankfully, I speak French and am familiar with the airport but for first time travellers … yikes!"
Edwin Walley added that it was, "impossible to get from point A to point B," as he described the logistics at the airport as the "worst in the world".
And James Patterson had a piece of advice taken from another airport. "The signage could be better – they could take a cue from Heathrow in that regard."
Anthony Schofield said: "Arriving by car/taxi is painful due to congestion and the walk from the skytrain to baggage claim seems interminable."
Border control
Border control, too, was a cause for complaint. "The wait at the frontière is shameful," Linda, who preferred to use just her first name, told us. "I waited one and a half hours standing, with a lot of old people."
Sharon Dubble agreed. She wrote: "The wait time to navigate passport control and customs is abysmal!"
Deborah Mur, too, bemoaned the issue of, "the long, long wait to pass border control in Terminal E, especially at 6am after an overnight flight."
Beth Van Hulst, meanwhile, pulled no punches with her estimation of border staff and the airport in general. "[It] takes forever to go through immigration, and staff deserve their grumpy reputation. Also, queuing is very unclear and people get blocked because the airport layout is not well designed."
Jeff VanderWolk highlighted the, "inadequate staffing of immigration counters and security checkpoints", while Karel Prinsloo had no time for the brusque attitudes among security and border personnel. "Officers at customs are so rude. I once confronted the commander about their terrible behaviour. His response said it all: 'We are not here to be nice'. Also the security personnel."
One of the most-complained-about aspects is one that is not actually within the airport's control – public transport connections.
Mahesh Chaturvedula was just one of those to wonder about integrated travel systems in France, noting problems with the reliability of onward RER rail services, and access to the RER network from the terminal.
The airport is connected to the city via RER B, one of the capital's notoriously slow and crowded suburban trains. Although there are plans to create a new high-speed service to the airport, this now won't begin until after the 2024 Olympics.
Sekhar also called for, "more frequent trains from SNCF to different cities across France with respect to the international flight schedules."
But it wasn't all bad news for the airport, 35 percent of survey respondents said the airport had more positives than negatives, while a Twitter poll of local readers came out in favour of Charles de Gaulle.
Is Paris Charles de Gaulle airport really all that bad?
— The Local France (@TheLocalFrance) December 21, 2022
Conceding that the airport is "too spread out", Jim Lockard said it, "generally operates well; [and has] decent amenities for food and shopping".
Declan Murphy was one of a number of respondents to praise the, "good services and hotels in terminals", while Dean Millar – who last passed through Charles de Gaulle in October – said the, "signage is very good. [It is] easy to find my way around".
He added: "Considering the size (very large) [of the airport] it is very well done. So no complaints at all."

Q: WebException not occuring where it should? I've got a chunk of code that looks like this:
var task = Task.Factory.StartNew(() =>
{
    while (!bc.IsCompleted && !cts.Token.IsCancellationRequested)
    {
        PriorityDownloadPair pd;
        if (bc.TryTake(out pd))
        {
            var baseUri = pd.Value.Uri;
            Console.WriteLine("({0}) {1}", pd.Key, baseUri.AbsoluteUri);
            IEnumerable<HtmlNode> sq = null;
            try
            {
                sq = SharpQuery.SharpQuery.Load(baseUri);
            }
            catch (WebException we)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(we.Message);
                continue;
            }
            foreach (var node in sq.Find("a[href]"))
            {
                bc.Add(new PriorityDownloadPair(1, new DownloadItem { Uri = new Uri(baseUri, node.Attributes["href"].Value) }));
            }
        }
    }
}, cts.Token);

It runs fine for awhile (following and downloading every link it finds) until it hits a 404.
The 404 occurs in the SharpQuery.Load method as I'd expect:
public static IEnumerable<HtmlNode> Load(Uri uri)
{
    var doc = new HtmlDocument();
    WebClient wc = new WebClient();
    using (var str = wc.OpenRead(uri))
        doc.Load(str);
    yield return doc.DocumentNode;
}

But then why isn't my try block catching it?
If I go up the call stack it points to this line instead:
foreach (var node in sq.Find("a[href]"))

But sq.Find doesn't even touch any web interfaces. What's going on?
These lines are synchronous,
        using (var str = wc.OpenRead(uri))
            doc.Load(str);

Aren't they? Shouldn't cause an error down the road when it's finished loading?

A: This is because the load does not execute until you actually read the data, which is after the try block.

Q: Upgrading PGF without tex-package manager I don't use MiKTeX or any other package managers. I usually install new styles/libraries by adding the .sty file to the same directory as the .tex file and compile using pdflatex.
I figured out I have pgf version 2.0 and want to upgrade to version 2.10. I already tried doing texhash, but that didn't seem to change anything.
Can someone help me out? I don't wish to install any MiKTex-like software.

A: The solution to replace the /usr/share/texmf folder contents will certainly work -- but only so long until the package manager updates you TeX distribution.
The preferred way to install a local copy of a huge package like pgf 2.10 would be to install it either into your local texmf tree (which should have a higher priority when TeX actually searches for files) or you could also set the TEXINPUTS variable accordingly. The first approach is certainly the standard approach, but it may require to re-structure the directory representation of pgf 2.10 (pgf2.10/generic/pgf --> ~/texmf/tex/generic/pgf, pgf2.10/latex/pgf --> ~/texmf/tex/latex/pgf should already be enough for a LaTeX distribution).
The second approach would mean to unzip pgf 2.10 anywhere on your hard drive (for example the directory into which you would have copied .sty files for simple packages) and set TEXINPUTS=<my dir to pgf 2.10//: before compiling with this particular version. Note that // means "search in this directory and all its sub-directories" and the trailing : means "now continue searching in the default search paths" (don't forget this trailing :!). There are reasons why this might be a bad idea (slower due to lacking search index, also searches in pgf/doc/**, to say two obvious choices), but I like it because setting an environment variable is so light-weight and usually works much better than the other alternatives.
Note that even if you would use MikTeX, you could still install pgf in any directory of your choice (providing you apply the TDS restructuring as indicated above): you would then simply tell MikTeX "ah, and by the way: use my custom directory with higher priority than the system's default". But since you do not appear to use MikTeX, I won't go into the details.

A: The solution was to manually delete all files referring to the old version of pgf in the /usr/share/texmf folder. Then I manually copied all the files under the /tex directory in pgf_2.10.tds into the corresponding /usr/share/texmf folder. Then I ran texhash multiple times.
In the end, the library that I wanted to add worked, and compilation worked, and the result looks good.
Thanks.

Vipsania Agrippina (Kr. e. 36. – Kr. u. 20.) Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa, Augustus hadvezérének, barátjának és örökösének gyermeke első házasságából. Kr. e. 20-ben a később császári trónra lépő Tiberius első felesége lett, akinek ő szülte egyben egyetlen vér szerinti gyermekét, Drusus Iulius Caesart. Kr. e. 12-ben dinasztikus okokból elválasztották Tiberiustól. Újraházasodva az arisztokrácia megbecsült tagjaként élte le élete hátralevő részét.

Származása, családja

Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa Kr. e. 37-ben vette feleségül Pomponia Caecilia Atticát, a tehetős, lovagrendi történetíró, a Ciceróval baráti viszonyban lévő Titus Pomponius Atticus és Caecilia Pilia nevű feleségének leányát. (Utóbbi édesanyja révén Marcus Licinius Crassus, a triumvir unokája volt.) Vipsania a pár egyetlen gyermeke volt, bár egyes elképzelések szerint volt egy nővére, aki Quintus Haterius, a neves szónok felesége.

Élete

Octavianus és apja már első születésnapja előtt megkötötte az eljegyzését előbbi idősebb mostohafiával és potenciális örökösével, Tiberiusszal. A házasság megkötésére Kr. e. 20-ban került sor, és a politikai frigy boldognak és harmonikusnak bizonyult. Az ifjú párnak Kr. e. 13-ban született meg egyetlen gyermeke, Drusus Iulius Caesar. A trónörökösnek tekinthető Agrippa Kr. e. 12 márciusában elhunyt, ekkor özvegyét, Julia Caesarist Augustus dinasztikus politikája Tiberiushoz kényszerítette, aki emiatt kénytelen volt elválni szeretett feleségétől, hogy elvehesse a császár hírhedten erkölcstelen életet élő lányát. Vipsania ekkor éppen várandós volt, de a trauma miatt elvetélt. Tiberius megkeseredett, azonban felsőbb utasításra nem is találkozhatott első feleségével többé.

Vipsania később feleségül ment Caius Asinius Gallus senatorhoz, a híres szónok, Caius Asinius Pollio fiához. Öt fiuk született, és Gallus állítólag még Drusust is saját gyermekének vallotta.

Vipsania békében, kora egyik legprominensebb asszonyaként halt meg 20-ban, volt férje uralkodása idején. 21 és 23 között fia, Drusus szobrokkal, feliratokkal és érmékkel tisztelgett az emlékének. Második férje, Gallus 33-ban, jóval az elhunyta után halt éhhalált Tiberius császár börtönében.

Vipsania és Gallus utódai

 Caius Asinius Pollio, 23 consulja. 45-ben összeesküvés vádjával száműzték. Asinia, Pollio lánya állítólag nagyon hasonlított nagyanyjára, ezért Tiberius vonzódott hozzá.
 Marcus Asinius Agrippa, 25 consulja. 27-ben hunyt el. Fia, Marcus Asinius Marcellus 54-ben consul, majd Nero idejének megbecsült senatora volt.
 Asinius Salonius, 22-ben hunyt el. Férjjelölt volt Germanicus és Agrippina lányai, Iulia Livilla, Drusilla és Agrippinilla számára.
 Asinius Celer és Asinius Lupus, akikről keveset tudunk. Seneca említi őket Az isteni Claudius tökké válása című szatírájában.

Vipsania és Gallus egyik leszármazottja, Pomponia Gracina híres asszony lett. Elképzelhető, hogy keresztény volt, és hosszú, boldogtalan életet élt. Férje volt Aulus Plautius, aki Britannia meghódítását vezette tábornokként, és sikereiért ovatiót tarthatott. Nero megölette a fiukat, valószínűleg mivel anyja, Agrippinilla szeretője volt, és veszélyt jelenthetett a trónjára.

Why moving the VA to a new EHR was a pivotal decision
Aurora Aguilar
Dr. David Shulkin
Sanford Health
Dr. David Shulkin has been busy since he was unceremoniously fired in 2018 from his post as secretary of the Veterans Affairs Department. He's the chief innovation officer at Sanford Health and a distinguished health policy fellow at the University of Pennsylvania. He also recently penned the book It Shouldn't Be This Hard To Serve Your Country. But as one of only 10 people to have led the nation's largest integrated healthcare system, Shulkin's boldest move was asking Congress for $728 million to do away with a cornerstone of the agency's history.
WHAT WAS YOUR RISKIEST DECISION? Moving away from the VA's electronic health records system to a commercial EHR system.
WHY WAS THAT MOVE RISKY? The VA was one of the early leaders in developing an EHR 30 years ago and I think had a great influence and pride because of that. It was the largest EHR transition in history and because of the size and scale of the VA, it had lots of execution risks. It was essential that a successful EHR work with so many community hospitals and physicians that care for veterans, but the success of doing that was unknown because of the issue of interoperability. There also was no budget allocated. I knew that I'd have to go to Congress, as no one had necessarily planned on the move despite there being calls for 17 years. I did not go through a normal (request for proposals) process and procurement; I made a much more streamlined decision and so, put myself at greater risk, but I felt this was in the direct interest of the safety of veterans.
WHAT WAS THE RESPONSE FROM THOSE INVOLVED? Because of this debate that had been going on for close to 20 years, members of Congress were almost uniformly pleased that we had made any decision. The president was very pleased because it was further support that we are modernizing the system for veterans. The Department of Defense was very supportive because now we would have a single system from the time somebody entered the military all the way through the full continuum of their life, so it'd be a lifetime record. Veterans generally were pleased because they knew that their information about their health would now be available to the people caring for them. The reactions that weren't necessarily all enthusiastic were from the VA employees.
It was important to make a decision and not to pass the buck down the line because the organization would have been in worse shape without making a decision."
ANY ADVICE FOR EXECS IN SIMILAR POSITIONS? Remember that the job of leadership is really to listen to those around you and those who you serve. What I did was to really try to spend a lot of time understanding the problem, understanding the data, and then knowing that it wasn't going to be easy, but it was important to make a decision and not to pass the buck down the line because the organization would have been in worse shape without making a decision.
DESCRIBE YOUR LEADERSHIP STYLE: Principle-based, strategic, analytic, but also impatient and a risk-taker.
HOW WOULD OTHERS DESCRIBE IT? The fact that the VA and the president have continued to implement the exact policies that I put in place (says a lot) and that's comforting to me because we were beginning to fix some of the problems that have plagued the VA for decades. My reason for serving the VA was to bring a contemporary, modern approach into government using what I learned in the private sector, and I see that continuing.
After I left, the VA signed a contract with Cerner. They've continued to work closely with the private sector to make sure that veterans have good access and good quality. They continue to focus on the things that I set as the priority, like veteran suicide reduction. When you're not there but your ideas continue and your policies continue, that's a validation that you're an effective leader.

The promotion of your self-published book is a task that can scare many new authors, but it's something that can be fun and is not as elusive as you may thin, there are lots of ways that every indie author can ensure their book stands out in a very busy crowd.
Here we have comprised some great ideas to get you promoting and increase awareness of your book.
Use Facebook, blogs, forums and Twitter to comment on threads, you'll build a reputation as an authority and can even post a few links to your website/sales page.
Use a Press Release, not as popular as they once were but still a viable way to self-promote.
Give your eBook version away for FREE (for a limited time) on KDP, this can help in gaining reviews and helps you to give the book away to friends and family too.
Get reviews from as many friends and family as possible, give them your eBook for free and ask for a great review.
Use the website Goodreads.com to promote your printed book in one of their giveaway promotions.
Make sure all of your social media pages have similar banners and you use lots of images to promote your book (people tend to scroll past text alone).
If you're promoting a non-fiction book create several videos for Youtube giving talks, demonstrations and information upon your subject, these basically act as an advert with the viewer wanting to find out more, ensure you have a link to your website and sale page in the description.
Use Google Plus, not as popular as the other social networks but as most people have a Gmail account they'll also have a G+ page too.
Have a website, with the likes of Wix, Weebly and Wordpress (plus many more) it's easy to get your own author's website up and running in an afternoon.
Use your website to build an email list, you may need to give the first chapter of your new book away in order to get a viewer to subscribe, but a list is a great way to promote.
Create an advert on Facebook, Facebook will allow you to target your audience very specifically and gives you great control over your budget too.
Use forums like KBoards to create discussions, answer questions and build your presence, here you can also learn a great deal from other authors who are self-publishing too.
Guest post/blog, build links with other authors, bloggers and specialists within your genre/field and ask to write a guest post for their website or blog.
Create a series of books, they can be eBooks and they don't have to be that long either, it's normally the case that the more books you have as an author the easier it becomes with regards to selling upon Amazon.
Podcast, similar to having a blog, it will require some work but it's another great way to help promote your book (you can also guest on someone else's too).
Be charitable, promote your book that on one particular day all the profits from sales will go directly to a specific charity, shout about it online and get your followers involved.
Have something in your book which encourages your reader to visit your website and sign up for your newsletter, it could be the first few chapters of your next book etc.
Organize a book signing in a local bookstore, café or even bar, use social media, press releases, ads and posters to promote.
Go to book fairs, events and expo's, here you can promote your book to people within the industry.
Of course there are other things you can do to help promote your book (be creative), but the more YOU do in self-promotion the more books you'll sell.


I tend to have dry skin on the face and this stuff works great.
I love that it's so light yet effective. A lot of face lotions can be heavy, but this is light and covers your whole face with just a small amount.
This stuff went on clean and was fairly light. Could moisturize a little more and use an SBF. No heavy scent which was also good.
I'll admit I am not big into the anti-aging products. It's hard to tell if they actually have any effect. This product is no different.
This formula is nice and light so it doesn't make my skin feel greasy at all.
This stuff is non greasy, easy to use and I love it! Planning on buying once I stop writing reviews.
I was very pleased with this product and plan to use this brand long-term. My skin is somewhat sensitive to facial products so I'm never sure what the reaction will be. This product and my skin worked together quite well. Application of the lotion was easy, product worked well, and a nice clean scent was included. I recommend giving this one a try if you may have sensitive skin.
I used to sell men's skin care, and this is some of the best! Lab Series products are lightweight and are formulated through proven technology. I feel like they're almost a cosmeceutical.
Got this sample in my October box, and it was my favorite product inside the whole box. Goes on light, and absorbs quickly. Helped keep my face nice and toned throughout the day. My only complaint would be the price is kinda high.
with skin that had a tendency towards the oily, it's always refreshing to find a moisturizer that feels like it hydrates your skin all day without making your face look like an oilslick.


Thanks for sharing these thoughts. I hope you and Rhonda are both doing fine, all these years later.
Yes, Rhonda and I are doing just fine. Even after 20 years of living in southern Utah we continue to explore the beautiful red rock country that surrounds us. As an extra bonus we now have 2 grandchildren that we can share the joy with!

Captain Marvel Is Not About that Avengers Life… Yet
Posted by Xandra Harbet | May 8, 2018 | First Look, Interests, Movies, News | 0
In a universe full of BAMF female heroes, it's a bit frustrating that after a decade of building the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU,) there still isn't a female-led movie in the franchise—until 2019, that is. Captain Marvel (Brie Larson) has been in the works for years now, mainly due to the aforementioned sentiment that more representation is needed, but the movie has been pushed back multiple times. Carol Danvers is about to have her day in 2019 with a movie set in the '90s, yaaas.
This is a huge moment for the MCU, and it's not surprising that Avengers: Infinity War directors Joe and Adam Russo withheld her big debut from the movie. In addition to the necessity for her to stand on her own, plot-wise, it would have interfered with the ballsy ending of Infinity War.
While she wasn't physically present in the movie, she was represented in a major way during the post-credits scene, so she'll no doubt play a large role in the fourth Avengers installment after her own movie is released. Of course, the Russo brothers are remaining tight-lipped on all matters relating to the future of the Avengers. But, Adam noted on MTV's Happy Sad Confused podcast, "She will be a part of the MCU at that point, and part of the promise of these movies is that they are a road forward for all the films." Our fearless lady is credited with being the most "versatile and powerful hero in the Marvel Cinematic Universe yet." Suck it, Thor. When a girl is more powerful than a god: #girlpower (We love you, Thor.)
Super powerful heroes with superpowers are, of course, a challenge to write. During a previous interview with comicbook.com, Joe Russo eloquently stated that, "With super powerful characters, it's always about the flaw in the character, how is the character human? How is the character accessible? I have a hard time with comic book characters, I did as a child, that were too powerful because I never feared for them, I never felt like I could relate to them. I think that's why traditionally Batman is the most popular DC comic character, he's human. So, it's important for us when we're working with uber-powerful characters, to understand their vulnerability on a psychological level."
With a character of such magnitude, it will be exciting to see her unveiled at the center of her own movie and story, rather than a chess piece in someone else's.

He systematically deals with the reflection of contemporary post-industrial society influenced by genetic experiments, technical inventions, various conspiratorial theories and political parties with strong ideologies. His three-dimensional canvases represent thoroughly thought-out compositions linking real scenes with abstract and mystical elements. Paintings with explicitly or implicitly demonstrated anxieties of contemporary society disconcert and at the same time fascinate the viewer.

I know this is a compliment and I truly appreciate the sentiment. At the same time, I am a bit nonplussed to be described as such.
When I think of treasure, my first impression is an antiquity. The movie "National Treasure" comes to mind as Nicholas Gage spends 90 minutes trying to find the lost treasures his Masonic ancestors hid in various places.
Gage, of course, succeeds and manages to fall in love at the same time, which spawns the second movie in the series and pleas from his fans for a third.
Although my joints sometimes cry a different melody, I don't feel like an antiquity. I have, however, traveled around the block a few times and know a few things about life.
So I have thought about what I treasure and how I might practice more gratitude within my soul for those treasures I hold dear.
My treasures do not represent stuff, because I am antiquated enough to know that eventually – most of our stuff ends up at Goodwill and if I had all the money back that I have spent on stuff throughout the years – I could buy a car.
No, the true treasures for me involve people and memories – those happenings and experiences involving flesh and blood folks that cannot be replaced.
My relationship with my son is a treasure. There's something especially sweet when our children mature and we move into an easy friendship instead of strictly a parent / child relationship.
We have great discussions about life, politics and important things like which laptop to buy and how to set up the wi-fi.
We express our opinions about world systems and how we fit into them, the goals each of us hold for 2015 and how we are moving toward our dreams. I so desperately want my son to see his dreams become reality.
Another treasure involves growing up on the farm. Although my world now exists in the city, nothing can take from me the joy of climbing a tree, perching in its generous limbs and scribbling my first stories in my Red Chief Tablet.
Watching the massive Oklahoma sunsets change colors, celebrating the waving wheat ("that smells so sweet") and digging my hands into fresh garden earth to plant seeds that would later produce our supper – these are treasures that make me long for those hard-working blessed days without the stress of internet surfing and bungled emails.
Even writing about the country fills my heart with longing for my dream – a log home tucked safely between old trees that hold their own secrets – one room of that home surrounded by windows with my writing desk perched smack in the middle of all that light and creativity.
Because I am a writer, I observe people so one of my favorite treasures involves the many human beings I have known.
Students from various countries around the world, women who have enriched my life and saved it many times with their nurturing hearts, ministers of both genders and every race who have spoken into my life and the myriads of writers who bless me just by being their weird and wonderful selves.
My life has been enriched by meeting these folks, spending time with them, developing relationships with them, disagreeing with them and praying with them.
So I gladly accept the moniker of "treasure," because I hope I have somehow spoken into the lives of others the encouragement that keeps me going, the perseverance that keeps me writing and the joy that keeps me breathing.
I would be interested to know what you consider a treasure. How about sharing with all of us your thoughts on the subject?

The American Journalism Review dove into the deep pool of data and analysis compiled by the Readership Institute and surfaced in its current issue with a story provocatively entitled: Why Do People Read Newspapers?
Improving editorial and advertising content.
Building recognition and loyalty through stronger brand promotion.
It is unclear why AJR chose this time to write about the Readership Institute's research, which has been ongoing since its formation in 1999. Don't misunderstand me. I am a big fan of the Institute's work, particularly its emphasis on changing the destructive nature of newsroom culture, which I believe undermines all other innovation and change initiatives and which I have written about several times, including here.
But, I am curious why the magazine (for which I write occasionally) did this particular piece, especially since the article doesn't report on the success or failure of readership efforts at the newspapers its interviews - the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the Bakersfield Californian, the Racine Journal Times. I'd like to know: Is this stuff working? And, if it is, is circulation the only metric for measuring success?
Disappointingly - and, unfortunately, not surprisingly - in AJR's interviews with readership editors and other change managers in the industry, none mentioned using the Internet, with its great powers of interactivity, as a readership-building tool. I'll skip the usual argument hear about how involvement breeds habit, but it's way beyond the time for any readership discussion not to include conversation about electronic editions, forums, blogging, participatory journalism and other methods of moving the newspaper brand beyond a 14-by-21-inch swath of newsprint.
AJR included a sidebar on what readers like to see in newspapers - ideas of which many (intensely local, chicken-dinner news, teasers, feature-writing) don't necessarily, as Pete Bhatia, head of ASNE and executive editor of the Portland Oregonian, "line up with what our ideals are for good journalism."
Bhatia points out, though, and the Readership Institute agrees, that readers still want, and even expect, solid, serious, Big J journalism. My point, and the Readership Institute agrees, is that readers want more - more hometown news, more connection, more relevance, more attention paid to what they think and less paid to what other journalists think. One type of journalism doesn't fit all.
Beneath all these problems is newspaper culture. It is anti-change, insular and innovation-adverse and it can only be modified from within. Without culture change, content is mere frosting on a hollow cake.
If you're a journalist, read the Readership Institute material. Print it out. Pass it around. Practice it.
If you're a reader, write to your newspaper. Tell them what you want to read. Tell them what you thought of today's paper, what you liked, what you hated, what moved you, what disgusted you, what bored you.
They may just be in the mood to listen.
American Journalism Review Why Do People Read Newspapers?


The Mahindra Inferno SUV is going to rival against the likes of Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza, Ford EcoSport and the Tata Nexon. Prices are expected to fall in the range of INR 7.5 lakh to 10.5 lakh.
After the launch of the Alturas full-sized SUV, Mahindra is going to introduce a compact SUV i9n the Indian market as well. So far, it is speculated that the launch of this Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza rival is going to take place during the first half of 2019. In the wake of an announcement pertaining to its official production name, so far we have been referring to this SUV as the Mahindra S201 i.e. its codename.
However, recent developments suggest that this new rival for Maruti's segment leader Vitara Brezza could be called as the Mahindra Inferno. We reported to you earlier that Mahindra has filed a trademark for the name Inferno. However, earlier speculations were that the Rexton based SUV will be named as the Inferno.
The Mahindra Inferno or the S201, as you must be aware, is based on the SsangYong Tivoli. The SsangYong Tivoli is currently on sale in the European markets. Considering the fact that the Mahindra Alturas is almost identical to its donor SUV i.e. the SsangYong Rexton, we have every reason to expect the same from the S201 as well.
There have been several spy shots of the Mahindra Inferno circulating on the internet lately. Through this, we can clearly state that the development of the Inferno SUV is in its final stages.
There have been a number of speculations stating that this all-new Mahindra SUV is going to have some pretty impressive segment first features. For Instance, top-end variants could get a panoramic sunroof while there are chances that this SUV might come with a 360-degree surround view camera. For now, these are mere speculations as nothing of this nature has been confirmed as of yet by Mahindra.
We believe that the Mahindra Inferno is going to come with both petrol as well as diesel derivatives. Though not confirmed, the petrol derivative could be a 1.2-litre unit. This engine is likely to produce close to 100 BHP of power along with 150 Nm of peak torque. Both manuals as well as automatic variants will be on offer.
We have every reason to believe that the diesel derivative for this SUV is going to come with a 1.5-litre oil-burner. This is going to be the same unit which made its debut on the Mahindra Marazzo. This engine is capable of producing 120 BHP of power along with 300 Nm of peak torque. In the Marazzo, this engine comes with a 6-speed manual transmission. We expect a similar pairing for the Inferno as well.
As mentioned before, the Mahindra Inferno is primarily is going to compete against the likes of Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza, Ford EcoSport and the Tata Nexon. As a result of this, we have every reason to believe that its prices will fall in-between the range of INR 7.5 lakh to INR 10.5 lakh.

AP Uses Democrat Talking Points in Fred Thompson Hit Piece
Thread starter Stephanie
Posted by Noel Sheppard on June 26, 2007 - 23:30.
As Democrats complain about conservative dominance on the radio, the hypocrisy is made crystal clear when America's leading wire service copies talking points directly from one of Howard Dean's e-mail messages for a hit piece on looming Republican presidential candidate Fred Thompson.
Such was identified by Steve Hill of Target Rich Environment who brilliantly outlined the similarities between an e-mail message he received Friday from the Democratic National Committee chairman (complete text with timestamp and e-mail address to follow) with an Associated Press article published Tuesday at CNN.com (emphasis added throughout):
1. DNC talking point: "In his most recent stint in Washington, Thompson worked for a London company lobbying Congress to limit liability claims for asbestos-related illnesses. Over the past three years he's made $760,000 fighting for the interests of his corporate clients.
"AP/CNN talking point: "More recently, while Frist led the Senate, Thompson earned more than $750,000 lobbying for a British reinsurance company that wanted to limit its liability from asbestos lawsuits.
2. DNC Talking Point: "And just this month, as part of his role as the ultimate Washington insider, Thompson offered to host yet another fundraising event for Scooter Libby's legal defense fund. Thompson has been vocal in his support of Libby, saying that he would "absolutely" pardon him."
AP/CNN Talking Point: "Thompson also helped run the Scooter Libby Legal Defense Fund Trust, an organization that set out to raise more than $5 million to help finance the legal defense of Vice President Dick Cheney's former chief of staff, who was convicted in March of lying and obstructing Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald's investigation into the leak of a CIA operative's identity."
3. DNC Talking Point: "For years, acting wasn't the Law & Order star's profession — it was a hobby. In the real world, Thompson has made a fortune in a decades-long career as a Washington lobbyist."
AP/CNN Talking Point: "Republican Fred Thompson, who likes to cast himself in the role of Washington outsider, has a long history as a political insider who earned more than $1 million lobbying the federal government."
4. DNC Talking Point: "Although the folksy-sounding Tennessean recently told USA TODAY that he would run an outsider, just as he did while campaigning as a "country lawyer" in a red pickup during his 1994 U.S. Senate race, his résumé is that of a longtime Washington operative who has crossed ideological lines to represent corporate and foreign clients."
AP/CNN Talking Point: "That history as a Washington insider is at odds with the image Thompson has sought to convey to voters. When he first ran for the Senate in 1993, Thompson cast himself in the part of the gruff, plainspoken everyman, leased a red pickup truck and drove around Tennessee in his shirt sleeves."
Amazing similarities, wouldn't you agree? Now, check out the e-mail message that Steve received Friday for verification (his address has been removed for his privacy):

First, I support Thompson and will vote for him if he runs.
Now on this particular case...Is any of the information provided by the news story false? The question to ask is, What was the AP to do? They are reporting information that seems to be factual and , while I support Thompson, this information would appear to be important information for people to know when forming an opinion on whether to vote for him or not.

A slanted "news" story to say the least - but it would be refreshing if the liberal media would hold Hillary, Obama, and Edwards to the same standards
That will not happen however. The liberal media is in the tank for anyone who gets the Dem nomination
I like Fred as well. Plain spoken and Reagan conservative

Isfahan (IMNA) – Cyberspace has provided the conditions for businesses to grow and even hope for their dynamic existence. The matter of content production is very important for virtual businesses; publishing visual or written content to the suitable cyberspace can be effective in attracting audiences and target market.
Content production in tourism industry is of great importance, since the right content can greatly impact the way people choose their destinations. Visual content is the most important content that its correct production and exposure can attract many tourists.
"The speed of our lives has been increased; so people prefer to receive their required information through videos instead of reading long texts in order to save their time. Video clips can contain more words on such a short notice due to the use of images; as a one-minute video includes 1,600,000 words," Masih Sharif, the consultant of deputy for tourism in the field of media and diplomacy and activist in the tourism content production field said.
"Film & video production as one of the useful tools and methods is very effective in our contemporary world. The second global search engine is YouTube, even when you are searching on google, videos of YouTube will be always displayed on the screen!" he continued.

A billion pound, highly complex hi-tech project was considered to be in budgetary danger, due to political, organisational and technical turbulence. This midway analysis quantified the expected budget result, but also resulted in clarification and ranking of potential solutions.
A forecast of the end result and a ranked list of points which were critical for success were called for and were produced by an expert group within a few days.

2. Dogs have great long-term memories.
While your pooch will forget you yanking their tail, they won't forget the connection they share with you, and also, if you're good to them, you'll leave an enduring impact on them they'll never shake away. Take, for example, my dachshund Chester. From a young age he had been babied by my mother, and today, almost twelve decades later, he leaves her side. Unfortunately this sort of thing goes either way, like I used to mess with him quite a bit on a consistent basis (actually I do not believe it had anything to do together he's simply overly attached to my mother to enjoy anyone else), so today he traces in my overall direction whenever words of some kind come from my mouth.
